If we give ourselves to God and commit ourselves to do His work, then we don't need to worry about tomorrow. God knows the
end from the beginning. We cannot see what will happen tomorrow, but He can.
When we take control of our own lives and depend on our own wisdom for success, we are doing something God hasn't asked us to do and are trying to do it without His help. We have taken to ourselves the responsibility that should be God's. We have put ourselves in His place. This will create anxiety about possible danger and failure because we are on a sure path to disaster.
But when we really believe that God loves us and wants us to succeed, we'll stop worrying over the future. We'll trust God the way a child trusts a loving parent. Then our troubles and problems will disappear because we will want only what God wants.
Jesus didn't promise to help us carry tomorrow's burdens today. He says, "My grace is enough for you" (2 Corinthians 12:9), but, like the manna the Israelites received in the wilderness, His grace is given daily, for each day's problems. Like the Israelites on their long journey, we will discover the "bread" we need each day.
We are given only one day at a time, and for that one day, we can live for God. We can place our one day in Jesus' hands, giving Him both our plans and our worries. "'I say this because I know what I am planning for you,' says the Lord. 'I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future'" (Jeremiah 29:11).
If we commit ourselves to the Lord each day, choosing to be free and happy as we obey and serve Him, all our worries will be stilled, all our issues settled, all our confusing problems solved.

Compared to a decade ago, experts say, today's entrepreneurs seeking to scoop up commercial real estate in the greater Watertown area need to jump through many more hoops to be successful.
To help entrepreneurs and investors eyeing commercial real estate here, Exit More Real Estate of Watertown hosted a public event for the first time Wednesday at the Hilton Garden Inn called Business Venture in the North Country. Bankers and real estate brokers gathered to provide investors information needed to get their business plans off the ground, said Mary C. Adair, owner and broker for Exit More.
Often, she said, entrepreneurs looking at the Watertown area for the first time pursue plans without a full grasp of the resources at their disposal. Finding available commercial buildings to lease, for example, can be one of the toughest challenges. While many businesses are listed with brokers, fewer than 10 percent of buyers go to real estate offices because they don't see for sale signs on many listed commercial properties.
"Properties are on the Internet, but it's not like trying to search for a two-bedroom home. Getting connected with someone who's out there selling a business can be very daunting,"Mrs. Adair said.
There is, nevertheless, a ripe commercial real estate market now in Watertown, Mrs. Adair said, and a large pool of potential investors. About two-thirds of military members at Fort Drum decide to retire in the community, she said, "and a good portion of them are looking for something to do. There are also a lot of Canadian and foreign investors looking to come here."
One of the main aspects of starting a business is developing quality business plans that lenders are seeking, said F. Eric Constance, regional director for the Small Business Development Center in Watertown. The center, which counsels entrepreneurs seeking to start businesses, is recommended as the first stop for new investors in the community to form business plans.
"Businesses need to have their plans in good shape," Mr. Constance said. "They often need their own capital to invest in the project."
Banks that issue loans to small business clients usually require them to be backed by guarantees from the U.S. Small Business Administration, Mr. Constance said, which now closely reviews business plans. Compared to a decade ago, he said, the loan review process done by banks and the SBA has become more stringent. Credit ratings and business plans that show there is demand for products and services are needed.
As an entrepreneur, "you now have to be even more prepared than you ever had to be," he said. "You can't just walk up, throw your feet on the desk and expect to get a loan like you used to. They want to see research and projections."
The most successful entrepreneurs, Mr. Constance said, are generally those who have developed specific business plans that clearly identify their target market.
"If you're a restaurant competing with corporate franchises, you have to find a niche market you're good at that can compete with a cross-section of their market," he said. "You can't compete with big markets, but if you can find one thing they're doing, and do it better, you can be successful."

John Jr. Providing Power
With Shane, Ryan and Chooch out of the lineup, the bench players came through for the second straight game as the Phillies beat the Diamondbacks on a soggy Thursday night to take yet another series.
During their last 16 series, the Phillies are 14-1-1.
Wilson again came through with a run-scoring double and John Jr., playing for the suspended Shane, unloaded a two-run homer. Meanwhile, five different pitchers held Arizona to one run on three hits.
Vance was lifted after a 2:27 rain delay. In his last 11 starts, the Phils are 11-0.
John Jr. has hit seven homers since returning from AAA on July 5, second on the club to Ryan's nine. Of John Jr.'s last 27 hits, 18 are extra-base hits (10 doubles, eight homers).
Rain delays on get-away days means arriving in the next city in the wee hours of the morning. It wasn't too bad for the Phillies who had an Amtrak charter train to DC; Arizona had to fly to Atlanta.
Shane was out of uniform serving the first of a two-game suspension. During the rain delay he visited Ruben Amaro's box behind home plate on the Press Box level "Gee, the game looks easy from up here," he laughed. "Where's Ruben? Want to agitate him." Later we heard reports he visited the Executive Dining Room kitchen and helped himself to some ice cream.
Following a weekend in DC, where there are sure to be thousands of Phillies fans, the Phillies return home for three with the Mets and Marlins next week. Then they became a traveling team, playing 20 of their last 31 games in enemy territories.
In rubber games of a series this season, the Phillies are 10-5 . . . They finished 23-9 against the west division, the most wins since 23 in 1995 . . . With Pence in the lineup, Phils are 14-3.
Alumni Views
"What changes would you like to see in baseball" was a question posed to Phillies Alumni. Here's another view:
Darren Daulton, (C, 1983; 1985-97)
"The DH can stay. Have someone upstairs with access to replays on TV to overrule a missed call. It should only take a few seconds and would eliminate a lot of needless arguing which takes more time. All everyone wants is the correct call. I like the wildcard. Obviously when one division is loaded with good teams some teams are going to feel slighted when they have a much better record than other division winners. Best-of-five is fine. At that time of the year, the players are really exhausted and want to play as least amount of games as possible. Fans obviously would love to see more."
Down On the Farm
OF Brandon Moss (#22), C Erik Kratz and DH Jack Cust homered as Lehigh Valley coasted, 11-1, over Rochester . . . C Tuffy Gosewisch hit his 11th homer and drove in 3 as Reading beat Portland, 8-3 . . . RH Jonathan Pettibone (9-10) ended a personal 3-game losing streak as Clearwater snapped a 5-game losing streak, 6-1, over Dunedin; win pulled the Threshers to within 2.5 games of first place . . . Just promoted from Gulf Coast League, INF Drew Hillman hit his 1st pro homer in Lakewood's 6-2 win against Greensboro. LH Jesse Biddle (6-8) was the winner, lowering his ERA to 1.91 since the All-Star Game; his 121 strikeouts are second in the SAL to teammate Garet Claypool's 137 . . . RH Perci Garner fanned 6 in 4.1 innings as Williamsport beat Tri-City, 3-1, to move into second place . . . Gulf Coast League Phillies lost at Tigers.

