During a concert this week in Latin America, music group LMFAO had to leave the stage and cut their performance a bit short after a fire broke out.
LMFAO, known for the hit dance tracks "Sexy and I Know It" and "Party Rock Anthem", had to be taken off the stage when a fire erupted on stage at the Coliseo Nacional de Ingenieros in Tegucigalpa, Honduras Thursday.
The fire it believed to have been started by electrical lines that had overheated.
After the show was halted, LMFAO member Redfoo (born Stefan Kendal Gordy) took to Twitter saying, "Epic concert tonight!!!! Everybody in Honduras, we set the place on fire!!!! #sorryforpartyrocking."
Though local reports stated that around 15 people were treated for smoke inhalation, no one was seriously injured.
When a fan on Twitter asked Redfoo what happened, he responded, ""They told us there was a fire when we were on stage. Then we went to the dressing rooms and there was smoke in the halls."
Though he initially joked about the situation, he added, :"On a serious note, hope everybody is safe from the fire tonight! Love you Honduras!"
LMFAO's hit "Sexy and I Know It" recently knocked Rihanna out of the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. They'll be shufflin' in the new year in Las Vegas at Haze nightclub.
Th group is made up of DJs Redfoo and his nephew SkyBlu. Redfoo is a former day trader and is the son of music mogul Berry Gordy, founder of the Motown record label.

Using a range of strategies, positive approaches and rewards will have a positive impact on behaviour on a day-to-day basis. However, one of the key factors in getting sustained good behaviour is ensuring that your students are fully engaged with the work that they are doing. There are many factors that can contribute to mis Learning outcomes The learning outcomes for this unit are: exploring the links between lesson format and learning styles; examining quality lesson delivery and its links to good behaviour; experimenting with new and innovative approaches to planning and teaching. References 6.3 Meaning in action and interaction Earlier in this unit you considered the importance of manipulating and articulating information in order to understand it. This kind of behaviour is at the heart of constructivist and social-constructivist theory. The idea that we learn and understand what we are able to organise and make sense of is not just a theoretical viewpoint, as the next Activity demonstrates. 6.1 Knowledge and society If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants. Sir Isaac Newton (Letter to Robert Hooke, 1676) At the foreground of this final part of the unit is one of its more important themes – that knowledge is something held, developed and perpetuated both by and in the context of communities, societies and cultures. Newton's declaration to Hooke (above 4.4 Summary In this section, you have had the opportunity to work on some mathematical activities yourself. This should have enabled you to: reflect on how you approach mathematics and what helps you to work on a piece of mathematics; remind yourself of those pieces of mathematics that you can work at successfully; identify aspects of mathematics that you can strengthen as you work through the later blocks of this unit; 4.2 Knowing mathematics How much mathematics do you think you know? You may feel that you know quite a lot, or that you are 'out of practice' and have forgotten much of it; or perhaps you were never very secure in your mathematical knowledge and feel that you did not achieve complete understanding. Primary teachers are expected to have a confident knowledge of mathematics. You are not expected to reach such a level for this unit, but you do need to know a fair amount.

We will also address your own personal knowledge in the subject. Like any other activity, doing and learning mathematics involves: using and adapting existing knowledge; acquiring and constructing new knowledge through thinking and learning; building up links that enable known t 3 Language, mathematics and science in context In the opening part of this unit we argued that, as human beings, we are constantly engaging with the world through mechanisms called 'ways of knowing', and that three important ways of knowing are language, mathematics and science. Although it may be easy to see what makes language, mathematics and science different from each other, in real-life contexts they are rarely used in isolation. We tried to show this by using shopping as an example of an everyday activity that can involve all t 2.5 Communicating with language It has been suggested that our 'linguistic competence' (Chomsky, 1965) consists simply of the ability to construct 'well-formed sentences'. The sociolinguist Del Hymes (1979) considered this notion to be far too narrow, and proposed the term 'communicative competence' to account for speakers' ability to use language appropriately.

There are many possible theoretical positions which can be taken towards early years curricula. Some people, for example, think of children as 'empty vessels' which can be 'filled' with knowledge that is transmitted to them by adults.

Yesterday's events, while tragic, highlight beautifully how endless and draining the "War on Terror" will be for our nation, if continue to buy into the mentality. It's the "War on Drugs" all over again.
Since it's inception, we've thrown trillions into the "War on Drugs" with little to no avail. Because even if we stop 99% of the product coming into the country, the other 1% gets through to those who are demanding it.
The same thing is occuring with the "War on Terror." Even if we stop 99% of the threats to us here on domestic soil, it just takes that 1% to get through and the result is what you saw yesterday in Boston.
It's a sham. Get rid of the DHS as clearly no matter how much we spend on it, we will still always suffer an event like the bombings in Boston. Make the FBI and CIA do their jobs and save money.
There are not many things we agree on, but we sure have some common ground here.

