Ghostly greetings
Today I made a card for the "mostly black & white" challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie. When I saw what the challenge was, right away my mind went to the Horace and Hattie ghosts... talk about the perfect stamps for this color scheme! When I stamped them up I wanted them to overlap a bit and decided not to mask off so that the parts of them that did overlap would hopefully read as being transparent when I colored them. Oh, and I also altered both of them just a bit by wiping away the bags underneath their eyes before stamping... I just liked them to be a bit more fresh faced looking even if they are a couple of spooks from beyond the grave. ;)
Even though the challenge could have one color besides the black & white, for the most part I stuck with different shades of greys for the entire scene. The warm greys were used on Horace and Hattie themselves and then the cool greys for contrast in the background. I think as a whole this monochromatic look makes for a fun and a bit different kind of Halloween card.
Alrighty, time for me to get ready for work. See y'all tomorrow. :)

They definitely look transparent, you did a great job with that! I love this card. Your black and white coloring is amazing. That is one technique that I really want to be able to achieve, as well as a monochromatic sepia color scheme. I just need to practice, practice, practice!

#1 Marianne Williamson is running for Congress10-28-2013, 11:39 AM
She's running for Waxman's seat, as an independent.
I find this scary-her blissed-out followers are very supportive, and don't like to see their high priestess insulted. I made a negative comment about her on DU regarding her endorsement of a congressional candidate in Michigan and one of her fans was not pleased (I stated that the candidate shouldn't hang out so much with such an ethically challenged woman). One of her fanatic followers jumped on me for implying that Marianne has questionable ethics.
She'll have Oprah's support. She'll probably have the support of Steven Tyler, too, but Joe Perry will make fun of him for it.
I have not heard of this woman, but if moonbats defend her vociferously, then it's obvious she'll be no good for that state.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.
She openly campaigned for Dennis Kucinich from the pulpit. She's the one who came up with the "Department of Peace" idea. One Sunday, after attending an Aerosmith concert and convincing Tyler to sing with the choir, she appeared to be experiencing afterglow from the night before, as she was gushing all over him, as if he wasn't a walking STD.
People kiss her butt, though, because she's famous. A lot of the congregants only saw a certain side of her and worship her. Her teachings are not based on the Bible, but on A Course In Miracles, a new-age classic that teaches that humans are gods.
As pastor, she drew a 6 figure salary. In addition to her salary, the church generously paid her personal assistant's salary and benefits (who did not serve the church at all) and gave the same deal to the governoress for her then 13 year old daughter.
The Christmas after she stepped down as pastor, she was hired to do 3 services. At the last minute, she demanded more money and demanded that she not only choose the songs, but change the words of the songs at will. At that point, she had a speaker's contract to do one Sunday Service a month. The church responded to her demands by holding her to the terms of her contract for X-mas, and canceling her contract for monthly services (it was a month by month thing that either party could back out of). She then responded by having her followers stalk church attendees in the parking lot at the next Sunday service and hand them flyers to attend a meeting she was having at a local hotel, to explain her side of things.
On the up side for the GOP, she could steal enough moonbat votes from Waxman to give the GOP a chance at the seat. She definitely appeals to the peaceniks and hippies.
My joke about her is this: Anyone who thinks Oprah is the whore of Babylon hasn't met Marianne Williamson yet.
Sounds like your typical raving moonbat.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

Didn't she officiate at one of Liz Taylor's weddings?"Today, [the American voter] chooses his rulers as he buys bootleg whiskey, never knowing precisely what he is getting, only certain that it is not what it pretends to be." - H.L. Mencken
Probably. She likely got to know Liz through addiction recovery programs-Marianne does not have an addiction problem that I know of, but a lot of her focus is on people in recovery, as was the focus of my former church.
She is smart in the way that cult leaders are smart, and is able to manipulate people's emotions, but she is not an intellectual heavyweight. She misquoted the Bible all the time-the one instant I remember best is when she connected the verse "Jesus wept" with Jesus on the cross. Duh! "Jesus wept" comes from when he saw his friend Lazarus in his tomb.
I know I might sound kind of catty about her, but she really is trouble. Congress has enough egotistical idiots as it is, it doesn't need another one. It will be interesting to see who endorses her. I wonder if her friend Kucinich will endorse her over Waxman? Arianna Huffington will likely endorse her, Oprah is a given. I hope Bill Maher or Jon Stewart gets her on one of their shows and tears her apart in front of a mostly liberal audience, to make it very clear to the people of that district what she's about, which is, of course, promoting Marianne Williamson.
Well, she's prettier than Waxman, which is at least a slight improvement. No matter how you slice it though, wacko is wacko.

I remember her well, noonie. Her books were all over the place, especially at "new age" bookstores (very trendy in the 90s in LA), and she lectured at various spots. She's not exactly Guru Ma (remember her?) but she has her own special kind of danger.
I don't think she'll ever beat Waxman, but she might be a spoiler in the district if she can siphon enough votes away. The person she would be hurting is Waxman, which would be fine with me.
Given that, this is not a bad thing. She has the money to mount a serious challenge, and sending Waxman back to the private sector and forcing him to get a real job for a change when the job market is tanking due to the policies of his party is petic justice. She won't be as effective at advancing Democratic politics as Waxman is (Waxman is very effective at attacking during hearings), and while it would be great if she cost him so much in the primary that a Republican took the seat, that's unlikely, as that district entails most of the Hollywood crazies, but any money spent in an internal fight between two lunatic Democrats is money that won't be spent against Republicans.--Odysseus
Sic Hacer Pace, Para Bellum.
Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
When Marianne was pastor at Renaissance Unity, they sold ECP's books in the church bookstore. ECP was a conservative, politically, though, and Marianne is a liberal. Erin Prophet wrote a great book about her mother, a brutally honest account of her mother's ministry and her own role in CUT as the leader's daughter.
I would not say I know Marianne, because she wouldn't know me by name. When she was pastor, she was not approachable by the congregation except in the greeting line after services and when she was signing books-very brief encounters. The church has reinstated ties with her since I left a couple of years ago, so I'm glad I left when I did.

