Lauryn Hill Pens Open Letter About Tax Trouble, Confirms Record Deal
Category: Entertainment Written by News One
The legendary, troubled Lauryn Hill, 37, has penned an open letter to fans speaking about her recent tax troubles and confirming that we can expect new music from her, something that has been highly anticipated for years.
Ever since the release of 1998′s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, fans have been longing for more life lessons from Hill. The album sold over 19 million copies worldwide and won the former Fugees front-woman five Grammy awards. Since that time, Hill has taken time off to give birth to 5 more children and her music has arguably been hit or miss.
Read some of her letter below:
...It has been reported that I signed a new record deal, and that I did this to pay taxes. Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released. And yes, I am working on new music.
I've remained silent, after an extensive healing process. This has been a 10+ year battle, for a long time played out behind closed d

The O'Jays Sue Crown Royal For 'Humiliating' Commercial [VIDEO]
Category: Entertainment Written by Roz Edward, National Content Director
Legendary soul group The O'Jays are tired of these backstabbing companies. The soul music superstars just filed a lawsuit against Crown Royal Whiskey over the use of their biggest hit "For the Love of Money."
The O'Jays claim the liquor company used a portion of their song for a commercial featuring NBA legend"Dr. J" Julius Irving. Apparently, the use of "For the Love of Money" humiliated The O'Jays. Although the song is used in the TV spot, an unidentified rapper drops new lyrics about Crown Royal for the ad. The two original members of the group Eddie Levert and Walter Williams, Sr. also hurled insults at the rapper. The O'Jays called the rapper a "poseur with limited ability to carry a tune" who spit a "self-aggrandizing childish rap."
Williams and Levert are asking the court to award them more than a million dollars in damages. A judge has yet to make a ruling.
I totally understand where The O'Jays are coming from when it comes to people using their music without permission, but after viewing the commercial, I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out when the commercial began to humiliate them. In my opinion, it's actually one of the better liquor ads in a while. You tell me what you think below.

Leicester will arrive at Kingsholm (kick-off 2.15pm) with a better away league record this season than at Welford Road.
Tigers have won twice on their travels - against Newcastle and Sale Sharks - but it is three defeats and a draw on home soil, which has contributed to an unfamiliar Premiership position of 10th.
Only bottom club Newcastle have lost more league fixtures than Leicester this term, yet the Premiership's highly-competitive nature means that while the Tigers may be six places behind Gloucester, the gap between them is only five points.
"Their 10th position in the table doesn't reflect on the ability of their squad," Gloucester head coach Redpath said.
"It just reflects on their injury list and the World Cup period.
"They will be fighting in every game now because they need to push for that top four, and that is what Leicester always target.
"It's not going to be easy, and it shouldn't be easy. We have to earn our wins, and we didn't do that last week (against Harlequins)."
Leicester are unbeaten in the Heineken Cup this season, and rugby director Richard Cockerill accepts a key phase of the campaign is upon his players.
"This is a big month of fixtures with Gloucester and Northampton, and then the European double-header against Clermont Auvergne," he said.
"Gloucester have a good pack and a dangerous set of backs, and Kingsholm is always a tough place to go.
"But we put in a good all-round performance against Ulster last weekend. Our defence was good throughout and we got the basics of the game right and came through in the end."
Gloucester show two changes from the side beaten at home by Harlequins in European action last weekend.
Olly Morgan has recovered from a shoulder injury to reclaim the number 15 shirt, while a back-row shuffle sees Luke Narraway packing down at number eight and Alasdair Strokosch moving to blindside flanker. Jonny May and Scott Lawson drop to the bench.
Leicester welcome back a quartet of players for the trip to the west country as centre Billy Twelvetrees, prop Martin Castrogiovanni, lock George Skivington and flanker Ben Woods all feature.
Injuries sideline Andy Forsyth and Geoff Parling, while England pair Ben Youngs and Dan Cole are on replacement duty.

