NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks ended mostly lower on Friday after a report showed the economy expanded at a slower pace than expected in the first quarter and a gauge of consumer sentiment fell in April.
However, gains for Hewlett-Packard Co. and Chevron Corp. helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average finish in positive territory.
The S&P 500 index SPX, +1.44% fell 2.92 points, or 0.2%, to end at 1,582.24 after hitting an intraday low of 1,577.56. The benchmark snapped a five-session winning streak Friday, but it posted weekly gains of 1.7%.
The technology and consumer staples sectors were the only gainers among the S&P 500's 10 major industry groups, while materials was the worst performing sector. See: 14 cheap dividend stocks for a cheap market.

The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.67% dropped 10.72 points, or 0.3%, to end at 3,279.26, leaving it up 2.3% for the week.
"What's happening today is a little bit of jitters on the economic front and a little bit of jitters on the earnings front," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of Sarhan Capital. Investors are also growing more concerned over a steeper-than-expected downturn in Europe, he said.
More than 681 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Composite volume topped 3.1 billion.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.20% rose 11.75 points, or 0.1%, to end at 14,712.55, leaving it up 1.1% for the week.
Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, +2.42% rose 1.9%, leading gainers in the 30-stock blue-chip index.
Chevron Corp. CVX, +0.04% was another gainer in the Dow, rising 1.3%. The oil major said its first-quarter earnings fell to $6.2 billion, or $3.18 per share, from $6.5 billion, or $3.27 a share, in the same period a year ago, but the results still exceeded analyst expectations.
Alcoa Inc. AA, +3.55% and United Technologies Corp. UTX, +1.06% were the biggest decliners in the Dow, dropping 1.4% and 1%, respectively.
The Commerce Department said before the opening bell that gross domestic product grew at a 2.5% pace in the first three months of 2013, up from 0.4% in the fourth quarter. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast GDP growth of 3.2%. See: Breaking down the GDP report in charts.
"The disappointment will push back expectations of when the Fed will start to withdraw its stimulus, especially as recent data suggest the rate of growth could weaken again in the second quarter," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, referring to the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program, which is aimed at boosting economic growth and lowering unemployment. The Federal Open Market Committee is due to hold a meeting on monetary policy on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it's expected to keep its bond buying unchanged at $85 billion a month.
Shortly after Friday's opening bell, the University of Michigan-Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment gauge fell to a final April reading of 76.4, the lowest since January, from a final March reading of 78.6. Economists had expected it to be even lower.
Gains for Apple Inc. helped the S&P 500 pare losses in late trading. Shares of the iPhone maker AAPL, +2.36% rallied 2.2%, leaving it up 6.8% for the week. The company has a large weighting in the S&P 500 and therefore its moves have a big impact on the index. This week, Apple reported first-quarter earnings above expectations and said it was raising its dividend and adding $50 billion to its share-buyback program.
Among other individual stock moves, PerkinElmer Inc. PKI, +2.08% was the top decliner in the S&P 500, sinking 12% after the maker of health-testing equipment lowered its full-year outlook.
Expedia Inc. shares EXPE, +1.42% slumped nearly 10% after the online travel site said its first-quarter loss widened. Read about Expedia and other stocks making big moves in Friday trading.
Shares of Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +0.93% fell 7.2% as the e-commerce group said late Thursday it may report a second-quarter operating loss.
J.C. Penney Co. JCP, +3.88% rallied nearly 12%, making it the top gainer in the S&P 500 after hedge-fund investor George Soros reported a 7.9% stake in the struggling retailer.
D.R. Horton Inc. DHI, +1.66% shares jumped nearly 9% after the company posted a surge in fiscal second-quarter profit and a 34% rise in orders.
Sarhan Capital's Sarhan noted that 70% of companies that have reported so far have beaten expectations, and earnings are on track to come in 1.1% lower versus the first quarter of 2012.
"If that happens, it'll be the first annual decline on a year-on-year basis since 2009," he said.

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL: The Masa program participants were addressed by the Israeli Minister of the Economy, Naftali Bennett, and Chairman of Executive of The Jewish Agency for Israel, Natan Sharansky. They also participated in a panel discussion with the outstanding Israeli sportsmen and women Ariel "Arik" Ze'evi, Karen Leibowitz, and Andi Ram.
Olympic medalist, judoka Arik Ze'evi said, "After a year in Israel, you will be the best ambassadors for our country."
Naftali Bennett, Minister of the Economy said: "I salute those of you who are planning on making Aliyah. We need every one of you. For those of you that are planning to return home, I am certain that after a year here, the State of Israel will remain close to your hearts and that you will continue to visit us."
Natan Sharansky held an open dialogue with the students during which he told them: "Masa participants discover their roots while visiting Israel and they discover that the Jewish people is one family. It is very important to us that you feel part of our family and that you represent us upon your return home."
The event also marked a landmark accomplishment: an estimated one million volunteer hours contributed by Masa participants to the State of Israel every year. All 200 Masa programs, from internship experiences to academic opportunities and everything in between, include volunteerism and social action among their core elements.
Masa Israel Journey is a joint project of Government of Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel. Its aim is to strengthen the connection between young Jews around the world and the State of Israel. Participants spend 5-10 months in Israel and can choose from a wide range of programs involving volunteer work, studying or professional internships. Over 10,000 young Jews from 60 countries participate in Masa programs each year. Upon their return to their home countries, many graduates become involved with their local Jewish communities and become ambassadors for Israel.

Tanzanian government to control unscrupulous seed dealers
The Tanzanian government say it would no longer tolerate any unscrupulous seed dealers in the country, promising stern measures especially against those distributing fake hybrid seeds.
The warning was issued at the weekend here by Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives minister Prof Jumanne Maghembe at the official opening of a one-day meeting organised by the Tanzania Seed Traders Association (Tasta).
He said all seed dealers are required to register their companies in a bid to promote traceability in case of any fault. The Minister advised seed dealers to support the government as interested parties in fighting against dishonest traders cashing in on seed dealing.
"Severe punishment will be taken against all the culprits and seed dealers found guilty of dealing in fake cash and food crop seeds," Prof Maghembe noted.
He further said that the growth and sophistication of fake seed grain was posing a serious food security risk to the country, which has recently made significant gains in the agricultural sector.
According to him, some dealers were taking advantage of unsuspecting farmers and selling them fake seeds, which affected the yield negatively. The Minister said agricultural productivity has been as low as 12.5 per cent as a result of fake seeds, among other factors.
Meanwhile, Prof Maghembe said that the government also was in a process of enacting a law that would facilitate liberalisation of seed production in the country.
"The new law has already been read for the first time in the just ended parliamentary meeting and I hope it will be passed in the November Parliament meeting," noted the Minister.
Minister warned the players in the seed industry that even if the sector would be liberalised, they need to bear in mind that national food security was paramount and the farmers' yields should not be compromised.
Tasta executive director Bob Shuma commended the government for coming up with a legislation which, among others things, would facilitate the liberalisation of the seed industry.
"This will enable us, seed dealers, and producers to export…something which we have been waiting for a many years," he explained.
Recent estimates by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, show that annual requirements for quality seed stands at 100,000 tons. The estimates also show that over 90 per cent of the Tanzanian farmers use recycled seeds.

