The First Look at Brooklyn Decker's Short Hair
Posted by clau with No Comments
Allure Exclusive: The First Look at Brooklyn Decker's Short Hair
Brooklyn Decker is the latest celebrity to part with her long, tumbling waves and join Kate Mara, Emma Stone, and Halle Berry in the clan of the lob. "I get bored very easily and wanted to chop it off," says the actress. "And Sienna Miller's cropped cut made my decision very easy." We got the first look at Decker's awesome new cut and spoke with the team behind it.
"I made the first ten-inch chop to prepare for Brooklyn's color, and everyone was very excited," says colorist Rona O'Connor of the Lukaro Salon in Beverly Hills. She lightened Decker's base tone to a golden blonde, added threads of ivory and strawberry for dimension, and faded the ends to a pale champagne for a sun-kissed look. Then Rona's husband (and Lukaro co-owner), Luke O'Connor, stepped in to create the bob.
The first step was to tackle thickness. "She has so much hair, and that's not a problem when it's long—the more the better. But for her new bob, my challenge was to it thin out so it didn't expand into what I call the sphinx look: flat on top and wide at the bottom," says Luke. He started by lightening the bulk of hair underneath with thinning shears. "They're measured by the percentage of hair they cut out of each section," he says. "For example, I have 10, 20, 30, and 50 percent pairs. For Brooklyn, I pulled out the 50 percent one." Then Luke cut vertically into the outer layer of hair to blend all the lengths together and create a jagged edge. "I like that I sort of look like a dude. It feels much more rock and roll now," says Decker.
Oh and yes, Decker is wearing a T-shirt with a picture of herself picking her nose. On the plus side, it's for charity!

What are the common cautions regarding bit manipulation?
The following are common cautions applicable from the 4-bit 75X Series to the 32-bit V850 Series.
- Bit manipulation instructions
- Bit manipulation to port
Microcontroller bit manipulation is not realized with dedicated hardware, but via read-modify-write.
The operation is as follows.
(2) Set/reset the target bits of the read data.
(3) Write back the bit-processed data in 4-/8-bit units.
During normal program processing, there is no particular need to be aware of anything, but when bit-manipulating hardware such as ports, caution is required.
With the exception of some devices, in order to enable bit manipulation for ports, the circuit configuration is such that the output latch data is read when using the port as an output, and the external pin status is read when using the port as an input.
For example, let us assume that we have an 8-bit I/O port P20 to P27.
This port is always accessed in 8-bit units.
When bit-manipulating this port, 8 bits of data are read.
At this time, the output latch data is read in the case of a bit specified as output, and the pin status is read in the case of a bit specified as input.
Data can therefore be read in combinations whereby each bit is read from a different location.
The target bits in this data are manipulated and the result is written back in 8 bits to the output latch.
In other words, the external pin status is written to the output latch of ports specified as input ports.
Therefore, caution is required regarding ports that are specified as input.
As shown in the following question examples, bit manipulation of ports that have not been specified as output may have an unexpected effect on bits other than the target bits, so caution is required.

Sacred Heart University Begins Search for New President
Sacred Heart University has formed a committee to begin the search for a new president, according to James T. Morley, Jr., chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.
The 15-person committee, which will be chaired by Mr. Morley, will include representatives from the University Board of Trustees, faculty, and administration. Alumni and members of the student body will participate in the interviewing process. The new president is expected to be in place by the beginning of the new academic year, in September 2011, Morley said.
"We are going to conduct a national search to find a candidate who can build on the many strengths of Sacred Heart and continue the tradition of excellence that has characterized the University since its founding," Morley said. "We are looking for a person of integrity and vision: someone devoted to the Catholic intellectual tradition who demonstrates the personal and professional qualities that are most consistent with our unique mission."
Dr. John J. Petillo, the dean of the University's Jack Welch College of Business since March 2009, recently assumed the position of interim president. Petillo, who served on the Board of Trustees, is former chancellor and CEO of Seton Hall University in New Jersey and held several executive positions at major corporations, including BlueCross BlueShield and the Newark Alliance in New Jersey.
Morley said that the first undertaking for the committee would be to develop a job description for the position of president that would be given to an executive recruitment firm to conduct a national search. He added that nominations from members of the Sacred Heart University community would also be considered.
Sacred Heart University is the second-largest Catholic university in New England with more than 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The school enrolled its largest freshman class ever in 2010. According to Mr. Morley, SHU was "the first Catholic university in America designed to be led and staffed by lay people, it is dedicated to providing education for life and preparation for professional excellence. Inspired by the ecumenical spirit of the Second Vatican Council, our University works to prepare its students to live in and make their contributions to the human community."

Coryphaena hippurus is harvested throughout its circumglobal range. It can be locally abundant, is fast-growing, early maturing and short-lived. There are some localized declines in catch that may be related to overfishing. However, there is no indication that this species is undergoing significant population declines. It is therefore listed as Least Concern.

