GODWIN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WIN COLOSSAL POOL PARTY AT WATER COUNTRY USA® 5/30/2014 2:31:00 PM For more information, media may contact: Busch Gardens® Communications email@example.com (757) 253-3369 Mills E. Godwin High School Students win Colossal Pool Party at Water Country USA® WILLIAMSBURG (May 30, 2014) – Mills E. Godwin High School students are headed to Virginia's largest water park this Saturday for a colossal field trip and pool party. Water Country USA® announced the Henrico County school as the winner of the park's Colossal Pool Party Giveaway. The school has won admission to Water Country USA for up to 300 students and chaperones, plus an exclusive two-hour party at the park after it closes to guests. Earlier this spring, Water Country USA launched a video submission contest to celebrate the summer season and the opening of its newest family-thrill attraction, Colossal Curl™. High schools throughout the mid-Atlantic region were invited to submit a video detailing why they deserved to win a Colossal Pool Party at Water Country USA. The park narrowed down the submissions to two finalists and Water Country USA's Facebook fans were invited to vote to select the winner. To view the winner's video, visit Water Country USA's Official YouTube Channel. Colossal Curl officially opened for the season on May 23. True to its name, Colossal Curl thrills guests with a high-adrenaline, action-packed water slide adventure. The park's first family-thrill attraction features a funnel element that swishes and swirls up to four riders aboard a cloverleaf-shaped raft before whisking them through the slide's enclosed tubes on their way to a wave element that hurtles them high above the park. The unique combination of funnel and wave thrill elements, makes Colossal Curl the only attraction of its kind in North America. ###

The death of Butaleja Woman MP Cerinah Nebanda has turned her boyfriend Adams Suleiman Kalungi into one of the country's most wanted persons. The Police have told New Vision online he was on their watch list and had not been arrested before for lack of evidence, but was highly suspected to be a drug dealer.
Last week, the Police bust the racket of suspected drug dealers believed to have been accomplices of Kalungi and arrested Ali Omara Al-Muzahim, a Ugandan; Ibrahim Muhammed, an Eritrean; Abdi Rashid-Bott, alias Igbal-Rashid, a Ugandan of Pakistani origin living in Kiwafu-Kabalagala.
Ali Omara was found with approximately half a kilogramme of a drug called Methamphetamine.
"Adam led a discreet life and you could not tell he was in the business," Police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba said.
Born in a wealthy family in the late 1970's, his 82-year-old father, Col. Mohammed Suleiman, is a former soldier in Idi Amin's army. He operated several buses and also owned property in Jinja.
Kalungi attended St. James and Main Street Primary schools in the early 1980's, before joining Jinja Secondary School, where he sat his Senior Four.
"He was my friend and I grew up seeing him at Lubas Road in Jinja. We went together to the same schools. I actually know his family," says Peter, a classmate.
Unlike his other brothers and sisters, Kalungi grew up with his father, until he was around 18. When the family wealth dwindled in the early 1990s, he left in search of his mother who was of Somali origin and was then living in Kenya.
Nobody knows much about him thereafter, but after a short stint in Kenya, he resurfaced and joined the logistics business, where he worked as a clearing and forwarding agent, a job that saw him traverse East Africa. According to Police sources, he was a widely travelled man and his business trips had taken him to Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and the DR Congo, among other countries.
It was during his logistics trade that he got introduced to drugs.
"He became an important clearing agent and ran one of the most discreet drug cells that operated in the region. His clients, the Police say, included high profile businessmen, politicians, musicians and the expatriate community," adds a Police source.
With money coming in, he started helping his ailing father and even paid his rent in Jinja. For last three years he has been unemployed, but has been accompanying Nebanda to functions and night clubs.
For the time he lived in Buziga, close friends say all they knew was he worked in a firm, but nobody can point it out.
"We could see him leave in the morning and return in the evening and thereafter leave to go and hangout," a friend said. Patrons who knew Kalungi at Als Bar, a popular joint, say he was generous and was always in the company of different women, his favourite being the MP and another Sudanese woman in her mid-thirties.
His father last saw him in June 2010 when he accidentally bumped into him on the streets of Jinja. In September, Kalungi and Nebanda were involved in a freak accident while driving from a joint in Bukoto. They rammed their car into a fence on the Lugogo bypass.
Kalungi also often drove the MP's Toyota Progress as she drove her other car a Toyota Land Cruiser with personalised plates.
Two weeks later, Nebanda allegedly asked Kalungi to look for another car and he identified a Toyota Rav4 that police recovered in Buziga.
New Vision has learnt that the couple, started dating way back during the MP's campus days and were planning a customary marriage.
"They started dating when she was a first-year student at Makerere University's Faculty of Social Sciences. At that time, she was the only student in the faculty who had two personal cars and she even became president of the faculty's

