The Arizona Immigration Law's Day in Court Has Passed. So Has Its Day in the Sun.
April 26, 2012 - Posted by Ali Noorani
What if the Supreme Court's decision on the constitutionality of Arizona's anti-immigrant law, S.B. 1070, doesn't matter? No matter how the court rules, consensus is emerging that Arizona and the states that have copied its discriminatory law are engaging in bad policy and bad politics — the type that could turn neighbor against neighbor and state against state as disparate immigration approaches rattle communities.

So who are the Dolly Rockers then? That's an unusually complicated question given the band's line-up changes and history of false starts but in a nutshell they are one of pop music's most underrated girl groups. (Listen to 2009′s "Boys Will Be Boys" for proof). What the British babes lack in chart success, they more than make up for in tenacity.
After staying in the public eye with a series of fantastic covers, the trio is back with a summery RedOne-produced anthem that might just signal better times ahead. There's a subtle reggae flavor to the party jam, which represents an interesting change of direction for them. At a time when Little Mix are scoring hits internationally, there's no reason why Dolly Rockers can't get a piece of the pie. Prepare to raise your glass after the jump.
Do the Dolly Rockers have a hit on their hands? Let us know in the comments below.

A number of new laws took effect on Aug. 1, including one that will help small breweries continue to grow, another that will protect teens who have been drinking in certain situations, and another to protect the property of murder victims.
Underage drinking is nothing new, and it's definitely a problem authorities hope to curb -- but now, intoxicated teenagers will be protected if they do the right thing by calling for help if a peer is in danger.
"I think it's going to save some lives," predicted Minnesota Sen. Barb Goodwin, the law's sponsor.
According to Goodwin, minors will be protected from getting a ticket for underage drinking when they call 911 to help someone who is having a medical emergency at a party.
"What happens now is: Kids are at a party and they are afraid to help someone out or call police or an ambulance," she said. "Kids can get very ill or die from alcohol poisoning."
Another new law will help families of murder victims get their loved one's belongings after the crime.
In March, FOX 9 News reported that Jim Nibbe's family spent more than two years struggling to retrieve some of his prized possessions after his wife, Jennifer, confessed to killing him.
NIBBE FAMILY'S TWO-YEAR FIGHT CONTINUES: http://bit.ly/19AWDpM
"Jim's watch we never got back. His class ring, we never got back," Leslie Johnson, Nibbe's sister, told FOX 9 News.
Now, "Jim's Law" allows family members to file a list of belongings affected by the state's slayer statute, which prevents a killer from inheriting their victim's property. Under the new law, loved ones would be able to collect the belongings after the verdict.
"It also gives us some validation that what we went through was wrong -- so wrong that the law is being changed," Johnson said.
Beer drinkers will be raising a glass to the new law that will keep microbreweries like Fulton from grumbling about growlers.
"The impact is a big deal for us," Ryan Petz said.
The so-called "Growler Law" allows breweries that make up to 20,000 barrels a year to sell the 64-oz. containers of beer instead of cutting those breweries off once they hit 3,500 barrels.
"When you are at that 3,000- to 4,000-barrel level, you are a small brewery that's growing, hoping to be a bigger brewery," Petz explained. "So, to lose that revenue stream at that time would be really, really damaging. It really helps us keep that going and keeps us growing."
The past legislative session was certainly a busy one for local lawmakers. Other major changes to Minnesota statutes that took effect on Aug. 1:
- Workers are allowed to use sick days to care for loved ones beyond immediate family- Landlords will be fined $500 for failing to tell tenants about property foreclosures- Prank 911 callers will face stiffer penalties

Phase One "rescues" Leaf from Kodak (medium format news)
The Imaging Insider has just posted the hot new press release revealing that Phase One is taking Leaf from Kodak and forming a new company, Leaf Imaging, that will continue development and operations in Tel Aviv, Israel. The price of the transaction was not revealed.
This further consolidates the world of Medium Format, as it tries to both attack and defend itself from high-end DSLRs. This is also further "ouch" for Kodak fans, as the company sheds yet another professional-photography resource.
Rejected title for this post: "As the medium format world turns: Phase One turns a new Leaf".

