ICANN Begins Moving Away from U.S. Control
Commerce and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will still maintain a relationship, but the United States will not have as much control as it has had since ICANN's 1998 inception.
"We've hit our target after 11 years and we're now mature enough to move on to the next phase of our global development," Rod Beckstrom, chief executive of ICANN, said in a statement.
California-based ICANN serves as the Internet's governing body, overseeing the domain name system. The purpose of ICANN was to transfer authority of the Web from the U.S. government to the private sector. For more than a decade, though, the U.S. has had primary control over the organization, prompting complaints from other countries.
The origins of the Internet date back to the 1960s with Arpanet, a network established by the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which was initially used for research purposes. The task of maintaining a list of host names and addresses, however, eventually proved to be quite difficult, and the department created the domain name system (DNS) in the 1980s.
Arpanet was phased out by 1990, and that developed into NSFNET, a national high-speed network based on Internet protocols developed by IBM, MCI, and Merit via a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
By 1992, Congress gave NSF the authority to allow commercial activity on NSFNET, which laid the foundation for the Internet we know today. In 1997, President Clinton directed the secretary of Commerce to privatize the DNS, and that effort led to the creation of ICANN in 1998.
In 2006, Commerce and ICANN signed a joint project agreement (JPA) that continued their relationship until September 30, 2009. With the expiration of that agreement, the U.S. now relinquishes primary control and instead become a member of ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC).
"The affirmation is an affirmation of commitments among the parties effectively for us to have a continued relationship with the United States government, and our commitment to do periodic reviews of our accountability and transparency as an organization of our performance and security and resiliency and in other areas," Beckstrom said in a video interview conducted by ICANN. "And we're committing to do those reviews, but in the past under the JPA, those reviews were simply submitted to the U.S. government. Under the new relationship, these reviews are developed by what will conventionally be an international committee of parties."
The GAC represents 100 countries around the globe, and now, "the U.S government will have a seat at the table," Beckstrom said.
"What is really means it that we're going global," he continued. "There's no separate reporting to the U.S. government. All the reporting is to the world; that's the real change."
In August, several members of Congress sent a letter to ICANN asking that any agreement fulfill three requirements that the deal be long-term, that ICANN maintain a U.S. headquarters, and that the organization be subject to adequate accountability.
Wednesday's agreement fulfills all those requests, Beckstrom said. The deal is a "perpetual agreement" and "fundamentally long-standing," he said. Accountability reviews, meanwhile, will be conducted every three years.
"This framework puts the public interest front and center, and it establishes processes for stakeholders around the world to review ICANN's performance," Lawrence E. Strickling, administrator for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) within Commerce, said in a statement.
Domain name registrar Go Daddy welcomed the deal.
"It's an important step in the commitment to transparency, accountability and stability," Go Daddy CEO and founder Bob Parsons said in a statement. "We are also encouraged by the positive message this sends to the global Internet community, that international interests are important to ICANN and its community. It's a healthy move for the Internet."

Blue Angel German ecolabel
The Blue Angel offers manufacturers and traders the opportunity to show the environmental advantage of their products. Blue Angel is the oldest ecolabel in the world, and it covers some 10.000 products in some 80 product categories. Blue Angel attempts to promote the "better" products - meaning those products, that show better environmental properties than the mainstream products are doing. Geographically the Blue Angel covers German market, but it is also recognised more and more outside Germany.
Use of Blue Angel requires an application to RAL along with the necessary documentation, and payment of an annual fee, the height of which depends on actual sales volume. Eurofins is offering testing for Blue Angel, and support with application for the license to use that label. Similar services are offered with respect to several other ecolabels around the world.
There are several Blue Angel criteria.
Textiles and shoes
RAL UZ 154 - Textiles
RAL UZ 155 - Shoes
Interior finishing products and furniture
There are a number of Blue Angel criteria for products with low emissions into indoor air and thus potential impact on human health:
- RAL UZ 38 - furniture and slatted frames
- RAL UZ 102 - Wall paints
- RAL UZ 113 - Flooring adhesives
- RAL UZ 117 - Upholstered furniture
- RAL UZ 119 - Mattresses
- RAL UZ 120 - Resilient (flexible) floor coverings, such as linoleum and rubber
- RAL UZ 123 - Sealants
- RAL UZ 128 - Textile flooring
- RAL UZ 132 - Insulation material and ceiling plates
- RAL UZ 148 - Upholstery leather
- RAL UZ 156 - Flooring insulation underlays
- RAL UZ 159 - Textile toys
- RAL UZ 176 - Wooden floorings, boards and doors
- RAL UZ 198 - Low-Emission Internal Plasters
Eurofins is approved as a testing laboratory by Blue Angel for all the above mentioned labels. While most of these specifications are well adopted and used by a number of industries, some other industries prefer working with well established alternative labels, for which Eurofins offers the same services. This holds true namely for the carpet industry and its GUT label, and for the adhesives and sealant industry and its EMICODE label. A comparison showed the equivalency of EMICODE - Blue Angel - AgBB/DIBt - CDPH Section 01350 (2010) is available in English and in German. Nevertheless, Blue Angel can be a major tool in showing ecological advantages for marketing purposes.

Risking Jail, Iranian Women Protest Obligatory Headscarf
At least five women took off their head scarves in different public locations as a protest against the official dress code
Social media postings show at least five women in Iran protesting the obligatory Muslim headscarf by taking theirs off and waving them on sticks. The videos and photos show individual women in separate locations in Tehran and Isfahan.
Masoud Sarabi, who witnessed one of the protests, on Monday confirmed the authenticity of a video shot on Tehran's Enghelab Street. The others appeared to be authentic, but The Associated Press could not independently verify them.
The women appear to be following the lead of a 31-year-old protester identified as Vida Movahed, who took off her headscarf on the same street in December.
Movahed, a mother of a 20-month-old daughter, was detained for a few weeks and then released. To support Movahed in her act of protest, many Iranians shared hashtag on their social media profiles that translates as "The Enghelab Street girl."
Women showing their hair in public can be jailed for up to two months and fined $25.

