I liked this better than video phone, I thought that the Quentin Tarantino theme was stronger in this one and better executed, but I at the same time I don't like Tarantino sooo that didn't do much for me, but they did do a good job so I appreciate it I guess.
but come on, how much product placement can you stuff in to one music video!? Virgin mobile, diet coke, polaroid, even miracle whip and wonder bread! and damn lady gaga, stop putting your damn ear buds in your video. Aren't Beats hyped up enough already? it's just tacky.

interesting video concept, wish it was a little simpler, I didn't like the super cheesy parts, including the intro, leave that mess with Gaga.
But I did like the aesthetic, and the outfits were sooo great, did you see those purple Louboutin platforms, because they were perfect. I've been eyein' those suckers for months. And I REALLY loved the way the scenes looked when shes on the phone with the martini, and that one piece, and all those rings, and the bubble bath, oh shes so perfect.

Discovery Research: Digital Perceptions Study January, 2012
Over one thousand Discovery Viewers were surveyed about their media habits and thoughts concerning advertising in the digital age. The study sought to explore how adoption and usage of new devices and platforms is impacting consumers' relationship with content and acceptance of advertising.
Mobile-Local Performance Stats January, 2012
Just one year after declaring the "year of mobile", the industry continues to accelerate at an exciting rate as brands and SMBs learn the value of mobile advertising. Leading the charge in mobile's continued growth is the value found in local-mobile targeting. From big brands to local businesses, mobile-local is making its way into advertising budgets in a big way. A recent BIA/Kelsey forecast places local-mobile at just under 50% of total mobile ad spend, but by 2016 mobile-local will make the leap to capture nearly two-thirds of this spend.
How Tablets Smartphones and Connected Devices are Changing U.S. Digital Media Consumption Habits October, 2011
Today's digital media environment is rapidly evolving, driven by the proliferation of devices people use to consume content both at home, at work and on the go. Not too long ago, consumers depended solely on their desktop computer or laptop to connect online. Now, a growing number of consumers are likely to access a wide variety of digital content across a multitude of devices on a daily basis. With smartphones, tablets and other connected devices, consumers have become digital omnivores – not just because of the media they consume, but also in how they consume it. Cross-platform consumption has created a vastly different digital landscape, and it is one that requires insight into both the individual usage of devices as well as the nature of their complementary use.

Adding a mobile barcode to a static print advertisement, or on package or at shelf creates a new interactive opportunity for the brand owner or retailer to engage their target audience wherever they are.

Yearly comparisons show that mobile campaigns in the past year have done a great job of capturing consumers' attention (Mobile Ad Awareness metric) and educating them (Message Association metric).

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - Bail is set at $5 million for a Saudi princess who prosecutors say held a domestic worker against her will at a condominium in Orange County.
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas identified 42-year-old Meshael Alayban as a Saudi princess who was charged with one count of human trafficking. If convicted, she faces up to 12 years in prison.
A hearing was held Wednesday. Alayban was not in court.
She was arrested after a Kenyan woman carrying a suitcase flagged down a bus. A passenger helped her contact police on Tuesday.
Police say the Kenyan had been hired to work for Alayban in 2012 and her passport was taken from her upon arrival in Saudi Arabia. Authorities say Alayban's family traveled to the United States in May with the victim.

