Today Whitehorse is a vibrant tiny City with every amenity of a cosmopolitan capital: Art galleries, theatres, trendy coffee shops serving fabulous treats and Yukon roasted fair trade coffee, gorgeous B&B's and smart hotels abound.
There are tons of activities to explore, perhaps new ones you've never tried before. Winter and summer Whitehorse has something for everyone, unique activities in a breathtaking setting.
Truly a Wilderness City, Whitehorse nestles on the banks of the Yukon River and many modern day explorers, and those of us who just like to gaze at the wilderness, while travelling in comfort by boat or RV, set off from here to tour the Yukon and Alaska.
Whitehorse has everything you need to enjoy a trip into the wilderness by canoe, RV, or car. Our many Wilderness Operators are ready to take you on guided trips or you can set off on your own to explore the many rivers, mountains or lakes that the Yukon has to offer.
You can book a stay at our fabulous lodges, find a guide and go fishing, enjoy the long summer days or come in the fall and winter and view the magical Aurora.
And Whitehorse is especially fun for a family! Its very hard to find a better place to have a holiday with children, we have everything they love: lakes to swim in, trolleys to take, little trains to ride, a huge Canada Games Centre with an Aquatic Centre and water slide, places to fish, and best of all lovely camping sites (and no need for a light in the summer, its always bright in your tent or RV). Our Hotsprings also offers a zip line and a rock-climbing wall plus great camping!
The outdoors may be why people come to Whitehorse but it's the hospitality of the people that our visitors remember. We're so very proud of our community that we love to share it with visitors from all over the World. Once you get on the Air North flight you'll immediately experience Yukon hospitality and know you made the right decision to come North and pay us a visit!

Even though the Johnson Governors boys hockey team controlled the action throughout most of the game, the momentum changed in favor of the North High Polars in the second period at Polar Arena Tuesday, Dec. 9.
A year ago the North High Polars girls basketball squad didn't win a game until five games into the season.
(Linda Baumeister/Review)
It looked like Hill Murray was going to simply run away from the football competition Oct. 25 in Section 4AAAA semifinal action against Johnson.
The North High Polars traveled to Phalen Arena Tuesday, Dec.10, for a hard-skating, good end-to-end contest with the Johnson Governors and emerged on top, 4-1.
"It was a bit sloppy," said North veteran mentor Jerry Diebel at game's end. "But Johnson is that kind of club. They make you look 'sloppy' out there on the ice. But both teams played hard and gave a good effort.

The date of the 100-year anniversary celebration of the Johnson High School boys hockey team is getting close at hand.
The celebration will be Saturday, Dec. 21, and things are beginning to really heat up for a get-together of East Siders that might prove hard to handle -- especially when it involves old hockey players, with old memories.
The event is billed as "The Pride of the East Side."

Almost before the sparse number of spectators had settled into their seats and wrapped their blankets around their shoulders at Bakken Field on the Harding High School campus, the Hill-Murray Pioneers had built a lead they would not surrender in the Section 4, Class AAAA football playoff game with the Johnson Governors on Saturday, Oct. 26.
After the 20-point triumph, Hill-Murray first-year head coach Tony Danna said, "When you score that many points at the beginning of a game, you put the other team in a tough situation.

CARSON, Calif. (Monday, September 17, 2012) – Fulfilling a commitment made by AEG and the LA Galaxy last November ahead of the club's 2011 MLS Cup championship, the Galaxy and AEG have donated a new soccer and sports field that will be shared by the adjoining Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA and Sunrise Elementary School.
In partnership with Partnership LA, installation of the brand new 35,000 square foot Tifway Bermuda Grass field has just completed. To commemorate the donation and installation, current Galaxy players Sean Franklin, Bryan Jordan and Josh Saunders, as well as former Galaxy All-Star and 2002 FIFA World Cup veteran Clint Mathis, will be on-hand to conduct a soccer clinic with 80 children from Sunrise Elementary School on Tuesday afternoon.
The Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA currently teaches physical education to more than 600 Sunrise Elementary School (adjacent to the YMCA) students on a daily basis on what up until now, was a poorly kept field with unkempt patches of grass, large areas of dirt only and an unlevel surface. The Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA will use the newly installed soccer field for their after school soccer and football programs.

Since my call for testing the extended linuxulator in FreeBSD-current we got not much negative responses. Ping doesn't work on the linux side (fixed in p4), ordinary network connections (e.g. downloading some stuff) works fine. There seems to be a deadlock on SMP systems when compiling a lot of stuff in parallel (e.g. using emerge in a gentoo-chroot with MAKEFLAGS=-j4), this is being under investigation by Roman. Compiling stuff serially on an UP system works just fine so far.
I'm wondering if the lack of responses means that everything is running just fine, or that nobody is giving it a try. So far the daily use of linux programs (acroread, linux-firefox, …) with 2.6.16 compatibility seems to just work fine on UP and SMP systems and currently I don't see a reason to not switch the default in i386 in a week.
Jung-uk Kim is working on the linux-TLS on amd64 part. ATM he is chasing bugs. It looks we can get feature parity between i386/linux and amd64/linux32 soon.
Intron did send in a patch for the linux-aio stuff. Now I just need to get time to have a look at it.

