I was delighted to be invited to speak, on work undertaken in the EU on prostitution, at the launch of OBJECT and eaves' new DEMAND CHANGE! campaign in Parliament yesterday afternoon.
Two powerful and inspiring organisations, OBJECT, is a campaigning organisation which is fundamentally against the objectification of women. And eaves is a London based feminist charity that provides supported housing to vulnerable women, women trafficked into prostitution, and those who have experienced domestic violence.
The new joint initiative between eaves and OBJECT – DEMAND CHANGE! – aims to promote an increased understanding of the myths and realities surrounding prostitution; calls for prostitution to be seen and widely understood as a form of violence against women; and is lobbying for the adoption of the 'Nordic model' of tackling demand and decriminalising women in prostitution.
As an ardent supporter of the Nordic model, of tackling trafficking and violence against women through prostitution by criminalising the purchase of sex, I wholly support the DEMAND CHANGE! campaign and its aims. I believe campaigns such as these are key to changing the public perceptions and entrenched cultural attitudes towards the sale of women's bodies for sex, which is is the only route towards the UK adopting the Nordic model to reduce this intolerable violence against women, children and men.
This event was a great opportunity to take back the battle ground on prostitution from the garish vocalists for pimps and punters The English Collection of Prostitutes and the International Union of Sex Workers. Who interestingly, now that legislation on lap-dancing clubs and prostitution have now passed out of the Commons, were not present at the event. A key indication of the sorts of people that are behind these frighteningly naive organisations, which deny figures on trafficking and offer up prostitution as a feminist choice when the clear reality is that no one would ever wish this destructive and demeaning career on anyone whom they cared about.
In my speech I discussed the European Parliament's women's committee's inability to agree on the issue of prostitution due to the very varied legislation of each member state. As heated debate on the topic of the health of prostitutes, in the socialist group of the FEMM committee, showed last year, prostitution remains the last great feminist taboo.

Facebook Local Search feature is expected to go into giant sleeping, as there are many opportunities to tap into for local businesses. Facebook Local Search needs to take few initiatives to improve upon this area.
There is no doubt that Google wins over by huge figures, when it comes to local search. FourSquare and Yelp also have respectable sized audience, but they face challenges of fragmented small and medium businesses. Yelp brings out product focus with direct local ad sales. There are Yellow pages, but nobody to focus on locale and mobile products.
In this run, Facebook is not counted and thus, is called "sleeping giant" within local. At user end, Facebook is back and forth on places and check-ins. Though nearby feature is branded as 'local search', but it's not in limelight because of User-interface aspect. At one end, where Google is known for best advertising, like advertising at a store, while at other end, Facebook is like advertising a party. Will Facebook be able to bring the needed changes or wake up out of the sleep?
Facebook has an opportunity to handle local searches and there is a positive sign that few weeks back, there were some impressive figures to support local search usage. The announcement at local Search Association brought to light that around 70 percent of Facebook users are linked to at least on local business page. Above it, it should not be ignored that Facebook has second largest application usage for local search. However, it is still sleeping. What would be the effect, if it pushes hard on local search?
Many experts believe that the improved figures would be a pleasant surprise. Though Facebook is trying to give exposure to Small and medium business, but local search is till underdevelopment. The product updates would have local features for users as well as merchant tool too for pages. It would be easy to fix an appointment for home services, getting coupons and offers for retail, beauty spa and restaurants.
Google Graph would add relevance further. Integrating Facebook with Graph Search, mobile news feed and Local Search would give an opportunity to buyers and sellers to connect. It would be easy both for users and companies to involve in engagement. Business would get local customers and users in turn would get reviews, feedback of various product and services in proximity. Merging of local advertising with user experience would be lot beneficial. This opportunity can be bifurcated in mobiles and can become the part of mobile marketing. Thus, there is a need for Facebook Local Search to wake up from this giant sleep and take the needed initiatives.

SANAA (Reuters) - A British teacher has been reported missing in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, a Yemeni security source said on Thursday, suggesting he may have been kidnapped.
The source told Reuters a woman had reported to a local police station that her husband, a Briton who teaches English at a language centre in Sanaa, had not returned home on Wednesday night.
The source said police were investigating and did not rule out the possibility that the man might have been abducted.
A British Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of reports and are making inquiries locally."
Kidnapping of foreigners in Yemen is common. The U.S. ally, with a population of 25 million, is trying to overcome nearly three years of political turmoil, which began when mass protests erupted in 2011 against Ali Abdullah Saleh, the president of 33 years, who has since stepped down.
Most kidnappings end peacefully with the hostages being freed unharmed.
Earlier this month, Yemeni tribesmen contacted journalists to announce they had kidnapped a German man to press the government to free jailed relatives. They said the man was being held in Maarib province, a tribal stronghold in the centre of Yemen.
Militants linked to al Qaeda are holding a South African citizen, identified as Pierre Korkie, after last month freeing his wife, who was kidnapped with him in mid-2013.
South Africa said it was sending a top diplomat to negotiate the release of Korkie after the militants threatened to kill him if they did not receive $3 million.
Among its many security problems, Yemen is grappling with a growing threat from one of the most active wings of al Qaeda, which has killed hundreds of people in a series of attacks on state and military facilities over the past two years.

SAN JOSE — A man found stabbed to death on a secluded road in South San Jose last week has been identified, but there is no more clarity regarding what led to his death, authorities said.
Jose Gamez, 36, described as a transient living in San Jose, was found by a motorist around 1:20 a.m. Thursday in the 500 block of Piercy Road. Responding officers found Gamez lying on the sidewalk and partly on an unlit roadway, according to San Jose police.
No disturbance calls were reported prior to the discovery of Gamez's body, police said.
Neither suspects nor a motive has been released.
The death marked the city's 18th homicide of the year. At the same point in 2013, the city had recorded 22 homicides.
Anyone with information about the Thursday's killing can contact Detective Sgt. Andrew Binder or Detective Jason Tanner at 408-277-5283 or leave a tip with Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at 408-947-STOP (7867) or with svcrimestoppers.org.

