Sure, it's hard to beat a three-year-old hitting her daddy in the junk with a Nerf bat. Or an overweight mother-of-the-bride having a ward-robe malfunction on the dance floor. But the Found Footage Film Festival isn't looking for America's Funniest Home Videos-type clips. Since 2004, comedy writers Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher (whose creds include stints with David Letterman and Stephen Colbert) have mined thrift shops and garage sales for VHS tapes, creatively recycling them into a traveling roadshow and hosting one-night presentations of the various clips for audiences across the country. The lineup of odd and hilarious salvaged videos screening at Aurora Picture Show includes one selection peppered with specific local flavor. ''This all-new Found Footage Festival program features a 1996 ferret-care video we found at a Salvation Army in Houston last year,'' says Prueher. ''We'll also be revealing for the first time that we were the ones behind the Kenny Strasser yo-yo pranks that hit news stations in the Midwest.' (A series of talk-show appearances by a bogus and completely inept yo-yo expert.) This program contains mature content, Aurora cautions, making us wonder what exactly they're doing with those yo-yos.

Hoping to snap their season-long six-game losing streak Saturday night, the Phillies face an uphill battle with Raul Valdes starting in place of Cliff Lee, who was scratched with a stiff neck.
The cards aren't stacked in the Phillies' favor Saturday night. Here are some of the biggest challenges they'll face:
- Raul Valdes (1-0, 7.59) will start for just the second time in his career — he last started for the Phillies on June 27 last year against the Pirates. He pitched two innings and allowed three runs, taking the loss. With Lehigh Valley, the 35-year-old has started a dozen games this season and sports a 3.10 ERA with 59 K's and 20 walks in 66.2 innings.
- Max Scherzer (14-1, 3.14), the AL's All-Star game starter and league leader in wins, goes for Detroit. He's incredibly tough to hit this year — opponents are .203 against him — and he boasts an incredible 5.06 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Surprisingly, he's been easier to score off of at Comerica Park (4.20 ERA) than on the road (2.21).
- Michael Martinez will make his first start since the final day of last season. He's gotten just six major-league at-bats this year but was hitting .298 through 62 games with Lehigh Valley.
- AL MVP-favorite Miguel Cabrera is back in the lineup after sitting out the last four games. Obviously bad news for the Phillies' pitching, as Cabrera has an outside chance to do the unthinkable and win a second Triple Crown. He leads the AL in hitting (.358) and is second in homers (31) and RBIs (96).
Here are the lineups:
1) Michael Young, 3B
2) Kevin Frandsen, 1B
3) Jimmy Rollins, SS
4) Chase Utley, 2B
5) Delmon Young, DH
6) Darin Ruf, LF
7) Laynce Nix, RF
8) Erik Kratz, C
9) Michael Martinez, CF
1) Austin Jackson, CF
2) Torii Hunter, RF
3) Miguel Cabrera, 3B
4) Prince Fielder, 1B
5) Victor Martinez, DH
6) Jhonny Peralta, SS
7) Matt Tuiasosopo, LF
8) Hernan Perez, 2B
9) Alex Avila, C

text: The patent war between NVIDIA and Samsung isn't going to wind down any time soon. Samsung has backed up its countering lawsuit against NVIDIA with a US International Trade Commission complaint asking the agency to block imports of NVIDIA's GeForce graphics chips and Tegra mobile processors. While it's not clear just which parts are under scrutiny, the dispute names a slew of third-party device makers who'd have to stop selling hardware in the US. Most of them are video card designers, such as Biostar and EVGA, but the action would also affect Tegra-based gadgets like OUYA's mini console and the Wikipad gaming tablet.

