This post is so completely not-safe-for-work that I advise waiting til you get home, clearing the area of innocents, and then blinding yourself with Tabasco sauce before proceeding.
Did I mention this post is NSFW? And, like, super gross?
I notice you're still scrolling.
Last chance to turn back!
Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'm not usually one to bow to peer pressure, peeps, but this past week it seems all anyone is talking about are vagina cakes. Suddenly reporters are clamoring at my inbox again, demanding to know my "favorite vagina cake" and the best resuscitation techniques for scandalized mothers-in-law. Major websites are plundering Pinterest and posting as many strawberry-filled, chocolate sprinkles sprinkled hoo-haws as they can find, with captions like "EMPOWERING OR ICKY? ONE TODDLER FINDS OUT."
I blame myself.
And Stephen Fry.
So I've held out as long as I can, really, I have. But the time has come. Yes, the people want what the people want, and I am here to give it to those people.
Plus, these other vagina cakes everyone's posting? Puh-LEASE. Those things are NOTHING - NOTHING - compared to what I'm faced with on a daily basis.
So today, you guys get to feel my pain. Today the gloves - and the censor bars - come off.
The Top 9 Completely Not-Safe-For-Work, Thoroughly Traumatizing, (Sort of) Anatomically Correct and Most Horrendously Graphic Vagina Cakes Of All Time... SO FAR.
You've seen the rest. Now see the most horrifying.
I'll ease you in with a couple of nice, safe examples:
If you turn your head to the side, this next one could almost be that Beetlejuice shrunken-head guy shrugging while wearing a turtleneck:
You totally see it, don't you.
Now, the overhead view:
(Well, technically it's the "underbum" view, but let's not split lips hairs.)
Oh, and you'll soon learn to appreciate the lack of strawberry jam.
(By Laura of Mamma Jamma Cakes)
If you squint a little, you might be able to convince yourself this next one is just a demon baby enjoying a nice hot tub filled with bloody entrails:
Best not to dwell too long on the curly pig-tail thing, though.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure demon baby up there is the only homemade vagina cake on this list. Yep, professional bakers are downright PROUD of their crowning achievements, as evidenced by all the nicely photographed and watermarked variations popping up (and out):
Please, bakers. NO MORE HAND OUTS.
In fact, Jo Norton of Just JoJos was all too eager to tell me she was inspired by this very blog to make... [swallowing]...to make... [deep breath]... THIS:
That sound you just heard was me weep-gagging.
Also: I KNEW IT. I KNEW bakers were getting inspiration from the wrecks I post. [fist pump] HA!
[sitting back down]
Granted, this is a somewhat hollow victory...
I've been hanging on to this next cake for literally YEARS, figuring if I ever wanted to shut down the blog in a blaze of phallus-filled, amniotic fluid soaked glory, this was my surefire ticket out:
And yet, that dong-a-riffic, anatomically impossible horror fest up there STILL isn't the worst.
The worst is just SO worse, my friends, that I'm going to give you one more chance to walk away. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF STAYPUFT, WALK... AWAY.
You're still scrolling.
[sigh] Ok. Sorry.
(It's mostly made of marzipan. Does that help? No? Yeah, didn't think so.)
Rain down your curses and dry heaves upon Libbie A., Anony M., Brenna, Mary C., Mel M., Jo N., Allie C., and Heather B. for bringing us today's inspiration to skip lunch. And dinner. And all food for ever and all time.

