Capped Well
Plastic bottle caps can be redeemed to provide chemotherapy treatments to cancer sufferers or prosthetic limbs for wounded soldiers.
[The Roanoke Times, August 2008]
There is a request going around in our area asking for plastic bottle caps of any
kind — water
bottles, soda, laundry detergent, etc. Supposedly, if you save 1,500 of these caps, someone is entitled to a free chemo treatment.
[Collected via e-mail, September 2008]
I have heard about collecting bottle caps for cancer patients. Apparently, for every 1,000 caps collected, a patient can receive a chemotherapy treatment.
[Collected via e-mail, October 2008]
I have been asked to collect used bottle caps from plastic bottles (pepsi and coke). I was told that these caps are given to chemo patients who are uninsured for chemo treatment. They are supposed to receive one minute of free chemo for one bottle cap.
[Collected via e-mail, April 2015]
Hi, I saw that you have an article on collecting plastic bottle caps to redeem for wheelchairs, chemo, etc. You list this as a FALSE story.
apparently this woman has gotten a contract with recyclers in various places to buy these caps and the money goes to those needing wheelchairs, etc.
Maybe this was once a false story but has now become true?
It is difficult to turn one's back on an appeal for help, especially one made on behalf of a gravely ill child. People want to help; their hearts do go out to others, no matter what their own circumstances might be.
That one simple inescapable fact worked to fuel a "something for nothing" hoax in and around West Virginia through the summer and fall of 2008.
Somehow people came to believe that a child in need of chemotherapy could be benefited through the collection of plastic caps from milk jugs, soda bottles, and water bottles; that for every so many of those items collected, that ailing tot would be given a chemo session free of charge. No one knew the identity of the child (although some who repeated the rumor specified he was a
boy), and the details about how many caps would earn a free session (some said 1,000, some said 1,500, some said one minute for each plastic top) shifted from telling to telling. As to who would be providing those cost-free cancer treatments, that too was up in the air: Over time, various hospitals were named as the putative parties that would trade chemo for caps, as was the American Cancer Society. The method by which such a swap was to occur (e.g., boxloads of caps handed over in exchange for chemo sessions; recycling of the caps for cash, then using of the money so garnered to pay for the treatments) also varied depending on the person passing along the rumor.
The collection effort was all in the name of aiding a sick kid. Never mind that no one knew the child's name or where he lived, or what to do with the caps, or who was behind the supposed "caps for chemo"
program — somewhere
an unnamed youngster was languishing for lack of the medical help the plastic tops of bottles could bring.
plastic bottles. It was heady stuff.
Heady enough to keep people from looking too hard at the hoax in front of them and risking their seeing it for what it was.
Plastic bottle caps have no inherent monetary value. Unlike aluminum cans (and the metal tabs attached to them), they aren't worth anything as raw material because such caps are the wrong form of plastic to be recycled. There is therefore virtually no market for used plastic bottle
tops. But even though the collected bottle caps weren't worth anything in and of themselves, and no large corporation was trumpeting its involvement in the rumored "Save a kid by saving your bottle caps" program, people's desire to help blinded them to those realities.
Little worked to stop the spread of the hoax once it was underway. While it's hard to pinpoint precisely when and where the "save a cancer-stricken child by saving your bottle caps" belief first surfaced, the manager of one concern in Beckley, West Virginia, says her store began collecting lids in June 2008 after her minister announced he had heard by phone of a lad who would receive one chemotherapy treatment for 1,500 lids. Parishioners were entreated to save their caps to aid this child, and to pass on this request to their
and other contacts. Said lids were to be taken to Raleigh General Hospital, a medical facility in that city. (According to the hospital's marketing director, Kevin McGraw, that facility is not and never has been involved in such a program. One of its employees, however, was collecting the caps by the vanload in the belief these otherwise discardables would help cancer patients, which is perhaps where the link between the caps collection and Raleigh General began.)
Other churches in the area were similarly involved in the harvesting of bottle caps for the unnamed child. They too asked their churchgoers to save these bottle caps and to ask their friends, neighbors, and employers to do so. From there the rumor spread: In August 2008,
Associated Press
reported that "churches, restaurants and businesses from Wheeling to Bluefield have been collecting plastic bottle caps, fueled by fliers that claim the caps can be redeemed for money to pay for cancer treatment."
Many people were taken in by the hoax. Girl Scouts
Troop 650
of Ellerslie, Maryland, collected plastic bottle caps and turned them in to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, believing their efforts would give a cancer patient one free chemotherapy treatment. Collection bins at area stores and businesses in Beckley, West Virginia, were stocked with thousands of bottle caps by folks who thought they were helping some poor unfortunate child gain the chemo treatments he or she so desperately needed.
Yet there never was such a child or such a program on his or her behalf. All efforts to locate the ailing tot failed, as did those to work out who to turn the caps over to or how to turn them into chemo treatments for anyone.
The American Cancer Society has
to say about the hoax:
After extensive research, the American Cancer Society has concluded that the Plastic Bottle Caps for Chemo program is a hoax. The origin of the hoax remains unclear, but it is similar to other "cash for trash" hoaxes that have circulated worldwide for years.
Thousands upon thousands of lovingly-collected caps were unceremoniously dumped in the trash once the hoax was revealed. Collection bins were taken down, and new donations of caps were turned away.
It is true that occasionally a large company will "redeem" up to a certain number of lids or labels from its products for a cash amount to be directed to a particular charity or cause (e.g.,
's annual commitment to donate 10¢ per lid from its products to breast cancer research via its "Friends In The Fight" program, up to a maximum donation of
$1.6 million).
However, such beneficences are specific product promotions meant to encourage purchase of the items bearing those labels or lids and to position the host company favorably in the shopper's mind as a warm, caring corporation committed to aiding mankind. Such promotions don't encompass every lid or label from all manner of consumer goods (including those of competitors), and the name of the business entity sponsoring the largesse is prominently featured in everything having to do with the promotion.
In August 2010 another version of the bottle cap hoax appeared at Bagram Airfield, a U.S. Air Force base in Afghanistan. Motivated by a rumor that came from no one knew where, personnel at that base began collecting caps from empty water bottles in the belief that those items would be recycled into prosthetic limbs for disabled servicemembers. Bins to collect these caps sprang up around the base, and thousands (likely hundreds of thousands) of caps were tossed into them.
Missing in all of this charitable activity was any notion of who was responsible for assembling the large collection of caps and transporting it, or where the shipment was to be sent for processing into artificial limbs. The local Judge Advocate General (JAG) office investigated the rumor and attempted to pin down the main point of contact (POC) for the cap drive, but while
locations for the plastic tops were easily found, the trails dead-ended at them.
Lt. Col. Thomas
Rodrigues, the JAG officer running the investigation, said: "Not surprisingly, with every interview at each collection site, no one had an overall POC, knew who the actual beneficiary was, or what to do with the collected caps."
Contact with Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics, Inc., the largest prosthetic limb manufacturer, confirmed that the rumor had indeed been a snipe hunt. The prosthetic company's public relations representative said that military members in need of artificial limbs receive new, top-of-the-line prosthetics, and recycled bottle caps would never be used in such products.

