George Zimmerman not guilty: What's next?
ORLANDO, Fla. – As many Americans awoke Sunday to news that a jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in Trayvon Martin's death, legal commentators, activists and the public were asking: What's next?
What will George Zimmerman's next steps be? What will Martin's family do?
"He is still processing the reality or notion of being a free man," Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., told CNN. "He has some decompressing to do, and he has to align himself with himself again as the free George."
Martin's father, Tracy Martin, took to Twitter in the moments after the verdict.
"Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY," he wrote.
After deliberating for 15 hours over two days, the six-member Seminole County jury found Zimmerman acted in self-defense when he shot Martin to death on Feb. 26, 2012, in a Sanford gated community.
Their verdict, reached about 10 p.m. local time Saturday, came after a weekslong trial.
The focus now seems to be shifting to rallies and events in upcoming days and an examination of both Florida law and a Justice Department investigation of the case.
On NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, the Rev. Al Sharpton questioned Florida's "stand your ground" law, saying he considers it an "atrocity" than an unarmed child could be killed and the shooter successfully claim self-defense.
"Clearly, there are grounds for civil-rights charges here," Sharpton said. The verdict, he added, "does not exhaust the legal options of this family."
Zimmerman's defense argued he acted in self-defense when he shot Martin, 17, because the teenager punched him in the nose and hammered his head against the sidewalk.
The NAACP is holding its national conference in Orlando this week. While leaders said they would not have a presence in Sanford before the verdict, they weighed in after it was reached.
"We are outraged and heartbroken over today's verdict," NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a written statement. "We stand with Trayvon's family, and we are called to act. We will pursue civil-rights charges with the Department of Justice, we will continue to fight for the removal of Stand Your Ground laws in every state, and we will not rest until racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed."
NAACP Florida State Conference President Adora Obi Nweze said "justice did not prevail."
"Last year we pushed for the arrest of George Zimmerman and a thorough investigation and trial. Today, we are still called to act," she said. "No one should be allowed to use this law to commit a senseless crime again."

