Litter Explosion ► オープン2064-2280 West Ledbetter Drive Dallas, TX
There is an INCREDIBLE amount of litter collecting along this street between Hwy 67 and Westmoreland. It has been brought to the attention of TxDot and City of Dallas and no long term solution or responsibility has been taken. I organized a school group to pick up a section of the area in late November and it is already trashed again. The road is VERY busy and the space too narrow for volunteers to maintain. This area needs a regular quarterly sweep by one of these agencies. This is an eyesore and per the mayor's "grow south" initative, this gateway into Oak Cliff needs to be cleaned up! The source of this trash is from the public but also from litter coming off of trucks/trash trucks on Loop 12.· Reported by brettonwoods barb · シェア · Flag Flagged

City of Dallas called me to report they had performed a "courtesy cleaning" because the litter is actually the responsibility of TxDot. They did this soon after my call on 2/10. TRASHED AGAIN: Today, there are bags hanging in the scruffy underbrush and trash scattered about. In addition, someone has dumped branches and bags of trash. I will 311 this.
Also about this time, I also sent an email to the TxDot contact, Freddy Navarrette and copied the CoD Southwest Service Area Coordinator Kevin Acosta a request for TxDot to DEEP clean this area regularly, at least 4x a year. I suggested cutting back the underbrush which the trash clings to keep it cleaner longer. Also suggested posting signs about "Stash your Trash" and on a educational level, DISD work in an anti-litter piece in their curriculum working with Don't Mess with Texas and Keep Texas Beautiful which have such available. I have not heard back from Mr Navarrette.

Another shot. There is also a lot of brush either dumped or falling branches (some quite large) very close to the road. This strip along the heavily used roadway is frequented by pedestrians and has somehow missed out on sidewalks. Walking can be quite challenging. have even seen some folks in wheelchairs or pushing baby strollers IN THE ROAD avoiding the impediments.

STILL a trouble area that needs MORE FREQUENT attention.

Come to 75214 near JL Long and Woodrow Wilson schools. The neighborhood (which is NOT predominantly Hispanic) is overflowing with them. I have contacted Al Dia repeatedly, this last time getting a promise it would stop permanently. Only 2 months later, it's back. I'm going to start collecting them and dumping them at their offices. This is ridiculous

This area of Greenville Ave is a continuous stretch of solid potholes.

Need to fix the potholed on La Canada in Green Valley, AZ, off Desert Bell, and all the way south

You have to swirv to miss the holes, and this can cause accidents as these lanes are full of traffic with the Snow Birds now in the area. Your attention to this matter is appreciated.

KDE 4.3.5 Repairs Directory Issues
For the fifth bugfix and translation update for the KDE Software Compilation 4.3, developers tackled among other things some hideous directory manifestations.
Many users complained that Dolphin was not showing new or changed files in symlinked directories. A similar problem emerged with the inotify function with Kernel 2.6.31 and later that failed to show new or deleted files in Dolphin or the desktop without users having to refresh.
The issue of the semantic desktop Nepomuk causing crashes in DBus was also resolved in KDE 4.3.5. The changelog includes the entire list of fixes.
The project recommends upgrading to the new release in its announcement, along with the download site. The first release candidate for KDE 4.4 was in early January, with the first stable KDE release scheduled for the beginning or middle of February.

Evernote Hacked: Security Overhaul Begins
Online note-taking application firm Evernote tells all users to change their passwords after hackers breached its security.
Evernote is an online note-taking application
All users of an online note-taking app are being forced to change their password after suspicious activity was discovered on the company's network.
The firm said an attempt had been made to access secure areas of its service, where subscribers keep everything from written notes to photographs and voice memos.
But it added that no content stored on the service had been accessed, changed or lost.
"As a precaution to protect your data, we have decided to implement a password reset," users were told in a statement.
"The investigation has shown that the individual(s) responsible were able to gain access to Evernote user information, which includes usernames, email addresses associated with Evernote accounts and encrypted passwords.
"Even though this information was accessed, the passwords stored by Evernote are protected by one-way encryption."
The company said its decision to force users to change their passwords was the result of an "abundance of caution".
It added: "As recent events with other large services have demonstrated, this type of activity is becoming more common.
"We take our responsibility to keep your data safe very seriously, and we're constantly enhancing the security of our service infrastructure to protect Evernote and your content."
Microsoft, Apple, Twitter and Facebook have all been targets of hackers recently.
There were also high-profile attacks at The New York Times, The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.
They prompted President Obama to sign an executive order on cybersecurity.

