Rapper Pras Michel's ongoing child support battle has reportedly cost him the chance to speak at the United Nations General Assembly next month (Sep14).
The Ghetto Superstar (That Is What You Are) hitmaker had applied to address top global government officials at the U.N.'s New York headquarters to discuss issues like poverty in his native Haiti and renewable energy in the U.S., but according to editors at the New York Daily News, his nasty legal battle with his ex-girlfriend Angela Severiano has stained his reputation.
A source tells the publication, "He's in the political arena and is really taking a hit... They (U.N. representatives) pulled him from the pool (of possible speakers) because they obviously can't be associated with press like this."
The former Fugees star, who has previously appeared at the U.N. Headquarters, is due back in court on Monday (11Aug14) as his lawyers work to resolve his fall-out with Severiano, who is seeking a raise in her child support payments to care for their four-year-old son Landon.
Michel, 41, previously hit headlines in June (14) after skipping a Manhattan court hearing to attend the soccer World Cup in Brazil.

Manchester United's owners are to sell off 10 per cent of the club – raising up to £210m.
But fears emerged last night that up to half of that cash would NOT be used to pay down the massive debts of more than £400m.
A prospectus submitted to the New York Stock Exchange show that the club itself plans to issue 8,333,334 'class A' shares, worth up to £105m.
The document says United will 'use all of our net proceedings from this offering to reduce our indebtedness'.
But it adds that a further 8,333,333 shares will be sold by the 'selling shareholder' – and NONE of those proceeds will go directly to Manchester United.
That raised fears that the Glazer family, who own the club, intended to keep a large slice of the proceeds of the flotation.
If so, fans will react with fury after it was previously suggested all the cash would be used to pay down the debt.
The prospectus was issued late last night as the Glazers confirmed a notice of intent to press ahead with the sale of the shares.
A spokesman for the club said: "Manchester United is offering 8,333,334 class A ordinary shares and the selling shareholder is offering 8,333,333 cass A ordinary shares.
"The underwriters have an option to purchase up to an additional 2,500,000 class A ordinary shares from the selling shareholder.
"The Class A ordinary shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will trade under the symbol MANU."
The news came on the day United confirmed a massive new shirt sponsorship deal with US car giant Chevrolet, which takes effect from 2014.
The prospectus reveals that total club revenues in the year to June 30 are expected to be down by as much as 5 per cent, at £315m-£320m.
Much of that is due to a reduction of as much as £15.2m in broadcasting income in the light of United's early exit from the Champions League.
But commercial revenues are UP by 13pc to £117m thanks to new sponsorship deals and a north American promotional tour.
Operating expenses are up by 4pc-5pc, to £283m-£286m as a result of increased wages.
Profit for the year is estimated to be between £21m-£23m.
The documents show that a net £50m was spent on players in the year to June 2012 – and a total of £437m of borrowings remain outstanding.
They also reveal that the company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 30.
The prospectus said that a survey paid for by the club found it had 659m 'followers' worldwide. 'Followers' were defined as people who, unprompted, identified United as their favourite football team, or a team they enjoyed watching or reading about.
It also outlined the club's future commercial strategy – including a 'regional sponsorship model' across the world and an expanded MUTV.
A spokesman for the Manchester United Supporters Trust described the news as a 'slap in the face', adding: "Supporters are going to be very angry about this.
"There is now no doubt that this is bad for Manchester United supporters, Manchester United FC and any investors gullible enough to pay the inflated price they've attached to inferior shares."
Glazers set to raise £210m with 10 per cent sale of Manchester United
Manchester United's owners are to sell off 10pc of the club – raising up to £210m.

Building the infrastructure for an African Internet
Two new developments could lay the foundation for Africa coming more fully online and consuming, producing, and engaging with the global internet.
First, the South Africa Node points out the launch of the second East African Submarine System (EASSy) cable: "The 10 000 km EASSy (East African Submarine System) cable lands in South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, the Comores, Tanzania, Kenya, Somaliland, Djibouti and Sudan. The commercial launch of the EASSy cable follows the launch of the Seacom cable in July 2009 and Telkom's SAT-3 cable. EASSy is the highest capacity system serving sub-Saharan Africa and is the first to deliver direct connectivity between east Africa and Europe / North America. The cable will service the voice, data, video and internet needs of the region...and promises to bring to an end the limited and high cost of international bandwidth in South Africa.
Second, early signs of DotAfrica, an internet namespace for Africa could "contribute to the development of Internet on the African continent and proposes to re-invest proceeds into the social and technological advancement initiatives within the community. The AU Ministers are expected to mandate the African Union, in August 2010, to implement DotAfrica on behalf of the Member States in cooperation and partnerships with relevant stakeholders and institutions, including the preparation and the submission of the DotAfrica application to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).
The South Africa Node highlights that these developments could induce social, technological, and economic change:
"The effective application of the DotAfrica namespace will be dependent on the successful take-up of the new bandwidth created by the undersea cables. Hopefully this new infrastructure will assist Sub-Saharan Africa to speed up its technology-induced change, accelerate the region's socio-economic development, stimulate competition and develop its knowledge economies."

Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Korkámur has pretty much cornered the market in his native country with a wide variety of films he directed and produced, acclaimed films like 101 Reyjavik, Jar City and his most recent film The Deep (no relation to the 70s movie based on the Peter Benchley novel). In recent years, hes also started to get noticed in Hollywood, having a huge hit with Mark Wahlberg and 2012s Contraband, itself based on an Icelandic crime thriller.
Now he has 2 Guns, a high stakes crime comedy that pairs two of Hollywoods biggest stars, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, which is loosely based on a Boom! Studios graphic novel by Steven Grant. Denzel plays DEA agent Bobby Trench who has been working undercover with U.S. Naval intelligence officer Marcus "Stig" Stigman (Wahlberg) to try to take down a narcotics ring, neither of them knowing the others true identity. That is, until they rob a bank of $43 million presumably belonging to the Mexican cartel and have numerous people and agencies after them, forcing them to work together to fix the situation.
It's a marked step forward for the director, not just from Contraband but also his Icelandic work, showing that he can do a lighter, poppier Hollywood movie with enough humor and action and explosions to appease American audiences but still offering the type of intricate plotting that keeps you guessing every step of the way.
ComingSoon.net got on the phone with Kormákur over the weekend and for some reason, we thought it would be fun to start the interview with a joke about the schizophrenic nature of Kormákurs filmography; that joke completely tanked and didnt get the laugh we expected. Fortunately, the rest of the interview picked up as we got into other topics like his upcoming film Everest, but ouch, not a good way to start an interview with the director who is clearly doing some of his best work right now.
ComingSoon.net: I wanted to start by asking if you've ever met the Icelandic filmmaker with your name who made "Jar City" and "The Deep" because hed be interested to meet the director who would make an action-comedy like "Two Guns." This seems so different from what youve done before.
Baltasar Kormákur: Yeah, well, maybe not from the first one if you'd seen it "101 Reykjavik," that was a lighter one, but
CS: You obviously had just worked with Mark on "Contraband" so had you been looking for something to do together after that or was this something Mark already had on his plate you were interested in? How did it come about that you directed this?
Kormákur: Well, Mark asked me to check it out as we were doing post on "Contraband" and I kind of liked the idea of doing something lighter and fun and this kind of allows for humor and playfulness and I always been a fan of those kinds movies that don't take themselves too seriously. I thought it's a good opportunity and then the ball started rolling and then we kind of got into it. I think it went faster than we expected.
CS: It's also based on a graphic novel, but by the time you got involved had it already moved past that and written as a screenplay as its own movie?
Kormákur: Yeah, in a way, when I got to it, but I did look at the graphic novel after I was approached and offered to do this and I brought some elements back into the screenplay which I thought were good. I'm used to doing that anyway. When I write and develop things myself, I might work for a while on a script from a book and then I go back and read the book and go back into it to see if I lost something, is there something there? There's always a reason you decide to adapt something–there's something in the material–it means there are some elements or a mood or something you want to get to.
CS: At what point did Denzel come on board to play the other role?
Kormákur: That was always the next thing to do – who is going to be the other guy and that was always a biggie. How do we create the right screen couple? I was very excited about getting Denzel to do this and it was always interesting to me when you saw Robert De Niro do "Midnight Run" and you see a really serious actor do something lighter, it has so much energy in that and that's why I was really interested in doing it with Denzel. He liked it and got on board and it was about casting the right people around them and finding the tone. I didn't want to go too comic. I wanted to keep it grounded, but at the same time, playful.
CS: "Midnight Run" is a great in-point for a buddy comedy so was that brought up a lot while developing or shooting the movie?
Kormákur: Yeah, these kinds of movies of course we discussed but tonally, and they go from being serious and dramatic into lightness and almost goofy at moments, which just allows the audience to have fun, and we also looked at the Peckingpah stuff which is great, but for me "Out of Sight" is another one, the kind of movies that allow themselves to be movies, if that makes any sense.
CS: I'm actually talking to David Gordon Green tomorrow and he's been doing a lot of studio comedies lately, but he just went back to making smaller and serious, which is in fact adapted from an Icelandic film, so it's always interesting to me when directors choose to make such departures from their previous work.
Kormákur: Yeah, but for me, one day I'm in a good mood and I tell a funny joke and the day after I'm more serious and I might tell somebody a serious story so it's that, and I think I don't necessarily want to repeat myself all over again.
CS: It's an interesting transition because as an actor and filmmaker you've cornered the movie market in Iceland and are the premiere filmmaker there, but this movie really is the dream Hollywood movie for a director because it's two big name actors and a very easy movie to sell. It has a great trailer, so how has been making that transition from how you worked in Iceland to going through the Hollywood system where a movie will sell based on the two actors.
Kormákur: For me, it's very different with the distribution and all that. Of course, for me, I'm not a big part of that. Im behind making the film and delivering the product and for me that's not as different as you might think. It's the same job at the end of the day. There's a little more at risk and more money involved and sometimes more egos, but at the end of the day, it's telling a story with this medium and it's pretty much the same. I try to keep it real by the way. You can get lost with "What am I doing with these people?" I was in Iceland yesterday shooting a small film but at the end of the day, it's a job. You do your work and you go home to your family. I don't want to get lost in the Hollywood thing.
CS: That's very cool. You're always developing a lot of interesting things that you're producing. I was curious about balancing those two things, developing things for yourself to direct and doing jobs as a paid director? What's the balance of going back and forth?
Kormákur: I never wanted to just move out there and become a part of it. If I can do this and still build on what I'm doing and connect the two things at some point, it's a dream to me. I just keep on doing what I do. I went home to shoot "The Deep" and then I came back to do "2 Guns" and next thing I'm doing is "Everest" and that will be shot in Nepal and partly in Italy and partly in Iceland, so it's more like expanding your experience and the ground you're working instead of leaving something behind, so you build on what you've done. I've been producing movies for other directors and TV stars and all kinds of stuff back home ,so I'm trying to also my use my opportunity to bring more opportunities to my Icelandic fellows.
CS: That's one of the great things about the film industry you've created there, beause I love the country and the films that have come out of there. It's a small market, but the fact that you could make these great movies that are now being remade in Hollywood as big hits is a great example of how the movie are being discovered here after the fact.
Kormákur: Oh, absolutely.
CS: Speaking of which, I know that there's interest in remaking "Jar City," which you directed a couple years back, so are you personally involved with that one at all, doing an English language version of that?
Kormákur: I'm involved with it as a producer, but I didn't want to direct it. I didn't feel there was enough to make the same movie again. It just doesn't appeal to me, but as a producer, I'm fine with it. I have no problems with remakes and I think it's an interesting I mean coming from the theater, we've been remaking "Hamlet" for a hundred years so it's no problem to me at all. A good story can be told in many different ways in different places, I just think it's interesting. For me, the source material can come from anywhere. It can be a poem, it can be a dream, it can be a movie, as long as the end part of it is interesting, that's what it's about for me.
CS: Your "Everest" movie sounds interesting, I was just reading about that, so how far along are you in developing and writing it? I know there's a lot of research and talking to people about it.
Kormákur: Absolutely. Ive been working on it for the last two years and developing the script and it's gone through Italian Parliament two days ago because I got in there, because we plan to start shooting in October, so that's how it's looking. That's closer to "The Deep" but on a huge scale so I mix it up.
CS: What happened to Christian Bale's involvement with that?
Kormákur: Christian Bale? No, that was just for a moment, but now I can say because it's been in the media that we've been talking to Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes and Jake Gyllenhaal. I want to make it more of an ensemble. Of course, their stars, Josh Brolin and Jake, but more as an ensemble rather than based on one star.
CS: That sounds great. So if you want to start shooting in October, at what point do they need to go in and start training that's necessary for a mountain climbing movie?
Kormákur: Yeah, pretty soon. Its a greenlight, it's kind of half green now but next week hopefully its on, it's just funding and stuff like that, so everyone is already getting to it, it's about to happen.
CS: Are you going to shoot any of that in Iceland as well, because obviously you have mountains there.
Kormákur: I'm hoping to be able to shoot the studio stuff in Iceland and some of the glacier work, the ice, it'll be interesting to see if we can do that in Iceland, but the high mountain stuff will definitely be shot in Italy and of course, we'll go up on Everest and see a lot of stuff there, too. I can't do a 70 day shoot on Everest; I believe we'll lose half of the crew.
CS: Have you already been there location scouting yet? Or is that something in the future?
Kormákur: No, I haven't been there yet, but I'm going there in September, because it is what it is, so we can take one trip to two places. I mean, we know which way we're going, so basically we just have to go that way and choose what is the best spot. I'll start doing that just before I start shooting.
CS: That sounds really exciting. So "Everest" is your main focus right now, but having directed two movies in Hollywood now between "Contraband" and this one, both which are very different, do you feel you want to continue to go in that direction when you have new ideas? Or do you want to keep mixing it up?
Kormákur: I also have a big Viking project that I really want to shoot in Iceland, but I really have to do that on a Hollywood budget to create that world. Its hard to talk too much about the future, but I definitely want to develop and bring more and more of my stuff into the light.
CS: Its been great that Hollywoods been shooting more in Iceland because there have been more productions brought there like "Prometheus" and "Thor: The Dark World."
Kormákur: Yes, absolutely, and it's a great place to shoot.
CS: Great talking to you. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm seeing it Tuesday. I've watched the trailer over and over about five times 'cause it's such a fun trailer and it makes it look like such a fun movie.
Kormákur: It is, and I really feel that the screenings have been going great and people have been responding to it, so yeah I'm excited.
2 Guns opens exclusively in 2D theaters nationwide. Do you really need more than 2D with those two guys and their two guns?

