The presidential race begins in earnest over the next two weeks with the nominating conventions, and we'll get under way with the start of the GOP gathering Monday night. Unless you don't have cable, in which case you're stuck with "Hawaii Five-O."
That's right: CBS plans to air a rerun of a remake rather than a primetime speech by Mitt Romney's wife Ann. ABC is going with "Bachelor Pad" rather than remarks by tea-party favorite Rand Paul of Kentucky.
When you hear the GOP is just a bunch of old, white males, recall that NBC offered you "Stars Earn Stripes" instead of Alabama Democrat-turned-Republican Artur Davis; Senate nominee Ted Cruz of Texas; the Indian-American governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley; Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington; and Lucé Vela Fortuño, wife of Puerto Rico's governor.
Hey, at least it's a new episode.
This election is a critical inflection point for our country. Why would the networks bail on any of the nights?

"Thank God for Mitzi Szereto! Now the literary purists have someone new to go after with their pitchforks. Adding zombies to Pride and Prejudice was one thing, but SEX SEX SEX? It's sacrilege! Raunchy, hilarious, subversive sacrilege . . . which is the best kind, of course."

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
Having watched the movie adaptation, I decided to pick this book up to find out more. 'The Hunger Games' is the first book of this trilogy, and seems to be a popular hit with the general youth, but is it worth all the hype?
The Hunger Games is set in the future, where there is 12 (or 13 actually, until it's totally demolished) poorer districts set round the main Capitol. The capitol is as its name suggested: skyscrapers with rich people dressed in flamboyant, vibrant colours. This is where all the filthy rich lies, and with each further district, it gets more rural and poor. Our female protagonist Katniss Everdeen lived in district 12, the poorest of the poor and is a strong-willed survival in her hometown.
In 'commemoration' of the huge riot that happened many years prior, in which was eventually squished out by the Capitol, an annual game has been designed to let the districts remember that their struggles are futile and to always pledge their loyalty to the Capitol. The winner walks away with great rewards. The rules are simple: stay alive.
Katniss Everdeen is one of the 24 tributes in the 74th Hunger Games, stepping in as a volunteer tribute in place of her younger sister, Prim. A hunter in her home district, Katniss is great with a bow. Most of her kills were a favourite because of the precision, like hitting a squirrel square in its eye. Katniss might not have that much confidence in her skills, but she knew she had some chance — at least more than Prim, her precious younger sister that she vowed to protect at all cost.
From the same district, Peeta Mellark is the male tribute who had a certain connection with Katniss. As the baker's son, he had watched Katniss several times from afar, but never ever worked up the courage to talk to her till their selection for the bloody games. Ever since he proclaimed his love for Katniss, the duo played the 'star-crossed lover' theme, which made them a popular bet for sponsors in the games, prolonging their survival and eventually, played a part in claiming victory.
The highlight of the book is of course, the game, which is filled with its fair share of gore and unexpectedly, heartwarming moments: Katniss' dedication to Rue, her little companion, the chemistry between Katniss and Peeta and more. I think this is one portion that sets itself from Battle Royale, one of the most often mentioned comparison whenever this book is mentioned.
Having watched the movie before this, I can't help but make comparisons. Of course, the book stands out more than the movie in terms of details and making the ends meet, but to my surprise, the movie isn't too bad either. Unlike Harry Potter, I wasn't wholly unsatisfied with the amount being cut from the story (one of the reasons could be that I actually read the books first), though there are still some missing links that I would really have loved to be included. [For some of the major differences, click here]
One of them is definitely the 'dog mutation'. Recall the huge wolf-dog like animals that appeared at the end in order to end the game? In the movie, they were nothing more than genetically modified mutts that aim to…torture more than kill. In writing, they seemed to be genetically modified, mutt-versions of…the dead tributes. Now that's horrifying. Readers can almost feel the intensified fear experienced in Katniss upon the realization; imagine a duplicate of your precious sister that you came to like and protect turn into an oversized, mutant mutt that is now trying to chew your limbs off.
The second is the missing Avox girl: a mutilated servant that has had a past with Katniss. As a punishment for being a 'traitor', the anonymous girl had her tongue removed. As fate would have it, she served Katniss during her stay in the training period, and invoked many thoughts from the protagonist, most of which were guilt and anxiousness.
What I like about the movie though, is the increase in the 'behind-the-sceens' featuring. The talk of the game-maker with President, the way they snap their fingers to create things out of nothing just show how heartless the Hunger Games is. How demeaning the tributes are, and how easily they could be removed. It made me wonder how the people from the capitol (and district 1/2) are brainwashed into thinking of it as a celebratory event. That is just foolish, and sickening.
I also liked the part where they show district 11 revolting because of Rue's death and Katniss' signature goodbye and final dedication to district 11. While the riot wasn't fully discussed in book 1, I believe it would be in further books after reading the synopsis for the other two. Still, the scene was impactful and brought tears to my eyes. It also seemed to set the bait for the upcoming series for those who did not read the book, and I applaud their efforts in doing so.
Overall, the book is a relatively enjoyable read, and something to think about: is the future going to be an authoritarian society that reverts us to our barbarian nature in which the rule 'survival of the fittest' plays a big part? Where the rich-and-poor gap widens to a brand new level? In fact, the basic themes of war, advancements in technology, rich vs poor isn't that new nor far from reality; in fact, it is very real, which is probably both an attractive and yet horrifying aspect of this book.
However, the characters of the books are not as well elaborated, and there are some loose ends in the book that I hope would be tied in the series. The characters are likeable, but they just seem to lack that one factor that makes you fully attached to them. Maybe it's just me, or the fact that the book isn't targeted at audiences my age (seeing how the writing is relatively simplistic). Yet, I applaud Collins efforts in attempting to introduce horrifying yet relatively realistic concepts in a book targeted at younger audiences.
I would still read the other two books (after I've watched the movie adaptations; don't want disappointment from the lack of details…), but frankly though, it is not in my top choice of books. I'd recommend it to someone who is looking for a little thrill (and a little gore) with a more mature theme, but at the same time not looking for anything too complex.

