DAYE, China --A 5-year-old girl left alone in her apartment building in Daye, China, ended up almost losing her life when she climbed out of a 24th-floor window on Saturday.
The girl's head got caught between the window bars some 76 yards from the ground. She was left holding on to the railing until a neighbor heard her cry and called for help.
After firefighters cut the window bars with bolt cutters, a neighbor carefully reached the girl from a nearby window and helped pull her to safety.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Tuesday lashed out at the notion that he was a "Robin Hood in reverse," calling the president's attack "Obamaloney."
Speaking to supporters in Connecticut on Monday night, President Barack Obama said that Romney would increase taxes on middle class Americans so that he could give the top 2 percent of earners a tax cut.
"It's like Robin Hood in reverse," Obama charged. "It's Romney Hood."
During an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, the GOP candidate fired back.
"We've been watching the president say a lot of things about me and about my policies, and they're just not right," Romney told Fox News' Carl Cameron.
"And if I were to coin a term it would be 'Obamaloney.' He's serving up a dish which is simply in contradiction of the truth, and it relates to everything from how I'm going to help the middle class to tax policy. He's just simply saying things that are not accurate."
An independent analysis released last week by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center determined that Romney's plan to slash tax rates by 20 percent would actually mean that 95 percent of Americans would pay an average of $500 more per year, while millionaires would see a $87,000 cut in their taxes.
The Romney campaign has called the study "biased" and "a joke."

Ask the legal expert
Attorney John Durso, Ungaretti & Harris LLP
A resident recently died, and we would like to be paid for lengthy caregiving services at our nursing facility. The surviving spouse said they were separated so she shouldn't have to pay anything. How do we resolve this problem?
There are a number of options to consider in pursuing payment for services. Begin by examining the residency agreement and admission documents to see if the spouse or anyone else agreed to be responsible for payment. If someone has agreed to be financially responsible, then pursue payment from that person.
Regarding the surviving spouse, generally a person is and remains responsible for his or her spouse's medical expenses. Your state's laws determine this. For example, in Illinois, a person shares responsibility for payment of his or her spouse's medical expenses, even if the couple is separated, and remains responsible after the spouse's death. Check your state's law to see if the surviving spouse's claim that he or she is not responsible for payment is correct. It is likely that it is not, and the facility should pursue the surviving spouse for payment.
At the same time, ascertain whether the resident had a will and whether an estate has been opened for the resident. If so, immediately file a claim with the estate for payment of the resident's account. There is usually a limited time in which a creditor may file a claim (often as short as three to six months), so the facility should file a claim without delay. The resident's estate might have sufficient assets to pay the claim.
If a resident is able but refuses to pay, however, it is a good idea for the facility to begin the involuntary discharge process for non-payment.
Many times, a resident will pay the balance after the facility notifies him or her of the pending discharge. Even if the resident does not pay, it is better to receive no payment for a modest balance than for a much larger balance down the line.

SCANDAL: Kim Se Ah sued for an alleged affair
Actress Kim Se Ah, most recently in Monster, is being sued for 100 million won ($84,000) for being a part of an alleged affair. The actress, who is well known for giving marriage advice on multiple programs, has been cited by the wife of the man involved as the reason behind her filing for divorce.
Actress Kim Se Ah, who has been married to cellist Kim Kyu Sik for seven years (and is the mother of two), is being accused of allegedly having been in an on-going affair with the vice president of an accounting firm. The wife of the vice president has recently come forward in order to file a lawsuit against the actress, and while the man's name has not yet been revealed, Kim Se Ah seems to be taking the brunt of the heat.
Kim Se Ah has denied all claims of such an affair, but some sources have reported that the vice president allegedly gave Kim Se Ah a monthly allowance of 5 million won, an officetel apartment in Cheongdam-dong, and that the personal car driven by Kim Se Ah is also owned by the vice president's company.
While the investigation into the these accusations of infidelity are still being conducted, MBC has released a statement notifying the public that Kim Se Ah will no longer be participating in the filming of Monster. However, they also went on to clarify that her absence is not due to the lawsuit but rather because they have already completed filming all the scenes that require her to be present.
All we can do now is wait and see what the investigation uncovers.

The Florida Gators recruiting board is expanding by the day at the offensive line position and that continued last week when the Gators visited a new prospect.
That new offensive line prospect is Landon Dickerson (6-5, 297, Hudson, N.C. South Caldwell) who received a visit from the Florida Gators last week.
"They just started contacting me pretty recently," Dickerson said. "They contacted me probably two weeks ago and Coach [Greg] Nord came up to my school last week and visited with me. We just talked and then I've called a couple of the coaches since then to help build a relationship with them."
The next step for the Florida Gators recruiting efforts is to get Dickerson on campus for a visit and that's something that could happen next month.
"Right now, I'm trying to plan out my last official visit but Florida is definitely a possibility," he said of a potential official visit to Florida. "It's really just going to depend on getting a schedule together after the holidays. I plan to sit down with my family soon and get a plan together for January."
Despite never visiting the Florida Gators, Dickerson knows a few things about the Gators program under Jim McElwain and offensive line coach Mike Summers.
"I'm not too familiar with the program but Coach McElwain had them playing in the SEC championship this year," Dickerson said. "There is obviously something good going on down there and I know they're really shallow on the offensive line depth chart so they have a need for guys to come in and play right away. That's a plus."
Dickerson has been a starter since day one in high school and that's something that he would like to continue doing in college and he says that helps out the Gators chances.
"Playing early definitely helps Florida out," he said. "I've never been one to sit on the bench and not play so if I could play that would be great, I understand that starting in the first game is hard but to have the opportunity to compete and play instead of redshirt is great."
INSIDERS TAKE: Right now Florida State, Tennessee and Auburn are his top three schools but Florida and Alabama are also squarely in the mix. If Florida can get him on a visit then the Florida Gators could have a real shot here. It's still very early in the process for both parties at this time though.

