For the fourth year, microbrewery distributers will take over Tuscaloosa for Well That's Cool's event, Suds of the South. Wilhagan's will host the sold-out event Saturday.
For the fourth year, microbrewery distributers will take over Tuscaloosa for Well That's Cool's event, Suds of the South. Wilhagan's will host the sold-out event Saturday.
The event is held the first weekend of the University of Alabama's spring break, and this year 16 breweries from five states will be attending, including, as usual, one "Southern Sympathizer" from Colorado.
Well That's Cool came up with the idea of having the microbrewery beer festival from an article in The Tuscaloosa News that included a map of Southern breweries.
"We thought it would be nice to have an event that was focused solely on the breweries in the South," said Bo Hicks, a founder of Well That's Cool and Druid City Brewing Company. "It shows that really good craft beer can be made in the South, not just on the West Coast or Colorado or Michigan."
Suds of the South attendees can talk one-on-one with representatives from each brewery, Hicks said. Representatives will field any questions about their products, from how it is brewed to where the ingredients are grown. And they will do all of this in a festive atmosphere, Hicks said.
The event has grown so popular over the last three years, that this year tickets for the event are sold out. Tuscaloosa residents are not the only ones taking advantage of this opportunity.
"We get a lot of people from outside of Tuscaloosa who come and support it," Hicks said. "Tuscaloosa residents love it because it's something that's interesting, and it's in Tuscaloosa."
Vendors also benefit from the event, Hicks said. Suds of the South allows them to put their specialized products in front of conscious consumers. Hicks said people at the events may try certain beers and tell their bar owners they want it stocked, which allows for the microbreweries to grow.
Caroline Lasseter, who works for Greene Beverage Company in Tuscaloosa said Suds of the South has a hand in promoting Southern microbreweries.
"When they first did (Suds of the South) a couple years ago, craft beers weren't that big in Tuscaloosa," Lasseter said. "Then a few years ago, the Suds of the South event started, and it's really helped people's knowledge of microbreweries in the area."
Although the Suds of the South event sold out almost a week in advance, Hicks said he and the Well That's Cool team do not plan on expanding for next year's event. Hicks said the event is small for a reason: Beer tasters can create a more meaningful connection with vendors with the current size of the affair, he said.

He is the Co-Principal Investigator for the Delaware Valley Node of the CTN, Principal Investigator for the NIH-funded HIV Prevention and HIV Vaccine Trials Units in Philadelphia, the Chair of the Substance Use Working Group for the HIV Prevention Trial Network, and the Director of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Core of the Penn Center for AIDS Research. Since 1989, he and colleagues from the Center for Studies of Addiction have been conducting AIDS-related longitudinal studies of injection and non-injection drug users. Under his direction, over 3,000 drug-using subjects from Philadelphia have been enrolled in HIV studies known collectively as the Risk Assessment Projects (RAP). Dr. Metzger's research division has developed innovative community-based strategies for recruiting and retaining individuals at high risk of HIV infection into longitudinal studies. Currently, his work involves testing the safety and efficacy of behavioral and biomedical prevention interventions including vaginal microbicides, HIV vaccines, social networks, and agonist treatment strategies in Philadelphia, Thailand, China, and Ukraine. A primary objective of this work has been to provide valid and reliable data that can increase understanding of the protective effects of participation in substance abuse treatment.

If you didn't know that Cordo were Dutch you'd probably guess just by looking at this CRD pannier set. It's a one piece unit with the panniers joined by a plastic hinge that clips onto the rack. It's got a lock as well, for added security. The Dutch are usually regarded as being way ahead of us when it comes to commuting and carrying stuff, but this isn't one of their best efforts, in fact it's pretty poor.
At first glance it's all good. The panniers look smart and sturdy with a tough rubberised material for the flaps and a rubberised lining on the inside of the main compartment. There's a zipped pocket which occupies most of the flap but it only has a mesh back, so don't go putting anything vulnerable in there because it will probably get wet. The flaps have a magnetic closure, allegedly, but I'll come back to that later. There's nothing by way of organisation inside the bag, it's just a big old hole for carrying things. You get a tiny reflective patch on the rear of the panniers, but no light loop. They're reasonably well made but the plastic hinge, which doubles as a handle off the bike, feels weak and brittle. Capacity isn't huge, at 19l per bag, but the deep and square compartment means they'll take a reasonable amount of shopping.
Before you can use the set you have to fit a frame onto the top of your rack, this is what the hinge clips into and what the lock secures to. It's easy enough to fit and should go on pretty much any rack but you'll have to mount it as far back as you can because the square bags can lead to some annoying levels of heel strike. Once fitted the panniers drop onto the top and secure with four angled tabs that settle into slots on the frame. That would be simple enough on its own but with two very tight stability hooks on the side of the bags fitting the thing can be awkward and fiddly, especially if it's full.
The top frame may be rather counter intuitive, why would you want to fit a rack on top of your rack, but it allows for a lock to be fitted and that's the USP of this set. The lock is nothing special and secures with just a couple of rotating tabs under the plastic end of the frame. It doesn't inspire confidence and I wouldn't give it more than a few seconds in the face of a thief with a prybar or even a sharp tug from a large chap like Big Dave.
This isn't a luggage system that's designed to be taken off the bike, the lock is just there to prevent a passing tealeaf from nicking the panniers themselves. I'm not sure it's that great an idea, you certainly wouldn't want to use these for touring, but for use round town I can see it makes a certain amount of sense, after all when off the bike you only have to carry the contents, not the extra weight of the panniers themselves. Personally I'd still prefer a decent basic set of regular panniers which would be cheaper, lighter, more versatile and won't clog up the top of the rack but I can see how someone else might find them useful, hopping from shops to work and home.
As I mentioned earlier, the huge flaps use a magnetic closure. This isn't just an Achilles heel, it's a whole leg. Put in the simplest terms, they don't work. Even the most modestly paced commute will have one flap or the other flipping up and over, leaving the main compartment exposed as well as the mesh lined inside of the flap pocket. If I was unimpressed with the bags before, this particular design fail turned me completely against them.
They're basically a mediocre pair of panniers with extra features of dubious value and a huge, glaring flaw. Unlike other bits of luggage I've tested these will be gathering dust from the moment I submit this review.

