Want better sex? Travel more
If the fallout from Valentine's Day is hitting you hard, maybe it's time to take that special vacation you've been planning.
According to a new Valentine's survey commissioned by the U.S. Travel Association, traveling together will improve a couple's sex life.
And not just during the travel period -- the survey found that the romance and better sex enjoyed during travel lasts long after the trip is over.
"Couples who travel together are significantly more likely to report that their relationship is more romantic, more intimate and more balanced," Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, said in news release.
For the survey, Edge Research interviewed 1,100 adults. Some 72 percent of the couples said travel inspires romance, and 63 percent said a weekend getaway is more romantic than receiving large or small gifts.
Approximately 77 percent of respondents who traveled with a significant other reported a good sex life, compared with 63 percent of couples who don't travel as a couple.
"Couples who travel together feel closer to one another and are more likely to report that they are best friends," said Dow.
To that we say: awww …
Do you agree with the survey results? Has travel improved your sex life? Let us know in the comments.

HaMakuya, a village located in the northern part of the Limpopo Province in South Africa, was part of the ex-homeland of the Venda people during the apartheid era, and it suffered extreme levels of underdevelopment. One of the cornerstones of homeland governance during apartheid was to ensure that schoolteaching and learning took place in the language of the homeland—in this case, in TshiVenda. This had two effects desired by the apartheid government: it entrenched ethnic identity and separate development, and it achieved one of the goals of apartheid education. That goal was to undermine the ability of black people to advance themselves because their lack of English-language skills made it difficult to pursue tertiary level education in a country where all university level education is presented and evaluated in English.
Fifteen years after the end of apartheid, the lack of English language skills is still making it difficult for people in rural Venda to chart better lives for themselves. Presently there is no chance that any student in HaMakuya will get good enough grades in the national high school matriculation exam (an exam administered in English) for any sort of meaningful tertiary education. Although there's a bright future for black youth in South Africa who can get an education, for those who can't there is no opportunity of further education or job opportunities to look forward to. In my time in HaMakuya I met a limited number of people who have had a college education or a steady job. However, those individuals are an inspiration to the community and often return from school or work to act as tutors to younger siblings, financial supporters to their extended families or creators of local jobs. These efforts help alleviate the frustrations of feeling unrightfully alienated from their own country.
My project to create an English-learning eco-environmental education center was a response to these circumstances, and to explicit requests made by the community for a resource center that focuses on developing English conversation and comprehension. My hope was that access to resources like Rosetta Stone language-learning software would support individuals interested in developing themselves and their local community.

A $410 million settlement by JPMorgan Chase & Co of alleged manipulation in the power market served the public interest more than an uncertain legal fight to punish individual bank executives, a U.S. regulator has said.
In a reply to lawmakers' questions late last month, the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission wrote that it had to weigh a certain settlement with JPMorgan against the costs and risks of taking the company to court.
Continue Reading Below
And while FERC has sharpened its enforcement tools to curb manipulation in the market, both the regulator and lawmakers have said loopholes remain.
FERC and its sister agency, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, have not yet agreed how to share information, something that is required by the 2010 Dodd Frank law, it said in a separate letter to lawmakers.
FERC blamed the CFTC - the derivatives markets supervisor - for being unwilling to share certain data that is "critical" to fight market manipulation, FERC said in the letter in response to a request from three senators.
The senators had asked the two agencies for an update on how they had improved their cooperation, after the FERC lost a court battle against the CFTC in March over who had jurisdiction to fine a futures trader.
The CFTC said it was still reviewing the letter and would withhold comment for now.
Defending its decision on JPMorgan, FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff said the immediate cash penalty and costs to the bank's reputation were a valuable message to the market that the regulator will not tolerate abuses.
"The Commission concluded that, on balance, acceptance of the settlement containing these substantial, immediate benefits for ratepayers and the public was preferable to jeopardizing those benefits through the considerable delay and uncertainty posed by pursuing actions against individual JP Morgan employees," he said in a letter dated August 26.
FERC alleged that JPMorgan used its position to exploit loopholes in the California and Michigan power markets. Specifically, according to the settlement, JPMorgan would quickly move in and out of the market to make sure that it got payed high rates for operating its power plants at low levels.
In late July, a day after FERC announced its settlement, two Democratic Senators asked whether the regulator could not have gotten more concessions from the Wall Street giant.
"We are concerned about whether the settlement includes adequate refunds to defrauded ratepayers and also concerned that the individual executives who sought to impede the Commission's investigation will not be punished," Massachusetts senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey wrote.
In the settlement paperwork, FERC and the bank acknowledge that JPMorgan's commodities chief Blythe Masters and other executives were briefed on aspects of the power plants that were losing money in operations but earning millions of dollars in profits as parts of energy trades.
U.S. authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into whether JPMorgan employees tried to impede the FERC investigation, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

