Common Sense Says
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Mama is a horror movie starring Jessica Chastain and produced by Guillermo Del Toro. It's very light on blood and gore, but there are lots of powerfully scary, spooky images, as well as scenes of young children in danger. Language is light (with one use of "f--k" and about three uses of "s--t"), and there's one brief scene of adult kissing and sensuality. Mama is a bit more ambitious than other horror films, and many horror-crazy teens will be able and eager to see it. But some of the movie's themes around motherhood and caring for children are a better fit for adult viewers.

A Nederland man charged with possession of a number of child pornography videos had his plea deal rejected by a Jefferson County Criminal District Court on Monday, Jan. 13.
Larry Wayne Ball, 67, was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury Oct. 24, 2013, on a child pornography possession charge, a third-degree felony.
On Oct. 1, 2012, police seized several storage devices where they found at least six saved child pornography videos. According to the affidavit, when police interviewed Ball, he admitted to using a peer-to-peer software program to download the videos and also admitted to masturbating to the movies.
Ball pleaded guilty in Judge John Stevens' Criminal District Court on Monday, Dec. 4, taking a deal that would have capped his probation at 10 years. But, on Monday, Jan. 13, Judge John Stevens' Criminal District Court rejected Ball's plea of guilty for 10 years probation and set Ball's case for trial
"This is the kind of thing that I really believe that if we think that harming children in this way and sexually abusing children, which is what this amounts to, deserves probation on my watch? I don't. I really don't under these circumstances," Stevens said. "If a jury thinks otherwise in this county, that's up to them. I'll let them make the decision."
Stevens chuckled in disgust as he read Ball's pre-sentence report, which contained the facts of Ball's case. Ball's defense argued his client had little criminal history and had not acted out his sexual fantasies on any children.
Ball has been free on bond since Oct. 10 when he posted a $20,000 bond.
He is set to appear in Judge John Stevens' Criminal District Court on March 24.

Dealspwn writes: Scouring through patents, blueprints, rumours and 'twitter leaks' (aka bollocks) has put us on a seemingly endless chase in recent months for information about what we're getting from the next-generation of consoles. With the Wii U sitting uncomfortably between two generations, Sony's task of judging where to go next with their controller in an unenviable one. Do they once again add minor tweaks to the DualShock, an iconic controller that's dutifully served them and millions of gamers for over a decade, or move forwards to keep up with what may turn out to be the popular trend in years to come?
There were undoubtedly some tough choices made at the drawing board, or perhaps nothing is set in stone yet, the rumours of a March reveal simply digital whispers and Sony will be gluing together a prototype minutes before this year's E3 presentation. Fingers crossed they don't try anything like that ridiculous bananarang redesign that they tried for the PS3.
Just leave it the way it is but change the L2 and R2 buttons so they don't feel so loose.
Split it in the middle. Add motion controls.
Now you have the physical layout of the dualshock we love, it is more comfortable to hold, and has motion controls. Best of both worlds.
Make the triggers more triggerish but don't do gay joystick alignment like a 360

Before & After: Holly's 95% DIY Kitchen Renovation
We were happy to hear from Holly yesterday — she shared her old place with us in a House Tour post in 2008. She and Sean have since moved and are in process of renovating and decorating a new house. They just finished the kitchen and sent us some photos of the room, both before and after...
It's a great transformation and this is a true DIY - Holly, Sean and their family did all the work (with the small exception of the countertop installation) and lived to tell the tale, which Holly does with great humor on her blog, Nothing But Bonfires.
The scope of the job was huge. Over the course of a month or so, they:
• Stripped Wallpaper
• Removed Paneling
• Painted Walls and Cabinets
• Replaced Light Fixtures
• Removed Old (Concrete!) Countertops
• Removed and Replaced Backsplash
• Removed and Replaced Sink
• Replaced All Appliances
• Removed Linoleum and Replaced with Tile
• Added Baseboards
• Painted a Chalkboard Wall and Hung Artwork

Our country has preserved the traces of past wars with memorials, historic sites, cemeteries and historical re-enactments open to the public.
Memory is the presence of the past in a society, the expressions of this past are part of our daily environment and remembrance tourism focuses on the heritage sites that are linked to events or historical situations whose memory and heritage, often painful, have marked previous generations up to the present day.
Wallonia and Brussels are bursting with remembrance venues and itineraries which relate to the key moments of our past, like for example the Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars up until Waterloo. Or the two World Wars, episodes which will be commemorated in 2014 and 2015 and which forged Europe in blood, by making us conscious of the price of peace and freedom.
As the crucible of the Industrial Revolution in continental Europe, our region looks after its memory, including that of social and democratic struggles which gave us shared values.
Remembrance tourism, combined with the cultural riches of the world, offers a vast array of exceptional discoveries, in a relatively small area, an area that hosted great confrontations and major moments of history.Whatever your age, to follow the paths of remembrance in tourism is to a guarantee a date with a rare quality of history.