In this Dec. 6, 2009, file photo, Kennedy Center honoree Dave Brubeck stands for the National Anthem at the Kennedy Center Honors. Brubeck, a pioneering jazz composer and pianist, died Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)
Updated: January 7, 2013 7:19AM
HARTFORD, Conn. — Jazz composer and pianist Dave Brubeck, whose pioneering style in pieces such as "Take Five" caught listeners' ears with exotic, challenging rhythms, has died. He was 91.
Mr. Brubeck, who lived in Wilton, died Wednesday morning at Norwalk Hospital of heart failure after being stricken while on his way to a cardiology appointment, said his manager Russell Gloyd. Mr. Brubeck would have turned 92 on Thursday.
He had a career that spanned almost all American jazz since World War II. He formed the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 and he helped define the swinging, smoky rhythms of 1950s and '60s club jazz.
George Wein, a jazz pianist and founder of the Newport Jazz Festival, had known Mr. Brubeck since he first worked in Wein's club in Boston in 1952.
"No one else played like Dave Brubeck," he said. "No one had the approach to the music that he did. That approach communicated." Brubeck "represented the best that we can have in jazz," he added. "The quality of his persona helped every other jazz musician."
Mr. Brubeck played Chicago often on tour, and was the first jazz act at the opening of the remodeled Symphony Center in October 1997.
Symphony Center director of programming Jim Fahey, who booked that performance, recalled the musician's crossover appeal.
"A big part of that would have been his personality on stage and off stage," Fahey said.. "He always came across as being an enthusiastic and warm human being. Certainly that was the experience I had with him. But he brought that humanity to his performances along with a great deal of passion. He last played here in 2007 and his health had not been the best, but his performances were outstanding. He would get behind the piano and be revitalized."
"We had him here once on a corporate night we do as a fund-raiser. So I got to hear some of his pieces arranged for orchestra as well as some of the pieces he wrote for orchestra, which was always great. He was such a prolific composer."
The seminal album "Time Out," released by the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1959, was the first ever million-selling jazz LP, and is still among the best-selling jazz albums of all time. It opens with "Blue Rondo a la Turk" in 9/8 time — nine beats to the measure instead of the customary two, three or four beats. A piano-and-saxophone whirlwind based loosely on a Mozart piece, "Blue Rondo" eventually intercuts between piano and a more traditional 4/4 jazz rhythm.
The album also features "Take Five" — in 5/4 time — which became the quartet's signature theme and even made the Billboard singles chart in 1961. It was composed by Mr. Brubeck's longtime saxophonist, Paul Desmond.
"When you start out with goals — mine were to play polytonally and polyrhythmically — you never exhaust that," Mr. Brubeck told the Associated Press in 1995. "I started doing that in the 1940s. It's still a challenge to discover what can be done with just those two elements."
In later years, Mr. Brubeck composed music for operas, ballet, even a contemporary mass.
In the late 1980s, he contributed music for one episode of an eight-part series of television specials, "This Is America, Charlie Brown."
His music was for an episode involving NASA and the space station. He worked with three of his sons — Chris on bass trombone and electric bass, Dan on drums and Matthew on cello — and included excerpts from his Mass "To Hope! A Celebration," his oratorio "A Light in the Wilderness," and a piece he had composed but never recorded, "Quiet As the Moon."
"That's the beauty of music," he told the AP in 1992. "You can take a theme from a Bach sacred chorale and improvise. It doesn't make any difference where the theme comes from; the treatment of it can be jazz."
In 2006, the University of Notre Dame gave Mr. Brubeck its Laetare Medal, awarded each year to a Roman Catholic "whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the church and enriched the heritage of humanity."
In 1996, he won a lifetime achievement award from the Grammys and in 2009, he was a Kennedy Center Honors recipient.
Numerous jazz musicians were scheduled to participate in a birthday concert in Mr. Brubeck's honor that had been scheduled for Thursday in Waterbury, Conn. The show will go on as a tribute concert. His son Darius, an acclaimed pianist, was among those scheduled to perform along with saxophonist Richie Cannata, and Bernie Williams, former New York Yankees star and a jazz guitarist.
Born in Concord, Calif., on Dec. 6, 1920, Mr. Brubeck actually had planned to become a rancher like his father. He attended the College of the Pacific (now the University of the Pacific) in 1938, intending to major in veterinary medicine and return to the family's 45,000-acre spread.
But within a year, he was drawn to music. He graduated in 1942 and was drafted by the Army, where he served — mostly as a musician — under Gen. George S. Patton in Europe. At the time, his Wolfpack Band was the only racially integrated unit in the military.
In an interview for Ken Burns' PBS mini-series "Jazz," Mr. Brubeck talked about playing for troops with his integrated band, only to return to the U.S. to see his black bandmates refused service in a restaurant in Texas.
Mr. Brubeck and his wife, Iola, had five sons and a daughter.

So a few days ago Google announced Google Chrome Beta for Android devices and as soon as I heard about it I immediately found myself in the Android Market downloading the app. Although it's a relatively large file — 16M versus the Pandora app at 1.7M — and may take a few minutes to download on a 3G connection, from my experience so far, it's definitely worth a try. Read on to find out why.
Like other add-on browsers such as Opera or Skyfire, Google's Chrome browser provides additional functionality and speed (although this is debated) than what you may see on the stock smartphone browser pre-installed with the phone. In the past, however, I've never been terribly impressed with 3rd party browsers and eventually ended up dumping them, just to switch back to the stock phone browser.
One reason I'm especially excited about the release of Chrome Beta for Android is, well, because I can actually download it. Unfortunately for those users running anything less than Android's newest OS, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, you won't be able to download the Beta. The good news for users who do have the necessary software, is that the Beta is available both for phone and tablet. No word on iOS versions yet either, but you saw how long Gmail for iOS took, so don't hold your breath.
Assuming you are lucky enough to be sporting Android 4.0 and you download the app, Google has introduced some great features that help integrate your desktop browsing experience with your mobile browsing experience, relatively seamlessly.
Once you sign-in to Chrome on both your Android device and your desktop, here's what Chrome can do for you, from Google's blog post:
Some people are completely against allowing Google to use their account to track their every move, however, I believe the autocomplete suggestions and bookmark syncing features are worth the risk. As I'm sure many of you are, I'm pretty much constantly on the move and a lot of the time our smartphones just lack the ease and agility of our desktop set-ups; I believe this is a step in the right direction towards addressing that problem.
It doesn't seem like Google is stopping here, however, they close their blog post with this, "we look forward to working closely with the developer community to create a better web on a platform that defines mobile." Google confirms this sentiment on their Chromium blog, "We've got a lot more planned to make Chrome as feature-rich on mobile devices as it is on the desktop."
Check-out the screenshots and let us know what you think of Chrome Beta for Android!

