Kerry Washington Reaches New Heights
Liya Kebede may be known for her modeling gigs and her film roles, but 2007 marked the year she put her true passion into fruition, launching a home and clothing line called lemlem—meaning "to bloom" in Amharic. Her line was set up to support Ethiopia's local weaving traditions and her designs even caught the eyes of the powers that be at J.Crew—who picked up her creations in 2009 (she expanded into house wares in 2012). Known for her vibrant patterns and colors, Kebede told Elle.com about the which items she's currently coveting.

By Sean Duncan, email@example.com
Monday, April 17, 2006 11:59 AM CDT
It never ceases to amaze me how people with absolutely no interest in the game of baseball end up with some of the best seats in the park.
In the past, like many of you, I have voiced my displeasure of watching a game on television and being annoyed when I see the inevitable fan talking on their cell phone and waving to a camera.
They are completely oblivious to the action on the field, they just have to be seen in their high-priced seats wearing a team hat they more than likely purchased moments earlier and won't be able to find two weeks later.
It is safe to say the majority of these misfits are not only not fans of the teams they are watching, but of the game of baseball itself. It's just the cool thing to do.
These premium seats have not been held by true fans for many years, like most things in this country they have been consumed by corporate America as entertainment tools.
The avid follower of the game looks down on these inappreciative fortunate few and last week in Chicago, at historic Wrigley Field, my wife, Laura, the arch enemy of baseball, was right in the thick of it.
My wife's job as music director at WTTS takes her to the Windy City quite often for concerts. On this occasion she was in town to catch David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and before the show was invited to a Cubs-Cincinnati Reds game.
Her seat? The 13th row right behind home plate.
One of baseball's biggest non-fans walked into arguably the greatest park in the country and sat down - completely uninterested in the action on the field before, during or after the game - in the 13th row behind home plate.
Green with envy, I asked my lovely better half a few questions about her experience, or lack thereof, at Wrigley:
Q: Do you know the Cubs' record?
A: No. Why would I know the Cubs record?
Right now you can see where this is going.
Q: On the way in did you buy a program?
A: No. Why would I buy a program?
Because without a program, especially for you honey, they're just a bunch of guys running around in shirts with numbers on their backs.
Q: During the game, did you keep track of the score?
A: No. I couldn't see the old scoreboard in centerfield and the new ones on the sides were too sideways to read.
Q: Were there any home runs hit in the game by either team?
A: I don't know. I know the Cubs tried to get a home run a couple of times, but it went across the white line.
Way to go, baby.
Q: Did you see Derrek Lee?
A: Who is Derrek Lee?
Oh, boy.
Q: Did you know what the final score was?
A: I knew what the final score was, I didn't know who was winning.
Thanks for driving my point home.
Q: What was your most memorable moment?
A: The unique way a vendor yelled, "Hotdog!" You could even hear him when he was out in the bleacher seats.
Ah, the bleacher seats. That's where the true Chicago fans are.
She did score a few points on other questions.
Q: Did you get a Chicago Dog?
A: Yes.
Great job, darling. Two points.
Q: How about an Old Style?
A: Yes.
Roll, baby, roll. Two more points.
Q: Did you stand to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch?
A: Yes.
There might be hope for her yet.
Q: Did you add Harry Caray's famous ending, "Let's get some runs"?
A: Whatever.
She says that a lot.

A Daylesford cafe has gone up in flames, one of half a dozen fires to break out on a day when temperatures soared across the state.
A fire broke out at the Boat House cafe, on Leggatt Street, late on Saturday evening.
Firefighters from Ballarat were called to the scene, with other crews from across the region put on stand-by.
A Country Fire Authority spokeswoman said "significant" damage had been done at the eatery.
"We've had multiple calls from people about it...it's well alight," she said.

Sure, it's possible that Glen Sather is prepared to step aside as Rangers president and GM to make way for Brian Burke, an idea that has been given life by "ESPN.com's Scott Burnside":http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story?columnist=burnside_scott&id=3699161 and others.
Sather is 65. He's already reached the mountaintop a number of times as an NHL coach and GM, and in Burke, who this week relinquished his post in Anaheim, he would have a worthy, charismatic successor. Throw in the fact that the Rangers have declined my request to comment on Sather's near- or long-term future, and it's not something anyone can dismiss until Burke does actually land elsewhere.
Either way, where I stumble is the idea that Sather has "cemented" his legacy in the NHL, which is the rationale a source gave Burnside for Sather possibly wanting to retire. While no one can take away the record Sather compiled in winning five Stanley Cups in Edmonton and a Canada Cup for Canada, his tenure in New York is mostly an incomplete book.
The team is on better footing than it was, of course. Just as Sather was widely blamed for the disaster that was his first few seasons in Manhattan, he deserves credit for bringing the franchise back to respectability. But three early-round playoff exits don't necessarily constitute a triumphant reign here, especially when you consider how high he set the bar in his previous stop.
Of course, maybe Sather senses that these Rangers are not prepared to get over the hump, and he'd prefer to quit while he's at least salvaged his good name. It's at least a theory. But I've always operated under the assumption that Sather still feels he has some work left to do. And given that these Rangers, flawed as may be, have proven to at least be competitive this year, I don't think he's prepared to jump ship just yet.
Bear in mind that when Don Maloney left for Phoenix at the end of the 2006-07 seasons, one of his was reasons was he didn't get the sense that Sather was willing to surrender the GM chair anytime soon.
That was nearly two years ago, so Sather certainly could have changed his mind since then. But it's doubtful — not with the Rangers as close as they are, not with the job still incomplete.

Topic: Hernia develops after steriotactic radiation
Hi Everyone
I had three steriotactic radiation treatments last week. I started to have some swelling along my resection incision site after the first treatment and more after the second and third treatment. The radiologist said that swelling is normal but I should follow up with my surgeon. We met with the surgeon and I have developed a hernia. The chemo and radiation weakened the incision site causing the hernia. At this point we are just going to let it be since my body still has a lot of healing to do and another surgery would just complicate things. My CA 19-9 levels have skyrocketed after radiation but they said that was normal since the radiation kills the cells and as they die they release toxins into the blood stream. 1350 still freaks me out !!!!!!

