Chinese property developers are stepping up the use of sales promotions for some suburban housing projects, an early sign that a slowdown in property prices that spooked investors this week may be spreading.
In the big cities, demand remains robust and the chances of a slump in prices are slim, according to a Reuters poll. But prices are falling in some smaller centers, causing jitters among investors since the property sector drives a significant portion of the world's second-biggest economy.

Developers are offering price promotions like free car park spaces and renovation options that translate into discounts of 5-10 percent even in developments on the edge of the capital, Beijing, according to real estate firm Knight Frank.
"In some areas where sales are not good, developers are offering discounting or more promotions, even in suburban areas an hour away from Beijing city," Thomas Lam, Knight Frank's head of research & consultancy for Greater China, told Reuters.
The comments follow recent reports that developers have cut prices in some smaller cities in eastern China, about an hour from the commercial capital Shanghai, while one bank said it had cut back on some lending to developers.
On Monday, the government released data showing that price increases in the country's biggest cities slowed for the first time in 14 months.
The combination of these comments has sent the Shanghai Property Index down more than 7 percent since Monday, its biggest three-day drop in eight months, as rattled investors eyed the prospect of a possible burst property bubble.
Although the Chinese government, mindful of the social and economic consequences of a property collapse, has a long-declared goal to cool the frothy property market, any sharp fall in prices could cause huge problems.
Real estate investment accounts for 15 percent of the country's gross domestic product and is a major driver of demand for commodities such as steel, copper and aluminum.
A more worrying impact could be on the so-called shadow banking system, a parallel and unregulated sector that has emerged out of the government's credit clampdown on mainstream banks. A lot of shadow bank financing products use property as collateral.
"This is why it's so dangerous to have a financial system significantly reliant on ever-rising property prices to create credit," said David Cui, a China strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch in Hong Kong. "When the tide turns, the negative loop can kick in fairly quickly."
"Banking is so highly leveraged on property prices, any disturbance there will be very difficult to handle," he said.
The recent roiling of the market has drawn the attention of state media.
An editorial in the official China Daily newspaper on Wednesday urged the government to prevent house prices from becoming a source of financial and social instability [ID:nL3N0LV0N9].
The official Xinhua news agency said in a separate commentary that local government and developers were partly to blame for driving up potential financial risks.
"It should ring the alarm for profit-seeking property developers and GDP-fixated local governments to rein in irrational real estate development and proactively adjust policies before it is too late," Xinhua said.
"China's property market might have outgrown its boom days, but predictions of an imminent property bubble burst and economic crash are premature," it added.
According to a separate poll of 13 industry watchers by Reuters this week, the chance of a sharp drop in China's property market is slim, although some smaller cities may see a correction of up to 10 percent.
Most predicted a continued rise for property prices, if not at the levels seen last year.
Analysts also see a split between cities of different sizes. In the property market, China's cities are loosely split into four tiers, though there is no clear definition of each tier.
Demand in the so-called tier-1 cities, generally taken to mean the major wealthy mega-metropolises including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, is set to rise further, while slowdowns could emerge in the tier-2 and tier-3 cities, loosely defined as provincial capitals and towns below that level, analysts say.
Local media reported this week that home-owners in the eastern city of Hangzhou, generally considered a tier-2 city, were protesting against steep discounts being offered by some developers, since that affected the value of properties they had bought at higher prices.
One small developer had cut prices by 12 percent in Hangzhou, Xinhua said, adding that a day later another company slashed prices for a development in the same city.
Shimao Property <0813.HK>, Country Garden <2007.HK>, Agile Property Holdings <3383.HK>, Evergrande Real Estate Group <3333.HK>, China Vanke <000002.SZ> and Sunac China Holdings <1918.HK> all bought land in Hangzhou recently, according to Credit Suisse.
Hong Kong-listed developer Agile has offered discounts of more than 40 percent at a project in the second-tier city of Changzhou in the east of the country, according to private consultancy CRIC.
"A proper correction would be beneficial to all. Even we developers don't want to see such high prices because a sudden surge in prices must come with risks," said Liu Zhuogen, executive director at Tonic Industries Holdings Ltd <0978.HK>, a unit of mainland developer China Merchants Property Development <000024.SZ>.
"A correction in some parts of the country is appropriate."
Still, China is nowhere near a situation of negative equity in property prices which typically is a tipping point for the market, said Savills' China head of research, James MacDonald.
"The good thing with China is that most people have built up significant equity within their property holdings, especially with down payment requirements on new purchases in excess of 30 percent. Unless prices fall very significantly, individuals are not going to go into negative equity," he said.
"It's unlikely that we'll see a significant sell-off in the short term."

Subscribe To Aretha Franklin Says Taylor Hackford Will Direct Her Biopic, Wants Denzel Washington To Play Her Father Updates
I've already subscribed
Taylor Hackford is no stranger to musical biopics, having directed and produced the Academy Award winning Ray with Jamie Foxx, but according to the Queen of Soul he's getting back into the game. Aretha Franklin, who first started talking about a possible biopic early last year, says that Hackford has signed on to bring her life story to the big screen.
The legendary singer recently sat down to speak with Glamour and when asked about the in-development project she not only confirmed the director but also added some possible casting suggestions, the most notable being the idea of having Denzel Washington play her father, Baptist minister and activist C. L. Franklin. "He [Taylor] mentioned Denzel first, and I was thinking of Billy Dee [Williams]," Franklin said. "That's who I was thinking of. And he mentioned Denzel, and I said 'Hmm...' And when I thought about Malcolm X, and what he did with that, I said, 'Yes! He could do it. He could handle it. If he put a little more weight on and glasses, he could handle it.'" She even specifically talked about the opening scene of the movie featuring the character, where he would be on the pulpit "speaking on '"The Eagle Stirs Her Nest.'"
As for who should play her, Franklin previous suggested Halle Berry for the part, but has added a few new names to the wishlist. Said Franklin, "We have Jennifer Hudson, we have Halle Berry, and Audra McDonald. That's the last three. I went to see Audra in Porgy and Bess, and I was very impressed with her dramatic ability. She was terrific." Regardless of who is cast in the various parts, however, Franklin says that above all she just wants the picture to tell the truth. "Accuracy," she said after being asked about her vision for project. "The facts. Let's present the facts, and be as creative as possible with them."
Hackford most recently directed the action film Parker with Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez, which will be in theaters January 25th. Franklin has signed a new deal with Clive Davis' J Records and is currently working on a new album.

