* Still questions over capacity, funding of African force
By Joe Penney and Richard Valdmanis
DIABALY/SEGOU, Mali, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The United States
and African leaders threw their full diplomatic weight on
Wednesday behind a campaign to expel Islamist rebels from Mali,
as French air strikes harried the al Qaeda-allied fighters in
their strongholds.
For nearly two weeks, French jets and helicopters have been
hitting carefully selected targets around rebel-held Malian
towns such as Gao and Timbuktu, while African troops gather for
a planned ground offensive against the Islamist forces.
Last week's bloody seizure of a gas plant in neighbouring
Algeria by Islamist guerrillas opposing the French action in
Mali - in which at least 37 foreign hostages were killed -
heightened fears in Africa and the West that Mali's north could
become a launchpad for international attacks by al Qaeda.
After halting a surprise Islamist offensive southwards
towards Mali's capital Bamako, French ground troops and Malian
army soldiers backed by French armoured vehicles are securing
locations recaptured from the rebels in the last few days.
At one of these, Diabaly, a town of mud-brick homes 350 km
(220 miles) north of Bamako, jubilant residents welcomed foreign
reporters and showed them munitions abandoned by the fleeing
Islamist fighters, including several six-foot long shells.
Charred rebel pick-up trucks destroyed by the French air
strikes were also visible amid the mango trees.
The U.N.-mandated intervention in Mali was originally
conceived as "African-led, African-owned", but with the Malian
army in disarray and African neighbours scrambling to deploy
troops, France has taken the lead in the operation.
Amid widening international support for the Mali operation,
the European Union is preparing a 450-member mission to help
train the Malian army while the United States and European
governments are helping fly in French troops and equipment.
Voicing U.S. backing, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
described the internationally-backed intervention in Mali as a
response to "a very serious, ongoing threat" posed by the
regional affiliate of al Qaeda and its local allies.
"We are in for a struggle but it is a necessary struggle. We
cannot permit northern Mali to become a safe haven," she said in
Washington, referring to Malian elements of al Qaeda as not only
a "terrorist syndicate" but also a "criminal enterprise".
African governments, critical in the past of what they saw
as meddling by former colonial powers like France, are now
embracing the French-led action as a way to avoid a broadening
Islamist insurgency in Africa.
"All of the African continent, all its heads of state, are
happy about the speed with which France acted and with France's
political courage," African Union Chairman Thomas Boni Yayi, who
is president of Benin, said during a visit to Germany.
Nigeria, Africa's No. 1 oil producer, is contributing 1,200
troops to the Mali intervention force, even though it is
struggling to control a bloody Islamist insurgency at home by
the sect Boko Haram. U.S. and African military officials say
Boko Haram has links with al Qaeda and its allies in Mali.
"If it is not contained, definitely it will spill into West
Africa... It is one of the reasons we have to move fast,"
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan told a panel at the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
South African President Jacob Zuma, who leads Sub-Saharan
Africa's biggest economy, said the Mali situation would figure
high on the agenda of an African Union summit this weekend.
"It is not just Mali. It is Chad, it is Niger, it is
Mauritania," Zuma told Reuters in an interview in Davos, adding
that South Africa could play a role in Mali if asked to by the
African Union as the continent's top representative body.
Among the rebel targets in Timbuktu hit by French airstrikes
in the last few days was a house built there by the late Libyan
leader Muammar Gaddafi, which Islamist militants were using as a
base, local residents said.
The Islamist alliance in the north, which groups al Qaeda in
the Islamic Maghreb and the Malian militant groups Ansar Dine
and MUJWA, holds the major towns of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal.
Mali's state radio reported that, besides the Gaddafi house
in Timbuktu, rebel fuel and weapons depots around the fabled
Saharan trading town were also bombarded in the French raids.
With these keeping the rebels on the defensive, military
experts say the swift and effective deployment of African ground
forces is crucial to sustain the momentum of an offensive
against the Islamists and prevent them melting away into empty
desert or rugged mountains near the Algerian border.

A report by the Clean Air Task Force, which was released last week, is a devastating indictment of the coal industry and its impact to the public health. The report, "The Toll from Coal," shows that across the nation, people are being hospitalized and dying due to the impacts of air pollution from dirty coal.
What is startling in this report is that New Jersey, which does not have that many coal plants, is listed 10th in the nation for mortality and impacts on health from coal. Pennsylvania is ranked first in the nation for mortality and impacts.
New York/Newark/Edison is ranked as the metro area with the most health impacts from coal pollution; Philadelphia/Camden/Trenton is ranked second. Those areas are where New Jersey's coal plants are located. The Ocean City metro area, where the BL England plant is located, is ranked as 14th in the nation for mortality risk from coal plant. According to the map in the report, Salem and Gloucester Counties, where the Deepwater and Logan Township plants are located, have similarly high mortality rates.
According to the report, 531 people in New Jersey die each year from coal related deaths. There are 445 hospitalizations and 987 heart attacks in New Jersey from coal plants. For years, we have been subsidizing the coal industry because we have not charged them for the impacts they have on society and health. This report shows there is no such thing as clean coal its killer coal.
Even though we do not have as many coal plants as other states, because of our location at the end of the air stream, we receive a lot of pollution from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other Midwestern states. Added to the pollution from our coal plants here, coal pollution is having a devastating health impact. Part of the problem is that many of our coal fired power plants are located in areas where there are high concentrations of people, therefore having a big impact on human health.
For instance, we have coal plants in Jersey City and Trenton. Those plants have bigger impact on public health because they are located in major cities. This report shows a direct correlation between the location of coal plants and the state of the public health around them.
This report is validation that BL England and Deepwater should be closed or converted to natural gas. The Hudson and Mercer plant should be converted to gas. This report clearly shows why we need to move beyond coal and transition to renewable energy like wind and solar.
The report doesn't show the impacts coal fired power plants have on the economy because of missed work due to asthma and other respiratory illnesses or the impacts of Mercury pollution to our fish, which comes from coal pollution.

