Health Tip: When Varicose Veins Are a Problem
(HealthDay News) -- Varicose veins are enlarged, bulging veins often found on the thighs, calves or inside the leg that can cause significant pain when standing or walking. They are rarely serious but sometimes warrant evaluation by a doctor.
The Womenshealth.gov website lists these signs that varicose veins should be seen by a doctor:
When varicose veins are tender to the touch, warm, swollen and red.
If a rash or sores appear on the leg in the ankle area.
If skin color changes or skin thickens around the ankle or calf.
If a varicose vein bleeds.
If symptoms affect your ability to do daily tasks.
If their appearance bothers you.

In an eclipsing binary, the brightness of the smaller, brighter star
is greatest when its companion star, in this case the dark colored
ball, is behind it.
How do you think the stars will be arranged when the combined
brightness of the system is faintest?
A binary system would appear faintest when the dark colored ball or dim star
passes in front of the smaller star to completely cover it's brightness.

This study provides evidence on the association between board composition and different types of continuous disclosure. Our sample is based on a sample of 450 firms for the period 2006-2007. Our experimental design uses both ordinary least-squares (OLS) regressions and two-stage least-squares regressions (2SLS), although the Durbin-Wu-Hausman chi(2) test indicates that the OLS results alone would be appropriate. We include the 2SLS results in order to be able to compare the results against previous findings. Our key findings are that there is no association between board composition and different types of continuous disclosure. Our results are robust with respect to alternative variable definitions.

This study investigates the cumulative impact of quasi-regulatory and regulatory reforms, and political pressure on board composition and sub-committees of boards over the period 2001 to 2007. Based on a sample of 450 firms listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, we find that most firms complied with the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice by 2007. In particular, 85% of firms had an independent board and there was a significant increase in majority independent committees (audit, remuneration and nomination). While there was an increase in majority board independence, the increase in the mean level of board independence to 71% was modest. The level of compliance was highest for large firms, but the impact was largest on small firms, which changed their board composition the most. The relation between firm characteristics and board composition declined between 2001 and 2007, and changes in board composition were not able to be explained by changes in firm characteristics. If it is assumed that firms on average select their board to reflect their economic needs, this suggests that the changes in board composition may have been costly for firms.

The paper reports the findings of a trial of student generated screencasts in an introductory accounting subject. This paper examines the effect of this screencast project on student engagement and performance. The effect on student engagement is examined using data from a pre and post screencast project student survey and performance effects examined by analysing the performance of students completing and not completing the project. The results of the study suggest the screencast project facilitated higher student engagement and performance. These findings have important implications for integrating technologies such as screencasting to facilitate enhanced learning outcomes in introductory accounting subjects.

This paper seeks to address a major deficit in understandings of mobile learning, that is, its lack of a solid theoretical foundation. An overview of existing theoretical concepts of mobile learning is presented, followed by an analysis of interactive classroom systems and the learning that they provide. The implementation of a specific interactive system mInteract in the lectures of a large accounting subject is described. mInteract is a Webbased system using no-to-low cost data-packet technology and provides for interactions from students+ own Internet-enabled mobile devices. The paper examines, by means of reflections from the lecturer and students, the learning which took place during the implementation. The analysis demonstrates that interactive mobile learning can be interpreted using experiential learning theory, and that both students and lecturers engage in experiential learning. Furthermore, they enter into transactions of knowledge which are facilitated by the mobile learning system.

The rapid evolution and ubiquitous use of mobile devices is an historical opportunity to improve experiential interactivity in education practices to support +deep+ learning. A major barrier to the widespread adoption of mLearning in higher education is that of cost. Usage charges and the cost of mobile hardware are key issues. Opportunities to overcome this barrier include the high rate of ownership of mobile phones by university students and technological solutions such as packet transmission technologies. The paper introduces mInteract, a system which uses packet technology (mobile WAP/WML) to build no-to-low cost interactivity into learning spaces. The online tool supports active experiential learning transactions for both student and teacher. In 2008 mInteract was trialled in a subject with large numbers. Focus group feedback is presented that indicates high levels of engagement with both users and non-users of the tool.

This study investigates the relation between firm characteristics and board composition in Australia for a sample of the same 432 listed firms in 2001 and 2007 and the impact of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice issued by the Australian Stock Exchange in 2003. Two feature of this regulation were (a) it recommended independent boards for all firms, without regard to firm characteristics (an approach commonly described as `one size fits all+) and (b) it allowed non-compliance through `if not why not+ reporting. Using various designations of independence and firm size subsamples we find for `Top 100+ firms in 2001 up to 49% (Adjusted R2 48.8) of variation in board independence may be explained by firm characteristics, but generally the explanatory power was much lower. Evidence is provided that although more firms had majority independent boards the relation between board composition and firm characteristics may have weakened over the period. This highlights a potential concern that the regulation has imposed unnecessary costs or inappropriate governance mechanisms on Australian firms.

Government Relations Update
New ideas for suicide prevention research sought by federal agencies
Three components of the National Institutes of Health have issued a request for guidance on how to advance research on suicide prevention. The request seeks input on "a) the key methodological roadblocks that currently exist in suicide prevention research, and b) new paradigms and theoretical models with the potential to spark innovative research."
The request was issued by the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute on Drug Abuse and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Responses will help guide these institutes' planning and funding of suicide prevention research.
The institutes note that "Given challenging budget times, federal funding for suicide research will need to be more strategic and prioritized than ever before. This [request] offers an opportunity for the research community to identify and prioritize the critical 'bottlenecks' that impede progress, to suggest solutions to one or more significant problems, and to nominate new paradigms for approaching this work."
For further background and instructions on how to respond, see the Request for Information (NOT-MH-12-017). The deadline for responses is April 27, 2012.

