The ITBP contingent guarding 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab at the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai will soon be "deinducted".
According to procedure, once the specified task given to a special squad of a central force comes to an end, the Union Home Ministry issues an order asking the force headquarters to "deinduct" the contingent.
"The squad designated to guard Kasab will be deinducted now," sources in the paramilitary said.
A 300-strong contingent of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) was deployed at the Mumbai prison soon after Kasab, who was hanged today in Pune, was lodged in a special cell in the jail.
The force was sent on the request of the state government to guard the high-profile inmate.
The ITBP squad that was deployed for securing Kasab was armed with the best weaponry like under barrel grenade launchers and high precision weapons and ammunition in order to ensure tight security of the jail complex where Kasab was lodged.
The ITBP, a border guarding force tasked to secure the Sino-Indian frontier, has been monitoring its squad 24x7 since Kasab was lodged there via its control room based here.
The ITBP has since put forward a bill of about Rs 27 crore to the Maharashtra government for rendering this duty as per the rules of their deployment.

Today's guest post comes from our wonderful World Read Aloud Day Partner, SNAP! Learning. Read on for read aloud tips and exciting details about a free book giveaway!
Another international event, another great excuse to snuggle down with a book! Snap Learning is thrilled to partner with LitWorld and help readers everywhere celebrate World Read Aloud Day.
As publishers of leveled readers, we know that reading aloud (and along) can have a profound impact on a young reader's literacy skills.
To encourage readers both young and old to read aloud, we've listed out our favorite tips for making reading aloud an unforgettable event.
1. Sing aloud! Take your favorite poem, verse or child's book and read it to a tune you already know. It won't take more than a few tries to find to the right tune to fit your new words, and it can be remarkably exciting when it does.
2. Give a speech. Find a famous speech - new or old, politician or pop-star - and read it aloud for your friends, class or family. Extra points if you dress up.
3. Embrace a good love story. Sometimes we shy away from truly expressing ourselves. Don't be afraid to show your children what it means to get emotional about reading, and to make character's own emotions come to life by channeling your inner Meryl Streep. Things that work well: dramatic pauses, long sighs, a soulful face, arm gestures, and facial expressions. Don't be shy about moving around.
4. It's all about the voices. Y'all ever eyeball a para or two that looks like English, but just ain't? Time to become the character! Learn the accent and then see if you can give that dialogue a whirl. Don't worry about sounding silly, in fact the only way you can go wrong is if you aren't silly enough.
5. Sound or act out a special word: Scan the material you are going to read and then choose a frequently occurring word or person in that passage. For example, in a text that features elephants, there's no better choice than "elephant." Decide what action you will make to accompany the word. The elephants (trumpet like an elephant) walked slowly across the dusty plains. Most of the elephants (trumpeting noise) would stay together till they reached the watering hole, but Josey the elephant (trumpeting noise) was different. Your audience will begin to anticipate the next occurence of the word and will hopefully join in!
We hope you have a great World Read Aloud Day, and to help you spread the reading fun, we will be sharing a published Snap Learning Fiction Book on March 5th. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest to get your free book on the day.

Shaq 'N' LeBron In Cleveland: Let The Rock 'N' Roll Marketing (And Tweets) Begin
June 25, 2009: He won three NBA titles in Los Angeles and another in Miami. Now, Shaquille O'Neal will seek his fifth title in the city that is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum via a trade that brings him to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. In O'Neal, a 15-time NBA all-star who is 37, Cleveland gets a lead player who is still among the most imposing and marketable athletes in pro sports. (O'Neal's former team, the Phoenix Suns, which acquired him from the Miami Heat in 2008, get Ben Wallace, Aleksandar Pavlovic, $500,000 and a second-round pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.)
O'Neal earns about $15 million in endorsements via deals that include Chinese footwear and apparel brand Li-Ning, Enlyten nutraceutical dissolving strips and Comcast. (James tops all NBA players at about $25 million in endorsements, including Nike, Coca-Cola and State Farm.) O'Neal also has become one of Twitter's biggest spokespersons, although in a non-official capacity as a Twitter member. Fittingly, it only took a few hours for O'Neal to post on his Twitter page, "The Real Shaq" (where he has more than 1.4 million followers), a computer-generated image of himself wearing a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform that had been created by the Cavaliers, along with a Cavs logo. It came with several "tweets" from O'Neal, including, "Successful leadership is measured by influence, not authority." Another read, "This is how I really feel about the trade. Enjoy." Attached was a video of O'Neal lip-synching to Akon's "Over the Edge" ("I'm here at the crossroad/Where my life is heading? Man I don't know/Should I stay or should I go?/ 'Cause anything's better than what I been through.")
The immediate marketing impact will be felt by the Cavaliers, who can use James and O'Neal in all of its sales and ticket activations. But O'Neal's marketing partners have a new window of opportunity to tap into the "LeBron effect" by putting O'Neal's fresh start seeking a title in Cleveland into the spotlight. Li-Ning, which vies with Nike and adidas for attention in China, could take advantage of the situation in Cleveland to step up its plans to become better known in the U.S.
"Shaq's marketing is on a national level already so the Cleveland move won't necessarily bring him new deals," said David Schwab. vice-president at marketing agency Octagon, Washington, D.C., and managing director at First Call, Octagon's celebrity acquisition and activation division. "But current partners of his like Comcast may be able to buy into or leverage the increased number of nationally broadcasted games he will be in. As for Cleveland, LeBron has already done so much for tickets and sponsorship. This," said Schwab, "is the cherry on top.
In fact, the Cavaliers took little time to post on their home page the computer-generated photo of O'Neal wearing a Cleveland uniform, with the text: "Running on Diesel. Welcome to Cleveland, Shaq. The chances of O'Neal and James appearing together in national marketing other than Cavaliers or NBA promo-related spots are slim and none, as many of their deals are conflicting (Li-Ning vs. Nike, Enlyten vs. James' Vitaminwater) and the cost to hire both would be prohibitive.
But ESPN could pull it off, as both players have done spots for the sports network, by pairing them in a "This is SportsCenter" spot or in promos for its NBA coverage. TNT also has used multiple players to tout its NBA coverage, so a Shaq-LeBron duo could be a match made in Turner heaven. Beyond that, O'Neal could become a spokesperson for Cleveland landmarks such as the Rock Hall of Fame, and draw attention to other sports by showing up, for example, at a Cleveland Indians game. James and O'Neal are certain to make local appearances together, especially in "NBA Cares" related situations as the 2009-10 season approaches. And while some analysts are looking at this as a one-year-and-done deal for O'Neal, he has other plans, even if they are not with Cleveland. As O'Neal wrote on his Twitter page, "My numbers are not good enough to retire. 3 more years left."

