The Scene vs The DUFs
The Scene comes out before the match with Larry Dallas to try and show off how they're watching tonight's iPPV on their iPhone, but the DUFs, represented tonight by Pinkie Sanchez & Arik Cannon, run out of the back to jump start the match. Sanchez hits a spinning headscissors out of the corner and then tags out to Cannon, who pulls Caleb Konley's shirt over his head before just booting him in the face. Snap suplex by Cannon gets 2, then tags Sanchez in for a combo of kicks and finally Cannon hiptossed Sanchez onto Konley for 2. That was innovative. Sanchez with a series off butt splashes to the face of Konley, but Scott Reed tags in behind Pinkie's back and begins pummeling him, then hits a hard suplex for 2. Konley comes in and picks Sanchez up in a delayed vertical suplex and Reed repeatedly chops Sanchez while he's in the air. Simple but effective. Sanchez gets a chinbreaker on Konley and tags out to Cannon, who ties Konley up in a standing figure four and then, I kid you not, gets a beer thrown to him by somebody in the audience and he opens it and takes a chug, spits it in Reed's face when he tries to come in, then chugs the rest. Another series of double teams ends with Sanchez hitting Poetry In Motion off Cannon's back and into Konley, followed by a bulldog for 2. Reed comes in and hits a Splash Mountain on Sanchez, but Cannon breaks the fall at 2. The Scene gets a double team DDT/wheelbarrow suplex combo for 2, but Konley misses a moonsault and Cannon drills him with a right hand, suplex, and brainbuster for 3.
Winners: The DUFs
This was a very fun opener, there was some really innovative double teaming here, and the beer spot with Arik Cannon was something else. That should wind up in DGUSA video packages. Sami Callihan comes into the ring and says that the DUFs' night isn't over, and he wants Jon Davis to come out and face him right now.
Sami Callihan vs Jon Davis
They don't waste any time getting rough, getting into a shoving match before Callihan chops Davis hard and spits in his face, to which Davis immediately responds by hitting a Pounce that sends Callihan crashing across the ring and out to the floor. Davis goes after him and presses Callihan, popping him up and dropping him hard on the ring apron. Davis with hard kicks to Callihan's chest right in the laps of the front row, then dumps him back into the ring to dish out more punishment. Callihan tries to climb back outside, but Davis ties him in the ropes and slams his forearm across Callihan's chest. Davis with a series of hard bodyslams and a fallaway slam followed by a snap powerslam for 2. Davis rams Callihan hard sternum first into the corner, then does it again just for laughs. Davis finally misses a charge and Callihan pounces, hitting a pair of enziguiris and a pair of running facewashes, but Davis comes right back with another powerslam for 2. Davis just destroys Callihan with punches and kicks and then returns the favor by spitting in Callihan's face, but Callihan pulls the top rope down on a charge and Davis goes out to the floor. Callihan quickly follows with a sprinting dive through the ropes that wipes Davis out, then he tears into Davis with chops to the chest. Callihan counters a suplex attempt to a guillotine choke, but Davis powers back to his feet and rams Callihan hard into the corner. He can't free himself, so he does it again and Callihan again maintains the hold. Davis collapses to the mat, but Davis again gets to his feet, powers Callihan up, and hits the Jackhammer, but is too spent to make the cover. Callihan goes to the second rope, but Davis hits him with a leaping enziguiri and follows him up. Callihan tries a sunset bomb, Davis blocks, so Callihan kicks Davis in the back of the knee and hits the powerbomb for 2, then gets Davis right in a figure four. Davis makes the ropes and they wind up fighting out on the apron, and I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. They trade kicks, and Callihan drops to the floor and hits a leaping enziguiri to the leg of Davis. They're both back on the floor and Callihan hits a bicycle kick to the face of Davis, but Davis shoves him off and tells him to do it again. Callihan with a second bicycle kick, but Davis still doesn't go down, so Callihan takes another try and Davis catches him in midair and turns it into a spine buster onto the apron. Wow, that was an ugly bump. They go back in and Davis powerbombs Callihan hard into the corner and wipes him out with a lariat for 2. Crowd is solidly behind Davis now as he picks Callihan up, but Callihan catches him with a Saito suplex and a diving forearm for 2. Callihan with hard chops but Davis responds with hard kicks until Callihan catches his foot and hits a leg whip. He calls for the Stretch Muffler, but shouldn't have dilly-dallied because Davis comes from behind and gets him in a torture rack into a spinning sitout powerbomb.
Winner: Jon Davis
This was an awesome fight, they beat the hell out of each other and had one hell of a great match that really got the crowd going. Cannon and Sanchez run back out and the DUFs beat Davis down 3-on-1, then grab a pair of barricades from ringside and place them over Davis' chest, bring in a third barricade, and repeatedly slam it down on top of the other two and onto Davis until a bunch of other wrestlers run in to chase the DUFs off. Instead of going to the back, Arik Cannon and Pinkie Sanchez join Lenny Leonard at the broadcast booth and make him say their full name just because.
Akira Tozawa vs Masato Yoshino
Yoshino gets a big chant from the crowd, so Tozawa goes to the outside and teases going to the back if the fans don't stop. He eventually gets back in and they do some basic chain wrestling but end in a stalemate. Yoshino takes Tozawa to the ropes and breaks clean, but then does his thing coming off the ropes and nearly launches Tozawa out of the ring with a high speed hiptoss. More back and forth and Yoshino scores with a flying headscissors and Tozawa backs off to the corner. Yoshino won't relent, putting the boots to him and lockinghim in a headscissors. Yoshino with a vertical suplex for 2, but Tozawa boots Yoshino in the face and starts putting the boots to Yoshino. Tozawa gets him in a rear chinlock, but Yoshino makes the ropes so Tozawa chops him in the chest and then feints a chest so Yoshino would cover up, and jabs him in the face instead. Tozawa with a senton for 2 and then stretches him out with a side angle surfboard. Yoshino fights out of that, so Tozawa gets him in a half crab instead, but Yoshino again makes the ropes. Tozawa continues unloading on Yoshino, but Yoshino Hulks up and starts going toe to toe with Tozawa, who tries a Frankensteiner that gets countered to a powerbomb for 2. Yoshino goes up top and tries a double stomp, but Tozawa dodges and hits a bicycle kick into the corner for 2 followed by a backdrop suplex for 2. Tozawa picks Yoshino up and goes for a German suplex, but Yoshino blocks so Tozawa gets another bicycle kick and Yoshino comes back from that with a Royal Octopus hold that luckily sends Tozawa stumbling into the ropes. Yoshino comes off the top rope with a double stomp to the arm of Tozawa, dodges another bicycle kick from Tozawa, and hits a spinning armbar for 2. Tozawa with a series of kicks and an attempted suplex, Yoshino counters out but Tozawa wipes him out with a Shining Wizard and they're both down. They get to their feet and trade chops in the middle of the ring and Tozawa scores with another pair of bicycle kicks and tries a German suplex, but Yoshino reverses to a victory roll for 2. Tozawa blocks the Lightning Spiral and hits the bridging German suplex for the win.
Winner: Akira Tozawa
Great match and surprising finish! I liked this a lot, Tozawa has gotten so good and has really turned into a star this year.