Trenza stirs interest - and perplexity
The excitement comes in brief, striking bursts at Trenza, the 3-month-old Latin/global fusion restaurant launched by TV chef Susie Jimenez.
The Colorado caterer was runner-up on Season 7 of the Food Network's "Next New Food Network Star" (the show that, in its second season, unleashed Guy Fieri on the world). Jimenez's winning talent is on display in a vibrant and surprising carrot salsa, the vegetable cut into a precise crunchy mince. It's there in an equally unexpected zucchini-and-walnut mole sauce, all gentle seduction; or in a bright explosion of chipotle yogurt hot enough to make you catch your breath.
It is futile to resist the incendiary bullets of jalapeños crusted in lemony, crisped bread crumbs and cradling a racy filling of ricotta spiked with blue cheese and bacon. Like numerous dishes at Trenza, they trigger the kind of capsaicin-induced pain/pleasure Houstonians know and love. So, in a lower-key fashion, do Jimenez's jalapeño scalloped potatoes, a fluffy cheese-laced cloud that is hard to stop eating.
Would that these thrills came consistently throughout the 26-item menu, which is divided into five curiously punctuated categories: Al.ter.na.tive, Tra.dit.ion.al, Del.i.cate, Rus.tic and Mod.ern. The groupings seem self-conscious and contrived. I've never managed to make much sense of them, despite staff explanations that the categories relate to cooking techniques. What's rustic about a shrimp dumpling, exactly? Can a flaky, restrained mushroom-and-wild-rice strudel really be "del.i.cate" if it's moored in a searingly hot lagoon of chipotle and roasted red pepper sauce?
These and other questions haunt me after three visits to Trenza. I want to like Jimenez's cheeky mesh of Latin, Indian and assorted Asian flavors, a mix that seems far more natural in this city than it might elsewhere. I admire the restaurant's ambitious cocktail program under skilled bar manager Nick Barton, as well as the presence of some well-matched wines - from a piercingly clean Muscadet to a fuller Trimbach Pinot Gris - served at proper temperatures, reds included.
I enjoy the gleam of hammered copper that animates the long, upper-story dining room where pizzeria Ava once lived. I like the spunk of chef Jimenez herself. It's easy to see why she was a hit on television. Working the dining room in an elfin knit cap, she's a fast-talking, effervescent presence, spouting ideas and asides and self-deprecating jokes.
But: This is Jimenez's first restaurant, and she's still finding her way. There's a disjointed feel to the menu, which involves too many separate pieces of paper at this point. It can be daunting trying to construct a meal. Too often, dishes are haphazardly executed or simply out of balance - such as that mushroom strudel fighting its hot-as-blazes sauce. Both elements are eminently likable on their own. Together they seem off kilter.

