Mexican soldiers on Friday arrested a suspected drug trafficker named Melvin Gutiérrez Quiroz who for years has been associated with the Arellano Félix organization and San Diego's Barrio Logan gang, law enforcement sources said.
There was no official announcement of the detention, which took place Friday morning in Tijuana's well-to-do Colonia Juárez neighborhood, according to U.S. and Mexican officials. Both spoke on condition of condition of anonymity because they were not authorized by their agencies to talk about the detention.
The only sign of a significant arrest on Friday evening was the heavy military presence outside the federal attorney general's office in the city's Río Zone.
Gutiérrez was one of 10 men listed in a 2009 DEA poster identifying a new generation of drug traffickers headed by Fernando Sánchez Arellano, a nephew of the Arellano Félix brothers, who are now dead or behind bars.
A top Baja California law enforcement official would not confirm the arrest when questioned by reporters Friday. Abel Galván Gallardo, deputy attorney general for organized crime, said that Gutiérrez came from Barrio Logan and had worked closely with the Arellano Félix group's former leaders.
"He's a big fish," the U.S. official said of Gutiérrez. The official said Gutiérrez is a U.S. citizen who goes by the nickname "Casper" because of his light complexion. Gutiérrez first became linked with the Arellanos in the early 1990s, the official said. Gutiérrez served three years in prison from 1994 to 1997, then fled to Mexico and is currently wanted in the United States on a parole violation, the U.S. official said.

Denair, CA – An animal rights group video showing farm animal abuse, posted to YouTube has sparked outrage from farmers seeking to defend their industry. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), a number of farmers are utilizing social media such as Facebook and Twitter to counter accusations by animal rights groups, and say abusive practices are not representative of their industry.
Ray Prock Jr., a second-generation Central California dairy farmer, who blogs and tweets about his field of work, is quoted by the AP as stating of the motivation for turning to social media to relay messages, "There is so much negative publicity out there, and no one was getting our message out."
Prock is further quoted as stating in a blog post, "Every other farmer I know who cares for animals has at one time or another put those animals' well being ahead of their own or their families' time or needs."

Helping Black Men Succeed as Students Is Focus of Community-College Meeting
San Francisco
Marilyn L. Riley is still haunted by a teenager named Dante, who came reluctantly and angrily to her summer program for black men and ended up nearly walking away with five credits from Mesa Community College, in Arizona.
The first few days, he slouched in his chair and glared at his instructor, his cap sideways, his pants sagging.
"Sweetie, in my world, this isn't going to work," the petite adjunct professor and clinical psychologist, who is also black, told him. "You've got all this leadership potential, but no one's going to relate to you when you're looking like a thug."
By the end of the summer session, she said, he was sitting up straight in his chair, was demonstrating critical-thinking skills, and was within striking distance of earning five college credits. But before that could happen, his mother packed up and moved the family to New Mexico, and he had to withdraw.
Ms. Riley told that story here on Tuesday at the annual meeting of the American Association of Community Colleges, in one of several sessions devoted to the challenges of recruiting and retaining black men.
Thirty-nine percent of black men earn a credential or transfer within six years of enrolling at a community college, according to the U.S. Department of Education. That compares with 45 percent of all students.
The program Ms. Riley helps run, "Students Striving for Excellent Performance," is offered by Mesa Community College, the largest of 10 community colleges in the Maricopa County Community College District.
Karen Hardin, chair of the counseling department at Mesa, said a key to the program's success is selecting faculty members who not only are content experts but also are "approachable and have a passion for what they're doing."
'Fear and Anxiety'
Last summer 28 high-school students completed the five-week program. Since its start, in 2008, 99 students have earned a total of 374 college credits through the program, and about half have gone on to enroll at Mesa after graduating from high school.
To help familiarize students with support services like advising and tutoring, groups of students are sent off with a list of a half-dozen offices with instructions to interview someone there and report back to the class. "It takes away the fear and anxiety of the unknown and gets students used to talking to adults face to face, not just by texting or Facebooking," said Ms. Riley.
Students take two required courses during the summer, each of which earns them three college credits. One covers basic college-success skills, like time management and study techniques.
The other—"African-American Pride and Awareness"—delves into students' cultural roots, prejudices, and feelings about how they fit in to society. "We want them to feel that they belong here and that they can control their own destiny," Ms. Hardin said. Instead of dwelling on the poverty or fractured family that may be working against them, "we want to empower them to rise above it."
Handing out brochures at track meets and speaking to church groups, the program's tiny staff recruits students and their families, and interviews them together to get a sense of family dynamics. Advising and teaching is tailored to the needs of each student, and successful graduates are brought in as peer mentors.
One such mentor resisted joining but is now pursuing a doctoral degree at Arizona State University. "His friends are all back where he left them, out on the street, doing drugs, having babies," said Ms. Riley. "We can preach it all day long, but when they hear it from their peers, they get it."
'Reluctant to Ask for Help'
Finding ways to help black men succeed in college was a theme of several sessions at the annual conference.
In a session on Monday, J. Luke Wood, an assistant professor of administration, rehabilitation, and postsecondary education at San Diego State University, described his research on black male students in community colleges.
He visits community colleges to administer surveys and advise them on strategies for recruiting and retaining minority men.
Mr. Wood said that faculty members tend to pay more attention to students who speak up in class and that many black men, in particular, lack the confidence to do so. In addition, "a lot of men are reluctant to ask for help because it makes them look weak," he said. "You have to be proactive in establishing relationships with these men."
The community colleges' association lists 77 minority-male success programs on its Web site, but Mr. Wood estimates that there are probably 70 more that aren't listed.
During one presentation, LaTonya Jones, a student adviser at Houston Community College, described intervention strategies it is using, including community-service and bonding activities for black men to help them feel connected to the college and to one another. On Chivalry Day, for instance, participants in the Men of Honor program, which offers tutoring to local schoolchildren, wear their club shirts and ties and pass out carnations to women.
Ms. Jones is working on a proposal to offer college classes geared specifically to the needs of black men, to help ensure that they make it through the first year. An economics class, for instance, might cover financial planning for black men, while a history or English class would encompass black history and literature.
"If we can get them through the core," she said, "they'll graduate."

