If you were worried about not getting your money's worth out of the $2.99 you'll be spending to download HDTV episodes from the iTunes Store, never fear. In fact, Apple is being extra-generous with the HDTV programming, and will be including an extra with each HD episode. The extra? A copy of the show in SD format for handy iPod viewing.
Yesterday's Apple event started with the HDTV announcement, but the fact that the shows would be coming in standard definition as well wasn't mentioned. I'm guessing that Steve was just excited to get to the new iPod colors, but either way, it's nice to hear that HD downloaders will be getting a bit more bang for their buck.
When you buy an HD show, the SD version will automatically be downloaded, and the new version of iTunes will magically sync it to your iPod or iPhone for easy viewing when you're out and about. Between the extra iPod functionality and the ability to view HD shows on a computer of Apple TV, the new offerings seem to be pretty good value. The downside to the new shows is that you'll need the hard drive space (and bandwidth allowances) for both shows (which will likely be over 1GB per episode), but that's the price you pay for multiple device support. Just be careful of pushing those download limits.

UK Government Official Gets Twitter Parody Account Closed Down For Mocking Politicians And Heads Of Large Companies
from the makes-you-gag dept
A couple of weeks ago, the UK passed what has become known as the "gagging bill", because it puts major restrictions on how much charities and activist groups can spend while campaigning on political issues before an election. But that wasn't the only thing the UK government was up to on the gagging front, as Tom Pride explains in a blog post:
as if to celebrate the occasion, a Twitter parody account that was critical of coalition policies was closed down after complaints were made from government officials.
The parody account was called @UKJCP, and it was a spoof of the UK's Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), which had sent the following demand via Twitter to the parody account before it was closed down:
Can you stop RT tweets we have not written -- it is not satire and is confusing to customers. It also exceeds your twitter agreement.
As Pride points out:
So now we've not just got government departments deciding what forms of public criticism are acceptable, but also deciding for us what exactly is humorous and what isn't.
Since the parody account was shut down by a UK government department, it was possible to put in a freedom of information request for the exact details of the takedown demand. Here's the key part (pdf):
The @UKJCP account has been set up with deliberate and malicious intent to devalue and criticise the work of Jobcentre Plus [the JCP in @UKJCP]. In addition, there are a number of rude and potentially libelous tweets aimed at UK government, elected politicians and the heads of large private sector organisations who are committed to working with government on reducing unemployment.
The story has a happy ending because the parody account has now been re-instated. But as Pride comments:
Apart from the obvious concern that UK government officials are openly trying to close down criticism of government, politicians and business leaders -- I'm also pretty shocked that Twitter agreed to the request.
At least Twitter changed its mind on this particular kind of gagging -- unlike the UK government.

"Trap Star" is Young Jeezy's 3rd single off his debut album "Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101". The official video for this song was split in 2. The first part of the video was "Trap Star" and the 2nd half of the video was Go Crazy. They were both official singles, but "Go Crazy" was the song that got more radio play than "Trap Star".