2 Alaska Officers Killed; Incident Triggers Standoff
Hoonah Police Dept. officers Tony Wallace, left, and officer Matt Tokuoka. Bob Prunella, acting city administrator for the village of Hoonah, says the officers died after a shooting late Saturday, Aug. 28, 2010. (AP)
Associated Press
August 30, 2010
ANCHORAGE, Alaska—A standoff was under way Sunday in a tiny southeast Alaska village after a man fatally shot two of the village's four full-time police officers the night before, then barricaded himself in his home, local officials said.
Hoonah police officers Tony Wallace and Matt Tokuoka died after the shooting late Saturday, said Bob Prunella, acting city administrator. Prunella didn't know what led to the shooting but said it was witnessed by Wallace's mother, who was visiting from Florida, and Tokuoka's wife and children.
The suspect, 45-year-old John Marvin Jr., barricaded himself in his home, and Alaska State Troopers and other law enforcement agencies were at the scene, authorities said.
There was no sign of a quick end to the standoff, Prunella said Sunday evening.
"This could go on for a while," he said. "They really want to get him alive."
Troopers were urging residents in the shoreline community of about 800 to stay away from the area.
"Sadly, two police officers lost their lives. We hope to end this standoff without any further tragedy," Col. Audie Holloway, head of the troopers, said in a statement.
Tokuoka left the home of his father-in-law, George Martin, just before the shooting. The 39-year-old officer was off-duty and had spent the evening there before leaving with his wife and two children, Martin said.
Soon after they left, Martin heard two shots. Wallace went down and Tokuoka told his wife and children to get away and then he was shot as well, Martin said.
"I imagine he was trying to administer help to this other officer when he got hit," Martin said.
Prunella didn't know how Wallace's mother happened to witness the shooting.
Wallace, 32, died during surgery in Juneau, 40 miles east of Hoonah, and Tokuoka died early Sunday at a clinic in the Native village, according to Martin.
"The whole town's in shock," he said. "I've been getting calls all day. It's a bad situation."
Martin said his home is just a block and a half from Marvin's. He didn't know why the officers were ambushed but said police have had run-ins with Marvin in the past. He said Marvin lives alone.
Alaska State Troopers were leading a multi-agency response, and spokeswoman Megan Peters said a warrant was issued for Marvin's arrest. The Coast Guard transported the Juneau Police Department's SWAT team to the village, Peters said.
Prunella said the deaths leave the Tlingit community with just two full-time officers — the police chief and a trainee. He said the southeast Alaska town of Wrangell sent some officers to help out as needed.

But biryanis in restaurants often suffer from fat overload. The rice is usually greasy and so is the sauce. And while all of it tastes pretty good, you get up from the meal feeling like you ate for four instead of one.
That's certainly not the case with my decadent Peas-and-Mushroom Biryani which uses a smidgen of canola oil and a cup of coconut milk. Since the biryani can easily feed at least six people, the amount of fat consumed per person is still very low.
I use mushrooms here because of their robust texture that stands up well to strong spices. And peas are a perfect match to mushrooms, so in they went.
I've had a really long day today, so I am going to shut up now and just let the biryani do the talking for me. Enjoy, everyone!
Vegan Peas and Mushroom Biryani
- 1 1/2 cups Basmati rice , washed and drained
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 4 cloves
- 4 cardamom pods
- 1- inch stick of cinnamon
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cups water
- 1 pound crimini mushrooms , quartered
- 1 cup green peas (I used frozen)
- 3 tomatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 medium onions , thinly sliced
- 1 1- inch piece ginger , grated finely
- 6 garlic cloves , crushed into a paste
- 1/2 cup of cashew pieces and raisins
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut or other vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
- In a spice grinder , grind to a powder, then toast lightly in a dry skillet:
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 3 cardamom pods
- 3 cloves
- 1- inch stick of cinnamon
- In a saucepan, heat the water and add the whole spices and turmeric to it. When the water comes to a boil, add the rice.
- When most of the water is absorbed by the rice, turn the heat to low, cover tightly with a lid, and let the rice cook on low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in another, larger pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Add the sliced onions and saute over medium heat until the onions turn golden-brown.
- Add the ginger and garlic and saute another minute.
- Add the mushrooms and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes have broken down completely.
- Add the toasted spices and stir in.
- Now add coconut milk and peas and salt. Cook another 5 minutes over low heat.
- Now layer the cooked rice on top of the sauce in an even layer. Cover with the lid and cook for about 15 minutes on very low heat.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a saucepan. Add the raisins and nuts and stir until the cashew nuts are lightly browned.
- Garnish the biryani with the nuts and raisins and coriander leaves. You can also garnish with crisply fried onions.
- Enjoy piping hot!

Hubble Sees 'Comet Galaxy' Being Ripped Apart By Galaxy Cluster
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space- based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster's gravitational field and harsh environment.
The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years. The new observations also reveal one mechanism for forming the millions of "homeless" stars seen scattered throughout galaxy clusters.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Anti-Israel propagandists have been so successful in recent decades that today it is possible to publish just about any accusation against the Jewish state and get a critical mass of Internet surfers to buy into the lie. In other words, most people are preprogrammed to believe the worst about Israel.
Evidence that this is true surfaced over the past week or two as a photograph purportedly showing an Israeli soldier standing on the chest of a small Palestinian girl while pointing his automatic rifle at her face became a sensation on popular social networks like Facebook.
Thousands of web surfers viewed the picture with disgust and verbally lashed out at Israel over what they termed as its inhumane treatment of even the youngest and most innocent of Palestinian Arabs.
The only problem was that the photo was not real, or, at least, it wasn't really a photo of an Israeli soldier stepping on a Palestinian girl.
As the photo began to gain in popularity, certain viewers started pointing out that the "soldier" in the photo was not likely Israeli, as his boots and coat were not of the type used by IDF soldiers. Most notably, the "soldier" was holding a Kalashnikov rifle of the type used by Arab armies, not an M16 or M4 rifle, which are the typical weapons of Israeli soldiers.
Days later the original photo went public on the Internet and revealed the truth: the scene was a bit of street theater depicting an Israeli soldier oppressing an Palestinian child. It took place in Bahrain in December 2009.
But the damage was done. And for many, the truth held no interest anyway. They knew Israel was evil, even if the photo was a fraud. Arab blogger Omar Dakhane noted that anyone who tried to point out the fallacies of the photographic "evidence" on Arabic-language Internet forums "was either banned or kicked out."
That is how easy it is to smear Israel these days. And even when the truth eventually comes out, it is far less of a story than the original accusation.
Below are some photos of how most real Israeli soldiers treat Arab children:

Got this at the garage sale in April 2011 and in August 2011 its doing well.
I have a few of these dotted around the garden now. Just took a picture of one of the ones I planted in Novermber 2011 that I got from the garage sale and planted in the back ornamental shade garden, it seems to be doing pretty well really.
There are actually two of these plants, both in the front. As of November they are both doing OK. I was surprised to discover that they actually grow to be massive trees in their own right, I thought they were just little ornamental shrubs. This might explain why it appeared to grow so quickly?
Im getting more into these detail plants. Ive focussed heavily on major movers, trees, palms, massive amounts of Petunia, but now im starting to take an interest in plants that fit into gaps as more decorative pieces like this plant that cost $1. Oddly enough all these $1 garage sale plants are doing really really well, but better than the plants from shops. Maybe thats because they have proven themselves under less than ideal conditions already. Shop plants are often a bit tame and lame in my opinion, too used to the easy life to go the distance in my hardcore jungle garden where only the toughest plants are welcome!!!
I have been looking on the internet and determined that this is probably a Dragon Tree. Apparently these plants can get really big!! I wonder how big it will actually grow?

We're taking a lead in developing and embedding international standards which are recognised throughout the world. These high level standards sit across our profession, providing a common framework for all practitioners.
Collectively, these organisations own the standards which are implemented by each organisation through their own professional guidelines. We are implementing these new international standards through RICS Professional Statements.
RICS is a founding member of four separate coalitions, which are working to create:
Property measurement standards differ drastically around the world. It means that the same building could be up to 24% different in size depending on the standard used. In an interconnected global marketplace this inconsistency leads to confusion and risk for all property owners, occupiers and investors, especially those that operate across borders. Fundamentally it makes analysing property portfolios incredibly difficult.
More than 70 professional and standards bodies, including RICS, make up the IPMS Coalition, which will establish a common standard for measuring property, enhancing transparency and comparability in real estate. IPMS: Office Buildings was published in November 2014. IPMS: Residential Buildings was released in September 2016 and will be followed by versions for industrial and then retail property.
RICS Property Measurement, 1st edition updates the RICS Code of Measuring Practice, 6th edition and incorporates International Property Measurement Standards (IPMS).
The standards used to calculate the cost of construction projects differ markedly throughout the world. In simple terms the 'line items' which make up the project cost total differ depending on where the project is being carried out. This makes it difficult to understand and compare project costs between markets. It also compromises our ability to interpret the social, economic and environmental 'footprint' of a construction project on a consistent basis.
Formed in 2015 the ICMS Coalition totals more than 30 professional and standards bodies from around the world. It is developing and implementing the first international standard for measuring construction costs. It will enhance transparency and help to de-risk investment in construction projects.
Land tenure and ownership rights are a global challenge. Statistics show that some 70% of land and property in the developing world is un-registered and outside of formal markets which in turn has a direct impact on communities, wealth and our ability to effectively manage resources and the environment. Today, land measurement standards used to interpret and document tenure are at best inconsistent and at worst non-existent.
RICS is one of the founding organisations setting up a coalition to address these issues. The Coalition was launched in June 2016.
Despite the prevalence of quality ethics standards within our profession today, there is no agreed, internationally observed norm - something the medical and accountancy professions both have.
Initiated at a meeting hosted by the United Nations in 2014, a coalition of professional organisations in the property and built environment sector are collaborating to align ethics standards at the international level. The IES Coalition of over 60 organisations hopes to publish the standard in 2016.
As well as specific measurement guidance, we will be offering online and tailored training, case studies and seminars to professionals and others looking to move into this field.
If you'd like to be among the first to learn about developments with IPMS and how we can help you adopt the new standard, please complete the short form.
We will only contact you with IPMS-related news, products and services, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We will not pass your information to third-party organisations without your prior consent.

Peach Topping for Pancakes
Those who have been following my blog for a while will know that my family never gets tired of pancakes. I usually make pancakes on Saturday morning for PJ and cartoon time with my boys. This week I had some fresh peaches in the fridge that needed to be eaten up and I remembered playing with a banana/pineapple topping a few years back that I thought would go well with the peaches. It did and it's super-easy!
2 fresh peaches, sliced into 8 pieces
a few spoonfuls of brown sugar
a few spoonfuls of margarine
Melt the margarine in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Add the brown sugar and peaches and mix well. Cover to let everything simmer together while your pancakes are cooking.

I love that you have a 'tradition' on Saturday mornings....this is similar to what my siblings do with their family. We three, in my little family, all have different tastes so our breakfast is quite a 'mix'. However, pancakes are so homey and good...yum...and what a great addition...peach topping. Must give that a try.

I love fresh peaches and their smell. But Mr. H won't let me bake or cook them, so i stick with the frozen variety for that.
You have a lucky family!

British supermarket giant Tesco said it is considering selling its Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market stores and will probably leave the United States altogether -- a move that will affect several locations in the region, including two in Burbank.
The sprawling retailer, which owns more than 6,000 stores worldwide, has already received inquiries from companies interested in acquiring all or part of Fresh & Easy, Tesco said Wednesday in a statement.
Fresh & Easy's chief executive, Tim Mason, is also leaving after three decades at Tesco, the company said.
The Fresh & Easy chain launched in 2007 with much fanfare and high ambitions of creating a network of hundreds of smaller-format stores on the West Coast.
But the supermarkets never proved profitable. In October, Tesco announced plans to cut back on investing in the chain after closing 12 stores earlier in the year. There are still nearly 200 locations open in California, Arizona and Nevada.

My mom and I did the Thailand Unearthed trip and had so much fun. Seeing the sun set at Doi Sutheep temple in Chiang Mai was amazing. The temples and people were wonderful. And the best part was the cooking class where we tried several dishes and brought home a recipe book to try at home!

