Have you ever wondered which social network is the easiest way to chat to friends and strangers about the entertainment you love? I'd be willing to say it's GetGlue. That's because GetGlue know how to make your experience both informative and sociable.
Once you get started, you'll love checking in to shows while you watch them. Today we'll take you on a quick tour of GetGlue, focusing on the Android application, so that you can jump in and get involved in this great online party of a social network.
Why Use GetGlue?
GetGlue just makes it so easy to check in to a TV show, film, music artist, book, podcast, game or most other things you love and leave an opinion on the page. Other people checking in or viewing the page will see your comments and other buzz and respond if they feel like it.
Meanwhile, everyone on the page is being treated to news, video, tweets and photos related to the show. It's like a live news source and conversation all in one. Plus, you can share your check-ins with your friends by linking other social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
As an extra bonus, GetGlue will recommend more entertainment you might like by comparing the things you've liked with that of other users.
GetGlue For Android
GetGlue on Android is a neat little app. Once you're logged in you can check in to a show, view the Stream of check-ins from your friends or get recommendations from your Guide, see what other people checked in to the same thing are saying in Conversations or check responses to your comments in your Messages. You can also see what stickers are available for you and check out your profile.
Basically, you can do everything on GetGlue from within the app.
Start off by checking in to something that you're enjoying right now, then adding some sort of comment about it. Other people enjoying the same thing might notice and reply to your comment, or you can browse what other people are saying in Conversations.
Meanwhile, if you link your Facebook and Twitter accounts you can see what your friends are up to on GetGlue. Maybe that will give you inspiration to watch the same show as them or to try out something new.
GetGlue Tools & Apps For Other Devices
GetGlue is also available for iPad, iPhone and on the web. There are still browser add-ons available which automatically pop up a Glue frame whenever you view TV shows, books, movies and music in your browser. These are now unsupported as GetGlue are focusing on mobile apps.
If you like to show off your activities and great taste, there's also GetGlue widgets you can put on your website.
GetGlue Stickers
GetGlue have a really interesting gamification tactic that has real-life consequences – stickers! It may sound a little cheesy, but it's really easy to earn awards that can be turned into stickers. And those stickers can be printed and mailed to you in real life. You can then show off your GetGlue fandom to your friends and family.
Do you use GetGlue? If so, what do you think about it? Or do you have a favourite alternative? Let us know in the comments.

& then checkout how's the app
seems to be good enough
Sounds a great app, will try this ..
was registered with this about 3 years ago. Nice to see it on my android.
It is my firist time to hear about GetGlue, but is is not give a big advantage for me
meh. They only got TV shows that can be commented on.
I've been using getglue since 2010 and I love it I have gotten (to date) about 150 stickers from getglue. Its so simple too just check in from your smart phone and you get stickers, I just wish I could get my stickers more often though (they only allow you to get so many stickers shipped at one time and they make you wait several weeks before you can request more stickers).
Oh I remember GetGlue, it was the Firefox extension I couldn't uninstall fast enough. I remember it monitoring everything I read and automatically posting it. This was long before Facebook decided to do the same. Maybe things are better now.

Series: Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution (OSEE)
Edited By: Lee Alan Dugatkin
221 pages, B/w photos, figs, tabs
Outlines four different categories of cooperation - reciprocal altruism, kinship, group-selected cooperation, and by-product mutualism - and ties them together in a single framework called the Cooperator's Dilemna. Hundreds of studies on cooperation in insects, fish, birds, and mammals are then reviewed, each example being tied back to the theoretical framework developed early on when the data allows. |Future experiments designed to further elucidate a particular type of cooperation are provided throughout the text.
"Dugatkin's little book is both a great introduction to and a good review of cooperation in animals. He begins with an excellent summary of the long-standing interest in cooperative behavior among philosophers, psychologists, and biologists. . .He outlines four models of cooperation behaviors within evolutionary biology--reciprocity, kin selection, group selection, and byproduct mutualism--and reviews theoretical work on the evolution of cooperation." --Choice
"Lee Dugatkin goes beyond a taxonomic survey. . .and provides a wonderful review of philosophical and biological ponderings on the nature of cooperation. This early history sets the stage for introducing four contemporary alternative, though not exclusive, mechanisms that have been invoked to explain both the evolution and persistence of cooperation in animals: kin selection, group selection, reciprocity and by-product mutualism. . . .With nearly a thousand reference, a major attraction of this book is the comprehensive re

