CHIPLEY � A man suspected of a recent crime spree in Mobile, Ala., died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Washington County on Friday night, according to reports.
CHIPLEY � A man suspected of a recent crime spree in Mobile, Ala., died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Washington County on Feb. 8, according to reports.
�I�d just gotten home Friday night and gotten my boots off and I was called back out,� said Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock. The incident occurred on Interstate 10, and the man died of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot, the sheriff said.
Washington County Sheriff�s Officers were advised that Parris Audwin Smith, 46, was armed and dangerous and wanted for a bank robbery, carjacking and robbery of a person in Mobile, Ala.
At just after 6 p.m., officers with Washington County Sheriff�s Office observed a vehicle matching the description of the 2005 Honda Accord that Smith was said to have been driving traveling east on Interstate 10 at approximately 70 mph.
The officers executed a traffic stop in which Smith complied and pulled into the emergency lane. Following the stop, the officer instructed Smith to exit the vehicle and while doing so, the officer observed Smith place a handgun to the right side of his head. Smith paused for a few seconds and then discharged the firearm, which struck Smith in the right side of his head and exited through the driver door window, according to a sheriff�s office report.
The officers approached Smith and secured the vehicle and firearm, at which time they observed Smith was still breathing.
Washington County EMS, who was on scene, administered aid and transported Smith to Northwest Florida Community Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Mobile Police said Smith robbed an elderly woman at gunpoint on Feb. 8, Then stole the woman�s 2005 Honda Accord, according to a report on Fox10tv.com.
Police said Smith broke into the elderly woman's home through a window.
The woman said she returned home just after 2 p.m. When she entered her house, Smith entered the kitchen where he robbed her at gunpoint and fled.
Police said Smith is also wanted in connection with a robbery at a BankTrust that happened Jan. 5 in Mobile, according to the report.
In 1999, Smith was sentenced to 15 years in prison and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse after he pleaded guilty to robbing a bank by force or violence in federal court. Smith stole $2,000 from a Compas Bank in Mobile on April 14, 1999, according to a report on blog.al.com.
Records show Smith, who is from Citronelle, Ala., has previously faced charges of burglary, trespass and receiving stolen property in Mobile County.
On Feb. 8, Washington County Sheriff�s Office received information in reference to a Honda Accord that had traveled through Walton and Holmes County at a high rate of speed.
Smith is currently at the Medical Examiner�s Office.

All cats tend to a
life-style of relative inactivity which is interrupted
primarily by the search for food. Cats often sleep 18 hours
a day and only stir to appease hunger. All cats by nature
are clean and generally need little training to use a litter
box. They are independent and quite self-sufficient yet are
companionable and loyal to their owners. Bobcats and Lynx,
when tamed and raised properly with a lot of human contact,
bond very strongly to people.
One question we are asked
quite often is what the difference is between Bobcat and
Lynx. Well, the Lynx is long and lanky with large "snowshoe"
paws. He has very light spots - hardly noticeable. He lives
at high altitudes and is rarely seen by man. The Bobcat, on
the other hand, is more recognizable as a cat. Ears are
tufted, like the Lynx, but he's quite spotted on the back
and belly. He ranges in color from honey orange to smoky
blue and his belly is white. This really makes the spots
stand out. Both Bobcat and Lynx have beards and in
temperament both are pretty laid back and quite loving when
raised with humans.
The Bitterroot Bobcat and
Lynx Kitten Health Guarantee
To the best of our knowledge, you are receiving a healthy
cat or kitten, free of internal and external parasites,
infectious disease or life-threatening congenital defects,
and up-to-date on required vaccinations. We provide a health
certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian after the
kitten is examined. We provide a copy of our diet and we
recommend that you follow this diet.
After two weeks of receipt of your healthy kitten our
liability ends. This is due to much misinformation and
improper treatment by veterinarians and new owners that do
not follow our directions and advice properly.
If the kitten should become ill during this two week period
you must contact Bitteroot Bobcat and Lynx immediately for
As always we will be happy to assist you with instructions
and advice on caring for and feeding your new addition
during all phases of your cat's development.