Yeah, I bought this filter thinking it was a replacement filter for my Raptor. I got the product and clearly didn't fit. I called them asking which one I actually needed. The person on the phone told me which one I needed exactly and was very helpful in telling me I could return this product because it was unused "no problem/ no extra cost". I said lets wait till I get my new filter back so I can send the wrong one back in that box they sent it to me. He said that was no problem to just call in and say I need to return. So I called in about a week later to return. That person told me cause it was my fault I have to pay to return. Cheaper to keep the item and sell on ebay. Just telling people to "READ."

The growth of a rare breed and its future development is totally dependent on an informed, honest and motivated breeder network. N.A.S.A. is as concerned about the relationships between breeders as it is about the goats they breed. Since it is impossible to regulate integrity, it is imperative that all Savannah enthusiasts know the stock and know the breeders.
N.A.S.A. preserves authentic South Africa stock maintaining that easy care performance traits and strong mothering ability are paramount to ongoing breeding selection and breed success. Watch the documentary and interviews of breed founder and developers Lubbe Cilliers and Dr. Quentin Campbell taken in South Africa 1999.

after seeing Steamboat on Raw, I wouldn't be surprised if Richie feuded with Barrett soon.
This year I'd like to see:
Corey Graves
Big E
Mason Ryan
Ritchie Steamboat
Bo Dallas
Kassius Ohno
Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) + stable
All called up to the main roster with a decent mid-card push.
I'd also like to see Antionio Cesaro and Ryback continue their steady push.
A Ted DeBiase push wouldn't go a miss either...
Isn't Big E on Raw? Also I thought A-ry was injured.
Alex Riley started working house shows and dark matches over the holidays, and made a cameo on the New Year's episode, and worked the recent NXT tapings where Big E won the title.
Riley should get a push. He deserves to at least be on Kofi's level of occasional midcard champ, and enhancement jobber to the stars for main event heels like Big Show or Ziggler. Maybe put him back together with Miz. Since Miz isn't gonna go back into the World Title picture any time soon, Miz and Riley could be a tag team, or at least an on and off alliance.

CeBIT 2008: Bling My Thing's £20k gold and crystal MacBook Air
"Golden Age" is the name of this new, er, product, the world's first Apple MacBook Air to be fully crystallised with 12,000 "dazzling" Swarovski elements.
The reason it looks so darn shiny is that the crystals are specially coated with 24k gold from underneath so that the transparent crystals can reflect the true gold colour.
Inspired by a traditional Japanese pattern, each "Golden Age" takes a week to create as each crystal is apparently painstakingly applied one at a time on to the hand-painted surface.
With a limited edition of only 20 pieces worldwide this is described as "undoubtedly the ultimate luxury treat for the person who thought they had everything". Aside from taste or sense, clearly.
The "Golden Age" is getting a CeBIT debut, but will be shown also at Selfridges, Oxford Street, where the department store will sell one of the 20 "Golden Age" notebooks as of 18th March.
Don't all rush at once.