You've probably never heard of
It may also surprise you to know that the Indian film industry, centered in an area of Bombay known as Bollywood, produces more films per year than any other country in the world. With between 800 films and 900 films hitting the screen every year, these movies are a cinematic staple throughout Asia but are relatively unknown to audiences in the U.S.
While India's biggest celebrity actors are treated like royalty by an adoring public, they are also the subject of the kind of media gossip that would make a National Enquirer reporter blush. The most popular Indian actors earn about one-twentieth of what their American counterparts make, with top earner Bachchan reportedly barely cracking $1 million per film. And production costs for a Bollywood film are miniscule when weighed against the Hollywood standard. The budget for an Indian blockbuster tops out around $4 million, whereas comparable American films routinely exceed $100 million.
But India's film industry puts ours to shame in terms of the drama that takes place behind the camera. Feuds between actors are carried out in public and often reach epic proportions; death threats, assaults, extortion attempts and murky financing are all part of the game.
In the past couple of months, the government has made several high-profile arrests and started an investigation into the involvement of organized crime in the film industry. Two key players, director
Forthwith, Forbes presents the five most powerful Indian film stars. Our power rankings are based on a proprietary formula weighing salary, number of press clips returned on Lexis-Nexis, and by gauging popularity from searches on Dow Jones Interactive and Google.com.

More Forbes Celebrity 100 Coverage
Amitabh Bachchan
Known to many as "the king of Indian cinema," Big B is the hands-down winner, leading in almost every category we took into consideration. Last December, Bachchan gained the honor of being the first Indian movie star to have his effigy sculpted for Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in London. The 58-year-old actor has been in more than 100 films since 1969. His biggest hit, Sholay (Flames), packed theaters throughout its enormously successful five-year run in India.
Won last year's BBC "Star of the Millennium" poll. Revived his flagging career when he became host of India's version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
Hrithik Roshan
The son of
Roshan is scheduled to be in more than 10 films in the next two years. Created an uproar earlier this year when rumors spread that he told an interviewer he hated Nepal and its people. Riots ensued.
* A previous version of this story stated that Roshan was 23.
Aamir Khan
The son of renowned director
Returned to Bhuj, India, last month after an earthquake devastated the Gujurat village where he shot Lagan, Once Upon a Time in India. Khan was very active in raising relief money for victims of the quake, which claimed an estimated 30,000 lives and left tens of thousands homeless.
Aishwarya Rai
Rai rocketed to international fame after winning the 1994 Miss World contest. Before that, she was a model and architecture student. The 27-year-old actress has appeared in 20 films since taking the crown, nine of them last year. While some critics have panned her acting abilities, lucrative endorsements for Palmolive, Casio pager, Pepsi and Philips Television, and the highest rating on our Web-search ranking, catapult her into the top five.
The new Miss Universe, India's Sushmita Sen, will be gunning for Rai when she begins her acting career this year.
Madhuri Dixit
One of India's most beloved actresses, Dixit has appeared in more than 50 movies since 1986 and has won the Filmfare Best Actress award three times. Like Rai, she was a top model before becoming an actress. Since her 1999 wedding to an American-trained surgeon, rumors have persisted that she will retire.
Caused an uproar when she said she would be more selective in choosing her roles and would avoid typical song-and-dance Bollywood fare.

When you're in a crunch and don't have time to wash, dry, and stylize your hair, one of the easiest ways to look chic and sophisticated without having to use a ton of product is to create the perfect top knot. Creating the perfect not so perfect top knot may sound ironic-but it is a great hairstyle for any occasion. Whether you're dressed up or dressed down, this day to night hairdo is easy, quick, and requires little practice to master. To create this look, start off by using a large flat brush to comb out any knots or tangles in your hair.
Then flip your hair over your head and run the brush through your hair again. This adds a little volume boost while ensuring that your hair is totally tangle-free. While still keeping your hair flipped over, use a hair tie to put your hair in a high ponytail (or wherever you want the bun to be placed on your head). Take the ponytail and twist it around the knot while securing stray hairs with bobby pins. And there you go!

I've been trying to extend sgefant's work on "sound in the sequence editor" by drawing the sequence box with the waveform drawn on it for cueing.
However, the routines in editsound.c are giving me fits. I can't seem to find a reliable way to determine if the bSample associated with any particular bSound is valid. Even if I call sound_load_sample(sound) everytime I try to access the data, I eventually get garbage back in the sample data (and I end up throwing a floating point exception as I try to use it).
I think part of the problem stems from the fact that sgefant's code doesn't treat a sound sequence as a sound (the ones listed in G.main->sounds) but I'm not sure.
We have added code to writefile.c and readfile.c that seem to be saving/loading the bSound struct. Do we need to save the bSample too? I don't think so, since it's transient, but I could be wrong.
Bob (aka Det. Thorn)
Anyone have info on editsound.c???

