After a Victory of the Japanese Right, Which Way Forward for the Student Movement in Japan?
After a resounding victory by Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party in Upper House elections, it would appear that the ground has been cleared for Abe to push for the reinterpretation of Article 9 of the Japanese constitution. What next, then, for the student movement opposed to constitutional reinterpretation?... Read More

Hilarious: Funny Captions Added To Navy Photos
The United States Navy is the best in the world, so it would only follow that they have some of the best communications specialists and photographers in the world. The official U.S. Navy Flickr account is full of stunning images of men and women serving in all types of capacities and situations as sailors.
But what happens when you take away the context of the photos, especially ones that seem to capture just the right (or wrong) moment, and add in a brand new photo caption? The results are hilarious!
Here's a list of U.S. Navy photos with new captions added for your entertainment!

On one hand, i see the TV media guys, sprucing up their websites to improve engagement with users. On the other hand, I also read about how they are sharing content with pure play internet channels. I guess it will be a while before we see exactly how TV and internet will co-exist and still make money.
I'm still figuring out Blinkx only slowly, especially since another entity of a similar kind caused me a lot of heartburn when i checked it out. In my first attempt at Hulu, they refused to show me most of the stuff I wanted to see, citing some regional reasons. I was so looking forward to seeing some Simpsons episodes 😦 In my second attempt, i had to be operating from the US to see anything at all. Blinkx, however, operates on a video search level, though in the future, I wonder how much of a distinction there will be among a youtube, hulu, blinkx etc especially if content – professionally created or uder generated, will be shared everywhere. Will there be someone interested in keeping their content exclusive, or will it be too risky not to share it? Its something I've yet to understand. This and this, though old, might throw some light on it.
Meanwhile, the other big news today is the launch of in.com. WATBlog says Web18 might have spent 2 C for that domain. I thought of taking it for a pin and have been told that it might take a couple of weeks since my mail id is in a queue. In typical Indian fashion, they told me that jumping the queue is possible, if i give my mobile number. But since I've been inundated with SMS relating to everything from commodities to movie tickets to holiday packages to jobs and everything in between, I decided to pass. Unfortunately, even WATBlog's username/password combo doesn't seem to work anymore. You can also read about it here.
While its competing in the quite cluttered horizontal portal space, it already has a tangible differentiation with the homepage. I've always liked Web18's moves even though they took the concept of niches to an extreme, and now this one seems likely to set a new benchmark for Rediff & Co. Come to think of it, com.in would also have been a cool name, maybe with a teaser like "Com.in soon". "In.come soon" also has a nice ring to it. Haha, okay, i shall refrain. 🙂 They also have a presence on TV which is also on expansion mode. That almost makes them a 'one of a kind' entity here, except for, of course The Times Group. Incidentally, i saw an ad of Zoom yesterday (below)
It claims to have 23 applications on Facebook. Now, I consider myself fairly active on Facebook, and have never come across a Facebook application from Zoom. Can someone enlighten me, coz i love Bollywood trivia games. Incidentally, if you consider yourself a Heroes fan try out my quiz here.
until next time, kisko dekho?