Relatives of Lebanese kidnapped in Syria protest outside the Justice Ministry in Beirut, Tuesday, March 26, 2013. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: The relatives of the group of Lebanese kidnapped in Syria last year protested Tuesday outside Arab League offices to appeal for help in securing the release of their loved ones.
The families of the nine remaining hostages held by rebels in Aleppo, Syria, gathered outside the offices of the Arab justice ministers, which is meters away from Lebanon's Justice Palace.
The protesters, including women and children, held banners addressing the Syrian opposition, which for the first time took over Damascus' vacant seat at an Arab League-sponsored conference in Qatar.
"How do you reject oppression while you bring [something] even worse," a banner held by one woman at the rally said.
"We welcome your people and you kidnap ours, oh you callers of freedom," another placard read.
Other signs called on President Michel Sleiman, currently attending the League summit in Doha, to do more to secure the release of the nine Shiite pilgrims.
According to Lebanon's National News Agency, Sleiman met with Turkish Foreign Affairs Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on the sidelines of the League summit, and urged that "Turkey exert every effort within its means to secure the release of the nine Lebanese kidnapped in Syria."
Ankara has repeatedly said it is exerting efforts to help secure the release of the abducted Lebanese.
The families, whose protest resulted in crippling traffic in Beirut, vowed to continue their movement and block more roads to ensure their voices are not ignored.
Eleven Lebanese were kidnapped by a rebel group in May of 2012 in Azaz after crossing from Turkey, returning from a pilgrimage in Iran. Two of them have been released so far.
Qatar recently appointed an official to follow up on their case after Lebanese officials traveled to Doha late last year, appealing for the Gulf country's help given its close ties with the Syrian opposition.
The families have held several protests since the abduction and have even used burning tires and trash to block the roads in order to add further pressure on officials.
The Free Syrian Army said in December it would restart efforts to help free the pilgrims as per former Prime Minister Saad Hariri's request.

Chambers Gallery
I found the Chambers Kitchen and Gallery to be a very relaxing and interesting place. I loved the many artworks and sculptures around the restaurant area itself and the different pictures in the gallery. One picture I found really interesting was Chen Ping Ping's picture "Bliss" which depicts two women in white dresses sitting or lying down in a room covered in cotton. It gives the idea that bliss is indistinct, simple, and fuzzy. This picture seems to give meaning to the phrase "ignorance is bliss." There is little color other than pink flowers and silver necklaces. The picture implies a simple lifestyle with few material possessions. I thought it also implied that bliss was relaxing and allows one to lay back and not worry about anything. This picture among others appear to hold many meanings and I thought it was pretty interesting.

Tel Aviv is known as the "gay city" of Israel. Some estimates say that 15% of Tel Avivians are LGBT, probably because most Israelis who are gay escape the smaller towns for the big city of night life, beaches, and fabulouness. But Be'er Sheva, a smaller city in the South of Israel (the Neveg), is making its own steps towards inclusivity. This year, the municipality, which included an ultra-Orthodox Jew, approved the first Gay Pride Parade. Hear from Shai as he described the triumphs and challenges of the day.