More memories--Homecoming 2004
The homecoming parade, sponsored by the sophomore class, included more than forty floats/entries. This year's grand marshal, President Millard Reed, chose to ride on the Johnson Hall float--a favor to his grandaughter, who lives in Johnson. Other honored guests in the parade were the two winners of the annual Alumni Awards--Fred Faith and Bruce Oldham. Members of the campus community lined the driveway to the school and the path of the parade.
Friday evening entertainment included two basketball games, the induction ceremony for persons who had been elected to the Trevecca Athletic Hall of Fame, the crowning of the homecoming king and queen, two performances of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and several class reunions--along with many other informal alumni gatherings.
Reunion gatherings continued on Saturday as classes and other groups reunited. Many alumni gathered for lunch in Moore Gymnasium in the middle of the day. During the afternoon alumni groups continued their socializing--playing in informal soccer games, seeing the sights of Nashville, and enjoying getting back together.
The homecoming crowd moved to the sanctuary of First Church of the Nazarene for the evening concert. Using the theme "Thanks for the Memories," the concert was an expression of thanks from retiring President Reed for the life of service and ministry that God and the church had made possible for him. The songs in the program were chosen because they are his favorites. Members of University musical groups performed; an alumnus and a quartet from the past sang; and the Alumni Awards were presented. For many the highlight of the evening was the music that came from President Reed, who was accompanied by his sister, Martha Garvin. For some of his songs he was joined by his wife. Barbara, and they relived some of the songs that were memorable in their lives and ministry.
Around town on Sunday some alumni groups continued their homecoming reunions. On Monday the campus returned to its normal routines, but new memories had been created during the three-days of Homecoming 2005.

Three Updated Travel Tools for a Trip to Europe
Gone are the days when backpacking around Europe for several months meant little more than buying a Eurail pass, a guidebook, and quick-dry underwear. Even a weeklong trip requires more preparation than that, but luckily technology can make it all so much easier in the long run.
So, with summer travel kicking off and your flights hopefully booked, here's the three updated tools you need for Europe travel:a
· Chip-and-pin credit card
First off, any credit card you're using abroad should be one that does not charge foreign transaction fees. It does not feel good to get hit with a fee every time you swipe that thing, and there's plenty of options for no-foreign-fee cards. Adding to that, get one that also includes a chip. We've

Trust the fun new social media stuff to be released during the SXSW Interactive Festival these last few days. The one we're most immediately excited for can actually benefit people outside Austin, but ya gotta be an American Express card holder and a Twitter user.
Got an AMEX in your wallet and a Twitter handle? Okay, great. Read on:
Register your AMEX with the short online form here, get a confirmation email (see sample image below), then go about tweeting specific hashtags to score automatic AMEX statement credits based on your purchases at participating vendors...like Virgin America, the first travel brand to experiment with this technology.

Finally! The British Airways Visa Signature Credit Card Goes Chip-and-Pin
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Finally finally finally US credit card companies are getting wise to the need for cardholders to have EMV-enabled cards, which you may better recognize as the ones with the embedded chip on the left side.
We've been following the progress of this since earlier this year when both Wells Fargo and Chase began issuing limited amounts to their highest spending, heaviest traveling cardmembers. Now the technology has finally trickled down to the level of Chase's British Airways Visa Signature.
This card, thanks to generous past sign-up bonuses and the fact it has no foreign transaction fees, is now carried by many American frequent flyers who will no doubt benefit from being able to shop like the rest of Europewith the chip-and-pin instead of a swipe-and-sign. Like us, who've felt the sting of being turned down because a register was no longer equipped for our archaic VISA (example: Amsterdam Schiphol train station).

United is Giving Away Millions of Miles, DSLR Cameras and More in Chicago and Washington DC
Who likes free stuff? Everyone, duh. Who like free frequent flyer miles and free stuff? Hopefully you've got your hand raised in the air, saying "me me me" like an anxious little know-it-all in an elementary classroom, because if you're in Chicago or Washington DC select days in the next few weeks, United Airlines would like to give you some.
On August 31 (that's today) through September 1 (tomorrow), Chicagoans should head to Pioneer Court to meet Olympic athlete Dan Jansen and try their luck at picking a bag off a pop-up baggage claim carousel to win everything from 1 Million MileagePlus Bonus Miles to DSLR cameras, to trip giveaways and Tumi gift cards. You're not guaranteed to win anything, but it can't hurt to tryplus it's free.
The Washington DC event is a repeat of the Chicago fun, just September 19 and 20 in the Main Hall at Union Station with Olympic athlete Kerri Walsh. It's all a celebration of the new United MileagePlus Explorer Card with Chase Bank. No, you don't have to sign up for the card to try your luck, but in case you are ready to sign some paperwork to get the new United/Continental merger credit card, they'll be ready for you.