Case #: 08-2XXX4XX6MM10A NO CONVICTION AS CHARGED
The Defendant drove his vehicle behind closed businesses located in Plantation, Florida. Fearing for the safety of those businesses, Officer Santy of the Plantation Police Department followed the Defendant. Upon coming into contact with the Defendant, the Defendant was standing by the driver's side of his vehicle changing his clothing. The Defendant had the odor of an alcoholic beverage, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and was acting with a sleepy and lethargic demeanor. The Defendant also appeared to be disoriented as to the time and his location and could not remember the name of the restaurant he was coming from. The Defendant was asked to do roadside sobriety exercises and performed poorly. The Defendant then submitted to the breath test, which registered .115/.109 g/210L on the intoxilyzer. The State dropped all DUI charges
"I just wanted to say thank you! Your firm not only got all my daughters charges dismissed, but there were no court costs or even driving school! She had definitely gotten herself into some trouble and I cannot believe the outcome was this good!! Thank you again! I will recommend you to anyone that asks. I don't know if there are any website for reviews on law firms, but if there is let me know so I can say how excellent your firm is." Yelp User - "As a young college student, being charged with a DUI was one of the scariest things I have had to deal with. The Ticket Clinic was able to get my case together quickly and get me the best deal I could have asked for. The DUI charges were dropped. The Ticket Clinic was able to put me at ease during one of the hardest times of my life." Sinead - "The Ticket Clinic was professional and in constant contact with me from the first phone called, until the case was closed. To make a long story short, I was not convicted of a DUI - since then, I referred a friend to the Ticket Clinic." Richard - "I was faced with a DUI. Most people fear jail, but I heard that it would ruin my record for life. This can cost you a job, credit, relationships. The more we are an online world the more your record is available to the public - a DUI stays forever. The Ticket Clinic didn't settle, but successfully defended my DUI case. They are the only ones I would trust confidently with a serious matter." Dave - "I was face with an unjust DUI and called The Ticket Clinic to represent me. I was never faced with such a serious situation before. TTC's professionalism, confidence and knowledge put me at ease, knowing I was in good hands. As I went through this ordeal, TTC was on top of everything and brought this to closure quite quickly. TTC has also helped me find a lawyer in another state for a friend in a similar situation. I highly recommend The Ticket Clinic!" Scott - "I was facing a DUI charge but TTC got my charges dismissed, even though I submitted to a breath test! I would recommend them to anyone facing a DUI. Thank you again for everything." Kiersen - "I was pleased to receive your letter of February 21, 2017 advising me that all charges against me were dismissed by the Court. I am very pleased how the Ticket Clinic handled my case. I definitely will recommend the Ticket Clinic to friends and neighbors should they be issued a traffic ticket. Many thanks again for solving my problem." Wolfgang H. - "In a world where people always seem to want to register complaints, I thought I would take a moment and register my extreme satisfaction with your company and especially for Miss T! She is extremely helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable and she is a pleasure to do business with!" Jeff M. - "Great Job!!!!! Keep up the great work.We are extremely impressed with your performance. :)" Lionel O. -

A mom in North Carolina was understandably upset after she says her 9-year-old son's school called her to say he was getting a two-day suspension for sexual harassment after telling a friend he thought a teacher was "cute."
The allegation has caused a firestorm of controversy with the media debating if the punishment fits the crime and what exactly sexual harassment entails.
Now, the boy's mother, Chiquita Lockett, says that's not all he's being accused of.
In a certified letter sent to her after she was notified by phone of the suspension a more detailed account of what the school alleges her son, Emanyea Lockett, said has emerged. The school claims, among other things that the boy made suggestive comments, calling the substitute teacher "fine" and that he continued to call other students the 'n-word' after school officials warned him not to, according to WSOCTV.
"What's in that letter, if they accused him of that, I should have been notified about it, and if so then I would have seen that a suspension should have taken place," Lockett told the news station.
Her son Emanyea claims he never used bad language about other students and that his only comment about the teacher was that she was "cute." A simple comment such as that does not amount to a sexual harassment case, his mother points out.
The school district has declined to comment on the case citing privacy concerns and said they are conducting an investigation.
The incident comes shortly after a first-grader in Boston is being investigated for sexual harassment after he struck another boy in the groin during an altercation on a school bus. His mother, Tasha Lynch, told the Boston Globe he was just defending himself from a bully.

Finding Support
Support From People You Trust
Having support from friends and/or family members that you trust can help you heal from the trauma of a sexual assault.
Talking about the assault and its impact with people who are supportive and understanding can relieve some of the control it has over you and help you begin the process of recovery. You will also feel less alone.
Friends and/or family members who are supportive can also help you find the information and resources you may need after a sexual assault. They can also accompany you when you seek services, such as medical care or legal assistance.
It can be especially helpful to talk with a trained counselor or a therapist who is knowledgeable about the trauma of rape and knows how to assist victims. Many sexual assault victims find that therapy is an empowering experience.
Therapy provides a safe, private place where you can deal with your feelings and reactions. A person trained to assist sexual assault victims will understand the unique concerns you have and know ways to help you cope with the physical and emotional effects of the assault. A counselor can also help you deal with the reactions of family members and friends.
Some sexual assault victims feel that if they avoid talking about the assault, they will be able to forget about what happened to them. Most victims who try this approach eventually find that they need to deal with the assault and its aftermath. If they don't, their unresolved feelings and fears hold them back from enjoying their lives and participating fully in relationships.

Nintendo's Wii U will launch with 23 games, the company announced yesterday.
Nintendo, of course, will be leading the charge with four titles on store shelves the day its console launches on November 18. Chief among those titles is New Super Mario Bros. U, the latest installment in that franchise's long and storied history. Nintendo's Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, Nintendo Land, and Sing Party will also launch on November 18.
The Wii U will also get support from several third-party publishers, like Activision, which will offer four titles on launch day, including Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Electronic Arts will offer up FIFA Soccer 13 on launch day, and Sega will launch Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
Nintendo earlier this month announced that a basic Wii U setup, featuring 8GB of memory, the console, and the Wii U Gamepad, will cost $299.99. A Deluxe set including all of that plus more memory, Nintendo Land, and a charging pad, will sell for $349.99.
At the event announcing the Wii U's pricing, Nintendo declined to announce any launch-day titles. Instead, the company said that it will have 50 titles available between November 18 and the end of March 2013.
In yesterday's announcement, Nintendo listed over 50 games that will either launch on November 18 or fit into the launch window -- defined by the company as ending March 31.

