From The Associated Press, May 1, 2013:
Scientists revealed Wednesday that they have found the first solid archaeological evidence that some of the earliest American colonists at Jamestown, Va., survived harsh conditions by turning to cannibalism.
For years, there have been tales of people in the first permanent English settlement in America eating dogs, cats, rats, mice, snakes and shoe leather to stave off starvation. There were also written accounts of settlers eating their own dead, but archaeologists had been skeptical of those stories.
But now, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and archaeologists from Jamestown are announcing the discovery of the bones of a 14-year-old girl that show clear signs that she was cannibalized. Evidence indicates clumsy chops to the body and head of the girl, who appears to have already been dead at the time.
Smithsonian forensic anthropologist Douglas Owsley said the human remains date back to a deadly winter known as the "starving time" in Jamestown from 1609 to 1610. Hundreds died during the period. Scientists have said the settlers likely arrived during the worst drought in 800 years, bringing severe food shortages for the 6,000 people who lived at Jamestown between 1607 and 1625.
The historical record is chilling. Early Jamestown colony leader George Percy wrote of a "world of miseries," that included digging up corpses from their graves to eat when there was nothing else. "Nothing was spared to maintain life," he wrote.
In one case, a man killed, "salted," and began eating his pregnant wife. Both Percy and Capt. John Smith, the colony's most famous leader, documented the account in their writings. The man was later executed.
"One amongst the rest did kill his wife, powdered her, and had eaten part of her before it was known, for which he was executed, as he well deserved," Smith wrote. "Now whether she was better roasted, boiled or carbonado'd (barbecued), I know not, but of such a dish as powdered wife I never heard of."
Archaeologists at Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia were somewhat skeptical of the stories of cannibalism in the past because there was no solid proof, until now.
"Historians have questioned, well did it happen or not happen?" Owsley said. "And this is very convincing evidence that it did."
Owsley has been working with William Kelso, the chief archaeologist at Jamestown, since their first burial discovery in 1996.
The remains of the 14-year-old girl, discovered in the summer of 2012, mark the fourth set of human remains uncovered at Jamestown outside of graves. Researchers named her "Jane" to give her an identity for a book explaining her story. Her remains were found in a cellar at the site that had been filled with trash, including bones of horses and other animals consumed in desperation, according to archaeologists.
The discovery detracts from the happier mythology of John Smith and Pocahontas that many associate with Jamestown. The vice president of research at nearby Colonial Williamsburg, which oversees excavations of the original Jamestown site, said visitors will have a fuller view of a terrible time in early American history.
"I think we are better served by understanding history warts and all because I think it gives us a better understanding of who we are as a people," James Horn said. "It gives us a better sense of the sacrifices that people made, ordinary people like Jane, to survive in the new world."
Owsley, who has also done forensic analysis for police investigations, analyzed the girl's remains and how the body had been dismembered, including chops to the front and back of the head. The girl was likely already dead at the time. There was a cultural stigma against killing someone for food.
But it was clear to Owsley immediately that there were signs of cannibalism.
"It is the evidence found on those bones that put it within the context of this time period," he said. "This does represent a clear case of dismemberment of the body and removing of tissues for consumption."
It was the work of someone not skilled at butchering, Owsley said. There was a sense of desperation.
The bones show a bizarre attempt to open the skull. Animal brains and facial tissue would be considered accepted and desirable meat in the 17th century, Owsley said.
The human remains will be placed on display at Jamestown to explain the horrid conditions early settlers faced. At the Smithsonian, curators will display a digital reconstruction of the girl's face in an exhibit about life at Jamestown.
Owsley said archaeology is helping to fill in details from a time when few records were kept – details that won't likely be found in history books.
Kelso, whose archaeology team discovered the bones, said the girl's bones will be displayed to help tell a story, not to be a spectacle.
"We found her in a trash dump, unceremoniously trashed and cannibalized, and now her story can be told," Kelso said. "People will be able to empathize with the time and history and think to themselves, as I do: What would I do to stay alive?"
The Smithsonian and Jamestown archaeologists are publishing their findings in a new book but decided against waiting to announce the discovery through a peer-reviewed journal.
"In a lot of ways, I say Jane is us," Kelso said. "She brings the past to the present."

Justin Bieber Has a Leopard-Print Car [Pic]
Someone keep the keys away from Lil Twist!
The web is abuzz with news that Justin Bieber has added a leopard-print car to an already high-profile fleet of vehicles in his name. That's a lot of wheels for a teen. Let's hope he doesn't peel around his Calabasas neighborhood, causing a confrontation with a neighbor that leads to a saliva spew.
The Biebs has a SwagCar -- a tricked out SmartCar -- and he has a chromed, environmentally friendly and seriously pricey Fisker Karma, as well as a Ferrari. The latter two sets o' wheels are vehicles that his pal Lil Twist has shown little respect for, leaving us questioning the Biebs' decisions to lend him the cars.
He also has a Batman motorcycle that his father and siblings customized for his bday this year.
We expected The Biebs to have a purple car, since that's his fave color. But this leopard-print car (an aerial shot of which landed on Twitter) is certainly the type of ride that will attract the paparazzi that he is always trying to avoid.
The car, if indeed the property of the Biebs, is sorta ugly and incredibly flashy. You know, maybe he should let Twist drive this car and keep the nicer ones for himself.

