Women's Groups call for 'Leveson debate' to 'wake up' to harm to women [Leveson Report due Thurs 29 Nov]
Women's groups demand new watchdog to confront sexism in the media (The Observer)
A new joint report (WARNING: Nudity) by four leading women's organisations published today (25 November) finds that sexism in British national newspapers is endemic and that it leads to real harm to, and discrimination against, women in
The women's groups are calling on Lord Justice Leveson, the government, the newspaper industry and all those with an interest in the 'Leveson debate' to look at the report's findings and to ensure that portrayal of, and harm to, women informs all proposals for the new press regulation regime.
The report, entitled 'Just the Women' (1), by Eaves, Equality Now, the End Violence Against Women Coalition and Object (2), is an evaluation of eleven British national newspapers' content over a two week period in September this year. It examines how crimes of violence against women are reported, how women are portrayed more broadly, and the general visibility of women in public life. The fortnight's study found over 1,300 pieces of editorial and images which illustrated these issues.
The report's key findings are:
· Crimes of violence against women are frequently reported inaccurately and without context, with a tendency to minimise the perpetrator's actions and to blame the victim
· Some tabloids contribute to the sexualisation of girls while purporting to condemn it; sexual abuse of children is sometimes presented in a way that minimises the abuse and is even on occasion titillating
· In many newspapers women are persistently portrayed as sex objects, alongside the mainstreaming and 'normalising' of the sex industry; this is also an area where the line between advertising and editorial is extremely blurred
· Regarding women in public life, younger women are visible but heavily stereotyped and infantilised, while older, disabled and black and minority ethnic women are less visible, and those in public life are often subject to ridicule.
The report refers to examples of poor reporting over the two week period including:
"Killer Stoke Ace gets life" (Sun) focuses on the loss of a footballer's potential career rather than his extremely violent murder of his 15 year old girlfriend
"Alex Reid won't face criminal damage charges over his late night arrest" (Mirror) reports humorously on the cage fighter trying to break into his girlfriend's house
"British business man accused of rape fails in anonymity bid" (Telegraph), lengthy article about the public school education and successful business history of a man accused of rape
"Soldier stabbed ex-girlfriend to death after he hacked her Facebook account and discovered she'd had an abortion" (Daily Mail)
"CAVORTING provocatively in a tiny pink swimsuit… little Ocean Orrey struts her stuff in a British beauty pageant – aged just FOUR" (Sun) whilst apparently concerned for her welfare, this report on a toddler beauty pageant portrays a young child as acting in a sexy and knowing way
"They bang 'em in Bangor...but there's no sex in Essex" (Sport) is a report on a student sex survey, an example of the frequent focus in some newspapers on the sexual conduct of female students; the report uses the language of pornography ("horny young learners") and is accompanied by an image of near naked young woman in a bar. This story was run alongside a separate story about a sexual violence conviction which was minimising of the offence ('Peeping Tom shower perv avoids prison') and alongside explicit sex industry adverts.
"Pop babe is latest upskirt conquest of papararsey Pete" (Sport) is an example of tabloid newspapers' frequent use of 'upskirt photography' whose captions and accompanying editorial present the images as exciting exactly because the subject is apparently not consenting to the photo being taken.
Reporting on the Cabinet re-shuffle during this period included editorial which was patronising, insulting and humiliating to women including Baroness Warsi and Maria Miller, including reference to women politicians' choice of dress.
In none of these stories was there ever any reference to the scale of violence against women in the
The campaign groups have launched a new website for people to upload examples of #everydaymediasexism. It is hoped this will soon provide politicians and media industry leaders with the views of many others on how many people find sexism in newspapers unacceptable.
Heather Harvey of Eaves said:
"These are categorically not matters of so-called 'taste and decency'. The persistent portrayal of women as to blame for the abuse they suffer, as sex objects and as an insignificant part of public life, is very damaging. We need a full scale debate about how to turn this around."
Holly Dustin of the End Violence Against Women Coalition said:
"Earlier this year the Head of the CPS in
Anna Van Heeswijk of Object said:
"We fear too many of our decision makers are actually unfamiliar with the daily content of the red top tabloids. Page 3 in The Sun is emblematic of the persistent portrayal of women as sex objects in our press, but it is the tip of the iceberg. Page 3 sexism accompanies a daily diet of upskirt photography, double page spreads of naked women with no news value, and explicit sex industry advertisements in newspapers like The Sport, and to a lesser extent The Star and The Sun. These images are so degrading that they were censored by the Leveson Inquiry, and removed from Facebook - despite the fact that they are contained within our unrestricted national newspapers. 'If you don't like it don't buy it' simply will not do when these products are on sale without restriction and thousands of copies are left lying around in public spaces every day."
Jacqui Hunt of Equality Now said:
"The Leveson Inquiry was set up to examine the ethics and conduct of the British press and whether these ever run against the public interest. It clearly runs contrary to the public interest to allow news reporting which regularly, directly or indirectly, has a negative, cumulative impact on women's rights. The Inquiry and the new regime which follows will not be complete unless this critical issue of the portrayal of women is addressed.
"The soft measures we are calling for are reasonable and overdue – a better complaints mechanism, an adjudicating body which includes equality expertise, some consistency with the broadcast watershed for publications carrying sexually explicit material."
The four campaigning women's organisations are calling on the government to examine Lord Justice Leveson's imminent proposals and then to consider instituting a new press regulation regime which:
· Allows third parties to make complaints; and allows for thematic investigations as well as those on individual cases
· Has clear guidance about women's equality in the text of the new code; and has accountable representative(s) of the equality sector as member(s) of the new body
· Makes newspapers' membership of the new body compulsory
· Requires consistency between the broadcast watershed for sexually explicit material and newspapers.
In the longer term, the four women's organisations are also calling for journalists to receive training on issues including sexism and myths and stereotypes about sexual and physical violence; and for the Culture and Media Select Committee, headed by Johan Whittingdale MP, to hold an inquiry into media sexism.
The new report highlights the fact that the government's strategy on ending violence against women in all its forms, and the work being lead by Number 10 on sexualisation which has included Mothers Union head Reg Bailey leading an inquiry and making recommendations on advertising, internet controls, music videos and video games, are both undermined by persistent media sexism and discrimination of the kind discussed.
1. 'just the women' is what Newsnight editor Peter Rippon reportedly wrote in an email to a colleague concerning the lack of other authorities for evidence of Jimmy Savile's abuse.

