this is not a poem…in fact most of alice waker's 'poems' are not poems. these do not speak to me, nor do they touch me, intrigue me or mean something. to all of you who look at these poems and believe they have some deep and revolutionary meaning, think again. all this stuff it just sounds like political nagging and complaint, and frankly its tiring me. just because she has some sort of an important name does not make her every product a piece of art. wake up people! think for yourselves for a moment, if i told you that her poems were made by a five year old you would not take it seriously right? so why act as if these are master pieces? ? they're not! i like poems, i love it when they are smart, rhyme, cute, or sad, painful, depressing or even modern poems i don't mind, but this… this is ridiculous.

Alice Walker
A Picture Story For The Curious
(You supply the pictures!)
I get to meditate
in a chair!
Or against the wall
with my legs
stretched out!
(Or even in bed!)
I get to see
maybe half
of what I'm looking at!
(This changes everything!)
I get to dance
like the tipsy old men
I adored
when I was an infant!
(They never dropped me!)
I get to spend time with myself
whenever I want!
I get to ride a bicycle
with tall
(My posture improves!)
I get to give up
learning to sail!
I get to know
I will never speak
I get to snuggle all
with my snuggler
of choice:
counting the hours
by how many times
we get up
to pee!
I get to spend time with myself
whenever I want!
I get to eat chocolate
with my salad.
Or even as a first course!
I get to forget!
I get to paint
with colors
I mix myself!
I've never seen
I get to sleep
with my dog
& pray never to outlive
my cat!
I get to play
without reading
a note!
I get to spend time with myself
whenever I want!
I get to sleep
in a
under the same
wherever I am!
I get to spend time with myself
whenever I want!
I get to laugh
at all the things
I don't know
& cannot
I get to greet
people I don't remember
as if I know them
very well.
After all, how different
can they be?
I get to grow
my entire
in a few
I get to spend time with myself
whenever I want!
I get to see
& feel
the suffering
of the whole
& to take
a nap
when I feel
like it
I get to spend time with myself
whenever I want!
I get to feel
more love
than I ever thought
Everything appears to be made
of the stuff!
I feel this
especially for You! Though I may not remember
exactly which You
you are!
How cool is this!
Still, I get to spend time with myself
whenever I want!
And that is just a taste
as the old people used to say
down in Georgia
when I was a child
of what you get
for getting old.
Reminding us, as they witnessed our curiosity about them, that no matter the losses, there's something fabulous going on at every stage of Life, something to let go of, maybe, but for darn sure, something to get!

Deal Watch: Wind power comes to rural Oregon
|| Print |
|Articles - February 2010
|Friday, January 15, 2010
THE ENERGY COMPANY behind what's being billed as the world's largest wind farm is from New York. The 338 wind turbines for the facility are coming from a Connecticut behemoth that will have them assembled in Florida. And the power from all their spinning blades will flow straight into California.
Yet it's north-central Oregon that will likely feel many of the effects of the $2 billion Shepherds Flat wind farm now that Caithness Energy has secured construction approval and placed a $1.4 billion wind turbine order with General Electric Company.

New Turkish prime minister takes office in two weeks
12 August 2014 [10:30] -
Having just voted the current incumbent into presidential office, Turkey will get a new prime minister on August 27, selected by the ruling party, Anadolu Agency reported.
On Sunday Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was elected president, meaning the Justice and Development Party, known as the AK Party, will have to select a successor for the premiership.
Party spokesman Huseyin Celik said on Monday that an extraordinary congress in two weeks will choose a new party chairman, who will assume the prime minister's office.
Erdogan will be sworn in on August 28 after overseeing the congress.
Celik said the congress is likely to select a single nominee and there would probably not be a contest between rival candidates.
Outgoing President Abdullah Gul has been mentioned as a possible prime minister but has to return to the AK Party first. Celik said: "It will be quite natural for President Gul, as one of the founders of the AK Party, to return."
Asked about the lower proportion of votes for Erdogan than predicted in presidential opinion polls, Celik added: "An opinion poll is mere an estimation with a certain margin of error and most of the opinion polls have proved to be almost true."
The election victory consolidates Erdogan's hold on power after an 11-year tenure as prime minister. He is widely expected to attempt to reinforce the powers of the presidency, which runs for five years, turning it from a ceremonial role to a more hands-on position.

