Nick Cannon is sharing to the world his health issues by premiering a new online documentary-style series called "NCredible Health Hustle" via his website. The weekly web series will document his ups and downs, as well as his setbacks and triumphs in dealing with his illness.
In the first episode debuted on Monday, April 2, 2012 Mariah Carey's husband narrates, "A few days ago, I was with my family in the snow, playing, having a good time. All of a sudden, I started swelling up, having shortness of breath, excruciating pain in my right side. I wake up in the hospital, a bunch of doctors telling me I've got kidney failure." The next footage show him in hospital where he was taken when having a kidney failure in January. I would like to see this positive show picked up.

New Delhi; July 8th 2016: India's first ever multi-city marathon event 'The Great India Run' has roped in ticketing giants bookmyshow.com to help manage the registrations for the event. The event which is conceptualised by ProSportify in association technology start-up Mobiefit has been receiving an overwhelming response all across the six states that fall on its route. The 1480 km long running event starts on the 17th July 2016 from New Delhi and Ghaziabad simultaneously and passes through Gurugram, Jaipur, Ahmedabad culminating on the 6th August 2016 at Mumbai. The overwhelming response that the event has received compelled ProSportify to add a special pit stop in Silvassa which will be only covered by celebrity runner Milind Soman and a few local runners.
The Great India Run which aims to boost running as a sport in the country will feature 15 of the best ultra marathoners from India and abroad passing through six states in the country. Pre selected pit stops of the run will consist of a 5K fun run as well as a 21 Km half marathon. The registrations for both the 'Fun Run' (Ghaziabad, New Delhi, Gurugram, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Silvassa, Mumbai) and the 'Half-Marathon' (New Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Silvassa, Mumbai) across venues can be done through bookmyshow.com for a minimal fees of INR 350 & INR 690 respectively.
Celebrity runners Gul Panag & Milind Soman would also be present for flagging off 'The Great India Run' along with renowned sportspersons from New Delhi on July 17th 2016. The inaugural edition of 'The Great India Run' will see athletes Arun Bhardwaj, Siddharth Choudhary, David Bredo, Yuri Esperson, Meenal Kotak, Ranjana Deopa, Sreekanth Reddi, Melanie Delainey, Dinesh Heda, Joginder Chandna, Pia Hansson, Sunil Sharma, Shweta Sharma, Kaushal Chauhan and Dhanee Kumar going the distance.
ProSportify & MobieFit plan to make 'The Great India Run' an annual event. As the tagline 'Jeet Har Kadam Par' suggests the objective of this event is to build many more athletes for the future with the attitude and determination to win. The event would also contribute to the cause of developing future Olympians every year by donating the revenues to a charitable trust for sports development. The revenue generated from the inaugural edition will be donated to 'Go Sports Foundation' to further the cause of deserving Olympians in the country.

Getting URL Alias For Referenced Entity With RESTful API in Drupal
As documented in a previous post, with RESTful, you can create a separate API endpoint to look up the base node ID from a URL alias for a specific entity. However, there are also URL aliases for other entities that are referenced from within your base entity, such as users and taxonomy terms. We don't want to have to do a separate lookup for each of these entities outside of our base entity, so the ideal situation would be to just have a field returned within our base entity lookup that contains these URL aliases.
As an example, let's say that in our Blog entity, instead of using the built in node creator for the author, we have an entity reference field called Author (field_author) that references users (this gives us flexibility in specifying the content author in allowing us to easily select other names, as well as allowing us to have multiple authors). And, as is typical in Drupal 7, we use term reference fields for taxonomy terms, and since in a decoupled front end we want to display those terms as links, we need that path. We want to be able to get these aliases as fields when we query the Blog node.
The solution to this problem in RESTful is process callbacks (see this video for examples). These work very similar to process callbacks in the Form APi in Drupal; they are simply custom callbacks that can be used to do custom manipulating of field data once it has been retrieved and before it is returned.
The callbacks are added in the field definition in the publicFields function using the process_callbacks key. Here is the definition for a user alias within the Users class:
class Users__1_1 extends Users__1_0 { /** * {@inheritdoc} */ protected function publicFields() { $public_fields = parent::publicFields(); ... $public_fields['alias'] = array( 'property' => 'uid', 'process_callbacks' => array( array($this, 'getAlias') ) ); return $public_fields; } public function getAlias($value) { return drupal_get_path_alias('user/' . $value); } }
Things to note in this code:
- The property is the data that you need to have to get the alias, and in this case it is the user id (uid).
- We define the callback name as an array with the $this reference as the first item because we are making the callback a member function in this class. If the function were placed elsewhere (such as a .module or .inc file) or is a regular PHP function, we would just pass the function name.
- The $value argument that is passed to the callback is the value of the field defined in the property key; in this case, the uid.
We just call drupal_get_path_alias() and pass it the uid to get the URL alias. This alias is then returned as part of the author member in the JSON object:
{ "type": "users", "id": "123", "attributes": { "id": "123", "label": "Steve Edwards", "self": "http://mysite.com/api/v1.1/users/123", "mail": "firstname.lastname@example.com", "name": "Steve Edwards", "alias": "author/steve-edwards" }
A similar case is a taxonomy term from a term reference field. Here is an example for a Journalists vocabulary:
class Journalists__1_0 extends ResourceEntity implements ResourceInterface { /** * {@inheritdoc} */ protected function publicFields() { $public_fields = parent::publicFields(); $public_fields['alias'] = array( 'property' => 'tid', 'process_callbacks' => array( array($this, 'getAlias') ) ); return $public_fields; } public function getAlias($value) { return drupal_get_path_alias('taxonomy/term/' . $value); } }
This is very similar to the Author example, with the only difference being that we are passing a term id (tid) instead of a user id. The resulting output is the same:
"type": "journalists",
"id": "1938",
"attributes": {
"id": "1938",
"label": "Jake Tapper",
"self": "http://mysite.com/api/v1.0/journalists/1938",
"alias": "journalists/jake-tapper"
As mentioned above, if you are familiar with process callbacks in Form API, then this will look very familiar.
Also, see this wiki page I created in the GitHub repo for RESTful for another example of using process callbacks to add the path for an image style derivative.

