Arizona Politician Pushes to Make Online Impersonation a Felony
Anyone who knows their way around the Internet has undoubtedly seen Twitter accounts designed to parody certain celebrities or even religious icons but Arizona representative Michelle Ugenti is pushing to make such online impersonation a class 5 felony. Rep. Ugenti herself and many other political figures have been targets of this practice, usually designed to publicly ridicule or exaggerate statements made by the person being impersonated.
Dell's Downward Spiral
Dell has been fighting an uphill battle against Apple in an effort to dominate the PC marketplace for 10 years now and now finds itself in a life-or-death struggle to remain afloat after numerous failures. Going as far back as the 2003 Dell Inspiron 8600, Dell products have been plagued with faulty hardware, prone to failure, and unintuitive design that served only to alienate customers and drive them towards the often more expensive but more reliable Apple products. In 2010, after the company began to move towards the production of mobile devices, Dell VP Brad Anderson acknowledged that Dell is "no longer a PC company."
Sprint Loses $1.32 Billion in Q4 2012
While third-place wireless carrier Sprint scored its highest quarterly iPhone sales record yet with over 2.2 million units, the company is still suffering crippling losses of over $1.32 billion from the final quarter of 2012 due to the shutdown of its Nextel network, Hurricane Sandy, and a host of other complications. While Japanese carrier SoftBank is slated to acquire the struggling company, the acquisition has not yet been finalized but is expected to breathe new life into Sprint's bottom line by mid-2013.
Android Devices Vulnerable to Hacking Due to Fragmentation
While most desktop operating systems and even gaming consoles these days receive software updates every few months in order to safeguard against security vulnerabilities and provide new features to consumers, mobile devices are not always so fortunate. While Apple maintains a rigorous updating schedule for the company's flagship iPhone devices, Android devices receive updates much less frequently due to many carriers' overly-burdensome modifications to the OS that must be tested, analyzed, and re-tested before they can be released to customers. As a result, depending on the carrier, Android devices can fall months or even years behind the latest updates and this exposes them to vulnerabilities that could be exploited by enterprising hackers and scammers.
Microsoft Looks to Release a Linux Version of Office in 2014
Microsoft is reportedly planning an unprecedented business move by releasing a commercial version of their wildly popular Microsoft Office suite designed for Linux. Never before has the company dabbled in software for the open-source platform, but recent developments in producing an Android-friendly version of Office for use on mobile devices has made the transition to Linux much easier. While the limited popularity of Linux means the software is unlikely to sell in large quantities, the mere availability of MS Office may usher in a Linux boom amongst businesses afraid to adopt the platform in the past.

Brian Johnson is no Bon Scott, but he's got balls. Kudos to this raunchy Australian for pointing out how pretentious and self-absorbed it is to give and not be silent.
From The Huffington Post:
AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson is taking on Bono and Bob Geldof for their public displays of charity work.
"When I was a working man I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa," he told Melbourne's Herald Sun. "I'm sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done. It just makes me angry. I become all tyrannical."
Johnson said that his own band prefers to make their charitable contributions in private.
"Do a charity gig, fair enough, but not on worldwide television," he said.

A stunning new video has emerged 15 years after Stanley Kubrick's death in which Kubrick admits that the NASA moon landings were faked.
Filmmaker T. Patrick Murray interviewed Kubrick three days before his death in March 1999. He was forced to sign an 88-page NDA to keep the contents of the interview a secret for 15 years.
Below is a transcript from the interview with Stanley Kubrick, in which the 2001 Space Odyssey Director admits on camera that, "the moon landings ALL were faked , and that I was the person who filmed it."
We have included a leaked rough cut of the interview below the transcript:

Not sure about this. The unbearable editing, the strange close-up of his face so you can't tell who it is. The almost fake grainy footage. The darkness of the video.

Ally Carter Quotes About FathersQuotes about: Fathers
She looked at him and shook her head, smiled a litle as she told him, "You are so like your father." Then she looked past me and Zach, past Bex and Abby, to where Agent Townsend sttod by the door with his arms crossed. "What do you think, Townsend, darling? Isn't he just like you?" She looked at Zach again. "I think he's just like you." And then she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
So instead she settled on, "Did my father put you up to this?" Hale exhaled a quick laugh and shook his head. "He hasn't returned my calls since Barcelona." He leaned closer and whispered, "I think he might still be mad at me." "Yeah, well, that makes two of us." "Hey," Hale snapped. "We all agreed that that monkey seemed perfectly well trained at the time.
His mother got her purse. His father reached for the door. "Scooter," he said, by way of good-bye, "have fun with your friends." But Hale was shaking his head. He put his arm around Kat's shoulders. "She's not my friend, Dad. She's my girlfriend." Hale's parents must have walked away, but Kat wasn't looking. She was too busy staring up at Hale, trying to see into his eyes and know if he was okay. The sadness that had lingered for weeks was fading, and the boy that held her was the boy she knew. A boy who kissed her lightly.
I wonder what kinds of songs Preston's father sang to him." Zach raised his eyebrows. "I wonder if he's in a cell humming them to himself right now." I should have said something-done something. He was in a dark place, there in the moonlight. But before I could say a word, Zach took a deep breath and looked up at the fortress. "I wonder if I should join him.