Topic: Dreams
I haven't posted for awhile but I check on everyone quite frequently. I was just wondering if anyone has been experiencing recurring dreams about their loved ones. My husband Ken has been gone for 2 years now and I keep having this dream where he is with me and I ask him where he has been for the last 2 years. I always wake before I get an answer. I can come up with my own ideas on what it means- just wonder if I am not alone.

Wittenberg Professor Emeritus To Celebrate National Poetry Month
March 28, 2011
Filed in Arts and Culture, Community, Events
Springfield, Ohio – April is National Poetry Month, and those in the Miami Valley who love to read, write and listen to poetry are invited to celebrate with Wittenberg University Professor Emeritus of English, and host of WYSO Radio's "Conrad's Corner," Conrad Balliet. Balliet and several local poets will gather at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, in the Main Library Auditorium, of the Dayton Metro Library, 215 E. Third St. The program is free and open to the public.
Balliet retired from the classroom in 1992, after teaching courses at Wittenberg on Victorian literature and Irish writers Yeats and Joyce. For the last 19 years he has continued to share his love of poets and poetry on National Public Radio station WYSO 91.3-FM, based in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
During the program, Balliet will talk about his radio show and poetry – what makes good poetry. Local published poets Robert Brimm, Julie Moore, and Cathy Essinger will join others in sharing their work, and audience members will also be afforded time to read some of their original work.
"I'm not much of a poet. (I) seldom write any, and none of the quality of most of those who read." Balliet said of the poets he expects to read at the event.
A sign-up sheet will be available at the event for those who want to read from their own original works during an open mic following the scheduled readings. Balliet will follow a three-minute limit again this year to provide the opportunity for all who would like to participate. For more information, call the Dayton Metro Library at 937-463-2665.

Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders
Esophagus spams
I was told I had a hernia and need to have it repaired. The surgeon did a neisan wrap and tighten up my esophagus. Since then I have esophagus spams (feel like a really bad Charlie Horse) that are so very painful. it does not matter if I am drinking or eating or I don`t have to be doing anything at all. There is a lump where he did the wrap and it is also painful. I also pass out and can not bend over or sit up straight due to pain around where he did the wrap. I am in pain 24/7 and it is very painful to eat any type of food or drink fluids. He also nicked the vegus nerve when he did the surgery. I was told after the surgery I did not have a hernia but he did the procedure anyways thinking it would help. I went to him with a feeling of a lump in my throat that I have had for over 20 years.
Thank you,
If the vagal nerve is temporarily or permanently injured, it can affect swallowing. A GI or general surgeon would be better able to answer your questions concerning pain. I also am not knowledgeable about the post-operative course of patients after a Nissan. Again, this is a discussion you should have with your surgeon.
However, a lump in your throat is often seen in laryngeal reflux (acid injuring the larynx) and/or allergies. If the lump is due to laryngeal reflux, which is most common, the Nissan should help, since it reduces reflux.
If you have tried discussing these issues with your surgeon and feel you both are not communicating well, then a second opinion from another general surgeon should be considered.

Easy Rider
This may be the closest you'll ever get to Matthew McConaughey wrestling a grizzly bear
It shouldn't surprise anyone that Matthew McConaughey seems to star in every third romantic comedy—he's the perfect date-movie draw. Not only does the 39-year-old Texan possess a pec/dimple combination potent enough to hypnotize theaters full of women, he's also got something to offer their dates. What straight man could resist indulging in a McConaughey's-my-bro fantasy, complete with light beer and hours spent chillin' and grillin' outside the actor's famous Airstream, with the possibility of a wee-hours nude conga jam? Nicknamed "the Redneck Buddha" by actual bud and fellow shirt-eschewer Lance Armstrong, the onetime romancer of Penélope Cruz and Sandra Bullock has lately been hangin' with Brazilian model Camila Alves, who last July gave birth to their son, Levi. This month, McConaughey steps out on his two-time rom-com partner Kate Hudson to woo Jennifer Garner in The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
ELLE: Did you have any odd misunderstandings about human sexuality as a kid?
MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY: Oh yeah. From checking out Playboy I always thought—jeezum, we still don't have a better word for it than vagina, do we?—I thought it was behind the pubic hair, and it faced horizontal. You know, east/west, not south. So the first time I got to third base, man, I was hunting for a long time.
ELLE: You could have easily missed third altogether and wound up in a place so forbidden it never even got its own base.
MM: And I didn't want to go there. I was real spooked about hunting around, so it took about an hour to find.
ELLE: Congrats on fatherhood. You were quoted saying that during Camila's 14 hours of contractions, you "got tribal on it" and provided a soundtrack of Brazilian music. Having also attempted to deejay my wife's labor, I'm curious: At any point did she threaten to shove the boom box down your throat?
MM: Oh, they'll snap. Camila was the one who wanted the music, but she was also really quick to say, "Skip that fuckin' song!" So here I was blazing through this playlist while she's nodding her head yay or nay, and I'm like, This next song better have that groove or I'm going to have to run across the bed and change it.
ELLE: Your brother Rooster famously named his son Miller Lyte McConaughey. When your son was born, was there any impulse to follow in that family naming tradition?
MM: Like calling him Jose Cuervo? No. I wouldn't dare try to compete with Rooster. Now he's got a daughter coming, and I think her name is going to be Margarita. I'm serious.
ELLE: Barbara Walters seemed to be hitting on you during your 2006 interview, which ended with you rubbing her feet. If you'd both been single, might you have let her have her way with you?
MM: I would've had to tell those cameras to cut.
ELLE: All joking aside...?
MM: Look, I think Anthony Quinn once said, "There's something wrong with any heterosexual man under 80 if he can't find an angle with every woman." There's a lot of truth to that.
ELLE: Any woman you can think of who might not be coverworthy, but whom you find attractive?
MM: Not so specifically, but yeah. And I see it more with black women, who get dressed up and they're wearin' everything to fit snug, and they're walking the walk. And you're like, Man, look at you go! Where did you get that? She might be a larger package, but boy, she sure understands how she's wrapped.
ELLE: In your "Beef: It's What's for Dinner" radio ads, when you say, "Isn't it time you took your appetite on a romantic protein getaway?... Just the two of you lying side by side under sirloin skies," you make eating meat sound erotic. Could you do the same to persuade your girlfriend to schlep with you to Home Depot to pick up a generator for the Airstream?
MM: I'm sure so, man. You'd have to be kind of general, something like, "Mmm. Gonna go for a drive, check out the toolbox for some heavy machinery, and come back ready for a road trip. And since you're going to be my copilot, I need you overseein' what we're goin' to pick up because we're gonna have some choices to make. And I know you've been wantin' to pull this Airstream so we can make good time. It would be good that you're down there checkin' out the machinery."
ELLE: You wrestled cows to prepare for your role in Reign of Fire. Would you wrestle a croc for the woman you loved? A grizzly?
MM: Rather not. But if you can catch eye contact with a mammal, you can buy yourself some time—because as another mammal, you can communicate. You can't trust a reptile. But I have thought about how to win that fight with the grizzly.
ELLE: Do tell.
MM: I believe right as that grizzly gets to you, he's going to rear up, open his paws, and come down on you. You're going to have to shoot the gap, go in straight to the chest, and take your bowie knife to the gut and pull up through the rib cage. If it's a death shot, that grizzly's going to fall on you. The real trouble's going to be getting out from under it.
ELLE: I'm stunned by the amount of thought you've put into this.
MM: Oh, I have dreams about this kind of shit. I don't want to wrestle any of these things, but I'm just saying, that's what I'd do if the situation arose where I'm just sitting there and I go, Oh, look there. That grizzly has got my girl and child. How we gonna work this out?

