2001 Dignitas Humana Award
Fr. Gregory Boyle, SJ, Receives 2001 Dignitas Humana Award
The Rev. Gregory J. Boyle, SJ is a Jesuit priest who is Founder and Director of Jobs For A Future / Homeboy Industries, and employment referral center and economic development program for at-risk and gang-involved youth, located in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. Previously, Father Boyle was Pastor of Dolores Mission Church from 1986-1992. Dolores Mission is the poorest church in the Los Angeles Catholic Archdiocese. The parish is comprised of the largest public housing developments west of the Mississippi (Pico Gardens and Aliso Village). These housing projects have the highest concentration of gang activity in the entire city.
Father Boyle has worked tirelessly to provide love and support for kids whose homes are so emotionally impoverished or destructive that they join gangs in search of a surrogate family. He believes that community involvement is essential to bring about change and he emphasizes the importance of not giving up hope.
Father Boyle is well known for his work with Latino gangs in Los Angeles. He founded "Jobs for a Future" and "Homeboy Industries" as creative, practical opportunities for those caught in gang culture to break out of their world of violence. Boyle has his finger on the pulse of contemporary youth and the challenges we face as a culture.
Father Boyle's message challenges "adults to invest their time into kids. Just say yes to kids. Adults need to empower kids who have no hope."

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The popular Turkish singer Muslum Gurses, adored by many for his melancholic, Arabic-inspired songs, has died. He was 59.
Deniz Sener, a cardiologist at Istanbul's Memorial Hospital said the singer, nicknamed "Muslum Baba" or "Papa Muslum," died of heart failure on Sunday. He had been hospitalized since by-pass surgery in November.
Gurses, who recorded more than a dozen albums, was best known for his mournful tunes blending Turkish folk instruments with Arabic melodies. Some fans have been so enthralled by his songs they earned a reputation for cutting themselves with razor blades at his concerts.
He had acquired a cult following among the young with his interpretation of Turkish pop and rock sounds.
Gurses is survived by his wife. His funeral was scheduled for Monday in Istanbul.

This week's episode of the Filmation 1970s series Ark II, called "Don Quixote," follows roughly the same outline as the episode "Robin Hood."
Only here, the crew of the titular vehicle encounters literary and mythic personalities who are not merry men, but rather based on Cervantes' The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (1605).
Only here, the crew of the titular vehicle encounters literary and mythic personalities who are not merry men, but rather based on Cervantes' The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (1605).
Specifically, Jonah, Ruth, Samuel and Adam cross paths with two post-apocalyptic personalities who knowingly have cast themselves as the chivalrous Quixote and his loyal squire, Sancho.
The conflict of the week occurs when this (confused) new age Quixote sees Jonah not as a hero, but as his most dangerous nemesis, the Black Knight himself. Thus Quixote seeks to interfere with Jonah's mission to detonate two un-exploded pre-apocalypse bombs in an ancient battle area.
Adding some comic relief to the episode, Quixote also sees the talking chimpanzee, Adam, as a damsel he can protect and love, Lady Marguerite.
Finally, Quixote is recruited to the Ark II's noble cause when the crew contextualizes the un-exploded bomb as a "serpent" the knight must defeat in combat. Quixote actually proves helpful too, during the climax, because his metal knight's armor can help to limit the range and power of an explosion, if one should occur.
Played more lightly than "Omega," and "Robot," and without the sharp social commentary of "The Cryogenic Man," this installment of the Saturday morning series wouldn't rank among the show's best.
Nor is it the worst, however.
The final message of "Don Quixote is something akin to "use your imagination, but also see things through the eyes of others." That's appropriately didactic for children. Yet it's probably even more commendable that Ark II would name-check Don Quixote in the first place, no doubt causing a spate of little ones to ask their parents about the character and his story, or perhaps even visit a nearby library to find out even more about him.
I must say, I appreciate the fact that over its run, Ark II has showcased a very literary, cerebral bent, alluding to Scripture, Dickens, the Robin Hood legends and Cervantes. That's an unexpected (adult) pleasure of revisiting the Saturday morning series today.
Next week, the final Ark II episode: "Orkus."

Lily Allen
We love a good mashup (The Doors/Blondie fusion Rapture Rider was our myspace song), so naturally we've been feeling the style sense of London's Lily Allen. Her chav couture taste blends girly-girl (vintage dresses, Marc Jacobs handbags) with hip-hop (Nike Air Max 90's and gold chains). We're not the only ones who are noticing. After Karl Lagerfeld flew Ms. Allen to the spring Chanel show in Paris, the UK press has speculated that she may be the fashion house's new face (we're not so sure about that but, we love her anyway). The august and haute Lagerfeld working with outspoken and street Allen? Now that would be a mashup for the books.