Car Tires: What Are The Differences?
If you're choosing a new or used vehicle, you might be surprised to learn about all the types of car tires available. It's no longer just "all-seasons" or "winter tires" -- there are now many varieties, and they can serious affect performance and cost. We've examined a few of the more unusual tires you might see on today's cars.
Run-flat tires
Run-flat tires, as their name suggests, allow you to drive even after they're punctured. Of course, there are limitations. One is that the puncture can't be very large. And you can't go very far (usually around 100 miles) or very fast (usually around 55 miles per hour). If you live in a major city with a lot of road debris or in a rural area where flats are common, run-flats might be a good idea. But they have drawbacks, including premature wear and high cost -- sometimes as much as double the price of a normal tire.
Low-rolling-resistance tires
Some automakers advertise the fuel-saving benefits of low-rolling-resistance tires. These tires give less friction when a car is driving. The result is better gas mileage, though the improvement may be small -- in some cases less than one mpg.
Still, as gas prices creep higher, any fuel-economy benefit helps. And low-rolling-resistance tires haven't been demonstrated to offer worse grip or premature wear compared to normal tires.
Performance tires
Performance tires are a reality of many sporty cars. While a normal family sedan can use all-season tires with no problems, a sporty vehicle may require low-profile performance tires for increased grip and roadholding. These tires can sometimes be costly to replace -- but many drivers feel they're worth it for the added performance benefits.
Model-specific tires
Some high-end and sporty cars take performance tires a step further by offering model-specific tires. That's right; certain vehicles come with tires unique to that car's make and model.
It's true that drivers don't have to replace model-specific car tires with the exact tires when it comes time for a replacement set. But choosing a different tire could lessen the car's performance. As a result, we recommend checking to see if the car you're considering includes model-specific tires -- and how much they'll cost to replace -- as it could save you headaches in the future.

Glencore Appoints Ex-BP Chief as Interim Chairman
The former BP CEO, Tony Hayward, has been appointed interim chairman of Glencore Xstrata after John Bond was voted out by the company's shareholders. His appointment comes as BP puts the cost of the Deepwater Horizon disaster at about $40 billion, which took place when Mr. Hayward was CEO.

Members of the University of Rochester's fraternity and sorority community were recognized last month with six awards and one honorable mention at the Northeast Greek Leadership Association Conference in Stamford, Connecticut. The NGLA provides opportunities for learning and leadership to members of fraternities and sororities throughout the northeast region.
University of Rochester award recipients include Drew Alessi '11, of Chi Phi Fraternity, Katarina Gardner '11, of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, and Luis Soto '11, of Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, who each received the Student Greek Leaders of Distinction Award. This award recognizes students who exemplify the ideals of their fraternity or sorority within their daily lives. The individuals were judged on several criteria including leadership, scholastic and academic achievement, character as displayed through fraternity or sorority membership, and service to the University, to the individual's organization, and to the Fraternity and Sorority community at large.
Two Rochester Greek organizations also were recognized with the Amy Vojta Impact Award, which is presented to groups that created an original program with an impact on the community. Chi Phi Fraternity won the Multi-Cultural Initiative Programming award for its Ise Lyfe Program, during which renowned spoken word artist Ise Lyfe performed for the Rochester community in honor of Black History Month. The entire fraternity and sorority community was honored with the Public Relations Award for "Greek Glow Out," an event during Orientation 2010. The program introduced freshmen to the fraternity and sorority community through a carnival-style event on the Fraternity Quad.
Sigma Phi Epsilon was awarded an honorable mention in the Chapter Development and Leadership category for its Epsilon Challenge, a program that encourages initiated brothers to develop leadership skills.
John DiSarro, assistant director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at Rochester, attended the conference with members of the Interfraternity Council Executive Board. He congratulated the recipients, saying, "These awards reflect the commitment of our entire fraternity and sorority community to strengthen campus life at the University of Rochester and provide outstanding leadership development for its members."
Monica Miranda Smalls, the director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, was honored with the Philippi Award at the conference. Given to a fraternity and sorority affairs professional who has been nominated by an undergraduate, the Philippi Award acknowledges the role Smalls plays in the daily operation of campus life, programs that she has enacted throughout her tenure, and the relationship that Smalls has cultivated with the students in the community.
"Many of our undergraduate student leaders exemplify the true purpose of fraternal organizations," said Smalls, who was recently elected president of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors. "It's nice to see others recognize and reward them for the good work they are doing to enhance the overall student and community experience at the University."

Gerrard counts Arsenal win among best
Steven Gerrard claims Liverpool's players are not admitting to title ambitions because that is the party line.
• Brewin: Managing expectations
• Kelly: Anfield masterclass
• 'Wenger never been angrier'
The team's 5-1 thrashing of Arsenal on Saturday has revived debate about their potential to rival Arsene Wenger's side, Chelsea and Manchester City in the race to be crowned champions.
But asked if Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool side were in the title race, Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo: "According to Brendan, we are not.
"Listen, he said we are not, so we are all behind Brendan. We listen to what our leader says and he says we are not in the title race, so we go with that.
"We do what he says - and he says we are not in the title race, so we carry on pushing for the top four and see where it takes us."
Gerrard hailed Liverpool's demolition of Arsenal as one of the best team displays of his 15-year Anfield career.
The captain, who made his senior debut for Liverpool during the 1998-99 season, said: "That is right up there. I am trying to think back of a performance - especially in the first half -- that I can remember in the last 15 years.
"Maybe one or two in the Champions League got close but that was as explosive as it gets. That's definitely in the top three performances I have been involved in.
"You are talking about a side that is top of the league with world-class players, ones who are worth 42 million pounds [Mesut Ozil].
"Jack Wilshere, one of the country's big hopes who we are looking to perform at a World Cup, and Santi Cazorla, a World Cup winner. We have absolutely demolished a top team there from start to finish.
"If you stand off Arsenal and give them too much respect, they will pass you to death. They beat us 2-0 last year when we showed them too much respect.
"Brendan is the type of manager that won't just accept 4-0. He believes in 'death by football' and at half-time he wanted us to go out and kill them again in the second half.
"We never did that but that was impossible because of the amount of effort, tempo and workrate we put in for 45 minutes.
"It is impossible to do it for 90 minutes. The game was dead and buried at half-time."
An indication of the stunning form Liverpool were in is the fact that they scored four times in the first 20 minutes against the team who went into the match leading the Premier League.
The victory has left them six points off top spot, which is occupied by Chelsea, with 13 games to play.
Rodgers ruled Liverpool out of the title race last week and maintained his stance at the weekend.
However, two of the three teams above them - Chelsea and Manchester City - have to play them at Anfield in the closing month of the league season.
Liverpool have an excellent home record, having won 11 from 13 home league games this season and their display against has been read by many as a statement of intent from a side who have not qualified for the Champions League since 2009.