A recent essay at The Survival Acres blog touches on many of the terrifying issues that confront us – global warming, peak-oil, overpopulation, the deep degradation of the environment necessary to sustain all life.
If there's any conclusion there, then it would seem to be, "What is going to kill us off first: Global Warming and its consequences for the global food supply that the over-abundant human population relies upon, or Peak Oil and the resulting collapse – starting potentially within 2 to 6 years – of industrial/technical society?" Either way, the results would seem to be eerily similar – mass starvation, coupled with lawlessness, roving hordes searching for food, burning the last of the trees to keep warm... The stuff of so many D-grade sci-fi movies.
Let anyone who doubts the sort of behaviour outlined above go to a squatter camp anywhere in Africa and count how many trees remain, how much vegetation, how many animals are left.
The heart of the question is, "Is it at all possible to maintain any form of technological society in the face of the impending human disasters before us?" Or are we doomed to a collapse back to Stone Age technologies and Stone Age human population levels – perhaps only a few hundred-thousand human beings on the planet?
The author of Survival Acres seems pessimistic. Or perhaps that's just "realistic".
Perhaps I am just a little too unwilling to give up a fantasy. The fantasy that we can keep something of our modern technological ways. Perhaps even improve on our present society, creating something more humane, more attuned to our needs and the needs of the rest of the ecosphere about us. But we certainly cannot do it at current human population levels, and we certainly cannot do it at First World levels of energy consumption, even assuming much-reduced human numbers.
How many people can the Earth sustain? For a long time the conventional wisdom seems to be that a population of about 1 billion (that's the American "billion" – 1 000 000 000) though recently I have seen some writing suggesting that 2 billion might be sustainable. Personally I doubt the higher figure, but either way we are in for a hell of a ride as the population crashes from the present levels of somewhere betwee 6.5 and 7 billion!
Can we live on much lower energy levels? Certainly! Concensus among experts I have read seems to suggest that the most energy we could reasonably expect to sustainably generate would be around 20% of current First World consumption. (Not sure if this is purely at a household level, or whether it includes the massive industrial and industry-agricultural inputs. Anyone?)
The problem and the challenge is how to manage a transition from our present societal structures and dependence on Big Energy to something that will simultaneously allow us to go forward retaining the good bits of our society (and I would call the Internet one of the Good Bits) whilst also surviving the terrible, tragic process that surely faces us.

Completely out of blue, George and I will go to Israel from 2/18 for 10 days.
According to the Bible, Israel,"the land flowing with milk and honey", was given to Abraham by God about 2000B.C. God promised him that he would become a father of many nations and his offspring would increase abundantly like the stars in the sky, and 2000 years later, Jesus was born in that land.
Going to Israel has been George and my long term dream, but because Israel has been always in battles, since the very beginning of its history till this day in spite of that amazing glory, and the country is far away for me who has cancer, the idea has never come to reality.
Yet last week, when we had lunch with George's brother, who is also a pastor in Murrieta, and his wife, they shared about the Israel tour that they host for his church every year, and as they learned that the trip to Israel was our 20th anniversary wish, they immediately invited us to go together.
George and I looked at each other feeling implausible that the couple-in- law was giving the chance to make our dream real.
" We never get tired to go there. It is always inspiring and life changing," they said.
According to them, the dangerous battlefield is in a limited area and if we avoid there, the rest of the country is safe.
" We do wedding vow renewal ceremonies in Cana, where Jesus performed his first miracle by changing water to wine for a wedding. If this is for your anniversary, you should do that." The brother-in law was adding.
"Is this true? Is it ok to accept it? Are we really going to Israel?"
Though feeling still difficult to believe it, I was getting excited.
We have saved money diligently, and George said he could take a vacation. Then the last problem was my health.
I asked my oncologist if I could go to Israel. She e-mailed me back saying,
" It is a great opportunity! Your 2nd cycle (of the infusion) will be during the trip, but you can postpone it until after the trip."
She gave me the permission, but I was still nervous with the side-effects. I don't want to go to a doctor in Israel or stay at a hotel alone. Yet, the more I talked about the trip, the stronger my desire became. This may be the only chance in my life and if I don't go, I may never be able to go.
So, I decided to go!
This must be a gift from God. All of sudden, as an utter surprise the gift was delivered in front of George and me. What a perfect timing it is!

Reality TV Shows The Highest Rating Shows In 2011
Reality TV dominated the 2011 ratings with four of the top five programs in this years survey being reality shows. Great result for a genre which previously has been much maligned.
The Block 'The Winner Announced' was the highest rating show of the year with 3.37 million viewers, followed by Australia's Got Talent with 2.98 million viewers.
Third on the list was Underbelly – Razor – Ep 1 with 2.794 million, closely followed by Masterchef Australia – 'The Winner Announced' with 2.745 million viewers. The Block – 'The Auction' rounds out the top five with 2,736 million.
Next year it will be no different with TV Networks relying on their reality shows to bring in the viewers.
Here is an article I wrote for the Herald Sun yesterday which outlines some thoughts on what occurred this year in reality TV and some thoughts on next year.
What shows are you looking forward to watching next year?

An interesting trend is that of those top rating shows, the reality genre built their audiences, peaking during the final episodes, whereas the one drama in the list, steadily lost it's audience, peaking on the first episode.