Abortion issue to be debated at House hearings
Staff reports
CONCORD - Opposing sides on the abortion issue are gearing up for two bills that will be heard today, one rejected by the legislature last year.
House Resolution 6 commemorates and affirms the 40th anniversary of the U.S. Surpeme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.
"I am shocked that the representatives of New Hampshire would dedicate time to proposing, testifying and supporting a non-binding piece of legislation that is so controversial and contrary to the fundamental right to life," said Ashley Pratte, executive director of Cornerstone Action. "Commemorating a controversial decision that still creates division among Americans today is irresponsible and only intensifies the political gridlock that already exists."
But National Abortion Rights Action League Pro-Choice New Hampshire praised the resolution.
"After two years of out-of-touch, anti-choice legislators wagging unprecedented attacks on women's health and privacy, now is the time for our legislators to stand with New Hampshire's pro-choice majority and recognize the importance of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court Decision and reaffirm their commitment to ensuring continued access to safe and legal abortion care for all women," said Sara Persechino, policy and community relations director of NARAL NH.
The House Health and Human Services Committee holds a public hearing on the bill at 1 p.m. in Room 205 of the Legislative Office Building.
Last year the Senate killed what is called the informed consent bill that would have required a woman to wait 24 hours before having an abortion and required her doctor to provide her with information about abortion and the procedure.
A nearly identical bill, House Bill 483 has a public hearing before the House Judiciary Committee at 1:30 p.m. in Room 208 of the LOB.
"It is critical that informed consent statutes exist in New Hampshire because it allows women who choose to undergo an extensive procedure to know what the consequences are," said Pratte. "Every human being has a right to know the dangers and threats associated with any operation or surgery. Abortion is no different, and women should not be denied this right."
But Persechino said the bill would force health care providers to give women state-maintained, ideologically driven materials before an abortion and require the 24-hour wait.
"Government interference in women's medical decision is not the New Hampshire way," she said. "In the past 15 years, out-of-touch legislators have introduced seven similar biased counseling and waiting period mandates. Each and every time, New Hampshire legislators have rejected these attempts to place politicians between women and the health care services they need."

The epitaph for Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach of the Bears could read, "He couldn't fix the offense."
For all the good things Smith did in his nine years in Chicago, his undoing was his inability to take care of the side of the ball in which he had no background.
The Bears fired Smith on Monday after a 10-6 season. They started 7-1 but fell apart down the stretch, mostly because they couldn't score.
Some Bears players took the news hard. Devin Hester, who blamed media and fans for Smith's firing, was visibly crushed as he cleaned out his locker at Halas Hall following a brief team meeting in which Smith addressed his players.

Snow, Wind, Flooding Expected To Hit NJ
Forecasters say a trifecta of winter weather is hitting New Jersey over the next few days.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for extreme northwestern areas, where anywhere from four to eight inches is expected to fall. The snow also could mix with sleet and freezing rain at times.
Heavy rainfall will produce a threat of inland flash flooding across area creeks and streams with minor to moderate river flooding possible along main stem river. Minor coastal flooding is likely along the Atlantic Coast, Delaware Bay & Raritan Bay. Moderate coastal flooding is possible.
Central and southern New Jersey could see between two and three inches of rain from the storm. A flood watch issued for those areas will likely be in effect through Thursday morning.
And if that isn't enough, a high wind warning has been issued for most of the state, with gusts expected to reach as high as 50 mph.
After a respite Friday, snow may return to the area Saturday.
And if that isn't enough, a wind advisory has been issued for the same time period as gusts are expected to reach as high as 50 mph.

Northern California event had many stars
BERKELEY, Calif. - His nickname is "Tiny" but it's clearly a joke because Viliami Moala from Sacramento (Calif.) Grant is anything but small - in stature and reputation.
Moala, who measured in at 6-foot-1 ½, 326-pound, was the biggest and one of the best-looking prospects at Saturday's Rivals.com Five-Star Academy held at the University of California.
The defensive tackle is big and strong and plays with a mean streak. That's why he's one of the highest-profile recruits on the West Coast.
"I never used to talk a lot and when I started speaking people found out I had a soft voice," said Moala, explaining his nickname. "They used to tell me I didn't sound too big."
Moala, who is mainly hearing from Pac-10 schools, said he has no favorites but that Southern Cal has offered, Cal is showing a lot of interest and that Arizona, Arizona State, Washington and Washington State are involved. An early decision is not expected.
There were a bunch of standout running backs in attendance, including Stanford commit Amir Carlisle, Livermore (Calif.) Granada's George Atkinson III and Lodi, Calif., prospect Jordan Perkins, who could be closing in on offers from South Florida, Washington and Washington State.
Atkinson (6-foot-1 ¾, 194 pounds) is an intriguing prospect because he's being recruited as a running back, wide receiver and defensive back. He recently picked up an offer from Notre Dame, which likes him at wide receiver, and said Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Arizona and Illinois are others that stand out.
While Atkinson and Perkins, who said Stanford remains his top choice and he almost committed to the Cardinal before deciding to slow things down, are still trying to figure out their recruitment, Carlisle put a quick end to it by committing to Stanford in late June.
Other schools have offered and many are still pursuing him, but Carlisle said an early commitment has helped him keep focused.
"It's been a blessing," said Carlisle, who measured in at 5-foot-9 ¾ and 175 pounds. "I prayed about it and it was the right decision. It's taken out a lot of that extra recruiting stuff. My mindset has been clear."
Concord (Calif.) De La Salle was well represented by defensive end Dylan Wynn, who has offers from Oregon State, Washington State and Cal Poly, linebacker Blake Renaud (Minnesota offer) and 2012 quarterback Bart Houston, one of the best-looking rising juniors at the event.
Nebraska and Cal are showing increased interest in Wynn, a muscular and well-developed defensive end who could also play linebacker. He checked in at 6-foot-2 ½ and 234 pounds. Arizona, UCLA and Oregon have been in contact with Houston, who measured at 6-foot-3 ½ and 186 pounds. He threw for 1,257 yards with 10 touchdowns and two interceptions last season and has the tools to be one of the best in the West in the 2012 class.
Oregon State is the latest school to offer Jordan Rigsbee and UCLA is showing more interest but the Chico (Calif.) Pleasant Valley offensive lineman still has a top three of Cal, Oregon and Boise State.
His brother, Tyler, plays for the Golden Bears and Rigsbee said that familiarity helps but he still will visit his two other favorites and keep them in consideration.
"I'm looking at it pretty evenly," Rigsbee said.
"I'm just trying to go where it's best for me. It is more comfortable with all the guys here, I know all the guys here at Cal, so that makes it more comfortable for me here but I'll try to get to know everyone at the other schools and make my decision."
Danville (Calif.) Monte Vista offensive lineman Jacob Welter has an Ohio offer but he has an extensive travel schedule through the summer which will take him to the Midwest, East Coast and possibly to some Pac-10 schools. The 6-foot-4 ½, 291-pound prospect said UCLA recently contacted him and he's definitely interested in the Bruins.
Other recruits who made an impression were Petaluma (Calif.) Casa Grande pro-style quarterback Nick Sherry, who measured in at 6 feet 4 and 211 pounds; Santa Maria (Calif.) Maria Carrillo running back Sam Atoe, one of the more muscular recruits at the event; towering offensive lineman Brian Moran, a 6-foot-7 ½, 311-pound prospect from Atherton (Calif.) Sacred Heart Prep; and Fairfield (Calif.) Vanden pro-style quarterback Ben Scott, a 2012 recruit.
Two other linemen who stood out were Sacramento (Calif.) Inderkum's Nathan Falo, who has offers from Boise State and Washington State, and Berkeley, Calif., prospect Isaiah Henderson, who both were around 300 pounds.

