WASHINGTON, May 29 (UPI) -- The White House Tuesday defended U.S. taxpayer investment in bankrupt solar panel maker Solyndra after Mitt Romney's campaign derided it.
Romney -- the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who has drawn criticism from President Barack Obama for his bottom-line priorities that led to the demise of some companies while he headed Bain Capital -- said pumping millions of dollars in federal loan guarantees into Solyndra and other green energy start-ups was a waste of the public's money.
Romney's campaign released a Web video attacking the Obama administration's investments in Solyndra and three other renewable-energy firms that lost money and shed workers, The Washington Post reported.
"Obama is giving taxpayer money to big donors and then watching them lose it," the video's narrator says. "Good for them. Bad for us."
Jay Carney, Obama's press secretary, told reporters at his daily briefing that investing in technology firms that can develop clean energy and help wean the United States off imported oil is something Obama believes in.
"I would simply say what we've said all along, which is that this president is committed to the proposition that we will not cede the industries of the future to the Chinese or the Europeans or the Brazilians or the Indians, or any other nation on Earth," Carney said. "Clean tech industries will continue to grow. And some, apparently, in this country are willing to see those industries developed and the jobs created, those industries created in other countries than the United States."
Americans, Carney said, "broadly agree" with the need to develop cutting-edge technologies.
Asked to differentiate between bankruptcy of firms backed by federal loans and those that failed after being taken over by Bain Capital, Carney said "the president believes, as he's made clear, that a president's responsibility is not just to those who win, but those who -- for example, in a company where there have been layoffs or a company that's gone bankrupt, that we have to make sure that those folks have the means to find other employment, that they have the ability to train for other kinds of work."

After Edward left, Bella was heartbroken. The only thing that helped her get through it was Jacob, her best friend. But Jacob wants to be more than just friends. But how can she give her heart to him when it's broken? And what happens when Edward and the rest of the Cullens come back?
1. Trying to fix the broken
Rating 0/5 Word Count 695 Review this Chapter
I know there's no place to hide
Stuck between the burning shade and the fading light
I was broken for a long time
But it's over now
But it's over now
-Robert Pattinson: Broken
"Please Jake, please don't leave me. I won't survive without you."..."What do you want? Anything. I'll give you anything to stay. Stay with me. Please," Bella begged in her room, a few steps away from Jacob. Charlie was still at work.
Jacob looked at her with agonized eyes. He didn't want to leave, but he couldn't do this anymore. He couldn't just be her friend when he craved for more, burned for more, ached for more. He was in love with her and he knew that if she would just try, she could fall in love with him too. He stepped closer to her and cupped her cheeks, wiping her tears away. He hated seeing her cry.
"Please Jacob," she said, her voice weak and raw from emotion. He shook his head and pulled her into his embrace. "I don't want to leave, he said softly in her hair. "But I can't do this anymore. I can't just be your friend Bella. I'm in love with you. If you could just try to love me back. No, not even that, just let me love you, then I could stay, but you can't expect me to stay when you keep pulling away from me." He pulled back so he could see her face.
She looked up at him with anguished eyes. "I don't know if I can," she whispered. He shook his head again. "No, you haven't tried Bella, you're still holding on to Edward," she cringed at his name but he ignored it, "You have to let him go. He's not coming back."
She looked down as she let out a cry and fresh new tears erupted.
"I'm sorry Bella, but you have to move on. It's not healthy. It's been over two years. I helped you in the beginning, I did my best to help mend you-," Bella cut him off, "You have Jake! You have helped mend me. I don't know where I'd be without you. Without you-," she tried to continue.
"But I didn't push you. I knew you weren't ready to move on, but Bella, I can't just keep forcing down my feelings. Please Bella, we could take it slow. We don't even have to do anything, I just need to know that you will try to let him go, try to let me in," Jacob begged.
Bella bit her bottom lip and kept her eyes on the floor as she thought. She knew that what she was doing was unfair to Jacob, but it was so hard to open herself up again. She knew that if she didn't try to get over Edward that she would lose Jacob. But Jacob didn't understand how much she loved Edward, how much she still loved Edward. But it wasn't fair to herself either to keep holding on to someone who didn't love her anymore.
She looked up and into Jacob's eyes and she could see herself being in love with him. She knew that if she let go of Edward that she would fall in love with Jacob, it would be easy. As easy as it sounds- falling, just let go and leave it to gravity.
But how to let go? Deep down, she knew that she could never fully let go of Edward, but maybe if she buried him real deep inside her then she could love Jacob.
But how could Jake want her? Two years and she was still broken. A whole lot better, but still broken. But Jacob was the one that made her a whole lot better. He had found her heart's broken pieces and started to solve their puzzle, started to put them back together, after all. All that was left now was to glue the pieces back together. Could Jacob do that? Well, she had to try.
"Okay Jake, I'll try."

"The Tuesday night Rebirth gig at the Maple Leaf has iconographic standing in the lore of New Orleans nightlife... Something you can count on. No need to consult a schedule.
Long before Katrina, the Rebirth shows at Maple Leaf were where I'd drop in from time to time to remind myself why I live here, why I love here. Why I am here.
For the uninitiated (and if that's you, shouldn't you ask yourself why?) the Rebirth Brass Band is one of the veteran standard bearers of the New Orleans brass-band renaissance and I realize that if you ask me what that means, well . . . I don't know. What is New Orleans brass-band music? Got me. Jazz, I guess, in its basic DNA. Layered with rock influences. Smothered in hip-hop beat and attitude. All rolled together in a scary marching band.
It is an explosion of sound, just drums and horns -- who needs anything else, really? -- and it is the sound of Mardi Gras, of second-lines, street parades and house parties. Of New Orleans.
The Rebirth Tuesday night gigs have been colossal draws for years, crowded, sweaty, throbbing, disorganized affairs packed with Tulane students, downtown hipsters, stiff-collar types and soul brothers.
It is so energetic, so in the groove, so diverse and so perfect that it almost looks contrived, like if a director wanted to create the quintessential bar scene for a movie, this is what he would make.
But Hollywood could never make this. Not on a Tuesday night. And not in any other town.
It's organic. Sexy. Maybe even mildly dangerous -- all that sweat. In the ultimate act of self-absorption, I'm going to quote myself, from a tourist guidebook I wrote several years ago, trying to capture a moment at one of these shows: "Loud. Fast. Free-falling. Funky. You've got 10 new friends. The girl in your arms -- what's her name? Who cares? Dance. If you saw yourself in a mirror at this instant, you wouldn't recognize
yourself. And that can be a good thing."
I couldn't say it any better myself. And this past Tuesday night, that's what it was. Good medicine. Like I knew it would be.
"Bounce" is the name of another kind of New Orleans music, our unique and commercially successful ghetto rap scene, but it should be the name for brass-band music, too. Because that's what you end up doing. Bouncing.
It's impossible not to. If you can't dance to this, you are on life support or maybe already dead.
If I don't feel better after doing this, I told myself on the way to the Maple Leaf, then I am irretrievable.
But I did. In the thick of a too-hot crowd full of strangers and old friends, watching 10, 11, maybe a dozen guys packed on a too-small stage under bare light bulbs and a pressed-tin ceiling, feeling the release of the fist-thrusting call-and-response, staring into a wall of horns whose music is so muscular that it almost takes on a physical manifestation and reaches out and beats you about the head and grabs your collar and screams in your face: "You are ALIVE, boy! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" And I do. And I am home again."