Manchester United, Real Madrid draw in Champions League
Cristiano Ronaldo scored with a spectacular header Wednesday as Real Madrid was held to a 1-1 home draw by Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League due to a dominant performance by visiting goalkeeper David de Gea.
After Danny Welbeck gave United the lead against the run of play with a header from a 20th-minute corner, Ronaldo rose high to meet Angel di Maria's swinging cross 10 minutes later for his 183rd goal for Madrid - and first against his former club.
Ronaldo's goal in the first leg at Santiago Bernabeu stadium allowed him to eclipse Francisco "Paco'' Gento to become Madrid's sixth most prolific scorer.
Read More: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2013/soccer/wires/02/13/2080.ap.soc.real.madrid.man.united.2nd.ld.writethru.831/index.html#ixzz2KpHtnLsY
LYTTLETON: Ronaldo keeps Madrid alive
"We began very strong and suddenly they scored and the match took on another form for us,'' Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said.
The result means Madrid is now unbeaten in 34 consecutive home matches (27 wins, seven draws) since a Copa del Rey loss to Barcelona on Jan. 18, 2012.
De Gea made several impressive saves, including a fingertip effort onto the post to deny Fabio Coentrao in the first half as well as holding a firmly struck bouncing shot from Sami Khedira after the break.
"Fortunately, David De Gea made some very good saves. He's been improving all season and he made an absolutely superb save there,'' United manager Alex Ferguson said of his oft-maligned goalkeeper's stop on Coentrao's attempt.
"The first half I was a bit disappointed by how deep we defended and gave Real a lot of opportunities for crosses and shots.''
The match had been built up as Mourinho against Ferguson and Ronaldo versus Robin van Persie, but the United striker failed to take advantage of several good opportunities. He struck the crossbar with a fierce right-footed strike and forced a save with a low drive late on, however a mishit volley that was cut out by Xabi Alonso as it neared the goal line proved to be his most glaring miss.
By contrast, Ronaldo was a constant menace without ever really threatening to cut loose. He sent several shots passed De Gea's posts and even landed a 35-meter free kick on the top of the goalkeeper's net.
"Manchester is a very strong team defensively and they created a few problems for us,'' Ronaldo said. "But we really needed to have scored one or two more goals.''
The last time these two teams met at the Bernabeu was in 2003 when Madrid emerged 3-1 winners. But it has been 11 years since Madrid played a knockout Champions League match without goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who was out because of a broken hand and replaced by Diego Lopez.
Mourinho also chose 19-year-old French center back Raphael Varane following his great performance against Barcelona in which he almost single-handedly rescued Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals that ended in a 1-1 draw.
First-choice center back Pepe was on the bench as has been recovering from surgery on his right ankle in early January. He came on late Saturday to take part in Madrid's 4-1 trouncing of Sevilla, a match in which midfielders Mesut Oezil, Alonso and Khedira were rested in anticipation of United's visit.
Ferguson opted to start Jonny Evans alongside Rio Ferdinand in defense with club captain Nemanja Vidic failing to even earn a place on the bench due to his recent lengthy layoff. Shinji Kagawa was also promoted but proved ineffectual against Madrid's bustling midfield and was replaced in the second half.
United's European campaigns in the previous two seasons have been ended by Spanish sides, going out in the Europa League to Althletic Bilbao last year and losing the Champions League final to Barcelona in 2011.
Madrid started the match looking sharp, with Khedira shooting wide from a second-minute pass by Ronaldo in his team's first attack. Two minutes later, Di Maria also shot wide and Coentrao sent the ball across De Gea's goalmouth after a probing run from left back.
United's defense looked more solid after the break, allowing the team to counter with Van Persie making a searching run that was only ended in the box by Varane's timely intercepting tackle.
Gonzalo Higuain came on for the anonymous Karim Benzema in the 60th, and a minute later De Gea stretched athletically to save with his right foot after Coentrao, sliding forward, connected with Khedira's pass.
The 39-year-old Ryan Giggs came on for Kagawa, making his 133rd appearance in the Champions League and steadying United by sitting deep to help soak up the pressure ahead of the second leg on March 5.
"They came here to defend well,'' Mourinho said. "They came here to not concede spaces and goals, and they did not play to win. But they know they have in attack very important players with great potential that out of nothing can create chances and score goals.''
Borussia Dortmund twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Shakhtar Donetsk in the other opening leg of a last-16 series on Wednesday.

"My father was a jeweler and I was highly inspired by him. I grew up watching him make amazing jewelry with his own hands and this really fascinated me."
"My father was a jeweler and I was highly inspired by him. I grew up watching him make amazing jewelry with his own hands and this really fascinated me.
"I come from the majestic city of Jaipur, the pink city. I had a joyful childhood with four sisters at home. We had so much fun and I, being the youngest of the four, was pampered and loved. We also have a brother who is the youngest of all, and he is a real sweetheart.
"School was fun. I had so much with my friends and never stopped yapping – so much that, during parent-teacher meetings, my teachers asked my mother what she fed me to give me so much energy to talk nonstop. But I was one of the brightest students in our whole class. Most of the time I was at the top of my class. I was very much interested in studying and wanted to sit for a competitive exam.
"There was another thing in life that interested me, and that was silver. Jaipur is a land of gems and the silversmith art is highly practiced in this city. Many jewelers belong to silversmith families who have inherited the craft from their ancestors. However, for my father, it was a passion that arose within him and, though he never technically learned the art from anyone, he was an expert in this field. And one day, I do wish to inherit this quality from my father.
"I did my post graduation in accountant business statics, which I completed a year after I got married. Luckily for me, my husband was already a jewelry craftsman and this was a turning point for me. I haven't been designing very long, and I hope Novica will help us realize our dream."

A very talented flash/flex developer at http://merhl.com/webdevblog/ posted this demo of a Flex dashboard for retail and online stores. It tracks site members by month, products by collection, wishlist and referrals and top stores by state. See the dashboard screenshot below, but definitely go to the interactive demo so you can try out the various controls. I particularly like the actions within the charting element in the upper right. You can select a chart via a drop down control and also toggle the view from a chart to a table. The line graph has a slider control so that you can move along the time axis. What is also neat is how the various parts can be enlarged, reduced and dragged around.

Autosomal recessive diseases are
genetic diseases that are passed to a child through
both parents'
Each person inherits 23
chromosomes from each parent and so has 23 pairs of chromosomes. Each
chromosome contains