Female Police OfficersPeople think that there will be female police officers because they have seen a screenshot of one. Sure this could be true but if nobody else noticed, there is also a screenshot of a female police officer in the GTA San Andreas screenshots. Here it is!
Yes, the female police officers appears for both GTA San Andreas and GTA V only in artwork, not in actual gameplay screenshots. If in the end there are no females, I believe we might include this in the Trivia section: "Altough there is artwork decipting a female police officer, there is no such woman in the game, similar to GTA San Andreas.". Until then, we shouldn't take this artwork as valuable game information. Eruul2012 (talk) 08:58, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
Good job on this. Far much better than that idiotic LSPD page that added loads of rumors a few months ago. --Zulu2065 (talk) 18:53, January 18, 2013 (UTC)--
Just been researching and there is one police woman in San Andreas. That is the potential girlfriend of CJ called Barbara Schternvart who you find outside a police station, although the artwork looks nothing like her. LS11sVaultBoy (talk) 18:59, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
There are gonna be female cops in GTA V, in the first trailer one can be seen and the Preorder poster has a Female cop named Vasquez. This should be noted. Matt Seay (talk) 21:28, April 13, 2013 (UTC)
We need to find the proper logo, any info just post here, thanks... Massionet51 (talk) 17:38, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
Anybody notice how fucking hard the cops are??? Hamodey1 (talk) 19:24, November 30, 2013 (UTC)
No Way Is That True!
I don't believe it. I don't think the cops start wearing heavy armor when you get 5 Stars. In fact, I've gotten 5 Star shootouts each time I played the game, and never once have I seen this. But if they do appear, but only appear in a specific area, please add that, or at least add some pictures, 'cause I wanna see them, and I don't think I can find them myself. Was it added in a patch, maybe? I can't update my game with that stuff because I don't have internet connection near my Xbox 360. TeddyBearZRule (talk) 20:03, May 7, 2014 (UTC)
Police Stations
Shouldn't there be only the five stations (six if you count the join station at Davis) for the LSPD? The other two are LSSD stations that are not operated by the Los Santos Police Department or the City of Los Santos. I'll leave this question up for a couple of days, then I'll edit the related description and the related images. Archangel Two (talk) 05:21, September 7, 2014 (UTC)
The gallery images on this page and the Los Santos County Sheriff need serious renaming and licensing. It should be noted that nearly all images in their galleries do not follow the image policy. () 01:22, March 5, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

- This doesnt happen in the old ones though. It only happens in GTA IV and V. What I mean is the Firefighters and Parademics can break any rule (Fighting, Trespassing, Carjacking, etc.) Without getting in trouble even if the police near them.

- On the technical side, firefighters and paramedics are technically allowed to commit certain crimes like such without breaking the law, but regardless, I don't see how it's significant. Mr. Ferrari (talk) 18:41, February 28, 2016 (UTC)

Many of us or the most of us have just yesterday found how it is a Data center of Google....
What do you think?
It's just a fantastic . Looks like some base of army or something like that .
Maintaining and managing the data is no an easy process for many of the famous center so I feel that it is an extraordinary work of Google.
It is great work of google that make it best
I have watch the video of data center of google.Google has great setup of data center.
It's awesome, This video shows that Google is providing best safe service for data storage to the world.
Pretty cool. Here is another, longer one that impressed me:
It sure is a step up from a humble garage. :lol: Despite the dry delivery, there are some nice touches of humor, such as the reference to the "personal transportation device" (3:30) and the "Google nightlife" (4:30).
Impressive and brilliant work!
Google's secure data centers are some of the most energy efficient in the world.
I don't want to hurt anyone, but Google is one of the most popular and powerful (maybe the most powerful) web companies in the world .
What has that got to do with their datacenters? :shifty:
I wished that I had that "personal transportation device" when I was a kid... I'd feel as if I was very advanced for using the transport of the future
I did have one as a kid, and am now amazed at how advanced I was back then. (I was just missing a billion dollar data center to go with it. :shifty: )
All they want. Above all, they do not depend on anyone. They have all the resources to do what they want. I'm not trying to exaggerate that, it's just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong .
[ot]We can ask Google if they'll give you one... They will very likely say no but you'll never know until you try :shifty:
If they say yes...Can we share? :lol:[/ot]

Now, there are happy families out there who would've been pleased to slice those little babies into their giant family reunion buffet salad, perch them atop their backyard burgers, or throw them in the blender for a Sunday afternoon Bloody Mary bash.
But what I did is, I let them sit prettily in a basket on my countertop. I admired them for days and days, until they began to go all soft and stinky. And there might have been some minuscule, fluffy white mold spores forming on their smooth surface, like tiny snowflakes on Scarlett Johansson's big red lips.
And so dear readers, that is what I did. First I showered them briefly with salt and pepper, and lubed them with some olive oil. Two hours later, my kitchen smelled like my Italian grandma's would on a Sunday afternoon, and there is something about that aroma that makes my mouth water.
"What can I eat for lunch?" you ask. How about sticking some of these tomatoes in a fresh mozzarella sandwich with a slice of prosciutto and some fresh basil leaves? Heat the sandwich on a griddle or your panini maker, and you have a sandwich that would make a Roman truck driver very jealous.
And what about dinner? Tonight I made them into a sauce for some fresh pasta (cavatelli, from Whole Foods) with my very favorite green vegetable, broccoli rabe.

