Beeks strong in series opening win
Posted: February 21, 2014 at 2:30 p.m.
FAYETTEVILLE Dave Van Horn said earlier this week he would like Jalen Beeks in Arkansas' bullpen, but the junior left-hander is making the most of his time in the Razorbacks' most coveted pitching position.
Beeks threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings Friday in No. 25 Arkansas' 6-2 win over Eastern Illinois at Baum Stadium. Beeks, who has thrown 11 2/3 scoreless innings in a pair of series openers this season, struck out five batters in his second start and showed poise in a tight fifth inning.
"He is a pretty good pitcher," Van Horn said. "I like him at the beginning and the end. He was the big story of today, obviously. He gave us five strong innings. I think he kind of ran out of gas there in the sixth; kind of got up in there in the pitch count and we took him out."
Eastern Illinois' Frankie Perrone led off the fifth with a double and advanced to third base with one out. But Beeks threw out Perrone at home plate on a bunt back to the mound for the second out and got lead-off batter Mitch Gasbarro to ground out with the bases loaded to end the top of the inning.
"All I was trying to do in that fifth inning was throw strikes," Beeks said. "I could feel myself getting a little bit fatigued and usually that's not the case. I've really never been fatigued, but I'm still getting into shape. Next time I'll do better."
Arkansas (4-0) gave its starting pitcher all the runs he would need in the bottom of the second inning. Clark Eagan led off the inning with a walk and scored on a RBI double by Andrew Benintendi to give the Razorbacks the lead. Bobby Wernes scored later in the inning on a fielder's choice RBI by Brian Anderson.
Benintendi, a freshman, doubled twice for his first career hits. He scored on a Tyler Spoon RBI double for the first of three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.
"I think I was a little to excited playing in front of a lot of people (last week)," said Benintendi, who didn't record a hit despite reaching base seven times in the opening series. "I think I was a little jumpy and that was the difference between today and last week. It's good to get it over with."
Anderson scored on a wild pitch by relief pitcher Ben Kennedy and Spoon scored on a sacrifice fly by Eric Fisher to extend the Razorbacks' lead to 6-0. Fisher had scored in the third inning on a double steal, knocking the ball out of catcher Jacob Reese's glove on a feet first slide.
Arkansas chased Eastern Illinois starter Jake Johansmeier in the fifth inning. Johansmeier, the reigning Ohio Valley Conference pitcher of the week, threw 4 1/3 innings, allowing five earned runs on four hits for the Panthers (1-4).
"I don't think their guy had his best stuff," Van Horn said. "He was leaving that breaking ball up. But we didn't do a whole lot with him. We hit a couple or three balls hard but they were at people. Thank goodness we put together a couple or three innings because we didn't play real good."
The Razorbacks had only four hits in the game and none after the fifth inning. Arkansas was hit by three pitches Friday, bringing their season total to 15.
"Fifteen already after four games is surprising," Van Horn said. "You can't predict that. We're just doing a good job of holding our ground in there and getting on base."
Landon Simpson pitched 2 1/3 innings for the Razorbacks, allowing one hit and issuing one walk. Making his first career appearance, junior college transfer Lance Phillips gave up a two-run double to Trey Russell in the ninth inning to lose the shutout for the Razorbacks.
Arkansas and Eastern Illinois will play again Saturday at 1:05 p.m.

Separation AnxietyPosted by: Teja
Category: Behavior Problems
Posted on: November 22, 2002 at 09:28:08
Our JRT male is 6 months old. He is a very good puppy when we are at home, but when he is alone every day as we leave for work, he is still urinating. Is it possible that he can`t hold for so long (he is alone for about 6 hours) or is this separation anxiety? We noticed that he isn`t sleeping at all when he is home alone. His bad is a mess and usually on the other side of the kitchen and sometimes he is urinating on his bad. When we come home, he is so tired that he is amediately asleep. We leave him his toys and a bone for chewing, but he doesn`t touch them until we come home - then he pick up the bone and starts to chew. We don`t make any fuss when we leave and when we come home and we also turn the radio on for him but nothing seems to work - he still doesn`t calm down - he jumps on the table and other kitchen elements and runs all over the kitchen. At the bigining we tried with crating, but it didn´t work - he was histerical!! Things are getting better, because before he was also defecating but now he doesn`t do that anymore. So maybe is not as bad as it seems, but anyway please tell me if we should be worried.
Thanks and best wishes,

LOS ANGELES Apple said Tuesday that hackers obtained nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other female celebrities by pilfering images from individual accounts rather than through a broader attack on the companys services.
Meanwhile, numerous sharing sites removed images of the stars apparently in response to copyright complaints.
However, experts say there is no way to fully scrub the photos from the Internet and the images could keep popping up in the future, forcing celebrities to file repeated complaints as they play a cyber-version of the arcade game whack-a-mole.
Apple said its engineers have determined that hackers breached individual accounts and didnt obtain general access to a pair of the companys services iCloud and Find my iPhone. The tech giant said it released the results after conducting 40 hours of investigation.
Law enforcement inquiries likely will take days or weeks to complete.
The FBI offered no details on its efforts to identify people responsible for stealing the images that were posted on image-sharing site Imgur.com, the social networking sites Reddit and Twitter, and other websites. But the agency said Monday it was aware of the breach and is addressing the matter.
Similar investigations have involved the use of search warrants and digital forensics to determine how hackers obtained everything from Paris Hiltons contact list to nude photos of actresses Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis.
Lawrence, an Oscar winner for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, contacted authorities after the images of her began appearing Sunday.
By Tuesday, a Reddit thread that had been compiling links to images of nude photos of Lawrence and other celebrities had been disabled due to a copyright claim, the website said.
Users reported difficulty finding working links to the images on other sites.
Representatives of Twitter, Reddit and Imgur did not respond to messages seeking comment.
Apple Inc. said it was cooperating with the FBI and urged users to adopt stronger passwords and enable a two-step authentication feature to prevent data thefts.
Naked images purported to be of other stars also were posted, although the authenticity of many couldnt be confirmed.
Mark Rasch, a former federal prosecutor who specialized in computer crimes, said investigators will focus on whos responsible for the theft of the photos, the tools they used, and the idiosyncrasies of how they program.
There is a digital trail, Rasch said. What you hope for (is) the people arent very good at what they do, that they screw up, that they (upset) other hackers. Or that they leave a trail.
Rasch said authorities will sometimes catch an early break or get a tip that leads them to suspects. The investigations are difficult, he said, but Its equally difficult to get away with it scot free.
In the past decade, federal prosecutors have successfully prosecuted a Massachusetts teenager who hacked Hiltons phone account and posted her contact list online. The teenager was sentenced to several months in jail.
Christopher Chaney, a Florida man, was ordered by a federal judge in 2012 to be imprisoned for 10 years for the hack that targeted Johansson.
The people responsible for stealing the Lawrence photos might also be tracked by private investigators who can operate faster than government agents, said Rasch, whose company Rasch Technology and Cyberlaw has conducted similar investigations but is not working on the current data breach.
Even if you can get it taken down, its likely to pop up somewhere else, said F. Jay Dougherty, a law professor at Loyola Law School Los Angeles who specializes in entertainment and intellectual property issues.
Mickey Osterreicher, a media lawyer and general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, said a successful copyright complaint could scrub the images from a site forever, but Lawrence and other celebrities will have to remain vigilant and keep filing takedown notices.
You have to go to each place, he said. Its kind of like playing whack-a-mole.