Thursday is Feature-Freeze for Ubuntu 9.10
Whoever wants their favorite features integrated into Karmic Koala will have to hurry. From Thursday, the impending Ubuntu will accept no more changes.
The feature freeze primarily concerns developers and maintainers of single packages. Any large changes will have to be made in the source code by Wednesday, latest, writes Steve Langasek on the Ubuntu Announce List. Package changes after the deadline will have to be filed as bugs in Launchpad.
The last few days before the freeze have seen Ubuntu developers buzzing about the Pidgin issue. The free instant messenger has been replaced by Empathy in the new Ubuntu 9.10.- a decision that has not pleased all Ubuntu users. The latest version of Pidgin now comes with web cam support, a feature that has always given Empathy the edge over Pidgin. So, until Thursday, there is still a slim chance that Pidgin may well remain the default IM client, with Empathy waiting eagerly in the wings.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 3/4/13
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin football coach Gary Andersen spent considerable time putting together his nine-man coaching staff since his hire in December. Just last week, it appeared he had finally completed the exhaustive search with the addition of a wide receivers coach. But Andersen barely had time to breathe a sigh of relief before the hunt began anew, when tight ends and special teams coordinator Jay Boulware left last Friday for the same position at Oklahoma -- seven weeks after being hired at Wisconsin. On Monday, Andersen met with reporters for the first time since Boulware's exit. And he did not hold back his dismay at how events transpired. "It's my fault," Andersen said. "It's disappointing. It's upsetting. I brought the wrong guy in here. We'll be better off as we move forward." Andersen said his goal was to hire a coach by the start of spring practices, when begins on Saturday. He expects to bring in someone with experience coaching both tight ends and special teams. Current Badgers secondary coach Bill Busch led the special teams unit at Utah State in Andersen, but because this staff has four defensive coaches and five offensive coaches, Andersen would prefer an offensive coach handle special teams. Although Andersen blamed himself, he admitted there was no way of knowing Boulware would renege on his commitment to Wisconsin. What would Andersen have done differently in the hiring process? "As I look back, really nothing," Andersen said. "Absolutely nothing. It caught me completely off guard. Surprising. There's time and there's structure and there's departure. That's part of college football. But the timing of this was something that I thought I had handled, and I thought I had addressed throughout the hiring process. "I don't know how I would have stopped it or could have stopped it. As I move forward, I can't really even say I've learned anything that I would prepare myself different or I'll handle an interview different." Andersen declined to discuss the reasons Boulware gave for leaving. "Jay's got his own world, and I don't want to start all that stuff, so I'll probably say something I shouldn't say," he said. "So I'm just going to shut up. It's just easier for me to be in that position." Andersen did say he learned of Boulware's departure just hours before Oklahoma made the announcement official. By that time, there was little he could do to keep Boulware -- not that he would have pushed the issue anyway. "I will never beg a coach to stay," Andersen said. "And I feel the same way in recruiting. I'm never going to beg a kid to come to Wisconsin. If you don't want to be here and you have something you think is better, then so be it. I'll voice my opinion of why I think you're wrong and the direction that you're heading, and it may compromise a relationship between me and whoever, and I'm OK with that. That doesn't bother me a bit. "I'm here for the University of Wisconsin. I'm here to make everybody proud of the football program on and off the field. If I've got a coach or a player that doesn't want to buy into that, then so be it. Move along because there's a lot of people that would love to be a part of it." Budmayr done: The college football career of Wisconsin quarterback Jon Budmayr has finally come to an end. Budmayr, who has not thrown a pass in a game since 2010, will become a volunteer student coach, according to Andersen. "He's excited about that and so are we," Andersen said. "It's a great opportunity for a young man that may want to turn around and coach one day. That's where he is. He'll use that window of opportunity." Budmayr suffered nerve damage in his throwing elbow in 2011, and despite repeated attempts to make a comeback, couldn't overcome the injury. He appeared in three games in 2010 and completed 8 of 10 passes for 134 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Positional challenges: Although Andersen refrained from discussing specific players before spring practices begin, he did pinpoint three position groups as having the biggest challenge in the Badgers' new scheme. He said the cornerbacks would need to adjust to playing more man coverage, while the wide receivers will have to increase their physicality to create separation against man coverage. Andersen also said the team's linebackers would need to adjust to shifting between an odd front and an event front on defense. The Badgers will operate more out of a 3-4 defensive formation under the new coaching staff. Previously, they had played in a 4-3 defense. Urban planning: Andersen said Ohio State coach Urban Meyer's comments regarding the Big Ten's need to step up its recruiting efforts was much ado about nothing. Meyer told a Columbus radio station in February that he intended to speak to the league's coaches at an upcoming Big Ten meeting about improving recruiting. "Our whole conversation needs to be, 'How do we recruit?' " Meyer said at the time. "When you see 11 of the SEC teams in the top 25 in recruiting, that is something we need to continue to work on and improve." Andersen said Meyer told him the comments were "taken out of context." "It was not an issue at all," Andersen said. "I think we all want to compete and recruit at a very, very high level. We're all excited about doing that. To my knowledge, there was no falling out or any issues with that whatsoever with any of the coaches in the Big Ten." Follow Jesse Temple on Twitter.

I have played in cover bands for 20 years. I always have a hard time keeping a drummer. So I decided to take that into my own hands with with Cakewalk software, my iPhone, and a drum set of my own. I wanted something to basically lay down tracks. I had my former drummer come over and we were completely surprised with the product. Stock heads are a little flat but very serviceable. With a nice set of REMO heads, this would be an excellent set. Truly impressed.

Comments about PDP Z5 Complete Drum Set with Hardware and Cymbals:
I am not a drummer at all. My 9 year old son has been asking for a set of drums for 2 years and has promised it won't sit and collect dust. I have played bass or sang or both in rock bands throughout my life(nothing serious)and decided to start learning guitar at 40 and buying all the cool loud shiny rock n' roll guitar things has got him wanting to play drums.
So after a couple years of him asking, his mom finally gave in. After looking at sets from between S600-S800 with some including cymbals and some not I thought just go cheap in case he flakes out. The shells with the heads and hardware all came Friday so I put the toms and bass drum together while the snare was assembled...had to wait for the rest of my order to come on Monday before we ad it all. Really nice solid set and he fits behind them. Will get better heads when they go b/c they're cheap & add cymbals if he sticks with it. Nice Metal Grey finish is cool but not too flashy. Also got baffles-needed...might put pillow in bass drum. Pedals are not fancy but are solid aluminum and should last for awhile if I keep up tightening bolts. That's not to say I have had issues yet...all the bolts and mounting are really solid. I have only had it complete for a day but know enough to know that for the money as a starter kit for anyone. Put better quality heads on it and add a couple nice cymbals and you're rockin'!