Unitarian Universalism
We Welcome You!
Unitarian Universalism is an exciting, growing, and living faith tradition. We have a proud history which begins in the earliest days of the Christian faith with thinkers and leaders who proclaimed the oneness of God and the salvation of all. In the reformation, Unitarianism was (re)born as a faith of reason, religious tolerance, and commitment to faithful and compassionate living. Universalism and Unitarianism were vital and powerful forces at the beginning of the United States, when we led the way toward a more democratic vision of the religious and civic life. Our traditions were reborn again in transcendentalism, evolution, humanism, and the social gospel movement. We are now on the leading edge of creating and living a multireligious faith, a faith of deeds in place of creeds, a faith of hope in place of despair, and a faith of justice in place of apathy and oppression. We invite you to join us on this journey.
What do Unitarian Universalists Believe?
We are a non-creedal faith, and we neither advance or require a statement of belief. Our members and friends have religious and spiritual ideas drawn from a variety of sources: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Earth-Centered Traditions, Taoism, and varieties of mysticism, humanism, and skepticism. Sometimes we use the metaphor of "one mountain with many paths"-- that the source of truth is accessible in many ways. The Rev. Forrester Church popularized the idea of Unitarian Universalism as "the cathedral of the world" -- that one light (Unitarianism's belief in one holy power) entered the world through many differently-colored windows (Universalism).
There are, however, a set of values and principles which unite us. Two such statements have become popular. The first is a set of ten statements written by the Unitarian Universalist minister David O. Rankin. The second is the statement of principles and sources of our tradition, adopted by the Unitarian Universalist Association in 1985.

Unitarian Universalist Beliefs by the Rev. David O. Rankin
- We believe in the freedom of religious expression. All individuals should be encouraged to develop their own personal theology, and to present openly their religious opinions without fear of censure or reprisal.
- We believe in the toleration of religious ideas. All religions, in every age and culture, possess not only an intrinsic merit, but also a potential value for those who have learned the art of listening.
- We believe in the authority of reason and conscience. The ultimate arbiter in religion is not a church, or a document, or an official, but the personal choice and decision of the individual.
- We believe in the never-ending search for Truth. If the mind and heart are truly free and open, the revelations which appear to the human spirit are infinitely numerous, eternally fruitful, and wondrously exciting.
- We believe in the unity of experience. There is no fundamental conflict between faith and knowledge, religion and the world, the sacred and the secular, since they all have their source in the same reality.
- We believe in the worth and dignity of each human being. All people on earth have an equal claim to life, liberty and justice-and no idea, ideal or philosophy is superior to a single human life.
- We believe in the ethical application of religion. Good works are the natural products of a good faith, the evidence of an inner grace that finds completion in social and community involvement.
- We believe in the motive force of love. The governing principle in human relationships is the principle of love, which always seeks the welfare of others and never seeks to hurt or destroy.
- We believe in the necessity of the democratic process. Records are open to scrutiny, elections are open to members, and ideas are open to criticism-so that people might govern themselves.
- We believe in the importance of a religious community. The validation of experience requires the confirmation of peers, who provide a critical platform along with a network of mutual support.
UUA Principles and Sources

- The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all;
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
The living tradition which we share draws from many sources:
- Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
- Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion and the transforming power of love;
- Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
- Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
- Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit;
- Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising to one another our mutual trust and support.
We are a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

becoming a happy adult in a sunny sustainable world.
With just over 8 hours of training last week, I felt a little silly having a recovery week this week. But, I guess with two heavy weeks before and a race last Sunday, I probably did need a little recovery. Recovery weeks are a little bittersweet for me. I'm sad that I don't get lots of training, but I get to catch up with housework, my pups, my dvr, sleeping. My favorite part of recovery weeks is the freedom on the weekends.
Saturday was spent playing indoor fetch with Brennan, snuggling with Scout (who was pretty lethargic and pathetic after getting all her yearly vaccines on Friday), clearing out 600+ unread entries in Google Reader, sipping on Starbucks, watching the last three episodes of Pretty Little Liars (don't judge, I am, in fact, 13 years old maturity-wise), and making an upholstered headboard for the guest bedroom. I was so productive! Normally, Saturday and Sunday mornings are spent killing three hours or more of running or biking and then sleeping for 3 hours and then eating a lot and then going to bed. Clearly, I live I super exciting life.
Here's how the week went:
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Swim TT Test – 2100yds, including a 1000yd test (completed in 14:45, 1:28ish/100yds)
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Swim 1800yds, Ride 1hr easy
Friday: 1hr Yoga
Saturday: Run LT test (7:15s at 182bpm)
Sunday: Bike LT test (AHR: 159…super low, no idea why)
So, I have this one skill: standardized tests. Applying that shit to real life? Eh. But multiple choice exams, I can slam the shit out of that stuff. Unfortunately, that has not translated to my LT testing. Actually, I've rarely seen an improvement in my LT testing over the 3 years that I've been with my coach. It is not his fault. Seriously. It's my fault. And this is how I know:
This week brought new LT testing. My last LT test was the week of Christmas, and get this, training helps you get better.
Groundbreaking, huh? But, generally my training has been so sporadic that I have remained relatively stagnant except for the gains I've seen in biking and swimming just from having more experience in those disciplines (I've rested on my running laurels for about a decade now). This time, though, I've been super-duper consistent during the winter. Usually during the winter, I don't swim because I'm cold and I stink at swimming and yea. But this winter, I've been a swimming fiend. And you know what? My 1000TT was almost an entire minute and 30 seconds faster than this time last year. And my run LT was at a pace 15sec/mi faster than in December. When I saw how I compared to just a few months ago, I was all.
Apparently consistency is key. I'd always hoped that I had untapped potential because I hadn't been putting in solid training numbers consistently. Now I see that I might be right. Fingers crossed that I can make that 25minute PR at Eagleman with 14 more weeks of consistent training. Nothing like a little positive reinforcement to kick you into another gear. 15+ hours on the schedule for next week. Now, time to get at it.
ps. I love me some Jennifer Lawrence. Primarily because of the faces she makes. Because I'm a huge face-maker too. A lot of times I can't control it. Which is good and bad. On the one hand, you know totally what I'm feeling. On the other hand, you know totally what I'm feeling.
pps. I will post sometime during this week before my recap. I will.
I rested on my running for years, too! I know exactly what you mean.
Consistency is the name of the game! Stay consistent with the training, and you will definitely continue to see gains. Last year, I went from swimming 3x a week to 4x a week (and made some other tweaks to my swim training) and cut 13 minutes off my IM swim time. Yup: 13 minutes. Yowsa.
Same deal with the bike. I spent the fall working on my bike – 5x a week, not racing, just working on the bike. I did a half iron in January – took 25 MINUTES off my HIM bike split. Wow. Just. Wow.
So, yeah, consistency – it works
Can't wait to meet you at Eagleman! TEAM SOAS, BABY!!!
A public defender super heroine by day, I am a cupcake baker extraordinaire by night. And come weekend, I am an IronPerson. I deal with an NPR addiction daily and I dream of one day having Carl Kasell on my answering machine. I strive to be the best fur-mommy I can be, and when I have time, I'm learning to be a grownup.

