To snoop or not to snoop?
That is the question facing parents who are worried their kids may be sharing a little too much online.
So, FOX 10 investigated if it is okay to monitor kids' social media.
We live in a split-second world of send it now, worry about it later.
"So, you have a great picture that someone just took in the hot tub, and you think it would be really fun to post it," Dr. Nancy McGarrah said.
Child psychologist Dr. Nancy McGarrah said between Twitter, Tumblr, texting and Facebook,
teenagers are literally putting themselves out there for the whole world to see.
"I think parents need to say, not just, 'don't do this' but, 'let me show you what it can do to somebody'," Dr. McGarrah said.
McGarrah said the part of the teen brain that controls impulsivity is still developing, so thinking about the consequences isn't their forte.
If they're mad or sad or just have something to say, they let it rip.
"It causes a lot of problems. What you write causes problems. What you post in terms of pictures causes problems," Dr. McGarrah said.
The internship, or college of your kids' dreams, monitors social media, and they might not like what they see.
"On a much smaller basis, there's been friendships lost and relationships lost and reputations hurt," Dr. McGarrah said.
Dr. McGarrah said you can't be there 24-7 to hold your kid's hand, or smart phone.
"But you can talk to them. I think parents should talk to them about that just like they would talk to them about smoking, drinking, drugs," Dr. McGarrah said.
So, is it okay for parents to snoop?
McGarrah says many do monitor, but be up front about it.
"They need to know that at any time you can say, 'I'm going to check your history', and the child knows it. It's not a secret, it's not a spying. It's a very open communication, and it's for their protection," Dr. McGarrah said.

Are you really
I am actually so honored that you said that
yOU'RE WELCOME.
Request- Probably the first, and last gif I ever do for this blog.
They're too difficult for me .
Hey guys, I just want to let you all know that I'm going to be done with school in 2 weeks so I'll hopefully fix my laptop by then so I can draw for you guys and finally post Facing Facts. :)
I was walking alongside the Gate, hoping to find her. She hadn't been very cooperative lately. Yesterday, she'd slapped Ash, a very annoying kid who's getting very mouthy at her. Yes, I've noticed. And yes, I'm not happy about it.
I could argue that she'd had a good reason for acting impulsively. He'd taken her diary – I had no idea she kept one – and thrown it across the sea. She didn't understand why and she didn't care. All she knew was that last peace of her old life was gone. And she was furious. That, and genuinely upset.
I know she misses them very much. She'd never admit it, but I see the hurt flutter in her eyes every time Hayley and Brokee fight. Or when Maya launches herself at her Dad. Her old family. Sister and Dad. She hasn't spoken to them since we were on the run. Ten months. She doesn't show it, but poor girl had gone through hell since then.
I could point out that she isn't alone here. She has me, her biological father. She has Simon, my son. But he hasn't been very nice to her, despite having me to remind him everyday. He's better than my adopted son, who doesn't seem to give a damn about the whole situation. I don't blame them, though. They don't know, and they don't understand. Tori, puts a tough face, builds huge walls, and underneath all that she's suffering and won't let anyone in. Believe me. I've tried.
As i walked in those side walk, I spotted a girl about 5'6 with long medium-length dark hair. Tori, my daughter. She's fine. Good. I mean not good since she won't talk to me.
"Tori!" I shouted, "honey, listen to me. Please. Let's talk"
the figure turned and it wasn't Tori.
"Hi, kit." Britney, a new girl in Badger town said. "I think, I saw her run through the door." she paused, choosing her next words carefully. "she was um, crying. I think. I asked her if things were alright, and um, she ignored me. Did you say something to her?"
"no. I need to find her, okay. I'll talk to you later."
she waved goodbye as I headed for the door. I was ready for Tori to shout at me to leave her alone. Okay, that's not fair. That makes the girl sound like a brat. And she's not a brat. Tori has never shouted at me before, not even when I told her that the man she always thought was her father wasn't in fact her father and I was her real father. I hadn't had an affair with her Mother, though. She used a velto filtration because she was a crazy lady and wanted a powerful daughter. I of course hadn't told her that. She was upset either way. But she hadn't screamed or cried. She'd just told me I was wrong and stormed out of the room. Just like now. When I tried to get her to open up, she left the room. This time crying.
I walked in, expecting to see my daughter huddled up in a corner, crying and hugging her knees. Instead, i find her shoved against a wall with him on top of her. Bodies close together, and lips attached. His hands were all over her delicate body. One around her waist, and one under her shirt. Rage filled up in me. I cleared my throat, making them both part.
That's when she noticed me. Embarrassment replaced her shock expression. She quickly recovered, not meeting my glare. I looked from her to him. Pointing at door I shouted, "out, now!"
Jett Antone isn't the type to embrace orders. But now, looking at my daughter's face he swallowed back whatever snarky comment he'd been thinking of and walked away.
"Okay, young lady, what was that?"
"Look, kit. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stormed out on you. Um, and you shouldn't have seen that…" still avoiding my eyes, she added, "it was well, i… um, you should really knock before you enter."
Her and Jett weren't dating, as far as I am concerned. "Why was he here?"
"He saw me running and crying, and he was um, comforting me."
"I saw how comforting he was"
That made her flinch and I had to remind myself that even though I'm Tori's father and love her as my only daughter, she is still getting used to the idea. I keep expecting her, to shout out that it isn't non of my business. But her only response was red cheeks and avoiding eye contact.
She's fragile now. And I don't like anyone taking advantage of her. Also, I wanted to be the one to comfort her over the loss of what remained of her old life.
"How are you feeling?"
"About this? Embarrassed. About the diary? I'll be fine, eventually. Don't worry, I'm not a child. Its just that at the moment, I lost control and hit him. Seriously, can you blame me? What kind of a jackass steels your diary and throws it away? After READING it." she rolled her eyes, still nervous. "I just wish it wasn't the last thing I had from, you know…."
"I know, honey," I said, forcing a sad smile at her. I went and hugged her. Tight. And told her that its going to be okay, everything's alright and I will help her. With everything. To my surprise, she returned my hug. Which made me hold on even tighter and longer.
I kissed her forehead and let go. She was still embarrassed but she smiled.
"You and him? What's the deal?" I asked as we pulled away from each other.
"Please, kit. Im already embarrassed enough."
"I'm just making sure, he doesn't take advantage of you."
"Ie won't and I won't let him" she grinned. "I'm not a hopeless little girl. Even if I do get emotional at times." she choked on the word.
"Seriously, Tori. You're doing great. Im really proud of you. Except for the part where his hand were all over– "
"Kit! You should've knocked. This is the make out spot. I know I jus came here to get away, but he was–"
"Just comforting you?"
"No he was worried. Just like you, and started asking questions, then hugging…."
"Then making out"
she gave me a look that said i wasn't making this easy for her. "He just… I started it. He was hesitant at first, and then… I know that isn't something you wanted to witness. I hadn't even noticed it'd gone that far. I-I –"
"You don't owe me an explanation. I appreciate you giving me one. I really do. But clearly this isn't easy, so we'll just leave at that. I just hope you know what you're doing and not making yourself look easy."
she looked… I don't know. But I do know she didn't like the last part. I'd known she hadn't made herself easy for anyone. From the first time I met her. Ten months ago.
"I'm sorry, hon. I didn't mean to upset you. You know that. I am just–"
"Worried about me? I know. You don't have to. I can take care of myself."
"I know," I said, reaching for another hug. It wasn't awkward, at least not for me. She seemed very familiar and warm. I stroked her hair murmuring that she was very strong. I wouldn't have been able to handle what she's gone through at fifteen.
"Tori?" Ash's voice seemed to have been echoing. He has enhance sense of hearing which means he's heard everything. "Can I talk to you?"
Tori stepped out of my arms as Ash started to stride in. "I thought your in here with Jett."
"Umm, he left. I don't know where he is."
"I wanted to talk to you. Not him." he looked at me, as if asking me to leave. Then, it hit me. He'd stolen her diary. Read it and then thrown it in the ocean. Why? At first, I'd thought because he doesn't like her. Now, looking at him I realized it's the opposite. He's started to like her which is why he's been mean to her. This is his first time and I'm sure he's tried to ignore his feelings and failed.
"I'll leave you guys to talk." I kissed my daughter goodbye on the side of her forehead, and Ash nodded a thank you toward me.
As I left I peaked one more glance at my daughter, and realized soon she'll have a new problem to worry about.
you guys should submit fanfictions or one shots for other fans to read.

