Robbie Bach, President of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, sat down to talk to Reuters at CES in Las Vegas, ahead of the big keynote address by CEO Steve Ballmer. Topics discussed ranged from the Windows 7 beta and eventual launch, Microsoft's mobile search deal with Verizon, and how the tough economic environment is affecting the company.
What is the status of Windows 7? Is it still on track for its launch debut?
It's absolutely on track for the debut that we won't tell you the date of. Three years from the last one. (Vista shipped in the fall of 2006 to businesses, and early 2007 to consumers). The date has some range in it for that reason. It's a very good product.
What have you learned from the ups and downs of the Vista launch?
We learned that people's early experience with the product when it ships is important. Initially when it shipped, we didn't have as much compatibility as we would like. And that frustrated some people early on. That's all gone now. But certainly with Windows 7 we want to get that right from the start.
How has the economy's problems affected Microsoft plans?
The economy is going through a reset. There is no question about that. In the short term that means that every business is having some impact. Our general approach is to say that this is a reset, we are going to manage through that and come out the other end of that reset a much stronger company with a great product lineup. And you are going to see us continue to invest in technologies. But (we have) tremendous optimism about where the market is going and what the opportunities are over the next 5 years.
There are rumors out there about job cuts at Microsoft. What can you say about that?
We are not gong to comment about rumors. We will see how that plays out. You will see how that plays out in the market.

Unemployment: Why Canada is trailing the U.S. on jobs
Unemployed Canadians had little good news this morning, as Canada created fewer jobs than expected and more people gave up looking for work entirely. The reverse was true in the U.S.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
It's a tale of two very different job markets.
While Canada's employment growth stalled in February, the U.S. job market took another leap forward.
One reason is the consumer.
In Canada, consumer spending is slowing while in the U.S. it's starting to pick up.
And consumers tend to create jobs in labour-intensive industries, such as home construction and retailing.
Canada shed 2,800 jobs last month, Statistics Canada said Friday. That's well below the estimated 15,000 gain economists had expected, marking the fifth month in a row the numbers have disappointed.
Canada's unemployment rate dipped to 7.4 per cent last month, but only because 38,000 people gave up looking for work, the data also showed.
The latest job loss was particularly hard on young people, ages 15 to 24 years, especially in Ontario, the data showed.
Meanwhile, the U.S. created 227,000 jobs in February, the third consecutive month of employment growth, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics. Unemployment held steady at 8.3 per cent as more Americans began looking for work.
But while the rate of job creation in the U.S. is currently outpacing Canada's, that wasn't always the case, economists said.
Canada has already regained all the jobs it lost during the 2008-09 recession while the U.S. is still catching up. Overall, Canada's labour market is 179,000 jobs above its pre-recession peak.
What we're seeing now is a structural shift in the way the two economies are recovering, says Doug Porter, deputy chief economist with BMO Capital Markets.
"In a nutshell, we're seeing a shift in the recovery (in Canada). The first couple of years saw a quick rebound in housing and consumer spending as well as fiscal stimulus. All those sectors are very good at generating lots of jobs. The public sector went on a bit of a hiring spree. The construction industry tends to be very labour intensive," Porter said in a telephone interview.
"Now what we're seeing is a transition away from those sectors and more towards exports to the U.S. supported by the manufacturing sector and the resources sector. Those sectors tend to be very productive. They don't tend to generate a whole lot of jobs."
"The U.S. economy is almost doing the exact opposite. They got off to a nice start on the productivity side and saw a pretty good bounce in industrial production and very weak consumer spending and housing. But now they're starting to see the housing market bottom out and (U.S.) consumer spending is recovering."
Porter said he expects these trends to continue for at least a few more months.
That could be bad news for younger Canadians, many of whom gave up looking for work last month, a trend that worries labour economists.
"This huge withdrawal from the labour force is a sign of weakness in the job market," Erin Weir, economist for the United Steelworkers of Canada, wrote in an email. "Most of those leaving the labour market were young people in Ontario and Alberta. Nationally, 25,000 of the 38,000 who dropped out were younger than 25."
As well, real wages in Canada are failing to keep pace with inflation, Weir noted, commenting on the fact average hourly wages grew just 2.1 per cent in February compared to a year ago.
Given the economy's strong finish in 2011, economists had expected job creation to gain momentum last month, RBC Economics said in a research report to clients.
"Today's labour report was disappointing in light of the strengthening in real GDP growth that began in December," Dawn Desjardins, assistant chief economist at RBC, wrote in a note to clients.
Most of February's job gains were in the goods producing sector, chiefly manufacturing, forestry, mining and construction, where 17,800 new jobs were added, Statistics Canada said.
But that was more than offset by 20,700 jobs losses in the service sector, led by retail, transportation, warehousing, health care and public administration as government austerity measures start to take effect.
Finance, insurance and real estate companies added 41,200 workers reversing a downward trend seen in the previous five months that saw 71,500 jobs eliminated.
Education and business services also made gains.
Self-employment rose by 12,300.
The unemployment rate slid to 7.4 per cent from 7.6 per cent in January as 37,900 fewer people looked for work.
Ontario's unemployment rate fell by half a percentage point to 7.6 per cent, as more people became discouraged and gave up looking for work.
Full-time employment rose by 9,100 jobs while part-time fell by 12,000 positions, continuing a trend seen over the past 12 months.
Economists expect Canada's labour market to improve as interest rates remain low and debt woes in Europe ease.