This survey is too funny--all of the yes votes that I have read are parents and all of the no votes I see are kids. LOL...When you grow up, CHILDREN, and pay your own bills you can have your privacy. The reason being is that we as parents have the responsibility of making sure you are making the right choices and sometimes with ever growing ways of communicating kids do not use their brains that God gave them and make a mistake that cannot be taken back. We are here to raise you and protect you from yourselves.
My child lives in my house, she does not have a job or money, she is under 18. I WILL read her texts until she is on her own. Period. Again, there is no 'allowed' about it. It is plain and simply something that WILL happen.
Until she is old enough to support herself, provide for herself and or any mistakes she might make, I will be aware of what going on in her life. She can have complete freedom from these things when she can provide it for herself.
I'm a Teen, and my phone is regularly checked. I understand why they do it however, and it is very justified, otherwise you might end up going places where you shouldn't, or end up messing up your life - forever. Nothing you post can truly go away, but with parent's monitoring what you post, you have a much less chance of doing something you shouldn't.
Parents are legally responsible for their children. I know of past cases where parents have been arrested for crimes a child has done and they also can be held financially responsible. You are protecting your child by getting in front of activity that is suspicious
we should be allowed to see everything a cop or teacher or doctor and counselor can see I monitor my kids PC phone chat room Facebook everything they do I know it end of decision for me
I your a liberal and think you are invading their privacy welll have fun in jail and paying ou what they owe
Because you shouldn't have anything on your phone that you would be ashamed or embarrassed for you parents to know, and if you do, then you deserve to get busted for it. I don't understand why teenagers think they can do whatever they like, things that they absolutely know they will get in trouble for and think that they can just hide it from their parents. I can 100% guarantee that hiding stuff and lying to your parent will always result in a much more severe punishment than if you'd told them upfront what you had done (or could just not be an idiot and not do those things).
Of course children / teens / young adults do not believe that you should be snooping into what they want to call "their privacy". They also think they know everything and can make wise decisions. They think it is ok to text and drive, drink and drive and show their private parts while on spring break....Young ones think they should not have to go to school or have a bedtime ...Do I have to go on....I think everyone gets the picture...... Bottom line is, THEY are not paying for a phone, internet, computers, ipads and the electricity it takes to keep them running and until they do those items are NOT THEIRS. They are the property of the parent or guardian and can be looked at, searched, monitored at anytime they please. I was paying for my 30 year old daughters phone and internet when she got a divorce and when I heard her gossiping and being mean on the phone I shut it off. When I found out the type of things she was posting on facebook I had the internet removed. She knew what the boundries where and chose to use those divices for avenues to hurt others which is unacceptable to me. She now pays for her own phone and what she chooses to do with it is her business but she will not be doing it on my dime. If you are not doing anything wrong then there should not be a problem with anyone looking at your text messages or emails which by the way are not private anyway and if you think they are you are grossly mistaken. If you feel you should have privacy and you are old enough then get a job, be responsible, and pay for all of your electronical gadgets yourself and you may also want to move out on your own until then, my house my rules....
Because parents need to know about their teens life and try to help them with any problems
Same thing goes with a cell phone. If the parent pays the bill every month, buys the phone, and listens to the kids complaining about how they need an upgrade every six months, then the parent has the right to monitor the kids' use of the phone. If teens don't like it, they can go out, get jobs, and pay their own cell phone bills. Everything has a price, and having lived through the kid's side of this one, having my dad glance through who I've been talking to every now and then is a very small price to pay for the privilege of a phone.
I'm a teenager and I think it is important for the children to be able to trust their parents and their parents to trust them. It is a good thing for the parents to check the child's messages because bullying can make the teen feel like they it's not worth living, and most teenagers who are being cyber bullied are too scared to tell anyone. If the parent checks the child's messages they will trust them more when it comes to letting them go out late at night, giving them gadgets, letting them visit friends houses. If the child has nothing to hide online then the parents seeing their messages cannot do any damage. It will create trust between the parent and the child. Another thing is, if the child can't be trusted to be sensible on their mobile, they won't learn to be sensible when they leave home, and they will make many more mistakes. The need to learn to be safe online when they are young, and this will teach them to be careful. The parents can't relax if their children won't let them see their texts. It isn't an invasion of privacy because parents are responsible for their children and it is their business what the children get up to on their phone. It isn't fair on the parents if they can't know more about their children's lives. It will make a better relationship between them.
Parents obviously should be allowed to read their children's text messages if they feel the need to do so. Prohibiting this would similar to prohibiting police from pulling over drunk drivers. Nobody wants to get pulled over by the police but we always worry about the other person driving drunk and recklessly. Similarly, parents need this right because of those children that are either problematic or incapable of making good decisions. Parents whose children do not fall into this category should be careful about betraying their children's trusts by overusing this right to look at their texts. Maybe they should just randomly check the text messages.
Dont you ever, ever, ever call a child a minor. Havent you heard of maturity? Well its not mature to call a child a minor. Now unless you have facts to prove that statement then you have no right to call a child that. Children and teens need their own S P A C E! We all have our own buble and so do they. Dont be selfish and let that child be! If there was something wrong with the child you could tell. So theres no need for being a snoop.
I don't think parents should go through our things. We'll get all paranoid on what we can text and what we can't. Also, how would they like it if we went through their texts and their calls and whatever they do? We should have privacy and trust. If there's no trust then kids start rebelling because they feel it's the only way to get back at their parents, so instead of keeping them safe, they're actually putting their kids in more danger. I know I'm a 13-year-old girl and when my parents go through my stuff I go through theirs.
If my parents truly want to see my texts or calls, they can get a court order, or, do a novel idea for parents: they can ASK. I don't want them snooping around in my texts, simply because I feel like they're smothering me, along with invading my privacy. It shouldn't be allowed because your texts are YOUR texts. If you want to see them, her a subpoena.
I'm 18 and my parents pay my phone bill. My mom has read my text messages without my consent when she "didn't trust me" and she thought it was her right. Legally anyone besides the owner of mail can be persecuted for reading another's mail. Texts are mail, therefore it is illegal.
I share an iCloud account with my parents so I can't keep them off. Every text I send/ receive goes through my dad's phone. It is so annoying. I don't send anything bad but I have never done anything wrong to lose that privilege. Innocent until proven guilty. Seriously, do parents have to be that protective. I don't understand.
I chose "NO" because I believe that your typical suburban soccer moms have a powertrip, meaning they have a need to check on everything their kid does. Locked doors are not allowed in their house, and they go through the kid's things and consider 5 and 17 to be the same; "minor". But if the kid is under 15, and for some weird reason has a phone in the first place, then that's very different. I encourage being up their ass about their text messages, both to make sure they aren't meeting any creeps, and to make sure they aren't starting any bad habits; like chatspeak.
As a teen myself, I would hate to let my parents read my messages. I do not have really bad things on my phone, but I wouldn't want them to see messages between myself and others. I think parents should trust their children enough to not have to read their texts. It is an issue of not only their child's privacy, but the privacy of the person who the conversation is with.
We don't need to invade our children's privacy. They should be grown and responsible enough to have their own privacy. If we were in their shoes we wouldn't want our parents to read our messages now would we? If my children were in trouble they would tell me, if not i would know. We should be smart enough and let our kids have some secure. And if they are talking to someone whom they like, so be it! Its a major teenage thing for them to have a private bubble. They might think we don't trust them. We need to. They might end up not being comfortable knowing we read every little word they type. We must not be selfish, rude, and overprotective of our children. Thanks for taking the time for reading.
As a teen who has had her parents read her messages, that was the way my mother found out I was engaged. She told me one day by asking "So how's that ring you and your friend talked about?" She wanted to kick me out for it. It's absolutely a violation of privacy and it's completely and utterly unacceptable. As a young woman on her way to university, it is a very frustrating and stressful experience for a 17 year old to deal with.
Us teenagers need our privacy and if parents cant trust us enough to txt than that's their problem they should've raised us differently then. Expecuially if your in a secret relationship like me.
I bet they did the same when they were younger, go out and do things their parents wouldn't approve of. So just let us have privacy and some fun while we still can, they got it so why cant we?

