CFRNA ("The French-Romanian Company for Air Transport"; French: Compagnie franco-roumaine de navigation aérienne; Romanian: Compania franco-română de navigație aeriană), later CIDNA ("The International Air Navigation Company"; French: Compagnie internationale de navigation aérienne) was a French-Romanian airline, founded on January 1, 1920.
Using French-built Potez aircraft, the company provided passenger, mail and cargo transportation, by air, from Paris to Bucharest, via Strasbourg, Prague, Vienna and Budapest. As such, CFRNA was the first operative transcontinental airline in the history of aviation. The company also made the first passenger international night flight, between Belgrade and Bucharest in 1923. In 1925 CIDNA opened the first domestic Romanian route Bucharest - Galaţi, followed, from 24 June 1926, by an extended service to Iaşi and Chişinău.
In 1930, the Romanian arm adopted the name LARES (Liniile Aeriene Române Exploatate de Stat - State-Run Romanian Air Lines).[1] The company ceased to exist when it became one of the constituting companies of Air France on October 7, 1933.

The Undead is a collection of poems, in a general order that was inspired by my love for zombies, The Devil Wears Prada EP titled Zombie and of course Max Brook's Zombie Survival Guide. Unlike my Black Rose Killer series, this will not follow one story line. The poems will be placed in a logical order, based upon certain circumstances one would find living in an undead world.
Aug 08, 2011
Never heard of Zombie poems. These are really interesting. The last bit of 'siege of the undead' Load your guns, Its going to be a long night. Made me think of L4D.

Allentown[1] is a city in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is the third largest city in Pennsylvania, after Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Allentown is also the county seat of Lehigh County. As of a 2006 estimate, Allentown's population was 107,294. As of 2000, the population density was 6,011.5/mi²(2,320.8/km²). ContentsUnderstandAllentown was founded in 1762 by William Allen. It was then known as "Northampton Town." It was renamed "Allentown" in 1838 and it was formally incorporated as a city on March 12, 1867. Allentown has a large Latino/Hispanic population. Hispanics make up almost 25% of Allentown's population. GeographyAllentown lies on the Lehigh River. It is 338 feet above sea level. It is 60 miles north of Philadelphia, 90 miles west of New York City, and 80 miles east of Harrisburg. Allentown is only 15 miles west of the New Jersey state line. ClimateThe climate in Eastern Pennsylvania is unique in that it can be up to and over 100 degrees in the summer and get snow in the winter. Summers are always hot, with temperatures in the upper 80s and humidity is usually high, above 80 or 85%. Winters can be cold, with ice on the roads being a worse problem than snow, but it does snow. Some years the area will only get a few inches all season, with the last major blizzard in 1996, when Lehigh Valley saw over 2 feet of snow. Tourist Information
TalkEnglish is the dominant language in Allentown, but Spanish is also widely used. Outside of the area, you can find people speaking Pennsylvania Dutch. Other languages can be found here, such as Serian, Lebanese, Portuguese and Vietnamese.
Fun factsFamous people from AllentownAllentown is known nationally as the birthplace of several famous Americans, including:
Billy Joel's "Allentown"Allentown was the inspiration for the 1982 Billy Joel hit song "Allentown," which appeared originally on Joel's The Nylon Curtain album. The All American Rejects' "Move Along" videoThe video for the song "Move Along" by The All American Rejects was shot in Allentown and at Dorney Park in the city. Get inBy airThe primary and most convenient point of airline entry to Allentown and Lehigh Valley is Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE), which is less than 15 minutes away from most parts of the city. Various airlines operate out of this airport. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is a major international airport that is about 70 miles away. Since it is a hub for several national airlines, it is easy to obtain non-stop flights to Philadelphia International compared to ABE and usually cheaper. By car
By bus
The city is served by a regional bus service, LANTA, whose transportation center is located in downtown Allentown, providing convenient service to and from the center city. Every LANTA bus is equipped with a bike rack. Get aroundAllentown is relatively easy to navigate. Most of the city is easily walkable or bikeable. The main east-west streets are listed from north to south: Sumner, Whitehall, Greenleaf, Cedar, Washington, Green, Tilghman, Allen, Liberty, Gordon, Chew, Turner, Linden, Hamilton, Walnut, and Union. Numbered streets run from north to south. They begin towards the east at 1 and continue to 42. By busExtensive bus services are provided by Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANTA). [2] By cabSeveral cab companies also operate throughout Allentown and Lehigh Valley. These are:
By carMost visitors to Lehigh Valley will want to either rent a car or drive their own.
By bikeRiding a bike can also get you around in Allentown and its fabulous park system. Allentown is a city. When you ride it and park it, make sure you lock it. A Bike Line of Alllentown will rent bikes.[3] Little Lehigh Parkway and Jordan Creek Park are accessible to pedal through. Cyclists can access a trail head at Canal Park to get on the Tow Path to take them to Bethlehem and Easton. Allentown is known for its extensive trail and park systems. Of special interest to visitors will be the Bridle Path in Lehigh Parkway (stop to feed the fish in the Fish Hatchery, go to the Museum of Indian Culture or pedal along a trail that takes you to a covered bridge). On footThe main Allentown downtown area is small and easy to walk. You may want to park your car in one of the many garages and walk downtown. See
LearnAllentown is home to Muhlenberg College[25], Cedar Crest College[26] and the Donley Center, the downtown Allentown campus of Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC). Other colleges are located throughout Lehigh Valley. WorkThe largest employer in Allentown is Lehigh Valley Hospital, with over 7,800 workers. Other companies headquartered here are Air Products & Chemicals, LSI, St. Lukes Hospital, Blue Cross and PPL. Allentown was once an important manufacturing center in the region. Today, small scale manufacturing is still an important part of the local economy. Allentown is the county seat for Lehigh County. Downtown Allentown is an important employment center with approximately 15,000 people working there. Buy
DrinkAllentown is well known for its nightlife, and many Allentown clubs feature major New York City, Philadelphia and Allentown DJs and live bands. They include:
Stay safeAllentown is a generally safe city for its size. The entire downtown area is no place to walk around alone after dark. The Hamelton Mall area is ok, well lit and well patroled. Stay HealthyHospitalsIf you are in need of medical attention, here are some hospitals in the area:
RespectAs in many parts of the country, citizens may not want to share religious or political views. The area is becoming more diverse in race with many Spanish speaking citizens. ContactAllentown is a city where you must dial an area code when you place a call. Area codes in the Lehigh Valley are 610 and 484. Another overlay, 835, is planned, but is not active yet. You may still find some payphones on the street. CopeReligious ServicesWebsite for the Diocese of Allentown[122]