The Benjamin Franklin Bridge connects more than two cities. It is the link between two communities who are brought together throughout the year and even closer during the holidays.
Norwood-Fontbonne Academy in Chestnut Hill works with Guadalupe Family Services in North Camden, a social service agency. For more than a decade, NFA students and their families try to lighten the burdens of Christmas for almost three dozen children.
Whether a wished toy or game, pair of shoes or heavy coat, school supplies and or household needs, families receive gifts cloaked in love. Sr. Helen Cole, a Sister of Saint Joseph and executive director of Guadalupe Family Services, visits NFA regularly and in early December she spoke with students about the needs in her Camden neighborhood.
"People in Camden think I am wonderful," she said. "It is only because of the generosity of NFA and others in the community that I can do wonderful work in Camden."
NFA's relationship with this north Camden neighborhood, and in particular the Holy Name School, goes much deeper than gifts at Christmas. Through the academy's fully integrated Service Learning Curriculum, NFA students of all ages are empowered to impact the lives of others while developing sensitivity towards others and an awareness of social injustice. Each grade works throughout the school year with a particular service site. Eighth graders partner with Holy Name School where they mentor and share life experiences with first graders.
"The visits are an integral component of the NFA's Service Learning program where students focus on social justice issues and the rights and needs of others; becoming more aware of the world outside their own neighborhoods," said Terri Hutsell, NFA Communications Director.
As the big yellow bus heads over the bridge into Camden, the landscape changes and our students find themselves in a poor, broken- down neighborhood where they know a growing spirit lives. What they experience when they arrive at Holy Name is the joy and camaraderie shared with a spirited group of youngsters. The eighth graders know that these children have similar interests, hopes, and dreams.
Later in the spring, the NFA students organize a day of service in the spring where their Camden buddies visit NFA for a daylong event featuring interactive activities, picnic lunch, team-building and mentoring exercises. Older students develop special relationships and serve as role models while the younger ones bring out the playful side of NFA teens.
A long-standing relationship with Father Mike McCue (an Oblate of St. Francis de Sales who directs the de Sales Service Works in Camden) continues ever stronger despite having to cross a bridge. Father Mike frequently comes to NFA to preside at special liturgies and services. With each visit, NFA children learn about the richness and goodness found in one of America's poorest cities. The students understand that Father Mike and his ministry is a vital presence in Camden; they anxiously await Father Mike's message each visit.
Although a river, and in some ways an entire world, separates the two schools, there is more in common than not. The relationship continues to build and each benefits from having spent time with the other. Christmastime is just one of the many moments these communities enrich each other.

Over the years we have found that some home buyers do very little research before "diving in" and investing their hard-earned money and purchase a piece of real estate. We are advocates of ensuring our clients are as informed as possible. That's what this report is all about. It's designed to help you avoid 10 common, critical mistakes many home buyers make. If you follow these 10 suggestions, with the help of the right real estate professional, you'll make a good sound business decision that you'll be happy and proud of for years to come.
1. Inspect, Inspect and Inspect - Go over the inspection report with a fine tooth comb. Make sure the report was done by a professional organization. For condo purchases, go over the by-laws, and strata fees. Don't take anything for granted... inspect everything!
2. Imagine the Property Vacant - Your furnishings and decorations will be the ones filling this new residence. Don't be swayed by beautiful furniture ... it leaves with the owner.
3. Income Plus Lifestyle Equals Mortgage Payment - Sit down with a competent real estate professional and honestly discuss your income level and living expenses. Take into account future considerations like: children, add-ons, amenities or fix-ups. Your dream home is certainly worth a sacrifice but don't mortgage your entire future.
4. View Several Homes - See at least 3-5 properties. Don't move on the first property you see but... don't move too slowly either. With your agent's help, you'll be able to view enough properties to get a good overall perspective of your market. And when you find the right property, all the leg work will be worth it.
5. Utilize Your Team - By aligning yourself with the right real estate professional, you'll have an entire team working for you. Top real estate professionals have lenders, lawyers and inspection teams - an entire group of trained professionals to make the whole buying experience simple and easy for you.
6. Be Columbo - Check out all your costs and expenses before you sign: utilities, taxes, insurance, maintenance and homeowner dues, if applicable. Make sure all utilities are on (gas, electricity, and water), so you can inspect everything in working order. Ask lots of questions and be very detail conscious.
7. Do a Final Walk-Through - Visit the property after all the furnishings have been moved out to be sure there are no surprises. Be absolutely positive the property was left exactly as you had agreed upon in the contract. Many times, things are unintentionally overlooked that could have been spotted in a final walk-through.
8. Plan For Flexibility - Closing dates are not written in stone. Allow for contingencies and have a back-up plan. If you or the sellers need a little more time to conclude the final arrangements, don't let these delays upset or frustrate you. These types of circumstances are not uncommon in a real estate transaction.
9. If It's Not In Writing, It Doesn't Exist - All promises and discussions are to be in writing. Don't make any assumptions or believe any assurances. Even the best intentions can be misinterpreted. Have your real estate professional keep an ongoing log (in writing) of all discussions, and get the seller's written approval for all agreements.
10. Loyalty Breeds Loyalty - Be open, honest and up-front with your team. Hard feelings and disloyalty will cause headaches, delays, or may even keep you from getting into the home you worked so hard to locate. Take the time to select the right team in the beginning and your first home purchase will be a simple, easy and profitable experience you'll have fond memories of... for years to come.
Please Fill out the short form below and we will send you a full package with everything you need to know as a first time buyer.

