The 12th release of the series "Maaref" overlooked everything happened in the Arabic interactive digital space, such as codes, forums, pages and Facebook groups in 2010.
The book also documented all the directions, and raised issues that have occupied the Arab youth attention and Arabs in general, during this interval year, from the social, political, economic, service fields and others. Therefore, the Arabic reader may touch some current or expected change features in Arab world, through the users' options.
This is the ninth release by ATF monthly "Maaref" publications. It is written by the Lebanese journalist Walid Noueihed. The book deals with the life of the distinguished Arab philosopher, with all its personal, political and social failures
The book focuses on the philosopher's self conflict with regard to his dedication to acquiring knowledge and learning and hard adaptation to difficult working conditions and bread-winning, in addition to being cornered by the contradictions of the Sultans of his era. This is further worsened by the loss of his family in a shipwreck and his consequent three-year isolation following his dismissal from the judiciary. The author narrates all these stories and other with a view to bring Ibn Khaldun closer to new Arab generations introducing this distinguished sociologist.
by Gamal Ghitas and a team of researchers
The book's byline "study in digital communication as a tool for Arab culture development" is the eighth edition of ATF "Maaref" monthly series. It is written by Gamal Ghitas, a computer expert and editor-in-chief of "Loughat El Asser" magazine, assisted by a team of researchers.
The book highlights the strengths and weaknesses of Arab digital culture in terms of production and consumption. It explores information technology in Arab world and the infrastructure of Arab digital culture among diverse social groups and digital cultural levels. The book also introduces the tools used by the Arab digital audience in communication and interaction. The importance of Ghitas' highlight gains momentum at a crucial time in the development of Arab digital culture influenced by the continued blowing winds of technology.
After "China Road: Scientific View to Development" and "What happened in China: Dreams of One Hundred Chinese", follows "Innovation: Our Way to Success", the third book about China. This book includes a series of lectures delivered by specialists in innovation in the fields of industry, commerce and technology. These lectures have been compiled by Ya-qin Zhang Microsoft Global Vice President and Zhang Weiying, Dean of the Guanghua School of Management of Peking University.
The lectures focus on the Chinese innovation concept and significance, for it is a continuous process that needs persistence, and for it also constitutes the basis of sustainable development for the company in the time of economic globalization. This clearly highlights the Chinese perspective about "innovation", saying that it is the responsibility of each individual in society.
"Maaref" is a monthly series of books issued by the Research and Studies Center of the Arab Thought Foundation. The series began issuing after His Royal Highness Prince Khalid Al Faisal President of the Arab Thought Foundation launched the Research and Studies Center in the month of December 2010. This series books offers knowledge materials, ranging from Arabic and translated books of cultural, intellectual, comprehensive and humanitarian topics, and distributed in Arab markets at nominal prices.
The Arab Thought Foundation has launched the book entitled "State of the World 2009" translated into Arabic, which is a new release issued in collaboration with the French Foundation "la Découverte". It is also the second edition after the "State of the World 2008" translated by the Arab Thought Foundation, in the context of its cultural project, series "one civilization", dealing with the translation of books related to the development thinking issues.
The book is a unique encyclopedia in its comprehensiveness, all its subjects and the prevailing international trends. It offers a comprehensive view of the reality of the world, the changes taking place at all the political, economic, social, technological, environmental and diplomatic levels, in addition to studies and statistics. The book was the cooperation result of a group of researchers, academics and specialists, and it included 52 analytical research articles, addressed to different Arab and international topics. The articles included data and tables only published by the Arab Thought Foundation in order to enrich the book and inform the reader, and these tables covered the rates of development for the year 2008 and for the past ten years. The articles were distributed on five central themes: new international relations, economic and social issues, communities and human development, environment and modern technology, and regional challenges. The Arabic version included about 192 digital tables, composing a full and updated database for the year 2007-2008 for each of the States, citing the website's "Encyclopedia of the State of the World". These tables also included the demographic field (population, population density, annual growth, fertility index, child mortality, life expectancy, the proportion of urban population). It includes the social cultural field dealing with the indicators of human development, the number of doctors, the proportion of illiteracy, the expected number of years of education, the proportion enrolled in both secondary and university education, the proportion of Internet use and the number of books published in each country. The military field included the number of actual air, land and sea military forces, while the economic field included different indicators, such as the sum of the total GDP of the countries, the annual growth, the GDP percent per individual, the investment rate, the proportion of GDP research, the inflation rates, the expenses of education and defense, and the value of total external debt ... etc., as well as the indicators of foreign exchange rates, which addressed the terms of import and export and the most prominent importing and exporting countries…, etc.. The Professor of political sciences at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris, one of the main authors of the "State of the World", Bertrand Paddy of French nationality, wrote in the book an intervention entitled "A world in trouble: No change in total change". He discussed the tensioned situation in the world and the highlighted problems facing the new millennium. He focused on the institutional crisis that manifests itself by reducing the role of the state and put it away from the social, educational and cultural field, and stripping it of its sovereign attributes and concomitant lessening of the value of the state and the idea of public work itself. He also turned to the loss of the new conservative credibility, and considered that the doctrine of the "democratization" did not find convincing outlet, and that the gap between thought and reality is widening, indicating that the inability of producing new insights and thinking reform led the international game to a stalemate. "State of the World 2008" had brought together a rich variety of figures, tables and data achieved by countries in the world of the rates of development in the human, cultural, educational, economic, and commercial fields. It also contained a collection of studies and deep research written by a number of specialists on the most important issues and events of the year 2007, and it also included a number of important topics counting: international system, World Bank, Russian ambition, climate, desertification, drugs, Euro, digital age, environment, emerging powers, China's economic strength, health and environment, in addition to data and tables that keep pace with rates of development in the countries of the world in the year 2007.
The fifth edition of the book series "Maaref" (Knowledge) is a scientific book, dealing with a subject which is still in its infancy, the nanotechnology. This post-industrial science, which is still in its early outburst, constituting almost a concern to the developed scientific communities in the whole world, because of what is hoped of its revolution in the transfer of human to another time and another space, with all dimensions at the level of, for example, energy production and conversion, development of electronic industries friendly to the environment, sciences of space explores and discoveries, production of renewable solar cells, and fuel hydrogen, as well as fulfilling prominent unprecedented services in the fields of medicine, pharmaceutical industries, means of proven treatments for malignant diseases and chronic problems, such as eradicating cancer cells, re-up sight of the human person ...
as well as what this technique can brought about a revolution in the fields of agriculture, double crops, drinking water treatment and purification in a manner retaining necessary minerals... etc. In addition, the author of the book is concerned to review the most important achievements related to the works on nanotechnology components, from Arab scientists living in their own countries and deployed in the world.
It releases the situation report of the dialogue of cultures in the world, which is a periodic report issued every four months, and it discusses the content of the report at a seminar, combining a group of Arab and foreign thinkers and intellectuals. The station "Euronews" is doing the auspices of the Observatory activity.
This unit shall undertake the task of selecting seminars or meetings or workshops related to research projects for the Arab Thought Foundation, as well as the task of providing the appropriate speakers for every occasion.
It aims to translate the most important releases of development thought from international to Arabic languages; in addition to the translation of the ancient and modern Arabic Thought to foreign languages, in the context of intercultural communication.