Demos Dominate Dole's New Firm
Bob Dole will become special counsel at a Washington law firm - Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson & Hand - whose partners include many prominent Democrats, the firm announced Wednesday.
Dole, the former Senate Republican leader and 1996 Republican presidential nominee, is also chairman of the campaign to raise money for a World War II memorial on the Mall.
The name partners of Verner, Liipfert include Berl Bernhard, who was Edmund Muskie's campaign manager when Muskie ran for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination; Harry C. McPherson Jr., who was special counsel to President Lyndon B. Johnson, and Lloyd Hand, who was chief of protocol in the Johnson White House.
Other Democrats affiliated with the firm include Lloyd Bentsen, the former senator and Treasury secretary; George Mitchell, the former Senate Democratic leader from Maine, and former Gov. James Blanchard of Michigan.
A spokeswoman for the firm, Rosemary Freeman, said Dole, 73, would work in the areas of taxation, health care and Social Security.
The term special counsel means that Dole will hold a senior position but will not be a partner, Freeman said.
The firm issued this statement from Dole:
"It's a long way from my first two-man law office in Russell, Kan., but with so many friends and former colleagues at Verner, Liipfert, I know I'll feel welcome. I'm looking forward to this nonpartisan reunion with George Mitchell and Lloyd Bentsen. The best part will be no filibusters, no cloture votes and no quorum calls. I'm eager to get to work at the firm, as well as continuing to lead the fund-raising campaign for the World War II Memorial and contributing to the public debate through speaking engagements around the country."

I'll be in Vegas for a week from 11/24-11/30. I'll be staying downtown at The 'Nugget. If anyone's interested in a meet-up for a session, I'll buy you a free drink.
Bad, Let's plan on getting together for at least a drink and a session. To hell with that, a few drinks and a few sessions. We will be at Palazzo 11/23 but leaving on the 27th or 28th. We should talk via PM to get names and numbers.
That'd be great. I'm a tea-totaler these days, but I've been known to indulge in a cup of coffee (or twelve) from time to time. I've been interested in your method of play, as well. Looking forward to it.