Ballmer and Gates defend Vista, drop Windows 7 hints
"Zomg if u like Vista u must be a fanboi!"
I was an ex-XP fanboy who always weas the first to cry "VIsta is worthless waahhaaa" and then a few months back I decided to try VIsta and haven't looked back since, I really like it. Everything works smoothly, the OS never bogs down for me like XP did, and with UAC and indexing turned off it's a great experience. XP is history now in my eyes, albeit an important piece of history.
LG KF700 slider phone
Reg don't do research into pricing...
They just take the quickest bog-standard MSRP they can find and publish it as though it reflects reality.
HTC's Diamond iPhone rival unwrapped
What a joke...
Reasons why for me this is a definate fail:
-4GB internal memory, NO additional SD expansion slot. They think 4GB is enough for a new flagship model? Are they serious? The iPhone has 8GB, double the capacity, how they can only give 4GB and no room for expansion is beyond me. This instantly makes it next to useless as a serious media player.
-No 3.5mm jack. No excuse for this nowadays, and make it useless as an MP3 player imo. I don't care adapters, it's a huge oversight and unforgivable in any modern device.
So yeah... despite a decent touchscreen and GPS functionality this is a complete no-go for me. It's a castrated device with one major shortcoming: the memory, and a minor but not insignificant shortcoming, the 3.5mm jack.
Also the lack of a decent on-screen keyboard a-la iPhone in Windows is a major drawback to any PDA phone without a QWERTY keyboard imo.
I'll wait for iPhone v2, the new HTC Raphael, or the Xperia X1 methinks.
Four 1TB hard drives on test
Well in future Leo may I reccommend using the following UK stores to price-check on hardware...
...you will thus then be pretty much assured of finding the pretty much the lowest realistic price of anything hardware-related between those four stores, as each have their strengths and weaknesses for different products. Bookmark 'em!
I also think you've missed the point that numerous other professional reviews have cottoned onto with the WD GP though and that is that performance isn't THAT bad considering it will be used only as a storage drive in 9/10 cases (pun noted, but not intended), and even as a silent and cool HTPC drive it will be fine for streaming and recording and anything else you want to do with it. The drive was never meant to be a performance monster... it was only ever meant to provide the lowest energy consumption and noise/vibration possible at a competetive price-point, that is its' sole reason for existing, and it does the job admirably. It won't be used for boot, shutdown, intensive server work... anything of the sort... and for it to be this efficient is a very nice step in the right direction for a HD manufacturer to take. WD will be bringing out a new 1TB monster based on their new 320GB platter technology soon (basically like the Samsung F1's) anyway so we will then see an uber-performing drive that will stay up there with the big boys.
All the best,
Real-world pricing of these drives and other comments...
Hi Reg,
It would be nice if you made the effort to actually gauge the real-world pricing of these drives before publishing your review.
You state the Samsung is the most expensive of these drives yet it is in realtity the cheapest, costing just £119inc at Savastore.com! In contrast the cheapest price for the Seagate is around £138inc, and likewise for the Western Digital GP. The Hitachi is still around £150inc. Thus this spins the conclusion that the Samsung is the performance monster but seriously hampered by pricing on its head, and effectively changes your review.
Also, mentioning the various warranties would have been nice.
A bit of attention to details like this would really help with your reviews as it really doesn't take much effort to get the info.

Hilton to go down for 23 days
I can't begin to express my disgust...
...at how a woman with a complete disregard for the law, a woman who has driven dangerously on camera, and been caught drink-driving no less than two times, gets off scot-free like this, and even worse has the bare-faced cheek to lobby a petition trying to get her off the hook, calling her conviction "malicious and unecessary"! A "normal" person would get their license revoked at the very least as well as spending time in the joint, but Paris gets her sentence cut in half for "good behaviour"? It is an insult not only to the people who get convicted of drink-driving, but also to the families of those who have lost loved ones to it.
Another example of the disgraceful state of U.S. law, and the preferential treatment it gives those with power and money. As bad as this sounds, I do hope she drink drives again, and I do hope she has a real accident as a result. I don't think anything less will get through to her.
As you can tell i'm severely disgusted.
eBay profits jump 52 per cent
How ironic...
...that for a company that is without a doubt one of the biggest in the business, and only then because of the people that choose to use it's services, that the quality and level of customer support is negligible and verging on the scandalous. I find it amazing how no regulatory bodies have seen fit to investigate this site for the sheer volume of complaints it receives for non-existent customer service.
But who cares... they're only making obscene profits off of our backs, right?

A big issue in this past campaign for county executive was whether the county has enough police officers to ensure that Nassau is a safe place to live. Nassau Police Benevolent Association (PBA) President Gary DelaRaba has been outspoken about not having enough officers in the county while Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi has said the county's crime rate has been at its lowest in over 30 years. But while the debate persisted, a task force appointed by Mayor Jack M. Martins has been studying whether it is feasible for the village to have its own police department is ready to issue its report. The report will be unveiled on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at village hall with a work session at 6:30 p.m. and a public meeting at 7:30 p.m.
Last Wednesday, the mayor and the village board held two hearings having to do with taxicabs as one company acknowledged non-compliance with the village code while its competitor tried to make a case for the need for more cabs. More than two hours later, the village board walked away with 1,000 coupons for discounted rides.
The village's biggest fundraiser, the Mineola Mustang Run/Walk, will take place Sunday morning, Nov. 20, rain or shine. This year, record numbers of participants are expected to turn out to what has become a fall tradition in Mineola.
The Mineola High School boys varsity soccer team has continued its magical season with another first. The Mustangs earned the first county championship in the history of its soccer program, which was established in 1955.

