Almarai funds EEG recycling centers across UAE
Hundreds of students at five institutions across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will soon be saving and recycling their plastic bottles, newspapers and aluminum cans at school due to the forthcoming installation of recycling centers courtesy of Almarai and the Emirates Environmental Group (EEG).
The Millennium School, Latifa School, Happy Home Nursery and Zayed University in Dubai, and Sharjah Women's College are just some of the schools that will benefit from Almarai's environmental fund, which aims to encourage environmental awareness amongst youths in the UAE.
The recycling centers, which will be placed in prominent outdoor areas around each institution over the coming months, will be emptied on a regular basis and the recyclable waste transported to the various recycling plants in the UAE. These educational establishments will join another 51 institutions in the UAE who have all joined EEG's waste management campaigns since 2001. — (menareport.com)

It's still up in the air to when the TV Titans have to switch to Digital. I had originally understood the year to be 2007, but that may get pushed back to 2009.
The US government is due to sell some 'spectrum' to raise over $4bn to help support the move to digital – some hope the auction could raise up to $10bn. The raised money would be given to consumers to aid in purchase of the necessary digital converting boxes.
According to the government around 21 million US homes (around 6%) still depend on broadcast TV.

Planned Giving
Deferred Gift Annuity
Several years ago Larry and Allison invested $30,000 in what they believed to be an attractive stock. It turned out to be a very wise decision, because the value of the stock increased to $100,000 a few years later. Though they were not in need of additional income at the time, the couple decided to cash in on this growth and began considering selling the stock.
Allison: We had had a good year and were looking for ways to maximize deductions and reduce what we owed in taxes. At the same time, we had been exploring the best way to make a gift to our favorite charity.
Larry: Allison and I were both age 50 at the time, in good health and still working. And though we didn't really need extra current income, we were planning to retire at age 65 so we were always interested in smart retirement planning. Our goal was to be able to live comfortably and travel in our motorhome to visit friends and family.
Allison: I remember when we met with a gift planner. He explained the benefits of setting up a deferred gift annuity. Instead of selling, we could give our stock to our favorite charity and receive an immediate charitable tax deduction. Plus, when we turn 65, the deferred gift annuity would make annual retirement income payments to us for our lifetime.
Larry: We decided to set up the deferred gift annuity. And we experienced first hand each of the benefits Allison mentioned: we received a charitable tax deduction and tax savings immediately. And now that we're retired, we receive income each year that helps make our retirement travel possible. On top of all of this, the deferred gift annuity makes a portion of the income payments we receive tax free.

Physics Teacher,

Is there an alternative to money?
I read many entries on this site that tell me about the evils of money and how rampant capitalism is destroying the world. SO! I'm a highschool science teacher. I teach on average100 students per day for 1 or 2 hours each. How can I be compensated for my service in a way that doesn't involve some sort of promissory note?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 28 2013: If there were the necessary shift in the cultural paradigm, the idea of money wouldn't even be part of your thinking - any more than jurgulats are today. The word "money" would be nothing more than a series of syllables without meaning. The concept of money as a medium of exchange just wouldn't exist.
Thought experiment: You & 100 people are stranded on a tropical island and people don't know ur ship ran aground, AND (because this happened 400 years ago), no one will find you. The captain & his crew all died trying to save you & this now-unsailable ship). There is no power hierarchy in place.
Your 1st order of business is to find fresh water, temporary shelter, fire, and food to sustain you until you find the best place for a clearing to establish a permanent settlement. Each contributes time, talent, and expertise in the name of common survival. When the absolute essentials are taken care of, there is a shift in the cultural mentality. There is a lot of free time. What will you do with it? Sit and die of boredom?
No, you will pursue your interests and strengthen your talents. You will share them with the group. If you don't want to share them with the group until a currency is agreed upon and monetary policy established, you will be an outcast. The group will not share w/ you until you demonstrate that you want to be part of the group. Groups can do a lot more than singles - and in less time.
If you think your talent is building homes, but you aren't good at it, no one will want your home. You'll figure out that you have much to learn or that's not 1 of your talents. In the same way, if you are a physics teacher but no student wants to learn from you, you had best find another talent to share.
No power hierarchy. No government telling kids that they must go to you to learn even if you are not the best teacher. (hypothetically).'
Talent, skill & creativity become the currency of the day, along with the ability to get along with others.
Feb 28 2013: I agree that a pure communist leaderless. moneyless society is possible but they only seem to work upto the point where population is big enough to allow the formation of "tribes" within the group. You can't maintain a relationship with everybody once you get to 20000pop, so tribes form and you need a way of trading services between tribes.
Mar 1 2013: I perceive a vast difference between "tribes" and "communities". But trading services is just another form of money, so I think that the very idea of trading this for that is part of the fundamental flaw in our social system. I prefer the gift economy that comes with RATIONAL anarchy.
I'm not sure if by pure communism you mean Marxism - that values people above all. Remember that Marx himself said that if Communism is Marxism, then he is not a Marxist.
RATIONAL anarchy has almost nothing in common with anarchy. Anarchy is a fear-based system.
Mar 4 2013: Ed, If I could think of another word that would describe it, I would use it. But as no word currently exists, if I were to invent one, would you know what it means?
Anarchy is chaos. A group of people who are controlled by their emotions, rather than own them, might well form a government that manipulates us through those emotions - as our government and religions do.
Rational anarchy is logical, coherent, rational thought forming the basis for a ground-up (local up) government (with very few powers). It depends on the individual to be able to think rationally, thus to treat others and self well. It denies Big Brother ownership of the lives of individuals, and allows all to experience the consequences of their choices.
The word "Libertarian" comes closest, but I know of Libertarians who do not know the difference between a thought and an emotion, so to use the word would misrepresent what I am saying.