Edin Dzeko is wanted by Inter Milan, according to reports in Italy.
The Bosnian has lost his Manchester City place to Alvaro Negredo, despite scoring six times in his 12 appearances this season.
This has alerted Inter and the Serie A side have money to spend, thanks to new owner Erick Thohir.
Tuttosport claim Inter are preparing a bid for the Bosnian striker, whose City deal expires in June 2015.
Dzeko recently revealed his desire to become an integral part of Manuel Pellegrini's side, insisting English football is yet to see the best of him.

Automatically wraps global dependencies into an Angular injectable. Works for most libraries that support requirejs.
Allows you to inject third party libraries which would normally be globals (and prevent most from declaring themselvess globally).
I loved require.js because it finally freed me of global variables in my js. During my first Angular.js project, however, it became clear that:
Angular.js + require.js = more trouble than its worth
I spent some time trying to come up with a solution that accomplished a few goals: * No editing of third party code. * No extra boilerplate angular code for each new dependency * Support for bower * Avoid requiring extra build steps
Add scripts to your page in the following order:
[jQuery, Angular, Angular Define Wrapper, ...]
For example:
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-global-injector.js"></script>
<script src="lodash.js"></script>
Inject your globals as you would any other angular injectable.
Help and Support
If you encounter any bugs or compatibility issues with any third party library please submit an issue or pull request. I plan on maintaining this tool, but I'd appreciate any community support I can get.

City of the Future Program
Times have changed. Our population has changed. Most municipalities continue to be plagued with a multitude of financial and operational challenges, while many more Americans are moving to cities, reversing decade-long trends of settling in the suburbs. Our cities and towns are flush with tradition and old habits that continue to fortify old ideas. Undeniably, this creates formidable issues and challenges for all involved.
BlumShapiro recognizes just how daunting this degree of change can be. For this reason, we have developed the following six-step approach to help municipalities evolve into the City of the Future.
STEP 1: Strategic Framework—engages senior leadership in the process of establishing a robust set of operating principles on how they prefer to manage the municipality's long-term strategy and evolution;
STEP 2: Baseline Assessment—reviews the current municipal work processes and determines areas for improvement;
STEP 3: Target Vision—develops a vivid and compelling City of the Future vision story that describes where the municipality needs to be in the future;
STEP 4: Opportunities Identification—compares and contrasts the current and target modes of operation and delivery of services, and identifies gaps between the two that must be filled in order for the City to achieve its vision for its City of the Future;
STEP 5: Implementation Plan (Action Planning)—defines and documents the projects and programs that must be executed in order to achieve the target vision, and plots them on a timeline (based on interdependencies and strategic significance) to create a "prioritized" plan of attack; and,
STEP 6: Plan Administration Process—presents recommendations on how the municipality can manage the execution and evolution of its City of the Future strategic plan over the course of time.
The projects and programs identified in the City of the Future strategic plan all seek to transform the city. The transformational elements typically addressed include:
- Governance and Organization
- Transformation of Education
- Innovative Service Delivery
- State-of-the-art Human and Social Services
- Transparency
- Sustainability
- Modern Public Safety Initiatives
- Re-Imagined Quality of Life
Ultimately, city leaders must begin to think differently about what it takes to flourish. They need to break down the "silos" between individual city departments and begin to think and operate as a team, as one unit. They need to build a roadmap that can take them from where they are today to where they need to be in the future. They need to enable their residents, business owners and visitors to readily engage and participate in the necessary transformation.
About BlumShapiro
BlumShapiro has a rich history of working with municipalities to provide a pragmatic approach to better government with its City of the Future offering.
Our first-hand experience gives BlumShapiro unique insight into creating practical solutions, while providing thoughtful and prudent advice on advancing ideas and best practices within municipal government.
Rooted in responsible government and accountability for creating public value, BlumShapiro will help municipal governments identify new ideas and present provocative insights that help them to reimagine and create their vision of the City of the Future.

Now those were some great memories last week, and I hope I never forget 'em! In fact, I may just go out and try a few do-overs ... nah. It's never as much fun the second time around.
And as for waiting a week, or more, to post again ... well, 'tis the Season. To Procrastinate, that is. Should I write or should I wrap, that is the question. Trying to squeeze in a little of both. Unfortunately, deadlines reign supreme, on both ends, so something's gotta give.
And that would be sleep. Which, unfortunately, will affect both tasks rather unfavorably. My rough drafts look an awful lot like a badly wrapped package, and there are quite a few of those piling up in my closet right this minute. At least I can edit the bad writing; there's no help for Santa's helper.
Just excuses, and right now I better start thinking of some good ones.

I hear you on that. That is why gift bags were invented.

