Cindy Crawford may be a supermodel, but even she had a tough time when she first started in the industry. In the latest installment of Oprah's Master Class, Crawford opens up about a horrific haircut that taught her to be her own advocate.
In the video below, Crawford recounts a job in Rome for Italian Vogue after she graduated from high school. Even though she'd refused to cut her hair for the gig, the hairstylist went ahead and cut it "short, like a boy," and also dyed it orange. But instead of speaking up, she cried.
Watch it below, and learn a few life lessons from Crawford herself:

After confirming that it's going to launch the Xbox One in November with a $499/€499 price tag, Microsoft has revealed that those who pre-order the next-gen console will get the Xbox One Day One Edition, which comes with exclusive benefits.
The Xbox One is pretty controversial but Microsoft unveiled lots of details earlier today at its E3 2013 press conference.
Now, the company has revealed the Xbox One Day One Edition that will be available to all those who pre-order the console.
It includes, besides the Xbox One, a limited edition controller, a token code to unlock a special Day One achievement, as well as different exclusive DLC packs for Xbox one games.
According to Eurogamer, this DLC can range from multiplayer map and sword in Ryse: Son of Rome, to four bonus cars in Forza Motorsport 5, or tribute packs dedicated to Frank West and Chuck Greene in Dead Rising 3.
These aforementioned games, however, are sold separately.