11 Mukhi Rudraksha is the symbol of the 11 Rudras of Lord Shiva. This is considered as the best Rudraksha to get the grace of Lord Shiva. Continue reading about 11 Mukhi Rudraksha.
हिंदी में पढने के लिए क्लिक करें ग्यारह मुखी रुद्राक्ष |
The term Rudraksha (Rudra i.e. Shiva + aksha i.e. eye) stands for the eyes of Lord Shiva implying thereby that it was pleasant to the eyes of Lord Shiva, and hence named in His Honour.
How to wear 11 Mukhi Rudraksha ?
11 Mukhi Rudraksha must be worn after Siddhi (method of purification & charging with Mantra). Before sending the bead to you, we always perform Siddhi free of cost. It should be worn on Monday. Wash it with milk.
The mantra to wear this bead is "OM HREEM HUM NAMAH". After wearing it, one should enchant 5 rosaries of the before written Mantra or 5 rosaries of "OM NAMAH SHIVAYA" or one can also enchant 1 rosary of Mritanjay Mantra.
Why Rudrakshas are oiled?
Rudrakshas are oiled to strengthen them and to save them from insects. Oiling doesn't change a low quality bead into fine quality. Oiling is done only to improve the skin and strength of the bead. ALWAYS keep the bead oiled. After regular cleaning, oil it and treat it with incense. This is of UTMOST importance, especially when not using the bead for sometime, or storing it for a while.
How to check quality of Rudrakshas?
Many get confused with the shape and size. One should not seriously worry about it. Just see that the Mukhs are well defined and corns & contours are natural.

Microsoft is not rethinking its anti-piracy policy, despite recent changes to its Windows anti-counterfeiting technology.
"None of this changes the intensity of Microsoft's campaign," said Michael Cherry, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft. "They're extremely serious about piracy."
There has been a lot of talk about piracy from senior Microsoft executives recently.
During an hour-long Q&A at a Goldman Sachs investor conference, Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's chief software architect, mentioned piracy twice. Although he was far less blunt than CEO Steve Ballmer - who last week said the company is thinking about "dialling up" the intensity of its anti-counterfeiting effort to boost Microsoft's bottom line - Ozzie needled freeloaders.
"A lot of the software that we generate is used at home by consumers, and consumers tend to be more comfortable with software that they can get free," Ozzie said, answering a question about how open Microsoft is to advertising-driven software. "Some people get it illegally. Some people do pay for it; some people pay for it on one machine and duplicate it on multiple machines."
But he also saw pirates as potential customers, assuming that Microsoft can tweak its software or how it's delivered enough to entice them into the fold. "I look at the half-billion people who are using Office today ... there are a number of those half-billion people who are using it who paid for it, and there are a number of those users who didn't pay for it but find immense value in it. That's why they found a way to use it.
"I look at it, and I go, 'Wow, if I could reach those people with a service,' " Ozzie said.
Do Ozzie's comments on piracy, combined with a recent change to the anti-counterfeiting technology within Windows XP, mean Microsoft is softening its stance?
No, says Cherry. "I don't see these really changing what Microsoft thinks about piracy."
An update to Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Notifications, the tool that determines whether the OS is legitimate or not, has added a third category to its piracy flags.
Dubbed "indeterminate," the new class lets WGA hedge. When a copy of XP is tagged as indeterminate, the user is directed to online resources to troubleshoot the problem but is not necessarily pegged as a pirate.
"The changes in the wording, that you're 'stolen' or 'legit' or 'indeterminate,' doesn't matter," argued Cherry. "If you see a failure [of WGA validation], you're still going to think that they're calling you a crook. But because there was no bad faith on the part of people who ended up with the bad copies [of XP] due to no fault of their own, Microsoft wants to add this 'indeterminate.' "
Microsoft has been hammered by some users and bloggers over WGA - in particular, for how often users are falsely accused of running an illegitimate copy of Windows and for its refusal to get specific on the percentage of such "false positives."
Is the new "indeterminate" flag a way to address those problems? Cherry said no.
"You don't even need the real numbers of false positives to prove that in this case, an incredibly small percentage is actually a very large number of users," he said. "The reality is that there are false positives.
"I could see users putting up with false positives if there was some other value in WGA," Cherry said. But, he added, as far he can tell, there isn't.
While the messages from Microsoft may sound confusing or conflicting, Cherry said he is convinced the company has a one-track mind on piracy, which may not necessarily be a good thing for users. "Sometimes you have the right to do something, but enforcing the right raises so much bad will, why not just forget about it?" Cherry said.
Microsoft officials were not immediately available for comment.