Kye Allums | Transgender athlete to still play women's basketball
Kye Allums, a George Washington University student and basketball player, has sparked a controversy. The female-to-male transgendered athlete has been cleared to play women's basketball. The decision was made in cooperation with the NCAA and George Washington University.
Kye Allums transitions to a male identity
Kye Allums was born a female and grew up very much a tomboy. The 21-year-old George Washington University student has said in interviews that he "always felt like a man trapped in a woman's body." Over the last few months, Kye has been transitioning to a male identity. In a statement, the 5′ 11″ guard said "I didn't choose to be born in this body and feel the way I do."
Kye Allums to play in NCAA women's basketball
Kye Allums originally started playing NCAA women's basketball for George Washington University on a scholarship. Kye still wishes to compete in basketball, though his transgender identity created a difficult situation for the University and the NCAA. The National Center on Lesbian Rights and Women's Sports Foundation offered guidance to the school. The compromise reached allows Kye Allums, who is still physically female, to continue competing in women's basketball as long as he does not undergo testosterone or drug therapy. Testosterone above what is naturally produced in the body is banned in student athletes, according to NCAA rules.
The difficulty of gender-divided sports
Though Kye Allums is the first transgendered athlete to play in NCAA basketball, this is not the first time the issue has been confronted. The physical gender of Olympic athlete Caster Semenya was under question for years. Lana Lawless, a male-to-female transgender golfer, is suing the LPGA for the right to compete as a professional female golfer. There are some questioning whether the separation of men's and women's athletics should just be done away with. Either way, until sports are all co-ed, the issue of transgendered athletes' physical sex vs. their gender identity will continue to come under debate.

Palm Pre 2 now available in the US, unlocked for $450
The Palm Pre 2 has become available in the US. Not through any carrier (although Verizon is expected to add it to its smartphone lineup at some point in the near future), but direct from HP.
This is the unlocked GSM version of the Pre, and as such won't work on CDMA networks such as Sprint and Verizon. It costs $450, and shipping is within 24 hours.
The launch follows the phone's availability in the UK, where it's also available direct from HP, since no operators there were interested in carrying it.
The Palm Pre 2 comes with the new WebOS 2.0, has a 1 GHz processor and a 3.1-inch HVGA (480×320) display and that trademark vertically sliding QWERTY keyboard.
You can order yours from HP USA here.