The number of searches conducted on Facebook surged over the past year, more than doubling to 647 million searches in the U.S. as of March. While their numbers still pale in comparison to the 10.5 billion searches generated on Google during the same month, Facebook's footprint in search is significant enough that many in the search community are beginning to sit up and take notice. More people are asking if Facebook is on its way to becoming a serious player in the search marketplace.
To evaluate its potential, it's illustrative to consider how search has evolved to the current point in time. Historically, three primary factors coalesce to drive change in the evolution of an emerging market: technology, marketing, and consumer behavior. As each of these factors evolves over time, new developments tend to occur in a symbiotic fashion.
To use a non-technology example as reference, think about Henry Ford's application of the assembly line to automobile manufacturing (technology) and the evolving relationship with both marketing and consumer behavior in the United States. Cars began to be mass produced (technology), driving down the price for entry and allowing even average citizens the opportunity to become owners and begin driving everywhere possible (consumer behavior). In order to address the driving demand, more and better roads/highways were built across the country, and as a result billboards and road side gas stations/shopping began to pop up (marketing), which in turn created more demand, fueling further investments in technology, lowering the price to the consumer even further to bring new consumers into the market.
At this point, our driving culture truly began to take shape and evolve into our relationship with our cars that we have today. The circular nature of these factors influencing one another becomes apparent.
A similar type of evolution can be seen when we look back at the maturation of the search marketplace. The Internet became widely available in the 1990s and consumers hit the web to consume information, interact socially, shop, and generally run their lives online. As this behavior progressed, marketers of all kinds began to spend dollars online.
Although search engines cropped up in the early days, the quality of results simply weren't good enough in the beginning to drive people to use search as their main channel for web navigation, and "portals" became the primary channel for exploration. It's not surprising given the early quality of results that we tended to search on more obtuse terms such as "shoes" or "news," which had little specificity.
With the launching of Google's PageRank technology, incredibly relevant search results launched a revolution in both marketing and consumer behavior that has forever changed our economic and behavioral landscape. Because this technology, pioneered by Google, generated more relevant results, searchers began to feel comfortable with extending the length of their search phrases, in effect being more specific about their needs.
On top of this developing consumer behavior, this evolution of specificity has encouraged innovation from marketers en masse. Marketer strategy continues to improve with well researched paid search campaigns and increasingly more optimized landing pages to accommodate these longer phrases.
The average number of words per search in the United States in March was nearly 3.2 words and it has been growing for some time. This is a far cry from our original limitations of "shoes" in order to now search for and find a pair of "nike air jordans."
What this trend illustrates is that as the technology and sophistication of search results gain, consumers have learned to adapt their searching behavior to reflect the increased specificity the results will convey. This change in behavior enables them to inch closer to a result that reflects the true, original intent of their search. But increasingly there is new information available on the web — especially as it relates to one's social graph — that offers potential for even greater specificity; one that filters results through the people, and not just the pages, of highest relevance to you.
In part two, we'll explore in greater detail exactly how searches on Facebook are evolving and what that might mean for the future of social search.

The National Football League suspended three players on Thursday. The players involved include Dallas Cowboys linebackers Rolando McClain, New York Jets defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, and free agent Johnny Manziel. NFL Network's own Ian Rapoport sums up today's news:
To round out today's suspensions — Manziel, Sheldon Richardson, Rolando, DeMarcus Lawrence — FA TE Cameron Clear was suspended 4 games
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 30, 2016
McClain has been suspended 10 games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy for the second time. He has been suspended four games to start the season just last year which was his first offense. McClain could end up forfeiting his $750,000 signing bonus due to his most recent suspension.
Richardson violated the league's personal conduct policy which will result in a one-game suspension to start the season. Richardson was arrested last July after driving 143 mph while having a 12-year old in the car. In order to avoid time in jail, he pleaded guilty and ended up getting probation instead.
The final player to be suspended is no other than "Johnny Football." Manziel has been suspended four games for violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. He would still be subject to the personal conduct policy if he gets another chance in the NFL.
Manziel also made news headlines recently after a woman who is staying in the Cabo house that Manziel is at, took a Snapchat of what appears to be cocaine in multiple little baggies. Manziel told TMZ that the drugs are not his and that he does not even know that girl. Manziel just admitted that he is going to get back in shape for the football season starting July 1st. This timing of this couldn't be better.