Ford buying Super Bowl ad space for Lincoln
Ford Motor Co. is breaking with its long tradition and buying an ad on the Super Bowl to promote its Lincoln brand.
The plans for the Super Bowl are only one part of Ford's effort to capture new space in the premium automotive market, where the Lincoln brand has been largely irrelevant for the past two decades.
The new creative strategy behind Lincoln features the brand's first-ever Super Bowl ad.
While General Motors announced last spring it would not advertise on the 2013 Super Bowl, brands such as Volkswagen, Hyundai and the Chrysler Group are committed to the telecast.
"We are announcing a new beginning for a brand that has been part of our company and the American fabric for more than 90 years," Ford Motor Co. Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally said Monday.
"The new Lincoln brand will be defined by great new luxury vehicles, such as the new MKZ, that feature quality, unique style with substance and innovative technology. These elements, coupled with a new level of warm, personal and surprising experiences, will enable Lincoln to appeal to today's new luxury customer," Mulally said.
Mulally said the seeds of this announcement were planted several years ago when the company divested itself of other luxury brands, among them Aston-Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo, and made the decision to continue to develop the Ford and Lincoln brands.
The Lincoln Motor Co. signifies the new future being built on the foundation that originally made Lincoln an inspiration for premium brands and a source of growth and value to its corporate parent, Mulally said.
With its focus on attracting a new market of individual-minded luxury consumers, Lincoln will deliver a range of vehicles that combine stunning elegant design with technical innovation, he said.
"The time is now for Lincoln," said Jim Farley, executive vice president of global marketing, sales and service, and Lincoln.
"The 'Great Recession' changed people and their view of luxury. Today, luxury consumers make decisions based on what appeals most to their passions and not what they believe will impress others. We know we need to continually surprise and delight these new clients," Farley said.
Farley said the all-new MKZ will be the first of four new Lincoln vehicles in the next four years created to appeal to these new luxury consumers who are emerging as a powerful economic force.
Called progressive luxury consumers, they are responsible for nearly 25 percent of all luxury vehicle sales in America. They are affluent individuals who no longer purchase to maintain an image for others, but instead seek fresh new alternatives that appeal to them because they found a truly unique choice.
Farley also announced that Lincoln has asked comedian Jimmy Fallon to lead the Super Bowl commercial written entirely through social media, with consumers participating through Twitter. Consumers will provide their best 140-character thoughts to a script, and Fallon will then lead the curation of the best contributions that will create the ad to run during the broadcast of the big game.
As another highlight, all-time NFL rushing leader and three-time Super Bowl champion Emmitt Smith joined Farley for the MKZ launch and has signed on as a brand ambassador to help Lincoln continue to put MKZ in the spotlight at the game in New Orleans.
"It's an honor to join Lincoln Motor Co. on its comeback journey and I'm excited that the MKZ will star in Lincoln's first-ever Super Bowl commercial," said Smith.

The first witness will take the stand on Wednesday in the criminal trial of Rose Marks, a clairvoyant who is accused of defrauding clients including best-selling author Jude Deveraux, of $25 million over decades.
Marks, 62, has psychic powers that have run in her family for over 1,500 years, says her attorney, Fred Schwartz.
"She said she uses psychic powers to help advise people as a life coach and that she's a spiritual advisor," Schwartz said in an interview with ABC News.
More than a dozen alleged victims, including romance novelist Deveraux, are expected to testify in the trial, for which jury selection began on Monday. Opening statements are scheduled to take place on Wednesday, followed by attorneys' opening statements.
Deveraux, 65, the author of 37 New York Times bestsellers, is declining to comment during the trial, according to her publicist. Marks preyed on Deveraux's problems related to relationships, the death of her son, and difficulty having children, police say. She reportedly handed over $20 million to Marks.

