Phil Odence is Co-chair of the FOSSBazaar SPDX Working Group and vice president of Black Duck Software.
The debate about the increasing role of open source in the software community is over. A large and growing pool of applications is available under open source licenses, but open source code is most pervasive in components embedded in almost any application developed today. Superimpose that on the overall ubiquity of software in products from cars to handsets to power plants and it becomes clear that open source code is being channeled through countless supply chains in almost every industry.
Companies at all points in the supply chain are becoming conscious of the need to treat open source just like any other third-party code. They need to know and document the components in the products and software they are consuming and distributing for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is to make sure they understand their legal obligations. Thus the need for a common approach to sharing information about software packages and their related content has never been greater. Breaking down information silos is still a work in progress. Fortunately a new working group is tackling one of the toughest obstacles to sharing information about software packages -- collaborating on discovering and sharing information about software packages and their related content, including licenses.
Do the Right Thing
Software license proliferation -- there are nearly 2000 software licenses for software freely available on the Internet -- is a major headache for software development organizations that want to speed development with software component re-use as well as for companies redistributing software packages as part of their products. Scope is one problem: from the Free Beer license to the GPL family of licenses to platform-specific licenses such as Apache and Eclipse, the sheer number and variety of licenses makes it difficult for companies to "do the right thing" with respect to the software components in their products and applications.
Each license carries within it the author's definition of how the software can be used and re-used. Permissive licenses like BSD and MIT make it easy; software can be redistributed and developers can modify code without the requirement of making changes publicly available. Reciprocal licenses, on the other hand, place varying restrictions on re-use and redistribution. Woe to the developer who snags a bit of code after a simple web search without understanding the ramifications of license restrictions.
License Compliance: A First Step to Doing the Right Thing
While most companies want to do the right thing with regard to license compliance when re-using code components, the lack of a clear set of software package data exchange standards complicates matters. Many approaches to ensuring license compliance exist -- from hand-crafted spreadsheets to free software options like FOSSology, to enterprise-class applications such as the Black Duck Suite -- yet an overarching standard for software package data exchange has been elusive. Suppliers, if they are cataloging the data at all, have their own formats and conventions. Corporate consumers are increasingly asking for this information, but again, there seem to be as many formats as askers.
That situation is changing, however, thanks to the efforts of the Linux Foundation's FOSSBazaar Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) Working Group. The grass-roots effort includes representatives from more than 20 organizations -- software, systems and tool vendors, foundations and systems integrators -- all committed to creating a standard for software package data exchange formats.
Really, Though; Who Cares About Software Package Data Exchange Formats?
It's not just software development managers and lawyers who care about having a standardized approach to software license compliance. Any corporation that uses and/or distributes software packages has a stake in the outcome. IT managers care; software development managers who want to know what's in the code their developers are writing care, and executives at companies buying software packages care. And software development organizations care -- especially distributed, global development teams who collaborate and need visibility into licenses and their obligations. Some if this interest is being driven by more and more companies demanding that suppliers provide them with a Bill of Materials that states clearly which software components are in a specific package, and which licenses are represented. Simply saying your company is doing the right thing is not enough: Savvy users want proof to limit the risk of non-compliance with licenses.
Because there are so many stakeholders, the SPDX Working Group has formulated a straightforward charter:
Create a set of data exchange standards to enable companies and organizations to share license and component information (metadata) for software packages and related content with the aim of facilitating license and other policy compliance.
The goal -- to create a common software package data exchange format to simplify the discovery, collection and sharing of information about software packages and related content -- promises to save time, improve the accuracy of license data collection, and simplify compliance with software licenses.
The Scope of the Problem
Most companies have well-established practices that govern the release and distribution of software. But software re-use has created additional wrinkles. Because most software products developed today are composed of mixed code acquired from many different sources -- in many cases, without the knowledge of product and development managers and executives -- the software supply chain has become more complex.
Breaking the problem down into its component pieces gives a sense of its scope:
- Prior to distributing a collection of software, the contents of each package to be included need to be reviewed to ensure compliance with all the licenses in the code being redistributed.
- Therefore, the supply chain for products requires developers to create a "software pedigree" that includes information necessary to avoid misuse and mitigate risk.
- A software package's declared license may not always match the licenses of individual files inside the package.
- In fact, a typical software package may consist of thousands of files with different licenses.
- Code re-use may have introduced code fragments and components covered by a range of incompatible licenses.
Therefore, the industry needs a standard way of referring to the legal compliance "bill-of-materials" of a software package. It's necessary to standardize a way to exchange information about the licenses contained in a software package efficiently and accurately.
Adding to the urgency of this problem, software packages with more than one version have complex interdependencies. As software evolves over time, new code components may be included that have different licenses, conceivably at any level of the software. Code re-use is a great way to speed up development, but it can introduce license conflicts over time. After all, with almost 2,000 licenses out there, it's clear that not all licenses will be compatible.
Just the Facts, Please
Although most software licenses convey intent, the SPDX effort is focusing on getting at facts. By describing the solution to the problem as a "defined format of file to accompany any software package," the SPDX effort eases the exchange of license information between companies by looking at three areas: facts that deal with identification, facts that provide overview information, and facts that provide file-specific information about the software package. The SPDX Working Group does not attempt to apply legal judgment, for example, by classifying a license as "BSD-like."
Version 1 of the SPDX standard provides a format for representing facts first identifying the package, then about the package content, and finally about the files composing the package.
Facts that deal with a software package's identification (metadata) included in the SPDX specification are:
- Which version of the SPDX specification is in use
- Unique identifier
- The cryptographic hash algorithm representing a unique identifier that correlates with a specific software package
- How the information was generated
- The SPDX spec defines a way to specify manual/visual review of code (who, when), or
- Tools used (id, version, when)
- Independent audit
- SPDX includes the possibility of a multi-person "signoff/reviewed by'" process
Facts that provide overview information about a software package's content also are included in the SPDX specification, e.g.:
- Formal Name
- Package Name
- Download Location
- Declared License(s)
- Copyrights and Dates
Finally, facts that are specific to a software package's file-specific properties included in the SPDX spec cover standardized fields, e.g.:
- File Name (including subdirectory)
- File Type (source or binary)
- Declared license(s) governing file (from file)
- Copyright owners (if listed)
- Copyright dates (if listed)
Because of the license orientation of the specification, the Working Group is committed to providing standardized license references. It's more complex than one might think to reference exactly the right revision of the right license. The spec includes:
- License names
- Unique identifiers for common open source licenses
- Mechanisms for handling non-standard licenses.
So Where is SPDX Now?
Clearly, there's a need to create a set of software package data exchange standards that will eliminate ambiguity for software development organizations, systems and tool vendors, and open source projects -- one that is supported by best practices, use cases and prototype tools -- that can be used by a broad range of constituents.
The SPDX standard Working Group has set an ambitious goal -- to have a defined format for a file of license fact information -- in place by Q4 2010. Work is underway via in-person meetings and a project Wiki, and a website is under construction. Testing with use cases and prototype tools is next up, with a group review planned with the Linux Foundation legal working group in July 2010. From there a V1 draft standard should be published -- the target is August -- with V2 to follow.