Systems for monitoring and controlling dynamic processes in industry, data and energy supply centers, traffic and the financial world (e.g. dealer desks at the stock exchange) are subjected to enormous challenges. Electronics in this area are at the cutting edge of technology, and workstation design offers optimal ergonomics – corresponding exactly to Elabo's profil and competence spectrum.
|Optimal Sight
Process control rooms often combine individual workstation monitors with large central monitors or large screens. Elabo takes care of the technical integration and the ergonomically optimized positioning so that working with both presentation levels can be as stress-free as possible. The monitor fasteners are equipped with snap closings so that exchanging a monitor is possible without any significant operational interruptions.
|Workstation and Monitor
In configurations with large central monitors or projections, it is important that the view from the workstations to the presentation is unobstructed. Elabo ProcessControlsystems dispose of an integrated foldaway surface in the rear table area, thus enabling a low arrangement of the lower monitor line: the lower monitor edge is flush with the table's edge, markedly improving the view over the monitors and toward a central wall in front.
Electric motor solutions for adjusting units are also in high demand since they provide great flexibility. In the event of an exchange of monitors, new types can be easily installed.
|Intelligent Integration of Technology
Elabo ProcessControlsystems have an understructure for housing all necessary technologies, thereby enabling the direct cabling toward user interfaces. This technology unit is equipped with a quick locking system so that it can be accessed within a few seconds when servicing is necessary. If desired, the technology unit can be equipped with a bus system that uses fibre optic cables.
The understructures can also be air-conditioned, and corresponding floor outlets facilitate cable routing from underneath while enabling uncomplicated installation. All height-adjustable versions comprise industrial drag chains for cabling between the technology unit and the table top. This ensures optimal protection of the cabling.
|Ideal for Any User
TaCom Lift is the electric motor version of the Elabo control room concept. It stands for an optimal and ergonomic design. According to requirements, height is incrementally variable. Studies show, for example, that stress situations can be better handled while standing. TaCom also makes it possible to quickly adjust the height to the current user. This flexibility is in particularly high demand for control room shift operation.

It was a soggy Friday. A driving rain pounded the trolley tracks at Germantown Ave and Gorgas Lane as vehicles splashed noisily past the temporary offices of the Mt. Airy Learning Tree.
Inside the recently renovated – and dry – Animal Hospital building, newly minted MALT director Judy Weinstein sat down to discuss the educational organization, colloquially known as MALT, which she described as a more "positive slice of life."
Weinstein recently became MALT's executive director, bringing with her a vast amount of enthusiasm and experience in the nonprofit world.
No stranger to nonprofit work, Weinstein has been involved with Big Brother/Big Sister Association of Philadelphia, Center in the Park, Neighborhood Interfaith Movement, The Northwest Center, Women's Medical Fund and others, both as an employee of a volunteer. Her volunteer work, she said, was excellent preparation for her new role.
"I was on several boards, and I was the chair of several boards," she said. "So I have a lot of experience with board governance and board work."
After Jonna Naylor, the previous executive director, stepped down, MALT's board of directors asked Weinstein to fill in as the interim director to "figure out the new staffing model of going from four to three staff members," Weinstein said. She was named executive director in June.
Weinstein and her family (her husband is well-known local businessman Ken Weinstein) have lived in in the Mt. Airy area for many years, and she began working at MALT as its Director of Special Programs in 2008. Because the organization has a small permanent staff, Weinstein said, she "did a little bit of everything." For the most part, however, Weinstein oversaw special projects and fund-raisers such as the Historic House Tours, the MALT Ball (a dancing extravaganza), and a fund-raising concert in the Wissahickon.
She was also responsible for the "Make This Our Home Campaign," which raised the funds to buy the Greene Street headquarters.
Founded by Chestnut Hill resident Barbara Bloom in 1980, MALT, Weinstein said, "has been this constantly growing and evolving organization."
"We've been around for 32 years," she noted, "and it feels like in some ways it feeds off of itself because the more students we have enrolled, the more people know about us, the more teachers and locations want to get involved. So it kind of has a little bit of a life of its own."
MALT's central mission, Weinstein said, "is to offer a wide variety of classes to the diverse population in this area and to promote lifetime learning."
The organization has also remained committed to affordability.
"We've barely raised our prices in many years," Weinstein said, adding that in challenging economic times "we really are trying to stay true" to that doctrine.
From its initial 17 classes that drew 125 registrants, the Learning Tree now offers more than 750 classes a year for more than 5,000 students.
"We have a really great track record with a lot of the classes that have been running for years," Weinstein said.
Programs such as learning to swim, horseback riding and rowing have always been incredibly popular, but in the upcoming term, Weinstein would like to showcase the newer classes by offering early-registration discounts.
MALT will distribute its fall course catalogs in mid-August.
"People are really excited," Weinstein said. "They always say 'Oh I always see that catalog!' and 'you offer so many great classes; I've always wanted to take a class!'"
She said that often "people have a self-perception that they don't have time to take a class." Her goal, she said, is to encourage some of these busier members of the community to enroll.
MALT's permanent location at Greene and Hortter Streets in Mt. Airy, which the organization purchased four years ago, was undergoing renovations for a significant portion of the summer. Weinstein and her colleagues will return to their home base on Aug. 10.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has told quarterback Joe Flacco that it's time for him to fill the leadership void created by the retirement of Ray Lewis.
Running back Ray Rice doesn't need to be told that it's time to step up.
"A leadership role is something I definitely don't mind taking upon now, because I was mentored by one of the greatest leaders probably ever to play the game in Ray Lewis," Rice said Sunday, via Rick Carpinello of USA Today.
"A lot of his leading was by example, and when he spoke, everybody listened because they had that respect for him," Rice said of Lewis. "So I think being a leader comes with how much respect people have for you. These guys look at the way I work and they understand that my actions are going to show on the field."
There's plenty of room for both Flacco and Rice to both lead the team. As long as they're on the same page about the direction in which the locker room is going.
Based on how they've performed since entering the league together in 2008, it's safe to say they are.

