The "Real" Alicia Keys
"And tell the singer, Alicia Keys, that she owes me money,� says Alicia Keys the model.
[Our Model Of The Day]
Where She's From: Alicia Keys, a Scorpio, was born in Albany, Georgia and raised in Thomasville. The young model currently attends Valencia College and launched her modeling career two months ago.
In her short time she has already dealt with many challenges and credits the solid foundation from her parents and her grandfather, Brady Keys, the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers star of the 1960s and 70s and Pro Bowler who later went on to found a successful fast food franchise.
"My mom passed away not too long ago and my sisters and I were split up. That has really been the hardest thing to deal with," Alicia tells The Black Star New. Still, she adds, she knows her mother would be proud to see that she is determined to fulfill her destiny.
"I want everybody to call me and show me love and book me for jobs," she says, with a laugh. "Don't worry about the other models they'll get their time. And tell the singer, Alicia Keys, that she owes me money."
Where She's At: She is already offering several offers having completed recent photo shoots. Still, Alicia says she hopes to emulate some of granddad Brady's business savvy and not just rely on her looks. "People put beauty in a box and tell you to 'sit there and be cute.' I want beautiful young ladies to have a voice and determine their own destiny—control their business; not just be the toys to all the men."
Alicia's Words Of Wisdom: "Stand for something or else you'll fall for anything."
Alicia's Secrets Of Success: "Listening to my dad and watching my grandfather Brady Keys."
Alicia's Favorite Three Movies: "White Chicks, Lord Of The Rings and The Matrix."
Alicia's Favorite Three Books: "Lord Of The Rings, Just Us Ladies, and Patties Pearls."
The First Three Things Alicia Would Do As President: "Give $100 to every person over 17 years old; bring home the troops and let Iraqis fight for themselves, then take a vacation."
Alicia's Favorite Cars: " Acuras."
Alicia's Favorite Entertainers: "India, Musiq Soulchild."

Macaque Monkeys Adapt After Hurricane Maria
Clip: Season 45 | 4m 44s
Over 1800 rhesus macaques inhabit the tiny island of Cayo Santiago just off the east coast of Puerto Rico. Most of these monkeys managed to survive Hurricane Maria, but researchers speculate that their behavior and cognition may have been altered. The reason is a change in availability of resources on the island, including that of shade.

A Death Is Born
January 7, 2012
Famous Author Mykle Hansen says:
HOORAY FOR DEATH! escaped into the living world on Thursday, to much acclaim and good cheer! Fans, enthusiasts, stalkers, the merely curious and strangers off the street shared in an evening of stories, slides, conversation, card cames and homemade cookies. Thank you all so very much for coming! It was great to see you.
Doors opened at 6:30 and the place filled up fast! At 7pm, Drew Anderson, host of MoHDI Gallery in the Pearl District, introduced himself, his world of ideas, and the first reader: Ritah Parrish, actress and author of PINK MENACE. Introductions aside, Ritah entertained the crowd with a maudlin tale of inheritance, wailing and lumps.
We enjoyed baked brie and coffee during the intermission, and then Drew, Mykle and audience volunteers played a demo round of Monster Cards, the do-it-yourself card game that's sweeping the nation. Enterprising audience members drew new monsters for the MoHDI house deck from that moment until closing time.
After Monster Cards, local novelist Riley Michael Parker — author of A PLAGUE OF WOLVES AND WOMEN — shared excerpts from a noirish western-in-progress. Many men died, and there was much laughter.
Second intermission: tea, cookies and monsters. Then, Michael Hansen took the stage to give a PowerPoint presentation titled "Death: An Overview," and then read a story from HOORAY FOR DEATH, concerning Death's romantic entanglement with a perfectly healthy yoga instructor.
Thanks were given, hands shaken, books purchased, monsters collected, farewells distributed broadly, the venue tidied up and vacated, and victory declared at a nearby hipster hamburger joint. A splendid time was had by all — honestly, it couldn't have gone better.
Mr. Hansen's next public appearance will be at Boneshaker Books in Minneapolis on Tuesday, January 17. He'll be reading alongside John Jodzio, author of GET IN IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.