DOTC chief apologizes for warm temperature at NAIA-1-A A +A
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
DEPARTMENT of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya apologized on Wednesday to the public for the poor airconditioning at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 (NAIA-1), explaining that the warm temperature is an effect of the ongoing rehabilitation works at the airport.
Abaya appealed for patience and understanding.
"We sincerely apologize to the public for the warm temperature at NAIA T1...We appeal to you to kindly bear with us, as this is all part of the ongoing project which will ensure T1's structural integrity for the continued safety of its users," he said.
The NAIA-1 rehabilitation project began last January and is expected to be completed by January 2015.
"We promised a better NAIA and are on our way to delivering on this promise, but we need the public's understanding in the meantime that we are working on it," Abaya said.
According to the NAIA-1 management, certain air handling units (AHUs) had to be shut off in order to prevent dust and particles from being sucked into the airconditioning system, otherwise the whole system could be endangered.
In addition, a safety net presently covers the departure hall's ceiling, which likewise affects air circulation.
The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), which supervises NAIA, reported it will have four new chillers by August while the NAIA-1 rehabilitation project is ongoing.
These will be in addition to the three chillers which are currently operational.
Meanwhile, all AHUs are up for replacement before the year ends.
The NAIA-1 rehabilitation project entails structural retrofitting, certain architectural works and the improvement of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection facilities.
In the terminal's 30-year existence, this is the first time that government is undertaking a major project to ensure its structural integrity and to improve its worn-out facilities, Abaya said.
Last week, the DOTC chief inspected the project's progress along with the agency's independent engineer, TCGI Engineers, Inc. and contractor D.M. Consunji, Inc. (DMCI), which showed the current construction site for additional baggage carousels at the arrival area, as well as a mock-up of the planned refurbishment of the terminal's ceiling and carpeting, for better aesthetics.
"Our sacrifices now will lead to much better facilities and services in less than a year's time. We are confident that the public will find these inconveniences to have been worth it once the project is completed," Abaya said. (SDR/Sunnex)

With Virginia Tech's 9th straight victory over UVA, the Hokies will head to their 20th straight bowl game. In today's modern landscape of college football, bowl streaks aren't what they used to be. Still, anytime you can real off 20 straight seasons of six wins or more, it's something to celebrate.
Despite those streaks, there is still a lot of work to be done to our program this off-season. Virginia Tech ran 95 plays on Saturday but managed only 303 total yards. Really, when you think about it that's an impressive accomplishment. How do you run that many plays but be that bad and inconsistent offensively?
The offense sputtered for most of the first half on Saturday. Going into halftime, the Hokies had more punts, eight, then points, seven. That's not a recipe for success. What's even worse is UVA gave Tech great field position on numerous occasions but the Hokies were unable to take advantage of it.
Yesterday's game could have been a blowout of epic proportions but Tech failed to capitalize on UVA's mistakes and were largely unable to run the ball until the 2nd half. It's been amazing to watch this team seemingly find new ways to struggle. In most years, Frank Beamer's squad improves over the course of the season. This year, there may have been a small regression if anything. Boston College and UVA are both terrible football teams and the Hokies did everything they could to try and lose both.
The Hokies 9th straight win over UVA is sweet for so many reasons. My favorite one is this is our worst team in 20 years and UVA still couldn't beat us. Let that sink in for a moment. But, changes are still needed this off-season no matter what happens in our bowl game.
The offensive line is still a mess. I guess I didn't get the memo that UVA had an Alabama quality front seven. It just amazes me that our front five can make even the most pedestrian of defenses look good.
Hopefully, Beamer recognizes a problem there and makes the correct move to fix it. 2013 has the potential to be a very good season and I would hate for that to be jeopardized.
Defensively, you have to hand it to Bud Foster. This isn't one of his better units but he held the Cavalier offense in check. The Hoos managed just 217 total yards, including just 30 on the ground. It's awful tough to beat the Hokies when you can't run the ball.

