Casu Marzu (Italy)
Humans are known for their bizarre eating habits, as they are able to eat anything that is there in the food chain. Every day we explore new food sources and love to try anything. But the question is: how could someone dine on a table with an animal struggling for its life?
1) Casu Marzu (Italy)
One form of sheep's milk cheese is full of crawling white worms. It is over-fermented – in a stage of decomposition – and is known as Casu Marzu. It is a traditional dish from Sardinia, Italy that is believed to increase sexual desire.
Casu Marzu is made when the cheese fly lays eggs (about 500 eggs at one time). When the eggs hatch, the maggots (larva of the fly) begin to eat through the cheese. The soft texture of the cheese is a result of the acid from these thousands of maggots' digestive systems breaking down the cheese's fats. But see for yourself.
The most important aspect of eating Casu Marzu is that it should be eaten when these wriggling maggots are alive, or else it is full of dead maggots and is considered to be unsafe. It is also advised to wear eye protection while eating as these maggots can jump as high as half a foot, straight into the eye. Also, not only could this food cause allergic reactions and intestinal larval infection, but it may also lead to vomiting, nausea and deadly diarrhea. Still, people risk their lives to eat it.
2) Drunken Shrimp (China)
Listed as one of the top ten cruelest dishes in mainland China, "drunken shrimp" is still very popular. Known as a bachelor's dream recipe, drunken shrimp is different type of fast food that can be prepared in just 30 seconds.
Here's how to prepare Drunken Shrimp.
Most often, the shrimps are eaten alive but sometimes they are first made to get drunk and then cooked in boiling water. Another recipe idea suggests that the shrimps should be marinated in Chinese white wine, known as Baijiu, after being boiled. Either way, eating such uncooked or semi-cooked shellfish could cause the serious food-borne parasitic infection Paragonimiasis. Still, it is considered as an incredibly tasty dish.
3) Ikizukuri (Japan)
Live sashimi
In Japan, order any living sea animal of your choice from the menu or just point in front of a tank full of fish, shrimp, squid, lobster, octopus or oyster. It will be served on your table within minutes, carved but still alive and with vital organs left intact. Ikizukuri means 'prepared alive' in Japanese and therefore freshness is the key for this Japanese food art - Shashimi - where live food is served in traditional decorative fashion.
Certainly, it's a cruel practice and it needs a high level of skill to hit the fish on the head to stun and then fillet it. Fish Ikizukuri is often served garnished with lemon wedges, whereas small octopuses and squid are usually eaten whole, wrapped around a chopstick.
Odori ebi is a type of delicacy similar to shashimi in which baby shrimps, intoxicated by rice wine, are eaten alive while still jumping around and moving their legs. People who eat Ikizukuri claim it to be very tasty, but do you think this controversial method of food preparation should be continued?
4) Raw Oysters (worldwide)
Listed as 'best choice' on the seafood watch list, oysters are significantly closer to plants than animals. Like Casu Marzu, oysters are also believed to increase sexual desire and must be alive just before consumption. An excellent source of minerals and vitamins, oysters are a very popular food, especially in coastal areas.
Oysters are often eaten raw on half the shell and are in high demand. But what if I tell you that they could cause a blood infection known as Vibrio vulnificus septicemia? In the U.S. alone, at least $120 million is invested every year on Vibrio vulnificus-caused illnesses or death. So for those who love to eat raw oysters, the best solution is to eat only post-harvest processed oysters.
Those who aren't convinced can read more here. The source clearly says that 51% of people who get the Vibrio vulnificus infection will not survive. Also, 95% of deaths from seafood are caused by this bacterium. Best is to follow the slogan "boil it, cook it, peel it or forget it".
5) Sannakji (Korea)
Sannakji is a raw dish that consists of live and freshly chopped small octopuses, seasoned with sesame and sesame oil. It is famous in the Korean cuisine. But what if I advise you to chew your food properly and thoroughly, otherwise squiggly tentacles of freshly chopped octopus may get stuck in your throat and choke you to death?
Yes, it is true, because even after being served, the animal tries desperately to crawl away in an absolute revolting manner. But see for yourself in the following video...
Considered a delicacy, Sannakji is a sensational tourist attraction eaten mostly in Korea and other parts of Asia. Fresh octopus, killed by one swift blow to the head, is quite a tricky dish to eat. Each time you try to pick a piece, it will attempt to 'go its own way' and often refuse to let go of the chopsticks, as the octopi try to cling to each other. Still, Sannakji fans like to feel the wriggling, squirming, gloopy tentacles as they swallow it. How must it feel, tentacles attacking you from the inside of your stomach? Ewwww!!
6) Ying Yang Fish (China)
Another shocking and disturbing food item comes from China, famously known as 'dead-and-alive-fish' or simply Ying Yang fish. This dish is made up of a fish that is fresh and moves its head while its body is deep fried and covered with sweet and sour sauce. When you try to pick up the fresh meat dish, you'll find the fish's mouth stirring and head still twitching.
Originally from Taiwan, Ying Yang fish is now widely criticized and forbidden worldwide there, but in China, people love to eat it. I really do not understand how someone could eat a fish in pain, with its eyes staring at you, while you are about to swallow its meat. Isn't that sick and monstrous?
7) Snakes, Bats, Goat's Head Soup, Whale-meat and... What Else?
A dog meat platter found in a street market a few miles east of Hanoi.
As I mentioned earlier, humans can eat anything that is there in the food chain. Beef, pork, chicken, fish and seafood have become old fashioned food items. In Indonesia, people eat boiled bats seasoned with coconut cream. Now people are looking forward to trying something new and interesting. Eating dog, cat, tiger, horse and other pet animals is no longer challenging. So why not try whale, shark, turtle and even snake too?
Video from a Chinese reality TV show.
So, how about eating a semi-cooked snake trying to slither out of your plate? If this is not sufficient, I would like to mention two other very smelly food items. Hákarl is a traditional food from Iceland, which is actually 'fermented shark', often eaten with a shot of the local wine.
Stinkhead is another traditional food from southwest Alaska that is prepared by leaving fish heads and guts buried in the ground for about a week, in a wooden barrel.
Though in prehistoric times, humans would have eaten animals alive, what we have seen so far makes us believe that perhaps we are traveling back in time. The practice of eating food that is alive is quiet unnerving and unexpected. My personal belief is that eating an animal while it is still alive is appalling, inhuman, barbaric and totally unnecessary. It's no fun eating with a sinking heart, pale-face, with eyes wide and a churning stomach.