Judas Priest's Rob Halford to undergo elective hernia surgery
Listen to Judas Priest on iHeartRadio
Judas Priest's Rob Halford says he's planning on getting another surgery before taking off on tour.
In an interview with ABC News, the singer says he's getting an umbilical hernia repaired so he can be in the best of shape, joking that "it looks like the alien just burst forth."
It's an elective surgery, and Halford says his doctors recommended he leave it be after going through a spinal injury last year. But the rocker says it's "not very appealing to look at," and he doesn't mind going under the knife again. He adds that while the music the group creates might be "immortal," the members themselves are "not bestowed with that attribute."
Judas Priest's new album Redeemer of Souls is set for release on July 15th.

A mother in the UK is afraid of her 16-year-old daughter's attitude so she is allowing her daughter's 36-year-old divorcee boyfriend to move in. The mother, who is very upset with the situation had this telling quote, "We took the liberal approach to bringing up our child."

Making kids paint houses and put up fences will help them value their hometown AS WELL as provide
Naturally, there should be one exemption: A kid who earns Eagle Scout (or the less impressive Gold Award Scout) should qualify whether or not he/she has attained the 100 hour mark as their contribution goes above and beyond most community service.
Of course, I also agree with the citizenship concepts of Starship Troopers (you have to do a term of Federal Service to become a voting citizen - ANY federal service: postal service, street cleaner, soldier, sailor, etc.).

Website that publishes embarassing leaked documents censored by China...US!?02/18/08
Wikilieaks.org was a relatively unknown website that publishes stories about and links to embarrassing documents about business, governments and agencies from around the world. It is certainly not surprising that the website would be censored in China out of sheer habit BUT because they discussed the banking shenanigans that go on with money laundering in the Caymans, a US court has stopped the website's name from resolving (ie. Wikileaks.org doesn't work even though the website still exists).
The reason I wrote that it WAS a relatively unknown website is that, because of this US-censorship, direct links to the IP address of the site are spreading throughout the web like Captain Trips. The thing that these corporations generally fail to realize that is not too many people visited or even gave a shit about this website UNTIL they attempted to silence it. People ignore ranting fanatics all the time but once that fanatic is silenced in a way that is contrary to American ideals, the silence is DEAFENING in a way their rants never could have been on their own.
So if you're bored at work today and want to see video of the Japanese nuclear reactor that almost had a melt-down in 1995 (and was covered up) OR read about
Update: Just for your information...
The Judge that ruled in favor of the non-American entity without giving the US-based website a chance to respond is US District Judge Jeffrey White. I hope that any attorney that has to face him in court now will have a better understanding of his views on due process and freedom of speech (you know...some of the annoying parts of the Bill of Rights).
The web hosting company that complied with the judge is Dynadot. It agreed, not only un-link the wikileaks.org name from the website's address, but also to LOCK the name so that wikilinks couldn't just move the name to a new ISP. I know if my ISP did something like this (to one of its customers), I would dump them in a heartbeat. I hope that anyone who has a Dynadot website and cares about the first amendment would find a new ISP.

Lady Gaga to become the first singer to perform in outerspace
Singer Lady Gaga is set to take her talents to outerspace and become the first musician to perform in orbit. The Born This Way hitmaker and her beauty team have booked seats on a Virgin Galactic ship and Gaga will reportedly sing a song which will be broadcast from space as part of the Zero G Colony tech festival in New Mexico in 2015.
A source tells Us Weekly magazine, "She has to do a month of vocal training because of the atmosphere", adding she has taken out "a ridiculous life insurance policy" just in case anything goes wrong.
The pop superstar joins Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have already signed up for the Virgin Galactic program; the stars have paid $250,000 (£161,290) to secure their spots.
The flight guests will experience a few minutes of weightlessness and a view of the earth from 62 miles (99.7 kilometres) above the earth – the internationally accepted boundary of space.