If you continuously suffer from patches of dry skin that is accompanied by a severe itch, chances are that you are suffering from Atopic Dermatitis (AD), more commonly known as eczema.
What causes eczema?
The exact cause of eczema is not known, but research indicates that it is caused by a combination of environmental and hereditary factors. [1]
- Hereditary factors: Scientists have found a wide variety of genes that correlate with the incidence of eczema, such as fillagrin. [2] This goes to show that some people are just unlucky to be born with this condition and may pass it on to future generations.
- Environmental factors: There are a couple of theories that support this factor. One states that people who have never been exposed to certain bacteria because they have grown up in unnaturally clean environments can suffer from eczema once they move to more polluted environments. [3] There are studies which indicate that some people may show signs of eczema if they are exposed to house mites. [4]
Common Symptoms of Eczema
People suffering from eczema display a wide variety of symptoms, which can be summarized as under: [5]
- Dark patches of skin, which may be dry and sensitive as well
- Instead of dark patches, sometimes the skin may display some red rashes instead. These rashes will tend to show up over and over again and is usually accompanies with an intense itch.
- Sometimes the afflicted area may swell and may start oozing after some time. This may be followed by a crust.
- The area may become scaly, rough and leathery as well!
Just because you may be born with this condition does not mean that you have to deal with the discomfort and potential embarrassment for the rest of your lives. There are several home remedies that can save you some trips to the dermatologist's office.
Home Remedies for Eczema:
Before incurring those expensive medical bills, feel free to try any of the following home remedies.
- Coconut Oil
One of the most common side-effects of suffering from eczema is the prevalence of extremely dry skin. Coconut is a natural moisturizer, [6] which can significantly reduce this symptom. Simply rinse the affected area with water, pat it dry and then rub some coconut oil on it. Feel free to do this as many times as you want.
However, coconut oil is no good for a very small fraction of the general population who are allergic to coconut. [7] If you show an allergic reaction to coconut oil, you should immediately discontinue its use and seek an alternate treatment.
- Oatmeal
Taking an oatmeal bath is one of the most gentle skin treatments known to man. Besides being a highly effective moisturizer, [8] this herb has anti-inflammatory properties as well [9] which can provide you with some welcome relief from the itch.
To apply this treatment, get a piece of cheesecloth or a muslin cloth and pour some oatmeal into it. Fill about 25 percent of the tub with regular hot water and then put the bag right below the faucet and let the tub fill all the way through. The water will take on a silky texture. Soak yourself in this bath for about 15 minutes, during which you can take the oatmeal bag and use it as a loofah all over your body. Once you are done, step outside and pat yourself dry.
- Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) can provide you with a significant amount of relief from eczema. It has strong anti-microbial properties [10] that can prevent the afflicted area from suffering from secondary infection. It also contains beta-carotene [11] which is good for your skin as it helps in replenishing the dead skin cells from the area suffering from eczema. The anti-fungal properties of ACV can also help combat some of the environmental causes of eczema.
Undiluted ACV is harsh enough on healthy skin, using it in an undiluted form on the eczema may prove to be unbearably painful. You should mix ACV with water in a 1:1 ratio and apply that on an unaffected part of your skin. You should feel a minor sting, which should subside immediately. If the pain is persistent, dilute the solution further by doubling the quantity of water. If the solution is still painful, then your skin may be overly sensitive or you may be allergic to ACV; either way this treatment would not be right for you.
If you can tolerate the minor sting of diluted ACV, simple apply it to the affected area with a cotton at least twice a day. You can also add two cups of ACV and 1/3 cup of sunflower oil to a tub of bathwater and soak yourself in it a few times every week. Another option is to add a tablespoon of ACV to a cup of water and ingest it orally. It will not be easy on your palate, so you can make it more bearable by adding a little honey to it.
- Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil has strong anti-microbial properties [13] that reduces the likelihood of secondary infections on your eczema. There is anecdotal evidence that it helps reduce the eczema as well.
Just like ACV, using undiluted tea tree oil on your eczema would be a mistake that could inflame the area even further. That being said, there are several ways by which you can incorporate tea tree oil into your at-home treatment for eczema. You can add about 15 drops of tea tree oil and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to a tub of water to make a refreshing bath, which you can take up to twice a day. You can also add 20 drops of tea tree oil to ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil and apply that directly on your eczema.
Please note that before trying the tea tree oil regimen, use some diluted tea tree oil on a healthy part of your skin to make sure that you are not allergic to it.
- Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is an herb with anti-inflammatory [14] and anti-microbial properties [15] which not only helps prevent an eczema outbreak, but also prevents the outbreaks being exacerbated by secondary infections. There are verified anecdotal evidence that backs up this claim. [16]
The best way to treat your eczema with Aloe Vera would be to get hold of some leaves of the aloe plant, slice off the rinds to take the leaf apart and apply the natural gel directly on the afflicted area. You can also incorporate this gel into smoothies and other beverages [17] to fortify your body against eczema from the inside. If you cannot get hold of any aloe leaves, then visit your local drugstore and get yourself a bottle of 100% pure aloe and apply it on your eczema as often as you please!
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Besides being a vessel for delivering the tea tree oil treatment as mentioned earlier, olive oil is an effective treatment for eczema in its own right. Olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties [18] due to the presence of a compound called squalene [19] that can help reduce the flare-ups.
Besides combining with tea tree oil, you can combine 4 oz. of olive oil with a tablespoon of sugar or honey and apply it on the affected area and leave it on for a few hours. You can cover the area with gauze and medical tapes so that you do not disturb the application. You can also mix extra virgin olive oil with baby lotion to make an effective treatment.
There is strong anecdotal evidence that combining cabbage leaves with extra virgin olive oil will make a highly potent treatment for eczema. Wash the cabbage leaves thoroughly and then let it dry naturally. Immerse these cabbage leaves completely in olive oil and leave it for a few hours so that the leaves become soft after absorbing the oil. Apply the leaves on the afflicted area, cover it with gauze and help it stay in place with the help of medical tapes. Leave it on for about three hours. Take it off and then wash the area with lukewarm water.
- Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is another great natural moisturizer that would be ideal during the early stages of an eczema outbreak. What make it so good is that it consists of long chain fatty acids and its chemical composition is very close to that of sebum, the natural oil produced by our skin.