Global Warming Effect
The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren't waiting for some far-flung future. They're happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it's also shifting precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move.
Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening.
* Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth's poles. This includes mountain ...view middle of the document...
* Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees.
Other effects could happen later this century, if warming continues.
* Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 and 59 centimeters) by the end of the century, and continued melting at the poles could add between 4 and 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters).
* Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger.
* Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example, plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active.
* Floods and droughts will become more common. Rainfall in Ethiopia, where droughts are already common, could decline by 10 percent over the next 50 years.
* Less fresh water will be available. If the Quelccaya ice cap in Peru continues to melt at its current rate, it will be gone by 2100, leaving thousands of people who rely on it for drinking water and electricity without a source of either.
* Some diseases will spread, such as malaria carried by mosquitoes.
* Ecosystems will change—some species will move farther north or become more successful; others won't be able to move and could become extinct. Wildlife research scientist Martyn Obbard has found that since the mid-1980s, with less ice on which to live and fish for food, polar bears have gotten considerably skinnier. Polar bear biologist Ian Stirling has found a similar pattern in Hudson Bay. He fears that if sea ice disappears, the polar bears will as well.

Composer Lance Hulme has a multi-faceted career as keyboardist, conductor, arranger and educator. His music has been performed throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia and has garnered both critical and audience acclaim. Recordings of his music include compact disk releases on the Albany, Bridge, LiveNotes, Ablaze and Métier labels (see Recordings).
Critics have described Hulme as a "chameleon composer" (Gilles Quental) whose musical oeuvre encompasses a "wide range" (Knowing the Score) of musical genres and styles. His music "cannot be pigeon-holed into one compositional school" (Die Badische Neueste Nachrichten) but rather draws upon the diverse elements of his musical experience to "weave a rich expressive texture." (Die Rheinpfalz Zeitung) He "reflects the ambience and musical approach of the North American musical tradition. Compositional eclecticism, a conscience, playful and uninhibited attitude with tradition and the crossover between 'serious' and vernacular music. All these elements are to be found as well as the most advanced structural and aural techniques" (Die Rheinpfalz Zeitung).
Hulme's music has won many awards including Grand Prize, International Witold Lutoslawski Composition Competition, 1st Prize, ASCAP/Rudolf Nissim Prize, Grand Prize, International Trumpet Guild Composition Competition and awards from the Composición Musical Cuitat de Tarragona, Citta di Trieste Orchestra Competition and the Ladislav Kubik Composition Competition. Notable performances and commissions include Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Southern German Radio, the State Theater of Baden, the State Orchestra of Magdeburg, West German Radio, the Karlsruhe University Chorus, the Raschèr Saxophone Orchestra, Quattro Mani, the Henschell Quartet and others. His compositions have been presented at ISCM, Warsaw Autumn and Aspen Summer festivals. He has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony and was awarded a two-year Fulbright Grant to Austria.
Lance Hulme studied at the Yale University School of Music (DMA, MMA), the Eastman School of Music (MM) and the University of Minnesota (BM) and he also studied at the Universität für Musik in Vienna, Austria.
From the beginning, Lance Hulme pursued an eclectic musical career encompassing many different aspects of music-making. His first conducting appearance was the premiere of a piece written for his high school orchestra. Throughout his undergraduate study of classical composition, Lance Hulme played keyboards in various jazz and pop groups, wrote and directed musicals and stage music and transcribed and arranged music for other performers. An interim period followed where he was keyboardist for the jazz-fusion band Dreamscape and was associated with the then Minnesota Composers Forum. Following graduate study, he went to Vienna, Austria on a Fulbright Grant, staying in Europe for seventeen years (Hulme's wife is mezzo-soprano Clara O'Brien). During that time, he co-founded and directed Ensemble Surprise, an eclectic chamber ensemble which featured "700 years of new music", of which he was the "Rector Spiritus who knows exactly what to do with such an ensemble". (Die Rheinpfalz) He also worked as a freelance musician, arranger and transcriber for a wide variety of ensembles and individuals and taught at various institutions. As pianist, he has been described as "a carefully prepared virtuoso". (Die Badische Neueste Nachrichten)
In 2003, an offer to teach brought Dr. Hulme back to the U.S. and he is currently professor at North Carolina Central University where he directs the music theory, aural skills and composition program. He also on the faculty for the NCCU FabLab and assists in the music industry, applied voice and piano programs. His theory and aural skills curriculum, "Basic Training in Music Skills", is available through his publishing company, In Pegno Music (see Education). His latest project is a new concert series, À la carte, which presents music from a wide variety of genres, styles and epochs. Information about À la carte can be found at www.alcgreensboro.com
Hulme's interests also include music technology, both as composer and educator. He was teaching assistant in the Center for Studies in Music Technology (CSMT) at Yale University and a long-time guest artist at the Center for Art and Technology (ZKM). His compositions using computers have been presented in many venues including interactive collaborations with choreographers and visual artists. Most recently, he has worked extensively with dance real-time installations at the Modern Repertory Dance Theater. His educational software uses technology to achieve remarkable results in aural skills and music fundamentals. He is also a sound engineer and has produced many recordings including his own compact disk release with Albany Records.
Hulme can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

