KolibriOS is very impressive stuff, and after finding a brief set of instructions for installing it to a hard drive, I had a "dual-boot" system of both Debian and Kolibri running on the old Thinkpad 560e that's still floating around the house.
It's not as hard as it might sound; the instructions I found here from a few years ago still work fine with Debian stable as a host system. I can't tell you why decided to use Debian, other than the fact that the CD was already in the drive.
And chances are I doubt it really matters which other Linux distribution you use as host, because the symbiont is tiny by comparison. If you give it a FAT32 partition of its own, you can save files to and fro and between the operating systems without having to rely on something like a floppy drive as an intermediary.
For my own purposes, this is what the partition array looked like on my test machine, with a slot specific to Kolibri.
/dev/hda1 64Mb /boot ext2
/dev/hda2 128Mb swap swap
/dev/hda3 1Gb /dos fat32
/dev/hda4 ~ / ext2
That last partition was whatever space happened to be lying around. It was more than enough to hold an entire Debian stable command-line installation, while the /dos partition was where all the Kolibri goodies sat — and a gigabyte was way too much space for that, too.
In any case, I had a place to read and write screenshots or text files or what have you, and move them between operating systems. Primitive, but on a machine with no CD, no floppy, no USB and network access only while in Debian, I am hoping you can forgive me.
Once Debian was installed, I got the machine online and added syslinux and p7zip-full. The former brings in the memdisk package, which will allow you to boot straightaway into Kolibri off the hard drive, and the latter makes unzipping the .7z format a little easier. If anyone on the Kolibri team is listening, it's probably not necessary to compress a 5Mb ISO down to 3.5Mb, but do as you will. …
Download the floppy image with wget, expand it to the /dos partition and keep an eye on where the kolibri.img file lands. Then edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to add something like this.
title KolibriOS
root (hd0,2)
kernel /memdisk
initrd /kolibri.img
As always, pay close attention to the root designation if you changed the array from what I had, and to the location of the .img file, relative to the top level of the partition. In other words, don't prefix the kernel or initrd lines with "/dos/", because it won't work.
After that it's simply a matter of rebooting. If everything is set correctly, Kolibri should running in only a few moments, far faster than by floppy. At 166Mhz and with a horrid 2Gb 4200rpm drive, it's up and running in less than 5 or 6 seconds.
The downside is that the video card in the 560e is officially certified VESA1.2 — no ifs, ands or buts. That explains why no Linux distro to date could push it beyond 640×480, and why even Kolibri can't push it past 640x480x16. And that depth is utterly unattractive, with color smears and ruined visual effects everywhere.
No matter. I have other uses for that machine, and not all of them require a decent visual interface. … 😈

OK well I just decided to share some of my thoughts about PWG show this past weekend. So let me just do it match by match.
1.Opening match: Pretty good match, no complaints there, this is how the openers should be.
2.Lucha Libre match: very short, some good spots but that match needed a lot more time that it was given.
3.Joey Ryan vs Shame Helms. This is probably one of the worst matches in PWG history and its not because of Joey Ryan but because of Shane stupid ass useless Helms. They were both healing it up too much, which was a mistake, two heals trying to draw heat from the crowd is never good. I actually felt bad for Joey, because he was building a pretty good momentum in the past few months, dropped the comedy gimmick, focused on technical wrestling more and his road to PWG title looked pretty good, that is till he wrestled Helms, now all this momentum that Joey built is kind of down the drain.
4. Low Ki vs Davey Richards. Great match, not a five star match as some fans were chanting but still an excellent match. I just wish they did more strong style.
5. Jake the Snake vs Sin Bodhi, I didn't really expect anything out of this match, so I was not disappointed. Sin Bodhi is insane so it was cool to watch I guess.
6. Legend's battle royal, again I didn't expect anything out of it, but actually it was better then I expected. Terry Funk and Roddy Piper interaction was pretty damn good. Gotta love Terry Funk, probably the toughest professional wrestler of all time, he has to be 70 years old by now and he still wrestles, nothing but respect for that man.
7. Chris Hero vs Kevin Steen, my favorite match of the night. Everything that I wanted to see; stiff and physical, awesome match.
8. Eight Man Tag; second favorite match of the night, just an amazing fast action that only PWG can deliver, loved that match. The Steenalizer on Johnny Yuma was freeking crazy.
9. El Generico vs Claudio Castagnolli, very good title match, nothing extraordinary, just your typical solid PWG match.
Well hope you enjoyed my review.