US Air Force combat aircraft no longer grounded
NORFOLK, Virginia (AP) — Grounded since April because of budget cuts, many of the Air Force's combat aircraft started flying again Monday, the military has announced.
The grounding affected about one-third of active-duty combat craft, including squadrons of fighters, bombers, and airborne warning and control craft.
Officials at Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia said the order affects planes in the U.S., Europe and the Pacific.
"Since April we've been in a precipitous decline with regard to combat readiness," Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command, said in a statement. "Returning to flying is an important first step but what we have ahead of us is a measured climb to recovery."
The Air Force has said it generally takes 60 to 90 days to conduct the training needed to return aircrews to mission-ready status. For the past several months, many pilots have been using simulators to try to keep their skills sharp.
The popular Thunderbirds demonstration team comprised of F-16s also will resume training flights, but all 2013 shows will remain canceled, said Lt. Col. Tadd Sholtis, an Air Combat Command spokesman.
The ability for the Air Force to get its planes airborne again comes after the Defense Department was authorized by Congress to shift about $7.5 billion from lower priority accounts to more vital operations. The Air Force said the restored flying hours represent about $208 million of that allocation authorized by Congress. In part, that funding comes reducing spending on modernizing the fleet.

Need a Bed Bug Exterminator in Port Arthur, TX - Here's All You Need to Know
Bed bugs have taken over your Port Arthur, TX home? You aren't able to close your eyes at nighttime because you can imagine them sucking the blood out of you? You want them gone like today? It's a bad situation, isn't it? But despair not - we are here, ready to help.
Here are 3 main reasons you must let us do it:
- Our experience is what makes us better than our competitors. With hundreds and hundreds of successfully treated bed bugs infested houses, you can't go wrong with us. We can say with certainty that we are the best in what we do in Port Arthur.
- The proof is in the pudding as they say. We have testimoniаls upon testimonials of folks like you that we are very happy to show upon request. What's more - we are willing to provide you with phone numbers of recent customers to call them and hear for yourself.
- We are proud of our work. In fact, we guarantee it. If the bed bugs are not gone we will come back to your house to treat it again. For free. So, let's move on to:
What You Need to Know Before Having a Bed Bug Extermination Company in Your Home
Bed bugs infested home is no joke. Three big alphabet soup agencies agree - The United States Department of Agriculture, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Environmental Protection Agency.
You need fast and swift action to get right of the bed bugs unless you like to live in a bed bug infested home. What that means is that you have to act swiftly because time is of the essence here.
Proven Ways to Get Rid of Bed Bugs in Port Arthur, Texas
Can't I get rid of bed bugs myself is probably your first thought? And I get that. Everybody wants to save money whenever they can. It's quite possible to exterminate the bed bugs in your home without external help.
A trip to the local store can probably solve that problem. At last count, there were 300+ products on the market. More than 2/3 of them can be used by folks like you and me. But before your hop in the car and spend your hard earned money on such products consider this:
It's not that hard to miss bed bugs infested part of your house. Their small size makes them hard to detect. While it is somehow easy to detect bed bugs in your mattress that's not true for the ones hidden in the box springs for example.
What I mean is that you only have to miss one-bed bugs infested place and they will come back so quick your mind will spin. Aside from the wasted tome and money your family would still be at risk. Not to mention you will have one unhappy spouse.
Even if you are able to exterminate them, do you know how to keep them off your house, because it's very easy for them to reappear?
Why Calling a Bed Bug Extermination Company in Port Arthur, TX is the Smart Thing To Do
I hope I was able to persuade you that doing it yourself is not worth it. However, before you call a local exterminator I want to address a few concerns you might have.
Hiring an exterminator is not that hard nor stressful. Below you'll find everything you need to know to hire the best bed bug professional in Port Arthur.
First and foremost – hiring a professional bed bug exterminator will cost more than the DIY approach. In the long term though it will end up being a bargain.
You will pay once and the extermination company will do the rest. They'll evaluate the situation, recommend the right treatment and make sure bugs won't come back.
How Much Do Bed Bug Exterminators in Port Arthur, TX Charge?
The short answer is - it depends. However, here's what you need to keep in mind.
- You'll be charged for inspection. The cost is between $50 and $500. There are companies that you do it for free in hopes that you will hire them. And there are exterminators that will waive the cost of inspection if yu hire them. Make sure you ask these questions while on the phone with them.
- Next, the cost per room to get rid of bed bugs varies between $250 to $1000 depending on the size of the room, the severity of the infestation, and the extermination techniques used. One treatment might not be enough, though. For that reason find out whether the quoted price includes follow-up visits.
- Also budget for mattress covers that cost $75 to $150 apiece and professional fumigation of larger items. One way to save money is to do the prep work yourself (cleaning, removing clutter, laundering, bug-proofing beds)
With that being said please scroll back up and dial the number at the top to schedule a visit from an experienced technician and:
- Have a bed bugs free home in a matter of days instead of weeks or months
- Save yourself time and frustration. We work fast and we are very effective
- Have a peace of mind. Our work is guaranteed for 30 days
What's Next?

