A team of students from the Net Impact Chapter at CU Boulder was selected by a panel of expert judges to win the 2nd annual Liquidnet Markets for Good Challenge. Their "Needmap" idea – which provides donors with a real-time view of human needs, highlighting high-performing organizations solving them – won the team $7,500. Additionally, a $2,500 donation will be made in the team's honor to their designated nonprofit, Nyaya Health, a nonprofit that operates a hospital and mobile medical care services in Nepal.
"A thriving society requires a thriving social sector, and a thriving social sector depends on enough money going to truly high-performing nonprofits tackling the really tough challenges," commented Brian Walsh who oversees Liquidnet For Good, the company's corporate social engagement program. "By encouraging some of the best business school minds to help us identify innovative solutions to drive more money to more effective nonprofits, we hope that we can inspire broader impact."
Developed by Liquidnet, the global institutional trading network, in close collaboration with Net Impact, which helps people build careers that change the world, the Markets for Good Challenge seeks to find new ways of approaching charitable giving. Teams of graduate and undergraduate business students from across the country submitted ideas for how to increase giving by individual donors to truly high-performing nonprofits. After a preliminary round of judging, four teams were selected as Finalists and received mentoring from seasoned leaders in the nonprofit world.
The Challenge is part of Liquidnet's "Markets for Good" initiative, which applies Liquidnet's core competency of using technology to make markets more efficient, to address inefficiencies in the social sector. Liquidnet is collaborating with others to improve the system for generating, sharing, and acting upon data and information about impact in the social sector – to ultimately help unleash more money for good.
"For the second year in a row, Liquidnet's Markets for Good Challenge has inspired students to challenge conventional approaches to philanthropy," said Liz Maw, CEO of Net Impact. "The Boulder students' Needmap project represents the kind of creative thinking needed to better direct funds to where they'll make the most impact."
Second place went to a team from the Bainbridge Graduate Institute for their "Social Market Exchange" idea. They will receive $2,500 and the nonprofit of their designation, the Bainbridge Graduate Institute, will receive $1,000. "Give Social," an idea by Georgetown University graduate students, received third place and $1,000 plus a $500 donation to their charity of choice, Life Pieces To Masterpieces.

OUR OPINION: Finding 'best' candidates for higher ed board
Perhaps there was a time, years ago, when governors could make appointments to the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education based on patronage and party loyalty.
No longer. Today, choosing members for the higher ed board ranks among the governor's most important duties. That's because the higher education system has become such a big and important part of state government.
The system's growth has been justified, thanks to the labor force's ever-growing need for post-secondary education, as well as higher ed's vital role in fostering North Dakota's prosperity and quality of life.
Still, it makes for a daunting challenge for the "citizen soldiers" on the board. They must juggle complicated management tasks, multi-billion-dollar budgets and demands from vocal and powerful constituencies, while trying not to wilt under the klieg lights of media glare.
All of which means the governor should strive to appoint the best candidates. A seat on the higher ed board can't just be a reward for faithful service. It's an executive position. Its holder should be a proven leader, manager and achiever who can make a positive difference.
And for Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who has six candidates to choose from for two seats on the board, that's worth keeping uppermost in mind.
At this point in its history, the board especially needs members who'll assert the board's authority on behalf of the state. That means all of the state — not only the colleges and universities themselves, but also lawmakers and taxpayers, who have some reason to feel they've been kept too low on the board's priority list.
The best evidence of this can be found in the comments of Sen. Ray Holmberg, R-Grand Forks, over past few years. Holmberg has served in the Senate since 1977, and as befits a senator from the home of UND, he has been a great friend of higher education throughout.
But Holmberg's frustration with the board has been obvious in recent years. A turning point came in 2011, when lawmakers removed tuition caps they previously had imposed, thinking that the board could be trusted to limit tuition increases on its own.
A trust the board promptly eviscerated by letting North Dakota State University hike tuition by 8.8 percent.
"Disappointment is such a weak word," Holmberg said at the time.
And lest readers think this stemmed from a bias against NDSU, Holmberg's more recent and more serious concerns involve UND. The REAC building's story has been told and retold in the Herald. Today, it's enough to note that Holmberg remains frustrated with the board, as shown by his most recent proposal to force the universities to dedicate much of their state funding to instruction, not administration.
When the senior state senator from UND's home town starts drafting such bills, board members should take notice. Because to paraphrase something Dalrymple himself once said on another occasion, they're losing the confidence of people whose confidence they need.
Dalrymple travels the state widely, talks with many North Dakotans and keeps his ear to the ground. Here's hoping he has picked up on North Dakotans' simultaneous support for their universities, and their call for the board to more strongly oversee and economically manage the system — in short, to lead.