CINCINNATI - The last of the Doolittle Raiders from World War II will make their final toast together in a Nov. 9 ceremony at the national Air Force museum in southwest Ohio.
An Air Force museum spokesman told The Associated Press on Thursday that all four remaining survivors of the 1942 bombing attack on Japan plan to participate. All are in their 90s.
By tradition, the Raiders reunite each year and toast "those who have gone" from the original 80. They use special silver goblets with engraved names. For years, the plan was for the last two survivors to make the final toast. However, after Maj. Thomas Griffin of Cincinnati died in February at age 96, it was decided to have a final ceremony this year because of the survivors' advancing ages.
The toast ritual grew from reunions led by Lt. Col. James "Jimmy" Doolittle, who commanded the mission credited with helping change the course of the war in the aftermath of Japan's Pearl Harbor attack and a string of Japanese successes in the Pacific region.
"While the attack itself caused little actual damage to the Japanese war industry, the psychological impact on the Japanese military and the American public proved to be immense," retired Lt. Gen. Jack Hudson, the museum director, said in a statement. He said the museum is "deeply honored" to host the final toast.
Expected in Ohio are Lt. Col. Richard Cole of Comfort, Texas; Lt. Col. Edward Saylor of Puyallup, Wash.; Master Sgt. David Thatcher of Missoula, Mont., and Lt. Col. Robert Hite of Nashville, Tenn. Hite has missed reunions in recent years because of health issues, but museum spokesman Rob Bardua said his family plans to make every effort to get him to the ceremony.
Cole will turn 98 on Saturday. He is a native of Dayton and the oldest of the surviving Raiders.
Acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning and Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh III plan to attend the invitation-only event. There will be public events including a wreath-laying ceremony and a B-25 flyover.
Cole, Saylor and Thatcher reunited in April at Eglin Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle, where they had trained for their top-secret mission. Last year, the Raiders had a 70th anniversary reunion at the National Museum of the Air Force near Dayton. It included survivors and relatives of the crew of the USS Hornet, the carrier that launched the land-based B-25 bombers for the attack. Survivors and relatives of Chinese villagers who helped Raiders elude Japanese capture also attended.
The 16 planes lacked fuel to reach safe bases after the raid. Three Raiders died off China, three were executed by the Japanese and another died in captivity.
The goblets have names engraved twice, to be read right-side-up for the living, and upside-down for the deceased. The city of Tucson, Ariz., presented the Raiders with the goblets in 1959. Doolittle died in 1993.