Junk Mail Controls
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base
Revision as of 23:08, 27 January 2010; view current revision
←Older revision | Newer revision→
This article applies to both Thunderbird and the Mozilla Suite. The Junk Mail Controls interface in the Mozilla Suite is slightly different from the Thunderbird interface, described below.
Activating the Junk Mail Controls
To start using the Junk Mail Controls in Thunderbird:
Training the Junk Mail Controls
To train the junk-mail filtering, you need to mark some messages that you've received as either "junk" or "not junk". It is important to mark both types of messages, not just the ones that are junk. Initially, the automatic junk mail detection for incoming messages might not be accurate because you have not trained it enough. Be careful to check your Junk folder to see if any non-junk messages have been detected as junk, and mark non-junk ones appropriately. After an initial training period of marking at least a few dozen non-junk and a few dozen junk (but do not mark hundreds at a time) you should find that the Junk Mail Controls are effectively detecting unwanted junk emails and keeping them from your Inbox. Thereafter, it is a good idea to occasionally train non-junk messages - perhaps doing it when you mark junk ones is a good reminder and habit.
There are various ways that you can mark messages:
The file that stores your custom training data for the Junk Mail Controls is called "training.dat". It is stored in your profile folder. You can view the Junk Mail Log by selecting "Junk Mail Log" in "Tools -> Junk Mail Controls -> Logging", and then use the mouse to 'grab' any corner and stretch it until it expands enough for you to see the log data.
Any mention of "spam"
Thunderbird doesn't use or react to the word "spam" in its identification of junk mail. If you see the word "spam" in a subject or have a folder called "Spam", this is either due to your email provider or an add-on (such as SpamPal). If it's due to your email provider, log into your webmail using a browser and browse its help to get more information. Your provider may support webmail commands to let you manage or disable whatever they're doing.
Use custom headers added by your email provider
Your email provider may run a spam filtering program on their mail server such as SpamAssassin, MailScanner, CRM114, SpamProbe, QSF or Bogofilter that analyzes each message and adds custom headers with information about its content. If they use SpamAssassin, see the next section for how to integrate it with Thunderbirds junk mail controls. Otherwise, use "View -> Message Source" and look for headers whose name begins with a 'X' and contain phrases such as Spam. They typically provide a spam score and/or keywords that you can test using message filters.
For example:
X-Spam-score: 1.5 X-Spam-hits: BAYES_60 1, HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_16 1.526, HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_08 0.001, HTML_MESSAGE 0.001, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW -1, SPF_HELO_PASS -0.001, SPF_PASS -0.001, BAYES_USED global X-Spam-source: IP='220.127.116.11', Host='mail.anp.se', Country='SE', FromHeader='com', MailFrom='se'
You could test whether X-Spam-score "is greater than" a certain value, whether X-Spam-source "doesn't contain" Country='US' (the example was from Sweden) or test whether X-Spam-hits "contains" certain keywords (they're the name of a test that increased the spam score) that you notice that the junk mail controls has problems recognizing spam with those attributes. Not every email provider will provide as much customization as the example, but it should at least have some sort of spam score you can test.
Trusting SpamAssassin and SpamPal
Spammers sometimes use Bayesian poisoning to degrade spam filters that use Bayesian filtering. SpamPal uses DNS Blacklists and SpamAssassin uses several methods (its most well known for its extensive testing of message headers) to filter spam so that type of attack has little or no effect on them. Both of them add special headers to a message to indicate whether its spam. SpamPal is only available for Windows but the Wine Application Database rates it as platinum (i.e. install and run flawlessly on an out-of-the-box Wine installation)
Tools -> Junk Mail Controls has a setting to tell Thunderbird to trust junk mail headers set by either SpamPal or SpamAssassin. The order of processing is:
Some email providers customize the headers added by SpamAssassin, or modify the subject prefix. This can cause the junk mail controls to ignore the information. "Trust header" is actually a standard message filter, stored in a isp subdirectory in the Thunderbird program directory. Thunderbird checks whether either X-Spam-Status: or X-Spam-Flag: begins with Yes, or the subject begins with ***SPAM***. If you run into this problem backup the SpamAssassin.sfd file and then change what it tests for using a text editor (not a word processor). There is also a SpamPal.sfd file.
Some users have reported that the trust SpamAssassin option sometimes ignores the junk mail headers in Thunderbird 2.x. Its not clear whether you can workaround this bug by disabling the option and adding the appropriate message filter.
If you use SpamAssassin you might want to uncheck "enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account" in Tools -> Account Settings -> Junk Settings. That controls the Bayesian filter in the junk mail controls, which is what it uses to learn how to recognize junk. SpamAssassin is normally configured with a Bayesian filter that is more sophisticated, has more data to learn from (it learns from all of your email providers messages, not just your messages), and is probably tweaked by the same admin who tweaks the SpamAssassin filters. Having two Bayesian filters for the same account makes things unnecessarily complex. For example, its not defined whats supposed to happen if you mark a message as not junk, and later on the adaptive junk mail controls notices (again) that SpamAssassin says its spam.
You could probably edit the SpamAssassin.sfd file in the isp subdirectory in the Thunderbird program directory to make the junk mail controls think another spam filter such as SpamBayes is actually SpamAssassin. The first step would be to figure out what the spam filter modifies in the message in order to identify whether its spam by looking at a messages source.
The junk mail controls don't support trusting ThunderBayes, an add-on that installs a customized version of SpamBayes and integrates it with Thunderbird. This includes adding a toolbar button to classify a message as "Spam" or "Ham" and a preferences page in the account settings.
The junk mail controls don't support trusting Spamato, possibly because the Spamato instructions recommend disabling the junk mail controls. There is a Spamato forum, some documentation on the different types of spam filters they support and a FAQ on sourceforge.net. Spamato does not store its information in the Thunderbird profile, it creates its own profile
The mail.adaptivefilters.junk_threshold preference is a threshold used to determine when messages are classified as junk. It defaults to 90 in version 22.214.171.124. Lowering this value will make it easier to recognize messages as spam, though it increases the risk that it will classify a legitimate message as spam. This might be useful if you get spam messages that it seems to have a tough time learning about. For example, messages that look like text but are actually clickable images.
You can change the preference using Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor. Enter junk in the Filter field to show only the preferences that contain junk in their name, and then double-click on mail.adaptivefilters.junk_threshold, enter a value lower than the default 90 in the edit field and press the OK button. Many users report good results with values of 30 or lower.
The bayesian filter typically requires several hundred spam and several hundred legitimate messages in order to train itself to recognize spam. Its needs both, if you have a thousand spam messages but only a dozen legitimate messages it won't learn much. This doesn't mean its initially useless, just that how well it works will depend a lot more upon what spam messages you get. You don't need to keep the messages afterwards, it stores all of the information it needs as tokens in the training.dat file.
The Bayes Junk Tool can be used to examine and modify the training data. Sometimes it helps to get rid of tokens that are just as likely to occur in spam and legitimate messages, especially if the training data file gets very large. The web site also has several sets of training data that you can import or merge with your existing training data.
Bayesian filters are useful, but they're not always the best tool. Sometimes checking whether the message was sent by somebody on a DNSBL list is more effective. See this article for how to integrate SpamPal and the junk mail controls, and control which messages are downloaded.
The FolderFlags extension can set various internal flags that Thunderbird uses to classify folders. If you set the "Junk" flag on a folder (other than the one spam is moved to) it won't scan that folder for spam.
The Delete Junk Context Menu extension adds "Delete Mail Marked as Junk" to a folders context menu. It can be configured to delete mail without moving it to using the Trash folder.
Image spam
One way to weed out image-based spam is to create a message filter and set it to match all of the following:
In "Perform these actions" add
This will mark the message as junk and move it to the Junk folder if the Content-Type header contains multipart/related and the sender wasn't in your address book. The message filters don't know how to recognize Content-Type headers, you will need to add it using the "customize..." option at the bottom of the leftmost list box. This method is rather heavy-handed. If your email provider runs a spam filter program such as SpamAssassin, it will typically do a much better job recognizing image spam.
Problems with junk processing
Regular expressions - advanced
Neither the junk mail controls or the message filters support wild cards or regular expressions. There don't appear to be any extensions that add support for that. However, SpamPal (a mail classification program normally used for filtering spam) supports a RegExFilter Plugin that adds regular expression support based on Perl Regular Expressions. If you configure the junk mail controls to trust SpamPal you could use regular expressions to filter spam. [1]
There are many other SpamPal plugins available here. For example, you could extend white lists and black lists to apply to email addresses from any header, white list any message that contain words from a list of good words, filter on what web sites are mentioned, launch other programs (passing them information about the message as command line arguments) or run Ruby scripts. The main drawback is none of this is integrated into the junk mail controls - it just knows when SpamPal marks a message as spam.
Anti-phishing tools
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is a method for verifying an email sender's domain name, to figure out whether an address was spoofed. The Sender Verification Extension makes use SPF to verify the From: address on emails, plus DNS black and white lists such as SURBL, Spamhaus, DNSWL, and Sender Score Certified to check the senders reputation. When you read a message the add-on adds a line at the top of message with the verification status of the sender. For example, "Reputable Sender", "This sender is a known malicious spammer or phisher. Discard this email.", or "Sending domain does not support verification (address could be forged).". You have to actually read the message to get the warning (it is not meant to be used as a mail filter), and it's probably most useful as a alternative to Thunderbird's phishing protection (which most users disable due to its inability to learn, and many false positives).
Check the spam score of messages you sent
MailingCheck is a free Windows program that calculates the spam score of a message based on SpamAssassin rules. Its useful if you suspect that some of your recipients aren't getting your message due to it being treated as spam and you can't verify that by having them check in their junk mail folder.
You might want to also check if your mail server is black listed.