One More Chip-and-Pin Credit Card Option Hits US Shores Later This Year
We've made it pretty clear how we feel about not having a chip-and-pin credit card when traveling to Europe and beyond, so we're slightly excited to hear about one more option hitting the market. Unfortunately, like the other two we've mentioned, this card is definitely for the high roller travelers.
The Citi Executive AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard—say that twice—is the latest to hit the credit card market. It's got all kinds of perks, but the one that we're most interested in is the ability to use it at bike-sharing kiosks, automated ticket machines, and other spots where it's chip-and-pin or else. The downer of this card is that it comes with a $450 annual fee, but at least it looks like it will be available to everyone—assuming you have the credit score and cash to score one.

Dear US Banks: Travelers Need Chip-and-Pin Credit Cards Right Now. Stat. Pronto.
The USA is pretty tech-advanced, right? We've got Apple, Silicon Valley, domestic airlines with fleetwide WiFi; it all sounds like America has it great...until you get to Europe and try to pay for anything with a credit card. Rejected! Why? Because Europe has fancier cards embedded with a computer chip, connected to a pin, which then don't get swiped, but inserted into machines to pay for things. These cardsappropriately named "chip-and-pin"are making things very difficult for US travelers.
While it's true that Europe suffers from more credit card fraud than the US, hence the extra security measures of the chip-and-pin, that doesn't mean that we should be left out of the fun and technology. Actually, we're left out of far more than that.
Paris' Velib bike rental kiosks famously don't accept any of the "old swipey" cards; they're chip-and-pin only. Corner stores have taped over the swipe portion of their card machines. We spent 15 minutes teaching a cash register girl at the Isle of Man airport what a swipey card was and how to properly charge us for our stupid postcards and pop. Then, just this past weekend, while attempting to buy a train ticket from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Centraal, we were alarmed to find that neither the machines nor the human-staffed ticket counters accepted swipey cards. Stuck without Euros, we considered bartering with travelers who did have chip-and-pin cards.

The USA isn't all that bad when it comes to adopting the latest technology. After all, we're always the first ones to get iPhones and iPads while the rest of the world has to sit there and wait! However, the one area where America is behind the times is when it comes to credit cards. The folks overseas—especially in Europe—have magical little chips in their cards that add a little more security to each transaction. It's really not that great, but it is frustrating when we can't do stuff abroad because we don't have the chip dealies.
Some of the biggest travel issues arise at places like public bicycle rentals, parking lots, and other kiosks where the payment machines are set up for these chip-and-pin systems. Some credit cards—like those from the nifty fifty—won't work as we're lacking the extra little silicon tidbit embedded in our cards.

Tis the Week of the Relaunch of Southwest Airlines' Rapid Rewards Program
This is the week! After leaving their Rapid Rewards frequent flyer program virtually untouched since launching it in 1987, Southwest Airlines has revamped it and hopefully made it a bit easier to redeem your miles for flights you actually want. The refreshed Rapid Rewards program launched on March 1, and although they have been technical kinks to work out of the system over the last couple days, we're sure it's here to stay.
In the new Rapid Rewards, we're seeing a change to points rewards based on the price of your flight and the level thereof (ex: "Wanna Get Away" fares versus Business Select). What's more is the rewards you earn can be used on things like cruises, rental cars or even gift cards [Update: if you have the Southwest credit card, as the commenter below points out]. No more automatically generated flight vouchers.

Inside the Continental VIP Lounge at New Jersey's Short Hills Mall
That looks like a pilot at the desk but really it's just a security guard.
The other week we were scooping up some post-Thanksgiving deals at the Short Hills Mall in New Jersey when we noticed a brand-new Continental Lounge on the bottom level near the Bloomingdale's entrance.
We quickly deduced that this was a special VIP hangout for Continental Chase Card members and fortunately for us, our shopping partner is a Continental Chase Card member (we swear on The Situation's abs!) So in we went.
Officially billed as the Continental VIP Lounge by Chase, the Short Hills location is the only one they are offering. Here are some of the perks of the lounge:
· Free gift-wrapping
· Free snacks like chips, cookies, brownies, sodas, coffee, hot tea and bottled water
· Use of massage chairs
· Plenty of seating area with flat-screen TVs
· A mobile charging station where you can charge a variety of cellphones

The Best Airline Credit Cards Promos Right Now
Sure credit cards are just one of the things that got the world into a financial mess, but if you know what you're doing they can also take you on that dream vacation. Bonuses and promotions can pay for your airfare, but don't charge an infinite amount of umbrella drinks to your hotel room thinking you're just paying for the next trip. Here's our picks for some of the best airline credit card promotions going on right now:
· American:
Citibank has teamed up with American to offer three different flavors of credit card. There's a Visa, MasterCard, and an American Express that will each provide you with 30,000 frequent flyer miles if you're approved for the card. Cheap domestic award tickets start at just 25,000 miles, and award tickets aren't too tricky to find on American Airlines with a little flexibility and spending. One catch—you will have to spend $750 in the first four months to get the miles.