Through her attorney, Marks, based in Fort Lauderdale, declined to comment, but Schwartz said she denies the charges against her.
The latest version of the 15-count federal indictment from the U.S. Attorney's Office accuses Marks of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, money laundering and filing a false tax return. The U.S. Attorney's Office is requesting a judgment of $25 million, representing the amount she allegedly obtained fraudulently.
Marks and eight family members were arrested in Aug. 2011. The family members pled guilty to lesser charges, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
During the jury selection process, family members of Marks have shown support by watching from the courtroom.
The indictment states that Rose Marks "a/k/a Joyce Michael, along with co-conspirators, represented herself as a psychic and clairvoyant, gifted by God to communicate with spirit guides to assist her clients through personal difficulties."
Her services included "Tarot card readings, palm readings, astrology readings, numerology readings, and spiritual readings for her clients," the indictment states.
The indictment continues, "The conspirators would offer services to walk-in customers, some of whom would be suffering from mental and emotional disorders, who had recently gone through personal traumatic events and/or who were emotionally vulnerable, fragile and/or gullible."
The client "would need to make 'sacrifices', usually consisting of large amounts of money (but also at times including jewelry, gold coins and other property) because 'money was the root of all evil'," the indictment states.
Schwartz said Marks' family members provided some of those services and not his client.
"She was more of a life coach," he said of Marks.
The indictment alleges that if clients stopped providing additional money or property, Marks' "work" could become "undone and result in harm to the client or client's family or loved ones".
In a previous email to ABCNews.com, Deveraux said that her 2010 novel "Scarlet Nights" details how she views the work of psychics.
"I worked with the police on the story, especially the few pages that tell about the way gypsies give people hope and how they cut them off from everyone. This is all done for money," Deveraux wrote to ABCNews.com in 2011.
Deveraux provided millions of dollars to Marks over a nearly two-decade span, but the author claims she was supposed to get the money back, Schwartz explained.
"The question is when do you start asking for your money back?" Schwartz said. "If you give a million here and are supposed to get it back, and you give another second million the next year, when do you start getting buyer's remorse? That's a question we have and will ask Ms. Deveraux."
Schwartz said "overzealous" investigators approached a number of witnesses and told them they believed Marks cheated them and would try to get their money back.
"So now, they are saying what the government wants them to say," he said.
One "victim" filed a sworn affidavit saying he had not been swindled — but instead was a satisfied client of Marks' sister, Victoria Eli, who was his "personal life coach" for 12 years, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
ABC News' Christina Ng and Molly Riegger contributed to this report.

Jokers Jump part 2
Walkthrough - Jokers Jump part 2
When you regain control, you'll find someone named Crewman Hawthorne. He'll tell you that he'll protect you from the Reapers, but he's quickly overrun by one of them. Follow the red lights on the floor, which will guide you to precisely where you need to be. Head rightward, and then swing leftward down the corridor towards Dr. Chakwas' office. She's not there now (obviously), but that rogue Geth is, disabled and sitting on a floor. A cutscene will now occur between EDI and Joker. Joker has to unleash EDI from a preventive firewall that's stopping her from accessing the defense mechanisms on the ship. Once this is done (which happens automatically), EDI will then request that Joker uses the nearby ladder to go down into the ducts once more, to covertly access another part of the ship. Worry not -- our task here is almost complete.
Upon regaining control once more, Joker will now have to rapidly dash up some stairs and swing leftward into yet another room. Here, an active computer terminal will beckon you. Run up to it and examine it, and you'll catalyze the end events of this frantic and unusual mission. EDI has hatched a plan which is harsh, but one that Joker has no real choice but to agree with. EDI wants to jump away from harm's way, sealing the engineering wing and letting the absolute zero vacuum of space catapult the Reapers off of the ship en route. Joker is concerned about other survivors, until EDI tells him that there are none. It seems that the Reapers have made off with a bunch of survivors. Once the jump is made, Joker can rest easy for now. EDI sends a message out to Shepard and company about what happened at the Normandy, and he subsequently makes haste back to the ship.
The next cutscene will show the Normandy's core crew -- Shepard, Joker, Miranda and Jacob. Shepard will have plenty of opportunities to speak with Joker how he wants to here, so you can easily earn some Paragon or Renegade points depending on how you navigate the conversation (though the outcome will still be the same regardless). Jacob is impressed with Joker's skill in saving the ship, even if he had to unleash EDI to do so. Miranda, on the other hand, is disappointed that he unleashed EDI. Nonetheless, it's obvious that if EDI was going to kill everyone on the ship, she could have done so already on numerous occasions. The important news for the time being is that the IFF is installed, the missing crew members are conceivably still alive and with the Reapers, and we're now able to jump through the Omega-4 Mass Relay to reach the Reaper homeworld. But before we do, we have something to deal with. And yes, it has to do with that Geth we captured.

Mr. Speaker, since 2013, September 30th has been marked as Orange Shirt Day, a day for all Canadians to remember the survivors of the residential school system.
Organizers chose an orange shirt as the symbol for that day based on a story told by Phyllis Jack Webstat, a survivor of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School in Williams Lake, BC. In her story, Ms. Webstat tells of having the shiny, new orange shirt her grandmother had given to her being taken away on her first day at residential school.