Harold L. Sirkin: Recession Lessons: Read, React, WinHarold L. Sirkin
Journalists and economists will be writing the story of the Great Recession for decades to come. One of the most important stories, which we can start writing today, involves the lessons we can learn about managing through a severe downturn. These lessons should be studied in B-schools and boardrooms everywhere, because recessions are inevitable. Whether executives need to apply the lessons as early as next year—due to a dreaded double-dip, or W-shaped downturn—or during some future cyclical recession is not important. What is important is that they understand that business as usual won't do and that simple cost-cutting and belt tightening are not the way to achieve a competitive advantage. Some companies realized this early on. They behaved very differently during this recession than in previous downturns and are achieving promising results. They knew they had built up a layer of fat during the prior seven years—and knew they could use the recession to get down to fighting weight. But most important, they asked themselves fundamental questions: "What if our sales drop by 25% or even 40%? How do we prepare ourselves for the unthinkable?" As they started answering these questions, they got scared. They realized their companies, no matter how strong, were ill-prepared to weather an economic storm of this magnitude. The good ones quickly recognized that if things got very bad and they did not act quickly, they might run out of cash and not have the access to capital when needed. Cash (not debt) would once again be king. Future ReturnsThe good ones also knew that now was the time to invest in their futures because the returns would be at an all-time high. They needed to focus investments in customers and customer service, in getting lean and making their operations more effective, in drawing down inventories and managing capital more effectively, in restructuring their manufacturing and distribution assets, in new-product development, and in identifying areas in which they might want to make acquisitions so when prices fell or companies got distressed, they could do the deals fast. A few forward-thinking companies hadn't waited until December 2008 (when the National Bureau of Economic Research finally confirmed that a recession had begun in December 2007). They decided six to nine months earlier that the recession was real and reacted quickly and decisively. Consider the example of Milwaukee-based Brady Corp. (BRC). With about $1.2 billion in sales and operations in 26 countries, Brady is an international manufacturer and marketer of complete solutions that identify and protect premises, products, and people. Its products include high-performance labels and signs, safety devices, printing systems and software, and precision die-cut materials (primarily for mobile phones and hard-disk drives). About 40% of the company's revenues come from the U.S., 35% from Europe, and 25% from Asia. With a reported 500,000 customers worldwide, Brady has been very successful, outperforming the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index by a factor of two during the past 25 years and the Russell 2000 by a factor of three. (Disclosure: Brady is a client of my employer, the Boston Consulting Group.) Anticipating the WorstIn mid-2008, Brady, like other companies, began to see signs of a recession. Unlike many companies, whose management teams talked themselves into a "wait-and-see" attitude, Brady wasted little time. After a sleepless night, Chief Financial Officer Tom Felmer presented scenarios for sales declines of 10% and a once-unthinkable 25% to the Brady executive team. The projected impact of such declines on the company's profit, cash flow, and debt covenants was severe. Everyone in the room knew that Brady wasn't ready for such a dramatic deterioration of business conditions and that the company would be in serious trouble if it didn't act. They also realized that "doing something" would create an opportunity to clean up inefficiencies that had developed during the past six high-growth years.After letting his executives digest these doomsday scenarios for a couple of days, Frank Jaehnert, Brady's CEO, called together his executive team to talk about how to respond to the threat. He made it clear there wouldn't be a debate whether to do something or to do nothing and wait how things might unfold; this would be a discussion about how much to do (how deep to cut). Jaehnert challenged his colleagues to think boldly. Fortunately, the majority of his team had been together for many years and most remembered the 2001-2002 recession well. Brady hadn't reacted quickly, and it suffered through that recession. It was determined to react swiftly this time. Tricky TimingThe management team all knew there was tremendous risk in not acting but little risk in action. Better to move aggressively and later pull back some if necessary than to do too little, they decided. They had only one problem: Brady was just about to report record earnings and growth. How could they possibly announce layoffs and cutbacks in the same press release and earnings call that would be touting success? And there were no other industrial manufacturers signaling weakness in sales or a restructuring. Brady, because of its off-cycle calendar year, would be one of the first industrial companies breaking bad news. Investors and employees alike would be taken by surprise. Jaehnert and Felmer called for a special session with the board to present their projections and debate pros and cons of their recession plan—a focus on reducing costs and capacity to meet the new realities that Brady would be facing combined with an approach that would allow the company to take advantage of the opportunities that the recession would create, including new acquisition possibilities and investments in capabilities. After a diligent assessment, the board agreed and encouraged management to proceed with the bold move. First, they would act quickly before things got worse. Second, they would not just reduce payroll, as many companies do during downturns. They would move broadly in a number of different ways that would strengthen the company—using some of their savings to invest in the future. Companywide SavingsThe plan was thorough and deep. To conserve cash and prevent the accumulation of obsolete products that later would be difficult to sell, they decided to reduce inventories. They would halt acquisitions and planned investments in new plants and equipment. They reduced discretionary spending and imposed a companywide salary freeze and canceled all bonuses including their own. They found ways to squeeze more capacity out of existing operations and negotiated price concessions with their vendors. And, yes, they reduced their global workforce, cutting 10% during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 (October through December 2008) and eventually reducing staff by a total of 25% (including contract labor). They also decided to restructure or shut down low-performing operations. But they also planned to invest: accelerating a long overdue "lean" program that would help them improve productivity and plant responsiveness. They would push forward with the development of new products that customers would need when business picked up and prepare research and perform initial due diligence on acquisition opportunities and potential new markets that could boost growth when the global economy recovered. CEO Jaehnert was convinced that committing to major investments in the middle of a recession would not only provide Brady with a competitive advantage but also keep the employees focused on the future instead of the negative aspects of the recession, i.e. reduction in force, salary freezes, etc. Avoiding Doom and GloomAs he was making these decisions, he told me: "You cannot motivate your employees if all you talk about and do is reduce costs and close facilities. You have to provide a vision for the future and demonstrate it with investments. That way, you shift the focus and the minds of employees from doom and gloom to how great the company will be." In spite of a major decline in sales and big investments for the future, the company's financials were still respectable, especially compared with what could have been if not for the quick and bold actions of the management team in the first two months. Jaehnert summarized Brady's activities in a statement accompanying the company's Fiscal Year 2009 Year-End Financial Report (issued in September). The CEO said the company's worst fears were realized. "After a strong first quarter," he said, "the global economic downturn caused a 27% drop in our sales over the balance of the year." Despite this, the company earned $90 million in net income excluding restructuring charges and generated $127 million in cash flow from operations. They were able to do this because they anticipated what was happening, organized their response, and executed. While many different lessons will be drawn from the Great Recession, three clear ones come from the Brady experience: 1) During challenging times, you need to prepare for the worst, not a rosy outcome. Measures to control costs should be implemented quickly and cuts should be deep. Waiting is precisely the wrong thing to do. There's never a bad time to trim fat. If you cut some muscle in the process, you can build it back up later. 2) Use the opportunity to do all the difficult things you know you should do but have avoided in the past because business was good. Cut underperforming people and operations. Reduce payroll costs. Reduce inventories. Halt expansion plans. Conserve cash. To show your employees the pain is being shared, freeze executive salaries and eliminate bonuses. Employees are far more receptive to tough medicine in tough times if they know the pain is being felt at the top, too. You need to lead by example. 3) Re-invest to win in the upswing. Managing to win during a recession is not just a matter of circling the wagons. There is also an offensive component—seeking possible merger-and-acquisition opportunities, keeping your eyes open for newly available top talent, stepping up product development and research-and-development activities. The important thing is to take control. To the greatest degree possible, the recession shouldn't dictate what you do. You need to anticipate. Have your own agenda and execute. As difficult as Great Recession has been, it will be easy to forget when the economy fully recovers. That will be the biggest mistake of all: forgetting. The lessons you learn from this recession can create an advantage for you in the next. As the saying goes, those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it.