Why Are We Participating?
As an open source management vendor, Black Duck has helped hundreds of companies develop better approaches for consuming and contributing to open source projects. Customers typically consume data about open source usage from Black Duck (or from each other as part of a supply chain) in formats ill-suited to the purpose, generally open or proprietary formats that suit their existing office applications (ODF, Microsoft Excel and Word files, Adobe PDF files, etc.). These formats, being general purpose text-oriented ones, are neither easily shared nor "machine readable" and therefore do not facilitate creation of an ecosystem of tools customers can use collaboratively to meet their needs. Much in the way other standards help entire industries to grow, Black Duck hopes by our participation to invest in a "lingua franca" to enable increased usage of open source throughout the world and to make it easier for everyone to do the right thing.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A utility has cleaned up most of the about 300 to 500 gallons of hydraulic fluid that spilled from a Lansing power plant and left a sheen on the Grand River, officials said.
Lansing Board of Water and Light's General Manager Peter Lark expects oil-absorbent booms — inflated buoys with pads to absorb the fluid — to be in place at least through the weekend, the Lansing State Journal reported.
"We are committed to cleaning up all the oil," Lark said. "If anybody can find any oil on that river, we are going to clean it up. If there are any pockets of oil that emanated from our plant, we are responsible for them."
A vacuum truck was used Wednesday to suck up the light, lubricant oil from the water, MLive.com reported.
The spill started Sunday night and was blamed on a gasket failure at the utility's Eckert Power Plant near downtown. Officials say crews began working immediately to clean up the leak but realized early Monday that oil was escaping a containment area.
Booms have been in place since Monday.
George Stojic, who heads the Lansing Board of Water and Light's environmental department, said the utility's environmental response team followed its emergency action plans after the spill. Still, Stojic said the accident was unacceptable.
"You don't want to see these spills," he said. "This stuff doesn't belong in the river."
The utility and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality are investigating spill, and the MDEQ will assess the potential environmental impact.
"BWL appeared to have gotten in front of this thing very quickly," MDEQ spokesman Brad Wurfel. "They're doing everything they're supposed to be doing right now."
Oil spills into Michigan waterways have received increased attention since July 2010, when more than 800,000 gallons spewed into the Kalamazoo River and a tributary creek after the rupture of an underground pipeline near Marshall in southwestern Michigan.
Cleanup continues following that spill from Enbridge Inc.'s pipeline. In that case, oil flowed about 35 miles before it was contained.

June 18, 2004
The Trifid Nebula, cataloged by astronomers as Messier 20 or NGC 6514, is a well-known region of star formation lying within our own Milky Way Galaxy. It is called the Trifid because the nebula is overlain by three bands of obscuring interstellar dust, giving it a trisected appearance as seen in small telescopes. The Trifid lies about 9,000 light-years (2,700 parsecs) from Earth, in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius.
This new image from the Hubble Space Telescope offers a close-up view of the center of the Trifid Nebula, near the intersection of the dust bands, where a group of recently formed, massive, bright stars is easily visible. These stars, which astronomers classify as belonging to the hottest and bluest types of stars called type "O," are releasing a flood of ultraviolet radiation that dramatically influences the structure and evolution of the surrounding nebula. Many astronomers studying nebulae like the Trifid are focusing their research on the ways that waves of star formation move through such regions.
The group of bright O-type stars at the center of the Trifid illuminates a dense pillar of gas and dust, seen to the right of the center of the image, producing a bright rim on the side facing the stars. At the upper left tip of this pillar, there is a complex filamentary structure. This wispy structure has a bluish color because it is made up of glowing oxygen gas that is evaporating into space. Star formation is no longer occurring in the immediate vicinity of the conspicuous group of bright O-type stars, because their intense radiation has blown away the gas and dust from which stars are made.
The Hubble image of the Trifid Nebula has given astronomers insight into the nature of the interaction of gaseous, dusty and stellar material in an area where dust, gas clouds, and new and old stars coexist. The science team, composed of Farhad Yusef-Zadeh (Northwestern U.), John Biretta (STScI), Bob O'Dell (Vanderbilt U.), and Mark Wardle (Macquarie U.), took exposures in filters that transmit light emitted by oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur ions. The images were taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 onboard Hubble in mid-summer 2001 and 2002. This image was produced by the Hubble Heritage Team.

