At Fox News, Planet Earth Is Sponsored By ExxonMobil
We noted [1] in June that Fox News' iPad app was sponsored exclusively by ExxonMobil, a corporation known for [2] paying think tanks to obfuscate the scientific consensus on climate change. Now FoxNews.com's "Planet Earth" section [3] is also brought to you by the oil giant:
In fact, FoxNews.com's entire Science & Technology section [4] and their opinion page [5] appear to be sponsored by ExxonMobil; the other sections of their website are not.
Earlier this year [6], FoxNews.com sought to debunk the fact that Earth has warmed over the past 30 years, as well as the notion that human activity has contributed to the warming with a "Planet Earth" article, portions of which "are utter nonsense" and "do not make sense" according to climatologists consulted by Media Matters.
Two recent stories that Fox News' Planet Earth section ran on climate change were based around claims pushed by the Heartland Institute's James Taylor and quoted Taylor's views. A post by Taylor, which baselessly claimed a research group "doctors sea level data" to exaggerate climate change, inspired [7] a FoxNews.com article asking, "Is climate change raising sea levels, as Al Gore has argued -- or are climate scientists doctoring the data?"
And after a Forbes column by Taylor misinterpreted [8] a climate study and declared that it blows a "gaping hole in global warming alarmism," Fox News' Planet Earth asked [9] "Has a central tenant [sic] of global warming just collapsed?" The article falsely claimed the study showed the "planet isn't heating up" and featured this image and caption:
The Heartland Institute is a libertarian think tank that hosts regular conferences [10] disputing mainstream climate science and received [11] $676,500 from ExxonMobil between 1998 and 2006, including $90,000 specifically for [12] "General Operating Support -- Climate Change."
ExxonMobil pledged [13] in 2008 to stop funding groups "whose positions on climate change could divert attention" from the need to develop secure, clean energy. But Exxon's continued funding of Fox News' ventures seems to contradict this pledge. Fox routinely [14] pushes [15] false [6] claims [16] about climate [17] science [18], and it has even been the policy of Fox News to question [19] the basic fact that the planet has warmed in recent decades.
UPDATE (9/2/11): FoxNews.com's Science & Technology section (including the Planet Earth subsection) and opinion page no longer display text stating that they are sponsored by ExxonMobil.
UPDATE #2: As of 9/19/11, FoxNews.com's Science & Technology section and opinion page display text stating that they are sponsored by ExxonMobil. The subsections of the SciTech section, including Planet Earth, no longer display this text.

Sjaak's Organic Chocolates' MissionSjaak's Organic Chocolates aims to create the highest quality gourmet organic chocolates possible while simultaneously supporting a positive work environment, fair trade practices and encouraging sustainable agriculture through the use of organic, non-GMO ingredients. It is also the goal of Sjaak's Organic Chocolates to build a socially responsible, profitable business that can be carried on for generations to come. Sjaak's Organic Chocolates' StoryThe Sjaak's Story began on the Southern beaches of Spain. This is where Jacques and Pam met and fell in love. They soon came back and settled in Eureka (northern ca.) where Pam had grown up. They began a Chocolate business that grew into a household name in their community. After years of building a thriving business, they realized that they needed to shift their attention to organic products. Being long time vegetarians (since 1970) and health conscious consumers themselves, they felt they needed their personal beliefs reflected in their business, thus the beginning of Sjaak's Organic chocolates.) Above is a picture of 13 year old Jacques (founder of Sjaak's Organic Chocolates) at his confectionary trade school located in Voorhout, Holland Allergy InformationSjaak's Organic Chocolates is a lacto-vegetarian operation. This means Sjaak's has no eggs or gelatin in their factory. Sjaak's takes their vegan products very seriously and clean their equipment thoroughly between batches, but take caution, trace amounts of dairy are possible. Sjaak's does use various nuts in their products, if you have a severe allergy please use caution. Sjaak's is a gluten free facility and they use organic soy in all of their products. Cocoa Tree Needs shade and protection because of its frailty The pods are football shaped and are 6-12 inches long Can live up to 100 years Pods grow directly on trunk or older larger branches Shallow roots Grows to 15-25 feet 20-50 cacao beans in each pod Produces fruit (pods) in 4th or 5th year 400 beans needed for one pound of chocolate Needs high humidity - temperatures over 65 degrees and more than 80 inches yearly of rain Farmers plant taller trees around cacao trees to provide shade and protection Grows only within 15 degrees of the equator in the tropical counties of Africa, Asia, Central America and South America Cocoa Farms Mostly grown on family farms of less than 15 acres 70% world's supply comes from West Africa Approximately 1.2 million cocoa farms in West Africa 3 million tons produced annually 10 million people live on cocoa farms in West Africa The organic cocoa industry is working hard to ensure that abusive child labor is being eliminated on the farms Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon are countries that have the most family farms Sustainable cocoa farming that combines good farming methods with good economic practices is increasing Biodiversity is common by the planting shade trees that also provide useful products for the farmer Cocoa Harvesting Harvesting is done by hand because the tree is sensitive and delicate Pods are broken by machetes and seeds scooped from pod A good worker can break 500 pods an hour Harvested beans quickly change color from cream to purple Beans are put in boxes and covered after harvesting Dried cocoa beans then ferment for about 5 days Dried beans are then ready for shipping to cocoa processing countries Fermented dried beans become deep brown and acquire the rich aroma of chocolate Cocoa Processing Cocoa beans are roasted in large rotating cylinders The inside of the cocoa bean is called the "nib" Nibs are ground into a non-alcoholic liquid called "chocolate liquor". Chocolate liquor is the main ingredient in chocolate Giant hydraulic presses squeeze the cocoa butter out of the chocolate liquor The pressed cake that remains after the cocoa butter is removed can be cooled, pulverized and sifted into cocoa powder. Chocolate is made by mixing a variety of ingredients into the chocolate liquor These ingredients can be milk, sugar, cocoa butter in various amounts that determine the type and quality of chocolate The chocolate mixture is then finely ground between a series of heavy roller - this is "conching" This chocolate is poured into slabs to send to chocolate makers around the world These chocolate makers must then "temper" the chocolate which is heating, cooling and re-heating the chocolate to acquire the right consistency. The chocolate makers then take this chocolate and make a variety of confections. OrganicSjaak's Organic Chocolates is 100% certified organic.