Even though the PS3 Slim is cheaper to manufacture Sony also cut prices by $100 at its launch for the console. The good news is that it is only losing approximately 6 cents for every dollar, which is lower than when the original console launched. Sony cut features and used new process technology to make the PS3 Slim cheaper to produce, however the cuts and advancement in technology have not been enough to sell the PS3 at a profit. It seems the inclusion of Blu-ray was an expensive gamble and one that has not paid off. Share On

Like the movie industry, summer is also when comics like to roll out their "summer blockbuster titles". However, with time devoted to hitting up the beach, riding roller coasters and such, who has the time to read all of these comic book events? I apparently do! So here to make it easier on you, is my rundown of some of summer's "big events" (Fair warning it's 60% Marvel stuff…and also extremely geeky):

Deputy Minority Leader and Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros filed today the Students' Rights and Welfare (STRAW) Bill , a proposed measure that would hopefully reinvigorate a movement that has always been crucial to Philippine democracy. "From Rizal to Lean Alejandro, the student movement has played an important role in nation-building and democracy. The passion and imagination of students have always fueled struggles for equality and justice, and ironically, the State has been remiss in protecting and promoting their rights and welfare," Rep. Hontiveros said.
Several student leaders from various colleges and universities in NCR accompanied Rep. Hontiveros for the filing of the bill, which essentially affirms the rights and freedoms accorded to students by the Constitution and other international human rights agreements. "Unfortunately, these constitutional guarantees and international human rights protection have not yet found expression in our laws and in the government's programs. The STRAW bill hopes to correct this anomaly by advancing students' rights and welfare through concrete mechanisms and penalties and through the strengthening of our education agencies," Rep. Hontiveros said.
Student leaders welcomed the filing of the measure. "Violations of students' rights and welfare remain rampant, and this is the time for Congress to do its duty to act on a problem that has long been neglected by the government and our legislators," according to Jeff Crisostomo, Chairperson of Akbayan Youth - UP Diliman and a Councilor of the UP Diliman University Student Council.
The bill covers a wide range of protection for students' rights and welfare, including innovative mechanisms that address various issues. "For instance, the bill introduces minimum standards on consultation of students and parents for tuition and school fee increases. Furthermore, it expands the regulatory powers of CHED, Dep Ed, and TESDA to ensure that in private and public schools and universities, the rights and welfare of students are protected," Rep. Hontiveros said.
Meanwhile, Bianca Lapuz of the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines (SCAP) said that the penalties imposed under the bill would guarantee that school authorities would respect students' rights and welfare. "School administrators and also students who will violate to the provisions of this Bill will be accordingly sanctioned to make sure that every student would be able to enjoy and exercise the rights and freedoms accorded to him or her by the Constitution," Lapuz said.
The bill likewise recognizes that even students may be penalized for violating students' rights and welfare. "Under the bill, student organizations that impose stiff membership fees or unnecessary membership requirements like hazing may be penalized," Rep. Hontiveros said.
"We urge Congress to act on the bill with due haste. After failing to approve the Magna Carta for Students for several years, Congress has the obligation to pass the STRAW bill immediately," Crisostomo and Lapuz added, saying that student councils worked closely with Akbayan for the crafting of the bill. ●