Birth announcement
Danny and Melody Velasquez of Holly Springs announce the birth of a baby boy, Vanderbilt Raul Velasquez, born November 29, at Baptist DeSoto in Southaven.
He was 7 lbs. 8.5 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.
Maternal grandparents are Patrick and Deborah Holmes of Holly Springs and paternal grandparents are Maria Luisa and Felix Raul Velasquez of Honduras.
Maternal great-grandparents are Thurman and the late Marjory Holmes of Holly Springs.
Holiday Christmas Tour very successful
Wow! The amazing 'Christmas in Holly Springs' is over and it was, again, wonderful. The six houses were beautiful, all dressed in Christmas splendor. Always, we owe a debt of thanks to the wonderful, unselfish, homeowners. They are like heroes as, without their generosity, we couldn't have a tour. We entertained about 400 people. They came from many states. The weather was absolutely perfect and everybody enjoyed it and had a good time.
The museum was decorated in old fashioned decorations. Our tree has wooden handmade ornaments (no candles, though; we don't ever allow a match in the museum.)
About 40 years ago, there was a Methodist missionary about 80 years old here on 'leave'. She said the Lord was letting her live to pray for the church leaders and other missionaries. She was born in Hudsonville and had great memories of her childhood. I asked her what her earliest memory was. She said she remembered being in the First Methodist Church one Sunday night waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. She was only four or five years old, (about 1894 or 5). There was a huge cedar Christmas tree in the amen corner lighted with candles as decorations. Then jingles started and Santa Claus came ambling down the aisle to the tree. All of a sudden Santa Claus' beard caught on fire from getting too close to the lighted tree candle. Her memory was of everybody trying to put out the fire, so the horror of Santa catching on fire lasted a lifetime.
Back in the 1930s, people didn't do much decorating and what little they did began a week or ten days before Christmas and it was over before New Year's. Christmas Eve was the big shopping day and lots of people waited until then to begin shopping. Much preparation was made in the food department. Julie Ann Glover, who was our cook, had come to Mother when she was 14 looking for a job and my mother took her in and she cooked for us for 55 years. They would cook the greatest dressing, fruit cake, jam cake, and pound cake. The recipe for Grandma Bonds' pound cake was a pound of sugar, a pound of butter (4-sticks), a pound of eggs (10), a pound of plain flour, (4-1/2 cups), two teaspoons of vanilla, a pinch of salt, bake a long time at low temperature. Then cover when it was cool with seven minute icing. Yum, yum, good! My Grandmother Bonds had 13 children and they claimed that everyday she cooked a pound cake, probably without icing however.
Once I asked Uncle Grover Bonds what he remembered about Christmas at his house. He said they all received an orange, a peppermint stick and a shiny dime every year. In 1907 all the Bonds and relatives came to the house to eat Christmas dinner (always in the middle of the day). Supper (left-overs), was at night. A photograph was there and shows a big family in the front yard in front of the house, which was close to Spring Hill Church, east of Waterford. Grandpa Bonds joined the Confederacy when he was 16. He was in the Mississippi Calvary, but was captured by the Yankees on his first mission. He was sent to Fort Delaware on an island in the middle of the Delaware River.
It's still there and open to the public from May until September. He was kept there for four years and after the war was over, he was carried by ship around the east coast from Florida to Mobile. They let him off there and he walked home to Waterford from Mobile and never went anywhere again. He died in 1915 of stomach trouble which he had all of his adult life. He blamed it on the Yankee prison food.

even after all this time it still utterly baffles me when people say harry/hermione is like incest. like, i get not shipping it (well, i don't really but ship and let ship, as i say). but incest? really???
i always thought that ron and hermione acted more like my brother and me in the early years. so that was awkward. i think one of the major problems in the series is that the romantic relationships are so underdeveloped that which friendship->romance trope you prefer is almost entirely based on personal experience/preference. (although i think harry/hermione has the narrative on its side but it's debatable and i'm clearly biased.)
that just leads me into another issue with the books being entirely from harry's pov. as much as i love that boy with my whole heart and i loved reading the books from his pov, it means you just can't explore the other characters and relationships like ron and ron/hermione that much.* like, the reason i never shipped them is i actively don't understand how they function when they're together. this is a legitimate question, please direct me to fic that answers it, what do they do when they're together? what do they talk about? there are whole weeks in the summer when they're together without harry and we never get to see their friendship, outside of harry. do they play chess? card games? talk about wizarding versus muggle culture? listen to music? do they like the same bands? do they just discuss harry ad nauseam??? i have serious questions!!! i need r/hr friendship fic! if i understood how they are on their own, i'd be much more open to shipping it.
*(harry/ginny being underdeveloped is purely a fault of the writing, not the pov choice, sorry i'm not sorry. you could have done better, jkr.)

Finished: My Paris. Gail Scott.
"Continuing up Rennes. Dodging little Saabs and Renaults. Loving walking here. Sun alternately streaming. Obliterating physiognomies. No longer nouns. But movement. Disappearing. Now heavily raining. Sitting out anyway. Over drain smelling of beer. Metro. Sewers. Fetid breath of Paris. Two cold coffees. Watching shadows lengthening. On la Gaite opposite. Where Colette once performing. Having walked in old boots across city. Drawing mole above lip. Rice-powdering delicious arms. Paris a drug. P saying on phone. Yes Paris a drug. A woman. And I waking this a.m. Thinking there must be some way. Of staying. Now my love's silhouette of rooftops eclipsing. Into night. Cold heinous breath. Blowing on privates. Through grille underneath." p107