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Alexey Shved scored 10 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter and Kevin Love overcame a nasty stomach bug to collect 15 points and 14 rebounds in the Minnesota Timberwolves' 95-85 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.
Nikola Pekovic had 14 points and tied a career high with 16 rebounds and J.J. Barea added 15 points and five assists for the Wolves, who are getting star guard Ricky Rubio back at practice this weekend for the first time since he tore an ACL last March.
Larry Sanders had a career-high 10 blocks to go with 10 points and 12 rebounds and Brandon Jennings had 18 points and six boards for the Bucks, who lost backup point guard Beno Udrih to a right leg injury in the fourth quarter.
Love was a game-time decision, but was almost forced to gut it out given the Wolves' long list of injuries. He missed 13 of his first 17 shots and was clearly laboring throughout the game. He was able to dig deep enough for a key putback during an 11-0 run in the fourth quarter that put the Wolves in control for good, and Shved really did the rest.
After the Wolves managed just 11 points in a dreadful third quarter, Shved scored the team's first seven points of the fourth. He also hit Luke Ridnour with a beautiful cross-court feed for a jumper and drilled a deep 3 with the shot clock winding down that put the game out of reach with 1:15 to play.
The rookie been every bit the playmaker he was in leading the Russians to the bronze medal in London, and coach Rick Adelman is leaning on him more and more to get the Wolves through this onslaught of injuries, a string that continued on Friday night.
Andrei Kirilenko missed his second straight game with back spasms while guard Malcolm Lee was out with a sore left groin. Lee was thrust into the starting rotation the last eight games due to injuries to Brandon Roy and Chase Budinger.
J.J. Barea started in Lee's place, but the Wolves were able to stack up a little better against the smaller Bucks backcourt of Monta Ellis and Jennings. The super-quick duo has struggled in the efficiency department for much of the season, and that again was the case in Minnesota. Ellis was 8 for 22 while Jennings went 6 for 19.
Ellis had 18 points and Jon Henson had 10 points and seven boards.
Ridnour scored 16 points for Minnesota.
NOTES: Udrih had to be helped off the court after getting tangled with Love on a drive to the basket with eight minutes left. Joel Przybilla had to shoot the free throws for him and went 0 for 2, much to the delight for a home crowd that has booed him ever since he left the University of Minnesota early 13 years ago. ... The Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Sasha McHale, the 23-year-old daughter of former Wolves coach and executive and current Rockets coach Kevin McHale. A funeral for Sasha was held this week after she died from Lupus.

Demolition starts on Des Moines hospital
The walls are coming down at the downtown building once home to Mercy Capitol Hospital, also known as Des Moines General Hospital.
The state bought the building three years ago after the hospital moved out west, but has since found it too expensive and inefficient to operate.
Demolition crews are now tearing down the building at 603 East 12th Street.
It will be replaced by green space for now with future plans for the property to be developed into a new parking garage.
The building on the northeast edge of the capitol complex has a long history. In 1909, now Des Moines University purchased the Iowa Sanitarium building and opened Des Moines General Hospital. The school sold the hospital in 1916.
It was bought by Mercy in 1993 and eventually closed in 2000 when a new hospital was added in West Des Moines.

NBC's "America's Got Talent" is moving from New Jersey to New York City's Radio City Music Hall.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the announcement Wednesday.
The eighth season of the popular talent competition will air live from the landmark theater twice a week, starting July 23.
U.S. & World
The show is relocating from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.
Cuomo says the move will create more than 500 jobs and generate $100 million each season. New York State recently extended its Film Production Tax Credit to attract television shows to the state.
Supermodel Heidi Klum was recently added to "America's Got Talent" as a judge. Klum will take her place on the panel alongside fellow new addition and former Spice Girl singer Mel B. and returning judges Howie Mandel and Howard Stern.