The Subtle Line Between Car Loans And Credit Scores
Like it or not, your credit score will eventually determine the interest rates of your car loan. Such has been the case for a long time. It may still be the case for a long time to come for pretty much obvious reasons. Car loan lenders simply view borrowers with low scores as high risks. To protect themselves should the borrower default, they charge high interest rates. That is basically the thin line that separates affordable car loans and expensive ones. But there is much more into the same subject than what meets the eye.
Impact of car loan on your credit
This may sound confusing or even obvious to some. Anytime you take a car loan, your credit will be affected. It does not end there. Pay your loan on time and you certainly will have a good score. Make a mistake and miss out on a payment even once and you certainly will have yourself to blame. The bottom line here is, car loans and credit scores complement each other. To avoid defaults, always go for what you can afford. Car loan experts always advice borrowers to consider going for used cars instead of new ones. For starters, they always come along with affordable price tags. Repaying a loan for such a car will of course be easy as compared to repaying a loan for a new car.
For more information. Visit us at www.newcarcanada.ca
Loan on top of loans
It so happens that car loan lenders are always on the lookout for borrowers with high credit scores. They easily convince. This is not a bad thing. What is bad however, is going for a loan from a different lender while you have another loan at hand to service. Make no mistake about it. At first, it always seems as though one can manage to service two loans at a go. With a good income, that is possible. But it is risky. You can easily end up in debt. service one loan at a time and save your credit.

Actress Hayden Panettiere is undergoing laser treatment to remove a misspelled tattoo from her rib cage.
The "Nashville" star had the Italian phrase "Vivere senza rimpianti" – live without regrets – inked down the left side of her body in 2009, but she soon discovered the last word should have actually read "rimipianti."
Discussing the meaning behind the design, she previously said, "My tattoo means 'Live without regrets.' It's not that you don't regret things in life, but you at least try to learn from them. It's misspelled too. So I literally have to live by that advice!"
However, it appears she has grown sick of living with the mistake – the TV beauty was photographed in a bikini on Hollywood Beach in Florida on Sunday with part of the text missing, suggesting she is in the midst of the tattoo removal.

'The Americans' Season 2 Spies First New Footage: "We Have to Be Able to Trust Each Other!"
FX Cold War spy thriller 'The Americans' won't premiere its second season along with the 2014 crop of 'Justified' and 'Archer' in January, but the cable network dropped off an early Christmas present to tide us over until February. Check out the first footage of 'The Americans' season 2 in a brand-new promo!
No more closets or Russian Roulette, stylistic though they may have been, as our first (brief) look at season 2 picks up where the season 1 finale left off to find young Paige continually checking up on her parents' nocturnal activities. Don't let the returning myriad of wigs fool you however, Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Philip (Matthew Rhys) are no slacks, and know that their daughter has her suspicions. Whatever is a Russian spy family to do?
So far, only bits and pieces of 'The Americans' season 2 have emerged since the first season finale, though we know that season 1 stars Annet Mahendru (Nina), Alison Wright (Martha) and Susan Misner (Sandra Beeman) have been upped to series regular, while Margo Martindale will return as Claudia for at least one episode. In addition to a lighter focus on the marital drama, we'll also see history start to catch up with the characters a bit, notably the deaths of Leonid Brezhnev and other Soviet leaders.
Check out the latest footage of 'The Americans' season 2 above, and tell us in the comments if you'll spy the February 2014 premiere!

haileyjm needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Sky's The Limit Adventures (Travel and Social Club - small letters below logo)
Sky's the Limit is the regions most active and fastest growing social, cultural, travel and outdoor activity club. From being a cowboy one weekend (horseback riding-n-range shootin) to dancing the night away, from seeing a show in Midtown, Atlanta to seeing one in Midtown, NY. From routing on the Atlanta Braves to braving the route down the rapids on the Chattooga river. From watching a movie at Screen on the Green to playing a round of golf on the green. How about a hike up Kennesaw Mtn. or taking a bike ride on Silver Comet? Is gliding over the tree tops or jumping out of a plane more your style? Maybe you are looking for something fun to do with your kids, pets or significant other? Maybe concerts & art galleries are more your scene? How about trying new restaurants? International travel your bag? No worries, we have whatever you are looking for (and maybe some things you didn't even consider!) Trying something new can be tough without a supportive group of friends whether starting over in a new city or testing out a new hobby. Everyone's a stranger until you share a few laughs. Why not share some good times with a open-minded, fun-loving crew of people? Well no more excuses! STL will keep your social calendar as full as you want it to be and in time you'll gain more friends then you ever thought possible. "When Life is Too Busy to Plan for Fun"
We are currently in Atlanta, Ga. but would like to branch out to other cities eventually. STL is made up of really wonderful people who are up for anything, new fun activities, travel and friendships. The group is for all types of people of all ages and backgrounds. The age range is 25-55 and made up of singles and couples. This is about getting out there, being active, having fun, seeing new places and meeting new faces!
We need a logo for a new website. Currently we are using a clip art logo, which I like, but alas... it is still clip art. You can view it at: http://www.Meetupatlanta.com. I am open to color suggestions, since the word "sky" is in the name, some form of blue would probably be good. This is a really exciting and adventurous group and I want that to be reflected in the design. Nothing too corporate. I wouldn't be opposed to a piece of a map, or an airplane (something that reflects travel) If you take a look at the clipart logo on our site currently, I would be thrilled with a revamp of that. http://www.MeetupAtlanta.com Vector format please. Thanks for all your hard work and beautiful suggestions!