During this nine game winning streak over UVA, the Hoos have yet to post more than 299 total yards. That 299 yard total came in 2004 when the streak began. In the Mike London years, the Hoos have managed just 291 yards (2010), 241 yards (2011), and 217 yards (2012). That's a very negative trend and not one I would want to analyze further If I were a UVA fan.
The Bowl Game
The Hokies will head to their 20th straight bowl game but right now, the destination is at best a guess. Tech won't know for sure where they're headed until next weekend, likely Sunday night. But, that doesn't mean I can't take a wild guess at it.
Right now, there are only three bowl eligible teams in the ACC with a better record than the Hokies. They are Florida State, Clemson, and NC State. Clemson's loss to South Carolina really hurt the ACC's chances at having two at-large teams. That means that Florida State (hopefully) will be the only team playing in a BCS game from this conference. Next, Clemson will head to Atlanta to play the 5th best SEC team. With the SEC sending likely 4 teams to BCS bowls this year (remember there's no conference cap this year), they could end up playing Mississippi State.
That leaves NC State and Virginia Tech to duke it out for the ACC's 3rd best bowl. Right now, that's the Russell Athletics Bowl (formerly the Champ Sports Bowl) in Orlando, Florida. Whoever plays in that one would have the honor of playing either Rutgers or Louisville from the Big East. Oh joy!
The next option would be the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. This one would be my preference because of two factors. A.) The Hokies aren't going to travel well this year regardless so having a bowl game in Texas isn't an issue and B.) we would play a PAC 12 opponent. Right now, USC is a possibility in this matchup and I'm sure that's a game the Sun Bowl people would jump at. If USC goes elsewhere, Washington and Oregon State could both wind up there.

One funny note, if we do end up playing Washington, they have a nearly identical "Let's Go Huskies" chant. On TV, they sound very similar.
Of course, those scenarios revolve around Florida State beating Georgia Tech next Saturday. If GT wins, it would bump FSU out of the BCS and into the Chick-fil-a bowl, Clemson likely to Orlando, NC State to the Sun, and would send Virginia Tech to the Belk Bowl in Charlotte versus Cincinnati, Syracuse, or Louisville.
So, I would probably pull for Florida State next Saturday.
2013 Season
For all intents and purposes, the 2012 season is over. With Tech headed to a lower-class bowl game, I could really care less who we play or what happens. A cool game against USC would be fun but I don't think we're good enough to beat most bowl teams.
So, I'm ready to peak ahead to the 2013 season. As it stands, the Hokies will return a good amount of talent next season. Tech will return 10 starters on defense with the only defection being Bruce Taylor. Bud Foster will also lose Antoine Hopkins who was our primary backup at defensive tackle, Jeron Gouveia-Winslow and Alonzo Tweedy at WHIP linebacker. Other than that, Tech will return almost fully loaded on defense.
Our front four will likely stay the same (Collins – Maddy – Hopkins – Gayle). Our linebackers will likely be go Ronny Vandyke at WHIP, Jack Tyler at MIKE, and Tariq Edwards at Backer. Then our secondary will be similar although I expect some personnel changes there like Kyle Fuller to safety and Detrick Bonner back to corner.
Overall, our defense should be better and deeper than it was this season. With guys like Kendall Fuller, Nigel Williams, Deon Clarke, Davion Tookes, Donaldven Manning, Dadi Nicolas, Ken Ekanem, and a few others stocking the two-deep, Tech should be deep at almost every position next season.
Offensively, this off-season will hopefully be one of change and re-birth. If Logan Thomas returns, he should have more weapons to utilize in 2013. Tech will have JC Coleman, Trey Edmunds, Drew Harris, Michael Holmes, Tony Gregory, and Chris Mangus at running back in the spring. Hopefully, we can pick out one or two off that list that can actually run the football next year. It wouldn't shock me to see a Coleman and Harris tandem if the youngster out of Pennsylvania impresses when he enrolls.
At wide receiver, Tech will return DJ Coles, who redshirted this season, and a host of other young players. Demitri Knowles, Kevin Asante, Joel Caleb, Mark Irick, Joshua Stanford, Christian Reeves, and E.L. Smiling will be looked to for expanded roles.
On the offensive line, the Hokies will need to replace both of their tackles and that's probably the biggest concern. Augie Conte is a name to remember but he'll be just a redshirt freshman next season. My guess is you'll see Mark Shuman get the nod at left tackle and Laurence Gibson at right tackle. But Conte could play a major role if he continues to develop properly.
The good thing about January 8th 2013 is that everybody goes back to 0-0 and optimism begins to build. The Hokies will have a chance to be good next year. How good will depend on the changes made this off-season, the ability of some of our younger players, and how we fare against Alabama in week one.
But, after this season, I'll be happy getting back to 0-0 for awhile.