Senator Serrano Sponsors Important "Know Your Rights" Housing Court Community Forum
(Bronx, NY) - Senator Serrano sponsored an important "Know Your Rights" Housing Court Community Forum in the Bronx. The forum included a presentation by a panel of housing experts: CASA/New Settlement, Housing Court Answers and the Urban Justice Center. These experts informed constituents on how to manage housing court issues. The Legal Aid Society also participated in the event, providing free legal advice to constituents. Attendees engaged in at Q&A session at the end of the event.
"Navigating the Housing Court system can be extremely confusing for tenants who do not have legal representation," said Senator Serrano. "This is why I feel it is important to inform my constituents about their legal rights when facing any type of housing court issue, from landlord harassment to eviction.
"Many of my constituents are at a disadvantage because they are unable to afford legal representation, which makes it difficult to have a level playing field. I want to thank all the housing experts who participated in this event for their work in helping to make housing court a more just place for the tenants in our community," concluded Serrano.
Senator Serrano is a staunch advocate of affordable housing and is the sponsor of a number of bills to help protect tenants- including S1040 to eliminate the ability of landlords to obtain a twenty percent increase in rent upon the vacancy of a rent-controlled apartment and S5597, which requires any NYCHA owned property to obtain community input through New York City's Uniform land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) before NYCHA can sell, lease, or otherwise depose of any land.

