The new FamilySearch Family Tree entry for those of us who do not belong to the LDS Church is now available. I couldn't help myself – I had a look to see what I could make of it.
It's not really intuitive.
For example, have a look at the tree above and tell me what you think I should do next. Where do I put my father? My mother? Where does it explain that if I put living people in (and I wasn't initially willing to) they won't show up anywhere? Where does it tell me that they won't show up anywhere?
The add and search screen are the same, so if you enter someone's name hoping to add them and then fill in the fields for parents and spouse, you are not adding the parents and spouse, you are just searching for the person with these people connected to him/her, and you have to add them separately. And because the chart shows two people in each box where you would expect to see one, it's difficult to work out where to put anyone at all.
I've added five people so far, including myself, and I can only see three on the tree, so I'm not spending any more time on it.
I have every respect for the work that FamilySearch do, but they really need to find some decent web developers and analysts.

Samardzija to start Cubs' opener
Matt Garza will start the season on the disabled list because of an injured muscle in his side that is preventing the right-hander from throwing, and Jeff Samardzija will be the Opening Day starter for the Chicago Cubs.
Garza's batting-practice session was cut short on Feb. 17 because of the injured latissimus dorsi muscle. He rested 10 days and was in the second day of a throwing program on flat ground when he felt more tightness Saturday. He won't throw for the next week.
"I don't sit back and let things happen. I make them happen and keep pushing and going," Garza said Sunday.
"Now we know it is just time. The recovery rate I was on, everything felt great. It's the body's way of saying it is going to take a little more time. It's not a setback, more like I've come to the realization you can't out-mind your body."
Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Garza will get two spring-training starts at most and will miss the first two weeks to a month of the season.
Samardzija will start at Pittsburgh on April 1. He was 9-13 with a 3.81 ERA last season. He had a 2.39 ERA in his last seven starts of 2012.
"He is a guy the players rally around because of his bulldog mentality when he is one the mound," Sveum said. "It is a very obvious choice, really."
Samardzija will be joined in the rotation by Travis Wood, Carlos Villanueva, Edwin Jackson and Scott Feldman.
A former star wide receiver at Notre Dame, Samardzija made his major league debut with the Cubs in 2008 but spent much of the next two seasons in the minors.
"I went through some humbling baseball experience in `09 and `10. It put a lot of things in perspective," Samardzija said. "I'm excited. The best thing as an athlete is to see all your hard work lead to positive gains from it. You get some taste of success and you want to keep that rolling. That's where I am right now."

We wrote here about one aspect of the recent 60 Minutes story alleging that Karl Rove had something to do with the fact that former Alabama governor Don Siegelman was convicted by a federal jury of bribery and mail fraud. The claim seemed so silly on its face that I wrote that I "assum[e] that it is another 60 Minutes hoax." Now, Gateway Pundit has been doing some digging, and it seems that 60 Minutes may have been duped by its star "witness," Dana Jill Simpson.
CBS describes Simpson as a "former Alabama GOP operative," but no one in the Alabama Republican Party appears to have heard of her. Simpson says that she was repeatedly tapped by Rove for secret but unspecified spy-missions; again, the claim seems ridiculous, and CBS doesn't seem to have done anything to try to verify Simpson's stories.
The will to believe is powerful, and it is hard sometimes to distinguish between a news outlet that is fooled, and a news outlet that actively perpetrates a hoax. I suspect that as more facts come out, we will once again be debating whether CBS and its 60 Minutes crew negligently fell for an implausible story that they desperately wanted to believe, or deliberately perpetrated a fraud.

About James Kudo
James Kudo's work is based—directly or obliquely—on his experience growing up in Novo Oriente, Brazil during the 1970s, which was razed and flooded for the construction of a hydroelectric power station. As a result, many of Kudo's themes revolve around urban development, changes in the landscape, and the clash between technological advancement and nature. The images in his work—which include architectural spaces, bodies, flora, and fauna, rendered in a vivid palette of acrylic paint—are fragmented and overlapping, suggesting a constant state of flux and struggle.