The seal of Providence College consists of a torch superimposed on a triangle. In symbolism, the triangle represents the Trinity. Thus is signified an education which considers human existence in relation to eternity, which goes beyond the natural order and teaches the student to live according to the higher principles of supernatural grace.
The torch, always indicative of learning, is particularly emblematic of a Dominican institution since it is part of the device of one of the oldest shields of the Order. At the outset it referred to Saint Dominic himself who so magnificently conquered error by the Light of Truth, and who personally and through his followers was responsible, in no small measure, for the full flowering of the medieval universities. This tradition for learning the Friars Preachers carried to every part of the world.
The flame of the torch signifies the soul of man; the light of the flame indicates his mind. The torch is always borne aloft. The flame, therefore, towers over the surrounding symbols and typifies leadership among men.
The motto of the College is Veritas. It means Truth, which is the proper object of all intellectual activity.
The Diamond Jubilee logo depicts the long tradition of Dominican influence on the College.

Because without this it wouldn't have done what it always does every year, pass by almost completely unnoticed/cared about.
But srsly now, I do hope the achievements added some life into (what has been to this point) a completely worthless holiday. Heck, even now, since the achievements don't count towards the Meta and the Proto-Drake, it will still be considered worthless by a good chunk of the gaming populous. But maybe now we'll all actually notice it's going on this year.
The opposite is true! Since it ' s not part of the zomg-must-do achievement, those who simply like achievements or doing fun silly things like holidays can do it without being pressured by the stampeding hordes of humorless hardcore people named 'Twilight Vanquisher Nedruid' or 'Healslol the Immortal'.
The one downside to all these so far is the one achievement put in there to ensure that only 80s, or at least, wrath-enabled accounts, can complete that season's meta.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Friday was a chance for members of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Gundersen Lutheran and educational facilities in La Crosse to collaborate and share ways to expand the city's global presence.
Those attending the La Crosse Global Summit shared ways to attract international business to the city, while helping local business export products over seas.
They're also looking for ways to develop education programs focusing on foreign cultures.
"If Wisconsin's going to be successful economically, it's going to need to be training leadership. Whether it's a physician, whether it's a teacher, whether it's a person who's going to be a mechanic, they need to have these skills to understand the global economy and the global society they work in today," said Jay Lokken, director of International Education at UW-L.
Lokken said La Crosse needs to start training community leaders in education and the workforce early, so they can serve as successful ambassadors for the United States.

One of the three victims rescued after an urban avalanche in Missoula passed away, as her husband recovers in the hospital. Family friends said the couple has a lot of support and friends throughout the community. They said Michel Colville, and her husband Fred Allendorf had the type of connection you don't see often.
Three days after being rescued after her home was demolished by an avalanche, 68-year-old Michel Colville passed away from her injuries.
"She was very energetic," said her friend, Melody Anderson. "She was a very good, devoted friend, and when she had something in mind, it always got done."
Friends like Anderson, have only good things to say about Colville, and her husband, Former UM professor, Fred Allendorf.
"We were just good friends, you know, did this and that together, and went on hikes to Glacier National Park too," Anderson said.
Colville loved art, and even made clothing and jewelry.
"Everything she did had that enthusiasm," Anderson said.
Anderson said she was shocked when she found out on Saturday, her friends' home was the one destroyed by an avalanche the night before.
She said, "It just seems incredible. They're sitting just there and..."
When the avalanche hit the home, an 8-year-old neighbor boy, Phoenix Scoles, was also buried, and rescued just 45 minutes later. Three hours later Allendorf was found alive, followed by Colville.
"At the time they were searching for Fred and Michel, and we were just hoping and praying they'd be found, so it was a relief, almost a miracle I think," said UM's Associate Dean of Biological Sciences, Charlie Janson.
Both were put in critical condition, but when Allendorf's condition improved, Colville's didn't and she passed away.
"It's pretty emotional for me to think about it, and I haven't gone through what he's gone through," Janson said.
Allendorf is in serious condition. Friends said he's doing well, but is still in shock.
"He's going to miss his partner, his friend, his buddy, all of these things she was to him," Anderson said.
A fund is set up for Allendorf at Missoula Federal Credit Union. You can donate to the Allendorf Family Fund by calling the Missoula Federal Credit Union at (406) 523-3300. A Caring Bridge account is also set up to follow his progress.
The 8 year-old boy, Phoenix Scoles, was released from the hospital Sunday in good condition.