Piolo Pascual on rumor that he and Cristine Reyes became very close which eventually caused his leading lady's breakup with her boyfriend Rayver Cruz: "You know what, inevitable naman 'yan sa trabaho especially when you're together every day sa soap. So hindi natin pwedeng bigyan ng malice yun. And you know I've always been a friend."
Photo: Ricky GayNakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal si Piolo Pascual sa thanksgiving party ng Sun Life Financial na kanyang ineendorso kagabi, May 29, sa World Trade Center, Pasay City.
Malaking kontribusyon daw ang pagiging miyembro ni Piolo sa Sun Life family para sa tagumpay na naaabot ng nabanggit na insurance company.
Ayon kay Piolo, "No, we don't wanna brag about that. It's good that we grow together.
"And to be part of Sun Life is a huge achievement, personally and professionally, because you share in their success.
"Their success is my success, so it's good to be part of this family.
"So being number one and all because that's your target. I'm so happy that they were able to reach their target."
SUN IS SHINING BRIGHTER. Pagkatapos ng mga pinagdaanan niyang mga intriga at isyu nitong nakaraang mga buwan, masasabi ba ni Piolo na "the sun is shining brighter now"?
"Definitely as everyone can see. And the sun is brighter with Sun life... o ha!" natawa niyang sagot.
Nitong mga nagdaang mga buwan ay ipinakilala ang mag-asawang Ogie Alcasid at Regine Velasquez at ang kanilang anak na si Nate bilang mga bagong endorsers ng nasabing insurance company.
May mga nag-isip na baka pinalitan na si Piolo bilang endorser.
"No, I've always been with Sun Life. The last thing that we did was a run… that coincided with my exhibit of my work," paliwanag niya.
"So, we have to give way. I mean, you know, Regine, Ogie, and Nate are the new endorsers, so we have to give them the floor."
Sa katunayan ay may niluluto nga raw siyang proyekto ng Sun Life.
"We always try to come up with something innovative, something different.
"And now… every December. Every year, Christmas, we have something new.

REDLANDS - The Energy Lab and Lil' Bit of Sole, two businesses in the city's downtown district, have expanded to offer more services and amenities to their clients.
Formerly neighbors, both were looking to increase their space. And when a spot opened up on State Street, Lil' Bit of Sole owners Mike and Erika Eubanks filled the vacancy, leaving the former store on Citrus Avenue empty.
Instead leaving the space empty and moving operations entirely, Energy Lab owner Jill Rooks opted to take over Lil' Bit's lease and renovated.
"It was like fate," Mike Eubanks said. "It was like someone said, `This is your new spot - move."'
Both businesses went from a 1,500-square-foot space to 3,000 square feet.
And since moving to State Street, Lil' Bit of Sole has seen its sales increase and more foot traffic come through the door.
"We're doing well," Eubanks said. "December sales were double from the year before. And if that keeps up, we may need to expand to another location."
Lil' Bit opened on July 5, 2011, and sells brand-name shoes, socks, shoe-care products, accessories and toys for children.
Eubanks had wanted to open his own store for years, and after a little bit of research, his dream became a reality when the couple began looking for a location in early 2011. They wanted to settle in Redlands because of its hospitality and friendliness, they said.
"(Moving) was the best decision we ever made," he said.
With Lil' Bit seeing its success on State Street, Rooks and Co. began the expansion on the property adjacent to its fitness center.
New fresh coat of pant brightens the walls, and soon mirrors will follow.
Two giant doors that sit near the entrance and in the middle of the center open entirely so members can see inside both sections.
A new room for spin classes will see hardwood floors installed in the next couple weeks, and motivational photographs will soon fill the center's interior walls.
Outside, the center is working to install a new sign hoping to entice residents - and neighbors - looking to get fit in the new year.
Under the direction of Rooks, The Energy Lab's mission is to promote wellness through innovation, dynamic movement, and most of all, play.
Opened in May 2011, the fitness center has seen its fair share of customers and continues to grow coming into its second year in business.
With the new features added in the expansion, Rooks is hoping to not only add new customers to the center's database, but also add more classes to its roster.
Currently, the center offers cycling, TRX suspension training, pilates, yoga and more.
What was missing at the center was additional places to "play," Rooks said.
"We have a lot of classes going on, and personal training clients who wanted to train at the same time. And we brought in a few new trainers and instructors, so we could accommodate more people, but we didn't have more space. So we created this as a big open space - not any machines, but places to play," she said.
"We still want to maintain a small environment, because the essence is teaching the classes with personal trainers so we can see what people need, and how to fix and address and make sure everyone is getting the best experience.
"We still don't want to be `huge,' but we wanted to accommodate in a decent amount of space," she said.
In the coming year, Rooks is hoping to utilize the new space to its fullest potential, and possibly add another full-time employee to its roster to serve as a helper for trainers to clean and check-in clients.
"We hope to bring in more people to support (the expansion)," she said.
"It's not about working out, but creating a new community."
The Energy Lab is at 304 E. Citrus Ave.
Class schedule and more information can be found at energylabfitness.com or call 909-798-1800.
Lil' Bit of Sole is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and is at 109 E. State St.