Greek Hopes Rest on Solar Power for Economic Recovery
Greece, perhaps more than any other country in the EU, has been the worst hit in the Euro-zone crisis. However, the Greek Prime Minister has declared that renewable energy investments will prove to be crucial to the country's recovery.
According to Business Green, the country has even touted an investment of €20bn in solar which is part of the government's plan to deliver 100 percent of its energy needs through renewable sources by 2050.
PM Lucas Papademos, who recently spoke at a renewable energy and infrastructure development summit in Athens, said that investment in green energy was a "national priority" to boost economic growth. Project Helios is the Greek government's massive initiative to ramp up solar power production from 206 MW to 2.2. GW by 2020 and up to 10 GW by 2050. The country is aiming to become the EU's largest exporter of green energy.
The government hopes that this plan will attract the investment needed and Greece can then transform itself into an exporter of solar power and help other EU countries to meet their renewable targets. Greece's Energy and Climate Change Minister, George Papakonstantinou, also launched a draft renewable energy plan which will ensure that the country meets EU targets to deliver 80 percent emissions cuts by 2050.

Jason Brown left Tuesday for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in San Jose, feeling confident and surprisingly relaxed.
"I'm just relieved finals are over," said Brown, a junior at Highland Park High School. "Now I'm excited for nationals, to go out there and see what happens."
The country's top skating competition, which every four years determines the Olympic team, opened Sunday and builds toward this weekend's finals in ladies, men's, pairs and ice dancing competitions.
Brown trains at rinks in Highland Park, Northbrook and in Buffalo Grove, and on Saturday spent nearly three hours at Twin Rinks Ice Pavilion in Buffalo Grove, polishing his short and freestyle programs in preparation for nationals.
"My main focus is to stay focused and deliver two great programs," he says.
Brown is coming off a Junior Grand Prix circuit where he won the gold medal last month in Quebec and is the top-rated junior skater in the world. Beat reporters covering the sport call him, "the future of figure skating."
In fact, he has medaled at every level, says his coach, Kori Ade of Northbrook, including the juvenile, intermediate and novice levels, and last year he placed in the top 10 during his first senior level competition at nationals.
"I'd be very pleased if he places at or above where he finished last year at nationals," Ade says of Brown's ninth place finish. "The field of men is tough. There are a lot of U.S. men skating right now at a very high level. Jason will have to step up and do everything he can do."
He has in his arsenal every triple jump, except the triple Axel, and even a triple jump combination, which earns bonus points in the new scoring system.
"Everything he does, he does well," Ade says, "and that means he scores a lot of points."
Landing the many triple jumps scores points, she says, but their value increases if they are done well. The same goes for other components in the programs, including spins, footwork and transitions, all of which Brown does well.
But his biggest strength going into the high-level competition, she adds, is his work ethic and attention to detail.
"He's a consistent competitor, but he's also consistent in practice," she says. "He has this sense of precision that has led to his good jumping technique.
"The hours and hours of practicing," she adds, "have allowed him to develop that consistency in competition."
That consistency helped him deliver a clean and polished program at the Grand Prix finals, when others fell, and he hopes to follow it up this week at nationals.
Still, both he and his coach acknowledge that without the triple Axel in his routines, he won't earn enough points to medal. But that's OK, they say, as they cautiously hope he builds momentum in the senior men's division leading up to 2014, when they select the Olympic team.

Residential Students
Residential life at GMVS provides a healthy, supportive environment for boarding students in four buildings – Clark House, Witch's Hat, Poundcake and the New Dorm. Dorm parents strive to create a close-knit family within each dorm. They supervise the day-to-day activities and act as advisors to students within the house. Evening quiet times during the school week are observed to create an environment conducive to productive study and sleep. Though meal times are regularly scheduled during the week, our creative cooks vary the eating plan on weekends. They may have international theme nights, arrange for Sunday night sundaes, offer brunch or, if most students are away racing, allow those on campus to choose a meal.

The Math Emporium is located at the University Mall and houses over 500 Macintosh computers.
Most freshmen take their required math courses online, and quizes and exams are done at the Empo.
But, you are not alone. At the Empo, students can get help from qualified instructors as they work through the lessons and take practice quizes. Placing a red Solo cup on the top of the monitors signals a need for assistance, and the next available instructor will come to help. Tutoring and weekly review sessions are also offered.
The computers are also available for use unrelated to math. The center is open 24/7 (except during academic breaks), so it is a popular place for students to work on homework. Part of its appeal is that it is off campus with free parking.
The easiest way to get to the Empo without a car is by bus. The U-Mall Shuttle, University City Blvd., and Toms Creek routes all service the shopping center. During peak hours, which are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at least one bus will leave every ten minutes.
Students going for late night study must keep in mind that no drinks are allowed without lids, so choose a resealable energy drink or put it in a different container. Food is absolutely prohibited.
After hard work at the Empo, many students reward themselves with other treats the mall has to offer. O-Pass Tea and Crepes sells bubble tea and crepes, and the Sushi Factory offers affordable fish.

