This light gel-like serum instantly lifts and dramatically brightens the delicate eye area, while visibly diminishing both dark circles and puffiness within the space of a few minutes. While many eye creams just hydrate or help to perk up the under-eye area, this creates a tightening effect that leaves me feeling wide awake - even when I awake more tired than when I went to sleep. It's hard to describe the sensation (it's not tingling or numbing, but definitely leaves skin feeling perky,) but it's one I've become a little bit addicted to over the last few weeks. I've used this throughout my mini break to New York and a recent trip to Brussels, both of which involved incredibly early starts and overnight travel; it really did make a huge difference to both the appearance of those dreaded bags, and the way I was feeling too. The great things about the Beauty Shot Eye Lift is that it can be used under or over makeup, meaning it's the perfect handbag or in-flight essential that will leave you feeling refreshed as soon as you need it.
If you're interested in the science bit, then a unique Glycine Betaine complex improves the eye contour, while Hyaluronans from Yeast Biofermentation instantly firm, lift and smooth lines; Phycocolloids from Microalga plump and keep skin hydrated and comfortable, making this a hardworking formula that nourishes instantly and over time. Put simply, the science geeks over at REN have spent the last couple of years experimenting and perfecting a formula that really does improve the appearance of all those little niggles - while offering an instant brightening effect, thanks to the pearlescent fragments that help to reflect the light. I've been recommending this left, right and centre since I started using it, and I'm thrilled to see so many others loving the effect as much as me; this is so effective and so addictive, that they should practically be giving these out to every single person as soon as they hit the big 3-0. It may look like a teeny understated bottle, but within it there's a formula waiting to make a big impact.
The Ren Instant Brightening Beauty Shot Eye Lift is available now, priced £28.00.

Bullying in the United States has become an increasingly common occurrence. Nearly 30 percent of American adolescents have reported experiencing bullying as victims, bullies or both, as found by a 2011 study released by the Centers for Disease Control.
What can you do to protect your child? Carrie Goldman wrote "BULLIED: What Every Parent, Teacher, and Kid Needs to Know About Ending the Cycle of Fear" after her daughter was taunted for bringing a "Star Wars" Thermos to school, sparking a viral anti-bullying movement. She shared some of her tips for handling bullying here:
Don't be dismissive.
One of the biggest mistakes parents can make is dismissing taunting or inappropriate behavior as just kids being kids, Goldman says. She advises that parents look out for four distinct characteristics of bullying behavior:
- Repeated tormenting. This is a significant indication that your child is being bullied.
- Unwanted teasing. Teasing doesn't always have the intention of malice, and at times, can be playful. However, it is unwanted teasing if your child is not laughing along with the others, and this is a warning sign.
- Power imbalance. Is there a victim? Is someone using physical strength? Question whether the harmful action is due to a power imbalance.
- Developing fear. Watch if your child starts to develop a fear of what is happening, and changing their behavior as a result.
Document what happened.
Get a journal to create a paper trail of exactly what happened, Goldman advises. Include dates, reactions, photographs, print screens of Facebook pages (in cases of cyber bulling) and anything else that may be seen as evidence.
Goldman also advises teaching your child that it is okay to report an incident. Many children are afraid of a stigma that may be attached to them if they report an incident of bullying to an adult.
"If a child is afraid, they are reluctant to tell someone that they are being taunted," she says.
Let them know it's not their fault.
"Help your child cognitively reframe the event so as not to accept blame," Goldman says. If your child is being bullied, it's important to let them know that they are not being picked on because of something they did, but rather because a bully is simply being mean.
"Do your best to get your child to believe that it is not their fault that they were bullied," Goldman says. "Your child, even subconsciously, is assuming that what they are being made fun of for is their fault, and that is absolutely not the case."
Make sure the school's steps toward resolution are effective.
If a student is being bullied at school, Goldman says the teacher in the classroom needs to make it clear that such behavior is unacceptable. In addition, Goldman emphasizes how important it is that the school is not taking punitive disciplinary actions, but offering services to help them see how they can change their behavior.
"Meet with your school and discuss alternatives to suspensions," Goldman says. "Children would be more willing to report an incident without fear that the bully will retaliate."
Find a group where the child feels accepted.
Look for a place where your child feels socially accepted to help them cope with the pain of being bullied, Goldman says. This shows the child that there are places for them to feel safe and to have fun.
"Maybe it's summer camp, maybe martial arts, or art class — something that makes them feel accepted and comfortable in their own skin."

Undrip IOS App To Get Facebook Updates Only From Your Friends
Posted by Art Of Legend India [dot] Com On 4:32 AM
Summary: Want to see only your friends updates to save your time spending on Facebook and Twitter, try this trending iOs app
No doubt Facebook and Twitter are one of the great and most useful social networking websites. In spite of having great look, simple interface and Google brand, Google+ is still not able to reach the top position.
The very first thing which I don't like of Facebook is that it doesn't show me status, photos and other updates of my friends on top. Rather it shows the advertisements and other sponsored posts on the top.
Same goes with the Twitter as well. Whenever I login then I didn't see tweets of my friends rather I see all public tweets and tweets that have been either sponsored or retweeted most of the time.
As soon as I came to know about this problem then I started searching for the solution over the web as I know every internet related solution has got solution over the internet itself and hopefully I found a better solution.
The solution is known as Undrip and it is available as an app for the iOS devices. The app is available for free at the official iTunes store and it is compatible with the latest version of the iOS.
You can filter out the news which you want to see on the news feed by making choices based on the categories. If you want to see stuff only from your friends then you can do it very easily by choosing that particular category.
When you start the app for the first time after installing then you need to sign up for a free account and then you will be asked to choose the categories. The most general categories are photography, travel, news, music, sports, etc.
The only limitation with this app is that you can choose only three categories in starting. To
allow yourself to select more categories then you need to get more followers for your Undrip account. This simply means the developers want you to do the social marketing of the app so that they get more users.
You can connect both your Twitter and Facebook account inside this app. So you can see content of both of your most popular and useful social profiles right there at single platform.
Well, this is not the end of the features of this app. When you start using and seeing content of your social network profiles then also you can categorize them further by choosing articles, photos or videos or the websites. That means a perfect social networking app for the iOS users.
I think now you're very much convinced and want to go for the app but still the last thing which might stop you of using this app is that you must be wondering about the UI. I'm glad to tell you that UI is very elegant and everything looks very beautiful.
So a perfect solution for your little problem related to social networks. You can get this app for free from the official iTunes app store.