EDMONTON - Revenge of the Nerds. She's Out of My League. Clueless. Ten Things I Hate About You. In Hollywood, at least, the geek always gets the girl. Sometimes, it even happens in real life.
Seeing his now-wife Claritza Huezo for the first time 15 years ago was a movie moment Felipe Marin remembers as though it was yesterday.
He was 14. So was she. They went to separate high schools but both wound up at the same basketball tournament; she as a participant, he as a spectator.
He decided not to wear his prescription eye glasses that day, past experience having shown him they did nothing to complement his braces.
"I remember sitting in the bleachers with a friend," he says, "and glancing at the door to the gym just as Claritza walked in. At that moment, time turned into a Hollywood scene where the nerd sees the hottest, most unattainable girl in school walk by in slow motion."
Later, when a mutual friend informed him the mystery girl needed a quarter to call her dad for a ride home, he practically tripped over himself in his haste to help. She smiled her thanks when he placed the coin in her hand, then turned around and walked away and out of his life, forever.
Or so it seemed. A year later they ran into each other again at a hall party. By then, Felipe's voice was starting to change and his braces were gone. He had also grown about a foot and a half. That's how it seemed to Claritza, who heard the sound of his voice — or a facsimile of it, anyway — before she actually saw him.
"When I turned around, there he was," she says, then laughs. "But this time I had to look up at him."
And this time, he had no intention of letting her get away. Their relationship grew over the telephone, partly because she lived in Capilano and he lived in Mill Woods. Mostly, though, it was because they had strict parents who were never far away when the teens were in each other's company.
They were sweethearts all through high school, and, in Claritza's mind, at least, destined to be together forever. When it came time to graduate, though, he found himself at a crossroads, uncertain about his post-secondary future and what he wanted to do with his life. He decided to head to Chile for the summer.
"He didn't want to have any commitments here in Edmonton," recalls Claritza, "so we broke up. It was terrible. I thought my world was over."
He did come back to Edmonton a few months later, and called her, hoping to pick up where they left off. She was still hurt. Plus, by then she had moved on, determined to find out who she was and what she wanted out of life. She travelled a lot, spent time helping her family at an orphanage in El Salvador.
Five years passed. Then one day "out of the blue," an email from Felipe popped into her inbox.
She was shocked, but she was excited, too, and felt a familiar fluttering in her stomach.
They exchanged small-talk through email, each asking after the other's family. Felipe casually mentioned he had tickets to a wine festival that evening, and asked her if she wanted to go. She said yes. When they met at the top of the stairs at the Shaw Conference Centre a few hours later, the rest of the world seemed to drop away.
"When I hugged him, I knew instantly we were going to be together," she says. "We held each other for so long. Neither of us wanted to let go."
That was in 2008 and by then they were adults, able to date without parental supervision. Truth to tell, their parents were thrilled to see them together again.
Felipe's mother accompanied them on a flight to Chile three years later, ostensibly so Felipe could introduce Claritza to his extended family.
Unbeknownst to Claritza, Felipe was determined to introduce her as his fiancé, not just his girlfriend.
Minutes before they were supposed to land in Santiago, Felipe got up to go to the restroom. Minutes later, the pilot was on the intercom, extending a special greeting to the couple and directing Claritza to the back of the plane.
"I had no idea what was going on," she says.
Once there, she found Felipe on one knee, ready to propose. She doesn't remember exactly what he said, but she knows she said "yes," and that the entire plane erupted in wild applause. His mom captured the moment on videotape for posterity.
"He gave me a heart attack in the air," says Claritza.
The couple got married last summer in the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, at an all-inclusive resort. Their families flew from all over the world to be there, from Puerto Rico, Chile, New York, Florida, Montreal, Los Angeles, and, of course, Edmonton. There was live music during dinner, courtesy of a Spanish guitar player. Claritza and her bridesmaids performed a Zumba-inspired flash-mob dance during the reception, to the delight of the assembled guests.
It was, the couple agreed, an altogether perfect day.
Says Claritza: "We were truly blessed to have had so many loved ones attend the best day of our lives."
Wedding date: July 25, 2012
Wedding/honeymoon venue: Barcelo Mayan Palace, Mayan Riviera, Mexico

The election of 2012 will be held on Tuesday, come hell or high water.
It's just that local election officials didn't think that expression would come so literally true in the days leading up to this presidential Election Day.
Local election officials in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut told CNBC they are scrambling now to evaluate the physical condition of polling places and find alternate locations for voters to go Tuesday in the hardest hit areas. But they say the election itself is a go.
In New York State, officials have extended the application deadline for absentee ballots until Monday, Nov. 5 and ballots postmarked by that day will be counted by election officials as long as they reach their destination by Nov 19th, to allow extra transit time in the mail.
John Conklin, a spokesman for the New York state Board of Elections, said his agency is focused on delivering voting machines and making sure polling places are safe. Some polling places may have to proceed with paper ballots if they don't have power, he said, and they may decide to move other voters to nearby polling stations that have electricity. Conklin said the Board of Elections is putting together a plan to run newspaper ads and communicate on the web to tell voters where they should go to vote.
"We're going to have an election on Tuesday," he said. "With, hopefully, just minor inconveniences." (Read More: Scenes From Hurricane Sandy)
Officials expressed a similar attitude on Long Island. "Our plan is to be good to go on Tuesday," said Wayne Rogers, the Republican Board of Election commissioner in Suffolk County, NY, on hard-hit Long Island. "That's the plan."
Rogers said phone service is still out in much of the county, forcing the Board of Elections to send people out on foot to survey each of the county's polling places to make sure they are intact and have power. He said he is particularly concerned about those polling places south of Montauk Highway, which are closest to the ocean.
"We've never had this kind of destruction," he said. "We don't know who's where." (Read More: Trains Roll, but Northeast Struggles Back from Sandy.)
Still, he said voters — even those who've lost their homes or are living in shelters — will be able to cast their ballots as planned on Tuesday. The county plans to open new polling places, or reroute voters to alternate locations from each polling place that is unusable.
And he said, the Long Island Power Authority has assured the Board of Elections that it will prioritize restoring power to polling places before Election Day.
In Connecticut, the Secretary of State's office says one key issue still to be determined is whether schools that planned to be closed on Election Day to allow access for voters will now be opened. "Because the schools have been closed due to the hurricane, school officials are now considering whether to have schools remain open," said Av Harris, the communications director for the Secretary of State. "We would prefer them not to have school, or possibly remain open only for half the day."
In hard hit Ocean County, N.J., officials have set up two locations for displaced people to vote by absentee ballot: 101 Hooper Ave., at the Ocean City Administration Building in Toms River, and at 179 S. Main Street in Stafford Township. They will have extended voting hours this weekend from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m on Saturday and Sunday.
"A lot of people have been evacuated to different locations, and if they can't make it back Tuesday, we're certainly encouraging everyone to vote," said Jason Varano, an assistant supervisor at the county Board of Elections. "Tuesday is an important presidential election, and we want everyone to have access to the ballot." (Read More: Obama Tours NJ Storm Damage as Campaign Resumes.)
Further south in Cape May County, county registrar Michael Kennedy said only two of the polling places in his area were submerged underwater during the worst of the story. If those facilities are not up and running by Tuesday, he said, they will relocate voters to another polling place — no more than a quarter mile away.
Historically, the United States has never postponed a presidential election — even during World War II and the Civil War. Presidential Election Day is set by Congress, and it would likely take a new law passed in Washington to move it — and Congress would likely have to change it for the whole country at the same time, not just certain affected states.
That means this election is coming, whether the local officials are completely prepared or not. So how's that going to affect turnout in the hardest hit areas next week? Wayne Rogers in Suffolk County said he doesn't know: "We probably won't find that out until after election day."