Am I the only person who opens a can of pumpkin and then scrambles for ways to actually use it…? I never thought I'd say this but, I'm getting quite sick of pumpkin oatmeal and pancakes. I can't complain, though, because I've been inspired to produce delicious creations like this.
Pumpkin ice cream is easy-peasy to make. The process is exactly how you'd imagine it to be.
First, put a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream in a bowl and microwave for 10 seconds. Next, trust your eyeballing instincts and add a big spoonful of pumpkin along with generous sprinkles of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
Then implement your childhood ice cream soup-making skills.
Place bowl back in freezer for at least 10 minutes before digging in or transferring to a prettier bowl. Add toppings of your choice.
Clearly I've been looking for excuses to use these fall-ish sprinkles *cough* impulse purchase *cough*. There could be worse problems
- How do you use up leftover pumpkin?

Version tested: Xbox 360
Battlestations: Midway has lived in the "flawed but promising" file ever since its release back in 2007. A peculiar hybrid of real-time strategy and shooting action, it tasked players with commanding various US naval forces through pivotal World War II scenarios.
You could direct your ships and planes from the tactical map, or prod a button and be instantly transported to the pilot's seat of a fighter or the artillery guns of a battleship. It was great in theory, but the reality was less enthralling due to a catalogue of clunky grumbles. The single-player campaign was truncated, the lack of checkpoints made long missions a real chore, the tutorial was tiresome and the multiplayer was too slim.
The good news is that all of these complaints have been addressed by the sequel, which picks up with the US Navy pushing towards Guadalcanal, their eyes fixed on the Japanese mainland. Not only is this scenario considerably more fleshed out than in the brief original, but it's joined by another parallel campaign in which you play as the Japanese, rewriting history as you emerge victorious from engagements that led to defeat in the real world. Opening, rather boldly, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, to which you contribute, it's a welcome addition and one that pretty much doubles your single-player options.
Checkpoints have also been added to the missions, although the game is still tough enough that you can easily lose 20 or 30 minutes of progress should you fail, and, rather bizarrely, there's no option to restart from the last checkpoint within the game. You can jump back into a mission halfway through from the main menu, but restarting from the pause screen forces you to start over from the beginning. Discovering this the hard way, right near the end of a particularly lengthy encounter, was not funny.
Multiplayer has also benefited from a few blasts from the gameplay pump. Whereas before you got a series of maps, but only one game mode to play on them, there are now a decent spread of ways to play communally. Escort games find one side protecting a vessel while the others try to sink it. There are also competitive and co-operative modes, where you play on the same side, trying to either top your ally's score or work together for victory. All modes are playable as single-player skirmishes as well, so you can get some practice in, or just enjoy a standalone confrontation outside of the main campaign path.
More impressive, however, is Island Capture. This new mode takes advantage of one of the game's new features - the ability to send landing craft to capture ground installations - and the result is fantastic. Played on large, generous maps, these matches can be epic, with up to eight players battling to take and hold key locations, each of which bestows a gameplay perk. Take over a radar outpost, for example, and you get the option to recon the entire map. It's in this mode that the game's future potential seems to lie, offering a compelling naval complement to the sort of air and ground action found in DICE's Battlefield series.
The plodding tutorial has also gone, though this isn't exactly a good thing. It may have been overlong and off-putting, but at least it left you more than ready to tackle the unique challenges of directing battles at sea. Now we get nothing more than a practice mode, in which you can fart around and shoot down dummy enemies, but while this lets you fumble your way to an understanding of how the controls work, it does nothing to instruct you in the tactical nature of the game. Fine for a shooter, in other words, but a bit useless where strategy is concerned.
This rather obtuse nature was another of the original game's sticking points, so it's a shame that all the progress made in enhancing the options available hasn't resulted in a more obvious gameplay overhaul. In pure play terms this is, more or less, the exact same game as last time and the learning curve goes through the same awkward trajectory. First there's annoyance and confusion at the lack of guidance and the multitude of things you need to keep tabs on. This melts into grudging admiration once you get a handle on things and realise that there are some seriously cool ideas at work here, even if the execution sometimes seems to be going out of its way to stop you noticing them.
Too many missions involve hauling flotillas of ships sloooowly across the map, before swapping to a shooting gallery to take out your target. Also too common are illogical restrictions on what you have to work with, confining you to a single squadron of planes or one submarine for what amount to rather dull shoot-'em-up sections. The occasionally brilliant missions, the ones in which you're finally free to flex your tactical muscles and really make full use of the various cruisers, destroyers, battleships and carriers, serve as breaths of fresh air that are hugely engrossing but ultimately remind you how stifling the single-player campaigns can be.
The hybrid between action and strategy remains a curious one as well. Most of the time you're able to clinch victory just from the rather bland and rigid tactical map, so the option to hop into the thick of things feels more like a chance to blow off steam than a military necessity. Weapons payloads restock over time, so those keen on realism will have to stick to the multiplayer, where you can switch off such arcade contrivances.
The AI is mostly excellent, which is handy since the options open to you aren't particularly deep. Direct a unit towards an enemy and they'll use the appropriate weapons for the job. Direct them towards a friendly and they'll protect it from harm. Pop in and out of a fighter en route to target and it'll automatically get on with following orders when you skip to the next. All's well and good, except when the AI isn't up to the job, and it's then that you feel the guiding hand of the developer forcing you to do things its way.
One US mission asks you to destroy the beachhead fortifications of a Japanese outpost within a time limit. Even though there's a vast invasion force on the map, including an aircraft carrier, you're granted only a solitary squadron of three fighters to do the job. Do this from the tactical map and you're guaranteed to run out of time. The AI pilots do things by the book, and waste precious minutes tracing wide arcs to circle around for the perfect strafing run for each target. You're left with no choice but to grab the joystick yourself, and given the immense tactical possibilities presented by all the friendly units in the area, being forced into dogfighting feels like an intrusion rather than a thrill.
The game is full of missions like this. A later one sends you after an armoured train, but only in a fighter with a machinegun, even though you had rockets moments before. Why? Because it makes the mission harder. Even though there are clearly other tactical options on the table, you're once again forced to jump through videogame hoops rather than find your own solution.
Graphically the game has improved noticeably, though it won't be troubling any of the benchmark titles. The water effects have predictably received a lot of attention, with undulating waves and transparent shallows. The damage models are also impressive, and in the midst of a raging battle it's genuinely exhilarating to trace a distant enemy plane with your AA cannons and then watch the smoking wreckage plummet into the sea. Such falling debris can cause damage, so it's more than just a cosmetic effect. The lighting is often lovely as well, whether it's used for atmospheric rain-soaked night missions or dazzling dawn raids on sun-kissed islands.
It's not perfect though, with some obvious v-sync tearing and chugging frame-rates accompanying the more impressive displays. Some of the animations also let the side down (witness the way your plane simply vanishes if you crash) while the immersive cockpit views are rather spoiled by the dials and details being nothing more than static images. It's hard to believe you're actually a flying ace when the altimeter is painted on and the joystick in your virtual hands isn't moving.
Battlestations: Pacific still has much to recommend underneath the flaws, much like its predecessor. It's an often clumsy and over-ambitious enterprise, one that can wow you with a pirouette and then slip over on a banana skin in the same mission, but the pleasures it does offer are enhanced by the knowledge that it's still the only game offering them. For all the dozens of gritty, growly WW2 shooters, this is still the only one that seems interested in the fascinating and unique challenges of naval command. It may not deliver those challenges with the aplomb and polish you'd hope, but it's hard to begrudge the attempt.