The following list is a collection of personal tips and tricks I carried together when I had the need and which I collected here as some kind of personal compendium. As such, most of these tips are rather terse and often are not much more than a collection of references to further reading. However, feel free to contact me directly if you encounter some specific problem when trying to follow one of these tips. Please also contact me whenever you know a better or more correct solution than the one I present below.
IMPORTANT: There's absolutely no guarantee that any of these tips actually works for you and won't eat your data (especially the tips concerning backup solutions and file conversions). Please make sure you backed up all of your important data until you verified that nothing bad will happen when following a given tip.
Over time I collected some tips and
best practices for managing my digital fotos which I found by trial & error and Google research, which proved extremely useful for me and of which I hope will be useful to others as well:
fsvs written and maintained by Philipp Marek (fsvs is an acronym for eg.
File System VerSioning) is an extremely cool tool which allows you to create fully version backups of arbitrary directories, eg. of your whole system or your /home directory. This allows you to retrieve any previous version of any managed file. It uses the popular Subversion version control system (Debian-package: subversion) as its efficient backend storage, but in contrast to pure svn it also stores the file's ownership and access permission information and it does not keep local
shadow copies of the backupped files, so fsvs-managed directories require much less disk space than a normal svn working copy directory.
I use fsvs to manage my whole /home directory.
Here you'll find some tested backup scripts I'm using to keep
life backups (unpacked backups) of some of my servers with a few days of history information. These backup scripts use rsync (Debian-package: rsync) so the backup process is rather quick and usually transfers not much data.
Often your task is to process or convert PDF- and PS-/PostScript documents, possibly even batch processing larger numbers of documents, splitting and (re-)combining the pages contained. This tip introduces tools like pdftk, pdfjam, pdftops and others which make these tasks a snap.
In most cases, if the version control system Subversion's performance is discussed, the topics revolve around the repository backends used (Berkeley DB (bdb) vs. FSFS) and tuning some server software or even hardware parameters.
It seems to be less known that the choice of the server variant used - the Apache Subversion mod_dav_svn module or the standalone svnserve server - have a great impact to measured and perceived subversion performance.
In a synthetic, non-representative benchmark test I performed using Subversion 1.4.5, Subversion 1.1.1 and Apache 2.0, mod_dav_svn's performance was 30% to 400% slower than svnserve's. svnserve's performance was close to local direct accesses to the repository using the svn command line tools.
The most significant performance penalty was measured during
svn log and
svn merge operations against the mod_dav_svn server - you'll notice worse
svn log performance immediately if eg. using the Eclipse Subversion plugin Subclipse.
As svnserve supports virtually the same repository path-based access control features as mod_dav_svn from from subversion 1.3 on, it could prove to be a viable alternative to an Apache based svn server for many projects.
For reference, I publish a rather raw list of my subversion performance measurement results.
Many root-server providers also provide some backup space accessible via FTP. This imposes the question of how one can upload his encrypted backups in the most efficient way. (The FTP server is a foreign machine accessible via an insecure, unencrypted link from which both your data and your login credentials can be retrieved by unauthorized parties - so, you're encrypting your backups, right? ;)
CURL-FTP-FS is a FUSE (Filesystem in UserSpacE) -based FTP filesystem implementation which allows simple mounting of remote FTP servers just like local volumes. In theory, this reduces the whole
incremental upload problem to a simple
cp -dRuv --preserve=timestamps /local/backupdirectory /mnt/ftp_server_mountpoint/ - in practice, I soon noticed that curlftpfs loads each file completely into RAM before uploading it to the remote site (This is true as of May, 2007, curlftpfs version 0.9). This can kill a whole machine and everything blows up even if the machine survives as soon as one of the files to be uploaded exceeds a size of 1GB.
However, curlftpfs may be the appropriate solution if you'd like to have read access to your backup space using standard UNIX tools. You can measure your backup space usage using
du --summarize this way, for example.
mirrordir mirrors - just as its name suggests - a directory tree to another location, as accurately as possible. Both the mirror source as well as the mirror destination may reside on local disks or at remote FTP servers. mirrordir does not seem to have major problems with huge files, provided that you have sufficient space in your TMPDIR, as mirrordir first created a temporary copy of a file before its uploaded. ;)
A command line to upload your backups may look as follows:
TMPDIR=/var/tmp/ mirrordir /local/backupdirectory ftp://email@example.com/backup/. As usual, your FTP login credentials should be placed in your
~/.netrc file. However, you need to specify your FTP username within the URL anyway, for some strange reason.
Internally, mirrordir utilitzes GNU Midnight Commander's virtual file system layer for file access. I've currently settled on mirrordir for uploading my encrypted daily backups to the Hetzner backup FTP server.

Nøught's debut album is the outcome of a three year attempt to pin down an enormously diverse body of work that encompasses bold innovations in guitar based music and tethers them to various orchestral arrangements. While the live Nøught experience is genuinely about kicking down the boundaries accepted as rock music, the studio has allowed the group, an instrumental power trio, to express its vision on different terms. To this end, you will find strings, brass and woodwind but also less conventional media such as sitar, zitherharp, powerdrill and an array of domestic implements, complementing the already full-bodied sound.
The album opens with The Fans, in which we hear a lone guitar beckon the other players into melding a recognisable structure, which sets to music the regrets and resentments of an atheist evangelist as he rails against the church on his deathbed. As his grievances build-up before he meets his maker, so do the instruments and his non-verbal diatribe paves the way for the tone of the ensuing 50 minutes.
Nøught I is the first piece of music that the band wrote and is the signature tune to every performance it has played. A call to arms, it started off as a twenty-minute epic but has now become the band's second shortest song at one minute and fifty three seconds. The shortest is its sister companion piece, Nøught II, at one minute and forty one seconds. The third and final Nøught piece however, Nøught III, not on the album, is the beginning of a completely different twenty-minute epic.
Cough Cap Kitty Cat is the most frequently played Nøught song on the radio and was the band's first single. This newly recorded version details the elation of a gesticulating mute as he robs a well to do inebriate, who has dropped off to sleep in transit, of an expensive Stetson hat on a nightbus from
On an entirely different theme, Redrag, a paean to soul-destroying warehouse work typifying the despair drudgery provokes, was the band's second single and remains a live favourite. Another newly recorded version, the bassline required so many retakes that the usually very placid recording engineer, at the end of his tether, begged the band to leave it as it was, because he feared the volume necessary to achieve the desired tone would wreak irreparable structural damage to his studio. His pleas fell on deaf ears!
Goddess Awakes, a trilogy, charts the getaway from a bloodbath intended to have been the last big bank heist of a down-at-heel felon. Part I, The Tricks Of Strangers, describes his escape from inner city to docklands, pausing briefly to hide out in a disused warehouse where he reflects on his life of violent crime, only to realise that his 'shot at the big time' was in fact a set-up by those who would wish him out of the picture. With no hope in sight and the police closing in, he steals a speedboat in a last ditch attempt to escape doing time. Pursued as far as
Stain Stones recalls days of heady mischief in
All The Time Ha-Ha! is a "brief laugh-tale" about a lifestyle for those in the know, an unending and ever increasing state of intense hilarity. A condition not shared by the horn section which took eleven days to fulfil its obligations on what was temporarily dubbed "The Impossible."
As the title suggests, Heart Stops Twice charts the terminal progress of an inveterate alcoholic who is ordered by a bowl of soup to pinch his wife's last savings, escape the hum-drum of his life and embark on a colossal drinking binge. This he does with his friends in his local bar, only for them to turn on him and beat him up and kick him out when the coffers run dry. At this point cardiac arrest ensues and while he is unconscious, thieves rifle his pockets for anything of worth. On waking he discovers that not only is he penniless, but has also let himself go and he spends the day begging for a lifesaving drink. Finally, bereft of luck or hope and wheezing, the heaviest breezeblock in history crashes down on his chest, cramming the remainder of his life into a massive second and fatal coronary on a park bench. As we leave his frozen body, his wife ponders what hour of the night he'll decide to drag himself back.
After the brevity and vigour of Nøught II, Ignatius chooses to alert us to the evil that men do to others and themselves. Its central character is a sad man vying for popularity and spreading his own myth, eulogising himself as a legendary hellraiser. His efforts to impress by swift exits in taxis from drawn out and depraved encounters fall on stony ground and his acquaintances turn their backs for good. He vows to avenge himself the only way he knows how. By daubing his pseudonym and what was tantamount to "something he had been toying with for quite sometime" in gaudy red paint on the living room wall of the house of the girlfriend he had driven into an asylum, he inaugurates a lengthy period of anomie. However, due to the small-time nature of his endeavours he rapidly create a semi-permanent kingdom of one before being bundled into official exile via the tradesman's entrance. The day that he left did not weigh heavily on our consciences to say the least. Towards the end of the piece the sounds of bells ringing out represent the celebrations at the end of the conflict between Ignatius and our kind. The twenty guitar chorus that is the climax of both this piece and indeed the album heralds the sound of better days arriving.