Q: I have the great fortune of having a geeky girl for a girlfriend. We met at Comic Con, play WoW together, cosplay together, etc. We've been together for several years, and have only had a few arguments in all that time.
One of those arguments was about my female friends. I never have been -- and never would be -- disloyal, but my girlfriend gets very worried that one day I'll run off with one of them, no matter how many times I tell or show her that she's the only one for me. She is also very sensitive about anything she perceives as "keeping secrets" from her because of experiences with previous guys.
So here's the kicker. She has a friend who's a "booth babe" at some of the conventions we go to. This girl is actually surprisingly cool and used to invite the two of us over to her place to watch movies and play video games and stuff. But in recent months she's been avoiding us. Then last week, she told me that the reason is because she is attracted to ME, and is afraid of screwing things up between my girlfriend and I.
Meanwhile, my girlfriend is still inquiring from time to time about why her booth babe friend no longer wants to hang out any more.
So, what should I do? If I tell my girlfriend, she'll probably go into meltdown. If I don't tell her and she finds out that I didn't tell her, it'll be a NUCLEAR meltdown. And there's always the possibility that if I tell my girlfriend, she might not even believe me. (I don't think I would believe me. Booth babe's boyfriends usually are much better looking and make about 3x as much as I do, so to be honest, I'm a bit shocked that I could be causing all this soap-opera level drama.)
What should I do?
POLL: What should he do?

That is a very uninformed and innaccurate statement. You have obviously not been listening to the hundreds of debates concerning the ACA which included participants from both sides of the political aisle for the past few years on Fox News. The difference Fox offers is that it actually offers input from both political perspectives as compared the the steadfastly liberal mantra of the MSNM. ACA is a trainwreck, don't buy a ticket.
It wasn't believable then and it surely isn't going to happen today. The process is to say anything to get elected and when questioned (about promises), dance, slick-talk and avoid being cornered.
The moral -- It's rather difficult to get straight answers from a naturally crooked tongue!

PARIS (Reuters) - Renault
Renault wants unions to accept measures including about 8,000 job cuts over three years and moving workers between sites.
Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg, who is attempting to stem a wave of layoffs and plant closures as jobless claims in France reach 15-year highs, said in a broadcast interview that both sides had made concessions.
"I think it's on the way," Montebourg said when asked if an agreement was likely, adding he thought a deal could come "in the coming days".
Regarding France's other car maker, PSA Peugeot Citroen
Peugeot has a one-year-old alliance with General Motors
Montebourg reiterated the government's line that it has no plans to acquire a stake in Peugeot, which suffered a biggest-ever loss last year.
The minister backed an idea floated by Environment Minister Delphine Batho to offer incentives to owners of older diesel cars to buy less-polluting models.
But he ruled out a return to a general scrappage bonus, calling it "a drug" for car makers, and also opposed raising fuel taxes on diesel fuel to bring them into line with gasoline, a move proposed by the government's auditor this week.