A well done movie about the importance of religious freedom in light of the Christeros movement in Mexico. If you are at all interested in understanding this documented fight for freedom to worship as your heart dictates, then read the companion book to the movie (by Ruben Quezada) to get a real solid understanding of the details of this troubling period in Mexican history. It can happen again, even here in the US. It starts with subtle changes and takes hold and can grow out of control. Never take your freedom to worship for granted.
This is an excellent film for adults down to about middle school. This is a true story of the Cristeros in Mexico with lead actors Andy Garcia and Eva Longoria. It is a bit bloody, but the story of these brave people who were marytryed for their faith is long memorable. It is truly moving to watch the movie then see at the end the photos of the real martyrs - including a young boy who is the star. He and others are being cannonized as saints for their heroism.
Great movie. Even in those days people fought for Christianity, I wish that people would do the same today. Because this is what we need now a days. Thank you God!
It.s a greate mobie. Must see it
Great movie
What a relevant movie for our own time! Amazing the courage of a young man for the love of God!
Moving beyond belief.

147 break[edit]
The 147 referred to in the article appears to have been at the Riley Club, Gorseinon, Wales. I can find no mention of his opponent, and this doesn't appear to be an "official" 147, so I suspect that Andy's CV has been sexed up a little. A video is available online (http://www.keekedesignstudio.co.uk/keekedesignstudio/photogallery/AndyHicks.html) showing the end of a 147 he made in an exhibition - apparently one of two on the same evening, although whether the pockets were of championship size is doubtful, given the scores for the evening. I'd suggest that this claim be replaced by his highest break in a professional tournament (137?). --Nyelvmark (talk) 17:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