Trend Alert: Loungewear
Until fairly recently, the term loungewear was synonymous with nightwear, and not something you would be likely to apply to fashion – at least not the sort that you'd wear outside the comfort of your own home, or at best a furtive early-morning dash to the corner shop. So the sudden popularity of soft, oversized casualwear might require a bit of a mental adjustment. Keep an open mind though – any trend that can successfully combine style with comfort has got to be worth persevering with, right?
Obviously going to work or meeting a friend for coffee in your actual nightie is still going to raise a few eyebrows, so the first questions you should be asking are what exactly is loungewear, and how can it work for you? The key to the look is soft fabrics and loose fitting clothes. Women's tops are a good place to start; where previously you might have worn a luxurious long polo shirt with smart jeans, now you can pair them with some equally comfortable lounge pants and still be on trend!
On the other hand, don't be fooled into thinking you can get away with throwing on any old thing and calling it a loungewear look. The line between stylish and slovenly can be a thin one, and too many baggy clothes can be very unflattering. The key rule of thumb is this: baggy top = skinny pants, or vice versa. This will create contrast and ensure that your outfit isn't too shapeless.
In addition to the comfort element, another advantage of the loungewear look is that it really lends itself to creative layering. So you could wear a more fitted women's top over some tracksuit trousers or lounge pants, and then wear a casual summer jacket over the top. This all-in-one loungewear ensemble from Buffalo is a great example of how to hit the trend.

Two companies charged over a gas explosion in Auckland that killed a worker and caused another to lose his legs will face a two-week defended hearing next year.
Canadian mother-of-two Philomen Gulland, 48, died in the blast in Onehunga on June 4 last year while working for Watercare, an Auckland Council controlled organisation.
Gulland's colleague, engineer Ian Winson, lost both his legs in the explosion and several other workers were injured.
The Department of Labour confirmed in November last year it was prosecuting Watercare and one of its contractors, Canadian Pacific Ltd.
Watercare and Canadian Pacific Ltd have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Watercare faces three charges under the Health and Safety in Employment Act and Canadian Pacific faces two.
The charges relate to the duty an employer faces to keep its worker safe and ensure they are not exposed to hazards. If emergencies arise, there must be procedures in place to deal with any incident.
Other charges relate to the employer's duty to make sure that no action, or inaction, by any employee puts any other person at risk.
Lawyers for both parties appeared at the Auckland District Court today and entered not guilty pleas.
The hearing is scheduled to start on September 2 next year.

The new Web Urbanist continues to be edgy and interesting
Pillow-fighting Santas
This is the sort of thing you'd expect to see in an arts-friendly city like Providence: Spontaneous Urban Gatherings: From Subway Parties to Pillow Fights.
A popular article on unusually legal street art prompted some of our readers to inquire about organizing or attending flash mob events. The internet has, fortunately, made the organization of these urban events a whole lot easier. However, flash mobs aren't just about gathering at a store to stare at a carpet.
And I learned a new word: Parkour and Free Running: Amazing Urban Acrobatics and Building Jumping.
Parkour, at Wikipedia:
Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement (English: the art of displacement) is recreational activity of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — and can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Male parkour practitioners are recognized as traceurs and female as traceuses
Parkour emphasizes efficiency of movement, while free runners focus on fluidity and elegance. Parkour has its origins in gymnastics and martial arts, combining movements from each and applying them to urban settings. Free running evolved as an offshot of parkour, adding elements of harmony and style to basically strict utility....many people have seen parkour in movies without realizing the stunts are being performed without digital editing or other behind-the-scenes trickery. Know of related links or resources? Feel free to add them below!
It's interesting to watch the movies there knowing that this isn't Hollywood bonebreaking-for-pay but "an art or discipline that resembles self-defense in the martial arts."