road.cc test report
Make and model: Cordo Pannier Set CRD
Size tested: Red
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
"Easy to take off and to lock thanks to the Cordo lock Quick Carrier system. Front pockets with zipper closure. With magnet closure and reflection."
They're a fiddly pain to take on and off and the magnetic closures don't work. They make me feel cross and, if I'd paid for them, shortchanged.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Not much to tell really: worlds weakest magnets aren't really a highlight.
Bag is well made but plastic hinge feels brittle and cheap.
Really not great. The magnetic closures don't work at all and the flaps just flip over the rack, leaving your stuff exposed.
Depends on how robust the hinge ends up being and you can't use the bags without it.
Hinge and top rack adds weight.
It's not worth buying something that doesn't work.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Very poor. The flaps don't stay closed, the limited adjustment means heel strike is quite likely and the lock is too weak to be reassuring.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Nice colour.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Useless magnetic closure. Awkward and cumbersome to take on and off the bike.
Did you enjoy using the product? No
Would you consider buying the product? No
Would you recommend the product to a friend? No
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Replace the useless magnetic closures with proper clips and they would at least be usable.

Blacksburg, VA (WWBT)- After Virginia Tech got stomped by Clemson in Saturday night's ACC Championship game, many thought their hopes of a BCS bowl game berth were history. The BCS has a habit of surprising people, however, both in good and bad ways, and the Hokies were the beneficiary of the system when selection time came.
Virginia Tech will battle Michigan in the Sugar Bowl on January 3. The Hokies finished the season 11-2 with both losses coming to Clemson. It marks the 19th straight year that Virginia Tech has reached a postseason bowl game. Michigan is 10-2 and this will mark the first meeting between these two teams in history.
Both teams receive the Sugar Bowl bid ahead of several teams that ranked in the top ten in the final BCS standings. Arkansas, Boise State and South Carolina were all left out of the BCS picture, despite holding top ten status. LSU and Alabama are two SEC teams battling for the national championship, making it harder for the Razorbacks and Gamecocks as fellow SEC squads.
As for Virginia, the Cavaliers are headed to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta to battle defending national champion Auburn on December 31. This marks the Cavs' first bowl appearance since the 2007 season and their third meeting with the Tigers. The two teams split their last two meetings. This will be Virginia's fourth appearance in this bowl game, formerly known as the Peach Bowl. Mike London led his Wahoos to an 8-4 season and earned ACC Coach of the Year honors.
Auburn is 7-5 on the year, 4-4 in the SEC.

Following a well-established tradition, the Grand Master made a summary of the main events in
the Order's life over the past year, giving general lines of activity for the future, including special
attention to the Jubilee celebration. The Knights of Malta have prepared a precise and very well
articulated program of assistance to pilgrims in need of emergency health care. Many of the
Knights will work as volunteers in Rome during the Jubilee Year.
Last year, the Order of Malta celebrated its 900th anniversary. It has organized meetings and
pilgrimages to commemorate periods of its history, from Malta to Rhodes and ending in Rome.
Over the past year, the Knights Roman headquarters have been visited by many heads of State,
including King Juan Carlos of Spain.
"The international community is committed today in various areas to reach the objectives of
pacification and liberation from need and suffering, which constantly challenge the conscience of
civil societies," Andrew Bertie said. The Order wishes to make its contribution to this process,
given its special charisms: the defense of faith through witness, not the sword, and service to the
The Knights of Malta are present in over 100 countries worldwide, through their own
international organizations, foundations, and coordination centers. The Order's humanitarian
action is carried out in more than 100 of its hospitals and thousands of out-patient clinics. Over
the past few years the Order has increased its assistance to victims of natural disasters and
armed conflicts, by creating care centers for refugees, rural hospitals, and distributing medicines
and first aid. In order to implement this work, it counts on the assistance of 40 rescue groups
that coordinate 80,000 permanent volunteers in different crisis zones.
The Sovereign Military and Hospitaler Order of St. John of Jerusalem was created in 1099 to
care for pilgrims and patients in Jerusalem. The Order's Rule, confirmed by Pope Paschal II
(1113) served as a model for other Hospitaler Orders. After the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, the
Order established itself in St. John of Acre (1285-1291). When that city was taken by the
Muslims, the Order sought refuge in Cyprus (1291) and controlled the island of Rhodes
(1308-1522), as a result of which they were known as the Knights of Rhodes. Following the
conquest of the Island, Charles V ceded Malta to them (1530-1798). After losing this Island
first to Napoleon (1798) and then to Great Britain (1800), the Order was reorganized in the
19th century in Italy. Today its sovereignty is recognized by 85 States. In honor of its 900th
anniversary, Malta ceded a historic castle on the island to the order.

Restricted gift of the Architecture & Design Society, 2008.207
Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, a cluster of industrial designers, including London-based Ron Arad, hungry for experimentation and inhibited by the economic climate in Europe, began exploring new methods and approaches to design problems. One of Arad's most significant early works, this chair is made from a Rover 200 car seat mounted on a frame of Kee Klamp scaffolding originally designed in the 1930s. The design illustrates Arad's preoccupation with experimentation and innovation, combining original and preexisting objects into inventive constructions with new uses in an effort to reawaken interest in these previously discarded materials and forms.

