Summer 2013 Fellow: Annelise Dillon
Faculty Mentor: Bruce Sievers, Visiting Scholar at Haas Center for Public Service
Office Description:
NESsT works to solve critical social problems in emerging market countries by developing and supporting social enterprises that strengthen civil society organizations' financial sustainability and maximize their social impact.

Office Website: http://www.nesst.org/
Projects Fellows Have Worked on in the Past:

The fellow reviewed, analyzed, and wrote reports about the applications and exercises that the Central European organizations applying had submitted. The fellow analyzed aspects of the organizations such as their financial stability and diversification, their organizational infrastructure to start an enterprise, and how a social enterprise would impact their beneficiaries
- Country profiles: NESsT has country profiles that include economic, social and political information about the country, and whether the civil society environment is conducive to NESsTs work and goals.
- Updating NESsTs legal briefs for Slovakia and Hungary: These legal briefs outline the legal environment in those countries in relation to nonprofits running social enterprises and what the situation is in regards to taxes, etc. The fellow became familiar with some useful websites including the USAID.gov NGO Sustainability Index site, the Freedom House Nations in Transit reports, and USIG.org which give legal background and tax information on a variety of countries

Kristian Valen (born 13 October 1974) is a comedian, actor, singer and songwriter originally from Stavanger, Norway. Known for comedic impressions, Valen has also pursued a serious music career; his pop music album Listen When Alone was released internationally in Europe and Asia. Valen was asked by Katherine Jackson to perform his hit song "Still Here" at the Jackson Family Foundation's Forever Michael: A Celebration of an Icon, the one year Michael Jackson memorial show held in 2010 at Beverly Hilton Hotel the home of the Golden Globes in Los Angeles. Biography: Early life: Son of Inge Valen, who played as a footballer for the team Viking FK, Valen was expected to follow in his father's footsteps to become a famous sportsman. However, Valen left the world of football when he was 16 and wound up hosting a popular radio show in his native city of Stavanger, Norway. His quick wit and popular on-air impersonations led Valen to the world of comedy. Comedy: Valen has created several extremely successful live shows, including Fartøy Valen (SS Valen), Et Musikalsk Kaos (Musical Chaos), and Raskere enn sitt eget beste (Faster than His Own Good). The shows have to date net Valen an estimated US$40 million in ticket sales. His three hit TV series Valen TV, Valen & De and Valen`s Frokost TV aired on national Norwegian broadcaster TV Norge, and topped the ratings. TV Norge. He has been voted "Entertainer of the Year" by viewers of Norway's TV2 and the "Årets TV-ansikt" ("This Year's TV-face") by the readers of magazine Se & Hør (See & Hear). All three TV series also became hit DVD releases. Valen stated he would have been happy if his first DVD Valen TV sold 5,000 copies; the DVD went on to sell well over 120,000 copies and to win the award for Best DVD overall in 2003. DVD releases of Fartøy Valen, Valen & De and Frokost TV also sold impressively and Valen's most recent DVD production (of the hit show) Raskere enn sitt eget beste sold 25,000 copies in one day. To date, Valen's DVD sales have reportedly topped 500,000 (he has released 6 DVDs). Music: Valen founded his own company Deepwater Records and recorded his debut solo album Listen When Alone in 2004. Produced by Arvid Solvang, the album went gold in five days, and went on to go platinum. The first single from the album, "Still Here" reached No. 1 on the country's biggest station NRK's P1 and the video for the single - which featured a spectacular car crash on the streets of Los Angeles - was voted No. 1 by viewers of Norwegian national broadcaster NRK's popular Swish program, and No. 3 by readers of national newspaper Dagbladet. The song was used as the theme music for the German TV series Leben für die Liebe. Another single from the album "If I Was" featured the controversial use of NATO troops. Valen's most recent single "Blessed by a Woman" was released on March 15, 2011, also by Deepwater Records. Valen has signed a worldwide music publishing contract with Air Chrysalis Scandinavia. Recent and Current Events: Valen was asked by Katherine Jackson (Michael's mother) to appear at Forever Michael: A Celebration of an Icon. The show was held to commemorate the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death. Held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills (home of the Golden Globe awards), the show also featured performances by Jackson family members Genevieve Jackson and Tito Jackson, as well as Motown legends The Chi Lites. Valen performed his song "Still Here" and also did a montage of his musical impressions for the event. Valen recently had a cognac brand named after him by the renown French company Cognac Gautier. Selection Valen Cognac V.S.O.P. is currently sold in Norway, but will also be sold throughout Scandinavia and also in selected U.S. markets.

