Consequent attacks after 'Id
During your first attack on the first day, you shoot the last idol and open the way to the place of sacrifice. Then you take off your Ihram and happily celebrate your victory! On the second day you must shoot again, but shoot the three of them. This time you take turns to shoot the first idol, then the second one and finally the last one. Your third day is a repetition of what you did on the second day. The fourth day you may stay in Mina or leave. If you decide to stay, you must repeat the shooting of the second or third day. If you decide not to stay on the fourth day, you must bury the remainder of your arms somewhere underground in Mina! This is a MUST!
These three days following the 'Id is called Ayyam-at-Tashriq. What do they mean? On the tenth day of Zul-Hijjah you exalted to Ibrahim's position, you got the courage "to sacrifice your Ismail", you defeated Satan in its last base at your first attack, you offered the sacrifice, you took off your Ihram and you came out victorious from the front of Mina! Why do you have to continue fighting? There is a lesson for you - do not forget that Satan may survive even after it was defeated! Every "revolution", no matter how successful it is, is always in danger of "counter-revolution". Numb snakes may wake up and change their colors while you are happy with victory, proud of power or busy with celebration! They may pretend to be your friends in order to join you and destroy the movement from within and take over the fruits of your revolution. They will be the HEIRS to the freedom-fighters and mourners for the martyrs!
Victory should not cause you to relax! So, when you have overcome Mina, do not let your hands off your arms. You have forced Satan out of your door BUT HE MAY RETURN THROUGH THE WINDOW! He was defeated "outside of you" but he may wake up inside of you". He was knocked down in war, but he may gain power in peace! He perished in Mina, but he may now flourish in you'! What am I saying?
"Temptation" has thousands of faces. He may be rejected as an unbeliever but will return to you as a man of strong faith! He may be rejected as a polytheist and he will present himself as a monotheist You may bury him in an idol-house, but he may show up at the altar You may kill him in Badr1, but he may be resurrected in Karbala ? He may be wounded in the Battle of the Trench in Medina and then re-occur in the mosque of Koufa. You may seize the idol of "Hebal" from his hands in Uhud, but he will raise the Holy Qur'an on swords to defeat you in Saffain!
You should not be so naive to think that the war is over after defeating Satan on the tenth day of Mina, to take off your armor, to put on your civilian dress, to use make-up and perfume, to celebrate your victory, to ignore the danger, to feel free to leave Mina for Mecca, to keep busy worshipping or to return home and start your business again! Oh you, the freedom-fighter, the follower of Ibrahim, do not forget the tenth of Zul-Hijjah is "the 'Id of Sacrifice and not "the 'Id of victory".
The sacrifice of Ismail is the beginning of Hajj and not the end of it! After a successful revolution, Oh soldiers of tawheed, do not leave your arms aside. Do not indulge too much in the happiness of your victory- there is always danger from the defeated army. The three bases were overthrown but the three idols (Satan) have their roots in Mina. After the 'Id, you should keep your heroic spirit and be prepared to fight at anytime. With the help of the other soldiers, you must be prepared to set a well timed and disciplined plan to eradicate those foundations.
- Revolutions are always in danger, even the most successful ones!
- Don't be too proud, even after the greatest victory!
- You are still in danger even if you were Ibrahim! Even after sacrificing your Ismail!
Satan has many colors and many more "tricks". Once Satan tried to cheat you with Ismail's life and today you may be cheated by the pride of sacrificing him! Always remain ready to fight)! Until you are in Mina, shoot the idols with your bullets.
Mina is the land of faith, love and the place of your hopes and needs. It is the front of all your glorious and honored victories. It is your Hajj, the peak of your perfection; the ideal of your life ... Mina is the first step of monotheism as well as the ambush of Satan, man's most dangerous enemy! You are always in Mina or Mina is always in you; you are always in danger since the idols are always ready to rebel. After the 'Id, while still in Mina, shoot the idols every day.
- Be ready to fight for freedom all your life.
- Fighting for freedom is not becoming a ruler or gaining power.
- By defeating your enemy, your fight is not over
- Celebrate the 'Id of Sacrifice and not the Victory.
- Take off your armor, but don't give up your arms.
- Victory may be gained in a day, but if you are careless, you will lose it at once.
- To wound the enemy, one shot is needed, but to be sure he is killed, seven shots may be needed.
- To take over the enemy's base, one attack may be enough and seven shots may be used, but to eradicate them, you need to attack more than once and use over seventy shots. - Divide the arms (pebbles) you collected in Mashar.
How many did you have? Seventy, here again seven and seventy? On day one (the tenth day) one attack seven bullets at the last idol On day two, three and four - three attacks and seven bullets to each idol (9 x 7 = 63). A total of seventy bullets in ten attacks, an even figure! The last attack on the fourth day (thirteenth of Zul-Hijjah) is an option. It is up to you. If you still feel the danger, you may stay- then you must shoot the three idols as the two previous days. Only one seventh of your collected arms are used to succeed over your enemy. Six sevenths are used to continue the struggle after the victory! This prevents the ill-fate of all movements and the inconspicuous outcome of many revolutions. Such happened to the Islamic movement when the political submission of Abu-Sufyan was confused with the true Islamic submission to Almighty God.
In order to prevent polytheism from disguising itself in monotheism, you have to struggle for twenty-three years, defeat the ignorance of Quraish. You must destroy the three bases of colonialism, capitalism and hypocrisy that were defeated in Badr the Trench from turning to the victorious side and seizing Islamic leadership. Even if you celebrated the victory of Saquifah, the murderer will revenge in Karbala, shedding the blood of the prophet's family at the bank of Euphrates. So much injustice was done in the name of the Caliphate of the messenger of God!