By Lesley Wroughton
LONDON (Reuters) - If it's Saturday, it must be Paris. Or Kabul. Or perhaps Bali, Kuala Lumpur or London.
At the end of a grueling 13-day trip to Southeast Asia, Europe and Afghanistan, John Kerry is already building a reputation for globe-trotting to rival that of predecessor Hillary Clinton, who was one of the most-traveled U.S. secretaries of state.
Clinton launched into her role as the top U.S. diplomat after the disappointment of losing the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, piling up huge numbers of air miles as the face of the new administration of President Barack Obama.
In her first year in the job, she traveled 206,000 miles to 44 countries on official business, according to State Department figures.
Kerry already has surpassed that figure, flying 213,028 miles since only February to 34 countries over 107 days as a surge in talks over Syria's civil war and renewed Middle East peace negotiations helped take him the equivalent of 8 1/2 times around the world.
Part of the heavy travel load comes with the job. But much of it is pure Kerry, whose penchant for what aides describe as "personal diplomacy" is all about face-to-face encounters with foreign leaders.
The 69-year-old former senator and 2004 Democratic U.S. presidential nominee made an unannounced visit to Kabul last week for one-on-one talks with President Hamid Karzai after scrapping plans to visit the Philippines due to a typhoon.
"He decided that making this trip, spending the time, rolling up his sleeves and doing personal diplomacy, which you all know he enjoys doing, was important," a senior State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said en route to Kabul.
Kerry stayed way longer in the Afghan capital than planned, extending his discussions on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until the sun was setting over the presidential palace. He canceled a dinner appointment 3,500 miles away in Paris with the Saudi foreign minister to discuss Syria and Egypt.
The personal touch seemed to work with Karzai. The pair reached a preliminary deal that would keep some U.S. forces in Afghanistan beyond a 2014 deadline.
Needing to get out of Kabul to begin his next journey, Kerry cut short a news conference with Karzai announcing the draft agreement after what amounted to almost 24 hours of talks over two days.
"I have to get on the plane," Kerry told the news conference as an aide tapped his watch to signal to the secretary it was time to leave. "And I apologize because we would like to stay longer," he added.
With the Paris dinner scrubbed, Kerry headed instead to London for lunch with European Union representative Catherine Ashton on Sunday and a meeting on Monday with the U.N. special envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, before returning to Washington on Monday night.
In the eight months since he succeeded Clinton, Kerry has repeatedly juggled priorities amid a virtually non-stop travel schedule that has left many around him often exasperated and exhausted.
If he keeps up his current pace, Kerry might also eclipse Condoleezza Rice, who chalked up 214,000 miles in her first year as secretary of state in 2005 while the Iraq insurgency was raging.
By the time Clinton left office this year, she had overtaken Madeleine Albright's record of most countries visited by a U.S. secretary of state.
Kerry has some way to go to catch up with Clinton's overall travel total. The former secretary of state ran up a total of 956,523 miles, visiting 214 countries between 2009 and 2012, according to State Department data.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices hovered near $93 per barrel Wednesday in New York, energy prices jumping in reaction to a tax deal announced in Washington.
The reaction is largely one of relief, as Congress increased the tax rate for couples earning $450,000 or more per year, but left taxes low for the middle class.
The bill also dodges a default budget that was considered a "fiscal cliff," given the spending cuts and tax hikes were predicted to send the U.S. economy back into a recession.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate crude oil for February delivery added 95 cents to $92.80 per barrel. Home heating oil for February added .92 cents to $3.041 a gallon. Reformulated blendstock gasoline added 3.61 cents to $2.7978 a gallon.
Natural gas prices held steady at $3.225 per million British thermal units.
At the pump, AAA reported the national average price for regular unleaded gasoline slipped to $3.291 per gallon from Tuesday's $3.292.

Labor Policy
What is Alpine's position on Forced Labor and Human Trafficking?
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. (Alpine) recognizes the devastating effects of forced labor and human trafficking on society and prohibits any such form throughout our wholesale trade operations as part of our corporate social responsibility and commitment to legal compliance.
The International Labor Organization (ILO) defines forced labor as involuntary work or service demanded from a person under threat or penalty, which includes penal sanctions and the loss of rights and privileges. It can also be a means of political coercion or as punishment for holding or expressing political views.
Forced or compulsory labor is virtually globally banned. The ILO's 1930 Forced Labor Convention (No. 29) as well as the 1957 Abolition of Forced Labor Convention (No. 105) are the most widely endorsed of all international labor conventions.
For more information, see: http://www.ilo.org/global/topics/forced-labour/lang--en/index.htm and http://www.ilo.org/sapfl/Events/ILOevents/lang--en/WCMS_092176/index.htm
What is Human Trafficking?
The United Nations General Assembly resolution 55/25 of 15 November 2000 defines Trafficking in Persons as:
The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include . . . the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.
For more information, see http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/human-trafficking/what-is-human-trafficking.html#What_is_Human_Trafficking
How does Alpine enforce its prohibition of Forced Labor and Human Trafficking?
Alpine has a Standard Policy and Procedure that requires compliance with all laws and corporate policies, which includes this policy against Forced Labor and Human Trafficking. All employees are required to acknowledge their commitment to understand and comply with the Compliance Management Policy and Procedure. Employees also receive training on policy compliance.
As a condition to doing business with Alpine, our suppliers must agree to adopt policies and practices that support the eradication of Forced Labor and Human Trafficking, including execution of Alpine's Supplier Certification of Social Responsibility.
Alpine also has the right to make periodic, unannounced inspections of our suppliers' facilities and the facilities of our suppliers' contractors and business partners. Such inspections may include an audit and review of financial books and records.
How does Alpine maintain accountability?
Alpine has a dispute resolution process for employees to utilize in the event of any policy violation that includes the option of making an anonymous complaint. Employees receive periodic training on how to resolve disputes and address non-compliance of policies.
Alpine works closely with its suppliers to correct any breaches of its Certification of Social Responsibility. Alpine's suppliers that breach the Certification will be properly informed and if not in compliance, further action will be taken including but not limited to termination of their supply agreement.