Top Performers
Detroit: R. Stuckey 24 Pts, 2 Reb, 1 Blk
Washington: J. Crawford 20 Pts, 2 Reb, 5 Ast, 3 Stl
Rodney Stuckey scores 12 in 4th including game winner as Pistons rally by Wizards
WASHINGTON -- With three minutes left in a game Pistons coach Lawrence Frank called "ugly, grimy, grindy" -- and his team won, beating the Washington Wizards 79-77 -- the aesthetic highlight, without a doubt, came when Detroit rookie Brandon Knight got drenched while hurdling over the team's sideline seats in futile pursuit of a loose ball.
Knight upended a jug of energy drink and about a dozen paper cups Monday night, spraying himself and some seated teammates. Play was delayed for a bit while Knight toweled off -- and some of the evening's most enthusiastic applause came in response to overhead video-board replays of his valiant and athletic effort.
"I just got up drenched," Knight said. "I felt like I was sweating a lot."
Yes, given the utter lack of good basketball displayed by two lottery-bound teams, Knight gave the Pistons a needed nudge, and Rodney Stuckey gave them the winning 20-foot jumper with 0.2 seconds left. Stuckey scored half of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, and the Pistons erased a 13-point deficit to end a five-game losing streak.
"Brandon's hustle play was a momentum-changing play. Guy took a shower during the game, and that doesn't happen a lot," Frank said. "I thought that really pumped our guys up."
It came during a game-changing run, as Detroit managed to win despite being held below 80 points for the third game in a row; that last happened to the Pistons in December 2003.
Greg Monroe, who played home games on the Wizards' court while at Georgetown, had 10 points and 10 rebounds, including a putback off a miss by Tayshaun Prince with 23 seconds remaining to put Detroit ahead 76-75. After Detroit's Ben Wallace made one free throw, Washington's Nene tied it at 77 on a hook shot with 5.8 seconds to go.
That left enough time for Stuckey -- who missed the past three games with a sore big left toe -- to get up court and step back for the decisive shot that capped a comeback against the no-lead-is-safe Wizards. This was the third consecutive home game in which Washington was ahead by more than 10 points in the second half before losing.
"Carbon copy of the last two here," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "If you keep running into the same guy, and he keeps punching you in the face, you're going to learn to get your hands up, aren't you? This is three straight times."
Jordan Crawford led Washington with 20 points, and John Wall had 14 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. But Wall also went scoreless in the fourth quarter, and missed a chance to help Washington with the ball in his hands late -- just as in the previous two home defeats.
This time, Washington scored the second half's initial eight points to lead 43-30. And while Washington lost its previous two home games despite leading one by 22 and the other by 16, those were against playoff-bound Indiana and Atlanta.
This was against Detroit, which like Washington is headed for the draft lottery.
Neither team has a chance of making the playoffs: Detroit is 17-32 and last in the Central Division, while the Wizards came in 11-38 and the only reason they weren't last in the Southeast Division is that Charlotte resides there.
And they played like it.
The Pistons shot 28 of 76 (36.8 percent) in the game and accumulated more turnovers (13) than buckets (10) in the first half.
"The NBA called," Frank said. "They were about to throw both of us out of the building."
It didn't help Washington that it was playing its third game in three nights, the team's first of those rough stretches the NBA worked into the schedule in order to help it cram in 66 games after the lockout-shortened the calendar.
The Wizards, who have lost four in a row overall, took their sizable lead despite starting the game 0 for 10 on 3-point tries. That drought ended, surprisingly enough, when Wall made one; the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft was 2 for 27 from beyond the arc this season until then.
The first quarter was about as ugly as professional basketball gets. The Pistons missed their first six field goal attempts and finally made one on Stuckey's end-to-end layup at the 7:13 mark.
"The first half," Stuckey said, "was horrible on both sides."
Detroit wound up 5 for 19 in the quarter -- 26.3 percent.
The Wizards weren't much better, though, making 7 of 21 shots -- 33.3 percent -- and trailed 16-14.
Yes, 30 total points for both teams after a full quarter of NBA action.
The quality of play didn't really improve in the second quarter. There were air balls. Passes thrown into the crowd. Finger rolls that rolled off the rim.
At halftime, Washington led 35-30, matching Detroit's lowest output for a half this season.
Game notes
The Wizards were without F Trevor Booker because of right knee tendinitis. ... Washington won the teams' first meeting this season by 21 points on Feb. 12. ... Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps was in a courtside seat near the Wizards' bench.