Falcao gold project transaction and private placement into Guyana Frontier Mining Corp. TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2012 /CNW/ - Horizonte Minerals Plc, (AIM: HZM, TSX: HZM) ('Horizonte' or 'the Company') the exploration and development company focused in Brazil, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a share purchase agreement ('the Purchase Agreement') with Guyana Frontier Mining Corp. ('Guyana Frontier') (TSX-V:GYG) for the sale (the 'Sale') of HM Brazil (IOM) LTD which holds Horizonte's interest in the Falcao gold project ('Falcao') in northern Brazil to Guyana Frontier, currently under option to AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. ('AngloGold'). Overview -- This transaction is in line with Horizonte's corporate strategy of divesting and monetising its gold assets to focus on the development of the advanced Araguaia nickel project in northern Brazil -- On completion of the transaction, Horizonte will be a significant shareholder of Guyana Frontier providing exposure to Falcao and Guyana Frontier's gold project portfolio -- Under the terms of the transaction, two Horizonte representatives will join Guyana Frontier's board of directors Horizonte's CEO Jeremy Martin said, "This is an important step for the Company and forms part of our development plan to monetise our gold projects and allow us to focus on developing our 100% owned Araguaia nickel project in Brazil. There is currently an 8,000 metre infill drill programme underway to upgrade the resource at Araguaia as we work towards the award of the Pre-Feasibility contract in H1 2013. "Upon completion of the transaction, Horizonte will become a significant shareholder in Guyana Frontier, maintaining exposure to Falcao and providing an entry point into a new country that is highly prospective for gold. The geology and gold mineralisation of the Guiana Shield is similar to that of northern Brazil and represents an excellent corporate and exploration fit. The combined team has experience and knowledge of the region that will be utilised to fast-track exploration on the advanced Marudi Mountain Gold Project with continued development of Falcao with its joint venture partner AngloGold. With this in mind, I look forward to updating shareholders on the developments of this transaction and working with Guyana Frontier going forward as it focuses on building a new South American gold company." Further Information Falcao, which is located in the southern Carajás mining region, northern Brazil, is a joint venture project between Horizonte and AngloGold whereby AngloGold can earn a 51% interest in Falcao by expending US$4.5 million over three years with the right to earn a further 19% interest by completing a pre-feasibility study. To date, a total of 3,663 metres of drilling has been completed in 15 diamond drill holes in the first phase of drilling. Initial drill results were reported on 16 November 2011 (drill holes 1 to 7) with encouraging gold mineralisation reported in drill holes 1, 2 and 3, specifically. DDH-001 returned 11.1m grading 1.21 g/t Au from 59m, DDH-002 returned 48.9m grading 0.93g/t Au from 172m including 15.76 m grading 1.65g/t Au, and DDH-003 returned a high grade interval of 1.67m grading 27.70 g/t Au. Please refer to the press release of Horizonte on RNS and SEDAR dated 16 November 2011 and entitled "Horizonte Minerals Reports Positive Initial Drill Results at Falcao Gold Project, Brazil" for complete drill results. Potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource at Falcao and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. As consideration for the Sale, Guyana Frontier will issue to Horizonte at closing an aggregate of 84,000,000 common shares in the capital of Guyana Frontier (the 'Shares') at a deemed price of CDN$0.05 per Share. Upon the completion of the Sale, Horizonte will have the right to nominate two people to join the five person board of directors of Guyana Frontier. Additionally in connection with the Sale, Guyana Frontier will effect a name change and consolidation of its Shares upon terms to be agreed upon between Horizonte and Guyana Frontier. Horizonte has also purchased an aggregate of 8,000,000 units of Guyana Frontier ('Units') at a price of CDN$0.05 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of CDN$400,000 by way of private placement (the 'Private Placement'). Each Unit consists of one Share (each, a 'Private Placement Share') and one common share purchase warrant (each, a 'Warrant') entitling the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. The Private Placement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the 'TSXV'). Pursuant to the above noted private transactions, as of November 6, 2012, Horizonte has indirectly (i) acquired ownership and control of an aggregate of 8,000,000 Private Placement Shares and 8,000,000 Warrants; and (ii) been indirectly granted the right to acquire ownership and control of an additional 84,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the 'Acquisition Shares'). As a result of this transaction, Horizonte indirectly owns and controls an aggregate of 8,000,000 Private Placement Shares and 8,000,000 Warrants and the right to acquire an additional 84,000,000 Acquisition Shares, representing approximately (i) 7.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at November 6, 2012; (ii) 49.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at November 6, 2012 calculated on a partially-diluted basis, assuming the exercise of the Warrants and issuance of the Acquisition Shares only; and (iii) 43.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at November 6, 2012 calculated on a fully diluted basis. These transactions are being effected by Horizonte for investment purposes, and Horizonte could increase or decrease its investments in Guyana Frontier at any time, or continue to maintain its investment position, depending on market conditions or any other relevant factor. Completion of the Sale is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the TSXV and the requisite majority approval of shareholders of Guyana Frontier. The Sale cannot close until the approval of shareholders of Guyana Frontier and all required regulatory approvals are obtained. There can be no assurance that the Sale will be completed as proposed or at all. Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in any management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Sale, any information released or received with respect to the proposed Sale may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. About Guyana Frontier Guyana Frontier is a TSXV-listed public mineral exploration company focused on the exploration, discovery and development of precious metals deposits in Guyana and Brazil in South America. Guyana Frontier began acquiring interests in Guyanese exploration properties in 2007, and now holds various rights to obtain working interests in approximately 246,460 acres (99,740 hectares) of prospective lands in Guyana. Guyana Frontier's flagship property is the Marudi Mountain Gold Project ('Marudi Mountain') which covers an area of 54.67 square kilometers (13,502 acres) in the historic Marudi Mining District of southwestern Guyana. On 6 June 2012Guyana Frontier announced a review of a historical resource estimate for the Mazoa Hill deposit at Marudi Mountain. The historical resource estimate was first published in 1995, prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 ('N.I. 43-101'). Guyana Frontier engaged Reserva International LLC, of Reno, Nevada for the review. In June 1995, Kilborn Engineering Pacific Ltd. ('Kilborn'), of Vancouver, B.C., Canada, prepared an evaluation report entitled "Marudi Mountain Project, Project 8707-15, Evaluation Report" (the 'Evaluation Report') for Sutton Resources Ltd. The Evaluation Report included a resource estimate for the Mazoa Hill target area, where approximately 13,530 metres was drilled in 70 historical holes, based on drill core data, geological descriptions, surface trenching channel samples, and adit channel samples provided to Kilborn by Sutton. Metallurgical test data used for the Evaluation Report were taken from 1982 and 1991-1993 work programmes. Historical geological resources were classified by Kilborn as "Measured & Indicated", and "Inferred" categories based on the "Principles of Resources/Reserve Classification for Minerals" contained in Circular 831 published by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and the U.S. Geological Survey, which was the standard for mineral resources classifications of that era. Measured & Indicated resources defined by Kilborn at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t were 4,594,143 tonnes grading 2.36 g/t gold for 348,589 ounces of gold, and Inferred resources defined at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t were 1,182,940 tonnes grading 1.99 g/t gold for 75,686 ounces of gold. The resource estimate contained in the Evaluation Report is historical in nature, and is not based on an existing technical report prepared under the guidelines of N.I. 43-101. Guyana Frontier considers the historical resource estimate to be relevant to continuing exploration and believes that it provides a conceptual indication of the potential of the gold occurrence but does not consider it to be reliable at this time. No more recent mineral resource estimate regarding the Mazoa Hill deposit is available to Guyana Frontier. A qualified person, as defined by the guidelines of N.I. 43-101, has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Guyana Frontier is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. For more information please see www.guyanafrontier.com About Horizonte Minerals: Horizonte Minerals plc is an AIM and TSX listed exploration and development Company with a portfolio of nickel and gold projects in the Carajas District of Brazil. The Company is focussed on creating value by generating and rapidly advancing exploration projects in tandem with joint ventures with major mining companies, providing mid-term cash flow, which is then used to develop the business and pipeline projects. Horizonte has two committed major mining partners: Teck Resources Limited, a major strategic shareholder in the Company, and AngloGold, a JV partner on the Falcao gold project. Horizonte owns 100 per cent of the advanced Araguaia nickel project located to the south of the Carajas mineral district of northern Brazil. The project has defined a resource with size and grades comparable to other world-class projects in northern Brazil and the Company has completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the project which illustrates robust economics based on low strip ratio, good infrastructure, large mineral resource with two viable alternatives for processing.