Livni: Israel should not be issue in US elections
Livni on CNN 370.
(photo credit:Screenshot)
Former Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni slammed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
and presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday night
for making Israel an issue in the US presidential election.In an
interview with CNN, Christiane Amanpour asked Livni how she felt about Romney
"very clearly aligning himself with the government of prime minister
Netanyahu."Livni did not disagree and issued veiled criticism of both
men."Since Israel's establishment, relations between Israel and the
United States were bipartisan," Livni said. "This is the way it should be. The
idea of the State of Israel being part of the agenda in the elections in the
United States is wrong.The relations are not based on partisan issues
but on shared values. Israel is part of the free world led by the United States
no matter what happens in the region. This is the reason why any American
president can and should work with any Israeli prime minister and vice
versa."When Livni was asked about Romney's comparison of Israeli and
Palestinian culture, she at first resisted and said that responding would be
tantamount to interfering in the US election. (Romney, later explaining his
remarks made during his visit to Israel, wrote in the National Review, that he
had "suggested that the choices a society makes about its culture play a role in
creating prosperity, and that the significant disparity between Israeli and
Palestinian living standards was powerfully influenced by it.") Livni criticized
Romney's statements."It is also part of the reality that the
Palestinians don't have their own state now and unfortunately they have been
under an occupation since 1967 that should be ended for Israel's sake," she told
CNN.Livni is on a weeklong tour of the United States in which she is
speaking for American Friends of the IDF. She wrote on her Facebook page that
she would also be going to meetings and giving interviews.In the CNN
interview, Livni accused Netanyahu of failing to make difficult decisions
regarding the integration of the haredi community into the broader Israeli
society.When Amanpour asked if Israel was being "sold to the
ultra-Orthodox," Livni responded bluntly: "Unfortunately yes,
politically."She continued: "Unfortunately they now have more power than
they should. And in a way, the Likud Party and other parties gave them a
monopoly on the Jewishness of the State of Israel."Livni singled out the
prime minister as being particularly culpable. "Netanyahu said himself that for
him politically the ultra-Orthodox are his natural partners," she said, later
adding, "It has been proven that Netanyahu doesn't want to [alienate the
haredim] and this is going to be part of future elections in
Israel."Addressing controversy over haredi enlistment in the IDF, an
issue that caused a fracture in the ruling coalition when Kadima withdrew from
the government last month, she said the issue needs to be solved by all Zionist
parties coming together and demanding that a solution be found
immediately.Livni explained that the values of Israel are being
threatened."Politically, when you have a part of Israeli society
believing that the source of authority is not the law and the Supreme Court but
the Torah, the Halacha and the rabbis, we have a clash between the values of
democracy and what I believe are our values as a Jewish state."During
the interview, Livni spoke extensively about the need to institute a
constitution, adding this would allow Israel to reach a peace agreement with the
Palestinians and solve issues pertaining to the ultra-Orthodox
community.Turning to Syria, she said the Assad regime, which has
chemical weapons, threatens Israel."The expectation by others for us to
just look, see and watch is not acceptable," she said. "The fact that the
international community is, excuse me, quite impotent on this issue sends a very
sad and problematic message to the region."

Blog . How To Use the Curve Adjustment Layer
How To Use the Curve Adjustment Layer
11/11/13 | Posted by Leah Yochman | Posted in Digital Creativity
If you've ever taken a photo and wanted certain areas to be darker or lighter, there is an easy way to do it!
Open the photo that you would like to adjust tones for and duplicate the background layer.
Now that you have the original layer and the copy, select the copy layer to work on.
Once the copy layer has been selected, select the third icon from the top that is in the Adjustment layer box, above the layers box.
A small window will pop up and you have multiple options to choose from. For this tutorial I will be leaving the presets as is. In the middle of the small window is a box with a line going diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left. You can drag anywhere on the line to effect the curves of the picture. Drag the line up to make the photo brighter and down to make the photo darker.
Find the part of the photo you want to be brighter and pull the line up until it's to your liking. Now press the keys "Command" and "I" on the Keyboard to inverse the adjustment layer.
The adjustment layer is now inversed and looks like it is no longer in view. Go to the tool bar and select the brush tool. Make sure the color you are about to paint with is white or else it wont show up how you want it to.
Make the brush size appropriate for the area you are going to make brighter. Paint over that area. If it looks to be too bright and not blended, at the top of the screen are options for the brush. Change the "Opacity" to a lower level and that should make it look more blended. Experiment with what level of opacity will work well for the photo.
To make the photo darker drag the line down. Press the keys "Command" and "I" on the Keyboard to inverse the adjustment layer.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 to make the areas you want darker. Once you the darks and brights of the photo have the contrast you want you are finished!

Powerful photos capture the student protests in Mexico barely anyone is talking about
While the world has focused its attention on the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, there's another student movement gaining steam on the other side of the world.
The unfolding protests gripping Mexico began in the small town of Iguala, in the southwest region of Guerrero state, where the disappearance of 43 student teachers on the night of Sept. 26 has sparked outrage amid allegations of collaboration between local police and organized crime.