The following blog post was written by Gary Moulton, Senior Marcom Manager at Microsoft. Gary works on technology issues related to aging and people with disabilities, and has worked at Microsoft for 17 years.
During the very early days of the internet there was a bulletin board system (BBS), named SpecialNet, that existed to provide special education teachers, school-based clinicians and administrators a way to get answers for questions about solutions for students with disabilities. The questions that were typically asked on SpecialNet ran the gamut from low to high-tech in nature. During this time period, I was working as an accessibility consultant at a large technology company which required me to find answers to the "high-tech" questions that had been posted.
It is important to note that when I say "find answers" it was genuinely a treasure hunt. Many of the questions that were posted to SpecialNet had never been asked before and likely did not have a known answer. In fact many of the questions would leave me thinking: "Someone is trying to do what?" The SpecialNet BBS was low tech by today's standards, a command-line interface with nothing but text. It was a very different experience from the Internet forums of today.
The questions I received via SpecialNet varied in complexity. It could take me hours, days, sometimes even weeks, to provide an answer about the accessibility of an operating system or the compatibility of "x" assistive technology with "y" application. Typically I would have to track down (by phone) a person who knew the operating system or application at the code level. For easier questions I might locate a manual or user-guide to find relevant information about the product's Accessibility. On rarer occasions, what I really needed was to find a person with a disability who was doing something unique with technology, usually in partnership with an innovative parent, teacher or clinician working with them. These rare individuals, and information about their successes, were nearly impossible to find.
Once I succeeded in finding a solution to a question and had posted my answer to SpecialNet, I would enter it into a personal database that I created to track my findings. Given the effort taken with each item, I wanted to make certain that anyone in the future wouldn't have to dig too much if a similar question was ever raised.
In contrast to the days of SpecialNet, information and resources are abundant in today's online world, with information about the Accessibility of a device, computer, tablet, smartphone or the applications that run on them readily available. I can only imagine how much more productive I would have been in my SpecialNet days with access to information about the hundreds of Assistive technology hardware and software manufacturers that exist on the Microsoft Enable website.
Despite this progress, there still exists low awareness of what is possible today for people with disabilities and the aging population. This is something a colleague and I were reminded of firsthand on a recent road trip. If you know anyone who could benefit from Accessible technology, help spread the word by referring them to an in-person local resource or to one of many online resources like the Microsoft Accessibility website.

1255 - Minna No Mahjong JAP 32 Mbits (Rising Sun)
Languages: Japanese
Save Type : EEPROM_V124[/p]
another Mahjong game? ug... dont get me wrong Ive always found Mahjong quite entertaining but how many different ways can they market the same old game? @.@
Hey, I like Mahjongg games... Playin' shanghai right now...
Lesee...Acaed's predictions are:
1256 - Sanrio Puroland All Characters (J)
1257 - Zooo (J)
Just predictions...I've been right so far, though.
EDIT: Yeah, sorry, ronin. I meant to hit edit but hit 'new post' instead. Ah well. No need to sound so harsh, my friend...
@ Acaed : There is a edit button on your very right, i advice you to use it next time.
Sorry if you took it that way. No harm done i hope.
Just be sure to hit the right button next time
Not the one i punched this time around
Edit : The joke's on the edit button, so i just edited my joke.
I like the real Mahjong game, but most ppl seem to get it mixed up with the solitaire called Shanghai.
Don't think that I've ever seen an English version of a real Mahjong on any platform.
Pretty hard to understand though if you can't read chinese signs. I can almost count to ten in chinese, but I usually have a small slip of paper with the meaning of the different signs.
generally we get an alone-version of mahjong, this one seems to be the real game (4 players) so it must be better (if u know any 4 players mahjong game in english tell me : i don't know the right rules and i want to learn them)
moreover don't forget that mahjong games are popular because they are often kinda... hot. (i don't think gba ones are like that but on many systems there are sexy mahjong games)
There is a real version of Mahjong that runs on Windows. One of the few games that I've actually purchase... Go to www.ninedragons.com. It's a great game for those who like to play. Oh, one of the other games I've purchased is Typing of the Dead. NICE game!
It depends what version of Mahjongg this is... if it's the old traditional one it's ok... the hong kong version is not that much my thing but I think it's the hong kong version.
I know the rules... kinda...
Think of Mah Joong as a chinese card game, with three kinds of suits (bamboo, circles, billions), dragons, seasons, winds and flowers.
Flowers sort of a joker, where you get to pick a card from the bottom of the pile (and get extra points in the end). So if you get a flower, you just put it in front of you and take another tile.
To win the game, you have to get either three (or four) of a kind or straights and a pair.
The get the most possible points in the game you shouldn't mix the three suits and avoid getting straights (since they don't give you any points). So it's wise to try to collect one of the suits, get a pair of dragons and your own wind.
When I play, I usually don't care about the wind, since I find it quite confusing.
If another player puts a tile on the table that you want, you either say "pong" (three of a kind) or "kong" (four of a kind).
To make a straight, you have to get the tile from the person just before you.
Also, if you make another player win, by "giving" him/her a tile you lose bigtime (depending on how big the winner scores).
Hope this is some sort of help to you
Was the entire show in brief form... hehe... haven't played a long time... oh well... if you take all the possible 'hands' into account you can make your head explode... hehe.
From my limited experience as a kid watching my relatives play Mah Jong, isn't it just like Rummy? And you don't really don't need to know the characters on the tiles...you could probably make it through just by matching things together!...heh.
actually, i think every culture (locale) has slightly different MJ rules. this game is almost definitely playing by Japanese rules (duh), but HK and TW rules are probably probably used by more people. well, because they have more people. i'm not so sure about MJ elsewhere. anyone want to share their grandma's playing book?
the above three actually are kind of similar, so if you can play one, you can probably play the other, but they do have different patterns and sets, which earn different points and stuff.