The 70-foot-long catamaran has been a few years in the building process and will be on the hard for the next few months while personnel at Platypus and Raymond make some modifications to the original design, complete the finish carpentry and install additional electronic gear.
Wave Walker hails from Newark, Ohio, as does Raymond. It was there that he grew up on the family farm.
His youthful endeavors included fishing, and it was while pursuing this pastime that he developed a fascination for the "stuff that grows in the water."
He graduated from Marietta College in the early 1980s with a degree in petroleum engineering and spent five years in Santa Maria, Calif., working for Union Oil.
Raymond was then transferred by the company to Alaska, where he worked in Kenai and Anchorage.
By the summer of 1993, he had married Cathy, an Ohioan with a degree in biology from Bowling Green State University who shared his interest in all things below the water's surface, and he also received his last career posting — to Bangkok, Thailand.
As Raymond pursued his career in Bangkok, Cathy taught at the Ruamrudee International School.
Vacations for them were an opportunity to go on diving trips to the Red Sea, Indonesia and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
Eventually, Cathy started a dive club at the school. What began as a weekend outing for a handful of students and chaperones quickly grew to enthusiastic groups of 50 or more children and adults who, for a dozen years, participated in live-aboard diving and exploration excursions in the waters of southeast Asia.
Through their experiences with the dive club and their time aboard the various boats, Raymond and Cathy decided that they wanted to live aboard a vessel of their own.
Raymond said that Wave Walker is designed to be their home for many years to come.
She has a master suite and a guest suite, a fitness room, crew quarters and lots of storage. She is powered by twin Cummins QSB 5.9 diesel engines, and also has twin gen-sets.
The Walkers hope to be homeward bound in the spring, and heading south to Mexican waters, and catching the weather window through the South Pacific into Southeast Asia to Bangkok.
Neither currently has the requisite experience to pilot the boat in open seas, and the couple will hire an experienced crew to take their home . . . home.
However, there will come a time — very soon, I suspect — that Raymond and Cathy will feel very comfortable aboard their boat, guiding themselves throughout Southeast Asia and exploring "stuff that grows in the water."
Visiting lifeboat
The Canadian vessel Steveston Lifeboat 2B-02 was moored to a float at Port Angeles City Pier last Tuesday.
She is a 53-foot wooden vessel operated by the Canadian Lifeboat Institution, a volunteer organization that gives education programs that promote safe boat practices and provides equipment and personnel for search-and-rescue efforts.
The boat is permanently stationed at the fishing port of Steveston, about 10 miles south of Vancouver, B.C., on the Fraser River.
She was built by the U.S. Navy in Pearl Harbor in 1944 and was the admiral's barge for Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz during his tenure in Hawaii.
The next few decades are a bit hazy until John Horton, a former Royal Navy man and artist from England, purchased her in 1988, naming her Artist's Life.
In 1994, Horton joined the Canadian Lifeboat Institution, and in 2002, the boat received her current name.
The lifeboat can be viewed this weekend at the 36th annual Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend, and her captain continues to be Horton, who uses the boat as a research vessel in furtherance of his marine art when she is not in use by the Canadian Lifeboat Institution.
Passing by
One of the treats of living on the North Olympic Peninsula's northern coast is seeing ships transiting the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Capt. Bill Larson, the former full-time master aboard the tall ship Lady Washington who also spent two years as one of the captains on the Port Townsend-based educational schooner Adventuress, sent me an email showing the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis passing by Port Angeles (see gallery).
Capt. Bill's grandson is a petty officer aboard the recently deployed carrier.
Bill said that he was able to stand on his porch and watch the ship head west for the open seas on her way to San Diego to pick up her air wing.
Large yacht
Early last week, I saw the luxury yacht Luna heading east to Seattle.