Also, F.E.A.R. 2 does a nice job of changing up the locations within which you'll fight. This is also a vast improvement over the original, which kept you cornered in facilities like a rat in a maze. Starting off in familiar indoor confines, F.E.A.R. 2 will soon progress to some excellent outdoor urban wastelands and a subterranean complex that will test your FPS ability. Because of the varied environments, I never found myself bored or disinterested with the title. Fighting in buildings was fun because I had to deal with tight corridors, bad lighting, columns, locked and barricaded doors, etc. While fighting outside allowed me to take advantage of the environment and foment chaos in a bombed out urban setting - which frequently made for some stunning visuals.
In fact, visuals are another one of the game's strong points. The world seems realistic and lived-in, blood flows like wine, and weapon fire looks great. All the battles are frantic and chaotic, but the game rarely seemed to chug along - I loved just how smooth the game plays. Best of all was just how awesome the supernatural effects are. They do a great job of setting the tone of the story. Lighting is phenomenal, the warping of the screen and the static interference when Alma is present is quite creepy, and the ethereal Specters are some of the best ghosts ever portrayed in a video game.
However, slightly marring the graphics is a somewhat fuzzy and grainy filter. I would have liked to have seen far sharper visuals. If you have a true gaming PC, some of the visual hiccups will be smoothed over. Also, while animations and physics seem to be pretty darn good, enemies often fall to the ground in unrealistic ways. Many times I was jerked out of gaming zen by a Replica who somehow stayed perched on their knees after taking several lethal headshots. The death animations definitely could have used some work. These complaints are minor though, and all in all the game looks solid.
This is also true of the sounds in F.E.A.R. 2. The purposefully disjointed musical themes really work by staying unpredictable. Also, the sound effects are very eerie. It is easy to get sucked into believing what you're seeing because the sounds are there to truly enhance the experience. Finally, the voice over work, while professional, doesn't quite hit the mark. All in all, the actors did a nice job of portraying the dialogue, but occasionally a shiver of embarrassment rippled through me during the delivery.
Perhaps the weakest part of F.E.A.R. 2 is its multiplayer offering. There are six modes of play that encompass classic game types such as Deathmatch, CTF, and strategic point control. Also, players can try their skill at defusing and setting bombs or even battling it out in an EPA mech suit. Unfortunately, the later suffers from the fact there is only one suit per side, which means it struggles with some serious second fiddle issues. Eventually, players will be able to buy new weapons and change and customize their load-outs, including primary, secondary, and armor type. The multiplayer mode is by no means broken or even dull, it just isn't nearly as compelling as the single-player campaign, and it can't hold a candle to the other top shooters out there.
As you can see, F.E.A.R. 2 is a very competent and enjoyable game. As a shooter, I was very impressed with the title. Unfortunately, I never really felt the fear that gave the game its moniker. Certainly the game is disturbing, but it is definitely not frightening. I think it's because there is so much action going on all the time that players actually become numb to the scare factor. As such, you'll want to pick up F.E.A.R. 2 because it is an outstanding FPS with a great ambience, not because it is a horror title that implements shooter mechanics. This is perhaps the biggest complaint I can muster for this title. Even still, I found the single-player compelling enough to recommend its purchase to anyone who likes to blow stuff up with a sense of purpose!

Hairstylist Cervando did Kirsten's hair.
Get the Look: "I started by putting Kerastase Volumactive Mousse and Oscar Blandi Volumizer in wet hair. Then I finger waved the front of the hair pinning the waves in place . Then I dried the hair with a diffuser, and after the hair was dry I sectioned off the front of the hair from the ear forwar, and left it out. I then continued by taking the back sectionof the hair and rolling it up using bobby pins to create a bob like shape. After that I pinned the front of the hair into the back of the hair to finish off the bob. I used Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray at the end to finish and hold the style for the night this adds shine and great hold!"