It's no great secret that I currently run the humblest of setups. My small dorm and frequent trips to and from school don't give me the luxury of having a beautiful and big HD setup, so I've been forced to optimize the way that I game in order to facilitate easy travel. My solution to this problem has been to use a KVM switch with my Xbox 360 and PC, so that I can play with both on my main monitor. So far, this has worked pretty well: the KVM switch I got even has USB ports which let me share my mouse and keyboard with the two connected units. This makes typing in games a breeze, as my keyboard is always right there.
I happened to be playing a little C&C3 yesterday and I got a call from a friend of mine asking if I'd play a game with him. I obliged, hit the KVM switch and started playing 360. As I was playing, I noticed that my laser mouse was lit up. Obviously, it was receiving power through the USB ports from the 360. With C&C3 on the brain, this got me thinking: if the 360 could use a mouse and a keyboard for game input, would I even bother with the PC version? While the OT rig is getting a nice boost thanks to Ben and IceStorm, my personal rig is modest, and I don't really have the resources to put into building a great one. Thus, I'd probably opt for the 360 version just to be assured a stable and predetermined performance.
The question of PC vs. 360 is one that has been considered for a while now, but with the upcoming 360 incarnation of C&C3 and with Xbox Live Anywhere soon coming to fruition, I figured it was a good time to revisit the issue. You've heard this before: as consoles have gotten more powerful, they've become more closely equated with their computer gaming counterpart. Of course, certain genres—RTS games, in particular—just don't handle the same way across platforms, regardless of what the developers do to try and make it work with a controller. The fact of the matter is that a mouse is instrumental in delivering the accuracy necessary for certain games. But we already know that the USB-equipped 360 is more than capable of enabling mouse support with but the smallest of patches and developer awareness—if nothing else, this additional control element would create more options for the users and developers alike, and may even ease the porting process from PC to 360 and vice-versa. So what's the problem?
The most popular theory is that Microsoft doesn't want to turn the 360 into a PC alternative for fear of cannibalizing Vista sales. This is a justified excuse in some regards, but given the cross-platform nature of the upcoming Windows Live (part of the previously titled Xbox Live Anywhere campaign), it seems like offering the option wouldn't cannibalize sales of anything Microsoft has stake in. With the Games for Windows branding mandating the use of the Xbox 360 controller, and the cross-platform XNA development studio enabling such support, it follows that the same should hold for mouse and keyboard support. Beyond diversifying the options available to the end-user, the new controls would level the debated playing field in many of the projected cross-platform games, like Huxley, Shadowrun and so on.
There are solutions out there, but nothing has proven to be anywhere near as useful as a simple driver update would be. You'd think Microsoft, of all companies, would jump on board with the option outright: after all, Microsoft Game Studios was, and still is, a PC development firm as well. Alas, where Microsoft managed to learn from Sony quite a bit during the transition from Xbox to Xbox 360, Sony's flexibility towards user hard drives and peripheral support has opened the shades on Microsoft's proprietary peripheral sting: the $180 120 GB hard drive that is shipping alongside the new Elite 360 is proof enough of that.
Alas, Microsoft has shown no signs of budging on this issue. Whatever the reason, mouse and keyboard support for games doesn't look to be in the cards. So, I will go back and play C&C3 on my own PC, not able to enjoy its graphical magnificence to its fullest. I'll pass up other potential PC gems simply because I can't afford to play them. And when C&C3 comes out on 360, I'll probably pick it up to enjoy it over Xbox Live, though the joy will be bittersweet, as I will be robbed of the proper enjoyment of a genre that doesn't belong on a console with the existing perversion of control that the genre was built around.
Ultimately, I'm left asking myself whether or not the 360, with the advent of cross-platform gaming on the 360 and PC, should finally get mouse and keyboard support. What do you guys think?