So does a dish of ricotta-and-goat-cheese ravioli, the cilantro-tinted pasta envelopes all but obliterated by a raucous sauce involving tequila, mushrooms and chipotle. It tastes as nutty as it sounds.
What to make of Duck Lettuce Wraps served with ruched leaves of Bibb that have gone limp and dispirited along their outer frills? It's such a crucial misstep that the effect of the filling (braised, shredded duck and a kicky cactus-pad salad) and the spirited condiments (an expansive Colombian citrus dressing) ends up compromised.
Pallid tomato slices with virtually no flavor subverted a tomato carpaccio salad recently added to the menu. Arugula, watermelon radish batons, fried shallot rings and feta crumbles couldn't compensate for this basic lack of quality. If you're going to add a tomato carpaccio to your menu, it makes sense to wait until you have access to good tomatoes.
And did no one notice that a quartet of bonnetlike shrimp dumplings had dried out and stiffened, so that their topknots were all but inedible? The packets looked gorgeous, but their filling had no clear shrimp taste, and their soy-lime-ginger sauce was a blast of salt.
Those are the sorts of blips that are easily fixed. A more endemic problem here is a tendency to overcook meats so that their textures seem a bit off. I would have loved my tamale of curried braised short rib (recently removed from the menu) had the shreddy filling not hovered at the edge of dryness. The whole point of short rib, it seems to me, is its voluptuousness, its slightly fatty slip and slide.
Too bad, because the tamale's jalapeño-laced tomatillo sauce had a brilliant intensity, and the introduction of warm Indian curry spices to the tamale filling seemed - like many of Jimenez's combinations - more natural than forced.
A tall heap of minced lamb vindaloo, served as a Mexican sope, had that same near-dry effect, and neither its crisped masa boat nor its crown of tart fennel slaw could offset the austere texture. Unlike Jimenez's usual bold stylings, the aggressive heat of an Indian vindaloo was missing in action.
Trenza's version of carnitas was softly mono-textured, with none of the bronzy crisp fried edges Houstonians have come to expect.
The pork was cleverly served as make-your-own mini tostadas, to be garnished with a lovely salad of grilled cactus pad and queso fresco, and with a confetti of that brilliant little carrot salsa. Had the texture of the pork been more persuasive, this would have been my favorite dish.
Even a plate of grilled and sliced flank steak seemed slightly overcooked, with grayed splotches overtaking the rosy centers.
Yet its accompaniments of scalloped jalapeño potatoes, emerald ropes of grilled scallion and the graceful, mild nuttiness of its zucchini-walnut mole made the whole plate sing. It should have been a home run.
At $22, that plate of flank steak is one of a handful of larger, entree-type dishes on the menu. Trenza opened with a tapas-style approach, with small plates to be ordered in succession.
Some of the prices seemed a bit dear: Back in December, a frugal friend of mine was horrified to be served a single chicken tikka masala empanada for $12. Neither was he impressed by the fact that the seasoning didn't soar and that the empanada rested on a strangely large bed of shredded lettuce salad.
But apparently patrons wanted larger portions because that empanada is now two empanadas served for $16, with the same blue-cheese-dressed Bibb lettuce salad filling out the plate. A $14 single scored-and-seared scallop on gingered cauliflower puree has morphed into a two-scallop plate for $17.
These are the sort of adjustments to be expected at a starter restaurant. Jimenez, with her swanky space and Sonny Sachdeva, her Houston investor, is just working out the kinks on a larger public stage than most first-timers.
I hope she smoothes things out because she's anything but dull. Not all of her multi-culti splicing works, but she trades in some memorable flavors and combinations that suit our collective palate. I'm rooting for her.

Today, blogging and content management software WordPress released the first beta for its upcoming 3.7 version of the software. Among several bug fixes and feature updates, the biggest apple in the bucket is the ability of the software to update itself – overnight, without any manual input.
WordPress has had this feature since antiquity, but always via plugins. It is only now that the WordPress core can boast of it. "3.7 Beta 1 will keep itself updated. That's right — you'll be updated each night to the newest development build, and eventually to Beta 2. " — says Andrew Nacin, WordPress Lead Developer.
There will be situations where "WordPress can't reliably and securely update itself" — Nacin mentions, and for these you'll be alerted via email. The automatic updates will also work for official translations, in case you're running WordPress in a language other than English.
The 3.7 Beta 1 for WordPress is nowhere near a complete, stable offering and you should be wary of installing it on websites you don't want to risk the working of. In any case, if you're one of the hard ones, the link to the beta is right here →

- FIA news
Hartstein reveals anger at FIA
FIA chief doctor Gary Hartstein has declared his anger at the FIA, saying he is "righteously pissed off" to have lost his job.
Hartstein revealed on Twitter in November that he had been informed that the decision not to renew his Formula One contract had been taken by Jean Todt and the president of the FIA Medical Commission. However, having originally said it is "not down to me to know" the reasons for the change, Hartstein has today taken to Twitter once again to voice his anger and declare that he is set to challenge the FIA's decision.
"It's taken a while, but I am righteously pissed off," Hartstein wrote. "I might launch a crusade to get some answers, or get my f***ing job back, or let the world know what's REALLY going on on the medical side of the FIA. Understand this: I am NOT bitter or sad. I am seriously angry. And that's bad.
"Not sure how or when, but there's dark clouds a-gatherin'. This is gonna be a f***ing blast!"
Hartstein later added: "Ok now we all need to be patient. I'll tweet my usual blather for a few weeks then we'll see where we're at."

If you're a sex-starved Dad who is repeatedly turned down by your wife, you might have an opportunity this weekend to actually get some.
BabyCenter polled moms and found that 80 percent would rather spend Super Bowl Sunday in the bedroom than in front of the TV. Dads: Would you be willing to give up the game for sex?
I'm among those women who would rather have sex than watch the Super Bowl. I only care about the sport when Tim Riggins is on the field and Coach Eric standing on the sidelines. In fact, I can think of a long list of things I'd father do than tune into the game including take a nap, clean the closets, or build the Millennium Falcon out of Legos with my son.
Would my husband go for sex over the Super Bowl? Probably as he's not a big football fan. But I know there are other things he wouldn't give up like watching the Tour de France or going to a John Prince concert. And since he enjoys these things so much, I don't think I'd consider asking him to give them up for sex. I think we'd figure out a way for him to get both.