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Monday offered blunt commentary about former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and past and present US Treasury secretaries.
Mr. Gingrich, a one-man idea factory for the Republican Party, was the guest at a Monitor-sponsored breakfast with reporters. He arrived in multitasking mode, emerging from a shiny black Cadillac SUV, holding a cellphone to one ear and thumbing the controls of a BlackBerry held in his other hand.
Blago: the tip of a corruption iceberg
Rod Blagojevich was one stop on Gingrich's tour of the political horizon. Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor impeached last week in part for apparent efforts to sell Barack Obama's US Senate seat, "is simply the tip of an iceberg of systemic corruption across this country that is breathtaking," Gingrich said. "You look at Springfield, you look at Albany, N.Y., you look at Trenton, [N.J.]. You look at Sacramento, [Calif.]. These places are increasingly corrupt," he said.
Gingrich also argued that President Obama was ill-advised to take on conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. The president told congressional leaders of both parties that "you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done." In the former speaker's view, "presidents are well served to deal with historic patterns because it makes them feel presidential. I can't imagine the net advantage of the newly elected president of the United States – with 70 percent approval – picking a fight with a guy who will absolutely profit from the fight."
Palin: Formidable if prepared
Alaska's Governor Palin, John McCain's running mate in 2008, could be "very formidable" as a presidential candidate in 2012, Gingrich said. But he stipulated that would be the case only if she "seeks out a group of sophisticated policy advisers" and "spends time developing a series of fairly sophisticated positions." He noted that "Palin starts in Iowa with a substantial advantage. I think she has a very big base among the fundamentalist wing of the party."
He also mentioned two other potential Republican presidential candidates. "If the economy is still a mess a year from now, then [former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt] Romney's economic credentials start to come back in an important way," Gingrich said. He cautioned that "Romney has got to figure out how to close the sale."
And if Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison becomes governor of Texas, the second largest state, "she is an instantly formidable candidate," Gingrich said.
Federal stimulus: sending dollars to China through Wal-Mart
It will take the United States three to five years to work its way out of the current economic crisis, in Gingrich's view. Government economic stimulus is "a quaint term for sending money to China through Wal-Mart," he quipped.
Government bailouts of banks and auto companies came in for stinging criticism.
"What I deeply resent is the idea that you have the same people in charge that failed. You can't have capitalism on the way up and socialism on the way down. The same thing is true of General Motors and Chrysler and Ford," Gingrich said. "We would be much better off to say to people, 'we will give you bridge loans coming out of bankruptcy. But we are not going to deal with current management, and we are not going to deal with the current labor contracts, and we are not going to allow you to continue lying about the future.' "
Unhappy with Treasury secretaries from both parties
Bush administration Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and the current secretary, Timothy Geithner, both received caustic treatment. "I think Geithner is fronting for the banks. Frankly, that is where I thought Paulson ended up. Paulson ended up being a Wall Street dealmaker who was happy to take your money to bail out Wall Street dealmakers," Gingrich said.
The former speaker juggles a raft of positions including chairman of the Gingrich Group, a communications and consulting firm; general chairman of a nonpartisan advocacy group called American Solutions for Winning the Future; senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute; distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University; and political analyst for Fox News.
Just reading the list makes me tired.

Schools Get Taste of Own Medicine
States Assign A to F Grades Based on Test Results, Other Factors; Some Parents, Administrators Are Shocked by Poor Scores
Schools long have graded students. Now they are being graded themselves, as a growing number of states assign them A-to-F scores to evaluate their performance.
The results can be surprising. Eliot Elementary School in Tulsa, Okla., has been well-regarded by parents for years, in part for its high scores on state achievement exams. The school draws young families moving into the historic Brookside neighborhood that surrounds it.

Brisbane's Story Bridge opened for operation on July 6, 1940. This date came five years after construction commenced and fourteen years after initial recommendations for a river crossing in the Kangaroo Point vicinity.
Essentially, the Story Bridge was one of the then governments' three major public works projects, creating years of employment for many men during the Great Depression. The Story Bridge is the largest steel bridge designed, fabricated and constructed in Australia by Australians.
The Story Bridge took five years to construct, one year longer than planned. Queenslander, Dr John Bradfield was Consulting Engineer. His design team prepared 600 working drawings.
Currently the bridge is repainted every seven years using 17500 litres of paint. There is approximately 105000 square metres of painted steel surfaces.

