What Personal Information About Customers Do We Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve our Website. Here are the types of information we gather:
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Website or give us in any other way. You provide most such information when you register with the Website, search, post, participate in a contest or questionnaire, participate in a chat or acquire a subscription, communicate with our Support Team. Certain items of information are mandatory in order to register with the Website and gain access to Communication (your first name, e-mail address, gender, date of birth and city or town where you live). We have the ability to retain your contact details should you input them on the Website even if you do not complete your registration. You also provide information when you search for a person; provide information in your account; communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form; use our other services. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone numbers; credit card information; content of e-mails to us; personal description and photographs in your account; and financial information. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing our Website for you, improving our Website, and communicating with you.
Mobile: When you download or use apps created by Mamba or World of Dating Ltd or our subsidiaries, we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services. If you have questions about how to disable your device's location services, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or your device manufacturer.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Mamba or World of Dating Ltd if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers.
Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. Examples of information we receive from other sources include account information, purchase or redemption information, and page-view information from some companies with which we operate co-branded businesses or for which we provide technical, fulfillment, advertising, or other services.
Cookies are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us to recognise you as our Website customer if you return to our Website using the same computer and browser. We send a "session cookie" to your computer if and when you log in to your account by entering your email address and password or otherwise use Communications. These cookies allow us to recognise you if you visit multiple pages on our site during the same session, so that you don't need to re-enter your password multiple times. Once you log out or close your browser, these session cookies expire and no longer have any effect.
We also use longer-lasting cookies for other purposes such as to display your email address on our log-in form, so that you don't have to retype your email address each time you log in to your account. We encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them.
We also use cookies to customise the Communications, content, and advertising; to measure promotional effectiveness, and to promote trust and safety.
Non-personal data may be gathered on our behalf using cookies, log file data, and code that is embedded on our Website by specific third party partners. We use this non-personal information to help improve the services we provide to you. The non-personal data gathered is used to provide anonymised statistical information.
The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to use any of our services that require you to Sign in.
Do Mamba and World of Dating Ltd Share the Information?
We share customer information only as described below.
Your Profile: The information contained in your personal ad, your search criteria and your profile can be accessed on the Website. In addition, these information may be broadcasted directly by Mamba or World of Dating Ltd or via our partners to persons interested in the Website, through newsletters or third-party websites, or by all other electronic (email, text messaging, etc.) or audiovisual (radio, television, etc.) communication tools, or by written press (newspapers, magazines, etc.), in order to increase your chances of meeting someone by promoting your person ads, search criteria and profile. Consequently, you explicitly authorise Mamba and World of Dating Ltd to reproduce and broadcast the information contained in your personal ad, search criteria or profile (personal information, description, images, videos, etc.) on all or part of the Communications (on the Website, on the Internet, by email) and/or in a general manner, on all distribution media, in particular audiovisual communication (press, radio, analogue television, digital television, cable or satellite) or electronic communication (email, Internet), throughout the entire world and for the length of time established in these Terms of Use between you and the Website. You explicitly authorise Mamba and World of Dating Limited to transfer the information you provided to us and the benefits of the above mentioned rights to our partners and eventual successors.
Financial Information: Neither Mamba, nor World of Dating Ltd store your financial information or credit card details. Please, note that financial information and credit card details will be stored by a company, processing your credit card payments, if you choose our "Pay in one click" option.
Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include providing applications, sending postal mail and e- mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. For example, a company, processing your credit card payments will store your name and credit card details to let you use our "Pay in 1 click" option in the future.
Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of our Website customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your "E-mail Notification" preferences in the "Settings" menu of your account.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other websites, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre- existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Mamba, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. Mamba and World of Dating Ltd may occasionally share general socio-demographic information that does not include names with selected partners to allow them to target their announcements (by age category, gender, etc.). In this case, we will not send these partners any information that would allow them to identify you.
Protection of Mamba, World of Dating Ltd and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply these Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Mamba, World of Dating Ltd, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this clause.
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We are committed to handling your customer information with high standards of information security. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorise access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping the password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Where we store your personal data
The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a location outside the European Economic Area ('EEA'). It may also be processed by staff located outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers (for example, staff who are involved in providing services that you order from us, processing your payment details or providing support services for the Website). By submitting your personal data to us through the Website, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this clause.
Which Information Can I Access?
Mamba and World of Dating Ltd give you access to a broad range of information about your account for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

- If you no longer wish for Mamba and World of Dating Ltd or our partners to reproduce or broadcast the information comprised in your personal ad, your search criteria, or your profile, you can terminate your Website account by choosing "Delete your profile" in the "Settings" menu of your account. Since this information is comprised of your personal ad, your search criteria and your profile, the termination will only take effect upon the next update or version of these communications (printed, press, audiovisual, or electronic) containing your personal ad, your search criteria and your profile information.