Haldia Bulk Terminals, a joint venture of ABG Infralogistics and LDA, had on October 28 pulled out of 10-year contract for cargo-handling operations, blaming the political climate and "vested interest" of KoPT authorities.
The contract was for operations at berth number two and eight of the Haldia Dock Complex. The port later retaliated by blacklisting HBT and hinted at blacklisting its parent companies too.
The French Embassy in New Delhi said: "We are in contact with the Indian authorities and the state government in Kolkata, through general consulate.
When substantial investment is involved, it is natural to be in touch with governments."
"The French Embassy and the commission are jointly handling the matter," an LDA spokesperson said in response to a query.
The joint venture had exited the contract alleging law and order problems at the port. The immediate trigger for HBT to pull out of the contract that was to end in 2020 was the abduction of three of its officials and the family of an employee on October 28.
LDA is part of century-old
agribusiness giant Louis Dreyfus, popular in the global trading circles as a constituent of ABCD traders, which stands for Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus.
Srinjoy Bose, a Trinamool Congress member of Parliament, is alleged to be behind making things uncomfortable for HBT. For his party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, this came as another Singur, where an agitation led by her had forced Tata Motors to move out of the state in 2008.
The port trust had earlier this month threatened it would not allow the company to move its equipment out. The French company has equipment worth Rs 140 crore at Haldia.
Syed Akbaruddin, spokesperson and joint secretary, ministry of external affairs, told Business Standard: "We have not received any information in this regard from the French Embassy yet."
Manish Jain, acting chairman, KoPT, did not respond to questions on LDA approaching the French government. The port had even initiated the process of encashing the performance guarantee of Rs 4 crore. The port is in the process of appointing a new contractor.
"We will come out with a letter of intent by December. A new firm is expected to start work on these berths by March next year," Jain said.
Among the equipment lying at the port were six cranes, 50 dumpers, 26 loaders and waybridges, a port official said on the condition of anonymity.

Browns pick Notre Dame S Slaughter
April 27, 2013
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — After trading away two earlier picks, the Cleveland Browns selected Notre Dame safety Jamoris Slaughter in the sixth round of the NFL draft.
The Browns traded their fourth- and fifth-round picks for selections in 2014 before using pick No. 175 on Slaughter, who had his 2012 season cut short after three games because of a left Achilles injury.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder played outside linebacker before switching to safety with the Fighting Irish.
The Browns needed to add depth at safety behind starter T.J. Ward and backups Eric Hagg and Tashaun Gipson. Slaughter can also play special teams.
Before picking Slaughter, the Browns made trades with Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.

Subscribe Recent quotes: Why being left-handed matters for mental health treatment -- ScienceDaily Since the 1970s, hundreds of studies have suggested that each hemisphere of the brain is home to a specific type of emotion. Emotions linked to approaching and engaging with the world -- like happiness, pride and anger -- lives in the left side of the brain, while emotions associated with avoidance -- like disgust and fear -- are housed in the right. But those studies were done almost exclusively on right-handed people. That simple fact has given us a skewed understanding of how emotion works in the brain, according to Daniel Casasanto, associate professor of human development and psychology at Cornell University. That longstanding model is, in fact, reversed in left-handed people, whose emotions like alertness and determination are housed in the right side of their brains, Casasanto suggests in a new study. Even more radical: The location of a person's neural systems for emotion depends on whether they are left-handed, right-handed or somewhere in between, the research shows. The study, "Approach motivation in human cerebral cortex," is published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. According to the new theory, called the "sword and shield hypothesis," the way we perform actions with our hands determines how emotions are organized in our brains. Sword fighters of old would wield their swords in their dominant hand to attack the enemy -- an approach action -- and raise their shields with their non-dominant hand to fend off attack -- an avoidance action #brain #emotion #DBS #avoidance #left-handed - sciencedaily.com Get an email when henry copeland finds goodquotes on these topics: Subscribe All DNA x36 insulin x3

A truly relaxing island paradise
The island of Ko Samui is a tiny tropical paradise. With shores lined with coconut trees, endless white sand beaches, and stunning turquoise blue water, we'll understand if you have the urge to set up stakes here permanently. Parts of the island like Chaweng beach have the air of a Photoshopped beach vacation—that is, they're just a little too pristine and perfect and lacking in authentic character. But there are still plenty of unspoiled (and uncrowded) places to kick back and relax with your toes in the sand.
Snorkel in the waters and recline in the shade of a coconut palm as the Big Buddha overlooks in Bang Rak on the northeastern tip of the island. This giant statue of a Buddha is an impressive sight to be seen. If you've had enough sun and sand (though we're not entirely sure that's possible!) head inland to the rainforest to see spectacular waterfalls at Na Muang.
And if you're really looking for an escape, retreat to the tranquil luxury of one of the many full-service spas found in the hotels around Chaweng and Lamai beaches. Treat yourself to some well-deserved pampering for your mind, body, and soul.