Buyer's guide: headphones for music making
Buying a set of headphones for music making can be a tricky business: how do you know what to look for and which models are worthy of consideration?
In this buyer's guide we'll answer the most frequently asked headphones-related questions and assess the relative merits of six pairs of cans.
First, one of the most common queries…
Can't I just use my 'normal' headphones?
The cheap 'phones we use with mobiles or mp3 players aren't up to serious recording. Better are larger sets that cover the ears fully (circumaural), comfortably and with good sound isolation both in and out. Consumer/mp3 player focused headphones (even the expensive ones) tend to follow a kind of make-the-masses-happy frequency response that might be fine for your iPod on the bus, but it's not really what you want for recording: you want accurate and highly revealing.
How important is frequency response?
Very… to a point. It's worth knowing that good human hearing spans approximately 20Hz to 20kHz. You feel frequencies below 20Hz, it should be said, but most commercial recordings gradually roll off everything over 20kHz.
Can you mix tracks using headphones?
You can, but the consensus of opinion from professionals is that headphones should play a secondary role to quality monitor speakers. That said, many recordists edit and mix on the road (or indeed the plane, train or bus), making headphones a must.
Power handling and sensitivity?
Power is usually quoted as 'max' (could be handled for a short space of time) and 'nominal' (regular, prolonged use). Your iPod outputs around 30mW per channel at 32 ohms. A quality headphone amp can be over 1.5 watts (1500mW) at 600 ohms. Sensitivity describes the sound pressure level for a given voltage; in short, higher sensitivity means higher perceived loudness, just like with loudspeakers.
What about impedances?
The higher the impedance rating, the more power is required to drive them. Between 30 and 80 ohms will work fine off your mp3 player, laptop or what have you (they work on lower operating voltages), and they play 'louder' with lower power. Get up to 250 ohms and over, and you'll need a headphone amplifier or audio interface for optimum performance. Higher impedance, high-quality headphones used with quality amplification will sound more 'natural' and revealing than low-impedance types running straight off your laptop.
Open or closed-back?
Open-back (and semi-open back) headphones let air circulate through perforations in the back of the earcups and will let some sound bleed out. They can offer a more natural reproduction of music than closed-back headphones and would be a preferred choice for mixing, though you can of course mix using closed-backs. For recording, it's more about the practicalities: a good set of closed-back headphones - crucially - won't let sound spill out into your mics, and will also offer better sound isolation from outside noise.
Why are 'good' headphones so expensive?
For all the reasons above! Getting an accurate, high-quality, revealing sound requires a lot of high-quality components and exacting build standards. Add to that durable materials with replaceable parts for prolonged, professional use and the price starts creeping up.
NEXT: Six pairs of headphones on test
Audio-Technica ATH-M50, £149
Labelled as 'Monitor Headphones', Audio-Technica's intention is clear for the ATH-M50s, which feature swivel-mounted ear cups to minimise the profile.
The oval-shaped pads cover your ears completely for a very useful degree of isolation both in and out, while the partially coiled lead gives you plenty of freedom of movement. The lead terminates in a stereo mini-jack with a screw-on standard jack so you can use the 'phones with pro equipment and electronic items with smaller socketry.
We like: Foldability; good isolation; sound
We dislike: The white finish
The ATH-M50s are loud and vibrant with a well-balanced sound. We'd be worried about getting our white set grubby, but they are available in black.
4 out of 5
Audio-Technica ATH-M50 specs
- Type: Closed-back headphones
- Freq response: 15-28,000Hz
- Sensitivity: 99dB
- Impedance: 38 ohms
- Quoted input power: 1600mW
- Connections: Stereo mini jack with screw-on 6.4mm stereo jack
- Cabling: 1.2-3m coiled (captive)
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, £167
If you've been in a pro studio, you'll have probably used Beyerdynamic's DT 100 headphones - an industry standard in tracking for what seems like forever. The DT 770 Pro is a newer design, and offers large, velvet-covered, circular pads that totally cover the ears.
Adjustable and comfortable on the head, these provide a classy listening experience with extended bass response. We'd like a removable cable like on the DT 100, but we like that the ear pads are replaceable.
We like: Velvet earpads; comfortable; excellent sound
We dislike: Excessive bass
Comfortable to wear and with an open and balanced sound, the DT 770 headphones are great all-rounders - a fine choice for leisure listening as well as for studio work.
4.5 out of 5
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro specs
- Type: Closed-back headphones
- Freq response: 5-35,000Hz
- Sensitivity: 96dB
- Impedance: 80 ohms
- Quoted input power: 100mW
- Connections: Stereo mini jack with screw-on 6.4mm stereo jack
- Cabling: 3m straight (captive)
These K 271 MK IIs are packed with clever ideas. Thanks to the switch in the headband, the audio mutes when they're taken off, so you don't have to worry about feedback if a singer slips them off and hangs them next to the mic. Simple, easy.
There's no messing with adjusting the huge circular earpads, either - they're permanently fixed to a metal frame. Slip them on and the plastic band automatically moves upwards to the most suitable position: genius. You also get two detachable leads.
We like: Light; comfortable; detachable leads; sound
We dislike: Nothing
With a superbly clear balance of frequencies, lightweight and extra practicality for pro use, these are our choice for extended studio work.
5 out of 5
AKG K 271 MK II specs
- Type: Closed-back headphones
- Freq response: 16-28,000Hz
- Sensitivity: 96dB
- Impedance: 55 ohms
- Quoted input power: 200mW
- Connections: Stereo mini jack with screw-on 6.4mm stereo jack
- Cabling: 3m straight and 5m coiled (both detachable)
Sony MDR-7510, £136
Sony might be better known for its TVs and consumer goods, but the company has a long history of professional studio products, such as the MDR-7510 and MDR-7520 headphones.
A simple, ergonomic design, the MDR-7510s sit snugly on the head, their elongated oval ear pads angled ever so slightly for a perfect fit. The Sonys have a clear sound, with less emphasis on the midrange and a brighter tonality that rivals more expensive sets.
We like: Loud; uncluttered design; easy to wear
We dislike: Nothing
While the design, including the cradles for the earpieces, appears to use a lot of plastic, it seems robust enough, and we'd take these any time as a good reasonably priced workaday tracking tool.
4 out of 5
Sony MDR-7510 specs
- Type: Closed-back headphones
- Freq response: 5-40,000Hz
- Sensitivity: 106dB
- Impedance: 24 ohms
- Quoted input power: 2000mW
- Connections: Stereo mini jack with screw-on 6.4mm stereo jack
- Cabling: 1-3m coiled (captive)
Shure SRH840, £189
More guitar amps have been captured with Shure's SM57 than with any other mic, so why not listen to the results with the company's cans?
The SRH840s have two extra joints in their construction that allow them to fold into a fairly compact size for transportation, but are heavier than the others and take a little more in the way of headband adjustment to position the ear pads. Some of the other 'phones on test are easier to wear for long periods.
We like: Folding design; sound
We dislike: Less comfortable than the others on test
While all of the headphones looked at here can be purchased for considerably less than the SRPs that we quote, on paper these are the most expensive, and offer a classy sonic performance to match.
4 out of 5
Shure SRH840 specs
- Type: Closed-back headphones
- Freq response: 5-25,000Hz
- Sensitivity: 102dB
- Impedance: 44 ohms
- Quoted input power: 1000mW
- Connections: Stereo mini jack with screw-on 6.4mm stereo jack
- Cabling: 3m coiled (detachable)
Fostex T40RP MKII, £132
Fostex has been making multitrackers for over 30 years, so should have some insight into what cans work best on the end of them.
The most basic of this bunch, the T40RP MkIIs offer a rugged design, with a rubbercoated headband and easy adjustment mechanism. These 'phones make no concessions to mini jacks, sporting a straight lead that terminates in a 6.4mm plug. Compared with the best of the others on test, there's some top-end sparkle lacking.
We like: Built to take abuse; easy adjustment
We dislike: No mini jack
Not the best sounding, but the T40RP MkII won't let you down on a tracking session - they're the pair that would best survive being thrown across the room by a petulant diva!
3.5 out of 5
Fostex T40RP MkII specs
- Type: Closed-back headphones
- Freq response: 15-30,000Hz
- Sensitivity: 96dB
- Impedance: 50 ohms
- Quoted input power: 2000mW
- Connections: 6.4mm jack
- Cabling: 3m straight (detachable)

I've just read that Legia has signed Llevant's Captain Iñaki Descarga.
Believe me when I tell you this is not something that makes me happy, because I would have liked him always to stay at Llevant, but he's one of the greatest professional I've ever seen at football.
He's maybe not a very skilled player but he's going to do whatever he can to help your club to achieve your goals.
I want to ask you to treat him as good as you can because he deserves it.
Thank you Iñaki and good luck.

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. (AP) Jordan Heath posted his first double-double of the season and Canisius dominated the second half to defeat Rider 67-50 Friday night, snapping the Broncs' five-game winning streak.
Heath tied his career high with 17 points and grabbed a career-best 13 rebounds for the Golden Griffins (13-7, 6-3 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference), who have won three straight. Billy Baron also scored 17 points, with Isaac Sosa adding 12 and Chris Manhertz 10.
The first half featured seven lead changes, with Canisius ahead 27-24 at the break. After the Golden Griffins opened the second half on a 13-4 run, they went on to outshoot the Broncs from the field after intermission, 61.5 percent (16 of 26) to 32 percent (8 of 25).
Canisius, which came in ranked second in the MAAC and fifth nationally in 3-pointers (9.2 average) was 9-of-24 shooting from long range,
Tommy Pereira's 11 points led Rider (11-10, 6-3).