After Dark Films
It seems a bit odd to take on a movie review of Courtney Solomon's Getaway, as only in the loosest terms is Getaway actually a movie. We begin without questions - other than a vague and frustrating ''What the hell is going on?'' - and end without answers, watching Ethan Hawke drive his car into things (and people) for the hour and a half in between. We learn very little along the way, probed to engage in the mystery of the journey. But we don't, because there's no reason to.
There's not a single reason to wonder about any of the things that happen to Hawke's former racecar driver/reformed criminal - forced to carry out a series of felonious commands by a mysterious stranger who is holding his wife hostage - because there doesn't seem to be a single ounce of thought poured into him beyond what he see. We learn, via exposition delivered by him to gun-toting computer whiz Selena Gomez, that he ''did some bad things'' before meeting the love of his life and deciding to put that all behind him. Then, we stop learning. We stop thinking. We start crashing into police cars and Christmas trees and power plants.
Why is Selena Gomez along for the ride? Well, the beginnings of her involvement are defensible: Hawke is carrying out his slew of vehicular crimes in a stolen car. It's her car. And she's on a rampage to get it back. But unaware of what she's getting herself into, Gomez confronts an idling Hawke with a gun, is yanked into the automobile, and forced to sit shotgun while the rest of the driver's ''assignments'' are carried out. But her willingness to stick by Hawke after hearing his story is ludicrous. Their immediate bickering falls closer to catty sexual tension than it does to genuine derision and fear (you know, the sort of feelings you'd have for someone who held you up or forced you into accessorizing a buffet of life-threatening crimes).
After Dark Films
The ''gradual'' reversal of their relationship is treated like something we should root for. But with so little meat packed into either character, the interwoven scenes of Hawke and Gomez warming up to each other and becoming a team in the quest to save the former's wife serve more than anything else as a breather from all the grotesque, impatient, deliberately unappealing scenes of city wreckage.
And as far as consolidating the mystery, the film isn't interested in that either, as evidenced by its final moments. Instead of pressing focus on the answers to whatever questions we may have, the movie's ultimate reveal is so weak, unsubstantial, and entirely disconnected to the story entirely, that it seems almost offensive to whatever semblance of a film might exist here to go out on this note. Offensive to the idea of film and story in general, as a matter of fact. But Getaway isn't concerned with these notions. Not with story, character, logic, or humanity. It just wants to show us a bunch of car crashes and explosions. So you'd think it might have at least made those look a little better.

|EWTN coverage of the visit in 2008 to the US by Pope Benedict XVI
I have a bone to pick with EWTN. In case you don't know, they are a Catholic TV station that is widely available on cable. They are unabashedly orthodox in their viewpoint, which is fine with me.
The problem that I have is that it's been more than five years since Benedict XVI became the Pope. And yet EWTN seems to have barely noticed. They still feature prominently Pope John Paul II. When the recent condom controversy emerged, EWTN commentators couldn't resist asking "what would John Paul II do?"
At some point this begins to undermine the current Pope. And what about the habit of EWTN hosts of referring to the former Pope as John Paul the Great? There seems to be more to this than just promoting the sainthood of John Paul II. It feels to me like there are some among the EWTN staff that are advocating a sort of cult of personality devoted to the former Pope.
This is all the more reason that we should rally around the current Pontiff and support him in our prayers. Benedict has a wonderful grandfatherly quality about him. He emanates a kind of quiet holiness that is his unique charisma. He does not have a powerful speaking voice, but his words and writings are profound and full of spiritual wisdom.
What EWTN is doing is really not fair to either John Paul or Benedict. There is no reason that the network should continue to cling so tightly to the memory of John Paul II after so many years. For example, how about a show to discuss the encyclicals of Pope Benedict instead of the "Threshold of Hope" show which continues to highlight the encyclicals of John Paul?
I know that for me personally John Paul II had become the very face of the Church, and it was hard for me to accept a new Pope. But we must remember that the true face of the Church is, and will always be, Jesus Christ.

Novartis skin cancer drug meets endpoint in trial
Novartis announced today that investigational oral medicine LDE225, for advanced basal cell carcinoma hit, what the drugmaker calls "objective response," or showed a clinically significant tumor response (absence of disease) or a partial response (tumor shrinkage) after six months of treatment in Phase-II trials.
Novartis's head of oncology, Alessandro Riva, stated, "for people living with advanced basal cell carcinoma there are currently limited treatment options," adding, "these results demonstrate the potential for LDE225 to offer a treatment option for this patient population, and we look forward to sharing these data with regulatory authorities worldwide."
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, according to the Skin Care Foundation. Novartis has plans to file LDE225 in 2014.