Exfinity Chairman on Mentoring Startups
India's technology sector is not short of startups or investors looking to fund them.
Last year, private equity firms invested $7.5 billion in in India, according to Venture Intelligence, which tracks such investments into the country. Still, this was below the $9.2 billion they invested in 2012, a decline that was in line with the slowdown in India's equity market.
However, Facebook's recent purchase of a little known Indian startup, Little Eye Labs, is providing fresh impetus to investors.
Four former top executives from some of India's biggest software companies are launching a new private equity fund, which will invest in nearly 15 startups in India.
V. Balakrishnan, the former chief financial officer and board member of India's second largest software outsourcing company Infosys, has tied up with three others to launch the 1.30 billion rupees ($20 million) private equity fund called Exfinity Fund.
Other members of Exfinity are T.V. Mohandas Pai, another former chief financial officer and board member at Infosys; Girish Paranjpe, former chief executive of India's third largest software exporter Wipro; and Deepak Ghaisas, former chief executive of iFlex Solutions, which was later bought over by Oracle.
Balakrishnan, who is the chairman of Exfinity and quit Infosys last December, spoke to the Wall Street Journal about his plans for the fund. Edited excerpts:
WSJ: How is Exfinity Fund different from the other PE funds?
Balakrishnan: There are a number of PE funds in India. But startups need specialized PE funds run by industry veterans who have the contacts to invest in them. With several years of experience, we have the knowledge of scaling up a business. Hence, we will be in a better position to identify companies, give capital and mentor them.
Most PE funds have not come up to the mark because they thought their job was only to provide capital. They don't know the nuances of the game.
WSJ: What kind of companies are you looking to invest in and how big will these investments be?
Balakrishnan: We are in the process of shortlisting companies in the information technology, mobility, cloud, analytics and specialized ecommerce sectors. These are emerging technologies and that is where we want to invest. The quantum of investment depends on the company. We would be investing at an early stage and first round. Eventually, we will exit when somebody buys us out.
WSJ: Are you planning to set up any other funds?
Balakrishnan: Both Pai and I are starting another fund of a similar size that will invest in midcap companies across different sectors. Separately, we are also looking at a hedge fund that will be smaller in size. The hedge fund will invest in futures and options.
WSJ: A large number of startup firms have mushroomed in India over the last two years. Does it suggest a bubble?
Balakrishnan: There is no bubble. In the last few years, none of the private equity players have managed to exit their investments. You can exit when someone comes and buys you out or you go for an IPO. Most of the companies are subscale and so they are not able to go for an IPO. Secondly, there were no buyouts by large companies. But in the recent past, we have seen Facebook buying an Indian company. So I think the environment is changing.
Also, India is becoming a hub of innovation. Even if you go to colleges today the dream of youngsters is not to join large companies. They are all willing to take risks with their ideas, run a start up firm. Their families are also backing it. That is a big change in the ecosystem of this country.

Horoscopes for week of November 13, 2008
The time for keeping the doors closed is passing. But it is not yet the right moment to fling them wide open. According to my reading of the omens, your best strategy is to keep doors ajar -- open just a crack, letting some air in and allowing a hint of your light to trickle out. This will discourage unfocused wanderers from barging in, while at the same time it encourages worthy candidates with a healthy curiosity to sneak peeks inside.
"There is a rose in Spanish Harlem," sings Ben E. King in his old pop ballad. "It is a special one/ It's never seen the sun/ It only comes out when the moon is on the run." King is fantasizing with longing about an alluring woman from a hardscrabble neighborhood. The rose is "growing in the street/ right up through the concrete" -- a delicate beauty blooming amidst tough conditions. Your assignment, Gemini, is to cultivate a connection with your equivalent of that rose.
Every second of your life, your bone marrow produces 100 trillion molecules of hemoglobin, the stuff that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of you. Meanwhile, every minute, your immune system begets 10 million lymphocytes, which are key players in your body's defenses. These are just two examples of the endless marvels you produce, Cancerian. You are a creator of the first order. You're a supreme maker and a generative genius. Remember that in the coming days. It will help you be confident and purposeful as you birth minor miracles and intimate wonders.
For decades the U.S. government has handed out far more welfare benefits to big corporations than to poor people. Companies like IBM, General Electric, Boeing, and others rake in over 100 billion dollars of subsidies each year. In other words, socialism has been a prominent feature of our so-called capitalist system for a long time. Recently, Karl Marx's influence has made even deeper inroads into the American way, with the government becoming part-owner of many banks in order to keep them solvent. Will any of this fantastic largesse be extended to us regular citizens, like maybe in the form of nationalized health care? I can't answer that. But I do know this, Leo: In the coming months, you will get help from powers that you regard as above and beyond you.
For many people, 10:30 a.m. is the single best time of day to come up with fresh insights and new ideas. But that won't exactly be true for you in the coming week. I mean, 10:30 will be a time when you're likely to be really smart, but then so will 11:30, 1:05, 2:37, 3:46, and 4:20. For that matter, 6:35 may also bring a gush of high intelligence, as well as 7:27, 8:19, and the last ten minutes before bedtime. What I'm trying to tell you, Virgo, is that you're in a phase when being brilliant should come pretty naturally.
Ruminate a minute about the people who don't see you for who you really are. Some of them are enemies, but others may be loved ones or allies. Consider the possibility that you have unconsciously bought in to their beliefs about you; that you are at least partially trapped in the habit of acting like the person they think you are. Now visualize what it would be like to free yourself from the images and expectations they have of you. Imagine the exhilaration you'd feel if you answered only to the still, small voice of your own lucid intuition. The coming weeks will be a good time for you to practice this high art.
The New York Times ran a story about philosopher Nick Bostrom. He believes there's a significant chance our world is actually a computer simulation. In his scenario, you and I are living in a version of The Matrix. Our "brains" are merely webs of computer circuits created by our post-human descendants, who are studying "ancestor simulations" of their past. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because it's an excellent time for you to find out, one way or another, whether Bostrom is correct. Right now you have a special talent for knowing what's real and what's not. You've also got a knack for escaping what's illusory and gravitating toward what's authentic. So even if you do find out that we're living in The Matrix, you could become a kind of messiah with resemblances to the character that Keanu Reaves played in the film trilogy.
In his book Signs of Success, astrologer Steven Weiss says "The question 'Do you believe in astrology?' is like asking someone if they believe in art." I agree. Picture a no-nonsense physicist gazing at a Kandinsky painting, with its teeming blobs of mad color and exuberant shapes, and declaring it to be a superstitious eruption of delusion that's not based on a logical understanding of the world. Like Kandinsky's perspective, astrology at its best roots us in the poetic language of the soul, and isn't blindly submissive to the values of the rational ego. It's here to liberate our imaginations and encourage us to think less literally and to visualize our lives as mythic quests. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because right now it's crucial that you spend some quality time in modes of awareness akin to Kandinsky's and astrology's.
Check out this excerpt from "Those Who Do Not Dance," by Chilean poet Gabriel Mistral: "God asked from on high, / 'How do I come down from this blueness?' / We told Him: /come dance with us in the light." I love this passage because it reminds me that nothing is ever set in stone: Everything is always up for grabs. Even God needs to be open to change and eager for fresh truths. Furthermore, even we puny humans may on occasion need to be God's teacher and helper. Likewise, we can never be sure about what lowly or unexpected sources may bring us the influences we require. What do Mistral's words mean to you, Capricorn? Imagine you're the "God" referenced in the poem. What blueness are you ready to come down from, and who might invite you to dance in their light?
All of the good works you do in the coming week will send ripples far and wide, but not all of them will be recognized and appreciated. I hope that's OK with you; I hope you won't get obsessed with trying to get all the credit you deserve. The fact is, your influences will be more effective and enduring if they are at least partially anonymous. Ironically, your power will be greater if it's not fully noticed.
Describing his writing class at Sarah Lawrence College, Jeffrey McDaniel says: "There are two kinds of humor: ha-ha humor that is light and airy and floats into the sky like a balloon, vanishing as the giggling subsides; and then there is a darker, heavier humor that is still there when the laughter stops, a humor that must be reckoned with, a humor with teeth." I suggest, Pisces, that you make the latter your specialty, your passion, and your medicine. Consort with belly laughs and sublime guffaws that rouse the ferocity you need in order to penetrate deeper into the heart of the Great Mystery.