FORWARD OPERATING BASE RAMADI, Iraq, Nov. 3 - For most American soldiers and marines here, it was hard to tell which was louder: the 10 enemy rockets and mortars that rained down just before dinnertime with ear-splitting detonations that wounded two people and sent others diving to the ground, or what came next.
Less than a minute after the enemy barrage, a battery of Paladin howitzers began "counterfiring" a burst of eight shots that required the rare use of a "red bag" of propellant. This, according to the men who operate the big guns, is the largest sack of the powder, which can send a 90-pound shell out of the Paladin's 155-millimeter barrel at nearly 700 miles an hour for up to 18 miles.
The shots on Monday were so uncharacteristically loud that a group of marines who had taken cover on a second-floor barracks near where rockets and mortars had landed assumed it was another incoming enemy volley.
In fact, the blasts were being produced by Staff Sgt. Terry Cornwell and the three others in his artillery crew. Most of the time, their shots miss the attackers no matter how quickly and accurately they return fire, because the insurgents who attack this camp each day have a reliable routine.
They fire a quick volley, throw their mortar tubes and rocket launchers into the back of their truck and drive away fast -- fast enough to escape before radar operators at the Ramadi base feed the attackers' coordinates, gleaned from tracking their launches, down to the Paladin crews near the edge of the base.Continue reading the main story
This day was different. "They said we got two of them," said Sergeant Cornwell, 37, of Tulsa, Okla.
For the soldiers and marines here -- awaiting all-out warfare in the 30-mile corridor between Ramadi and the insurgent stronghold of Falluja -- suicide car bombers, street gunfights and ambushes at traffic checkpoints are only part of the threat. On the base, they dodge mortars, rockets and an unusually talented sniper who has killed three men in the past month from hidden lairs on the western fringe of this city of 400,000.
The Americans fight back with varied success. The enemy mortar and rocket attacks are fewer and much less accurate, the soldiers believe, because of a two-pronged defense: artillery teams that immediately shower attackers with shells, and ground assault teams in armored Humvees that hide until they are radioed the location of insurgent mortarmen nearby.
Even if the mortarmen are not hurt -- which is usually the case -- this is because the insurgents take only the time needed to fire once or twice and make a dash for it before the retaliation. As Sgt. Anselmo De La Cruz, a 25-year-old from the Bronx who oversees one of the Paladins during a 12-hour overnight shift, put it, "They know what's coming."
As a result, the insurgents are denied vital minutes in which they could adjust fire and take deadlier aim at the base.
But the sniper, who remains at large, is another matter. Base officials and soldiers said the shooter is highly accurate and might be operating at a range of as many as 800 yards. Sergeant Cornwell said one soldier wounded by the sniper told him later that he believed he had survived only because he had just turned his head to look at something when the shot was fired. That movement, the soldier said, shifted his head out of the way and caused the sniper's bullet to puncture his upper back.
"For all this skill the guy has shooting, he had to have been trained in the military," said Specialist Michael Erkan, 20, of Oswego, N.Y. and a member of Sergeant Cornwell's crew.
Hiding in buildings on the outskirts of Ramadi, near the eastern end of the base, the sniper remains a threat for anyone who ventures out of the gate. Teams have tried to take down the sniper, so far to no avail, a base official said.
So far, the roughly 5,500 men and women of the Second Brigade Combat Team have suffered 22 fatalities since they arrived at this base two months ago. In addition to the three sniper victims, Capt. Eric L. Allton, 34, died from mortar fire. All four victims were part of the Second Battalion of the 17th Field Artillery, one of several battalions based here.
One recent morning Sergeant Floyd helped lead a team of soldiers on an ambush mission to take out mortarmen caught firing at the base. Before the mission he admonished the younger soldiers: "Hostile intent, kill them dead, O.K.? Don't try to detain them. Kill them dead. Any questions?"
The mortarmen still active around Ramadi are very good, said Capt. Andre Takacs, 29, who led the mission. "You're probably looking at military Darwinism," he said. "The guys that didn't know what they were doing are probably dead by now."
The mission yielded nothing. Yet for the crew of the Paladin that Sergeant De La Cruz and Sergeant Cornwell each command during separate 12-hour shifts, the counterfiring on Monday added up to "one of our better days," said Specialist Erkan. The most lethal day so far, he said, came a few weeks ago when mortar-bearing insurgents approached to within a few hundred yards of a gate on the other side of the base. The Paladins were ordered to unleash. "It was real gruesome," Specialist Erkan said.
Usually when the Paladin's radio crackles with the call for counterfire, the shots are aborted because commanders at another part of the base decide the fire might hit civilians or American soldiers in the field. The shells have a wide kill zone, the men say -- anything in a 50-yard diameter of where it detonates will be killed instantly.
The enemy mortarmen, the soldiers say, have figured out that the Americans are unlikely to launch retaliatory shots if they set up near civilian buildings.
But this is not always the case, and it was not for the insurgents killed and wounded by the Paladin's Monday afternoon broadside, aimed at insurgents a few blocks away from a school, Sergeant Cornwell said.
"They tried to use the school as cover," he said, adding that commanders almost aborted the mission. "They were hesitant in giving us clearance, but they figured we'd hit the target."Continue reading the main story

Our goal is to improve the health and well-being of each person we serve. We promote positive aging for hundreds of seniors and their families each year through our quality program and senior centers. We believe healthy communities empower older people from diverse backgrounds to choose and develop joyful, healthful and meaningful lives. In our Spirit, Mind and Body program, empowered elders who need help will know where to find information, advice and support. Our community centers encourage and promote individual activeness. We believe being active can help our seniors be more mentally alert, slow bone loss (osteoporosis), reduce the risk of falls, increase flexibility, and improve sleep and fitness of their heart/lungs.