The Ramsar Convention's Small Grants Fund 2002 Allocations Report
Ramsar Small Grants Fund for Wetland Conservation and Wise Use (SGF)
Allocations Report for the 2002 funding cycle
The Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands established the Ramsar Small Grants Fund (SGF) with a view to providing assistance for wetland conservation and wise use in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The wise use concept has been defined as "the sustainable utilisation of wetlands for the benefit of humankind and compatible with the maintenance of the natural properties of the ecosystem". The SGF Operational Guidelines put emphasis upon the implementation of the Ramsar Strategic Plan, and thus the objective(s) of project proposals should relate to the general and operational objectives of the Strategic Plan. Under the Fund, emergency assistance can be provided to Ramsar sites which have suffered damage or are in imminent danger of damage. Countries which have signaled their intention to join the Convention may apply for preparatory assistance to support activities necessary for the designation of the first site to be included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance.
2002 Allocations
In the 2002 cycle of project proposals, a total of 35 completed proposals were evaluated by Ramsar Bureau staff and presented to the Standing Committee, with the Bureau's recommendations, at its 27th meeting, 17 November 2003. Within the funds available, a total of 15 project proposals were approved for funding in this year's cycle, for a total of 574,854 Swiss francs, subject to the receipt of adequate reporting on previous SGF projects in those countries from which reports were pending.
Voluntary contributions to the Small Grants Fund in the 2002 cycle have been made by Austria (Ministry for Land and Forestry, Environment and Water Management), Japan (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Spain (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente), Sweden (SIDA), United Kingdom (DEFRA), and USA (Department of State and Department of Interior, Fish & Wildlife Service).
Summary Description of Approved Projects
"Regional seminar 'Current issues of conservation and wise use of wetlands and wetland biodiversity in the European New Independent States'". This subregional project will involve a five-day workshop for about 50 participants from the six countries in the European region of the former USSR (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russian Federation, and Ukraine). It aims at re-establishing contacts between wetland experts in the region of CIS, identifying common problems of conservation and wise use of wetlands, increasing mutual understanding of current wetland issues, promoting environmentally friendly economic activities at wetlands and especially mountain wetlands. The project will be implemented by the national NGO Professional and Entrepreneurial Orientation Union in cooperation with the Ministry of Nature Protection of Armenia. The workshop will take place at Sevan resort, situated at the Armenia's largest Ramsar site, Lake Sevan, in the period 8-12 September 2003. Working languages will be Russian, English and Armenian, with simultaneous interpretation. It is open to everyone working on wetland issues in the region; contact: Mr. Karen Jenderedjian at firstname.lastname@example.com. The project will operate with a 40,000-CHF grant in addition to 4,347-CHF in-kind support from the proposers.
"Establishing the Bulgarian GIS Database of Ramsar sites as first step towards the National Wetland Database". This ambitious project, joining the efforts of two ministries, two leading national NGOs, and a private sector firm, has clear objectives and activities aimed at establishing a unified GIS database for the 33 existing and potential Ramsar sites in the country, involving digital mapping, through systematization of all available information. The database will be made accessible through the Internet to decision-makers, planners and managers of various sectors, and will form the firm basis of a National Wetland Database (the MedWet 2000 database format is considered). The project also aims at promoting cooperation between state and other organizations in managing, conserving and using wisely wetlands and particularly Ramsar sites. In addition it will deliver a new comprehensive update on the Bulgarian Ramsar sites to the Bureau. This initiative will lead to the designation of 28 new Ramsar sites, further development of a National Ramsar Database, promotion of the Ramsar database to the level of an official state database as a source for baseline information in the process of spatial planning, and strengthening the cross-institutional working group set in the framework of the project. The project's grant is of 39,998 CHF, with an additional 138,975 CHF in in-kind support provided by the proposers.
"Dissemination and promotion of conservation and wise use of Salar del Huasco (Difusión y promoción de la conservación y uso racional del Salar del Huasco)". This project will contribute to one of the Convention's priority areas - communication, education, and public awareness (CEPA) - by creating public awareness of the environmental value of the Salar del Huasco Ramsar site. Educational materials are to be developed, in conjunction with teacher training and exchange of information with national and regional (Andean countries) authorities, coordinated with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Education in Chile. An added benefit of the project is that the activities to be undertaken can be replicated, both in Chile and in neighboring countries. 40,000 CHF has been earmarked for this project.
"Lac Télé Community Reserve Project: Integration of local communities in the development of a management plan". The project is an example of how to promote direct participation of local communities in the conservation of biological resources through the development of a management plan for the reserve: it involves government officials in order to recognize the need for development of national policies and legislation that support local conservation and wise use interests. CHF 40,000 was awarded in order to augment CHF 209,050 from WCS private funds and USAID funds.
"Development of the Croatian Wetland Inventory". This well-elaborated project is a part of a bigger 3-year one which was launched in 2001. The current project aims at providing additional funds needed to help with completion of the Croatian National Wetland Inventory, so far exclusively funded by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Physical Planning (MEPPP). The project will deal with providing the most comprehensive inventory of Croatian wetlands, evaluating prospective Ramsar sites, identifying threats and restoration/rehabilitation needs, and mapping, in order to include the wetlands in the physical planning process at state and local levels. Last, but not least, the project will enable preparation of a National Wetland Policy. Its results will be made available to the public and more specifically to decision-makers. Envisaged project outputs will be a wetland inventory database (MedWet 2000 format), hardcopy, CD-ROM and Web preliminary list of wetlands, maps M 1:100,000, an information leaflet about the project, and a poster with a map of Croatian wetlands. The project will be implemented by the MEPPP which provides 20,000 CHF in in-kind support to the project's grant of 40,000 CHF.