Paint your Home Choosing Color Shade from Designer Palette
There can be several reasons to get your home re-painted using paints color. The most common reason can be breaking away the monotony of the existing colour theme. By getting the home re-painted you escape the much tedious process of remodeling the home. Whereas, to remodel the house you either need to change the old furniture or you need to modify the existing structure.
To remodel the house is not only a tedious process but you also need to spend a lot. Therefore it is better to use paints products and get the house re-painted. There is a wide range of colour shade to choose from depending upon your specific choice. Moving away from the two color themes you can use multiple colour to re-paint your house. You can choose to get different parts of your house painted in different themes.
You can choose some dark shades and cozy colors for your bedroom. The roof of your bedroom can be painted in night sky color thereby giving you the feel of sleeping under the sky, with stars twinkling all around. Similarly, for your bathroom you can choose from various shades of the sea. The study, dining hall and every other part of your house can be re-painted to make them more inviting.
The exterior of the home also needs to be re-painted to match to the overall theme. However, while getting it re-painted there are several things that you need to be taken care of. The shade and the paints color should be a match to the overall theme. Secondly, you also need to pay attention to the fact that after re-painting, your home do not start looking alien to the neighborhood.

LONG BEACH — A pretrial hearing for two Long Beach brothers accused of using a bat to assault a city-league umpire during a softball argument was postponed last week until Jan. 22 so lawyers can have more time to prepare for trial, Deputy City Prosecutor John Fentis said.
A new trial date will be set at that time, Fentis said. The trial was to begin Dec. 18.
Greg Sinsun, 19, and Benito Sinsun, 20, who are both charged with a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon, are free on $2,000 bail. The brothers, who have denied the charge, are accused of beating umpire Hal Smith during a slow-pitch game on Oct. 31. An argument allegedly erupted when Smith threw the younger brother out of the game. After an exchange of words, Smith contends, he was then struck by both Sinsuns during a melee involving several players.
Smith left the field with bruises above his right eye and a severely bruised cheekbone. Long Beach recreation officials have since banned the Sinsuns from ever playing in the city league.

Good Questions: Are The Tiny Holes in My Shirts from Moths?
Hello AT,
I'm not sure if this is a question you'd address on your site, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
3 of my shirts have turned up recently with what appears to be moth holes in them. Small, uneven holes in the middle of the garment. The thing is, I haven't seen any moths or signs of moths in the apartment. I do my laundry myself, so I don't think it's happening in the wash...
Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to:
Link To All Good Questions
One of the shirts was brand new and had not been washed yet, so I know that wasn't the case with that one. I take pretty good care of my clothes, so I don't think I could have inadvertently ripped them myself and not noticed.
Has this ever happened to anyone before? What do people do to ward off clothes-eating moths besides those horrid smelling moth balls?
Thanks! Julia
Dear Julia,
We can't say for sure, but we do know that we have gotten moth holes in our clothing WITHOUT ever seeing moths. Somehow they can do their work and not fly around in front of your eyes. Perhaps they come in the night...
We vaguely remember that someone once told us that its the moth babies who make the holes and when they fly that is much later on.
Does anyone have more info???
Aside from that, we use CEDAR blocks in our closet which are much nicer than moth balls and seem to work well when fresh.

