On July 2nd, the following article was written by Kurt Opsahl for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Yesterday, in the Viacom v. Google litigation, the federal court for the Southern District of New York ordered Google to produce to Viacom (over Google's objections):
all data from the Logging database concerning each time a YouTube video has been viewed on the YouTube website or through embedding on a third-party website
The court's order grants Viacom's request and erroneously ignores the protections of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), and threatens to expose deeply private information about what videos are watched by YouTube users. The VPPA passed after a newspaper disclosed Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork's video rental records. As Congress recognized, your selection of videos to watch is deeply personal and deserves the strongest protection.
The Logging database contains:
for each instance a video is watched, the unique "login ID" of the user who watched it, the time when the user started to watch the video, the internet protocol address other devices connected to the internet use to identify the user's computer ("IP address"), and the identifier for the video.
Google correctly argued that "the data should not be disclosed because of the users' privacy concerns," citing the VPPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2710. However, the Court dismissed this argument with no analysis, stating "defendants cite no authority barring them from disclosing such information in civil discovery proceedings, and their privacy concerns are speculative."
In a footnote, the Court references the VPPA, noting that the federal law "prohibits video tape service providers from disclosing information on the specific video materials subscribers request or obtain." It is possible that the reference to "video tapes" in the VPPA was confusing. However, the Act is not limited to the technology available at the time of its enactment.

Dems urge Suozzi to let 'fat cat' goI'm going to add my voice to the chorus: Tom, you gotta get this guy out of your camp, now. The stench of your candidacy, whether you win or not, will destroy the political machine you have so carefully built over the past decade. You have a great shot at the gubenatorial nod in 2010, should Spitzer fail, and undoubtedly stand a better chance for a Senate nomination in 2008 to replace Chuck Schumer (who may have his own windmills to tilt at by then).
Suozzi asked to cut ties with billionaire who vowed 'holy war' on gubernatorial candidate Spitzer
December 15, 2005, 9:42 PM EST
Democratic leaders from across the state are urging Thomas Suozzi to renounce the billionaire "Republican activist" who has pledged to raise money for the Nassau county executive's possible 2006 gubernatorial primary against Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
Suffolk Democratic Chairman Richard Schaffer and his Schenectady County counterpart, Robert Brehm, circulated an e-mail to Democrats throughout the state Wednesday. They criticized Suozzi's relationship with Kenneth Langone, the Home Depot co-founder, and called him a "corporate fat cat."
"Ken Langone is a man who has showered radical Republicans across the country with campaign donations," Schaffer and Brehm wrote, asking the Democrats to sign on to a letter they plan to send Suozzi asking him to disassociate himself from Langone. They expect at least 25 to do so.
"As we all know, politics is a tough game and sometimes makes for strange bedfellows. But do we really think that Tom Suozzi -- a lifelong Democrat -- should be working with this man to bring down the AG?"
Suozzi's campaign manager, Kim Devlin, said the letters were "typical insider clubhouse politics."
"No one can question Tom Suozzi's Democratic credentials," she said.
While the Democratic leaders did not ask Suozzi to back off challenging Spitzer, the party favorite for governor, their message indicates that Langone, 70, of Sands Point, is likely to become a major campaign issue.
Spitzer is suing Langone, a former board member of the New York Stock Exchange, for fraud in connection with a $187.5-million pay package given to the NYSE's former chief executive, Richard Grasso. In New York magazine this week, Langone was quoted as saying he wanted to start a "holy war" against Spitzer by funding a Suozzi candidacy.
You have an amazingly bright future ahead. Don't fuck it up.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, Jeannine Pirro is looking at even worse news, according to workingfamiliespartyman:
A new Quinnipiac poll finds that Westchester District Attorney Jeanine Pirro would be trailing Mark Green (D) and Andrew Cuomo (D) if she were to join the race for New York Attorney General. Green would lead Pirro, 43% to 35%, while Cuomo would beat Pirro, 49% to 32%.I'd say "LOL!", but it's almost too pathetic...
In the Senate race, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) leads Pirro, 62% to 30%.

Pipeline for aneurysm
As many as five million Americans have brain aneurysm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – As many as five million Americans have a brain aneurysm; a weakened, enlarged section of blood vessel in the brain, and because there are often no symptoms, many people don't know they have them until it is too late.
Researchers are now testing a minimally-invasive treatment that eliminates the deadly risk of the aneurysm bleeding or bursting.
Kristine Meyer is a busy mother of two. But two years ago, her doctor uncovered something nobody expected.
"The doctor at the time sent me for an MRI and it was in the MRI findings from that they found the aneurysm." Meyer told Ivanhoe.
Scans showed the aneurysm was two and a half inches behind her nose and right eye.
Meyer continued, "I did not have a lot of options because of the location."
Neurosurgeon Ricardo Hanel thought Kristine would be a good candidate for a minimally invasive procedure, being tested for the first time on small and medium hard-to-reach aneurysms. It's called the Pipeline embolism device. Surgeons thread a tiny catheter through the groin or wrist.
"So through that tube I can feed the mesh and carefully push the mesh onto the contour of the vessel." Ricardo Hanel, MD, PhD, a neurovascular surgeon at Baptist Health Jacksonville explained.
The pipeline diverts blood flow away from the aneurysm, allowing the vessel to heal without an invasive brain surgery.
"So once you close the aneurysm you can nicely tell the patient, you're cured." Dr. Hanel stated.
"Not having that constant fear and worry is the most amazing thing." Meyer said.
Kristine Meyer was home the day after the procedure and back to work within two weeks. Researchers tested 140 patients at 22 sites in the US and Canada to see if the Pipeline would be effective on small aneurysms. The study found a high rate of aneurysms were completely healed at the one-year follow-up.