Ben Affleck had to turn down the chance to direct the pilot of hit U.S. drama Homeland – because his actress wife Jennifer Garner was working on location.
Accepting the Career Achievement Award at the Casting Society of America's annual Artios Awards on Monday night in Beverly Hills, Affleck revealed he initially signed on to oversee the gripping drama, starring Claire Danes and Damian Lewis, but he had to pass due to a deal he has with his wife to always put family first.
The actor/director said, "I was sure nothing would happen with the show. Now I hate the f**king show. I've never seen it."
Libby Goldstein, who helped assemble the cast for Homeland, poked fun at Affleck during the awards ceremony by reading a poem she had written about his decision to step down as director.

Big Budget Feature (Drama) – The Help (Kerry Barden & Paul Schnee)
Big Budget Feature (Comedy) – Crazy, Stupid, Love (Mindy Marin & Kara Lipson)
Feature – Studio or Independent (Drama) – My Week With Marilyn (Deborah Aquila, Tricia Wood & Nina Gold)
(Location Casting)

MAGDALENA KOZENA Le belle immagini 4790365
An impressive CD . . . finds Magdalena Kozená giving first-rate performances of 13 arias. Whether her voice is a mezzo or a soprano, in 2001 it was in glorious condition. Seseo's arias from Mozart's "La clemenza di Tito" open and close the programme. Kozená ripples over the scales, long and short. "Ripples" is inappropriate für an aria from Myslivecek's "Antigona", a bravura display of wide intervals and fiendish coloratura, through which she darts, dashes and dazzles with stunning vocalism, with no aspirates. She does introduce a touch of breathiness to show anguish and despair . . . Idamante's "Il padre adorato" (Mozart's "Idomeneo") exemplifies Kozená's clean attack, but everything earns admiration, including the Prague Philharmonia's playing under Michel Swierczewski.

I once bought a vintage second-hand Prince Purple Rain tour t-shirt on eBay for £80. It felt like the most extravagant garment I'd ever bought at the time at a score short of £100 (and even more so when it actually arrived, stained and moth-eaten as it was). But £60,000 for a t-shirt? That's just madness. But that's almost what …

Love The Look: Kanye and Friends at Paris Menswear A/W 09
Paris Menswear Fashion Week began last Thursday and now that is has finished we are able to fully consider all the fashion inspiration from both on and off the runways. From Jefferson Hack and Alber Elbaz to male models and rake-thin boys wearing baggy cardies and vintage Chanel, the shows are an excuse for men to be outrageous and the results are often brilliant.

Dude! Grab your board and celebrate Stephen Sprouse
What's the betting that Kanye West wants one of these? He'll probably get one too, but for us laypeeps these are a little out of our price range- pretty sweet though. The uber exclusive Steven Sprouse x Louis Vuitton skateboards cost a whopping $8,250 and come with a wicked bad trunk. Released this week at Vuitton's SoHo flagship store, the skateboards and associated merchandise are all covered in the trademark Stephen Sprouse graffiti seen on the Marc Jacobs collaborated bag back in 2001.

After months of rumours and hipster-praying, Hypebeast has confirmed the rumour that Kanye West is to design a pair of trainers for Louis Vuitton.

The Air Yeezy, a bastardisation of Air Jordan's, Bapestars and pure evil from the mind of Mr West can be seen on the man himself, along with another Pastelle piece through the jump.

WISHLIST: MR P T-Shirt by Tim Lahan
As much as I hate label-whores and Louis Vuitton/Gucci-style designs that are made only for the monogram printed across them, I have to admit that my Sartorial 'id,' survives vicariously through Kanye West's 'Universecity' blog.
Often, we catch (not very) subtle glimpses of candy-coloured designer goods but sometimes we're treated to the odd indie-flash buy. Like this 'Mr P' t-shirt designed by Tim Lahan. It's quirky, fun, lighthearted and a piece that you could wear with anything.