Whew! For the first time in three months, I'm not feeling stressed about work. I'm caught up on blog posts, my articles for other sites are written, and I don't have any other pressing tasks. I love being able to take long vacations to other continents, but the preparation and clean-up for these trips is a bear!
And I can't rest too long. My next column for Entrepreneur magazine is due soon. Plus, I need to prep for a budget workshop I'm giving at a local library. And the World Domination Summit is just around the corner! That's going to take a lot of time, too. Plus — best of all — I've started the early work on my next site. (About which I'm very excited.)
Still, all the hard work was actually pretty productive. Though it took blood, sweat, and tears, Get Rich Slowly had some great articles last month. Here are a few of the best:
- March 1st: From the Rich to the Poor (or, What I Learned in Africa) (by J.D.)
- March 3rd: Developing Systems That Work (by J.D.)
- March 8th: The Power of Patience (by J.D.)
- March 14th: You Can Have It All (Just Not All At Once) (by Donna)
- March 17th: Outsmarting Myself (by J.D.)
- March 21st: Do Programmable Thermostats Really Save Money? (by J.D.)
- March 23rd: Living Below Your Means is Like Saving for Retirement Twice (by Robert)
- March 28th: Getting the Most from Your Charitable Deductions (by Sierra)
- March 30th: The Lottery: An "Investment" for Fools (by J.D.)
Yes, looking back, March was one of the best months at GRS in a long time. Two thumbs up from me!
The blog isn't the only part of this site. If you have burning questions about personal finance, one of the best places to get answers is the Get Rich Slowly discussion forum. The forum is a great place to chat with your fellow readers. Have questions about emergency funds? Ask! Want to chat about cheap vacations? This is the place to do it.

The run began with an RBS 6 Nations triumph at Croke Park that denied Ireland a Triple Crown earlier in the year. Then came those two victories over Pumas.
Next on the agenda are the All Blacks, a side Scotland haven't beaten in 27 attempts dating back 105 years. The best they have managed are two draws in Edinburgh in 1964 and 1983.
"We made history in the summer in Argentina and our next focus is to continue to improve. That starts with our opening game in the autumn - against New Zealand," said Robinson.
"What better opposition for us to open our new campaign than the All Blacks. They've been playing some exhilarating rugby this summer, especially in the Tri-Nations games against South Africa and Australia, and it's well-documented that Scotland have never beaten them.
"Our last three internationals have been away from home and the players delivered inspiring victories at Croke Park, Tucuman and Mar del Plata. Our next three internationals are at home and the more supporters at Murrayfield and Pittodrie the better to encourage them to new heights."
As well as facing the All Blacks at Murrayfield on Saturday, 13 November, Scotland also meet South Africa in the Scottish capital on Saturday 20 November before completing their three match series against Samoa at Aberdeen's Pittordrie stadium.

Apple self-produced parody '1944' arrives on YouTube
updated 10:20 pm EDT, Mon May 7, 2012
Features Steve Jobs as FDR in cameo
A video Apple created in 1984 as a motivational spoof for its annual Hawaii sales force conference that features a cameo of Steve Jobs playing President Franklin Delano Roosevelt has arrived on YouTube. The film, first made public by Network World a few days ago, was intended as a spoof "propaganda film" to inspire the Macintosh sales force to do battle against "Big Blue" (IBM), then seen as Apple's main rival.
Though styled as a sort of historic sequel to the "1984" ad that had run in January of that year, the film (which reportedly cost more than $50,000 to produce) was never intended to be seen by the public. Although it used professional actors in most roles, notable cameos include Mike Murray (then vice president of marketing) as "The General" as well as Jobs' brief turn as Roosevelt.
Jobs appears for around 30 seconds in the nine-minute film, telling assembled troops "your battle will be long ... it will be hard ... but it will be won. I am sure your victory will be great." He then hangs up the phone, turns and adds with a smile to the camera "insanely great."
Both Apple and Microsoft have, over the years, made films designed to entertain and inspire their salespeople that have "escaped" onto YouTube and other such channels. In 1997, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer made a memorable parody of a then-popular Volkswagen ad that featured the 80s song "Da Da Da" by Trio (seen below) that was intended to poke fun at Sun Microsystems for a similar sales conference. Gates and Ballmer later did parodies of Night at the Roxbury, Harry Potter and Austin Powers for various Windows conferences. Jobs once let actor Noah Wylie (who had played him in that year's Pirates of Silicon Valley TV-movie) take the stage to open the 1999 Macworld conference.
The 1944 film also contains several in-references, for example referring to the "LightWriter" (which would later be renamed LaserWriter), and a perceived lack of software problem that was being addressed with assurances from "General Gates" and "General Kapor" (the latter being Mitch Kapor of Lotus).
The film also contains a few in-jokes; when asked for a report from sales, the force were said to be "goldbricking in Hawaii," to which the General reacts badly, and earlier in the film a reference to World War II extends to "IIplus ... IIc ... IIe." When a soldier whispers "what about the III," a reference to the ill-fated Apple III, another soldier shoots back "we don't talk about the III."
The voice-over narrator who opens and closes the film is the same unnamed artist who did the voice for the "1984" ad. The "1944" parody was preserved by former Apple employee Craig Elliott, now of Pertino Networks.

'Zerocoin' Add-on For Bitcoin Could Make It Truly Anonymous And Untraceable.
Zerocoin, the work of a group of cryptographers at John Hopkins University who plan to present their system at next month's IEEE Security and Privacy conference in San Francisco, offers an extension to Bitcoin that would make the task of identifying Bitcoin users or tracing their transactions nearly impossible. If adopted by enough of the Bitcoin network, Zerocoin's inventors believe it could become a fundamental upgrade to Bitcoin's code, integrating itself into the currency and solving what many see as serious privacy flaws in Bitcoin's current implementation.