Delays jeopardise $400m Bass Strait gas project
Page Tools
A multimillion-dollar dispute between energy giant Origin Energy and engineering group Clough has cast doubts over the future of the $400 million BassGas project off the Victorian coast, amid speculation that gas from the Yolla field in Bass Strait may be substandard.
Clough, which is contracted to build all offshore infrastructure as well as an onshore gas plant at Lang Lang, has said it is facing claims for "liquidated damages" from Origin over delays in the completion of the upstream portion of the project.
But Clough said it was confident the damages claim - estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars - will fail as the delays were largely the fault of Origin.
Originally due to come onstream by the end of the month, BassGas is unlikely to start production before November at the earliest.
"A key reason for non-achievement of that milestone is that the client has yet to complete its offshore drilling campaign and provide gas suitable for introduction into the development," Clough said.
Origin and its partners are drilling the second of two development wells at Yolla, 140 kilometres off the Victorian coast. But Clough is believed to have raised concerns about the Yolla gas last month, when it received preliminary results from the first development well.
There were concerns that gas from Yolla failed to comply with the specifications set out in the project's supply contract with Origin's retail arm, which is contracted to buy all of the 20 petajoules of gas a year that the project is expected to produce. Twenty petajoules represents about 10 per cent of Victoria's consumption.
This contract is believed to specify acceptable levels of contaminants, as well as the required levels of methane and other compounds. If the gas fails to meet the contractual specifications, it cannot be processed through the plant or sold.
Origin spokesman Wayne Gregory said he could "neither confirm nor deny" that the Yolla gas was substandard.
Development of the BassGas project was considered a priority for Victoria because it could provide a second source of supply independent of BHP/Esso's Bass Strait fields.
The Yolla field, discovered in 1985, is tipped to produce gross revenue from gas and liquid sales of $1.5 billion over 15 years.
Origin is operator of the BassGas project with 37.5 per cent, while Australian Worldwide Exploration (30 per cent), CalEnergy (20 per cent), and Wandoo Petroleum (12.5 per cent) hold the remainder.

Apparantly it's going to be part of Saints Row 4, not sure of the reasoning behind it though.
(Admin's edit)
|Saints Row: The Third – Enter the Dominatrix Now Part of Something Bigger Than Itself
|Cumulative Awesomeness of Gameplay Experience Can No Longer Fit into Expansion Pack; Enter The Dominatrix Will Be Incorporated into the Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise
THQ Inc. and Volition, Inc. today announced development of the standalone expansion Saints Row: The Third – Enter the Dominatrix will now be incorporated into production of the next great sequel in the Saints Row franchise, tentatively titled "The Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise."
"When I looked at the Enter The Dominatrix expansion in production at Volition, I was blown away by the ideas and desire to expand the fiction of the franchise," said Jason Rubin, THQ's President. "I asked the team what it could achieve given more time, more resources, and a broader scope for the project. We all agreed we wanted to play that game. When it comes to Saints Row, it's clear our fans want bigger, better, and even more over the top, and that's why Enter The Dominatrix will now be incorporated into a vastly expanded, full-fledged sequel, scheduled for calendar 2013."
Added Rubin, "We believe the potential for this sequel is far greater as a full-priced, full-length, high quality, connected experience."

Four aid workers rescued in Afghanistan
Four aid workers including a British woman have been freed by special forces in Afghanistan a month after they were taken hostage.
The aid workers employed by Swiss-based Medair had been en route to flood-stricken parts of Badakhshan province in May when they were kidnapped.
The Briton is Helen Johnston, 27, who lived in Stoke Newington while studying nutrition at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The others were a Kenyan and two Afghans.
"It was a successful operation conducted by troops and all aid workers have been released," said Shamsul Rahman Shams, the deputy governor of Badakhshan.
He said five hostage-takers were killed in the operation late on Friday. Police have said the men demanded money for the release of the group.
The aid workers had been travelling by donkey to visit a clinic in the remote Yawan district of north-eastern Afghanistan, where the road had been destroyed by floods caused by melting snow after one of the worst Afghan winters in decades.
In a statement, Britain's foreign office (FCO) said: "We are pleased to confirm that last night Helen Johnston, a British aid worker, Moragwa Oirere, a Kenyan aid worker, and two Afghan aid workers who were abducted in Badakhshan Province in north-east Afghanistan on 22 May, were successfully rescued.
"All four individuals work for Medair, a humanitarian non-governmental organisation based in Switzerland. They are all now safe. Helen and Moragwa are receiving support from British embassy staff in Kabul. The two Afghan aid workers are returning to their families in Badakhshan.
"Staff from the FCO remain in close contact with Helen's family who are understandably hugely relieved at this news. We are also in touch with Moragwa's family and with the Afghan and Kenyan governments, and Medair have been in close contact with the families of the Afghan aid workers.
"Helen and her colleagues were rescued by Isaf forces, including UK forces, in a carefully planned and co-ordinated operation. This operation was ordered by the commander of ISAF and was authorised by the prime minister. We pay tribute to the bravery of the coalition forces which means that all four aid workers will soon be rejoining their families and loved ones. We have worked closely with the Afghan authorities throughout and we would like to thank them for their support."
Police in Badakhshan said the gunmen belonged to criminal groups taking advantage of the difficult terrain and the loose grip that Afghan security forces have on the area.
The Johnston family, in a statement released by the FCO, said: "We are delighted and hugely relieved by the wonderful news that Helen and all her colleagues have been freed.
"We are deeply grateful to everyone involved in her rescue, to those who worked tirelessly on her behalf, and to family and friends for their love, prayers and support over the last 12 days.
"We greatly appreciate the restraint shown by the media since her abduction, and ask that they continue to respect our privacy at this special time."
The kidnapping of foreigners has become relatively common in parts of Afghanistan since US-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban government in 2001.
British woman Linda Norgrove was killed during a rescue attempt that went wrong in October 2010.
Also in 2010, 10 foreign medical workers, including six Americans, were killed in Badakhshan in an attack blamed on insurgents.
Afghan forces have taken over security in the provincial capital, Faizabad, and some other parts of Badakhshan ahead of the withdrawal of western combat forces in 2014.

