Yesterday afternoon, for another Identity Insider, we've released a video detailing the workings of player housing in Identity and what it has to offer at our present point in development. This gives you a good idea of the level of fidelity we're going for in all of our key systems, and more videos will follow as we continue. Housing was chosen for our first video as our initial focus in development is for features present in the upcoming Town Square module.
If you haven't already seen the video, check it out above.
Housing as you've seen in the video is an excellent place to hang out with friends, but it has a lot of good practical uses, too! First, housing is the primary storage location for items you've collected. Whether it's a bookshelf full of books, a gun-rack with wall-mounted guns, or a crate full of junk, it's sort of like a bank for tangible stuff.
Housing is also valuable for moderate crafting, too. Some advanced recipes might require a factory, but a lot of stuff can be created at your home using special crafting tables. A hydroponics table can even be used to grow small-scale plants, legal or otherwise!

We wanted to share some information with all our customers regarding the site-wide issues we have experienced starting at around 3 PM on Tuesday, May 28th (Pacific Time). The difficulties you all experienced trying to use IMVU's website and/or 3D Chat client were the result of an external and malicious attack on our internet connection services. Our databases and all information systems remained completely secure and no account information was compromised. However, our customers experienced partial or complete lack of connectivity to IMVU over a period of 36 hours. The disruption to service was intermittent and at various times affected some or all of our customers.
As of right now, the website and client are fully accessible. Our team has been working around the clock to resolve the problems and continues to address any remaining issues caused by this disruption.
Please follow our forum post for continued updates regarding any remaining issues and their resolution.

Some of the drama team we trained worked for Zisize Educational Trust for 7 years, and collaborated with a nurse as part of their peer influence and health choices workshops in schools. They had a passoin for the work, and in Particular Bhekumuzi Villani took a lead in driving local innovative projects to engage the youth and adults around healthy choices and community connections.
Using their own resources Bhekumuzi worked to develop a film in the community in 2013, not an easy task when electricity is often hard to access.
The uncle character is performed by Vilani, a Zisize Drama facilitator. The brother of Vilani plays the main boy character, and they have a video production friend. It was impressive to see what they did, with no outside input. They were without budget and used a simple camera. The actors are students from Ingwavuma High School and local community members - over the years they would all have seen ADCID's forum theatre play, and could use this experience to help act story. The film in isiZulu language, (as it rightly should be), so my challenge is to get word out to people outside of Ingwavuma. At the moment, just a couple of DVD's are circulating around families living in Ingwavuma. I am hoping to get subtitles, so that DVD's could be sold to raise money for the drama project. As you can see the DVD tells a story about 2 orphans. The girl is being abused by her uncle, because of which they children are forced to leave home They get involved with local criminals, as they decide to rob the uncle so they can get money to survive. At the end things turn out badly.