contain a changed (mutated) gene that could cause a genetic disease. In an
autosomal recessive disease, both chromosomes in a pair
must have a changed gene for the person to have the disease. If only one
chromosome has a changed gene, the person is a
carrier and does not have symptoms.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- For "Coco Avant Chanel" director Anne Fontaine, there was only one actress who could play Coco Chanel in her biopic about the legendary couturier -- French actress Audrey Tautou.
In "Coco Avant Chanel," French actress Audrey Tautou plays Coco Chanel, founder of the iconic Parisien haute couture house, Chanel.
Already uncannily similar in looks, Tautou's strong performance breathes life into Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, the fiery designer who would found iconic Parisian haute couture house, Chanel.
From the way she holds her cigarette to Coco's famously sharp gaze, Tautou is a dead-ringer for the young Coco.
"She is perfect for the part," Fontaine told CNN. "She has this determination and authority."
"Coco" charts the couturier's early life -- an almost fairytale journey from orphaned cabaret performer in Moulins to the 20th Century's foremost fashion designer.
Fontaine, who also wrote the script for "Coco," says the film would have been impossible without Tautou: "For me, it was the beginning of the story to have a good interpretation of Coco -- if not, I wouldn't have written the script."
But, while Tautou's unmistakable similarity to Coco Chanel made her an obvious choice for the role, the striking actress says she wasn't interested in doing a "birth to death" biopic of the designer.
"It seemed to me that the period when Coco was building herself and asserting her personality is the most interesting in her life," says Tautou who rose to international prominence in quirky 2001 drama, "Amelie."
It was Fontaine's vision that finally convinced the 32 year-old actress to take on the role: "When Anne explained how she intended to treat the subject, I immediately agreed," Tautou told CNN.
"She knew she was predestined for this role," says Fontaine. "She has this 'little black bull' side to her, a grace, finesse, and an irrefutable charisma."
"Coco" focuses on the years Chanel spent living with wealthy socialite, Etienne Balsan. Balsan, played brilliantly by Benoit Poelvoorde, introduces her to the Parisian high society and fashion -- lavishness the wide-eyed Chanel rapidly acclimatized to.
"Chanel looked at everything. Her culture was not one of knowledge, but a culture of observations," says Fontaine.
It was during this time Coco's own style and creativity began to blossom -- partly in disgust at the unnecessary extravagance of upper-class style during the gaudy years of the late Belle Epoque in France.
Designers of the time projected their image of the ideal woman onto the corsets and elaborate hats they created for them to wear. Coco rejected that ideal, opting to build a style based solely on herself, liberating the female body from the constricting style of the time.
"She's the beginning of the modern woman," said Fontaine.
Unlike other recent film forays into the fashion world, "Coco Before Chanel" is less about the clothes and accessories and more about the intellectual and philosophical evolution of one of fashion's greatest minds.
"Coco" stops short of telling the story of Chanel's darker years in Nazi-occupied Paris during WW2, when she took up residence at the Ritz Hotel and was criticized for her affair with Hans Gunther von Dincklage, a Nazi officer.
It is one of two films about the iconic couturier's early life this year. The other, "Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky," a lavish, part-fact, part-fiction portrayal of Chanel's brief affair with the avant garde composer directed by Dutch-born Jan Kounen was the closing night film at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Highlights from the French film talent at this year's Cannes Film Festival »
Fontaine also had to add an element of fiction to her telling of Chanel's early years, taking liberties with the script to get some of Chanel's most iconic designs into the film.
The blue-striped mariner's sweater Tautou wears in one scene didn't actually come into being until the 1930s, and the quilted sewing pouch, which in the film, prompts the idea for Chanel's world-famous bag was not the true inspiration.
Fontaine also includes the death of Chanel's great love, the British industrialist Boy Capel (played by Alessandro Nivola), which took place in the years after those shown in the film, because of the huge impact his death had on the designer.
"It was the most important love of her whole life," the 49 year-old Luxembourg-born director told CNN. "When he's dead, when he disappears, something breaks and she only has the work."
That Chanel never married has been attributed to her heartbreak over Capel's tragic death in a car accident. Indeed, Coco herself once said, "I lost everything with the loss of Capel."
Tautou's portrayal of Chanel's broken heart in the scenes around Capel's death may be her finest. It is almost as if the actress becomes the young Coco Chanel.
"The portrayal was not in the costume, not in the superficial side of the character, but in [my] inner self," says Tautou. "In the last part [of the film], I was completely her."
Fontaine and Tautou both acknowledge the biggest challenge of making "Coco Before Chanel" was doing justice to one of the most well-known and influential women of the 20th Century.
"The most difficult thing when you speak about somebody who's so known, so legendary, is to be true to her," said Fontaine.
"Coco Avant Chanel" is in UK cinemas from 31 July 2009.

Brush fire scorches 150 acres near Osteen
Blaze burns at Lake Ashby Park
A large brush fire sent firefighters to Lake Ashby Park in Volusia County.
Investigators said the fire ignited Saturday afternoon and scorched 150 acres, damaging two vehicles and a pole barn in the area.
Officials said no homes had to be evacuated, but authorities believe it may have started near some homes in the area.
"It started close to homes, but that's as much as I know. We'll have investigators come in (Sunday) in the daylight to take a look at it to see where it started and try to get an idea of what caused it. (They'll) interview people in the area and kind of work it from that standpoint," Volusia County Fire Battalion Cmdr. Rusty Case said.
Fifty firefighters, including Volusia, Seminole and the Florida Forest Service, worked the blaze, and no one was injured nor were any animals in danger.
Crews will monitor the area overnight because of concerns about heavy smoke and poor visibility on the roads.