The four main sources of labor laws are:
- Codes and Statutes
- Judicial decisions
- Rules and regulations issued by administrative agencies
- International laws and conventions
Code and Statutes
In the Philippines, the primary source of labor laws is Presidential Decree No. 442, otherwise known as the Labor Code of the Philippines.
The Labor Code was enacted on May 1, 1974, Labor Day, by Ferdinand Marcos exercising legislative power. It took effect six months later on November 1, 1974. Since its enactment, the Labor Code has undergone several amendments. The most notable amendment was brought about by Republic Act No. 6715, also known as the Herrera-Veloso Law, which took effect on March 21, 1989.
The Labor Code is divided into six books, covering aspects of employment from the pre-hiring to termination, conditions of employment, security of tenure, provisions governing labor relations, such as those involving the constitutional right of workers to self-organization, collective bargaining and peaceful concerted activities, as well as provisions dealing with social welfare benefits.
The six books composing the Labor Code are as follows:
- Book I – Pre-Employment
- Book II – Human Resources Development
- Book III – Conditions of Employment
- Book IV – Health, Safety, and Social Welfare Benefits
- Book V – Labor Relations
- Book VI – Post-Employment
Aside from the Labor Code of the Philippines, there are many other statutes and laws that affects labor, such as:
- 13th Month Pay Law
- Retirement Pay Law (Republic Act No. 7641)
- Paternity Leave Act of 1996 (Republic Act No. 8187)
- Magna Carta for Disabled Persons (Republic Act. No. 7277)
- Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995 (Republic Act. No. 7877)
Judicial decisions
Judicial decisions interpreting labor laws are also, in that sense, sources of labor laws. In accordance with Article 8, Civil Code: "Judicial decisions applying or interpreting the laws or the Constitution shall form part of the legal system of the Philippines."
This is not to say, though, that courts can promulgate laws. Courts cannot promulgate laws, they simply interpret or construe the law.
Jurisprudence, in our system of government, cannot be considered as an independent source of law; it cannot create law. While it is true that judicial decisions which apply or interpret the Constitution or the laws are part of the legal system of the Philippines, still they are not laws. Judicial decisions, though not laws, are nonetheless evidence of what the laws mean, and it is for this reason that they are part of the legal system of the Philippines. Judicial decisions of the Supreme Court assume the same authority as the statute itself.[1]
Rules and regulations issued by administrative agencies
Rules and regulations issued by administrative agencies are also deemed sources of labor laws insofar as they supplement provisions of the law or provide means for carrying them out or give information relating thereto.
When an administrative agency promulgates rules and regulations, it "makes" a new law with the force and effect of a valid law. Rules and regulations when promulgated in pursuance of the procedure or authority conferred upon the administrative agency by law, partake of the nature of a statute. This is so because statutes are usually couched in general terms, after expressing the policy, purposes, objectives, remedies and sanctions intended by the legislature. The details and the manner of carrying out the law are often times left to the administrative agency entrusted with its enforcement. In this sense, it has been said that rules and regulations are the product of a delegated power to create new or additional legal provisions that have the effect of law.[2]
The leading agency charged with implementation and enforcement of labor laws in the Philippines is the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
Other agencies are:
- Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration (OWWA)
- Philippine Overseas Employment Agencies (POEA)
- National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB)
- National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC)
- National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC)
- Employees Compensation Commission (ECC)
- Technical Educations and Skills Related Authority (TESDA)
International laws and conventions
International laws and conventions are also considered sources of laws in the Philippines under the doctrine of incorporation. This is pursuant to Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution which provides that the Philippines adopts the generally accepted principles of international law as part of the law of the land.
One of the international agencies that is actively involved in crafting and adoption of international conventions and recommendations dealing with labor issues is the International Labor Organization (ILO).
ILO is a specialized agency of the United Nations. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland.[3]

From Wichita, Kansas, USA:
My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes January 2004. He has been in a honeymoon stage, only needing moderate dietary care and 24 hour Lantus injections to keep his blood sugars well on track. His A1c has been within the normal range for persons without diabetes since his diagnosis. SUDDENLY, his insulin needs have changed and have not followed the patterns we've noted and gotten to know in the past. We have had to slowly increase the amount of Lantus from 13 units per day to 17 over the past week and a half, more than he has ever taken, even when ill. In addition, we had have to use approximately one unit of NovoLog per every 50 mg/dl [2.8 mmol/L] we want to lower his blood sugar and one unit for every 15g of carbohydrates he ingests, as best as we can figure.
He seems to be in a growth spurt, and we did let him eat a some higher carbohydrate meals during the holidays, adding NovoLog as we felt he would need it. I'm worried that we have ended his honeymoon period by letting his diet become more liberal with sugar, an occasional slice of Thanksgiving pie, etc. This saddens me, although it may have no basis in fact.
He was examined by the general doctor yesterday, as his ear canal looked red. The doctor said it was red, but the drum was not infected, and did not feel he needed an antibiotic. I thought this might have explained the recent need for more insulin. His teeth look okay.
I cannot reach his pediatric endocrinologist, but our appointment is this week. Does the honeymoon period normally end abruptly, quickly and dramatically increasing the doses of insulin needed? I was under the impression it would be a more gradual progression that we could adjust to as it came.
The duration of and end of the honeymoon phase are not predictable at all. In your son's case, I see no other plausible explanation, given the absence of infections and fever, for the relative abrupt increase in his insulin needs. You're doing quite well in adapting insulin dosages to his needs. That the best it can be done for him.