|From 1961 to 2006, the reported worldwide landings for this species from FAO have gradually increased from 17,000 metric t, to a peak of 59,000 metric t (in 2005). In 2005, Japan reported 10,000 tonnes and Taiwan Province of China approximately 15,000 t.
In the Eastern Pacific, this species can be locally abundant. Data from the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC 2008) from 1976–2005 widely varies from 200 to 22,000 metric t, with a maximum of 22,000 metric t in 2001. Although there are no data on fishing effort, demand has not decreased. However, there have been many regional fishermen reporting that catches are decreasing, especially in Costa Rica and Ecuador where there are possibly localized declines in catch rates. In Peru, catch of this species is highly fluctuating; there was a catch in 2005–2006 of 2,000 and 4,000 mt by the artisanal fleet, but in 1998 21,000 t were caught after an El Niño event.
There is some evidence of multiple populations based on biological and morphological characteristics (Oxenford and Hunt 1986, Lessa et al. 2008, Duarte-Neto et al. 2008), however there is genetic connectivity between migratory groups in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM 2006) stock assessment recognized the uncertainty about stock structure and conducted separate analyses (one that recognizes separate north and southern stocks and one combining both). The conclusion from all of the assessments was that there was no decline in catch per unit effort (CPUE) indices and therefore the fishery appears sustainable at current levels. They did note the uncertainty and the need for more data from other countries within the stock area.
The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) 2010 stock assessment analysed data from the Caribbean, Venezuela, Brazil and the U.S. that corroborates that this species migrates from northern Brazil to the eastern Caribbean and may also enter the southeastern Caribbean Sea. The standardized CPUE indices for the eastern Caribbean corroborates that the stock is not declining. In Brazil there is evidence of at least two stocks, one in northern Brazil (shared with the Caribbean) and one in the northeastern Brazilian coast (Lessa et al. 2008). Although there is uncertainty in the data, the stock assessment in the northeast indicated that the stock is fully exploited (Lessa et al. 2009).
This species is widespread and is very common in the Mediterranean, and catches are increasing. The average catch from 2000 to 2009 was about 8,000–10,000 t per year (FAO 2009). Off the coast of Turkey it is seasonally common. FAO landing figures are available from Tunisia, Malta and Spain. Most of the current catch figures are from Tunisia and Spain and are currently increasing. Catches from Malta have remained relatively stable since 1950. The distribution of this species is expanding to the northern part of the western Mediterranean. Catches are much higher in late summer and early autumn.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Schools of Coryphaena hippurus can be found in open waters and near coastal areas. This species is found to a depth of 85 m. Its diet consists of smaller fishes, zooplankton, crustaceans, and squid.
This species is fast-growing, and matures relatively early. Maximum size is 200 cm, but more commonly is found to 100 cm.The all-tackle game fish record is of a 39.46 kg fish caught in Papagallo Gulf, Costa Rica in 1976 (IGFA 2011). Longevity can reach four years but is usually less than two years (Oxenford and Hunt 1983, Oxenford 1999, Lessa et al. 2008). Age at first maturity is three to four months in the Gulf of Mexico, four months in the Caribbean (Oxenford 1999), six to seven months in the northeastern North Atlantic, and four months in northeast Brazil (Lessa et al. 2008). Off North Carolina, males reach 50% maturity at 476 mm, 100% at 645 mm; females reach 50% maturity at 458 mm, 100% at 560 mm (Gibbs and Collette 1959, Oxenford 1999, Ditty 2005, Schwenke and Buckel 2008). In the eastern Caribbean, males reach 50% maturity at 91 cm fork length (FL) (four to five months old) and females at 83.5 cm FL (four to five months old) (Oxenford 1999). In Puerto Rico, 50% maturity is reached at 45 cm FL (greater than 7 months old) (Perez and Sadovy 1991).
Spawning is probably year-round at water temperatures greater than 21°C, and spawning occurs in the open water when water temperature rises. In temperate areas such as North Carolina, peak spawning occurs from April through July. In East African waters, spawning season may last from March to early June and spawning occurs inshore. In tropical regions spawning likely occurs year round. Batch spawning occurs at least two or three times per spawning period. Batch fecundity estimates in the west central Atlantic range from 58,000 to 1.5 million eggs and are strongly influenced by size (Gibbs and Collette 1959, Ditty 2005, Schwenke and Buckel 2008, Oxenford 1999). In southern Brazil, spawning occurs from November to February, at least between 20–28°S (Amorim, pers. comm. 2010).
|Movement patterns:
|Full Migrant
|Congregatory (and dispersive)
|Use and Trade:
|A very highly appreciated sportsfish and foodfish, frequently marketed under the Hawaiian name 'Mahi-mahi'. It is marketed frozen and fresh and is of high value.
|Major Threat(s):
There are no major threats known to this species. However, it is of high commercial value, with a global catch of 58,076 t in 2005, and is extensively harvested throughout its range (FAO-FIGIS 2005). There have been observed declines in catch in the Eastern Pacific, but this is thought to be a consequence of higher catches during El Niño events.
This species is caught in various types of fishing gear, including longlines, purse seine vessels, and recreational fishing vessels (Palko et al. 1982). It is one of the most important species in artisanal fisheries around the world.
In the Mediterranean, this species is caught in association with fish attracting devices (FADS), trolling line and sport fisheries. These attracting devices such as floating bundles of bamboo reeds or cork planks are used to concentrate Dolphinfish before nets are set. The use of FADS are increasing the bycatch of this species (Nelson pers. comm. 2010). Small quantities are taken as bycatch in longline and driftnet fisheries.
The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) recognizes that the lack of any institutional framework or regional body for collaborative or shared management of this resource is a concern given the increasing catches of this species in the region (CRFM 2006).
|Conservation Actions:
It is considered a highly migratory species under Annex I of the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea.
In Ecuador, there is a minimum catch size of 70 or 80 cm. In Mexico, there are area-closures for commercial fishing for this species, and a two fish sport limit. In the past, there have been conservation measures implemented by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) for no purse-seine fishing. In Ecuador, 50% of the fishing fleet, including those for tunas, use an experimental sorting grid to release juveniles, small tunas and other bycatch species. In 2005, a recreational fishing limit of five fish per fishermen per fishing day was established for this species in Puerto Rico (Rodrigues-Ferrer et al. 2006).
In the U.S., there are bag limits and size limits in the recreational fishery and size and trip limits in the commercial fishery (SAFMC 2003).
This species' distribution overlaps with a number of marine protected areas.