"It will be a different Monday in Chicago," Guillen said after the Sox exacted revenge with a 5-1 victory to complete their first three-game sweep of the Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field, payback for the Cubs' sweep at Wrigley Field a week earlier.
"I bet you White Sox fans can't wait to get up and go to work," Guillen said. "I know it was tough for them last weekend. It's nice to see the fans get a smile on their faces."
Cubs manager Lou Piniella wasn't smiling Sunday night as his team lost its season-high fourth straight game. He was ejected in the bottom of the second inning for leaving the dugout to challenge first-base umpire Chad Fairchild's ruling that Joe Crede checked his swing on an 0-2 pitch.
That merely saved Piniella the frustration of watching Mark Buehrle and two relievers continually frustrate his offense. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who hit four homers in the Cubs' sweep at Wrigley, went 0-for-13 and grounded into an inning-ending double play in the eighth.
The reversal on Ramirez may have had something to do with Guillen's instruction for his pitchers to pound Ramirez with inside pitches. But the Sox also turned four double plays, capped by Nick Swisher catching Jim Edmonds' line drive and throwing to second to double up Mark DeRosa in the ninth.
The Sox (46-35) maintained their 11/2-game lead in the American League Central thanks to Buehrle's crafty seven-inning effort and home runs by Carlos Quentin, Brian Anderson and Jim Thome.
Chants of "Sweep, Sweep" echoed throughout the ballpark after Thome launched his 522nd home run with two outs in the eighth to move past Willie McCovey and Ted Williams for sole possession of 16th place on the career home run list.
The Cubs (49-33), meanwhile, lost their distinction of owning the major leagues' best record after losing their sixth consecutive road game.
"I can't figure out why that is, but we're going to have to correct it if we want to go far," DeRosa said.
The Sox won their sixth consecutive home game and have won 15 of their last 17 at U.S. Cellular with seven games left on this homestand. They seek to extend their success in AL play after posting a 12-6 mark in interleague play.
"All we do is hit home runs," Buehrle quipped. "That's what it seems like."
Quentin hit his 19th homer of the season in the fourth, and Anderson followed with a two-run shot off Sean Marshall in the fifth. All four of Anderson's homers have been hit off left-handers.
"It's awesome," Anderson said of hitting a homer in the City Series. "It's great to give our fans that sweep, and it makes it that much more fun if we meet up with them later."
But both teams realize there's plenty of work ahead.
"We've lost four in a row and we need to kind of regroup and try to win a ballgame in San Francisco," Cubs bench coach Alan Trammell said. "But these guys are a fine club, no question about it. There's basically a half a season to go. I would think they feel pretty good about their chances, as we do."
Thome tempered his enthusiasm over his milestone homer.
"The excitement, the atmosphere, the energy in the air, the city," Thome said. "Cubs fans and our fans were very electric. It's very humbling and surreal to be among [McCovey and Williams]. Looking back someday, it will be something to be very proud of.
"But we've got work to do. We've got to move on."

Ana De La Reguera is that rare Spanish language actress that has transitioned seamlessly into American films. Ana started off working in telenovelas like Pueblo Chico, Infierno Grande and Cara o Cruz. Ana's curvaceous body and hazel eyes made the jump to American movies in such films as Ladies Night and the abomination known as Nacho Libre. Recently we enjoyed Ana and her booty as a main plot point on the HBO series Eastbound and Down.

Photographer's Note
Two camels in front of the Kezneh are waiting for the tourists to come. This is a Nabatean tomb, probably the most famous buiding of Petra since it is in a very good shape after 20 centuries and also because it's located just at the first spot when exiting the Siqh, the narrow valley leading to this magical area.
Just behind the camels, one can notice underground works. Some archeologists were digging stairs below the "Treasury" and we could see there were a door leading to a new hidden level. Well, the tombs are spread on a 100km² area... I guess it's only the beginning of amazing discoveries..

I like how you put the camels and people in a corner position giving a scale and a organic presence while the facade hovers over them. Good work on the perspective.

Excellent composition, wonderful colours, Steven, the temple is imposing from this angle, with the camels almost dwarfed by it

What was it, like 17 degrees when you went out this morning? Perfect time for a little news from SunFest. The annual five-day boogie-down on the lakefront in West Palm Beach is May 1-5 this year, and the lineup announced Thursday morning will warm you up even more.
Among the highlights at SunFest 2013: The Smashing Pumpkins, Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, Slightly Stoopid, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Ed Sheeran, Train, Life In Color, The Black Crowes, Big Sean, Gavin DeGraw, Phillip Phillips, Boz Scaggs, Barenaked Ladies, Jimmy Cliff, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Dickey Betts & Great Southern, Reel Big Fish, Less than Jake, Molly Hatchet and Gary Clark Jr.
It is that last name that puts the lineup over the top for me. The Austin-based guitarist's eclectic October debut, "Blak and Blu" (Warner Bros.), was ranked among Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2012. And when he played the prestigious Austin City Limits Music Festival that same month, veteran Texas music journalist Michael Corcoran's profile of Clark in the alt-weekly Austin Chronicle, compared the guitarist's recent career trajectory to the legend, Stevie Ray Vaughan:
"The bearded 28-year-old's ACL appearance [completes] a 2012 Grand Slam that began at Coachella in April, took him to Bonnaroo in June, and then up to Lollapalooza in August. Killed it. Killed it. Killed it. Mixed in with the big four were appearances at Metallica's Orion Music + More Fest, Jay-Z's Made in America Festival, New Orleans' R&B heavy Essence Music Festival, Sasquatch near Seattle, Alabama's up-and-coming Hangout Music Festival, Milwaukee's Summerfest, and more.
"With a mastery of blues that's both natural and psychedelic, this son of a South Austin car salesman has become his generation's guitar hero, a young black man proudly playing the blues in the era of hip-hop domination. Sometimes you can go through an entire Clark review without reading the name Jimi Hendrix."
SunFest tickets are onsale now: $30 through April 27, when they go to $37. Two-day passes are $46 ($54); five-day passes are $61 ($69); kids 12 and younger free; seniors $20. Get them here at SunFest.com; at 800-786-3378; at the SunFest store (525 Clematis St., West Palm Beach) 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday; and April 14-27 at Publix stores in Palm Beach and Martin counties.