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 November 22, 1963), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK, or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. A member of the prominent Kennedy political family, he is considered an icon of American liberalism. During World War II, he served as a naval lieutenant in the Pacific theater and was cited for exceptional bravery for the rescue of his men. Kennedy is the youngest person ever to have been elected president of the United States, at the age of 43. (Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest ever to serve as President of the United States.)

Top 50 RPG Websites
Today I discovered that fellow D&D blog Dungeon Mastering has published its list of Top 50 RPG Websites. It's a fantastic list of Dungeons & Dragons resources and interesting blogs like this one. Among the top ten are Johnn Four's Roleplaying Tips, fan-favourite news site EN World and Monte Cook's site. Definitely a list worth reading.
I'm quite honoured to find that I've been rated #15 on the list, above the D20 SRD, RPG.net and popular webcomic Order of the Stick. There are a lot of excellent sites on this list, several of which are new to me. So far they're looking pretty good, so I encourage you to check out this list.

North Korea is participating in the Asian Games, due in part to South Korean financial support. As athletes arrive, met by high-security escorts, there's debate in the South over their inclusion.
There is little to distinguish the North Korean delegation's living quarters from among the two-dozen apartment blocks that make up the athletes' village of the Asian Games opening this week in South Korea.

Catching Up With... Leila Meskhi
Published November 26, 2010 12:00
During a playing career that spanned the switch from Cold War to Perestroika, Georgia's Leila Meskhi won five WTA singles titles, scored wins over the likes of Martina Navratilova and Jennifer Capriati, won Olympic doubles bronze, and rose as high as No.12 in the rankings. And in 2011, the 42-year-old faces an exciting new challenge: She's tournament director of the International-level Baku Cup in Azerbaijan, to be staged for the first time in July.
We caught up with Leila in London, where she took part in 'tournament director orientation' with her counterparts from the new Brussels Ladies Open.
Leila, how did your involvement with the Baku Cup come about?
LM: I've been president of the Georgian Tennis Federation for nine years and, of course, Georgia and Azerbaijan are neighbors. Azerbaijan is quite a new country when it comes to tennis, but the president of their federation is a very high level guy - the speaker of parliament - and he loves the sport. But how to start building it up… what to do? A few years ago he called me up and asked me to help, and we became friends. They decided to build a tennis academy, and then talk turned to hosting a tournament. Again, the question was how to go about it, and they asked me to help because of my contacts. It took about 14 months of hard talks to secure the tournament. It was not easy, but we are very happy with the outcome.
What can the players expect from the tournament?
LM: The event is being staged at a newly built tennis centre, outdoors, on hardcourts, so it serves as a US Open warm-up. It's quite a small club, but built to a high standard and in five months the 2,700 seat centre court stadium will be finished. I think the players will really enjoy playing there, because it has all the facilities they need to relax, to swim, to spa…
Tell us about Baku as a destination.
LM: Azerbaijan is an oil country. In many ways it's very new - things change very quickly, with so much construction going on. But there is also a lot of attractive old architecture - the Walled City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a Muslim country, but also quite European in feel. It's a very friendly country, there's great nightlife, and food is important. Baku is situated on the Caspian Sea and so they have very high quality caviar! It's not very often that you see new countries or cities on the tennis calendar, so I think it's going to be very interesting for the players.
At the start of your career you represented the USSR on the world stage. Did you ever imagine that Russia and the former Soviet Bloc states would become such a force in tennis?