Of all things that anger me most, this is most likely the main problem I have with the TVD fandom. I can see why people ship Stelena, though I don't agree and I can see why people hate Damon, though I could never do the same because I love him. But this...this right here I cannot take, and it almost worries me what people would think if this was the real world. I already know what I'd think. Never in my wildest dreams, in my nightmares, in my life will I ever understand how someone could think Katherine is better than Elena.

To start - I MISS ELENA! Her absence was felt very keenly in this episode, and I feel like the writers were respectful of her memory (with a big BUT.)
BUT they are shameless in their ways of holding onto Delena viewers, and seeing as there is no guarantee that Elena/Nina will ever return, it stings. I get they are trying to make money, and they didn't have a say on Nina's decision to leave the show, but the teasing isn't entirely appreciated.
Lately I have been watching گزشتہ seasons of The Vampire Diaries to mend little pieces of my broken heart. As I did I remembered a very special thing that Damon کہا to Elena. "I will always choose you."
Interesting. I've been reading spoliers on the internet about season seven and both Julie Plec and Ian Somerhalder کہا that he will fall in love again.

Thieves dump deceased child's ashes while ransacking Nebraska home
"The box had never been open ... ," said mother
"The box had never been open ... ," said mother
"The box had never been open ... ," said mother
Just days before Christmas, a thief broke into a Nebraska mother's home and stole more than presents.
Someone broke into Shalina Bolden's home Wednesday morning and ransacked the place.
Shalina described her home, saying it looked as though a tornado went through it.
"They took clothes, shoes, Xbox, TVs, computers. They destroyed my daughter's bedroom furniture, turned mattresses upside down," she said.
Shalina's daughter, Jaera Bolden, 11, discovered their ransacked home after school.
She saw a busted side door and broken window, with even the Christmas tree knocked over.
"Some of my Christmas presents were open. They took them, " Jaera said.
And that's not all.
Shalina Bolden was sick to her stomach when she realized the burglar tossed the ashes of her baby boy on the floor.
"The box had never been open. I never wanted to look at my son's ashes," Shalina said.
Now they're gone.
"I can never get back his ashes ... for me to have to sweep them up off the floor is a mother's worst nightmare and for my kids to have to see it, is very devastating," she said.
Shalina dedicated a corner in the home to her son. She lost Lawrence last year in June, when he was just 2 and half years old.
Lawrence was born with Digeorge Disease, a rare condition that left him without an immune system. (He was said to be first patient in Nebraska to be diagnosed with it.)
His mother fought hard to get Lawrence a transplant -- but his body rejected it.
Wednesday morning, the memorial -- filled with pictures, mementos, and memories of the little boy -- was smashed and on the floor.
"Material things can be replaced, but the damage you (thief) did to my heart and my kids is not something I would wish on no one," Shalina said.
Jaera said, "They deserve to be in jail for all this. They really do. It's not right. It's not right at all."
Shalina won't let the thief ruin their Christmas. She picked up the mess, re-decorated the tree and granted her daughters' wish of putting baby Lawrence's memorial back together.
"They wanted that wall back, and I worked most of the night trying to get it back as much as I could get out of what was left," she said.
Shalina said at least the thief can't steal her heart and love for her son, who brought her so much joy in his short time with her.
A neighbor's surveillance camera on Florence Boulevard caught a picture of the crook, wearing colorful shoes and carrying book bags and sacks of Shalina's stuff.

Should Google Have to Scrub Its 'Autocomplete' Suggestions?
Is Google responsible for the suggestions of its "autocomplete" search tool?
The company says no, but courts in two countries have suggested otherwise, potentially creating another legal and technical challenge for the search giant.
A Hong Kong court Tuesday ruled that Albert Yeung Sau-shing, chairman of the Emperor Group conglomerate, can sue Google for defamation because "autocomplete" suggests searches linking him to organized crime.

And I disagree about digipaks being durable, at least in my experience. With digipaks, the printed material is right there on the surface, subject to scuffing, denting, dog-eared edges, water damage, and fingerprint oils, every time you handle the CD package.
Just chiming in here to comment on this unfortunate news. I will happily continue to support good old Hypnos but I much MUCH prefer a proper CD. Even I use CDR based releases From time to time but when I work particularly hard on a release it is my preference to release it as a real CD. Again, this is no slight against Hypnos at all, but I am not happy with this news.Jesse