World Cup Tourists to South Africa Have Already Spent Over $128 Million
Are you going through World Cup withdrawal? Yes, us too, and it's only yesterday and today that we have to wait until the games start up again tomorrow when the Netherlands goes up again Brazil and Uruguay faces Ghana. When the World Cup ends for real on July 11, we just don't know what we're going to do, but we do know that the tourists who have headed down to South Africa to support their teams in person will sad to see their credit card bills.
VISA has announced that visitors to South Africa for the World Cup have already spent $128 million, and that's only counting what's been charged to VISA-branded credit cards for a couple weeks. Of course almost 90% of that was on travel purchases like airfare, hotel, car rental and restaurants, but still. That's quite a money waterfall spilling into South Africa right now. Makes the country's building all those $450 million stadiums look worthwhile (ah hem Moses Mabhida Stadium).
So how much of that will stay in South Africa?

Customer Raves & Reviews
Floral Surprise Save the Date Magnets I was so excited when my save the date order arrived. I was very impressed by the quality of the printing and the magnets themselves. While I was looking for save the date magnets on other websites, a lot of the reviews said the magnets were flimsy and not strong enough to hold anything, but these are very durable and strong. They don't seem cheap like samples I have collected from other websites. For my save the dates, I used plum, mulberry, black and white. I also ordered the matching return address and envelope closure set. I have received a lot of compliments about them. Everyone loves them!

Rapha Women's Transfer Ride - Woodend -> Sunbry
A few weeks ago, Rapha Australia put on their first ever Women's Transfer Ride. Basically, the idea of a transfer ride is to combine a ride with some form of transport - be it train, boat, bus etc. - to enable people to ride roads they wouldn't normally due to distance away.
I had a few friends going on the ride and they dropped a kind word to Sarah at Rapha to ask if I could tag along to take shots. Luckily Sarah was kind enough to let me join!
I won't go into a report of the ride because my good friend Caz did a much better job than I ever would at which you can check out over on the Rapha Blog.
I've been waiting for Rapha to put up the story so I could post my photos up and just a few days ago it went up so I'm free to share all the photos with you! Above are a few of my favourites but as always there's a bunch more over at my Flickr.
This spurred on another transfer ride just a week later which again I was lucky enough to tag along to and shoot so there'll be photos coming from that in a few weeks too so keep you eyes peeled!

The first consulting contract landed by former Indianapolis International Airport CEO John Clark at Gary/Chicago International Airport has ended, with Clark's company collecting $165,952 for its work through August.
Clark's contract ended Oct. 8 and the new Airport Authority board, appointed at the end of August, did not extend it.
"As far as I know that contract has expired and there has been no discussion on it," new Airport Authority Chairman Tom Collins Sr. after Tuesday's regular authority meeting.
JClark Aviation billed the airport for 740 hours of work since it was hired by the previous airport authority board in April 2012 to develop business there, according to billing records obtained by The Times through an Access to Public Records request.
During that time Clark and business associate Al Stanley worked on a broad range of projects, performing many of the tasks formerly done by previous airport directors.
Clark was CEO of the Indianapolis airport from 2009 through March 2012. He left the Indianapolis job after controversy erupted about his billings for extended overseas trips to Switzerland, Brazil and Morocco. He landed the Gary job one month later.
JClark Aviation was one of a slew of companies hired on no-bid contracts by the previous Airport Authority. It also granted Clark a contract that could result in an additional $500,000 payday if he succeeds in landing a public-private partnership that meets the airport's goals by the end of this year. That contract is still in effect.
The Airport Authority also still owes Clark for any work performed in September and the first eight days of October under his original business development contract.
When asked about any possible extension or renewal of Clark's business development contract, recently appointed airport interim director B.R. Lane said the just-expired contract will be reviewed as part of a comprehensive review of all airport consulting contracts.
The previous Airport Authority board also voted in July to hire Clark as overseer for the airport's $166 million expansion project. Clark rolled the billing for that job into his business development contract with the airport.
The job of expansion project overseer is now being done by Lane, according to airport spokesman James Ward.
At Gary, Clark was successful in concluding a deal with Chicago real estate baron Elzie Higginbottom's Eastlake Management & Development Corp. for a new aircraft service facility at the airport. He also negotiated a renewal of the Boeing Corp. lease through Aug. 2016.
But Clark's efforts to expand Allegiant airline's Gary service by adding St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport as a destination yielded no results.
In February he traveled to an Allegiant airline conference in Phoenix on the airport's dime. He collected $463 from the airport for trip expenses and billed it $6,431 for the 26 hours he spent working before, during and after the conference.
Three months later, Allegiant announced it would stop flying from Gary. It ended its twice-a-week flights to Orlando-Sanford International Airport in August, leaving the airport once again with no regularly scheduled passenger service.
Clark did not return calls or an email requesting comment.
The billing records obtained by the Times show Clark exceeded the $10,000 per month limit placed on his compensation in October 2012 in every month since then. The largest overage was for August, when Clark collected $17,444 total.
When that $7,444 overage was questioned at a September airport authority meeting by member Michael Doyne, he was told Clark was permitted to exceed the $10,000 cap with permission from the airport director and authority chairman.