About Terry Rose
Terry Rose is a painter whose works are the product of both careful planning and chance. His latest and best-known works are made using a wet-on-wet technique developed after arduous experimentation. Rose coats a surface with wet varnish, then drops in oils, inks, mirror pigments, and enamels, and lets the pigments react with the liquid medium. The chemical reactions create the final image on the work, which appears to be a collection of colors bleeding, blurring, expanding, or sliding around the work's surface. Rose's practice is influenced by eastern philosophies and spirituality—such as Buddhism, and the principle of wu wei (or "non-doing") in Daoism—which is suggested in his works' titles.

Feb 15, 2013
When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to wake up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons. There was an awesome lineup back then. In this week's Free App Rundown we are going to talk about games based on Saturday morning cartoons. While there are paid games out there like The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man, the games in this list are free. Let's take a look.
Batman Dash
In this 2D side scroller, it's up to Batman to save the city. Jump and collect coins to buy upgrades at the store. Attacking a few enemies with some swift action packed moves is what makes Batman who he is. This 16-bit style game is great for spending a little time away from games that are all about the graphics. Head back to the simpler days when there was only a jump and an action button to use.
Smurfs' Village
The Smurfs are some of those mythical creatures who are only 2 apples high who have a single word that means just about anything depending on the context it's used. In Smurfs' Village, the goal is to build a Smurf village. Start from scratch and make it the best village ever. Play parts of the game as some of the more popular Smurfs, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Lazy Smurf and more.
Garfield's Defense 2
Garfield seems like he is always in some kind of mess. When the aliens come to earth and try to take the yummy food, our favorite orange cat and friends are there to stop them. Play as Garfield, Odie or Nermal and get into this global food fight. Using food as a weapon, there are a lot of aliens to lick. Get to it.
Transformers Memory Game 3
The Transformers are one of those cartoons that made a successful transition to the big screen. Because of that they are everywhere. This memory game has all of the popular original Transformers as cards. Match them to win. While some people scoff at simple memory games, they really do help improve basic memory.

bugs bunny shooting
Remember when hunting games were simple and didn't have all the realistic aspects like calculating for wind and using high-powered scopes to pick off a target thousands of yards away? Bugs bunny shooting is like a time machine taking us back to the simpler times if hunting and shooting games. It's like the Bugs Bunny equivalent to Duck Hunt.

When Alfred Tennyson wrote "ring out the old, ring in the new," the English poet was referring to the pealing of church bells to mark the beginning of a new year. It is also a Japanese tradition to strike the temple bell on December 31, but these days Tennyson's phrase could just as easily be applied to the ringside bell at the Dynamite!! New Year's Eve fight-sport extravaganza.
Over the last five years, K-1 Premium Dynamite!! has become one of the most widely-watched television productions in Japan, with estimates of up to 30 million viewers. This is fight-sport entertainment for the entire family, and tomorrow's lineup is designed for maximum appeal. The evening's 15 fights will feature wily veterans and wide-eyed teens; popular television "tarento" and foreign behemoths; and yes, more than a few match ups aimed at martial arts purists.
Seven bouts will be fought under Hero's Rules (mixed martial arts), and eight under K-1 Rules (stand-up).
The Dynamite!! 2007 fighters met with the media this afternoon at the Osaka Imperial Hotel, to share their thoughts in advance of tomorrow night's Kyocera Dome showdown.

10 Places I Don't Want to Go on Vacation
Everyone is worried about the economy right now. As a concerned citizen, I appreciate every effort made to increase employment. I'm all for the FDR approach, employ people to dig holes and then hire someone else to fill them back up. That's a quote of his, right?
However, I think a field with ten million holes might be a little more fun than the plan being put in to place in Kentucky. Seriously, you could have one hell of a game of hide-and-seek. Or each hole could be like it's own little universe. Go down one hole and you're at the bottom of the ocean, go down another and you've made it China (who doesn't want to dig to China?), down another and you meet a tripped out catepillar and floating cat. Honestly, this is becoming a great idea, I hope Indiana's Governor is taking note.
Sorry, back to Kentucky. While I'd visit Hole Land anytime, I'm not sure that I'll be traveling to Grant County, Kentucky for the Ark Encounter. The Governor there has loaded up tax incentives on a company building a Bible-based theme park, complete with Noah's ark replica, a Tower of Babel and special effects showing Moses and the 10 plagues. While I'm all for making religious education fun and exciting, I just don't think that me and my family want to take a walk through the Old Testament. For those of you interested in touring this unique theme park, there's also a Creationist Museum close by. Just so you know.
In the spirit of Kentucky and their great big boat, I've put together a slide show of some other tourist attractions that I'm not interested in visiting. Call me old fashioned, but maybe we'll just head to Disney World.[ITPGallery]