First off: Congratulations on the release, it looks amazing.
I have just finished reading through the pdf rulebook and the lists of characters in the Squards and not surprisingly have a few questions:
Are these lists definitive or will there be expansions to follow?
What are the base sizes being used? 30mm, 50mm and 80mm?
Where does it state which base sizes for which creatures? Most are fairly obvious but what about things like "The Beast" and the different types of Rashaar. (I ask as I use magnetized square bases)
What projected timescale do you have for releasing figures not seen in the rulebook/demo pictures? Nurses, Cultists etc?

On this private tour for 2 you will haveA comprehensive full day tour gives you a unique chance to admire the most splendid palace and park ensembles of the 18th century, former summer residences of the Russian tsars that are considered to be exquisite monuments of Russian art with a worldwide reputation, The Palaces of Catherine & Peterhof Park
Catherine Palace - Designed by Rastrelli, the ornate Baroque Palace is over 1,000 feet long and features an ornate blue facade. Gold onion domes crown the palace's north end, the site of the chapel. A gallery of Greek and Roman heroic busts decorates a covered walkway designed for Catherine the Great. Surrounding the palace are 1,400 acres of manicured gardens and parkland. Your tour visits the White Vestibule, Grand Hall, the Amber Room, the Portrait Hall, the Crimson Pilaster Room and more.
The Palace of Paul will replace Catherines Palace if your travel date is the last Monday of the month . The Palace of Paul has one of the largest landscape parks in Europe , you will get to admire the elegant rooms of Emperor Paul I as well as the great art collections .
Peterhof Park -Travel to another former summer Imperial residence. Set in magnificent gardens, Peterhof is reminiscent of Versailles. It was almost completely destroyed by the Nazis in World War II but has been restored to its full splendor. The gardens are dotted with countless fountains, charming pavilions and summer houses. Particularly impressive is the fact that the landscapers and garden designers who worked on the estate managed to overcome the unfavorable weather conditions of the Northern climate to create a lovely land of flowers and greenery. The fountains of Peterhof are one of the most famous tourist attractions in the region. The diversity of fountains in the park is surprising. From monumental ensembles like the Samson Cascade to the ever popular Joke Fountains, including one which sprays anyone who steps on a particular paving stone. When you see them remember this is all done without pumps. You will explore the Palace grounds and Gardens as we will not have enough time to tour the inside.
Your return to St Petersburg, (weather permitting) will be by Hydrofoil and takes about 30 minutes as you travel by water between Perhalf and St Petersburg. If the Hydrofoil is not running we will return via the same route use to get to the Peterholf.
St Petersburg Underground The stations are worth seeing , Many are adorned with crystal chandeliers , marble vestibules and beautiful frescoes . This was not the mode of travel for the Tsars but had the grandeur they enjoyed. This stop is time permitting.
For Lunch we will stop at places where locals would eat. Expect the average lunch will be about $ 10.00. You guide can help you with selections and money exchange if needed.
Board your motor coach for a narrated drive through St. Petersburg. Drive south of St. Petersburg to Tsarskoye Selo, passing Stalin-era buildings, modern residential apartments and dachas.

Today ASUS announced that they will be outsourcing a portion of their motherboard manufacturing to Cal-Comp Electronics. The total amount is estimated to be around 5 or 6 million motherboards out of a total shipment forecast of 24.5 million units for 2012. This is somewhat a surprise move by ASUS as they originally outsourced its motherboard orders to Pegatron and other smaller ODMs in Southern China. The reasons for the shift are unknown. Cal-Comp currently has production bases in Thailand, China, Malaysia, Brazil and Mexico and is mainly manufacturing PC peripherals and components such as printers, external hard drive and printed circuit board (PCB) as well as communication products such as set-top box (STB), handsets and Bluetooth earphones. Source: DigiTimes
I would never buy an Asus card simply because their design is not as effective as it could be and I find them to be rather ugly as well as being too large for my taste.
Yeah. I sure hope the motherboard quality stays the same. I agree with the comments on their GPUs... I never was excited about them...
Will it be possible to tell where a board came from? as in will it be possible for a reviewer to know who made the board and compare quality? I hope the quality is up to the same standard as ASUS boards have been in the past as my current board is my first from ASUS and it has taken years of abuse and increased voltages in a relatively hot and humid environment yet still runs perfectly so i intended to look to asus board reviews first when upgrade time comes.
Too. It's just like to, but has one more o. Also has a different meaning in the english language. I am being an ass, but I love you big guy.
I bet the boards will take some sort of initial hit to quality, probably not too noticeable to the average user, but it'll go back up once they've gotten settled in.
I used to only buy Asus motherboards, now I am more open to brands such as gigabyte, msi, and asrock (yes I know asus once did and still kind of has a stake in asrock)
Asus has very lil stock in AsRock, AsRock is an independent company from Asus as of last Year. Their Products have definitly changed in performance and reliability and compete even with the best Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI Motherboards out there
Don't you just love how America is NOT listed . WOW we sure have a tech industry here in America now don't we !
If components were made in the USA, do you have any idea how much more expensive they'd be? Over here they actually have to pay the workers half-decent wages. It sucks either way.
The US is actually still the largest country in terms of manufacturing, so I doubt it would be too much of a drawback. I think the major difference is we have Environmental Regulations that prevent them from dumping hazardous chemicals everywhere and such.
Don't know how to take this, but I've been buying ASUS mobo's for a while now due to the quality. If the quality goes down, here I come MSI.
Are you kidding me ? Man I do not want to get into this all but I will point out the fact that America is some how losing the tech industry for child labor and creep crap ! Made in china does NOT stand for quality ! And it pains me to see every thing made in other countries just because you can make it cheaper it just doesn't make any sense at all ! There are tons more reasons and we can go on and on and on about it . But I can tell you this I am sick of the fact that every thing in the tech industry must be made every place other than the USA !
Well, for the record, I don't exactly endorse it. It's just kind of a double-edged sword and most people are too short-sighted to care about anything other than getting stuff for cheap.

