Outdoor Research Fall/Winter Hatsby: David Vo
Despite being summer, the weather around here has been highly unpredictable. We are mostly blessed with beautiful days, but early in the morning and after the sun has dropped below the horizon, the air can get a bit crisp. I think the best way to keep warm without feeling stuffy or sweaty is to focus on the extremities and head. I am a fan of the beanie, but recently I saw Outdoor Research's new line of warm headgear and I think I may need to add a few to my wardrobe. The Yukon cap, with it's textured wool exterior and button ear flaps, really caught my eye. However, the one that I think really stands out is the Odd Job hat (pictured). Besides scoring points for the Bond reference, the brimmed hat comes with a bottle opener attached. Come to think of it, drinking beers is another great way to keep warm!

Susan Kare Big Wall Graphicsby: David Vo
If you're the kind of person that enjoys large graphics wrapped around your car, or perhaps a large sticker over your garage door so it looks like a jet fighter is parked there, a custom wall print might just make your day. LTLprints has teamed up with veteran graphic designer Susan Kare to offer some of her best work, blown up and pixelly retro. Kare created many of the original typefaces and icons for Mac OS and recently was responsible for the "gifts" icons on Facebook. There are dozens to choose from and if you take the time to browse through the choices, I am sure a few will be instantly recognizable. For those of you not content with standard offerings, you can also design your own graphic collage with a neat drag and drop online tool.
Twitter Visualization: Tori's Eyeby: David Vo
Two trends are still holding strong in 2009 – the popularity of Twitter and mashups. Using only XHTML/CSS and Javascript, the clan at Quodis Labs has created a beautiful real-time visualisation of updates in the Twitterverse. Dubbed Tori's Eye, visitors simply click each origami bird as it "flies" across your screen and read the message it's carrying. You can always change the default search (twitpic) to anything that interests you. Truly a different and quirky way to present information.
Tron Legacyby: David Vo
With the recent release of the Tron Legacy trailer, some 27 years after the original release, a new generation of moviegoers will get a chance to experience the 3D awesomeness that their parents still fondly remember. I was an 80′s baby so I can rightfully claim that I am part of that original group of the faithful, and after viewing the trailer I can't wait to watch the movie. The only thing really helping me pass the time is a fan poster created by digital artists James White (aka Signalnoise). It's tastefully done, with the trademark blue and green light streaks and the grid floor pattern. Looking at his body of work, the Tron Legacy movie seems to be the perfect subject as its style (lights, gradients) matches his own. I love tastefully done fan art and this one is a great example of such!
Camdapterby: David Vo
Usually when I take my SLR somewhere, I plan on shooting a large number of shots with short intervals between shots. For convenience and security reasons, I usually hang my 40D around my neck using the included strap. However, this presents a few problems. First, this solution does not lend itself to quick shooting. There is time lost to bring it up from your waist to your eyes. I also wear belts with metal buckles which usually means when I "drop" the camera, it hits against something hard and that can't be good for the LCD screen.
I was turned to Jim Garavuso's invention, the Camdapter by some very convincing photography forum posts. A mechanical design engineer with 18 years of experience, Jim created the Camdapter to solve a personal problem but quickly learned that fellow photographers need a solution as well. The Camdapter is made from hard anodized aluminum and your choice of top grain leathers. It cleverly uses one of your neck strap mounts as well as creating a secondary mount on the bottom using an adapter plate attached to the tripod mount on your camera. The strap is fully adjustable and allows you to securely hold the camera with one hand. I run my Camdapter a bit loose so I am still able to access the thumb controls fully. Once you put one on, you'll quickly learn the subtle movements of your hand that loosen or tighten the strap. As a bonus, if you still wanted to wear your neck strap, you could still attach it, giving you both options. There are multiple adapters which assure the setup is still tripod mountable regardless of whichever setup you may be running. The cost of the set is completely reasonable, in my opinion, and is a small fraction of the cost of the host and glass setup many of us are running.
2009 Bicycle Film Festivalby: David Vo
As we make our way through 2009, Cycling's popularity has not shown any indication of slowing down. With Lance's return to the Tour, continued interest in singlespeed and fixies, and a burgeoning market for city cruisers and vintage bikes (thanks Copenhagen), it's only natural that this pastime be documented on film. In it's 9th year, the Bicycle Film Festival launched in New York on June 17th and has participation from 39 cities worldwide. With a full roster of events including live performances, art shows, and of course showings, the BFF promises to have something for everyone. The schedules vary from city to city so please check out the website before you attend.
Innate Food Containersby: David Vo
In what reminds me of a cross between storage Tupperware and tiffin lunch carriers, updated to modern times, the Innate food containers are just what my pantry needs. They are BPA-Free and Phthalate-Free (try saying that 3 times quick), so you know that no nasty chemicals are leeching into your food even when heated. The containers are made of durable 18/8 steel while the tops are made of silicone. The best part is the top fully collapses to fit flat on the container, yet expands and doubles as a bowl. It is also microwave safe which is great since metal and microwaves don't play nice. There are two sizes available with three color choices.
Nike SB: Debacleby: David Vo
When word starting hitting the hypebeast sites that Nike was getting into skateboarding, there were plenty of doubters. Afterall, what does a company built on the waffle racer and Air Jordan's know about the (pseudo) underground sport of skateboarding? The naysayers were silenced and now Nike is respected in the skate world having both a roster of talent and great kicks. One reason I think Nike has always been able to maintain it's corporate dominance while garnering respect of their customers is they know how to gather the best talent and market themselves to their audience, in a way that shows they understand. That's exactly what they have done with their new and revolutionary project Debacle. For Nike's latest skate video, they teamed up with Adobe's Experience Design (XD) team and Hega TV. Together, along with director Jason Hernandez's leadership, they have produced a film that is inspiring and breathtaking, in full HD. Luckily for you, the viewer, they flipped the traditional distribution method on it's head. Nike SB: Debacle is available first online for viewing and download, then a Blu-Ray version will be released later. By now I hope I have convinced you to go watch 30 minutes of the most progressive skateboarding today. Congrats to everyone involved.
Commonwealth x Billabongby: David Vo
Perennial VA/DC favorite Commonwealth has teamed up with Billabong for a series of board shorts made from a new fabric called Eco-Supreme Suede. The material is made from recycled pure polyester and can be recycled at the end of their life. It takes about ten recycled 12 oz plastic bottles to produce a pair of the tiger camo shorts. I am not a fan of the current options for men's beachwear but depending how this new Billabong fabric feels, I will probably grab a pair when I am in DC next week. Via Highsnobiety
Sam Potts & The Sport of Designby: David Vo
Each year, designers and fans anxiously await the start of the Layer Tennis season. 2009 was no different, as Coudal Partners, a Chicago ad and design agency, kicked off a series of live online design events in which professionals trade designs back and forth in real-time, building on top of their opponent's work. A third party offers commentary which is often whimsical as well as inspiring and unpredictable. The audience can comment during the actual match as well as vote for a winner afterward, all using Twitter. This current season started on February 3 and was held every Friday ending May 29. We are currently in the playoffs in which you can find our featured designer, Sam Potts facing off against Aaron Draplin this Friday, June 12.
In this second season (of its current incarnation), we wanted to get an idea of the impact Layer Tennis has on the participants and the design community at large. Could we find a pattern in the tools or techniques used? What sort of pressures do they face when the ball in in their court and the clock is ticking? Keep reading for the interview…

