The Year In Music: Too Much Information In 2012?
With 2012 winding to a close, it's the perfect time to reflect on all the events of the past year. Among other happenings in music, GRAMMY winner Adele gave birth to a baby boy; Taylor Swift decided she was never, ever getting back together with a few people; Korean pop star Psy's viral hit "Gangnam Style" became the first video in the history of the Internet to surpass 1 billion views; and the radio performance royalty issue began to see some resolve as an agreement was reached between Big Machine Label Group and Clear Channel Media Entertainment.
Google released its list of top searches for 2012, with the death of GRAMMY winner Whitney Houston ranking No. 1, followed by Psy at No. 2. Adele was named Billboard's Top Artist of 2012 and her GRAMMY-winning 21 ranked No. 1 on the year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart. Topping 2012's Billboard Hot 100 Songs chart was Gotye's GRAMMY-nominated "Somebody That I Used To Know" featuring Kimbra.
Here at GRAMMY.com, there were quite a few events over the past year that got our search engines started. Here's our list of 10 of the more memorable moments of 2012.
Jan. 20: Jay-Z dusted the dirt off his shoulders again, but this time in a big way. Following the birth of his daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, the rapper vowed to axe the word "b****" from his vocabulary. Jay-Z reportedly made this promise to his newborn daughter via a poem:
Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich
I didn't think hard about using the word b****
I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it
Now with my daughter in this world, I curse those that give it
Though Hova would disavow authorship of the poem, when it comes to his daughter, he made clear he just wants to love her. "No man will degrade her, or call her names," wrote Jay-Z. "I'm so focused on your future, the degradation has passed. I wish you wealth, health and insight. Forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel." Very sweet.
April 20: As unlikely as it may seem, late rap icon Tupac Shakur could be gracing the stage in an arena near you soon. Putting a new spin on the term comeback, a virtual hologram of the rapper "performed" alongside Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at the Coachella festival on April 15. Though the virtual Tupac attracted arguably the biggest buzz of the desert festival, it seems this was just the tip of the iceberg. "This is just the beginning," said Ed Ulbrich, COO of Digital Domain, the company that created Tupac's likeness. "Dre has a massive vision for this." According to The Wall Street Journal, that vision could include a massive stadium tour alongside hip-hop stars such as Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa, or an arena run with Dre and Snoop. But be wary of what you'll actually be seeing. "This is an illusion," said Ulbrich, stating the somewhat obvious. Meanwhile, the virtual Tupac on Twitter @HologramTupac now has nearly 25,000 people following … an illusion.
April 27: We know that Ke$ha often wakes up in the morning "feeling like P. Diddy," but what does she do in the wee hours before she even gets to bed? According to a tweet from the pop star, she marks her territory on the streets. In conjunction with a tweet reading, "pee pee on the street. PoPo come n get me if u can find meeee. I blame traffik," Ke$ha shared this photo of herself in the middle of what most of us consider a private act. Hygienic considerations aside, some fans loved getting an intimate peek of Ke$ha's world as one fan tweeted, "LOL stole my move, we are the same person
June 8: Earlier this year we reported that actress Kate Winslet feels like "throwing up" every time she hears the theme song to Titanic. Well, it seems the voice of the song, Celine Dion, sympathizes with her. "If I could just count how many times I've sung ['My Heart Will Go On'], maybe it'll get me sick," Dion said on the "Today" show. "If [Kate Winslet] feels tired just hearing it and like throwing up, I'm glad she was not the one singing it." Fortunately, it seems Dion took Winslet's comments all in stride. This could have been one titanic cat fight.
July 13: It's been parodied or covered by everyone from the Harvard baseball team and a poolside Katy Perry to an animated President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. But, someone we'd really like to call also got into the act. "Sesame Street" star Cookie Monster turned Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" into a lament on his own obsessive/compulsive fixation: cookies. "Me look at you and me tell/You may have Snickerdoodle/Me trade my soul for a bite," sang the perennially cookie-brained Muppets character on "Share It Maybe." Was this the parody to end all "Call Me Maybe" parodies? Call us doubtful.
Aug. 3: Do you remember when "Snoop D.O. Double G" was rolling down the street, sipping on gin and juice? Well, he's probably still doing that, but with a little less bark and a lot more roar. In conjunction with his forthcoming new reggae album and documentary, Reincarnated, Snoop Dogg officially changed his name to Snoop Lion. The rapper reportedly had a "born again" experience during a visit to Jamaica in February and felt connected to the spirit of Bob Marley and is now, as he put it, "Bob Marley reincarnated." "I feel like I've always been Rastafarian," said Snoop. Snoop received his new lionesque name at a temple in Jamaica, and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, which means "light of the world." "Reggae was calling … it's a breath of fresh air," he said. "Rap isn't challenging; it's not appealing. … It feels like I'm 19 or 20 years old again." Snoop Lion is still living young, wild and free, fo shizzle.
Oct. 8: Lady Gaga was caught looking for the edge of the stage rather than the edge of glory during a concert in Barcelona on Oct. 6 as the Fame Monster became the latest pop star to fall ill during a performance. It was unclear whether Gaga had a case of bad romance or bad romaine, but an upset stomach caused her to vomit in the middle of singing "Edge Of Glory." Showing her good sportsmanship, after the concert Gaga tweeted, "Was praying nobody saw but actually it's quite a good laugh if u need one!" Separately, during a concert on Sept. 29 in Glendale, Ariz., Justin Bieber took his beliebers by surprise when he stopped to throw up onstage. Other stars who have reportedly upchucked onstage or backstage include Adele, Kings Of Leon's Caleb Followill and Rihanna. Is there something in the pop star water this year, or were these fame monsters just proving that when they say "the show must go on," they mean it?
Oct. 22: After announcing in June that she and boyfriend Simon Konecki were expecting their first child, Adele rolled out a baby boy. Details on the name and exact birthdate of the tiny tot were not revealed. (Adele has since been in trouble with British authorities threatening to fine her for failing to register her newborn.)
Nov. 8: For Jermaine Jackson, older brother of the late Michael Jackson, "ABC" really is as simple as "123" — and he's proven it. According to an Associated Press report, on Nov. 6 the singer filed a court petition to change his famous last name from Jackson to Jacksun. Though his last name would still be pronounced the same, Jackson claimed the change was for "artistic reasons." We hope this isn't further confusing for Jermaine's sun, Jermajesty Jackson.
Nov. 19: With just a few days left on Rihanna's 777 tour, things really started to heat up. While in flight, British radio/TV host Timothy Dormer reportedly got the urge to strip down to his birthday suit and streak through Rihanna's tour plane. "I was just in the bathroom and was like, 'Hell it's 3 a.m. and we're on an airplane, and have been flying for ages," Dormer reasoned. "Plus, I have a massive crush on Sydney, one of the air hostesses." Fortunately, Dormer made sure to stay away from the Barbadian singer's quarters and security, otherwise there would have likely been a man down.