Primary Health Care (PHC) Facilities Managers at more than 650 PHC centres across the country have been trained in the use of the NPHCDA's Mobile Phone Data Exchange System to collect key statistics on-site. These statistics help us improve monitoring, planning and decision making, ensuring services are directed where they are needed most.
The NPHCDA has also made GSM technology part of its strategy to enhance the implementation and management of the Midwives Services Scheme. The Agency's headquarters will be connected with six zonal offices and clusters of 160 PHC centres and 40 general hospitals.
When fully established, the improved ICT connectivity will provide a dedicated voice communication system which will connect health workers to support centres manned by experienced midwives and doctors. It will improve data transmission and information sharing. And it will assist referrals from first to second level health care providers.
This work supports our goal to strengthen institutions, and will have positive impacts on all our NPHCDA programmes.

What is a Function?
Big Idea: Students will identify whether a relation is a function by examining its inputs and outputs or with the vertical line test.
Choosing a Method to Find x-intercepts
Big Idea: Students take a step back from their work to examine a variety of quadratic functions and reflect on why they might choose one method over another.
Seeing Structure in Dot Patterns and Linear Functions
Big Idea: By pulling from and synthesizing the work we've done over time, students get a sense for narrative structure of this course.

DEARBORN, Mich — Ford Motor Company today announced a voluntary safety recall of 2013 model year Ford Escape vehicles equipped with the 1.6-liter engine built through July 11, 2012. Ford estimates that there have been approximately 11,500 of these vehicles produced and distributed for sale in North America, with most in the U.S. market.
- Ford Motor Company is taking quick action on behalf of its customers by conducting a voluntary safety recall of 2013 model year Ford Escape vehicles equipped with the 1.6-liter engine, which were built through July 11, 2012; Escapes equipped with the 2.0-liter and the 2.5-liter engines are unaffected
- The recall is being taken to replace an engine compartment fuel line, which could split and leak fuel, potentially resulting in an underhood fire; no injuries have been reported
- Ford is advising affected owners not to drive their vehicles and to contact their dealers immediately for the needed repair. Dealers will deliver a loaner vehicle to customers and will then transport their 2013 Escape to the dealership until the repair has been completed
- Ford dealers will stop delivering or conducting demonstration drives of the 2013 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.6-liter engines until the issue has been resolved
- The repairs should take less than an hour for the dealership to complete, pending parts availability; If affected customers quickly take action and contact their dealers as advised, all vehicles potentially can be remedied in less than two weeks
Ford is voluntarily recalling Escapes with 1.6-liter engines to replace an engine compartment fuel line, which could split and leak fuel, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. No injuries have been reported. The issue does not affect other 2013 Escape models. The condition also does not present itself in vehicles when the engine is not running.
As an additional safety precaution, customers who already own 2013 Escape vehicles with the 1.6-liter engine are being advised to stop driving their vehicles and to immediately contact their dealers. Dealers will deliver a loaner vehicle to these customers and will transport their 2013 Escape to the dealership for the necessary repairs. The company is working to make parts available as quickly as possible and customers will keep the loaner vehicle at no charge until the repairs on their vehicle are completed.
The company's dealers will stop delivering or conducting demonstration drives of these vehicles so that proper steps can be taken to remedy the issue at the dealership first.
"We have identified an issue and are taking quick actions in the best interest of our customers," said Ray Nevi, assistant director, Ford Automotive Safety Office. "Our intensive investigation and testing has identified the area of concern and we are moving as quickly as possible to repair vehicles for our customers. In the meantime, it is extremely important that affected customers not ignore this recall and immediately contact their dealer."
The repairs are straightforward and should take dealers less than an hour to complete, pending parts availability. If affected customers quickly take action and contact their dealers as advised, all vehicles can be remedied in less than two weeks.
Customers may get further information about these and other recalls at www.fordowner.com or they may contact Ford's Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.

The University of York has a very long history in terms of networked service. In 1989 the Computing Service section wrote and set up the Campus Wide Information Server. The original service was then converted to gopher, but little subsequent development was made with this service as it was soon apparent that the Web would take over. York proceeded to set up a group whose remit was to organise the structure of the new service. This group included representatives from the Computing Service, academic staff and the Library, as well as the University's PR Officer.
Even in those early CWIS days the Library used the network as a resource, inputting data that included bibliographies, guides and information about Internet access, resources and navigational tools.
The current Library Web pages have been live since 1994 and are the work mainly of Christine Ellwood, Subject Librarian for Sciences. The pages are the focus for resource links. The group considered this the best approach, and links are made from the departmental pages to the relevant parts of the library pages.
The Library building is on four storeys. Built in the 1960s, the accommodation was to include a shop and bindery as well as the Library. Typically the Library grew, and the 'shop' now houses the main issue desk .
Access to different resources is split physically throughout the library. Dedicated CD-ROM access is provided on 13 workstations at the main enquiry point, as is dedicated access to BIDS. Access to other electronic resources is provided through the Dynix OPAC Gateway service. From a further 11 PCs in the Library, students have access to the University' s main Web service – York Web – and other PC applications such as word-processing. The bulk of access is provided outwith the library, though, from PC laboratories throughout the university. This was a conscious decision, leaving access to CD-ROM services as free as possible. The original plan was to network CD-ROMs throughout the university, but this objective has been plagued with difficulties from the outset. The Library chose Novell as the networking solution for the CD-ROM service, established before the University changed to its present PC-NFS network. The resulting incompatibility has meant that the CD-ROM service cannot be made available within all departments.
These constraints have meant that the Library has had to take a serious look at its electronic resource provision. In general, the policy has changed now from CD-ROM to looking at alternative online access to services. The Library now uses EDINA and other hosts wherever possible. As Christine Ellwood explained, these types of services are much easier to manage and can be available from any networked PC on campus. Each title currently taken on CD-ROM will be dealt with individually, keeping in mind the need for access anywhere on campus, probably leading to various electronic services running in parallel. The need to network out to departments is seen very much as a necessity and a real improvement to current services. The plan then is to provide access to these services using a single interface.
Internet resources on LibWeb are organised via a 'subject tree'. The pages are designed to provide a central resource to staff and students for electronic information. Liaison with departments varies throughout the University, but staff are encouraged to pass useful resources to the Library for inclusion. With the CWIS already a mature product by the time LibWeb came along, there was already in existence a store of subject-based material which could be lifted directly. The immediate points of entry are to general subject areas and to general resources and resource information. Branching out presents the user with links to the various sub-disciplines. The further one climb s up the tree, the more specific the resource type becomes.
Generally the pages are constructed as one long document, with a contents list at the top and links to the relevant passages below. This is a little untidy with extraneous material present on screen during searches. Christine Ellwood recognises that the tree has grown so vast that she is now looking at reviewing the structure of the pages, and in an attempt to alleviate the problem, an alternative alphabetical search method has been provided.
As far as publicity goes, the Library has not looked upon LibWeb as being a 'marketing tool' as such. All of the printed guides currently available in the Library are mounted on the Web, and staff believe that there are some possibilities there that they have not yet grasped.
The Library has always had an excellent relationship with the Computing Service department. Together, the two services have been running an information literacy course called ILIAD, as a pilot scheme over the last year. The project's aim is to provide generic course materials for all departments and levels, extending and improving a programme of information skills classes previously conducted by the Library. A truly epic undertaking.