Simple usage of polynomials over GF(2^n), using Rijndael's finite field: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field_arithmetic#Rijndael.27s_finite_field
The functions available are:
- pMult
- GF(2^n) Multiplication
- pDiv
- GF(2^n) Division
- pMod
- GF(2^n) Modulus
- pDivMod
- GF(2^n) Division/Modulus, packed together
Note that addition in GF(2^n) is simply
xor, so no custom function is provided.
Helper synonym for representing GF(2^8); which are merely 8-bit unsigned words. Largest term in such a polynomial has degree 7.
(<*>) :: GF28 -> GF28 -> GF28Source
Multiplication in Rijndael's field; usual polynomial multiplication followed by reduction
by the irreducible polynomial. The irreducible used by Rijndael's field is the polynomial
x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1, which we write by giving it's exponents in SBV.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field_arithmetic#Rijndael.27s_finite_field.
Note that the irreducible itself is not in GF28! It has a degree of 8.
NB. You can use the
showPoly function to print polynomials nicely, as a mathematician would write.

The Concert For Bangladesh was the event title for two benefit concerts organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, held at noon and at 7:00 p.m. on August 1, 1971, playing to a total of 40,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Organized for the relief of refugees from East Pakistan (now independent Bangladesh) after the 1970 Bhola cyclone and during the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities and Bangladesh Liberation War, the event was the first benefit concert of this magnitude in world history. It featured an all-star supergroup of performers that included Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Badfinger, and Ringo Starr.
An album was released later in 1971 and a concert film was released in 1972, with later releases for home video. In 2005, the film was re-issued on DVD accompanied by a new documentary.
The concert raised US$243,418.51 for Bangladesh relief, which was administered by UNICEF. Sales of the album and DVD continue to benefit the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF.
As East Pakistan struggled to become the separate state of Bangladesh during the Bangladesh Liberation War, the tremendous political and military turmoil and the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities led to a massive refugee problem in India. This problem was compounded by the 1970 Bhola cyclone, bringing torrential rains causing devastating floods and threatening a humanitarian disaster.
Bengali musician Ravi Shankar consulted his friend George Harrison regarding a means of providing help to the situation. Harrison recorded the single "Bangla Desh" to raise awareness and pushed Apple Records to release Shankar's single "Joi Bangla" in a dual-pronged effort to raise funds.
Shankar also asked Harrison's advice regarding a small fund-raising concert in the United States. Harrison took the idea and started calling his friends, persuading them to join him in a large concert at Madison Square Garden. The event was organised within five weeks.
Harrison first asked his fellow Beatles to appear. John Lennon agreed to take part in the concert, however Harrison stipulated that Lennon's wife Yoko Ono not perform with him. Lennon agreed, but left New York two days before the event following an argument with Ono regarding his and Harrison's agreement that she not participate.
Paul McCartney declined because of the bad feelings caused by The Beatles' legal problems on their break-up. "George came up and asked if I wanted to play Bangla Desh and I thought, blimey, what's the point? We're just broken up and we're joining up again? It just seemed a bit crazy," McCartney told Rolling Stone years later. Ringo Starr, however, appeared.
Concert programme
Ravi Shankar and the sarodist Ali Akbar Khan opened the concert with recital of Indian music consisting of the dhun, "Bangla Dhun".
Except for back-up roles in support of both the Delaney & Bonnie Blues Band and John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, it was the first live appearance for George Harrison since the breakup of The Beatles. Eric Clapton made his first public appearance since the end of the five-month Derek and the Dominos tour the previous December. Clapton was still in the grip of a heroin addiction, and had been unable to attend any rehearsals until the final soundcheck. This was the first live performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and may have been the first time the general public was made aware that it was Clapton who played the solo on The Beatles' recording.
Musical help was also on hand from Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Klaus Voormann, Jim Keltner, Badfinger, a large horn section put together by Jim Horn and other musicians, including Carl Radle, Jesse Ed Davis, Don Preston and a host of backing singers organized by Don Nix.
Bob Dylan made his first stage appearance since the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1969. Apart from sitting in for a few numbers with The Band on New Year 1972 and an unannounced appearance backing John Prine on harmonica at a Greenwich Village club, he did not play live again until January 1974.

The film
Both the afternoon and evening shows were filmed and recorded for an album, with Phil Spector overseeing the sound recording. The film, released in 1972, combined images from both shows with George Harrison's preference of the performances of the songs.
Harrison later complained that half the camera operators appeared to have been indulging in illegal substances, which left the focus of some shots rather soft.
The opening of the film features footage from a press conference to announce the concert with Harrison and Shankar. Harrison is asked by a reporter: "With all the enormous problems in the world, how did you happen to choose this one to do something about?"
"Because I was asked by a friend if I would help, you know, that's all," was Harrison's reply.
The scene then shifts to outside Madison Square Garden, and news coverage by WABC-TV reporter Geraldo Rivera, who interviews fans who have camped out for tickets to the shows.
The concert begins with a performance by Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan. Harrison introduces the set and both he and Shankar attempt to convey the intricacies of Indian classical music to the audience. Shankar additionally asked the audience not to smoke during the performance. Shankar and Khan then proceed to tune their instruments and then stop after about 90 seconds. The audience, apparently believing they had heard an entire piece, respond with enthusiastic applause, to which Shankar replies: "Thank you, if you appreciate the tuning so much, I hope you will enjoy the playing more." They then launch into a 17-minute rāga.
After an interlude of footage from backstage, showing Spector, Harrison and other performers making their way to the stage, Harrison starts off the rock portion with a string of songs from his hit album, All Things Must Pass.
He is backed by a large band, including two drummers, Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner matching strokes, pianist Leon Russell, organist Billy Preston, two lead guitarists, Eric Clapton and Jesse Ed Davis, Badfinger on rhythm guitars, a horn section and a small choir of backing vocalists, many of whom are also playing tambourines. He then turns the concert over to his friends.
Towards the end of Billy Preston's song, "That's the Way God Planned It", Preston gets up from his bench and dances across the stage and back again. This footage is taken during the evening performance. Starr sings his hit song "It Don't Come Easy" and appears flustered as he forgets some of the words. Russell offers a rock and roll medley and Harrison performs some of the hits he wrote with The Beatles. Bob Dylan appears for a semi-acoustic set of his songs, and the film is capped off with two more songs, closing with Harrison's song, "Bangla Desh".