Luna, at 377 feet long, is the world's largest expedition yacht (by comparison, the MV Coho ferry is 341 feet).
She was built by Lloyd Werft and Stahlbau Nord Shipyards in Germany for Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire, and was launched in 2010.
My wife and I were on the Bainbridge Island ferry (460 feet long) last Wednesday, and we saw the yacht moored at Pier 91 in Smith's Cove on Elliott Bay.
Luna is one of five yachts that Abramovich owns, and they are often referred to as Abramovich's Navy.
Among his yacht holdings is Eclipse, the largest yacht in the world at 536 feet long. That distinction may be short-lived because a Middle Eastern billionaire is having a 590-foot yacht named Azzam built by German yacht builder Lurssen.
Water over the side
I recently received an unusual number of emails and phone calls questioning why water was draining from hoses that were draped over the side of the crude oil tanker Alaskan Frontier while she was anchored in Port Angeles Harbor.
This topic was discussed a couple of months ago, but we'll give it another go.
Whenever work of any type is to be performed inside a ship's petroleum cargo tanks, the toxic air within those tanks must be replaced with clean, fresh, breathable air.
Because of the potential for a spark to set off an explosion within that environment, electric fans are not an option.
Therefore, a fan was developed that uses the water pressure from the vessel's pressurized fire-suppression system.
Fans are placed where needed, and a water hose — typically a fire hose — is hooked to the inlet side of the fan. Another hose is hooked to the outlet side of the fan, which is then draped over the side of the ship.
When the water is turned on, it runs through the inlet side of the fan, causing it to spin — thus replacing toxic air with that which is fit for human consumption.
The water then exits the fan on the outlet side and is discharged over the side of the ship.
In the case of the Alaskan Frontier, she was undergoing her annual Critical Area Inspection Program (CAIP).
Contractors were inspecting the tanks for cracks using nondestructive inspection methods.
In the older tankers, the cargo tanks are filled with water, and inspectors are put into a boat to inspect the tanks. This process is called rafting the tanks.
In the newer tankers, catwalks are built along the interior perimeter of the cargo tanks, and inspectors can now walk the tanks.
Topside repairs
The SeaRiver Maritime oil tanker Sierra moored to the Port of Port Angeles' Terminal 1 North last week.
According to Chandra "Hollywood" McGoff of Washington Marine Repair, the topside ship-repair company on the waterfront, personnel replaced a handful of valves and performed some welding tasks on various areas of the piping.
The 831-foot crude oil tanker that was known as Kenai when she was operated by the Alaska Tanker Co. left port and was replaced at Terminal 1 North on Saturday by the 869-foot crude oil tanker Kodiak.
In the harbor on Friday, Tesoro Petroleum provided bunkers to Kodiak, also operated by SeaRiver Maritime, which is a subsidiary of ExxonMobil.
Tesoro on Saturday refueled British Courage, a 755-foot liquid petroleum gas carrier that is flagged in the United Kingdom.
Today, Tesoro is to bunker Alaskan Legend, the 941-foot ATC sister ship to the Alaskan Frontier, and the Crowley-owned articulated tug and barge Vision.

learned about this via a friend, so i just downloaded, installed, and activated this plugin.
voila! the ad rotate short codes now can be used just like i can use them in posts, pages, and widgets. nice and simple!

I installed Fancybox (jQuery lightbox implementation) plugin on my site running the Highwind theme.
The Fancybox would work, but theme's scroll-to-top link would not appear anymore.
Turns out this is a jQuery conflict.
Fancybox is loading jQuery AFTER it has already been loaded by Highwind.
The Highwind implementation of jQuery uses the noConflict function, which is then removed/overwritten when the Fancybox jQuery is loaded.
My solution:
- Delete the script tag that loads jQuery for Fancybox. This means that Fancybox is now using the jQuery loaded by Highwind.
- In my javascript block that calls the Fancybox, replace "$" with "jQuery". I made 2 replacements.
Now the Fancybox works and the scroll-to-top appears and works.
It appears that by using "noConflict" in your version of jQuery, any other plugin loading jQuery will break theme functions such as scroll-to-top.
Have you implemented jQuery in the theme correctly?