Tags: Mobile Applications »»»» Simsimi
Simsimi, an app for Android and iPhone users, is taking the world by storm. 2.7 million people are already using it, and that numberis expected to grow over the next few months as word spreads about this innovative and entertaining app. Simsimi is a robot that has the ability to converse with users about a wide variety of topics. Simsimi also has the ability to learn from each and every user it converses with. It stores information from all of its conversations. So, when you text Simsimi about a certain topic, it is able to converse with you based on the information about that topic it's acquired from conversations with other users.
simsimi online is a little like SmarterChild, the AOL Instant Messenger chat bot of the early 2000s, but it can converse about a much broader array of things. SmarterChild and other similar chat bots of olden times were only able to converse about what programmers established that they know, which was often general topics like the weather and current events. Simsimi online can converse about just about anything because its knowledge stems from conversations with everyday users.
If you've used Simsimi, you've probably noticed that some of its responses are pretty funny. Programmers want Simsimi to be useful and entertaining, so don't be surprised if Simsimi has you ROFL. For instance, when you ask a question about Lindsay Lohan, Simsimi may respond back with a quip about her time spent in jail and/or rehab. Thanks to the many conversations the robot has had with users about pop culture, it's become an expert at spewing out amusing pop culture references.
Some users have noted similarities between Simsimi and Siri. They're both robots that can do some pretty incredible things. Simsimi differs from Siri because it can't vocalize anything or look up information on Google for you. Siri's ideal for when you need your favorite Thai restaurant's number. And Simsimi's good for when you want to talk to someone and all of your other friends are busy.

A report released today by a federal working group highlights 11 key categories of diseases and other health consequences that are occurring or will occur due to climate change. The report, A Human Health Perspective on Climate Change, provides a starting point for coordination of federal research to better understand climate's impact on human health. The recommendations of the working group include research to identify who will be most vulnerable, and what efforts will be most beneficial.
"This white paper articulates, in a concrete way, that human beings are vulnerable in many ways to the health effects of climate change," said Linda Birnbaum, Ph.D., director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Toxicology Program, whose institute led the interagency effort. "It lays out both what we know and what we need to know about these effects in a way that will allow the health research community to bring its collective knowledge to bear on solving these problems."