Motivational / uplifting techno song. More progressive / building style. Specific parts of the song could be looped.
A great track for those looking for something outside of a "traditional" motivational song.

6 suspects killed in shootouts with Rio de Janeiro police
RIO DE JANEIRO – Police in Rio de Janeiro say at least six people have been killed during shootouts between officers and suspected drug gang members.
Rio police are carrying out operations in several slums, hunting for those responsible for the weekend shooting death of an officer.
A police spokesman says the six killed Tuesday were suspected drug gang members. Two other suspects were shot and two police were also wounded in the clashes.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity, saying he wasn't yet authorized to discuss the details of the police operations.
Since 2008, police in Rio have been entering slums long held by drug gangs and setting up a permanent presence. Police say it's a key strategy for securing the city ahead of this year's World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

So comfortable
Bought this for my nephew and he loves it. He wears it almost everyday.
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I bought this for my cousins and it's just too cute! I absolutely love that it comes with little pockets and I think will it be super warm! I would definitely recommend it plus it's super affordable! I bought it in black since we don't know if it's a boy or girl yet so I think the black will be perfect.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I was looking for something that wasn't too light or too thick. This was perfect. Fits him well for the next few months to come. Love it.
SOOOOOOOO adorable! <3
Love it! Own two!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We bought this for our little guy when we visited Reno last year in size 12/18 and we used it all winter. Bought one fore this winter size 2T and use it all the time. Trim enough to fit in car or bike seat, but warm! He's 14 months, so it does run small, but all baby clothes do. We are planning to get one for our niece for Christmas. Great buy!
Runs VERY small
Although this coat is cute it runs terribly small and it is very slim fitting. I ordered an 18-24 month size for my 30th percentile 12 month old and I am very disappointed with how small it is. I used Columbia's size chart to order and went with this size because it is supposedly bigger than a 2T, but there is no way this will fit him when he's 18 months. Columbia's customer service department was useless to me but advised I should have ordered a 3T for my 12 month old (what?!). If this jacket fit properly it would probably be a great buy - its cheap, cute, seems pretty well made and isn't too bulky for his carseat. Too bad he won't be getting much use out of it. Backcountry is awesome but I won't be ordering anything Columbia again.

Hi all,
This is Anupam Datta. I am a power plant engineer working with BHEL, India. Am also an aspiring MBA candidate. I find this forum a good one to brush up basic mathematical knowledge.
Hello Anupam Datta
Welcome to the forum!
Brush up on basics ? Sounds like you could be teaching us a thing or two
By the way; what's an MBA ?

Hi anupamdatta;
Welcome to the forum.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
Hi Anupam Datta,
Welcome to the forum!
bob bundy : The Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The core courses in the MBA program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc. Students in MBA programs have the option of taking general business courses throughout the program or can select an area of concentration and focus approximately one-fourth of their studies in this subject.
It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge - Enrico Fermi.
Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge - Stephen William Hawking.
Thanks for the info, ganesh