Crystal Cruises Is Women's Choice For 'America's Best In Travel'
Women's Choice Award® Names Line as Top in Luxury Category
Jan 15, 2014, 11:30 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Crystal Cruises has been chosen 'America's Best in Travel' in the Luxury Cruising category of the 2013 Women's Choice Awards—the only award recognizing brands and companies recommended by women, to women. Based on a national poll of more than 1,300 female consumers and travel agents, the award not only reflects the priorities and preferences of female consumers, but also praises Crystal's dedication to excellence in service, spacious and elegant atmosphere, luxurious details, and genuine care shown by crew and officers. The awards were created by leading research company and female consumer advocate, WomenCertified.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140115/LA46972)
"Our guests have always been our biggest cheerleaders, but the Women's Choice Award represents a significant stamp of approval from our female quotient, as women continue to play the primary role in planning and booking family travel," says Edie Bornstein, the line's recently-appointed, and first-ever, female president.
The ease, luxury, and comfort of the Crystal experience has long made the line a preferred vacation choice for women. Women traveling alone can find low solo fares; Ambassador Hosts escorts; group shore excursions; and assigned dinner seating. Highly accomplished female speakers, such as political consultant Mary Matalin and counter-terrorism expert Farhani Ali, are also regularly featured in Crystal's enrichment program.

MGS E3 red band trailer
- June 17th, 2013
- Write comment
Our e3 red band trailer has been released. Meaning it's for 18+, if you're under 18 you're not supposed to watch it or something. Whatever, watch it.
The main character I worked on for this video had a very fast reveal. He's the guy running at the camera in the dust storm. Yoji Shinkawa did an awesome job with this concept art, I wish I could show the whole character!
I did do everything on this character.
I also did some support texturing to help where I could.
I would have loved to have made this model! However, I did not. I did do the facial 'blend/decal' texture.
I did not make these gloves but I added blood to them.
I did not make this shirt, but I made it wet.
The greenband trailer is here

Every single month I rip open the MLB delivery with joy, waiting to see what fabulous gifts and product samples await me inside. For someone that receives hundreds of products every single month, it's a testimony in itself that this little subscription box still makes me giddy. Here are the reasons I feel that My Little Box are knocking it out of the park continually, overshadowing all other competitors indefinitely, and why you need to get yourself a box right this moment.
Their Themes Are Blooming Brilliant
Unlike other boxes that are often filled with yet another sample of Laura Mercier primer (I swear they've been in every kind of box, calendar or goodie bag for a year) or tat beauty companies are trying to shift from their warehouse, My Little Box underpins every month with a theme. This not only ties the products together and ensures there's some consistency, but helps the little bits and bobs to be treasured even more. Some of my favourites have included the Parisienne box, Energy box (fab for January) and their perfectly paired partnership with fellow blogger Fleur de Force.
The Create Their Own Products
The beauty of this beauty box (ahem) is the fact it contains products developed specifically for the My Little Box family. From body moisturisers and highlighters, to lipsticks and eyeliners, you feel like you're getting something special that you can't buy anywhere else. The only downside is that if you love it it's near enough impossible to get a replacement - although in Paris I do believe you can buy these online. (Here's hoping this changes in 2015!)
Functional Tat
I love a bit of tat as much as the next person, but after a couple of weeks it inevitably ends up shoved in a drawer - or worse, in the bin. My Little Box have got a knack at developing bits and pieces that are fun, but also really useful; from the little notebooks that sit on my desk with pleasure, to phone covers and neck scarves, with gym bags and laptop cases thrown in for good measure. I love the little glass tub of inspirational messages with the latest box (pictured) which proudly sits on my desk and offers up a bit of French whenever I need a mid-afternoon boost.
Illustrations & Inspiration
No other brand or subscription services offers the pure attention to detail of My Little Box. Their boxes, products, magazine and additional posters are all illustrated by an incredible team of in-house artists that have really developed an instantly recogniseable style. They make everything utterly lust-worthy and even a leaflet showcasing a new lipstick as something to be treasured. I adore everything they create and know the box has been put together with love and passion - rather than within logistical limits and financial obligations.
Value For Money & Affordability
At £11.00 per month (plus £3.95 P&P) each box is an affordable treat - or a great gift. Unlike other boxes, where you pay a tenner for a box full of sachets, My Little Box offers great value. One product alone is often worth more than the box price, with a magazine and unique treats thrown in for good measure. I'm not quite sure how MLB manage to get the price down to such a low amount, but I'm pleased they have done as it makes it even easier to recommend; so many of my mates have now signed up to their service and look forward to their monthly gifts as much as I do.
Are you a fan of My Little Box? Have you signed up to the service, or are you tempted to do so?

I was stupid enough on how to manage multiple chef clients for multiple chef servers.
I played with Opscode hosted chef servers. Actually, I was astonished with chef through those guys presentations/talks. And later I installed one local chef-server to play around.
But I was always confused on what are the files do I need to change while
switching to the previous or another one. Should I keep them(3 files; client
key, organization validator key and knife.rb) in
~/chef or
~/.chef or
But, today I find this approach simple and simple.
cd inside any folder that you're managing for different servers. Make one
directory named
.chef and put your
client key,
orgnization validator
Now when you run any
knife -h commands being inside that folder, the
configuration will be read first from the
.chef directory.
It made me much simpler, should have known before!!