Microsoft Attacks Gmail with "Scroogled" Campaign

Microsoft's Scroogled campaign
(Source: CNN)
The campaign tells email users that Google scans all sent and received emails for advertisement keywords
Microsoft is taking
a serious jab at Google's
Gmail service in a new campaign called "Don't Get Scroogled by Gmail."
Microsoft's "Scroogled" campaign is an effort to draw new customers to its own email service, Outlook -- and plans to do so by informing Internet users nationwide of Gmail's practices.
Microsoft is telling the nation that Google scans each email that is sent and received through the Gmail service for keywords that can help it target users with more accurate advertisements. Microsoft even commissioned a study, conducted by GfK Roper, where 70 percent of users were unaware of Google's email scanning and 88 percent disapproved of it once they knew.
"Emails are personal — and people feel that reading through their emails to sell ads is out of bounds," said Stefan Weitz, senior director of Online Services at Microsoft. "We honor the privacy of our Outlook.com users, and we are concerned that Google violates that privacy every time an Outlook.com user exchanges messages with someone on Gmail. This campaign is as much about protecting Outlook.com users from Gmail as it is about making sure Gmail users know what Google's doing."
Microsoft will spread the news and its new word "Scroogled" all over TV, Internet and print advertisements. It even
launched a petition
to stop going through user emails for the sake of ad sales, where it has received nearly 600 signatures of the required 25,000 at the time this article was written.
Microsoft was even nice enough to offer a few examples of Google's practices.
"For example, if you write a friend to let her know you are separating from your husband, Google sells ads against this information to divorce lawyers, who post ads alongside it," said Microsoft. "Or if you ask a friend for vacation suggestions, Google uses this information to target you with ads from travel agencies or airlines that want your business."
There has been some tension between the two tech companies, as Microsoft
cried "antitrust" over a YouTube snub
last month. More specifically, the Redmond, Wash. tech giant was upset that Windows Phone still could not get a full YouTube app while the competition (Android and iOS) were able. It added that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was not doing enough to force Google to conform to antitrust laws (Google got out of a two-year FTC investigation with only a slap on the wrist).
Also, Google had filed a patent claim with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) against Microsoft that
would stop the Windows giant from applying video compression technology to the Xbox
video game console. While it dropped this patent claim against Microsoft last month, others are still pending.

Jill Von Crastenburg is a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Background and personality
Jill Von Crastenburg is a Celebutante Socialite living in Alderney with billionaire parents. She is the best friend of Cloe Parker, a parody of Nicole Richie's (Jill's counterpart) friendship with Paris Hilton (Cloe's). It is notable that although Hilton and Richie were born less than a year apart, Cloe is anywhere from 5 to 11 years Jill's senior.
Jill is very sexually active and invoved with drug use, even though she is very young, and is extremely spoiled. According to the LCPD database she is only 13, although another source says she is a college dropout, but again confirms that she is only in her teens. She also has a history of drug and alcohol abuse. She had a three-week relationship with 14-years-older Cuban baseball player Ernesto Asaltacunas. She has been arrested for public lewdness. She hosts a reality show called "America's Sexiest Terrorist". Like her best/worst friend Cloe Parker, Jill enjoy's all the perk's of being a billionaire heiress living in Liberty City, like recieving a free Grotti sports car every christmas from the dealership and a lifetime-supply of food from any Burger Shot outlet in the American North-East (excluding Alderney, the "Freak State"). Jill's family the 'Von Crastenburg's are old 'East Coast' money, with a family fortune in the billions as of 2008 (estimated by Weazel News), the whole family enjoy a life of luxury and excess including an enormous 19 bedroom mansion in Westdyke, a 63 room estate somewhere Upstate and several art galleries in Middle Park East. The Von Crastenburg's are said to own half of Algonquin's Finacial District, it was reported by I'm Rich that the Von Crastenburg's dont pay any Tax's because they claim to practice their relgion inside their home, making them 'True Americans'. Just like all the other 'DIY Debutantes' featured in I'm Rich Jill's extravagance goes as far as having erotic images painted on her bedroom wall by a celebrity artist and owning a fleet of luxury sports cars and a flying rabbit.
Events during the game
Not long after breaking up with Asaltacunas, she was featured on a sex tape (featuring her cheating on her boyfriend, as he paid their tab at a bar, by giving oral sex to a valet) that quickly circulated around the internet. It is very slightly based on Paris Hilton's sex tape, both being filmed in night vision. It first surfaced in www.electrictit.com but was removed from the site.
She was once forced to re-enact a tantrum for the paparazzi who were late and wanted to cover it.