Working with the concept of museum displays and the way in which significance of meaning, history, science and fact is represented and deployed, Truscott and her dancers explore the existential pockets that emerge out of the act of curating or choosing scenes, excerpts or examples to be represented as significant. Importantly, however, she creates work that resides in and evolves out of the rigor and oddness of our imaginations so that the final performances truly didn't exist before. Created in collaboration with David Neumann, Natalie Agee, Carmine Covelli, Neal Medlyn. >>>>>>>

Inspired by several trips on the New Jersey Turnpike and musing on the dubious relevance of modern dance, Truscott places disparate and incongruous elements in juxtaposition to create surprising revelations. Along the way she attempts to confound herself and her dancers into a state of heightened awareness by making the hardest dance that absolutely anyone could do.

LENZA Mkhatshwa of Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, is the second recipient of a donated outfit in Sowetan Live's Matric Dance give-away
Mkhatshwa's entry was submitted by her sister, Lolo, the family breadwinner, who told SowetanLive she could not afford to buy her younger sister an outfit for her matric dance.
Lenza picked a pink and black Thula Sindi original, sponsored by Penny Lebyane, with black heels, courtesy of Melanie Bala.
"I'm grateful to my sister for entering the competition," Lenza said. "This is the first pair of heels I own. She is the best sister ever.
"Thank you so much to the celebrities who have sponsored the outfits. This experience has definitely boosted my confidence."
In her entry, Lolo said: "My sister is the third of four girls and she has so much to deal with. She cooks almost every day, she cleans, she does everyone's laundry and anything you can think of.
"We are quite a big family and live in a limited space. This means she can't study properly and has to wait till everyone goes to bed before she can study."
Lolo works at an insurance company and takes care of eight people - her parents, three siblings, her child and her sister's two children, before taking care of her own needs.
"I'm 23 and the only breadwinner. It's hard. I never attended my matric dance cause my mom didn't have money hence I entered my sister. She deserves this opportunity."
The family lives in a three-roomed house and sometimes Lenza has to wake up at three in the morning just to study because it's quieter.
Although Lolo didn't have the chance to go on to tertiary studies herself, she has encouraged her baby sister to apply for a loan in order to be able to enrol for a Law Degree.
"I was the first one to get a matric certificate; I want Lenza to go beyond matric to secure a better life for herself and the family."
- Outfits are still pouring in.
Anele Mdoda, Thandi Matlaila, Scandal!, Pam Andrews, Thandi Masondo Owner Fashion Studio Collections in Rosebank, Nolo Phiri, Khabonina, Spitz and Vusi from The Divas Hair salon are among those who have pledged their support.
If you are a deserving matriculant or know of one, you can send us an email at email@example.com. Don't forget to include your dress size and the date of your matric dance.
is hard to be a breadwinner, i feel for this lady, congratulations to Lenza study hard girl u can make a difference to your family and help your sister.Report Abuse
Matric Dance = to girls getting pregnant, that's how I got my first baby.........No to matric dances, hlala ekhaya wenaReport Abuse