Re: The Elder Scrolls 6: The scrollening
I don't know much about ES lore, so I may be completely off here. Is there any way they could have it set on an continent besides Tamriel? You would think that would give them a lot of freedom to create and take advantage of the map sizes that the next-gen consoles will allow. If not that, maybe it would be interesting to have two provinces included? For example, maybe Valenwood and Elsweyr could be together, since from what I understand they might not be enough to sustain a game on their own. I'm just thinking we're going to see a very large map for ES6, since Todd Howard has said https://www.pcgamer.com/bethesdas-starf ... dd-howard/ that the technology hasn't existed for the ES game they wanted to make.

What is SMTP Discovery?
SMTP Discovery allows the Proofpoint encryption service to process email for new addresses that you (as the Office 365 administrator) have added to your Office 365 account, but have not yet added to the email encryption service. SMTP Discovery relays email messages to the unlicensed users until you add them to the encryption service.
If you don't regularly monitor and manage the activity of your email accounts, you'll most likely receive an SMTP Discovery Warning Report from Proofpoint. This report informs you of actions you need to take to add users and distribution lists to the encryption service.
If you fail to manage users appropriately within 4 weeks of receiving the report, it could impact mail flow for the affected email addresses, and it could result in your organization being billed for aliases and functional accounts.
An SMTP Discovery Warning Report is sent by email, and it looks something like this:

Towing away shipwrecked cruise liner off Italian coast raises hopes last body can be found
- Image 1 of 2

GIGLIO ISLAND, Italy – An Italian official has promised that a search will be conducted for the only unrecovered body of the 32 Costa Concordia shipwreck victims as soon as the wrecked cruise liner is towed away from the island where it struck a reef in 2012.
Franco Gabrielli, who heads the Civil Protection Department overseeing the wreck's removal, also told reporters on Giglio Island Sunday that while weather conditions aren't optimal, they are good enough to permit the start of operations to refloat and tow the Concordia to Genoa on the mainland for scrapping.
Gabrielli said it was a "great sorrow" the body of an Indian waiter was never found.
Delicate removal operations will start early Monday and last several days. A daring engineering operation set the capsized Concordia upright last year.

Archaeologists Find Tunnel Below the Temple of the Feathered Serpent in Teotihuacan
Contextual image of the tunnel found in front of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. Photo: CNMH INAH.
After eight months of excavation, archaeologists from the
National Institute of Anthropology and History
(INAH) have located, 12 meters below , the entrance to the tunnel leading to a series of galleries beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, in the Archaeologcial Area of Teotihuacan, where the remains of rulers of the ancient city could have been deposited.
In a tour made by to site today with the media, archaeologist Sergio Chavez Gomez, director of the Tlalocan Project went below the ground and announced the advances in the systematic exploration undertaken by the INAH of the underground conduit, which was closed for about 1,800 years by the inhabitants of Teotihuacan themselves and where no one has gone in since then.
INAH specialists hope to enter the tunnel in a couple of months and will be the first to enter after hundreds of years since it was closed. This excavation, which represents the most profound that has been done in the pre-Hispanic site, is part of the commemorations for the first 100 years of uninterrupted archaeological explorations (made in 1910) also called the City of Gods.
Gómez Chávez explained that the tunnel passes under the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, the most important building of the Citadel, "and the entry was located a few meters from the pyramid.
Access is by a vertical shaft of about five meters per side down to a depth of 14 meters from the surface, the entrance leads into a long corridor with an estimated length of 100 meters which ends in a series of underground chambers excavated in the rock.
The tunnel was discovered in late 2003 by Sergio Gomez and Julie Gazzola, but its exploration has required several years of planning and managing the financial resources necessary to carry out research at the highest scientific level. The team is composed of more than 30 people and has advisors renowned nationally and internationally.
Before starting the excavations, the archaeologists from INAH had the collaboration of Dr. Victor Manuel Velasco, from the Institute of Geophysics of the UNAM, through a the use of a GPR it was determined that the tunnel has a length of about 100 meters, and has large chambers inside.
Another of the technologies used in the exploration has been the laser scanner, a sophisticated device with high resolution, facilitated by the National Coordination of Historical Monuments (CNMH). INAH made the three-dimensional record of the archaeological finds.
Just a couple of weeks ago, archaeologists corroborated that the tunnel entrance was located in the place they had anticipated, then opened a small hollow hole at the top of the access, and using the scanner took the first images from inside the tunnel to a length of 37 meters, of the 100 it is estimated to have in length.
"Although we need to excavate two more meters to reach the floor of the tunnel, having the first images of the inside will allow us to better plan how to enter. Even so, we will have to withdraw a large amount of soil and a heavy block of stone that blocks the access.
"The whole process could take two more months of work, as we continue with the same systematic exploration that we have done from the start to avoid losing important information that lets us know what activities the citizens of Teotihuacan performed thousands of years ago and why they decided to close it, "said archaeologist Sergio Gomez.
So far, 200 tons of earth have been withdrawn, he said, while doing this we have found about 60,000 pieces of artifacts and pottery.
Angel Mora, who belongs to the Technology Support Unit of the CNMH, and engineer Juan Carlos Garcia, who operates the scanner, said that by introducing the laser, which has a range of 300 meters, through the small hollow opening the archaeologists made, there was only a length of 37 meters. Mora noted that this reading is because the laser beam "runs into something, maybe with some collapsed stones or because the tunnel has a gap."
Sergio Gomez reported that it has not yet been precisely determined the time of construction of the tunnel, however it he has a better idea of when it was closed by the people from Teotihuacan. "Several indications suggest that access to the underground passage was closed between 200 and 250 AD, probably after depositing something inside. One of the hypotheses postulate that, within the large chamber detected by the GPR, we could locate the remains of important people in the city. "
The investigations have led to know with certainty that this tunnel was made prior to the construction of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent and the Citadel. The tunnel is contemporary with a large architectural structure, which could be a ball game court, according to theform of the ground, said the archaeologist.
Unfortunately, the INAH researcher said, when the tunnel was closed, large stones were thrown which blocked access, "and the court was also destroyed and razed by the people of Teotihuacan, only small remnants remain.
"Locating the entrance to the tunnel fulfills one of the most important objectives of the Project Tlalocan, to precisely confirm that the main entrance was located in the exact spot where the excavation is planned. We must continue the excavation of the vertical shaft until it reaches the floor level to thereby start scanning the tunnel towards the East. "
According to the hypothesis about the meaning and symbolism of the tunnel, archaeologist Sergio Gomez, said the tunnel had to be linked to concepts related to the underworld, hence it is possible that in this place were carried out initiation rituals and the divine investiture of Teotihuacan rulers, since the power was acquired in these sacred spaces.
Also, it is known that rulers were buried in the holiest places. "For a long time local and foreign archaeologists have attempted to locate the graves of the rulers of the ancient city, but the search has been fruitless.
"That's why every day our expectations are increasing, as there are many chances that they are sitting inside a large tomb or offering. However, it is not something we are obsessed wih, the discovery and systematic exploration of the tunnel is something of great significance for archaeological research and a unique opportunity to approach the cosmogonic and religious thought of ancient Teotihuacan.