It is best made at home, but bought versions are not to be despised. In the Middle East it is a dip about which there are many schools of thought. The supersmooth hummus of Beirut is different from that of Damascus, lighter than that of Cairo, and a world away from the rougher product of Cypriot kitchens, while the Israelis tend to skimp on the olive oil. Apart from using good oil, the most important difference is to do with the chickpea skins, which must be rigorously rubbed off, or else grittiness ensues.
The process through which hummus, pesto and salsa have become essential lubricants of British life, displacing the old trinity of salad cream, tomato ketchup and brown sauce, has been a beneficial one. But while pesto divides and salsa inflames, hummus soothes. May it soon return to the aisles.

Point of View
The novel is told from the first-person point of view of Dawn Cutler, the heroine of the novel. This point of view is appropriate as Dawn makes her way through the various aspects and challenges of her life. The plot of the novel deals with the way that Grandmother Cutler is cruel to Dawn all through her life, then Dawn comes out with the upper hand as she is given the majority of interest in Cutler's Cove by her father at the end of the novel. The dramatic impact of this abuse could not have been as startling if it were told by another character.
The story is recounted through both dialogue and exposition with about as much emphasis given to both of these two forms of writing. In the dialogue sections, Dawn interacts with the characters around her. It is in these sections that the...

Other names: Mitre Aloe
Family: Asphodelaceae
Aloe perfoliata was formerly known as Aloe mitriformis. The physical appearance of this aloe varies greatly depending on environment, and consequently various sub-populations have previously often been mistaken for being separate species. The South African National Biodiversity Institute now recognizes that these are all members of the same species, Aloe perfoliata, comprising what were previously known as Aloe mitriformis, Aloe distans, Aloe comptonii, Aloe albispina and Aloe flavispina among others.

Determining quality when buying online is not an easy task, which means you may have to put in a little research into the company before placing your order. If you cannot find information online about the company or customer reviews on review sites, then read through their returns policy or see if they offer a satisfaction guarantee of some kind.
For those seeking a good night's sleep, they may want to look into quality bedding sets. Investing in comfortable sheets, blankets, and comforters will help you be able to get the sleep you desire. Who doesn't enjoy waking up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day? Subpar bedding can leave you feeling tired and like you have to drag yourself out of bed in order to get started. Bedding can really have an effect on your sleep, so it is important that you choose the right sets.

Both these innovative blushes have long been of interest to me, but I always thought that neither would work for a woman of my brown-skinnededness (yes, I just made up a word - move on). Well, I was wrong. The Smashbox O-Glow, while sounding totally unbelievable and hokey, does actually work as promised. I tried it on myself, and two of my friends of a lighter skinned hue and it worked on all of us. On me, it's a brighter pink, while on them it was more subdued. I like it a lot and it works nicely for a natural look. I have to say, though, that I didn't find it to be long-lasting - I had to reapply a couple times during the day (I was sweating a bit, however, so take that into consideration). Also, I had to use a bit more product to achieve the rosy-ness I was looking for.
The Tarte Cheekstain worked even better! I got it in Tickled, which is described as a peachy pink. It looks red in the tube and when you initially apply it to your skin, but after you blend it some, it does, indeed, become a vibrant peachy pink. And it lasts for hours, with no reapplication necessary. I also like that it's great for layering - I use this first and then apply some bronzer on top and my face looks rosy and fresh all day long. Thumbs up! The only drawback to this is that you have to be careful if it gets hot - it tends to melt easily.

Get Smart about Antibiotics Week kicked off today with the Centers for Disease Control reminding patients and doctors of the dangers of using antibiotics for viral rather than bacterial infections.
"Many people have the misconception that since antibiotics are commonly used that they are harmless," said Dr. Lauri Hicks, medical director of CDC's antibiotic program and co-author of a new report recommending responsible antibiotic use. "Taking antibiotics when you have a virus can do more harm than good."

I said I would cover a new type of Tree in my post about Tree ADT's, didn't I?
Anyways, today I'm focusing on Binary Search Trees, which are also called BST's. Now, to understand BST's, lets first make one thing clear- they are NOT the same thing as Binary Trees. I made this mistake a lot when I first started working with them, and it made communicating my ideas about these concepts quite annoying. So in case I wasn't clear- let me reiterate this point one more time:
A Binary Tree- also called a BT- is simply a tree ADT which always has 2 positions for possible children- left and right. This means that, if you take any node in a BT, you can only access a maximum of two other nodes. Although this may seem restrictive at first, it also allows us to implement various types of search algorithms. And this is where BST's come in.
A BST is just a type of a BT with an additional rule; that the value of any node in the tree must be larger than the value of every node in the sub-tree who's root is it's left child. And the same is true for the sub-tree rooted in its right child, except with larger values instead. Confusing? Here's a better way of explaining it.
Remember, the topmost node of a tree (the one with no parent) is the root. Any node in a tree can be considered the root of its own tree- called a sub-tree of the original tree. In order to access a specific node in some tree- let's just say it's value is 7- we need to use a search algorithm, and we must always start at the root of the tree provided. Than, we must find some way to travel (or "transverse") the nodes of the trees until we find the node we want. Unlike a list, we do not simply travel over every node in the tree in a sequence until we find the one with the value we want. In fact, such a searching method is actually considered to be really inefficient. After all, you would have to evaluate every element in the list just to verify if the element isn't in the list.
However, there are more efficient search algorithms, such as binary search. Binary Search takes list already sorted in ascending order, and takes it's middle element. It than splits the list into two sub-lists- one containing every element left of the middle, and one for every element to the right. It than does a comparison. If the element your looking for is bigger, than go to the right sub-list and repeat the algorithm. If its smaller, it will go to the left sub-list and repeat. And if it's not bigger or smaller, than congrats, it can only be equal, and so you've found it!
As you have probably guessed, binary search trees are another way of implementing this search algorithm. However, rather than take a presorted list, it takes a BST. Since a BST, by definition, stores elements in such a manner so that the only elements in the left sub-tree of the node have values smaller than its own (and bigger with right), a similar algorithm can be implemented to find any piece of data. For instance, if the node you are looking for has a value of 5, and the value of the node you are evaluating is 7, you know that the node you are looking for must occur in the sub-tree to the left of the current node (if it's in the tree at all), since that sub-tree contains all the values smaller than 7. So, even in the worst case, this search algorithm will be significantly faster than a simple, linear search.