Google's new G1 phone announced today is the first real competitor to the iPhone. Like Apple's product, it's a serious handheld computer with a powerful new operating system (called Android) and a clever touch-based user interface. Like the iPhone, it's likely to be a major new platform for third-party software. But it's also very different, and may appeal to different buyers.
The phone, expected to be the first of many to use the Android operating system, was largely designed by Google, and was built by HTC of Taiwan. It will be sold in the U.S. starting next month by T-Mobile, for $179 with a two-year contract.
Here are some first impressions of the G1, based on some experience with a prototype. This isn't a full review; that will come later, when I've had a chance to use a more finished device.
Most importantly, the G1 complements its touch screen with a physical keyboard, the lack of which has made the iPhone a non-starter for some users. The G1's keyboard is revealed when you slide open its screen. The keys are a bit flat, and you have to reach your right thumb around a bulging portion of the phone's body to type, but it's a real keyboard. And there's also a BlackBerry-like trackball that supplements the touch screen navigation. I found typing on this keyboard to be OK, but not great.
A second big feature, or limitation, of the G1 — depending on your point of view — is that it is tightly tied to Google's web-based email, contacts and calendar programs. In fact, you must have a Google (GOOG) account to use the phone, and can only synchronize the phone's calendar and address book with Google online services. Unlike the iPhone, it doesn't work with Microsoft Exchange, and it can't physically be synced with a PC-based calendar or contacts program, like Microsoft Outlook.
So, if your world already revolves around Google services, you may find that the G1 fits like a glove. If not, you may be disappointed.
Also, like the iPhone, the G1 has a download service for third-party programs, called Market. I downloaded a couple of simple Market programs and they worked fine.
The G1 won't win any beauty contests with its Apple (AAPL) rival. It's stubby and chunky, nearly 30% thicker and almost 20% heavier than the iPhone. It's a bit narrower — more like a standard phone than a "smart phone" — and longer, but has a somewhat smaller screen.
Still, it feels pretty good in the hand when closed, although I found it more awkward when opened.
But the software is slick. Programs appear in a virtual drawer you slide open via a tab at the bottom of the screen, and notifications of new messages and the like can be read by sliding the top bar of the screen down. The screen and software were quick and responsive.
The web browser is based on the same open-source technology as the iPhone's, but works differently. You can view a portion of a page, and use a zoom control and finger-dragging to see the rest, or you can view the whole page in miniature, as on the iPhone. In the latter mode, however, you can't simply use Apple's technique of tapping or "pinching" to zoom in on a portion of a page. You must move around a virtual lens to pick out a part of the page on which to focus.
There are two email programs: one for Google's Gmail, another for all other email services. There's an instant messaging program, that works with multiple services — not just Google's. And, as on the iPhone, there are programs for using Google Maps and Google's YouTube video service. The G1's Google Maps program has a feature lacking in the iPhone version: photographic street views of some locations.
The G1 has a couple of other things the iPhone omits: copy and paste functionality and a so-called MMS program, which sends photos to other phones without using email. Its camera is higher-resolution than the iPhone's, but, like Apple's, doesn't record video.
It also gives you far more flexibility in organizing your desktop, or home screen, than the iPhone, or almost any phone I've seen. In addition to placing icons for programs there, you can place everything from individual contacts, music playlists, folders, web pages, and more.
The G1's multimedia capabilities are less polished and complete than the iPhone's. There's a very basic music player, and a built-in version of Amazon's MP3 download service that works fine. But the G1 lacks a built-in video player — you have to download one from the third-party software store. Also, you cannot use standard stereo headphones with the G1. You need special ones, or an adapter.
And it lacks the iPhone's ability to change the orientation of a web page or photo by just turning the phone. You also can't move through groups of photos by just "flicking," as on the iPhone.
The G1 also has much less memory than the iPhone. The base $199 iPhone comes with 8 gigabytes sealed in, but the G1 comes with just a 1 gigabyte memory card. Its maximum memory, if you buy a bigger card, is 8 gigabytes, while the iPhone can be purchased (for $299) with twice that.
T-Mobile is claiming similar talk time to that of the iPhone, but, unlike Apple's product, the G1 has a removable battery.
Finally, a word about networks. In the U.S., the G1 will initially only be available on T-Mobile, whose high-speed 3G network will be up and running in many fewer cities than those of its larger rivals, AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). Like the iPhone, the G1 does have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.
In sum, the G1 is a powerful, versatile device which will offer users a real alternative in the new handheld computing category the iPhone has occupied alone.

This incredible animated gif doing the rounds this week (though first published in February) is taken from Paragon Sexa Doll (パラゴンセクサドール Doll), a Japanese "visual novel" developed by Heart Soft and released in the early 80s on the NEC PC-8801, a primitive PC that was pretty big in Japan.
Visual novels are barely games; like the name suggests, they're more of a story that you click your way through, the only real involvement you have being to pick dialogue options. An example of the genre - one wildly popular in Japan - is Katawa Shoujo, released earlier this year.