Museum scientists have uncovered the fossil of a 52-million-year old beetle that likely was able to live alongside ants—preying on their eggs and usurping resources from the comfort of their nest.
The Eocene fossil, named Protoclaviger trichodens, was encased in a piece of amber from India and is the oldest-known example of this kind of social parasitism, or "myrmecophily." Published today in the journal Current Biology, the research also shows that the diversification of these stealth beetles, which infiltrate ant nests around the world, correlates with the ecological rise of modern ants.

Frampton never looked in trouble as he dominated the experienced Canadian putting him down three times on his way to the win in front of a home crowd.
Molitor, who replaced European champion Kiko Martinez for the super-bantamweight clash, had been expected to provide a stern examination of the Tiger's Bay fighter, but in truth Frampton controlled the fight right from the first bell and always stayed ahead on points.
The 25-year-old refused to give Molitor any space to show his class, and scored with a knockdown at the end of the fourth round, with another to follow in the fifth.
A flurry of punches in the sixth round forced the Canadian to his knees again and it was clear he did not want to continue.
Molitor made it back to his feet but, with two minutes 21 seconds of the round gone, the referee called the contest off.
The victory takes Frampton's undefeated streak to 15 fights, and puts him in line for a possible shot at the world title in 2013 - with Crusaders' Seaview football ground mooted as a potential venue.
This guy is a fabulous young fighter. We intend to map it out and work towards a world title fight.Manager Barry McGuigan
This guy is a fabulous young fighter. We intend to map it out and work towards a world title fight.
Manager Barry McGuigan
Barry McGuigan's protégé, who put his victory down to his preparation, promised the crowd he planned to have more fights on home soil.
"I want as many fights here in Belfast as possible," the Jackal said. "The crowd was amazing. I'm not far from a world title. I will fight anyone."
Analysing his easy win, the undefeated fighter said: "I think it's just all down to hard work. We trained really hard for this fight and we had to because Steve Molitor is a world class operator.
"I know I can hit hard - I've just got to land the shots. I didn't think he liked the pace that much - that's why I pushed so hard. I made him miss quite a lot (of punches)," he added.
"You're going to get people saying, you know they were saying, it was a step too far for Frampton but hopefully they'll not now say Molitor was finished because I don't think he was, I think I just did a good job on him.
"I was just on him the whole time - that was it really."
McGuigan said: "Steve Molitor is not a world champion two times over for no reason," he said. "He (Frampton) just ground him down and eventually he nailed him."
"He broke the guy down, and there's no doubt in my mind if he'd have got up he'd got knocked unconscious but he didn't want to continue he knew that those punches were really hurting him," McGuigan added.
"It was a great performance, he's not the finished article, you know we've got work to do and we've got fights to have before he fights for the big goal which is the world title."
Elsewhere Dungiven light-welterweight Paul McCloskey revived his own world title hopes with a morale-boosting points victory over durable American Manuel Perez.
McCloskey controlled the colorado-based fighter right from the opening bell and came close to stopping the contest with a superb flurry at the end of the ninth round, but Perez held on to ensure the fight went the distance.

3 Financial Wisdoms Gained from Getting My Car Broken Into
A few days ago my car got broken into – someone smashed my car window and took stuff (1 box and a backpack) that belonged to a friend of mine. They would've taken lots more stuff but I caught them in the act and ended up wrestling with one of them in the middle of the street and took back the box he was running away with. I guess I was having a Jackie Chan moment (LOL). I'm fine, not at all traumatized by the whole experience.

How to Create Abundance by Changing Our Feelings About Money
I've been in some physical pain this past week, mainly because I did a 3 peaks challenge in Cape Town, where I climbed 2.5 mountains in one day.

But I'm glad I did it because at least now I know my potential as a hiker. Taking the first step to anything is always difficult. The hike reminded me a lot about my journey to...read more
Should You Pay Back Debt Or Focus On Saving?
I'll be making my last ever student loan payment in a few hours. It's been one of the hardest decisions I've had to make – focus on saving or paying off debt? I started off doing a bit of both but in the last few months, I changed my strategy and focused on paying off all debts and have used almost all my savings to do this. Why? Because my student loans are in US Dollars and I earn in South African Rands and in the last 9 months, the rand has depreciated significantly against the Dollar, making my debts even more expensive.