'I'll be right back' he says. 'Just going round the corner'. And here we are months later.
Well, a fair bit of time has passed since we last spoke. We lost a bassist/guitarist, gained a guitarist, did a show for the kids, played on an island, shot a video, chatted it up with CBC's Vish Khanna, dug for records, cracked some brews, travelled up north, stayed out late, got up early, damn near caught a cold at a Tiger Cats game, made new friends, wrote new songs, hung out with stand-ups, drunk a load of tea and most recently released a free to download new EP.
Please allow this collection of tastefully (and occasionally drunkenly) shot candids to bring you up to speed. (To Be Continued…)

30 CFR 22.7 - Specific requirements.
§ 22.7
Specific requirements.
(a) Design.
In the determination of adequacy of design, the following points will be considered: (1) Materials used, (2) construction, (3) accuracy, (4) size and shape, (5) range of detection (or indication), (6) life of the active parts, and (7) attention required. The suitability of the materials and the construction shall be determined by preliminary inspection, by dropping tests, by laboratory and field tests in gas and air mixtures, and by the general behavior of the equipment during the investigation.
(b) Safety against explosion hazard—
(1) Detectors.
Detectors shall be constructed so that they will not cause external ignitions when used in gaseous mine atmospheres.
(2) Seals or locks.
All parts through which external ignitions might result shall be covered and protected adequately. All covers shall be sealed adequately or equipped with magnetic or other equally reliable locks to prevent their being opened by unauthorized persons.
(3) Glasses.
Glasses or glass windows shall be of good-quality glass and protected adequately against breakage. Unguarded windows may be considered adequate in this respect, provided they are of small diameter and are of reasonably thick glass.
(4) Battery.
If the detector is equipped with a battery, it shall be of such design that it will not produce sparks that will ignite an explosive mixture of methane and air.
(5) Detectors of the flame type.
Methane detectors of the flame type shall be subject to the requirements of the flame-lamp schedule then in force.
(c) Safety against bodily hazard.
Bodily hazard with battery-type detectors is due chiefly to possible burning of the user by electrolyte that has spilled from the battery. MSHA, therefore, requires that:
(1) Spilling of electrolyte.
The battery shall be so designed and constructed that when properly filled it will not spill electrolyte under actual service conditions.
(2) Corrosion of battery container.
The material of which the container is made shall resist corrosion under conditions of use.
(d) Performance.
In addition to the general design and safety features, MSHA considers that permissible types of methane detectors should meet certain minimum requirements with respect to their performance, as follows:
(1) Detectors.
When the detector is operated according to the manufacturer's instructions, it shall be possible to detect at least 1 percent methane in air, and increasing percentages up to 5 percent shall be shown by continuously increasing evidence.
The average number of determinations that may be made in approximately 2-percent methane mixtures without recharging a battery or replacing a chemical accessory shall not be less than 25, and the average number of such determinations that may be made without replacing any other part shall be not less than 100.
(2) Indicating detectors.
Indicating detectors shall give indications of as low as 0.25 percent methane. Detectors having an upper scale limit of 2 percent may be approved, but it is recommended that the detector be designed to give indications of as high as 4 percent methane. The indications for these percentages shall be within the limits of error specified in the following table:
[In percent] | ||
Methane in mixtures | Minimum indication | Maximum indication |
0.25 | 0.10 | 0.40 |
.50 | .35 | .65 |
1.00 | .80 | 1.20 |
2.00 | 1.80 | 2.20 |
3.00 | 2.70 | 3.30 |
4.00 | 3.70 | 4.30 |
Tests shall be made at several percentages within the range of the indicating detector and at temperatures between the limits of 50° and 70 °F. by increments of 5°. Ten determinations shall be made at each percentage. Neither the average of the 10 readings nor more than 2 readings for each percentage shall exceed the limits of error given in the table.
The average number of determinations that may be made with an indicating detector without replacement of any part shall be not less than 30, and the average number that may be made without recharging the battery shall be not less than 15.
The scale shall not be subdivided into smaller divisions than the general accuracy of the indicating detector warrants.
(3) Mechanical strength.
Detectors and indicating detectors shall be subjected to the following mechanical tests: Four of each of those parts or groups of assembled parts that are not normally strapped to the user shall be dropped 20 times on a wood floor from a height of 3 feet. Parts that are strapped to the user may be subjected to a jarring or bumping test to demonstrate adequate strength. The average number of times that any one of the detectors can be dropped before breakage or material distortion of essential parts shall be not less than 10.