Should i cry now or later??? What does it take for directors to realize that sometimes, SOMETIMES, if you stuck by the original storyline.....probably twist the storyline by 8% so that it wouldn't be that predictable.....get some people that actually look/fit/can actually fit the part for that specific character (cuz Chris Redfield looked terrible in "Afterlife").....follow the franchise true to its nature....don't be cheesy......give a better story and not become redundant in every movie...or appeal to the gamers needs or anyone who has actually played that game that you will have both satisfaction for gamers/originators and newcomers to that series. It seems to me that Paul Anderson does not get the concept. No disrespect "Mr. Anderson", but if you wanted to do a really great job....you would have stuck to the series like it should be. I grew up with Leon S. Kennedy, first RE game was RE2 and i loved it; then played 1-5 and it seemed as if the ones with Leon were the greatest. Johann Urb.....not Leon. Johann looks too happy. Not enough mystery/bad-a$$ behind him. Get the priotrites straight MR. ANDERSON.....or suffer the consequences--aka more hateful comments and me wasting my money on you only because i am a TRUE FAN of resident evil.....anybody want go to starbucks?

I think Jovovich took all the publicity on her...she's the only source in all the recent posts i see here.

From the video, that guy looks nothing like Leon, but it's just a video. Actors/Actresses always look different off set than they do on set, I hope they made him look exactly like the -REAL- Leon character on set though.

I figured since Ada Wong was being shown that it had to have Leon...thats just the way it goes. The 2 cant seem to get away from eachother and i lvoe theri love hate relationship in the game but as i havesaid before i am done with Anderson.
The only way i will eat my words is when i start seeing the MW review masters giving this scores akin to P.A.3
Looks nothing like Leon

Moving between Welfare Payments. The Case of Sickness Insurance for the Unemployed
AbstractThis study describes the probability of transition from unemployment with unemployment insurance (UI) to sickness with sickness insurance (SI), using a grouped proportional hazard duration model and 9 years of monthly panel data. The combination of duration-limited UI and the fact that SI rights do not depend on remaining UI, creates an incentive to apply for SI, which is strongest immediately before UI expires. Estimation shows that the sickness hazard increases by around 50% when UI is about to end. Data on the sickness spells reveal that those who were given SI shortly before UI expired, are more likely to fully exploit the maximum of 12 months SI.

I don't really know how to write a good 'About Me' page. This is probably my fifth attempt since I started this blog back in 2009, and I have this slightly sneaking suspicion that this isn't going to be much better. In fact, of all five attempts, this may well turn out to be the worst.
So, as the tag-line suggests I'm an aspiring writer, neurotic and mentalist. That last one always puts people off, but I'm a mentalist in a good way – for example, I have a bit of a polite-ness tick, in that I'm always overly thankful to people in shops, and I get them caught in a thank you loop of which there is no escape until I actually leave. I'm not really sure where this came from, but when I was about 14 it got so bad that I started thanking vending machines. But this had more to do with the fact that me and my friend were really into Terminator 2 – so much so that I became convinced that machines really would take over the world one day, and until then I thought I should probably cover my bases.
Sorry, I've gone off topic. This is supposed to be an 'About Me' page but it's sounding more like
notes from my therapy sessions the beginning of my memoir or something.
Also, I'm not writing a memoir. But if I was, that thing about me being worried that robots would take over the world, would definitely be in it (take note, potential literary agents – that alone has 'Bestseller' all over it).
I'm currently writing bits and bobs all over the internet and working on a novel. While I aspire to become a full-time writer, I also hope to someday have my own Wikipedia page and to have a photo of me gazing into the distance, looking pensive and serious appear whenever you Google my name… Just like a real writer.
I'm not sure what else to say *consults notes*
Okay, all I have written down are the words 'geek', 'comfort food enthusiast' and something totally illegible that looks like 'vegetables'. I really need to sort my handwriting out.
So I'll end by saying that I am a geek who loves reading, playing video games, watching films who is frequently caught eating cold leftovers out of the fridge. Also, apparently I 'look like a vegetarian' but I'm not. At all.

"Is this possible?" is the question that Master Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Tim Feldman would ask in his Danish accent, after showing students how to lift themselves up to jump back and jump through at a workshop last weekend. It's the same question I asked myself last night at my first partner AcroYoga class.
To the students who answered that it was not possible, Tim would ask the next question. Does your mind think it is not possible or does your body think it is not possible? This is the same question that limits or unleashes your potential everyday. Thoughts become things. Take the time to notice when you stop short of your dream in anything, what is actually stopping you?
Tim Feldman would then go to any student who believed that they could not do the move and coach them through. He did not discriminate based on skill, age, ability or physique. Then after helping them to stretch their limitations, he would simply ask, "Now is this possible or impossible?" Of course, it was always possible.
Although yoga really isn't about the poses and certainly being able to jump back or up and through isn't going to affect your overall level of health and happiness, it does teach you to observe yourself and your limited belief patterns.
The important lesson is that you can do anything you want the moment you are willing to stretch your beliefs and remove the 'im' from impossible.
I had seen beautiful pictures of people doing partner AcroYoga, but it is far different than my daily Ashtanga practice. As soon as I got uncomfortable, I recognized that my mind wanted to stop. Fear creeped in. What if I fall? What if my partner falls and smashes my teeth? What if I hurt my shoulder, back, legs? Then, I asked myself, what wants to quit and is this possible or impossible?
Yoga is about stretching the mind and removing limitations. Taking the impossible and making it all possible. The most powerful sentence is simply 'I am.' Blend it together and you get I'm or I'm Possible!
This technology applies to everyday living as well. Where do you feel limited? Do believe that you don't have time for a relationship, vacation, exercise or the money for a car, boat, house or amazing Yoga & Adventure Retreat? Change your beliefs, remove your blockages and believe that all things are possible!
Being Happy Healthy and Fit means knowing that yoga stretches more than your muscles, it stretches your beliefs! The sky is the limit! Life is Short! Make Yours Magical!