Morristown Grandparent's Rights Attorneys
A biological or legal parent may decide for any number of reasons that his or her child can no longer have visitations with their grandparents. In the event of a divorce, separation, or dissolution, a child's ability or access to their maternal or paternal grandparents may be jeopardized because of the acrimony involved in the divorce, physical separation if they move far away with one parent, or any other of a number of various reasons. It sometimes occurs where, against the children's best interests, both parents remain together but deprive one or more grandparents of visitation with their children.
Maintaining a close and loving relationship with grandparents can prove to be a very powerful and important aspect of a child's life – especially in the event of divorce, separation or the death of a parent. In spite of the fact that many grandparents now raise their grandchildren, it has become increasingly difficult for grandparents in New Jersey to gain visitation rights if one or both of a child's parents object.
What to Do If You Are Prohibited From Visiting with Your Grandchildren
In the event you must seek court intervention to visit with your grandchildren, there are multiple elements and factors a court will consider in its decision. The Darling Law Firm has attorneys familiar with these factors as well as the current state of the law. We will meet with you and learn about your situation and will craft a solution which is suitable to your needs and the needs of your grandchildren. Our attorneys will zealously advocate for your right to the enjoyment of a loving relationship with your grandchildren.
Your Rights to a Relationship with Your Grandchildren
In New Jersey, grandparent visitation rights are governed by the state statute, N.J.S.A. 9:2-7.1. According to this statute, grandparents may seek visitation. To prevail, a grandparent must show that visitation is in the child's best interest. The following factors will be considered:
• The relationship between the child and the grandparent seeking visitation
• The relationship between each of the child's parents or the person with whom the child is living and the grandparent
• The amount of time since the child had contact with the grandparent
• The effect that such visitation will have on the relationship between the child and the child's parents or the person with whom the child is residing
• If the parents are divorced or separated, the parenting time arrangement that exists between the child and his or her parents
• The good faith of the grandparent who is seeking visitation
• Any history of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse or neglect by the applicant
• Any additional factor relevant to the best interest of the child
A prior history as primary caretaker of your grandchild will result in a presumption that visitation is in your grandchild's best interest.
In spite of any showing a grandparent can make of visitation being in the grandchild's best interest, the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the custody, care, and upbringing of their children still impacts the court's consideration of applications for visitation.
Protecting Grandparent Visitation throughout Northern New Jersey
If you are trying to obtain or continue the ability to spend time with your grandchildren, you need an experienced family lawyer at your side. At The Darling Law Firm we have the experience you need to review the facts and circumstances then determine the best way to protect your relationship with your grandchildren.

Part #2 of Prague - funny stories
I left out the funniest 3 stories of our time in Prague I have just realised, how silly of me!
#1 After getting a few ciders from a market we decided to sit down the side of the hostel in a construction area. There were a couple of feral cats running around. All of a sudden I saw this cat run up and start sniffing a timber framework 'thing'. Then smoke started to emerge from there and we were joking that the feral cats were getting stoned. All of a sudden a full fire errupted and we had to run and get the Hostel staff. The guy was looking at us like we were crazy but grabbed the extinguisher and ran out the side with us. He put it out pretty quickly but was highly pumped as he said he had always wanted to use that thing but never had!
#2 Was when we went for our walk shortly after this. A police car started driving slowly past us and we were kinda freaking out as we heard they fine people for pretty much anything. They rolled down their window, whistled and started shouting out at us as they drove past?!
#3 We then went to have a sauna as we were so pumped that the Hostel had one. We got into our little bikinis and went to open the door and get in. We couldn't see through the door and to my horror when I opened it there were approximately 50 guys squashed into a square metre. There was not one female! They were pretty happy to see us I think and were yelling out for us to come in. Pretty much slammed the door and said we would come back later. Probably had to be there but my face when I opened that door must have been priceless!!
Stay tuned for Cesky, loving this awesome little town! Much needed break