Beyonce teases fan at Mrs. Carter Show: 'Put that camera down'
Beyonce got up close and personal with her fans during the Atlanta stop on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, and one person definitely wasn't expecting it.
As Beyonce began singing her hit "Irreplaceable," she gave concert goers around her an opportunity to chime in on the song and all was well, until she put the microphone in front of a fan who was too busy recording the show on his phone.
After messing up the lyrics, Beyonce jokingly chastises the fan, "See, you can't even sing because you're too busy taping." She continues, "I'm right in your face baby, you gotta seize this moment baby! Put that d*** camera down!"
Beyonce was nice enough to give him one more chance at the lyrics, and the fan knocked it out of the park the second time around. Let this serve as a lesson to those of you who can't put your cell phones away at concerts.
Check out video of the fan's moment in the sun below:

Nearly three years after the beginning of the first Anna Hazare-led "India Against Corruption" campaign and after the initial successes of the Aam Aadmi Party, one might have thought that parties would have got the message when it came to selecting their candidates. Corruption and scams were an important factor behind the Congress's fall, but has the Lok Sabha got cleaner in the process?
The only source we have at our disposal to assess the criminal profile of politicians is the candidates' affidavits, published by the Election Commission of India and made actually readable and usable by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR). This data is considered reliable because it can be verified against judicial records, unlike the data on the candidates' assets, which are self-declared and liable to blatant under-evaluation.
According to these sources, 187 sitting MPs face criminal charges (34.4 per cent) and, among them, 113 MPs face serious criminal charges (20.8 per cent), serious charges being loosely defined as violent crimes against individuals or groups. If we look at the candidates of the main parties as a whole excluding independents and local party candidates, 849 candidates out of 3,293 (25.8 per cent) have criminal cases against them, and among them, 535 (16.2 per cent) have serious cases against them.
The BJP is ahead of the Congress in terms of tainted candidates (33 per cent against 27.7 per cent); candidates with serious charges (20.8 per cent against 13 per cent); and the ratio of tainted MPs (35 per cent against 18 per cent). For the Lok Sabha MPs in general, this represents an increase of 4.4 per cent and 6.8 per cent respectively, compared to 2009.
However, we would like to argue that these numbers misrepresent the issue. Efforts to make public life more transparent, and therefore more accountable, are commendable and necessary. But the method that consists of aggregating crime data and producing a single headline figure, aimed at building the perception of the political class as being highly criminalised, is misleading on several counts. The simple aggregation of criminal charges blurs the variation in the nature of crimes and creates a generic indistinctive criminal profile.
Second, it ignores the …continued »

A FARMER called Mr Harmer owns land on the South Downs, a range of rolling hills along Britain's southeast coastline. This year, he decided to clear scrub and trees that had grown up on part of his land. The government's nature conservation experts approved; ecologists value traditional downland for its distinctive chalky grassland flora, not for trees. But local people were shocked, and successfully campaigned for a stay of execution. Why? What makes people the world over feel so strongly about trees?