LM: No, of course not. It felt unusual at first, but I was so happy when I started to play for my own country, for Georgia. We were always called Russian, but of course we were not… we all had our own languages and culture. In 1992, I played doubles with Natasha Zvereva at the Barcelona Olympics, under the banner of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and that felt good. And now, to be creating a WTA event in this part of the world… it's a dream come true for me. It's a big experience, I love to be with the players and around tennis, and I'm really enjoying it.
Is there a secret to all this 'eastern' success?
LM: It's tough to say, although I think President Yeltsin did a lot to help make tennis popular in Russia, and we are seeing the results today. And, of course, in all these countries the level of living has been a little bit lower than many parts of the world. Being a top sportsperson is a way to earn money and improve the whole family's way of life, and people are prepared to work hard for it. Now, the economic situation is much better and going up and up - in Russia especially, but also gradually in the surrounding countries too.
What else keeps you busy these days?
LM: As well as my work for the Georgian federation, I also have my own tennis academy, which has about 150 students. We arrange quite a lot of tournaments for juniors, as well as the ITF events for men and women in Tblisi. It all helps make tennis popular in Georgia, and it means I get to know the girls from early on in their careers, and hopefully I can get them to come to Baku. I also have two kids. Lisa is 14 years old and Giorgi is 12. They both play tennis and enjoy it - Giorgi is the more talented but Lisa is concentrating on her school. They have a much easier life than I did… you know, it's always like this! They have everything, but we try to push them a little bit! But first of all, I want them to enjoy life and enjoy tennis at whatever level.
What do you consider the proudest achievement of your career?
LM: I would say the best memory is of Hilton Head in 1991, when I beat three Top 10 players - Zvereva, Capriati and Navratilova - before losing to Gabriela Sabatini in the final. Playing Martina is probably the highest, highest point because… well, many players come and go but you just never forget such players. To beat her was really something.
What did you do to defeat her that day?
LM: It's difficult to say, now. I'd been working very hard, but I think I just enjoyed the tennis and that was important to the win. If you're playing against such a big star, it can relax you on court because you have nothing to lose. So that helped, and also it was on a clay court and that gave me an advantage as that was my favorite surface.
So did Hilton Head become your favorite tournament?
LM: Yes, and also I have great memories of the US Open, in particular playing Capriati in a night match in the first round in 1993. She beat me 6-4 in the third.
What were your strengths as a player?
LM: My backhand, and smarts.
Who was your toughest opponent?
LM: Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario. I feel as though we played like a hundred times. I beat almost everyone - okay, except Steffi Graf - but I also never beat Arantxa.
Did you have a tennis idol when you were growing up?
LM: Chris Evert.
Were you ready to retire when the time came?
LM: Yes, and no. Ironically, I won the tournament in Hobart at the beginning of the 1995 season, but I got a foot injury and retired from my match in the first round of the Paris Indoors. That was in the February, and I didn't return to the tour until September the following year. But it was too hard to come back… I lost four matches in a row and decided it was time to do something else.
Did you ever play against Kimiko Date Krumm?
LM: Many times. In fact, she beat me in my last match at the US Open, it was the fourth round in 1994 and very close. I almost don't know what to say about her. She's unbelievable. To return and play our kind of game, at our age, and do so well… I just want to congratulate her.
If you could play one of today's players on a level playing field, at your peak and with similar equipment, who would you choose to take on?
LM: I wouldn't want to play against either of the Williams sisters, that's for sure! It's not easy to think about losing… I'd want to play someone against whom I'd have a chance of winning.
You've got so much going on work-wise - what do you do to relax?
LM: Six months ago we moved into a beautiful new house, so now I've decided to be at home on Saturdays and Sundays. Before, I worked weekends but now I don't even want to go out. I want to spend the time with my children.
Is there anything you still miss about your days on the tour?
LM: Actually, no. But I can tell you, I feel like I've had two different lives. I had my tennis playing life... and now I prefer this life.

