• China's Q1 economic growth slowed to 8.1% • Bidding war leads to jump in Great Wolf's stock price • Hoteliers should be proactive in advance of I-9 audits • Q1 transactions notes from LW Hospitality Advisors • America's Best Franchising opens 7 hotels in Q1
China's first-quarter economic growth slowed to a lower-than-expected 8.1%, the lowest since the first quarter of 2009, according to a story in the Wall Street Journal. China's growth was still above the 7.5% target set by the government, and its economy remains a bright spot in a world economy looking for drivers. China's resilient growth and strong public finances stand in contrast to the United States and Europe, where unemployment remains elevated and high public debt limits the scope for a stimulus.
But the 8.1% figure—compared with expectations of 8.3% growth according to economist surveys—is a marked slowdown from 8.9% during the fourth quarter of 2011.
Great Wolf Resorts' stock price is trading at a four-year high as a result of the ongoing bidding war between Apollo Global Management and KSL Capital Partners, writes HotelNewsNow.com's Shawn A Turner.
During the past several days, Apollo Global Management and KSL Capital Partners have been busy trying to trump each other with bids to acquire Great Wolf. Apollo started things off last month with a bid of $5 per share. KSL countered last week with a bid of $6.25; Apollo fired back at $6.75; and, over the weekend, KSL upped the ante again to $7 a share.
Just prior to this frenzied bidding, Great Wolf's shares were trading at approximately $4.20 a share. The stock price has seen quite a bump during the past several weeks, though during the past few days it has seemed to stabilize at approximately $7.30 a share.
Since 1 March, Great Wolf's stock price has increased by 79.7%, closing Thursday at $7.33 a share, just 12 cents below its 52-week high.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is conducting more I-9 audits than ever, reports HotelNewsNow.com's Patrick Mayock. There are several proactive measures hoteliers should take to avoid penalties and fines, according to attorneys.
The issue has become more top-of-mind during the past year, as ICE has added more auditors and enhanced technology and can now issue more notices of enforcement, said Paul W. Virtue, partner with Baker & McKenzie LLP, during a webinar titled "I-9 Audits 101: Planning a Compliance Strategy."
Virtue, who previously served as the executive associate commissioner and general counsel of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, said the government has shifted its focus in recent years. Whereas in the past, audits were directed at the undocumented workers themselves, today the emphasis is on their employers.
Audits are initiated by: • tips from the public or employees; • employers in sensitive industries; • Social Security "no-match" letter history; and • random sampling.
"It's intended very specifically and publically to keep employers honest by going through the random notices of inspection," Virtue said.
The strong rebound of demand for transient lodging accommodations that commenced approximately 15 months ago endures, and apart from any sudden economic or geopolitical shocks, hotel fundamentals are expected to continue recovering well, according to Dan Lesser, president and CEO of LW Hospitality Advisors LLC.
As part of LW Hospitality Advisors' YTD Q1 2012 Select Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey, Lesser made some notable observations: • Seven single-asset sales totaling $100 million or greater in proceeds were consummated nationally. • Seventeen transactions, or approximately 70% of the national total, included assets located in California, Florida, and the New York and Washington, D.C., metropolitan areas. • Of the 25 sales transacted nationally, eight, or roughly one-third, were in the New York metropolitan area, including: six in Manhattan; one in Brooklyn; and one in Long Branch, New Jersey. • Private equity and non-traded real-estate investment trusts have been the dominant acquirers while public entities consummated a handful of major single-asset sales.
Atlanta-based America's Best Franchising sold 11 new franchises and opened seven new properties during the first quarter of 2012, according to a news release.
The company operates 250 hotels primarily in the U.S. with more than 16,000 rooms under its four upper economy brands–America's Best Inn & Suites, Budgetel Inns & Suites, Country Hearth Inns & Suites, and Parkside Hotels & Resorts.
"The first quarter is traditionally a slower time of year for sales, yet we achieved a solid start to 2012 and have an impressive inventory of openings scheduled," Doug Collins, chairman and CEO of America's Best Franchising, said in the news release. "We are confidently on course to achieve our goal of selling and opening 40 new hotels during the year."

For what you posted for Rune Factory, you'd need the addresses instead of patterns. Since you've posted them hoping for them to be added in the database, I'm guessing you own the game and want to use them. If you have the game, you can easily use CMP Auto Tools 6.3 to decrypt the elf file of the game, open it up in HxD, search for those patterns, and post the addresses they lead to with 00010000 added to the addresses so they can be added into the database. |

The villagers of Peru's central highlands were already hard-hit in the 1980s by bad roads, little or no phone communication, and a life that revolved around subsistence agriculture. Then came the Sendero Luminoso, the Shining Path, a terrorist movement based on Maoist ideals that tried to spark a nationwide revolution by destroying the state and "old oligarchy."
During the 1980s and early 1990s, a staggering 70,000 people were killed in the crossfire between the Shining Path and the army. Sendero Luminoso began in Ayacucho [1] and wreaked most havoc in the central highlands—more than 75 percent of those killed were Quechua-speaking villagers.
These days terrorism has disappeared and the highways are in fantastic shape—thanks to the national government, which is doing everything it can to connect this forgotten part of Peru to the rest of the country. The area is safe for travel—even the conservative U.S. Embassy says so. Families have moved back to their towns, and there is a sense of recovery, of wounds slowly healing.
But still, fewer than 500 travelers a month end up in Ayacucho [1], which is without question the least visited of Peru's Andean cities. There are 33 colonial churches in Ayacucho, a huge amount of colonial art, colorful markets, artisan studios on every corner, and one of Latin America's most famous Easter week [2] celebrations.
Huancayo [3], farther north, is equally as interesting but for its countryside, not its city. There are a dozen or more quaint adobe villages in the surrounding Mantaro Valley [4] where artisans make a living by carving gourds or making weavings from alpaca wool and natural dyes. There are more traditional festivals here than anywhere else in Peru, and outsiders are welcome. After such bitter years, they are overjoyed to have guests.