Dana Holgorsen News Conference
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University football coach Dana Holgorsen addressed members of the media today in a press conference.
Opening statement
I can't tell you how excited our team is to play Maryland this week. We got going on Sunday and immediately put the Georgia State game to rest. It's something our boys are looking forward to. We don't have many regional rivalries left- this is the only one that we play this year. I look forward to meeting more in the future.
Our guys are familiar with Maryland, and we're excited to play them. They're a different team than they were the last couple years. You can see offensively that it's a different unit with (senior quarterback) C.J. Brown. He's had a good year so far and brings balance to the offense. He's very athletic and has athletic guys around him. They want to be balanced in the run and the pass. They have two good running backs in (sophomores) Albert Reid and Brandon Ross. They have tremendous play potential and it will be a huge challenge for our defense to stop those guys.
Coach (Randy) Edsall emphasizes defense. They stopped us last year. They got a lot of new bodies from last year, but they did a tremendous job stopping us last time. It wasn't one of our better performances of last season. We struggled to get first downs and score. It's the same scheme. They've got depth and players who started a lot of games last year.
It will be a challenge for us because of what they do schematically. They know our offense very well. We have to contain their returners. They have good overall team speed which is very beneficial to special teams. When you have a return guy who is as good as anyone in the country, it's going to be problematic.
The guys are excited about going to Baltimore. It's important to our administration, and it's important to our fan base. It's important to our kids and recruiting. I'm looking forward to playing at Ravens Stadium (M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md.) in front of a good crowd and a good atmosphere. It will be good for WVU and Maryland.
On Brod rick Jenkins
Brodrick is no longer with the team. We're excited about (redshirt-sophomore cornerback) Terrell (Chestnut). His knee has been healing. We've wanted to get him more involved. (Redshirt-sophomore cornerback) Avery Williams is also going to get some reps this week at corner. (Freshman cornerback) Daryl Worley played a good bit last week and has got tremendous upside potential as a starting corner. With (sophomore safety) K.J. Dillon, we've moved him to the nickel spot. That opens up back up spots at both corner spots. Let's see how those guys do this week, and we'll continue to get Daryl in as much as possible.
On the corner position
We haven't seen the throwing threat that we're going to see this week. They've got big play potential. Look at (sophomore wide receiver Stefon) Diggs, who has 400 yards in three games and three touchdowns, and (redshirt-junior wide receiver Deon) Long who's got almost 200 yards and a touchdown - this will be a different challenge for us. I'm excited to see how our guys react to it.
Keith (Patterson) has done a great job. Coaches (Tony) Gibson and (Brian) Mitchell have done a great job. Technically, the scheme is the same as last year and they've been playing pretty well, but they haven't been challenges like they'll be challenged this week.
On injuries
(Senior linebacker Doug) Rigg and K.J. Dillon will be back this week. They're cleared, so we'll see how they'll practice. They will practice today. (Sophomore defensive lineman) Christian Brown had a minor leg injury and will be back today. He has been cleared. (Sophomore fullback) Garrett Hope had a concussion last week. He has been cleared and will be available. Everybody is available. (Redshirt- freshman offensive lineman) Adam Pankey is getting close to being available. He's been elevated to green jersey and it's going to take some time for him to get back in the swing of things, but he's going to start practicing. No one is ruled out other than the surgery guys.
(Freshman offensive lineman) Tyler Tezeno had surgery on his knee. He was redshirting this year anyway. It will be a six-month rehab process. Tyler, (redshirt-senior linebacker) Dozie Ezemma, (sophomore cornerback) Nana (Kyeremeh) and (junior linebacker) Shaq (Petteway) are the only four out for the year. Everybody else is going to practice. This is as healthy as we've been.
On Stefon Diggs
Tavon (Austin) and Diggs are pretty similar. They're both from Baltimore and receivers and returners. He's proven to have big play potential. He's probably a little better at downfield play than Tavon. Tavon didn't have just the downfield potential. His thing was to get the ball and go score.
On playing at M&T Bank Stadium
It's easier. The facilities are good and it's not a 100 percent home crowd. It's much like the Big East was. When you went to Pitt, West Virginia had a lot of people. When I went to South Florida, there were a bunch of West Virginia people. Facility wise, we know it's going to be great. We know that from last year at Fed Ex Field. Our guys get jacked up about that. It's a big stage. Much like Mountaineer Field is, the other nine opponents in the Big 12 have 95 percent fans from their own team. I don't view this as an away game, it's more like a neutral site game. I know it is a home game for Maryland, but I feel like we'll travel pretty well and there will be some Mountaineer energy there.
On (redshirt-junior linebacker) Jewone Snow
The last two weeks, he's been functional on the scout team. We're going to give him some opportunity to play on some special teams and see how he reacts.
On Daryl Worley
He would start as cornerback if (redshirt- junior cornerbacks) Ishmael Banks and (Travis) Bell weren't doing well. They've been playing well. They haven't been as challenged as they're going to be this week.
He's the next guy in, yes, and he looks good. He brings energy and does some things out there athletically that I don't see happening very often. He's got loads of potential. Could he be an every down player? Yes. Whether it happens this year or next year, he will be one. He will be a tremendous corner for us.
We'd like to get K.J. Dillon back in to play nickel if Worley would make that transition. Having them both on the field would bring a tremendous amount of athleticism to our team at those spots.
I probably shouldn't compliment anybody. I say that jokingly, but Daryl has been playing well. He was out special teams guy one week. We made reference to him because he's extremely attentive. He asks questions, he listens well and he's eager to get into the game.
I don't think our energy was great last week. I thought our sidelines were dead. I didn't see any passion for the game. I do anticipate that will be fixed this week.
On (redshirt-freshman quarterback) Ford Childress
He needs to improve on sense of urgency. He's night and day better right now than he was a year ago. That said, his sense of urgency needs to pick up because the speed of the game is going to increase. Maryland has great team speed. He needs to make reads quicker and his footwork and release need to be quicker. That's just experience. You can't duplicate game experience. We put him in a lot of different situations, but that game was different from what he'd ever done. This week will be different from what he's ever done.
He was better at reading than I anticipated. He did a tremendous job of selling run. Being able to run the ball puts us in a better spot when it comes to play action. He underthrew a couple of them, or it would've been even better. They were playing down. They were doing their best to stop the run. Ford did a good job of selling that and putting the ball out there to where we could take advantage of it.
I would assume Maryland will do the same thing. They do a good job of stopping the run. Whether or not they have to get their safeties involved, I hope they do. We need to be able to run the ball and play action it and make plays down the field.
I think Ford having the ability to see over the line is important. He's 6-foot-5. He has the ability to look over the line and downfield and see where the guys are at. I just want the ball to go from point A to point B effectively. He could improve on that, but his action was good.
On Maryland's defense
They're going to pressure. One of the things we didn't do well last week was identifying the zero blitz. We need enough time to get rid of the ball. They did it six times, got to us twice and hit us twice, and we did the right thing twice. That's not good enough. Maryland will zero blitz us and pressure us. They might do it every single snap. If they do, we have to handle it. They played back against Old Dominion because they don't run the ball. I think we've shown that we can run the ball and I think they'll play up.
On (redshirt-senior offensive lineman) Pat Eger
It's not tough for him to read the defense. He can handle it more than anybody. It's just an overall communication issue with coaches and players. We identified some things that we need to change, and we have and will continue to improve this week.
On the run game
We're doing it more effectively. There were times last year that we were running the ball 50 percent of the time. If we had this rushing impact throughout the hard part of our schedule last year, things might have turned out a little bit different. We're happy with that and will keep working hard at that. We've got tremendous confidence in our backs and their ability to break tackles, and the o-line can get some push.
On the WVU receivers
I'm not happy with them yet. I specifically said 'I'm going to start these three guys because they show big play potential.1'
Did we see that out of those three guys? Not out of all of them, so that's why I said I'm going to start getting (redshirt-sophomore) KJ (Myers), (freshman) Daikiel (Shorts) and (senior) Ivan (McCartney) in there more. I'm proud of them. KJ came in and was Mr. Consistency. They're all going to play. How much they play will depend of efficiency and productivity on the field.
On the WVU defense
We haven't faced the passing attempt like this yet. Do we feel better about where we are defensively? Yes, absolutely. Do we have it all figured out? No. Maryland is going to bring some bigger challenges. They have the ability. Oklahoma State and Baylor, our next two opponents, are also going to have a lot of ability. So this will be the game where we see where we are at.

Sam Hofman's exquisite photographs enhance the natural beauty of objects
Sometimes we come across people whose work we've been staring at for years and didn't even realise. Sam Hofman has produced a huge amount of photographic work that we're incredibly familiar with but up until the other day we didn't know his name. You see the Gloucester-born photographer has been busy over the past few years making a name for himself photographing for the likes of Wallpaper, AnOther, Wired and FT Magazine alongside shoots for It's Nice That favourites Kyle Bean and Owen Gildersleeve. Impressive stuff!
But it wasn't until recently that we became aware of Sam's personal work – images of beautiful simplicity that place single objects in the limelight and frame their natural beauty. One of his finest series focuses on a bare peach stone, exploiting its subtle natural colours and revealing complexity in an object we'd usually discard and think nothing of. We're hoping Sam persists with his personal collection as it's undoubtedly good enough to be well-known in its own right.

Question: after using bpexpdate to expire images
what do I type next to remove those deleted images from my data domain? because i don't see a change in more free space :0(
I know it's something like >./bpexpdate -m <mediaid> -force and also >./bpimage -cleanup -allclients
but how do i get the media id portion information to input in the command line?
Thanks again for your help!

once images has been expired form the netbackup with bpexpdate command.
data domain needs to run the file system clean to reclime the space., generally its scheudle and run as per the schedule ,, if you want to get it done immediatly run the cleaning manually.
filesys show space --> to see the avaliable space in DD
filesys clean start --> to start the cleaning in DD
filesys clean watch --> to see the cleaning status.
once the cleaning process has been compleated you can see the increase in avaliable space.
do remember excessive cleanig on DD is not recommented.