Lancet Series Finds That Cutting Greenhouse Pollutants Will Have Major Direct Health Benefits Worldwide
28 November 2009
Tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions will have major direct health benefits in addition to reducing the risk of climate change, especially in low-income countries, according to a series of six papers on "Health and Climate Change" published 25 November in the British medical journal The Lancet.
The studies use case studies to demonstrate the co-benefits of tackling climate change in four sectors: electricity generation, household energy use, transportation, and food and agriculture.
Policymakers need to know that if they exert their efforts in certain directions, they can obtain important public health benefits as well as climate benefits. Climate change threatens us all, but its impact will likely be greatest on the poorest communities in every country. Thus, it has been called the most regressive tax in human history. Carefully choosing how we reduce greenhouse gas emissions will have the added benefit of reducing global health inequities.—Kirk R. Smith, professor of global environmental health at UC Berkeley and principal investigator in the United States for the overall research effort
Each study in the series examines the health implications in both high- and low-income countries of actions designed to reduce the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. Climate change due to emission of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel energy sources causes air pollution by increasing ground-level ozone and concentrations of fine particulate matter.
The studies were commissioned by the NIEHS, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in part to help inform discussions next month at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen. The NIEHS is one of the key sponsors of the international event.
A case study led by Smith on the health and climate benefits from a potential 150-million-stove program in India from 2010-2020 gives the largest co-benefit of any examined in the six papers. Smith has shown that providing low-emission stove technologies in poor countries that currently rely on solid fuel household stoves to cook and heat their homes is a very cost-effective climate change linkage. The 10-year program could prevent 2 million premature deaths in India, he said, in addition to reducing greenhouse pollution by hundreds of millions of tons.
A paper coauthored by Michael Jerrett of UC Berkeley contains analysis of 18 years of data on the long-term health effects of black carbon—the first study of its kind ever conducted. The study followed 352,000 people in 66 US cities and was conducted by a team of US and Canadian researchers led by Jerrett and Smith. Black carbon is a short-lived greenhouse pollutant which, along with ozone, is responsible for a significant proportion of global warming. Unlike CO2, these short-lived greenhouse pollutants exert significant direct impacts on health. Also, because they are short-lived, emission controls are almost immediately reflected in changes in warming.
Combustion-related air pollution is estimated to be responsible for nearly 2.5 million premature deaths annually around the world and also for a significant portion of greenhouse warming. These studies provide the kind of concrete information needed to choose actions that efficiently reduce this health burden as well as reduce the threat of climate change.—Kirk Smith
Funding for The Lancet Health and Climate Change series was provided by the NIEHS and UK partners including The Academy of Medical Sciences, UK Department of Health, Economic and Social Research Council, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, National Institute for Health Research, Royal College of Physicians, and Wellcome Trust. The air pollution study also had funding from the Health Effects Institute, California Air Resources Board and Clean Air Task Force.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Lancet Series Finds That Cutting Greenhouse Pollutants Will Have Major Direct Health Benefits Worldwide:
Drivel and Propanda.
Some of this makes sense. Namely the ozone creation bit. That isn't just greenhouse gasses, however, the urban heat island is at least half of that and plays as big (or bigger) a role in the ozone creation.
Particulates are interesting, since I don't see how greenhouse gases can act as any kind of deterrent to particulates. I would think they stay close to the ground thanks to Newton's Law.
Since particulates aren't the same as GHG, I would say that this study was done in order to get the "greenhouse gas" headline despite the fact that actual pollutants are the real worry here.
By throwing out the term "greenhouse gases," they automatically get the robot reporters to say "global warming" (or "climate change," a misappropriated science phrase) for them.
So, as Stan said... It's drivel and propaganda.
Good point Aaron. However, friends in academia tell me climate and enviro departments worldwide are scrambling to remove identification with GHG. Why? Because the writing is on the wall. And some decent scientists addicted to AGW grants - know their careers are over if the are seen as "collaborators" in the fraud.
Unfortunately there will be a purge. The corrupt and dishonest will pay dearly. The worst, Mann, Jones and others will be put on trial and punished. The sooner the corruption is fully exposed - the sooner the healing can begin.