Faster Is Better ...Most All The Time
While it's fundamental to consider that power delivered to an engine's crankshaft is not continuous, it's worthwhile to examine how impulses and their timing can affect net power. Stated another way, particularly since spark ignition timing is typically provided before pistons reach their TDC compression stroke position, not all cylinder pressure is exerted during the direction of crankshaft rotation that produces useful torque. Some of it is negative, and the idea is to reduce the time during which this condition exists. Bottom line, combustion flame rate of travel is at the core of this issue. So let's discuss some of the more salient aspects of the process.
From a practical and engine builder's perspective, among the combustion variables involved, uniformity of, and conditions for improving mixture density and air/fuel charge quality are factors that can be materially influenced to improve both on-track fuel economy and overall power. Not surprisingly, they all can be linked. For example, by creating inlet flow path characteristics and overall combustion space surfaces conducive to aiding fuel suspension, working to improve fuel atomization and helping reduce the amount of unburned fuel passing into and out of an engine's cylinders can combine to produce beneficial results.
We know that burn rates increase when air/fuel charges trend toward air-rich conditions (leaner mixtures). Since fuel-rich mixtures require more time for combustion, leaner air/fuel charges involve less time and become effectively "faster" in the process. By the addition of controlled turbulence (or other forms of mixture motion), it's possible to move toward leaner mixtures and a faster and more efficient overall combustion cycle. Of course, the smaller the combustion surface-to-volume (s-to-v) ratio, the less heat is lost to exposed surfaces and coolants. The net effect is increased heat converted into useable work at the crankshaft. Small combustion chambers and flat or near-flat piston crowns help contribute to keeping combustion s-to-v ratios low.
However, it's possible to over-do this concept if it turns out combustion volumes are sufficiently small, relative to the total combustion surface or mixture motion becomes too aggressive. The result trends toward an increase in non-participating portions of fuel that then pass directly out of the combustion space unburned, due largely to surfaces at sufficiently low temperature to prevent this fuel from burning or fuel that has mechanically separated from the air. One practical approach is as previously stated–small chambers and flat or near-flat piston crowns and non-linear flow paths that don't upset mixture homogeneity.
Dating back to the days of Sir Harry Ricardo's "High Ratio Compact" chamber and then to around the late 1970s with Michael May's "Fireball" high-turbulence design, creating specific mixture motion patterns in the presence of low combustion s-to-v ratio environments has enabled so-called "fast burn" engines to develop high specific power and efficiency levels. Circle track engine builders have long understood that by whatever means they could create similar conditions, on-track throttle response and off-the-corner torque were verifiable results. However, aside from improvements in fuel efficiency and higher cylinder pressure, we need to review how a fast-burn condition can penalize power if not accompanied by consideration of other engine characteristics, notably spark ignition timing.
Because circle track (and other) engines must provide power over a range of rpm, particularly at higher speeds, it becomes necessary to initiate spark in advance of TDC piston position. By correctly viewing controlled combustion as a process and not an event, you'll understand it requires a period of time. Consequently, spark timing is "advanced" to compensate for the time that's not available for combustion over a span of engine speeds. Very simply stated, you might call it a "Kentucky windage" approach allowing for a natural delay in the combustion event. However, the more timing advance that's applied, the greater the "negative" torque applied to the crankshaft before TDC on the compression stroke. It's this counter-rotational force that contributes to a net reduction in positive torque. Speed up the burn and less spark advance is required, all else being equal. So by mere acceleration of the combustion process, less work is lost trying to rotate a crankshaft in the wrong direction.
Technically speaking, we're dealing with an engine's IMEP (indicated mean effective pressure) characteristics. As derived from a P-V (pressure-volume) diagram, this condition can be determined by computing the quantity of work done on a piston per the piston's swept volume. In more general terms, it's an "average" of the work done before and after TDC piston position on the power stroke. Even more simply stated, IMEP increases as pre-TDC pressure is reduced, and that's a desirable objective. By whatever means, if the combustion process is made more rapid, less spark advance is required and IMEP can be increased by the reduction of pre-TDC force on a piston. Engines built in this fashion tend to exhibit sharper throttle response, especially under load, a partial result from having reduced negative torque on the crankshaft.
So, as an engine builder, how do we achieve these benefits? The ways are multiple, but you may want to consider some of the following. First, doing what you can to enhance fuel atomization is helpful. Even in the best of circumstances, certainly by comparison to fuel injection "spray" efficiencies, carburetors don't do a good job of creating finely atomized particles of fuel. Atomizing a solid stream of fuel by the "shearing" action of air moving through a low-pressure region is problematic at best, but good booster efficiency and downstream flow surface roughness in the intake track can help.
Making certain you've optimized flow pressure distribution patterns and extremes in pressure conditions (aided by wet-flow studies) can also provide improved fuel atomization. Remember, we're attempting to achieve and then allow the transportation of well-mixed air/fuel charges all the way into the combustion space while minimizing both fuel/air separation and increased fuel particle size. Homogeneity from carburetor throughout the "burn" is key.
You can also address the problem by creating certain "mixture motion" patterns, not unlike those referenced at the beginning of this column. Whether it's so-called swirl, tumble, or some combination thereof, it's important not to allow such processes to centrifuge fuel out of suspension with air. Deviation from linear flow conditions can also reduce net flow, so a balance between enhancing air/fuel charge conditioning and causing reductions in net volumetric efficiency is necessary.
Further, despite some opinions to the contrary, experience has shown there are benefits from "reading" combustion surfaces and skillful pressure mapping of velocity profiles by way of Pitot tube measurements. Analyzing post-combustion patterns can point to areas of high or low (rich or lean) fuel conditions that existed during the burn. Proponents of wet-flow analysis also have reasons to believe their methods are helpful. But regardless of how you may attempt to determine and tailor beneficial flow dynamics on the inlet side of an engine, in reality we're dealing with unsteady, interrupted flow that create conditions you can't precisely duplicate on a flow bench, dry or wet.
Finally, let's wrap up this discussion with some summary comments. As previously mentioned, high levels of atomization efficiency during combustion contribute to a rapid burn. The faster the combustion process (in a controlled fashion that excludes both pre-ignition and detonation), the later it can be begun. By creating an environment that allows maximum combustion pressure with less spark timing, torque applied on the piston's down-stroke is increased, accordingly. This condition can be created without any attending changes to air/fuel charge ratio, valve timing, or mechanical compression ratio … although each of these can be "adjusted" to enhance the results of a faster burn. And in most cases, especially during engine dyno testing, you'll discover a side benefit of this approach is lower b.s.f.c. without a corresponding reduction in power. All else being equal, that can translate into quicker lap times.