It will be an early start for Masterton golfer Ben Campbell when the BMW New Zealand Open gets under way at the Clearwater Golf Club in Christchurch today.
Campbell, who is turning professional after a stellar amateur career, will tee-off with his former Eisenhower Trophy teammate Ryan Fox, a three-time winner in his rookie year as a professional, and New South Wales pro Ewan Porter at 7.30am from the 10th hole.
For those who see Campbell as a possible "dark horse" in this event, the TAB is offering odds of $200 should he be at the front after four rounds.
Joint favourites for the title are Kiwis Mark Brown and Michael Hendry and Australian Nick Cullen, all of whom are at $9.
Brown, who finished third at the Australian Masters last week, hasn't played the NZ Open for four years and is unfazed by talk of him being a likely winner.
"Yeah, I don't mind," said the former Johnnie Walker champion. "A lot of things have to go right to win a golf tournament, you need a bit of luck and you need to putt well ... it would be great to have a Kiwi winner."
Outside the top three, another Wellington pro in Gareth Paddison is seen as the next best hope. He is paying $17 to win the event for the first time while New South Welshman Aaran Townsend rounds out the top five rated players at $20 for a victory.

The Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman fighter salaries were released to MMAWeekly.com on Monday by the California State Athletic Commission.
The main bout at Saturday's event featured Strikeforce bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey continuing her amazing unbeaten streak, racking up her sixth first-round armbar finish in as many professional fights. She submitted top contender Sarah Kaufman just 54 seconds into the fight.
The following figures are based on the fighter salary information that promoters are required by law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners' bonuses.
Although mixed martial arts fighters do not have collective bargaining or a union, the fighters' salaries are still public record, just as with every other major sport in the United States. Any undisclosed bonuses that a promoter also pays its fighters, but does not disclose to the athletic commissions (specifically, pay-per-view bonuses, fight of the night bonuses, etc.), are not included in the figures below.
Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman Fighter Salaries
Ronda Rousey: $40,000 (includes $20,000 win bonus)
def. Sarah Kaufman: $17,000
Ronaldo Jacare Souza: $94,000 (includes $22,000 win bonus)
def. Derek Brunson: $13,000
Tarec Saffiedine: $35,000 (includes $17,500 win bonus)
def. Roger Bowling: $10,000
Anthony Smith: $6,000 (includes $3,000 win bonus)
def. Lumumba Sayers: $7,000
More MMA
Ovince St. Preux: $34,000 (includes $17,000 win bonus)
def. TJ Cook: $3,000
Miesha Tate: $38,000 (includes $19,000 win bonus)
def. Julie Kedzie: $5,000
Adlan Amagov: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus)
def. Keith Berry: $2,000
Germaine de Randamie: $15,000 (includes $7,500 win bonus)
def. Hiroko Yamanaka: $8,000
Bobby Green: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus)
def. Matt Ricehouse: $5,000
Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman Disclosed Fighter Payroll: $368,000
While I'm sure Rousey has sponsers, as the defending champion she should have made the most on the card. I also acknowledge sh has had less fights, which is how they compute salary, but being the champion should matter more.
I'm sorry but I doubt Brock Lesnar made that disclosed amount for any of his championship bouts. $2000 more than an ex champ she already beat? Jacare gets more than double without a belt?! Disclosed or not, that's terrible!
extremely unpaid
Yeah, she should be getting paid more. She's arguably the most marketable fighter in Strikeforce.
Ronda Rousey is getting seriously underpaid, n one would have watched the fight if it wasn't for her.
@nadillon all that sponsor money goes to paying off training and management teams
I didnt know that. I have always wondered this: Does anyone know how much the sponsers pay (I know its vastly different per fighter) and how much the pay per view bonus is?
These figures are what they were paid by Strikeforce. This does not include sponors and other bonuses awarded to the fighters.
That pay schedule is seriously screwed up. If Strikeforce et.al. expect to attract serious quality talent they must bring women's pay up. Especially the headliner! Only $2000 difference between Rhonda and Miesha is ridiculous. Why worry about being the champ if the difference is that small? Rhonda should have made at LEAST three times that much.
the salaries are a joke. Meisha big nose tate makes almost what Rousey does??? No one cares about Souza. Rousey ought to go into movies and make some real money. Ronda got paid peanuts and big nose Tate isn't worth anything
$2000 $5000 ??? to fight? lololololol