People who have microsatellite-unstable tumors may be even more susceptible to the effects of smoking.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by as much as 40%, but this protective effect may not extend to long-term smokers, who already face an increased risk of the disease, according to a recent study.
In a large, population-based study comparing risk factors in people with and without colorectal cancer, researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found the highest risk of colon cancer to be among long-term smokers aged 20 years or more who had never used NSAIDs.
The researchers also found that smokers who used NSAIDs still had an approximate 30% higher risk of colon cancer than nonsmokers.
"Smoking has been linked to a modestly increased risk of colorectal cancer and use of NSAIDs has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of colorectal cancer. We wanted to see if NSAIDs could counteract the adverse effects of smoking with regard to colorectal cancer risk and whether these associations differed by tumor characteristics," said Victoria Chia, MPH, research associate in the Hutchinson Center's Cancer Prevention Program, in a prepared statement.
In particular, Chia and colleagues examined the impact of NSAIDs on a certain type of colorectal tumor that may be associated with smoking. Such tumors display microsatellite instability, an acquired genetic characteristic that indicates defects in DNA repair machinery. Microsatellite instability occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of colon cancers.
Study methods
The study involved 3,299 Seattle-area residents aged 20 to 74 years, 1,792 with a history of colon cancer and 1,501 without who served as controls. Cancer cases were identified through the Puget Sound Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, a population-based registry. Controls were randomly selected to match the distribution of the cases regarding age and sex.
Researchers interviewed participants by telephone about their smoking history, use of aspirin and other NSAID use and other risk factors. They assessed microsatellite instability in tumors from 1,202 cases.
Smoking was more common in cancer cases than controls and NSAID use was more common among controls than cases.
Microsatellite-unstable tumors
The researchers found a twofold increased risk of microsatellite-unstable colorectal tumors among long-term smokers who took NSAIDs, about the same risk as smokers who had not used NSAIDs.
"Given the damage that smokers receive over their lifetime, even strong antiprogression agents, like NSAIDs, may be ineffective," the researchers wrote in Cancer Research. "NSAIDs may not be able to counteract the long-term effects of smoking, as evidenced by our observation that long-term smokers are at increased risk of colorectal cancer, despite current NSAID use."
The link between smoking and cancer stems from the fact that cigarette smoke contains hundreds of carcinogenic metabolic products that may damage DNA. "This accumulated damage might not be reversible," Chia said. "NSAIDs act to suppress inflammatory processes and may help limit the progression toward cancer. However, people who have microsatellite-unstable tumors may be even more susceptible to the effects of smoking because they already have a reduced capacity to repair DNA, even in the presence of strong anti-inflammatory agents."
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine collaborated on the study, which was funded by the NCI and the NIH.

This past Saturday (7/14/2012) a thunderstorm developed and moved through Tuscola, where I live. I go so excited when I felt the cool outflow ahead of the storm it was almost silly. When the rain actually started, I went out and stood in it for a minute; it was that big of a deal to actually feel some rain in the middle of a drought. As the storm got stronger, though, I went inside. Just a few minutes later, my whole house shook from the thunder generated by a nearly simultaneous lightning flash.
I knew the strike had been close, but I had no idea HOW close until Sunday afternoon. It was then that I realized that the lightning had struck a tree just outside my back yard fence. This is a beautiful older cottonwood tree, about 75 feet tall, and about 3-4 feet in diameter at the base. Strangely the lightning did not appear to strike the TOP of the tree, but farther down, toward the middle of the branches.
It inflicted a tremendous amount of damage to the tree, stripping a channel down BOTH sides of the trunk, something I have never seen before. The channels are several inches wide and anywhere from 2-3 inches deep, exposing the living core of the tree. The bark that was blown off when the sap boiled instantly to steam was strewn quite a way from the tree. Remember, all of this damage occured in a fraction of a second! Such is the power of several BILLION volts of electricity and a short-term temperature hotter than the surface of the sun.
For me, this is a reminder about the incredible power of nature, and that ANY thunderstorm can kill. I know it will make me more mindful about getting to shelter in a thunderstorm. The neighbor who owns the tree has a little cleaning up to do, and the rest of the neighborhood will be watching, and hoping the tree survives.

Satanists claim theft of 'Vote Satan' sign was a hate crime
7/3/2012A pair of Colorado Satanists are demanding that police investigate the removal of a political poster from their front yard as a hate crime, saying they were targeted because of their religious beliefs. So what'd the missing sign say? "Vote Satan," naturally. Luigi and Angie Bellaviste say they belong to the Church of Satan, and Luigi argues that had a Star of David or "a verse from the Koran" been damaged, the act would be considered a hate crime. The couple's yard is also decorated with a painted-black Christmas tree, an assortment of skulls and the good ol' 666, which apparently are much less gaudy than a Vote Satan sign.
Do you think this should be investigated as a hate crime?