- 1st January - Project completion. Participants should deliver final project release report.
The OWASP SoC 09 jury is constituted by the OWASP Board Members (Jeff Williams, Dave Wichers, Tom Brennan, Sebastien Deleersnyder and Dinis Cruz) plus respective Committee.
- The participant must create a roadmap for the project release that includes technical requirements, functional requirements, and quality requirements. Preference will be given to proposals that use the existing OWASP Beta and Stable requirements for quality supplemented with their own technical and functional requirements.
- There are two methods to select OWASP SoC 09 project releases:
- By direct majority vote by the Jury;
- By selection rating using the criteria defined below.
- Each project release will receive a rating from 1 to 5 on the following categories by each Jury. The final result will be the total value.
- On the Project Release:
- Complete status - What will be the final Completeness State? (According with the OWASP Assessment Criteria v2.0)
- Complexity - What is the project release Complexity and Size?
- Member Value - How big is the potential added value to OWASP Members?
- Brand Value - How big is the potential added value to the OWASP Brand?
- On the Candidate:
- Past Work - Value of past contributions to OWASP Projects;
- Deliverability - Proven capability to deliver;
- Quality of Proposal - Global quality of the proposal submitted.
- On the Project Release:
- Each project release will receive a rating from 1 to 5 on the following categories by each Jury. The final result will be the total value.
- Proposals are submitted using online form (with all details publicly posted)
- The participant should propose one reviewer (for details on the proposed reviewer responsibilities, see TDB see {assessment criteria reviewer role link})
- Each and every project release should have its SoC Project Release page always completely updated with all information regarding the project release status.
- The SoC Project Release's final deliveries will be evaluated by the assigned reviewers. However, the Jury will provide final oversight.
- Payments will be made, via Pay Pal, in two instalments, respectively 50% halfway and 50% on completion of the project release. (basically, if you do not deliver you will NOT be paid)
- By taking part on OWASP SoC 09, the participant will authorize OWASP to host and advertise without any limitations his participation and all related contents including proposal and all deliveries.
- All tools, documentation, or any other materials whatsoever, created by the participants within OWASP SoC 09 context must be released under an Open Source Initiative approved license. However, the participant may mirror development on her/his personal infrastructure at her/his option.
- Participants and OWASP is free to use the results, including code, of the SoC's 09 code in any way they choose provided it is not in conflict with the license under which the code was developed.
- Any situation arising not included in the above mentioned set of rules will be decided according to the discretionary judgement of OWASP Board.
- The initial Budget for SoC 09 will be US$90,000, and it is funded by OWASP.
- In parallel with the Request for Proposals, OWASP is also launching a sponsorship drive in which sponsors will have the option to choose which project releases they would like to support.
- The funds available will be allocated to select project releases. However, strong proposals will be accepted by majority vote of the OWASP Board before the final application selection. Remaining budget will be allocated to remaining applications.
- Note: The referred budget allocation is just a guideline and the final values will be adjusted based on the successful proposals.

Setting up a Windows system for building GHC
Installing the following will get you a working build environment with MSYS (alternatively, install Cygwin). For your convenience we've cached a working set of build tools that you can download. Note: do not install anything in a directory that contains spaces, because the GHC build system is not capable of handling paths with spaces in.
- First install a recent stable version of GHC.
- Install MSYS:
- http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32/MSYS-1.0.10.exe
- http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
- http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32/msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz (this is a tar file, which you have to unpack in
c:/msys/1.0, or wherever you installed MSYS. Note that you can't do that using an MSYS shell, because you can't overwrite the files in use, so make a copy of
c:/msys/1.0, unpack it there, and then rename the copy back to
- Install Python (version 2.6.2 is a good choice. 2.6.1 causes a problem with the test suite, and we don't support 3.x at this time).
The next three are just zip files, you can unpack them wherever you like, but you need to ensure that the programs can be found on your
PATH. I usually put all these in
c:/tools (NB. don't put them anywhere in
c:/msys, that's special).
- Install Happy: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32/happy-1.17.zip
- Install Alex: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32/alex-2.2.zip
- Install Haddock: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32/haddock-0.8-Win32.zip
- Install Darcs: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32/darcs.zip
Now set your
PATH. We recommend doing this by creating a file
.profile in your home directory (by default
c:/msys/1.0/home/<username>). The contents of your
.profile should be something like this:
Modify the above according to where you installed things, and change the GHC version appropriately.
Building documentation on Windows
Documentation is optional, but in order to build it in Windows you must currently use Cygwin (there isn't a working DocBook toolchain on MSYS as far as we know).
In the Cygwin installer, just install the complete
Doc category. You
may have to help
configure a little bit: Set the
environment variables
XmllintCmd and
XsltprocCmd to the paths of the Cygwin executables
xmllint and
respectively, and set
fp_cv_dir_docbook_xsl to the path
of the directory where the XSL stylesheets are installed,
If you want to build HTML Help, you have to install the
HTML Help SDK,
too, and make sure that
hhc is in your

The Vandalia seventh-grade volleyball team opened its season by finishing seventh at the Edwardsville Lincoln Tournament on Saturday.
Vandalia was 0-3 in pool play, but defeated Southwestern in the seventh-place match, 19-25, 25-21, 15-10.
Its opponents in pool play were:
•Edwardsville Liberty: 16-25, 22-25
•St. Norbert: 15-25, 13-25
•Lovejoy: 13-25, 21-25
Mindy Ritchey paced the Vandals with 25 service points and six service aces. Faye Etcheson had nine service points and five service aces.
The 2011 National Trail Conference boys basketball tournament will open with play-in games on Monday at Altamont.
St. Elmo, the No. 9 seed, will face eighth-seeded Beecher City at 5 p.m.
The Eagles defeated Beecher City, 77-65, on Dec. 17 at the St. Elmo Holiday Tournament.
The winner will face No. 1 Teutopolis on Tuesday at 6:15 p.m.
Brownstown drew the No. 11 seed and opens play at approximately 8 p.m. on Monday against No. 6 Stew-Stras.