text: See what I did there? I'm hoping you enjoy my mock. I've been working on this for a few days now; please don't be too harsh. I'm incorporating a trade of a player (a very realistic one). This assumes we keep Spencer. DAL trades Miles Austin to the Detroit Lions for their 4th round pick (99 overall). 18 | Jonathan Cooper | OG | Tarheels | 6'3" 310lb What the experts say: Cooper is a smooth, coordinated athlete with fluid footwork and outstanding balance, blocking well on the move and constantly getting to the second level. Cooper lacks overpowering strength and needs to cut down on the penalties, but is an extremely effortless mover with explosive quickness in tight quarters. With an impressive senior season, Cooper, who is almost fully recovered from January shoulder surgery, could be the first offensive lineman out of North Carolina to be drafted in the first round since 1987 (Harris Barton). 47 | Kawann Short | DT | Boilermakers | 6'3" 308lb What the experts say: Short is a large human being with a huge wingspan, using his long arms to bat down passes (11 pass break-ups) and make plays on special teams (4 blocked kicks). Short can be an immovable object in the middle of the field when he plays disciplined and generates power from his lower body. However, he too often gives streaky effort and doesn't consistently play with leverage. Short sees a lot of double-teams, but scouts want to see more of a mean streak and less passiveness. He has been productive over his first three seasons in West Lafayette, but there is also some negative game tape out there on him. And while Short will still be an attractive pro prospect because of his natural size and tools, he needs to prove he can be consistently more than just a plugging space-eater to cement his top-50 status. 80 | Stedman Bailey | WR | Mountaineers | 5'10" 195lb What the experts say: STRENGTHS: Bailey tracks the ball very well and shows outstanding body control and timing on deep passes. He has excellent hand/eye coordination and is a natural hands-catcher, snatching it away from his body with strong hands and making tough catches look easy. Bailey is a balanced athlete with quick feet in/out of his breaks and the agility in the open field to make defenders miss. He is a smart route-runner and knows how to bait defenders and attract defensive pass interference penalties. Bailey shows excellent patience and burst in his routes with good stop-and-go motions to release at the line of scrimmage and gain a step or work back to the ball. He does a nice job gaining inside position and uses his body well, doing a nice job catching the ball in stride. Bailey has a RB-like build with a little bit of power for the position and strength to pick up yards after contact. He has some wiggle after the catch and is not always easy to bring down with his slippery run style. Bailey was extremely productive over his career, setting several school records including career touchdown catches (39). He has good starting experience with 35 career starts the past three seasons, lining up all over the offense. WEAKNESSES: Bailey lacks ideal height, length and leaping ability, lacking the large catching radius of other receivers. He doesn't have great explosiveness to beat defenders with speed alone, lacking the same suddenness as his teammate Tavon Austin. Bailey doesn't always appear invested in the play when it isn't designed to go his way. He has limited experience and production on special teams (11 career kick returns). He needs to play smarter, drawing a celebration penalty after a touchdown against Baylor (2012). He battled a gimpy left ankle much of the 2012 season and has some minor durability concerns. Bailey has some character concerns after he was cited for stealing over-the-counter cold medication in Jan. 2012.NFL Comparison: Mix of Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers and Golden Tate, Seattle Seahawks - Bailey has the build and athleticism of Tate, but shows the toughness and downfield playmaking ability of Smith 99 | TJ McDonald | FS | Trojans | 6'2" 211lb What the experts say: The physical and mental traits necessary to make those gains appear to be in place for McDonald to make that ascension in 2012. He certainly boasts the combination of size, speed, overall athleticism, hitting ability and ball skills that every NFL team is looking for. Because of his imposing frame and hitting ability, McDonald has often been compared to the highly touted safety he replaced at USC ? Taylor Mays. While McDonald is not the elite straight-line speed athlete that Mays is, nor is he as stiff in coverage, which is among the reasons why he'll ultimately earn a higher pick in the NFL draft than his former teammate. 111 | Khaled Holmes | C | Trojans | 6'3" 305lb What the experts say: The wide-bodied Holmes projects nicely at any of the three interior positions in the NFL. He's quick off the snap, demonstrating the burst and agility to handle combo blocking, though he can be beaten to the point when asked to pull. He is powerful at the point of attack, showing good upper and lower body strength to get push in short yardage situations, making him an ideal candidate for a power-based scheme. 144 | Johnathan Franklin | RB | Bruins | 5'10" 201lb What the experts say: Franklin boasts NFL-caliber speed and the ability to make defenders miss in tight quarters. He attacks the line of scrimmage and can squirt through in a blink, consistently giving the Bruins a big-play option from the running game. He's affectionately been nicknamed "Jetski" by some on the team due to his ability to leave defenders in his wake. The catchy nickname is fun, but I have concerns about how well he'll transition to the NFL. Franklin lacks the bulk of an NFL lead back so he'd likely have to make a roster as a third-down specialist. The problem is he hasn't demonstrated the reliable hands out of the backfield (25 career catches for just 194 yards and one score) nor is he a stout blocker in pass protection -- two traits normally associated with the speedy change-of-pace options NFL teams are increasingly employing in this era of specialization. Perhaps most alarming is that Franklin has struggled with ball security. He fumbled three times in a five game stretch last year and it has been a sporadic problem going back earlier in his career. 175 | Nick Kasa | TE | Buffaloes | 6'6" 271lb What the experts say: STRENGTHS: Thick, broad-shouldered athlete who physically looks the part. Possesses surprising straight-line speed and good mobility and balance, overall. Physical, competitive run-blocker. Strong hands to turn and seal defenders from the ball-carrier and has an idea of what his opponent is trying to accomplish based on his previous experience playing on the defensive line.Developing pass-catcher who routinely finished practices during his senior season catching 100 passes from the JUGS machine. Has the size/speed combination to be an effective special teams performer early in his career. Possesses clear untapped potential and could be an ascending player and matchup headache for defenses at tight end. WEAKNESSES: Raw. Lacks awareness as a route-runner and too often fights the ball as pass-catcher. Plays a bit tight and bulky. Faster than he is quick and needs to show greater flexibility and explosiveness to generate separation. Has struggled with various bumps and bruises throughout his career, though none of the injuries caused him to miss considerable time, raising concerns about his toughness. Was knocked out of the Arizona game (2012) with concussion-like symptoms. COMPARES TO: Kevin Boss, TE, New York Giants -- Like Boss (who hailed from Western Oregon), Kasa is a potential diamond in the rough who, with a little polishing, has the size and speed to develop into a potential NFL starter. ------------------------ Overview: 1 (18) Jonathan Cooper, OG 2 (47) Kawann Short, DT 3 (80) Stedman Bailey, WR 3 (99) TJ McDonald, S 4 (111) Khaled Holmes, C 5 (144) Johnathan Franklin, RB 6 (175) Nick Kasa, TE