TORONTO – An Ottawa fertility doctor faces a disciplinary hearing Thursday over allegations he artificially inseminated three women with the wrong sperm.
Dr. Bernard Norman Barwin, a celebrated gynecologist, could lose his licence if the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario discipline panel finds he committed misconduct.
He agreed last year to stop the practice of insemination after the college filed its notice of hearing.
The medical college alleges that three of Barwin's patients discovered their children aren't biologically related to their husband or, in one case, the patient's chosen donor.
Two women with the same allegations sued Barwin a few years ago. The lawsuits were resolved last year, but neither the women's lawyer nor Barwin's lawyer could discuss the terms.
Barwin was invested in the Order of Canada in 1997 for his "profound impact on both the biological and psycho-social aspects of women's reproductive health."
A write-up on the Governor General's website says he has contributed greatly to the Planned Parenthood movement and the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada.
He founded the non-profit, pro-choice organization Canadians for Choice, which gives away an annual Dr. Norman Barwin Scholarship to a graduate student studying sexual health and reproductive rights.
If the College of Physicians and Surgeons' disciplinary panel finds Barwin committed professional misconduct or is incompetent, it can revoke his licence, suspend it, impose certain conditions or restrictions, reprimand him, order him to pay a fine or a combination of those sanctions.
Barwin's lawyer, Karen Hamway, said she couldn't comment on the allegations in advance of Thursday's hearing.
In the college's notice of hearing, it's alleged that "Patient A" became pregnant around June 2004 after being inseminated by Barwin, but later found out her child wasn't the product of the donor sperm she had chosen.
The college also alleges that Barwin was to inseminate "Patient C" in 2006 or 2007 with the sperm of her sister's husband, but that the resulting child was not the man's biological child.
The identities of the women aren't made public in the college's documents, but two of the circumstances described match those of two women who sued Barwin and his Broadview Fertility Clinic.
Trudy Moore and her husband Matthew Guest approached Moore's sister in 2006 to act as a surrogate for the couple, according to the family's statement of claim.
She agreed and Guest provided Barwin with two sperm samples, they alleged. The third time the sister was inseminated, the family believed it was from the remainder of Guest's first, frozen sample.
The sister discovered two weeks later that she was pregnant and in December 2007 gave birth to a girl.
A few days later they discovered the baby's blood type was positive, they allege. Both Guest and the sister have a negative blood type.
DNA tests later ruled out both Guest and the sister's husband as the baby's biological father, according to the statement of claim.
In a statement of defence, Barwin denied any wrongdoing and said he inseminated the sister with Guest's sperm from the second sample.
Jacqueline Slinn, the second woman to sue Barwin, believed she was inseminated with sperm from donor 3168, according to her statement of claim. She became pregnant in June 2004 and gave birth to a baby girl at the Ottawa General Hospital.
Slinn joined a donor sibling registry in April 2007 and got in contact with other mothers who said they had been inseminated with donor 3168 sperm.
Slinn and two other 3168 mothers had their children tested and discovered none shared the same biological father, she alleged. Slinn arranged for more testing and found out her daughter was not a match for 3168, she alleged.
Barwin denied her allegations in a statement of defence.
As a resolution was reached, the claims were not proven in court.
The college also outlines allegations from a third woman, "Patient D," dating back to the 1980s. The woman went to Barwin to artificially inseminate her with her husband's sperm that he had frozen before cancer treatments in 1984, the college alleges.
She got pregnant after the artificial insemination, but her son wasn't her husband's biological child, it's alleged.
Barwin was born in South Africa and obtained his medical degree in 1965 from the Queen's University of Belfast.
According to a biography on the website for Canadians for Choice, Barwin is a past president of the Canadian Fertility Society, the Planned Parenthood Federation of Canada and that organization's Ottawa chapter.
Reviews of Barwin on the website RateMDs.com are largely glowing. Many patients appear to have posted comments supporting Barwin on the website in response to news of the lawsuits.
"I've been a patient of Dr.Barwin's now for about 10 yrs," one patient wrote. "Will I change doctor's now considering what he is being accused of? Absolutely not!!! He has helped me tremendously."
Another patient called him a "baby God."
"His compassion, respect, knowledge (this list goes on) does not compare to anyone or dr. I have met in my lifetime," the patient wrote. "I owe so much to this man, he never let me give up, he always wanted the best for me and he tried the hardest he could and I finally had my miracle baby I always wanted."

Atlanta, Ga. – Agricultural and restaurant business leaders say Arizona-style laws aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration threaten their industry.
They're appealing to Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform to avert what they describe as a crisis.
Our immigration system is broken; it can only be fixed at the federal level. We urge Congress to immediately address this issue that is so important for jobs and for our business community.
- Larry Wooten, President of the North Carolina Farm Bureau
The leaders took part Monday in what was billed as the first immigration summit in the Southeast, where agricultural businesses are prevalent and where an increasing number of immigrants -- many undocumented -- have settled in the last decade.
The summit, titled "Forging a New Consensus on Immigrants and America," drew nearly 200 business owners, farmers, clergy, political leaders and police from such states as Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee as well as Georgia, the site of the gathering.
"Agriculture is a very labor-intensive industry," said Larry Wooten, president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau. "Farmers across the nation want — and need — an adequate, legal work force. Our immigration system is broken; it can only be fixed at the federal level. We urge Congress to immediately address this issue that is so important for jobs and for our business community."
Wooten told the audience that states must not have their own immigration laws because it is a complex matter as necessary for the federal government to take control over as are things such as "managing our military or our money supply."
He said agriculture is a $70 billion industry, with more than one million workers, of whom nearly 75 percent are undocumented.
He balked at the assertion by proponents of strict immigration enforcement that businesses that heavily employ undocumented workers are simply choosing to exploit cheap labor.
Many proponents of strict immigration laws say that Americans will do jobs they are accused of refusing to do if employers pay better wages and make more of an effort to make those jobs appealing. Such proponents are firmly opposed to immigration measures that would give undocumented immigrants a pathway to legalization; they condemn that as "amnesty."
Wooten, as well as others in the farming business who attended the summit, argued that there are jobs Americans do not want to do, and that agricultural jobs are chief among them.He said that agricultural employers who advertise jobs -- as is required for those who are part of the federal guest worker program -- for nearly two months get little to no response.
"We have no choice," Wooten said. "We must use immigrants."
Tim Rabon, human resources manager for a family farming business in South Carolina that, like others in the industry, heavily relies on immigrant workers, said in an interview with Fox News Latino that his company advertised work in Mississippi for six weeks and got 15 responses.
"Some people just didn't qualify, even though harvesting is not 'highly skilled' labor. It is very specialized and you need to be really skilled," Rabon said. "It's very hard work. Those who did qualify didn't last long -- they just quit. The person who lasted the longest stayed on the job five days before quitting. Why did they quit? They said the work is just too hard."
He said tougher immigration laws -- or the prospect of a state adopting a tough immigration law -- have scared away many immigrants, including some workers and prospective employees.
As recently as three years ago, he said, his farm company -- which harvests greens, such as collard and kale -- had no trouble attracting about 20 people a week looking for work.
Now, they barely get one or two people, he said, because so many immigrants have fled the state or are afraid to seek employment.
Rabon says his company has been in farming 85 years, and makes sure to check employment eligibility documents when considering hiring someone. They have about 120 employees, he said.
"If someone presents documents that appear valid, we have to accept them," he said.
Summit organizers hope to hold such gatherings around the country to build up momentum for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, which would include tighter, more focused enforcement as well as a pathway to legalization for undocumented immigrants who meet a strict set of criteria.
The summit was held as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to issue a decision on Arizona's law, SB 1070, which is aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration by criminalizing it. The U.S. Department of Justice, which brought a lawsuit challenging the law, argues that it usurps federal authority on immigration. The Supreme Court ruling, expected by the end of June, is expected to influence whether other states attempt to pass their own immigration laws.
More than 30 states considered new laws targeting illegal immigration last year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Most of them were modeled after Arizona's Senate Bill 1070.
Census figures show that Hispanics -- who now are the nation's largest minority group, at 48 million -- contributed more to population gains than blacks in 13 of the 16 Southern states over the last decade, compared with seven states for Hispanics from 1990-2000.
Tensions -- over immigration, measures proposing English as the official language -- have arisen along with the growth of Latino presence in these Southern states.
"The Department of Justice is challenging Arizona's law, arguing that it is intruding on the federal government's exclusive authority to make and enforce immigration laws," said former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who served under President George W. Bush and was the summit's keynote speaker. "But with authority comes also responsibility, and our national leaders have failed us. It's time for our federal officials to step up, show leadership and pass comprehensive immigration reform."
There are an estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Roughly half are people who enter legally, but overstay their visas.

CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson women's basketball team returns to action after a week-long hiatus when they take on South Carolina State (5-2) in Littlejohn Coliseum on Sunday at 2:00 pm. It will be Clemson's (1-6) final game before final exams, which take place next week.
The game will be broadcast live on TigerCast at ClemsonTigers.com, and on WCCP 104.9 FM. The game is a coat drive, and anyone that brings new or gently-used coat will receive free admission.
Clemson has won three in a row and 13 of 16 overall in the series, which dates back to Clemson's first season of women's basketball in 1975-76. Last season, Clemson defeated the Bulldogs, 83-38, in their second game of the year in Littlejohn Coliseum. That meeting was one of the most complete in the Itoro Coleman era, as it was the fourth-most points scored and fewest points allowed in her 65 games as head coach.
Clemson also held SC State to .185 shooting, the third-best defensive mark in school history, and Clemson's plus-32 rebounding margin was ninth-best ever.
In their most recent action, the Lady Tigers downed Jacksonville, 87-58, behind five players scoring in double figures. It was Clemson's greatest scoring output since 2009, and their best shooting day since January of 2011.
The Bulldogs and Lady Tigers have had two common opponents in the early season. Both teams defeated Jacksonville by more than 20 points. South Carolina State defeated Presbyterian College, while Clemson fell to the Blue Hose in the season opener at the buzzer, 49-46.
Clemson is second in the ACC in fewest turnovers per game at 16.0 per outing, while the Bulldogs are forcing 22.9 per game.
The Lady Tigers are led in scoring by freshman Danaejah Grant, who leads all league freshmen at 13.4 points per game. Sophomore Nikki Dixon is coming off a career-best 25 points and nine rebounds in her last outing, and is averaging 11.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as well.
Jonquel Jones has tallied three double-doubles this season, including 15 points, 11 rebounds, and five blocks last game. She's fourth in the ACC and second among league freshmen in rebounding (9.4 per game) and shot-blocking (2.1 per game).
Clemson will have a week before their next contest on Dec. 16, when they'll take on Radford in Littlejohn Coliseum.

Rumors that the new iPad runs at a higher temperature than the iPad 2 aren't just hot air after all.
Consumer Reports today said that the new iPad can hit temperatures as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit when performing tasks that tax the device's processor, such as graphics-intensive games. Consumer Reports said that the new iPad only hit 116 degrees after playing the game "Infinity Blade II" for 45 minutes and then being plugged into an adapter. Prior to being plugged in, the device ran at a temperature of 113 degrees.

SLIDESHOW: 10 terrific apps for the new iPad
All the same, Consumer Reports said that the new iPad was significantly hotter than the iPad 2 when tested under the same conditions. So when the iPad 2 had played "Infinity Blade II" for 45 minutes and was then plugged into an adapter, its temperature hit 104 degrees. When unplugged, the device reached 100 degrees. Consumer Reports measured temperatures of the devices using thermal imaging cameras.
Consumer Reports Senior Editor Donna Tapellini said that while the new iPad felt much warmer when she touched it, it didn't seem to be dangerously hot.
"When it was at its hottest, it felt very warm but not especially uncomfortable if held for a brief period," she wrote, also noting that Apple recommends that users not run the new iPad in environments where temperatures are 95 degrees of higher.
The fact that the new iPad runs at a higher temperature than previous models is hardly surprising since the new device comes with a dual-core CPU, a quad-core GPU and an LTE chipset while maintaining roughly the same size and battery life as previous models. Nevertheless, some new iPad users have voiced their concerns about the device's temperature to websites such as the Boy Genius Report. The device has also come under criticism from teardown specialists iFixit for being easily breakable and difficult to repair.

Picking up from the Employee Benefit Research Institute's 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey, released earlier this month, survey co-sponsor New York Life highlighted the finding that American workers embrace automatic enrollment in workplace retirement plans.
The survey found that if they were automatically enrolled in a retirement plan at a 3% rate, just 11% would opt out; 16% said they would opt out if they were defaulted into the plan at 6%. New York Life noted, however, that it has seen opt-out rates even lower than those. The company said just 5% of participants who were automatically enrolled in a plan opted out.
Mat Greenwald, co-author of the study and president of Mathew Greenwald & Associates, said on a media call announcing the results that "some employers overestimate how many people will be upset" about the rate at which employees are defaulted into a plan, adding that most who default their employees at a higher rate probable haven't seen a "revolution."
"A staggering number of American workers aren't saving for retirement, but the EBRI study shows they are open to new solutions. Nine in 10 employees not saving for retirement acknowledge that they would if their employer auto-enrolled them," David Castellani, CEO of New York Life Retirement Plan Services, said in a statement.
New York Life suggested increasing participation rates through "auto-sweeps," which re-enroll employees annually. Over 70% of participants who left a plan and were auto-swept back into it stayed in the plan in 2012. The company said 10% of its clients employed auto-sweeping last year.

NEW YORK, May 18 (UPI) -- A New York judge suffering from terminal cancer says he has been using marijuana illegally before dinner and at bedtime.
In an op-ed published Thursday in The New York Times, state Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach called the state law that outlaws medical marijuana "barbaric."
"Inhaled marijuana is the only medicine that gives me some relief from nausea, stimulates my appetite, and makes it easier to fall asleep," he said.
Reichbach has been a judge for more than two decades, sitting on the Supreme Court, the trial-level court in New York, in the borough of Brooklyn. He continues to serve as a judge.
A state Assembly committee released a bill Tuesday that would legalize marijuana for medical purposes in New York. While the measure seems likely to pass the lower house, the state Senate has a history of rejecting such bills or denying them a vote, the Times said.
State Sen. Diane Savino, a Democrat from Staten Island, said Reichbach's public admission was "incredibly moving and brave," the New York Daily News reported.
A source told the News that Reichbach is likely to die before any state disciplinary process reached a conclusion. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and went into remission, only to have a recurrence of cancer a month ago.
Reichbach said he gets his marijuana from friends.

What a funny, original love story, very clever and entertaining. I enjoying it thoroughly. And finally, a romantic comedy from the guy's point of view!
Don Tillman is autistic and sees the world through the lens of logic without a lot of emotion because he is simply incapable of it. His brain is not wired that way. The subtleties of humour and sarcasm are lost on him, which is what makes the book hilarious (a bit like Sheldon in the The Big Bang Theory). He thrives in an atmosphere of routine, predictability, and of course science. When Don decides that it might be advantageous to acquire a partner, he sets out on the Wife Project. Of course the survey he devises as a means for finding a suitable candidate efficiently, is totally objective and meant to screen out people who smoke and drink, who are chronically late, overweight, vegetarian etc. But into his life walks Rosie, who meets none of the right criteria, but has quite an unexpected effect on him!
When I did my usual research on the author, I was surprised by what I found. Before Graeme Simsion's mid-life career change to novelist, he was an information technology consultant with a PhD! He decided to go into screenwriting which then led him into writing 'The Rosie Project'. He found himself to be uniquely qualified in this new endeavour despite what the skeptics might say about going from technology to writing novels. Actually the processes and skills used in design theory for data-modelling transferred well to the writing, helping him with the construct of the novel. See his Ted Talk where he describes this a bit more.
In an era when many people undergo mid-life career shifts, the story of the author is as compelling as the Rosie Project itself and is very encouraging. The creative elements you know in one field, can help you in a seemingly unrelated field if you are willing to think outside of the box and apply what you know to something new.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. -- Penn State senior quarterback Matt McGloin (Scranton) was honored Monday (Dec. 3) by the Springdale Rotary Club as the winner of the third annual Burlsworth Trophy, presented to the nation's outstanding college football player who began his career as a walk-on.
The record-setting signal-caller broke nine school passing records and tied another during his impressive senior campaign and was honored at a banquet in Springdale, Ark., with the other finalists.
The Burlsworth Trophy was first presented in 2010 in honor of Brandon Burlsworth, a former All-American and walk-on offensive lineman at the University of Arkansas. Burlsworth died in an automobile accident 11 days after being selected by the Indianapolis Colts as the 63rd overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. The previous winners of the trophy are Austin Davis (Southern Miss) in 2011 and Sean Bedford (Georgia Tech) in 2010.
"It is great for the University," said McGloin. "To be honored as the top walk-on for this year's graduating class is a great honor. I wouldn't have been able to be here without the support of my family, teammates, coaches and fans. It's really because of those people that I am where I am today and am able to win such a prestigious award."
"To learn about Brandon and what he stood for and what he went through is incredible," McGloin said. "To win an award with such distinction and emotion attached to it is truly a great honor. I was blessed to even be a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, but to win it is even a bigger honor. I want to thank Barbara Burlsworth, the Springdale Rotary Club, the Burlsworth Foundation and everyone else involved in this event. It has been an amazing experience, and they have all been such great hosts."
The other finalists were safety Jordan Kovacs (Michigan) and tackle David Quessenberry (San Jose State). Fifty players were nominated for the 2012 Burlsworth Trophy.
"Today took me back to the beginning of my career," said McGloin. "(This week) I looked back at what I have gone through and the journey that I have taken at Penn State and to be recognized for my accomplishments and the way that I got to Penn State is a true blessing. I am fortunate to be in the company of such great people that are involved with this award and to win such an amazing award today is just indescribable."
McGloin joined the Nittany Lions in 2008 and has emerged as one of Penn State's most prolific signal-callers in its 126-year history. A starter in 10 games prior to this season, McGloin was named the starting quarterback in June and flourished in Coach Bill O'Brien's offense, starting all 12 games this year.
The former West Scranton High School standout broke nine school records and tied another during his superlative senior campaign. He was instrumental in helping the Nittany Lions win eight of their last 10 games, compiling an 8-4 overall record and 6-2 Big Ten mark, finishing second in the Leaders Division.
For the season, McGloin was 270 of 446 (60.5 percent) for 3,266 yards, with 24 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. He also was second on the team with five touchdown runs. An honorable mention All-Big Ten choice, McGloin was selected Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week on Nov. 19 after throwing for 395 yards, just four yards off the school record, and a career-high tying four touchdowns in Penn State's 45-22 win over Indiana.
McGloin led the Big Ten in passing yards (272.2 ypg) by 25 yards per game. He also led the conference in completions (270) and touchdown passes (24) and fewest interceptions among the Big Ten starting signal-callers. McGloin threw at least one touchdown pass in his last 13 consecutive regular season games, with multiple TD passes in eight games this season.
Under McGloin's direction, Penn State led the Big Ten in total offense (437 ypg) in conference games and was second in scoring offense (32.6 ppg) and pass offense (283.1 ypg) against Big Ten foes. McGloin led the Nittany Lions to more than 500 yards of total offense three times in conference play, topped by 546 yards vs. Indiana, its highest total against a Big Ten foe since gaining 557 yards against Michigan State in 2008
McGloin's Penn State records include:
-- Career touchdown passes (46)
-- Season touchdown passes (24-tied)
-- Season completions (270)
-- Season passing yardage (3,266)
-- Season pass attempts (446)
-- Single game completions (35)
-- Career 300-yard passing games (6)
-- Career 200-yard passing games (18)
-- Season 200-yard passing games (11)
-- Consecutive 200-yard passing games (10)
McGloin earned his degree in journalism last May and is working on a second degree, in telecommunications.