Mumford & Sons' Babel tour is winding down, but the band isn't slacking yet. For their Gentlemen of the Road stopover festival in St. Augustine, Florida, on Saturday night, they surprised fans with guest John Fogerty (along with members of the Vaccines) for a raw set of Creedence Clearwater Revival classics like "Proud Mary," "Down on the Corner," "Born on the Bayou" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" "My personal highlight was getting to play cowbell on 'Down on the Corner,'" says Mumford keyboardist Ben Lovett. "I've played air-cowbell to that so many times while DJ'ing at friends' parties. His voice right now is incredible. When he started singing those songs, it sounded exactly like 43 years ago."
Where Does John Fogerty Rank on Our 100 Greatest Singers List?
The set came together at the last minute when previously-scheduled fun. were forced to drop out after doctors told singer Nate Ruess to rest his voice. "That was obviously hugely disappointing news," Lovett says. "There were already thousands of people in St. Augustine. We had 24 hours literally to lock in someone at the last minute." They soon thought of Fogerty, who had once reached out to the band about recording together. "By five that evening, he was on a plane [from L.A.], flew through the night, and arrived in Florida on Saturday morning, at which point we were rehearsing."
Fogerty joined them for a four-hour rehearsal that day in a production trailer. "He said something along the lines of 'It's all in the groove,'" says Lovett. "The [songs]are very straightforward. It's not so much the content of the songs, but how they're played and performed and that's what makes them good. I think we were doing 'Fortunate Son' or 'Proud Mary' in the rehearsal room and we were just vamping and vamping on an E-major chord while he was doing a guitar solo and it was feeling great and he like, 'That's it. That's all it is.' It was very musical.'"
For Mumford, working with Fogerty was an inspiration in how to go forward in their career. "The guy has sold over 30 million records," says Lovett. "He's one of the most under-praised, underrated heroes in rock history and he was up for tuning his plans for the weekend, getting on a plane out, coming over, having a sleepless night just to play an event with us, which is hugely humbling and inspiring to see the real deal. He didn't want to take one break in rehearsal. He just had one bottle of water by his side and just kept on knocking in through for four hours even though he was going to be performing that evening. He had a better work ethic than anyone we've ever worked with."

Although I live in New Hampshire, I have not spent my entire life here. I was actually born in Manhattan, but because of my dad's job, my family moved to New Hampshire when I was three years old. So honestly, I don't really remember living in the city. But I think I sound tougher when I tell my friends that I'm originally from NYC…I usually exclude the fact that I moved when I was only a toddler and was barely old enough to even eat a slice of pizza. However, I do visit fairly often and I have family in New York, so I have a pretty decent sense of what life is like in the city, and I love it there. Thus, early Saturday morning I found myself on another excursion off campus to NYC!
The humanities program, along with the Multicultural Center, ran a bus-trip to the city that departed campus at 6:00 a.m. and left NYC at 7:00 p.m.. I had pulled together a group of my friends to join me for this adventure, and I was especially excited because most of them had never been to NYC, or had gone when they were too young to remember.
Our day started at the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art at about 11:30, and after that we worked our way through the city in attempts to hit as many major landmarks as possible in the limited amount of time that we had. Following the museum, we journeyed on to Central Park, where we managed to get lost an inordinate amount of times…we ended up walking the same stretch of the park back and forth three times before we finally got back on track. We brushed this first mishap away like it was nothing and carried on towards the Plaza Hotel. In the Plaza we pretended we were elite guests, up until the point when one of the security guards asked us for proof of our room key and we had to admit our true identities.
After leaving the Plaza we hit up 5th Ave (where we made a small scene when we pretended to have seen Kanye West), and then reached Time Square. At this point we were very tired from walking and decided that it was appropriate to reward ourselves with a late lunch. So we stopped for pizza at John's Pizza…honestly the world's best pizza you will EVER eat. I have held to this fact since the age of three when I was able to first comprehend the sentence from my family.
Seeing my friends (who had never been to NYC before) in Time Square was like watching a little kid eat ice-cream for the first time. They initially seemed a little overwhelmed and alarmed, but in near miliseconds these emotions turned to complete eagerness. We walked around the bustling epicenter of the city for a while, practiced haggling with some of the street vendors, and took pictures with a crazy number of people dressed up as Disney and cartoon characters. In fact, there were so many people dressed up as action figures that I heard a little boy ask his mom, "Mommy, why are there so many cars in Disney World?" I couldn't have agreed with him more.
We wrapped our day up with a trip to Magnolia's Bakery for a piece of carrot cake and we stopped by Rockefeller Center. Then we made our way to Saint Patrick's Cathedral where the buses were picking us up. The five hour trip went by very fast, seeing as how we were all beyond exhausted. But honestly, I was so happy that we decided to go. My friends and I had so much fun and it was awesome being able to be with some of them for their first trip to NYC. My friend, Jackie, is already planning a return trip before Christmas time!