Before applying jojoba, rinse the affected area gently with water and pat it dry. Apply a thin film of jojoba to the afflicted area and massage it gently for a little bit, so that part of the oil gets absorbed into the skin right away. This should be done at least three times every day.
- Shea Butter
Shea butter is an exceptional moisturizer, which can help combat the dry and leathery skin that eczema tends to leave you with. On top of that, its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties will help fortify the affected area against secondary infection. The large concentration of fatty acids acts as a barrier against environmental irritants, thus reducing the frequency and the duration of the breakouts.
Simply take a liberal quantity of Shea better and keep applying it on the affected area during the course of the day. For best results, it is preferable that the Shea butter you use is completely organic. It does have a strong smell associated with it; hence it is advisable that you use it indoors!
- Emu Oil
For maintaining good hygiene, it is advisable to wash your hands with a strong anti-bacterial soap during the course of the day. This is unfortunately a double-edged sword for those who are suffering from an eczema outbreak on their hands. Soap is a drying agent, which can wreak havoc on an area that is already dry due to eczema. Using emu oil can significantly reduce the damage caused by the repeated (albeit necessary) use of soap. Besides being an odorless, yet effective moisturizer, studies conducted by the University of Tehran (Iran) and Indiana University gives some veracity to the fact that it is an effective treatment for eczema as well!
Feel free to use a few drops every time you wash your hands. You may use it on eczema outbreaks on other parts of your body as well, however do note that it is a little pricey and any of the other treatments mentioned in this article would be far easier on the pocket!
If you are a vegan or a vegetarian, you may have to skip this treatment as emu is a flightless bird native to Australia and emu oil is produced by processing the fat of the same.
- Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is yet another slightly pricey, yet highly effective treatment of eczema. It is produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the Manuka bush, which is native to the archipelago. Manuka honey has really strong antibacterial properties, which can help prevent the affected area from suffering from secondary infections. Scientific studies have shown for it to be effective against even advanced cases of eczema.
For best results consume 1 tablespoon of Manuka honey, two to three times every day. Also apply it as a topical ointment on the inflamed area, make sure that you cover the area with gauze and medical tapes right after application.
- Argan Oil
Argan oil is produced by crushing the kernels of the argan tree, which is native to Morocco. Its benefits for the skin in general is well-known, hence it is often a key ingredient for many high-end skincare products.
Argan oil is extremely rich in Vitamin E (anti-inflammatory agent), Omega 6 Fatty acids (highly effective skin moisturizer), sterols (another anti-inflammatory agent) and polyphenols (anti-microbial agent). Thus it makes sense that argan oil would be a slightly expensive, but potentially decisive ally in your battle against eczema. Apply it as a topical ointment on the affected area for as long as you would like!
- Neem Oil
Neem oil is obtained by processing the fruits and seeds of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica), which is native to the Indian sub-continent. Neem oil is a highly effective emollient, which means that it that it helps fill up the gaps created by the dry skin that is typical of eczema and prevents moisture from escaping the skin. Its anti-bacterial properties prevent the occurrence of secondary infections.
The best way to incorporate the treatment is to pour a few drops of neem oil into a bathtub filled with lukewarm water and soaking in it for about 15 minutes. You can take this neem bath at least a couple of times a day.
However, neem oil is extremely strong and should not be directly applied to the eczema in an undiluted form. Doing so may result in a somewhat harsh reaction.
- Probiotics
Digestive dysfunctions in the intestinal tract is another cause of eczema as well. If you have an eczema outbreak while facing issues with your digestive system, then please note that it is not a coincidence. In such a situation, topical treatments will only provide you with temporary relief and you need to fix your digestive system to be rid of the condition for an extended period of time.
Probiotics are natural bacteria that provide a necessary boost to your digestive system. There are several nutritional supplements available at your chemist or even at the local grocery store, which can help you with your probiotic intake. If you have some free time on your hands then you can brew yourself some kombucha tea or some water kefir, both of which are really good sources of probiotics. Having a side of sauerkraut with your meal can also provide you with your daily dose of probiotics.
- Fermented Cod Liver Oil
Fermented cod liver oil is another great nutritional supplement that can help you heal your eczema from the inside. It is rich in Vitamins E, which as mentioned earlier has highly effective anti-inflammatory properties. It is best to incorporate this with your breakfast.
- Chamomile
Chamomile tea may have a very mild taste, however that should not cause you to underestimate its ability to be an effective cure for eczema. This herb usually come in two forms, namely Anthemis nobilis and Matricaria recutita, both of which has significant anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. This can greatly build up your immunity and prevent your eczema from developing secondary infections.
Simply fill a cup with hot water and put a chamomile tea bag in there and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Once the liquid turns golden brown, take out the tea bag and keep it on a clean plate, thus allowing it to cool down. Add a tablespoon of honey to the liquid, stir it well and enjoy the beverage.
Once you have consumed your cup pf chamomile tea, the tea bag should have reached room temperature. Take off the string from the bag, put it on the affected area and hold it in place using medical gauze and tapes for about thirty minutes. Try to follow these step at least twice every day.
- Homeopathic Treatments
Homeopathic system of medicine was established by Dr. Samuel Christian Hahnemann, a German physician in the late 18th century. It believes in providing patients with mild doses, with the strength and the regimen to be adjusted based upon the patient's response to the medication. Most of the homeopathic treatments are made from natural ingredients and usually does not have any side effects.
There are several homeopathic medications available, depending upon the nature and the severity of the eczema outbreak. For example, Rananculus Bulbosus or Rhus Tox may provide relief where the region of the affliction has turned especially hard or a thick crust may have formed. Staphysgaria is recommended if the eczema outbreak occurs on the head or the face or if the affliction is accompanied by a violent itch. Natrum Muriaticum provides relief when there is some oozing from the afflicted area and Calcarea carb is recommended for children suffering from eczema.
Please note that scientific studies probing into the effectiveness of the homeopathic treatments are still inconclusive. However, if you want to go down this route, it is highly recommended that you seek the help of a qualified homeopath.