As you know, our son Brandon was diagnosed with type 1 (juvenile) diabetes when he was 22 months old. He will be insulin-dependent for the rest of his life. In his short eight years of life he already has endured over 21,000 fingerpricks and 4,400 insulin injections. In addition to his rigorous blood testing and insulin injections, everything he consumes must be measured, and his blood levels even need to be checked while he sleeps and plays. Brandon is always a trooper and rarely complains. As you?ve seen, he is full of smiles, laughs, and eight year old mischief, amidst his daily diabetes routine. He actually began testing his blood at the prime age of four! Now he is learning to count carbs so he will be more in control of handling his own diabetes. Brandon continually amazes us and is a blessing to have in our lives as a daily reminder of spirit, humility, and a positive attitude.
There are many devastating diseases in our world right now, and that saddens us. The difference with juvenile diabetes is that wiping it out of existence is extremely attainable and within reach. Brandon sometimes says, ?I want my diabetes to go away!? and ?Why did God make me have diabetes?? It?s painful statements to hear, but we feel hopeful that a cure will be available before he goes to high school.
Please understand, we are not trying to have a pity session. We truly believe that out of every difficulty comes something good. As parents, it?s our instinct from the moment our kids are born to protect them from any harm. We must do everything in our power to help find a cure for him. It?s our mission to avoid the heart and kidney disease, blindness, amputation, and early death that is a reality for many people with juvenile diabetes.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is the #1 non-profit funder of diabetes research worldwide. One of JDRF?s largest fundraising events is the ?Walk to Cure Diabetes.? For the past four years, we have formed a team named ?Brandons Buddies? and have raised money towards this cause. This year?s walk will be held on Saturday, February 23rd at MOA!
We will also be hosting a Chili Feed and Bingo on Sunday January 27th at the Browerville Community center to raise money for our team.
Thank you for helping our family team meet our goal of raising $5,000 this year. Thank you for your support.

Marion Ali reporting live from Belmopan
MARION ALI, Reporter
"The Prime Minster said that Belize is doing economically well, having been able to increase its GDP by 2% since 2008. In addition to this he said that the government has expanded its program and have made strides in the housing and educational sectors. The Prime Minister also pointed to his government decision to write off student and other loans obtained from the DFC. In terms of the export market, Prime Minister Barrow said that even as it looks to seek to see the majority shareholder in the Sugar Industry change hand, the production of sugar during the last year has been encouragingly good but there were some areas in which we did not do so well. Inflation rose from 0.9% to over 1.1%. The Fishing and Banana Industries showed some decreased in exports and oil revenues have decline. The 2011-2012 budget figures showed that the Government's expenditure increased largely because of increments for teachers and public officers. The Government said Prime Minister Barrow, is committed to renegotiating the super bond and tightening the proverbial economic belt but even so this will come with attention given the priority need areas. The new budget, said the Prime Minister, holds for no new taxes or additional taxes but instead there will be some administrative adjustments. The Prime Minister has set aside July 11th and 12th as the dates to debate the budget. We will have more details of the budget presentation in our 6 PM news report. Reporting live from Belmopan for Love News, this is Marion Ali."

HUDSON, N.H. -- A Groton teen is one of two facing charges after police say an egg struck a moving police cruiser last Saturday night.
Hudson police said in a prepared statement that Officer Scott MacDonald was driving north on Derry Street in a marked cruiser Saturday about 9:55 p.m. when someone in a Honda Ridgeline heading south threw an egg that struck the cruiser.
The egg struck the driver's-side headlight but caused no damage, according to police.
MacDonald turned around, pulled the Honda over and determined that Griffin Scanlon, 17, of Groton, was driving, and that passenger Clyde Boykin, 17, of Nashua, N.H., had thrown the egg.
Boykin was charged with reckless conduct. Scanlon was charged with criminal liability for the conduct of another. Both were released on personal recognizance and are scheduled to appear March 28 in Nashua District Court.
Police ask anyone else whose vehicle was struck by an egg in the area of Derry Street (Route 102) on Saturday night to call police at 603-886-6011.
"The Hudson Police Department would also like to remind the public that throwing things at moving vehicles creates a hazardous situation in which people could be injured or killed as a result," police said in a prepared statement. "People who do throw things at moving vehicles are subject to serious charges if caught."

To create a cheap-in-price, but rich-in-love anniversary gift, I grabbed an old deck of drinking game cards, Post-it notes, a gift bag, a hole punch, glue stick and some stickers. Each card in the deck lists something I love about my partner. The anniversary has now passed, so I'll share this gift idea with you.

Darkest Planet Found: Coal-Black, It Reflects Almost No Light | |
9:15:51 PM, Sunday, August 21, 2011 | |
"It may be hard to imagine a planet blacker than coal, but that's what astronomers say they've discovered in our home galaxy with NASA's Kepler space telescope.Orbiting only about three million miles out from its star, the Jupiter-size gas giant planet, dubbed TrES-2b, is heated to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (980 degrees Celsius). Yet the apparently inky world appears to reflect almost none of the starlight that shines on it, according to a new study."Being less reflective than coal or even the blackest acrylic paint—this makes it by far the darkest planet ever discovered," lead study author David Kipping said."If we could see it up close it would look like a near-black ball of gas, with a slight glowing red tinge to it—a true exotic amongst exoplanets," added Kipping, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.NASA's Planet DetectorThe Earth-orbiting Kepler spacecraft was specifically designed to find planets outside our solar system. But at such distances—TrES-2b, for instance, is 750 light-years from us—it's not as simple as snapping pictures of alien worlds.Instead, Kepler—using light sensors called photometers that continuously monitor tens of thousands of stars—looks for the regular dimming of stars.Such dips in stellar brightness may indicate that a planet is transiting, or passing in front of a star, relative to Earth, blocking some of the star's light—in the case of the coal-black planet, blocking surprisingly little of that light..." | |