What You Should Know About Canada and VPNby Valer in News | 1 Comment
What should you know about Canada and VPN services? In Canada, you are not guaranteed access to any website you want, though this country does offer more freedom than some other countries. Ever since the late 1990s the Canadian government has been discussing ways to control, and if necessary, censor websites that have questionable content. Sites that have online pornography and hate speech were singled out, though sites that had "Canadian content" were also mentioned as worthy of concern. Nevertheless, a few years later the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) determined that it would not regulate new media services on the Internet.
Nevertheless, more on the issue has been reported in the 2000 era. In 2006, several of Canada's top ISPs got together and announced a Project Cleanfeed Canada, which was a joint effort to block Canadian access to alleged child pornography sites. Technically, this was not a Canadian governmental action, but it was a business decision that merited the government's approval, according to reports. While government doesn't ban legal adult material, some service providers might, as Canadian laws are often organized by province and not the federal government. Canada VPN service allows for free surfing of the Internet, and this may comfort some, who may be unaware that ISPs record logs of surfing activity without VPN protection.
In 2011, another precedent was set with the issue of defamation, as the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that objectively linking to potentially defamatory material was classified as defamatory. While all of this does seem promising, there are new threats on the horizon. Certain Canadian government conservatives want to give police officers greater powers over eavesdropping on Canadian residents in cyberspace. This conservative side of the government also wants ISPs to cooperate on such snooping if requested.
Whether this new law goes into effect anytime soon remains to be seen. Nevertheless, though Canada does offer a measure of Internet freedom, remember that local laws always apply. A recent case of controversy was that of Ernst Zündel, who was investigated by the Canadian Human Rights Commission for questionable website content.
True, Canada VPN service won't be as liberating as say, surfing the Internet while living in China. However, free surfing is not the only advantage to using a Canadian VPN. You can also benefit from such services if you live in or travel to Canada frequently, since you can access servers that are nearer to you for better surfing of Chinese, American and British sites. For more information talk to a VPN provider on this matter.

I built my first chess box in 2003. That was interesting, because it lead me on a multi-year series of equipment upgrades for the ostensible purpose of doing a better chess box, and turning my own set of pieces.
Turning my own pieces never quite worked out. Making a bunch of identical or even just almost identical bits with really teensy details proved to be more of a challenge than I could overcome. That, and the House of Staunton just has some incredibly nice stuff. It's hard to reinvent the wheel.
Chess box #2 isn't depicted anywhere. It was a gift for Dad, and it was actually my third and fourth board in the same project. The first one was a total disaster. It was so bad I covered it in goopy semi-hardened old polyurethane to make it look even more despicable, and put it in the box on top of the real box to trick Dad into thinking it was the best I could do. It looked like a chess board drawn by M.C. Escher. Too bad I don't have a picture of that hideous monstrosity, or of Dad's chess box.
Anyway, this is box #3, five years later. This project comes on the other side of a lot of sweeping life changes. I lost my job twice. Mom died. Dad went broke and married a lesbian crack whore in a spectacular display of going from role model to object of pity. I finally gave up on leading Rosegarden anywhere but oblivion. I stepped back 12 years on the career front, and rebooted my life with an exciting and rewarding McJob at a company I dare not name for fear of getting fired, due to their new policies for online conduct. (Hint, it's the world's largest employer.) (DISCLAIMER: I do not represent or otherwise speak for the nameles company in question, and if you think I do, you're probably stupid.)
Anyhoo, here goes Chess Box #3, inspired by the $200 "tiroir" chess box from House of Staunton that probably would have been a bargain in the long run.
The board is made of walnut and soft maple. The frame is cherry (Prunus serotina) and mahogany (Damfino whatspeciesisthisensis) with cherry and red oak sides, cherry drawer fronts, and red oak legs. The whole thing vaguely resembles an Arts & Crafts or Mission style table.
I didn't do my usual step-by-step construction shots on this, because I was so long out of practice in the shop that construction proved to be a matter of plucking the whole project from the jaws of humiliating defeat one fanstastic mistake at a time. This was my first true success of the entire project. The joints on this piece tray are dead perfect. They're not too tight, but they're tight enough to hold at a friction fit with no glue, upside down. It was about time something went well and truly right with that project!
Here, the boxwood and rosewood armies are lined up for battle. I hated to use commercial chessmen on this board, but it's hard to argue with the quality of these pieces for the money. This is probably their cheapest "decent" set in wood, but it's at least an order of magnitude finer than anything I've ever had before, and probably several orders of magnitude better than anything I could have turned myself with available skill using available species of wood.
Here's a corner shot of the unpopulated board, with the piece trays slotted home.
Here's the black army, in rosewood, ready for battle. I love rosewood. These pieces are incredibly awesome. I'm going to put my fingers in my ears and say "la la la" and try not to contemplate the raped rainforest where these came from.
Here's the white army, in boxwood. This reveals that I got the board shiny enough for a reflection, but not so shiny that the reflections are distracting.
I find boxwood as a working wood somewhat fascinating, since I have a 30-year-old boxwood on my property that couldn't possibly yield wood big enough to make anything of this sort. Then again, yew is a famous wood for longbows, and I've never seen a yew remotely big enough to make anything out of either. I guess Merry Old England is the Texas of obscure shrub woods, because they must grow a lot bigger over yonder.
The trays turned out to be a mixed bag. The pieces shipped in this cool pre-cut foam stuff that I thought would make an excellent alternative to my usual style of tray. I flocked it in red to make it look fancier. It actually looks vastly better in these pictures than it does in real life. The whole thing turned out to be a bit of a train wreck, really.
Here are some "good tool marks" that reveal the hand-made nature of this beast. I did the original jointing and dimensioning cuts with power machinery, but I did the majority of the work by hand. I did all the final thicknessing work with assorted hand planes, and the final surface was planed and scraped, rather than sanded. I coated it with umpty scadillion coats of wiped shellac, rubbed out to 2000 grit, and topped off with several applications of paste wax. It's smooth, but sort of irregular, like an old timey window pane.