Former Tennessee forward Renaldo Woolridge on campus today during his visit to USC.
Monthly Archives: April 2012
Big Weekend
USC's baseball team opens a three-game series at Dedeaux Field against Oregon State. Meanwhile, the track team's biggest event of the year, the dual meet against UCLA, takes place Sunday in Westwood.
However, the No. 1-ranked USC men's volleyball team is not playing because the Trojans were upset by No. 2 UC Irvine at the Galen Center on Thursday night in the MPSF Tournament semifinals.
Grand Opening
The long-awaited Expo Line finally opens this weekend. It is important from a football standpoint because USC will encourage fans to use it if the Trojans are ever forced to host a midweek game at the Coliseum.
Word of warning: Exposition Blvd. is expected to be closed between Figueroa and Vermont for most of the next three days.
Open Forum
Time to ask questions again. One per person please.
Morning Buzz
Nick Perry was asked about possibly facing Matt Kalil next season when Green Bay plays Minnesota.
"It's great competing against guys I've went against and even practiced against at USC," Perry said. "It's going to be an opportunity and I'd love to get after him, and I'm excited for it."
Perry Reaction
"In Green Bay, there's great tradition to help improve my game."
Kalil Reaction
"Out of all the visits I took, Minnesota was the place I could see living for the next 10 years and finishing my football career."
Vikings Reaction
Here's Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier on selecting offensive tackle Matt Kalil:
"We saw him as a guy that can be a Pro Bowler for a long time. It's a great move for us."
Kalil To Vikings
USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil got drafted by the Minnesota Vikings as expected. He just got selected one spot lower after the Vikings traded down a spot.
Dual Sports
USC football players Tony Burnett, Marqise Lee and Nickell Robey are expected to compete in Sunday's dual track meet at UCLA. All three are expected to compete in the long jump, Burnett will also do the triple jump while Robey (1st leg) and Lee (3rd leg) should run the 4x100m relay.