In another group when I told friends about occasions like someone's death or marriage in Pakistani society they barely believed me, so I thought of covering marriage of a relative recently held.
GANA traditionally a band with hanging strips named "gana" is bound to groom's wrist in a ceremony a weak or so prior to the marriage day which officially marks the beginning of marriage. Groom wears gana upto marriage night until it is removed by his bride at wedding night.(though in this case groom refused to wear it for so long). It got to do something with good luck because people also hang "gana" to their newly contructed houses too.
After that day both men and women of the village gather every evening in the bride's and groom's houses where they sing traditional songs and perform dances.
Shaker Marriage friends are officially announced(called sambalas). Groom along with friends visits one friend's houses per evening prior to the marriage where they are offered tea and sweets. Friend's family give a tray of sweets and cloth of a dress to the groom as present on the occasion.
Mehndi two days prior to marriage mehndi ceremony is held in the evening. Both bride and groom are applied mehndi(a skin coloring extract of Hina plant). Women usually wear green or yellow on the occasion(resembling color of plant or the extract). Other participants mostly women also apply mehndi on their hands.
Daaj Both bride and groom's families put wedding cloths, jewelry and other things prepared for the marriage on beds and women of village are properly invited to have a look on them a day prior to the marriage. This occasion is named as "daaj".
Ghroli marriage day starts with a ceremony named ghroli(pitcher) in which grooms sisters and relative women go singing to the village common well to fetch water. Pitcher keep on shifting the heads of women relative to the groom. In the end groom bring it down from a sister's head and pay her some money for the effort.
Sehra Bandi Then groom changes and ride on a horse back. His sisters feed his marriage horse. If marriage is in the same village then groom rides his way to the bride's house. But in case of distant marriage it is just a ride to local shrine and grave yard. On the way people stand in front of their gates having a glass of milk in their hands which is offered to the groom. After drinking it he puts some money in the empty glasses.
On the marriage day groom visits graves of his close relatives. In this case a sad moment because of father's absence on the marriage day.
Marriage ceremony takes place in bride's house. In this case in a marriage hall accompanied with several rituals. I will not go in details of that but it is a grand affair involving several hundred people from both sides.
Broom is given a glass of milk by bride's sister for which he got to pay. In order to raise the money groom's shoe is stolen. Here groom is trying to escape the steal.
Marriage Bed Bride on arriving to the groom's house sits on a very elaborately prepared marriage bed called "saij".
Walima On day after marriage walima feast is given by the grooms family.

Amer, I am so grateful for you and your willingness to share your story. I know it is not easy to read criticism or comments that may or may not be true. That is where the tough skin comes in. Being an educator, you have the power to make a difference in your community ... and I think ... in the world.
Customs that empower an individua to flourish are treasures worth keeping. Customs that keep people in their place under someone else or under some institutional boot, need to be challenged and changed.
It requires thought, conviction, stamina, courage, and all those good things you already have. I can imagine you using your fine skills to empower others to flourish. You are doing it all ready.
Joan you said, "I made an error in suggesting you post your story on this site." If by "this site" you mean Hang With Friends, amer's discussion topic is fine. While marriage customs intersect many topics such as culture, religion, and politics, our group is a good place to talk about things which are outside of other group topics. Nor are we expected to all agree on everything, as long as we're civil, which everyone here has been.
Amer, in my family, it was not uncommon for men to have mistresses, even as they had wives at home who bore one child after another and very close together. Most women of my grandmother's era stopped having children after five or six and I asked why that was. One told me she stopped having sex after the fifth child. Tensions in her household were high and I thought it was because my grandfather had a mistress. Looking back, I think the mistress was a relief to grandma. The tension was she had full responsibility of raising their children by herself because he was always at the "Smoke Shop". Asking my other grandmother, I received the same answers and for the same reasons.
I wonder what both sets of grandparents lives would have been like if they had family planning, if they limited their children to as many as they could afford, and there were no third party intruding into their lives.
I come from a small town and everyone knew everything about everyone. One of the social gatherings was quilt making. Women of the village gathered in my grandmother's living room where a huge wooden frame was pulled up to the ceiling for storage and dropped down when they worked on patch work quilts. They chattered endlessly, I suppose like in the old days when women gathered at the well to get water and news. Their chatter implied to me some commonalities: they all had more children than they could care for, all the husbands spent time at the "Smoke Shop", and when the wives became tired or ill or frustrated they would complain and get a very hard slap, if not a beating. I remember a lot of black eyes, bruised arms, and weeping and wailing. Nothing ever changed for any of them until they were dead and buried.
For my mother's generation, the Great Depression was coming to an end, WWII was building up, until all the men, except for a very few who farmed or worked in the grain elevators, went to war or went to construction jobs to build air fields and military bases around the world. My father and all but one of my uncles left; women took over the businesses, shops, banking, and provided goods and services to our community. Many women moved to the cities to work in factories or fill positions vacated by absent men gone to war. They didn't have the pill yet, but these women had much smaller families. After the war, they wanted to become homemakers but inflation made it impossible. Women started going to work for wages, My mother and many others returned to school for professional training. Returning soldiers wanted their wives doing their domestic work and do paid work as they could. It didn't take long for working mothers wearing out from the double load. An old tradition remained alive in the culture. Whine and complain, take a beating, forgive, and repeat and repeat and repeat. Husbands wanting stay-at home wives and frustrated when dinner wasn't ready or clothes weren't clean and they would turn to the method of control they learned from their fathers. Unresolved conflict remained, ancient methods of dealing with frustration remained.
My generation is the generation of the pill and of paid work for women and shared work with fathers. Husbands tried to use beatings to regain control over wives and wives said "NO". We simply left, finding no benefit in marriage. In fact, it is a barrier to happiness and health for many women. Dependent women need marriage; independent women don't chose it out of need, but out of desire for companionship.
We enter a new era. What of the old traditions are worthy of carrying forward and which should be dropped. Perhaps family life will strengthen, at least that is what is happening in my children's generation. Their families seem to work as teams, not as master and slaves. Children seem happier, doing very well at the hard sciences and I enjoy learning from them. "Great-grandchild, help me figure out this computer, please!"
From my perspective, life is getting far better for women ... and I hope for men.
Joan, some 20 years ago preparing an exam I took US history as a subject. Though I never took the exam but I had a handful of readings of American writers on US history. I have some idea of how modren America came into being and its society.
You are right it were the world wars which transformed woman status in US and Europe. Once women are economically independent, shakals of male dominance are broken. Unfortunatly nothing of sort took place here in our society. I too was a vocal and emotional feminist. You would be surprised to know that it were the women themseves who rejected and argued against my point of veiw of cruelity of male dominance. After years of such experiences I came to conclusion that lack of economic indipendance deprived them of confidance. They consider males as their protectors. Anybody talking against their protector seems to be an enemy.
Now I employ women only in my institution because there are many others who readily take males. In this way at least some of them can enjoy the financial confidance to challage the male supremacy. But it is like a drop in the occian. It will change centuries to change the evil cuture of male dominance. Unfortunatly there is no other way out.
My "Reply" button does not always work and my response to your comment may not be close to yours.
Amer, I know you are a feminist, and work to improve lives of women. I also know women resist change from domination and even abuse and it is difficult to understand why they become their own worst enemy. I found that true in my programs dealing with domestic violence. Some women don't want to take responsibility for their own safety and flourishing, some can't even think in terms of independence or interdependence, some fear they will fail and become "bag ladies" living on the street. I had those fear myself when I ran from an abusive home. Growing up with abuse, I didn't want my children growing up with that experience. It was tough on them because we left wealth and social standing. I could only work at minimum wage jobs tending tables in a restaurant until I completed my training, which took eight years. I did move up in job responsibility and earnings along the way, but it would not have happened if I had not decided to get an education.
My former husband and my parents and in-laws were my worst challenges, but I can say now that all the struggle was worth it ... and it couldn't have been done if I hadn't had a powerful support system of women and men who were not family. I couldn't even get a bank loan without the signature of my former husband or father, except for a enlightened man who understood my struggle and co-signed for me. Of course I paid back every cent with interest.
You face a much more difficult job empowering women. The women themselves, the institutions of your culture, including families, history, education, and resources to help lift them up, all these factors make it difficult.
Women you employ are a beginning. You offer women a chance to think, plan, organize, dream a little, and their seed will spread. I hope it doesn't take the funeral of all resisters before your culture is transformed. No one suffers with the independence of women ... some may not have all the privileges they once had ... but even men benefit by women functioning as full partners with men.
I respect you, Amer, and am glad you posted on this site. Very bright people read and respond to Ruth's fine postings. You belong here; you add to our understanding; you inspire us to speak frankly, openly, honestly, even when sometimes truth hurts. Truth doesn't harm if spoken by caring, compassionate people. You can also speak from your heart and you will be heard.
some fear they will fail and become "bag ladies" living on the street. I had those fear myself when I ran from an abusive home.
Joan, I know what you did looks easy in words, but it needs some personality to make the decision and some long years of hardship. It is even more difficult for women in our society. Greatest of psychological hurdles in a closly knitted society where everyone knows each other is earning a bad name for rest of life. It is very difficult to get women over this psychological barrier. All other things come after that.
But when a women with strong personality comes along with trouble, its a pleasure to help her. Usually they only need a little moral help that someone is standing with them. Rest is done by themselves. Sometimes matter goes beyond comfort zones(becomes matter of getting involved in others personal matters). My greatest wish is that no such instance comes in my life where I have to betray a woman in need.
Amer, Your values and your actions can only lift women and men and your culture to a higher plane and all will benefit. What you are able to do to support your women teachers and treating them as fully mature, healthy, responsible individuals will teach more than anything preached. When a woman grows in knowledge, learns how to reason and make decisions based on evidence, when she can stand on her own two feet and assert herself (within the restrictions of her culture) more people will observe and learn from such a woman. Know you have our support and we encourage you as you take on this momentous task.