OmniPage Pro is scanning software that allows you to scan text into an editable format such as a Microsoft Word document. The documents that you scan can include images and tables, but should consist mainly of text that you wish to edit.
Where to find this software
OmniPage Pro X can be found in several locations on campus including the Science Center Faculty Resource Room (the Cave), the Mini-Focus, and stations 22-23 in the Knapp Media and Technology Center.
How to scan text
Make sure the scanner is turned on. If for some reason the scanner is not turned on, shut down the computer, turn the scanner on and then turn the computer back on. The scanner must be turned on BEFORE the computer.
1. To Launch OmniPage Pro X
Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > OmniPage Pro X > OmniPage Pro X .
2. Place the text document to be scanned face down on the scanner. The page should line up with the arrow on the top right corner of the scanner.
3. Under the OmniPage Pro X menu, select Preferences.
4. Preferences should match the picture below. If the Preferences are set correctly, click Cancel .(It is important that the Selected Scanner be set to Epson Twain 5 and that Resolution reads 200 dpi ).
Note : If the settings do not match the picture above, then please adjust Preferences :
- Select the Scanner icon in the left tool bar.
- In the Scanner box, click Select . Then, in the Manufacturer column choose (TWAIN driver) , and click OK . (Make sure the scanner selected is Epson Twain 5 ).
- In the Scanning box, change the Resolution to 200 dpi .
- Click Save , to finalize any changes.
5. There should be a toolbar on the computer screen that looks like this:
6. The settings should be set to match the screen shot above:
- Under Box 1 , indicated by a scanner icon, select Scan in B&W.
- To make the changes to any of the settings, click on the up and down arrows and select the appropriate option.
- Language should be to " English (US) ".
- To change language: Go to Preferences > ABC Spelling > Main language: (choose appropriate language option). Click Save .
- The Lay Out setting should be " Mixed Pages ".
- The Style setting should be " True Pages ".
- Under Box 2 icon, OCR & Proof should be selected.
- Under Box 3 , " To File... " should be selected.
- Under Box 1 , indicated by a scanner icon, select Scan in B&W.
7. Finally, click on the Blue 1-2-3 arrow on the left side of the toolbar to scan your image.
8. After a few seconds, you will hear the whirring of the scanner. When the scanner is finished scanning the document, three windows will open on the screen. The left window contains a list of documents that you have scanned. The center window contains your document divided into zones (you should ignore this window). The last window is the OCR Proofreader, which works like a spellchecker. ( If OCR Proofreader does not launch immediately after recognizing the document, then you can go to Edit > Proofread OCR .)
9. The proofreader will go through the document like a spellchecker. Make any corrections needed by typing them in the Change to: field and then clicking on Change .
Note : Even if text appears readable and correct in the larger window showing your actual document, do not assume you should Ignore any corrections. Check to see how accurately the Proofreader is recognizing words in the Change To: field and make changes as needed.
10. When Proofreader is done checking your document, a window will appear saying "OCR Proofreader is Finished checking the document". Click OK .
11. An " Export " dialog box will appear. If it does not appear, got to File > Export...
- In the " Save As: " field, type in a name for your document.
- In the " Where " field, select where you want to save your document. (For your convenience, it might be best to change the save location to "Desktop")
- In the "Save Format" field, select the type of file you want (such as "Word 98, 2001, X").
- If you have changed the format from an OmniPage document and plan on scanning multiple pages, make sure " Create One File for All Pages " is selected.
- Click Save .
12. To scan additional pages:
- Click the Blue 1-2-3 Arrow .
- A window labeled " OCR Instructions " will appear. Select the " Load and Process Additional Pages " option. Click OK .
- Repeat steps 5 through 12 until your document is done scanning. (Note: You can use the same name for your document each time, clicking Replace after every page).
12. When you are finished with OmniPage, from the OmniPage Pro X menu, select Quit OmniPage Pro X .
13. Your file has been saved in the format that you chose and can be opened in the appropriate application. (For example: If you saved your file as a Microsoft Word document, you can open the file in Word and edit it as if it were any other Word document.)

I am trying to ping between two machines with large ICMP packets which are
compressed using DEFLATE. I would prefer to view the decompressed packets
in the expanded packet details, but seems like wireshark is not
decompressing them. It identifies the packet having IPComp CPI equal to
DEFLATE , but is not actually deflating the data that follows.
I am using only IPComp, no encryption or authentication in the packet. I
am using version 1.2.7 of wireshark
Please let me know if anybody knows how to see them decompressed.

Ron Artest has been on a mission lately to fix his image... by admitting to all of the ridiculous stuff that he used to do. Like getting a little liquored up at halftime, back when he was on the Bulls.
"I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime. I (kept it) in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it."
Some of his other quotes in the article are quite awesome. It's definitely worth the read.

Man Jumps From Parking Garage, Dies

The Dark Knight Rises - EXCLUSIVE Making of Photo (UK)
The Dark Knight Rises is still filming in London, and a few candid new images have emerged…
As you may be aware by now, Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, is currently being filmed in certain locations in and around London. And courtesy of Den Of Geek reader Lee Andrews, we now have three new pictures from the film's shoot.
Okay, so they don't show anything terribly earth shattering, but we're pleased to see that a big yellow taxi has managed to get at least one cameo appearance. It's unfortunate that there's not a single snap of Michael Caine sitting on a step eating a bowl of Coco Pops, or at least a glimpse of Christian Bale noisily berating a squirrel for ruining his close-up, but we can't have everything, I suppose.
What the pictures do appear to show, though, is Croydon's Delta Point – the very building that, as we learned a couple of weeks ago, is scheduled for what the production calls a "computerised demolition".
When looking through these images, then, try to superimpose a massive explosion over it in your mind. The results are extremely exciting.

I have a faint memory of eating at the Danish Food Centre in central London(possiblyin Conduit St.) as a child. Am I imagining this, or does anyone else remember such a place?
Yes! The Danish Food Centre. And yes I think it WAS Conduit Street. I was an exchange student in England 1963/1964 and I visited the DFC many, many times whenever I was in London. They had absolutely the best coffee I'd ever had (I asked and they told me it was Twinings) and a chocolate mousse to die for.
Now I live in Europe and am investigating finding Twining's coffee here on the continent (germany).
I shopped at The Danish Centre nearly every lunch time during the late 70s! They had the best Oped Sandwiches - Prawn being my favourite! And Sauté Potatoes and Potatoe Salad. Another favourite was their Russian Salad. I so wish it was still there. Have been looking online to see if it still exists elsewhere but haven't had any success. If anyone knows where they moved to I would love to know!