By Taylor Fortney
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
"I had always wanted to give back to the community," Custred said. "They had given me as a baseball player so much, by coming to the games and supporting everything we do. I just wanted to find a way to give back, and this was the perfect opportunity. It was more than I ever could of hoped for to have happened."
Custred is a part of a non-profit organization called Play It Forward USA. Started in late 2011, the mission of the organization is "to collect gently used sporting equipment and apparel, and donate them to families of need in our community."
"It all started with one of my good friends having a serious back injury and was out of baseball for a while," Custred said. "He missed it, missed playing baseball so he thought of ways he could help the community out while he was hurt. He came up with the idea of getting equipment to people who can't afford it so they could play the sports they love."
The group of high school baseball players from Keller, Texas had humble beginnings. That didn't discourage them, however, or the people who they reached out to for initial donations.
"We started small," Custred said. "We went door to door, asking our neighbors if they had any extra equipment that they're not using, for any sport. We actually got a lot of equipment, probably around $1,000 to $2,000 of equipment just doing that. That was really helpful to start off."
The organization would soon find its first major beneficiary, when a fire burned through a local warehouse.
"What really put us on the map was a team from Oak Cliff (near Dallas) called down and said their warehouse burnt down," Custred said. "They needed any kind of football equipment. Through a fundraiser, we got it around that we needed a bunch of football equipment and the whole neighborhood and community showed up and we got a bunch of equipment."
Play It Forward was a resounding success, and Custred pointed to the reactions of the people as the reward for helping out.
"We ended up oversupplying them, so they would be good for years to come," he said. "And the look on the kids' faces was all that we needed to know we were doing the right thing."
Custred and the rest of Play It Forward turned a potential tragedy into a positive, and began to grow the organization to reach further into the community.
"After that we got a lot of help from everywhere," Custred said. "We co-partnered with an organization called the Pro Players Foundation, so we had all kinds of professional athletes, which was really cool, and it just took off from there. We have a big warehouse with all kinds of equipment (baseball, football, tennis, basketball), and it has gone pretty well."
Custred is quick to mention that while he loves and plays baseball, Play It Forward provides equipment without discrimination, supplying any and all sports.
"We started off thinking it would just be baseball," he said. "But then we thought, 'if we're going to go somewhere to get equipment, why not get all kinds of equipment and help out everybody?'"
Like many athletes, Custred is driven by his love of the game, and continually points to that as being the reason for his service.
"I can't imagine myself not playing baseball because I can't afford to play," Custred said. "If they can't afford it, and that is what is keeping them from playing the sport they love, we will give it to them within a heartbeat. That shouldn't be what comes between something you love and something you want to do."
Despite being just a sophomore at Texas Tech, Custred exhibits a maturity that goes beyond his 20 years of age.
"[Coming to Tech] really put things in perspective for me," Custred said. "And how extremely lucky I am, and how much God has been there to help me out through the times. Just being out there and knowing only about five percent of the world gets to do what I do is the best feeling in the world."
Custred continues to put that perspective to good work, giving back to the community despite being away from home.
"It's tough for me because we are more located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area," Custred said. "But I get calls all the time about kids, whose parents may not be able to afford football pads. So I'll make a call down to Keller and say I need pads, pants, and a helmet, and tell them where to take it, and it will be there that day or the next."
This humanitarianism is what has vaulted Play It Forward onto the national, and even global, scale. According to its website, Play It Forward recently helped out and donated equipment in areas such as Africa, Haiti, and Honduras.
And while they are able to help globally, the chapters are still located in Texas. This is the area Custred speaks about improving.
"We really wanted to branch out to more than just Texas or Dallas/Fort Worth area," Custred said. "Our major goal is to branch out through the USA and for people to have branches from Texas to Chicago to California, so that way not only people in Texas can play the sports they love. It's everywhere."
To accomplish this goal, Play It Forward collects as much equipment as they can, and can then redistribute it where it needs to go.
"We take in all equipment," Custred said. "Even if it is a glove without laces, we will take it and relace it ourselves. We are going to fix it up and make it look and function as brand new as possible."
Play It Forward is driven by donations, and Custred invites any and everyone to look up the organization, and help out if needed.
"The website is www.playitforwardusa.org," Custred said. "You can go there and there is a link with contact info, so you can send us an email or give us a call, and we can definitely help you out."
Custred continues to use his role as a pitcher for Texas Tech to his advantage to further help others.And just like every time he records a strikeout, Custred gets the assist.

Words by Mr Yale Breslin
When our conversation turns to the process of buying a scent, Mr Carlos Huber, the founder of perfumer Arquiste, has simple advice: "Don't be afraid of florals." With a background in architectural design, the Mexico City-born entrepreneur launched his line of niche fragrances that "transport you to another place and time". Currently in the process of mixing his seventh scent, Mr Huber's goal is to preserve time and history with his creations. From his childhood memories of buying flowers for his mother to the Palace of Versailles, he's masterfully created a series of time capsules that translate into intoxicating smells. Here, he fills us in on finding the perfect white tee, the proper way to apply aftershave, and why a floral base can more often than not be the most masculine scent of all.
Scent defines what's around me and what is going on in my life. It's just like music and art - the purpose is to enrich your life
Mr Huber launched his debut collection, above, in New York in September 2011
The stories you can tell based on your shoes are quite remarkable. Kind of like, 'If these shoes could talk...'