Messenger Bags
Custom Personalized Messenger Bags
Having custom messenger bags made with your company logo is a good way to spread the word about what your company can provide because the advertisement will move. As the person travels from one place to the next, they will bring the bag with them. This is how promotional messenger bags can be so much more effective than other types of stationary advertising. Instead of hoping that people come to the advertisement, you will be bringing it to them. Even if you are not using these to advertise but just to promote company loyalty, they can be very effective.
One thing that you should consider when you are designing your promotional messenger bags is how much information you want to include. You might be best to go with simply the company logo so that it looks clean and attractive. You might be able to fit in a little bit of contact information, such as your web address, if you want the bag to help drive people to your site. It is important not too put too much information, however, as this will both make the bag look unattractive and keep people from wanting to read everything.
Another thing that needs to be considered when you are looking at custom messenger bags is the placement. Remember that the strap will often be covered by the person's hair; it could also be twisted so that half of it is hidden. In the same way, half of the bag will be pressed against the person's side. Print the logo where it can be seen.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Exterminator Forced Pregnant Technician to Take Medical Leave, Then Fired Her, Federal Agency Charged
MEMPHIS – Major exterminator Terminix International will pay $80,000 to settle a sex discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged that Terminix unlawfully fired an employee at its McGehee, Ark., location because of her pregnancy.
The EEOC's suit against Terminix International and its parent company, ServiceMaster Company, both based in Memphis, alleged that a manager forced a pregnant pest technician to take medical leave and then fired her because of her pregnancy. According to EEOC, the female technician informed her employer of a restriction against handling pesticides. The company honored her restriction for approximately six weeks, and then terminated her employment, claiming it did not have enough work for her to perform with this restriction. After discharging the technician, Terminix then hired two male employees to perform reinspections that the female technician could have performed, the EEOC said.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate based on pregnancy when making employment decisions. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 5:09-cv-0233 JMM) in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement out of court through its conciliation process.
In addition to the award of monetary damages, the two-year consent decree signed by U.S. District Judge James Moody also enjoins Terminix from unlawfully forcing pregnant employees on medical leave and terminating a pregnant employee on maternity leave based on sex. The decree also requires Terminix to redistribute its discrimination policies, to require employees to sign copies of the policies and to make periodic compliance reports to the EEOC.
"Pregnancy discrimination charges have nearly doubled since 1992," said Faye Williams, regional attorney for the EEOC's Memphis District Office. "Many employers operate on the mistaken belief that they may treat pregnant employees differently by forcing them to take medical leave and then terminating them. This settlement should place employers on notice that pregnant employees may not be singled out for termination or forced medical leave."
According to company information, Terminix International has a worldwide network of locations, including 864 service centers throughout the United States and in 14 countries around the world.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The European Commission aims to ensure coherence between industrial, environmental, climate and energy policy to create an optimal business environment for sustainable growth, job creation and innovation. To support this, the Commission has established an ambitious agenda to transform EU economy into a circular one, where the value of products and materials is maintained for as long as possible, bringing major economic benefits. The Commission also supports European industry in the move to a climate-neutral economy and improves the energy efficiency of products through Ecodesign legislation.
The Commission is undertaking a range of actions to support the move to a more circular economy. These cover the cycle from production and consumption, to waste management and the market for secondary raw materials. In a circular economy the value of products and materials is maintained for as long as possible and waste and resource use are minimised. This can contribute to innovation, growth and job creation.
Boosting business and industry through a circular economy
European industry is transitioning to a climate-neutral economy, marking a change for the energy, manufacturing, transport and construction sectors.
Towards a climate-neutral economy
Sustainable industry low carbon (SILC) initiative
Legislation on ecodesign and energy labelling is an effective tool for improving the energy efficiency of products. It helps eliminate the least performing products from the market, significantly contributing to the EU's 2020 energy efficiency objective. Energy savings related to ecodesign and energy labelling regulations are estimated to be in the region of 800 Terra-watt hour (TWh) per year by 2020. Ecodesign also supports industrial competitiveness and innovation by promoting the better environmental performance of products throughout the internal market.
Ecodesign and energy labelling
The European Commission undertakes studies to support evidence-based policy making in this area and holds events to gather stakeholders and disseminate information.
In order to maintain the international competitiveness of European industries while safeguarding strict environmental standards, it is important to work towards a more level playing field through international policy dialogues. These dialogues aim to share European sustainable and low carbon solutions with other countries and provide an opportunity to promote European technologies in important export markets. The Commission is an active member of the G7 Alliance for Resource Efficiency.

The Week in Review:
Best Nail-Biting Victory: As Sharrod Ford's buzzer-beating three-pointer soared through the incredibly tense U-Hall atmosphere, the hearts of most Wahoo faithful rode with it in anticipation of disaster. The shot fell just short, sealing the UVA men's basketball team's (10-6, 1-5) crucial 81-79 triumph against the Clemson Tigers (10-8, 1-5) Saturday, January 22, and their first conference victory. After an 82-68 setback on the road to the Maryland Terrapins on Wednesday, January 19, UVA was in desperate need of an inspiration to staunch the bleeding from an 0-5 start in conference play. The Cavs led most of the game, but struggled to put the Tigers away down the stretch. The messiness of the victory made no difference to coach Pete Gillen, however, as he continues to hope amid all the recent adversity. "You can't win a couple of games in a row until you win one in a row," Gillen told The Daily Progress.
Most Magical Wizards: The Wizards could easily have folded after losing two straight games after second-leading scorer Larry Hughes was sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a broken thumb. Instead, Washington's magical season continued with a win at home over the Toronto Raptors Friday, January 21, and two hard-fought victories on the road as Antwan Jamison's buzzer-beating bank shot lifted the Wiz to a thrilling 95-93 win against the Indiana Pacers Saturday night and the team rallied from a 17-point deficit to knock off the central division-leading Cleveland Cavaliers (24-17), 106-97.
"We play with our backs to the wall. That's how we play," Gilbert Arenas told the AP after the Indiana victory. "When we have a lead, it's tough. When we play from behind, we're a much better team."
Brightest Shining Knights: Both the Charlottesville High boys' and girls' basketball teams overpowered their Jefferson district opponents to roll through a perfect week. The Lady Knights (12-1, 6-0) continued to dismantle everyone in their path as they look to run away with the regular season district championship. CHS controlled Western Albemarle en route to a 70-45 home victory Tuesday, January 18. The Lady Knights then took their impressive show on the road and continued their dominance with a 82-55 romp over the Lions of Louisa County, Friday, January 21. On the boys' side, CHS (9-6, 6-1) traveled to Crozet Tuesday to shut down the undefeated district-leading WAHS Warriors (10-6, 5-1) 49-34. Their momentum carried over in front of the home crowd as the Knights dispatched Louisa for their fourth consecutive victory.
Most Business-like Cavaliers: The Lady Wahoos suffered a heartbreaking 63-60 defeat on the road to the 18th-ranked Maryland Terrapins (12-) Thursday, January 20. Debbie Ryan's club quickly rebounded, however, to take care of business at home Sunday, January 23, with an 83-70 win over Dartmouth (5-8). The Ivy League ladies challenged UVA (14-5, 3-2) throughout much of the first half, but the Cavs weathered the Big Green's storm with a strong second-half run to seal the non-conference victory. "I think we came back from the Maryland game knowing we had things to work on," coach Ryan told The Daily Progress. "They practiced extremely well [on Saturday]."
The Week Ahead:

If you had told him back then that all this life experience would one day make people laugh, he wouldn't have believed it. From being raised in the projects in a family of 9 living in the most gang-infested neighborhood in the country to winning NBC's "Last Comic Standing", to selling out live comedy shows all over the country and being able to act in TV shows and movies, Felipe's life has been anything but boring. He worked for years as a stand-up comedian, opening on the road for fellow comedians such as Gabriel Iglesias and Paul Rodriguez, then took a leap of faith and went out on his own - which led to very little income and opportunity at first.
After the 16-year "overnight success" of winning Last Comic Standing, Felipe went on to produce his first hour long stand-up comedy special, "They're Not Gonna Laugh at You" (now on Netflix). He has also made several TV appearances such as recurring roles on "The Eric Andre Show" and NBC's "Superstore", TruTV's "World's Dumbest" and "Russell Simmons Presents Stand-Up at the El Rey" and was the spokesman for a national Honda campaign and a national Target Mobile campaign. During his early years as a comedian, Felipe was part of the successful stand-up comedy TV show, "Que Locos" on Galavisión (the only English-speaking show on Spanish television). That show and the resulting tour helped launch the careers of several other Latino comedians such as George Lopez, Gabriel Iglesias and Willie Barcena.
Today, in addition to his live stand-up touring, Felipe hosts a weekly podcast on the All Things Comedy Network called "What's Up Fool?" that focuses on interesting stories from just about anybody. From renowned author and humanitarian Father Greg Boyle from Homeboy Industries, to actor Damian Chapa (Miklo from Blood In, Blood Out), to the lead detective on the Night Stalker serial killer case, to actor Emilio Rivera (from Sons of Anarchy) to even the "Incredible Hulk" who takes photos with tourists on Hollywood Blvd., Felipe believes everyone has a story to tell about how they got where they are, no matter who they are.
Recently, Felipe produced his second hour-long stand-up special with his wife Lesa, entitled "Translate This", premiering on HBO September 30, 2017. He is also developing a sitcom with fellow comedian Dustin Ybarra and writers Bobby Bowman and Peter Murrietta - Felipe and Dustin will play brothers in a single-camera comedy to be produced by 3Arts Entertainment. He also continues to do live stand-up shows in comedy clubs and theaters around the country.

Facebook's Zynga Plugs Could Sprout Into New Ad Network
Jun 25, 2012 11:04 AM PT
Facebook recently started running ads on Zynga's website, one of several moves the social network has made recently to expand its advertising reach.
Some Zynga users now see Facebook's Sponsored Stories ads, which display certain brands or businesses that those users' Facebook friends have "liked." Users log into Zynga with their Facebook accounts, so the ads can be targeted based on the likes of their Facebook profiles and the information they share on the site.
The ads on Zynga mark the first time Facebook is distributing ads outside of its own website, although it's not the first sign of partnership between the two companies. Some of Zynga's most popular games are ones played on Facebook, such as "FarmVille." In the gaming site's IPO documents from about a year ago, the company mentioned that Facebook was critical to its success and that it might show Facebook ads on its site as part of a revenue-sharing deal.
Expanding Reach
A deal with Zynga to expand Facebook's online advertising presence could be a serious revenue driver for the social network, B. Thomas Varghese, CEO and founder of eBizUniverse, told the E-Commerce Times.
"The potential is huge here," he said. "It's similar to what Google has successfully used for years with their Adsense ad platform. In Adsense, Google pays a cut to anyone who's willing to open up their website for Google Ads, and this has been a great success. Pretty much the entire Web is now dominated with the ads from Adsense."
If Facebook could do something similar, said Varghese, the possibilities are endless, since the social network already has users with login credentials. If a website let a user log in with their Facebook information, advertisers could then serve highly targeted ads to those users.
"While the terms of the deal with Zynga aren't available, it's a given that there is some sort of revenue sharing involved," said Varghese. "If Facebook is able to execute this with other vendors, it opens up an unlimited amount of websites that Facebook could use to display their ads."
Pleasing Investors
The new policy with Zynga is probably part of a larger strategy on Facebook's part to appease investors, Nipa Shah, president of Krave Ten, told the E-Commerce Times.
The company went public in a high-profile IPO in May. Throughout the process, investors questioned whether Facebook could attract new users and build new revenue sources. The stock is currently trading higher than it did in the first weeks following its public debut, although investor pressure remains.
"This may be the first of many strategies that Facebook is perhaps planning to unveil to make its investors happy," she said.
A partnership with Zynga is a sign that Facebook is ready to make some significant changes to the way it does business, said Varghese, and that it has the potential to benefit from those moves.
"This is a bold move from Facebook to demonstrate to investors that they're stepping this game up," he said. "I think this is definitely on the path to success."
Neither Facebook nor Zynga responded to our requests for comment.