From ESPN.com news services
NEW YORK — More than a generation after the historic "Miracle On Ice" game in the 1980 Winter Olympics, 58-year-old Mike Eruzione is parting with his iconic No. 21 USA jersey, hockey stick and other Olympic paraphernalia.
Eruzione's white jersey alone is expected to fetch more than $1 million, but some sports memorabilia experts think it could go considerably higher. Eruzione scored the sensational winning goal against the Soviet hockey team in Lake Placid, N.Y., catapulting the Americans toward the gold medal.
"It's history as much as it is sports," said Phil Castinetti, owner of Sportsworld in Saugus, Mass., which bills itself as New England's largest sports memorabilia store.
"It was back when the Americans were all amateurs and playing against a professional Soviet team that was supposedly unbeatable. It was the Cold War. … The Americans were big underdogs. It was a worldwide event that was incredible," Castinetti said.
The auction record for any piece of hockey memorabilia is $1.2 million, set in 2010 for the jersey Paul Henderson wore when he scored the winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviets.
Unlike Olympians of today, Eruzione, who was captain of his team in Lake Placid, received no lucrative endorsements. But he said he's not hurting financially and is selling the prized items to help out his three adult children and grandson.
"I thought this would be a great little nest egg for them for their future with their kids," he said in a telephone interview, adding the memorabilia had languished in his USA hockey bag in the attic of his Winthrop, Mass., home, ever since that memorable day.
Eruzione said the auction proceeds from his collection will also benefit his Winthrop Foundation founded in his hometown, just outside Boston.
The Americans beat the Soviets 4-3 — perhaps the greatest sporting moment of the 20th century — after Eruzione scored what would be the winning goal with 10 minutes left in the semifinal game. Two days later, the team clinched the gold when it beat Finland. The Soviets won the silver medal.
"As long as I'm alive, the gold medal won't be sold," said Eruzione, who is director of special outreach at Boston University and a partner in a nutritional supplement business that includes several other ex-Olympians, including gymnasts Nadia Comaneci and Bart Conner.
"The medal is what it's all about," Eruzione said. "That's what we played for."
But the sale does include "Miracle On Ice" forward Steve Christoff's gold medal, estimated to bring $400,000. He was the only player on the gold-medal team to score multiple points, and the first player from the "Miracle On Ice" team to be drafted and go to the NHL, playing for the Minnesota North Stars and the Los Angeles Kings.
It's estimated that Eruzione's hockey stick will sell for $50,000. In addition, he is selling the blue jersey he wore when he won the gold, estimated at $200,000, and the glove and warm-up suit he wore to the podium when he accepted the gold, both estimated to bring $10,000.
"Unlike any other sports collectible, I can see Eruzione's collection and Christoff's gold medal finding their way into people's homes who are not necessarily sports fans, because this was patriotic. They made movies and documentaries about this," said Howie Schwartz, CEO of Grandstand Sports in New York City, a sports and entertainment memorabilia venture that has had exclusive deals with the "Miracle On Ice" team over the years for autographed merchandise and appearances.
"It was the biggest upset in sports history," he said. "In my eyes, Eruzione's collection is a seven-figure sale, as is Christoff's gold medal."
Eruzione said he hopes whoever buys his pieces will appreciate them as much as he has.
"It was a special, proud moment," he said. "It was not just a great moment for me and my teammates, but a great moment for the United States."

5 lbs Italian prune plums, pitted and halved
2 cups light brown sugar
1 large cinnamon stick (optional)
Place the plums, sugar and cinnamon stick in an oval, six-quart slow cooker. Cook on low 12-18 hrs, leaving the lid slightly askew for the second half of the cooking time. Cook until a thick paste forms with little to no visible "liquid". Use an immersion blender to process until smooth. Prep your jars/lids. Pour the butter in the jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Yield: about 1 pint "Elite" Ball jar, one 8-oz jar and 1 4-oz jar
Note: A great source for canning information is the Blue Book guide to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here are some of my other favorite canning books and supplies.

Pet health report card shows some failing grades
The largest veterinary group in America has taken a snapshot of the state of pet health in 2011 and the picture isn't pretty.
Banfield, which has 770 pet hospitals in 43 states, has sifted through 2010 information from 2.1 million dogs and 450,000 cats and has come up with some disturbing conclusions:
* Like humans, dogs and cats have experienced a "startling" increase in diabetes. Since 2006, there has been a 32 percent increase in the rate of canine diabetes mellitus and a 16 percent jump in feline diabetes mellitus.
* Owners need to do a better job of controlling obesity in cats.
* Owners are not taking the threat of heartworm disease, a potential killer, seriously enough.
* Dental disease is the most common disorder for cats and dogs and it leaves animals at risk for more serious complications affecting the heart, kidneys and liver.