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
High Blood Pressure - What Happens
Healthy arteries have smooth inner walls. Your blood flows through them without a problem. The blood vessels stay strong and flexible.
But when you have high blood pressure, blood flows through your arteries with too much force, even though you can't feel it. Over time, this pressure damages the walls of your arteries . They aren't smooth anymore. They get rough spots on them where fat and calcium start to build up. This buildup is called plaque (say "plak").
Plaque is part of atherosclerosis, sometimes called "hardening of the arteries." Over time, the plaque narrows the artery and blocks blood flow through it.
Atherosclerosis makes your arteries narrower. It also makes them stiffer. Blood can't flow through them as easily. This lack of good blood flow starts to damage some of the organs in your body.
This damage doesn't happen all at once. It happens slowly over time. But you can't tell that it's happening, because you don't feel anything. It can lead to:
- Coronary artery disease and heart attack.
- Heart failure.
- Stroke.
- Kidney failure.
- Peripheral arterial disease.
- Eye damage (retinopathy) that can lead to vision loss and blindness.

A Western Kentucky woman has been charged with criminal abuse after authorities found her seven children malnourished and living without water and electricity.
Andrea Lynch of Briensburg was arrested the night of July 2, 2007. Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Byars said the children, ranging in age from eleven months to 11-years-old, were living in an old mobile home and two nearby campers.
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Service's Division of Protection and Permanency asked the sheriff's department to investigate on June 29.
Sheriff Byars said there was no food in the house and water and electricity had been cut off. He said the children were evaluated at Marshall County Hospital and found to be malnourished.
All seven children were placed in Foster care.

What is a long-tail market?
Long-tail markets fascinate me. The long tail, a term popularized by Chris Anderson in this Wired article, refers to a market in which there's the opportunity to sell a large number of things with relatively small quantities of each, typically by widening the pool of potential buyers beyond local demand. The Internet is the main driving force of long-tail markets, as suppliers of these more unique items are now able to tap into buyers via online marketplaces (aided by the fact that they no longer have to maintain the costs of physical spaces for their goods or services).
In his article, Anderson used the now classic example of how Amazon opened up the long-tail book market, discussing how the Internet supports a market for previously limited-run titles by suddenly finding them an audience.
Today, we've seen the Amazon example played out in thousands of new long-tail markets — the Internet has thrown open the doors to distributed global demand so that suppliers of goods and services can find demand beyond traditional local markets. There's Netflix for movies, Zappos for shoes, Etsy for crafts (where I bought a custom bandana from Hungary last month), and the list goes on. However, most of the common examples of long-tail markets refer to consumer goods. We need to evolve our thinking as adoption of Internet marketplaces matures.
Is a similar long-tail market emerging in the labor market?
What if the long tail phenomenon spread to a more advanced market, one that would bring a broader economic impact? In other words, what if it spread to the world of work? As oDesk approached $1 billion cumulative spent hiring via our site (a landmark we announced today), I wondered if the long tail was taking hold in our Internet-based marketplace for work (also known as an "online workplace"). With the Internet opening up access to businesses and professionals worldwide, I hypothesized that plotting oDesk skills data would show a long tail.
You can guess what we found. Before going into the methodology, I'll jump right to the result, which was the following "oDesk Skills Long Tail Chart ":
How did we create this chart and what does it mean?
The oDesk Skills Long Tail Chart is based on data from oDesk's own database — specifically the skills that were listed in jobs posted on the site during the month of May 2013. This chart is therefore a snapshot of a month on oDesk.
The axes for our long tail chart are:
• X axis = "rank" (in this case, rank based on how many times each particular skill was mentioned in job posts)
• Y axis = "count" (in this case, total number of jobs posted with this skill listed in them)
As an example of rank and count on oDesk, suppose we had just three skills. This is a mock example of how it could work, with count determining rank:
• Writing: Count = 100, Rank #1
• Programming: Count = 50, Rank #2
• Design: Count = 25, Rank #3
The resulting curve shows how concentrated (or not) our market is. The area under the curve approximates the volume of work (in our case, this is approximate because many job posts list multiple skills). For oDesk's market, the fact that there is substantial area beneath the fairly low-ranked skills is indicative of a long-tail phenomena — our market fulfills substantial demand for these specialized skills.
How do we really know a long-tail work market is emerging on oDesk?
This chart only reflects one month's data so it's fair to question, but the pattern held true for every slice and dice of our market data we looked at over the past year. And looking at the chart itself, you can see the classic pattern of more "mass market" offerings to the top left (like website development, SEO, and creative writing). As you continue down the tail, you see increasingly specialized skills (like civil engineering, econometrics, and legal services).
Rounding out our investigation, we looked at two other things:
Skills concentration over time: In 2007, just 4 "mass-market" skills represented 90% of work done on oDesk. Last year, 35 skills accounted for the same percentage of work on oDesk and 41 other specialized skills were emerging rapidly.
The value of specialized skills: When we looked at the list of top-paying skills on oDesk, we saw that demand for specialized skills has an added bonus — they dominated the list of highest-paid professionals. Examples of these top skills include legal services, a myriad of specialized programming languages and approaches (like Cocoa and rspec), cloud server setup skills, and even startup consulting.
What does this mean for the job market?
Now that online workplaces exist, there's more opportunity than ever for businesses to find specialists, and vice versa. The long-tail work market on oDesk benefits both sides:
Businesses can find the specific skills they need in order to be more productive. This is especially the case for startups. Traditionally, companies have only been able to justify hiring someone if the team continuously needs at least 40 hours a week of work. Among early-stage businesses, these full-time roles can be difficult to justify, yet the need for a skill may be acute. Now, they can find workers with the skills they need, and fill roles flexibly by hiring online (using the cloud for work just as they already do for server space).
Meanwhile, specialized workers can pursue their expertise with increasing confidence that they'll be able to tap into ample global demand, banishing local market limitations. Take oDesk freelancer Stan Smith, for example, who specializes in developing algorithms for clients. Stan has been working on his specialty for more than three decades, but said it was difficult for him to find the sort of unique opportunities that were a fit for his expertise. Now, by working online and tapping into global demand for his skills, he's turning away projects. In fact, Bloomberg recently discussed the increase in demand for data scientists; writing, "One measure of demand: Hours billed for work in statistical analysis grew by 522 percent in the first quarter [of 2013] compared with the same period in 2011, according to data compiled for Bloomberg by oDesk."
This all ties back to 18th century economic theory from Adam Smith, who said that the degree of specialization you can have depends on the extent of the market. Long before the time of Internet marketplaces and Amazon, he used the analogy of a pin factory. If you can only sell 100 pins a day, he said, it doesn't make much sense to hire a lot of narrowly focused people. If, however, you can sell to the whole world, it makes complete sense to hire more specialists who provide a specific skill that will increase the business' overall productivity.
As the online work market grows, the opportunities for businesses and specialized workers will continue to grow with it. Not since the Industrial Revolution have we seen such rapid disruption in the labour market. We expect the long tail phenomenon on oDesk to only grow as an increasing share of the world's professionals turn online to find markets for any skill they choose to pursue.