Do you spank your child?
There's long been a vigorous debate about whether this is an acceptable form of punishment, but relatively recent studies tend to suggest it is not in most cases.
The more spanking, the lower the child's cognitive ability four years later. |
For example, new work by sociologist Murray Straus indicates that children who are spanked have lower IQs. The research considered spanking on both a national and an international level.
In the United States the researchers studied 806 kids aged 2-4, and 704 kids aged 5-9. They were give IQ tests initially, and then tested again four years later.
When tested four years later, IQs of the children aged 2-4 who were not spanked were 5 points higher than the IQs of those who were spanked. For the children aged 5-9, the IQs of the unspanked group were 2.8 points higher.
Internationally, Straus also found that, the higher the prevalence of corporal punishment in a country, the lower the country's average IQ.
Clearly there are confounding issues here. Poorer countries (and families), where corporal punishment is more likely to be used, may tend to have lower IQs anyway. Nonetheless there may be a relationship between performance on IQ tests and spanking.
Another large, recent study
(see abstract) of more than 2,500 toddlers from low-income families determined that spanking had a detrimental effect on their behavioral and mental development.
The scientists found that children who were spanked at age 1 tended to behave more aggressively at age 2, and did not perform as well as other children on a skills test at age 3.
That is not to say that all researchers believe spanking to be a societal evil. Psychologist Robert Larzelere, of Oklahoma State, did an analysis (see abstract) of a large number of corporal punishment studies and concluded that spanking was harmful only when it was severe, or the predominant form of punishment.
And of course, social conservative organizations such as the Family Research Council offer vigorous defenses of spanking on their Web sites.
The argument from these groups is that spanking is an acceptable form of punishment for children between the ages of 2 and 6 years when milder disciplinary measures, including time out, simply do not work.
In any case, almost no one believes spanking under two years of age is a good thing.
As a parent I've been fortunate that time out has been an adequate form of punishment when my two girls have acted up. I definitely am glad that I haven't had to resort to spanking as a punishment.

Cotton Candy and Chocolate: Defined Pastel Makeup Tutorial (using I Nuovi Dusts)
Pastels are all over the place this season. But more of us love pastels than pastels love us, as it's not always the most flattering color-group to wear around the eyes for those with high-color (dark hair, darker skins, etc) and flatter eye contours.
For this eye look, I'm using pastels that are so pale they are almost icy, and the application is actually very straightforward, as it hinges mainly on the chocolate powder liner to bring everything together.
You just need to arm yourself with eye shadow shades similar to the ones swatched above. It doesn't matter if it comes in loose or pressed form. The only thing to be careful about is that if you are using loose shadows or very sheer pastels, apply an eye shadow base before you begin.
- Pale pink
- Pale Turquoise
- Deep chocolate brown
Step 1: The thick winged liner. This is MUCH easier to do with powder shadow than with gel or liquid, and you just need a firm angled brush to stroke from outside in, to gently create the wing. There are many brown shadows around, but pick a shade that is matte or semi-matte, to stand out against the pastels better.
Step 2: Layer a pale turquoise shadow over the outer half of your lids. Then repeat using the pink on the inner halves, extending down around the inner corners slightly to brighten the eye area.
Step 3: Finish by applying another layer of brown shadow thinly as a liner at the lash line. This gives the brown more depth close to the lashes, while the bit that has pastel blue and pink shadows layered over it has a bit of sheen.
Then finish with black mascara on top and bottom lashes.
On the cheeks, go for a hot pink blush instead of a pastel. This keeps everything edgy instead of being just pastel everywhere. I used Shu Uemura P Red 14 Blush but any intense pink will do.
On the lips, go with a blue-based pink like Great Pink Planet (what I wore here) or if you're afraid of getting trolled, you can always use Saint Germain (left-most swatches) to go with the shadows!

From PLATO to Neo … the Myth of the Cave
An engaging mix of seminar and movie clips
in celebration of World Philosophy Day!
The Cave is much more than socio-political allegory … it is a living symbol of the journey of the awakening of consciousness. It teaches the Path of Freedom – walking our destiny, overcoming our limits, battling our scattered mind. The Matrix shows the crossroads – are we going to choose a complacent, comfortable life, or will we dare to traverse the path of self-mastery, the surpassing of doubts and fears, bringing to life our dreams and aspirations?

Lollapalooza wasn't only for the big stars. A lot of up and coming new bands and new artists made their collective big time festival debut at the event. One such artist is Helena. The India-born, Los Angeles-based 21-year-old newcomer has a lot to say. Her unusual life so far has provided heartfelt lyrical grist for the songwriting mill, inspiring the fanciful, synth-driven pop songs she's conjuring up with producer Sandy Chila for her debut album for Warner Bros. Records. We caught up with her before her set at the BMI stage to see what she had planned for the festival, her album and the method behind her writing.
I can't really put it into words. Everything just looks fun and it's outside and the weather is great. It's awesome.
I spent a lot of time in India so it's hot there. Actually performing, I just did my first small festival, BloomfestLA, which was in downtown L.A. That was pretty hot and I was wearing all black and now I'm wearing all white. Hopefully that will help.
I'm going to be doing "Sunlight," which is our first digital release. After that, all original songs and a cover of Miike Snow's "Black & Blue."
I never was into covers before and they said I should do a cover because it's really fun and it's something familiar. I like Miike Snow and a lot of bands from Sweden and that area.
My music is cinematic. What I see I transcribe it and put it into poetry and it's emotion that makes an image.
A lot of imagery. I'm inspired by a lot of myths and folklore, so that kind of inspires it a lot, like personal challenges and weaving them into gold.
It's really awesome. It's like my first gift to the universe. Hopefully next year it will be out. It's like a baby, you feed it and give it water, then it gives back to you.
There's a place called The Violet Hour, which is a dresscode/cocktail bar that's kind of Alice In Wonderland-y. Also, this really cool bookstore called Myopic I'd like to check out. I want to go to Wicker Park and Buddy Guy's Legends, which is a jazz club here that he actually hangs out.
It's just starting now. I can only hope that things will grow and hopefully a lot more songs will come out so people can hear them.