text: Day in day out, all the fucking time, I get bullshit from my parents because of the music I listen to. It's like everytime we bring up the topic "music" when we be eating or talking, theyre they go again. "all we hear is fuck this fuck that, the music you listen to makes you violent and has a bad influence" this and that. The shit makes me SICK! It's not so much the wining they do about it, its more the complete fucking ignorance they show by saying the music is violent and ridicolous.....if only they would be able to put themselfs in the situation of some of these MC's that I bump, and try to understand why they express themselfs the way they do, and eventually realize its all because of the fucked up American system putting Afro Americans in these fucked up living conditions and force to them to live with violence everyday, maybe they wouldnt say ignorant shit like they do. But I really really can't bring up the effort to explain it to them, I find it really amazing they can't figure all this out theirselfs. Sorry just had to get that off my chest, anyone else feeling me on this?

It's taken 13 years between episodes (see picture above!), but today Rosie O'Donnell appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" again. After the surprise of seeing the Queen of Daytime hosting the Queen of Talk, the interview turned out to be a zinger.
O'Donnell shared some of the details concerning her now famous run-in with Barbara Walters and Elizabeth Hasselbeck on "The View," including the main reasons why she decided to quit the show. O'Donnell also shared some of the details that led to her and Kelli O'Donnell's decision to divorce.
Oprah's main questions revolved around O'Donnell's role as mom to her four children, including how she and Kelli are co-parenting them now that they are apart. Rolled into this discussion was Rosie sharing a clip from her forthcoming movie "A Family is a Family is a Family."
The fact that neither daytime Queen mentioned is that Rosie's return to the afternoon talk circuit will coincide with Oprah's departure. Perhaps it's just as well, awckward silence doesn't play well on television.

London Fletcher Named NFC Defensive Player Of The Month For December
By ZAC BOYER
ASHBURN – London Fletcher was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday after the Washington Redskins linebacker finished December with 51 tackles, three interceptions and two sacks.
Fletcher was the only player in the NFL with at least three interceptions and two sacks as the Redskins won all five games during the month. He had at least a sack or an interception in each of the last four games.
Only two other Redskins players have been given the honor – linebacker Wilber Marshall, who was recognized in October 1991 and October 1992, and linebacker Marcus Washington, honored in December 2005.
The last Redskins player to earn player of the month recognition was running back Clinton Portis, who won the offensive award in October 2008.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Fourteen years after the city began a crusade to get rid of strip clubs, the job is done.
Gumwrappers, the last club in Fort Lauderdale where nearly nude women danced, has wrapped it up.
Tired of fighting the city's strict ordinances aimed at shutting down strip clubs, Gumwrappers' lawyers and owner reinvented the club several weeks ago. It's now a bikini bar.

Risk and Outbreak Communication
Communication plays an integral role in the preparation, prevention, response, and recovery during an emergency or health crisis. The Pan American Health Organization works with all the countries in the Region to create communication strategies that can be implemented intersectorally, highlighting the need for reporting, educating, communicating, and advocating.
Effective communication clarifies misconceptions allowing people to make decisions based on complete and accurate information. It also minimizes the resentment of those who feel excluded from health policies, helps to maintain the health standards or change the status quo, and thereby save lives. We hope that the information highlighted in our website helps make communication a part of your work.

The Guild Wars Challenge Mission Ladder houses the records of the most skilled challenge mission players, displaying the top 50 combined aggregate scores for players across all challenge missions. You can search this ladder by specific challenge mission or by Guild Wars campaign. Be sure to check the ladder regularly; its ever-changing, and you never know who you might see at the top!
Aggregate Score
Aggregate score is a calculation based on the ranks attained across all missions except those considered Special Events. Hovering your mouse over the aggregate score will show you the ranks attained on the listed missions. Missions with a dash are either unplayed or the Guild/Party did not reach a rank greater than 50 and are therefore disregarded when calculating the aggregate score. First place is worth 50 points whereas 50th place is worth one point. A perfect player or guild would have an aggregate score of 50 which is the maximum possible.

Sun, Y and Lim, C. S. and Liu, A. Q. and Ayi, T. C. and Yap, P. H. (2007) Design, simulation and experiment of electroosmotic microfluidic chip for cell sorting. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 133 (2). 340 - 348.