. . .a recession may well be looming. GDP growth for the second quarter of this year has been revised down to 1.25 percent. That's the slowest pace since the third quarter of 2011.
According to Reuters, output was revised down to reflect weaker rates of consumer and business spending than previously estimated. Outlays on residential construction export growth were also not as robust as had been previously estimated.
Nor do things appear to be picking up in the third quarter. Says Reuters:
Data in hand for the third-quarter suggest little improvement in the growth pace, even as the housing market digs out of a six-year slump. Manufacturing, the pillar of the recovery from the 2007-09 recession is cooling, hurt by fears of tighter U.S. fiscal policy in January and slower global demand.
In fact, as Ed Morrissey points out, orders for durable goods dropped by 13.2 percent in August. And nondefense new orders for capital goods in August decreased 24.3 percent.
James Pethokoukis puts the recent poor GDP numbers into perspective.
I've frequently written about research from the Fed which finds that since 1947, when two-quarter annualized real GDP growth falls below 2%, recession follows within a year 48% of the time. And when year-over-year real GDP growth falls below 2%, recession follows within a year 70% of the time. . . .
Growth the past two quarters has averaged about 1.6%. Not only does this mean the economy is growing more slowly than last year's 1.8%, it is also slow enough to signal about a 50% chance of a recession within a year. And the third quarter also looks weak.
The anemic, three-year-old U.S. recovery is already running out of steam. And if it does, it may be several more years before we see unemployment below 8%.
What are the implications for the election? Obama's economic narrative amounts basically to this: sure, it's been more difficult than I thought to turn the economy around, but we're finally seeing real progress. This line seems to be working well enough to keep Obama slightly above water. But if, as appears to be the case, things took a turn for the worse this summer, and if the impact of the leading indicators begins to make itself felt this fall, then Obama's narrative may ring hollow as election day approaches.

By CHARLES DARWIN, M.A., F.R.S., &c.
"But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this—we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulated interpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular case, but by the establishment of general laws."
Whewell: Bridgewater Treatise.
"The only distinct meaning of the word 'natural' is stated, fixed or settled; since what is natural as much requires and presupposes an intelligent agent to render it so, i.e., to effect it continually or at stated times, as what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for once."
Butler: Analogy of Revealed Religion.
"To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far or be too well studied in the book of God's word, or in the book of God's works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavour an endless progress or proficience in both."

As the Hispanic community in Baltimore boomed in the last decade, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center responded by adding health programs to meet the population's unique needs.
Now the East Baltimore center is bringing all its past efforts — and some new ones — together under one umbrella with the creation of the Center of Excellence for Latino Health.
The center, which is in the strategic planning stage, seeks to provide more comprehensive care to Latino patients.
Medical staff will provide traditional services such as pediatric, psychiatric and obstetrics and gynecological care. The hope is that a research and advocacy component of the center will help staff better understand the needs of the Latino population and how to treat them.
"We'll be learning from the community and working with the community," said Dr. Tina Cheng, director of the Latino health center and director of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Bayview.
Cheng said the center was needed as the Latino community continues to grow at a rapid clip. Between 2000 and 2010, when Baltimore's overall population declined by more than 4 percent, the city's Latino community grew by nearly 135 percent, according to the Baltimore City Hispanic Commission. Latinos now make up 4.4 percent of all residents, according to census estimates. In Maryland, 8.7 percent of the state's total population is Latino.
Hispanic enclaves can be found mostly in Southeast Baltimore — in Fells Point, Highlandtown, Patterson Park, Canton and the neighborhoods around Hopkins Bayview. The Hispanic residents hail from Mexico, Ecuador, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and other parts of Central and South America.
Latinos in Baltimore tend to be recent arrivals without deep roots in the community. As they become more established, they are venturing into other areas.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has said the Latino community is key to an initiative to gain 10,000 new families in the city in the next decade.
Catalina Rodriguez, head of the Baltimore City Hispanic Commission, said initiatives like the one at Hopkins Bayview are needed as the demographics of certain neighborhoods change.
"I think they are being extremely proactive in recognizing the growth of Latino groups and preparing themselves to serve this population who come with a set of needs, but also come with a set of assets that benefit the city," Rodriguez said about Bayview.
A report on the state of Latino health published in 2011 by the Baltimore City Health Department found that the population had a high rate of homicide and accidental injuries. But its members died less frequently from heart disease and cancer, leading causes of death among other ethnic groups. They also had lower rates of infant mortality.
Newly immigrated Latinos often avoid going to the doctor until there is an emergency because they lack insurance, are worried about their legal status, don't speak proficient English or find the cost to see a doctor is too high, the Health Department report found.
Children in Latino communities often deal with obesity and cavities, which become so bad that they cause children to miss school.
Some preventable diseases, such as diabetes, are rising in Latino communities because of the lack of regular medical attention.
The Latino center will work to address such health disparities, as well as cultural differences. Doctors may not understand all the cultural differences, but will be trained to ask and look for them, said Dr. Sarah Polk, a Hopkins assistant professor of pediatrics and adolescent medicine who will work with Cheng at the center.
For instance, people in some Latino cultures think it is OK to be a little overweight and may balk at a doctor's advising them to slim down, Polk said.
"We speak about this with all populations," Polk said. "Culture is very relevant to how we lead our lives. When you give advice to a family and you expect them to carry it out at home, it needs to be culturally relevant."
The center will have bilingual staff members and use interpreters to help break down language barriers that could otherwise hinder patient care.
The center will build on programs already at Bayview, including a parenting class based at the children's medical practice and the advocacy group Hopkins Organization for Latino Awareness, or HOLA, which has worked to improve the quality of health care for Latinos.
The Latino center at Hopkins Bayview was funded by a gift from the Aaron and Lillie Straus Foundation, which provides funding for projects in disadvantaged areas. Money was matched by Hopkins Bayview, the Johns Hopkins Health System and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Financial details were not disclosed.
"We are trying to understand the health needs of Latinos in the community and how we can better meet those needs," Cheng said.