"Preparation for participative management of coastal wetlands in northeast Cuba" (Preparación para el manejo participativo de humedales costeros en la región norte-oriental de Cuba). The project seeks to address the general lack of recognition for wetlands' values and benefits. The specific objectives will include the characterization of the coastal wetlands of northeastern Cuba, as a way of contributing to the development of participative management plans, as well as community/institutional capacity building through workshops and creation of information materials for developing local awareness. CHF 26,100.
"Institutional capacity building and review of training needs for implementation of the Ramsar Convention in Fiji". Fiji is preparing for accession to the Convention, and this project will directly assist it in preparing for implementation, through a review of the national legal and institutional framework, development of a Ramsar-related training course for government personnel, and undertaking a training needs assessment. 34,524 CHF will be provided from the SGF for this project.
"Training and technical assistance on aquasiliviculture and apiculture to a mangrove-based community in Kwale, Kenya". The project focuses on capacity building among local communities on aquasilviculture and apiculture which are important strategies for conservation and wise use of mangroves and their resources at the coast. It will focus on one of the key and priority areas on the marine and coastal wetlands in Kenya. These resources are currently facing many challenges and threats due to inappropriate resource management and unsustainable use of the resources. Some of these challenges will be reversed through training and technological transfer to the communities. The project has been awarded 39,729 CHF.
"Wetlands community awareness programme for Rivulet Terre Rouge Estuary Bird Sanctuary (RTREBS) And Bassin Sarcelle". This is an emergency proposal to save critical wetlands through education and public awareness of wetlands values and functions. RTREBS is a migratory bird sanctuary whereas Bassin Sarcelle is a mangrove site. The two sites have rich ecosystems but are relatively fragile, and both need urgent protection as well as community training and involvement in the their conservation. RTREBS is a declared ecotourist site, and Bassin Sarcelle also has potential attributes to attract ecotourists. From these perspectives the development and management of the sites represent important socio economic assets. This project will address the lack of appropriate community-based education and sensitization at the level of the community leaders regarding the importance of wetlands and their conservation, so as to reverse the trend of ecological damage. This SGF project has been awarded the cum of 39,900 CHF.
"Delimitation of the core area of the Dzilam State Reserve, Yucatan (Deslinde del area nucleo de la Reserva Estatal Dzilam, Yucatan)". This project will contribute to site management planning by defining the limits and establishing a buffer zone for this State Reserve and Ramsar site. Additionally, better protection measures against fire, foraging, hunting and other outside activities are to be achieved by formalizing these boundaries with the surrounding land tenants. The methodology includes the preliminary marking of limits; interviews with bordering landowners and the formalization of agreed limits; and a feasibility study for putting in place a two-meter firebreak along the site border. There are ongoing parallel projects in the area, while additional funding for related initiatives has been received since 1999. CHF 39,903 has been awarded.
"Support for training and management actions at Palau's first Ramsar site, Lake Ngardok Nature Reserve". This project is designed to implement specific priority management actions identified in the management plan which has been prepared for Palau's 1st Ramsar site. Specifically it will undertake training and capacity-building for the site manager, implementation of erosion control and reforestation plans designed to improve the ecological character of the site, and the establishment of a nature trail which will support income generation for future site management. CHF 40,000 has been awarded.
Sierra Leone
"National wetland inventory for Sierra Leone". The project is composed of a set of initial steps to lay the ground for the implementation of the Convention in a new Contracting Party. The national wetland inventory will be carried out through the supervision of the of the National Wetland Committee, involving all relevant national institutions. The results of the inventory will be used to identify critical wetland sites with the objective of promoting sustainable use and wetland restoration.. CHF 35,000 has been awarded.
Sri Lanka
"Facilitating the conservation and wise use of the Anaiwilundawa Wetland Sanctuary through the identification of appropriate management interventions and local community and institutional capacity building". The project seeks to undertake follow-up activities after Ramsar site designation of a wetland of considerable local community, historical and cultural significance. The project will address a number of threats to the ecological character of the site by working with local communities (including farmers' cooperatives) through education and public awareness and by strengthening appropriate sustainable livelihoods including increasing ecotourism. CHF 40,000 has been earmarked for this project.
"Development of a management plan by local participation and production and active dissemination of awareness materials of the Ramsar Convention". It is perceived that there is a general lack of understanding of the Ramsar Convention at governmental level in Thailand, which is critical for the preparation of management plans for the Ramsar sites. The project will conduct education and awareness activities, including production of education materials, with local communities and government in a proposed Ramsar site. The project will help the people to recognize the function and importance of the wetland and encourage sustainable use within the site, with considerable opportunities to transfer the experience and approach to other sites. The project has been awarded 40,000 CHF.
"Ecological impact of the artificial opening of a coastal lagoon proposed as a Ramsar site in Uruguay: scientific foundation for management of Laguna de Rocha (Impacto ecologico de la apertura artificial de una laguna costera propuesta como sitio Ramsar en Uruguay: fundamentos cientificos para la gestion de la Laguna de Rocha)". A multi-sectoral project that seeks to evaluate the ecological impact of opening a coastal lagoon to the sea (five months out of the year), in an area where conflicting plans and priorities for use and management sometimes compete. It forms part of a larger project (funded by IDB and ISF-Sweden) which evaluates other areas and will establish management guidelines, in accordance with integrated coastal zone management practices. The specific objectives of the SGF project include the estimation of physical/chemical effects in opening the lagoon, among them the effects on biomass and productivity, plus the determination of the distribution of zooplankton and phytoplankton. The wetland is planned as a future expansion of the Bañados del Este Ramsar site. CHF 39,700 have been awarded.