regardles of how long i leave it, no change.
i also tried running ubiquity or sh -c ubiquity from the command-line
the laptop thinks for a 30 seconds and then i get a prompt with no other action if i run the command again it goes straight to a prompt without any thought.
would like to get this installed on the laptop, is their any commands that i can run to complete this or get some indication on what is causing the issue - any commands to find either would be helpful.
have downloaded checked the hash and did 2 burns one fast and one slow - no difference.
the version is BT5r3 Gnome 32bit
Also completed the x wont start commands under basic usage in the wiki - the commands there made no difference either.

Count the city of Houston among the growing number of municipalities and groups gathering up old stuff — to keep it out of the landfill and recycle it for new uses.
In this case, Houston is now accepting donations of construction and home materials, which will be made available to any nonprofit organization at no charge.
A $150,000 grant helped to created the Building Materials Reuse Warehouse. Construction workers or home builders simply drop off extra ceiling fans, faucets or anything left over. The products then get a new home at a nonprofit organization instead of filling up the landfill. More than one-third of the waste in Houston is directly related to construction and demolition material.
The warehouse is currently mostly lumber and the grand opening is not until June in hopes of obtaining more donated materials. Visit the website to see the hours of operation for the warehouse and rules for donating and shopping.

McDonald's Fires Mom Who Let 9-Year-Old Play Alone
(NEWSER) – The South Carolina single mom arrested for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park while she worked at McDonald's has been given her daughter back—but has lost her job. The lawyer representing Debra Harrell pro bono says McDonald's has let her go, but he isn't sure why, reports ThinkProgress. A McDonald's spokeswoman declined to comment. Harrell has been charged with unlawful neglect of a child, and her lawyer says that although she has been reunited with her daughter, the Department of Social Services probe is ongoing.

text: With money to be made from her married boyfriend and hotel and shopping bills to be racked up, Lindsay Lohan decided to skip her youngest brother Cody's high school graduation. If Oprah had picked up her show for a second season they probably would have wanted to film it so Lindsay would have gone, but she is having far too much fun in London to do something so mundane. Lindsay is going to run out of time on her stay in London soon and then she will be forced to come back to the States and will have to resume her partying in clubs where cameras are allowed and the world will see that she is the same drunken buffoon we have come to dislike. At this point it looks like she has given up on doing anything in life but partying and shopping and the occasional photo shoot where she can keep all the clothes. Maybe she is hoping if she stays long enough Ladies Of London might start shooting again and she can show up with Caprice somewhere. More likely is that she is hoping her boyfriend will get divorced and she can get married and stay in London, so lets all root for the guy to get divorced.

My mom has had extreme problems with gas and gas pain. I was told this enzyme might help, has anyone taken it before? Did it help you ? Do you know of any side effects?
speppers....my husband and many others used enzymes to aid in the digestive process. No, we have not heard of any negative side effects. Another really important thing to watch for a regular bowel movements - for that we had great results with stool softeners 1/2 hour before each meal. And movement, walks especially after consuming a small meal preferably high in protein. Smaller portions spread throughout the day worked best for us.
I hope this helps. Good luck and please, keep us posted.
Thanks Marion, she takes softners daily but nothing seems to be helping. They say her duct is fully dialated but she always feels so bloated. I'm just looking for anything to give her relief.
Susan...you had mentioned that your Mom likes her physician however; if it were me I would obtain a second or third opinion from a center "very" familiar with this disease. It may be troublesome however; this is not a cancer one would want to take any chances with. Let us know if you need help.
Hi Susan,
You mentioned that your mom's bile duct is fully dilated. That would usually be a sign of a stricture, which can lead to indigestion due to a lack of bile in the bowel. You may mean something else. Anyway, if it is a stricture Creon can make sense. I do not have a stricture -- i.e., I am not dilated -- but do have biliary damage from chemo-radiation. I had terrible indigestion, gas, etc. My oncologist, Dr. Lenz at USC, has me on Creon with each meal and a daily probiotic. It has really helped!
Just my own experience, if it helps. I hope your mom feels better soon.
Hi Mark,
How does a dilated bile duct mean bile duct stricture? Seems they're opposite meanings...
Hi Willow,
My understanding is that if there is a blockage or stricture, bile will back up, dilating or enlarging the duct behind the stricture. So before my surgeries, when my ducts were blocked by a Klatskin tumor, they were very dilated on CT. Now they appear more "normal." So, I was trying to understand what Susan meant by "fully dilated."
Take care, Mark
They say there are no strictures, we did go for a second opinion at Emory in Atlanta. They recommended changing the chemo, to Cisplatin & Gemzar and extending 3 more months.