{QUESTION} On a current precast project we are supplying, a vast majority of the panels were out of plumb. We have determined the issue at the plant and corrected it, but a significant number of panels are already manufactured and the schedule does not permit time to replace them. What are our options?
{ANSWER} While no one likes to admit it, construction constraints, timelines, and budgets continue to be more and more demanding. Th is leaves no room for production errors, adding more pressure to precast concrete producers.
On a recent project, very demanding placement schedules required the precast supplier to cast 12 stories of architectural cladding weeks in advance, in preparation for a fast-paced placement. The members were about 30 feet long, 8 feet tall and 6 inches thick, with two window openings per panel.
With minimal onsite staging, multiple tower cranes, and fast-paced delivery coordination the order of 600 panels was installed. During the installation, it became evident that the panels were out of plumb horizontally, typically bowing inward 1 to 2 inches at the center of each panel. With strong concerns for the exterior barrier reliability and visual appearance, immediate action was required to meet the delivery date and ensure project quality.
Cooperation between all parties became critical to finding reasonable solutions and minimizing damages. Both cost and timeline made constructing new panels a last resort for this project.
All parties involved brainstormed for options to solve the problem, even taking into account the profile and location of the mechanical system to allow for enclosure within the interior wall framing. After drafts, calculations, and a field trial, a resolution was approved.
With dedication from designers, contractors, and many other supporting parties, a potential fix was designed to "push" the panels into the correct position.
The panels as originally installed did not have a mid-span connection allowing horizontal flexibility. Also, the cable design within the panels could not withstand the additional outward forces required to straighten each panel individually. The fix included installing an additional anchor at mid-span. Th is pushed the middle of the panel plumb, while the anchors at the end held the panel in place.
Designing a fix to a problem on the fly too often runs into a "catch" that requires re-thinking the plan. To achieve the correct position of the panels, an outward force was required at mid-height. The repair required a mechanical system to be anchored to the existing castin- place deck slab to push against and straighten the panel.
This was easier said than done, as the existing slab was a recently poured, post-tensioned slab with transverse cables near the desired position of the required anchors. The exact location of the mechanical system had to be fieldadjusted to avoid damaging the existing post-tensioned cables while maintaining the ability to complete the fix.
With the cooperation of multiple trades, crane operators, employees willing to work long shifts, and many more willing parties, about 50 panels per floor were straightened to acceptable tolerances. Anchors were drilled into the slab after scanning with ground penetrating radar to locate the existing post-tensioned cables—almost 1200 holes—without incident.
The mechanical system was engaged and extended while monitoring the panels for position and distress. Once at the desired location, the mechanical system was secured and wall framing reinstalled to conceal the fix.
As the construction industry continues to push the envelope with design and construction schedules, issues like this will most certainly continue to arise. Striving to learn from these experiences, and continuing to refine our processes and products will most certainly help limit these issues, but likely not completely eliminate them.

Arguably, you could maybe give the Jerry Seinfeld-Bill Gates a pass for not hitting one out of the park with their first ad, despite the fact that it was a bunt foul in the annals of advertising. And maybe I was a bit hasty with saying that the $300 million that they spent on this ad campaign is wasted
Or maybe not.
You be the judge of this, the next Microsoft ad in the series, which is probably as bad — no, it was as esoteric — as the first one. What's even sadder is that it's not funny.
Not only that, at least the Mac ads are humorous and — hey — the ads actually talk about computers.
It will be interesting to see what comes next. I could understand that you may not want to directly involve computers in an ad — it worked in this ad 24 years ago — but the way the current ad agency is handling Microsoft's ad borders on criminal.
Good thing for us, too.

When Demi Lovato entered rehab she told the world it was because she had an eating disorder. This was despite the fact she had just gone off on a backup dancer with a beat down. Demi admitted later that she had a serious drug and alcohol problem. Of course it did take Demi years to admit that but she finally did. She stuck to that eating disorder story for quite some time.
Ke$ha checked into the same place but I doubt she will be able to stay for months on end like Demi did. It would be great if she could or would but she will feel a ton of pressure from her record label and management to hit the road and support Timber and the new record and make them some money. They will tell her that she can get better after she tours and then they will tell her she can get better after she records another record. It is a vicious cycle and record companies never want to let you off.
When you have the number 2 selling digital single of all time (Tik-Tok) the record company wants you out there and bringing in that gold. I really do hope Ke$ha gets better and listens to herself and the people closest to her.