Bicycle Information
Riding a bike is one of the best ways to get around campus. If you choose to bike, and we hope you do, remember your bike is a vehicle. Just like a motorist, it is your responsibility to learn and obey the rules that apply to you as a cyclist.
Bicycle Maps
The campus bicycle map shows the locations of all the DIY bike fix-it stations, the student-managed bike shop Wildcat Wheels, and the nearest bike parking to your building.
View the interactive campus bicycle map.
Bicycle Facilities Map (PDF Format)
Plug-in Note: Download Adobe Reader for free to view PDF documents.
Check out Lexington's bike map (PDF) for the whole city layout of bike lanes, shared streets, multi-use paths, and preferred routes, in order to help better plan your commute. You can pick up a hard copy at Wildcat Wheels Bicycle Library or at any of the Parking and Transportation Services office locations.
Share The Road
Lexington and the University of Kentucky have partnered with the Share the Road campaign, which promotes safe and courteous interactions between bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists. For more information, visit www.uky.edu/pts/sharetheroad.
Bicycle Parking
Bicycle racks must be used at all times, and are located near most residence halls and classroom buildings. If you notice a need for more bike parking in a particular area of campus, submit a request via the Bike Rack Request Form.
How to Lock Your Bike
Lock your bike only to bike racks. Bikes damage trees, and can block access to buildings for those with disabilities. Bicycles locked to anything other than a rack may be cited or impounded.
Always lock up your bike, even if you will only be away from it for a minute. Use the best lock you can afford (preferably a U-lock, which can't be easily cut through with bolt cutters).
The lock should always go both around the bike frame and around the post, at minimum. If you have a quick-release wheel, your lock should also go through the wheel.
Watch this video from Wildcat Wheels on properly locking your bike:
Bicycle Friendly University
Bicycling in Lexington and around campus is becoming increasingly popular as an easy, efficient way to get around. UK's campus is located in the heart of the city, just minutes from downtown by bike, and other hubs of activity like Chevy Chase and Southland Drive.
The University of Kentucky has had the Silver-Level Bicycle Friendly University designation from the League of American Bicyclists since 2014. UK is one of just five universities in the state that has been recognized as bicycle friendly.
The Bicycle Friendly University program evaluates universities efforts to promote bicycling in five primary areas: engineering, encouragement, education, enforcement, and evaluation.
The City of Lexington has also been ranked a Bronze-Level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League, and is only one of two communities in Kentucky to have been designated thus far.
Bicycle Registration
University of Kentucky Parking and Transportation Services strongly encourages all members of the campus community who plan to park their bicycle on campus to obtain and display a valid bicycle permit, including employees, students, and frequent visitors.
Bicycle permits are free of charge. Bike owners should have the following information on hand when applying: serial number, bicycle color(s) and name brand/manufacturer. Bike permits are decals which should be adhered to the seat tube, approximately 8 inches from the bottom, facing the front of the bicycle.
Bicycle registration is voluntary, but members of the campus cycling community are highly encouraged to register their bicycles.
Why Register?
- Your registration sticker acts as a visible theft deterrent.
- Your permit can potentially save you money. If your bicycle is parked illegally on campus, PTS can contact you directly using the information provided during registration, rather than impounding your bicycle and cutting the lock.
- Proof of registration can be helpful for filing an insurance claim if your bicycle is stolen.
- Bike permits aid in theft recovery. PTS can flag your bike as stolen, provide you with your serial number and look for your bike – all provided it is registered with our department.
- Assists with campus and local bicycle education outreach programs, including the Bicycle e-Newsletter.
Bicycle permits are free of charge. Bike owners should have the following information on hand when applying: serial number, bicycle color(s) and name brand/manufacturer.

Bicycle registration is voluntary, but members of the campus cycling community are highly encouraged to registered their bicycles to take advantage of the benefits to cyclists.
Registering for a Bicycle Permit
You can acquire a bike permit online or in person.
To register online, sign into the Parking Account Manager. You will see "Purchase Permit" available in the menu. Click on that and follow the directions on the next screen. This should take you to a page which allows you to select a bike permit. If you have more than one bike that you wish to register, you may do so at this time. Upon completion of the application, PTS will mail the permit to the recipient. Please note that processing and delivery for online applications may take up to one week.
Permits may also be obtained in person at the Press Avenue Garage (721 Press Avenue) or the South Limestone Garage(409 South Limestone).
Permit Holder's Rights & Responsibilities
- Permits may not be transferred to another bicycle.
- Notify PTS of any transfer in ownership of the bicycle.
- Ensure that the permit is properly displayed on the bicycle.
- Pay fees for citations and/or impoundment tied to the permit.
It is the responsibility of all individuals operating any vehicle - motorized or non-motorized to read and understand the Vehicle, Parking & Permit Regulations.
Finding Your Serial Number

Wildcat Wheels Bicycle Library
If you need to borrow a bicycle, please visit the Wildcat Wheels Bike Library. Bike checkout is free with UK faculty, staff, or student ID.
Bicycle E-News
Read through our past bike e-newsletters to see what new infrastructure improvements have been made recently, to learn about past or upcoming bicycling events on campus, or to learn about road closures and route changes. To be added to the newsletter mailing list, enter your contact information below.
End-of-Semester Bike Donation Station
Instead of leaving an unwanted bike behind, donate it! The University of Kentucky encourages students to donate their unwanted bicycles instead of leaving them at racks on campus. Doing so helps expedite the abandoned bike process and frees up space on campus bike racks. Bikes donated through this process will go to the Lexington Fire Department for their annual toy drive, become part of the Wildcat Wheels program or go to UK Surplus, depending on their condition.
Pick up a Bicycle Donation Waiver and bike donation marker at your residence hall's front desk. Tie the marker to your locked bike, and put the completed form and your bike lock key in an envelope and drop it in the green donation bin.
If you would like to keep your bike lock, drop your bike off at the Wildcat Wheels Bicycle Library, in the basement of Blazer Hall, during the following windows:
Monday, May 2 4 p.m. -- 7 p.m.
Tuesday, May 3 4 p.m. -- 7 p.m.
Wednesday, May 4 4 p.m. -- 7 p.m.
Thursday, May 5 4 p.m. -- 7 p.m.
Friday, May 6 noon -- 3 p.m.