Winston, Or (KMTR) Wildlife Safari has come up with a way to get their bears the medical attention they need, while keeping staff safe. It's called "sleeve training", a way to give bears their shots, even administer care, all without spooking the animals with a tranquillizer filled dart.
The bears use what's called a "sleeve", basically a P.V.C. pipe retrofitted to the bear's fenced in area. Every time they stick their paw in it, they get some treats. It's normally used to give shots or draw blood, but can also be used to treat minor injuries to the bear's paws.
It also helps to build a level of trust between the animals and their vets. Instead of associating a veterinarian with scary shots or darts, staff says the animals get excited, knowing they'll receive a snack for their patience.

Everyone needs a browser, but it can be hard to decide which one you actually want. Are you looking for something blazing fast?

This is an Classic my Grandma Loved!I reconized the fragrance when I bought a 25pc sample of perfumes! I bought some for my Mom and myself. Its a little pricey here, but at least its a big bottle and only takes a litte bit! very centimental ,this fragrance was created in 1927 as a gift from Mother (Jeanne-Marie Lanvin) to her Daughter (Marguerite)on her 13th Birthday! Marguerite named it "Arpege" after her favorite music note! Its one of the top 3 fanous fragrances in the world! the other 2 are Chanel #5, and Joy!

Is your company not making enough money? Are you not at the top of your industry? Want to know the best way to beat your
In this post, we're going to explain how you can beat your
competition by following the rule of "copying plus one."
Our Findings
The Rule of "Copying Plus One"
Too often in business, companies get caught focusing too much on
their own operations and not enough on what's happening around them. By not monitoring external forces, businesses
fail to keep up with industry standards and customer expectations, leaving them
always a step behind.
Although businesses do need to monitor internal efficiency and
effectiveness, oftentimes the biggest routes to organizational success are found
externally. So, this when we bring in the
rule of "copying plus one"…
When we say "copying plus one," this is what we mean: Do the same
things that the competition is doing, but do them better/differently, more of
them, or both—simple enough. Here's an
example of doing what the competition is doing, but doing it better/differently:
- You're "Company A" and you want to increase your sales of chicken
wings—a product that your customers like to buy in larger quantities (2 x 12
pieces; 24 per purchase).
- You find that a competitor—"Company B"—is getting a ton of sales
via their promotion of chicken wings at 24 for $20.00 (usually sold at $12.00
for 12 pieces).
- To increase sales and beat your competition, you offer chicken
wings at 12 for $9.98 with a free medium soft drink. This is not only a better deal than Company B's
promotion, but it has minimal cost difference and also serves customers who
prefer smaller orders—i.e. it's "copying plus one."
Doing things better/different than the competition can be done in
many more ways, such as:
- offering a better/different loyalty program
- partnering with top organizations in other industries to improve
your services or general productivity
- securing a headline presentation time—instead of a regular time—at
a conference
- having a better booth location than a competitor at a trade show
- and many more!
Now, here's an example of doing more of the same things that the
competition is doing:
- You're "Company A" and are competing against "Company B" and
"Company C" for business.
- You currently have free backlinks to your website set up on
"Site A," "Site B," and "Site C."
- You find that "Company B" has free backlinks on "Site A," "Site
C," "Site D," and "Site E."
- You find that "Company C" has free backlinks on "Site B," "Site
D," "Site F," "Site G," and "Site H."
- You continue with backlinks on Sites A-C, while also copying
Company B and C by setting up new backlinks on Sites D-H. By doing this, you'll have a total of eight
backlinks, while Company B and Company C will only have four and five,
respectively. So, you won't just be
equal to Company B or C, but rather farther ahead because you copied them both—i.e.
"copying plus one."
Just like "doing things better," doing more of the same things
that the competition is doing can be applied to many other business activities
as well, such as:
- being on more social media platforms
- getting more "friends" or "followers" than the competition on
those social media platforms by adding all of their friends/followers to your
- sponsoring more community events
- participating in more business networking groups
- and the list goes on!
If you're always "copying plus one" your competitors, the
opportunities to jump ahead of them are endless!
Final Thoughts
In the end, the primary point that we want to get across is that
you should always monitor the competition.
By doing so, you'll have a better chance of finding areas where you can
improve your company as well as new opportunities to move ahead of the
Of course, because resources aren't unlimited in business, you
can't always do everything and more than the competition. But whenever you find something that is free,
requires minimal resources, or is different and interesting enough to pique a
customer's interest, you should always jump on it. If you follow this advice, you'll always find
yourself on top.
Just us!