The Legal Representative of ex-President Charles Taylor in Liberia, Counselor Julius Sayma Syrenius Cephus has quoted the Justice Ministry here as saying that it was not contacted before petitioning the Supreme Court of Liberia for Taylor's benefits.
As the result, the ministry has urged both parties to meet for out-of court discussions. On 17 January 2013, Cllr. Cephus field an 18-count joint petition before the high court for a writ of mandamus to compel the government to pay US$231,429.99 as total annuities (benefits) to ex-president Taylor's wife, Victoria B. Addison Taylor covering 111 calendar months, and US$114,583.32 for Liberia's former Vice President John D. Gray representing 110 calendar months, respectively.
But in a phone interview with this paper Wednesday morning, Cllr. Cephus said though the Justice Ministry sees the petitioners' action as legitimate on grounds that past presidents were entitled to annuities, not every matter needed to be taken to court.
"The ministry said not everything needs to go to court; past presidents need to get their benefits. So our issue is legitimate. But for us, we want to stay out of the press..." said Cllr. Cehpus.
However, efforts to obtain comment from Justice Minister Christina Tah failed, as she could not answer her phone after an office staff, only identifying herself as Ms. Johnson earlier, said the minister was in a meeting and would later get back to the caller (the New Dawn-Liberia) .
Consistent with Section 1.4 of an act enacted by Legislators on July 6, 1978, Taylor and Gray are pleading for the Supreme Court to grant them the necessary relief by compelling the current government to pay to them 50% each of the salary of the president and vice president per annum respectively, on grounds that they were honorably retired since 2003 to private life, and were not in the employ of government.
Quoting Section 1.4 of the act entitled "An Act to provide for retirement pension of the President, Vice President, Speaker, Chief Justice of the Republic of Liberia," Taylor's lawyers argued, among others, that a former president who has honorably retired to private life and who is not in any way gainfully employed by the government shall receive from the government a pension equal to fifty percent (50%) of the salary of the president."
The act further mandates that the sitting government provides personal staff and facilities for the remainder of the ex-president or vice president's life at a cost not less than US$25,000.00 per annum for the ex-president and an allowance not less than US$12,500 per annum for the ex-vice president, respectively.
But both petitioners had accused the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf administration of sporting with their lives and rights by adopting "a pick and choose" biasness and "selective" payments of retirement benefits "as demonstrably shown in its settlement of retirements benefits of former President Samuel Kanyon Doe to his wife, Nancy B. Doe.
Ex-president Taylor is currently being held in The Hague and expected to face a 50 year prison sentence for aiding and abetting war crimes against humanity in neighboring Sierra Leone after he was convicted in April last year by the Special Court for Sierra Leone in the Hague. An appeal process initiated by Taylor is ongoing.
Under pressure from various rebel factions and 'international powers', Ex-President Charles Taylor was forced to resign the Liberian Presidency on August 11, 2003.
Following the departure of Ex-President Taylor to Calabar, Nigeria in 2003, Liberia's Vice President Moses Z. Blah ascended to the office of the president on Constitutional ground; thereby bringing onboard John D. Gray as Vice President from August 11, to October 14, 2003.
Vice President Gray, along with Blah also retired in 2003 upon the inception of the National Transitional Government of Liberia, NTGL headed by Chairman Charles Gyude Bryant on October 14, 2003.

The Kardashians
Will We See Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Baby On TV?
Now this is a real shocker: Kim Kardashian, the most famous face of the most famous reality television family, won't let her baby with Kanye West be on TV!
Kim and sister Kourtney (whose children Mason and Penelope have been on Kardashian shows from birth, literally) talked babies on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which is where she dropped the big news: "Our baby is not going to be on our show."
Never? "When the baby's old enough, and...he or she decides that's what they want to do, then that'll be a decision," she said.
This baby won't even be born until July, so he or she probably won't be making any big career decisions for quite some time. Sorry Kimye fans — it looks like you're out of luck.
"From the start, as of now, that's just a personal choice that Kanye and I have made...We're going to try to keep it as private as possible." Guess we'll just have to wait to see this tyke in action. Sigh.

Another Day
So my parents keep trying to dominate my life. The most recent thing is what i wear, which really pisses me off cus they get rid of all but one of my t shirts. Aside from that the one im most worried about is me schedule for my classes next year. I have so far:
1) Ap literature and compostiton
2) Ap calculus
3) Ap world history
4) Advanced physics
5) computer programming
6) intro to and applied metals
7) health, and 3D solid modeling
The only ones im worried about are AP calc and AP lit and comp. AP calc i want to take because i want to be an engineer, but AP literature and composition... i suck at literature and english... Ive never taken an honors english class and this year everyone who hasnt taken and honors english class before has dropped out. And everyone but one kid who was taking AP calc and AP lit and comp have dropped out of one of the classes. I dont want to fuck up my 3.7 gpa cus my parents are so fucking controlling. I tried talking to my high school counselor and all she said to do was talk to my parents. WTF does she think ive been doing?! Obviously it hasnt done shit. So im going to be grounded all next year from bad grades and im not going to be able to get into Rolla. Thanks mom and dad.
It'll be over soon.... parents are controlling for a reason... most of the time you won't figure out why until you're older...and then you'll do the same thing to your kids.
It not their job to be your friend. It is their job to be a parent. Trust me, it's not that easy on the parents side either. But at least you can grow up and move out.
We all have to deal with lots of the same rules when we get a job... can't wear shirts that say anything. no tanks, no shorts blah blah blah... some things aren't going to change.

THE CANE TOAD is spreading throughout eastern and northern Australia at a rate of 35 kilometres a year. The toad, which was introduced to Australia 50 years ago in an attempt to eradicate a beetle that was destroying sugar cane, is poisonous to most animals that eat it.
But biologists are divided on how great a threat the toad poses to native wildlife. It has been known to kill crocodiles, koalas, the quoll (a small carnivorous marsupial), goannas, lizards and snakes. However, most of the evidence is anecdotal rather than based on a controlled scientific study.
According to researchers, the range of the toad, already within 150 kilometres of Cape York, Australia's northernmost tip, will extend eventually from Darwin in the Northern Territory, across Queensland, to as far south as Sydney. It may even go further south if the greenhouse effect causes greater rainfall and warmer temperatures below Sydney as ...