A microfluidic cell sorting chip has been developed using micromachining technology, where electroosmotic flow (EOF) is exploited to drive and switch cells. For this electroosmotically driven system, it is found that the effect of induced hydrostatic pressure caused by unequal levels in solution reservoirs is not negligible. In this work, the numerical simulation of EOF and opposing pressure induced flow in microchannels is presented and the velocity profiles in the microchannels are measured experimentally using microparticle imaging velocimetry (PIV) system. The result shows that the final resulting velocity is the superposition of the two flows. A total volume of 0.305 μl is transported in the 50 μm microchannel and the back flow occurs after 240 s transportation. The task of sorting cells is realized at the switching structure by adjusting the electric fields in the microchannels. The performance of the cell sorting chip is optimized by investigating the effect of different switching structures. A Y-junction switching structure with 90° switching angle is highly recommended with simulated leakage distance of 53 μm and switching time of 8 ms.

NORTH ATTLEBORO ŌĆō The mission of Chemawa Golf Course is simple.
ŌĆ£If people think itŌĆÖs fair, theyŌĆÖll come back,ŌĆØ Chemawa owner Glen Burke was saying over the weekend. ŌĆ£A lot of older guys have said ŌĆśI went somewhere and the rough was so high and thick that I was tired by the end of the round.ŌĆÖ [At Chemawa] youŌĆÖre not going to be tired, youŌĆÖre going to enjoy yourself.
ŌĆ£My thought is that when they come into the parking lot, they forget about their worries and enjoy themselves,ŌĆØ Burke added. ŌĆ£I think thatŌĆÖs true as based on the number of car doors and trunks that open.ŌĆØ
The design of the golf course is such that the first and second holes along with Nos. 7-18 are bunched together. Upon completing the second hole youŌĆÖll be required to cross Cushman Road, where holes 3-6 are located. Your eyes arenŌĆÖt playing tricks as Chemawa puts the short in short golf courses, measuring 5,285 yards from the back tees. The middle tees bring it down to 4,914 yards and plays at 4,368 from the womenŌĆÖs tees.
Chemawa is either a par 68 or 69, a decision stemming from the finishing 18th hole, which can play as either a par 4 or 5. The course is perfect for startup golfers while presenting enough challenges through 18 interchangeable holes that you can drive away feeling like youŌĆÖve gotten your moneyŌĆÖs worth.
The front nine features one par 5 ŌĆō the seventh hole, a 445-yard tester from the back tees that is the No. 5 handicap hole on the course ŌĆō and one par 3, No. 9. The No. 1 handicap hole is the sixth hole, a 312-yard (from the back) challenge in that thereŌĆÖs not much fairway to work with off the tee. Located to the right are woods, deemed out-of-bounds, while the left features a sloping hill that can have a direct impact on your second shot.
ŌĆ£They rate the sixth hole as the toughest, but I think the seventh is much more difficult,ŌĆØ said Burke.
The back nine plays two or three strokes fewer than the front side, where par is 36. The final nine holes offer a little bit of everything, from four par 3s to several holes that are short enough that long hitters can take full advantage of while those lacking power off the tee still have a shot to record par.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre the same but theyŌĆÖre different,ŌĆØ explained Burke about the difference between the front and back nine. ŌĆ£The nice thing about both sides is that you can play all your clubs. ItŌĆÖs the full gamut. ItŌĆÖs not one style.ŌĆØ
You would have to search high and low to find bare spots as Chemawa is fabulously maintained during the summer months. With the holes so tightly configured, youŌĆÖll hear a lot of golfers scream ŌĆ£Fore!ŌĆØ if their tee shot goes awry and lands on another holeŌĆÖs fairway. Those accurate with their irons should have no trouble when taking aim at the greens, which can sometimes play slow.
The popularity of Chemawa is evident in the 30-plus leagues Burke and his staff caters to. A tip to those not in a league: plan accordingly by either calling ahead (508-399-7330) or clicking on the ŌĆ£schedule a tee timeŌĆØ section on the courseŌĆÖs homepage, chemawagolf.com.
ŌĆ£People can come anytime on Monday and Wednesday before 3 p.m.,ŌĆØ said Burke. ŌĆ£It doesnŌĆÖt matter.ŌĆØ
A special was recently introduced in which ŌĆ£four play, but three payŌĆØ on weekends after 12 p.m.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre still a golf course that treats Friday like a weekday and not a weekend,ŌĆØ said Burke. ŌĆ£A lot of courses charge weekend rates, but we still think of Friday as a work day.ŌĆØ
Burke is proud of ChemawaŌĆÖs October promotion, an idea geared toward drawing in business during the fall months. At Chemawa, $35 gets you 18 holes, a cart and lunch.
ŌĆ£Originally we were one of the few courses to do different promotions like that,ŌĆØ Burke noted. ŌĆ£A lot of people have looked at us in seeing how we operate, which means youŌĆÖre doing something right.ŌĆØ

Deadly Crash Shuts Down Ave 52
Updated On: Dec 29 2012 05:28:00 PM CST
Three people are dead after a driver crashed into a tree in La Quinta, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
It happened at 1:11 a.m. on Avenue 52 and Madison.
Four people were trapped inside the vehicle and had to be cut from the wreckage, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
Two people, 20-year-old Orlando Diarte and 21-year-old Michael Garcia died on the scene. Two more were flown to the hospital in a helicopter. 20 year old Eric Ceballos later died of his injuries.
The Riverside County Coroner's office says the sedan was traveling at a high rate of speed then the driver lost control and the car collided with a palm tree. All three were wearing their seat belts.
Investigators say alcohol played a factor in the crash.
Avenue 52 was closed from Madison to Monroe until around 9:00 a.m. while crews investigated and clear the scene, said Sheriff's Deputies.