A study of electronic patient records, funded by the Wellcome Trust, suggests that older women with suspected ovarian cancer may be referred by their GPs for investigation later than younger women.
Researchers at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School studied records from the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) and compared recorded diagnoses of ovarian cancer against rates in the UK cancer registries to see whether there was a difference in how older patients are managed by their GP. The results are published today in the British Journal of Cancer.
The researchers found that during the period 2002-06, GPs were less likely to refer patients for gynaecological investigation when they were older. 82% of women under the age of fifty-five years had received at least one relevant investigation in the year before their diagnosis; this figure fell to 75% for women aged between fifty-five and sixty-nine years, and 66% for women aged over seventy years.
GPs were also found to be slower to refer elderly patients than their middle-aged counterparts. Women aged between forty-five and sixty-nine years tended to be referred for gynaecological investigation within ten weeks of presenting to their GP with their first symptom. This figure steadily increases, peaking at twenty weeks for women aged seventy-five to seventy-nine years.
"Ovarian cancer is a relatively rare disease but, as with all cancers, early diagnosis is important for improving the chances of successful treatment," says Dr Rosemary Tate, lead author of the study. "Our research suggests that age plays a role in how quickly diagnosis and referral occurs - the older the patient, the later this appears to happen.
"As we only looked at one type of cancer, we don't know if our results will generalise to other cancers. However, if this is the case, then such delays could be an important cause of avoidable illness and mortality, and could contribute to the lower survival rates and higher mortality rates experienced in the UK compared with other European countries."
Survival rates for cancer in the UK are amongst the lowest in Europe, particularly for older people (see note 1). Despite significant advances in cancer treatment, these developments seem not to be benefiting older people as much as they could. A comparison of data from the World Health Organization registry database suggests that there has been little or no improvement in cancer mortality rates for the UK elderly during the last decade (see note 2).
The researchers also found that the rates of recorded diagnoses of ovarian cancer in the GPRD were lower than those recorded in UK cancer registries for all age groups. However, these differences were much larger for patients over sixty; for example, for women aged forty-five to fifty, the difference was only 5% as compared with 22% for those between seventy-five and eighty.
The researchers stress that the reasons for the discrepancy between the GP database and the UK cancer registry are not clear, but may be explained in part by how and when data is recorded. Similarly, it may be possible that GPs are less motivated to record cancer diagnoses in older people if they have other serious illnesses, or to investigate them for other problems first.
"Electronic patient records provide a valuable opportunity for disease surveillance and for monitoring and improving," explains Professor Jackie Cassell. "It is important that we understand why there is a discrepancy between rates in the GP databases compared to cancer registries. This will help ensure that the information available to our health services is accurate and fit for purpose."
Sara Hiom, director of health information at Cancer Research UK, which owns the British Journal of Cancer, said: "Ovarian cancer symptoms can be vague and suggestive of other, less serious conditions. But it's important that the disease is diagnosed at the earliest possible stage, whether the patient is young or old, as it is then easier to treat and there is a better chance of survival. Ovarian cancer is more common in older women, with four out of five cases in women over 50, so it's concerning if these older women are indeed less likely to be investigated.
"All too often cancer is found at a late stage, which is why we're working with the Department of Health, NHS and others on the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative (NAEDI) to address this problem. These results reinforce the importance of NAEDI's work, which includes raising public awareness of cancer, promoting earlier presentation and supporting doctors with the most up-to-date evidence and decision support."

Geisha A-Go-Go: Katy Perry's AMAs Performance Stirs Debate
These were the American Music Awards, never the high point of televised trophy-tossing tastefulness to begin with. But as the Cirque du Sayonara spectacle of Katy Perry's opening number unfurled, my jaw slowly dropped until it nearly rested against my collarbone.
There was Perry, in full kimono, tabi socks, lacquered hair and geiko pancake, belting out her latest smash hit. Her traditional outfit had been tightened at the bust with a triangular cutout designed to accentuate rather than flatten her generous bosom, and the sides cut to the waist to expose her pearlescent American legs. And she was surrounded by a throng of acrobatic maiko, their faces rollered with fat streaks of kabuki makeup, who provided energetic fan-flapping as backup — at least until they started flying and somersaulting through the air.
In short, this was a a full-barreled technicolor assault on a quarter-millennium-old set of traditions that would've given any self-respecting denizen of Kyoto's Gion District a massive fatal heart attack. But Perry's whiteface/yellowface performance was also a harsh reminder of how deeply anchored the archetype of the exotic, self-sacrificing "lotus blossom" is in the Western imagination.
You see, Perry's new single is called "Unconditionally," and unlike her usual anthems to sassy pubescence, it's a song that's basically about being a doormat for the very special loutish Englishman in your life:
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally
So come just as you are to me
Don't need apologies
Know that you are all worthy
I'll take your bad days with your good
Walk through the storm I would
I do it all because I love you
I love you l love you
The juxtaposition of the song's meaning and Perry's geisha drag were hardly accidental: She's invoking the iconic image of Cio-Cio-San, the titular "butterfly" from Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly — a young Japanese girl who takes a Western lover, is abandoned by him, and commits suicide upon discovering his betrayal.
One could interpret "Unconditionally" as Perry's declaration of unremitting love for her ex-husband Russell Brand. And while Perry is too much of a roaring, tiger-eyed champion to go the way of Cio-Cio, the performance last night clearly was meant to use Madama Butterfly's tired orientalist imagery as an ironic statement on her broken marriage.
A representative for Perry didn't return a request for comment.
The thing is, while a bucket of toner can strip the geisha makeup off of Perry's face, nothing can remove the demeaning and harmful iconography of the lotus blossom from the West's perception of Asian women — a stereotype that presents them as servile, passive, and as Perry would have it, "unconditional" worshippers of their men, willing to pay any price and weather any kind of abuse in order to keep him happy.
The recent, hugely successful revivals of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil's Broadway hit Miss Saigon — a florid modernization of Madama Butterfly set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War — are a sign of just how appealing this image of Asian womanhood remains, even today. For Asian Americans who've seen and experienced the corrosive consequences of the lotus blossom stereotype, the blithe acceptance of Miss Saigon's ugly underlying themes in the pursuit of entertainment (and profit) is hugely frustrating.
"Miss Saigon is a play about a Vietnamese prostitute in desperate need of rescue from evil Vietnamese men and the war-torn Third World," wrote poet Bao Phi, who organized the protests against the revival of the show that was staged in Minneapolis in October. "The Vietnamese woman shoots herself in the stomach so she can sing one last song while dying in the arms of the white man. When I was much, much younger, I ask my mom if she wants to go see this play, because it's about Vietnam. She shakes her head and says, in Vietnamese, 'that is not about us.' She says it like she's explaining to me that Santa Claus doesn't really exist."
Phi might as well have been shouting at the helicopter that descends on stage during the show's noisy climax. The Minneapolis revival was a success, and it will continue on to three additional cities; the play has also been staged separately in Houston and Washington, D.C., and a major revival on London's West End has already broken all box office records, selling $6.9 million in tickets in a single day — over twice the record set by "The Book of Mormon" in March of this year.
To be clear: The issue Phi and other activists have with Miss Saigon isn't the character of Kim, the play's Cio-Cio-San analogue. Yes, she's a prostitute, yes, she falls in love with and is betrayed by a Western soldier, yes, she kills herself. But, per Phi, "I have no problem with stories about prostitutes, if they are written by prostitutes wanting to tell their story."
The problem with Miss Saigon, and with Madama Butterfly, and yes, with Katy Perry's "Unconditionally" performance, is fundamentally that they are all confabulations of Asia invented by non-Asian people, with little concern for cultural legitimacy and no attempt to offer historical context. And because there are so few authentically told stories with the size and dazzle of these, such spectacles have evolved into a kind of truth — imagined truth — and the fictional, fantastical "facts" embedded within them have become mashed up with reality.
Indeed, you can find plenty of Asians, including Asian women, who adore Miss Saigon and who call Madama Butterfly an epic romance. When I've talked to them, they all say variations of the same thing: Setting aside the tawdry exploitative aspects of these stories, what more beautiful way is there to express your love than dying for your lover?
My response is usually, "How about living for your lover?," which draws a politely dismissive chuckle. That's because the mundane "truthful" truths of living with someone and dealing with their morning breath and toilet seat infractions and snoring and tooth-grinding isn't glamorous, in the manner of a knife to the throat or a bullet to the gut. And so these bigger-than-life stories about death live on.
There is the possibility that Miss Saigon could return to Broadway, given its huge opening in London. And just in case you can't make it to the aptly named Great White Way, last year, producer Cameron Mackintosh told Hugh Jackman that if the "Les Miserables" movie was a hit, he'd invest in making a Miss Saigon movie. Presumably, the adaptation's helicopter is getting fueled up as we speak.
Here's an idea, Cameron: Why not just cast Katy Perry as your sliver-screen Kim? She obviously can play Asian, and it might just save us all a lot of time in the long run.
My friends at the blog Disgrasian point out that this isn't even the first time Perry has adopted a fauxriental look for an awards show — although it's the first time she's taken it to the stage. In 2011, she attended the MTV Video Music Awards carrying a parasol and dressed in an Atelier Versace cheongsam mini. She followed that up by wearing a Chinese calligraphy-printed Vivienne Westwood outfit to the American Music Awards. Despite the fact that outfits were Chinese and not Japanese in inspiration, they led to widespread oohs and ahhs from bloggers and the entertainment press questioning whether Perry was "interested in becoming a geisha."
In the wake of last night's showpiece, Jen Wang of Disgrasian threw cold water on that idea. "It's just wish fulfillment," she says. "Geishas are supposed to be skilled in music and dance, so Katy Perry would never actually be able to cut it." Ouch!
Update: As part of a marketing partnership, the AMAs and Samsung Mobile tweeted this exclusive picture of Katy Perry backstage, prior to her geisha-a-go-go performance, scrawled with the line "I THINK I'M TURNING AMA" — a reference to the British band The Vapors' 1980 song "Turning Japanese." Do the AMAs and Samsung not realize that some people view the subject of that song as a racist metaphor for masturbation?