4 Reasons to Hire Investigative Journalist Over a Lawyer in Ottawa
Situations often arise that hiring a lawyer would seem like the only option available to you. Working with a lawyer is not always easy because of the slow pace of progress and high fees which can often range from $300/hr - $700/hr that you would be expected to pay. If you have had your fair share of disappointment with lawyers maybe it is time to try an investigative journalist.
Besides legal representation in the court, investigative journalists can help you inspire public debate or generate social awareness on critical issues. Investigative journalists will interview you and prepare articles targeted for publication in online newspapers. There are several qualities you should look out for in an investigative journalist. This includes;
1 - Strong sense of morals
A good investigative journalist appreciates and supports human rights, therefore is guided by the sense of right and wrong in the discharge of their duties. Ron White said, "Their sound ethics and finely-tuned moral compass guide them in battling to stomp out crime and corruption." It's apparent that most lawyers are focused on greed, and often seek to exploit the most vulnerable clients without any sense of ethics and morality. On the CBC's Doc Zone, lawyers had been referred to as notorious psychopaths.
2 - Highly analytical
Investigative journalists don't rely on information from a single source. Part of their work ethics is fact-gathering from diverse sources. These materials are organized and interpreted before coming to conclusion. Where necessary, they seek help to interpret the data they have collected. Lawyers have analytical that they often use against their clients to inveigle them out of their money often leaving them near penniless.
3 - Work for multiple audiences
An audience is a large word to use in journalism. It refers to diverse communities comprising of different niches which can range from highly engaged citizens to powerful individuals and institutions. Jane Elizabeth said, "Within the expansive term "audience" are numerous diverse communities, and a point we heard repeatedly from these journalists is that they think about multiple audiences".
An investigative journalist can often help support constructive movement on issues better than a lawyer because they help bring issues out in the open and engage various groups through social media who can share experiences of having also been victimized.
Courtrooms are often places which present themselves to be "neutral" but act in quite an opposite fashion in relation to litigants which lack power in society.
4 - Trustworthiness
An investigative journalist has to take time to build trust with their sources. Most sources would prefer to remain anonymous because their life or career may depend on it. A good investigative journalist will need to stand on their promise not to disclose the names of their sources and must build a record of keeping such confidential information.
Lawyers can often not be trusted because they are often so motivated by greed. If your legal adversary has much more power, you could be sold out by your own lawyer.
A lot of information is ignored by the mainstream media leading to inaccurate or incomplete news reportage. This makes the work of an investigative journalist priceless. Some pivotal corresponding reasons why you should hire an investigative journalist also include:
1. Verified news: Investigative journalists don't just jump on trending news. They verify news and validate their sources before reporting. For this reason, you can always trust their news to be true.
2. Cover every part of the story: an investigative journalist will make sure that every important detail of a story is covered in details. To avoid unambiguity, they present the details in a brief manner.
3. They operate under a code of conduct: investigative journalists operate an established system of ethical often ignored by greed-driven lawyers.
4. Ambitious: the ambitious nature of investigative journalists will make them pursue any news or event to a logical end. This gives you a full picture of the entire event.
Agora Media offers residents of Ottawa and beyond the opportunity to hire an investigative journalist for efficient news coverage as well as cut the cost of hiring a lawyer.

I am a professional pianist, about to release my second record on a US label for which I need artwork.
I need to have artwork designed for my 2nd record, which will be released worldwide on a US label. The format will be a 4 PANEL DIGIPACK.
The record is a crossover between contemporary jazz, pop/ electronica, and movie soundtrack. It is very cinematic, melodic and pretty dark. I am looking for artwork that reflects this music, you can check out excerpts of my record at: http://soundcloud.com/ppkhn/sets/the-calling-1/
Ideally I wouldn't be putting pictures of myself on the cover as it is very explicit, but I have to anyway (please see pics attached- note: those pics are not in full res. yet), in order to comply with the label requirements.
I am looking for a cover that is elegant, distinct and powerful. For references, I love all Radiohead covers (esp. OK Computer, Amnesiac) but also Seal covers for instance (simple, strong and leaves room for thoughts...).
I am very excited to see what you come up with!..
My deepest thanks for their love and enduring support to my parents, my brother Al, Little One, Kina, Yann & Karim.