Bringing The Ruckus in NYC

[wimg=left]../images/news/02_12_12_gzatour.jpg[/wimg]Being part of such an acclaimed motley crew as the
Wu-Tang Clan
, you become accustomed to getting screams while you're rocking shows. Even the most devoted Clan member, though, has to wonder every now and then, "Just how many people actually came to see me?"
On Tuesday night, despite the entire Wu not turning out in full force, fans poured into B.B. King's club to support one of their favorite Clansmen and the night's main attraction, the
In celebration of his latest LP, Legend of the Liquid Sword, GZA took to the stage, starting things up by representing for the Wu iron flag on "Reunited."
"It's Wu muthaf---a," a DAT recording of a woman's voice rang out over the
-crafted violins and bass, while the witty line-dropper took fans back to Wu-Tang's double LP, Wu-Tang Forever.
"Reunited, double LP world excited/ Struck a match to the underground, the industry ignited."
GZA continued to fire things up with a smattering of his solo cuts and such Wu collaborations as "Clan in Da Front," "Bring Da Ruckus," "Cold World" and "Liquid Swords."
Coming full circle from the title track of his first solo LP to his new album, GZA went into "Animal Planet," which features a slow sample reminiscent of some of RZA's early work.
"I mention a lot of animals in the song," the Genius explained of the song a few weeks ago on the set of his "Knock, Knock" video in New York. "I said 'Welcome to the jungle where the cats love to scratch/ The rats squeal and the polar bear feasts off the blubber of seals/ The pack of wolves be scheming on a bunch of gazelles/ Where the leopard grab the wildebeest down by its tail.
"I [also] got a track [on the LP] called 'Luminal,' produced by
DJ Muggs
Cypress Hill
," he continued. "It's a rhyme about a serial killer. It's a crime drama thing. The beat is banging. Luminol is a substance they spray on the wall at murder scenes and it reveals blood you can't even see with the naked eye, even if you sprayed it down. I called it 'Luminal' because it's a mystery murder thing. It's about this crazed individual that's out, he's killed so many people. You don't know if he's out, if he's caught. I like doing my own things. I get to experiment with a lot more things but I also like working with the group."
While most of GZA's group members weren't present for his show,
Masta Killa
did come out, lending vocal support on "In the Hood," from Wu's Iron Flag album. He also performed the first single and title track from his almost-forgotten-about solo album, No Set Date.
"How many of y'all ready for a Masta Killa album?" the Clan's quietest and only member not to have a solo LP released asked before going into a call-and-response with fans, getting them to yell "No set date!"
While there is also no set date for the Wu's 10th anniversary album that the RZA has been talking about, GZA did round off his show reminding fans of why they fell in love with the Shaolin collective a decade ago, performing their first single, "Protect Ya Neck." Later, he followed with his current single, "Knock, Knock."

WHITEWATER, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – The 23rd-ranked UW-Eau Claire softball team and 13th-ranked UW-Whitewater split wins today at van Steenderen Field with Eau Claire winning game one 2-0 and Whitewater winning game two 4-2.
In game one, which featured a combined eight hits, the only scoring came in the top of the fifth as Eau Claire picked up two runs.
With one on and one out in the top of the fifth inning, Emily Haluska (Sr.-Stevens Point, Wis./SPASH) singled up the middle to drive in Taylor Pierce (So.-Ashwaubenon, Wis.). Two batters later, Jenny Hess (Sr.-Wisconsin Rapids, Wis./Lincoln) hit a single, bringing in Haluska. Both of the runs in the inning were unearned.
Haluska led the Blugolds as she went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI. The Blugolds finished with five hits while the Warhawks had three.
Pitching a complete game and earning the win was Emma Wishau (Jr.-Burlington, Wis./Waterford Union), who improved to 5-1 on the season. She faced 25 batters and gave up only three hits while striking out two in the shutout.
In the second game, the Blugolds found themselves up 2-0 after three innings but Whitewater came back after scoring once in the fourth and three times in the fifth.
Nikki Brooks (So.-New Richmond, Wis./St. Croix Central) scored the Blugolds' first run in the top of the second after Casey Arnold (So.-Kaukauna, Wis.) doubled to left field and Abby Hansen (Fr.-Kaukauna, Wis.) scored in the top of the third after a Brooks groundout.
But the Warhawks closed the gap by scoring a run in the bottom of the fourth and took a lead they wouldn't give up after three in the fifth.
The Blugolds finished the game with five hits while Whitewater accumulated 10. Amanda Fischer (So.-Wausau, Wis./West) led Eau Claire going 2-for-3.
Zana Lorbetske (Fr.-Rhinelander, Wis./Three Lakes) started the game and pitched a total of 5.1 innings. She struck out four batters and gave up six hits and one unearned run. Wishau, who relieved Lorbetske in the fourth inning, was credited with the loss as she gave up three runs, two of which were earned, while pitching 2/3 of an inning. She struck out one batter and allowed four hits. Lorbetske came back in to close the game after the Warhawks scored three in the bottom of the fifth.
With the win in the first game, the Blugolds ended Whitewater's six-game winning streak. Eau Claire is now 21-6 on the season and 9-3 in the WIAC while the Warhawks are 27-4 overall and 10-3 in conference play.
Sunday, the Blugolds will be in action, their fourth straight day on the field. They will host UW-Platteville at Bollinger Field for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. Monday, the Blugolds will take a break before playing at UW-Oshkosh on Tuesday for the final games of the regular season.