ignorance of the law is neither an excuse nor an exception. i've no doubt that mr. chung was aware of the issues involved as he has apparently run afoul of laws and regulations regarding taxi business etc numerous times before. if he wanted to act and earn as a taxi driver, then be a taxi driver and drive a taxi!
it's possible that he could not meet the requirements for a taxi driver, possibly due to his prior record. oh well, stick to your limo service then and stay out of taxi type business opportunities. or, pay the price for it.
the taxi driver has a right to expect that his business and business opportunities will be protected the same as anyone else does. taxi drivers pay a significant portion of their weekly income to their companies for, in part, just that right.
one taxi driver has no ability to defend against loss of business vs. these town car drivers that cross the regulatory line, or the rogue/gypsy taxis operating without proper licenses and or regulatory authority. so it falls to the county and or city regulatory authorities and their enforcement arms to do this. and for that, taxi drivers are likely very appreciative.
taxi drivers in general work long long hours without benefits to make a moderate income in a very competitive marketplace. illegal competition just makes it that much more difficult.
i'm just glad this article didn't show any bias in reporting.... [sarcasm off]

Salvation Army raises $90,000 from awards luncheon
DOWNTOWN (FOX19) -- The Salvation Army announced today it raised $90,000 from its Annual Civic & Awards Luncheon, marking the 57th anniversary for this event.
The event was Nov. 19 at Paul Brown Stadium, marking a change in venue for the event and hosted approximately 450 guests in the stadium's East Club Lounge.
Highlights of the luncheon included the presentation of The Salvation Army "Others" Award to the Cincinnati Bengals and the "Community Partner" Award to Turner Construction.
Katie Blackburn of the Bengals accepted the award on behalf of the organization, which was honored for its community service not only with the Salvation Army but through many other nonprofit agencies.

"We're looking for payback," said Jason Briscese, a Wolves player and co-owner of the team. "We've got a very good chance (in the playoffs)."
Briscese said the team lost to the Fury during regular-season play, 16-14, after losing starting quarterback Teddy Anderson to a knee injury.
Before that injury, the team was having a winning season, 4-2, he said, and backup quarterback Jason Winters did his best to keep the momentum going for a final record of 6-5.
If the Wolves pulled off a win Saturday, they would face the No. 1 team in the Pacific Coast Football League, the Alameda Knights.
Even though the Knights are nationally ranked and undefeated, Briscese is confident about the Wolves' chances of beating them, too, based on their regular-season encounter.
"Feeling really good," he said. "We lost to them (Knights) in the fourth quarter with a minute left. We played a good game — we should have won. We didn't finish it off at the end. Looking forward to facing them again."
To reach the playoffs, the Wolves had to defeat the Richmond War Angels in a do-or-die game Saturday, June 2, which they did by a score of 14-6.
Wolves player Cliff Brown, who co-owns the team with Briscese, said the return of their starting quarterback and an outstanding game by another Anderson, cornerback Teon Anderson, made the team's playoff run possible. He said Teon Anderson pulled in three interceptions and a 60-yard touchdown Saturday.
The key to playoff victories, however, rests in the hands of Teddy Anderson, Brown said.
"He came out last week not 100 percent, but able to play, and there was enough chemistry with the team to get us the win," Brown said. "I have confidence. The teams that beat us were without Anderson. Teddy Anderson puts up a lot of points with his leg and arm."
Other players who stood out this season, according to Briscese, included left tackle Dwayne Benton, defensive back Noel Calbert, middle linebacker Mike Hogan and running backs Dominic Miller and Carnell Williams, who each pulled in five touchdowns this season.
"This is our second year in the playoffs," Brown said. "Playing at home, it will be a lot better for us. Our fans and everything — I'm looking forward to that."

Madonna (after Omomá and Céline)
The Tropenmuseum presents the sculpture 'Madonna (after Omomá and Céline)'. This sculpture by Dutch artist Roy Villevoye was purchased in 2010 by the museum.
The lifelike sculpture represents a small black man holding a white baby. Koos van Brakel, Tropenmuseum's Head of Collections, explains why the museum bought the sculpture: "What makes this work special is te way it forces viewers to ask questions. We hope that they will try to work it out what it means for themselves.
That fits in with our ethos. While as a museum we try to tell a story, we also give our visitors the space to make up their own mind about what they see."
Roy Villevoye
Elements and people of New Guinea are a recurring theme in his work. He is interested in how culture works and how one culture develops in relation to others.
See the sculpture for yourself
Come and take a look at the sculpture and discover what it does to you and what you think when you look at it. If you want to say something about it, please send us your comments via:

Latino Activists Respond to Newt Gingrich's Immigration friendly direction
Saturday, November 26th, 2011I received a disturbing email yesterday that is being circulated of Newt Gingrich in light of his recent immigration remarks. Restrictionists, Isolationists and
Protectionist Tea Party Republicans are doing an effective job at making the "Big Tent" smaller. We are glad to see Newt raise the immigration issue because we cannot continue to ignore the large elephant in the room anymore to this regard, and with regard to the rising Latino vote that is expected in 2012. 2012 will be the year of the Latino(s). We feel it, sense it and know it.
In the last Republican Presidential debate, we heard Newt Gingrich take a moderate stance on immigration while smacking Mitt Romney for his hypocrisy at the same time. Obviously we were pleased to see Romney get a good smack as he is the one who pushed John McCain further to the right in 2007/2008 and this ultimately cost McCain the Latino vote because Latinos felt safer with (now) President Obama. If Romney would not have played the populist anti-immigrant card in 07, then McCain may have held almost 40% of the Latino vote in 2008. However, Romney demonizing Latin immigrants, and appointing Sheriff Joe Arpaio as his State chair here in Arizona caused McCain to curl up in fetal position and shy away from his McCain / Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill history.
We have systematically watched Romney be up to his old tricks again when he tried to make Rick Perry guilty for having compassion on our Latino children via the Texas DREAM Act. More importantly, it is unfortunate that Romney will not follow Mormon leadership under the Utah Compact. [To my conservative friends in the LDS community, I hope you are putting your money into Jon Huntsman who supports the federal DREAM Act.] Romney will be lucky to get 9% of the Latino vote so you may as well just hang it up with him. On the other hand, Hunstman is perceived as friendly to our youth and DREAM Act activists. Latino parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters will always support the youth, and believe me, some of us can have large families who are part of the increasing eligible voter(s) demographics.
So far and to date, it looks like Newt sees the writing on the wall. I believe he knows that the GOP is on a path to extinction because the fastest growing demographic exists in the southwest (not just Florida) with regard to the Mexican-American growth. Perhaps Newt has the best interest of the GOP in the long term sense. If Newt supports reasonable fixes to the broken immigration system, then he may be the only one out of the bunch (aside from Gary Johnson, Rick Perry and Huntsman) to demonstrate a logical approach to what is clearly broken. Unfortunately the GOP has not been accepting to Gary Johnson who has the answer to fixing the broken system and this is unfortunate. Gary Johnson is a fellow from the CATO Institute, and it does not get more free market and free trade than that.
If the GOP continues to make shortsighted moves, then their lack of foresight will cost the Party. The GOP claims to be the party of personal responsibility, and it can't have that with the likes of Congressman Lamar Smith who will do anything to minimize the future 'brown' vote with his large government ideas (national e-verify that imposes additional burdens on the small business owner), and enforcement only immigration policies. Lamar Smith needs to be dealt with to open up the airways again. Politicians like Romney, Steve King, Tom Tancredo, J.D. Hayworth, Joe Arpaio, Russell Pearce make it unpalatable for Latinos to join the Republican Party. In fact, Latino Republicans are switching to the Independent Party in droves.
The PEW did a study on the Mexican-American Boom that is taking place right now.
The Mexican-American Boom:
Births Overtake ImmigrationBirths have surpassed immigration as the main driver of the dynamic growth in the U.S. Hispanic population. This new trend is especially evident among the largest of all Hispanic groups-Mexican-Americans, according to a new analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center.
In the decade from 2000 to 2010, the Mexican-American population grew by 7.2 million as a result of births and 4.2 million as a result of new immigrant arrivals. This is a change from the previous two decades when the number of new immigrants either matched or exceeded the number of births.
Why does the Republican Party have to do the right thing? Because time is running out. In order for the GOP to save itself…it must take action before November 2012 especially in high Hispanic populated states where congressional seats were gained due to Mexican-American and Latino growth. They may be able to save their necks but only if strong leadership emerges from the GOP.
There has to be a joint, concerted effort between top federal Republican lawmakers, the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee that will back GOP lawmakers in states with large Hispanic populations and put them on the right path to come up with a realistic solution to immigration reform. Just toning down the rhetoric will no longer work in this era post the harsh anti-immigrant laws of Arizona, Alabama and Georgia.
Hispanics know how closely tied the immigration issue is with jobs and the economy. They know because many of them helped build and develop entire communities across the nation when they contributed their competitive labor rates which Republicans are all for.
The Republican party must learn the lesson of the Reid/Angle election – particularly in the US southwest where Latinos are registering themselves in droves. If Obama does in 2012 what Reid did at the last minute in 2010 in order to woo Latinos to go to the polls, Republicans will rue the day they threw away millions of vital votes.
An informative and telling story by Ed Pilkington from the Guardian:
Hispanic activists urge GOP to follow Gingrich's lead on immigration
Newt Gingrich's call for 'humane' approach to migrants earns plaudits from Latino voters – but propels the former speaker into an increasingly hostile debate within the Republican party
Newt Gingrich's appeal for a "humane" approach to US immigration in the latest televised debate has propelled him into the thick of one of the most bitterly divisive issues within the Republican party, at the same time earning him plaudits from Hispanic activists battling against new legal clampdowns sweeping across the southern states.
Garcia Blase welcomed Gingrich's comments as a "restoration within the Republican party of common sense on immigration." But she said she feared that the candidate would suffer as a result of taking that stance, in much the same way Rick Perry saw his support dwindle among Republican voters after he publicly supported the Texas version of the Dream Act. Garcia Blase believes the increasingly anti-Hispanic drift of the Republican party is political suicide. Every year almost 500,000 new Latino voters come of age in America, and their growing demographic presence is already being felt in key battleground states such as New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Florida.
"Unless the party moves quickly to regain the common-sense approach we saw under Bush, then it is in danger of losing the Hispanic vote for an entire generation. They must show foresight, or else they will become extinct under the name of the Old White Party," she said.