Greetings Chargers Nation!Posted by on July 19, 2012 – 11:12 AM
What's up Chargers fans? Kendall Reyes here. I'm real excited about doing this blog and giving you guys some insight into the life of a rookie.
It all started with the draft obviously, and I've been real busy since then. It was really special when I got drafted because I had my whole family with me. And I mean my whole family. It's been a long time since we were all together like that so that meant a lot to me.
After I was selected, I came out here and did the press conference, which was a great first experience. Then I went back home and worked out for two weeks before coming back here and getting started on the OTA's. That was another great experience as I got introduced to the playbook and met a lot of the guys. I've been learning a lot since then, and I feel like I'm fitting in well with the team. I've been working really hard to try to get used to a new system and playing with my new teammates.
The last couple weeks I spent back home, but have still been working really hard. I had the rookie symposium, which I really enjoyed. And now I'm back in town for good and ready to get started. California's beautiful, and while I haven't had a ton of free time, when I do get some time to myself I've gone to the beach a bunch. I also checked out Sea World which was pretty fun too.
It's really nice out here, but to me it's all about working hard and getting better every day. I've been working with Jacques Cesaire a lot. He's one of the guys on the defensive line that has been looking out for me and helping me get ready for training camp, which starts Sunday when rookies report.
It's hard to express just how excited I am for it all to begin. I definitely want to prove myself to this team and organization that I will do anything to help this team win. I'm excited and ready to compete and ready to play.
I'll be sure to check in with you guys next week and let you know how the first couple days have gone.

Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington admitted his club has less payroll flexibility than past seasons, and as teams continue to solve their ninth-inning needs, that's bad news for Ryan Madson. [Link]
Madson, who was 32-for-34 in save opportunities in his first season as a full-time closer, has seen the closer market collapse, while the Red Sox, the largest-market team with a ninth-inning vacancy, appears to be in no great rush to fill it. 'We can kind of let the market come to us," Cherington told WEEI in Boston. "We've had conversations with the agents for both guys (Madson and free agent starter Joe Saunders) as well as several other free agent options. We'll continue dialogue. We don't have as much room in our payroll as we've had in previous years, but we're trying to figure out ways to improve our pitching staff. Maybe we have to be a little more creative this winter in doing that than in some other winters, but we're not ruling out anything."
Madson, who is the best closer on the market, rejected the Phillies' arbitration offer and could very well settle for a two-year deal, or even a one-year deal, somewhere anyway, including a renegotiated deal with the Phillies. Peter Gammons reported at the Winter Meetings that clubs were unwilling to go beyond $7 million a season for Madson or any of the other remaining closers. It's possible Mad Dog may wind up with only $7-8 million guaranteed dollars while Jonathan Papelbon got over $50 million and Heath Bell received $27 million.
Jimmy Rollins, the Phillies' other marquee free agent, has also seen his market shrink.