Application tips
The Process
When you apply for a role with us, you'll go through a structured process, which will vary depending on what programme you're applying to. As you'd expect, your first step is to complete the online application form and submit your CV. But what happens then? Here we've put together a short guide detailing exactly how each process works – plus a few tips on how to prepare for each one.
How to make a great application
The most important thing? Be yourself. You should be professional but remember to let your personality come through whenever you're talking to us; try and be as relaxed and comfortable as possible. This is your chance to find out about us and our chance to find out about you.
The Sky Behaviours
These core behaviours unite us and describe how we work together. Throughout the selection process, we'll be looking for evidence of how you demonstrate each of them, so study them carefully.
Clear Direction – Everyone at Sky is here to make a difference. We know what we're doing, and why we're doing it, what success looks like, and we take action to get there.
Change & Improvement – Using our imagination and creativity, we exceed expectations where it matters most. We always look for better ways of doing things and run with the changes this brings.
Feedback & Development – Our commitment to make Sky better is driven by constantly improving ourselves. Learning something new is an essential way of improving what we do.
Collaboration & Teamwork – Together we have a wealth of experience and ideas. When we work together, seeking and sharing information, we achieve more.
Empowerment – To make Sky a great place to work, we trust each other to do our very best. We encourage people to push their boundaries every day.
Do the Right Thing – We act with integrity and have the courage to do what we believe is right. We consult with others and consider the impact of our decisions.
Writing your application
Your answers to the questions on the application are critical in order to be shortlisted for the next stage. We don't use your CV to shortlist your suitability. Be clear on why you want to join Sky and specifically the role you're applying for. Don't rush – we want to see that you've done your research, and really understand Sky. We'll also ask you some questions relating to the Sky Behaviours, so try to think of some good examples to help us understand more about you.
Make your application stand out – there's a limited word count, so you'll need to focus on your own impact, not the achievements of a group. And make full use of the word count wherever you can to show off your motivation.
As soon as you send us your application, you'll receive an automatic acknowledgement. Don't worry if you don't hear anything for a while after that, as the process can take up to a few months. We promise we'll be in touch as soon as possible after weighing up each application.
Telephone Interview
If you're successful, you will be invited to talk to a member of the team in a telephone interview. Double-check you've given us the right phone number and you're ready for our call. You'll need your application, CV, any questions and a notepad and pen to jot things down. Listen carefully to your interviewer, but don't be afraid to ask for clarification. Be confident. If there's quiet on the other end of the line, don't worry. The interviewer is just making notes.
Remember, we've already seen your application and decided that we're interested, but your interviewer is unlikely to have seen it. You'll now be speaking to someone in your chosen business area from Sky, so this is your chance to build on that positive start. We're looking for someone who demonstrates a passion for the individual programme they're applying for, so make sure you do lots of research. We'll be looking to hear examples from different areas of your life, both at work and outside, where you demonstrated problem-solving skills.
The Assessment Centre
After your interview, we'll be in touch to let you know if we'd like you to come to our offices and take part in an assessment centre. Don't feel daunted – it's your chance to see if you'd like to work here. Just remember to be yourself. Come smart but comfortable – we don't expect you to wear a suit, but think twice about wearing shorts, flip-flops, hoodies or trainers.
The format of your day with us will vary, depending on what you've applied for. But don't worry, we'll let you know what you need to prepare in plenty of time. The day could include:
Group discussion exercise: We want to see how you interact with others and if you perform well in a team. This means that you'll need to make sure you contribute – whether you can be proactive without being domineering and if you can listen as well as contribute. Most of all, we want to see you shine and be yourself.
Individual interview: This will be in a similar format to the telephone interview, so you may find the STAR guidance above useful.
Programme/business specific exercise: This is your chance to show us not only your passion for Sky and your chosen business area, but also what you can bring to Sky. You'll be provided with all the information you need to complete this task on the day.
To see all this in action and to get some top tips, check out our Assessment Centre video here.
If you come to a Sky assessment centre, we'll always give you feedback on your performance and let you know when you can expect to hear back.
Any other questions? You can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

World's Most Popular Time-Management Game Series Introduces New Casual Game
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - February 26, 2016) - RealNetworks' GameHouse division, one of the world's largest developers, publishers and distributors of casual games, is launching Delicious -- Emily's Cook & Go, a new time-management game in the popular casual game series, Delicious. This special edition game is to celebrate the series' 10th anniversary and 20 million mobile downloads worldwide.
How it started
The first edition in the now top-ranked series was released in 2006. It focused on challenging time-management gameplay: serving a variety of food in numerous types of restaurants.

The series evolved into a storyline based game that supersedes any casual game category and attracts millions of players globally.
Anniversary edition fulfills fans' desire for endless gameplay
"I'm working my way through Delicious games slowly, so I can make it last as long as possible!" (Facebook fan, California, US)
This special edition of Delicious
is again all about serving food. Together with Emily, players travel to Hawaii, Holland, Brazil and many other locations. It's designed for players to master their time management skills and to enjoy endless gameplay on the go.
Michel Maas, creative director of Delicious, says, "The story saga will definitely continue in following games, but with this special edition we have the chance to surprise our fans with something unique. With Delicious -- Emily's Cook & Go
we're going back to basics of time-management, only with today's quality and settings in locations throughout the world."

Instead my commentary has taken the form of occasional paragraphs on particular documents or news items. I try to keep comment clearly labelled as such and separated from fact, like a good journalist.
Articles containing some of my commentary are now included in the "viewpoint: Franck" feed . For my long articles only, use the Franck articles archive feed .

Pantone Mugs and Plates
As someone who understands the need to find just the right color, I find both the Pantone Palettes Dinnerware and Pantone Mugs exceptionally fabulous. My personal favorite, Pantone 021C is a vibrant orange that just screams good morning! If orange isn't your thing, then perhaps a muted cup and saucer in four shades of burnt ochre? Either way, just make sure you get the right color to match your Pantone cell phone!
Pantone mugs are currently only available in the EU and are £8 each. The Pantone Palettes sets begin at $5.95 for tote bags and end at $14.95 for large cup and saucer sets. However if you act fast, they're on sale in several places. I really don't need another tote bag, but think of how cute it would be full of fresh farmer's market veggies!