NEW YORK - Don't just sit there. Do something!
That's the word from Pivot, a new cable television network targeting 18-to-34-year-olds. It signs on next week.
Sure, passive viewing is permissible as Pivot rolls out more than 300 hours of original programming to a potential audience of 40 million viewers. But it will offer entertainment - whether comedy, drama, talk or documentaries - that aims not just to amuse but also to inspire social change.
"This is a general entertainment network, which we want to be enjoyable and interesting to the audience. Then the inspiration and the action come from it," says Chad Boettcher, Pivot's executive vice president of social action and advocacy.
Viewers can sample how with the premiere of "TakePart Live," which will be "the first millennial-driven talk and information show on TV," according to Pivot president Evan Shapiro. Airing at midnight Eastern time, the weeknight show is devoted to "decoding the news," he said, complete with online involvement by viewers who will join in the effort to separate what's true from what's not in each day's high-profile stories.
Earlier on the network's launch day, Aug. 1, Pivot will treat binge-happy viewers to all six episodes of "Please Like Me," a comedy-drama from 25-year-old Australian comedian Josh Thomas whose first half-hour is already available on the Pivot website.
"If `Girls' had a soul, this would be that show," Shapiro said with a laugh during a recent interview.
He described "Please Like Me" as "a coming-out quarter-life-crisis suicide comedy," which opens up all sorts of self-esteem issues for viewers to share and discuss online.
Pivot will present acquired programming such as "Friday Night Lights" and "Little Mosque," a long-running Canadian series focused on a Muslim community in a Saskatchewan prairie town that will make its U.S. debut on Aug. 5.
The network will air features and documentaries that befit its parent, Participant Media, which, founded in 2004 by entrepreneur-philanthropist Jeff Skoll, set a "double bottom line" for itself - financial profit and social impact - and since then has produced more than 40 socially relevant fiction and nonfiction films including "The Help," "Charlie Wilson's War," "Food, Inc.," "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Lincoln."
"Participant exists to tell stories that inspire people to be more involved in the world around them," said the company's CEO, Jim Berk, "and we have learned this doesn't happen unless the audience believes that the source of the content and the storytelling is authentic. With the launch of Pivot we now have new ways to foster a trusting relationship by providing tools to understand and distill complex issues."
That all sounds good, declared Brad Adgate, an analyst at the media-buying firm Horizon Media, "but it's easier said than done. It's a big chore to figure out what's relevant to this target audience and get them to respond."
Pivot thinks wide-ranging research and Participant's track record have given the network a handle on what will resonate with millennials, and it's programming accordingly.
In September, it will premiere "Raising McCain," billed as a "genre-busting docu-talk series" following Meghan McCain, daughter of Arizona's U.S. Sen. John McCain, and "Jersey Strong," an original docu-series from the producers of the Peabody Award-winning "Brick City" that centers on two unconventional families in Newark, N.J.: a man and woman mentoring young people who themselves are members of two rival street gangs and two women in a same-sex relationship who run a law firm.
And slated for January is the premiere of "hitRECord on TV," an audience-collaborated variety show produced and hosted by actor-impresario Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who rallies artists from his global open-source online community to create films, music and other content for the series.
Pivot will cull its programming for appropriate calls to action to air during the shows. During August alone, more than 160 action proposals will be highlighted on screen for viewers to consider, Shapiro said.
"But we also wanted an issue that was universal, across the entire network," he added - "a campaign that, whoever you are, applies to you."
What Pivot came up with: digital and media literacy. It resulted in a year-round initiative called Eyes Wide Open.
Underlying the campaign is Pivot's own polling of 18-to34-year-olds, which found a generation worried about bias in their news and often feeling misled by social media, even as many of them acknowledged having misled others with their posts. Meanwhile, this crowd voiced confusion, even a sense of defeat, about the problem of online privacy.
"This is the first digitally native generation in the history of the world," said Shapiro, "and they feel overwhelmed. They feel trapped. We want to give them a resource to talk about that, to know they're not alone in it and to get more information and help."
He calls "TakePart Live" the face of this initiative, and of Pivot overall, "because we want to help decode the information that is being thrust at this audience on an ongoing basis."
But there's more. On its website Pivot will launch its digital and media literacy hub containing information on a user's rights in the digital world, advice on establishing privacy settings, and, in a bid by the network for corporate transparency, its own policy on advertising - what it accepts and rejects and why.
Pivot will present an original half-hour documentary, "Eyes Wide Open," premiering Sept. 11.
The campaign will be the focus of the first episode of "Raising McCain," while those issues will be examined in at least a half-dozen editions of ABC News' "Nightline" produced in the coming year in partnership with Pivot.
"We think the stories we tell and how we tell them are uniquely suited to the mission at Participant and at Pivot," said "Nightline" executive producer Jeanmarie Condon, "as we work together to write the next chapter in the history of these two powerful brands."
That next chapter, said Shapiro, calls for the audience to get more savvy about producing and consuming media content.
"We want to create the most literate audience in digital media on Earth," he said.

The Buffalo Bills made their quarterback situation a little less complicated Monday evening by releasing veteran Tarvaris Jackson.
The move came on the eve of the team's mandatory three-day minicamp and clears the way for rookie first-round draft pick EJ Manuel to get more quality practice time and compete for the starting job.
Jackson, 30, spent an unsatisfying season as the Bills' No. 3 quarterback last year, unable ever to move ahead of lightly regarded Tyler Thigpen and become the backup to Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Nevertheless, the Bills re-signed him to a one-year contract in February. The decision to release Fitzpatrick had not yet been made at the time, and the team didn't have any other quarterbacks on the roster.
Jackson received a $450,000 signing bonus and a $50,000 workout bonus, which he keeps. He was due to receive another $1.25 million in base salary if he had made the team.
With Jackson out of the way, Manuel gets a better chance to compete with veteran Kevin Kolb.
The Bills begin three days of mandatory practices today. Training camp opens July 28.
Manuel, the 16th overall pick in the draft, got far fewer practice snaps than Kolb or Jackson over the course of the team's 10 voluntary spring practices last month. Kolb and Jackson got virtually an equal number of plays each session.
Manuel has had six weeks to get familiar with the playbook. Now the Bills can get the Florida State graduate more intensive and meaningful work against the first- and second-line defenders.
The move also is a boost to undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel of Washington State, the third quarterback on the roster. He was one of the top rookie free agents the Bills targeted after the draft and got almost no practice snaps this spring. Now he figures to get a little more work.
Jackson entered the NFL as a second-round draft pick of Minnesota in 2006. He has a 17-17 record as a starter.
Jackson was philosophical about his position two weeks ago.
"I've been in this league going on eight years now," Jackson said. "Hopefully, I'll make it eight. But I know how it goes. Like I said, I just come out here and do my best. In certain situations your best might not be good enough. They invested a lot in a player in the first round."
Jackson went 7-7 as Seattle's starter in 2011 but lost the Seahawks' QB competition last summer to rookie phenom Russell Wilson.
Seattle traded Jackson to Buffalo last August for a seventh-round draft pick.
Jackson never was able to win enough confidence from former coach Chan Gailey to get on the field last year.
Participation at this week's practices is mandatory for players under contract, but safety Jairus Byrd is not expected to attend.
He has not signed the tender offer the Bills made him when they placed the franchise tag on him in February. Since he has not signed, Byrd is not subject to being fined for being absent.