Adam Silver, Commissioner of the NBA, has just banned Clippers team owner Donald Sterling from the NBA for life. Now the other 29 team owners in the NBA would have to muster a two-thirds majority vote to force Sterling to sell the Clippers (possibly to Magic Johnson).
If you were an NBA owner, would you vote to force Donald Sterling, an admitted racist, to sell the Clippers?
Adam Silver, Commissioner of the NBA:
"The views expressed by Mr. Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful; that they came from an NBA owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage. Sentiments of this kind are contrary to the principles of inclusion and respect that form the foundation of our diverse, multicultural and multiethnic league.
"I am personally distraught that the views expressed by Mr. Sterling came from within an institution that has historically taken such a leadership role in matters of race relations and caused current and former players, coaches, fans and partners of the NBA to question their very association with the league.
"To them, and pioneers of the game like Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper, Sweetwater Clifton, the great Bill Russell, and particularly Magic Johnson, I apologize. Accordingly, effective immediately, I am banning Mr. Sterling for life from any association with the Clippers organization or the NBA. Mr. Sterling may not attend any NBA games or practices. He may not be present at any Clippers facility, and he may not participate in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team. He will also be barred from attending NBA Board of Governors meetings or participating in any other league activity.
"I am also fining Mr. Sterling $2.5 million, the maximum amount allowed under the NBA constitution. These funds will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti discrimination and tolerance efforts that will be jointly selected by the NBA and its Players Association.
"As for Mr. Sterling's ownership interest in the Clippers, I will urge the Board of Governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and will do everything in my power to ensure that that happens."

Freedom of speech only shelters the public from the Federal Government exerting unwarranted control over public discourse.Warranted control would be instances like the famous "Yelling fire in a crowded theater" type of situation.
Thus, if an employer says that any employee who sends a customer to the competition is fired, the employer isn't barred from doing so based on The First Amendment. The employer may be open to civil action, though.
We like finding out what a shit Donald Sterling is, but let's not forget that his girlfriend is a shit, too. It's illegal to secretly record private conversations in California (it's a so-called 2-party state, where the person being recorded must also be aware of the recording).
I'm sure most of us are concerned about all the covert and less-than-obvious intrusions into privacy we're subjected to nowadays. Does this not include others secretly recording private conversations?
Sterling's racial attitudes were known long before this incident and the NBA is only acting on this incident because it became so public.
Yes, it's a footnote, but a crime may have been committed and like any crime should be investigated. Do you remember that, Linda Tripp, the woman who "outed" Monica Lewinsky was charged with making illegal surreptitious recordings of Monica Lewinsky?Lewinsky actually testified against her, but a judge decided that she (Lewinsky) wasn't a credible witness and the prosecution fizzled.
A lot comes down to whether we think this sort of covert recording and revealing of private conversations is something we way to let lay every time something good comes of the transgression.
Of course, if Stiviano can establish her side, the point is moot, and the government has to prove her defense wrong, as is their burden.
Here's is the full audio recording:
With a girlfriend like that Don Sterling has been punished enough. I think I'll send him a sympathy card.
The constitutional right to free speech only says the GOVERNMENT can't prevent you from speaking your mind or punish you for it. And even that has exceptions (try yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater).
It says nothing about your company firing you (as long as it is done legally), your friends ostracizing you, your customers deserting you or boycotting you, or any other socioeconomic repercussions.
And now it's looking like the Clippers are actually owned by a Trust. Question: How do you force a Trust to sell one of it's holding? Is it practical to try? How much will it cost? Who pays for it?
Mark Cuban said: "Slippery Slope" I think he's right.
The way to force the trust to sell the team is to threaten to make the team unprofitable as long as it owns it.
Aren't Trusts setup to prevent exactly that (the selling off of certain assets)?
I don't think this will stay in the news cycle for too long, I give it another 30 days before the public gets bored and moves on.
Am I missing something? The team is a franchise under the NBA umbrella, like the KFC in my town. If the owner(s) of the franchise breaks a serious enough corporate rule, they take away his franchise. Without the franchise it's just 5 guys standing around in shorts. They have nobody to play against and nowhere to play, because I imagine the arena's contract is with an NBA team which they would no longer be.
True, but if you can find the franchise agreement, we could see if there's a clause like that in there.
He's an attorney, and even if there is a clause to enforce, he could tie them up in court for the better part of a decade.
As Gregg said, it's hot news now, but it's gradually being crowded out by other events.

New Release! Finally Satisfied
Finally Satisfied is the third and final novella in the Satisfaction series.
25,000 words
Angel Kensington has never gotten over giving her baby up for adoption sixteen years ago. She's spent the time since then fighting panic attacks, hiding from her feelings, and isolating herself into a well-regimented existence. She has no room in her life for changes, complications, or men.
Mitch Turner presents a definite challenge for Angel. He's the wrong man for her, even if she wanted a man in her life. Why won't he just leave her alone?
Mitch has felt responsible for what his family did to Angel. They'd treated her like trash, left her to flounder with no hope of keeping her baby. He'd offered to marry her back then, but she'd not only turned him down flat, she'd avoided him ever since.
But now Cara and Gray are getting married and Angel is the maid of honor and Mitch is the best man. Angel can't avoid Mitch any longer, and she can no longer avoid facing her past. But are Mitch's feelings for Angel real, or are they just guilt over something he couldn't fix?