At the end of June, over 350 bio-inspired teachers, designers, architects, biologists, industrialists, and policy-makers gathered at the University of Massachusetts in Boston to ask, "How can humans create conditions conducive to Life?"
Buoyed with the Conference of Parties (COP 11) to the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), Hyderabad has taken up a lot of measures to increase the City Biodiversity Index (CBI).
Hyderabad city improved its points in City Biodiversity Index (CBI) from 39 points in October 2012 to 59 points this month.
While the national government remains slow to deal with climate change, many cities have been moving ahead.
Hyderabad: It is estimated that the city has lost one-third of its green cover owing to encroachments, road widening and diverting forest lands for commercial purposes.
Today (May 22) is yet another United Nations-designated International Day for Biodiversity. Cities occupy only 2 per cent of earth's surface, but their inhabitants use up 75 per cent of the planet's resources building concrete jungles.
KOLKATA: If the term "concrete jungle" is used to describe a city burdened with ugly brick-and-steel structures, there can't be a better example than Kolkata.
On a rooftop in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, two students are collecting soil samples from boxes planted with species from two native plant communities:
We know that the planet is warming up and the human population is growing, raising our demand for resources. The combination of these factors is why the battle against climate change will be decided in cities, particularly cities in the Asia-Pacific.
BEIJING, May 13 (UPI) -- Urbanization in eastern China has a significant impact on the observed surface warming that plays an essential role in regional climate change, scientists say.
As people continue to flood into Western Australia, more and more pressure is being put on the services and facilities they expect the city to offer.
The European Union adopted a new strategy yesterday (6 May) aimed at promoting green infrastructure, and putting natural processes at the heart of its spatial planning.
"When it comes to urban planning, protecting wildlife is often overlooked – but the loss of natural ecosystems in cities poses risks to public health and the quality of life of urban citizens," says Dr Sarah Bekessy, of CEED and RMIT University. "Over half of Australia's threatened species and e ...
Nairobi, 17 April 2013 - Investing in sustainable infrastructures and resource efficient technologies in cities offers a golden opportunity to deliver economic growth with lower rates of environmental degradation, reductions in poverty, cuts in greenhouse gases, and improved well-being, accordin ...
People usually think about biodiversity and nature in terms of national parks, reserves and wildlife. Yet humans have a growing urban footprint across the planet. More than 50 per cent of Australia's threatened species and ecosystems occur within the urban fringe.
If things go as planned, a few polluted ponds in the city will soon be centres of recreation for their respective residential associations
Mar. 25, 2013 — Although it's known that construction of homes in suburban areas can have negative impacts on native plants and animals, a recent study led by University of Massachusetts Amherst ecologist Susannah Lerman suggests that well- managed residential development such as provided by hom ...
People living in cities are not being exposed to the vital bacteria they need to strengthen their immune systems, a public health specialist says.
TORONTO -- A museum exhibit featuring the corpses of thousands of birds killed while travelling Toronto's skies is meant to raise awareness of the perils facing the city's feathered residents, organizers said Thursday.
The rising level of noise in urban areas may be preventing some species of songbirds from setting up home in developed areas, a study has concluded

Increasing concretization in urban areas like Pune means you hardly see any greenery around, what with gardens and lawns making way for parking lots and additiona ...
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, scientists and officials are trying to protect the largest US city from future floods.
In the UK, whenever wildlife are seen to be posing a problem, it goes without saying that the culprits are branded as overabundant – be they badgers, grey squirrels or foxes. I cannot remember how often I have been told that foxes need to be culled because they have no natural predators.
In big cities around the world, from China to Afghanistan, authorities are still fighting the battle against smog. This, despite the fact that 60 years ago, Londoners suffered from a dramatic air pollution event.
Indonesian capital faces battle against rising water levels after urban sprawl upsets region's ecological balance
The report, 'Cities and Biodiversity Outlook', presented during COP-11 at Hyderabad describes how cities need to take part in work for biodiversity conservation.
Vacant industrial land near salt marshes and a derelict rail bridge seem like an odd setting for the beginnings of a lifestyle revolution in scenic California, but planners in the San Francisco Bay suburb of Newark view it as just that.
It's not just people that have a penchant for cigarettes. Birds living in urban environments often use cigarette butts to line their nests. Unlike in humans, the cigarettes seem to have a beneficial effect – they cut the number of parasites in the nests.
The city of Parauapebas, Brazil is booming: built over the remains of the Amazon rainforest, the metropolis has grown 75-fold in less than 25 years, from 2,000 people upwards of 150,000.
Ecologists are exploring how people, buildings, wildlife and pollution interact in the world's cities.
Understanding how biodiversity can contribute to sustainable urban development will be vital as 70% of the world's population moves into cities, an expert from the Stockholm Resilience Centre has warned.