Filner recall organizer Stampp Corbin admits he joked about launching sabotage effort
SAN DIEGO - In the wake of Michael Pallamary's demand for Stampp Corbin to stop his bid to recall Mayor Bob Filner, 10News has new information about the private phone call that helped sparked claims that the second recall effort is a sham.
Two days before Michael Pallamary's notice appeared in U-T San Diego, Stampp Corbin, the publisher of LGBT weekly, placed his own notice in the newspaper.
Some called it a ploy by a Filner backer to foil other recall efforts.
Among the skeptics was Susan Jester, the head of the local Log Cabin Republicans, a gay Republican group. She says during a phone conversation a week ago, Corbin boasted that he would start a recall effort to "sit on it and stall time" to help Filner.
Corbin told 10News, "It's patently ridiculous that I would call her and say I am sabotaging the recall … that I would be so dumb as to call the head of the gay Republicans Log Cabin group and tell her that's what I was going to do."
Corbin said he simply wants to move San Diego forward and get the recall process moving.
"This is about San Diegans being able to have their voice," he said.
When 10News pressed Corbin about what exactly he did say, he admitted Jester heard correctly but he was not being serious.
10News reporter Michael Chen asked, "So you did make a joke about it but didn't mean it? Is that what you're saying?"
"Yes," said Corbin.
He said he often talks about wild political scenarios with friends passionate about politics.
"When you're two leaders and on opposite sides of the issue and you're friends, you often make jokes," said Corbin. "You often make jokes and be inappropriate because it's fun!"
Jester told 10News if the conversation was a joke why is everything coming true, including Corbin's recall bid.
It remains unclear whether two recall bids can occur at the same time.
Critics have also taken aim at Corbin's effort, which will consist mainly of leaving petitions at his office.
Chen asked, "You are intelligent and politically savvy. You must know that a recall effort without a concerted organized effort is likely doomed to fail?"
"I don't believe that," said Corbin. "I believe in the citizenry of San Diego. If citizens want it to happen, they're going to make it happen."
Corbin said he does not believe in paid signature gathering because it helped pass Proposition 8.
When asked if he would combine Pallamary's signatures with his, he said, "Of course."
Corbin has yet to complete step two of the recall process, which is serving notice to the mayor.
Pallamary has completed step two, so the big question is which of the efforts will become the official one, in case only one can occur at one time.
He gave Corbin 24 hours to drop his campaign or he would file a complaint with the District Attorney's Office, charging him with violations of the state elections code.
The city attorney says they will issue an opinion on the topic of two recall efforts sometime in the next few days.