Almost Ready
Finally Satisfied is almost ready to upload. It's been sent out for editing and to a couple of beta readers, the cover is ready to go. All that's left is one final run through to correct errors, implement the changes the editor asks for, and get it formatted.
I'm almost sad to see this series end. I've enjoyed these characters and their ongoing relationships. I hope I still know how to write a full novel after this venture of writing three separate but intertwined stories.
Next up is another novella, this one a stand alone about a princess whose country is in turmoil and her family is in danger. Her father sends her to America under the protection of her long-time bodyguard. While he teaches her the basics of self-defense and evasion techniques, she teaches him that even a Princess can have an agenda.

New Review for Superstition
5 Stars By V. Parv (Australia)
The more I read of Tori Scott's work, the easier it is to understand her meteoric rise up the ebook bestseller lists. Too many indie publishers overlook the most important element - a well written and compelling story. Even a few typos can be forgiven when the story grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go till the end, as Superstition does. It's an engrossing read with so many red, white and blue herrings that you don't know who's on whose side. It doesn't help that Team Indigo members have powers to rival the X-Men. I was particularly pleased that their civilian counterparts have skills of their own and are not afraid to use them. No, "Captain, I'm frightened" ladies here. Instead it's all, "Wham, bam, call me ma'am." I confess to being an online friend of Ms. Scott's, although nothing in that precludes me from being a fan as well. One of a rapidly growing band.

Very thoughtful review for Blame it on Texas
Read with: iBooks for iPad
Length: Novel
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: Standalone
Publisher: Self-Published
Hero: Logan Tanner
Heroine: Megan Flynn
Sensuality: 3
Date of Publication: November 24, 2011
Started On: December 25, 2011
Finished On: December 26, 2011
Blame it on Texas by Tori Scott was a great read, one that I enjoyed immensely. I was subjected to a lot of emotion as I read this novel, one I am finding out that Tori Scott is quite adept at dishing out to her readers. Toe-curling sexiness together with a lot of heartwarming characters with a hint of a secondary romance to follow, Blame it on Texas is a novel I would recommend for fans who love romances that makes you feel like you are part of the journey of the hero and heroine's way towards happily ever after.
The fact that Logan Tanner hates going back to his hometown in West Texas is an understatement. The misplaced guilt Tanner feels about his mother's sudden death when he was just around 12 years old still haunts him which keeps him away from a land that has no mercy in Logan's eyes. A successful game designer and the father of a beautiful daughter whom he doesn't get to see enough of, Logan has a lot on his mind when he is summoned by his sister Carol to take care of their father after he has a debilitating stroke.
When Logan's daughter Katie turns up on the ranch's doorstep with Carol's friend Megan Flynn in tow, the feelings that courses through the rigidly controlled Logan is one that shocks him to his core. Divorce from a woman whose theatrics has soured him from commitment and relationships seems to have no place in his life when the sweet, courageous and sexy Megan steps into their lives. A connection that Logan doesn't want or need nevertheless forms between the two and Logan doesn't know whether to thank the Lord for sending her his way or to curse the fates because he has too many stuff to deal with at the moment.
Tragedy strikes, bringing out the best in each and everyone that is part of Logan's hometown and in the midst of it all, Logan finds that he is not strong enough to turn away from the warmth and affection that Megan seems to shine upon his life, a woman who seems to understand the very things that he wants and needs.
Megan has her own dreams which she yearns to fulfill with everything inside of her. A veterinary practice in a small town where she would feel a sense of belonging is all that she wants from life until Logan Tanner and his daughter Katie invades her heart throwing her into the chaotic realms of love.
The reason I enjoyed Blame it on Texas so much was that Tori Scott managed to mix up all the right ingredients to give me an engrossing tale that in the end has its own message to deliver. Logan who has lost his way because of his misplaced guilt goes through a lot of hurdles to reach a place where he is ready for a happily ever after, and I loved the angst his tortured nature lent to the story.
I loved Megan. For me, she was the best thing about the story. She has all those qualities that I love about a heroine and for me she was just the right person to bring Logan out of the darkness that seems to consume him until there is not even a flicker of light left in his life. I loved the family dynamics and the small town aspect of the story that lent the story a charm of its own.