Jon Stewart's comedy leaves crowd in stitches
By : Erin Owens
Despite a few jokes at the expense of Binghamton, Jon Stewart had people laughing from beginning to end during his performance March 27 in the Events Center.
"He was really funny," senior Lauren Scott said. "I laughed the whole time."
About 5,000 people watched the 70-minute show.
Stewart, born Jon Stuart Leibowitz, has been host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central since 1998, and is a writer and co-producer of the show. He has won 11 Primetime Emmys for his work on The Daily Show, and has hosted both the Grammy Awards and the Academy Awards.
Stewart is best known for his political satire, and he joked that "80 percent of the country are reasonable people who could get along, but the other 20 percent run it."
"When Germany says, 'I don't want to do it,'" he said of the war in Iraq, "that's when you know you shouldn't be going to war."
Stewart, 46, also discussed the recent historic election of the first black president. Addressing the question of whether or not America is ready for a black president, he said, "It depends on the black guy. Gary Coleman, no. But Barack Obama, yes."
He also touched on issues such as gay marriage and religion, but much of his stand-up performance was not about politics.
"He was a lot less political than I thought he would be," Scott said. "He seems really smart and open-minded."
Stewart congratulated the men's basketball team on making it to the NCAA Tournament. But he also joked about the set throughout his performance, asking "Who are you holding the good sheet for?" An audience member responded "(Stephen) Colbert!" referring to the popular host of The Colbert Report, which follows The Daily Show on Comedy Central.
Stewart shared stories about his two children, describing raising them as "a chance to ruin someone from scratch."
He also discussed people's fascination with computers, calling the Internet "the scam of the century." Recalling Y2K, he asked, "What were we afraid of: That the computers will fail and the world will be forced to live like we did in 1983?"
Overall, Stewart seemed to enjoy himself, saying it was a "cool crowd" and a "nice time." And the audience certainly seemed to enjoy Stewart, giving him a standing ovation at the end of his performance.
"I was really excited to get the chance to finally see him," freshman Ryan Meitzler said. "I loved it."

I'm beginning to work on my presentation for the upcoming Linked Ancient World Data Institute at ISAW. Here's what I'd like to accomplish in three bullets.
How to turn expertly curated non-linked data (digital scholarly editions of texts, etc) into RDF is one linked data problem, the one we're most familiar with and most focused on. How to use semantic web architecture and links to initiate and curate "born-linked" data is another interesting and important set of problems – to me, at least, and I hope to be able to make it compelling to everyone else.
Pleiades remains the only classics project in the Linked Open Data cloud today (http://thedatahub.org/group/lodcloud?q=classics) and I'd also like to talk about how other projects can join it, but time may be too short for this.

Russia Sends Warships to Mediterranean; Denies Syria Link

Missile cruiser & anti-submarine ship head to troubled region
Paul Joseph Watson
August 29, 2013
The Russian Navy has denied that the dispatch of two warships to the eastern Mediterranean is linked to western military action against Syria, despite Interfax quoting a source in the armed forces' general staff who said the deployment was in response to the "well-known situation".
As part of plans to have five or six vessels stationed in the region, initial reports stated that Russia had sent an anti-submarine ship and a missile cruiser to waters near Syria because the crisis "required us to make some adjustments" in the naval force, according to Interfax.
However, within hours a Russian Naval spokesperson told RIA Novosti that the maneuvers were part of planned rotation and not linked to the worsening situation in Syria.
"The vessels in the Mediterranean, like those in other parts of the world, act under plans by the Russian Naval Command and General Staff, and fulfil tasks set," the Naval spokesperson said.
"On completion of these tasks, the vessels then either return to their bases, or are replaced by other vessels to complete the tasks set," the spokesperson said, adding "This does not amount to a renewal of any grouping or groupings, it is a planned rotation."
According to Ariel Cohen, a senior research fellow at the US think tank the Heritage Foundation, a western attack on Syria would prompt Russia to "deploy a permanent naval squadron in the Mediterranean and accelerate the search for naval bases and anchorages, such as Tartus and Latakiyeh in Syria."
Russia has consistently supported the Syrian government and repeatedly vetoed efforts by Britain and the US to secure the green light for military intervention via the UN Security Council. Efforts by Downing Street to propose a new draft resolution that would have greased the skids for cruise missile attacks were rebuffed by Russia and China yesterday.
Both Russia and China have warned that a military attack on Syria would have "catastrophic consequences" for the region.

You have reached the profile page of pornstar April O Neil. On this page you will find her basic information, biography, picture and video galleries posted on Lesbian Babelog, and links to external websites with more April O Neil information and pictures.
April O Neil biography
April O Neil is, besides a character in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, also a stunningly hot US pornstar. She comes from Arizona and was born on 7 April 1987. Her roots are Latin, as you can tell from looking at this perfectly shaped babe, with her nice tan and 32C/23/32 measurements. April O'Neil is known by several other names, which is common with nude models, as they get a different name from every site they appear on. Her aliases are April O'Neal and Judith Hoag.
This naturally busty model started her adult career by producing softcore and solo masturbation scenes for the most popular nude art websites, but later (in 2009) decided to move into hardcore and become a full time pornstar. April has appeared in over 30 titles so far, and mostly does girl-girl shoots. O Neil has tattoos on her right hip and left shoulderblade.

