Samba TV offers users recommendations and interactive features for their favorite TV shows and movies.
Ashwin also founded the start-up incubator I/O Ventures where he is currently a Managing Partner after departing BitTorrent as the company's President and Co-founder. He spent time at Yahoo, as a member of the company's Corporate Development group. He developed extensive experience in structuring and negotiating acquisitions, partnerships and alliances in the tech industry. While at Yahoo, Ashwin's group was responsible for M&A, divestitures and company strategy in the U.S. and key global markets such as India and Korea. Before Yahoo, Ashwin worked with Wall Street powerhouses Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch as an investment banker and research analyst. Ashwin earned a dual B.A. from Claremont McKenna in Government and Economics.
At BitTorrent, Ashwin Navin crafted a business model for the BitTorrent protocol, invented by his co-founder. With hopes of bringing BitTorrent out of the fringes and into the mainstream. Navin has assumed the public face of the company as an evangelist for its commercial viability. In 2007, Navin drove the acquisition of uTorrent and launched 3 commercial services: the BitTorrent Entertainment Network in February, the BitTorrent SDK in June, and BitTorrent DNA in October. uTorrent has since grown to over 150 million active users.
To catalyze BitTorrent's commercialization, Navin began by engaging movie industry executives directly. Although predicted by many to be highly unlikely, BitTorrent struck relationships with many major media companies including Time Warner, News Corp., Viacom, Lionsgate, Kadokawa Pictures, and others. He also signed the company's first toolbar agreement which continues to be the company's primary revenue stream.

Plovgh is a cooperative of farmers, growers, and ranchers that sell directly to their customers.
This piece is part of the NSAC's series examining different themes from the 2012 Census of Agriculture. The Census has been conducted since 1840 and is currently collected once every five years. In this series, the NSAC is taking a more in-depth look at the data highlights and comparisons to help better present the picture as a whole.
All farmers, regardless of production practices and supply chains, need sound market information about the state of agriculture, consumer trends, government assistance programs, and the agricultural products they produce to understand the shortfalls and opportunities in the agricultural marketplace and to maintain and strengthen the viability of their farms.
Today is Food Day. Across the country people are organizing and sponsoring events that encourage Americans to eat Real Food. You can get involved simply by tweeting why you support Food Day or by hosting an event in your community.
We think one of the best ways to live out your Food Day commitment is by buying directly from farmers. Putting your food dollars towards the people that grow, raise, and produce food that is good for the land and good for you is one of the strongest statements you can make. Voting for change in policy and farm regulations is necessary, but today, the most immediate way you can make a difference in the food system is by buying directly from the farm, and supporting a shift away from industrial, non-transparent, processed food in favor of eating real.
When you register on Plovgh, use the FOODDAY discount code to get an extra $10 toward your next farmers market, CSA, or other direct-from-farm purchase.
In a recent announcement from NOFA, there has been an increase in new locations reporting late blight in the Northeast this season.
In the past week there have been eight new reports of late blight in NY and the New England States, several in counties where late blight had not yet been reported this season. A common theme in these reports is that plants looked fine one day and were heavily infected 2-3 days later. This could mean that the early stages of infection were missed, or that there were a large number of spores in the air that were deposited on leaves while they were wet from rain or dew.
Late blight is a plant disease that mainly attacks potatoes and tomatoes, although it can sometimes be found on other crops. It is caused by an oomycete pathogen that survives from one season to the next in infected tubers and when in the presence of wet weather conditions the organism produces spores that infect plants. The disease can be introduced early in the season by infected seed potatoes, plants that grew from diseased potatoes and were not harvest last season, compost piles, or infected tomato transplants. The spores can be carried through air and in rainy, wet conditions can penetrate the soil.
For farmers, NOFA recommends that they "scout tomatoes and potatoes regularly and thoroughly, focusing on parts of the field that are shaded or poorly drained." It has been found that the most effective form of prevention for farmers adhering to certified organic production is the use of copper fungicides.
NOFA has multiple resources for growers that offer information on preventive measures that impede the late blight pathogen from over wintering on the farm. There are also additional materials available that outline prevention techniques and identifiable symptoms of late blight from other organizations such as the Cornell Cooperative Extension.
If you are shopping at your local farmers market or receive a weekly CSA share there are some simple things to take note of:
-Unaffected parts of blighted tomatoes and potatoes are safe to eat. The pathogen does not produce a toxin that can make people sick.
-Deterioration of produce can occur quickly after infection; therefore, affected tomatoes and potatoes should be consumed right away. This also implies that shelf life of these crops may be shortened.
-Consumers and growers alike, are instructed to put affected produce into the trash rather than the compost to prevent the spread of the pathogen.
To learn more about late blight you can find resources from your local agricultural association or extension agent, or next time you're at your neighborhood farmers market ask your farmer.