Brave newscasters are thrust into the field to report on how bad the winds are, how people should stay indoors and the latest damage attributed to the storm. At this point, hurricane reports have become something of a routine occurrence, but these reporters are in for a surprise.

5 Players The New York Mets Could Sever Ties With This Offseason
5 Players The New York Mets Could Sever Ties With This Offseason
The New York Mets are definitely in re-build mode, but they aren't too far off from being a serious contender. The Daniel Murphy project is looking like a success as the second baseman finished second in the National League in hits this year and his defense has improved. They also have some electric young pitching. Indeed, every fifth day was a holiday in Queens when Matt Harvey took the hill. His season was tragically cut short due to injury and Tommy John Surgery will keep him out for 2014, but he'll likely (and hopefully) come back as strong as ever after sitting out a year.
Still, there is work to be done in Flushing. Much of what the Mets do will depend on how serious a player they are in the Jacoby Ellsbury sweepstakes. If they do sign the center fielder they would have a legitimate leadoff hitter and a premier defender in the endless sea of grass that is the outfield of Citi Field. He would also add a dimension to the team that was a tremendous part of its success in 2006 which it's lacked ever since: a base stealer. Though Ellsbury has a tremendous upside, he's always been extremely injury-prone. With the Mets' terrible history of injuries derailing players' careers (Johan Santana nodding his head) and the money they'll have to fork over to sign him, Ellsbury might not be worth pursuing.
The organization will no doubt have a busy offseason as rumors swell about trading for Giancarlo Stanton and potentially bringing Jose Reyes back to the team where his career began. There are many decisions to be made, especially because acquiring established players such as these will mean giving up younger prospects through trades or by simply releasing them to make room for new acquisitions.
These are five players the New York Mets could sever ties with this offseason.
James O'Hare is a writer for RantSports.com. Follow him on Twitter @JimboOHare, like him on Facebook and add him to your network on Google.
5. Daniel Murphy
Say what you will about his defense, but Daniel Murphy can flat out hit. A third baseman by trade, he had to find a new position because of a guy named David Wright. The Mets tried him in the outfield and first base before he finally settled in as the starting second baseman.
He batted .286 this year with 13 long balls and 78 RBI and finished second in the NL in hits with 188. He's finally developed into a quality Major League player, but with greater needs elsewhere the Mets are reportedly taking offers.
4. Bobby Parnell
Like Murphy, Bobby Parnell struggled early in his career but has recently emerged as a legitimate Major Leaguer. Also like Murphy, the Mets could possibly trade him.
In fact, he probably would have been dealt this year if not for a neck injury he suffered on July 30. Though several contenders needed bullpen help (Detroit Tigers, Baltimore Orioles), no one was going to trade for an injured closer.
It might be unwise to trade Murphy and/or Parnell. They've finally developed into solid players – why let another team reap the benefits of the time and hard work that the Mets devoted to develop them? Murphy is more replaceable, but why trade a bona fide closer? Especially after seeing the Texas Rangers come one strike short of a championship in 2011 and the Detroit bullpen blow the 2013 ALCS despite stellar starting pitching.
Despite his recent success at a position that has become crucial in the modern game, Parnell remains a potential trade piece for the Mets.
3. Ike Davis
Ike Davis was exciting when he first came up in 2010. He made ridiculous catches diving into the first base dugout, and the hitch in is swing was weird but seemed to work for him so nobody cared. He was supposed to be the first baseman of the future and provide some left handed power to the lineup. He was to the Mets what Anthony Rizzo is now to the Chicago Cubs.
After an injury-shortened 2011 and respectable 2012, he had the worst year of his career in 2013. He couldn't hit a slider to save his life, and it was in the back of his mind which then made him late on fastballs. To make matters worse, his struggles at the plate began to affect him in the field.
He batted .165 in April, .160 in May and .150 in the first week of June before being sent down to the minors. He was recalled in July and managed to get his batting average up to .205 (including a .290 BA in August) before a strained oblique ended his season.
His second half comeback was too little too late for the fans who were already disenchanted with the lefty, but it might have been enough for an AL team to believe in his potential as a DH. The Mets may trade him for whatever they can get and target a free agent first baseman this offseason, like Kendrys Morales, Justin Morneau or James Loney.
2. Lucas Duda
Lucas Duda provides all the strikeouts of a power hitter without the home runs.
He's a first baseman by trade but was often relegated to right field duty because of Davis. Though he spent much of 2013 in the minors, he was given the chance to play first base after Davis' injury. It was the perfect opportunity for Duda to win the starting job for 2014, or at the very least gain some serious consideration – but he blew it. He batted .200 in September with four home runs, 10 RBI and 30 strikeouts.
If the Mets don't sign someone through free agency they'll likely stick with Davis at first – which means Duda will be demoted to Triple A or released.
1. Ruben Tejada
Ruben Tejada is a Quadruple A shortstop. He has a weak bat and his defense is nothing special. Though poor performance left him in the minors for most of 2013, he did get a chance to play in the Show at the end of the year. In 208 at bats he had a meager .202 BA with a .259 OBP. A broken fibula suffered on September 18 was the cherry on top of the crap sundae that was Ruben Tejada's 2013 season.
With free agents like Stephen Drew, Omar Infante and Jhonny Peralta available, as well as rumors of a trade for Jose Reyes, Tejada may have played his last game with the Amazin's.