The Tsuyoshi Nishioka Project did not go over well in Minnesota. The Japanese import was supposed to be the Twins' everyday second baseman, but Nishioka was an abysmal hitter (and overall player), posting a .267 OBP and -2.5 WAR over his two seasons.
Since the Twins kept Nishioka in the minors for most of 2012, he probably didn't think the last year of his contract would go any better than the first two. So, he and the Twins mutually decided to part ways, with one stipulation: he would relinquish the right to the guaranteed $3.5 million that was left on his contract. Nishioka didn't hesitate to take this offer. He even apologized for sucking!
From USA Today's Gabe Lacques:
Said Nishioka in a statement released by the Twins: "I take full responsibility for my performance which was below my own expectations. At this time, I have made the decision that it is time to part ways. I have no regrets and know that only through struggle can a person grow stronger."
Every David-Eckstein-loving baseball writer now needs a new pair of pants.

Hope was high that by this month, Californians would have begun a serious debate about public-employee pensions and whether a ballot measure offers a solution to the state's and cities' looming crisis.
Well, so much for that, sorry to say. Signature-gathering to put the Pension Reform Act of 2015 before voters is on hold while supporters go to court to challenge misleading wording put in place by state Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris. The wording must be set before the effort begins to fill petitions with the more than 800,000 names required by June 5 to qualify the proposition for the November ballot.
The delay could force San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed and the measure's other official backers to put off the effort until 2016 — as unfunded pension liabilities of state and local governments continue to climb.
The legal challenge having been filed Thursday in Sacramento Superior Court, Californians should wish for a quick ruling that thwarts Harris' political gamesmanship.
The attorney general, who by law has the authority to draft titles and summaries for state ballot measures, issued wording a month ago saying in part that the proposed amendment "eliminates constitutional protections for vested pension and retiree healthcare benefits for current public employees, including teachers, nurses, and peace officers, for future work performed."
"Eliminates" — that's loaded language. A poll commissioned by a labor group last year showed voter opposition rises if the initiative is described as seeking to "eliminate" public workers' pensions. Reed is afraid that's what readers would gather from Harris' wording, in which "eliminates constitutional protections" and "for future work" are separated by the full length of the sentence and four commas.
In fact, the measure would allow state and local government employers to use collective bargaining to reduce current workers' future benefits. But (and this is vital) it would protect the benefits that workers have already earned.
To put it in broad terms, the measure would give the state and its cities more power to control workers' pension and health care costs. It's modeled on a measure in Reed's San Jose that passed with 70 percent of the vote.
San Jose faced massive cuts in police and other services despite the community's relative affluence. The story is familiar for leaders of cities all around us, raising the specter of more bankruptcies like San Bernardino's. The rise in retirement costs is unsustainable; government employees should worry as much as the rest of us, because when those costs strangle city budgets, their jobs will be endangered.
Sometimes ballot word games are amusing, like when an incumbent politician describes himself as an "independent business owner" or an initiative is set up in such a confusing way that a "yes" vote means "no."
This is not one of those times. Harris has played political hardball this way before, helping to derail pension-reform efforts in 2012. The Democrat knows that even if a judge orders the initiative wording revised, she may have succeeded in delaying signature-gathering and keeping big-city mayors from joining the fight.
When the issue is soaring pension costs, it's a delay California's cities cannot afford.