This organic nonsense has to stop. I'd like to politely request that those who don't know agriculture cease writing about it as though they do, stoking an already divisive debate that misses the heart of the problem we face: We're not sure how we should be growing food, and thus we're not sure how to eat.
Anyone who suggests that a crop can be raised without the provision of nutrients and pest management should not opine on agriculture. Roger Cohen, I'm talking to you.
Saturday's opinion piece, shows me just how far off course the discussion of agricultural production has gotten because it spreads misinformation and focuses squarely on the wrong problem. If we continue to debate organic versus conventional, continue to view food choices as an emblem of class, and continue to use the nine billion future people of the world as a gauntlet that the human race must run, we are in trouble because the question is not first about production. It's about distribution.
We produce enough to feed 1.3 billion more people than we actually do. And that's in American proportions. In 2000, the USDA reported that Americans consumed almost 2,000 pounds of food per person per year. Meanwhile, 1.3 billion tons of global food production goes to waste each year. Production by any method, standard, or label is not our most pressing problem.
Getting production where it is needed and wanted is another story. We've got a billion or so people on this planet consuming too much of the wrong kinds of calories and another approximate billion getting too few of the right nutrients. Most food production happens far from population centers, and timing is everything whether you're moving kale to market or wheat to a mill, so properly matching supply with demand is tricky. Here we are in 2012, endowed with information and technology that together can make just about any transaction instantaneous. Yet we rely on supply chains that emerged in the 19th century to connect us with our food.
The diversity that agricultural products present complicates matters too. Because of weather, seed variety, origin, soil conditions, and a host of other factors, not every tomato tastes the same and sweet corn from my home state of Minnesota is like corn from nowhere else. I value that distinction in my food.
On the whole, our economy does not.
We produce and consume food within a structure that was built for undifferentiated, commodity products. The processes that move vast amounts of crops from harvest, to processing, to wholesale, to retail, to you keep the producer and the consumer conveniently separated – by about $0.84 for every dollar you spend. The anonymous middle of merchants, distributors, sellers, and superstores has driven consumers to rely on certifications like organic to tell them more about the products they're buying than anyone else will. Producers, in turn, seek that certification as a way to distinguish their products in the marketplace.
Because so far they are all we've had to rely on to see something, anything, through the haze of the modern food system, labels have an inflated value. But don't let that fool you into thinking that only spoiled rich folks, as Cohen would have it, feel strongly about the short- and long-term effects their food has on themselves, their families, and their environments.
Look at Growing Power, where Will Allen has built an urban farming empire-of-everyman. Look at the Bed-Stuy CSA of Brooklyn, where middle income families subsidize shares so their lower income neighbors can participate in getting food directly from farms. Look at the verdant farmers market culture in northern Iowa. Look at the efforts of farmers in Tchula, Mississippi, to grow food – not corn, not soy, not cotton – to feed their county first, and everyone else they can thereafter.
If anything, the debate surrounding how we produce and move food should unite us. Articles like Cohen's are a soap box, and soak up our energy with debate when they should instead focus on shared principles: sufficient food to feed our people, production technology and innovation (from nutrient-rich composting techniques and drip irrigation, to GPS systems in John Deere tractors) that facilitate efficient and sufficient food production, soil and water systems that promise years and years of sustained agricultural production, and access for every single person to the abundance that we now know, but that our great-grandparents did not.
The science should focus on how we get there. I'd like to see, for example, a comparison of per-acre nutrient yields and revenue for six different production systems: conventional and certified organic commodity, conventional and certified organic fruit and vegetable under mass production, conventional but diversified fruit and vegetable production, and fruit and vegetable production under what we might call "beyond organic", "practical", "sustainable", or whatever term most effectively conveys the rational approach of a growing number of farmers to use the best means they have to produce a crop that is healthy, high-yielding, and good to eat. Personal experience suggests that the last of these, which takes place right now on small- and mid-sized enterprises, is our greatest hope.
The future may not be organic but it is also not conventional. We should set aside the debate about organics and start identifying at a large scale an alternative path for the production, distribution, purchase, and consumption of the food that we all rely on for sustenance.
We've heard a lot of interpretive pronunciations of Plovgh in recent months: "plov-gah", "ploe", "plahv". Our favorite questions so far have been: Does the "L-O-V" stand for "love"? And, is Plovgh Russian for…(we're not sure what)?
Nope, none of the above. In fact, the spelling was originally a function of the great URL conundrum that many startups face (see Svpply and Svbtle for prime examples). But the concept behind the name is a bit more meaningful than that.
Plovgh, which is pronounced "plow", refers to a tool, an innovation that fueled a technological revolution in farming in the ancient world. We aim to apply technology in a way that has an equally transformative effect for the current and future generation of farmers, not on their production but on the economics of their markets. By eliminating the middleman, Plovgh producers and customers can both do better.
For the non-agrarians among you, the plough is an agricultural tool that is thought to have emerged in the 6th millennium B.C. when people began using draft animal power. It was not until 1837 that the first steel plough was introduced by a blacksmith and manufacturer named John Deere. Its arrow-shaped head is used to this day to cultivate the soil in preparation for sowing seeds or planting. Thus, the "v" in our name reflects the shape of the tool itself and calls on a rich history of humans working the land and forging new ground.
Last but not least, the plough had an impact on agriculture around the world, over the course of millennia. That it is also a constellation and a yoga pose speaks to its universality, cultural significance, and enduring quality. Our hope is that Plovgh too reaches hundreds of millions of farmers globally and has wide-reaching effect in reinventing markets for producers and people.
So, for historical, technical, and pragmatic reasons, we are Plovgh.