2010: The Search Marketing Year in Preview
by Bruce Clay, January 15, 2010
As 2010 dawns, each day brings some discovery, and every week SEO becomes a new industry. Certainly SEO just one year ago is not the same as today, and looking forward, the only thing that is certain is that the future remains uncertain, as is traditional with everything search. The new year will bring substantial changes to our search engine optimization world worth calling out, and it is time once again to dust off the crystal ball and expound on the yearly trends we expect to see.
2009 was a year of evolutionary changes by the search engines in two key areas: the continued customization of search results for the individual user based upon behavior, location and query intent, and the introduction of new technologies as well as the modification of older techniques.
Personalization changes have improved the overall search experience for users by making results more relevant and more engaging, while the technology changes have added complexity and confusion to the entire search marketing industry and made many clients question the viability of the SEO investment. The introduction of canonical tags and the nofollow whiplash stand out as two prominent tech changes. Throw in a year of recession with inherently tight spending habits, and the ability of any company to remain current in this rapidly-shifting SEO world was lost.
Few of us in the search marketing space had the resources to perform the research needed to understand the changes, and even to question the claims. The result was that many smaller SEO firms had to stop performing testing and research and had no choice except to take the search engines at their word. That proved to be a mistake.
Conference and training budgets were hit hard, and many companies chose to go cheap instead of pursuing value. Unless you had no clients to begin with or had only long-term contracts, every SEO firm lost clients in 2009, revenues were impacted, and belt tightening was the rule and not the exception.
Where Online Goes, So Goes the Economy
In general, the economy will force some high-level problems and create opportunities.
I predict that in the first quarter of 2010 — in particular in January and February — there will be a lot of brick-and-mortar stores going out of business, mostly those that used up their war chest to survive an especially difficult first quarter in 2009 and those with consumers slow to return even as the economy recovers.
This period will see a general economic downturn as a result, as well as an awareness by merchants and manufacturers alike that online grew as a platform and will continue to dominate from now on.
It is a new economic fact: businesses must have an online presence or face slow but certain extinction. I think that manufacturers will seriously consider the "direct sales" opportunity, although many will fail to react for fear of alienating their channel.
Bing and Yahoo!'s partnership will shake up search market share. Users of one engine who don't like the other engine will switch to Google rather than sticking with the new hybrid engine. Once again the Search Engine Relationship Chart will see a significant change. But once that shift occurs, it will remain steady for the remainder of the year, barring any slip-ups by Google.
I predict that by mid-March, we'll enter a very long multiple-year economic recovery, with the online sector leading the way. There will be an increase in online marketing activity due to increasing online consumer spending, driving an explosion in local businesses finally entering the online marketing space. Please recall that June is a month that brings vacations, and along with vacation, a flattening of the growth curve. But with the storefronts diminished and well-heeled competitors getting ready for the 2010 holiday season, there will be a very high interest in small business SEO. SEO snooze, SEO lose.
I think that in the latter half of 2010 we will see the search results page massively changed and, of course, we will help with that facelift, offering SEO tools that annotate and enhance the mundane SERP. Rather than being wiped out, real-time search results will be implemented as an expandable and configurable engagement object (assuming the spam can be cleaned up). Social networks will not be a big play for organic rankings, though they will be used as a marketing tool for an effect similar to a press release or for reputation management.
Although organic search won't change much as a result of social media and real-time search, what will change the results will be new SERP presentation for creative videos and the massive number of localized map and 7-pack entries appearing for almost all search results by year end. During this period we will see personalized search and intent-based search force local search results, followed by an exponential increase in mobile search activity. There will be greater energy and spending in organic SEO and PPC, and both will see a shift toward localized and behaviorally driven results. Small businesses will be small-budget PPC players, and localized results will allow the small business Web site to become the dominant SEO project before year end.
We already see, and will continue to see SEO as a mandatory defensive move, part of every business strategy and absolutely a discussion at the Board of Directors level.
Mobile search integrated into all phones really gets big before year end — I can see the December 2010 TV commercials now. I'm not ready for a phone that has a ring tone going "bing... bing...."
Search Industry Evolution
That is how I see the industry (other than search engine technology) shifting. As early as December 2008, I predicted the death of ranking as a significant measure of SEO success. Analytics would be critical in the year ahead.
As I wrote in last year's Preview 2009 article:
I predict that user behavior and related community tracking will be expanded (collectively "personalization") and increasingly applied Web-wide to all search results, paid and organic, regardless of whether the user is signed in to Google or not. By looking at the user's recent searches, visited sites, bookmarks, communities (common behavior groupings) and other online choices, the search engines adapt the results to what will be most relevant to that individual. So if a user searching for "java" had earlier searched for programming-related terms, or visited a programmer's forum, the results would be personalized to show sites related to Java the programming language, rather than coffee or travel. As for community, search engines observe patterns of search behavior across like groups of people, and then predict what results a similar searcher would be interested in. The similarity could be as small as all users that search for a single keyword, or it could combine multiple factors. Google understands what communities, loosely speaking, a searcher is part of. They're getting better at predicting what else the person is interested in.
I was right. Because of personalization, 2010 is the year Web analytics becomes a necessary part of SEO for everyone.
As I did last year, I predict that pay per click bids will go up sharply as small businesses enter the geo-targeted advertising space. PPC ads will also be influenced by behavioral search, causing them to appear to a better-targeted audience. Because of the higher ROI and increased targeted competition, it will also become more difficult or expensive to buy keywords that don't naturally fit with a particular behavioral demographic. PPC advertisers will experience higher conversion rates, since searchers clicking their ads will be more likely to want what the site offers, and Google will benefit by increased profit.
A massive growth in competent SEO training courses will be necessary to educate the marketing world on how Internet marketing works, making 2010 the year of education. We are already the SEO training partner for SES, SMX, and now ad:Tech, and offering open-seating courses each month as well as client-location custom courses. It will double in 2010.
We believe strongly enough in these predictions that we are already developing tools and research programs on these areas, and encourage you to stay tuned to our newsletter throughout the year so you will be ready when change occurs.