Lil Wayne, Eminem 'Rebirth' Collaboration Leaks, Amazon to Blame?
Lil Wayne's 'Rebirth' album seemed like it might have been buried for a minute. After suffering numerous delays and missed deadlines, the rock-inspired record was given a Dec. 15 release date, only to be pushed back again to February of 2010 due to the Weezy's legal problems and impending jail stint. However, it seems that someone at Amazon.com didn't get that last memo and prematurely mailed pre-orders of the album on its original release date.
The apparent mix up was traced back to the online retailer when the surprise Wayne and Eminem collaboration 'Drop The World' leaked this morning. The track opens with Wayne employing his usual laidback singsong persona to icy synthesizer touches. "I got ice in my veins/ Blood in my eyes/ Hate in my heart/ Love in my mind," Wayne raps. Then everything sort of explodes with that overblown radio sound we've heard on other leaked 'Rebirth' tracks, namely 'Da Da Da' and the Giorgio Moroder-sampling 'On Fire.'
Thus far, Eminem's famed 'Renegade' collaboration with Jay-Z has frequently come up in the online discussion of the new 'Rebirth' track. On that head-to-head, Eminem stole the show and somehow one-upped the King. Lyrically, emotionally and flow-wise, he does the same to Wayne on 'Drop The World.' "It hurts, but I'll never show this pain, you'll never know," Em raps. "If only you could see just how lonely and how cold/ And frostbit I've become, my back's against the wall/ When push come to shove, I just stand up and scream 'F— 'em all.'"
Nonetheless, it's a positive development that Wayne finally got his wish for a big collaboration with Slim Shady. Before today, there was no indication that 'Rebirth' was really going to come out, but there's really no way they are going to let such an epic track wallow away on a locked drive somewhere and Amazon seems to want it off its shelves.

Hey Guys. Having a bit of a problem since a couple of days. I upgraded my hardware recently and started getting the above stated BSoD. My previous build was a q6600 with 4Gb ram and radeon 6950. Recently upgraded to i7 3770K with 16GB and an SSD. Every time i run BFBC2 it BSoD's after a while of gaming. Have to test to see if it happens with other games. I am trying to isolate the problem and heres what i know/did.
a. I know that 0x124 is a hardware error.
b. Ran Memcheck and Windows memory diagnostic and no errors there.
c. Stress tested CPU using Prime 95 for 4+ hours and it never breached 72C. Besides i havent even OC'd yet and have a tower cooler.
d. Have to stress test the GPU yet (Will do it in the evening). But its the same GPU from my previous build and i already stress tested it with furmark back then. Was fine.
e. Have to test the SSD. Could an SSD problem create that error and if yes, what software should i use for stress testing the SSD.
I shall try to post the dump file in the evening after i get home. But it in the meantime, any suggestions? Anyone have similar problems?
My system is as follows:
i7 3770K default clock.
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
16 GB G Skill ares RAM at 1.5V
Radeon 6950 (Unlocked all shaders but have done that a long while back, so it might not be the issue)
Samsung 830 256GB SSD.(Connected to SATA 0 and SATA type set to AHCI)
3 HDD's
1 DVD Drive
750W Antec Power supply with approx 720W on 12V)
Appreciate all the help that follows. Thx