Nigel Lythgoe and Ryan Seacrest sent out a few cryptic tweets:
there is a result tonight on @AmericanIdol that some would say is very shocking!
— Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) April 12, 2012
I didn't think the judges were fair on Hollie but it's all subjective. I more than not usually agree with them. Interesting voting tonight!!
— Nigel Lythgoe (@dizzyfeet) April 12, 2012
Okay no BS I am truly shocked by tonight's #AmericanIdol result! #idon'tunderstand!
— Nigel Lythgoe (@dizzyfeet) April 12, 2012
TMZ has also reported that there is a major shocker and the producers are scrambling. MORE DETAILS HERE!!!
Oh snap. I was in the middle of writing this post when Nigel tweeted out that last one. I'm hoping for some major shake up tonight!!! I suspect someone who's never been in the bottom (Colton, Jessica, Joshua, or Phillip) will be in the bottom two or three. My pick is Jessica.
Anyways, I will be live blogging the results as they happen. So, come back soon and often for a rundown of all the action.
This…is AMERICAN IDOL!!!
Fun's "We Are Young" is playing over the intro package. I feel something cray cray about to happen tonight. J-Hud returns to the stage. Do you think we could get a "shocking" elimination like hers? Wouldn't that be something.
Group Performance – Pink – "Raise Your Glass"
Great song! Elise has a fedora AND sounds terrific on this!!! There's Phillip and Colton BROMANCE!!! It's strange to hear Skylar on this, but I love it!!! Huh. Elise is getting TONS of solos in this. Joshua's vocals are sick!!! Man. OMG. They end the performance around the judges table and Ryan slides in on his side with a Coke cup!!!!!!!!!!
Ford Music Video – School Time! The contestants are paper dolls living in a notebook-kind-of-world. There are dinosaurs and spaceships!!!
Fan mail time! Colton gets an invitation to prom! Hollie gets an invite to spring formal. A fan from Charleston sent a feather to Elise to give to Steven!
Hollie Cavanagh and Jessica Sanchez are called to center stage!
Hollie…stars a group on the RIGHT SIDE!!!
Jessica…starts a group on the LEFT SIDE!!!
OMG! It's THE HUFF!!!
Musical Performance – James Durbin – "Higher Than Heaven"
He's behind a HUGE white current. There's a yellow bulbous like sun!!! OMG. I can't get over his super blonde hair. This is one of my favorite songs from his debut album. There's major reverb going on right now with his mic. So much energy. His vocals are not as bad as they usually are. High energy, all the time!
His tour starts tonight at the Viper Room!!!!
Phillip Phillips and Elise Testone join Ryan on stage!
Phillip…joins Hollie on the RIGHT SIDE!
Elise…joins Jessica on the LEFT SIDE!
Wow. I can honestly say I do not know which group is which…
Musical Performance – Jennifer Hudson and Ne-Yo – "Think Like a Man"
She's one of the greatest vocalists to come from this show. Oh. Look at her new 'do. New hair FTW!!! This is my first time hearing this track. It's sassy and perfect for J. She is totally schooling Mr. Durbin on how to sing. Look at those moves, girl!!! Midway through, Ne-Yo joins her onstage. They have such great chemistry! I've never understood why her albums don't sell more than they do. She's a gem!
Colton Dixon and Joshua Ledet join Ryan on stage!
Joshua…joins Jessica + Elise!
Colton…joins Hollie + Phillip!
OMG! They're "Huff"-ing Skylar!!!!!!!
Skylar…is SAFE!!!
Now she must pick a group. She won't choose!
Ryan puts her in Phillips group!
Hollie…is SAFE!!!
Phillip…is SAFE!!!
Colton…is SAFE!!!
BOTTOM THREE: Elise, Joshua, Jessica
Joshua…is SAFE!!!!
Elise…is SAFE!!!!
Jessica…is ELIMINATED!!!
OMG. Jennifer Lopez TOTALLY charges on stage to stop her singing!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE SAVING HER!!!
She gets to finish her "save me" song and we are out!!!
What did you guys think of the results? Was it shocking? Or was it totally scripted???
Got Something to Add?
I am writing this because I believe that American Idol no longer really counts the votes, right from the start they start pimping the people they want in the top 10,it isn't rigged because this is a reality show it dose not say a talent show it says reality so things are made to go the way the show wants and to believe anything but that is totally nieve, Even for you a professional blogger. and here is my reasons. Deandre nor Jessica got any screen time until the very end of the taped shows, but the other ones were pimped and pimped and pimped again so the show said okay we want these ones to make it so just show them all the time right, then they realized the reactions they got from america about deandre and jessica why the hell did candice get cut she was not one of the ones they picked, then at first deandre was considered a contender along with jessica they went uhoh cant have that so then came jimmy lovine he knew that he had to start downing deandre he was the whole package and all the bloggers bought right into it, you all do you jump on the band wagon and mimik jimmy, they could not have deandre close to winning he was to much of a threat he was the whole package and jessica was the one they wanted which i believe she should so she got popular was told she was the best she is rated the best and again it was bought hook line and sinker. Poor deandre he came the marked contestant, but the judges and the other contestants knew he was awesome. His looks, his humbleness and his range in voice. so jimmy said so many cruel things about him to justify why he would be voted out. Last night was just another reality show looking for ratings so they made the one person who is always on top dead last with america, if you believe that i have a great property in the swamp to sell you don't be nieve. now when she wins american idol they can take the credit for her staying in. They absouloutely do not count the votes they have already decided who was going to win and america has no voice on it no matter how they spin it. so here is how it is going to go.. Jimmy is now after Phillip 2 so he will be next to go, then it will be hollie and then elise leaving jessica skylar joseph and colton then colton will go then skylar then joshuaua and jessica will be are new American idol believe me it is all in the script. IDOL IS A FAKE!!!! COME ON YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT JESSICA OR JOSHUA WAS IN THE BOTTOM 3 FOR AI TO TRY TO MAKE US BELIEVE IS HISTERICAL. U AMERICA DECIDE!!!!!!
I'm mad because the judges think they have America's decission. I mean, everyone is free to vote whoever they want! I'm sad they didn't let Jessica go, because she's a good singer but she bores me... Anyway, that's not the point of my post: what I want to say is that Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler aren't the ones that decide who's going to win, it's America!!! Fuck the judges!! :)