Here you can see a detailed look at the forecast for the next 48 hours. Note that the base for this is our Meteogram product, which shows a good average forecast for Dungeness (Clallam County, Washington, United States).
However, you can also look at our compact prediction based on any other model that forecasts for your chosen location.
The following models are available for Dungeness:
ECMWF 6z/18z (3 days), ECMWF IFS HRES (5 days), GFS (5 days), GEM (5 days), ACCESS-G (5 days), ICON (5 days), NORWAY (5 days), Serbian MOS (5 days)
This plot displays the 14 day temperature forecast for your selected location, Dungeness.
The red numbers show the expected high temperature for a given day, while the blue numbers show the expected low temperature. Because forecast uncertainty increases with time, we also display the range of possible high/low temperature outcomes, shown as the shaded red/blue regions. The actual high/low temp could fall anywhere in that shaded region, and the larger the shaded regions are, the higher the forecast uncertainty is.
Current weather - Here we've put together a glance at all the most important information about the current weather in Dungeness (Clallam County, Washington, United States). You can see with the radar HD if precipitation is falling at the moment, or headed towards Dungeness soon. You can also see where there are thunderstorms currently ongoing, as well as where thunderstorms have occurred in recent weeks and months with our lightning analysis tool. Our HD satellite images of Dungeness will show you whether there's sunshine currently in the area, or if clouds are making for a more gloomy day. Finally, current observations will tell you what current temperatures look like around Dungeness at the moment, as well as if it's humid and/or windy.
Forecast for the next few days - The weather forecast for Dungeness is available in several different versions, all clearly and simply displayed here on the Weather Dungeness page. For the short term, we have data based on a single weather model that is known to deliver the best forecast for Dungeness. For the longer term, we have forecasts for the next two weeks based on an analysis of many different possible forecast outcomes that will give you a sense of not just what's most likely, but how the forecast could change in future updates as we get closer to any given date. If the range of possible outcomes is narrow, you can have high confidence in the forecast. If the range is wide, you know there's more uncertainty, and to not give too much credence to any one possible forecast outcome. We also have other products such as Meteograms and Forecast XL elsewhere on our site to give you additional options for figuring out the forecast for Dungeness.

There are thousands of anti aging skin care products on the market as you must be well aware of. However, the quality of these anti wrinkle skin products will vary from exceptionally lousy to outstanding. Not surprisingly, many of the companies will claim their special brand is the best there is.
Obviously not every product can be the best. That means there is a lot of misinformation about skin care out there. No wonder consumers looking for high quality anti aging skin care products often are unsure as to which specific product they should buy and use.
In general, products containing ingredients that have been proven effective by clinical tests can credibly be called good products. Let's take a look at a few of these.
Any product containing ingredients that are 100 % natural would definitely be worth exploring. That's because all natural anti aging skin care products typically avoid harmful or even toxic, which are still often used by even brand name companies that base their products on chemicals and mineral oil.
They will use preservatives and synthetic chemicals in order to make their creams have a nice texture, smell good or make it stay good for years on the supermarket's shelf. While such properties are great for the company's profits, they are unfortunately harmful to the people using these products: possibly causing skin irritation, rashes and even cancer.
But when you use all-natural products that are free of these potentially dangerous ingredients, you can avoid a lot of potential health hazards.
Of course, it is also important to do some research when on the lookout for the best anti aging skin care products. Such research could consist of reading user reviews, doing a little customer service research, or simply taking the good advice of a friend. Great products will eventually develop a reputation for being great – regardless of if they are widely advertised or not. When you find a product with a reputation like that, it is definitely worth trying out.
However, remember not to take all anti wrinkle cream reviews as the absolute truth, because different people have different opinions on what equals "good", and what may work for someone else, may not be ideal for you.
My tip is to try out a few skincare product lines that are 100% natural and have good customer reviews. Try to find products containing a mix of natural substances designed not only to moisture, but also to boost your skin's collagen production.
Some of the best all-natural ingredients include, but are not limited to, C-enzyme Q10, Xtend TK and Phytessence Wakame. These are all powerhouse ingredients proven to smooth out wrinkles and keep new ones away. Look for anti aging skin care products containing these three, and you should be seeing anti wrinkle effects in no time!

|Costumes for Groups
This homemade costume for groups entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Miguel, the 'Hungry Hungry Hippos' costume creator:
Friend, Steven, Tim, and I (green, yellow, and pink respectively) transformed ourselves into lifesize, Hungry Hungry Hippos. Steven asked himself what had not been done before that may be great to do, as a result HHP was born. Took us 1 month to make. Molded the body out of chicken wire, paper-mached the body, used colored duck tape, pvc piping for the fully functioning lever, used cut out toilet paper rolls for the nose, styrofoam balsl for the eyes, and converse that were the colors of our suits.

2 lbs shallots,peeled and slice
1 cup all purpose flour +1/2 cup rice flour
2 cup canola oil
1. Peel and slice shallots as thinly as possible, using a mandoline or a very sharp knife. Spread shallots out in a thin layer on a large sheet tray, overlapping them as little as possible; doing so prevents them from clumping up when fried.
2:Heat oil in fryer or stock pot at high heat.Spread slice shallots into the flour mixture,coat well.Shake the excess flour before toss in the fryer.
3:Fry the shallots until golden brown.Sieve the fried shallots on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.Cool down before store in air tight container.
4:Sprinkle in your food or soup as garnishing to make it taste better.

If you've visited Sony's PSN Store this week, you'll probably have noticed that you can now download God Hand and a bunch of other classic PS2 titles.
Unfortunately, Sony has revealed in a PS Vita FAQ on PlayStation.Blog that it has no plans to make these new titles compatible with its latest handheld console. PS3 games aren't on the agenda either.
"PlayStation does not have plans to make PS Vita compatible with PS3 or PS2 titles at this point," the FAQ states.
You will, however, be able to play supported digital PSP titles and the PSN Store's range of PSP minis, such as Gameloft's N.O.V.A. and Halfbrick's Age of Zombies.
You'll also be able to download and play PSone classics titles, but compatibility and further details will be announced "when they are ready".CVG