Following rumors over the weekend, Global Payments—a massive international credit-card processor—has confirmed that it suffered a massive security breach. Hackers managed to acquire customer information from up to 1.5 million accounts across North America. As far as we know, every major credit card provider is affected.
If you're shrugging this off because you've never even heard of Global Payments, you shouldn't. While you may not come into contact with the company directly, it provides processing services for nearly every major credit card company. Last year alone, that meant $120.6 billion in transactions through just Visa and MasterCard.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the news came to light when Visa withdrew from using the company's services as a result of the problem. Though card and account information was exported from the the servers of Global Payments, it's currently thought that the criminals didn't obtain card-holder names, addresses or Social Security numbers.
A spokesperson from Global Payments told the Wall Street Journal that "[b]ased on the forensic analysis to date, network monitoring and additional security measures, the company believes that this incident is contained." Believing something is contained and confirming that it's over are, though, two very different things. Global Payments also said that the information that was stolen would be enough to make online purchases, or to clone cards for brick and mortar fraud.
In this case, it seems those most at risk of having had their information compromised are people who payed for an NYC cab ride over the last several months. The only detail Global Payments confirmed was the extent of the damage, though, not the origination. Or, more importantly, how to find out if you're affected.
The move by Visa to stop using the services of Global Payments is a big one: it's a rare occurrence in the industry, so signals a complete lack of trust. It's not yet clear whether others will follow suit. As of Friday, banks were taking extra care to monitor accounts for suspicious activity. [Wall Street Journal]

Lindsay Lohan is a free woman -- for now.
One day after Lohan was released from the Betty Ford clinic, cops in Palm Desert, Calif. said the troubled movie star committed battery against an ex-employee of the rehab center in a Dec. 12 incident.
They forwarded the findings of their investigation to the district attorney and Lohan could face jail time once again if prosecutors charge her and she's found guilty, People reported.
"The investigation determined Ms. Lohan violated several aspects of her probation, including the battery [charge]" the Palm Desert Police department said in a press release on Tuesday.
If the 24-year-old actress is found to have assaulted Dawn Holland after allegedly drinking past curfew, she could reportedly face up to six months in jail. The Beverly Hills judge in her long-running DUI case warned her last August that she would go to jail if she violated probation, which could include even a minor offense.
Lohan's lawyer slammed Palm Desert police Tuesday, hours after the press release.
U.S. & World
"The important, yet limited, investigatory role of the police to gather facts and collect evidence is well-established," Shawn Chapman Holley told People. "The fact that the Palm Desert Police Department went outside this limited role to issue a press statement expressing its opinion about what should happen in Ms. Lohan's case is highly unusual and deeply troubling."
Holland accused Lohan of throwing her phone at her, yanking another phone from her and spraining her hand at the Palm Springs rehab center. The rehab worker was sacked for tattling on the scuffle and then reportedly selling the story for $10,000 to online tabloids. But People magazine reported that Holland later took back her claims, explaining she, also a former addict, didn't want LiLo to be prosecuted.
"Regardless of whether the victim is cooperating, we believe there is a case here to press charges… and the investigation determined Ms. Lohan violated several aspects of her probation," Riverside County Sgt David Florez told the LA Times. "Obviously, the battery is one violation. We aren't going to discuss the other violations at this point."
The Times, citing law enforcement sources, reported that Lohan's failure to take an alcohol breathalyzer test at the clinic also might be a probation violation.
No arrest was made because the incident didn't occur in front of an officer, People reported. But police still continued their investigation and decided to pass it along to the D.A. after their findings.
The scandal-ridden "Mean Girls" star was sent to the Rancho Mirage facility in September for violating probation stemming from a 2007 DUI. She is next set to appear in court on Feb. 25 for a progress hearing.