The Virginia Quarterly Review
Jan 2013
A history of the Hollywood publicity racket.
The phrase "knew how to wear clothes" is a loaded one. To "know how to wear clothes" is another way of saying that Cary Grant embodied class, which is to say high class: Grant wore well-tailored clothes, and he knew how to hold himself in them. But he came from nothing, and the way he wore clothes was just as much of a performance as his refined trans-Atlantic accent, his acrobatic slapstick routines, and his masterful flirtation skills.

FactCheck hits Toomey's ad
On the same day Pat Toomey cited FactCheck.org to undermine a DSCC ad attacking him, the site has found that Toomey's own ad's claims about the stimulus bill are doing a bit of taffy-making with the truth.
The ad states that the stimulus "gave us record debt without creating jobs." Though there is some debate about how many jobs the bill created and how those compare with what the Obama administration forecast, there's no doubt it created at least some jobs. The record debt, FactCheck notes, isn't true either -- at least as a percentage of GDP, which is the best way to put it in historical context. (This year's debt certainly is a record dollar amount.)
The debt at year's end, according to the Congressional Budget Office, will be about 62 percent of GDP. That's the highest since World War II, but not a record. Trivia buffs take note, 1946 takes the cake with debt at 109 percent of GDP.
FactCheck's conclusion: "Toomey would be on safe ground if he said the stimulus added to the debt without creating enough jobs — those would be his opinions, and defensible ones at that. But he can't say it didn't create any jobs and caused a record debt."