Playground preach6 Reviews
He used to have Nikkie, but she wouldn't even recognize him anymore.
Shaking from adrenaline Frank ran, blurry streetlights and the noise of honking cars seemed background information. There wasn't enough room in his head to comprehend his surroundings and the euphoric high he'd felt minutes ago was completely gone. Shattered and now there was a black hole throwing up thoughts and memories.
He'd lost track of time the moment he ran out of Tamika's home, neither destination nor location mattered. All he could was run, get away, get away.
Eventually he tripped over his own drunken legs and collapsed on the ground. Feeling how his raw palms burned he gritted his teeth as the stingy gravel scraped his cheek open.
It all hurt like a bitch, for a moment he aimlessly lay on the ground, kind of waiting for lightning to strike and get it all over with. Oh if someone just had the pity to rob and murder him now.
But of course, no lightning and no hopeless fuck around when you need them.
So he got up, got on his knees and pulled himself together. His shirt was drenched with sweat and the night air was cold, shivering it struck him: He'd forgotten his bag when he stormed out. So no jacket, no clean clothes, no cigarettes, no nothing.
He ended up at a park, staggering aimlessly around. It felt like he was going in circles and in a way it was true. A vicious circle, all his own fault. Because if he simply sat, or rather lay back he'd be having sex right now. Frankie getting laid, that hadn't happened in a long time.
So why didn't he? Deep down he knew the answer but he was too stubborn to realize.
With a head filled with thoughts Frank walked into a playground. For a moment he debated to sit down on the swing, but that would make him a swinger and that thought pissed him off. So he crawled underneath on of the big playthings, nudged his head at the underside of the slid and parked his drunken ass onto the clammy wood mulch ground.
Sitting there an overwhelming feeling of loneliness overtook him. If, for whatever kind of reason, he'd die this instant nobody would miss him. Nobody in the world would really bother. His own mother wouldn't even understand the concept of his 'death'. She'd think he went back to hell and maybe, just maybe she would feel bad about the fact that she hadn't been able to save his soul. But a demon child, how could she blame herself for that. Her little boy, her little creature, hellspawn. No, she wouldn't miss him. Besides he hadn't seen her in about four years. Maybe five? Five and a half?
Friends, short and crude: he didn't have any.
Family, as far as he knew: none of them gave a fuck about him and he wasn't entirely sure they knew he existed. There was a vague six year old memory of a broad tinted man, who gave him a toy car, but that guy could also be one of his first social workers and besides he'd been too traumatized to imprint any clear memories for the moment they kind of hijacked him from his mom.
He used to have Nikkie, but she wouldn't even recognize him anymore.
'Nikkie,' miserably Frank wished he had a bottle of cheap Vodka. Something to drain the agonizing feeling of being all alone. Mostly he could suppress that feeling, ignore it and shut it off.
But the truth hunted him down eventually; a foster fuck doesn't have someone around that loves him unconditionally. You give that right up the moment they bust down your door and take you to 'a better home'. More suitable, too bad you had to give up love and hope and respect and safety.
And of course you think differently at first. That first friendly smile of your 'new mom', you get your hopes back up. But that hope shatters, sure it takes a while. But eventually she smacks you're in the face long enough to break down every last bit.
That'll teach you, little chicken-shit!
Safety? Third foster home, you can't even feel safe in your own little bed because every once in a while your supposable foster dad will come up the stairs to 'feel you up'.
Our little secret, buddy.
Love, heck by the time you're through your sixth foster home you can't even remember the last time someone used that word, or acted towards it.
You think I care about you, retard? You're just an easy way to money.
Respect, you'll give that up to by the time you swore off foster care for good and have to get fucked by random strangers to keep your head high as a kite. Because dealing with the lack of love, respect, safely and hope in your life, makes it damn hard to live it sober and clear.
He remembered teachers telling him his head was too high in the clouds, damn had they been right.
Basically he was nothing, a nobody and if he didn't keep himself alive… Well, nobody would and he didn't expect anyone too. He didn't expect anything from anyone else, because that way he wouldn't get hurt in the end.
The amount of empty promises, the sweet lullabies to keep him craving and vulnerable grooming him into the perfect play toy, he was done with that. For too long strangers had cheated him, lied to him and used him. He was done with that, he didn't want to feel that pain anymore. Because it hurts so much to hope, it hurts so much to realize it's all lies. That it wasn't because of him, but just about the money. That he didn't matter at all, that he was nothing special. Just a crush, a thing or a way of entertainment.
He didn't want to fall in love again because he didn't think he'd survive one more heartache.
He missed her, every god damn day. Even after all the nasty shit she pulled on him, he missed Nikkie.
He'd met her when he was thirteen in a youth centre. Back then his foster home wasn't… let's say 'suitable' so most of his time he wondered on the streets or in and around a local youth centre.
She'd been sixteen when they met and she was everything he was not, besides their living conditions. Wrapped in skin tight jeans and a leather jacket, Frank felt immediately drawn to her. And she knew that, oh she knew that. Girls like her must have a radar for boys like him. She thought he was hilarious. Fuck, she found him a loser, pathetic, she'd always thought he was a loser. Because he had a weak spot, because he always came back to her like a sickly wounded pup craving for her attention, her approval.
Nikkie had her problems and Frank wasn't sure he even knew half. Nikkie had always been restless and reckless, always letting him feel he was the underdog. And he didn't care because he loved her. Oh, he fucking loved her. Because she was the only one who knew and who he could talk to. It didn't matter to him that she made fun of his fears and would mock him with something he told her confidential. He didn't even care she would drag his mother in every fight they used to have.
