Vivid offers to buy former Miss California Carrie Prejean's sex tape, which is only one of 8 videos and 30 nude photos
Remember how former Miss California Carrie Prejean called her sex tape "the biggest mistake" of her life? According to RadarOnline and TMZ, she made seven more giant whoopsies, for a total of eight. She must have gone to the Kim Kardashian School of How to Get Famous.
Besides the eight total recordings, the first of which figured into her settlement with Miss California USA pageant officials, there are apparently 30 nude photos floating around out there, which area ll likely to turn up on the Internet any second now (wait, keep reading!).
TMZ says notorious porn peddlers Vivid Entertainment have offered her big-money-no-whammies for the rights to distribute "erotic footage that Carrie Prejean ... produced for her boyfriend following their four (4) day rendezvous in February 2007," according to a letter from Vivid bossman Steven Hirsch. By the way, that settles the idea that she was only 17 when the tape was made.
It doesn't sound like Prejean is biting, however, although we think she should take what money she can get. Hypocrisy and dishonesty have already cost her enough, don't you think?

NASA has chosen Texas Tech University computer scientists to help develop software that will aid in the design and building of an abort system for a new Crew Exploration Vehicle. NASA engineers will work with Texas Tech scientists as they develop a prototype software system called Onboard Abort Executive. The decision making software is geared towards assisting the crew and flight controllers in making the safest decisions for an abort procedure in the event of an in flight failure.
Texas tech is no stranger to providing assistance to NASA. University scientists have already worked with engineers from the Johnson Space Center's Guidance, Navigation and Control group to apply software changes and modifications to the abort software that NASA had developed for its Shuttle cockpit avionics upgrade project.

Partridge to watch vote count until winner is official | Auburn election '13
Time and the number of votes remaining to count in the close Auburn mayoral race are running out.
As of Monday afternoon, City Councilmember and Deputy Mayor Backus led her fellow Councilmember John Partridge by 130 votes in the combined totals of King and Pierce County.
Backus, hoping to be Auburn's first female mayor, has received 6,697 votes so far in the combined total of King and Pierce counties, 50.51 percent, to John Partridge's combined 6,563 votes, or 49.49 percent.
In King County Partridge leads Backus by 168 votes. Backus's bulwark continues to be the Lakeland Hills section of Auburn in Pierce County, where she has a 302-vote lead.
Backus isn't yet willing to declare it over.
"I know the numbers are getting close, but the cautious side of me won't let go until I see the last numbers," Backus said. "As the numbers now sit, John would have to get 70-to-80 percent of the remaining vote, and that type of change seems highly unlikely. I'm feeling much better, but I would prefer this were done without the need for further counting."
Partridge said he would continue to watch the vote count until the last ballot is counted.
"One-hundred-fifty-one ballots were counted on Friday. According to King County, there are somewhere between 900 and 1,200 votes yet to be counted. I wish they would count a bit faster, but I'm enjoying the suspense," Partridge said. "I improved 30 votes this week and want to thank everyone who supported the campaign. I believe in giving everyone who voted a chance to be counted. We'll see how it turns out by the 26th."
As of Monday, numbers show, Partridge would need more than 90 percent of the remaining votes in Auburn to prevail.
The vote is certified Nov. 26.

Our buying department at Paper Source sees a lot of really great books year-round, but one in particular had more than a few people sneaking the book away to turn the pages. The Forest Feast is a captivating cookbook from Erin Gleeson, formerly of the James Beard Foundation and The New York Times Dining section.
Although it's typical to see some mouthwatering food imagery in a cookbook, The Forest Feast awed everyone here; the combination of food and art (the author doubles as the artist and pairs photography and watercolor) makes this a standout. Every page is chock full of color, and every single recipe has a full-page image of the finished dish alongside the raw ingredients used, plus instructions and illustrations. Let's just say this isn't your mom's all-text-cookbook staple; you're going to have as much fun digesting the visuals as you will the food.
Speaking of which, each of these vegetarian creations is made of six ingredients or less; making these stunning dishes within reach for a cook at any level.
Our buying team loved it so much, everyone made a dish from the book to celebrate with a Forest Feast lunch at our Chicago headquarters! As our book buyer said, "within six days, I had made 10 of the recipes at home!"
Paper Source is one of the first shops to carry The Forest Feast, and we can tell we're not the only ones in love; it's been out for only a couple of weeks now and is already one of our most popular titles!

Static on the Dial
A little less than four months after getting fired by Clear Channel Broadcasting, June Garcia Sherman, formerly the director of nontraditional revenue at five local Clear Channel stations, decided she wasn't going to take her dismissal lying down. On May 5, she filed suit against Clear Channel Worldwide, Clear Channel CEO Lowry Mays and Rick Martiny, her boss in Houston, and her litigation has Houston's radio industry in a tizzy.
As first reported in the Virginia-based trade mag Radio Business Report, Sherman is claiming that she was fired because she questioned the ethics of a Halloween haunted house deal put together by Steve Kopelman, the brother of Clear Channel Houston's regional vice president/market manager Mark Kopelman. The suit also alleges that the Galleria-area offices of Clear Channel Houston were a discriminatory environment for women and minorities, and indeed, the 137-point suit reads like some kind of R-rated, politically incorrect series of Dilbert cartoons.
A Clear Channel spokeswoman declined comment, citing a company policy that disallows discussion of pending litigation. The company has issued a general denial in the suit and is seeking to have it thrown out of court and into arbitration, based on guidelines in its employee handbook.
The arbitration clause in that handbook is broad, to say the least. Basically, if you're an employee and you have any beef with Clear Channel -- be it one about discrimination, sexual harassment or even whether your case is covered by the company arbitration agreement -- an arbiter gets to hear the case, not the courts. If you signed for your employee handbook and continued to work at Clear Channel, that means you agreed to the arbitration, Clear Channel's lawyers claim.