Testing My Faith
I'd left Orthodoxy. But as I waited for HIV test results, I looked to God and the Talmud for comfort.
This summer, I was working for the U.S. Department of State in Mexico, and LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS were two of my portfolios. I met with numerous advocacy groups dedicated to both issues and talked endlessly about testing campaigns, treatment options, and HIV/AIDS patient discrimination, even visiting clinics and centers where I met HIV-positive patients. Each meeting and visit brought a new wave of guilt and anxiety over my own unknown status, leaving me feeling hypocritical discussing these issues and programs when I myself was willfully ignorant. I was given a tour of one facility where they proudly showed off their waiting room for people who were waiting to hear their results. I looked at it with a mixture of fear, anxiety, and desire to be in there. I saw it as a preview of the end of a tunnel that I wasn't willing to go through yet.
A few months later, back in Washington, D.C., I got an email from my graduate school, with the subject line: "Free HIV tests!" Like clockwork, the guilt began and the horror score that chimed the ignorance of my status played.
But I'd had enough. It was time to confront my guilt, fear, and my mother's prediction. I frantically Googled rapid HIV testing centers and went the next day.
With the 20 minutes ticking away in the waiting room, I remembered all those seminary girls I used to jostle over Egged buses in Israel—oblivious to the world around them while they furiously recited Tehilim—and I decided that I needed to do something. Like on Yom Kippur, I needed to show a commitment to the Power so as to warrant inscription in the Book of Life. I couldn't find Tehilim for my iPhone, so I settled instead on daf yomi—something I never even did when I was studying in Israel.
So, there I was, in an LGBT HIV/AIDS clinic, surrounded by condoms, rainbow flags, and reassuring pamphlets about life with HIV/AIDS, reading a section of the Talmud about candlewicks in Aramaic. Within minutes, the anxiety was banished and the horror score that chimed a death sentence slowed. I felt like I was again performing my end of the bargain with God. I was making a sacrifice. It was by no means a religious reawakening, but it was definitely a salve. And then, just like that, the candlewick discussion was over and the gates were closed. The results were in.
"Baruch Hashem," I said to myself. Scientific reasoning for my negative results aside, my status reaffirmed my belief in a higher power when your life stands a chance of being significantly altered. I might go to Starbucks on Shabbat, and I might ignore the lard in my tortillas. I might lie with men like other men do with women. But when it all comes to the end and I can't change anything: He is still all that I've got.

I've had my CCW for around 14 years now. I normally didn't carry unless we were going out of town then I'd put my gun in a case and stick it into the under seat storage box. I'd also normally not carry in a GFZ, sometimes if I was just running in to check the P.O. Box and I had my gun on me I'd just make it fast and not go into the service area, no harm, no foul IMHO.
My "line in the sand" was when 20 children were killed at Sandy Hook, from that point on I vowed to never be without my gun at any time when I'm in public and I've not left the house without it since then.
How horrible it'd be to be to have a CCW only to leave it in the car or at home because you're going into a GFZ and want to be a law abiding citizen only to be caught without your gun when a mad man starts shooting folks. I would absolutely hate to just stand there helplessly while I watched men, women and children being killed all the while knowing that if I simply ignored the law and had my gun with me that I could stop the slaughter.
I would much rather risk possible legal action against me then have all all those helpless, dead people on my conscious.
Like I said, I didn't use to be this way but Sandy Hook was my line in the sand, never again on my watch will something like that take place around me. I'll be armed, legal or not and I'll do my best to stop the active shooter asap to preserve lives.

It is the coward that will not defend themselves and wants all weapons banned. If that were to happen then the big and strong will hold sway over the small and weak and they will wish for an equalizer. "
I completely agree, JTJ. The sheeple who want no guns to be available would then be dependent upon being bigger and meaner than the thugs who would have free reign. I would guess that most of the sheeple are not big and mean. So they would spend the rest of their existence wishing they could have a weapon that would make them "equal" to the thugs.