Beautiful warm weather has finally hit our region, and also keeping with that there are increasingly more insects that are starting to reveal themselves. I have no idea regarding you, yet I have even started to see wasps building nests in my yard and also out structures, meanings that I'm going to need to telephone a control expert and get a shot of pesticide before these things really start taking over my yard! With that said being stated, we think it would be a good idea to take a quick look at why it is necessary to actually eliminate these pesky buggers!
Insect command is the process of managing or handling of a particular types that has actually been defined as a pest. A bug is that varieties that is perceived to be harmful to a person s health, the setup or even the financial climate.
Why Is It So Important?
Bloodsuckers, if not handled could cost you. Numerous cash are invested yearly by folks in repairing damages caused by insects. There are bloodsuckers that function as carriers of hazardous pets in addition to human illness; others can ruin plants in the field. A rat in the roofing system can munch the electrical insulation bring about fires. Below are benefits of parasite control:
— Disorder is controlled as well as general health and wellness is improved
— Bloodsucker relevant crashes, such as fouled sidewalks are gotten rid of.
— For a business. Insect command improves visuals considered that it offers some degree of cleanliness in products.
— Threat of prosecution because of breaching the food as well as medicines act is minimized.
There are bunches of different kinds of pests. Each of them has its special damage to folks and also the setup. Some are right here explained:
— Termites: these could take advantage of paper, wood or other tree item. A flock of termites has concerning 300,000 termites. Otherwise taken care of, termites can be damaging to frameworks.

9 Reasons to visit Sri Lanka's east coast
Sri Lanka is emerging as one of the world's coolest destinations, with growing numbers flocking to hotspots like the southern port town of Galle, and the tea pl…
Sri Lanka's dynamic capital, COLOMBO, seems totally out of proportion with the rest of the country, stretching for 50km along the island's western seaboard in a long and formless urban straggle that is now home to around three million people. The city's sprawling layout and congested streets make it difficult to get to grips with, while a lack of obvious charms means that it's unlikely to win many immediate friends, especially if your first taste of the capital is via the hour-long drive from the airport through the northern breeze-block suburbs and hooting files of weaving traffic.
There's plenty to enjoy beneath the unpromising exterior, especially if you're interested in getting behind the tourist clichés and finding out what makes contemporary Sri Lanka tick – it's definitely a place that grows on you the longer you stay, and is worth a day out of even the shortest itinerary. The city musters few specific sights, but offers plenty of atmosphere and quirky character: a heady admixture of Asian anarchy, colonial charm and modern chic. Shiny office blocks rub shoulders with tumbledown local cafés and shops, while serene Buddhist shrines and colonial churches stand next to the garishly multicoloured towers of Hindu temples – all evidence of the rich stew of races and religions that have gone into the making of this surprisingly cosmopolitan city. And for sheer adrenaline, a walk through the crowded bazaars of the Pettah or a high-speed rickshaw ride amid the kamikaze traffic of the Galle Road have no rival anywhere else in the country.
In the context of Sri Lanka's almost 2500 years of recorded history, Colombo is a relative upstart. Situated on the delta of the island's fourth-longest river, the Kelani Ganga, the Colombo area had been long settled by Muslim traders who established a flourishing trading settlement here from the eighth century onwards, but only rose to nationwide prominence at the start of the colonial period. The Sinhalese called the port Kolamba, which the poetically inclined Portuguese believed was derived from the Sinhalese word for mango trees (kola meaning "leaves", and amba meaning "mango"); it's more likely, though, that kolamba was an old Sinhala word meaning "port" or "ferry".
The first significant settlement in the area was 13km northeast of the modern city centre at Kelaniya, site of a famous Buddhist shrine which had developed by the thirteenth century into a major town; the nearby settlement of Kotte, 11km southeast of the modern city, served as the capital of the island's main Sinhalese lowland kingdom from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries. Despite the proximity of both Kelaniya and Kotte, however, Colombo remained a relatively insignificant fishing and trading port until the arrival of the Portuguese in 1518. The Portuguese constructed the fort that subsequently formed the nucleus of modern Colombo and, in 1597, attacked and destroyed both Kotte and Kelaniya. Portuguese control of Colombo only lasted until 1656, however, when they were ousted by the Dutch after a seven-month siege. The Dutch remained in control for almost 150 years, rebuilding the fort, reclaiming land from the swampy delta using the system of canals that survive to this day, and creating spacious new tree-lined suburbs.
In 1796, Colombo fell to the British, following Dutch capitulation to the French in the Napoleonic Wars. The city was made capital of Ceylon, while new road and rail links with Kandy further enhanced the city's burgeoning prosperity. With the construction of a new harbour at the end of the nineteenth century, Colombo overtook Galle as the island's main port, becoming one of the great entrepôts of Asia and acquiring the sobriquet the "Charing Cross of the East" thanks to its location at the crossroads of Indian Ocean trade.
Colombo retained its importance following independence, and has continued to expand at an exponential rate ever since, though not without sometimes disastrous side effects. Growing islandwide Sinhalese–Tamil tensions erupted with tragic results in mid-1983, during the month subsequently christened Black July, when Sinhalese mobs, with the apparent connivance and encouragement of the police and army, went on the rampage throughout the city, murdering perhaps as many as two thousand innocent Tamils and reducing significant portions of the Pettah to ruins – a watershed in Sinhalese–Tamil relations which led, almost inevitably, to fully fledged civil war. During the civil war itself, the city was repeatedly targeted by LTTE suicide bombers, most notably in 1996, when the massive truck-bombing of the Central Bank killed almost a hundred people and succeeded, along with other attacks, in reducing Colombo's historic Fort district to a heavily militarized ghost town which is only now slowly recovering from its wartime trauma.
Despite its traumatic recent past, the city's irrepressible commercial and cultural life continues apace, now mainly concentrated in the southern suburbs of Kollupitiya and Bambalapitiya, and in the rebuilt and revitalized Pettah. And for all its problems, Colombo remains a fascinating melting pot of the island's Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim, Burgher and expatriate communities, who combine to give the place a uniquely forward-thinking and outward-looking character quite unlike anywhere else in the island – one which gives a glimpse of what a multi-ethnic, twenty-first-century Sri Lanka might become, communal tensions permitting.