Earlier this month, I spoke at the inaugural South by Southwest Eco. I began by mentioning my former career on Wall Street-a topic unlikely to win me many fans.
Then why bring it up?
The theme of my speech was broadening support for conservation by crossing boundaries --talking about nature differently and reaching beyond the usual suspects of those we ordinarily work with.
A little over three years ago, I crossed a personal boundary, leaving my career as an investment banker to follow my passion for protecting nature.
And as head of The Nature Conservancy, I am now committed to helping the conservation movement cross boundaries, reaching out to everyone from businesses to kids to demonstrate why protecting nature is in their best interest.
Take our collaboration with Dow Chemical, for example. The Nature Conservancy is working with Dow to determine how the company's operations rely on and affect nature. Dow's factories are enormously dependent on water supply. They also depend on mangroves and other natural systems to provide buffer from coastal storms. Our goal is to create tools and methods other companies can test and apply.
Some critics ask why we would work with companies that have a big environmental footprint. I say, why wouldn't we? In my view, it would be irresponsible of us to shy away from the opportunity to guide companies whose decisions affect the places we want to conserve.
Are partnerships with companies a panacea? No.
Are there risks to engaging businesses? Of course.
But change is not possible without risk.
And change is critical given the great challenges we are up against. By 2050, the world's population is expected to reach 9 billion people. Soaring demands for food, water and energy put enormous pressure on the natural systems we seek to protect. And climate change will only multiply existing problems.
Solving these challenges will require new ways of thinking. It will require reaching beyond our core supporters. And it will require a shift in thinking, from "Isn't nature wonderful?" to "Isn't nature valuable?"
Specifically, we need to talk much more about the benefits nature provides to people -- clean air, healthy soil, fresh water, coastal buffers from storms.
This notion of "natural capital" is not new. In 2005, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment concluded that these services are in sharp and worrisome decline.
What's exciting is that environmental organizations around the world are turning this concept into reality. We are crossing boundaries to put these ideas into practice, connecting the value of nature to a broader audience.
Last year in Iowa, for example, a coalition of conservationists, sportsmen, farmers, community leaders and businesses banded together to support a constitutional amendment that will direct $150 million per year of the next sales tax increase toward wetlands restoration, water quality programs and other projects that will help prevent and reduce impacts from flooding.
We had our work cut out for us, campaigning in a conservative state, during a deep recession and facing a tough political climate. But the amendment passed with more than two-thirds of the vote.
Voters understood that their lives and livelihoods, including Iowa's $21 billion agriculture industry, are closely linked to clean and productive water systems.
Finally, all of our efforts will be wasted if we don't foster the next generation of conservationists.
Only about 10 percent of today's kids say they spend time outdoors every day. Meanwhile, the vast majority uses a computer, watches TV, or plays video games on a daily basis. This growing disconnect with nature threatens kids' physical and emotional well-being. It also makes them less likely to care about environmental issues.
But it's not all bad news. A recent study found that when youth are given more opportunities to have a meaningful experience outdoors, they will be more likely to value nature, engage with it and feel empowered to do something about it.
One initiative my organization has launched to address this problem is called Leaders in Environmental Action for the Future (LEAF). The program matches urban high school students with summer internships on nature preserves across the country. Programs like this are key to closing the gap between nature and people -- especially among urban and youth audiences -- and building tomorrow's conservation leaders.
Environmental organizations need new strategies like these to deal with the difficult challenges ahead. That's not to say that other strategies don't have their place. Is our work helped by more confrontational organizations that challenge businesses and governments? Yes. Are there times when different approaches will be more effective? Of course. The more strategies the better. We're all on the same team.
As South by Southwest has proven in the areas of technology and music, the best new thinking and creative ideas often emerge when we cross boundaries to seek out new relationships and ideas. We will never achieve our mission by talking to ourselves. We have to reach out to all sectors of society -- from businesses to farmers to children -- to demonstrate the value of nature to our lives.