Istanbul has been a cultural treasure and choice destination for about 1,500 years. However, the city changed and grew drastically after Turkey was formed in 1923, and again via waves of massive immigration in the 1970s and onward. Now with a population of over 11 million and enjoying its advantageous location on travel routes between Europe and Asia, it's becoming a cultural capital of sorts. We've collected a grab-bag of Istanpul picks gleaned from our Guardian pal Benji Lanyado as well as suggestions from Grdiskipper's Istanbul correspondents.
Benji Lanyado's Picks
Halide D: Benji's first stop on his tour of modern Istanbul is Halide D. It's a designer furniture store with the latest goods inspired by the "local design guru" Halide Didem. Pieces are mostly minimalist and geometric in design, ranging from colorful tables to apple-shaped lamps to stone vases.
180 (Turnacibasi Sokak 28): While in the shopping district of Cukurcuma, Benji finds 180, a teensy boutique with trendy clothes and modern lighting and design. He writes "I began to realise that my pursuit of a 'modern' Istanbul was a bit patronising ... if anything, Cukurcuma could teach Soho a thing or two."
Chillout Hostel: For accommodation, Benji heads to the budget-sexy Chillout Hostel, mostly because of the price (under £7 per night). He finds the lounge full of the owners' friends and family, and it also sports a quaint candle-lit cafe.
Istanbul Modern : Benji checks out the Istanbul Modern for a real glimpse at the modern side of the city. Turkey's first national museum of modern art, its highlights include video installations featured in the Venice Biennial and large prints by locals.
360 Istanbul: Benji's next rec is 360 Istanbul, a hip bar and restaurant located on the top of a 19th-century apartment building. He writes, "360 Istanbul was a festival of razor-sharp neoteric design, doused in ephemeral light filtering in through the restaurant's all-glass exterior, through which the apricot, minaret-dotted skyline rolled out in all directions." Check out our review.
Indigo: For nightlife Benji finds Indigo, the city's hottest electronic club. The line is packed with Istanbul's young and beautiful, and the party inside is wild. Everyone dances "even ... the DJ, who threw himself into the crowd during musical peaks."
Gridskipper Picks
Sonic Garden of Babylon: Contributor Christy Quirk picks Sonic Garden of Babylon as a modern Istanbul hot spot. They host all kinds of bands, from Turkish jazz vocalists to American alt-country bands to local Istanbul hip-hop groups.
Café Turco: Our friend Carpetblogger recommends Café Turco for its Turkish and American cinema posters, live music, Efes beer. "If the weather's nice, the action takes place in the alleyway."
Club Crystal: One of our faves is Club Crystal, a large nightclub complete with heated tent for the winter. DJs spin house music until the wee hours, and famous local and international DJs all stop by. The crowd is a mixture of hipsters young and old.
Buzada: Neal Ungerleider suggests Buzada as another great place to experience young and modern Istanbul. It's a large nightclub attached to three restaurants located on a private island in the Bosporus. Includes bonus swimming pool.

Often enough, Daily Candy is perfectly fine as a recycler for idea-mulch. It's all chosen on merit, after all -- "no pay for play," right? Right? How then to explain today's recommendation of the "Clear" Registered Traveler card, which has been knocking around since the summer of 2005? In a nutshell, the Clear card allows you to pay $99.95 per year for the privilege of submitting to an extensive background check. You're then issued a Clear card, which grants access to a special Clear security line at a few selected airports. (Previously you just got to skip individual post-x-ray searches.) Even with 40,000 alleged Clear members, I'm very skeptical that these special Clear security lanes are really 100% Clear-only, or that they'll be staffed at all hours. If you've bought into Clear or seen it in action, tell your story to firstname.lastname@example.com.

SLW Grants Mission Fund Grants This fund, established in the 90's, is fed mainly by the annual Mardi Gras Event which will be held February 12th of this year. It is also supported by other benefits and donations from families and friends. It was established to make it possible for the Sisters of the Living Word to engage in ministries directly addressing the SLW Mission. Grants from this fund help SLW take the Word that "frees the oppressed and brings new life" to people in dire circumstances. See more about the works of SLW Underfunded Ministries: A message from our 2011 Mission Fund Recipients Jeannine Randolph - Chicago Northwest Suburbs Thank you so much for helping in my efforts for the sick and dying. At present I am working at Rainbow Hospice as a massage therapist for patients who are on the last part of their journey home. Also, I am engaged in my education for certification towards chaplaincy work in hospice. Carrie Miller - Arlington Heights, Faith Community Homes, Program Manager Supporting the process of finding homes and mentoring families to independent life. As we go to print, Carrie is unable to send her personal words of thanks because of illness, but she is most grateful for the opportunity to continue to free the oppressed in this work. Kristine Vorenkamp - Arlington Heights, Misión San Juan Diego Director of Religious Education The Mission Grant allows the parish to provide ongoing education for catechists and religious education for all ages: a very important need in the growing Hispanic community. The people and I rejoice in the seeds of faith being planted and are deeply grateful for this grant without which Misión San Juan Diego could not do this work. Joanne Grib - Arlington Heights, Volunteer, Journeys from PADS to Hope I am deeply grateful to everyone who because of their donations to my Community enabled me to devote my time to working with the homeless poor in the Northwest Suburbs. I do this work in their name. Joanne Ginter - Chicago, Volunteer, St. Gregory High School A sincere Thank You for funds received from the Mission Grant to help support my volunteer ministry at St. Gregory High School. Veronica Hoffmann - St. Paul, MN, Volunteer , WomenVenture I prepare the curriculum books and handouts for the various classes. Thanks for your continued support of the Mission Fund Grant! Jean Krieter - Evanston, IL, Volunteer, Teen-Baby Nursery I am most grateful to you for enabling me to minister at Teen-Baby Nursery because of our Mission Grant. The infants and toddlers we care for will have a healthier and happier life because of you. This is an awesome thought to know that you are providing help which will last a lifetime! Thank you so much. Grace Rief - Chicago, Volunteer, Rush Barton Senior Living Center I am the only Catholic religious living with 140 tenants of different races, cultures and religions. With a priest in the area, I arrange monthly Masses and celebration of Sacraments. I provide prayer services, Sunday Communion Services and opportunities to grow in faith. I consider my ministry a wonderful opportunity to carry out Jesus' desire: That all may be one. I am so grateful for the Mission Grant to be able to continue to work in this area. _______________________________________________________________________ Ministry Grants Very shortly after the Sisters of the Living Word were founded in 1975, the seed of an idea began to grow. Although the number of Sisters in the community was under one hundred, there was a desire to support and strengthen a wide diversity of ministries that shared the core values of the Living Word Mission Statement. In an act of faith that moved beyond limited financial capabilities, the Sisters of the Living Word invested in other innovative ministry efforts. In 1978, the first year of the Ministry Grants, three grants were distributed amounting to $2,700. In each of the original grants, a Sister of the Living Word was to be involved in the actual ministry. By 2005, $15,000 was distributed, no longer requiring that an SLW be involved. The amount available for these grants is based on 1% of the Sisters' salaries and 1% of Development net income. 2011 Ministry Grant Application | |||||||