2005 DVD issue
A two-disc special edition DVD of The Concert for Bangladesh was issued in 2005, with the concert on disc one and a 2005 documentary, The Concert for Bangladesh Revisited with George Harrison and Friends, on the second disc.
Performers interviewed for the documentary include Ravi Shankar, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Jim Keltner, Jim Horn, Leon Russell and Klaus Voormann, who offer their recollections of the concert. George Harrison talks about organizing the concert in voiceovers only. Other interviews are with Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner and Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof, who talk of the historic importance of the event, as well as Apple Corps executive Neil Aspinall.
The documentary reveals how quickly the concert came together, with Harrison working the phone during June and July 1971 to ask his friends to join the show. Madison Square Garden was booked for August 1 because it was the only open date available. Musicians began gathering in New York about a week beforehand for rehearsals.
Notably absent from the preparations was Clapton, who was in the grips of heroin addiction. Harrison says in the documentary that Clapton was booked on every airline flight from London to New York City for a week before the show. With Clapton still absent (according to his recently released autobiography, due to a cold turkey provoked by bad quality heroin that Harrison provided him as a condition for playing the concert), lead guitarists started "hanging around", hoping to be asked to join. Harrison tapped Jesse Ed Davis, who had played in Taj Mahal's band, and bassist Klaus Voormann volunteered to work with Davis in rehearsals. Another musician, Don Preston from Leon Russell's band, joined on lead guitar as well. Organizers then Telexed Clapton, telling him he did not have to come, but Clapton insisted he would play and finally showed up a day before the concert. He performed without benefit of rehearsal, and "he was brilliant," Harrison said.
Clapton, for his part, recalls the time as a period of "retirement" and that "I really made it hard for myself" in the concert, choosing to play a hollow-body Gibson Byrdland guitar for the bulk of the songs, including his solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", when a solid-body electric guitar (such as a Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul) would have been more appropriate.
There are also short features on the making of the film, the release of the album and the artwork and concert photography. Along with the extensive collection of still photos for the album package, stills photographer Barry Feinstein reveals that the photo used on the cover of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II was taken by him during the concert.
Album release
An album of the concerts was released as a triple-LP box set (later a 2-CD set), produced by Harrison and Phil Spector, and recorded by Gary Kellgren. This record was Dylan's first official live release.
While the LP was issued on Apple Records (distributed by Capitol Records in the US and EMI worldwide), tape distribution (cassette and 8-track cartridge) was given to Columbia Records, Bob Dylan's label, in exchange for being allowed to include his set as part of the package. When the album was reissued on CD in 1992, Columbia (now owned by Sony Music) in turn reissued the cassette version.
The two-CD set was re-released in 2001, and Harrison had been working on a remastered and expanded deluxe edition prior to his death. It was released in October 2005 by Apple and Rhino Entertainment along with the film on a special edition two-DVD set.
Funds and controversy
The concert raised US$243,418.50, which was given to UNICEF to administer. Sales of the DVDs and CDs of the concert continue to benefit the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF.
However, there were complaints about the high price of the album and allegations that there were delays in money from the album sales being sent to help the Bangladesh refugees. Allen Klein, then an executive at Apple Corps insisted the company made no money from the album or film and was only recovering its advertising and production costs. However New York magazine reported in 1972 that some of the proceeds remained unaccounted for. Klein denied it and sued the magazine for $150 million in damages.
According to a June 2, 1985 article in the Los Angeles Times, by 1985 nearly $12 million had been sent to Bangladesh for relief. However, the money was tied up in an Internal Revenue Service escrow account for 11 years because the concert organisers had not applied for tax-exempt status.
In a 1980 interview John Lennon (who did not participate in the concert) opined that benefits are "always rip-offs" and regarding the question where the money from the Bangladesh concert went, commented: "I can't even talk about it, because it's still a problem. You'll have to check with Mother [Yoko], because she knows the ins and outs of it, I don't. But it's all a rip-off."
In popular culture
The Concert for Bangladesh was satirized in two episodes of The Simpsons, "Like Father, Like Clown", and "I'm with Cupid". In the former, Krusty plays it while a visitor at the Simpsons household, and in the latter, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon has in his record collection, the Concert Against Bangladesh, with a picture of a mushroom cloud on the cover, reflecting the popular perception of Hindu-Muslim rivalry in the region. In reality, India supported Bangladesh during its struggle for independence.
Crowd noises from this film were put into Aerosmith's cover of "Train Kept A-Rollin'" by producer Jack Douglas.