Talk about hitting the genetic jackpot, Gwyneth Paltrow's 11-year-old daughter Apple is her mother's spitting image.
The "Shakespeare in Love" actress uploaded a photograph of her little girl via Instagram on Monday (June 8) and she really does look like Paltrow's mini-me.
She may gave "consciously uncoupled" from her husband, but there was no lack of love in Gwyneth Paltrow's house on Sunday (May 11).
The Academy Award winning actress showed off a Mother's Day photo of her with her two children, Moses and Apple, on Instagram.
While her marriage to Chris Martin is over, Gwyneth Paltrow is still dedicated to being a doting mother to her children.
The "Sliding Doors" dame posted a photo from a past family vacation in which daughter Apple and son Moses join her on a boat in a tropical paradise.
Tending to her mommy duties, Gwyneth Paltrow assisted her little ones with their lemonade stand in Pacific Palisades, CA on Monday (January 6).
We all know that it's time to start thinking about our loved ones' holiday wishes, and Gwyneth Paltrow knows this. The "Iron Man III" starlet just released her children's Christmas lists on Thursday's (November 14) GOOP holiday gift guide.
The 41-year-old's daughter Apple Martin stated that she wanted "an iPod 5, a Lifeproof case for my iPod5 so I can take it underwater and a Kipling rolley backpack."
Making their way to the States for the Christmas holiday, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin flew from London to New York City last night (December 23).
The "Sliding Doors" dame and her Coldplay hubby brought son Moses and daughter Apple along for the transatlantic flight, landing at JFK International Airport ahead of the holiday festivities.
They've long managed to almost never be photographed together be it by paparazzi or on the red carpet, but Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin either let their guard down or were outsmarted by the persistent paparazzi in Santa Monica, CA today (October 25).
Bringing an end to a family-filled weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow took her two young children out for a park playdate in New York City on Sunday afternoon (October 16).
Cheerfully dressed in a bright red sweater, the Oscar-winning actress was all smiles as she watched 7-year-old Apple and 5-year-old Moses cruise down the slides and climb about the equipment during the Big Apple outing.

Topic: CA 19-9 increasing
hello everyone. My dad had a klatskin's tumour and was resected last August. He had chemotherapy gem/cis (4 cycles) and radiation therapy. He couldn't tolerate xeloda, so he did radiotherapy alone. His CA 19-9 before chemo were 140 and before radiotherapy they dropped to 33.
A month ago he finished his radiotherapy treatment and now his CA 19-9 have risen to 98. I've read that its common to have increased levels of CA 19-9 after radiation, but for how long after treatments it is expected to have high levels of CA 19-9?

Why Girls Want American Girl to Commit To Diversity
When I was younger, I owned an American Girl doll, like many girls my age. I wasn't as big a fan as some girls, but I really loved the books that went with each doll. I read all the stories that were in my elementary school's library, and I still remember the different cultures and periods in history that I was introduced to by these stories of original creative, brave, and dynamic girls.
That's why I was surprised when my friend Avery Tyson, who is twelve years old and a huge fan of the American Girl series, approached me to ask for support writing a petition to ask American Girl to include more diverse dolls. I remembered American Girl as being one of the only companies that made a …

The College Football Playoff and the Allstate Sugar Bowl
Tuesday, February 4, 2014
[This story is part four of a series of stories which chronicle the evolution of college football's postseason. A version of this series originally appeared in the Official Game Program for the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl.]
Every Game CountsThe new playoff preserves the excitement and significance of college football's unique regular season where every game counts.
The Best Four TeamsA selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on body of work, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparison of results against common opponents, championships won and other factors.
Best of All WorldsThe new postseason structure creates an exciting four-team playoff that preserves the best regular season in sports and protects America's rich bowl tradition. It goes just the right distance and respects the academic calendar while limiting the number of games played by student-athletes.
A New Year's SpectacleFans will enjoy back-to-back triple-headers. Two semifinals and four other premier bowl games will be played on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day (the Allstate Sugar Bowl will always be played on Jan. 1 at 7:30 p.m., unless Jan 1 is a Sunday, in which case, the game will be played on Jan. 2). Those holidays will belong to college football. Semifinal games will rotate among six different bowls, extending the experience to more fans.
Championship MondayThe championship game will be on Monday night every year.
Site SelectionThe commissioners will select cities to host the Championship Game. A city can host a bowl game and the championship game in the same year. A city cannot, however, host a semifinal and championship game in the same year.
Universal AccessEvery FBS team will have equal access to the playoff based on the team's performance. No conference will qualify automatically.
More RevenueThe popularity of the new format will increase revenue for all conferences and independent institutions.
Conferences Manage the EventThe FBS conferences will manage the College Football Playoff. All 10 conferences are members of the new entity-CFP Administration, LLC. University presidents and chancellors from all 10 conferences and Notre Dame form the Board of Managers and will govern the administrative operations, with commissioners and athletics directors (the Management Committee) managing the event. A small staff in the playoff's office in Irving, Texas, will carry out the detailed responsibilities.
Participants in the New Year's Bowls (Fiesta, Cotton, Peach)The participants in these three bowls will be made up of displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champion from a non-contract conference. Highest-ranked available teams will fill any other berths.
Championship Game SitesThe first College Football Playoff Championship Game will be played in Arlington, Texas, at Cowboys Stadium on Jan. 12, 2015, followed by the 2016 title game being in Glendale, Ariz., and the 2017 championship being in Tampa. The sites for the remaining championships are still to be determined.
PrinciplesThe management committee has charged the selection committee to select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:
Voting ProcessThe voting process will include a series of ballots through which the committee members first select a pool of teams to be considered, then rank those teams. Individual ballots will be compiled into a composite ranking.

Nicholas Johnson Testifies on Assault Weapons Ban of 2013February 28, 2013
Fordham Law Professor Nicholas Johnson testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 on February 27.
He acknowledged the powerful prior testimony of those affected by the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., on December 14, 2012.
"Sitting through the last two pieces of testimony, I will just affirm the instinct that when one listens to the victims of events like this, the impulse is to basically give them anything they want—and I understand that impulse," Johnson said.
"What I would say to people who support the bill, which I have critiqued here, [is] that mine is a counsel of despair, unfortunately.
"My testimony is drawn from an extensive analysis of this question that I published in 2009. My core point here is that the classifications established by Senate 150 [the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013] are unsustainable under the lowest level of constitutional review. They fail even to meet the rudimentary rational basis requirement."
He went on to explain that the characteristics that define the class of guns subject to the ban cannot be sustained when compared on objective measures—primarily multi-shot capability and pistol grips—to other commonly available guns that would not be banned.
Details of Professor Johnson's analysis appear in his recent JURIST post, "Assault Weapons Ban: Constitutional Parameters of Gun Control."
In concluding his testimony, Professor Johnson stated: "My overall assessment here is this: Guns are dangerous. All of them are dangerous. As a class, they are exceptionally deadly, particularly when deployed against unarmed and defenseless people. And on that score, I fear that the conversation we've been having about this particular type of gun is a distraction from the broader issues."