We like a dash of rarity with our beauty and since natural redheads are a dying breed, or so they say, and finding a hairdresser with any skill to create a natural ginger hue is pretty much impossible, we always appreciate a full mane of genetic red hair. And especially when it seems like every model in the universe is going platinum these days, a ravishing red tone on the runway or popping up in campaigns feels fun and fresh. We've rounded up our top ten favorite redheaded models, below.
Bartek Borowiec
Talk about hair envy...Bartek Borowiec's signature Rapunzel-esque red locks add an androgynous appeal that's landed him runway gigs at Hugo Boss and Gucci and plenty of print "blowing in the wind" spreads. He's like some sort of ginger nymph god-meets-goddess.
Cintia Dicker
With her striking auburn tones and bodacious body, Brazilian-born beauty Cintia Dicker has successfully balanced the crème de la crème of commercial modeling gigs like SI's Swimsuit Issue -- following '90s redheaded babe Angie Everhart -- and Victoria's Secret Angel status with high fashion bookings like runway appearances at Dolce & Gabbana and ad campaigns for Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent.
Karen Elson
Since being photographed by Steven Meisel on her 18th birthday for the cover of Italian Vogue, 35-year-old Elson has become the industry's most iconic redhead -- basically "super" worthy. Her curly crimson locks and pale, porcelain skin have landed her gigs with all the top photographers (Weber, Testino, Demarchelier), magazines (W, Harper's Bazaar, all the Vogues) and fashion houses (Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Dior). You know, just to name a few things...
Maggie Rizer
In the late 1990s and early 2000s Rizer's red head rocked covers of Vogue and endless ready-to-wear runways after being discovered by Steven Meisel -- apparently he's the redhead-whisperer. Naturally strawberry-blonde, Rizer choose to change to a cherry-crimson in hopes of standing out amongst the era's endless stick-straight blondes like Carmen Kass, and it worked. Let red reign!
Francois Verkerk
With his ginger-tinged tresses cut like Morrisey's and a handlebar mustache, Francois Verkerk is the hipster-est ginger there ever was -- but it's working for him. He's walked the runway for Yohji Yamamoto and landed a Lanvin ad campaign and we'd follow this luscious leprechaun right over the rainbow.
Anastasia Ivanova
With her wide-set baby-blues and full, regal features, Anastasia Ivanova looks like neo-Renaissance royalty. The kind that would go against her family's wishes, give up her jewels and gowns for bland burlap -- but still look ravishing, of course -- to marry the peasant she loves. Originally a synchronized swimmer, this Russian doll has walked endless runways from couture to ready-to-wear, Maison Martin Margiela to Delpozo.
Grace Coddington
Before she was the iconic Vogue editor she is today, Welsh-born Grace Coddington got her start in the industry as a model after winning a British Vogue modeling competition. As the epitome of a fierce, fiery redhead (i.e. The September Issue), we can't decide if we love her crimson curls or her courageous creativity more.
Anniek Kortleve
With her piercing stare, fuzzy copper mane, and invisible eyebrows, Holland's Anniek Kortleve is otherworldly. Showing for the first time during the Fall 2011 season, Kortleve walked an overwhelming 33 shows. She was cast in Balenciaga's Fall 2012 campaign -- the final fall collection designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere -- alongside other relatively unknown models shot by Steven Meisel (the redhead whisperer strikes again!).

It is difficult to stress enough how important briefs are. That simple page of information that tells you your job no matter what kind of freelance copywriting you do. Whether you're writing ordinary copy for an advertising campaign or targeted SEO copywriting – all the information you need is contained in that first brief.
The brief tells you everything you need to know
The brief should give you all the information you need to complete your job and give the client and amazing piece of freelance copywriting. A standard brief will have the date of issue, the writer's name, the client you are writing for, the type of project and the length of the piece in words. It will also carry the deadline and that all-important piece of information – how much you're getting paid for the work. In addition you should expect to have a description of the work expected and any specific guidelines from the clients themselves. Briefs can run into several pages or be a short paragraph, but all the information you need to complete the job is contained in that first section.
Focus on the client information
The most important part of a brief, particularly for freelance copywriting, is the client information. This should be your starting point when beginning your research. If your copywriting is to find favour with the client, then it has to be written to fit in with their existing style. This is particularly important when writing SEO copy, as poor quality freelance copywriting on behalf of an SEO specialist will not only make you look bad, it will make the company look bad as well. Once you have researched your client, then you can move on to the actual assignment and begin your background research in more detail.
Make sure you include their specific recommendations in your freelance copywriting
If the client has made specific recommendations, do not ignore these just because they don't fit in with your interpretation of the brief. The client is always right. If they do not want their name mentioned in the piece, then don't think you are doing them a favour by adding it, however glowing the terms.
Keep to the deadline
Finally, never ignore the deadline. A copywriter that does not adhere to deadlines is a copywriter that is soon out of work. If for any reason you cannot meet the deadline, let the client know in plenty of time. An entire campaign could hang on you meeting your delivery times, so do not be afraid to turn a brief down if you know you're not going to be able to make the cut.
Briefs are the foundation stones of a freelance copywriter's life. Treat them with the respect they deserve.