RIT names UMass assistant Jake Coon as new head coach (Updated 9/18)
Updated 9/18 12:55 p.m. The coaching carousel is coming to a close — former Boston Cannon goalie Jake Coon has been selected as RIT's new head coach, the school announced Wednesday.

Inside Lacrosse Interview: Zack Greer on signing with Reebok and the upcoming NLL draft
Long Island Lizard Zack Greer just finished with the MLL season, but there's no breather. Earlier this week, he signed a new contract with Reebok to create his own line of equipment and he's got the NLL draft to attend next Wednesday. But he found some time to talk with us on a podcast, where we caught up with him about the deal, the draft and his Twitter (ZackGreer88) habits.

NB Zip Championship Weekend: Q&A with Barrage coach Tony Resch
How did it feel to be named Coach of the Year for the second time?
It felt great, but while it's always nice to be recognized, I like to think of this award as more of a team award. It's an award that can only be given to me if the team does well. If it wasn't for these guys taking care of business on the field then I wouldn't have been voted coach of the year. They are the ones who put in a lot of the work behind receiving this award.
Is there a secret to the amount of success that you have had in Philadelphia?
At this level there is a ton of talent on every team. I like to think of a team as being a sum of its parts and the parts are the players. The players on the team are great guys who go out every game and give it their all. Plus, at this point most of the guys on the team are veteran players and know what to expect from the league. I have an amazing core group of guys to work with which is great, especially with everything we had to deal with this year. A younger group might not have responded as well to the chaos of traveling for every game.

Quint Kessenich's MLL Power Rankings: July 21st
All-Star Week was met with enthusiasm in Denver as the West surprised the East in a game that featured incredible playmaking. The All-Stars departed from the Mile High City inspired yet tired, their focus shifting back to tenuous playoff races.
Four games were played last weekend with only one real shocker - Chicago winning handily Sunday over an LA team that was on a roll. Other winners were Denver, Boston and Rochester. With three weeks to go in the regular season, there's no wiggle room for teams in contention. It appears as if eight wins will secure a playoff berth...seven and a tie breaker advantage will be needed.
Four teams have played themselves out of contention - Washington, New Jersey, San Francisco and Chicago are toast. Six teams will fight for four post season slots. Both division champions and the top two remaining records will advance to Championship Weekend August 23 and 24th in Boston. Semifinal #1 and the championship game will be seen on ESPN2 live in HD.
MLL Weekly: Boland, Lochte, Casey, Martin, Loftus
Boland traded before deadline
In the waning moments of the MLL trade deadline Tuesday evening, the New Jersey Pride traded midfielder Kevin Boland to the Washington Bayhawks for a fifth round pick in the 2009 Collegiate Draft.
Boland, in his fourth year in the league, is an offensive-minded midfielder and should compliment the Bayhawks' leading-scorer Kyle Dixon at the position.
Boland is the third midfielder Washington has traded for this season, after acquiring Jarett Park and Hunter Lochte in a June trade with the San Francisco Dragons.
A member of their 2005 MLL championship team, this is Boland's second stint with the Bayhawks.
This season, he has just one goal and two assists in two games with the Pride. His best year was 2007 when he netted 15 goals and eight assists in eight games with New Jersey.
Boland will help replace the offensive production of midfielder Bill McGlone, who the Bayhawks gave up for Park and Lochte. McGlone had 10 goals and one assist in six games for Washington when he was traded.
The Bayhawks are averaging 13.86 goals per game this season, fourth worst in the MLL. They face Rochester this weekend.

Park's Place
After one game, Jarrett Park's presence in Washington's lineup already is paying dividends, according to GM Scott Hiller. Park and fellow midfielder Hunter Lotche were traded for middie Bill McGlone and Washington's third round pick of the 2009 supplemental draft on June 23.
Park recorded two shots on goal and one groundball in Washington's 14-13 loss to Philadelphia.
"Jarrett played very well in his debut. He had a couple of shots he just missed. He really provides a spark in transition, something we didn't have before the trade," says Hiller.
Also, for the second time this season, the Bayhawks faced a weather-related delay, and it came at a most inopportune time. Washington had scored five consecutive goals when the game was stopped for lightning.
Earlier this year, the Bayhawks were awarded a 14-11 victory over Rochester in a game that was shortened for rain.
"The timing wasn't great," says Hiller of the most recent delay. "But [a delay] affects both teams and I don't really think it generally affects the outcome of a game."
With a bye this week, the Bayhawks' next opponent is Rochester on July 12.
"Obviously, we need to win a lot of games to be where we want to be by the end of the season. That next game against Rochester in two weeks is going to be a do or die game for both teams," said Hiller.