Stars shine at Dine in the Dark
DINE IN THE DARK -- The CNIB's experiential bash at Assiniboia Downs on Sept. 13 brought out local politicians, celebs and business people to wear blindfolds during the entire dinner.
Tracy Garbutt, who teaches independent living skills, gave the giggling crowd tips on how to hang on to their dinners while wearing goggle-like "occluders" that exclude all light. Entertainer Fred Penner gamely performed his first act blindfolded and did The Cat Came Back at the end of the night for all the "kids."
Spotted: Sight-challenged Christine Bonnet, a humorous Rotarian who sometimes performs marriages (motto: "Love is blind"), as well as CJOB's Hal Anderson and his lovely bride Jackie. She insists they are NOT getting chickens on their new acreage. Lt.-Gov. Phillip Lee's daughters Malinda and Maggie Lee attended in place of their dad, who was off in China with Premier Greg Selinger on a trade mission.
Politicos enjoying the new experience included Lawrence Toet, Sharon Blady, Thomas Steen, Russ Wyatt and Brian Mayes. Also on the scene were Curtis and Debbie Wyatt of Wyatt Dowling, lawyer Greg Brodsky, police Chief Keith McCaskill, former police chief Herb Stephen and Bob Brennan, the recently retired head of Manitoba Hydro.

VROOM! VROOM! Derek Pollock, owner of Rental Racecars, says more than 70 Winnipeggers tried out car racing in his three wildly emblazoned rentals at Red River Co-op Speedway this summer season.
"If I had six cars, I could have booked them solid," he says. "I've had drivers from 18 to 70 years old -- five of them women -- and had to turn about 20 people away."
Actual racing in a rental race car isn't cheap at $350 a pop, but for the guy or gal who has everything...
"Most racers were white-collar guys, usually business owners with disposable income who can buy what they want," Pollock says. "In many cases, the races were bought as surprise gifts by their spouses."
Because there are no more races with spaces, Pollock is offering an unusual event Sept. 29 at Red River Co-op Speedway. It won't be a real race, but it will be a chance for 20 wannabe race-car drivers to put the pedal to the metal at 10 laps for $100 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Email email@example.com or call 204-781-8837 for information.
"I had one fellow, Greg Hore, who's 51 and a financial consultant for Investors Group, who rented a race car every Monday for 10 weeks -- he did the whole season. He bought his own helmet and suit, and came one point from winning Rookie of the Year."
Nine people have tried the rental race cars and gone on to buy their own cars and race full time. Why?
"It's the popularity of NASCAR. Everybody wants to be like Tony Stewart or Jeff Gordon," says Pollock, who races super-trucks 20 times a season.
Other multiple-time keeners on the track this summer? Montana Cookhouse owner John Ford and his buddy Rob Groening of Kelsey's, Patrick Allard, owner of PKP Construction, and Ryan Hambleton, who trains with his 14-year-old son Cyrus. Rob Cope from Carlson Engineered Composites "unfortunately had a problem with the car and blew the engine up."

FEMALE CEOs BRINGIN' IT FOR HOMELESS: Just a handful of women are sleeping out on the cold street for the Sept. 27 Change for the Better CEO Sleepout this year. But two female powerhouses have been leading the entire pack of more than 45 fundraisers for the homeless. In the lead at $12,138 and rising Thursday was Marilyn McLaren, president and CEO of MPI, with Diane Gray, president and CEO of CentrePort in second at $8,565, and Rob Johnston, RBC's regional president, in third at $6,075.
The group goal is $150,000 by the time they bed down on the street. They passed $70,000 Thursday.