It turns out the announcement in Cupertino was not the iPhone 5, as generally believed, but a significant upgrade in features that Apple is releasing as iPhone 4S.
iPhone 4S offers the Siri voice-recognition app, which among the upgrades and other features, is the one designed to elicit all the oohs and ahs. While Apple describes it as your "intelligent assistant" that responds to your voice commands, my guess is it will disappoint those who expect a personal assistant to be able to fetch them a non-fat latte.
Siri facts in a nutshell:
- Allows you to set reminders and appointments via voice
- Able to to respond to and use more human-like, natural language
- Supports English, French and German to start, with more languages to be added later
Other talking points from the presentation:
- The 4S will be available on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint; pre-orders to begin Oct. 7 and launching on Oct. 14 (U.S., Canada, Australia, U.K., France, Germany, and Japan)
- Revamped camera: Now 8-megapixel, backside-illuminated CMOS sensor (3,264 x 2,448 resolution), 60 percent more pixels, and it snaps photos a third quicker than before
- The same processor as the iPad 2, a dual-core A5 chip
- Better battery life
Pricing options for the 4S:
- 16GB for $199
- 32GB for $299
- 64GB for $399
- The iPhone 4 moves to $99.
- The iPhone 3GS is now free.
So what do you think of today's announcement? Underwhelmed? Can't wait to tell your phone what to do?

text: Amongst the crowd Sunday at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia for the USC-Tennessee basketball game was Gaffney WR Shaq Davidson. Davidson was back in Columbia for the second straight weekend after attending the junior day the previous weekend. Davidson said he had minimal contact with the football coaches Sunday at the game but got plenty of football information on the prior visit. "I got to know the coaches better and they talked to my dad about school and other stuff," Davidson said. Davidson is scheduled to go to Georgia Saturday but if his basketball team wins Wednesday, he won't be able to make the visit. He's supposed to go to North Carolina the next weekend but again, that depends on his basketball schedule. And he plans to attend Clemson's next junior day March 2nd. Davidson said at this point USC remains the leader. "USC is up top right now with Georgia, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Ohio State," he said. "They make me feel at home when I'm there and I like the coaching staff and atmosphere. And they have nice facilities." Davidson wants to trim his list to five by the start of football season.

"Theme development is a tedious and difficult task, and for the GTK devs to be so careless in breaking their API at every turn disrespects the many hours people put into making themes for it. [...] I was given to believe that this breakage stems from a Microsoft-like climate of preventing users from customizing their systems, and deliberately breaking the work of others so that your 'brand' is the best. Anytime I hear the word 'brand' being used in Linux, I know something valuable is being poisoned." I find the tone of this one a bit too harsh and overly negative at times, but his point still stands.

"harsh and overly negative at times"
by l3v1 on Fri 9th Nov 2012 07:13 UTC
Harsh is good, if it's true. And it is. About themes, about customization options, about nautilus, about api, branding trials, it's all there and all who use some of the mainstream Linux distros these days come across these issues at one point. For knowledgeable users most of these issues can be resolved, one way or another, with time spent, but for others they just might break the deal. And I don't think it's overly negative, it's just seems to come from someone really frustrated (which I can understand and relate to).

The Oklahoma women's gymnastics team relives the drama, emotion and magic of its first national championship in April.
The Sooners recorded the highest score ever at an NCAA Championships, with a 198.175.
Senior Taylor Spears capped her career with a team national title and an individual crown on the beam. She is one of 41 All-Americans coached by KJ Kindler at Oklahoma since 2010.
KJ Kindler moved from friends, family, and the life she had known to pursue one thing: a national title. By putting student-athletes first, she achieved that dream.

Tips to maximize boiler efficiency
Tips for maximizing boiler efficiency:
1. Proper water chemistry.
2. Minimizing water loss in the system due to leaks.
3. Proper control of boiler blow-down. Blow-down should be based on conductivity of water in the boiler to maintain a reasonable range of total dissolved solids.
4. Adequate insulation of all steam and condensate piping and traps.
5. Operating the steam system at the lowest possible pressure. Consider vacuum condensate return systems to allow reduced steam operating pressures.
6. Proper and timely maintenance of all steam condensate traps.
7. Use low-pressure steam (less than 15 psig) at all heating terminals to use the maximum heat of vaporization with the highest degree of controllability.
8. Use boiler stack energy recovery units to preheat condensate and makeup water.