Wait, so we're supposed to believe that JESSICA had the lowest number of votes and HOLLIE was among the top 3 vote-getters? Fat chance. Hollie's been going downhill and has been in the bottom 3 a few times before, so there's just no way she got more votes than Jessica. I like her a lot but she's the weakest link right now in terms of versatility and staying power. Nope, can you say RIGGED? Sucks that Jessica had to be put through the wringer just to drive the ratings up a couple notches. Make no mistake, Nigel really is that desperate to save this sinking Idol ship. I will say this - it did make for entertaining TV, so mission accomplished. And it will give Jessica a huge boost in votes by waking up her complacent fans. I'm now more convinced that she will win because what could be more dramatic than "saving" a contestant who goes on to win, a la Melanie Amaro? I bet that's been the plan all along.
That was a crazy shock! Why Jessica...I was thinking Phil was exiting out tonight...
This is not a shocker. Alot of readers predicted Jessica to be the "shock" elimination months ago. She's a great singer, but does not have much of a personality (yet.)
TOP 3 becomes the Bottom 3. These 3 will go all the way! Jessica should have idol moment every week otherwise its a bye bye!
Tsk.... Jessica fans are soo complacent.. Elise and Joshua in the bottom 3 is not a shocker though... P2 in the bottom.. now that's a shocker..
I think it is scripted! But i don't care! I LOVE IT! I am so happy that the judges saved Jessica Sanchez. I am guilty! I forgot to vote for Jessica after the show last night! Never again!!!
I have a feeling they will give Jessica the pimp shot next week
Did they announce the theme yet?
Now Guys, who do you think should back his/her belongings by next week? I understand there will be two contestant wholl heading home...
Most manipulated piece of shit ever!!!...nigel manipulated the results to get ratings at the expense of jessica's feelings...no way someone that popular would have the lowest amount of votes.....luckily, the judges still had their save.....
I can already see/imagine next week's show with Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson telling the viewers:
"Vote for your favorite! No one is safe until the results are in!, you should not stop until the voting period is over!"
predictable. LOL, still funny.
if a WGWG wins this one, id buy joshua elise and jessica's albums... wow instant promotion for these 3.... WOW!!!!
Hey guys at least Elise was safe this week. lols My votes counted again. :) OH well, it was fun.
now jessica's votes will come back, this was what she needed, this was what AI needed, this was what America NEEDED... LETS VOTE JESSICA NEXT WEEK!!!!!
I love JSan and all but she was kind of boring last night, regardless I think Hollie needs to go, like now.
If it is P2/Colton final, they just lost a dedicated viewer. Seriously, i will not watch it.
@Ruben FernandezI agree. The whole time I'm watching JLO gush about her, I'm thinking... "well, then, why don't you guys just crown her the winner and send everyone home?" First, Randy said "She is THE best singer in the competition." Then tells America we must "Vote for the best SINGER." Lol... Thanks, Judges. Will do.
There was a big save Hollie movement at Jessica's expense. So sick of these tedious "it's rigged" allegations - get real - that's how America voted. I, for one, was pleased Jessica was last and am sad she's not eliminated. She sings the same song every time and is so boring. Hollie, on the other hand, does have some personality and can mix it up a bit.
@Derry I actually found it more shocking for Jessica to be in the bottom 3 than if Phillip were there, because Phillip seems to be stalling right now, losing momentum. Plus I was sure that his group had to be the bottom 3 because Hollie was in it - wow, can't believe Hollie was in the top 3.
@Kris_7 I am guilty too - she's my favorite but I only voted for her like 2 weeks out of the whole season because I assumed she'd be safe. From what I've seen, she's got way more fans online than the others have, her performance videos have gotten the most views by a landslide, she's never been in the bottom 3, and she's consistently great every week. So I didn't think she needed my votes. I will be voting from now on, even though I think this was probably rigged.
@kantaru I guess since Jermaine got disqualified, they only have to eliminate 1 next week and will still be on schedule. I think Hollie will be next to go.
@KennethChow bad song choice...wooden personaiity.....her loyal fans just assuming shes safe.....I totally am not surprsied with her being lowest vote getter
@KennethChow Pia Toscano is a victim
@ArchieSue lol...... it paid off.. hehehehe
@raordonio even if She will fail to win this AI title... I can really feel..... record producers will be bidding for JSan voice....
@wildhorse19 seriously, I dont like song JSan sung...... its bit overly killed song ... something like a lullaby song performed by a rock star.... the Voice is there but the song choice is indeed poor.... it doesnt even showcase more context of her voice... in that Jazmine song...
@Idolwild P2 in the final would be boring.. Colton + another female would be interesting though...
@Idolwild Im with you not gonna watch
@Idolwild SAME HERE! that would be BORING!
@Idolwild might actually be even more boring than last season's finale
Jessica is also stalling - same song each week - often happens to those who are very good from the start - where there is not much room for improvement, they tend to sound the same all the time. Stop hating on Hollie - she's very good and the more the judges are rude to her the more support she will have.
@JulieBarbara My argument for Jessica's being bottom 3 is not shocking due to several strong female contender being eliminated early on the show (eg. Pia Toscano, Jennifer Hudson and prob Latoya). Yes, Philip's performances is stalling and 1 dimensional but It's very unlikely that a highly-pimped-strong-male-contender to be voted off early.
@jlscott13 ok ....
@KennethChow I think TV learned its lesson about rigging results in the TV game show scandals of the 50s......yes im sure she had lowest
@djfabian are you really sure?
@bloodymondei @KennethChow I AGREE! this is so season3!
@kantaru @raordonio YES! jsanchez will have a carrer after these for sure, even if she's not the winner this year, mexico and philippines would be there... :))) just thinking...
@Mikhail XO @raordonio Mikhail xo be fair for jessica!!!!
@Mikhail XO BLEEH!
@Mikhail XO ok skylar vs. colton!
@Mikhail XO @Idolwild I HOPE SO! i wanna see 2 girls in a finale....FOR A CHANGE!
@amandanoa @JulieBarbara @Derry I don't think so,Hollie must be out.
@amandanoa @JulieBarbara @Derry
@djfabian are u sure? ugh.
@rtee yep.. thats the reality in the philippines.. I would rather see her performing in Cali or mex....
Well guys dont get mad at me.. its the reality of showbiz in the phils....
@kantaru @Daydreamer @raordonio I Disagree ...i love fair looking ladies
@Daydreamer @raordonio Dont think shell consider the asian country... shell have a career here in phils but nahh dont thnk filipinos like a fair looking lady... Filipinos are fond of idolizing caucasian looking artists....
@rtee i was so sad jessica got saved!
@AlfredoSaldivar @Mikhail XO @raordonio He's pissed and will always be pissed! LOL.

