When I am not feeling cute, I wear leggings to work out. I really love cropped leggings and a tank. Oh, and you cannot forget a good sports bra! It is important that the clothing is made with a dry fit material to help with sweat. My iPod is my favorite work out accessory. I recently started using the NXE iPod moisture-wicking sports sleeve to hold my iPod when I work out and it works great! It is super comfortable. When I work out outside, which is more often then not, I make sure I have on my Oakley Commit sunglasses, which are the ones I wear when I compete. On my workout wish list: the Chanel J12 Marine watch to help me keep time when doing drills.

Rock Climbing 101: Basic Gear
People ask me how to get into rock climbing, and my answer is always the same: sign up for a beginning rock climbing class, or have an experienced climber teach you. For safety reasons alone, it's not something to start naively.
Once you decide that climbing is for you and you feel comfortable using the gear that the gym provides, you'll want to invest in your own. The above products are what I call an "indoor rock climbing starter set" — solid gear made from reputable brands that are perfect for a newbie (and beyond). You need chalk to keep your hands dry, an all-around climbing shoe, and the basic devices needed to manage the ropes. And of course, a harness to keep you safe and sound. Wear loose-fitting clothes like you would to yoga — I especially love climbing in moisture-wicking clothing — and you're pretty much set. Find out more about these climbing must haves and where to buy them by clicking on the images above. See you on the ropes!
Take a Hike! Essential Gear For the Trail
Take advantage of the cool shade provided by a canopy of trees and take a hike. Ascending those steep hills not only works your heart and lungs, it tones your backside too. Hiking is also a mega calorie burner — over 350 in an hour. Sporting the right gear will make you a happy camper on the trail. I consider wicking-wear essential (sports bra, undies, and socks) for staying dry and comfortable, and have highlighted my favorite hiking gear above. Find out more about these hiking must haves and where to buy them by clicking on the images above. See you on the trail!
Get the Look: Jessica Biel on Bike
Jessica Biel saw things in shades of gray on a bike ride with beau Justin Timberlake on Friday. And even though we love Jessica's outfit, we think that she's missing one thing: a helmet. Keeping with her color palette of the day, we styled her out with a cool gray and blue helmet from Bern. If you're loving Jessica's look, click on any item to buy it for yourself.