Double Chocolate Raspberry, Blackberry Buckle, Strawberry Shortcake
August ranks as one of the region's sweetest months so it only makes sense that our seasonal flavors would reflect that.
Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake
There's no way around it, Strawberry Shortcake was this year's favorite Strawberry Festival flavor! We heard from you on Twitter (follow us!) and Facebook (like us!) and in the cafes. We totally get it especially since we've had more than our fair share of them ourselves. The light, strawberry-flavored whipped cream frosting ringed in graham cracker crumbs goes perfectly with the sweet strawberry-infused vanilla cake. Not carrying it over would have been cruel.
Blackberry Crumble
Blackberry Buckle
Rumor has it that upon tasting this new flavor, one of our employees actually teared up. A blackberry cake topped with a blackberry whipped cream frosting is finished with a cinnamon streusel crunch. We can't guarantee that it'll make you cry with delicious happiness, but let's just say that we wouldn't judge you if it did.
Double Chocolate Raspberry
Double Chocolate Raspberry
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. First, your tart raspberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips, gently folded into a tasty vanilla cake. Second, how you are topped with a fluffy, white chocolate buttercream frosting and garnished with a fresh raspberry and chocolate curls. It all adds up to a double dose of sweetness with just a hint of tart. Delicious with a latte!
But this is a love that can't last forever; these flavors are only around through August 31. Have a sweet summer from Cupcake Royale!

Thousands of volunteers to welcome Batkid to S.F.
Five-year-old Miles already has experience fighting villains - he's been facing off with acute lymphoblastic leukemia since he was 20 months old.
With his cancer in remission and his last bout of chemotherapy finished in June, his biggest wish was to continue living his life heroically. "He wanted to be Batman," said Patricia Wilson, the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Bay Area executive director.
We can do that, Wilson thought, and she began putting the call out to volunteers to help turn San Francisco into Gotham City for a day for the boy from Tulelake (Siskiyou County).
It might as well have been a worldwide Bat-Signal. Word of the foundation's efforts spread quickly on social media, and soon what started as a small effort to make a 5-year-old boy a hero for the day turned into a citywide extravaganza, with support and volunteers coming in from all over.
On Friday, by Make-A-Wish's count, thousands of volunteers will cheer on "Batkid" as he defeats the Riddler and the Penguin at locations around San Francisco. The mayor will present Miles with a key to the city. Police Chief Greg Suhr will step in as Commissioner Gordon to alert Miles when his heroics are needed.
"I thought I could do it on a scale that a 5-year-old would appreciate," said Wilson, whose foundation specializes in granting wishes to children with serious diseases. "But apparently, it's on a scale now that the nation appreciates.
"I've never seen anything go viral like this, with the outpouring of support from across the world," she said.
Suhr said so many people want to help out that officials have had to turn away some volunteers.
"My butcher at the grocery store was asking what he could do, the police commissioners was asking what they could do," he said. "Everywhere I go, the only thing people want to talk about is Batkid. I was just at a meeting with the attorney general, and Kamala Harris said, 'Tell me about Batkid!' "
Miles and his family, who asked that their last name not be released, arrived in San Francisco on Thursday, the foundation said. His parents have been briefed on Friday's events, but Miles still does not know the extent of what's to come.
Wilson credited the spirit of tech-savvy San Francisco, whose residents took to the idea immediately and began spreading word through social media.
"We have done other superhero wishes before at Make-A-Wish, and no city has embraced it like this one," she said. "There's going to be a lot of love in San Francisco on Friday."

Marlins unveil 'Jose's Heroes' seating section
Season-ticket plan includes T-shirts, meet-and-greet with All-Star Fernandez
MIAMI -- Jose Fernandez generated plenty of excitement and garnered his share of attention during his spectacular 2013 rookie season.
The 21-year-old sensation established himself as the Marlins' ace. He also was named to the All-Star team and went on to receive the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
With "Jose Hysteria" on the rise, the Marlins have created their own cheering area for the hard-throwing right-hander.
On Monday, the club announced the creation of "Jose's Heroes," comprising sections 29-32. Full-season tickets for all 81 home games in the area will be $499 per seat.
The Marlins have yet to make it official, but it is widely assumed Fernandez will pitch Opening Night on March 31 against the Rockies at Marlins Park.
Purchasing season tickets has its perks.
Those in sections 29-32 will receive one "Jose's Heroes" T-shirt per month to wear during each of Fernandez's home starts. They also will have one "K card" per game, to display after each strikeout. Fans also will have a chance to take part in one meet-and-greet opportunity with Fernandez during the season.
Season-ticket packages are available on marlins.com.
Single-game tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ET at marlins.com as well as at Marlins Park.
The Marlins will have their Winter Warm-Up on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET at Marlins Park.