100% Stainless Steel Tea & Coffee Press Pot by Bodum
Daily Find
100% Stainless Steel Tea & Coffee Press Pot by Bodum
• $56
• Amazon
While visiting over Thanksgiving, my friend (who's a documentary filmmaker and frequent world traveler) showed me something I'd never seen before: a 100% stainless steel French press pot. She takes it with her whenever she travels. The double-walled stainless-steel construction means it's completely plastic-and-glass free and virtually indestructible.
Measures approximately 5-2/7 by 6-8/9 by 8-1/2 inches.
3 Comments
I actually picked up a large Palm Restaurant brand Coffee Press from TJ Maxx last year. It's wonderful - no glass to break, insulated, and was on clearance for $10!
I use a bodum insulated french press exclusively for coffee at home now. It really is the best.
This looks super! At the moment, I'd still love to find a nice, plastic free electric teapot....

No RX Careprost
That's the vista No RX Careprost, or view of Julio Ojeda-Zapata in his review, Vista's pretty, but it's a shameless Mac OS X imitator Bottom line. Careprost uk, He sums up Windows Vista this way:
Get a Mac with OS X unless your home-computer needs are Windows-specific, or if the fine Media Center is a must for you, 500mg Careprost. 100mg Careprost, You likely won't regret a Vista-PC purchase, but I'm betting you'll enjoy a Mac much more.
An amusing tongue-in-cheek video by David Pogue covers the same ground in a more creative fashion, Careprost japan. 50mg Careprost, I have to say that I use Windows XP at work and I really don't mind it that much. It does some things pretty well and I just recently began using my Dock like I use the Taskbar.., Careprost us. it works for me, No RX Careprost. 150mg Careprost, On the other hand, Explorer really bugs me and, Careprost mexico, 40mg Careprost, if I were to advocate a boycott or some action to pressure Microsoft, it would be to advise everyone to use some other browser like Firefox or, 250mg Careprost, Careprost overseas, for Mac users, Camino or Safari at home, Careprost coupon. 30mg Careprost, At work, where they are forced to use Explorer, 10mg Careprost, 20mg Careprost, they can access their .asp stuff on the intranet, which usually looks pretty crappy anyways, Careprost craiglist. 1000mg Careprost, But, on their own time they would be using a standards compliant browser to visit commercial and recreational sites on the web, Careprost india, Careprost ebay, sending the stats for competing, standards-friendly browsers off the charts, 200mg Careprost. Careprost australia, That should get their attention. Careprost paypal. Careprost usa. Careprost canada. 750mg Careprost.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
As a Canadian, I really, really want my moose! Heck, there was even a sign that aired during the Olympics in Vancouver that said "Ghostcrawler promised me a moose!" I mean, it aired on national television! Granted, 99% of the viewing audience had no idea what it meant, but all of us WoW players certainly did!
I still don't know why they had a special pet for the Beijing Olympics and nothing for Vancouver. :( We Canadians demand our moose!
So much for us mild, polite, Canadians, eh? ;)
Q for the Q: Do you think Blizzard will ever allow transfers from EU to US servers? My husband and I were posted to Europe years ago, so I started playing WoW on an EU server (my husband is an officer in the Canadian Forces). When we were posted back to Canada, I tried playing on the EU server, but the latency was ridiculous, and with the time difference I was never on when there were other people around. So I had to start over, from scratch, on a US realm. Would have been so much nicer and easier if I had been able to transfer. Why do you think Blizzard doesn't allow these types of transfers? It would be SO helpful for military personnel, foreign affairs personnel, etc.
(In before all the jokes about Canada having an army. :P We've sadly lost plenty of people in Afghanistan, and our NATO allies greatly appreciate our contributions on missions around the world).