Improvements on campus reflects college's commitment to excellence
Today, John McNamara, vice president for college development, writes the administration's message for the Weekly newsletter.
Dear students, faculty and staff:
To see the construction crane looming tall over Regents Hall is a wonderful sight!! As I write this, Our "Regents Roof" is being replaced; gone are the pea gravel stones that washed away to clog the drains and leave a spotty, patchy appearance to the roof.
It seems odd to be so excited about a new roof – on half of the Burpee Center – but I hope you share my sense of excitement; to me it is manifest evidence, and the most visible evidence, of the continuous reinvestment in our facilities that has been taking place the last three years. Residence hall renovations, new science equipment, new carpet for the library, all new equipment in the fitness center in Seaver, classroom renovations and new classroom technology in Starr Science and Scarborough Hall, a new psychology lab – all this is in place with more to come this semester break and next summer.
These investments are the product of responsible budgeting, a commitment to invest in our campus to attract and retain our students, and a strong private-public partnership generating the funds to complete these projects. We have been successful in securing federal government investments though the earmark proposals backed by Sen. Durbin and Cong. Manzullo, and have enjoyed excellent participation by trustees and alumni-friend donors in project-specific efforts. In the coming year, we look forward to the distribution of our $2.7 million share of the State Capital Plan; it has not been determined when and how these monies will be distributed, but it appears that when the bonds are sold, the monies will be allocated over a three plus year cycle.
These investments are one part, but an integral one, in President Head's emphasis to strengthen our institutional identity, foster institutional excellence and migrate to financial stability.
I look forward to seeing you at Reunion/Homecoming in 10 days!
Have a good week!
Vice President for College Development
When: 9 a.m. – noon

Pesticide protections for Pacific salmon head to court
An East Coast court case could have big impacts on West Coast fish, and farmers too. Chemical manufacturers are suing the federal government to get a rule restricting pesticide use wiped off the books.
In 2008 the National Marine Fisheries Service ruled a certain class of pesticides is a mortal threat to salmon and steelhead populations. Organophosphates are common on farms, and used to be widely used in gardens before regulators phased them out.
Steve Mashuda, a Seattle-based attorney for EarthJustice, said the pesticides have pretty much the same effects on fish as they do on bugs.
"Think of spasms and seizures It really just overloads the nervous system and once your nervous system shuts down, all of your organs do as well and that's what causes death," Mashuda said.
The Fisheries Service recommended carving out a 500-foot buffer zone next to salmon streams where the chemicals could not be sprayed. The manufacturers claim the agency's rule was unfair and based on old data. They also say use of the chemicals has already decreased enough to keep the fish safe.
Environmental advocates say the toxins can still spike in waterways and threaten wildlife. They also point out research linking organophosphates to neurological and other health problems in humans. The sides will be in a Virginia appeals court this week.