Students analyze the effects of education on individuals, communities, and the world. They demonstrate that we are all connected and that others are affected by things that we believe only affect us. Students read and review statistics that highlight the lower number of girls than boys who attend schools around the world. They identify the reasons for gender inequality in schools and explore what policies and measures are in place for achieving universal primary education for kids all over the world. Students take action to either raise funds and/or to increase awareness of the importance of education for students in developing countries.

" Education is our passport to the future,
for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare
for it today."
—Malcolm X
Education across the globe, including schooling and other types of learning, is a fascinating topic to explore with students of all ages. Students will react well to this "meta-approach." Studying education in the context of their own schools and after-school activities will provide excellent opportunity for reflection and understanding. When students are in an educational context, they will be more receptive to and understanding of the issues facing education around the globe. A key aspect of this unit will be to constantly "bring the lesson back" to your students. If students understand the challenges facing international education, and if they realize how lucky they are to be provided with such excellent educations of their own, they will be more motivated to act on behalf of the international community.

thanks man
wasnt this the virus that eneded up on the bo2k cds somehow back in the day?
good work on the md5 collision stuff too :)
These detection results are pretty disappointing.. anyone know why? Are these just too old?
Reason for detections being low
In the case of kaspersky the detection is not present because the detection causes false alarms. It's available from their website.
Nothing to worry about anyways... it's not ITW.

Title: George Wood to Walt Whitman, [15 January 1863]
Date: January 15, 1863
Source: Transcribed from a digital image or microfilm reproduction of the original manuscript.
Location: The Charles E. Feinberg Collection of the Papers of Walt Whitman, 1839–1919, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.

Mr dear Sir
You sometimes find a poor soldier whom a small sum would relieve and I beg you will distribute these pieces of paper as you shall see best on your visits to the Hospital.
G Wood
Mr W: Whitman
1. As the manuscript of this letter shows, the date of this letter reads simply, "Thursday"; because Whitman responded to George Wood's letter on Saturday, January 17, 1863, we might thereby assume that the date of this letter is most likely Thursday, January 15, 1863. George Wood (1799–1870) worked as a clerk in the Treasury Department in 1822, and he held various posts in that bureau until his death. He was the author of several satirical works, Peter Schlemihl in America (Philadelphia: Carey and Hart, 1848) and The Gates Wide Open; or, Scenes in Another World (Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1869); see National Cyclopaedia of American Biography. Undoubtedly he became acquainted with Whitman through Ellen and William O'Connor. Ellen O'Connor mentioned a Mr. Wood in her letter of July 5, 1864. In reply to Whitman's letter, evidently delivered by O'Connor and dated "Thursday"—probably January 15, 1863—Wood wrote: "You sometimes find a poor soldier whom a Small Sum would relieve and I beg you will distribute these pieces of paper as you shall see best on your visit to the Hospital."

IU Health Goshen Center for Cancer Care
Our Approach to Prostate Cancer
Cancers We Treat
- prostate Cancer

- Supportive Services
- Clinical Trials

- Survivor Stories
- Goshen Advantage
Integrated Care for prostate cancer patients
At Indiana University Health Goshen Center for Cancer Care, we've created a comprehensive prostate cancer treatment program committed to your overall health. It's a commitment that reaches from your initial diagnosis to recovery and beyond.
Throughout treatment, we use an integrated approach to cancer care where physicians, dietitians, naturopathic oncologists and counselors all work together as a team. These specialists bring a number of disciplines – from leading-edge medical therapies and groundbreaking research to patient-specific clinical trials – to offer you the most complete care possible. Plus, you have access to a host of supportive services, including counselors, support groups and chaplains. Every day, this multidisciplinary team of specialists works together to share ideas and contribute to your individualized treatment plan. And in recovery, we teach you to maintain a healthier lifestyle to help prevent cancer from returning.
At IU Health Goshen Center for Cancer Care, we've created a place like no other. Working to heal you, not just treat your cancer.
The right treatment
Whether you require active surveillance or advanced treatment, our comprehensive prostate cancer program meets your specific needs while reducing the risk of side effects. We even treat complex or recurrent cases often declined at other facilities.
Da vinci robotic-assisted surgery
IU Health Goshen Center for Cancer Care is one of the few facilities in the region to offer the minimally invasive da Vinci® robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer. This revolutionary technique causes less pain and scarring. Plus, it requires shorter hospital stays.
Free prostate cancer screening
Every man is at risk for prostate cancer. To find it early, regular screening is essential. Our free prostate cancer screening includes a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test and DRE (digital rectal exam). Schedule yours today.
About prostate cancer
As the most common cancer found in men, prostate cancer will be diagnosed in approximately 200,000 men this year, according to the American Cancer Society. Plus, one in six men will be diagnosed during his lifetime. However, only one in 32 will succumb to the disease, because, when diagnosed early, survival rates for prostate cancer can reach 90 percent. With greater awareness and regular screening, the early detection of prostate cancer is on the rise and mortality is in decline. Plus, advanced treatments – such as da Vinci® robotic-assisted surgery and high-dose rate brachytherapy – are allowing more men to return to active and productive lives sooner with fewer complications.