Christmas Eve night is always filled with excitement and mystery and last night was no exception. When I was a kid, I remembered so well that I couldn't wait until Christmas morning and didn't want to go to bed. When I grew up, Mom confessed to me that I was so excited; she secretly gave me a couple of children aspirin or Benadryl, maybe both and that was the way the dogs were last night, they couldn't wait until morning.
We finally went to bed; the dogs cozied up on whatever bed they could get on, but they were mostly on mine. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep. When I drifted off, I was somewhere that I didn't recognize. Now, I'm sure it was a dream, but it seemed so real. I was in my favorite place; dogs surrounded me, everyone was happy, playful and it was sunny with lots of wind. I was in "my" heaven…
After picking up a ball that they brought me I gave it a few tosses, something seemed familiar to me! I've seen that dog before, but this was a dream. Time went on, and I saw several other dogs that appeared in and out of my dream that also seemed familiar.
My dad and I were best friends and very close, but after he had passed away, I would "see" him or so I thought. Dad usually wore a floppy hat when he walked like some older men, but his was unique. Many times I would be driving down the street near home and would see "Dad" and his hat, for a brief second I knew it was him, I just knew it was. When I got closer, it was someone else but oh how I wished it was. I knew it wasn't Dads hat because the hat he had on when he died is in my Hope Chest where I put it that very day. It's in a sealed plastic bag with "his" smell, something I don't ever want to forget.
As I ran and played with the dogs in the dream, they seemed so animated and playful. At one time, I even sat down in the grass and let them lick my face like I always do with mine at home, it's our special time. In the dream, we would explore the meadows and streams and some even jumped in the water getting me wet just like at home. As much as we would run and play, some kept looking at a dog in the far distance but always refocused their attention back to me because I had the ball. I paid little attention to the dog because I focused on the delightful companions that were with me.
After very little sleep, I awoke in a shudder. I remembered the dream and even smiled because it was peaceful and pure. I moved my hand and felt a warm spot on the bed with an indentation next to my head, but there were no dogs anywhere to be seen but what I couldn't get out of my head was a smell I recognized that filled my head.
Growing up, I was a very active little boy, doing all of the mischevious stuff but much more, much more. Fortunately, I got away with most of it and didn't cause too much damage. Two things directly take me back to my childhood, it was riding horses at my friend's farm and taking them into the lake to cool them off. It was incredible to ride them bareback into the water and be on them when they swam, but what takes me back to that very moment is I remember the smell of the water, I don't know why but it was fresh, clean and energizing. The second was when I would play in the front of the paneled milk delivery truck.
We would climb into the truck when they made deliveries to the house, and there was the smell of pipe smoke that was pleasant, and to this very day, if I smell that brand of tobacco now, I'm ten years old playing in that very milk truck with my best friend. Past studies have shown that memories triggered by smells are more vivid and more emotional than those triggered by sounds, pictures or words and I do believe it.
Each dog of mine has a unique smell, but none are the same, and I didn't know where "that" smell came from this morning. There was black hair on the bed, it was warm to the touch, but the smell was what stumped me, but I know I have smelled it before. The very morning Clancy passed away he crept into my bed, burrowing his nose under my arm and fell asleep. As I watched him breathe and rubbed his head, he slept peacefully and dreamed… and Christmas Eve night, he watched over me while I dreamed…
Christmas gifts come in many forms. To some, it is a baby that saved us. To others, it is seeing and connecting with family. Others it's stressful and depressing, to kids is presents and packages, but in the famous song "I'll be home for Christmas" the last line says, "If only in my dreams" is true... last night, I was home, and Clancy was too. I was in his world and he was again in mine.
As I look back on my dream, I remember it was our rescue dogs that I recognize, and it all came back to me. While I was in "my" heaven in the dream, I was really in theirs. Time had passed for them but it's not my time yet, but last night was so real, and in my heart, my Clancy Man watched over me on Christmas Eve waiting for his master to come home... Merry Christmas.

Oseltamivir Reduces Mortality in Patients Hospitalized with Influenza
By Luciana Borio, M.D., November 15, 2007
In a prospective, cohort study conducted by Allison McGeer and colleagues from the Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada, oseltamivir therapy administered to adult patients hospitalized with influenza decreased mortality by almost 80%. The study will be published in the December 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, currently available online.1
McGeer's study measured death within 15 days after onset of symptoms among patients with laboratory-confirmed influenza infection who were hospitalized between January 2005 and May 2006. Of 327 adult patients, median age 77 years, 75% had a chronic underlying illness, and approximately 71% had been vaccinated against influenza (vaccination data was available for 303 patients only). Sixteen percent required ICU admission, and 8.3% died within 15 days after onset of symptoms. Approximately 1/3 of patients received antiviral therapy. Patients who were prescribed amantadine were included in the arm that did not receive therapy, as the vast majority of viral isolates during the study period were resistant to amantadine.
Treatment with oseltamivir was associated with a reduction in risk of death by nearly 80% (odds ratio, 0.21; 95% confidence interval 0.06-0.80, P=.03). Antiviral therapy was not associated with a decreased hospital stay. The median length of stay for surviving patients who did not receive oseltamivir therapy was 6 days, and for those who received therapy, it was 8 days.
Previous trials have shown that neuraminidase inhibitor therapy administered to healthy adults up to 48 hours after the onset of symptoms is beneficial in reducing the severity and duration of illness, as well as the risk of complications associated with influenza. 2 In this trial, however, antiviral therapy benefitted older, sicker patients, even when administered after the "48 hour window." The authors speculate that in healthy adults with influenza, the virus is cleared promptly, obviating the benefit of therapy if given beyond 48 hours of symptom onset. However, in sicker individuals, viral replication might persist beyond the 48 hour window.
This study offers compelling evidence to support the use of antiviral therapy in patients hospitalized with influenza infections. Influenza testing is often done as a result of infection-control surveillance instead of clinical suspicion. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for influenza during the season as appropriate treatment clearly saves lives.

Mariachi music originated in Jalisco, Mexico. It is said it began in the town of Cocula. It is a version of theatrical orchestra, it includes violins, harp and guitars which developed in and around Jalisco. It began in the 19th century, and is still popular today.
The Violin is apart of a Mariachi ensemble, it is a string instrument. It is 4 stringed and the smallest, highest-pitched member of the string family. The purpose of the violin in mariachi music is to complement trumpet melodies.
The most important element of this style of playing to use the entire bow.
The Vihuela also plays a major role in a Mariachi ensemble. The Vihuela is an instrument that is basically two different guitars ring instruments. The one played in the Mariachi band is from the 19th century. It has 5 strings and originated from Mexico. There is another one from the 15th and 16th century, that one originated in Spain. That specific Vihuela typically had 12 strings.
The Guitarron is a very large, deep bodied Mexican 6- string acoustic bass. It is similar to the guitar developed from the 16th century. The Guitarron is typically played by doubling notes by octave. The Guitarron is used to keep the beat and other instruments together.
The trumpet is apart of the brass family, it has the highest register out of all the other instruments. It is played by blowing air threw closed lips. The trumpet replaced the cornet in the mariachi band, now there is usually two trumpets in a mariachi band. The trumpet combination in mariachi was popularized in the 1950s.
There are many characteristics to mariachi bands. The forms found in mariachi music are, the most important element of the style. Mariachi song forms (such as the bolero, canción ranchera, son, huapango, joropo, and danzón) are always the rhythmic patterns that are performed by the guitar section of the group. There is also singing involved in mariachi music. For example, the "grito mexicano", a yell that is done at musical interludes during a song, either by the musicians and the listening audience. Like of that would be the mariachi players singing "AY YA YAY YA!"