Rapper Shawty Lo is not only slick with the rhymes but the ladies too. In his upcoming Oxygen reality show "All My Babies' Mamas," cameras follow him as he navigates baby mama drama as a dad to 11 kids by 10 mothers (yep, you read that right).
Plus: Extended Breastfeeding Meets Reality TV
Lo claims he's a good, present dad, and in an interview with MTV, says he takes care of his kids financially. He also says he's on good terms with all the moms except one. In fact, one even handles his finances.
Growing up in Atlanta, Lo's mother was a drug addict, and his family was absent. He became a drug dealer to make ends meet, and was a millionaire by age 21.
"Even if you ain't got the money, you gotta be a father to your child. You need to be in your child's life, 'cause that means a lot to them," he told MTV. "Comin' up, we didn't have Thanksgiving, we didn't have Christmas, but if I had my father there, if I even had my mother there, I probably wouldn't have been that person I was in the streets."
Plus: Deadbeat Dad Barred from Having More Kids
Some are calling for a boycott of the show, saying that Lo shouldn't benefit financially for exploiting his children. Will you watch the show? Leave a comment.

LXer Weekly Roundup for 30-Nov-2008
Early in the week there was an article about some deadly Linux commands and I have to admit I personally wouldn't try any of them, except on a 'practice' machine maybe. In another article we have a nice list of advanced Linux distributions to try out. But it did not list Linux From Scratch which I know technically not a "distro" (it's a book about building one) but still, any list of "advanced" distributions has include LFS doesn't it?
Microsoft made a move earlier this week in court to quash 'the Vista Capable' case and finally bring the viewing of those tasty internal e-mails to a stop. In a BusinessWeek article Debra Chrapaty ,Microsoft's VP of Global Foundation Services talked about how they are trying to catch Google in the data center race, good luck with that.
On the subject of Google, they have plans to use their Ads system to take over television as we know it according to Keval Desai, product manager for Google's TV Ads unit. It looks like SCO may have finally really and actually have had the last nail in the coffin of their case against Novell/IBM/Linux hammered into them. Carla Schroder asks not what Linux can do for you, but what you can do for Linux in her editorial Free as in Freedom, Not Free as in Freeloader.
Sam Varghese thinks he's got the evolution of a Linux user all figured out. For my part, I find generalizations hard to apply on an individual by individual basis. Everyone is different, I'm different, your different, Linux is different. That's part of why Linux is as popular as it is, its different. And better of course, of course.
The Register, apparently out to save us from Ubuntu gives a very kind review of a "Rock-solid Fedora 10". If I am not mistaken Fedora is where most new software is tested and fleshed out. For anyone wanting a "Rock-solid" Fedora, its called Red Hat.
An article asked if open source is killing developers ability to cash in or not. I can't see how that can be true, not in the long run at least. FOSS is going to make the sale of services on the Free Software that is given away a very good job climate for developers. In the competitive market FOSS creates good developers get jobs, developers that know Free Software that is. AMD has said that it will ignore the Netbook market and now Intel is expressing its doubts too. I personally thought that VIA would have been able to make some serious headway in that area, maybe now they will have a chance.
There were a couple of articles that scratched my nostalgia itch this past week, the first one was the Honeywell Kitchen Computer which looks more like a set piece off of Buck Rogers than a recipe keeper. The other was a walk through the history of PC hardware in pictures. I don't know about you but that mouse looks more like a grinder to me, but that's me.

Endeavour bids adios to ISS
Undocks ahead of final homecoming
Space shuttle Endeavour undocked from the International Space Station at 03:55 GMT this morning, marking its last departure from the orbiting outpost ahead of its return to terra firma on Wednesday.
Before waving a final goodbye, the venerable vehicle had a couple of last duties to perform on its swansong STS-134 mission.
After a fly around to allow crew to take detailed photos of the ISS's structure, Endeavour crept to within roughly 950ft of the station to put the Sensor Test for Orion Relative Navigation Risk Mitigation (STORRM) system through its paces.
NASA explains this is "an automated docking system that uses a vision navigation sensor flash lidar and high definition docking camera" which "operates very much like a stop sign reflecting headlights".
The agency elaborates: "On the docking port of the space station are specialized retro-reflectors - which are made from material similar to that used on stop signs - that bounce light back with minimal scattering. The lidar targets the retro-reflectors to calculate the range and line-of-sight angle measurements that the system then provides to the relative navigation software."
The job done, Endeavour then fired its engines to gradually fall behind the ISS.
The STS-134 mission's primary goal was delivery of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, the $2bn piece of kit designed to "advance knowledge of the universe and lead to the understanding of the universe's origin by searching for antimatter, dark matter and measuring cosmic rays".
During 11 days of joint docked operations, Endeavour mission specialists Greg Chamitoff, Andrew Feustel and Michael Fincke carried out four spacewalks, during which they completed several maintenance tasks and stowed Endeavour's 50ft inspection boom on the ISS to act as an extension to the station's robotic arm.
Once it's back on the ground, Endeavour will be prepared for display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. The last scheduled shuttle launch is Atlantis's STS-135, slated to blast off on 8 July. ®

FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 11, 2008) - Despite making six more field goals and out-rebounding Florida Gulf Coast, 42-33, the ETSU women's basketball team still could not beat the Eagles as the Lady Bucs saw their program-record eight-game conference win streak snapped Monday night inside Alico Arena, 71-66.
With the loss, ETSU fell to 13-11, 9-2 in the A-Sun play, while
Sophomore's TaRonda Wiles (
Everything that could possibly go wrong during the opening eight minutes of the first half did for the Lady Buccaneers. Within four minutes of the game,
For the half, ETSU was 14-for-31 (45.2 percent), compared to 12-of-31 (38.7 percent) by the Eagles. The difference in the first frame was three-point and free throw shooting. FGCU held the Lady Bucs without a trey, while the Eagles were 3-of-9. In addition, ETSU finished a frigid 28.6 percent (2-7) from the charity stripe and FGCU hit an 83.3 clip (5-6). Wiles led all scorers with 10 at the half, and Chelsea Dermyer added seven for the Eagles.
Both teams opened the second half on fire as ETSU hit its first three shots and FGCU was 3-for-6; however, the Eagles led, 39-36, when Dermyer hit a three with 16:43 left in the contest.
After ETSU fought hard to tie the game at 50 with eight and half to play the Eagles pushed their lead to nine, 63-54, at the 3:20 mark, but the Lady Bucs would not go away. ETSU mounted a 12-3 run to cut the deficit to two, 68-66, with 11 seconds left in the game. Then, the Eagles' Adrianne McNally hit one of two free throws, giving the Lady Buccaneers one last chance to tie the game. But Evans' clean look at a three hit off the left side of the rim, ending any hopes of an ETSU victory.
Missed free throws and three-pointers crushed ETSU Monday night. The Lady Bucs saw their streak of 101 straight games with a trey come to an end (0-9), and shot a season-low 42.9 percent (6-14) from the charity stripe. ETSU hit 30 of its 60 shots, but eight of
ETSU will return home and close out the 2007-08 home portion of its schedule next weekend. The Lady Bucs kick things off Saturday with Lipscomb. Tip is set for 1:30 p.m. inside

Top court strikes down Mass. abortion clinic buffer; effect on NH law under scrutinyBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
June 26. 2014 8:10PM
Political leaders and organizations that support abortion rights voiced optimism Thursday that the New Hampshire abortion-clinic buffer zone law will survive constitutional muster, even though a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar law in Massachusetts.
Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan, who signed the law earlier this month, said her office will review the Thursday decision to see what impact it has in New Hampshire.
"Women should be able to safely access health care and family planning services, and the bipartisan legislation that I signed earlier this month was narrowly tailored, with input from the law enforcement community and municipal officials, to ensure the safety and privacy of patients and the public, while also protecting the right to free speech," Hassan said.
The Supreme Court ruled that a Massachusetts buffer zone that kept protesters 35 feet from abortion clinics was unconstitutional because it restricts constitutional rights to free speech and assembly.
The New Hampshire law, which goes into effect July 10, establishes a 25-foot buffer zone around abortion clinics. The law allows for flexible buffer zones tailored to the facility, advocates said.
The ruling added a spring to the step of nine people who marched outside Planned Parenthood in Manchester on Thursday. The picketers normally gather there on Thursdays, the day they say abortions take place at the clinic.
"We're happy, (but) it doesn't mean they won't try to go forward with it," said Cathy Kelley. She offered literature to clinic patients, while others walked on the sidewalk and quietly prayed. A security guard manned the parking lot, and clinic employees watched from inside the glass door.
"Hopefully, this will all just go away. We don't bother anybody down here, for crying out loud. We help people who want to be helped," Kelley said.
Jerry Bergevin, a former state representative, was among those praying. He said the buffer zone wouldn't have stopped the picketing, just moved it across the street.
"The First Amendment is upheld," he said. "The Constitution, at least with this decision, is intact again."
The Supreme Court ruled the Massachusetts law is too restrictive when the state has other options to address potential clashes outside clinics and to protect patients from intimidation and interference.
Supporters of New Hampshire's law have said it addresses some of the issues raised during Supreme Court arguments on Massachusetts' law.
But an opponent of the Granite State law says it mimics the Bay State's statute and should not go into effect.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry, said the unanimous ruling affirms her concerns about the bill.
"In siding with the plaintiffs in this case, the court has agreed that these buffer zone laws pose an onerous burden to the free speech rights of those who wish to educate, protest, or otherwise exercise their constitutional rights around these facilities," Carson said.
She noted the court ruled that lawmakers must be mindful of First Amendment rights as they ensure safe and open access to reproductive-health clinics.
The court's ruling notes that the Massachusetts problems centered on one clinic in Boston; the problems in New Hampshire are limited to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Manchester. She said those issues can be addressed locally.
The Manchester clinic is located on a narrow street in a residential area. The building is just feet from the public sidewalk.
The law's prime sponsor, Sen. Donna Soucy, D-Manchester, said it is too early to determine the impact of the ruling.
New Hampshire lawmakers "crafted a narrow law which is more limited than the Massachusetts law at issue in the decision," Soucy said.
Jennifer Frizzell, vice president for public policy for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, said the New Hampshire law addressed some of the issues argued before the Supreme Court, such as allowing law enforcement and other local officials to work with clinics to craft appropriate buffer zones that fit the neighborhood.
She said the zones restrict all protests and picketing, not just anti-abortion activities.
"New Hampshire's legislation was narrowly tailored to balance important constitutional rights and differs in significant ways from the Massachusetts law that was struck down in today's decision," Frizzell said. "It's too early to speculate how this will affect access to New Hampshire's reproductive health facilities."
She said the decision shows a troubling level of disregard for women who should be able to make private medical decisions without running a gauntlet of harassing and threatening protesters.
Bryan McCormack of Cornerstone Action said New Hampshire's law is unsupportable.
"Peaceful pro-life witness outside abortion facilities is constitutionally protected and must be respected by law, as Cornerstone has held all along," he said. "The right to abortion does not trump the First Amendment."