ORLANDO -- Walt Disney World and neighboring attractions at Universal Orlando reopened Tuesday after missing a major hit from Hurricane Irma.
The Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios opened at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Disney resort hotels remained open during Irma, but the parks were closed Sunday and Monday. "We hope to resume normal operations on Tuesday, September 12," advised Disney's site Monday morning.

Disney has had full-day closures of the Magic Kingdom only four other times in its history: in 1999 for Hurricane Floyd, 2004 for Hurricane Frances, 2004 for Hurricane Jeanne and last year for Matthew. The Magic Kingdom was also closed for part of the day Oct. 24, 2005 for Hurricane Wilma.
After making landfall in Florida early Sunday morning as a Category 4, the center of the storm passed west of Orlando early Monday morning. At that point it had weakened to a Category 1 hurricane, with winds of 85 miles per hour.
The park did not lose power, but was hit with high winds and rain. Many trees were downed across its properties and some buildings had water leaks, according to reports on Twitter. Electric transformers near Disney's Contemporary Resort reportedly exploded.
Disney World parking areas had served as a staging ground for electrical repair crews and utility trucks coming to help restore power to the region.

In Orlando, Walt Disney has not only its amusement parks, but also more than 25 resort hotel to house vacationers.
All of these popular attractions are just south of Orlando, with Universal Orlando Resort, which includes The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and SeaWorld Orlando just northeast of Disney.
Universal Studios said its parks "saw relatively minor damage overnight involving fences, trees, signage and building facades," in a statement to USA TODAY. Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal's Volcano Bay were scheduled to open at 9 a.m. ET Tuesday.
SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Orlando will remain closed Tuesday "to allow for additional debris clean-up from Hurricane Irma," but is expected to open on Wednesday, the park said.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will also remain closed Tuesday, to allow for debris clean-up from Hurricane Irma. but is expected to reopen Wednesday.

Report states insufficient data makes it impossible to say whether emissions can cause long-term health effects.
Insufficient data on servicemembers' exposures to emissions from open-air burn pits for trash on military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan is one of the reasons why it is not possible to say whether these emissions could cause long-term health effects, according to a new Institute of Medicine report. High background levels of ambient pollution from other sources and lack of information on the quantities and composition of wastes burned in the pits also complicate interpretation of the data.
During deployment to a war zone, military personnel can be exposed to a variety of environmental hazards, many of which have been associated with long-term adverse health outcomes such as cancer and respiratory disease. Many veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have health problems that they worry are related to their exposure to burn pits on military bases. Special attention has been focused on the burn pit at Joint Base Balad (JBB), one of the largest U.S. military bases in Iraq and a central logistics hub.
Based on its analysis of raw data from air monitoring efforts at JBB conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense, the committee that wrote the report concluded that levels of most pollutants of concern at the base were not higher than levels measured at other polluted sites worldwide. Moreover, research on other populations exposed to complex mixtures of pollutants, primarily firefighters and workers at municipal waste incineration plants, has not indicated increased risk for long-term health consequences such as cancer, heart disease, and most respiratory illnesses among these groups.
Even so, the committee pointed out shortcomings in research and gaps in evidence that prevented them from drawing firm conclusions, and it recommended a path to overcome some of these limitations. Lack of information on the specific quantities and types of wastes burned and on other sources of background pollution when air samples were being collected meant it was difficult to correlate pit emissions, including smoke events, with potential health outcomes. Different types of wastes produce different combinations of chemical emissions with the possibility of different health outcomes in those exposed. Moreover, it is hard to determine whether surrogate populations such as firefighters experience exposures to pollutants and durations of exposures similar to those of servicemembers stationed at JBB.
The report recommends that a study be conducted to evaluate the health status of servicemembers from their time of deployment to JBB over many years to determine their incidence of chronic diseases, including cancers, that tend not to show up for decades. In addition, it recommends a tiered approach to gathering data to better characterize exposures to the complex mixture of burn pit emissions in light of the presence of other sources of pollutants in the ambient environment.
Given the variety of hazards and substances to which military personnel are exposed in the field, service in Iraq and Afghanistan in general – rather than exposure to burn pits only – might be associated with long-term health effects, the committee noted. A specific concern is the high ambient concentrations of particulate matter generated by both human activities and natural sources. Risks may be greater for those who are especially susceptible to health problems, including individuals with asthma or those who encountered high concentrations of substances or had prolonged exposures.