"Our dream is to let anyone easily create great music wherever they are, and being on iOS is instrumental to that goal," said Marshall Seese, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mowgli.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 03, 2013
MashupDJ, the first service to enable instant music mashup creation, launched today on iOS. Created by Mowgli, the entertainment technology company behind Songster, MashupDJ allows users to instantly create mashups on an iPad or via the Web with two songs in just one click. So anyone, regardless of skill level or creativity, can create professional quality music.
Users can currently remix and mash up songs from an eclectic array of popular artists including Barenaked Ladies, Blue Oyster Cult, Datsik, David Lee Roth, New Kids on the Block, Owl City, Pantera, Passion Pit, The Ramones, RJD2, Spin Doctors, The Temptations, Theophilus London, Wallpaper., and Young Dro.

Through partnerships with Motown, MTV, SonyATV, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group, MashupDJ's song library will be updated weekly.

There are several different holidays throughout the year, which are celebrated in a variety of ways.
The holiday represents different things to different people cause of religion, culture, or family traditions. Although some people may not be able to be around family the remembrance does not go unnoticed. Most everyone has a favorite holiday that inspires fond memories, which may be happy or sad.
Abigail's favorite holiday is 4th of July. She enjoys the fireworks displays that are put on by various merchants or individuals. For example, as a child she remembers a very well to do family putting on a huge fireworks display every 4th of July for the community. As a child she liked the thrill and anticipation that the next rocket provide as it was launched into the air. For instance, the bright, beautiful colors and the loud cannon like booms bring squeals of delight and pleasure from the crowd. Although she has seen several fireworks displays, her childhood memories are the greatest ones she has ever experienced.
Sad as it may be Memorial Day is Mark's favored one. While some people don't realize the impact of this mournful day he does with deep sadness. He recalls with sorrow the day his mother was notified his father had been killed in action during the Vietnam War. He honors this day with great pride. For instance, each year he participates in the Memorial Day parade and visits the Vietnam Wall in dedication to his father and those who perished along with him. Although painful this day reminds him what his father gave in the name of freedom.
EID is the most pleasurable holiday for me. This holiday renews a fond memory of my childhood. For example, the smell of a fresh cut tree reminds me of the times my father and me went to find a tree for the Christmas season. The family gathering to share in the holiday meal was by far the best.

Division III Championship Post-Game Press Conference
May 24, 2009
Cortland Quotes
Senior Goalie Matt Hipenbecker
On facing close shots
We work on it everyday in practice. Coach [Matt] O'Connell, who warms me up everyday, always changes the angles of shots; comes around goal line extended, fakes high shoots high, fakes high shoots low. Something he's been telling me lately is 'stay high, these kids like to shoot high.' When they came around, I just matched stick on stick and made the save.
On Cortland's defense in the second quarter
I think the thing that was lacking in the first quarter with our defense was communication. That's been a big of emphasis this whole year. When I was in the cage, I just didn't hear any talk. Usually when I'm in goal I hear everybody; what everybody's going to do, so everyone else knows what they're going to do. Second quarter, Coach told us that's what we were missing. We stepped it up, we started talking and causing turnovers. When you know when the first, second, third slide is going to be you can go push out and be aggressive. I think communication is what led to our defense stepping up.
Junior Midfielder Brandon Misiaszek, Most Outstanding Player
On confidence gained by not being defended by the long pole
I was going hard all game. Then they didn't switch the pole to me and I felt like I could take the shorty and I did.
On his up-and-down season
It was a little up and down. There were periods of time where I would take dodges and I wouldn't go as hard. I'd drift dodge a little bit. Coach would get on me and tell me to go hard. And I finally listened to him.
Head Coach Steve Beville
Opening Statement
"Hats off to Head Coach Janczyk and Gettysburg for the season they had and the run that they went on at the end of the year and we are very proud and happy to have played such a great team and to have come out on top."
On Brandon Misiaszek play in the championship game:
"He played outstanding. There's a reason why he was selected as the most outstanding player of the game today because his performance was just that. It's been like that all year with us: You pick your poison, they put a pole on (Joey) Morgan, they bumped up to DeLuca a couple of times and I think Brandon said 'if you're not going to pole me I'll tear into you' and he did just that having the game of his career."
On stopping the Gettysburg offense in the second and third:
"We bumped a pole on top, G offense was generated by their Middies so we bumped up (Luke) Lemon to (Tom) O'Donnell or Danno Lynch and I think that took them out of their rhythm. It certainly helps that Matt Hipenbecker had an outstanding game today, he held his pipe and made it very very tough for them to score too so I think goalie was a huge part of us stopping them for two quarters."
On Brandon Misiaszek's season:
"It's hard for me to do that because I've been with him for three years and I've watched him grow and progress as a man and as a player. This year Brandon had a few ups and downs but overall he was very consistent leader for us on and off the field and that's what I was really happy to see… Being a positive influence to the younger guys all year round. He's had some big games this year and he saved his biggest one for today and he was unstoppable. As long as he did what he did in the national championship game I guess I don't care what happens in the 19 other games this season."
On getting to the national championship this season:
"We're very fortunate to have a lot of things that we have at Cortland, so as long we've got things that we got, we're always going to have a shot and as long as we play as a team. This team played more like a team than other team I've coached in my 25 years."
Gettysburg Quotes
Senior Goalie Zach Furshman
On the play of Cortland State goalie Matt Hipenbecker:
"He played really well today. We thought that if we shot within the pipes or right on the pipes we were going to get some good shots and score but he played well. He was very energetic in goal and even after he made a save, we had an opportunity here and there and he would make another save. He was really good today."
Senior Attack Zach Pucci
On his senior season:
"The season started off pretty slow. We weren't worried at the beginning of the season, we were just wondering what was going on. Every game we just figured out the kinks and got better and better from then on. It came up to today where I still think we played pretty well. Sometimes the shots didn't go our way but it was a long season, we had a nice long run and it could have happened today but it wasn't our day."
Head Coach Hank Janczyk
Opening Statement:
"I'm really proud of my team. It was looking pretty grim for us after that third period. I thought we played a real tough fourth period. I thought we fought our way into some really good shots. I think their goalie made some great saves. I give Cortland a lot of credit. We had to make some pretty good adjustments at halftime to clear the ball, and I think our kids did a much better job. In the last eight or nine minutes, we really had some great opportunities. We didn't hit, and they hit in the third period, and that seems to be the story of the game.
On why they weren't able to score after the first period until the fourth:
"I think a couple of things happened. I think they rode pretty well, and we had to work real hard to clear the ball. So we worked so hard to clear the ball, we finally got it in, and we lost a little poise. It's interesting when you have to work that hard. You're finally beating the 20 seconds, and you're finally beating the 10. They did a great job riding us, and I think that affected us in that second period a little bit. The other thing is they held the ball a long time. Not held it. They respected the ball, so when they got it, they would have runs of two minutes. Sometimes when that happens, when you get it back, you get a little itchy. I thought we lost a little composure then. We took an okay shot instead of pushing the ball for the great shot. I think those are the two things that were really important.
On if he thought he needed to move the pole against Cortland's Brandon Misiaszek:
"We can be honest with you. He had two shots that were pretty good. His game really surprised us, to be honest with you. We thought that he was the third guy on that line. I probably still do, even though he had five goals today. We have a pretty good pole. He did a great job and I think one of the premiere midfielders in the country. I still think we would probably still do the same for sure. I think the kid came up big a few times."