Editor's Note: Gordon Bottomley and Marina Grushin are Associates at Ergo, a global intelligence and advisory firm. Follow Ergo on Twitter.
By Gordon Bottomley and Marina Grushin – Special to CNN
Is Nigeria headed for an Arab Spring-like uprising?
After a turbulent year that saw the collapse of regimes in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya, fears are mounting that the government of Africa's most populous nation is at risk of being the first to fall in 2012 - and the first outside the MENA region. Two issues are currently intensifying these fears: mounting civil unrest over the removal of a long-standing subsidy on petroleum products, and a sustained insurgency led by radical Islamist terrorists.
Threats to Stability
Since mid-summer, Nigeria has struggled to counter the insurgency waged by Boko Haram, an Islamist sect that wants sharia law applied throughout the country. In August, Boko Haram shocked the international community with its successful suicide bombing (only the second ever in the country's history) of the United Nations headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, raising fears in the West that Nigeria is poised to become the next front of the global war on terror.
Despite a significant increase in security measures - including house-to-house searches for weapons in some cities - bomb blasts and gun battles persist in Nigeria's north. The insurgency shows little signs of abating: since the U.N. bombing, the group has carried out near-daily operations, robbing banks, bombing government buildings and offices, and assassinating political elites. On Christmas Day, Boko Haram set off bombs in two churches, leading President Goodluck Jonathan to declare a state of emergency in the north of Nigeria, the group's base of operations.
Against this already turbulent backdrop, Jonathan has done away with a long-standing subsidy that for decades kept fuel prices artificially low. The announcement - which came just days after Boko Haram's Christmas Day attacks - sparked immediate backlash, only adding to the president's security woes.
In a matter of days, fuel prices skyrocketed, increasing by as much as 116%. Nigerians, the majority of whom live on less than two dollars a day, are now unable to afford fuel for cooking or transportation. Thousands of demonstrators have already flooded the streets, and labor strikes have all but shut down economic activity in major cities.
A Nigerian Spring?
Will terrorism and civil unrest be catalysts that send Nigeria the way of Egypt, Libya, or Tunisia?
There is little reason to expect Boko Haram's activity to bring down the government in Abuja. The sect lacks unified leadership and does not enjoy enough popular support to pose an existential threat to the Nigerian government.
Boko Haram's regular bank robberies also suggest that they currently lack a steady stream of financing - a necessity for an effective, sustained insurgency. That is not to minimize the threat; Nigeria could fast become a country, like Yemen or Somalia, that is unable to deal with its insurgent elements. Nonetheless, the group's tactics and radical ideology have alienated large swaths of Nigeria's population, not only among the Christians and government entities they often target, but among prominent northern Muslims and political elites as well.
But if Boko Haram and its sympathizers represent only a subset of Nigeria's population, the removal of the fuel subsidy has elicited outrage nationwide. Indeed, the civil unrest sparked by rising fuel prices now poses a substantial and immediate threat to Nigeria's stability.
Few issues have as much power to unite Nigerians, largely because many view cheap fuel as their sole benefit from the country's oil wealth, the majority of which is spent on government salaries and patronage politics, instead of infrastructure development and social services. In a country with hundreds of distinct ethnic groups and little sense of national identity, citizens rarely rally around a common cause. The sudden inability to procure fuel for basic needs such as transportation, however, has inspired Nigerians of all stripes to take to the streets en masse.
Protesters do not seek to overthrow the Goodluck Jonathan administration (not yet anyway), but they are aggressively calling for reinstatement of the fuel subsidy. For the time being, Jonathan is unlikely to acquiesce. He still enjoys the full support of Nigeria's 36 highly influential governors, all of whom back the subsidy removal. Moreover, reinstating the subsidy would discredit the president's administration, which has pledged to return fiscal discipline to the country.
There are indeed strong economic reasons for removing the subsidy, which cost the Nigerian government more than $8 billion last year. The government has pledged to put the money saved towards infrastructure projects and development programs. However, citizens worry that the subsidy removal will only line the pockets of Nigeria's venal politicians, who have a history of using state funds for personal gain, rather than economic development. With labor strikes and demonstrations continuing nationwide, a standoff is emerging between frustrated citizens and the federal government.
If Jonathan is to retain control of the population without reneging on policy, he will need to demonstrate his commitment to improving the country's dismal socio-economic conditions. The president's announcement Saturday that he will cut the inflated pay of civil servants and create 370,000 jobs for Nigerian youths is a start - albeit a negligible one in a country with over 60 million unemployed young men and women (according to the country's Youth Minister). Disillusioned Nigerians are rightly skeptical of the president's promises. Additional tangible improvements are needed to ease the growing tensions and prevent sustained instability.
Nigerians suffer from many of the underlying socio-economic problems that helped to bring about regime change in the Middle East and North Africa. Thus far, Nigeria has escaped a similar fate. But the Nigerian government's window of opportunity to deal with staggering socio-economic disparity and unemployment is growing smaller by the day. Jonathan is pinning his hopes on his administration's ability to wait out the current storm. But if these underlying issues are left unaddressed, the removal of the fuel subsidy may prove to be a watershed event for the Nigerian state.
Whichever the way you percive Islamic beliefs there is a need to share it with other people.
An impressive share! I've just forwarded this onto a co-worker who has been conducting a little homework on this. And he actually bought me lunch due to the fact that I discovered it for him... lol. So let me reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this issue here on your internet site.
Good day! I could have sworn I've been to this site before but after going through some of the posts I realized it's new to me. Anyways, I'm certainly delighted I found it and I'll be book-marking it and checking back often!
Hello there, I think your website could possibly be having web browser compatibility problems. Whenever I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it's got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, excellent site!
I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