Wearable Instagram: Can Two Designers Revolutionize Photo Printing?
These days many avid photographers don't really think about printing their work, content to let it live on their phones, external hard drives, and social networks. But a new textile printing method that lets photographers, designers, and craftspeople print directly onto any natural fiber could change that mindset.
The Lumi Process is the creation of Los Angeles dye manufacturer Lumi. Their chief product is a water-based, environmentally friendly dye called Inkodye, that develops photographic images direclty on fabric with sunlgiht. "We're working to bring photogrpahy out of the dark room and into the sun," says founder Jesse Genet, who's been at work researching and building a company around the dye for the past eight years.
A short video on Lumi's site explains how the process works. First, take a photo and print out a negative on transparent film. (Lumi's new app Lumityper lets iPhone users quickly turn their phone images into black and white negative.) Then, apply a layer of Inkodye across a natural fabric of your choice, pin the negative to the fabric above the dye, and leave it out in the sun, where the print develops. Finally, wash the print with Lumi's textile detergent to make sure the image stops developing. The result is a high quality photographic image permanently affixed to a cotton t-shirt or leather bag, without the hassle of screens or expensive equipment.
In July Lumi rounded out its second Kickstarter campaign to give the company the funding it needs to begin production on a $35 kit that includes most of what you'll need to do the Lumi Process: three bottles of dye in red, orange, and blue, a stencil, a test negative, and instructions. (Film and detergent cost extra.) GOOD recently caught up with Lumi co-founder Stéphan Angoulvant to talk about how the dye works, the ways customers are using it, and what it's like starting a business over Kickstarter.
GOOD: Tell me a bit about the Inkodye. What's it made from? How'd you come up with the "recipe?" Does someone on your team have a background in chemistry?
Stéphan Angoulvant: Inkodye is part of a family of dyes called vat dyes. Vat dyes are often used in coloring military and service uniforms that need to withstand frequent washing and prolonged wear in outdoor environments. They're best suited to coloring natural fibers like cotton, linen, and leather. The breakthrough with Inkodye is making these dyes reactive to sunlight so that you can print with them photographically. Inkodye is almost colorless in the bottle, but reaches its full saturation when developed in sunlight.
The original chemistry of photosensitive vat dyes dates back to the 1950s, but never entered the market as a fully-formed product. While still in high school, Jesse had been doing extensive research on printing methods for textiles and came across a reference to dyes that develop in sunlight.
Over the course of years, she was able to sleuth out the last remaining person who knew how to formulate such dyes. When she finally met him, he had a hard time understanding why a teenager had such eager interest in what he perceived as failed product.
After having experimented with the dye and eventually bringing me into the fold, Jesse and I acquired the outdated formula and began to modernize it.
Neither Jesse nor I have a background in chemistry, but being scientifically-minded and assisted by several great people we were able to revamp the formula with modern ingredients, making it safer and more accessible than ever.
Since then we've been producing Inkodye in Los Angeles, using it to create printed goods and developing a whole system of tools around it. The dyes have been selling on our website for about a year and our production volumes have grown very quickly as people in over 70 countries have bought our products.
GOOD: What are your backgrounds? Fashion? Photography?
Angoulvant: My background was originally in science. I got a degree in biology from Colorado College. After graduating, I transitioned into industrial design and attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where I met Jesse.
Jesse grew up in Detroit where she spent much of her time playing at her step-father's industrial workshop, helping him develop new technologies in various fields of science and engineering.
She started her first business in high-school designing t-shirts, which led her into her research on textile printing. Both of us have had a great interest in photography all our lives, which of course has had a lot impact on Lumi.
GOOD: Do you have day jobs or is this a full-time hustle?
Angoulvant: When we met at Art Center, Jesse and I became quick friends and I started helping her develop the Lumi Process. We worked on it between classes until Lumi grew into a business. It's been our full-time job for about a year. We're now a team of 7 and have great advisors helping us take the business even further.
GOOD: What's your favorite fabric to work with? Would you say some fabrics are better suited for printing on than others?
Angoulvant: We love a good challenge so our favorite materials are usually some of the harder ones to print. Lumi prints look incredible on leather, for example, but it's a technique that requires more care and know-how than cotton.
The easiest to print are the fabrics that can be put through a hot washing machine. Cotton, linen and silk come to mind. You have to remember that Inkodye only works on natural fibers—either vegetable or animal fibers.
GOOD: Who is the typical customer for your dye? What are some of the more interesting applications you've seen?
Angoulvant: The customers and applications are amazingly broad. We see a lot of designers but also people who are involved in darkroom photography, crafts, fine art. There's also science teachers and summer camps using Inkodye. It's quite amazing.
One of the most exciting things for us is to see young teens who have been brought up in the digital world playing with Inkodye as their very first experience with printed photography.
GOOD: Your first Kickstarter announced that your goal was "to turn the fashion world upside down." What's the response been like from the fashion world? Have any designers experimented with the dye in their collections?
Angoulvant: When we say upside down, we really mean it. As one of our Kickstarter backers put it, Inkodye is "democratizing fashion". We're helping people personalize their clothing and express themselves.
I think we're seeing the benefit of two big trends. On one hand, smartphones are allowing people to take and share pictures more readily than ever before, on the other, we continue to see the rise of inexpensive ready-to-wear fashion from H&M, American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, etc – mainly based on basics and plain colors. The Lumi Process allows people to make those garments their own. Simple clothes become a canvas for self-expression, and our tools make that easy to do, with high-quality results.
That said, we're also excited about seeing Inkodye emerge as a tool for professional fashion designers too. Last February, Junkfood Clothing made an entire collection for NY Fashion Week based on Inkodye.
GOOD: So far you've had two very successful Kickstarter campaigns. Your most recent one was funded at more than 250% of its goal. What's you opinion on building a business through Kickstarter?
Angoulvant: Kickstarter is an amazing platform and it keeps getting better. Running a project on Kickstarter is a very good way to find out whether you're on to something or not. To be successful you'll have to communicate very clearly and answer all kinds of questions you had never considered. It challenges you think the idea through. The money helps, but what's most valuable is the process Kickstarter puts you through and the people who become your customers. Our backers are some of the most powerful advocates of the Lumi Process.