|Meat: Pork; occasionally chicken, lamb, or beef (bifteki)
Sandwich:gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, tzatziki sauce, pita
A gyro ( YEER-oh, ZHEER-oh;[1]) or gyros (Template:Lang-gr, [ˈʝiros], lit. 'turn') is a Greek dish of meat roasted on a vertical spit. It is commonly served in a sandwich with tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce.
To make gyros, pieces of meat are placed on a tall vertical spit, which turns in front of a source of heat, usually an electric broiler. If the meat is not fatty enough, strips of fat are added so that the roasting meat always remains moist and crisp. The rate of roasting can be adjusted by varying the strength of the heat and the distance between the heat and the meat, allowing the cook to adjust to varying rates of consumption. The outside of the meat is sliced vertically in thin, crisp shavings when done. It is generally served in an oiled, lightly grilled piece of pita, rolled up with various salads and sauces.
The name comes from Greek γύρος ('turn'), a calque of the Turkish döner meaning "turn",[2] a name which was previously used in Greece, spelled ντονέρ [doˈner].[3]
The Greek pronunciation is [ˈʝiros], but the pronunciation in English is often or, occasionally /ˈɡɪəroʊ/ or /ˈjɪəroʊ/.[4] The final 's' of the Greek form is often reinterpreted as a plural in English.
Along with the similar Middle Eastern shawarma and Mexican tacos al pastor, gyros is derived from the Turkish doner kebab, which was invented in Bursa in the 19th century.[5] Different to the taco however, gyros originate from the sandwich family and are differentiated from other hand-held semi folded foods by their complete over-wrap but unsecured lower flap[6]
Greece and Cyprus
In Greece and Cyprus, the meat is typically pork or occasionally chicken; with veal gyros occasionally found, referred to as "doner" (ντονέρ). In Athens, and most of Greece, a "pita gyro" will contain tzatziki, tomato, onion and fried potatoes in addition to the meat. However some places offer alternatives to the classic ingredients: tzatziki sauce as a dressing for other meats, whereas the chicken dressings vary from shop to shop, but are most often a variant on mayonnaise mixed with mustard, called "σως" (sauce) in Greek.
Pitas are available in at least three types: 'plain', 'Cypriot', and 'Arabic' in some chain restaurants, however in most places only 'Plain' is offered. 'Plain' pita is around 20 cm in diameter and the thickest of the three. 'Cypriot' pita is crisp and has larger size, and is split like pocket bread. 'Arabic' pitas are crisp, and the flattest and largest. Gyros are also served in sandwich-type bread in northern Greece.
It is said that in Thessaloniki one will find the biggest pita and gyros;[by whom?] there, an order will typically include tomato, onion, fried potatoes, mustard and/or ketchup and an optional sauce, most commonly tzatziki or ktipití (a feta cheese and hot pepper dip), in addition to the meat. "Russian salad" (a mixture of diced pickles and mayonnaise) and "Hungarian salad" (a mixture of mayonnaise and diced bacon) are also popular.
On the island of Crete, pork meat is the most popular filling, although in some of the larger cities (notably the city of Chania) there are also chicken alternatives.
In Kos, a Greek island in the Aegean sea, the locals wrap chicken and add fried potatoes to gyros.
In other Greek cities, like Patras, where gyros are not as popular, the wrap is often prepared and then put in a toaster or toasted under a press, like a panino, a popular grilled sandwich throughout Europe. In Kalamata, it can sometimes be eaten in Thrakópsomo (bread baked on embers), a thick round loaf of country style bread, cut in two halves and stuffed with a double serving of Gyro meat.
Merída (portion) is an alternative way of serving gyros, where instead of putting the meat into a pita or bread, it is put on an aluminum foil box, or a sheet of baking paper, or a regular platter or a bowl of rice. A 200 gram portion of gyros, with tomato, french fries, sliced onions, one or more of the sauces and the pita, usually cut in pieces, comprise such an order. The portion of gyros can vary from 150 grams to even 450 grams.
Gyros in Australia is typically based on lamb, but chicken, beef, or a combination is often available. The Australian gyros generally represents what is commonly known as souvlaki pita in Greece. In addition to this, the usual fillings that include onions, lettuce, and tomato extra filling may be used as supplements. These may include bulgur (cooked wheat), hummus, cheese and tabouli. The usual sauce is tzatziki. Sauces such as barbecue sauce and chilli sauce may also be used at the request of customers. Additional meats and sauces however are considered heretical by purists.[citation needed] The pita bread, which is significantly thinner than donner kebab bread while also not having a pocket may be quickly toasted before the dish is assembled or the entire dish may be toasted in a sandwich press after assembly.
Different names are favoured in different regions of Australia. In South Australia they are known as yiros, a romanised rendering of the modern Greek pronunciation. In New South Wales they are known as yeeros/yiros in Greek shops. In Queensland they are called souvlaki predominately but also "gyros" or kebabs, while in Western Australia they may be referred to as kebabs. In Victoria (which has a large Greek population), they are generally known as gyros or souvlaki. In Tasmania, they are generally called kebabs or souvlaki. In slang vernacular across Australia they are also commonly known as a "lamb sandwich", or "trusty late night lamb sandwich" in reference to their consumption after a late night out.
In most cases yiros or souvlaki tend to be made of thicker pieces of skewered or pan fried meat rather than the meat which is used in doner kebabs that is usually made using thin shards of meat from a broiler rotisserie. Different meats are often used which vary on the region of Australia. Beef may be used as a substitute for lamb in Queensland and occasionally chicken may be ordered, in Victoria and Tasmania lamb is more popular.
In Brazil, the names gyros or doner kebab are used but the dish is also known as churrasco grego (Greek barbecue). Churrasco grego is a very popular food in downtown São Paulo and Brasília. Churrasco grego meat is essentially beef[clarification needed] and it is served with bread. There are also some kebab houses with more options of lamb, beef, pork or chicken kebab with pita.
Greek-style gyros are the most common in Canada. Most Greek immigrants settled in Toronto and Montreal. By the early 1980s, Greek-owned hamburger restaurants that served gyros opened in many areas in Toronto. This coincided with the increasing popularity in the northern United States. They are most prominent in areas of heavy Greek populations such as the Toronto Danforth area, and the Mile-End, Parc-Extension and Chomedey areas in Montreal. They are also common in Edmonton as a popular late night snack.
In Atlantic Canada, a similar dish is the donair (from the Greek pronunciation of the Turkish döner), made using a mixture of minced beef, bread crumbs and spices, which is seared, topped with tomatoes, onions, and a sweet sauce consisting of sweetened condensed milk and garlic powder. This is especially popular in and around Halifax, Nova Scotia and St. John's, Newfoundland and is claimed to have been invented in Halifax in 1971.[7] Donair meat and sauce is also available as a type of pizza.
While the name gyros is not commonly used in France, a similar and very popular fast food is sold under the name sandwich grec (Greek sandwich), kebab, chiche kebab or döner kebab (or shawarma in Lebanese and Israeli restaurants). As a street food, it is served optionally with french fries stuffed into the sandwich on top of the meat and salad.
In Hungary they prefer to use the name gyros instead of doner kebab, even in the Turkish or Arabian restaurants. They are mostly made from chicken or veal, but you can also find lamb, pork or turkey gyros. In the city core, there is a gyros restaurant almost on every corner, and they operate mostly 24/7. In Budapest there are Greek, Iranian, Turkish, and Kurdish restaurants where you can eat it as a takeaway fast food in pita, or as a meal on plate. French fries in the gyros is rarely used, mostly in Greek restaurants. You can choose from various sauces.
In Iran, a similar food to gyros and doner kebab is available called kabab Torki ("Turkish kebab") and is a popular fast food in certain major cities like Tehran and Shiraz. While the meat is prepared in a similar fashion as gyros (using beef or lamb) and sliced from a rotating spit, the preparation of the sandwich is different. After having been sliced from the spit, the meat is then chopped up and mixed with onions and green peppers on a grill. It is not generally served with any kind of sauce.
Middle East
In Arabic-speaking countries and Israel, the dish most similar to gyro and doner kebab is called shawarma and is usually made of chicken, turkey or lamb. The shawarma can be served in a pita, or in a lafa (a pita without a pocket which holds more food). The meat is not commonly prepared in strips like American gyros, but chopped into smaller chunks and usually served with tahini sauce. As commonly practiced in the early 1900s, Arabs used finely sharpened fillet knives to preserve the meat's natural tenderness and avoid depleting it of natural juices.
The Turkish döner kebab is similar to the gyro in terms of cooking. Lamb, beef or chicken, and even fish,[citation needed] are used, but not pork.
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, the word gyros is not widely known; the Turkish doner kebab is more common, and the general term kebab is more common still .[citation needed]
These kebab shops are often owned by Turkish Cypriots, and typically use dry, hard "pocket" Cypriot pita rather than the doughy, more naan-like Turkish (mainland) pita bread. Tzatziki/Cacik and "Tarama" is still available but usually replaced by garlic and/or chilli sauce.
United States
Gyros were introduced to the United States via Chicago between 1965 and 1968.[8][9][10][11]
Several people claim to have brought gyros to Chicago and been the first to mass-produce them. George Apostolou claims he served the first gyros at the Parkview Restaurant in 1965. In 1974, he opened a 3,000-square-foot (280 m2) manufacturing plant called Central Gyros Wholesale. Peter Parthenis claims he mass-produced them at Gyros Inc., in 1973, a year before Apostolou.[8] In 1968, at The Parthenon restaurant, Chris Liakouras developed an early version of the modern vertical rotisserie gyros cooker, and popularized gyros by passing out samples free to customers.[12] The vertical broiler was later refined by Tom Pappas and others at Gyros incorporated. Pappas would go on to develop the modern commercial recipe for gyros in the United States, achieving success as an independent manufacturer of gyros in Florida during the early 1980s, and popularizing it in the southeastern US (Orlando Sentinel, 1981). They have since spread to all parts of the country, but the gyro is still identified as part of Chicago's working class cuisine.
The name gyros is most commonly used in American and Greek-American restaurants and stores. Doner kebab and shawarma may be seen in Middle Eastern-style establishments.
In the United States, gyros are made from lamb or a combination of beef and lamb. Chicken gyros are sometimes seen as well. As of 2011, there is a gyro made from a wheat-based plant protein, manufactured exclusively by U.S. based company, Taft Foodmasters, LLC. The bread served with gyros in the U.S. resembles a Greek 'plain' pita. The traditional accompaniments are tomato, onion, and tzatziki, sometimes called "cucumber", "yogurt", or "white" sauce. Some establishments use plain sour cream in lieu of tzatziki sauce. Such sandwiches[clarification needed] are often served in luncheonettes or diners.
While some Greek restaurants in America make gyros in a traditional way from sliced meat arranged on a vertical rotisserie,[citation needed] most, particularly fast-food restaurants, use mass-produced gyros loaves, of finely ground meat pressed into a cylinder and cooked on a rotating vertical spit, from which thin slices of meat are shaved as they brown. Some restaurants even sell pre-formed, frozen strips of ground gyros meat, grilled or pan-fried individually, to prevent waste.
Meat-free vegan and vegetarian versions of gyros are also popular, and can be made at home or ordered at vegan and vegetarian restaurants. Seitan is generally used in place of meat; tempeh, tofu, and meaty mushrooms may also be used. Tzatziki sauce can be made with silken tofu, blended nuts (such as raw cashews), and vegan yogurt (such as soy, coconut, almond, etc.).
Vertical gyros broiler
The principal difficulty in making gyros at home is access to the vertical broiler, a professional-oriented machine whose cost and complexity are geared towards restaurants rather than the home. Conceivably an electric or gas-fired barbecue broiler can be modified to accommodate vertical roasting, provided the gyros is in direct "eyesight" of the fire element. The purpose of the vertical layout is to keep the lower parts of the rotating cone always doused in the flavourful liquid fat drippings from higher up. This and the standard top-heavy conical shape of the gyros assures two kinds of cooking: the higher parts are more directly grilled by their closer proximity to the heat, whereas the lower ones are partly fried in the resulting drippings. The hot metal-plate collector beneath the spit serves to collect the shavings and give them the finishing touch as they lay in sizzling drippings. A good serving of gyros contains shavings from all parts of the roast, top to bottom, thus offering a variety and richness of taste.
Meat choice and preparation
The meat can be any kind of boneless beef, veal, pork, lamb or even chicken, or any blend thereof, provided it can be cut into approximately round, thin, flat slices (about the thickness of slices meant for schnitzel and about the width of a 45 rpm vinyl single). The kinds of cuttings used for making Mexican fajitas (e.g. skirt steak) can be a useful guideline for procurement and dressing. The slices are then pierced at their center through a metal vertical spit: smaller slices go to the bottom of the spit and larger towards the top. As each slice is threaded into place, it is sprinkled with the spice mix (see next paragraph). Fat trimmings can be layered in between if the meat is too lean. The juice collected when slicing onions can also be sprinkled in at this time. Leftover trimmings are then shoved in between slices, so that nothing is wasted.
Spice mix
A typical spice mix consists of: 9 parts salt, 3 parts sweet paprika, 1 part hot paprika, 1 part white pepper, 1 part black pepper, 3 parts dried parsley, 2 parts garlic powder, and 3 parts of dried oregano. This is the base mixture, to which small amounts (a pinch each) of other powdered spices can be mixed (e.g. cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, anise, coriander, fennel and allspice). Some of these more potent spices can be added or omitted to taste. They are mixed and stored in a closed container overnight for their flavours to blend. Some of this spice mix is then lightly sprinkled on each meat slice as it takes its place on the spit. The prepared spit often spends a night standing in a refrigerated space, so that the meat is infused with the spices and onion juices.[citation needed] Some variations of the recipe also uses sumac for the seasoning.[13]
Depending on the overall quantity of gyros and the number of meals to be served, roasting and eating of gyros can be a long or a short affair. The rate of cooking can be changed by altering the intensity of the fire, the proximity of the meat to the heat source, and the speed of the spit rotation.