(Reuters) - Wynn Resorts Ltd said on Thursday it filed an application with New Jersey gaming regulators for an Internet gambling license.
Wynn's application follows dozens of companies that have submitted applications with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement for Internet gambling licenses ahead of a targeted launch date in late November.
Wynn Resorts operates casinos in Las Vegas and China's Macau, but has no casino operations in Atlantic City.
Licensing to offer Internet gaming will be limited to New Jersey's 12 land-based casinos, which are partnering with online gaming companies.
In early July, all 12 Atlantic City casinos took the first step to secure Internet gaming permits by notifying New Jersey regulators of plans to partner with Internet gaming providers, according to the gaming division.
New Jersey in February became the third state after Nevada and Delaware to legalize online gambling. Big casinos see New Jersey as the most lucrative opportunity based on its size and the fact its law encompasses many forms of gambling beyond, for example, Nevada's online poker-only bill.
Analysts project Nevada's online gambling market will yield $50 million to $250 million in annual revenue, while New Jersey is pegged to generate $500 million to $1 billion yearly.

SKV files or semicolon separated value which are similar to CSV files (comma separated values), both of these files can easily be opened and viewed using a text editor.
However when you view it using a text editor you will see the raw data instead of columned data, which you can view by opening the file in Microsoft Excel, however if you do not have a Microsoft excel installed you can still open and view the file with a small portable software utility called ViewSKV.
Once you download the utility extract it to any folder and use it to open the SKV file, the best part about this software is that it will allow you view the data in column format, something which you cannot do in a plain text editor.

Kaufmann wins award from Czech academy
Princeton's Thomas DeCosta Kaufmann has been awarded the F. Palacky
Honorary Medal for Merit in Social Sciences by the Academy of Sciences
of the Czech Republic.
In awarding the medal, the academy cited Kaufmann's research, which it said had gained worldwide recognition, and also expressed appreciation for his long-term cooperation with Czech scientists. Kaufmann has worked on behalf of the American Council of Learned Societies and the International Research and Exchange Board to establish a collaborative agreement with the Czech academy and arrange a number of international colloquia.
Kaufmann has been a professor of art and archaeology at Princeton since 1977. His many works on the art and architecture of central Europe have often touched on Czech cultural achievement, notably "The School of Prague: Painting at the Court of Rudolf II," which won the Mitchell Prize for the best book on art history published in the English language. Among his many honors, Kaufman has memberships in the Swedish, Polish and Belgian academies of sciences.

Join me for 30 minutes of guided, relaxing meditation.
Journey with me and...Be Within
Before you start, find a place that is still, quiet, calm. Light a candle (incense is an optional extra) and prepare it with no interruptions i.e. Turn the phone off and tell people not to bother you. Go to the loo. Have water nearby.
There is background noise due to this being a live recording so why not add your own music on top of the talking to heighten the enjoyment. So relax - set an intent for the meditation, peace, harmony, letting go of stress ect.
It is not recommended that you listen to a meditation when you are operating machinery or driving a vehicle.
Above all, enjoy and be the best you can be now.
Love Philippa x
When you are ready...
(This was recorded at one of my regular Meditation Classes.)

Gay couples march for rights on Valentine's Day
With tears slowly streaming down her face, Janine Wilson left the Harris County Clerk's Office hand in hand with the person she loves.
This wasn't a terribly surprising scene, considering some couples leaving the downtown building are emotional after getting their marriage license. And after all, Thursday was Valentine's Day.
But for Wilson, these were not tears of happiness.
She and Luciana Broussard were denied a marriage license Thursday because, like the clerk told them, Texas does not acknowledge same-sex marriages.
"I wasn't expecting that intense emotion," Wilson said. "To hear somebody deny something like that, while people were coming in dressed in white and freely getting their marriage licenses on Valentine's Day. I was just overwhelmed in sadness."
The couple, who have been together for three years, joined other same-sex couples in a demonstration organized by the Foundation for Family and Marriage Equality, a Houston organization that seeks rights and benefits denied to same-sex couples and their families.
After more than a dozen participants were denied marriage licenses, they chanted and marched to City Hall.
They carried signs with messages such as: "Houston we have a problem. Gay couples can't marry" and "Gay rights are not special rights."
Mayor Annise Parker and the city of Houston declared Valentine's Day 2013 Freedom to Marry Day in honor of the committed couples.
More Information
State Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth, introduced a bill Thursday that would permit same-gender couples in Texas the freedom to marry. He said he filed the measure as a Valentine's Day gift to all Texans.
Pursuit of happiness
"I have been married for 33 years, and it has been the greatest and most rewarding experience of my life," said Burnam in a news release. "It is past time for our state to get right on this issue and fulfill the promise of individual freedom that is supposed to be the birthright of every Texan."
Pursuing same-sex marriage is difficult in a state as conservative as Texas. Gov. Rick Perry has signed a pledge to support an amendment to the Constitution that would outlaw gay marriage.
Currently, nine states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex couples to legally wed.
"For most of us, we just wanna fall in love and get married in front of our family and friends," said Barry Ouellette, president of the Foundation for Family and Marriage Equality. "Like Hillary Clinton said, 'These are not gay rights, they are human rights.' You know, love is a human right."
Poll finds support
The majority of Americans now support same-sex marriages, reported a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll. More than 65 percent of people 18 to 29 support it.
"I'm not somebody that believes they have to share my beliefs or convictions at all," said the Rev. Kristen Klein-Cechettini of the Resurrection Metropolitan Community Church.
"It's more that I want us all to have the right to have our own convictions and then not impose them on each other legally, that's all."