A written record of Sherman signing for the handbook is on file, but her lawyers are seeking to nullify the arbitration agreement because the handbook was for a company called Clear Channel Worldwide, which they claim is not a legal entity. Clear Channel says it's not a company per se but a recognized service mark, and therefore Sherman is subject to the agreement.
In Racket's opinion, it would indeed be a pity if this suit got thrown out of court -- if for no other reason than a jury would get cheated out of hearing a corker of a tale. Read on.
The suit states that in April of last year, Martiny told Sherman that she would be handling a haunted house deal in October. She was told that Steve Kopelman, who is not employed by Clear Channel, would be getting half the proceeds from the gate, and that Clear Channel Broadcasting would be paying all hard costs (budgeted at more than $300,000) and would also provide free advertising on its radio stations, she says in the suit.
With the fall of Enron still fresh on everybody's mind, Sherman says, she was concerned by what she saw as a shady project. The suit states that she expressed her concerns to Martiny, who then told her not to make "a stink" about the deal, before acknowledging that there might be something not aboveboard about it. According to the suit, Martiny said "there was probably some kind of deal going on but we have to do it because Kopelman is the market manager." Sherman responded that she thought that using company money for personal profit "didn't smell right." Martiny repeated his warning to her, the suit says.
From that day forward, the suit claims, Sherman's days on the job were numbered.
In June of last year, Sherman was told that her department wouldn't be getting the raises they had thought were forthcoming. The next month, Sherman and Steve Kopelman settled on the closed-down Old Navy store at Northwest Mall as the haunted house's home. Clear Channel swung the deal by giving Northwest Mall $30,000 in free advertising, the suit says.
Sherman expressed more concerns to Martiny, the suit says. Martiny told her to comply. Sherman agreed, but said that it "didn't look good that the company wouldn't pay the salary increases which it had promised to [her] department staff, and that it was footing the bill for Steve," the suit says.
Papa John's pizza was brought aboard as the title sponsor for the event. It paid Clear Channel $54,000 for a series of spots on the Mix. According to the suit, the pizza chain wanted more than the typical name mention and four-word tag such as "Papa John's -- the best pizza in town" or something like that. Sherman claims that she wouldn't budge -- Papa John's would have to be content with the same deal all the other nontraditional sponsors got.
Eventually, Sherman stepped aside and Cindy Abreu, an account executive at Clear Channel's classic rock station the Arrow and a member of that station's board of directors, took over negotiations with Papa John's. According to the suit, Papa John's fretted that some of the spots it had bought might not run, so Abreu forced all local station managers to give the chain ad time, and allowed Papa John's to add ten- to 15-second commercials to the haunted house promos. According to the suit, this shift renders the commercials salable inventory, and therefore shareholders' money.
Sherman states that relations with her superiors became noticeably more strained after she stood up to Papa John's. Sherman's husband, Marc -- the program director at Clear Channel station Sunny 99 -- got a phone call from Martiny in which the latter joked that he had just fired Sherman's wife, the suit says. Apparently he wasn't exactly joking. On September 3, Marc Sherman called June over to his office and showed her an Internet posting for her job, one that said it needed filling. June Sherman confronted Martiny about the help-wanted ad. Martiny denied knowing about the matter and summoned Abreu to his office. Abreu also professed ignorance. The next day, Drew Hilles, another Clear Channel employee, called her and told her the posting was a terrible mistake, that she shouldn't worry, that her job was safe, according to the suit.
Apparently this wasn't so. The ad didn't come down, and applicants were practically lining up at her door. A former client sent her an ad and asked Sherman for advice -- did Sherman think the friend was up to the job? Sherman recognized the job description as her own, and a close friend of Hilles's was also said to be in contention for her job. She approached Martiny about it, who told her not to worry, that he had "no clue" why the posting was still up, the suit says.
As Halloween approached, Sherman started worrying about the haunted house again. She approached Martiny and Abreu with her misgivings. They told her to zip it, the suit says. She decided to go over their heads. She called Mark Kopelman, ostensibly to talk about the press releases for opening night, but then she went on to talk about the event. The suit says that Kopelman cut her short and referred questions about the press releases to his brother, who told her that the releases would have to be written by her. Sherman complied.
According to the suit, the "haunted house was very profitable for Steve and/or Mark." Apparently, however, they weren't in the mood to share the wealth, because on December 4, haunted house director Phillip Rose called Clear Channel Broadcasting and told them he had several Papa John's banners that he would not surrender until Steve Kopelman paid him the wages he was due, the suit says. More than a month later, Rose still hadn't been paid and he still held the banners hostage, the suit says. Sherman says she forwarded the message to Mark Kopelman, who ignored the matter.
On January 13, Sherman again approached Abreu about the haunted house, with fateful results. Abreu emerges from the suit as something of a wild child. According to the suit, at an Enrique Iglesias concert, she was very drunk and very paranoid. In the presence of Sherman, she fretted that none of her underlings liked her, called one of the associates "a fat bitch" and forced Sherman to say, "I am not afraid of you and I love you," the suit says. When Sherman balked, Abreu became abusive and berated her until she complied, Sherman alleges.
One week previous to this meeting, the suit says, Abreu announced that she couldn't conduct the proceedings because she had gotten drunk at a raucous lunch with Kopelman, Martiny and Hilles, at which Kopelman handed out Rolexes to Abreu, Hilles and Martiny. Four days later, she left work early complaining about a hangover, the suit says.
And Sherman's suit says she could tell that Abreu had her third hangover of the last seven days on the 13th -- Abreu's office was dark save for a lamp, and she was wearing sunglasses. According to the suit, Abreu received her rudely -- she set up an egg timer in the shape of a pig and told Sherman to be quick. Sherman reiterated the hostage banner mess. She told Abreu that Papa John's wanted its banners back, that a Clear Channel client was being harmed financially because Steve Kopelman wouldn't pay Rose, and that in addition to all the money Clear Channel had spent on the project, they were now in danger of losing a solid client.
In her suit, Sherman says she handed Abreu printouts of all the e-mails regarding the banners. "I sent this to Mark Kopelman last week and he hasn't responded," she said. "I'm very concerned about this -- and I am concerned that my character may be on the line. It's a very sticky situation since it involves Steve -- and Steve won't pay the Director of the Haunted House yet, and the Director is holding Papa John's banners hostage -- and the company is holding the bag for Mark and Steve."
According to the suit, Abreu burned, yelling, "Shut up! I'm trying to read this!"
Moments later the volatile Abreu apologized. Her eyes still lowered as she read the e-mails, Abreu said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I got fucked up last night and am hurting because of it. Just let me read this in silence," the suit says.
Once done, Abreu demanded to know what Sherman was implying, the suit says. Sherman again stated her case in great detail. "Are you finished?" Abreu demanded. Sherman said she wasn't and expressed concern that the haunted house money wasn't even on the books. "Who has it, and when can I report it on my revenue?" she demanded. Abreu again asked her if she was done. Sherman said no and plowed on. The haunted house had been a big money-loser for Clear Channel, if not for one or both of the Kopelmans, she said. Only half of the 40,000 people they had expected had bought tickets. There had been a lot of complaints -- many said the only thing scary about the thing was its ticket price.
"We're going to be in the hole for another $360,000 in addition to the $2.6 million in donated advertising from Mark Kopelman," she said. "I don't want any part of this."
"Are you through?" Abreu asked for the third time, before adding ominously that "all your bitching doesn't make you look like a team player," the suit says.
Three days later Sherman was summoned to Martiny's office, where Martiny, Abreu and a woman from human resources awaited her. Seeing the HR staffer there, Sherman knew her time was up. She asked Abreu why she was being fired. "It is not going in the direction we want it to," Abreu said. Martiny said he was sorry as Sherman headed out the door. "Oh! And you have made mistakes which cost this company a lot of money!"
According to the suit, June Sherman is depressed, ill and virtually a recluse now in the home she shares with Marc, who is still the program director at Sunny 99. She can't discuss her case with him because she's afraid Clear Channel will fire him in vengeance. A hearing on the suit was scheduled for July 3.
Bigots "R" Us
According to the suit, minorities were treated very badly at Clear Channel Broadcasting's Houston offices. In January of last year at a general sales meeting, Martiny slammed his fist on the table, and indicating that he was referring to associate Angie Gonzales, said, "Would somebody please find this stupid fucking Mexican tickets to Luis Miguel so she can take a car full of Mexicans to the show and get off my back!" Later that year, Abreu referred to a former employee as "a typical black -- lazy."
The suit also alleges that at another general sales meeting, Martiny introduced new black associates Steve McNair and Pam McKay to the existing sales team. McNair got up and thanked his new co-workers for their support. "All right boy you can sit down now," Martiny said. "Yeah," chimed in Abreu, "you can shut your black face up now." Abreu was still chuckling long after the meeting. "Wasn't that funny with Steve?" she asked Sherman. Sherman said she didn't find it funny at all. "Well, what do you know -- you're Mexican," Abreu said.
The suit claims that there was also a little sexual harassment and Christian-bashing going on, too, as the following remarkable conversation reveals. Martiny livened up one meeting by commenting on Abreu's and Sherman's "big boobs." Abreu responded that she couldn't stop staring at Martiny's "dick." "Jesus Christ!" a no-doubt flattered Martiny responded. "Jesus? Jesus? There's no such thing as Jesus!" Abreu stated.