BS101 – Return of the Burn – Album Review
BS101 – Return of the Burn – Album Review
Total Score: 7.6/10[starreviewmulti id=6 tpl=20]
Style:Â Comedy Funk, Rock
Release Date:Â 2013
Label:Â Independent
BS101 are a Toronto-based comedy funk band, where "BS" stands for "Bad Songwriting". The band has been around for some time now, gaining fans and managing to release 3 full-length albums to date. Return of the Burn is the band's latest effort, released in 2013 and it provides a whooping 25 gags over the span of 56 minutes for the devoted listener.
The album starts out with "Vaj Chap Infomercial", an intro that sets the mood for the whole album. BS101 decided to start with their most offensive material right from the get go, so that the listener won't have any false predicaments. This is comedy and BS101 won't let you down with something even remotely serious. "The Bad Guys" shows what the band is all about, with fairly straightforward humor and surprisingly heavy riffs at times, mostly staying in the rock genre territory. Some funky tunes are in the mix as well.
"Nikola Tesla" is not only the greatest inventor that ever lived, but also the best song on the album. Catchy beyond any expectations, it shows off BS101's musical prowess and full lyrical potential. It is also a great tactic to win over the nerds!
Like a lot of the songs on the album, "Crayons Are Forever" is parodying a style or a band, in this case it's Linkin Park or Incubus or maybe that's what the early 2000's sounded like overall. Sadly, this song shows the unpolished side of Dick James' vocals. "Buttons" marks one of the many intermissions on the album, all set to very simplistic beat-boxing (think dumbed down Bloodhound Gang). All of them are short and funny even after a couple of listens. Sometimes intermissions break the album apart, here they actually work in favour of unity and help support the vision of the album.
Return of the Burn has too many songs to cover all over them in one review, and most of them carry the same message across, poking fun at North American stereotypes. Some of the tunes worth mentioning are "1st World Problems", "Love Juice (Funkin' It Up)", "Witches Burning Bitches" and the closer "Mother Falcon Punch", which is depicted on the album cover.
Overall, the album holds up well, even if it should have been a little shorter (19 songs out of 25 tracks is a bit overwhelming even for comedy).