Finding The Balance, Honoring The Feminine
The goddess is the female divine being, the Mother, the Amazon, the healer, the lover and the Queen. To speak of the Sacred Feminine is to speak of the innate divine qualities of women throughout the ages. It harks back to all times when power manifests as a positive attribute, not associated with control or supremacy, but rather potential and strength and the earthly powers of sun and moon and nature.
Examples of suppression, even unintentional, of natural feminine instincts abound. Women can be ticketed for breast feeding in shopping malls. The fact that twenty-eight days in the lunar calendar and twenty-eight days in a woman's cycle is treated as hardly more than a coincidence. The rich and hugely interesting pantheon of female mythological characters and deities are not practiced with great regularity.
But to a well-tuned eye and ear, signs of the archetype of the Goddess are apparent and abundant. The concept of the Sacred Feminine entered mainstream consciousness with the bestselling book The DaVinci Code. Pilgrimage tours to sacred sites for women featuring ancient ceremonies are gaining in popularity. Curiosity and a good library will unveil many intriguing tales and traditions from which to cull.
The Hopi Indians tell of Ha Hai-i Wuhti, the mother who nourishes all beings be they kachinas, humans, sentient or insentient placing a female at the center of all creation. The Hindu's have the great Mother Durga who, though beautiful transforms into her wrathful form. Quan Yin is the familiar Chinese goddess of compassion. In Africa, the Orishas are honored as both Gods and Goddesses.
All animals, humans included, are born from the union of male and female. Appreciating our feminine side in the spiritual sense means valuing the feminine principle, along with the masculine principle, as equal and fundamental aspects of the Divine. The yin yang symbol is a reminder of this perfect balance within us. And now is the perfect time to find that balance by honoring the feminine. Who are the women in your life? Pay attention to the contribution of women to our society. Lift the glass to them, sing their praises, honor them in whatever way, small or large. Paying this respect reaffirms our connection to the divine, the Goddess, the Earth and each other.

HARTSVILLE, SC – Coker couldn't quite pull off an upset against Pfeiffer University Monday night, falling 113-108 in overtime. The Cobras are 5-11 overall and 3-6 in the CVAC, while Pfeiffer moves to 11-3, 7-1 in the conference.
Pfeiffer built a 49-45 halftime lead behind 17 points from big man Damien Argrett. The high-scoring Falcons shot 59 percent in the period but the Cobras stayed within range by shooting 52 percent and converting 11 PU turnovers into 13 points.
The second half was just as entertaining despite numerous foul calls slowing down the game. The Cobras battled back from six points down with 14 minutes remaining and took a 76-69 lead on a jumper by senior Jamie Jenkins/Columbia, SC.
Pfeiffer kept the pressure up by connecting on 11-15 free throws in the last nine minutes, but the Cobras hit clutch shot after shot to stay just in front. The turning point of the game came in the final 1:10, when CC went to the foul line twice but only came away with two points out of a possible four.
After Jay Farrow/Sanford, NC made the second of two attempts for a 101-98 with 44 seconds left, Pfeiffer's Rico Grier made Coker pay by draining a pull-up three pointer with 35 seconds left. The Cobras ran the clock down, but a three-pointer by Johnny Jackson/Hartsville, SC missed the mark and sent the game to overtime.
The Falcons scored the first four points in OT but CC bounced back to take a 108-105 advantage. On the next possession Rick Buffaloe got open in the corner and drained a game-tying three pointer. Coker missed on their next two possessions and Pfeiffer regained the lead on a free throw by Craig Thomas and then two more from Grier.
For the second time this year, the Cobras had the ball on the last possession and couldn't get a shot off. This time a turnover in the final 10 seconds gave the Falcons a layup to end the game.
Senior Michael Pierce/Whiteville, NC scored 20 points with five rebounds, three assists and four steals before fouling out late in the game. Jackson tallied 17 points and five rebounds, while Farrow and Mark Duncan/Graham, TX added 15 points apiece. Jenkins had 12 points and four boards and junior Jason Fulwood/Cumming, GA knocked down 4-6 three balls for 12 points.
The big three did it again for PU with Grier pouring in 35 points and collecting five rebounds. Argrett finished with 24 points and seven boards, while the younger Grier, DeMario, tallied 18 points and two steals.
Both teams shot 56.7 percent from the field and turned the ball over 17 times. Pfeiffer held a slim 36-30 edge in rebounding and connected on 34-51 free throws compared to 18-26 for the Cobras.
CC will now host Queens University of Charlotte this Saturday, January 29, at 4:00 PM.

The Pantech Discover, launching January 11 on AT&T, is a 4.8-inch entry level device priced at just $50 with a new agreement. The textured backplate is tastefully curved, and other design cues like dual speakers are a stand out.
But the more interesting part of the Pantech Discover is the work that's gone into the custom user interface. It's built on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, and there actually are two UIs.The main home screen is nearly idiot-proof. Gone is the app drawer. Even the settings menu is hidden from where you'd normally expect it. And it's still pretty full of features, all things considered. It's got NFC, and AT&T's improved DriveMode is built-in, to help cut down on texting and driving.

Samba as an actual AD controller is a Samba 4 thing, which isn't ready yet, as far as I know -- has that changed recently? The canonical way to DTRT is to have a master Kerberos server in the POSIX world, which AD trusts, and populate the POSIX and AD worlds' LDAP separately from one or more accounts databases. Basically you want to keep AD in its own world, and in a network subdomain with a sensible DNS arrangement, since AD wants to control DNS.