... reduce the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) ...
OK, first step: STOP BREATHING, PEOPLE!!! All of you EVIL breathers are KILLING Mother Earth by releasing CO2. You MUST be stopped. Especially the LARGE carbon footprint ones such as Algore (what does he weigh now, 300 pounds?!?).
Step two: It must be ILLEGAL for all volcanoes to erupt. Those EVIL volcanoes are killing Mother Earth... oh... huh??? They **are** Mother Earth??? Oh, Mother Earth is killing herself by erupting. Mother Earth MUST be made illegal.
This is so wonderful!!! More government control over people's lives, drastically higher taxes, money for fake "research" predicting doom unless we have our taxes drastically increased and government taking control of our lives. Ahhh... what a paradise it will be.
Oh, and all of the dead trees and plants from a lack of CO2 - very nice!!!
Now lets get back to illegally hiding our data so that our most excellent "research" can not be verified. THE ARGUMENT IS OVER!!! Leave the data ALONE!!! You are NOT allowed to speak.
These studies point to the win-win outcomes from reducing carbon emissions. WRT India, by using cow manure bioreactors which produce methane, this can be used to power stoves in the kitchen. This dramatically reduces particulate emissions, which improves health, and also reduces the amount of methane released, which is a much worse greenhouse gas than CO2.
The other benefits of reducing emissions are endless, for example consumers in the western world would save money as they move to electrified transportation, and as mentioned, smog would be reduced leading to less health problems.
"The corrupt and dishonest will pay dearly."
Yes, Chevron will be dead in 10 years when everyone has switched over to EV's.
Will you ever change?
If not. the world will have unmanageable problems to solve.
Fortunately, you ill sooner or later change.
Aaron Turpen,
I would think they stay close to the ground thanks to Newton's Law.
Think again.
ever seen a red sunrise/ set?
Apologies if I don't have the language (or the patience) for this , With this level of short sightedness suggest you consult with stan(the Goracle) , sulleny and co and let us know what marvelous new understanding of how it all works.
Then report back say after lunch will be fine.
Combustion-related air pollution is estimated to be responsible for nearly 2.5 million premature deaths annually around the world and also for a significant portion of greenhouse warming.
Anyone who doesn't understand this and that smoke goes up a chimney is beyond help.
Combustion-related air pollution is estimated to be responsible for nearly 2.5 million premature deaths annually around the world...
No comparison to Socialism/Communism - combined, Socialism (remember the National Socialist Workers Party?!?) and Communism have killed hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The problem is not with people breathing, volcanoes erupting, or automobile engines running. The problem is with the people and governments who kill the "nonbelievers..." the "deniers."
Will you ever change?
Yes! I already have. At one time I was a fanatical Globalwarmist - much like many of you! Then I went in with an open mind and studied the Global Warming® "research." I found it to be completely lacking - fraudulent, in fact. Fortunately we now have emails, released by a whistleblower, that prove me correct. I understand that my statements are blasphemey but they must be heard. Open your minds and think about the issue. Don't simply repeat what the government(s), and government bought "research," tell you.
"No comparison to Socialism/Communism - combined, Socialism (remember the National Socialist Workers Party?!?) and Communism have killed hundreds of millions of people worldwide."
And of course there's a direct relationship between communism and charging your electric car in your garage for $25 a month.
"When it comes to his handling of Freedom of Information requests, Professor Jones might struggle even to use a technical defense. If you take the wording literally, in one case he appears to be suggesting that emails subject to a request be deleted, which means that he seems to be advocating potentially criminal activity. Even if no other message had been hacked, this would be sufficient to ensure his resignation as head of the unit.
George Monbiot, The Guardian 11/25/2009 Staunch Alarmist
Corruption in the bowels of climate change ranks - reveals a sickness far more alarming than green house gas.
LOL!!! MarkBC pulled a typical "climate scientist" trick on my statement. Cut the statement off and act like it is meant to stand alone. Thank you for once again demonstrating the need for Globalwarmists to twist data, statements, and facts.
Shame on you literate left.
Do you disclose your epiphany to the tax department?
What does "premature" death mean?
I agree that reducing atmospheric pollution can only be good for health, and that it can have nothing to do with GHG, but "premature" can mean anything.
What I want to know is: Does this pollution take away a month or 20 years of my expected lifetime?
Excellent article, even if it did jolt the bias confirmation of several deniers above. A small note - Solar cookers are considered premier items in India;
Looks like Will and the other marxists here are finding little to complain about now their climate scam has been outed. Bye bye "doc" Phil - thanks for absolutely nothing good. Please return to your decrepit home and tell your buds they're not welcome here.