Asian Stock Prices Close Mixed
Asian shares closed mixed on Wednesday, with Tokyo stocks slipping for a second day but marginal gains seen in most smaller markets in the region.
Japan's benchmark 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average skidded 62.24 points, or 0.61 percent, to finish at 10,192.57. On Tuesday, the average fell 80.64 points, or 0.78 percent.
After an initial climb, the stock market shed its gains on mild selling amid lackluster trade. Dealers said people were skittish of big investments ahead of the long New Year's break.
In currency trading, money dealers cashed in dollar gains, pushing the U.S. greenback lower against the Japanese yen after it rose to a three-year high earlier in the session.
The U.S. dollar was quoted at 130.72 yen in late Wednesday trading, down 0.04 yen from late Tuesday in Tokyo. Exchange markets in both London and New York were closed Tuesday for national holidays.
The greenback reached as high as 131.02 yen during morning trading Wednesday as Zembei Mizoguchi, chief of the international bureau with the Ministry of Finance, said the yen's recent move was a corrective phase. It last traded above the 131 yen mark on Oct. 6, 1998.
Japanese officials favor a weaker yen because it makes Japanese exports cheaper abroad and thus would help boost the recession-hit country's export-oriented economy.
Markets remained closed in Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand for the Christmas holidays.
BANGKOK: Thai stocks edged up slightly on active trade in financial and property stocks after the central bank cut its interest rate by a quarter-point Tuesday.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand Index finished 2.63 points, or 0.9 percent, higher at 304.44.
JAKARTA: Indonesian shares ended mixed in lethargic trade, but selling in telecommunication stocks pushed the index marginally lower. The JSX Composite index lost 0.283 points, or 0.07 percent, to 377.968.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian shares rose on selective year-end buying by local institutional funds. The benchmark Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Composite Index, which tracks 100 blue chips, gained 9.72 points, or 1.5 percent, to 679.30.
MANILA: Philippine shares closed mixed, with the main index dragged slightly down by a mild sell-off in select blue chips. The 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange Index slipped 0.48 point, or 0.04 percent, to 1,145.49.
SEOUL: South Korean shares climbed on hopes of an imminent recovery in the semiconductor industry. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index, or Kospi, gained 7.38 points, or 1.1 percent, to 653.87.
SINGAPORE: Singapore shares rose marginally in the first day of post-Christmas trading amid extremely thin trading. The Straits Times Index closed up 5.64 points, or 0.4 percent, at 1,586.97.
TAIPEI: Taiwan shares closed slightly higher as fund managers continued to buy shares before the end of the year. The Weighted Price Index of the Taiwan Stock Exchange gained 19.62 points, or 0.4 percent, to 5,392.43.