By MICHAEL ARRUDA & L.L. SOARES
(THE SCENE: A majestic movie theater, filled with well-dressed guests. MICHAEL ARRUDA & L.L. SOARES sit on the stage in front of the movie screen.)
MICHAEL ARRUDA: Welcome back to the second half of our end of the year column. Last time out, L.L. and I gave you our picks for the TOP 5 BEST FILMS of 2011. Now it's time for us to unleash our picks for the WORST 5 MOVIES OF 2011.
L.L. SOARES: For the BEST OF column, our audience was filled with personalities from the movies we saw, all hoping for a chance to be selected as one of the year's best. Let's see how many brave souls have stuck with us now that we're uncovering the stinkers of the year.
(Camera pans over audience, which is still filled to capacity, and includes superheroes, apes, aliens, vampires, cowboys, assassins, and Daniel Craig, busy having a 3-way conversation with a Goth girl with a tattoo, some cowboys and aliens, and some ghosts.)
LS: Still packed? These guys are braver than I thought.
MA: I think that giant cannon you have aimed at the exit has something to do with it.
LS: You think?
MA: Let's get this party started. You went first last time, so I'll go first this time. Again, tonight we're looking at our picks for the TOP 5 WORST MOVIES OF 2011. My pick for Number 5 is—(reaches into his jacket and begins to pull out an envelope. An arrow flies by his head, piercing the screen behind him. MA puts the envelope back into his jacket.)
DYLAN DOG: DEAD OF NIGHT. This was one weird movie, an attempt to bring horror and comedy together that just didn't work. Based on an Italian comic book, this bizarre tale of a private detective, played by Brandon Routh, who makes it his business to keep the peace among the city's warring population of vampires and werewolves, wasn't funny enough to be a successful comedy, not quirky enough to be campy, and it wasn't scary at all. Plus it told a far-fetched story that was hard to swallow.
I also hated the title, as it makes the movie sound like a kid's cartoon. Coming up next: DYLAN DOG AND SCOOBY DOO MEET THE SPACE GHOST! Gag!
Granted, I didn't hate this movie, but it was so mediocre, mild, and underwhelming, there's no way I could keep it off this list.
LS: Well, I can't chime in here, because I didn't see this one. Although I did hear it was pretty bad. Thanks for confirming that – so I don't have to see it.
My Number 5 pick for Worst Movie of 2011 is PRIEST. I had to sit through the trailer like 14 times (I think the movie's release date was delayed a few times). The trailer showed us the entire story. So, by the time I saw the movie, I already felt like I'd seen it 15 times already! And every single time —it sucked. In a future where the Vatican has taken over the world, vampires are the big threat that church-trained assassins have to take down. Based on an anime. Sponsored by Ambien. I can't tell you how excruciating this was to sit through. Easily one of the most boring movies of 2011. I just didn't care about any of the characters at all.
MA: I'm with you. In fact, I think I disliked PRIEST more than you did, since it's a little closer to Stinker Number 1 on my list. So, I'll comment more on this one in a bit.
LS: My Number 4 pick is THE ROOMMATE. Take Barbette Schroeder's SINGLE WHITE FEMALE, cast it with younger girls and have it take place on a college campus—oh yeah, and make it as dumb as possible—stir briskly, and you have this awful, cliché attempt at a horror movie, starring TV actresses Leighton Meester from GOSSIP GIRL and Minka Kelly from the short-lived CHARLIE'S ANGELS reboot. I heard that director Christian E. Christiansen was deported back to Denmark after he made this one. (just kidding). But man, it was awful.
MA: This one didn't bug me as much as it bugged you. I remember it being more mediocre than awful. I also remember liking the acting in this one, especially the two leads, Meester and Kelly. While you hated THE ROOMMATE, I just found it VERY average.
It narrowly missed the cut for my TOP 10 Worst Movies of 2011.
My pick for Number 4 is DREAM HOUSE starring Daniel Craig. Craig has had a notable year. We saw him in three movies this year, and all of them made our lists. COWBOYS AND ALIENS made my Top 5 Best Movies List, and THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO made your Top 5 Best Movies List. But with DREAM HOUSE, he hits rock bottom. To be fair, Craig is fine in this movie, so it's not him. It's everything else.
LS: Yeah, right.
MA: Of course, the most notorious thing about DREAM HOUSE was its trailer, which gave away a major plot twist! This twist takes place about half-way through the movie, and since I knew about it beforehand, the first half of this movie was a complete waste of time. Nice going guys! Way to go! Give away the film's major plot twist before the audience sees the movie!
But even without this spoiler, the film is pretty lame. Craig plays a writer who quits his position at a publishing house to write a novel and in so doing spend more time with his family. Of course, family time becomes spooky time as they seem to be visited by ghosts, but there's a twist (which those of us who saw the trailer already knew), and what Craig learns horrifies him and changes the plot's direction, as he seeks out not a ghost but a murderer who's very much alive.
DREAM HOUSE is supposed to be a haunted house/ghost story, but the ghostly elements are all peripheral at best. It eventually becomes more of a psychological thriller, but it fails here too because it's not very thrilling. David Loucka's weak screenplay is eventually done in by an even more ridiculous and extremely convoluted ending.
DREAM HOUSE is a complete fail. I didn't like it at all.
LS: Well, I have to agree with you there, except I hated it even more than you did. DREAM HOUSE was Number 2 on my list. So I'll get to it later.
MA: Number 3 on my list for Worst Movies of 2011 is the awful thriller PRIEST, which you already talked about, since it was Number 5 on your list.
I can sum up what's wrong with this one just by reviewing its plot. PRIEST takes place in an alternate world where vampires and humans have battled for centuries, but the humans have finally won the battle because they have a secret weapon: warrior priests. Nuff said. Actually, the story goes on as the vampires kidnap the niece of the most famous priest warrior, and he of course must rescue her. Blah, blah, blah.
PRIEST has a horrible story, unexciting visuals, no character development, and the icing on the cake? It was in 3D.
PRIEST was one of the more forgettable movies of the year. In fact, I've already forgotten about it. You should too.
LS: Dammit, I forgot that PRIEST was in 3D, so we had to even pay extra money to be bored to death!! Yeah, this one smelled so bad the projectionist had to wear a gas mask.
My Number 3 pick is a movie I was excited to see beforehand. And it was a complete letdown. I'm talking about PAUL. I was actually looking forward to this one. It stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the stars of such great indie comedies as SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ. Unfortunately Pegg's co-writer and director on those movies, Edgar Wright, has nothing to do with PAUL. Maybe that's why it's so damn awful. This time around, the director is Greg Mottola (who actually directed SUPERBAD and ADVENTURELAND, so he's not that bad!), and this one is a big mis-step for everyone involved. Pegg and Frost play two sci-fi nerds who pick up an escaped alien in their RV in the middle of the desert. The creature, named Paul, has the voice of Seth Rogan and looks like your typical gray, big-headed Roswell extraterrestrial. In theory, this sounds pretty good, but the movie itself has almost zero laughs, except for Kristen Wiig as a fundamentalist's daughter who has a hard time accepting that there's other intelligent life in the universe. But otherwise, you can hear the crickets. Some movies just should never have been made.
MA: I didn't see PAUL. I forget the reason I wasn't available to review it that weekend, but after reading your negative review, I decided to skip it altogether, or at least save it for a rental.
LS: My Number 2 pick is a movie you've already talked about – DREAM HOUSE. Daniel Craig lives in a house with the ghosts of his wife and daughters. Daniel Craig finds out that he used to be in a sanitarium, but he doesn't remember it. Daniel Craig finds out everyone thinks that he killed his family. Daniel Craig solves the mystery. Meanwhile—I struggle not to nod off. This movie had a lot of twists and turns, but in the end it all amounted to a big pile of stupid. Easily the worst movie Daniel Craig has made so far.
MA: I can't argue with you there.
My pick for the Second Worst Film of 2011, A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS.
As much as I've really enjoyed the recent slate of raunchy Rated R comedies to hit the big screen in the past few years, I didn't like this one. I have no problem with raunchiness as long as it's funny, and that was the major problem I had with this movie: it wasn't funny. The gags were vulgar and raunchy, but they weren't making me laugh, and I guess the point I'm making is it wasn't because they were vulgar and raunchy; it was because the comedy just wasn't sharp.
I know they were going for the Cheech and Chong-style humor here, but there were far too many drug references. Again, it's not the fact that it was a drug reference. It was that it wasn't funny. They did the same thing with male genitalia. Every joke either ended as a drug reference or a male genitalia reference. Can't make this joke work? Hmm. Let's just end it with a line about getting high, or have someone say something like "Hey, is that your dick?" Lowest common denominator, bottom of the barrel writing.
And it was in 3D no less. Ugh! A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS makes coal in a stocking look pretty good!
LS: I liked the very first HAROLD AND KUMAR movie. I didn't see the second one. And I'm sorry I saw this one. I actually like the characters, but you're right, this one was not funny. I think I laughed twice. And the preachy "these stoners need to grow up and be responsible adults" storyline just bored the hell out of me. I don't see a HAROLD AND KUMAR movie to see responsible adults. I see it because I want to laugh. But their 3D CHRISTMAS movie didn't make me laugh enough.
Well, on to my Number 1 pick. And it is THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1. I know this is an obvious choice—but it really was the worst movie I saw in 2011. With no real plot (except Bella gets married, Bella gets pregnant, Bella has a baby) to speak of. Boring doesn't begin to describe this one. And it's so bad they had to cut it into two parts, so we're not even done with the TWILIGHT series yet. NOOOOOOO! I was just surprised it wasn't in 3D.
MA: My pick for the WORST MOVIE of 2011? No surprise, it's also THE TWILIGHT SAGA– BREAKING DAWN- PART 1.
If I could just shriek right now, that would just about cover my feelings, both towards this movie and the entire series. And as you said, it's not done yet! We have one more of these turkeys due out in 2012! Someone stop the madness!
I haven't liked any of the TWILIGHT movies, but I may have hated this one most of all. First off, what an awful title! It takes longer to say the title than to summarize its plot! Moody girl marries bland vampire, pregnancy troubles follow. There you go folks. Let's move on to Part 2 and hope we can add the tag line, "and everybody dies." That would be a satisfactory ending.
LS: The ONLY satisfactory ending. Except, since most of the characters are vampires, dying wouldn't get rid of them.
MA: THE TWILIGHT SAGA– BREAKING DAWN- PART 1 was yet another awful entry in probably the most boring movie series I've ever watched in my life. The first third of this movie is simply a wedding. Then it moves on to Bella's and Edward's honeymoon—can you stand all this excitement? —and then it finishes with Bella's life being in danger due to complications arising from her supernatural pregnancy.
There are too many things wrong with this movie (and this series) to talk about here, but I'll just summarize them all by saying none of the other movies on my list today even come close to the dread inspired by this horrid waste of film. I know these movies appeal to a very specific niche, and that's fine, but would it be too much to ask to offer something— some spark of creativity, humor, horror, anything!— to make it palatable to those of us outside this niche? Because as these movies stand now, they offer nothing to the general audience of moviegoers, other than an-after viewing headache due to overwhelming boredom.
I'd rather sit through Breaking Wind than BREAKING DAWN.
LS: Well, at least we agreed on the Worst Movie of 2011. You know there are a lot of bad movies in a year when SCREAM 4 comes out, and it doesn't make my Top 5 of the worst movies.
MA: How true that is! I really thought I'd see SCREAM 4 on your Top 5 list. It was Number 7 on my list.
LS: It was Number 6 on mine.
MA: Well, that wraps up another year of movies here at CINEMA KNIFE FIGHT. With the exception of the movies we discussed today, I'd say that, all in all, 2011 was a very good year for movies.
LS: Well, as usual, I had a Top 10 of Worst films, rather than a Top 5. So there were a lot more bad movies than just these. But I'll list the rest of mine in a separate column .
MA: Yeah, I had more than five on my WORST list too, but I also had a whole bunch of movies that I really liked, close to 20, on my BEST OF list. That's more than usual for me, which is why I said it was a good year for movies.
MA: Thanks everybody for joining us. We'll see you in 2012!
(The cannon explodes, blowing a huge hole through the exit doors.)
MA (to LS): What did you do that for?
LS: I just wanted to get the New Year started with a bang!
MA: Okie-dokie. Well, folks, there you have it. Another explosive ending to a CINEMA KNIFE FIGHT column.
(Everyone in the room runs screaming through the hole to get away)