Jakarta. "In the digitalized world, do we still need books? There are many sources other than books, like social media and WhatsApp for example. Aren't they enough to provide new information?" senior television journalist Najwa Shihab asked.
It is Najwa's signature style to begin talk shows with a question. However, she did not pose that question to a TV audience, but to the crowd gathered at the oration for the opening ceremony of the Indonesia International Book Fair (IIBF) at the Jakarta Convention Center in Senayan, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (06/09).
Her speech addressed the spread of hoaxes, or what she calls virus dusta (virus of lies), and the public's tendency to not filter information before accepting it as truth. The advent of the Internet has resulted in a democratization of information, but at the same time, people are used to reading instant, fragmented information without validating it.
"It was not that we didn't have hoaxes in the past, but the flash flood of hoaxes and lies only happen in the digital world," she said.
Najwa added that even journalism is not safe from the potential hazards, especially digital journalism. Online news portals race to be the fastest news publisher, with the highest quantity of pieces available for consumption. Since their focus is driving traffic instead of promoting quality, online sources are prone to make mistakes.
As the national reading ambassador, Najwa urged the public to improve their reading habits by reading actual books.
"Books, unfortunately, are not the panacea but I believe that reading is a good method to shape a way of thinking that is not fragmented," she said.
Reading a book can be a practice for people not to make snap judgments and jump to conclusions.
"A good reader will be careful in making judgments before reaching the last page. The more they read, the more cautious they will be in digesting information," the daughter of prominent Muslim cleric Quraish Shihab added.
Once reading becomes a habit, people will not only be able to receive information, but to think critically by comparing and contrasting with other kinds of information.
"Reading for these people isn't just a visual experience but they also see the 'invisible text' by connecting the book they're reading with their real life experiences, as well as with other books. Here, readers are not just passive recipients but are able to create new meanings," Najwa said.
She also praised IIBF because book fairs help shape "a generation who create new meanings."
Najwa herself won the "Literacy Promoter" award at the IIBF, while author Pidi Baiq won the "Writer of the Year" award for his best-selling teen novels. Retno Hening Palupi was awarded "Book of the Year" for the fun and educational parenting book, "Happy Little Soul."
IIBF will run until Sunday and will offer various events, such as book discussions, seminars, competitions and art performances. Entrance is free.