Dual pressure controller
The DPC 1 dual pressure controller was designed for dual-line lubrication systems that use a change-over valve controlled by an end-of-line pressure switch unit. The controller increases the energy efficiency of the system by matching the operating pressure to the ambient conditions. As a result, the pump motor only runs for as long as is required for pressure buildup. In the case of air-operated driven pumps, compressed air is conserved. The DPC 1 controller consists of a housing with integrated control electronics, an LCD and a membrane keypad.
Features and benefits:
- Monitors proper function of system with regard to pump and change-over valve and detects tube line leaks
- Self-adjusting operating pressure increases service cycle of system components
- Integrated timer enables system operation without separate controller
- Measures the absolute min. and max. in the main lines
- Measures the differential pressure minimum and maximum
- IP 65 protection rating
Shockproof for rigorous environments
- Paper mills
- Steel mills
- Heavy industry
- Beverage industry

Journey management.
Manage the customer journey from anonymous prospect to loyal advocate.
Meeting the needs of your customers every step of the way.
Success in the experience business requires a seamless customer journey — regardless of the route your customers take. You need to co-ordinate marketing tactics to drive engagement throughout each phase. It can be difficult, costly and complicated. It's not uncommon to hear marketers like you say:
"I want to give customers the same experiences off-line as they have online."
Disconnected experiences throughout the journey leave your customers scratching their heads. Cohesive customer journeys are all about making customers feel as if you know them — on any channel they use to engage with you.
"I need to reach my customers on mobile devices just as well as I do online."
Your customers expect you to meet them wherever they are — which means mobile needs to be seamlessly incorporated into every customer journey. If you don't deliver, they'll find someone who will.
"There should be a way to know the impact my content has."
When you don't deliver digital assets in a way that lets you track their performance, you can't optimise your messages — or even the channels you use. The result, all too often, is inefficient ad spend and fewer conversions.
There's no substitute for customers who enjoy the journey.
Engaged customers are 5x more likely to buy from the same brand again.
Highly engaged customers buy 90% more often.
Highly engaged customers buy 60% more per transaction.
Why Engaged Customers Are Your Best Customers: Facts & Figures on the Value of Engagement, Currents Blog by Rosetta, 18 March 2015
The solution
Let your customer choose a journey that's as unique as they are.
Journey misjudgment vs. journey management.
Journey misjudgment is forcing customers into a web of disconnected experiences, with the result often being that they abandon the journey altogether. Inefficient marketing technologies, disparate data and one-off campaigns fail to provide the experiences customers need to help them to choose your products and services.
Journey management means evolving to meet the needs of your customers — from anonymous prospect to loyal advocate. They make their own way and know you will meet them there. And because you can predict customer behaviour for any audience segment, you also find more effective ways to influence each segment.
Journey management = the ability to create engaging experiences at any point to increase revenue and loyalty, while improving operational marketing efficiency.
Meet your customers where they are. With proactive journey management, your brand will:
more about audience behaviour and interests.
more about audience behaviour and interests.
your customers at each step of the journey.

It took only two seconds into tonight's Flames-Canucks game for total madness. After the opening puck dropped, every player on the ice—but the goalies—paired up and threw punches.
This wasn't totally unpredictable, though, if one looked at the lineups. As the announcers in the video explain, the Flames, being the visiting team, released their starting lineup first, which was actually their fourth line. Once the Canucks saw that, coach John Tortorella did the same. That's how Vancouver winger Kellan Lain, making his NHL debut tonight, ended up spending his first professional seconds punching someone in the face. (Relevant: This article about Lain's first game from earlier today quotes him as saying, "I just try to play kind of a mean game.")
Lain, along with the other nine players, were given majors for fighting and game misconducts. Adding in a two-minute penalty on Calgary's Kevin Westgarth for roughing, a total of 152 penalty minutes were recorded in those first two seconds. There was also one unhappy Tortorella, who was leaning over the bench and yelling at Calgary's side as everything unfolded.
And the Torts rage didn't end there. Between periods, Tortorella—still visibly furious—went outside of the Flames' locker room to have another chat, resulting in a bunch of hockey players and some angry coaches all stuffed into a hallway, shoving and yelling. Heads are still far from cool.

Sad Skinny Tom
Here's the new PEOPLE cover. As you can see, they picked a shot of his "sad eyes". His world is "shattered". It's his "private pain". That's what we, the women, respond to isn't it? Tom Cruise the victim? He is hurting. He needs a hug. That may have been his only play but that doesn't mean it's a bad one. I'll come back to this in a minute.
As you know, Tom saw Suri for the first time yesterday since Katie Holmes blindsided him with the divorce proceedings. He took her to gymnastics surrounded by paparazzi, also now known as the Katie Holmes security team. As you can see, he's looking better in his jeans. Leaner, right?
Of course.
Because he's so heartbroken he can't eat!
Come on. Somewhere out there a woman wants to hold him, feed him, and make it all better.
You know what I find interesting? Katie broke free of Tom's control and we cheered. He changed her name, he did not allow her to take the jobs she wanted to take, he supposedly had a say in what she wore, who she talked to, who she spent her time with. And that's... sick, obviously. And disturbing. And frightening.
Not unlike how Christian Grey dominates Anastasia Steele in the pathetic Fifty Shades Of Grey. He even tells her when to eat and how much to sleep. And yet. And yet so many women are rubbing themselves under the sheets over that story. It's not the sex scenes people are responding to. It's the idea of a man with such power over this woman, lured by "love". A damaged man who is eventually saved by her...even though he can still punish her for - gasp! - daring to talk back to him.
Somehow this is fantasy? The make-believe world we escape to when we want to get away from life? I don't understand it but I'll go ahead and label it: regression. I am confused by those who would cheer Katie Holmes while at the same time get wet over the account of a young impressionable girl being completely overtaken by a rich man and molded accordingly. What is it that we want?
Shut the f-ck up, Lainey. Enough with the crusading.
But I just cast Katie Holmes in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades. Yes?