Wesley Snipes isn't gonna like his new digs.
The onetime superstar of the screen was due to report to prison in northwestern Pennsylvania today at noon, where he'll share a room with another of the 300 inmates at the minimum security Federal Correctional Institution McKean. Snipes, star of the "Blade" movies, won't be able to watch R-rated movies, will have to submit to five headcounts a day and will only be allowed to spend just $290 a month at the prison commissary.
The "White Men Can't Jump" and "Demolition Man" star will get no special treatment from prison officials.
"We recognize that he is high profile, but we treat all our inmates the same," spokeswoman Shirley White told The Associated Press last week.
Snipes, 48, failed to file any tax returns for at least a decade, and owes $17 million in back taxes, plus penatlies and interest, according to The New York Times. He was a member of American Rights Litigators, a group that doesn't believe Americans have to pay income taxes. At trial, Snipes said he was naive.
"I am an idealistic, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritually motivated artist, unschooled in the science of law and finance," said Snipes.
U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges threw the book at Snipes, even though the actor delivered $5 million toward his arrearage, saying the actor has "a history of contempt" for U.S. tax laws. Hodges imposed consecutive one-year terms for the three misdemeanor convictions.
"I'm very sorry for my mistakes," Snipes said at sentencing. "I acknowledge that I have failed myself and others."

Tech N9ne
November 7th, 2006
Aaron Yates
Tech N9ne
Hip Hop/Rap
Years Active:
'90s, '00s, '10s
Tech N9ne
Like many underground rappers in the Midwest, Tech N9ne specialized in bizarre hardcore rap and stood as one of the few recognized rappers based in Kansas City when he debuted in the late '90s. He made the major-label jump with Anghellic (2001), which JCOR Entertainment released with the backing of Interscope Records. The album didn't find a large audience, though, and Tech N9ne returned to the underground and prepared his next album, Absolute Power (2002). A year later Tech N9ne's new label, Strange Music, re-released Anghellic, which had gone out of print in the wake of JCOR's fallout with Interscope. Everready (The Religion) would follow in 2006, then the collaboration-filled Misery Loves Kompany arrived in 2007. A year later his Killer album would pay a strange homage to Michael Jackson's Thriller with its cover art, and then it was back to the collaboration album with the 2009 release Sickology 101. The ambitious concept album K.O.D. would also be released that year, while 2010 saw a handful of related sideline releases, including The Lost Scripts of K.O.D. EP and the video K.O.D. Tour: Live in Kansas City. A third collaborative effort, The Gates Mixed Plate, landed in 2010 along with an EP, Seepage, and then the Bad Season mixtape kicked off another productive year, with the glossy crossover effort All 6's and 7's and the collabos collection Welcome to Strangeland also arriving in 2011.

According to some very loud voices, all your coming technology needs will be served up in the cloud -- whatever and wherever that cloud might be. OK, maybe not all, but near enough as to make little difference. Whether or not you believe such pronouncements, it's clear that certain elements of your IT infrastructure seem well suited for cloud deployments, and if you haven't investigated the cost benefits and other advantages, you're probably doing yourself -- and your business -- a disservice.
If you've done some looking and decided you could satisfy your business messaging and communications needs with a cloud service, you've probably been steered toward something such as Microsoft Office 365 or Google's conglomeration of offerings that attempts to be the same thing. But it's always good to remember that the big-name players aren't the only ones in the game, and sometimes those big names simply aren't set up to handle the customer service needs of small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs).
There are alternatives! Here's one to think about: Imogo, which comes from "Integrated Mobile Global Office," provides hosted Microsoft Exchange Server, the Microsoft Office suite, and its own branded Digital Telephone Virtual PBX. And Imogo works with each customer to develop a custom "private cloud portal" designed specifically to meet the needs of that business. As Imogo CEO Stewart Irvine said, "Whatever you're running or operating at your premises, whatever's on your servers, we can host it, and we can then essentially become your server room."
Imogo also developed its own migration software, which they've called Imogo Drive, to help customers with the transition. "It's very confusing, what we have found for SMBs and SOHO [small office/home office] people. They all want to be on the cloud, but getting from point A to point B is daunting for them," Irvine said. "We look after that, we take care of that. In a short conversation, we can start building them out. Probably the biggest difference is the way that we look after a client and provide customer service."
I think there's no question that Office 365 is a great service at a reasonable price. However, you're going to have trouble if you have custom needs, or if you want help from Microsoft getting your environment up and running. So, when you hear people telling you that you either need to deploy Exchange Server on premises or go to Office 365, remember that there are still alternatives such as Imogo out there that are worth investigating to see if they might better suit your individual business needs.