He lost his virginity to her, underneath a similar plaything.
She'd taunted him he couldn't 'get it up', he told her could get it up. Wearing a very short little skirt she then dared him a bit further and eventually they had sex. Awkward, clumsy and it was 'done' in about four minutes. And of course she'd thought he was hilarious when he was done and tried to zip his jeans back up with a flushed face. Fuck, he'd been so embarrassed and he thought that she never wanted to see him ever again after that. Because Nikkie fucked with a lot of guys back then. With guys, not thirteen year old boys who barely had grown any pubes.
But she must have seen something in him, because she kept coming back and sometimes share cigarettes and booze. And sometimes, when she was really wasted they would make out and in a way she restored some innocence, something he thought he'd lost.
He loved her, even though he wasn't sure she loved him. But she must have cared because she always came back. He loved her because she'd made him feel wanted and eventually needed as time passed and their 'relationship' developed.
She needed him but not in the way he needed her. She wanted him around because he made her feel good about herself, made her feel content and important.
He needed her around because she made his life bearable. And because he needed someone to love, he needed someone important; he needed that special someone even though she wasn't. She was an egocentric bitch who didn't care if he was dead or alive, he knew that now. Because when he'd been taken to the hospital, more dead than alive, she'd never bothered to show up at his hospital bed. And the day he was going to be brought to the re-education centre he heard the news that she jumped off a three storey apartment building.
Yet he still missed her, he missed her so fucking much. Because she made it worth it, she made everything worth it. She'd made him feel worthy.
Maybe he would be better off dead. Raped and killed, rotting in a ditch and nearly unable to ID once cops found his body. A simple funeral, provided by government money. Poor government, even dead he cost them their beloved money.
On days like this dead or alive didn't seem like such a big deal, or different. Mostly he filled up the big gaping black hole of craving with whatever got handed, drugs, booze, sex you name it. On days -or rather nights- like these that safe haven was gone and he had to face it, he was a shell. Hollow, outlived and worn down. Just like his clothes and shoes, he felt second handed and damaged goods. He wasn't stupid he knew he was nothing more than that. Used and used and abused and used, circle after circle and right now he was back at the start.
'I miss you', he through blinking through blurry eyes and realized it wasn't just because of the rush of booze and pot, as a wet trail ran down his cheeks. 'I miss you,' wrapping his arms around his knees he stared up to the rotting underside of the wooden structure. By now his thoughts were playing tug-o-war between the two women in his life that both abandoned him. His mom and Nikkie, both times he'd been dangling, trying to keep his head above the waves and their wrath. Eventually he'd lost and ironically lost both of them to the state. His mom remained in a psyched ward and Nikkie?
After her big jump of the edge she ended up paralyzed from the waist down with the mental capacity for a two year old. Vicious nasty Nikkie was gone, all gone. And he'd wanted to smack that blank doo-eyed gaze off her face as he came to visit her in a house that smelled of human shit and antiseptics.
But all he did was pet through her hair, wipe the drool off her face and told the lady at the desk he wouldn't be coming back. Because the Nikkie he'd known was dead, but better off. Because for the first time in her life she seemed happy. Fucking retarded, but happy. That troubled wronged shattered expression was gone, replaced by a glassy gaze of ignorance. Although he'd been sure (or kept telling himself) that there was some recognition when he stepped into that bright yellow room, because she'd made a high pitched screeched that sounded a bit like her drunken giggle.
Nikkie, blessed with no memory at all and all the colorful toys she wanted. Nikkie didn't need him anymore, all he would do was make her remember and if he'd had the choice he wouldn't want any of those memories at all.
He'd said his goodbye's to her in silent, while brushing tangles of hair behind her ear. Halfhearted he had the hope that they could run away together. By then he'd only heard the rumors of Nikkie living in a house for the disabled and he'd set his hope on getting her out of that place. He figured he could take care of her if she was in a wheelchair. Hell, she would bitch him around and drive him insane, but he would have her back even after she left him for dead in the hospital and hadn't bothered.
That was just Nikkie and Nikkie didn't care about anyone but her own best interests, but he did.
'I miss you', Frank thought and closed his eyes, remembering his first time underneath a wooded play thing. 'I miss you.'
I've been the worst updater in the world. I know, please don't send me hate mail, my fragile ego can't handle that. Well it can, it'll morph into a bitch and then there will be hell and pain. I'm ranting right now. Jup, I've abandoned this story, reason? I started writing about three other stories, one being online here, Pyromania, if anyone wants to know. And another one about feral children but I'm still to chicken to post that because it's a little personal.
Anyway, back to this story, this chapter. Normally I'm a Gerard Way fan, but in this story I don't find him half as interesting as the tricks I've pulled with this Frankie. I like how Frank is turning out and more important, why he's turning out like he does. I mean I like freaks and fuck ups, it's my 'thing'. It's either a mental illness, or another psychological aspect that keeps me interested to write. And this Frank, the gigantic wall he's build, the way he keeps completely shielded off, yet I'm –and you as reader- are on the front row, getting all kinds of hints and clues. While Gerard doesn't, which will lead to very interesting things.
I'll try to update faster, promise!