Ansar al-Sharia sets up shop in Mali
[Magharebia] Malian Islamists last Sunday (December 9th) announced the creation of their own "
Ansar al-Sharia
...a Yemeni Islamist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends...
" group in Gao, the largest city in northern Mali.
Most of the new group's leaders hail from the Barabiche tribe in Timbuktu and are close to Ansar al-Din official
front man
Sanad Ould Bouamama.
According to Mauritania's al-Akhbar, the announcement raises the number of
s in the region known as Azawad to five: Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb's Sahara emirate, the Movement for Tawhid and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), al-Qaeda's El Moulethemine Brigade, Ansar al-Din and now Ansar al-Sharia.
Creating such a group at this time came as no surprise, since the terrorist groups and allied movements believe that Ansar al-Sharia, whose influence has been growing in the Maghreb, represents a real solution for the northern Mali crisis.
According to Djazair News, new intelligence reports have confirmed that al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) leaders in northern Mali are exerting concerted efforts to establish links with Ansar al-Sharia in Libya so they can set up a base to hit Western interests in the region in response to calls for waging a war on terrorist groups in Mali.
The Daily Telegraph reported on December 4th that AQIM leaders "regularly travel to Ghat, a desert town in south-western Libya near the border with Niger".
"Their aim is to establish a foothold in Libya from which to launch attacks against Western targets, as well as gaining access to the large stockpiles of weapons -- including Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles -- that were looted by Libyan rebels during the fall of Colonel Moamer Qadaffy's regime at the end of last year," the paper reported.
"In return, AQIM is offering to provide Libyan Islamist groups with training and finance," The Telegraph added.
A number of weapons from Qadaffy's arsenal have made their way to Islamists in Algeria and Tunisia, Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki recently told World Today magazine.
At the same time, the leader of Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia called for waging jihad against those whom he described as enemies of religion in Tunisia.
Ansar al-Sharia first appeared in Yemen in April 2011, where the group was established by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The group is largely believed to have been created in response to
the late Osama bin Laden
... who used to be alive but now he's not...
's request to rebrand al-Qaeda.
"The armed Islamist groups now take promotional names through which they seek to win the sympathy of general
populations," explained Abdallah Ould El Nah, a researcher in security and defence affairs.
s present themselves as supporters of Islam, whether as a religion or Sharia, although they are far away from its tolerant teachings and peaceful call," he added.
Ansar al-Sharia in northern Mali is just one part of an organization that is expanding virally. In addition to branches in Tunisia and Yemen, similar groups have sprung up in Morocco and Libya, where Ansar al-Sharia was blamed for the terror attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
All of the groups share a common jihadist ideology, according to a document written by a Mauritanian salafist preacher and posted to online forums.
Abu Mondhar al-Chinguetti wrote last May that the new groups were based on certain principles, such as "opposition to democracy, jihadist salafist ideology, the dream of establishing Islamic emirates as per their own unilateral views, and attempts to impose restrictions on freedoms".

If anyone is qualified to create an Interdimensional Shift Glove it's the man that flexed his interdimensional muscles s dozen times over the course of three different television series. John "Q" de Lancie steps into the disembodied voice of Professor Fitz Quadwrangle in Airtight Games' Quantum Conundrum.
Now here's a man that's perfectly happy being typecast. As Star Trek's Q de Lancie mastered the art of portraying an aloof, self-absorbed know-it-all. At this point it's just reflex for him. Hell, he even played a similar role in the first two episodes of the second season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It just goes to show there's always room for a little Q.

AMCIS 2015 "Blue Ocean Research"
The 21st Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) was held at El Conquestador on the outskirts of Fajardo in Puerto Rico, from 12 – 15 August 2015. "Blue Ocean Research" was the theme of the conference—a preeminent research conference in the information systems discipline conducted under the auspices of Association of Information Systems (AIS). Each year, AMCIS attracts close to a thousand attendees (this year it was 965) principally from North America but this year, 48 countries were presented. All papers submitted to AMCIS were subjected to a rigorous blind peer-review process (AMCIS is ranked as an A conference, see http://www.core.edu.au/index.php/conference-rankings).
The conference program included research paper presentations, research panels, keynotes, CIO (Information Technology Director) panels, doctoral consortiums, posters sessions and interestingly "Open Placement". Open Placement is a forum where Universities can interview prospective academic personnel. Each day of the conference Open Placement sessions were held from 8h00 to 17h00.

The Importance of Being Earnest
We review Gerald Barry's new opera
How can you improve on perfection? – or rather, The Importance of Being Earnest? In anyone else's hands Wilde's absurd plot, linguistic fireworks, and devastating one-liners would be drowned, dragged back and distorted by any form of musical setting. But Gerald Barry is a one-off. In his new opera, he explodes the play and releases the Fenian frenzy at its heart.
The music, for starters, is the very opposite of Wilde's language. Brassy, raucous and syncopated, it hurls itself forward in a delirium of virtuosity. More brass than wind, more wind than strings, the ensemble is a devilish type of dance-band, with which Barry conjures Stravinskian naughtiness, military pomp, sleaze, swing, 12-tone high-jinks and – miracle of all miracles – some rather catchy melodies. As Jack and Algernon fight obliquely over the muffins, it's the instrumentalists who tie themselves in musical knots. And the upper class passion for German is given a hilarious send-up in Barry's lofty setting of the 'Ode to Joy'.
He brings his own humour to the table, too, which never competes with Wilde's deathless lines, but flies in from another planet: Lady Bracknell is played as a basso profondo (Alan Ewing, sadly, not in drag), the leading ladies spar icily via village fête-type megaphones; a pianist sits at the piano while a recording of a piano riffs on Auld Lang Syne, while extreme emotional reactions to the play's revelations are delivered via cacophonous horns, ridiculous repeated cadences, a (literal) hammer blow or – the pièce de resistance – 40 china plates being shattered after every syllable of Cecily and Gwendolyn's catfight. Some of the musical humour is plain slapstick: coloratura screeching, lots of contrabassoon and tuba, and the whole orchestra marching and whistling as Gwendolyn and Cecily waft across the lawn back to the house.
This was a second outing for Thomas Adès and the BCMG, who premiered it last year in Los Angeles. Adès makes the score dance, and his players were ablaze with brilliance, though sometimes their furious activity overwhelmed the singers, and one could see how much better it would be with the players in a pit. Coloratura Barbara Hannigan was very funny as Cecily, though we could have done with more cut-glass accents from both her and Hungarian soprano Katalin Károlyi, whose English was vague. Curly-haired Algernon (Joshua Bloom) and Jack (Peter Tantsits) were convincing as the two hapless 'Earnests', and Hilary Summers is an indelible Miss Prism.
This is a piece of inspired theatre, crying out for a stage: who will be first?