Astronaut Photographs Perseid Meteor... From Space | |
8:54:03 PM, Sunday, August 21, 2011 | |
"Seeing regular updates from the International Space Station (ISS) is a special joy of mine, especially since the shuttle fleet was retired last month. As poignantly noted by Irene in "Atlantis' Final Reentry Seen From Space," although the shuttle is gone, the U.S. presence on the ISS certainly is not.So, in a stunning photograph taken by NASA astronaut Ron Garan through a space station window, a single Perseid meteor was captured as the piece of comet dust slammed into the Earth's atmosphere."What a 'Shooting Star' looks like #FromSpace Taken yesterday during Perseids Meteor Shower..." Garan tweeted from his Twitter account on Sunday. Garan is approaching the end of his six-month stay aboard the orbital outpost after he was launched as part of the Expedition 27 crew in April.Interestingly, Garan's meteor doesn't look much different from a meteor you would see from the ground, but there is a key difference: this meteor is falling away from the observer (Garan); whereas for us terrestrial folk, meteors fall toward us.It must have been a magical sight; one that is likely often seen from orbit, but rarely captured in a photograph." | |
-- That's not scary at all... While sitting in a little tin can that is ISS! | |

Mazda to Drop Wankel Rotary Combustion Engine? | |
1:54:57 AM, Tuesday, August 16, 2011 | |
"Rumour has it that the proponent of the Wankel rotary combustion engine, Mazda, may be planning to drop the tech it first adopted nearly five decades ago. The next-gen Renesis rotary has been in development since 2007, but economic hardship is ever slowly pushing the Japanese automaker towards ending things on that front.According to reports, there's a huge, ongoing discussion within the company on whether it should continue pursuing movement on the Wankel front. So says the automaker's executive officer of product planning and powertrain development, Kiyoshi Fujiwara.Fujiwara states that the development of the rotary has been halted at the moment, and not just because of technical issues – three major problems were identified with the current rotary engine generation, though two of these three blocks have been overcome. Seemingly, with the need to cut costs, Mazda leadership is cutting back on programs, and the one with the engine happens to be on the list..." | |
-- Not dedicated cult-like lover of the Wankel engine or anything, but it's always sad to see a technology that still has huge potential to grow getting scrapped and replaced with the mainstream option, especially when that technology is something as legendary as the Wankel Rotary. Hopefully this remains a rumor. | |

HCG 7: Crowded, But Suspiciously Quiet? | |
1:44:35 AM, Tuesday, August 16, 2011 | |
"The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has imaged part of the Hickson Compact Group 7, or HCG 7 for short. This grouping is composed of one lenticular (lens-shaped) and three spiral galaxies in close proximity. In this image, one of the spirals dominates the foreground, with many more distant galaxies peppering the background. Observing tightly-knit galaxy groups like HCG 7 is important because they evolve in a different way from their more spaced-out counterparts in less crowded regions of the Universe.A recent study using Hubble data analysed the star clusters in HCG 7. Three hundred young clusters and 150 globular clusters were charted, and their ages and distributions measured. The results suggest that the rate of star formation has been fairly steady through time, although quite high in the central regions. Additional studies, including searches for material between the galaxies, hint that the stars in the HCG 7 galaxies formed by converting their gas without any gravitational influences caused by merging with other galaxies. This is puzzling, as the galaxies are depleting their supplies of gas at a rate that suggests that they have merged in the past.This raises the question of whether the group really has evolved serenely, or if there are mysterious processes at work that are yet to be understood. The currently known information is contradictory and an encouragement for further studies to discover the real story behind HCG 7..." | |

Astronomy Picture of the Day: Millions of Stars in Omega Centauri | |
11:05:20 PM, Monday, August 15, 2011 | |
-- "Featured in this sharp telescopic image, globular star cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) is some 15,000 light-years away. Some 150 light-years in diameter, the cluster is packed with about 10 million stars much older than the Sun. Omega Cen is the largest of 200 or so known globular clusters that roam the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. Though most star clusters consist of stars with the same age and composition, the enigmatic Omega Cen exhibits the presence of different stellar populations with a spread of ages and chemical abundances. In fact, Omega Cen may be the remnant core of a small galaxy merging with the Milky Way. " | |

'Sex On Six Legs': When Insects Go Wild | |
10:41:41 PM, Monday, August 15, 2011 | |
"Everything you wanted to know about bug sex (but didn't bother to ask) is explained in a new book by insect expert Marlene Zuk. Sex on Six Legs: Lessons on Life, Love and Language from the Insect World, describes a world of small — but surprisingly sophisticated — insect behavior.Insects are not mindless robots; they can learn just like other animals, says Zuk, a biologist at University of California, Riverside. "An ant who finds a food source will come back to recruit others to go to the same food source," she tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies. The ant that knows where to go will show the others what to do. "It looks like a parent teaching a child how to ride a bicycle. ...