Humans with health problems already wear computer chips that monitor their health and transmit information to doctors. As the cost of these chips drops, they will show up in more cattle as well, providing instant answers to important questions.
Smart phone apps will enable to farmers to take pictures of cattle, know instantly what ails them, and transmit the information to vets, who will be more time-efficient and blank.
Tomorrow's cattle herds are likely to be less homogenous than today's. Medical advances will enable farmers to do what's best for individual steers rather than feed them the same and raise them to the same weight.
The future of beef production will be focused on keeping cows healthy and happy.
Ag futurist Richard Kottmeyer says that with China's rising middle class, the demands of the consumers will change.
Futurist Lowell Catlett, an ag economist from New Mexico State University, predicts that smartphones are going to dramatically change medical diagnostics in cattle.
In the future, the cattle industry may shift to a forage-based production system.
Animal health will focus on the social connections cattle make with each other.

A small, tiny favor to ask: vote for me.
You may have heard about the upcoming Business of Software Conference (10/29-30, San Jose, CA), and my first (extremely, horribly bad) video effort to win through your votes a speaking slot there.
It was so bad it would have been banned by the Geneva Conventions (assuming we still follow them). So bad, I asked Neil Davidson if I could replace it with a new effort. Neil was kind enough to let me take the old video behind the digital woodshed and send it to a better, happier place and put up my new video, which I did yesterday.
The new video combines cutting edge images - supplied by other people - with little tiny words that work on television with a new plan of what I can talk about during my 18 minutes of fame: how to write a blogging plan for your software company or product.
In the process of retiring my first video effort, my score (fairly) got reset to zero, zip, zilch. And because it took me a month to get up the guts to point a camera at myself again, there's only a few short days before voting closes.
So here's the small favor I'd like to ask you:
Go to http://www.businessofsoftware.org/softwareidol.aspx, find my video, click the rightmost star under it and vote for me. You might even want to spend two minutes watching it - others braver than me say it's actually quite good.
After the conference I'll post my presentation here as a series of major posts with more detail and the presentation itself if I can at YouTube.
I hate to ask for favors, but I'd really appreciate it if you could take a minute and vote for me now.

Posted 30 March 2012 - 07:31 PM
Hello everybody, I've been lurking these forums for some time now and have finally been prescribed accutane so I thought I'd make a log. I am a 19 year old guy in my freshmen year of college. I have been suffering with mild acne since i was 13 but it has recently took a turn for the worst. I have tried just about everything possible treatment to no avail so i finally took the leap and started accutane. I will be on 40 mg for the first month and if everything goes okay i will be on 80mg for the next 4-5 months after that. This dosage is about right for mesince i weigh 165 pounds. Anyways i thought i would make a weekly log of my skin until these next few months are over. I will try to post pictures every friday of the week. Any support will be greatly appreciated and i will try my best to answer anyones questions.
Day 1:
As you can see I have quite a few actives and a plethora of red marks.

The pictures do not do it justice, I took them with my iPhone in bad lighting. Next week I'll use my actual camera in good lighting. But yes Ive used doxy and minocyline, benzaclin, plexion, retin a, epiduo, vitamin b5( 8 grams a day), and nothing seemed to work. Its very persistent and It always seems to leave a small scar behind.
Posted 31 March 2012 - 06:11 PM
thats a very mild form of acne...
Posted 31 March 2012 - 06:28 PM
Good luck! I am currently on day 3. My acne was fairly mild until i started it rofl. But i have been breaking out REALLLY badly the last 2 days. I am hoping it clears up soon. Hopefully you don't get an IB like i did.

I actually avoided posting pictures on my log, just because I knew people were going to comment like they are on yours about it not being that bad. I tried my iPhone and webcam, and for both the quality of the pictures just do not show what you really are dealing with. Hopefully the camera does it some justice...I was too lazy to bring out mine. Might try in a few days.
Anyways, thanks for the good luck post. I figured I would do the same thing. So good luck!

VSU football players were out in full force today recruiting students for one of the Red Crosses biggest blood drives in Georgia.
"We wouldn't have gotten to that national championship without the support of our community so we just like giving back and showing them that we appreciate the support they give us," said football player, Jesse Yencey.
Nearly 70 Red Cross workers traveled from all over the state to help with the drive. Officials say the timing for the drive couldn't have been better.
"As a result of the northeastern storms there's been 160 drives canceled in 8 states causing a shortfall of about 6,500 units," said Patrick Best with the Red Cross.
Right now the Red Cross desperately needs O negative and B negative blood types. They expect to get 400 pints from today's drive.
And the drive is brewing a friendly competition between the offensive and defensive lines to see who can bring in the most donors.
"It's a credit to our kids for the way they go out and recruit; they put a lot of work into this and it takes a lot of time to go out and recruit friends and convince people who have never given blood to give blood," said Coach David Dean.
And some players even faced their fear of needles.
"I am a little scared of needles but I will give blood because its for a good cause," said player Manny Evans.
"It's something that saves lives, you know we talk to our guys and one unit of blood can save three lives so if we can bring in 500 people that's 1,500 lives that we're saving," said Coach Dean.
That losing team will have to do a little extra conditioning at their next practice