Amoeba Records Deals With Orphan Works By Pretending It Can Just Digitize & Sell Now, But Pay Later
from the not-quite-how-it-works dept
Basically, Amoeba decided that if it couldn't find the copyright holder, it would just hold money for them in escrow, and be willing to hand it over should they ever come calling. And, while this might seem like a viable plan in a world that made some sense, it's not what the law allows. At all. Fleishman explores all of the legal nuances (including the fun stuff about how pre-1972 sound recordings are under wacky state copyright laws that have different rules, and won't go into the public domain for much longer than other works). Here's a snippet of the piece:
Where does this leave Amoeba? It seems to be standing on the notion that orphaned works are up for grabs so long as you pay out the owners' cut later when it's claimed. Orphaned works are creations for which no clear knowledge of ownership exists. But there's no provision in U.S. law for how to deal with orphaned works of any kind, music or otherwise. A proposal from 2006 was languishing at the Copyright Office, as it requires Congress to take it up (ha) to establish a clear procedure in law.Go read the whole thing. It's yet another example of how copyright law makes no sense to most people.

When buying gear, new runners should focus on their shoes. "Appropriate footwear is the number one investment a beginner should make," says Diane Proud, running and triathlon pro at the Cooper Fitness Center in Dallas. Good sneakers typically cost around $80 to $100, but it's money well spent. By design, these shoes help your body deal with the repeated impact of running. Indeed, in 2005 the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society surveyed 1,200 runners and found that almost two-thirds of them had injuries -- such as tendinitis, blisters, and arch pain -- related to inappropriate footwear.
To get properly laced up, Proud recommends a visit to a running shoe specialty store. "Don't go to Shoes R Us," she says. "They might sell shoes at a great discount, but the staff is usually not trained properly." Specialty store employees know how to assess your foot to determine your individual biomechanics.
Most running shoes fall into three categories. To determine which type you need, conduct the "wet test" before you shop, says J. Chris Coetzee, M.D., a foot and ankle surgeon in Minneapolis who also has run 27 marathons. The next time you step out of the shower, look at the footprints you leave on the bathmat. If your foot shape is full with very little curve on the inside edge, you're probably an overpronator -- your foot rolls in too far, stressing your ankles -- and you need a motion-control shoe, which has a wide, extra-rigid sole to prevent rolling. If your footprint features a deep curve on the inside edge, you probably have high arches. Your feet don't absorb impact very well, putting you at risk for ankle and knee pain. Look for a cushioned shoe, designed to minimize the pounding. Finally, a normal, or neutral, footprint will have a moderate curve on the inside edge, cutting in about one-third of the width of the foot. This foot-type rolls in just enough to absorb impact when it strikes the ground. Neutral runners can choose a stability shoe, which offers cushioning in the forefoot and support in the heel, but Coetzee says these runners also do well in a cushioned shoe.
Choose a size that gives you at least a thumb's-width between your toes and the end of the shoe, and shop at the end of the day, when your feet are at their biggest. Take a quick jog around the store before you buy; running shoes should be instantly comfortable, Coetzee says.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) -- South African cyclist David George, a former teammate of Lance Armstrong, admitted using the blood-boosting drug EPO on Tuesday after failing a doping test.
George failed an out-of-competition test on Aug. 29, the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport said Tuesday. He was provisionally suspended by Cycling South Africa and faces a two-year ban.
George cycled on Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team in 1999 and 2000. George said he wouldn't ask for his B sample to be tested and would accept his punishment.
"I know the result will ultimately be the same. This decision will be communicated to Cycling South Africa (CSA) and Drug-Free Sport shortly and according to protocol," George said in a statement: "I fully understand the consequences of my admission and will bear the results of this."
Last month, Armstrong was banned for life by the International Cycling Union and stripped of his seven Tour de France titles because of his role in a doping scandal, which was outlined in a report by the U.S. Anti-doping Agency. Other former teammates testified against Armstrong in the report, which said he used steroids, EPO and blood transfusions.
George won silver in the road race at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and bronze in the time trial in the Kuala Lumpur Games in 1998. He also represented South Africa at two Olympics, in 1996 and 2000.
"Cycling, as you know, has been a confusing space, and although it has given me incredible moments it has also given me experiences that no person or young athlete should have to go through," George said.
EPO, or Erythropoietin, increases the red blood cell count and increases an athlete's oxygen carrying capacity.
"His biological passport indicated suspicious activity and that triggered a targeted test for EPO," SAIDS chief executive Khalid Galant said in announcing the positive test Tuesday. "A subsequent urine test came back positive for the banned EPO drug."
George apologized to his sponsors. But Nedbank, the backer of his current 360Life team, said it was immediately withdrawing its sponsorship.
"Nedbank has a zero tolerance towards the use of any banned substances or performance enhancing drugs and does not condone or support such use in any sport," the South African bank said.
William Newman, the president of Cycling South Africa, said doping was "not endemic" in South African cycling despite the sport's battered international image.