Comments about PBS NATURE: River of No Return DVD:
This is a movie that shows what most of us never see. The peaceful and lively action among animals and the wild that is home to itself, and not to humans so much, is rarely seen in such close-up and vivid truth. What a great film team. The footage is spectacular. Watch it! This is what is lost through the city life I lead...this is what our children are likely not to see unles we help them know it's there....great movie! When is the next installment being aired? We're ready right now!

HUNTINGTON DOG SHOOTINGfrom Eyewitness News Online Man Allegedly Shoots Dog While Mother Sleeps In The Same Room Reported by: Tiersa Davis Web Producer: Tiersa Davis Reported: Oct. 1, 2012 2:46 PM EDT Updated: Oct. 1, 2012 5:17 PM EDT
, Wayne County
, Kentucky
A man was arrested in Huntington after West Virginia State Police said he shot his mother's dog while she slept in the same room. Troopers arrested Justin A. Pettaway, 25, of Huntington Friday. Troopers responded to a house at 1342 10th Ave. in Huntington after a woman called and said her son shot her bulldog, according to court documents. The woman said that she was asleep in the room when her son allegedly shot the dog in the neck. While officers examined the dog's injuries, they noticed the suspect trying to escape the police vehicle, the documents said. After a brief struggle, they were able to restrain him. Court documents said the suspect showed officers where the gun was located. In a statement, the suspect said he knew he couldn't have a gun because of a previous conviction. Pettaway admitted to shooting the dog in his mother's bedroom while she slept because she would not give him a calling card to call his wife in South Africa, the documents said. Troopers charged Pettaway with wanton endangerment, cruelty to animals, escape, brandishing, possessing a firearm, domestic assault and obstruction. He is being held at the Western Regional Jail on a $99,000 bond. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