My last three bottles of glycerin. They each cost 4-5$ from the same grocery store but notice how much smaller they've gotten. Wow.
I only retained 1 inch in the past year!
When you get comfortable with your length, it's easy to start taking shortcuts with your hair regimen. This is precisely what I did when I reached shoulder length early last year. When I compare photos from last April to now (February), I don't see the remarkable difference that 2013-me would have hoped for. It appears to be as little as a one-inch difference.
Growing hair is not the (main) problem. The difficulty lies in retaining the weakened ends after wear and tear. Here are some of the shortcuts I took that have proven to be detrimental to my hair progress:
- Lazy protective styling: My hair is in box braids 95% of the time, which is good. However, in the past year, I stopped washing it weekly, moisturizing it daily (with a mixture of water, glycerin and conditioner) and wearing satin caps to bed.
- Too much heat: I got excited with maximizing the length of my hair. Any twist out or braid out was first done on a blow out. I also straightened my hair a few times, which I did not do in the first couple years of my hair journey. Although I used heat protectants, it is likely that my fine hair could not handle the heat.
- Ditching natural products: I've struggled to find a natural shampoo that cleanses and moisturizes. By last year, I just started using sulfate shampoos whenever I felt like it. I also used a few more silicone-based products when I wore straight styles. Sulfates are known to be harsh on the hair and silicones block out moisture, neither of which is healthy for hair.
- Quitting my multivitamins: To be frank, I got tired of swallowing those massive pills every day. And I know I do not get enough iron, calcium and other nutrients in my diet. Hair cannot grow if the body is not nourished.
- Getting lazy: I stopped working out around last summer, when I started working. I also purchased more food or made easier/unhealthy meals to save time and energy. I have noticed both weight gain and shortness of breath at simple tasks. I can't say for sure, but this may have impacted my growth rate as well.
- Losing motivation: This is probably the biggest factor. I took down my wall of inspiration once I felt that my length was close enough to the beautiful girls I aspired to. Passing this wall several times a day encouraged me to run to the bathroom and spray my hair, or engage in other healthy hair practices. Without a goal, I wasn't putting in work.
- Not keeping track: It's not a good thing to be obsessed with hair. But keeping up with this blog and my own personal monthly photos of my hair progress were tremendously helpful tools in keeping me motivated, encouraged and on track with my hair regimen. I was more aware of what products and practices worked, where the flaws were and the consequences of bad behaviours. I only had to wait a month to notice there was no retention and to make a change, rather than finding out almost a year later that there was no progress.
I'm hoping now to modify all of those behaviours I listed above, not just for the benefit of my hair, but for the benefit of my body as well. And hopefully, by this time next year, I'm not so disappointed with my hair progress!
What are some of the shortcuts you've taken with your hair?
The truth about 4B hair
I think the biggest misconception about 4B hair is that there are no curls.
More accurately, I think 4B hair has no uniform curl pattern. There is a difference. 4B hair can have curls, kinks and waves all mixed up in there, but the hair does not clump together to form a lock with a consistent pattern. Some strands may even have the C-, Z- and S-shape all in one. Some naturals are quick to label themselves a 3B or 4A after spotting some of these looser patterns, but on most of my head, I can find that each strand is doing its own thing. My sides may be 4A (they look like this) but the rest is totally questionable. So maybe I have the hair typing system wrong, or maybe it just doesn't cover my hair "type". I'm not sure!
Do you agree with this or do I have it all wrong? What's your take on 4B hair or even the typing system in general?
Afro Puffs, Politics and Privilege ›
I really enjoyed this article on CurlyNikki, where author Erica Thurman talks about acknowledging privileges within the natural hair community. We don't all have the same journey. The better you fit into the narrow beauty ideal (skinny, lighter skinned, etc), the more willing people may be in accepting your one deviation (your natural hair). But if you have darker skin and more weight on you then acceptance may be a little more difficult. Then again, this is all relative—it depends on who you are and what kind of community you grow up in. But I find this a very important article nonetheless.
What do you think?
don-juan-cherry-tempo asked: I just read your post 'relaxers are the devil' and I completely agree, there's no way we can win, we make an effort and we're 'fake', we don't and we're 'ugly' or 'lazy', so what exactly are we supposed to do?! I use a relaxer but not for straightness but because my natural hair is so coarse there is literally nothing I can do with it, I have the tightest curls and you can get a comb through it without excruciating pain, I'd like to go natural but I need the manageability more than anything!
Glad you agree! A lot of feminist scholars talk about the "beauty ideal" and how it binds women, and the relaxer is definitely part of that.
Hm, do you read natural hair sites? You totally don't have to feel pressured to go natural, but some sites are great with tips on how to finger detangle or gently comb. It's probably painful because of knots (which can occur with extremely curly hair), so try combing it with conditioner or oil in your hair. If you go slowly and start at the ends it might be less painful but you have to have a few hours to spare.
If you do decide to go natural, here are some good resources:
Good luck!
Unwarranted Opinions on Black Hair (Part II)
If you head to the comments section of a recent article on my favourite natural hair site, Black Girl Long Hair, you'll find a bit of an uproar. People are upset that the original post seemed to be questioning that black girls could have long hair (quite ironic given the site title) and it got me thinking about their "Natural Celebrities" section in general. I left this comment:
The "Natural Celebrities" section of BGLH is already a questionable topic…It invites us to have an opinion/input/discussion on someone else's hair and personal choices by asking us what we think or if it looks good…as if that matters. And then we get upset when our coworkers/families/friends/strangers are always commenting on OUR hair. Black women's hair (and bodies) never stays out from under the microscope. Using celebs as inspiration is great, but otherwise their hair choices are irrelevant to me.
It's not enough that there are black women representing various forms of natural hair, but the site often invites us to be critical of exactly how these women are doing it. Does it look good? Would you rock it? Do you think it's real? What do you think of this style? I understand that they're inviting traffic to their site, but I think it's a problematic discourse that an outsider should have such a heavy critique on another person. It also makes it hard to proclaim that as black women we are not our hair, when we fetishize and objectify each other in such ways.
I wrote in Part I that my non-black friends have too much to say about my hair; but it seems like there is a larger problem in which criticizing black women is normalized and in which everyone participates.
Can't stop smiling :) I love my job because of moments like this… A parent told me that her baby has fallen in love with her afro & darker complexion for the first time because of my help!!! She said she never loved school or reading, but know she can't wait to get to school to see her teacher! Now, she strives to be excellent, she is confident, she loves to read, and most importantly… she LOVES herself. She said this was not the case last year at her old school and she has never seen her so happy :) This makes it all worth it! I love all of my kids, but our young afro american girls hold a special place in my heart! The world, as it is today, tells them that they're not beautiful the way they were created… skin too dark… hair too kinky and nappy… all you have to do is turn on the television or flip through a magazine… look at the dolls on store shelves… are we represented??? Not Barbie dipped chocolate, but our God given beauty… Natural texture, variety of shades, and shapes??? No. So…if we don't build our babies up, who will??? The world will continue to lie to them and tell them the need straight hair, lighter skin, larger butts, and breasts. Songs/Videos/ "reality" shows, are telling them that they're great for sexual pleasure…materialistic… shouldn't expect a lot of a man… settle… you're not good enough… you will never measure up to "her". They are crying out to us… be the change you want to see in the world…
Understanding Terminal Length with BGLH ›
Reading more about terminal length has removed my initial skepticism over it and given me more understanding. First I was worried that I would never have long hair because it wasn't "in my genes"; then I was certain I could have floor-length Rapunzel hair if I had enough time to grow it. Many people won't even know their terminal length if they're not taking care of their hair, so my goal is to continue what I'm doing and see how long I can go (though I understand it won't likely make it to the floor)! I'm two years post-relaxer and my natural hair is just slightly shorter than my relaxed hair was.