Maybe the city ought to start small and municipalize the cable TV and Internet system first. More of us would save money, for one thing: Houses with PV systems (subsidized by Xcel) already probably spend more on cable and Internet service than they do on electricity, as do the majority of units in multifamily housing.
Also, the PUC protects us against predatory behavior from Xcel, but don't regulate cable companies even though they have little or no competition in many areas (DSL is not even available where I live, and is very slow compared with cable nearly everywhere else).
Comcast can raise rates or cut service at their whim: Case in point is their recent rearranging of the channels viewable in HD with HDTVs with built-in tuners (channel 4 was moved to 64-2, which is very confusing). They've also threatened to scramble *all* basic cable channels, which not only violates the spirit of the Carterfone regulation (which allowed consumers to use their own phones/fax machines/modems instead of having to lease them from AT&T) but also requires leasing one or more cable boxes that waste at least four-square-feet of floor space and consume 30 watts of electricity even when they're not on (about $50 a year, each). Unlike the PUC and Xcel, city regulators seem to have no control over these types of actions by Comcast.
As energy efficiency increases as does our dependence on the Internet, the city really ought to focus their efforts on what we need for the future instead of what was key in the past. Seems to me we're already getting the better deal from Xcel: Customers statewide have long subsidized our PV installs (Boulder customers have received 20 percent of rebates, yet are only 5 percent of customers) and we can already sign up for Windsource if we want to pay market rates for renewable-sourced electricity.
Most of us have no such alternative for Internet service. Maybe the city could even use the savings from cable and Internet service to subsidize Windsource for Boulder residents and solve both problems much more easily and with a small fraction of the risk of what they're currently planning.

Cito Gaston Exclusive Interview: 2015 Blue Jays
Watch as I discuss the 2015 Blue Jays with Cito Gaston, and we make connections to the 1992 and 1993 World Championship teams that he managed. The 3-part interview is posted below.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
History Repeating Itself?
With each win, the 2015 Blue Jays climb closer to that long-awaited playoff birth.
The Championships of 1992 and 1993 seem SO long ago. They were. I have friends who weren't even alive for the Jays first World Series title.
But with AA pulling off a sequence of blockbuster trades, and those pieces making an immediate impact, suddenly the connections between the '92 and '93 squads and the current team don't seem so far-fetched. In the off-season, late 1991, the Jays signed free agents Jack Morris and Dave Winfield (on consecutive days). Those who watched the 1992 team will no doubt remember the significance both Morris and Winfield had during the regular season, and during October baseball. In the off-season this past winter, the Jays signed free agent Russell Martin, and 10 days later pulled off a mammoth trade for Josh Donaldson. It's obvious what an impact those two have made thus far.
It's the end of August and the Jays are in first place, two games up on the Yankees. Hey, they've already started selling post-season tickets!
There are so many moments from both championships that stand out for many fans, but one of the most talked about is the "triple play that wasn't" during the 1992 World Series.
I reminisced with Kelly Gruber, the Jays third baseman during that memorable play.
Fans may remember that in fact, it was this very day, August 27th, back in 1992, when Jeff Kent and Ryan Thompson were traded to the Mets for David Cone. Cone would contribute to the championship with a 1 – 1 record and 3.22 ERA.
David Price has been the masterful pitcher everyone expected he would be, upon his arrival. Toronto has their first true ace since Roy Halladay. It's exciting to think about what he could accomplish this October.
Over two decades after Carter's home run disappeared over that left field wall, we find our blue birds that much closer to going back to the playoffs and possibly taking another run at a World Series.
So, is history repeating itself?