Los Angeles Will End Arbitration Program
After 20 years of operation, the Los Angeles Superior Court is shutting down its alternative dispute resolution program due to an extreme budget shortfall, the National Law Journal reports. The loss of the ADR program, the largest in the country, will especially punish "the average citizen who finds himself in a lawsuit," according to the president of the LA County Bar Association Richard Brudge.
U.S. Chamber Statement on House Asbestos Reform Hearing
"For too long, asbestos bankruptcy trusts have operated without adequate oversight. Courts around the country have uncovered examples in which plaintiffs' lawyers have filed inconsistent or fraudulent claims with multiple trusts and in the court system. This abuse shortchanges legitimate asbestos claimants while hurting solvent companies, their shareholders and employees.
"The bipartisan Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act addresses this problem by requiring the trusts to file quarterly reports on their claims to the federal bankruptcy courts. This commonsense legislation would help discourage fraud and abuse in the asbestos compensation system.
"We commend Representatives Farenthold and Matheson for introducing the FACT Act, as well as Chairman Goodlatte and the House Judiciary Committee for holding this week's hearing. We urge swift House and Senate passage of this important legislation."
WSJ: 'As Asbestos Claims Rise, So Do Worries About Fraud'
Today's Wall Street Journal carried this must-read, front page story that highlights the fraud and abuse surrounding asbestos litigation and the bankruptcy trusts.
This watershed article is the first detailed examination of the trusts in a major media outlet.
As the Journal reports:
"With dozens of asbestos-related manufacturers forced into bankruptcy, a burgeoning swath of the legal action has shifted out of the courtroom and into a nebulous world of trusts that evaluate claims and authorize payouts with little outside scrutiny."
The story underscores the urgent need for greater oversight of the trusts.
On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act, which would require the trusts to file quarterly reports on claims with the bankruptcy courts.
In addition, several states are considering trust transparency measures similar to the one enacted in Ohio last year.
Unemployment Discrimination Bill Vetoed in NY
A bill in New York City would allow out-of-work job applicants to sue potential employers for discriminating against the unemployed, reports the Associated Press. Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently vetoed the measure, calling it a misguided plan that would create more lawsuits than jobs, but the New York City Council is planning a vote to override the veto.
Orszag: To Fix U.S. Budget, Reform Medical Malpractice Law
Medical malpractice reform could improve the country's fiscal picture, former OMB Director Peter Orszag writes in Bloomberg. "Presumably, health-care costs could come down if all states' malpractice laws protected doctors who followed national standards of practice," writes Orzag, and "the change in behavior could, in turn, do more to improve the U.S.'s fiscal picture than implementing the sequester would."
SCOTUS Roundup
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case over the enforceability of arbitration agreements. "The questioning didn't go well for the plaintiffs," writes Dan Fisher in Forbes, and a ruling in favor of the defendants could open the door to more arbitration clauses in contracts. In other Court news, the justices ruled unanimously that the Securities and Exchange Commission cannot rewrite the statute of limitations for seeking civil penalties in fraud cases (Wall Street Journal) and also ruled that plaintiffs do not have to prove materiality before class certification (National Law Journal).
The Trial Lawyers' New Merger Tax?
Lawsuits are filed in 96% of mergers and acquisitions valued over $500 million, according to a new report from Cornerstone Research (D & O Diary). In October, ILR released a paper analyzing the remarkable M&A litigation explosion, finding that "trial lawyers hold transactions hostage until they collect a 'litigation tax,' draining a share of the merger's economic benefit away from shareholders and into the lawyers' own pockets."
Surge in Litigation & Investigations in 2012
A new survey found that companies in the US and UK devoted more time to dealing with litigation last year than in the past, reports Corporate Counsel. The survey, conducted by the law office of Fulbright & Jaworksi, also revealed that regulatory investigations reached a five-year high and that respondents expect an additional increase in investigations in the coming year, particularly from the Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission, and state attorneys general.
Alabama Ruling Could Open the Door to Novel Lawsuits
Lawyers for Pfizer are asking the Alabama Supreme Court to reconsider its recent decision that can hold name-brand drugmakers liable for the generic versions of their products, reports the Wall Street Journal. The company says the ruling violates the "basic legal tenet that a manufacturer is liable only for its products" and could make the state a "magnet for novel personal-injury lawsuits."
Business Community Responds to FCPA Enforcement Guidance
Today, the the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform (ILR) and more than 30 state, national, and international business and advocacy groups sent a letter responding to guidance released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding their enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
The DOJ and SEC guidance was a positive step forward that clarifies many of the agencies' enforcement positions, but critical issues remain unresolved. The agencies have provided clear rules of the road in some circumstances, but the business community is left guessing on others.
Specifically, the coalition's letter praises the agencies for identifying components of an effective compliance program and acknowledging thresholds that must generally be met before an entity is considered a government instrumentality. The letter also applauds the guidance's alignment of the agencies' positions on subsidiary liability, its favorable treatment of voluntary reporting, its clear acceptance of a mens rea standard for corporate criminal liability, and its inclusion of specific examples of enforcement actions that the agencies declined to pursue, and why.
However, the letter also observes that the guidance fails to assure the business community that the agencies will give sufficient weight to strong compliance programs, falls short of clearly defining who is a "foreign official," and introduces new uncertainty with respect to the agencies' expectations in the wake of a merger or acquisition. Furthermore, the letter points out that the guidance does not illustrate, through examples or hypotheticals, the level of due diligence expected when businesses hire outside vendors and contractors to engage in foreign markets. Finally, the letter asks the DOJ and the SEC to make disclosure of their declination decisions a routine practice.
In February 2012, a similar business coalition sent a letter to the DOJ and the SEC that identified numerous areas of ambiguity, uncertainty, and inconsistency that the FCPA guidance could address. In April 2012, ILR hosted a roundtable discussion with officials from DOJ and the SEC to discuss the guidance and the business community's need for certainty and clarity under the law.