As a political newcomer taking on a three-term incumbent, Jim Graves is putting his career in business at the center of his campaign.
"I'm not a politician, never will be a politician," Graves said. "I'm a business guy that wants to serve the people in Congress and do a good job."
For months, Graves has tried to make a competitive race out of his bid to oust Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann. Recent polls give Bachmann a solid lead, but it is close enough that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has added Minnesota's 6th district race to its "Red to Blue" list of competitive races.
It's difficult to defeat an incumbent. Even those like Bachmann, who polls show voters find polarizing. In this race, it's better to be known to all, than not known at all. While many may share Graves' views or simply would like to see Bachmann voted out of office, polls also show just weeks before Election Day there are many voters in the 6th District who still don't know much about Graves.
Graves has done well for himself. According to disclosure reports he's worth between $22 million and $105 million. But he wasn't born into his wealth.
He grew up in St. Cloud, attended St. Cloud State University, married his high school sweetheart and had three boys. Following college, Graves taught sixth grade for two years. He started his first business in his basement. Later he built AmericInns and eventually founded Graves Worldwide Hospitality, which owns and manages hotels in cities such as St. Cloud and LaCrosse.
Lee Lynch is a business partner of Graves, in among other things, Graves' eponymous property in downtown Minneapolis: the Graves 601 Hotel. Graves' business skills were tested during the recession, Lynch said.
"We had nothing but bad news for three years. Every board meeting, every financial meeting was... I called it 'looking down at your shoe meeting,'" Lynch said. "You don't look up at the other person, you just keep looking at your shoes saying, 'when is this going to go away.' "
Lynch said it was Graves' honest attitude and complete candor that kept investors on board at the property.
"It's just amazing that investors could go through that; have that much money in and get no return for so long and not be madder than hell at the guy," Lynch said. "They know that he's really worked hard and done as best as he could. And now guess what, it's coming back. So the industry, the hotel business in Minneapolis is back again."
In his first bid for public office, Graves is trying to run as a political centrist — someone willing to buck his own party and work with Republicans. Repeatedly, Graves said he is running for the 6th District, not against Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Dan Hofrenning, who teaches American politics at St. Olaf College in Northfield, said Graves represents a new type of challenger for Bachmann.
"Michele Bachmann had defeated different types of candidates and I think Jim Graves is probably the fourth type. That is the successful business man," Hofrenning said. "If she wins, she's defeated the state cabinet member, the child activist, the state legislator, and now successful businessman."
For some voters, running against Bachmann is enough.
Sue Zimmer, an office manager who lives near St. Joseph, said she plans to vote for Graves.
"Oh definitely, yeah," Zimmer said. "Because he's running against Michele Bachmann, so definitely I'll vote for him."
At a campaign stop in Sartell this month, Graves told reporters that Congress is dysfunctional and that members are making ideological promises to people other than their constituents.
"What we need to do is go to Congress and get things done, find common ground, be willing to stand up and compromise and find real solutions to the real problems," Graves said. "That's what this election should be about and that's what I'm all about and that's why I'm giving back."
Graves purchased ads to raise his profile with voters. So far, he has self-financed about one-third of his $1.5 million campaign. Bachmann has raised more than ten-times as much. Although much of it was spent on her presidential bid, Bachmann still has a sizable funding advantage and will likely push the 6th District race into one of the most costly in the nation this year.
With less than two weeks left in the race, Graves still has an opportunity to win over voters in a series of three debates.

Women in Time's Most Influential People 2013
The STEM Women of Time's Most Influential People
Time magazine unveiled its annual list of the most influential people in the world, and while it's full of household names from political figures like President Barack Obama to entertainment mogul Jay-Z and celebrated writer-director-actress Lena Dunham, female leaders in science and technology also made the cut among the "artists and leaders . . . pioneers, titans and icons."
Familiar tech faces Marissa Mayer, Yahoo CEO, and Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, are listed as pioneers and titans, respectively. Both are powerful leaders in Silicon Valley, with the Yahoo chief leading the company back to its former tech glory, and with her new book, Lean In, Sheryl is reexamining gender politics in the workplace as they relate to keeping women from balancing the career success and family home life.
The C-suite isn't the only representation of women in the sciences, though; read on to learn about women revolutionizing education, helping to eradicate AIDS and breast cancer, and connecting remote locations to the power of the web.
- Kimberly Blackwell — Dr. Blackwell's research in the fight against breast cancer has led to something called a "smart bomb," a way of treating the disease with fewer of the harsh side effects of other medical treatments.
- Erica Kochi — Part of the UNICEF Innovation Unit, Erica has helped the organization use technology to effectively distribute mosquito nets, key in the prevention of malaria in Africa, and make the process of getting something as commonplace as a birth certificate easier for communities that previously went without them.
- Daphne Koller — As a cofounder of Coursera, Daphne has made free college classes from top universities like Stanford, Duke, and University of Michigan available to global students ready and willing to learn.
- Hannah Gay, Katherine Luzuriaga, and Deborah Persaud — This trio of doctors worked quickly to give an infant who contracted HIV from its mother anti-HIV drugs, which then fought back the virus so that the child, now at nearly 3, shows no signs of HIV. This fast-acting treatment could be effectively used in future treatments of HIV in adults too.
- Roya Mahboob — Not only did Roya found an IT consulting firm in Afghanistan, but she also proudly hires women, not easy in a place where women are still told to stay at home with their families. She's even the force behind 40 free Internet classrooms across the country, so women can get online safely and in peace.