As Matthias Görgens mentioned earlier 1. One have to reinvent control structures. Multiple times. Lets assume that compiler would translate DSL to haskell code. But DSL's expressions which convert into haskell control structures are DSL's control structures. 2. There would be more than one DSL. If they are all EDSL there is no real problems with combining them in one program if necessity arises. Probably there would be ways to combine them if they are DSL but they will require expertise and most likely dirty hacks. 2.1 And all of them will have different conrol structures, abstraction mechanisms. 3. Turing tarpit. Users will constantly require more power and features in DSL. Most likely DSL designers wouldn't be great language designers so DSL will turn into utter mess. 4. One have all power (and libraries of host languages). Of course if he is able to utilize it. This is tradeoff between power and simplicity. If one have too much simplicity he is not able to solve difficult problems. If one have too much power at expense of simplicity he has to struggle with tool to have thing done. And it's possible to sacrifice simplicity and don't gain any power.

Passive Dividend-Weighted Approach to Small Caps Establishes Strength in Low Interest Rate Environment Fund Launched in Company's Original Core Equity ETF Suite in June 2006 NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WisdomTree (Nasdaq:WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") sponsor and asset manager, today announced the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund (DES) recently surpassed $1 billion in assets. DES is designed to track the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Index (WTSDI), a fundamentally weighted index that measures the performance of the small-capitalization segment of the U.S. dividend-paying market. Luciano Siracusano, WisdomTree Chief Investment Strategist, commented, "By weighting the U.S., small cap market by the dividends companies pay, WisdomTree has been able to create a potential source of income for investors looking for alternatives in today's low-interest rate environment." A Disciplined Focus on Relative Value Market capitalization-weighted indexes typically have no mechanism to reduce weight in stocks with extended valuations, potentially building risk in an index. One solution could be to look for small cap indexes that rebalance annually back to a measure of relative value, such as cash dividends. The underlying WisdomTree Index for DES measures the performance of the small-capitalization segment of the US dividend-paying market, and includes more than 600 companies with a combined market capitalization of more than $600 billion. The Index selects stocks from a universe of approximately 1,300 dividend-paying securities based on their market capitalization, and then weights each constituent annually to reflect the proportionate share of the aggregate cash dividends each component company pays to shareholders, based on its most recently declared dividend per share. "There are a variety of dividend focused funds and investment strategies, but we believe DES provides the broadest exposure to the small cap segment of the U.S. dividend-paying market. For investors looking for potential dividend income in a portfolio, we believe DES could serve as a core exposure to the U.S. small cap asset class," Siracusano added.

Meryl Streep movie and remember thinking the name was so pretty! I didn't realize the association was so strong. Nobody here in the US would get it. As a side note, I heard physical evidence finally exonerated the mother, which I was glad to hear. What a nightmare for that family. Not to mention for that poor baby!
In other news, the thought of Nolan going to the girls is just as ridiculous as Logan crossing over. Nolan was my grandfather's name, now one of my brother's middles. It's also the first name of legendary Texas Rangers (baseball) pitcher Nolan Ryan. A name could not be more masculine if it tried. There are a bazillion girls names in the world, let's let the guys keep some!Mrs. H.

Introducing the H&R Block Community
February 12, 2013 : Jerry Green - Community Manager
Real life has real tax implications. Not just during tax season, but every day of every month, all year long. You get that. That's why you read this blog.
As you approach each of the major life milestones and learn about the tax implications and financial impact of things like buying your first home, getting married, having children and heading into retirement, where do you go to share the experiences you've had? Where can you ask for help from professionals who know the ins & outs, or seek guidance from peers who have been through the same situations themselves?
We know just the place: The new H&R Block Community.
We've launched a forum to facilitate the conversation about taxes and money as they relate to you and your life. The community is a place to share your wisdom, ask and answer questions and learn from the experiences of people just like you — from the major life events to the everyday situations with tax implications that may surprise you.
We understand most people don't spend time studying the tax code. That's why, in addition to hearing from people who have been in your shoes, tax pros from H&R Block will be in the community to participate in the discussion and guide you, whether you need help understanding the impact of new laws and policies or want to know how the everyday changes in your life may change your tax filing situation.
Since we launched the community this tax season, we've seen some great discussions developing. We're seeing new members browsing around and getting their feet wet, and the response from our charter members and early participants has been overwhelmingly positive. Clients have told us that the community has given them some new perspectives on issues they hadn't previously considered closely, and we hope it can do the same for you.
This is a long-term initiative, and we'll continue to add unique content to keep the community relevant year-round, because even though tax season is short, life continues – and, of course, so do the tax implications.
As the community continues to grow, we'd love to have you join the conversation. Head over to the community and check it out.