Seeing Karlie Kloss stomp down the Prabal Gurung runway in a cutout black dress may well have been one of our favorite moments of last season's New York fashion week. But if rumors are to be believed, Ms. Kloss may not be making an appearance this week at all. Last night, CNN's Alina Cho tweeted:
HEARING: @karliekloss cancelled all catwalk appearances in NY for a big opportunity… #nyfw #backstagepass #cnn
Kloss is in town right now — she was lucky enough to attend Jay-Z's show at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday night — but that doesn't mean she's walking. Our best guess is that Kloss signed an exclusive for a show during one of the European shows — she did just tell Vogue UK that she'd love to walk for Burberry — but that would have to be a big contract. Either way, if it's true, we'll miss her. Though, there's always the after parties.
UPDATE: The Daily Beast's Isabel Wilkinson confirms (via Twitter, of course) that Kloss will not be walking in New York.
CONFIRMED: Karlie Kloss won't walk in New York Fashion Week this season because of an "engagement that has come up," says her spokesperson
She won't walk in #NYFW but it's "very likely" that Kloss will walk in Milan and Paris, spokesperson says.

WebOS Ports, Community Edition, and how this all works 25
At today's Enyo Hackathon in Sunnyvale I had the opportunity to sit down for a chat with Tom King, the man leading the charge for the WebOS Ports initiative. King's not an HP employee or even affiliated with HP, though through his involvement with WebOS Internals he has come to lead the recently-formed WebOS Ports group that's guiding the community's development with the open source webOS Community Edition.
King is very clearly passionate about his work as part of WebOS Ports and wants for the Community Edition to be a successful project for the community. They've adopted an organization similar to that of their parent WebOS Internals organization, encouraging and accepting development by anybody interested, though there's a small dedicated team of webOS homebrew veterans doing a lot of the work. King noted that while he was in Sunnyvale today, the majority of the code in Community Edition had been contributed by developers around the world.
The Community Edition release is in its entirety (at least as of now) LunaSysMgr from webOS 3.0.5, sanitized for open source. We've posted a few of the in-the-works features added by developers to Community Edition, including tweaks that allow gesture-based app switching and pinching card stack management. King said that most of the changes made so far as part of the Community Edition have been that sort of user-facing feature addition, though they've also fixed some bugs that had carried through with the open source release.
While HP will not be officially supporting the TouchPad with Open webOS, don't think that releasing an open source version of LunaSysMgr for webOS 3.0.5 is the extent of their support for the existing webOS userbase. King was adamant that HP has been exceedingly supportive of their work with Community Edition; whenever they're having an issue, assistance from the appropriate person at HP is just a phone call away. That kind of assistance is invaluable, as the developers at HP are obviously intimately familiar with LunaSysMgr in a way that the homebrew community just can't be - they did make it, after all - and they know the ins, outs, and quirks that are part of the code.
Right now WebOS Ports is driving towards the final public release of their updated Community Edition. They're incorporating a number of the tweaks already publicly demoed, along with bug fixes and the like. The build is going through the process of taking care of conflicts created by and between those tweaks, ensuring that something reasonably stable will be available to the community. Exactly how long it will take before that something is released by WebOS Ports is an unknown, though King expects it to be relatively soon. As WebOS Ports is a volunteer community-driven open source effort, progress is entirely dependent upon the time that the developers dedicate to the project. At the very least we're likely looking at a few weeks minimum before the first version is finished, tested, and released.
Once it is released, installation will be handled over Preware. The updated LunaSysMgr will utilize the same protocols as WebOS Internal's patching system, in that the original code will be retained on the device, it'll simply be moved to a safe storage point with the new code inserted in its place. That allows for safe removal of the homebrew code and complete restoration of the original, should the user not be satisfied. Should the user decide to keep Community Edition installed, which we imagine they certainly will, they'll be able to enable or disable all of the relevant tweaks made with WebOS Internals' Tweaks app, which recently received a 3.0 alpha release to support LunaSysMgr.
Right now WebOS Ports' focus is obviously on Community Edition. But they're keenly interested in what will come from Open webOS. King noted that he'd like for WebOS Ports' time to be dedicated to looking forward with Open webOS, not wasting time doing things like trying to port Open webOS to older devices like webOS smartphones. That's not to say that somebody couldn't do it on their own time (it is open source, after all), but the goal of WebOS Ports with Open webOS is to target the much larger market of newer and more powerful non-webOS devices. Like all of the development happening right now with WebOS Ports and Community Edition, and work done with Open webOS will be performed entirely in the public open source, both the inevitable failures and what they learn from them and the eventual successes.
Tom King's understanding of the core of how webOS works and how it all fits together is incredibly deep. And while he's a homebrew force in his own right, he considers his role within WebOS Ports to be more that of "cat herder" than coder. He seeks to bring order to the chaos that can afflict community-based open source development. And while there are plenty of talented people working on the Community Edition, King notes that the biggest problem they face is the same that every community like this faces: they're all doing this in their spare time, and there's never enough of that to go around.