With iOS, when you are listening to music through your headphones, the music will pause when you unplug the headphones. This is a safety feature to keep your music from loudly leaking through your speakers after your headphones are unplugged either on purpose or by mistake. This being the case, have you ever noticed that after you plug your headphones back in, the music doesn't start automatically? You have to manually tap play again to get that music playing for you again.
Coming to the scene to try and make things better is iOS developer thekirbylover who has just released a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Plugication, which will start playing your music again as soon as you plug in your headphones. Plugication will also work with speakers that you connect through your headphone jack, but it will not work with Bluetooth devices. Plugication is compatible with Spotify, Grooveshark, and other music services beyond just the Music application by Apple.
If you have nothing playing and no music applications open, Plugication will start playing your last-played song when you plug in your headphones. This can be both good or bad – good for having a quick shortcut for playing music, but bad because it automatically plays music even if that wasn't your original intention when plugging in your headphones.
If you're in the middle of a FaceTime, Skype chat, or other kind of video or voice chat, Plugication will not start playing music in the middle of your call because iOS automatically mutes any music when you start a call of that sort. This means you can confidently attach headphones in the middle of a call to help you hear the other person better without having to worry about distraction noise popping up.
The developer, thekirbylover, has an update coming out for Plugication shortly that will include the following features:
- ability to allow music to continue playing when headphones are disconnected
- ability to blacklist applications that you don't want to play when you plug headphones in
- a volume limit for plugging headphones in so high volume doesn't surprise the user
Plugication is great for the on-the-go music listener looking for a faster way to get their music playing. It will work on any iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with iOS 4 or higher installed on it. Since Plugication is free, you can try it out and see how you like it!

Culinary herbs are among the hottest trends in gardening. They also are popular among families who preserve fresh foods for later use.
Nearly 70 percent of home-canners are growing herbs, second only to tomatoes, said Lauren Devine-Hager, a product research and test-kitchen scientist with Jarden Home Brands, which manufactures the classic Ball home-canning Mason jars.
Jarden is paying more attention to that fast-emerging market by developing new recipes, new methods of preservation, and new products for short- and long-term storage, Devine-Hager said.
"When we ask people what herbs they're growing, they tell us No. 1 is basil, followed by chives, cilantro and dill," she said. "These are all great for adding flavor to meals without using much if any salt."
People also are using herbs in ways they haven't traditionally been used, said Daniel Gasteiger, author of "Yes You Can! And Freeze and Dry It, Too."
"Many people just want to know what's in their food," said Meagan Bradley, a vice president of marketing for The Legacy Companies, which markets the Excalibur line of dehydrators. "They're using their own herbs and dehydrating — making seasonings by grinding it up."
Food preservation is a great way to stock up on essentials, Bradley said. "Maybe they work long hours or they want something to tide them over during hurricanes," she said.
Other things to remember when preserving herbs:
•Herbs are among the easiest plants to grow, and can be planted inside, on window sills, or outside in gardens or containers.
•Herbs can be grown from seed, making them inexpensive.
•Shelf life varies depending upon the type of herb, the amount of moisture removed and storage conditions.
•The best time to harvest herbs for drying is just before the flowers first open, when they are in the "bursting bud stage," the University of Georgia's National Center for Home Food Preservation says. Gather herbs in the morning to minimize wilting.
•Many people dry or freeze fresh herbs, while others add them to vinegars, oils, butters, alcoholic drinks, sea salt, soaps and jellies. Preservation in those cases often involves short-term refrigeration or long-term freezing.
•Dry herbs are more concentrated and have a stronger flavor than fresh herbs. "A recipe calling for a tablespoon of fresh basil would call for a half-tablespoon of dried basil," said Angelica Asbury, a culinary analyst with The Legacy Companies.

During our most recent flooding events I was contacted by many people in Levy County who were asking for help with recovery. After meeting with numerous individuals and homeowner groups I was able to bring local organizations together to help some of our residents. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Central Florida Community Action Agency, Inglis /Yankeetown Lion's Club, Master's Hand Food Pantry and Daystar for their contributions. All were able, in their own ways, to improve the lives of those in need and help them through difficult times.