1995 -
Below is the text of Mr Major's speech at the Conservative Central Council Meeting at the International Convention Centre at Birmingham, on Saturday 1st April 1995.
We've had a great Conference here in Birmingham. Our first, but not our last.
This Central Council has often in the past been a platform for a change in our fortunes.
Three years ago -
I believed we would win -
Now we have two years, with a strong recovery at our side.
So let me tell you something loud and clear right at the start. I believe we will win again.
I have no time for faint hearts.
The next election is there to be won. By the party with the verve and tenacity to reach out to people and catch their imagination.
We did it before. We can do it again.
And I expect every single person in our Party to want it, and work for it, as hard as I will.
To those who say look at the polls, I simply say this: it is possible to look at the polls too much and your principles too little.
I have a way in life. I learned it as a boy. I offer it to you. Stick to your principles. Stick to your guns. However rough the going may be, just keep going.
So today I'm going to tell you how we're going to win back the faith and trust of the British people.
Let me take you back to five years ago when I became Chancellor of the Exchequer. Let me tell you what was on my mind. I looked back on 50 years of a boom and bust economy. Good years. Followed by bad years. If the good years coincided with elections, you won. If they didn't, you lost.
Over generations, we slipped back economically as a country. I grew up in that period. Even from the back streets of Brixton I found it depressing. And I was determined to try and change it. To help our economy to grow and to beat other countries.
For the truth is that without growth every year, no Government will be able to improve education and health, increase pensions, provide care in the community, better law and order or anything else.
But I want those improvements.
So I need long-
You know what I mean. We are the Party of low taxes. But we had to put them up. Now the economy is growing again and we can look forward to bringing them down.
We are the Party of law and order. But crime continued to rise. So we put through controversial measures to tackle it. Now recorded crime is beginning to fall -
We're the Party of personal well-
So times are changing. And so will the political climate. The country has been through a difficult period. No doubt we've made mistakes. But we have learned from them. We have weathered the storm. And now we are poised to return to our natural agenda from a position of strength. Unrestrained by the iron bands of recession, the country can look forward with confidence.
In all we've done we have been playing for the long-
No one has achieved that before. It's meant saying 'no' to short-
It did hurt. I said it would. I told people in 1989 -
The prize at stake is that, after the next election, the Government in office will inherit the soundest, most secure economy of any Government since the 1st World War. It will be able to address its social and political agenda more freely than any predecessor.
Mr Chairman, I want that Government to be a Conservative Government.
It is a massive achievement. We can be proud of it. So let's use every day and every hour and every minute of the next two years to tell people of the great future that lies ahead and once again earn their trust and support.
That's the fight ahead of us. I relish it. It is a fight we can win.
Our work is long-
And while we've been doing this, where have Labour been? In the lobbies -
Now they say they've changed. They say they're changing everything they've always stood for. They claim to be entering our world.
If they want to fight us on that ground, I look forward to it. They've been squatting here a few months. We've been living here for centuries.
Ours isn't an off-
Our policies flow from core convictions, gut instincts, beliefs and ideals we've all grown up with.
In these debates we are in copperbottomed, mainstream Conservative home territory. And no slick, sloganising, snake-
Labour today is just one more synthetic PR campaign. The workers are out. The minders are in.
Their ideas are picked up from opinion polls, techniques derived from advertisements, language copied from us.
Nothing is original. All is derivative.
And if there's one thing we've learned lately, it is that trading in derivatives is a risky business.
Let me illustrate Labour's technique for you.
Last week the Leader of the Labour Party said Conservatives don't understand duty, nor do they act upon it.
Frankly, for that comment, he deserved to be laughed at from Lands End to John O' Groats.
Duty, responsibility, self-
Perhaps, Mr Blair simply intended a casual political kick. After all, it's the sort of scatter-
The technique is old and effective -
Well, I know this Tory Party.
I grew up in it.
I am of it -
And I know we're none of the things Labour claim and we never have been. Duty and responsibility are instinctive to Conservatives as a Party, and as people.
Ask the huge number of Conservatives who run Voluntary Service, Meals on Wheels, Citizen's Advice Bureaux, Red Cross shops, and a hundred thousand charities up and down the land.
I will tell you who attack duty and responsibility. Those politicians who claim the state is responsible for everything and everyone.
Those who believe the welfare state should cope with everything.
Those who promise that whatever the problem is. the Government can cure it.
And we know who those politicians are. And they're not in the Conservative Party. They're in the Labour Party.
Mr Chairman, we Conservatives have not changed our fundamental values for 250 years. Our ambitions and hopes have moved forward. But our values have been constant.
In 1979 we promised to get Britain off its knees and on its feet. To end hyperinflation, curb old style Union power, turn round loss-
We've done that. Now we must turn to the future.
Some months ago I set in hand a massive exercise to build the next phase of Conservatism -
This work is in its early stages -
First, that most fundamental of Tory instincts, the pursuit of prosperity and security for all.
Prosperity begets security. But prosperity doesn't drop as the gentle rain from heaven. It has to be earned.
Our industry has to be competitive. Britain must mean business. Britain must believe, in business. Britain must reward hard work. And must welcome the healthy profits of success.
I'll tell you when we'll know for certain that prosperity will grow in this country. When our leading companies are world beaters. When our exports are booming. And when Britain is a magnet for foreign investment. That's when we'll create new jobs and lasting wealth.
Mr Chairman, I have news for you -
Toyota, Nissan, NEC, Samsung. Record inward investment. Attracted here not by sound bites, but by sound Tory policy.
Mr Chairman, we're here today in Birmingham, the heart of one of the great manufacturing regions of Europe. And I have good news for Birmingham. After decades of decline manufacturing is growing and expanding.
Despite automation the number of jobs in manufacturing is growing as well.
And something is happening today that I didn't expect to see for years: Britain now has a current account surplus with Japan -
This is Britain as she was -
And this is Britain as I want to see her.
Our prosperity must be built on things we make as well as services we sell.
We're looking at how to improve services to industry. To see what more Government can do to help.
Many of the things we sell will be made by small businesses. That is where the future jobs will come.
So we're looking at still more ways to encourage them.
We'll be making deeper cuts in regulation and red tape. And let no-
And that includes the Social Chapter of which Labour are so fond.
There's a world of new technology out there. We have to provide industry with the modern skills they need.
Britain must be a world leader in the new industries of media and information technology. So we will soon announce new measures to ensure it is.
Britain must have the best qualified workforce in Europe.
By the year 2000 we are aiming for over 80 per cent of our young people to have 5 or more good GCSEs or their vocational equivalent.
We want to make sure all our school leavers are good enough to get a job.
We've made giant strides forward. Creating 41 new universities; bringing in tough new vocational qualifications to enhance skills and test the mind. We've set a long-
These changes will accelerate. They are the building blocks for prosperity. The humdrum, everyday policies that improve lives and build the security we seek.
Mr Chairman, the second thing we stand for is a nation of opportunity.
For the right to own and the power to choose.
Ownership is the very core of Conservatism. We believe in a capital-
We believe in a fair reward for hard work. And we're going to carry those principles into the future.
So let me tell you again today. We're committed to continue cutting rates of income tax in the future -
We Conservatives believe in thrift, with individuals encouraged to build up tax-
I also hold dear the belief that people should be able to hand on security to their children, cascading wealth down the generations. Over the last decade we've doubled the threshold at which inheritance tax becomes payable. It's been difficult to go further in the last two or three difficult years. But I'm committed to doing so as soon as we can afford it.
I also want to provide more opportunity for people to help others. The talents and experience of pensioners are too often wasted at the moment. They should be used in ways that fulfil their lives and benefit the rest of us. It is high time that retirement was recognised as the opening up of new opportunity, not a drawing down of blinds.
All of that also means building on that explosion of giving, and working and helping others that has marked the last twenty years. Do you know that 17 million people volunteer every year -
But while they've been prattling, we've been planning.
So in June we will announce a comprehensive programme for voluntary service. It will cover all ages. It will be the most far-
Nowhere is Conservative belief in opportunity and choice more important than in housing. The Right to Buy is not a chapter of history. It's not yesterday; it's today. 70,000 families a year are still becoming homeowners as a result of Right to Buy and similar schemes.
But there's always more to do. Too many people are still trapped in grey, impersonal housing estates. Shortly we'll bring forward a Housing White Paper. It will show how we could offer a choice of decent housing for everybody -
On education, while I know this year's settlement has been tight, I can assure you -
I also want to see more Grant-
And, because opportunities start with the young, we will shortly also publish plans to fulfil our pledge to expand nursery education for all children aged four.
These are practical steps to give people more control over their lives. Taken together, they amount to a massive and irreversible shift of power and choice from the state to individuals and their families.
Mr Chairman, the third pillar of our beliefs is that we stand foursquare for decent commonsense values. That's true across the board -
When I became Prime Minister I took the view that it was time to understand a little less and condemn a little more. By that I meant that we shouldn't explain away why people commit crime. We should just say bluntly: "it's wrong".
Michael Howard has been acting on this -
He deserves 100 per cent support from all of us -
Too much of that abuse has come from Labour. They know they have to talk about law and order. But talk is all they do. They talk tough and act soft. Time and again they have voted against our plans to prevent and punish crime.
Mr Chairman, we stand for commonsense justice -
So we've asked a leading judge to look into court procedures in civil cases, to bring faster and less costly judgments.
And we are also out to streamline criminal justice. That must include a change to the rules on disclosure. These place a very heavy burden on the prosecution and police, going beyond the balance that justice demands. Informants and witnesses can be put at risk. The police believe these rules should be changed -
I expect some of you know victims or witnesses who have felt shabbily treated on a visit to court -
In the war on crime we're applying new technology. We're introducing more and more closed-
This month we're giving police wider powers to take DNA samples to help catch criminals. We will build up a national DNA database -
Thousands of people want to help our police. So we are having a national call for volunteers to increase the number of special constables up towards 30,000. And those constables will be out on the beat.
Mr Chairman, we are an open-
We are reforming the probation service -
And we will be experimenting with tougher new penalties for young offenders. It is right to have an alternative to prison. But I don't believe it should be a gentle Saturday afternoon stroll.
And, yes, we must sort out problems that have arisen in some prisons. I was as angry as anyone to read of prison officers shopping for inmates. I am not against decent treatment. But I believe privileges should be earned -
We are ready to look at anything which will deter crime and make it more likely that we will catch criminals. That's why I can also confirm that we will soon publish a Green Paper to canvass public views on possible ways to bring in identity cards. And I hope in the debate that will follow you will make your voice heard.
Fourthly, Mr Chairman, just as we stand against crime, we stand for first class public services. Back in 1990 I set out to sweep away those old patronising couldn't-
So we began a 10-
Of course, services like health and education will always be provided in the public sector. But others need not. That's why Britain led the world in denationalisation -
Privatisation has been a huge success. Perhaps that's why it's under such vicious attack from Labour. Prices have come down dramatically -
Privatisation has worked wonders. And I don't have a shred of doubt privatising British Rail will be a success. Nationalised British Rail has not delivered the service it should. It can and will be done better in the private sector.
Labour talk of reversing the public sector changes we've made. They would throw hospitals, railways and schools back into turmoil.
Dogma might win -
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Mr Chairman, we stand for the nation -
We will do everything necessary to defend our nation. In the 1980s Conservative Governments stood firm against communism. The result? The cold war was won -
Today Britain is a leader right across the world -
We treasure our links with the Commonwealth -
Our influence in Asia and the Middle East is creating new opportunities for exports and trade.
And we for our part -
Britain has a world identity. But we also have a special place in moulding the future of Europe. You know well where I stand. In this dangerous and changing world this great alliance serves our vital national interest.
Yes, we benefit from Europe -
And there's another side to our nation. We love our traditions of sport, the arts, and our national heritage. But always in the past it was difficult for those causes to compete with the great claims on national resources like health, education and defence. That's why I set up the national lottery -
Mr Chairman, I care about the integrity of our country at home as passionately as I do for its interest abroad. So that is why we'll work to expose the fantastic folly of Labour's plans for a tax-
It would destroy jobs in Scotland, saddle all Scots with a Tartan Tax and damage our influence abroad. The nation we believe in is a United Kingdom -
Mr Chairman, there is another part of our United Kingdom that is particularly close to my heart. I will continue day and night to do what I judge to be right to bring long-
Mr Chairman, we have much to be proud of, we Conservatives. But we have much more still to achieve. Today I have shared with you just a few of the new ideas on which we are working. The work of government moves on -
We have to remind people that the essential things we stand for are, as always, the things they believe in too.
The pillars of Conservatism are as strong as ever:
Mr Chairman, those are the things we stand for. The things we are working for. They are why Britain needs a Conservative Government to lead this country into the next millennium.
Yes, we have a tough fight on our hands. But I have never run away from any fight in my life. And this is one more battle that, with your help, I intend to win.