The Wolverine has released a new motion poster online, in which our feral hero can be seen clutching a katana sword and crouching in the driving rain.
In the background, the Tokyo skyline can be seen glittering and winking, offering a nice counterpoint to the more traditional architecture of the foreground.
The film will see Logan travel to Japan where he becomes entangled with the beautiful Mariko Yashida. All might sound rosy, but Yashida's old man is a violent crime lord, and he and Wolvie don't see eye to eye at all…
The film was recently confirmed to be getting a 3D release, and if the latest poster is anything to go by, it should be a visual treat to see Wolverine thrown into the maelstrom of modern-day Tokyo.
Directed by James Mangold and co-starring Hugh Jackman, Tao Okamoto and Will Yun Lee, The Wolverine will open in the UK on 25 July 2013. In the meantime, you can check out the poster, below…

West Virginia University football will have a part in a commercial for ESPN's College GameDay promotions this fall.
Head coach Dana Holgorsen and WVU Mountaineer mascot Jonathan Kimble will be involved in a video shoot on Tuesday of next week along with representatives from other universities around the country.
Kimble says he just found out about the opportunity shortly after making an appearance in Parkersburg for a stop on the WVU Coaches Caravan and is thrilled for the opportunity.
"I'm so pumped for it," Kimble said Thursday. "I've loved seeing the mascot commercials ESPN produces and everybody watches College GameDay Live during the football season, so it should be a great experience."
Kimble will fly from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles on Monday and spend much of Tuesday with the crew doing his part for the spot along with Holgorsen.
In the time leading up to Kimble becoming the latest in a long line of Mountaineers, he spoke a lot about what it meant for him to hold that title at WVU. Now he is excited to greet some of the fraternity of mascots that he will join in L.A.
"It's kind of an elite group of people," says Kimble. "I'm sure we're going to have a lot of fun and talk about how we can relate to different atmospheres, but it's interesting to say that I'm a part of this huge national opportunity for WVU."
Kimble will be West Virginia's first mascot as it begins Big 12 play this fall and the chance to be one of the faces of the program is something he relishes as he prepares to run out onto the field for the first home game in September.
The exposure WVU has gotten in the months since its Orange Bowl blowout victory is something Kimble believes has really helped the program as it gains momentum entering a new conference.
"It's great. It's one of the positive things we can get here at West Virginia," he says. "Going into the Big 12 is giving us a lot of positive media exposure and being a chance to be a part of this on ESPN is going to get a lot of eyes on us. Come football season, everybody's going to get a chance to see that West Virginia is one of the best teams in the country and I'm excited to be a part of it."
This will be Kimble's second time in Los Angeles and in addition to the fun he hopes to have putting together the commercial, he's also anxious for the chance to spend time with Holgorsen on a more personal level.
After all, up until this point, Kimble has just been a fan like thousands of others who cannot wait to get past the summer months and watch the Mountaineers take the field.
"I'm watching all the highlight videos that come out on YouTube, I'm always talking with fans, I'm working on pushups because I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of pushups this fall and it's going to be a great season," says Kimble.
Kimble says he is not sure exactly what the commercial will consist of, but he intends to tweet photos and anecdotes from his trip on a new official Mountaineer Twitter account that is in the works, currently with the name @WVUMascot.
While in L.A., he's hopeful to run into some of the more well known mascots and share stories based on their experiences.
Although, knowing those other mascots, it may be more of a one-sided conversation.