COOKING roadshows aimed at helping families to cook healthy but fun meals began in Alcombe last week.
'Cook 4 Fun', has been organised by Somerset Village agent Caroline Harding, Christine Payne, coordinator for the West Somerset Food Cupboard and chef Claire Lynch from Claire's Kitchen.
The idea was formed after a discussion with the Food Cupboard revealed that the number of food parcels distributed by the charity each week was increasing.
Caroline Harding said: "Many families who receive food parcels are unsure of how to make the best use of them, so by working with Claire Lynch, a menu was put together using the main ingredients found in a food parcel plus a few extras.
"We are trying to encourage families not to go for expensive ready-meal options with often low nutritious value but instead to have fun, save money, and eat more healthily using lower cost food items."
The Cook 4 Fun demonstration at The Alcombe Children's Centre showed families how to make a chicken balti, a corned beef hash, an apple cake and additional recipes to take home.
The roadshows have been made possible by the support of Cllrs Frances Nicholson and Christine Lawrence from their Health and Wellbeing grant.
Further demonstrations will be taking place in Williton, Watchet, Wheddon Cross and Porlock over the next coming months.

Learn how to redo your house and save energy
There's power in the economies of scale to save big dollars in renovation costs and over the years, thousands in utility bills.
Is there enough interest, though, in Maple Ridge for homeowners to plan their renovations together?
James Rowley wants to find out next Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers when Now House explains how retrofitting old homes can save thousands of dollars in electricity and natural gas bills.
He pointed out that when Now House retrofitted a single older home in Ontario, the price came in at about $80,000, meaning the homeowner would wait years before recouping the renovation costs.
Then Now House did the same thing to five houses and the cost dropped to $60,000 for each house.
"Then they did 95 in Windsor, Ont., and they got it down to about $15,000 each. That's the economies of scale."
Rowley said the meeting is just to see how many homeowners in Maple Ridge are interested in a cooperative approach to eco renovations.
"If we could get 200 homes in Maple Ridge, that would put Maple Ridge on the map."
Rowley lives in an older home, built in 1923 in Hammond, which he's already renovating under a heritage agreement, so installing energy-saving devices and materials as part of the process is a logical thing to do.
"We're renovating our house. If we're renovating, we may as well try to reduce the footprint."
Older homes usually benefit most by retrofitting, but homes built in the 1980s are also inefficient and could benefit while there are many older houses around the Hammond cedar mill that would be suitable for an energy redo.
Rowley is a member of Hammond Neighbours and has posted the details about the event on the group's website.
According to its website, Now House is a group of architects, building designers and engineers who collaborate on converting older homes to near-zero energy use. Some even can provide energy back into the electrical grid.
Maple Ridge district is supporting the event by providing the venue while City Green Solutions and Oasis Eco- Group, which builds green homes, will also be there and there's a chance to win a free energy audit.
Every house is different, but retro-fitting techniques can range from insulating the concrete foundations of a house using rigid foam insulation, re-insulating a roof, installing solar electric and solar-thermal panels, adding an extra layer of insulation to the outside walls, upgrading lighting and heating, even insulating the basement floor can all bring energy costs to near zero.
Some grants are available from the provincial government but more free money is available if residents band together.
Rowley said ensuring the building envelope – the walls and roof – are insulated offers the most energy savings. "If you just take care of the building envelope, you don't have to do much more."
And renovating older homes with the latest in building materials and using energy saving techniques has far less environmental impact than building a new one.
"The greenest house is the one still standing."
He said that many homeowners may not be in his position, with plans ready for a major refit, but said getting people thinking of the idea of saving energy is important.
"I think its time we property-tax-payers stopped waiting for our governments to give us the right incentive to do the right thing. It's always the right time to do what is right."

By Scott Reeder | Special to Watchdog.org
SPRINGFIELD – Years ago, when I was a reporter for a newspaper in Las Vegas, I encountered a homeless family living in a shelter.
The family consisted of a husband, wife and their four children who lost everything because of the husband's gambling habits.
"When I lost the rent money, I decided it was time to go back to the casino and win it back," the father explained.
The parents took more risks trying to win their money back; instead they became destitute.
This is the same mindset Illinois lawmakers have as they invest pension money.
The state is turning to increasingly risky investments in an effort to make up its shortfall.
For example, the Teachers' Retirement System, or TRS, holds more than $1 billion in junk bonds, formally known as sub-investment grade securities. More than 14 percent of the TRS bond portfolio is tied up in junk bonds according to its comprehensive annual financial report for 2012.
Companies in financial distress issue these bonds and try to lure would-be investors by offering high interest rates.
Of course, if the company goes bust, speculators lose everything.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to invest any of my retirement savings in this type of scheme. But apparently, some folks in state government think it's a perfectly fine place to put our teachers' retirement savings.
The problem is our state pension systems are underfunded to the tune of more than $200 billion, under new accounting standards.
So those handling investments for the pension funds are feeling the pressure to get higher returns.
And if those investments go south, Illinois taxpayers will be asked to make up the difference.
Investment losses are one factor in a complex formula pension funds use when determining how much tax money to request from the Legislature each year.
It should frustrate not just teachers but all Illinois taxpayers that their money is being invested in this manner.
Even more frightening is that legislation has been introduced to make the state taxpayers explicitly responsible for pension systems' shortfalls. Do taxpayers really want to be guaranteeing junk bonds?
So who can be trusted?
I, for one, believe in the individual.
Eighty-five percent of private sector workers don't have pensions. They use IRAs, 401(k) plans and other defined contribution plans to make investment decisions for themselves.
Why not government workers as well?

Raleigh, N.C.-based tech provider Valencell has its figurative finger on the pulse of wearables. Actually, it's not that figurative, as the company's "biophysical characterization" technology uses biological information and environmental "noise" to deliver biometric information from a wearer's blood flow. In other words, its technology may well be in your next wearable.