Eat your poutine and pipe down. ;D
Honestly, I agree. I really wanted a moose pet for the last Olympics. I still do.
However, Canada doesn't bring the subscription numbers that China does. I'm not saying Blizzard takes this into account, in part or in whole, as a reason for doing the pets, but if it WERE the reason, the 12 Canadians (seriously, aren't there only like two dozen people up there anyway?) who play WoW might not be enough of a reason for them to pursue it.
Realistically, back when they did the pet for the Olympics, there wasn't as much going on at Blizzard. Wrath was still quite some time into the future, Diablo III was barely a twinkle in Mike Morhaime's eye, and even Starcraft 2 was just a hope for down the line. Making a pet was a pretty simple thing to fit into the mix.
Oh, and just to clarify, I love my Canadian friends, and my above comments are all said with a wink and a nod. I don't want to get the Mounties sent to scold me or something... (Mounties? You guys really ARE a rather non-threatening people, aren't you?)

@ Matt
There's more than 12. You just have to check inside those igloos.

And one of our guild officers actually works for the RCMP.
Don't be fooled by the Dudley Do-Right nonsense. They're like the CIA, but with horses. :)

Unlikely. The two systems are completely separate. I am not even aware if there are any connections between the two at all. An account made in the US region won't even work on the EU servers, and vice-versa.
The datacenters are hosted by another company. So in the US, there is one company that hosts them, and in the EU another one. I don't think they would be interested in having them connect to each other (the companies, not Blizzard.)
The account management in the EU is handled by Blizzard Europe, Blizzard probably wouldn't want to get too involved with transferring account data (as in payment data) back and forth for their records.
I'm going to relate a story that is slightly related to a Canadian army.
I was flipping through the channels and came upon a TV show about a sniper competition.
The participants were from all over: USA, Canada, England, etc. Out of all of these people (some of which were special forces and what not), ONLY the Canadian's had their faces blurred.
This led me to the conclusion that Canada not only has an army, but it is so much more badass than everyone else's army because: You've never seen them, and if you do see them, its under some persona hiding mosaic.
I mean really... how much more awesome do you need to be to warrant hiding who you are when they were practically showing Green Berets/Navy Seals with no problem?
That's interesting, Nipah. I do know that JTF2 (Canada's special forces) are very well regarded in the "special ops" world, and that photos with the JTF2 members in them ensure that the members cannot be recognized.
On a related note, it's funny - a couple of my husband's buddies are members of JTF2 and they are the sweetest guys you could ever meet. The nicest guys, very humble, very down-to-Earth. Big "softies" when not on the job. Not what most people would expect from special forces guys at all.
Quick JTF 2 (Joint Task Force) Story!
When I was on my Basic Military Qualifications (BMQ) to join the Canadian Forces, there was also a JTF 2 training session going on. My and all my recruit friends would watch in absolute awe every morning as these completely unassuming men dressed in pretty well whatever they wanted, several with long, bleach blonde hair and facial hair (obviously a big no no for the vast majority of the army) would hop into a helicopter and fly off somewhere for the day.
We eventually figured out who they were and someone even got up the courage to talk them! Again, very nice people! On our last day of course they bought our entire BMQ course Tim Horton's muffins and coffee!
So yes, our JTF2 is totally badassed and full of damn nice people to boot!

"Diablo III was barely a twinkle in Mike Morhaime's eye"
Uh, you don't know the history of Diablo 3, do you?
They have completely done prototype games and completely threw them away and started from scratch TWICE before they started on the version we have now.
StarCraft 2 had also been in development for 8 years.
They have been (and in StarCraft 2's case, had been) in development for a long, long time.
@ Nipah
Sorry mate you seem to have the wrong end of the stick. ONLY Canadians need to hide their faces, as the others are hard enough to take any Flac. Remember snipers are so rarely seen that if you do see one, its already too late. But Canadian snipers must still be learning this, hence need their faces blurred out.
Real Reason rather than the wind up above.
They blur the faces you have a chance to see in RL. The chances you are going to come accross a British sniper in the USA is nil. Its somewhat more lightly you will encounter a Canadian sniper, so they prevent his face from being shown.