A lot has happened with the Husqvarna name in the past few years. Recently sold to Stefan Pierer, head man at KTM AG, the Swedish dirt bike brand was also recently reunited with Husaberg, the brand established from the remnants left behind of the company in Sweden from when Husqvarna moved to Italy.
Folding Husaberg back into Husqvarna, the reformed off-road company was reintroduced to the market in 2014 as essentially rebadged KTM motorcycles — a similar statement can be said about the Husky entry in the Moto3 World Championship.
Not all of the 2014 line came to the US market though, and for 2015 we will see the company's updated enduro models, the Husqvarna FE 350 S & Husqvarna FE 501 S, come stateside. Other additions to the US market include the FC 350 four-stroke MX and the TE 125 two-stroke machines. And yes, they're still basically rebadged KTMs.

Guest MINDSETTER™ Steve Durkee: Why Providence Needs Superman
Friday, March 07, 2014
With its unique four-story lantern sitting at the top of its twenty-six stories, it is a stately, gracious example of an Art-Deco style skyscraper.
Built in 1928, the building was erected as a monument to the city and state's economic might. As the tallest building in Rhode Island, and the most recognizable building in the region, the Industrial Trust Tower at 111 Westminster Street defines the Providence skyline and stands as a symbol to the city and state's history.
On these things, we can all agree. The question is, as the building sits vacant, where should we go from here?
Constructing the path for redevelopment
Cornish Associates was hired by the owner of 111 Westminster Street, High Rock Development, to help figure out the path forward with the redevelopment of this important and iconic building. We analyzed several different options, analyzing costs, benefits and impacts of each. Our study concluded that a mixed-use building, with a heavy emphasis on residential development is the most viable and most beneficial option.
The goal is to repurpose the 400,000 square foot building into 284 apartments of varying sizes and price points with 35,000 sf of office and retail space on the lower floors, with it's stunning grand banking hall remaining publicly accessible. This important project requires political leadership and a commitment from the owner to save the building and ensure it contributes to our economy once again.
Supply and demand
Why rental apartments? Why not build office space? The answer is one of simple supply and demand and real life tax and real estate value consequences. Two separate economic impact studies both concluded the current office market in Providence is weak, with historically and consistently low absorption rates for office space. Restoring the building for office use would have a strong negative impact on surrounding office space in the city by flooding the supply and forcing rents down.
The apartment market in downtown Providence is very strong with current occupancy rates at approximately 97%. The redevelopment of 111 Westminster Street as largely residential units meets an immediate demand for housing downtown. Drawing from Cornish's experience with nearly 200 apartments along Westminster Street, it is anticipated that these units will appeal to a diverse set of renters, from students to empty-nesters, young professionals and those moving into the downtown seeking a more urban lifestyle.
For any significant historic building renovation in Rhode Island to be successful - there must be a public investment in the project. Why is this the case? The challenges of renovating historic structures are multiplied by their size coupled with current market conditions that won't support the huge cost of renovations - making any return on private investment alone untenable. However, any public investment in the renovation of historic projects is truly an investment with a positive return.
Recent history indicates that for every dollar invested in redeveloping historic buildings through the State Historic Tax Credit program, over five dollars of economic activity is generated for the local and state economy. This was true for the Masonic Temple project, the Arcade and many other projects. And it is true for 111 Westminster and the newly proposed South Street Power Station project. No owner can renovate 111 Westminster without this public investment. Another point worth mentioning is that this is not a "bail-out". The current owner, who has no debt on the property, has recognized the building is worth significantly less then when it was purchased and has acknowledged a loss of approximately $30 million dollars, 75% of the buildings value. This is a separate matter from the actual cost to redevelop the building where state and city investment is required.
Investments in the community
There's a long history in Rhode Island of the state working with building owners, developers and institutions to save historic buildings that can become an important part of our economy. These projects are investments in the community, provide jobs, increase local values, enhance the state economy and instill pride in what is great about this Rhode Island. Recent examples include the Peerless Building, the Hotel Providence, The Foundry, the Mercantile Block developed by AS220 and the Providence G project.
A generation ago, Governor Bruce Sundlun along with other state and city leaders refused to allow the Shepard's Building to be demolished understanding the negative impact it would have on Providence - the same goes for PPAC and before that the Biltmore. Today, the two transformative projects that demand the same foresight and leadership are the renovation of the former South Street Power Station into a shared nursing education center with Brown University, Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island as partners with the city and state. The other is 111 Westminster Street. When completed both of these projects will be catalytic and have a seismic impact on markets, on people, on the city landscape and urban possibilities. These projects are worthy of public investment.
Vacancy creates perception issue
The negative perception and impact of having the largest buildings in the capital city remain vacant will have a chilling effect on future development and long term planning in Providence.
Bringing strong leadership to bear to transform these buildings sends the positive message necessary to attract much needed investment from outside the state and sends a strong message that big things are possible here.
The type of public investment needed to move this project forward is not comparable to risky subsidies that failed, such as 38 Studios. This investment isn't a gamble; it is a proven winner, as we've seen with the history of the State Historic Tax Credit Program. And, the state doesn't make any investment until the project is 100% complete.
111 Westminster Street needs to be redeveloped and no developer can do it without state and municipal support. Like every significant building before it, a public/private partnership with the state and the city is required. Leaving it empty will have a negative impact on the economic development of Providence for years to come.