Grasshoppers that live in noisy urban environments are having to change their song, a study has found.
NEW DELHI: The city will soon have a special committee on biodiversity for 10,000 hectares designated for the purpose.
DHAKA, Bangladesh, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, once a city of lush forests and grass fields, has suffered drastic environmental changes due to rapid urbanization, experts say.
In a report that is of great importance to urban planners, the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity has stated that by 2030 about 60 per cent of the world's population would be living in urban areas.
The world's urban areas will more than double in size by 2030, presenting an opportunity to build greener and healthier cities, a U.N. study showed on Monday.
Researchers at Arizona State University (ASU) and Purdue University have announced their new software system which enables the three-dimensional visualization of greenhouse gas emissions throughout urban landscapes. It notes where, when, and how carbon emissions are occurring.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sep 25 2012 (IPS) - You do not need to live in the countryside to grow vegetables, as hundreds of thousands of people involved in urban agriculture from Havana to Buenos Aires know very well. Now they are being joined by residents of Rio de Janeiro's "favelas".
Urbanization shapes the environment, but the way in which it does so depends on where and how cities grow.

Dalaran is to small to contain world events like Shattrath did, it would just be way to crowded. Dalaran is like what, slightly bigger than Aldor Rise? I have no idea why Blizz made such a tiny main city, it does hold back the number of things you can have going on there.

As the daughter of a Hollywood glamour obsessed momma, I've been watching the Oscars since birth. It's a religion. Plunking yourself in front of the TV starting around noon and not moving until the credits roll hours later makes perfect sense to me. Therefore I am the world's most revered, learned, brilliant authority when it comes to the Academy Awards.
Yes Angelina's leg (and skinniness) was bizarre. Sure, Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth's thing felt way off (maybe she needed her garden pizza oven as a prop). I'm not sure if Rooney Mara possesses a soul or if she's some real-life Star Trek type alien thing come to probe us all. What I do know is that becoming a thief and stealing this is something I'm seriously contemplating:
… the outfit, not the person. I also know it made me smile when Billy Crystal said this:
"Tonight, enjoy yourselves, because nothing can take the sting out of the world's economic problems like watching millionaires present each other with golden statues."
That gets the Bureaucracy for Breakfast official and very important seal of approval! Anyhoo, if you do hear of this coral Louis Vuitton dress being mysteriously stolen please don't tell anyone and just know that I am most likely hiding out in Mexico and wearing it to the local dive bars with pride!
New post is out! We give those whiny litigious Hollywood interns a talking to, and look at what it's really like to be a lowly intern in good old Hollywood. Take a peek!
Yes I feel like puking just like this half-dressed Barbie doll but… I'm getting on stage and reading from the blog tonight at Bang Studio in Hollywood at 8pm. Come on out if you're in Los Angeles and watch me (hopefully) not puke.

PESHAWAR: While the Pakistani government routinely denounces US drone strikes, locals say that a sizeable number of people in the country's tribal areas support them -- but the threat of Taliban reprisals makes them too terrified to speak out.
Pakistan's lawless tribal areas along the Afghan border have borne the brunt of the US drone campaign since 2004, with hundreds of missile strikes targeting suspected Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants.
Islamabad condemns them as a violation of sovereignty and counterproductive to efforts to combat militancy, while rights campaigners -- and the Pakistani public -- rail against them for killing civilians.
Anyone who does speak out in favour of the drones in the tribal areas runs the risk of being kidnapped, tortured and murdered by militants – their agonising last moments captured on camera. "Anybody who supports drone strikes, they will try to kill him. They will say that person is pro-American, a friend of the Jews," Gul Wali Wazir – not his real name -- from South Waziristan tribal area told AFP.
"They will cut his throat or shoot him, they will film his false confession, kill him and leave the body on the road with a DVD and a note saying that anybody who supports America and drones will face the same fate.
"I have seen a dozen such dead bodies." "US spies" are targeted by a special militant unit, the Ittehad-e-Mujahideen Khorasan, and grisly DVDs of their last moments distributed. In one seen by AFP, a young man to admits planting a bugging chip in a car in return for $200.
After a decade of the CIA-run programme, no region in the world has been hit by more strikes than Pakistan's tribal areas -- a rugged, dirt-poor region roughly the size of Belgium.
Ten days ago, one of the remote-controlled missiles eliminated the feared Hakimullah Mehsud, leader of the Pakistani Taliban.
The area is off-limits to foreign journalists and aid groups, so the precise number and identity of those killed by drones is difficult to establish with certainty.
The London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimates that between
2,528 and 3,644 people have been killed in 378 drone strikes in Pakistan, including 416-948 civilians.
A survey by the New America Foundation in 2010 found that a sizeable proportion of people -- more than one in five -- in the tribal areas backed drone strikes, and a number of experts interviewed by AFP spoke of an increasing trend to support them.
The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) became a stronghold for hundreds of Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked extremists who fled Afghanistan to regroup and launch cross-border attacks after the US-led invasion in 2001.
Tribal chiefs initially welcomed them, but since 2009 they have grown weary of the "taxes" the militants impose and the insecurity they bring, and angry at them for killing elders who opposed their presence.
Safdar Hayat Khan Dawar, former head of the Tribal Union of Journalists, from North Waziristan, the area most affected by drone strikes, said the missiles were the preferred solution to the problem of militancy.
"There are two options in FATA: a military operation or the drone strikes," he said in an interview in Peshawar. "The military option, people hate it because the army don't kill militants but civilians. So if you ask people to choose, they will choose drone attacks."
In 2009 the army carried out a major ground operation to retake control of South Waziristan from the militants, with more than 30,000 troops pouring in for an offensive.
The UN said more than 200,000 people were forced from their homes by the fighting.
"Those people who became IDPs (internally displaced) due to the military operation, those people who are victimised by the Taliban and the militants, all the families whose family members are beheaded because they were accused of spying for America -- why would they oppose drone attacks?" said Nizam Dawar, director of the Tribal Development Network.
Dawar's own family in North Waziristan recently had a visit from militants after he spoke of his support for drones.
For drone supporters, tribal leaders sheltering militants only have themselves to blame if their families are killed by the American strikes. "We think this is due to their own negligence. The responsibility lies with the people who offer these terrorists a shelter," said Arbab Mujeed ur-Rehman of the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party. "A person who is not involved in terrorist activity does not feel threatened by the drones."
In the markets of the tribal areas, militants hand out leaflets urging people to denounce "traitors" in their families, heightening the climate of suspicion in a region already awash with conspiracy theories.