When you're done your wrapping can you swing by and do mine too...PLEASSSSSSSSE, with sugar on it? And write something for me too that I can get published and become an instant success and a multi hundredaire. (apparently being published in Canada doesn't mean you actually can make any money off of it.) If it's not too much to ask ;-)

The rule that you can't accept pay before you join the NFL draft is good for football players, because most of their career is after their NCAA career. But for a gymnast, the vast majority of their earning potential as a professional athlete occurs before they enter the NCAA. So it's only fair that they should be able to accept pay.
It is a very touchy subject, but by no means should college athletes receive pay, or any other type of gains while they are playing college sports. By allowing this, the NCAA and other college organizations run into a situation where players could become more corrupt than is already happening.
College athletes choose to play sports because they are indeed compensated even though it is not monetarily. Athletes can receive scholarships, academic leniency, and full fill their own personal pleasures through playing college sports. College athletics should be an audition for the chance to play professional sports in which they may earn money.
Most high school students could only dream of a gaining a free education at today's prices. Today's NCAA athletes not only get a full ride, but also gain the notariety that can be cashed in after graduation.. With tuition at some schools going over $40k, college atheletes have it pretty good.

I want to thank each and every one of you who kicked off your shoes and made 2010 Barefoot Challenge a HUGE success. Thousands of people worldwide got involved and helped raise awareness about the very important issue of child poverty. It's people like you who make the world a better place!
I received plenty of messages from participants throughout the globe. Glen, a teacher from Brunei, says: "Our class did the Barefoot Challenge today and then spent our English lesson coming up with lists of things children needed to be healthy and happy. Thank you for inviting us, and we hope to make it school-campus wide next year!"
The City of Peterborough and the Township of Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield both proclaimed June 1, 2010 Barefoot Challenge Day and the Challenge got tremendous media attention in such countries as England, New Zealand, India, Australia, Korea, United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Four months ago, I also promised to have my head shaved on behalf of the school that raised the most funds for the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. My school, Lakefield College School, took that goal to heart and accomplished it, and yesterday my schoolmates witnessed my head shaving. So besides going without shoes, I went without hair as well!
I was also able to participate in an interview with the BBC about the Barefoot Challenge and International Children's Day. You can listen to it here.
Free trip to the Arctic
Last year, I was fortunate to have an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience. I received a Brita FilterForGood Eco-Challenge Student Grant and spent two and a half weeks in the Canadian Arctic, learning about climate change, Inuit culture and so much more. My online journal captures some of the most memorable expedition moments.
This August, Brita has brought back its FilterForGood Eco-Challenge Student Grant Program! Brita is looking to send three of Canada's most promising young environmentalists on an amazing educational expedition to the Canadian Arctic with the award-winning organization Students On Ice (SOI).
The deadline for submissions is June 6th. If you are a high school or university student or know of someone who would be interested, please get the submission in before this date. To learn more or to apply for an Eco-Challenge grant, please visit FilterForGood.ca.
Warm Regards,

The International Monetary Fund yesterday said it established a new $8.4 billion pool of money to help prop the shaky financial underpinnings of some of the world's poorest countries. The new money from several member nations will be added to the $3 billion that the IMF has to help struggling poor nations. The US did not participate citing its large budget deficit.
Approval of the new money, to be called the enhanced structural adjustment facility, followed hard-fought negotiations on how the money would be raised and what conditions would be set for the loans.
Fire at MX missile plant kills four, wounds another
A fire that broke out yesterday at a building in Brigham City, where work on a stage of the MX missile is done, killed four workers and critically burned a fifth, company officials said. A spokesman for the company said the cause of the blaze at the Morton Thiokol Inc. building was not known.
The fire was put out immediately, but the building was destroyed.
Ortega and Obando meet to break talks' stalemate
Nicaraguan President Ortega met Miguel Cardinal Obando y Bravo yesterday to try to break the deadlock in peace talks between the government and the contras. Two of the points that have stalemated the peace talks are where to have the next round and whether they should be ``face to face.''
Police say Syrian troops ready for Israeli attack
About 700 Syrian troops have taken up positions opposite Israel's ``security zone'' in southeast Lebanon in anticipation of Israeli retaliation for a Palestinian guerrilla raid, police said yesterday. They said the force is equipped with Soviet-made arms.
Also yesterday, police reported four unidentified men were killed in Muslim West Beirut. No additional details were available at press time.
Plane crashes in Iran; `technical faults' blamed
A plane crashed into a residential area yesterday while trying to land at Tehran's Mehradad airport, killing or wounding ``several people,'' Iran's official radio reported. The Tehran radio report did not disclose the number of casualties or say what type of plane crashed. It said only that the training plane ``developed technical faults,'' while returning to the airport after a test flight.
Strikers and police clash in Bangladeshi rioting
Witnesses said at least 30 people were injured in clashes with police yesterday during an eight-hour nationwide strike called by the opposition to press for the resignation of President Ershad. Police fired tear-gas shells and charged strikers near the main mosque and the downtown district and arrested many demonstrators, said the witnesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Separately, a ferry crowded with about 150 people caught fire and sank Monday in a small, shallow river in southern Bangladesh, injuring at least 11 people, officials said yesterday.
Angola military reports South Africa bombings
South African planes have bombed Army positions and towns in southern Angola, killing 15 civilians, despite Pretoria's claim it was withdrawing its forces, the Angolan news agency Angop said yesterday. Citing military sources, the official agency said South African forces violated Angolan air space 10 times and bombed villages at least 12 times from Dec. 20 to Dec. 27. No other details were reported.
California judge blocks abortion-consent law
A judge Monday blocked California from enforcing a new law requiring females under 18 to get parental consent before obtaining an abortion. Superior Court Judge Morton Colvin granted the injunction sought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of doctors and family planning groups, which contended the legislation violated the pregnant females' right to privacy.
The injunction blocks enforcement of the law until a trial on its constitutionality. California officials said the state would likely appeal.
S. Korean auto companies plan to increase exports
South Korea's three main automobile companies said yesterday they plan to increase exports by 23.4 percent next year. The export targets total 679,000 vehicles, up from 550,000 vehicles in 1987. Hyundai Motor Company, Daewoo Motor Company, and Kia Motors Corporation also announced 1988 domestic sales goals totaling 660,000 vehicles, up 57.9 percent from this year's combined sales.
Korea's annual auto production will exceed 1 million vehicles for the first time next year, if the export and domestic targets are attained.
New selling hits dollar as value continues decline
New selling hit the dollar yesterday and alarm over a decline to its lowest levels since World War II caused a further retreat on London and New York stock exchanges. In early afternoon in Europe, the dollar hit a new low of 1.5865 West German marks. It traded around 123 Japanese yen, just above a historic low Monday of 122.75.
Bennett proposes ideal high school
Secretary of Education William Bennett proposed his vision of the ideal high school yesterday in Washington. The curriculum is traditional and prescriptive. It would require four years of high school English, three years of social studies, math, and science, and two years study of a foreign language for all students. Every American teen-ager would take 36 required courses, from algebra and art history to science and Western civilization. The report is not intended as a statement of federal policy. Called ``James Madison High School,'' Secretary Bennett's plan is a sequel to his previous report on elementary education, ``First Lessons,'' and it builds on that vision of education for grades 9-12.
``The better schools in the country already offer the kind of curriculum that he's talking about,'' says Scott Thomson, executive director of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, who questions the omission of business or vocational courses. ``It's important to keep kids in school who are not going on to college.''
For the record
Six Haitian officials from the Duvalier regime and two other people have registered so far to run in government-organized presidential elections in January, a judicial official said Monday. Kenya and Uganda have agreed to solve their border dispute peacefully and allow normal traffic to resume immediately between the two countries, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said Monday.
Kim Dae Jung, who split South Korea's opposition vote with Kim Young Sam in a recent presidential election, yesterday ruled out a reconciliation with his rival before 1988 parliamentary elections.
China's gross national product will exceed $270 billion this year, up 9 percent from 1986, China's official news agency said yesterday.
Arkansas authorities have found 16 people who were killed in one of the worst mass murders in the US this decade. The prime suspect in the killings, R. Gene Simmons, was ordered held without bond.