In a study reminiscent of the back-and-forth over whether beta carotene increases lung cancer risk in smokers or not, a study now suggests that curcumin too can increase the risk of lung cancer development when cancer-promoting factors like smoking, or a history of smoking, are present. As a possible mechanism for this effect, the researchers suggested that curcumin may promote cancer in smokers by accelerating the formation of free radicals in damaged lung tissue.

There is no doubt in our minds that Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T. and we genuflect out of respect for his basketball skills and accomplishments at both the NCAA and NBA levels. Outside of former Philadelphia Warrior legend and City of Brotherly Love native Wilt Chamberlain and possibly Bill Russell, perhaps no individual is more deserving of induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame then Michael. Hoops web sites all over the world will be paying homage to #23 today and rightly so.
However, Philadunkia is a blog dedicated to the Philadelphia 76ers – the good and the bad; on and off the court. So even though we realize that MJ absolutely owned our home team during his playing days – from the 56 he dropped on Barkley back in 1987 to the "Stackhouse Game" to the 30 spot he hung on Iverson as a Wizard – we still felt that since this is a 76er loyal site, we should "flip the script" as they say and run down a list of the best moments in 76ers history that occurred at the expense of Air Jordan and his teammates.
Here is our list of the Top 5 moments in which the 76ers somehow managed to stick it to Michael Jordan:
5. December 17, 2006— With a 106-96 victory, the Philadelphia 76ers ended a 16-game series losing streak to MJ and the Bulls by defeating the Bulls for the first time in over four years. The 76ers had not beaten the Bulls since December 8th, 1993, a span that included seven home games. Philadunkia's home team experienced three coaching changes, four 50-loss seasons and two separate stints by Derrick Coleman in a Sixers uniform since that last W in 1993. In the mean time, the Bulls averaged 63 wins and won two NBA titles.
The Sixers won behind 31 points from Allen Iverson and Derrick Coleman scored 10 of his 18 points in the third quarter. Scottie Pippen scored 22 points and "His Airness" added 20 for the Bulls.
4. November 16, 1988— At the Spectrum "America's Showplace" and an arena that Jordan had no fear of at all, then 76ers forward Charles Barkley posted a monster double-double — 42 points and 16 rebounds — that enabled the Sixers to survive a 52 point outburst by Chicago's Michael Jordan and win 123-110. The 76ers held a 104-82 lead with 8:40 remaining in the game, when Jordan did well, what Jordan used to do. He caught fire and scored 11 points during a 20-8 run by the Bulls that slashed the lead to 112-102 with 2:47 left. But that was as close as Chicago would get on this night.
Barkley shot 18-25 on the night, which is a ridiculous .720 field goal percentage. Jordan was even better, making 19 of 25 shots for an unconscious .828 percentage. MJ broke the Spectrum record of 51 held by Moses Malone set against Detroit on Nov. 4, 1984. He also had 9 rebounds and 4 steals.
3. March 12, 1997— One of the few highlights from that 22-60 season. After some controversial comments in December of the 1996-97 season by rookie Allen Iverson in which he basically stated that he feared no one in the NBA and that the other players would have to earn his respect, A.I. received a stern warning from MJ that Iverson may not respect others in the League, but "You have to respect us."
When the two met in March of that same season, it was on. The rookie and the G.O.A.T. spent much of the game going at each other, trading baskets as if they were the only two on the court. Then in the 3rdquarter, Iverson was iso'd on Jordan at the top of the key and after a nice setup he hit Jordan with his infamous killer crossover, broke MJ's ankles and dropped a sweet J in for two of his 37 points. The reverse angle isn't an easier on Jordan's ankles. This play is arguably the most famous "clowning" of Jordan available on video tape.
2. May 11, 1991— Despite suffering from tendinitis in his left knee and limping badly throughout Game 3 of the 1991 Eastern Conference Semifinals, Jordan puts on a spectacular 46-point performance. However in front of a packed house at the Spectrum, the Sixers got 29 points from dead-eyed shooter Hersey Hawkins including the game winner, to go with 19 points from "Sir Charles" as well as 25 points from Barkley's best friend Armon Gilliam and walked off with a thrilling 99-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Jordan shot the lights out at the old building on 20-for-34 shooting from the field, but the Sixers still found a way to win. Hawkins scored 25 of his 29 points in the second half. The W left the Sixers down 2-1 in a best-of-seven-series that they would eventually lose 4-1.
Hawkins' game-winning basket, was a 3-point shot from the deep right corner with 10.3 seconds remaining. The tri-fecta came on a set play drawn up by Jim Lynam during a timeout. With the Bulls holding a 97-95 lead, Spectrum favorite Ron Anderson in-bounded the ball to Barkley. Chuck then drove to the basket with Horace Grant hanging all over him and as the Bulls' defense went to help Grant and converged on Barkley, Chuck fed "The Hawk" who was standing alone in the corner. Hawkins did not hesitate at all – BUCKETS. The snapping of the twine sent Hawkins and Barkley into a hug-athon, but it was a premature victory celebration.
The 10.3 seconds remaining was more then enough time for Chicago to tie or even win the contest, especially with MJ as hot as he was that game. But the G.O.A.T. wouldn't even get a chance to save the Bulls on this night. Scottie Pippen in-bounded to Bill Cartwright, who dropped the pill back to Pippen. Pippen, who was being guarded by then Sixer defensive stopper Ron Andersen, put the ball on the deck and drove toward the key. Anderson with help from Barkley, closed down the lane and instead of passing the rock, Scottie decided to launch an ill-advised leaner which bricked off the backboard. Gilliam grabbed the rebound, game over.
1. April 16, 2003— Jordan who had returned from his second retirement and was then rocking #23 for the Washington Wizards played the final game of his insane career here in Philadelphia and needless to say his storied basketball life ended in a way that could not have pleased Mike. Jordan finished with 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during a 107-87 loss to the 76ers that sent Jordan into retirement forever with a losing taste in his mouth.
But all 21,257 Sixers fans stayed classy throughout the lopsided victory. As he sat on the bench late in the 3rd quarter and throughout most of the 4th, the First Union Center crowd began chanting "We want Mike!, We want Mike!". He answered the calls and returned to the game for a little more burn with just over two minutes left. When MJ finally exited the floor for good with 1:44 remaining in the 4th quarter, Jordan received a three-minute standing ovation from his teammates, his opponents, and the Philly crowd.
He drank it all in with his trademark smile and a wave to the crowd. After the game Jordan said, "This is the final retirement…The Philly people did a great job. They gave me the biggest inspiration, in a sense." Jordan continued, "Obviously, they wanted to see me make a couple of baskets and then come off. That was very, very respectful, and I had a good time."