Neutrinos Disappearing at Daya Bay? | |
10:24:16 PM, Monday, August 15, 2011 | |
"Neutrinos are downright weird!Produced in prodigious numbers in the sun, supernovae, nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, neutrinos are extremely hard to detect because they hardly interact with other material at all.If we think about photons from the sun hitting blacktop during the summer, it is quite obvious that they interact and that their energy is absorbed by the blacktop (making it hot to the touch).But even though 10s of billions of neutrinos pass through each square centimeter of that blacktop per second, most of them do not interact. In fact most pass through the Earth and through much of the universe without interacting with anything.In order to study these mysterious particles, we need large detectors, and we have to reduce backgrounds from cosmic rays by placing those detectors deep underground.Under a mountain in southern China, a new experiment is trying to answer key questions about neutrinos and their impact on the world around us. The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment started taking data this month, recording interactions of antineutrinos, a neutrino's counterpart with the same mass and opposite spin, as they travel away from powerful reactors of the China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group.But before I explain Daya Bay in more detail, let me first provide a little background.Neutrinos were first postulated by Wolfgang Pauli in the 1930s to explain the energy of radioactive decays, and were given their name, which means "little neutral one," by Enrico Fermi. But it was not until the 1950s that they were first discovered, in experiments by Frederick Reines and Clyde Cowan at nuclear reactors in Washington state and South Carolina, leading to a Nobel Prize in 1995..." | |

Arctic Warming Unlocking A Fabled Waterway | |
9:55:17 PM, Monday, August 15, 2011 | |
"The Arctic may be the world's next geopolitical battleground. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else in the world, and the melting ice will have profound consequences on the roof of the world, opening strategic waterways to shipping, reducing the ice cap on Greenland, and spurring a rush to claim rights to the wealth of natural resources that lie beneath. NPR examines what's at stake, who stands to win and lose, and how this could alter the global dynamic.It appears as just a speck on the horizon, a slightly darker shape against a vista of Arctic ice. Soon enough, the ship's bridge makes the announcement: "Polar bear, starboard."Crew and passengers onboard the CCGS Louis S. St.-Laurent, Canada's largest icebreaker, head to the open deck, binoculars and cameras ready, and watch as the bear lumbers from one ice floe to another, quickly dipping into the inky blue water and effortlessly pulling himself back up again.Often, a bear will head toward the ship and gaze up at the people gazing down at it, head tilted to one side. The massive creatures don't demonstrate any fear, just curiosity.That's likely because they rarely see anything like a ship passing through the Northwest Passage, a series of waterways winding through Canada's Arctic archipelago of 36,000 islands. It's midsummer and the first time the coast guard icebreaker, affectionately known as the Louis, is making its way through the ice-choked waters this season.It appears as just a speck on the horizon, a slightly darker shape against a vista of Arctic ice.

Charity of the Apes – Chimps Spontaneously Help Each Other | |
11:24:35 PM, Sunday, August 14, 2011 | |
"Compared to most other animals, humans are unusual in our tendency to help each other out. We donate to charity. We give blood. We show kindness to strangers, even when we stand to gain nothing in return. This behaviour is so odd that the natural question arises: are we alone in such selflessness? And if any animal could help to answer that question, it's the chimpanzee, one of our closest relatives.Dozens of scientists study the behaviour of chimps, looking at how these apes act towards their peers. But the results of these studies have been frustrating for many in the field. People who watch captive and wild chimps have documented hundreds of cases of seemingly altruistic behaviour. They have seen individuals helping each other to climb walls, consoling each other after fights, sharing food, risking death to save companions from drowning, and even adopting the babies of dead and unrelated peers. Anecdotes like these suggest that chimps, like humans, behave selflessly towards each other.But experiments have often shown otherwise. In some studies, chimps choose to help their peers retrieve out-of-reach objects rather than doing nothing. But when chimps have a choice between two equal actions – say, cashing in a token that leads to personal gain versus another that also benefits a partner – they only looked out for themselves. One paper bore the title "Chimpanzees are indifferent to the welfare of unrelated group members". Another concluded that "chimpanzees made their choices based solely on personal gain".Collectively, these studies championed a view of chimps as reluctant altruists, who only act selflessly in response to pressure, and who generally don't help unfamiliar chimps, "even when they are able to do so at virtually no cost to themselves". But Frans de Waal from the Living Links Centre at Emory University thinks that this portrait is wrong. He says, "The authors of these studies moved from not finding evidence for prosocial choice to thinking they had proven its absence."De Waal thinks that the previous tests handicapped the chimps by putting them in situations that masked their altruistic tendencies. They couldn't communicate, they had to cope with complicated equipment involving levers, and they often sat so far apart that they had little understanding of how their choices affected their fellows. With his colleague Victoria Horner, de Waal designed a new experiment to account for these problems. And, lo and behold, chimps spontaneously helped their partners, even without any prompting..." | |

7 Worst Capital Punishments for Being (Illegally) Gay | |
11:01:36 PM, Sunday, August 14, 2011 | |
"Homosexuality has a long way to go in the United States, but an even tougher, bleaker road to pass through in other parts of the world. Particularly in Africa and the Middle East where the Islamic law is held in extreme rigor, homosexuality is dealt with as an outright crime and is sometimes even punishable by death. Here are the worst forms of government-mandated punishment for simply being homosexual in different parts of the world..." | |

World's Best Marine Reserve: Cabo Pulmo: Photos | |
10:38:59 PM, Sunday, August 14, 2011 | |
"Established in 1995, Mexico's Cabo Pulmo Marine National Park is slightly more than 7,000 hectares of coastal waters in the Gulf of California, offshore from the small village of Cabo Pulmo. The park's establishment followed a period of determined lobbying by the village's 100 or so residents, who had become alarmed at overfishing and declines in the area's marine life.The reserve is no more than 5 kilometers (3 miles) wide and measures just 14 kilometers (almost 9 miles) north to south. And yet its impact on the marine life within it, such as these Devil Rays, has been profound – so much so that researchers have dubbed it "the most successful marine reserve in the world."" | |