I'm using a form to update already existing data. I have no problem pre-filling individual fields and name or phone number fields.
However, in my forms I have a set of checkboxes and I don't know how to pass parameters to the form to pre-check only some of the options as I need. I'm using something like ...&arrayName[]=xxx&arrayName[]=yyy but it doesn't seem to work..
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on February 26, 2011 at 12:16 PM
Hi, do you simply want check boxes to be pre-checked once the form loads? Unfortunately, JotForm only allows to choose one at the moment.
Sorry updating, I got confused with your question. Here's what you have to do:
1. find the checkbox name in the checkbox tag
2. copy the name after the "_" and before"["
3. copy the value
example:<input type="checkbox" class="form-checkbox validate[required]"
id="input_13_0" name="q13_categorieDi[]" value="Impianti elettrici" />
so once you're able to get the names of each checkbox, include them in the URL, remember to put "?" after the URL to declare that you are submitting parameters, then comes the name followed by "=", then the value.
If you wish to add more parameters, these are to be separated by "&" sign. Unfortunately, this will only work with one name for each in a URL parameter, and the checkbox array consists only of one name for one field for it to be called via URL
http://www.jotform.com/10555550133?categorieDi=Impianti elettrici
Another Option if you wish to have numerous checkboxes pre-checked:
What I could suggest to you is export the source code of the form and place it into your webpage. And simply add the property and value 'checked="checked"' for each checkbox tag that you wish pre-selected.
Hope this helps
- emersumAnswered on February 27, 2011 at 08:55 AM
Thanks. I'd seen some implementations use a form where (for fields where multiple choices are poissible), the parameter name is simply repeated in the URL - e.g. ...&choice1[]=XXX&choice1[]=YYY&... would set both XXX and YYY in a field choice1 (if present).
But thanks anyway, I guess I'd ll'have to use the script source directly as you say.
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on February 28, 2011 at 12:42 AM
I see, I will forward this matter to the development team and see what we can find.
Alternatively for now, you can create one checkbox form field for every value so that you can submit via URL parameter submission.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #3902ee}
You will need to put commas between items. Please see the example form address below:
Liyam, you can give the address of this forum post if similar questions asked. You have explained the issue very well. Your explanation explains how to prepopulate the fields.

The research is overwhelming. Almost every week, a study is published supporting the Pritikin Center's approach to the prevention of various cancers.
The Pritikin Longevity Center has been involved in more than a dozen studies of risk factors for breast, prostate, and colon cancer. All showed significant reductions in risk factors for these cancers.
Recently, scientists at UCLA discovered how remarkably powerful prevention measures were. In the lab setting, they found that the Pritikin Program of diet and exercise destroyed prostate cancers. That's right, the Pritikin Program induced prostate cancer cells to die.
"If you catch prostate cancer early on and adopt the Pritikin Program, you can significantly increase your odds of living your life free of invasive prostate cancer."
The scientists discovered that blood samples of men who had recently gone through the two-week program at the Pritikin Center were 13 times more effective at killing off prostate cancer cells than blood samples taken from the very same men before they had attended the Pritikin Center. (Cancer Causes and Control, 13: 929, 2002. See also Prostate, 56: 210, 2003)
"If you catch prostate cancer early on and adopt the Pritikin Program, you can significantly increase your odds of living your life free of invasive prostate cancer," states Dr. James Barnard, professor of physiological science at UCLA and lead investigator of the study.
It's well worth it, scientists involved in cancer research agree, to invest in the future with a healthy lifestyle today. Scientists themselves are often inspiring role models. USC cancer researcher Dr. Leslie Bernstein takes long, strenuous walks daily and follows a very low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. "The highest fat thing I eat is nonfat yogurt." Dr. Louise Brinton, breast cancer researcher at the National Cancer Institute, runs five days a week, and eats close to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
The sessions at the Pritikin Longevity Center are full of young, healthy men and women who are deeply committed to a cancer-free future, as well as those who have already faced the diagnosis of cancer. Both are confident that by adopting the Pritikin Program, they're doing all they can to remain healthy and vital for many years to come.