Hey there,
My website is http://www.theminiplanetvoice.com and we have currently been having some problems.
I am unable to move widgets, and the upload buttons which i use to upload logos, backgrounds, etc. in the main theme panel do not work. As well as this, when creating posts and pages, the hyperlink button does not work as well as the button which switches to HTML view.
This is a few of many problems which we have been experiencing.
I have installed a new theme to the website, and ran a virus scan, and both have not made a difference.
This is impacting badly on the website as no website, means no hits. And because of this, we have had to put the website under maintenance which isnt beneficial to us or our users.
Help and advice is deeply appreciated.

MORELIA, Mexico (September 26, 2013)--Police have found three human heads in a roundabout near a small town in western Mexico where "self-defense" vigilantes have clashed with drug traffickers.
The heads were left along with a note near the town of Los Reyes, Michoacan state prosecutors said, but they wouldn't reveal the content of the message and didn't identify the victims.
Authorities said the heads found Thursday belong to males and that all had bullet wounds.
Self-defense squads have been formed in recent months in Michoacan by people who say they are fighting violence, kidnappings and extortion carried out by drug cartels.
Last month, police found the bodies of two men hanging from a tree in the town of Los Reyes along with a message threatening the community's self-defense group.

Markets |
* U.S. crude oil briefly dips below $90 * MSCI world share index just under June 2008 high * Yen hits week low versus greenback By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK, March 6 The blue-chip Dow Jones index extended its record-breaking run on Wednesday and world stock markets edged higher led by strong gains in Asia, while the euro slid against the dollar a day before a European Central Bank meeting. U.S. data showing a steady manufacturing sector and surprisingly strong gains in private employment supported equity markets. Stocks, despite record highs, are still at attractive valuations, analysts said. The U.S. dollar extended gains against the euro and the yen. Bets that the ECB at its policy meeting on Thursday could signal future interest-rate cuts pressured the euro. The Bank of Japan will begin a two-day meeting on Thursday, but it is expected to hold its fire this week. The market is turning its attention to the BoJ's April 3-4 meeting, the first policy review under its new governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, who is an advocate of aggressive monetary easing. In late afternoon trading on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 57.83 points or 0.41 percent, to 14,311.6, the S&P 500 gained 3.62 points or 0.24 percent, to 1,543.41 and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.47 points or 0.01 percent, to 3,224.6. The Dow hit a record intraday high and the broader S&P 500 was 1.5 percent away from its all-time closing record. "I'm surprised at the speed of the gains," said Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Chicago-based Northern Trust Global Investments. "But stocks are still not expensive, and we can expect to continue getting a reasonable advance from here." The S&P 500 index is trading at 13.6 times estimated 12-month earnings, compared with around 14.9 times in October 2007, when the index hit the record high that was finally eclipsed on Tuesday, according to Thomson Reuters data. The price/earnings multiple suggests that stocks are still about 9 percent cheaper than they were at the 2007 peak. The MSCI world index rose 0.2 percent. The pan-European ESTOXX 50 slipped 0.1 percent, and the FTSEurofirst 300 fell 0.3 percent. Overnight in Asia, the Nikkei hit its highest in 4-1/2 years, helped by Tuesday's record high close on Wall Street and prospects of a reflationary policy in Japan to revive growth. EURO, TREASURIES WEAKEN The better-than-expected U.S. private-sector jobs figures reported by payrolls processor ADP on Wednesday dented the allure of Treasuries. The figures comes two days ahead of the government's closely watched monthly payrolls report. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was down 13/32, the yield at a seven-day high of 1.9409 percent. "We had ADP employment data today which surprised to the upside and that helped take (yields) higher," said Jake Lowery, Treasury trader at ING Investment Management in Atlanta. "We have got supply coming next week, right around the corner after payrolls, and it seems that with Treasuries trading in a pretty tight range lately, more and more market participants are focusing on small opportunities around the supply calendar." The U.S. Treasury is set to auction three-year and 10-year notes next week, along with 30-year bonds. The euro fell against the U.S. dollar ahead of the ECB meeting. "The market has turned dovish on the ECB and that kept the euro constrained," said Vassili Serebriakov, currency strategist at BNP Paribas in New York. "While most are expecting the ECB to keep rates steady, there are a few calls for a rate cut tomorrow, including our bank." The euro was down 0.45 percent against the greenback at $1.2991. The dollar also strengthened against the Japanese currency , hitting a one-week high above 94 yen. Copper slumped after a two-day rebound, weighed by uncertainty about metals demand in China, the world's top consumer, and economic growth in Europe. Three-month copper fell 0.85 percent to $7,706 a ton, erasing initial gains that took it above $7,812. Areas of concern for the global economy remain, including the Chinese government's move to cool the country's overheated property market, the possible economic impact of U.S. spending cuts and political deadlock in Italy. Brent oil pared losses to fall 0.5 percent, near $111 a barrel, while U.S. crude briefly slipped below $90, before settling down 0.4 percent at $90.43. U.S. crude oil inventories rose more than forecast last week while distillates stocks fell more than expected as refinery utilization rates posted a surprise drop, data from the Energy Information Administration showed on Wednesday. Gold rose in late trading on expectations central banks would maintain loose monetary policy, but still in the tight range the price has kept in recent sessions. Spot gold was up 0.4 percent $1,581.51 an ounce.

Pain Management Health Center
MRI Shows That Acupuncture Treatments Reduce Pain
Dec. 1, 1999 (Chicago) -- Sticking an acupuncture needle into a point in the hand greatly diminishes the amount of brain activity associated with pain impulses, doctors report at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
In a series of experiments, researchers tell WebMD, the proper placement of the fine acupuncture needle in the area between the thumb and forefinger, called the Hegu point, allowed subjects to tolerate greater amounts of pain. And pictures of the brain before and after acupuncture treatment show dramatic decreases in brain activity -- up to 70%.
"It is important for Western medicine to recognize that these acupoints really mean something in regard to pain relief," says Huey-Jen Lee, MD, associate professor of clinical radiology and director of neuroradiology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark. Acupoints are certain points on the body that, when pressed or punctured, have beneficial effects for certain ailments.
Lee reported on studies in which healthy subjects, men and women between the ages of 25 and 54, received pain stimuli while they were undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The simultaneous procedures allowed doctors to view how and where brain activity occurred without acupuncture and during acupuncture treatments.
When the experiments were repeated after insertion of the acupuncture needle at the commonly used Hegu point, pain levels as seen with the MRI were decreased. Of 12 subjects who underwent the procedure, nine experienced pain relief.
"The data is pretty impressive," Elvira Lang, MD, associate professor of radiology and medicine at Harvard Medical School, Boston, tells WebMD. She says the MRI pictures clearly show a reduction in pain activation. "This shows there really is something going on here." Lee says that because the MRI definitively shows brain activity, it was likely the increased tolerance to pain was real and not just an artifact of treatment, known as a placebo effect.
"The brain actually shows differences," Lee says, "and that is convincing."
Wen-Ching Liu, PhD, a co-author of the study, says, "We found activity subsided in 60-70% of the entire brain."