Aviation History
WORLD NEWS Stealth secrets for sale LOS ANGELES A Northrop employee work ing on the United States Air Force Advanced Technology Bomber programme has been arrested for allegedly attempting to sell data on the "Stealth" bomber. On December 18 Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Thomas Patrick Cavanagh, 40, of Downey, California. Cavanagh was arrested at the Hyatt Hotel, City of Commerce, near Los Angeles city centre after exchanging ATB data for $25,000. The data included blueprints, technical manuals, and drawings, all of which were stamped "Secret". FBI agents tell Flight that all the data is "crucial to the ATB project". An FBI's affidavit placed before Judge Joseph Reichman says that Cavanagh was driven by a need for money and by marital problems. Judge Reichman ordered Cavanagh to be held without bail at Terminal Island Federal prison, pending re-arraign ment on January 7. Before his arrest Cavanagh was twice met by FBI agents posing as Soviet intelligence agents. On December 10 in a tape-recorded meeting he told them: "It's simple, you get the cash and I give the information". On December 12 at the Bellflower Hotel Cavanagh turned over the ATB material. On the third meeting on December 18 he was arrested after giving the FBI agents more ATB information. FBI director William G. Webster expres sed surprise at how easy it was for Cavanagh to obtain the information. The FBI investigation of Cavanagh started in early December, after Cavanagh twice tried to contact Soviet intelligence agents in Washington D.C. and in San Francisco. Cavanagh, whose job description has not been released, has held "Secret" clearance at Northrop Advanced Systems Division's Pico Rivera plant since 1982, and had applied for security upgrading to "Top Secret" level last August. The Pico Rivera plant employs 6,000 people, with another 4,000 working elsewhere on the ATB project, now thought to be in the prototype production stage. Northrop is estimated to have received $1,000 million in 1984 for ATB funding. This is the fifth US espio nage case to come to light recently. "We have more people charged with espionage than ever before in our history," the FBI tells Flight. These include Karl Koecher; a CIA employee caught spying for Czechoslovakia; Richard Smith, from US Army Intel ligence, who spied for the USSR; Alice Michelson, an East German spying for her country; and Richard Miller, an FBI agent spying for the USSR. Javelin goes operational BELFAST ~ The Shorts Javelin shoulder- fired anti-aircraft missile has been fired in training for the first time by an operational unit of the British Army. The first unit to be equipped with the missile is the 46th Air Defence Battery of the 2nd Field Regiment, serving with the British Army of the Rhine. With an effective range in excess of 4km against jet aircraft, and more against helicopters, the missile provides wider cover than Blowpipe (which it will replace) while retaining the earlier missile's ability to tackle targets head on. A Shorts Javelin is fired by the first unit of the British Army to become operational with the missile — Jiff* •Hft •-H, L —- 4 5 -Mi* *£iillili Javelin is said to be easier to guide to its target than Blowpipe, using the launcher's built-in stabilised sighting system. This pro vides manual target tracking plus automatic missile guid ance through a solid-state TV camera which locks on to the missile's flares. Digital out puts from the camera are fed to a microprocessor which generates signals to close the angular error between the TV-tracked missile and the optically tracked target. The resulting guidance signals are transmitted to the missile by radio. Delta pilots fly both ATLANTA A Delta Air Lines crew have successfully demonstrated their dual Boeing 757/767 pilot type-rating by flying a 767 in revenue service from Atlanta, Georgia, to Seattle and a 757 back to Atlanta. Although the crew had completed a four-hour "differences course", neither Capt Malcolm Simpson nor first officer Phil Glen had flown a 757 before. US Federal Aviation Administration officials were on board the flight, together with Delta's vice-president flight operations, C. A. Smith, and members of the US aviation press. The FAA gave its approval last July for pilots trained on either of the types to be rated for both. All those pilots type-rated on one of the two have now passed flight examinations to fly the other twinjet. BA sale moves back LONDON ~ The stockmarket flotation of British Airways cannot now go ahead on the projected date of February 14. The prospec tus has not been published; neither has there been any advertising campaign to publicise the sale. BA will not comment on the subject of a launch date, and the Department of Transport will say only that it had never promised February 14, only the first half of this year.