| 1.1°C Belfast
A hunt is under way for a man suspected of murdering a prostitute and attacking another.
The body of Maria Duque-Tunjano, a 48-year-old Briton originally from Colombia, was discovered at a flat in Earls Court, west London on Friday.
Police are searching for Robert Richard Fraser in connection with her death, and also believe he may be responsible for an attack on another sex worker in Paddington.
Fraser is also known as Robert Aleem and Shia Robert Jackson, and Scotland Yard says that anyone who sees him should call 999 immediately.
Officers were called to a flat in Earls Court Square at 1pm on Friday where they found the body of Ms Duque-Tunjano, who was from Streatham.
Police said her body had been there for a number of days, and a post-mortem examination on Saturday found she died from being hit over the head with a blunt object. Her next of kin have been informed.
Inquiries established that Ms Duque-Tunjano was a prostitute who used the flat for her work. Police believe she was robbed of cash during the assault.
They are now linking the murder to another attack on a sex worker in Paddington on January 18, when a woman in her 20s was assaulted and robbed by a man, though not seriously injured.
Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Wall said: "We have established that Maria was last seen alive on Tuesday, January 28. We also understand she was in the company of a man and our primary focus is to trace him as part of this investigation.
"It is now our belief that this man was also responsible for an attack on another female sex worker in Paddington. It is imperative that we trace him as soon as possible.
"We have spoken to organisations with links to those who work in the sex industry to make them aware of this incident and pass on the message that personal safety of sex workers is of paramount importance."
Anyone with information has been asked to call police 020 8785 8244 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Thursday at Camden Yards was supposed to be about third baseman Manny Machado, the Orioles' top hitting prospect, who was making his big league debut directly out of Double-A.
But to paraphrase one of Orioles manager Buck Showalter's favorite sayings, the Kansas City Royals didn't cooperate.
Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen turned in the worst start of his brief big league career in an 8-2 bashing by the Royals that ended the Orioles' five-game winning streak before an announced 21,226.
Machado did his part with a two-hit night, including a triple for his first big league hit.
"Would've been way, much better if we had come out with the win," said Machado, who played third base and batted ninth.
The Orioles' offense couldn't provide nearly enough after the usually reliable Chen got ambushed early. He allowed a homer on his second pitch of the game to Alex Gordon. Three batters later, Billy Butler continued his assault against the Orioles with a three-run homer, his 23rd long ball of the season. He was down 4-0 before getting an out.
"That was a lesson I needed to learn today. I feel like my fastball, again, was so straight today," Chen said through interpreter Tim Lin. "There's no life on my fastball and they are definitely really good hitters with a really good lineup today and they hit the ball really well. That's the only thing I can say."
Chan gave up a career-worst seven earned runs in just 42/3 innings after allowing seven earned runs in his previous five starts combined.
It was the fifth time this season the Orioles (60-52) attempted to win a season-best sixth straight. And the fifth time they couldn't get it done. They dropped 51/2 games behind the New York Yankees in the American League East and are now tied with the Detroit Tigers for the second AL Wild Card spot, a half-game behind the Oakland A's.
But there were some moments to remember. When the 20-year-old Machado walked onto the Camden Yards' grass to warm up before his much-anticipated major league debut, the early arriving fans screamed, and the club's veteran shortstop J.J. Hardy offered some words of wisdom.
"Fans started clapping as soon as I walked out. It was just a great feeling," said Machado, the club's first-round pick in 2010 who was promoted Thursday from Double-A Bowie. "J.J. was out there and he started laughing at me. [He said], 'Sink it in. The fans love you here. Just sink it in. Same game. Just go out there and have fun.'"
After grounding out in his first at-bat, Machado tripled to right-center against Royals' rookie left-hander Will Smith in the fifth. Moments later he scored the first run of his career and the first for the Orioles on the night by dashing home on a sinking sacrifice fly to left by Nick Markakis.
Machado picked up his second hit in the seventh with an infield dribbler that second baseman Chris Getz couldn't handle. He popped up to end the game, going 2-for-4 with one run scored.
"I thought Manny did well. Presented himself well tonight," Showalter said. "I'm proud of him. There was a nice calmness about him and a good start. He handled the situation well, all things considered."
The Orioles plated just one more against Smith (3-4), who entered the contest with a 6.00 ERA in eight major-league starts and allowed just six hits and three walks in seven innings.
Matt Wieters hit his 16th homer of the season in the sixth against Smith – a solo shot that was his third in three games. He is now 7-for-18 with eight RBIs in this four-game homestand.
It was fitting that Wieters was the only Oriole besides Machado to have two hits Thursday considering the Orioles haven't had this much buzz around a debut since Wieters made his first start on May 29, 2009. He went hitless in that game, but tripled the next day for his first big-league knock.
Butler doubled in the third and tripled in fifth, when Markakis dove for a sinking liner that eluded him and bounced into the corner in right. It was the fourth triple of Butler's career and first since 2009.
Butler, who entered the night with a .329 average and .564 slugging percentage against the Orioles in 36 career games, had two chances to single and become the first Royal to hit for the cycle since Hall of Famer George Brett in 1990. He struck out in the seventh and in the ninth, however.
"Butler's one of the top five right-handed hitters in baseball," Showalter said. "This guy is solid. You look at his track record. I try not to feel like he's picking on us. We made some good pitches on him the last couple at-bats, but we made some mistakes on him and good hitters are going to pounce on those."
The fifth batter of the first hit a liner off Chen's left calf, but the lefty remained in the game, and settled down for a little bit. In the third, though, Chen (10-7) allowed consecutive RBI doubles, and then a sacrifice fly in the fifth before being pulled.
He just happened to have a bad outing on a night in which Machado was supposed to be the story.
"I definitely wanted to bring [Machado] a new hope, a new start," Chen said. "But I didn't do my job, and I just couldn't do it."

Somehow longtime author, punk rock drummer, and self-described "punk anthropologist" Aaron Cometbus (born Aaron Elliot) has managed to stay relatively under the mainstream radar while simultaneously gaining great notoriety and deserved respect among underground punk circles for close to three full decades now -- ever since the beginning of the eighties when, barely a teenager, the highly intelligent and gifted Berkeley youth began writing his seminal punk fanzine Cometbus.
He also played music in many bands from a young age. His second band Crimpshrine, in which he played drums, was the pioneering East Bay punk band which had a major impact on the burgeoning East Bay punk scene, up until their demise in '89. Since then Aaron has continued to consistently make music as a member of, literally, dozens of different bands -- most of them short lived groups. Some, such as Pinhead Gunpowder, which he formed with Billie Joe Armstrong and others in the early nineties, still play occasionally. His most recent band is the Thorns of Life which formed a few months ago in Brooklyn and features Blake Schwarzenbach (of Jets to Brazil & Jawbreaker fame) and bassist Daniela Sea (known for her former membership of the Gr'ups and Cypher in the Snow as well as her acting role in the TV show The L Word). The band, who played their first club date ever on Monday at the Hemlock in SF followed a few days later on Thursday last by a "secret show" at Thrillhouse Records with a reported 100 folks squeezed into the small Mission Street retail space., play 924 Gilman tomorrow (Sat. Jan 31st).