Couldn't agree more! Moving forward is the best option and I'm glad they feel the same way.
I would seriously totally help work on this. But school. >_<
Awaiting eagerly for the audio and flash player bug fix......
Eagerly awaiting for a stable Android JB or a ray of hope that Win8RT will be compatible and somehow installable on TP. WebOS is a big letdown.
Good on you Derek. Thanks to you we have more news than the rest of the "Nation"
any clues how the new CE/lunasys will work with other patches we have currently, or will we be be better off removing all our other patches, adding CE, then adding back our other patches 1 by 1?
I was wondering the same thing. I suspect that we will want to remove all patches first. I'm kinda of hoping a lot of the "performance" patches are rolled into the CE so we don't need them. I'm also curios to whether or not the the new qtWebkit and Java engine will be coming to this edition to help speed things up.
+1 on hoping a lot of the performance patches are rolled into the CE.
Many of the patches change things in the Javascript inside webOS, or actual Linux kernel settings, or things like that. Few of the patches make changes to Luna or it's configurations, but of the ones that do, we can certainly work that in as additions to Tweaks.
Rather than spending time going through the entire patches category to see what's out there, what sorts of things are we thinking of?
Stuff like the Mojo patches, the Muffle System Logging, Quite powerd Messages, Unthrottle Download Manager, Remove Dropped Packet Logging, Faster card animations. I think that's pretty much most of them. Of course, if the faster Java/qtWebKit stuff gets in there, maybe we won't need all of the system patches.
There is definitely a need to add some customization abilities, such as the launcher pages (adding/renaming). But the performance stuff has to be top priority for the CE. The only thing, other than apps, that drives me nuts when using my TouchPad (or my Pre 2 for that matter), is the occasional stalls the webOS has. It will just sit there and look stupid at you when you tap, pinch, or swipe, then, all of a sudden, start responding again. That 1-3 second stall just seems to pop up at the worst moments, and almost kills the experience. The performance patches make it run smooth the rest of the time, though.
i'm not concerned about the new versions of webos not coming to older devices. The 3 Pre 2s and 2 Touchpads in the family are getting older and I am happy with the functionality of the version of webos on the devices. I don't see the update changing my webos experience that much. Plus it won't make my phone/tablet any "newer" and I am going to need a new phone at some point. If however, they can manage to get webos on new hardware, that would prolong my webos experience for years to come.
I can see myself going Apple/Android otherwise but each time I use one of those devices, it saddens me to think of what I am giving up (webos user interface).
I hope they are targeting NON-smartphone and NON-tablets as well. I would love to have webos on my GPS navigator (or in-car audio system), digital picture frame, printer, remote for home theater system, air condition/heater Control, etc. Think how much better an optimized webos system would make controlling those devices (and more).
Considering that building Open webOS for other devices will likely be a one-at-a-time affair, I imagine non-smartphone and non-tablet options are really far down on the list.
webos-ports guys are awesome, volunteering their time day and night to get CE on the TouchPads.
Makes sense they would want to put openWebOS on new devices to show off webOS and move forward.
I'm half expecting HP to deliver openWebOS on the PC and nothing more since I am not sure the 3.3 kernels have been put on mobile devices with all the open drivers included. Once these devices exist, I'm sure webs-ports will do an awesome job porting openWebOS over to them.
With the new devices, I would assume only a small percent of buyers for the new devices will then go and install open webos on those devices rather than using the primary operating system the devices run. So unless a third party immediately snaps the openWebOS, we are going to have public relations issue, where there just aren't many users of openWebOS to talk about it and keep up enthusiasm for a third party to see. At that point, someone will hopefully look at all the webOS devices still sitting in peoples' pockets or drawers and it will become more obvious that if we can get an openWebOS port on some of these devices, that we might ignite users interest to take their old devices out of the drawer and put the new openWebOS software on them. Which in turn might capture a third party's interest to develop hardware for openWebOS.
In the meantime, webos-ports group is amazing--happy to support them with donations and testing as needed.
While not the most glamorous of beginnings, any search for "cheap Android tablet" invariably gets a few hundred results ranging from $60 to $200 running every vanilla Android known to man. These generic device manufacturers will snap up OpenWebOS quickly. Also, the world is absolutely full of unsatisfied Android customers due to the lack of upgrades they receive on their active platform devices. To be completely honest, the only difference between my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and my HP Veer is that the Veer has the excuse of being a "dead" product for why it isn't being supported. I, and every other unfortunate android owner on the planet, has either had, at some point, to root their device and manually update it to the newer better version, or just suffer along with old news while the rest of the Android world had moved onto better things. Seriously. My phone is 8 months old, and only the number of apps it has makes it any better supported than my Sprint Pre. Would the rooting community embrace webOS? My guess is they would at least try it out if it was available. Personally, I'd love to see it on my Nexus, whose only proprietary bit is the cellular radio, which has binary driver libs available.
Interesting, thanks. I'm guessing Android users are there for the apps and don't mind the privacy issues, so if Open Mobile WW delivers the promised android app delivery system on webOS this might work; otherwise best bet for adopters would mostly be those who used webOS in the past and are OK with fewer apps
Agreed. With Enyo as the platform for apps, there is the possibility of a growing app base independent of the operating system. That, I believe, is the gamble being taken. If all of the apps exist on all platforms, the superior interface then wins. Of course, superior is subjective and affected by perception. Many feel the iOS interface is superior, despite the fact it lacks any personality or unique features. The only way to "get" WebOS is to use it, frankly I've never used anything like it, and am constantly frustrated by the shortcomings of the Android user interface. I'm constantly trying to swipe to delete emails, etc.
I think moving forward will be good. the pre3 is outdated hardware even though i still wish i will get open webOS for it. The only question that i have is with open webOS being ported onto newer devices will we lose the wave launcher. I still love the wave launcer and use it all the time. And I hope to keep a physical keyboard.
Thank you......our future looks bright
if we would have an alternative for horizontal (slider)-physical keyboard phone. Or at least 3.x community Edition for phones, but now sticking on 2.x with our beloved Pre's keyboard is a bit odd.
I still prefer my Pre3's keyboard and using it to my iPhone 4S for surfing and emailing, since my hands are pretty large, but fingernails work great on
but I love the silky smooth "EVERYTHING WORKS" on my iPhone, and apps for work that actually work, unlike on the "Force Close" platform.
If OWS has a silky interface and works better than Android, and updated regularly, it might have a shot. Only time will tell...