Meet Your Match [Daryl Dixon] 12Alright, so this is the one I've been getting messages about, telling me to hurry up and post. So here it is! 20 rates and I'll post next chapter! I got 25 on the last one, so this can't be hard! Rates mean a lot!
My first kiss was forced, uncomfortable and quick. Being the first of my friends to be in a 'relationship', they all pushed me into things. Sure I was only in grade six, but I was pressured into that kiss, and it didn't feel right. You only get one first kiss. During lunch hour, we snuck behind the trees on the field, out of the teacher's view. My best friend gave my 'boyfriend' a shove and we bashed heads. It didn't really count as a kiss; our lips barely touched. Even still, I was the first of my friends to kiss a boy. I never thought of it as much as an accomplishment. After that, I was always worried about the first kiss, thinking it was the most important thing in determining a relationship.
There was nothing to compare this moment to. It was nothing like my first kiss, and it was nothing like my first kiss with my last boyfriend. With him it was due to casual drunkenness. We had been friends for a month or so, and we got drunk with a group of his friends. Being uncomfortable in their presence, we moved upstairs to his bedroom where more privacy would be available. Things went from one thing to another, and to be honest, I could not recall the first kiss.
With Daryl, it felt like my real first kiss. The awkward positioning, the tension between the two of us, my nerves felt shot. Our lips were only pressed against each other, but I could tell how soft his lips were, and how much more of them I wanted. The moment seemed long, but I knew it only lasted a few seconds. When Daryl leaned back, he avoided eye contact with me. Neither of us knew what to say, so we didn't speak a word to one another. Only a minute passed, but it felt like a week before Daryl started the truck back up.
Maybe he intended to go further, but since I didn't respond very much, he backed out. Or maybe he just wanted to clarify my feelings. A million possibilities ran through my head as we drove back to camp. There was still quite a drive, and I searched my brain to come up with something to say. At first I simply wanted to ask why he did that, but that was much too straightforward. We both stared straight ahead, barely breathing loud enough for the other to hear, as if we wanted to disappear. At least, I wanted to be out of his sight.
When camp was in sight, I spoke up, although I was unsure why I waited so long. "Did you just act out on impulsiveness?"
I could tell he was thinking hard about how to answer the question.
"You don't have to answer." I told him, although if he decided not to, it would eat away at me forever.
We pulled into camp and I came to the conclusion that he took my offer of not answering. My lips still tingled from where his had been. The truck shutting off made me jump, as did Daryl slamming the truck door harder than he needed to. Not wanting it to be obvious something was wrong, I stumbled out of the truck and wandered to my tent. Everyone was at a low fire, chatting quietly. I heard someone say hello to me, but I kept walking straight ahead. My tent didn't offer me enough privacy; since I knew even if I stayed there Daryl would be in the tent right next to me. However, I had lost my appetite and was in no mood to be around the group. Lying flat on my bag over my sleeping bag, I stared at the darkness of my tent. My head was spinning, and I felt a little sick.
I couldn't tell you how long I laid there, eyes wide and stomach churning, but it was long enough to hear everyone heading off to bed. The RV door slammed, tent zippers could be heard all around. I could hear Daryl grunting as he threw herself into his tent. His flashlight was showing through his tent, so I turned my head the other way. Things settled down, but I could still hear every movement Daryl made. This was either because I was paying attention to it, or my mind was playing tricks on me. Either way, I wished there was some way I could fall asleep. But I couldn't; not with Daryl so close.
When I could hear nothing, I got up and left my tent. Leaving the zipper undone, in case I decided not to do what I was about to do, I walked quickly to Daryl's tent. I was doing everything faster than normal, as if I were to slow down I would lose the impulse and go back to my tent. That would leave far too many unanswered questions. I had no way of knocking, and trying to talk to Daryl through the tent would surely wake up the others, I unzipped his tent and came face to face with his crossbow.
Sighing when he noticed it was me, although he probably preferred a walker, he put his crossbow back on the ground. I dropped to my knees and was level with Daryl now, since he was just sitting up in his sleeping bag. I felt the flame of my spontaneousness burning out, but there was still a spark. With him in such a vulnerable position, I leaned forward and let my body do what it needed. My lips needed to taste his again, and that's what they did. Our lips collided, and I shut my eyes, letting myself enjoy it this time, rather than be terrified. However, I wasn't much less scared this time. I felt a shove against my shoulder and backed off.
Daryl stared deeply at me, but I couldn't tell if he was mad or confused. Probably both. However, it was only fair that I got to cause the same emotions to him as he caused me. When Daryl had shoved me, it knocked me back into my senses, but I still didn't leave. Instead, I stared into his eyes and was unable to look away. It was obvious that if either of us spoke, it would be clear to the camp, who would likely wake up, that there was something going on between us. However, there wasn't anything going on, was there?
I asked myself the question, not entirely sure what the answer was.