The NEO Hazard: NASA and Planetary Defense
A Presentation by Rob Landis and Dr. Kelly Fast
Date: Sat. March 11
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Cost: $10, $8 for members
Near-Earth Objects or 'NEOs' are leftover bits of solar system jetsam and flotsam that have been nudged into orbit around the Earth, allowing them to come within our close vicinity. NASA recently established a new office to coordinate planetary defense-related activities to mitigate the hazard of potential impact by such asteroids. Learn more about possible asteroid impacts, and NASA protection efforts at 'Imiloa Astronomy Center's upcoming astronomy talk with Rob Landis and Dr. Kelly Fast on Saturday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m.
The creation of the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) is a logical extension of NASA's NEO Observations programs, which began nearly two decades ago. Since that program's inception in 1998, NASA-funded endeavors have discovered more than 98% of all new NEOs. Observatories on Hawai'i Island and Maui are key to these discoveries and help us better understand the makeup of these celestial vagabonds in our neighborhood.
In their presentation, Fast and Landis will share current efforts to detect, track, and characterize comets and asteroids that come close to Earth. They will also discuss the steps that NASA plans to take to deflect a potential asteroid on an impact trajectory.
Landis is currently assigned to the NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and is an engineer within the Planetary Science Division, Science Mission Directorate. He's had a varied career on several NASA space missions including the Hubble Space Telescope, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn (and Titan), the Mars Exploration Rovers and the International Space Station. He received his B.S. in Astrophysics from Michigan State University and his M.S. in Space Studies from the University of North Dakota.
Dr. Fast manages the Near-Earth Object Observations Program in NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, where she is also the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) Program Scientist. Fast earned her Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of Maryland. She studied the atmospheres of Mars, Jupiter and Titan as an astronomer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center before coming to NASA Headquarters in 2011.
General admission tickets are $10, $8 for members (member level discounts apply). Pre-purchase tickets at 'Imiloa's front desk or by phone at 808-932-8901.

I currently reside in Halifax, Nova Scotia and I'm a proud dual citizen of Canada and the United States. Before Halifax I lived in Toronto, ON for over 13 years. I also lived in NYC for a short period of time, but I grew up in the small border town of Youngstown, NY (about 40 minutes outside of Buffalo, NY).
Even as a young child I loved reading, and writing, especially stories that involved the more macabre and mysterious aspects of life. I remember some of the first horror books I ever read were those of R.L. Stein. I emulated to write books just like the ones I read at the time.
At the age of 10, in a "creative" writing class I was pulled aside by my teacher and told very firmly to stop writing stories that were "so gory". While other children were authoring works about Arnold Schwarzenegger swooping through windows to save their lives, I was spinning tales about trunk loads of glowing human skulls and amulets that possessed their owners.
I quickly ate through my local library's entire sections on the paranormal, true crime, serial killers, magic, and hypnosis. By the age of 11, I had graduated to reading "IT" by Stephen King, hidden in my school desk (much to the dismay of one math teacher who wrote home that I "read too much!"). I would write long winding novels about shapeshifters and fantasy worlds, slowly honing my skills.
I also spent countless hours watching films my parents didn't want me to see: "Gremlins" (still one of my favorite Christmas movies), "Critters", "Killer Klowns From Outer Space", and a slew of other awful movies and cult classics. I got my first taste of the undead at an impressionable age with George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead", and solidified my love of horror with movies like "Alien", "The Shining", "The Exorcist", and "Jaws". I also whet my appetite with non-horror movies such as The Dark Crystal, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Terminator, and everybody's favorite: Die Hard.
The older I got, and the more I learned about the art of writing, the more I knew writing was my only true path. Now I funnel my creative energies into penning short stories, and novels. I work hard and love what I do.