BERLIN, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- German President Christian Wulff held a conference on Friday, marking the 70th anniversary of the decision made by Nazi officials to exterminate the Jews.
Voice of America reported the conference was to remember the Wannsee Conference on Jan. 20, 1942, near Berlin, where Nazi officials adopted the "final solution to the Jewish question."
Wulff told attendees it is important never to forget the "unbelievable and unimaginable" mass killing of the 6 million Jews during World War II.
On that afternoon in 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reich Security Head Office, invited 15 high-ranking Nazi officials to a guesthouse in the Wannsee suburb of Berlin.
While the meeting's minutes do not mention any formal agreement on the matter, Humbodlt University historian Michael Wildt believes the meeting was intended as a way for Heydrich to inform officials of a plan that was already under way.
"Due to military conquest, the National Socialist regime suddenly had millions of Jews within its sphere of influence. As a result, its plans on how to get rid of these Jews became more monstrous, more gigantic," he told Deutsche Welle.

Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runoff.
Implement a stormwater management plan that reduces impervious cover, promotes infiltration, and captures and treats the stormwater runoff from 90% of the average annual rainfall using acceptable best management practices (BMPs).
BMPs used to treat runoff must be capable of removing 80% of the average annual post development total suspended solids (TSS) load based on existing monitoring reports. BMPs are considered to meet these criteria if (1) they are designed in accordance with standards and specifications from a state or local program that has
adopted these performance standards, or (2) there exists in-field performance monitoring data demonstrating compliance with the criteria. Data must conform to accepted protocol (e.g., Technology Acceptance Reciprocity Partnership [TARP], Washington State Department of Ecology) for BMP monitoring.

Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth silence split rumours
Singer/actress Miley Cyrus and her fiance Liam Hemsworth proved their romance is still going strong on Monday after stepping out together for the first time since January.
The stars' relationship has come under intense scrutiny amid persistent reports suggesting they are on the verge of a split, but they showed no signs of trouble in Los Angeles, where they were photographed heading out to the ArcLight Cinemas for a low-key movie date.
Cyrus, who was pictured still wearing her engagement ring, held on to her man's arm as he led the way past the crowd of paparazzi and guided her into the theatre, reports Eonline.com.
The images are the first shots of the couple back together since Cyrus and Hemsworth were spotted on vacation in Costa Rica earlier this year.
The Hunger Games hunk, who proposed last summer, recently returned to Los Angeles after spending time with his family in his native Australia.

Connecting people is one of the great things technology does. And JobProx, a proposed mobile app and service, does just this by allowing recruiters or hiring managers to be notified when qualified job seekers are nearby because the app is always running in the background of a user's device.
App users can, by making themselves available through the proximity feature, show more than just their resumes -- they can also show their faces through the JobProx video conference.
Though a novel concept, the project has met limited success on IndieGogo, with nearly all of it's $10,000 goal unfunded and just days left to meet that goal.
As technology advances, more and more of the annoyances that use to exist are becoming but faint memories. Take dial-up Internet. After that one bit the dust, users no longer had to worry about logging out to use the phone or keeping track of usage to prevent receiving an enormous dial-up bill in the mail. Operating systems are becoming more intuitive, and increasingly more software processes that once required manual programming are now completed automatically and instantly.
One thing that hasn't yet been sorted out, however, is power cables. They're still a mess, and they're still necessary. So one company created a phone charging cable that eliminates the mess. Wireless power may someday be a reality, but until that wonderful, carcinogenic day, there's Trunk, a short posable cord for your iPhone that can't get tangled.
Trunk can be bent in various positions and used as both a charger and a stand. It can be used in the car as a phone holder, or as a deco-art piece on your desk. It connects to your laptop's USB port and remains upright, allowing you to see the screen with ease. And perhaps most importantly, it won't get tangled, because, well ... it can't.
With broadband Internet and untangleable phone chargers, we should all be sure to hug an engineer the next time we see one.
Though the M.O.U.S.9 Wireless Mouse is designed for gamers, the device was crafted with everyday use in mind: It features a laser sensor that can track on virtually any surface -- even glass.
Not only does the M.O.U.S.9 look somewhat like a racey sports car (who doesn't want to liven up their desk a bit?), but it's also quite functional. The various buttons can be programmed for such things as readymade profiles for Adobe creative suite and Windows office, and users can customize their own commands with a simple drag and drop system.
This fancy mouse, made by Mad Catz, is available at various retail outlets, and ranges in price from about $113 to nearly $190.