10 Ways The CW's "Riverdale" Cast Will Infuse Classic "Archie" with Scandal & Murder
TV, Comic Books
Mash-ups have become a staple of modern culture. From the mash-ups of music albums to movies and virtually anything else. But I think this here might be the best comic mash-up yet.
Created by Ryan Sohmer and Tyler Walpole for Sohmer's The Gutters webcomic series, it's a great idea in theory but Walpole's expert art here really shoots it over the top.
If you've not reading The Gutters, you're missing out — it's the closest thing the comics industry has gotten to editorial cartoons focused on our medium.

We just launched the Kickstarter for book 3 of Spinnerette!
We're offering the statues in my gallery here, take a gander.
Spinnerette Kickstarter! by KrazyKrowWatch
©2013-2016 KrazyKrow
hey i notice spinnerette usually sports a muscular look in her costume. i definitely love that. is that all her or the suit? and if its her, do we get to see more of her bod outta the suit?
The KS has international shipping options.
sweet, vol 1 and 2 were getting lonely on my shelf
Awww, ships only to the US
disregard my question. I saw the "add this much $ to add thing to reward tier" section.
awww, geez. $160 to get the book and both statues? I doubt I'll make that because I have to save for Otakon. ....also, why isn't there an option to get just book 3, both statues, and the shirt rather than all that plus books 1 and 2?

I bought a HP Pavilion and before I even powered it up I replaced the supplied hard drive with a flash drive and loaded Linux Mint onto it. The laptop didn't like the new OS, saying "Selected boot image did not Authenticate. Press Enter to Continue", but the solution was to disable Secure Boot.
I thought using Windows 8 elsewhere would be handy, and plugged the 2.5 SATA drive into a desktop computer (having removed all other drives) and the computer wouldn't boot. No error message. Just nothing.
Why can't I boot some other computer using the Windows 8 drive from my laptop?
Is there licensing and signing at work here? If I can't use this operating system, how much did I pay for it and how do I get my money back?

This has to be one of the very best Riad experiences in Marakech. I used the Riad for 6 days when going south to do some filming and returning to it, and then my wife joined me after my trip. Superb accommodation in an elegant and tastefully restored old riad. The souk and square are nearby and there are quite few good local restaurants to choose from within a stone's throw. Ask Audrey the pretty and elegant French owner to show you to her new local French restaurant that you can see from the riad's roof, relax in the morning as the sun comes up and have a light breakfast. Very quiet at night, apart from the call to Prayers echoing over the city at dawn. Audrey is the perfect host and can arrange anything you require, taxis, steam room saunas and food, her English is excellent. The riad has a wireless router that you can access and use Skype to call home. The level of cleanliness is high and all the plumbing works well. I will most certainly be going back there again, it's just the place for a quick executive weekend break. Ask Audrey for Azeddine Taxi and you'll be picked up in a comfy Mercedes (specify it). SuperCool break...and very safe location.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- In the very 'chic' Mouassine and Jema El Fnaa area, Riad Chraibi has been restored following Moroccan traditional style. This Medina old house is well known for its unique view of the Atlas mountains. From these terraces, drinks or dinners at sunset are real magical moments... "Just feel like at home" are Audrey and Paco's words. They naturally assist you in your choice of activities in and around Marrakesh, as they organize 4x4 trips. ... more less

The two drivers who died Thursday night on Back Beach Road in a head on collision have been identified.
Police say 22-year-old Brandon Lindsey Faust was driving west on Back Beach Road in a SUV when 43-year old Theresa Lynn Grunden who was driving a pick up collided with him head on.
Both are listed as Panama City Beach residents.
Beach police say Grunden had been at a gathering in the Summer Breeze subdivision and when she pulled out onto Back Beach Road; she mistakenly turned left and headed west in the east bound lanes of the four lane highway.
Initial reports say there were no skid marks as the SUV and the pick up collided around 9:30 Thursday night.
Police could not confirm reports that Grunden had been driving without her headlights.
Officers say that issue is under investigation.