I was talking with a friend about inspirations for creating content and how good ideas can come from the most unlikely places. But then I realized that these "places" aren't exactly unlikely, they are just not what most people consider likely traditional or artistic sources of inspiration (such as art, beauty, poetry, touching and tender human moments or motivational words from others).
I don't know about you, but those sound like old romantic sources of inspiration to me. When was the last time you were inspired by a poem? Ok, seriously, when was the last time you even read a poem? At the risk of sounding uncultured, it's been a while for me.
Instead, I find inspiration for content in every day and very, very mundane things.
Recently, I was gathering our recycling to be put out and I suddenly thought about reusing and repurposing content. I wasn't in work mode; I was just doing some household chores. I made sure to I jot down a note to myself and now we are going to have a webinar about repurposing content. Now, the link between repurposing content and recycling may seem obvious, but I hadn't thought about the concept in quite the same way before.
And while that recycling issue struck me (admittedly, it's also a hot eco/green issue right now), it might also resonated with those creating content for a variety of different types of sites on a range of topics.
Here are some examples:
For a pet site: what are some new ways that people are recycling dog waste? I read a story recently about Cambridge mass using poop to power the lights in a city park. Maybe there are others doing the same or other methods for recycling doggie poop. That could make a good short blog post on your site.
For a luggage or travel site: now that airlines have very strict regulations about baggage size and high fees for luggage, what are people doing with older bigger suitcases that are unusable? Is there a recycling program from any of the luggage makers? Is anyone doing something fun like making purses out of them? It might also be a good launching point for a post about how things have changed with regard to the life span of luggage and how a set of expensive luggage is no longer given at graduation and intended to last a lifetime.
For a knitting site: you might want to explore new ways to reuse old sweaters or clothing or how to repurpose yarn for creating new items.
I recently was watching the news and saw an Amber Alert for a missing 8-year old girl. The situation was tragic and I felt such sympathy for the parents of the missing child. But it also got me thinking about how there is a national system for alerting people to these situations and how these systems rely on the public to help police and investigators find children.
Then the wheels started churning about how information and content is delivered to the masses. Is it enough to have a national alert? Is the family using social media to spread the word and find their daughter? Did they post a video on YouTube make a Facebook page as well? Not everyone watches the local news and not everyone drives on highways that display the Amber Alerts.
That thought led me to think about how content is distributed and disseminated and the importance of having multiple channels of delivery since people consume information in a variety of ways.
I know that example might seem like a leap, but it's really not. And you might have taken away something totally different from watching that very same news segment. Obviously, my thought process is different from yours. We all have our unique perspectives and processes. That's what will result in unique and compelling content.
I also, don't want to seem like I'm minimizing such a tragic event and have you think that I turned it into fodder for my own gain. I just want to illustrate how everyday things can spark ideas.
I have also found inspiration watching some lame reality TV shows or based on a phrase that came up in a random exchange with a stranger at the grocery store or while walking down the street to run an errand or while attending a sporting event.
The bottom line is that you never know when inspiration will strike. You can't force it; you just have to be open to looking at everyday things in new ways.

The NBA season is here. With that in mind, it is time to flip through the book on the 2012-13 season and to take a look at what the season might have in store — especially when it comes to the Magic. Be sure to look out for more of these team capsules and to check out all the blogs taking part in this year's NBA Blog Preview (don't worry, I will be linking to all of them in the next few weeks … months … this preview IS never-ending, afterall).

It is kind of sad thinking about how the Magic and Celtics rivalry is kind of ending. There was some legitimate distaste between the two teams — luckily Dwight Howard can keep hating Celtics green in a Lakers uniform — that carried over off the court. Does anyone remember Paul Pierce's statements after the 2009 Finals when he called the Magic poodles going up against the pit bull that was the Lakers?
The 2010 Eastern Conference Finals only served to make that rivalry go deeper. And the Magic continued to fight off the Celtics into the 2011 season before the wheels finally came off.
Last year, Boston showed Orlando's true colors. A record-breaking low performance in Boston were the first sign of some real trouble with the Magic as they shot nearly 30 percent and scored only 56 points. A few days later, the Magic bounced back at home to get a 27-point lead only to see the Celtics storm back and take the lead and the win.
One of these titans was going up and one was going down. It was clear which direction Orlando was going after that week.
Boston though went through its own transition this offseason. Ray Allen decided to leave Bean Town and chase his championship in MIami. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo remain however. And they brought in Courtney Lee and Jason Terry for reinforcements. The Celtics are still invested in winning a championship with this group and this era.
And they are going to give it one last run.
The constant theme once again with Boston will be defense. Kevin Garnett, when healthy, is still one of the top defenders in the league and sets the tone for his team. Pierce and Terry have a certain amount of championship grit about them. And Doc Rivers continues to get the most out of his players.
Midway through last season, everyone had the Celtics left for dead. Everyone called them over the hill and done. Maybe the Celtics lucked out by not facing the Bulls with a healthy Derrick Rose, but the Celtics looked as good as they did in 2008 in pushing the Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Boston's Big Three would not go out without a fight. And this new team will not either. The Celtics are not going to take a dip even with the loss of Ray Allen.
How the Celtics Will Beat the Magic: We are foresseing some offensive problems for the Magic this year. So the Celtics' biggest strength — their defense — will be on full display against the Magic. Without a bruising athletic forward who can score at will and get others involved (named LeBron James), there is very little the Magic can do to break down this Celtics defense. If Boston plays its defensive gameplan, Boston should be able to dispose of Orlando relatively easy and keep Orlando off the board. The Celtics have an advantage at just about every position, making this a very difficult matchup.
How the Magic Will Beat the Celtics: Several of the Celtics bloggers express their biggest concern as age and injuries. With experience comes a lot of those problems. Boston has survived injuries in the past during the regular season to be healthy during the Playofs. The Magic can always hope to get lucky on that front (or not, as Orlando learned when it lost to Boston without Rajon Rondo last season). Really, Orlando's best bet to beat Boston is to run and get points before Boston can get set in its defense. Without a matchup advantage, the Magic have to try and create one or beat the Celtics down the floor. Easier said than done. But such a relentless offensive attack might wear down Boston, particularly if Orlando catches Boston on a back-to-back.