Mike Tyson Now Sending Birthday Cards for $2.99 a Pop
The boxer is one of many famous faces appearing in personalized video ecards.
As a Warner Bros. executive, Eric Frankel spent years selling sydication rights to studio hits. These days, he's watching athletes, musicians and reality stars record video messages with hundreds of different name options for his new company.
The recently launched Stargreetz offers up ecards, ring tones and voice mail for customers willing to pay the $2.99 price for a slightly personalized celebrity message.
Ecards from Reba McEntire, Adam West and American Idol finalists are already available -- and in a little while, Mike Tyson will also have a presence on the site.
"This is all new stuff to me," Tyson told USA Today during his Stargreetz shoot. "It's like I'm going into warp speed... the future."
Tyson's greeting, like all the ecards, is somewhat tailored to his personality, with the former boxer making several references to his second career racing pigeons.
It sounds silly, but Frankel has seen a lot of interest.
USA Today also reports that Frankel managed to raise $6.5 million from investors before launching the company.
His backers include former president of CBS Entertainment Jeff Sagansky, producer Joe Roth and industry lawyers Ken Ziffren and Harry "Skip" Brittenham.
Skip, incidentally, is one of over 750 names you can hear Jersey Shore star Pauly D call out in his "Mad, Mad Props!" congratulatory ecard.

Middle East Studies Graduate Capstone Project Cited by The Economist
The July 22, 2017 edition of The Economist featured an article on the growth of Captagon sales in the Gulf states, and featured capstone research by Middle East Studies students Max Kravitz and Will Nichols. The students' capstone project, "Soldiers of Abu Hilalain: An Investigation into Captagon Trafficking by Syrian War Militias and What it Means for US Foreign Policy," examined drug seizure data and conducted interviews with drug enforcement officials in the region to measure militias relative levels of involvement in the Captagon trade. Their research has subsequently been cited numerous times, including in a 2016 article in the French edition of Vanity Fair. This is just one example of how IMES is able to enable students to carry out timely and innovative research projects in the region.
If you are a graduate who has been able to use your capstone research post-graduation, we would love to hear your story. Please reach out to us at [email protected].

Simply stated, weeds are plants out of place, no matter how attractive they may be. Two noteworthy examples running rampant over many Chicago-area gardens this season are ground ivy and the bitter nightshade vine, both of which boast some ornamental aspects, but which are almost universally denounced as nuisance weeds.
Give either an inch and--almost before your eyes--they will have overtaken all other desirable plants. Both are highly invasive and certainly out of place in the meticulously maintained home garden.

Jonathan Taylor's dismissal this week didn't exactly blow up the preseason depth chart for Georgia's defensive line. He was only listed as a third-teamer at nose tackle and didn't start any games last year.
But the impact of the mammoth defensive lineman will still be felt. It could be worse in the long-term, as Taylor had NFL written all over him. Even in the short term, a few injuries this year and now depth is a real problem, and Taylor was the kind of player who could have made a big sophomore-year leap.
Plus, no starting spot on Georgia's defensive line was absolutely set, so Taylor had almost as much chance as anybody to grab a spot this preseason.
So with Taylor out, here's how the front line appears entering preseason practice:
STARTER: James DeLoach, Jr.
OTHERS RETURNING: Toby Johnson, Sr.; John Atkins, R-Fr.
NEW GUYS: Lorenzo Carter, Fr.; Keyon Brown, Fr.
WHAT TO WATCH: In a macabre bit of irony, Taylor's troubles increase the chance that DeLoach – his high school teammate and fellow check double-dipper – will start. Taylor was one of the players that new D-line coach Tracy Rocker was trying at end and tackle, Johnson and Atkins being a couple more. (Rocker, much like predecessor Chris Wilson, plans to mix up the personnel depending on the package. Georgia is likely to have four down linemen much of the time, and the situation will dictate whether the ends are outside pass rushers – meaning Carter or even an outside linebacker such as Jordan Jenkins – or a bigger lineman, such as Johnson.) DeLoach is more of a traditional end, weighing in at about 265 pounds, and while he's struggled to see the field his first two seasons, he had a breakthrough spring, one of the few players that defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt praised. Johnson, meanwhile, came to campus last year with a lot of hype, but last year only had seven tackles and no starts. Carter is going to play somewhere, that's pretty much certain. It's just a matter of whether it's at end or linebacker; it will probably be a bit of both. Brown could also be a factor, and Taylor's dismissal enhances the chances he won't redshirt – but with a decent amount of depth, he still might.
STARTER(S): Chris Mayes, Jr. and/or Mike Thornton, Sr.
OTHERS RETURNING: Johnson, Atkins.
NEW GUYS: Lamont Galliard, Fr.
WHAT TO WATCH: Georgia is still a 3-4 base defense, but much of the time it will be in a 4-2-5, as it was during the last few years under Todd Grantham. (The differences between Grantham and Pruitt are less scheme-oriented than philosophical, if you haven't figured that out by now.) But as mentioned earlier, that doesn't necessarily mean the two inside guys will be nose tackles. One of them usually will be, however, meaning Mayes and Thornton are still in competition with each other for playing time. Mayes seems on the verge of a breakthrough, after quietly becoming one of Georgia's top linemen last year. He's also now the heaviest with Taylor gone. Thornton, a fifth-year senior, brings knowledge and experience. Johnson and Atkins should also be a factor inside. And then there's Galliard, who committed under Grantham, but followed through on signing after the coaching change, and will also get a shot this August.
STARTER: Sterling Bailey, Jr.
OTHERS RETURNING: Ray Drew, Sr.; Josh Dawson, Jr.
NEW GUYS: Carter, Brown.
WHAT TO WATCH: Bailey and Drew have been competing against each other for awhile now, and while Drew seemed to finally emerge last season, his stock took a hit during the spring and is now third string on the team's preseason depth chart. But even Rocker admitted that Drew is going to play, it's just a matter of how much. Drew did have six sacks last year, although four of them came in two games (Missouri and Tennessee). Bailey only had one sack and only one tackle-for-loss, while Drew had eight. But Bailey did start eight games on a pretty solid unit last year. They're both going to play, as is Carter, as we mentioned before. Dawson, who like DeLoach has yet to play much, was also moved down from outside linebacker and appears to be benefitting from the move. He is second team on the team's preseason depth chart, and likely has a good shot at cracking the line rotation.
FINAL BONUS THOUGHT: Conservatively, you can count on seven players (DeLoach, Mayes, Bailey, Thornton, Drew, Carter, Johnson) for the rotation, with Dawson and others capable of playing. That's why Taylor's departure isn't a depth killer yet. The question is how much the unit is suffering now in pure overall talent. Is there a sure NFL draft pick remaining in this bunch? That very much remains to be seen.
Next up: Linebackers.

Amid news of manufacturers realigning or selling off their solar power businesses, such as GE's move to sell its cadmium telluride (CdTe) technology to First Solar and partner on PV R&D in exchange for a stake in First Solar, and Siemens's move out of concentrating solar thermal, there are also stories of companies in other parts of the market who are expanding and enthusiastic about the outlook for solar technology.
OutBack Power Technologies, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of power electronics for renewable energy, backup power and mobile applications, announced the grand opening of its new headquarters in the Arlington Advanced Manufacturing Park in Arlington, Wash., next week. Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and other guests from state and county government are expected to dedicate the facility, where OutBack Power employs about 70 people and will have hired 20 new employees by the end of 2013 in response to increased interest in renewable energy.
OutBack Power said its expansion into the new 42,000 square-foot facility "comes as the industry grows to meet soaring demand for solar power. With solar now the fastest growing energy source in the United States, the market employs more than 120,000 Americans, and Washington ranks 10th in the country for solar employment. Among the features of the new facility is a training facility where the company plans to provide electrical contractors and solar installers with "the training and accreditation to compete in the growing solar design and installation field."

|Immigration and Appeals (Procedure) (Amendment) Rules 2001
Simon Hughes: Will the guidelines that the Minister has just set out be published and publicly available? She set out the sort of considerations involved, in a reasonable way. Will what she has told the Committee be available to advisers and Opposition colleagues in the form of a formal guidance document?
Ms Winterton: I understand from the Home Office that there are enforcement manuals that are designed to guide immigration officers in how to conduct the delivery of decisions in person. The continuing process of assessment of a particular country is not dealt with in the same way. Decisions such as that made in the recent case concerning Zimbabwe would be communicated through different mechanisms. I will check with the Home Office whether those manuals are available publicly.
We are currently drawing up the guidance in the evaluation stage. It will be monitored, reviewed and evaluated as to its effectiveness. I ask hon. Members to factor that into the equation when considering the
Column Number: 12issue. What we have at present is not necessarily what we might learn from experience down the line. That deals with the initial stage of delivery of decisions.
Both hon. Gentlemen talked about the speed of delivery, which will be prompt. The Home Office has undertaken to serve decisions within a maximum of six weeks. That is a firm undertaking. The target is to issue the majority of postal decisions within two working days. To date, 96 per cent. have been sent within 24 hours. There is an undertaking to deliver decisions in person within six weeks. If they are not delivered in that time, they will be sent by post and delivered within two weeks wherever possible.
Concern about notification to legal advisers has been expressed in Committee and in the other place last night, and it is important. I hope that it will reassure hon. Members to know that in all cases under the rules the appellant's legal representative will be sent a copy of the appeal determination. Again, that will be prompt. In cases of personal delivery, the decision will be faxed to the legal representative within 24 hours of delivery of the decision to the appellant. When delivery is by post, the legal representative's copy will be sent out at the same time as the appellant's.
I can reassure hon. Members that no one will be removed from the country before they have had an opportunity to consult a lawyer. The Home Office guarantees that failed asylum seekers will have the opportunity to contact a legal adviser before removal. If a failed asylum seeker is taken into detention, the Home Office will pay for telephone calls to a solicitor. The details of the Immigration Advisory Service and Refugee Legal Centre are posted in all removal centres in many languages.
The new rules make no difference to the availability of further legal remedies after the end of the appeal process. There will continue to be the opportunity to seek a review of the decision by the chief adjudicator or the Immigration Appeal Tribunal, and the opportunity to bring judicial review. If an unsuccessful asylum seeker applies for judicial review to the High Court, the Home Office will not remove that person from the United Kingdom for at least three working days to allow the application to be made. The administrative court office will accept the application by fax. If an application for judicial review is made, the Home Office will not remove the applicant from the United Kingdom until that application is determined. I hope that that provides some reassurance.
Simon Hughes: I am grateful to the Minister, as she is being helpful, but I have questions on two matters about that procedure. First, after the decisions have been served and people have been notified, will they always be told that they have a right to further legal advice? Will they know that there is an independent record of that—that there is a book in which someone could check who gave them that information and whether they had decided to take it up?
Secondly, so we are clear about the timetable, the Minister said that the facts of the case would be sent to legal representatives within 24 hours, with a maximum
Column Number: 13of three days in which to submit a case for judicial review. I understand, from her comments and from those made yesterday, that there will in every case be three working days between service of the decision and any removal action. That would ensure that, once the legal advisers had received the material, there would be a further two days in which individuals and their lawyers could hold consultations and reach a decision. If the three days do not necessarily have to be working days, and weekends and bank holidays and Christmas can be included in the period, the protection may not be sufficient.
Ms Winterton: The guidance for the immigration officials will make it clear that if the legal adviser has been notified and the appellant requests further legal advice, and if there is a clear indication from the legal adviser that there are considered to be good grounds for an application for judicial review, and one is planned, there will be no removal. The removal will not take place until the judicial review has been attended to.
Mr. Malins: May I press the Minister on that point, because she has not given us a complete answer on the issue of whether the three days would be working days. One is naturally concerned about both the unrepresented and the represented appellant, but particularly the former. It is possible to find three consecutive days that are not working days—it happens a lot. There can be no harm in confirming that the period is one of three working days. It would ensure that the appellant has the opportunity properly to seek legal advice.
Will the Minister also confirm that, whether unrepresented or represented, people will be told that they have a right to legal advice, and that a record will be kept of the opportunities provided to them to contact legal advisers?
Ms Winterton: I am afraid that I cannot say whether the three days will be working days, because I do not know the answer. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman is envisaging a situation in which a bank holiday or a day on which the legal office is closed intervenes. I will, however, undertake to write to hon. Members on that point, and on the hon. Gentleman's last point, about which I am slightly unclear.
Mr. Malins: The last point was about making certain, by way of a record, that the appellant had been told of their right to seek legal advice.