What will it take to move the Rhode Island economy forward in 2014? GoLocal talked with elected officials, candidates, and leaders for their economic development plans in the coming year.
Below are key elements of the economic priorities for Governor Lincoln Chafee, Speaker of the House Gordon Fox, Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed, House Minority Leader Brian Newberry, gubernatorial hopefuls General Treasurer Gina Raimondo and Ken Block, and RI Center for Freedom and Prosperity's Mike Stenhouse.
Governor Lincoln Chafee
Speaker Gordon Fox
"Among the many pieces of legislation the House will address will be issues of higher education affordability, expanding apprenticeship opportunities, and offering help to our manufacturers. We will also look closely at our tax structure to make sure we are competitive with our neighboring states, including the corporate tax and the estate tax, and I will carefully review the recommendations of the commission studying our sales tax."
Senate Pres. Paiva-Weed
Greg Pare, spokesperson for the Senate President, said that the Senate is planning to issue recommendations soon on workforce development initiatives to address the skills gap among Rhode Island job seekers.
"An example of a proposal anticipated in that report is the elimination of state's Indirect Cost Recovery on the Job Development Fund, which is about $1.2 million this year. Those funds would be directed towards job training and skills development programs to provide immediate impact and help workers gain the skills necessary to succeed in today's economy."
Gen. Treasurer Raimondo
"To grow our economy, we need to make Rhode Island a leader in manufacturing again. Great things can happen at the intersection of government, higher education, and the private sector. Rhode Island is lucky to have thriving institutions in each of these three sectors, and we need to foster collaboration among them to find solutions to our challenges, and spark our economy.
By promoting partnerships in high-growth areas, [Rhode Island Innovation Institute] will help grow our manufacturing base, and create new, high-quality jobs."
Ken Block
"First, we need to fix Rhode Island's broken Unemployment Insurance program. The state's Unemployment Insurance tax, paid by employers, is ranked worst in the country by the Tax Foundation. It is one of the factors that makes Rhode Island an uncompetitive place to do business. Also, it is inherently unfair that a large group of businesses are effectively subsidizing the payrolls of a small group of businesses who misuse the system. There is a simple change to state law that can fix this problem."
"Rhode Island's temporary disability tax (TDI) is broken, and places an unnecessarily high tax burden on Rhode Islanders. This tax, paid for by employees, will be reduced by changing the way we manage the program. As Governor, I will substantially reduce the cost of purchasing this insurance by requiring that Rhode Island's program adhere to national norms."
"To best encourage new job creation, I propose the following tax incentive: exempt from future capital gains taxes any new investments in Rhode Island-based businesses. This change would create a powerful incentive for investors who are deciding where to locate a new business, or where they relocate an existing one. This proposal has the potential change the economic playing field for Rhode Island."
Minority Leader Newberry
"It would be overly ambitious to set being #1 as a goal right now, but we think 25, the middle of the pack, is a reasonable goal to set, one we think we should pursue, and one we can achieve," said Newberry. "One of the initiatives is a requirement that every bill receive a fiscal evaluation before it can be heard by committee, better insuring that legislators know the real cost of the legislation they are acting on."
"Another proposal would exempt social security income from RI state income tax, making Rhode Island more tax-friendly for our seniors and keeping them here rather than migrating to more tax-friendly states."
"Strong action is way overdue here. Nearly 60% of Rhode Islanders now believe that the state is headed in the wrong direction. We think they're right, and our central goal is to get it turned around."
Mike Stenhouse

(Props to our boy b0redj0red for the find.)
There's an old proverb that goes "Learn to walk before you run." I can think of no better way to better describe the ass-whooping you are about to witness. Apparently the gentleman in the blue shorts, packed to the brim with testosterone and hubris, thought that he had acquired the necessary skills to take on the Muay Thai instructor donning the green shorts and Alessio Sakara-esque tatts. Unfortunately, our boy Blue learned everything he needed to know about striking from a Bob Sapp highlight reel. When this kind of dangerous ignorance is combined with an unwillingness to admit defeat until you are slung over the ropes in a heap ala Rampage Jackson, well, you end up slung over the ropes in a heap like Rampage Jackson.
While it's hard to knock a guy for his fearlessness, we would also like to inform Blue that there is in fact a middle ground between the heavy bag and Tong Po's cousin to test your skills. Consider that while you're eating cheeseburgers through a straw for the next week or two.