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- After 19 seasons of losing, the Pittsburgh Pirates aren't ashamed to win any way they can.
Neil Walker homered and drove in five runs, Kevin Correia won his seventh straight decision and the Pirates overcame four errors to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 Wednesday night.
In addition to the errors, the Pirates had a runner thrown out in a rundown between third and home. The final three innings of the game were played in a steady rainstorm that featured some vivid lightning.
''We were probably longer on guts tonight than we were execution,'' Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said.
The Pirates committed three of their errors in the seventh, loading the bases while protecting a two-run lead before Tony Watson struck out Chris Young looking to end the threat.
Young vociferously argued the call with plate umpire Larry Vanover and had to be restrained by Arizona manager Kirk Gibson before leaving the field. Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton was also ejected during the dispute.
''It's just a big situation and my adrenaline was running and I just reacted to how I was feeling,'' said Young, ejected for the first time in his six-year career. ''With such a close game, I am passionate about winning and we are in a playoff race.''
Arizona's Willie Bloomquist had an RBI single off Chad Qualls in the eighth, but Joel Hanrahan struck out the side in the ninth for his NL-leading 33rd save.
''That shows you the importance of a big-time closer at the end of the game to go ahead and shut that thing down and get the win and get out of here and get back to your house and bed where it's safe,'' Hurdle said.
Jordy Mercer hit his first major league home run and rookie Starling Marte homered for the second day in a row for the Pirates, who have the majors' best home record at 35-17.
Paul Goldschmidt and Willie Bloomquist had two RBIs each for Arizona, which has lost four of five.
''We had a lot of opportunities the whole game,'' Gibson said. ''Ultimately, we didn't cash in right there at the end, but it was a pretty intense game.''
Walker hit a three-run homer in the first - his career-high 13th of the season - and added a two-run double in the fifth to give Pittsburgh the lead for good. His 65 RBIs lead NL second baseman and his home run total is tied the NL lead among his position.
Walker finished with five RBIs for the third time in his career and second time this season.
Correia (9-6) was far from sharp in his temporary return to the rotation, but he was good enough to earn a win for the sixth consecutive start. He allowed three earned runs in six innings in his first start since the Pirates removed him from the rotation after they acquired Wandy Rodriguez.
Correia was openly disappointed when he was removed from the rotation and reportedly asked to be traded - he later backed off that claim. He allowed four runs in two innings of his only relief appearance since, and is expected to return to the bullpen.
''We're here to please the people who make the decisions of when you get to play and when you don't,'' Correia said. ''Obviously, I hadn't pitched in a couple weeks in a start, and I still felt pretty good... For the most part I felt like I had my pitches when I needed them.''
Ian Kennedy (10-9) was charged with six runs and eight hits in four-plus innings. He had won his four previous starts.
Marte led off the third with his fourth home run in 13 career games, and fellow rookie Mercer opened the sixth with a high home run down the left-field line that made it 7-4.
A night after scoring seven runs in the eighth and ninth for a 10-4 victory, the Diamondbacks pulled to within two with a run each in the seventh and eighth.
NOTES: The Diamondbacks used a lineup without regulars Aaron Hill and Jason Kubel, but both entered the game after the ejections of Young and Upton. ... Despite the rain, the game was never delayed. ... Before the game, the Pirates recalled LHP Jeff Locke from Triple-A and optioned OF Alex Presley to the minors. Locke was summoned for insurance against a bullpen that was shortened by Correia's spot start. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said the team wanted to get Presley, the team's opening day left fielder, some regular at bats. ... Diamondbacks C Henry Blanco underwent successful surgery in Phoenix on Wednesday to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb. He is likely out for the season. ... Arizona's Joe Saunders (5-8, 3.57) faces Rodriguez (7-10, 3.82) in a matchup of left-handers in the series finale on Thursday afternoon.

What is in this article?:
- The Competitive Edge: The Year of the Manufacturing Renaissance?
- Reason for Optimism
Will 2013 be the year of the manufacturing renaissance? Plenty of groups are hoping so. NAM issued its "manufacturing renaissance" strategy over a year ago. Willy Shih and Gary Pisano of the Harvard Business School, as well as Craig Giffi at Deloitte, are leading advocates for policies that will encourage manufacturing innovation on our shores. And Boston Consulting Group has issued a series of reports pointing to a steady rise in new investment in American manufacturing over the next five years.
A year ago, many experts would have even predicted we were on the verge of such a renaissance. Manufacturing has grown faster than the overall economy for several years. Further, in the first quarter of 2012, factory activity took off at a China-like pace, growing at an annual rate of 10%. With a disappearing cost advantage in China, higher U.S. productivity, a fresh awareness of overseas supply chain risks and the comparative advantage arising from a shale gas and oil revolution, a growing number of experts are talking of a dramatic resurgence of American manufacturing.
Indeed, in a recent MAPI survey, roughly one out of five respondents indicated that their companies have returned some activity to the United States over the past two years, and some of those companies plan to bring additional operations back in 2013. The leading reasons for this reshoring include declining labor cost advantage abroad, rising shipping costs and the desire to reduce supply chain uncertainty.
But many hurdles materialized in 2012 to prevent a U.S. manufacturing boom. First and foremost among these, of course, was the fiscal cliff. Combine that with a construction market just emerging from recession, continued economic decline in Europe, mounting concern over new federal regulations and uncertainty over tax rates, and many U.S. manufacturers felt compelled to remain on the sidelines in regard to investments and hiring. As a consequence, industry growth rates struggled to stay positive in the final three quarters of the year.