Butt-Skirts Become Real
You might remember the infamous 'Japanese Butt-Skirt Hoax,' in which pictures circulated around the internet showing Japanese women wearing skirts that supposedly had buttocks airbrushed onto them. The buttocks in those pictures were created via photoshop (i.e. they were painted on the photos, not the skirts), but a fashion designer has now been inspired to create real 'butt skirts.' Check them out at Alba D'Urbano Couture. (Warning: contains fake nudity. The women are wearing clothes, but the clothes themselves have pictures of naked bodies on them).

Netflix brings HTML5 video to OS X Yosemite
WWDC has proven to be the big event this week, introducing the latest iteration of Apple's operating system, known as OS X Yosemite -- yes the company has moved on from big cats, it did so with Mavericks.
One of the first to take advantage of this new platform is Netflix. The streaming video service is announcing it will bring HTML5 to Safari in the new operating system. "We're excited to announce that Netflix streaming in HTML5 video is now available in Safari on OS X Yosemite! We've been working closely with Apple to implement the Premium Video Extensions in Safari, which allow playback of premium video content in the browser without the use of plugins", says Netflix.
The announcement goes on to explain how much the company appreciates the new implementation, especially the Media Source Extensions that allow for full 1080p streaming without using up the CPU or draining the battery on a laptop. In fact, Netflix claims "this allows you to get up to 2 hours longer battery life on a MacBook Air streaming Netflix in 1080p -- that's enough time for one more movie".
The streaming service also gushes about the inclusion of Encrypted Media Extensions and Web Cryptography API, although didn't go into details about utilization of these.
This actually brings Safari onto par with Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1, which features the same capabilities. It also leads to a better experience for the customer, which is the real ultimate goal for any service.