Site selection for an industrial plantMar 13 2012, 14:35 | By Infomedia18 A lot of time and thought must be put in before selecting a site. Image: SME Mentor Related
Prakrut Mehta With the markets becoming competitive and demand for industrial land on the rise, site selection is becoming one of the most defining factors. More so, if it is a chemical plant, as it is tagged on with the social and environmental impact. Scrutinising the relevant factors will lead to the determination of the ideal site for setting up of a unit. Site selection can be best described as a logic-driven exercise that needs to be carried out systematically. When it comes to actually finalising a site for a plant set-up, it is an investment decision having a lot of implications. Therefore, this calls for a lot of time and thought before selecting the site. For a manufacturing firm, it is certainly not a real estate investment alone. Compared to the total investment in plant and machinery, the real estate cost component may end up as a 5-10 percent factor. Hence, before finalising the site deal, companies need to consider several issues that have the potential to impact the business prospects. Given below is a generic list of factors, which usually influences the decisions. Political climate: A hassle-free and pro-industrial environment is desired. The broad indicators will be a historical track record of the area. While most established industrial areas will qualify in this aspect, there are few regions in the country that are still not really favourable. A chemical plant set-up in a sensitive densely-populated region may not be the most suitable, if the discharge is toxic even after treatment. One must consider this factor in detail, as some of the issues may be raised after the plant is up and running. This is more applicable if it is a freehold land and not an Industrial Development Corporations allotted land. Site infrastructure: While basic infrastructure like power and water is a must, as on date, availability of these basic facilities vary across regions. Also, it will depend on the type of process plant being set up. A continuous process plant may require continuous power supply where as a Distributed Generation (DG) support system may become unviable. Certain industries may require a large supply of water also. A check on the reservoirs and sources are best advised under such circumstances. Natural gas networks are still being proposed in various parts of the country, which can be a driving factor for many. Location infrastructure: Proximity to ports will be critical, if it is more of an import- or export-oriented unit. Connectivity through air, sea, roads and rail should also be considered. While highways are being widened in various regions, quality of internal roads to industrial estates is still one of the reasons for favouring a site over another. Currently, as the freight train lines are being revamped across the country, locating the site in proximity and in parallel to container rail stations is advantageous. Availability of a common effluent treatment plant or a sewage treatment plant will be important in case of plants having significant effluent discharge. Strategic fit of the macro location: All said and done, the location selected should make business sense. Weightages have to be assigned to criteria in order to finally determine on what to compromise and what not to. If not, there is a possibility that one can be flooded with choices and this will result in more time in taking the final decision. Neighbouring industries: Sometimes the best indicators are the neighbouring industries. It will offer the required insight into the industrial estate related to infrastructure, manpower availability, operations environment, etc. Discussions with existing plants may throw light on factors such as flooding, power outages, lack of water supply during summer season, etc. Also proximity to raw materials or clients may significantly impact the business prospects. A Just-In-Time or continuous supply of the product requirement to the client may result in the attempt to find alternative solutions to any deficiency in the location. Buying existing unit: In case a chemical unit is to be set up on a land, which was utilised in the past for any activity, investigations need to be carried out to assess the physical condition of the land. Discharge to the soil, levels of penetration of the discharge, condition of ground water, etc. need to be analysed. Reusability of an existing unit is mostly not viable as most chemical plant structures are highly customised. Time and cost factors related to demolition/modification, among others, which will affect the operation start-up date, have to be estimated in advance. Buy vs lease: The trend in the past for any large industry set-up has been to own the land or take it on a perpetual lease from the concerned State Governments industrial body. In recent times, many multinational organisations that realise the potential benefits of having a manufacturing unit in the country are considering an initial lease with buy-back options. While a financial analysis may prove that leasing out from a landlord will be more expensive than owning the land over a longer period, many multinational organisations are preferring a lease (or sub-lease in case of an Industrial Development Corporation land), if they are more or less testing the waters in new markets with respect to products manufactured from the particular facility. Special zones: Setting up a unit in Special Economic Zone (SEZ) or Export-oriented units (EoU) or Industrial Development Centre (IDC) is more or less a financial decision. Any organisation must scrutinise the financial benefits associated with these zones in terms or tax rebates, duty waivers and other factors vis-à-vis the business markets the particular unit will be catering to. What today might be more of an EoU may have a fair share of domestic sale in the next five years. Greenfield projects: Most contracts in the chemical industry are taken up by specialised engineering contractors. The degree of land development work required also has to be assessed. The type of land whether marshy or rocky will have implications in the pilings required and have a bearing on the construction timelines. Land orientation or dimensions will also play a part as many-a-time it is not possible for chemical units to spread out or reorient according to the land orientation. Mostly, a square or a well-proportioned rectangular site is preferred. This has to be arrived upon at an early stage as land availability vs required dimensions can be a challenging factor in many markets. Expandability: Very rarely will an organisation invest without plans for expansion. This being the case, an option of expandability is crucial. While ground coverage ratios are in play, it is important to foresee how much area-wise expansion is expected in a certain timeline. If expansion is highly sought-after, availability of adjoining land must be considered at an early stage as land may become scarce in future. Response centres: In case of fire or requirement of medical aid or infrastructure or if a quick response system is desired, government-owned industrial estates are best advised. In such situations, a dedicated body to approach in any emergency will be more readily available than in isolated standalone facilities. Approvals/permissions/land title: The approvals and permissions have to be sought in two perspectives. One is related to land & building, and the other will be related to the activity proposed. The land has to fall in the industrial use zone. With regard to chemical industries, there are further classifications based on the green, orange or red category the process falls under. Raw materials, processes, effluents and finished products will determine the category. Defining the ideal site Though land cost is one of the most important factors while determining the site for setting up of an industrial unit, for a chemical plant it is something that can come into play after various other mandatory criteria are met. An appropriate technical and financial analysis is what will lead one to the best possible site for a long-term set-up.

Some people say it's money, but I think it's networking events that make the world go 'round. They give you an opportunity to establish and maintain connections as well as build a successful brand with a purpose. An industry event is the catalyst to take networking to the next level.
With the summer season upon us, hopefully, I have gathered a list of upcoming events that you should make an appearance at in Chicago. Some are invite only, some are only for women and some are open to everyone but, to ensure that the right amount of beverages and appetizers are ordered, you must RSVP.
On another note, I would have included New York events, but I figured this was good incentive for our friends to come to Chicago. Dorothy Friedman, I am talking to you.