The Governess Timeline and Summary
- The Governess, rather overwhelmed by her interview with the gentleman at Harley Street, accepts the Bly job offer.
- She travels to Bly, and is pleasantly surprised by the impressive house and its surroundings.
- The Governess is also pleased with Mrs. Grose and Flora; she's particularly impressed by the little girl's angelic looks.
- The Governess thinks she hears some creepy activity in the house that night, but ignores it.
- Things go well for the first few days; the Governess tries to get to know Flora better, and can't wait to see what Miles is like.
- The Governess receives a letter from Miles's school, via his uncle, who's uninterested. The letter requests that Miles never return.
- Mrs. Grose tries to convince the Governess that Miles could never possibly be bad enough to be expelled from school – this makes the Governess even more curious about the boy.
- The Governess tries to learn more about her predecessor, but hits a conversational brick wall with Mrs. Grose.
- When Miles arrives, the Governess is immediately won over by his adorable little face and his air of purity.
- Everything goes swimmingly for a while – the Governess loves her pupils and her job.
- One day, while walking and daydreaming of meeting a man, she does encounter a man – but not one that she wants to meet. She sees a mysterious figure on top of one of the house's towers, gazing at her malevolently.
- The Governess is nervous that perhaps Bly has some terrible secret.
- Despite this unsettling encounter, the Governess cheers up in the company of her pupils.
- One Sunday, the Governess has a second encounter with the evil mystery man – this time, he's looking in the window of the dining room at her, but she has the feeling that he's looking for someone else.
- She goes outside to investigate the stranger. While she's out there, Mrs. Grose sees her from inside, and is terrified.
- It emerges that the man the Governess has seen is Peter Quint – and that he's dead.
- The Governess finally gets some background info on what went on at Bly before her arrival; she's proud to defend her two charges against the evil influence of Quint.
- The Governess takes it upon herself to block the children from any harm – she starts to watch them obsessively.
- One day, playing by the lake, another mysterious figure appears – this time it's a woman, who appears to be equally evil.
- The Governess thinks that Flora has seen the ghostly woman, but has pretended not to. She spills the beans to Mrs. Grose, seeking advice.
- The Governess is sure she knows who this second spirit is – Miss Jessel, her predecessor.
- Now that Flora has been implicated in the Governess's mind, she's worried about what happens when she's not watching the children – are they communing with the ghosts?
- The Governess breaks down and cries, worrying that it's too late to save the children.
- Mrs. Grose and the Governess attempt to keep their cool and solve this ghostly problem.
- The Governess doesn't worry about herself, and instead claims that she's only worried about keeping the children safe.
- The Governess does some further research, pumping Mrs. Grose for information. She finds out that Miles and Quint spent a lot of time together, despite the fact that Mrs. Grose didn't approve, and that Miss Jessel thought it was all fine and dandy.
- The Governess says that she's not accusing anyone of anything, and that she has to keep watching the children.
- She waits it out for a little while; she and the children are unusually cheerful and affectionate with each other. She's afraid that she might give away some of her suspicions to them.
- One night, the Governess has a feeling that something's disturbing the house; she leaves her room and goes out into the hall, where she encounters Quint on the staircase. She's not scared this time – they simply regard each other silently. Quint disappears.
- Returning to her room, the Governess discovers that Flora is out of bed; it turns out she's looking out the window, and is hidden behind a curtain. The Governess puts the child back to bed, but secretly wonders what she was up to.
- After this episode, the Governess patrols the hallways at night, perhaps hoping to encounter the ghost again. She doesn't see Quint, but she does see the specter of Miss Jessel on the same staircase.
- On the eleventh night after the Quint sighting, the Governess discovers that Flora has left her bed again, and is looking at something out the same window. The Governess sneaks out of their room, seeking a window that looks out onto whatever Flora's gazing at.
- On her way, she stops and eavesdrops at Miles's door for a moment – it's totally silent.
- Upon finding another window, the Governess looks out and sees a figure, who's looking up at someone else on top of the tower. The figure on the lawn is not Miss Jessel, as expected – it's Miles!
- The Governess relates the story to Mrs. Grose the next day, and we find out what happened next – she went out to fetch Miles, and he came willingly. His reason for going out in the night was apparently to prove that he can be bad. Hmm…
- The Governess is even more convinced that the children are communing with Quint and Jessel. She's sure that the ghosts intend to lure the children to their deaths somehow.
- Mrs. Grose suggests that the Governess write to the children's uncle to tell him about what's happening, which she refuses to do – after all, she promised him that she would never contact him, and she doesn't want to let him down. She threatens to leave if the housekeeper summons him.
- Another month passes without any supernatural activity; tensions are rising with the Governess and her charges, though, and she constantly has to keep herself from bringing up the two dead servants. She privately rehearses what she would say if she were to confront the kids.
- Miles confronts the Governess about his return to school – he feels like he's missing out on life by staying at Bly, and forcefully says that he wants to be with people like him.
- The Governess, shaken by this scene with Miles, decides that she has to leave Bly – immediately. She runs home to pack her things. In a moment of indecision, she collapses on the stairs exactly where she saw Miss Jessel.
- In the schoolroom, the Governess sees Miss Jessel once more. This time, the ghost makes her feel like an intruder in her own classroom. She angrily confronts the ghost, who makes no reply, and simply disappears.
- The Governess decides to stay at Bly.
- The Governess tells Mrs. Grose about her encounter with Miss Jessel, but adds more on – she claims that the two of them spoke, and that the ghost told the Governess that she suffers the torments of damnation.
- The Governess resolves to tell the children's uncle about everything.
- The Governess and Miles have an awkward, rather sketchy encounter in Miles's room late one night – she attempts to learn more about his school days, but he refuses to tell her.
- Desperate, the Governess begs Miles to let her save him. There's immediately a seemingly supernatural response in the room; it's battered by cold winds, despite the fact that the window is closed.
- The candle is extinguished – Miles says that he blew it out.
- The Governess writes the letter to the children's uncle, but doesn't post it.
- While Miles distracts the Governess, Flora disappears; the two women go in search of her.
- The women find Flora at the lake. The Governess finally comes out and confronts Flora, asking where Miss Jessel is. She then sees the ghost of Miss Jessel across the water and alerts Flora and Mrs. Grose – both of them deny seeing it. Flora freaks out and denies that she ever saw anything, and wants to get away from the Governess.
- When she returns to the house, Flora is nowhere to be seen, but Miles comes to keep her company.
- The Governess is certain that Flora is lying. She tells Mrs. Grose to take Flora to London to see her uncle, while she herself will try and win Miles over.
- According to Mrs. Grose, the Governess's letter never made it to town – she thinks that Miles stole it.
- Miles and the Governess have an awkward dinner together, after which she confronts him about the letter.
- The Governess sees Peter Quint's terrible face outside the window once more, and she struggles to keep Miles from seeing him.
- Miles admits to having taken the letter – furthermore, we finally find out that he was asked to leave school because he "said things" (we're not sure what, and he won't say) to other students.
- In desperation, the Governess yells out to Quint. Miles, in a rush of emotion, asks if Miss Jessel is there.
- The Governess cries out that it's not Miss Jessel, it's another. Miles guesses that it's Peter Quint.
- The Governess clutches at the boy, trying to tell him that Quint doesn't matter anymore, since he belongs to her now.
- Miles looks to the window, but sees nothing. In relief, the Governess clutches him to her, but realizes that the boy has died.