Alex Kapranos
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Alex Kapranos (Greek: Άλεξ Καπράνος, born with the cheesey name of Alex Paul Huntley-Kapranos, 20 March 1972) is a UK based musician who is currently the lead singer and guitarist of mysterious, alternate, altercation-starting, comune Glasgow band Franz Ferdinand. He is also believed to be son of the Greek Goddess Hera.
edit Early years
Alex Kapranos grew up in the faraway land of Mongolia. Spending most of his life with his family in the main urban site of Ulaan Bataar, Kapranos exercised his interest in music. He started out playing the mandolin and eventually moved on to guitar. He got his first electric one on the eve of his twenty first birthday.
edit Life Before Franz Ferdinand
Kapranos began playing guitar at various Mongolian coffee shops. His pay would include a nice cherry snow cone and a packet of cheese crackers. He began playing nightly shows and on the weekends as well, in desperate seeking of more cherry snow cones to feed his soul.
edit The Start Of Something New
In September of 2000, as Kapranos was resting outside for a rare ice cream, a young man walked into him. This brief clash of bodies resulted to an ice cream cone on the floor and a very angry Kapranos. The two began to quarrel and Kapranos was reportedly on the verge of tears, since mocha was his allegedly "favorite flavor." They continued to shove each other and bicker until they were forced to take their fight elsewhere. The two found it no use and decided to settle the feud; the young man bought Kapranos another ice cream, and the two began discussing about his musical career.
edit Nick McCarthy
It turned out that the young man, by the name of Nick McCarthy, was also interested in pursuing a life in music. He had graduated with a major in anthropology and classical music studies at the Nerd School For Sad Children. He and Kapranos began writing songs together and the two would play at the coffee shop at evenings, earning their nightly desserts.
edit Paul Thomson
After a few months of working together with McCarthy, Kapranos phoned up his second cousin thrice removed, Paul Thomson. Kapranos asked him if he was interested in starting up a band. Thomson agreed and was soon put on drums. According to interviews and various sources, the trio would spend their afternoons stealing fudgesicles from kids at the ice cream truck. "At one point," Thomson said, "it was so goddamn out of control, Alex actually carjacked the truck and rode away with four-hundred popsicles and an ice cream maker." Thomson reportedly arrived promptly to play drums at practices and left early during public meetings with McCarthy and Kapranos.
edit Robert Hardy
Kapranos first encountered Bob Hardy when he was walking through the park in the early 1990's. "I was eleven or so," Hardy told reporters. "He asked me if I was going to finish my orange Creamsicle. I said yes and he shoved me and took it anyway. I didn't cry though. I didn't really show any emotion at all." Kapranos denies these allegations. Eventually, ten years later, they came across each other again during an art show. The two apparently were both interested in paintings. "I just think colors are cool. He kept going on and on and on about how 'revolutionary' it was. I was like, whatever," says Hardy. After the show, Kapranos asked Hardy if he'd like to play the bass, which Hardy kindly denied. He then coaxed him with a Klondike bar. Hardy picked up the bass in late 2001, and the band, Franz Ferdinand had formed.
edit Franz Ferdinand
Kapranos' role in the formation Franz Ferdinand is undeniably prominent. After about a year of playing at local spots in Mongolia, they soon were signed to a record deal and forced to live in Glasgow, Scotland. Currently, the band has gone through extreme commercial success with a whopping one song that everyone knows by them. They continue to influence a majority of the population in Ulaan Bataar and some various parts of South America. Kapranos has taken pride in his success, but humbly as well. When asked for a response to all the attention, Kapranos went on to explain about how down to earth the whole process was, but soon went off topic and was cut off air. Again, in 2007, attempts were made to ask him again, but was unable to make a comment due to reportedly being in a sugar coma as a result of eating forty-nine hot fudge sundaes within an hour and a half.

Upon a quick cursory glance, given an unlimited budget, you could easily drop about two grand on shoes releasing on December 31st alone, and that's without stretching the definition of "like" at all. (LeBron Xs and Air Max 90s and KD Vs, oh my.) For example, the Nike Air Max 1 OG release date is set for New Year's Eve day, and it's just about as must-have as can be.
In this case, "OG" means exactly what you think. The Running/Sportswear icon returns in its most familiar look, with inset white mesh on the upper set against overlaying neutral grey and university red completing an absolutely classic aesthetic. You can very easily make the case for this being one of the best shoes of all time. As such, expect a quick sell-out.