Authorities announce a second person has been arrested and charged in connection with the shooting deaths of two firefighters in Webster, NY.
Updated: 4:58 p.m. ET: An upstate New York woman was arrested Friday and hit with federal and state charges connected to the fatal shootings of two volunteer firefighters on Christmas Eve.
The woman, Dawn Nguyen, 24, was charged with knowingly making a false statement in the purchase of guns used in the slayings, U.S. Attorney William Hochul told a news conference Friday. She was charged earlier on a state violation of filing a falsified business record.
Hochul said Nguyen bought the guns on behalf of William Spengler, 62, who shot four firefighters responding to a fire he had started in his home on Monday outside Rochester, N.Y., killing two of them, before killing himself.
Nguyen "told the seller of these guns, Gander Mountain in Henrietta, that she was to be the true owner and buyer of the guns instead of William Spengler," he said. "It is absolutely against federal law to provide any materially false information related to the acquisition of firearms."
The complaint alleges that Nguyen acted as a "straw purchaser" for Spengler, who, as a convicted felon, could not legally own, acquire or purchase any firearm, Hochul said. The charges are related to an AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun — two of the three weapons found near Spengler's body Monday, according to State Police Investigator James Sewell.
Hochul said that a suicide note left by Spengler "includes information about obtaining the guns" from Nguyen.
Police officers escort Dawn Nguyen on Friday.
The third weapon, a .38-caliber revolver, was not connected to Nguyen, Sewell said.
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported that Nguyen was arrested Friday afternoon at the home in Greece where she has been staying with her mother, Dawn Welsher.
Greece is about 5 miles north of Rochester and 2 miles west of Webster, where Spengler lived.
Watch US News crime videos on NBCNews.com
Nguyen's lawyer, Dave Palmiere, told the newspaper that Nguyen bought the weapons legally and that they had been stolen. He said Nguyen didn't recall whether she reported the guns stolen.
Monroe County Sherif's Dept. / EPA
William Spengler, in a 2006 photo, who authorities say set a house and car on fire on Christmas eve in Webster, N.Y. and then shot and killed two firefighters, and wounded two others who responded to the blaze.
Welsher told the Democrat and Chronicle that neither she nor her daughter, Nguyen, gave or sold Spengler the weapons.
"This is nuts," she said, according to the newspaper. "I never supplied this man with nothing. My daughter never supplied him with anything. He's setting us up."
The federal charge carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine, The Associated Press reported.
Spengler spent 17 years in prison for killing his grandmother in 1980.
After Monday's attack, a body was also discovered in Spengler's burned home. Investigators have said they believe the remains are those of his sister, Cheryl Spengler, 67, who lived with him. In all, seven houses were destroyed in the blaze.
Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Canadiens came out of Tuesday night's draft lottery in the same position they had going in. They'll pick third after Edmonton and Columbus, who switched positions.
This isn't a deep draft, but there's enough talent that Montreal will have a shot at a player who should have an immediate impact. Assuming that Edmonton grabs the top-rated Nail Yakupov and Columbus opts for defenceman Ryan Murray, the Canadiens will have their pick of Mikhail Grigorenko from the Quebec Remparts and Filip Forsberg from Leksand in Sweden.
They have a couple of things in common – they're both centres with some size. Grigorenko is 6-foot-3 and weighs 200 pounds while Forsberg is 6-foot-2 and 180. Grigorenko dropped a spot in the final Central Scouting rankings because there's a perception he's lazy, but I like the idea he made the effort to learn English, which shows a commitment to the NHL. He's a cinch to be a Canadien if Patrick Roy joins the Canadiens between now and June 22.
Whichever player the Canadiens select should be NHL ready, but giving him the opportunity to play in Montreal will take a radical change in the mindset that has guided this team for the past 60 years. The Canadiens believe in bringing players along slowly. The last time a teenager played for the Canadiens in the same year he was drafted was 1985 when defenceman Petr Svoboda made his debut.
The last time the Canadiens had a pick in this neighbourhood was in 2005 when they selected Carey Price fifth overall and he spent the next two years in junior. Louis Leblanc was a first-rounder in 2009, but he spent a season at Harvard, another in junior and would have spent the past season in the AHL if the Canadiens hadn't run into injuries.
Even when he reached Montreal, he was used sparingly despite the fact that he was more productive than Rene Bourque.
This philosophy was sound in the days when the Canadiens' roster was loaded with Hall of Famers, but the Canadiens need immediate help.
The price wasn't right: Let's go back to the night on Jan. 12 when the Canadiens were playing the Boston Bruins. Between the second and third periods, general manager Pierre Gauthier told Michael Cammalleri to take off his uniform and return to the team hotel because he had been traded. Gauthier said he couldn't tell Cammalleri where he was going because the trade – to Calgary for Rene Bourque – had yet to be completed.
A stunned Cammalleri asked if he could keep his game jersey as a souvenir of the good times in Montreal. No problem, said Gauthier, as long as he was willing to pay for it.
When Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald asked Cammalleri about the incident this week, the sniper replied: "I can neither confirm nor deny it." If Cammalleri had confirmed it, he would have revealed that the asking price was $1,250.
The Canadiens used to have a deal with Mei-Gray, a U.S. company that sells game-worn jerseys, but the team now handle sales through the Canadiens boutique and online. If Cammalleri still wants the jersey, it's available for $600.

Open Internet Might be Dead Thanks to Federal Appeals Court Ruling [Video]
The Internet as we know it may have died Tuesday -- and nobody even noticed.
Thanks to the U.S. Court of Appeals decision, Internet service providers (ISPs) can now decide which websites work faster, which ones to charge you for and even which ones to block you from.
Up until now, the Internet has basically been a free-for-all. You pay for your service and you get to do whatever you want — whether that's watching Netflix, trading stocks or downloading music or porn or anything else — at the speed you pay for.
A Verizon Communications appeals case against the FCC over its net-neutrality or open Internet rules has just changed the entire game, and possibly not for the better.
The U.S. Court of Appeals threw out those FCC rules on how ISPs manage the delivery of their service, giving control back to those companies.
What does all of this mean for you?
Well, let's run a worst-case scenario.
You spend most of your time streaming movies on Netflix. However, your ISP owns a service that competes with Netflix. So, it can slow down the speed at which Netflix is delivered to you (making your viewing experience horribly laggy). Or it could just block the service from you entirely.
Sounds fun, right?
What about this? Your favorite website is Huffington Post. You went there every day prior to your ISP's new tiered-Internet packaging. You couldn't afford the unlimited package and the more reasonably-priced basic Internet package doesn't include access to certain premium websites like Huffington Post.
Yeah, they might be able to turn the Internet into a pay-cable system now.
We're not saying it's going to happen, but when was the last time you remember a corporation giving you something for free when they could just as easily make you pay through the nose for it?
There is still a glimmer of hope, though.
A policy like the FCC's now-debunked one is not completely dead.
The federal policy just need to get reworked and put into place.

After a long streak of cold weather it was nearly summer-like over the weekend. The dogs and I took advantage of it and hit the dog park.
It was warm enough for me to kick back and take in the view.
The dogs ran themselves silly. Once they calmed down Luka found a tennis ball and kept himself amused for nearly half an hour.
At one point the ball went under the ice and Luka had to work to retrieve it.
He finally found it and jumped out of the stream.
And then he nearly poked his eye out.
Sadie did a bit of splashing in the water.
But at this point she was quite tired and ready to go home.
Luka finally tired himself out and fell asleep shortly after we'd left the park.
The recent cold weather has meant a lot of sleeping around here.
The cold weather has brought out the snugly side of Milo.
Finally, Romeo let me snap a picture of his gorgeous blue eyes.