School of the Future World Summit Fosters School Reform Through Communities of Continuous Learning
Microsoft Partners in Learning works with education leaders and policymakers around the globe, equipping them to assess and overcome challenges.
Microsoft REDMOND, Wash. Fresh out of college, Mary Cullinane began her career at a high school in New Jersey, teaching current events to graduating seniors. It was 1990, and in the midst of the Persian Gulf War Cullinane was struck by the inadequacy of the curriculum to help her students learn about constant changes in the global landscape especially with text books that were 3years old. Through her class Cullinane strove to help her students gain understanding of the world around them and what they needed to be successful; yet her experience made it clear that the current classroom model no longer best served her students. The need for true education reform had become obvious.
Cullinanes goal was to give her students the skills and understanding to give back to society. But there was no way to do justice to the complex conversations and challenges in the world through the limited perspective of a textbook. It became very apparent that the fundamental structure of teaching was a silo classrooms with doors closed to the outside world, Cullinane says.
In 1996, Microsoft Corp. launched its Anytime Anywhere Learning solution, which provides students and teachers with laptop computers, interactive curriculum, the Microsoft Office productivity suite and networking technology to connect students, teachers and parents. At the time, most people were skeptical of using technology in the classroom. But firsthand knowledge of the program convinced Cullinane of its potential to make learning and the classroom experience more fulfilling for students. She also saw the need for more partnership between the private sector and education. Today, as director of Innovation and Business Development for U.S. Public Sector Education at Microsoft, Cullinane oversees the companys U.S. Partners in Learning efforts and leads a team of people devoted to addressing these needs.
The Microsoft Institute
The Microsoft Institute is a unique, three-day professional development experience for education and government leaders. It grew out of lessons the company has learned through various initiatives and the Partners in Learning program. Theres no registration fee to attend, and each offering is limited to no more than 40 people, so attendees can genuinely engage in dialogue and small group activities. Participants leave with clear tools and ideas to implement in their organizations, district, classroom or workplace.
The institute is ideally suited for multifunctional teams of visionaries and implementers, teachers, school leaders, administrators, superintendents, city officials, school board members, and technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
The focus of each session varies, though content generally relates to using tools such as the Competency Wheel, the 6i process; developing leaders; scaling success; and implementing technology.
There are five to six in-person events each year, with plans to offer an online component by the end of 2008.
More information, including upcoming dates and registration, is available on the Microsoft Institute Web site.
Staying True to Core Competencies
To facilitate discussions around educational reform, the Partners in Learning team started the School of the Future (SOF) World Summit. In 2005, more than 200 education policy leaders from 20 countries attended the first summit on Microsofts Redmond campus. This week Microsoft is hosting the fourth annual SOF World Summit in Seattle, where more than 250 education policy leaders from more than 30 countries are registered to attend.
The School of the Future in West Philadelphia opened in 2006 with a student body of 750. A joint project between Microsoft and the school district of Philadelphia, the school is a test bed for a technology-based education model that can be
Stacey Rainey, academic program manager for U.S. Partners in Learning, spearheaded the efforts behind this years summit, which is based on the theme of Whats possible? As Rainey points out: Educators are frequently challenged with using dated and static curriculum to teach students about a world thats anything but static. This years summit focuses on providing additional insight on responding to societal, economic and political forces, identifying their long-term impact and preparing students for what lies ahead.
Attendees will learn how their colleagues in the Netherlands, India, and other countries around the world are embracing change, incorporating technology, and partnering with the private sector. In addition, the summit will provide a forum for education professionals to share knowledge, discuss and debate issues, and return to their schools with solutions for problems and ideas for engaging the private sector in their regions.
According to Cullinane, both Partners in Learning and the SOF World Summit grew out of a desire on Microsofts part to do more than simply contribute money and technology to the education sector. Instead, the goal was to work alongside educators and contribute human capital in the form of employee expertise and resources based on the companys success.
Cullinane and her team initially focused on six states where Microsoft already had allocated financial investments. Projects ranged from helping the state of Michigan implement a better leadership development program for its principals to addressing the needs of rural New Mexico through education and economic development.
Fostering an Environment of Continuous Learning
One of Microsofts most noteworthy investments was the School of the Future in West Philadelphia, part of Microsofts alliance with state education leaders and policymakers to reform Pennsylvanias school system. Running the length of the high school is an atrium-like promenade that serves as the social spine and helps foster a community of learners. Wireless networks provide students with constant Internet access, and two-story glass panels made with photovoltaic glass generate electricity for the school.
Yet what most sets the school apart is neither its design nor the infusion of technology into the lives of educators and learners; rather, its the approach of faculty, students and staff to the learning process. Instead of using the titles of student, teacher and principal, the School of the Future uses learner (student), educator (teacher) and chief learner (principal).
Why the odd titles? Says Chief Learner Rosalind Chivis: When we started this partnership with Microsoft, we were encouraged to dream and think beyond what exists. If youre going to accomplish a goal like that, you have to constantly learn. Throughout the school, from the learners to the educators, the support staff and myself, were all constantly learning as this school continues to evolve.
Chivis has been in education for more than 30 years. She has been involved in the School of the Future since it was first conceived in 2004. Throughout the process, Chivis and her colleagues have appreciated the experience, commitment and resources that Microsoft brings. The 6i development process outlines the phases (introspection, investigation, inclusion, innovation, implementation and introspection) of assessing a schools needs and determining the best solution. And the education Competency Wheel, a tool that was created for Microsofts own HR department to identify job candidates and develop employees core competencies, has also been adapted to assist schools.
Ive been very comfortable with the 6i process because it aligns with the way I like to do business, says Chivis. But regardless of a persons leadership style, the structure of the 6i process makes the implementation of a solution much smoother. Once youve gone through the first four steps, youre ready to implement confidently.
The Payoff of Public-Private Partnership
Dr. Maurice Ghysels, superintendent of the Mountain View Whisman School District in Silicon Valley, shares Chivis appreciation for tools such as the Competency Wheel and 6i process. He learned about them at the Microsoft Institute, a three-day professional development workshop that gives administrators and staff members a solid grasp of behavioral interviewing methods and ways to incorporate technology into the classroom.
Quantifying the Value of a Public-Private Partnership
A 2001 survey by the Council for Corporate & School Partnerships found that nearly 70 percent of the 300 school districts surveyed engage in some form of business partnership. Through these partnerships, businesses and other organizations gave an estimated $2.4 billion and 109 million volunteer hours to schools, and benefitted an estimated 35 million students. Yet for all their value, public-private partnerships present challenges to all those involved. To provide guidance on the critical elements for an effective partnership, Microsofts U.S. Partners in Learning team issued a policy paper and case studies from its efforts in Michigan, New Mexico and Washington State. The policy paper and case studies are available on the Microsoft Education Web site.
Cuts in the California state budget are forcing Ghysels to slash the districts budget by $1.5 million for the next school year. Still, he says his district is positioned to ride out the economic turmoil: The quality of job applicants is up, the annual performance index increased 21 points last year, parent satisfaction is very high, and more neighborhood kids are choosing district schools over private schools.
Four years ago I literally couldnt fill a position, says Ghysels. Instead, I had to bring in an interim principal for a year. But the last two principals who were picked for their schools were appointed. There wasnt even a selection process because they graduated from our leadership academy. We groomed both of these candidates to be leaders, and theyve been absolutely slam-dunk success stories. Its because of Microsofts role as a leading supporter of the Mountain View business community that we have a stronger, more talented team in this district.
Each student is given a laptop computer to access the School of the Future portal, based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. This portal allows teachers, students and parents to easily communicate and share homework assignments, test results, and report cards.
The School of the Future has seen similar improvements. For example, during its first year of operation, student attendance rates were at 93 percent (compared with a district average of around 78 percent). School of the Future junior Tyler Wilson attributes the change to a variety of factors, including smaller class sizes, caring teachers, the use of engaging technology, and adoption of a new grading scale. When I was in middle school I would settle for the basics getting a C was fine because I was excelling in comparison to many students and wouldnt get in trouble at home, says Wilson. But at the School of the Future we dont have regular grades like an A, B or C. This opened my eyes as a student and a learner who wants to be successful when I get older. It also opened my mothers eyes to push me to do better. Now that I know I can do better, a B or proficient isnt acceptable. Instead, I strive for advancement in every project and assignment I do.
Using technology in all her classes has also given Tyler the skills to succeed beyond the walls of the school, whether in job interviews or internships. And from beyond the walls of the school, her mom can also keep tabs on her daughters education using the School of the Future portal, built on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. My mom stays in tune from the portal, so she can check my homework assignments, what class I was late for or what pop quizzes I had, all from her computer at work or at home, says Tyler.
Creating a Community of Partners
Results like this are encouraging for Chivis and her colleagues. But the journey to school reform in Pennsylvania has just begun. Were doing everything we can to create the model for an education thats relevant and adaptable, but were nowhere near where we want to be, says Chivis. I cant tell you how many times we started, balled it up and started over again. And you know what? Thats OK. We look at the School of the Future as a test bed. And I think that notion makes it ok to take risks. So were looking forward to creating all sorts of innovative, engaging best practices that we hope can be used across our district and hopefully the world.
In 2006, Microsoft increased its investment in holistic school reform projects, like the School of the Future, through its Innovative Schools program. This program is designed to capture the processes, best practices and lessons learned from Philadelphias School of the Future and similar efforts in Singapore, the U.K. and several other countries to help educators from around the world benefit from the work of their colleagues.
Hardly a week goes by in which Chivis and her staff dont get a call from some international organization, either making inquiries about the schools resources or design process, or wanting to study various aspects of the school and its processes. Many of these companies and organizations want to be a part of this work, to partner with the school and provide their resources as well. Chivis credits this fact to Microsoft.
For Cullinane, it all goes back to the premise of Microsoft demonstrating its commitment to education by creating a community of companies that partner with schools and provide access to their resources and expertise.
The word hasnt been created that describes the difficulty of education reform. And the challenge is too big to be addressed by the installation or deployment of certain software. Microsofts primary contribution is still in the area of technology. Weve helped implement change in people development, environmental development and other areas, but everyone has something to contribute. Finding where they can contribute is worth the effort.