"George Lucas is revered as a great storyteller, but his greatest story unfolded off-screen. Rubin spins this untold tale with historical perspective, exhaustive scholarship, and wit. This book is not just for the many fans of Lucas' films, but also for anyone who wants to understand what the recent rapid evolution of technology means for our culture, and the human story of how we got here."
Steve Silberman
Contributing Editor, Wired
"Wow. An incredible saga of Lucas, Star Wars, and how it changed filmmaking (and computers) forever. I loved Rubin's ability to interweave a story about business, technology and movies—three of my favorite things!"
Reed Hastings
CEO & Co-Founder, Netflix
"Brilliant.. a detailed glimpse under the hood of Lucas' digital skunkworks."
Thomas Dolby
Musician & Technology Entrepreneur
"Rubin has produced a completely engrossing and personal history detailing not just the revolution of digital filmmaking but how Hollywood itself was changed by Lucas and a handful of his closest allies. Filled with personal anecdotes and fascinating accounts, Droidmaker is a must read for the fan and filmmaker alike."
Vicky Jenson
Director, Shrek, Shark Tale
"The ultimate insider guide to the making of cinema's greatest saga…"
Dan Dubno
Producer & Technologist, CBS News
"Rubin is the perfect historian and biographer for Lucas' Computer Division. He was there, he was influenced first hand, and spent the next twenty years successfully preaching the word of digital video to professionals and consumers."
Kate Sanford
Editor, Sex and the City
"This is a remarkably comprehensive, highly readable compendium about the origins of digital cinema, its technological underpinnings and many of the people who helped create it. It is a compelling introduction to a revolution in visual communication and story telling."
Andries van Dam
Chairman, Computer Science Dept, Brown University
Co-Founder, Siggraph
"...There are many books on Lucas, but none quite like this one: the combination of Rubin's insider information and research gives readers a view of how movies came to incorporate digital advances. Complete with photos, it is a facinating book that any fan of Star Wars, Lucas or technology will enjoy. The accessible language is a big plus. Highly recommended."
Library Journal
November, 2005
"...The book also looks at how movies are really made, so it's even more captivating to those who are interested in the actual process of filmmaking. The book covers a lot of technical discussions, but Rubin's writing style is accessible rather than dry. The greatest thing about the book is, after the last decade of people taking shots at George Lucas and his second STAR WARS trilogy, it felt like a lot of the Lucasfilm mystique was lost. This book is well-timed to remind everyone just how important Lucas and his company are, the commercial products aside. By finally opening up a bit and revealing some secrets to the world, Lucas has managed to regain some of his mystique that long seemed lost."
Chris Ryall
One Hand Clapping, Sept. 11, 2005
"...Rubin's book is incredibly detailed, discursive and eye-opening, making Lucas' shadow loom large over contemporary media, whether you liked the STAR WARS prequels or not. The author involves Francis Ford Coppola, Akira Kurosawa, Steven Spielberg, Michael Crichton, Atari, Sun Microsystems, AOL, Pixar and more while occupying a middle ground between the Lucas-sanctioned hagiography of Marcus Hearn's The Cinema of George Lucas and the no-holds barred approach of Dale Pollock's Skywalking... 4.5 stars out of 5" (J.R.)
November/December, 2005
"...Ultimately, Rubin, a former Lucasfilm insider, describes the wide range of Lucas' influence in a way that may offer something for every kind of reader and ``Star Wars'' fan.... [Rubin] provided the ambitious thread for his book -- a history of the division that also ``would span the history of filmmaking and the history of technology.'' As overwhelming as that sounds, however, it's delivered largely in bite-sized sections, making it easy to get through at whatever pace is convenient.
Mike Antonucci, San Jose Mercury News
Oct 28, 2005
"...a fascinating read... and very well researched - a must for any fan of gaming history."
Ross Miller, Joystiq
Dec 9, 2005
"When first looking at Michael Rubin's droidMaker, you can't help but be nervous that another 400 pages have been wasted on the special effects magic behind Star Wars. Thankfully, that's not the case - far from it. DroidMaker really captures the 20-year technology journey that runs through Lucasfilm for a period and ends with Pixar Animation Studios. In short, it's the tale of relentless technophiles, visionary patrons and a film revolution.
...What you won't find is a mushy tribute to Star Wars and the "magic" behind it. The Star Wars characters, stories and myths have little role in this book. Rather, it's a well researched account of how Pixar came to be. The book gives the engineers their due and allows them to steal the limelight for a moment from Lucas and Jobs. It may read a bit drier than the typical, sensationalized business profiles, but that's part of droidMaker's charm. There should be more books like this. The engineers deserve a bit of glory now and then. If you know someone who is both a hardware and a Star Wars geek, then you've found your present.."