Entrepreneur Mark Cuban once noted that "The number-one job of the hedge-fund manager is not to make sure that you can retire with a smile on your face, it's for him to retire with a smile on his face."
So you can imagine that everyone who made the Hedge Fund Hall of Fame when it opened in 2008 was all smiles — these were fabulously wealthy money managers who, in some cases, had become household names.
But the funny thing about the Hedge Fun Hall of Fame — which was not an actual place but an online collection put together by Institutional Investor's Alpha — is that once the smiles faded, so did the idea. After the original 14 members of the Hall, no one else was inducted.
That changes this year, as Institutional Investor's Alpha is picking up the ball with a new list of successful hedgies to fete and celebrate.
But in re-launching the Hedge Fund Hall of Fame, the magazine and web site also took a look back at the original 14 inductees, and as I wandered the online halls looking at the pieces that the publication did on the famous money managers upon induction, I tried to come up with the lessons that these fabulously successful investors lived by that could apply to ordinary investors, and that might leave the regular guy with a smile on his face at the end of an investing lifetime.
Since you're probably never going to roam the proverbial halls of the Hedge Fund Hall of Fame, let me be your tour guide. Here are a few lessons that ordinary investors can take from the hedge-fund greats:
* A few years back, I heard David Swensen, chief investment officer at Yale University, say that ordinary people shouldn't attempt to invest as he does, but his success is based in large part "on the ability to pursue an intellectual strategy and stick with it," and his strategy tends to be indifferent to the market.
While indifference is normally a bad thing, from an investment standpoint it means trying to make money regardless of the direction of the market, and that requires taking steps to run a portfolio that can adjust to market conditions, rather than having a portfolio that you simply hope will manage to bring home the bacon every year, even if it is ill-suited to current conditions.
* Market indifference also applied to the late Alfred Winslow Jones — considered by most to be the originator or inventor of the modern hedge fund — but for different reasons.
Jones believed that you did not need a traditional allocation to stocks, bonds and cash, and that you should hang in with the stock market in virtually all conditions, provided that you were properly hedged.
That said, he felt that most money managers were not properly hedged. For ordinary investors, however, the lesson from Jones comes by flipping the message; if overweighting to equities in all conditions is right only with proper hedging — something the average guy really doesn't know how to do — then a diversified portfolio is a must, because the risk of being all-equity, all-the-time eventually is going to hit home without appropriate protection.
* Julian Robertson, by comparison, noted that "The basic ingredient for successful investing" is a "pretty good feel of risk versus reward." What's interesting about that feel, as it pertains to Robertson — now retired from Tiger Management Corp. — is that the more he got the risk-reward balance right, the more his strategy changed to where he took risks he felt properly compensated to accept; too many investors fail to consider their return relative to the dangers they face in an effort to earn it.
* Seth Klarman, founder of the Baupost Group, said that the secret to his success was the ability to answer the question "What's your edge?"
"The market's very competitive; there are a lot of smart, talented people, a lot of money-chasing opportunity," Klarman said in 2008. "If you don't have an edge and can't articulate it, you probably aren't going to outperform."
That applies to small investors as well; plenty of people think they are good investors, but their portfolios show that they are better off in index funds than in trying to fight to beat the market. If you can't determine your edge, maybe you don't have one, and should invest like it.
* Michael Steinhardt of Steinhardt Partners noted that "today's managers are more interested in relative performance. When I was investing, I measured it only one way — raw performance."
In the modern world of mutual funds, too, money managers and many investors are caught up more in how a fund did relative to its peers than whether it really did well. The top funds in the financial crisis of 2008, for example, still lost a fortune, they just didn't do as badly as their peers.
While that's important in choosing an all-weather fund, you can't eat relative performance; if your diversified portfolio includes a lot of "good losers," it may be time to change your focus.

The Excercise Thread
Posted 13 May 2006 - 10:35 PM
Hmn...what an issue for me.
I have thyroid disease, so I've been battling weight issues for the last ten years. I had an overactive thyroid, they did the radiation thing, overdosed me, and now it's severely underactive.....no, scrap that, it's dead. I have no normal metabolic function of my own at all, just to keep any sort of metabolic function at all, I'm on 16 times the normal dose of thyroid hormone because I've developed THR (Thyroid hormone resistance). This is so bad that my body keeps all metabolic function to keep my heart, brain, lungs, liver, kidneys etc going. That's been worse the last four months, and recently, I've been told, even at 30 years, I have premature ovarian failure, because my bod just doesn't have the metabolic function required to keep non essential organs going. Great, I'm menopausing, I'm 30, and I'm turning into a man. Jokes aside, this is serious stuff. If my body becomes more resistant to the hormone, I will die. I had a bit of a rough time a little while ago, dealing with my own mortality and what not.
And then I decided enough was enough.
Recently, I saw a dietician, because I am SICK and TIRED of battling. And she told me that starving myself is BAD. Yes, dear, I knew this. But even if I looked at a lettuce leaf, I'd pick up weight. So I developed this evil fear of food in any form. She reckons that my body was so starved, and having no metabolic function at all (seriously), that it conserved everything that went into my mouth.
And theoretically, metabolism is like lighting a fire. Once it's lit, you need to keep chucking twigs onto it to keep it burning.
So now...she's attempting to teach me NOT to be scared of food.
She's making me eat 5 times a day...which is a disgusting amount of food to me. But I'm trying. Basically I've had anorexia, minus the weight loss because of the metabolism. Food is terrifying.
The professor of endocrinology looking after me, told me the weight wouldn't come off and that I was setting myself and the dietician up for a fall.
So anyway...don't challenge the stormwitch. (not when he looks like a bald qtip slash pencil himself). So 6 weeks ago I started this 'eating plan' where I had to unlearn everything and just start eating. Good food...but the 5 times a day. Hard to do, when you've been starving yourself for ten years with no results.
I've done the normal exercise like walking, I tried Taebo, tried everything, and I've been friends with every single diet product on the market. which only made me sick and the weight still stayed.
A few days ago, people started saying things like....you're looking smaller....are you sick??? I'm like...."what???"
Anyhoo....I don't see any body change. But the comments are encouraging. l went a bit mad yesterday and got sorted. New yoga blocks and mat, a trampoline, and an ab king pro.
This is my new mission. I'm going to try again.
Even if nothing does happen weight wise, I'm feeling better.
I'm still struggling to eat five times a day, but I'm getting there.
My boss at work has been awesome. "It's time to eat!" she yells, every three hours. I've been on vacation though for two weeks, so I have to set my alarm to go off every few hours.
I'm still trying to teach myself that food is a good thing.
My goal is to at least attempt to look good by October.
Wish me luck.