Blender Foundation, the developer of Blender, an integrated 3D creation software suite, has announced that their software has reached version 2.65.
Blender 2.65 is a massive update and it was deemed by the developers as the most stable release in the 2.6 branch, with over 200 bug fixes.
[admark=1]Highlights of Blender 2.65:
• Fire simulation was added to the Smoke Simulator. This means that the performance and usability of these particular functions have been drastically improved. Smoke can now be emitted from mesh surfaces, without the need for a particle system;
• A smoke flow force field was added to improve the interaction with other simulations. Colored smoke simulation and mixing is now possible and the interaction of smoke with collision objects has been improved;
• Support for writing custom shaders in the Open Shading Language has been implemented. Motion blur rendering was also added to Blender 2.65 in order to make moving objects and cameras appear blurry;
• An anisotropic shading node has been added and the BSDF nodes can now have different normals;
Other important new features include a new bevel tool which has a rounding feature, preserving the requested bevel width more evenly and generating better topology. Also, a new symmetrize tool is now available to the users to make mesh topology and data symmetric.
The addons have some new entries. The Film Response addon from the Mango project is now part of Blender. This will allow transformations such as UV texture to vertex color baking.
Other added functionalities in Blender 2.65 include camera tracking options, better character animation, weight painting, a Map Taper option, a "Flip" tool which flips the lattice coordinates, an Antialiased Viewport, and improvements for the Game Engine and Rendering.
A complete list of new tools, changes and features can be found in the official announcement.

The Lion King Tickets
The Lion King is over a decade into its Broadway run, this Disney musical is still the destination of choice for most city visitors. The Lion King is a lively stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning 1994 Disney film, The Lion King. The story is about a young lion prince living in the flourishing African Pride Lands, who plans on becoming king when he grows up. He was born into a royal family and spends his days exploring the sprawling savanna grasslands and idolizing his kingly father, Mufasa. You can enjoy the Broadway musical of a coming-of-age tale about a young lion cubs' journey to become king.
Elton John and Tim Rice's hit songs include; "Circle of Life, "Hakuna Matata," "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning score and Lebo M's outstanding choral arrangements for the hit film have been supplemented for the Broadway show.

Woody Hayes
Woody Hayes
Head Coach 1951-1978
Between 1951 and 1978, while Woody Hayes stalked the Ohio Stadium sidelines, the Buckeyes won five national titles (and narrowly missed out on four others), captured 13 Big Ten crowns and won 205 games, including 152 conference games. Twice the Buckeyes won a conference record 17-consecutive league games.
Under Hayes, the Buckeyes played in 11 bowl games, including eight Rose Bowls. Ohio State is the only Big Ten school to play in four-consecutive Rose Bowls, traveling to Pasadena following the 1972-73-74 and '75 seasons.
Under Hayes' guidance, 56 different Ohio State players garnered first-team All-America honors. Additionally, he coached three Heisman Trophy winners, three Outland Trophy recipients and two Lombardi Award honorees.
Four of Hayes' teams notched unbeaten records and five others suffered just one loss. Between 1968 and 1970, the Buckeyes were 27-2 and won three Big Ten titles. From 1972 to 1977, OSU reeled off six-consecutive league championships and fashioned a combined record of 49-8.
The list of former Hayes assistants includes Bill Mallory, Glen Mason, Gary Moeller, Lou Holtz, Bo Schembechler, Earle Bruce and Joe Bugel, just to name a few.
Hayes recorded a lifetime record of 238-72-10. During his stay with the Buckeyes, Hayes twice won National Coach of the Year honors. And during the Hayes era, the Buckeyes led the nation in attendance 21 times and finished second in each of the other seven years.
Hayes, who grew up in Newcomerstown, Ohio, graduated from Denison in 1935. He spent his entire coaching career within the state of Ohio, coaching at Denison for three years and at Miami (Ohio) for two.
Hayes was a noted historian with a passion for military history. He held the rank of associate professor at Ohio State and took great pride in being able to teach during the offseason. He was as proud of his players' high graduation rate as he was of their success on the football field.
Wayne Woodrow "Woody" Hayes was born Feb. 14, 1913, in Clifton, Ohio. He died March 12, 1987, but his influence lives through the many thousands of people he touched during his 28 years at Ohio State. Woody Hayes holds a special place in college football history.

Why Read This ReportForrester recently surveyed 1,017 decision-makers at North American and European enterprises on the adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and related technologies including information-as-a-service (IaaS). Compared to other SOA technologies like the enterprise service bus (ESB), IaaS shows stronger adoption, though not as great as business process management (BPM). Of those who see SOA as a priority or critical priority, 41% already use IaaS, and another 14% plan to pilot or adopt the technology within 12 months. Additionally, 39% of the 76 enterprise architects who responded to Forrester's October 2007 Global Enterprise Architecture Role Online Survey said they are working on a canonical information model as part of their SOA, ESB, or IaaS strategy. This result accords with Forrester's experience, which is that canonical modeling is becoming a critical element in implementing IaaS. Information architects should prepare accordingly.

text: Influenza: What is it? Flu refers to illnesses caused by a number of different influenza viruses. Flu can cause a range of symptoms and effects, from mild to lethal. Most healthy people recover from the flu without problems, but certain people are at high risk for serious complications. Currently, in the U.S., epidemiologists at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) work with states to collect, compile and analyze reports of flu outbreaks. More on the current situation. Annual outbreaks of the seasonal flu usually occur during the late fall through early spring. Most people have natural immunity, and a seasonal flu vaccine is available. In a typical year, approximately 5 to 20 percent of the population gets the seasonal flu. Flu-related deaths range from 3,300 to 48,600 (average 23,600). A flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza A virus emerges for which there is little or no immunity in the human population; the virus causes serious illness and spreads easily from person-to-person worldwide. The H5N1 (Bird) flu virus is an influenza A virus subtype that is highly contagious among birds. Rare human infections with the H5N1 (Bird) flu virus have occurred. The majority of confirmed cases have occurred in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, Europe and the Near East. Currently, the United States has no confirmed human H5N1 (Bird) flu infections, but H5N1 (Bird) flu remains a serious concern with the potential to cause a deadly pandemic. The H1N1 (Swine) flu virus caused more illness in the 2009-2010 flu season in young people and pregnant women than is usual for prior flu seasons. Like seasonal flu, illness in people with H1N1 can vary from mild to severe. Symptoms Flu symptoms may include fever, coughing, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headaches, body aches, chills and fatigue. Source: Flu.gov; http://www.flu.gov Also See ...