TAMPA — The reaction to vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's acceptance speech was not, per usual, simply divided along partisan lines, with the media mostly reporting how it played with various audiences.
Instead, mainstream outlets prominently tagged a number of the points he made as flatly inconsistent with the facts. Of the five best-read pieces on The Washington Post's Web site Thursday, No. 1 was a column headlined, "Paul Ryan fails — the truth"; No. 2 was an editorial, "Mr. Ryan's misleading speech"; and No. 5 was another column, "Paul Ryan's breathtakingly dishonest speech.'' Are you sensing a pattern? If not, I recommend David Firestone's "Beyond Factual Dishonesty'' in the New York Times, or a look back at clips of CNN's Gloria Borger, who noted in real time that Ryan was wrong on several points. Even FoxNews.com had a post that labeled the oration "dazzling, deceiving and distracting."
Of course, each of these pieces is analysis or opinion rather than a straight news story, but in the new media world, those distinctions are less obvious than ever. There also is far more fact checking within news columns these days, too, mostly as a result of competition and hectoring from not just online news outlets in the traditional sense but from anyone with a Twitter account.
That's why Ryan, whose description of Obama put me in mind of poor, doomed Jay Gatsby, "grasping at a moment that has already passed, like a ship trying to sail on yesterday's wind,'' is himself sailing into something quite new. He's been forced to navigate an emerging cultural norm in which even the most old-school among us — here! — are increasingly willing to call out falsehoods in our own voices.
When CNN's Anderson Cooper took on a prominent Democratic, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, with a new aggressiveness recently, he almost seemed to have located his inner Will McAvoy, the truth-talking anchor on HBO's "The Newsroom." The fictional McAvoy is much mocked, yet he's also a very real manifestation of our yearning for a lot more on-the-spot, in-your-face fact checking, and we are without question moving in that direction. (Old Will went too far, though, calling tea partyers "American Taliban,'' who, if you've checked the real news lately, are busy killing people.)
As I listened to Paul Ryan, tweeting as I went, I couldn't remember ever hearing an acceptance speech so rich in untrue un-facts. No, the federal government is not "in charge of health care," and it isn't remotely fair to blame the president for "a downgraded America."
Most grating to me were his words about how we must care for the vulnerable. "We have responsibilities, one to another — we do not each face the world alone,'' he said, steering perilously close to saying we don't all build it on our own. "And the greatest of all responsibilities is that of the strong to protect the weak. The truest measure of any society is how it treats those who cannot defend or care for themselves."
If I didn't know better, I'd stand and cheer. But how does that square with the Ryan budget, which dramatically cuts social programs for just those people? Or with all of his Randian rhetoric that any hand up is toxic, lulling the unsuspecting into lives of dependence and laziness?
Then there was this: "When I was waiting tables, washing dishes or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life." Of course he didn't; the father he lost far too young was a lawyer, and the rest of his family was prosperous, too. (Disclosure: I shared an apartment with one of his many Janesville cousins my senior year at Notre Dame.)
When I thought about it, though, not one of the things that irked me about his speech was so much a flat-out falsehood as creative marketing. Looking back at fact-checks of convention speeches four years ago, I see that there was plenty of stretch in Obama's and Palin's, and that McCain's drew even more corrections from fact-checkers than Ryan's did. Are we just more aware now, more inclined to see what we used to call a shading of the facts as plain false?
Earlier this week, the Republican message-tester Frank Luntz told me that using the word "lie" is a big no-no in politics, because the negative impression splashes back and makes the accuser unlikable.
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina must not agree, because in a mass e-mail on Thursday, he said Ryan had "lied about Medicare. He lied about the Recovery Act. He lied about the deficit and debt. . . ."
In both that rhetoric and Ryan's, I see both sides vigorously concentrating on turning out the base rather than doing much to win over the relative handful of undecided voters who would be turned off by such talk.
We are all fact checkers now, and that's a good thing. But if we're going down this road, we're going to have to double-check our own first impressions, too.

Metabolism, the set of processes through which we gain energy from food and produce the biomolecules we need in our body's cells, is universal to life. The biochemical pathways that underpin these processes are highly similar across all organisms and species.
One central metabolic pathway learned by every A-level biology student is the Krebs cycle - which Nobel laureate Krebs actually called the citric acid cycle. It utilizes Coenzyme A as the first step in our body's energy factory products. But how did this essential set of chemical reactions, each step catalyzed by an enzyme, first arise? Each step in the cycle is not enough by itself. Life needs a sequence of these reactions, and it would have needed it before biological enzymes were around: Amino acids, the molecular components of enzymes, are made from products of the Krebs cycle.
A new paper demonstrated a network of chemical reactions in the lab which mimic the important Krebs cycle present in living organisms today, and say it could explain an important step in how life developed on Earth.
A set of biochemical processes crucial to cellular life on Earth could have originated in chemical reactions taking place on the early Earth four billion years ago. Credit: Aleksej Zelezniak/Francis Crick Institute
Life developed four billion years ago on a harsh, volcanic Earth that lacked any oxygen, but that did possess large oceans rich in metal ions. There has been much interest in how the first life forms developed in these conditions and how the biochemical processes necessary to sustain life could form from nothing. The research group from the Francis Crick Institute and the University of Cambridge say their demonstration offers an answer. They have shown an enzyme-free metabolic pathway that mirrors the Krebs cycle. It is sparked by particles called sulphate radicals under conditions similar to those on Earth four billion years ago.
The scientists used simple carbon compounds which are involved at various points in the Krebs cycle (such compounds have recently been found in a meteorite by NASA scientists) and mixed them with iron and sulphur-containing chemicals that would be found in sediments in the early oceans.
They carried out a systematic screening strategy of around 4,850 different experiments using mass spectrometry techniques, and looked out for reactions similar to those seen in the Krebs cycle.
In the vast majority of cases, the mixtures were unreactive. However, in the presence of the compound peroxydisulfate, the researchers detected 24 chemical reactions. These resembled the pattern of reactions seen in the Krebs cycle in living organisms.
An alternative hypothesis for the origin of life suggests that RNA - a molecule similar to DNA that can maintain genetic information but is more transient and more reactive - can explain the first steps towards life. This is known as the RNA-world hypothesis but the presence of RNA molecules cannot easily explain the origin of metabolism, as RNA is made from products of metabolism. The new results support the hypothesis that environmental chemistry enabled metabolism to begin.

Guadalupe Avalos wiped away tears on Monday after the woman who killed her infant son three years ago accepted responsibility for the child's death.
"I'm just glad she (the defendant) is finally going to get what she deserves," Avalos said outside the courtroom.
Defendant Maria De Los Angeles Sixtos of Livingston pleaded no contest on Monday to three felony counts of child abuse and an enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury. Sixtos entered her plea before Judge Mark V. Bacciarini in Merced Superior Court.
Avalos' son, Eriberto, was just 15 months old when he died in March 2011 after Sixtos, his baby sitter, threw him against a couch in frustration.
As part of the deal Sixtos cut with the Merced County District Attorney's Office, she will serve 14 years and eight months in state prison. Sixtos must serve more than 12 years in prison before she is eligible for her first parole hearing, according to Monika Saini, the deputy district attorney who prosecuted the case.
"The family's biggest concern was that (Sixtos) accepted responsibility," Saini said. "She's done that now, and hopefully the family will get at least some sense of closure, though I'm not really sure anyone gets a full sense of closure in something like this, a senseless tragedy."
Sixtos was ordered to appear again May 19 for formal sentencing. She remains in custody at the Merced County Jail.
Defense attorney Mary Ann Bird called the outcome "a very fair settlement."
"It's a very tough case for all the parties involved; just very, very sad," Bird said later.
Avalos hugged Saini outside the courtroom Monday and thanked the prosecutor for reaching a settlement in the case.
Avalos suspected someone was abusing her child in the weeks before his death, but multiple doctors told her there was no evidence of abuse. Without proof, Avalos said, she was unsure and feared falsely accusing anyone of criminal activity.
"And she (Sixtos) always had explanation for his injuries," Avalos said.
The case was hampered by the retirements of a lead investigator and the coroner who conducted the child's autopsy. It took more than two years for all the reports to be completed. When the autopsy report was finally completed in March last year, police confronted Sixtos, who then admitted hurting the child, police said.
"I just wonder why it took her conscience this long to make her say what she said today," Avalos said.
Avalos said her son was "a little angel" who loved hugs and kisses. He was "a really good eater" who could put away impressive amounts of alphabet soup and enjoyed playing with pots and pans "like a little chef."
"He was a really good boy, not really needy or anything," Avalos said. "He has an older (now 6-year-old) sister. She really misses him. She cries out of the blue and asks why we can't just go and get him and bring him back. She doesn't understand."
Avalos said her extended family now struggles trusting anyone with their children.
"I'm just happy she's not going to get away with it," Avalos said. "That was my fear for my family and that she won't be able to hurt anyone else now."