Guatemala to protect judges in Rios Montt's case
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — A Guatemalan judge says that she and two other justices who convicted former dictator Efrain Rios Montt of genocide and sentenced him to 80 years in prison will receive protection.
Judge Yassmin Barrios Aguilar declines to provide details, but earlier the Inter-American Human Rights Commission called on Guatemala's government to protect her along with judges Pablo Xitumul de Paz and Patricia Bustamante Garcia.
The commission says Guatemala's Center for Justice and International Law requested the protection. The non-governmental group says in a statement Wednesday that the judges have been put through an intense campaign to discredit and stigmatize them and have been threatened publicly by Rios Montt's lawyers.
In May, Guatemala's top court overturned the conviction of Rios Montt and ordered his trial restarted. Rios Montt remains under house arrest.

How to make a Hen Night Party a Hit
If you've been put in charge of organising
a hen party, here's some useful do's and don'ts from a recently wed hen.
Do be a great host. Your best friend will be grateful to you for helping to make sure everyone is at ease and enjoying themselves. Make sure you learn everyone's names and find out how they know the hen, so you can do introductions. Making beautiful name badges for attendees to wear or putting personalised place cards at the first shared meal will ensure everyone knows who is who.
Do get down to basics. Be sure you are clear on exactly what your soon-to-be hen wants at her hen party; there's no point in going to lots of trouble to organise a variety of fun activities and a wild party, if all she wants is an intimate evening meal with close friends.
Do delegate, delegate, delegate. Organising such an important event takes time and a lot of effort, so if you are the sort of person who lacks patience and skills to deal with the logistical side of things, why not ask several friends to do certain tasks, or hire the services of an events management team.
Do be easily contactable. Both in the lead up to the big event and on the day make sure all attendees can get in touch with you easily, preferably by mobile phone (don't forget to charge it!). It's also useful to have a full list of everyone's phone numbers to hand in case anyone gets lost or is delayed.
Don't leave everything to the last minute. As soon as your best friend asks you to organise her hen party, send out a save the date' to all attendees and start making to do' lists, so that you can stay on top of planning.
Don't do the dirty on your friend. Only book a stripper if you are 100 per cent sure this is what the hen wants. There is nothing worse than seeing the hen cringe with embarrassment and it can ruin an otherwise great occasion.
Don't forget to reconfirm with all suppliers and venues at least 48 hours in advance. Large groups are often turned away from restaurants, bars and clubs so you can avoid this by reconfirming your reservation/s. Getting the hen party on the guest list can also help avoid long queues and headaches. Alternatively you could get an event management company to organise the whole event, which not only saves time, but also guarantees a certain level of service/quality from their suppliers.
Don't go over budget. As it is customary for the hen to not pay for her party, it's a good idea to set up a kitty before the weekend commences and ask everyone to contribute a set amount. If you've worked out your sums correctly and asked for the correct amount, you'll avoid the hassle of collecting money off people on the day and won't end up out of pocket.