By Daniel Restuccio
David Fincher's Gone Girl, shot on a Red Dragon in 6K, boasts an innovative editorial workflow that integrates top-end hardware and software into a seamless 6K editing, VFX and conforming system.
Pioneering a tightly integrated SSD shared-storage system, Gone Girl was edited on 13 custom-built workstations based on Apple Mac Pros and HP Z820s boasting Nvidia GPU cards, Fusion-io solutions, as well as customized versions of Adobe Premiere Pro Creative Cloud and After Effects Creative Cloud, and editorial managed through Open Drives media storage system.
"Basically what happened," explains assistant editor Tyler Nelson, "is we brought Jeff (Brue, co-founder/CTO of Open Drives) on board for (Fincher's) House of Cards season one and he built this amazing infrastructure for us to use as a template for Gone Girl."
"This is the first studio feature film to be edited from a completely ground-up designed shared SSD editorial system, mostly due to the speed and performance of Adobe Premiere Pro with Nvidia GPUs," says Brue.
Brue's system for connecting the offline workstations consisted of Open Drives Velocity, 36TB of SSD, a 60TB hard drive, custom Adobe Premiere Pro accelerating cache-ing volumes and six 10GbE Solarflare ports.
Two-time Academy Award-winning editor Kirk Baxter edited Gone Girl on Adobe Premiere Pro CC (for the first time) using one of four off line systems built using a MacPro 2012 with 64GB DDR3 RAM, Solarflare 10 GbE and an Nvidia K5000 GPU card configured for editorial with third monitor out for support. See our interview with him here.
"I found Premiere very, very easy to work with and very user friendly," says Baxter, "but the attraction to it is all of the After Effects shots and how we can be doing visual effects in-house and reducing a lot of that cost and increasing a lot of the speed of these things and the promise of what's to come."
"Adobe very much promised to work hand in hand," continues Baxter. "They (believed we would be) able to streamline the post production with this series of tools that they would provide. At the time, Apple Final Cut was blurry about what the future was. We were more than happy to try this new path. It seems to be paying off."
There were also two additional offline systems: Mac Pro 2011 with 32GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia Quadro 5000 and Solarflare 10 GbE.
"One of the really cool things about this project," says Brue, "was because of Nvidia's CUDA implementation of Redline that the Red camera wrote, they were able to render and debayer all footage through Nvidia GPUs."
The Red Dragon records 6K (6144×3160) that's 19.4 megapixels per frame) in wavelet R3d files. According to Brue, technically that's roughly double the resolution of 4K (3896×2160) which means that's double the data rate. This means that playing back a single stream of 6K DPX files is happening at 1.8 gigabytes a second as compared to a single steam at 4K, which averages 800 megabytes a second.
"I think a lot of people are scared away by the file size," says Nelson. "It's really not that scary to deal with 6K media. 6K looks beautiful, and if you have that pixel value everything just becomes so much clearer. It is bigger for sure, but you go ahead knowing that with the infrastructure that Jeff has built for us it's not a big deal."
"From a technical perspective I would definitely say working in 6K does allow for a level of additional tracking points, which allows for better visual effects integration," adds Brue. "Plus the higher resolution can compensate for the resolution reduction that occurs whenever you do any image movement."
In addition to getting a better looking picture at acquisition, Nelson and Brue devised an approach for them to look inside the frame in realtime during editing and have room to reposition, stabilize and re-frame the image.
They started with a 6K resolution of 6144×3072 and extracted a 5K image 5120×2133. With that framing they can move the image left, right, up and down to reframe for consistency throughout a scene. "Some camera operator is moving the shot to go with an actor, but he doesn't always hit the same mark take after take, so when we cut back to a shot two or three edits after the original use of that angle and the framing is a few hundred pixels left or right and you can notice that," explains Nelson.
"So if you want to adjust for consistency for shoulder position or head room you can move that around. You have this very, very large palate that you're extracting a portion of and are able to manipulate the framing and make it absolutely perfect. That's what we've done on all of Fincher's movies ever since The Social Network."
"On the Red Dragon camera you can set frame guides," continues Nelson, "and that's exactly what the DPs and camera operators are framing for. When David (Fincher) is watching playback on set, he sees a 'ground glass' view of what they are framing for, as well as the full image that the sensor is capturing."
For offline editorial, says Brue, they scaled everything to 2304×1152 pixels. That format meant that they could take a center extraction that corresponded to the 5K (5120×2560) finishing out of the 6K (6144×3072) frame. So throughout offline editorial they could custom reposition, stabilize and reframe the shot without ever having to worry about whether or not they had run out of pixel room.
"But you could only do that," says Brue, "if at every single moment and every single time you're re-rendering the frame with live repositioning. That's one of the things that only Adobe Premiere can do.
"This is the first all-SSD array for offline editing," he continues. "We had to keep the entire movie online in that manner. For one simple fact, when Premiere goes to export it can export with an Nvidia card five times faster than realtime now. When you have eight editors all hitting up a single volume for five times faster than realtime, not your average storage system can actually hold up inside of that. Particularly when going into a multi-cam scenario where you're being asked to playback five streams of 2304×1152. At certain points the offline editorial system was being hit up for over 3.5GB a second, because of this and the After Effects dynamic link system."
Visual Effects
Nelson explains that they processed offline and online/VFX files concurrently. For offline they transcoded everything to 2304×1152 QuickTime 422LTs, a scaled down version of the 6K (6144×3072) R3D files. For online/VFX they rendered full-frame 6K DPX files. To keep track of this they created a "code book."
"This is not your standard code book," Nelson states emphatically. This code book provides all the metadata associated with every clip that goes through that system. And by doing so, says Nelson, "it accelerates everything that we do from offline into online. We can take an offline edit, output an EDL or an XML, ingest it into this code book and it takes all the clips and the metadata associated with them and makes this "online package," which is rendered out based on specific parameters. In our case, we've run everything out as RedColor3, RedLogFilm 10-bit DPX for image sequences.
"Every single VFX shot that was delivered went through our code book and was tracked with it as well. If I needed to deliver a VFX shot to one of our in-house vendors I can literally have it to them in about five minutes."
Online systems for post and visual effects included two HP Z820 Intel Xeon E5-2697, 12 core, 2.7Ghz, release Q312, 256 GB DDR3, Nvidia K6000, Cubix Expansion Chassis, two Fusion-io LoDrive 1.6TB sustained 2.6GB/s, 64TB G-Tech G-Speed EsPro and SolarFlare Dual Port 10 Gb network adaptor; four HP Z820 Intel Xeon E5-2670, 8 core, 2.6Ghz, release Q1 2012, 128 GB DDR3, Nvidia K5200, two HP Z-Turbo 256 GB drives sustained 1.8 GB/s, Solarflare Dual Port 10Gb network adaptor; one HP Z820 Intel Xeon 12 core, 2.7Ghz,128GB DDR3, Nvidia K5200, Aja IO 4K, two Fusion-io LoDrive 1.6 TB sustained 2.6GB/s.
For the online shared storage, Brue used the Open Drives Exos 342TB, 1TB SSD cache and six 10 GbE Solarflare ports. "The online volume was the massive place where we actually had to keep this all," he says.
Visual effects were done literally arms length from editorial. "They are fantastic compositors," says Nelson, "and it makes an amazing collaborative workflow when you have somebody that is 20 feet away from you that is passionate about making the movie look as best as they can."
The VFX artists worked directly with 6K DPX files using Adobe After Effects running on the high-end HP 820s. "For our hero workstations, we used the combination of the Fusion-IOs, which we were able to clear 2.6 gigabytes a second, and the Nvidia K6000s, as well as tied into using Solarflare adapters, and the overall SSD storage network," describes Brue.
Regarding the Io 4K, he says, "AJA's Io 4K was used as a reference grade device as it allowed us to playback DPX frames without any tearing or artifacts when reviewing VFX shots. The Io 4K was ultimately chosen for the quality level, absolute sync and also for the fact that it can operate in 10-bit."
Brue says the biggest thing about that was pushing around in After Effects 1.8 gigabytes a second just to play back. "Whenever we do split comps, whenever we do retimes, whenever we do performance retimes, whenever we do stabilization, every single iteration needs to have that throughput, and it's an immense, immense amount of data. That meant that we could actually do iterations in a very, very rapid manner to be able to get to a finish state on a 6K film. Working with Fincher, it's definitely about iterations."
The visual effects and pre-conform were built as After Effects projects nested into Premiere Pro. The offline changed a lot, says Brue. Meaning they started as dynamic linked After Effects projects inside the Premiere Pro timeline and they slowly got replaced by actual final VFX shots. So inside the Premiere Pro timeline, if you zoomed out, that probably made up 70 to 80% of the timeline. Essentially they had online quality offline and were able to update the VFX shots whenever they needed to. "We were playing back 6k VFX's shots quite regularly with the 5K extraction for correct framing for VFX review."
There is so much more to tell. Stay tuned for Part 2 to this piece.