LOS ANGELES – A woman who says she was a drug informant for Los Angeles police is suing the city and two officers who she says forced her to have sex with them, threatening to take her to jail otherwise.
Tammy Kim filed the suit Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, naming Officers Bill Nichols and Gus Venenzuela. She alleges assault, battery, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil rights violations.
"(Kim) lives in fear for her life as she believes … that both officers Nichols and Venenzuela verbally informed suspects that (she) assisted them in the arrests," the suit states. "(She) has received several death threats from these suspects and their agents as a direct result of the officers' actions."
An LAPD spokeswoman today declined to comment on the suit.
According to the suit, Kim began working as an LAPD informant in 2009 and over time named numerous drug offenders and provided the officers with information needed to make arrests. But that same year Venenzuela, who worked in the Hollywood Division, told her she had not given up the names of enough suspects to satisfy him, according to the suit.
"Venenzuela informed her that if (she) slept with him, he would give her additional credits on the next arrest," the suit states. Kim agreed to have sex with Venenzuela, who warned her not to tell anyone, the suit states.
In September 2010, Venenzuela took her out of jail to help him make an arrest, the suit states.
"Several weeks later, Venenzuela forced (Kim) to have sex with him again in the back seat of his vehicle, again threatening her with jail, the suit states.
Nichols began working with Kim after Venenzuela was transferred in November 2010, according to the suit. She also agreed to have sex with him in January and February, 2011, after he said he would in turn keep her out of jail, the suit states.
However, Kim was never credited with assisting the officers in making arrests and has been incarcerated since April 2011, the suit states.
The suit did not explain what, if anything, the authorities had over Kim to induce her to become an informant, and the reason she remains behind bars was not immediately clear.

In the midst of Haiti's lush mountains and historical relics, hundreds of thousands of orphaned and abandoned children wander the streets day and night. Known as the Sanguine ("Soulless") and forgotten by their own people, they have struggled for survival since long before the devastating 2010 earthquake. STRANGE THINGS: CHILDREN OF HAITI follows three teenage street boys, who reflect on their country and their lives, sharing a common dream of education, government assistance and social acceptance.
Following the evolution and transformation of these boys into young men, this cinematic documentary provides direct insight into Haiti's ongoing abandoned youth problem. In the voices of the street boys themselves, the film examines a complicated issue which has not only plagued the country for decades, but grows more severe every day.
Shot in the historic northern city of Cap-Haitien over a period of three years, CHILDREN OF HAITI reveals the country's strange contrasts; a land of breathtaking landscapes and remarkable heritage, but also great human tragedy, all seen through the eyes of these prolific, poetic boys. Despite the nearly insurmountable obstacles, they show that a few can still manage to find hope, and even a little joy, in this harsh reality.

Barry University women's golf team tees off at 9:40 a.m. Wednesday in the NCAA Division II National Championships at LPGA Legends International in Daytona Beach.
Yeah, so what's the rub? Well, coupled with the fact the Buccaneers are competing in their second straight national tournament, having finished fourth in the country in Louisville in 2012, this team is at home so to speak.
"They feel comfortable with the course because they've been here before," Barry coach Shannon Sykora said. "They just have to stay patient, and get themselves in position."
Follow the women's golf national championships HERE.
Barry's men's team will be making its NCAA Division II record fifth straight appearance in the championships. Last year the Buccaneers finished tied for fifth after advancing to the match play portion of a gruelling tournament format. Barry, ranked No. 2 in the country, will play three rounds of stroke play, beginning Monday, at Hershey Country Club in Hershey, Pa., before moving on to match play. The top eight teams after the 54-hole stroke play tournament advance to match play in a seeded bracket-style 54-hole finish over two days.
The Buccaneers men's team won it all in 2007.
"I feel good about the team and the progress we've made through the spring on the golf course, and the mental and physical preparation," Barry longtime coach Jimmy Stobs said. "All we're going to try to do is control our own emotions."
Follow the men's golf championships HERE.
Three of Barry's five women return to a national championship setting after helping the Buccaneers qualify a year ago. Senior Taylor Babcock and sophomores Daniela Murray and Nancy Vergara all competed in the 2012 NCAA Championships. Freshmen Nicky Ferre and Maria Paola Fiorio will be making their first appearance in a national championship setting.
"Honestly, at any time I feel like any one of them can step up," Sykora said. "I feel like they all can do it at the same time, and that's what it's going to take."
Like the women, three men's players are back for another run at a national title. Seniors Simon Forsslund and Marcus Segerstrom and junior Scott Smyers each have NCAA Championship experience. Junior transfer Jared Dalga and freshman Adam Svensson will make their first trip to nationals.
"They're going about their business the last 10 days practicing, and they're very focused about what's in front of them," Stobs said. "We can't control the other teams. That's the most important thing in sports, no matter what sport it is.
"They know what's in front of them. They know what it's all about. It's all about championships. You don't want to be known as the yeah-but coach."
Stobs will never be considered that after winning a title in 2007.
"I want these guys to experience it," Stobs said. "I want these guys to experience victory in national championships. We feel confident, we feel good, and that's it."
And no, just because they're headed to Hershey doesn't mean there will be any trips to the chocolate factory.
"We're not going on vacation," Stobs said.
No, they'd rather be chewing on a championship.