Time for a new release. Here's what we changed/added/fixed
- Tons of fixes for issues on the tracker, have a look yourself.
- Fixes and additions to the UI framework
- And all new build system that allows us to more easily integrate new extensions and backends.
- Big performance improvements for OpenGL ES 2.0 by using vertex arrays instead of VBOs for SpriteBatch and friends.
- Lifted the memory limit for native resources, see here.
- Non-continuous rendering support
- PixmapPacker, pack your images to a TextureAtlas at runtime.
- An entire new backend allowing you to target native HTML5 via GWT.
- Support for local files.
- gdx-stb-truetype, a wrapper around stb-truetype to generate BitmapFonts from Unicode characters. Sadly its visual quality is not to good for small font sizes
- gdx-jnigen, a tool that let's you embed your JNI code in your Java files and helps you generate ant scripts to build the code for multiple platforms. All of libgdx's native code has been converted to use this tool.
- gdx-audio, wraps libmpg123 and tremor to help you decode mp3 and ogg files to plain PCM samples, wraps SoundTouch to allow you to pitch shift and timestretch your PCM samples, wraps kissfft to give you the frequency domain of a signal.
- gdx-freetype, wraps FreeType and allows you to generate BitmapFonts on the fly from common TTF files.
There's currently work being done on a Bullet Physics wrapper (gdx-bullet) and libjpeg/libpng/libgif wrapper (gdx-image). The Bullet Physics wrapper seems to be mostly complete but needs extensive testing. The image library wrapper is in it's infancy, only libjpeg works for now. Both are packaged in the release for you to test them out if you wish.
We also created a few new ways to make libgdx project setup a lot easier. Check out this new Wiki page. Massive thanks to Aurelien Ribon for writting this fancy thing. I'll add some screenshots to the article and will most likely replace the old introduction videos.
We also recognize the need for mavenization (edit: meaning everyone but Nate). We can now push artifacts to central, and as soon as i get the time, i'll try to set things up so that happens automagically. Ruben and Arielsan of Gemserk kindly offered their help, so thanks for that as well.
I'll write an extensive post on the new GWT backend asap. I'm working full time again since monday, so please be patient 🙂

Field Methods
As data are collected in the field and different questions are being addressed, land managers need to be able to understand what sampling approaches are most appropriate to address each of their issues. Considering time and money constraints and the extent of most study areas, it is difficult to design an effective sampling protocol that is accurate and useful for various purposes. Although large plots gather high quality data for a local area, it may be difficult to determine landscape patterns. A greater quantity of smaller plots may increase our understanding of landscape patterns, but local scale patterns may be difficult to determine. In addition, single-scale sampling designs may not be cost effective, while multi-scale sampling designs are often too complex. Here, we provide a list of various plot types with links to additional information on their description, reasons for their use, and their basic methodology. These plots are also compatible with our field tools and can be directly uploaded into the NIISS database. These include:
As we all know, field sampling methods can be difficult to carry out because they are often conducted under adverse weather conditions. Over the years, our field crews have learned a few tricks that may prove helpful to other field ecologists. In particular, we have learned cheap and easy ways to build typical vegetation sampling frames and offer these veg frame constructions tips. We have also developed some plant collecting techniques through trial and error that may prove useful in the field Please feel free to email our webmaster with any other tips you may have!

It's exciting when the third-largest consumer goods company in the world and one that has a serious focus on Africa and on sustainability calls for assistance. They put it like this
We're looking for new designs and technologies that help us improve the way we make our products. There are a series of challenges which we're already working on, and where we'd like to work together with partners. We call these our 'wants'.
These wants, such as preserving foods naturally, better packaging, sustainable washing and natural red colourants are listed on the webpage along with a link for potential suppliers to develop their ideas.
I believe this is really worth following up, it might lead to a relationship where your science backed by local knowledge are of great benefit to Unilever.