Developer: United Front Games / Publisher: Sony / Played on: PS3 / Price: $59.99 / ESRB: Everyone [Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief]
A platforming mascot getting a kart-racing spin-off is `been there, done that' in games, but handing development duties to United Front Games and having them combine LittleBigPlanet with the already established framework of ModNation Racers was a smart move by Sony and Media Molecule.
ModNation Racers was a surprisingly good entry into the kart-racing arena so dominated by Nintendo's happy-clappy mascot, and yet sadly it's also utterly forgettable. That said swapping those faceless and slightly maniacal-looking critters out with Sackboys worked out great for both parties.
Not only has it guaranteed a solid racing model for a Sackboy racer, it's also given United Front's already-solid karting game a more recognizable and much-loved universe in which to exist, and has allowed the developer to massively expand on its promising groundwork, with all the charm and endless creativity from Media Molecule's incredible platformers.
LBPK, I can safely say, is no cheaply made cash-in. Like the platformers on which it's based, this is an insanely feature-filled bag of creative, imaginative chaos. The best type of chaos.
LittleBigPlanet Karting drives exactly how you'd expect from a cartoony racer; it's simple handling and forgivable physics are welcoming to the greenest of players, while more complex techniques such as power sliding, weapon tactics and increasingly tricky shortcuts allow more advanced players something to sink their teeth into.
LBPK doesn't mess with the standard kart game formula: you tap R1 (or a button of your choice thanks to customizable controls) to hop, and to initiate a slide as you enter a turn. If you hold the slide long enough you get a boost upon exit. The longer you hold the slide, the greater the boost. There are weapons to grab and shoot, and there are shortcuts to find and explore.
If you've played ModNation Racers you'll be even more familiar with the wheel spinning at the start line, the general weight and feel of the power slides. LBPK is slower-paced in terms of raw kart speed, but the ModNation DNA is clearly evident.
As usual, you grab items (Weaponators) on course to get a random weapon to fire at enemies, including speed-boosting goodies, homing and non-homing rockets, mines and suchlike. A further strategy element is added by the ability to shoot incoming missiles down by shooting weapons backwards at the right time - sacrificing the opportunity to attack others but saving your bleep in the process.
The biggest difference, however, is in the addition of the grappling mechanic lifted from LittleBigPlanet 2. Sponges dangling over courses provide grappling hooks for you to swing from by holding L1.
This opens up opportunities for some bonkers course design and United Front doesn't pass up the chance to throw in fiery pits, deep chasms and even more creative obstacles. On one course you swing over a train track as a locomotive - with only small gaps in its trailing carriages - steams by. You can still steer slightly as you swing, and its up to you to release your hook at the right time, meaning there's a level of skill required in every swing. Well-placed grapples are also means of reaching some of the trickier shortcuts, and nailing them is immensely satisfying.
Also lifted from the LBP formula is score bubbles, both small and large, with the larger ones packing prizes which you collect to expand your customization options to hundreds of items. These bubbles are spread around all the courses, adding an element of exploration to the already hectic chaos as you play.
This element fit perfectly with platforming because it required just a little extra effort to explore and grab a few off-the-path bubbles. Unlike the platform games, however, bubble hunting during a race is detrimental to your racing prospects. You either compete to win or you hunt for bubbles, you can't really do both properly. This almost seems to have been done by design: those alluring prize bubbles seemingly always placed off the ideal racing line or in hard-to-reach spots that will almost certainly spell bad news for those who dare to get them. They can therefore be an annoyance; a distraction. But they also add replayability, because you'll need to run races more than once to get them all.
Winning races, however, isn't just a case of reaching the finish line. LittleBigPlanet is known for its creativity and LBPK takes this reputation to heart. There are battle modes, and numerous alterations on the kill-everyone rules. One battle stage is set in a laboratory with a giant red switch in the middle which, when glowing, gives the player who presses it momentary electrical power, destroying all who come near. Another stage places an egg in the map, which grants its possessor a giant kart, but renders them unable to shoot weapons. Battles take place in castles, wide-open fields or on top of two flying ships with launch pads flicking players through the air between them.
The variety is incredible.
And that's before you start toying with the mini games. Just like the platformers, as you work your way through the main levels - displayed as patches on planets just like you're used to - you unlock smaller patches which take you to mini games. In true LBP fashion, some of these are simple scenario challenges, while others offer vastly different gameplay types.
There's top-down RC racing, there's a side-scrolling hopping game, there's a race in a high-speed electric-powered F1 car that needs to be stopped in the pits every couple of laps for a quick recharge.
Sometimes you don't even control a kart at all. One stage puts you in control of a giant lizard that you stomp around a simple urban environment in a top-down view, smashing trucks with your feet and fire breath. These games are all fairly simple, but with so many in a single package the variety and creativity on display here is astounding.
The only major gripe with the game's single-player offering is playing against the CPU characters, who can often be ruthless with their weapon use and not entirely fair with their pace. I'm talking about going from 1st to 8th within seconds through no fault of your own and seemingly no way to avoid it. In the latter races there's very little order to the chaos; even as a seasoned kart game player I found myself having to play races multiple times hoping for that one lucky occasion when the CPU doesn't completely obliterate me on the final straight. In these CPU races it's as if skill counts for nothing.
As expected from a LBP title, multiplayer is woven into every corner of the game. A second player can grab a controller and leap into any of the main story levels with you. Add a third and fourth player and you'll be restricted to the `VS mode' alternatives provided for every stage, which eliminates the CPU players and leaves you with friends.
Local multiplayer with friends is as amusing as ever. There's a noticeable loss off visual detail in four-player split-screen, but it's still suitably smooth and fast, and loads of fun.
Online play is what will keep the game in your PS3 disc slot for months after you blast through the campaign on your own. Sticking to the same formula as the LBP games, you're able to seamlessly jump into lobbies or public matchmaking games on developer-made courses or originals created by players. Although I wasn't able to sample the delights of public online play, as this portion of the game wasn't available at the time of reviewing, it's easy to imagine how replacing those infuriating CPU karts with real human competitors on an inevitably endless supply of custom-made courses will be a triumph in kart racing.
If there was any part of LBPK you'd expect to be lacking, you'd think it would be in the game's course-editing tools. I mean, LBP2 was so flexible it let you make entirely different games. How creative can you be with a course editor? Incredibly creative is the simple answer.
The customization options available are simply immense. The cool thing is that if you just want to lay down a simple track and hit the tarmac you can do that within minutes of spawning a bare canvas. Making a worthwhile level in LBP2 was never this simple. Laying out a basic circuit is as easy as steering a rolling pin around, painting your course with left and right turns as well as vertical undulations on the fly with the analogue sticks. Connect a full loop and you're ready to go.
Creating hills and lakes, and slapping in some scenery is also a cinch. But if you want to get deep, there's no end to the ocean of customization available. There are a whopping 57 tutorial videos. Seriously. It's like a programming course. CPUs, logic editors, sequencers, custom AI, switches (several kinds), motors... everything you could imagine. These options not only let you make courses and battle arenas, but entire mini games, custom weapons, plots, cutscenes, and even alternative gameplay modes altogether.
And all of the sharing, downloading, and ratings systems pioneered by LBP are present here. It's brilliant stuff.
LittleBigPlanet Karting is a huge achievement. Even as a devout Mario Kart fan since the very beginning, I can't help but yearn for Nintendo to stop playing it so safe with the franchise. They need to surprise me. I want more shocking courses. I want exciting new modes. I want a new game structure grander than the basic `cups'. It's the year 2012; for the love of Peach I want a bleeping course editor.
LBPK serves up all these goods and more. And yet, just as LittleBigPlanet never once felt like a Super Mario Bros. clone, LBPK accomplishes not feeling like a Mario Kart clone. It's not a re-skinned ModNation Racers either - it's suitably expanded to deserve recognition as a game all on its own.
It's got its quirks; playing against the CPU can be a frustrating ordeal, and some of the autopilot weapons too often release you into tricky positions, sometimes even dropping you off the course completely. But the solid racing core laid out by ModNation Racers combined with the universe of creativity, variety and charm that the LBP franchise in known for makes for a karting game with near limitless potential and unrivaled multiplayer racing fun.
+ Incredible customization
+ Full of LBP charm
+ A multiplayer marvel