More concerns about possible impact of Fukushima
Paul Joseph Watson
January 6, 2014
Readings taken from snow blanketing St. Louis, Missouri contains double the normal radiation amount, once again stoking concerns that the ongoing Fukushima crisis is now firmly impacting areas of America.
"The radiation return from the snow precipitation is returning DOUBLE the normal background amounts. Normal background in this area is approximately 30CPM," writes YouTube user DutchSinse, alongside a video documenting the readings.
"This means small particles of radioactive material are indeed coming down in the precipitation. Past tests show around 30CPM in the same spot on a nice day with no precipitation," he adds, noting that snowstorms in 2012 also showed alert level radiation readings.
As we reported earlier, Geiger counter readings taken on a beach in San Francisco returned results five times the safe level of normal background radiation, prompting federal officials to launch an investigation.
Whether such readings are linked to the ongoing Fukushima crisis is unknown, but the fact that officials in Japan have been duplicitous in downplaying the true scale of radiation releases at almost every turn has understandably fanned the flames of suspicion.
Last week it was reported that new plumes of radioactive steam were emerging from the crippled reactor number 3 at the plant, but TEPCO representatives refused to explain the cause.
A former Fukushima worker also recently revealed that duct tape and wire nets were used to "repair" leaking radioactive water tanks in 2012 as a cost cutting measure.
The Department of Health and Human Services has ordered 14 million doses of potassium iodide, the compound that protects the body from radioactive poisoning in the aftermath of severe nuclear accidents, but a DHHS official denied that the purchase was connected to the Fukushima crisis.

Mapping closely to the upcoming production device, the DV sports dual A72 and quad A53 cores, along with a host of M-cores and dual Vivante GC7000XSVX GPUs. Combined graphics processing jumps sixfold over the previous generation of i.MX devices. The device also has a strong hardware isolation story: 16 partitions are available to map the various hardware blocks on the device and guarantee isolation between them. This architecture greatly facilitates virtualization and even the ability to partition hardware independent of a hypervisor.
Why is this so great? Chips this powerful can span multiple displays in the vehicle. You could have an infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster running on a single i.MX8. Because you don't have to worry about virtualizing a single GPU (which is quite the challenge), you can carve up the chip's graphics and processing power to isolate the infotainment system from the cluster. This, in turn, minimizes your scope of certification. Achieving ISO 26262 for a cluster is daunting enough; achieving it for a complex infotainment system as well is off the scale.
This device marks a change in how QNX Software Systems and NXP work together. For the first time NXP is bringing up a new chip on the QNX OS and Linux in parallel. Usually, Linux come first, but not this time. I am, needless to say, delighted by this level of cooperation between our two companies.
At FTF, NXP demonstrated the i.MX 8DV, and it looked great.

The World Series, which begins today, will determine 2009 on-field primacy, as two classic franchises, the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies, battle for the crown. But in a longer-lasting contest—money—the results are already in: The Daily Beast set out to determine the 10 biggest-earners in baseball, factoring in salaries, bonuses and endorsement income. And if wallet size translates into runs, the Yankees will win in a rout—five Yankees clock in among the top 10, and took the first four slots. The Phillies placed one player, Ryan Howard, who eked out the final spot on our list.

For baseball players, financially, it's both the best and worst of times. For the superstars, contracts have never been higher, paced by the person at the top of our list, Alex Rodriguez, and his $275 million deal. But the middle tier is getting squeezed. And the steroid scandal—including Rodriguez's stunning admission earlier this year—has devastated the ability of many players to secure endorsement deals from image-conscious companies, which loathe a surprise.
"Baseball players are now very limited on a national level," says Steve Rosner, co-founder of 16W Marketing, which represents squeaky clean Cal Ripken, Jr. "It's all about finding the right guy."
Another factor placing downward pressure on baseball-player endorsements: a culture that makes everyone a celebrity. "You have a proliferation of reality stars, chefs, etc.," says Doug Shabelman, president of Burns Entertainment. "They're now endorsing products that athletes would have been perfect for years ago."
Cry not for the men paid millions to play a game. The minimum salary for a wet-eared rookie is $400,000, many hundred players make more than $1 million a year, and you needed almost $17 million in income just to crack our Top 10.
• Baseball's All-Time Sexiest Wives and GirlfriendsHere were the rules of our game: We calculated money paid in 2009, encompassing salary, bonuses, and endorsement deals. The money had to come this year: Deferred income wasn't counted (which removed several favorites for this list, Ichiro Suzuki, Manny Ramirez and Johan Santana), and only signing bonuses paid in 2009 were counted. Hopefully, our figures mirror their tax returns. Through public and proprietary sources, we saw the details of each player's contract; our endorsement figures are estimates, based on numerous conversations with industry experts.