V Festival Tickets
The V Festival is an annual rock festival in England, the
first to be held simultaneously at two sites - currently Hylands Park
in Essex and Weston Park in Staffordshire. Originally, the festival
took the name of the current year, with the first festival "V96". It
discarded its year specific name in 2003 since it has been known as
simply the V Festival.
The "V" in V Festival represents the Virgin Group, and began as another means of promoting Richard Branson's companies. The event is sponsored by Virgin Mobile, with Virgin Radio the official radio station. Many international musicans perform at the event in a wide range of musical genres.
V Festival Tickets available now! ShowTime Ticket Services specializes in tickets for all tour venues.
V Festival Tickets continued.
V Festival Tickets Continued
The V Festival generally takes place during the penultimate weekend of August. Its weekend format, low queuing times and professional organisation have given it a loyal audience. The festival sold out in record time in 2005.
Although predominantly rock music, the V Festival books a wide range of music and is probably the most likely amongst UK festivals to book some pop acts each year. Mel C, Dido and N.E.R.D. have all performed at the festival. The North American counterpart to the V Festival is the Virgin Festival, which premiered in 2006.

Windows Mobile: The latest member of the Microsoft Windows CE operating system family used to power PDAs and smartphones. According to Gartner, Windows Mobile topped the 2005 PDA OS market at 46 percent. However, Windows represents but a small fraction of smartphone sales. Earlier generations of this OS were called Handheld PC (HPC) and Pocket PC (PPC), as illustrated by this timeline. This article focuses on Windows Mobile 5, which has two variants: one for full-function PDAs and another for limited application smartphones.
For example, consider the Verizon Wireless XV6700: a Windows Mobile 5 PDA with Microsoft Office Mobile applications, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GRPS, and EV-DO wireless.
Symbian OS: Runs on smartphones sold by Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, and many other cell phone vendors. According to Canalys, Nokia's Symbian OS sales represented nearly 55 percent of the smartphone market in 2005. Although Symbian started as a phone OS, it has grown increasingly powerful. The current version, Symbian OS 9, includes several built-in application services, as well as APIs for third-party application development.
For example, consider the Nokia N80: a Symbian S60 smartphone designed to enable internet, e-mail, web, and multimedia access over USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GSM, and UMTS 3G wireless.
Palm OS: Several generations have powered Palm PDAs and Treo smartphones. Palm OS ranked third in the 2005 PDA market and a distant second (8 percent) in 2005 smartphone sales. Most devices manufactured by Palm run the Palm OS, but Palm now also sells a Windows Mobile smartphone. At this time, the most recent Palm OS is version 6, also known as Cobalt.
For example, consider the Treo 700p: a Palm OS 5.4.9 smartphone with Microsoft Office Mobile applications, integrated QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, cmdaOne, 1xRTT, and EV-DO 3G wireless. Note: Sibling Treo 700w has similar hardware/features, but runs Windows Mobile instead of Palm OS.
BlackBerry OS: Runs on handheld devices sold by Research In Motion (RIM). In fact, BlackBerry is really the trademarked name for devices that run RIM's OS. RIM placed second in the 2005 PDA market and ranked third (7.5 percent) in 2005 smartphone sales. Third parties can now develop BlackBerry software using APIs offered by this proprietary OS, currently at version 4.
For example, consider the BlackBerry 8700c: a Bluetooth-enabled handheld that uses GSM, GPRS, or EDGE wireless for voice, internet, or corporate data access via BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) for Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, or Novell Groupwise.
There are, of course, other mobile operating systemsincluding dozens of mobile devices run unique incarnations of embedded Linux. (Efforts are now underway to create a uniform Linux environment for mobile devices.)
In Parts 2 and 3 of this article, we will explore security capabilities and solutions for these dominant mobile operating systems.

112 pages, colour illustrations
Sometimes a friendly fireside companion, more often elusive and independent, the cat possesses an enigmatic appeal and unfathomable mystery, which have inspired writers poets, artists and craftsmen alike from the illuminations of the Lindisfarne Gospels to Rudyard Kipling. The illustrations in this survey of the development of the cat and its special relationship with people over 7000 years are drawn mainly from the collections of the British and Natural History Museums, both rich in catimagery from many cultures and civilizations. This book looks at the different roles cats have played in human life and also describes the various modern pedigree breeds – from short-haired tabby to long-haired Persian – which have evolved from theoriginal wild cat.

Michael Cera Would Consider Arrested Development Film (If a Script Actually Existed)
Somebody please send Cera a script!
If you've spent the last few days prodding your DIY voodoo doll of Michael Cera with a frozen banana in hopes that it will convince him to sign on for the Arrested Development movie, you may be causing more harm than good. "There's no script or anything, so the movie is more hypothetical than people think," the indie hero told MTV News. "I'd possibly play the part, I'd possibly put the script in my shredder."