WAFFLE-X T-Shirt Advert
Random Schmoe: I'd be willing to pay to have an abusive Waffle etched on my torso, but I don't want to get a costly and permanent tattoo.
Waffle-X Guy: Well now you can we have a wide range of T-shirts ready to be dispatched
Random Schmoe: Where do I get one oh glorious advertising saint
Waffle-X Guy: Well we are currently having distribution problems
Random Schmoe: I may be a schmoe but I know that means that Rob hasn't made any yet...
Waffle-X Guy: Yes... yes it does.<P>I think this makes my feelings clear.
I want merchandise so I can prove I was there at the beginning<p>[This message has been edited by Daniel Edwards (edited 11-06-2001).]

Wildfires raging through Southern California have tripled in size to 28,000 acres as firefighters work to bring the blazes threatening nearly 4,000 homes under control.
More than 2,000 firefighters and structure protection crews from across the region worked tirelessly to protect buildings, including a naval training facility, from the raging fires in Camarillo, Calif.
Southern California Wildfires Unrestrained
Even residents have joined in to quell the early season flames. Eighteen year-old Brittany Smolarski used a bottle of water and her riding boots to stomp out a sudden spot fire while helping to evacuate horses.
PHOTOS: California Wildfire Grows
"I've never been that close to a fire," Smolarski told "Good Morning America." "That smoke is pretty deadly. I'm trying to protect everything that I can. I don't want my barn to burn up."
Despite its size and speed of growth, the fire that broke out Thursday and quickly moved through the Camarillo Springs area has caused damage to just 15 structures, though it's threatening thousands, the Associated Press reported.
High Winds and Heat Cause Wildfires to Rage in the West
Forecasters anticipate that a shift in the weather will bring cooler winds, allowing crews to make further progress to put out the flames.
Capt. Mike Lindbery of the Ventura County Fire Department told the Associated Press that crews intended to take advantage of lower temperatures and higher humidity.
"That will give us a chance because it's going to really bring that fire activity down quite a bit. I think we will make some significant progress," Lindbery told the AP.

Crime: New York City is a big apple just waiting to
be shot into a million tiny pieces. by
Cole Smith
19, 2006 - True
Crime: New York City is a marked improvement over
Streets of L.A. Overall it's more refined and the
storyline is more relevant to the gameplay. The missions
are varied to offer you a taste of multiple genres
such as shooting, racing and combat but the crime-solving
aspect is downplayed in favor of completing action-based
missions to unlock information to guide you to your
next mission.
Reed is a former criminal turned cop. He's out to
avenge the murder of his mentor, the guy that turned
his life around after Marcus and his crime boss father
exacted revenge on a rival gang for a failed attempt
on their lives. With his father in jail, Marcus has
been exonerated and is now a cop working to clean
up the mean streets of the Big Apple. He's street-wise
and well versed in the use of weapons and hand-to-hand
combat. Only you can determine if he's really changed
for the better - or worse.
to the storyline the gameplay follows a linear path
but does so in such a way as to make it appear natural
and logical. Freedom comes in the form of side-quests
which can be ignored or chosen for any number of reasons.
You can complete various missions differently. Playing
as the good cop or the bad cop results in very little
consequences for your actions unless you go totally
overboard like gunning down innocent civilians. You
can pull off some pretty nasty stunts for money such
as selling evidence at the pawn shop but of course
you can always justify that you had to do these things
in order to complete a much larger objective.
the game you will encounter lots of random incidents
like muggings, fights, disturbances and so on. These
will earn you various points which can be used to
upgrade your skills, weapons and ranking but it's
the big missions that throw the game into overdrive.
Under the guise of infiltrating high-profile illegal
activities such as illegal racing and fight clubs
you will experience racing and combat elements. You
can move in and out of buildings with incredible ease,
catching the bad guys red-handed. There are lethal
and non-lethal takedowns. The more bad guys you arrest
the more you will progress in the ranks as a law enforcement
officer. You can also acquire some of the weapons
and other goodies that the bad guys leave behind.
from racing, you can drive vehicles to get around
the city. The island of Manhattan had been digitally
re-created to include all of the main streets and
landmarks. This is one huge city and will take a long
time to get from one end to the other, even without
bumper-to-bumper traffic. You can choose from a variety
of vehicles including cars, trucks and motorcycles
but you can also opt to just take a cab or the subway
if you want to get there in one piece. The vehicles
are just not very responsive and you'll experience
lots of sliding even at low speeds. They are capable
of lots of damage.
been to Manhattan recently I can tell you that most
of the buildings are just generic filler; something
to take up space between major intersections. Still,
it's impressive by its sheer scale and when filled
with pedestrians and other ambient animations it manages
to deliver the essence that can only be New York City.
certainly can't complain about the range of options.
The targeting system, for instance, lets you choose
from an automatic lock-on to a more manual locking
system that targets the enemy that you are aiming
at. Switching to the auto lock-on you can move around
more freely to avoid taking hits or moving to a safer
location while continuing to fire with confidence.
The combat system utilizes a simpler lock-on targeting
system that automatically engages the characters that
you are facing. Punches, kicks and throws find their
mark a lot more accurately than in Streets of L.A.
There are also tons of interactive items that you
can hit people with or throw at them.
is no shortage of bloody gunfire battles but at the
end of each mission you will arrest a suspect and
take him in for interrogation. There is an interrogation
meter that calculates how cooperative the suspect
is to your line of questioning. You have to show him
you mean business by stressing him out with threats
and/or violence but at the same time you have to offer
a safe haven for him to confide in you. Get the meter
to hit the center three times and you'll win a confession
that will send you off on another mission. Fail to
get a confession and you'll have to perform a side-mission
for another undesirable to obtain the same information.
only way the storyline could be better is if most
of it could be revealed in-game, as a direct result
of you obtaining clues and solving them. Instead,
cutscenes reveal developments in the story and you
certainly can't complain when these mini-moves are
voiced by the outrageously talented acting of Christopher
Walken and Mickey Rourke. The dialog is good but the
way these guys deliver their lines makes it sound
a hundred times better.
are lots of background animations and New York is
one huge map, however the character models are a little
rough and there are some glitches such as clipping
and some problems with scene changes that transport
you to some very strange places.
replay value depends on your willingness to go back
and explore the big city. No doubt you will find new
side missions that you missed the first time around.
I'm not convinced a multi-player mode would even be
required for a game such as this without resorting
to some kind of hackneyed frag fest. I would recommend
this game only as a rental. Although superior to the
original, New York could have benefited from a few
more months of polish excluding the cutscenes which
are excellent. It's just disappointing that the rest
of the game doesn't live up to the quality of the
cutscenes. Perhaps the third in the series will be
a little closer to perfection than the first two.