Avoiding Deceptive 'Opt-Out' Online ScamsBy Jason AldermanProverbs survive because of their universality. Take the adage, "One bad apple spoils the barrel." It teaches us that good people (or good businesses) can be tainted by association with those whose actions are perceived as unscrupulous, even if they themselves don't employ the same deceitful tactics. Here's an example: Because a very small number of e-commerce merchants have abused a practice called "negative renewal option billing," consumer confidence in the trustworthiness of all online retailers is being undermined. According to a recent Visa Inc. survey, 29 percent of Americans believe they've been victimized by this practice. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) concurs, noting that approximately 3.2 million Americans reported these or similar types of unauthorized charges in 2007. In a nutshell, negative option billing is where customers are required to opt out of recurring charges for future products or services, often by being instructed to unclick a pre-checked "terms and conditions" or "payment authorization" box. This clause is usually buried in the fine print most people don't bother to read. So how are people lured in? It may be as simple as signing up for a free trial or sample of a product or service, not realizing that you've actually agreeing to be billed monthly for future shipments or charges if you don't proactively cancel the service at the end of the trial period. Canceling itself can be an ordeal, since some merchants have notoriously slow or unresponsive customer service (endless holds, no toll-free service number, hiding or omitting opt-out information, difficult return policies, etc.). The problem has grown in recent months, thanks to deceptive merchants taking advantage of lower advertising costs to reach broader audiences. Visa, which monitors the merchant payment system, found that merchants using deceptive marketing practices have up to 20 times as many consumer disputes as average e-commerce merchants. In response the FTC, the Better Business Bureau and Visa have joined forces to educate the public about negative option marketing and how to avoid being victimized. Among the steps they recommend are:
If you're being victimized by unauthorized recurring charges or inadvertently signed up for them, first try to resolve the situation with the merchant. Look for cancellation instructions on their website or call customer service. If they can't or won't resolve the problem, contact the financial institution that issues your card and dispute the charges. As part of your cardholder agreement, they will advocate on your behalf with the merchant's bank. Also report the problem to the Better Business Bureau - ideally, with the local chapter where the merchant is headquartered. And finally, report abusive marketing practices to the FTC's complaint assistance center at www.ftc.gov/complaint. - (Jason Alderman directs Visas financial education programs.) |

By simply setting foot in Damien's world in Berlin, I was astounded by his openness and almost carnivorous need for constant melody. Young and passionate, Damien has cut himself a world that seems almost apart from the rest of Berlin, creating a fierce and driving energy of his own. His contagious laughter and high spirits make a fleshly, wild concoction, while in his studio or behind his turntables he strikes a dapper figure in combining sounds from the four corners of the world. Far from colorless, bland productions, Damien's musical universe brings you in an intricate jungle of tribalism, deepness and honeyed vocals. Through soothing, relaxed arrangements, Kamil's music is able to carry us to a lolling atmosphere, trailing back to the chill-out, primitive roots that lie within each one of us.
And you can listen to so for yourself through this exclusive set made especially for this blog: "Berlin My Heart".
Graziella Buontempo: Who is Damien Kamil Sahri?
Damien Kamil Sahri: It's just me.
GB: What is your earliest childhood memory when it comes to music? At what point in time did you decide that you wanted to be a musician?
DKS: I don't know if there was a precise point in time at which I realized that I wanted to be a musician, but my desire for creativity has always been really strong and not only for music. My earliest important childhood memory related to sound was probably when scratching my first hip-hop records at house parties in the late 90′s.
GB: If you had to choose 5 words to define your music, what would they be?
DKS: Five Words Is Not Enough
GB: You lived for a long time in NYC and you currently live in Berlin. Both cities are extremely vibrant and energetic both from a social and artistic point of view. What are some of the differences you have noticed among the cities? How have these cities empowered you as an artist?
DKS: NYC and Berlin are the most influential cities of the planet for me and they both teach me equally a lot, but in their own ways.NY is tough. It grabs you by the guts and pushes you to swim faster than one another in a big ocean of competitive challenges. Berlin is not so rough, it's completely the opposite but it's also dangerous…I would say that in NYC you have to be careful not to spend too much time working and in Berlin not to spend too much time chillin'.
GB: What makes Berlin so special to you?
DKS: Salvador Dali once said that freedom is like intelligence: it is a nuisance to people.After spending some time in jail, Dali found himself completely redirected through his own freedom because it was taken away from him. The same happened to me. After having a lot of freedom in NYC, I was restrained and had a lot of time to think for myself, so when I was free again, I knew exactly where to go in my inspiration, and Berlin was here for me.
GB: Berlin is a relatively young city. It is full of young people and great vibes. In the last 5 to 10 years, tourism has boomed, mainly attracted by the freedom and music scene that Berlin invites to. Do you have the feeling that certain types of music that were once labeled as "underground" have become highly commercialized (even in a city like Berlin that lives of art and music)? Do you think that now is the perfect opportunity for music to evolve into something entirely new and different?
DKS: By definition, underground doesn't have the same incentive as commercial. A song can be famous and still be underground, but a song can also be commercial and completely unknown because it doesn't "sell" enough so I suppose underground means: music that is created by a precise array of artists for a chosen elite of listeners and their evolution within that genre. Commercial means: music made for a maximum amount of people, success in meeting standard for social and entertainment expectations, and acquisition of financial compensation.Of course, it isn't black and white. I don't believe in radical changes and I think that music, like any other artistic activity, involves a lot of research and cannot only include the desire to make something new. Since our primate ancestors were hitting rocks on hollow trees, people have been creating new ways to make music and assemble harmonies and rhythms. I therefore believe that Music will continue its evolution according to the ongoing technological development over time, but only through acknowledgment of its history and its purpose to life in general.
GB: How can artists differentiate themselves when so many productions sound almost the same?
DKS: By pushing their style to next level! You can be influenced, but you have to be able to influence as well. I think it's amazing when you can touch someone's soul as much you have been touched by someone else's music before, but listening to your own stuff all day doesn't make sense. So by going out, meeting people, exploring and collaborating you can open up yourself to other varieties of sounds and find what you really want. Forge your own appreciation of music and define that one message you want to spread to your audience so that they know what you stand for, always.
GB: You have a residence in Berlin at Stattbad, a unique place inhabited by artists of all kinds. How is it working with so much diversity surrounding you? How does it influence you?
DKS: It's amazing. After living across the street from Stattbad for one year now, I can say that my friends are having a hard time getting me out of the neighborhood. I'm not only resident there, I'm also the proud member of a beautiful team. Whether it's a simple breakfast with the skateboarding crew before a competition, a street art exhibition in the disaffected olympic swimming pool, or a heavy underground party in the basement, it's always pure Berlin energy and it feels just like home.