The problem I have personaly is that some of the folks involved in pushing this legislation, like fienstein(sp?) has in the past expressed the will for a total ban. Then you look at other countries who banned guns, and it started similar to what we are seeing right now. Its better to stand up right now, and let them know we are not having it.

We've often wondered how the couture business stays afloat. Does anyone really buy that stuff? The answer is a resounding and absolute yes, and one corner of the planet is buying up every stitch of the best French fashion houses have to offer.
According to Reuters, no one (and we mean no one) buys couture gowns like Middle Eastern women. That's right — wealthy women in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates are far more likely to buy Dior haute couture or Armani Prive than, say, women in the United States or France. That might seem strange considering many women in the region have to observe strict rules about clothing. But that's only in public. For private events and weddings, women of means tend to go hog wild — and in some circles, the social calendar "usually consists of 15-20 weddings a year and private parties every month."
RELATED: PHOTOS: Karlie Kloss And Her Bare Butt Closed Dior's Spring Show
So how do you avoid showing up to a soiree not wearing the same thing as anyone else? You drop major coin on some seriously exclusive dresses. And designer simply won't do, according to one woman:
"What I want is unique pieces, extravagant and chic. I do not want to pay 5,000 or 6,000 euros for a dress, as it happened to me with a Pucci outfit recently, and see it on somebody else the same evening."
RELATED: First Muslim Women Fined For Wearing Headscarves In France
To that end, couture sellers have to have an intimate knowledge not only of their customer, but also of who their customers know. When you're spending up to $75,000 on a dress, you expect not to run into someone else wearing it.
"I had the opportunity to see a wedding that was recently held here in Dubai. 4,000 women were invited to the reception and everybody in the room was wearing haute couture," said Simon Lock, who works as creative director for Dubai Fashion Week. "And there are lots and lots of weddings to attend. The wedding season is very expensive here.
Analysts say that the rise in the Middle East's couture spending only started a few years ago, and that the region is likely to keep on buying more couture than in Europe and North America, where the economic downturn has women recycling outfits like wildfire.

'Late Night': Betty White Gets Cheeky With Jimmy Fallon
by Joel Keller | November 29, 2011 at 11:16 AM | Late Night With Jimmy Fallon
With a new book out and "Hot in Cleveland" returning this week, it's time for Betty White to make the talk show rounds, and we always love to see her.
This morning on "Live! With Kelly," for instance, she said to guest host Neil Patrick Harris that she was excited to hear that she was considered for a guest shot on "How I Met Your Mother," but didn't hear anything after that. NPH then proceeded to sneak a full-lip kiss with her when she went to kiss him on the cheek. Come on, wouldn't it be adorable to see Betty as Barney Stinson's most memorable conquest? Get it in gear, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas!
And last night on "Late Night," Jimmy Fallon had Betty play a round of "Password," the game show she's most closely associated with (she was a frequent panelist and met her late husband, Allen Ludden, on the show). The funniest moment was when Fallon mentioned a mashed potato recipe that contained five pounds of butter. "That sounds good. Wanna see it?" said Betty as she got up and turned around. The look on Fallon's face as White rose to show him her butt was priceless.