The year of bliss. That's what the Garden Media Group, one of the top trend-spotting agencies in the U.S., has designated 2013 - the year when gardeners turn their backs on trouble and strife and more actively seek joy and bliss in their everyday life.
"Connecting with nature is a necessity, not a luxury," says Suzi McCoy, head of the Pennsylvania-based GMG, which releases a Garden Trends Report every year.
"People today want to find bliss in everyday life. Being in nature - either in a garden or park or filling your home with indoor plants - adds immeasurable happiness and wellness to our lives."
McCoy says more people are "fed up with complexities of modern life" and are turning their backs on fear and looking for ways to find greater happiness and turn the "ordinary into the extraordinary."
GMG released its first Garden Trends Report in 2001. The latest one will be its 13th. In it, GMG looks at various emerging and existing trends across North America, as well as in other parts of the world.
Drawing on various research and marketing data, GMG says people are re-evaluating their values and priorities and redefining happiness. They are ultimately coming to the conclusion that gardening is a way to achieve joy and satisfaction, says McCoy.
Li Edelkoort, one of the report's contributing trend gurus, says the year of bliss will be marked by an acceptance of economic uncertainty and a willingness to adapt.
The report also sees the horticulture industry becoming much more aggressive in its presentation of the benefits of gardening, not only as a way to make communities more beautiful, but also as a way to protect the environment, improve health, reduce crime, make the air cleaner, and even help kids to become smarter.
Two of the important trend "wave makers", says GMG, are top horticulture advocates Marvin Miller and Charlie Hall.
Miller is market research manager for Chicago-based Ball Horticultural, one of the biggest plant companies in the U.S., and president of America in Bloom, an organization that promotes beautification through education and community involvement.
Hall is a professor in the department of horticultural sciences at the Texas A&M University.
Both men are considered highly effective advocates of the benefits of gardening to heal and restore, as well as a way to make the world more beautiful and improve living conditions, all of which result in a greater sense of well-being in a community.
Miller has produced popular videos demonstrating why plants are more than merely pretty objects, but actually help reduce crime, clean the air and improve health.
Hall has shown how quality landscaping is a way of increasing property values. He has also argued convincingly that putting money into parks and botanical gardens is a way to create new revenue streams from ecotourism for cities.
Both men, according to GMG, are having a significant impact on the thinking of leaders, not only in the gardening industry, but also in government and community circles at all levels, and especially on consumers who agree that there are clear benefits to be gained from gardening and creating beautiful garden-like environments.
In terms of specific gardening trends, native and drought-tolerant plants are expected to be even more popular in 2013.
There is also evidence of undiminished enthusiasm for small-space gardening, especially with an emphasis on growing plants in containers.
Gardeners are expected to become smarter spenders in 2013 - pausing to think more critically before spending and making fewer spontaneous purchases.
The rise of WINKS - women with no kids - as a distinct consumer demographic is expected to have an impact on sales of plants and general gardening items in the New Year.
Interest in fire pits, outdoor kitchens and luxury outdoor living spaces is expected to continue in 2013, with a greater accent on professionally installed landscape components, such as customized seating and irrigation systems.
Demand for ready-to-place potted plants is predicted to increase, along with more interest in making better use of colour-injecting summer annuals and foliage plants.
But most gardening experts agree that the No. 1 trend in 2013 will continue to be the interest in growing edible plants as more people decide to try their hand at growing their own food, either in vegetable, herb or fruit gardens, or in containers on decks, patios and balconies.
James Wong, a leading botanist at Kew Botanic Garden in London, is creating a stir within this edible-gardening craze by focusing on growing unusual rather than traditional vegetables.
His book, Homegrown Revolution, has become a bestseller, in which he puts tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica), at the top of his list of unusual vegetables. This is a lime-flavoured tomato-like fruit that Wong claims knocks spots off the tomato.
He also focuses on harvesting fiddlehead ferns, day lily buds and bamboo shoots and talks about ways to use dahlia, fuchsia and hosta in the form of roots, berries and shoots respectively.
His other ideas for food gardeners include spraying plants with garlic to deter slugs and snails, sowing in sequence to sustain harvests, and practising multiple-crop planting to reduce weeds, attract pollinators and maximize yields.
There is also expected to be even greater focus on clever plant marketing in 2013 as nurseries explore more creative ways to sell plants.
Costa Farms, of Florida, the biggest supplier of indoor plants in North America, has already teamed up with Miracle-Gro to promote Plants for Clean Air (02 For You) as a way to raise awareness of how plants can be used to boost indoor air quality.
Van Belle Nursery in Abbotsford has launched a Bloomin' Easy blue-pot series of shrubs designed to guarantee success for beginner gardeners.
The nursery is also taking a technological leap by making it possible for consumers to access information and advice via their cellphones.
And Proven Winners, a worldwide promoter of garden-worthy plants, will continue to dominate the summer plant market with an expanded line of colourful combinations created specifically for small-space gardens.
It all sounds blissful to me.

The year of bliss. That's what the Garden Media Group, one of the top trend-spotting agencies in the U.S., has designated 2013 - the year when gardeners turn their backs on trouble and strife and more actively seek joy and bliss in their everyday life.