There's another 'Iron Man' movie coming out, which is as good a time as any to celebrate the immortal sexiness of Robert Downey Jr.
'Iron Man 3' hits theaters next week, but I couldn't wait another day to post some pics of RDJ, an actor who only seems to get sexier with age, like the fine scotch Tony Stark drinks in the movies.
If you have an aversion to superhero films, let it go — they aren't just for nerdy dudes! Free your minds, dear readers, and head to the theater next weekend, where I promise you will have a blast watching Robert Downey Jr. kick bad guy butt while delivering witty one-liners.
What's not to love about the guy? He had his bad boy phase, but he came out of it and was able to still be himself without having to do some nice guy reinvention. He's still dark, he's still sharp-tongued, and he still looks fantastic.
RDJ recently posed for the May issue of GQ, and his pics are so coy and sexy, and just brimming with that clever attitude we've come to love from the smart-mouthed actor. I rounded up the best ones and found a few more to please your eyes, and I think you'll agree that he's deserving of your movie money next weekend when 'Iron Man 3′ hits theaters with a bang.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 118 diseños de 37 diseñadores freelance.
Pro Property Management
I am a business owner starting a new company in a new location (I was recently relocated) and I want to create a new brand around a fantastic logo that you design. I want to become a major presence in the Property Management/Leasing Business
This is a logo that will be used to attract new clients. It needs to be attractive but simply elegant. We target clients with professional end-to-end management services to help maximize profitability while reducing stress.
We want to target "google searchers" looking for property managers and leasing agents in the Connecticut area.
We are looking for a clean monochrome color scheme, Blue is our company color, so varying shades of blue, grey, black may be ok as well. Our goal is to look professional, clean, and trustworthy, so people feel comfortable inviting us into their home(s).
The logo should be flat, 2 dimensional, NO bevels, drop shadows, fades, etc.... Those can be added later by us if desired. We are looking for logos "like" http://www.leacapital.com and http://www.clctaxcredits.com.
Our logo needs to look as good in black in white as it does in color.
We will need it in a vector format so they can be easily edited in illistrator or Fireworks to alter the colors slightly.
Elements to consider are houses, signs, people.... Nothing too cartoonish, or "cute", keep it simple.
The final logo will be placed on our website and marketing material such as papers/fliers so it has to look as good in color as it does in white on a color backround.
The logo design needs to be more wide than tall.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, as we will be constantly in the system checking out designs.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is pumped about the upcoming Bob Dylan Bootleg Series release. This one, Tell Tale Signs, will be volume 8 and is a two cd compilation of rare and unreleased tracks from 1989-2006. There's even gonna be a super special Dylanphile edition that contains 13 extra tracks, a 7" single and a book about Dylan's singles from all over the world. Crazy!
Anyway, thanks to my sweet friend Greg, my attention has been turned to one of the tracks from this upcoming release, an alternate version of the song "Mississippi" from Love and Theft. This song was originally recorded in an entirely different version for Time Out of Mind, but was cut from that album and eventually redone again for Love and Theft. Time Out of Mind is my favorite of Dylan's more recent albums, and it's kinda known to have been trimmed of what many claimed were its best tracks.
This unreleased version of "Mississippi" makes the song totally new again. It's incredible: stark and straightforward, making an already great song even better. This version gives the track and especially its hard-edged lyrics a rough majesty that was missing from the ultra-smooth Nashville-ized album version. It will be exciting to hear even more of these tracks on this new release in a few weeks! Tell Tale Signs comes out Oct 7 and in the meantime I'll be pulling out my more recently released Dylan albums and giving 'em a whirl in preparation.
To whet your appetite too, here's "Mississippi" -- the unreleased version:

MoodThingy is, technically, a Javascript widget embedded on articles and/or blog posts as a way to get a users feedback about a post without commenting. While the following companies are not direct competitors, they are in a similar vein in that they capture metadata around blog posts: LiveFyre.com and disqus.com.
Values to Communicate:
As this product will be directed to publishers and bloggers -- of all types -- our "voice of MoodThingy" is a friendly tone, open to all audiences, with moments of humor without being snarky or malicious (as far as copy goes, think "Flickr," especially during its early days.)
Further Requirements:
You can see an example of a widget by going to any particular blog post on one of the sites that has implemented an alpha version of MoodThingy:
This previous link is an example of a MoodThingy widget which has a high amount of votes. (Scroll down to "MoodThingy," after the article and before the comments.)
This is a different example of a Moodthingy widget. As of this writing, there is no votes and best represents an initial case scenario.
The visual branding will, at the very least, go in our marketing website at the soon to be launched MoodThingy.com, and then on to print, signage, etc. We will also most likely integrate this branding within the widget itself.
As the widget will be implemented on blogs and websites of all types, the branding should be strong enough where it looks good against any color palette.

Bill Hader has spent a sufficient amount of time as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he can do lots of impressions. But, still, I'm not sure I was prepared for his Jabba. Damn.
The actor/comedian appeared on Conan O'Brien's show last night and Conan just couldn't help but ask if Hader would ever want to be in J.J. Abrams' next Star Wars film. Check out his other hilarious impressions in the clip above.