Nineteen December Games (Texans v Patriots)
I saw a curious tidbit float around twitter regarding the upcoming Texans/Patriots game on Monday night. Basically, it stated that the Patriots have not lost at home in December since 2002. Nineteen straight December home victories.
The idea behind the tweet, of course, was that the Texans don't have a great shot at winning, in that they'll be at New England, in December, against this juggernaut of a December-home-victory team.
Of course, there is some truth to the idea that playing in Foxborough, Massachusetts in the dead of winter is difficult. Playing in any cold-weather city is hard for a team like the Texans who are based in a warm-weather city. And away games are never easy for any team, other than the Giants, who seem to be particularly fond of them.
But there are two issues I take with such a tidbit: it ignores anything other than these wins, and it implies that past performance indicates future results. Both of these issues are not insignificant.
The latter is frequently ignored in sports reporting. There may be an interesting fact about a team, but the Patriots of the past ten Decembers have been ten different teams. Only a few things are still the same after ten years, and such a streak is in no way an indication of whether or not it will continue in the future.
I often see snippets like this while watching sports or reading about a sports story. Something will say "no Bengals quarterback has ever rushed for more than 200 yards in a season" (I made that one up, I'm sure it's false) as though that means that such a thing can never happen. This is foolish, as past performance is not an indication of future results.
The other issue is the isolation of data. The Patriots have not lost in December at home in nineteen games. But who did they play? How good were their opponents? Did they lose in January? How good were the Patriots come December? There's a lot more to the story that could be told by answering these questions, so I set out to do so:
Did they lose in January? Over the same stretch of time, the Patriots have played five January regular-season games. They've won three (2004 49ers, 2010 Dolphins, 2011 Bills) and lost two (2005 Dolphins, 2009 Texans). Not quite as formidable as December, though the weather is generally worse.
Who did they play; how good were their opponents? Over the course of those nineteen December games, the Patriots faced such juggernauts as the 0-11 2011 Dolphins, the 1-13 2007 Dolphins, and the 2-9 2006 Lions and 2005 Jets. Of course, they also played some difficult teams; the best team they faced in that time was the 9-2 2010 Jets (and they were 9-2 at the time as well). But the combined record of the nineteen teams they played by the time the matchups began was 105-138, for a less-than-impressive 0.432 win percentage.
Who were these Patriots and how good were they? The Patriots, on the other hand, have had the opposite side of the story. Four of the ten Patriots teams made the Super Bowl, two won it. Three of these nineteen games were during the famed 16-0 season. The combined win-loss record of the Patriots by the time the matchups began was 187-56, or a very impressive 0.770. Only twice did the visiting team have a better record than the Patriots: both the 2002 Dolphins and 2005 Buccaneers had one more win than the Pats.
So basically, you have a fantastic team playing against a lot of subpar teams, with only a few standout victories among these December games. And from this, we're supposed to understand that the Texans have no chance to win, because it's December in Foxborough.
Will the Texans win on Monday night? No one knows. But will a win or loss come because it's December (and impossible/due) in Foxborough? Not a chance. But heck, this is an 11-1 team coming in to face a 9-3 team. And after all: that represents the most lopsided-against-the-Patriots game that has been played in Foxborough in the last ten Decembers.