Harvey Keitel: 'The Whole Culture Of Hollywood Needs To Change'
HuffingtonPost.com | Caroline Frost | Posted 28.01.2016 | UK Entertainment
The Next Thing: McClanahan's first novel will be put out next year by Tyrant Books. He is also writing The Sarah Book in 2012, a chapter of which is included here. Which is all looking pretty good for McClanahan disciples, particularly as he's planning some readings in Europe for next year. Look out for him.


text: The days after Easter, right from the very start, have always been very heady ones for the followers of Jesus. Just this past Sunday we heard an amazing passage from the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. In describing the early Christian community, the sacred writer said: "There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they would distributed to each according to need." Obviously over the past 2,000 years the attitude about sharing our resources has changed considerably among the followers of Jesus the Christ. But that ideal proclaimed from Scripture still belongs to us. Even though we tend to look upon it nowadays as excessive, it is nevertheless a very serious and important reminder that concern for the needy around us is still an important aspect of our life as Catholic Christian people.Let me share some good news. You all know that the archdiocese has been actively engaged in a capital campaign, Sharing our Faith, Shaping our Future, for some two years. Our goal was to achieve a $50 million increase in the financial resources of the archdiocese over a five-year period. Thus far we have received pledges of approximately $30 million. We are still working hard to come a lot closer to the goal and, if possible, to exceed it. But that will require much work and a "never say die" attitude among parish leaders and pastors. Some of the parishes postponed their involvement in the campaign because of their own projects which had been delayed during the hard days of bankruptcy. But a number of them are now engaged in the capital campaign and some others are still planning to kick things off this summer. Some pastors and I are still active in pursuing major donors who have thus far eluded our efforts to speak with them. You may recall that we promised that every undesignated dollar contributed to the campaign would result in a 25 percent return to the parish of the donor. Last fall $921,744 was returned to parishes and this spring $694,190 is likewise being made available to our parishes. There were 129 parishes and missions who received these funds. As someone commented, this is "not exactly what some might call chump change that the parishes are receiving for ministry." The total of $1,615,935.54 is both noteworthy and laudable. I am grateful to the parishioners who supported the campaign and thereby assisted with the needs of the archdiocese as well as those of their parishes. Donations to the parishes will continue to be distributed every fall and every spring, based on cash received. Likewise we are in the middle of the 2012 Archbishop's Catholic Appeal. You may recall that the Appeal was cancelled in 2011 to allow for concentration on the capital campaign. At the end of the fifth week of this year's Appeal, back in late March, we had achieved 62.45 percent of our goal. This translates into $2,240,190 pledged with a goal of $3,640,000. Nearly 15 percent of the households of the archdiocese have made a pledge. This is well below the normal participation rate of 30 percent to 35 percent. We obviously have a long way to go. I find it interesting that parishes that were successful in the Campaign seem to be very successful in the Appeal. Parishes that stumbled during the Campaign seem to keep stumbling in the Appeal. Donations to the Annual Appeal are very important for next year's fiscal budget here in the archdiocese. I am counting on the full cooperation of pastors and parish leaders. I would hope that every parish could achieve 100 percent of the financial goal and 40 percent participation on the part of parishioners. Thus far the parish with the highest achievement is a newcomer to such success stories. I am referring to St. James Church in Molalla which has already reached 171 percent of its parish goal. St. James also wins the highest participation rate with 49 percent of parish households that have made a pledge. Congratulations to Father Ted Prentice and his parish leaders!Another very important responsibility of Catholic stewardship also requires our attention and personal sacrifices this spring. I am referring of course, to the annual appeal of Catholic Charities and its member organizations, which is now underway. Parish announcements of the campaign are being made this year on the weekend of April 28-29 and a collection is to be taken up in every parish on the weekend of May 5-6. Many people contribute to the appeal through the mail. Either by way of the mail or the parish collection we have another opportunity to exercise good stewardship in making sure that there is indeed "no needy person" among us who is ignored or refused assistance. Member organizations of Catholic Charities include Catholic Charities of Portland, Catholic Community Services of Lane County, Catholic Community Services of Mid-Willamette Valley, Catholic Charities of Southern Oregon and CYO/Camp Howard. This year's appeal reminds us that "we all need a Good Samaritan." The appeal materials spell out some of the very particular ways in which we Catholics have been able to assist needy people across western Oregon. Even though there are leaders in government who seem to look upon the work of Catholic Charities and its member organizations as less than Catholic because we serve those who are not members of our church, we know that what we are doing is very much in keeping with the preaching and example of Jesus during his life and ministry among us. One of the concrete ways in which we do assist some of our needy folks is through our Catholic Charities Housing Transitions Program. So often there are people among us who have no housing or inadequate housing. But with the help of case management from Catholic Charities many of these folks have been able to learn how to become better renters and to access some of the very basic needs most of us take for granted, like a warm shower and a place to wash our clothing. Another way in which we help out is through Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Program. A particular family highlighted in this year's brochure recently escaped rebel attacks in south Sudan. The family found assistance from us through Catholic Charities and now lives in a furnished apartment here in the archdiocese. The children are assisted in after-school programs to catch up with the other kids their age. It's a true act of charity, very much in the spirit of the Good Samaritan. Catholic Charities Pregnancy Support and Adoption Services is another vehicle whereby we are able to reach out and help young mothers in our communities who find themselves without the resources they need to give their children the proper care. Because of these services you and I have been able to give rental assistance, diapers and formula to help a mother and child, not only survive but thrive. It is important for all of us to make concrete effort to assist our needy neighbors as Jesus taught and to follow the example of the Good Samaritan. I encourage you to be generous in this year's Appeal. We Catholics look upon all our neighbors as children of God, worthy of respect and endowed with the same human dignity. May there be "no needy person" among us who is refused our care.