Transport truck collides with minivan near Millbank
Seven people were taken to hospital after a collision near Milverton between a transport carrying a full load of gravel and a minivan.
Seven people, including three children and two seniors, were injured in a serious collision Thursday afternoon.
It's the second terrible collision involving a family in a minivan in as many weeks.
Police say a Chrysler minivan was south bound on Perth Rd. 121 approaching Line 67 when a transport truck pulling a full-sized trailer loaded with gravel headed west on Line 67 collided with the driver's side of the minivan.
The impact caused both vehicles to leave the road and end up in a soybean field southwest of the intersection.
All seven occupants of the minivan were injured. The youngest victim is just two-and-a-half months old. The other two children are toddlers.
A boy and an adult man were transported from the scene by helicopter to a London hospital, while the remaining two children and three adults were taken by ambulance to a local hospital. One of the three adults, a 34-year-old man, was later transported to a London hospital for further treatment.
The 23-year-old driver of the transport truck was not injured.
Huron County OPP Const. Jamie Stanley said three passengers from the minivan, two adults and one child, are still in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Cullitons coach Phil Westman was one of the first on the scene. He estimates he was about a minute behind the collision.
"I pulled over and jumped out. The grandfather, who must have been on the passenger side, got three children out right away."
Westman, two children, an infant and a man Westman identified as their grandfather waited for help in the soybean field. The infant was still in the car seat so Westman rocked it to calm the child.
"The two boys wanted their mom. All the firefighters were trying to remove her from the van. They did a good job of that," he said.
"I think the biggest thing when you see a child bleeding from the face is he's probably horrified. Milverton fire and the ambulance (personnel) were so good with all those kids. It's comforting to know how professional they are," he said.
He lauded the courage of the children's grandfather as well. He did what he could to keep them calm, all the while knowing part of his family is still in the van. On top of that, he had been in the collision as well.
"The grandfather was really brave," Westman said.
Westman acknowledged his career in hockey certainly helped him deal with the trauma at the time. It's not the first time he's seen kids injured. However, he couldn't predict the effect seeing those children in the field while their mother was trapped would have a few moments later.
"I was all good and calm and then I went down the road and I kind of broke down. When you see kids and their mother going in different directions (to the hospital) reality sets in.
"You need to love and hug your children everyday because you never know."
This crash is eerily like one that occurred on Embro Rd. on July 20 that sent six children to hospital.
"It's unfortunate," said Perth East fire chief Bill Hunter. "People just need to be aware when they're operating a motor vehicle and be vigilant about other vehicles around them, especially at intersections…People just need to pay attention."
Fourteen firefighters from the Milverton fire department were on the scene and each was debriefed after the incident.
"It's kind of emotional when you've got young children involved," said Hunter, "but the guys did a great job getting the people out."
Hunter said that they were on the scene within five minutes and extricated the three people still trapped in the minivan in 26 minutes.
No charges have been laid, Stanley said, but charges are pending.

This book is also a prequel story for Tempting the Scoundrel!
One enchanted evening.
One irrevocable moment.
Two lives changed forever.
Caroline Gold is desperate to save her family from financial ruin with a proposal from a wealthy duke. But one misstep has her engaged to the wrong man–Richard Walker, the Earl of Aberland, a handsome but cynical rogue with barely a farthing to his name.
Richard spies for the Crown under the guise of a wastrel rogue and seeks revenge for a fallen comrade killed by a notorious villain. Offering for the beautiful Caroline creates an unwelcome distraction. Yet the desire he finds with her makes him wonder if a life–and love–is possible…but only after he claims justice.
Caroline quickly sees there is more to Richard than expected, and his kindness toward her ailing father melts her heart. Yet marrying Richard won't save her family despite the consuming passion she discovers in his arms.
A French spy posing as an English lord is on the loose. Can Richard unveil the man's identity and stop him before he destroys all Richard holds dear, including Caroline?

Falling for the Viscount
Book 6 of The Seven Curses of London
A reckless lady. A reluctant viscount. What will they risk for love?
Spencer Campbell, Viscount Rutland, keeps the world at arm's length by using his analytical skills for British Intelligence. But when he takes his first field mission to stop one of London's worst criminals, he realizes the work is far from black and white. Especially when he comes upon a lady he knows far too well in the middle of his assignment.
Dalia Fairchild is appalled to discover her maid is being lured into a life of prostitution. She does all in her power to stop her, even if that means putting herself at risk. The more Dalia learns about the lives of fallen women, the more determined she is to aid them. Crossing paths with Viscount Rutland during her quest causes her to see him in a new light. The maddening boy she used to know is now a handsome man with a dry wit and heated kisses that make her heart stutter.
Dalia's recklessness drives Spencer crazed, but her genuine concern for the less fortunate has him taking a second look at the lady, as do her big blue eyes and lithe curves. She is not who he thought, and her passion for life—for him—nearly undoes him.
Dalia knows falling for the viscount would be a terrible mistake. Spencer lives by rules she rarely considers. But when the villain they fight puts their lives in jeopardy, both must decide what they're willing to risk for love.