A federal judge has ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to release more than 300 pages of documents related to a planned coal terminal in Boardman.
Judge Paul Papak ordered their release Thursday, saying the agency failed to back up claims the documents should be exempt from disclosure. No deadline was set for releasing the documents, according to The Associated Press.
The Freedom of Information Act case was brought by Columbia Riverkeeper, which wanted to know why the Corps agreed to an easier environmental review for Ambre Energy's Coyote Island terminal than it did for two terminals in Washington.
The decision will force the Corps to explain its actions, Columbia Riverkeeper Executive Director Brett VandenHeuvel said in a statement.
"This is a victory for government transparency and communities threatened by coal export on the Columbia River," he said.
Corps spokesman Matt Rabe the agency will determine what its next steps are.
"We have not had a chance to formally review the order and understand its magnitude and what it means," he said.
The Boardman terminal is designed to handle up to 8.8 million tons of coal a year, according to Herald archives. The coal would be taken there by train from Wyoming and Montana. It would be transferred to barges and taken to Port Westward in Clatskanie, Ore., where it would be loaded on ships bound for Asia.

This demographic in men's fashion has been ignored by designers for far too long. House of Halls is first to introduce a stylish, high-end premium denim brand that men have been waiting for. - Maurice Malone, "Steve Jobs of Denim" (Brooklyn Magazine)
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 24, 2012
Not all men are created equal. Some are made to be more. No one knows that better than House of Halls (http://www.houseofhalls.com), a new brand aiming to change the game for men who want high style, premium denim in sizes 36 to 46.
"House of Halls is a brand of premium denim for men who demand excellent styling and strong attention to detail yet whose grandeur isn't confined to their personality," said Aimee Deziel, CEO of House of Halls.
The company was started by Deziel, a self-driven entrepreneur and fashion-conscious female who quickly grew tired of watching her own man of stature dress in clothes that were ill-fitted, poor quality and lacking style.
"I would try and go shopping for him and couldn't believe the lack of options," said Deziel. "It became apparent to me pretty quickly that there was a huge gap in the marketplace for men who wanted to look good and had money to spend but no where to spend it."
Enlisting the help of well-known fashion designer Maurice Malone, Deziel lead the vision while Malone provided his 18 years of expertise in design and men's styling. Malone has been in the industry since 1984 and has built a solid name for himself designing men's clothing, becoming more successful with each collection.
"This demographic in men's fashion has been ignored by designers for far too long," said Maurice Malone. "Currently, these men have no choice for high-end designer brands and have been waiting for something stylish, modern and updated like this."
House of Halls premium denim is made with only the best materials. Every detail and design feature has been carefully thought out with style and comfort at top-of-mind. The first collection is designed to give men more confidence and more options. They're cut to compliment body shape and enhance individuality.
The first collection features 3 unique styles including a dedicated selvedge style, all in various wash options:
Comfortable denim with the two-button waist is a fresh take on a respected classic. Cut to fit in on Monday morning, Friday night and Sunday afternoon. (Washes: Essential, Benchmark & Universal)
Hardwearing selvedge denim created to exceed your expectations. Wears perfectly at lunch hour, cocktail hour and into the morning hours. (Washes: Icon & Urban)
Exceptionally designed because presentation is an essential part of one's success. Works flawlessly in the boardroom, your dining room and every important room you step into. (Washes: Mettle, Reign & Insignia)
Visit http://www.houseofhalls.com to see the next big thing in premium denim for the next size segment in men's clothing.
About House of Halls
House of Halls is proud to bring men of stature a North American collaboration of vision and design with their first collection of premium denim. Started by a fashion-conscious female who was tired of watching her man of stature dress in clothes that were ill fitted, poor quality and lacking style. Today, the company is built on a line of high culture premium denim. Tomorrow, House of Halls aims to be the brand that befits the man of stature from head to toe.
House of Halls believes men's fashion shouldn't be confined to one standard size segment. Welcome to the next big thing in premium denim for men who are made to be more.

From Youngsville, New York, USA:
Can a child, age nine, newly (three months) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes develop a tolerance or immunity to insulin? Increases in insulin bring blood glucose levels down for two to three days, but then the levels creep up again.
The answer depends upon the insulin dose per kilogram of body weight. An increase in insulin dose is the norm at this duration of diabetes as the honeymoon period ends and doses move up towards the complete replacement requirement which is about 1 unit of insulin per kilo of body weight per day in a pre-pubertal individual. If the current dose is above this and there is no doubt about compliance with therapy, then this would be regarded as insulin resistance in a nine year old.
[Editor's comment: Also make sure that you are using insulin that has been opened for less than a month. After a month, insulin tends to loses its potency resulting in labile blood sugars. SS]

Implements a markup extension that supports the binding between the value of a property in a template and the value of some other exposed property on the templated control.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
Initializes a new instance of the TemplateBindingExtension class.
Initializes a new instance of the TemplateBindingExtension class with the specified dependency property that is the source of the binding.
Gets or sets the converter that interprets between source and target of a binding.
Gets or sets the parameter to pass to the converter.
Gets or sets the property being bound to.
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
Returns an object that should be set as the value on the target object's property for this markup extension. For TemplateBindingExtension, this is an expression (TemplateBindingExpression) that supports the binding. (Overrides MarkupExtension.ProvideValue(IServiceProvider).)
Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
You use TemplateBinding in template to bind to a value on the control the template is applied to. A TemplateBinding is more efficient than a Binding but it has less functionality. Using a TemplateBinding is equivalent to using a Binding with the RelativeSource property set to RelativeSource.TemplatedParent.
For XAML information, see TemplateBinding Markup Extension.
The following example shows a ControlTemplate that defines a ListBox that is horizontal and has rounded corners. The TemplateBinding indicates that the Background of the Border should be synchronized with the Background value that is set on the ListBox. You use TemplateBinding in your ControlTemplate when you want to give the user of your control the control over the values of certain properties. For a discussion of this example, see Styling and Templating.
The following example shows the ControlTemplate of the Label control. The HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties are bound to the values of the HorizontalContentAlignment and VerticalContentAlignment properties of the Label control that this ControlTemplate is applied to.
<Style x:Key="{x:Type Label}" TargetType="Label"> <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" /> <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top" /> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="Label"> <Border> <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" /> </Border> <ControlTemplate.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false"> <Setter Property="Foreground"> <Setter.Value> <SolidColorBrush Color="{DynamicResource DisabledForegroundColor}" /> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Trigger> </ControlTemplate.Triggers> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>

Day 232: Train Bridge, originally uploaded by susanvg.
I have always liked this bridge, constructed to carry trains over the road. Built of stone and draped with greenery, it has character. Just down the street from this are concrete overpasses - sterile. They seem to need repairs more often than this venerable bridge. It was built in a time when labour was cheap and architecture was for the aesthetic as well as function.