Website lets new Md. businesses register faster
Easy.Maryland.gov to streamline process for startups
Gov, Martin O'Malley announced the state's first online business registration system that will get people up and running faster.
Startup owners and officials joined the governor Monday for the launch of the Central Business Licensing System at Beta-More, a new campus for technology startups located in Baltimore City.
Business owners will be able to access the system 24-7, reducing the time it takes to register a new business from an average of 10 weeks to five to seven days. They'll also be able to establish a tax account through one single website, easy.Maryland.gov.
"Progress is a choice. Job creation is a choice. Creating a smarter and more responsive state government in all its activities -- these, too, are choices -- as well as improving the conditions that allow you to more rapidly grow and expand the opportunities you create through your innovations and new businesses. That's really what it's all about," the governor said.
Every year, about 47,000 new businesses are registered in Maryland, according to the O'Malley administration.
"The Central Business Licensing System is another great example of how state government can be business-friendly and cost-efficient through smart use of information technology and web services," said Department of Information Technology Secretary and Chief Information Officer Elliot Schlanger. "We look forward to introducing new features to the CBL system in the coming months."
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce named Maryland No. 1 in innovation and entrepreneurship.

- GURLS, a YA novel
- THE WET LANDS, BOOK 2 of the HUTCH and A'RIS SERIES
Just wanted to say, I've read your three books over the past three days! They were awesome! Can't wait for book four and see what happens next. And I'm really hoping Riley keeps going, finally a female character that I actually like, and whose not portrayed poorly! Thanks for writing them, and I really hope book 4 isn't too long a wait ☺
Is the excerpt at the end of book 3 of the Find Me Series actually what you plan for the 4th book? Please say it isn't! I would be sorely disappointed if Connor dies, most of the others get sick from a second round of the plague, and Riley is possibly carrying a dead baby. When I read it all it did was make me mad! I would rather make up my own story. My gosh, isn't it time for something good to happen? Some actual happiness? If that excerpt is what is actually going to happen, I don't think I will read it.
I just finished all 3 books in "The Find Me " series this weekend. I couldn't put them down. I will be keeping a look out for the 4th. I can't wait, please hurry.

I've been trying to diagnose a rough/high idle ever since I bought my car in October. I took it to Fremont Foreign Auto and Edwardo fixed a vacuum leak, adjusted the screws on the throttle, and adjusted the fuel mixture. It smells like it runs a little better and the idle problems seemed better, but not great (hovering in the 900 to 1100 range). Tonight, the car has been wildly fluctuating between 900 and 2000. I cleaned out the idle motor with brake cleaner and I looked inside while my girlfriend turned the car on and saw the valve close to 90%, which I think is correct. I just wonder if there's something else up with it.
So, since these take just a couple minutes to pull off, I wondered if someone is nearby and could get together for an hour on the weekend so I can try your idle speed motor. I'm in San Leandro.

Can I pick up my child early a few days a week?
Georgia's Pre-K Program operates just like a school classroom. Parents commit to sending their child to school for the complete 6.5 hours day 180 days per year. Children can be disenrolled for being chronically tardy in the morning or being picked up prior to the end of the instructional day.
Can I bring lunch for my child?
Georgia's Pre-K requires centers and schools provide a complete nutritional meal for children. Local schools/sites may set policies regarding bringing food to school. If your child has identified special food requirements, contact your Pre-K provider for individual guidance.

Chronic tardiness is defined as late arrival or early departure more than once per week.
How do I know who offers Pre-K in my area?
You may search for Pre-K locations by clicking

Field trips are recommended but not a required part of Georgia's Pre-K. Schools/centers are encouraged to offer special educational experiences, which may include, but are not limited to field trips.
What do I need to know to enroll a child in Georgia's Pre-K Program?
To learn how to enroll a child in Georgia's Pre-K program can be obtained from the article "Enrolling in Pre-K".
The Pre-K class I wanted is full. What do I do now?

You may also search for additional pre-k sites in your area by using the online
Provider Search

How can I start saving for college for my child?

With a Path2College 529 Plan account, any earnings in your account are free from federal income taxes when used for qualified higher education expenses. Then, when it's time for college, the money you withdraw for qualified higher education expenses is also tax-free.

Once registration is complete you will receive a confirmation that will list training details.
How do I get directions to the training venue?
The confirmation page will provide you with the venue address. Go to mapquest.com to get driving directions to the venue from your home or visit the venue's website for general directions.
Are food or beverages provided at trainings?
No, however many training venues have food and/or beverage items available for purchase.
Will I have to pay for parking?
Many venues charge for parking so be sure to plan ahead.
If I register for training and do not attend, will I be charged?
Yes, if you do not cancel your registration in writing (fax or e-mail) at least one business day prior to the start of the training, $50 will be deducted from your center's next Pre-K payment.
Will my center be charged if I miss one or more days of my scheduled training?
Yes, you must complete your training to avoid a $50.00 deduction from your center's next Pre-K payment. You will not be issued a certificate of completion if you do not attend all training days.
Who owns the books and materials distributed at training? Are they the property of the participant or the Pre-K program?
All materials and books distributed to participants in training are the property of the center, NOT the participant. In other words, if an employee ceases to work at a particular Pre-K program, all books and materials that the employee received in training belong to the center.
How much does training cost me/the center?
Lottery funds cover the cost of training. Expenses such as mileage, meals, and lodging (if needed) should be covered according to the center/school travel policy. The intent of the Bright from the Start is that a participant should not incur any costs to attend training.