Daniel Dennett What Should Replace Religions
Food for thought: this isn't the most riveting presentation but it provides a kickoff point for a topic we all need to consider: where should the unbelievers focus their movement?We've been kicking this around in our tiny local group. We know we must take 'baby steps' due to our size, but we also know we need a direction.
Views: 449
Not harming others is only one part of a good code of conduct. If you think of the code of your own behaviour, you will find that this is only one factor of your code. A society is too complex a thing to be guided by only one principle. We have evolve a new code by universal consensus.
One can build a whole moral code of tit-for-tat and golden rule morality on the central principle of not harming and being entitled to also not be harmed.
Religion as we see it today is completely unacceptable to us but all religions were created by different people in different regions of earth as a means of creating a social order. I have studied the Bhavad Geeta, a very respected religious scripture of hinduism, and it only confirmed my this thinking. We may condemn the religion today, but it was a necessity of the ancient times.
Religion as it was thought then, provided a code of conduct. If a religion is to replaced by some thing now, it must be a code of conduct that guides man to be a good human being, following good morals. Atheism has to be only one part of that code.
"earth as a means of creating a social order" Maybe. . .but it seems to me that people created religion/mythologies to explain the unexplainable [God of the Gaps]. . .they may have evolved into some sort of conduct code. . but I would say that was NOT the primary reason for their origin. . .
We already have this. It is called Humanism.
Hi, I'm new to this. It seems to me that the reason so many will continue (forever as far as I can see) to trail into church on a Sunday morning is that they are too afraid to challenge their belief. Its far easier, and less time consuming to pop into church for an hour a week then to to wrestle with big existential pondering over the purpose of life, and what happens when you die. It appears, on the surface, quite convenient to accept philosophy by-proxy.
Church also has a fantastic USP, eternal life, for many it is worth the surrender of the critical faculties.
Now I know that was not exactly the point, however it seems clear to me that theistic belief does, and will decrease with rising prosperity, female equality and education.
From then on, its plain sailing, there is no replacement needed, as the prime reason for attending church is to confirm and habituate the beliefs of that particular sect, in a public forum. This is necessary for religion due to the nonsensical doctrine preached by ALL of the world's religions.
As an atheist there is no need to publicly declare your beliefs, because they are based on rationality. I have never heard someone say, "oh I don't believe in that, I'm an anti-theist" I wish the corollary were true.
We do not need, nor should we strive for, a replacement to this disgustingly sycophantic piece of public ritualised self-indoctrination.
I feel that this is actually not a religious question, but a question of mythology. (mythologies are just the stories and collections of world-views that define a culture - they don't necessarily have to be fictional)
All cultures and time periods have mythologies. They're a standard against which a culture measures and defines itself. Joseph Campbell believed that when a culture loses its mythology it loses its identity and ultimately collapses.
Religions are cultural mythologies of nations and smaller groups. We need to develop a more universal human mythology; one that unifies on a wider scale.
This might mean the unification of supernatural and rational aspects ie, finding rational explanations for phenomena previously thought of as 'supernatural'.
Mythologies require many criteria to function. For example, they require a land or realm outside of our human reach - I see this in modern cosmology, astronomy, and quantum physics. Science and the universe are more than capable of stimulating awe. Awe of the unknown, the 'other'. As Hitchens says 'the event horizon of a black hole offers more profundity than some tawdry burning bush'.
They also require a personification of the struggle of the culture. This is most commonly called 'the hero'. We need to redefine what this ancient protagonist means to us now.
But of course, you don't just sit down and write a mythology; they develop in their own way - organically, like a language.
Apologies. Wrote this when tipsy.
Society will always require a code of morals and ethics for good conduct of individuasl and people. Science may help to some extent, but it will not be enough. For example, it can not tell us what is ugly or indecent. Ultimately, human conscious, individually and collectively, decides what constitues good morals and ethics. "we also know we need a direction." Yes, when there is no religion, every society will need to establish a code, as I have said, based on collective conscious.
"For example, it can not tell us what is ugly or indecent."
The way you are using these concepts seems rooted in religious thinking.
What do you define as indecent? Is the naked body indecent? Is kissing indecent? Is a gay or lesbian couple holding hands indecent? Is two people having sex indecent?
What do you define as ugly? Is an over-weight person ugly? Is a person with only one arm ugly? Is using a word commonly defined as profanity ugly?
Is watching profanity involving two consenting adults indecent or is it ugly?
The reason that science does not address such things as indecency and ugliness is that they are purely subjective terms without any objective reality. The things which people find indecent varies from culture to culture and time to time. For example, most of the time I don't find any of the things I mentioned ugly or indecent. I can consider some of them inappropriate at certain times, but certainly not ugly or indecent.
Based on past history, we will probably replace it with something just as ridiculous. Humans have always looked for something unrealistic to explain things we can't explain (go figure!). Remember when we used to praise Ra the sun god, oh those were the days.
Human emotions won't allow us to accept reality for just what it is. Can you imagine a whole world full of atheists? ah we can only dream.
As long as we have sheeple, we will have delusion.
What should replace religions? Intelligence. Education. It is about time humans accept reality as we see it here and now.
I don't think morality or code of conduct have much to do with it as there are the laws of the land to take care of that and besides, we are not really such a moral race so why place so much importance on it?

Alabama vs. Texas: BCS National Championship Game Airs TONIGHT
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Mack Brown wore a gray suit. Nick Saban was in navy. The two men shook hands in front of the national championship trophy, looking as much like candidates for governor before election day as football coaches getting ready for the big game.
Then again, they probably could run for governor, given what football means in their respective states. Saban coaches Alabama, where the Crimson Tide makes news 365 days a year. Brown coaches Texas, where football on every level is often larger than life.
The undefeated Crimson Tide and Longhorns will each try to add another championship to their considerable pedigrees Thursday night. It's a meeting of two old-line programs from the South – Roll Tide vs. Hook 'em Horns – where football, on many days, is the biggest thing going.
"Everyone that sees that 'A' and sees the Longhorn knows the programs," Brown said, "and that's what makes this game so special."
The game will pit All-American quarterback Colt McCoy of Texas against the player who beat him for the Heisman Trophy, running back Mark Ingram of Alabama.
In his third year in Tuscaloosa, Saban has led a quick rebuilding program, aiming to bring the first championship to the school since 1992, when Gene Stallings – a protege of the late, great Bear Bryant – roamed the sidelines.
"We have a tremendous amount of respect for the tradition and the passion that our fans have," Saban said.
But, he said, tradition doesn't win ball games. Players like Ingram and 350-pound defensive lineman Terrence Cody do. So, Saban has tried to ignore the hype and has gone about doing what he did six years ago when he led LSU to the BCS title: recruit top prospects, coach them up, try to turn them into good players, students and citizens.
"The rest of it really doesn't affect that," Saban insisted.
Brown grew up in small-town Tennessee and saw Bryant as the larger-than-life figure he was, the same way anyone of a certain age from that part of the country would.
Now, he's at Texas. Once derisively known as "Coach February" – the guy who could recruit all the talent but never cash in come January – Brown has won seven of his last eight bowl games, led the Longhorns (13-0) to one national title and can easily be mentioned in the same breath as their own legendary coach, Darrell Royal.
He tells his players to focus on the "three Fs."
"I wasn't the smartest guy in the world, so one day I said it's full of 'Fs' – it's fast, have fun, be physical," Brown said. "They all laughed. Some of them didn't get it. That bothered me more."
Kidding aside, Brown used Wednesday's news conference to continue a theme he's been building on all month – that the two best teams are meeting at the Rose Bowl and a true national champion will come out of the game.
It was a legitimate debate five weeks ago when the BCS pairings came out and there were five undefeated teams – Alabama, Texas, Cincinnati, TCU and Boise State. Since then, Cincinnati got blown out 51-24 by Florida in the Sugar Bowl and TCU lost 17-10 to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. It leaves the Broncos as the only team with an argument – one they undoubtedly won't win.
Alabama (13-0) comes into the game as a four-point favorite, in part because the Tide was so much more impressive than Texas in its last game.
Led by Ingram on offense and a stifling defense anchored by Cody and linebacker Rolando McClain, the Tide shut down Tim Tebow in a 32-13 crushing of Florida in the Southeastern Conference title game.
Texas, meanwhile, beat Nebraska 13-12 in the Big 12 championship game, after officials put a second back on the clock following a pass McCoy threw out of bounds. It allowed Hunter Lawrence to kick the winning field goal, even though McCoy's sloppy game management at the end nearly cost Texas a chance to win it all.
Even though both teams won, those games essentially sealed the Heisman race. McCoy threw for 184 yards, three interceptions and got sacked nine times. Ingram ran for 113 yards and three touchdowns to become Alabama's first Heisman winner.
Which sets up a very similar scenario as the last time Texas played at the Rose Bowl.
Back then, it was the Longhorns against Southern California in the weeks after Texas quarterback Vince Young lost the Heisman to USC's Reggie Bush.
"They weren't showing us no kind of respect at all, so we just kind of used that all as motivation until game-time came," said Young, who is expected on the sideline Thursday night.
Young had one of the best performances in college football history in a 41-38 win over USC – passing for 267 yards, running for 200 more and transforming himself into something more than just another great player to Texas fans, who have seen their share.
That's the kind of thing that can happen to a player who leads his team a national title in Texas or Alabama, two states where football and life always intersect.
"You're under the microscope," said Longhorns left tackle Adam Ulatoski, who played at high school powerhouse Southlake Carroll near Fort Worth. "But it's a little different when it's a town watching you and the state of Texas watching you. It's a little bit of pressure, but it's a whole lot of fun."
In Alabama, too.
"They tend to maybe idolize people who play football here, even though we're just regular people," said Alabama kicker Leigh Tiffin, a native of Muscle Shoals whose dad, Van, kicked for the Tide in the '80s. "Something like this is probably the most exciting thing that happens in Alabama the entire year."