The city is amending the voter-approved 1% surtax project list by more than $8 million to help balance the budget.
The surtax III project list includes capital-improvement items ranging from streetscape improvements to burying utility lines.
Because it was faced with having to cut $9 million from its budget this year, the city is cutting funding for landscape and streetscape improvements, the canopy-tree program, traffic calming, street reconstruction and an upgrade of parks and recreation facilities.
But balancing the budget was not the only reason for the funding change.
According to Chris Lyons, city finance director, the $1.7 million reduction in the new $15 million Robert L. Taylor Community Complex in north Sarasota is due to the lower cost of the bonds used to borrow money for the project.
The City Commission wanted to fast track the burying of utility lines on Coon Key and improvements in Burns Square, so they had shifted money out of the surtax's second phase to do so. The money being moved out of those projects is now being put back into the surtax II projects.
The hardening of City Hall and annex buildings against storm damage was originally going to be funded out of the surtax III, but the city will instead take the $1,278,000 needed out of its general fund, which will leave that money for community-improvement projects.
"We didn't want to reduce other community-oriented projects funded by the surtax," Lyons said.

Philippines ~ National Children's Book Day ~ July 20th
Thanks to Zarah Gagatiga, Chair of the Philippines Board on Books for Young People (PBBY), for sending me details on this year's 27th National Children's Book Day (NCBD) in the Philippines to be held on 20th July.
This year's theme is "A Book Reader is a Winner" and PBBY will be commencing their celebrations at the Museo Pambata in Manila for the handing out of their annual awards. This year's Salanga (Writers' Prize) goes to Raymond G. Falgui for his poetry collection Green Leaf and Other Poems (the first time the award has been awarded for poetry); and the Alcala (Illustrators' Prize) has been awarded to Aldy Aguirre for his "dreamy and whimsical illustrations" of Falgui's poems in the same book.
Filipino author Candy Gourlay will be delivering the day's keynote address, fresh from the successful publication of her Young Adult novel, Tall Story, in the UK. The day will also be marked by the opening of a Retrospective of Albert Gamos, an award-winning Filipino illustrator who died last year. An esteemed honorary member of Ang Illustrador Ng Kabataan (InK), he was well-known for his classical and intricate style of illustrating for children.
As part of the NCBD celebrations PBBY and the National Book Development Board (NBDB) will announce the Best Reads of 2008 and 2009.
Schools, learning communities, libraries and families are all encouraged to get involved. For ideas on what type of activities could be organized, check out Zarah's Top Ten Suggestions.
And even if you are not in the Philippines, why not join in the celebrations by reading a Filipino children's book or YA novel? The summer edition of the National Geographic Kids magazine has picked Candy Gourlay's Tall Story as one of its Brilliant Summer Books. You can get plenty of ideas from our recent issue of PaperTigers focusing on the Philippines; and more Filipino book suggestions can always be found on Zarah's and Tarie Sabido's blogs.
As Zarah says "The NCBD celebration is not exclusive to PBBY. Bring it to your schools and families. After all, we are all here to celebrate reading, books and the Filipino young reader."

Our weapon of choice was a mkII Ford Focus, one of the biggest selling family cars of the last 10 years and one of the most common cars on the road today.
Now we did things properly on this drive, we went on a 20 mile circuit, made up of motorway and a little bit of town driving.
After all it is likely to be in the long haul journeys where the cost of running Air Con is likely to be at its highest.
We did a couple of runs, one with Air Con, one without and took the average MPG from both runs to hopefully give us an answer if it is all that bad.
And to contrast to my usual driving style, all the revs were kept down making this one of the most boring drives of my life. What we do for consumer advice!
So you can't say we weren't fair!
So after 15 miles and some very shrewd eco-driving our Ford Focus 1.6 returned a very respectable 42mpg.
A quick stop, a push of the Air Con button and another lap of our eco-circuit and we had an answer, it returned a still impressive 39mpg, a difference of 3mpg.
So in actual fact, the industry is right on this one with our engine showing a loss in efficiency of 7% almost bang in the middle of the 5-10% the experts predict.
This whole 10% less efficient thing sounds like it might be a lot but in perspective it really isn't that bad.
To talk the international language of money, this means you spend about an extra pound per 100 miles. Not a bad rate to stop yourself burning off as much fluid as your car burns petrol.
Ok yes things do change from car to car and I am sure that for some it may be more expensive, but this is all about averages and there are few cars more average than a Ford Focus.
So then it is up to you whether you are pinching the pennies so much that you want to save that extra £1 of fuel to take the car down the shops or whether you prefer to get out of the car without embarrassing sweat patches.