(A follow up post from previous Veterans Days with the addition of my cousin the Brigadier General and priest since I finally got a picture of him, and the promotion of my cousin, JoAnn. Congrats on your promotion!)
I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has served honorably in our Armed Forces. Without our service members past and present our country would not be where it is today. We would not have gained our independence, we would not have unified a divided country, we would not have stopped the atrocities of 2 World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. There are many conflicts not mentioned which do not make light of the sacrifices that servicemen and women made in them. Sometimes the sacrifice was in time away from family and long hours. At times it was witnessing the horrors of those wars or even succumbing valiantly to them.
Not everyone serves their country as a Veteran does and not everyone can or should. You are unique, respected and given a burden that many would not be able to bear. Whether you served many months or many years in our Armed Forces makes no difference. You served. Thank you!
I'd like to now pay tribute to my family members who have served (I hope I didn't miss any!).

I really enjoy cooking with fresh herbs, but buying the packaged variety at the grocery store can really add up. So, this winter I'm growing my own indoors. We created a space-saving herb garden to hang on our kitchen wall. The design keeps herbs handy without taking up limited shelf or counter space.
• Clean glass jars
• Hose clamps
• Board
• Small rocks
• Potting mix
• Mending plates
• Picture wire and d-hooks
• Plants
Step 1
Select a sunny space on the wall or under a bright light. Measure the area where you're going to hang the herb garden, then cut the backing board to size. We chose a scrap piece of cedar and sanded the board. We left ours natural, but you could easily paint or stain the wood to match your décor.
Step 2
Step 3
Lay the jars out on the board. If you're stacking them, make sure to leave enough growing room for the plant. Make a mark where the clamp will attach to the board.
Step 4
Attach the clamps to the board, using mending plates to hold the clamps in place.
Step 5
Line the bottom of the jars with rocks for better drainage.
Step 6
Add a good potting mix and insert the plants. Pack soil around the plant, lightly tamp it down, and add a little water.
Step 7
Attach heavy-duty picture frame hooks and wire to the back of the board.
Step 8
Attach the jars to the board, tightening the clamps.
Step 9
The final step is to hang your finished project on the wall.

Hello all,
I've created a license server program that runs in both Linux and Windows. I need it to run as a deamon/service. In Linux, that means an additional 8 lines of code, but in Windows, as you know, it's a bit more difficult. My program runs fine from the command line in Windows, but I need a bit of help getting it running as a service.
I've done a bit of research and can install/remove the service, but getting it running as a service is proving to be a bit more difficult. If I open up the service manager, I see my service listed, but if I try to start it (by opening the properties for my service and clicking "start") I get:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I suppose this is because I haven't written any code that tells the SCM how to start/stop it. Is there a *simple* way of doing this? Keep in mind I already have a main(), and, if at all possible would like to keep everything the way it is so it's easy to switch between windows and Linux (in other words, I don't mind adding to main, but I'd like to not completly remove it and replace it with a DWORD WINAPI main). FYI: my main:
so "oldMain" is what would actually be called by something that wants to start this service (if you need to specify a function). Also, The way this thing is designed is that it just sits there and "non-blockingly" waits - forever. It doesn't need to be restarted every so often (which is something that stumped me about some of the examples I came across online).Code:int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, "c:l: p:vhirs")) != EOF){ switch (c) { // bunch of switch stuff for command line arguments } } if (ioption) { // windows install InstallService(license_file, log_file); return 0; } #ifndef WIN32 init_daemon(); // set this up as a daemon #endif oldMain(port, license_file, log_file, verbose); // the actual stuff return (0); }
I can post my install/remove srevice code if it helps, but it seems those are pretty standard.