Students eligible to compete for money in Innovators contest
The Prima Civitas Foundation, through its C.S. Mott Foundation-supported entrepreneurship initiative Moving Ideas to Market, has launched its fourth annual Young Innovators Competition.
The competition encourages Michigan youth to submit ideas, concepts, or business plans to improve their communities.
Applicants are eligible to win cash prizes totaling $10,000, including a grand prize amount of $2,500.
This year's competition expands on its previous written business plan requirements by allowing youth to submit their plans or ideas in the creative format of their choosing. This includes videos, podcasts, songs, etc.
Also new to this year's competition is the ability for youth clubs or groups to compete.
The competition includes two age divisions. Students in grades nine through 12 may submit ideas for one of three categories: New-or improved-product or service, new social solution, or new mobile app.
Students in grades six through eight may compete in an entrepreneurial essay contest. Submissions will be judged by a variety of entrepreneurial and economic experts.
In addition to cash prizes, winners will also have the opportunity to connect with community mentors and entrepreneurial resources to take their ideas to the next level.
Steve Webster, chief executive officer for the Prima Civitas Foundation, said, "We believe this competition will help encourage students to think of entrepreneurship more broadly and to find new, exciting and creative ways to use innovative thinking to improve their surrounding communities."
Submissions are due by midnight Nov. 18. Competition results will be announced in December.

Dave's Rating:
Bughool is my homeboy.
First of all, did Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke), this movie's famous true crime author, read Amityville Horror, ever? Yes, that haunted mansion was all made up, but so is this scary movie universe, which at a baseline fiction level means that they're both exactly the same thing, which further means that an experienced writer about terrible killings should have the common brains not to move his entire family into the murder-house his new book is based on without letting them all know and giving them a moment to consider opting out. He is not only the world's weirdest and least considerate method-writer, he's also blatantly asking a swimming pool-haunting pagan diety named Bughool, who looks like every single guy in the black metal bands Emperor and Immortal, to make life extremely difficult for him.
Just had to get that off my chest. And yes, that's what happens here, of course. Difficulty. Meaning lots of slayings.
Those slayings are repeated over and over again, to mounting creep-effect and palpable dread, via 8mm home movie reels found in the attic and viewed by the increasingly alarmed author (though not so alarmed that he, you know, tells anyone in his family or does anything of substance to save them from what everyone in the audience knows to be their impending doom). The opening credits, simply and frigteningly, feature what's in the trailer and on promotional posters: four people hanged from a backyard tree in horrifying slow motion. And that's the least gruesome of the lot, so prepare to enjoy the escalating sick as anonymous families are ritually murdered, stylishly assigned a calling card symbol that resembles Optimus Prime crossed with a demonic goat, filmed while dying with the evidence stored in innocuously labeled tins, then viewed by our protagonist, who, again, I repeat, does nothing about it except make a kinda-sorta Concern Face.
But that's the joke of horror. Always. The reason you love it. You politely address the screen, "Perhaps you should all move away from the place that makes unexplained night noises and contorts your children into human origami. That might be a good first step." And the people never do. You, in turn, freak out over (and take pleasure in) their demise. And filmmaker Scott Derrickson, finally hitting a kind of stride after The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, likes horror. He likes it so much he lifts bits and pieces here and there from a laundry list of easily spotted reference points, titles that, for your enjoyment's sake, I won't recite here.
And it's clearly appropriation as fan tribute, not mere recycling, because when it counts (seriously, I know you're sick of found footage, but this stuff is gnarly) Derrickson knows how to jolt you and make you afraid to go home alone after the lights come up. He drops silliness into the action from time to time, letting you breathe for a second, right before plunging you back into that house at night where nobody turns on the lights to investigate that thump. He's good at this, Bughool is a monster probably destined for Pinhead-level adoration, and I'd like some more, please. You will, too. Prepare to feel disturbed.

LeBron James sat at the table alone, all by himself at the interview podium early Saturday morning.
The scene took place after the Heat lost to the Indiana Pacers Friday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. James had the look of a shipwrecked survivor stranded on a deserted island.
In many ways, it was symbolic of how things have played out thus far. It's been all James and not enough supporting cast, leaving the series tied at 1 heading back to Indiana for Sunday's Game 3.
Just when it appeared the Heat were past their depth issues, the concerns have resurfaced. Only this time, it also involves the team's other two All-Stars.
"We're not going to change from one game," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Look, this series is very close. The lead changes. We had opportunities at the end [of Game 2]. Everybody was raving about our depth last game and that we have an incredible amount of depth. That's one of our major strengths and we'll continue to go for it and we have full confidence in those guys."
The supporting cast has always raised issues for this team the past three seasons, but now Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade have entered the equation. Bosh and Wade have done little to assist James through two games, at least not the way they have in the past.
James has scored 66 points in the series, nearly equaling Bosh and Wade combined (67).
"We're just doing what we can with our opportunities," said Wade, who has taken 15 fewer shots than James in the two games. "We don't have the ball every possession. We're doing what we can with our opportunities. Hopefully, we get more."
Wade meant that he and the others have to play more aggressively instead of leaving all the responsibility on the league's most valuable player. Even though he had two costly turnovers in the final minute, James finished with 36 points, eight rebounds and three assists in the losing effort. In Game 1, he recorded a triple-double with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, including the winning basket as time expired.
"You always want more [shots], but we can't say nothing against LeBron," Wade said. "He had a hell of a game [Friday]. If he's not shooting, then other guys with opportunities better be making shots. Because if you make them, you can't say nothing about anything."
James has been so good in the series Pacers guard George Hill compared him to God. Still, it hasn't been enough for the Heat, who are only perhaps a blown defensive assignment from facing a 2-0 deficit. The Pacers had the series-opener nearly wrapped up until Paul George overplayed James, allowing him to drive for an easy layup at the buzzer.
Part of the reason is the Pacers' solid team defense. The other component is the Heat playing somewhat tentative, possibly because they have relied too heavily on James.
"I think we're just looking around too much instead of just being aggressive," said Bosh, who is averaging 17 points in the series.
"Our guys got to come in and be aggressive. If you have a shot, shoot it. We had a few open shots that we didn't take. We just have in our minds right now, 'Hey, they're (the Pacers) such a good defensive team.' No, we're a good offensive team. ... We didn't make it this far by people hesitating. You take your shot, you shoot it with confidence."
The area the Heat have struggled the most is from the 3-point line. They are just 12 of 40 from the arc the last two games, with most of the blame directed toward Ray Allen and Shane Battier.
They have made 1 of 12 in the series, averaging a combined 6.5 points.
"They do a good job of taking away those shots and making us go elsewhere," Battier said. "We had some pretty good looks and they haven't gone down. ... I believe in the Law of Averages. What goes down must come up."