Pregnant Anna Chlumsky Wants "Original" Baby Name, But Not Like This…
Veep star Anna Chlumsky — still best known to some as the adorable child star of My Girl — is expecting her first child, a girl, with husband Shaun So.
Anna, 32, told Us Weekly, "It's been a drama free pregnancy so far." Let's hope it lasts! Anna and Shaun are taking their time when it comes to a baby name. "I've got my thoughts, but we're going to meet her [first]," Anna said. "I have a shortlist and then when we meet her at the hospital, we'll see what is right. ... We like things to be original so you're not confusing your kid for some other person, but I'm not going to be naming it after a political movement or anything. It will be somewhat traditional, I think."
Original, but somewhat traditional. Hmm... So maybe like Jessica Simpson's daughter, Maxwell Drew? That's the kind of thing that might qualify. But probably not Holly Madison's Rainbow Aurora. Or maybe that's just what Anna means. We'll find out when the baby arrives!

Amid lots of speculation about what the future holds for Instagram under Facebook's ownership, the companies demonstrated what video clips will look like when captured through Instagram.
The event started at 10am PT and our live coverage of the event as it unfolded follows below. A few more details about the app can be found here, and we'll have much more coverage from the event later today.
And that's it, folks. A pretty short announcement, all things considered. We'll be demo-ing the app and following up with more coverage.
Systrom keeps emphasizing that this won't change Instagram very much — it's still the same app, he says.
Systrom is re-iterating that your photos and videos are your own — no plan to use them in advertisements.
Just realized the app is available for download, and tried out recording Systrom talking. Pretty easy to record and filter, just like the photo app.
"We want you to learn about this new concept called video for Instagram."
I've heard that's a major complaint with Vine — not being able to come back later and post your videos after the fact. But it sounds like that option could be coming down the road.
So no, right now you can't upload videos from the camera roll. You have to record them in the app.
"Right now we're perfectly happy with how businesses are engaging on Instagram, which is organically."
He's always said Instagram will become a business, and advertisers are using Instagram to reach their fans. "But on video, I don't think we designed it with any advertising in mind."
"This is really driven by consumer demand and not by business need," Systrom said.
"Our goal is to not introduce a complex editing interface."
First we get a good clarification — the entire clip is only 15 seconds. You can tap and hold to create shorter clips within that 15 seconds, but it's not any longer than that total.
Important question — can you upload video taken after the fact?
"Our hope is not very long at all," Systrom says of a question about how long videos will load. "But we have to set expectations. This is day one."
"It's that Goldilocks moment. It seems just right," Systrom says of the choice.
"I think it's an artistic choice. I don't think one is better than the other," Systrom says of six seconds versus 15.
"It was a big undertaking, but we don't expect it to be an issue," Systrom says of the infrastructure challenges.
Systrom is still on stage taking questions.
Now we're heading into Q&A.
Whether or not my videos and your videos will look that cool, we'll have to wait and try the app to see.
"Introducing Video on Instagram," it ends.
It's very clever — all the same images we saw before the announcement, that showed why Instagram is great, are now moving and turning into videos.
Now we're looking at some pretty goregous shots of people walking around SF, playing with pugs and babies, etc.
Now we're going to watch a video they compiled from footage from users.
"I'm really proud of this team," Systrom says. He does seem excited.
This makes sense — it's like the video version of the photo effect that makes your photos "pop."
So the effect kind of slows down the video and makes it easier to watch. Pretty amazing.
"We created something really awesome. We call it Cinema. Cinematic stabilization for your videos that will change video forever."
A lot of video looks kinda shaky and wobbly, he says, pointing to a shaky photo of a cute kid on a bike.