By Cathy Rose Garcia, ABS-CBNnews.com Posted at Oct 17 2012 02:34 PM | Updated as of Oct 22 2012 05:17 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest This article was also published on TheFilAm.net, an online magazine for Filipino Americans in New York. SEOUL, South Korea – By now, everyone knows "Gangnam Style," the infectious beat and kooky invisible horse dance that took the world by storm. On my recent visit to Seoul, I saw just how big the Korean rapper Psy has become. Koreans are very proud of Psy's success. His face is plastered on magazines and newspapers, which carry stories about how "Gangnam" has taken over the world. Hyemin Lee, a graduate student, said she was happy that Americans are taking notice of Psy and K-pop. "Maybe Psy will just be a one-hit wonder in the US, but in Korea, he will always be a star," she said. Korean singer Psy on the cover of a magazine in Seoul, South Korea. Photo by Cathy Rose A. Garcia, ABS-CBNnews.com There are some who aren't happy with what "Gangnam" is telling the world about Korea. In his column, The Korea Times managing editor Oh Young-jin takes issue with Psy's "vulgarity." "I thought Psy was supposed to act as a launch pad to help the world appreciate more genuinely Korean culture and more mainstream artists but he has outgrown that role and threatens to represent the core values of Korea that he is not… But Psy's problem and, by extension, that of 'Gangnam Style,' is that his whole gig is built on a falsehood. There are few elements about him and his song that can be regarded as Korean," Oh said. Psy's video – with about 470 million views on YouTube — is a satire of the whole Gangnam lifestyle. It's about a guy wooing this girl whose image is really different from what she is. Psy says it's all about dressing classy and dancing cheesy. I knew Psy would become a star, but he would not be on my list of Korean stars who could make it big in the US. A few years ago when I was working as a journalist in Seoul, I had the chance to watch concerts where Psy was one of the performers. After some boy bands and girl groups performed, Psy came on stage with such a swagger that I remember thinking, "What's this ajeossi (Korean for middle-aged man) doing in a K-pop concert?" But once he grabbed the mic, everyone in the stadium leapt to their feet, dancing and screaming their lungs out. Pretty soon, I was jumping with the rest of the crowd, caught up in his wildly energetic performance. Korean entertainment companies have been desperately trying to export K-pop stars like Rain, Wonder Girls and Girls Generation to the US. Rain managed to make two not-so-successful Hollywood movies, while Wonder Girls opened for Justin Bieber, and Girls Generation appeared on David Letterman. Unlike Psy, they barely made a dent in American pop culture. But can Psy become more than just the Gangnam guy? I'm reminded by his appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, where Ellen didn't even bother asking him any questions and immediately asked him to teach Britney Spears the dance. Even worse, someone from TMZ had the gall to compare Psy — who already had six hit albums in Korea — with William Hung, that joke of a contestant from "American Idol." Despite the popularity of "Gangnam Style," not many know about Gangnam, the place which inspired the song. Surprisingly, some English speakers still think the song is about gangs or gangsters. Literally meaning "south of the river," Gangnam is the most affluent district in Seoul. Compared to gritty "old Seoul" north of the Han river, Gangnam is a glossy and modern district with wide roads, high-rise buildings and luxury shops. Home of Korea's new rich, Gangnam represents the success story of Korea's economy. "Prior of Korea's Economic Miracle beginning in the 1960s, Gangnam was nothing more but rice paddies. From the 1970s, however, the government and developers moved into the area with a vengeance, building it up into a residential and commercial district to flaunt the country's growing wealth," author Robert Koehler said in his book "Seoul." I lived in Seoul's northern part, not Gangnam, for six years and I always wondered why some Koreans were always asking me where I lived. It was always a wonder why some made it a big deal that they lived in Gangnam. After finding out the average cost of an apartment in the area, I would probably be telling everyone I lived in Gangnam too. Gangnam boasts of having the most expensive real estate in Seoul. According to Businessweek, about 1 percent of Seoul's population lives in Gangnam and the average apartment in the area costs about $716,000. In short, saying you lived in Gangnam is the quickest way to tell people you have money. When I visited a friend's apartment in Apgujeong a few years ago, I was amazed to find out it cost around $1 million, even though it looked like the apartments I've seen in buildings north of the river. My friend shrugged about the price saying, "We're paying for the price of a Gangnam address." In Gangnam, perhaps the poshest enclaves are Apgujeong and Cheongdam. A stretch of road in Cheongdam is lined with flagship stores of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier and Prada. These flagship stores are usually half-empty, compared with the long lines outside the branches inside Korean department stores. And just a stone's throw away, you can find stores selling second-hand Chanel bags and Ferragamo flats at discounted prices. The people in Gangnam's streets are well-groomed, dressed in designer duds and spend money like there's no tomorrow. Whenever I used to visit Gangnam, I always made sure to dress up more, bring a designer purse and a credit card. Looking like you have money is perhaps key to getting good service at the shops and restaurants. Gangnam has some of the most expensive shops, cafes, restaurants and clubs, as well as beauty salons and plastic surgery clinics. Plastic surgery is big in Korea, and tourists are even coming here to get the eyes, nose or cheekbones of their favorite Korean stars. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying Gangnam always felt a bit pretentious and snobby, which is why watching Psy skewer the Gangnam lifestyle is fun. Unfortunately, the song has become so popular that it is now being used to promote the same thing it is supposed to be making fun of. A leading Korean department store even used "Gangnam Style" for its fall campaign.