Princeton, NJ (Sports Network) - Ian Hummer registered a double-double of 23 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Princeton Tigers as they defeated the Harvard Crimson, 58-53, in Ivy League action at Jadwin Gymnasium.
T.J. Bray added 14 points for Princeton (15-9, 8-2 Ivy) as it won for the third game in a row.
Steve Moundou-Missi paced Harvard (17-8, 9-2) with 15 points and eight boards. Wesley Saunders and Siyani Chambers scored 11 and 10 points, respectively as the Crimson had their four-game winning streak snapped.
Harvard came out of the gate cold to shoot just 28.6 percent from the field and miss all five of its 3-point attempts in the first half. The Tigers also missed all five of their attempts from beyond the arc before the break, but they hit on 44 percent of their field goal attempts to take a 30-24 lead into halftime.
The Crimson heated up to hit on 52.6 percent of their shots from the field after the intermission while limiting Princeton to 30.8 percent efficiency on its field goal tries. Moundou-Missi scored four consecutive points to give Harvard its first lead at 51-48 with 2:44 left to play. After a pair of lead changes, Hummer put the hosts on top for good with two makes at the charity stripe.
Princeton held a 37-24 edge in the rebounding battle which helped it net 11 second chance points. The Crimson failed to register a single second chance point and went 0-of-8 from beyond the arc in the contest.

Keep your eyes on the road and your phone in your pocket. That's the gist of the new guidelines proposed Tuesday by the federal National Transportation Safety Board. The NTSB wants states to ban drivers from any non-emergency use of cell phones and other electronic devices that aren't built into their automobile. "We're not here to win a popularity contest," said NTSB chairwoman Deborah Hersman. "No email, no text, no update, no call is worth a human life." Here's what you should know:
How dangerous is "distracted driving"?
Very. Commercial drivers are 163 times more likely to have a serious crash if they are texting, emailing, or accessing the web, according to a Virginia Tech study. Last year, 1 in 100 U.S. drivers was texting, emailing, surfing the web, or otherwise handling a portable device at any given moment. That's a 50 percent jump from 2009.
And it's deadly?
Yes. Distracted-driving fatalities rose 28 percent between 2005 and 2008, according to a University of North Texas study. At least 3,092 people died in wrecks involving distracted drivers in 2010, according to the NHTSA. Of course, distracted driving has been a problem "since the Model T," admits Hersman, but the rise of smartphones and other portable gadgets has led to much more frequent, engaging, and deadly distractions. "This is becoming the new DUI," says fellow NTSB member Robert Sumwalt. "It's becoming epidemic."
Can the NTSB enforce this ban?
No. It isn't even recommending any new federal action on distracted driving. Instead, the NTSB wants all 50 states and Washington, D.C., to individually ban all use of cell phones and other portable electronic devices, even with hands-free earpieces. The NTSB's recommendations do carry weight with federal regulators and state and federal lawmakers. And in that regard, this report is "a game-changer," says Jonathan Adkins at the Governors Highway Safety Association. "States aren't ready to support a total ban yet, but this may start the discussion."
Don't some states already ban distracted driving?
Yes, in some form. Texting while driving is banned in 35 states, and 30 states ban all cell phone use for beginning drivers. Nine states ban all hand-held cell phone use while driving. But no states currently ban the use of hands-free phones while driving.
Why is the NTSB speaking up now?
The tough new recommendations stemmed from the board's review of an Aug. 5, 2010, pileup near Gray Summit, Mo., in which a 19-year-old crashed his pickup into a tractor trailer at 55 mph, killing himself and causing a chain reaction that left another person dead and 38 people injured. The driver had sent six text messages and received five in the 11 minutes prior to the crash, including one "right before impact," the NTSB found. Missouri already had a law prohibiting texting-while-driving under age 21, the board noted, but enforcement was lax.
Should states follow the NTSB's advice?
The NTSB may be slightly overstating the problem, says Marguerite Reardon at CNET. Besides, will we also ban "those ladies putting on makeup, people reading, or eating messy foods while trying to navigate our roadways?" asks Stacey Higginbotham at GigaOm. I'm in favor of some "reasonable rules" that let us use some gadgets and hands-free devices, but what the NTSB proposes is unworkable. Hardly, law professor Carl Tobias tells The Christian Science Monitor. It's workable if states do the right thing: "It's amazing to me that despite the growing evidence to the contrary, people continue to think this is not dangerous."