A research team led by Joseph S. Takahashi, professor of neurobiology and physiology at Northwestern University, has discovered the first enzyme to play a role in the circadian clock of mammals. The team's findings are detailed in the April 21 issue of Science.
This discovery contributes another known piece to the circadian clock puzzle and should help increase researchers' understanding of circadian rhythm-related problems in humans, including jet lag, sleep disorders and affective disorders, such as depression and bipolar disease. Also, the enzyme could make an ideal target for the development of drugs to treat such problems.
"Our research provides the first evidence that a gene called casein kinase I epsilon is a critical component of the mammalian circadian clock," said Takahashi, who also is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. "This is the most exciting development to come out of my laboratory since we cloned the mammalian circadian gene, Clock, in 1997."
While casein kinase I epsilon, or CKIe, is the ninth gene to be identified with circadian rhythms in mammals, it is the first gene that acts as an enzyme.
Circadian (Latin for "about a day") clocks are known to rely on a simple and elegant feedback loop of gene activation and inhibition. When that loop is working right, normal circadian rhythms of sleep and wakefulness adhere to a 24-hour cycle. When something is awry, the sleep-wake cycle is thrown off its normal pattern.
In mammals, the clock's feedback loop begins when a pair of proteins in the cell's nucleus, activation proteins called CLOCK-BMAL1, bind to and turn on a genetic switch. This switch regulates genes that produce various negative feedback proteins, including PERIOD proteins. The proteins bind to each other and build up in the cell's cytoplasm until they reach a peak level, at which time they return to the nucleus and "shut off" the switch by inhibiting the CLOCK-BMAL1 proteins.

I've read that static variables are used inside function when one doesn't want the variable value to change/initialize each time the function is called. But what about defining a variable static in the main program before "main" e.g.
#include <stdio.h>
static double m = 30000;
int main(void)
value = m * 2 + 3;
Here the variable m has a constant value that won't get modified later in the main program. In the same line of thought what difference does it make to have these instead of using the static definition:
const double m = 30000;
#define m 30000 //m or M
and then making sure here to use double operations in the main code so as to convert m to the right data type.

By the time you finish reading this article about solar energy, you are going to feel empowered. Solar energy really is the wave of the future, and there is much to know and learn about if you are going to start using it for your home or business. Keep reading to learn how you can devise a solar energy plan.
Do your research before you buy or install anything. It is important that you know what you're allowed to have in place, what is the best choice for efficiency and what sort of a budget you're working with. Once you have those answers in hand, you'll be able to go forward with your project.
If you're thinking about installing solar panels to generate your own electricity, make sure that the roof you'll be installing them on gets plenty of good sunlight. Good sunlight occurs between 9am and 3pm. You'll generate the most electricity if your roof receives full, exposed sunlight between those hours every day.
Start small when you start using solar energy. Buying some solar energy lights to use in landscape lighting can save power and help the planet. Many different stores carry these, such as Walmart and Lowe's. They are very easy to install.
If you are comparing prices on a solar energy unit, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Some companies might offer bargain priced systems, but these systems might not hold up, be backed by a credible warranty or function in a way that really saves you money. Keep in mind that sometimes it is better to spend a little more now so that you save a lot more in the long run.
Try getting recommendations for solar energy home equipment. If you have loved ones or colleagues that have solar energy at home, ask them to provide details of their experience or any issues they've been through with their system. It's important to consider other opinions on what you should or should not do.
Think about the money that you send to your power companies each month. How would you like to keep that money in your pocket? Changing to solar power will do that for you. After you pay off the initial investment, the money you used to pay to the power company will stay in your wallet.
When purchasing a solar energy system, make sure that you read the manufacturer's warranty carefully. This is a very expensive item, and you want to know that you will be able to get a replacement in the event something happens to it. You should purchase an extended warranty if the one that is offered is very limited.
If you want to have a new house built, consider solar energy. Solar energy is going to be the next energy production that has practically non-existent environmental effects. If you haven't checked this energy source out, you should now.
Your solar energy system can not only save you money, but help you make it too. If your system happens to make more energy than you need, then you can sell it to the local energy company in your area. Imagine receiving money to produce energy instead of spending money to produce the same amount of energy?
Larger solar panels are not necessarily a good option. There are many factors to consider before buying a solar panel. Some features you should look at are the warranty, the materials it is made out of, and the wattage. Before making this purchase, every factor needs to be thought through.
If you are considering investing in solar panels, you should start monitoring the weather. Quality solar panels will produce enough energy for your home if you can count on at least five hours of unobstructed sunlight a day. If you live in a climate where it snows a lot or there is a lot of overcast, solar energy may not be for you.
Living a green life helps protect the environment and generally helps you save money. By choosing solar energy options such as solar heating, solar hot water heating and solar lighting, you can rest assured that you are helping to save the planet. Keep your solar products free from dirt and debris for best results.
Maximize the output of your solar panels by adjusting them seasonally. Adjusting your panels twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter, will ensure that your panels are producing the maximum amount of energy by taking into account the earth's changing position relative to the sun.
When picking solar panels, do not let the price alone influence your decision. Solar panels differ in the panel's physical size, wattage, brand, warranty period, performance and material quality. That means you have to research every option thoroughly. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to solar panels.
Ask your solar panel vendor about the certifications they have and about the testing of the panels you are interested in. You might qualified for some rebates offered by the government if you go through a certified vendor and choose panels that have received certifications too. Besides, this is a good way to make sure you are getting a quality product.
Do the math prior to investing in solar power. Not every location is a good bet to deliver energy savings. The best option is to look into the costs and the potential earnings (based off your sun conditions) to see what the costs will really be like. Sometimes, it'll be way more costly to use solar.
One of the easiest things at your home to convert to solar power is your outdoor lighting. There are many attractive solar lighting options available at your local home center. These fixtures are easy to install and are relatively inexpensive. Spend some time browsing the selections and see which options will be suitable for your outdoor needs.
Hopefully, this article has helped you realize how you can use solar energy in your home or business to save money and make a positive impact on the environment. As you can now see, there is much to consider when developing your plan, so keep everything that has been discussed in mind. The benefits will amaze you!