With Symmetrical outbuildings, classical details, unusual brick quoins, and intricate interior woodwork, Mount Pleasant made a bold architectural statement in the years leading up to the American Revolution.
About Mount Pleasant
A colorful Scottish sea captain and American patriot, John Macpherson (1726–1792) and his first wife Margaret built this grand country estate and productive farm in the mid 1760's to the delight of many from Philadelphia society, including statesman John Adams, prior to his Presidency.
This home is built high atop cliffs overlooking the Schuylkill River and the Macphersons employed as their builder-architect Thomas Nevell, an apprentice of Edmund Woolley, the builder of Independence Hall. Both Macpherson and Nevell intended to make a bold statement with this house. Macpherson announced his ambition to join established Philadelphia society by commissioning a house which rivaled the greatest city homes, and Nevell hoped to demonstrate his considerable craft and architectural knowledge. Together, they built one of the grandest homes along the Schuylkill, one that John Adams on a visit to the residence in 1775, declared "the most elegant seat in Pennsylvania."
By the mid-1770s, Macpherson decided to give up farming and returned to Philadelphia city life, renting Mount Pleasant to a series of tenants. Benedict Arnold bought the estate in 1779, though he never lived in the house, then the home passed through a series of owners in the tumultuous 1780s. Finally, in 1792, Jonathan Williams, the first superintendent of West Point and grand-nephew of Ben Franklin, purchased Mount Pleasant and lived there intermittently for two decades. His children ultimately sold the estate to Fairmount Park. Prior to restoration in 1926 by the Philadelphia Museum of Art's first director, Fiske Kimbell, Mount Pleasant served various public purposes, functioning once a beer garden and later as a dairy farm providing milk and ice cream to local residents.
The Architecture
Considered representative of the Georgian style reflecting English design books and the influence of the Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, Mount Pleasant presents a grand exterior. Macpherson also provided a traditional Scottish interpretation, based on his own heritage. This elegant and balanced home includes a pair of outbuildings flanking the main house, presenting an impressive stance when one approaches.
The house includes three-part Venetian windows and rusticated entrances with a stucco exterior scored to resemble stone. Visitors will notice the unusual brick corner quoins, rarely seen, and a brick belt course.
Macpherson employed builder/architect Thomas Nevell, who studied with Edmund Woolley (builder of Independence Hall), to design and build his country retreat. The home is considered one of the greatest American houses of its type.
Interior and Furnishings
The rooms in this colonial masterpiece feature the craftsmanship of some of the leading Philadelphia artisans, such as carver Martin Jugiez. His work represent some of the finest surviving examples of Philadelphia architectural carving. Though Jugiez's birth date and country of origin are unknown, it is clear that he rose to prominence while in Philadelphia. His style is distinct and easily recognizable, often featuring C-scrolls, flowers, leaves and buds. Visitors are treated to an entrance hall and staircase with classic motifs derived from Doric and Ionic architectural column designs, interpreted into decorative elements.
Look for naturalistic Rococo designs, such as floral C-scrolls and acanthus foliage adorning the parlor and main upper chamber as well. Excellent Rococo and Rococo-inspired furniture pieces from the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art are on display to compliment this home's heritage and architectural details.
The Grounds
Mount Pleasant sits high atop raised cliffs over the Schuylkill
River, now a part of the vast Fairmount Park.
The original plantation included 150 acres of hay fields, pastures for
sheep and cattle, orchards and a large kitchen garden. At one point the grounds served as a working dairy farm.
The Charm Symbol
Each of the Charms houses is represented individually in the logo. These key icons are based on the unique qualities of each home --- here the key represents the curvaceous C scrolls which decorate Mount Pleasant.
More Information:
Mount Pleasant is closed for maintenance until further notice. We will announce when it plans to reopen.

(Reuters) - The New York Yankees are Major League Baseball's most valuable team for a 17th consecutive year, coming in at more than triple the league's average value, according to a survey released by Forbes on Wednesday.
The 27-time World Series champion Yankees were valued at $2.5 billion, a nine percent jump from last year and comfortably above the second ranked Los Angeles Dodgers, whose value rose 24 percent to $2 billion due largely to a new television deal.
The Yankees, who last year missed the playoffs for only the second time since 1994 and saw their revenue dip 2 percent to an MLB-high $461 million, have topped the list since Forbes began tracking MLB team valuations in 1998.
The 2013 World Series champion Boston Red Sox ($1.5 billion), Chicago Cubs ($1.2 billion) and San Francisco Giants ($1 billion) rounded out the top five. It marked the first time five MLB teams were worth at least $1 billion.
The average MLB team is now worth $811 million, up nine percent from last year, which Forbes attributed to television deals. For the complete list visit (www.forbes.com/mlb).