South Central grad Isaac Grapperhaus has been coming off the bench about 50 percent of the time for the Illinois College men's basketball team. But if he keeps making field goals at his current rate, he'll probably be starting 100 percent of the time.
FARINA – The South Central High School boys basketball team used consistent scoring and got strong play from its bench players during a 64-31 win on Monday against Clay City/Noble in the first round of the Midland Trail Conference Tournament.
The seventh-seeded Cougars (5-13) ensured they didn't overlook the No. 10 Wolves by recording four steals and posting a 16-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. Senior Taylor Cain secured six of those points, while fellow seniors Derek Harmeier and Nathan Hill added four each.
Anthony Fladeland's return to the Vandalia High School wrestling team paid its first significant benefits on Saturday.
Sidelined until the Princeton Invite on Jan. 8 with an injury, Fladeland pinned Monticello's Dylan Benson in 2:49 to give the Vandals their first points against the Sages during a dual meet which they won, 49-24.
Before his match, Vandalia trailed 12-0 after junior Dayin Godberson was pinned with one second left in his match, and Sean Newcomb was pinned in the first round.
SANDOVAL – The Lady Vandals started slow, but displayed more consistency in the second half of a 52-39 defeat of Brownstown to win the consolation championship at the Sandoval Tournament on Saturday.
The Lady Bombers led by as much as six before Vandalia coach Michelle McNary called timeout with 3:38 left in the first quarter to give her team a very strong message.
The Vandalia High School boys basketball team had a tough week with an overtime loss to Greenville on Friday and a 32-point defeat to Teutopolis on Tuesday.
Coach Kevin Jackson said a loss against Teutopolis was not necessarily unexpected – given that they are one of the top teams in the state – but that a strong effort against the Wooden Shoes could have provided a lesson to the team.
Sloppy play, however, has Jackson planning to make adjustments to his starting five.

If you have ever turned or watched someone else turn, you know the process can be exciting. The shavings peel away and the piece takes shape as if by magic.
Although turning is one of the most straightforward ways of working wood, this seemingly simple process can be used to make a variety of things, far beyond the obvious staircase spindles, table legs and so on.
In the past 30 years, there has been an explosion of creativity in woodturning that once hardly could have been imagined. Exquisite bowls and vessels, sculptural pieces of every description and many works defying categorization are being made by people from every walk of life and of all ages.

'Total Recall' premiere - August 1st 2012
Looking dapper in head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana, Farrell's new movie is a remake of the 1990 Schwarzenegger cult classic of the same name. Directed by Len Wiseman and also starring Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston and John Cho, it follows factory worker Douglas Quaid who discovers he is a lean, mean, double agent killing machine after a routine memory implant operation uncovers memories of his former deadly life.
We've got all the shots from the red carpet above, including snaps of guests Ozzy, Sharon and Jack Osbourne.
'Total Recall' hits UK cinemas nationwide on 29 August 2012.

BEIJING – Four days into the most global of events, and surrounded by buildings which foster social harmony across all colors and creeds, Gasol had to apologize for the actions of a Spanish men's basketball team that made Asian "slant eyes†at the camera for a sponsor's advertisement and thinks it's OK.
Around him, his teammates and coaches reacted to the criticism homing in on them from around the world with a mixture of embarrassment, confusion and some mild defiance. The ad in question was for a Spanish courier company, Seur, but the Spanish team also counts the athletic shoe and apparel company owned by Li Ning – the former Chinese Olympian who lit the torch at this summer's Games – among its sponsors.
But Gasol got it. He didn't get it when the Spanish courier company persuaded the players to pose with their index fingers stretching their eyes to a thin slit at a team media day, but he sure as heck gets it now.
"Some of us didn't feel comfortable doing it just because to me it was a little clownish for our part to be doing that,†Gasol said. "But the sponsors insisted and insisted. I think it is just a bad idea I guess to do that, but it was never intended to be offensive or racist against anybody.
"I didn't find it very funny. I didn't find it offensive, either. I guess some guys didn't mind. To me I don't want to be that way, I guess, to be doing that stuff.
"If anybody feels offended by it we totally apologize for it. We never meant anything offensive by it.â€
The advertisement has regularly run as a full page in Spanish sports daily Marca soon after the picture was taken on July 1. However, it only came to prominence after it reached the attention of the Guardian newspaper in London this week.

The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department at University Hospital offers physical therapy services for the management of lymphedema. The program provides comprehensive care and assistance in the management of this lifelong problem.
Lymphedema is chronic swelling of a body part, generally the arm or leg. Often it occurs following cancer surgery and/or radiation. It may occur right away or many years later. Lymphedema can also be due to congenital abnormalities and may be present at birth, puberty or even mid life. It often begins with short term swelling of the hand, arm, leg or foot. The arm or leg may feel achy, heavy or full, and if left untreated it can become more swollen and firm. You should check your skin for signs of infection or redness. Contact your doctor if you develop any of these symptoms. Early treatment decreases the serious side effects of lymphedema and improves long term management.
A complete evaluation will include measurements of the affected areas, discussion of appropriate treatments and long term management, and compression options available. Evaluations typically last 45-60 minutes and treatments may be between 30-60 minutes.
The program may be appropriate for:
Services include:
Areas of teaching include neuroscience, adult neurological conditions and interventions, and acquired conditions of spinal cord injury, prosthetics and orthotics.
Clinical interests are focused in the areas of neurological evaluation and treatment for conditions of spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury (concussion), stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Intervention specialties include locomotor training with a bodyweight support system (Lokomat) and use of functional electric stimulation (FES).