Do companies care if their staff is happy? No it's not a trick question, some do, and the way they show it is in sponsoring opportunities that benefit employees. The Marlin Company, a Wallingford workplace communications publisher, takes it one step further, and held a massage day, Friday, to keep staff relaxed.
For a ten-minute spot all that was required was an r.s.v.p. Two Licensed Massage Therapists, Carol Starrett and Jenny Mooney, set up chairs on site and made a lot of people feel better.
For desk-bound workers sitting in one place for long periods of time can cause stiff necks, and lower back problems. "It's important to get up and stretch periodically," said Starrett who also is a licensed LPN. Starrett says she became a massage therapist simply because she enjoys learning about the body and helping people improve their overall health.
While administering the massage Starrett checks in with client's concerns, asking them if the pressure being applied is ok. There were no objections. Three women each said they felt great after their ten minute massage and even though it was short, being able to relax had an immediate effect on their body.
Typically during a massage session that can last one hour, a client can opt to concentrate on problem areas. There are several different kinds of massage techniques such as Reiki, Shiatsu, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Sports, Neuromuscular, and Rolfing that concentrate on specific areas.
In order to practice massage therapy licensing is required and the terms vary by state. In Connecticut 5oo hours of classroom time in an accredited school, followed by exam and course fees apply. For a full description outlining Connecticut requirements visit Department of Health link.
Massage can also improve headaches associated with prolonged eye strain from staring at a screen. Simple sets of repetitive shoulder rotation may reduce muscle tension that can cause chronic headaches.
Starrett offered other techniques such as setting up your workstation and your position in the chair in an ergonomic fashion. If a person wears bifocals, it's important that the reading height is comfortable to avoid straining the neck to read the screen.
The timing of massage is always right, but was particularly delightful on the Friday before a long Memorial Day weekend.What a nice send off for the holiday!
Carol Starrett's company 'Star Touch Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork' offers services in the Meriden, Cheshire, Southington, Wallingford and surrounding communities and can be reached via email at email@example.com until website is finalized.

The Chase brother worth rooting for — no, not the handsome one with the blank look stapled to his face — will finally get his payday. With the help of Andrew Dice Clay, Johnny Drama stood up to the network and made them cave to their actors' strike. "Johnny Bananas," the cartoon show with promise, will make it to the air, and most importantly, Dice will be his sidekick. Sorry, Jamie Kennedy, but your "talents" are no longer needed. When Drama muttered "victory" in half-astonishment, half-relief, it was a nice moment for a guy who's been a punchline for many episodes.
And that was the good part. The rest of the show continues to crawl to the finish line: Vince wants to prove he's a good guy to the hot journalist, Turtle is struggling to find a business he can put his flag in, E is dealing with the repercussions of sleeping with his ex-fiance's stepmother and Ari can't stop making cracks about Bobby Flay that only an avid Food Network watcher could appreciate. Even Jeremy Piven, whose character's divorce storyline is somewhat affecting, can only work with the script he's given. There should be no Emmy next year, and it's not Piven's fault.
There are two episodes of "Entourage" left and the show refuses to go back to what made it fun in the first place — the ups and downs of Vince's career. He has a new movie coming out but we haven't seen a clip or a trailer ("Entourage" used to create fake movies very well). Instead, we see him chasing a reporter down because he doesn't like her article. Did you ever think you'd yearn for the days of "Medellin" and its laughable ambitions? At least it felt like something mattered in Vince's life.
When there was nothing to "Entourage," you could at least claim it was dumb escapism — hot sex with beautiful women, partying, drugs, lavish spending, celebrity cameos. Now we get a quick shot with David Spade. It's "Sex and the City" but with four guys in Hollywood, and it's floundering all the way to its grave.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel called on the residents of Chicago and the politicians in Springfield in one of the most important speeches of his career Thursday as he laid out his three-point plan for fighting Chicago's ever-prominent crime problem.
The speech was delivered at Malcolm X College and included victims of the violence and crime and has long since plagued the city.
"This fight is for all of Chicago, because it is Chicago's future that is stake," he said during the speech.
U.S. & World
Emanuel grew emotional at several points during the speech when invoking murdered 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee, Nykea Aldridge who was pushing her child in a stroller on her way to enroll one of them in school, and Arshell Dennis Jr., the slain son of a Chicago police officer.
The mayor confirmed reported plans to add hundreds more sworn police positions within two years and the hiring of 500 new officers, a plan that could cost the city up to $50 million.
After four people were killed and 12 others wounded Wednesday amid a spike in gun violence making national headlines, the mayor's speech comes at a critical time in the city.
"In too many communities parents cannot even allow their children to play outside because of the fear of gun violence, of a stray bullet," Emanuel said. "They have to teach their children how to react to the all too common sound of gunfire."
Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson says more officers are necessary at a time like this in Chicago.
"There are more guns than ever before, the gangs have been split up and weakened, but in some ways that makes them less stable and predictable," he said. "It seems like they're younger and crazier than they've ever been."
Emanuel's speech also touted other methods for fighting crime like mentorship programs and job fairs for kids.
"The best anti-crime program is a job, it's that simple" he said.
The mayor also challenged fathers and other role models to play a bigger role in their children's lives saying that the only other alternative is for kids to turn to gangs.
Emanuel said he will ensure there is room in the budget for "universal mentoring" for every 8th, 9th, 10th graders, with the help of sponsors like Jimmy Johns and Exelon.
"We cannot afford to lose another generation to the gangs and the streets and the guns and the violence," he said.