AUGUSTA - Lucas Glover has struggled on the PGA tour recently but the former Clemson golfer and 2009 U.S. Open champion capped a good day at the Masters with a sizzling finish Friday. Glover birdied No. 17 and No. 18 to shoot 69 for the second round at Augusta National Golf Club.
It was Glover's first round in the 60s in seven Masters appearances.
At even for the tournament, Glover is assured of making the cut for a second straight year. Not bad for the PGA tour's No. 322nd ranked player.
"It's always good to birdie the last two no matter where you are, especially around here," Glover said. "I couldn't be happier with the way I finished."
The usually reserved 34-year-old Greenville native celebrated his birdie putt at 18 with a fist pump.
"I'm not much of a Friday fist-pumper," Glover said, "but I don't think I've ever shot in the 60s here. That just meant a lot to me. That had nothing to do with showing anybody up; that was for me."
Glover's best Masters finish was No. 20 in 2007.

Made by Meta, Fig Cabinet by Tord Boontje. I saw this at the Milan furniture fair back in April and still not made my mind up on it. Incredible production but there's something that just makes me say no, it is also insanely expensive.
Also, identity for Meta is designed by Spin, nice type and some ace photography. Not sure if they've updated their site but always worth a look.

A University of Tampa class on socioeconomic class
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
A University of Tampa professor said itâs not true that Americans donât like to talk about class. Paul Hillier is an assistant professor in the department of communication and he tells students that examples of socioeconomic class are everywhere, especially in the media. During an honors symposium at the University of Tampa in February, Hillier said he thinks the way itâs portrayed is all wrong.
"If youâre in a particular class, itâs your fault, itâs your problem. Itâs not societyâs problem. And it masks and erases the notion that itâs something that we can address together; something that we can address socially."
Hillier used the sitcom Weeds as an example of pop culture display of class. Itâs about a widow who takes to selling marijuana to maintain her lifestyle after her husbandâs death. Hillier said the protagonist in that show could have made ends meet without resorting to slinging drugs if she had been willing to downsize.
"Class isnât a choice. Class is a social condition. Class is a product of the economic system by which we live and thatâs what needs to be challenged."
He also brought up a statistical analysis by the U.S. Department of Energy that shows what types of household amenities are found in poor households. A conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation demonized the fact that, according to the study, almost all low income homes had a refrigerator, stove and oven. Hilliar said that study ignores important economic impacts.
"You probably donât have good healthcare. You probably go to a poor school. You probably see or face things in your daily lives that a number of people, upper class, middle class people never encounter."
Hilliar said that the most common answer to bridging the gap between classes is education. He quoted an article by John Marsh.
"We seek to decrease inequality and poverty by improving educational enrollment, performance and attainment. A good deal of evidence, however, suggests that we should do just the opposite. Only by first decreasing inequality and poverty might we then improve educational outcome."
Obtaining higher education seems like a pretty good way to break free of poverty, but Hilliar said it doesnât always work out quite so well.
"People go and get the education, but then they become saddled with enormous amounts of debt. They donât get the kinds of jobs that they initially think that theyâre going to get and it doesnât work the way that we think it works."
So what then? Hilliar said his answer classifies him as something of a Marxist because class, he said, is a social problem, not an individual one that needs to be addressed collectively.
"You address social inequality. Thatâs what you address. You address economic disparity. Thereâs so much attention in the media and everywhere. And people talk about jobs and jobs and jobs and itâs right to do that because jobs are important. What you donât hear anybody talking about, rarely hear anybody talking about, is kinds of jobs. What kinds of jobs are people getting? Kinds of jobs that provide livable incomes. Kinds of jobs where youâre not a slave. Kinds of jobs where you have opportunities to have an active, leisurely lifestyle. Thatâs the crisis in America as far as Iâm concerned."
Other examples used in Hilliarâs talk included reality television shows like Sweet 16 and MTVâs Cribs. Though he used those as examples of misclassified class; rather they portrayed luxury and fame. Hilliar said class is not all about what a person owns or how much they make and again emphasized, itâs about social status.