Cuba's digital destination
Dj Turcios is in the house at Bar Somavilla
The Cuban DJs opened for Turcios, who kept the party going for an audience "with a very genuine energy" from midnight to shortly before 7:00 am. Although DJ Turcios had never played in Cuba before, he said he felt at home and that it was "an experience definitely worth repeating."
DJ Turcios's work is considered eclectic and is acclaimed both in clubs and at raves. He is one of those DJs that know how to work the audience. He has participated in some of the most important electronic music festivals worldwide and has shared the stage with Max Graham, Satoshi Tommie, Chus y Ceballos, The Low End Specialists and DJ Icey, among others. Linked to the new wave of electronic music in the US, he has been defined by critics as an energetic musician who establishes an incredible connection with his audiences.
DJ Turcios's open, heterodox and multiethnic philosophy of electronic music is shown in the way he incorporates different rhythms. An example of this is his piece Tambor de Yemayá, which successfully mixes electronic music with the legends of Afro-Cuban tradition.
Havana rocked to the beat of DJ Turcio's music for three days, and it will surely happen again on his next visit to Cuba. He is now friends with the Cuban people and that's a bond that will only grow stronger.

MullenLowe has created a SEA unit, appointing Paul Soon to lead. Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong offices will be integrated under the former Possible and XM Asia CEO.
MullenLowe Group has announced it wil combine its operations in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong to create MullenLowe Group Southeast Asia, and it has appointed former XM Asia and Possible CEO Paul Soon as CEO.
Soon was most recently CEO of Possible APAC and has 18 years of experience. In 2000, he founded ADinc.com (Advertising and Digital), which was later acquired by AKQA. He then joined XM Asia, which appointed him APAC CEO in 2011. He will start with MullenLowe in March and report to Vincent Digonnet, CEO of MullenLowe Group APAC.
Adrian Sng, MD of MullenLowe Malaysia, will report to Soon, and Radhe Vaswani, currently MD of MullenLowe Profero Southeast Asia based in Singapore, will move to Hong Kong to take on a newly created position as COO of global clients for MullenLowe Profero. She will focus on Harley Davidson, HSBC and Peninsula in particular, reporting to Digonnet.
The "hyperbundled" agency will bring together creative capabilities, MullenLowe Profero's digital expertise, MullenLowe Mediahub media planning, and the recently acquired MullenLowe Salt PR capability across the three markets, according to the company. MullenLowe created similar groupings in China, Japan and the Greater Mekong over the last six months.
"Singapore and Hong Kong are small domestic markets but huge marketplaces, harbouring the headquarters of all major multinational corporations looking to develop their presence in the rest of Asia," Digonnet said. The move seeks to combine the "world-class creativity…coming out of our Singapore operation" with consulting capabilities, business-transformation expertise based on consumer insights, innovative media, technology, design, CX, UX, social, CRM and analytics in a "seamless" model, he said.
"Paul has the experience, the drive and a deep understanding of both brand-building and business transformation, making him the ideal person to lead the charge," Digonnet added.
Soon said he admires MullenLowe's challenger mindset, entrepreneurial spirit and culture.