Despite hailing as a victory the seven weeks of fighting that killed more than 2,100 Palestinians and destroyed large swathes of Gaza's infrastructure, Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, appears to have emerged as the main political casualty of Operation Protective Edge. In late July, Netanyahu's approval ratings stood at 82 per cent. Last week, as the ceasefire began, his popularity had plummeted to 32 per cent.
Israel politics
Israel's large Palestinian minority is facing an unprecedented backlash of incitement and violent reprisals as Israeli Jews rally behind the military operation in Gaza, human rights groups have warned. Palestinian citizens have been accused of being "traitors" and a "fifth column" for criticising the attack on Gaza, in a surge of ethnic hatred by the Jewish majority not seen since the outbreak of the second intifada 14 years ago.
In some parts of Israel, voters in Tuesday's elections will be casting a ballot not on how well their municipality is run but on how to stop "Arabs" moving in next door, how to prevent mosques being built in their community, or how to "save" Jewish women from the clutches of Arab men. According to analysts and residents, Israel's local elections have brought a tide of ugly racism to the fore, especially in a handful of communities known as "mixed cities", where Jewish and Palestinian citizens live in close proximity.
Those who hoped that Barack Obama would be arriving in Israel to bang Israeli and Palestinian heads together, after four years of impasse in the peace process, will be sorely disappointed. At the weekend, Arab-American leaders revealed that Obama had made it clear he would not present a peace plan, because Israel has indicated it is not interested in an agreement with the Palestinians.
Will the Palestinians be able to take advantage of President Obama's apparent renewed interest in diplomacy? Here is the rub. Benjamin Netanyahu already has a stranglehold on the politics of his potential peace partners. He can easily manipulate the fortunes of the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on the two biggest tests he faces: the peace process overseen by the international community, and reconciliation talks with the rival Palestinian faction Hamas.
Shortly before polling day in Israel, the Arab League issued a statement urging Israel's large Palestinian minority, a fifth of the country's population, to turn out en masse to vote. The call revealed a profound, if by now well-established, misunderstanding of Israeli politics. It assumed that the Israeli polity can be divided neatly into left and right wings, and that the differences between the two correspond primarily to relative willingness to make concessions to advance the cause of peace.
This election has been a personal blow to Netanyahu, but not to the right. Netanyahu misread the public mood, but not on the central issues that should define the left-right divide in Israel: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and decades of belligerent Israeli occupation. Far from a collapse of the right, the election demonstrated that the right is continuing to push the center of political gravity ever further rightwards.
As Nazareth, the capital of Israel's Palestinian minority, gears up for the country's general election next week, the most common poster in the city features three far-right leaders noted for their virulently anti-Arab views. Paid for by one of the largest Palestinian parties, the posters are intended to mobilize the country's Palestinian citizens to vote. They pose a blunt question in Arabic: "Who are you leaving it [the Israeli parliament] to?"
The inciting cause of the latest confrontation between Israel and Hamas has little to do with the firing of rockets, whether by Hamas or the other Palestinian factions. The conflict predates the rockets – and even the creation of Hamas – by decades. It is the legacy of Israel's dispossession of Palestinians in 1948, forcing many of them from their homes in what is now Israel into the tiny Gaza Strip. That original injustice has been compounded by the occupation Israel has not only failed to end but has actually intensified in recent years with its relentless siege of the small strip of territory.
The speculation among Israelis and many observers is that an Obama second term will see much greater pressure on Israel both to make major concessions on Palestinian statehood and to end its aggressive posturing towards Iran over its supposed ambition to build a nuclear warhead. Such thinking, however, is fanciful. The White House's approach towards Netanyahu and Israel is unlikely to alter significantly.
Israelis barely had time to absorb the news that they were heading into a summer election when Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu yesterday pulled the rug from underneath the charade. Rancourous early electioneering had provided cover for a secret agreement between Netanyahu and the main opposition party, Kadima, to form a new, expanded coalition government.
Ehud Barak, Israel's defence minister, appears to have driven the final nail in the coffin of the Zionist left with his decision to split from the Labor party and create a new "centrist, Zionist" faction in the Israeli parliament. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pressing reasons for wanting Barak to stay in the most rightwing government in Israel's history. He has provided useful diplomatic cover as Netanyahu has stymied progress in a US-sponsored peace process.
A new opinion poll reveals not only a further shift rightwards in popular Israeli attitudes but also hints at the reasons for Benjamin Netanyahu's continuing inflexibility in peace talks with the Palestinians. The latest survey, published last weekend, found that 37 per cent want to deny non-Jewish citizens voting rights, and 69 per cent support proposed legislation requiring a loyalty pledge from non-Jews to Israel as a "Jewish and democratic state".
Pressure is mounting on Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to bring the opposition leader Tzipi Livni into the government after last week's difficult meeting with the US president, according to senior analysts. Yaron Ezrahi, a political science professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, said Mr Netanyahu now understood that he faced a stark choice between clashing with the White House and ditching the far-right parties in his coalition.
Ehud Olmert, who handed over the Israeli premiership to Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday after three years heading the government, suffered a slow and public political demise. The eight lame-duck months since his resignation have been spent energetically refashioning his image as a successful leader — the "Olmert myth", as one commentator recently called it. Humiliated in a war in Lebanon and buffeted by corruption scandals at home, Mr Olmert is reported to believe he will one day make a political comeback like Mr Netanyahu, who led the government in the late 1990s.
The near-tie in parliamentary seats between the centrist Kadima party and the right-wing Likud is evidence of a dramatic lurch rightward by the Israeli electorate this week. Kadima leader Tzipi Livni won a wafer-thin victory after the final results were released yesterday because traditional left-wing voters defected to her from Meretz and the once-dominant Labor party. Likewise Mr Netanyahu and his right-wing Likud party failed to muster the necessary votes to ward off Ms Livni's challenge because traditional Likud supporters drifted into the camp of the far-right.
Elias Khoury, a 33-year-old architect from the village of Ibilin in Galilee, has been a lifelong supporter of the Communist Democratic Front, the only joint Arab-Jewish party represented in the Israeli parliament. No longer. Tomorrow, when Israelis head to the polls to elect their next government, Mr Khoury – one of the country's 1.2 million Arab citizens – will be staying home rather than casting a vote. "After the attack on Gaza, I am sure there will never be two states here. It's going to be either a Jewish state with no Arabs, or an Arab state with no Jews."
Of the three politicians who announced the military assault on Gaza to the world on Saturday, perhaps only the outgoing prime minister Ehud Olmert has little to lose – or gain – from its outcome. Flanking the Israeli prime minister were two of the main contenders for his job: Tzipi Livni, the foreign minister and the new leader of Mr Olmert's centrist party, Kadima, and Ehud Barak, the defence minister and leader of the left-wing Labor Party. The attack on Gaza may make or break this pair's political fortunes.
Tzipi Livni, the woman leading the ruling Kadima party into Israel's forthcoming elections, stoked anger in the region last week when she warned that a peace deal would put the future of the country's 1.2 million Palestinian citizens inside Israel in doubt. Speaking to a group of Jewish schoolchildren in Tel Aviv, she said: "When the Palestinian state is created, I will be able to go to Palestinian citizens, who we call Israeli Arabs, and say to them – you are residents with equal rights, but your national solution is in another place."