This column by Rachel Pokrandt, vice president of CMC Leadville and Chaffee County, was published in the March 22 Leadville Herald Democrat.
After 50 years, a new beginning – again.
For 50 years now, Leadville/Lake County and Colorado Mountain College have been joined at the hip. If one thrives, so will the other. As the college enjoys its 50th anniversary year, we are reminded that since the East Campus was founded in 1967, as one of two anchors for the college, the fortunes of the campus have been inextricably linked to the fortunes of the city of Leadville and to Lake County. The proud history of this linkage is what we celebrate throughout 2017 during our 50th anniversary year and what we think about at the campus each day in our effort to continually improve how we serve students and the local economy.
The college's first signature programs of secretarial science, electrical technology and mining technology served the thriving community that existed in the late '60s and, as times have changed, the programs have continued to evolve with the needs of the workforce and the students. The Leadville campus is now looking to the future, much as the surrounding community is doing. Which programs will serve the interests of students and also the need for workforce development in the area, and how can the college maximize its resources to keep current in the changing landscape of the local community?
We are extremely lucky to have strong partnerships with our innovative and forward-thinking school district, our economic development corporation and our industry partners with whom we are currently visioning technical trades programs, maker and thinker spaces, and new programs to offer students. As the new campus leader, I take this challenge very seriously and as leaders have done before me, I am committed to CMC Leadville's next exciting iteration.
The amazingly dedicated staff, faculty and students will use this monthly column space as one of the ways to tell you about our work, our successes, our challenges and our plans for the next 50 years in this remarkable community.
Rachel Pokrandt is the vice president of Colorado Mountain College Leadville and Chaffee County.

You know, it would be unbelievable if we were not seeing this government shutdown foolishness with our own eyes. People may not remember, but there was a similar shutdown in the nineties when President Bill Clinton was in office. It lasted about three weeks, where people were furloughed from their jobs without pay, while the Administration and Congress kept their paychecks. It's happening again.
Following this interesting link: "Who Broke Washington? How Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich Set the Stage for the Shutdown"
Now in 2013 the debate is over a ludicrous issue; birth control and easy access to abortions to be paid for with our money, our tax dollars. Oh, it's all couched neatly and wrapped up in a "health care for all" bow, but it is still all foolishness. I've been saying that as the mother of two daughters and grandmother to three precious girls, they don't need free birth control and easy abortions. What they need more of are decent homes, good education, and relief from poverty and lack. Also, they definitely need to have prayer back in schools and they need Jesus.
Why is relevancy an issue? Several months ago, White House Digital Reporter Devin Dwyer of ABCNEWS.com reported this:
Planned Parenthood at Center of Budget Shutdown Threat
"The elimination of $363 million in federal funding for Planned Parenthood health care centers may well force a government shutdown at midnight tonight.
Republicans want to block $70 million Planned Parenthood receives each year under Title X, a program implemented under Republican President Richard Nixon in 1970 to provide contraceptives, cancer screenings, and pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease testing at community health centers across the country. And they want to cut off $293 million the clinics receive through Medicare.
Conservative lawmakers say the money indirectly subsidizes abortions, despite the fact that the federal Hyde Amendment expressly prohibits such use of taxpayer funds.
Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider, but it issued a fact sheet today stating that more than 90 percent of its health care services are preventive, not abortions. The company says no taxpayer funds are used to fund abortions."
Now that the shutdown is actually here, we can see that Planned Parenthood is still in the mix as a major proponent of distributing free birth control and easy access to abortions; while all the time they remain as America's largest abortion provider. Again, girls and women need good education, fair housing and good jobs much, much more than they need free birth control and easy abortion access, all which by the way remain at the core of the Obama Care battle.
Finally, take a look at what my friend wrote in his journal 0n 10/2013:
"For the second time in 17 years our nation has experienced a Government Shutdown. I suppose there was some type of "system failure". The world will go on. Aren't you glad that the Government of God can never be shutdown, break down or have "system failure"?
At the beginning of 2012, my friend the prophet also wrote: "Around October 2013, there is a possibility for a crash or "system failure" – [Soon coming extreme weather disasters can be very deadly – pray and change it].
"People are worried and afraid because their trust is in the people that work or hang around the White House or the Congress." Then on 9/28/13 he wrote:
"We will yet be experiencing financial transition during the month of October (2013). Everything that will be happening will not be seen by the public. However, at this point the impact of what has been planned may not be as powerful as some would have liked. We do have the power to stand in the gap and Creator God is gracious."
"There are those in high offices and behind the scenes that had planned this "system failure" to take a huge toll on the American people. They had planned for events to cause lots of unnecessary pain and suffering to further rip this nation apart. But during my intercession time, I felt the prayers, meditations of the righteous rise up causing subtle changes in the consciousness of many, thus, disarming the plans of the wicked. The transition that's happening behind the scenes will be much smoother now."
Now here's where it gets really interesting. Look for these links:
With all of this in mind, this leads me to say that I'm praying for SANITY to blow over Washington, DC and over all of our state and local seats of political power.