The 2013 NFL Draft is officially in the books after 254 selections from the NFL's 32 franchises. In total, the ACC saw 31 players chosen in this year's draft — 34, if you include the three draftees from Syracuse (and for argument's sake, we will here). That number — regardless of which you decide to use — puts the conference behind just behind the more highly-regarded SEC in terms of NFL-bound talent this season. While not the only thing that counts by any means, moving players on to the NFL resonates with potential recruits, and does help all 14 (15) schools in one way or another.
We've included various breakdowns below — from school-by-school, to conference comparisons, an NFL team-by-team list, as well as the full list of ACC players chosen between Thursday and Saturday. Also, stop by later on, to see our compilation of the most confusing non-selections from the ACC, and where those players also ended up.
First 10 ACC Players Selected
No. 7 overall (Round 1): Jonathan Cooper, OG/North Carolina, selected by the Arizona Cardinals
No. 16 overall (Round 1): EJ Manuel, QB/Florida State, selected by the Buffalo Bills
No. 19 overall (Round 1): Justin Pugh, OT/Syracuse, selected by the New York Giants
No. 24 overall (Round 1): Bjoern Werner, DE/Florida State, selected by the Indianapolis Colts
No. 25 overall (Round 1): Xavier Rhodes, CB/Florida State, selected by the Minnesota Vikings
No. 27 overall (Round 1): DeAndre Hopkins, WR/Clemson, selected by the Houston Texans
No. 28 overall (Round 1): Sylvester Williams, DT/North Carolina, selected by the Denver Broncos
No. 37 overall (Round 2): Giovani Bernard, RB/North Carolina, selected by the Cincinnati Bengals
No. 40 overall (Round 2): Cornellius "Tank" Carradine, DE/Florida State, selected by the San Francisco 49ers
No. 42 overall (Round 2): Menelik Watson, OT/Florida State, selected by the Oakland Raiders

As most know on here, I am terminally I'll with cancer and my doc told me today I have 2 to 3 weeks.
My last request is for Tech to play a complete game against usc. I would love a win but to play a great game and compete the way tech has in the past would be awesome to see.
I want to say thank you all for listening rants and criticism of recent play. If I did not care I would not post. My fellow dogs I am really proud of our legacy and keep the love going after I'm gone. God willing I will be wearing my tech gear in heaven and cheering them on to a big win.
Dog in life and death. I will miss you all.

Time to spruce up the "gooseflesh" blog.
I've been busy with life here in Northern NSW, the real world can be so all consuming. Moving to the country has been better than I thought possible. Friends in Sydney thought I would get bored here...... Ha! No chance. I've made many, many friends and been involved in lots of activities in the local community. The studio has worked out well and has turned into a little creative hub where people meet, connect and chat. Some work gets done too!
I recently learnt that the Tweed Shire has the highest concentration of "creatives" in Australia. Woohoo!!
The flurry of activity means the "gooseflesh" blog has been neglected and I need to do some work here. Thanks to everyone who keeps visiting and leaving comments...... it means so much to me.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (seminoles.com) – The 15th-ranked Florida State indoor volleyball team earned a four-set victory at Virginia on Saturday evening at Memorial Gym, winning 3-1 (23-25, 25-14, 25-17, 25-12) behind several good all-around performances.
Three Seminoles (10-2, 2-1) in Olivera Medic, Sarah Wickstrom and Duygu Duzceler recorded double-doubles to lead Florida State past another relentless opponent in the Cavaliers. Medic amassed 12 kills, a .435 hitting percentage and 15 digs while Wickstrom recorded 22 assists and 10 digs. Duzceler added 28 assists and 11 digs for the Seminoles, who recorded their second-highest hitting percentage of the year at .414.
Junior Ashley Neff had another good effort on Saturday, recording 13 kills, a career-best .619 hitting percentage and adding seven blocks. The Seminoles put together 13 team blocks compared to Virginia's five.
Senior Fatma Yildirim led Florida State with 15 kills, while Katie Mosher added 18 digs.
The victory gives the Seminoles a 32-14 lead in the all-time series against Virginia. Florida State improves to 14-10 on the road at Virginia.
For the second consecutive match the Seminoles went down in the first set, falling 25-23. The entire frame was neck and neck, with Sareea Freeman leading the way for the Seminoles with three kills and three blocks. Virginia's Jessica O'Shoney hurt Florida State with five kills and a service ace. Toward the end of the set, Freeman's kill gave the Seminoles a 23-22 lead, but Virginia struck back with three consecutive points to win the set, punctuated by a kill from Kayla Sears.
Florida State met its standards in set two, ignited by Yildirim's five kills. Elise Walch added four kills and one block for the Seminoles, whom reached a double-digit lead in the frame with an attack error by Virginia's Morgan Blair. Yildirim ended the second set with a kill to tie the match overall at 1-1.
Neff's four kills and three blocks highlighted Florida State's win in set three, which was aided by 4-0 and 5-0 runs midway through the frame. Medic added four kills in the set, including her last one that gave the Seminoles a 23-14 lead. Elise Walch then recorded a kill and Mara Green had a successful attack to end the set and give Florida State a 2-1 overall lead.
The Seminoles put together a .467 hitting percentage in a dominant fourth set, guided by Neff's four kills in the frame. Yildirim added three kills while Medic and Mosher recorded five digs apiece in the set.
Florida State returns home following a month hiatus from Tully Gym, facing Wake Forest this Friday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. The Seminoles then host Duke on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m.