Some say that America is the land of second chances. If that is true, then what could be more American than a second chance for a musical penned by famed composer Richard Rodgers?
Although Rodgers passed away more than 30 years ago, surviving collaborators Sheldon Harnick (lyrics) and Sherman Yellen (book) hope to bring new life to "Rex," the story of Henry VIII.
At its core, "Rex" is a character-driven family drama only it happens to be the family of the most famous English monarch, said Yellen. " It's a luscious story, it's a great story it's intriguing."
After going through the War of the Roses and with all the problems with Ireland and Scotland, Henry felt that no woman could ever keep the throne and hold the country together, said Yellen. "And of course, he failed to see in his very spirited daughter Elizabeth at least as she is portrayed in our version of events that this is the very person, the son that he has spent the whole first act wanting."
While it certainly has its tragic moments, the show isn't glum, he said. "It has moments of tragedy and great moments of humor. It's the way shows used to be, and I'm hopeful for its success."
"Rex" was originally produced on Broadway in 1976 but never did very well. There are varying opinions as to why: It was America's bicentennial and nobody was in the mood to celebrate our former motherland; the production's emphasis was on the pageantry and not the human drama; American audiences felt "Hair" and "A Chorus Line" were the new direction for musicals; and the original star, Nicol Williamson, was difficult and refused to cooperate with revisions.
The show was shelved and wasn't reconsidered until the York theater in New York contacted the surviving creators.
"They do something called 'Musicals in Mufti,' where they will do an unsuccessful show by reputable people," said Harnick. They found that they have an audience that's very curious about those shows, so the audience will fill their little theater for maybe four or five performances."
Harnick said he and Yellen told the theater it could produce "Rex" on the condition that they have a chance to re-examine the script. "After 30 years, I'm happy to say, we saw what the mistakes were immediately, and we were able to rectify them."
The production at the York was a success, and the play went on to another successful run in Toronto.
The version that will be presented by the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre in Logan, Yellen said, is their "ultimate draft." It will be presented as a workshop, meaning there will be no sets, no staging, no costumes instead, people in contemporary clothing with music stands.
The event is free, but requires tickets.
Yellen said Ted Chapin from the Rodgers and Hammerstein organization will come from New York to see it. "Hopefully he will look at it and say, 'OK, this is fine, I will now put it into the catalog and make it available so anybody who wants to license it can license it.' That's what we're hoping for from this production."
Yellen and Harnick will be there. Rodgers will be there in spirit.
Yellen remembered Rodgers as a man of immense courage. "The fact was, he was desperately ill by the time he came to writing 'Rex,' and he managed to go on to write another musical thereafter," he said.
"I think that one of the best songs that Richard Rodgers ever wrote was called 'The Pears of Anjou.' In the course of the play, the king of France brings Henry a gift, which are these pear trees which will bloom in 10 years' time. Henry is dying and he sings this song about wanting to live and see these pears, the pears of Anjou, the golden, splendid pears of Anjou. At that time, it seemed to me a song that exemplified who Richard Rodgers was, this man who wanted to keep going."

1. the gsi haydens are generally done in future flex construction, & retail for close to $800. hardly affordable. a pure glass build ff hayden wouldn't be too much more, possibly less, & a poly or eps one would definitely be cheaper.
2. it is 100% detrimental to surfing & surf culture b/c when you buy a board built overseas, you're taking money away from a local, or at least domestic, board builder. & it's not like those overseas manufacturers are doing anything revolutionary in terms construction...most of that is happening domestically w/ future flex, coil industries, & a myriad of backyard/small scale operations that are experimenting w/ alternative construction methods, materials, & techniques. the only thing the overseas guys are doing is mimicking those guys & undercutting them on price.
as someone else said, don't buy anything w/ a gsi laminate on it...surfing's version of monsanto.

Motor fuel prices are an important cost component of highway transportation. Changes in motor fuel prices impact the behavior of both producers and consumers, and affect the demand for transportation in terms of level and modal mix. In the United States, motor gasoline prices follow world crude oil prices more closely than motor diesel prices. Changes in motor fuel prices affect the profit margin of transportation firms, particularly trucking firms.

Home improvement retailer The Home Depot has teamed up with the USGBC to launch an online green home products database for builders. Accessible at leed.homedepot.com, the online database is a microsite within homedepot.com that helps builders find products geared toward green home building, many of which may contribute toward earning LEED points and prerequisites for the LEED for Homes program.
The database, which contains more than 2,500 products sold at The Home Depot, is organized by a product "wheel" that allows users to choose a category (i.e., trim) and then see a list of qualifying products. The site also lists the LEED categories under which the product falls—such as Energy & Atmosphere—along with a summary of the LEED point system.
Nate Kredich, vice president of Residential Development at USGBC, says that the online tool is obviously good news for the LEED brand, but adds that it is even better news for the green building industry as a whole, calling it "a revolutionary piece to the puzzle."
"Now we are driving the sustainability message at the product level into the consumer home," Kredich says. "Home Depot is responding to a market need, which is builders and contractors and even some consumers coming into the store and saying, 'I want this product for my LEED home, which of your products apply?' That tells us that the LEED brand is starting to gain some traction, but it also tells us that consumers are starting to be a lot more aware."
The online retail database is also an indication that players from all corners of the industry are starting to come together to find ways to quite literally drive the sustainability message into more homes.
"I think that's the kind of the work that needs to happen," Kredich says. "It's got to be the retailer, the product manufacturer, the NGO like us, the utilities—everybody has to come together and make the message consistent so we can get consumers to start to care."

did not have time to investigate but according to Broadcom.com - 802.11 Linux STA driver ssb support can have undesired effects on functioning of wl driver, and its built in bt4 kernel with the b44 driver. I will check this thing more thoroughly when I will have more time.