Carnival said the ship's emergency diesel generator failed, but the cruise line disputed notions of a widespread system failure.
"The ship's power plant, propulsion and hotel systems are fully operational. Aside from some periodic interruptions to restroom and elevator service for a few hours Tuesday night, at no time have any of the ship's systems and services not been functional," Carnival said in its statement.
The company said it was flying the more than 4,000 passengers and will give them discounts. By late Saturday, most of the passengers had left St. Maarten by air.
Once all passengers leave the ship, the Dream's crew will sail back to Port Canaveral on Sunday, the company said. The ship's next voyage has been canceled.
Passenger David Howard said he thought conditions were fine aboard the Dream, but said he was frustrated with how his family and other passengers were treated and by the "lack of communication."
Howard said he and his family weren't told until 1:45 a.m. Friday they had to get off the ship by 7:30 a.m., so they had to rush to pack in the middle of the night.
A message from the captain
Dream passengers received a letter from the captain, according to a passenger who e-mailed a photo of the correspondence to CNN.
Capt. Massimo Marino told passengers they would be booked on flights to Orlando or another destination. Passengers with cars at Port Canaveral would be bused from Orlando to the facility about an hour away.
"We sincerely apologize for the disappointment this unexpected change has caused and regret we were unable to provide you with the fun and memorable cruise vacation we had in store for you," he wrote.

Charles Owen Enjoys Huge Presence at Hickstead with the Charles Owen Shopping Village and International Riders Lounge
Charles Owen continues its 2012 partnership with The All England Jumping Course at Hickstead with the opening of a Trade Stand in the Charles Owen Shopping Village and the launch of the International Riders' Lounge for the enjoyment of this year's International riders.
Hickstead - the home of British show jumping – was established in 1960 by the late Douglas Bunn and is considered one of the premier equestrian venues in the world. Offering six arenas, permanent seating for over 5,000 spectators, 26 corporate hospitality suites, and conferencing and entertainment facilities for up to 250, Hickstead is an impressive setting.
The Charles Owen Shopping Village was launched during last month's successful British Jumping Derby Meeting, and will continue throughout The Royal International Horse Show, July 17 – 22.
The Charles Owen Shopping Village is located just outside the main competition arena, where spectators and riders alike enjoy world class shopping. Savvy shoppers can visit the Hickstead website to download valuable coupons for the retailers located within the Charles Owen Shopping Village to enjoy considerable savings. Numerous retailers will have additional Charles Owen helmets in stock and Charles Owen sales reps will be on hand to conduct professional fittings and ensure the perfect style and fit.
Additionally, Charles Owen will host the International Riders' Lounge for another year. Throughout the duration of the Royal International, Charles Owen will provide comforting hospitality and relaxation for competing International riders.
Roy Burek, Managing Director of Charles Owen & Co., commented, "We are pleased to sponsor Hickstead and the Charles Owen Shopping Village and to have such a significant presence within the Village both in our own trade stand and in the trade stands of our numerous stockists. We look forward to welcoming International riders to the International Riders' Lounge for rest and relaxation both before and after their performances. Like Hickstead, Charles Owen & Co has a rich tradition in British show jumping and we enjoy our high visibility at this esteemed venue."

Source of an Epic FAIL
I've been seeing the bullshit full page ads for Icelandic Glacial water in the print edition of the Los Angeles Times for months now and every time I do they piss me off.
If you know the Creative Greenius you know that I am easily pissed off by the charlatans, greenwashers and pompous posers who prey upon the ill-informed and gullible and that's exactly what Icelandic Glacial water is and does.
I might have even kept it to myself if the shell that is left of the L.A. Times hadn't delivered an actual bottle of this snake oil water right along with my newspaper last week.
Unsolicited and unwanted I've now got to find a sustainable way to use this crap before I recycle their lying bottle which says the water is "Glacial" despite it actually not being. But hey, it was "inspired" by glaciers in much the same way it's carbon neutrality is inspired by a cynical and phony marketing ploy.
Icelandic makes a big deal about being 100% carbon neutral which means they have a self certification from a new certification company they set up and are the first "customer" of. But I'm betting they didn't include the carbon footprint of shipping all the sample bottles to all the points of distribution for Times delivery people and then the footprint of all the cars and vans delivering all those subscriber papers inside of the plastic bags that were also required. But hey, it's the inspiration that counts, right?