Organic Veggies and Dirt for Baby, Chips and Tacos for Me
In my former life, before Leo, I cooked a lot. I read cookbooks and food magazines for fun. I shopped for food like some women shop for shoes, emerging from the Park Slope Food Coop with a spring in my step, my canvas bags full of leafy green vegetables, wild mushrooms, and ripe, seasonal fruits that would inspire our meals for the week. I loved food so much I became a food writer. And for all the strain of hustling to put together a viable freelance career, I loved the perks: working from home while something delicious simmered on the stove, eating freshly made salads for lunch, trying new restaurants and filing the receipts under "research." My former life wasn't perfect, but it was definitely delicious.
I don't do any of that any more. Leo eats paper, so my cookbooks are stacked in treacherous towers on top of the low bookshelves (which now contain train parts and fabric books; Where's EeBee? is a fave). We've gotten so far behind in our member work shifts at the Food Coop that we're no longer allowed to shop there (Paradise Lost!). I'm doing one of my full-time projects in an office right now, and last week, on my birthday no less, I called a 50 cent bag of sour cream and onion potato chips lunch. On the plus side, I looked a little thinner the next day, and could probably get rich quick marketing the chip diet to other sedentary types who work near a vending machine.
Leo, however, has never had a potato chip, and I'm trying to keep him from making paper his primary food source. So this Sunday we went to an overpriced organic market to buy him chard, kale, sweet potatoes, squash, maple-oat teething biscuits, unsalted rice cakes, avocados, Greek yogurt, goat cheese, bananas, apples, chicken and gluten-free fusilli. I fed Leo broccoli and lentil soup for dinner (he was ravenous all weekend, and kept crawling over to the kitchen to stand at the baby gate and shout for a snack). Then we put him to bed and ate a meal based around a can of refried beans.
In my former life, I would have found this a tad pitiful, and I might not have wanted to make our night's menu public. But you know how they say that toddlers may not always eat a balanced meal, and as long as their diets balance out over the course of a few days, it's fine? Well, I figure that counts for us too. And thanks to Leo's solid naps today (he's particularly hungry and tired these days, possibly because he spends every waking minute moving), we did pretty well in the cooking and eating department actually.
During Leo's morning nap, I made whole-grain soda bread for breakfast from The River Cottage Family Cookbook, which Aaron gave me for my birthday. We ate it warm with honey and cheddar cheese, and Leo enjoyed some for a snack when he got up. I made lentil soup and a green salad for lunch, which we sat down to during Leo's afternoon nap. We hadn't had a salad in so long it felt like a gleeful celebration of spring. But tonight, I'm working, so out came the can opener.
We spent most of dinner discussing how wonderful we think our child is. How he tasted dirt at the park today (healthy?), how he had so much soup for dinner his tummy hung over his diaper before bathtime, how he and our downstairs neighbor, 8 month old Sadie, were so happy to reunite this morning that they crawled headfirst into each other. In my former life, all that gloating about a kid with a rashy face and a tendency to fill diapers at the worst possible moments would have seemed absurd. Luckily, all that's behind me now.

text: Parallel job checkpointing is not easy. If you are running an MPI program, perhaps you could use the AMPI implementation available at http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu. I work on this project, and it can provide checkpointing of MPI programs. The implementation also allows for dynamic load balancing(process migration) in a few different flavors, as well as automatic fault tolerance. AMPI, and its underlying Charm/Converse system run on a wide range of architectures from workstation clusters to BlueGene. So if you have an MPI program, switching to AMPI may be trivial, and using the special load balancing features would requre a few extra function calls(but it may be possible to do asynchronous load balancing as well). Also it is worthwhile to know exactly why you wish to checkpoint. Generally for large systems, say 5000 nodes, with long running applications(hours or days), it is needed to provide protection when a node dies. Please send me any questions you may have about charm.

SANTA ANA – One of two teenage hikers rescued during a four-day search of the rugged terrain around Holy Jim Canyon has been charged with drug possession after investigators found methamphetamine in his vehicle, authorities said.
Nicolas Cendoya, 19, is facing a felony count of possession of a controlled substance, a criminal complaint filed in Orange County Superior Court said.
News of the criminal charge angered Orange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer, who just a day earlier requested an investigation to determine whether the hikers "acted in a reckless way" that led to their being stranded and setting off "four days of very dangerous rescue maneuvers."
Spitzer said he was told by Orange County Sheriff's Department personnel Wednesday morning that Cendoya and the other rescued hiker, Kyndall Jack, 18, had admitted to having used what they believed to have been cocaine.
"Why should the taxpayers pay for that?" Spitzer asked about the wide-ranging rescue effort. "It was Cendoya and Jack that set the circumstances in motion … and apparently it is because of their illegal drug use. And my question tonight is why we didn't hear about this at the beginning."
Cendoya and Jack embarked on their Easter Sunday hike early in the afternoon, hoping to touch low-hanging clouds. By nightfall, they were lost, running out of water and struggling to provide directions on a dying cellphone to emergency dispatchers after making a detour up the mountain.
Cendoya was discovered dehydrated and delirious in an area of thick brush three days later. Jack was found the next day lying on a rock ledge, hypothermic, confused and showing signs of dehydration.
Both recalled little from their ordeal other than hallucinations they suffered and said they didn't know how they became separated.
During the search, deputies investigating a vehicle for information that could lead to the pair found 497 milligrams of methamphetamine, leading to the felony charge filed against Cendoya this week, said Farrah Emami, a spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Authorities say the rescue effort cost an estimated $160,000, as personnel from the Orange, Riverside and Los Angeles county sheriff's departments and the Orange County Fire Authority spent more than 1,900 man-hours scouring the wilderness on foot, horseback and by helicopter.
A reserve Orange County sheriff's deputy was seriously injured while trying to reach Jack.
Sheriff's Department officials have indicated that they were not planning to seek reimbursement from Cendoya or Jack for the cost of the rescue.
Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Gail Krause earlier this week indicated that the hikers had not been asked to submit to toxicology testing since the department had "found no evidence to substantiate that, and there is no further investigation."
Spitzer questioned why the indications of drug use weren't made public sooner. Sheriff's Department officials didn't immediately respond to questions regarding the delay between the drugs reportedly being found and charges filed or on the allegations that the hikers had admitted to drug use.
"I am incredibly perplexed. There are so many unanswered questions surrounding this situation," Spitzer said. "I don't know what to think at this point."
Supervisor John Moorlach said the fact that a criminal charge has been filed "certainly casts a shadow over whether or not the cost incurred should be waived."
Moorlach, who is a hiker, said the possibility of drug use could explain how the two teenagers got lost in the Holy Jim Canyon area.
"It certainly would make a whole lot of sense," Moorlach said. "There is no other way to explain their behavior."
Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairman Shawn Nelson said he didn't believe Cendoya or Jack should have to pay for their rescue.
"What's going to be next? Lifeguards don't save people if they have been out drinking?" Nelson asked.
In addition to the costs of the rescue itself, Spitzer noted that the county would likely have to pay workers' compensation due to the injuries sustained by the reserve deputy, who slipped and fell about 60 feet. The deputy is reportedly at home recovering from his injuries.
After hearing that Cendoya had been charged with drug possession, Spitzer said that on behalf of the county he called the District Attorney's Office to assert Marsy's Law, which guarantees victims the right to speak during sentencing and at other appropriate times during the legal process.
If convicted, Cendoya would face a sentencing range from probation to three years in jail, Emami said. He also would be eligible by law for a drug-diversion program in lieu of jail time.