Choosing the right medical supplies starts with properly outfitting your bathroom and home and car emergency kit with first aids basics, then supplementing with products to manage any specific health needs. Too often, essentials aren't replaced after being used up, and a minor cut or burn causes a panic because simple home medical supplies aren't available. Stocking up on medical supplies online means you're prepared for accidents and minor illnesses as well as better health management. If you are a caregiver, it is especially important to check on medical supplies in your loved one's home and to properly outfit them if they downsize to a new home or senior residence.
Medical supplies also include devices that allow you to better manage specific medical conditions at home. Once you have buying guidelines from your medical team, you can choose the right home medical supplies online to be sure you have all recommended items:

This morning, on CBS's Early Show, One Life to Live's Bree Williamson and The Doctors's Travis Stork were on hand to announce the nominations for the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. All My Children, General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and last year's champ The Bold and the Beautiful got the biggest kudos as nominees for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. And Agnes Nixon will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. Well deserved, if you ask us.
General Hospital led the daytime drama field with 18 nominations, including acting nods for Sarah Brown (Claudia), Julie Berman (Lulu), Bradford Anderson (Spinelli), and Jonathan Jackson (Lucky). The Young & the Restless followed up with 16 nominations, while As the World Turns and One Life to Live took 13 each. Guiding Light, which ended its run in September, still scored nods for stars Crystal Chappell, Beth Chamberlin, and Zack Conroy. The Bold and the Beautiful is once again nominated for Best Drama Series, the award it won last year.

I think That the nominations were good this Yr. Sarah Joy Brown is the best actress out there She is wasing her amazing talent On B&B . I enjoyed some of it but pretty much she is not The best Character on there. I want her on Gh again. Im glad Drew Garret Got a nomi. for his time being on being there. Congrats to all the Fab Winners!
I think sara brown is wonderful and I loved her as carly too but I love the new carly as well
I cant believe that Allison fro ATWT got nominated. If anyone
shold be nominated it should be Liberty, since she's had lots to
deal with and allison just got on my neves.
Some of you people are MIND-BOGGINGLY ridiculous!!! First of all, anyone who has the GALL to refer to Sarah Brown as a horrible actress is blind, dumb, deaf and stupid. She's a MARVELOUS actress that I would place in the same ranks as Erika Slezak and Robin Strasser. She can do comedy, drama and all nuances in between--and do them damn well!!!! You wanna talk about CRAPPY actresses, I can give you at least a dozen....but I won't!! Not now, anyway!!! Sarah ain't one of them!!!!Please stop bad-mouthing this excellent actress who has THREE Emmys on her mantle!!
Secondly, WTF is AMC nommed for Best Writing/Drama? Does the Academy not realize that he damn near destroyed AMC, and his stories were the WORST ever written in this show's 40-year history??!! Much worse than McTrashy's ever were. Also don't get why Ricky Paull Goldin and Bobbie Eakes were nominated. They did nothing that seemed Emmy-worthy!! Kinda confusing.
Sooo glad for Julie Pinson, Beth Chamberlin, Michael Park and Drew Garrett!! I will be seriously pissed if at least 2 of these actors don't win. They are clearly the best in their respective categories. Drew needs an Emmy, an apology from GH and ABC Daytime, and for them to admit that Chad Duell SUCKS---followed by begging and pleading for him to come back, the more shameless the better!!! LOL!!!
Wish that Peter Bergman and Michelle Stafford would PERMANENTLY remove their names from the Emmy ballot. Both are Emmy hogs who take away valuable space that could be devoted to other people who seem to NEVER make the list---like GH's Laura Wright!!! Both need to go home, dust off their Emmys and get over themselves. Ditto for Anthony Geary. Enough is enough. I hate watching the same self indulgent actors walk away with the trophy year after year. Glad Christian LeBlanc didn't get nominated this year. His win last year was an abomination. Backburnered for most of the year, and got one "special" episode that got him the win. Love Christian, but he also needs to go home, dust off his Emmys, and never submit his name again!!! Stop hogging the spotlight!!!!!!!!
Really wish that GH had been nommed for Best Writing. It is FAR more superiorly written than B&B or AMC combined. What crap has these voters been smoking????
Lady-dee77 Claudia role was a waste of money she had no personality and her acting is way over the point needed.My comment is what took G/H so long to get her off
Sarah Brown is not a good actress out of all they had to choose from I find it to be an insult to the rest of g/h ladies.
I do not like Carly, but Laura Wright is one of the best actrees that I have ever seen.(Movies, and TV) I do not think Lucky( BUT I LOVE HIM) should have been nominated he has not been on there long enough nor has Michael. Claudia being nominated has to be a type-o For real why her? Christina is also a wonderful actress .Diane I agree w/everyone she is #1 Please give her more roles, keep her around . Her and Alexa make the show really funny when they are together. Good luck Lulu and Diane. Dante should have been nominated. I love the whole cast of G/H Best in all daytime soaps.
Congrats to Carolyn Hennesy aka Diane Miller on GH! Now, as I said before GH People when does she get her contract! This woman deserves contract status not reoccuring!