2015 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
Meaningful Efforts:
- Strengthened legal frameworks to expand minimum age protections for children.
- Improved criminal law enforcement in sectors where children are most vulnerable.
- Implemented social programs to address poverty, including conditional cash transfer programs.
Challenges and Existing Gaps:
- Weak legal frameworks in countries that do not specify the types of hazardous work prohibited for children.
- Insufficient human and financial resources allocated to the enforcement of child labor laws.
- Unequal access to education for minorities and other disadvantaged children.
Regional statistics on child labor do not exist for Europe and Eurasia. However, children in Europe and Eurasia are engaged in child labor, predominantly in agriculture and street work. Children are also engaged in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation and forced begging, each sometimes as a result of human trafficking. In 2015, 1 of the 20 countries covered in the report received an assessment of Significant Advancement: Montenegro. Countries in the region made meaningful efforts to implement social programs to address poverty, including conditional cash transfer programs, strengthened legal frameworks to expand minimum age protections for children, and improved criminal law enforcement in sectors where children are most vulnerable. Despite these gains, exploitive child labor persisted due to gaps in hazardous work prohibitions, inadequate resources allocated to the enforcement of child labor laws, and unequal access to education for minorities and other disadvantaged children. In addition, three countries—Armenia, Georgia, and Ukraine—made meaningful efforts in a few or more relevant areas, but failed to remedy a regressive or significantly detrimental law that was established in previous years that delayed advancement in eliminating the worst forms of child labor. Armenia and Georgia's previous repeal of laws establishing a labor inspectorate left these countries continuing to lack a functioning labor inspectorate to monitor, inspect, and enforce child labor laws, and Ukraine introduced by law bureaucratic restrictions on the State Labor Service that effectively imposed a moratorium on inspections, including for child labor.
During the year, new efforts were made in three countries to collect statistics on child labor and expand minimum age protections for children. Both Armenia and Georgia conducted National Child Labor Surveys and Ukraine analyzed the data collected during a 2014 survey. Countries also made efforts to strengthen laws related to child labor. Albania raised the minimum age for light work from 14 to 15, and both Armenia and Turkey introduced legislation regulating children's work in the entertainment industry. In addition, several countries strengthened protections against the worst forms of child labor in their criminal codes. Bosnia and Herzegovina increased penalties for human traffickers, while Macedonia increased the minimum sentence for individuals paying for the services of child victims of trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation. In addition, Moldova expanded the powers of the Ombudsman for Children's Rights to monitor the legislative process and appeal legislative proposals that could be damaging to children's rights.
In 2015, European and Eurasian governments also took steps to target law enforcement efforts in sectors where children were most vulnerable. Several governments accomplished this by focusing criminal law enforcement efforts on identifying and assisting children involved in street work. Law enforcement agencies in Kosovo and Moldova conducted nation-wide operations to identify child beggars who were victims of human trafficking. Similarly, Macedonian police and social workers worked together in mobile patrols to remove 78 children from street work and refer them to social services. A number of governments in the region also built the capacity of their law enforcement mechanisms to address the needs of children. The Government of Montenegro trained prosecutors and social workers on addressing child trafficking and child begging. Law enforcement and judicial officials in Albania received training on working with children in the justice system, including protecting child victims and investigating and prosecuting criminal offences against children. More than 100 judges in Ukraine also received training on working with victims of human trafficking and child labor, including procedures on protecting victims and witnesses, and understanding the vulnerability of victims.
A few governments in the region launched policies to protect children from the worst forms of child labor. Both Bosnia and Ukraine adopted national action plans to improve the prevention and prosecution of human trafficking crimes, as well as the provision of services to trafficking victims. Albania also developed the Action Plan for the Identification and Protection of Children in Street Situations, which defines the roles of various government agencies in preventing the exploitation and abuse of children working on the street. Recognizing that economic instability leaves children more vulnerable to the worst forms of child labor, many countries in the region also supported social programs to address poverty in 2015. Macedonia and Serbia both supported a conditional cash transfer program for vulnerable children in schools, while Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kosovo, and Moldova provided financial assistance to low-income families. Georgia and Ukraine also provided non-financial incentives, such as free textbooks and lunches, to keep low-income students in schools.
There are a number of challenges that impede progress in addressing child labor in the region. Anguilla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the British Virgin Islands, Montenegro, Serbia, and Ukraine do not have laws that clearly and comprehensively define the types of hazardous work prohibited for children, which limits the capacity of labor inspectors to identify and remove children from exploitative labor situations. In Azerbaijan, children without written labor contracts are excluded from protection and, similarly, in Turkey, legal protection for children working in small agricultural enterprises and shops, and in domestic work, is lacking.
There are also challenges related to the enforcement of child labor laws in Europe and Eurasia. The number of labor inspectors in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Ukraine is insufficient to provide adequate labor force coverage according to the ILO's recommendation.[1] Labor inspectorates in Kosovo, Moldova, and Serbia lack funding for training, equipment, and transportation for inspectors, which compromises the quality of inspections. Georgia has lacked a mechanism to enforce child labor laws since its labor inspectorate was abolished in 2006, and a pilot labor monitoring program established in 2015 did not include child labor violations within its purview. In Ukraine, bureaucratic restrictions requiring that the State Labor Service seek formal approval from the Cabinet of Ministers before conducting most inspections effectively imposed a moratorium on inspections in 2015. Similarly, following the Government of Armenia's restructuring of its labor inspectorate into the State Health Inspectorate in 2014, confusion surrounding the mandate of the agency resulted in a moratorium on inspections in 2015, leaving Armenia without a mechanism to enforce child labor laws.
Across the region, refugee and migrant children; children who have been internally displaced; and children who belong to ethnic minority groups, such as the Roma, continued to experience challenges in accessing education. Roma children lacking birth registration or identity documents in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Ukraine were sometimes prevented from enrolling in schools. In Turkey, despite the Government's efforts to expand education access for school-aged Syrian refugees, many refugee children living in urban areas remained unable to access education due to language barriers or an inability to pay for tuition and transportation to school. Irregular migrants and asylum-seeking children, many of whom are Syrian, also faced difficulties enrolling in schools in Serbia. Other common barriers to education in Europe and Eurasia include discrimination, lack of support for children with disabilities, and distance to schools. Children who do not attend school are particularly vulnerable to exploitation in the worst forms of child labor.
[1] For one country, information on the number of labor inspectors was unknown. For three territories, which do not have a child labor problem, this information is not reported.

Kerry probably does have some sympathy for Assad, but he's not really calling the shots and everyone knows it. What matters is what Obama tells Cameron, not what Kerry says at a press conference.
Let's start with the second question, first.
Mostly it doesn't. Kerry proved he was the world's biggest sucker by giving up his senate seat for the Secretary of State job. Hillary Clinton, in true Clinton style, purveyed her miserable tenure into the top spot in the 2016 election primaries. But it's doubtful that Kerry has the same plans. If he does, then his timing is spectacularly poor. Term 2 cabinet members are rarely known to shine and more likely to get the blame.
But none of that matters.
What does matter is that the Secretary of State has amazingly little power under Obama. If Susan Rice had gotten the gig, that might have changed, but since she didn't, it didn't.
Hillary Clinton was kept out of the loop and had very little influence while the foreign policy machine ran out of the White House. Kerry is likely to have just as little influence, if not less. Even his own party stopped taking Kerry seriously after his 2004 loss. When he made his quip about American soldiers in Iraq, there were strong suggestions that he needed to shut up and stop sabotaging the Democratic Party.
Kerry probably does have some sympathy for Assad, but he's not really calling the shots and everyone knows it. What matters is what Obama tells Cameron, not what Kerry says at a press conference. The latter makes headlines, the former moves things forward.
Kerry told reporters Tuesday, "The world wants to stop the killing (in Syria). And we want to be able to see Assad and the Syrian opposition come to the table for the creation of a transitional government
Syria's state-run media senses an American volte-face in Assad's favor. Champress, for instance, declares ecstatically, "American body blow to the Turkish-Gulfite alliance: Kerry wants President Assad and the opposition to sit at the negotiation table."
On the other side of the political divide, the Saudi newspaper of records Asharq Alawsat sounds downbeat, with its front-page banner announcing, "American position veers towards a 'dialogue' between the opposition and Assad."
Kerry's statement that Assad should participate in transitional negotiations is not as radical as it sounds. The United States has been pushing all along for Assad to agree to exit negotiations. This is however different than Kerry's implication that Assad would have a role in shaping the new government, but that's only an implication
And that doesn't matter either.
Obama Inc. has its hands tied on Syria. On the one hand, the UK is predictably pushing for more aggressive measures. On the other, even Obama Inc. appears to have realized that deeper intervention in Syria will be a disaster and that the rebels are generally untrustworthy. Its preferred mode of action is inaction.
And that leaves Kerry free to make all kinds of meaningless noises at international events.