The annual drill completed in February by the Asia Pacific Computer Emergency Response Team to test the response capability of computer security incident response teams in the region has included the cooperation of the Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation - Computer Emergency Response Team for the first time, according to the government security agency CyberSecurity Malaysia.

One such Mexican is Ibeth Zamora Silva (19-5, 8) who has a record befitting of a fringe contender on paper though in reality she is one of the truly elite Light Flyweights and a very deserving WBC champion at 108lbs.
The reason Zamora Silva has such an mediocre looking record is because she has fought everyone of note in and around her division. Going through her 24 fight record resembles going through a who's who of who and features fighters such as Esmeralda Moreno, Jessica Chavez, Anabel Ortiz, Yesiva Yolanda Bopp, Etsuko Tada, Irma Garcia, Naoko Shibata and Ava Knight.
The fact Zamora Silva has lost just 5 times is a testament to her skill and not many fighters would have managed to beat half the fighters she has beaten as she's grown in to one of the best fighters in her division.
This coming Saturday sees Thailand's Hongfah Tor Buamas (17-5, 2) attempting to dethrone the Mexican great and claim one of the biggest upsets of the year.
Unfortunate for Hongfah she has the deck well and truly stacked against her. Firstly she will have to go over to Mexico for the fight, a country she has fought in once, losing to Ava Knight via 10th round TKO, secondly she lacks power and thirdly she really does have the track record of proven skills needed to defeat a fighter like Zamora Silver.
Aged 20 Hongfah is already a ring veteran with 22 fights to her name though unfortunately she has been unable to really score a notable victory. She has mixed in good company fighting not just Ava Knight but also Kanittha Kokietgym though both have beaten Hongfah who has been shown to be shy of world level though she is very good as a domestic fighter.
Against a fighter like Zamora Silva you need to be genuine world class, strong, tough and with either lights out power or an amazing work rate. Whilst Hongfah is tough she lacks the skill, power and energy to stand any chance of a victory here sadly. We imagine she'll be game through out though never really capable of putting a dent in the very talented Mexican youngster.

Collect peanut butter for your local food bank.
Powered by
What You Did
1,923 Members Participated
5,517 food items collected
This campaign is over! In case you missed it, here's what happened:
In 2014, 48.1 million people lived in households without enough food to eat. In fact, more and more people EVERY DAY are relying on food banks and pantries. These programs need individual donations of food to supply meals.
That's why our members collected thousands of jars of peanut butter to donate to local food bank. Since most community food drives are run during the holiday season, it's important to make sure that food banks are getting donations in off-peak seasons like the fall — that's why their donations NOW make all the difference!
Congrats to…

"This campaign was important to me because I wanted to show that kids can make a difference in the community. And when we come together we can accomplish great things like helping kids less fortunate."

PARIS -- French President Francois Mitterrand said yesterday that France would be willing to support a United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing the use of military force against Iraq, but he warned that it would not automatically support a war.
Speaking at a news conference after the closing of the 34-nation Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, Mr. Mitterrand said that he had spoken with President Bush about the Persian Gulf crisis over dinner at the Elysee Palace Sunday.
"Mr. Bush said to me, 'Do you think one should adopt a new resolution which would authorize possibly, if required, the use of force?' And my answer was, 'Yes,' " he said.

Rapper Juicy J was forced to scrap a date in San Francisco, California on Saturday (23May15) following a health emergency.
The Oscar-winning Three 6 Mafia co-founder, real name Jordan Michael Houston, was preparing for the gig when he fell ill and was admitted to the city's Saint Francis Memorial Hospital.
He kept fans updated on his progress on social media, writing, "I wanna apologize to my fans in San Fran I had to rush to the hospital I'm having shortness of breath I love you all pray for me..." and, "The Dr said I'm Exhausted I haven't been getting enough rest but I'll be ok San Fran my Apologies i will make it up."
The hip-hop star also posted a photograph of himself lying in a hospital bed, and added, "I wanna say thank you to everyone that took care me at the hospital."
Juicy J returned to Twitter on Sunday (24May15) just hours before a planned gig in Boise, Idaho, to assure fans he's out of hospital and ready to head back to the stage.
He wrote, "I'm feeling a lot better, just need to take it easy. The show must go on... Thank you to everyone that checked on me I'm doing great!!!"
The rapper also revealed he'll be debuting a brand new track that he recorded on his tour bus that same day.
Juicy J had a hospital stay earlier this month (May15), when he underwent surgery on his ankle.