Rosa, Groundcover 'Flower Carpet Pink'
Groundcover Rose
Deciduous, Ground covers, Shrubs
The rose is the queen of flowers, the most loved and widely planted shrub in all temperate parts of the world. More than 14,000 varieties are grown. Although mostly deciduous, roses can be evergreen in mild climates. Their stems, sometimes quite prickly, may be erect, arching, trailing, or scrambling. Leaves are divided into three, five, or seven leaflets, usually with toothed margins.
These are low-growing plants, around 2 or 2 1/2 ft. tall, that spread to at least 3 ft. wide (some reach 6 ft. or wider). Vigor, disease resistance, and a profusion of bloom from late spring until frost are the hallmarks of this category. Groundcover roses are perfect for covering slopes, creating low barriers to foot traffic on level ground, and growing in containers.
The most commonly available groundcover roses are those in the Flower Carpet series, available in a wide range of colors. Several of the trademarked Meidiland roses, such as 'White Meidiland', are sufficiently low growing to be used as groundcovers. 'Sea Foam', a shrub rose, makes a fine groundcover about 3 ft. tall and 6 ft. wide; and some miniature roses have a pretty, sprawling habit. Several of the species roses and some of the climbing roses make good groundcovers as well.

One Size Does Not Fit All
TVs range in size from 5 inches up to 64 inches and greater. TVs are measured by their screen size. This measurement is made diagonally across the viewing area. You can use this measurement to help you decide which size is right for the space you'll be using.

TV size is measured diagonally across the viewing area.
Start by mentally placing the TV in the room. Unless it's a flat-panel, a TV usually gets deeper and heavier as the screen gets larger. Make considerations for height, width and depth when placing it in the room. Make sure your location is reasonably close to a good power source.
Once you've placed the TV, measure the distance from your couch or viewing area. There is a formula to calculate the optimum screen size based on the viewing distance. Different TV sources alter the equation. The formula is simple:
Video tape
|Multiply the number of feet between you and the screen by 4 inches.
|Multiply the number of feet between you and the screen by 6 inches.
|Multiply the number of feet between you and the screen by 7 inches.
Of course, very few of us watch only one kind of TV. Use the chart above as a guide to find an average distance and screen size that is appropriate for your needs.
If you already have an entertainment center or armoire that you don't plan to replace, then you will be limited to the TV size it can hold. Remember, when fitting a TV into a piece of furniture, you need to consider depth and weight in addition to height and width. You should also factor in a couple of inches into your measurement to allow for proper ventilation for the new set.
Flat-panel TVs are growing in popularity because you can get a larger screen with a smaller footprint, or even hang the TV on the wall, so space is less of a concern. Ventilation is still important, though, especially for plasmas, which generate a lot of heat.
Photo courtesy Sony
A 32-inch CRT TV is great for a simple home theater or living room set-up.
Generally speaking, 27 inches or less is good for a bedroom or secondary television. Thirty-two inches and larger is a nice size for a family television or entertainment center.