I have an op-ed today in the Australian Financial Review on the bureaucracy's decision to keep details of how the government doles money to multinational car companies secret. The decision comes off the back of Freedom of Information requests from the AFR. I argue:
Every taxpayer dollar that enlarges the revenue and profits of a corporate welfare recipient needs to be justified. And with Holden collecting subsidies valued at $89.7 million last financial year, a figure that perfectly mirrors its profit, there are serious questions to be asked about subsidy levels.
While the local car industry has done a very good job of extracting unearned profits from the hip pockets of taxpayers, it is important to understand the principle is not just about the car industry:
The same principle applies to all industries that enjoy government support. As the Productivity Commission's 2011-12 Trade and Assistance Review outlines, total government assistance to industry is estimated at $17.7 billion. The beneficiaries ranged from renewable energy to food manufacturing.
But there is something special about the changing nature of subsidies to the car industry:
Throughout the Rudd and Gillard governments, the objective of these subsidies has changed from assistance to wean companies off tariffs to "co-investment" … Co-investment is about achieving a public interest through private companies, in effect making taxpayers pseudo-shareholders in these companies and their future.
And there is an even more important question that goes to the integrity of political decision making:
The same car companies that receive subsidies with public money are concurrently striking very generous deals with ALP-affiliated unions for their members.
When taxpayer's money is shoveled into car companies at one end by the government and the car companies then shovel it out the other end under generous agreements with affiliated unions to the party that governs the country, there are serious questions to answer. The AFR should be commended for doggedly pursuing the doling out of corporate welfare to a declining industry that holds the Australian taxpayer in contempt.

If you have a Facebook page, you're likely to have seen some pretty racy pictures posted from time to time and have wondered why some people expose themselves the way they do on this Social Networking platform.
On the other hand you may feel like it's very appropriate because you're proud os your physique and want to flaunt it … and whoever doesn't like, doesn't have to look …and shouldn't even have an opinion.
Well, I'm asking your opinion. Based on the picture posted with this blog; do you agree that being half clothed and sexy makes you more popular on FB or does it make you look foolish? You more than likely get tons of friend requests when you post sexy pix… but are the people who befriend you truly your friends.
Would or do "Real Friends" encourage others to post sexy pictures or do "Real Friends" tell their friend to chill out?
Comment below and tell us what you think!

If the size of the index files is your main concern, the easiest way to handle that is to add new index files in the existing directory, as I've done in Critmail (yearly and monthly index file options, which I hope I can get into Hypermail before too long). There are still some performance reasons to want to break up large directories, but I suspect it will be a while before anyone implements a clean way to do that.

[8 September 2006]
Not exactly the coffeehouse folk of some female singer-songwriters, Rebecca Hart has some funky styles to showcase on the opening "The Vibe", which brings to mind a cross between Michelle Shocked and Tracy Chapman. It's a rootsy pop feel that is quite decent, but some songs are too formulaic or blah, especially the lighter, mid-tempo adult contemporary ditty "Dawn". What is promising, though, is the slower, somewhat soulful "Planets" that opens with talking about cars being named after planets. Hart likes her folksy moody pop, particularly on the sparse, murky title track, which evolves into a big, rousing, Etheridge-lite rocker. And it's this little kickstart that makes the ensuing "Wishing Hour" gel much quicker. The sleeper pick has to be the mellow "Last Dance", which sounds like a cross between Jewel and k.d. lang. Another little nugget is the soft and dub-flavored "Out of Me" that brings to mind Natalie Merchant. The record ends with another uplifting pop rock number entitled "Big Fire" that has a lot of fire in its belly.