DENVER — Colorado State entered Friday's season opener with 31 career starts on the offensive line. All of them belonged to senior left tackle Ty Sambrailo, and he took them with him to the locker room midway through the first quarter.
Sambrailo went down with what staff said was a right knee injury and he was being evaluated in the locker room after being helped off the field by training staff. The injury occurred away from the play, an 11-yard run by Dee Hart.
CSU coach Jim McElwain said after the game it was an MCL injury that would not require surgery. He added Sambrailo could be back on the field in three weeks.
Sambrailo, considered by scouts to be a strong NFL prospect in the upcoming draft, was replaced by Nick Callender in the lineup.
Despite losing the only experienced linemen they had, the Rams found success running the ball, surpassing 200 rushing yards midway through the fourth quarter.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of our offensive line," McElwain said. "They took the game over, and let's give credit to Nick Callender, who came in for Ty Sambrailo, who is a great player, and we didn't miss a beat. I thought the running backs ran pretty hard."
In addition, quarterback Garrett Grayson had not been sacked. In the third quarter, Treyous Jarrells made an impact, busting off consecutive runs of 17 and 3 yards, the latter going for a touchdown to make it a 17-14 CU lead with 6:18 remaining in the frame.
The Rams have had injury problems at tackle so far, with junior college transfer Jordan Finley expected to miss the first four games after undergoing knee surgery in the spring. In addition, they have lost senior Mason Hathaway for the season with a knee injury, and freshman Jordan Benson is out with an ankle injury.
However, Callender made an impression with his teammates for the way he filled in on short notice.
"I'm very impressed. Ty went down, Nick came in and he pulled it together and everybody did a good job in the front," said Treyous Jarrells, who rushed for 121 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown.
.In the lineup — Senior tight end Kivon Cartwright was listed as doubtful early in the week, but the senior out of Pueblo South was in the starting lineup for the Rams. He had one catch for 22 yards in the first half.
Linebacker Cory James, who was slowed in camp after having his knee scoped the second week of August, was also in the starting lineup.
Missing — Sophomore safety Nick Januska was listed second on the depth chart at free safety entering the game, but was not on the field for warm ups, nor did he play in the game. Januska figured to factor heavily in the Rams' nickel package as well.
"He had a little mix-up he had to take care of, so he didn't make travel squad," McElwain said. "Those other guys stepped in. Justin Sweet played great. I thought (Preston) Hodges did a really good job in the nickel situation."
First timers — The Rams has 16 players make their first action for the program in the first half — Justin Sweet, Preston Hodges, Kiel Robinson, Shun Johnson, Hart, Jake Bennett, Xavier Williams, Steven Walker, Trent Sieg, Evan Colorito, Kevin Nutt, Deionte Gaines, Elroy Masters, Trae Moxley, Pierre Copeland II and Jarrells.
Johnson, Nutt and Gaines are all true freshmen.
Numbers — CSU entered the game with a 6-2 record in games played in August. … Both team will be on the road next week, CSU is at Boise State (0-1) for an 8:15 p.m. kickoff; CU is at Massachusetts at 1 p.m. … Max Morgan led the team with nine tackles, while Terry Jackson tied a career best with six stops. … The 266 yards rushing by the Rams was the second most against Colorado. They had matched the total, but when the team kneeled down at the end, it dropped the figure by 1 yard.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 after increasing 3.1 percent in the third quarter, according to estimates released today by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. For the full year 2012, real GDP increased 2.2 percent after increasing 1.8 percent in 2011.
Fourth-quarter highlights
The decline in real GDP growth in the fourth quarter reflected the following:
- Inventory investment turned down, mainly because of a decline in inventory investment in manufacturing industries.
- Federal government spending fell significantly, reflecting a downturn in defense spending (for more information, see the technical note).
- Net exports turned down, mainly reflecting a decrease in exports of goods; food, feeds, and beverage items as well as civilian aircraft, engines, and parts fell significantly.
In contrast, business investment turned up, as spending on equipment and software rebounded (mainly computers and related parts as well as transportation equipment). Consumer spending also picked up (mainly financial services as well as autos and parts).
Gross domestic purchases prices
Prices of goods and services purchased by U.S. residents rose 1.3 percent in the fourth quarter, following a 1.4 percent rise in the third quarter. Energy prices slowed, and food prices turned up. Excluding food and energy, prices rose 1.1 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with 1.2 percent in the third quarter.
Annual highlights
The pickup in economic growth for the full year 2012 mainly reflected:
- A slowdown in imports, notably in capital goods (except autos) and consumer goods.
- A rebound in residential housing.
- An upturn in inventory investment.
- A smaller decrease in state and local government spending.
The contributions were partly offset by slowdowns in consumer spending (mainly on services and nondurable goods) and in exports (mainly industrial supplies and materials).

Hubble's "eyes" are actually a system called the Optical Telescope Assembly. That system consists of two mirrors, support trusses, and the apertures (openings) of the instruments. Hubble's optical system is a straightforward design known as Ritchey-Chretien Cassegrain, in which two special mirrors form focused images over the largest possible field of view.
Light Path
Incoming light travels down a tube fitted with baffles that keep out stray light. The light is collected by the concave (curved inward, like a bowl) primary mirror and reflected toward the smaller, convex (curved outward, like a dome) secondary mirror. The secondary mirror bounces the light back toward the primary mirror and through a hole in its center. The light is then focused on a small area called the focal plane, where it is picked up by the various science instruments.
Mirror Quality
Hubble's mirrors are very smooth and have precisely shaped reflecting surfaces. They were ground (shaped by removing glass with abrasives) so that their surfaces do not deviate from a perfect curve by more than 1/800,000ths of an inch. If Hubble's primary mirror were scaled up to the diameter of the Earth, the biggest bump would be only six inches tall.
Shortly after Hubble's deployment in 1990, scientists found that the curve to which the primary mirror was ground was incorrect, causing "spherical aberration." Fortunately, corrective optics were able to solve this problem.
Hubble's mirrors are made of ultra-low expansion glass and kept at a nearly constant room temperature (about 70 degrees Fahrenheit) to avoid warping. The reflecting surfaces are coated with a 3/1,000,000th-inch layer of pure aluminum and protected by a 1/1,000,000th-inch layer of magnesium fluoride. The magnesium fluoride makes the mirrors more reflective of ultraviolet light.