Arbab Mujeed ur-Rehman of Milli Awami Party is very much correct :)Like(0) Abusive Comment(0)
It is an established fact that the drone attacks are carried out by the approval of Pakistani Government. So the Americans can not be held responsible for innocent deaths. Pakistan should stop its double standard policies.Like(6) Abusive Comment(1)
Pak army is one of the biggest agents of US & Israel (of coarse after KSA & UAE). They are appearing as Muqaddas Cow to Pakistani people, and always shout and let the government shout against drone attacks. But actually Pak Army & Pak government are slaves fed by US & Israel.Like(3) Abusive Comment(3)
And what about the civilians that got killed? Shouldn't America be held accountable for the innocent lives taken by these blasted drones? We Pakistanis don't support this violation of our sovereignty; we deserve to solve our problems ourselves. America can never be backed by a true Pakistani.Like(1) Abusive Comment(2)
What the *$%## hell!!. Pakistan claims to have one of the most experienced war veteran army in the world. It has an extremely efficient air force so what's stopping them from taking on the bandit outfits. Let it be known that the 'Allaqa Ghair' is a #$**% myth.Like(1) Abusive Comment(0)
can we attack terrorist in USA and UK with our drone aircrafts????Like(13) Abusive Comment(3)
They are just suspected peoples according to US. According to any Law in the world one should first arrest them, trail them and prove that they are guilty, then punished them. This is not fare to kill people with out listening their arguments. This is totally in Justice and against the rules of Justice. Little Inocent childrens, women, elders are mostly killed in drone attacks.Like(10) Abusive Comment(3)

Moviefone Picks 'Iron Man' as Top Film of 2008
Moviefone has ranked the 50 best movies of 2009, and it's a fairly together list, I guess. We've refrained from fully analyzing any of this year-end stuff when it comes from another source, but you can't let two of their ranked films pass by without a raised eyebrow.
You see, Moviefone has
JCVD at number 17 of 2008. That means only 16 films
were better than the Jean-Claude Van Damme flick in which he plays a version of himself as
a struggling former movie star returning home to Belgium. Don't get me wrong here. I've
heard good things about it. But is it even the best movie that takes place in Belgium this
year? It's really better than
In Bruges? That might be a stretch.
And Moviefone's top movie of the year is rather shocking. They go with
Iron Man. "It may have been overshadowed by that
other superhero movie this year," proclaims the site, "but pound-for-metal-alloy-clad-
pound, Iron Man is 2008's most unequivocal cinematic triumph."Unless you count
having one of the least impressive villains imaginable in a comic book movie, that is.
There are lots of great things about that one, but name me another out-of-the-park superhero movie
with that puny a bad guy.
I guess I shouldn't disagree too loudly; I also had
Tropic Thunder in my top ten.
Here's the top of their list to get you started:
1 - Iron Man
2 - Slumdog Millionaire
3 - The Dark Knight
4 - The Wrestler
5 - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
6 - Frost/Nixon
7 - Wall-E
8 - Man on Wire
9 - Milk

Afa is a small commune in the mountain foothills, a short drive inland from Ajaccio. It has 2,600 inhabitants and offers a relaxing base from which to enjoy the nearby beaches and attractions.
For many visitors, the beautiful Corsican beaches are the main reason to stay in a holiday rental in Afa. Sunbathing, walking, surfing, snorkeling and swimming in the clear warm waters are all part of a holiday on this beautiful island. Mountain biking can be enjoyed, particularly in the cooler months, and scenic drives will take you on a voyage of discovery exploring old towns with a unique heritage and character. Boat trips around the island's coastline are a good way to appreciate the many towers and fortresses such as the Genoese Towers which were built to defend the island in the past.
Ajaccio is the main town to visit from your Afa holiday rental for shopping, dining and nightlife. Other attractions include the 16th century cathedral and the historic houses including the house in which the French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte was born. The charming seaside town of Bonifacio has mediaeval cobbled streets, a scenic harbour and an impressive citadel. Another excellent day out, particularly for nature lovers is a visit to the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the western coast. It has hidden grottoes, sandy beaches and quiet inlets. The tallest peak on Corsica is Monte Cinto which offers trekking and rock climbing. A drive up to the hill town of Aleria is the chance to see some ancient remains of the Roman town, including the necropolis and a Roman villa.
Afa holiday rentals enjoy beautiful summer weather with temperatures reaching an average 28°C (82°F) with little or no rain. Winters are mild and remain well above freezing, averaging 14°C (57°F). The area generally has slightly more rain in the winter months. Spring and autumn are also warm and sunny, making Corsica ideal for off-peak breaks from April to early December.
The nearest airport to Afa holiday rentals is the Ajaccio Campo Dell'Oro (AJA) Airport in Corsica which is 6 km outside the city centre. It is served by many European airlines including Air France and Easyjet from London Gatwick. It is just 7 miles from Afa and it is easy to get the shuttle bus into Ajaccio or take a taxi to your Afa holiday home. Visitors will find a car is essential for exploring the surrounding area and rental car companies such as Budget, Hertz and Eurocar are all based at the airport.