I had the pleasure of shoot Karina today with her incredibly beautiful two-colored eyes. Check it out…
Another great day in Santa Fe as I got to spend 4 hours shooting with a wonderful model who was willing to do just about anything. She was a joy to work with. Most of this was with a large softbox and sometimes a 2x CTO gel.
An excellent day here in Santa Fe as I got to shoot three different models over the course of a few hours. My favorite lighting was a three light setup with two lights lighting up the white backdrop and a 75″ Octa Bank providing the most beautiful soft light imaginable. Here are a few of my favorites from today's shoots.
Just sixty minutes from Santa Fe are the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks. I got in the car and made sure I was at the entrance to the park at 7am when they were supposed to open. Well, things happen a bit slower here in the Southwest. The park rangers moseyed on in at about 7:10 and then discovered that neither had the keys to the gate. A few minutes later, ranger number three arrived with the keys and I was permitted to enter. With a tripod in one hand, a water bottle in the other and my D800 slung cross-body and hanging against my back, I began my hike on the Slot Canyon Trail. Alone, I sometimes had to squeeze through rather tight spaces as I worked my way to the fairly steep climb to the top. Along the way, I snapped a few shots (below) and began my ascent. Those of you who know me know that I am a rather avid cyclist. As I climbed the rocky trail in the 8am desert heat, already 75 degrees, I realized that I was soaking wet and breathing heavier than I would expect. It wasn't until later that I found out that Santa Fe sits at 7000 feet above sea level. Okay, I was a bit redeemed. Anyway, here are a few shots from today.
I've been using the BlackRapid sling straps for years. Connecting to the bottom of the camera, the BlackRapid sling straps take all the weight of the camera off your neck by resting on your shoulder with a large, ergonomic pad and going cross-body to hang at the opposite side at your waist. With it's patented slider system, the camera glides up the strap as you lift it to your eye gunslinger style. However, sometimes, it is a bit too much strap for my purposes. Enter The Shot….
The Shot is BlackRapids first foray into a non-sling type strap. They introduced The Shot a few months ago, but it was only available in a very bright orange color that screamed out "Hey, I've got a camera!". I loved the functionality of this strap, but wasn't too keen on the color. BlackRapid has now released the black version and I'm hooked.
The Shot is a shorter 35″ strap with a comfortable non-slip rubber pad. I find this to be the perfect length, as I can throw the strap over my shoulder so that my camera rests comfortable behind the crook of my arm. With the same hardware as all the traditional BackRapid straps, my camera is easily accessible and slides up the strap to my eye. There is much more room in my camera bag because this strap is much more compact than other sling straps. What I like most about The Shot is the ability to grab my camera and go. I can grab it from the table or the seat of my car and slide it on my shoulder in one quick movement. The black Shot is nicely made with the rubber pad molded onto the strap itself providing a nice pattern without being obvious.
The camera still hangs upside down as it is attached to the tripod mount like other BlackRapid straps which keeps the strap out of the way when looking through the viewfinder. The main thing I don't like about traditional straps is that they are always getting in the way of the viewfinder, especially when shooting vertically. Yes, there is the attachment on the bottom which can be a bit uncomfortable when shooting with a vertical grip, but you quickly get used to it. The only drawback, like any BlackRapid strap, is attaching the strap to your camera if you use a L-bracket. That is easily remedied by using the fabulous Acratech Quick Release Clamp. The clamp has a tight quick release lever that attaches to your bracket and provides a solid ring to hook on your BlackRapid stap. Because of the bottom attachment, you do have to be careful when putting your camera down so that it is stable and doesn't rest on the sensitive top of the camera.
The Shot is a great addition to my camera bag and, while there are times when I want the all-day comfort of the traditional cross-body sling straps, I love the grab-and-go of The Shot and it rarely leaves my camera.
Adobe has announced that with Lightroom 5.5, the latest update, if you cancel your Cloud subscription, you will not lose all the work you've done previously. The only parts of Lightroom 5.5 that will be disabled are the Map Module and the Develop Module. You'll still be able to organize, keyword, print and make slideshows with your existing catalog. You will still have access to the quick develop functions as well. This should put to rest some of the fears surrounding signing up to the Creative Cloud.
Don't forget, Adobe has made their Photographer's Bundle pricing permanent (for now), so you can get both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop for only $9.95 a month. I think this is a sweet deal!
Everyone you talk to says you should almost always shoot in aperture priority and, honestly, I've done the so for years. But recently, I've had a bit of a change of heart in this matter.
Yes, by shooting in aperture priority you control the artistic look of the shot, but you may not always find that your images are sharp. For the past month or so, I tried a bit of an experiment (for me, anyways). I've been shooting my street photography almost exclusively in shutter priority. My starting point is 1/125. Why, you ask? Here's my reason… sharp images in any light. People are always moving, so I know, if I shoot at 1/125, the image will be sharp. If I find a shot where I must have shallow depth of field, I'll lower the shutter speed to open up the aperture. If I need a higher DOF, then I'll simply increase the ISO to get the aperture to close up a stop or two. I've found that I'm getting more sharp images and can just as easily adjust the DOF on the fly.
I have the great honor of photographing this weekend's Puget Sound Honor Flight. We are heading to D.C. in the morning with 31 World War II veterans so they can see the war memorials for the first time! We hit the WWII memorial first thing in the morning. We began the journey at SEATAC where I took portraits and, along with some fellow photogs, followed the group to the gate as we were escorted by full dress, honor guard. When we arrived at BFW, two fire trucks created an arc of water over the plane as a welcome. The veterans were met with a flag waving crowd and cheers from the entire airport. It was all very moving and we haven't even gotten to the memorials yet.
I had the honor and privilege to spend Memorial Day with 30 World War II veterans for a pre-game event by the Mariners. These guys are amazing and I hope my images capture the spirit that still thrives in each one of them.