One of our tasks as leaders in the workplace is to build innovation by thinking through future problems and opportunities.
While there are a variety of ways to innovate for the future, my preference is to involve many people to provide multiple perspectives on the problem, and generate unique solutions and approaches.
The challenge is that if we pull everyone together, and all are looking at the same issue from multiple perspectives, we can spend a lot of time arguing through specific ideas. The discussion also can end up being too removed from the problem or opportunity.
Some groups even revert to structures such as parliamentary procedure to lead a discussion, but that can burden creativity.
To harness the brainpower of a group, I like to use Edward DeBonos Six Thinking Hats. This is a structured way of having everyone on the team look at a problem at the same time while rotating through several points of view.
The idea is that the team looks at the opportunity from one point of view, and then moves through five other points of view. These are identified by colors to represent different ways of viewing issues.
Some teams even go so far as to literally wear hats of a particular color (thus the name of the approach) to help everyone remember to use a specific point of view. Even when everyone is looking at things from the same point of view, people see different things. Thus individual contributions are made while rotating through the colored hats.
The first color commonly used is the white hat, which focuses on data. This includes historical data, current data on hand and recognition of the data necessary to make better decisions.
Even if someone is not a data-driven decision maker, they can make unique contributions asking questions that underlie the basic assumptions of the data, such as: Why is this the best data to use for making the decision?
Next is the red hat, which is the emotional reaction. We can all think of those we work with who are emotional decision makers, but what is amazing is what comes out from those who usually do not share their emotions in making a decision.
It may turn out that there is a lot more commonality than folks realize, or that some folks have been hiding behind the data. This also helps people process through their feelings about a particular issue and allows the group to come to a greater commitment in the future when planning a course of action.
Third is the black hat, which focuses on all of the problems and potential negative outcomes of a decision, verging on the pessimist.
The positive is that if the team becomes the greatest critic, then any potential flaw can be identified and addressed before a problem or opportunity is publicly shared or implemented.
Fourth is the yellow optimistic hat, which is many times needed after the group has done some black-hat thinking.
This helps the team identify the upsides, potentials and benefits of the approach to the opportunity. It also helps the team achieve some comfort after a rough look at the issue.
The final perspective for the group is the green hat, where creativity is strongly encouraged. This can be akin to traditional brainstorming.
The key is that the prior four discussions will have helped the team address a lot of the constraints, boundaries and issues that usually inhibit success in a creative solutions discussion.
As the leader of the team, we generally need to keep on a blue hat that focuses on the process. As the facilitator of the discussion, we keep the group in the same hat of thinking. If it looks like we started in black but have moved a bit into yellow, we can guide the group to put on our yellow hats and we will return to black hats at a later time.
Our job is to keep the discussion going by having everyone in the group look at the opportunity from the same hat and not getting bogged down in personality conflicts that routinely bedevil group problem-solving.
There are a variety of ways to lead a team to innovative for the future. As business leaders, our challenge is to successfully lead them through that opportunity. This tool is one way to do that.

Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker, a resident of Weleetka was born March 6, 1995 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Vicky and Peter Placker. She passed away Sunday, June 8, 2008 in Weleetka, Oklahoma at the age of 13 years 3 months and 2 days.
Taylor atended Graham school where she was involved in the 4H club, cheerleading, and was on the Superintendent's Honor Role.
She was preceded in death by maternal grandparents, Ruby and Carl Paschal, and by her pateral grandparents, Petra & Arvie Placker.
Taylor leaves behind her Mother and Father, Peter & Vicky Placker, Weleetka;
2 brothers, Jessie Paschal, Weleetka;
Chris Placker, Sallisaw;
2 sisters, Jennifer Paschal, Weleetka;
Linda Kaye Placker, Weleetka;
As well as a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, and other relatives.
Just as a matter of my curiousity, who would be the mother of Taylor? Although the obit says she was "born to" Vicky and Peter Placker, her surname is Paschal-Placker, and Peter Placker says he is actually her biological grandfather although he raised Taylor as a daughter.
Apparently Vicky was a Paschal when she married Peter Placker, and their combined surnames are given to Taylor.
Help me figure out that puzzle, please, even though it's probably of no relation to the murders.

A BIG point of discussion, as a matter of fact, was why he would use Taylor's cell phone to make the 911 call.....she was laying down in the ditch, dead, so what did he do, grab the phone off her body, and call?
Just all very strange. I'm sure it could be cleared up in a heartbeat though, if news would only get their stories straight. I don't doubt Peter Placker did make a call.......so did she, I guess.....WHY did LE choose to make THIS one public? And who called first.

I'm quite puzzles about the court records! And that drugs played a role with some family members.
I think there is a possibility that the life style/connections with this family could have something to do with the killings of the two little girls. Not that the family is involved but that they had something to do with the wrong people, IMO.
The police made some indications like (paraphrasing) "maybe those girls were targeted" and "establish which relationship those girls had with the perp(s)".
I hope the police solves this case soon!

Hi, CherokeeKid, I second your thanks to LovelyPigeon; these court records don't implicate family members in the crime, but, as you suggest, it does raise worries that neighborhood lifestyles had something to do with these terrible killings. It's possible, of course, that they were revenge killings for some non-payment or non-delivery, or perhaps they were just adrenaline murder mistakes by some edgy cokehead or meth addict waiting for his connection.
CherokeeKid wrote:
Hi Astor, Thanks for your kind words. And yes LovelyPigeon did some great research!
IMO, the lifestyle of the family could have put those girls on a higher risk. But in today's society, it's very difficult to say what really happened as there are some perps out there who don't need a motive, they might just kill for the "thrill" as you mentioned.
The Grove case comes to mind. It seemed very much that it was drug related, they way the two adults and the teenage boy were killed in such a brutal way looked like it was some kind of revenge. And LE thought there must have been more than just one perp to overpower that family. I was very surprised that Duncan, a smaller guy, was the perp and his motive, to kidnap and moleste those two small kids, was just puzzling to me.
I hope this case will be solved soon. That someone will talk. What coward/s to gun down those two young girls.