Book 5 of The Seven Curses of London
Labeled as a wicked scoundrel by Society, Elliott Walker, the Earl of Aberland, does nothing to deny the outrageous rumors that blacken his reputation. In truth, he leads a double life, working for British Intelligence both in London and abroad. He's returned home from a lengthy mission to find an unexpected addition to his household, upsetting the careful balance of his secret life and tempting him in ways he never dreamed possible.
Sophia Markham, the daughter of an impoverished viscount whose wastrel ways broke her mother's heart, was raised by her bitter spinster aunt. Sophia knows there are grave consequences to trusting men, especially rogues. When her aunt dies, Sophia finds a position as a companion in London, determined to avoid marriage at all costs.
While Elliott would grant any wish to the grandmother he loves so dearly, he has no choice but to frighten away her beguiling new companion by playing the scoundrel. Having a set of beautiful hazel eyes watching his every move puts his hidden identity at risk.
Sophia is shocked at her attraction to the handsome earl, the exact type of man she's been taught not to trust. But she can't ignore the evidence–or her heart–that suggests there's more to Elliott than meets the eye. Dare she trust him and his kisses? Or are his secrets deadlier than she could ever imagine?

As his lovely and mysterious guest recovers, Tristan is charmed by how kind Grace is–the exact type of person he avoids for fear his temper will crush her. But his efforts to maintain his distance are thwarted by his houseguests as they force him to consider that a gentle spirit might be the perfect antidote to his darkness.
Grace refuses Tristan's efforts to aid her, certain she must stand on her own, especially since the handsome earl is engaged. But her determination isn't enough to keep her son safe.

Coming upon a proper, if rebellious, lady in the desolate area both intrigues and frustrates him.

JournalStar Ideas
Put hard candies or fruity sweets like Starburst into tightly sealed bags. Chocolate freezes very well, and is a great treat for your brown bag lunches. Plus you wont need to use an ice pack to keep your beverage cool.
But do be careful if you eat the candy from the freezer. Let it thaw a little bit otherwise you might crack a tooth.
Chopped or crushed, they add a great flavor to brownies and cookes…even cake batter. Use skittles and other small colored candy to decorate cakes and cupcakes.
Add it to a milkshake like the ice cream chains do, only save the money by making it yourself. Some blenders can handle chopping up the candy like Butterfinger or Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, and some can't and you may need to chop it up a little before blending. And while it's not drinking, you can also use candy as an ice cream topping. If you're really adventurous, you could thaw the ice cream out a little and smoosh in the candy, and then pop it back into the freezer.
Have a science experiment afternoon where you try out different things with the candy. Microwave it and see if it melts. Create a Mentos geyser with a bottle of diet Coke. Find more ideas here
So what will you be doing with your candy?

Miami Heat Intro Video: All of the Lights, Egos, Hypeby Free Britney at . Comments
The Miami Heat aren't exactly trying to play down their star power or title expectations with their 2011-12 intro video, set to "All of the Lights" by Kanye West.
Debuting tonight before the Heat's 115-107 win over the Celtics, the video shows Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, LeBron James & Co. in all their grandiosity.
In a word ... EH. Last year's intro video, set to "In The Air Tonight," just invoked a visceral sense of impending awesomeness, even if you loathe the Heat.
"All of the Lights" is a little underwhelming. Maybe that's a good thing, though. After last year's Finals failure, maybe Miami should let its play do the talking:

You've known this guy for a long time, love hanging out with him and think of him as a friend – and nothing more. But does he have feelings for you? Look out for these signs to suss out the situation:
He's protective of you
When you're out in a group and anyone makes a comment that puts you down, he butts in and defends you – either by changing the subject or directly telling the person how wrong they are. He can't stand for anyone being mean to you and always has your back.
He hates every guy you date
No matter what these guys are like, your male friend always finds reasons to dislike them – and tells you why they're not worthy of you. He voices his opinion – without being asked – about the men you date and none of them are ever good enough for you. It's normal for friends to dislike people their friends date but if he's picking on things about every guy you are with, it's pretty clear he's got a thing for you.
He never talks about other women
Does he ever talk to other women or go on dates? And, if he does hook up with anyone, is he always finding something wrong with them? Unless you know for a fact that he has serious commitment issues, this could be because he doesn't want any other women and is actually waiting for you.
He listens to you
He's not just a mate you go to the cinema with or someone you enjoy catching the hottest bands with. You have proper conversations with him – about anything and everything – and he never complains about having to listen to you talk. In fact, he remembers everything you've told him and reminds you of things you've said or done every now and then.
He's always there
He cancels his plans when you're having a bad day and need a night out or always volunteers to drive you around to run errands all over the island. If he's constantly going out of his way to help you or to make you feel better, he definitely has more than friendly feelings for you.