Black hair and growth: Is Beyonce bald?
I think sometimes people honestly forget that hair can grow. Particularly hair on the heads on black people. If you're spotted once with short hair, the assumption is that your hair cannot grow any longer and that short hair isn't a choice.
One of the best examples to illustrate my point is Queen Beyonce. A few years ago, pictures of her at the airport with a teeny tiny ponytail surfaced (pictured left) and ever since then, people have had the image of Beyonce with short hair.
She went on to wear a lot of lace fronts wigs, and (black) women everywhere brought up their magnifying glasses to check her hairline. Pictures of glue or tape or the details of her wig were all over the Internet (see above), with people sure that she wore these wigs because she was bald underneath (and not because she was protective styling or something). Her hair has been criticized like no other, and I personally commend her for not ever addressing it.
But what if—after those airport photos—Beyonce decided she wanted long hair and started wearing wigs to protect her ends and starting cowashing and prepooing and after five years now has bra strap length hair? How would we know? Well, we wouldn't. It's very possible that now when we see Beyonce with long blonde locks that the front is her own and she's adding extensions for volume or length just like any (and every) other Hollywood celebrity. But people still will not give her the benefit of the doubt. Beyonce is bald and that's final.
I want to share an old picture of my hair:
I took my natural hair journey seriously after July 2011 and cut out heat and harsh chemicals. I transitioned wearing my hair in box braids, re-doing them every month. You could see the blonde bit move down the braids each month, and people would ask me, "How did you get the blonde all the way down there?!" The simple answer was, "My hair grows" and then people would take their palms to their faces and realize how obvious it was. But people really do forget that black people can grow hair.
So when Beyonce's hair comes under fire, I personally find it to be ridiculous and part of the assumption that black women cannot grow their hair out long.
What do you think? Would you be shocked to find out Beyonce had long hair or does that seem obvious to you? Have people ever expressed doubt about your hair being long?
"Natural Hair and Backhanded Compliments" ›
A great article on CurlyNikki about ignorant "compliments" on natural hair. Click here to read my post on "Unwarranted Opinions on Black Hair".
Natural hair analogous to a revival of the 70s?
(This is going to go pretty well with the last post, so I suggest you read "90s and Natural Hair" first).
A lot of natural hair blogs jump in excitement when a mainstream magazine features a black girl with a giant, round afro. It's exciting to see representations of yourself in the media, isn't it? But there's something about the constant and relentless pairing of afros with 70s style that really just irks me now.
Why? Because it paints natural hair and afros as a thing of the past. These shots aren't just inspired by 70s fashion and music, they are 70s fashion and music. It's like we've traveled with a time machine to the past, where it was kinda/sorta/maybe acceptable or popular for women of African descent to wear their hair big. It just makes it that much more out of place when a woman chooses to wear her afro with a pair of skinny jeans and a blazer.
What I would like to see is this: Images in mainstream magazines featuring black girls with giant, round afros wearing clothes of 2012. Natural hair is present and a style for millions of women today, not a fashionable homage to the past. These images reify that afros belong with bell bottoms and bold patterns and platform shoes. It keeps natural hair associated with the 70s and a fad, rather than as something present and sustainable.
What are your thoughts on afros in the media? Do you feel they are representative of you?
i like that my hair grows up, towards the sun and the stars.
90s and Natural Hair
I think ladies going natural today are very lucky (as opposed to ladies who transitioned five to eight years ago). Fashion cycles every twenty years, and we can see the trends from the 1990s re-emerging. I was born in the early '90s but grew up on episodes and reruns of Fresh Prince, The Cosby Show, The Parkers, The Wayans Brothers, One on One, and more. The actresses on these shows rocked curly hair, kinky hair, high tops, short crops, and (of course) box braids! As '90s fashion becomes more popular on the streets in 2012 (20 years after my birth), it only makes sense that natural hair does too.
At this point, it's very important to note that with this 20-year cycle, the trends in the '90s were reminiscent of '70s style. This means the "Black Power" movement and natural hair as a political statement were very much in effect in the 1990s, even if they weren't explicitly stated or acknowledged.
After the horrid experiences I've had with relaxers and excessive heat from straightening, I know natural hair is going to have to be more than just a trend for me. But I wonder if natural hair's popularity will fade as we pass the era of the '90s (ie. the '70s) and if those who went natural without negative experiences from a relaxer will opt for the next "in" style.
Unwarranted Opinions on Black Hair
One of the most annoying things about being a black girl is that your hair (relaxed, natural or whatever) becomes subject to the comments of everyone—from strangers to friends to coworkers and more. Everybody has an opinion, some advice, a question or just something to say about our hair, how we should wear it and what we should do with it. We're all aware of how annoying unsolicited comments and remarks can be, but I noticed yesterday that even "compliments" can be quite alienating.
(Franchesca Ramsey in "Shit White Girls Say to Black Girls")
There's something incredibly irksome about non-black people saying, "I love you guys' hair!" Rather than just paying a compliment to me (ie: "I love your hair!"), it has somehow become a discussion about all black people and our "different" or "Othered" hair. It implies that "you guys" are not "us", and furthermore, that "you guys" are all monolithic and homogeneous with identical hair. You don't need to bring somebody's race up to compliment their hair, or talk about them as if their some exotic creature you just don't understand, or ask them to speak on behalf of their entire race and explain how "you guys" do certain things to it.
Black girls can't change their hair without everyone and their mothers taking notice. You get braids? All your non-black friends want to know if you had to glue it on your scalp. You get weave? All your non-black friends want to talk about how "you're so lucky" to change your hair all the time. You straighten your hair? All your non-black friends want to comment on how different you look. You wear it natural or curly? All your non-black friends freak out about how they love "you guys'" hair. Often times, these scenarios are accompanied by a petting or fingering of some sort.
I don't care that they're saying something nice. I really don't. The fact that they feel the need to say anything at all just exercises their power to have an opinion over our hair, make us feel different and stamp us with their unwanted approval.
Do any of you feel annoyed when your non-black friends are persistently making conversation about your hair choices?