Many of my peers are getting married or having babies. While I see many well-adjusted couples; I also see many for whom the couple's life is very asymmetric. The wife is expected to stay within one very rigid role while the husband has to fill another. While Indian families typically tend to constrain the role of the wife, the husband's position is also very strictly determined by society.
This is something that's been bothering me for a while. I see a lot of families in which the wife only manages the house. She is incapable of earning money, having a career, or being an intellectual. While the feminist movement makes us aware of this situation, we don't see the husband's limitations. Many husbands are incapable of cooking, running a household, being a loving and tolerant parent, or playing childish games with kids. This asymmetry is plainly visible in older Indians and many new couples face it as well.
Let me begin by saying that this isn't always the case. I am familiar with many examples of very determined wives, who are motivated, intellectually sharp, and have successful careers outside home. I am also familiar with husbands who can cook wonderfully, are warm and affectionate (and even childish) around kids, and can run a home with the grace and ability of the best house-wives. But these are the exceptions. These exceptions are exactly the ones where I see the most balanced couples: their relation seems the happiest and most fulfilling. So let's focus on families in which the couples have very asymmetric roles and they don't want to correct this asymmetry.
This asymmetry is most visible in the death or illness of either partner. When the wife is very sick, the husband is called upon to take care of the house, perhaps cook for everyone, and have the gentle touch required when taking care of the family. If the husband is ill for an extended period, the wife might have to start a career, to avoid becoming a dependent upon family. Even if the couple is healthy and never have to deal with such a situation, there might be days when the wife cannot take care of the house alone: and needs a person who is skilled to lend a hand. This is often the case with pregnant women. Or there might be trouble with the husband's career where the wife's career can ease the burden on the family.
This asymmetry is quite dangerous. It makes each person limit themselves needlessly. Women gradually convince themselves that car or the computer is off-bounds for them: it is something they cannot understand. Men learn that cooking or cleaning is futile -- a skill that is worthless. Such men are incapable of living alone for any length of time. They don't appreciate how hard it is to soothe a crying child or to discipline one. When such men are asked to take care of the child, they are either too strict or too lenient.
Society hurts the situation too -- It frowns on women earning more than their husbands. I'd be quite happy if my wife earned more than me. I would know: it has been true for most of my marriage. Also, Indian society does not lay much stress on the husband's cooking, cleaning, or child-rearing ability. How often do Indians compliment a husband for being great with kids? In the West, being good with kids is a strong attraction for women. Tommy Testosterone might be a great guy, but he isn't always a great father, or a loving boyfriend. Cooking well is as easily a way into a woman's heart as it is to a man's.
Finally, the world is moving away from these very rigid roles. Women are just as educated as men, and are just as determined and capable. Their earning ability and their intellectual interests are just as valuable outside the home. Men are marrying later, spending their youth with room-mates, learning how to run a house: cooking, cleaning, and figuring out the politics behind keeping a house-servant. Well balanced couples are more appreciative of each other. A husband who has tried to cook can truly appreciate the skill and effort required. He is generous with praise, inquisitive, and genuinely useful in the kitchen. Kids howl less when such a father proceeds towards the kitchen to make dinner. Similarly, a wife who can earn and is capable of doing taxes is a true asset. Some of the happiest married couples I know are ones in which the wife is just as good at fixing the computer or the car! Their kids get a very powerful role-model, where mommy is seen as daddy's equal.
After all, the healthiest relationships are between equals.

Shady Elves
Proposed Canon
First Appearance: TBFGK 21
Shady Elves are an Elf brand.
Part of the Royal Crown Coalition. They specialize in archery and can also use Signamancy.Erf-b1-p021
They followed Odie Ose's suggestion to flee the Battle for Gobwin Knob and survived as a result.Hvs.tCF 83
Shady Elves seem to be an analog of "Dark Elves" from other sources. Their dark gothic appearance leaves their motives in question - they look more like Wanda than anything. Likely the "bad boys" of the elves, they are probably the fiercest fighters other than the Eager Elves, and seem to be effective archers, likely second only to the Woodsy Elves. They also probably have access to certain dark mancies (Naughtymancies?) that the other elves don't (like Croakamancy). They may also have access to veils, obfuscation, and other concealment-related forms of Foolamancy.
Real World References
Shady Elves seem to dress like goths.