The Journal of Leadership Educators (JOLE) serves as a forum to share teaching and learning advancements, innovative research, and applications. JOLE is now accepting manuscripts including research and theory features, idea briefs, and application briefs for a 2017 special topic issue entitled, Leadership Education Amid Conflicting Ideologies – Turning BIG!,(Bad?) Ideas Into Creative and Innovative Solutions.
The clashing ideologies and problems of the twenty first century require unprecedented levels of creativity and innovation to solve given the complexities of contemporary societies. Innovation, "the capacity to generate ideas…that are novel and useful" (Chan, Fu, Schumm, Cagan, Wood, Kotovsky, 2011, p.1) is the basis for this special issue. The hope is that by challenging some of the previously held assumptions, leadership as a discipline and leadership education will be advanced.
Manuscripts are being sought that will address issues of interest and relevance to the journal's readership of leadership practitioners, professionals, and scholars. We are particularly interested in works that will:
- · spur dialogs
- · highlight underrepresented contexts
- · present provocative material
- · entertain discussions around "new" best practices and problem-solving
- · showcase the successful integration of creativity into decision-making processes
- · examine experiential learning
- · discuss social (in)justice, racism, discrimination, prejudice, stigma, inequality, risk-taking, or vulnerability
- · address areas of inquiry that challenge the status quo
- · tackle content that pushes against convention
Johansson (2004) contends that we can learn from one another by effectively breaking down barriers and through what may very well be discomforting ideas, begin looking at the world through different prisms. It is imperative that leadership educators work collaboratively and creatively to strategize and foster new ideas to support creative and innovative solutions to problems.
EXTENDED May 13, 2017: Manuscripts are due. It is imperative that authors make a note in the comment section of FastTrack that their submission is for the special issue!
July 16, 2017: Author notification.
October 1, 2017: Publication.

A month before his death in April 1616 William Shakespeare sent for his attorney and dictated the terms of his will. He must have suspected or feared that he was nearing his end, although the fever that killed him didn't take a real grip until the last week and, indeed, the night before his death he was still eating and drinking with friends.
The will itself was not written in Shakespeare's hand but may have been drafted by his lawyer Francis Collins, or possibly by Collin's clerk. The three page will contains three of the six surviving examples of his signature, which authenticated the will.
Shakespeare's will was very much a conventional will, expressed in the language of lawyers, properly witnessed and registered, and taken to London to the Prerogative Court of Canterbury to be legally validated on 22 June 1616. The will accounted for everything Shakespeare had owned.
There is one item that commentators have reflected on through the years: the only place his wife is specifically mentioned is in the item in which he leaves her his second best bed. Some commentators have seen that as a lack of affection or a kind of contempt but if you think about it, it must have been his most intimate possession. It was customary for wealthy people to keep a guestroom with the best bed in the house in it. The second best bed was where he and his wife would have slept together, made love, given birth to their children, and where Shakespeare would have died. Leaving it to her ensured that whatever else happened it belonged to her now and no-one could take it away from her. He knew that she would be looked after, and indeed, in terms of the English Common Law of the time she was entitled to one third of his estate and the use of the matrimonial home for life. There was no point in mentioning it in the will. She continued to live in the house until her death in 1623.
Apart from his wife, Anne , his main heirs were his daughter, Susanna, and her husband Dr John Hall . After everything that was mentioned in the will all the rest of his 'goods, chattels, leases, plate, jewels and household stuff' went to them – after his debts and funeral expenses had been discharged.
His second daughter, Judith , who was unmarried, received £100 for her marriage portion and another £50 if she renounced any claim to the Chapel Lane cottage, which Shakespeare had previously purchased, near New Place . She was to receive a further £150 on which her future husband would have no claim unless he settled lands on her to the value of £150. If she had failed to live another three years the £150 would have gone to his granddaughter, Elizabeth Hall . He also left Judith a silver bowl, probably a bowl that she was already using as her own or that she had particularly liked.
Shakespeare left £30 to his sister, Joan Hart . She was also allowed to continue living in one of the two houses on Henley Street for a nominal rent. That was one of the houses Shakespeare had inherited from his father in 1601. Each of Joan's three sons received £5.
He left all his silver plate to his granddaughter, Elizabeth , except the silver bowl left to Judith.
Shakespeare remembered his friends in his will. He left his sword and other small items to local friends. His lifelong friend and neighbour, Hamnet Sadler , received the money to buy a memorial ring. He left 26 shillings and 8d to each of three business partners and fellow actors, John Hemynges , Richard Burbage and Henry Cundell , so that they could buy rings.
Finally, Shakespeare left £10 to the poor of Stratford .
So how wealthy was William Shakespeare?
It is almost impossible to work out what the equivalent of each of these sums of money would be worth today, but if we were to look at how much Londoners were paid at the time of Shakespeare's death we could get a rough idea. Skilled workers in the City, and actors in the top London theatres, for example, earned about £13 a year, whereas these days this type of work earns around £50,000.
By that reckoning, Shakespeare's three nephews would have inherited about £12,500 each – not a bad little inheritance from an uncle. Judith's £300 was the equivalent of about £750,000. With all his money and properties you can see how wealthy Shakespeare had become by the time of his death. When you think that an average theatre ticket cost about 2.5pence (£0.025) it's almost unbelievable that it added up to so much wealth, considering that Shakespeare was only one of several partners in all his theatrical activities. Could Shakespeare have been bigger than Andrew Lloyd Webber?