5 Surprising Lip-Synching Performances
Since the bombshell news that Beyonce (allegedly) lip-synched "The National Anthem during President Obama's re-inauguration this past Monday, the revelation continues to make headlines. There's even talk of whether or not Bey will pull a similar move during her much anticipated half-time gig at the upcoming Super Bowl. But while some of the criticism has been over-the-top—comparisons to Milli Vanilli's 1990 lip-synching scandal have been totally off base considering that their records did not even feature their own vocals—Jay-Z's world-beating better half is not the only superstar to receive some audio help. Here are the top five most surprising lip-synching performances.—Keith Murphy (murphdogg29)

First Impressions
Been reading the manga for this and pretty good so far. It employs the usage of economics and not the typical usage of "swords and fighting" to save the world type of theme. The interactions between the two main characters (Maou and Yuusha, also respectively known as Demon Queen and Hero) is very fun to watch for their personalities and dialogues.
Yup, this is going to be good~
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
The show is a huge reminiscence of Spice & Wolf, especially cast wise. The plot isn't exactly like S&W but I get some of those vibes. I'm not sure how excited I am for this but I'm fairly interested though this may be one of the more interesting shows I'm partaking in viewing for this season.
In loving memory of Cryska.
This is one of the two shows airing this winter that im thinking could be a gem. Spice and wolf was great
From the looks of the PV its possible its gonna be ecchi. I hope not though, most animes fail to have a good storyline when its under the ecchi category.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.
To me it seemed more classy then the typical echii shit. Spice and wolf was far from echii
If it was echii we would have seen at least 3 skirts fly up and 2 guys falling and landing on girls breasts
As long as it follows the manga's basic premise I'll be fine with it. Ecchi or not (depending on whatever you think of as 'ecchi') I'll be fine with it since I've seen plenty of anime with ecchi and a good story.
"...Love is love & it's beautiful no matter where & who you find it with."
Episode 1
Loved it! I enjoyed watching the interactions between Yuusha and the Demon Queen. The way they met was funny. The OP song was kinda meh though imo. I liked the characters' designs of the show so far as well as the drama/comedy mixed in.
That ending scene was pretty funny and what the hell, the Demon Queen is wearing a headband?? LOL. Anyways, nice episode :3
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
macro and micro economics again...
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
this and fairy tail today, should have a good hour of new anime tonight ;p
I am ready to be educated and amused by the incredibly moe Demon Lord at the same time, seriously she is too cute
especially at the end there with her Hero hug pillow
This was a really good first ep, it justified my high anticipation of the show and I'm sure this will be a top show of the season
What even
Quite hard to make out what I thought of the first episode; whilst I did enjoy it quite a lot, it felt a little fast pace. . .? I can't really describe it. I had expected the hero to be a bit more stubborn to the Queen's conditions but that wasn't the case so it felt like he accepted many of the conditions brought up without thinking it through. I must say that the Queen is a fun and funny character; her womanly body is quite a service to me and her traits are worth a few laughs. The show is fairly lighthearted now but I can see it raising critical issues with how the governments work, economics, and the effects of warfare on various people and becoming a "serious" work.
In loving memory of Cryska.
I enjoyed the first episode and I am curious as to how this will unfold, so I will continue to watch this.
Yeah I definitely can't wait to see how this series plays out. The first episode was quite enjoyable.
just watched the first the first episode and it left a good impression on me ^_^
Fabulous max!

Sequestration impact scenarios continue to dominate the news.
Sequestration was enacted in the 2011 debt ceiling negotiations between Democrats and Republicans in Congress.
The debt ceiling was raised in 2011 in exchange for $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, which were to be determined by a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, known as a "super committee."
If no deal is reached by the committee, automatic, across the board cuts of 10 percent will go into effect.
The next deadline is fast approaching March 1.
Meanwhile, there has been quite a bit of speculation as to how sequestration may impact the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
In a memo to employees Wednesday, Lab Director Charlie McMillan said workforce reduction was not a viable option in dealing with sequestration impacts.
"In the coming days and weeks you will likely see media reports about possible budget reduction scenarios and their impacts to the laboratory, McMillan wrote.
"They are just that — scenarios. Until we know specific numbers, we will not be able to analyze what the granular impacts will be. However, because of the actions we took last year, I am confident in sharing the following with you: For Los Alamos, a reduction to the regular workforce is not a viable option to deal with sequestration impacts."
McMillan said should sequestration occur, the lab would look at four main levers to reduce costs.
They include:
•Further controlling procurements
• Examining our subcontracted labor force
• Effectively using carryover balances, and
• Furlough of the permanent workforce for a short duration.
"I want to stress that once we see our official funding profile and decisions are made, you will hear it from me first. To date, absolutely no decisions have been made, nor are we taking actions," McMillan wrote.
According to the Nuclear Weapons and Materials Monitor, the cuts, which may be implemented in March barring action by Congress, are set to reduce the National Nuclear Security Administration's budget by 7.3 percent. That adds up to about $721 million for NNSA's weapons and nonproliferation programs, based on enacted funding levels.
McMillan said the actions the lab took in 2012 to control spending has given it some flexibility to deal with budget uncertainties in 2013.
At a community leaders breakfast last October, McMillan outlined the lab budget cuts.
McMillan said the lab finished 2012 with $383 million less in funding than 2011. The 2011 reductions include $183 million for operations and maintenance and $200 million for construction.
In addition, McMillan said the lab finished 2012 with 1,295 fewer employees than in the previous year.
Of the 1,295 employees that left the lab, 557 departed under the voluntary separation program last spring. McMillan said other the other numbers could be attributed to contactor cuts, normal attrition and slightly fewer students.
McMillan said procurements are down by close to $200 million from FY 11. In September of last year, the lab racked up $894 million in procurements compared to $696 million in FY12.
McMillan said in Wednesday's email that the lab received a request from NNSA, "asking us to describe the impacts given a hypothetical budget reduction. We receive similar requests every year, and we respond. It is prudent for Congress, NNSA and the laboratory to plan for uncertainties."
McMillan then gave his employees a bit of a pep talk.
"We went through a lot together last year. I realize it is difficult to hear some of these words again. I can assure you that laboratory leadership is working closely with NNSA on this issue, and scenario planning does not equal reality.
"This, however, is reality: Completing our missions for the nation safely and securely, in the face of uncertainty and budget pressure, is the most compelling argument for Los Alamos. Stay focused on the tasks at hand, and take speculation with a grain of salt."
According to the Albuquerque Journal, meanwhile, officials at Sandia lab said there should be no layoffs at their facility despite a Congressional report suggesting that as many as 100 Sandia jobs may be on the chopping block.
According to a report from the Democratic staff of the House Appropriations Committee, Sandia "will lay off up to 100 positions" and curtail hiring if sequestration takes effect March 1.
"Sandia has analyzed potential impacts of the various budget scenarios currently under consideration and finds no immediate impact on Sandia employees," Sandia spokesman Jim Danneskiold told the Journal.