SAN JOSE- On Sunday night the San Jose Sharks lost in regulation at home for just the second time all season, losing 4-3 to the surging Columbus Blue Jackets. The home ice dominance from San Jose is a tremendous feat to be sure. But just like in their previous regulation home loss, a 5-3 loss (with empty netter) against Chicago on Feb. 5, yours truly has a major beef with Sharks head coach Todd McLellan.
In February, I questioned why McLellan didn't use Jason Demers on defense (a strong skater) against the strong skating Blackhawks. Sunday, the beef was why replace the injured Demers with a defensive defensemen in Scott Hannan instead of a fellow puck mover like Matt Tennyson?
Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart (a left-handed shooter) has played his best hockey this season with a right-handed puck moving defenseman by his side. When Demers was injured with a concussion a couple of weeks ago, Tennyson filled in great. The rookie defender played three games, picked up two assists and was a plus-1.
Stay at home type defensemen are better suited with puck movers. Left handed defenseman are better suited with right handed defensemen. This is why Stuart and Demers, and Stuart and Tennyson have worked better than the Stuart-Murray pairing. The Stuart-Murray duo was stifling the sharks transition game for a good portion of the season leading up to the 11-2-1 stretch. It's no coincidence that the Sharks hot streak started the very first game after trading Murray away to Pittsburgh.
In those 14 games since the Murray trade (prior to the Columbus loss Sunday), the Sharks had played every game with three right-handed puck moving defenseman and three left handed defensive defensemen all paired with one of the opposite.
And a big reason for the turnaround were better breakouts out of the defensive zone, AKA the transition game. In the first two periods against Columbus, San Jose struggled mightily getting the puck out of their own zone, especially with the pair of Stuart and Hannan on the ice. Those two spent the entire first shift of the game defending in their own zone and miscommunication between the two led directly to a goal against in the second period. The miscommunication came when Stuart's pass didn't connect to Hannan (who wasn't expecting it). The subsequent turnover that ensued resulted in a breakaway goal for the Jackets. Typically, a puck moving defenseman like Tennyson would always be looking to receive a pass in that situation.
Sharks star center Logan Couture acknowledged his squad's sloppiness on the break out during those first 40 minutes.
"We turned way too many pucks over in the first two periods. They played in our end because of that."
Stuart and Hannan as a pairing, just like Stuart and Murray, is like a peanut butter and peanut butter sandwich. The perfect combination is peanut butter and jelly.
If you ask my opinion, Tennyson was the slam dunk option to fill back in for Demers like he had done previously. So what did McLellan have to say about the lineup decision during his post-game presser?
"We liked the way Scotty played the other day, [it was an] easy choice for us."
I liked the way Hannan played the other day too coach, I wrote about it here, but that was playing alongside a puck mover in Dan Boyle. Playing with Stuart is not the same thing, not even close.
Hockey fans following me all season long have heard me criticize McLellan quite a bit. And McLellan's decision not to keep the defense pairs in perfect ideal harmony is yet another move which baffles me to my hockey core.

Now, University of Georgia scientists have fabricated what is thought to be the world's first LED that emits warm white light using a single light emitting material, or phosphor, with a single emitting center for illumination. The material is described in detail in the current edition of the Nature Publishing Group journal "Light: Science and Applications."

TWLC4 Results
Many moons ago I asked for people to send in their TWLC4 Results photos. A few people replied, and then I let the photos get buried in my email folders. Today, as we near the end of TWLC5 (it was the shortest round yet) I have unearthed those photos for you because these women deserve to have their accomplishments celebrated. Including me! I need some motivation to keep going and looking at how far I've come in the last year is really effective.
Between April 15 and October 15 of 2013 I lost 24 lbs. That was enough to get me back into my pre-pregnancy clothes! Now it's time for some toning. I've been bouncing back and forth between 150 and 155lbs throughout TWLC5 and it's very frustrating that I can't seem to dip below 150 and stay there.
Kate, of http://www.katesullivanblog.com/, wrote she dropped 24 lbs throughout 2014, and I love how happy she looks with her progress in the photos below. Check out the hot bikini she is aiming to wear in July of this year. That's my goal for 2014 as well, to wear a bikini. Maybe a little window shopping for skimpy swimwear will help me get there?