I'm Maggie. Retired and living on the South Coast of England. My hobbies keep me busy; cards, scrapbooks (digital and manual), jewellery making and crochet. I've been playing at learning to paint. And now I've found BlogTrains and Pixelscrapper
Introduce yourself!
Hi everyone! I'm Marina of Argentina, and I design as Magical Scraps Galore. I've been digiscrapping for 12 years and designing for 2. I'm 43 years old, and I've been married to Peter for 13. We have 2 kids, Emilia who is 12 and Andy who is 11. I also love photography and travelling.
I can't wait to meet you all!
Welcome! Thanks for saying hello!
Hi my name is Janae. I live in paradise in New Zealand. A small seaside town in a huge mountain range. I am here recooperating after illness and working part time to get by. I was head of graphic design for a company that makes billboards for real estate agents in Auckland city. I was thrown in the deep end and had to learn the whole industry from the ground up suddenly and teach myself everything they do to layout the billboard designs! WOAH! I didn't even know how to turn on a computer! So anyways now I am here! My attempts at making real scrapbooks were sad to say the least! Lots of work that would end up like a childs first art attempt. So sad for me because I love seeing beautiful pages and couldn't produce them. I learned how to do parchment craft ...called pergamano which I do love to do, but was still soooo taken by scrapbooking. I found digital scrapping online all over the place and became enchanted with it ...not that I have done many layouts in fact I prefer just playing around and trying to create elements or using templates to see what I can do with them! lol I love taking pictures of gorgeous flowers and seeing what I can do to make them into lovely elements. I am not a great photographer my any means and have no clue as to what I am doing, nor do I want to learn (memory problems lol) but every one in a thousand yields a gem i can use which is nice. Digital cameras are awesome and a great money saver if you take hundreds of photos! Well thats about it from me or this will be a book! Oh except that apparantly I am a bit of a poet! But thats another story
Hi I'm Angela....I've been playing at digital scrapbooking for about a year...but wish there were more hours in the day to do it. I live in Australia right on the beach so I get distracted by lazing around at the beach with coffee in my spare time. I like that my scrapbooking is within my computer, and that I don't have a million different pieces to get out and put away. My goal by the end of this year is to have printed a nice coffee table book. What else takes up my time...cooking, (look out I applied for masterchef new season), my animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 8 chickens and 2 ducks, and my organic vegetable garden. For the last few years I've been on and off unwell and am at my best I have been for quite sometime. I've been learning (well trying to learn) how to start from scratch with my scrapbooking and definately want to learn more. Anyway, that's me, thanks for reading.
Hi everyone. My name is Julie and I live in Montana USA. I have been a digital scrapbooker for about 6 years, but just the last week of September 2013, I discovered you fabulous Web site! I am a freelance editor/writer/photographer who is self-taught in graphic design, so needless to say I have so much more to learn. I very much prefer digital over traditional scrapbooking, and I hope to hone my skills enough to be able to contribute on a regular basis with good enough content that you all want to download it! I am putting together a website of my work (WordCritterCreative.com) and hope to offer digital designs at some point down the road...What a great community and fun way to promote the creative process of digital design! Thank you Marisa!
Welcome! Thanks for sharing a bit about yourselves. Have fun, there are lots of exciting things happening on Pixel Scrapper this month
I digi scrap now, because I couldn't traditionally scrap anymore . I live with several ailments (I won't bore you with the list of ailments) and intense pain from the spinal/neck injuries sustain in a nasty car accident 15 yrs ago when I was 30. I found this site thought the scrappin' grapevine. I'm going to have a look around. Thank you!
Hi. My name is Shari and I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California, close to the beach but up in the trees. I work in the office at a high school with never a dull moment. I've been playing with graphics on my computer for many years, since I first discovered Paint Shop Pro and the technique of tubing. Did that for a long time, but then my first grandson came along and I decided I wanted to make a scrapbook of his first year. I took some paper scrapbooking classes online and achieved my goal. That then led to creating cards. I've always loved trying online tutorials and classes and ended up taking some Hybrid Scrapbooking classes at JessicaSprague.com and loved that I could print out my own embellishments and papers to use on pages and cards. In an effort to convert to Photoshop I decided to take her beginning digital scrapbooking class and now I'm hooked. I stumbled on to Pixel Scrapper last weekend and this seems like a wonderful place. What really intrigues me is the idea that, gee, can I make my own papers and embellishments? I'm looking forward to exploring that and checking out the tutorials. Thank you for having me here.
Welcome Shari, Blue Cat and Scarlet!
Welcome everyone! So many new faces! It's fun to have you all here.
Hello, my name is Lisa and I'm from northern California. I've been doing paper scrap booking for about 10 years now and just recently started to do digital, but i already love it.

My name is Barbara, and I live in Poland, Europe.
I am a bit shy to introduce myself, because I am so new for scrapbooking...
But I love all paper stuff, I love to paint, I love to make cards, bookmarks, and I have just discovered digitals designs.
I have no idea how to use Photoshop etc.., so I will just admire your works, and maybe I will learn something someday....
Welcome everyone! I like your name Shari [my nickname is Shari]
Hi everyone!
Love this site for all the great resources and tips that help me digi-scrap all the photos I'm taken.
Photography, digital scrapbooking, cooking, reading, animal rescue, and trips with my dear husband keep me busy now that my two kids are 16 and 19 years old and entertain themselves (work, friends, and not wanting to go on trips with us...LOL).
I've lived in western Oklahoma all my life and love to travel every chance I get.
Hi I'm Maddy and live in Ireland. I started scrapbooking with real paper and elements about 3 years ago, but only learned how to use photoshop propperly earlier this year, and since then ... I haven't looked back ~ I LOVE digital scrapbooking Thank you sooo much for this amazing site and so much inspiration. I really enjoy stopping by also learning new challenges, always trying something new. Keep up the great site
Welcome everyone, you are going to love it here! ^_^

Hello everyone! My name is Tanya and I living in Southern Minnesota. I am going to be 42 at the end of this month - how did that happen? I am mom to two awesome young men. Joseph is 21, is in the Air Force and is in North Carolina and Blake is 20, lives near Des Moines, IA and just got his first adult job out of college as a welder. My husband and I are empty nesters, so navigating through that I am a graphic designer and own my own screen print, embroidery and graphic design business. I also dabble in photography. Most recently, I have started decorating items with dye sublimation which is a ton of fun!
Hello everybody, I'm Sandy ..Swéswé in the world of scrap ..I'm 34 years old, I've got 1 man, 3 children, 1 cat and 2 rats !
I started scrappe in 2008 but in 2011 i stopped it, and now I would like to do it ... My passions aside from scrap are reading (Franck Thilliez, Nicci French and a lot of others ) and sewing ...Sorry for my english
Go, I will visite the forum ..
Hi, everyone! I'm Amy from Texas. I have been scrapbooking for years, but I'm just recently getting into digital scrapbooking. I love it! I scrapbook for my daughters (Savannah - 17 and Macy - 5).
Hi Marissa - I'm Gillian & I live in London. I came across Pixel Scrapper only a couple of days ago & it was a complete breath of fresh air I love the way it works - so friendly. I have always been into crafting in one form or another right from an early age, so I dip in and out of different projects all the time. I am drawn towards anything to do with the sea & the beach - guess that what comes from sailing boats for 15 yrs .
Anyhooo, I work as a Media Resources Officer in a 6th Form College (students aged from 16-19) and have been here for years - I love my job. I get to do all kinds of creative stuff from designing to photography to repairing equipment, there's never a dull moment. I just wish that there was more time for me do do my own stuff - I have a table of art projects half finished and a mac ext HD with loads of nearly finished digi projects. I mainly use in-design & dabble in Photoshop then use distress inks & stamps. At the moment I am seriously thinking of doing project life for if nothing much happens in the week it will least ensure that I actually finish some small pieces of art work in whatever way I feel like for that week. Keep up the great work you are doing.
Kind Regards - Gillian
Welcome ladies! Glad you stopped by! Now come have fun with us
@Sandy: Does your cat don´t eat your rats? I´m a cat lady myself (I have 5 rescued adult cats) and can´t imagine having little animas at home...
@Lorien:No, my little Leon wanted to play at first, but now it is next to the cage and looks .. But I put more against the cage in the dining room, you never know..
Hi! My name is Araceli, I'm 48 years old but I feel youngh. I'm from Argentina, in South America. I'm a mom of Celeste, 8 years old , Katya , 18 years and Mauricio , 19. .
. I found her site by recommendation of my friend Vickie Martinez, a genius of design known as Osa Honey. I love the design, but I have no time because I work and I have the 3 guys. What little I saw, I turned out fantastic, congratulations and I'll try to do it all.
Sorry about my english, I know isn't very good, and Google translator REALLY doesn't help at all
Hi I'm Diane, and I live in Colorado Springs. I'm a 50 something mom to two cats named Laptop, and Tigger. I have been Letter Carrier with the US Postal Service for 35 years and looking forward to retiring in a few more years. I don't actually scrapbook but I enjoy learning how to use Photoshop and found the tutorials here to be a great help. I do like to make cards, so those are almost like a mini scrapbook page with out a picture. I recently started to create my own background papers, as I could never seem to find exactly what I wanted, so figured making my own would be the way to go. I just wish I had more time to spend working with Photoshop and learning more of what I can do with that program. I look forward to spending more time here at PixelScrapper and getting to know more of you.