The Red Stars would lost some players, as Captain Lori Chalupny sprained her ankle and Ella Masar pulled her hamstring at the same time.
Chicago's 18-year-old Ashleigh Ellenwood passed the ball in the net to give the Red Stars a 1-0 lead. Flash goalkeeper Brittany Cameron kept the Flash in the game with some huge saves as the Flash left only 2 defenders back to try and equalize.
In the dying moments of stoppage time, substitute Toni Pressley received a pass from Canadian International Jodi-Ann Robinson and struck a left footed shot from outside of the box. The ball hit the crossbar and went over the line to send the game into overtime. "I focused on getting the shot off," Pressley said. "I didn't think it went in at first. Throughout the two over time halves, the WNY Flash had good possession but was unable to capitalize. Defender Nikki Marshall was named MVP of the game. This championship marked the third straight title for the WNY Flash, who took the W-League title in 2010 and the WPS title last year.
Coach Aaran Lines said that one of the more difficult tasks with his young players is to "make them believe that they are good enough to win." Lines said the team this season was "tremendous." "Nothing's easy," Cameron said, "We didn't stop trying until that final whistle."

APP has been for years my favorite piece of image processing software. I was very excited to try out the 3.0 release and re-do some of my old panoramas taking advantage of the new features. However, I am hitting a snag. So far out of a handful of different panoramas, I find the final renders produced by 3.0 are quite noticeably blurry. Though I imagine there is some setting I am not using properly, after trying a few things it seems to me there may be a more general issue with the rendering of panoramas using only multiband blending.
Here is the setup:
APP 2.0.9, Linux 64-bit, registered
Multi-core enabled, GPU rendering *disabled*
APP 3.0.1, Linux 64-bit, registred
Multi-core enabled, GPU rendering *disabled*
Panorama to be blended contains 83 photos. Panorama detection, alignment, projection, and cropping all done on APP 2.0.9, saved as a .pano file
Rendering on 2.0.9 using bilinear interpolation and multi-band blending yields the first attached image (crop of a small section). Notice the result is sharp througout. The second (middle) attached image shows the result of rendering in 2.0.9 using simple linear (not multi-band) blending. A bit blurrier than multi-band but still pretty good, and intended to show how much blur one would expect from camera shake or slight mis-alignment.
Loading the .pano and rendering on 3.0.1 using multi-band blending (no cutting, no anti-ghost, no diamon weighting) yields the third image. Notice it's blurry throughout (and this problem occurs for the entire panorama, not just this crop region). I used the default settings, and did not change in any way the projection, cropping, or any other panorama setting from the .pano generated by 2.0.9
Perhaps I'm missing something on how the multi-band blending is to be set up, but I can not seem to produce sharp renders after having tweaked the multi-band rendering parameters (which is basically only the level slider) multiple times. Furthermore, the problem occurs as well on the Windows 64-bit version, and I had observed the same issue with versions as early as APP 2.5.0 (which is why I've kept using 2.0.9).
From the rendered result, and the way point lights are being rendered, it seems to me there may be a problem with the warping stage of the rendering pipeline in 2.5 and onwards. Notice the point lights do not align at all, and this happens throughout the entire panorama in the same curious pattern. Since the panorama was aligned and cropped in 2.0.9, the image alignment stage is not the issue. Also, since the simple linear-blend from 2.0.9 is still noticeably sharper than the render from 3.0.1 (notice especially said point lights and the satellite dishes on the building) I am further inclined to believe it is not a blending problem in 3.0.1, but rather an actual increase in alignment error before blending occurs.
Notice that this problem would not be visible for panoramas rendered using anti-ghost, or with cuts selecting regions from individual images to blend onto the final render. However, due to the nature of my panorama and the source exposures, I do really need a multi-band blend to get the final result I'd like to obtain.
I am eager to hear tour thoughts on this. Look forward to it! thanks for the continous improvement to APP, and if you can suggest a way to deal with this problem I am certainly moving on to 3.0.1. Meanwhile, old, trusty 2.0.9 is fighting it out like a champ. Thanks!
P.S. Forgot to point out: I get the same blurry results if the entire workflow (panorama detection, alignment, cropping, adjustment, etc.) is done in 3.0.1. So it's not a problem arising from importing a panorama from 2.0.9.
Last edited by PanoPaco (2013-01-09 05:23:57)
Thanks for that. I think there is a lack of information on the changes between 2.0.9 and 3.0. Indeed in the 3.0 version, there are more flexibility on rendering settings.
Your first picture:
Version 2.0.9. Multi-band.
It implies use of anti-ghost, and therefore the misaligned objects are corrected.
Your second picture:
Version 2.0.9. Linear.
It implies diamond blending, so the image is a little blurry but not too much.
Your third picture:
Version 3.0.1. Multi-band, no anti-ghost, no diamond.
So, you get the worst result you can have on this panorama.
- Add anti-ghost, you should achieve the same result as your first pic
- Add diamond, and set linear interpolator, you should achieve the same result as your second pic.
Hope it helps.