Good on ya' C.V. ! Sometimes it takes agreat deal to get it, eh?
I feel off of a roof onto the pavement head first 20 months ago and It's funny to say it but my life is finally my own because of all the things I had to deal with after the fall, the biggest one being learning to take care of myself first instead of everone else. Only took me 41 years to learn that one!
I do yoga to keep in shape and walk my midget dogs...

The passion two Swiss Kiwanians share for classic cars has been harnessed to fundraise thousands of dollars for children in the African nation of Zimbabwe.
The members' leadership allowed the Kiwanis Club of Weinfelden, Switzerland, to create and host one of the largest car shows in eastern Switzerland. Hosted first in 2009, then 2011, the second biennial Charity Classic showcased more than 60 vehicles on a parade through the canton of Thurgau.
Motivated by a presentation to the club about the work that Dr. Christian Seelhofer and his wife were doing in a bush hospital in the African nation of Zimbabwe, the Kiwanians went to work. Well received by the community, the first two car shows raised a combined total of 50,000 CHF. The initial funds allowed for the completion of an orphanage for abandoned children, which opened in 2009. The second half of this total has been dedicated to the children's education through the establishment and renovation of three schools. As a token of gratitude, plaques proudly displaying the Kiwanis club's name have been displayed in the buildings.
"Mr. and Mrs. Seelhofer initiated the projects and organized and coordinated the implementation on site," explains club member Christoph Lanter. "Therefore it was possible to maximize the effect of the available resources."
Recent reports from Zimbabwe indicate that the projects—most of which are low cost and have been implemented through involving the community—are anticipated to be long-lasting. Keen to continue their partnership, the Kiwanis club has already slated the 2013 car show's profits toward the construction of a preschool with a playground in the Charamba/Simbabwe area. There should be enough monies left to purchase medical aids, such as prostheses, glasses and hearing aids for children with disabilities who are patients at the Seelhofer's clinic in Silveira. –Courtney Meyer
Additional information and pictures associated with the event are available at www.charity-classic.ch.

Ben Dutka: "In that Beyond Good & Evil 2 teaser trailer we saw a long ways back, the characters were just sort of sitting around. ...now we know why."
I've absolutely had it with Ubi. How many more Assassin's Creed games will we see this generation? Is it really not possible to get this title out the door before this generation's lifecycle is over? I'm just disgusted by this.
so then its coming out on the Wii U? that is going to be the first console of the next gen coming out and the way ubisoft is all over the thing it probably can and will happen
but at this point everything i hear about the game is pretty much BS would it really take this long?
Personally I think this is a good thing. Ancel was saying that he COULD make it this gen but doing so he would have to cut alot of ideas and content and that would be bad.
That was what made the first game so good. It was such a breath of fresh air at the time and very few games have come close.
If Ancel needs to wait until the next gen to be able to make the 2nd game as good as it can possibly be I say more power to him. Alot of people may not like it but if it does the franchise justice why not?
Bad for me.. one of the reasons that I bought X360 was BG&E2 :/ I hope that they 'll release on current gen consoles..

James Holden in his lab. Photo Credit - Jim Gipe
For the first time in James Holden's 25-year career in deep-sea research, his research will not be funded by a government source. Instead, Holden will be funded by philanthropists committed to supporting oceanographic research. His new studies examine microbes living deep in the cracks and thermal vents around an undersea volcano.
Holden's philanthropists are committed to supporting oceanographic research. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation started by the co-founder of Intel and his wife, and the Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI), started by Eric Schmidt of Google and his wife, Wendy. The Moores' foundation is dedicated to advancing environmental conservation and scientific research, while the SOI supports oceanographic research projects that "help expand the understanding of the world's oceans through technological advancements, intelligent observation and analysis, and open sharing of information."

A quality education is all a parent would want for their child. The pursuit of this quality education can take one a long way. The good news for residents of the Marceline R-5 School District is that they can now get their quality education for children ages two and up at the new Marceline Early Learning Center.
A quality education is all a parent would want for their child. The pursuit of this quality education can take one a long way. The good news for residents of the Marceline R-5 School District is that they can now get their quality education for children ages two and up at the new Marceline Early Learning Center.
"The expansion of the Early Learning Center means that residents of Marceline and surrounding areas have the ability to have educational opportunities for their children beginning at the age of two," said Dawn Lichtenberg, Marceline R-5 Federal Program Director. "I believe there are many advantages to choosing the ELC. The teacher to student ratio is low, the curriculum is research-based and approved by DESE (Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education)."
The Marceline Early Learning Center began its life as Kinderland Preschool. A working relationship with the preschool and the school that neighbored it had always existed, but when Marceline R-5 sought a preschool addition, the logical choice was to acquire Kinderland.
"We are now comfortable that the mission is accomplished with the acquisition of the Marceline R-5 Early Learning Center," said Superintendent Gabe Edgar. "We have faced many challenges over the last six months, but as an administrative team and a School District we always believed it was best for kids!"
Edgar continued: "I first want to tell you that we believed Kinderland was doing and good job with their program, but we also believed we could help enhance from the curriculum and technology standpoint. I had three of my own kids go through Kinderland Preschool and they had wonderful experiences. We just thought we could reach out to a younger population and help improve the transition to Kindergarten. I want to thank Sarah Dunham and Sandy Hoskins for all of their input throughout the process. I want to thank the Kinderland board for their receptiveness to the idea and most of all I want to thank Dawn Lichtenberg for all of her dedication and buy-in. There has been times we talked and thought we were crazy for trying this new idea, but with the help of Dawn I feel things are going great and we have something in place that will enhance learning at a young age and we feel will be beneficial to our District for many years.With the permission of the Marceline R-5 Board of Education, Superintendent Edgar moved forward with the acquisition. The process began early in 2012, and was discussed at many school board meetings throughout the process."
In April of this year, Edgar estimated the cost to the District for operating Kinderland would be $180,000 per year, but that the fees associated with the facility should allow the District to break even. The R-5 District gained approximately $285,000 worth of assets in the acquisition.
"Multiple changes have been put into place," explained Litchtenberg. "First is the fact that a certified early childhood teacher, Beth Teeter, is in the building teaching daily. Mrs. Teeter also assists the other ladies with developing lesson plans that are appropriate for preschool children."
Litchtenberg continued: "Another change is the set daily schedule that focuses on learning. The teachers really enjoy the structure, and it is also beneficial for all of the children. Every staff member at the ELC is doing a wonderful job putting into place the new curriculum, the Positive Behavior Support System (rewarding students for their good behavior), and schedule."