Cooperative purchasing is one of the easiest ways that cities can do more with less. By pooling the collective purchasing power of local governments throughout the United States, U.S. Communities can help these jurisdictions procure the goods and services they commonly use at tremendously discounted prices. This frees up purchasing staff to focus on larger, unique, and more complicated bids.
In 1999 several organizations representing local government entities established the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance to serve state and local governments as well as nonprofit organizations. It was designed to be completely free and voluntary with no minimum purchase requirements. Each contract has been competitively bid by a local government entity, and each supplier has committed to offer its most competitive pricing to all participating agencies.
Currently over 36,000 state and local governmental agencies as well as nonprofit entities use the U.S. Communities program to purchase items such as technology products, auto supplies, office furniture, office supplies, and facility maintenance and repair supplies. With 19 contracts available there is something of value to virtually every agency in the country.
Ensuring that the program meets the highest procurement standards, the U.S. Communities program is monitored by an advisory board of purchasing professionals representing local, state, school, and university organizations across the country.

Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, who appeared in only 36 games last season, has been running sprints at a Long Island training facility and said he's ready for spring training. And, SNY was there to record the moment for posterity.
"I'll be ready in 2010," Reyes said. "I can do everything I did before on the field … I can't wait to hit a triple."
Reyes, however, still needs to test his right calf and torn torn right hamstring tendon with baseball drills on both sides of the ball.
"Last year I came back too quickly," Reyes said. "Everything is in the past. I don't want to think about it. Now there is no pain. That's the key. There is nothing to worry about. Everything's perfect."

HOUSTON - Local 2 Investigates has learned detectives are looking into a possible connection between the deaths of two Louisiana women and the case of a missing teenager from Spring.
Ali Lowitzer, 16, disappeared after getting off the school bus just feet from her home on April 26, 2010.
Searches, tips and leads have never provided concrete evidence as to what happened to Lowitzer. But a source close to the investigation said one of the early tips in the case put a white pick-up truck in the area.
At the time, the tip did not have direct significance, but the recent arrest of a man in Louisiana with Texas ties has investigators taking a closer look.
Brandon Scott Lavergne, 33, is charged in the deaths of two women. University of Louisiana undergrad, Mickey Schunick and Lisa Pate, who went missing in 1999.
Police investigators have said that Lavergne drove a white pick-up truck and that truck was found abandoned and burned in San Jacinto County earlier this year.
"Whenever we hear something like that it really gets our attention and we start watching it more," John Lowitzer said.
John Lowitzer and his wife, Jo Ann, said they are not sure what to think at this point but they are closely following the Louisiana cases.