Dirty little Secret4 Reviews
Like AAR said Don't tell anyone...My dirty little secret.
For two weeks that she was made to stay in bed Willow had lost her job, Jenny had 'forgotten' to take the doctors note in. She hadn't spoken to MCR once. Her mother had picked up when they phoned the once and told them that Willow was ill and was not to be disturbed. Oh and she'd been plagued with nightmares and bad dreams. She recovered well enough. The doctor was right, Tamiflu hadn't worked and she'd just had to fight it off. Willow stood up, opening her wardrobe for the first time in two weeks then wrinkled her nose and headed for the shower.
Jenny sat in her art class concentrating on her artwork. That was the one thing she was going to miss about this school. The art teacher, oh, and her friends, of course. This wasn't America. The 'emos' weren't looked down on, despised and ignored. In actual fact they were quite popular. Different six form, different life. Different boyfriend? Nah, she liked Jay well enough. And she was happy with him. She sighed, inking carefully around a symbol in gold ink with a calligraphy pen. She was proud of this piece. Surrealism with a pinch of reality. Her signature style.
Willow sighed as she glanced the clock. She didn't care whether her mother said she should take it easy she was fed up of always living at home. She needed to try and find a better paying job. And fast.
True to form Willow left her mobile at home. And it started to ring; it's plaintive noise echoing through the house.
"Frankie here. Just wondering whether you've died yet or not. Just kidding. Yeah, just wondering how you are. Talk later."
Then it rang again.
"Hey Will. It's Ray. Just wondering if you were okay. Er...missed talking to you..."
Then it rang once more, but there was no message left by the mystery caller. Then the rang once more and the name flashed up on the small screen.
Mikey mob. And once more he didn't' leave a message.
Willow walked out of the job centre hours later, sighing. She guessed it was back to asking in shops for jobs. She hated being unemployable because of a few failed exams. She hated having being ill. She hated her sister hating her. She hated her life. She wandered home, deliberately avoiding all large bodies of water. Just in case. And what Jenny had said on that first day of her having flu had stuck with her. She did have other friends. Well, another friend, it's just that she lived in America. A lot like MCR, now she came to think of it. She shook her head. Where the hell was her life headed?
As she reached home she picked up the post and put it on the table, before picking up her phone and listening to the messages. She decided to phone Frank back later. She almost dropped the phone when she heard Ray's. Then played it again. He had said he'd missed talking to her. She tried to stop herself analysing it too much. But he had said he'd missed talking to her. She checked her missed calls. Mikey. She shrugged and put the phone down before going through the post once. She'd got some air mail. Maybe it was from Beth over in America. As she read it her face froze in horror and as she finished reading it slipped through her fingers to lie on the floor.
Dear Miss Willow the last name had been smudged with water drops. Rain probably.
We regret to inform you that Miss Bethany Spurrier has died. You are invited to the funeral.
It continued listing a place and time. But Willow didn't move. Everyone who she knew was dying. What was going on? All she knew was she'd have to fly to New York for the funeral. Two weeks time. That'd give her time to sort out travel arrangements, thankfully. But while her brain was going through the practical things, she couldn't' shake of the feeling of dread of going to America. And she precisely where that dread was coming from.
From something that happened along time ago.
Something she had to face every day.
A secret that had lain buried for such a long time.
As long as it didn't come to light.
An: Hope you like. Tis kinda short. Sorry. Thanks for all the reviews and ratings!

Digital music strategist Jim Griffin has come forward with a brand new proposal in the form of a "voluntary blanket licensing' for online access to music" plan that would add a small music-royalty fee to the tuition payments U.S. universities collect from students. The success of the plan might guarantee its expansion in passing the task of collecting such fees to ISPs, thus dealing with some of the most tedious and litigious matters which usually create tensions between the music industry and its customers.
According to Wired.com this new-to-beformed independent nonprofit organization that would manage the funds from universities and ISPs and distribute them to copyright owners will be called Choruss.
The proposal is currently touring college campuses on a national scale with technology advocate Educause in close-up, and with Columbia, Stanford, University of Washington, University of Chicago, University of Colorado, MIT, University of Michigan, Cornell, Penn State, University of California at Berkeley and University of Virginia all appearing to be interested in the plan.
Supervisory body group the Electronic Freedom Foundation backs up the plan, and Warner Bros said that it is looking for options to the lawsuit-based method at the schools' request.
"Of course, we are actively engaged with universities and other parties to seek a constructive resolution to a complex issue — how to assure artists appropriate compensation while enabling the widespread dissemination of their work among fans," a Warner Music Group spokesman replied to the presentation's publication on Techdirt.
"Therefore, we are undertaking an effort to develop new voluntary business models that seek something other than — and we believe, better than — a litigation-based approach. This is exactly the type of solution that several universities and their associations have been asking for."
However, there's a catch, and an odd one as well – the scheme compels all students, whether they live off campus or not, or even whether they engage in sharing music or not, to pay an additional fee with their college tuition. The plan's motto seems to be "All students or none." It's kind of rising up the issue of fairness, doesn't it?
Yet, the most stressing problem might come from the fact that all labels, both indie and major, would be asked to shake hands in order for the 'download-what-you-want' proposal to work. This means that some copyright holders could fear this proposal may backfire in the form of heavy piracy leaning on pretexts like "I didn't know I was supposed to only download music."

Alameda County deputies have recaptured an inmate who escaped from the in Dublin on Tuesday, a sergeant said.
Alameda County sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson said Ismael Cesda was found in Fremont early Friday morning and was taken back to the Santa Rita jail.
Cesda, 21, also known as Ismael Ramirez, was discovered missing at about 11 p.m. Tuesday evening after having been brought back to the jail from court, according to Nelson.
Cesda managed to get to an area of the jail where inmates are released, but officials do not know how that happened.
Cesda, a Pleasanton resident, had been arrested in Fremont on Saturday night on suspicion of possessing a stolen vehicle and evading police, said Fremont police Detective Bill Veteran.
Cesda and five other people, including three juveniles, led Fremont police on a car chase in a Toyota Highlander that had been reported stolen by Dublin Toyota, Veteran said.
The Highlander ran into a curb near Fremont Boulevard and Thornton Avenue. All six suspects ran away from the scene, he said.
The police arrested all of them, and the three juveniles were released into the custody of adult family members. The three adults, including Ramirez, were booked into the Fremont City Jail before being transferred to the Santa Rita Jail, Veteran said.

Genital Herpes Hotline
Genital herpes hotline is setup to bridge a communication between people infected with genital herpes and the medical experts who can provide information about the current issues surrounding the disease. Genital herpes hotline is a phone number where people can reach to report cases of sexually transmitted disease and obtain any information and educational material.
Get help, get support and get educated by calling the genital herpes hotline. Service is 24 hours and it's free. Calls may be monitored to ensure quality service and it is secured. People who are hiding in their shells because they fell ashamed, intimidated and depresses should call the genital herpes hotline for help. Help is standing by anytime you need it. You can get advice, tips and support for your present condition at the comfort of your home. Genital herpes hotline is informative and has limited function. It can not advise what particular drug is good for you. You have to see a doctor and get tested to make sure that you are getting proper diagnosis.
Genital herpes hotline is not intended for self-care. Treatment for genital herpes with doctor's prescribed anti-viral education. There are several medications available, including acyclovir, famciclovir and valaciclovir to help to minimize the number of future recurrent outbreaks. Some people take them just when they have outbreaks, but others take these medicines daily as a suppressive therapy to reduce the frequency of outbreaks. Genital herpes is a viral infection, and there's no amount of cure that will totally eradicate the virus from the body.
There are types of genital herpes viruses. Some people do not know the difference between the two and generally they call it as "herpes". However, the two viruses belong to the same family but the location where they usually grow makes them different. If you look at this way HSV-1 is associated with sores on the lips or cold sores while HSV-2 appears on the genital area. Others perceive cold sore as mild, but it can infect the genital area when someone with cold sore performs an oral sex. If you are confused with these terms, you can browse through the web or call the genital herpes hotline near you.