Three Hot Actors Join Chris Colfer's 'Struck By Lighting' Flick
Chris Colfer (Kurt) may be leaving Glee at the end of Season 3, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a bright future. Just check out the cast that will star in his screenwriting debut, Struck By Lightning.
Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, and Modern Family's Sarah Hyland will co-star opposite Chris and Allison Janney in the teen coming-of-age film, which will be told in flashback after Chris's character... well, it's a spoiler alert, but let's just say the title is pretty literal.
Production is under way now; look for Lightning in theaters next year.

"Deborah Martin is blessed with a technique that allows her to portray space and the things in it with a quavering, almost feverish luminosity as she trains her eye on all forms of the American outback.
Martin is probably best known for her paintings of the blasted communities that surround the Salton Sea. But she paints other parts of the California desert as well, and has also painted the rural American south, the nether parts of Cape Cod, and other places in this country where society dissolves and individuals find solitude whether or not they seek it.
What interests Martin – whose pictures are full of human presence but devoid of humans – is not the mundane or the abject, but how habitation seems only to amplify the emptiness of the land itself. In this respect she extends Edward Hopper's lonely realms into the context of "new topographic" photography".
Peter Frank, Los Angeles
"While Martin has been compared to Truro's Edward Hopper and Maine's Andrew Wyeth, her brushwork has an open, flowing spontaneity; still, her subject has much in common with painters whose melding of landscape and structure offer a template for isolation and separation.
Martin's paintings share Hopper's sense of mystery: scenes tiptoe close enough to their off-balance subjects without intruding. In the desert paintings, Martin's interest is what is lost when hardscrabble land attracts a developer's eye; in her "Narrow Lands" series, a soft palette intimates the loss of the built environment, abandoned or gentrified into oblivion."
Susan Rand Brown, Provincetown
"Walt Whitman wrote in the preface to the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass, "The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it." This theme manifests throughout the work of Deborah Martin who conveys the essence inherent within marginalized communities that exist on the fringes of American society...In the same vein as Whitman, Martin's strength lies in her objective point of view, which she uses to expose what Peter Frank describes as the "unselfconscious attitudes of strange places where people have made themselves comfortable.".
Anise Stevens, Los Angeles

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Some University of Iowa students have their hands full with the tax filing deadline coming up on April 15th.
U of I accounting students saw a steady flow of people at the Iowa City Public Library, asking for help on filing federal taxes, Sunday.
It's a free service for people who can't afford professional help. The students are with the *Beta Alpha Psi Accounting Fraternity* and call the program "VITA" or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance.
"It's my chance right now as a student to kind of take what I'm learning in the classroom and turn around and give back to the community," Beta Alpha Psi President, Nick Hestbech said.
We're told all of the students will become certified in the fall. Organizers says people can only use the service if their income is below $52,000.
There are still a handful of chances to get help from the student volunteers. We've posted a link under the newslinks section of KCRG.com with more information.

Kadin calls for govt support to develop green business
- Details
- Category: Renewables
The Indonesian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) says it wants greater support from the government to develop pro-environmental "green" business practices in Indonesia.
Kadin vice chairwoman for the environment and climate change Shinta Widjaja Kamdani said in Jakarta on Tuesday that no concrete action had been taken to support green business programs despite discussions within the government.
Shinta said the situation had been exacerbated by government regulations that often hindered corporate plans to set up green business models, despite greater awareness among business stakeholders on the importance of green business.
"I feel bad for companies that are ready and willing to invest in green business but aren't able to do so because of regulations," Shinta said during a conference on green business on Tuesday.
One thing that the government could do was to give incentives to companies to contribute to sustainable development, said Sinta, who is also the president of Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD), which aims to boost eco-friendly business practices.
"There is also a need for better coordination, not only between the government and the private sector, but also within government bodies themselves," she told The Jakarta Post, adding that the IBCSD had set up a working group to bridge the gap between the private sector and the government.
Meanwhile, PricewaterhouseCoopers Indonesia technical advisor on sustainability and climate change Rob Evans urged executives to take the initiative to adopt green business models.
"We shouldn't be waiting for the government to help us because that wouldn't be a good business model," he said.
"We should be setting the direction and asking the government to follow us," he said at the conference titled "International Conservation in cooperation with Prasetiya Mulya business school, the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) and Medco Energi International".
Sita said that such direction has been set up by IBCSD in the form of a business plan called "Indonesia Vision 2050", which contains a framework for issues that needed to be addressed by executives to develop a sustainable economy.
Indonesia Vision 2050's goal is to minimize waste, increase low-carbon access in remote areas, develop energy-efficient infrastructure, increase food security and make the green economy into a major contributor to Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP).
The road map, set into motion earlier this year, involves participation from the private sector and will be communicated constantly to the government, according to Shinta.