A New Robot for the Deep Frontier
Hybrid vehicle will enable scientists to reach the deepest trenches
If the engineers of WHOI's Deep Submergence Laboratory have their way, Americans will soon return to a remote environment they have not visited since the 1960s: the deepest trenches of the world's oceans.
Associate Scientist Dana Yoerger and Research Specialist Andy Bowen, along with Johns Hopkins University Associate Professor Louis Whitcomb, are developing a "hybrid" remotely operated vehicle (HROV), a battery-powered robot that will take scientists as deep as 11,000 meters (nearly 7 miles) below the ocean's surface. The National Science Foundation, U.S. Navy, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently awarded the team $5.5 million to build the novel vehicle, which will be part autonomous, free-swimming robot and part tethered ROV.
Though the oceans average two miles in depthwell within the range of several ROVs, including WHOI's Jason IIthe deepest reaches such as the Mariana Trench in the Western Pacific can plunge almost 36,000 feet. These regions comprise just a few percent of the ocean floor, but they contain some of the most active earthquake zones.
Americans have visited the deepest seafloor only once, when Lieutenant Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard descended to the Challenger Deep in 1960 in the Navy bathyscaphe Trieste. The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology sent its ROV Kaiko to the bottom of that trench in 1995. But Kaiko was lost during a storm in 2003, so today there are no operational vehicles that can reach the deepest parts of the ocean.
"Having access to these very deep and remote areas will open up whole worlds to the scientific community," said seafloor geologist Patty Fryer of the University of Hawaii. "We will be able to ask questions we never could ask before, and we will be able to go collect the evidence to answer them."
Unlike other remotely operated vehicles,
the HROV can be reconfigured in the midst of a scientific expedition to operate
in different modes: a free-swimming vehicle for mapping and broad surveys, and
a tethered ROV for close-up sampling and imaging. By design, the HROV will be
compact enough (roughly 10 feet by 7 feet by
7 feet) for quick deployment from virtually any ship in the world, allowing rapid response to interesting geophysical events such as volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.
"We are going to investigate an environment that is essentially unexplored," said Yoerger, head of the Deep Submergence Lab. "We often talk about surveying the seafloor with various tools in a methodical mannerwe call it 'mowing the lawn.' In this case, we will be mowing the lawn where the grass has never been cut. We don't even know if there is grass!"
HROV will require several novel technologies to reach its goals. To overcome the tremendous pressure at extreme depths, the engineering team must work with special ceramic housings for their equipment. "In very simple terms, it's strength versus weight," said Bowen. Titanium has generally been used for pressure housings, but it would be about five times heavier than a ceramic housing. They must fend off 16,000 pounds per square inch of pressure without creating a vehicle that is too large to handle and too expensive to build.
The engineering team needs to not only reach the deepest seafloor, but maneuver when they get there. Traditional ROV cables and wincheswhich transmit both information and electricityare thick and heavy, and they are likely to become restrictive at such great depth. Instead, the HROV will draw power from special onboard batteries and will communicate with its operator through a fiber-optic cable less than 1/32 of an inch thick, about the width of fishing line. The microcable has been used by the U.S. Navy in torpedo guidance, but never in this kind of application.
"Fiber-optic tethers, ceramic pressure housings, 11,000 meter vehicles, and autonomous vehicles have each been developed and deployed previously," said Whitcomb, a visiting investigator at WHOI. " But the HROV will be the first vehicle to marry these technologies for access to extreme depths. The scientific need has existed for decades. We are taking advantage of recently developed technologies to provide a novel and cost-effective vehicle to meet this need."
"The real challenge is to build a vehicle that is actually useful at 36,000 feet," added Yoerger, who expects the project to take three to four years. "This is a combination of science and adventure, and we can't use the same old methods. We need tools and sensors that match the scale of what we are trying to achieve, while allowing us the freedom to explore."

Living Area:The Wire Fox Terrier can live in either a house or an apartment style environment. They are quite active indoor animals and therefore will do fine without a yard. However, if they do live in an environment without a yard, it is important for them to be outside and obtain sufficient exercise. This could be just a long walk a day or a romp through the park. If they are living in an environment with a yard, letting them outside to run around in the yard daily is plenty of exercise. However, the Wire Fox Terrier should not be left outside alone because they are likely to bark and try to dig their way out.

The Wire Fox Terrier is an elegant and well built dog. It has a lot of strength compacted into a small structure. They are hunting and tracking dogs by nature and therefore are built with agility and many other hunting qualities. They have strong well developed jaws and teeth, eagerness, and physical strength. Above all else though, they pack a lot of courage. These are considered its weapons of attack. The eyes are dark, small, and deep set. Their neck is thick and extremely muscular. The skull is flat, tapering, and narrow skull. The ears are v-shaped and fold forward. The hair on the upper and lower jaws should only be long enough to give the impression of strength. The length of the coat depends on the climate, owner's preference, seasons, and individual animal but is typically 3/4-1 inch on the shoulders and neck. The coat is a longer 1.5 inches on the back, quarters, withers, and ribs.The chest should be deep but not too broad or too narrow. The brisket should be deep, the front ribs arched moderately, and the back ribs should be deep and well sprung. The shoulders should slope steeply down towards the points, which should be fine. A shoulder that is well laid back combined with a short back is considered very desirable in the Wire Fox Terrier. Hindquarters should be strong and muscular with long and powerful thighs. The feet should be round and compact with pads that are tough and well-cushioned. The gait of the Wire Fox Terrier is crucial. They should be carried straight forward while traveling with forelegs that hang perpendicular and swinging parallel to the sides. This gives the look of a pendulum clock. The power and propulsion of the Wire Fox Terrier is derived from its powerful and long thighs.