Hollywood's most fortunate faces often rely on the skills of their cosmetic dentist in ways that may surprise you.
Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep have perfectly nice teeth on their own. But, to meet the challenges of demanding roles in films, both used cosmetic dental appliances (dentures) to change the looks of their natural teeth.
Since women have smaller, rounder teeth, Hoffman, (who played a woman in "Tootsie") used a partial denture to make his teeth look more feminine.
To suggest the brutality of life in a concentration camp, Meryl Streep's teeth and mouth were altered for her role as Sophie Zawistowska, the poignant heroine of "Sophie's Choice."
More commonly, actors see their cosmetic dentists long before they get in front of the camera. In an image-conscious industry, it's no secret the camera is a harsh critic. And a mouth with missing teeth, or a mouthful of stained or broken teeth never helped an actor's image - or the image of a banker, doctor or secretary for that matter.
Few of us face a camera at work every day. But we all face an audience and it's the same audience that goes to the movies. The movies tell us successful people look good, failures don't. Ugly teeth can tell the tale.
Hollywood uses dentistry to make villains out of heroes - you too can use cosmetic dentistry to get a "winning" smile. Restorative dentistry is available to anyone who wants to look better.
Techniques such as dental veneers and tooth bonding have joined the traditional process of dental caps as ways to improve smiles. Orthodontic braces aren't just for children anymore, they're also available to adults who want straight teeth. In some cases, you can opt for teeth bleaching, or have your teeth lengthened or sculpted. If you think you would benefit from these treatments, ask your cosmetic dentist. Not all the new techniques will work for everyone, but he or she will be glad to discuss the best plan for your smile.
With today's new cosmetic dental techniques, you can cast yourself successfully in a competitive world with an award-winning smile.
In restorative dentistry a dental crown, or caps for teeth, look and function just like natural teeth. Your cosmetic dentist may recommend a dental crown if your tooth has enough decay that it cannot hold a filling, or if your tooth is cracked or broken and in danger of cracking down into the root if left unattended. A dental crown covers your tooth completely. It fits snugly at the gum and protects what remains of the natural tooth.
The dental crown serves two important functions. First, it restores the appearance of your teeth and your face. If your tooth is severely decayed or cracked, your cosmetic dentist will need to restore it prior to preparing a cap. Teeth also support the muscles in our faces, so anything less than a full tooth may affect the way you smile.
Second, a dental crown will be the same size and shape as the natural tooth. As a result, it will keep your jaw and bite aligned; it will also make sure that other teeth don't shift locations or take on a greater share of the work of biting and chewing.
A dental crown is most often made of gold or porcelain. A dental crown also can be made of stainless steel, but those are often temporary and not designed for long-term wear.
A porcelain dental crown is usually built on a metal base, which fits snugly over the natural tooth. Your dentist will choose a porcelain that matches the color of your natural teeth. A porcelain dental crown is usually so carefully matched in color, it cannot be distinguished from your natural teeth. Many people choose porcelain dental crowns for the cosmetic appearance and the confidence it give them.
New materials are now available in cosmetic dentistry that allow your cosmetic dentist to use an "all-ceramic" dental crown in some cases. They have a beautiful life-like appearance and short-term studies support their success, with long-term trials ongoing.
A dental crown can be made of all gold. Some people prefer not to use a gold crown because it stands out from the other teeth in appearance. At the same time, if the gold crown is on a back molar, some people feel the cosmetic issue is not a big one. Your cosmetic dentist will discuss the types of materials available if a gold crown is recommended.
Once your dental crown is in place, make sure the area is brushed well and that you floss below the gum line. While the dental crown protects your remaining tooth from further decay, you must protect the base of the dental crown from bacterial growth and gum disease. Regular brushing and flossing as you would your natural teeth will ensure that your crown will be in place for years to come!
Your Gold Crown is not just royal jewelry for your mouth!

TALLAHASSEE — State health officials term ``premature`` a call by auditors to abolish a hospital regulatory program intended to eliminate excessive duplication of services and bring down medical costs.
A preliminary state audit of the ``certificate of need`` program operated by the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services indicated it has done little to stem soaring medical costs. Indeed, a yearlong investigation by the auditor general determined that the program is poorly monitored, does not control cost overruns, does little to ensure cost effectiveness and has hurt competition in the medical industry.
But an HRS reply to the audit, released Tuesday, contests those charges.
``We contend that the CON program in Florida has appropriately restrained unnecessary capital expenditures for excessively duplicative health care facilities,`` said HRS Secretary David Pingree in a cover letter to Auditor General Ernest Ellison. ``Furthermore, the CON program has assisted in increasing access to health care for geographically and financially underserved Floridians. Finally, we assert that the CON program, in concert with the state`s Health Planning Program, has promoted constructive competitive forces within Florida`s health care industry.``
The certificate program was adopted by the state in 1972. It was designed to curb medical costs by requiring doctors and hospitals to apply for a certificate of need to justify the adding of new facilities and services.
Pingree said the state`s health care system is in a state of flux because of legislative changes during the past few years and the growth of new medical programs, such as health maintenance organizations. Therefore, he said, it is too early to make a decision on the effectiveness of any one state regulatory program.
``To tamper drastically with the CON component at this time would seem premature,`` Pingree wrote. ``Therefore, 1987 or 1988 would seem a better time to look at how the health care delivery system in Florida is working. Even then, the review should be of the whole system rather than of just one element.``