Ten years after graduating high school, three friends, Jerry (Matthew Lillard), Dan (Seth Green) and Tom (Dax Shepard), find out that their childhood friend, Billy (Antony Starr), died in a para-sailing accident in Costa Rica. After the burial, they take a trip down to memory lane and enter their tree house, where the four hung out when they were children. They find a map leading to D. B. Cooper's lost treasure that Billy has apparently been working on his whole life. Dan takes a break from his job as a doctor and joins Jerry and Tom on a camping trip to find the treasure.They take a canoe down the river and find Grandpa's Nose (a rock formation), and they stay on the riverside for the night. Standing around the camp fire, they discover they forgot to bring food; so Tom goes out to catch some fish. Despite his shining skills, a grizzly bear shows up and chases the group away. Dan trips and is caught up with by the bear, who thinks Dan is its cub. It brings Dan back to its 'nest' and forces him to eat a mutilated dead squirrel. Dan manages to escape and the trio ends up sleeping in a tree. In the morning, they find all their gear ripped up and completely destroyed by the bear - even Dan's cellphone, which the animal swallowed. The bear, they find to their dismay, had also ripped a hole in the map.The trio takes off in the river, but, unable to read the map, they go the wrong way. The split leads them into rapids where they are nearly killed and drowned. The map is lost, and they end up falling off a waterfall, but landing safely in a belly of water. Unfortunately, their canoe has been smashed to pieces. They take off into the woods with a compass and find themselves at a pot farm, in which two violent farmers, Dennis (Abraham Benrubi) and Elwood (Ethan Suplee), mistake them for thieves and start shooting at them. The friends escape into the farm, but the security flares go off and hit the growth, causing a bunch of smoke to wallow around and get the trio effectively stoned. While the farmers, wearing bandannas over their faces, are on their tail, the guys fall into a pond barely escape, using reeds to breathe. The farmers take off, and the guys then run into the woods. In the morning, the farmers find their crop burned and they set off to kill Jerry, Dan and Tom.The trio meets two hippie girls far into the forest, who treat the men with food, communication, and love up in their huge tree. Using the radio, the farmers find them and attempt to cut down the tree, both distressing and enraging the hippie girls. They drop paper bags full of feces at the farmers to distract them while the guys escape. Half naked, the guys are lost into the woods, while it is pouring rain. The only way they have to survive is to hold on to each other for warmth. Suddenly, they are caught by a man living up in the mountains, who takes the them up to his hut and provides them with clothes. The man is named Del Knox (Burt Reynolds), once D. B.'s partner before his death.The next morning, the farmers find them and assault the house. The guys escape while Del Knox shoots at the two bad guys with his revolver. The guys stumble upon the site in which D. B. crashed landed, discovering his corpse along with the suitcase holding the money. It turns out that D. B. burned his share of the money, just for a few more minutes of life. They then toss their valuable possessions on his body, including Dan's C-3PO action figure, Jerry's Brian Bosworth card, and Tom's condom. The only way out of the cave is for Dan to crawl through a small tunnel. The farmers find Jerry and Tom below and Dan comes from the ground and hits them with a log. The farmers fall down and they engage in a brawl with Tom and Jerry, consisting of Tom kicking the gun out of Elwood's hands, Dennis tossing Jerry onto the ground, Then Tom leaps onto Dennis's back so Dennis spins Tom off, then they begin punching, kicking and biting. Eventually, a sheriff (who actually helped Dan, Tom, and Jerry in the beginning) arrives; however, it is discovered that he was working with the pot farmers all along. The three are cornered and Jerry, who took one of the farmer's grenades, flips off the pin but accidentally drops it. Moments before it blows, he throws it towards the bad guys; it explodes, causing a tree to fall on the farmers and sheriff. The three bad guys are arrested afterwards.In the end, Jerry, Dan, and Tom earn half of the remaining money from D. B. Cooper's partner. Jerry proposes to his girlfriend, Dan starts a relationship with one of the hippie girls and gets laid for the first time, and Tom is a camp counselor for a children's summer camp, who ends up telling his troop all about the camping trip.