Washington, DC - June 27, 2016 – A new study recently published in JAMA Ophthalmology and attributed to Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler proves the need for aftermarket sun protection, such as professionally installed window film, in automotive side-windows. The research notes that while factory-installed automotive windshields may block up to 96 percent of UV-A rays from entering the vehicle, side-windows may block as little as 44 percent. The study also links these findings to increased rates of cataract in left eyes and left-sided facial skin cancer.
"The recent study conducted by Dr. Boxer Wachler reaffirms what the International Window Film Association (IWFA) has known for years," said Darrell Smith, Executive Director of the IWFA. "53 percent of skin cancers occur on the left side of the body – with an even greater risk to those who drive professionally. Consumers should take preventative actions like professionally installed window film to protect themselves from harmful exposure to the sun through glass."
The Problem:
The study claims that the level of side-window UV-A protection is lower and highly variable, especially in contrast to the protection provided by windshields. This demonstrates an ongoing danger to the left side of the face and body. Dr. Wachler explains this "may in part explain the reported increased rates of cataract in left eyes and left-sided facial skin cancer." While the report urges automakers to consider increasing sun protection in side-windows, little instruction is given in terms of how consumers can better protect themselves in existing vehicles.
The Solution:
Professionally installed window film may block up to 99 percent of UV rays from entering a vehicle. Window film treatments can also be customized to an individual's personal taste or style. Regardless of clarity, color or degree of shading, the protective qualities of window film remain. In fact, The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends professionally installed window film as part of a comprehensive skin care program.
Other benefits of automotive window film include energy efficiency, reduction of fading and cracking of upholstery and other interior materials, and the ability to hold many glass fragments together in the event of a collision or accident.

So sorry that I've been a bit AWOL lately. I blame the holidays........
The same of which has received the blame for my poor eating habits, and lack of exercise.
Yes, those pesky, wonderful, delightful holidays!
We have been busy, and we haven't been doing much by way of crafts, etc.
But one of the biggest hits of our vacation was when LM saw the Tractor next to the parking lot. I've just got to remember how easy to please this little boy is!
Forgive the hiatus, but fear not! There is definitely more fun to come . . . . someday soon!
Happy Holidays!!

This year's rock and pop list is a heady mix of the old (Paul Simon, Lindsey Buckingham) and the new (the Black Keys, Death Cab for Cutie). I thrilled to comebacks (Daryl Hall, Yes) and quiet triumphs (Gregg Rolie, Nick Lowe), and swerved off into a niche inside of a niche with Neal Morse's faith-based prog rock. Then there was the Mekons' kitchen-sink recording, Ancient and Modern, which couldn't have been any more aptly titled.
Click through the titles for expanded reviews …
No. 10—
GREG ROLIE – FIVE DAYS: Gregg Rolie, a founding member of Santana and then Journey, is probably best remembered as this tiny speck playing keyboards in a sold-out arena. That's what made this deeply introspective project, recorded live with just piano and vocals, an unexpected and intimate revelation. Rolie offered a couple of originals, took on the pre-war blues standard "Trouble in Mind," and (in a treat for fans) reexamined two of his most memorable vocals from those seminal rock bands — "Anytime" and "Black Magic Woman." Rather than echoing his earlier successes, though, Rolie worked hard to find new insights within them. That, of course, meant Five Days didn't blaze any new trails, but I don't think that was the aim. Instead, Rolie stopped to examine a few familiar stones along the pathway. And he helped us see something there that we hadn't before.
No. 9—
YES – FLY FROM HERE / JON ANDERSON – SURVIVAL AND OTHER STORIES: I know. It's a cheat. But there was no talking about one without the other this year: An album that was far better than it had any right to be from Yes, and the most consistent release of departed band co-founder Anderson's sometimes confusingly complex solo career. Yes used a polished up multi-part track from the Drama era to regain long-lost momentum after going 10 years between studio projects, and its new lead singer acquitted himself remarkably well. Anderson, meanwhile, collaborated with a variety of sources on the web, while documenting in memorable detail his difficult journey back from life-threatening illness. Taken together, these two albums represented an embarrassment of riches for fans of Yes.
No. 8—
DARYL HALL – LAUGHING DOWN CRYING: Apparently playing live on "Live from Daryl's House" has had an impact on Hall. He performs with a crisp, uncharacteristically loose sound here, in keeping with the friendly, free-form performances which populate that addictively watchable web show — and a world away from the synthesized urban pop that helped make Hall and Oates a signature act of the 1980s. At the same time, Hall retains every bit of the pop-song finesse that gave the duo a truckload of hits back then, and his voice sounds surprisingly resilient after all of these years. A welcome return to form for Hall, who also hadn't put out a solo studio effort in more than a decade.
No. 7—
THE MEKONS – ANCIENT AND MODERN: What better opener than "Warm Summer Sun," a tune that lives up so completely to the album's title? You hear Hank Williams in the instrumentation, and Roger Waters in the vocal. Then "Geeshie" swings the pendulum the other way, sounding like a hootenanny outtake. Only a band like the Mekons could make something like Ancient and Modern, this whipsawing triumph of country contemplation and righteous, guitar-banging indignation, work so completely. After all, that's their story. Originally a noise-loving loose-knit group, by the early 1980s the Mekons eventually coalesced into a backwoods-inflected amalgam, sounding something like Gram Parsons sitting in with the Clash. Still do.
No. 6—
NEAL MORSE – TESTIMONY 2: Former Spock's Beard frontman Neal Morse confronted the triumphs and pain of his tenure and ultimate departure in 2002 from the band. In so doing, Morse ensured that this wasn't simply an epic sequel to his initial solo release; in many ways, its grace and striking honesty make Testimony 2 the better record. As it unfolded, the album became a moving meditation on acceptance, on managing change, on embracing the past even as you move on. And Morse did it without sacrificing anything musically: For all of its underlying messages on faith — a conversion to Christianity precipitated Morse's decision to go solo — 2 remained firmly rooted in the prog-rock tradition, from soaring keyboards to thrilling calculus-equation guitars to classically inspired compositional excursions.