Obama invites budget writers to White House lunch
March 7, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has invited the top House budget writers for lunch at the White House.
The White House announced Thursday Obama was having lunch in his private dining room with the Budget Committee chairman, Republican Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and Ranking Democrat Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. Ryan was the GOP's vice presidential nominee last year.
The lunch follows Obama's dinner Wednesday night with a dozen GOP senators. The president is trying to build support among rank-and-file Republicans for starting talks on a long-term deficit reduction deal.
Ryan previewed a plan this week to erase federal deficits without raising taxes. Obama has insisted that higher taxes be part of any measure.

Controversial elementary math program divides NH schoolsBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
February 21. 2013 12:58AM
After one semester, Windham educators are calling a new math program for kindergarten through fifth grade a success.
During Tuesday night's school board meeting, Golden Brook School Principal Christi Michaud and Center School Principal Kori Becht shared a progress report of enVision Math, which replaced the controversial Everyday Math program at the start of the current school year.
Some Manchester schools use Everyday Math, and last October a group of parents in the state's largest school system approached district officials and said the curriculum was leaving middle school students ill-prepared for traditional math courses.
The curriculum, used in city schools through grade five, seeks to teach math concepts through patterns and games, rather than memorization of formulas and tables.
Parents have blamed Everyday Math for poor student performance in high school algebra and on state performance tests.
Hooksett officials have also cited issues with Everyday Math, saying in November the program doesn't have the "rigor" that helps students to meet the state's common core standards.
In Windham, a dozen district teachers tested enVision Math last year. The school board approved a permanent change this past spring, Superintendent Henry LaBranche said.
As the current school year began, district parents and teachers were encouraged to monitor the program's process online at www.pearsonsuccessnet.com, the program's accompanying website.
"I think this is a very exciting program," school board vice chairman Michelle Farrell said. "So far I've been hearing a lot of positive things."

Joel Mowbray ([email protected]) reports from Denver:
Yesterday was the kind of day Democrats were hoping for. What started withHillary asking the delegates to nominate Obama by acclamation ended with the nominee embracing his running mate on stage after Biden's very solid speech.
To no one's surprise, Obama's unannouced visit a day before his nomination address sent the audience into a tizzy. (Interestingly, Bill Clinton had a longer ovation, though he clearly stoked his and Obama did not.)
Joe Biden had genuine command of the audience, kicking off with an effective presentation of his personal story and closing with an enthusiastic pitch for Obama — but he wasn't the best Biden to take the stage.
His son Beau, Delaware's attorney general, gave a moving, impressive introduction. As TV audiences saw from the close-ups of Michelle Obama and others during his address, Beau moved plenty in the audience to tears. The tragedy of his mother dying in a car crash after his father's 1972 election (but before having been sworn in) is obviously powerful stuff. Beau's delivery, however, made it even more so.
Yet as good as both Bidens were, Wednesday's last hour might have felt anticlimactic in the wake of Bill Clinton's gem had it not been for Obama's surprise embrace of his running mate to cap off the night.
Last night was the night Democrats had to have. Stories about the first two evenings were dominated by the discord between Teams Hillary and Obama. This was reflected in the mood inside the arena and in the late-night parties afterward. Party conventions are normally pretty raucous affairs, and the passion is usually palpable. That joyous mood had been missing, though it seems Democrats are now at least back to where they should have been at the week's outset.
Democrats finally have a reason to smile, even if it took them two wasted days to get what they needed. For the first time, convention-goers seem truly enthused. They are not back to the dizzying highs of Obama-mania during his March winning streak, but they're happier than they've been in a while.
Yet even with the renewed Democratic optimism, the bar is low enough that next week the once-unthinkable could happen, as GOP spirits could be as buoyant as the Democrats'.
That's far from a given, but the mere fact that it's even possible shows just how much the dynamics of this race have changed since spring.

SEATTLE, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Amanda Knox, convicted in Italy of killing her housemate, has changed her Twitter profile photo to include a homemade sign proclaiming her innocence.
The photo is black and white and shows a short-haired Knox soberly dressed in a dark top. She holds up a sign that reads "Siamo innocente," Italian for "We're innocent."
Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were convicted in Perugia of killing Meredith Kercher in what prosecutors said was a drug-fueled sex game. They were acquitted on appeal and then convicted again.
Kercher from the London area and Knox, an exchange student from Seattle, were sharing a house during a year in Perugia. Supporters point to a total absence of physical evidence linking Knox or Sollecito to the crime and say the sole killer was Rudy Guede, whose DNA was found on Kercher's body.
Knox spent several years in prison before winning her appeal and did not return to Italy for the third trial. The Italian government has not sought her extradition, and Sollecito remains free in Italy pending another appeal. Guede is serving a prison term.