I bet that nun is going to big trouble as well, dun dun dun!
Yeah I saw that, (gokusen 2) it was hmmm how shall I put it, random and same-ee. It was funny though but... I don't really think I'm that much of a critic, stories don't have to be perfect for me to like them. I liked the KATTUN song in it as well.

Spoiler to episode three, only a little but you have been warned!
I just realised the one pound gospel is being somehow provided by massuki - sailor spork. On Veoh, something like that.
I thought that he was going to be too heavy because a comment someone else made but he made it. What I don't get is that he does so much exercise so I know he eats a lot but shouldn't it couter it. Kame-kun was really grrrr! It must be fun to play that character, he is so obsessed. Argh, the boxer woman's kid (I think) was getting bullied. I mean that in a sad sort of way, okay I'm not going to say anymore I know some peopk haven't watched it. I think I said too muc let me put a warning up. Ha ha haaa
Is this a spamming board, guestbook or chat?

This was a bittersweet episode . I felt bad for Kosaku , his outlook towards love is innocent and childlike but in a way pure . His whole life is motivated solely by love, but the problem is the lady in question cant return or acknowledge it due to her trappings as a Nun . Kosaku having a happy go lucky personality doesnt realize it , but in this episode he did through the supposed rival . But seeing Kosaku you wonder how it would be if love was so simple and innocent with all that mattered was heart .You sometimes wish for such kinda love : )
Overall a nice episode I really felt sorry for Kosaku during that one scene where he says Sayonara to Sister Angela . I hope Rumiko doesnt create this forbidden romance into a forbidden love Triangle . As we all know Rumiko main lead are very gullible and outright losers . The beauty of her character is though you may laugh at them deep down you can relate to them in some way : D

The Rare Visitor
Episode 4 was great.
Thanks to the staff of massuki and sailor Spork for bringing this up.
I've read the manga until volume 3 some years ago, I don't know if Viz released the 4th volume yet. So I have yet to end the manga.
I don't remember every detail but the dorama differs a lot from the manga, with new characters, different plot ans situations. But I had to surrender myself to this 4rth episode, it was well written.
But, What does mean "The hands of the clock will overlap", does it have a special meaning in Japan, like a positive meaning or something like that? It seems so.