Jackson Rathbone Gossip
Jackson Rathbone gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Fast-talking and lip-biting
FameFlynet, Brad Barket/ Getty
Kristen Stewart was photographed in New York yesterday on the set of a new independent film called Anesthesia. She's expected to work a short few days. It's the latest in a series of indie projects for Stewart. Reminds me of what Sarah wrote in her Stewart Career Prospectus Full Story
Famewhore maybe couples & really bad hair
Now that Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and the major producers of the Twilight franchise have left Vancouver, the lower tier actors are walking on looser leashes. Which is why a couple of them, after several weeks of being ordered to stay undercover, were wide open and accessible for papping yesterday during their final days of production. Full Story
Paparazzi BFF
PunkD Images
Kellan Lutz arrived in Vancouver last night to get to work on Twilight. Lutz seemed to be in great spirits to be back in Vancouver, even giving one of the photographers a hug after asking for her whereabouts. Well that's awfully friendly, isn't it? Especially since last year he and his people were rather accusatory about an incident in Montreal – he claims he was run over by this same pap and feared for his safety, going so far as to file a police report Full Story
It's time
A very well dressed, good-spirited Kristen Stewart attended Scream 2010 the other night to collect some awards for Twilight. My girl crush is alive and well. Stewart was joined on stage by co-stars Jackson Rathbone and Nikki Reed, also her ex best friend. Wonder how well that went over. Two years ago – Christ, has it been that long? – the two were inseparable. Full Story
I think we're through
At least until The Last Airbender has been purged. I am a fickle bitch, as you know, especially when it comes to quiver. Just the smallest, smallest aberration, it's enough to kill it forever. Especially when it's a young actor without a strong foundation, without history, without a body of work to sustain him through the sh-t times. Full Story
On Twilight Eclipse
Like I said earlier, Twilight Eclipse is the best comedy so far of the summer. Does it matter if that wasn't the intended reaction? Not to me. Because Darren, Fiona, and I, we had a good time laughing our tits off. And isn't this the point of going to the movies? To enjoy ourselves, even if the reason for the enjoyment doesn't exactly reflect the film's purpose? Frankly, after the atrocity that was Twilight New Moon, we needed some amusement. Full Story
These pictures are not for the fickle
We discuss this all the time, how I can be so fickle. Laura's Robert Pattinson problem is now 18 months old. This is a ridiculously long time for a celebrity crush. When I tell her this she tells me that I have no loyalty, and that she doesn't understand how I can go from love to hate so quickly when my crushes are over. Full Story
Jackson and the animals
We are dogsitting for a friend this weekend. He's a westie called Bolt and he was dropped off to Jacek yesterday, totally freaked out and feeling abandoned by his owners. Which is why he promptly had a pee and two sh-ts on our carpet. Thanks God Full Story
Jackson's disadvantage
He's the hottest vampire in Twilight. The problem: he looks like sh-t in Twilight. That wig, the makeup, to say nothing of his limited opportunity to showcase anything but the most embarrassing expressions ...in a film full of bad acting examples, he unfortunately stands out. What sucks for Jackson Rathbone is that since he's so low profile, that's the only version of him that most non-TwiHards are aware of. Full Story
Jackson Rathbone & the Twilight makeup artist
Even Twi-Hards will agree: the wig and makeup situation in the Twilight movies is f-cking busted. This is supposed to be the most ridiculously beautiful family maybe ever, and instead when Jasper comes on the screen looking like a crazed clown, the laughs far outnumber the moists. Which is almost criminal. Full Story
Jackson Rathbone's Half Way Party
And he gets even sexier. Jackson Rathbone and band 100 Monkeys hosted a private party on Saturday night in Vancouver at the Players Chophouse. Here is an exclusive copy of the invitation. The date stamp KILLS me. You will note… The open bar. All class. One of my pet peeves in life: Cash Bar At A Wedding. Full Story

Masha Gessen is the author of The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin. She also writes for The New Republic, New Statesman, Slate, Vanity Fair and US News and World Report.
It made sense that she would be asked to participate in the Sydney Writer's Festival in Sydney, Australia.
Masha Gessen is also a gay activist who has been a member of the board of directors for the Moscow LGBT organization Triangle. So it also made sense that they slotted her for a debate titled "Why Get Married When You Can Be Happy?
Evidently, Ms Gessen is not one to mince words. While other gay activists say things like what she said in that debate in private, they go the other way in public discussion.
The party line is that gay marriage is just this little thing that will have no impact on anything. Ms Gessen departed from the party line and served up a heaping plateful of unvarnished truth.
Here's what she had to say (emphasis mine):
These statements have been all over the internet. The question is, what to they really mean?
It's a no-brainer that we should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that it's a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist [cheers from the audience].
That causes my brain some trouble. And part of why it causes me trouble is because fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there—because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie. The institution of marriage is going to change, and it should change. And again, I don't think it should exist. And I don't like taking part in creating fictions about my life. That's sort of not what I had in mind when I came out thirty years ago. I have three kids who have five parents, more or less, and I don't see why they shouldn't have five parents legally….
[After my divorce,] I met my new partner, and she had just had a baby, and that baby's biological father is my brother, and my daughter's biological father is a man who lives in Russia, and my adopted son also considers him his father. So the five parents break down into two groups of three…. And really, I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality. And I don't think that's compatible with the institution of marriage.
If they had come from the mouth of a nutcase with no influence (who probably wouldn't have been engaged in this debate in the first place) then they wouldn't mean much of anything. Everybody's got a mouth and most of us say really stupid things from time to time.
However, this statement didn't come from a nutcase with no influence. It came from a writer who is entrenched in major media outlets and who writes a great deal about LGBT issues, including, presumably, gay marriage.
What that means is that Ms Gessen is not just a person with an opinion. She's an opinion shaper. She has a lot to do with what people in the world read and thus, how they think about issues like this.
If this is the agenda she's following, I think it's reasonable to think that other people in these same media outlets agree with that agenda and are pushing it also. I've written before that I think the media is not just in support of gay marriage, it is hard-selling it to us.
I believe that writers like this one, with agendas like this, are part of that process.
Is the secret motivation behind gay marriage a plot to destroy marriage? I'm not sure that matters.
In the final analysis, it might as well be their agenda, since it will be the result of re-writing marriage laws to pretend that there are no differences between gay couples and a man and a woman. This entire movement is based on this absurd lie.
One question that people who think the way Ms Gessen says that she does don't even try to answer is whether civilization can survive the destruction of home and family and the complete commodification of women's bodies and of children.
This is an audio of Ms Gessen, making these statements.