This is a guest post from Mitch Joel — President, Twist Image and author of "Six Pixels of Separation." His new book "CTRL ALT DEL" comes out in May 2013. See the original post this is adapted from and more like it on his blog.
When you're vulnerable people connect more to whatever it is that you're doing.
If we're going to talk about the work that we do as a form of art (as I believe it is — much in the same way, that Seth Godin talks about in his business book, Linchpin), we have to be able to ask ourselves (in a very deep and serious way): what makes art resonate? What makes it work? What gets people (or our fellow workers) interested in the art we're working on? We can talk about the value of talent (more on that here: The Deception Of Malcolm Gladwell, Seth Godin and Gary Vaynerchuk), and we can talk about our passions, dedication to the cause, consistency at producing results, and everything else, but we have to be able to dig a little deeper.
The heart and soul of great art is the ability for the artist to be vulnerable.
Be it performing a song for the first time or walking into a massive business meeting with a big idea, the only way that great ideas take form is when the person (or people) who are creating it are willing to be vulnerable.
Think about it this way: The majority of website content that we see basically sucks. OK, maybe that's being harsh, some of it is OK to passable, but most of it is void of all spirit and heart. It is jargon-filled buzzwords that percolate from the page because it has been sanitized through iterations and different people. Through these revisions, the heart and soul are lost (or were never there to begin with because the company wants to use big, masculine, and powerful words).
Who would buy anything from a company that was vulnerable?
This is the problem with words and definitions. If you look at the definition of the word, "vulnerable," it's probably not the way you want your business to be described. You'll see everything from, "capable of or susceptible to being wounded or hurt" to "open to moral attack, criticism, temptation." But here's where it gets interesting: The more vulnerable you are when it comes to your art (and it could be a blog post, a business proposal, or poetry), the more people tend to look at it (and feel it) differently.
I prefer to define vulnerable as someone who is doing something with an open and honest heart — and the expression of that bears to light in the output. It's when you can feel the heart and soul of the person who created something. In being this way, yes these creators are susceptible to being wounded, and yes they are open to moral attacks, but in the same instance, they are showing their truth.
It's very human. It's very humane.
If all we're going to do is say that social media has changed business to think about real interactions between real human beings, but lather that up with standard, corporate lingo and the usual business pap and banter, what is the point? It would be foolish of me to recommend that a brand be vulnerable. It would be wise of me to recommend that the people who represent the brand take a step back and think about what it might feel like when the consumer is vulnerable, or what it might be like to communicate like a human (and let's face it, if we're human, we are vulnerable… all of us).
It's not personal. It's very personal.
Does this mean that for businesses to be successful, all of the people who make it up must be vulnerable and divulge all of their deepest, most personal fears and worries? No. It does mean that those who are willing to be more vulnerable will not only get more attention, but they will also be the ones who find the right type of people to connect with (better customers). Writing with emotion — from a true place of vulnerability — is hard because nobody wants to be made the fool (and that is the perception of what the risk is).
But, let's take a step back and really think about this: would we have any of the great art, technology, brands, or ideas that we have if the people who created them weren't truly and deeply vulnerable? Be honest: Do you think any mainstream newspaper or magazine would print a blog post like this as an article? When people ask me if blogging is hard, my answer is simple: "It's only hard if you're not willing to be vulnerable."
Before you continue on, ask yourself if you (or your business) could use a little bit more of your own vulnerability injected into it?

The bane of Sony's current systems is the way in which they update their firmware. They're updated often, and you have to install them, meaning impulsive gaming sessions sometimes become boring installation sessions instead.
It's a problem the company is looking to fix with the release of the upcoming PlayStation Vita. Speaking with Game Informer, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida says "I agree, it's very annoying when you only have one hour in your busy life to play a game, and when you have to spend 30 minutes out of that one hour to update the hardware."
"So it's not necessarily the frequency of how we update, it's like you said — intrusiveness — of the current processes that we have on PS3 and PSP. I cannot talk about specific plans, but we are very aware of the issues, and we'd like to address those issues on PS Vita going forward."
Background updating would be fantastic. Failing that, bundling updates up so they're less frequent would be appreciated.

Slow Science: An in-depth look at newborn screening in Montana | Montana Center for Investigative Reporting
Montana's newborn screening program depends on speed to save babies from a plethora of deadly disorders at birth. But the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services fought for 10 months to keep hospital's performances hidden from public view, before finally agreeing to release the data with hospital names. And the results are not good, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability to ensure an effective newborn screening program for Montana families.
Newborn screening programs saves lives when healthcare facilities act swiftly and follow protocol, protecting newborn children from dozens of life-threatening conditions, and reassuring a family's first hope that their baby is healthy. But the process can become deadly when protocol is not followed, and standards for efficiency fall by the wayside.
If you're a parent with a child who has had a particularly good, or bad experience with newborn screening in Montana, we would love to hear your story. Please send us an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

In line with what the early leaks revealed, Wright's fighting style in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is entirely accidental. He searches for evidence on the ground, sneezes, gesticulates and shouts, instead of punching and kicking. His "search for evidence" move can reveal health pickups, or actual evidence – get three pieces of evidence and Wright enters a Turnabout Phase stance, letting him do higher-damage moves. Totally epic.

Some tips for buying canaries are selecting healthy, active birds, buying birds from reputable breeders, and not purchasing birds who are in the midst of moulting. Another important tip for buying canaries is to make sure they are young enough to respond to training.
When choosing a canary to buy, it's important to observe the behavior of the available canaries, and pick one that seems healthy and active. If a canary acts drowsy or lethargic or has unkempt feathers, it is probably not in the best of health and therefore not a good investment. In addition, make sure the canary does not have any discharge around its eyes, beak, or under its tail feather, as this could indicate disease.
Another important tip relating to canary health is not to purchase one that is in the process of moulting its feathers. Moulting is a stressful phase for a canary, and the strain of moving to a new home at the same time could be hazardous to the bird's health.
Research breeders before making a purchase. In general, breeders who exhibit their birds often tend to have good reputations, as their birds need to be kept in good health in order to show. Personally assess the condition of a breeder's aviary, and don't buy from him if the space seems dirty or mismanaged. Buying a young canary is preferable to buying an adult, as younger birds are easier to train.

16% rise in visitors from Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland
The number of visits by people from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland grew by 16% last year.
Figures from the Central Statistics Office in Dublin revealed there were 430,000 trips north in 2012, compared to 370,000 the year before.
There was also an increase in number of nights people stayed.
But no breakdown is given for why people made the trips - it could have been holidays, business or visiting friends or relatives.
Northern Ireland's overall tourism figures for 2012 are due to be released shortly.
The first nine months revealed a 12% drop in visitor numbers, but this did not reflect southern visitors.
The big decreases have been in people coming from Britain and mainland Europe.