Christmas Treats for Kids ~ Sugar Cookies
For Christmas I made Cut out cookies aka Sugar cookies sans decoration except for a sprinkling of sugar before they went into the oven. Makes for a simple sweet holiday treat for kids.
Sugar Cookies Recipe
Prep: 30 mts, Chilling time: 1 hr, Baking: 10 mts
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour/maida
1/2 tsp baking pwd
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, room temp
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper/foil.
2 Sift salt, flour and baking pwd and keep aside. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approx 3 mts. Add vanilla and egg and combine well. Add the flour mixture, mix until well combined. Refrigerate dough covered with a plastic wrap for an hour until firm enough to roll.
3 Remove half of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 ". Keep turning the dough as you roll. Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to the baking tray.
4 Place the baking tray with the unbaked cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 mts to chill. This prevents the cookies from spreading and losing shape while baking. Sprinkle sugar just before putting into the oven to bake. Or frost with royal icing.
5 Bake for about 10 mts till the edges are slightly toasted or till done.
6 Cool on a wire rack. The cookies will harden. Repeat with remaining dough.
7 Cool completely. Store in airtight container.

I was having an awesome time in LFR for the last three weeks, but this week it all came to a thudding halt. I've always lagged a bit in LFR, but now my computer's started freezing every time Morchok did his "Earthen Vortex" move, pulling all the raid to him. This was not a good thing as it usually meant I lagged just as I was supposed to run for sweet life. You can imagine the name-calling from the raid. I tuned down my settings, I turned off everything in the background, it still happened two times before I finally decided to just call it a loss.
It was fun while it lasted, but I think I'm going to take that long-needed break from WoW for a bit... at least until I upgrade my computer.

Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world. Their history of employee participation and ownership and technological innovation has long roots and continues to grow. They have always worked hard to be serious about both people and business. They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.
George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:
While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes.

WJAC-TV: Faculty Prep for Strike Votes at 14 PA State-owned Universities
HARRISBURG — Faculty at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities are set to begin strike authorization votes amid discussions for a new contract deal.
Voting is scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for faculty and coaches at the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education schools.
Members of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties have been working without a contract since June 2011.
Among the issues separating both sides are higher health care deductibles and co-payments as well as compensation for online education.
A union committee will meet Friday in Harrisburg to count ballots from the strike authorization votes. The union represents more than 6,000 faculty and coaches.
The next negotiating session is set for Dec. 11. There has never been a faculty strike in the state system.

Asian markets were lower early Friday, as poor European data and caution ahead of the Group of Twenty meeting this weekend weighed on stocks.
Regional stocks started the day lower after mixed overnight cues. In Europe, there was disappointing economic data as gross domestic product for the euro zone shrank by 0.6% in the fourth quarter - the third straight quarter that the currency block failed to grow, and the deepest rate of contraction in four years. This was offset to some extent by better-than-expected weekly U.S. employment data.
The yen remained in focus on Friday, before a meeting of the Group of Twenty in Moscow over the weekend. The market was waiting to see whether attendees voice their disapproval about the sharp depreciation of the Japanese currency since November.
The dollar was roughly steady against the yen early Friday, at Y92.87 compared with Y92.86 late Thursday in New York, after falling 0.6% overnight.
The yen's overnight strength prompted a decline in Japanese stocks, with the Nikkei down 0.9%.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.2%, pulling back slightly from the multi-year highs that it reached this week. The earnings season continued in Sydney, with shares of two large index constituents falling after their most earnings reports failed to excite investors.
Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto fell 2.2% after the company reported its first full-year loss - the result of declining commodity prices and over $14 billion in impairment charges.
Australia's third largest bank by market value, Australia & New Zealand Banking Group dropped 0.7% after the lender reported a 20% drop in its first quarter profit, which it blamed on lower investment returns and weakness in the Australian economy.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.1%.