This webpage offers a scientific but concise overview on mycotoxin and mycotoxin related topics with useful information for researchers, animal husbandry and agricultural entrepreneurs or simply for mycotoxin-curious minds throughout the entire supply chain.
Recently mycotoxin-related literature reviews are published regularly with the aim to provide a detailed review about a specific and current topic like e.g. synergistic effects of mycotoxins.
The annual BIOMIN Mycotoxin Survey constitutes the longest running and most comprehensive survey of its kind. The survey results provide insights on the incidence of the six major mycotoxins in the agricultural commodities used for livestock feed in order to identify the potential risk posed to livestock animal production.
Not moulds but their toxins are problematical for animals as well as for humans. They accumulate in grains and cause enormous economic losses. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and deactivate these mycotoxins in time."

While an idea may be the genesis of an entrepreneurial venture, it's the economic viability that defines its success. Drawing an analogy from the above statement, it is fair to state that while starting up a venture may be convenient to achieve, expansion of the business requires certain funding requirements apart from the initial seed capital. One of the common methods of infusing additional capital into the business is seeking external third party's investment through private placement. Being less compliance-oriented from a regulatory standpoint, such investments in the equity share capital of the company are commonly preferred through private equity funds or venture capital funds. The entity making such investments may be referred to as the "Investor" for purposes of further discussions.
Third Party Investments:
Seeking third party's investment in the business is a viable option for the industry and there are several professionally managed private equity funds and venture capital funds that are willing to fund the business through investments in the company ("Company"). Investments are typically structured through subscription in the equity or preference share capital of the Company and shares are usually issued at a premium. The Investor prefers to have a representation in the Board of Directors of the Company through its nominee director(s) having certain affirmative voting rights on critical financial and management issues related to the Company.
Investment Terms:
The issues related to the share holding pattern, issue price of the shares issued to the Investor, control and management of the Company, reserved matters requiring affirmative voting rights of the Investor (or its representatives), representation on Board of Directors, etc., are addressed in detail in the Joint Venture and Shareholders' Agreement ("Investment Documents") that are executed in relation to the investment. While the funding provides the necessary fuel for growth and expansion of the Company, there are some important terms that should be careful in negotiating while seeking investment including:

HUMANS ARE having a hard enough time coping with the natural variability in our environment, which causes disasters such as heat waves, wildfires and floods. Just wait until climate change makes all three of those problems — and many more — worse.
That was the stern warning from the world's scientific community last week, in the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The U.N.-chartered body produced its first comprehensive report since 2007 on the changes that might accompany a rising global temperature and on humanity's potential to cope with them. It isn't encouraging. A more rational Washington wouldn't have needed this document to formulate a better plan for handling the many risks; that would have happened long ago. It's a measure of the country's dysfunctional debate on global warming — primarily the fault of Republican cynicism or senselessness — that many lawmakers want no such plan and will ignore this document, as they have many before it.
There are some things the scientists are very confident will happen in a warming world over the next century. Sea levels will rise, threatening coastal cities and low-lying nations. Island states could get hit very hard. There are probably going to be relatively more extremely hot days than extremely cold ones, and water- and food-borne illnesses will probably increase. Various sections of North America will probably be drier and more prone to wildfires, while cities will likely see more urban floods.
But part of the peril of climate change is that scientists don't have a crystal ball to foretell how, exactly, the environment will respond to rising temperatures, and they are trying to predict effects over the course of decades. The experts anticipate that forests could die off and that wetland and rain forest ecosystems could crumble. They anticipate effects on water systems just about everywhere: more flooding in many places, less water in dry areas, more humidity inhibiting human labor in wetter climes.
There could also be some positive effects for some, the experts note. They predict fewer deaths due to cold, but more due to heat. Some areas of the planet, particularly in higher latitudes, might become more fertile. But lower crop yields elsewhere will outweigh those benefits. Indeed, the planet's verdant lands along the equator might be much worse off. The scientists, for example, predict that fish and other aquatic life will flee elsewhere as ocean temperatures change. And, of course, there could be effects, good and bad, that the experts aren't anticipating. That shouldn't be comforting.
The experts leave little doubt about the right response: Cut pollution to head off the worst possible consequences and prepare for the risks the world is unlikely to avoid, given its inability to slash emissions quickly. Delaying action, they note, reduces the world's options and affords vulnerable people less time to cope.
How much change should be headed off with emissions cuts now, and how much will we simply have to cope with? How much should we pay to prepare for the risks we are unwilling to avoid? How do we get the major countries of the world all moving in the right direction? These are essential questions that should be at the heart of our political debate. But answering them demands that both parties admit there is a dangerous problem that demands attention — now.

A 1978 law that made first trimester abortions legal in Italy came under fire today when thousands opposed to the law (including some intrepid American pro-lifers) convened in Rome during a Mother's Day protest. The Associated Press reports that a motley crew of nuns, priests, and lay people took advantage of the maternal holiday to voice their displeasure with Italy's already restrictive abortion law, which seems almost paradoxical in its scope: though abortions are restricted to the first 90 days of pregnancy, women can obtain an abortion for any number of health, economic, or social reasons, or even the circumstances under which a pregnancy occured (i.e. rape or incest), and abortions are also provided free-of-charge in public hospitals or private buildings with government authorization.
Stalwart secular supporters upheld the law with 68 percent of the vote during a 1981 referendum after nearly four years of clashes with the church. However, women in Italy maintained a relatively tenuous grasp on their newly-won abortion rights, with another referendum that sought to eliminate the 90-day restriction being soundly defeated by 88.4 percent of voters.