Editor's note: In early 2012, the government released several journalists and eased some restrictions, although the nation remained among the world's most repressed.
Burma's news media remained among the most restricted in the world, despite the transition from military to civilian rule and President Thein Sein's vow to adopt a more liberal approach. The Press Scrutiny and Registration Department reviewed all local news journals prior to publication, censoring a vast array of topics. Criticism of the government and military was forbidden, although censors allowed more coverage of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and some political and economic topics. Authorities exercised control with a vengeance: The nation was still among the world's worst jailers of the press. Exile-run media continued to fill the news gap, but at a high cost: At least five undercover reporters for exile media were imprisoned. Regulations adopted in May banned the use of flash drives and VoIP communication services in Internet cafés.
With the number of imprisoned journalists virtually unchanged, the new civilian government's record reflected no improvement from the oppressive approach taken by the military junta.
Two undercover reporters for the Democratic Voice of Burma were handed long prison sentences in 2011, CPJ research shows. Authorities have targeted exile media reporters in response to their censorship-evading reports, according to CPJ research. Burma remained among the world's five worst jailers of the press.
1: Iran: 42
2: Eritrea: 28
3: China: 27
4: Burma: 12
5: Vietnam: 9
6: Syria: 8
Strict censorship continued to force the nation's 174 newspapers and journals to publish weekly rather than daily. Censors reviewed all content prior to publication, typically ordering the removal of numerous articles. Censors also compelled editors to publish state-prepared news and commentaries that presented the government in a glowing light. CPJ has ranked Burma as the second most censored nation in the world.
Authorities failed to hold anyone accountable for the killing of Japanese photojournalist Kenji Nagai, who was shot by troops while filming an armed government crackdown on street demonstrators on September 27, 2007, according to CPJ research. Burma has seen other instances of deadly official violence against the press.
Deaths attributable to the government:
1997: U Hla Han, a staff member of the state-owned newspaper Kyemon, died in government custody. DVB reported that he had been tortured.
1997: U Tha Win, another Kyemon staff member, also died in custody amid allegations of torture.
2007: Nagai was shot by government troops.
With limited infrastructure, costly connections, and severe online restrictions, Burma has the world's fourth lowest Internet penetration rate, according to the most recent data from the International Telecommunication Union, or ITU.
1. North Korea: 0 percent
2. East Timor: 0.21
3. Liberia: 0.07
4. Burma: 0.22
5. Sierra Leone: 0.26

The buildings range in type from a small, one-story office building, to three and four-story rowhouses, large detached houses, churches, small apartment buildings, monumental apartments and institutional buildings. They generally date from c.1875-to the 1920s, and their styles, including Italianate, Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, and the many styles of the Beaux Arts, clearly reflect the eclectic character of American architecture. The street was developed primarily with rowhouses, most of which were individually designed and built. Large detached houses are also found in this district, one of the best-preserved and visually interesting late-19th-early 20th-century streetscapes in DC.
Some of the earliest houses stand on the northwest corner of 16th and T Streets. The two Italianate structures at 1900 and 1902 16th Street date from 1878. More common are the brick rowhouses with projecting bays and fanciful rooflines. An early example dating from 1875 stands at 1904 16th Street. This two-story house is two bays wide with a steep pitched gable. One of the finest examples of the Italian bracketed style still standing is the 1878 Huntley House at 1601 16th Street. Perhaps the finest of the Queen Anne houses are those in the row at 1837-41 16th Street. Built in 1890, these houses incorporate the irregularity of massing, variety of color and texture, and the round turrets of the style.
A number of Richardsonian Romanesque houses still stand such as the Sherman House at 1401 16th Street which was built in 1888 by Charles and Samuel Edmonston. The three-story Hampton P. Denman House at 1623 16th Street was designed by Fuller and Wheeler in 1886. The outstanding example of this style is 1628 16th Street designed in 1890 by Harvey Page. A house which reflects the varied sources of eclecticism is the Flemish Revival House at 1720 16th Street, which was built in 1892. An excellent example of Federal Revival stands at 1610 R Street. It was designed in 1910 by Jules H. deSibour.
Institutional uses also began to spread up 16th Street at about the same time the Beaux Arts classicism that was influenced by the 1893 Colombian Exposition began to sweep the country. The Carnegie Institution at 1530 P Street, designed in 1908 by Carrère and Hastings, and the Jewish Community Center at 1529 16th Street, designed by B. Stanley Simmons in 1920, are excellent examples of Neo-classical design.
Late Gothic Revival can be seen in the Church of the Holy City at 1611 16th Street designed in 1895 by R. Langford Warren and built by Paul J. Pelz. Gothic elements were also applied to the Chastleton at 1701 16th Street, one of Harry Wardman's buildings. One of the district's most unusual buildings is the Temple of the Scottish Rite at 1733 16th Street. Designed by John Russell Pope and constructed between 1911 and 15, it was modeled after the tomb of King Mausolus at Halicarnassus.
The architects responsible for these buildings include many of the most prominent architects working in DC at this time. On 16th Street, their buildings, and those of many others, work exceptionally well. The imaginative, varied facades of these buildings create a rhythmic streetscape and a continuous visual experience seldom so well preserved in the District of Columbia.
The 16th Street Historic District includes buildings fronting on 16th St., NW, from Scott Circle to Florida Ave. The buildings are private residences and not open to the public. Metro stop: Dupont Circle or U Street-Cardozo

Using oil on our faces has become quite popular lately, but for good reason — facial oils can improve hydration levels, elasticity and overall skin quality. I recently tried ACURE's Marula Oil, which is 100% pure and wildcrafted without pesticides. If you're familiar with argan or jojoba oil, marula oil is less heavy than argan and more similar to jojoba.
What is marula and where does it come from? The Marula tree is in the same family (Anacardiaceae) as the cashew, mango, and pistachio nut and is indigenous to Southern Africa.