There are some things that we cannot and should not even try to explain.
Early one grey morning when the family was all asleep the phone rang. L's husband was being called by a friend to see if he could take the place of a member of the crew who had had to drop out suddenly from a fishing boat trip. He did not feel like leaving his warm house on a cold wet morning, nor did L want him to go.
But he obeyed the ancient sense of loyalty and solidarity, instilled in him through the community of the sea which is awakened by the needs of others.
The forecast was not good but the weather was rarely on their side anyway. On this occasion the indifference of nature took a tragic toll. A bad storm hit the boat when they were making for land and they capsized. L's husband, father of two young children, was lost, his body swept out to sea and never recovered. His companion managed to reach the foot of the cliffs on which the boat foundered and climbed up the sheer rockface to safety.
L was not the first woman in the area to hear the news that took the ground from under her feet and smashed her life like a dropped vase, that her husband had been lost at sea. When this happens the women, like the sailors, do not shake their fist or rage at the ocean or at God. They don't look for someone to sue. Nor do they understand why them, why now?; but they accept. L was supported by her family and friends and her love for her children. The tides of life changed and she carried on.
Late one night a year or so later she got another call. Her nineteen year old son, a boy that she and everyone in town loved, a young man who like his father was always ready to drop what he was doing to help someone who needed him, would not be coming home ever again. With two friends he had been drowned – not because a fishing boat sank but because a car had oddly slipped over a jetty into a few feet of water and trapped them by their seat belts. The tragedy of the three young men briefly became national news. The local priest was on the scene with the emergency services in the early hours. The local community was in trauma.
There were two survivors who said that they had been in the car and had managed to escape. They drove to the town three miles away, past houses, and called for help from the pub. At the inquest there were many unasked and many unanswered questions. What really happened to cause the accident? What were the reasons for the subsequent behaviour of the two survivors? Why was part of the security camera on the site of the accident missing footage for that part of the night? Questions that L needed to have investigated and which, a year later, have returned to torment her with a compulsive force. Her lawyer told her that the inquest did not adequately address these issues and a further investigation was obviously called for. He also told her it would run to thousands to pursue it privately because the authorities, having closed the case, would not.
She sees the two survivors, if that is the right word for them, in town from time to time. They look away when they see her and have never spoken to her about the night her son died. L however is not looking for revenge. Usually when people accept tragedy and enter the silence of the cloud of unknowing that death pulls around us, it is truth not punishment that they are looking for. L has the air of a character in an ancient tragedy, cloaked in a great solitude and, without thinking herself special, a sense of detachment from everything ordinary and superficial. She reminds me of Antigone waiting for the proper funeral rights to honour her dead brother but forbidden by the prince who has ordered his body to decay in the dust outside the walls.
L knows she is passing through the storm of her loss. Numbness is passing, the insistent questioning has started; but she trusts in pure, painful silence that all will eventually be resolved. Her faith is opening to the totality of the mystery of life that embraces good and bad, leading her towards true wisdom.
Those in town who have the answers that would give her peace now, however, inhabit a different kind of silence, of denial and evasion. Their tragedy is different from hers. Her silence makes those with her silent too. Theirs triggers a visceral roar for justice.

Kitchen Cure Week 1: Clean Fridge, Freezer & Pantry
Welcome, everyone! There are almost 2,000 of you signed up! Don't worry, it's going to be very cozy here at The Kitchen Cure, with lots of one-on-one attention. If you participate and submit, the community will help you along. Each week you'll have an opportunity to submit your progress. Also, get active in the Flickr pool. The more imagery you all share, the more helpful you are to each other. I may even show up in your inbox with some advice if you ask me point-blank for help (email me!) If you're shy and want to watch from afar, that's okay too.
This week we start you on the path toward a completely clean kitchen. You'll clean out and clean the fridge, freezer and pantry or cabinets (wherever you keep your dry-goods.) Read on for the week's assignments.
Week 1 Assignment
- Take "before" photos.
- De-clutter and purge old food.
Get out your digital camera. If you have natural light, pick a time when the light in the kitchen is bright but not full of glare.If you have any tables, plants, etc that might get in the way, scoot them to the side.
Now open every cabinet and every drawer. Open the fridge and freezer too. Snap away. Get one overall shot, but also a few detail shots. And of course, do not clean anything up before photographing. No cheating!
Submit your photos to the Flickr group. The reason we do the Cure as a group is to help and inspire each other.
Go through your refrigerator, cupboards, counter-tops and pantry and clean up your food clutter. The food you have in your kitchens should be fresh and replenished frequently. Take a long hard look at that tin of wasabi powder you got on your trip to Japan three years ago; it's dusty and has absorbed the odors of in the cabinet. Re-consider the jar of preserved lemons you got as a wedding favor who knows how long ago; it's brown, you have no idea how to use it, and it takes up energetic space in your kitchen. Here are some basic guidelines for de-cluttering your food:
- In the case of fresh foods or foods with an expiration date - toss or compost it if it has expired.
- In the case of frozen foods, get rid of anything with freezer burn. Foods that have been stored for more than 12 months are generally still safe to eat, but their quality has been compromised. In other words, time to make a big pot of soup.
- In the case of spices and canned foods that have not expired but have not been used in the last 6-12 months, really consider if you'll ever use it. Those saffron threads from your cousin's vacation in Spain, the chunks of star anise you bought once for a recipe but haven't used since... you get the picture. Some ingredients are expensive and may be difficult to part with. If you really think you might use them someday, make a list of these items then put them into a box in the back of a cabinet or under the sink.
- In the case of duplicates (I often have two jars of capers and two boxes of cocoa open at once, not sure why) combine containers and toss one. Or jump ahead and begin to consolidate dry goods into stack-able jars
- Here is a very helpful post specifically about condiments and expiration dates.
Remove all the food from your fridge, freezer and pantry and clean all the surfaces. Yes, this means if you have a frost-filled freezer, it's time to defrost. Clean all the surfaces in your refrigerator, freezer and pantry and/or cabinets. Obviously, this is best done in steps. Have a few boxes ready (or a cooler) to hold your food while you work.
Before putting your food back, wipe any containers with a warm, moist cloth and a natural cleanser before putting it back. For containers of oil, for example, that may have a film, you might need to use a cleanser to cut through the grease. Vinegar and water works nicely, too. Condiment and jam jars almost always need to be rinsed off (don't forget to dry them too) before returning them to the fridge.
This might seem like a ton of work but believe me, it'll feel so good.
Participate & Inspire!
Here are three ways you can participate in the online dialogue as you Cure your kitchen. Please do pitch in one or more ways — it is wonderful to be encouraged by other Cure-takers' progress and inspiration!
Share photos! - We want to see your progress!