Buzzing in the Workplace

Walgreens is Leading the Way
Buzzing in the Workplace
By: Rob Roy
Walgreens, the nation's largest drugstore chain, is leading the way in enhancing hiring of people with disabilities. On June 14, 2007, the company opened a new distribution center in Anderson, North Carolina equipped with technology and management training to facilitate hiring and retaining people with disabilities. The center has touch screens for the vision-impaired, flexible workstations, wheelchair ramps and elevators. All workers receive disability awareness training, and managers go through a special program run by the University of North Carolina on supporting disabled employees.
For the past year, the distribution center has staffed approximately 400 people, almost 40% of who have a disclosed disability. The center's creation is not about empathy and is not subjected to lower performance expectations. Each team member is expected to perform at same level regardless of whether or not he or she has a disability.
In fact, the distribution center has shown the positive contribution people with disabilities can make to companies. The center is Walgreen's most efficient distribution center in the United States and has been a tremendous success that the company is opening a new center in Windsor, Connecticut later this year.
The following is a clip about the Anderson, N.C. center featured on NBC's Nightly News with Brian Williams:
To learn more about the distribution center in Anderson, North Carolina or to consider employment opportunities with the company – visit www.Walgreensoutreach.com. The website is designed to be accessible by people with sensory, physical and cognitive disabilities
Thanks, Walgreens, for being an example and leading the way.
For Julia Turner, who was born with Down syndrome, a full-time job might seem out of reach, but not here, at Walgreens' first-of-its-kind Southeastern distribution center.
"I have found what I want, and I'm satisfied," Turner said as she scanned boxes at the center, which officially opened June 14.
The drugstore chain's plan is to hire an 800-person workforce that is one-third disabled, but it is ahead of that goal, reporting that 42 percent of the 250 people it has hired so far have a physical or cognitive disability.
Tommy Watson has Asperger syndrome, sometimes known as "high-functioning autism," which makes him developmentally disabled in some ways but also fuels a startling facility with computers. When anyone has a computer problem at Walgreens' Anderson center, they call Watson.
"It's amazing," he said.
The outreach is the brainchild of Randy Lewis, Walgreens' senior vice
president of distribution and logistics, whose 19-year-old son, Austin,
has autism.
"Austin's gift to me was to look past the disability to see a person," Lewis said. It is a philosophy that many businesses have been slow to embrace
For Walgreens, the outreach is no charity. Disabled workers must meet the same performance standards as their non-disabled colleagues, Lewis said, and the company expects its new distribution center to be fully as efficient and cost-effective as its traditional facilities.
Lewis said the Walgreens program gives hope to the parents of disabled children, who he said often wonder "what would happen after I'm gone. Can I live one day longer than my child?"
Watson's mother, Dianne Lipper, said Walgreens has answered that question.
"I don't have to have that worry anymore," she said. "He's going to be [taken] care of here. As long as he performs his job and does his best for Walgreens, he's got a home."

Change Is…
It has been quite a while since we last surfaced with news, updates or anything! We apologize for those of you who love to hear from us. You are welcome for the rest of you! 🙂
The theme for this summer has been – change. The title says it all and its open ended because what we noticed is that we are often eager to place judgment on changes being good or bad. I know I am. When in actuality, change is really all there is. Change just IS. Isn't there a saying that about how we can never step in the same river twice?
Apart from having a few health changes for myself that forced a temporary time-out, the biggest change is that my dear friend, partner, and loka 🙂 – Kyra is going to take a step back from 2Lokas and Our Little Loka for now. Fortunately, loka in Sanskrit means world and our company name is not solely a cheeky reference to two crazy ladies! We might have a bigger problem then.
I'm naturally bummed to see my friend and awesome partner go. Kyra was an excellent compliment to me and we are very proud of our achievements together and had lots of fun and sushi doing it. But I also totally understand and respect her reasons for making this hard choice. In her own words:
"As I've come to realize, albeit rather expectedly, being a true entrepreneur is both incredibly satisfying and unbelievably challenging. When Malini and I launched this venture over a year ago, we were both working moms with a lot on our plate, including a sushi buffet. But, we were determined to run with it. And, we did! And, gasp, it was so much fun (and even more hard work, ha)! And, I perhaps naively believed that I would be able to seamlessly transition from working full-time to the start-up world. While many out there do it, quite sucessfully and with far fewer resources at their disposal, it's not easy. It's actually really difficult to indulge in the flexibility around being your own boss when you're working full-time and have personal and other obligations to tend to. So, for now, one year and some change later, I've decided to step back from it all, re-evaluate, and really focus on my full-time work, my family…and myself. it hasn't been an easy decision, as I love 2Lokas. Not to mention, working with Malini, a great friend for life, has been beyond wonderful. And, who knows, I may still have the entrepreneurial urge in the future. I probably will! But, there's also something comforting, especially for me right now, about finding happiness in a stable and predictable place. I never thought of myself as someone who craved certainty, as I've always been a risk-taker, an adventure-seeker. However, the practical-pragmatic side of me seems to have taken over as of late. Anyway, enough rambling."
Kyra makes some great points about the perpetual struggle of moms like us who are constantly seeking to healthfully balance all that we want to do in our lives. Kyra's honesty is courageous and beautiful to me because sometimes it is MOST important to be able to say we need a break and take care of ourselves, and we will always be peeps :). She is also not leaving completely, and will chime in periodically without having to manage some of the other stuff. I will follow the advice of one of my faves Dr. Seuss, who says, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
What does that mean for 2Lokas and our book series? Well, that's the thing with change, it is both exciting and a little scary. And I'm learning that I must start embracing it as the norm if I want my son to do the same, and prepare him for life.
For now, I feel that what we want to do with 2Lokas and the books is not necessarily coming from me, but rather through me. And for that reason, I would like to keep it going. So that is what I plan on doing!
We should have an e-book version of our book out for you shortly and would like to get started on the next book soon. I am also very much open to the possibilities that change brings in taking any suggestions you might have as we move forward, and even talking to you more if you or someone you know is interested in jumping aboard for the ride. Just drop me a line!
Regardless, thank you for sharing in this journey of CHANGE, evolution with us, and we hope to have your continued support as we charge ahead.
Cheers!Posted on: September 16, 2014, by : littleloka