The great thing about marula oil is that it works well for all skin types. Aside from using it on my face and neck to moisturize and prevent fine lines, I've also loved using it as a split-end treatment and eye makeup remover. When using the oil on your face or hair, a few drops go a long way so this bottle really lasts and is super reasonable at $15.99. The fact that it has no odor makes it an excellent choice for sensitive skin and/or sensitive noses.

It's also nice to know that purchasing ACURE's Marula Oil supports The Marula Project, which provides economic empowerment to the South African women who harvest and process the oil.

On November 18th, 1918, the Republic of Latvia was officially proclaimed by the Latvian Provisional Government in the space that is now the National Theatre in Rīga.
There was still a fight to retain the independence of this new republic, and it is important that we do not forget that. I only learned about the Latvian War of Independence that came afterwards when I started researching and learning about Latvian history on my own – the way my diaspora Latvian school had always taught it, after November 18, 1918, everything was sunshine and roses. We knew that there was a war of independence, but they weren't specific about when it took place, so that led me to think it was before November 18, 1918, when it was in fact afterwards.
As my post last week on November 11, Lāčplēsis Day, described, the Latvian War of Independence took place through 1919 and part of 1920. Independence was recognized internationally in 1921, with Latvia joining the League of Nations on September 22, 1921.
Here is the text of the Latvian national anthem, written by Kārlis Baumanis in 1873. It was selected as the anthem on June 7, 1920, by the Constitutional Assembly.
Dievs, svētī Latviju,
Mūs' dārgo tēviju,
Svētī jel Latviju,
Ak, svētī jel to!
Kur latvju meitas zied,
Kur latvju dēli dzied,
Laid mums tur laimē diet,
Mūs' Latvijā!

NFL Training camp season is always a time for irrational exuberance. Every team thinks it can win the Super Bowl, even though 31 of those teams will end being horribly wrong. And so, to preview the upcoming NFL season, which could be the most unpredictable ever, we now give you five reasons why your favorite team could win the Super Bowl. Today, it's the Indianapolis Colts.
1. Because Indy fans can always count on the reliable veteran that is... KERRY COLLINS?! I should have known Peyton Manning's neck injury was deathly serious when both Peter King and Tony Dungy declared this week that Manning was a lock to be under center in Week 1. Manning has never missed a start in his professional career, but he's come awfully close thanks to various nagging injuries over the years. No one quite knows when Manning will be back from his neck surgery, and the signing of Kerry Collins out of retirement makes it seem like the Colts know that it's more likely than ever that PeyPey could be sidelined at some point during the season. Sure, maybe he guts it out and starts in Week 1. But who knows what will happen after that. Collins' signing is a bad omen, because this team is nothing without Manning. It reminds me of this famous exchange between former Colts OC Tom Moore and an anonymous reporter back when Jim Sorgi was Peyton's backup:
Reporter – So you don't want (Sorgi) to get any practice with the first team, in case Peyton goes down?
Moore – Well, if Peyton goes down, we are (expletive).
Reporter – So why not give Sorgi some first team reps just in case he does?
Moore – Why would we practice being (expletive)?
As you can see, it's a difficult situation. However...
2. Peyton Manning will set his dad on fire before he lets anyone else start. If you can count on anyone to start with a busted neck and not show ill effects from it, Peyton would be your guy. As long as he's a Colt and as long he's not medically dead, this is a potential playoff team. And the Colts also have the obscene luxury of playing in a division which goes to great lengths to keep them in first place. Even if he plays only 10 games or so, Manning can probably still lead this team to nine wins and a division crown.
3. Austin Collie feels great! He really does! Peyton had to make on offense out of scraps of wood and twine last season thanks to injuries sidelining both Dallas Clark and Austin Collie. But Clark is back now, and Collie has already done the obligatory SI puff piece in which he declares himself totally healthy even though one more bad hit could force him to sit down for weeks, if not forever. With Collie and Clark in the fold, Peyton finally has his full arsenal back. Running back is still an issue with Joe Addai always getting hurt and Donald Brown failing to be consistent. But the Colts have always been a passing team under Manning, and they will be so long as that neck holds up.
4. The pass rush still rules. Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis have been at this for a while now, and the Colts brought in a bit of line help (Tommie Harris and Jamaal Anderson) to give their bookend rushers more leeway to terrorize opposing QBs as they see fit. When this team works, it's with Peyton grabbing an early lead and then the rushers teeing off and forcing turnovers. All the pieces for that are still in place. Whether or not they hold up for a full year after all that mileage is another matter.
5. No more relying on the unreliable. Bob Sanders is finally gone, which means the Colts can't afford to play horrible defense until he returns to the lineup anymore. Between Peyton's neck and Collie's concussions and another year of Jim Caldwell staring off into space, surely this team is beginning to see its football mortality. They know their window is closing, rapidly. This is not the type of outfit to go quietly.