Just when we thought Justin Bieber reading his own name off cue cards in his first set of promos for this weekend's episode of SNL couldn't get any worse, it did. I would like to clarify that I am not blaming Justin for the second set of terrible promos. Sure, he could have done a better job of acting natural during the first shoot with cast member Keenan Thompson (watch here if you must). This one I blame on the writers at SNL.
In today's promo, Justin and the usually hilarious Jason Sudeikis shoot three separate skits about, wait for it, Bieber fever. Is it 2010 and nobody told me? I hate when that happens!
Seriously guys, Bieber fever? In the last year alone, Justin has had a baby mama scandal, a huge break up with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, a drug scandal, about one million speeding tickets and numerous run-ins with paparazzi. He just released an acoustic album. Pretend his mic doesn't work! Hilarious! And he continually wears his pants around his knees. I mean , the kid is handing you skits on a silver platter and you're giving us some Bieber Fever business.
Plus, Bieber and Sudeikis have had a long-standing feud. There's about five skits in that alone! Click here to watch Sudeikis actually being funny and talking about Justin Bieber and watch the promo below if you must.

Maoists holding Italian threaten 'extreme' step
BHUBANESWAR, India
BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) - Maoist guerrillas holding an Italian hostage said on Friday talks to free the kidnapped tour guide were a farce and threatened to take "an extreme step" unless the government releases a group of imprisoned rebels within four days.
The leftist fighters from Orissa did not specify what action they would take if their demands were not met but said they were not ready to release Paolo Bosusco, the Italian taken hostage three weeks ago.
"If the demands are not fulfilled we will be forced to take extreme step," rebel leader Sabyasachi Panda said in an audio message aired on local TV stations, giving a 96 hour deadline.
An Italian foreign ministry spokesman said Rome was "concerned" at the news but had no further comment.
On Thursday, the Orissa state government said it would facilitate the release of 27 prisoners, including Panda's wife, in exchange for Bosusco's freedom and that of another hostage.
However, the list did not included the names of several prisoners the Maoists want released.
Also known as Naxals, the rebels have fought for decades in a wide swathe of central and eastern India including many resource-rich regions where tensions run high between poor farmers and industrial developers.
The government calls them the main internal security threat and an obstacle to higher growth and more jobs in Asia's third-largest economy. Hundreds die annually in the conflict, although levels of violence have fallen in recent years.
Bosusco was seized in Orissa state, along with another Italian, Claudio Colangelo, on March 14, in what is believed to be the first time the rebels have targeted foreigners. Colangelo was handed to a group of reporters on March 25.
The fighters said they took the Italians because they were taking photographs of indigenous tribeswomen bathing in a river, an allegation Colangelo denied after his release.
On March 24, another group of Maoists kidnapped Jhina Hikaka, a state legislator, adding to the tension.
The rebels are insisting the government fulfil a total of 13 demands including an end to tourism in sensitive areas of the state and an end to police operations against them.

Reality Check: A diamond jubilee for Israel?
Queen Elizabeth at the races 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Sixty years in any job is worthy of celebration, so only a kill-joy would decry
this weekend's extended festivities in the United Kingdom to mark Queen
Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee – even though the idea of monarchy goes firmly
against the grain.The biblical prophet Samuel got it right when he
warned the elders of Israel against appointing a king. A king, he said, "will
take your sons and appoint them as his charioteers and horsemen... will take
your daughters as perfumers, cooks and bakers... will seize your choice fields,
vineyards and olive groves... He will take a tenth part of your flocks and you
shall become his slaves."Indeed, the Crown Estate in Britain is one of
the largest property owners in the United Kingdom, with a portfolio worth £7
billion, including large chunks of central London and, fittingly enough given
Queen Elizabeth II's love of horseracing, Ascot racecourse.But the
accrued wealth of the British and other royal families, whether still sitting on
their thrones or not, is not the key argument against a monarchical system. What
rankles is the idea that a person, through sheer accident of birth, is regarded
as superior to others and due deferential treatment that is inherited but not
necessarily earned.QUEEN ELIZABETH herself has earned the admiration of
her subjects.Her life as queen has been one filled with duty and almost
faultless behavior, her only major slip being a failure to understand the
societal dynamics at work during the hysteria-filled days following the death of
Diana, her onetime daughter-in-law.Other monarchs are less dutiful;
Spain's King Juan Carlos recently chose to go on an elephant-hunting safari in
Africa despite his country's severe economic crisis (and the ironic fact that he
is the honorary president of Spain's World Wildlife Fund).There is more,
though, to Queen Elizabeth's successful reign than an ability to smile silently
through countless flower shows, bricklaying ceremonies, tree plantings and state
ceremonial occasions. While British society has changed almost beyond
recognition since the end of the Second World War, she has been a constant
presence in British lives, first as a princess, then a young queen bringing up
her family and now as the nation's matriarch.As British Chief Rabbi Lord
Jonathan Sacks wrote in the London Times last week: "Her presence and her
family's role as the human face of national identity is one of the great
unifying forces in Britain, a unity we need all the more, the more diverse
religiously and culturally we become."This role of a unifying force is
something that Israel desperately lacks. Our presidents aspire to it, but given
the baggage they bring to the position from their previous (in most cases)
political careers, there are always going to be large sections of the population
who will never truly warm to them. And the less we talk of Moshe Katsav, the
better.SO DOES Israel need a royal family? Although the Netanyahus seem
to have been auditioning for the role for two decades, the answer is a clear
"no." The British system currently works more because of Queen Elizabeth's
exceptional character than for any other reason. It seems very unlikely that her
son Charles, when he succeeds to the throne, will engender the same admiration
and affection.And at its heart, Israel is still an egalitarian country
with no truck for deference.But we badly need the occasional event in
which we can all celebrate our good fortune in living in this
country.Independence Day is not the answer. For almost 20 percent of the
country's citizens, the establishment of a Jewish state was not the pinnacle of
2,000 years of yearning. And for others, the painful juxtaposition of
Independence Day with Remembrance Day makes it too hard for them to
celebrate.Israel's other national holidays are all religious and so
while each and every one of us is free to mark them as they choose (unless
you're reliant on public transport, which of course is shut down by religious
fiat for the duration of the festival), these holidays do not unite the nation
as a whole. In fact, they actually divide the country, sending one section to
the synagogue, another to the beach or national parks while sending a further
message of non-belonging to Israel's large non-Jewish minority.Just as
the British today are celebrating a public holiday, with no religious or any
other significance behind it, with an extra day tomorrow to mark the Diamond
Jubilee, so too should Israel institute a few days' public holidays a year so
that we can all have a good time – together.The writer is a former
editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post.