"Spontaneous social ecology works towards the constitution of existential Territories that replace, more or less, the former religious and ritualized griddings of he socius. It seems evident that, unless a politically coherent stance is taken by collective praxes, social ecology will ultimately always be dominated by reactionary nationalist enterprises hostile to any innovation, which oppress women, children and the marginalized."

Student Profile
Elaina Mule, BSILR '10
International Labour Organization
International Institute for Labour Studies
Spring 2009
The Credit Internship Program took me to Geneva, Switzerland, in the Spring of 2009 where I researched the informal economy and social protection programs in developing countries in the International Institute for Labor Studies of the International Labor Organization. My research involved literature reviews, data compilation, and policy evaluation summaries for my supervisor's chapter in the annual "World of Work" report.
Not only have I been able to enhance and develop my research and analysis skills, but I was able to interact, both intellectually and personally, every day with people from almost every region of world. This has helped me to better understand and appreciate economic and social issues from many diverse aspects, allowing me to expand my views in a way I had never done before. This intellectual and professional stimulation was especially fostered through the unique opportunities I had throughout my internship such as attending sessions of the International Labor Conference, watching a presentation by Joseph Stiglitz, and being involved in running an educational course for Delegates from Africa and Asia.
I have formed close relationships with my supervisors and other interns, who cover almost the entire map in terms of their nationalities. I have traveled to over 15 countries in my six months
in Geneva, and the personal growth achieved from my internship and experiences abroad, along with the ties I have made, is something I will value for the rest of my life.

Ninna Marni (welcome) to the Australian Institute for Loss & Grief P/L

We offer a range of services:
- Personal Counselling – individuals, couples & family's: aim is to integrate the loss/es and the grief emotions enabling one to move forward!
- Career Counselling – aim is to help individuals 'feel the fear and succeed anyway', such a motto inspires them to move forward in their careers!
- 1, 2 & 3 day Workshops – aim of this non-accredited workshop is to 'show' how there's life after losses and grief – historical & contemporary!
- 5 day Training – aim is to give participants the choice of acquiring a nationally recognized qualification or not!
- Presentations/Conferences: aim is to show loss and grief is the missing link to understanding major social, emotional & health challenges!
Grieve; Heal; Be Inspired!


text: NEW ORLEANS, La., (KNOE 8 News) - Tulane University has announced it will use a $2 million dollar grant from the National Cancer Institute to increase the number of minority patients enrolled in clinical trials for new cancer therapies. Tulane's MB-CCOP grant will support clinical research coordinators to work directly with physicians treating patients at Tulane Cancer Center, Tulane-Lakeside Clinic, the Veteran's Administration Hospital, Tulane's Clinic at the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans and Tulane's oncology affiliates, a group of private physicians throughout the region that offer access to Tulane's cancer research trials. The coordinators, who will have special expertise in cultural sensitivity, will assist the physicians in identifying patients who qualify for enrollment into cancer treatment trials, as well as work one-on-one with patients and family members to answer questions about clinical research. "This approach has been proven successful in helping to overcome historic barriers that have prevented minority accruals to clinical research trials in the past," Robinson said.The grant also will support a patient/community educator who will promote the program's cancer prevention studies to both patients within Tulane's system of community and primary care clinics and the broader community through outreach to local churches and organizations.For more information on cancer treatment trials available through Tulane's MB-CCOP program or to enroll in a cancer prevention trial, please call 504-988-6121.

Nora is seeing a couple of really good guys but neither of them have really stood out from the rest. She thinks she needs more time to spend with each of them to figure the one she thinks is an ideal match. Juggling dates can be a lot of work, though! Is it a good idea to date multiple people? When should you tell them that they are one of many?
I remember a guy telling me that I was one of his "all-stars" of his dream team. Whatever that offensive basketball analogy meant – I didn't like it. Call me crazy, but in this particular situation, I think ignorance really is bliss.
Has anyone you dated ever told you that they were juggling dates? Did it bother you that they were seeing someone else? Do you usually keep your options open while dating someone who you really like? When do you cut the ties and focus on the one main romantic interest?
Happy Friday!

text: Obama is rightly alarmed at the prospect of a Republican White House taking America back to some idealized, imaginary "golden age," which in reality was marked by segregation, inequality, Cold War paranoia, and a lower life expectancy and level of technology than today. Republicans ignore these ills — as well as positives like a top marginal tax rate of over 90 percent — in their vague, simplistic whitewashing of the decade, substituting an anachronistic pastiche of rhetoric and iconography. A good cartoon.