Several hundred runners arrived throughout the day Sept. 6 at Sherman Elementary School to take part in the 41st annual Grant County Cross Country Invitational.
An open race for anyone interested began at 8 a.m., followed by the girls' varsity 5K at 9 a.m. Races followed throughout the day, culminating with elementary girls and boys.
Grant County High School senior Sydney Parker had an impressive finish in girls' varsity, placing 17th overall out of 107 girls. She finished the 3.1 mile course in just under 23 minutes.
A bad third quarter for the Grant County Braves football team squandered a hard-fought first half against a tough opponent on the road.
The Braves fell 43-14 to New Richmond, Ohio, Sept. 5 for the team's first loss of the season.
The large margin of victory for New Richmond was a complete turnaround from a first half that saw GCHS leading 7-6 at the half, despite losing senior quarterback Michael McLean to a calf injury.
A Dry Ridge man charged with double murder is out of the hospital and in jail as he awaits his day in court.
Shaun E. Hiles, 35, turned a gun on himself July 28 after he allegedly fatally shot his estranged wife, 33-year-old Nicole Hiles, and 32-year-old Larry Whiteker on Vallandingham Road in Dry Ridge.
The Grant County Boys golf team defeated Heritage Academy 160-183 to move their match record to 2-0 on the season.
Counting tournaments the Braves are 130-57-1. Medalist for the match was Jacob Vrolijk who fired a one over par 36. Cody Kellam was next with a three over 38. Kyle West put up a 41.
As students return to classes at Grant County and Williamstown schools, some graduates from the class of 2014 are beginning their journey into college life.
Three recent graduates explain how they choose what college to attend, how prepared they feel and what challenges lie ahead.
Courtney Colson, GCHS Class of 2014
Courtney Colson hopes to one day open her own bakery or maybe start a catering business.
Family and friends are frantically searching for clues for the whereabouts of a missing 54-year-old Dry Ridge man.
Kentucky State Police Trooper Joshua Giles responded to a missing person call on Randall Russ on Aug. 30 after he has not been seen or heard from in more than two weeks.
Russ, who was a part-time computer science professor at the University of Cincinnati, was last seen by neighbors on Aug. 17 at his residence on Lemon-Northcutt Road in Grant County.
Last school year, he was a substitute teacher at Grant County High School.
The Grant County Sheriff's Office has taken to the sky to help with investigations.
While it's not a helicopter or airplane, a new drone-like technology has provided beneficial evidence in recent accident reconstructions and crime scenes.
The number of unemployed in Grant County grew from 788 to 837 from June to July 2014.
While the county's unemployment rate of 6.9 percent is on the lower end of the scale in the state, job seekers still are out there.
The second annual Grant County Career Expo, sponsored by the Kentucky Career Center, hopes to help potential employees find a job.
The expo will be held from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10 at the Grant County Extension Office, 105 Baton Rouge Rd., Williamstown.
"My life stinks and it is God's fault!" I have heard this from many people over the years, maybe not in those exact words but the premise of it. I often wonder when we say that if we are just trying to blame God for us not listening to Him. If I ask a nutritionist on how to best lose some weight, then if I totally ignore everything they say, is it the nutritionist fault that I didn't lose weight?

I know it's early to discuss the draft, but I have a question regarding injured prospects. I liked the picks of
Nick: I think that's a good question especially this year. We all know Jason Garrett and this entire staff doesn't have a lot of time. So taking a player who won't be ready to contribute right away is very risky and something these coaches probably wouldn't want to do. Now, we know who has the final say in this. But I would think there won't be a ton of support to draft injured players because the mindset will be to win right now and get over the 8-8 hump.
David: In this day and age, I don't think there are too many injuries that should scare teams away if the player in question is talented enough. That said, the Cowboys have had their fair share of trouble with injury-prone players – Lee, Carter,
Why is
Nick:Because as good as he is, most kickers are right there with him. Bailey missed two of 30 kicks. The guys that made it – Prater (25 of 26) and Tucker (38 of 41) were
David: A combination of factors. First, the numbers are against him because there are only two kicker spots on the roster. Almost every other position has three or four players per team, but it's just one for kickers. Second, you typically need a little bit of name recognition to make the cut. Bailey is one of the league's best kickers, but I wouldn't say he's a household name. He had better stats than both Stephen Gostkowski and Justin Tucker, in my opinion, but Gostkowski is the longtime kicker for the playoff-contender Patriots, and Tucker had one of the season's seminal moments when he kicked a 61-yard game-winner on Monday Night Football. Bailey's time will come, I have little doubt.

Unwinding on a Working Winery in Bordeaux, France
Part boutique hotel, part working winery, Le Relais de Franc Mayne is the oenophile's B&B of choice. Ensconced in seven acres of rolling green Bordeaux vineyards near Saint-Emilion, the hotel was built in classic 16th-century Girondine style. Its nine uniquely styled rooms feature hand-picked antiques and furnishings, its cavernous cellars are packed with barrels of Saint-Emilion from the grapes grown in the château's own vineyard, and the welcoming family-run feel ensures it's a boutique hotel to return to — whether for another tasting, or for the hot pink motifs of British Landscape, or the zebra print and elephant portraits of the safari-themed African Lodge. The hotel has something for all tastes, usually served by the glass.

Enormous turtle carapace size comparison I made in the bygone era before Puentemys and Carbonemys were described. I'll get around to remaking this at some point. These specimens — measured in Straight Carapace Length (SCL) — are, left to right:
Archelon ischyros. The gray specimen has a 1.93 meter SCL (total length 3.4 m). The black specimen is ~2.5 meters in length and inferred from reports of a specimen with a total length of 4.5 meters.
Dermochelys coriacea. The gray specimen is an average-ish specimen with a SCL of 1.5 meters. The black specimen represents either a very large specimen with a 2.1 meter carapace or the extinct leatherback Psephophorus. I need a better reference for the carapace, the point at the end seems far too large.
Drazinderetes tethyensis, an Eocene softshell turtle with a 1.25 meter bony carapace (black) which may have been 2 meters long in total (gray). There are claims the extant species Pelochelys cantorii can reach similar sizes.
And finally, a mostly complete Stupendemys with a 2.18 meter long shell (gray) and an enormous specimen with a carapace 2.18 meters wide and 3.3 meters long (black). I really really want to see that specimen.

50 Cent And Birdman Gives Out Turkeys For Thanksgiving
Last modified on 2012-11-22 16:07:24 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
G-Unit's 50 Cent and Cash Money's Birdman kept the beef refrigerated this week and decided to look out for their hometowns by dishing out turkeys to the less fortunate for Thanksgiving.
According to reports, Fif teamed up with a few businesses to provide food yesterday (November 21).
On Wednesday (November 21), Fif partnered with Feeding America, the Food Network and SMS Audio to provide Thanksgiving meals for hungry New Yorkers and victims of Hurricane Sandy at the "Our Table Is Yours" event at Cipriani Restaurant in downtown Manhattan, New York. (MTV)
The G-Unit head also discussed the importance of helping his local New Yorkers.
"I'm able to provide meals for victims of Sandy or other people in New York City that don't actually have food," 50 Told MTV News. The multiplatinum rap star also uses proceeds of sales from his SK Energy Drink and SMS headphones to provide meals for those in need. "[Hunger,] it's a world issue, it's not a third-world issue," he explained before dishing out some pretty eye-opening facts. "One in six Americans are actually going hungry. You got kids that's surviving based on their school lunch and more than one out of five kids are experiencing hunger." (MTV)
The rapper's one-time music rival Birdman and other Cash Money pals got into the holiday spirit down in Louisiana.
Lil Wayne's mentor Birdman and his Cash Money co-founder Ronald "Slim" Williams really got into the holiday spirit today in New Orleans — handing out special Turkey Day care packages to people in need … and TMZ has the pics. Bryan "Birdman" Williams, Slim, and a bunch of other dudes from Cash Money Records dropped by A.L. Davis Park for the charity drive, distributing turkeys and other Thanksgiving Day essentials (like AriZona Iced Tea). We're told Lil Wayne had planned to attend as well — but was advised not to travel in his current health condition. (TMZ)
Earlier this week, New York Football Giants star wide receiver Victor Cruz helped serve food to his local hometown crowd.
On Tuesday, November 20, 2012 Campbell's Chunky soup and Victor Cruz, the face of the brand's "Mama's Boy" ad campaign, will visit Eva's Village in Cruz's hometown of Paterson, NJ, to donate more than 5,000 cans of Campbell's Chunky soup to those in need during the holiday season. With Thanksgiving around the corner, the New York Giants wide receiver wanted to make a special donation to his hometown and thank members of the Paterson community for their support over the years.