CC (Cape Cod)
A bunch of hot strangers.
A three-month party that's
off the hook.
Everyone's in the Cape Cod share for something: the bling, to make bank, a Kennedy. Or running from something: their past, a bad breakup. The housemates are all really different. It's looking like a long hard summer. Until the blowout party that changes everything.

ST. PETERSBURG — Some people throw lines into the water and call it fishing.
Then there are people like Bill Harris, whose whole life revolved around what others consider weekend fun.
He studied the moon and tides. He studied the habits of fishermen who came before him. He talked to the water and to fish. He was protective of the gulf's majesty.
Harris, one of the last South Pinellas commercial trout fisherman, died of esophageal cancer on Thanksgiving. He was 71.
Mr. Harris did not drive a car since the 1960s. He was terrified of bridges and the interstate. He motored his boat to the hospital or to errands, even if he could get there quicker walking.
Later in life, after a career as a commercial fisherman and a stint as a sport fisherman, he became a cantankerous old salt. Mr. Harris would rail against developers and fertilizers spilling into the bay. He drew up T-shirts that said: "Keep Florida Green. Plant a Developer."
His love for fishing began when Mr. Harris was 10 or so, said his sister, Mary Lou Harris of South Pasadena.
They would walk down to Vinoy Park and catch mangrove snapper on cane poles. They would ride bikes over to Bartlett Park and catch blue crabs with old twine and bits of bacon.
At 12, Mr. Harris began riding on charter fishing boats, ferries and sight-seeing vessels, just watching. By the seventh grade, he had dropped out of school to work on those boats full time.
His tools were few and simple. A compass. A lead line to gauge depth. A paper graph fish finder. A journal. Instinct.
For five decades, a cigarette dangled from his lips.
"He had hundreds of spots on the bay that he could go to and catch 200 or 300 pounds of grouper in a day," said his stepbrother, George Roux, 58, a charter fisherman.
His teachers were history and nature.
"He didn't use GPS," said fishing buddy, Mike Metz, 47, owner of Castaway's Fish House at Maximo Marina. "He'd just line up everything. Telephone pole, lined up with that tree over there, that's the spot."
Mr. Harris was briefly married to Sue Roberts, the daughter of one of his fishing mentors. Their marriage lasted a few years.
As he aged, his fishing slowed down. Mr. Harris was hired as the night watchman at Pasadena Marina, which later became Great American Marina. After that business changed hands, Mr. Harris docked his boat at Maximo Marina and supported himself by fishing, something that was becoming more difficult as development encroached.
"He knew a lot about the area, and he was willing to teach it to the right people," said Metz. "Someone who would shut up and listen."
Only a selected few were invited aboard his vessel, one at a time.
"He was Old Florida, an era before companies ruled the gulf, before the bays were playgrounds for tourists, and before developers turned wilderness into condos," his sister, Mary Lou Harris, 76, wrote in a remembrance. "Bill had already known that as much as the water had provided for us, we must all strive to return the favor."
On Dec. 12, his friends plan to spread his ashes a hundred yards west of Egmont Key, where one of Harris's old fishing boats, Thumper, went down.

You might want to tune in to the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) Wednesday evening. Those in the Hartford/Bloomfield/South Windsor area will surely see a familiar face. Hartford native, actress Kendra C. Johnson will star in the new writer/director/actor Tyler Perry TV comedy, "Love Thy Neighbor" which premieres at 9 p.m. (EST) Best known for her starring role in the independent feature "Phat Girls" and her recurring role in the hit BET television series "The Game," Johnson is also an editor for PLUS Model Magazine and a passionate advocate for breast cancer research and awareness. Often in Connecticut to visit family and friends, Johnson was excited about the new show and about updating her home state of Connecticut by Spilling the Beans with Java.
Q: I can't imagine anything more fun than working with Tyler Perry. How did you get the role?


text: Tried printing some pt/pd prints this afternoon and was disappointed in the results. I was creating a second set of prints of negatives I had successfully printed a week ago using the same process. During development the prints showed splotchy sections that look like almost perfect circles did not get either enough developer or coating. Is it me (perish the thought), the paper or whatever? A picture is in the discussion gallery. I have circled the offending areas. Would some of our alt process wizards offer their analysis, please? Gory technical details: Paper: COT 320 11 x 14 coated for 8 x 10 image FO - 12 drops NA2 - 4 drops Pt - 4 drops Pd - 10 drops Single coat, rod coated, ambient air drying.