I feel like I'm fishing tired with this feeling.
—note to self
I just decided to stop being afraid. Afraid of being hurt. Afraid of being in love. Afraid of being myself. Afraid of what could go wrong and focus on what will be right. Afraid of trying something new. And above all, afraid of assuming and claiming what I really feel and think.

Dusty Springfield - Son of a preacher man (via gferdinandus)
So it's a little past, but our valentines evening was eventful. To say the least.
Kolin was a stud for planning a surprise dinner out to Shogun for me, we dressed all fancy and started our little venture, just to get down the street where my car was on empty and decides to die on us as we are pulling into the Shell station right before the freeway.
Seriously, it was not even 10 feet from the pump, but it wouldn't budge. Kolin had to go in and ask a nice man to help us out, luckily one was available.
Fun times.
This song was humming through my head from earlier in the day. Naturally I don't know all the lyrics and sing only the chorus. I truly found my Son of a Preacher Man.
and of course the food was amazing =]

The Full Circle: 360 News Report 09.25.09
Posted by

on 09.25.2009
News from the Tokyo Game Show is rolling in! Lot's of news and developer comments on Natal, including Hideki Kojima's thoughts on the technology. Plus, is Microsoft making a move at purchasing Electronic Arts?
Welcome back to 411mania.com's #1 Xbox 360 Friday news column, The Full Circle. I'm beginning to question my naming this column #1 as last week not one of you wrote in. I can only assume that that means that I've got no readers, but that hasn't stopped me before! Hopefully this week I can get a couple thirteen fourteen comments (that's an inside joke that only Minnesota sports talk radio listeners are going to get), otherwise I'm going to have to knock this thing down to the #2 Xbox 360 Friday news column. Also, no Target Topic this week as I'm under a huge time crunch to try to get things done before a weekend road trip down to Kansas City to watch the Minnesota Twins sweep the Royals! I won't bore you with any more of the details of what has been a relatively boring week (save for several drunken antics), so on to the news.
Microsoft Making A Play To Purchase EA?
There are some rumors coming out from TGS saying that Microsoft could be interested in buying up developer Electronic Arts. While this is only a rumor at this point and Reuters has already declared the rumors dead, there still hasn't been a definitive killing of the news. It is estimated that such a move would give Microsoft a 35% market share in hardware sales and roughly 20% of the game publishing market share. Both companies stock's have seen an uptick in their price as a result of the news.
Whooooaa baby. This could be huge news in the gaming industry if true. It would make Microsoft the biggest player in the industry without a doubt, and it could have huge implications on the console wars. Can you imagine Madden being exclusive to the 360? Yeah, neither can I, since that might be enough to kill Microsoft. Yes, Microsoft, not Sony. Were they to ever try something like making the only NFL video game exclusive to their own company's console, the antitrust lawsuits would be flying. Even then, the resources that EA would give to Microsoft would be massive and would, at the least, give them a huge boost in developing first party games. Stay tuned next week for an update on this situation.
Microsoft Says Major Game Developers Are Getting Involved With Natal
Microsoft announced at TGS that their Natal is getting a lot of interest from developers and that 12 major third-party developers are working with the Natal technology. Those developers included Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, Capcom, Disney, EA, Square Enix, and Ubisoft among others. "The support of these creative partners testifies to the excitement that 'Project Natal' is generating among the most innovative minds in the industry," commented Don Mattrick, senior vice president for Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business.
It should be no secret that I am not a fan of Natal. The list of developers here is pretty impressive, but that doesn't change much for me. I play video games to relax, and I'm only willing to do so much physical activity to play my games. I worry that there is no way to make games as "hardcore" as we like them to be AND integrate Natal into them. There's no doubt that the Wii has a big lack of games that appeal to the traditional gamers. Not too many games like first person shooters. I guess I will have to wait and see how this turns out, but count me as someone who is more than a bit skeptical about this whole Natal thing for the time being.
Apparently Hideki Kojima, the famed creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, disagrees with my feelings on Natal. He apparently "nearly fainted" when he saw Natal, saying that "we are going to see the same sort of revolution of going from 2D games to 3D games with the move to Natal." He also said that he expects that there will be some kind of transitional stage where some gamers resist the idea of playing games with Natal, but he really seemed to fully believe that Natal is for real.
For all of the negative things I've had to say about Natal, I feel like every article I read has developers talking about how excited they are about Natal. Some of that is just what they "have" to say for one reason or the other, but some of the comments Kojima made sounded pretty legitimate. Plus, anytime he speaks up, gamers are going to listen. It seems like every time I want to declare Natal a terrible idea something like this comes out and makes me bite my tongue. We shall see where it all leads, but at least the best in the gaming industry are going to be working on creating games for it.
Speaking of Natal, Red Octane President Kai Huang commented on it saying that he expects Guitar Hero to do something to integrate the technology into the series. He suggested that perhaps the game could use motion detection to see how the player is playing, or perhaps taking advantage of it for party purposes.