Audience: Businesses
Intro: 'Place' is a key component in the 4 P's marketing matrix. Having your business located in a high traffic area generates more sales usually than being in a remote place. With computers connected to the internet 24/7 and smartphone in the pocket of 1.7 Billion people, the 'Place' is becoming an 'Online Place'.

As iClick's tends to provide only premium services to their clients, they decided to revamp their website to a premium website. So they contacted Waqood
Challenge: iClick's old website had a Bounce Rate (users leaving website immediately) of 92% which is high percentage comparing to other website in the same industry. Thus, a major challenge was to improve the Bounce Rate by lowering the rate below 65%.
Waqood had to dig deeper to know the reason of such high percentage. After deep web analysis and examination of the website heat-map, we identified that a big reason of the bouncing is the User Experience of the website along with the technology used. Thus, Waqood design team along with the web team has worked together side by side to solve the issue and satisfy the client.
Waqood cross-functional team has exceeded the client's expectation by decreasing the Bounce Rate from 92% to 57%. This improvement has been reflected to the businesses performance as the leader generated by the website has increased 100%, making the website the ultimate Point of Sale for iClick.

A group appointed by President Barack Obama to review U.S. surveillance tactics is recommending widespread changes to National Security Agency programs, including ending the government storage of millions of Americans' telephone records.
Instead, the Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies is recommending that such data be held privately for the government to obtain "when necessary for national security purposes." The full report and its 46 recommendations can be found here.
The authors of the report -- who met today at the White House with Obama -- said the changes would protect privacy and civil liberties without undermining national security.
"We're not saying that the struggle against terrorism is over or that is has declined to such an extent that we can dismantle the mechanisms that we have put in place to safeguard the country," said Richard Clarke, former national coordinator for security, infrastructure protection, and counter-terrorism and served as a counter-terrorism and security adviser in the administrations of presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. "What we are saying is those mechanisms can be more transparent, and that they can have more independent outside oversight, and judicial oversight."
He said more protection for civil liberties would give "the public a sense of trust that goes beyond what it has today."
Obama, who met today with Clarke and the other members of the panel, said he'll work with his national security team to study the report, and determine which recommendations to accept.
Obama is expected to announce his decisions in January and the White House said it wouldn't comment on the group's proposals while its internal review is underway.

In perhaps his strongest defense of the Scranton sewer system sale so far, Mayor Bill Courtright said Wednesday the $195 million sale rescued the city from a state takeover that would have led to massive tax hikes.
At a forum for business and civic leaders at the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, Courtright, a Democrat seeking a second term in the Nov. 7 election, said he had no choice but to sell the system.
The deal turned especially controversial when the $3.1 million paid to lawyers who worked on it became public with details of what some of the lawyers did to earn the money still obscured. Critics have railed about the fees for months.
"It's constantly in the paper about what the attorneys made," Courtright said. "If it wasn't for — and I believe this with all my heart — the sewer deal, the city of Scranton would be in receivership right now."
The appointment of a receiver to oversee the city's finances would mean substantial tax hikes, he said. Instead, the city didn't raise property taxes this year and won't next year, he said. Beyond that, he said he can't say.
Courtright said the sale contributed to the Pennsylvania Economy League, the city's financial recovery coordinator, recommending the state allow Scranton to exit financially distressed status in three years if things keep going the way they are. The city must still stave off legal challenges to the sale, challenges that city lawyers say have no merit. State Attorney General Josh Shapiro's office also is reviewing the sale.
The sale allowed the city to reduce its high-interest, long-term debt, Courtright said. The savings on annual debt payments freed up money for the most street paving in city history, repairs to parks and firehouses and new equipment for police and firefighters, he said.
Courtright said earning the city a chance to shed its 25-year-old financially distressed label stands as his greatest success. He credited his City Hall staff and singled out consultant Henry Amoroso, who three years ago advised Courtright to auction off the city parking garages and sell its sewer system to solve its long-standing financial troubles. Amoroso thought the sewer authority sale might net only $30 million, Courtright said.
"I've been really fortunate to have good people around me," the mayor said. "I was always taught you have to put good people around you, and I haven't regretted one choice that we've made as far as the people that we've hired. And, I give them the credit. I'm not that smart. I don't take the credit."
Shedding the distressed label will make it easier to sell the city to newcomers, he said, but he expressed concern the city school district's potential $40 million deficit could unravel the city's progress.
"If the Scranton School District can't remedy their problems, it really diminishes what we did," he said. "Anything I could do to help them," he will do.
If allowed to change one thing during his first term, Courtright said he would have communicated better to the public about everything his administration was working on to solve the city's problems as the work unfolded.
In the next four years, he said he plans to pave more city streets, work with the civic organization Scranton Tomorrow to further revive the downtown and with the chamber on developing "eds and meds." That refers to working closely with colleges, hospitals and the medical school to foster economic development.
"Most of it was reactive," Courtright said of his first term. "My hope is in the next four years, we can be proactive."
The chamber plans to hear from the Republican mayor nominee, attorney Jim Mulligan, Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Courtright's appearance streamed live on the chamber's Facebook page and is available in full there at facebook.com/scrantonchamber. The chamber plans to do the same for Mulligan's appearance.