Just A Few Thoughts: Frank Ocean, Sexual Labels, and the Power of Description
by R.L. Stephens II on July 5, 2012
Frank Ocean is a dynamic songwriter with a masterful command of imagery, metaphor, and emotion. Beginning his career ghostwriting for other artists, Ocean's popularity exploded with the self-release of his album Nostalgia/Ultra in early 2011. Frank Ocean is the eldest member of the Odd Future collective, and has collaborated with Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyonce and others. His newest album, Channel Orange, will be released July 17.
However, Frank Ocean's celebrity has exploded in recent days with his recent announcement that his first love was a man. It should be noted that Frank Ocean acknowledged Lil B before making his announcement saying "BasedGod was right". Thank You Based God (literally this time).
Frank Ocean is the most important artist of my lifetime.
In "Swim Good" he writes about suicide in an honest, yet subtle language that makes the subject eminently accessible.
And I've got this black suit on. Roaming around like I'm ready for a funeral. Five more miles 'til the road runs out. I'm about to drive in the ocean. I'mma try to swim from something biggern than me. Kick off my shoes and swim good, and swim good. Take off this suit and swim good, and swim good, good. I'm going off, don't try stopping me. I'm going off, don't try saving me. No flares, no vest, and no fear. Waves are washing me out
"There Will Be Tears" is a hauntingly brilliant song about fatherlessness and abandonment.
My grandaddy was a player, pretty boy in a pair of gators. See I met him later on, think it was 1991. The only dad I'd ever known, but pretty soon he'd be gone too. Hide my face, hide my face, can't let 'em see me crying. Cause these boys didn't have no fathers neither and they weren't crying. My friend said it wasn't so bad, you can't miss what you ain't had. Well I can. I'm said and there will be tears, I've no doubt.
It's obvious that Frank Ocean is a brilliant songwriter, and I've found much of his writing to be personally relevant and even cathartic. I chose the above two songs because his words resonated with my experience struggling to cope with my father's death. It was good to have such a talented artist offer me words that that I could not find for myself. He spoke openly about depression and suicide in a way that moved me and helped me to emotionally process thoughts that I myself have had.
So, when I found out he was writing lyrics that reflected his bisexuality, I was happy. I'm glad that Frank is singing/writing/speaking a language that mirrors the experiences of many young queer people of color, including some of my friends. To have such a talented and courageous artist speak to your experiences can be life-changing, especially in a culture where so many young queer people of color are marginalized and abused (Free CeCe). I'm so glad he is not just coming out, but that he is putting words to his experiences and laying down the joy, the love, the confusion, and pain that he felt as he took his first steps towards expressing his sexuality.
I hope the discourse evolves beyond Frank Ocean supporters saying "I love his music *despite* his sexuality". His personal experiences, including sexual ones, are completely relevant to his expression as both an artist and human being. I have walked with a handful of friends as they struggled through their first steps expressing queer sexuality. I don't love them *despite* their orientation, I love them as people and I highly value their experiences, experiences that both reflect and exist beyond their sexuality. However, sexuality isn't just about the act of sex, it's the feelings, identity, and communication that surround the behavior. He did not speak in terms of labels, but he used his Baldwin-esque literary skill to describe the joy and pain of an unrequited romantic relationship with a man, which makes his letter so poignant. His letter requires people to think beyond genitalia when thinking about queer sexuality. Often we use labels so that we don't have to connect to the person's experience, we can just dismiss their existence by "othering" them. Frank Ocean's sexuality isn't presented with a label ready for us to consume (as was the case with Anderson Cooper). He's letting his experience stand alone; this isn't an "it gets better" message. He is just sharing his feelings in a candid and accessible way. Sometimes it helps if a person just gives words to the struggle and doesn't try to point to the outcomes. Frank's letter about his first love simply embraces the struggle.
Truth be told, he already "came-out" last march in the song "Oldie" by Odd Future.
"I'm high and I'm bi, wait, I mean I'm straight"
I believe that Frank's music will not only give language and voice to his experiences as a queer person of color, but he will also use his staggering talent to confront heteronormative narratives and social structure.
I recall a friend of mine who loves to sing. He would frequently silence and mesmerize auditorium's of people with his talent. Despite identifying as a gay man, almost all the songs he sang fit within the boy/girl narrative. I remember talking to him on late nights as he processed the shame he felt from his community for being a queer Black man. It is my hope that a songwriting talent like Frank Ocean will give my friend new songs to sing, and a new language to describe his experiences (much like Ocean's music did for me).
May Frank Ocean's labor save lives, and strike another blow to the heteronormative patriarchy.
Excerpt of Frank Ocean's letter:
4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that summer, and the summer after, together. Everyday almost. And on the days we were together, time would glide. Most of the day I'd see him, and his smile. I'd hear his conversation and his silence … until it was time to sleep. Sleep I would often share with him. By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping, no negotiating with the feeling. No choice. It was my first love, it changed my life. Back then, my mind would wander to the women I had been with, the ones I cared for and thought I was in love with. I reminisced about the sentimental songs I enjoyed as a teenager.. The ones I played when I experienced a girlfriend for the first time. I realized they were written in a language I did not speak yet. I realized too much, too quickly. Imagine being thrown from a plane. I wasn't in a plane though. I was in a Nissan Maxima, the same one I packed up with bags and drove to Los Angeles in.
I sat there and told my friend how I felt. I wept as the words left my mouth. I grieved for them, knowing I could never take them back for myself. He patted my back. He said kind things. He did his best, but he wouldn't admit the same. He had to go back inside soon. It was late and his girlfriend was waiting for him upstairs. He wouldn't tell me the truth about his feelings for me for another 3 years. I felt like I'd only imagined reciprocity for years. Now imagine being thrown from a cliff. No, I wasn't on a cliff, I was still in my car telling myself it was gonna be fine and to take deep breaths. I took the breaths and carried on. I kept up a peculiar friendship with him because I couldn't imagine keeping up my life without him. I struggled to master myself and my emotions. I wasn't always successful.

born 1925)
Manufactured by L'Orfèvrerie Christofle,
Paris, France
Como Tea Service, designed 1957, silverplated
brass, raffia.
Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Goldberg and Jeffrey Shankman

The work of self-taught Italian designer Lino Sabattini
embodies new approaches to design that developed in
post-World War II Italy. In a country that was recovering
from the devastating effects of war and a brutal Fascist
regime, designers and architects set about developing
an aesthetic that would define a new era in the country.
In 1956 Sabattini became director of design at the prestigious
Christofle Orfèvrerie, where he created metalware
notable for abstract organic forms between 1956 and
1963. His Como designs are an example of the
new aesthetic that was developing at the time. Rejecting
the hard lines and straight edges that defined design
in the Fascist era Sabattini's designs were decidedly
more fluid and sculptural. Elongated arcs lend a sensuality
to the simplified forms and complex organic curves of
this tea service. Sabattini's mixing of art and
function was a common theme in Italy in the 1950s and
helped establish the country's reputation as a
powerful force in the European avant-garde during the
1950s and 60s.