If there is one problem affecting most open world games is navigation, how to get from one point to another is quite important, and this generation gamers have witnessed some fantastic ways to navigate worlds; assassin's creed did the awesome free running, red dead involved galloping across the beautiful scenery, and batman arkham city involves being the motherf#cking batman and gliding everywhere, one of the most notable things about the game is how easily you can fly through the map, with the zip lining and gliding very easy use and awesome. Arkham city has a very large list of things it does ahead of the competition, and it's all done in a slick fashion
The combat is both fun and deep, and unlike the stiff combat of AC this involves punching through 50 enemies in one smooth combo, with quickfire gadgets and super movies to utilise when you reach a certain combo, the enemies are also varied, with the usual thugs and thugs with knives and pipes and guns, all of which require different strategies to take care of, making the combat incredibly fin throughout the whole game, with intense stealth and epic battles involving a very large number of thugs, the combat is so deep that you can play through the game multiple times and still discover new strategies to do, the combat has achieved a high watermark that other developers will attempt to reach.
The story in the game is very entertaining, it takes place in a sealed off part of gotham turned into a prison called arkham city, with the joker suffering from a fatal disease that he inflicts upon batman and the citizens of gotham, and so batman must find the cure or he wil die in a few hours, also hugo strange, the man who built the city, is launching a program called 'protocol 10', so it becomes a thrilling struggle to find out what protocol ten is and retrieve a cure. The voice acting in Arkham CIty is as great as it was in 2009's arkham city, with amazing performances by kevin konroy and mark hamill, also including the surprise addition of nolan north as penguin, who pulled in a very good performance, and you'll barely recognize his voice, you might recognise north as one of the many thugs in the streets of Arkham, though. Overall the story has great pacing and there are so many characters that many are sidelined and barely get any exposition, but they'll hopefully play a bigger part in a sequel, also the ending is superior to Asylum's strange ending.
Another great thing about this game is the sheer amount of replayability, besides the regular campaign there is a solid amount of fun side quests that add depth and exposition to the story, there is also gameplus mode where you start up with all your upgrades and enemies are alot tougher, you will want to play this. There is also the challenge maps that involve both combat and stealth sections, and can get very addictive, it would've been great to add an autolog-like feature where you can compare your scores with friends, but the leaderboards are pretty cool too, no complaining here, and of course we have the riddler trophoes, theres over 400 of them and it becomes a very satisfying and addictive process to find them all, and believe me, you will want to find them all, the game's slick presentation details exactly how much progress you've made in all the modes and you will definitely be hooked to get all the trophies and find all the secrets.
Another talked about aspect of the game is the catwoman missions, which are great, they're similar to batman but the combat is more fast paced and catwoman has her own fun style of navigating the arkham map, with her own trophies to collect. The problem is that these come in the form of a download voucher, and so people without internet don't have access to this great content, and catwoman's tight pink suit is something you shouldn't miss out on.
Overall arkham city is very likely to end up being the best game of 2011, easily the best Batman game and best licensed game ever made, and an experience you absolutely must not miss.

Johannesburg - The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday suspended its Chatsworth branch chairman Visvin Reddy following his remarks on Facebook that Indians who complain about the ANC government should go back to India.
"His recent remarks on a public platform... the party views as out of line with the position of the organisation," said provincial secretary Sihle Zikalala in a statement.
On his Facebook page Reddy posted: "To you anti ANC commentators… wait until May 8....The ANC will still rule this country. You whiners should leave...Go to India and you will see what a good life we have here. Continue with your garbage and marginalise yourself further. Don't blame the ANC, blame yourself. You have not yet embraced democracy. Only a foolish Indian in SA will not engage the majority constructively."
The country's general elections will take place on May 7.
At the time, Reddy told The Daily News that he stood by his comment and the views he expressed were not the African National Congress's.
On Saturday Zikalala said the ANC believed in non-racialism.
"We do not associate ourselves with any sentiments which seek to divide our members on the basis of race, sex, colour or creed. The ANC is for everyone."
Zikalala said a disciplinary hearing for Reddy would follow in "due process". - Sapa

Agartala, Feb 13 (UNI) Blaming the ruling Left Front for the 'downslide' in Tripura, the Congress today claimed that it was set to capture power in the February 23 assembly polls riding the anti-incumbency factor.
''Anti-incumbency is rising everyday and with a detoxicated electoral roll we are set to storm to power in the elections,'' Leader of Opposition in the outgoing Assembly Ratan Lal Nath said.
Talking to the media in a 'meet the press' programme at the Agartala Press Club, Mr Nath alleged that Tripura was sliding downward in every sector despite huge allocation of central funds.
''The Centre has initiated several positive steps for developing the state, but unfortunately the Tripura government has failed to implement these and blamed the Congress to divert peoples' attention,'' Mr Nath stated.
Tripura stood last in the sectoral development due to the misrule of the Left Front government, Mr Nath alleged.
''Tripura was fourth in agriculture during the early nineties, but it slumped to the 7th position,'' he rued.
Criticising Chief Minister Manik Sarkar for 'failing' to contain corruption, he alleged that the Front's misrule and corrupt practice were responsible for the under-development and unrest in the state.
He accused the CPI(M) led government of not implementing the Lokayukta Bill to safeguard corrupt politicians and said the LF was trying to win the election "playing" with the feel good campaign.
''Whatever development was noticed in Tripura had been the contribution of the central government and in their 15 years' rule poverty had grown. In 1993, the number of people living below poverty line in Tripura was 13.7 lakh which increased to 22.8 lakh in 2007,'' Mr Nath said.
Flaying the Left's campaign regarding the ban on employment imposed by the Centre, he said the Prime Minister's letter on February 7,2007 had made it clear that there was no such ban in Tripura and Kashmir. He accused the Left leaders of sending out a wrong message to the people.
Mr Nath also pointed out that according to the report of the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB), 2007, Tripura's position in law and order was sixth, while in the matter of crime against women, the state topped the list in 2006.
''And most unfortunately the guilty are not punished because the conviction rate here is only 17 per cent against the national average of 42 per cent,'' he pointed out.
To a question he said the Congress would emphasise on employment generation and contain corruption, if it comes to power.
He said e-governance will be the thrust area and expansion of information technology as well as creation of employment opportunity were Congress's priority sector and the party manifesto promised to initiate measure to make Agartala a gateway of South east Asia.
He informed that the party was preparing its manifesto where people of Tripura will find some conclusive and specific assurance for development of the state.

I'd use it for regular hot tea, but I've got the mug and travel mug that have steepers with them so I use those at home or work :) I love this, it doesn't leak, ever, its so easy to clean, a quick rinse and you're good to go. Sometimes I add a little sugar or agave nectar right into it while its steeping, then I'm good to go :D this is a must have for any tea lover!