Local politicians are preparing for battle.They are stockpiling the most important tool — money — and fortifying their war chests nine months before they head into primary battles next March.Together, Tarrant County politicians and challengers have more than $6.1 million in the bank, $3.2 million of which has been raised this year, according to new campaign finance reports filed with the Texas Ethics Commission."To have $6 million in one county in one state in a nonelection year is astonishing," said Jim Riddlesperger, a political science professor at TCU. "It's a lot of money."But the cost of running for election is going up geometrically every year."As expected, the top two Tarrant County money getters are Democrat Wendy Davis, who could be planning a bid for a statewide race, and Republican George P. Bush, who is running for a statewide seat.But other Tarrant County lawmakers have accumulated sizable sums, such as Republican state Sen. Jane Nelson, who has more than $1 million in cash on hand."I think we will see this escalate over the next year," Riddlesperger said. "I suspect this is just a precursor of things to come."Here's a look at money raised by local officeholders and challengers, according to state reports that detail contributions for the first six months of this year. Officeholders were prevented from raising money right before, after and during the regular legislative session. So these numbers filed with the state ethics commission mostly reflect funds raised during two weeks in late June.Land Commissioner • George P. Bush of Fort Worth. This year, Bush — son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, nephew of former President George W. Bush and grandson of former President George H.W. Bush — raised more than $2 million and has more than $2.6 million cash on hand.Donations include $10,000 from former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, $2,000 from the Texas Rangers' Nolan Ryan, $1,250 from the Arlington Police Association PAC, $2,500 from Fort Worth attorney Dee Kelly and $10,000 from Q PAC, a political action committee of Fort Worth investment banker Geoffrey Raynor."If viable potential challengers for land commissioner had not already been chased [away by] George P. Bush's family ties and widespread support within the GOP elite, his [finance report] sends an effective signal that this is a race they should avoid," said Mark P. Jones, a political science professor at Rice University in Houston.The fundraising timetable, which prevents officeholders from raising money during the regular legislative session, did not apply to Bush because he does not hold an elected office. • David Watts, an East Texas Republican, has also filed to run for this seat. He has raised $270 and has $1,261 cash on hand, which includes a $1,000 loan.

The five-seat Infiniti FX is a luxury crossover that emphasizes sportiness over utility. It is sold as the V-6-powered FX37 and as the V-8-powered FX50, covered in a separate report in the Cars.com Research section. It competes with a number of luxury crossovers, from the Lexus RX 350 to the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and BMW X5. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the FX37, and all-wheel drive is optional.
New for 2013
The FX's previous 303-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 makes way for a 325-hp, 3.7-liter V-6. With the new engine, the model name changes to FX37 from FX35. The Limited Edition model is available in Moonlight White with Graphite interior color.
The FX's beady headlights and rakish shape are at least as controversial as those elements on its predecessor, if not more so. Along the side, functional air vents reduce the FX's lift, Infiniti says. Exterior features include:
The cabin has a high dashboard, and a ledge just below the windshield curls around to the window sills. Air-conditioning and stereo controls sit below an available navigation display in the center control panel. The leather seats are available with quilted center inserts. Power adjustments for the front seats are standard. Interior features include:
Under the Hood
The FX37's new 3.7-liter V-6 makes 325 hp and teams with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Mechanical features include:

Disease Resistance:
No disease information found.
Symbols Explained
No additional symbols for this product.
Rubicon (F1)
Product ID: 2246
Full size for cooking and kimchee.
Firm, 11" tall heads weigh 5 1/2-6 1/2 lb. Blemish-free, deep green leaves and broad white ribs with a creamy yellow, blanched interior. The flavor is sweet, tangy, juicy, and delicious! Slow bolting. Tolerant to black speck. Avg. 135,750 seeds/lb. Packet: 100 seeds.
Quick Facts
Latin Name: Brassica rapa Pekinensis Group
Days to Maturity or Bloom: 52
Plant Cycle: (A)
Shipping Information & Notes
Rubicon is somewhat larger than Minuet, and should be spaced 18" apart (compared to the 12" spacing suitable for Minuet). It is NOT recommended that customers decrease spacing with the goal of smaller heads, because the heads will not become dense.
For best results, trim heads before storing. They will keep 1-2 months at 32°F/0°C and 95-98% humidity.
Growing Information
Cabbage, Chinese
CULTURE: SPRING-PLANTED CROPS: Use our bolt-resistant varieties. In the greenhouse sow 1-1½" plug trays and transplant out in 3-5 weeks taking care not to disturb roots; water-in plants.
SUMMER-FALL PLANTED CROPS: Sow 3 seeds every 12-18" (thin to 1 plant) in rows 18-30" apart, late May to late July, or grow from transplants as above. Observe sowing dates in variety descriptions.
BOLTING: The crop performs best in the gradually decreasing day length and temperatures of late summer. For spring- and early summer-planted crops, bolt-resistant variety selection is critical. Even the most bolt-resistant varieties may prematurely bolt to seed if young plants are exposed to frost or over a week of sub 50°F (10°C) nights. Wait until about the last frost date or after to direct seed or transplant out, or protect the plants with fabric row covers (See Index).
DISEASE: Practice preventive crop rotation and sanitation. We only stock seed lots that have been tested free of black rot in a sample of 30,000 seeds.
INSECT PESTS: Control flea beetles and cabbage root maggots with floating row covers from day of planting. (See Index).
STORAGE: Heads will store 1-2 months in a near-freezing, humid cooler, or in a root cellar if trimmed and wrapped in newspaper.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting; add 14-21 days for direct seeding.
AVG. PRECISION SEEDING RATE: 1,000 seeds sows 333', 5M/1,666', 66M/acre at 3 seeds/ft. in rows 2' apart.
TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 700 plants/1,000 seeds.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 141,000-151,000 (Avg. 145,000).
PACKET: 100 seeds sows 33'.