Incarcerated rapper G-Dep recently reflected on his state of mind after getting hit with a 15 years to life prison sentence earlier this year and why he initially thought nothing of the hard time.
In Dep's perspective, he already spent nearly 20 years living with the dark secret he killed a man.
The jury's decision to convict Coleman pushed both his wife and his mother to tears. But when Coleman returned to Rikers and got on the telephone, nobody could believe how he sounded. "He's like, 'Hey, how you doing, man?'?" says Jonathan "Kwame" Owusu, who was his manager. "He was upbeat. It didn't make any sense." Three weeks later, a judge sentenced him to fifteen years to life. "I was happy," Coleman recalls. "It sounds crazy to say you were happy about getting a fifteen-to-life sentence, but I was. It just seemed to me like the end of a nightmare … I was living in 1993 for seventeen years." (NY Mag)
Over the summer, reports surfaced which claimed Dep had plans to put out an autobiography in the near future.
In this passage the imprisoned MC tells a disturbing tale from his youth. One day, 10-year-old Coleman found a gun while playing with his friends near Harlem's notorious James Weldon Johnson housing projects. Dep vividly recounts the details of the exciting yet horrifying day, and of his adolescent crew's plans to cash in on the score. Moreover, he does it all in verse form. (This would definitely make an ill audio book.) (Complex)
Back in May, the incarcerated rapper discussed getting 15 years to life on a murder conviction.
G.Dep told The New York Post from Rikers, where he awaits transfer, that he felt he acted responsibly when he walked into a Harlem precinct two years ago and told police officers he shot a man in 1993. He said he wanted to clear his conscience. "Maybe at the end of serving time or after looking back, someone might feel differently," G. Dep told the paper. "But now I feel what I did was right." The rapper says his wife, who initially discouraged him from confessing, is beginning to understand why he came clean. He also told the Post he believes his daughter understands his decision — and his sons are as aware of his circumstances at they can be at just five years old. (NBC New York)
Following the news, New York producer Dame Grease hit up SOHH with his reaction.
"I know G. Dep personally," Grease told SOHH. "Even though probably after [confessing] he was sick about it, the whole confession was just a thing to clear his soul. I look at things differently, you know what I'm saying? When you see a man going through things, you can see something's weighing down on him. I guess that was the thing. I just wish him all the best of luck. He's got good fans, good friends and support for during his bid. He's a good guy, overall. Hopefully he'll get out on an early release." (SOHH)
[Audio] Shyne Speaks About Game Image "HE'S A DUDE W/ A BUTTERFLY ON HIS FACE & A TONGUE RING"
Last modified on 2012-11-17 07:45:10 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
Former Bad Boy Records artist Shyne has delved into his issues with Game and questioned just how credible the West Coast rapper's street image is this week.
Shyne specifically took note of the lack of injuries Game's rap rival 40 Glocc endured after a physical altercation last summer.
"First, every record that Game raps, it's 'Oh, I'm doing my time with Shyne. Oh, free Shyne. Oh, I'm going to smuggle Shyne out of Belize.' … So how you go from being my biggest cheerleader — to now you have this issue, that issue. … Listen, Game ain't not gangster rapper. He's a dude with a butterfly on his face and a tongue ring, that's what they said he had, he used to be a stripper. These dude's is fronting man. All that 40 Glocc, that's a joke. I don't know what part of the hood he from, but in Compton and South Central dudes ain't letting you walk away. I know they not letting you walk away in Brooklyn because if you get lucky and there ain't no gunplay, you going in a coma, you going to be brain dead, all your fronts [teeth] gonna be missing, eye sockets, broken jaw, something. What world, what culture do we live in where he let home boy walk away and everybody thinks he's a gangster." ("The Breakfast Club")
Prior to his response, Game went off on Shyne via Twitter with a slew of accusations earlier in the week.
"@originalshyne only reason u had a career is cause Diddy's d*ck being stuck in ya throat made u sound like BIGGIE !!!," Game tweeted November 13th.
"@OriginalShyne u bust the 1st shot at the ceiling like Police do in movies & sh*t.. Then yo scary a** shot into a crowd & hit a black woman."
"@OriginalShyne if that make u gangsta…. I don't wanna be 1, u fake jew, cute curly sideburn havin a** n*gga."
"@OriginalShyne suckin all that d*ck in prison… N*gga lost his voice. & that's how u survived 10 years p*ssy. Tell us the truth C*M stomach" (Game's Twitter)
A few days ago, the deported rapper released a response record called "Psalms 68 (Guns & Moses)" aimed at Game.
"This little busta named Game wanna rhyme like Po/ Cause I rhyme like gold, I rhyme like I be climbin' out that Rolls/ The Nine I'll let it blow, put five up in your clothes/ Head shots leave ya slumped, dumped, reclining at ya door, oh," Shyne spits acapella to set things off. The former Bad Boy MC goes on to charge that Game patterned his rap style after the one he came into the game with back with his 2000 self-titled debut. "Only God knows, I'm the idol that you bow too/ Realest alive, your red flag is a costume," he continues before mocking Game's new album title spitting: "Tell Jesus peace and I'ma smile at your wake." (RapFix)
The response followed Game's "Cough Up A Lung" music video freestyle diss.
"Let's address that b*tch a** n*gga going at Kendrick/Say the album's trash, n*gga you full of gas / Poke holes in you, let you fill up a New York cab / N*gga in Belize all into his feelings 'cause he did 10 years for shooting at the ceiling / Then he gave you a mil, little n*gga should have chilled / Cute curly sideburns, talkin' 'bout he real / Check my resume, any n*gga want it, I bury 'em / Butt f*ck this n*gga, he can't get into America."