A Month-to-Month Guide for Seasonal Produce
In the season of New Year's resolutions and tall drifts of snow, January brings with it some hearty, delicious produce for warm, satisfying meals. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kale are in season. This is the perfect month to try roasting some of these vegetables or making cozy cauliflower casseroles. The winter squash available all winter long (as their name implies) will pair well with them in some sheet pan dinners. Citrus fruits are in season, as well; grapefruit, lemons, oranges and tangerines make refreshing, zesty additions to your January menu. Leeks, in the same family of vegetables as garlic, are also in season, as are root vegetables such as parsnips, rutabagas and turnips. What should you make with these items? These root vegetables are perfect additions to cozy soups and stews.istockphoto.com
Many of the same vegetables are in season in February as January, so there's plenty of time to munch on citrusy salads before the fruit tastes less fresh. Fennel and radishes come into season this month, as well, and yes, you can still find plenty of winter squash to cook with.istockphoto.com
March is the month where you can expect produce to begin to transition away from the wintry and toward more spring vegetables. Depending on where you live, the weather may still be frosty, but you can count on spring items such as artichokes, mangos, pineapples and fresh greens like arugula, spinach and lettuce. Start thinking about cooking lemon, asparagus and pea pasta, or roasting whole artichokes for a dinner side dish. Citrus fruits, however, will start to fade from season this month along with heartier greens such as kale.istockphoto.com
April showers bring more than just May flowers. They also will bring spring vegetables like sweet peas and asparagus, along with many of the fruits and vegetables that started to be available in March. As the weather warms, root vegetables such as parsnips and rutabagas go out of season and are replaced by seasonal produce such as rhubarb and zucchini. Now is the time to make fresh spring salads and start thinking about making strawberry rhubarb pie.istockphoto.com
May signals the end of spring, so make the most of those spring vegetables while you can. Asparagus, artichokes and radishes are on their final weeks. The beginnings of summer are starting to sneak onto the shelves with fruits such as apricots, cherries and strawberries. Say goodbye to pineapples and mangos, though. This is the last month they'll be this fresh until next year. Swiss chard and okra also are in their prime this time of year. Keep an eye out for those, as well as zucchini and fresh summer squash.istockphoto.com
Say hello to summer, which will no doubt gift you with the freshest strawberries, blueberries, cherries, cantaloupe, kiwi, peaches and watermelon you'll see at any time of the year. Summer is one of the best times to eat hydrating, fresh fruits and enjoy healthy snacking outdoors. Other produce to expect this season includes crisp summer vegetables such as cucumbers and green beans. They'll make quick and reliable side dishes for your weeknight grilling!istockphoto.com
Just in time for cookout season, July has everything your fresh summer side dishes need to taste great. Tomatoes, corn, zucchini, summer squash and bright bell peppers will start to be in season. So when you set up your grill and get to cooking restaurant-quality burgers, you can bet on some of your plant-based menu items tasting great, too. Additionally, all the fruits from June are joined by tart raspberries, sweet blackberries and plump plums. This is prime time for the best fruit pies. Make one of your own or hit up one of the nation's best pie shops for the tastiest in-season summer desserts.istockphoto.com
One of the warmest months of the year, August is a great time for produce. Now is the time to make all your favorite summer salads and get creative in the kitchen with fresh fruits and vegetables. As far as fruits go, expect to see all kinds of berries, melons, apples, stone fruits such as apricots and peaches, kiwis, mangos and figs. Stone fruits can make some delightful desserts. Use this season's berries to make a healthy frozen treat. Colorful vegetables such as corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, bell peppers, zucchini and summer squash are in season. You can also expect to see the beginnings of fall with some denser types of squash such as acorn and butternut. Spruce up the last cookouts of the season with these delicious barbecue classics using the season's best produce.istockphoto.com
The fruits available in summer will no longer be as fresh, if they are available at all. But the change of seasons isn't all bad. Grapes, pomegranates and persimmons will replace summer berries. And fall produce is ripe with nutrients like beta-carotene, which gives pumpkins and squash their orange color. Gourds such as acorn squash, butternut squash and pumpkin will be in peak season starting in September. Add them to sauces for a savory, herb-filled fall pasta recipes. You can also get excited to cook all your fall favorites with sweet potatoes, mushrooms and cauliflower, all of which come back this month. Apple picking season is starting, too, so get your hands on some ripe apples and bake a delicious apple pie.istockphoto.com
Fall is in full swing; whether you love the season or hate it, by October you're surrounded by all things Halloween, cozy sweaters and changing leaves. It's also the perfect time for comforting fall casseroles and other seasonal meals. There are lots of things you can cook with this season's offerings, which include many types of squash, mushrooms, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, parsnips, sweet potatoes and rutabagas. Make some roasted sweet potato fries or a whole roasted cauliflower to serve with dinner. You might also want to whip up a warm pot of soup using leeks and root vegetables. Fruits that are in season throughout October include apples, persimmons, grapes and pomegranates - which are great for your skin, by the way.istockphoto.com
Getting ready to cook for Thanksgiving? This season's produce has you covered. Make a holiday pie everyone will remember with freshly-picked pumpkins and apples. Brussels sprouts are officially in season, so you can cook them as a side (here's the best way). Cranberries are at their freshest in November, too; consider making your own cranberry sauce instead of buying the canned kind from the store. Pears, persimmons, tangerines and oranges are in season, as well. Other vegetables you want to cook with include cauliflower, beets, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms and winter squash.istockphoto.com
You have to even out those sugary holiday cookies somehow, right? In the dead of winter, your front yard might be barren and covered in snow, but elsewhere certain types of produce are still thriving. There's still plenty to cook with and make nourishing, warm packed lunches for your snowy days. In December, all the wintry produce such as citrus fruits, cabbage, cauliflower and kale is readily available. Sweet potatoes, pears and pomegranates can be used to make savory and sweet recipes like a warm grain salad. Turnips, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and rutabagas are other standouts to expect during the holiday season. But no matter what time of year it is, all this knowledge about which produce is in season can help you plan your dinner menus accordingly - one of the ways you can save lots of money from your grocery bill.

Snowden Claims no Classified Documents were Taken to Russia
WASHINGTON (AP) - Former National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden said that he did not take any secret NSA documents to Russia and that intelligence officials in China as well as Russia cannot get access to the documents he had obtained before leaving the United States.
The New York Times reported Thursday that it interviewed Snowden over several days recently via encrypted online communications.
The newspaper reports that Snowden said he handed over all the documents he had to journalists during his stay in Hong Kong.
He said he did not retain copies of the documents and did not take them to Russia because, in his words, "it wouldn't serve the public interest."
Snowden told Times that that he believes he is a whistle-blower who acted in the nation's best interests.

JWT21 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.

Brook Hollow Golf Club Dallas Texas
I am part of the design committee looking to redesign our logo. Our club was founded in 1920 and the course was designed by renowed architect AW Tillinghast. The club's famous and long lasting logo was changed 4 years ago to a very generic "cross golf club" logo. This "new logo" is not a good representation of the club and as it is quite generic. The logo itself it literally free clip art that can be found on the internet. We are in need of a redesign that is on par with the other top clubs in the country.
See Above
The logo must be simple in design, however unique in structure. The goal of a strong and unique logo is for the club to have a visual representation that is easy to place on shirts, hats, and other printed material. All of the great clubs have a strong and unique logo. The most obvious and famous example is Augusta National's, however ther are plenty of other examples of great logos: Oakmont, Cypress Point, National Golf Links, Merion, etc. It is our belief that the a great logo should be able to stand on its own with out without a text description of the Club's name.
The club's famous "old logo" was changed as a group of members that decided it was too intricate to be placed properly on hats, shirts, and other items. Our committee is ok with change, however the logo that they chose 4 years ago is very generic and doesn't represent the club well. We are looking to have an "updated logo" that incorporates some of the elements of the "old logo" along with a new version of the cross golf sticks that is not "free clip art".
The older original logo has a couple of elements we would like to preserve.
1. The squirel.
2. Cross Golf Sticks
3. Drawn in an old style fashion.
The idea is to make a very iconic cool logo with the above 3 requirements, that is simple in design and form, but a powerful and unique design.