Karolina Zebrowska. Born in 1989 in Warsaw, Poland. Portrait, fashion and art photographer.
My main interest in photography are faces. Young, old, beautiful, unique, with scars or covered with amazing make up. I specialize in portraiture photography and I find it the best way to express my style mixed with the character of a person in front of my lens.
In almost 9 years of taking pictures, learning on my own mistakes and experimenting with styles and themes I realized that taking a good portrait is my biggest joy.

As it turned out, the scoring was not only announced wrong for the Demetrious Johnson/Ian McCall flyweight tournament match at UFC on FX 2, but the first reports were wrong. It was actually a draw because two judges had it even.
We've gotten many conflicting stories on the cards, but this is what the actual cards were:
Sal D'Amato had a draw, read incorrectly on the air as Johnson winning.
10-9 Johnson
10-9 Johnson
10-8 McCall
Kon Papai had Johnson winning, read correctly.
10-9 Johnson
10-9 Johnson
10-9 McCall
Anthony Dimitriou had a draw, also read incorrectly on the air as McCall winning.
10-9 Johnson
10-10 draw
10-9 McCall
Based on that, the fight should have gone to a fourth round. The Australian commission admitted they screwed up in adding, although after Bruce Buffer announced scores that would make it a split decision, he called it a majority decision, which implied two judges for Johnson and one even.
It wasn't until the press conference when they found out about the 10-8 round on the D'Amato scorecard, meaning two judges had it even.
McCall vs. Johnson are going to have a rematch in a few months, with UFC looking at doing it in April if both men are okay with it. Neither appeared to be seriously hurt in the fight. Dana White was furious about how this all went down, as you can imagine.

At many salons, make-up falls into either no-man's land or just the opposite—one of the "trades" of the jack-of-all-trades technician. When you have no dedicated make-up artist on staff, who should be coloring clients' faces?
Consumers mentally couple "hair and make-up," so after giving the client a new hair look, it makes sense that the hairdresser might offer to touch up the make-up as well. In a departmentalized salon, the colorist may take over this duty, since fresh hair color calls for rethinking the make-up tones. Then again, the nail tech might be the one to do the make-up since she knows a lot about color, may have more time and can more easily justify charging a fee. But when you get right down to it, a logical conclusion may be that the person best suited to brush and dab product on the skin is you, the esthetician.
"Estheticians are able to look at the skin and know where it's dry and how to prepare it for make-up," says freelance educator Christine Kolenda, who is both a make-up artist and an esthetician. "They can do that better than people who are solely make-up technicians."
Skin care professionals can be naturals, agrees Caroline Rushworth, director of education for Sothys USA. "Many estheticians I've trained do not have make-up training in their background, but they often have some talent for it," she notes. "Usually the interest and passion are there."
Bolster that interest and passion with some solid product knowledge and technique, and you have a whole new profit center for your business. Even if you question whether you have a keen eye for make-up, with training you'll begin to trust your skills, even if you have to work at it.
"Make-up can be very daunting for estheticians who don't have a natural flair for it," Rushworth continues. "They're nervous and apprehensive, maybe because they're not sure about color choice or uncomfortable with the risk of making a mistake."
Agrees Kolenda, "Estheticians can be shy about working with make-up, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Most clients don't want to go out looking painted. They just want to look fresher. My personal observation is that estheticians tend to have a more conservative eye when it comes to make-up, which can work very well with clients."
back to school
Many cosmetology schools welcome working professionals to their make-up classes. Some schools specialize in make-up or even certain areas of make-up; others house advanced make-up programs within a general cosmetology program. Rushworth recommends visiting schools to talk with administrators, instructors and students.

woman who found a couple of ghostly figures in a photo taken with her cell phone said she's not freaked out about it. It appears to be a guy for sure.
A dad shooting video within 300 yards of the West, Texas fertilizer explosion late Wednesday night described a frightening aftermath of the deadly blast.
"It was a pretty horrific scene, some of the injuries we saw,'' Derrick Hurtt told Matt Lauer on TODAY Thursday. "There was probably double-digit people standing in front of me videoing that were closer than I was, and after the blast, they were nowhere to be seen."