19 November 2013
On 28 November the National Outdoors for All Working Group - an alliance of public and voluntary organisations – is hosting a major conference in London to focus on the important role the natural environment can play in providing a cost effective means of tackling health inequalities.
In the run-up to the conference, Dr Jessica Allen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Health Equity at University College London shares with us some of the key facts on health inequalities and the increasing interest that is being shown in developing natural solutions, which she will speak about in detail in her Key Note address to the conference.
Jessica explains that there are significant health differences between the wealthiest and poorest in England – put simply, those who live in less deprived neighbourhoods live longer and healthier lives.
"In recent years, efforts to reduce health inequalities and persuade people to lead healthier lifestyles have had a positive impact on the population overall (data from the Health Survey for England shows that overall numbers of people engaging in unhealthy behaviours has fallen by 8%) but these gains have been heavily concentrated among wealthier sections of the population. To date, initiatives have failed to make the same impact amongst people from lower socioeconomic groups1 and in many areas gaps in health inequalities have progressively widened.
The stark fact is that despite the large investment in addressing health inequalities, the gap in health outcomes between the rich and poor in England remains the same as it was in 1997.
Linked to these statistics on deprivation and health inequality are statistics around access to green space. In England the most deprived communities are 10 times less likely to live in the greenest areas. By contrast, those who live in wealthier neighbourhoods are more likely to live in close proximity to green spaces2 and these green spaces are more likely to be of better quality. Where access to high quality greenspace exists, surrounding communities are more likely to make better use of them; experiencing better health outcomes and greater longevity as a result.
We know that inequalities in mortality are higher for those who have less exposure to green space and that children living near green spaces are less likely to experience an increase in body mass index over time3. Living in a neighbourhood with less green space is associated with greater risk of anxiety and depression, feelings of loneliness and perceived shortage of social support4. Conversely, living in a neighbourhood with more green space and visiting natural environments is associated with lower levels of stress and anxiety and has been known to improve concentration and mood5.
Research shows that 5 groups in particular are disengaged with the natural environment - Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, those living in urban areas with high deprivation, those people from the lowest socioeconomic groups, people aged over 65, and people with disabilities and/or long term health conditions, are the least likely to visit natural environments.
Faced with the evidence of inequality of health and access, experts consider that more focus needs to be directed at reducing these gaps and improving the health behaviours of lower socioeconomic groups. There is an increasing recognition that improving access to the natural environment can be a cost effective part of the solution. Evidence is increasingly suggesting that initiatives to engage more people with the natural environment and green spaces can have a positive impact on health, improving obesity rates, long term health conditions, mental ill-health and premature death, whilst reducing the risk factors that lead to poor health."
The Outdoors for All conference on 28 November will bring together experts from across the environment and health sectors to look at how the provision of improved access to green space can have a significant impact on improving health and reducing health inequalities.
Natural England's Jim Burt, Chair of the National Outdoors for All Working Group concluded, "Health inequality is a major and pressing social issue so we need to do all we can to improve access to high quality greenspace, close to where those people with the greatest need live. This will require organisations from across the environment and health sectors to work more closely but success will deliver low cost solutions for improving people's health and wellbeing. We are very much looking forward to welcoming delegates on the 28th November to start this work."

Sometimes, it's obvious to see that an area of your home is infected with mold. But many times, mold can be invisible to the naked eye.
"You can take 80,000 mold spores and put them on the head of a pen. The largest mold spore we ever saw at CDC under a microscope was only 6 microns. So by the time you can physically see the growth of it there, imagine how many are there," explained Jim Phillips, a certified mold inspector.
Smell is often times a good indicator you have mold. Another sign is sickness.
"There are some groups of patients that who may be immune compromised that may be more likely to have dangerous problems with molds and may get an infection in the lungs from mold or an infection in their sinuses. There's some conditions that can be quite dangerous. But for the majority of patients it's a respiratory irritant for them," said Tracy Bridges, M.D., a physician at Allergy & Asthma Clinics of Georgia.
Common areas for mold are crawl spaces under homes, in roofs and ceilings. And since we can't do much to control the weather, mold experts recommend constantly checking your home.
"Humidity above 59 to 60%, if you have that condition or if you have a leak or any sustained type of water there you're going to see these molds set up and grow. One of the biggest mistakes people can make living in their own home is to ignore it," said Phillips.
Phillips says if you detect mold in your home, have it tested right away.
Symptoms of a sick house: (according to Critterad)
- Unusual lingering odors, stale or stuffy air
- Excessive humidity or dampness on walls, carpets, ceilings, or floors
- Presence of molds and/or mildew
- Watery eyes, itching, nasal congestion, headaches, coughing, wheezing, dizziness, and fatigue
- Feeling better away from home than at home

"A Mobile Library for Artists
Books are difficult objects. They are heavy, awkward, difficult to move, easily damaged (by light, water, the human touch), and yet easy to steal. All of these make the task of distributing and sharing books more difficult, but the challenges grow exponentially when there is no building to facilitate this.
One solution is the A47 Mobile Library, designed by PRODUCTORA, a Mexican architecture firm, and operated by Fundación Alumnos47, an organization dedicated to encouraging learning and reflection centered on the arts and contemporary visual culture in Mexico City. As seen on domus, "The Mobile Library" carries over 1,200 books and other bits of printed matter by or about contemporary artists around the Mexican capital's neighborhoods in a specially designed truck.
Bookshelves have been replaced by overhead trays, freeing the floor of the Mobile Library for reading and social events. The floor is composed of panels that can be arranged in varying configurations, allowing stepped seating for lectures, raised platforms for reaching the books, or completely open space for large groups. The walls of the truck are built out of steel mesh doors, allowing some visual porosity when closed, and creating a strong link with the city around the Library when open."

The libraries are part of architect John Locke's urban intervention project call the Department of Urban Betterment (thus, DUB). The first mini-library was installed on a phone booth eight blocks further north in a rather desolate area that has little foot traffic. The books disappeared within six hours and the plywood shelf within just ten days. In order to counter this, Locke chose a much more conspicuous location near an express train stop on Broadway and put a visible logo on the bottom of each book's spine. The shelf itself is completely detachable.