Program in the History of the Book in American Culture
AAS established the Program in the History of the Book in American Culture (PHBAC) in 1983 in order to focus its resources on promoting an emerging field of interdisciplinary inquiry. Through the Program, AAS draws not only on its traditional resources as a center of bibliographical research and as a matchless repository of early American printed materials, but also on recent intellectual currents that look at the history of books and other printed objects in their full economic, social, and cultural context.
A History of the Book in America
A significant goal of the Program is the publication of a five-volume, collaborative scholarly work, A History of the Book in America, which treats the subject from the early seventeenth century to our own times. An Editorial Board of distinguished scholars, chaired by David D. Hall, oversaw the series, which was published by AAS and University of North Carolina Press.
Volume 1, The Colonial Book in the Atlantic World, edited by Hugh Amory and David D. Hall, was published in 2000, and reissued in April 2007.
Volume 2, An Extensive Republic: Print, Culture, and Society in the New Nation, 1790-1840, edited by Mary Kelley and Robert A. Gross, was published in July 2010.
Volume 3, The Industrial Book, 1840-1880, edited by Scott E. Casper, Jeffrey D. Groves, Stepher W. Nissenbaum, and Michael Winship, was published in August 2007.
Volume 4, Print in Motion: The Expansion of Publishing and Reading in the United States, 1880-1940, edited by Carl F. Kaestle and Janice A. Radway, was published in January 2009.
Volume 5, The Enduring Book: Print Culture in Postwar America, edited by Joan Shelley Rubin, David Paul Nord and Michael Schudson, was published in September 2009.
Substantial funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities provided major support for the editorial work that inaugurated this important project.
Summer Seminars in the History of the Book
In providing intellectual leadership of this field, the Program has sponsored conferences, publications, seminars, and research fellowships. A summer seminar in the history of the book, offering short-term, intensive training in methodologies and concepts, was initiated in 1985. These annual seminars have been successful in assembling a stimulating range of persons as both faculty and matriculants and putting them in touch with AAS library collections and, just as importantly, with each other. The seminars have in fact helped recruit a generation of scholars into the book history field.
Previous Summer Seminars in the History of the Book
A conference that included European scholars was held in 1984, and resulted in the publication of Needs and Opportunities in the History of the Book: America, 1639-1876. An earlier conference in 1980 resulted in the publication of Printing and Society in Early America, a collection of original essays, some of which have since become widely cited. More recent conferences have focused on teaching the history of the book and on the iconography of the book.
Wiggins Lectures
The annual series of James Russell Wiggins Lectures in the History of the Book in American Culture, inaugurated in 1983, has brought forth important conceptual statements by leading scholars in different disciplines touching on the field. The lectureship honors James Russell Wiggins, former editor of the Washington Post, former United States ambassador to the United Nations, and editor of the Ellsworth (Maine) American until his death on November 19, 2000, at the age of 96.

Alan92181 brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 34 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Square Foot Gardening
We are a gardening company. We created the square foot gardening method and our goal as a company is three fold:
1. Help people grow their own food, thus avoiding recalls, pesticides and getting the best tasting food.
2.Make money from their gardens and end world hunger. We teach people how to make a nice part time income growing and selling cash gardens.
3. Our ultimate goal is to end world hunger. We sponsor projects all over the world helping people grow their own food. We teach that we should not be sending food to 3rd world countries. That makes them reliant on us. We should be teaching them how to grow their own food in small, simple ways, that way they can become self sufficient.
We have been in business for several years and are planing on going national in the next year or two.
We specifically target non-gardeners. 3 types.
1. Those who have never gardened because they think it's either too hard.
2. Those who think its too expensive.
3. Those who think it's too much work(with our gardens, you don't have any weeds to pull!)
4. Those who would like to garden, but don't know how.
Our primary demographic is mom's between the ages of 24-35. They want to feed their families more wholesome food, but buying organic is too expensive for them. We want our audience to see us not as some huge bureaucratic corporation, but as a down to earth company that focuses on the average person. We need a fresh new logo that shows us as a progressive, forward looking company.
Our goal is to end world hunger and we want our image to reflect that. When people see the logo of the red cross or habitat for humanity, they think of helping people. We want others to see us that way too. We need our logo to be simple, yet effective. I have attached our current logo plus two images. The current logo is currently in dispute with our publisher, so we need something that looks very different. It cannot have the same colors, font or style.
The second image is Mel Bartholomew, the creator of the system. His hat is iconic for the system, so if the logo could include a hat like his, that would be great(not required). Our system also deals with Square foot Gardens which are small raised bed gardens that work on 12"x12" squares. (hence our current logo) If there was a way to add the system somehow in the logo without it looking like our current logo, that would be great as well.
An image that shows us as a company that focuses on helping others. Square Foot Gardens are specifically vegetable gardens. We focus on helping people growing their own food. We want people to think of growing your own food, of being organic, when they look at our logo. The 3rd image is one of our boxes. This is just for reference of what our products look like. any questions, email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Software contains faults. The question is how to cost-effectively reduce the number of faults. One approach that gained traction and then fell out of favor was N-version programming. The basic idea is simple: have developer teams implement a specification independent from one another. Then we can execute the programs concurrently and compare their results. If we have, say, three separate programs, we vote their results, and if one result disagrees with the others, we presume that program contained a software bug.
N-version programming rests on the assumption that software bugs in independently-implemented programs are random, statistically-uncorrelated events. Otherwise, multiple versions are not effective at detecting errors if the different versions are likely to suffer the same errors.
John Knight and Nancy Leveson famously debunked this assumption on which N-version programming rested in the "Knight-Leveson experiment" they published in 1986. In 1990, Knight and Leveson published a brief summary of the original experiment, as well as responses to subsequent criticisms made about it, in their paper, A Reply to the Criticisms of the Knight & Leveson Experiment.
The problem with N-version programming is subtle: it's not that it provides zero improvement in reliability but that it provides significantly less improvement than is needed to make it cost-effective compared to other kinds of fault-tolerance (like architecture-level fault-tolerance). The problem is that even small probabilities of correlated faults lead to significant reductions in potential reliability improvements.
Lui Sha has a more recent (2001) IEEE Software article discussing N-version programming, taking into account that the software development cycle is finite: is it better to spend all your time and money on one reliable implementation or on three implementations that'll be voted at runtime? His answer is almost always the former (even if we assume uncorrelated faults!).
But rather than N-versions of the same program, what about different programs compared at runtime? That's the basic idea of runtime monitoring. In runtime monitoring, one program is the implementation and another is the specification; the implementation is checked against the specification at runtime. This is easier than checking before runtime (in which case you'd have to mathematically prove every possible execution satisfies the specification). As Sha points out in his article, the specification can be slow and simple. He gives the example of using the very simple Bubblesort as the runtime specification of the more complex Quicksort: if the Quicksort does its job correctly (in O(n log n), assuming a good pivot element), then checking its output (i.e., a hopefully properly sorted list) with Bubblesort will only take linear time (despite Bubble sort taking O(n2) in general).
The simple idea of simple monitors fascinates me. Of course, Bubblesort is not a full specification, though. Although Sha doesn't suggest it, we'd probably like our monitor to compare the lengths of the input and output lists to ensure that the Quicksort implementation didn't remove elements. And there's still the possibility that the Quicksort implementation modifies elements, which is also unchecked by a Bubblesort monitor.
But instead of just checking the output, we could sort the same input with both Quickcheck and Bubblesort and compare the results. This is a "stronger" check insofar as different sorts would have to have exactly the same faults (e.g., not sorting, removing elements, changing elements) for an error not to be caught. The principal drawback is the latency of the slower Bubblesort check as compared to Quicksort. But sometimes, it may be ok to signal an error (shortly) after a result is provided.
Just like for N-version programming, we would like the faults in our monitor to be statistically uncorrelated with those in the monitored software. I am left wondering about the following questions:
- Is there research comparing the kinds of programming errors made in radically different paradigms, such as a Haskell and C? Are there any faults we can claim are statistically uncorrelated?
- Runtime monitoring itself is predicated on the belief that the implementations of different programs will fail in statistically independent ways, just like N-version programming is. While more plausible, does this assumption hold?