Nine stocks in the S&P 500, including Coach, Avon Products and Newmont Mining are struggling, reports USA Today.» Read More
Sept 22- Home cleaning products maker Clorox Co said it was discontinuing operations in Venezuela as the business was no longer viable and that it was looking to sell its assets there. Venezuela devalued its currency bolivar last year, which forced a number of consumer goods companies such as Colgate-Palmolive Co and Avon Products Inc to slash product prices.
Aug 25- The S&P 500 broke through the 2,000 mark on Monday, a capstone in a rally that has seen the index nearly triple from its March 9, 2009, closing low of 676.53 points in the wake of the financial crisis. Priceline +1,530.3 Keurig Green +1,506.3. FirstEnergy Corp -10.0 Avon Products -6.8.
*Q2 revenue falls 13 pct, but Brazil improves. The cosmetics maker said in June it would cut about 600 jobs, largely in its North America unit, and said it expected restructuring efforts to save about $50- $55 million a year.
While Avon's second-quarter profit and sales both fell short of Wall Street's expectation, analysts' highlighted the fact that the company's sales rose in its largest market, Brazil.
July 31- Avon Products Inc, a direct seller of beauty products, reported a 40 percent fall in quarterly profit as sales were hurt by increased competition in key markets such as Latin America and the United States.
A crush of big cap earnings and arguably the most important economic reports until September make next week the busiest of the summer for markets.
Thirteen stocks in the S&P 500 are targeting 60 percent rises in stock prices...but is it too ambitious? USAToday reports.
With earnings season underway, here are the S&P 500 companies over the past four quarters that have performed best and worst, following their earnings.
The new index will be composed of companies with a female chief executive officer or women making up at least one-fourth of the board of directors, Barclays said on Wednesday in a statement. In connection with the launch, Barclays executives will ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday.
Some of the names on the move ahead of the open.
Cosmetics maker Avon Products said it would cut about 600 jobs, including in its North America unit, as the company struggles to return to profit.
June 23- Cosmetics maker Avon Products Inc said it would cut about 600 jobs, including in its North America unit, as the company struggles to return to profit. The company is struggling to turn around its fortunes after a host of problems in key markets such as Russia, Latin America and the United States hurt profits.
June 23- Cosmetics maker Avon Products Inc said it would cut about 600 jobs, including in its North America unit, as the company tries to return to profit. Avon said it would take a pretax charge of $45 million- $50 million, of which $40 million was expected to be recorded in the second quarter.
Sick of trying to curate cosmetic products? A subscription to Birchbox—which sends samples of high-end beauty products—may be the answer.
For the second year in a row, selling in May hasn't panned out the way people thought it would.
Stocks may be rallying Wednesday, but there are still plenty of industries that have lost substantial ground.
Some of Wednesday's midday movers:
May 14- Perfume and cosmetics maker Coty Inc reported a better-than-expected adjusted profit, helped by growth in its fragrance and skincare business, primarily in Europe and emerging markets.
May 2- Estee Lauder Cos Inc, known for its Clinique and MAC brands, raised its earnings forecast for the full year, driven by the launch of new skin care and makeup products. Estee Lauder said it expects global prestige beauty, to which the company belongs, to grow about 3 to 4 percent in 2014..
U.S. stocks began little changed on Thursday after jobless claims and consumer spending rose more than expected.

Kristin Bauer Straten walks the good-evil line as Pam on 'True Blood'
When we last left HBO's "True Blood," the war between the humans and the vampires had just reached a boiling point and the air was thick with the threat of impending violence. Well, more violence. A lot of blood is spilled in this show, but there's a lot of humor as well. More than most shows of its ilk, "True Blood" has managed to strike a fine balance between darkness and light, much like the tenuous truce — now broken — the humans and their undead counterparts had forged. Pam — the bisexual, acid-tongued, bar-owning vampire, who stomps all over human and vamp underlings alike in spike-heeled boots — exacts violence and comedy in equally skilled measure. We checked with Kristin Bauer Straten, who plays Pam, before Season 6 premieres on June 16.

Oh my God. Yes. ^
Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get us to 47,000
Okay, let's do the Math to see if our goal is attainable:
- Tomorrow marks the 115th day since 'Always' aired.
- There are 30,860 notes as of this moment.
- There is an average of approx. 268 notes per day.
- Should this average be consistent, we can achieve approx. 6,440 notes more by September 24th.
- That'll bring us to a grand total of 37,300 notes by September 24th.
- That's 9,700 notes short of our goal of 47,000.
To achieve that sweet 47,000 notes, we need:
- Approx. 673 notes everyday, 151% more than the trend we're going at now.
I know it's a challenging goal to achieve, but we can do it!
GOD! i love when you do this mathematic nerdy calculations. I FREAKING LOVE YOU GUYS!
Let's do it! The Castle fandom can do this! Reblog everytime you see it!
Yeah, I just reblogged this 10 times in a row….

Popes visit a telework test for feds
Practice sessions spur COOP programs
GAO: Agencies need to improve COOP recordkeeping
FCW radio show on COOP
COOP makes a telework connection
Telework: Good policy, better practice
Experts in continuity-of-operations planning suggest these six ways you can harden your COOP.1. Replicate at each backup facility all security policies, intrusion-detection and intrusion-prevention systems, and firewalls used to protect primary facilities.2. Test the reliability of cipher locks, biometric readers, video monitors and, where necessary, plans for stationing guards to safeguard the physical security of shuttered primary sites and backup locations.3. Use network access controllers to scan mobile devices for viruses and to check for missing security patches before allowing users to log on to networks.4. Implement two-factor user authentication with the help of smart cards, biometric readers and passwords.5. Encrypt data when it is stored on mobile devices and whenever it is transferred between data centers and remote locations.6. Check to see that auditing capabilities in operating systems, databases and information technology appliances are set to log the activities of everyone who signs on to the network and accesses data during emergencies.