Down they went, one by one.
Mundelein football coach George Kaider predicted it.
A group of about six boys, buddies who ran in the same circles, stopped by Kaiders office one day last winter to tell him that they were interested in joining the football team.
None of them had ever played before. And all of them had some behavioral baggage. They were looking for a way to stay out of trouble.
Kaider, who had just taken over the program, welcomed them with open arms. But he doubted their sincerity, not to mention their fortitude.
After all, grueling workouts before dawn arent for the casually committed.
I kept telling them that I didnt know if they were going to make it, Kaider said during his teams 5:30 a.m. weightlifting sessions day in and day out during the dead of winter. I was trying to motivate them and use (reverse psychology). I would say, I think you guys are going to quit.
Sure enough, one after another, the boys did quit. Except for one of them.
Julio Sermeno didnt let tough, early morning workouts beat him. Instead, he let football save him.
In an often painful and grueling winless season for the Mustangs, Sermeno has been a ray of hope and inspiration, and a reminder that wins and losses arent always the most important byproducts of high school sports.
Football makes me feel like I actually did something good in high school, Sermeno said.
A starter at nose guard all season for the Mustangs, Sermeno has found the strength and the will power to turn his back on a destructive, checkered past. As recently as a year ago, Sermenos rap sheet included drug and alcohol use as well as gang activity. He had also been expelled from school twice.
Playing football has kept him far away from that life.
I dont know where it all went wrong, but I was influenced by the wrong people and, you know, youre a teenager and you have an immature brain, said Sermeno, now a 17-year-old senior. I was hanging out with people who were doing drugs and doing stuff with gangs. I had really screwed up.
The trouble started at West Oak Middle School and got so bad that Sermeno was expelled for an entire year.
The same thing happened during his sophomore year at Mundelein.
It was so hard for my parents, Sermeno said of Camilo and Cristina. They couldnt understand what I was doing. They were embarrassed and they would tell me that they couldnt even go on the street with their son being expelled from school. It was terrible for them, but even after the first time, I still didnt learn.
When Sermeno was expelled from Mundelein, he was assigned to the Lake County Regional Office of Education in order to take classes and work on life skills.
He returned to Mundelein as a junior, midway through the school year.
(The Lake County Regional Office of Education) can be a sad place for kids because they dont want to be there, away from their friends, Kaider said. Its an eye-opener. I think when Julio got back (to Mundelein), it really clicked with him that he needed to do something different. He wanted to do something different.
Always a decent student, Sermeno also came from a loving family in which both parents lived at home. In that regard, he was better off than a lot of the kids he ran with. The problem for him was filling idle time with constructive activities and finding better influences to associate with at school and outside of school.
Paul Thatcher, Sermenos guidance counselor, was ready to suggest something a bit outside the box. Sermeno had never spent a day during his high school career playing sports. And he had never played football in his life.
But since Thatcher works right next door to Kaider, also a guidance counselor, he had football on his mind.
I remember talking to Julio one day about how football could be such a positive for him, Thatcher said. When he got back, he knew that something had to change and I told him that I thought it was important for him to be a part of something.
Its been great to see the changes in Julio since he started with football. He has goals now, and a direction. Hes gone from wanting to just graduate from high school, to wanting to go to college now, too. He is motivated to succeed. He has such a desire to move his life in the right direction. I dont think hell ever go back to the way things were.
Sermeno loves his new life too much.
He lives for games like last week against North Chicago in which he forced 2 fumbles and recovered one as well. Hes also getting better grades and making friends with students he never would have talked to just a year ago.
One of the best parts of football is getting to have teammates and being friends with all of them, Sermeno said. There are so many good influences on my team, and we all get along and support each other.
A lot of the guys have told me that if it werent for football, they probably would have never gotten to know me and if they had seen me in the hallway, they probably wouldnt have liked me because they knew about what I used to do. It just goes to show you that you cant always judge a book by the cover because that might not be what the person is really about. No matter how bad things are, there is good in most people.
It didnt take long for Sermeno to convince his teammates and coaches of that.
He showed up to the early morning workouts like clockwork, day after day after day. In fact, he never missed a single one.
Sermeno also never lost his enthusiasm, even as his friends were dropping like flies.Guys respect that, Kaider said. The other guys see a kid who is trying to change his life around and trying to take a stand. Julio commands a lot of respect on our team.
The 6-foot, 195-pound Sermeno also commands attention on the football field. His work ethic and dedication transformed him into a relentless lineman that opposing offenses cannot afford to ignore.
When we played Warren two weeks ago, they had a difficult time blocking Julio, Kaider said. He was in their backfield all night long. He made a ton of plays. Hes quick, aggressive and Im telling you that if I had him two years instead of just this one, hed be an all-area player. Hes that good. Its amazing what Julio has been able to do in one year having never played football before.
Sermeno isnt lamenting getting such a late start. He simply lives in the moment, cherishing the experience as well as his second chance at a healthy, productive future.
Hes also excited about getting his younger brother Diego, an eighth grader, involved in football.
My parents say that football would be good for my brother. They dont want him to go through what I did and they think football could really help him like it helped me, Sermeno said. Football has kept me on track. I have a different mentality and there are a lot of things I want to do now.
Sermeno, who is getting As in some of his classes, is anxious to visit colleges. Hes planning to get a business degree. A year ago, Sermeno thought he had no future.
I think Ive surprised a lot of people, Sermeno said. I kind of surprised myself, too. Im really proud. This is something Im going to tell my kids about. Ill tell them I had some downs in high school but I also had some pretty good ups.

Communication is essential in any healthy relationship. We communicate to give praise to others and express our desires. It can be verbal or nonverbal, and each form can send a different message than the other. It is important for believers to be communicating with their creator (God) in a similar way, expressing adoration of Him, confessing our sins, giving thanks and sharing our desires. We communicate with God through prayer.

It looks as if the Prometheus sequel is indeed moving forward. Anticipation for Ridley Scott's Alien-esque sci-fi pic was at a fever pitch when the film hit theaters, but reaction was enthusiastically polarized. Some loved that Scott left many questions unanswered and tackled large ideas, while others were distracted by the script's plot holes and ridiculously inept scientists. I fell somewhere in between, but I'd by lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing where Scott plans to go for the follow-up.
Fresh off the film's healthy box office take (especially for an R-rated sci-fi movie), Fox has now revealed that they are actively moving forward with the Prometheus sequel, and screenwriter Damon Lindelof may not be returning this time around. Hit the jump for more.
In a feature over at THR that runs down this summer's blockbusters by studio, Fox confirmed that Scott and the studio are "actively pushing ahead with a follow-up," with an eye towards a 2014 or 2015 release. Moreover, Fox is talking to new writers about coming onboard to pen the sequel because Prometheus co-writer Lindelof may be unavailable. The Lost co-creator recently had to pass a rewrite job on World War Z over to Drew Goddard because he's currently focused on writing and prepping his new TV series at HBO.
Scott has made no secret about the fact that he's incredibly keen on making a sequel to Prometheus, and shortly after the pic opened I penned a rundown of what we knew about the follow-up so far. Scott had revealed that he knew exactly where the sequel would be going while he was making Prometheus:
"I know where it's going. I know that to keep [David] alive is essential and to keep [Elizabeth] alive is essential and to go where they came from, not where I came from, is essential."
Both Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace are contracted to return for the follow-up (which could easily become one of the best roadtrip movies ever), but there's no word on whether any of the other characters would appear in flashbacks or whatnot. I would be genuinely interested to see Lindelof return to pen the sequel, but I understand he's a busy guy and Scott wants to get moving on Prometheus 2 sooner rather than later. The scribe previously talked about his involvement/non-involvement with the follow-up:
"If Ridley wants me to be involved in something, that would be hard to say no to. At the same time, I do feel like the movie might benefit from a fresh voice or a fresh take or a fresh thought. Sometimes the baton should be passed, if that's what the story demands. I had [Prometheus] for the period of time that I was running the race, and if that story continues, it could actually benefit going into someone else's able hand. Although, I feel like some of the iceberg below the water for any potential future movies in that storyline has already been constructed based on conversations that Ridley and I had about it."
2014 seems a bit early, especially since Scott is developing a Blade Runner sequel that he's high on directing as well. I assume 2015 is a more likely release date for Prometheus 2, and Fox president of production Emma Watts cautioned that they don't want to rush things too quickly on the follow-up:
"Ridley is incredibly excited about the movie, but we have to get it right. We can't rush it."
It's incredibly refreshing to see that Fox is interested in making sure that the film is ready before they stamp a firm release date on Prometheus 2, so hopefully the final product will be well worth the wait. For now, it sounds like we'll definitely be following Fassbender and Rapace's characters on their quest to find where the Engineers came from (the planet shown in Prometheus was not the home planet of the Engineers, nor the same planet visited in Alien), and I'm more than intrigued to see the end result.
For much more on what the possible follow-up could entail, including a possible answer to one of the major lingering questions in Prometheus—why did the Engineers target humanity for destruction?—click on over to our previous recap of Prometheus 2. Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on this sci-fi sequel, as I'm sure there are many.