Since reading of your misadventures a few hours ago I haven't been able to shake the image of your cats hissing at squirrels out of my mind. What type of cats do you have over there Scott? Our cats are tough here in Australia. They may hiss and spit, but thay also attack, anything that moves. Yeah we breed real tough attack cats here, coz how else are we to survive the native animals.

Well, now who hasn't had that sickened feeling in the pit of their stomachs when the realization hits them that DAMMIT! Gone and locked myself out of the #*!$ house AGAIN!! Now, understand that I live in a big house with my husband, 2 kids, my Dad and my Mother-in Law (who I shall refer to as 'Rosmary'). Too many opportunities for someone to get locked out. So I got the bright idea of obtaining a ceramic keykeeper, which looks like your basic garden ornament (mine is a dog)to keep near the back door. Underneath the keykeeper is a "secret compartment" where the housekey is kept. Brilliant! I bought this 2 years ago and haven't locked myself out yet! So the other day Rosmary is out walking Lindy, her puckered-up 13 year old Chihuahua (who barks constantly at everything, craps on my floor and who I'm plotting to euthanize at the earliest possible opportunity). But I digress! Well, Rosmary sees that the keykeeper has been knocked over and decides to walk through the lavarock and set it upright. All well and good except that Rosmary is 75 years old and can't walk straight on flat surfaces, let alone rocky ones!! As one may expect, she took a header and gashed her head open (shame she didn't fall on the dog!). I'm thinking now of getting rid of the keykeeper and just checking to make sure I always have my keys with me when I leave the house. It's too dangerous for the old folks to get to if they needed to. Maybe I'll send it to you, you sound like you might need it more than I do.

keykeepers are a bad idea anywhere you have a key lying around your property unsecured is a risk. best off creating a routine of always picking up your keys and putting them down in the same place that way your mind will be trained into you always having your keys and checking before you leave the house, trust me if you do it often enough it'll become automatic and you wont even know your doing it.

Tacit Lobbying Agreements: An Experimental Study
AbstractWe experimentally study the common wisdom that money buys political influence. In the game, one lobbyist has the opportunity to influence redistributive tax policies in her favor by transferring money to two competing candidates. The success of the lobbying investment depends on whether or not the candidates are willing to respond and able to collude on low-tax policies that do not harm their relative chances in the elections. In the experiment, we find that lobbying is never successful when the lobbyist and candidates interact just once. By contrast, it yields substantially lower redistribution in about 40% of societies with finitely-repeated encounters. However, lobbying investments are not always profitable, and profit-sharing between the lobbyist and candidates depends on prominent equity norms. Our experimental results shed new light on the complex process of buying political influence in everyday politics and help explain why only relatively few corporate firms do actually lobby.

Ok. So there's a very fine line between a muffin and a cupcake. And that line is the following:
Cupcakes are frosted.
No matter what goes into it, I'm pretty sure you can label it a muffin as long as you don't frost it. And muffins sound healthier than cupcakes so you can eat them for breakfast.
See what I did there?
Other reasons why you should eat this "muffin" for breakfast rather than dessert? 1) It has flax seed meal in it. Lots of fiber! 2) It has coffee in it for a little pick-me-up.
So I think we can all agree that these are a breakfast food and not a dessert. Right?
Mocha Muffins
- 1 Cup milk
- 1/2 Cup ground coffee
- 1/2 Cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 3/4 Cups flour
- 1/4 Cup Flax meal (optional, but up flour to 2 cups if you omit this)
- 1/2 Cup sugar
- 1/2 Cup brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Cup bittersweet chocolate, melted with a few tablespoons of milk
Helpful Equipment
1) Grind coffee finely and add to milk which should be steaming hot. Let steep for 15 minutes. Strain milk through a coffee filter.
2) To milk, add other liquid ingredients (oil, eggs, vanilla) and stir well to combine.
3) Combine all dry ingredients.
4) Melt chocolate with a few tablespoons of milk.
5) Add wet ingredients to dry and then fold in melted chocolate.
6) Butter muffin tins well so they don't stick and pour in batter so each tin is 3/4 full.
7) Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.
8) Let cool for a few minutes before eating.
Adapted from an old Bon Appétit recipe.
The Coffee Business
There's a lot of mocha or coffee recipes out there and most of them use instant espresso for the coffee flavor. I'm not a huge instant coffee fan, so I decided to try something different to get a lot of coffee flavor going. First, I ground up about 1/2 Cup of really strong coffee.
Then I added this to a little over one cup of milk which I heated in the microwave until it was steaming. I let the coffee steep in the milk for 15 minutes and stirred it a few times to really let the coffee flavor get in there.
Of course, the down-side of this approach is getting the coffee grinds out of the milk. There's no fast way to do it. The only way to do it is to set up a colander with a coffee filter in it and slowly pour the milk mixture through it. Eventually all the milk will drain through and you'll be left with some awesome coffee milk!
Once the milk is drained, mix in the other liquid ingredients (eggs, oil, vanilla).
Finishing the Batter
For a baked good, there's a good mix of dry ingredients in this recipe. You could simplify it I guess by leaving out the flax and only using one kind of sugar, but I think this recipe will leave you with a great texture and flavor.
Besides cocoa powder, it's always a good idea to melt some chocolate and add it right into the batter. You could actually just throw in some chocolate chips if you wanted more whole pieces of chocolate in the muffins.
I went with the melted version though so the chocolate flavor was evenly incorporated. You can either melt the chocolate in a metal bowl over some boiling water or in a microwave safe dish in the microwave. Either way, I've found that chocolate melts easier if you add a few tablespoons of milk to it.
When you're ready to finish the batter, stir all the wet ingredients into the dry stuff and then gently fold in the melted chocolate.
I'll be completely honest. I tasted this as-is and it tasted like cake batter.
But it's a muffin! I promise!
The thing I noticed about these muffins (after two attempts) was that they are pretty sticky. So make sure you lube up your muffin tins really well with butter (or a nonstick spray I guess).
I rubbed butter all over mine (even the top surfaces) to make sure they wouldn't stick at all.
Cooking the Muffins
Bake these beauties for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees. They should puff up and be lightly browned around the edges. Let them cool for a few minutes before trying to take them out of the pans.
These are best served right away while they are still slightly warm. The coffee flavor is there, but subtle. I was surprised that I was able to taste it at all given how much other stuff is going on in these guys – especially with the cocoa powder and chocolate.
I really loved the texture of these. Almost, well, cake-like…
Muffin or cupcake? Who knows.
All I know is they were delicious and a good excuse to have chocolate for breakfast.