Okay, it's not technically a spaceship, but it sure looks like what I wish spaceships looked like. It's actually very much a machine designed for use in an atmosphere, since this 1914 Castagna A.L.F.A. 40/60 HP Aerodinamica is the first real example of an aerodynamic passenger car.
There were streamlining attempts before this Alfa, going as far back as an 1865 patent application for an "air-resisting train", but for cars streamlining had previously been only attempted for racing cars.
That is until the delicious-sounding Count Marco Ricotti had the Castagna coachbuilding firm apply some early aerodynamic understanding to an A.L.F.A. (later known as Alfa-Romeo) 40/60 HP chassis. The 40/60 HP name is pretty confusing, as the six-liter inline-four actually made 70 HP.
The one-off prototype looks like a steampunk's wet dream made real, even if it ended up being so heavy that it offered no performance improvement over the normal-bodied model. What makes it especially charming are the details– the original clunky lighting equipment, the Rumpler-like fenders, the weird rear-mounted dual horns, and, best of all, the "tunnel" at the front to get air to the radiator.
In fact, the entire engine (including the radiator) is inside the passenger compartment. This could mean for comfortable, out-of-the-weather servicing — or, in the pretty-common-for-1914 event of overheating — an instant sauna as the radiator rapidly fills the cockpit with scalding steam.
Also helping make for even more exciting motoring is the lack of a rear window or rear-view mirrors. In this car, why would you be looking back, anyway?

Ernesto continued to weaken over the mountains of Mexico Friday as a new depression developed out in the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
In the center's last update on the storm before it dissipated Friday, Ernesto had maximum sustained winds of 25 mph as it moved west at 15 mph and was located about 215 miles west southwest of Veracruz, Mexico.
2012 Hurricane Season Guide
Meanwhile, at 11 p.m.Tropical Depression 7 continued moving west at 24 mph about 365 miles east of Barbados. The depression had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, but some strengthening is possible over the next day, the National Hurricane Center said.
A tropical storm watch was in effect for Barbados, Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Tropical storms conditions are possible in those areas Saturday and Saturday night, the National Hurricane Center forecast.
The tropical depression could turn into a tropical storm before it reaches the Windward Islands Saturday, forecasters said.

Cold season is upon us, and with that, the season during which, for some of us, our stuffy noses will render the sound of the letter M completely indistinguishable from the sound of the letter B for several months. We're told to blame it on our lax attitudes toward personal nutrition, our bodies' crappy immune systems, and any and all children (in addition to blaming it on both the rain and the alcohol). But did you know that your mucus-enhanced nasal cavities might be blamed on the city you call home?
MSNBC reports that the results of a survey conducted by Sperling's BestPlaces and our nasally-helpful friends at Breathe Right nasal strips have been released, and if you live in Oklahoma City, Birmingham, AL, or New Orleans, the mystery of why you're always congested may finally be solved. Those three lovely places topped the list of "America's Most Congested Cities."
The researchers took several factors into consideration in calculating the results of this vitally important study. Among them: pollen count, purchase habits of congestion products, smoking, and air pollution.
Congested people are more likely to do other things besides blow their noses excessively — according to researchers, congestion often leads people to mouth-breathe and snore. One can assume that they also sometimes chew with their mouth open, which is one of about a thousand reasons why you should never go to a sushi restaurant in Oklahoma City.
Other perennially-sniffly cities include Louisville, Memphis, San Antonio, Dallas, Charlotte, Houston, Philadelphia, and St. Louis. Surprisingly absent from the list? Notoriously smoggy Los Angeles (insert joke about cocaine and rampant rhinoplasty here).

< Features
Openstack web user interface (Horizon)
Include Horizon, the OpenStack web user interface, in Fedora 17.
- Name: Cole Robinson
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 17
- Last updated: January 13 2012
- Percentage of completion: 0%
Detailed Description
Horizon is the official web user interface for OpenStack, and will be a core component of the next OpenStack release scheduled for April 2012. Horizon provides graphical means for users to start, stop, and view details about their virtual instances, as well as cloud admin tasks like managing users and tenants/accounts.
This feature will track getting Horizon working as easy as possible out of the box for Fedora 17.
Benefit to Fedora
OpenStack has a lot of mind share. Improving our OpenStack story has the potential to bring new users and OpenStack developers into the Fedora community. Horizon will play a vital part in improving our OpenStack story. Having a graphical UI will make marketing Fedora as an OpenStack platform much easier, and will lower the barrier to entry for new OpenStack users to get started.
(the nitty gritty of the scope is unclear right now, will be updated when I have a better idea of the specific tasks)
- Package horizon
- Determine full dependency list
- Upstream work to remove dependency on deprecated openstackx package (upstream blueprint)
- Document steps required to configure OpenStack for horizon access
- Determine if any work can be done to make OpenStack work out of the box easier with horizon
How To Test
(this section will be expanded when I have a better idea of options for test cases)
- Run through Getting started with OpenStack Nova
- Follow docs for setting up keystone integration and launching horizon (to be produced, see Scope)
- Basic horizon user tasks:
- Start an instance
- Stop an instance
- Connect to VNC console of an instance through the browser
- Horizon admin tasks:
- Create and delete a tenant
- Create and delete a user
- Stop a running OpenStack service
User Experience
OpenStack users will have the ability to use a nice web UI rather than command line everything. New users interested in OpenStack will have a simpler way to dive into the project.
The OpenStack essex release schedule is a semi dependency, but even if the schedule slipped we would still likely package a release candidate or similar.
Contingency Plan
If the work isn't done in time, horizon can just not be included in Fedora 17, since it's a new package. If documentation isn't finished, we could include the package but probably want to drop this from the feature process. Improvements like simplifying the out of the box config can be dropped if necessary.
- Upstream openstack docs
- Upstream horizon docs
- "Running horizon/dashboard from git (round 2)" on firstname.lastname@example.com (not in archives yet? hmmm)
Release Notes
Horizon, the official web user interface for OpenStack, is now available.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Marshall Henderson scored a career-high 32 points Wednesday night as Mississippi defeated Tennessee 92-74 in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams, giving the Rebels their first road victory over the Volunteers in 22 years.
Mississippi (12-2) had lost 11 straight times to Tennessee in Knoxville since a 93-88 triumph on Feb. 27, 1991.
Jarvis Summers scored 16 points and Murphy Holloway and Reginald Buckner each had double-doubles for the Rebels, who have won four straight games. Holloway had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Buckner scored 13 points and pulled down 15 rebounds.
Jordan McRae scored 26 points to match his career high for Tennessee (8-5), which closed a six-game home stand with its second consecutive loss. Jarnell Stokes added 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Mississippi capitalized on a major edge at the foul line. The Rebels went 38 of 44 on free throws. Tennessee was 17 of 26.