John Rogers was born March 1, 1928 and was the son of Herbert Lowima and Eva May Rogers. He grew up on farms near Dove Creek, CO.
Most of his adult life, he was involved in logging and trucking in the Four Corners area. He hauled produce, uranium, crude oil and petroleum products. He lived in the Casa Grande, AZ area for the last 21 years, where he was involved in a family rental real estate business. He had developed a broad range of home repair and mechanical skills and was a ready source of experience for anyone that needed help.
He spent much of the last two years caring for his wife, Edna, who had Parkinson's disease.
Edna Mae Black Rogers was born March 19, 1934 in Moab, UT and was the daughter of Thell Vivian and Fern Elizabeth Black. She married John Rogers in 1953.
Edna had a deep abiding faith in her Savior and daily expressed gratitude for her many blessings.
She wrote in her journal, "We have so many blessings to be grateful for. I'm so grateful for my family."
She loved gardening and always had lovely flower and vegetable gardens.
Edna loved her husband and her family. Many times in their married life, John would be gone from home for several days.
Her journal entries reflected the gratitude she felt when he was with her as in the following entry, "It was so good to have Johnny come home tonight."
Edna was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she served in many callings. She developed many close friendships with those she worked with and served. She was active with her family and her community until Parkinson's Disease decreased her abilities.
Edna passed away on January 18, 2012 and was followed by John, on February 18, 2012.
Edna is survived by her brother Kennard (Jean) Black and her sister Karen (Larry) Gray.
John is survived by his brother Bill (Lou) Rogers of Dove Creek, CO and sisters Bessie Jordan of Chapel Hill, NC, and Pat (James) Henderson of Grand Junction, CO.
They are both survived by their son, Kelly (Debbie) Rogers; daughters Betty Vowles and Brenda (Bill) Swadley, ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Their family would like to thank those who served them during their last years of life.
A Memorial Service was held in Casa Grande, AZ for Edna on Saturday, January 21, 2012 and for John on February 25, 2012.

text: The feet are one of the most beautiful parts of any woman and care should be taken to protect them at all times as they tend to be an appealing factor. However, this also involves some common foot problems which must be dealt with rightly. According to a report, millions of women across the world suffer from foot problems and here is a look at some of them and how to deal with it. The most common problem is Corns and Calluses. They are caused by ill-fitting shoes and affect the bony areas of the feet. To prevent it, you must avoid shoes which are too tight or have high heels. If you have hardened skin you must remove it using a pumice stone. If the corn is painful then you got to see a chiropodist. You can also go for orthotic insoles to correct any imbalance. Bunions are another problem which are painful bony swellings caused at the base of big toe. The best way to deal with it would be by buying pads which ease pressure on the big toe joint. Even orthotic insoles are useful. If the problem is severe, you could go in for a surgery and remove the swollen feet. Avoid heels which are higher than two inches for long periods. Verrucas are another issue. They are warts which are caused by viral infection found between soles of the feet or between toes. If this gets large then visit a chiropodist. Alternatively, you can wear flip-flops when you are in water since virus thrives in communal showers and swimming pools. The athlete foot is also another issue which can be prevented by changing socks or tights daily.

Some more food for thought. I just submitted the lesson on drawing food in the form of a hamburger, fries, and drink. I will now show all that requested, "how to draw fruit for kids", step by step. Some of you may think that this is a boring tutorial, but I have been asked multiple times to make a lesson on some food, fruit, and even clothes that is easy enough for kids to recreate. Almost everyone knows that you can not become a member on Dragoart unless you are at least thirteen years old, but that doesn't stop the younger crowd from coming to visit us anyway. I want to make sure that everyone has something they like to draw. So here is the simple task of drawing fruit in a for kids manner. I've included an apple, banana, orange, and grapes. Overall the tut is simple which means making your own fruit will be a breeze. I have to jump out of the punch bowl because there is still a few more tuts to upload. Have fun and make sure to upload your finished works.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

CMS and CT Colonography: What's the Beef About?
Last week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that they are not likely to cover virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography or CTC) for colorectal cancer screening in Medicare beneficiaries. The announcement came just months after the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force declined to recommend the test, citing insufficient evidence. Not surprisingly, the radiology […]

This is Hibari Kyoya from the manga & anime tv series, "Reborn." I didn't want to wear everybody out by drawing Usui over and over again so I looked for a dark-haired cute anime boy and fell in love with the reference pic that this is made from. I worked hard on this digital and I'm pleasantly satisfied with how it came out. My tutorial will lightly touch on anime proportions, hair, and some facial feature sketches. Let me know what you all think of this tut by commenting, faving or clicking on "Love It"! And thank you so much for supporting my previous anime tuts! Peace n love to ya!