FDA defense in lawsuit over food safety law: It's complicated
In an effort to fend off a lawsuit trying to force faster implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it takes time to develop the complex regulations the law demands, according a Food Safety News (FSN) report today. The FDA on Nov 30 filed a motion for dismissal of the suit, which was filed this past summer by the Center for Food Safety and the Center for Environmental Health, FSN reported. The FDA filed drafts of four of the major FSMA rules with the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a year ago, and they have been stuck there ever since, the story noted. Consumer advocates have speculated that election-year politics caused the delay. In their dismissal motion, FDA lawyers wrote, "The enormity and scope of the task given to FDA cannot be overstated." They said the agency is tasked with building a new preventive food safety system with rules that must cover $450 billion worth of domestic and imported foods and hundreds of thousands of food facilities. The lawyers argued that getting the rules right is more important than meeting statutory deadlines. The rules under review at OMB would set safety standards for produce, require preventive controls for food and animal feed, and set up a foreign-supplier verification program. The agency sent a fifth draft rule regarding third-party audits to OMB for review last week, the story said.

Norovirus infections spike in England, Wales
The number of norovirus infections in England and Wales is 64% higher than at this point last year, the UK's Health Protection Agency (HPA) said in a statement today. Officials aren't sure what's driving the spike in infections. Norovirus activity levels are unpredictable, but the season typically runs from October to April. So far 2,313 cases have been reported, compared with 1,412 at this time last year. The HPA said lab-confirmed cases represent only a small portion of disease activity and estimated that there are 288 unreported cases for every confirmed case. The HPA reported one encouraging norovirus marker: The number of hospital norovirus outbreaks declined between the 2 weeks ending Nov 25 and the 2 weeks ending Dec 2.
Fraunhofer awarded NIAID anthrax vaccine contract
Fraunhofer Center for Molecular Biotechnology, based in Newark, Del, announced yesterday that it has been awarded a $1.76 million contract from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to develop technology to support next-generation anthrax vaccines. In a press release, the company said the contract is worth up to $9.9 million, depending on the options exercised. The contract covers advanced development of vaccine components and technologies that boost the immune response against an intentional or naturally occurring exposure to Bacillus anthracis, which causes anthrax. Deliverables include biomass generation, agro infiltration, protein purification, and formulation development. The option includes conducting a phase 1 clinical trial. The company's partner in the project is Isconova AB, a Swedish technology company that specializes in developing and producing vaccine adjuvants.

Report: Vaccine-derived polio virus spread from Pakistan to Afghanistan
Two Afghan children have been paralyzed by a vaccine-derived poliovirus that spread from neighboring Pakistan, according to the Express Tribune, a Pakistani newspaper. The story referred to the virus as "Sabin Like (2)," which, according to ProMEDmail, means vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) type 2. The two cases were reported in Panjwai and Spin Boldak districts of Afghanistan's Kandahar province, the newspaper said. Health officials said genetic sequencing showed that the virus originated in the Killa Abdullah district of Pakistan's Balochistan province, according to the story. Another Pakistani newspaper, Dawn, said 10 cases of the same strain have been reported in two Balochistan districts in the past 3 weeks. A Pakistan government official told Dawn that extremists in Balochistan have been warning parents there not to get their children vaccinated. Officials told the Express Tribune that the vaccine-derived virus can strike children who have an extremely poor polio immunization record, which is a common situation in Balochistan. The newspaper said a World Health Organization team led by polio eradication expert Mohammed Mohammedi is in Balochistan and has asked the provincial government to stage three emergency polio immunization campaigns in three districts over the next month. Mohammedi said the first campaign is scheduled for Dec 10. Since 2006, the story said, vaccination teams have repeatedly missed an estimated 50,000 children in Killa Abdullah.

Mythology is full of stumbles that turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps one of the greatest examples is from the Arabian Nights. A man is ploughing a field, but the plough becomes caught. When he investigates he discovers a ring, but it is not just a ring, and he instead finds a cave full of jewels.
Our treasure is not necessarily about a chest of gold, though. Our treasure may be the thing that gives us greatest pleasure, makes us feel at peace, and alive.
The stumble might be considered a point of failure. We are going about our day, doing what we always do, when something stops us, blocks us, causes us to halt or pause, to slip or fail. There, in that moment, is where we can find our treasure.
Perhaps the stumble is not the obstacle we first presume, but is in fact, the thing we most need.
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life.
Perhaps a failure leads us to take another road or approach that reaps an entirely unexpected reward.
The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.
And perhaps those stumbles, are our greatest opportunities for us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and ultimately, to grow.