Kory Boyd, Randall Hild, and Aage Giessing were snowmobiling in Wasatch County backcountry when a massive snow storm approached. They quickly realized they needed to get moving.
As the snow came in and day shifted to night Thursday, the men tried to make it to safety on their own, but the situation quickly became dangerous. After hours of being trapped in the snow and enduring bitterly cold temperatures the men began to show early signs of frostbite. Eventually they found shelter under some trees and built a fire. There was no cell phone service and little food. But the men did have something that would ultimately save their lives – a SPOT Satellite Tracker, thrown into a pack at the last minute.
Two Canadian hikers were found on Mt. Lafayette after one of them activated his SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. New Hampshire Fish and Game Department officials rescued the two hikers, after they ran into severe conditions on the mountain. "The only information that led us to starting the search was that we had this personal locator beacon signal activated," said Capt. John Wimsatt. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be searching."

John Chepulis, 65, is in critical condition after an injury caused him 10 broken bones and a punctured lung. Fortunately for John his friends had a SPOT Satellite GPS MessengerTM . Once the SPOT's emergency alert was activated a helicopter arrived at the GPS coordinates air lifted John to safety.

Obama Tempers Insurance Pledge as Health Fight Rages
President Says Those Who Lose Coverage Can Shop Around, Modulating a Longtime Promise
President Barack Obama on Wednesday said Americans who are losing insurance under the health law would find better coverage, rebutting a rising chorus of complaints that he had oversold the law's benefits.
With Republican criticism in Congress intensifying over canceled policies and the new online insurance marketplaces malfunctioning, Mr. Obama used a speech in Boston to tell Americans that they could obtain improved insurance if they shopped around. This comes after the president has long said that people who like their...

The documentary series, titled My Crazy Beautiful Life, follows Ke$ha over a two year period as she records her new disc Warrior, travels the globe and tries to keep a handle on both her personal and professional lives.
MTV is promoting the documentary series, premiering this April, as a no-holds barred look into Ke$ha's life, with those closest to her, including her brother Lagan Sebert and family friend Steven Greenstreet, acting as directors for the doc.
"You might have heard my voice on the radio, seen me onstage or in a music video, but that's only a part of the story," Ke$ha told MTV News. "With this documentary series I'm revealing a more complete picture of what my life is really like. It's not all glamorous but it's all real."
Check out a sneak peek of Ke$ha's My Crazy Beautiful Life below, which is set to air on MTV Canada this April.

Nokia N97 mini Latin America Pictures
N97 mini is a more compact alternative to the N97. As a whole, the device is the same (you still get the tilting mechanism of the display), only a bit smaller. There are some cosmetic changes to the design though, with the most significant one seemingly being the lack of both a D-pad on the keyboard and a sliding camera cover.