Posted on 12/02/2005 3:50:24 PM PST by kronos77
Tribunal Update Tribunal home Kosovo Jubilant at KLA Acquittals
Kosovos majority Albanian population welcomes result of Hague tribunals first case against former guerrillas.
By Janet Anderson in The Hague (TU No 432, 2-Dec-05) The streets of Pristina erupted with flags, horns and celebratory gunfire on December 1 as news spread that the Hague tribunal had acquitted two of the first three members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, ever to face trial there for war crimes.
Judges in The Hague sentenced one former foot soldier, Haradin Bala, to 13 years in prison for his role in a KLA prison camp in the village of Lapusnik where Serbs and suspected Albanian collaborators were tortured and murdered in 1998.
But they declared themselves unconvinced that former commanders Fatmir Limaj and Isak Musliu had played any role at the facility. Limaj, who held a senior role in the guerrilla army which helped drive Belgrade security forces out of Kosovo, gained a high profile as a politician in the wake of the conflict.
While the verdict has met with a predictably downbeat response in Serbia, reactions amongst Kosovos majority ethnic Albanian population have been jubilant. Many feel that the court ruling, despite confirming that horrific individual crimes were committed, vindicates the KLA as an organisation.
The judgement comes at a particularly welcome time for Albanians in Kosovo, with talks set to begin on the future political status of the region. Most hope that the process will result in independence from Belgrade.
Observers in Pristina described a collective sense of relief as the judgement hearing in the case was broadcast live on television screens in homes and bars across Kosovo.
The resulting celebrations were a far cry from the dire predictions published in local newspapers of what might happen if the three were found guilty. Just two days before the judgement was issued, an estimated 20,000 people filed through the streets of Pristina protesting the innocence of the three men.
When Limaj went to The Hague in 2003, Kosovos then prime minister, Bajram Rexhepi, declared that the trial would give the accused a chance to prove his innocence and the purity of the war that was led by the KLA.
Some observers now see particular significance in the judges decision to dismiss charges of crimes against humanity against the three accused. They did so on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence that the atrocities at the Lapusnik camp were committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population.
Its been understood here as a cleansing of the resistance, said Petrit Selimi, the managing director of Pristinas new Daily Express newspaper. The verdict, he explained, has been seen as recognition that there were [individual] crimes, not a campaign.
Kosovo parliamentarian Enver Hoxhaj told IWPR that the judgement is a good message while Kosovos final status talks are going on, explaining that it has given the local population a feeling that they are supported by the international community.
With Kosovos president Ibrahim Rugova in bad health and former prime minister Ramus Haradinaj currently awaiting a Hague war crimes trial, there have been concerns that Albanians will lack a strong figurehead for the talks on Kosovos future.
Analysts in Kosovo told IWPR that Limaj is viewed by some as having the potential to fill the vacuum. Selimi explained that Limaj is now viewed as a sympathetic figure because of the dignity with which he went to The Hague.
Hoxhaj, who is a senior member of Limajs Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK, told IWPR that he thought Limaj would step back into the crucial role he played in the party before being indicted. We missed him, he added.
The judgement has also served to support the view that Hague tribunals first case involving former KLA fighters was in fact only launched as part of an effort to show the courts impartiality with regard to the various parties involved in the Balkans conflicts of the Nineties.
A series of senior Serbian generals and politicians, including former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, have been indicted for their role in alleged ethnic cleansing in Kosovo in 1999.
There has also been speculation about what consequences the outcome might have on the joint trial of Haradinaj and two others said to have been his subordinates in the KLA. They are charged with involvement in the abduction and murder of Serbs, Roma and suspected Albanian collaborators.
Edgar Chen, a long-time observer of proceedings at the Hague tribunal for the Coalition for International Justice, told IWPR, however, that it is important to remember that these are two distinct cases. Haradinaj is charged under a different set of alleged facts, he said. Judges will have to consider Haradinaj's case on the evidence that [prosecutors] and his defence presents.
The judges hearing the case against Limaj, Musliu and Bala in The Hague appeared keen to emphasise that the acquittal of two of the accused did not mean that crimes had not taken place.
They underlined that civilians had been held in horrific conditions at the KLA camp in Lapusnik, with gross overcrowding and some chained to the wall; KLA soldiers, often wearing hoods to hide their faces, beat inmates into unconsciousness; detainees, including some who had been shot, were denied medical treatment despite the existence of a clinic in the village where KLA personnel were treated.
Apart from three prisoners who were murdered at the camp itself, Bala was also found to have taken part in the massacre of nine prisoners in nearby mountains.
But the judges said they were not satisfied that Limaj and Musliu held positions in the KLA which would have made them responsible for the camp.
While there was a strong possibility that Limaj had been personally present at the facility, they said, there was not enough evidence to convict of personal involvement crimes there. As for Musliu, the judges ruled that there was in fact little evidence to identify... [him] as having any kind of involvement in the prison camp.
Meanwhile, reactions in Belgrade to the verdict have been unsurprisingly gloomy. Rasim Ljajic, president of Serbias National Council for Cooperation with the Hague tribunal, told the Beta news agency that the result would bolster the positions of those who are hostile to the United Nations court.
Janet Anderson is IWPRs programme manager in The Hague.
hmm, if they were acquitted, whats wrong with celebrating? am i missing something?

Photo shows Albanian Child in City that is purged from Christian children, showing Che Guevarra-style poster of Albanian national hero, with Albanian national hero statue behind childe in a place of demolishen Christian king Lazarus statue, that was demolished on ver day that NATO entered city.
Limaj was comander of camp in wich people were killed. He was acquitted regardless of his command responsability on which accusation against Milosevic is based.
No Serb were acquitted sofar.
Did they acquitted Auschvitz commander in Nurberg?
Limaj and Musliu, who operated a prison camp in the village of Lapusnik in which 23 Serb and Albanian civilians, suspected of collaborating with Serbian forces, were killed, arrived in Pristina on Thursday night, greeted by a crowd of their supporters. They were acquitted by the Tribunal on Wednesday, while a third indictee, Haradin Bala was sentenced to 13 years for killing nine civilians.
Title is marked separatly, and qoted properly.
Im not sorry for my opinion.
Answer: Who is Bill Clinton.
When people change titles, searches don't work.
nuff said.
I'm sure they are carrying on just like that Palestinian woman cheered after 9/11.
Justice will come to Kosovo along with the peace that the Serb Army will bring.
Spell checkers can be your friend.
The place for opinions is in the "comments" section of the posting, not in the title.
You are dealing with a group of propagandists with a foreign agenda and an un-American relationship to the truth.
Don't I know it - I could smell their crap even from three miles upwind from it. Thus I was constrained to more polite forms of expression.
O.J. has got nothing on these "innocents".
Yes, and the Communists oppressed and killed their own Christians as well.
Leftists are scum, didn't you know that?
The difference now is that NATO has joined in the fun and has supported the KLA continuing pogrom against the Serbian Christians while the remaining Communists are safe outside of Kosovo.
KLA rebels train in terrorist camps
Did you think for a moment that the humanists in the Hague would convict an Islamic of murdering subhuman Orthodox Christians?