Huskies make familiar White House guests
WASHINGTON -- They're no strangers around the White House: The University of Connecticut women's basketball team starred again Wednesday when President Barack Obama saluted them for their eighth national championship -- their third during his presidency -- and hailed the Huskies as "one of the great sports dynasties of our time.''
With Coach Geno Auriemma beaming proudly, the 11 UConn players standing on three tiers of risers in the elegant East Room of the White House laughed as Obama wryly referred to their frequent visits as national champs.
Turning to Auriemma, Obama joked: "I see this guy too much. Keep in mind, a lot of presidents don't even get eight years in the White House. He's spent more time than some presidents in the White House. And he's not term-limited, so he can just keep on going.''
Obama said he had commented to Auriemma that over the first 23 months of his presidency, the Huskies hadn't lost once. The coach replied, Obama said, that when UConn won the championship, he went on to win re-election.
"So he thinks we've got a good thing going here,'' the president said. The audience loved it.
The UConn champs participated in similar White House salutes after winning championships in 2009 and 2010.
Sharing the limelight were Susan Herbst, UConn president; Chris Dailey, associate head coach, and assistant coaches Shea Ralph and Marisa Moseley. Among the 180 guests were four members of the state's Connecticut congressional delegation: Reps. Jim Himes, D-Greenwich, Elizabeth Esty, D-Cheshire, Joe Courtney, D-Vernon, and John Larson, D-East Hartford.
But Obama pointed out that "probably the most important person here is not Coach Geno, but Coach Geno's mom, who is here. ... And she's gorgeous. And that's where you got a good head of hair!''
Later, Auriemma choked up as he told reporters that his mother, Marsia, 82, an Italian immigrant from near Naples, was very proud to be greeted by the president.
"For someone who can't read or write, meeting the president of the United States -- that's pretty nice,'' the coach recounted.
Mrs. Auriemma became a citizen in 1976 -- the nation's Bicentennial -- during ceremonies in Philadelphia's Independence Hall, her son recalled. She resides in the Philadelphia area.
Obama, continuing on the frequent-visitor theme, said: "So I have to say to the Huskies, I've missed you guys. It's been, what, a couple years?''
Obama recounted the Huskies' sensational season and said that being champions is "about being at your best when the stakes are highest. And that's what made this team so special.
"To get to that national title, they had to go through a team that, let's face it, had had your number during some previous games: Notre Dame,'' which had defeated the UConn women three times earlier in the season.
"But rather than get discouraged, Geno gathered you together in the locker room, I understand, and said, `I'm going to show you how to win a championship.' ''
It looked tough at the time, Obama said, "but these folks didn't stop believing in themselves.''
The president continued: "After losing their first three games against Notre Dame by a combined 12 points, you won the last one by 18'' in the national semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. The Huskies went on to crush the University of Louisville, 93-60, in April to win the title, ending the season with a 35-4 record.
Obama called out some individual players:
He noted that seniors Heather Buck and Caroline Doty had made the trip to the White House in 2009 -- "so this is an old hat for them.'' Kelly Faris joined them in 2010.
Freshman star Breanna Stewart who "had the game of her life, became the first freshman in 25 years to be named most outstanding player in the Final Four.''
"Bria Hartley, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, and Kelly Faris earned their spots on the all-tournament team.''
"These are just some incredible athletes,'' the president said. "They've made their mark as one of the great sports dynasties of our time, but they're also just really outstanding young women.''
Obama said he was "the father of two young, beautiful, athletic and tall daughters -- it just always puts a smile on my face whenever I see such class acts represent their school and their country so well.''
The team presented the president with a warm-up jacket and an autographed basketball from the championship game and posed for photographs with the modernist NCAA championship trophy on a nearby table.
Auriemma told reporters later that he "never gets tried of coming to the White House -- that's for sure.''
"For the new players. . . it may only happen once. We take it for granted because we've been here eight times.''
Faris, a departing senior, said of the White House visit: "It's a good way to wrap up the school year.''
After the UConn women were honored at the White House in 2009, Obama had invited them -- in heels and dresses -- to the outdoor basketball court on the South Lawn, where he beat them in a game of P-I-G, an abbreviated form of H-O-R-S-E. In 2010, rain prevented a repeat and the president's schedule didn't include hoops Wednesday afternoon, thus preserving his perfect record.

text: > I will try this. but I believe, the compiler will include all the MPI's > code, and I would like to disable this part with macros it's normally more convenient to provide two binaries: one with MPI and the serial version without. using MPI requires, for instance, initialization and finalization calls, as well as actual message passing. you can, of course, make these conditional: if (mpi) Mpi_Init(...) but this is distracting in the code. > programm works with lists and normally the list are made with pointers, and > as far as I know, the MPI dont "like" pointers... So the Seriell version, I think this indicates a more fundamental problem: MPI is for distributed memory programs - if you want dynamic data available to an individual process (rank/worker), then you have to send it. it's not so much that MPI is pointer-hostile, but rather that a pointer is a reference within a single process, and have no real meaning outside the process (such as in the address space of another rank.) you can, of course, pass the actual data pointed to instead. or possibly your data might be amenable to using "handles", tags which you assign to your data, and explicitly manage. (with a little more effort, you _could_ actually explicitly manage pointers as handles - you'd have to control allocation explicitly, and synchronize your memory use on all ranks. mmap() allows you to do this, and with the prevalence of 64b machines, you certainly can avoid colliding with system allocations within your address space.) of course, it may also be that your workload is embarassingly parallel - that is, once set up, each rank will compute independently of the others. if that's the case, then the mpi portions are really quite constrained: distribution of data and collection of results. controlling this via a commandline argument would be very doable.

The new season doesn't start for another month, but the Costa Mesa Playhouse is getting a head start this weekend.
Friday night through Sunday only, the playhouse will stage its annual musical fundraiser, this one entitled "That Was Then ... This is Now!" Revenue raised from the benefit will go toward replacing equipment stolen in a recent break-in at the theater.
Jason Holland is directing "That Was Then" with musical direction by Stephen Hulsey. The show is described as a "musical journey through the best of Broadway hits from the 1940s to the present day."
Curtain time is 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday with Sunday's matinee scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday's show will feature a VIP gala with a silent auction and champagne and appetizer reception. Tickets are $20 for Friday and Sunday, and $23 for Saturday.
The new season, the playhouse's 47th, opens Sept. 2 with Noel Coward's popular comedy "Blithe Spirit," about a novelist whose second marriage is threatened by the appearance of the ghost of his first wife. Timothy MacDougall is directing the show, which runs through Sept. 25.
If you missed Michael Dale Brown's B-movie spoof "Earthlings Beware" when it premiered at the playhouse in 2007, you'll have a chance to catch it on its return visit from Oct. 28 through Nov. 20. Brown again directs his "savvy and silly homage to those unintentionally hilarious B-grade sci-fi flicks of the 1950s, with hokey dialogue, stiff acting and cheesy special effects," Brown promises.
The musical comedy "Nunsense," centered on a benefit variety show staged by sisters from a convent, has inspired six sequels. The playhouse will present the original from Feb. 10 to March 11 under the direction of Jason Holland.
Things turn deadly serious April 13 when Arthur Miller's epic drama of 17th century "witchcraft," "The Crucible," takes the stage. John McQuay will direct this powerful period piece written during the repressive McCarthy era of the 1950s. The show will run through May 6.
Wrapping up the new season will be a local premiere, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," a cult rock musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask. Director Stephen Hulsey describes it as "a brutally honest musical theater experience. The R-rated show will play from June 8 through July 8.
Performances will be given at the playhouse, 611 Hamilton St., Costa Mesa, and advance reservations may be obtained by calling the theater at (949) 650-5269. Further information is available online at http://www.CostaMesaPlayhouse.org.