CPCC Summer Theater - Monty Python's Spamalot
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical. Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and featuring a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people, Spamalot "raises silliness to an art form" (The Sunday Times)and has been hailed as a "no-holds-barred smash hit." (The New Yorker)
Created by SHarris
Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail in song, Monty Python's Spamalot features "a chorus line of legless knights, men in tights (with legs), killer rabbits and sexy dancing divas....

A really enjoyable show, lots of fun, laughter.. great songs, costumes, choreography and band music. Go see it and have a great time!
As a mother of two 20-something sons, I felt that us going to Spamalot should be a natural, historical education for them. We attended Wednesday's performance, the second night of its Eugene engagement. I wager that the house will be sold out by the weekend performances.
Act I was nostalgic as the cast reenacts scenes with favorite characters and lines that I used to chant over and over when I was a twenty-something myself years ago. And, before I became concerned that it was just a gltized-up Broadway tribute to the movie, with a sketch here and a sketch there, things change up a bit after intermission. In Act II, related and unrelated plot twists and trips down the proverbial garden path are thrown in. The "Lady of the Lake" has a killer voice. John O'Hurley from "Seinfeld" does King Arthur justice. There's silliness galore, Vegas-esque tunes, chorus girls with the best abs this side of Sin City, flying nuns and, of course, a shrubbery. Even Eugene's duck shooting U of Students are mentioned. Then, add pyrotechnics, cool special effects, a jab at Andrew Lloyd Weber -- AND a surprise award. What have you got? A great show and overall, a great romp!
Go see it and enjoy it as if you were still in your twenties, fellow Baby Boomers. Enjoy the show and cheer out loud when your favorite character comes on stage. Mine was Tim. I hope he heard me!

text: content LE Magazine March 2004 Life Extension for the BrainBy Bruce Scali Medications and HormonesThe most serious cases of memory loss require the most powerful remedies, prescribed and monitored by a physician. To complete our discussion of treatments for memory loss, we will briefly mention these prescription medications so that intelligent questions can be asked of a physician who is treating a patient for memory loss. As noted earlier concerning depression medications addressing occipital lobe serotonin deficiencies, potent prescription medications are available to address parietal lobe acetylcholine deficits.32-34 These include Aricept® and Exelon®, among others. Regardless of which is prescribed, indications and side effects should be fully explained to the patient or caregiver. Hormones, too, can be grouped into families associated with brain regions and functions. For example, testosterone, while commonly associated with sex drive, belongs to the frontal lobe/energy group. Hormones associated with the memory function include human growth hormone, vasopressin, DHEA, and pregnenolone. Hormone assessment and balancing should be included in a treatment plan for severe memory impairment. Dollars and SenseMemory decline can be identified at an early stage by tests administered in a primary care setting.35 When mild deficits are uncovered at their onset, simple remedies can be used to postpone the ravages of senility. Early testing and treatment result in a short-term increase in health care expenditures, but the long-term benefits in both dollars saved and human suffering averted are many times more significant. In 1997, 90% of the 2.3 million people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease were over 60 years of age. In the US alone, treatment of Alzheimer's costs $100 billion a year. Yet this immense figure spent on Alzheimer's care may come to seem small when the majority of baby boomers turns 65.36 Coupled with the positive economic impact that a larger number of productive older people can have, the financial ramifications of early treatment of memory decline are irrefutable. And the value of having loved ones remaining vital and connected to us longer is in itself incalculable.