Browneyedgirl1522 says:
Only a man could look at this and think Mrs Shakespeare wasn't completely humiliated at the reading of this will. One line. One item. With her name not even mentioned. If she were to receive one third through Common Law, then he would not have specifically mentioned his daughter as receiving everything else. A complete burn to poor Mrs Shakespeare!
Walter sandtner says:
the testament of Shakespeare is the best prove that the Stratford-upon-Avon-Shakespeare (SuAS)is not the author of Shakespeare`s plays.The testament speaks in detailed manner of all kind of things, but no word of a library, of books and before all of the plays. If the SuAS would have been the author, there would at least some indication on who should own the manuscripts.
Kind regards
Walter Sandtner
John Patrick Keating says:
As we are approaching the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, perhaps a slander against his name might be at long last corrected. In so many articles, talks, books, documentaries, etc., mention is made of the bequest of his second best bed to his wife, thus stinting her. The implication denigrates Shakespeare's character
and suggests an unhappy marriage.
Shakespeare had to leave his wife his second best bed: he kept his best bed, the grave, for himself. The testator of the will remained a poet even unto death.
John Patrick Keating
j lague says:
"Could Shakespeare have been bigger than Andrew Lloyd Webber?"
Could Shakespeare's wealth have been amassed by blackmailing a person of high standing?
Could his mysterious death have been due to poisoning? Could the fact that Ben Jonson…who wrote the eulogy included in the first folio and who was named in an anecdote as one of those who was drinking with Shakespeare just prior to his death…was awarded a sizeable pension in the year of Shakespeare's death be anything other than a coincidence?
Could this piece of speculation on my part be any more far-fetched than a good many theories about the elusive man from Stratford that have been generally accepted as sound?

Champagne Shrimp with Rosemary
When ringing in the new millennium, don't limit the champagne to toasting the New Year. Save a little for this recipe for Champagne Shrimp with Rosemary. Serve this delicious shrimp entree as the main dish at a sit-down New Year's Eve dinner, or as a way to use your leftover champagne after the turn-of-the millennium.
Serve your Champagne Shrimp over pasta, rice or grilled French bread slices. Heat up your range-top grill while you saute the mushrooms, then butter bread slices and grill for a few minutes per side. If you don't have an indoor grill, simply toast the buttered bread under the broiler.
Meanwhile, melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and remaining seasonings, green onions, garlic and chopped parsley. Saute until shrimp turn pink. Add shrimp to mushroom sauce, garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve over hot cooked pasta, rice or grilled French bread.
Makes 6 servings.

Story of Bill Brown Saloon (mp3)
Currently home to the Matador Restaurant, the Bill Brown Saloon was built in 1913 by Bill Brown, Redmond's Mayor from 1919 to 1948. The building has had a wide variety of occupants including a dance hall, Town Council meeting place, barber shop, undertaker, interior designer, hardware store, dance studio, and restaurants.
The Bill Brown Saloon building was constructed in 1913 by William "Bill" Brown. The saloon replaced a wooden structure built around 1910. Made of red brick, it was one of the town's most handsome buildings and once the tallest building in Redmond. When first built, the first floor held a saloon, barbershop, ice cream parlor, a drug store, and an undertaker. The second floor served as a community gathering place with a dance hall and a brothel.
Bill Brown was also the mayor of Redmond from 1919 to 1948 and a King County Commissioner from 1924 to 1932.
With prohibition, the saloon closed. Since that time, there have been many other occupants. From 1915 to 1927 the second floor served as a makeshift city hall where town council meetings and civil business took place. Other occupants have been an interior designer, hardware store, dance studio, and various restaurants. Today the building is occupied by the Matador restaurant, and still looks as it did in 1913

The forecast looks like Sunday and Monday are going to be windy at Tahoe.... Marlys and I are headed up today and will be there Sunday and Monday...
I'd be really interested in meeting up with anyone to go riding...