We diners sure know how to get ourselves into a Catch-22. We like Chilean sea bass (real name: Patagonian toothfish) so much, we've endangered it the point that there's a distinct possibility the species will be extinct in five years. Now, if we want to continue eating it, we have to boycott it. Fortunately, our local chefs and restaurateurs are taking it off their menus. By Word of Mouth, Café Claude, Café de Paris, Calypso Raw Bar and Restaurant, Creolina's, New Chinatown, the River House, Seawatch, Siam Cuisine, Solo Trattoria, and 3030 Ocean have all signed on to the "Take a Pass on Chilean Sea Bass" campaign, pledging to provide us with sustainable alternatives. Evolutionally speaking, such a step may be something of a last-minute gesture, but perhaps the dining community can make it count. After all, it worked for swordfish, which are once again on the upswing and back on the meal ticket.

Maureen Bridgid Dowd (born January 14, 1952) is a Washington D.C.-based columnist for The New York Times and best-selling author. During the 1970s and the early 1980s, she worked for Time magazine and the Washington Star, where she covered news as well as sports and wrote feature articles. Dowd joined the Times in 1983 as a metropolitan reporter and eventually became an Op-Ed writer for the newspaper in 1995. In 1999, she was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her series of columns on the Monica Lewinsky scandal in the Clinton administration.
Dowd was born the youngest of five children in Washington, D.C. Her father, Mike, worked as a D.C. police inspector while her mother, Peggy, was a homemaker. In 1973, Dowd received a B.A. in English from Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
Dowd began her career in 1974 as an editorial assistant for the Washington Star, where she later became a sports columnist, metropolitan reporter, and feature writer. When the newspaper closed in 1981, she went to work at Time. In 1983, she joined The New York Times, initially as a metropolitan reporter. She began serving as correspondent in The Times Washington bureau in 1986.

baccalaureate. Moreover, there was a consensus that M.D.s were at a competitive disadvantage with Ph.D. scientists for postdoctoral fellowships. Finally, the experts pointed out that the move from postdoctoral fellow to junior faculty was a difficult transition. The development of a career in independent research required that junior faculty devote considerable time and effort to research with salary and research support assured. Yet NIH funding mechanisms were not designed to foster the independent research careers of new faculty. The long lead time required, the difficulty in developing independent pilot data, and the complexity of the NIH review process, combined with the limited funding available worked against the development of an independent research career for young scientists.
As a result of the deliberations that occurred at the two meetings, the Trust crafted a program to fund young scientists with the potential to contribute significantly to biomedical research. This program, the Markey Scholars Awards program, was a hybrid funding mechanism that combined postdoctoral training with the first faculty appointment. Scholars Awards provided adequate support for both the postdoctoral period as well as for the initial years of the faculty appointment, to maximize productivity, foster intellectual growth, and encourage independence. Under the conditions of the Trust, a total of 16 Markey Scholar Awards were to be made each year, half to applicants with Ph.D. degrees and half to applicants with either M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees.
The Trustees recognized the special circumstances of some M.D. and M.D./Ph.D. scientists who are required to spend up to 3 years of clinical residency training. Such individuals require an additional 3 or 4 years of postdoctoral support, before obtaining a faculty position in a clinical or basic sciences department. By contrast, the Ph.D.s will have completed their postdoctoral fellowship and will be ready to assume faculty status at a much earlier point in their career. Recognizing these different career pathways, the Trustees determined that Ph.D. scientists would be eligible for nomination at the start of their second or third year postdoctoral year and would receive funding for an additional two years of the postdoctorate and that M.D.s and M.D./Ph.D.s would be eligible for nomination at the start of their last year of clinical training or after 1 year of postdoctoral training and they included funding for 3 years of postdoctoral training. All nominees were eligible for 5 years of funding at the faculty level.
In addition, the Trustees concluded that it was appropriate to fund a research allowance (varying from $15,000 to $60,000) for all Scholars. The research allowance was modest during the postdoctoral years; increased substantially during the initial faculty years; and was reduced during the final faculty years in anticipation of other extramural funding. Finally, recognizing the potential for additional education debt for Scholars with

Eric Bledsoe earned the nickname "mini LeBron." His dunking ability, chase down blocks, and overwhelming strength make him a unique type of point guard. Essentially, Bledsoe could play any position, were it not for his 6'1″ stature.
Many question how a back-up point guard could be worth so much. But Bledsoe backed up the best 1-man in the league in Chris Paul. He could start on a number of NBA teams. With the L.A. Clippers feeling as though Paul will remain in the city of angels, there has been little search for a back up, nor plan to use Bledsoe as their plan B.


text: I agree with Gid on this one. Usually the guys who are making the difference on the charges are the Big Dukes and the battle commanders. In the many armies they lead from the front, usually to lead the charge and spearhead the break through. Taking out these guys who are usually near the front takes a lot of the punch out of their forces. Plus it's easier them to call an arrow shot in the chest or grill then if they're busting through a line and getting hit, and then moving into our backfield. A prime example of this would be Duke Logan. He took up a good two or three minutes playing the rules once he was in the Castle to gain time, and acually told the marchals to make sure they kept an eye on him. That could have perhaps been the difference between a win or a loss on that one. If these guys are killed early on, the line troops don't have anyone to tell them what to do, or a commander of lesser skill has to jump in and do the job. It makes everyone's job easier and actually effects the outcome of the battle when those guys are killed first. Usually also, they are the ones with the plan, many times the whole plane or scheme of maneuver is not relayed down to the common shieldman on the line. This could be done in a lot of ways. Pictures could be handed out of their heraldry or even what they look like in armor. The guys who frequent the other wars and kingdoms, or have been playing awhile and know who's who could put their heads together and decide who the key players are and decide who needs to be taken out first. Actually a solution could be reached that could make everyone happy. Detail small groups of archers to take out other archers and ballista crews and then other groups of archers detailed to take out the leaders. ============================================================================ Go to http://lists.ansteorra.org/lists.html to perform mailing list tasks.