On April 24-25, the Chairman of China Resources Group, Dr. Fu Yuning attended the Belt and Road CEO Conference upon invitation in Beijing. The large-scale and high-profile Conference was held for the first time by the Belt and Road Forum for international cooperation, attracting nearly 900 representatives from countries around the world.
During the Conference, Chairman Fu was invited to hold talks with Yasir Othman Al-Rumayyan, who is Managing Director of the Saudi Arabian Sovereign Fund, PIF. Founded in 1971, PIF is currently chaired by Saudi Crown Prince, with several Saudi Arabian ministers serving as board directors. With an asset management target of $400 billion by 2020, PIF is planning to open an Asian office, focusing on emerging markets represented by China and gradually increasing its investment in Asia. PIF is willing to join hands with China Resources Group to bring overseas smart capital into China and work along with Chinese industries to go global and find overseas investment opportunities with common interest.
Prior to the meeting, Chairman Fu toured the corporate laboratories, shared office area and supporting service facilities in China Resources Life Science Park during a visit. He also held talks with the management team of the Park and listened carefully to a report on improving development strategies and planning for differentiated industry development as well as working plans for the next phase.
While giving credit to efforts of China Resources Life Science in the previous phase, Chairman Fu also emphasized that the Company should fully exploit the science and technology innovation resources of the capital and firmly promote innovation-driven development. Efforts should be made to accelerate construction of the Park and create an ecological circle for technological innovation, he said. It is necessary to take steps to develop an innovation incubation system with both characteristics of the capital and a global vision by planning from a high starting point and implementation of high standards. Only by doing so can breakthroughs be made in three major fields - precision medicine, biotechnology, and digital medicine and related segments, Fu added.

You can make a difference!
An important element of language advocacy is public policy. By staying up to date on current issues in legislation, you can begin to build a network for action. Some ways you can affect policy include writing letters to your local officials and congressman, visiting policymakers, and building coalitions of concerned people like you who care about language.
The United States is a multilingual country:
Ethnologue estimates that the United States is home to speakers of 245 different languages. While the United States does not have an official language, English is considered the de facto language for public purposes. However some states, including Louisiana and New Mexico, have declared languages other than English an official language.
The Modern Language Association (MLA) has created a map of the major languages used in the United States based on the data from the 2000 Census. You can find it here.
US English has compiled data on the diversity of language use in the United States. You can find it here.
"I would like to write to my local official. What should I include in the letter?"
Writing to your school officials, business representatives, local and state representatives and senators does not have to be a daunting task. The idea is to be clear and concise. It can easily be broken down into a few sections:
a) Introduce yourself. Write a few sentences stating who you are, why you are writing, and any credentials you might have.
b) Explain the issue. If you are writing about a specific bill, be sure to refer to it by number and name.
c) Always utilize facts (and not emotions) in your explanation of your concerns.
d) Demand action. Make a request or suggestion on what you hope to see done, whether it is a change in policy overall or a specific vote on a bill.
Sample letters: templates you can use to write a letter demanding change
Whether you would like to create a program, expand a program, or save an existing one, we suggest contacting your school district's superintendent and / or the school board.
Dear [NAME]:
I would like to express my concern for the future of your students who do not have the opportunity to study foreign languages.
The benefits of any world language education program are numerous and widespread. Learning a second or third language has lead to improvements in other academic subjects across the board: development of basic skills, higher standardized test scores, cognitive development, and benefits to critical thinking. There are rewards of world language learning that are directly correlated to a student's success as an adult, too. Understanding other languages and cultures provides employment opportunities, facilitates travel, and can lead to higher pay. To begin world language instruction early is to give students a jump start on these benefits. The long sequence of instruction leads to more advanced proficiency and provides intercultural understanding through exploration of different world perceptions and values.
If the goal of any educational system is to produce well-rounded and productive members of society, it goes without saying that world language education is an integral part of the process. The U.S. is the only industrialized nation that routinely graduates students from high school with knowledge of only one language. Your school district can help to improve this image by reinstating your elementary and middle school language programs.
We cannot send students into the world today as monolinguals and feel confident that, with the ever-growing global interconnectedness of our world today, they will be economically secure or culturally aware. Competence in other languages is no longer frivolous; it is fundamental.
On behalf of the students and teachers of [SCHOOL DISTRICT], thank you for your time and consideration.
If you are hoping to sway votes on an issue of policy, you will want to contact your local, state, or federal politician.
Remember that elected officials and prominent community members receive many letters every day. This should not discourage you from writing to them; rather, it should remind you to use their time wisely. Take time to write a well thought out, respectful, articulate, and knowledgeable letter and it will be more likely to capture their attention.
You can click the given links to find the contact information for your local representative or for your senator, or look up specific legislation to find out whom you should contact.