Philadelphia rappers Cassidy and Meek Mill appear to be back at each other's necks, hopping on Twitter to boast about their fame and fortune.
Cassidy got Meek's blood boiling first after taking credit for paving a lane for Philly hip-hop artists.
"I been popping for over a decade! N*ggas get 1 year in and get carried away.. I paved the way for these dudes.. N*ggas is scared! That would be the easiest 100k I ever made in my life.. It's like taking candy from a baby..," Cass tweeted November 15th.
"F*ck all this tweeting and sh*t.. Put that sh*t in a rap, battle me, and get your f*cking head bit off.." (Cassidy's Twitter)
Meek proceeded to unload an army's worth of disses back at Cass.
"Why n*ggas Tryna pump Cassidy 2 battle I said I wanted him and Mook 2 battle…a battle I wanted 2 c..he gotta get poppin first 2 battle me!," Meek tweeted.
"You can't pave the way wit "come 2 my hotel" @CASSIDY_LARSINY"
"And ya swagg corny as sh*t u don't even represent Philly n*ggas right n*gga! @CASSIDY_LARSINY paced the way!"
"N*ggaz wanna battle "get a single popping and ill do it for free!"
"If n*ggas wanna get popping ill do it! Lol"
"From now on I'm not letting these n*ggas talk about sh*t in they raps they not about…I'ma start exposing y'all weirdos lol" (Meek Mill's Twitter)
Meek also questioned just how much Cass has contributed to their hometown.
"#Pause lol RT @CASSIDY_LARSINY: F*ck all this tweeting and sh*t.. Put that sh*t in a rap, battle me, and get your f*cking head bit off.."
"Truthfully I wanted 2 battle the underground n*ggas 2 bring more light 2 they sh*t cause I love what they doing ….cass just thirsty!"
"Get ya shots off now cause tomar ima drop some new sh*t and we gone forget about ya again!"
"beanie Siegel was the only n*gga out in them streets stunting still in da hood! And I just took it 2 the next level #freebmack" (Meek Mill's Twitter)
Hours after the dispute, Cassidy dropped his "Diary of a Hustla" diss record.
Now, Cassidy has taken the beef to wax, releasing a diss track titled "The Diary of a Hustla." On the song, he claims that Meek lives a lifestyle opposite of what he portrays and adds in a few low blows. "Don't believe this n*gga hustlin', this n*gga bluffin' / Look him in his eyes, the only time he cookin' pies is in the kitchen oven," he raps. "His fake a** better break fast before he get his food ate like an Egg McMuffin / He ain't the only n*gga f*ckin' that chick he cuffin." (HHDX)
Last week, Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz said he would put his money on Cass in a battle with Meek.
"I'd put my money Cass just because I'm a loyal person," Swizzy said when asked who he felt had a better shot at winning in a rap battle. "Cass is somebody that I groomed, put a lot of time into, just off of [general purpose] and loyalty, I'd put my money on Cassidy. 100 percent." (RapFix)
Days prior, Cass reacted to Meek Mill offering a $100,000 battle rap challenge.
"Well, you know, that's what I do, man. I mean, I'm cut from that cloth. I started off with battling so I'm into that but ever since I got a deal and started getting money up in this industry, it wasn't really beneficial for me to battle especially with a bunch of those dudes that are battling all the time," Cass said in an interview with radio host Q Deezy. "I know I'ma bite they head off but it's like, really, what am I going to get out of it? … Meek got that wave right now, he a household name, bigging him up — we definitely can get a nice crowd, get some crazy sponsors and get some chicken up. So it'll be beneficial for me to do something like that." (Q Deezy)
Is TLC's T-Boz Hating On Nicki Minaj, Questions Her Being A Judge On American Idol
Last modified on 2012-11-12 18:47:03 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
All I can say is stop hating on my baby Nicki, T-Boz
TLC's T-Boz has the Internet in a frenzy heading into the weekend after making some publicized dicey remarks about Young Money star Nicki Minaj recently joining "American Idol."
In a new interview, Boz questions how Minaj fits into a singing-based competition television series.
T-Boz doesn't believe in holding back with her opinions, and she recently sat down with This is Max in London to express her dismay about Nicki Minaj being an American Idol judge. "Just because you're on TV gyrating and boning and sucking p*nises, it's not talent, honey. Maybe in the porn industry, but over here, we entertain. I don't respect half [of] the people I've seen lately. How the hell is she gon' tell me what I should be doing when her azz can't even sing. Why is she there? And then…now they've got rappers that don't even sing judging? So, this is totally based off of popularity I guess. I mean, to each their own. Get your money, honey. All I'm saying is, I will never watch [your] shows again. (Miss Jia)
Despite the publicized comments, T-Boz has hopped on Twitter to clarify her true stance.
"I'm laughing at y'alI guess u told me huh lol My whole comment wasn't about chick but some of the guest appearances & not Brittney at all," she tweeted November 8th.
"& it's not a diss these shows are based on popularity & bringing in the viewers & bringing their numbers up not based on picking talent lol"
"Oh don't trip I meant what I said & there will be no take bk & chick can rap her a** off and she sounds good singing her song but 1 has"
"Nothing 2do w/ the other I'm in this bizz all this crap is fact & its based on bringing in numbers now and NOT really why it was originated"
"So get mad…scratch ya ass…take a picture I don't but Remb it I'll say what I want that doesn't mean I don't like or respect someone lol"
"I'll say what I think &always will I think it's funny the truth is the truth ha the name calling sh*t is hysterical cuz I don't wanna watch"
"I don't hv a problem w/ Nikki I don't like what the shows stand for. Where's the lil yellow bus beep beep. But if I did pls know I'd say so" (T-Boz's Twitter)
Nicki spoke on not feeling 100 percent behind joining "American Idol" on her "My Truth" E! reality series premiere a few days ago.
Speaking in her new reality show 'My Truth', Nicki revealed: 'I think Mariah met her match this time, and I don't think she was expecting to meet her match. 'I'm super nervous and anxious for the first day on 'American Idol'. I'm still second guessing my decision. I'm probably going to be a hundred times guessing this decision because I'm human. It's a big job.' The outspoken rapper was true to her word and proceeded to have a meltdown because her new stylist had misjudged her taste in clothes mere hours before the first day of auditions, and she branded all her options 'ugly'. (Monsters & Critics)
The Young Money rapper has also struck a cord with fellow panelist Mariah Carey.
"American Idol" producer Nigel Lythgoe is adamant … the bitter feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj is as real as it gets — and his proof lies in simple logic. Nigel was out in L.A. yesterday when we asked for the final word — did he or did he not stage the feud for ratings??? — and Nigel replied, "I have no idea why I would be doing it [for ratings] five months before the show went out." He added, "I would only do ANYTHING for ratings a month before the show went out. They've got my timing wrong." Translation: keep your eyes out for a crazy "Idol" ratings ploy in three months. (TMZ)
Lil Wayne interviews NFL star Randy Moss, "says this was the koolest thing ever"