Rio+20: Holy See and G77 Fight to Erase Women From Sustainable Development Agenda
In 1992, women's human rights advocates played a critical role in shaping Agenda 21, ensuring that "three pillars" of sustainable development (social, environmental and economic) remained central to the sustainable development agenda, and that women remained central to all three pillars. Today, conservative forces are fighting to return to the past.
See all our coverage of Rio+20 here.
In 1992, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, the "Earth Summit," was the first of a series of United Nations global conferences that sought progress on sustainable development, including human rights, population change, social development, women's human rights and gender equality. The ambitious plans of action resulting from the Rio, Vienna, Cairo, and Beijing Conferences have set the blueprint for the development agenda over the last two decades. In addition to Agenda 21, the Earth Summit also resulted in three ground-breaking international treaties or conventions – the Convention on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. Rio set the tone for what was a global effort in envisioning what "could be possible" to improve the lives of people and the planet.
This week, 55,000 people are expected to attend Rio +20, including at least 115 world leaders who will participate in the high-level segment from June 20th to 22nd. At 80 pages, the expected outcome document, titled "The Future We Want," still remains largely under negotiation. Governments began negotiating Wednesday with only 30 percent of the text already set, and with only three scheduled days of negotiations left. It remains to be seen whether we will agree on "The Future We Want," or if the Brazilian government, in a last ditch attempt, will pull out a short political declaration to be signed by heads of state and thus "save face" with minimal commitments, including any commitment to achieving gender equality.
In 1992, women's human rights advocates played a critical role in shaping Agenda 21 and ensured that "three pillars" of sustainable development (social, environmental and economic) remained central to the sustainable development agenda. However, negotiations for Rio+20 have been fraught with attempts to take "people" and social development out of the equation and lay the solutions at the altar of market driven forces through the "green economy." For women and young people, this means that fundamental issues affecting them, such as their right to health and education, are in danger of being sidelined. Human rights have also generally been forgotten. While the European Union, the United States, Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland, Liechenstein, and Iceland have attempted to incorporate goals for the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of women as critical elements of sustainable development in the outcome document, there has been a shameful display by the G77 and China to try to roll back internationally-agreed language on women's human rights.
Sex. Abortion. Parenthood. Power.
The latest news, delivered straight to your inbox.
Agenda 21 acknowledges that environmental policy must take into account protecting the rights of women; that strategies for poverty eradication must include empowering women's groups; and that women should have full, access to land, resources, and ownership; It also includes full recognition of women's rights in health including reproductive health. Now, however, during negotiations, a few countries within the G77, mainly led by Egypt, are attempting to block references to women's human rights and sexual and reproductive health and rights, and to women's right to inherit land and other productive resources. The Holy See, a non-member-state permanent member of the United Nations — without legitimacy to speak on behalf of a citizenry of its own — is seeking to impose their values on Catholics and non-Catholics alike by watering down references to gender equality, women's human rights, and sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Luckily, women's human rights advocates are in Rio. We are working hard to ensure that the gains of the past 20 years are upheld. We will make the point, again and again, and as long as it takes, that the human rights and health of half the world's population are not only vital to achieving sustainable development, but that there is no other way to realize that goal.

The Nagaland state is mostly hilly and mountainous, with agriculture being the major occupation of the Nagaland tribes. Plan a tour with Nagaland Tourist Places. The picturesque valley of Nagaland is one of the most beautiful and famous spots for nature lovers. The place is strewn and shining with blooming flowers in the months of June and September. Dzukou Valley is the most famed valley of Nagaland and which is also called as the valley of "celestial charm" and "Eternal Charm". This natural beauty of the place will surely capture tourist's heart while travelling through the land of Nagaland.
This valley is situated in the Kohima district. In order to see this Paradise on earth one has to negotiate steep difficult terrain. If you are not a regular trekker you may find a bit of difficult to climb this steep mountains, but not an impossible task. After the strong climb as one sees the valley you forget all the pain that you have been through. So whenever you are planning tour India include Nagaland tourist places in your list.
This beautiful land of abundant natural beauty has immense tourist attraction. The ethnic tribes, their habitat, arts and handicrafts and the locales attract many.

Nagaland Tourist Places are worth to visit. Rhododendrons are additionally a joy when they are in full sprout throughout spring season. Distinctive endemic species of rhododendrons could be discovered here. These are blooming across its evergreen hilly slopes. Despite the fact that Dzukou is known for its biodiversity, the prevalent plant is the strong bamboo brush in light of which, it would seem that a completely mown Lawn from a remote place.
Dzukou Valley is one of the best trekking spots of North East India. The valley has a portion of the best natural caves, rocks and hills. Trekkers take to the greenery of the valley and its troublesome terrain to explore the caves as well as enjoy the rushing streams. This valley of ethereal wonderfulness remains untouched by development. In summers its serene bays and burbling streams are encompassed with wild herbs and bushes. Pink and white lilies sprout and the aconitum and euphorbia's as well as countless other organic species sprout throughout the storms. Rhododendrons, orchids and lilies are a pleasure for each nature mate. The swirling streams of the valley stops throughout the winter blanket the trees with snowflakes, wonderfulness that untruths just in the eyes of the viewer. Nagaland Tourist Places are also considered as one of the famous tourist places in India.