All mechanical parts work better when properly maintained and cleaned so keeping your new investment (whether it is substantial or small) in top condition is advisable and important to the longevity of your bike and components.
There are a number moving parts on your bike so wear and tear will be a natural result of riding but a small amount of effort can go a long way, for instance a regular wash can be done easily at home. You won't need any special soap or detergents, a normal dish washing detergent will be suitable.
A normal garden hose will work fine to wash your bike but you can also use a high pressure cleaner, however be careful to avoid getting close to any bearings with these as the force from the water can drive dirt and grime into the bearing casings.
Lubricating your chain regularly will increase the lifespan of your chain, your chain rings and cluster but be careful not to over lubricate your chain. Make sure to always take a cloth and wide any excess lube off the chain as soon as you are done lubricating. Applying too much lube will cause the chain to become sticky, this will then pick up dirt as you ride and form a highly corrosive paste which will eat away your drive train with every pedal stroke. Always use a non-solvent lubricant as this will not remove any of the lubricants that were applied to the smaller working parts during manufacturing.
Depending on the mileage that is done on the bike I would recommend a minor service once every four months with a major service once a year. Most bicycle retailers offer a short maintenance contract with new bikes when they are purchased and you can often upgrade these for a small fee, it is well worth the little extra as services can become costly.
When you do take your bike in for a service ask your mechanic to check the chain wear for you as replacing just your chain as it stretches could triple the life of your cluster and chain-rings which are substantially more expensive than the chain. If you feel the need to monitor this yourself then a $5 tool can be purchased from any bike shop and will give you an accurate read on your chain's lifespan.
Wet weather can cause havoc with your drive train so if you are riding in the wet give your bike a quick rinse with clean water after your ride, this will remove any dirt and oil that gets picked up off the road. These corrosives will eventually get worked into the mechanical parts of the bike and are highly detrimental.
Only you know how your bike works and sounds, if something does not feel 100% correct then get it checked out rather than ignoring it. A bike that is not working optimally can be very frustrating to ride and might end up costing more if the problem is not attended to.
This small amount of maintenance can go a long way to keeping your bike working as it should, and the effort will be worth every dollar that you save.
Enjoy the Ride.

Meta Golding is a Haitian-American actress best known for her role as Enobaria in "The Hunger Games" movie series. She is also a former professional Italian national figure skater.
Meta Golding is not what you would calla traditional actress by any means. Sure, she went through all the same training one would need to go through in order to do well in the profession, but the way that she wound up becoming a professional actress was roundabout to say the least.
Meta was born in Haiti to a Haitian mother and an American father. At the time, her father was running an aid organization out of India, and met her mother while visiting Haiti. Meta was born back in India. Due to an upbringing of her parents working for food relief organizations and the United Nations, she traveled the world as a child, residing in India, Haiti, France Italy, and Senegal along the way. As a result, she can also speak four languages: Italian, French, Creole, and English.
You might wonder why someone who lives such an interesting life would then want to become an actor, and you would be right to. Interestingly, however, this was not Meta's initial career choice, as she first tried her hand at professional ice skating while living in Italy. In fact, she even made the national team, but an injury sidelined her from the sport. Hence, a movie star was born.
After her injury, Meta moved to the U.S. to attend Cornell University to attain a degree in Theatre Arts and International Relations. This move put her on the fast track to superstardom. By 2013, she had starred in over a dozen films and TV series, with the most famous role being that of Enobaria in "The Hunger Games" series.

Actress Sofia Vergara was confronted by pro-life protesters over her frozen embryo battle with ex-fiance Nick Loeb at the premiere of Magic Mike Xxl in Los Angeles on Thursday (25Jun15).
Loeb has launched a legal claim to the embryos after claiming the Modern Family star wants to destroy the eggs they had frozen when he and Vergara were a couple and he is keen to bring them to term. The actress' lawyer has disputed his claims.
On Thursday, Vergara was on the red carpet to support fiance Joe Manganiello's new film, but it wasn't a drama-free night out for the couple as activists waved banners as they arrived for the red carpet bash.
One billboard held aloft by a protester at the screening read: "Sofia, unfreeze your daughters, unfreeze your heart," while another stated: "Lives created should be lives protected".
Vergara promptly refused to speak to the media at the event and Manganiello chose to ignore the nearby protesters or any questions about their presence.

The Premiere Issue Kevin Grady, a CD at Arnold in Boston and a co-founder of GUM (www.gumweb.com), an art/design magazine and publishing project, has launched a new publication — Lemon, a biannual magazine subtitled "Pop culture with a twist." It's theme-based, the first issue being devoted to the paranormal, dubbed the Supernatural Debut. Hence this cover shot, by Guido Vitti, of a model posing in the allegedly haunted room 24 at the Colonial Inn in Concord, Mass., which "served as a surgery unit during the Revolutionary War and has a long record of strange happenings," according to Lemon. Grady is Lemon's editor/CD, with GUM co-founder and RES founding art director Colin Metcalf the executive editor/AD. As for the look of the book, "Lemon is very influenced by Pop Art and Op Art, from the '60s in particular," says Grady. "Andy Warhol is a god to us." Speaking of Pop gods, the debut issue includes interviews with Jeff Koons, designer Rick Valicenti and the artist known as Rostarr. Lemon is available at Borders, Tower Records and Barnes & Noble, and a website is being developed at www.lemonland.net. Some spreads from the first issue are seen in this PDF.