Upon entering the Ritchie Center today, there were two large white "Sold Out" signs by the ticket office. As expected, the hardest ticket in town right now is Sunday's DU lacrosse game against Villanova at Peter Barton Stadium. The first-round NCAA Tournament game (3:15 p.m., ESPNU) is the first-ever Division I contest of its kind held west of the Mississippi River.
Barton Stadium seats about 2,000, I was told, and 500 "lawn" tickets were also sold.
"They always say, 'If you've got a tough ticket it's a good product,' and that's a good thing," DU coach Bill Tierney said from his Ritchie Center office. "It allows me to think bigger. It allows me to think of a bigger stadium, and all those delusions of grandeur maybe, but it allows me to think of things I talked to (athletic director) Peg (Bradley-Doppes) about two years ago when I interviewed here. Like everything else, it has happened a little quicker than we all expected."
DU is 13-2 and on a 10-game winning streak. The Pios lost close games to Big East Conference powers Syracuse and Notre Dame and they beat defending NCAA champion Duke. Nobody else has played them close.
Part of why I think people are so pumped about DU is Tierney, who is the John Wooden of college lacrosse coaches. The Pios have a leader that has won six NCAA championships and led his Princeton to 10 overall Final Fours, and he is saying DU can win the national title. I'm buying it.
Back to the sellout. "We want people to say, 'Oh shoot I couldn't get a ticket, but I'm going to go to some of their regular-season games next year so I can get into this thing," Tierney said of the bandwagon.
If nothing else, new turf will be installed at Barton Stadium this summer.

Critically ill newborns from across Southwest Washington rely on the advanced services of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. To give them faster access to our high level care, the Center has established a unique transport service.
These transport teams consist of specially trained registered nurses and respiratory therapists. Traveling in a specially equipped ambulance, these professionals and their equipment serve as a mobile neonatal intensive care unit to transport the baby to the hospital. If requested, the transport team will respond to a referral facility and assist in the delivery room resuscitation, stabilization and transport of the newborn.
MultiCare's Neonatal Transport Team is the first ground-only transport in the nation to win accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems.
Tacoma General Hospital is the only hospital in the South Puget Sound that can provide the highest level of care possible for critically ill infants.
The Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) serves premature and critically ill newborns and is the Neonatal Referral Center for all of Southwest Washington. Additionally, Tacoma General is nationally accredited in neonatal transport services and provides care and transportation for more than 750 premature infants annually.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is made up of two units, including the Intermediate Care Nursery. The two units provide different levels of care based on a baby's needs.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Shine forum!
A few ground rules:
1. When you join the forum, take a minute to say hi on the introduction thread. (Not a requirement, but nice.)
2. A new "general discussion" thread is created at the beginning of each new storyline. (Who creates them, you ask? Whoever gets to it first.) Reactions to the current strip should go in the latest storyline thread. You can make other posts on whatever other subjects you like (so long as they're related to Shine).
3. Critical reactions are allowed. Just don't try to dictate how the strip is run. So, for instance, "I think this scene was out-of-character" is cool. "How dare you write this scene, you terrible person?", not so much. (It'll only get you laughed at.)
4. Be polite. (That should be a given.)
See also the Dreamwidth community for goodies and discussion, and the Shine Shrine and its forum for general fannishness.
Enjoy your stay!

"Is it a benign mole or a malignant melanoma?" you wonder. This is an important question, as the number of cases of melanoma continues to increase. It's shocking that the incidence of new cases is now greater than the combined number of breast, lung, prostate and large bowel cancers. So how can you prevent dying from this disease?
Rudyard Kipling, the English novelist, gave some sound advice when he wrote, "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun". Too much sun exposure is the cause of many melanomas. Remember that if your shadow is shorter than you, it's time to get out of the sun.
Dr. Allan Halpern, chief of dermatology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, says that people who have 50 or more moles on their body have a greater risk of developing melanoma. Moreover, the risk increases if you have red or blond hair, blue or green eyes, or tend to burn easily. It's also safer if you don't have freckles.
Halpern adds that children who get sunburns at an early age, the ones they never forget, are also at greater risk. So are those who have worked outdoors for a number of summers.
The male "macho" image or the thought, "it won't happen to me," place men at greater risk than women. Men tend to spend more time outdoors, are less diligent about skin protection, and less likely to use sunscreen.
People with darker skin have a higher death rate from melanoma than those of lighter skin. The primary reason is that their melanomas are less likely to be seen until they reach an advanced stage. They are also more likely to get melanomas on areas of the body where they're more difficult to detect, such as on soles of the feet.
How can you tell the difference between a benign mole and one that can kill you? Sometimes it's as easy as rolling off a log because its appearance is dramatic. For instance, melanomas can come in a variety of colours. Some are black and darker around the outside. Others contain a mixture of colours, white, purple, blue or red. Nearly all dangerous moles have irregular or indefinite margins. And most are larger than the rubber on the end of a pencil.
Dr. Kettering warns that a red light should flash if a mole develops a tingling sensation or becomes itchy, grows larger, becomes ulcerated or bleeds easily.
The problem is that some melanomas are the shade of skin and are easily missed even by experts. Several years ago, one study showed that dermatologists, plastic surgeons and surgeons failed to make the diagnosis in 35% of cases!
So there's an old surgical maxim that's wise to heed in questionable cases. "When in doubt, cut it out." No doctor wants to remove a normal appendix. But excising a suspect mole harms no one even if the final diagnosis is benign.
To decrease the death rate from melanoma, it's important to do an annual check of your naked body. But since you have to be Houdini to see your back, find a willing partner to help you out. Then, if there's any doubt, see your doctor.
Years ago, after watching a friend die from melanoma, my wife and I decided to get our skin checked by a dermatologist. His nurse said, "Do you want to be examined together?" I thought "Why not? It will save the doctor's time." So I removed everything except my shorts. My wife retorted, "Surely, you don't think I'm going to take off all my clothes and stand here naked when the doctor enters!" "It will save time" I said. But I didn't win that debate.
However you check your moles, there is some good news. The five year survival rate for melanomas is 98% if they are treated early, before they metastasize to the lymph nodes.
Don't forget to use sunscreen and stay far away from tanning beds! And when in doubt, cut it out, as it may save your life.