Yes, he's George's son…like you couldn't tell that just to look at the guy. Talk about a classic case of "like father, like son." But while they clearly resemble each other, the similarity in their music isn't always so obvious. Bullz-Eye had an opportunity to speak with Dhani Harrison about the latest record by his band, thenewno2, their experiences with the "Rock Band" franchise and how it led to the Beatles getting involved in the game, and his work in completing his father's final album, Brainwashed. Obviously, we jumped at the chance. First, however, we had to actually get on the phone with each other for more than 60 seconds. Our first attempt fell apart due to some scheduling issues, though Dhani was kind enough to call me personally to tell me that we wouldn't be able to talk as planned. Fortunately, we were able to work out a time to talk properly a few days later.
Bullz-Eye: Hello?
Dhani Harrison: Hello, it's Dhani Harrison. Hi!
BE: Hey, how are you?
DH: Good. Very good.
BE: Good to talk to you…again. (Laughs)
DH: (Laughs) Yeah!
BE: It's been a long several days of publicity, I would guess?
DH: Yes, exactly. Yeah, it's been a long one.
BE: Well, I've checked out the album. It's good, although as I said to Oli, I don't think I would necessarily refer to it as being overtly pop.
DH: No, I wouldn't say pop has anything really to do with it. When did you get the copy?
BE: Actually, I don't have a hard copy. I listened to the stream that's online.
DH: Oh, right. The stream.
BE: When you approached it, did you have a mindset for what kind of styles you would be pursuing?
DH: Yeah, the whole Bristol music scene from the 90's was very influential to me. You know, Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, all those guys. That was sort of the most important music in my life. Tricky, at least. And just, really, our own sound kind of just developed. I mean, we did an album which never got released. Then we did an EP, which you may or may not have heard on the website. And then after that, we did the new album, and it's still growing. I'm kind of interested…I've been writing a bunch more stuff, and it's kind of changed again now, which is pretty funny.
BE: What's it heading towards this time?
DH: I have no idea. Heading for oblivion.
BE: Oh, dear.
DH: But a good oblivion.
BE: Well, all right, then. So when did you kind of develop your own musical taste? I'm sure your father was probably filling you full of rockabilly from a relatively early age.
DH: Yeah, I mean, I've kind of listened to everything since the day I was born. But I did…I don't know, when I first started buying records…I'm trying to think. It was probably Jimi Hendrix and Cream that I really got into first. Actually, Buddy Holly was extremely big, high up on my list. And, you know, it sort of went from there, really.
BE: Who were your musical influences?
DH: I would have to say the most…probably Jimi Hendrix. Robert Johnson, Leadbelly. Then moving onwards…obviously, Zeppelin. I love Led Zeppelin. Then going later on, I was a massive fan of the Wu Tang Clan, and I love Prodigy. The Prodigy, from England, were really my favorite band; I saw them play a lot when I was young. Jilted Generation, when that album came out, that was, like, my favorite thing in the entire world. And then I saw them play at Britain Academy when I, was, like 13. You don't get gigs like that anymore.
BE: You mentioned Wu Tang. I know you were on "Heart Gently Weeps." How did you get hooked up with them? I mean, did you approach them?
DH: "Heart Gently Weeps" is just something I did to let them…just to see what would happen. There's actually a couple of other tracks that I played on as well. Actually, I'm on (RZA's) Digi Snacks as well. There was a track called "No Matter How Hard I Try," which was the single for the album. I played on that as well. I don't know, RZA and I got hooked up through a mutual friend, and we actually had more in common than our mutual friend. (Laughs) I mean, he's a very, very sweet guy and very, very well read. You know, he knows everything about…the missing bit of his education was kind of rock, and I'm kind of up on that. So he likes to hang out with people who can show him new music, you know what I mean?
BE: Yeah.
DH: So we made a couple of tracks together in my bedroom, just on a laptop. Then I came in with him and did a bunch of stuff. I've got a side project, whose name shall remain nameless because it would offend everyone. But that's what I was going for: to try and think of the most offensive name for a band that you could ever have. I think I did, but I'm not going to tell you, because then you'll put it in a magazine.
BE: Actually, I'd put it online, which is even worse.
DH: (Laughs) It would have to be censored, anyway. So he came and played on a bunch of my songs, along with Rev. Burke and Rugged Monk, who's a member of the West Coast Wu Tang. They're really, really nice guys. And when I did the Wu Tang stuff with them…I played with them in L.A. and New York, kind of all over the place. They're good guys.
BE: You're also on Rooney's album too, is that right?
DH: Um, I don't really remember.
BE: Fair enough. Well, you definitely turned up with Liam Lynch on his podcast.
DH: Oh yeah, yeah, Liam and I are great pals. Liam's a really good guy. He's probably one of my, you know, good friends in L.A. Complete lunatic.
BE: Yeah, to say the least.
DH: Mad as a nail, but so talented, you know.
BE: Oh, yeah, I've been a fan of his stuff…
DH: We did that song in about 20 minutes. It was one of those ones, you know? I never see him. I call him every single day, pretty much, and I haven't seen him for a year, and he lives in Encino and I live in Venice. It's pretty pathetic. We have a sort of virtual relationship, me and Liam. We usually talk between like 3:00 and 5:00 in the morning, when we're both completely obsessive-compulsing in our own studios and there is no one else to talk to. But I know that if I pick up the phone at half past three in the morning, Liam Lynch will answer. If I call him right now, he would never answer, but he will answer at 3:30 in the morning. The guy is a genius and an insomniac.
BE: How did you hook up with him?
DH: How did I hook up with him? I actually met him through …funny you should say that, I actually met him through Ringo. Because Ringo signed him to his label (Pumkinhead Records).
BE: Oh, yeah, I've got the album, actually.
DH: Yeah, yeah. So Ringo signed him to his label. I was actually at Ringo's birthday, funny enough, I went along to say "happy birthday" and I was in L.A. by myself, and I walked in and it was all family, family friends. I was looking for Ringo, I couldn't find him, and then I saw him. Suddenly, a young sort of mouthy, punk-rock-looking dude came walking, holding a present and looking just as confused as I did about five minutes before. I sort of pointed him in the right direction, and then five minutes later Ringo came over with him and said, "Liam and Dhani, you're best friends. You have never met before, but you're best friends." And he was right. Actually, Liam had been to Liverpool Institute as well.
BE: Oh, actually, I had forgotten that.
DH: Liam had actually studied under McCartney and then independently got signed by Ringo, and now he's mates with me. Liam thinks he has some weird Beatle karma. We always end up hanging out with people from the group.
BE: If he could just work with Sean Lennon, he would be set.
DH: Yeah, exactly.
BE: Obviously, I don't want to dwell on your father, but I was just kind of curious: how old were you when you began to realize who your dad was?
DH: How old were you when you realized that sandwiches tasted good? I don't know. It's one of those questions like…I don't know, really. I knew he was my dad, and that's usually enough for most kids. I think I do seem to remember a story about me coming home furious from school one day, saying, "Why didn't you tell me you were in the Beatles?" So embarrassing. How embarrassing was that? So maybe like about six or something, but I don't know. I started recording with him when I was around six, so I kind of got it, I guess, when I got in the studio. I never even got into the studio until then. As soon as he started letting me in the studio, I kind of worked it out.
BE: So you guys have a song on Rock Band 2.
DH: Actually, we have a couple of songs. We've got two on Rock Band, and then there's a free download with the DLC, which comes with Rock Band 2, "Crazy Tuesday."
BE: And I understand that you personally were very much in charge of kind of getting that ball rolling.
DH: Yeah, I mean, thenewno2 music, I kind of just prototyped that model. I basically did that for Apple, so that they could see it and say, "Oh, look, there's Dhani, he's a new media kind of person, and this is how he's selling his stuff. Maybe we should consider doing that with the Beatles, seeing as we don't have any digital deal or anything." So I have ad several meetings with Alex Rigopulos, who's a genius, who's the loveliest, loveliest guy; the CEO of Harmonix. We were sitting around one day, and he just said to me, "Do you think they would ever go for a Beatle game?" And I was thinking the same thing to talk to him about! "It would be amazing, wouldn't it?" I said to him. Actually, I think I said, "It would be amazing because I could kick your ass at 'I Am the Walrus' while dressed as a wizard in Shea Stadium." Do you know what I mean? Or I could put on the ice skating outfit from 'Help!' and then beat you at 'Tomorrow Never Knows' in the universe somewhere. I don't know. Just make up whatever you can; 'I Am the Walrus' at the Cavern Club, even. Wouldn't that be fun? And we both just started riffing on that kind of stuff until we both just were in hysterics, and it was obviously a brilliant idea, but I said, 'Well, that's never going to happen, is it?' And he said, 'No, it's never going to happen.' I said, 'But I should talk to the guys from Apple, anyway. Because it is actually a no-brainer. It is the biggest no-brainer that I've ever, ever thought about, and if Apple don't go for it, then they are shooting themselves in the foot, because someone else is going to do it. Someone else is going to get their own game. In the way the media works these days, in the way that music delivery systems work these days, I find it quite often best to be first. You know?
BE: Oh, definitely.
DH: If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or The Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple. I kind of almost bullied them into believing how amazing it was. They really didn't need much convincing if you looked to the fourth quarter, the month of December 2007, I think they sold something like 10,000,000 units of 'Guitar Hero 2′ in just one month, and they are $50.00 each. I said, 'If you do the math, if you go 50/50 with 'Rock Band' and you sell a Beatles 'Rock Band' game, that's a big deal' you know. And not to mention that, once the game is made, you can just keep adding songs to it. You could do the Bangladesh pack, you could do the 'Live and Let Die' pack, you could do the 'Imagine' pack…
BE: You've pretty much got me salivating at this point.
DH: I mean, don't get me started on Led Zeppelin. That's what I've been fighting for for months. I've been really trying to get them to do Zeppelin, because Zeppelin…and Radiohead, because Radiohead don't really like giving out their master stems, you know. I mean I don't blame them, but at the same time, they are Radiohead, and they should just get over it, you know what I mean? Just give us the stems, so we can all enjoy it.
BE: Yeah, I'm actually waiting on my copy of the reissues of the first three albums to get here right now.
DH: What, Radiohead?
BE: Yeah, EMI reissued them, re-mastered and with bonus tracks.
DH: No way. I'm going to go download that right now.
BE: I don't think they're in stores yet. My editor said his advance copies just got in, so I'm supposed to be getting my Pablo Honey any minute.
DH: Oh, bully for you. Nice one!
BE: I'm so proud.
DH: I'm very jealous now. Actually, you've made me jealous. I'll have to do a jealous interview now.
BE: Oh, dear. Suddenly, it's all gone horribly wrong.
DH: Suddenly, it's all gone terribly wrong now that I can't download Pablo Honey re-mastered. Nigel Godrich is doing some good stuff, I think, out here. I would love to get on his show. He's, like, my favorite producer, but I also think he's got a good idea, you know?
BE: I was a fan of his pretty much from when he did Jason Falkner's album.
DH: Jason Falkner. See, him I don't really know that well.
BE: Actually, he worked with Paul on Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard, I think it was. Which, come to think of it, was produced by Godrich.
DH: Oh, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BE: But Falkner used to be in Jellyfish, also.
DH: Jellyfish, that was the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot what I was going to say. Oh, right, Chaos and Creation and Godrich. I was about to say I'm the biggest fan of Godrich, but I never actually listened to Chaos and Creation.
BE: That's all right, I don't think Paul reads our site, anyway.
DH: But, you know, Godrich is pretty much…I don't think he's made a bad album, really, has he?
BE: No. Not to my knowledge.
DH: Nor to my knowledge. Did he do Odelay. He did everything ever Radiohead by Radiohead, but…no, he did Sea Change. Didn't he do Sea Change?
BE: I think he did.
DH: Odelay was the Dust Brothers, but he did Mutations and Sea Change. Either way, genius. True genius.
BE: I wanted to ask some more about the thenewno2. When I talked to Oli the other day, I asked him about his expectations for the first album, because of the market being what it is. Do you have specific hopes for how much it will sell?
DH: My hope is to release music and, God willing, you can actually affect someone with your music and maybe make them feel happy, or make them not kill themselves. I don't know, something positive. I mean, it would sort of be nice to sell a lot of records, but I don't really see that happening anytime soon.
BE: You were talking about being influenced by the Bristol sound. Would you say, even subconsciously, was there any attempt to avoid possibly sounding too much like your dad? Because on "Crazy Tuesday," it was, like, "Oh, my God, he sounds like his father," but otherwise there's not really any touchstones. Which is fine, obviously, but…
DH: Interesting. Well, you know, guitars made by the same people tend to sound the same. It's the pipes, I guess. And I've got the same sort of bummed-up nose that he used to have, so sometimes when I say "girls," it sounds a lot like "gulls." That's just by accident, I can assure you. It's not intentional.
BE: You worked behind the scenes but also in the studio on Brainwashed, insofar as completing the album. Was it tough to adapt your style to match your father's?
DH: No, no, no. We started that record together, and, you know, unfortunately, I finished it alone with Jeff (Lynne). That worked because Jeff sort of took over the production role, I took over the sort of artist role. So Jeff would try stuff, and he would give me a couple of options, then I would have to say yes or no. But Jeff didn't do a single thing on the record without asking me my opinion, because my dad and I are very, very close, and I could instantly tell what wouldn't make the cut, you know? So it was just…every day would get a bit emotional, you know. There was always just a point in every day when someone asked to leave the room, and we all kind of stared at our feet a bit, you know?
BE: Yeah, sure.
DH: Which is only normal.
BE: Absolutely.
DH: It's just very hard to have to complete a record when you've got someone's voice so close and intimate in your ear. And then, you need to know a lot of things about the song, and they're not there to ask. You know, it took a while.
BE: You teamed up with Jakob Dylan for a cover of "Gimme Some Truth".
DH: Yeah, I was hanging out a lot with Tony Berg, the producer who signed Beck. He use to do A&R, he produced Emiliana Torrini's records, a lot of her records. He produced a lot of Phantom Planet and stuff like that. His daughter is in that band The Like. So he's a producer and he's around in L.A. So I was hanging out over at his house a lot, just because it's a nice family environment, and, yeah, we were supposed to be recording my record, actually! Then "Gimme Some Truth" came along, and Jakob had done it, and I kind of had to sort of stop doing my record, because he did that. Then Tony was going to go on and do the record that Jakob ended up finishing with Rick Rubin, but I was there every day, so Tony said, "Why don't you get Dhani to do the harmony part?" And we just did it in five minutes. I mean, it was a very, very quick job, but it sounded alright. I liked the sound of that record, and I love Jakob. He's a really, really nice guy.
BE: I'll let you go after this, but just out of curiosity, how on earth did you end up at Brown University?
DH: How did I end up at Brown?
BE: Yeah.
DH: Well, I looked through some magazines, and then I saw one that I liked, and then… (Laughs) I don't know. I was actually very into crew, the rowing team, and I was actually quite good at it when I was younger. I was a cox, and I used to steer. A lot of amazing oarsmen from the clubs that I rowed at had gone to Brown and said how amazingly cool and fun it was, and they were all artists, too. So I was thinking, "Oh, that's good, maybe I could go and continue my rowing, do art," and I was thinking it would be all, like…you know, like, an American university, like cheerleaders and fun! (Laughs) It wasn't. It was just…Brown. I was thinking like Florida State or something, you know what I mean? But it was great fun, and I still have some of the most bestest friends from Brown. I love it. I haven't been back since I graduated, but… (Trails off)
BE: Okay. So are you guys going to be touring behind this album? I know you've done some live dates…
DH: We are. I can't actually say who we are going to be touring with right now, because I think I'm going to get in trouble if I do, because it's not 100% confirmed. But if it is confirmed, it's, like, a big one. It's really only a short tour, but we're going out with someone pretty big, so…I was quite impressed when I heard.
BE: So if it's a short tour, can I at least deduce that it's a stadium-sized tour?
DH: It will be, like, some 8,000 seat kind of arenas. Which will be great, because we're used to playing small places. I like playing bigger places, to be honest. It sounds better.
BE: Excellent. Well, I will let you go, but it's been great talking to you, man.
DH: Thanks, and keep an eye out, because there's new videos, there's new albums, there's new internet stuff coming out all this month. Coachella. We're doing a limited run of art work. It's, like, 300 limited pre-order vinyls for this thing, and we've got Futura, the artist, to do one painting over 300. So they are all going to be numbered and sold as Futura pieces, and we will have a big art exhibition. So keep a look out. There is going to be lots of cool stuff happening.
BE: Excellent. I will definitely add a link to the site.DH: Brilliant. Thanks very much. Take it easy!