Duward F. Shriver, Former Chair of Chemistry, Dies
Inorganic chemist was a distinguished researcher, teacher and colleague
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Duward F. Shriver, a renowned inorganic chemist and former chairman of the department of chemistry at Northwestern University, died March 6.
Shriver spent his entire academic career at Northwestern, beginning in 1961. He was named Morrison Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences in 1987 and served as chemistry department chair from 1992 to 1995. Shriver was a key member of Northwestern's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center and the Center for Catalysis and Surface Science.
Shriver's most important work was in organometallic chemistry, particularly air-sensitive compounds. His research interests spanned inorganic and organometallic synthesis, bioinorganic, solid-state and polymer chemistry, and vibrational spectroscopy. His book "The Manipulation of Air-Sensitive Materials" is the standard reference in the field of organometallic chemistry.
Shriver published more than 400 scientific works and mentored more than 150 students and postdoctoral students who went on to careers in industry and government and at national laboratories, colleges and universities.
Shriver received many professional awards for his research. They include a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, the Royal Society of Chemistry Ludwig Mond Medal, the Materials Research Society Medal and the American Chemical Society Award for Distinguished Service in Inorganic Chemistry. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Born in 1934 in Glendale, Calif., Shriver was raised on Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. He received his undergraduate degree in 1958 from the University of California, Berkeley, working with William L. Jolly, and his Ph.D. in 1961 from the University of Michigan, working with Robert W. Parry.
Shriver is survived by his wife, Shirley; children Justin and Daniel and their spouses; and two grandchildren.

At the height of his career Ndaye Mulamba led his national team, the Leopards, with speed and accuracy.
He captained them in the Democratic Republic of Congo's first foray into the FIFA World Cup in 1974 and he today still holds the record of the most goals scored in an African Cup of Nations tournament.
But those achievements hold little consolation for a man that was forced to flee his country because of political violence.
As a refugee in Cape Town, Mulamba has all but faded into obscurity - a forgotten hero of African football. But thanks to an upcoming documentary, the plight of Mulamba and other forgotten African footballers, looks set to be highlighted.
Upon discovering that Mulamba was living in Cape Town, CEO of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa Dr Danny Jordaan, took time to meet up with the African football legend on a recent visit to the Mother City.
The two soccer veterans reminisced about the heady days of African football across the continent and also spoke about the contribution African football legends can make to the development of the game in Africa.
For Mulamba, this was welcome relief from years of isolation and little recognition for the role he has played in putting African football on the world stage.
"African soccer veterans in exile are suffering with not enough visibility and recognition as South Africa plans to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup," he told Dr Jordaan.
The Organising Committee CEO agreed that not enough is done to support the older generation and involve them in the development of African football.
"It is a challenge, and we are looking at ways of encouraging African nations to include veterans in soccer development initiatives because the continent has a significant shortage of qualified and trained officials in the management of the game."
Mulamba captained his country's team (then known as Zaire) when it became the first-ever black African team in the 1974 World Cup in Germany. That same year at the African Cup of Nations Mulambo scored nine times.
He was feted as a hero in the Democratic Republic of Congo until being forced into a 13-year exile by political conflict.
A victim of political violence Mulamba has lost his first born son and survived being shot in the leg in a brutal attack by soldiers during the war in the DRC. He escaped and became a refugee in South Africa in 1996.
War, conflict and lack of resources, said Dr Jordaan, had a severe impact on the organisational and logistical infrastructure of African football, and in some cases had a direct impact on the footballers themselves.
"Until countries in the Great Lakes region of Africa have more developed democracies, and a culture of human rights and dignity, this will remain a challenge." he said.
Jordaan assured Mulamba that the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, the first World Cup on African soil, could not have been possible without the hard work of the pioneer African footballers such as himself, and that their achievements will be honoured on the continent.
Mulamba is the subject of a documentary being directed by Makela Pululu. In the film, Forgotten Gold, Pululu follows Ndaye's journey back to the DRC to confront his past, and reclaim his legacy.
Pululu is also a refugee from the DRC. For him, the film about his childhood hero is an honour and a duty.
"At the heart of this film is Ndaye's emotional return to his country to reunite with his family and his teammates - and to find the perpetrators of violence against him and his family - after more than a decade in difficult exile. This is a rare inside look into the politics of sports and the life, times and tragedy of one of the world's greatest, and most forgotten, athletes," said Pululu.
South African documentary production company, Rainbow Circle Films, is currently in production on the documentary film, with a planned release in April 2010 as the world focuses its attention on the World Cup.
The film will include interviews with international soccer stars who will reflect on inspirational role model Ndaye Mulamba was to their generation.
For now, Mulamba's wish is to continue his coaching career. He has been involved in local and provincial football tournaments with refugee soccer teams and coached and won the South African refugee soccer tournament in 2007.
Mulamba says: "I want to be recognised as the player that I was but I have found a new sense of purpose in still being alive to enjoy the simple touch of a soccer ball."

Ridiculous Bid To Be Accepted For World Class Attacker In January
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
Manchester City will not bid more than £20m for Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.
Pep Guardiola's side were on the verge of signing the Chile international in a £55m deal on transfer deadline day, but the move fell through when the Gunners failed to sign Monaco's Thomas Lemar to replace Sanchez.
Having pulled the plug on the £55m, the Gunners now look set to lose out on £35m. That's because City will offer substantially less in the next transfer window.
A bid of £20m is set to be on the cards. That fee takes into account the fact that Sanchez will be into the final six months of his contract at the Emirates Stadium. At that stage, he would be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club, but he is believed to favour a reunion with his former Barcelona boss Guardiola at City.

There's probably a more extensive post to be made on the subject, but I'm afraid I lack the time to tear down the intellectual edifice of Dave Budge's latest theme that
Democrats (Progressives) are Fascists. I know that the Internet is full of some pretty stupid things, but to look at the American political system today and identify a connection between Democrats (Progressives) and Fascists has to be the most inane, facile, absurd observation this site of the Free Republic.
It's interesting that now, after the disappearance of the Communist threat, conservatives are beginning to adopt this new approach, at the same time the Republican Party launched the single largest consolidation of executive power in American history.
Read a book for God's sake.