At the World Geothermal Energy Summit (4-5 July 2012, Le Meridien Jakarta), we link up regulators, capital, projects and technology for a more synergised development, given the recent proposed positive changes to Indonesia's price policy and other governing regulations, during this historic wave of geothermal development in Indonesia.
As part of its carbon strategy, the Indonesian Government has a guaranteed feed-in tariff of US$97 per megawatt hour, plus carbon credits, to geothermal energy generators – providing investment certainty for renewable energy projects High-level delegates and speakers include: Karen Agustiawan, CEO, Pertamina, Udibowo Ciptomulyono, Chief Commissioner, PLN Geothermal, Mr Patrick Nyoike, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Energy Kenya, Dr Ir Djadjang Sukarna, Secretary General, Renewable Energy, Ministry of Energy Indonesia, Slamet Riyadhi, President Director, Pertamina Geothermal, and more!

MC Kenny Wingle

Hi, how's everybody doing? My name
is Chris Martin. The good news for Michael Vick: he's been conditionally
reinstated by the National Football League. The bad news: one of the conditions
is that he be paid entirely in kibble.
Manson family member Squeaky Fromme
was released from prison. In related news, Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, Happy,
Bashful, and Grumpy Fromme were denied parole.
It's the fortieth anniversary of Woodstock.
They're having a reunion concert billed as "Three Days of Peace, Music and Hip
An official autopsy report says
that cocaine use contributed to the heart disease that killed TV salesman Billy
Mays. Stay away from the brown acid and the Orange Blo.
There are several theories as to why Russian
submarines are patrolling off the U.S. east coast. One is that
they're looking for the best deal in the "Cash for Clunkers' program.
Another is that they're there to back up Vladimir Putin's demand that Paula
Abdul be reinstated as a judge on "American Idol." Still another is
that they got tired of Sarah Palin waving to them from their front porch in Alaska.
Sarah Palin's got everybody worked up about "death
panels." I don't listen to someone on health care who can't even keep her own
daughter from getting knocked up. When Darth Vader is named secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services, I'll start worrying.
My dentist has two practices, one in Richmond and one in Fredericksburg.
His name on Twitter is FredDentist. For some reason, he doesn't want to be
known as RichDentist.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il declines Bill
Clinton's offer to swap Hillary Clinton for two imprisoned journalists.
Instead, he trades them for Monica Lewinsky and a box of Cuban cigars. "I
may be Kim Jong Il but I'm not Kim Jong Stupid," he says.
According to a newspaper, Clinton's
visit to North Korea
raises more questions about the health of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. The dictator may suffer from pancreatic
cancer, diabetes and strokes. If he gets any sicker, he'll have to change his
name to Kim Jong Dead.
Hillary Clinton is irked when a Congolese student asked
her about her husband's position on international affairs. You can insert you
own joke here. Yeah, the difference is that Hillary is traveling the world
searching for peace while Bill is traveling the world looking for a piece.
The Marines are looking for a few good men. I'm
looking for a few good ideas. Spraying Axe on your butt crack - not a good
idea. Mixing Scotch and Mescaline – not a good idea. Walking around Charlottesville with a
t-shirt that reads, "The Dave Matthews Band, tomorrow's elevator music today" –
not a good idea. A Biblical porn movie called "Moses and the Burning Bush" –
not a good idea. He-brew, the Kosher beer for people who want a little whine
with their beer – not a good idea.
That's my time. My name is Chris Martin. Thank you
very much.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – An abduction attempt of a 5-year-old boy was stopped by the boy's father Tuesday in southwest Cedar Rapids, police said.
The boy was riding his bicycle on a sidewalk in the 7500 block of Kirkwood Boulevard SW around 5:30 p.m. when a white 1990s Chevrolet Astro van pulled over next to him. A man and a woman got out, grabbed the boy and the bike and started leading him toward the van, police said.
"They had grabbed ahold of him by the arm or shoulder, and the woman was getting the bike," Sgt. Cristy Hamblin said.
Police said the boy's father, who was on a motorcycle just down the street, saw the incident and yelled at the two suspects, who then let go of the boy, got back in the van and drove south.
Police were not notified of the incident until about three hours later.
The incident came one week after a suspicious incident with a man in a white van near Linn-Mar High School in Marion. On the afternoon of July 24, a man was stopped at an intersection on 10th Street when he asked a 14-year-old boy on a bike if he wanted some candy, police said.
Lt. Scott Elam said no physical contact was made, and the boy immediately took off on his bike. Police said they are unsure if there is any connection between the incidents in Marion and Cedar Rapids.
Elam said the highly publicized case in Evansdale, where police believe two cousins were abducted on July 13, has heightened awareness about potentially suspicious activity.
"I think everybody's a little on edge about that," Elam said.
Only a few abduction attempts are reported in Cedar Rapids each year, Hamblin said. She said arrests are extremely rare, usually due to a lack of descriptive information.
Hamblin said the father in Tuesday's incident did a great job identifying the make and model of the van, and physical descriptions of the suspects. Other clues, such as license plate information, can be helpful in an investigation.
"There isn't one specific piece of information that's most important," Hamblin said. "It's just getting as much information as possible."
Police said the person who grabbed the boy was a white man in his 30s, about 5-foot-8 and 120 pounds, with short brown hair. The white female suspect was in her 20s, with a thin build and shoulder-length brown hair. She had a tattoo hear her left thumb. A third person, who was driving the van, was a white man with a larger build wearing glasses.
A police investigator was at the father's house Wednesday afternoon and said the man did not want to talk to reporters.
Police were planning to notify school districts about the incident to take advantage of parent networks, even though most schools are not in session. Emails already had been circulating between parents early Wednesday morning.
Hamblin said parents should educate their children about what to do if they are approached by a stranger.
"This isn't something people should be afraid of," Hamblin said. "You just need to be aware."