SANTA ANA, Calif. --California has filed a lawsuit against Orange County, saying the county used education money to balance its budget. The suit is the latest twist in a long-running dispute.
Last year, California stopped giving Orange County extra money from vehicle license fees. State leaders said the county was no longer entitled to money after recovering from its 1994 bankruptcy.
But state leaders said the county then redirected tax dollars intended for schools to cover the $48 million in lost license fees. County officials argued that K-12 schools would not suffer because the state is obligated to backfill that money.
The lawsuit, filed in Orange County Superior Court, asks a judge to force the auditor-controller to return the money.
A hearing has yet to be scheduled.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Across the northern part of the Mozambique Channel, you will find this little corner of paradise nestled in the heart of Indian Ocean, between the east coast of Africa and Madagascar. Its total area is 2015 km2.
The history of the Comoros Islands is an invitation to travel: with an Arab inheritance, these islands have fascinated the former sultanates of the high civilization of Islam. Phoenicians, Egyptians and Syrians invaded the Comoros since the ancient times. At the beginning of ninth century, Arab traders, Black Bantus and Indonesians settled in the Comoros. Between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries, we saw the influx of chiraziens in the archipelago; they established the institution of sultanates; that political system will remain in force until the nineteenth century.
The Comoros make you discover the richnesses of thousand-year-old civilizations, a diversity of culture, and reflection of the interbreeding of the Comorian people. This rich culture is reflected by Medina narrow streets and old remains.
Our country, called the scent islands is a natural reserve of many perfume plants like the ylang-ylang, the jasmine, combava, patchouli and so one. He is among the bigger producers and exporters of vanilla and clove in the world.
The Comoros are home to many amazing natural beauty due to its insularity. The rate of endemism of the flora and fauna of land and marine (seaweed) is very high. It is normal that the Comoros place ecotourism at the top of their priorities.
Deep-sea diving is one of the favorite activities of the visitors of Comoros. Sea-beds shelter a rainbow corals and fish rare, single, which move in bands close the dimensions, bathing in a sea of a turquoise blue. The funds submarines shelter the alive old fossil of 300 million years, the Coelacanth, testifying mainly on the Comorian seas. This fish is the contempory of the dinosaurs.
You are welcome to Comoros to benefit from all we have to offer to you: security, relaxation hours, savours, the scents and legendary hospitality.
Dear tourists and visitors, we just tell you KARIBU IN COMOROS, our beautiful country.

Actor Armie Hammer was left red-faced on Tuesday (28Jul15) after inadvertently sharing nude photos of himself with his hairstylist as he gushed about his baby girl.
The Social Network star became a first-time father in December (14), when his wife Elizabeth Chambers gave birth to their daughter Harper, and he proudly showed off pictures of the tot as he was getting his hair cut before an appearance on talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
However, it was only after he had been flipping through the images on his phone that Hammer realized the snaps revealed much more than he had intended.
He explains to host Jimmy Kimmel, "I found out today that I have nude pictures on my phone, I'm not kidding. I went out to get a haircut, 'cause this is a special occasion, I'm gonna be on the Kimmel show, so I went to get my haircut and then (I) said, 'I just had a daughter,' and she said, 'Do you have any pictures of your daughter?' I said, 'Of course, I've got tons of pictures.
"And I'm going through my phone and there's pictures of my daughter and I get to pictures where she's sitting in the sink and she's kinda lounging up on the sink and she looks like she's having the time of her life. I'm showing her these pictures, I go, 'Look at how cute she is, we're in the bathroom, she's just right in the bathtub.'
"After showing her these pictures for about 30 seconds, I realize I'm standing fully nude in the mirror of this bathroom. As quickly and casually as possible, I went, 'Anyway, you get the picture.'"
Luckily, Hammer reveals he was saved from further embarrassment as the hairdresser made no mention of the extra exposure.

I found 4SeasonsNurseries.com through a catalog given to me by a relative and thought I would give them a try. The prices were the best I have found anywhere so being skeptical, I kept my order small. After reviewing their catalog, I found the Rose of Sharons for under $2 each as they had a buy one get a second for a penny. I had seen them at Home Depot for $25 each so I figured I couldn't go wrong with those prices and decided to order 6 of them. Order was placed in May of 2008 and the plants received 2-3 weeks later. The plants I received were 1-2 foot bare root stems with no leaves. Roots looked good so I preceeded to plant them according to the provided instructions.
To be honest I didn't have much faith in them doing much but just 3 days after planting, the stems began to show signs of life. All 6 began to leaf at the same time and basically took off from there. As of this writing, they are now about 4-5 feet tall and growing nicely. All are full of flower buds which should emerge throughout this month. 3 of them have already produced their first flower! I was amazed by the flowering and vigor of these plants being that they have been in the ground for just 3 short months. In short, I am very satisfied with the purchase and have ordered many more plants from them. If you decide to purchase plants from 4SeasonsNurseries.com or any other retailer for that matter, I suggest that they are planted in the spring or early summer. This gives the bare root plants/trees some time to establish themselves before winter. This also eliminates any timing issues that occur from ordering in the Fall. By planting them in the Spring, you will not run into any issues if they arrive too lat or a little early versus ordering in the fall and getting them too early or too late. I should also mention that this plant is a late bloomer so give it plenty of time before pronouncing it dead. Bellow are some pics from the actual plants I have in my yard.

Are you contemplating withdrawing your pension pot as cash? If so, what will you do with it? According to research from MGM Advantage, almost a third would look to reinvest it elsewhere – but they've warned that doing so could substantially reduce its value.
The figures show that, even though just 13% of those surveyed plan to withdraw more from their pension than the tax-free allowance following the new freedoms, 28% of those are planning to invest the money elsewhere. This could have worrying implications in terms of investment value, and there are concerns that many could suffer significant losses and receive poor outcomes, says MGM.
Putting the cash into other investment vehicles could be a highly risky move. Not only do other investments not come with the same tax benefits as a pension, but you'd have to be certain of your new investment's performance to ensure you'd be better off. You wouldn't get the same guarantees as with an annuity, either, and that's before we get to the tax implications of such a move – the first 25% of your pot may be tax-free, but the rest is taxed, so you could be sacrificing a lot for the potential of minimal reward.
Andrew Tully of MGM said: "Pensions are a really tax efficient way to invest. If people are planning to take money out just to invest elsewhere, then they are taking a gamble. Not only will they pay income tax on the withdrawal, but they are moving from tax-free growth in the pension wrapper to a potentially taxed environment. You need to be banking on some pretty startling returns on the new investment to make this financially worthwhile. Frankly, the idea is bonkers; there could be a serious loss of value at a critical time for people managing their retirement expectations."
Wanting to reinvest is the second most-favoured reason for withdrawing cash among MGM Advantage's respondents, with other key reasons including the desire to generate a retirement income (30%), concern that they won't be able to access their money in the future (27%), and paying off debt (23%). Holidays (16%), helping children or grandchildren (11%), buying a car (9%), and paying off an interest-only mortgage (7%) also featured on the list, while 6% said they'd been advised it was a good idea, and 5% were planning to purchase a buy-to-let property with the cash.
No matter what your reasons for taking the cash may be, make sure to thoroughly consider the options before you take the plunge. If you're not happy with the performance of your pension, for example, then you could look into changing the funds held within it rather than removing the cash altogether, because you may regret it later on. And, an absolute must is to make sure you seek suitable advice – your pension is designed to ensure that you've got an income throughout retirement, and you wouldn't want to jeopardise that.
"At its most fundamental, what our research shows us is that the new pension freedoms deliver increased choice and complexity in almost equal amounts," added Tully. "People very often know what they want to achieve, but, without help, could make some financially damaging decisions in trying to get there. These are not decisions to take lightly, so ideally people would seek professional financial advice to ensure they're making the right decisions for their own circumstances."