NEW YORK, July 2 (Reuters) - As an increasing number of
American companies warn their earnings will fall short of
expectations, many are pointing the finger at Europe as the
As the second-quarter corporate results season gets underway
in the next few weeks, the euro zone debt crisis, weak European
demand, the euro currency's decline and the impact of it all on
the global economic environment, will be front and center.
A Thomson Reuters study of 85 Standard & Poor's 500
companies that have warned investors their earnings would be
worse than expected in the quarter shows at least 20 cited
Europe specifically, 15 noted currency movements and 12 talked
more vaguely about uncertainty due to global economic
conditions. Most of the others were not specific or had more
unique or isolated problems.
Even the handful of big consumer products companies which
are saying that China's slowing economy is starting to hurt
their sales can also see the euro zone's hand in it all. Many
Chinese factories are being hit by reduced export demand - from
So while the news may have brightened somewhat at the end of
last week because euro zone leaders agreed on a series of
crisis-fighting measures, it won't take Europe - where many
economies are either in or close to a recession - out of the
corporate news headlines in the next few weeks at least.
"Europe is clearly a headwind impacting demand for goods and
services," said Kathy Karlic, group vice president at Wilmington
Trust Investment Advisors in Buffalo, New York. Wilmington Trust
manages $70 billion in assets.
Some 14 percent of all S&P; 500 company sales come from
Europe alone, according to S&P; data.
The overall effect is significant. The number of companies
that have said second-quarter results will be worse than
forecast outnumbers those who say the picture has brightened by
3.62 to 1 - the most negative it has been in almost 11 years,
according to Thomson Reuters data.
Companies that have cited Europe run the gamut, from
personal computer maker Hewlett-Packard to consumer
staples company Procter & Gamble and coffee chain
Last Thursday, Ford Motor Co said its losses from
outside North America could be triple the $190 million posted in
the first quarter, largely due to the headwind from Europe.
Overall, S&P; 500 second-quarter earnings growth is seen at
5.8 percent from a year ago, the data shows. But once you
exclude the stunning growth expected from Apple Inc and
unusual comparisons with a bad year-earlier quarter for Bank of
America, earnings are expected to decline 0.4 percent.
Revenue is seen up just 1.7 percent for the quarter, the data
Investors typically look to earnings reports to give stocks
a lift, but if guidance is any indicator, companies are feeling
a lot more pessimistic than optimistic.
The euro's weakness against the dollar has an immediate
translation impact on the dollar earnings of U.S. companies with
big European operations. It also tends to make U.S.-produced
goods less competitive overseas. In the second quarter, the euro
has fallen 5.2 percent against the dollar.
"We have a strengthening dollar, which is not going to be
good for multinationals that have foreign operations," said Jeff
Schwarte, U.S. equities portfolio manager for Principal Global
Investors in Des Moines, Iowa. The firm manages $258 billion in
Mike Kovar, chief financial officer at consumer accessories
company Fossil, warned that the dollar's strength was
expected to reduce the company's second-quarter and full-year
Negative-to-positive guidance is the worst in the consumer
discretionary sector at 21-to-1.
That is despite an 18-percent decline in oil prices
in the second quarter, which is expected to have reduced energy
and material costs for corporations and consumers alike.
In its last quarterly report, Starbucks said it suffered its
first decline in same-store sales in Europe since 2009, with
particular weakness in Ireland and Germany. "The situation is
very, very tough," Chief Executive Howard Schultz said of
Europe's economy.
Another consumer discretionary company, Priceline.com
pointed to Europe and the decline in the euro in its
quarterly forecast, which warned of slower second-quarter
bookings growth.
In the technology sector, Hewlett Packard, NetApp
and Applied Materials were among companies that cited
Europe in their outlooks.
"Europe is one tough place to do business right now, and my
personal prediction is that this is going to get a little bit
softer before it gets stronger," Hewlett Packard CEO and
President Meg Whitman said on the company's May 23 earnings
conference call.
And it is not as if companies are getting a lot of
offsetting help from the rest of the world. U.S. economic growth
has failed to pick up momentum this year with U.S. gross
domestic product up at only a 1.9 percent annual rate in the
first quarter, data showed on Thursday.
U.S. corporations' worries about China, though less severe
than fears about Europe, add to the dampened outlook for
overseas business. Persistent slowing demand, not just in Europe
and the United States but also in China, was behind a June 20
reduced forecast from Procter & Gamble.
Also, Nike Inc, which on Thursday reported earnings
below expectations for the quarter ended May 31, said advance
orders growth in greater China had dropped sharply from a year

Client requests can be performed with the identity of an alternate user by using the feature called user mapping. In user mapping, the client identity is mapped to the identity of an alternate user. After a BIND operation, the Directory Proxy Server submits subsequent operations as the alternate user.
When a client identity is mapped to another identity, requests from that client can be forwarded to the backend LDAP servers by using BIND replay or by using proxy authorization.
Client identities can be mapped to alternate identities either locally on the Directory Proxy Server or remotely on an LDAP server. Figure 19–5 and Figure 19–6 illustrate local mapping and remote mapping.
In local mapping, the identity mapping is configured in the Directory Proxy Server. The configuration cannot be changed without reconfiguring the Directory Proxy Server. Local mapping can be configured for unauthenticated clients, authenticated clients, and for clients authenticated by proxy.
In remote mapping, the identity mapping is configured in an entry in the remote LDAP server. The mapping can be changed by modifying the entry in the remote LDAP server. It is not necessary to reconfigure the Directory Proxy Server to change the mapping. Remote mapping can be configured for unauthenticated clients and for clients authenticated by proxy.
Remote mapping must not be used for data sources configured for BIND replay. In BIND replay, the Directory Proxy Server forwards a client request by using the authentication provided in the BIND operation. However, in remote mapping the client DN and password provided in the BIND operation are mapped to an alternate DN and password. The client's password cannot be retrieved from the backend LDAP sever.
If the user mapping is enabled but the mapping fails, the client identity is mapped to a default identity. A user mapping can fail when a client identity is mapped to a non-existent alternative identity or when there has been a configuration error.
For information about how to configure user mapping, see Forwarding Requests as an Alternate User in Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 Administration Guide

Futurama is coming back! The animated series, loved by many geeks, is the second show in the history of television to be brought back to life after a cancellation (the other one's Family Guy, also by Fox), mostly due to strong fan demand and very good sales from the series of direct-to-DVD films. Comedy Central ordered 26 new episodes to be made, and airing will start in mid-2010. Matt Groening, one of the two show's creators, said: "We're thrilled 'Futurama' is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000."

Holier-than-thou, an adjective, meaning "marked by an air of superior piety or morality". Everybody has moments in their life where they get into a "holier-than-thou" attitude, and I think Steve Jobs' open letter regarding Adobe, and Flash in particular, really fits the bill. There are three specific points I want to address to illustrate just how holier-than-thou, hypocritical, and misleading this letter really is.

I need to weigh in on a couple of points:
Jessica's comments re the convenience factor vs face-to-face uses of media
are...well, charmingly retro. The fact of the matter is that pedagogy (at
least in higher ed) is changing radically, as educational culture, student
demographics, and faculty demographics, too. The physical classroom is
only one of many places where learning and teaching occur--in other words,
teaching in many cases is moving toward a "learner-centric model" and away
from the model in which a pundit stands at the head of the class and
expounds. Tools such as learning management systems have facilitated
these generally beneficial shifts. BlackBoard and other LMSs, when used
creatively, offer considerably more than convenience--they offer new ways
of structuring teaching and learning.
The delivery of intellectual and pedagogical content 24/7 is no longer a
luxury...it's a fact of life and an expectation in the academy. I think
most of us on this list are willing to pull that off for video. (Although
I think it will continue to be an uphill battle to educate faculty in this
area) Doing the honorable and ethical thing on our part, however, will
mean that distributors (at least distributors of educational and indie doc
works) will need to meet us half way when it comes to developing
reasonable pricing structures and delivery models which meet the the
long-term needs of the institution and the changing nature of education.