Lacerte tax software has many features to help tax professionals file returns, according to Intuit, the maker of Lacerte. Features include training videos, fast e-filing, tax analysis and planning tools, return summaries, and direct downloads from financial institutions.Continue Reading
Training videos are available in the video library, states Intuit. The videos have instructions on key features of Lacerte, program setup, practice management and more.
One e-filing feature on Lacerte is integrated filing for individual and business forms, Intuit explains. Other features include being able to transmit returns fast, access real-time federal and state information and guarantee of successful e-filing of returns.
Tax analysis and planning tools allow tax preparers to provide services besides filing tax returns for clients, according to Intuit. Tax planning tools help design custom plans to reduce the amount of taxes clients pay. Tax analysis tools provide information on how new tax laws might affect clients, and they red flag items on tax returns that might lead to audits.
Return summaries show how returns look when they are printed, notes Intuit. Reports are provided showing single-page summaries of clients, lists of forms and schedules used in return preparation, and total billings. Direct downloading of 1099 and W-2 forms is available from financial institutions and payroll providers.

The future of business requires people with the skills to find common ground, thoughtfully analyze options and contribute ethically to solutions together. At Providence College, we're educating for a future based on we.
As the only U.S. college founded and administered by Dominican Friars, we're attuned to the need for meaning, connection, and purpose in business and life. Students don't just learn the foundations of business — they learn how to collaborate, how to discern what matters, how to define success on their own terms. This unique education — based on the power of "we" rather than the power of "me" — makes our graduates indispensable to employers and personally fulfilled.
AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, affirmed the PCSB's rising level of distinction and quality when it awarded accreditation in 2012. Only 30 percent of U.S. business schools, and 5 percent worldwide, achieve this prestigious designation. It places the PC undergraduate and graduate programs among the best, and helps position students and graduates for even greater success in the future.
Poets & Quants Ranking
Just recently, the PCSB was named as one of the best undergraduate business programs in the country by a ranking published by Poets & Quants for Undergrads. The PCSB was placed at #63 out of only 82 schools that made the list.
Bloomberg Businessweek Rankings
The PCSB shot up 14 spots to No. 61 on Bloomberg Businessweek's 2016 list of the top undergraduate business programs. PCSB had the sharpest rise of any school on the ranking this past year, thanks to an improved employer survey score, according to the magazine.
New Building
A $5 million gift from prominent alumnus Arthur F. Ryan and his wife, Patricia, supported our state-of-the-art home for the PCSB. With their gift, Dore Hall, a former residence hall, was renovated as the center of the new structure, named the Arthur and Patricia Ryan Center for Business Studies. After a groundbreaking in October 2015, the building first opened for classes in spring 2017. Many current and future students will have the opportunity to learn and grow in a facility where every square foot is designed intentionally to foster engaged, values-based learning that will lead students to a lifetime of success in business and in life.
PCSB Fast Facts
Undergraduate Student Employment
- 98% of 2016 graduates were either employed or in graduate school (or both) within 6 months of graduating
- 89% had participated in at least one internship as an undergraduate
- 50% increase in total business majors from 2010
- 29% increase in MBA students from 2010
- 55,000+ PC Alumni worldwide love to network with students and recent graduates
- 68 PCSB faculty members
- 41 tenured or tenure track faculty
- Almost 25% of faculty hired new in the last 4 years
A Strategic Priority
Much of PCSB's success can be attributed to the College's 2011 Strategic Plan, which positions the School to be a national and international model for practice-based curriculum that builds on the College's expertise in the liberal arts and virtue ethics.