Use to line a 20cm (8in) loose bottom flan tin, trimming away any overhanging pastry. Prick the base with a fork and chill for 10 minutes, then line with nonstick baking paper and fill with baking beans or dry rice. Bake for 12 minutes then carefully remove the baking beans and baking paper and return to the oven for a further 10 to 12 minutes, until the pastry case is pale golden and crisp. Allow to cool totally. Beat together the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and fold into the mascarpone mixture. Spoon evenly into the cooled pastry case and level with the back of a spoon. Arrange the prepared strawberries over the top of the tart (hulled side down) and chill until ready to serve. Carefully remove from the flan tin onto a serving plate and cut into 8 wedges. See more Strawberry recipes Watch the full video here

A NEW survey of Canadian online investors has found that few rely on formal disclosure documents like annual reports for investment information, even though most describe themselves as long-term investors.
The findings of the latest RBC Direct Investing poll of 630 online investors once again highlights the need for companies and their regulators to rethink the role annual reports and prospectuses play in investor relations and financial disclosure programs.
The poll found that just 12% of those surveyed said they used "mutual fund prospectuses or corporate annual reports" for their online investing research. Interestingly, more females (17%) than males (9%) do online investing research using these sources.
Here's how the responses broke down when people were asked "Where do you get your research for online investing?":
- 62% — online resources other than my online brokerage website;
- 52% — general media (newspapers, magazines, TV);
- 51% — my online brokerage (website, telephone, e-mail, etc.);
- 39% — financial or business media;
- 23% — family and friends;
- 18% — my financial advisor;
- 12% – mutual fund prospectuses or corporate annual reports;

Echoes prior findings
The results of this survey echo findings in a range of other investor surveys going back several years. All show that few investors use corporate annual reports and formal disclosure documents – and those who do consult them do so only briefly.
Recently, a survey by Sweden-based Box IR of 106 investment professionals found that online annual reports ranked among the least useful activities companies can undertake. And a large-scale survey (PDF 720KB) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in 2008 found that more than half of retail investors surveyed said they rarely, very rarely or never read company annual reports.
However, despite the persistent mounting evidence that investors seldom read the documents, companies continue to spend large amounts each year creating annual reports for both print and the web.
While there remains a need for a print and PDF audited annual corporate reference document, any investment in such a document for marketing communications purposes is wasted since they are seldom used. Companies would do better to reallocate resources to providing non-annual report web resources that target the needs of their various investors.
Other key findings from the RBC Direct Investing poll include that only 15% of online investor account holders invest for short-term goals while 46% invest only for the long-term and 39% invest for a combination of goals. Fully 73% of online investors have been investing for longer than three years and of these, 92% are 36 or older.
Top reasons for opening an online brokerage account include convenience (96%), to have control over investments (95%) to save on fees and commissions (92%) and to become a better educated investor (76%).
- What do you think? Has the time come to replace glossy print annual reports and non-PDF online versions with something new and relevant to the audience?