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne got to play the role of interviewer recently, revealing getting the opportunity to sit down and chop it up with NFL superstar Randy Moss.
While details are still coming in, Wayne said fans can check out his one-on-one with the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver this weekend.
"Yo! I recently got to do 1 of the koolest things ever & that's interview The Great Randy Moss! have to watch @ESPNNFL #SundayNFLCountdown," Wayne tweeted Friday (November 9). (Lil Wayne's Twitter)
This week, Moss spoke on getting a chance to talk with the platinum-selling rap star.
The interview, which features the hip hop artist asking the 49ers wideout about his remarkable playing career and many other topics, airs this Sunday morning at 7 a.m. PT on ESPN's Sunday Countdown Show. On Wednesday, Moss discussed his appreciation for Wayne's involvement with ESPN and the opportunity to visit with one of the most famous musicians in the world today. "I think a lot of people listen to Lil Wayne's music over the years and for him to be able to take the music industry and mix it with professional sports, I thought it was something both sides wanted to see," Moss said. "The music world wanted to see it; the sports world wanted to see it." (49ers Blog)
Last year, Wayne revealed his favorite football team is the Green Bay Packers.
"Since this is the first show, I'll let you know from this show on, you will be able to post questions to our Facebook page or to our site or whatever," Weezy added. "You'll be able to post questions up. I'll get to those questions in some kind of way — I have my teams. I'm not sure if you can tell, but I'm a Green Bay Packers fan, I'm an LA Lakers fan, I'm a Boston Red Sox fan, I'm a Washington Capitals fan." ("Weezy's Sports Corner")
The rapper also dropped a "Green & Yellow" Green Bay Packers anthem back in 2011.
Lil Wayne is clearly a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers football team. So much so, that he's taken "Black and Yellow" — the Wiz Khalifa-helmed anthem for the Pittsburgh Steelers — and remixed it to a Packers-inspired track titled "Green and Yellow." Perfect timing for Sunday's Super Bowl Game, where the two teams will face off for the NFL championship. (Billboard)

Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em heated up the Internet this week after releasing, deleting and now apologizing over a nude self-shot photograph which landed on his Tumblr page.
After posting the explicit photo, Soulja Boy quickly deleted it and apologized to fans with a Tumblr post.
"I apologize to ever seen that, accident.," he tweeted November 6th. (Soulja Boy Tell Em's Tumblr)
Despite the deletion, his photo is still circulating online.
Oh dear boy… It seems Crank That rapper Soulja Boy doesn't quite yet understand how to use social media, as dude apparently 'accidentally' posted a picture of his penis to his Tumblr account (above)!! The self taken snap has since been taken down and Soulja has posted an apology on his Tumblr. Holy one eyed snake! It is quite an aggressive pic! It practically looks like his peen is about to poke your eye out! (Perez Hilton)
As of last summer, Soulja Boy had a very publicized romance with fellow Atlanta rapper Diamond.
"This is my girl, so we'll definitely have some music coming [out]," Soulja Boy tells VIBE with his arm wrapped around his main squeeze. While cupid may be on their side right now, TV cameras could also be coming to a Soulja Boy/Diamond bedroom sometime in the near future. "I've been getting offers from a lot of different brands," says Soulja Boy of his reluctance to star on his own reality TV show. The 21-year-old rapper says he isn't quite ready to put his private life out into the public eye but admits he is entertaining a few ideas for a cable show. (VIBE)
He also discussed how much support Diamond gets from him earlier this year.
Scrap said he has no beef with Soulja Boy, and SB is also taking the high road. "This is my baby, this is my girl, so anything said about her is basically they're saying it about me," he said, holding Diamond's hand. "I'm backin' her 100 percent, and we're just focusing on the positive. Anybody talkin' about her name on TV, that's just bringin' us up more. So salute to them, we wish them the best." (MTV)

I could make great use of an interactive camera too!!!
The way I'm making that right now is creating buttons which scale symbols and the symbols have a drag option to pan the camera, but the interactive camera would be a great solution!

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm currently working on an interactive animation that will require you to zoom in on different areas while other things are going on. Having the camera work here is great.. but I'd like to have the user be able to zoom in and out and move the camera around for a more interactive feel.