The best coat for the Wire Fox Terrier is one that appears to be broken, with hairs that have a tendency to twist. The texture should be dense and wiry resembling coconut matting. It should be so dense that when the hair is parted the skin cannot be seen. The undercoat is found at the base of the thick hairs that is softer and finer.
The Wire Fox Terrier originated in England in the 1800's. Before the introduction of the Wire Fox Terrier fox hunting would end as soon as the fox reached the hole. The Wire Fox Terrier was bred to assist in fox hunting. The Wire Fox Terrier was bred from the Smooth Fox Terrier and the Rough-Coated Tan and Black Terrier. If the fox reached the hole and went into the ground, the Terrier would be sent in after it. Terriers needed to have stamina to run with the foxhounds and they also needed to be small enough to follow the fox down into its lair. Lastly, the Terrier needed to be tough. The fox would view the Wire Fox Terrier as an intruder and would fight back. The Terrier needed to be stronger than the fox and conquer the animal. The fox would eventually flee from its lair and the hunters would then be able to hunt the fox. The Wire Fox Terrier would achieve this by snapping, growling, and lunging at the fox. They are sometimes regarded as the same breed as the Smooth Fox Terrier although in the United States the two breeds have been differentiated since 1986.
The Wire Fox Terrier is a happy, eager to please, excitable dog. They are always eager to play and make excellent pets for the active person. They do have a streak of dominance in them and therefore they can become frustrating if they are able to obtain the upper hand in the household. They were originally bred for hunting and tracking and love to dig under fences, in the garden, and even through sofas if the mood strikes them. If they get out of the yard they are gone. The owners need to be patient and have a good sense of humor. It is said that only a very specific type of person can put up with the antics of the Wire Fox Terrier. Because of their nature as hunting dogs, they are driven to chase smaller animals such as squirrels, rabbits, or cats. For this reason, the Wire Fox Terrier cannot be trusted off leash. They need to be leashed at all times because they will run away and chase small animals or start altercations with larger dogs. They can be quite aggressive with a great deal of courage. They will not back down even to dogs that are several times their size. Despite all of this, they are very cheerful and excitable dogs and can brighten even the darkest of days. There are some cautions to be aware of in the Wire Fox Terrier. Although they are said to make excellent family pets and they do love to play, especially with children, they are known to bite. The Wire Fox Terrier should always be supervised around children for this reason. They will react if they are being bothered or pestered. In addition to this, they excessively bark. They are quick to bark at any new sight or sound, so the owner must be equally as fast to stop them. For this reason, the Wire Fox Terrier should not be left outside alone because their barks can be very high pitched and cause annoyance for neighbors and owners. Furthermore, the Wire Fox Terrier has strong defense reactions. For instance, if the Terrier feelings like they were reprimanded beyond what was necessary they are more likely to growl and snap than other breeds. The root of this could be found that they were taught to always be more aggressive than their prey.
Maintenance for the Wire Fox Terrier is quite low unless you are planning on having it as a show dog. For pet owners who do not intend to show the dog, regular brushing and bathing when necessary is all that is needed. The dog can be brushed with a firm bristle brush about twice a week. To keep the coat looking its best and to keep it healthy it is important for the hair to be stripped several times a year. This can be done by a professional groomer if the owner is unsure or does not want to tackle that element of care. Grooming for show is a much more complex procedure. When bathing the dog, it should always be washed and rinsed twice. The first wash is to get rid of the dirt and the second is to bring brightness and color to the coat. A high quality specialty shampoo should be used for the Wire Fox Terrier because they are prone to skin irritation. If the dog does have some skin irritation there are medicated shampoos that can be used. Blow drying is the best method for drying the coat of the Wire Fox Terrier because it allows some straightening of the coat. Before clipping a dog for the show, it should always be combed out first. If the comb is not easily going through then there are mats that need to be removed. There are special sprays that can help break down the mats and make the combing process a little easier. However, if the dog is brushed regularly, this should not be necessary. It is essential for the ears to be cleaned and for the hair in the ears to be removed. There is ear powder that can be used and then your fingers to pull the ear hair out. The hair on the neck should be clipped first all the way around. Then continue down the back, down the rib cage, but leaving the chest hair. Then the shoulders should be clipped down to the elbow. The front of the chest can then be clipped even with the elbow. Then the tail can be entirely trimmed. For clipping the head, clip from the corner of the eye to the edge of the mouth. Then shave the top of the head but do not shave the eyebrows. Then the belly, inside of the legs, and groin area can be trimmed. It is important not to go past the start of the rib cage. In males the penis needs to be shaven. With females be very careful not to clipper off their nipples. If this is an intimidating process, there are many professionals that can groom the Wire Fox Terrier to show standards for you.
The Wire Fox Terrier is a very active and lively breed. It was originally bred for hunting and tracking and therefore enjoys being outdoors. They are known to be very active indoors as well as outdoors. Having a fenced yard does help as they can run and play outside, but they should not be left alone due to their excessive barking and digging. They are quite happy going for long walks but must always be kept on a leash. Their hunting instincts will kick in and they will take off without notice to chase any small animals. The Wire Fox Terrier needs consistent training and so an excellent way to get in exercise and training is to have the dog enrolled in an obedience training class. There are also clubs available for Terriers so that they can indulge in their love of chasing small vermin without actually harming any smaller animals.
Training for the Wire Fox Terrier can be a difficult process if you are training them from the time they are a puppy. Puppies have very sharp teeth that can cause a lot of damage and they are also very difficult to house train. It is important that the owner of the Wire Fox Terrier consider staying at home with the dog most of the time at the beginning. The Wire Fox Terrier is known to snap at children as well as other people who reprimand the dog so it is important to socialize the dog from an early age as well as have very consistent and constant training. The training of the Wire Fox Terrier should include obedience tasks because they are highly intelligent and energetic. It is important that the owner or handler of the dog learn to properly raise the dog because the Wire Fox Terrier has a very stubborn and independent nature. They will force you to prove that you can teach them how to do something. It is also important to learn how to properly reprimand the dog to prevent or reduce the likelihood of them snapping or growling at you. Due to the difficult training nature of this breed of dog and the aggression that it can show, it is suggested that this dog is not for the first time owner. It should be in the household of a very patient and experienced handler.