Watch Selena Gomez Perform 'Come & Get It' at the 2013 Radio Disney Music Awards
Mouse House alum Selena Gomez delivered yet another bindi-bedazzled performance of 'Come & Get It' at the 2013 Radio Disney Music Awards.
Gomez's performances of the track have been relatively consistent. There is always a bindi, there is always semi-complicated choreography (most of which is the same as prior perfs) and there is always somewhat of a struggle to hold longer or higher notes. The only distinctions between each show for the song are the outfits, which are always impressive -- this time, she rocked an intricate multi-tonal blue number with a sparkly skirt. That's another consistency for Gomez: She always, if nothing else, looks absolutely stunning.

That... Rene ran off to the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas and left me here to anchor the show all by myself! Luckily (for him!), he sent back lots of footage from the CES 2011 show floor, including some of the coolest iPhone and iPad accessories we'll be seeing this year. That's the topic for this special episode of our video show!
We're talking cases, chargers, stands, robots, apps, and even a sneak peek at just what might be a model of the next generation iPad 2!
Want to see it for yourself? I know I do! Watch along up top and then tell me which ones you're most looking forward to in 2011!

Performing: Dorota Kolak, Agata Kulesza, Marcin Dorociński
The 40-year-old Prosecutor Dorota drinks in order not to be crazy, as she says herself. By hiding her immunity, she hides all offences committed 'under her influence'. Her husband, a well-known politician, helps her effectively. Student Magda likes to party, but she learns great and has a great job, so nobody reproaches her for it. For a respected surgeon, Teresa, every pretext is good to drink. She doesn't deny herself alcohol even at work, in a children's hospital of which she is the head of the hospital. Soon, in the life of each of the women, there will be events, after which their problem will intensify. Will the heroines, supported by their families and friends, manage to overcome it in time?

To the average person, running a marathon's full 26.2 miles may seem like an impossible task. However, according to Dr. Douglas Tumen, a running coach and podiatrist at HealthAlliance Hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, all that's needed is good health, the right plan and a little bit of determination.
Tumen, along with Dr. Amy Gutman, the medical director of the Emergency Department at HealthAlliance Hospital's Broadway Campus, shared tips below on training safely for a full or half marathon:
Build A Good Foundation
First, carefully consider how you would start. "You can't just buy a new pair of shoes and train," said Tumen. "You have to 'build a base,' and that takes awhile." He recommended beginning to run three to four times a week, for a minimum of four weeks, before even thinking about training for an event.
Respect Your Body
Proper nutrition, hydration and rest can all play an important part in helping our bodies adapt to running. Cross-training in another sport, such as swimming, is important, too. Gutman advised runners to be cautious of heat-related illnesses, even on the coolest days. "You can get heat stroke on a very mild day," she said. Also, she advised being very careful to remain well hydrated, as dehydration can bring on dangerous heart arrhythmias.
Increase Distance Gradually
Once you're comfortable running three to four miles, increase the distance of your longest weekly run by no more than 10 percent per week, allowing yourself at least 12 to 16 weeks to train for a half-marathon. When Tumen taught marathon-training classes, he also recommended a training partner, to help runners commit to a schedule. Keeping a mileage log is critical.

multi-colored striped version of their Daddy blouse. What truly impresses me is how it reads much more expensive than it is. And at $268 for a top, that's not an easy feat. Did someone say Prada? Not me.

Isabel Marant Fall 2011 Navajo Nails
My latest nail project was inspired by Isabel Marant's monochromatic Navajo-inspired Fall 2011 collection. I tried to go for something easy and subtle, which along with chic is how I would describe Marant's style. For this I chose Essie's Chinchilly, Sally Hansen's silver nail art pen and a light grey from Brucci. I used the two greys for the base and the nail art pen to draw on different Navajo-inspired shapes (mostly triangles and more triangles). Nail art pens are definitely a really easy way to do nail art, but not ideal for detailed executions.

Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2011
Cushnie et Ochs' Fall 2011 lookbook. The play between light and dark within the natural setting is so grabbing. It reminds me of seeing a beautiful landscape ravaged by wildfire. With silver lame. The best part is how the lookbook really shows off the clothes without letting the art direction take it too editorial. I wasn't surprised at all to see that the shoot was styled by Keegan Singh. He is really among the best of the best fashion stylists and his work never ceases to impress me. I am more excited than ever to see what these young talents have in store for their career.