Brantley, Swish back Bauer in win over Yanks
Sluggers both go deep, combine for five RBIs to help righty top Tanaka
CLEVELAND -- The calm that Michael Brantley projects in the batter's box is now carrying over into the Indians' dugout. When the Cleveland outfielder settles into his stance, bouncing his bat off his left shoulder, his teammates are now expecting something good to happen.
"It's almost like a sigh of relief when he gets to the plate," Indians starter Trevor Bauer said. "It's like, 'OK, Brantley's at the plate, we're in a good spot.'"
On Tuesday night, Brantley delivered again. And again. And again.
In a battle of American League All-Stars, Brantley bested Yankees phenom Masahiro Tanaka with three extra-base hits to help power the Indians to a 5-3 victory at Progressive Field. The center fielder showed off his skill in the field with a highlight-reel running catch in the first inning and put his potent bat on display by driving in three runs for the Tribe.
Bauer turned in a solid effort on the mound, while Brantley led an offensive attack that resulted in Tanaka's worst showing during his stellar rookie season. The New York right-hander allowed five runs on 10 hits -- both career highs -- and surrendered a pair of home runs, including a momentum-swinging two-run shot to Nick Swisher in the sixth inning.
Following the win, which improved Cleveland's record to 25-17 at home, Swisher sang superlatives for Brantley's season.
"Dr. Smooth is doing it, man," Swisher beamed. "He's just a pro hitter. That's all there is to it. ... He's coming into his own. It's the best sign we've had so far this year for the Indians."
Against Tanaka, Brantley finished 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI doubles and a solo home run. The All-Star outfielder pulled a pitch down the right-field line for a double in the first inning, slapped another two-base hit down the left-field line in the fifth and launched an 0-1 offering out to right-center for a two-out shot in the seventh.
Brantley joined Boston's Dustin Pedroia (June 28) and the Cubs' Luis Valbuena (May 20) as the only players to have a three-hit game against Tanaka this season. Brantley is also only the second player this year to collect three extra-base hits against the Yankees starter, though Boston's Mike Napoli has done so across two separate games.
Brantley said his approach was simple enough in theory.
"Get him up in the zone. That was our biggest thing going into the game," Brantley explained. "He does such a great job of keeping the ball down that we knew we had to get him up in the zone and get mistake pitches to hit. If not, it was going to be a long night. I think we did a great job as a team."
Indians manager Terry Francona was impressed with the way his entire lineup executed that plan, especially early in the game.
Tanaka labored through 41 pitches (21 strikes) in the first two innings and went on to allow four runs between the fifth and seventh frames. In the sixth, Swisher got a hanging 1-2 slider and sent it into the bleacher seats to put Cleveland ahead for good, 4-3. Brantley's blast one inning later -- giving him a team-high 14 homers on the year -- gave closer Cody Allen ample cushion for his 10th save.
"Our lineup did a really good job of trying to stay away from balls that are out of the zone," Francona said, "and trying to get a fastball or something over the middle that we could hit. And not missing it. That's a lot easier said than done."
Tanaka (12-4, 2.51 ERA) picked up his third loss in his past four starts after opening the season 11-1 with a 1.99 ERA.
That offensive showing against one of the American League's top pitchers helped support a solid showing from Bauer (3-4), who logged 112 pitches in his seven innings of work. The Yankees grabbed a 3-1 lead off Bauer through two innings, but the young righty settled down, settled in and gave up just one hit to the final 21 batters he faced.
"I thought he did a great job weathering it," Francona said of Bauer, who was charged with two earned runs over seven innings. "That game had a chance early to [get away from us]. If they start tacking on there, we're in trouble, especially with Tanaka pitching. I thought [Bauer] did a really good job."
During his previous start against the Dodgers, Bauer gave Brantley a hug in the dugout in Los Angeles after the outfielder lined into a hard-luck out. On Tuesday, the pitcher could have done the same after Brantley tracked down a deep fly ball to straightaway center field, robbing Derek Jeter of an extra-base hit two batters into the game.
"I'm glad you brought that up," Francona said of Brantley's catch. "Because at the time, who knows what happens after that?"
Brantley saw to it that a win was what happened in the end.
The All-Star outfielder is now batting .328 with 37 extra-base hits, 60 RBIs, 59 runs and 10 stolen bases through 85 games. He and Angels outfielder Mike Trout are the only two hitters in the Majors with at least a .300 average, 35 extra-base hits, 60 RBIs and 10 thefts on the basepaths this season.
It is a showing that has earned a trip to the All-Star Game for Brantley, who got to share that news with his father, former big leaguer Mickey Brantley, on Sunday.
"It's something I'll never forget," Brantley said of that conversation with his dad. "He just said that he's proud of me, that he loves me and that all the hard work we've put in is paying off. He told me to continue to have fun and doing what I can."

The Oscars' red carpet is rolled out
Preparations are underway on the red carpet for the big night, as Hollywood's most prestigious event approaches.
With Ellen DeGeneres hosting and a mix of A-list stars and new faces likely to claim Oscars, there are bound to be more this year.
But will they be memorable enough to join 10 of the best moments in Oscars history?
Roberto Benigni channels Crocodile Dundee
When Life Is Beautiful won best foreign language film in 1999, a jubilant Roberto Benigni clambered over the seats in front to get to the stage in a classic Oscars celebration. Then when he won best actor, the Italian star joked: "This is a terrible mistake because I used up all my English".
Adrien Brody's kiss
In 2003, Adrien Brody became the youngest winner of best actor for The Pianist and promptly celebrated with a spectacular smooch with presenter Halle Berry. When he turned up next year, he gave a quick squirt of breath spray before presenting best actress.
Marlon Brando sends a substitute
Instead of Brando, Native American Sacheen Littlefeather aka Maria Cruz accepted best actor for The Godfather in 1973. He boycotted the awards because of Hollywood's mistreatment of Native Americans.
Heath Ledger wins
He could easily have won best actor for Brokeback Mountain in 2006 - but was beaten by another actor who sadly left us too soon, Philip Seymour Hoffman, for Capote. But when Heath Ledger won a posthumous supporting actor Oscar for The Dark Knight in 2009, his family's emotional acceptance was an indelible moment.
Hobbits rule the world
The finale to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, swept the Oscars with a record-equalling 11 wins in 2004. The movie world tilted on its axis towards New Zealand.
Marisa Tomei wins
It seemed so unlikely that rumours persisted for years that the wrong name had been read out. At 29, Marisa Tomei beat Judy Davis,Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Plowright and Miranda Richardson to win best supporting actress for My Cousin Vinny in 1993. But after one of the real shocks of Oscars history, Tomei's two subsequent nominations - for In The Bedroom and The Wrestler - prove it was no fluke.
Acclaim for Charlie Chaplin
Sure, there have been plenty of standing ovations at the Oscars, But Charlie Chaplin's lasted 12 minutes when he accepted a lifetime achievement award in 1972.
Bjork's swan dress
In the history of extraordinary looks at the Oscars - some spectacular, others memorable for different reasons – there is a special place for Bjork's swan dress in 2001. "Swans seem to sort of stand for a lot of things," she explained. Right then ...
Cuba Shines
Referencing your character in an Oscars acceptance speech does not always work. Sally Field has long been burdened by paraphrasing Norma Rae ("You like me, right now, you like me!") in 1980. But Cuba Gooding Jr ripped it up when he accepted in character after winning for his flashy "show me the money" role in Jerry Maguire in 1997.
George C. Scott mouths off
The star of Patton won best actor in 1971 even after telling the Academy he would refuse the nomination because he did not like competition with fellow actors. Scott described the ceremony as "a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons."
That was clearly ridiculous ... it's more like three hours.