I wan't to trust his judgement but i can't see a Tarantino epic and 3D clashing well. His best movies even have that "indie, low budget" feel that 3D would destroy. Maybe a cheesy Grindhouse sequel would work in 3D.
Boston fans always want to talk about "this year" and never their teams legacy (27 championships to 6) when it comes to baseball. All of a sudden those same Bostonians(?) want to talk about super bowl rings.

When we moved in to the tiny house last August, our design plans for our edible courtyard were vast, and immediate. It would be a riot of color and flavor in no time – citrus trees ripening in the microclimate of the east-facing gabion wall, feasts of greens, herbs everywhere, scenting the air as pollinators buzzed, and my child laughing and playing, surrounded by an oversupply of butterflies attracted by the many small flowers that would be springing from every crack we could see.
I expected all this to take shape by mid spring, or early Summer at the latest. Hey, we'd lived through the build and we had moved in. What more was there to do but garden?
Well, there was life and a farm and permaculture education to run, and egg-cup dinosaurs to make, as it turned out. We hope to realise the design next winter in our quieter months. But in the meantime, bring on the glory of potted interim gardening! Never have I lived in such a happy space. Continue reading

40 Years Ago, 'Breathless' Was Hyperactive Anarchy. Now It's Part of the Canon
By DAVID STERRITT
Everything can be put into a film. Everything should be put into a film.
--Jean-Luc Godard, 1967
"Although I felt ashamed of it at one time," said Jean-Luc Godard in a 1962 interview, "I do like
very much, but now I see where it belongs -- along with
Alice in Wonderland.
I thought it was
Godard was speaking of his first major film, released in 1960 and returning to American screens this spring in a reissue on its 40th anniversary. Like countless other statements by Godard, this one teeters between the sincere and the sardonic, refusing to pin down where the filmmaker stands vis-a-vis his film.
And that, of course, is the point. "I want to restore everything, mix everything up and say everything," he remarked four years later, summing up one of his basic attitudes: Film is as unlimited as life itself, and just as resistant to categories and pigeonholes. No movie is a monolith, and a work as rich and mercurial as
may well be a fantasy and a
a mobster flick and a social critique, an occasion for shame and a cause for pride, a godchild of Howard Hawks and Lewis Carroll at one and the same time. Starting with his first feature -- the most revolutionary he ever made in terms of sheer impact on world cinema -- Godard mixed everything up with a vengeance.
Based on a scenario by Francois Truffaut, another key member of the
Nouvelle Vague,
or New Wave, filmmaking group,
is the story of a gangster and his girl. The former is Michel Poiccard, played by Jean-Paul Belmondo in the defining per formance of his career. The latter is Patricia Franchini, played by Jean Seberg in the performance that rescued her from oblivion after the failure of
Saint Joan
(1957) and
Bonjour Tristesse
(1958), the Hollywood pictures that were supposed to make her a star. Michel is a small-time thug who finds big-time trouble when he steals a car, goes for a joy ride, and kills a cop who chases him. Patricia is an American student who casts flirtatious eyes around Paris when she isn't busy hanging out with Michel, peddling newspapers on the Champs Elysees, or attending an occasional class at the Sorbonne so checks will keep arriving from her parents back home.
After its explosive start, with Michel's burst of violence and flight from capture, the movie settles into an edgy, yet oddly unhurried, ramble as he dodges the police, hunts for an accomplice who owes him the cash he needs to get out of town, and pesters Patricia for sex, sympathy, and a promise that she'll flee to Rome with him when his money comes in.
Meanwhile, the cops tighten their dragnet, making the city a gigantic trap for our increasingly nerve-jangled protagonists. All of which becomes moot when Patricia abruptly picks up the phone and betrays Michel to the police, who gun him down in the street outside the apartment where he's been hiding. His final dash toward freedom seems almost perfunctory -- by now he's fed up, played out, "at the end of breath," to translate
A bout de souffle,
the film's French title -- and he expires under Patricia's eyes, mumbling about how disgusting the whole affair has been. She gives Godard's camera a last enigmatic gaze before the movie fades to black, leaving us to wonder if love and loyalty have simply eluded this particular pair or have become irrelevant illusions, unsuited to our existentially anguished age.
takes its title partly from Michel's ultimate exhaustion, but more from the hyperactive style Godard employs to tell his story. That style, along with the formula-jolting narrative twist provided by Patricia's betrayal, is what gave the movie its extraordinary influence on a generation of filmmakers. Cinematically speaking,
represents a remarkable blend of inventive maneuvers that build upon the best of film's then-recent past while anticipating a newly freewheeling future.
Godard's fascination with motion-picture history grew from his 1950's training as an obsessive cinephile and a critic for
Cahiers du Cinema,
the French journal edited by Andre Bazin, a legendary supporter of reality-based film. Bazin's notions of mise en scene helped form the predilections and rebellions of Godard, Truffaut, and other proteges who developed the auteur theory -- calling for directors to "write" with their cameras as personally as poets write with their pens -- and later sparked the New Wave movement devoted to putting that theory into practice. Like his mentor and colleagues, Godard greatly admired the Italian neo-realists of the late 40's and early 50's, who turned away from studio artificiality and movie-star glamour in favor of naturalistic stories with authentic settings. Godard followed the neo-realists' lead, shooting his first feature in streets, apartments, offices, and cafes, making the film as much a documentary about Paris as a fiction about two (sometimes) likable losers.
Realism was only one factor in Godard's innovative equation, however. Classical Hollywood filmmaking had played down the prominence of cinema's most overt directorial aspects -- editing, camera movement, musical scoring, and so forth -- to absorb spectators in a story's emotional and psychological values. Godard rejected that approach, reveling in cinematic expression for its own sake and placing stylistic pyrotechnics at the center of the moviegoing experience. During the shooting of
the camera glided with unprecedented freedom as Godard propelled the cinematographer Raoul Coutard through the action in a wheelchair and a mail cart. During the editing, Godard spliced disparate shots and yanked out extraneous frames with an improvisatory gusto that relied -- like the behaviors of his characters -- less on rules and customs than on the unfettered impulses of the moment.