A Voice of Sanity wrote:One thing to remember here is that is someone killed one girl, he(?) was pretty much forced to kill the other one. Even if the first shot was an accident it is not impossible that he panicked and made sure both were dead. There is also the possibility of "buck fever" at play. But, yes, tis does not appear to be an area where accidental drive-by shootings would be common.
buck fever - nervous excitement of an inexperienced hunter; sometimes causes repeated shots at a target animal.
``I have written in these pages about my first hunting experience with a legal deer. When that chance arose, my conscious mind froze - they call it "buck fever." I had no experience to fall back on, therefore my autopilot drew a blank and induced me to stand there like an idiot - a wheezing, trembling, adrenaline-filled idiot with knees of Jell-o and one hell of a heart rate - until the deer calmly walked away. My autopilot did nothing for me during that encounter.''
I'm trying to figure out why someone would do something as bad as this is. It certainly isn't gang banger territory. Some idiots shoot off guns for no good reason.dragonfly wrote:Certainly makes sense, but I don't believe there is any active hunting season at this time that would require any type of rifle. Shotgun, maybe, but not anything high powered. Deer season is, of course, in the fall and winter. I'll look it up though and see what I can find.

Skyla Whitaker, Taylor Paschal-Placker Gunned Down On Rural Road
POSTED: 3:33 pm CDT August 8, 2008
UPDATED: 9:28 pm CDT August 8, 2008
WELEETKA, Okla. -- Reports released Friday afternoon by Oklahoma's chief medical examiner show two girls from Weleetka were both shot several times.
Skyla Whitaker, 11, and Taylor Paschal-Placker, 13, were gunned down on a rural road near their homes in Okfuskee County on June 8, Eyewitness News 5 reported.
"This was very deliberate," said Jessica Brown of the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation. "(They were) shot multiple times. Not two or three, but multiple times."

Video: Autopsies Released in Weleetka Killings Case
No one has been arrested in the case and no official suspect has been named.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has been leading the investigation and a spokesperson said the bureau has had the reports for some time.
The report on Whitaker showed eight gunshot wounds to the torso and arms. Paschal's autopsy report revealed five gunshot wounds, including three in the face, Eyewitness News 5 reported.
According to the report, investigators determined Whitaker was a few feet behind Paschal when the girls were attacked.
"This only gives us an indication that they were within feet of their killer or killers," Brown said.
She also said whoever shot the girls used two guns, one with lead-coated bullets that was small in size and a second with medium-sized copper-jacketed bullets.
Investigators released a sketch of a man they want to interview about the case but have not been able to find him.
Skyla and Taylor's families are hopeful the information will help put the killer or killers behind bars.
"I know they will catch them eventually," said William Whitaker, Skyla's father. "No matter what the court system does to this person it will never be enough. It will never bring my daughter back."
"We are getting through it with help from friends and family and the community and everything, but it is rough. Real rough," said Peter Placker, Taylor's grandfather.
Police ask anyone with potentially helpful information to call the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at 800-522-8017.

The mystery of the world's most boring beer
Of all the varieties of beer that exist, lager is probably the most maligned by craft beer aficionados. Mass market lagers are criticised for their uniformity and bland fizziness; microbrewed ones are almost nonexistent because lager is expensive to brew. The bulk of the lagers on the market in Australia conform to a very narrow range of the style: pale lagers rather than the traditionally German dunkels, märzens or schwarzbiers. It is the international style that now dominates the local brews and faux imports alike. They're crisp, unvarying and unchallenging.
The strains of yeast used to brew a lager thrive at low
temperatures, generally between 7 and 15 degrees celcius. Brewing away
at lower temperature causes yeasts to grow more slowly. Traditional
lagers like marzen (which means "March" in German) were stashed in cool
caves in March and disgorged from the casks for Oktoberfest. It is a
costly process to replicate because of the need to keep the beer stored
at a low temperature while the yeast eats its way through the sugars
in the beer.
Lagers have been brewed in Germany since the 1400s but one of the
mysteries behind the beer is how did the particular strain of lager
yeast get to Germany. This year, we came one step closer to finding out.
The LA
Times reports:
Geneticists have known since the 1980s that the yeast brewers use to make lager, S. pastorianus, was a hybrid of two yeast species: S. cerevisiae — used to make ales, wine and bread — and some other, unidentified organism.
Searching through collections of wild yeasts from Europe, researchers — including Hittinger and his collaborators — tried to identify lager's missing link but again and again were stumped. "There were a few candidates, but none fit particularly well," Hittinger said.
So he and his colleagues began "sampling more systematically," collecting soil and bark, sap and abnormal growths called galls from trees on five continents.
Team member Diego Libkind of the Institute for Biodiversity and Environment Research in Bariloche, Argentina, found S. eubayanus in galls on southern beech trees in Patagonia. The galls were particularly rich in sugar, which yeast like to colonize and consume.Patagonian natives used to make a fermented beverage from the galls — a definite clue that the scientists were on the right track, Hittinger said.
When the team brought the yeast to a lab at the University of Colorado and analyzed its genome, they discovered that it was 99.5% identical to the non-ale portion of the S. pastorianus genome, suggesting it was indeed lager yeast's long-lost ancestor.
What makes this fascinating for one of the world's more boring beers is that somehow, the yeast from Patagonia has made its way from the Americas to Germany in the early 1400s. There is a possibility that the bacteria existed in an as yet undiscovered location in Europe, but the first European to make that passage was Christopher Columbus in 1492. The small unknown in history suddenly makes lager look a little more interesting.