BAGHDAD (AP) — Deadly violence erupted at a contentious Iranian exile camp inside Iraq early Sunday, leaving international observers scrambling to determine the cause of the bloodshed and the number of casualties.
The dissidents alleged that more than 50 were killed and accused the Iraqi government. Baghdad said an internal dispute was to blame. And the United Nations mission to Iraq, which has been closely involved in trying to find a viable long-term solution for the dissidents, acknowledges it does not have a clear picture what happened.
"The only thing we can confirm is there are a lot of casualties," said Eliana Nabaa, the spokeswoman for the U.N. mission to Iraq. "How, why, when? It's difficult to assess."
If the exiles' claims of the number of casualties are proved true, it would mark a stunning blow for the remaining core of Mujahedeen-e-Khalq members still living at Camp Ashraf. The Saddam Hussein-era community northeast of Baghdad had been home to only about 100 members of the MEK before Sunday's events.
The MEK opposes Iran's clerical regime and until last year was labeled a terrorist group by the United States. Thousands of other MEK members who had been living in Camp Ashraf agreed to move to a Baghdad-area camp last year. They remain stuck in a country that does not want them as a process to resettle them abroad slowly drags on.
A statement issued by the U.N. in New York said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon deplores events at Camp Ashraf that "reportedly left 47 killed," though the U.N. cautioned that figure had not been confirmed.
A spokesman for the MEK's parent organization, the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran, alleged that those killed died in a raid launched by Iraqi security forces early Sunday. The spokesman, Shahin Gobadi, said some of those killed were found with hands cuffed behind their backs.
Gobadi said that 52 people inside the camp were killed, and he provided photos allegedly from the scene that showed several people that appeared to have been killed with gunshots. It was not possible to independently verify the authenticity of the photos.
Iraqi officials offered conflicting accounts of what happened.
Ali al-Moussawi, a spokesman for Iraq's prime minister, said a preliminary investigation suggests several camp residents died as a result of infighting inside the facility. He denied that Iraqi forces were involved in the violence, and said authorities are still trying to determine the number of casualties.
Gobadi dismissed the government spokesman's claim as "preposterous" and "absolute lies."
Maj. Gen. Jamil al-Shimari, a provincial police chief in Diyala who oversees the external protection of the camp, reported at least 24 people killed. He said Iraqi forces stationed outside heard gunshots coming from inside the camp, and said there appeared to be "some kind of struggle among the residents." He denied involvement and said his forces at no point entered the camp itself.
An intelligence official involved in helping secure the perimeter of the camp reported 19 killed, and said the clashes involving Iraqi forces broke out when camp residents tried to attack them. A police official in Diyala province, where Camp Ashraf is located, offered a similar casualty figure. They agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
The United Nations and the United States both condemned the violence, though neither ascribed blame.
"The priority for the Iraqi government is to provide immediate medical assistance to the injured and to ensure their security and safety against any violence from any side," said Gyorgy Busztin, the acting U.N. envoy to Iraq.
Busztin said that the U.N. mission "is using all possible means to conduct its own assessment of the situation."
The U.S. condemned the attack and voiced support for the U.N.'s fact-finding efforts, demanding that those found responsible be held accountable and urging Baghdad to aid camp residents.
"We further call on Iraqi authorities to act with urgency to immediately ensure medical assistance to the wounded and to secure the camp against any further violence or harm to the residents," the State Department said in a statement.
The MEK fought alongside Iraqi forces in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, and several thousand of its members were granted sanctuary inside Iraq by Saddam. The group renounced violence in 2001 and was taken off the U.S. terrorism list last September.
Iraq's current Shiite-led government, which has strengthened ties with neighboring Shiite powerhouse Iran, considers the MEK's presence in Iraq illegal and wants its followers out of the country. It has been working with the U.N. to resettle MEK members, but the process has been slow.
Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard welcomed news of the MEK members' deaths, which it called "divine revenge." In its statement, carried by the official IRNA news agency, the Guard noted the MEK's alliance with Saddam and expressed hope that their deaths would please the relatives of their past victims.
Iranian state television took note of the attack too, reporting at one point that 23 MEK members were killed by "the Iraqi people and mujahedeen." It gave no sources for the information and didn't air any footage.
Previous Iraqi raids on the camp, including one in April 2011, claimed dozens of lives.
Camp Ashraf was once home to more than 3,000 MEK followers, but most moved to a former U.S. military base on the outskirts of Baghdad last year while the U.N. works to resettle them abroad.
The Baghdad-area camp, known as Camp Liberty, has since been targeted by militants in rocket attacks that have killed 10 people and injured many more, according to the MEK.
The MEK last month accused the Iraqi authorities of deliberately cutting off water and electricity to Camp Ashraf, a charged denied by Georges Bakoos, who oversees the MEK issue for the Iraqi government.
He said in an interview last week that authorities would be moving ahead with court proceedings to evict the last Camp Ashraf holdouts, possibly as soon as in the next few weeks.
Bakoos could not be reached for comment Sunday.
A total of 162 MEK members have been resettled abroad so far, mostly in Albania.
Associated Press writer Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad and Nasser Karimi in Tehran, Iran, contributed reporting.

The Senate's delay on Chuck Hagel's nomination to be defense secretary is giving outgoing Pentagon chief Leon Panetta a bigger megaphone and more time to wage his outspoken campaign against automatic spending cuts he warns would "hollow out" the military.
The Senate Armed Services Committee abruptly put off until next week a planned Thursday vote on Hagel's nomination amid Republican demands for more information. Republicans have questioned the former Republican Nebraska senator's statements and votes on Israel, Iran and nuclear weapons. Instead, the panel heard from a still-working Panetta. The Pentagon holds his farewell ceremony Friday, but he won't actually leave until Hagel is confirmed.
A seasoned in-fighter after four decades of government service, Panetta knows how to make persuasive arguments. And lately he's been making a concentrated case — in Sunday TV news shows, high-profile speeches and congressional testimony — against the Pentagon's share of mandatory spending cuts set to hit government-wide March 1.
"I cannot imagine that people would stand by and deliberately hurt this country in terms of our national defense by letting this take place," Panetta told the committee. He said the "sequestration" cuts could quickly turn the U.S. "into a second-rate power."
A day earlier, the Pentagon announced it was cutting its aircraft carrier presence in the volatile Persian Gulf region from two to one because of budget constraints.
Committee Chairman Carl Levin, R-Mich., thanked Panetta for his "clarion call."
Neither party wants to jeopardize national security, but they can't find common ground on avoiding the cuts. Republicans don't want to raise taxes, while Democrats want a "balanced" mix of spending cuts and closing tax loopholes.
Speaking Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Barack Obama appealed to the gathering of leaders to maintain the morning's bipartisan spirit a little longer to find "the common ground ... to take real and meaningful action."
Panetta said he favors a balanced, common-ground approach, but at this point might welcome anything that would just stop the cuts.