This is a complete S-band antenna system comprising a 60 cm spun aluminium dish and patch feed, together with all necessary mounting parts.
To this you need to add the S-band pre-amplifier or converter of your choice and you're ready to receive outstanding S-band signals. The antenna can also be used for transmit, for example to uplink to the Es'hail-2 geostationary satellite.
Contemporary low noise converters only realise their full potential in conjunction with a low noise antenna, and this system offers just that. Lots of gain; low noise; excellent circularity.
A 60 cm (2 ft) system is remarkably small, and can be fitted to a camera tripod. So you can use it portable, from a condo balcony, indoors through a window, as well as conventionally on a mast.
View of dish and patch feed.
The kit comprises parts (all available separately) described in detail on related pages. The 60 cm dish has an f/d ratio of approximately 0.35, and together with the ON6UG/G3RUH patch feed delivers a measured gain of 21 dbic. With the best converters a Sun noise increase of 2.5 db is typical.
The dish is cleaned, and drilled for mounting clamps to a boom up to 42 mm (1 5/8") diameter, patch feed supports and cable access via a grommet (see photo). Dish and feed are unpainted aluminium. Assembly is by six screws for the feed supports, four nuts for the boom clamps, and takes only moments.
More detail about individual items
Excellent low-noise converters and preamplifiers are available from:
Frequency 2250-2450 MHz Gain 21 dbic -3db beamwidth 16° -10 db beamwidth 28° SWR < 1.2:1 Axial ratio 1.05:1 Polarisation RHCP Connector N-male [Option: N-female] Impedance 50 ohm Power handling 150 watt (possibly more; let me know!) Overall diameter 590 mm (23") Weight 1.4 kg (3 lb)
Price of the 60 cm S-band dish antenna system (i.e. dish, patch feed, legs and mounting) is £170 plus carriage at cost:
Flat rate for 1 to 4 antennas: UK £ 15. EU £ 30, air-mail. USA £ 44, air-mail. AUS/NZ/Pacific £ 54, air-mail. FedEx also available - please ask.Frequently asked questions

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) – St. Louis County prosecutors have filed charges, including assault on a law enforcement officer, against a man whose confrontation with police ended with an officer shooting him. Charges were filed Friday against 24-year-old Lamont Lloyd Jr.
He remains hospitalized in stable condition following the shooting on Thursday. Authorities say a Wellston officer stopped Lloyd for a traffic violation. Lloyd allegedly confronted the officer with a loaded handgun, prompting the officer to shoot him. St. Louis County police say Lloyd is expected to survive.

Pope Francis on Monday denounced those getting rich through speculation in financial markets, calling on them to use their investments for the good of humanity.
The pope, who has said he wants to create "a poor church for the poor", has frequently spoken out against the "idolatry of money" since his election last year.
The 77-year-old said "it is important that ethics once again play its due part in the world of finance" and that markets should "serve the interests of peoples and the common good of humanity".
Francis singled out speculation in agricultural markets calling it "a scandal which seriously compromises access to food on the part of the poorest members of our human family".
Many of the world's largest banks, including Barclays, Deutsche Bank and UBS, have sold off or slashed the size of their commodities businesses in the face of heavy criticism for speculating in commodities markets.
Instead, the pope called on people to put their money into ethical banks and "impact investors", who use investments to help the poor.