The Nationwide Series finished today's race with a horrifying accident involving Kyle Larson on the final lap of the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway. Larson's car went airborne and smashed into the fence as his car was ripped to shreds and numerous other cars were damaged.
During the wreck, Larson's engine and tire went flying into the crowd.
It was a very scary scene that left drivers shaken after the race concluded.
Here is video of the accident:
Tony Stewart won the race, but the real story at the end of the race was the crash that appears to have injured numerous spectators.
Reports have been passed along that many stretchers were seen in the crowd and around twenty ambulances were on the scene. A medical helicopter has also been brought to the scene to help transport injured spectators.
We are hoping that everyone emerges from the accident and carnage of the wreck without any tragic injuries. It was certainly a scary end to the day and will set a somber tone heading in to tomorrow's Daytona 500.

I am undertaking a grand adventure in publishing. "We love the way the book feels in your hand" sort of old school style publishing.
"Print is Dead. Long live Print."
We believe a book publisher's responsibility is to foster long-term relationships between authors and audiences. A publisher's catalog should be a library of superlative quality and not a warehouse of unremarkable quantity.
We believe the book creates a legacy by offering a record of the past and by envisioning the future. We believe the death of the book is wildly exaggerated. A book is a gift passed from one hand to another, and such an offering should be cause for celebration.