And Benefits For Long Beach Hotel Workers
By Joshua H. Silavent
Staff Writer
November 20th, 2012 – Long Beach voters took to the polls on Election Day and overwhelmingly cast their support for a living wage (or minimum wage, depending on choice of terminology) of $13 per hour for workers in the city's largest hotels. The earliest the law would likely take effect is December 21.
"In terms of what message voters sent . . . it affirms that the City of Long Beach was ready to really look at how quality of life issues matter, regardless of what level of employment or which sector you work in," Councilmember Suja Lowenthal told the Business Journal.
As of November 13, more than 73,500 voters agreed compared with nearly 43,200 who said 'no' to Measure N. Moreover, the ballot measure passed in all nine city council districts (as of press time, several thousand ballots remained uncounted by the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters office).
"You say raise the minimum wage and people agree with that," Leigh Shelton, spokesperson for UNITE HERE Local 11, the union responsible for Measure N's appearance on this year's ballot, told the Business Journal. She noted that voters in the cities of San Jose and Albuquerque, New Mexico, also passed minimum wage ordinances November 6 of $10 and $8.50 per hour, respectively. The minimum wage across the Golden State is $8 an hour.
But the Long Beach measure is unique because it does not apply to all workers in the city, but rather only to workers in hotels with 100 rooms or more.
Measure N also imposes a mandatory 2 percent annual increase in pay regardless of job performance or economic climate, guarantees five paid sick days per year and assures that workers receive 100 percent of guest services charges, such as mandatory gratuities attached to room service.
According to publicly available campaign reports, the Yes on N Committee (or Long Beach Committee for a Living Wage) received nearly $615,000 in contributions as of October 25. The No on N Committee (or Coalition for Fair Wages in Long Beach, sponsored by a collective of hotels) received about $504,000 and the Long Beach Jobs PAC spent about $42,000 to oppose both Measure N and Measure O, which sought to change the city's election schedule but failed.
However, corporate heads placed a kind of gag order on managers from the city's big hotels, such as the Hyatt, Hilton and Westin, which might have ultimately doomed the campaign against Measure N.
"My summary of Measure N is that voters just simply did not understand what it was really all about," Randy Gordon, president and CEO of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, told the Business Journal. "I have a feeling that a lot of people just felt sorry for the maids, and that they have no idea how bad this is going to be for the tourism industry." Gordon conceded that the hotels should have done a better job of getting their message out about how they might be negatively impacted.
The tourism industry is unquestionably a moneymaker for the city, particularly because large hotels host conventions, which bring in big bucks. But both sides of the Measure N debate have advanced this point in support of their respective positions.
For example, supporters say impacted hotels will only need to raise their room rates by about $1.50 per night in order to absorb the cost of Measure N.
"I think it's a flawed argument to suggest the industry would be hurt," Lowenthal said. Opponents, on the other hand, contend that the increase in room rates will make hotels in the city less competitive when trying to attract conventions.
"Given the poor condition of our current economy, I am concerned about any measure that could negatively impact tax revenues and employment," Councilmember Gary DeLong told the Business Journal in an e-mail. "My concern is that Measure N could result in fewer opportunities for employees and reduced tax revenue to the City of Long Beach."
Gordon said that occupancy rates at Long Beach hotels remained below 2007 levels and that Measure N would likely cost impacted hotels millions of dollars annually. "There's no doubt that could cost us a convention," he added. Moreover, he thinks layoffs are probable as hotels feel the pinch of paying increased payroll taxes, in addition to higher wages.
"I think it would be a real shame to have companies sort of use the law as an excuse to layoff workers," Shelton said.
The Best Western Long Beach presents an interesting case study in this debate. It has exactly 100 rooms, and in an article published by the Business Journal prior to Election Day, General Manager Mike Singh said that if Measure N passed, "We are out of business. It is that simple."
There has been speculation that the Best Western might simply close one of its rooms – perhaps turning it into a storage facility – thereby skirting the law by falling under the 100-room stipulation. (Singh did not return multiple requests for comment prior to publication).
An aspect of Measure N somewhat lost in the debate is the fact that hotel workers might now have a mandate from voters to unionize and, consequently, hotels might have reason to enter into collective bargaining in order to negotiate a lower hourly wage.
There are 15 hotels in Long Beach without collective bargaining agreements that are subject to Measure N, impacting about 2,000 workers. Hotel Maya and the Queen Mary hotel are not included because they are already unionized.
"This whole thing goes away if the hotels simply agree to collective bargaining," Gordon said. "In my opinion, the maids will never see $13 an hour."
It is worth noting that if workers at the Hyatt, Hilton, Westin or other impacted hotels choose to unionize, they will incur monthly dues. For example, workers at the Hotel Maya in Downtown Long Beach – represented by UNITE HERE Local 11 – pay $41 per month in union dues, Gordon said hotel sources had told him. Moreover, these same workers also make about $11.96 per hour, a full $1 less than their counterparts might at hotels impacted by Measure N. However, these workers also receive full health insurance coverage.
"If workers end up engaging in collective bargaining, where other employment package items are on the table other than just the wage . . . I champion that," Lowenthal said, adding that healthcare coverage might warrant agreeing to a lower hourly wage. "I think that would be a great outcome."
Only time will reveal whether unionization comes to pass. For now, UNITE HERE is staying mum.
"We're not really in a place to talk about that right now," Shelton said.

As in the last few years, the last weekend in June once again saw the whole triathlon community in the region descend on us here at the Rothsee. This occasion is also a firm fixture in the Memmert family's calendar, just like Christmas or birthdays. Over 2000 athletes turned out in brilliant sunshine to take part in the 29th Memmert Rothsee Triathlon. Not only did Memmert, as...
Tennis players have their Wimbledon, triathletes Roth. For 15 years now, the world's largest and most popular race with athletes and fans alike, is the Challenge Roth. For Memmertian sport and triathlon fans it is a red-letter day, as important as family birthdays and Christmas.
The city of San Francisco isn't called "City of Champions" for nothing.