Send us questions - Got a really specific question about one of the Cure assignments?
• Send us a question and we'll post it as a Good Question.
Finally, a note on participation: Do your best, and pace yourself. You will have a week to complete each assignment. Each assignment will be given on a Friday so you have the weekend to dive in deep, although they can also be done in short bursts throughout the week, so don't panic if you're heading out of town for the weekend or would just prefer to laze about. Many assignments can be on-going throughout the duration of the Cure, so if you don't finish one week's work by the following Friday, just keep going.

MTV Europe Has Things To Say About Piracy And/Or Loading Bars Being Bad For Musicians
from the there's-a-'soylent-green'-joke-in-there-and-i'm-going-to-go-get dept
It's not much to look at from a distance:
But, fortunately, Huh Magazine has a selection of closeup shots to better show how piracy is swiftly turning musicians blue.
In the following two closeups, a few details stand out, which we decided to highlight for discussion purposes:
[1] A man who looks suspiciously like Kim Dotcom as portrayed by Rex Ryan gestures wildly at the cowering musicians while unwittingly providing user names and passwords to the onlooking Anonymous member.
[2] Fanservice.
[3] Lyle Lovett is menaced by an eyeless worlock who uses his magicks to unsettle Lovett's hairpiece.
[1] A Hindu techie delivers a new monitor.
[2] A man requests a refund for his defective power strip, gesturing at the distinct lack of sockets.
[3] H8trs gonna h8.
A set of striking images to be sure, reminding each and every one of us John Q. Downloaders that your computer's hard drive is made out of people, and each download is slowly (depending on ISP) drowning them. Which is bad, because most of them own expensive electronic devices.

The eighth-ranked Creighton men's soccer team had its 14-match unbeaten streak snapped in the College Cup semifinals, falling 1-0 to Indiana at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala., Friday evening.
The Hoosiers will search for their eighth NCAA title on Sunday at 1 pm when they take on Georgetown. The Hoyas advanced to Sunday's final by virtue of a 4-3 win in penalty kicks after tying Maryland 4-4 after two overtimes. Georgetown had been 0-28-0 all-time against the rival Terrapins.
Indiana (15-5-3) scored in the 27th minute as reserve Femi Hollinger-Janzen notched his fourth goal of the fall. Patrick Doody crossed a ball from the top of the box to the right side of the box. It bounced through a pair of Bluejay defenders before Hollinger-Janzen buried it to the back of the net for an IU goal.
Despite Creighton (17-4-3) out-shooting IU 10-9 on the evening, that score would hold up.
The IU goal was the first surrendered by Creighton in 215:03 when Akron scored early in the 12th minute of a 1-1 tie in an NCAA Third Round match in Akron on Nov. 25. CU blanked the Zips for the rest of the double overtime contest and advanced on PKs before posting a 1-0 shutout at Connecticut in an NCAA quarterfinal Dec. 2.
Indiana had the game's first scoring opportunity in the 10th minute. Eriq Zavaleta lofted a pass to A.J. Corrado over the Bluejay back line, but Corrado's shot was stopped by CU redshirt freshman goalkeeper Jeff Gal.
The Hoosiers argued for a goal in the waning seconds of the half, only to have a Hollinger-Janzen score nullified when it was deemed after the period had ended.
Creighton's best scoring chance in the opening period came in the 40th minute. After a corner kick was initially deflected to the back of the box, Brent Kallman would cross a ball to the center of the box, but Andrew Ribeiro could not connect on a volley amid heavy traffic. Creighton outshot the Hoosiers 5-3 in the opening stanza.
Hollinger-Janzen missed a golden opportunity in the 47th minute. Zavaleta's cross found Hollinger-Janzen unguarded 10 yards in front of the goal, but his redirection sailed high.
Creighton had a strong chance in the 73rd minute when Benito Amaral found Vincent Keller down the right sideline, but Keller's shot went wide.
Christian Blandon, the hero in Creighton's 1-0 win at Connecticut in the quarterfinals, had CU's best chance of the night in the 87th minute. His right-footed blast into the upper 90 was turned away by a diving Hoosier keeper Luis Soffner.
Brendan Hines-Ike fired a rocket in the final minute from the top of the box as well, only to have Soffner make the save on a knuckling shot.
Creighton recorded its fifth College Cup appearance in school history and second consecutive trip. CU's only national title game appearance came in 2000, after defeating Indiana in triple-overtime that year.
The Jays had won its previous 12 games ending in a 1-0 score, including seven such contests in 2012.