A City of Colville Police Officer has been placed on indefinite Administrative Leave due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
The Stevens County SheriffŌĆÖs Department is heading up the investigation.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre investigating an allegation of sexual misconduct at the request of the Colville Police Department,ŌĆØ said Stevens County Sheriff Kendle Allen on Friday. ŌĆ£We still have a long way to go before we finish.ŌĆØ
No criminal charges have been filed regarding the investigation at this point in time.
A thorough investigation should be done to this because this is an unusual case involving a police officer.

The 2014 shortlist for the Telegraph Family Friendly Museum Award is:
Beamish Museum, Durham
Elgin Museum, Moray
Experience Barnsley Museum & Discovery Centre, Yorkshire
The Lightbox, Surrey
National Maritime Museum Cornwall, Falmouth
Royal Gunpowder Mills, Essex
Celebrity children's author and Kids in Museums Patron Damian Dibben says:
'Museum size is not important. Certainly I've enjoyed the blockbusters – the real-life dinosaurs and space rockets – but, as a teenager far more crucial was the welcome I received, the nurturing, the encouragement to step into a new realm of discovery, and the sense of freedom that I could get mucky there.
Elgin Museum in Moray is a perfectly-formed gem, free to enter and the oldest independent museum in Scotland. Here, staff like kids to handle their extraordinary trove of riches, from dinosaur fossils to artefacts, medieval, Victorian and World War related.
The Royal Gunpowder Mills offers three hundred years of explosive history. Set over a huge sight in Essex, it has dozens of interactive exhibits and year round events and Professor Nitrate is always on hand to enlist willing volunteers for his madcap experiments.
Beamish in Durham is a one-off, a living museum that takes you back to the North East of the past (with its army of costumed volunteers. You can drive a steam train, role-play as a Victorian Schoolboy, a suffragette and much, much more.
The Lightbox focuses largely on art, making it unique on this shortlist. It engages directly with its community, inspires creativity for all ages and abilities, exceptionally so, and has a brilliant young curator's programme.
The National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth opens up a world of seafaring exploration. Here, as with all the entries, you get the sense that young people are not just welcome, they're vital. All year round, there is an astonishing array of workshops, sleepovers and hands on activities.
Experience Barnsley Museum & Discovery Centre has been created 'by the people for the people'. Young visitors are not only invited to uncover the incredible story of the area, but also to add to the archives themselves. This museum literally changes shape with every new person that steps inside."
The shortlist was picked from a 20-strong longlist by an expert panel of judges, chaired by Jenny Abramsky, chair of the Heritage Lottery Fund. Among the judges were Game of Thrones actress Hannah Murray, historian and broadcaster Helen Castor and Damian Dibben.
What happens next?
The shortlist are road-tested anonymously by families. The families pick the winner. So watch out for the mystery museum family judges if you are at any of the shortlisted museums this summer!

Batman: Arkham Knight trailer offers to even the odds
Arkham Knight will be the fourth game in the Arkham series, which means that, by this point, we already know there's going to be some brutal-looking fisticuffs. That gives Rocksteady the leisure of showing other things that the game will include: brooding, swooping and whirring, for instance. See all of the above in the new trailer.

The former House Speaker and Republican presidential hopeful says it's inevitable that Clinton would be the Democratic nominee for the next election if she decided to run.
A 2016 presidential election with Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic nominee would be a serious uphill battle for Republicans, Newt Gingrich said.
"If their competitor in '16 is going to be Hillary Clinton, supported by Bill Clinton and presumably a still relatively popular President Barack Obama, trying to win that will be truly the Super Bowl," the former Speaker of the House and presidential candidate said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
He added that the current Republican Party "is incapable of competing at that level."
Gingrich also thinks Clinton's nomination is inevitable if she decides to run for president.
"She is married to the most popular Democrat in the country. They both think it would be good for her to be president," he said. "That makes it virtually impossible to stop her for the nomination, I think."
Gingrich was House Speaker through most of Bill Clinton's two terms as president and described the former First Lady as "very formidable as a person. A very confident person."
Asked if he'd mount another White House bid of his own, he said, "I doubt that, but one never knows."
Some possible Republican contenders for 2016 face problems of favorability and name recognition, according to a new Politico/George Washington University Battleground poll.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio — who visited the important caucus state of Iowa just after November's election — had a 33 percent favorable rating in the poll, compared to just 15 percent unfavorable, but 36 percent of the 1,000 registered voters who responded said they'd never heard of him.
Jeb Bush, the son of one former president and the brother of another, was viewed favorably by 39 percent of respondents, to 34 percent who view him unfavorably. But he may have more name recognition than he'd like, according to Republican pollster Ed Goeas.
"The reason why Jeb Bush didn't run this year is because he knew [Republicans] were not past the Bush years," Goeas told Politico.
Paul Ryan, Mitt Romey's running mate in the 2012 election, had a 47 percent favorable rating, with 33 percent of respondents viewing him unfavorably.
The candidate who gets the nod from the GOP for 2016 matters less than the party's message, according to Gingrich.
"We didn't blow it because of Mitt Romney," he said of the 2012 election. "We blew it because of a party which has refused to engage the reality of American life and refused to think through what the average American needs for a better future."