Not sure how Guitar Hero could integrate Natal directly into the gameplay in any meaningful way, since the game is nothing without its instrument peripherals and offers nothing without them. The only thing I can think of is that they could use it to have the characters in the game mimic the actions of the player. While that could be a really cool feature, it's not really adding anything to the core gameplay. That would just be more of a nice shiny feature that I could take or leave.
Xbox 360 Elite Price Now Down To $249 For A Limited Time
Microsoft has announced that they will be offering a $50 mail-in rebate on the Xbox 360 Elite until October 5th. The Elite just recently had its price reduced to $299, so with the rebate now it's all the way down to $249. You will be able to get the rebate off of Microsoft's website
This tells me that Microsoft might be trying to curb the momentum Sony has been building in the last few weeks. It's a great deal, so if you're looking to buy a 360 I would definitely jump on this deal, but make sure you get in on it before it expires on the 5th.
New Games, Levels Headed For Xbox Live Arcade
News on Xbox Live Arcade games coming out from TGS included the official announcing of 5 new games as well as some news on extra levels for a few other games. Topping the news is word that gamers will be able to unlock some free extra levels for South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play! By visiting the website
. All it appears that you need to do is to visit the site between September 28 and October 2 and hope you can get one of the free codes to unlock the level. The game itself comes out on October 7th. Also announced was a new level for the game Joy Ride along with news about a few new game modes for the game. The highlight from that is if you get bored with some of the more traditional game modes you can ride around delivering pizza. Finally, 5 new games were announced. Toy Soldiers has the player using the little green plastic men in a strategy game, while Snoopy Ace Flying has you using the Snoopy and the rest of the gang from Peanuts to compete in various airplane based games. 0 Day Attack On Earth features the player battling aliens in aerial combat over several major cities. Bomberman Live Battlefest needs no real explanation, it's classic Bomberman action! RayStorm HD is an updated version of RayStorm with better graphics.
I'm actually a little interested in picking up the South Park game. I'm a big fan of tower defense games, and with South Park attached to it it'll probably have a decent amount of humor in it. Other than that, most of the games don't do much for me. I've never been a big Arcade game guy, I usually just prefer to use my money on full length games with a greater depth to them.
Quick Hits
Microsoft released a limited-time Halo 3:ODST theme for Xbox Live Gold members, and it's free! Get it while it lasts.
Xbox Live Arcade games Brain Challenge, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, and 3D Ultra Mini Golf have all been given discounted prices.
The Ecko brand of clothing is going to be releasing a Halo3: ODST themed hoodie, which you can see picture below. Not too bad, I suppose, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to drop that much money ($88) on a video game article of clothing that I wouldn't really want to have to explain the meaning of to some of my female friends.
Square Enix will be coming out with a new puzzle RPG game called Gyromancer for the Xbox Live Arcade.
Netflix may be looking to expand their services on consoles to the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii.
Game developer Rare is saying that a release of Goldeneye, the hit game from the N64, is unlikely for Xbox Live or any other system for that matter. I know that they made one attempt that met a lot of roadblocks and other problems, and it sounds like that effectively killed the effort.
The release date for Bioshock 2 has been released by 2k Games. The follow-up to the massive hit is set to hit shelves on February 9, 2010.
Infinity Ward developers are saying that, at present, they are not working on the inevitable Modern Warfare 3. They are saying they are not even sure what their next project will be. Perhaps we will see a futuristic FPS as was rumored before plans for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare were solidified?
The mandatory Xbox 360 system update that was released this week may have been causing some issues with signing in to Xbox Live, but those issues have now been cleared up.
Infinity Ward has announced that they will not be including a follow up to Call of Duty: World at War's popular Nazi Zombies mode. IW developers have said that they would rather keep the entire game cohesive, and that Zombies and ray guns don't seem to necessarily mesh that well with the rest of the game.
Be wary, there are hackers that are posing as Call of Duty: World at War community manager JD 2020. If you happen to get a message from anyone with that gamer tag asking for money, MS points, or personal information in exchange for some special exclusive for the game, DO NOT give it out, it is a hoax! Microsoft is currently investigating the issue.
Capcom is currently working on a director's cut edition of Resident Evil 5. I played the game a bit but never got through much of it. It will be interesting to hear what Capcom plans on adding to the game, so far there is no word on what is being worked on.
Deal of the Week
Last week I featured a deal from Target with a few different games discounted. This week, due to some time constraints, I didn't have too much time to dig around for a great deal. However, I did spot this nugget from Target that has a couple more games on sale. Street Fighter IV is now down to $27.98 while Terminator: Salvation can be had for just $34.98.
Trailer Park
The first trailer is for Left 4 Dead 2. Quality isn't the greatest as it is taken from a cam at TGS, but it's still a pretty sweet looking trailer.