The first proposal for
a manned station occurred in 1869, when an American novelist told
the story of how a "Brick Moon" came to orbit Earth to help ships
navigate at sea. In 1923, Romanian Hermann Oberth was the first
to use the term "space station" to describe a wheel-like facility
that would serve as the jumping off place for human journeys to
the moon and Mars. In 1952, Dr. Werner von Braun published his concept
of a space station in Collier's magazine. He envisioned a space
station that would have a diameter of 250 feet, orbit more than
1,000 miles above the Earth, and spin to provide artificial gravity
through centrifugal force.
The Soviet Union launched
the world's first space station, Salyut 1, in 1971 - a decade after
launching the first human into space. The United States sent its
first space station, the larger Skylab, into orbit in 1973 and it
hosted three crews before it was abandoned in 1974. Russia continued
to focus on long-duration space missions and in 1986 launched the
first modules of the Mir space station.
In 1998, the
first two modules of the International Space Station were launched
and joined together in orbit. Other modules soon followed and the
first crew arrived in 2000.
from left to right: The Zarya Control Module prior to the docking
of Space Shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-88; Zarya is attached
to the Unity Node; the Zvezda Service Module as seen during STS-106;
during STS-92, the Z1 Truss was attached to the station; the station's
solar arrays were installed on STS-97; the U.S. Destiny Laboratory
was installed on mission STS-98.

As proud as I am of my Irish heritage, I will admit that we believe in some pretty goofy shit.
We are fishermen from way back and believe in any number of aquatic phantasms–nymphs, Jenny-Linds, Selkies, sea serpents and many other manifestations of floating apparitions.
Mermaids are the killers though. They are beautiful and imperiled, and many a Mick dipshit has dove overboard to "save" one clinging to a rock only to find that by the time he gets to her after fighting off a rolling sea.she actually looks like Don Knotts with tits.
I decided to make a Chicago Mermaid, a blues girl. Who wouldn't do you like that. Who wouldn't hide her beauty. No. . .she would save you with the blues in shades of blue and green and velvety black.
This one too, is for my pal and fellow Mick, John Manion.

Use of Cookies and other Web Technologies 2 Cisco Online Privacy Statement Appendix D DIR-TSO-2612 Like many websites, Cisco uses automatic data collection tools, such as cookies, embedded web links and web beacons. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and the address of the website from which you arrived at our website. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer, which is a unique address assigned to your PC by your Internet Service Provider or Information Systems Department on a TCP/IP network) and clickstream behavior (for example, the pages you view and the links you click). These tools help make your visit to our website easier, more efficient and more valuable by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing you when you return. To learn more, read Cisco's Use of Automatic Data Collection Tools. Our website includes widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on our site to provide specific services from another company (e.g. displaying the news, opinions, music, etc). Personal information, such as your email address, may be collected through the widget. Cookies may also be set by the widget to enable it to function properly. Information collected by this widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it. Our widget may have an import contacts feature to help you email your contacts. At your request, we will search your email address book to help you import your contacts to our website. Some web browsers may let you enable a "do not track" feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a "do not track" feature enabled may still accept cookies. There is currently no industry standard for how companies should respond to "do not track" signals, although one may develop in the future. We do not respond to "do not track" signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will describe how in this Privacy Statement. More information about "do not track" is available at www.allaboutdnt.org. Linked Websites We may provide links to other third-party websites and services which are outside our control and not covered by this Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy statements posted on those websites (and all websites) you visit. Forums/Chat Rooms If you participate in a discussion forum or chat room on a Cisco website, you should be aware that the information you provide there will be made broadly available to others, and can be read, collected or used by other users of these forums, potentially inside or outside Cisco, who have access to that discussion forum or chat room. This information could also be used to send you unsolicited messages. Also, please recognize that individual forums and chat rooms may have additional rules and conditions. Each participant's opinion on a forum or chat room is his or her own and should not be considered as reflecting the opinion of Cisco. We are not responsible for the Personal Information or any other information you choose to submit in these forums. Children's Privacy Cisco does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information of a child under the age of 13, we will delete that data from our systems. Please note that the Personal Information collected by Cisco Networking Academy (NetAcad) is subject to the privacy statement posted on the NetAcad websites along with any applicable privacy supplement. Cisco encourages parents and guardians to go online with their children. Here are a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer: Teach children never to give Personal Information (such as name, address, phone number, school, etc.) unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Know the sites your children are visiting and which sites are appropriate. Look for website privacy policies and know how your child's information is treated. For more tips on protecting children's privacy online, please see Cisco's Online Privacy Portal here or FTC's website here. Consent to Transfer, Processing and Storage of Personal Information As Cisco is a global organization, we may transfer your Personal Information to Cisco in the United States of America, to any Cisco subsidiary worldwide, or to third parties acting on our behalf, for the purposes of processing or storage. By providing any Personal Information to us, you fully understand and unambiguously consent to the transfer, processing and storage of such information outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different. Our Privacy Statement and our practices are designed to provide a globally consistent level of protection for Personal Information all over the world. This means that even in countries whose laws provide for less protection for your information, Cisco will still handle your information in the manner described here.

Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an Opt-out or Opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options. Cisco qualifies for the alternative option. We have a comprehensive privacy statement, and provide you with details on how you may either Opt-out or Optin to the use of your Personal Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your Personal Information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.

(Death-Doomsday-The Hereafter and the Portents of the End Times, Imam Sharani - Al-Qurtubi, Bedir Publishing, Istanbul 1981 p. 461; no. 845)
Amr ibn Nufayl says: I heard the Imam Hussein (as) say: "The one you await (the Mahdi) will not appear until you say you are distanced from one another, until you spit in one another's faces and accuse one another of denial and until you curse one another." I asked, 'Then there is nothing auspicious at that time?' He replied: "All the auspiciousness is in that period. Our Qaim (The Mahdi) will appear and put an end to all that."
Umayra, daughter of Nufayl, relates: "I heard the daughter of Hasan say: "This matter you expect (the coming of Hazrat Mahdi [as]) will not happen until SOME OF YOU STAND FAR APART FROM OTHERS AND CURSE EACH OTHER.
(Bihar Al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 211)

Occupy Cal Shoot Re-Sprouts on Sproul
Is "OccupyCal" sprouting anew? The Fall encampment on the Savio Steps in front of Sproul Hall was quietly cleared by the University in mid-December, as Finals approached. There was little press attention, save a short Daily Cal article, in contrast to the much-publicized and Sturm und Drang evictions of Occupy encampments in Oakland, San Francisco, and Downtown Berkeley. -more-

In recognition of just how damn great they were, BioWare and EA have struck a deal that's transformed Indonesian artist machine56's Mass Effect t-shirt designs into actual, official merchandise.
Three of his Cerberus-inspired designs are now available on the company's store, along with a bunch of other stuff that's either new or is coming very soon, like fancy prints, leather jackets (?!) and, in a further example of fan-based commercialisation, official versions of these awesome plushies from 2010.
It's not the first time the company has plucked fan creations off the internet and sent it to the legal team: the company is also working on turning a series of hoodie designs released earlier this year into official merch as well.
You can see pics of the new/upcoming stuff below.

Watch out, Pinterest. Facebook is testing a new feature called Collections, which is set up to enable businesses to showcase and sell their products.
Pottery Barn is one of the businesses participating in Facebook's test of a new Collections tool.
The new tool includes three actions -- want, like and collect. The Collections, which can be seen in Facebook's News Feed, are set up so users can check out the collections and share things that interest them with their friends, according to Gwendolyn Belomy, a Facebook spokeswoman.
The tool also is designed to let users click through and buy items in the collections on the retailers' Web sites.
"We've seen that businesses often use Pages to share information about their products through photo albums," said Belomy. "Yesterday, we began a small test in which a few select businesses will be able to share information about their products through a feature called Collections."
Facebook appears to be taking a page from Pinterest's playbook.
Pinterest, a social pinboard site, has gained momentum in the social networking world. Its users, especially women, have flocked to the site to use what basically is a shareable scrapbook. Users are able to create different pages of interest by pulling in images from around the Web.
If someone spots an image - of a cute puppy, shoes, an inspiring quote or an interesting recipe - she can use a plug-in to grab it and add it to her board. Then people who follow that person can see her pinboards, repin their favorite images and comment on them.
" Facebook is definitely making a move toward Pinterest, while also finding a way to engage more businesses," said Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group. "To me, they're looking to take some of the Pinterest mojo and see if they can mold it into something that will result in more business-friendly activity and get them more advertising dollars."
Olds said Facebook may have two motives. "The first, and most important, is to show business users that Facebook is a valuable resource and their best value in online advertising. Facebook also would like to blunt Pinterest's growth before it becomes a real challenge to Facebook's business community ambitions."
One of the first things Facebook did with this test was to pull in businesses to help them gauge its effectiveness.
Facebook did not specify how many users are involved in the test, or how long it will run. However, Belomy noted that retailers including Pottery Barn, Wayfair.com, Victoria's Secret, Michael Kors, Neiman Marcus, Smith Optics and Fab.com are participating.
As part of the test, users will be able to "like," "collect" or "want" the products in the collections. If they use one of these buttons, the information will appear on their Timeline and can be made available to their friends.
Images within the collections, according to Belomy, also will have a "Buy" button that will send them to the business' Web site to purchase the product.

NEW YORK: Several communications staffers at Pfizer will exit the company in coming weeks as part of a restructuring effort. Ray Kerins, VP of external affairs and worldwide communications, will leave Pfizer this summer.
The company will merge Kerins' external communications unit and the business communications team run by Mary Lou Ambrus, SVP of communications. Ambrus will lead the newly combined practice and report to Sally Susman, EVP of policy, external affairs, and communications at Pfizer, according to a source close to the matter.
"As a world-class, global organization, we are dedicated to ensuing that our structure supports and advances the important businesses we service and this restructuring does exactly that," Susman said in an emailed statement. Pfizer lost patent exclusivity for cholesterol drug Lipitor last November.
Kerins will stay on until June to support the company through the restructuring, Susman said, adding that she is "grateful to him for all his contributions to Pfizer, including the establishment of a truly high-performing media-relations team and social and digital team."
Kerins said the split was amicable.
"I have nothing but praise and admiration for Pfizer, which plays such an important role in society," he said. "I am extremely proud to have dedicated the last five years to Pfizer, developing innovative strategies to address some of the most challenging issues. I believe Pfizer is well positioned for the future."
Kerins was named PR Professional of the Year at the 2010 PRWeek Awards.Kristen Neese, senior director of external affairs at Pfizer, is expected to depart the company, a source close to the situation said, as is Peter O'Toole, VP of communications in Washington. Chris Loder, senior director of worldwide communications, will stay with Pfizer, the source said.
Neese could not be immediately reached for comment.
The restructuring will occur as the pharmaceutical company reviews its relationships with its supporting agencies, including Ketchum and Edelman. It also recently released an RFP for its animal health division in an effort to promote the business as it seeks buyers, a source said.
The restructuring was in the works for months. The departures will occur as the drug company prepares to launch a campaign this summer to get consumers to embrace the idea of aging. After a search, SS&K won the account to work on that effort, according to a source close to the search.
SS&K did not immediately return a request seeking comment.
In an earlier restructuring of Pfizer's communications team, it reduced the number of executives who report to Susman from 10 to seven.

Advanced Practice Clinicians: NPs and PAs
Advanced Practice Clinicians (APCs) are an integral part of our care teams. APCs consist of physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs). Both PAs and NPs provide high-quality primary and specialty care for our patients. Similar to physicians, APCs require advanced training and education beyond their initial medical training. Our APCs are focused on health promotion, disease prevention and health education to guide patients to make smarter health and lifestyle choices.
What is the difference between a physician assistant (PA) and a nurse practitioner (NP)?
The most significant difference between a PA and a NP is in their educational preparation. A PA attends an intense, three-year graduate-level program with many of the same courses taken by physicians, and receives a master's degree.
A NP is a registered nurse who attends graduate-level, advanced clinical training beyond their initial professional registered nurse preparation. NPs either have a master's or doctoral degree.
Are PAs and NPs board-certified?
PAs and NPs practice under the rules and regulations of the state and are board-certified licensed healthcare professionals. PAs are board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. NPs are certified through one or more certifying bodies, including the American Association of Nurse Practitioners or the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Both PAs and NPs must participate in ongoing continuing education, maintain a minimum number of hours in clinical practice and re-certify on a regular basis. (PAs every 10 years and NPs every 5 years).
What level of care can an APC provide for a patient?
Both PAs and NPs may examine, diagnose, treat and manage acute and chronic illness, order and interpret tests and prescribe medications. They work in collaboration with physicians to provide a variety of services to our patients, including patient-centered care with a focus on health promotion, disease prevention, health education and counseling.
Would there ever be a situation where I may see an APC for ongoing care instead of a physician?
A patient may be seen by an APC for follow-up care after surgery or a procedure. The patient's physician will continue to be involved in their overall care, but an APC may be the patient's primary provider for follow-up monitoring and treatment. All PAs and NPs work under the supervision of a physician and collaborate with them on patient cases to ensure that comprehensive and personalized care is provided to all patients.
Can an APC serve as my primary care provider?
Yes! APCs provide quality primary and specialty care services similar to those of a physician. Both PAs and NPs can diagnose, treat and prescribe for acute and chronic health problems such as diabetes, hypertension and asthma, and are prepared to deliver primary care with a focus on disease prevention and health promotion. Also, with increasing demands upon our physicians to provide complex and advanced medical and surgical care, you may find that a PA or NP is able to see you more quickly.

Mecca goes upmarket but commercialism unnerves some Saudis
Sitting in the marble lobby of a luxury hotel in Mecca, Moroccan bank director Mohammad Hamdosh gets a breather from the cacophony of pilgrims bustling around the Grand Mosque in Islam's holiest city. Millions have flocked to the city in Saudi Arabia for the annual haj pilgrimage, a duty for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. But some can afford more than others, and a controversial construction boom is catering to their needs.
"Every pilgrim comes according to his means. God gave me money, so why shouldn't I stay in this hotel?" says Hamdosh, on a trip that has cost him 12,000 Euros ($16,545). "Haj is tiring so it's good to have a room to rest."
(Photo: The Kabaa andt the Grand Mosque dwarfed by luxury high-rise hotels, 12 Aug 2010/Hassan Ali)
Inside the mosque, all pilgrims are equal as they circle the black stone known as the Kaaba toward which Muslims around the world turn in prayer every day. But outside an array of towering five-star hotels have sprung up where the wealthy can bask in a 24-hour view of the Kaaba. The high-rises dwarf the mosque and the surrounding town, nestled in the mountains in the hinterland of the port city Jeddah.
It is part of a wider project to expand the mosque and bring more Muslims to the holy city for salvation, according to the writs of Islam — something Saudi Arabia sees as its duty.
Mecca has just inaugurated the world's largest clockface perched Big Ben-style on the front of a high-rise hotel facing the Kaaba, while some 20 cranes next to the mosque herald more luxury accommodation. The spending spree in Mecca and the second holy city Medina is valued at some $120 billion over the next decade and at present there are $20 billion of projects underway in Mecca alone, according to Banque Saudi Fransi. A square meter land in Mecca costs some 50,000 riyals ($13,333).

I was reading 'Argumentative Indian' by Noble Laureate Amartya Sen. It's a good book and brings new perspectives to Indian history. I really like his theories and interpretations of our history- that we are tolerant, that we are able to imbibe democracy and promote diversity because we have this 'argumentative' streak in us.
I have only one problem though – that Amartya Sen is Bengali. In my experience, a Bengali looks at every thing from a 'Bengali Prism'. To him/her everything gets distorted to give a Bengali twist. They believe that the God is Bengali.
In this book, he quotes and refers to Rabindranath Tagore profusely, almost every other page – to the point of causing nausea to the reader. Whom would you quote when talking about tolerance, working for gender equality, bringing lower caste into manifold, preaching peace, etc? One has many examples in the contemporary Indian history- notable being Mahatma Gandhi. But for Amartya Sen it's only Rabindranath Tagore and no one else. We all agree that Tagore was a great poet and author of notable works, a strong proponent of peace, and visionary who conveyed it through his words. On the other hand, Mahatma Gandhi was an activist, the person who actually put in action many of the principles and ideals that Rabindranath Tagore preached. When Sen wanted to give examples on how
He might as well have named the book "Argumentative Bengali" because all the examples he quotes are Bengalis as if there is no other Indian who could set an example for him. Ghosh, and other Bengali authors feature incessantly in his book as if the whole Indian history was constructed, influenced and delivered by Bengalis. How about I compile an Indian history where the only characters and examples are that of a Tamil King and Tamil Author and no one else?
My annoyance peaked when I saw a quote from another Bengali writer to illustrate why the nuclear bomb is bad. While talking of ill-effects of atom bomb, I would expect one to describe Hiroshima/Nagasaki or Chernobyl or may be radiation effects on Bikini Islands, but definitely not Arundhati Roy's poetic description where rivers dry up, and how sun dances on earth. I have one message to all Bengali writers- "Come on, get out of your self-delusional world!" Times have changed. Great men and women come from different parts of
Apart from being a delusional Bengali, Amartya Sen is also a very 'academic' writer, which makes it worse. He repeats himself throughout the book. The same examples are quoted in more than one place. It is full of references within the same book like – As I described in the Chapter 1, Section 4, this will be discussed in Chapter 7, Paragraph 2, etc, as if it were some IEEE transaction or an academic publication. He doesn't have many facts to corroborate his story either. His conclusion that Sanskrit has influenced Chinese languages is supported with one and only one example which is repeated again and again- that the word 'Mandarin' in Chinese is actually 'Mantri' in Sanskrit. Quoting one example to construct a theory does not make sense. One has to talk about more examples involving influence of syntax, grammar, and semantics, to say that these two languages have a relationship.
In summary, he makes an excellent point in the first chapter and describes all the examples in there. Rest of the book contains the same message repeated in many roundabout ways without giving any new insights. According to me, one could read just the first chapter and get the whole story in entirety. You may not want to read further unless you are a Bengali. :)