Valentine Snow Kiting at Tahoe
The forecast looks like Sunday and Monday are going to be windy at Tahoe.... Marlys and I are headed up today and will be there Sunday and Monday...
I'd be really interested in meeting up with anyone to go riding...
marlys and i are at the base of heavenly now and it is pretty calm. are you headed out soon? any help on where grasslake is or any sensors to check? i can research.... but i am currently using my cellphone...so any help is appreciated
You may want to confirm this, but these should be the directions.
Where To Start: From South Lake Tahoe, to get to Luther Pass (Highway 89), drive west on US 50 from the "Y" and turn left on Highway 89 towards Hope Valley and Kirkwood Ski Resort. Follow 89 up towards Luther Pass until it flattens out at Grass Lake. Park in the large turn-out on the right side of the road and ski down to the lake. During snow removal conditions, it may be illegal to park along this road.
I went with a group of people either to Grass Lake or Hope Valley, not sure. I purchased a snow park permit at the Chevron in Meyers. Not sure if you need one at this location, but it was only like $4 or 5.
Not sure if you can see images on your cell phone, but here is a map I found. #2 is Grass Lake.
Thanks alot.... The map is a big help.... I think we will be there around 10:30-11ish...
Since I have never been there, or snowkited... Are there any hazards I should know about at this site?
I'm not even sure I went to that location, and don't kite yet, so can't really comment on hazards. Actually, it must have been the other area because I think I had to get off 89.
I guess one thing I've read is that you need less kite on snow than you would on water, so keep that in mind.
Other than that, KillaHz/Gabe would be the guy to talk to. If you were so inclined, you could probably figure out a way to get in touch with him on his website, which should also be easy to fnd. I don't know if it's appropriate to call asking for advice without being expected, that's your call
Also, Lake Tahoe Kiteboarding offers lessons in the area. They might be more open to people calling for advice? www.laketahoekiteboarding.com, or www.ltkb.com.
Sorry been running errands all morning. getting something to eat now ans then will likely head up to Grass Lake. Looks like it's cranking up there. Park basically at the middle of the lake. The biggest pullout. Then walk a ways out onto the lake. You will know you are in the right place if you see the big jump we built. That is about where you want to launch. Obstacles?...just fly with a leash and everything will be ok. It's going to be quite gusty today so watch out. I should be there by about noon.
Gabe Brown
sometimes Gary Bronson...
we are just leaving town now.... i brought a 12m foil and a 9 and 13 fuel..... hope its not too windy
welll.. i went kiting today at grasslake... very gusty... but i kited on my 13 and 9 ss fuels.... they fell alot... but so did others with foils....relaunching wasnt as bad as i thought it might be... pretty easy water to snow transition..... looking for another spot with better wind for tomorrow

Madonna's 'M.D.N.A.' Already a Worldwide Hit
They don't call her the Queen of Pop for nothin'! Madonna's latest album, 'M.D.N.A.' and her new single, 'Give Me All Your Luvin" are at the top of the iTunes charts all over the planet.
Madonnarama reports that 'M.D.N.A.' can be preordered in 51 countries — and is already at No. 1 in a whopping 49 of them! Madonna topped the charts in Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K., the U.S. (but of course!) and Venezuela. Phew! She currently rests at No. 2 in Japan and No. 3 in Australia.
This is an especially impressive feat when you realize that the album isn't even out until March 26. These fans really couldn't wait. You go, Madge!
Chances are preorders for 'M.D.N.A.' will only skyrocket even further following her Super Bowl halftime show tomorrow (Feb. 5). The highly anticipated performance features Cee Lo Green and LMFAO as well as 'Give Me All Your Luvin" collaborators Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
In addition to her halftime hoedown, the Material Girl has been making her rounds to promote the album and her new film, 'W.E.,' which hit theaters on Friday (Feb. 3). She recently sat down with Jay Leno and Graham Norton, as well presenting at the Golden Globes (and taking one home!). Tickets for her world tour will go on sale immediately following her performance. Congrats, Madonna!