Title text: I was sure he was just getting revenge, but then he did the same thing to Carrie Underwood. Then he mailed me a scone. I think I'm giving up dating. |
This comic is a take on one of the typical revenge tactics in dating and in life, which is one person "keying" the car of another. To "key" a car is to drag a key across the side of the car, sometimes multiple times, ruining the paint job. Instead, our friend Beret Guy painted a really detailed key on the side of the car in his version of "keying" a car.
The image text is a reference to the song "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood, which is a revenge song which details (via wikipedia) Carrie Underwood imagining her boyfriend hanging out and flirting with a "bleach-blonde" girl, shooting pool, buying her a drink, dancing, and hoping to "get lucky" with her. In retaliation, she commits several law-breaking actions including vandalizing his customized four-wheel drive vehicle by scratching its side with a key, carving her name into its leather seats, smashing the headlights with a Louisville Slugger baseball bat and slashing all four tires. She hopes that this will make him "think before he cheats" again.
The scone is a reference to 452: Mission and 677: Asshole. Oh Beret Guy, never change.
- [Ponytail and Cueball are walking along]
- Ponytail: I broke up with him yesterday
- Cueball: That weird guy with the beret? Did he take it okay?
- Ponytail: He seemed upset. He went out to my car-
- Cueball: uh oh
- Ponytail: -and spent the whole night painting a really detailed key on the side
- Cueball: ..wait what?
- [Image of Beret Guy painting a giant key on the side of a car]
- Ponytail: Then he woke me up to ask what I thought of it. He looked really proud.
- Cueball: I ... is he playing revenge mind games?
- Ponytail: I genuinely can't tell if he remembers that we broke up.

Trauma is the branch of surgical medicine that deals with treating injuries often involving fractures. Many trauma patients are the victims of car crashes, falls from a height, stabbings and gunshot wounds. Trauma can also be caused by ground level falls, crush injuries and pedestrians being struck by a car. More than half of patients admitted to most trauma centers have musculoskeletal injuries. Providing optimal care for these patients is an essential task.
In the case of severe trauma, such as a catastrophic car crash, the trauma surgeon may be one part of a surgical team that includes vascular surgeons (to repair damage to blood vessels), orthopaedic surgeons (to repair broken bones) and other surgeons as needed. The trauma surgeon is responsible for prioritizing such procedures and for designing the overall treatment plan. This process starts as soon as the patient arrives in the emergency department.