The rant posted on Facebook by the mayor is nothing less than emotional rhetoric if not an outright misrepresentation of the truth.
Absolutely NO ONE has spoke against fixing or adding new fields. NO ONE has denied the fact that there is a need to improve our existing parks. Rather we have been asking for the the plan! The citizens of this community had to go so far as to present to the City a petition that calls for a PLAN and for the voters to decide it's fate. How is that a fight against the youth of the Floresville area?
The real fight is against the citizens of this community and anyone who does not blindly follow the mayor. The mayor and his puppets continue to needlessly obligate the taxpayers for projects under the guise that they are for "the benefit of Floresville", despite citizens desires or even the needs of the City.
Oddly enough, one of the mayors Facebook followers posted to his comment the following: "Sadly, ignorance and stupidity make for something more powerful than ideology, it's called self-righteous blindness." This person hit the nail on the head!
If asking questions of elected officials or in a City Council meeting is a radical movement, then label me a radical!
If wanting to see a plan of how taxpayer dollars are going to be spent before they are obligated is the action of an extremist, then call me an extremist!
Mayor, answer our questions with fact not rhetoric!
Where is the written plan for this sports complex?
How many fields are going to be repaired and improved?
How many new fields of each type (football/baseball/softball/soccer etc) are going to be built?
How many will be lighted?
How and and what is the cost of maintaining these fields?
What concession facilities will be built and who will run them?
Asking questions about how tax dollars (regardless of their source) are going to be spent and how elected officials are going to provide for the infrastructure needs of our community is not a radical, extremist ideology. It is a right provided to all citizens by the constitutions of the United States and the State of Texas.

Instead, she focuses on Yahoo's strong properties that dominate their verticals—finance, sports, etc. She says that the social fragmentation of the has confused many users, and Yahoo is still a simple, centralized place for them to go for many different interest areas (not to mention email).
Meanwhile, back in the search business, Bartz is careful to stress that Yahoo is so much more than search. In fact, she goes so far as to say that Yahoo search is primarily designed to serve people who are already on their site, using it in other areas, who want to look something up. Their market share, solid at 20%, "meaningful" and they want to hold on to it—but, again, she stopped short of saying they want to grow their share.
The anchor points out that Bing beat Yahoo for one day (according to one stat service), to which Bartz replies:
I'm actually glad Bing was that strong. They didn't beat us by much, it was one day, I think it's gosh maybe it was in Omaha someplace, I think it was some small area. [The stats were global, however, they may not have been accurate.] I'm glad Google has competition.
One day is one day. It does not a trend make. But we don't want anybody getting a toehold [in the market]. . . .
[Yahoo is more than just search.] We have a much bigger job than this narrow area.
She also goes on to put the nails in the coffin on the old rumors of a deal with AOL: "No, not any time in the forever future. . . . Yahoo is a much stronger property in a different direction. There is no sense confusing all that."
As Danny Sullivan points out, all these protests that "we're so much more than search," are an obvious effort to downplay Yahoo's failure to grow or win back significant share from Google. Meanwhile, they make Yahoo sound like it's also not that interested in search in the first place.
What do you think? Is that what Yahoo really wants to say, or is this their "active compensatory feature"? (And if so, should they maybe take up drums? An awesome prize* goes to anyone who can name the movie I'm alluding to here!)
* Prizeiness and awesomeness of prize subject to subjectivity and available only where availability and legality permit.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The rapper Kenneth Anthony, also known as R. Prophet, was back in a Hardin County courtroom Monday, Feb. 17, facing serious charges.
The charges stem from an incident with the Kentucky State Police during a traffic safety checkpoint on April 20, 2013. In court, R. Prophet and his attorney were arguing that records will reveal that state police crossed the line during his arrest.
R. Prophet is probably best known for being a former member of the hip-hop group Nappy Roots.
"Things are going to occur and I am gonna want to speak on them. We hope I can grow and become better from this situation," R Prophet said.
The case hasn't gone to trial yet. But at Monday's hearing Prophet opened up about what he says really happened the night he was arrested and tased on April 20, 2013.
"Am I standing up against Kentucky state police? Yes," R. Prophet said.
Attorney Thomas Clay wants a judge to force the Kentucky State Police to hand over documents that reveal details and protocol of why troopers tased R. Prophet, according to Clay, more than 15 times.
"We are asking for any statements that were generated as a result of the sergeant's investigation of the incident, that they be produced. That the sergeant's investigative report be produced and the data that was forwarded to KSP headquarters be produced," Clay said.
R. Prophet said he was stripped, cuffed then tased multiple times.
"I am sure there are several cases in the past that we have not heard of that were similar to this and maybe had to plea bargain to something they didn't do." R. Prophet said.
An attorney for Kentucky State Police would not comment on the case. No trial date has been set.