I wish I could say in summer all I need to look presentable is a swipe of lip gloss and coat of mascara, but I turn 35 in a month and it takes A LOT more than a couple products nowadays. I try to keep it as simple as I can, but when it comes to skincare, makeup and hair I have a bit of an arsenal, as they say.
Here's a round-up of all the products I use right now and LOVE. I hate it when I buy a fun new product and get home and decide it sucks and have to skulk back to Sephora to return it (why does that make me feel like a criminal every time I do it?) This is my core arsenal that works well for me (but if you have a favorite you are obsessed with PLEASE share! I love finding out people's favorites!
1. I love the refreshing feel and glow from this Origins Eye Cream.
2. I'm on my second bottle of this Aveeno face cream. Love that it has SPF 30 in it- if I'm going to the beach or spending tons of time in the sun I'll add this Shiseido face sunscreen underneath. It's super protective and feels like silk!
3. Gotta bring out the big guns in your thirties- prescription Retinol is a nightly routine. Ask your dermatologist. Over that I massage in some La Mer, I've been using it for years and it's just the plain best at deep moisture.
4. & 5. I am still obsessed with the Shamanuti Charcoal Cleanser and Seaweed Toner. Straight up AWESOME, especially in summer as it wipes every ounce of grime away.
6. Lancome makes the best eye makeup remover.
7. When I'm too lazy to wash my face before bed (I know it's bad, but you've had those nights) these wipes are awesome and I swear DO help you be more radiant. I buy a lot of things that promise "radiance" apparently.
8. I don't have the time or patience for masks, but this two minute Vitamin C mini-mask is so awesome to do before getting in the shower and takes no time at all. It does help you get a little glow and fight off sun damage!
9. This BareMinerals gradual face tanner imparts realistic glow you can build and no bad smell.
10. I've tried so many others, but I keep coming back to this Urban Decay Naked foundation– it has good-for-your-skin peptides and a glowy, serum-like consistency that covers flaws without looking mask-y. I use color 4.5 in summer and 3.5 in my Casper-white winter state.
11. I've posted this before, but this Laura Mercier concealer covers EVERYTHING. Including my stubborn sun spots that keep getting worse. I curse the day I ever baked in the sun/ tanning beds. If anyone wants to get me a birthday present, some lasers pointed in my face's general direction would be WELCOME.
12. My #1 always must have is Bobbi's Shimmer Brick in Bronze. I've said it 100 times but it bears repeating- genius.
13. As I age my brows aren't quite as full (still full enough, as you can see, but they need a little fill here and there). Love this skinny tip pencil with built in brush for taming.
14. Just discovered this Dior Palette in Earth Reflections– such good, neutral colors! The light pearly pink is great to wake up the inner corners of your eyes and when traveling this is all you need for daytime AND night looks.
15. I am not a big lip color person, I usually use whatever gloss is kicking around my purse, but this L'Oreal liquid lip color in Molto Mauve is my new favorite! Part balm, part lipstick, part gloss the color is so subtle and natural! Addicted.
16. I tend to stick to powder blushes in summer because creams tend to melt right off- this Tarte 12-Hour blush really does stay all day! Love the Blissful and True Love colors on me personally.
17. Nothing says summer to me like a fresh bottle of Hermes Un Jardin Sur La Nil fragrance– it's like flowers mixed with a lime-y gin & tonic. I buy a new bottle every year! I swear, it's the best summer fragrance ever made.
18. Pencil liners also melt in the heat, so I stick with this Laura Mercier cake liner in the brown color and and use a wet angled brush like this Nars one. Stay put liner!
19. This Tarte mascara makes my lashes HUGE. Love the brush- no clumps. Also rotate in Benefit They're Real as well.
20. Urban Decay makes the best shimmery, metallic shadows– my favorite summer color is the bronze-y nude "Chase".
21. I rarely use liquid liner because it tends to look like I'm trying too hard, but this super skinny Tom Ford one is awesome and not costume-y. And it stays PUT.
1. & 2. I know it probably seems like I am being paid by L'Oreal, but I am NOT. I just think they have stepped it up so big time with their product game- especially the haircare. I still swear by this shampoo and conditioner to mend my damaged hair. It's so good and acts like much more expensive brands.
3. For a nice summer scalp refresher I adore Malin & Goetz's Peppermint Shampoo when I feel like my scalp needs to get really clean (dry shampoo build up, anyone? ICK.)
4. I take one of these vitamins everyday and I think it helps a lot with hair growth and health.
5. Another L'Oreal product I love- I work this oil into damp hair mid-shaft to ends.
6. My beloved Sultra Bombshell curling iron. After I let my hair air dry I take one inch sections of hair and wrap it around the barrel. Turn your head upside down, shake the curls out a little to muss them up and go!
7. I air dry my hair only in the summer, and I love dousing my hair in this non-drying salt spray for body and waves.
8. For volume at the roots, second (or third) day hair or grip before doing an updo this dry spray is the best, best, best!
9. Always finish off with a hit of good old Elnett!