On Stage: JAGGED LITTLE PILL
Inspired by the themes and emotions of Alanis Morissette's Grammy Award-winning album, Jagged Little Pill is "a big-hearted musical that breaks the mold" (The New York Times), directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus (Waitress, Pippin), with an "urgent and wickedly funny" (The Boston Globe) original story by Academy Award winner Diablo Cody (Juno, Tully).
The Healys are a picture-perfect family — but looks can be deceiving. When the cracks beneath the surface begin to show, they must choose between maintaining the status quo or facing harsh truths about themselves, their community, and the world around them. Featuring Morissette's iconic songs including "Ironic," "You Oughta Know," and "Hand In My Pocket," plus brand-new songs written for the show, Jagged Little Pill comes to the stage with music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), and choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (Beyonce & Jay-Z's "Apeshit" music video).
Jagged Little Pill Tickets | Jagged Little Pill Show Schedule
George H. Broadhurst, the Anglo-American manager and playwright (1866-1952), built his eponymous theatre in association with the Shubert brothers. Broadhurst had previously managed theatres in Milwaukee, Baltimore, and San Francisco (and written many popular plays). The playhouse has remained one of the Shubert Organization's most consistently booked theatres.
Mirror images of each other, the Broadhurst and the neighboring Plymouth Theatre, which opened within two weeks of each other, were the brainchild of architect Herbert J. Krapp, and were his first independent commissions. While the two playhouses are nearly identical on the outside, the Broadhurst's interior employs Doric columns, and Greek-style cornices and friezes. Its spare exterior is decorated with brickwork, enhanced by touches of stone and terra-cotta trim.

Wedding Planning
Aisle Decorations for Every Wedding
Here are a few of our favorites aisle decorations to complete any wedding ceremony.
Nothing frames a ceremony photo like the perfect aisle decor. From a path of lit white candles to elaborate floral arrangements, the way you decorate the aisle sets the tone for the event ahead. Here are a few of our favorites. And if you are particularly inspired by any of them, click on the links below to connect with the complete real wedding!
These tall silver lanterns make quite a statement in this modern sanctuary!
Sweetly traditional affair? Then stick with a tried and true combo of pastel roses and baby's breath!
The simplest presentation can also have a big impact. Especially when the venue's natural beauty is its own decor (just look at that lake through those huge windows!), an aisle runner and pink petals will more than suffice.
I love the pop of a bright flowers against a darker wood!
You can also alternate aisle decor between rows, particularly if you don't want to overwhelm the space with a taller arrangement. Here, they use the tall vase on the center aisles, while the rest feature simple candles.
Perfect for a rustic theme (and super-friendly to the checkbook), these DIY arrangements of baby's breath offer a charming solution.
This garden wedding was already surrounded by flowers, so to attract attention to the aisle, they opted to use lots of bold colors.
Also, don't be afraid to set up the space in a non-traditional way. This aisle is extra wide, drawing attention to the lush archway at the end and the beautiful hardwood floors.
Play with your surroundings. For this desert wedding, they used succulents and Southwestern flora.