When John Tortorella's name first surfaced in connection with the Vancouver Canucks, the response was essentially, "This is a joke, right?"
Tortorella, after all, was the complete antithesis of everything Mike Gillis's administration supposedly represents. Gillis was a man of reason and intellect. He was a new-age thinker who based organizational decisions on cool logic, metrics and analytics. The Canucks under Gillis were many things. But they were always rational and thoughtful.
Until this.
Tortorella is the kind of knee-jerk decision that other organizations make, not the Canucks. Yes, he represents a personality type diametrically opposed from his predecessor Alain Vigneault. But he also represents a personality type diametrically opposed to Gillis's core values. He is loud and profane; narcissistic and temperamental. He is emotional to the point of irrationality. Tortorella, in fact, is so far removed from Gillis and his methods that this hire had to originate from somewhere else; somewhere, and we're just spitballing here, like Canucks ownership.
And when ownership gets involved in decisions of this magnitude, it's a sure sign the organization is in a state of dysfunction.
The Canucks have built their brand on touchy-feely sentiments like We're All Canucks and Our Team Our Way. True, those slogans had a Hallmark feel to them but, in good times, they sent the message that in the city and the province we're all invested in the Canucks; that the team conducted itself in a certain manner, played in a certain way, represented certain values.
Tortorella, and we're trying to be diplomatic here, isn't exactly consistent with that message.
That he is obnoxious is a given. And the hope here is we get the full Tortorella, the vainglorious, I'm-smarter-and-more-important-than-everyone-here guy we saw in New York. That way, at least he'd be true to himself, and that will make things very interesting around the Canucks for the foreseeable future.
Francesco Aquilini, the man presumably behind this decision, is labouring under the misapprehension that the team needs a butt-kicker, a motivator to shake it out of its lethargy. That would be fine if this was 1964. But you don't reach players with the drill-sergeant approach anymore. Today's player has to be self-motivated and maniacally driven or he never reaches the NHL. The thought that players like the Sedins, Alex Burrows, Cory Schneider and Kevin Bieksa grew fat and lazy under Vigneault's watch is insulting to them and their years of service to the Canucks.
But, in much the way exasperated parents think military school would benefit their wayward teenager, Aquilini thinks Tortorella is just the man to set the Canucks straight. That's fine in theory. But in reality, Tortorella's personality is simply an impossible fit for this organization. If the Canucks were about egos and stars, then maybe this might work. But under Gillis's watch they've been about something else. They've been about the collective. They've policed themselves. Most of those players have also taken substantially less to play in this environment.
How is Tortorella going to go over with them?
If there was a country-club atmosphere with the Canucks, it started with Gillis's vision for the team. He was the GM who was going to make Vancouver a destination franchise for other players. He was the one who was going to provide every conceivable edge — meals, sleep doctors, mind rooms, sports psychologists — to the players. If that led to an overdeveloped sense of entitlement, that's on Gillis.
The real problem with the Canucks in 2013, of course, had nothing to do with that and everything to do with miscalculations on a number of fronts by the front office. The ongoing Roberto Luongo soap opera not only cost the team prime assets, it was a distraction throughout the season. Gillis acquisitions Keith Ballard and David Booth contributed very little. Organizational depth was eradicated by five years of bad drafting. The deadline acquisition of Derek Roy was a bust.
If Aquilini thinks Tortorella is going to fix all that, good luck. But what this feels like is another desperate coaching hire from Canucks history: the Mike Keenan era.
Keenan, if you need reminding, was supposed to restore order to a listing Canucks team in the late '90s. Instead, he brought two years of chaos; two years in which the organization completely alienated its fan base; two years in which the Canucks became irrelevant. They came out of that turmoil largely unscathed, mostly because Brian Burke was able to rebuild the team in two short years.
And who knows. Maybe they'll get lucky again.
They're going to need it.

So the okay for a return was given. I had not even opened one package of the cords and clips so all were still in the clear wrappings like new. Absolutely everything was like new except I had put a date on the box. I got docked $40 for marking the outside of the box.
That kind of service is purely a crock of crap! (Posted on 7/17/2020)

Prior to my purchase I had one last question which was thoroughly answered over the phone by the customer service person. I ordered the 220W combo kit with the iCharger 106B+ and 220 Watt power supply as well as other accessories that I needed to complete it. The website is well laid out and makes it easy to navigate and get everything that I have needed.
I will certainly be passing on my recommendation for Progressive to others friends of mine that need charging supplies. (Posted on 3/3/2015)

- works well but noisyReview by Gerald
Quality Value Service
My only concern is the power supply noise. The airflow through the supply reminds me of a 747 warming up, whether or not the charger is connected. The fan starts at what sound like full blast but ramps up a bit during the first 30 seconds or so after turning it on. Interesting that several reviews say the supply is quiet but others say it's noisy. I definitely fall into the noisy category.
I emailed PRC a week ago asking about the noise but have yet to receive a response. (Posted on 3/4/2013)

Conversations about the future of our planet often emphasize the problems or perilous trends we are facing. With Mapting, we change the focus of the conversation and show that solutions exist. We spread a positive message by sharing pictures and videos of every action taken to achieve the SDGs.
Take pictures of everyday acts that will help achieve the SDGs and help spread a positive message by sharing them on the map.
Open the world map to see what has already been done to achieve the SDGs around you or browse the App feed to look at all pictures & videos.
Use comments to get in touch with users from all over the world, exchange ideas, tips and, why not, coordinate a project together.
Click on the Global Goals Icon to find out more about each of the 17SDGs or on the Earth Charter Icon to learn about fundamental values and principles to foster more sustainable ways of living.
Share pictures or videos of actions you are taking part in or solutions you are implementing to unlock bonus principles and improve your user profile.
Take your Mapting pictures further and share them on Facebook to help spread a positive message about the future of our planet.
The story behind Mapting is one of a strong partnership between two organizations - Soka Gakkai International and Earth Charter International - and the core belief that one individual's action can make a difference. While the concept of the app, as it is today, was born in Costa Rica early 2016, the process that led to it started nearly 15 years ago with the coproduction of two worldwide exhibitions, "Seeds of Change" in 2002 and "Seeds of Hope" in 2012, highlighting ordinary individuals who took action to initiate change. This specific approach is what laid the foundations of Mapting, the rest was a lot of brainstorming sessions, countless e-mails, lots of coding and great team work.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is not still familiar with citizen, especially youth, but it is absolutely essential to get youth involved with the implementation process of the SDGs becausethe world is home to the largest generation of youth in history (1.2 billion aged 15-24 worldwide). Based on this recognition, the SGI and the ECI produced this app which will hopefully be a 'first encounter' with SDGs for youth. SDGs are hard to understand, but the app will make it easier.
We are bombarded with news, images, and videos about how things are going wrong, and we rarely hear of all the things going right. Let's show each other the positive things we're seeing, doing, and creating every day that are healing and transforming our communities.
Mapting is a great App because it brings a new and entertaining approach to discover and talk about the SDGs. It is about sharing everyday solutions; about saying that no matter the size of these solutions, they all make a difference and about showing there is hopefor the future. That, to me, is truly inspiring.