Malaysia has a vibrant mix of oriental cultures. Its cities combines traditional and whizzy modern skylines, from the skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur to the colonial architecture in the southern city of Malacca and also in George Town, in northern Penang. And its landscapes range from palm-fringed, white-sand beaches - such as the heavenly islands of the Langkawi archipelago - to the rolling green hills of the Cameron Highlands. The country is also renowned for having some of the world's best spas, including the sensational Village Spa on the private-island resort of Pangkor Laut.
A lovely colonial hotel, with palm trees shading its wooden terraces, set on its own 40-acre hill in the middle of Kuala Lumpur's Lake Garden. There are just 13 suites, and each is individually decorated and comes with its own butler.
Owned by one of Malaysia's pre-eminent architects, Hijjas Kasturi, Hotel Penaga is a 45-room property converted from an Art Deco terrace in Penang's heritage enclave, George Town. Malay and Chinese treatments are on offer in the spa, fusion cuisine in the restaurant, Cinnamon.Book Now
A tower hotel 29 storeys high, with more than 560 high-tech rooms and suites, aimed firmly at business travellers. The hotel's highlight is the day-and-night jogging track around the rooftop pool. It is well-located, too, on Bintang Walk.
This 63-year-old, casuarinas-fringed seafront hotel was the first hotel to be built on the Batu Ferringhi strip on the north coast of Penang Island. It is no longer lone, as the holiday strip is now one of the most developed areas in Penang, but there's still miles of white-sand beach to enjoy. The Lone Pine Hotel reopened in recent years after an update, with 40 new guestrooms (taking the total to 90), a spa, a Japanese restaurant and a beach café serving Hainanese specialties.
A huge five-star hotel with 643 identical rooms, 30 park suites and 51 serviced apartments. It overlooks the Petronas Towers, and there's also a pool on one of the rooftops overlooking gardens, tennis courts, squash courts and direct access to the 120-acre Kuala Lumpur City Centre Park built on a former racecourse.
First-time hoteliers Roberto Dreon and Nardya Wray uprooted from London to transform a traditional three-storey shophouse - once a sailors' hostel - into a charming boutique hotel.

The arrival of Four Seasons Resort Langkawi adds to the Malay island's rising reputation as an alternative to Bali. The resort is on the north-eastern shore of Langkawi, which is now accessible by direct, overnight flights from London Heathrow with Malaysia Airlines. The décor blends several design influences, including local kampong (village) style, and reflects Langkawi's melting-pot history: Balinese, Chinese and Indian immigrants have all settled on the island. The beach villas are palatial, with private plunge pools and a bathtub you could fit four in. The resort's highlight is its infinity-edged pool, which is flanked by eight private areas for couples, each separated by stone walls high enough to ensure privacy without obscuring views of the pool and the Andaman Sea beyond. The 'reflecting' pool, overlooked by an 'inspiration' pavilion for yoga, tea and meditation, comes a close second. There are two restaurants including Ikan-Ikan ('fish'), housed in a traditional pavilion on the beach; the Rhu bar, with its double daybeds, is a relaxing place to end an evening. The spa provides Thai and Malay massages, Ayurvedic treatments and private yoga classes, and the in-house naturalist, Idi, offers guided boat tours of the nearby mangrove.
The Lake House Hotel in Ringlet, Cameron Islands, is a Tudor-style country house overlooking a lake. The 18 rooms are furnished with antiques and have en-suite bathrooms.

My old one, had melting in the bulb reflector and was out of its socket, I did not want to just replace the bulb and re-install, it. This replacement was a perfect match and I have replacement bulbs from my old unit just incase a bulb goes out. I'm not sure what the one Philips screw with washer was for? wasn't needed. Thank you

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer get engaged
It seems being real-life boyfriend and girlfriend off the set of True Blood isn't enough for Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin. The couple have now gotten engaged, People reports.A psychic and a vampire -- we can't wait to see the reception hall.
There's only so much we can say about this news, but we will point out Moyer has two kids from prior relationships: Billy, born in 2000; and Lilac, born in 2002. So that proves Sookie isn't the only one Bill has been having nude love scenes with.

Back from my Hawaiian cruise!
The only things I missed from home was my bunny and my tea stash, though seeing my tea stash today was overwhelming, man I have a lot of tea. Oh and I missed my variable temp kettle.
So, mint tea on the ship sucked – the one they had had hibiscus in it for some random reason giving the tea a gross grey colour. Time for some better mint tea! Love the berry, smokey gunpowder green and fresh peppermint flavor. I shoulda brought this tea with me, I didn't bring many greens.
oh man, I gained so much weight on this cruise and it will be difficult not eating 4 meals of day, 3 of them with a dessert. Back to unpacking and chipping away at emails.

A truck driver accused of downloading child pornography has been arrested at the Pembina, N.D., border crossing, according to court documents.
Garold Edward Miller, 67, Bridger, Mont., made an initial appearance in federal court Tuesday morning in Grand Forks.
Though he downloaded the illicit material while traveling from truck stop to truck stop in North Dakota, investigators identified him using a serial number assigned to his computer, according to a criminal complaint.
Investigators found 26,000 images and 800 videos that they suspect are child porn. Many of the images matched those already identified as child porn, the complaint said.
Miller was arrested July 15th and booked into the Pembina County jail. He is now in Grand Forks County jail.
North Dakota's Internet Crimes Against Children program initially detected someone downloading the illicit material using file-sharing software. The person accessed the Internet at truck stops and rest areas, not a home address, but investigators were able to detect a global unique identifier, or GUID, assigned to a laptop computer.
The criminal complaint also states:
The GUID number was associated with an Internet Protocol address registered to Miller at his Bridger home in southern Montana.
When Miller, who worked for Steve Nelson Trucking of Billings, Mont., stopped at the border crossing, border agents were alerted. Searching his truck, they found his laptop, a cell phone, and various hard drives and thumb drives.
In an interview with Special Agent Jessie Smith, a computer forensic expert with the state, Miller admitted that he did download child porn.
Examining his computer, Smith also confirmed it had the same serial number as the computer that downloaded child porn.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security filed the criminal complaint, accusing Miller of transporting child porn across state lines and the international border.

