Though video postings of her recent performances in Australia have been less than flattering, Whitney Houston says her tour is going great — and she's in great health.
A statement released Thursday by Houston's publicist, Kristen Foster, says: "Whitney is in great health and having a terrific time on her tour and with her fans."
The statement notes there were thousands of people dancing and signing along at her concerts this week and says the singer "appreciates their support."
That view contrasts news reports quoting disgruntled fans who have complained about the star's voice and performance. Video snippets of Houston struggling to hit notes in concerts in Sydney and Brisbane have circulated widely on YouTube and other outlets.

YANKEES: Mark Teixeira could begin throwing soon
CLEVELAND >> Mark Teixeira isn't dreading his next doctor's visit. He's actually excited about it.
New York's star first baseman said he expects to be cleared to begin swinging a bat as early as Friday in his recovery from a wrist injury that will sideline him for the first month of the season. Teixeira has been on the disabled list since March 31 with a torn sheath in his right wrist.
When the Yankees return to New York on Friday, Teixeira will be examined by Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser, the team's hand and wrist specialist, at Yankee Stadium before the series opener against Baltimore.
"I'm confident the doctor will let me take swings tomorrow," Teixeira said Thursday in New York's clubhouse before the Yankees had the finale of their rain-shortened series against the Indians postponed. "I feel great and I'm getting better every day. There's no pain. I could not be happier with the progress. The plan is to take BP for a week -- it could make my wrist sore as part of the process -- but that is a definite milestone."
It's more encouraging news for the Yankees, who have gotten positive reports this week on All-Stars Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson.
Jeter has resumed on-field hitting at the team's training complex in Tampa, Fla., after being shut down last month by soreness in the left ankle he broke in the playoffs last October. Granderson, who broke his right forearm when he was hit by a pitch during spring training, was able to remove a stabilizing brace on Thursday and throw.
"That's big," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Granderson. "That means the bone has healed and it's just the rehab process and getting him to where he can play in some games and getting him back here. It's real encouraging."
Granderson posted a photo of his wrist on his Facebook page. "Brace is finally off for non-baseball activities," he wrote. "Another step closer!"
Girardi has been watching videotape of Jeter's workouts and said he's gotten favorable reports.
"I think he's OK," Girardi said when asked for the latest on the Yankees' captain. "I didn't get any alarming news."
The Yankees and Indians were washed out two straight days, cutting a four-game series down to two. No makeup date was announced, but both teams have a common open date on May 13, when they will likely play a doubleheader.
"Everybody was looking at the radar for a window," said Phil Hughes, who had his second start of the season postponed.
Hughes will not pitch until Tuesday against Arizona as Girardi will stick with his scheduled starters -- CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Andy Pettitte -- over the next three days. After coming to the ballpark on Thursday to work out, the trio returned to New York ahead of their teammates.
Teixeira, who turned 33 on Thursday, said his rehabilitation program is on schedule. When his injury was diagnosed March 6, the Yankees estimated he would need at least eight weeks to recover. If he receives the go-ahead from Rosenwasser, Teixeira expects to spend New York's six-game, seven-day homestand working his way from dry swings to hitting with a fungo bat and then soft tosses.
"Hopefully, the first day we're in Toronto (April 19), I'll take BP on the field with the team," said Teixeira, who has 338 career home runs. "Then, when we go to Tampa (April 22), I'll stay there and play some simulated games and some in extended spring training. Hopefully, I'll be back with the team after that."
Girardi was excited to hear the five-time Gold Glove winner was moving toward a return to New York's lineup.
"So far, so good," he said. "Everything has been positive in his rehab. The true steps are going to be in the swinging part. He's been strengthening it and he was in that brace for a while but everything has been encouraging so far."
Teixeira joked that once he arrives in Florida he may have to take extra precautions when facing some of the Yankees' pitching prospects.
"We'll tell those young guys to throw straight and away," Teixeira said, laughing. "We've got to protect our arms and wrists down there."
Teixeira blamed his injury on "overuse," and said he would cut back on his work load in the batting cage going forward. He has not yet been cleared to throw, but isn't concerned.
"I make like two throws a week, so there is no reason to stretch it, but I don't see it being a problem," he said. "I take so many swings being a switch-hitter. I'm going to emphasize quality over quantity from now on."
A career .279 hitter, Teixeira is wearing compression wraps on both wrists during his recovery, but he'll just tape them -- for the first time in his career -- once he begins playing in games.
Teixeira is in the fifth season of an eight-year, $180 million contract with the Yankees, who signed him as a free agent in 2009. He batted .251 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs in 123 games last season.
NOTES: OF Ichiro Suzuki was not in Wednesday's lineup because Girardi wanted to play Brennan Boesch. But although the game was rained out, Ichiro was back in right field for Thursday's game, which was eventually called. Girardi said he does not want to give the 39-year-old Ichiro two straight days off. "I'll get Boesch in there sometime this weekend," Girardi said. ... New York had 11 extra-base hits in Tuesday's 14-1 win. It was their most doubles, triples and homers in one game since 2009 and just the sixth time New York has had 11 extra-base hits in a game since 1954.