By Will De Nardo, Music Correspondent
The end is nigh for Manchester's most unique music venue as it prepares to re-open its gates for the very last time, with a run of acts that will have clubbers pining for more dirty beats before it closes its doors for good at the end of December.
Tomorrow night the Warehouse Project kick starts its final season at its Store Street home with what it claims to be its most star studded run of acts to date.
Branded 'the beginning of the end' the opening night will feature sets from Warehouse Project residents Skream and Hudson Mohawke which will be topped off by a headline performance from turntable veteran DJ Shadow, live from his Shadow Sphere: an on stage sphere, with visuals projected onto it, from which he performs
Daniel Coultas, 23, from Fallowfield, said: "I actually can't wait for Saturday night, this is what I live for.
"It is a huge shame that the lads at Warehouse Project are bringing this to an end, it's such a unique concept and something Manchester should be proud of.
"I've no doubt they've got something up their sleeve though and we'll be seeing them again soon."
New to the bill this year is Manchester DJ XXXY, who will be performing three shows over the coming months. In a recent interview he said: "I've been quite a few times as a clubber and the line-ups are really big, the space is really impressive, the atmosphere is fantastic.
"It has given people a chance to show themselves off live, with people doing live or DJ sets that they wouldn't normally, and that's interesting to check out."
Also gracing the stage this year at the UK's annual electronic music Mecca, will be Mercury Prize nominee: James Blake (26 November) as well as Calvin Harris, Jamie XX, the Horrors, Aphex Twin and the Foals who all make up part of the 250+ acts that aim to make the final Warehouse Project season one of epic proportion.
The underground car park, below Piccadilly train station will host 34 nights from now until 1 January, before the ominous brains behind the Warehouse Project pack up and no doubt move on to pastures new.
To mark the end of the five-year stint at its Store Street home, Warehouse Project is throwing a 17-hour party on New Year's Day, featuring 15 house and techno acts.
As far as the future of the Warehouse Project goes those involved aren't giving too much away, organisers have said: "Exactly how, where and when the Warehouse Project will return is not yet set, but one thing for sure is that this is The End of Store Street."
In a recent interview Warehouse Project's Kirsty Smith said: Our plan is to keep evolving. Coming to a new home might mean the club takes on new forms, and planning for venues to be temporary means it's a new experience for regulars.
"There's no point moving on if you're not going to change something for the better."
So while the future of the Warehouse Project seems to be promising but uncertain, it is clear that its time spent in Manchester has had a profound effect on the people who live here.
Amré Basama, a Warehouse Project regular, explained: "Warehouse Project represents access to some of the best and up and coming artists on the electro house scene at my doorstep with an atmosphere that fits perfectly.
"I'm gutted that it's closing down, it's going to be hard to replace a scene like the one they've created."

While we can't say for sure that the majority of grown ups carry around lunch boxes, we also can't be certain that the young kids of the current generation are as big a fan of Star Wars as certain adults are. In either case this R2-D2 lunch kit should appeal to adult fans who probably just want to collect it, or for kids who probably think that it's just another robot.
Made 100% out of PVC and PEVA linings, the R2-D2 lunch kit is said to use "superior quality" closed cell polyethylene foam insulation which is supposed to help keep food fresh. It's also reportedly easy to clean, but the kicker here is not what the lunch kit is made out of, but rather what it can do.
At a push of a button, the R2-D2 lunch kit is supposed to light up with and produce sound effects, both of which we're thinking (and hoping) will stay somewhat faithful to the original colors and sounds produced by R2-D2 that we remember from the movies. Unfortunately it does not specify what batteries are required to power the LED lights and the sounds.
Coming in at $14.99, it's an inexpensive collector's item for Star Wars fans, and also an affordable way for your kid to bring his/her lunch to school and making them the coolest kid in class.

Cart culture |

Page 2 of 3
The city requires that non-food cart owners follow standard procedure when setting up their businesses: They must register, attain vending permits, pay city and county business license and income taxes, and follow zoning and building codes. But since they don't have to pass health inspections like their counterparts in the food industry, no government bureau keeps watch over them — or has an idea how many exist. Loren Guerriero, community outreach coordinator at Mercy Corps Northwest, says the market has yet to determine whether the cart model is viable for non-food enterprises. "A lot of these new non-food carts have yet to be tested," he says. "The majority of businesses fail within the first three years, and many of these carts started in the last three years." Owners cite the desire to stand out in a market saturated by the same types of businesses as a primary reason for going mobile. "I wanted a hook," says stylist Robin Carlisle, who opened the Holiday Hair Studio salon last March in a pink and silver Kenskill trailer on Southeast 28th. "I thought if you can do food in a cart, you can do hair in a cart." Her scheme worked: the novelty of the hair-in-a-cart idea attracted the attention of publications ranging from the Portland Mercury to New York magazine to the Apartment Therapy design blog, and within eight months, she'd amassed 200 regular clients — a feat that would have otherwise taken four to five years. In February, Carlisle moved into a brick-and-mortar salon half a block from her former parking spot. "Having the cart first was the only way I would ever be able to have a full-on salon like I have now," she says. |

Some employers have embraced the use of employment arbitration agreements as a way to manage and mitigate the rising costs, risks and liabilities associated with employment-related claims. Historically, employment arbitration agreements require employees to present employment-related claims, such as employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, harassment, or claims for wages or compensation to an arbitrator, in lieu of proceeding to court.

Don't you usually get a store credit coupon?? I am missing one pack of blanks and it says "-1" on my shipping slip and the item is circled... in the past I've always received an email with store credit (which I really don't like at all).
I really wish they'd just taken the 30 seconds to call and ask if I'd rather substitute an item. I'd rather take another color of carts than be shorted.

A workstation that is tightly integrated as between Red/HP/and Adobe would be a dream system for posting Red footage.
Windows 7 is stable, works well, and doesn't get in the way of your creativity.

It'd be super-cool if we could get those 5.25"-mounted RedMag readers on their own. One less thing to plug in and take up desk space...
Yeah these are a bit pricey if you want all the upgrades. Is it worth it... Only your budget can tell you that. I mean yeah it will slice through 5k, but does the ole' budget have room. I know everytime I think about buying a new workstation, I want to buy a new RED product instead. I can't seem to nail down a stopping point.... Oh wait, there isn't one...lol!