Super cars, premium beers help rich Indians beat blues
MUMBAI (Reuters Life!) - The world economy is struggling and India is growing at its slowest pace in six years, but that hasn't stopped the wealthy from downing premium beers and revving up their super-luxury cars.
The global financial crisis has hit Asia's third-largest economy harder than expected, more than halving the number of billionaires to 24, according to Forbes magazine, but marketers are upbeat about prospects for sporty cars and luxury holidays.
"There's nothing like a spin in one of these beauties to make you feel better," said Hormazd Sorabjee, editor of Autocar magazine, pointing to a flaming red Ferrari and a bright orange Lamborghini rolling to a stop outside a stylish restaurant.
Autocar, along with textile tycoon and car buff Gautam Singhania, launched India's first Supercar Club at the weekend, to bring together the growing number of luxury car owners.
Car sales are struggling in India, but that didn't stop Audi from opening a 10,000-sq. ft. showroom in Mumbai, not far from a showroom for Rolls Royce and a spanking new one for Jaguar and Land Rover, the luxury UK brands owned by India's Tata Motors.
"We have a critical mass of luxury car brands now and owners who are keen to connect," said Sorabjee, who expects the club will have about 200 invited members to begin with.
The club's members, along with the more than 123,000 millionaires in India, are also the target of global luxury apparel and jewellery labels as well as wine and beer brands.
Consumption of beer in India, traditionally a whisky-swigging nation, has been on the rise, helped by a young population and launches by brewers including Budweiser, Carlsberg and Heineken.
But the market, estimated at about 1.4 billion litres last year by Euromonitor, is almost entirely made up of lager.
Which makes it perfect for craft beers, according to Habeeb Kamaal, chief executive of TVB Group in India, which has launched five beers and ales, all branded Little Devils.
"The beer market is growing fast, incomes are rising and there is a young population that is keen for new experiences, so it is the perfect time," he said, demonstrating how to pair the beers with Indian foods such as kebabs and biriyani.
Little Devils is priced at a premium to most other beers in the market, but despite the gloomy economic environment, Kamaal is confident of frothy sales in a country where per capita beer consumption is just over a litre a year.
"We're sure growth in the Indian beer market will be in small, niche beers like these," he said.
Exclusivity is where it's at, Sorabjee agrees, with one complaint: "It's all very well to own a Ferrari, but where would you drive it? There's not one suitable road in the city."

Ottawa GM Bryan Murray was on Fan590 in Toronto a talked a bit about Ray Emery and Wade Redden. It looks Emery will be bought out unless Murray can find a trade partner for him in the next week or so. Murray feels it is better if the part ways even though Hartsburg did coach Emery in Sault Ste. Marie.
Murray talked a little Wade Redden too and said he will not be able to match what Redden can get on the open market, so it looks like he is gone come July 1st.