David, Jesse, Ro and I have been planning a Beach Trip to Pismo Beach since we purchased our motorcycles. David was the only one who had two confirmed models (Brittney and Chase) and I had two confirmed flakes, but didn't know until I arrived in Pismo and couldn't get ahold of either model.
The plan was to drive from Bakersfield to Pismo Beach early Saturday, shoot from 3 until Sunset, spend the night and head back in the morning. David asked Make-up Artist Ande to tag along and we would pay for fuel and food, in addition to images.
Dinosaur Caves, shooting location, at 5:00 and meet-up with David's other model, Chase. Thank god his models came through. Chase pulled up in her jeep and stepped out, "Whoa!!!" was the first thing that came to mind, she looks tall. In fact, Chase is 6'4" and thin.
Almost all shots are Natural Light, aside from the top image which was assisted by Roy. An SB-900 with 1/4 CTO gel shot thru an umbrella camera right. We shot for just under two hours switching between the two models and several outfits for chase.
Once it got darker and colder, we thanked Chase and headed to Splash Cafe for a dinner break. If you haven't eaten at Splash Cafe and ordered their Clam Chowder bread bowl, then you're missing out.
We wrapped up the evening photographing Brittney with Available Light. We White Balanced using "PRE" and that seemed to have done the trick. I really wanted more emotive images and Brittney completely understood. All images were shot with my 50mm, around 1250 ISO and f/2.0.
We headed back to Bakersfield around 9:30 AM on one of the windiest rides I'd ever want to do again, but that's a different story for my other blog.

The men, aged 23 and 24, were arrested on the island of Koh Samui close to the beach where the 21-year-old was last seen on 1 January.
They were flown to Bangkok on Monday where the DNA tests were carried out.
A post-mortem examination suggested the Reading University student from Cardiff was raped and beaten before her death.
The fishermen were arrested after police began to question fishermen whose boats were moored in the bay where Miss Horton's body was discovered a week ago.
A third year psychology student, Miss Horton was due to return home this week after a fortnight in Thailand.
She had been with friends on Lamai beach on 1 January, close to the bungalows they had rented, when she is said to have wandered away to wish her mother happy new year on her mobile phone.
Her body was discovered in the bay some 12 hours later.
Her travelling companion and university friend Ruth Adams said on Monday that Miss Horton's death had left a "huge void" in her life.
Miss Adams added: "My words cannot express the loss and devastation that I feel knowing I have lost my best friend."
The two men arrested in Thailand are expected to be formally charged with rape and murder at a local court in the next few days.
They have told police that they were drunk at the time and had been watching pornographic films.
Police Major Asawin Khawanmuang told reporters at police headquarters in Bangkok: "The suspects have admitted to raping and killing the British tourist, but we have brought them to Bangkok for DNA testing to be sure."
On Saturday a British couple who had found her mobile telephone on the sand returned to the island to assist the investigation.
The BBC's Kylie Morris said there had been government pressure on police to solve the case as quickly as possible.
"The island depends on the tourism trade - authorities were fearful of the impact the violent attack would have," she said.
On Friday, Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra called on investigators to find those responsible for her death as quickly as possible but also urged them to be prudent.
Miss Horton's body was flown back to the UK over the weekend and a second post mortem examination was due to be carried out by a Home Office pathologist in Cardiff on Monday.

Congratulations Tom! This is such wonderful news to read for those in Czech craving HOPE. I know when we first started searching online 3 years ago I couldn't find any HOPE. It was devastating. Since I'm a persistent advocate for my husband, I never gave up searching, researching and asking tons of questions to his Oncologist. I still do that today. Because of your blog, we just learned that he is MSS. He doesn't have wild kras. I guess you could say he's "Normal" except he has Stage IV CRC. As I mentioned in my last message to you, his CEA is climbing (because of growth) so now we're off to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance for hopefully a different treatment program with a possibility of clinical trial participation. It's our HOPE that these folks will finally slow down this growth for many more years to come. I made the Staff laugh already when I made his appointment this week by asking them if they couldn't just vacuum his "spots" out since they look like dust bunnies on the scan. If only it were that easy! We must cling to HOPE and trust that we are being lead down this road for a reason. There is something higher than all of us leading the way. We'll get through this next fork in the road with flying colors!
Jim wanted me to let you know that since he has been a "peddler" all of his life -we own a safety equipment company and he's our salesman – that he'll translate your blog for the peddlers in the world. I'm not sure if that includes some BS along the way but….
Enjoy the ride!