ZeeVee ZvBox Streams HD from Computer
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, HDTV, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop
Start-up company ZeeVee has a device that allows high-def web video and other content from your computer to be transmitted to any HDTV. Hook ZvBox to your monitor and it will broadcast to channel ZV, then goes through your cable. The company calls it "localcasting."
CEO and co-founder Vic Odryna said, "...since ZvBox provides a duplication of what you see on your monitor, anything you can do on your computer you can now do on your HDTVs."
The privilege doesn't come inexpensively. Available in June, you can pre-order at Amazon for $499.99. At that price, it should turn any TV into HD.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University junior forward Lee Russo (Westford, Mass./Westford Acad.) scored twice, once in each half, to lead the host Judges past visiting MIT, 2-0, on Gordon Field. With the win, Brandeis improves to 4-1 on the season, while the Engineers dip to 4-2 with their second-straight loss.
In the first half, MIT senior goalkeeper Dylan Rankin (Providence, R.I./Moses Brown School) kept the game scoreless in the 11th minute. He made a diving save to his right, at the far post on a free kick by Judge junior midfielder Joe Eisenbies (Hingham, Mass./Hingham) from just outside the 18, the first shot of the game.
On the second attempt of the contest, Russo found the back of the net in the 18th minute. Junior forward Sam Ocel (No. Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro) made a terrific cross through the goalmouth. Russo headed it past an outstretched Rankin at 17:03 to give Brandeis the 1-0 lead. It was Russo's second of the season and the 13th goal of his career.
Rankin stopped Russo twice more in the 21st and 23rd minutes to keep it a one-goal game. In the 40th minute, Rankin came out of nowhere to stone Brandeis rookie Tyler Savonen (Orleans, Mass./Nauset Regional). The Engineers finally put one on net in the 42nd minute, but Brandeis junior Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Regional) made the stop to give the hosts the one-goal lead at the half. Brandeis outshot MIT, 8-3, in the stanza and owned a 3-2 edge in corner kicks.
After Rankin made two more stops early in the second half, Minchoff had his shining moment in the 57th minute. He got in front of a hard shot off the foot of MIT's leading scorer, senior forward Zach Kabelac (Potomac, Md./Winston Churchill). The rebound went across the goalmouth to sophomore Jonathan Tebes (Hamden, Conn./Hamden), but Minchoff made a diving stop to preserve the shutout.
The game went back and forth the rest of the way, with MIT adding an extra forward to the field and Brandeis able to counterattack. Russo added his second goal of the game with just 1.7 seconds left on the clock when he lofted a high ball from midfield as Rankin scrambled back to his net. It bounced once and crossed the goal line just as before time ran out.
Minchoff finished with four saves for the Judges, earning his fourth shutout of the season in the process, while Rankin made seven stops for the Engineers. Brandeis outshot, MIT, 15-8, while corner kicks were even at 4-4. With the win, Brandeis improves to 28-24-3 against MIT in the second-most played rivalry in Judges' men's soccer history. The two sides have alternated wins in the last six contests.
Brandeis will travel to Babson College this Saturday for a 1 p.m. non-conference contest, while MIT has a 5 p.m. game on Wednesday at Roger Williams.

Integrity Sampling - Drug Testing
I am business development manager for a drug and alcohol testing business in QLD Australia. We specialise in on-site testing, as well as causal and incident testing. We also offer our clients a variety of services, ranging from policy development, to education and awareness.
I am about to launch a new packaging strategy for our services - seeking to add value and provide a total service package for our clients.
This brochure will be shown to new (and perhaps existing clients) and will be a key part of the sales process.
I am working on several projects at present and it may be possible the winning entry and I could work on several more projects in the near future.
I have set the prize money low presently with no guarantee since this is my first time here using this site and want to test the water. I am happy to reward great results though of course.
We regulary meet with people high up in the corporate world, as well as those who are involved in safety and risk management, and therefore we need our information to be both professional, and informative.
Our clients range from:
- Transport industry
- Building industry
- Admin
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing
- Mining
- Tourism
We require our brochure to have a professional edge to it, utilizing clear graphics and formatting.
I have provided a copy of the draft document titled "Drug & Alcohol Management Programs". I am not happy with the graphics or formatting at this stage. This will give you an idea of what I am trying to create.
I have also attached another one of our existing brochures to show you how that one looks. This new one can be totally different if you want it to be - The old one is just an example for you - to borrow some graphics if necessary etc - so please feel free to be creative.
Our colour scheme has traditionally been purple and green - but I am open to new options. In fact, it may be good if you can submit a purple/green and also a separate secondary colour scheme for my consideration.
None of the pictures I have used in my draft are set in concrete either if you have a better idea.
The front page graphic I have used with the circle diagram is also disappointing so far - so if you can amend this to something better that would be great.
If I can finish up with the graphics to use on my backgrounds, maybe some pictures to suit the theme and a new diagram to replace the circle one - I will be very happy.

But you don't know my Jesus,

Now He is in Heaven,
And He is waiting for your reply.