In a disgustingly bad game to watch, the Knicks lost to the Suns 91-88. Chandler, Fields and Shumpert were good tonight. Everyone else sucked.
Here are some notes from the game:
- The Knicks need to stop switching on defense. Phoenix had an advantage offensively all night due to the constant Knick defenders switching on picks. Robin Lopez would have had 30 tonight if he didn't fucking suck. There was a stretch in the game where he was posted up on a guard about 6 times and he only scored once. Nash was often guarded by Tyson Chandler and Josh Harrellson on the perimeter. I don't know what Woodson is doing with this defense. They have played better and the defense hasn't been the problem so far but this defense could be so much better without the switches. There is no reason why the Knicks must always switch a big man onto a point guard. In emergency situations, the switch is acceptable but this team does it on every single screen. The defense was adequate tonight but the switches really did hurt the Knicks.
- Stoudemire's jump shot is still ice cold. I thought that tonight could be a turning point for Stoudemire's season. I thought he would come out guns blazing and play lights out. I was wrong. Sort of. He was better tonight then he has been, scoring 23 points on 7/22 shooting, but his jump shot was still off. He did improve at finishing at the rim tonight but he got nothing from his perimeter game. His mid-range game is nonexistent right now and it hurts his game. Defenders are sagging off Stoudemire thus hurting his ability to drive to the rim. As a result to the cushion being given by defenders, Stoudemire picked up 2 bad offensive charges tonight.
- Melo was awful tonight. I don't know if it was the wrist injury or the personal matter that kept him from speaking to the media post game but Melo was dreadful tonight. He finished the game 5/22 with 12 points. While he did hit a big 3 late in the game, his head was just not in the game tonight. I don't know if he was cold or if it was the personal matter but he was a non-factor tonight. While Stoudemire did not play well, I think the Knicks got enough production from him to win. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Anthony. The Knick star missed two big layups in the game that would have been big baskets in a close game. Obviously this will not be the norm for Anthony but his poor game really hurt the Knicks tonight.
- Landry Fields came alive tonight. The beleaguered second year shooting guard from Stanford finally showed flashes of being the productive rookie Knick fans came to love last season. Fields put in 17 points on 6/12 shooting. While he was scoreless from downtown, Fields' nifty offensive game kept the Knicks afloat in the second half. Defensively I thought he was solid and he picked up 6 rebounds. Fields must continue to string solid games together and help this team get back on track.
- Iman Shumpert played a phenomenal game tonight. Despite his air ball at the end of the game, Shumpert played one of his best games as a Knick. He held his own against Steve Nash and played a great offensive game. More impressive than his 20 points on 8/14 shooting were his 4 steals. His energy was great as always and he hit some clutch shots down the stretch. It was a very nice game by Shumpert further solidifying his starting spot on the team.
- Amar'e had a great transition block tonight only to lead by a missed three by Fields. I thought that sequence would have been a momentum changing play but the Knicks were unable to finish it off with a basket.
- Douglas regressed from last game which did not help anything. The Knicks got a whopping 7 points out of their bench tonight.
- Steve Novak saw no minutes again tonight. I think that is a mistake. For a team that cannot shoot 3's to save its life, I think Novak could give the Knicks 2-3 key baskets a game coming off the bench.
- Chandler was a beast once again with 17 rebounds. His defense really was good tonight. He probably would have had 20 rebounds if he wasn't guarding Nash out at the 3 point line for a lot of the game…
- Shannon Brown had 14 points for Phoenix. That sums up what kind of game it was.

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
$ dpconf create-ldap-data-source -h host -p port [-s] source-name host:port
In this command, source-name is a name that you assign to the new data source. host and port refer to the host and port on which the LDAP server is running. Note that the data source does not use SSL by default. Use -s to enable to specify a secure port.
If the host is specified by an IP V6 address, you need to use the IP V6 reference when you create the data source. For example, if Directory Proxy Server will bind to a host with the IP V6 address fe80::209:3dff:fe00:8c93 on port 2389, use the following command to create the data source:
$ dpconf create-ldap-data-source -h host1 -p 1389 ipv6-host \ [fe80::209:3dff:fe00:8c93]:2389
If you use the console to create the data source, you must specify the actual IP V6 address (without the square brackets).

$460 billion shadow inventory will take 40 months to clear: S&P
The high pace of residential mortgage defaults has flooded the shadow inventory market with $460 billion in outstanding principal balance, according to Standard & Poor's second-quarter report on housing liquidation timelines. This vast bucket of homes more than 90-days delinquent, in foreclosure, or REO represent one-third of the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities market and will negatively pressure housing prices until the backlog clears in more than three years' time. "Our estimate for the months to clear the shadow inventory for the U.S. as a whole increased about 18% between [the fourth quarter] and the end of [the second quarter]," according to Diana Westerback, S&P global surveillance analyst. The shadow inventory estimate is increasing as the rate of liquidation is decreasing. Monthly cure/modification rates increased by almost 25% in the last two quarters (chart below): The shadow inventory is largest in Los Angeles with an outstanding original balance of $182.8 billion. New York follows with $122.1 billion, and then San Francisco with $82.3 billion. In the top 20 MSAs, Cleveland, Charlotte and Portland have the lowest amount of shadow inventory outstanding balance.