THE collision of parallel worlds, the secret and the open, in what analysts call ''strategic shock'' - a surprise attack to usher in a dramatic change in global affairs. But when the surprise comes, it's still just that.
The WikiLeaks disclosures may not have the violence of September 11, Pearl Harbour, or the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand that unleashed the Great War. But the existing world order has irrevocably changed.
The men who boarded commercial airliners with box-cutters were able to use everyday items to change the game. WikiLeaks managed this with a clever website, a flash-drive and, apparently, a CD labelled Lady Gaga to download files.
Nobody saw this coming.
On display is the power of a new actor in global politics - not a government or aid agency, a corporation or terrorist outfit. WikiLeaks has no national identity, yet appeals to patriotism as a reason to expose wrongdoing. Or, more accurately, to deny the secrets of state.
It has long been promised that the internet would revolutionise the world. Until now the web has simply made what we already did work faster - email instead of snail-mail, shopping and banking online instead of in stores, Wikipedia rather than the encyclopaedia. But this?
The impact is enormous. For months to come, the US State Department will do little more than apologise. Sorry the cables were leaked. We regret writing such things. Please trust us again.
Already a wounded superpower, the US has suffered a massive blow to its prestige by the disclosures. Think beyond the damage to ties with Australia - where, despite warm words of understanding this week from Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd, anger runs deep that such a breach could occur.
Spain is reeling at evidence that the US embassy in Madrid sought to strong-arm judges and prosecutors in cases that involved Americans. Germans know that Washington sees its Foreign Minister as ''arrogant'' and vain.
The Poles have discovered their government got empty missile batteries - ''potted plants'' - rather than a step towards a defensive shield.
On runs the list of controversies, engulfing nearly every government. More is to follow; only a fraction of the leaked cables has emerged. The US will struggle to find room to advance other items on its foreign policy agenda.
But the erosion of trust in the US is only the beginning. Other countries have learned much about how Washington sees the world - its priorities, and perhaps most importantly, the gaps in its knowledge.
Included in the cables are certain collection priorities for US intelligence agencies, the areas the US wishes to learn about. This is a gold mine for hostile foreign governments.
Where will it stop? Is this open democracy, or the destructive ferocity of an unelected few?
No doubt the clamps of government secrecy are being tightened. The embarrassment from the release of this tranche of cables will eventually fade and it remains to be seen what more WikiLeaks can obtain.
Perhaps a young Chinese soldier will see a chance to break the opaque bubble surrounding Beijing, or a hidden commercial collusion by banks will come to light.
But over the course of this year a great change has taken place with ramifications for global politics that are yet to become clear.
WikiLeaks wants to offer an unrestrained insight into a world occasionally glimpsed but mostly hidden. It draws support across national boundaries, with tiny donations and an online identity making the organisation all but impossible to shut down.
Its supporters hack commercial websites and challenge governments. All the bang of bomb throwers - marching into a world unknown.

Local News Collection (records to be added)
The Keyword Search button allows you to perform a general search across multiple fields for any catalog records online. Keyword searches use OR as the default connector between words (e.g. a search for Hanley Ranch will return records associated with Hanley OR Ranch). If you want to find records where both keywords are found, type in AND between the two words. To search for a specific phrase, be sure to put the phrase within quotes (e.g. "Rocky Pine Ranch"). You can also use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard (e.g. a search for histor* would come up with records containing history, histories, historical, etc.). Searches are not case sensitive.
The Advanced Search button can help you be more specific with your search. You can search for a word or phrase within a particular search category or use multiple categories to further narrow down your search results. For example, searching White in the People field will bring up any records associated with a member of the White family, without having to sift through black & white photographs. You can also search People and Creator records through Advanced Search. Phrase searching with quotes and use of wildcards (*) are available in Advanced Search.
The catalog buttons can also help narrow down your search, by only searching with a selected catalog. If you only want to search for Artifacts, click the Artifacts button and type in your keyword(s) or phrase. You can also browse records within that catalog without performing a search. Phrase searching, wildcards (*) as well as AND/OR statements are available when performing catalog searches.
The Random Images button is a great way to just browse the collection. Each Random Images page displays a random assortment of images from the records online. If something piques your interest, click the thumbnail to view a larger version of the image.

Staying out of the sun is an important way to prevent melanoma. But this supplement might help too.
Melanoma is the most feared type of skin cancer, as well as the deadliest. Being out in the sun raises your risk of melanoma. Fair-skinned people and those who sunburn easily are especially vulnerable.
A new study finds that taking Vitamin A may provide some protection.
Researchers followed nearly 70,000 men and women for about six years to see if their diet affected their risk of developing melanoma. They found that people who were using Vitamin A supplements were 40% less likely to develop this cancer. People who got more Vitamin A through their diet didn't have a lower risk.
It's possible that people who took vitamin supplements also made more effort to protect themselves from the sun. However, earlier research found that substances similar to Vitamin A can keep melanoma cells from multiplying.
Until scientists learn more about the possible effects of Vitamin A, you can help protect yourself by avoiding sunshine in midday, using sunscreen while you're outdoors and staying out of tanning beds.

Chandramukhi 2 is a remake of Kannada blockbuster movie Aptharakshaka, which starred late Sandalwood matinee idol Dr Vishnuvardhan in the lead. The movie is reportedly produced by Sivaji Productions, and the production house bosses have approached Ajith Kumar again and convinced him. They had earlier met him and offered the same but later the plans were temporarily shelved, as the Telugu version titled Nagavalli starring Venkatesh got moderate response.
Later, Ajith Kumar went on to do Mankatha followed by Billa 2. He is currently busy with Vishnuvardhan's directorial untitled movie and his next is expected to be a commercial movie directed by T Siva of Siruthai fame. The project could only start after the completion of these movies. However, the first instalment starred Rajinikanth, Jyothika and Nayantara in the leads.