The longest day of the year ─ at least from the triathletes point of view ─ is the day of the Roth Challenge each year. When you look at the tough numbers you know why that is: 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling and 42.195 km running. That is not the only reason why more than 5000 participants from 70 different nations make the placid, small town of Roth their triathlon Mecca...
The third Memmert Rothsee Triathlon festival has made history yet again and, in our opinion, was a remarkable event - just like in past years. Traditionally, on Saturday, the day began with the classes for children and adolescents, followed by classes for the athletes of the German national league, who were fast as lightning - making the name 'sprint distance' fully justified....
At the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge in Frankfurt, the largest company run in the world with more than 70,000 participants, the team of Memmert GmbH + Co. KG from Schwabach, Germany, once more demonstrated that the development of high-precision temperature control appliances and climate chambers is not their only force.
Like in the past years, the half marathon at the Rothsee lake in Hilpoltstein was a tremendous success and the first big competition of the year many Memmert runners competed in together.
An exciting and successful season is coming to an end for our Team Memmert athletes. Hard training, glorious victories, numerous podium finishes and the joy of sports were the order of the day.
That was 2014:
Local Team Memmert joins 4500 other athletes to celebrate the 30th birthday of the worldfamous Challenge Roth. This year, six single starters and six relay teams from Memmert were back to take the long-distance "challenge" triathlon again. The challenge included a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km cycle followed by a 42 km marathon. As if that weren't enough, the athletes, who are usually...
Despite the rain, the 26th edition of the Memmert-Rothsee Triathlon event was everything but a damp squib. About 1200 athletes braved the weather and made "the Rothsee" to that what it is known for: a unique family-friendly triathlon festival known beyond the region.

Simon Klose's documentary (sold internationally by Autlook) was made available online for free at exactly the same time it screened in the Panorama in front of 240 people.
Speaking at the weekend, Klose said that within 20 hours of the screening, more than 200,000 people had seen the film on YouTube. By Sunday evening, that figure had risen to 603,000.
"That's just the YouTube views. We can't really calculate the file sharing networks," Klose said. "Our dream is to hit a million in this week that we are here at the Berlinale."
The Swedish director revealed that he had received approximately $30,000 so far in donations from those who've watched the film online.
Autlook CEO Peter Jager has also been reporting interest in the film from theatrical distributors.
In Sweden, Klose is taking the film on a theatrical tour through his own company, Noami.
TPB AFK was offered to Sundance but rejected.
"I gave Sundance the opportunity to bring the file sharing debate to Sundance where it is needed the most," Klose commented.
"They didn't let me take the debate to Sundance. You could argue that I am a bitter film-maker but you could also argue that they censored me from debating the future of the film industry."
A number of prominent European broadcasters are already on board the film and have accepted Klose's unconventional release plans.
Readers' comments (1)
I was at Sundance and the World Documentary categories for which Simon Klose's film was not selected, included documentaries on many important cultural, social and political issues.
I would suggest to him that selected films such as "The Square" about the Arab Spring and "Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer" are much more relevant and genuine to the discussion of the issues of censorship and freedom of speech, than his film about a bunch of people who cynically mis-appropriate the issues in an attempt to create cover for their criminal activities. It's perfectly reasonable for Sundance to judge Simon Klose's film as less important in comparison - and for him to cry censorship is preposterous. He's either being cynical or has an over-glorified sense of his own self importance.
Freedom of speech gives Sundance the editorial freedom to both select and not select whatever it wants. For him to regard non-selection by Sundance as a form of censorship - goes against the principles that he falsely purports to defend.
When it comes to the Youtube "views", these figures are nothing exceptional. Go on Youtube and you will find many thousands of uploads with seven figure stats achieved without the publicity campaign mounted for this doc. The internet and youtube invariably exaggerates the audience. For most one takes 1% or less to gauge the real audience potential.

PHOTO: Kelly Rowland bares (nearly) all on new album cover
Listen to Kelly Rowland on iHeartRadio
Kelly Rowland has revealed the, well, revealing cover art for her new album "Talk A Good Game."
The 31-year-old singer shows some major skin in the black-and-white image while striking a pose in a sheer long-sleeved blouse and black panties. If not for Kelly's long, strategically placed hair, the star would have been completely exposed. Talk about a nip slip!
The Destiny's Child singer has been on a hot streak with a series of sexy, bedroom-candy songs like the single "Kisses Down Low" so this cover plays well to that audience. Plus, she's worked hard for that body, so flaunt it girl!
Set to be released June 4, the album also features tracks with Beyonce and Michelle, but Kelly insists it's not a DC reunion jam.
Watch the "Kisses Down Low" video below and tell us: are you planning to buy Kelly's new album?