Most first-time directors would consider themselves fortunate to land Jamie Kennedy and Mo'Nique for their debut effort. But now that the training wheels (named Rodriguez and Tarantino) are coming off for the legendary Frank Miller with "The Spirit," A-listers are lining up like Motley Crue fans at a leather pants sale.
"I'm excited to be working with Frank Miller, he's a genius," Eva Mendes told us recently, nearly jumping out of her chair. "Actually, I didn't even read a script."
Thanks to his graphic novels and movie adaptations of "300" and "Sin City" (which credited him as one of three co-directors), the Miller "look" has been well-established. But, in adapting the Sunday morning comic strip launched by Will Eisner in 1940, the feel of a full-on Miller production remains to be seen.
"[Miller] wrote the script as well," beamed Mendes, who'll star in the film alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Jaime King, Gabriel Macht and a certain red-hot redhead. "When I first met with him, it was actually me and Scarlett Johansson -- we got there at a similar time. We actually sat down and we met with Frank together. It was fantastic, and I was just like 'Look, I don't even know what the script is, but I want to work with you'."
In a few short weeks, the "We Own the Night" star will get her wish. "I play Sand Saref," she explained. "It's my first femme fatale character. She's literally a killer, and she uses her body to get what she wants. I'm excited!"
Those who list Mendes as one of the sexiest women in Hollywood are, no doubt, every bit as thrilled to hear such hot details about the 2009 release. "I loved 'Sin City' and '300,' and I love working with creative geniuses," she gushed. "That brain of his, it's like, 'What's going on in there?'"

December 21, 2006 21:49 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 21, 2006) - Dhanoa Minerals Ltd. (OTCBB:DHNA)(FRANKFURT:D7Z) is pleased to announce that it plans to acquire an 80% interest in three mining projects in southern Ecuador from Grupo Minero Bonanza ("GMB"), subject to final due diligence process. Final terms of the deal will be disclosed shortly. This second production mine package hosts over 850,000 ounces of gold and consists of the Bonanza Mine, Guanache Mine and Mollopongo Mine located in the Bella Rica area in the south western end of Ecuador. All three mines are situated in the western end of the Ecuadorian metallurgical gold belt which from past production and actual reserves hosts over 10 Million ounces of gold.
Dhanoa is very excited about its most recent acquisitions in Ecuador. Our business strategy as previously stated is to acquire producing mines in a known gold district, modernize the operations and increase production in order to establish our self as a leading mining company in South America. The mines are situated within an area which contains many past and current gold producers and is next door to International Minerals Corp. which is trading at $5.40. which hosts the Gaby project, a porphyry gold copper deposit hosting a total gold content of 5.5 Million ounces.
The mines are located conveniently 2.5 hours from Guayaquil, the main city in Ecuador. These projects have easy accessibility to water and electricity which will enable the mine to operate efficiently.
Currently Mina Bonanza has eight veins, two of which are currently in production, Mina Guanache has five veins and Mina Mollopongo has five veins and one zone of disseminated gold. GMB has recently estimated these mines contain resources totalling approximately 850,000 ounces of gold from underground and open pit mine operations: 7.4 Million Tons at 1.55 g/t Au for 369,000 ounces Au for the open pit zone on the Mollopongo concession and 1.9 Million Tons at 8 g/t Au for 499,000 ounces of gold from seven mineralized veins striking across the Bonanza, Guanache and Mollopongo concessions. The gold disseminated body of the area Mollopongo (open pit) with estimated historical reserves were previously calculated by Zappa Resources and Cambior in the amounts of 368,791 ounces of gold. Individual veins show grade varying from 6.5 g/t to 11 g/t Au, average thickness of 0.3 m, length of 400-1200 m and a depth of 400-600 m. The veins are composed of quartz and sulphides including pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. Historically copper has never been recovered but historical values from different mines show copper values of up to 1% Cu.
Paul Roberts, president of Dhanoa states; "Dhanoa is very excited with these three new projects which can increase our overall gold production in the area. There is also a tremendous amount of blue sky exploration potential in the vicinity of these three projects."
Dhanoa has not completed the work necessary to verify the historical classification of the mineral resource estimate and is not treating it as a current resource estimate as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 and therefore the estimate cannot presently be relied upon.

Organic Meat Not Safer Than Nonorganic Options
Organic Meat Not Safer Than Nonorganic Options
Organic meat contains the same amount of carcinogens if not more when compared to nonorganic meat, according to a study published online in Environmental Science and Pollution Research International. Researchers analyzed 76 samples of both organic and conventional meat, including beef, chicken, and lamb, for 33 different carcinogens and compared them to average consumption rates. All samples contained carcinogens with very small differences between organic and nonorganic meats. For certain persistent organic pollutants (POPs), results showed higher levels of contamination in organic meat, particularly lamb.
Hernández AR, Boada LD, Mendoza Z, et al. Consumption of organic meat does not diminish the carcinogenic potential associated with the intake of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. Published online April 19, 2015.