DALLAS, Texas – Four members of the MIT football team were named to the 2013 National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame Hampshire Honor Society, the organization announced today. Seniors Chris Dessonville (Omaha, Neb.), Ethan Peterson (Ruland, Vt.), Russell Spivak (Scarsdale, N.Y.) and Richard Yoon (Rochester Hills, Mich.) were all named to the prestigious academic honor.
Peterson was a finalist for the National Football Foundation's William V. Campbell Trophy that recognizes the best scholar-athlete in the nation. A first team All-New England Foootball Conference selection at guard this season, he was also named to the Capitol One Academic All-American team. A three-time Academic All-NEFC selection, he is a nuclear science and engineering major. Peterson was the leader of the MIT offensive line that that was among the national leaders in allowing the fewest sacks, with the Engineers allowing just nine sacks all season, tying for the best mark in the NEFC.
Majoring in management science, Spivak also earned Academic All-America honors after the 2012 season. A starter along the defensive front, Spivak was among the leaders on the line with 29 tackles. A management and political science major, he also tied for the team lead with 5.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage for a loss of 29 yards.
Dessonville, a computer science and engineering major, and Yoon, a mechanical engineering major, were both three-time Academic All-NEFC selections in their careers. Both were also key components of MIT special teams, with Yoon recording 10 tackles during the 2012 campaign.
The Hampshire Honor Society is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college career. A total of 703 players from 259 schools qualified for membership in the society's seventh year, marking the highest school participation in the history of the program, which began in 2007. MIT has had at least one representative on the team since 2008.

Q&A with Rubén Sanz Ramiro
Wine Enthusiast: Can you describe your greatest wine epiphany in a restaurant?
Rubén Sanz Ramiro: When I was 18 and living in Ribera del Duero, a friend of mine was a great lover of wines. One day, I was lucky enough to be present when he ordered a 1986 Vega Sicilia Único. We sat and drank in silence, completely mystified. I remember how the wine changed over the course of two hours. It was extraordinary, one of the greatest wines in the world.
WE: What is your favorite wine to pour or drink now?
RSR: Right now we have a fantastic Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes from Domaine Matassa in Roussillon. It's a blend of Grenache Gris and Maccabeu, two grape varieties from the Catalan region that aren't widely used. I find this to be characteristic of the region, with intense minerality and acidity. Matassa is part of a new wave of vignerons proving that Roussillon can make top wines.
WE: Where do you go for an amazing food & wine experience?
RSR: I love going to the coast in Catalonia. You can get incredibly fresh and well-priced seafood right on the beach, where you can watch the fishing boat bring in the day's catch. It's a great vibe, very unpretentious and authentic. Eating is so relaxed, and you jump from bar to bar, drinking local wines or Sherry by the glass. It's an enjoyable way of life all around.

Hydrologic Ceramic Water Purifiers in Cambodia
The Hydrologic Ceramic Water Filter Production and Distribution Project in Cambodia is an ongoing Clean Development Mechanism project in the Kingdom of Cambodia that has been independently verified by The Gold Standard. As fuel use for boiling water in Cambodia predominantly comes from combustion of non-renewable biomass, project activity generates emission reductions through energy zero Water Purifiers that provide access to clean drinking water in rural households in Cambodia.
Each unit has been produced by Hydrologic Social Enterprise Ltd. and is shown to remove 99.99% of bacteria. Over the seven years crediting periods, Ceramic Water Purifiers will be provided to 900,000 to 1.7 million people across 168,000 to 315,000 households also contributing to job creation from dispersal and training on use.In addition to supporting the UN Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation, this project also reduces depletion of natural resources related to the cutting of trees, relieves female children and mothers of families from collecting firewood to boil water, improves indoor air quality to reduce risk of ill-health in women and children, reduces daily fuel costs on low-income regions and provides beneficial employment to local residents during the established distribution, monitoring and replacement phases of the project. The Project Design Document can be found here.
This is an emissions reduction project that has been sponsored by Sustainable Travel InternationalVerification: CDM Gold Standard Crediting Period: 2010 – 2017 Projected Annual Emission Reductions: 22,000