We're here to help you explore your options and find the right school for your child. To get started with the school research process, check out the information below. You can learn more about how to choose a school and what the state report cards are.Imagining your ideal school »
Let others know what you think about your school
Oklahoma's A-F School Grading System is a way for parents and community members to quickly and easily determine how their schools are doing. All Oklahoma public schools are required to report standardized test scores to the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE). That information is used to calculate an overall letter grade from A to F for each school.
Each school's grade is based on two measures, each of which is worth half of the grade:
The A-F Report Card is not punitive. There are no penalties or loss of funding for schools that receive a low grade. The A-F rating system is an assessment tool that lets parents and communities know how local schools are performing.
In fact, the OSDE provides various supports to schools that receive low grades. The Office of School Support offers many professional development opportunities and other resources to encourage school improvement. The OSDE also offers grants to high-performing schools if they use some of the grant money to partner with low-performing schools to boost student achievement.

NEW YORK The NFL has told its officiating crews to start ejecting players for flagrant helmet-to-helmet hits.
The new policy was outlined Saturday in a memo from supervisor of officials Mike Pereira, which was obtained by The Associated Press. It followed two fines last weekend for what the officiating department had determined were hits against players in defenseless positions.
One fine was against Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry, who will forfeit a game check of $16,764 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on New York Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens. The other was against Philadelphia defensive tackle LeJuan Ramsey, who was fined his game check of $21,176 for spearing Dallas' Julius Jones.
Two weeks ago, San Diego cornerback Drayton Florence was fined $15,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit that gave Houston quarterback Matt Schaub a concussion.
"Officials will be reminded this week to pay strict attention to these rules and disqualify the fouling player if the action is judged to be flagrant," Pereira wrote in the memo sent to the 32 NFL teams. "Actions that involve flagrant helmet to helmet contact are the likely acts that will include disqualification. Our commissioner and this office remain very focused on the safety of our players."
In the memo fining Landry and Ramsey, NFL director of football operations Gene Washington said emphasis would be on hits against players in defenseless positions.
Landry previously was fined $7,500 for two unnecessary roughness violations on Oct. 21 against Arizona. Ramsey was fined $5,000 on Oct. 14 for roughing the passer against the Jets.
After Florence was fined, the Texans complained that the punishment wasn't severe enough.
"We are disappointed in the sense that we have lost our starting quarterback for at least one game after the player took the crown of his helmet and delivered an illegal blow to Matt's jaw and the fine levied is only a small fraction of the player's weekly pay," general manager Rick Smith said.
"Is that equitable? The punishment doesn't appear to fit the crime when all factors are considered."

BOSTON (AP) -- The so-called "fiscal cliff" agreement apparently helped boost investor confidence: The flow of cash into stock mutual funds during the first week of 2013 was the largest in more than 11 years.
Mutual funds investing in U.S. stocks attracted $4 billion in net deposits during the weeklong period that ended Wednesday, and funds investing primarily in foreign stocks took in about $3.5 billion, according to preliminary data from Lipper, a unit of Thomson Reuters (NYSE:TRI).
The $7.5 billion total into stock funds was the largest since the week ending May 2, 2001. It marked a shift in sentiment from last year, when investors consistently withdrew more cash from stock mutual funds than they added to them.
The surge of cash into stock funds during the latest weekly period was far larger, factoring in the $10.8 in net deposits to stock exchange-traded funds. That was the largest flow of cash into stock ETFs since the week ended Sept. 19, 2012, Lipper said.
Investors deposited a net $34.2 billion into U.S. funds of all types, including mutual funds and ETFs investing in bonds, as well as money market funds.
The Jan. 1 deal between Congress and the White House to limit tax increases and delay automatic spending cuts "encouraged some investors to put their money to work in the market," Lipper analyst Tom Roseen said.
A mildly encouraging monthly jobs report released Jan. 4 also contributed to positive investor sentiment, Roseen said. That day, the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index closed at its highest level in five years.
The long-delayed fiscal cliff agreement also may have encouraged investors to get back in the market because it resulted in a more limited increase in taxes on income from stock dividends than had been feared during early stages of the negotiations. The dividend rate increased to 20 percent from 15 percent for investors in the top income bracket, and middle-income investors continue to pay 15 percent. Had no agreement been reached, dividends would have been taxed as regular income, with those in the top bracket paying 39.6 percent.
The fund flow data released Thursday night are preliminary, based on flows for about 75 percent of mutual funds and ETFs, according to Lipper. The Investment Company Institute, an industry trade organization, is scheduled to release more complete data on Wednesday that will cover flows through the week ended Jan. 9.