I read on the book "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" a suggestion not to wake the baby when she falls asleep on the breast in order to burp her.
What is the best thing to do?
Not burp her at all and put her to bed?
Or wait and burp her after a while?
I realize sometimes she is so relaxed nursing that she does not seem to have air bubbles and she sleeps just fine after it.
But sometimes she is a little fussy in the beginning and I am assuming she swallows more air, because sure enough, she seems gassy when sleeping, uncomfortable.
What is the recommendation?
Is it bad at all to not burp the baby?

Spectacular British, Islamic collections headline Heritage Auctions event in New York
A gold medallion struck by the Qajar Dynasty ruler Fath Ali Shah (1797-1834). Estimate: $75,000 - $95,000.
An unprecedented selection of high-grade ancient and world coins ranging from the dawn of numismatics to most modern corners of the globe and featuring several important collections highlights the 2,800+ lots in
Heritage Auctions
' Jan. 6-7 World & Ancient Coins Signature® Auction and an additional 3,400 lots offered Jan. 15-16 during Internet sessions on HeritageLive.
"Unquestionably, if you are a collector of world and ancients, I am certain that you will find one or many great additions to your collection," said Cristiano Bierrenbach, Executive Vice President of Heritage. "These two events represent the most depth and diversity Heritage has ever offered in the long history of world and ancients in our company."
More than 250 consignors are offering 6,200+ lots for Heritage's Official Auction of the New York International Numismatics Convention (NYINC), taking place Jan. 6-7 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Lots are open for bidding now online at HA.com/3021, and will be available for viewing starting on Jan. 4 and going through Jan. 8.
International coin collectors will also be able to view an exclusive exposition of the famed Norman Jacobs Collection of Indian and Taiwanese Coins on display in Heritage's Legacy Room at the Waldorf-Astoria. The Jan. 15-16 auction event on HA.com marks the largest non-floor session for ancient and world coins in Heritage's history.
Several important collections anchor the NYINC auction event and include The Sunrise Collection of Islamic Coinage, one of the most comprehensive collections ever assembled with a special focus on Persia (modern Iran) and Mughal India. Assembled by a California collector over a 40-year period, the collection contains nearly 900 gold, silver and bronze coins dating back to within a few decades of the Hijra, Mohammed's exodus from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD.
Chief among these is a spectacular gold medallion struck by the Safavid Persian Shah Sulayman (1668-1694), another gold medallion struck by the Qajar Dynasty ruler Fath Ali Shah (1797-1834)and a superb portrait gold Mohur of the Indian Mughal Emperor Jahangir (1605-1628), depicting the ruler delicately sipping from a goblet.
"The collector has a terrific eye," said David Michaels, director of Ancient coins for Heritage. "Featuring graceful Islamic calligraphy and design, virtually every coin is a perfect specimen and many are extremely rare or unique."
The auction's selection of modern world coins is highlighted by The Kairos Collection, a group of 19th century British coins holding particularly beautiful examples of an 1847 Victoria Gothic Crown, displaying virtually flawless surfaces, an 1831 William IV Proof Crown, and an 1871 Victoria gold Proof Sovereign, of which no more than 20 of the type are known.
"Many of the coins in the Kairos collection shouldn't really exist in such superior condition," said Bierrenbach. "The excitement over the jewels in this collection started early when the images were first loaded to ha.com. I can't wait to see these wonderful coins cross the auction block at NYINC."
Additional notable collections include The Cecil Webster Collection of Costa Rica, which includes many scarce and rare issues of the Central America Republic and Costa Rica; The Ariagno Collection, holding a wide range of European rarities including a rare large 12 Ducat of 1629 from Austria; and The Elizabeth Charters Collection, featuring further gems and super gems from Great Britain, German states and other European issues.
Further highlights include, but are not limited to:
Two Rare Brazilian Ingots rarely offered at auction. The first, a Pedro II gold ingot of Serro Frio 1832 includes a Guia or certificate one of a handful Ingots are known to exist with their respective Guia. The second, a Joao VI gold ingot of Goias 1821, comes from the mines of the remote state of Goias and is one of the toughest types to find.
A classic large gold Nicholas II gold 25 Roubles of 1896.
Two Proof Double Guineas of Great Britain, the first being Tanner's exquisite 1768 George II pattern gold double guinea and the second being a 1733 Young Laureate Head George II pattern gold double guinea, both of which are of importance and beauty.
A perfectly struck proof of an 1862 Essai 100 Francs of France, the finest example ever offered by Heritage.
A rare solidus of Avidus from the West Roman Empire of 5th Century AD.
One of the rarest gold Sovereigns, the 1926-S Australia in MS64.
A gorgeous large gold 1703 5 Ducat of Hungary in choice uncirculated condition.
A scarce and choice 1916 Gold Dollar of China.
A beautiful Siculo-Punic silver tetradrachm of circa 320-315 BC depicting Queen Dido, the legendary founder of Carthage.
An enormous 67mm bronze medallion of the Roman Emperor Antoninus minted to mark the 900th anniversary of the founding of Rome, and depicting Prometheus and the goddess Minerva fashioning the first man out of clay.