The garden walkways in my garden are for the most part old sod from a lawn that used to exist in that area. About every 4 weeks or so during the growing season, I take the weed whacker through the garden walkways and knock down the growth of grass and weeds. The cut is extremely close to the ground, in fact I purposefully attempt to basically scalp the walkway soil to discourage and/or rapidly slow down the regrowth of vegetation. It's not just a matter of aesthetics that I do this. It certainly does make the garden look nicer to keep it trim and neat, but it is also an important pest management strategy to keep the vegetation knocked down. In particular, slugs love to shelter in the tall grass next to the bed edging during the day - only to come out in the evening and eat all the plants in the garden beds. Keeping their hideaways minimal helps keep their population in check. Today's primary garden task was to do the first walkway weed whacking of the year. The growth was pretty lush as you can see from this picture.
And here it is after I had been through the garden with the weed whacker.
Big difference in how the garden looks from just this one simple chore. It takes about a two hour commitment of time to do this from beginning to end because I have to make sure everything in the garden is prepared ahead of time (raising netting, removing debris, etc) and I take frequent breaks to spare my back and arm from repetitive stress problems.
I had hoped to get to the cleaning of the greenhouse panels today too, but decided to do that another day. Wanted to relax and enjoy the glorious sunshine filled day instead!
Thought I would give you a pictorial update on how things are "growing" in the garden. Here's an overview picture of the garden, looking at it from the vantage point of our deck that wraps around 2/3rds of our house.
The tomato bed is thriving despite the distinctly cold weather we had mid to late last week. The grow tunnel and red plastic is catching and holding a tremendous amount of heat. I have to open up the ends on sunny/warm days to keep some cross ventilation going, but during the cool overcast days I just leave it buttoned up. Here's a look down the tunnel from one end.
The first two plants are "Stupice" (pronounced "stew peach ka") which are the earliest producers of the several varieties I am growing this year. If you look carefully at the picture you will notice that both of these plants have blossoms on them. With extra care and attention, it is possible that they will produce the first ripe fruit by mid June.
The onions and garlic bed is doing very well with the exception of the shallots that seem to have gaps in the bed where the plants did not make it through the winter. This happened last year with the shallots as well. I doubt I will continue to keep growing them because I cannot afford to underutilize growing beds like this and as much as I like to use them in cooking - a good onion will do just as nicely and produce better for me to boot. So I will probably just use this crop up and not reserve any bulbs for planting out this fall. Here's a picture of the main allium bed (sweet onions, elephant garlic, multiplier onions, regular garlic, and shallots) and a picture of the storage onions ("Copra") planted in another section of the garden.
The broccoli, cabbages, and kohlrabi are all progressing nicely too. The first crop of broccoli was planted out with the cabbages, and kohlrabi quite a while ago. Here's a picture of that bed as it looks today.
And here is the second round of broccoli that was started 4 weeks later than the first crop and which was just recently planted out.
Amazingly enough the second crop of broccoli are so much more advanced in growth in comparison to the earlier crop (which had to contend with cold and snow right after I transplanted them) that they are both approximately at the same size and stage of growth - despite the month difference in age! I am going to have a big broccoli crop all at once because my usual succession planting strategy just did not work out for me this year. Oh well, I will just put some in the freezer for later use.
Another crop I will update you on is the spinach. We are harvesting from the overwintered patch of spinach and it has been keeping us well fed for the past many weeks. I am working it hard with regular harvests and it will soon be depleted and inclined to bolt to seed as the days lengthen. Here's a picture of the patch as it looks today.
And here is the spring seeded spinach patch that will be soon ready to replace the overwintered patch.
These plants are just beginning to show their first true leaves. This patch will produce our big spring harvest that is largely blanched and then frozen for use during the winter months. This is usually the first preserving effort that I do each year - freezing spinach from the spring crop.
Finally, here is the vertical grow bed that has some lettuces, the celery, swiss chard, and the beets planted up in it. The beets are all up but quite small yet (hard to see). The celery and swiss chard are thriving. I have direct seeded the sugar snap peas in this bed as well, but they are not emerged yet.
So that's it for now. Overall, things are in good shape. I need to finish up the two remaining big beds in the garden expansion area because I will soon be needing them for the last transplants that are currently growing in the shop under lights, and to direct seed the green bean and parsnip patches.
I will leave you with a picture of our Japanese red maple trees that are starting to really leaf out now. Spring is here (finally!).

National soccer team, Taifa Stars, head coach Jan Poulsen has promised to inspire his lads into an all out quest for crucial three points in the 2012 AFCON qualifier against visiting Central African Republic (CAR), to be played at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday.
The Danish tactician said his squad needs to win the match so it can revive its chances to qualify for the next year's showdown that will be jointly hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
"The CAR lead the group (D of the qualifiers) because of good results they garnered in their first two matches we have to beat them if we are to stay in the race for the 2012 AFCON finals.
We know it will be difficult but we have no choice but win the match," said Poulsen. "We have had very good training sessions and we are looking forward to the match. I don't know the CAR but my players are well prepared for the game and will push the opponents all the way," he added.
Poulsen said despite missing the services of key Stars' three professional players Nizar Khalfan (Vancouver Whitecaps, Canada), Abdi Kassim and Daniel Mrwanda (DT Long An, Vietnam), who have failed to join the squad because of communication breakdown between Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) and their respective clubs, he is ready to use the available squad to secure victory.
Stars are currently assured of having the three other professionals - Idrissa Rajab (Sofapaka, Kenya), Henry Joseph (Kongsvinger IL, Norway) and Mohamed Abdallah Machupa ( Vasalund IF, Sweden) for the match.
"I would have liked to have all six professionals for the match but I have got three so, I'm focusing on preparing the squad I have to face the CAR. We have to make use of the available squad to win the match," said Poulsen.
"We have a very good team and I believe we have chance to beat the CAR," he insisted. TFF secretary general Angetile Osiah said the federation used similar procedures in requesting for permission for all six professionals, but he was disappointed by the failure by Khalfan, Kassim and Mrwanda to join Stars.
"I'm, however, pleased that Poulsen is focusing on performing well in the match and he is ready to use the available squad. I urge Tanzanians to be patriotic and cheer Stars in the game despite the absence of the other three professionals," said Osiah.
Stars' skipper Shadrack Nsajigwa also oozed optimism on the side's ability to tame the CAR at the familiar National Stadium and urged domestic soccer fans to turn up in numbers to cheer their home team.
"We have prepared well for the match and we are determined to win it," said Nsajigwa. Speaking on the same occasion, the CAR head coach Accorsi Jules also admitted to have no knowledge of his opponents, but vowed to lead his team to a determined search for victory.
"We are prepared for any of the three results in a football match, winning, losing or forcing draw but, most importantly, we want to win the game. We didn't have any friendly match before the forthcoming assignment because of lack of funds but we will fight for the best results", said Jules.
He said securing a ticket to the next year's AFCON finals is his prime target and he is determined to guide the CAR to the showpiece, given that it will be the country's first time ever to participate in the event should it qualify.
Meanwhile, one of Stars' main sponsors, Serengeti Breweries Limited (SBL), on Thursday presented a cheque worth 100m/- to the team to fund preparations for the ongoing 2012 AFCON qualifiers.
Premium Serengeti Lager brand manager Allan Chonjo handed the cheque to TFF secretary general Angetile Osiah at the federation's premises in the city and said his company is proud of its association with TFF in developing domestic soccer.
He urged fans to attend the Saturday match and cheer Stars. Osiah thanked SBL for the support and said TFF's duty was to ensure Stars dispatch the CAR, given that the home side has already received financial assistance.

Do You Remember the Stories?
The stories Grandpa told you, way back when you were just big enough to sit on his lap? Or Grandma, in a whispering voice, carrying you away to those enchanted times when she was young …
These are the stories our food tells you. Stories of people, of culinary heritage, of precious seeds. Our food takes you back to a time when every village would grow its own variety of apples or tomatoes, and flavors abounded.
It's our mission to revive this abundance of authentic flavors – in your kitchen and on your table. At Scrumptious Pantry, our passion are the old heirloom varieties with their amazing flavors, fragrant aromas, gorgeous colors and unique shapes. We protect them, and make them shine in pure recipes. One bite, and you'll enter a magical world.
You want to know where your food comes from? We can tell you. We partner with family farms (some of which are pictured on the left) that follow time-honored, sustainable practices. Together, we are steadily increasing the amount of heirloom varietals we grow, relearning the art of our forefathers to cultivate these culinary treasures.
In the kitchen, we are fiercely protective of the varietals' distinct personalities. Inspired by heirloom recipes, we carefully transform them into marvels of delicacy. Think packaged foods are all alike? Think again. Better yet, try. Our delicious, farm-fresh vegetables guarantee a firework of flavor. And it goes without saying that we use organic ingredients where possible and are strong supporters of the Non-GMO movement. We are champions of biodiversity.
The Story of Scrumptious Pantry
Scrumptious Pantry grew out of Lee Greene's passion for stories: the stories of bygone eras, evoked by traditional recipes and heirloom crops. Hooked on these stories after studying in Italy, she joined the management team of a small biodynamic winery in Tuscany. Deeply involved in the challenges small quality farmers and winemakers were facing, she developed the idea of a food brand, that would highlight historic varietals, growing regions, and the taste of a sense of place. And so, Scrumptious Pantry was born.