Feeding Wild Birds
At the Nature Center, we maintain a suite of bird feeders all year round. Feeding songbirds in your backyard can be a year-round activity, but most people, including beginners, maintain bird feeders only during the colder months of the year. Winter is an ideal time to attract birds to your backyard since many natural sources of food such as insects and fruit are in short supply or non-existent. Additionally, songbirds that have not migrated to warmer climes shift their dietary preferences to include a variety of seeds including those commonly offered in a bird feeder.
Resident birds such as chickadees, titmice and woodpeckers start to seek out winter feeding areas as early as September. Maintaining a bird feeder before the cold weather of winter arrives ensures the best chance of attracting birds; however, new feeders can be established with great success at any time during winter and early spring. The key to any new bird feeder is patience. It may take a while for birds in your area to recognize the new food source available to them.
Beginning bird feeding enthusiasts are advised to start small – one feeder, one food. Most songbirds prefer black-oil sunflower seeds offered in a tube or hopper-style bird feeder. The seed and both feeder styles are readily available from retail stores. A bird feeder should be placed where it is easily observable from a window in your home. It should also be located approximately 10 feet from any trees or shrubs to allow the birds quick access to safety from predators, as well as inhibiting the ability of a squirrel to leap onto your feeder from surrounding vegetation. A squirrel baffle may also be needed to thwart squirrels that climb onto your feeder.
Once you've established a regular crowd at your feeder, you might consider offering another type of bird feeder or food. Simple additions to your new feeding station may include a different feeder offering the same black oil sunflower seeds, suet cakes offered in a suet cage, or a thistle feeder and seed to attract finches. A heated bird bath is also very appealing to birds that may spend a lot of energy looking for unfrozen water during the winter. Finally, keep the health and safety of your birds in mind by cleaning feeders and bird baths periodically with a 10% bleach solution.
Bird feeding can be a fun and rewarding endeavor. Share the experience by including others and watching the birds together.
Stop in the Bird Observatory inside the Nature Center's Visitors Center to learn more about bird feeding and enjoy the flurry of bird activity at our bird feeders.

Northland Nature...Early October is definitely sparrow time
Early October is an amazing time in the Northland. Most of us are struck by the scene of leaf color noted every day. For the passerby, it is hard to not see this arboreal magic.
Reds of red maple, red Oak, dogwood, sumac, cherry and Virginia creeper (a vine that frequently covers fences, roadsides and walls, but it takes the bright red colors at this time for us to see how common it is) mix with yellows of birch, basswood, sugar maple, elm, ash and aspen to give us photogenic opportunities in most woods.
This is quite an encore given by the trees that stood with green colors for the last five months. Soon this show will be over and with the winds and rains of October, the leaves come down. Some trees, including the tamaracks of the swamps, will still be giving a dazzling display later in the month.
With all this color for early October, I find another equally inviting sight here too, albeit much more drab -- the movement of sparrows.
To many people, sparrows are little brown birds that all look alike, hard to tell apart. And to some, the word "sparrow" is associated with the non-native house or English sparrows that were brought to this country in the 1850s and now reside in cities all over the United States.
The Northland does have a very rich diversity of native sparrows and in early October an observant searcher could find five to 10 kinds on any given day. With the exception of the gray junco, all indeed are little brown birds.
But a closer look reveals they don't all look alike. Maybe the easiest to see now is the white-throated sparrows. They live up this name by having a white throat patch, but also carry white stripes on top of the head; often some have it adorned with yellow.
Not only is the white on the head easy to see, but their flocks readily come to our yards and feeders. Each day lately, I have been watching a group feeding in the lawn as they pass by on their south-bound trek.
Among them sometimes are others. Juncos frequently are here too and in the flock may be another with white on the head, the white-crowned sparrow, with no white throat patch.
Others sparrows that still might be in the region are the chipping sparrows, the same ones that may have nested in the yard. These sparrows have a reddish-brown crown on their heads with no white and no spots on the belly.
A visitor from the far north looking much like the chipping sparrow is the tree sparrow. This northerner has a similar crown, but carries a black chest spot.
While many migrant sparrows will flock, not all do. In the wetlands is the well-named swamp sparrow, also without streaks on the underside.
And in the woods' edge, I'll often see a Lincoln Sparrow, a bird that does have streaks on the sides. This sparrow, usually a loner, can be hard to tell from the Savannah sparrow of the fields or the song sparrows often among the shrubs of the yard. These latter two sparrows are spotted on the undersides.
Regularly in October, we get visits from flocks of sparrows that look like large song sparrows, but with a plumage of a reddish-brown: the fox sparrows. They usually stay in the woods (though I have had some come to the ground beneath the bird feeder in the yard), where they scratch and dig through the leaves for soil meals.
These fox sparrows are always a delight to see; often it is the scratching among the leaves of the forest floor that gives away their presence. Fox sparrow flocks tend to stay only a week or two before moving on further south.
Several of these sparrows -- the chipping, song, Savannah, swamp and white-throated -- have nested in the north country and for the last few weeks they have been preparing to leave for a trip to warmer sites.
Others, like the fox, white-crowned, Lincoln, tree sparrows and junco, breed further to the north and we see them as they pause on their migration route.
Occasionally, a few such as the white-throated, tree sparrows and junco may winter with us, but most do not.
A couple of sparrow relatives, the Lapland longspurs and snow buntings, will soon show up here too. They are ground birds and are more likely to be seen along roadsides and fields than feeders and yards. Traveling in flocks, some of which winter here, they are quite easy to see.
The warbler migration of September is nearly all passed, but sparrows take their place. There is plenty of bird life to see among the colorful leaves of the forests in early October.
With some patience, a pair of binoculars and maybe a reference bird book, we can get to know the sparrows that add more to these delightful days of autumn in the Northland.