"Where are your manners girl?" The lady yelled at me balling her fists and shaking it in the air. I didn't even bother looking back or coming up with a witty come back. I just kept walking. I didn't want to deal with anyone right now. Not even one of the guys trying to help me. I knew where I was going. I was walking over to where my car was. I looked at the parking spot and noticed nothing was there.
"Where's my car?" I said looking around. It really didn't make me all that angry but I started to cry anyway. I was still sensitive from the death thing. It made me feel bad that I had lied to Gerard. I was not okay, and I could tell he knew it.
"Marissa, I know your not okay. Don't lie to me. I'm not that fucking stupid." Gerard said stepping closer to me. I looked over at him with tear filled eyes.
"Just leave it alone okay?!" I said and walked away. I knew my tone of voice changed and that it was kind of rude to yell that at him. I walked over to some car. I didn't know who's it was but I didn't care either. I sat on the back and held my head in my hands. I quietly cried not wanting to be disturbed by anyone. Even if the owner of the car came and kicked me off I wouldn't move. Just after I thought that I was approached by the owner of the car.
"Why are you sitting on my car? And who are you?" The man asked. It seemed it was always a huge man that wanted to piss me off.
"I'm sitting on your car because there are no chairs. My identity is irrelevant. I'm just sitting here. Please leave." I said looking away. I didn't bother talking to them anymore. I new he didn't move though. He was tapping his foot waiting for me to leave. I looked up at him to see his unhappy face.
"Get off my car. Please." I looked at him and turned away.
"I'm sorry but no. Can I just be left alone please. I'm not going to ruin car." I said sitting there with tears streaming from my eyes.
"I am going to ask one more time. Can you please get off my car?" He said balling his fists and closing his eyes.
"Please, I will not hurt your car. I just need to be alone. I will leave your car when I have cooled down." I said turning away hiding my face. I didn't want to look at him.
"I asked you nicely twice, I am going to have to use physical force." The man said slapping me across the face. I fell of the trunk of his car and onto the floor. I caught myself before my face smacked the floor. I stood up and tried to challenge him. It was stupid of me. I knew I should have just stepped down but I couldn't. I regret it terribly. I brushed myself off and balled my fists. I knew I wasn't going to win, but I needed to blow off steam. If I had just walked away then everything would have been alright. I felt him send his fist into my stomach and into the side of my head. I dropped to the floor and clutched my stomach.
"Get up and fight!" He yelled at me from above. He threw his foot at my stomach only making the pain worse. I groaned loud. I could see people watching but not doing anything. How could someone stand by and watch as someone got the shit kicked out of them. He kicked me a few more times before he gave me a disgusted look.
"If your going to challenge someone, make sure you fight back. Stupid girl." He spat at me as I lied on the floor. I felt blood drip from my lips and onto the floor. I looked to the side to see a little pool of blood on the floor. I knew it was coming from the side of my head from where he had hit me. It hurt to blink. I had never felt this much pain before, which was sad because this wasn't that much.
"Kill me." I mumbled to myself. I looked up at the concrete ceiling of the parking structure. I suddenly heard many people talking. I knew the people that had been standing around watching were now crowded around me. So many people were saying so many things I couldn't decipher any of it. I groaned a bit louder this time and more people came over.
"Oh my god is she okay?" I heard a woman say.
"Does anyone know who this young lady is? Where is her family?" I heard another person ask. I didn't want to open my eyes and see tons of people around me. I was claustrophobic at times.
"Where is her family?!" I heard the same person yell. I heard footsteps running up to me.
"Her name is Marissa. She is my sister!" I heard the voice say. I knew it wasn't my real sister, the person after all sounded like a man. I felt someone wrap their arms around me and pick me up like a child. I put my head on their shoulder. I didn't really care who they were right now. I wasn't going to open my eyes and see. I just hoped that they would get me out of this pain, or kill me.
I want to hear from you. What do you think so far? Should I continue?

Spending Every Minute Together?
Lean Into It
My work-wife (boss/dear friend) and I have been working an inordinate amount of hours together lately, and things are only going to get more intense over the next month. When we received the offer of a dog-/house-sitting gig (usually we take turns handling these), we decided to do it together. If you're already spending 12 hours a day with each other, you might as well just go for it!
Usually, I am strongly in favor of alone time, downtime, and independence, whether we're talking couples, families, or coworkers. However, there are times when a concentrated dose of togetherness is inevitable, and I say instead of rebelling against it, settle in and make the most of it! Walk the dogs together, make and eat dinner together, finish up projects at the table together, work out together, go out for drinks after work together, and let your life be like a combination bootcamp/sleepover for awhile. Soon enough your home or work life will be back to normal, with time for just you and a much less intense rhythm. And, ideally, you'll look back fondly on that hectic time, remembering the coziness around the dinner table and the chat-filled walks rather than how exhausted your feet were and how impossible the deadlines felt. You might even miss it, a little bit.