Final Score: Providence 72, UNC-Asheville 67
Bayamon, PR (Sports Network) - Bryce Cotton erupted for a game-high 30 points as the Providence Friars slipped by the Bulldogs of UNC-Asheville, 72-67, in the seventh-place game of the 2012 Puerto Rico Tip-Off at Coliseo Ruben Rodriquez.
Cotton connected on 11-of-19 shots from the floor, adding five rebounds and five assists for the Friars (3-2) in the victory. Kadeem Batts and LaDontae Henton both registered double-doubles for the unit as they each scored 15 points, the former pulling down 11 rebounds and the latter 10 boards.
The Bulldogs (1-4) were paced by Trent Meyer who tallied 20 points, while Jeremy Atkinson posted 16 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, but shot just 6- of-20 from the floor on the day. Keith Hornsby tacked on 10 points and six boards.
Providence made just 2-of-7 shots behind the three-point line in the first half, yet the team still made good on an impressive 56.0 percent from the floor overall in the frame, en route to a 32-24 advantage at the break.
In the second half the lead ballooned to 13 points early on for the Friars, but the Bulldogs didn't roll over thanks to Atkinson who himself had 10 points, seven boards and four steals in the period, but it simply wasn't enough.
Providence finished the day shooting 55.1 percent from the field which helped to compensate for just 12-of-21 accuracy at the free-throw line and 20 turnovers.

Cherub Decorations:
Cherubs, sometimes known as cherub angels, are beautiful winged creatures, celestial beings associated with the Kingdom of God. Often noted to be guardian spirits, cherubs or cherubims as they are also sometimes called, have been widely represented in all religions. In the Book of Ezekiel, cherubs hold the throne and chariot of God. In other Christian literature, these celestial angel beings are noted be guardians of the Garden of Eden and were placed at the gates of the Garden to prevent humans from re-entering and thus gaining access to the Tree of Life. Cherubs were often depicted with wings and hence occasionally associated as angels.
The depiction of the cherubs in Roman and Greek art abound. Cherubs in the 14-15th century Greek and Roman literature relate to a beautiful, pudgy and rosy winged child figure with wings known as a putto and have formed the basis and motif for many of the beautiful paintings and works of art we admire today.
Our choice of cherub decorations are intended to create a unique cherub theme for the home and garden. This catalog attempts to highlight some unique cherub decor. Please be sure to visit our Cherub Statues catalog for more cherub figurines and cherub statues as well as cherub planters.