To begin, the adult patient may have family obligations and responsibilities that could possibly interfere with the treatment and coping associated with lung cancer. It is very important to recognize the dangers that can worsen your lung cancer conditions and dampen situations that lead to long-term destruction of health.
Staying Focused and Dividing Time Properly
Always abide by the recommendations given to you by the doctor. Abide with appointments and scheduled visits to the primary care physician and oncologist. Try not to change life in a way which would result in further exposure to lung cancer risk factors.
Stick to the plan! If anyone is having trouble adhering to lung cancer recommendations on his own, he should talk to his peers about it and invite them to discuss ways to deal with the lung cancer as an adult.
Sometimes it helps to ask others (especially other lung cancer patients) of how to plan your lifestyle as a newly diagnosed patient. Peers that have experienced the same help problems associated with lung cancer can be a very helpful source to find answers that would otherwise be difficult to find.
Take Precautions and Stay Away from Environmental Dangers
As an adult lung cancer patient, the first and foremost action one should take is to give up smoking in the event he or she is a chain smoker. This will in turn help to prevent lung cancer from spreading to children, spouses, and any other members of the household.
Remain away from environmental pollutants such as radon, asbestos, and other pollutants. These pollutants can be harmful and expose their effects later on in life. Effects that arise from certain cancer-causing chemicals may not surface until days, months, or even years later.
When at work, try to avoid gathering at places that are populated with heavy smokers. As an ex-smoker and now a lung cancer patient, a heavy smoker will often subconsciously lure others into smoking and try to figure out why a quitter suddenly let off the cigarettes.
The ideal approach when confronted with a cigarette would be to divert the conversation into another topic (other than smoking) and slowly ease the way out of the discussion.
Remember that a lunch break will eventually cost more than just the $5 dollar sandwich if one does not avoid environmental hazardous to his or her lung conditions. Lung cancer can be very taxing on the human body; therefore it is imperative that people realize and acknowledge the environmental dangers among them.

Tomatoes are my favorite food.
I eat them every single day in salads, on toasts, like apples, and I've even been known to (often) eat an entire jar of tomato sauce with a spoon & a smile.
You think it's sick? I think it's just right.
Anyway, with SO much tomato love, you can imagine my excitement when I encountered (devoured) this simply delicious bruschetta prepared by my friend S.
I've made this bruschetta a few times already because it's incredibly easy, such a crowd pleaser, and can be made several hours before your guests arrive.
This week, I'll be testing this recipe on G's parents, who are visiting us in Seoul.
No pressure.

Poetry – Issue 08 | February 2010
Two poems by Susanna Rich
Praying to St. Stephen's Hand
Can you feel his sure, tireless hand
amongst the leaves?
—From Sándor Csoóri's "Meghallod-e-még?"
I grasp my grief and non-belonging
like a nosegay of paper poppies to
enter this Budapest basilica, pass the velvet-
covered cordon chain, show my ticket to
The Sanctuary of St. Stephen's Hand.
They call it Szent Jobb—Holy Right,
Better—the left, beyond mouldering, with
Stephen's other parts, scattered, like memories,
almost a thousand years throughout Hungary—
ancient custom: dissect and bury the king over his
larger body—the land. Into the slot I slip a 100
forint coin—stainless steel ringing a brass core—
for my ration of illumination: an ossified fist lying
in a glass casket among gold acacia leaves—single
Christmas bulb dull. I'm too distracted by the guardian
in Roman collar (and my anticipation of the end of light)
to feel an awe to flatter myself, if momentarily, that I am home
with the Father—that he waits for me, that he might hold
the boy my father was, drifting on hillsides
espaliered with grapevines; and the girl who would
marry him, picking peaches into her apron. I am hungry,
here. On my knees. Cold. Always the import—west
of the Prime Meridian or east. Tongue dancing to
strains of someone else's music. I am the thief in diaspora—
camera around her neck, world web on her back.
Needing what? The claw of my father's hand lay
on the hospital sheet—gone was the ebony he hammered
of his thumbnails; gone, the fingers tying my laces.
What I have left: his reaching through my fingers, as if
through gloves, pressing them together, as if in prayer.

All Star Pro Wrestling from Squaresoft on PS2
View Back Of Case
View Screen Shots
Each wrestler makes a dramatic introduction complete with visual razzmatazz to get the adrenalin flowing pre-bout. Plenty of care and attention has been laden on the gameplay rather than just on each wrestler's persona making for a fluid grapple. Square's RPG eye for detail remains firmly intact with spots of blood remaining in the same place during the bout. And as innovatively as ever the controls are implemented by the analogue sticks making pulling off a special an achievement rather than a piece of cake adding much reward to a victory.

Assistant Professor in International Relations, Faculty of Social Sciences
I am an Assistant Professor in International Relations at the University of Nottingham specialising in insurgency, terrorism and British/EU foreign and defence policy. Prior to joining the University of Nottingham in September 2017 I was a Lecturer in Strategic Studies at the University of Portsmouth.
From 2010 to 2011 I was Deputy Head of the International Police Coordination Board in Kabul, Afghanistan; previously I served as a Strategy, Planning, Analysis and Reporting Officer at the EU Police Mission in Afghanistan. I have also worked as a Foreign Policy Fellow at FRIDE (Fundación para las Relaciones Internacionales y el Diálogo Exterior) in Madrid and at the Centre for European Reform in London.
I recently completed a book - Army of Tribes: British Army Cohesion, Deviancy and Murder in Northern Ireland - on the experiences of the British Army in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s, which was published by Liverpool University Press in 2018. I am also currently researching the effect of the UK's exit from the EU on the British-Irish security relationship. My most recent research has appeared in the Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth Studies, Prism, and the RUSI Journal.
In 2015, together with Dr Jonathan Marley of the Irish Defence Forces, I co-authored a report on the future of United Nations peacekeeping, Walking Point for Peace that was submitted by New York University's Center on International Cooperation to the United Nations High-Level Independent Panel on Peacekeeping Operations.
My research has been reported on by the Financial Times and the Economist, among other media. I am a regular media commentator on British foreign policy, military affairs and the EU. My media contributions include writing opinion articles for The Guardian, The Irish Times, El País and The New York Times. I have also appeared as an expert witness at the UK Houses of Parliament / the European Parliament and lectured at the Royal United Services Institute and at Chatham House.