Date is a very nutritive fruit. It has lots of natural vitamins and is rich in iron and fiber. It is heart healthy, treats anemia, helps digestion and cures constipation.
Taking into account all this, I went ahead and made Date and Cashew Burfi.
Its really simple to make and the best part is that you can do everything in a microwave!!
Soak about 20-25 dates in milk (just enough to cover them) for 2 hours. After that cook them in the microwave for 4-5 mins and cool. Puree them in a mixer along with the milk they were soaked in. Mix together 1/4th cup broken cashews and a 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk. I used sweetened condensed milk, but you can add unsweetened version too if you prefer or want to make this sweet for a diabetic person.
Put it in a microwave safe container and microwave it on full power for 3-4 mins at one time. Repeat this process, stirring the contents each time till the consistency is very thick. (If you prefer to cook it on a gas stove, its ok too).
After microwaving it for about 15 minutes, roll a little bit between your fingers, it should not stick and it should form a ball. If it does continue to cook till you get this consistency.
Grease a plate with ghee (clarified butter) and set the burfi. Put the dish in the refrigerator after it cools down for about an hour. Cut the burfi in desired shape and roll it in dry dessicated coconut powder. This way the burfi pieces do not stick to each other.
Keep refrigerated. Should last at least for a month. My kiddos finished everything within a week!
This was our Diwali Faral, posting it a little late, but hey, better late than never :)

Articles this week explore the benefits of wearable technology in field service and how fleet managers face ever-increasing challenges keeping drivers connected to their networks.
Wearable Technology Could Mean Big Savings To Field Service Industry
While wearable technology continues to gain ground in the workplace, Forbes said that field service roles are poised to experience the greatest benefit from the services, particularly smart glasses. Smart glasses with augmented reality and head-mounted cameras can increase the efficiency of technicians, engineers, and other workers in field service, potentially increasing profits by $1 billion annually. The ability to diagnose and fix problems quickly, without the assistance of additional on-site experts will bring the greatest savings.
Fleet Managers Face Ever-Expanding Demand For Connectivity
Commercial Carrier Journal said that connectivity is complicated within the fleet management space because of issues surrounding security, compensation, reliability and private versus consumer devices. As commercial platforms move quickly to develop technology to support job-related conveniences, like reserve parking spots, fleet managers need to decipher the best ways to ensure connectivity.
Field Service IT Talking Points
In Fleet Owner, Sean Kilcarr takes on "A partnership for cutting carbon – and saving fuel." The argument claims that cutting carbon emissions goes hand-in-hand with efforts to improve fuel efficiency.
Additionally, Fleet Owner reports that the WheelTime Network will help spur the wider adoption of "dual-fuel" truck technology developed by American Power Group. Dual-fuel technology operates on both natural gas and diesel, which cuts down on fuel expenses and addresses refueling and range concerns.

Ovidiu Predescu continues the discussion on Java Syntactic Extensions: " Instead of proposing just some minor syntactic sugars to the Java syntax, it should try to extend the language in such a way that allows unlimited extensibility of the syntax by means of macros."
I agree with Ovidiu, however I would propose something less dramatic. We can break up the proposal into 2 issues, how to specify a macro and what can be specified. The first issue, that is the syntax for defining a macro, is something that will take long debate and experimentation. That is how should we do code quotes, or pattern matching, what would be the form of the syntax tree and a lot more issues. The implementation details of which will also need to be addressed by a followup on JSR-199 (i.e. Java Compiler API).
However, the second issue, what syntax can be extended, is something we can agree upon fairly quickly. The JSE allowed a restricted set of syntactic forms that could be modified. These were either of the form name(…) or clause clause … where clause was either name … ; or name { … }. So clearly there needs to be some serious discussion as to what syntax change will be allowed.
Once we understand what can be change, we have the issue of name space pollution. I've written about this earlier [see], anytime you introduce a new keyword, you risk breaking older code. The current proposal for extending the "for" statement circumvents this problem by not choosing to add keywords like "foreach" and "in", however it's at the expense of readability. We should not have to sacrifice readability to maintain compatibility. Therefore, we do need a namespace mechanism for keywords.
One final thought, most of the interesting Macro examples seem to be syntactic sugar on top of control flow constructs (i.e. foreach, when, using, asserts). The other kind seems to be more like short hand for structure (i.e. enum, property) and short hand for invocation (autoboxing, unqualified constants). Finally, operator overloading may be another kind of syntax extension. I don't believe JSE addresses autoboxing, unqualified constants or operator overloading.

Robb Walsh's 100 Favorite Houston Dishes: #94 Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cake Ball at Coffee Groundz on Bagby
Over the course of the next few months, I'm counting down 100 of my favorite Houston dishes. I chose some because they are such quintessential Houston creations, others for their cultural or historical significance, and others because they are just so damn tasty. Share your own nominations in the comments.
#94 Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cake Ball at Coffee Groundz on Bagby
The chocolate peanut butter cake ball at Coffee Groundz looks like an airy doughnut hole, but in fact it's an incredibly dense little ball of moist cake coated in a candy-like icing. The bakery that supplies Coffee Groundz is K&M Cake Ball Company in Conroe, one of several Conroe cake ball makers. Evidently this is a hot trend in Dallas, and we are playing cake ball catch-up down here.
The cake balls are one of several innovative coffee side orders at Coffee Groundz, Midtown's coolest espresso bar. The Trentino gelatos are outstanding. Try the dulce de leche flavor -- the caramel ice cream is streaked with dribbles of chocolate that taste like the outside of an ice cream bar. Just the thing to go with your cake ball.
The list to date: #100: Green Chile Chicken Kebabs at Chatkhara Grill #99: The All-Day Burrito at Cherry Top Bakery #98: "You Buy We Fry" Trout Basket at Hank's Fish Market #97: Chicharron de Barriga at La Michoacana Meat Market # 10 #96: Pakistani Breakfast at Kings Chicken #95: Fried Mojarra at Taqueria Jesus Maria