Ms Winterton: I will ensure that information about those two issues is passed on to colleagues in the Home Office.
Simon Hughes: I have checked quickly. The issues will not be governed by the rules, but by the policy applying to them. Both Opposition parties formally request that the period be one of three working days and that there be a record of requests for legal advice. The issue of the three working days is important, because if an office is not at work, the legal adviser will have no opportunity to respond and the person will be removed from the country.
Ms Winterton: As I understand matters, the guidance will make it clear to immigration officers
Column Number: 14that they must be satisfied that representations that an asylum seeker or failed asylum seeker wanted made have indeed been made, and that the legal adviser knows about that. I shall certainly pass on the point that has been made, and it may well be Home Office Ministers who respond.
I am glad that Opposition Members have welcomed the phased approach. I confirm that we are not rushing immediately to deliver all final appeal decisions. The new method of delivering appeal decisions in person is being implemented gradually. I re-emphasise that we are being careful to test the new procedures before they are rolled out extensively. We want a robust, fair system. As I have said, there will be evaluations and reviews. I shall certainly pass on the request for Opposition parties and other interested bodies to be kept informed about the progress of the review. There will be a full evaluation of the policy in March, as was explained in another place yesterday.
On consultation and the laying of the rules, we have complied with the necessary procedures. The new rules were laid before Parliament on 17 December 2001 and came into force on 7 January 2002. That is in accordance with the normal 21-day rule for this type of secondary legislation. There have always been claims by hon. Members of insufficient time for proper consultation about rules laid before a recess. However, things have been done in accordance with normal procedure and as provided for in the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
We consulted the Council on Tribunals, as required by statute, at the end of November. I can confirm that copies of the relevant material will be placed in the Library. Before laying the rules we consulted the chief adjudicator and the president of the Immigration Appeal Tribunal. As soon as the rules were laid, copies were sent to all relevant and interested organisations, including Asylum Aid, the Immigration Advisory Service, the Refugee Council, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Refugee Legal Centre. I notice that the Law Society is not mentioned in the list that I have been given, but I shall check whether it was sent copies. Out of the corner of my eye, I see someone nodding, so I suspect that the Law Society was sent copies of the rules. Of course, I take on board the point that we must keep in close contact with such organisations in the monitoring and evaluation of how the rules work.
Simon Hughes: Of course, the letter of the law was complied with. However, the Minister knows that there was no chance to have a debate before the proposals became law, given that the rules were laid on the Monday and published on the Tuesday before Christmas, with Parliament rising the next day. I do not know how the documents were sent, but if they were sent by post, they would certainly not have arrived before the recess. It reminds me of the famous consultation on education policy that started on 25 July and ended on 3 September. The reality is that people are not around at that time.
Will the Minister suggest to her Department that complying with the rules is fine, but giving people a real opportunity to respond is what is intended?

Spain screenings gaining steam
Sales event's sophomore session set for attendance bumpSpanish cinema's top brass convened with Madrid politicos Monday to demonstrate the broad industry support for the second Madrid de Cine Spanish Film Screenings.
More than 130 buyers from 35 countries are confirmed to attend the June 10-12 event, a jump from last year's attendance and 70% greater than that for the now-defunct Lanzarote Screenings, which the Madrid confab replaced.
Buyers will have access to the freshest and most diverse product Spain can offer, with 51 films screening at the Princesa theaters and a videoteca available for other Spanish titles.
"Last year, we were even more successful than we had hoped," said Pedro Perez, president of screenings host organization FAPAE, the federation of Spanish producers. "Madrid now forms part of the international calendar as a must for buyers."
FAPAE organizes the screenings, backed by a €600,000 ($808,974) budget, with institutional and financial support from Spain's Foreign Trade Institute (ICEX), the Madrid regional government, the Madrid municipal government, the Madrid Film Commission and the Audiovisual Producers' Rights Management body (EGEDA) as well as the local Princesa theater chain and movie downloading Web site Filmotech.
"We are seeing an increase in the sale of Spanish cinema and we are satisfied with the Madrid de Cine," ICEX executive vp Angel Martin said. "Last year, there was a 15% rise in sales."
According to Martin, sales revenue grew to €100 million ($134.8 million) from €94 million the year before. Thus, ICEX has upped its commitment to Spanish cinema 30% this year, investing some €3 million ($4 million) in assisting the industry to access foreign markets.
Among the titles that will screen are Carlos Saura's "Fados," Antonio Hernandez's "El Menor de los Males," Tristan and David Ulloa's "Pudor," Fernando Perez's "Madrigal," Hernan Gaffet's "Ciudad en Celo" and Alvaro Diaz Lorenzo's "Cafe solo o con Ellas."
Among those confirmed to attend are Japan's Miyako Sonoki of Chase Film, Eri Kubo of Pony Canyon, Kazutaka Kimori of Hexagon Pictures, Korea's Sinae Kim of Cinema Valley and Jason Chung of Line Tree Entertainment. Representing the U.S. are Dori Begley of Magnolia Pictures, Jose Ramon Ganchegui of Venenvision International, Alexandra Rossi of New Line Cinema, Roberto Buso-Garcia of HBO, Richard Rohrbach of LAPTV and David Bowlds of Strand Releasing.
Also attending are the U.K's Emil Elmer of Pathe Distribution, Eve Schoukroun of ThinkFilm, Eleonore de Prunele of Universal Pictures, Helen Spencer and Bjorn Ricketts of Maiden Voyage Pictures, Andy Whittaker and Anna Godas of Dogwoof and Mark Adams of ICA Films as well as Argentina's Guillermo Avellaneda of Buena Vista International (Latin America) and Martin Iraola of the Walt Disney Studios.
The numbers show a jump to 11 U.K. buyers this year from six in 2006, 12 French buyers from five in '06 and 20 Eastern European buyers from 16 in '06.
"We've focused this year not only on increasing the foreign general press invited to collect material to support the release of Spanish films in their respective countries, but on the quality of the buyers," Perez said. "The people that are coming here have decisionmaking powers in their companies."
Spanish sales agents generally applaud the Madrid initiative.
"Last year's event was very positive," said Max Saidel, president of Madrid-based sales outfit Latido. "A lot of deals were started here. It's a great way to focus our attention and spend more time with buyers interested in Spanish film, and with the capital's central location, it is a natural choice for Spain's big sales event."
In addition to a series of roundtables discussing Madrid's new film law and the benefits of international co-productions, organizers have planned a Tuesday-night party at Madrid's hip Ananda club.
But while Spanish nightlife, food and fun are ingredients organizers are using to attract international executives, Spanish cinema is the key.
"The message is clear. It's not just that we make good movies," Spanish Film Institute chief Fernando Lara said. "It's that we are selling them abroad."