U.S. Auto Industry's Three-Months Life Support
The White House says if GM and Chrysler can't come up with a plan for viability by March 31st, then they will have to repay the money. That's like giving a panhandler $1,000 dollars and telling him to repay it in three months. The White House knows that the conditionality is foolish and unrealistic.
[Black Star News Editorial]
The truth of the matter is that the American car industry as we know it as dead despite the $17.4 billion bailout okayed this week by president George W. Bush which is merely meant to temporarily avert chaotic collapse and keep the life support machines on.
General Motors and Chrysler will either merge and then team up with Ford Motor Co, which still reportedly has anywhere from $15 billion to $20 billion in cash, or they will disappear.
In the long-run, they may form the foundation for the factories that will eventually produce the so-called green cars. In the process, tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs –because the newly reconfigured companies will require lean staffing until there is effective demand for their products.
The money Bush gave GM and Chrysler came from what remained of the $350 billion Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson had been authorized to spend; it's half of the $700 billion economic rescue package okayed by Congress in October.
The conditions imposed for the government loans to GM and Chrysler are not realistic. The White House says if GM and Chrysler can't come up with a plan for viability by March 31st, then they will have to repay the money.
That's like giving a panhandler $1,000 dollars and telling him to repay it in three months.
The White House knows that the conditionality is foolish and unrealistic. It was made for political reasons; that's why a White House fact sheet states that the conditions are "non-binding."
The so-called bailout is only meant to extend the employment of GM and Chrysler employees for a couple of months. They cannot in the short term produce cars that can be sold; not only because the fuel-efficient cars favored by the Barack Obama Administration cannot be produced within a short time, but also, no one currently has money to buy cars.
Even the Japanese auto companies are cutting down their production by as many as 30% or up to 200,000 cars, because of weak demand for these automobiles. So, it's clear that the U.S. is not saving the auto industry so that they can produce and sell cars. It's a gap-measure; a band-aid approach to stanch the flood.
The money will all be gone, burned up in salaries, bonuses, legacy payments –to retirees—and other operational costs. Then President Obama will be faced with the choice that Bush had to make this week.
Pull the plugs or maintain life support? We will find out in a few months.

What is Molly?
Molly is an abbreviation for "Molecule" and it generally refers to a "purified" form of ecstasy. Ecstasy is also referred to as the chemical MDMA or methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine. Essentially Molly and ecstasy have two types of action: a "psychogenic type effect" plus an amphetamine or "speed" like effect. Molly is more potent than ecstasy, hence increasing the psychedelic and amphetamine like component. Molly may be "cut" or mixed with pure amphetamine or methamphetamine since there is no quality control on the manufacture of these illegal drugs. The amphetamine component of Molly can be very potent. Ecstasy and Molly have been used to enhance one's state of well being (the empathic/psychogenic component) while giving users more energy/arousal (the amphetamine like component).
What does it do?
How the drug effects the brain is not well known. Serotonin and dopamine are the chemicals in the brain connected with mood and emotion, and regulate appetite, sex, aggression and cognitive function. Reports indicate that there is stimulation of both serotonin and dopamine in the brain with short term use; with depletion of these neurotransmitters over time.
Is it addictive?
Molly appears to be addictive; as is ecstasy. The addiction appears to be more psychological than physiological since there are not clear withdrawal symptoms from a single use. Some suggest that certain individuals continue to have depression, anxiety, and sometimes hallucinations after taking substantial quantities of this drug.
Why do teens and young adults perceive that it's safe?
Ecstasy has been around for a long time and used in clubs and bars without overdoses or fatalities being associated with it. Since Molly is only seen as a more potent ecstasy many think it is safe. However, Molly has the reputation of being more potent and often mixed with other compounds. For instance, overseas in Europe and the Middle East, Molly is often synonymous with meth-amphetamine because of the high levels of amphetamine used in its production. Users in these areas suffer from many of the short and longer-term problems associated with methamphetamine abuse.
How do I talk to my kids about Molly?
The first lesson is to stay away from prescription and illegal drugs. Molly is particularly dangerous because it's difficult to know what was actually mixed into the drug. Parents should have an open dialogue about the moral and ethical issues of using drugs. They should also discuss the realities of drug or mixed substance abuse that can result in serious consequences, such as blackouts, ending up in dangerous situations and locations, overdoses, or longer term persistent effects of "bad drugs."
What signs should I look for to determine if my teen/young adult is ingesting Molly?
Short term, Molly produces an excitable and often talkative state. Teens who are using Molly often attend overnight parties often referred to as "raves" and seemingly "disappear" –sometimes for 24-36 hours. Over time, academic decline, irritability, depression, change in patterns of interactions with other friends and parents may occur. Parents who are concerned should talk with their kids. If parents notice changes, they should talk with their child's doctor, or psychologists at their school to find localized addiction care. At the MassGeneral Hospital for Children, we have a specialty service for addiction in teens and young adults referred to as the Addiction Recovery Management Service (ARMS) and Addiction Center.
Where can I get more information?
The National Institute on Drug Abuse has a wonderful website devoted to all types of substances of abuse.

Russia: Historic Kazan Icon Stands At Center Of Religious Issues
Pope John Paul II with the Kazan icon A little Christian icon stands this week at the center of a long-running debate between the Catholic pope in Rome and the Russian Orthodox patriarch in Moscow. It is an 18th-century copy of a legendary 16th-century icon known as Mother of God of Kazan (Lady of Kazan), a depiction of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus Christ. Pope John Paul II has sought for years to deliver the icon personally to Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Aleksii II, as part of a long-sought visit to Russia. But the Patriarchate has repeatedly refused to sanction the visit. RFE/RL reports that the 30-centimeter-high icon, which is due to return to Russia tomorrow, is a small symbol of a large controversy between these two branches of Christianity.