All you have to do is ask.
Jesus please forgive me,

Updated IT Reform Act Would Make CIOs Presidential Appointees
Revised proposal from Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., also scales back some plans for governmentwide IT acquisitions.
This story has been updated.
An updated draft of legislation to fundamentally reform how the government purchases information technology gives agency-level chief information officers more authority but scales back some earlier proposals to centralize purchasing for major IT products and services.
Most notably, the revised bill, proposed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., would make CIOs of all major civilian agencies presidential appointees or designees. Agency CIOs now are typically appointed by their department secretaries while chief financial officers are presidential appointees.
The revised bill also states the CIO should have a direct line to the secretary on important matters and retains language granting CIOs authority to shift funding within their agencies' technology budgets, a power now only granted to the Veterans Affairs Department CIO.
Issa plans to introduce the updated Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act soon and it will likely be discussed during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee business meeting March 20, a committee spokesman said. Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., will cosponsor the bill, a spokesman for Connolly said. Connolly is the ranking member of the oversight panel's government operations subcommittee.
Issa first floated the proposed federal IT reboot in September 2012 during the last Congress.
The updated legislation also "clarifies that open source software should be viewed on a level playing field with other forms of software acquisitions" but not given an advantage over proprietary software.
Technology industry groups including TechAmerica said they would not endorse the draft legislation unless a section promoting open source software was removed or revised. An Issa spokesman said at the time the legislation did not privilege open source software but merely suggested acquisition officials consider it when appropriate.
In testimony before Issa's committee in January, federal CIO Steven VanRoekel said he does not believe new legislation is necessary to improve federal IT performance.
The updated bill also adds language aimed at promoting a broader use of "fixed price technical competition" or "bid to price" contracts.
Under a bid to price model agencies state the price they plan to pay for a product or service and vendors compete to offer the best services for that price. Bid to price models have been used sparingly in government because the Federal Acquisition Regulation lacks clear guidance about how to use them, according to a fact sheet about the updated legislation compiled by oversight committee staff.
Such contracts might prompt agencies to more extensively review the appropriate balance between the price of a contract and the good or services the agency gets for that price, the fact sheet states.
Tight budgets have pushed agencies to increasingly rely on "lowest price technically acceptable" contracts, which means the agency must accept the cheapest bidder that it determines has met all of the contract's criteria. Acquisition officials worry those contracts give vendors an incentive to artificially lowball their bids, resulting either in shoddy products or in contracts that ultimately cost more than estimated.
The updated version of the IT reform bill scraps plans for a governmentwide Commodity IT Acquisition Center that would oversee or offer guidance on all IT contracts worth more than $500 million. In its place, the bill describes a Federal Infrastructure and Common Application Collaboration Center based inside the Office of Management and Budget. Collaboration center staff would serve as a "tiger team" to assist agencies with tricky acquisitions, according to the fact sheet.
The collaboration center would also assist agency CIOs with TechStat reviews of troubled IT projects.
Acquisition experts expressed concern in hearings and public forums that the IT Acquisition Center might unnecessarily duplicate the General Services Administration's work.
The legislation also entirely removes the term "commodity IT," which critics said was too vague and may cause confusion. Instead the bill uses the phrase "infrastructure and common applications."
The first draft of the bill described the creation of a collection of agency-based Assisted Acquisition Centers of Excellence with special expertise. Agencies would have been required to consult the centers about particular categories of IT purchases; the revised version makes consultation optional, noting acquisition experts said mandatory consultation may create unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.
The revised bill also strengthens language focused on improving and broadening the government's cadre of IT and acquisition experts, partly by mandating new plans from OMB to make those jobs attractive to people outside government and to demonstrate a clear career path in the fields.
The original version of the bill sought to codify several of the Obama administration's technology priorities, including reducing the government's stockpile of data centers, shifting more government computing to computer clouds and reducing the number of government websites.
The updated version of the bill would require agencies to report on the cost savings from data center consolidation annually, reflecting an administration shift to focus on the savings obtained by shuttering data centers rather than the raw number of centers closed. Federal CIO VanRoekel expects to ultimately save $5 billion by closing data centers.
The revised bill also:
- Gives agency chief information officers flexibility to establish working capital funds to help pay for the transition to cloud-based services;
- Adds language ensuring federal websites are accessible to people with disabilities; and,
- Mandates that roughly 80 percent of federal IT investments are tracked on the Federal IT Dashboard, compared with about 50 percent that are tracked on the dashboard currently.