When Pink Lining started it was a fashion bag label but when designer Charlotte Pearl was expecting her first child, Amelia-Rose, and unable to find a pretty yet functional changing bag she designed the Yummy Mummy bag. The bag was so popular that Charlotte began to focus on solely designing changing bags to fill the gap in the market. The bag is distinguished by the applique fairy cake and Yummy Mummy slogan.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (1738 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Winnipeg man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for killing his former friend with a hammer.
Daniel Peterson was convicted of manslaughter earlier this year after jurors rejected his claim of self-defence. He returned to court today to learn his fate.
The Crown was seeking up to 15 years in prison, while Peterson asked for as little as six years behind bars.
Queen's Bench Justice Colleen Suche gave Peterson credit for 52 months of time already served, plus ordered him to serve another 56 months in custody.
Peterson was originally charged with second-degree murder but was seeking a full acquittal, claiming it was a legally justified homicide. He admits beating James Cruickshank, 44, to death in a Hargrave Street apartment in October 2008. But Peterson claimed he attacked the victim while defending himself from a sexual assault.
Cruickshank died of massive head trauma after being hit repeatedly with the weapon. Peterson confessed to police when they interviewed him two days later. He claims Cruickshank forced a sexual act on him while the two men drank inside the suite. Defence lawyer Amanda Sansregret told jurors that amounts to provocation.
The victim's family told the Free Press they were distressed by the verdict and the way their loved one was portrayed in the hearings.
"He was a family member. He was a son, he was a brother, he was an uncle, and he was a person, and they didn't get to see him that way. You know, they saw him as a gay, coke-selling rapist," a family member, who didn't want his name used, said of Cruickshank.
"We never got a chance to say that to the jury. They just saw him as Daniel Peterson described him -- (and Peterson is) the guy that killed him."

jane pants (vlisco fabric + lisette patterns)
Added Jun 14, 2013
by cathytxtwfr
Ouidah, Benin
A friend (Jane) sent buttons from Canada all the way to Benin.
What better thing thing to make than gold print pants with Vlisco fabric using Lisette patterns? And then a top made with secondhand sheets and leftover gold print fabric for a contrast?
Then a mutual friend (Frances) came to visit and I decided to debut my outfit at the three story Dantokpa fabric market in Cotonou.
This is what I love most about sewing: the weaving of my present life in Benin with my past friends either through visits or surprise buttons in the mail!

Not perfect but still beautiful.
I love this ring. I got this one because I really wanted an eternity band but I'm about to go thru lap band surgery and with the weight loss I wouldn't be able to size it. This one I can. I ordered a size 9, but I wear a 9.5, but this ring fit fine. I guess that's because the band is thin. The ring is not straight. And the one thing that really threw me was that the diamond one off from the top has a huge flaw in it that makes it looks like a piece of pepper stuck in it. I would have hopped they would put the lower quality diamonds on the sides and not right on top. The diamonds are not all set level to each other also. This is a beautiful but I guess I'm paying for what I get.Read More
Gorgeous Ring!!
First of all Overstock Customer Service is Awesome! I had a little trouble with the delivery, but Overstock took care of the situation. The ring sparkles so beautifully. I got lots of compliments from my co-workers. At first I thought it would be too bulky for my small hands. It fit perfectly. This ring complemented my 5/8 pear e-ring just wonderfully. I also got my e-ring from Overstock too! I wear a 5 1/2 ring size and this fit to the size. It actually stopped my e-ring from twisting. This ring enhanced my e-ring, with so much bling, I have to keep my nails done for this one ladies. Its really breathtaking. I love my new ring. Thank you Overstock!Read More
Elegant and sparkly - a great investment
I was reluctant to order a diamond ring sight unseen, but am thrilled with my purchase and my overall experience with Overstock. After much deliberation (and online chats with Overstock agents) I chose this ring, even though it only had two reviews compared to similar products with many more reviews, and waited patiently for it to arrive. It arrived early in very discreet and safe packaging, and was truly stunning, but unfortunately I had selected the wrong size. Though disappointed, I knew I had to send it back. I got all my instructions and requested the correct size via chat and reluctantly sent it on its way. (I was nervous about discussing and transacting on a pricy purchase solely online - the first time doing so for me, but everything was in order). The correct version came back to me a day earlier than expected, and I wore it today for the first time. I received compliments about how beautiful it was. It is bright and sparkly, looks very elegant and looks beautiful next to my other rings. The stones are clear and even, and it is exactly as advertized and pictured. I am tempted to order another one already since the value is fantastic! The 1ct size is large enough to wear on its own, but the band is thin enough that you can wear it as a wedding or anniversary ring or stackable option with others. Bottom line - I am very happy with my beautiful purchase, and will definitely order fine jewellery from Overstock again. Thank you for a great experience.Read More
Beautiful wedding band
This beautiful 15 diamond wedding band is gorgeous and I loved it from the moment I saw it. I wear the wedding band without an engagement ring and it is big enough that it can stand on its own. It was well worth the $ and I would happily buy it again.Read More