KDE 4.1, part 2
Plasmoids - The life blood of KDE4
For many, the verdict was out regarding Plasmoids, the KDE4 widgets that come bundled and run with the desktop, like an especially bossy version of the old Superkaramba. We were rather partial to the widgets, and knew that the lack of variety would not be an issue as more people started to create their own. Even at this stage, there are a number of new widgets out there, ranging from useful to entertaining. But many were worried about the initial release's occasional problems with Plasmoids -- reports of crashing and freezing and issues with widget behavior.
The Plasma engine seemed to be one of the last things the KDE4 team had to finish up. It's not terribly surprising, as it was a major change from any previous versions, it's an extremely ambitious project, and face it, there was a lot that could go wrong. It seems that the worst thing that happened for the KDE4 team was simply that time ran out. Plasma was released in January with the final 4.0 release, and it still was (and felt) very alpha. People that liked the widgets were at best a little uneasy, people that didn't like the idea of Plasmoids used the intermittent flakiness as an argument why Plasma wouldn't work.
With the roll out this week of KDE 4.1, it is obvious that Plasma is getting the "Most Improved" award this semester. It is exceedingly stable, and fast, and behaves consistently across various widgets.
Perhaps it's purely psychological, but we feel like the widgets have "calmed down" a lot. Though we are given the opportunity to add widgets with just about every right mouse click, the options available for placement, sizing and locking feel easier to maneuver and a lot more responsive. We've always really liked the idea of the widgets, but they felt commandeering. We especially liked the Folder View widget. Ours shows the desktop icons by default (but you can set it to show any folder you want, and even display specially filtered content). Sure, it's very possible to add each shortcut to your desktop as a widget if you prefer, but this seems a lot neater and easier to control.
Adding widgets is painless, as is removing them. The "Add Widgets" dialog is a warehouse of pre-installed widgets. KDE4 gives the ability to rate them as favorites and sort by various criteria and categories. Installing widgets can be as easy as a click, however, it didn't seem to work for us. We aren't sure if this had something to do with our generic OpenSUSE install, the install of the KDE 4.1 release candidate initially used, or if some bit of communication was missing between KDE4 and KDE-Look. In some ways though, it was a more interesting trip to visit KDE-Look's Plasmoid pages directly to see all the widgets, instead of just the highest rated or newest, and it wasn't really much more work to install them.

Not sure if it's Sam or the fact that Leonard is always a reliable option or the new faces, but this is a good feeling. Haven't had to worry about blowing an 8 point lead late in 2nd half.