Chocolate Salami Recipe
- Take the cookies and break them into small pieces.
- Cut walnuts or pecans into small pieces.
- In a small, non-stick pot add cocoa and sugar and mix together. Add egg and melted butter. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 3-4 minutes, add the crushed cookies and nuts, mix well. The mixture should be thick.
- Take parchment paper, and cut into a rectangle, just enough for the mixture to fit. Take a piece of butter and rub the top of the parchment paper (this prevents the mixture from sticking to the paper).
- Add the mixture from the pot on to the parchment paper and roll it in the form of a sausage. Twist the ends so that it holds its shape.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving. Once ready to serve, slice it like salami and enjoy!

I had a mini tummy tuck in April 2006. I had a major setback with a infection. My doctor said I had a reaction to the type of suture used. He removed the sutures and place disposible sutures, six months later. 3 years later I am having the complication with the sutures. Major inflamation, but white blood cell are in range 8.6. The only meds that work for pain are the anti-inflamatory ones.
Results were not good at first, I had extreme pain from a saf infection. Tummy has always been sensitive even after the second surgery. Then I was hospitlized this week. My body is rejecting the sutures. Sutures used were Ethibond.Need advice

Over the years we have reviewed many of Tamron's All-in-One Zoom lenses. Once again Tamron succeeds in bringing a versatile and quality lens to photographers everywhere with the new Tamron 18-270mm.
Tamron's newest 18-270mm lens is not only the world's lightest, but it can also brag about being the smallest 15x zoom optimized for use on DSLR cameras.
Tamron has turned out all-in-one zoom lenses for years and the Tamron 18-270mm is another award-winning success. Improving upon their successful technologies while adding new engineering breakthroughs has produced a lens that delivers faster, quieter precision autofocusing. This is critical for any level of photographer.
Tamron's exclusive VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization, eliminates camera shake resulting in sharper images. Tamron VC allows you to go without a tripod at as many as four shutter speeds slower than otherwise possible giving you crisp and sharp handheld photos.
You can go from a beautiful bouquet of roses to a stunning close-up showing the rich texture and details of an individual flower. Both images are sharp and the color saturation is equally impressive and consistent.
The series of dog photos shows how you can quickly and easily work a subject just by adjusting the powerful 18-270mm zoom lens…

Discussion in 'Book, Magazine, Gallery Reviews, Shows & Contests' started by Aggie, Sep 17, 2003.
If you can make up some sort of advertisement with info about the magazine and how to support it, then I can print off a good number of them and see if I can leave them at my local camera store for their customers. They slip these sorts of things in the bag when you purchase something or leave it on the counter by the register for one to pick up at their leisure.
A notice I could send to my camera club members would be an easy thing to get out. A link to a public information page would be great.
going along with the above, I too could annouce this to my students and see that the word gets around at the local camera stoes.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
San Antonio, TX, United States, 2006/03/27 - As competition revs up in the automotive industry, automation and software vendors are expected to partner with their automotive customers to help them achieve operational efficiency..
The Industrial Automation and Electronics group at Frost & Sullivan will host an analyst briefing teleconference on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 at 1 p.m. EST.
As competition revs up in the automotive industry, automation and software vendors are expected to partner with their automotive customers to help them achieve operational efficiency. Faced with a host of regulatory compliance issues, automotive manufacturers look towards automation and software vendors to enable production and monitoring of high quality products at lower costs on a global platform.
Highlights of the briefing will include: an analysis of the automation and software market for the automotive industry, market opportunities and market growth factors.
Even as GM and Ford announce widespread restructuring over the next few years, automation vendors can take comfort from the fact that Asian automakers are building more plants and ramping up capacity in parts of North America, says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Sanjeev Sridharan. With a lot of automotive manufacturers and suppliers looking at low-cost regions in Asia and Eastern Europe, the demand for automation and software seems to be coming from the booming automotive market of China.
This briefing will benefit automation and software vendors, automation resellers, system integrators and IT service providers.
Those interested in participating in the interactive teleconference should send an email to Tori Foster Corporate Communications at tori.foster[.]frost.com with the following information: full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state and country. The registration details will be emailed to you upon receipt of the above information.

Just tried it again and you're right it does create the epub file correctly just crashes out when finished by the look of it. I see what you mean about the formatting improvements, it's only a little thing but it does look better. I feel really stupid for not trying that now, I honestly don't know why I didn't. I suppose it was one of those cases of a blanked mind cause I've never used php before so I didn't even try any of the simple troubleshooting steps first, DOH.
Thanks for the tip about the output name I only read completed stories so that will be the best option for me. I've actually tried two versions of your epub.codec.php just in case that was the problem and to be completely honest i now have no idea which one I'm actually using but I'm not gonna touch it while it works.
Thanks for all your help it really is appreciated.