There might be a beneficiary to the apparent increased militancy of the US police establishment, as first witnessed in the Ferguson, Mo police shooting and related riots: TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ:TASR).
Taser stock up 8% due to increase in demand of wearable police cameras
Reports that shares of the stock were up 8 percent today on the back of strong gains of 10 percent Friday centered on potential increased demand for wearable police cameras.
While analysts are chalking up the rise in the stock to the event in Fergson, where an unarmed man was apparently shot while facing an officer, the report says the focus remains on TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ:TASR)'s camera. A Taser gun could might also have been used instead of lethal force in the incident.
While the official police report on the incident has yet to be released, press reports from the scene indicate that the US Department of Justice is now involved in the autopsy as National Guard troops moved into the area. Reports on NBC's evening news and in other media indicate a small group of people is displaying weapons in the case, a critical concern for police.
Wearable police cameras would have helped in Fergerson teen shooting case
At issue in the case is if the shooting victim, 18-year-old Michael Brown, was shot by police with his arms raised in the air, surrendering, or if he was rushing towards Fergerson police officer Darren Wilson, who was later named as the shooter.
A video camera on the officer in question would have provided the answer to this question, although ballistics can determine the approximate length at which the six shots entered Brown's body.
TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ:TASR), which sold $2.83 million AXON body cameras in the second quarter according to a 10 Q report cited by Business Insider, recently announced the Fresno, CA police department had ordered 100 of the devices.
Mounting cameras on police officer's body is said to have many benefits. Studies show officers behave better when they are aware their actions are being monitored, but it can cut down on liability insurance costs cases of potential misconduct can be clearly determined.
A year-long Cambridge University study cited in a recent TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ:TASR) press release showed video cameras resulted in an 88% reduction in citizen complaints and a 60% reduction in uses of police force. The study, conducted at the Rialto, CA Police Department, investigated whether officers' use of video cameras could bring measurable benefits to relations between police and civilians. The study results, while on a limited dataset of one police jurisdiction, showed that after implementation of video cameras police behavior improved markedly.

Speaking at the Anti-Ageing Health and Beauty show held at the London Olympia this past weekend, Geraldine McCulgan of the College of Naturopathic Medicine said: "What you eat today... you wear tomorrow." (Agencies) Latest News from Lifestyle News Desk
The beauty therapist shared some helpful tips on natural choices for anti-ageing and the small changes that one can effect in one's lifestyle to help slow down ageing.
Accelerating ageing is affected by the following:
* Glycation - the process of sugar and it affects joints
* Inflammation
* Lack of nutrients
* Overload of toxins
* Free radical damages
* Stress
* Loss of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which regulates cellular energy
* Lack of oil and water
So if you want to slow down ageing, McCulgan recommends following a diet made up of whole grains, vegetables, legumes, mild-sweet and non-sweet fruits. One can also try the following things:
* Avoid refined sugar
* Eat protein with every meal
* Swap refined sugar products with wholegrain alternatives
* Eat plenty of fibre rich vegetables
* Include cinnamon - lowers blood sugar levels
* Consult the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale - which identifies the anti-oxidants in foods
Inflammation is behind many degenerative diseases, so here we have some advice from Geraldine on how to reduce it:
* Eat organic
* Turmeric
* Ginger
* Green leafy vegetables
* Fermented foods
* Acid/Alkaline balancing
* Omega 3 fatty acids

Deal Finder and Price GongDeal Finder and Price Gong.....I'm sure this isn't the first post about these two problems but I would like to know if these are anything but an annoyance or if they are malware. If they are malware then I would like to know how to stop them and how they got into my Mac Pro desktop to begin with.
These are pop ups that come up from the bottom right of my screen (the Price Gong) and everywhere on the screen overlaying product ads that I want to see in such places as Amazon and Cabelas etc.
I normally use FireFox as my browser if that makes a difference.Picture Taker

They're not malware per se, but annoying never the less. Use a strong pop up blocker and ad blocker. You can search for one or both using the extension function in Firefox.

Today in Literature 3.20.2013 "On this day in 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was published. At least one publisher turned the book down on the grounds that a novel by a woman on such a controversial subject was too risky. He must have regretted it: the novel sold 10,000 copies in the first week, 300,000 copies in a year, and became America's first million-seller. It also brought Stowe hate mail -- in one case, a black, human ear." Source: http://www.todayinliterature.com/ Read more about Today in Literature 3.20.2013

Philadelphia police released this photo, taken by a nearby fan, of the suspect (in the grey Phillies jersey and reddish shorts). Investigators asked for anyone who knows the man to contact police.AdvertisementThe bottle leanded at Howard's feet, and he alerted a security guard.

Qualifications at level 5: progressing in a career or to higher education
This study of EQF level 5 qualifications on the basis of learning outcomes reveals much greater complexity, diversity and dynamism than previously assumed. But where they fit within the spectrum of education and training is not always clear. Typical level 5 qualifications are provided by short-cycle higher education programmes; yet the study finds that half of learning outcomes at this level are vocational education and training or outside the formal system. The more accurate picture of level 5 qualifications provided by the study demonstrates how policy-makers can use the EQF to identify gaps in their education and training systems.