Season Total: 43
Box Score
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - For the second straight night, a young University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team pulled out an Ivy road win in the final minute. The Quakers recorded their first Ivy road weekend sweep in five years with a dramatic 61-58 win over Yale at Lee Amphitheater Saturday night.
Penn's 13 wins this season are the most since 2004-05. The Quakers (13-14, 6-7 Ivy) won for the fourth time in five games and are 5-2 in their last seven. It was Senior Night for Yale (16-12, 8-6 Ivy) and the Bulldogs needed to win to have a chance at the WNIT. But Penn ended Yale's season with its first win at Lee Amphitheater since 2008.
Just 24 hours earlier, the Quakers outlasted Brown in Providence, 72-66. It marked Penn's first Ivy road sweep since defeating Yale and Brown in 2007. But it marked the first time since 1991 that the Quakers swept this version of the Yale-Brown trip (Brown on Friday and Yale on Saturday).
Against Brown, Penn trailed for only 19 seconds. On Saturday, Yale held a 4-3 lead for all of 36 seconds. Penn, who led by as many as 14 in the second half, did not trail again until a 9-0 Yale run gave put the Bulldogs ahead, 58-57, with 3:10 to play.
Everything was going against the Quakers. Yale had complete momentum, Lee Amphitheater was erupting, and two Penn forwards had already fouled out.
Behind three freshmen, a sophomore and senior captain Jess Knapp, the Quakers remained unphased. Yale never scored again.
Sophomore Alyssa Baron drove the line and found the bottom of the net on a floater for a 59-58 advantage with 2:37 left.
After a defensive stop. Freshman Jackie Kates, who had a game-high 13 points, let the shot clock wind down, then beat her defender and had an open lane in front of her. She connected and the Quakers led by three with 1:45 to play.
Penn got two more stops, but the Bulldogs still had one last chance. Their three fell short with three seconds left and Knapp corralled the rebound to seal the game and the sweep.
Down 4-3, the Quakers went on a 12-2 run to open up a 15-6 lead. That stretch was kick-started by a layup from freshman Kara Bonenberger and finished by a Baron bucket at the 13:41 mark of the opening half.
Yale was within 19-15 near the midway point of the half. But the Quakers held the Bulldogs without a basket for more than four minutes. Meanwhile, Baron, senior Jourdan Banks, sophomore Meghan McCullough and junior Brianna Bradford all scored during a 9-2 run to put Penn up 28-17 with 5:16 until the half.
Yale got its deficit down to six, but a late bucket from freshman Katy Allen gave the Red and Blue a 34-26 edge at intermission.
Penn continued to build its lead behind nine different scorers for the second straight night. After a pair of baskets from sophomore Kristen Kody, the lead was 46-32 with 14:03 remaining.
The Bulldogs tried to battle back. But over the next seven minutes, the Quakers kept the lead in double digits. It was a 10-point edge, 55-45, when Yale scored 13 of the next 15 points to take its second lead of the game - which was nearly as brief as the first due to the Red and Blue's late heroics.
Bonenberger fouled out with 4:55 left. She was in foul trouble throughout the game and played just eight minutes. But she was highly effective in that time with eight points and four rebounds. Banks served as her replacement and had six points and five boards in 23 minutes before she too fouled out with 9:25 remaining.
Baron finished with 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four steals in 37 minutes. Kates scored nine of her 13 in the second half and added two assists. Knapp had seven points, six rebounds and three assists.
The Quakers had 42 points in the paint to Yale's 28. Penn had 13 assists compared to just 11 turnovers. For the weekend, the Quakers had 28 assists and just 23 turnovers.
The Quakers forced 17 Yale turnovers and held the rebounding advantage, 38-33. Penn also tallied 17 second-chance points compared to just four for the home team.
Penn was 24-of-60 (40.0%) from the field. The Quakers took a season-low seven threes and made two. Yale was 22-of-50 (44.0%) overall and 5-of-15 (33.3%) from three.
Just one game remains for the Quakers in the 2011-12 campaign. Penn will visit archrival Princeton at Jadwin Gym on Tuesday night. The game will serve as the first in a doubleheader with the men. Tip off for the women is at 5 p.m., while the men's game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

Solve your family photo mysteries with these books by Maureen A. Taylor:
Horace Twichell had two other daughters: Harriet (born 1826), who married Daniel Malin in 1845; and Henrietta (born 1831), who married a man named Sulla before 1860.
The only sister the family has a positively identified image of is Harriet and her husband, circa 1870.
This is not one of the sisters or husbands in the first image. This man has bushy eyebrows and is much older than his wife. There are facial similarities between the sisters, such as the shape of the face and nose. Unfortunately, there are no other images of the other sisters and their families.
Wedding clues include the presence of the ribbon, the flowers and the similarly dressed women. So who's in the possible wedding image? It could very well be the twins Emeline and Eveline with their sister Irene Jane in the middle. Irene married Dec. 15, 1852, which is a likely date for the picture.
As to the relative's comment about the glass negative, the original for a photo of this era would have been a shiny reflective daguerreotype. Glass negatives weren't available until after 1852, and glass ambrotypes weren't patented until 1854. Someone in the family may have copied the original and ended up with a glass negative, from which TeVogt's image was made.