OpenBuildService RPMS
Under http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/homueller:/citadel/ you can find our new RPMs. Feel free to try them out and provide feedback in the 'citadel support'-room on Uncensored.
Right now we support the following distributions:
- openSUSE 12.2, 12.3, tumbleweed, factory
- fedora 17, 18
- Mandriva 2010, 2010.1, 2011
- CentOS 5, 6
Use this link to install: Citadel
Use this link to install: Webcit
All other packages for reference:
citadel-client | citadel-doc | citadel-lang | citadel-mta | Citadel-SElinux | libcares2 | libcitadel3 | libev | libical | libsieve1 | webcit-lang | webcit-theme-blue-castle | perl Net::Citadel
What to do after package installation?
Check if the citadel service is running by executing 'service citadel status'. If it is not running, then you'll start it with 'service citadel start'.
Then you can execute '/usr/sbin/citadel-setup' to initialize the database and set the administrator user and his password. I suggest to keep the default values unless you know what you are doing (exception: don't let citadel-setup create/change the init/rc scripts).
After setup has finished, adjust the settings in /etc/sysconfig/citadel and /etc/sysconfig/webcit to your needs. The changes will take effect after you restarted citadel and/or webcit (service [citadel|webcit|webcits] restart).
If something doesn't work as expected, then take a look into citadel's logfile /var/log/citadel.log (default with rsyslog) or /var/log/mail. Webcit will log to /var/log/webcit/* (default with rsyslog).
Please note that Citadel only supports systemd on recent fedora, openSUSE and Mandriva. Therefore starting and stopping the services may be a little bit different (e.g. systemctl citadel.service start).

Dr Gavin Sandercoe necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 127 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
Norwest Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Dr Gavin Sandercoe is launching a business in the Norwest market that will provide plastic surgery consultation and services. The services offered will range from basic cosmetic treatments such as Botox through to more complex procedures such as breast augmentation. A visual identity needs to be created to suit this new brand.
Key Insights
Dr Sandercoe is one of only a small number of Australian doctors to have been specifically trained as a plastic surgeon - he is qualified to undertake complex reconstructions, and has significant experience and expertise in this field.
The brand created needs to be mindful of this, as it is likely to feature as a key message in Dr Sandercoe's marketing. It also needs to cater for services that may be positioned quite differently in the consumer's mind. Botox and laser treatments, for example. The brand needs to hold sufficient gravitas and sophistication to support the delivery of serious medical services, but also be appealing and humanistic, in order to be effective in a promotional context for cosmetic treatments.
Establish a visual identity that will support recognition and differentiation for a newly created brand in a seemingly homogenous market.
Primarily female, the target audience is likely to have an older skew, particularly for surgical procedures. Many patients are well informed, some are upstamping from cosmetic procedures (eg Botox) to surgery (eg facelift). Some of the market is price sensitive. Information gathering and research, particularly on the internet, form a key step in the decision making process when selecting a medical provider.
In all cases, trust is a key part of the equation. The consumer wants to be sure that nothing will go wrong – and if something does go awry, that the surgeon is sufficiently qualified and experienced to rectify the problem.
Consumers often find it difficult to distinguish between plastic surgeons. The medical industry has traditionally lacked sophistication when it comes to marketing its services. Competitors, even in the plastic surgery arena where image is crucial, are generally not adopting a finely honed approach to creating their own identities. The visual identity of the brand will play a critical role in distinguishing Dr Sandercoe's services in the market.
Brand Positioning
Quality. Trust. Peace of Mind. Professional. Beautiful. Substantial.
A premium brand, but accessible.
Classic, elegant, and sophisticated but not fussy or old fashioned.
Contemporary and progressive - using the latest tools and techniques, but not risk taking.
Relevant and appealing
This brand is the Audi of the car industry. It's not about top of the line prestige or performance, it's not 'look at me' – it's about quality.
If it were to be applied to another industry vertical, it would be translatable to a boutique hotel. It is not frivolous, it's not a day spa, it's not pink, it's not sexual. It's also not severe or clinical.
The logo needs to feel balanced and cohesive.
It should be versatile in its application, and translate to different media and environments.
It should combine elements of classic sophistication, but feel contemporary and relevant.
A reference set of logos has been provided to provide examples of logo designs that may be useful touchpoints in developing the visual ID, and in illustrating range.
Ideally a visual motif or icon will be incorporated with the logo. It doesn't need to be literal in its interpretation. A human form or a flower, for example, are possible directions, but equally a stylised raindrop or curlicue could be appropriate.
The colour palette recommended should support a sense of refinement, elegance, and style.
The initial concept will be for the logo only, but the design will be extended to suit a range of media and usage, including :
Business cards and stationery
Interior design
Internal and external signage