Tell us a little bit about your book.
Sure. Think: offbeat comedy. Edger (pronounced Ed-jer) is a 26-year-old gadget retail dork who gets to become the world's first superhero. His power? The ability to channel the Collective Unconscious, a psychic network connecting the living and the dead. The skills of Bruce Lee, the strength of Samson, and the dance moves of Michael Jackson (including that one twisty foot move, the crotch grab, and the fedora tilt) are his to command. The catch? Someone seems to have misplaced the component necessary for stabilizing this awesome power. Without that, Edger has only three days before his brain blows up.
At its heart, Edger is a superhero romantic comedy. But, you know, it's got a little something for everyone, including: a sexy super spy, a horny boy choir, a Calvin Klein underwear model (with an absolutely spectacular butt), a Cookie Thief of Destiny, a rather dickish magician, juvenile acronyms, and, naturally, a compelling scene where two people drink tea in the kitchen for a heart-to-heart.
Have you published before?
Yes, twice. One is a short story about a talking breakfast sandwich with a mysterious past. The other features the Ark of the Covenant and a cellist aikido master who runs around on the tops of trains to save the world. Surprisingly, one of the two is not a comedy. You'll have to guess which.
Are you currently working on anything else?
Yes. A time machine. I'm building it out of katanas and bamboo cutting mats. Because real men MacGyver that shit.
What is your favorite writing snack?
What gets you in the mood to write?
(Seriously, though. I love Beethoven almost as much as I love bananas. Nothing gets me in the mood to write like Beethoven and bananas: Ba-na-na-naaaaaa! Ba-na-na-naaaa!)
Who is your favorite character and why?
That's a toss-up. On the one hand, there's Don Quixote. I mean, Don Quixote starts off unassuming enough. He's just an avid reader, you know? He could be any of us. But then he starts to lose himself in all these tales of daring do, knights, and chivalry. He starts thinking he's a character in his book! Things get weird. He dedicates himself to becoming more than just a man. He wants to become a symbol. Something elemental. A bat. Next thing you know, he's patrolling the streets of Gotham—boom. Mind blown. Don Quixote was really ahead of its time.
Another favorite character is Stick Dog from Stick Dog Chases a Pizza. I mean, who can't identify with that? I guess I'm saying it's hard to choose just one favorite.
Favorite book of all time?
Good Omens.
I think breakfast says a lot about a person, what is your perfect breakfast?
Cereal. But I like to chop it up into small little bits. Call me a cereal killer, but that's how I like it.
Do you have a favorite period of time that you like to write about or would like to live?
The Cretaceous Period. I think humankind really peaked with the foot-powered cars and the rock wheels. There'd be less morbid obesity in this world if everyone had to foot-power their cars on rock wheels. Also, I crave a Triceratops burger with guac.
Please tell us in one sentence why we should read your book!
That's easy, because it's better than the movie!
Edger by David Beem Meet Edger (Ed-jer), a twenty-six-year-old gadget retail dork destined to become the world's first superhero! His superpower: the ability to channel the Collective Unconscious, a psychic network connecting the living and the dead. In his arsenal are the skills of Bruce Lee, the strength of Samson, the wisdom of the ages...and the dancing chops of Michael Jackson—including that one twisty foot move, crotch grab, and fedora tilt. But there's a catch... Like every psychic superpower to get administered through a hypodermic needle, this one comes with a prick. Someone seems to have misplaced the booster necessary for stabilizing his superpower. Without it, Edger has three days before his brain turns to pudding. Join our Dork of Destiny as he overcomes the world's greatest butt, two rival Cluck-n-Pray gangs, an evil cow, a Green Bay Defensive Tackle, rifle-toting assassins—and a pair of stoners who inadvertently create the world's first supervillain after a wild night on Twitter!
David Beem enjoys superhero movies, taekwondo, and flossing. He lives in Djibouti with his family and crippling self-doubt. Help actualize David's inner confidence. Visit his website today, and buy all the stuff. www.davidbeem.com / Facebook / Twitter

This Spring the tulips are a sunny, yellow Darwin Hybrid called Golden Oxford – among the most weather resistant of all garden tulips with large flower heads and strong stems.
After the Tulips have finished, the Park Avenue Fund hosts a "Park Avenue Tulip Dig" – a longstanding tradition that allows members of the community to dig up the spent bulbs for future use in their own gardens.
How nice! via New York Social Diary