A self-censored chronicle of family court dramas, lived by parents who lost all or some visitation with or custody of a child or children based on perjury and/or other false courtroom evidence
Happy Birthday - #ilovemyson
1 comment:
Children's Bill of RightsReplyDelete
Every kid has rights, particularly when mom and dad are splitting up. Below are some things parents shouldn't forget -- and kids shouldn't let them -- when the family is in the midst of a break-up.
You have the right to love both your parents. You also have the right to be loved by both of them. That means you shouldn't feel guilty about wanting to see your dad or your mom at any time. It's important for you to have both parents in your life, particularly during difficult times such as a break-up of your parents.
You do not have to choose one parent over the other. If you have an opinion about which parent you want to live with, let it be known. But nobody can force you to make that choice. If your parents can't work it out, a judge may make the decision for them.
You're entitled to all the feelings you're having. Don't be embarrassed by what you're feeling. It is scary when your parents break up, and you're allowed to be scared. Or angry. Or sad. Or whatever.
You have the right to be in a safe environment. This means that nobody is allowed to put you in danger, either physically or emotionally. If one of your parents is hurting you, tell someone -- either your other parent or a trusted adult like a teacher.
You don't belong in the middle of your parents' break-up. Sometimes your parents may get so caught up in their own problems that they forget that you're just a kid, and that you can't handle their adult worries. If they start putting you in the middle of their dispute, remind them that it's their fight, not yours.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins are still part of your life. Even if you're living with one parent, you can still see relatives on your other parent's side. You'll always be a part of their lives, even if your parents aren't together anymore.
You have the right to be a child. Kids shouldn't worry about adult problems. Concentrate on your school work, your friends, activities, etc. Your mom and dad just need your love. They can handle the rest.

8 Lousy Pet Puns Sure to Pause Any Puppy Party
Don't be that person.
Look, we all love our pets, but there are limits to how much we can (or need to) communicate this fact to others.
Our pets pleasantly surprise and entertain us all the time. They keep us physically and mentally active. They appear to mimic our behavior and they fall asleep in such cute positions.
We're not saying don't talk about your pets or don't share photos or videos of them in their element. If we're learned anything from the Internet, it's that dogs and cats are hilarious!
And we like to laugh, same as you. But what's definitively not hilarious are these 8 awful pet puns.
1. "Paw-some"
Nothing says 'I have trouble relating to other humans' like calling your neighbor's dog-themed socks "paw-some."
2. "Pup-arazzi"
Paparazzi are among the most reviled people in media. Don't sully an adorable puppy photo shoot by bringing up the paparazzi.
3. "That's a hot dog!"
It's 2018 and we really should be beyond this. We all know it's a dachshund. It's not that hard to say. Instead, try this, "It's 85 degrees out today; that dachshund is warm. Let us bring it some water or take it back into the air conditioning so it doesn't get heat stroke."
4. "Woofles"
You're making waffles, but to make a funny you say you're making 'woofles.' Okay, so WHO'S DOG DID YOU MURDER IN ORDER TO MAKE PASTRIES, YOU SICKO?!
5. "Litter pugs"
Your pug had a litter of puppies, so now you have a bunch of adorable, squeaky, wrinkly, soft ball-sized fur balls in your house. Super! Invite some people over so you can all enjoy! But people will think twice about taking you up on your invitation if they think more puns are waiting for them.
6. "Anything Is Paw-sible"
So you were saying 'possible' but overemphasized the first syllable to sound like 'paws.' If you are not a child, this is not cute.
7. "Fur real"
For real, please exorcise this from your pun vocabulary. Also, lots of animals (and many of my uncles) have fur; it's not a very unique characteristic, so what are you really saying here?
8. "Sorry You Had a Ruff Day"
This one misses the mark for this reason: if you actually had a rough day, would you really be in the mood for some punny patronizing? No, probably not.
Now, go forth and pun responsibly.

12.28.12 - Friday workout
by, December 28th, 2012 at 09:35 AM (652 Views)
Swam w/ Dave, Dave, Brian, Roger and Aundrey. Signed up for the Auburn SCY Invitational (feb. 16, 17) meet yesterday. I'm in for all the distance and mid-d events.
Day 1: 1650, 200 Fly, 200 Free, 400 IM - I've been working on getting my 200 free below 2:00. Not sure if it will happen this year but I'm close. My biggest concern is swimming relays after the 400 IM. I shouldn't be in the final heat so I will probably have a few minutes to recover before the relays.
Day 2: 500 Free, 200 Breast, 200 Back, 200 IM - Looking to break 2:30 on the 200 br. I should be able to do that. Since I've dropped the 50 Br (will probably swim it in a relay) and 100 Br, this is my only shot at one of my better events. First time ever to race 200 IM.
600 Warm up
1000 on 1:30/100 pace. Start with 100 Pull. If you are ahead of the 1:30 pace, substitute 25 pull with 25 kick for the next 100. I went 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 Kick on the first 5 and stayed ahead of the 1:30 pace w/ all kick for the last 5. I was about 12 or 13 seconds ahead of the pace at the end.
50 Easy
10 x 100 Up/Down Kick - 1:45 (:05) Base stroke Fly. Start w/ 100 fly. Dave threw in the stipulation that you can't use your strongest kick. w/o br kick, I couldn't get to 100 kick. But I did comfortably alternate 50 kick/50 fly with 75 kick/25 fly.
50 Easy
10 x 100 - 1:45 Easy. Only stipulation is that the first 25 is no breath. Roger and I tried to come up with something different for every no breather. I did: Free, Fly, Br pullouts, Spider scamper (lane rope pull on back underwater), sdk on back w/ fins, sdk on front w/fins, underwater flutter kick w/ fins, br kick w/ face in water, pull, and sdk on front w/o fins.
50 Easy
25 Easy
1200 free relay. 2 teams of three. Everyone did 8 50s. Their team went 11:25, we went 11:28.
75 Easy
6 x 50 - 1:11 down no breath, back hard
150 Cool down
(4700 Total)