Five keys: Wake vs. Boston College
Wake Forest vs. Boston College
Location: Winston-Salem, NC
Venue: BB&T Field
Kickoff: Saturday at 3:30 PM EST
Current records:
Wake Forest: 4-4, 2-4 ACC (Lost to Clemson 42-13)
Boston College: 2-6, 1-4 ACC (Beat Maryland 20-17)
Series history: The Eagles have an all-time series lead 10-7-2, and have won six of the last 10 meetings. However, the Demon Deacons won last season in Chestnut Hill 27-19.
What is on the line? Wake needs to win two more games to become bowl-eligible, while BC must win out.
Quotes of the week
"BC always plays great defense. They play a great team defense. They play a lot of zone coverages that you have to look out for, and they always have a great defensive line and linebacking corps. Defensively they have always been a great team, and they still are." - Wake Forest fullback/H-Back Tommy Bohanon
"I've seen they like to pass the ball. The quarterback [Chase Rettig] is a good passer. They have a pretty thick back [Andre Williams] that runs pretty well." - Wake Forest outside linebacker Justin Jackson
"We are disappointed we didn't play well against Clemson, and of course I thought Clemson played great. I think they've got a heck of a football team and thought there guys played lights out and we didn't play as well as we needed to compete to have a chance to win, but hopefully we'll bounce back and play better this week. We've got a Boston College coming to town that's got some confidence after beating Maryland last week. We know we're going to have a tough time this Saturday, but hopefully we can play better." - Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe
Keys to the game
1) Shake off the rust
Michael Campanaro has a game and a full week of practice under his belt after a three-week absence to recover from a broken hand. He caught six passes for 52 yards versus Clemson in his return to action.
However, the redshirt junior from Baltimore was rusty and lacked the conditioning to perform at the Wake needs him to. Expect Campanaro to make strides against a shaky Boston College defense that ranks sixth in the ACC in pass defense (239.2 yards allowed per game).
At the very least he will likely attract significant attention, creating opportunities for Terence Davis, Brandon Terry and others to make plays in the passing game.
2) Run, run and run some more
While Wake Forest's offensive line is battered and bruised BC's defense has been emaciated by the run thus far. The Eagles are one step away from the ACC's cellar in run defense, yielding an abysmal average of 248 yards.
Josh Harris and DeAndre Martin will surely get their touches. The duo has carried 185 times for 816 yards and nine touchdowns combined.
3) Pass-defense
Chase Rettig has morphed into one of the ACC's top passers with an 2,204 yards and 15 touchdowns to five interceptions.
"He's a big, strong-armed kid, got a great sense of their offense and a big arm to get the ball anywhere down the field and does a good job with his underneath stuff and they got two or three receivers," Grobe said. "The [Alex] Amidon kid is really special and the [Bobby] Swigert kid is a good player. They got a bunch of good receivers to throw the ball to, so we better improve. We've got to play better than we did against Clemson or some of the same things will happen, because Boston College is really, really talented throwing the football."
Wake's leader in the secondary Merrill Noel, one of the elite cornerbacks in the conference, sustained a sprained ankle against Clemson, making an already lean position group more vulnerable to BC's aerial attack.
This makes putting pressure on Rettig even more important.
4) Containing Williams
Boston College is at the bottom of the barrel in the ACC when it comes to running the football (82.5 yards per game); however, Williams is fourth in the conference in rushing with 126 carries for 584 yards and four touchdowns.
This is certainly not the challenge Army's triple-option offense or Florida State's deep stable of backs presents, but Williams is very capable of gashing the Demon Deacons for a big one if taken lightly.
5) No mistakes
BC does not have the offensive firepower of Clemson or Florida State, but managed to drive 85 yards in 13 plays for the game-winning touchdown against a stingy Maryland defense that kept Wake Forest from consistently moving the ball successfully.
This makes it even more important for the Deacs to not turn the ball over or commit foolish penalties.

Former Texas Lottery employee arrested
Authorities said Joseph Anthony Mueggenborg, 39, of Austin, was taken into custody Tuesday while undergoing training for his fourth job with the state.
The grand jury indicted Mueggenborg on May 14 on two first-degree felony charges of illegal use or possession of identifying information, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
Efforts by The Associated Press to locate Mueggenborg's attorney were not immediately successful.
Mueggenborg has said he downloaded his own work files off his computer and took them to his next job, according to an affidavit attached to a search warrant.
The names and Social Security numbers of 27,075 mid-level lottery winners - people who have won prizes from $600 up to around $1 million - were on Mueggenborg's hard drive. Also included were the names, Social Security numbers and, in some cases, bank routing and account numbers of 639 current and former commission employees and 534 lottery retailers.
"There are people on the (victims) list that feel they have had their information compromised, but nothing has led back to this defendant," English said.
In a letter sent out on Sept. 11, commission officials advised that more than 92,000 recipients put a fraud alert on their credit reports and check their bank statements.
The affidavit said Mueggenborg worked for the Lottery Commission from 1999 to 2007.
The information he allegedly took was discovered last year on a state computer at the Comptroller of Public Accounts where he later was employed. He was fired and the information turned over to criminal investigators, the Houston Chronicle reported.
At the time he was taken into custody - Mueggenborg, a computer analyst - was training for a job at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. English said it was "concerning" that the man was still working for the state after being fired by the comptroller.
Susan Stanford, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, said the department was unaware Mueggenborg had been fired and was under investigation when he was hired as a systems analyst three weeks ago.
The department has secured Mueggenborg's computer and begun a forensic study.
Travis County Jail officials said he was released Wednesday on a $100,000 personal bond. English said he had recommended bail be set at $100,000 and was disappointed that a judge released Mueggenborg on a personal bond.