This searing photo essay show in stark relief the landscape of the foreclosure crisis, in this case in Florida. By now we all know the details. Foreclosures are continuing at a reord pace, three years after the beginning of the recession. This massive turnover of property has turned entire neighborhoods into ghost towns and continued to be a drag on the economy. While there are higher incidences in "sand states" where the housing bubble inflated larger than elsewhere, this crisis is far from being localized to one region, and is prevalent all over the country. The potential damage over the next few years is even greater, as one out of every three homes in cities like Boise, Idaho are underwater.
We know that banks and loan servicers have massive incentives to foreclose, and then in many cases keep the homes off the market and in shadow inventory, avoiding the realization of a loss on their books. Banks who made crucial errors in the origination and securitization stages don't want to be held responsible for those mistakes, and think the best way to go about that is by burying the evidence. So they have rushed to foreclose on borrowers who could have handled a loan modification, in many cases illegally so. And the stories keep getting tallied up day by day. Banks are foreclosing on the wrong homes, ones that don't even have mortgages. Homeowners who are current on their loans are getting thrown out of their homes. Banks are faking summons, faking documents, faking notarizations, even faking lawyers, all in a desperate and chaotic effort to foreclose.
Amidst this chaos, some heroes have really stepped up. There are foreclosure mediation groups and activists, like NACA, who are setting up face-to-face meetings between lenders and borrowers. There are successful advocacy groups like ESOP in Cleveland, also mediating on behalf of homeowners. And there are the lawyers, foreclosure defense attorneys who have uncovered virtually every seedy game the servicers and the banks have been playing, who have effectively represented their clients.
If anything, the government should strongly support these efforts. The status quo is hopelessly broken, and it threatens economic recovery. The Treasury Department should demand that banks stop the rush to foreclose, and having effective representation for borrowers goes a long way toward that. But when given the option to allow TARP funds to be used for legal aid for foreclosure victims, the Treasury blocked it.
…consider the 19 states which are recipients of the Hardest Hit Fund (HHF)–a portion of TARP money set aside to help homeowners in states struggling with the highest unemployment rates and steepest declines in the housing market.
Some of those states, including Ohio, let Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner know as far back as this past spring that they wanted to use some of those funds to assist legal aid groups that help individual homeowners. Seems like a reasonable request–unlike the absurdity of handing over trillions of dollars to robo-signing, foreclosure-mad banks, no questions asked.
Treasury solicited the opinion of an outside law firm, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey. Never mind that the firm's clients include BB&T Corporation and payday lender CNG Financial Corp. The firm said, in essence–sorry, no can do on the legal aid. Not permitted under the TARP.
You know, because Treasury certainly "played by the rules" of TARP in all other aspects.
As I understand it, the Treasury's argument is that TARP must go toward financial instruments, and foreclosure legal aid doesn't apply. This has been a back-and-forth between Treasury and a few hardy members of Congress for at least six months. Mary Jo Kilroy asked Tim Geithner back then if Hardest Hit Fund money can be used to this purpose, as Ohio and other states (like Florida) requested. Treasury said no, arguing that their hands were tied.
Marcy Kaptur dropped a bill, HR 5510, to remove the legal tangles associated with allowing TARP money to go to legal aid. Kaptur and her colleagues are trying to move the bill on the suspension calendar. The Senate obviously offers a roadblock, but Sen. Sherrod Brown has a companion bill, S. 3979, that they are trying to get through on unanimous consent. But obviously getting anything through the Senate is a tall order. Rochard Shelby would have to clear it.
Treasury could have changed their mind on this multiple times. They chose not to. They would rather help block access to the courts, essentially, for victims of foreclosure.
"We talked with Secretary Geithner about this back in June–we had mailed him letters," said Kaptur. "But of course with the big banks in charge, Treasury is sadly representing them more than the people being affected by this around the country and in places like Ohio. It didn't have to be this way. And the carnage across the countryside in terms of empty neighborhoods, families destroyed, going into our shelters–it didn't have to happen." […]
"Legal aid lawyers are on the front line of the housing crisis, and their hard work is often the only thing helping homeowners understand their rights in foreclosure," Senator Brown told me in an e-mail. "Unlike many of the foreclosure prevention programs already in place, providing legal services with adequate resources is a simple, straightforward way of helping families keep their homes without providing a windfall to the banks." […]
"The courts–the judicial system of this country–is what is left in terms of gaining fair treatment under the law for homeowners," said Kaptur.
This is a crime being perpetrated right now. People are having their homes stolen from them, and the judicial branch is practically their last shot. Treasury knows just what they're doing.

Jerry Sandusky claims innocence, says it was horseplay
The New York Times reported on its website late Monday that close to 10 additional suspected victims have come forward to authorities since Sandusky's arrest, according to people close to the investigation. The paper said police were working to confirm the new allegations.
A spokesman for Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly declined to comment on the interview, citing the active investigation.
Amendola earlier told CNN that his client was just behaving like "a jock."
"Jerry Sandusky is a big overgrown kid," Amendola said. "He's a jock, and for anybody who's ever played sports, you get showers after you work out."
Wide receivers coach Mike McQueary told a grand jury that in March 2001 when he was a graduate assistant, he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy about 10 years old in a shower at the Nittany Lions' practice center.
McQueary did not go to police but instead told Paterno, Curley and Schultz, although it is unclear how detailed a description he gave. Schultz, in turn, notified Spanier.
Sandusky told NBC there was no sexual contact.
"We were showering and horsing around, and he actually turned all the showers on and was actually sliding across the floor, and we were, as I recall, possibly like snapping a towel - horseplay," he said.
Amendola accused the attorney general's office of having "thrown everything they can throw up against the wall." He said some of the allegations, such as putting a hand on a boy's knee, do not constitute criminal conduct and other cases include no direct complaint by the boy.
"They have other people who are saying they saw something, but they don't have actual people saying, `This is what Jerry did to me,"' Amendola said. "We're working to find those people, and when the time comes, and if we are able to do that, we think this whole case will change dramatically."
The Associated Press has made several efforts to reach Sandusky by phone and through Amendola, but messages haven't been returned. The AP also knocked on Sandusky's door and left messages at least three times over the past week.
When Sandusky retired in 1999, at just 55, he cited his desire to devote more time to The Second Mile, a charity he founded in 1977 to help at-risk kids. According to the grand jury report, however, Sandusky was a sexual predator who used the charity and his Penn State connections to prey on young boys.
Though he was not particularly close with Paterno, he remained a familiar sight around the Penn State football complex. He was given an office in the East Area Locker building, across the street from the football building, as part of his retirement package, and would take Second Mile kids around the football facilities.
The Sandusky interview came on the day when it was announced the president of The Second Mile had resigned. Jack Raykovitz, a practicing psychologist who had led the group for 28 years, said he hoped his resignation, accepted Sunday, would help restore faith in the group's mission. The Second Mile also announced it had hired Philadelphia's former longtime district attorney Lynne Abraham as its new general counsel.
Separately, the Big Ten has decided to take Paterno's name off its championship trophy. League commissioner Jim Delany said that it is "inappropriate" to keep Paterno's name on the trophy that will be awarded Dec. 3 to the winner of the conference's first title game.
The trophy had been named the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Paterno had more wins, 409, than any other major college coach while football pioneer Amos Alonzo Stagg won 319 games in 57 years at the University of Chicago.
The trophy will now be called the Stagg Championship Trophy.