My program focuses on five specialty areas. These are my areas of expertise because I have personally struggled with each one.
Emotional Eating
Emotional eating is a symptom, it's not the problem. Let's first define emotional eating. Emotional eating is mindlessly eating foods that don't support your desire for vibrant health. Logically, you know that desserts and potato chips won't support you on your journey of health, but you find yourself devouring three brownies or a large bag of potato chips. Read more.
Sugar Cravings
Are you constantly thinking about sugar and which sweet treat you can eat next? Do you want to make better choices but feel you lack the willpower? Here's some good news . . . cravings are logical and once you understand how they're created, you can begin to eat in a more empowering, health-promoting way. Read more.
Digestive Issues
Are you living with regular bloating, cramping, constipation, or diarrhea? Do you spend much of your day thinking about how your stomach feels? Do you have to adjust your social life to accommodate digestive upset? Often times we accept these symptoms and forget that they are solvable. Read more.
Weight Loss
Have you been on countless diets in your life and you're tired of the dieting roller coaster? Would you like to give up counting calories and points and just enjoy real food? Losing weight takes more than successful calorie counting. Read more.
Improving Metabolism
Have you struggled with your weight for many years? Do you find yourself telling people that you just have a slow metabolism? Do you feel like you can't eat enough to feel satisfied because your body just seems to gain weight? Do you feel like your body is different than everyone else's? Read more.
If you find your health challenges are outside of these areas, don't hesitate to email me to learn if we'd still be a good fit in working together. If we're not, I'll do my best to refer you to someone who may be able to help.

Oh Yes, There Will Be Weed
When it comes to plot details, producers of Mad Men are as tight lipped as an Olsen twin at an all-you-can-eat buffet. So, what happens in episode
two three? One phrase: "I'm Peggy Olson and I want to smoke marijuana."
Last night, due to a glitch with iTunes, the
second third episode of the show was briefly available for download for everyone who signed up for a season pass. One of our loyal readers snagged it and passed this along. Peggy actually utters that line. Awesome.
Our tipster sent over a brief (if not vague) recap: "The episode features some modernist poetry, fabulous lindy hop, Roger in blackface, a new substance of choice in the offices of Sterling Cooper, and Joan rocking out in French while on the accordion. There is also a strange subplot between Sally and her grandpa."
We get so excited when two of our favorite things come together. We're getting the gravity bong out of storage for this one.
Update: AMC issued a statement:
"The third episode of Mad Men's new season was made available prematurely to some iTunes Season Pass holders for a short time late last night. We urge those who received this episode in error to please refrain from spoiling plot lines out of respect to other 'Mad Men' fans who are looking forward to watching the story unfold."
Sorry. Too late! Looks like the cat's out of the (dime) bag.

From an "internet marketing specialist":
I was looking at websites under the keyword bra stores and came across your website http://kateharding.net. I see that you're not ranked on the first page of Google for a bra stores search.
I'm not sure if you're aware of why you're ranked this low but more importantly how easily correctable this is.
Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm ranked that low because this isn't a fucking bra store.
Our specialist continues:
P.S – If the tables were turned and somebody I didn't know came to me with a proposition, even one that was appealing, I would be hesitant because I would be wondering – what's the catch? What does this guy know that I don't.
But then I would think he does know something that I don't know. He does have thousands of high PR websites, he does have hundreds of thousands of pages indexed and ranking in Google Yahoo and MSN.
And here's something I know that you don't, buddy. I live with an actual Internet Marketing Specialist, who would very much like to see fuckwit spammers like you die a thousand deaths. I'm inclined to agree.

STALLIONS FC was among the top clubs in the United Football League (UFL).
But with the start of the Philippine Football League (PFL) this March and the fate of the UFL in limbo, the Ernie Nierras co-owned and coached club is aiming to maintain its reputation and this time on a higher level.
The fiery coach and also the main benefactor of the Malditas (National Ladies team) confirmed that the Stallions will definitely make Biñan Laguna as their home city and they will be known as the Stallions Laguna FC.
They are also now busy preparing for the inaugural season of the PFL and have started their pre-season training and tryouts yesterday at their Biñan Football stadium near the Biñan City Hall.
Nierras also revealed that he has 15 players in contract and he needs players to fill up the 22-man team before the tournament starts.
The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has not yet finalized how many foreign players are allowed to play for each club that is why he has not announced yet who are they are going to sign. The PFF will finalize this week how many foreign players will they allow to play in each club.
Nierras is one of the few persons in the country who have spent their fortunes for the love of the beautiful game. Ernie and his partner Filbert Alquiros, the owner of Giligans, have already spent millions of their own money since they took over the management of the Stallions FC few years ago.
They are now spending more. However, they might cut their personal expenses this year as they are in negotiations with a big company to be club sponsor.
Nierras admits that spending for a professional club in the PFL is like buying a brand new Ferrari every year. He predicts that the Stallions FC Laguna will spend more than P20 million for salaries alone this season.
With the home and away format, each club will spend more than P20 million for the 2017 season alone.
They have even created a company, FAENGP Inc. to manage the club. Alquiros is the Chairman while Nierras is the President.
Filbert Alquiros owns the Giligans chain of restaurants all over the country. It has 59 branches in Luzon, Metro Manila, Visayas and Mindanao and three more branches soon to open.
Nierras on the other hand is the founder and CEO of Cavite based technology firm Phythos Technology Philippines Inc.
Nierras also said that they are thankful for the Biñan LGU for the support and for allowing them to use the Biñan Football stadium. For this the Stallions FC Laguna is organizing the 1st Arman Dimaguila Mayor's Cup 7-Aside football tournament which will kick off on Jan 21-22 also at the Biñan Football stadium.
The tournament is for Boys U10 (2007 and younger), U13 (2004 and younger), U15 (2002 and younger), U17 (2000 and younger) for January 21, while on January 22 competitions will be in the Men's open, Women's open and Girls U12(2005 and younger), U14 (2003 and younger), U16 (2001 and younger).