Even if you have the time and kitchen space to cook, shopping for groceries in New York — from braving the Trader Joe's lines to getting gouged at the gourmet bodega down the street — is enough to make you reach for the takeout menu.
But there are a number of new services looking to make home cooking easier by delivering recipes and all the ingredients to your door. Still, they don't make it too easy.
While the services vary, all require basic cooking skills and plenty of chopping and blanching — no pre-peeled garlic or already-minced herbs here. I road-tested four services, cooking a healthy (New Year's resolutions!) fish meal from each. Here's how I fared.
How it works: The reliable grocery delivery service also has an option that allows you to choose from tons of recipes and then automatically adds the ingredients to your cart.
Cost: Varies by recipe; for the "roasted fennel and red onion salmon" I ordered, it was $13.55 per person ($54.18 for four servings, including $5.99 delivery fee)
The tasty stuff: The huge selection of recipes and the ability to customize ingredients — i.e., an upgrade to organic fish — are big pluses, plus FreshDirect's delivery windows are just two hours, compared to the all-day FedEx waiting game.
The unsavory bits: I received one fennel bulb and one bunch of celery labeled as fennel — the sort of thing I've had happen when using FreshDirect for groceries. It doesn't have the prepackaged convenience (nor cute factor) of the other meal services; and most recipes are for a single dish, not an entire meal, leaving some meal planning to the customer. With so many different recipes, results are bound to vary — my salmon was simple and tasty but not serve-it-to-guests thrilling.
Bottom line: Surprisingly costly and only slightly more convenient than doing it all yourself.
1 out of 4 stars
Hello Fresh
How it works: Customers sign up for a weekly subscription of three dinners per week (vegetarian or meat). Each week, clients choose from five options, then receive all the ingredients, plus recipes via FedEx. Recipes are developed by Aquavit, the Michelin-starred restaurant on the Upper East Side.
Cost: $12.52 per person, per meal ($75.13 for three meals for two people, delivery included)
The tasty stuff: The mustard-glazed fish with quinoa was super simple and the oven-roasting method was foolproof, resulting in fish that was delightfully tender. Enough quinoa for six people.
The unsavory bits: Lacking in color and vegetables. Sauces came in fast-food-style packets.
Bottom line: Good for families, not foodies.
2 out of 4 stars
Blue Apron
How it works: Like Hello Fresh, this 6-month-old Willliamsburg-based company offers a three-meal-per-week plan delivered via FedEx. Customers can choose from a vegetarian or meat/fish plan, but there are just three options for each plan each week.
Cost: $9.99 per person per meal ($59.94 for three meals for two people, delivery included)
The tasty stuff: With protein, grain and veggies, the seared flounder with green bean salad and millet was the most complete of all the meals. The bean salad had both green beans and yellow wax beans, making for a colorful mix. Plus, the company sources from high-quality purveyors, like Pat LaFrieda beef. The packaging was attractive, too — no sauce packets in sight.
The unsavory bits: Searing the fish made it easy to overcook — I did. It still tasted good, though, especially when accompanied by the beans in a tarragon-chive dressing. Between cooking the millet, blanching the beans, making the salad dressing and searing the fish, there were lots of dirty dishes.
Bottom line: With higher-end ingredients at a reasonable price, this was the overall winner and left me contemplating a subscription.
3 out of 4 stars
Chef Day
How it works: A brand-new Bushwick-based service allows customers to order a la carte meals by delivery to cook at home, rather than relying on a subscription model. A different working chef develops each recipe, and there's an online demonstration video for each, in addition to a written recipe, giving this service more of a cooking-class feeling. Local delivery is provided in two- hour windows.
Cost: $17.48 per person ($34.95 for a dinner for two, delivery included)
The tasty stuff: With beautiful packaging — craft paper, an adorable little bottle of creme fraiche — and the instructional video dialed up on my iPad, this experience felt more suited to a special occasion than worknight cooking. In the video, chef Chris Leahy from Lexington Brass restaurant provided tips — like mixing together different mustards to give the sauce complexity. The meal, asparagus-stuffed salmon and an heirloom tomato salad, was delicious and elegantly presented.
The unsavory bits: The instructional video skipped over some steps, leaving me going back and forth between it and the written recipe. It's comparatively expensive and there are currently just six recipes to choose from, but there are plans to add a further five in the next month. Our delivery ran a couple of hours late, but they called to inform me.
Bottom line: This fledgling service is charming and its food is delectable, but it's more suited to date-night.

POQUOSON, Va. — The York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office says a Hampton woman who passed herself off as a teenage boy is accused of seven counts of sexual battery after she was found in woods with a 15-year-old girl.
Media reports say deputies arrested 21-year-old Stephanie Marie Griffith earlier this week while responding to another call. They said they found the girl with Griffith, who claimed to be a 15-year-old boy.
Investigators said Griffith told them the sex with the minor was consensual.
Besides the sexual battery charges, Griffith was charged with one count of crimes against nature and one count of piercing a minor.

Feds: Bombing suspect's friend tried to help him
BOSTON (AP) — A prosecutor has told jurors that a friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) was trying to protect Tsarnaev when he agreed with another friend to take altered fireworks from Tsarnaev's dorm room.
Azamat Tazhayakov (AZ'-maht tuh-ZAY'-uh-kahv) is charged with obstruction of justice and conspiracy for allegedly taking fireworks that had been emptied of their explosive powder, Tsarnaev's laptop and other items from his dorm room after last year's deadly bombing.
During closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutor John Capin told jurors that the 20-year-old Tazhayakov knew Tsarnaev was a suspect after he recognized his friend in photos and video released by the FBI. Capin said Tazhayakov agreed with a friend to take items and throw them away.
Tazhayakov's lawyers are to deliver their closing arguments later Wednesday.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Jurors are set to hear closing arguments Wednesday in the obstruction of justice case against a friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Azamat Tazhayakov is accused of helping to remove items from Tsarnaev's dorm room at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth several days after the 2013 attack.
Three people died and more than 260 others were injured when two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the marathon's finish line.
Federal prosecutors don't allege Tazhayakov and two other friends being tried separately knew anything about the bombing beforehand. They allege Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev took Tsarnaev's laptop computer and a backpack containing altered fireworks from his room hours after the FBI released photos and video of him and his brother, identifying them as suspects in the bombing but not naming them.
Prosecutors say Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev with a third friend, Robel Phillipos, went to Tsarnaev's dorm room after he texted Kadyrbayev that they could "take what's there."
Tazhayakov's lawyers said Kadyrbayev removed the items and threw away the backpack and fireworks, later recovered from a landfill.
Kadyrbayev has pleaded not guilty to obstruction of justice, and Phillipos has pleaded not guilty to lying to investigators. They will be tried separately.
Tsarnaev is awaiting trial and faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. He also has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors allege Tsarnaev and his brother carried out the bombings and killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days later. The brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died following a shootout with police the night the officer was killed. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured hiding in a boat in someone's yard hours later.