2009 Kia Sorento Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2009 Kia Sorento based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Reprogramming the transmission control module with the latest Kia transmission software may fix abnormalities in the automatic transmission and erroneous transmission-related Check Engine Light illumination. Software updates are commonly most effective on newer vehicles. Higher mileage vehicles may exhibit a similar symptom caused by a component failure. However, whenever major transmission repairs are performed the transmission software should be checked and updated as necessary.
One or both head light bulbs may burn out prematurely requiring replacement. There have also been reports of other bulbs burning out often as well.
A defective AC compressor clutch assembly can cause excessive noise or vibration when the air conditioning is on. Improved parts are available. Replacing the faulty clutch assembly does not necessitate replacement of the complete AC compressor or evacuation and recharging of the air conditioning system.
If the engine is excessively noisy on startup (after the engine has been off for several hours) and the noise lasts more than four or five seconds, turn off the engine and check for correct engine oil level. If the oil level is correct, the noise may be caused by the timing chain tensioner. Kia released an updated timing chain tensioner to solve this problem.
The airbag warning light may illuminate erroneously. This can be caused by an internal defect in the control module. Replacement of the airbag control module with a revised part may be necessary to correct this concern.
Make sure the transmission is filled with Kia-approved transmission fluid and at the correct level. Our technicians tell using incorrect transmission fluid or operating the transmission when it is low on fluid can result in internal transmission damage.

Kieran Kane: Six Months, No Sun (1998) MP3/Flac
Contemporary Country
Traditional Folk
Country Folk
On Six Months, No Sun, Kieran Kane continues along the path that he started down first as one-half of the O'Kanes, and then on his first two solo albums, Kieran Kane and Dead Rekoning; solid songwriting embellished by almost understated instrumentation, drawing on country, bluegrass, folk, and rock elements in equal portion. The songs on Six Months, No Sun, most of them penned by Kane, are in a range of styles. The two inspired covers, though, demonstrate his range: the bluegrass standard, "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight," and the pop standard, "What a Wonderful World," made familiar by Louis Armstrong. Highlights on the album include the title track, which is a solid country song, and "Table Top Dancer," which is a rather bleak vignette of working-class life. Another stand-out is "Hysteria," co-written with Irish singer/songwriter Andy White. There are also skillfully worded songs of love gone wrong, including "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight" and "Foolish As That May Be." Relying primarily on acoustic instrumentation (including the fiddle and mandolin of Tammy Rogers), Kane places the emphasis squarely on the songs themselves. His skill as a songwriter is such that the songs are substantial enough to stand such stark relief. While perhaps not as strong as his earlier solo efforts, Kane has made another solid album with Six Months, No Sun.

Zumaya's injury leaves right-handed hole to fill
The team had only been in spring training for a handful of days before Zumaya left the mound on Saturday with right elbow discomfort. An MRI on Sunday revealed the hard throwing righty has a torn ulnar collateral ligament and this type of injury usually results in Tommy John surgery. The recovery time from this injury is usually around 12-months so Zumaya's time with the Twins was over before it even really started.
Before his injury, Zumaya offered hope to a bullpen that struggled to produce on the field last season. The thought of a healthy Zumaya in a seventh inning role leading up to Glen Perkins and Matt Capps was something fans could look forward to at Target Field. Now the Twins will be looking for a variety of right-handed options with little experience at the big league level to step up and produce on the big stage.
There are a handful of familiar names that will now be fighting for a late inning role with the club. Anthony Swarzak and Alex Burnett saw time out of the bullpen last season with Swarzak also filling in as a started on 11 occasions. Burnett found some struggles in his 50.2 innings as he posted a 5.51 ERA with a 1.401 WHIP. Swarzak had some up and down moments but showed he could handle a long relief role and making the occasional spot start. There is a good chance that the organization will be looking to these players to prove they can handle some of the pressure of late inning situations.
Lester Oliveros was one of the key pieces brought to the Twins as part of the Delmon Young trade and the rookie showed some positive signs in his limited action with the club. After dominating in the lower levels of the minor leagues, Oliveros found some sticking points in his travels to the MLB level. His marginal experience at the big league level is a strike against him and the club will surely take this into account when making a final decision on the bullpen.
For the second year in a row, the Twins have a bunch of pitchers in camp in hopes of finding a few options that will be serviceable as bullpen arms. The team had to add Danny Rams, another catcher, to the big league camp in order to have enough men to catch the 32-pitchers with the club. Names like Jason Bulger, Casey Fien, Jeff Gray, and Esmerling Vasquez will be given every opportunity to show they belong as right-handed options for the 2012 Twins.
Most of the available free-agent right-handed relief pitchers have been scooped up by this time of year as clubs were making their final additions before pitchers and catchers reported to spring training. MLB Trade Rumor lists five right-handed relief pitchers who are still on the market. This list includes Dany Baez, Sergio Miltre, Tony Pena, and Michael Wuertz. All of these options are bottom of the barrel relief arms but the Twins could take a flyer on Wuertz who is a Minnesota native and only a couple seasons removed from a career year in 2009.
Overall, the Zumaya signing was a good move but luck didn't fall on the Twins side. Luckily for the Twins they are left with a big chunk of the rest of spring training to find out who will be able to fit into a right-handed relief role with the team. To some of the players mentioned above, this should be seen as a major opportunity to be part of the bullpen turnaround for the Twins. Let's hope some of them take the opportunity and run with it.