COLUMBIA - If unemployed workers in South Carolina can't find a job in six months, they would have to volunteer 16 hours weekly to continue getting benefits from the state under a bill up for debate Tuesday by a Senate panel.
Its sponsor, Sen. Paul Campbell, said it's easier for people to get a job if they have a job of some sort, and his intent is to match people's skills with work that needs done in city or county governments and schools, from electrical work to assisting in classrooms.
"I just think if someone's busy working, they'll be more industrious and more likely to get a job," said Campbell, R-Goose Creek. "Depending on the skill they've got, I think we can put that skill to work. I'm not talking about collecting garbage on the side of the highway."
Campbell, a chemical engineer, says the unemployed would still have time to search for a paying job, while honing their skills.
His bill is among several involving unemployment benefits set for discussion in a Senate subcommittee meeting Tuesday, the start of the 2012 legislative session. Another would require laid-off workers to pass a drug test to qualify for benefits, and require the unemployed to pay for the test.
A spokesman for the U.S. Labor Department said the agency won't comment on proposed legislation.
But the senior attorney of the National Employment Law Project said both the drug testing and community service bills conflict with federal law. They also feed negative stereotypes of the unemployed, George Wentworth said.
"The unemployed are just a slice of America. They're you and I without a job," he said. "To suggest that the unemployed are lazy drug abusers who are just sitting around feeds a false, ugly stereotype. Most of these workers are unemployed because we have a horrible labor market."
South Carolina's unemployment rate is nearly 10 percent and has remained above the national average for years. The average unemployment benefit payment in South Carolina is $235 weekly, which ranks 45th nationwide. The maximum a laid-off worker can receive is $326 weekly.
Last year, Florida lawmakers considered a bill requiring community service for unemployment benefits, but it died after the Department of Labor informed lawmakers it would conflict with federal law, Wentworth said.
Sen. Kevin Bryant, R-Anderson, said the details of his drug testing bill must be worked out, and he acknowledged he's unsure what the federal agency would allow, but he wanted to jumpstart the process.
"Those working to keep their jobs are susceptible to a possible drug test - those working and paying taxes - so those drawing benefits from those taxes should be held accountable also. That's the argument," Bryant said. "Hopefully, folks would make the better decision to not use drugs, and we can get them back to work."
The bills will be in his subcommittee.
The idea of drug testing the unemployed has come up before.
Last year, Gov. Nikki Haley touted it in meetings across the state, but a reason she gave for needing the tests was erroneous. In September, Haley acknowledged she couldn't back a statistic she said she'd repeated numerous times: that half the workers applying for jobs at the Savannah River Site near Aiken failed drug tests. The real number? Less than 1 percent.
The U.S. House version of a bill renewing payroll tax cuts and an extension to jobless benefits would have allowed states to test applicants for illegal drugs. But that provision didn't make it to the final version passed by Congress last month.
Beyond not allowing the drug testing requirements, federal law doesn't allow states to put the cost of administering benefits on the worker, meaning workers couldn't be required to pay for their own test, Wentworth said.
Bryant said he believes that even if the state had to pay, it would be worth it.
"I think it's worth the cost out of principle. The money spent would be a good prevention to encourage people to not use illegal drugs," he said.
But Wentworth believes the expense would be a bad investment. Tests cost between $25 and $75 each. Texas lawmakers considered a similar idea but abandoned it after an estimate put the cost at $30 million, he said.
Florida enacted a law required people applying for welfare to pass drug tests, before a federal judge halted implementation on constitutional grounds. While it was in place, 2.5 percent of applicants tested positive, Wentworth said.
In 2010, less than 2 percent of pre-employment tests nationally were positive for drugs, according to an annual report from Quest Diagnostics, a national drug testing company.
"It's definitely a gross overreaction to subject everybody unemployed to tests, when it's really only a tiny fraction," Wentworth said.

As much as it pains me to say, actually have something decent in for once.
Bourjois Limited Edition Pots:
They are £5.75 each so the same as the retail price. If you are a bourjois nut you may like these – I am VERY tempted but I know the shadows won't get a look in when I have so many, far superior shadows so I may give it a miss.
ASOS also have Paul & Joe now, and Becca! I love Becca but its very expensive in the UK.
They also have an AMAZING Ciate box set, with 7 polishes inside, these are usually £7.50 but it's just £25 for 7 colours here.
Mmm it's time for a stilton cibatta….

Jan Paul needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 85 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
AllMarketing.com is a new website that will revolve around quality educational marketing content, and a friendly knowledgeable community. I'd like the design to be clean, modern and original. And with an authority / premium feel to it. But also open and friendly - because there will be a relatively big focus on community.
The prize money is $627 + $200 if you create the logo of choice.
The Wireframe
I have put together a wireframe of the desired layout here: http://www.allmarketing.com/wireframe/index.php. Just to be clear, the colors and lines etc. on the wireframe don't mean anything, I created the wireframe solely to lay out the desired positions and scaling of the different layout elements. The navigation system is basedon the navigation of http://news.yahoo.com so you can look there to see the navigation system in action.
The Color Scheme
Thepreferred color scheme is white and blue + at least one other color, But this is not set in stone so you can choose other colors if youfeel they look good for a site like this. Or just create the same design inmultiple color schemes.
The Feel
I want a web 2.0 design / feel. The design should radiate some authority, but not in a boring way or withoutpersonality. http://sitepoint.com has a good balance in my opinion (I liketheir colors, and the left half of their home page excluding the look of the"editor's choice" column). You can use their site as an example forthe feel that I'm aiming for, just don't make the design look like a SitePointclone or something close to that.
You couldalso say that I want the professional feel of a high quality premium content sitecombined with the personality and interaction of a blog.
What Needs To Be Done
Initially Ionly want to have the home page designed. After that I willhire the winner for future work on AllMarketing.com and maybe other projects. I'mlooking for talent.
The websiteshould be designed for the 1024x786 resolution, and delivered as a wellorganized and flexible Photoshop file. If you can design the website in1280x960 while keeping the same proportions so it's easily down scaled back to1024x786, that would be a plus.
- Original, clean & modern designs
- Authority / premium feel
- Open feel, inviting for visitors to participate
- Good contrast, content should be scannable
- No dark designs
- No clutter
- No flash