Knock. Who's There? Nick Kang. Nick Kang
who? Exactly.
liked Nick Kang and I liked the first True Crime:
Streets of LA. More than anything, I thought it reeked
of potential. Some people didn't like the fantasy
aspect that threw a monkeywrench into the middle of
what was supposed to be a gritty crime thriller, but
I was okay with it. I thought Russel Wong owned Nick
Kang. I quite enjoyed his tongue in cheek delivery
as the rogue cop and I'm sure I won't be the only
one who is going to miss Mr. Kang in the next installment
of True Crime. Yeah, Nick isn't in the next True Crime.
In fact, neither is LA. But don't panic just yet.
We're sure there will be some streets and some crime.
Those definitely made the cut.
Reed, one time gang member now turned cop is True
Crime's new anti-hero. He doesn't take no **** and
he busts heads, breaks necks and sucker punches all
in the name of justice. Activision is being very coy
in regards to the city this time around because you
can win Marcus' ride in a Name The City contest over
at www.truecrime2005.com.
As usual it's only open to residents of the US. I'm
going to say Fargo. It's got to be Fargo. Or wait,
downtown Wisconsin Dells. That's a pretty shady city.
What are the chances the city isn't New York? I mean
come on. Maybe Detroit. Maybe Chicago. But I'm sticking
with Fargo.
E3, Activision trodded out aging porn starlet turned
legitimate E3 booth babe, who knows a little something
about "real" True Crime. She was making
adult movies when she shouldn't have been (aka too
young). A few people went to jail over that little
boo boo, except her for some bizarre reason as she
was presumably the only person involved who actually
knew her true age. But it's not against the law for
a 15 year old to have relations with an adult, but
it is the other way around. She's the blond booth
babe below in the single shot. If you ever meet her
don't mention that incident as I'm sure it's a bit
of a sore spot, although I can't see why, after all
she didn't go to jail....
didn't see any shots of the vehicles in True Crime
2 and we were sure wondering how those motorcycle
physics were coming along... Let's hope Luxoflux worked
on that aspect and we get to ride a hog in the sequel.
Stay tuned for more info.

Yorba Linda cemetery was founded in 1858 by Bernardo Yorba. He received the grant to 13,000 acres of Rancho Cañón de Santa Ana from the Mexican governor in 1834. I can see the small cemetery, now surrounded by housing tracks, from my back yard on the other side of Santa Ana Canyon.
I have never seen a ghost there.
Alvina de los Reyes is said to be the "Pink Lady," a ghost who haunts the graveyard on June 15th of even years. The story is that she was killed in 1910 when she fell from a wagon on the way home from a high school dance.
Nobody knows how this particular story got started -- it was likely made up to entertain and excite adolescents -- but I can help solve parts of the mystery.
At the Family History Center in Orange -- on a street named for Bernardo Yorba's father -- is a book that lists payments for cemetery plots in the Yorba Linda Cemetery. Frank Reyes bought two plots there in 1910. One for Alvina de los Reyes who was 31 when she died on Dec 2, 1910. The other payment was for Alavina de los Reyes who was born on Nov 25, 1910 and died 28 days later.
Dying when her baby was just a week old, was Alvina's death the result of childbirth? Not according to the Orange County death records on microfilm at the Orange FHC. There it states that she died of pneumonia and her infant died of athrepsia infantum or failure to thrive. In any case, Alvina was not on her way home from a dance.
Another mystery concerns Alvina's origins. According to the Yorba Linda History website, nobody knows who Alvina de los Reyes was. One relative, a grand nephew, believes her maiden name was Entrada. A cousin thinks it may have been Estrada. Fortunately, her children knew her maiden name.
In the 1910 census for Yorba township in Orange County (found on Ancestry.com), Alvina is the wife of Francisco Reyes and the mother of seven children.
Further poking around in census and death records shows that Alvina's father died when she was young and her mother, whose maiden name was Estrada, remarried a man named Andrade. Andrade and Estrada are close to the names remembered by Alvina's living cousins, showing there is often a grain of truth in many of those stories handed down through the generations.
Except, for me at least and espicially in this case, ghost stories.

If you want to add some unbeatable texture to your garden this year then you must try King Tut papyrus. It has been around for a-half-dozen years now and is still one that customers will fight over at the local garden center. One of the reasons they fight over it is that there is never enough to meet demand.
At the Columbus (Ga.) Botanical Garden we use both the King Tut papyrus Cyperus papyrus from Egypt and the umbrella palm, Cyperus involucratus, which is a close relative from Madagascar. If you remember your elementary history, this plant was used for making papyrus sheets for writing. Our word "paper" comes from "papyrus."
Cyperus species normally are projected to be zone 9 plants, dying to the ground and returning almost always in 8 and many times even in zone 7. Even if you bought a gallon or two every year and treated them as annuals, their unique texture would make them worth every penny.
The King Tut is a dwarf variety in some aspects reaching only 4 feet though it is not uncommon to see them top out at 6 feet. They gracefully arch over and give a tufted or hairy appearance with their umbrellas. We have some grown in combination with the Red Abyssinian banana and others with a windmill palm.
Our umbrella palms reach 5 to 6 feet tall and flank one side of our raised brick herb beds. Both the King Tut and the umbrella palm have reed-like stems, giving the landscape a lush, tropical feel.
Both of these thrive in full sun to part shade, sloppy wet or simply fertile soil. They perform beyond expectations no matter where they are planted. Tight, heavy clay keeps them from reaching their true potential, but somehow they still look acceptable. Well drained soil with and mulch increases your chances of a spring return in zones 7 and 8.
They grow rapidly. Plant a 1-gallon container now or after your last freeze and before fall's first frost, it will look as though you used a 10-gallon specimen. Once the plant has frozen, remove the dead foliage, add a little mulch and wait for a spring return.
Both the King Tut papyrus and umbrella palm are well suited for water or bog gardens. If you are growing it in a water garden try growing them in a sunken container. This will manage any unwanted spread, and make it easier for you to move in indoors if you live in a colder region. In addition to bog gardens try growing them along dry creek beds letting them create the image you regularly have flowing water.
In mixed containers you could hardly find a better thriller plant. Since they are green they obviously go with any color scheme you are creating. For a tropical look, use them as understory plantings to tall bananas or in partnership with elephant ears.
The King Tut papyrus are must-have plants whether you want to use them in the landscape or in containers. You key to happiness with them however may just lie in being the first one at the garden center when the new shipment arrives. Happy Shopping!