State of Oregon via AP file
This undated image made available by the State of Oregon on March 18, 2010 shows Timur @!$%#s. In April 2010, a jury decided the Boy Scouts were negligent for allowing @!$%#s, a former assistant scoutmaster, to associate with Scouts after he admitted to a Scouts official in 1983 that he had molested 17 boys, according to court records.
As the Boy Scouts of America prepares for the court-ordered release of records detailing accusations of sex abuse by members and leaders, the organization acknowledged in an open letter this week that its response in some of the cases had been "plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong."
The letter comes after the Oregon Supreme Court ordered the Boy Scouts to release "ineligible volunteer" files from 1965 to 1985 that chronicle suspected or confirmed instances of child sex abuse. Media organizations had sued for the release of the files, part of a 2010 case in which a jury decided that the Scouts were negligent for allowing a former assistant scoutmaster to associate with the organization's youth after he admitted molesting 17 boys in 1983, court records show, according to The Associated Press.
Some 829 of the files from that time period (Jan. 1, 1965 to June 30, 1984) involve suspicions or confirmations of inappropriate sexual behavior with 1,622 youth, according to a report by Dr. Janet Warren, a professor of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences at the University of Virginia, for the Boy Scouts. The report, released Tuesday, was completed in 2011.
"Dr. Warren's report shows that, as part of our broader Youth Protection program, the BSA's system of ineligible volunteer files functions to help protect Scouts," Wayne Perry, national president, Tico Perez, national commissioner, and Wayne Brock, chief Scout executive, said Tuesday in an open letter to the Scouting community. "However, we also know that in some instances we failed to defend Scouts from those who would do them harm. There have been instances where people misused their positions in Scouting to abuse children, and in certain cases, our response to these incidents and our efforts to protect youth were plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong.