By Sally C. Pipes, Investor's Business Daily
As Republican leaders in Congress prepare to talk turkey on the federal budget with their Democratic counterparts in the aftermath of the election, it's time for everyone to face a hard truth — we must end Medicare as we know it.
The entitlement is bleeding to death. Without major changes, it won't be around for the next generation of seniors.
Medicare covers approximately 50 million seniors today. But the mass retirement of the Baby Boom generation is just beginning, and skyrocketing health care costs have made the program's finances unsustainable.
According to Medicare's trustees, the program's main trust fund will run out of money in 2024.
President Obama's signature achievement of his first term, the Affordable Care Act, actually makes Medicare less viable in the long term. According to the Congressional Budget Office, ObamaCare will cut Medicare by $716 billion over the next decade but without any structural reform of the program. Some $400 billion will be carved out of reimbursements for health care providers.
As a result, the administration's own Medicare actuary estimates that roughly 15% of hospitalization facilities serving Medicare patients will become unprofitable. Seniors will quickly see their health care options dwindle.
The president also slashes Medicare Advantage (MA), a part of the program that empowers 13 million seniors today to buy coverage from private providers. The assault on MA is no doubt motivated by Democrats' hostility to market-based reforms of any kind in the program.
Never mind that Harvard economists, including former Obama advisor David Cutler, recently found that MA can provide the same services as traditional Medicare for 87 cents on the dollar.
The president's other "cost-saving" measures are already proving to be ineffectual. According to the Commonwealth Fund, 75% of hospitals want nothing to do with ObamaCare's Accountable Care Organizations, which are designed to consolidate doctors and hospitals into large groups that will be rewarded or punished by the feds depending on how well they contain Medicare costs.
And then there's the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), which, starting in 2014, will empower a collection of 15 unelected bureaucrats to make sweeping decisions about how to cut Medicare costs — with next to no oversight from Congress.
Both cost-control initiatives actually risk raising overall health care costs, as providers shift costs to stay in business. And by ratcheting down already low reimbursements, ACOs and the IPAB will make finding a doctor even more difficult for seniors. Already, 52% of doctors have limited the number of Medicare patients they'll see.

I passed through downtown Whittier today and loved its quaint small-town atmosphere and appearance. I also noticed so many interesting food establishments. Any suggestions for the next time that I visit and will have time to stop and eat?
I have tried many of the eateries along Greenleaf, but still haven't been wowed. My search continues...
Please be specific as to what you tried on Greenleaf. Also, downtown Whittier consists of much more than just Greenleaf Ave, did you try other places nearby?
I still haven't gotten over there, but have read very positive reviews of the Malaysian food at Golden Triangle. You should have no trouble finding the reviews with the spiffy new search engine.

Fran Lebowitz once said, "Los Angeles is a large city-like area surrounding the Beverly Hills Hotel." Truer words have never been spoken.
Since the hotel opened 100 years ago, the pink palace (albeit it was originally white) has become one of the most iconic and legendary landmarks in this city. In fact, it was built before the Hollywood(land) sign was even erected.
Marilyn Monroe, Howard Hughes and Elizabeth Taylor are just a few of the stars that called the mysterious Mediterranean-style building on Sunset Blvd home. The BHH also features some of the city's best restaurants: The Cabana Cafe, The Fountain Coffee Shop and of course, The Polo Lounge.
In honor of their 100 years, browse the Beverly Hills Hotel's memorable history below:

Well, folks, I guess that this is the first time that I really feel unwelcome,
on this fansite for Avril, after almost five and a half years of dedicated membership.
Why do I feel unwelcome? Simply because it would be rather inappropriate, for a person
of my age to join in a "Rated R" forum, with all the young people around.
Maybe those who are under seventeen; should get together with the older members, and
form 'the Unwelcome Club'; since the trend around here, now seems to be to divide
people into cliques.

I'm not worrying about other people feeling uncomfortable about me joining a
'Rated R' forum; I am more concerned about me feeling 'out of place'.
Don't you think it would be creepy, for people of over thirty years of age, to
be sharing overtly, explicit sexual talk and provocative photos, with members

The Bible says what?
Yesterday while we were learning the boys' memory verse for Awana – yep I am raising two procrastinators – nothing like learning the memory verse hours before church – Evan's speech issues really took over.
You see, I haven't mentioned it for awhile, even though I did promise to keep you posted on the speech decisions for Evan, Evan has been going to an amazing speech therapist for several months. He has made great strides in his speech. They have a game plan to fix his "L" first, then "th", and finally the "R" sound. He is pretty much finished with the "L" and "th". Even though he has made amazing progress, we still are working on those sounds in every day conversation, because of the habit it has created. He is able to correct himself on the "L" and "TH" if we inform him that he just said an "L" or "TH" word. The other thing that has come from it is that when in doubt (when a word doesn't sound correct to Evan) he self corrects by adding an "L" to the beginning of it. Most of the time putting the "L" in front makes the word not a word, you know like "rooster" would be "looster", which immediately he hears it not correct.
But yesterday was the most challenging speech lesson as of yet.
We were learning Psalm 33:4 – For the word of the Lord is right.
Now say that to yourselves as if you are a child who, up until a month ago, had all "Ls" and "Rs" make the "w" sound. Go ahead, I'll give you a minute…
The first attempt:
"The word of the word is white"
As you can hear and see, in this instance, his speech problems did not make nonsense words. All words are correct making the verse sound silly.
Evan does an amazing job with synonyms and definitions when someone can't understand what he is saying. So immediately I changed the verse to make more sense to him to see if he could correct the verse on his own. "The Bible is from God and it's correct/true."
Okay let's try it again:
"The Lord of the Lord is light"
So this time he used that ol' standby of putting "Ls" in front of all the words he couldn't say correctly. And again, all the words were words although the sentence made no sense.
Then it progressed to:
"The word of the Lord is light"
Okay, getting better! At least the sentence makes sense although incorrect.
We practiced for 10 minutes at least, and if you have a child with speech problems, you know 10 minutes is eternity for them. By the end, he was frustrated and tired. I was able to squeak out one correct verse, not all the words together but each individual word on it's own.
"Mom, I know the verse, will you leave me alone now."
"Okay Evan, you have done an awesome job trying to say it correctly! And you did! Just to make sure, can you say it for me one last time."
"Fine mom, For the word of the word is white."