Mosso Press Release
Mosso Powers TEEN CHOICE 2008 for Its Largest Awards Ceremony in Five Years
Hello Interactive Scales Pop Culture Awards Show Application on Mosso's Infinitely Scalable Cloud
SAN ANTONIO – September 22, 2008 – Rackspace® (NYSE:RAX) Hosting's cloud division Mosso®, today announced that interactive design firm Hello Interactive successfully deployed Mosso's flagship product, The Hosting Cloud™, to host FOX 2008 Teen Choice Awards program held earlier this summer on Sunday, August 3.
Since 1999, the star-studded program has recognized the year's biggest achievements in music, movies, sports, and television, as voted on by teens aged 13-19. Winners in the more than 70 categories are awarded with life-size surfboards. Running on Mosso's cloud, Hello Interactive's site helped this year's awards program to increase audience participation to more than four times last year.
With more than 34.5 million votes processed in real time over the course of only a few weeks, the Teen Choice Awards site needed to be very flexible-able to scale quickly to handle traffic spikes after various promotions from FOX, MySpace, and other companies. For example, the day prior to the award ceremony, the site had more than 225,000 visitors, an increase of more than 500 percent over the previous day.
"We'd been working to get the Teen Choice Awards project for several years," said Michael Wilhite founder of Hello Interactive. "When we won it this year, the stakes were very high, both from the design, and performance and scalability standpoint. Mosso helped us exceed expectations on all fronts-the Hosting Cloud scaled seamlessly. We saved so much time that the team could dedicate those extra hours to doing what we do best, making the a great website."
Using Mosso's Hosting Cloud, Hello Interactive was able to handle the traffic fluctuations seamlessly, and provide up-to-the-minute voting updates to industry executives, talent agents, and other parties seeking information about the standing of participating celebrities. In fact, the site performed so well that FOX has indicated that it will continue to use Hello Interactive for other upcoming projects.
Wilhite learned of Mosso through a blog post, and said he was immediately hooked. "I had previously used other providers, but they were difficult to use and unable to meet my needs." said Wilhite. "We selected The Hosting Cloud for several reasons, including: the easy-to-use Control Panel; the ability to bill clients directly through Mosso; the 24/7/365 support from experts in the technologies used by Hello Interactive; and Mosso's Rackspace connection. We also use Rackspace's hosted email solution, Noteworthy®, and the combined solution was a perfect fit for our fast growth needs."
"Extreme traffic fluctuations are characteristic of entertainment websites, which experience huge spikes during promotions on the days immediately preceding the event-it is practically impossible to predict patterns," said Jonathan Bryce, Mosso co-founder. "These kinds of sites make up the majority of Hello Interactive's projects. The challenges they present are Mosso's sweet spot, and we were able to provide them with the scalability, cost structure and support needed in order to help ensure a seamless client experience, every time."
A large majority of Hello Interactive's clients are in the entertainment space. Before using the Hosting Cloud, the company had to provision dedicated servers to ensure performance, which was not as cost effective, given the types of projects the company normally runs. Now, it can deploy a site in minutes and pay only for what it uses at any given time. Mosso has helped Hello Interactive not only save money, but also achieve better performance.
The company is also using Mosso to host the upcoming 2008 Tour of Gymnastics Superstars, a tour that showcases the stars of the US Olympic team in cities across the nation.

BFGoodrich heads for Siberia
The second edition of the Rallye Transsyberia will run from July 11 until July 25, 2008, via a route of more than 7,000km stretching between Moscow and the Mongolian capital Ulan Bator. The American tyre brand BFGoodrich will be a partner of the specially-prepared Porsche Cayenne Ss entered for this unique competition.
After conquering the dusty trails of the American continent, traversing the sands of northwest Africa and triumphing in Europe's top all-terrain competitions, BFGoodrich is to turn its attention to the challenge of the Siberian taiga and the Mongolian Steppe.
Organised for the first time in 2007, the Rallye Transsyberia is open to production 4x4 vehicles which have been specifically reinforced to soak up the punishing terrain and conditions. The inaugural event was won by famed New Zealand rally driver and former winner of the USA's Pikes Peak hill -climb, Rod Millen, in a Porsche Cayenne S.
This year again, the German carmaker will be out in force with a field of 20 or so Porsche Cayenne Ss when the rally sets off from in front of the Kremlin on July 11. All these cars will contest the event on BFGoodrich All-Terrain 265/65 R18 R tyres, a product acclaimed for its strength and performance both on-road and over the planet's most gruelling tracks.
"We are delighted and proud to be associated with such a prestigious brand as Porsche on this adventure. It promises to a difficult but also very exciting two weeks," says BFGoodrich Competition Director Frederic Henry -Biabaud. "The strength and ability of BFGoodrich's tyres combined with the qualities of the Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia will be a major asset across the wide open spaces of Siberia en route to Ulan Bator."
The Rallye Transsyberia 2008 will start from Moscow's Red Square on July 11 before heading east across the Ural Mountains. Competitors will consequently skirt the border with Kazakhstan to Siberia's principal city, Novosibirsk. Following a rest-day in Olgii, Mongolia, they will then tackle the Mongolian Steppe to the finish in Ulan Bator.
The 7,000km route is divided into 14 legs and the provisional entry list already features some 30 crews, including two familiar names from world class rallying - Armin Schwarz and Martin Rowe - and the winner of the Marathon category of the 2006 FIA Cross-Country Rally World Cup, Frenchman Christian Lavieille.

Know the pros and cons of your procedure and do your research. Although Buccal Fat removal isn't popularly advised by surgeons--I decided to go with it since all of my elder aunts had saggy pocket cheeks despite being slim.
I've always wanted a procedure done that would remove the fat, but I wanted to wait until I was older to see if it would dissipate on its own. When it didn't, I researched doctors in L.A. who were certified and who could do the procedure under local since I react terribly under GA (unearthed this mystery from my wisdom teeth removal). I'm a month post-op and couldn't be happier.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Gypsy, a Acworth Bengal cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bengal for sale in Acworth, or seeking a Bengal cat from a breeder in Acworth.

Have you ever used one of these? It is the best loader I have seen. Bought two of these and they work as advertised. Hands down the easiest and the best. Can load a 30 round mag in a matter of seconds.:D
I have both the LULA and StripLULA. Got the LULA first and was impressed.
Then I saw the StripLULA and had to try it. I rarely use my LULA anymore.
I recommend both loaders to assist the loading and unloading of your mags.
They both work as advertised and worth every penny spent. Either is on sale somewhere most anytime, just Google it.
But if you're anything like me, get the StripLULA!