"Over" S2 / E10
- A- Community Grade
For every question, there is an answer, even though it might not be the one we want. Last week Walter found out that he was going to live beyond the next few weeks. We knew then that the question of his life had changed, from "how can I provide for my family?" to "what am I going to do with the rest of my life?" This week Walter starts trying to answer that question. At the same time, and almost as affectingly, Skylar finds out that she has to answer it as well. And there's a hint that Walt Jr. isn't immune to the existential crisis either. While there's nothing surprising about the eventual answer Walter discovers, almost against his will -- it's still deeply embedded in the show's premise, after all -- the road he took to get there, and the drama of the one-eighty that the One True Answer represents, left me laughing and gasping in equal measure.

Delivering solutions that empower governments to have deeper public engagement, become more efficient, deliver improved transparency, accountability and consumer experience satisfaction levels.
In an age of growing technology, economic liberalization, a booming global investment environment, LINK Development has met the challenging demand for an urgent improvement in government services to citizens, businesses, and investors. By simplifying government communications, we turn the frustrating jargon and bureaucratic legalese found in many government processes and communications into simple, transparent and positive consumer experiences.
We believe that true simplification requires reconceptualizing and redesigning communications to provide clear and helpful information in a consumer-focused and cost-effective manner.
Informed by user-centered research, we transform government communications into simple, transparent, consumer-focused touch points that enhance comprehension, increase the likelihood of accurate and complete transactions, encourage compliance and alleviate security concerns with integrated, secure information sharing and protection. Thus improving fiscal and operational efficiencies to achieve positive policy, program, and operational performance – to provide responsive citizen-centric services while enhancing quality of life.
Trusted by influential governments in the region in light of our regional presence, elaborate track record, and experience, we have become trusted technology partners to regional governments, delivering their e-government projects, and gaining the trust of others to realize their e-government plans.
Our public sector solutions help you to maximize government and citizen services efficiency for optimal public value.
Online services have become a must for government agencies that want to cut costs, reduce red-tape, improve efficiencies and enhance citizens' experience.
The 'LINK eGov Services Accelerator' is one that capitalizes on Microsoft SharePoint, catering to government entities wanting to embrace e-government in an incremental fashion. It enables such municipalities and agencies to provide services through the Web with minimal initial investment and faster time to market as a first step implementation that is both scalable and cost-effective. Part of the solution is the back end management intranet including workspaces through which government employees are able to fulfill citizen and business requests providing a platform for 2-way communication between citizens, whether individuals or organizations, and government agencies.
Our e-services have been a testament to our commitment to delivering high quality services to governments, offering more convenience and efficiency in addition to enabling better handling of queries by employees and promote greater transparency.
E-Service example:
Governments are now focusing on efficient and timely service delivery more than ever. With the rising population and increasing service expectations, the need to have a single, comprehensive view of citizens' correspondence with the government, history and current issues is a must.
Integrating citizens' data to achieve the 360 view, establishing multi-channel communications while ensuring citizen's privacy, enables governments to deliver higher quality service. Responding and resolving their complaints and problems in a timely and accurate fashion improves citizens' satisfaction and increases government credibility & trust.
Community Mobilization using Social Media
Governments are now keen on providing as many touch-points with citizens as possible. Social networks are amongst the most populated of destinations and according to Gartner will continue to be during the coming couple of years. Accordingly social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, to name a few, pose an effective touch-point with citizens and business.
As one of our many innovations in LINK development we are engaging with Governments to provide community mobilization solutions that jumpstart government presence on social networks enabling them to embrace Government 2.0.
While we are very passionate about technology, we also believe that visual design, information architecture, interaction design, usability engineering are key success factors in our solutions.
Governments need not only to have an online presence, but also develop an online brand strategy that is unique and delivers the interaction and experience that is best suited for their identity, their citizens and business objectives.
With governments launching new services user requests, problems & complaints, data grows exponentially. Decision makers need effective data presentations to be able to identify trends, understand relationships through visual data analysis.
Our Dashboards are a customizable, flexible and extensible solution. Data visualization and data analysis enables more effective decision making and better alignment between service providers and users.
Through real-time reports, insightful statistics, charts and performance indicators, executives and employees are jointly more likely to recognize potential opportunities and areas for improvement in order to proactively take appropriate action, thus improving communication of goals, strategies and indorsing government transparency
Unified Communications Improving Service Delivery
Within the governments, internal communications are core for delivering citizen and business services. Bridging the digital divide between legacy telecommunication systems and computing systems, through using our Unified Communications solutions, significantly impacts the efficiency and timely response of governments in delivering their services and responding to citizens and business needs.
With Unified Communication all the above is possible and most importantly without any rip and repair, through leveraging your existing infrastructure and keeping your PSTN and IP networks as they are.
Based on the latest Microsoft technologies, our solution is software-based, helping governments stay flexible and capable of adapting to change as it happens.

This is not the new Logan MCV, but the Kombi. Difference? the wheelbase. MCV is based on the Pick-Up while the Kombi is the wagon variant of the (Logan) sedan.