TALLAHASSEE -- A trio of constitutionally questionable measures and legislation designed to crack down on no-fault auto insurance fraud are among about 150 new Florida laws going into effect Sunday.
A law that bans state and local governments from hiring companies that do business in Cuba and Syria already has been challenged in court and a federal judge has at least temporarily put it on hold.
Gov. Rick Scott's administration earlier announced it would not put into effect a second new law allowing random drug testing of state employees until a legal challenge to a similar executive order issued by Scott is resolved.
Another statute that permits inspirational messages, including prayers, in public schools has drawn threats of lawsuits. Legal action, however, may not be necessary to negate the law because it gives local school boards the option of implementing it.
"Nobody's going to do it," said Wayne Blanton, executive director of the Florida School Boards Association. "We are telling them it will be costly and not worth the effort."
Some of the other laws with July 1 effective dates would enlarge Scott's power over state rule making, restore tax credits for renewable energy and expand online learning for elementary school students.
There are also tax breaks for businesses and new laws that increase penalties for human trafficking and video voyeurism. Another law will require student-athletes who suffer head injuries to be pulled from competition until cleared by doctors. The state's new $69.9 billion budget also goes into effect.
The changes to auto insurance affect the state's personal injury protection — or PIP — coverage. Since 1972, Florida motorists have been required to buy such coverage to make sure anyone injured in a crash gets money to treat their injuries without delay. A driver's insurance company is required to pay up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages no matter who is at fault.
Bogus claims and faked accidents, though, are largely responsible for a $1.4 billion increase in PIP costs since 2008, state officials say.
The new law puts a 14-day limit on seeking treatment after a crash. Benefits also are capped at $2,500 unless a doctor, osteopathic physician, dentist or a supervised physician's assistant or advanced registered nurse practitioner determines there's an "emergency medical condition." Chiropractors cannot make that determination.
After the inspirational messages law was adopted, local school districts were warned by the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida that adopting policies permitting student-led inspirational messages would "very likely lead to prolonged litigation." Any district that adopted the measure could be on the hook for hundreds of thousands in legal fees.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State also is prepared to take legal action, said Alex Luchenitser, the group's associate legal director. The law doesn't use the word "prayer" but it still invites government-controlled prayer, Luchenitser said.
"I don't think it's going to happen," said the ACLU's Florida executive director, Howard Simon. "For all of the efforts of our Legislature to try to entice school officials into joining their religious crusade, school officials are smarter than legislators."
The law's sponsors, though, remain confident it will be implemented. Rep. Charles Van Zant, a Keystone Heights Republican who carried the bill in the House, said some school officials have told him they'll push for allowing inspirational messages but he declined to identify them.

Join Us Thursday in Washington . . . with Some Very Special Guests
By Steve Ralls on 04/12/2011 @ 11:45 AM
On Thursday, a Congressional "who's who" of champions for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families will join Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) as he reintroduces the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA). We'll be on Capitol Hill, with Congressman Nadler, urging lawmakers to support this critically important legislation that would end discrimination faced by LGBT binational couples.
If you live in the Washington area, we want you to join us, too. We'll be gathering at the House Triangle, at 1pm, to show our support for UAFA and our families. (The House Triangle in on the southeast side of the U.S. Capitol, and is accessible via Independence Avenue.)
If you're in D.C. on Thursday, please plan to be there. You can RSVP at Facebook. Bring your signs, bring your families and bring your friends.
Congressman Nadler, who serves as Ranking Member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, will be joined by Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Immigration, as well as Congressman Mike Honda (D-CA), the lead sponsor of the LGBT-inclusive Reuniting Families Act and Representatives Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), John Conyers (D-MI), Jackie Speier (D-CA), and Jared Polis (D-CO).
Immigration Equality's executive director, Rachel Tiven, will also be on hand for the event, along with four very special guests: Shirley Tan and Jay Mercado, and their twin sons, Joriene and Jashley.
The Tan-Mercado family (pictured) made headlines around the world – and in People Magazine – when Shirley faced removal from the United States after being detained by immigration. Despite the fact that Shirley and Jay – who is an American citizen – have been together for more than two decades, their family was faced with the very real possibility of being torn apart. Joriene and Jashley – who are also U.S. citizens – also faced the possibility of losing their mother. Today, Shirley remains with her family, through a private bill introduced on her behalf by Senator Dianne Feinstein.
As the family will recount on Thursday, however, Shirley's private bill is only a temporary solution that offers no permanent promise for keeping their family together. For the Tan-Mercado family – and thousands of others across the country and around the world – UAFA offers the only permanent option for ending the separation of our families.
Shirley, Jay, Joriene and Jashely will provide powerful testimony – and a timely reminder – about the critical need for UAFA at Thursday's press event. And, during their visit to Capitol Hill, they'll be personally asking lawmakers to support its passage.
We'll post more information on UAFA's reintroduction here on the blog as that becomes available. And, if you haven't already taken action to urge your elected leaders to co-sponsor the bill . . . click here, and do so now!