Personal Log: Shiv Atellus Entry ZE-F-AZ
This morning while I was still looking over medicae reports on my dataslate, I got a notice that the inquisitor had special orders for me. The notice didn't say anything helpful about what would be going on or else I might have "accidentally" misplaced the notice. Once I'd read it, though, I had no choice. "Be in conference room 3 at 0600." I knew that was close to my quarters, but with only an hour to get there and the Tenebro-Maze to deal with, I had to head out immediately.
At the meeting, there were around a dozen other people, all similarly summoned. The lucky ones looked pretty settled in by the time I got there, but a few came running through the door right under the wire. They probably didn't need to run, Constantine himself came strolling in closer to 0700. Pretty much right away he announced that we were all his acolytes, and he seemed like he was about to go into more elaborate details when he got a message over his micro-bead. The ship had been infiltrated by cultists. Rather than sending, for example, the ship's defense force to go take care of it, Constantine split us into groups and sent us to go take care of it.I was assigned to a group with two guardsmen and a Tech-Priest. Soloman and Dorn are the names of the Guardsmen and Kaltos was the Tech-Priest. Spoiler alert: Kaltos was shot to death in the Geller Field room. The four of us wound our way through the maze to the Geller Field room where we saw 18 mutants enacting some sort of heretical ritual on the orb at the center of the field. We took split into two groups and entered the room through adjacent sides. The two guardsmen were one group, and the Tech was with me. The guardsmen systematically mowed their way through everything in their path while Kaltos and I struggled to incapacitate even one heretic. For a master of technology, Kaltos was using a very weak las carbine. For my part, I'm a doctor, not a fighter. I managed to keep a pair of the mutants occupied, parrying what I could and letting my xeno-mesh absorb the rest while I waited for the guys with the guns to finish up.
- Side note: if I am going to continue being thrust into these combat situations, I should go better armed. My mono-sword is decent, but it doesn't have the dropping power of a rifle.
Once we had killed or incapacitated all of the mutant cultists, Constantine ordered our three surviving members to investigate the source of the cultists. After dealing with some very unhelpful people in the lighter bay, we found an empty container in the cargo hold that had obviously been used to transport personnel instead of grain. We also discovered that the empty container was an extra. It had been stamped as approved. I had the clerk cordon off the container and we went to find out who had approved the container.
After getting the run around from the clerks on staff in shipping and receiving, we eventually found our way to the archives. Conveniently, there were mutants there who were in the middle of failing to delete the exact information we wanted. The group was much smaller, so we managed to defeat them all much faster than previously even though we were down a man. One of the mutants in this group was also a witch, and we were able to take him alive. If he survives interrogation, perhaps he can redeem himself slightly by having his soul burned in the beacon on Terra. The data we preserved in the archive led us to believe that a navigation officer named Bratis had been responsible for allowing the mutants safe passage onto the Kern Wahrheit.
Constantine refused to fully believe our information implicating Bratis, but he allowed us to continue our investigation provided we made an attempt at discretion. We wrote a note to Bratis that said "Bratis, your preferred grain is out of stock. Please contact us as soon as possible regarding alternate selection. X." We had Soloman deliver it because he was the most generic looking member of our team. We then trailed Bratis through the Tenebro-Maze to the ship's chapel. Once there, he revealed himself as a heretic and attempted to kill us all in order to prevent us from exposing him. The plan didn't serve him well, though, because he forgot to account for Soloman who was still out in the corridor reporting in. Soloman got off a good shot with his long las that crippled Bratis in the first seconds of our battle while Dorn and I booked it to the outside of the chapel. Once there, we waited to try to take any of Bratis's cohorts who followed us in a cross-fire. The plan didn't really work, but the three of us managed to take out a few of them and held off the rest until the cavalry could arrive.
As I write this Dorn, Soloman, and I are waiting to be debriefed by Constantine.

Before Amazon.com launched Marketplace and zShops, they used to have a somewhat convoluted human-powered system to fulfill requests for out of print titles. Glenn Fleishman--fabulous tech columnist, former Amazon.com employee, and the man behind isbn.nu and ISBlogN (a blog about book-related metadata)recounts the story of how how his team at Amazon.com launched the original framework for out of print titles.

ASPI: Advanced SCSI Programming Interface, a specification that Adaptec developed and that programmers can use to write device drivers and other programs that communicate with devices such as scanners. ASPI defines a common set of communications that can be sent from SCSI devices to host adapters to carry out tasks such as data transfer.
ASPI layer: A standard software interface between the ASPI device drivers and the ASPI software manager, which programmers write for a specific host adapter. Commands from the ASPI device drivers pass through the ASPI layer.
ASPI software manager: Also called the ASPI manager; a program tailored for a specific host adapter and operating system that interprets commands from ASPI devices and relays this information to the host adapter. ASPI software managers are sometimes called system-level drivers.
Device driver: A program that controls a piece of hardware, such as a scanner. Scanners usually require two drivers to work: one for the host adapter and a second to control the scanner. The host-adapter driver is often called a system-level driver (usually a *.sys file); the scanner driver is called a source driver. Source drivers that comply with the ASPI specifications are called ASPI device drivers.
Host adapter: Hardware that lets the computer communicate (using software such as ASPI managers and device drivers) with the SCSI device. Host adapters can be either a printed circuit board card or a built-in bus on the system motherboard.
ISIS: Image and Scanner Interface Standard, an API for the design and development of scanner drivers. Developed by Pixel Translations and now adopted by other vendors, ISIS is an alternative to the TWAIN standard, specifically for scanners. The ISIS standard is usually used for optical character recognition (OCR) software.
SCSI: Small Computer Systems Interface, a standard developed in the late 1980s. It lets up to seven SCSI devices be daisy-chained onto a single SCSI bus. The most common standard is SCSI-2, which was finalized in 1992 and among other things, added support for CD-ROMs and scanners.
SCSI devices: Peripherals such as disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, and tape drives.
TWAIN: An image and scanner interface standard for the design and development of scanner drivers. TWAIN is an alternative to the ISIS standard.