The Event
Recently, a colleague of ours was walking along an aisle in a work area. One side of the aisle was bordered by a wooden crate. The worker's thigh brushed up against the lid of the crate. A wooden splinter entered his right thigh, through his jeans. He removed the splinter, which was about 1" long, and continued working. He did not visit BNL's Occupational Medicine Clinic (OMC) at the time because he believed that he had removed the entire splinter and the injury did not warrant a visit to the OMC.
Some two weeks later, the worker noticed a reddening around the site of the original injury. He scheduled visits to the OMC and his personal physician, who determined that a portion of the splinter was still in the worker's thigh; the splinter was later removed when hot compresses were applied to the site of the injury. The physician prescribed an antibiotic to counteract the infection. The prescription resulted in this injury being classified as a Recordable Injury. There were no lost work days as a result of this injury.
What Can Be Learned From this Event?

Blinkx Video Search Index - 18 Million Hours
Blinkx sure does do a great job with their PR. Seems like every day there is a new post or press release with their founder and CEO praising them as the largest video search engine. Just an observation.
I found a very interesting post and interview with Blinkx.com's CEO on Investors Business Daily titled, "To Watch All Blinkx's Video Would Take 18 Million Hours"
Here is an exerpt from the interview with Suranga Chandratillake and Brian Deagon:
"IBD: How much video is on the Internet today?
Chandratillake: Nobody knows for sure, but the growth rate is certainly explosive. We search the Web for video, using speech recognition and visual analysis, and then index the data. At the end of 2006, we had indexed around 3 to 4 million hours of video. By April, that had grown to 7 million hours, and we're now at 18 million. We believe we have the single largest index of all video on the Web, but even we don't think we have all of it. It could only be half of what's out there."

Actress Nicole Kidman put on 15 pounds and did her own hair and makeup to get into her trashy role for upcoming movie "The Paperboy."
Bing: Will Nicole join Keith Urban on 'American Idol'?
The actress plays a highly-sexed blonde who falls in love with a convict in the new thriller, and director Lee Daniels admits he asked her to gain weight for the role so her character would appear more flawed. He tells the New York Post, "It was important that she put on some weight. I said, 'I want you fat. I want your butt jiggling, I want your thighs moving.' She put on 15 pounds."

But the actress' dedication to the part did not stop there -- Daniels also forced Kidman to tame her own locks and apply her own makeup in order to look less polished. He tells the New York Post, "I told Nicole, 'Look, I can't get some Hollywood makeup artist to do their Hollywood take on it. You have to do this yourself.' I thought she was gonna quit because she was so shocked."

The Denver Broncos quietly restructured the contract of quarterback Peyton Manning earlier this week, and while it doesn't change any of the numbers in Manning's deal with Denver, the team added an insurance clause into the contract incase Manning for some reason does not play on the team during the 2014 season.
"It has no effect on the financial aspects of Peyton's contract, and it was expected once the guarantee came into play," said Manning's agent Tom Condon. "They'd certainly want to protect themselves in case of injury."
Retirement is also something that is in the back of Denver's mind, but Manning's neck is still clearly vulnerable and the team is taking no chances, even after his amazing comeback season in 2012. The way his old contract was structured, Manning's 2013 and 2014 salary became fully guaranteed since he was on roster at the start of the league year back in March.
By restructuring the deal, Denver would only have to pay Manning for 2013 if something dramatic happened to him. He's currently signed through the 2016 season in Denver, but the final two seasons are voidable if the Broncos cut Manning lose. The restructuring of the deal now protects Denver an extra season since now 2014 is covered as well.
Manning has been injury free since missing all of the 2011 season with the Indianapolis Colts and put together one of his finest seasons to date in 2012. Denver made a slew of free agent signings this offseason to boost the team, chief among them being the addition of former New England Patriots speedster Wes Welker.

Spinneys started trading in Dubai in 1961 and opened its first supermarket in 1962 in Deira, today better known as Al Nasr Square.

Ling's career spans the globe as she searches for perspective in human drama
Thursday, November 29, 2012
"Travel if you can. See the world while you're young. It's a game changer."
The third speaker in Lesley University's Boston Speakers Series, Lisa Ling has spent a career traveling the world, and challenging her perspective - and her viewers - through the human stories in and around world events.
Ling is currently executive producer and host of Our America with Lisa Ling on OWN: the Oprah Winfrey Network, and began as a correspondent for Channel One News where she covered the civil war in Afghanistan at the age of 21.
She recalled images landing at the airport, seeing young boys wielding weapons "bigger than they were." She told of traveling to North Korea with a doctor performing cataract surgeries, and watching patients who'd lived with impaired vision for decades remove their bandages to thank a picture of "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il rather than the doctor who'd restored their vision. She traveled to China to explore the impacts of the "one child one family" edict that led to thousands of baby girls being abandoned or given up for adoption.
In recalling stories she's covered in America and across the globe, Ling addressed facing each issue knowing she was wearing "American style glasses," and finding the issues were never black and white. And sometimes the answers to hard questions were astonishingly simple.
In exploring China's "one child" policy, for example, giving up daughters in order to have a son was both painful and practical. "'If we have a daughter,' they said, she will marry and leave us,'" Ling said. "But if they had a son, he would marry and have children and stay with the family. The answer was so simple, and it was an example of needing to remove my 'American style glasses' to really see the story."
Ling's career has spanned the inaugural season of ABC's The View, which she left in order to return to international reporting, and roles as a correspondent for The Oprah Winfry Show, CNN's Planet in Peril series, and contributing editor for USA Today's USA Weekend magazine. Her current show, Our America with Lisa Ling, airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
She is the co-author of Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride: Rituals of Womanhood and Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home, which she penned with her sister, Laura.