8 April 2011 - In the new PBS film Forgiveness: A Time to Love and a Time to Hate, acclaimed writer, producer and director Helen Whitney explores the timely, nearly ubiquitous applications and limitations of the concept and practice of forgiveness through a compelling range of stories, from personal betrayal to global reconciliation after genocide. Divided into two 90-minute acts, the film airs Sundays, April 17 and 24 on PBS stations across the United States.
"Forgiveness: A Time to Love and a Time to Hate" provides an intimate look into the spontaneous outpouring of forgiveness: from the Amish families for the 2006 shooting of their children in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania; the struggle of '60s radicals to cope with the serious consequences of their violent acts of protest; the shattering of a family after the mother abandons them, only to return seeking forgiveness; the legacy and divisiveness of apartheid and the aftermath of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in South Africa; the penitential journey of a modern-day Germany, confronting the horrific acts of the Holocaust; and the riveting stories of survivors of the unimaginably, brutal Rwandan genocide.
"Forgiveness is elusive, mysterious, primal ... an idea and an ache, which is rooted in existential concerns. But too often forgiveness is presented as a simplistic valentine celebrating New Age pieties: exhorting us to forgive and criticizing those who cannot as spiritual underachievers," notes Helen Whitney. "My intention is to complicate this vitally important subject. The film is meant to raise questions, not provide answers."
Once a uniquely religious word, forgiveness now is changing and there is no consensus about what it is and what it is becoming. However you define forgiveness, its power is real — and never more so when it struggles with the unforgivable. Whitney's multi-layered film explores the overarching concept of forgiveness. Inevitably, as Whitney reveals, its new role in the world raises serious and complex questions: why is forgiveness in the air today; what does that say about us and the times we live in; what are its power, its limitations and in some instances its dangers; has it been cheapened or deepened ... or both?
The first act of the film explores the contradictions and complexities of forgiveness in the private realm — its transformative power, elusive nature and spiritual importance. During the film's prologue, Washington State serial killer Gary Ridgeway facing the families of his victims, a World War II combat veteran craving forgiveness from God on his deathbed and the family of a murdered South African opponent of the apartheid regime confronting their son's killer are highlighted. In this introduction to the film, Whitney also touches on the phenomenon of an expanded examination of forgiveness through technology and "confessional" television. "As We Forgive Our Debtors" examines the confounding reaction of the Amish community to the murder of school children in the Pennsylvania town of Nickel Mines. The unconditional forgiveness offered by the Amish elicits powerful reaction from the world that is both admiring and troubled. In "The Language of Evil," author Terri Jentz tells her personal story of being savagely attacked while camping as a college student, her search for her attacker and justice, and, ultimately, her journey from denial and depression to righteous anger and health. "Atonement" is a split narrative between 1960s anti-war activist Kathy Power and Claire Schroeder, the daughter of a police officer killed in a foiled bank robbery in which Power participated. This segment follows the crime, Power's surrender to authorities after decades on the run, her imprisonment and search for forgiveness from Schroeder and her family.
Forgiveness is at the heart of some of the deepest hurts that can tear families and nations apart. The second act of Whitney's film, though primarily about national crimes and forgiveness, begins with "Intimate Woundings," the story of Dan Glick and his former wife Liesbeth Gerritsen, a seemingly ideal couple with two small children, whose family is torn apart by Liesbeth's decision to leave to start a new life thousands of miles away. Earning forgiveness from her husband, son and daughter is complicated, but not nearly as difficult as forgiving herself.
"In the Lives of Nations," Whitney focuses on genocide and war crimes — spotlighting Liberia, South Africa and Germany — and continues with "Germany – Facing the Past." German writers and cultural figures, including Gottfried Wagner, Sabine Reichel and Anna Rosmus, describe the impact of World War II and the Holocaust on Germany and the post-war attempt to confront the past and do penance.
"Bitburg – A Necessary Grief" features the 1985 visit of President Ronald Reagan to Bitburg Germany for a World War II commemoration with the German president. Reagan's decision to visit a cemetery in Bitburg, which included Nazi soldiers amongst those buried there, sparked violent protests around the world and provoked the German public into a deeper reflection of their responsibility for World War II and the Holocaust.Interviewed at some length on this history is Donald Shriver, president emeritus of the Union Theological Seminary and author of the book An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in Politics (Oxford, 1995). Along with his 2005 book Honest Patriots Shriver makes the case, with Hannah Arendt, that societies cannot truly recover from the injustices in their past without acknowledging them publically. Shriver states, "If forgiveness is to have public meaning, it must be joined iwht public repentance."
The Rwandan genocide of 1994 is examined in "Confronting Evil" through first-hand witness testimony. "Gacaca," the native process for resolving local disputes, is spotlighted as a way the new Rwandan government encouraged reconciliation and restorative justice. The film poses the question of whether forgiveness can be legislated by a nation or whether it places too much of a burden on the victims. Whitney's film ends with an epilogue suggesting that forgiveness begins and ends with one person facing another — friends, strangers, parents and children, husbands and wives. The decision to forgive or not — is a choice at the heart of our shared humanity.
Forgiveness: A Time to Love and a Time to Hate is a production of Helen Whitney Productions, Clear View Productions Foundation and WETA Washington, D.C. The film is written, produced and directed by Helen Whitney. Executive producers are Paul Dietrich and Ian Watson. WETA executive producers are Dalton Delan and David S. Thompson.Funding for Forgiveness: A Time to Love and a Time to Hate is provided by the Fetzer Institute and the John Templeton Foundation.
WETA will give community engagement grants to five stations in key markets across the country for activities such as local productions, screenings and discussions, events, sharing workshops and online initiatives. The film's companion web-site, pbs.org/forgiveness, will feature background information on the stories in the film, resources for community dialogue, full episode streaming, two web-exclusive stories, and a story collection tool allowing users to share their personal reflections, ideas and thoughts about the film and the themes addressed.

No program. Reason: You don't instant pick. It's just stupid. You communicate with your team to form a good setup and / or look at the other team to pick some counters.
when devourer is not banned in midwars, you WANT to instant pick him '-'
I agree with this statement, so many times my team just picks heroes that they want and not what the team needs. I shot myself in the foot when I first started playing by doing mm, I now have a low mmr and am slowly clawing my way back out of the 1400's but when I constantly land teams that think only of themselves I keep getting pushed back down.
It's useful for x-rape accounts and in midwars. We all know and love tremblerape.
Open/close console Ctrl+F8.
Type "bind [key] SpawnHero [Hero_HeroName]" without the quotations, where [key] can be any key you wish and [Hero_HeroName] is the name of the hero you wish to choose.
Ex. bind 0 SpawnHero Hero_Devourer is gonna let me instapick Devourer only by holding down the 0-key while the pickingphase is starting.
Remember to exit chat box by pressing Esc before you use your bound key. Also this bind will be deleted when you exit HoN (I think) so you'll have to re-bind every time you launch your client.
Few points:
1. By holding it down you issue the command very very fast. So yes, hold it down.
2. 'HeroName' is not always the hero name. It's the name in the gamefiles. To pick bramble, you'll want to do Hero_Plant. To do Wildsoul, it's Hero_BabyYaga. To do Ellonia, it's Hero_Ellonia. Check them in resources0.s2z.
3. The bind will not be deleted, as far as I'm aware. I have had my binds to pick the heroes I want through multiple openings and closings of HoN. I have one for Artillery, Flint, Devo and then one free space I change to who I want when I know they are usually picked quite fast (Nomad, Aluna, EW, etc).
i only use instant pick for midwards cause I'm too lazy to pick heroes by myself. also because i'm 99% of the time blue/pink and i get to ban

I wanted to install a quite old package in my ubuntu computer using the .sh file I downloaded from their website. So, I tried typing in terminal:
sudo ./package_name.sh
and I got:
/bin/sh: 0: Can't open ./package_name.sh
Briliant! Since you are here, you are probably looking for a fix.
The problem stems from the fact that Ubuntu uses dash as the default shell and your script is written with another shell in mind. The most usual is bash (sh).
So type in a terminal window:
sudo bash ./package_name.sh
This will force ubuntu to run the script using bash.