Baltimore County, MD – Lawrence Talby had realized that one of the tickets he had purchased for the Mega Millions drawing was a winner when he checked the lottery website Friday night. Eager to claim his share of the $640 million prize, he left his home early Monday morning and headed towards the Maryland State Lottery offices. Unfortunately Mr. Talby never made it to the lottery commission office. Less than 5 miles away from his home Mr. Talby was killed in what witnesses describe as a 'horrific' car accident. The incident report explains that Mr. Talby was driving northbound on State Highway 99 when he collided with an unknown object. The report does not speculate about the object, but a witness to the accident described what she had seen, "I was a mile down the road from his car, this small glowing ball goes right over my head, straight down the road about 100 feet in the air going incredibly fast. Just after it passed me I saw it collide with the car." Other witnesses told very similar stories with general agreement that the object was an asteroid. Jacob Travers, an off duty paramedic who also witnessed the accident, detailed his reaction,
"As a paramedic my instinct is to get in there and try to help, but as soon as I got a good view it was obvious that no one was going to survive. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. I know asteroids crash into the earth, but the odds of being hit and killed by one must be astronomically small. Then I heard someone in the crowd said that he was the Mega Millions winner and I was just floored. They said the odds of winning were 175 million to 1. I remember an article from before the drawing that said the chances of being killed by an asteroid were 1 in 700,000. For both things to happen to the same person, my god, what must be the odds of that?"
Maryland State Lottery officials had not comment as to whether Mr. Talby's estate would be able to claim his prize.

If we don't get too much rain, rivers in the region should be in good shape. Steelhead anglers will have to head to the Olympic Peninsula or to southwest rivers with Tuesday's closure of the few North Sound river locations that were still open.
Cispus: During the past week, three coho adults and 30 winter-run steelhead were released into the river above the mouth of Yellow Jacket Creek.
Columbia: There were more anglers on the lower river over the weekend, but still no one is catching any chinook. Sturgeon fishing has been best in the Bonneville Pool, where boat anglers averaged a legal-size fish per boat, said a state report. The Dalles Pool has been producing walleye. Boat anglers averaged slightly over a walleye per rod when including fish released. Bank anglers were also catching some fish.
Cowlitz: The fishing is slowly improving, but still not as consistent as it was before all this high water. The river was running at 9,570 cfs Monday morning with clarity of about 3 feet, said Marshall Borsom of Fish Country. Boat anglers are having the most success catching steelhead, in the Blue Creek area. Borsom said people are using yarn and night crawler, sand shrimp with a bead or jig and bobber.
Olympic Coast: The rivers were unfishable Tuesday, but they should improve before the weekend, said Bob Gooding at Olympic Sporting Goods. The Sol Duc and Calawah should be the first to be in shape to fish, maybe as soon as today.
Tilton: Tacoma Power employees released 13 winter-run steelhead into the river at Gust Backstrom Park in Morton.
Yakima: The river was flowing at 2,300 cfs Tuesday morning and is in good shape. Anglers are seeing some skwala adults on the water. Although the dry-fly action has yet to really get going, some fish are willing to come to the surface, said a report from The Evening Hatch. Nymphing with stoneflies and San Juan worms is still the most productive method.
American: Anglers are catching some kokanee, yellow perch and a few rainbow trout.
Lone: Fly-fishing action has been fair to good. Anglers are catching six to eight fish, most measuring 13-17 inches long.
Mayfield: The lake is still producing some rainbow trout. Successful anglers are fishing off the bottom with Power Eggs and worms.
Riffe: Fishing has been good to very good, when the water is up a little higher, Borsom said. Silvers are biting on worms and cocktail shrimp as usual, but you have to find the right depth.
North Sound: Fishing has been fair in Marine Area 9, with fish weighing 8-15 pounds, said Mike Chamberlain at Ted's Sports Center. Most anglers are averaging a fish a day. Marine Areas 5 and 6 open to fishing today, with expectations for some good fishing. Jigging for smelt has been good in Oak Harbor.
Tacoma: Anglers had a little luck over the weekend, but fishing is still on the slow side. Trolling and mooching off the clay banks and Point Dalco have been the most productive way to go, said Art Tachell at Point Defiance Boathouse Marina. He said some of the fish have been fairly big, including one weighing 14 pounds, 4 ounces.