Arthur Ashe should be remembered for his amazing achievements and accomplishments during his lifetime.
By: Legacy Staff
1 year ago
When tennis star Arthur Ashe announced in 1992 that he was battling HIV – and then died less than a year later – his illness seemed to overshadow his illustrious career. Contracted from blood transfusions he received during heart surgery, Ashe's HIV lingered for years before it became too prominent to hide, at which point USA Today picked up on the story and broke the news. Ashe spent the rest of his time on Earth attempting to educate the public on a disease that was not yet well understood.
For most of us, legacy has more to do with how we live rather than how we die. A great athlete and trailblazer like Arthur Ashe should be remembered for his amazing achievements and accomplishments during his lifetime, not just for his final year battling AIDS and its accompanying stigma.
In that spirit, on the anniversary of his death Feb. 6, 1993, we're celebrating Arthur Ashe with a timeline of his athletic triumphs. It all begins more than fifty years ago…
1963: High school tennis standout Arthur Ashe turns his success into a scholarship to UCLA. That same year, he becomes the first African-American player ever selected for the United States Davis Cup team – a team that goes on to defeat reigning champions Australia and take the cup.
1965: Ashe wins the NCAA singles championship and helps UCLA take the team tennis title.
1966: Having paid for college by enrolling in ROTC, Ashe fulfills his obligation by joining the Army. Assigned to West Point, he heads the academy's tennis program.
1968: Ashe wins the United States Amateur Championships and the U.S. Open. He is the first African-American man to win the U.S. Open, and the only player ever to win the two championships in the same year.
1970: A year after his discharge from the Army, Ashe wins his second Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open. A few months later, he goes pro.
1972: Ashe is denied a visa by South Africa, due to their policy of apartheid, and is unable to compete in the South African Open. Ashe becomes a vocal opponent of apartheid.
1975: Ashe wins Wimbledon – a major triumph for any tennis player. Nearly 40 years later, he remains the only black man ever to take that title.
1977: Ashe is victorious once more at the Australian Open, this time playing doubles. It will be one of his last big wins before heart problems derail his career. In 1979, the athlete would suffer a heart attack and undergo quadruple bypass surgery.
1985: Ashe is elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
1988: Ashe publishes A Hard Road to Glory: A History of the African-American Athlete. The 3-volume book was the result of six years of research.
1992: Ashe is named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year for his humanitarian efforts to raise awareness about AIDS and to address health care inequalities.
1993: On June 20, Ashe is awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton. The posthumous award comes four months after his death on Feb. 6, 1993.

Zelda.. link to the past D: something like that D:
bored as hell
Probably Baldur's gate 2 and Fallout 2. Any time I get near the end of those games SOMETHING happens that makes me have to start over. For example a corrupt save file or in one example the power source died and I didn't know anything about taking a computer apart
Nakama mada irukara. Sorede iie
Got a lot of regret for not finishing certain games, but the one I regret the most is definitely Final Fantasy XII. 56+ hours clocked on my save and about 10 hours plot-wise from the end. I'd explored absolutely everything up to my point of playing and had done hordes of hunt missions... And now I forget it all. I can't even remember properly what I was doing when I stopped playing over a year and a half ago, but the thought of doing it all over again is daunting. Even if I did have tons of fun while playing it, there are just too many other games to play. =/
Catching up with everything I missed while on vacation~
MANY games from the ff series and other rpg's id say especialy from super nes
ugh. long time no CR
Half Life, GTA: San Andreas, Saints Row
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine... I never finish those, now I want to play it badly
Playing some games, watching some anime... What about you?
I regret not finishing Final Fantasy 8 before I lost the discs and my aunt sat on them.
Luckily, thanks to eBay, it came in the mail today!!
Hope of my thoughts that I travel upon, fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone
Prince of Persia - Sands of Time
I'm alive !
Hmmm never really ran into that problem. I was a hardcore cheater.
I recommend that you do what I do. Have a good job and start buying everything you wanted from your child hood . Granted megaman legends 2 is kind of expensive at $50. However, totally worth it.
Pretending like I read stuff that isn't quoted
Lost Odyssey. I was on the third disc, then I bought Uncharted 2 and got caught up with that. After finishing Uncharted 2, I ended up buying FF13 and so on, I don't have time to finsh Lost Odyssey.
Star Ocean 3.. >.>
Now my disk 2 broke, and I can't find any store that sells em..
The difference is summer and winter

PHOTOS: The great Fort Lauderdale guac walk
Cinco de Mayo marks a Mexican victory over the French in the 1862 Battle of Puebla. In most of Mexico, it's a minor holiday. But across South Florida, Cinco de Mayo will be celebrated with beer, tequila and -- perhaps Mexico's best food export -- guacamole. Come Saturday, Americans will consume 81 million pounds of Hass avocados, or 162 million pieces of fruit. We can think of no better place in South Florida to sample guacamole and the diverse styles of restaurants where it's served than on Federal Highway from downtown Fort Lauderdale north to Commercial Boulevard. It's a six-mile strip of Mexican that starts just north of Broward Boulevard and includes big chains (Chipotle, Baja Fresh) and homegrown independents (Casa Frida, La Bamba). If Cinco de Mayo has you searching for guacamole and other Mexican fare, come along on a guac walk. Just keep in mind that Federal Highway turns eastbound and becomes Sunrise Boulevard before resuming its northward route. -- John Tanasychuk Check out our list of Cinco de Mayo parties.

Hours of Operation:
Although we recommend email or telephone as the fastest way to get your case resolved, standard mail is acceptable, but please allow more time for our representatives to receive your letter and look into the details surrounding your rental. Please be sure to include the following information in your correspondence:
Correct and complete information is very important in order for customer service to resolve your case quickly. In many cases, delays in responding to and resolving customer inquiries are the result of inaccurate or omitted important information.
Please note that rentals handled by locations not owned or operated by Avis Budget Group (such as independently owned and operated licensees or international locations) may require additional time for response and resolution.
If you have been in touch with customer service, but are not satisfied either with the proposed resolution or with the quality of service you received from one of our customer service representatives, you can choose to escalate your inquiry to a member of customer service management by asking to speak with a supervisor.
If you have already been in touch with customer service and attempted to resolve your case, and are still unsatisfied with how your case was handled or the resolution that was proposed, below is a link to a form that will escalate your customer service inquiry to the Office of the President, where your case will be re-opened for executive-level review.