The results of his directorial revolt seemed insufferable to traditionalists, who questioned not just the worth of this proudly subversive movie, but also the competence and perhaps the sanity of the upstart who had slammed it together. Their distaste for its style was matched by their disdain for its content, and Godard added fuel to the fire by proclaiming
to be the "anarchist film" he had dreamed of directing, raising questions as to what sort of anarchism he intended to represent via such incorrigibly aimless characters.
"This rebel is far from being a leftist," complained the respected critic Georges Sadoul about what he saw as Godard's penchant for knee-jerk nonconformity at any price. "The anarchist Michel is part of the same group that writes 'Death to the Jews!' in the corridors of the subway," wrote Louis Seguin in
an anti-New Wave journal, "and makes spelling mistakes in doing so." The lack of evidence for such right-wing fanaticism (even if Michel at one point does say he "likes cops") was apparently irrelevant to its infuriated critics. Godard's scorn for what a pro-
reviewer called "the rules of film narrative" had struck a nerve -- many nerves -- and angry members of France's film establishment didn't mince words in expressing their outrage.
Others recognized the vast possibilities held out by Godard's highly original techniques, and the vigorous ways in which
mirrored the increasingly volatile tone of the transitional period when it was made. The end of the 1950's was marked on both sides of the Atlantic by a tendency to evade social and political problems (relating to war, racism, poverty) that stubbornly refused to go away. At the start of the 1960's, pressures generated by those problems were building toward a sociopolitical eruption that drastically challenged existing values. Filmmakers of the era modified their methods a bit, expanding the classical style -- more color productions, new wide-screen formats, looser censorship codes -- to shore up theatrical film against those changes and rising competition from television. But such efforts proved too timid for growing numbers of young people who questioned conventional notions of authority and propriety in art and politics alike. Artists in many fields began echoing and amplifying this trend. It's no coincidence that the jazzed-up writing of the Beat-generation authors reached a pinnacle in 1959, embodying a spur-of-the-moment literary sensibility that is uncannily close to Godard's own.
was a movie of its richly precarious time, plugging into the cultural Zeitgeist with incontestable energy.
The impact of
was augmented by Godard's position as a founding member of the New Wave group, which soared to prominence in 1959, when Truffaut's masterly drama
The 400 Blows
stormed the Cannes International Film Festival, earning its maker the Best Director prize. Truffaut became an instant superstar, and his associates -- Godard plus Jacques Rivette, Claude Chabrol, and Eric Rohmer -- were perfectly positioned to capitalize on their fame by association, since all had recently put their filmmaking careers in motion.
The timing couldn't have been better for
which appeared at just the right moment to ride the New Wave's swelling surf, yet had more than enough personality of its own to strike a truly distinctive note. Along with other signature pieces of the early New Wave -- subsequent Truffaut films, Rivette's moody
Paris Belongs to Us,
and Chabrol's peripatetic
Les Bonnes Femmes
among them -- it had a literally eye-opening effect on filmmakers in Hollywood and elsewhere, who scrambled to emulate its blend of photographic realism, stylistic exuberance, and performances perching on a razor-thin line between Brechtian self-consciousness and B-movie brio.
In the decades since its premiere,
has stood as an appropriately scruffy monument to the eminently Godardian values of aesthetic freedom, cinematic spontaneity, and profoundly personal expression. While that is entirely justified, there's a certain irony in the canonization of such a zestfully anarchic work from such a strenuously uncategorizable director. Influenced by the existentialist philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and his ilk,
takes it for granted that existence precedes essence -- i.e., human realities seem preordained but are actually mutable, unstable, and shaped by the choices we make in the moment-by-moment flow of experience. Godard directed the film in precisely that spirit, spurning the security of studio production for off-the-cuff shooting from a scenario so sketchy that Godard had to call out the dialogue to his actors as the camera rolled, dubbing in the sound of their voices after filming was over.
That's not to say that his protagonists are models of psychological self-determination. Quite the opposite. They are creatures of the sociocultural scene in which they find themselves, as Michel obliquely acknowledges late in the story when he reels off a veritable catalog of behavioral stereotypes -- "squealers squeal, burglars burgle, killers kill, lovers love" -- that describe him and his girlfriend all too well, nailing them as no more unfettered or free-spirited than the pop-culture cliches (such as the Humphrey Bogart persona Michel idolizes) that swirl through their media-saturated society. Godard's goal was to capture that society on its own exasperating-exhilarating terms, at once mirroring it, dissecting it, savoring it, and exploding it. In later films of the 60's, he did for other genres what he had done for the gangster movie here -- the political thriller in
The Little Soldier,
the musical comedy in
A Woman Is a Woman,
the war movie in
Les Carabiniers,
and the science-fiction fantasy in
He then turned to a drastic form of scorched-earth cinema, starting with films like
La Chinoise, ou Plutot a la chinoise,
which carried his increasingly radical ideas to their logical (or illogical) conclusions via heightened conflicts between sound and image, escalating attacks on capitalist ideology, and growing efforts to erase all traces of bygone cinematic traditions now perceived as forces of reactionary decadence. Since then he has remained busy in both film and video, making a partial (and eccentric) return to linear narrative in the later 70's; examining subjects related to sublimity and spirituality in the 80's; and devoting much of the 90's to an epic
Histoire(s) du cinema
video series, which explores the history of world film from his own proudly idiosyncratic perspective.
But all of that, to quote one of Godard's favorite tag lines, is another story. Friends and foes agree that
remains his most frequently watched film, his most deeply influential film, and the film that brought the most attention to the most tumultuously protean figure to emerge from European cinema in the second half of the 20th century. It hit the screen like a blast of fresh air, and has left audiences breathless ever since.

why is it that were always told not to get tattoos at a young age because we "will regret it later on" when we are basically told to choose a career path by age 18? i'd rather be 40 years old with a tattoo that meant something to me when i was young than be 40 years old not wanting to get out of bed to go to a job that i hate because i was forced to decide on a career in my teens