City can't douse Iqaluit's latest massive dump fire
Fire chief advises city to let smoldering "volcano" flame out
An uncontrollable fire burning deep inside Iqaluit's overflowing garbage dump is like a smoldering volcano, measuring about 160 metres across and 10 metres high, the city's fire chief Luc Grandmaison, said May 20 at an emergency meeting of Iqaluit City Council.
He said efforts to douse the latest fire at the dump — with added help from the public works department — proved futile.
With council's approval May 20, Grandmaison and the city's superintendent of public works, Joe Brown, concluded they should let the fire burn itself out, after attempts to douse the blaze with more than 64,000 litres of water failed to show any results.
Landfill employees alerted the fire department to the dump fire at 1:30 p.m. that day, Grandmaison said.
The blaze broke out on its own insde the dump, at the same location as three earlier fires reported this past December, January and March, he said.
The fire proved to be too much for the fire department to put out.
"It's deep-seated," Grandmaison said of the blaze, which broke out in a hot spot three metres beneath the surface of the largest garbage pile at the dump.
"If I can explain it as simply as possible, it's a volcano underneath that pile, really," he said.
Iqalummiut awoke on the morning of May 21 to the sight of a smoking hill on the other side of Koojesee Inlet.
Like earlier fires that occurred since last December, the blaze is not considered suspicious, the fire chief said.
"In a landfill there's always decomposition. It's smoldering. That's how material decomposes," he said.
Smoldering garbage under the largest pile brought flames out to the surface, which "started spreading uphill" in a location close to the dump's utility garage, Grandmaison said.
"We were hoping to extinguish the fire quickly," Grandmaison told council at the emergency meeting. "We thought it was very close to the surface."
Unlike past fires at the site, firefighters failed to make any headway.
The fire department enlisted two city water trucks to direct some 17,000 gallons (more than 64,000 litres) of water at the blaze, according to Joe Brown, superintendent of public works.
Efforts to douse the fire that afternoon forced the city to temporarily suspend water delivery to homes, Grandmaison said.
"We did that for five hours, and then at one point, public works basically told us that we must provide water to citizens as a priority, and I believe it is a priority," the fire chief told council.
Thermal imaging cameras showed garbage was burning three metres below the surface, he said. The garbage pile measures almost "40 metres deep" in total, from top to bottom.
Grandmaison recalled that the fire department and public works had dug a trench to isolate and extinguish a fire in the same troubled area of the landfill in December.
The department decided to use the same strategy, with help from public works and Nunavut Excavating, a private contractor.
This time the fire department called for complete separation of the large pile, which contains the burning hot spots, from the rest of the landfill. The city will leave the pile to burn itself out.
The strategy will not only keep the city from having to draw on the city's water supply, Grandmaison said. It will also keep pollutants from leaching out of the landfill, and into the bay.
"The less water we use, the better it is for the environment," he said.
Brown told council that the public works department is short on equipment, which created the need to call on a contractor to help isolate the fire.
Brown and Grandmaison could not say how long it would take to dig "fire-break" trenches around the affected pile.
The fire chief said that public works and contractors have completed "up to 80 per cent" of the fire-breaks needed "to keep the fire from spreading."
Asked about effects on garbage collection, Grandmaison said the dump would remain closed until further notice.

When a relationship is in turmoil, the door is open for all manner of emotional and even physical conflicts. And when feelings boil over, it is all too easy to lash out at someone you love. Unfortunately, if the party on the other end of an unfortunate incident happens to be your child, it is possible that there could be an intervention on behalf of the authorities.
What are some considerations for visitation with infants?
When you and your ex are working out the time-sharing portion of your parenting plan, there are a variety of factors that must be taken into account. One of the most important factors is the child's age. As you are no doubt aware, a child's needs change as he or she gets older. And a custody or visitation schedule that is appropriate for a 16-year-old is not nearly the same as that for an infant or toddler.
'Tis the season for getting along for the children's sake
Let's face it, while the intent of the holidays is for people to get together and joyously celebrate, this time of year can be extremely stressful. And sadly, it is also a time where family conflicts can bubble to the surface, causing conflicts and hard feelings. And this can be especially true in families of divorce.
Tardiness is a violation of your visitation agreement
You check your watch and feel worried. Time passes, and you grow more and more apprehensive and agitated. Finally, well after the agreed upon time, your ex arrives with your children in tow. And this is not the exception; this is the rule. Every week your ex picks up the children in accordance with visitation terms of your custody and every week, the children are returned late.
Time-sharing schedules are a required part of parenting plans
In Florida, the term "time-sharing" is used to describe what is often referred to as visitation or custody. This term describes how your child's time will be divided between you and the child's other parent. A time-sharing schedule is a required part of every parenting plan.
Legitimate reasons for modifying visitation
Sometimes after a divorce has been finalized, a parent may become dissatisfied with the terms contained in his or her child custody agreement. As such, he or she may want to have the agreement modified. But it is important to remember that the court has its reasons for rendering its decisions regarding visitation and will only consider causes it considers legitimate as the basis for alterations. Likewise, the court is likely to reject a request that it feels is not in the best interests of the child.
Make your parenting plan with an eye on the future
Typically, when a couple divorces, it is because it is the best option available. But it is important to understand that the decisions that are made during the divorce process can have long-term effects. And although asset division is finalized once the final decree is signed, issues regarding child custody and visitation may continue until a child reaches adulthood.
What can help a father optimize visitation time?
If you are a recently divorced father who has been granted visitation rights, you may be trying to figure out how to make your new arrangements work. You may even feel a little apprehensive about how your divorce will affect your relationship with your children. After all, you will now be seeing your children according to a prearranged schedule, rather than every day at home.
Parents can establish visitation schedules together
As it pertains to family law and divorces, the word visitation is often held in contempt. It serves as a reminder that you are not always involved in your child's life and that only at specified times and dates are you allowed to interact or visit with your child. This mentality is good for neither the parents nor the children, which is why the state of Florida has revised many family laws in order to move away from such language.
A form can help establish visitation
Everyone knows that parents fighting and arguing can leave a lasting negative impression on a young child, which is why many courts encourage mediation and peaceful negotiations between divorcing couples. Unfortunately, such mediations do not always achieve the desired effect, and courts are then required to step in and establish guidelines for the divorce. These guidelines can include the custody and visitation schedules between the parents. However, if you and your spouse are willing to discuss such matters in mediation, a form might help you streamline the process.