No. 5—
NILS LOFGREN – OLD SCHOOL: You could forgive Lofgren, best known these days as a 27-year member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, for issuing a contemplative record after such a difficult period. And there was some of that here. But, in the wake of losing both E Street saxophonist Clarence Clemons and organist/keyboard player Danny Federici, Lofgren begins Old School embroiled in a cathartic, just-right rage. It was only later that a deeper sense of sorrow began to creep in. As Lofgren made his quietly effective tribute to Ray Charles on "Miss You Ray," it was hard not to think of the recently departed Clemons. That's a broad emotional sweep, but Lofgren made it look easy, crafting a well-conceived journey — not just through grief, and through anger, but also toward acceptance.
No. 4—
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE – CODES AND KEYS: At last, the return of that odd conundrum called Death Cab for Cutie, a band whose spit-take name can't begin to hint at the deep musical complexities tucked away inside. Initial reports had the group, working now with producer Alan Moulder, shifting into more keyboard-driven fare — with front man Ben Gibbard reportedly even likening the new project to Brian Eno's Another Green World. The results, while touched by electronica, didn't stray from their core sound so much as build on it: From "You Are a Tourist," which quickly shucks an initial melancholy in favor of a snappy beat and (even a bigger surprise, really) an insistently hopeful lyric; to the sunny popcraft of "Monday Morning" and "Underneath the Sycamore," this was the sound of a band determined to grow with their history — not past it.
No. 3—
LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM — SEEDS WE SOW: You keep waiting for Lindsey Buckingham, the old rebel, to soften into middle-aged acceptance, to conform. This wasn't that record. Credit Buckingham for never trading true emotion for sentiment. Seeds We Sow was as hard eyed as it is musically ambitious. Makes sense. Buckingham, for all of the things he rejects, for all of the things that piss him off and make him play the guitar in a bloody-fingered rage, was never about nothingness. Buckingham's music, in a move that belied his era, didn't settle for cheap thrills, quick answers — or something so obvious and easy as nihilism. And, lucky for us, it still doesn't.
No. 2—
THE BLACK KEYS – EL CAMINO: This album didn't so much try to follow up 2010's Brothers, their most acclaimed release, as feel around on its outer edges. There was less blues, and more brawn — something that's laid out perfectly on the lead single and opening-track "Lonely Boy." Whereas Brothers — while deftly balancing both the modern rock and Delta styles that have long obsessed the Black Keys — came off like a chest-bumping celebration of summer, El Camino was this angry shove back against winter. Gassed up and ready to roll, this follow up — from the very first — was on a serious tear. Think Brothers, turned up to 11.
No. 1—
PAUL SIMON – SO BEAUTIFUL OR SO WHAT: A career-spanning, sometimes duskily ruminative, quirk-splashed triumph — simultaneously bold in its constructions and timeless in its themes. Simon has, with this long-awaited effort, found a way to combine the subtlety and directness of his early work with the complexity — both musical and emotional — of subsequent exotic sideroads like Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints. Yet the album was more than an interesting interpolation. There was a growing sense of mystery and of forebearance, away from the thrilling din of music. Simon, in his quietest moments, seemed to be engaged in a desperate fight against the gloaming. And not always winning.

2011 ROCK AND POP HONORABLE MENTIONS: Nick Lowe's The Old Magic was a timelessly recorded album that celebrates the perspective that life belatedly gives us. … After a period of oddly quiet introspection, Wilco recaptured some of its early unpredictability on The Whole Love. … Ex-Wings and Joe Cocker guitarist Henry McCullough's explores what comes after superstardom on the sharply insightful Unfinished Business. … Foo Fighters' Wasting Light was a thrillingly straight-forward rock release. No hyphens. Just rock. … Julian Lennon confronts his father, and his father's legacy — both musically and personally — on the complex and confessional Everything Changes.

Cloud Business in India on Way to be a Billion-Dollar Opportunity
New Delhi, 4th June, 2016: After presenting a 500-million-dollar opportunity this year, India's cloud market is set to grow to 1 billion dollars by 2020. And Microsoft's cloud aptly reflects that growth statistic. According to Microsoft, nearly 50% of top 100 Indian companies listed on the BSE are using Microsoft cloud.
Lets have a look at the different sectors. The most promising BFSI sector in India constantly faces multiple challenges such as handling diverse customers, resource implementation and maintaining financial and information security. They are taking the help from local cloud to build up their business, keeping their fear in abeyance.
The highly competitive healthcare sector is constantly looking for solutions that help manage costs, enhance customer experience, while maintaining high security and compliance standards. The coming together of Big Data, machine learning, scalability and lower latency is facilitating advances in quality of care and cost savings for healthcare players.
The most buzz creating and red-hot e-commerce sector in India too is leveraging the power of Microsoft cloud to maintain their growth momentum with the ability to lower costs, accelerate deployments and respond quickly to market opportunities, says Microsoft.
Speed, security, scalability and flexibility to accommodate growth are big draws with the IT sector. Maintenance-free deployments and elasticity of a distributed cloud offering add to the attractiveness of migrating to the Microsoft India datacenters.
Machine learning and cloud solutions are speeding up India's digital transformation. The local cloud is helping to accelerate e-governance and roll-out of citizen services by governments, thereby pushing the Digital India and Smart Cities programs.

Sly Boots wrote:Utterly baffled how professional film critics can claim in all seriousness that Bright's the worst film of the year. WTF?
2017 will definitely go down as the year critic trust went out the window for sites like Rotten Tomatoes especially when they've put a review of Downsizing on Bright's page, and the only Rotten review for Aliens was reloaded four years ago from two newspaper paragraphs when the film was new.
Critics don't seem to be nearly as harsh on films with Amazon production financing that get full releases before they go to streaming so maybe Sly has a point about snobbery.