But wait — something more, Systrom says.
That's important — Android users were huge for growing Instagram to where it is today. Getting the new app to everyone is important.
And on day one, Android users will get it too.
13 custom-designed filters "to make your videos gorgeous," Systrom notes.
"We've worked a ton on making it fast, simple, and beautiful."
The filters definitely make the videos look better than Vine videos — kind of the same effect as they have on photos.
So the feed looks pretty much identical as before, except some of the photos move.
"I want to talk with you about a problem in mobile video." He is not talking about internet speeds, but rather the problem of the first frame not always being that exciting.
So pretty much the exact same workflow as Instagram for photos. Only difference is that you're recording clips instead of photos.
Once you've recorded your clips, you hit next and select video-specific filters.
This could be a problem for serving up video quickly. Multiple 15 second videos could take a veryy long time to load on a bad connection.
So you can record multiple 15 second clips at the bottom, if you can't fit everything into one clip.
It's not too short, to constrain your creativity, Systrom says. "But not all the time can you fit a single scene into 15 seconds."
The magic number? 15 seconds.
Tap the video icon, and you go into video mode. Tap the icon to record video.
It looks exactly like the current app, with the same caputure screen but now a video icon in the bottom right.
We're about to get a demo.
So perhaps we'll see filters for your video to distinguish from Vine? Sounds like the aesthetics are the emphasis here.
"It wouldn't be Instagram without being beautiful. It woudln't be Instagram without allowing you to create beautiful content."
It's hard to edit video and manage it and upload, he says. Yep, video can be tough.
130 million people day one will have access to video the way they have access to pictures, Systrom says. That's huge, that they're not rollling out yet another FB app.
"I'd like to introduce video on Instagram."
It was really hard to do that. But today, that changes.
"We left video on the side. Why did we do that? Because the three things we cared about were speed, simplicity, and beauty."
Ah, now we're hearing the much-documented story of how Systrom and Krieger built Instagram out of their former app called Burbn.
"I'm going to tell you a story. Of September 2010."
"Now we should discuss where we're going."
That's up from 100 million just a few months ago, and it's important to note that's active users, not just registered folks.
130 million people use Instagram every month.
They get 1 billion likes (or hearts, or double-taps) every day.
That's a lot of brunch pics.
He's going to tell us some stats on how far Instagram has come. 16 billion photos shared.
Now he's rolling through a screen showing us people's different Instagrams — a cute pug, a baby, someone skydiving.
I spy a theme there…
"Instagram is a way to stay connected," he says. "Instagram keeps us connected."
There are moments that we know we'll never get back that we capture through Instagram.
It's all about moments, he says.
It's a tough question, not because it's not discoverable, not because it's intangible, but because it depends who is asking, he says.
A lot of people ask him, what is Instagram, he asks.
Now we have Instagram co-founder and CEO Kevin Systrom on stage.
"Kevin and Mike are now some of the most influential leaders across all of Facebook."
They were doing photography in a way that was really unique to mobile devices. The team is now triple the size of before.
A little more than a year ago, we asked them to join us, he says.
"Today, we're going to focus on Instagram."
We share in all sorts of ways, he says, from the Facebook Pages to apps like Instagram.
As our mobile strategy has evolved, we've been developing a variety of types of apps.
Surprise, he wants to make the world more connected! Sharing is a powerful thing, he tells us.
"It's a big idea that a small team is working on."
And Mark is on stage.
We should be starting in just a few minutes, we hear.
I can put my feet on Facebook's coffee table, right?
Not a huge crowd so far — certainly not as big as the group that was here for the Android announcement, which makes sense.
Hey guys! We're here at FB getting set up. Nothing's started yet.