Nokia confirmed last month that it would start rolling out the Nokia Belle update to some Symbian^3 smartphone sometime in February 2012.
However, it appears that the Finnish handset maker is already shipping some of these devices with Nokia Belle preinstalled.
These Symbian Anna smartphones that are now shipped with Nokia Belle are not yet available in all regions, but the handset maker confirmed that the N8 with Belle was at the moment available for purchase in India.
Responding to a Nokia fan who was asking about the upcoming availability of the N8 with Belle on board, the Finnish company said "We are already shipping new versions with Nokia Belle installed. Check with your local store for more information."
Moreover, Nokia also confirmed that new Belle devices (N8, C6-01, C7 and other) were being shipped to Turkey and other European countries.
"Yes we have in some regions. You might want to check with your local store to be sure," replied Nokia to a fan who was asking about the availability of these Belle smartphone in Turkey and Europe.
Starting February 2012, the following smartphones will receive the Belle software update: Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7, Nokia 500 and Nokia Oro.
Unfortunately, Nokia has yet to announce the update's scheduler, so we can expect more information from the Finnish handset manufacturer in the following days.
Nokia Belle brings some important changes to Symbian phones, such as more home screens (six instead of three), improved status bar, new applications (Lync, Sharepoint, OneNote, Exchange ActiveSync and PowerPoint Broadcaster), visual multitasking and more.
It is also worth mentioning that once updated to Nokia Belle, these smartphones will be able to use the Near-Field Communications (NFC) capability, which allows them to share pictures, make mobile payments and connect accessories with just a tap.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26, 2010 (Reuters) — A federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down an Arizona requirement that residents prove U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote but upheld a mandate that they present identification before casting their ballots.
Opponents of the 6-year-old law incorporating both provisions — designed to prevent illegal immigrants from voting — said the ruling would likely lead to thousands being turned away at next Tuesday's elections for lacking the required identification records.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' invalidation of requirements for proof of citizenship comes too late for any prospective new voters who were barred from registering before the deadline for the November 2 U.S. mid-term elections.
The state denied registration of an estimated 30,000 Arizonans who failed to prove their citizenship during the first four years of the law, said John Greenbaum, legal director for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, one of the groups challenging the statute.
His organization hailed Tuesday's decision to strike down the proof of citizenship requirement as "a great victory for voting rights advocates."
A joint statement by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and Secretary of State Ken Bennett, both Republicans, called the ruling "an outrage and a slap in the face to all Arizonans who care about the integrity of their elections."
Neither side said whether it would appeal further.

Lisa Powell and Jeremiah Connally of Monroe got married Saturday and received many gifts.
But instead of blenders or toasters they got a truck full of food and big boxes stuffed with kids toys like a Nerf Crossbow, a Barbie Beetle and a Star Wars Lego set.
The happy couple have everything they need, so they decided to ask their guests to bring donations as gifts to help those less fortunate have a nice Christmas.
" We're established in life," said the new Mrs. Connally. " We're both very blessed."
"I thought it was a great idea," added the bridegroom. " We have more than we need."
On Sunday, the couple sorted through their gifts and delivered a truck full of food to the Oaks of Righteousness warming center. They then organized the toys to get them ready for delivery to the Salvation Army or Toys for Tots.
" We had a wonderful time," Mrs. Connally said. " We were blown away by the quality of the gifts."
About 160 guests braved the snowstorm Saturday night to attend the wedding held at the Monroe Council 1266, Knights of Columbus, hall on W. Front St. They brought dozens of toys and cases of food.
Sharon Schmelz, Lisa's mom, was thrilled with the idea of guests bringing donations instead of typical wedding gifts.
"I think it's fabulous," Ms. Schmelz said. "She was so happy she was crying all night. It's from the heart. People were bringing in cases of food. It was amazing."
Mrs. Connally, 39, is a clinical research coordinator at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, while her new husband, 38, is an electrician with Local 8 Toledo. They have three children between them from previous marriages, own a house and are comfortable.
So when Mr. Connally decided he wanted to have a wedding during his favorite time of the year, Christmastime, Mrs. Connally thought it would be best to forgo gifts and ask guests to bring toys and food instead. The idea was met with enthusiasm.
"It's been 100 percent positive," she said.
Mrs. Connally said she has a soft spot for the Salvation Army because when she was a little girl and her father was temporarily out of work, the agency was the only one that would help her family, so now she wants to give back. She had no reservations about not receiving any nice wedding gifts.
" That's what I love about her," Mr. Connally said. "She never wants anything. She never asks for anything."
On Christmas Day, the newlyweds will hit the road to begin their honeymoon. They will drive to Maryland where they will board a cruise ship and head for the Bahamas. It's a treat they're giving each other after they thought of others during on one of the happiest days of their new lives together.
"It was the best decision we ever made," Mrs. Connally said. "Except getting married."