JALAPA, Nicaragua — Along the dirt streets of this war-weary town near the Honduran border, a new preschool is going up, newly installed chlorinators will soon treat the community's well water, and studies are under way for a sanitary sewer system. In a town just to the south, a primary school is under construction.
All of these projects have two things in common: They have thus far escaped the violence of the war waged on Nicaragua by American-backed rebels or contras --and they are all the work of Americans.
More important, they are signs of a virtually unnoticed but massive flow of aid to Nicaragua from U.S. citizens--materials, labor, money, health care and educational and technical assistance worth at least $24.8 million thus far.
For even as President Reagan declares the Sandinista government a threat to U.S. security, citizen efforts are growing across the United States to help those the Sandinistas govern.

In a humid summer afternoon in 1992, I received an unexpected birthday gift. It was my first camera, a Contax RTS II. It was a dark and beautiful creature, and immediately captured the little boy's soul. In my younger days, I was inspired to seize the unnoticed moments in the day-to-day life. Soon, I developed a sense to retell stories with photographs. I believed that the truly great photos require absolute truthfulness. This notion had accompanied me to the teenage years. Yet it was challenged when I slowly realized the reality is seen through perspective, rendered in the mind of each individual. As my understanding of the world around me deepened, plain photographs no longer told these stories in my mind. Years later, when I started helping on set at a fashion photo studio, I came to the realization of what photography meant to me as an artistic tool. There has always been a part of me that is cold yet wild that is rooting deep underneath my warm and friendly personality. Working on fashion stories is a deeply satisfying experience. It helps me to express the withdrawn and arrogant side of my pandaly heart. 🐼
I am currently located in New York City. Some of my photographs are available for purchase, either for collection or commercial purposes. I am also available for hire for either fashion or art projects. Due to my other devotions (mainly software design and development), international travel is not preferable. That being said, I love to travel to new places. So, don't be discouraged.

The ColonelSeptember 01, 2011
In our hallways, bedrooms and dining rooms, we have people who have unselfishly served in the U.S. Armed Forces. As young people, they left the familiarity of their hometowns and created their own piece of history. When I first met 93-year-old Vivian, she was sitting erect in her wheelchair, shoulders squared with her body "at attention." Her snow white hair framed her face and her strikingly blue eyes glared at me.

IIT Architecture's new curriculum is structured around our innovative "horizontal Cloud Studio"—a school-wide educational and research laboratory in which students from all degree programs work together on research and design topics related to the metropolis.
These topics will be further defined by yearly themes that will shape the program of visiting professors and lecturers, so that the horizontal studio will offer a chance for students to be taught directly by some of the world's leading architects. By combining advanced professional students (B.Arch., M.Arch., and M.L.A.) with those in the post-professional programs (M.S. and Ph.D.), the horizontal studio provides a chance for students to experience other modes of studying and working on the built environment, and the opportunity for some to define themselves by moving into one of these advanced degree programs.

Check out Charlie, a Catholic Lay Evangelist - wait a few seconds while it loads up. He's gonna preach:
I love this guy.
Question: Is the Spanish translation of Scripture used in the Mass as flat and unpoetical as the NAB. The best indictment of this translation is that no one uses it except in the Liturgy.
One of the bloggers had an interesting comment that John and Mary seem easily confused and yet they are expected to be able to "fully and actively" participate in the Mass. That seems somewhat schizophrenic.
It's more than just the translations used in the Mass. I'm still ticked off that the 'opening hymn' has become the 'gathering song'. Guess that modern Joe and Mary Catholic are believed to be too stupid to know what a 'hymn' is. Then again, with what's been foisted upon us in the last two decades, maybe it's insulting to call those numbers 'hymns'. End of rant!
Bishop Trautperson heads the Liturgy for the Bishops. He
appears to be much more moronic than those he thinks are too stupid to understand the basic english vocabulary.
I've been thinking lately that if everything is supposed to be so dag-blamed contemporary, then it's time to get away from what was contemporary 40-50 years ago when all these hippie-dippie liberals were just starting their missions to wreck society and move to what's contemporary NOW. In other words, whether we go traditional or not their day is OVER. It's history, as they're so fond of saying about Latin.

Basic VETT Principles
Basic Principles
Venturi-Enhanced Turbine Technology (VETT) is a unique patented technology that uses Bernoulli's 18th century Venturi principles to draw a primary flow of water through the device creating a pump with no moving parts. VETT's Venturi pump draws a higher velocity secondary flow which drives a conventional axial flow turbine - the only underwater moving part. This allows it to function at an amplified head drop under a higher efficiency.
VETT is essentially the development of a technology that captures the energy from moving water everywhere. VETT generates low-cost electricity, using a no-moving-parts Venturi Pump to amplify the head across a small high-speed, highly efficient turbine. This enables the structure and cost of the VETT to be kept to a minimum, producing low cost renewable electricity potentially competitive with the use of fossil fuels.