What is it?
Hmmm, given that Lexus usually excels at making cars ride and handle, or at least ride, the SC430 is surprisingly wobbly when going fast. The steering expired some time ago and there's precious little feel. It encourages precisely nothing. Bit of a bugger when the Mercedes SL is the competition.
One of the most unsubtle rides in the world of the car. For a big CC cruiser, you'd think the SC430 would be a world of calm, but it punches every pothole with a vengeance. The engine and gearbox themselves are near silent - it's just that the suspension and tyres feel broken.
On the inside
You can't really hear it, but the SC430's 4.3-litre V8 and five-speed auto are tremendously refined and quite quick; 0-62mph in just 6.2 seconds and a limited 155mph top speed. You just never feel like making use of it.
You might think that you're thinking outside the box and being a bit eccentric when buying an SC430. Anyone who knows anything about cars will just think you're a twat who knows nothing about cars.

Our Medical staff are dedicated professionals who work with interdisciplinary teams to provide the best possible care to the patients throughout our region. We are pleased to provide excellent care and service in many different departments and specialties.
Welcome to our 2 new Family Medicine Residents
Earlier in September the Owen Sound Medical staff hosted a welcome luncheon for our two new Post Graduate Year 1 Family Medicine Residents. Ashley Fraser and Dale Edwards from McMaster University will join Residents Alexandra Hodgson and Heather Reid, who are completing their second year of family medicine training in Owen Sound and our rural GBHS sites.
Physicians from the Owen Sound Family Health Team, Dr. Cam Tweedie, Dr Elyse Savaria, Dr. Ann Louise McArthur and Dr. Debbie Dyke are the preceptors for the family medicine residency program which is affiliated with McMaster University and the ROMP (Rural Ontario Medical Program). This is the 4th year of the program, and we are very proud that our first graduate, Dr. David Diodati, decided to stay in the area and joined the Wiarton Family Health Team in 2013. Dr. Diodati also does shifts in the Wiarton ER. More recently another of our Family Medicine Residents, Dr. Mark Robertson, also decided to make Owen Sound his home and he joined the Owen Sound FHT. Former Resident Dr. Samantha Saunders now provides locum coverage in Owen Sound and at some of our rural sites.
The Residency program is one of our strongest and most successful recruitment tools for attracting potential new physicians to our hospitals and to Grey Bruce. Many of the Residents who come here for their two year training are not familiar with the area, and are surprised to find the excellent range of specialties offered here, the quality of our programs, and the experience of our physicians and staff. The natural environment and outdoor activities in Grey Bruce are also a bonus, and after two years of exploring the area, Residents soon see both the professional and personal benefits of making this their home.
The residents complete all two years of their training with GBHS including working with our specialists in the Emergency Department, Pediatrics, Obstetrics / Gynecology, Internal Medicine, and also have the opportunity to complete electives with the surgery, anesthesia, ICU, psychiatry, oncology, and hospitalist departments.
In addition to the full-time Family Medicine Residents, GBHS has a well establish medical education program with an average of 20 medical students and / or residents every month from McMaster, Western University, University of Toronto, Queens and Ottawa who complete from 2 weeks up to 3 month long electives with a physician in one of the 6 sites.
Please join us in welcoming Ashley and Dale to GBHS.

Planetarium Show
A visit to the UCLA Planetarium has three parts: a current night-sky show, a special topic presentation, and (weather permitting) a telescope viewing. The content of the night-sky show will vary by presenter, but will generally cover the currently visible stars, constellations, planets, and other astronomical phenomena. The night-sky show lasts 30-40 minutes and is suitable for all ages.
The special topic presentation is a 15-25 minute slide or video presentation about a specific area of astronomy, and is shown in the planetarium immediately preceding/following the night-sky show. Special topic presentations are designed to be interesting and meaningful for anyone who comes to our planetarium. A different topic is offered at each week's public show. New presentations are constantly being developed; click here for a complete list of current special topic presentations.
On clear nights, we offer telescope viewing after our public planetarium shows. UCLA undergraduate astronomers will point you towards some of the fascinating objects we can see from Los Angeles, such as planets, binary stars, nebulae, globular clusters, and more!

San Francisco to host 50th Super Bowl, Houston gets Super Bowl 51
The homes of Super Bowl 50 and 51 have been named. Though Super Bowl 50 isn't until 2016, it's been announced that the NFL championship game will head to the west coast, emanating from the San Francisco, Cal. Bay Area.
Team owners voted on the location Tuesday (May 21), agreeing to hold the game at the San Francisco 49ers new stadium, due to be open for the 2014 season, the Associated Press reports. Levi's Stadium is located in Santa Clarita, Cal., roughly 40 miles from their current home at Candlestick Park.
"We are so excited to be able to be able to put on the 'Golden Super Bowl' in the Golden State," 49ers CEO Jed York says.
The following year, the Super Bowl will be held in Houstin, Tex. at the Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans. It will be the city's third time as host, after games in 1974 and 2004. It was previously announced that Super Bowl 48, in 2014, will be in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan Area. In 2015, Super Bowl 49 will be in Phoenix, Az. at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

Facebook has made many changes to its newsfeed over the years (each usually generating howls of protest on launch and then viewed as business as usual within a week or two), but the interface on web and iOS app alike has seen only minor tweaks. Popup photos aside, it's essentially remained a clean but uninspiring scrolling layout.
All this is set to change with the launch of Paper, a new iOS-only app set to launch in the U.S. on 3rd February.
Paper makes storytelling more beautiful with an immersive design and fullscreen, distraction-free layouts. We've also made it easier to craft and share beautiful stories of your own …
From the video and microsite demos at least, it appears to be a very slick, appealing and easy to use app, with full-screen photos and videos, Flipboard-style sliding tiles of posts and live previews of your own posts.
- Everything responds to your touch so you can pick up or thumb through stories with simple, natural movements
- You can tilt your phone to explore high-resolution panoramic photos from corner to corner, and see faces and other important details up close
- Fullscreen autoplay videos come to life and bring you deep into the action
- Beautifully detailed covers make it easy to spot articles from trusted publishers and decide what to read or watch.· Articles unfold in the app and appear fullscreen for a focused reading experience
- When you're ready to tell your own story, you know exactly what your post or photo will look like because you see a live preview before you share it
What will be more interesting to see is whether the app will enable Facebook to succeed in its aim of acting as an aggregator of published content. Choose a theme like technology, and get to see the stories being shared by those beyond just your own Facebook friends, and hand-selected by Facebook editors.
Your Paper is made of stories and themed sections, so you can follow your favorite interests. The first section in Paper is your Facebook News Feed, where you'll enjoy inspiring new designs for photos, videos, and longer written posts. You can customize Paper with a choice of more than a dozen other sections about various themes and topics—from photography and sports to food, science and design. Each section includes a rich mix of content from emerging voices and well-known publications.
Facebook users have historically been resistant to third-party content in their newsfeeds, both advertising and editorial. Facebook is clearly hoping that giving users the ability to choose their own themes, and turning it into a more beautiful experience, will prove the key to changing our minds.
Interestingly, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says that the company plans to launch a range of different apps, rather than trying to cram all the functionality into one. In a Bloomberg interview that's well worth reading, Zuckerberg says that a recent three-day hackathon generated plenty of ideas.
Zuckerberg says about 40 ideas emerged from the event. While he won't share them, he says as many as half a dozen could be introduced this year under the Creative Labs umbrella and suggests one could be tailored for Facebook Groups, an often overlooked feature of the social network that allows clusters of members to communicate privately.
The Paper app should be available from iTunes on 3rd February for U.S. users. There is as yet no word on when it will roll out to other countries.

Why would the call it 'Paper'? Totally dick move on Facebook's part.
That jittery video is nausea-inducing.
From the video, you'd think the app won't be jam-packed with ads–but you'd be wrong.
I personally prefer a visual app like Hinto.co where I can pick out what I want to see, instead of being told what news to read by an algorithm. But I must admit, the video presentation of Paper is pretty impressive and the effects are very nice.
When the app will be available for other countries?
What they should have done is made the app for iPad that makes more sense. With they way the app is designed it looks silly on a small 4 inch display.

Tax scam email doing the rounds
Posted: February 11, 2014|
THE tax authority is warning taxpayers not to be caught out by email phishing scams offering tax rebates in return for bank account or credit card details.
Gareth Lloyd, head of digital security at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), said: "HMRC never contacts customers who are due a tax refund via email – we always send a letter through the post.
"If you receive an email claiming to be from HMRC which offers a tax rebate, please send it to email@example.com and then delete it permanently.
"We close these websites down, and do all we can to ensure taxpayers stay safe online and to target the criminals behind these scams."

Asking the right questions
One of the fun parts of my job is answering plant questions. But it's tricky, because about half the time I have to decode the question and then let the customer know they've been asking the wrong question all along.
Here's an example: About 342 times over the years I've been asked, "What's the best grass for this area?" But the question I'm really being asked is: "What grass can I plant that will look great without soil preparation, irrigation, fertilization or weed management?" And here's the question my customer should be asking: "Where in the U.S. is it easier to grow a nice lawn, 'cause it sure ain't piedmont N.C.?"
Here's another example: "Can you recommend a fast-growing shrub?" The decoded version is, "Can you recommend an inexpensive shrub that will reach a height of 8 feet in a few months and then stop growing?" And the question they should be asking is, "Where's the best place to buy lumber to build a screen fence?"
Yes, the problem with the fast-growing shrub is that they don't stop growing. That means in a few years you will have to choose from the following options:
Option 1 — Shrub reaches desired height. Begin aggressive biannual pruning campaign. Search internet for industrial atomic-powered pruning shears from Sweden.
Option 2 — Shrub reaches desired height. Enjoy the moment. Take a picture for posterity. Sit back and watch as shrub becomes ginormous in coming years. Years later face weeks of work removing shrubs that have engulfed yard and trapped you in house.
Option 3 — Build time machine. Go back to day you purchased shrub and choose differently.
It's true, my job will be much easier once we all have time-traveling DeLoreans. Isn't Google working on that?
In the meantime, you can make my job much easier by doing just a bit more research on plant selection. And after all, I'm pretty sure "making Paul's job easier" is a goal we can all share and work toward.
Oh, and there's the added benefit that you will be happier with your landscape, but that's obviously secondary to the whole "make Paul's life easier" thing.
When selecting plants, I suggest you ignore "growth rate" as a criteria. Instead, start with "size at maturity" (also note, whatever numbers you find in the reference books or internet, add 10 or 20 percent).
The next important criteria is to find out whether a particular shrub is commonly attacked by insects or pathogens. There are a number of plants that I would not plant for this very reason.
My personal "do not plant" list would include Leyland Cypress (don't get me started!), Bradford pear (poor structure, fireblight) and Japanese hollies (root rot, nematodes), among others. Note that this is personal preference and there are situations where each of these plants might be a perfectly good choice. But the flip side is that there are great performing alternatives for all these plants.
It's also worth noting that many of the problems I see involve situations where someone planted five, 10 or 50 of the same plant. It's one thing to lose a single plant that stands alone. It's another to lose one in the middle of a formal hedge, or have a pest that starts working on the whole row.
So until we get those time machines, a little up front research will help you avoid a host of problems.

THE media should align itself with the objectives of creating a more peaceful and stable political environment, Information and Broadcasting Services Deputy Minister Mwansa Kapeya has said.
Mr Kapeya said in Lusaka yesterday that the media played a critical role in peace building and conflict resolution as well as economic development.
He was speaking when he officiated at a media sensitisation workshop on small arms and light weapons dubbed 'Peace journalism in a world of conflict'.
Mr Kapeya said peace was a fragile commodity which should be guarded jealously through responsible reporting by the media.
"Peace is a fragile commodity which must be guarded jealously. It is said that wars are born in the mind and it is in the mind that wars must be fought," Mr Kapeya said.
He said information was power as it dealt with the mind where decisions were made, adding that it was imperative for the media to disseminate information that fostered peace and love.
"Our region is in a hurry to develop and the media has a critical role to play in realising this objective by promoting a climate of peace, security and stability," he said.
Mr Kapeya praised the media in Zambia for ensuring that peace was upheld through responsible reportage since independence.
Zambia, he said, would continue to collaborate with the regional centre on small arms and light weapons in ensuring the best practice guidelines on practical disarmament were adopted and deployed at all levels.
"It is my sincere conviction that this seminar will result in deeper and more informed reporting by the media on issues of small arms and light weapons in making society safer and a better place to live in," Mr Kapeya said.
Regional Centre for Small Arms and Light Weapons representative, Angela Baiya-Wadeyua said there was need to supplement Government's efforts through raising awareness on small arms and light weapons to enhance peace.
Ms Baiya-Wadeyua said the media played a critical role in securing peace and fostering development in any nation.

Montana defeats Sacramento State
Date posted: March 8, 2013
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Jordan Gregory scored 21 points as Montana maintained its hold on first place in the Big Sky Conference with a 63-52 victory over Sacramento State on Thursday night.
The Grizzlies (22-6, 18-1 Big Sky) lead Weber State by one game in the conference standings with one game remaining in the regular season.
Kareem Jamar added 12 points for Montana, which played again without starters Will Cherry and Mathias Ward because of foot injuries. Cherry, the team's leading scorer, has missed the last three games and is also expected to sit out the regular-season finale Saturday against Northern Arizona. Ward, who was hurt Feb. 16, had surgery this week and is out for the season.
John Dickson led Sacramento State (14-14, 8-11) with 15 points.
The Vikings, one of four teams still fighting for the final three spots in the seven-team Big Sky tournament, finish the regular season Saturday at Montana State.