In response to RedsoxProspects' comment:
By the way, Iglesias has hit .280 since joining Detroit, and had some of his best fielding plays. He's still hitting .320 for the year and has to be considered in the running for ROY I would think.
3 yrs form now we'll know who won this trade. Is Iggy continuing to hit the way has this year If so then probably an all star or is he a utility guy if he goes back to his career norms and all those bleeders don't continue to find all the holes? Does Peavey help lead the RS far into playoffs and like Hanley will easily be forgotten by RS fans? Have to give Ben credit, because RS have as good a shot as any team at baseball to win it this year, and as we all know those chances to come along all that often. Even if Iggy becomes an all star and RS don't win it this year when the chance presents itself you have to go for it! Go RS!
I agree. Can't sit idly by when you're arguably the best team in baseball. Still don't think that trade happens if they had a healthy Buchholz all year though. The trade covered their arsse Neglect if they didn't.
For a team with so many streaky players, the team as a whole hasn't been streaky at all. I chuckle about that from time to time. Sox lead MLB in series wins last time I checked so they're doing something right. Got that sinking feeling when Miller got hurt for the year, but it hasn't fazed them. And even if Buch doesn't come back, a 4 man rotation in the Post Season isn't unprecedented really.

- How to Read a Study Record
After Campath induction, followed with kidney transplantation, patients will be randomly assigned to receive either tacrolimus or cyclosporine microemulsion in combination with mycophenolates. Patients will be followed including protocol biopsy at 1, 12, 36, 60 month posttransplant, regular nuclein acid testing (NAT) for cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and BK virus (BKV) in urine and blood.
The investigation is undertaken to clarify the reason for equal survival rates for patients on cyclosporine and tacrolimus despite the lower rejection rate on tacrolimus.
Acute Graft Rejection
Chronic Allograft Nephropathy

that was great…
My other favorite comments and responses to people are,
"Better you than me!", which I would love to respond "Apparently so." and "Well, God bless you!", which I actually do respond "He already did."
This was hilarious. I couldn't believe the things people said after I had my twin boys who are almost three. One dad said been there, done that and just about lunged at him in my sleep deprived anger..Thanks for posting.
These are hilarious! I'm not a mom and I could watch these all evening! Unfortunately, I have an English paper to get writing : )
Thanks for sharing!
I love that…"What is your favorite brand of tampons" Have to remember that…

How Europe Affects Your Portfolio
When a possible default on Greek sovereign debt becomes headline news, a lot of people find themselves wondering, "How can the problems of a country so small and so far away create such turmoil in the world's financial markets?" What's happening in Europe is probably affecting your portfolio right now, regardless of the quality of your holdings or how well diversified you are.
Bank exposure
One of the chief concerns about the possibility of default on sovereign debt has to do with the financial stability of banks that hold it. For example, some of the largest French banks have already seen their credit ratings downgraded because of their extensive holdings of debt from troubled European countries. If a Greek default made banks reluctant to lend to one another, that could affect credit markets worldwide.
American banks hold very little Greek debt compared to European banks; however, they could face a different challenge. Derivatives known as credit default swaps can create a ripple effect, multiplying a default's impact beyond the bondholders to other financial institutions and institutional investors. U.S. financial institutions are major issuers of credit default swaps, and the potential impact that a Greek default would have is unclear. However, since the 2008 financial crisis, banks have been forced to hold greater capital reserves to deal with contingencies.
Potential for tighter credit creating recession
Lending worldwide hasn't fully recovered from the last financial crisis, and has helped keep global economic recovery sluggish. If banks' lending ability were impaired further by a financial crisis brought on by a default on sovereign debt, pessimists argue that a slowing global economy could be thrown into recession. Europe represents a major market for many U.S. companies, and a recession there would be felt around the globe.
Greece could be the tip of the iceberg
Even though Greece is the immediate concern, Europe's larger economies could pose a bigger threat. Italy and Spain both face debt and deficit problems. Italy's economy is more than five times that of Greece; Spain's is more than four times bigger (CIA World Factbook 2011). If a Greek default would have a ripple effect, default by Spain or Italy could create waves.
To compound the problem, borrowing costs for troubled countries have risen. At recent auctions, nervous investors have demanded higher interest rates to compensate them for their higher perceived risk. As any credit card holder knows, having to pay a higher interest rate makes paying off debt and balancing the budget more difficult.
All politics is local
Recently there have been signs that voters in stronger European countries, such as Germany, may be questioning why they should continue to support others when their own economies are slowing. Also, investors worry that the financial support available from the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) may not be sufficient or available quickly enough to avert problems. Though there's no shortage of suggestions for how to deal with the situation--issuance of euro bonds backed by all eurozone members, leveraging the EFSF's existing assets, greater fiscal integration among countries, Greece abandoning the euro--questions about the ability and willingness of other eurozone countries to support weaker members have contributed to investor anxiety.
Financial markets hate uncertainty, and the situation has contributed to the recent volatility across a variety of asset classes. However, eurozone leaders have the benefit of having watched the United States during the 2008 crisis. Also, they have generally reaffirmed their determination to defend the euro.
Uncertainty about Europe could persist for months, so while it's important to monitor the situation, don't let every twist and turn derail a carefully constructed investment game plan. To determine how market events might affect your own portfolio, don't hesitate to ask questions and get expert help.