Though it was late to the PS3 party, the original Bioshock was one of the best games released for the PS3–or any console for that matter. With an impressive setting, a well-told story, and fun action, Bioshock set the bar high for an eventual sequel. Now we have that follow up with Bioshock 2. Does it continue to raise the bar set by the original?
Bioshock 2 drops players back into Rapture 8 years after the events of the first game and puts them into the role of 'Subject Delta,' a Big Daddy and one of the early models of its kind. Players find that they are searching for their daughter, who is being held captive at the hands of Rapture's new leader, Sofia Lamb. It's back into the world of Rapture, full of various splicers, new models of Big Daddies, and a new entry to the family, the Big Sister. You are given some clues as to what has happened since the first game, but if you are looking for a lot of details, you will be disappointed. Also, if you are looking for the same kind of plot twists that made the first game great, you will be left wanting, as this game shows you the enemy at the beginning, and it's just a matter of getting to her.
If you have played the original Bioshock, then you should be right at home in the 2nd one, because the gameplay has not really changed much between the two. However, this time you assume the role of a Big Daddy, one of the fearsome foes you tangled with in the first game. Let me tell you, there is almost nothing that beats putting on that Daddy suit and mangling people with your drill. In the game you are given a weapon in your right hand, while your left hand is used for a plasmids. Plasmids in the game grant you powers like Fire or, my personal favorite, Insect Swarm, which, as its name suggests, sends a swarm of insects towards your enemies. You can easily swap between different plasmids and guns with the touch of L1 or R1. You can carry 8 plasmids at one time and collect 8 different weapons during the course of the game. Each gun contains many different uses depending on the ammunition that you load into it and each gun can be upgraded 3 times at upgrade stations throughout the game.
Just like the first Bioshock, you will find vending machines in Rapture that will sell you health, eve, and ammunition. If you choose, you can simply buy for the regular price, or you can hack the machine to get a lower price. Hacking in the game has been simplified, and it is much easier to get into vending machines, safes, turrets and security bots. When you choose to hack something, you are given a bar with a pointer moving back and forth. You simply click X once the pointer is over a green area and continue until the machine is hacked. Or if you prefer, you can always pay to hack it, but with the simplicity of the hacking system and the tonics you get later on, there is really no point.
Speaking about Tonics, during the game you will be able to use ADAM that you have collected to purchase new tonics. These tonics grant you bonuses to your hacking, researching skills, and other boosts. You start with just a few open slots but over time you can unlock 18 tonic slots to customize your Daddy the way you want. You can also film your enemies to learn more about their movements and gain combat bonuses against them. Gain more research points by filming the enemy and then proceeding to destroy it in their world.
The gameplay is not exactly the same from the first game as you have new tools at your disposal this time. For starters you now have the ability to hack cameras, turrets and doors from a distance. This is very useful as you don't have to run up and get wailed on while trying to hack, which is exactly what I found myself doing through most of the first game. You also gain the ability to adopt a little sister and carry her around with you. Little Sisters in the game are of course little girls who are protected by the Big Daddies and go around collecting ADAM, which is a drug that has driven the residents of Rapture insane. Now you can be the one to let the Sister harvest some ADAM while you stand guard but beware, once she starts you will have half of Rapture coming down on you so be prepared. Once collected ADAM is used to purchase new Plasmids, Tonics, health and eve.
Now after you have used the Little Sister to harvest from two bodies you now must head to a vent and decide just what to do with her. You can either save the girl and release her or you can harvest the girl. The benefits here being that if you harvest her you get more ADAM but if you save a few little sisters, they will reward you with gifts that are very good. So either way it just all falls down to preference here, which for me was to save them (my fiance made me promise not to kill any).