Imposter scams that lead to tax fraud and identity theft increase during tax season. Take steps to avoid common tax scams that can wreak havoc on your financial well-being.
Scam #1: Fake IRS tax notice
What is it?
This new scam is a form of phishing, an attempt to obtain a payment or sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and account details by impersonating a reputable company via email, text message, phone call, or social media. Once obtained, your personal or financial information can be used to access your account and steal money.
In this scam, you receive a fake IRS CP2000 notice via email or U.S. mail claiming you owe money as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Email "notices" may contain a payment link, which, once clicked, can infect your computer with a virus or lead to spoof websites requesting sensitive information. Mailed "notices" may request a check made out to "I.R.S." Legitimate CP2000 notices ask taxpayers to make their checks out to "United States Treasury."
Prevention tips:
- Never provide passwords, account numbers, or personal information in response to emails or other messages. The IRS does not solicit information via email, text, or social media.
- Do not reply to suspicious emails or messages — delete them.
If you are a Wells Fargo customer and respond to a suspicious message by clicking a link, opening an attachment, or providing personal information, call us immediately at 1-866-867-5568.
Scam #2: Identity theft
What is it?
Scammers steal your personal information for illegal or fraudulent activities, like filing a tax return in your name.
Prevention tips:
- Use a unique username and password for tax filing software, and update them at least annually.
- Do not share your Social Security number with others unless absolutely necessary.
- Shred sensitive documents before discarding.
- Avoid storing personal information on your mobile devices.
- Review your credit report every year to confirm that the list of credit accounts is accurate. You can receive a free copy of your report every 12 months from each of the credit reporting agencies as well as AnnualCreditReport.com.
Scam #3: Fraudulent phone calls
What are they?
Scammers, posing as the IRS, call claiming you owe taxes or are due a refund.
Prevention tips:
Be wary of discussing financial information if the caller:
- Demands immediate payment
- Uses aggressive tactics, such as threatening arrest, deportation, or license revocation
- Requests credit, debit, or bank account numbers over the phone
- Appears legitimate by sharing the last four digits of your Social Security number or other identifiable information
To help protect yourself, never provide information to someone who calls or emails you first. Instead, contact the IRS directly to confirm the validity of the request. If you think it is a scam, call the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
Know that the IRS will not:
- Ask you to pay using a gift card, pre-paid debit card, or wire transfer
- Threaten to immediately have you arrested or deported for not paying
- Initiate contact with you by email or through social media.
- Request sensitive information by email, texts, or social media.
If you fall for a tax scam
Take action immediately:
- File a complaint using the FTC Complaint Assistant; choose "Other" and then "Imposter Scams." If the complaint involves someone impersonating the IRS, include the words "IRS Telephone Scam" in the notes.
- Report identity theft to IdentityTheft.gov, and follow the steps to obtain your personalized recovery plan.
- Contact your bank to close any affected accounts.
- If your Social Security number is stolen, contact the IRS. Read about Social Security number theft (PDF).