At a Glance
· Cities generate 80% of global GDP and the next 15 years will see the economic importance of cities in the south and east increasing.
· Today's urban population of about 3.6 billion people is projected to reach 5 billion by 2030; the world will then be two-thirds urban. Nearly two billion new urban residents are expected in the next 20 years. Ninety percent of this growth will be in the cities of South Asia and Africa.
· Around five million people migrate every month to a city somewhere in developing countries in search of jobs and better access to services. Cities do not create poor people; poor people move to cities in the hope of improving their lives, and especially their children's.
· The built up area used by cities will double from 2000-2030. At the same time urban densities are decreasing which will increase the cost of delivering infrastructure services and make housing costs higher and less affordable.
· The poor are urbanizing faster than the population as a whole, reflecting a lower-than-average pace of urban poverty reduction. Over 1993–2002, while 50 million people were added to the count of the "$1 a day" poor in urban areas, the aggregate count of the poor fell by about 100 million, thanks to a decline of 150 million in the rural poor. Nearly one billion people live in slums.
· More than 70 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are attributable to residents of cities. Yet urbanization, if properly managed, can address sustainability issues through denser, more energy-efficient cities that are climate-resilient and that offer a high quality of life.
· Almost half a billion urban residents live in coastal areas, increasing their vulnerability to storm surges and rising sea levels.
Economic benefits of concentrated urban areas
No country has grown to middle-income status without industrializing and urbanizing. The economic future of most developing countries will be determined by the productivity of their burgeoning urban populations. In China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and elsewhere, cities have been major drivers of rapid economic growth and job creation.
World Bank action
The World Bank urban development strategy – Systems of Cities: Harnessing the Potential of Urbanization for Growth and Poverty Alleviation – takes a "system of cities" approach, which argues that managing the challenges for cities are fundamentally linked to focusing on the core elements of the city system (encouraging progressive land and housing markets; supporting city economies; making pro-poor policies a city priority; and promoting a safe and sustainable urban environment).
To support strategy implementation, the World Bank is developing standardized tools and methodologies that help leaders make better decisions based on credible evidence. One tool, The Urbanization Review, provides a robust policy framework and diagnostics to assess specific urbanization challenges and informs policy responses and the necessary tradeoffs on the location and types of infrastructure to connect across cities and to global markets. Urbanization Reviews are being undertaken in Brazil, China, Colombia, Georgia, India, Mexico, Tunisia, Turkey, and Vietnam. We also work to adapt financing instruments and knowledge products to strengthen local level capacity. We support sustainable urban development by increasing the focus on climate change, energy efficiency, and resilience in cities.
Urban growth
Rapid urban growth provides opportunities to get new growth right. Rapid urban growth is commonly characterized by expanding slums and informal areas, reflecting a lack of planning for growth and poorly functioning land and housing markets. By planning responsibly for urban growth, cities set the conditions for cost effective infrastructure provision, housing affordability improvements, better use of transit and reductions in greenhouse gases. World Bank projects support cities in all of these areas.
Sustainable cities
Cities account for about two-thirds of global energy use and more than 70 percent of GHG emissions. Integrated transport and land-use development can deliver economic, environmental, and social benefits. These benefits include improved mobility and accessibility, reduced energy use, improved air quality, lower GHG emissions, improved access to jobs, housing and urban services, and an increased quality of life and sense of community. Energy efficiency can offer practical solutions to budget-constrained cities in meeting their energy needs without sacrificing development priorities. The Bank's Eco2 Cities program aims to help cities achieve greater ecological and economic sustainability by linking environmental health, energy efficiency, and livability concerns into the way cities plan for the future.
The Global Urbanization Knowledge Platform
The Urbanization Knowledge Platform seeks to equip city managers with the knowledge, data, and innovations they need to harness urbanization for inclusive and sustainable development. Launched in 2011, the platform hosted over 15 regional dialogue events in 5 geographic regions. This has built a network of over 70 partner organizations to explore the most pressing challenges and opportunities faced by cities. In response to the needs expressed by the 750 city leaders that participated in these consultations, the Platform launched the "Rethinking Cities" initiative, and the "Partnership for Sustainable Cities", to fill key knowledge gaps and create joint solutions to important urban challenges..
Regeneration of Historic Cities and Conservation of Urban Cultural Heritage AssetsThe World Bank has a robust practice in the regeneration of historic city cores and cultural heritage, with close linkages to natural heritage and sustainable tourism. In the past two years, several large projects have been approved, for example in the Russian Federation ($100 million), China ($50 million), and Georgia ($80 million), with others under preparation.
Highlights and Results
· The Bank's urban portfolio has expanded considerably: for example, IDA commitments under the Urban Development theme have more than doubled, moving from an average of US$487 million per year during FY2001-2005, to an average of US$1,036 million per year during FY2006-2010.
· In FY2012, over 50 projects with an urban component were approved, with $4.12 billion in financing commitments. This represented 12% of overall IBRD/IDA lending that year.
· The active portfolio currently includes almost 400 IBRD/IDA operations with urban components in over 90 countries amounting to approximately $23 billion in financing commitments.
· Investment financing is provided for basic services, housing, infrastructure, slum upgrading, municipal governance, environmental improvements and adaptation, and local economic development, including cultural heritage.