It's common knowledge how environmental groups view fracking. They don't trust it. They want to regulate it. And some want to get rid of it.
However, activism surrounding fracking has now migrated into the ranks of actual shareholders in the companies that perform the fracking.
According to the Investor Environmental Health Network (IEHN), 10 shareholder resolutions have been put to companies in 2012. Some involved are huge names, including Chevron Exxon Mobil, Anadarko Petroleum, Noble Energy, Chesapeake andEOG.
For example, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia submitted a resolution to Chevron that stated:
"Shareholders request that the Board of Directors prepare a report to investors by September 2012, at reasonable cost and excluding confidential or legally prejudicial data, on the short-term and long-term risks to Chevron Corporation's operations, finances and gas exploration associated with community concerns, known regulatory impacts, moratoriums, and public opposition to hydraulic fracturing and related natural gas development."
The resolution received 27 percent shareholder approval. It sounds like a failure, but those involved in the issue disagree.
"Fifty-one percent doesn't get you anything," said Rob Berridge, senior manager of the investor program for Ceres, an organization that works on the corporate level to ensure environmental sustainability. "Twenty-seven percent sends a very loud message that shareholders care about this issue."
Of the 10 resolutions, only three made it to a vote. The other seven were withdrawn "in response to corporate commitments," according to IEHN.
"Generally, it means investors got what they wanted," Berridge said. "It could also mean additional dialogue is forthcoming."
Resolutions. Dialogue. Voting.
But the real question is whether investor activism is triggering actual changes to the practice of fracking.
For one, it has brought enough organization to the companies involved that they have created a documented expression of best practices.
More companies are also more transparent about certain things — like what they put into the water used to frack.
"The industry is disclosing more now than it was a few years ago," said Berridge.
But if the shareholder votes are not binding, then why react to the overtures at all?
Easy answer: It's good business.
"What's at stake in the big picture is the social license to operate," Berridge said. "If you contaminate a town's water supply, they'll kick you out.
"And no one nearby will let you in."

- Premier League
Wilshere getting stronger by the game
Jack Wilshere has exceeded his own expectations on his return to the Arsenal first XI, but admits he is still some way short of full sharpness after coming back from a 17-month injury lay-off.
The Arsenal midfielder, back in the England squad for the first time since 2011, admits it has taken some time to adjust to the pace of the game after his lengthy spell on the sidelines recovering from ankle and knee injuries.
But after making a shaky start on his return with the Arsenal Under-21s, the 20-year-old has been satisfied with his performances against QPR, Manchester United and Schalke.
"I'm quite surprised actually," he told the Arsenal website. "When I first played, I was really rusty and I think it was clear for everyone to see. Everyone was just being nice to me saying 'you played well'.
"Now I'm feeling better and better as every game goes on and there's no hiding place when you're playing at the Emirates, at Old Trafford and you're in front of everyone. You have to be at a certain standard so you don't let your team-mates and your fans down.
"Mentally it has been tough because you question yourself all the time. You go to the Emirates, you watch games and you think 'Has it got quicker? I don't remember it being this quick. Can I get back to this level that I was at before?'
"But I feel good now and hopefully, with a few more games, I can get back to my best."
Wilshere backed Arsene Wenger's assessment that the England midfielder needs more game time to recover his acceleration over the first five yards, or "get his burst back".
"I know exactly what he means by that," Wilshere said. "The boss always says it to me when he's reminding me to do my gym work and train hard.
"It just means literally the first five yards. That was one of my strengths of my game - the first five yards, to beat a player. He says it's slowly coming back so hopefully it will come back soon.
And Wilshere was full of praise for the way in which Wenger has managed his return to the first team against QPR.
"I think the boss did it quite cleverly because maybe if he'd told me the day before, I'd have been a bit anxious and not slept as well. I was just preparing to sit on the bench and hopefully come on at some point in front of the crowd.
"He told me at 10.30am he was going to start me. I was nervous but I didn't have time to worry about it. I just went out there and I thought I did quite well.
"The intensity was totally different from the Under-21s. I played 90 minutes for the Under-21s but after 60 to 65 minutes, my legs started to go and the boss took me off."


text: Writing a keyword list for your site is one of the first steps in your SEO campaign. If you engage an SEO consultant the first thing they will normally ask you, before working on your site, is for a list of your keywords. The importance of writing a good keyword list should not be underestimated. Here are some helpful tips to help you create yours; Terms You Would Use First write all the search terms that you yourself would use when searching for a site, product or service like yours. Write every term you can think of that might be relevant to your site. Your Website Logs Have a look at your website stats programme to see what search terms your visitors have been using to find your site. Add these terms to your keyword list. Internal Searches on your Site If you have a search box on your site and can record what terms your visitors have been using it to search for, add these terms to your list. Competitors' Sites Get ideas from your competitors' sites. Look at their meta keyword tags and the content they use on their website pages, to get an idea of the keywords they have been using. Ask Others Show your site and your current list to people you know - whether they be work colleagues, friends, family or members of a forum you participate on - and ask them to suggest terms. You might be pleasantly surprised by how resourceful and helpful others can be. Synonyms These are different words that have the same meaning. Go through your list and add as many synonyms as possible. Use a Thesaurus if it would help. Spaces There are some words that are commonly spelled, with and without a space. E.g. Marketplace & Market Place, and website and web site. Use both version. Hyphens Where applicable, use the hyphenated version and the version without the hyphen. E.g e-commerce and ecommerce. Your Business and/or Website Name Your list of keywords should include these. People will search for your site or business name. Location Words Add these to relevant terms. E.g. if your keyword is business forum, use Irish Business Forum and Business Forum Ireland. Relevant Websites, Blogs, Review Sites and News Media Have a look to see what terms they are using to describe your product, service, subject topic or business. Related Terms on Search Engines Most search engines will prompt you with related terms when you search for one of your keywords. Add these related terms to your keyword list. Singular and Plural Most search engines treat the singular and plural version of any given word as separate search terms. Go through your keyword list and add the plural or singular version of all the terms already on it. Spelling Mistakes Look through your list with a view to finding terms that have common spelling mistakes. Add the misspellings to your list. Also add UK and US English versions of the spelling, where relevant. Keyword Tools These tools suggest additional keywords to you based on the search terms you enter. My favourite is Google's Keyword tool. Spending a couple of hours on this process should give you a huge list of keywords relevant to your site and your next task will then be to rank these terms in order of importance. Good luck with it!