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
Using Azure AD Graph API directory extensions in a PHP web app
Directory extensions enables application developers to extend the directory and develop richer applications without worrying about the limitations imposed by an external store. This preview provides REST interfaces for an application to register, unregister, enumerate, read, write, and filter by extension values. Applications that register extensions in the directory and are referenced from all the tenants consenting to that Application. Once a customer tenant has consented to an Application (even for read) the extensions registered on that Application are available in the consenting tenant for reading/writing by any Application that has the appropriate access. If the app developer wants to add more extension attributes, she can update her Application (in her developer tenant) and any tenants that are currently consented to this Application will instantly be enabled for the new attributes. If consent is removed, if the extension is deleted, or if the Application is deleted, the extension values will no longer be accessible on the corresponding directory objects.
Types and Limitations
Currently "User", "Group", "TenantDetail", "Device", "Application" and "ServicePrincipal" entities can be extended with "String" type or "Binary" type single-valued attributes. String type extensions can have maximum of 256 characters and binary extensions are limited to 256 bytes. 100 extension values (across ALL types and ALL applications) can be written to any single object. Directory extensions are available only in Graph api-version 1.21-preview.
Registering an Extension
Let's walk through an example. Contoso has built an OrgChart application and wants to allow users to make Skype calls from it. AAD does not expose a SkypeID user property. The OrgChart developer could use a separate store such as SQL Azure to store a record for each user's SkypeID. Instead, the developer registers a String extension on the User object in his tenant. He does this by creating an "extensionProperty" on the Application using Graph API.
POST https://graph.windows.net/contoso.com/applications/<applicationObjectID>/extensionProperties?api-version=1.21-preview
"name": "skypeId",
"dataType": "String",
"targetObjects": ["User"]
If the operation is successful, it will return 201 along with the fully qualified extension property name to be used for updating the intended types.
201 Created
"objectId": "5ea3a29b-8efd-46bf-9dc7-f226e839d146",
"objectType": "ExtensionProperty",
"name": "extension_d8dde29f1095422e91537a6cb22a2f74_skypeId",
"dataType": "String",
"targetObjects": ["User"]
Viewing Extensions Registered by your Application
You can view extensions registered by your application by issuing a GET of the extension properties of the application. This will provide object ID, data type, and target objects for each extension registered by the application.
GET https://graph.windows.net/contoso.com/applications/<applicationObjectID>/extensionProperties?api-version=1.21-preview
Unregistering an Extension
You can unregister an extension registered by your application by issuing a DELETE of the extension object ID as follows:
DELETE https://graph.windows.net/contoso.com/applications/<applicationObjectID>/extensionProperties/<extensionObjectID>?api-version=1.21-preview
Writing Extension Values
Once this application is consented by the admin, any user in the tenant can be updated to include this new property. For example,
PATCH https://firstname.lastname@example.com?api-version=1.21-preview
"extension_d8dde29f1095422e91537a6cb22a2f74_skypeId": "joe.smith"
The server will return a 204 if user was successfully updated. The extension value can be removed by sending the same PATCH request with "null" value.
PATCH https://email@example.com?api-version=1.21-preview
"extension_d8dde29f1095422e91537a6cb22a2f74_skypeId": null
Reading Extension Values
When directory objects are retrieved, they automatically include the extension values. For example:
GET https://firstname.lastname@example.com?api-version=1.21-preview
"objectId": "ff7cd54a-84e8-4b48-ac5a-21abdbaef321",
"displayName": "Joe Smith",
"userPrincipalName": "email@example.com",
"objectType": "User",
"mail": "null",
"accountEnabled": "True" ,
"extension_d8dde29f1095422e91537a6cb22a2f74_skypeId": "joe.smith"
Filtering by Extension Values
The extension values can also be used as a part of $filter to search directory similar to any existing property. For example:
GET https://email@example.com?api-version=1.21-preview&$filter=extension_d8dde29f1095422e91537a6cb22a2f74_skypeId eq 'joe.smith'
Prefix searches on extensions are limited to 71 characters for string searches and 207 bytes for searches on binary extensions.
Sample Code
We have published a couple of samples to GitHub to showcase and illustrate the use of directory extensions. We plan to enhance them based on your feedback and as the feature evolves
PHP Sample
https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-php-graphapi-directoryextensions-web This sample shows how to create directory extensions and use them on users of Azure Active Directory. Settings.php contains the following information for a predefined tenant that should be updated to the developer's tenant to have write permissions using "Manage Access" option and selecting "Single sign-on, read and write directory data" access for your application.
The "Client ID" for the application should be used as $appPrincipalId and a new key can be created using "keys" section. The value generated must be used for $password.
$appObjectId is the unique object identifier of the application. This can be obtained by using "View Applications" link in the home page. That page will display all the applications defined in the current tenant including the appPrincipalId and the objectId.
$skypeExtension can be updated once an extension is created with it's fully qualified name.
public static $appTenantDomainName = 'graphdir1.onMicrosoft.com'; --> Name of the tenant or any verified domain.
public static $appPrincipalId = '118473c2-7619-46e3-a8e4-6da8d5f56e12';
public static $appObjectId = 'fe82d9ae-b178-41f4-bf3f-8c4d7c35736e';
public static $password = 'hOrJ0r0TZ4GQ3obp+vk3FZ7JBVP+TX353kNo6QwNq7Q=';
public static $skypeExtension = 'extension_118473c2761946e3a8e46da8d5f56e12_skypeId';