"I don't watch a lot of other basketball away from the gym," Durant says. "But I do look at LeBron's box score. I want to see how many points, rebounds and assists he had, and how he shot from the field. If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to." Durant and James take flak for their friendship, but it is based on a mutual appreciation of the craft. They aren't hanging out at the club. They are feverishly one-upping each other from afar. "People see two young black basketball players at the top of their game and think we should clash," Durant says. "They want the conflict. They want the hate. They forget Bird cried for Magic. A friend was getting on me about this recently, and I said, 'Calm down. I'm not taking it easy on him. Don't you know I'm trying to destroy the guy every time I go on the court?' "The classic "keep your friends close and enemies closer" trick. You are one sneaky dog, KD.

Howard immediately broke into character as a warrior from the movie "300″ clenching both his muscles and his lower jaw.
"Listen, they don't think we can do it," Howard said as he paced in front of a few cameraman. "It's 300 of us against all the Persians! We have to come out tonight. We got to look death in the eyes and say we don't care if we die! We go hard!"
Howard then starting mentioning members of the Lakers, including himself.
"Kobe is watching us at home," Howard said. "Dr Buss is watching us up high! Let's let it out tonight! Everything we got! Everything! Leave it on the floor! Pau, put your big boy pants on! Dwight, hit your free throws! Jodie, hit those threes boy! Now let's get it! Now let's bring it in! Hoorah!"

November 17, 1993, Section A, Page 16Buy Reprints
The Senate voted overwhelmingly today for a Federal law to prohibit bombings, arson and blockades at abortion clinics, and shootings and threats of violence against doctors and nurses who perform abortions..
The vote was 69 to 30. Twenty-eight senators who voted against Federal financing of abortions six weeks ago supported the measure, seeing it as a law-and-order matter rather than as an abortion issue. Senator David Durenberger, Republican of Minnesota, called the bill an effort to restore "civility in our national debates."
Although the bill offers protection to anti-abortion counseling centers as well as to abortion clinics, senators opposed to abortion insisted that the bill was unfair to their side. "This legislation seeks to silence the entire pro-life movement," contended Senator Jesse Helms, Republican of North Carolina. Systematic Campaign Cited
But Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts insisted that Federal legislation was necessary because "anti-abortion violence and blockades have been occurring across the nation as part of a coordinated, systematic campaign to intimidate abortion providers and patients, and state and local authorities have been unable to control it." In contrast, he said, those authorities had been able to police occasional violence against anti-abortion demonstrators.
The measure, which the Clinton Administration has said it "strongly supports," would allow the F.B.I. to investigate attacks on clinics and those who perform abortions and permit the Attorney General to seek injunctions.
The House is expected to adopt a similar bill on Thursday. It is not clear whether enough time remains to enable a House-Senate conference to agree on a compromise before Congress adjourns next week, but final action in both houses seems assured by early next year.
The legislation was spurred by two events last winter, a Supreme Court decision prohibiting the use of a Reconstruction Era statute against Operation Rescue's efforts to blockade abortion clinics and the killing of Dr. David Gunn, who performed abortions in Pensacola, Fla., and had been pictured in "wanted" posters by abortion foes. Delayed by Other Legislation
The Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee sent the bill to the full Senate on June 23, but action was delayed by consideration of budget and spending measures.
Last Wednesday, Senator Kennedy, chairman of the Labor Committee, threatened to offer the bill as an amendment to the crime bill, which many opponents of this measure want to support.
Pressed by Mr. Kennedy and Senator George J. Mitchell of Maine, Senator Don Nickles, an Oklahoma Republican, agreed to a procedure under which he and other opponents would not filibuster against the bill, would limit the number of amendments and would permit Senator Kennedy to offer weaker substitutes for their amendments. He did so successfully all day long before the vote for final passage of the bill.
The most insistent complaint from foes of the bill was over the argument that the only violence outside clinics that the bill addressed was violence against supporters of abortion rights, not against foes of abortion.
Senator Bob Smith, Republican of New Hampshire, compared anti-abortion protesters to the followers of Dr. Martin Luther King, and said that as long as they were not violent, they should not be subject to serious penalties. He said protesters were "heroes yesterday, felons today."
"What's the difference?" he asked. "The difference is what you're protesting." Right to Assemble
Senator Strom Thurmond, Republican of South Carolina, said the bill "raises the right of abortion above the Constitution," particularly the First Amendment right to assemble.
But other senators who have cast votes against abortion rights advocates felt differently. Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, cited "the senseless murder of Dr. Gunn," and said, "There is no cause that justifies violence."
Mr. Durenberger argued: "This legislation strikes the right balance between protecting clinic patients and protecting the legitimate rights of clinic protesters. No one will be jailed for gathering in front of a clinic, picketing, praying, chanting, shouting, holding signs, waving banners or sidewalk counseling."
But he said that while he opposed the Supreme Court's view of the legitimacy of abortion, "I cannot stand here and condone the harassment, violence and blockades against women and doctors who are exercising or attempting to exercise their constitutional right, even though I may disagree with them."
Senator Barbara Boxer, Democrat of California, an abortion rights supporter who helped Mr. Kennedy manage the bill, said: "This year we have witnessed a growing, nationwide campaign of violence directed at reproductive health care clinics. What were once peaceful protests have escalated to acts of force and terror." Doctors Offices as 'War Zones'
She said that because of the anti-abortion movement, American women "have seen their doctors' offices transformed from safety zones into war zones."
Mr. Kennedy said that over the last 15 years, "more than 1,000 acts of violence against abortion providers have been documented in the United States. Over 100 clinics have been bombed or burned to the ground."
He said the problem was getting worse, citing a recent survey by the Feminist Majority Foundation, which showed that half of 281 abortion clinics that responded to a survey it conducted this summer reported violence against them in the first seven months of the year.
After the bill was passed, Mr. Kennedy told reporters, "This is a resounding victory for law and order, a clear message to those who have been terrorizing doctors and women and nurses all across the country."