Criterion July Releases (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
Criterion has announced The Devil's Backbone and more titles for July...
The Life of Oharu
Quote: Release Date: 9 July 2013
Synopsis: A peerless chronicler of the soul who specialized in supremely emotional, visually exquisite films about the circumstances of women in Japanese society throughout its history, Kenji Mizoguchi had already been directing movies for decades when he made The Life of Oharu in 1952. But this epic portrait of an inexorable fall from grace, starring the incredibly talented Kinuyo Tanaka as an imperial lady-in-waiting who gradually descends to street prostitution, was the movie that gained its director international attention, ushering in a new golden period for him.
Disc Features
-New high-definition digital film restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-Introductory commentary by scholar Dudley Andrew
- Mizoguchi's Art and the Demimonde, an illustrated audio essay featuring Andrew
- Kinuyo Tanaka's New Departure, a 2009 film by Koko Kajiyama documenting the actor's 1949 goodwill tour of the United States
-New English subtitle translation
-A booklet featuring an essay by film scholar Gilberto Perez
Lord of the Flies
Quote: Release Date: 16 July 2013
Synopsis: In the hands of the renowned experimental theater director Peter Brook, William Golding's legendary novel on the primitivism lurking beneath civilization becomes a film as raw and ragged as the lost boys at its center. Taking an innovative documentary-like approach, Brook shot Lord of the Flies with an off-the-cuff naturalism, seeming to record a spontaneous eruption of its characters' ids. The result is a rattling masterpiece, as provocative as its source material.
Disc Features
-New, restored 4K digital film transfer, supervised by cameraman and editor Gerald Feil, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-Audio commentary featuring director Peter Brook, producer Lewis Allen, director of photography Tom Hollyman, and Feil
-Audio recordings of William Golding reading from his novel Lord of the Flies, accompanied by the corresponding scenes from the film
-Deleted scene, with optional commentary and reading by Golding
-Interview with Brook from 2008
-Collection of behind-the-scenes material, featuring home movies, screen tests, outtakes, and stills
-New interview with Feil
-Excerpt from Feil's 1972 documentary The Empty Space, showcasing Brook's theater methods
- Something Queer in the Warehouse, a piece composed of never-before-seen footage shot by the boy actors during production, with new voice-over by Tom Gaman, who played Simon
-A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Geoffrey Macnab and an excerpt from Brook's book The Shifting Point
The Ice Storm
Quote: Release Date: 23 July 2013
Synopsis: Suburban Connecticut, 1973. While Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook" speech drones from the TV, the Hood and Carver families try to navigate a Thanksgiving break simmering with unspoken resentment, sexual tension, and cultural confusion. With clarity, subtlety, and a dose of wicked humor, Academy Award–winning director Ang Lee renders Rick Moody's acclaimed novel of upper-middle-class American malaise as a trenchant, tragic cinematic portrait of lost souls. Featuring a tremendous cast of established actors (Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver) and rising stars (Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, Elijah Wood, Katie Holmes) The Ice Storm is among the finest films of the 1990s.
Disc Features
-Restored high-definition digital film transfer, supervised and approved by director Ang Lee and director of photography Frederick Elmes, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack
-Audio commentary featuring Lee and producer-screenwriter James Schamus
-Documentary featuring interviews with actors Joan Allen, Kevin Kline, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, Sigourney Weaver, and Elijah Wood
-Interview with novelist Rick Moody
-Deleted scenes
-Footage from a 2007 event honoring Lee and Schamus at New York's Museum of the Moving Image
-Visual essays featuring interviews with the film's cinematographer and production and costume designers
-Theatrical trailer
-An essay by critic Bill Krohn
Babette's Feast
Quote: Release Date: 23 July 2013
Synopsis: At once a rousing paean to artistic creation, a delicate evocation of divine grace, and the ultimate film about food, the Oscar-winning Babette's Feast is a deeply beloved cinematic treasure. Directed by Gabriel Axel and adapted from a story by Isak Dinesen, this is the layered tale of a French housekeeper with a mysterious past who brings quiet revolution in the form of one exquisite meal to a circle of starkly pious villagers in late nineteenth-century Denmark. Babette's Feast combines earthiness and reverence in an indescribably moving depiction of pleasure that goes to your head like fine champagne.
Disc Features
-New 2K digital film restoration, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-New interview with actor Stéphane Audran
- Karen Blixen: Storyteller, a 1995 documentary about the author of the film's source story, who wrote under the pen name Isak Dinesen
-New visual essay by filmmaker Michael Almereyda
-New interview with sociologist Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson about the significance of cuisine in French culture
-A booklet featuring an essay by film scholar Mark Le Fanu and Dinesen's 1950 story
The Devil's Backbone
Quote: Release Date: 30 July 2013
Synopsis: The most personal film by Guillermo del Toro is also among his most frightening and emotionally layered. Set during the final week of the Spanish Civil War, The Devil's Backbone tells the tale of a ten-year-old boy who, after his freedom-fighting father is killed, is sent to a haunted rural orphanage full of terrible secrets. Del Toro effectively combines gothic ghost story, murder mystery, and historical melodrama in a stylish concoction that reminds us—as would his later Pan's Labyrinth—that the scariest monsters are often the human ones.
Disc Features
-New 2K digital film restoration, approved by director Guillermo del Toro and cinematographer Guillermo Navarro, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-Audio commentary featuring Del Toro
-Video introduction by Del Toro from 2010
-New interviews with Del Toro about the process of creating the ghost Santi and the drawings and designs made in preparation for the film
- ¿Que es un fantasma?, a 2004 making-of documentary
- Spanish Gothic, a 2010 interview with Del Toro about the genre and its influence on his work
-Interactive director's notebook, with Del Toro's drawings and handwritten notes, along with interviews with the filmmaker
-Four deleted scenes, with optional commentary
-New featurette about the Spanish Civil War as evoked in the film
-Program comparing Del Toro's thumbnail sketches and Carlos Giménez's storyboards with the final film
-Selected on-screen presentation of Del Toro's thumbnail sketches alongside the sections of the final film they represent (Blu-ray edition only)