"For any episode of abuse, and in any instance where those involved in Scouting failed to protect, or worse, inflicted harm on children, we extend our deepest apologies and sympathies to victims and their families," according to the letter. "While we believe the files are an inconclusive record, the BSA will undertake a similar review and analysis of the IV (ineligible volunteer) files created from 1965 to present and ensure that all good-faith suspicion of abuse has been reported to law enforcement."
The developments were first reported by the Los Angeles Times, which noted that Warren's team was paid $75,000 to complete the study.
Warren's findings included:
-- The total number of alleged youth victims identified in the files was 1,622. Of these, 1,302 were involved in Scouting, for 112 it was unclear, and for 208, they were not involved in Scouting.
-- 486 of the men identified in the files as suspects were arrested at some time for a sex crime. It may have occurred before they got involved with Scouting, as a result of the incident noted in their file or after they left the organization.
-- In 531 of the cases, there was information indicating alleged inappropriate sexual behavior with multiple youths.
-- In 252 of the cases, the available information indicated alleged inappropriate sexual behavior with only a single victim.
-- 128 of the men in the files had their registration revoked within a year of signing up.
-- Police were involved in the investigation of 523 cases.
-- Six men placed on probation offended against a Scout during their probationary period, while two men were accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with a youth after their probationary period had ended.
-- After being denied registration by the BSA, 175 men were identified as having sought to re-register with the organization, in some cases under a different name at another location many years after their initial entry into the files. They were denied entry into the Boy Scouts.
"My review of these files indicates that the reported rate of sexual abuse in Scouting has been very low," Warren wrote in a summary of her report, in which she also said the "files broadly refute the notion that these were 'secret files' of hidden abuse."
"I believe that these files show that children in Scouting were safer and less likely to experience inappropriate sexual behavior in Scouting than in their own families, schools and during other community activities supervised by adults," she wrote.
But an attorney who has filed several suits for former Scouts said Warren's review didn't take into account abuse cases that weren't in the files.
"Personally I have represented more than a hundred men abused by Scout leaders whose names were never entered in the ... files -- even after BSA paid out substantial settlements on account of these abusers," Timothy Kosnoff, a Seattle attorney, told the Los Angeles Times. "The files are only the tip of the iceberg. Most perpetrators never get caught."
The Boy Scouts said they expect the files from the Oregon case to be released soon. They said that, beginning in 2010, the organization mandated that all suspicions of abuse be reported to law enforcement authorities and that they have always required members to follow local laws on reporting of abuse.

Sunburst ombre bubble statement necklace via ILY Couture | J Crew neon yellow shorts & silk blouse – similar here & here | Zara heels & handbag | ASOS claw cuff bracelet | Crystalized nail ring via Minusey
Feel like these neon yellow shorts from J Crew are going to be my unofficial uniform this Summer. I am not sure what I love more about them the color or the fit, but I must confess I've been wearing them everyday as of lately. I simply change my tops and heels and voila – a whole new outfit:)
Today was another one of those blazing hot days in LA and because I had a few errands to run, I threw on this breezy silk shirt to keep me nice and cool. Funny thing about this shirt is that I first saw it on J Crew website but was always too busy or lazy to go to the store to try it on. So, by the time I got there J Crew was completely sold out. After calling a few stores, I managed to find the very last one in size Large. Determined to have it anyway, I tried it on and I have to say that I rather prefer the loose fit. Guess the lesson is you never know unless you try:)
Keep on smiling,Love,Annabelle