ShapingNJ Welcomes New Partners
The Office of Nutrition & Fitness Awarded 17 Leaders' Academy Healthy Community Development Mini Grants. The Healthy Community Development Mini Grants funded projects to prevent obesity and other associated chronic diseases by focusing on policy and environmental changes to make healthy choices easier for New Jersey residents. These projects will help to create environments where healthy eating and physical activity opportunities are available, affordable, culturally appropriate and easy. For a list of grantee's and their projects click here.
On July 15th the Office of Nutrition & Fitness had the opportunity to address approximately 20 local funders at a meeting of the Council of New Jersey Grantmakers at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. We provided a background and overview of the ShapingNJ partnership and our work, including the 23 obesity prevention strategies developed for implementation to members of the council's "Strong and Thriving Communities" affiliate group. The information was well received, and generated a lot of interest.
On July 28th, The New Jersey Health Officers Association (NJHOA) -- a ShapingNJ partner -convened a training workshop for local health officers and other community representatives to introduce the partnership and the ShapingNJ community strategies. Those who attended the training workshop are eligible to apply for a $15,000 mini-grant and receive a tailored package of technical assistance to implement an environmental or policy change in their community to increase residents' access to healthy food and beverages and opportunities to be physically active. The meeting was hosted by the New Jersey Alliance of the YMCA- also a ShapingNJ partner, at the Raritan Bay YMCA in Perth Amboy.

A suicide bomber has blown himself up in the northern Mali city of Timbuktu.
A Malian soldier was injured in the Saturday attack on an army barricade, Timbuktu's second in nine days.
"A jihadist suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt after trying unsuccessfully to force his way through the barricade at the west entrance to Timbuktu, which was guarded by Malian soldiers," an army officer told Agence France-Pressed by phone.
The attack occurred around 10 p.m. local time. The bomber was killed in the blast.
Timbuktu resident Age Djitteye said he heard a loud explosion and heavy gunfire starting at 10 p.m. He said the shooting had stopped by midnight.
Earlier on the same day, a land mine exploded, killing two Malian soldiers in the Gao region, east of Timbuktu.
More from GlobalPost: Mali: Timbuktu manuscripts not gone forever after all
No one has claimed responsibility for either attack.
Until this January, Timbuktu had been under a 10-month al Qaeda affiliate's rule. French forces liberated it on Jan. 28.
France is now preparing to withdraw its 4000 troops still in Mali. The first of four Malian battalions will begin training with European instructors on April 2 as part of an effort to improve the country's army as quickly as possible.

(LAS VEGAS) — A Britney Spears residency in Las Vegas is moving ever closer to reality. E! Online reports that a deal that would see the singer performing at Planet Hollywood is "definitely happening."
A source tells E! News, "Everyone in her team wants it. They think it will be the best thing for her to happen soon" and "are pushing hard for it to happen soon."
Another source, meanwhile, tells E! that once the deal is done, Britney won't have the same "intense schedule" that other Vegas headlining acts have. For one thing, she has no plans to move to Sin City, because she wants to keep her kids in Los Angeles. "It's going to be an in and out thing…a limited number of engagements over a year," dishes the source.
Apparently, the Vegas talks have been going on "for a long time," but were put on hold while Britney was a judge on X Factor. Now, says the source, "Everything has sped up again."
If the deal with Planet Hollywood goes through, Britney won't be the only singing star with reality show judging experience with a residency at the hotel and casino. Cee Lo Green's show, Cee Lo Is Loberace, debuts there Feb. 27.