I am a 24, a few years ago I began to notice crows feet, these have rapidly become worse and I am now looking a lot older than I am. I'm losing confidence in myself now. What would be the right treatment for me?
What's the Best Way to Get Rid of Crows Feet?
Doctor Answers 6
Different options for treating crow's feet and fine lines
There are essentially 2 main categories of facial lines - dynamic and static.
- Dynamic lines are those produced by the actions of the underlying muscles. This can be illustrated by actively frowning (see the vertical lines between the brows?) or smiling/squinting (see the lines outside the eyes - i.e. crow's feet?).
- In contrast, static facial lines are those that are present all times - even during complete rest or sleep, i.e. - these lines are actual lines present on the skin resulting from long history of squinting, frowning, sun damage, etc.
Typically speaking, there is some component of both lines present - one may have few lines at rest, but these lines become much more dramatic during animation. With the above in mind, there are really 2 main forms of treatment for facial lines:
- Dynamic lines are best treated by Botox Cosmetic - which work by paralyzing the treated muscles. This makes sense since dynamic lines are from the movement of the underlying muscles.
- Static lines are best treated by Resurfacing. Resurfacing is a general term that involves "shaving" the top layers of skin. There are many different ways to resurface - mechanical (e.g. dermabrasion), chemical (TCA, Phenol, Retin A, etc.), and laser (CO2, Erbium, Fraxel, etc.).
With the above in mind, if the predominant component of your crow's feet is dynamic in nature, then Botox Cosmetic may be the preferred treatment method. If your crow's feet wrinkles are mostly static, then consider some form of resurfacing.
Resurfacing can be mild (microdermabrasion, light peels), moderate (TCA peels, etc) to deep (stronger chemical peels, C02 laser, etc). Some patients may require a combination of both treatments (botox + resurfacing). Please consult with your local professional to fully discuss all benefits, limitations of each treatment, and potential complications/side effects of each treatment to be fully informed about your options.
Hope this helps somewhat and at least, gives some general overview of the topic.
Crow's Feet
The best option for wrinkles at the corners of the eyes (crow's feet) is to use a neuromodulator, such as Botox or Dysport. These treatments temporarily weaken the small muscles in this area which cause these wrinkles while smiling or squinting. The crow's feet, horizontal forehead wrinkles and vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows are the three most commonly treated areas with Botox and Dysport. The effects typically last 3-4 months when patients first begin using Botox, however, with time I have found that treatments may be spaced out to 6 months or longer.
The other piece of advice I would offer would be to ensure that you are diligent about sunscreen use. Sun damage can cause the skin to look older than it should look at your age. Seek the advice of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can recommend a good skin-care regimen for you.

What is the best way to get rid of crow's feet
The treatment for your crow's feet will depend on what kind of wrinkle it isconsidering your age I would assume your wrinkle are mostly dynamic wrinkles, in other words they appear when the facial muscles are moving, in which case Botox would be the best treatment. If the wrinkles are visible when the face muscles aren't contracted then trying laser or radio frequency pixel treatment, aggressive chemical peels might help.

Fillers: Like Restylane, Juvederm, hyaluronic acid fillers, are used to add natural volume back to the sunken areas under the eyes.
Injectables: Like Botox and Dysport help immobilize the muscles that surround the eyes to prevent the skin from creasing—causing wrinkles.
Lasers: Can help stimulate the growth of skin-firming tissues like collagen and elastin.
Making your eyes look young, will make your entire face appear younger.

Crows Feet Treatment Options
First I would address the reason for crows-feet wrinkles. These type of wrinkles are often seen in patients that squint so first of all I would make sure that if you need visual correction then use glasses or contacts (if not sure, have your vision tested) and use sunglasses on bright days. Do not smoke, use sunscreens and moisturizers. Now for treatment options: Botox by a qualified injector is probably your best option. For well established static wrinkle lines TCA peel, or fractional laser often helps and in extreme cases surgical procedures to reduce these also are helpful. Redundant skin may require a pinch blepharoplasty or temple/brow lift depending on your exam. A qualified board certified aesthetic surgeon will help you find the right treatment for you

What the Heck Happenend?
Yesterday morning I strolled out to the garden, ready for a day of transplanting tomatoes and peppers. You may recall I started my seed trays a month or so back and now felt ready to settle the little darlings into their new home. The kids had their cousins over for a sleepover and I'd enlisted their help. Gardening is BIG fun for those kids without their own garden at home (though I was pleased to learn their public school has a garden). As we strolled down the rows, tomato trays in hand, we stopped short. There, in the middle of my perfectly lined walkway was a pile of mud. Looking further, we noticed the entire end of squash were washed out. I mean, seriously washed out.

FOXBORO, Mass. — Julian Edelman wasn't present for the Patriots' first day of minicamp on Tuesday, but that doesn't mean he wasn't working.
Edelman, who re-injured his right foot this offseason, was out of his walking boot and doing some short, slow routes on the filed at Gillette Stadium after practice on Tuesday afternoon. He caught passes from a member of the Patriots' training staff while another staffer swatted a towel at him as he attempted to catch the ball.
He did a good job concentrating on the passes and even gave a slight jog to catch up to a few balls that were thrown out a little wide. Just being out of the protective boot and doing some short routes is a positive sign for Edelman and the Patriots offense, even if it's only a small step in his recovery process.
The 27-year-old is now the Patriots' most veteran receiver and will likely rely on his skills and chemistry with Tom Brady as they enter this season with an entirely new receiving corps. He caught 21 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns in nine games in 2012. He was also the Patriots' best punt returner, averaging more than 15 yards and scoring a 68-yard touchdown on 17 punt returns last season.
Given the progress to this point and his expected recovery timetable, Edelman should be back to full health and with the Patriots at the start of training camp.
Here's a distant shot of Edelman out on the field, catching passes.