Financial Sector Lagging in Transparency (Bureau of Investigative Journalism)
In addition, only five of the 24 financial institutions looked at reported that they prohibit facilitation payments – payments to a foreign official to facilitate transactions. The line behind payments and bribery is blurry and any kind of facilitation payment is banned in the UK under the Bribery Act.
Amongst the 24 financial institutions assessed by the NGO is UK bank Barclays. The bank, which scored 4.0 overall, has recently been at the centre of the Libor rate-fixing scandal. They are ranked 71st out of the 105 companies.
Chair of Transparency International, Huguette Labelle linked the findings of the report to the current economic downturn. "As the world continues to recover from the deep economic pain of 2008, the leadership at more companies must commit to stopping corruption', he said in a press release.
Barclays has been fined more than $450 million for its part in manipulating the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, the interest rate that underpins transactions worth hundreds of trillions of dollars…
Barclays is among more than a dozen global banks under investigation by authorities in North America, Europe and Japan and the only one so far to admit wrongdoing.

The Assembly Government funded post is the first of it kind in the UK and Mr Tooby, retiring Chief Superintendent of South Wales Police, will officially take up the role on Monday 4th April.
As Anti Human Trafficking Co-ordinator, Mr Tooby's main duties will include coordinating concrete evidence of the scale of the problem in Wales and coordinating services and support to those affected.
The role will also bring together a number of agencies including the police, local authorities, health service providers and voluntary organisations to identify and support victims and bring those responsible to justice.
The UK is now one of the main countries across Europe being targeted for human trafficking. As it is a largely hidden problem, the extent of the crime and the number of victims suffering in Wales is still unknown. A recent report by the Children's Commissioner for Wales estimated that around 32 children had been trafficked into the country, and police intelligence indicates that trafficking cases are on the rise.
Carl Sargeant said it was crucial to build an accurate picture of the scale of human trafficking in Wales to support victims and target the organised criminals who carry out this misery.
The Minister said:
"Although the full extent of the human trafficking problem is still unknown, we are aware of cases where victims have been brought into Wales and forced to carry out unthinkable acts against their will.
"This human exploitation is despicable and the Assembly Government has a duty of care to help victims and support the authorities to bring those responsible to justice. We need to have a much clearer picture of what is happening here to decide how to best tailor support, services and policing to tackle the issues.
"This new post will do just that and I am delighted that Bob Tooby will be joining us for the next 12 months. Bob brings a wealth of relevant experience to the post and I would like to welcome him as Anti Human Trafficking Co-ordinator for Wales."
Mr Tooby said he is delighted to be appointed to the post and is looking forward to working with communities and partners across the country to tackle the problem.
He said:
"Human trafficking in all its forms is the worst kind of slavery and exploitation of human beings possible. As the UK is one of the main European countries being targeted for this criminal activity, it is reassuring that the Welsh Assembly Government recognises the severity of the problem and has created this post to tackle the issues.
"Cohesive joint working will be the only way of fighting off this problem and my role will involve working alongside partners such as the police, local authorities and health service providers to make this happen."
Jeff Farrar, t/DCC Gwent Police and All Wales Policing lead for Protecting Vulnerable People and Human Trafficking, welcomed Mr Tooby to the post and said:
"This appointment is a positive step forward in the fight against human trafficking in Wales and Bob's contribution, alongside other officers and staff already in place, will be invaluable.
"Police Forces and partner agencies remain fully committed to taking action against human trafficking. Work continues to give victims, who may otherwise be reluctant to report the crime, the courage to come forward, enabling us to offer them the appropriate support and protection.
"With their help we can build an accurate picture of the scale of the problem in Wales and bring those responsible to justice."
The creation of this post fulfils a commitment to support human trafficking victims under the Welsh Assembly Government's 'The Right to be Safe' strategy.