Get Involved in Firefox Mobile
October 10, 2011
I've volunteered to be a community steward for the Mobile team as part of the Contributor Stewards program that has been recently created in Mozilla. My role as a community steward is to find ways to get more people involved in Firefox Mobile.
As a first step, I thought it would be a good idea to create a Get Involved page for the Mobile team. This page is meant to have only the minimal steps to start contributing to different areas of the project—it shouldn't feel overwhelming. For now, it only has content for hacking and testing but it will include other areas soon.
I have also compiled a list of bugs that are good for first-time contributors and assigned mentors to each of them. The mentors and other team members will assist you with any missing information and useful source code links.
If you're still unsure where to start after reading the Get Involved page, we're always on IRC to answer any questions you might have. Firefox Mobile is a key part of Mozilla's future and is definitely an exciting project to be part of. Join us!

Sony opens PS4 digital game pre-orders on PSN
Sony has opened up digital pre-orders for a pair of PS4 launch titles on PSN and the Sony Entertainment Network online store.
PlayStation's Twitter account announces PS3 owners now have the ability to reserve PS4 digital downloads of Crytek's free-to-play shooter Warframe and SCE Japan's action game Knack.
Knack is listed at $59.99, while Warframe is of course being offered for free.
It's a bit perplexing why Sony chose to offer pre-orders for a microtransactions-based title like Warframe, but one would assume committing to it would place a user near the front of whatever download queue might form on launch day.
PlayStation 4 and both titles launch on November 15th.

Prospects Sullivan, Sterling, Santella Make 'Big Show' Statements at CFFC 14
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Cage Fury Fighting Championships went big for its 14th edition, debuting at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa. Its featured fighters did just the same, as three northeastern fighters – George Sullivan, Aljamain Sterling and Sean Santella -- made their case for a big-show debut.
In the evening's headliner, Sullivan quickly halted former training partner and UFC veteran Greg Soto to take the CFFC welterweight crown in sudden fashion.
Former brothers-in-arms at Pellegrino MMA, the familiarity between the two fighters shone through in the bout. A feeling-out period early in this bout allowed Sullivan to find an opening, capitalizing with a nasty right hook that put Soto away at the 2:09 mark and taking the CFFC title.
"I knocked him out twice in practice with stupid things and pulled back," Sullivan explained to Sherdog.com after the bout. "Not knocked him out cold, but knew I had the striking power. I've never been rocked in a fight before. He's been rocked. I saw every time I went to throw a jab (in this fight) he would lean his head. So I faked the jab and just threw one hard right."
Sullivan, now 10-3 (1 NC) for his career, credits a loss to Elijah Harshbarger last April for completely turning his career around for the better.
"I went to Kurt Pellegrino and said I need to learn how to wrestle. I have to diet. I need a nutritionist. I got to lift weights. Thirteen pro fights I never lifted weights before. This camp I lifted weights. I never had wrestling coaches. I wrestled and cut the right now. Now I feel like a pro fighter."
Unbeaten 135-pound prospect Aljamain Sterling is an aspiring teacher who moonlights as the CFFC bantamweight champion. However, with another impressive win, the product of Cortland, N.Y.'s Team Bombsquad may soon however be daylighting against MMA's best bantamweights.
Keith Mills
A-L-J-A-M-A-I-N. Learn it.
"I didn't expect him to be so clingy on the wrist, but he got me," Sterling told Sherdog after the fight. "I heard his cornerman yelling, saying, 'You're done Aljamain! You hear me! You're done!' But I was thinking, 'Oh man, but I'm not done yet.' I was pretty close to going out on the ground so I figured I should get him up to create a little breathing room."
Sterling freed himself and used his physical, controlling style to wear Johnson down, eventually claiming his sixth pro win via rear-naked choke at 2:11 of the third round.
After winning the flyweight title at CFFC 13 against Bryan Lashomb, the aforementioned Sean Santella easily took apart Philadelphia's Tuan Pham. "Shorty Rock" confidently passed Pham's guard early and after that, the finish was inevitable. The AMA Fight Club rep successfully defended his title with a rear-naked choke submission victory at 1:53 in the opening round.
Now 10-3-1, Santella's lone loss in his last six is his October 11 decision loss to Aljamain Sterling in his CFFC bantamweight title bid.
K. Mills
Santella earned another sub.
Light heavyweight Erik Purcell was going to score a double-leg on Danny Holmes no matter what it took. However, after defending three separate guillotine attempts, Purcell couldn't fend off the fourth, and Holmes earned the tap at 2:48 of the first round.
The debuting Jonavin Webb made quick work of Brooklyn's Robert Gittens. Webb put Gittens on the mat early in the fight and never relented, eventually taking his back and scoring the rear-naked choke submission victory at 2:35 in the first.
A lightweight bout between Mike Medrano and Matt Nice ended almost as quickly as it got started. Medrano bulled over Daddis Fight Camp's Nice and into his guard. As soon as Nice saw an opening he tried to stand the fight back up. Medrano saw an opening of his own though to counter and that he did with a guillotine submission stopping the bout 47 seconds after it started.