About 300 braved the cold night air Nov. 16 on the steps of the Statehouse for a rally and candlelight vigil to draw attention to the increasing epidemic of youth suicide brought brought on by anti-gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender bullying in schools in Idaho and across the nation.
Casey Dempsey said he witnesses bullying "almost every day" at Centennial High.
"One day I was in the hall minding my own business and someone spat on me. There is nothing worse in my mind than feeling worthless and being spat on," said Dempsey. "One day you are straight and everyone thinks you're the coolest person, the next you're not straight and they stop talking to you and all of a sudden you're getting bullied by people who you were friends with just days before."
BSU student Justin Baxter described the years of bullying and taunting he endured in both middle and high school in Sandpoint, Idaho. Walking home one day after a bullying incident in his gym class locker-room, Baxter was struck in the head with a glass bottle. He fell unconscious to the grown breaking his nose as his attackers kicked him.
"People do no understand what it is like to be in that kind of darkness," said Baxter. Continue reading

Saké—Japan's Traditional BrewSeptember 1, 2006 - Gregg Glaser
Saké, the national drink of Japan, is an alcoholic beverage brewed from rice. By strict definition, brewing from grains (such as rice) makes saké a beer. Rice in beer is shunned by serious brewers and beer lovers, so what's going on here? Is saké simply light beer?

New theater shooting prosecutor has mixed record in death-penalty cases
When announcing the hiring of prosecutor Daniel Zook on Wednesday, the 18th Judicial District Attorney's office made sure to mention prominently his expertise in death-penalty cases.
"Dan is the most experienced death penalty prosecutor in the state of Colorado and a national expert on these cases," 18th Judicial District DA George Brauchler said in a statement, which came in a press release headlined "Top Colorado Homicide Prosecutor Dan Zook Hired by Eighteenth Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler."
The highlighting is understandable given that Zook is about to assume a chair in what could become the most closely watched death-penalty prosecution in state history. Brauchler hasn't yet said whether he will seek a death sentence against accused Aurora movie theater killer James Holmes, whose case Zook will take on. But Zook's hiring is a good window into Brauchler's thinking.
Zook's history of death-penalty prosecutions, though, offers another window — into how complicated and difficult such cases are. Zook has prosecuted four capital cases and won a death sentence in one of them. But none of the people Zook prosecuted has been executed or is currently on death row.
In short, the four prosecutions show there is no such thing as an easy death-penalty case in Colorado.


text: There is a race war coming, folks. Mark my words and the wheels of this have been turning for some time and it's planned, not spontaneous. The Trayvone Martin case is just the fuse on this bomb. Obama and his cast of clowns have been building toward this since his campaign in 2008. Remember the comments about him not looking like the presidents on the dollar bill? The "clinging to guns and God" comment? Not to mention that ever since, any, and I do mean ANY criticism of Obama was deemed as racist on every level. And now this whole Martin shooting is the icing on the cake and the fuse is lit and it will explode in November if Dear Leader is not re-elected. The enraged blacks(the one's who were enraged in the first place and who are always enraged) are going to use his defeat as an excuse to riot all over the country. Mark my words. This WILL happen. And Obama and his collection of race pimps are going to be to blame.

Good job! The pics of Seji are cute! ^^
Good stuff! Nice colouring, too! ^^
And.. Now I can pronounce En'Chin right, and Keriel too! ^^
I still have a habit of saying them the wrong way, though, because of how they're spelled.. but hey, its a start, right?
You know what would be funny!? If I would go visit you at your SoC booth at ComicCon and say all their names right!!! (but.. I highly doubt that would happen. Mainly, because its too far away. Only way I'd be able (and allowed) to go to a KeenCon or a ComicCon, was if it was in Detroit. (Or.. Toronto, or London.. but I'd doubt they'd have it there.. ESPECIALLY in London.)
And it would NEVER happen in Windsor. Boy are we the hickiest city! (We only have 1 big mall! And its still not even <i>that</i> big! And.. We only have 3 movie theaters! 2 which are those "Big screen" ones.. and overpriced.. we finally got ONLY ONE little one back!) Its sad, really. For a city with slightly over 200 000 people, you'd think we'd have more to do. But we don't.
Well.. Ja mata!

MORRISON — Byron outfielders stood hat in hand waving off gnats on a buggy Thursday night.
"It was horrible. We brought bug spray and even that didn't help," Byron coach Ray Bielskis said.
Erie/Prophetstown waved at Nathan Peterson's pitches with no better results. Peterson struck out nine and allowed three hits in six scoreless innings of Byron's 8-1 Class 2A sectional semifinal victory.
Peterson struck out the first three batters of the game. "At that point, I knew it was going to be a good game for me," he said.
Erie/Prophetstown (14-13) kept it close by picking three Tigers off base and throwing a fourth out stealing, but Jack Fleeger singled and scored in the second and ripped an RBI double in the third for a 2-0 lead.
"I haven't been driving the ball as well as I should, so it's good to see me hit the ball with some power," Fleeger said.
Sophomore Tyler Rowland tripled and scored in the fourth to make it 3-0 and twice saved runs by ranging deep in the hole to make the final out in the second and fourth innings.
"Nathan is a good pitcher and he deserves good defense," Rowland said.
"Tyler made some great plays," Bielskis said. "He saved two runs for sure, and he makes those plays every day in practice."
Aurora Christian 3, Warren/Stockton 2: Byron (33-3) will play Aurora Christian (16-11) in the finals 11 a.m. Saturday after the Eagles edged Warren/Stockton on three unearned runs in the fourth. J.T. Baksha, who also threw a complete game in the regional finals, struck out 13 and the Warhawks (30-3) made two errors to start the fourth. Still, the Eagles wouldn't have scored except for a pop fly high above the lights that fell unseen for a fluke double in left field.
"It's a rough one," coach James Nielsen said. "We have a fantastic left fielder, but if you can't see the ball, there's not much you can do. It was that dusk type of period. We practiced at this time, because we knew it would be a problem, but it was just the wrong time to hit that."