Today's Media Day at Autodesk University at the Venetian in Las Vegas attracted 95 bloggers and journalists coming from 80 different countries. Also they expected 8,000 attendees to attend the event.
Chris Bradshaw, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, spoke on the topic, "Autodesk's Evolving story," in which he outlined the company's history in relation to the changing technology.
He said revenues come from all three geographies – more than half the revenue comes from outside North America. Revenue breaks down to 28% from AEC, 24% from manufacturing, 10% from Media and Entertainment and 38% from PSEB.
He talked about how Autodesk was born during a disruptive time period of the mainframe shifting over to the personal computer. Yet today's times are more disruptive, as the desktop internet went to a billion users. "With mobile devices we're projecting 10s of billions of units," said Bradshaw. "Many will have more than one of these things. I would guess many here have more than one mobile device, more than one accessing the cloud." Which was proven with a show of hands in the room.
Steve Blum, senior vice president, Worldwide Sales & Services, spoke on "Customer Challenges." He said that with the cloud you can leverage infinite computing and run a thousand different "what if" scenarios is 15 minutes and choose the best design option that meets your needs. The cloud and mobile are changing the way people get their jobs done.
Amar Hanspal, senior vice president, Platofrm Solutions and Emerging Solutions and Emerging Solutions, talked on "The Age of Empowerment."
"Today we have to look at what do we do when everyone is connected, how do we reimagine this?" Hanspal pointed out that social media wouldn't exist if everyone wasn't connected. "The minute we use the cloud, people assume we're using a vendor made cloud product. What we're trying to do is use the cloud where it's useful and adds to the cloud, not cloud for cloud's sake."
The cloud is good for Connectivity, Content, Infinite computing, and Design for everyone.
Brian Matthews talked about 3D printing and laser scanning, stating that 3D printing "will change the world."
Additionally he listed six major technology disruptions:
Reality capture, cloud data, infinite computing, simulation, digital to analog.

BENGHAZI, Libya, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- The Islamic militant group believed responsible for killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens is now a major presence in Benghazi, Libya, observers say.
Ansar al-Sharia is in control of the western entrance to the city, The (Toronto) Globe and Mail reported. The Canadian newspaper said Islamist militias carved up Benghazi in an unofficial agreement.
The group was thrown out of Benghazi after Stevens and three other U.S. citizens were killed five months ago in an attack on the U.S. consulate. The killings angered many Benghazi residents who rebelled against Ansar al-Sharia.
At the western gate, members of the group now inspect trucks, looking for hazardous materials and expired pharmaceuticals. There are Arabic signs saying "Ansar al-Sharia Patrol" and vehicles with its logo.
"I think we're doing very well," Rajab Alaghoury, a shift commander for the patrol, told The Globe and Mail. "We even sort out conflicts in the area. We are with the people."
Critics say the group is not just engaged in humanitarian activity.
"It's a sneaky way of infiltrating the government," said Fathi Baja, a political scientist who served on the country's transitional rebel council. "Nobody gave them permission. It's a tactic for returning to Benghazi. The government doesn't want a confrontation with them at this time."

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The nationally-ranked Tornado featured a defense that limited the visiting Pfeiffer Falcons to just 12 points in the first half to pace No. 22 King toward a 67-51 victory to stay atop the Conference Carolinas standings. Jason Seymore led the Tornado with 16 points and six rebounds.
King's stingy defense forced 15 turnovers in the first half that not only kept the Falcons off the board but also turned into 14 Tornado points. Pfeiffer shot just 20 percent from the field in the first half, hitting only 4-of-20 attempts. Pfeiffer failed on its first six shot attempts, four coming from long range, and were forced into 10 turnovers before making its first field goal of the game 11:02 into the game.
The Tornado's defense helped them jump out to a 17-3 run to start the game. Sophomore Logan Lyle nailed his first two shots, both for three, and Michael Fortune (Beckley, W.Va.) kept the streak of three balls going with the Tornado's third straight. With 10:45 remaining, senior forward Jason Seymore (Powell, Tenn.) scored six consecutive points to cap off the King run.
King (11-2, 6-1) continued to pour on the offense all the way to the buzzer ending the first half. Freshman Aaron Wheeler (Morristown, Tenn.) connected on a short-range jumper and converted the free throw to complete the three-point play and was followed by another bucket by Seymore near the one-minute mark to create a 30-point lead, 40-10. Lyle nailed a three pointed with 27 seconds left for the last basket of the half, extending King's lead to 43-12 going into the locker room.
Senior Eddie Piccinini (Orlando, Fla.) extended King's lead to a game-high 37 points with the third of three straight three pointers used to begin the half on a 9-3 rally.
Pfeiffer began to heat up to remedy their earlier shooting struggles while King cooled from the field following four consecutive misses. The Falcons took advantage of the offensive stall with three straight buckets to help shift the momentum. The Falcons slowly chipped into the King lead but drew no closer than 17 points before their final basket with 1:18 to go.
The Falcons improved their overall shooting percentage to 35.4 percent on the night after hitting 46.4 percent of their second-half shots. Josh Humphrey led all scorers with 18 points and shared the team lead with Tayron Gibson in rebounds (6). Gibson scored 15 points, nine coming from the free throw line.
Jason Seymore and Logan Lyle topped the King scoring charts with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Seymore shared the lead in rebounds (6) with Eddie Piccinini. Lyle led the Tornado with three steals and added a pair of assists.
With the win, No. 22 King remains atop the Conference Carolinas standings with a 6-1 record. They currently are tied for first with Limestone (10-3, 6-1). Their next action is on the road against Queens (N.C.) on Jan. 19 for a 4 p.m. tipoff. The Tornado return to the Student Center Complex on Jan. 21 to play rival Lees-McRae in a continuation of the inaugural battle for the Blue Ridge Cup (King leads, 4-2).