"Lean in" has "jumped the shark."
For real?! I think I've only heard it said, like, twice- Aziz Ansari said it on Parks & Recreation the other night...and I can't think of the other time. Ah, well.
Situations like that can be deadly or create lifelong, family-like bonds... it's a gamble which you're going to get :)
My work-wife has gone on mat leave again (I'm super excited for her of course!) and it's been a bit tough to be honest. We mostly hang out at work but we've both been through some rough time and it's been great having that someone who "gets you" when you're at work. *Sigh* I'm counting down the months till she's back (6 months down and only 6 months to go)
She's my second work-spouse, my first one of many years and I got "divorced" a few years back after he and I had a falling out. Even though I have a new work-wife it still kind of bugs me that his new go to person is at the desk next to me and is someone he used to make horrible remarks about (I guess I'm probably better without him anyways :) based on his personality). Some people are ment to be in your life temporarily and other permanently.
I realize not everyone will get the idea of a work-spouse and it'll sound silly to some.
Good timing as I'm soon heading off on a week's vacation with a close family member. I was starting to get a bit nervous but you know, this piece has helped me realize I should just go for it. I'll have space and solitude aplenty after I get home again!

I find the term really weird. I think your acceptance of it must predicate on how you view your work environment. There are people who I get along with and people who I work well with but I don't view them as friends. There's a division there because I don't hang out with my coworkers outside work. Most are older than me or have children and thus, a different set of responsibilities.
Pi - You're right I think it does depend on where you work and who you work with. My current company is all very young and around my age. We all have similar interests and style. Previous work environments haven't been the same so I was never really close with anyone.

By Web Staff – email | Facebook | TwitterSTEWART COUNTY, GA (WTVM) – Authorities say they have detained a 12-year-old boy after a gun was found in the lining of his jacket in Lumpkin, GA. The Lumpkin Police Department says it received the call around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morning from Stewart County High School about a student carrying a gun. Police took the 12-year-old boy into custody after the principal found an unloaded 22-caliber pistol in the lining of his jacket. The unnamed boy has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon on school grounds and possession of a firearm by a minor. It is unknown at this time how the boy got the gun and why he brought it to school. Authorities tell us when asked why he brought the gun to school the boy told them he forgot the gun was in his jacket. We are told, a student spotted the gun on the boy that morning and told a teacher, then the teacher notified the principal, who then searched the boy. Stewart County middle and high school students attend a combined high school. News Leader 9 is following this story. We'll have the latest information as soon as it becomes available. ©2010 WTVM.

Injuries: Early exit for Halladay
Shoulder soreness sidelines 'Doc'
Published: May 27, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Roy Halladay left Sunday's game against the Cardinals after just two innings because of shoulder soreness, according to CSNPhilly.com. The team said Halladay would be re-evaluated in the next few days and that no MRI was planned.
Before the early exit, Halladay threw 36 pitches and gave up a first-inning grand slam to St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina. Halladay, 35, saw his ERA jump up to 3.98 as a result of Sunday's outing, and it came on the heels of a six-inning performance against the Nationals in which "Doc" allowed five runs and 10 baserunners but also struck out six.
Before that, Halladay was human on May 2 when he gave up eight runs on 12 hits in 5.1 innings against the Braves. Halladay's other seven starts this season were all quality outings, with his best coming as recently as May 12 when he struck out 10 in seven innings against the Padres.
That said, Halladay's K/9 ratio of 7.17 this season is his lowest mark since 2007 when he went 16-7 with a 5.6 K/9 for the Blue Jays. His ERA also is at its highest point since '07. His walk rate is up a bit, but it's nothing damaging. And his fastball is down almost one mile per hour from last year.
But again, these are all nitpicky observances that would be nothing for most pitchers not named Halladay. And they certainly aren't indicators that something was wrong with Halladay before today, or that he is in decline. So chances are Halladay will be just fine with a few days of rest, despite murmurs to the contrary that have picked up this season with the ace off to a 4-4 start.
But for those of you in weekly leagues, he immediately becomes a risky option as far as making his start later this week against Miami. It's possible Vance Worley, who will be trying to pitch through elbow chips, will be ready in time to step in for Halladay. Some other insurance policies Halladay owners can consider (that should be available in most leagues) include: Felipe Paulino (vs. OAK), Wei-Yin Chen (at TB), Juan Nicasio (vs. HOU, vs. LAD), Anthony Bass (at CHC), Wade Miley (at SD), Scott Diamond (vs. OAK, at CLE) and James McDonald (vs. CIN, at MIL).