Nothing Extrordenary
The ring was uncomfortable to wear. Hurt between my fingers. Diamonds were white but cloudy not sparkly.Read More
The ring was nice and she loved it. But I didn't like the fact that when I got the ring in the mail it was filthy and I had to take it to have it cleaned. If I buy something NEW, I expect it to look and shine like new. Not look like someone else had worn it.Read More

Major Eugene Lacy Wheeler
On 21 April 1970, Major Eugene L. Wheeler, piot; and Capt. Charles E. Hatch, co-pilot; comprised the crew of an OV-10A Bronco conducting a morning reconnaissance mission over Quang Tin Province, South Vietnam. The mission included searching for NVA troops and supplies known to be infiltrating into South Vietnam through a major artery of the infamous HO Minh Trail. As soon as the Bronco entered the target are, Major Wheeler established radio contact with the onsite Forward Air Controller (FAC). The FAC provided the Bronco's crew updated information regarding enemy movements before directing them to begin their mission. At 1125 hours, as the Bronco was flying low over the rugged jungle covered mountains along the border, it was struck by enemy anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) FIRE. Major Wheeler and Capt. Hatch ejected their crippled aircraft and landed safely on the ground some distance apart. Both men established voice contact with FAC who, in turn requested a search and rescue (SAR) operation be initiated. The are in which Gene Wheeler vanished was just east of South Vietnamese/Laotian border approximately 17 miles west of Kham Duc. The mountains were covered in dense jungle dotted with small clearins, laced with trails and footpaths and heavily populated with a large number of communist troops. As the SAR Aircraft arrived on site later that afternoon and approached the area of the down aircrew, the SAR helicopter came under intense and accurate groundfire from concealed enemy positions. After several unsuccessful attempts to enter the area, SAR personnel determine they were not going to able to evacuate the men before dark. The SAR commander radioed Major Wheeler and Capt. Hatch to find cover for the night and they would return in the morning at first light. The next morning when the search aircraft returned to the area of loss, they reestablished voice contact with both downed crewmen. Major Wheeler told the resuce personnel to go after his co-pilot first because he was pinned down by enemy fire and he believed it was too dangerous for them to try to pick him up first. As the helicopter moved into position to recover Charles Hatch, Gene Wheeler reported that the enemy troops were moving in on his position. Subsquently, the helicoper successfuly extracted Charles Hatch. In his debriefing statement, Capt. Hatch reported that ahortly before his resuce, he heard automatic weapons fire followed by the sound of pistol shots emanating from the general area of Major Wheeler. He had no further contact with Major Wheeler after that time. The operation continued for the Bronco's pilot, but when no additional radio contact could be established, the serach was terminated and Gene Wheeler was reported as Missing in Action.

Japanese Ambassadors Visits Crescent City
Two members of the Japanese consular offices visited Crescent City to thank the community for their efforts to send the Japanese boat that washed up on shores back to Japan.
The Deputy Consul General, Nobuhiro Watanabe, and Vice Consul, Takeshi Kurashina, both from the San Francisco consulate office were in Crescent City. While there they had lunch with the Crescent City Mayor before visiting the Del Norte Sheriff's office.
Watanabe presented the Sheriff's office with a certificate thanking them for their help rescuing the ship from the Crescent City beach it washed up on shore. Members of the city council and board of supervisors welcomed the diplomats. While there the mayor presented them with a key to the city.
Following the visit to the Sheriff's office the two members of the consul attended an assembly at Del Norte High School. Several students worked to clean off the Japanese boat and help send it back to Japan. Several students plan to visit Rikuzentaka in February.
Watanabe said this is not the end of the relationship between the American and Japanese fishing town.

Daily Comments
Adnan Oktar's conversations with guests
After Mr. Adnan Oktar said that there is no difference between the use of conventional and chemical weapons since they both result in death, many officials and Prime Minister Erdogan began to draw attention to this issue.
A9 TV: November 24th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: When they kill people with drum bombs they think it's normal. When it is chemical weapons, they say, "This is wrong. How could you kill people with chemical weapons? Kill them with drum bombs, napalm bombs or howitzers instead." They say, "You should blow the place up and cause turmoil and bloodshed. But the other is chemical; it is not acceptable." This is not normal. After my explanations, this also caught the attention of our Prime Minister. He began to draw attention to this abnormality everywhere in the world. No leader has thought of this before. "It is bad to kill with chemical weapons, but it is OK to kill with conventional weapons": This was their state of mind.
A9 TV: October 8th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: They were not thinking. Look at their statements before – the statements made over the last 30 years- they are congratulating those who don't use chemical weapons and they are praising those who use conventional ones. They say, "If you kill in this way, it is legitimate. This is a clean way to kill, but the other is not; we don't like that one." They are insisting on this. They have just understood that they were tactless about it, and that this wasn't normal. They have just noticed that they overlooked it. World leaders are in such a dilemma. After my statements, our Prime Minister made a statement saying, "Both chemical and conventional weapons are the same." But I have been saying this for months.
A9 TV: May 1st, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: However this is now a little strange isn't this? They are murdering Muslims. They are executing them by firing squad and bombs. They are destroying buildings and people with howitzers . So these are considered normal, but when it comes to killing with chemical weapons, they say, "No! This is not humane." Is it humane to kill with bombs? They are riddling them with holes. They are struggling on the ground; bones broken, legs and arms are shattered. Is this what is humane? They don't like the way of killing? Is that a better way to kill? Since it is accepted as a good method to kill, there is no need for intervention, but if he is not killing properly, I will not allow it. What kind of mentality is this? It is very unreasonable.
Violence is very bad no matter how it is done. If they are killed with chemical weapons or by any other means, this is murder. And murder is something that must be stopped as an act of humanity; but this, plus all the problems of the Middle East and the world, can only be solved through the Turkish Islamic Union. Therefore Islamic Union must be established as soon as possible.
January 28th, 2014: CNN Türk
Prime Minister Erdogan, who spoke at a group meeting of his party, said that there is a heart -wrenching human tragedy going on at the Yarmouk camp and continued:
"People are starving to death. Religious scholars are giving fatwas to eat dog and cat meat. In the face of the image of children being killed with chemical weapons in Syria, everyone would be ashamed but hundreds of thousands of people were also killed with conventional weapons" and reminded the audience that this must not be forgotten.

Becky Schneider pours a taste of Golden Oak Aged Reserve in the sun-washed tasting room at Pomona Winery near Alto Pass, Illinois, and watches as Anne Pitts sips it. "I used to have a problem calling wine creamy until this one," Becky says, grinning as a familiar look of wonder spreads across Anne's face and adding, "I've never tasted anything like it. I steam a lot of veggies in it; I throw it in pasta sauces."
Anne, who's toured California's Napa and Sonoma valley vineyards, slowly shakes her head. "Even after a few seconds, it's still buttery," she says in amazement.
Becky just smiles and continues the $3 taste tour of 10 wines at Pomona, one of 12 wineries on the hilly, wooded Shawnee Hills Wine Trail (110 miles southeast of St. Louis). She pours a sample of Orchard Harvest, which she likes to add to chicken noodle soup. The Orchard Spice is like apple pie in a glass, and it's great in white chicken chili, she says. She also drizzles the strawberry dessert wine on fruit salads and into brownie batter.
Seth Blickhan, sales manager at nearby Alto Vineyards, shares cooking ideas during tastings, too. A Spanish-style sangria warming in a slow cooker makes a house smell like Christmas, and Alto's dark red Norton has a mint finish that pairs beautifully with lamb chops. Cooked down, cherry wines make an amazing pork chop braising liquid, and the Chancellor spikes burgers ready for the grill.
Spend even just a little time among these family-owned wineries nestled in Shawnee National Forest, and you'll feel a welcome tug: Do you go home with bottles of wine in tow and start cooking, or do you linger with a glass and watch the sun set over a vista stretching more than 35 miles?

Williamstown United Methodist Pastor Barry Robinson said that is the question many asked when a devastating March tornado ripped through Crittenden leaving property and homes in destruction.
As the pews of the church overflowed Saturday with willing volunteers to help tornado victims in Grant and surrounding counties, Robinson provided the answer.

• ranivorous •
Pronunciation: ræ-ni-vê-rês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Frog-eating.
Notes: You probably thought this word applied only to a small circle of animals. Guess what? Americans and Europeans are as ranivorous as any animal—a ranivorousness we may owe to the French, who long ago discovered the delicacy of flavor in the legs of the bull frog. The adverb would be ranivorously and the noun ranivorousness rather than ranivorosity. Creatures, like us, that eat frogs are ranivores. Anything shaped like a frog is said to be raniform.
In Play: Biologists are worried about the world-wide disappearance of frogs that cannot be attributed to ranivorous species. Many believe that frogs are a sentinel species, an early warning of a failure in our ecosystem that will mean more mosquitoes and other insects, and fewer ranivorous animals like minks, otters, raccoons, and snakes. Why are the frogs disappearing? We are sticking to our original theory: Bigfoot (Sasquatch, Yeti, the Abominable Snowman) is ranivorous and is breeding.
Word History: Today's relatively Good Word comes from a compound based on Latin rana "frog" + vorare "swallow whole, devour" + ous, an adjective suffix. Rana is a descendant of the PIE root *rek- "bellow", which is also behind Latin rancare "to bellow" and Russian rech' "speech". Latin vorare apparently devolved from a PIE root like *gwor- with an initial [g] that got lost in Latin and Greek, where we find bi-brôskô "to devour". In Sanskrit, however, we find the [r] in girati "s/he gobbles" but with an initial [g], which could have produced, by natural rules, the [zh] in Russian zhreti "devour, gobble".

Which reminds me of when my aunt introduced me to the world of ranivorousness. I had no clue what I was eating until I asked her and she simply said "Frog's legs". She hadn't disclosed that information before because she knew I would have refrained from eating anything that "gross". Once or twice a year, we have rabbit but my little cousins still don't know what they're eating. My aunt thinks they would burst out crying if they knew we were eating a harmless and cute bunny.

Which articles did Globe readers pore over most? A look at the top five most read News articles of 2012
1. How arrogance and mistakes led to Shafia's murder conviction
The Shafia "honour killings" trial gripped Canadians and dominated the headlines, particularly when Mohammad Shafia, his wife and their son were found guilty on Jan. 29, 2012, of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of the three teenage Shafia girls and their father's first wife.
Globe reporter Timothy Appleby covered the trial, which heard how angry Mr. Shafia was over his daughters' dating life and how it caused him "shame."
Mr. Appleby's wrap-up of the case and portrait of the killers was the most read news story of the year.

2. Rethinking immigration: The case for the 400,000 solution
Rarely does an interactive feature garner as much attention as the Our Time to Lead: Immigration interactive did in May.
The scrolling interactive attempted to inform and engage readers with a simple argument: Why Canada needs 400,000 immigrants.
It delved into the challenges of immigration and possible fixes, related stories from Canadian immigrants and innovators and gave readers a chance to share their own immigration stories.

3. Karla Homolka lives in Guadeloupe and has three children, new book reveals
News in June that Karla Homolka, the notorious ex-convict who served 12 years in prison for her role in the sex killings of three teenage girls, now had children of her own sparked outrage and disbelief.
The author who tracked down the ex-wife of killer Paul Bernardo also discovered she was now married to her lawyer's brother and had assumed a new name.
While the story's popularity confirms people's curiosity over what happened to Ms. Homolka after her release from prison, many readers expressed their disdain for the attention she was getting.

4. Peter MacKay weds rights activist, former beauty queen
When "Canada's sexiest male MP" Peter MacKay tied the knot over the holidays with Nazanin Afshin-Jam, the founder of a human rights group and a former Miss World Canada, readers lapped up the news and photos of the couple.
The Defense Minister, of course, is no stranger to having details of his relationships splashed in the media.
He had been known for a series of highly publicized romances, including with former MP and former Magna CEO Belinda Stronach, and a previous engagement with Jana Juginovic, a CTV News executive.

5. Meet the Canadian billionaire who's giving it all away
"There's really only so much that you need, or your family needs." So says Jeffrey Skoll, who made his fortune wtih eBay, and has since put it to good use.
Financing everything from water pumps that help African farmers to arts-education centres for at-risk American kids, Mr. Skoll expects 95 per cent of his wealth to go to such causes.
The Globe published his story in May, when he was the only Canadian to sign The Giving Pledge, a call for the superrich to stop hoarding their wealth. Perhaps inspired by Mr. Skoll, that has now changed.