Hamas holds secret elections, picks Haniyeh as head of Gaza politburo (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Avi Issacharoff 04/25/12)
Source: http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/hamas-holds-secret-elections-picks-haniyeh-as-head-of-gaza-politburo-1.426247
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
Hamas recently held secret elections for the leadership of the organization´s Gaza political bureau, officials in the militant group told Haaretz. According to the officials, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh won the race by a significant margin.
The win in effect makes Haniyeh the Strip´s first recognized Hamas political leader since Israel´s assassination of Hamas´ former Gaza political chief Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi in 2004.
Speaking to Haaretz, Hamas officials said that the utterly covert elections were held less than two weeks ago, in which voters elected the 77 members of the group´s advisory council in Gaza, as well as the 15 members of the Strip´s Hamas politburo, Gaza´s most powerful political institution.
Other than bolstering Haniyeh´s position, the Hamas elections marked several additional and interesting trends. First, two of those released as part of the Gilad Shalit swap deal quickly made their way into the groups´ leadership.
Yehia Sanwar, one of Shalit´s abductors, the brother of whom is considered to be one of the founders of Hamas´ military wing, and Rawhi Mushtaha, his one-time deputy, were both elected to the Hamas´ political bureau in the Strip.
Second, members of the "moderate wing," such as Razi Hamed, Ahmed Yousef, and Salah al-Bardawil did not succeed in getting elected, unlike members of the group´s military wing, such as its head Mohammad Ali Jafari as well as Marwan Issa (Jafari joined the political bureau in the previous elections as well).
Another interesting development is the choice of Imad al-Alami a former member of Hamas´ Damascus bureau, who only recently arrived in Gaza after fleeing Syria, as Haniyeh´s deputy.
Others elected to the political bureau were Khalil al-Hayeh, Nizar Awdallah, and Mahmoud Zahar, who clashed with the groups overseas´ leadership several times in recent months.
Issam Dailes, considered a kind of Hamas finance minister, was unable to make the final list.
Next month, Hamas will hold general elections to the overall politburo, with every one of the group´s chapters Gaza, West Bank, and abroad will choose six members out of the total 18 members of the general politburo. Those members, in turn, will elect the new Hamas chief.
Last December, Hamas chief Khaled Meshal indicated that he would not seek reelection as the organization´s political leader in forthcoming elections.
There has been a widening rift between Hamas leaders in Gaza and those abroad. Palestinian analysts say Meshal recently realized that the Gaza leadership was determined to prevent his reappointment and decided instead to preempt them and quit. (© Copyright 2012 Ha´aretz 04/25/12)

As we try and get users to search before posting (See the forum rules: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=40156 ~ Remember that you agreed to this when you signed up.), it would be impossible to locate anything useful. Hence why there are different categories for different areas...

No, it's not the staff choose, it's the forum rules. The staff just enforces it. If you didn't agree with the rules when you signed up, you shouldn't have continued.

Charlotte, N.C. - Meredith Davenport recorded six hits and Alyssa Miller and Kayla Clemens pitched complete games as the Tornados recorded a sweep over Johnson C. Smith on Thursday afternoon, winning both games at Biddleville Park, 3-2 and 11-1.
Davenport was 3-for-4 in both games on the afternoon, while Chelsi Mallory drove in five runs as the Tornados open the 2012 season with a pair of victories over the Golden Bulls.
Game One: Brevard 3, Johnson C. Smith 2
Box Score
Clemens hit the go-ahead sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth inning, scoring Davenport from third to back a strong pitching performance by Miller (1-0) as the sophomore right-hander went the distance, striking out nine while allowing four hits in improving to 1-0 on the season.
The Tornados broke open a scoreless tie in the fourth inning as Brittany Tucker and Emily Boykin gave Brevard runners on second and third with one out following a double steal.

The Tornados continued to threaten in the inning as Tucker reached on an error, moving Ally Davenport to third with two outs, but JCSU starter Stacy Peralta (0-2) retired the side to end the scoring chance.

Clemens followed with a single down the left field line, bringing Mallory across the plate and Boykin doubled later in the inning, scoring Clemens to stake Brevard to the 3-0 lead.

With one out, Morris started the hit streak with a double to left centerfield, which was followed by singles by Brittany Jones, Meredith Davenport and Ally Davenport before a double by Mallory cleared the bases. Clemens and Tucker followed with back-to-back doubles, completing the damage as the Tornados went up 9-1 after four.
The Tornados plated two more runs in the fifth as Davenport doubled in Morris with one out and Mallory's sacrifice fly to right field scored Jones give Brevard the 11-1 lead. Clemens closed out the game in the bottom half of the inning, striking out the side to complete the sweep.

WATCH: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis join tolerance PSA
Listen to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis on iHeartRadio
Grammy Award-winning hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are speaking out against intolerance.
In a new public service announcement for the USA Network's "Characters Unite" campaign, the rapper-producer duo ask viewers to use their voices to stand up for what they think is right.
Titled "I Won't Stand For...," the PSA uses the pair's hit "Same Love" to introduce the campaign's goals.
Apart from the hip-hop stars, the campaign also features USA stars Matt Bomer, Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres and Reshma Shetty.
In a joint statement, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis say they intended "Same Love" "to help spread a message of love, tolerance and acceptance." They add that the "Characters Unite" campaign shares those same goals.
Check out the PSA below!