The Devils committed several transgressions tonight, such as the rare double of taking two penalties in the same period for having too many men on the ice. They also preoccupied themselves at times with taunting the opposing bench rather than focusing on playing hockey.
Despite their lack of discipline -- which included Vadim Sharifijanov's taking three penalties in a row and Randy McKay's drawing a 10-minute misconduct for no reason -- the Devils ended a four-game streak at home without a victory with a 6-4 triumph over the Carolina Hurricanes at Continental Arena.
Scott Niedermayer, Krzysztof Oliwa, Brendan Morrison, Petr Sykora, Jay Pandolfo and McKay scored the goals, in that order, for the Devils (30-18-6), who ended their longest streak without a victory at home since 1992.
Three of the goals in the game, played before a crowd of 17,023, came in the last three minutes on a night of sluggish and undisciplined hockey by two teams that fancy themselves as contenders for the Stanley Cup.
''It wasn't the prettiest, but we'll take it,'' said Ken Daneyko, the Devils defenseman who had 3 points tonight, his first time in 16 seasons with the team. ''We needed to win this game.''
After losing their previous three games here in their six-game homestand, the Devils held another meeting before tonight's game to discuss the significance of ending the losing streak in front of their fans.
''Everybody was talking how we needed to win this game for ourselves,'' said Sykora, who scored his 18th goal of the season. ''It feels good that we did.''
The victory put the Devils one game over the .500 mark at home (12-11-5). This after they had a season-high eight-game streak without a loss shortly after Thanksgiving.
''We worked hard last night and we came up with nothing,'' Lyle Odelein, Daneyko's partner on defense, said about the loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday night. ''We had to win tonight, and we came through.''
Embarrassed by their losing streak at home, the Devils started with enthusiasm tonight and forced the Hurricanes into their zone from the opening face-off. The Devils scored first, but they failed to sustain their attack and the Hurricanes took the next six shots.
Martin Brodeur made 26 saves in his 46th appearance of the season. He ended a personal three-game losing streak and improved his record to 24-16-6. Four of his victories have come in four meetings with the Hurricanes.
Paul Ranheim had two goals and Bates Battaglia and Ron Francis had one each for the Hurricanes (25-21-9), who played without Keith Primeau, their captain and leading scorer. Primeau missed his first game of the season after injuring his wrist in a victory over the Rangers on Friday night.
Battaglia and Francis brought the Hurricanes back, tying the score at 2-2, but Morrison and Sykora gave the Devils a 4-2 lead in the second period. Ranheim narrowed the gap to 4-3, but Pandolfo's goal with 2 minutes 4 seconds left in the game and McKay's goal 16 seconds later extended the lead to 6-3 before Ranheim's second of the night ended the scoring with 1:10 left.
''We worked throughout, and that's important,'' Coach Robbie Ftorek said of the Devils. ''There are games where we work, and we don't win. Tonight, it wasn't executed exactly the way we want to, but it's a good win.''
After scoring just once in nine games since he had a virus, the Devils' PATRIK ELIAS was benched in favor of SERGEI BRYLIN, who made his first appearance in nine games. . . . Defenseman KEVIN DEAN missed his second game in a row with a strained right knee. . . . DAVE ANDREYCHUK (broken right ankle) and SASHA LAKOVIC were the other scratches for the Devils. . . . VADIM SHARIFIJANOV's three penalties in a row for the Devils, beginning in the first period, undoubtedly irritated Coach ROBBIE FTOREK.

Two new residents of The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, Amur leopard cubs born two weeks ago, got their first checkup from zoo staff on Tuesday.
SLIDESHOW: Leopard cubs exam

Both cubs are female and weigh about 4 pounds each, officials learned during the medical exams.
It was the first contact staff had with the cubs, whose birth was observed Nov. 16 using a remote video monitoring system.
The cubs' arrival is especially welcome because the Amur leopard is a critically endangered species — perhaps the most endangered big cat in the world, said zoo spokeswoman Amy Hernden.
According to estimates, fewer than 50 remain in the wild, and about 95 live in captivity in the United States.
"We are very proud of our leopards and our animal care team who have successfully brought two more of these extremely rare cats into the world," said Dan Maloney, the zoo's deputy director of conservation and education.
This is the third litter for the cubs' mother, Makarii, and father, Nicolai, who were brought to the zoo in 2006.
The mother gave birth to one cub in 2011 and two in 2012. Amur leopards are managed under a Species Survival Plan, a shared conservation effort developed by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Based on the plan's breeding recommendations, the first cub was transferred to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and the next two to the Staten Island Zoo.
Hernden said it's too soon to say whether the new cubs eventually will be transferred to other zoos as well.
"They normally stay here for at least a year," she said, and at some point after that their future will be evaluated through the Species Survival Plan.
Amur leopards are native to southeast Russia and northeast China.