I feel compelled to tell you that I really enjoy the paper.
The article in the Nov. 8 edition about James Elliott "Willy" Williams was fantastic for this Veterans Day edition. Truly a local hero.
Are any police departments going to slow down traffic on S.C. 5 and U.S. 521?
I live on Highway 5 and can't get out on the road to go somewhere.
On Halloween I was on 5 and a dump truck was on my bumper from Tenacity Court to the cement plant. It almost ran into me when I pulled off to let him by. There have been three times since then.
I try to drive the speed limit, but the trucks don't. Highway 5 and 521 are racetracks.

My name is Cleavon Belk and I'm writing for myself and my brother, Donnie R. Belk of the Buford community.
Our nephew Eric T. Belk of Buford died in a house fire in the early morning on Sunday, Oct. 15.
We would like to thank the Buford Volunteer Fire Department's firefighters for their heroic actions, and all firefighters from the other cities and communities who responded to this fire as well.
My brother would like to encourage the community to support their local volunteer fire departments financially and in any other way that they can.
Mark Manicone's Oct. 25 article about Archie Parnell's new campaign for Congress had me asking questions. After careful consideration, here are my views.
Parnell takes President Trump's basic ideas that the USA needs good jobs, tax changes and strong communities. He claims Congress – that's the House and Senate – has not accomplished anything over the last months.
The Capt. John P. Monahan VFW Post 12136 Auxiliary would like to thank Talbots of Blakeney for the opportunity to raise money for our post relief fund.
Talbots generously gave our auxiliary a percentage of its sales Nov. 10 in honor of Veterans Day. Our auxiliary members were able to talk to Talbots' customers to share our reasons for the fundraiser. Because of this opportunity, we will be able to help veterans and their families in need.
At the end of October or early November, Lancaster County homeowners should have received their property tax bills, which must be paid no later than Jan. 15, 2018, to avoid penalties.
If you have not received your tax bill, please contact our office to help locate your bill and make sure we have the correct address on file for you.
If your tax bill is paid from escrow, the mortgage company will gather their information electronically from us, but to make sure proper payment is made, you can forward them the information that you received from us in the mail.
My choice for naming the new school would be Charles Duke Elementary.

Indian Land
I want to share with you my support of the Indian Land High School girls cross country program and the need for schools to continue to focus on girls athletics and the importance of equal internal and school funding support of such programs.
Yesterday (Nov. 4), I witnessed many cross country schools attending the S.C. state championship race in Columbia. What a wonderful day and event for the kids and showing of fan support.
Thank you, Lancaster News, for your tribute to U.S. veterans in Wednesday's paper. The stories, pictures and beautiful ads in the section "Honoring Veterans" were all deeply inspiring.
We are living in dispiriting times. When an evil monster can descend upon a house of worship and massacre a congregation of the faithful, there is no reverence for God or human life.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of our bodies, causing many diseases and reducing the health of smokers in general.
Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. More than 10 times as many U.S. citizens have died prematurely from cigarette smoking than from all of the wars fought by the United States. Smoking causes about 90 percent of all lung cancer deaths.

Vanessa Hudgens Has A New Man: Co-Star Josh Hutcherson! Exclusive Details!
Newly single Vanessa has been toting her new boy toy all over town!
Don't feel too bad for Vanessa Hudgens. She may have recently split from longtime boyfriend Zac Efron, but it sounds like she's already over him — and onto her Journey 2 co-star Josh Hutcherson! The couple was backstage at the Independent Spirit Awards on Feb. 26, and HollywoodLife.com saw her laughing, smiling and looking completely giddy around him.
Vanessa and Josh remained inseparable throughout the night, as they checked out the LG Cinema 3D HDTV Gift Lounge, stopping by the Crunch, AMC and New Balance booths.
She even brought Josh to the Beastly premiere after party at The Grove's Whisper Lounge, and a source tells us "he didn't leave her side. They looked happy together and hung out with Brittany Snow."
So what do you think, HollywoodLifers? It sounds like Vanessa has really found a new guy worth her time, but could she just be trying to one-up Zac for reportedly seeing I Am Number Four actress Teresa Palmer?

Seriously though, the rash wouldn't go away despite half a dozen trips to the pediatrician.. Creams, ointments, and a variety of other medications later, nothing worked! In fact, the rash looked worse, spreading beyond the diaper area to other areas of his little body. He was a little rashy blob with a cute baby face! The red rashy bum was born than enough – but now the rest of his body? *Insert exasperated sighs and toddler-esque foot stomps*
After a visit to a dermatologist we learned our little one was suffering from [childhood] eczema. Web MD defines eczema as "itchy, red, and dry skin caused by inflammation. It is most common in children." Rather than become upset by the diagnosis I was relieved to know it wasn't nothing I was or wasn't doing, and more importantly it wasn't a result of my precious fluff!
After consulting with the dermatologist, other mommies of babies with eczema, and lots of research, I learned several do's and don'ts when it comes to cloth diapering a child with eczema (or sensitive skin).
- Change baby FREQUENTLY! While cloth diapered babies are generally changed a lot it's easy to get caught up in other things and forget baby is due for a diaper change!
- Avoid products or foods that will trigger flare-ups.
- Use plenty of [cloth diaper friendly] diaper cream at night! To be on the safe side, it's best to use fleece liners when using a lot of diaper cream.
- No wool. =( I'm very sad to say wool has been known to be an irritant for children who suffer from eczema. (Good thing I never bought any wool – but not for a lack of trying)
- Use soaps and detergents designed for those with sensitive skin. We tried using baby soaps and my little one's back would be red and splotchy and his skin would start to peel. We switched to Dove and this resolved our soap problems.
If you suspect your baby is dealing with eczema consult with your doctor/pediatrician.