Fragment of the Feet and Base of a Statue
The kneeling statue type, which gained popularity from the New Kingdom onward, illustrates a new development in religious practices. At this time nonroyal individuals began to be represented kneeling and holding a divine image. The inscription identifies Hermopolis as the location of the temple where this statue was likely set up. The break in this fragment encourages closer examination of the sculptor's attention to the realistic rendering of each toe and the arch of the foot.

Perez Hilton to Guest Star on Glee! Details on His Season 3 Role — With Lindsay Lohan!
When we spoke exclusively celeb blogger Perez Hilton at his 34th birthday bash a few weeks ago, the self-professed Glee fan told us he would love to one day appear on the show as a guest star. Well, you can consider this Perez Hilton's lucky day, because his dream Glee guest spot has totally became a reality.
Sources confirm to E! Online that Perez will appear alongside Lindsay Lohan as one of the judges in Glee's Season 3, Episode 21 Nationals episode on May 15. Rounding out the sure-to-be-hilarious judging trio is Rex Lee, of Suburgatory and Entourage fame.
It's already been confirmed that Lindsay will be playing a "heightened" version of herself, but there is no word yet if Perez and Rex will play themselves — or if they'll opt to go the route of Kathy Griffin back in Season 2 Regionals and play some sort of eccentric fictional character.
E! also reports new details on what to expect from Lindsay in her "meaty" role — which is set to begin filming as soon as this week. There's plenty of comedy in store, as Lindsay the Nationals Judge gets a bit upset after learning she won't be sitting in one of those big red spinning chairs like on The Voice.
She also gets a "long speech" that will let her talk about young performers, how hard they work, and how much she supports the arts. See? Total Lindsay Lohan comeback material.
A source on the show tells E! that "It's great stuff for her," and assures them that "she's been very nice to everyone." Aww.
Still, we can't help but wonder: Does "everyone" include her fellow judge Perez Hilton? Because after some of the things he's written about her over the years, we might not find it so easy to turn the other cheek!

Pompton Plains, NJ (PRWEB) January 30, 2014
Brain games developer Acuity Games is pleased to announce the creation of Acuity Games:Total Recall, the 11th game in their growing line-up of brain health assessment-based brain games.
Total Recall was inspired by the MMSE (mini mental-state examination) question that requires patients to repeat a list of three objects and recall them later. Total Recall allows players to choose: the objects categories to recall, the number of objects to recall, and the length of time prior to recalling the objects.
"The biggest problem with the MMSE is that is given too late, usually when there is a potential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease," said Dan Hansen, founder of Acuity Games. "We need to start measuring our brain health much earlier, when we can take effective action to prevent Alzheimer's and other dementias."
"To prevent the expected tripling of dementia cases by 2050 we need to begin improving our brain health now, and the best way to improve is to measure," he concluded.
Total Recall, like all Acuity Games apps, provides revolutionary brain health assessment that can help improve the brain health results of lifestyle choices, helping to prevent dementia. Acuity Games: Total Recall will be available on Apple's iTunes App Store as a free download with minor feature limitations that can be removed via a $0.99 in-app purchase. The game is scheduled for release in mid-February.

Located in Mobile, AL (Semmes, Eight Mile area)
Very large area behind Blount High School. There is a trail that crosses Gainer
Rd. that goes all the way to Hwy 45 and as far north and Hwy 158. I do not know who owns this land but I've rode it many times and had no one complain, also many more atv's and dirt bikes. There is not organization.
If your willing to drive an hour then check out Red Creek, Bethel trails over in Jackson county. Bethel trails is about 24 miles long one way. They also have a enduro trail that's 16 miles long. All are worth the drive... Let me know if you need help with more info.--Todd ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bethel ATV Trail-Located near Wiggins, MS

Go south on Mcdonald Rd from I-10 (Exit 10), take the first road on the left (dirt road) County Farm Rd, go almost a mile down the dirt rd and there will be a small drive on the left, that is where the track is. The guy that owns the track also runs a dirt pit out of the same place, sometimes he will shut down the track to excavate dirt then rebuild the track. If the track is down he will still let you park and ride the trails, just got to stay out of the dirt pit. Usually if the track is down he don't charge to park, if the track is operational I think its $10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boggs and Boulders -Located in Brooklyn, AL