FENTON, Michigan — The so-called basketball purists out there who lament the loss of pass-first point guard are not getting out to enough Fenton games.
Fenton senior Eric Mowery might be the best game-manager in the Flint area, and although the Fenton coaching staff knew his importance to their team, the point was driven home when they had to play a game without Mowery last week against Lapeer West. Minus Mowery, who missed the game because of a concussion, Fenton played disjointed, they struggled to get into their offense and their defense couldn't stay in front of Lapeer West point guard Cullen Turczyn. The result was a 15-point loss that dropped Fenton into a tie for first place in the league standings heading into a pivotal week where they had to play both Holly and Swartz Creek, the two teams challenging Fenton for the league title.

I guess the problem has not directly something to do with RHEL5.

Nothing speaks against a timeout of 60s. Many things can happen in 1200s - especially on the server side. > noatime,nodiratime,rw,noacl,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 You could try nolock on the client side and async on the server side. The user should take care that not two processes are writing into the same files to avoid race conditions. Cheers, Henning

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Dunwich' category.
Here's a fascinating story from The Independent about the Suffolk coastal city of Dunwich, which has disappeared beneath the waves of the North Atlantic. The city of Dunwich had several thousand inhabitants at the time of the Domesday Book (William the Conqueror's systematic census of the entire realm of England – conducted for taxation purposes!). It went into decline in the 14th century and was almost completely abandoned by 1750.
The town had been important enough to be granted two members of the House of Commons in 1295. The population was down to 12 by 1800 and on election day the voters got into a boat and rowed out to the spot where the town square used to be! Dunwich is a classic example of a "rotten borough" abolished by the Reform Act of 1832. The political corruption caused by the "rotten boroughs" is one of the reasons why the authors of the US Constitution called for a census and reapportionment of the House of Representatives every ten years.
But I digress. Dunwich as an archeological site promises to yield an interesting picture of medieval life – if the difficulties of diving in the murky waters of the north Atlantic can be overcome.
This British Atlantis – with its eight churches, five houses of religious orders, three chapels and two hospitals – is now about to be exposed to human gaze for the first time since the first of a series of great storms and sea surges hit the East Anglian coast in 1286 and began the process of coastal erosion which led to the city's disappearance.

Def Leppard Will Tour America This Summer, Says Guitarist Vivian Campbell
Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell has revealed that the British rockers plan to mount a U.S. tour this summer, although cities and dates have not yet been revealed. "We're gonna go out again this summer," Campbell recently told Frankie DiVita, radio personality for 96.7 KCAL. "We don't know the exact details yet, but we'll be out in America this summer."
Guitiarist guitarist Phil Collen went into a little more detail about the band's plans during a recent interview with AOL's Noisecreep, revealing that Poison and maybe even Twisted Sister could end up joining them on the road. He said:
"We're actually going to be back on tour around when the [film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical 'Rock Of Ages'] is out, and it would be a lot of fun to get some of the other bands featured in 'Rock Of Ages' out with us. Nothing has been finalized yet, but apparently Poison will be joining us — at least according to [Poison singer] Bret Michaels, who has been telling everyone that they'll be touring with us this year. [Laughs] We went out with Poison in 2009, and we all had so much fun. If it does end up happening like that, I would love for the third band to be someone like Twisted Sister, since they're also in the new movie. I think that would make for a great lineup."
Can't argue with that, Phil. The big-screen adaptation of 'Rock of Ages,' starring Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand and others, is set to hit theaters in June.

If you're planning an event such as a wedding, birthday, engagement, anniversary, prom, college party, graduation, bar mitzvah, re-union, corporate event, or any other social occasion, your bound to be thinking of what entertainment you can use to entertain all guests, it's pretty hard to find suitable entertainment, for all ages, and for all personalities, but just recently in the UK, photobooth hire has become extremely popular, for the pure fact it brings so much fun to events, and also provides event guests with a perfect way to remember the event they attended in the form of a picture printed out from the photobooth system.
Photobooths are also very simple to hire, on the day of your event, a photobooth attendant brings the photobooth to wherever you are in the UK, for free, some places do incur extra charges though. Once the photobooth system is at your venue, the photobooth attendant then erects the photobooth system for you, the photobooth attendant also stays with the booth for the full hire time, to provide technical support, and to also help guests to familiarize themselves with the booth. At the end of your event the photobooth attendant then dismantles the photobooth system for you, and also takes it away for you, leaving you with nothing to worry about apart from having fun! Photobooth hire is definitely the best form of event entertainment.