MELBOURNE, Fla. – Down the wire it went with a chance to tie and set up overtime again. But this time, lady luck wasn't on the Buccaneers' side.
Barry lost 83-81 at Florida Tech Saturday in an up-and-down game with a frenzied pace.
Florida Tech (8-10, 2-7 Sunshine State Conference) took a 75-74 lead with 3:35 left on the clock when Jermaine Jackson scored on a three-point play. Barry senior forward Filip Toric sank two free throws after Florida Tech coach Billy Mims received his second technical foul in less than a minute to give the Bucs a 77-75 lead with 2:25 to go.
Jackson hit a three-pointer to put the Panthers up, 78-77, before Bucs senior guard Chad Renfro scored on a cutting lay-in off a feed from sophomore forward Magne Fivelstad to push the Bucs (9-9, 3-6) back ahead by one. Florida Tech's Chris Carter scored to give the Panthers an 80-79 lead with 35 seconds left.
Terrance Tubbs sank two free throws before Fivelstad hit a baseline jumper to pull the Buccaneers within 82-81. Jackson split a pair from the free throw line with eight seconds remaining. But Barry couldn't convert on its last possession, and the host Panthers escaped in a nerve-tested game.
Buccaneers senior guard Justin McCoy scored 21 points to extend his double figures streak to 17 straight games. He added four assists. Toric had 15 points, 10 boards, four assists, two steals and a block. Jackson scored 28 points, and Carter added 24 points, nine steals and four assists.
Barry shot 50.8 percent from the field, going 30-for-59. Florida Tech was 32-for-66 for 48.5 percent. The Bucs were an uncharacteristic 13-for-21 from the free throw line. The Panthers were 12-for-18. Barry turned it over 22 times, in large part due to Florida Tech's pressure defense, which came away with 16 steals. Tech had 14 turnovers.
Sophomore forward Damien Dwaine scored on a tip-in in the paint to give Barry a 50-44 lead less than two minutes into the second half. Dwaine then fooled everyone on a beautiful fake when he prepared to hand the ball off to McCoy, while initiating a baseline feed. But when both Tech defenders followed McCoy around the wing, Dwaine turned baseline and drove in for an uncontested lay-in to give Barry an eight-point lead.
Florida Tech erased that, taking a 64-58 lead on a Tubbs three-pointer with 11:30 to go. McCoy buried a three from the corner as Barry capped a 9-3 run to tie the game, 67-67, with eight minutes left.
Dwaine finished with 14 points and two steals. Renfro had 10 points, five rebounds and three assists. Martin scored eight points and had six rebounds, three on the offensive end. Fivelstad went 5 of 9 from the floor, finishing with 10 points, seven boards, four assists and a block.
Barry trailed by as many as nine midway through the first half, but closed the half with a 17-7 surge over the final 4:45, taking a two-point lead into the break.
McCoy was 8 of 12 from the field. Toric went 4 of 5 from the floor, including 2 of 3 from beyond the arc. Dwaine was 6 of 8 from the floor.
TIP-IN: Florida Tech presented Barry acting head coach Orlando Gonzalez with a check for $727 for the Cesar Odio Leukemia Foundation. Odio, the Bucs head coach for the past 18 years, is battling leukemia for the second time.

Stop! Don't throw away that cork. It could win you $100 worth of wine.
The Wine Tunnel is hosting a cork sculpture contest (although screw caps and synthetic corks are also allowed). Enter your masterpiece at the shop at 148 Tunnel Road by 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 29, to win. The grand prize is a $100 gift certificate.
Entries are not limited to sculpture in the traditional sense. Cork crafts, such as bulletin boards are OK, too.
Manager Vivie Bernard says creativity is the goal. "It doesn't have to be a specific type of sculpture," she says. "We're trying to keep it open."
In the past, she's made planters and boats from corks, and she envisions all sorts of other creative uses. "Once you start looking online, you go down the rabbit hole," she says. "You can make the cork into different mediums."
Other materials are allowed, but visually, the finished piece should look like cork.
The judging takes place on Friday, Aug. 30, at the Wine Tunnel from 6 to 9 p.m. Live music, Santosha Chocolate (formerly Raw Shakti) samples and wine tastings are part of the event.
For more information, call the Wine Tunnel at 254-0504.

Meanwhile my previous documentary "DON'T CRY FOR YOUR HAIR" deserved a special honorary mention at Ionian International Digital Film Festival. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be at the awards ceremony in person, but I greatly appreciate the attention and recognition it enjoyed. I was so impressed by the gratitude of the Greek people when we had been shooting there. One more time — here's the link where you can watch Don't Cry For Your Hair

BUIES CREEK, N.C. (April 9, 2007) - The ETSU women's golf team did not enjoy a strong start during first round play at the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship Monday, finishing 24 strokes over par and 16 strokes back of host and defending champion Campbell at Keith Hills Country Club.
With a team score of 312, the Lady Bucs have two rounds to make up the advantage currently enjoyed by the Fighting Camels. For ETSU, the top individual performances of the day came from freshman Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) and sophomore Lucy Gould (Bargoed, Wales), who both posted 5-over-par 77s to finish the day tied for 12th on the individual leaderboard.
"We need to play better, but this is just the first day," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Reynolds. "We're very capable of coming out and shooting better scores. This was not the ideal way to finish the first round, but we have competitors on this team and they will come out tomorrow wanting to perform."
While the Lady Bucs have a deficit to overcome in the team competition, Jansone and Gould are just four strokes back of Mercer's Monica Kelsey's and Campbells's Alejandra Shaw, who lead the event at 1-over 73. Other ETSU results of note included a tie for 16th by junior Natalia Giraldo (
Second round play in the A-Sun Championships will resume on Tuesday, with third and final round action set for Wednesday. Fans can watch live stats from the event by visiting

StephenDP necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 166 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
We are in the process of rebranding and relaunching greenbuildingsNYC, a blog that covers all things green in New York City real estate, and are looking for a new logo that both captures the modern aesthetic of the green building movement and considers the professional nature of our audience.
greenbuildingsNYC reports on issues related to green real estate in the New York City area. Articles typically profile projects both large and small, including modern green homes, leases in green commercial office buildings, affordable housing developments, and other green-related construction projects. Our primary emphasis is on architecture and our audience is mostly design professionals. We are looking to rebrand the site as "gbNYC," a shorthand title we refer to frequently in bodies of articles. We would like the new logo to be clean, simple, elegant, and reflect modern green design. Our new tag line for the site is "green real estate in gotham," and we'd like this language incorporated into the body of the logo. We like Dwell's logo (http://www.dwell.com) as a good example of what we're after.
- The body of the logo should contain "gbNYC" in large lettering with "green real estate in gotham" (in lower case letters) either below, above, or otherwise incorporated into the logo.
- The logo will be replacing the "gbNYC" logo currently on the latest draft of our mock up site: http://gbnyc.typicaltuesday.com/
- The logo will be going on a white background, replacing what you will see as the logo on the link below.
- The color scheme should blend in with the mock up for our new site.
- All fonts on our new site are Trebuchet MS; we would like our logo to blend in with this font but not just be pure Trebuchet MS text.
- We are interested in seeing how two different colors would work, one for the "gb" and the other for the "NYC."
- We are curious to see whether turning the upper reaches of either the "N," "Y," into the tips of buildings/skyscrapers would be consistent with a clean, simple look for the logo.
- We'd like the logo to have some 3-D depth to it (i.e. Curbed's logo at http://www.curbed.com). but still be adaptable for business card purposes, etc.
- Straight Trebuchet MS text in logo.

Dan Schutte, who wrote the liturgical song "You Are Near" while a member of the St. Louis Jesuits, talks about how he came to write the song in a posting on the blog The Deacon's Bench.
The song is getting lots of attention because the first word in its chorus is "Yahweh," and the Vatican has declared the word can no longer be used in Catholic worship. And that suits Schutte just fine, according to his posting.