8 Epic Computer Industry Failures
Anyone who's seen the movie, Talladega Nights, will recall the signature line, "If you ain't first, you're last." While this philosophy may serve a racecar driver well, it doesn't necessarily translate to success in IT innovation. Front-runners run the risk of "canary in a coal mine" syndrome, serving as a test-market study for other organizations to follow, avoiding unforeseen trapdoors that the pioneers exposed through their failures. In the book, The Limits of Strategy: Lessons in Leadership from the Computer Industry (iUniverse/Available now), author Ernest von Simson presents the history of the computer age in nearly epic literary style, weaving it together with lessons learned in other eras from historic industry legends, such as Henry Ford. Ultimately, von Simson's examination of the failures of a number of technology companies is meant to foster a greater understanding of success. Von Simson is an IT-industry research veteran who has worked alongside Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Scott McNealy, von Simson co-founded the Research Board and is now senior partner at Osrtiker von Simson. Here are lessons learned from his book that pinpoint eight common organizational behaviors/philosophies/patterns that often lead to failure, along with von Simson's take on the companies that stumbled and soared as the result of these business dynamics:

Humoral theory, also known as humorism or the theory of the four humours, was a model for the workings of the human body. It was systemised in Ancient Greece, although its origins may go back further still. The theory was central to the teachings of Hippocrates and Galen and it became the dominant theory in Europe for many centuries. It remained a major influence on medical practice and teaching until well into the 1800s.
In this theory, humours existed as liquids within the body and were identified as blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. These were in turn associated with the fundamental elements of air, water, earth and fire. It was further proposed that each of the humours was associated with a particular season of the year, during which too much of the corresponding humour could exist in the body - blood, for example, was associated with spring. A good balance between the four humours was essential to retain a healthy body and mind, as imbalance could result in disease. Such notions of internal balance have parallels in other medical traditions, notably Ayurveda, Unani Tibb and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The treatments for disease within humoral theory were concerned with restoring balance. These could be relatively benign and focused on changes in dietary habits, exercise and herbal medicines. But other treatments could involve more aggressive attempts to re-establish balance. As well as having the body purged with laxatives and emetics, or the skin blistered with hot iron, individuals already weakened by disease might be subjected to bloodletting because practitioners mistakenly believed that their bodies contained an excess of blood.

SOCHI, Russia -- Gus Kenworthy does not have any names selected for the potential new additons to his household.
"Dude, I don't have them yet," Kenworthy said. "I can't name them until I've got them."
Kenworthy, who won a silver medal in the men's slopestyle freestyle skiing event Thursday, was talking about the now-famous lost dogs of Sochi.
The stray animals became an early international story when athletes and journalists started to arrive in Russia before the Olympics. Some are attempting to find ways to rescue the dogs, including Kenworthy.
He charmed a roomful of reporters with his plan to save the puppies.
"There is a family of stray dogs that are living outside the Gorki Media Center and I'm doing all that I can to try and bring them back with me," said the 22-year-old, who lives in Telluride, Colo. "There are four puppies and a momma dog.
"They are the cutest things ever….Almost a fairy tale. I've been a dog lover all my life. To find the cutest family of strays here at the Olympics was just a fairy tale way to have it go down. Hopefully I'll bring them back with me."

Yahoo! greenlights search security warnings
Beta tests McAfee SiteAdvisor
So Yahoo! is getting off its butt at last to warn users when its search engine results include potentially malicious sites.
Yahoo! SearchScan, which launches today in beta, is a rebadged version of McAfee SiteAdvisor. This website and browser plug-in pumps out text warnings in red or orange, or gives the all-clear in green, alongside search results.
And Yahoo! is delighted with its new puppy. "No other search engine today offers you this level of warning before visiting sites. Period." So writes Vish Makhijan, head of Yahoo! Search, on the company's corporate blog.
Which may be true, but Google has been warning visitors about potentially bad sites for two years, now
You can see a screenshot of Yahoo! Searchscan in action in Makhijan's post. ®

Chocolate chip cookies
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
Place the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and continue to mix until a smooth batter forms. Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chunks using the spatula.
To form the cookies, scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough into your hands and roll it around into a ball; place them about 3-inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets; you should get about 4 cookies on each pan. Press down the tops of the dough slightly and bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies, or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough/cookie sheets.