Update on social cost of carbon was overdue
Some in Congress have reacted strongly to the Obama administration's recent increase of the estimated value of the "social cost of carbon." House proposals range from re-examining the process used to develop the estimate to barring the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using the figure in developing regulations.
The social cost of carbon is one of many economic tools devised by experts and regulators to better weigh the relative costs and benefits of proposed government actions.
In its most basic sense, the social cost of carbon is the estimated economic cost of the impacts caused to society by climate change. In other words, it's an attempt to estimate the costs associated with rising sea levels, more frequent and intense heat waves, and other climate-related consequences from increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Carbon capture and storage is working, but we'll need to do more
In announcing his climate action plan, President Obama highlighted a vital technology for reducing emissions: carbon capture and storage. I recently had the opportunity to tour a first-of-its-kind CCS operation at an Air Products plant in Port Arthur, Texas.
Air Products has integrated state-of-the-art CO2 capture technology into an existing hydrogen plant. Despite being the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen must be separated from other compounds, and CO2 is a byproduct of the separation process. On our tour of the Port Arthur project, we viewed the capture equipment that separates CO2 from a gas stream before compressing it for transportation via pipeline. Each year, about one million tons of CO2 will be captured and transported for underground storage, rather than being released into the atmosphere.
The project is a milestone for several reasons.
Renters can help save energy
One in three. That's how many U.S. households are occupied by renters. It is a population of 94.5 million people living in 38.8 million homes in cities, suburbs, and small towns across the country.
This growing population is taking advantage of benefits like easier mobility, minimal maintenance responsibilities, and the financial flexibility offered by renting. But if renters want to save energy – and save money in the process – there aren't many places to turn for advice and ideas tailored to their needs.
Weathering the Storm: How businesses are navigating a changing climate
More than 800 major weather-related disasters last year led to over $130 billion in losses worldwide. Eleven of those events each resulted in economic losses of $1 billion or more.
A new C2ES report, "Weathering the Storm: Building Business Resilience to Climate Change," examines how major global companies are beginning to assess and address the growing business risks associated with increased extreme weather and other impacts of climate change. Here's what we found:
Leading companies are taking proactive steps to better anticipate extreme weather and climate changes, and to more quickly recover after their effects — where they see opportunities to become more efficient, reduce costs, or provide greater value to customers. Generally speaking, these companies follow a four-step process.
Weathering the Storm: How to build business resilience to climate change
From the record-breaking Black Forest wildfire in Colorado to record-low water levels for the Great Lakes, extreme weather events seem to be more the norm of late than the exception. Earlier this month, NOAA ranked 2012 as the United States' second most costly year for damages from extreme weather events.
The increasing financial risks associated with extreme weather have not been lost on the business community. Companies have always had to navigate a changing business environment. But now they face a changing physical environment, as climate change leads to higher sea levels and more frequent and intense heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and downpours.
A new C2ES report released today, "Weathering the Storm: Building Business Resilience to Climate Change," takes a comprehensive look at how major global companies view these rising risks and what they are beginning to do to better understand and manage them.

Sleepy time for one haymaker throwing little lady. Just when you think its going your way, pow! Also the girls get some love with the addition of ring card boys, Eww!
Gawd this is all wrong..this isnt the bush league its the behind the barn league!!!
spare yourself the KO is at 7:08 :}
this is how country folk get down on a friday night, chevy trucks and chic fights!!
What a freaking joke!!! MMA's highest level!!!
how does this qualify as mma?
Best part is how the ref thought he had to tackle that girl to get her off. Rly?
She's wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt. Bah!
"This girl….she will go anywhere, anytime to fight anybody." LOLOLOL
Are they fighting on a poker table?
The knees at the end looked like they were sparring. Also, the biggest hit in that fight was the ref's shove at the end.
Betting that the p test after the fight comes back positive for both girls…positively pregnant that is. By the same guy…their uncle.
at that level…this shouldn't be allowed…
I think that the lady in pink got bored while fighting the strange looking man in black and simply decided she would just lay down, kick her feet up and relax for a minute. Not sure what all the fuss was about.

Starting off as a lowly Samurai, your task is to work your way up the social ladder to become Shogun. Some of the game's best features include: exciting duels (designed by Sid Meier), lots of branching choices (later used in Darklands to great effect), and an authentic medieval Japan setting, complete with beautiful woodcut graphics and Japanese ambient music. Gameplay is a masterful blend of action, strategy, and adventure. Similar to medieval Europe, you have a fiefdom and a number of men under your command. The difference, however, is that here you must heed Japanese concepts of honor which is quantified and is of paramount importance in the game. If you try to assassinate a rival and fail, for instance, your honor will decline precipitously, prompting your men to desert you or your bride to leave you. Lose enough honor, and you will have no choice but to commit seppuku (ritual suicide). With authentic Japanese premise, strong gameplay based on real Samurai culture, and great graphics, Sword of Samurai belongs in every strategy gamer's collection. Definitely not to be missed!

Bad news everybody!Okay so this\'ll be short, but in all likelihood, I am going to be shutting this page down. It\'s expensive (very), and I do not think it\'s needed anymore given the success of GOG.com, Abandonia, and a few others. I simply don\'thave the time to keep it up and running, nor can do I have the time to make it the kickass community that I think it needs to be. I tried to ping abandonia about taking it over, but I never got a response. if anyone else has any alternative ideas, drop me a line at admin at hotud.org and we can figure something out.

Peter and the Sword of Mercy: Starcatchers #4by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The year is 1901 — it's been twenty-three years since Peter and the Lost Boys returned from Rundoon. Since then, nobody on the island has grown a day older, and the Lost Boys continue their friendship with the Mollusk tribe, and their rivalry with Captain Hook.
Meanwhile in London, Molly has married George Darling and is raising three children: Wendy, Michael, and John. One night a visitor appears at her door; it's James, one of Peter's original Lost Boys. He is now working for Scotland Yard and suspects that the heir to England's throne, Prince Albert Edward, is under the influence of shadow creatures. These shadow creatures are determined to find a secret cache of startstuff which fell to London many centuries ago. The starstuff is hidden in an underground vault which has only one key: the Sword of Mercy, a legendary weapon kept with the Crown Jewels.
Molly is determined to help, but when she suddenly goes missing, it is up to her eleven-year-old daughter, Wendy, to keep the starstuff out of the Others' clutches. She has heard her mother's stories of a flying boy named Peter Pan, and he may be her only hope in saving the world from a shadowy doom...