Certainly we have heard a million times that the largest journey starts with a single step. We have been told that everything worth doing and achieving takes time and that if we want to be able to achieve our long term goals we will need to focus on the things we can do easily so that these gigantic tasks won't feel absolutely overwhelming. However it is easy to see why this advice is not easy to follow for most of us. There are many problems involved with the mere attempt to break up large tasks into smaller ones. On today's post I want to talk about the inherent difficultness of breaking up tasks, what the main problems around task-breaking are and finally I will conclude by giving you some simple tips on how you can improve your task-breaking skills. If you find this post interesting you may also want to look at my previous post, 5 tips to breakup large tasks into smaller ones.
What is so difficult about task-breaking ? I can tell you that I have had several long term goals in my life and I have failed with many of them due to the fact that I couldn't get myself to make them manageable tasks. To give you an example, I once wanted to start a commercial crop. I had this idea for a few years in my mind but I simply couldn't digest it into tasks that seemed easy and manageable. The fact is that the more ambitious your long term goal is, the more blurry it will look and the harder it will be to get that goal broken up into smaller tasks you can manage. The harder things are to get done, the harder they are to get broken down.
The fact is that – after all- breaking up a task is a task after all. When you are procrastinating on something because you simply do not want to do it or you want to achieve something but you are certainly not getting anywhere, there is no motivation to sit down and do a task breaking activity. If there are reasons why you are not working on something, then these reasons will be barriers to task-breaking in the first place. We usually avoid to work on things that seem overwhelming. If the mere thought of them makes us want to stop thinking about them, how in the world do you expect to work on task-breaking on a subject you are avoiding in the first place ?
The answer here is to make task-breaking the first default part of every task. This gives you a clear idea of the first thing that you need to do with anything: task-breaking. When task breaking seems overwhelming, it means that the goal that has been set is just too blurry for the current situation so an actual goal-cutting needs to happen. If you are telling yourself "I want to write a novel" and breaking that up into tasks is absolutely overwhelming – since from nothing to novel is not a path you can draw clearly – then set your goal much lower. Say : "I want to write the first chapter of a book". Writing a 20 page chapter is much easier than writing a whole book and this is something for which task-breaking is not overwhelming. You can sit down and decide the steps to get to that first chapter with the thought that it will eventually lead into the whole book but with no clear steps outlined between the first chapter and the final book writing. When you get to the first chapter, you will do some linking and set your next goal.
Breaking up tasks is not getting your goals divided into inflexible steps that need to be finished with absolute precision. It is only meant to establish a guideline that will make things a lot easier. Do not hesitate to put yourself goals that you know will set you on your way from A to B without actually getting to B. Playing a one minute song on a violin won't certainly get you to your pro player goal but it is certainly a milestone towards that achievement. It is difficult for us to picture all steps of a road so don't be afraid to set intermediate goals that will get you on your way towards the bigger task.
If you need to file a whole year report on your company just set yourself a goal of doing the first month or the introduction, it certainly is easier to divide this goal into steps and it will get you towards your goal of finishing the project. When you finish the first goal, you will head towards the next one, setting goals at a speed that makes them easily dividable and achievable through easy steps. As you see here, the key to task-breaking is to be flexible about it and to allow yourself to evolve naturally towards what you want to do at your own rhythm. You should set yourself goals that do NOT seem overwhelming and then do your task-breaking on THOSE goals. It is very difficult to break huge tasks into manageable tasks without being overwhelmed by the mere breakup job while setting yourself simpler, small goals – one by one – and breaking up the tasks for those will be a much easier thing to achieve. In the end, being flexible abut your task-breaking and allowing this skill to work in-line with your way of thinking will allow you to achieve your long term objectives.

I know I've been away since long, well things have been quite busy and bad. Just hoping I'll be able to post something "good and happy" about the "bad and busy" stuff after May.So here goes today's post.
- Sleep,cause crying makes you so tired and your eyes droopy. Falling asleep seems like the best idea then, it feels it can correct all the crap stuff that took place some time back.
- Dress up, put on some make up (yeah! make up is a stress buster,there's always a feel good factor about it) and strut out of the house for a day of fun and shopping. [Unfortunately, I'm still dependent on my parents, so drop the idea :( ]
- Day dream about my ambitions and how I'm going to splurge on all the money I'm going to earn some day.
- I feel like closing all the books (if I'm studying) and surfing the net for clothes, lingerie and make-up and shoes (yeah, that's what I plan to splurge on and add a nice SUV to that list :)).
- Want a warm hug (its best if its from the person who you just had a tiff off with or your bff would do).
- Be creative..write something nice, or paint something or some nice art and craft work...hmmm..
- Start day dreaming about the recent best dream you saw and wishing it would come true.
What do you feel like doing if your down? Share your list :) ..