The Rule V draft affected the Cubs likely more than any other team in baseball this year. Theo & Co. lost Starling Peralta in the major league portion, and Michael Burgess/Matt Cerda/Alvy Jimenez in the minor league portion.
However, it wasn't all bad for the Cubs, as they landed a flamethrower in Hector Rondon. Will he stick? I think the chance is very good that he does.
Rondon was plucked out Venezuela by the Indians organization in 2006, and Hector had worked his way through the system relatively quickly for an 18-year old. He skipped A- and worked all the way up to AAA as a 21-year old, grabbing 11 starts of 4.00 ERA ball for Columbus in 2009. His line that year was very decent: 4.92 SO/BB with a 1.291 WHIP. If that was the whole story, Rondon would very likely be a starter for the Indians by now; unfortunately, that's where Rondon's injuries start. He had TJS in 2010, and then fractured the same elbow after recovering in 2011. Rondon hasn't really pitched in the minors since, only getting 7 innings of work at the tail end of 2012. Scouts have liked what they've seen so far in the Venezuelan League so far, but injuries will dictate whether or not he has a future.
Pitch Selection
Rondon works in the low 90s with a fastball that occasionally touches 96. He has a decent changeup as well, as well as a poor slider that won't play in the majors at this point. The lack of a breaking pitch pretty much forces him into a bullpen role, which is where he'll play for the Cubs
Rondon has consistenly shown very good control in the minor leagues, carrying a 1.9 BB/9 with an 8.1 K/9. The fastball can get hitters to swing and miss, and he can put the ball (generally) where he wants to. He could thrive in a true fireman role eventually but will probably see mopup/MR duties for the Cubs in 2012.
The way the Rule V draft works, the Cubs will need to keep Rondon either on the Major League roster or on the DL (only for a certain amount of time) for the whole season. His injuries will dictate whether that's possible. If it is, the chance that Rondon sticks is very high. The Cubs could use a power pen arm that has legitimate #3 upside (if he develops a slider), and if the cost if essentially free, Theo & Co won't pass that up.

Story highlights
- The U.S.'s preterm birth rate is at a 15-year low
- Nearly all states lowered their premature birth rate
- Vermont had the lowest number, Mississippi the highest
Although the United States' preterm birth rate decreased for the sixth consecutive year, a new report gives the nation a "C" grade.
The 2012 preterm birth rate dropped to 11.5%, a 15-year low, according to the March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card. Preterm or premature births are defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation.
However, the report cautions, America's preterm birth rate remains the highest among industrialized countries.
Preterm birth is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive often face serious and sometimes lifelong health problems such as developmental delays or vision loss, according to the organization.
"A premature birth costs businesses about 12 times as much as uncomplicated healthy birth," March of Dimes President Dr. Jennifer L. Howse said in a statement. "As a result, premature birth is a major driver of health insurance costs, not only for employers."
The preterm birth rate peaked at 12.8% in 2006 after rising for more than two decades, according to the March of Dimes. The 2012 rate represents a 10% drop and the best rate since 1998.
Compared with 2006, nearly all states had lower preterm birth rates in 2012.
Thirty-one states, Washington and Puerto Rico all saw improvements. Six states -- Alaska, California, Oregon, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine -- received an "A" grade. Three states -- Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana -- received an "F," along with Puerto Rico.
The state with the lowest preterm birth rate was Vermont, with 8.7%. Mississippi was the highest, with 17.1%.
But the March of Dimes said California's success is noteworthy, as the state sees half a million births each year -- the most of any state -- and "has a racially diverse population in a mix of urban, suburban and rural communities that have a variety of healthcare and economic needs."
The organization compared birth rates with its goal of 9.6% by 2020.
Contributing factors were also tracked. For instance, 37 states, along with Washington and Puerto Rico, reduced the percentage of uninsured women of childbearing age. Thirty-five states and Washington reduced the percentage of women of childbearing age who smoked, and 28 states, Washington and Puerto Rico lowered the rate of late preterm births: infants born between 34 and 36 weeks gestation.