American Idol
Who Is Phillip Phillips? American Idol Season 2012 Contestant Bio
Phillip Phillips, the boy so talented his parents named him twice. This 21-year-old American Idol Season 11 contestant grew up in Sasser and Leesburg, Georgia, and made it all the way to his season's finale. It was in his Savannah audition, when Phillip performed an animated rendition of Stevie Wonder's hit, "Superstition," that the judges first took notice, but they weren't the only ones. It's safe to say that America fell in love with him right then and there.
According to Albany Uncovered, Phillip started playing music when he was 14, and is a frequent performer in Albany, Georgia, gigging with the band G&S or with his younger sister. In addition to singing, Phillip also plays the bass, piano, and drums. Phillip names Dave Matthews, Johnny Lang, Mumford & Sons, and Tool among his musical influences.
With unconventional taste like that, he made some bold song choices during his time on Idol. Some, like Dave Matthews Band's "The Stone" or Matchbox 20's "Disease," didn't go over so well the judges. But his gamble on lesser-known tunes like Damien Rice's "Volcano" definitely helped launch him into the finale show. Not that the Season 11 heartthrob ever lacked support from voters! He was the only contestant to never have touched the Bottom 3 or 2 during the show. Plus, he's even captured the hearts of celebs like Julianne Hough (never mind that she's the girlfriend of Idol host Ryan Seacrest).
But American Idol certainly wasn't been an easy road for Phillip: He was plagued with kidney problems during his time on the show. Despite the pain he's was in, Phillip soldiered through and even underweent surgery after the finale show.
Pitted against pint-sized diva Jessica Sanchez in the Top 2, it was difficult to choose between the two formidable finalists. But Phillip's performance of the original song "Home" during the first half of the Idol finale all but proved that he had a serious chance of taking home the crown.
On May 23, 2012, a record 132 million votes declared Phillip the winner of American Idol Season 11! He reprised his winning song at the end of the finale but teared up before finishing the song. As the backing band continued playing the closing strains of "Home," Phillip left the Idol stage to hug his family in the audience. It was an emotional end to a long yet worthwhile journey for the talented singer.
Since his big win, Phillip released his debut album, The World From the Side of the Moon, and has been performing around the country. And if you're curious if he has a girlfriend (and we know you are), the answer is... click here!

Real estate developer CIM Group Inc. has built a reputation as a big-city turnaround artist, transforming dreary business districts from downtown Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., with pricey loft apartments, trendy retailers and leafy pedestrian malls.
Founded in 1994 by two Israeli immigrants and an investment banker who once worked with junk-bond king Michael Milken, CIM has made its mark on some of the more recognizable developments in Southern California, including Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade.
Along the way, Hollywood-based CIM has secured billions of dollars in pension fund investments and tens of millions of dollars in public subsidies -- chiefly by locating many of its projects in struggling neighborhoods where grants, loans and other forms of taxpayer help were readily available.
In recent weeks, its voracious appetite for public investment landed CIM in the public spotlight.
Recently released documents show that CIM paid former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Alfred J.R. Villalobos nearly $16 million in fees for securing investments from the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement System.
CIM has not been accused of any wrongdoing, but CalPERS officials said they were unaware of the amounts CIM and others had paid to Villalobos and other so-called placement agents, who lobby pension funds on behalf of big money managers. CalPERS officials have also hired an outside law firm to determine whether the fees and investments were proper.
CalPERS has a $466-million balance in a CIM fund initially pitched by Villalobos, and over the last decade has agreed to invest nearly $1.9 billion with the company.
In Los Angeles, meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission has asked former Fire and Police Pensions board member Elliott Broidy to disclose his communications with CIM and other firms, according to court documents.
Broidy pleaded guilty Dec. 3 to a felony corruption charge in New York, admitting that he paid $1 million in gifts to public pension officials there to win $250 million in investment capital for his private equity fund.
While on the Los Angeles board, Broidy voted in 2007 to invest $30 million in CIM. At that time, CIM had $500,000 invested in Markstone Capital Partners, a fund that Broidy managed. CIM said the investment was personally staked by the company's principals, not pension money.
Fire and Police Pensions board President George Aliano said he was not aware of the relationship between Broidy and CIM until recently, and criticized CIM for not disclosing it. "For me, it will be difficult to invest in them" in the future, Aliano said.
Executives at the company, which employs 200 workers, declined to be interviewed for this article but answered some questions in writing.
In a statement, CIM said it had provided state pension officials "ample disclosures concerning its use of placement agents" such as Villalobos and did not want to distract from the ongoing investigations.
The company did not address Aliano's complaints, but said it had been "a pioneer in the adaptive reuse of California downtown real estate to meet the demands of a nationwide trend toward urban living."
CIM's growing list of projects and properties includes the Ralphs supermarket in downtown Los Angeles, the Lady Luck Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and downtown renewal projects from Anaheim to San Jose.
"They were in the Hollywood market before most of the players went there. They were in Santa Monica before the Third Street Promenade took off. They have been ahead of the curve," said Bob Safai, a commercial real estate broker with Madison Partners.
CIM's founders first met by chance in 1987 when two friends from Israel -- Shaul Kuba and Avi Shemesh -- showed up at the home of Richard Ressler to talk about landscaping his property.
Shemesh and Kuba both grew up in Herzliya, a city outside Tel Aviv. They served in the same brigade of the Israeli army and arrived in the United States at the same time. By the 1980s, Shemesh had a landscaping and contracting company and Kuba had an electrical business.
Ressler, who holds a law degree and MBA from Columbia University, had spent part of that decade handling mergers and acquisitions for Drexel Burnham Lambert, the firm made famous by Milken.