When it comes to achieving significant sustainability gains, an international retail giant has unique opportunities to cut energy use. With a total of 4,500 sites, Walmart's commitment to efficiency in parking lighting in new construction and retrofits is paying off in major savings.
As a result of its lighting upgrades Walmart received individual Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign awards for a superstore, a neighborhood market and a Sam's Club. Across 100 stores including both new and retrofitted sites, over 40 million square feet in surfaces for parking and over 100,000 parking spaces, Walmart is saving over 15 million kWh each year as a result of lighting upgrades.
With 7 hospitals and 22 physician locations serving more than 9 Wisconsin counties, ThedaCare has ample room to implement and reap the benefits of building efficiency measures. At the Appleton Medical Center, ThedaCare's Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign Award winning project involved replacing inefficient medium-wattage HID lighting fixtures at a 126,000 square foot parking structure with high efficiency low-wattage LED fixtures. The resulting energy savings exceed 80 percent of the previous usage. A 100-year old company and the third largest health care employer in Wisconsin, ThedaCare has now implemented LED exterior lighting throughout Appleton Medical Center.
Kimco Realty Corporation's large facility portfolio could be considered quite challenging to some organizations trying to reduce energy savings, but Kimco was able to provide upgrades to 160 sites across 25 states over 2 years. The 50-year old real estate investment trust based in New Hyde Park, New York was a 2014 Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign winner for Largest Absolute Number of Facility Upgrades. Kimco has reduced their lighting energy usage primarily through the use of lighting controls for their parking lots representing approximately 51
million square feet of parking area. Kimco, which owns and operates over 800 shopping centers in North and South America, can add their LEEP accomplishments to their 2013 National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) award for leadership in sustainability and energy efficiency.
Regency Centers is a national owner, operator, and developer of neighborhood and community shopping centers with over 300 properties throughout the United States. Regency Centers recently upgraded the parking lot lighting at Rona Plaza in Santa Ana, California. Rona Plaza is a grocery-anchored shopping center with 52,000 square-feet of gross lettable area and 250 parking spaces across 77,000 square feet of parking area. Regency Centers retrofitted the existing parking lot and exterior wall mounted fixtures, which were high-intensity discharge (HID) fixtures, with high efficiency LED fixtures coupled with a wireless dimming system. The retrofit resulted in energy savings of nearly 88% compared to pre-existing conditions and was recognized by the Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign with the Highest Percentage Energy Savings in a Retrofit at a Single Parking Area award.
One of the nation's largest schools serving over 60,000 students, the University of Minnesota (U of M) is upgrading the lighting at all 18 parking ramps and garages on its Minneapolis campus. In the Northrop Auditorium Garage, a small 24,000 square foot facility with 75 parking spots, U of M replaced low-wattage high-pressure sodium fixtures with high efficiency, lower- wattage LED fixtures with lighting controls. This Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign Award winning project achieved 90% energy savings by upgrading to LEDs with lighting controls.

Toads are the most recurring summons to be seen in the series due to some of the main characters, Naruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, and the Fourth Hokage, being able to summon them, come from the Toad Land, Myobokuzan. Toads possess a wide range of abilities, being able to spit water or oil from their mouths and occasionally utilizing weapons in battle. They vary greatly in size; Gamabunta, the largest toad seen so far, is as big as a building, at least 100 meters tall in fact, while his two sons, Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, are small enough in Part I to ride upon one's head. In promotional artwork for Part II, Naruto is depicted riding atop an older Gamakichi, suggesting that he and his brother have gotten much bigger since their last appearances. This has been proven after Jiraiya's death, when Gamakichi and his father are visitting Naruto in Konoha to bring him the bad news.
Unlike most summons introduced in Naruto, each toad is shown to have a unique personality; Gamatatsu has a fixation for snacks and Gamakichi enjoys watching battles from a safe distance. Their father, Gamabunta, speaks like a yakuza gangster who won't work with anyone he doesn't respect. Despite this, he is fiercely protective of his children and Naruto, and will fight for their safety regardless of his respect for the summoner (or, more likely, whether or not Jiraiya is on his good side). Gamaken, a toad of comparable size to Gamabunta that is introduced in Part II, spends the bulk of his brief appearance commenting on how weak and stupid he is.
The toad elders seem to hold high positions in toad-society; the Great Toad Sage, an aging and senile toad, hands out wisdom and predictions to the younger generations. He is highly respected for his track record of always being right, and getting to meet with him is considered a great honor. A married toad couple, who simply refer to each other as Shima and Fukasaku, assist the Great Sage in his work. They also seem to be particularly powerful, as Jiraiya summons them to help him during a battle with Pain. Jiraiya speaks to both of them very respectfully, whereas most other toads he treats as his equals. Although Ma and Pa constantly bicker over such things as dinner and Jiraiya's immaturity, their combined efforts are enough to defeat three of Pain's bodies.
Known Toads
- Great Toad Sage (Leader)
- Shima and Fukasaku (Sages)
- Gamabunta (Boss)
- Gamakichi
- Gamatatsu
- Gamaken
- Gamahiro
- Gama
- Gerotora (Key Toad)
- Gamariki (Anime only)
- Kosuke (Presumed deceased)
To date, five people have signed the contract with the toads. Of these five, only the last three are known. They are, starting with the most recent signer:
The latest summoner of Toads, Naruto didn't usually summon them unless he needed Gamabunta (which ticked him off). However, upon Jiraiya's death Naruto become a sage through their methods and became more proactive with them. Naruto is highly respected among them since their leader foretold him as a "Prophesized One".
- Minato Namikaze (Deceased)
Nothing is known about Minato's relationship with the toads but apparently he was well-respected among them. His only known summons were Gamabunta whom he called to help him fight the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and Gerotora who holds the key to the seal of the Nine Tails on Naruto's stomach.
- Jiraiya (Deceased)
The most frequent summoner of the toads, Jiraiya's techniques mainly consisted of toad based abilities. Jiraiya's nickname was even "The Toad Sage". The toads had a cordial relationship with Jiraiya, often making fun of him despite their great mutual respect. It is hinted that his perversion is the root of their jokes.
- Masashi Kishimoto has stated that there are a number of different types of toads; the toad that appears on the cover of volume 13 of the manga he states to be a Shaolin kung fu master. He hopes to be able to draw many of these toads for the duration of Naruto.[1]
- Sakura is shown to be terrified of the toads, however she can still work with them.