Elizabeth Sanchez
Bronx, N.Y.
Class Of: 2016
Campus: Manhattan
Major: Business Administration/Management, B.S.
I am Elizabeth Sanchez, and I was born and raised in the South Bronx. I have a passion for running, and through running I have learned that anything is possible as long as you find your inner strength to accomplish your goal. The reason why I chose NYIT is because of its small campus. I liked that NYIT had a few buildings and was easy to get around. Not only that, but its location is great! I felt comfortable and knew that my professors would be able to have a one-on-one meeting with me and remember me in class. I chose to major in Business Management because I would like to one day open up my own business. I feel that the education and knowledge that I receive from NYIT will help me to achieve that goal. There were many reasons why I chose NYIT, but one is the most important of them all—HEOP! HEOP is a program in which I receive financial and educational assistance. Without HEOP, I wouldn't be attending college or be able to dream of opening a business.
Since I have been a student at NYIT, I have been able to make the best of my time. I was an Orientation Leader and was able to assist in welcoming new students to the college. I knew how scared new incoming students would feel, and I wanted to make their transition a lot easier. Along with that, I am an Orientation Leader and First Year Mentor. I have to keep new students informed about events that are happening on our campus and be a resource for them. I am also very proud to say that I am part of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority. Through Alpha Sigma Tau, I am able to meet new friends and be part of events along with a great team. Soon enough, I am planning on opening my own running/fitness club here on the Manhattan Campus. Aside from all the great positions I hold in different student organizations and clubs, I also work in the Office of the Registrar helping with transfer credits and registration.

Introducing the most awkward handshake in soccer history
Looking for a highlight from Monday's highly-anticipated match between Manchester United and Chelsea? Good luck. What was billed as a potential classic between two Premier League title favorites turned out to be a dull, goalless draw.
The best that came out of the heavyweight matchup was this series of Getty Images, which caught the most awkward prematch handshake humanly possible between Jose "The Special One" Mourinho, and United boss David Moyes, dubbed by home fans as "The Chosen One."
Moyes: "Uhh, what are you doing?"
Mourinho: "I don't know, but it's too late to change it now."
Moyes: "Well, this is awkward. I'm sure nobody on social media will mock us for this."
To put the clumsy handshake into context, the relationship between Mourinho and Moyes has soured as of late, with Chelsea's transfer pursuit of United star Wayne Rooney being the main reason behind the squabble:

Cincinnati City Council did the right thing by not laying off city workers. Now is not the time to have more people unemployed, and the cost to the taxpayers is minimal when one considers the cost of unemployed city workers receiving unemployment compensation, food stamps and Medicaid. The only chance for the economy to improve is to keep as many people employed as long as possible.
The council is also working on reducing health care benefits for retired workers, and reduce future health care and pensions for new hires that will bring them more in line with the private sector.
Despite all the rancor between council the members, they managed to make the right decisions for the city and its workers.

He helped bring the women from a 12th-place finish in the 2007 season to a seventh-place finish in the 2008 season at the conference championships. The men also improved from 10th to eighth-place. He also coached two All-Conference freshmen in Jemeli Sang and James Jackson, and helped coach Emily Tangwar take first-place among 311 other female runners in the Eye Opener Invitational.
In his first year, he helped coach Emily Tangwar to a second-place finish at the Atlantic Sun Conference Cross Country Championships, helping her earn Freshman of the Year honors. He also directed the men's cross country team to a 10th-place finish at the A-Sun Championships in the 12-team meet.
In the winter, Schlichter helped tutor Tangwar on her way to Most Outstanding Freshman and Most Outstanding Runner at the Atlantic Sun Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships. Tangwar became the first athlete in school history to be crowned A-Sun Champion, doing so in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters and the mile run.
Schlichter came to Upstate after serving as assistant coach for the cross country and track programs at Charlotte for two years. As assistant coach with the 49ers, he helped lead the men's and women's track squads to the 2006 Atlantic 10 Indoor and Outdoor Track championship. The women's team repeated as indoor and outdoor champions in 2007.
Prior to his stint as an assistant coach at Charlotte, Schlichter was a distance runner for the 49ers' cross country and track teams from 2000-05. He had a standout career with the 49ers and ranks among the top 10 all-time in several distance categories at the school. He was a seven-time All-Conference selection, earning five awards in track and two in cross country. He was named the Conference USA Male Athlete of the Year for cross country in 2004, the first in school history. He also earned team Most Valuable Player honors in 2004 for both cross country and track. He helped lead Charlotte to the conference championship in indoor track in 2001 and the league title in cross country in 2002, the first conference championship for both programs in school history.
Schlichter has remained active in running events since completing his eligibility at Charlotte. He ran in the USATF Houston Aramaco half marathon in 2006 and finished as the 29th fastest American with a time of 1:07.08. Running at the USATF 20k Championships in New Haven, Conn., Schlichter finished as the 16th fastest American with a time of 1:03.42. He has also competed in the 2007 Boston Marathon and the 2006 Chicago Marathon.
A native of Chambersburg, Pa., Schlichter was a standout on the cross country team at Chambersburg High School. As a senior he finished seventh at the PIAA 3A state cross country championships in 1999 and represented Pennsylvania at the Mid-East Championships. He graduated from UNC Charlotte in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in English and a minor in communications.

ARLINGTON (AP) – Vernon Wells hit the first of the Angels' five solo home runs and had an RBI triple to back up Ervin Santana pitching on short rest in Los Angeles' 8-4 victory over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
Mike Trout and Bobby Wilson, the last two hitters in the lineup, both went deep in the fourth off C.J. Wilson (13-6), who gave up a career-worst four homers. Peter Bourjos also homered off the Texas starter.
Santana (10-9) pitched with only three days of rest for the first time in his career, giving up four runs and four hits over seven innings.
Los Angeles (72-60) is within two games of the division lead.
David Murphy homered for the Rangers (75-59), who have lost seven of 10.