she's on a diet while my pocket's eating cheesecake
A lot of people think that only actors, musicians and artists should be famous. I think anybody who is interesting and entertaining should be famous, which is why I love reality TV. Not all of it, but, by God, I love drama and do not want it in my life, which is why I rely on MTV and VH1 to churn out delusional people and the unbalanced few who inexplicably want to have sex with them.
Like any reasonable woman, Khloe is my favourite. And by "favourite" I mean, "probably the one I would eat last if we were all trapped on a desert island" because, hey, that's the type of situation where you want the kind of comic relief she provides. Sure, I was disappointed to see her supporting my least favourite organization, PETA, but you knew she was doing it purely out of ignorance combined with weakness to the manipulative tactics they should be famous for.

Here's a stat: the last time Arsenal played a full season without Robin van Persie, they went undefeated in the league. 26 wins, 12 draws, 90 points, and a trophy.
Nice thought, that. "There's hope yet," it seems to say, "perhaps more hope than you ever imagined." But as much as I'd like to be known as the pseudo-Nostradamus ITK, even I have to admit this is a facetious comparison. The Invincibles were a once-in-a-lifetime kind of team, and it would be hubristic to expect this current generation of Gunners to replicate that 2003/04 season, Van Persie or No Persie.
RvP's only significance here is that with him leaves the last lynchpin of this post-Invincibles generation, the Johnny-come-latelies, the heirs who could never quite escape the long shadows of their deified predecessors. Disbanded, the team built around Cesc Fabregas. The team of frustrated talents and perennial disappointment. The team whose underachievements have been well-documented by all and sundry, and I don't want to get into that here.
All I want to do is to pose a simple question: How will we remember them? When they write the history of Arsenal, one hundred years from now, will this silver generation be just another blip on the map? Will their names ring any bells? Will we tell the stories of the nearly-almost-theres?

PARIS — France's Socialist president, reeling from a record electoral victory by the far right, pledged Monday to press ahead with tax and spending cuts and urged a more streamlined European Union in hopes of calming voter anger.
The anti-EU, anti-immigration National Front party shook France's political landscape by coming out on top in France's voting for European Parliament elections, beating the mainstream conservatives and the governing Socialists.
Hollande, in a televised speech to the nation Monday night, said the result was "painful" and an embarrassment for France, the "founding nation of the European Union, homeland of human rights, country of freedom."
France's next presidential and legislative elections won't take place until 2017.
But the showing gives new momentum to National Front leader Marine Le Pen — who has projected a kinder, gentler face of her party — just as the Socialist government is flailing and former President Nicolas Sarkozy's conservative party is wobbling amid a finance scandal.
Hollande held an urgent meeting of government ministers Monday morning and then pledged to push ahead with reforms of France's stagnant, indebted economy.
In recent years, Le Pen has softened her party's image and won over disillusioned voters from right and left with a populist message that blames European bureaucracy and immigration for high prices and France's declining global influence.
"The French suffer from austerity, unemployment and social difficulties. But our governments are deaf to the cry of the people," she said, calling the election result an "incredible disavowal" of "the entire, so-called traditional political class."
Hollande responded to Le Pen's big win by suggesting Monday night that EU should curb some of its powers, saying "Europe must be simple, clear, to be effective where it is needed and to pull back where it is not needed."
He provided no details but said ahead of his attendance at an EU summit in Brussels Tuesday that he still firmly supports deep European cooperation on a host of issues and that France must not risk isolating itself within the bloc.
France "cannot pursue its destiny by turning in on itself, closing itself off, rejecting the other," he said.
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier of EU powerhouse Germany called the National Front's success "a bad signal."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the rise of right-wing populists in the weekend's European elections was "remarkable and regrettable," and called for policies that could create jobs and improve competitiveness.
"That goes for France too," she said in Berlin.
Beneath Le Pen's broad smile and persuasive rhetoric, her party has hard edges.
Her father Jean-Marie Le Pen, who is a European Parliament member, reportedly suggested this month that an outbreak of the Ebola virus could help keep France from being "submerged" in immigration.
He is the party's founder, and has been repeatedly convicted for racist or anti-Semitism remarks that are crimes in France. He also caused a commotion in French politics when he made the runoff in the 2002 presidential race against then-President Jacques Chirac.
The party increasingly targets France's large Muslim minority. One National Front mayor elected in March sought to block the construction of a new mosque. Another new National Front mayor wants to bar Middle Eastern sandwich shops.
At the European level, the party wants to withdraw France from the euro and eventually dismantle the EU.
The European Parliament's website said Monday that the National Front captured 25.4 percent of the vote, giving it 22 of France's 74 allotted seats. The conservative party of former President Nicolas Sarkozy won 21 percent, and the Socialists came in third at 14.5 percent.
David Rising in Berlin and Angela Charlton in Paris contributed to this report.