Drew Friedman's latest masterpiece. Maybe W. can step in for the sequel. Visit VanityFair.com for a larger version.
That's what you would have seen if you were among the first attendees to visit our table at this year's MoCCA Art Festival. Check out our "Day 0" recap here, and read on for the full rundown on Day 1 (Saturday, June 7, 2008).
We got to the Puck Building (traditional site for the Festival) early (so very early) on Saturday morning to meet Alex and Mary from Rocketship. This year we arranged to have our books shipped to their store, and they made two trips across the river from Brooklyn to deliver everything to us at the Festival. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Alex and Mary, who were solid-gold superstars, going above and beyond the call of duty and providing us with invaluable assistance the entire weekend (not to mention loaning us a spare spinner rack). If you're in the area, get your butt over there ASAP and have yourself a spending spree -- you'll be giving your comics budget to two of the nicest folks in the business. (Plus, their store is fantastic.)
I'd never seen this magazine before (it looks like a mash-up between Grand Royal and Your Flesh), but I'm told this issue will debut at MoCCA:
WHO: Drew Friedman
"Drew Friedman isn't just a brilliant artist. He takes you to a place. He takes you back in time. He makes you smell the stale cigarettes and cold brisket and you say thank you for the pleasure." — Sarah Silverman
Join cartoonist DREW FRIEDMAN for a special exhibition of original art and objects, along with a book signing in conjunction with the release of More Old Jewish Comedians.
Drew Friedman is among the most notorious illustrators and cartoonists in America. According to Entertainment Weekly, "He holds a marvelously warped lens up to crusty politicians and debauched celebrities. A good-natured misanthrope with an obsessive style and a sardonic tongue, Drew Friedman is one of the country's sharper political artists." Friedman will appear in New York for the first time since his legendary Friar's Club Book-warming in March (as written about by Lillian Ross in The New Yorker's "Talk of the Town") for a book signing and exhibition of his original artwork on Friday, May 16 at 8:00 PM.
Friedman's illustrious career has included comics work published in Art Spiegelman's RAW, R. Crumb's Weirdo and MAD Magazine, and frequent illustrations in National Lampoon, The New York Times, The New York Observer, among countless other publications. He was the recipient of the 2001 Reuben Award for newspaper illustration (and is a nominee for the same award this year). Friedman's work has been collected by Seattle's Fantagraphics Books in The Fun Never Stops!: An Anthology of Comic Art 1991 - 2006, Old Jewish Comedians, More Old Jewish Comedians, and Warts and All.
More Old Jewish Comedians is the sequel to 2006's wildly popular Old Jewish Comedians, and has earned raves from Jerry Lewis, Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, The Believer, Entertainment Weekly and many others. The book includes the famous (Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Soupy Sales, etc.), the less-famous (Jerry Stiller, Zeppo & Gummo Marx, Larry Storch, Zero Mostel, etc.) and the largely unknown (Molly Picon, Herbie Faye, Jan Murray, etc.). The Reuben Award-winning Friedman presents a thorough visual history of the 20th Century's greatest Borscht-Belt comedians in 34 full-page, liver-spotted portraits.
A reception for the artist will begin on Friday, May 16 at 8:00PM. Admission is free to the public of all ages. The exhibition continues though June 4, 2008.
A selection of images in a variety of formats is available for publication. For additional information, contact Eric Reynolds.
The audio isn't great, but it's there. Here's the legendary Milton Berle cock joke courtesy Freddie Roman at Drew Friedman's Friar's Club event:
Flickr user lilylord has some fantastic photos of Drew Friedman taken during his visit to L.A., including the above, with Drew approving of Johnny Ryan's homage (while Glenn Bray gives a dissenting opinion).
Our pal Pam Noles attended Drew Friedman's discussion and book signing for More Old Jewish Comedians at L.A.'s Skylight books (with guests Ben Schwartz and portrait subject Carl Ballantine) on Saturday and sent us a whole bunch of photos which we've loaded up on Flickr. Read Pam's account of the event here!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great teachers, administrators and staff!! Always welcomes parent involvement and input, values each child. Wouldn't want to send my kids anywhere else.
Great school very supportive of special education as well. Our teacher sees the best in the students.
Eaton Elementary is an above average public school. The strengths lie in the front office staff and teachers. There are some excellent and very caring teachers. It is important to me that the teachers and administrators treat the students as individuals and work with their individual strengths and weaknesses. (This is the reason why I moved my student OUT of Clovis Unified and the cookie cutter mentality there.) Eaton is small enough that most of the teachers and the principal get to know all of the children at the school. They offer music (and the music teacher is one of the best I've ever seen at the elementary level). I wish that they offered art, as I think that learning about art is just as important as any of the other subjects. My student has dyslexia, which is completely ignored in the school system, requiring outside tutoring. ALL public schools "teach to the tests" in order to keep the student standardized testing scores up -- and Eaton is no different. 2013 is off to a shaky start because the principal of many years was reassigned to another school, so they started out with an interim principal and no v.p. Overall, though, I have been satisfied with Eaton.
Eaton has been an awesome expierence for my children. The principal has a vision for the kids that helps to set the parents on fire as well! There has been wonderful changes to improve in all areas, it's all about the kids!!
Great staff and wonderful Principle. She has a vision for the school and works hard to achieve it. All staff work together and are very helpful to the parents and most of all the children.
My daughter has gone to Eaton for two years .We truly love the school teachers and office staff are very friendly . They truly take the time to answer and help you with all your questions .
very impressed with this school so far!
Although there are many things I love about this school, my frustration levels has peaked. I'm tempted to take my son out of Eaton. His grades have fallen for the past several years and although I've tried to get a tutor for him, the school continues to tell me that he is on a waiting list or there is not one available. I just recieved my third notice that he is in danger of being retained but will not be. He is, however, not eligible for intervention until his grades go even lower. If I work with him at home, he understand in a short period of time so he's capable of learning. He has gone from loving school to dreading it. He's given up, thinking he's stupid when all he needs is a little extra time. No child left behind? The school has left him
The previous and current principal are very visible with the students and engages positively with them. Some of the teachers appear to be putting in minimal effort however they are fairly consistent and engage with the kids. The neighborhood appears to be declining.
This is my child's first year at Eaton and what a change. He attended kindergarten in a neighboring school district where he was bullied by other students and academic instruction was only geared toward one type of learner. Because of this he experienced problems with stress, sleep loss, and anxiety. Now that he is attending Eaton, he is a completely different child. He is very happy socially and excelling academically. We are pleased to see that Eaton is able to meet the needs of diverse learners and accepting of students with a variety of needs, interests, and learning styles.
I think this school is wonderful. I was disappointed by my daughter's kindergarten teacher (but luckily she is no longer there). First grade was unbelievable. She's a smart child and they challenged her and gave her harder work to make sure she did not get bored. Her teacher was very accommodating to her needs. This year she has yet another wonderful teacher and my son has a wonderful teacher in kindergarten. The principal is very friendly and knows parents and children by names. I love the office staff and the rest of the staff at the school. Besides that kindergarten teacher that my daughter had, I have yet to meet another teacher on that campus that I do not get along with. They have plenty of after school activities for the children as well. Two thumbs up for this school!
I have two daughters that have attended Eaton Elementary through 1st to 4th grade. The school has very dedicated teachers and my girls have done very well. Two problems however have plagued this school. The first is a fundamental lack of disciplinary policy which has undermined the teachers ability to teach. Serious infractions are often overlooked and go unpunished leading to reduced effectiveness of teachers. The second problem is a reflection of the first. Many parents in the neighborhood are selling their homes and moving to areas with better schools (Clovis, Sanger, Reedley, etc). Most parents enjoy Eaton Elementary but feel the need to provide a safer more wholesome learning environment. Parent involvement is minimal and is getting worse as most involved parents are moving or contemplating moving out of the area. Extracurricular activities are also at a minimum due to Fresno's ongoing fiscal crisis.
Administration at this school is very weak. It is time for a new principal!! (sept 2005) Teachers are good. Most are able to take the child who is below grade level to grade level by the end of the year. The child who is above grade level seems to be challenged enough by teachers. No boredom here. Lots of opportunity for involvement for parents, grandparents and community. Many activities after school for all ages of children. Overall this is a great school, just needs a leader who can take the school and staff to a higher level and that is not going to happen until a later time.
I am very disappointed with the teachers at Eaton. We have had 1 good teacher out of 8 teachers. The office staff is unfriendly, the principal does the least she can to improve the school and there is nothing about this school that says 'We're here for the kids!' I feel sorry for the children because they are missing a quality education--this can be accomplished through learning and making school fun too. Parents need to be more active in demanding that this school serve their children better. My husband and I both went to Eaton as children and we had hopes that our children could go to this school and have a great experience. As it stands, we will not be back next year but will find a school that supports the children, not the teachers. Parents--it's all about the kids and how we can better serve our future!
Eaton Elementary has terrific parental support. Although, I feel the staff just does the minimum. I do not see anyone going above and beyond to make Eaton an exciting learning enviroment. Parent/School communication is poor.