Look Your Best in '09: Quick Beauty Resolutions
In a style rut? Feel and look better immediately with these super-quick resolutions.
If the excitement of resolutions has already started to wane, there are some easy ways to help you look and feel your best immediately, not several months later:
1. Get a new do. Do something new the next time you go to the hairdresser -- cut bangs, try out a new color or go shorter overall. It's an instant refresher. A tip? Bring some photos of hairstyles you've seen; it will help your hairdresser get exactly what you're looking for.
2. Buy new undies. Oh come on, you know the old ones are done. It's amazing what wearing a new pair of sexy panties can do for one's self-esteem.
3. Get your eyebrows done. Let a professional shape your brows so they suit your face. It really will make you look like you got a mini facelift.
4. Switch up your beauty routine. Indulge in a new face wash and lotion -- your skin has gotten so used to the old stuff, it's probably stopped working.
5. Clean out your makeup bag. Get rid of that old clumpy mascara and lipstick and buy some new things. Go for something you normally wouldn't try, like a colored eyeshadow or bright pink lipstick.
6.Give old clothes to Goodwill. Don't wear things you don't feel good in, get rid of them. You'll feel surprisingly light with less clutter in your closet.
epic fail.
Name says it all….

Bank handed back, UTL still uncertain
GOVERNMENT| March 9, 2012, 9:25 a.m.
Uganda has ceded control of tropical Bank back to its Libyan owners, but control over Libyan-owned telco UTL remains uncertain.
Ugandan authorities took control of over USD375 million in Libyan-owned assets in Uganda last year, in line with a UN Security Council resolution on the freezing of Libyan assets.
This week, the Bank of Uganda handed back control of Tropical Bank to the Libyan Foreign Bank, which owns the majority share in the Bank.
Other Libyan-owned assets will also be returned, said Uganda's Foreign Affairs Ministry.
However, no further information has been released on the future of Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL), in which Libya also holds a majority share. The Libyan government owns 69% of UTL through its investment arm, Libya Africa Investment Portfolio (LAP Green Network).

The Baltimore Ravens don't have much depth in their wide receiver corps, but despite that, they don't seem very worried – at least not right now.
With names like Brandon Lloyd and Austin Collie available, one may think the Ravens would have some interest in boosting their wide outs but according to the Baltimore Sun, that's not the case.
Per Aaron Wilson:
The Ravens aren't planning to pursue acquiring a veteran wide receiver at this time, according to league sources.
That includes free agent wide receivers like Brandon Lloyd and Austin Collie.
The Ravens will continue to monitor the free agent market, but their primary focus is on evaluating the wide receivers currently on the roster and giving them every opportunity to prove themselves.
While the Ravens don't appear to have any interest in either Lloyd or Collie at the current moment, Wilson does make sure to add that they could have future interest if either has any trouble finding a home for the 2013 season.

After an action-packed week on safari in South Luangwa and Majete Parks, a relaxing visit to the shores of Lake Malawi was just what we needed. The pristine lake is nearly 600-kilometers long and the southern section is said to be the most exquisite with Pumulani resort claiming its best cove and cliff. The hotel is perched up the granite rock hill and tucked into the trees with views to the lake from every angle. The name means "rest well' in the local Chichewa language and that is exactly what we did (with a dash of adventure, of course).
Designed by a Dutch architect, each of the ten suites is meant to blend into the hillside and flow with the lake's landscape. The vine-covered villas were beyond spacious at up to 175-meters large, feeling more like lake house than a hotel room.
Our bedroom with its canopy bed, lake-inspired patterns, and grand lake-view terrace was done to perfection—as was the foyer, living room, master bath, and second terrace (if that gives you a better sense of the size).
Though our favorite part of the suite had to be the outdoor shower with views to Lake Malawi. Made from an old wooden boat tucked into the private garden, the shower was seductive, decadent, and playful all at once.
Meals at Pumulani were as delicious as they were eventful. Our first night we had a private dinner by the pool and then the next evening we had a fun beach BBQ with the other couples at the resort. We enjoyed the bartender's signature Malawi Gin cocktails by the bonfire then went to our romantic tables for two to feast on the our clam bake, roasted lamb, and freshly caught fish.
To get a closer look at the delectable cuisine, just look at this peach and berry cobbler. Even lunches came with dessert like this (good thing I don't have to fit into that wedding dress anymore!).
We loved that the days' activities were as relaxing or exhilarating as we wanted. Kayaking, snorkeling, dhow sails, water skiing, tubing, sunfish sailing, and all water sports imaginable could be done from the private beach, as well as the ever-important lounge-chair lazing. (To hear more about our Pumulani adventures, don't miss our next blog.)
After full day on the water, we went back to our room to freshen up before dinner only to find out our romantic meal would be served en-suite. A candle-lit table had been set on our balcony and our claw-foot bubble bath was surrounded by votives, bougainvillea, and champagne. Swoon!
If you are considering an African safari for your honeymoon, trust us, you'll need a bit of beach after the wild bush. Close to Malawi's Majete Park link and a quick flight from the legendary Serengeti and Maasai Mara, Pumulani will be just the place to relax and revel in Africa.
Much love from Lake Malawi,
Anne & Mike
Note: Pumulani invited us to be their guests; however, all opinions are our own.

easter seal
In March and April Gray seals can often be found along the Delaware coast near Cape Henlopen. With a range from Labrador in the north to New England Gray seals are occasionally seen as far south as Virginia. This one – probably a male – came ashore at the north end of Rehoboth Beach yesterday. Gray seals feed on a variety of fish and crustaceans and have been known to catch and eat seabirds.

I'd love to see one of these on the beach "in person" (and from a respectable distance since I am, basically, a chicken). But…….I know the best view is the photos you and Jay take of such beautiful creatures! Thanks for another good one.

My partner and I were blessed to be there on the beach that day, and got a few respectful feet from the seal. Some seagulls seemed to want to keep it company, too. It yawned a couple times, and rested on its right side. What a cutie. We were glad to learn that the wildlife rehab folks had been phoned, just in case it needed TLC. Glad you got to "meet" it, too!

I was at Dewey Beach on Monday evening around 5:30 pm and saw a gray seal come out of the ocean onto shore. It hung out for 5 minutes or so and then moved toward me, turned, and swam back into the ocean. It was awesome!