Charles Moore, a photojournalist who both chronicled and helped alter the course of history through extraordinary photographs that reflected the brutal reality of the civil rights movement in the South, has died. He was 79.
Moore died Thursday of natural causes at a nursing home in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., said his daughter Michelle Moore Peel.
From 1958 to 1965, he trained his lens on the unfolding drama of civil rights as a news photographer for the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser and Life magazine.
His shockingly graphic images -- of police dogs attacking protesters or marchers being assaulted by powerful water hoses -- helped propel what had been a regional dispute onto the national stage.
As his photographs created national outrage, they quickened the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to John Kaplan, a University of Florida journalism professor who wrote his master's thesis on Moore.
"He had the courage to stand up in the face of danger and let Americans know what was really happening, through his work," Kaplan told The Times. "That is why he is an unsung hero."
As Moore followed the struggle, he was known for his fearlessness and uncanny knack for capturing the most distressing images possible.
"To people who were really bigoted, I was the worst enemy, a Southern boy working for Life," Moore told USA Today in 1991.
"I knew the South. . . . I also knew how to talk back to racists."
The son of a Baptist minister, Moore was drawn to photographing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., then a Baptist clergyman in Montgomery. After witnessing King's charisma firsthand in 1958, Moore sought to cover him whenever possible.
"I knew that this was a man who was going to make a difference," Moore said of King in the 2005 documentary "Charles Moore: I Fight With My Camera." Moore had yet to realize that his pictures would also make a difference.
A photograph he took in 1958 of King being manhandled during a police booking ran in Life and became "one of the most significant photographs of the civil rights movement," Kaplan wrote in his thesis.
Through the magazine, Moore's work gained a huge national audience. Life had him cover the rioting over the enrollment of James Meredith as the first black student at the University of Mississippi in 1962 and later published his photos of Ku Klux Klan gatherings.
His photographs in Life "electrified and horrified the country," CBS News reported in 1991.
Moore's most influential pictures were taken over five days in 1963 during the campaign to desegregate Birmingham, Ala., Kaplan said. One famous photo -- Moore crawled across pavement, positioning himself between protesters and firemen to get the shot -- showed three students being thrust against a building by high-pressure water from a fire hose.
Covering civil rights "was difficult, exhausting and oftentimes very dangerous," Moore said in the documentary. "Plus troubling and emotional . . . because I'm a Southerner too."
By 1965, he had grown weary of the violence and booked a round-the-world airplane ticket. He came home eight months later.
Charles Lee Moore was born March 9, 1931, in the Alabama farming town of Hackleburg and grew up in nearby Tuscumbia.
As a teenager, he took up boxing and owned his first camera, a Brownie.
Charles Moore dies at 79; photojournalist's work brought national attention to civil rights movement
The Alabama native was at the center of unrest in the South, taking emotional and often distressing images of protests, integration efforts and Martin Luther King Jr. for Life magazine.

I sincerely hope it's not a trend. I truly want to believe that the thousands of women and men currently in and joining the natural hair community, as well as myself, are doing this for personal issues such as self-acceptance and not merely because it is currently popular or hip.
I am used…
So, I just stretched my hair out todayy, and…yah im gonna claim APL (armpit length.) about 9 inchs in the back, 12.5 in the front, and the sides are shaved so there like 1.5 and the crown was 9 inches too. I was thinking while looking at some Hair Length inspirations, MBL (mid back length) isn't long enough for me :3 . Haha I actually want like WL (waist length—> using sooo many abrevations hehe) i just think its such a beautiful length. And its such like a beautiful fairy tale sort of length :3, i think of princesses with that length!
By the way! This is two day twist out

Guess the Decade: Entrance Hall
7 Comments
certainly looks 80s, but I have a feeling it's a trick!
The square recessed lights - very now and current - are the giveaway; it's today!
its so now!!
i think both 80s and now answers are right... this has been a long time coming. lets home everyone goes for the 80s and gives their wonderful teak tables to me ;)
I said 80s the little box under the console table kinda has a Memphis look to it. and the art has a very post modern feel
This is kind of a lame-o contest. If you buy the right magazines, you've seen this entire home (what a treat!)
I agree with Olya, tell all the style lemurs that 80s is in and mid-century is out so I can get me hand on a teak coffee table for cheap. You know they believe anything you tell them!

Today I gave quite an important presentation about teamwork. I was pretty nervous speaking in front of 40+ young adults. Anywho, we are told by others that teamwork is good, but how important is it? And how do we make it effective? I think teamwork is super important in all aspects of life: family, relationships and business.
It came down to this when considering the basic principles:
