For reasons too convoluted to explain here, my blog got messed up after upgrade to Wordpress 3.2.1 and Atahualpa 3.6.7
I am unable to rollback to Wordpress 3.1 (which worked fine), because of database issues.
I have reloaded Atahualpa 3.6.4, since that worked well for me, but it's now running on WP 3.2.1.
I require to reload the style settings provided by ata-round.txt.
Since the "Upload & Import Atahualpa Settings file" option does not seem to work any more (and there is no provision in 3.6.4 to cut-paste settings), I need to MANUALLY cut and paste the ata-round.txt into some ata file.
Could someone please tell me in which ata file and what point in the file I should do this?
Thank you.

Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz remembers traveling to the Bahamas as a child and getting ill on the small plane that took his family from Nassau to their destination. "I had terrible motion sickness when I was younger and I barfed into the bag," says the 33-year-old musician, who also hosts the Oxygen reality series "Best Ink." There was no place to throw the bag away, so we had to go through customs holding it. That was a little weird, but the trip overall was awesome!" He shares his love of travel by taking his 4-year-old son, Bronx Mowgli, to as many places as he can. Fall Out Boy is currently on tour to promote its latest album "Save Rock and Roll." You may follow Wentz @petewentz.
Q. What are your favorite types of vacations?
A. I like tropical places a lot. But I also like just being in nature. My parents have a lake house in Vermont. I'll bring my kid and we'll do stuff like fishing at the lake. I think it's important to give my son an exposure to a bigger part of the world than Southern California. I love it when we're out hiking and I see him come to life seeing things in a brand-new way. I love that sense of wonder.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. We did a lot of road trips to the Three Lakes in Wisconsin. We went to Wisconsin a lot. We just kind of puttered around those lakes on a boat and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or whatever. And then we also went skiing at the Cascade Mountain (in Wisconsin). I always rode the back of the station wagon hard! We didn't go to the Wisconsin Dells, but we did go to a lot of water parks. I loved that! We went to Sesame Place Water Park in Langhorne, Pa. It was awesome. I remember thinking how rad it was to be there!
Q. Where are you least recognized as a celebrity?
A. When I'm not recognized, I love it. I think that's really healthy. When we go to Japan, nobody really cares unless I'm there with Fall Out Boy. They're not a tabloid-based culture like we are over here. So it's really nice. The people in Sydney and New York City — they don't care who I am. I'll be walking through Union Square and I'll get a high five every now and then, but people can't really be bothered to notice me. It's great.
Q. What are your favorite cities?
A. Chicago is my absolute favorite city, because I grew up there. I also love Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, London, New York and Paris, depending on the weather. My home base is now in California. I have a lot of love for the Valley out here.
Q. Where did you travel to for work that you'd like to revisit as a tourist?
A. I don't have a lot of time to revisit places as a tourist these days, but I've got a lot of Korean friends and am looking forward to returning there. We were in Seoul and had an awesome experience there. We played a fest and tried all kinds of really good food. Our tour manager, Dan Suh, (now a DJ) showed us around. We're heading back to Seoul in August for work and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the city and eating more food! I'm well versed in Korean barbecue now.
Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
A. We were trying to be the first band to play all seven continents. We tried to get to the Antarctica but were unable to make it. I still want that to happen. But six continents isn't too bad, right? I'd also love to see more of South America. I've been to Uganda and South Africa. I want to see more of Africa.
Q. Are you an adventurous eater on the road?
A. There are certain places you don't want to get sick, but overall, I'll give it a shot. I'll try local cuisine everywhere. I've gotten braver as I've gotten older. But there are a few things I won't eat. In some cultures they serve horse meat and stuff like that. I can appreciate that it is part of someone's diet, but it's not for me.
Q. Name a place where you had an unforgettable meal?
A. Not long ago, I got to eat at the restaurant featured in "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" (Sukiyabashi Jiro, located in a Tokyo subway station). That was such a cool experience. You could see the care that went into the food.
Q. What would be your dream trip?
A. I would want to go and stay in one of those stilt huts in Bora Bora. That'd be a dream trip for me. It seems like it'd be awesome!
Q. What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?
A. I like airport lounges a lot. When you spend so much time in airports, it's always good when you can get a little comfy before the flight. When the label or the TV show is paying for it, it's somewhat of an easier pleasure to stomach!
Q. To someone who wanted to get a tattoo during their trip, what would you say?
A. I think it's cool to mark a trip with a tattoo, but you need to really trust your artist. So do your research so you know the artists and their work. Make sure they use clean equipment. And make sure you really know what you want.

UH Hilo students hired to implement marketing strategies
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Tuesday, July 20, 2010
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
The scene wasn't the Trump Boardroom, where contestants are brought in before The Donald to be told "you're fired" while hoping to hear the words "you're hired." But some University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo business students did get a rare opportunity to test their marketing strategies developed through their course work in a real-world setting.
The students were enrolled in a spring trio of marketing courses taught by Assistant Professor Tom DeWitt. A total of 10 student groups partnered with UH Hilo Athletics and seven with Hawaiʻi Island Gourmet Products (HIG) devising marketing strategies, which were presented to their respective management along with 20 judges representing the local business community. For Hawaiʻi Island Gourmet Products Owner Nimr Tamimi, the project was just what the doctor ordered.
"Our business has never really gotten off the ground and we realized that part of the problem was a lack of marketing," Tamimi said. "We talked it over with Dr. DeWitt and decided it would be a good project for the students to gain hands-on experience, so it was a win-win opportunity."
The students surveyed customers, researched markets, conducted taste tests and product evaluations on the company's line of gourmet chips, cookies and chocolate products to develop marketing plans for understanding and strengthening the company's local market and natural food shares. Keala Barnett and her partner Annie Lung produced a 132-page report on fundraising strategies.
Lung said they looked at a variety of options, including direct sales, selling tickets and online commerce before settling on online sales.
"Our task was to conduct our research and come up with the most useful and most profitable approach for HIG," Lung explained. "Given the rapidly growing use of the Internet, we decided online sales via the HIG website would serve to attract both local and national buyers."
The strategies developed by the various teams must still be implemented, so their impact on the business has yet to be determined. But Tamimi believes the project has been a good partnership between the University and business community and something the business community needs.
Tamimi received an added bonus when 60 of DeWitt's students teamed up with 35 students from Kamehameha High School's Business and Leadership Program to repaint the company's Manono Street offices and manufacturing facilities.DeWitt believes there needs to be a special bond between business and community.
"Social responsibility is an important component of what we do," DeWitt said. "A good business person is a good community person, and vice-versa."
Also benefiting from the initiative was project leader Jonathan Bauer. He was hired for the sales and marketing position responsible for implementing the marketing plans developed in class and assisting the company with other sales and marketing issues.
Bauer led a marketing project of his own at UH Hilo Athletics. His volunteer work included creating pamphlets and booklets for the Vulcan Athletic Club and Marketing Teams seeking business backing, community membership and volunteers.
A number of other students also participated at the request of Athletic Director Dexter Irvin who saw an opportunity to address some shortcomings in the marketing of teams, students and values, while providing the students a real-life marketing experience.
"The students conducted research on all our constituencies and the outcomes exceeded our expectations," Irvin said. "We now have several proposals and ideas on how to address each group's individual needs ranging from online notification and social networks to tailgating, competitions for students, concession enhancements and school programs."
Irvin added that four interns have been selected and will begin working in August with the head coaches and staff members to assist in implementing specific areas of the marketing strategy developed by the class.
"I think the business community understands that there's got to be a certain buy-in from them if we are going to turn out the highly trained workforce they are looking for," DeWitt said. "This is a prime example of how we can work together to develop a talent pool that's more employment ready upon graduation."

Dorothy B. Wright, Vesey Talking to His People.
Denmark Vesey (c.1767 - 1822) was born in the Caribbean or in Africa and was bought as a teenager in the Danish Virgin Islands by a Bermudan captain, Joseph Vesey, along with almost four hundred people. The slaver sold them in Saint-Domingue. After three months cutting sugarcane, the fourteen-year-old boy was taken back by Vesey who renamed him and kept him as a slave for seventeen years, part of which time Denmark spent working on slave ships. While residing with his owner in Charleston, South Carolina, Vesey bought his freedom in 1800 with proceeds from a lottery. The multilingual, charismatic, and wealthy carpenter used his affiliation with the African Methodist Episcopal Church to recruit participants - including Haitian slaves forcibly brought during the revolution - in the largest and best-organized slave conspiracy in the country. The goal was to free the slaves with the help of Haiti and sail to Africa or to the black republic. But in May a slave betrayed the revolt planned for July 14, 1822. Vesey tried to change the date to June 16 but was unsuccessful. Arrested, he was tried and hung on July 2, as were thirty-four of his companions.
In 2001 a historian presented a new, controversial interpretation of the events. According to his research although Vesey was clearly an activist for abolition, he may not have been plotting a rebellion; instead he may have been the victim of a witch-hunt instigated by an ambitious white politician eager to terrify Charleston's white citizens with a fabricated slave conspiracy. In that case, Denmark Vesey and the others, although horribly tortured, may have chosen death rather than provide false testimony about a non-existent rebellion that would have led to the death of other enslaved men.

Mobile Content
Mobile UK (formerly the Mobile Broadband Group) has appointed the BBFC to take over from the Independent Mobile Classification Body (IMCB) in providing the independent framework that underpins the Mobile Operators' code of practice, established in 2004, for the self regulation of content on mobile.
The Classification Framework defines content that is unsuitable for customers under the age of 18 and is based on the BBFC's Classification Guidelines for film and video.
The self regulatory partnership between the mobile operators and the BBFC brings trusted, transparent and consistent BBFC standards to bear on content accessed via mobile networks. It protects children by restricting adult content to adults only. The Classification Framework is a living document which is updated regularly to reflect evolving public attitudes and societal concerns.
The Classification Framework has been developed using the BBFC's Classification Guidelines. The Guidelines are based on large scale public consultations involving around 10,000 people, and are revised every 4-5 years.
The Classification Framework enables commercial content providers to self-classify their mobile commercial content as either suitable or unsuitable for users under 18. The Classification Framework will also be used to calibrate the filters used by the Operators to restrict access to internet content via mobile networks by those under 18 to the extent technically possible.

If you plan to stay at home during a hurricane, identify the safest room in your home as your "Safe Room." This is generally an interior room on the first floor with no windows, such as a bathroom or closet. If you have the option, your "safe room" should not be in an area subject to flooding. Having a designated "safe room" in your home can help you protect your family from the dangerous forces of extreme winds. It can also relieve some of the anxiety created by the threat of an oncoming tornado or hurricane. A safe room should have access to running water, a toilet and at least 10 square feet per person.
A safe room can be built or installed anywhere in a house, but it must be a "room within a room." That means, it's walls, ceiling, and floor must be structurally separate from the rest of the house, so that even if the surrounding house is destroyed, the safe room will remain intact.
Possible Locations for A Safe Room:Closets, bathrooms (the best choice), storage or utility rooms and garages with only one door and no windows are well suited for use as "safe rooms." Your "safe room" should be readily accessible from all parts of your house. Interior bathrooms have the added advantage of having a water supply and toilet. A space selected as your "safe room" should be free of clutter for quick and easy entry, so occupants will not be injured by falling objects. If a safe room is built outside, it should be made of concrete or concrete masonry.
Building a Reinforced Safe Room in Existing Home:Please note: Safe rooms are not recommended to be built in evacuation zones because they would not protect against rising water.

Watch LCA's Award Winning PSA
Food for Thought
LCA's 2018 Tarshis Award winning PSA - Food for Thought
A twisted look at the thin line we draw between our pets and our food.
LCA's award-winning PSA forces viewers to question our relationship to the animals we eat and the absurdity by which we designate some as companions and others as "food".
Winner of the Animal Film Festival's 2018 Tarshis Award, for a film that "successfully, creatively and convincingly highlights the issues of animal suffering in modern farming, food production, and/or laboratory research, and provide messages that influences people to pursue a more plant-based lifestyle."
Written & Directed by Dustin Brown
Produced by William Martens & Dustin Brown
Cinematography by Mark Mannschreck
Production Design by Gintare Bandinskaite
Edited by Dustin Brown
Starring Julia Conley, Alexander Toledo, Marley Ficalora
Production Company © 2018 Last Chance for Animals
A vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is someone who does not eat meat, fish, poultry, or any animal by-products such as eggs, dairy, and honey. Vegans also do not use products tested on animals or any product derived from animals, such as leather, fur, silk, and wool. Veganism is a philosophy, lifestyle, and set of principles, not simply a diet.
Living a vegan lifestyle provides numerous benefits to animals' lives, the environment, and our own health.
Animals raised for human consumption and use suffer tremendously in today's factory farms and the person who chooses a vegan diet demonstrates a concern for the pain animals endure. Farmed animals are bred, fed, confined, and drugged to lay more eggs, birth more offspring, and die with more meat on their bones at the expense of their health, wellbeing and social development.
The belief that eating eggs or drinking milk doesn't kill animals is false. Commercially-raised dairy cows and egg-laying chickens, whether "free range" or factory-farmed, are slaughtered when their production rates decrease. The factory farm methods that are used to produce most meats are also used to produce eggs and milk. The animals are seen not as individuals, sentient beings with unique physical and psychological needs but as a means to an end- eggs, milk, meat, leather, and so on.
The question is not, can they reason? Nor can they talk? But can they suffer? - Jeremy Bentham
Sentient Beings
Chickens are very interesting animals. They are thought to be as intelligent as cats, and dogs. They have cultural knowledge that is passed down from generation to generation and they learn from watching each other.
Pigs are insightful and curious and are thought to have intelligence beyond that of a 3-year-old human child. They are even smarter than dogs! Pigs are extremely friendly, loyal, and affectionate animals.
Cows are intelligent creatures who enjoy solving problems. Cows have been known to do some amazing things such as walking 7 miles to be reunited with a calf after being sold at auction, leaping over a 6-foot fence to escape a slaughterhouse, and swimming across a river to their freedom.
Turkeys are playful birds who enjoy being social and being in the company of others. They love having their feathers stroked and like to chirp, cluck, and gobble. They have tons of character and are very aware of their surroundings.
Animal Agriculture
Agribusiness considers farm animals products and tools of production, rather than as living, feeling animals. This attitude has resulted in the commodification of sentient beings and the prevalence of animal cruelty on industrialized factory farms. The statements below prove this attitude. Read more about Factory Farming.
Free Range
The United States Department of Agriculture, which regulates free-range products for labeling purposes, relies upon the producer's word that the farm animals are indeed free range. A farmer could, therefore, label a product "free-range" when in fact it is not. Moreover, there are very few requirements for labeling products "free range." For instance, birds raised for meat may be called "free-range" if they have some sort of access to the outdoors, regardless of how much space each individual animal has. Free-range farm hens are unable to lay enough eggs to be considered profitable after one or two years. They are then typically sold to slaughterhouses or live-poultry markets. As on factory farms, free-range, male chicks are considered worthless: at birth, they are dumped into trash cans and suffocated, ground up alive, or sold to laboratories. And like factory farm animals, when free-range animals are no longer productive, in other words, when they are no longer profitable, they are killed.
Humans do not need to eat meat, dairy, or eggs; all of our dietary needs can easily be met with an animal-free diet. People who consume animal products are more susceptible to cancer, stroke, obesity, appendicitis, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, and food poisoning. Vegan diets, on the other hand, tend to be high in fiber and low in fat and cholesterol. On average, vegetarians live seven years longer than meat-eaters. 80 to 90% of all cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and other degenerative illnesses can be prevented until a very old age, with a plant-based diet.
Humans that eat meat are 40% more likely to get cancer than those that don't eat meat.
95% of human exposure to dioxin, a probable cause of cancer and other health risks, comes through meat, fish and dairy consumption.
The rate of colon cancer is highest in regions where meat consumption is higher.
The EPA estimates that fish can accumulate up to nine million times the level of cancer-causing polychlorinated biphenyls found in the water in which they live.
Heart Disease
Heart attacks kill more than 500,000 people a year- more than any other disease; 4,000 Americans suffer heart attacks every day.
People who eat meat are at least 30% more likely to die of a heart attack than vegetarians.
Plants contain antioxidants which help prevent clogged arteries. The artery-clogging process can be reversed without drugs by adopting a vegetarian diet.
A vegetarian diet can prevent 97% of coronary occlusions.
The vegetarian diet's high fiber level helps cleanse away excess cholesterol in the digestive tract.
Diets rich in animal protein cause people to excrete more calcium than normal through their urine, thereby increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
A plant-based diet, which provides sufficient amounts of protein and calcium through the consumption of leafy green vegetables, beans, and fortified fruit juices, can help protect against osteoporosis.
Prostate Problems
The right vegetarian diet can reduce the hormonal stimulation of the prostate and prevent both prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Recent studies have linked eating meat to impotence.
Food Poisoning
Approximately 9,000 Americans die annually from food-borne illness while an estimated 80 million others fall ill from it.
The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that up to 40% of poultry sold in the U.S. is infected with salmonella bacteria.
Approximately 30% of all pork products are contaminated by toxoplasmosis.
The USDA's meat inspection system remains grossly inadequate, and consumers are now being told to "expect" animal products to be tainted.
The pesticides and other chemicals found in meat are up to 14 times more concentrated than those in plant foods. This concentration contributes to the 60-70% of food poisonings that are linked to meat intake.
Animals can only survive the overcrowding, squalor, and stress of the factory farm with medication. Thus many are given antibiotics which in turn find their way into streams and rivers and to consumers who eat the animals or their products. Sulfamethazine, for example, is routinely given to pigs in spite of being a known carcinogen. Most meat in U.S. slaughterhouses is never tested for drug and chemical deposits.
Raising animals for food is an extremely inefficient way to feed the ever-growing human population. Animal agriculture uses up enormous quantities of fossil fuels, water, and other resources contributing greatly to global warming. They are filled with noxious fumes, dust, bacteria, and decaying feces, all of which they release into the environment. Animal wastes carry pesticides, bacteria, and viruses; the wastes pollute drinking water with high levels of nitrates which can potentially be fatal to infants.
Animal Agriculture and Global Warming
Global warming is an increase in the Earth's temperature caused by human activities, such as burning coal, oil, and natural gas. This releases carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases form a blanket around the Earth, trapping heat and raising temperatures on the ground. This is steadily changing our climate.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported in 2006 that "Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today's most serious environmental problems." Animal agriculture pollutes water, air, and soil and contributes more greenhouse gases than all cars and trucks in the world combined.
Animal Agriculture and Natural Resources
One acre of pasture produces an average of 165 pounds of beef; the same acre can produce 20,000 pounds of potatoes.
It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of meat. Between 70-90% of all U.S. grain is fed to farmed animals bred and raised for slaughter.
The U.S. livestock population consumes enough grain and soybeans to feed more than 5 times the entire U.S. population.
The world's cattle alone consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people – more than the entire human population on earth.
If Americans reduced their meat consumption by 10%, it would free 12 million tons of grain annually for human consumption. That alone would be enough to feed each of the 60 million people who starve to death each year.
87% of all agricultural land in the U.S. is used to raise animals for food.
About 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to create cropland to produce our meat-centered diet.
Producing one hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles.
Nearly 40% of all Central American rainforests were destroyed to create pasture for beef cattle. The rainforests are the primary source of oxygen for the entire planet.
55 square feet of rainforest may be razed to produce just one quarter-pound burger.
Environmental Damage Caused by Factory Farms
Habitat loss
Biodiversity loss
Ecosystem damage and destruction
Growth of pathogenic organisms
Rangeland degradation
Topsoil erosion
Global warming
Formation of noxious oxide
Release of large quantities of methane
Ammonia emissions
Spreading of nitrates in groundwater
Crop contamination
Groundwater contamination (because the soil cannot assimilate all of the animal waste)
Wildlife killed by the government and by farm operators

Bike Riding Day Skirt
Added Jun 17, 2013
by melonhead
Roanoke, Indiana...
I made this skirt a couple of years ago based off of an Orla Kiely design. It was during the time when I was obsessed with everything made from her. Every collection has a beautiful vintage nostalgic feel that I can only compare to the feeling I get after watching a Wes Anderson film. The way she works with prints and colors is genius, and she'll always be one of my favorite designers.
The skirt was made using a linen fabric I found in the $1 section at Wal-Mart (where else). It's a simple gathered skirt with an invisible zipper in the back. There are two layers on the skirt that overlay each other and hidden pockets in the sides of the skirt. The bottom hem line was finished using hand made 1 inch bias tape made from muslin. I know that muslin is normally used for mock ups, but I liked the color, plus it saved a bit of money.
More over on my blog: http://esther-fromthesticks.blogspot.com/2013/06/orla-kiely-inspired-skirt.html
Material Notes
Linen, muslin, interfacing, invisible zipper, thread

Very nice skirt, did u make the hat too? Beautiful photos :)

Orla and Wes – two of my favourite creative people. I love their sepia toned ways and you've captured beautifully the Orla style of photography here as well. Heck If I saw it in isolation, I would have thought it was a campaign photo! Beautiful sewing too as always!

Compiled From Wire Reports Kurt Waldheim, former U.N. secretary general, won Austria's June 8 run-off presidential election, with 53.9 percent of the vote in spite of allegations of a Nazi past. "The result showed that the Austrian people are not prepared to accept' these accusations that.have been made against me," the 67-year-old Waldheim said in a victory statement on Austrian television. Others, however, including Israel, have accepted the evidence- that Waldheim participated in the Nazi killings of prisoners and civil> ians in the Balkans. In Tel Aviv, the Israeli government issued a statement expressing "deep regret and disappointment at the election of Kurt Waldheim as president Of \llstllJ ' Kjll\ U'piill^ indicated that Israel was planning to recall its ambassador to Austria in reaction to the election. The American Jewish Congress has asked that Waldheim, because of his/Nazi past, be barred from the United States. The U.S. Justice Department, however, said, shortly after the election, that Waldheim will be allowed into the U.S. because his status as head of state would take precedence over any action against him under a 1978 law allowing the US. to deny visas to undesirable aliens. These include those associated with the Nazi government and thoise who took part in mass executions of Jewish and other ethnic groups during WW II. Waldheim has acknowledged serving in the German army but as a desk officer whose job ,was to verify field reports, not to conduct oper- .ition-. oi l'iu- oniric '_,^ ?ClMgr .i ir&iTiiiy' fsvjf 7?? f f^.-:iElten«rkrS??;c ?<prkJffe;B'SiS5 - * ' 'lf^lS'V'.':i''^'':'f Outgoing Torah Academy President Larry Ruben (right) is passing the gavel to new President Bob Schottenstein (top photo).

Schottenstein was installed as the tenth president of Columbus Torah Academy at the Annual Meeting held on Wednesday, June 4. Schottenstein had been serving as vice president of development. . Dr. Irving Fried, principal, commented, "Bob Schottenstein is deeply committed to Torah Academy — a commitment that comes from an understanding that there can be no Jewish future without intensive Jewish education.

U.S. stocks rose solidly on Black Friday, the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 68 points at 12,904 in the first half-hour of trading. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose seven to 1,398. The Nasdaq composite index gained 18 to 2,944.
Retail is a key driver of the nation's economy. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. November and December, which can account for as much as 40 percent of a retailer's annual revenue, are crucial for stores.
The Friday after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because it begins the period in which many retailers turn profitable for the year. Traders will be looking for signs about how enthusiastically Americans are spending. That could reflect the momentum of the economic recovery.
Trading volume was light, with many investors away for an extended weekend after Thanksgiving. The market will close early, at 1 p.m. EST.
In an effort to lure shoppers this year, many stores were opening earlier than ever. Target and Toys R Us opened on Thanksgiving evening. Retailers are also trying to draw shoppers with free layaway and shipping, by matching prices of online rivals and by beefing up their mobile shopping apps.
European indexes added to earlier gains after Wall Street opened. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares rose 0.4 percent, Germany's DAX 0.6 percent and France's CAC-40 0.5 percent.
Investors are monitoring developments in Brussels, where European Union leaders are trying to agree on a $1.25 trillion long-term spending plan for the 27-nation bloc. Markets expect that another meeting will be needed for an agreement.
Among the stocks making big moves:
� Research in Motion Ltd. jumped on growing optimism for an earlier-than-expected launch of its delayed BlackBerry 10 smartphone. A senior executive from the Canadian company said earlier this month that Research In Motion, or RIM, will release the latest version of its smartphone "not long after" a Jan. 30 event. One analyst saw that as an indication that the products are to be unveiled in February. U.S.-traded shares of RIM rose $1.20, or 12 percent, to $11.46.
� MAP Pharmaceuticals spiked after the company announced that the Food and Drug Administration will review its experimental migraine drug Levadex. The stock rose $2.41, or 19 percent, to $15.23.
� KIT Digital Inc. lost more than half its value after the company's former chief executive accused it of blaming prior management for its financial problems. Two days earlier, KIT said it would restate its financial results because of accounting errors. The stock lost $1.17, or 57 percent to 90 cents.

Romario calls for World Cup protests
Former Brazil international Romario has called for protests over the Brazil government's alleged neglect of vital infrastructure to continue during next year's World Cup.
There is continued backlash in Brazil as citizens argue that too much money has been spent on organising the tournament at the expense of vital public services.
World Cup winner Romario, who is now a politician in his home country, would welcome a repeat of the public protests that marred July's Confederations Cup.
"I want people to see where their money is being spent and I am sure my message is getting across," he told Radio Globo. "One of the big positives is that people have taken to the streets and I want them to keep protesting up until the elections next year, and I believe they will."
It was widely reported that a number of stadiums used for the Confederations Cup were completed in excess of their budget and Romario claims public transportation and other services were sacrificed as a result.
Although the former Barcelona and Flamengo striker was quick to insist he is not taking a stand against the World Cup, he made his opposition to Brazil's preparation methods very clear.
"I am not against the World Cup but I can't be for the money that is being spent on it," he said. "As much as we want the World Cup the Brazilian people deserve respect, they don't deserve this open abuse of their money."

Sharks 5, Wild 4, OTNHL.com @NHLdotcom
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -On the scoreboard and in the standings, the San Jose Sharks were a winning team again.
But on the ice, they're still struggling to play the part of Western Conference co-leaders.
Christian Ehrhoff's overtime goal sailed over Minnesota goalie Niklas Backstrom's stick and salvaged a badly needed victory on Tuesday night for the Sharks, who blew a three-goal lead but managed to beat the Wild 5-4.
"We'll take the win," coach Todd McLellan said, "but I'm disappointed. We've won a lot of hockey games, and we need to carry ourselves like we have won a lot of hockey games. We need to play with more confidence. We've earned the opportunity to play confident and be confident."
He paused.
"Right now we're fragile, and hopefully this snaps us out of it," McLellan said.
The Sharks ended a four-game losing streak, but barely, and kept pace with the Detroit Red Wings for first place.
"When the game's on the line, I want guys that want to be up to bat and hit the single or double that scores the winning run, rather than walking and getting to first," McLellan said, less than an hour after the Red Wings also won in overtime. "We need to take the challenge on a little bit more."
Scowling Owen Nolan fought for two goals - giving him 20 for the season - in the last six-plus minutes of regulation against his old team to tie the game for Minnesota.
The Wild were happy with a point after falling behind so big early on a rough night by the All-Star Backstrom. He stopped only 18 shots and let two "weak" goals, in the view of coach Jacques Lemaire, past him in the first period.
"We were fortunate the bounces starting ending up on our side," Backstrom said.
He has given up 17 goals in 4 1/2 games - he was pulled in one - since signing a $24 million, four-year contract extension.
Travis Moen, playing his second game with the Sharks since being traded by Anaheim, joined Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo on a new first line. Moen chipped a puck out of the corner about four minutes in, and it took a wicked hop after making contact with Thornton and sailed softly above Backstrom's glove.
Later, Moen put picked up a perfect rebound and slammed it past Backstrom after the goalie denied a short-handed breakaway attempt. Minnesota's first even-strength shot didn't come until about 70 seconds remained in the first period, and the frustrated home crowd booed the players off the ice as they retreated to the locker room.
Thornton added a power-play goal early in the middle frame to give the Sharks a three-goal lead.
"If Bak would've been just a little better," Lemaire said, "we could've won that game."
San Jose's top line sure worked, with Thornton scoring twice and Moen getting a goal and an assist. The Sharks led 3-0, the same advantage they had six days earlier in San Jose before the Wild surged to tie the game on Marek Zidlicky's fluke goal that Brian Boucher bumbled.
Mikko Koivu, who set up Nolan's first goal by hustling to take the puck away in the corner after the Sharks won a faceoff, had the winner in overtime last Wednesday.
This time, all-around sloppiness with the puck did in the Wild despite late goals from Peter Olvecky and Pierre-Marc Bouchard.
"You've got to be able to find the open man and make that play," said Lemaire, whose team returns to the road after going 2-4 on the last trip and falling out of the last playoff spot.
Boucher, who made 25 saves, has played six straight while Evgeni Nabokov has been out with an illness and a lower-body injury. He wasn't very good, either, but Ehrhoff - who was scratched from the last game after several weeks of sub-par play - bailed him out.
"We're not making it easy on ourselves, that's for sure," Boucher said.
Notes: Missing-in-action star Marian Gaborik was scheduled to travel with the Wild to Colorado. Gaborik, who has missed all but six games this season because of groin and hip problems, will resume practicing "when ready," according to the team. ... The Sharks were short-handed themselves, with Nabokov still out and stalwart defenseman Rob Blake not on the trip due to a sore foot. ... The Wild were without top D Brent Burns, who has been ill and went to see a doctor Tuesday for further examination. Burns has had recurring headaches and concussion-like symptoms and will skip the trip. Fellow D Kurtis Foster, who played his first game in a year Saturday after recovering from a broken leg, was also scratched because he's still a bit rusty. John Scott, a 6-foot-8 blue line prospect, was recalled from the minors. ... Thornton has 16 points in 13 games. ... Nolan, who played for the Sharks from 1995-2003, raised his career total to 401 goals.

It has bothered me for a while that I had valuable audio information that I needed to preserve. All of this information was currently on audio cassettes. How many cassette players are still around?
First I downloaded Audacity and borrowed my grandson's boombox. Since I am not a sound engineer, I wasn't sure what adjustments to make to clean up the sound. Next I purchased a different software program but my Windows upgrade made it unusable before I got around to using it.
I spoke with band personnel in both the US Army Band and our local High School band but couldn't get any recommendations. My dilemma increased.
This is what I wanted to preserve: my parents recordings of family gatherings in the 1940s ( the voices of my parents, aunts, uncles and cousins.), a 2002 concert of my great-grandfathers music from Norway in honor of his 150th birthday, a letter from my mother and her sisters during their cruise in 1973, and my daughter Laura's senior concert on clarinet in 1989.
Finally I went searching online for a company doing this work. I found a company that appeared to meet my needs and checked out their reviews. I e-mailed the company to be sure they could do what I needed. When the answer was positive, I took a deep breath, boxed up my cassettes and sent them off! It took longer than expected but I received my CDs back last week as promised along with the original cassettes. I am thrilled with the results and will be making copies to share with my eight siblings and twenty one first cousins who will here their ancestors voices once again!

Autocephaly/Autonomy in 1924
The implication in the timeline, that the OCA proclaimed its "Autocephaly/Autonomy" in 1924, is a bit misleading. Although it is true that the Metropolia "broke administrative ties" with Moscow at this time, this by no means implies that they were proclaiming ecclesiastical autocephaly or autonomy. Those actions were intended as a temporary reaction to the turmoil in Russia, not a permament and canonically binding ecclesiastical declaration. The OCA's present status was not a unilateral declaration, as most of the more recent autocephalies were, rather was negotiated with the Patriarchate of Moscow prior to the official declaration in April of 1970 by the Church of Russia.

I am a first time mom and only breast feeding my son of 6 weeks. I am really concerned that one breast is significantly larger than teh other. I pump and try to get my son to nurse from the smaller one but it still doesn't produce as much milk as the larger. And even the milk it produces is mostly the let down.
I literally feel like Quasimoto.
I am concerned not just for the sake of vanity and feeling self conscious, but also the fact that the larger breast gets full so quickly and aches t the point I either have to continuously nurse or pump. It's definitely the "work-horse" of the two and right now it feels overworked. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, I could really use some advice, particularly how I can get the smaller one to produce more milk in the smaller.
Thank You.
-Kristin (Quincy's Mom)

LEED Certification Where Energy Efficiency Collides with Human Health, An EHHI Report
Report Summary
LEED Standards Are Being Adopted into Many Laws
Green Building Council standards are being incorporated into federal, state and local laws through legislation, executive orders, resolutions, policies, loan-granting criteria and tax credits. As demonstrated in this report, LEED standards are clearly insufficient to protect human health, yet they are being adopted by many levels of government as law. Thus the Green Building Council, a trade association for the building industry, is effectively structuring the regulations. The number of jurisdictions adopting these standards as law is growing, which will make them difficult if not impossible to change, unless federal law and regulation supersede the "green" standards with health-protective regulations.
No Federal Definition or Regulation of Green Building Standards
There is no federal definition of "green building standards" analogous to federal "organic food standards" or drinking water standards. Given regulatory neglect, many trade organizations have worked to create their own certification programs, hoping to capture growing demand for environmentally friendly and heath-protective buildings.
Energy Efficiency Given Priority Over Health
The LEED credit system is heavily weighted to encourage energy-efficient building performance. Nearly four times as many credits are awarded as energy conservation technologies and designs (35 possible credits) as for protection of indoor environmental quality from hazardous chemicals (8 possible credits).
Green Building Council Board Has Little Expertise in Environmental Health
Directors of the LEED Program are predominantly engineers, architects, developers, real estate executives, chemical industry officials and building product manufacturers. One medical doctor representing Physicians for Social Responsibility was recently appointed to sit on the board, which has 25 directors.
False Impression of Healthy Buildings
The Green Building Council's award of "platinum," "gold", and "silver" status conveys the false impression of a healthy and safe building environment, even when well-recognized hazardous chemicals exist in building products.
Time Spent Indoors
Americans today are spending more than 90 percent of their time indoors. The EPA spends the majority of its resources working to manage outdoor threats to environmental quality and human health.
Tighter Buildings Increase Human Exposure
Energy conservation efforts have made buildings tighter, often reducing air exchange between the indoors and outdoors. Since outdoor air is often cleaner than indoor air, the reduction of outdoor-indoor exchange tends to concentrate particles, gases and other chemicals that can lead to more intense human exposures than would be experienced in better-ventilated environments.
However, the LEED program has been effective in encouraging more efficient heating and ventilation techniques, such as solar panels, geothermal wells, window placement and building orientation.
Toxic Chemicals in Built Environments
Tens of thousands of different building materials and products are now sold in global markets. Many of these products contain chemicals recognized by the U.S. National Toxicology Program, the CDC, or the World Health Organization to be hazardous.
These products include pesticides, chemical components of plastics, flame retardants, metals, solvents, adhesives and stain-resistant applications.
Some are carcinogens, neurotoxins, hormone mimics, reproductive toxins, developmental toxins, or chemicals that either stimulate or suppress the immune system.
Chemicals in Buildings Are Often Found in Human Tissues
The CDC began testing human tissues to determine the presence of some chemical ingredients of building materials. Most individuals whose tissues were tested carried dozens of these chemicals in their hair, blood or urine. Children often carry higher concentrations than adults. Chemicals released by building materials to indoor environments may be inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin.
No Level of LEED Certification Assures Health Protection
It is possible for new construction to be certified at the "platinum" level with no credits awarded for air quality assurance in the category "indoor environmental quality."

NEW YORK (AP) - April 25, 2013 --The daughter of film director Martin Scorsese has filed a lawsuit claiming an online video company cut her out of profits from her directorial debut.
Catherine Scorsese filed the suit in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from Jumpview Entertainment and its owners Michael Simon and Kenneth Waddell.
Scorsese says she was asked to co-produce and co-direct the film. She says she even got her father and actor Ray Liotta to appear in the film.
Scorsese says Simon and Waddell failed to honor the 25 percent of the film profits they promised her.
Jumpview didn't return requests for comment.

3. Arise and sing, ye sons of men;All praise and honor give.Arise and sing to his great name,Who died that we might live.On Zion's hill, in strength and might,Send forth a joyous strain;In triumph over sin and strife,With him in glory reign.