2016 has been a really good year for me. I have made significant progress towards my goals both personally and professionally. Some of the year's highlights include making my first business acquisition, Distisuite, and selling my first project to a Fortune 1000 client.
While there have been many positive things that occurred in 2016, there were also several things that didn't work out as well as I'd anticipated. My back injuries haven't gotten much better, my sales aren't as high as i'd wanted them to be, and my productivity has been less than ideal on a day-to-day basis.
Personal Goals For 2017
My personal goals are going to be one of my primary focuses in 2017. I have come to the realization that working almost every minute of every day is not sustainable, nor is it healthy. Becasue of this, my personal goals are focused on creating a more holistic, balanced life.
Improving my health
One of the biggest issues I have with myself is my health. I am overweight and am starting to see the early implications of this. I know that losing weight, exercising more, and eating better will make me not only be healthier, but i'll feel healthier. This will have positive impacts on all areas of my live including my mood, energy, and productivity.
- Work with my personal trainer: I started working with a personal trainer earlier this year. Since doing so, I have seen that i've been feeling better and that i'm getting stronger. I want to continue doing so 2+ days a week and try to get to the gym at least 3 days a week.
- Cook at home: One of the biggest contributors to me gaining weight these past few years has been that i've been eating out way too often. When I eat out, I make poor food choices. I want to make it a habit of cooking at home every day because when I cook at home, I tend to eat healthier. This includes preparing a lunch so I don't go out during the week and eat something unhealthy.
If I implement these 2 difficult, but not impossible, practices I should be able to improve my health relatively quickly.
Travel More
I want to make it a point to do some more traveling this year. Being able to take a break from work for a couple of days and relax somewhere that is not my home can be really refreshing, and have a positive impact on my health. Some places I am considering traveling:
- Niagara Falls
- Gettysburg
- Boston
- The Beach (Atlantic City or Ocean City)
- New York City
- Washington DC
These are all places that I can do in a long weekend without having to worry about the airport.
Education Goals
Unfortunately, I didn't learn as much in 2016 as I had anticipated. While I did vastly expand my knowledge of JavaScript, Python and Linux, I didn't make nearly as much progress as I had anticipated. I think I set goals that were too steep in 2016, so for the next year I want to make them a little less intense, and more achievable. I plan on studying for 5 hours a week, which is only an hour a day while i'm working. This will add up to 250 hours of education when 2017 is over, which is plenty of time to grasp a bunch of new concepts.
In 2016 I learned a lot of JavaScript. I was able to get a solid grasp of the language as well as a more in depth understanding of DOM manipulation in vanilla JavaScript. I didn't get to learning any more advanced libraries. My plan for 2017 is to gain a better understanding of:
- NodeJS/ExpressJS: Node is becoming more and more popular for building websites and even native apps.
- VueJS: I really like the simplicity of this library and want to start implementing it more in the applications I build.
- Functional JavaScript: I want to get a solid grasp of functional programming, and why not learn it in JS.
- React/Redux(maybe): I think it could be interesting to learn these technologies for the sake of React Native. I say maybe, as it I do not feel it is necessary to learn every trendy framework in order to complete my education. I'd rather focus on getting better with vanilla JavaScript than the popular framework of the month.
I have a deep affinity for the Python. I love the simplicity of the language, it's efficiency. I'd love to be able to write Python all day long. In order to get better with Python, I want to do the following:
- Get better with the language: Having a more in depth understanding of Python itself will make me a better Python programmer. Some of the things that I need to learn more in depth are generators, list comprehensions, map/reduce/etc.., decorators, and recursive functions.
- Django: Django is one of the best RAD frameworks in existences, and it's written in Python! I want to have an in-depth understanding on how to create web applications in Django so I can build them for myself and others quickly and efficiently.
- Flask: Flask is really interesting to me as a microframework – minimalistic and simple. I would like to have at least a basic understanding on how to create apps in Flask even if i don't ever use it. At the very least, it'll give me something to compare Django to.
PHP has only gotten more popular over the years, and it's become an overall better language to work with. I think that i'll be working in PHP to some extent quite often for the foreseeable future, so it's worth it to be as good as I can with the language.
- Laravel: I have heard nothing but good things about this framework. Getting an understanding of how to build apps in Laravel can be really useful when selling new projects, and to get a better understanding of the capabilities of PHP.
- Performance Optimization: Learning tips and tricks to squeeze every last millisecond of speed out of PHP can have material benefits to my clients. This includes caching, load balancing and queuing/messaging.
Other Things
There is an infinite amount of things that I can learn, but I only have a finite amount of time and energy. Some of the other things I want to learn more about is:
- Microservice Architecture: This has always been something that is interesting to me. Learning to break up a monolithic app into smaller, self-contained services could be really useful as I start to work on larger and more complex projects. This also includes getting a better understanding of Kubernetes to orchestrate production application workloads.
- C: I have a personal interest in IoT and microcontrollers. Most of these controllers are programmed in C so understanding the language will allow me to make cool things.
- Android/iOS Development: Learning to build native apps would be a good thing for me to learn, especially as it ties into IoT projects that I want to work on.
While there is a lot I want to learn in 2017, I thing that all of these topics are contained enough that I should be able to do so without too many issues. While this won't make me an engineering master, it'll definitely be setting me on the right path.
Professional Goals For 2017
I want 2017 to be the best year yet in my professional life. I would really like to scale ProTech, DistiSuite, and launch a standalone product this year.
ProTech has been my primary source of income since 2012. I have grown it from doing small website tweaks on eLance to building full scale applications for some of the largest companies in the world. While the quality of work that I have gotten has steadily increased, the quantity of it has not. This has been purposeful as I have been reluctant to grow the size of my team due to fear of failure and confidence. In 2017 this is going to change. I plan on putting my marketing on overdrive and learning to master of the art of delegation. If I can sell the projects, delegate them out to employees, then do QA before I deliver it I can still maintain the same quality of work (given I hire the right people) while vastly increasing the quantity of it.
It's been almost a year since I purchased DistiSuite and I couldn't be happier with the decision. In 2017, I want to rebuild the platform from the ground up – making it more feature rich, faster, and more valuable to my customers. Ultimately, I want to make DistiSuite more profitable and more efficient, which is totally doable.
Launch A Product
This sounds vague because it is a concept that I am only in the early stages of exploring. I have been a very apt follower of HackerNews of late, and there is a good amount of content there about people who are launching their own products. I would like to create something that can start passively generating some income. Growing as an entrepreneur has always been important to me, and creating passive income sources is the next logical step for me to take.
I have a very ambitious year set for me in 2017, but with solid effort and persistence I am confident that I'll be able to accomplish all of my goals, and then some!

U-Kiss Soohyun Doppelganger Is Boom?
Idol group U-Kiss member, Soohyun, is garnering attention for being Boom's look a like. The singer uploaded a picture with Boom on his Twitter with the caption: "Everyone this is my brother. Boom hyung (older brother) is really handsome. Hehe I love you hyung" on January 7.
In the picture, Soohyun and Boom have their faces put side to side while smiling widely. Their dark eyebrows, dimples, round noses, and slight double eyelids are very similar.
Netizens and fans who saw the picture reacted with diverse responses: "Their faces really look similar," "Is Boom your secret brother?" and "They would be twins if they had the same hairstyles."
U-Kiss is currently active in Japan with the remake song "Lifetime" and planning to have their comeback performance in April.

RosaryChews are rosaries safe for babies to chew. They are soft and soothing to teething gums.
Rosaries are hand made with beads that are made of Food Grade Silicone and are bpa free and lead free.
I came up with the idea when my 3 month old wanted to play with and chew on my rosary while i was praying. I decided he needed one he could play with and chew on to his hearts content, and so RosaryChews were born.
Different colors available.
Custom colors are available.
Decade circumference: 6 inches
Drop: 8 inches
RosaryChews are not a toy and should be used under direct supervision.

New information and images are added on a regular basis. If you would like to be notified of major revisions to these pages please send me email and I will post you an announcement of these changes as they occur. (This is the third major incarnation of the Chris Marker WWW.)
The bottom of each page has a general directory to the major pages for this site (and of course you can use the standard navigate options available in your WWW browser).
In addition there are some images from Marker's films available for viewing and downloading.
Please note that these pages are a part of my PhD thesis at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), and my teaching position at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Both institutions regard WWW publication as a mode of scholarly publication. Free use of this site is encouraged but standard citation practices are expected where applicable.
Finally, some of the portrait stills I have 'borrowed' from Microsoft's Cinemania. I regard this as a normal part of scholarly work, where in today's environment it extends to not only the judicious (and credited) use of text but must be able to encompass images and sound. It is hoped that these portraits will be replaced with images from particular films or other sources, if for no other reason than the Cinemania portraits are, well, stuffy.