A blog about what the world eats, when and where it eats it, and why it matters to us all. Only much less ambitious than that sounds and with more excruciating puns.

In 2005 he moved to Cambodia and started the nation's first food blog, Phnomenon.com, named after the best pun that he has ever made. It turns out that Cambodian food is delicious and unlike the warnings in most guidebooks, is not likely to kill you with any immediacy. Gridskipper called him a "national treasure". Lonely Planet's Greater Mekong guide called him "the unofficial pimp of Cambodian cuisine". The New York Times laughed at a funny hotdog he saw.

April 25, 2012 Carmel, IN – On May 1st, Carmel-based EventzPlus ("EP") will move and will also soon be under new ownership.
EP had simply grown out of it's current space and the owners were frustrated by having to turn away business. Local entrepreneur, Frank Howard of L5 Solutions and Indy CoZ, will purchase the business and move it to his larger facility in the Castleton, IN area. Howard is working with current EventzPlus owners to make a smooth transition to its new space.
Since opening in 2011, EventzPlus has catered to clients looking to rent a smaller venue for events. EP has also hosted their own gatherings including monthly vendor-based Boutique Socials, Bridal Shows, Birthday Parties and "Coffee and Croissants" bringing in local business owners looking for a quiet, relaxed working and meeting atmosphere.
EventzPlus will continue to provide preferred vendors as a concierge service for its clients, or the option of bringing in someone's own caterer, florist, photographer, entertainment, etc.
Howard says, "Their event model was perfect! They had great success from the very beginning and once I saw it, I knew it would be a great fit. Between the event side and the work space they offered, I knew my facility would be able to handle both and grow exponentially within my larger space." In addition to events, Howard will offer a Coworking environment where individuals and businesses have access to an open workspace, private offices, conference rooms, café, and lounge areas in the over 25,000 square foot space. He will also have Event Coordinators on site to continue the great party planning service EP is known for.
EventzPlus will be conveniently located in the Castleton area at 7960 Castleway Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46250 and will host an Open House in June.
About EventzPlus: EventzPlus is a full-service event rental and hosting facility located in Carmel, IN. EventzPlus provides event coordination, vendor management, project plan creation, event itinerary creation and building rental. www.eventzplus.com
About Indy CoZ: Indy CoZ is a new Coworking and Event Space located on the Northeast side of Indianapolis with easy access to Interstates 69 and 465. It offers startups, independent professionals, home based businesses, and those with workplace flexibility, the ability to work in an open and collaborative environment. www.IndyCoZ.com

Or -- more probable -- the fact that the ports system has a bug (because it does not have USE flags like portage or something) that does not let you compile those dependencies without libtiff?

So you could potentially have two copies of GTK+ on the system. But that would in fact involve a longer build time. Assuming you do want TIFF support in some other GTK+ programs, why not have it just enabled in GTK+?
So either fix it the "Ubuntu" way (build GTK+ with TIFF support for everybody) or the "Gentoo" way (build GTK+ without TIFF support for everybody. Keeping multiple copies increases your overall build time (not to mention other types of overheads).
Oh, and do you mean that Firefox (and Chromium, likewise) have this nice habit of not reusing system components? Well, this is a know issue. In the works, I guess.

"What benefits does the best car air purifier offer?" That's a tough question to ask when you drive a lot especially with your family. Car air cleaners or filters may look similar but they are not the same. Not all car air cleaners provide the benefits that this ionic breeze car air purifier offers. That's your clue. This car air cleaner generates ions – negative ions. Negative ions , negative electric ions to be exact, prevent the blood from becoming acidic and improve the body's immune system. They help the human cells get more nutrients from the blood and remove waste out of the body (Economy Daily News, January 30, 2002). Negative ions are also called anions. Anion has no color, no smell, and absorbs microscopic elements such as dusts, viruses and germs, removes car air conditioner odor or smell, keeping the air inside your car healthy and clean. More anions in the air keep people feel better and energized (Product Brochure). This car air filter emits anions. Still not convinced that this is the best car air purifier?Have you been to a waterfall or on top of a mountain? Do you remember the positive, refreshing feeling in those places? Because these places have thousands of negative ions or anions. Waterfalls have 95,000 - 450,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter of air, mountains and seashores, 50,000 - 100,000 (http://www.comtech-pcs.com/whatareions.html). Anions sustain and improve human health according to the same Economy Daily News article. Inhaling 5,000 – 50,000 negative ions per cc of air strengthen the body's resistance and immunity; 100,000 to 500,000 relieve illnesses. The body absorbs anions not only through inhaling but also through the skin where 85% of anions pass through. How about the performance of other car air filters? I don't know about that but this car air filter, in comparison with other filters, emits 2,000,000 of anions per cc of air as tested by the Korea Far Infrared Association (Product Brochure). It's like having the anions of 5 waterfalls in your car! Here are some images of this car air cleaner, taken from the manufacturer's website (www.ionic.co.kr).