BlackHat 2010 Recap
aaron posted in Uncategorized on August 4th, 2010
Here are some of the interesting things that I encountered this year at BlackHat. These are mostly talks that I went to, but there are a few things that I just happened to run across in the course of the conference. Overall it was a good conference and similar to last year. One improvement was that we were able to get our Defcon badges at BlackHat after waiting in a huge line instead of a really really huge line at Defcon.
- I had seen a talk and other information about BitBlaze before, but I mainly went to this talk to see security rockstar Charlie Miller. It ended up being a pretty interesting talk, and covered some of the ways that BitBlaze can help automate binary analysis. Among a lot of other things it has some neat features that allow you to do taint tracking and determine which registers are tainted from controlled input. There was also a white-paper released that has lots of details and examples.
- I saw an interesting talk about a new routing protocol infrastructure attack tool called Loki. It's written in python (yea), and covers many packet generation and attack modules for Layer 3 protocols, including BGP, LDP, OSPF, VRRP and quite a few others. It takes some previously released tools, adds some new functionality and wraps it in a nice GUI. It has some functional similarities to yersinia, but covers some protocols
that it doesn't. The live demos were pretty convincing.
- javasnoop is an neat looking new tool for tampering and interacting with the internals of java applications, including function hooking/tracing, debugging and instruction overwriting, etc. He made a good point in his talk that Java is easy to decompile (jad), but if you need to interact with the software after that, re-building the software is often prohibitive.
- rejava — This came up in the course of the above presentation, and it looks pretty neat as well. It's another Java decompiler, but this one allows you to interact directly with the byte code, rather than just getting static code dumps.
- psudp — I didn't see this talk, but the tool sounds interesting. It is a tool for passive network-wide covert communication and covert file exfiltration. The basic gist, it seems, is that it encodes data into unused DNS fields. Source and slides are available.
- Taviso Ormandy and Julien Tinnes talk on kernel exploits was pretty mind-blowing. They walked through several very technical kernel exploits that they've worked on in recent history. It's amazing that these guys have such a firm grasp on kernels in multiple operating systems.
- virt-ice — This was an interesting talk about a virtualization based malware analysis tool. I was slightly more interested before I found out that the tool wasn't going to be released any time soon though.
- libscizzle — Library for quickly detecting shellcode in a large binary stream.
I was originally going to create just one BlackHat/Defcon post, but it took longer than expected, so I'll be breaking it into two posts with the Defcon content tomorrow (maybe).

Students should also meet with a counselor to discuss program options and curriculum.
Financial aid is available in the form of loans and grants.

Aid must be reapplied for prior to the start of each academic year. Students may be asked at random to supply additional financial information to compare to the FAFSA and certify its accuracy as part of recent government regulations governing the disbursement of public funds.

These Noses Helps Scientist Know
April 3, 2012
In about 10 weeks, 4 dogs can sniff out and locate 1,500 scat samples of caribou, wolf and moose. That's a lot of scat.
It might be a game for the dogs, but it's serious research for Statoil Canada. The company recently received the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producer's Environment Performance Award for the development of the Scat Dog Program. This unique monitoring program has been in place for the last three winters in the oil sands region of northern Alberta.
The scat samples are examined by scientists to help determine what moose, wolf and caribou in the area are eating and where they are travelling. The scientists are also trying to assess how healthy each population is through DNA-based measures of population abundance and hormone-based measures of psychological, reproductive and nutritional health. Ultimately, the scientists hope to share their research results and suggest better ways to help manage the impact of resource development on wildlife.