Down East 2013 ©
By Virginia M. Wright
Excerpted from The Maine Lobster Book [2], by Virginia M. Wright, Down East Books, Camden, Maine; hardcover; 114 pages; $14.95.
Image ©IStockPhoto.com/JoeiVanVeen
A lady lobster knows what she wants, and what she wants is the guy with a reputation for toughness and strength, the guy all the other lobsters in the neighborhood fear and respect. So she woos him. She leaves gifts — urchins, mussels, sea stars — at his front door. When she has his attention, she boldly moves in. And once they are better acquainted — a few days perhaps — she shimmies out of her tight suit of armor, exposing herself in all her soft, naked vulnerability. Summoning her strength (molting is an exhausting affair that leaves her limp as a strand of seaweed for nearly an hour), she raises her antennae to fondle her mate's rostrum, the hornlike projection between his eyes. He reciprocates, his own antennae roaming eagerly over her body. Using his legs, he gently rolls her onto her back and deposits capsules of his sperm into a pocket on her abdomen.
"She's just using him in a way," Diane Cowan, a lobster biologist and founder of the Lobster Conservancy, says wryly of this crustacean courtship. "What she really needs is a safe place to molt. In science talk, they call it resource defense polygyny, where a male is defending a resource that the female needs."
Indeed, once the female's new shell is sufficiently hardened, she moves out, having no further use for her mate. Chances are good his sperm will go to waste because, if she is young, the female could well molt again before she releases her eggs, shedding the sperm in the process. Or, she may inflict the ultimate snub, jettisoning her ex's sperm packet into the briny blue should she meet a suitor she fancies more. (Pity not the male lobster. Stud muffin that he is, he likely took on a new housemate soon after his erstwhile partner's departure.)
All of which is surprisingly complicated behavior for the creatures we in Maine have nicknamed "bugs," not only for their creepy-crawly appearance, but also for their brains — or rather, their lack thereof. Lobsters have primitive nervous systems similar to those of insects, which suggests they are no smarter than a grasshopper. Yet these ancient members of the arthropod class of animals (invertebrates with segmented bodies and exoskeletons of chitin) continue to reveal previously unknown facets of their lives to scientists like Cowan, who has devoted all of her adult life to studying lobsters. They also are capable of acts of cunning.
Consider, for example, University of New Hampshire zoologist Win Watson's stunning 2003 underwater video that shows lobsters of all shapes and sizes treating a baited trap like a drive-through restaurant. Ninety-three percent of the lobsters that enter the trap gorge themselves on the salted herring, then find their way out, prompting Pat White of the Maine Lobstermen's Association to tell the Christian Science Monitor, "It's pretty discouraging to think that we, as intelligent human beings, have been trying our best to harvest this thing that has no brain to speak of and they're outsmarting us. But it may be that part of the success of our fishery is due to the fact that our traps are as inefficient as they are." (Watch Professor Watson's videos [3])
Commercially fished for 150 years, the American lobster, or Homarus americanus, dwells in the North Atlantic from North Carolina to Labrador and is most plentiful in the Gulf of Maine. Lobsters lead an itinerant lifestyle, determined by the seasons. Late spring and summer finds them dwelling in warmer waters inshore ("warm water" in Maine is fifty-two to sixty-two degrees). Come fall, they migrate to the deeper waters fifteen to forty miles offshore, which is why most Maine lobstermen don't fish in winter — getting to where the lobsters are is time-consuming, bitterly cold, and potentially dangerous.
Let's skip the debate over which came first, the lobster or the egg, and return to our lady lobster, who, for the convenience of this narrative, is still carrying her lover boy's sperm when she spawns, an event that occurs about once every two years. As she squirts out her eggs — ten thousand to one hundred thousand of them, depending on her age and size — she also fertilizes them by simultaneously releasing the sperm packets. Attaching the eggs to the underside of her tail with a sticky substance produced by her swimmerets, she carries them for nine to twelve months while they develop. Should a Maine lobsterman catch her during this period, he cannot keep her. Instead, he must cut a small V-notch into her tail fin and throw her back into the sea, and as long as she bears that V-shaped scar, she cannot be sold, even if she is caught not bearing eggs. As a fertile female, she is worth more to the fishery alive and making babies than fetching a few bucks as someone's dinner.
When the eggs hatch, the lobster releases them by fanning her swimmerets. The tiny flea-like larvae spend the next four to six weeks floating on the sea currents, shedding four times in the process. This is the most dangerous time of their lives, Cowan says, because "everything with a mouth big enough eats them." Only one-tenth of 1 percent of them survive to the fourth stage, when they look like miniature lobsters, each one smaller than your thumbnail. The small fry swim toward shore and dive to the ocean floor to find shelter under rocks and weeds.
In these lobster nurseries, which Cowan's Lobster Conservancy studies and seeks to protect, the lobsters live and grow. As they get bigger and bolder, they expand their range and move into deeper waters. It will be at least seven years before any of them reach the minimum legal size for market — 3¼ inches from the eyes to the beginning of the tail, about 1 pound. About that same time, the females reach sexual maturity. They get what Cowan calls PMS — pre-molt syndrome — when, like their mother before them, they tidy up their shelters and walk the watery streets in search of the toughest guy in the neighborhood.

Jay-Z is so inspired by this "American Gangster" movie that he not only came out of retirement (again) to record an inspired-by album, but he also plans to make his own film (Man, Ridley Scott should really be taking all of this as a huge compliment).
According to Allhip-hop.com Hova wants to make it like a rap musical (is that a first?)
"What I really plan to do is shoot [American Gangster, the album] as a movie. Like a better 'Streets is Watching.' Doing it like a musical. Real stories and get somebody in there that's [going do to]…real writing. Someone to shoot it like 'Godfather.' I know that's a little ungracious, but that's how you gotta place it..."
Really Jay? You may be biting off more than you can chew, no? Oh yeah, he also said he wants to star in said film. "Yeah, yeah. I mean, who else gonna do that shi?" J told AllHip-Hop.