Steve Jones
Steve Jones
Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious were obviously the most attention-grabbing members of the Sex Pistols, but it was guitarist Steve Jones who led the charge musically. Born September 3, 1955 in London, England, Jones took up the guitar in the early '70s -- inspired by such acts as T. Rex, the Faces, the Stooges, and the New York Dolls. Since he was penniless, Jones acquired a wide variety of musical equipment by stealing from others (including David Bowie's Spiders from Mars during the group's farewell shows at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1973). It was around this time that Jones befriended drummer Paul Cook, and the duo formed a local band to jam on their favorite covers. By 1975, Cook and Jones (plus a small group of London teenagers) began frequenting a clothing shop called Sex, owned by Malcolm McLaren, who had briefly managed the New York Dolls and possessed a love for controversy.

Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – The National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University® is hosting an international two-day symposium about the depiction of suburbia in popular culture, literature and art and how those representations affect attitudes about the suburbs.
The symposium, called "Out of Control Suburbs? Comparing Representations of Order, Disorder and Sprawl" will be held June 27 and 28 and bring together scholars from the United States, Great Britain, Australia, India and Ireland to explore representations of suburban sprawl in different parts of the world, and in different mediums.
"This symposium and collaboration represents shows how Hofstra and the NCSS are continuing to extend their reach to an international audience of students, donors and researchers," said Lawrence Levy, executive dean of the NCSS. "It also shows how the suburbs have become places of great interest to the entire world and worthy of high-level research."
It is the second in a series of symposia sponsored by the Cultures of the Suburbs International Research Network, a project funded by a three-year grant from the Leverhulme Foundation that is among the first and largest efforts at promoting international study and understanding of suburban life. The project is headed by English professor Joanna Gill, who is based at the University of Exeter. The network's first symposium was held at Maynooth, Ireland in 2011.
Dr. Christopher Niedt, NCSS academic director said scholars will examine how well cultural images of suburbia reflect the realities of suburban life, and how they influence the way people live.
"The stereotype of the suburbs is of a place – even if the landscape is sprawling, even if they are being built out of control – where life is orderly, controlled and safe," Niedt said. "But more and more often, representations are challenging that."
"We think of the suburbs as a background or a setting," Niedt said, "but they are very important – whether in movies like Revolutionary Road or series like "The Sopranos" – to the action and the story."
The National Center for Suburban Studies® at Hofstra University is a non-partisan research institution dedicated to promoting objective, academically rigorous study of suburbia's problems and promise. Rooted in the laboratory of Long Island's diverse and aging suburbs, the National Center studies a broad range of local and national issues. The suburbs have emerged as the nexus of dynamic demographic, social, economic and environmental change. The tasks of identifying, analyzing and solving the problems of suburbia are key to the health of the country – and central to the Center's mission.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students can choose from about 140 undergraduate and more than 150 graduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business; engineering; communication; education, health and human services; and honors studies, as well as the Maurice A. Deane School of Law and the Hofstra-North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The Toronto Maple Leafs fired general manager Brian Burke on Wednesday, replacing him with David Nonis.
Burke had been the Maple Leafs' president and GM since November 2008.
"I've worked closely with our Board to evaluate the long-term direction of the Leafs, and as a result of this assessment we have decided to make these leadership changes," said MLSE president and COO Tom Anselmi.
Burke will stay on in a senior advisory role.
"Brian will not have direct authority over hockey operations, however this new role will allow our Board and I to continue to benefit from his hockey expertise," Anselmi added. "We want to thank Brian for accepting his new role and staying on with our organization."
Nonis, the 14th GM in franchise history, has also been appointed the Maple Leafs' senior vice president. He had served as senior vice president of hockey operations since joining the team on Dec. 6, 2008.
"We are grateful to have such a deep and talented hockey operations department to allow us to make such significant changes seamlessly," Anselmi said. "We believe in Dave and the team and their abilities to lead the Maple Leafs out of this lockout and into the upcoming season."
Nonis replaced Burke as Vancouver's general manager in 2004. Nonis was relieved of his duties by the Canucks after the 2007-08 season.

"This feature costs more but we thought it was worth it because it is more efficient," he said. "There are many 'green' features. The new windows are efficient and the new skin we will put on the building exterior is extremely efficient."
Hillenbrandt pointed out that instead of providing guests with small packets of soap, shampoo and hair conditioner, the bathroom is equipped with dispensers. "That way there's no waste and there aren't lots of plastic wrappers," she said.
McClanahan pointed out that 23 of the hotel's refurbished rooms will be suites that feature a living room in addition to a sleeping area.
One change past visitors to the hotel will surely notice when the remodeling is complete: The large meeting room on the first floor, just past the lobby, will be divided in two, with an open space in between. Guests who enter the front door will be able to see all of the way back to the ballroom.
Hillenbrandt said the ballroom is being remodeled with moveable walls so the hotel will be able to comfortably accommodate groups as small as 25 people and as large as 350.
Wireless Internet access is already available throughout the building. Renovated rooms will have easily accessible power outlets.
Completion of the hotel renovation is expected in October. When it is finished, the company will turn its attention to the 11th and 12th floors, where the condominiums will be built, Hillenbrandt said.
No deadline has yet been set for completion of the condos, and no price range has been established. A total of eight condos will be built - four on each floor, she said. How each is configured will depend on market demand.
All condos will have sweeping views of the river on one side and the city on the other. Hillenbrandt said the condos on the 12th floor will command higher prices because they will have higher ceilings and balconies.
BBL Hospitality is compiling a waiting list of potential buyers.
Everything in the building is being re-worked, including the retail spaces. Hillenbrandt said the company hopes to attract retailers that will be of benefit to the hotel's guests, the condo owners and the neighborhood.
The Recovery Sports Grill was BBL Hospitality's 10th. The company now has 11. The Four Points by Sheraton is BBL Hospitality's 14th hotel.