The Hills Recap: Brody's Birthday, Elodie's Revengeby Free Britney at . Comments
After weeks of standing on the sidelines and weighing in on her friends' romances on The Hills, the lovely Lauren Conrad finally got a little action herself - at the birthday party for her ex, Brody Jenner, in Las Vegas.
After a surprise arrival in Las Vegas for pal Jenner's birthday, LC gave her hunky ex a birthday kiss, and then later, some "just-because" kisses. Sexy!
While we don't think these two are officially back on, that Lauren Conrad sure is cute when she gives people those flirty eyes, don't you think?
Credit for their possibly rekindled romance has to go to Brody's bud, Frankie Delgado, who seemed to spend a lot of time convincing Lauren Conrad that the reason she and Brody used to fight was - what else - the presence of Spencer Pratt.
Speaking of Frankie Delgado, he got some action himself - from LC's namesake pal, Lauren Bosworth, a.k.a. Lo. The highlight of the night was a tipsy Lo falling over and flashing her friends, to which Lauren replied, "I just saw Lo's Britney!"
Yup, it was all good in Las Vegas... except for Justin Bobby. The boyfriend of Audrina Patridge (real name Justin Brescia), J-Bobby didn't say two words the whole time, despite the girls' efforts to engage him in conversation.
When Lo and LC confront Audrina regarding J-B's unwillingness to, you know, act like an adult and speak, Audrina lets them have it, saying "Okay, I'll blow him off, I'll never see him again, just to make you guys happy... I'm done!"
The high drama of the night goes to Heidi Montag's co-worker, Elodie. Still pissed over Heidi's promotion, she quits. Then, on her last day, Elodie agrees to cover a big event for Heidi, who wants to celebrate her anniversary with Spencer.
In one of the biggest, funniest, passive-aggressive bitch moves in Hills history, Elodie says sure, she'll cover for Heidi, knowing damn well she won't even be working at the company by that night. Details, right?
As a result of Elodie's mean maneuver, Spencer and Heidi's romantic dinner at Don Antonio's Mexican Restaurant is cut short when she gets an urgent call that the event she is supposed to be running is not staffed by... anyone!
Oh snap! Next up? If you thought the Lauren Conrad sex tape drama was over ... you were right. But that won't stop everyone from pointing fingers at each other regarding who spread the rumors in the first place!
Ok to whoever said someone is crazy to quit because some gets a promotion over them, then i guess i'm crazy too! I TRAINED my supervisor after working at my job for a year and when i got another job i quit. It's degrading to train someone who is supposed to be over you, i didn't screw the girl over because she was really nice and understood why i was so upset. My friend and i worked together and we both trained her and then she became our supervisor. I love Elodie, Heidi's an idiot and soon she will see Spencer for the conniving fuzz face that he is, you can already see in her mind that the wheels in her head are turning.
I agree with Monica. Heidi deserved the promotion.. who cares if she went behind her back its business!
Lauren and Brody are too gorgeous together. They should date... they would be the best looking couple in hollywood. Even more gorgeous than Brad and Angelina.
Elodie is very vindictive. First of all, she prances around the office telling everyone that she wants that promotion like it's hers. Did anyone ever think that maybe Elodie didn't get the promotion because she sucks! Then, she quits the job becasue of Heidi? Come On! She has serious problems (coo coo... if you know what I mean). To do that to Heidi, she really must be crazy. Who does things like that? Everyone is so against Heidi. Her and Elodie were not close buddies, just co-workers. "It's business, not personal"!
I was shocked that Elodie did that. Although Heidi deserved it, I didn't think Elodie would stoop to her level like that. It's obvious that Heidi can do no wrong at Bolthouse, as she was completely unqualified for that position she snagged. Brent wants to stay in the spotlight, so Elodie never stood a chance. She did the right thing by walking away. I think a classy move would have just been to walk away with her head up high, moving on in a way Heidi never will.
Lauren and Brody make a gorgeous pair. She is gorgeous and he is just plain beautiful. I agree they will make to good looking kids.
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elodie did a great thing. Heidi thought she was all that and could run the show. Well guess what, Looks like someone got a taste of REALITY. Great move Elodie. Heidi and Spencer deserve each other. Both of them will not have any friends. Go Lauren, Audrina and Elodie!!!!!!
I loved it!!!! However, i'm still looking forward to the day that LC and Heidi will end up together again. I know that they really do love each other still. Heidi Really misses Lauren but she's too cockwhipped over Spencer to get a clue!!!! I love you Lauren and Audrina is super HOT!!!!
OMG!!! Love this episode because of Lauren and Brody. They would make the perfect couple and babies. They would have gorgeous children... A couple on the hills that is actually fun and have chemistry. Justin Bobby needs to get over himself! Team Lo! Speidi needs to be kicked off the show. Team Elodie!!!!
Loved Loved Loved what Elodie did!! Fake or not... it was great. I can't stand Heidi - she's a backstabbing,no talent, stuck on herself, lying, two faced rat! Heidi & Spencer are so much alike they deserve each other!

Week 2 Nutrition: We Need to Talk About Breakfast
Weve all heard that it's the most important meal of the day, yet a lot of us still skip it. Nutritionist Stephanie Middleberg makes the case for getting into the breakfast habit for good.
What to eat
You may be used to waking up wanting a breakfast loaded with carbohydrates, but its actually protein that will keep your hunger cravings and food choices stable for the rest of the day. "For sustained energy and health, I recommend a mix of protein and produce (fruit) with either a healthy carb or healthy fat, like Greek yogurt," Middleberg says.
If youre still hungry after having a protein-rich breakfast, try holding off until lunch or having a fruit if youre really craving sugar. Remember: Theres always room for personalization based on your own Circadian rhythms and hunger levels.
Try these healthy breakfast recipes from Stephanie Middleberg.