White House assures Veterans health reform will not reduce benefits
from The Gov Monitor
As Assistant Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, a constant concern for me is having our Veterans dragged into partisan politics. Unfortunately the debate over health reform has seen that happen far too many times, and at the VA we often have to correct misinformation and assure Veterans that the care they rely on will not be taken away from them.

I was exempt from having to turn in my list since I've been telling Aaron for the last 2 weeks what I want for Christmas! I've honestly racked my brain thinking of what else to ask for but I really only want 2 things--nothing more, nothing less. (Aaron, I'm making this really easy for you!)
[It's probably about time I get a pair of these!]
And I've read good reviews about this stuff (Clinique Mineral Powder).
Anyone ever used this or have other recommendations for good face makeup??Also, head on over to my friend Diana's adorable blog to read about my favorite Christmas tradition! And while you're there take a look at her Design blog too--soooo talented!

While all good things must come to an end, Game of Thrones is still going strong as Season 4 winds to a close, with HBO renewing the show for Season 5 and Season 6 back in April. Series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed in March that they want to end the show in either Season 7 or Season 8, since author George R.R. Martin has revealed that his book series entitled "A Song of Fire and Ice" will be told over seven books, the last two of which have not been published yet. During a Q&A session on Suvudu, George R.R. Martin's book editor Anne Groell revealed that the author may be planning an eighth book.
When asked by a fan if George R.R. Martin will need more than seven books to wrap up A Song of Fire and Ice, Anne Groell revealed that the series was originally planned as a trilogy, before it grew into a seven or possibly eight-book series.
"I begin to wonder-though 7 is what we currently have under contract. I remember when he called me, years and years back, to confess that his little trilogy was...well...no longer a trilogy. He predicted four books. I said Seven Books for Seven Kingdoms. Then he said five books. I said Seven Books for Seven Kingdoms. Then he went to six. I said... Well, you get it. Finally, we were on the same page. Seven Books for Seven Kingdoms. Good. Only, as I recently learned while editing The World of Ice and Fire (another awesome thing you must buy when it comes out!), there are really technically eight kingdoms, all having to do with who has annexed what when Aegon the Conqueror landed in Westeros. So, maybe eight books for Seven Kingdoms would be okay. Also, he has promised me that, when he finally wraps this great beast up, I can publish the five page letter outlining the bare bones of the trilogy."
While it isn't known when the sixth and seventh books, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring will be published, our report from March revealed that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss met with George R.R. Martin to discuss the ending of his books, since the show is starting to catch up with the novels he has already written.