DaVinci Resolve is scalable and supports multiple GPUs all working together as found in the new MacPro, as well as the latest Windows and Linux computers. You get support for up to 8 GPUs so that you can build dedicated systems that are super fast and deliver blazing real time performance. That's important when you are working on high pressure projects with a room full of clients! Whether you are working in your own post production suite or grading the next Hollywood blockbuster, workstations running DaVinci Resolve can be super charged to keep up with you and your clients!
Work faster with absolute control!
When you have a client looking over your shoulder you need to work fast. The DaVinci Resolve control surface lets you adjust multiple parameters simultaneously, making grading faster. The control surface features dedicated buttons, knobs and perfectly weighted trackballs that give you the subtle control you need for creating the most amazing looks! You get 32 soft knobs with automatic LCD labels so you'll never have to page through multiple menus to find common adjustments. Save and recall grades to memory, load gallery stills and more at the push of a button while you keep grading at full speed!
Ensure complex jobs are well organized.
Saving and managing media is a critical part of every project! DaVinci Resolve's new clone tool will back up your valuable camera files on location so you can check your footage before striking the set! The clone tool copies your camera files to multiple destinations with checksum validation for safekeeping. DaVinci Resolve can also edit metadata, sync sound and organize footage for editing, color grading or visual effects. DaVinci Resolve helps you manage media on local drives or over your network and because it works with virtually every camera and video format you don't need to convert files to begin editing or grading!
Finish and deliver to virtually any format!
Whether you're creating a master for TV release, a digital cinema package for theatrical distribution or finishing for delivery over the internet, DaVinci Resolve includes powerful delivery options for versioning, finishing and delivery at any resolution. You can export your media in a variety of formats with optional burn-ins, output EXR or DPX files for visual effects work and uncompressed 10 bit or ProRes files for editing in applications like Final Cut Pro X. DaVinci Resolve works from your camera originals so you always get the highest quality output. That means your finished master is a first generation graded copy of the original camera RAW files!
Unique YRGB 32 bit float processing.
DaVinci's high quality image processing is so revolutionary it won an Emmy™ award for contributions to the television industry! All image processing is at the deepest 32 bit floating point and DaVinci Resolve uses a unique YRGB color space for grading. This allows you to adjust the luminance gain of your video without rebalancing the color of your whites, mids, or blacks. That means you won't have to chase the correction you're aiming for! 32 bit processing combined with YRGB color science gives you a dramatically wider color correction range, so you can generate looks that other systems simply cannot match!

Sourdough work in progress (part II)Sunday, October 18th, 2009
A sourd dough bread made from a spontaneous starter
After 7 days of feeding my sour dough starter "took off" and was ready for baking. Even with a water bath set to 28 °C it took longer than expected. I started off with 100% hydration as this is convenient when you have to feed your starter frequently. Using only whole grain rye flour and water, I fed my starter every 12 hours (I've included details of the "feeding schedule" at the end of this post). This time interval is based on the growth cycle of yeast, where the yeast after an exponential growth phase reaches a plateau after 8-12 hours. This is the best time for feeding the starter.
There seems to be a consensus that a wet starter (more…)

For italian people see also the original post and the review of this thesis.
I dedicate this post to the Joint Research Centre – European Commission of Ispra and to Carlo Ferigato who selected for this work one of my fellow student…
Well, she is certainly a skilful cataloguer, but I don't know if she is able to manage thesaurus or ontologies.
I must say great game and good luck mates 🙂
Maybe this post could also help her (and them) ;-).
This post is about multilingual thesaurus or ontologies.
The problem is underlined in several translations of Vanda Broughton's manual Essential Thesaurus Construction: hierarchical relations (narrower term and broader term) could be different according to the language.
A simple example.

3 Summer Solutions for Your Face
3 Summer Skin Solutions
by Kristin Booker
It's the annoying end-of-summer skin dilemma: How do you adjust makeup you bought months ago to match your darker skin tone now—without spending a fortune on all-new products? Three attractive solutions:
|Layer a tinted moisturizer over your foundation in a slightly darker shade, like NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $42.
A good tinted moisturizer is a wise investment anyway. It will help with the summer transition and you can use it during winter and spring (or 16-hour work days) when your skin needs a pick-me-up.
Try the professional trick of adding a touch of bronzer to your foundation to deepen the shade. Kill two birds with one compact by picking up MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation ($24), which you can also use by itself in a pinch, more than justifying the cost.
Or, if you really need to buy a new color for a month or two, get your money's worth with an inexpensive product that's packed with anti-aging and skin-boosting properties, like CoverGirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation ($14).

To be successful as a cave hunter, that is a person who searches the countryside for caves, you must combine a variety of skills. In particular, by experience, the mind now tips me off to areas that are likely cave locations. A sound knowledge of sedimentary geology is helpful, understanding a little about physical geography will certainly add to your success, and most importantly, cave geography really tips the scales. In Ontario it helps to understand something about how glaciers influenced the landscape and of course the human interaction on top of that – in particular the tendencies of farmers over the last 150 years and their preference for plugging openings in their fields with coils of wire and other household debris.
Jeff and I went out searching this past weekend and we found a likely cave location on this area of land above a valley. Thus far researchers have visited and dye traced the most obvious spring out to a resurgence in the side of the nearby valley. We followed along and tried to intercept a possible tunnel entrance. It seems to be that in some cases tunnels get bigger deeper in. In this case we found a large soil pipe that had the sound of rushing water flowing beneath its clayish plug.
See the video here to learn more about how we search for caves in Ontario.
The above picture is a spot near where we found our promising soil pipes – it is a blind valley where a small stream disappears under ground.

APASS-south is running smoothly. Kevin Ivarsen (UNC) has implemented the SkyNet clamshell control program on our computer, so the clamshell now opens and closes automatically. I no longer have to get up at 4:30am to close things down! Tom Smith has changed the "park" position so that the telescope is closer to its initalizing "home" position (saving time on startup). I'm currently analyzing the raster-scan images to create the residual maps that are used to correct the photometry for scattered light. Stephen Levine has done the astrometric corrections for all images taken to date. We are still on track for Data Release 2 around the end of January. It remains clear at CTIO; our last cloudy night was November 6!
APASS-north has had its twin astrographs delivered. Tom Smith has built the lamp projection system for the flat-fielding setup, has added flocking in appropriate places, and will be installing the astrographs in the next day or two. There are some USB port issues with the current computer that we hope will be allieviated with a new computer card that should be delivered soon. Tom still needs to set focus on the astrographs, create a pointing model and do some preliminary testing before we start running the northern survey. With luck, new data will be available within a couple of weeks. We have a couple of nights of testing using some far less expensive 150mm f/5 refractors that I will analyze in a week or two.