1.Squat down, preferably against the wall (the same wall) so that when you fall you dont fall backwards!
2.Take in DEEP breaths quickly, until you fell a tingling sensation in your middle body around your diaphram or stomach. Usually happens within 20-40 breaths.
3.Take in one last breath and hold it, and stand up as quickly as possible.
4.Keep holding your breath until your vision clears. (Most likely it will not. You would have fainted by then.)
Note: If you do not faint on the first try, wait 5 minutes before trying again, and increase the number of breaths for the next attempt. You most likely realise that you have fainted only AFTER you wake up... Great feeling, really!

Police and soldiers seized 83 gambling machines and coins totalling 1.2 million baht, and arrested a suspect, in a raid on two premises in Nong Chok district of Bangkok on Wednesday.
The pinball, horse racing and slot machines were found at houses No 90/82 and 103/462 in Khok Faet sub-district.
Phitsanu Inkaew, 41 of Uthai Thani province, was arrested there. He said a man named Dam hired him to guard the machines and the coins, and he also repaired the machines for a living.
Acting police chief Pol Gen Watcharapol Prasarnrajkit said the machines had been moved from inner Bangkok and hidden there after the National Council for Peace and Order ordered a crackdown on gambling.
He said the raids would continue as similar machines were being kept in many other areas.

How To Get Solar Panels Installed In Santiago Chile
Solar energy is definitely the wave of the future. As technology continues to improve, and solar panels become cheaper to install, it will soon become the primary source for electricity that is generated for people all of the world. There are other forms of alternative energy which include windmill farms which take up several hundred acres, utilizing hundreds of windmills that can generate megawatts of electricity every day. But for the individual, a person that would like to simply get off the grid, and eliminate that excessive electric bill that they get every month, solar energy is an option that is available for almost everyone, and if you live in Santiago Chile, here is how you can get your solar panels installed.
How Solar Cells Work
These solar cells are made of silica, and when they are exposed to the light from the sun, there is a chemical process that occurs which generates electricity. As the purity of the silica continues to improve, and the technology that makes this possible becomes more efficient, we will soon be able to install these on most homes, and also businesses, helping people produce for electricity. The energy that is produced can be stored in batteries which will be used by the households or businesses. Those that have more than enough solar panels can actually sell this electricity back to the electric company, making this a profitable and efficient way to pay off the solar panels that you have purchased, and also generate a side income in some cases. Regardless of why you use these solar panels, either to simply get off of the grid, or produce a little extra money, it's good to work with the best solar panel installation business in your area, and there are many to choose from if you are living in Santiago Chile.
Best Installation Companies In Santiago Chile
The first thing that you will want to do is compare the many different companies that are out there that offer these services, looking at the packages that they have, and the prices that they charge. It's also important to consider when they are able to do this. If you have to wait several months because they have a long waiting list, and you want to have this done now, it might be worth paying a few hundred extra dollars for someone that will cater to your schedule, instead of having to wait for them to come out to you when they are able. Finally, look for reviews on the Internet where people have left feedback about their experience with each company, and choose the ones that have the most positive feedback online. This will give you the confidence that your money will be well spent, that the equipment that they use will be as advertised, and that the installation process will be successful helping you to finally get off of the grid, or simply reduce your electric bill every month. panelessolareschile.cl

Study of Growth Hormone and Bone in Obesity
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Obesity is an important risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. With the growing prevalence of obesity in the U.S., understanding the pathophysiology of bone loss in this population is of importance to public health. Growth hormone (GH) is a critical mediator of bone homeostasis and is markedly reduced in obesity. Our preliminary data suggest an important role for the GH/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) system in the pathogenesis of bone loss in obesity. The development of novel imaging techniques provides an opportunity to investigate the effects of GH on skeletal structure and strength, which will provide insights into the pathogenesis of obesity related bone loss. Understanding the pathophysiology of bone loss in obesity may help identify new treatment targets for this important complication. The investigator hypothesizes that low-dose GH administration for 18 months will improve skeletal health.

Manhattan Beach City Council To Vote On Pier Fishing Ban Following Great White Attack
CBS Los Angeles (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSLA.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSLA.com/Health
Top Features
MANHATTAN BEACH (CBSLA.com) — PETA Tuesday will fly a large banner over Southland beaches protesting fishing off local piers.
The banner, reading "Keep Hookers Off The Pier!", will fly from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Redondo Beach to Zuma Beach in Malibu, the group said.
The banner will fly just hours before the Manhattan Beach City Council will discuss the temporary fishing ban at their pier.
The ban has been in place since July 5 when 49-year-old swimmer Steven Robles was attacked by a great white shark.
Witnesses say a fisherman had been "chumming" the water to attract fish when the shark was hooked just prior to the attack.
Robles suffered non-life threatening injuries to his torso.
A recent study by the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab counted as many as 2,400 great white sharks off the California coast.
The City Council meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m.