Native Youth Magazine
In this edition of Native Youth Magazine we will be looking at the past of Native American Culture, how it interacts with our present and informs our future.
Acknowledging Our Present
Alongside articles about famous Native Americans of the past, we are proud to present features about successes of the present day. The cover feature image to the right shows iconic Native American Moon Bloodgood, the star of films such as Falling Skies and Terminator Salvation arriving at the Los Angeles Premiere of 'Eight Below'.
>> Famous Native Americans
We also take a look at Native Americans in the business arena from the managers of prominent companies to influential investment firm established by the Winnebego people. Then we move on to look at the media industry, and some of the stars known around the world who come from Native American roots.
>> Native Americans in Business
>> Native Americans in Media
Remembering the Past
The cultural heritage of Native Americans is truly diverse, with unique belief systems and languages being used by each individual nation. These differences led to both unity and division within native communities long before the arrival of white settlers.
We look back to the day when most Native American cultures were comprised of what are now referred to as "nations" or "confederacies". Larger groups of natives with similar geographic ranges and lifestyles generally came together to form nations, with more specific denominations created in some instances. For example, the Iroquois were technically classified as a nation or a confederacy in European terms, however they also broke into five unique nations as well.
>> Past, Present and Future
Looking forward to the Future
The key to a Future we can look forward to rests with the education of our young people. A number of educational programs have been bolstered to provide even greater opportunities for Native American students. The federal government has created specialty internship and school scholarship programs that it hopes will help Native American youth succeed.Native American Scholarships
In response to the declining numbers in Native American enrollment at American colleges, a number of quality school scholarships designed specifically for native students have been created. These scholarships and education programs are offered through a variety of sources: tribal, federal, state, corporate, and professional organizations. These sources have different standards when it comes to who qualifies for their scholarships.
>> Native American Scholarships
Internships have become a major component in the overall plan for the betterment of native economic standing throughout the country. Since the world is becoming flooded with more and more qualified college graduates every year, it's becoming increasingly difficult for well-educated, young Native Americans to get a leg up on the competition in the job market.

The biggest prize of the week is today's Beaver County Kennel Club show in Canfield OH. With almost 2000 dogs entered today's BIS winner will have their current standing in the rankings vastly improved.
GCH CH Hill Country Tag I'm It
(Photo by Lynda Beam)
The seven dogs that hoped to persuade judge Charlotte Patterson to give him/her those points were the English Setter, GCH CH Stargaz'R 'N Wingfield Time Will Tell, the American Foxhound, GCH CH Kiarry's Pandora's Box, the Portuguese water Dog, GCH CH Claircreek's Impression de Matisse, the Airedale Terrier, GCH CH Joval Angel's Whisper, the Pug, GCH CH Hill Country Tag I'm It, the Chinese Shar-Pei, GCH CH Shine's Deck the Halls, and the German Shepherd Dog, GCH CH Wolf Creek Galaxy of Merivern.
The dog getting the points was the Portie, Matisse. The dog getting second place and a fraction of the points was the Pug, JJ. Today's win, Matisse's 49th of the year, puts him within 5,000 points of the Number One Dog, the Wire Fox, GCH CH AfterAll Painting the Sky…but then we haven't heard from the west coast yet. Stay with us. Dog Show Poop is the only online service that will tell you what every BIS means in the rankings.


text: I have a problem, and that problem is that I keep buying lipsticks that are basically the same color as each other. I have five lipsticks that are very similar brownish-rosy, "your lips but better" kind of shades. I don't even wear lipstick very often because my lips are drier than Moore County.

He shoved her against the wall. Her back hitting the concrete with a loud thud. A painful breath escaped her lips as she felt the impact surge through her back and spine. It felt like her heart crashed against her chest wall and the only reason it didn't leap out of the cavity was because her ribs didn't let it. And it wasn't just the physical impact of the shove that made her feel that way.
She fell to the ground in a trembling mess as he came running to pick her up.
"Oh my God. Shit shit shit. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." He babbled the words trying to lift her up. "I didn't mean it."
She didn't have to see the bruises to know that they had already marked her shoulders as she whimpered in pain when he touched her.
His touch.
A part of her despised it. But a part of her still warmed up to it. A part she needed to smother. Like the way his arms were smothering her as he took her in his embrace. The embrace that now felt more like gallows than home. His arms felt like thorns etching into her skin as she tried to recoil away from him but failed to do so.
"I'm so so sorry." He kept repeating the same words.
She couldn't cry. The pain was searing through her body in violent frenzy, running through her veins and lungs looking for an escape somehow. Only to return back to her heart in vain. She didn't say a word and he kept spitting some more meaningless apologies as they sat on the floor in air that reeked of heartbreak and hundred broken promises. And the only thing that was kind to them in those moments was night as it stood a silent witness to their downfall. There was nothing left between them but question marks about love, if there ever was. Even 'nothing' felt like a lot more than what they two had left between them now.

It is crucial to remain engaged when crises and active conflicts erupt, both to mitigate the consequences of such events, and to plant the seeds to transition out of fragile situations.
In situations of crises and active conflicts, the WBG can focus on protecting the human capital of vulnerable groups and selected institutions to preserve development gains and build capacity for future recovery. Engaging with international humanitarian organizations, NGOs, civil society, and local actors is often critical in insecure settings. In cases of high-intensity subnational conflict, engagement will focus on more stable areas of the country. The WBG will also monitor the macroeconomic situation and provide advice to governments to reduce negative impacts on the people and the private sector.
Under this pillar, the forum will shed light on the importance of Security Sector Reform for improved governance and service delivery, the controversial triple nexus in stabilization efforts, the challenges posed by climate shocks, mitigation strategies in fragile situations for education and how to build sustainable peace. Examples will draw on experiences from Afghanistan, the Sahel, Lake Chad and more.

The main differences between Android and iOS are few, mainly in that iOS can display fewer different kinds of cards."

No part of my statement was intended as an attack. I hope people aren't reading it that way. I had a lot of different ideas to put across, and I really didnt know what to expect. I'm relieved people are getting something out of the thread. I know some people don't agree with what I've said, but that's okay. Whether I respond directly or not, I'm reading everything that's posted. Thank you all for your responses.

I did not see the comment about talking here detracting from the actual design of games as an attack, simply as a stated opinion, esp. considering that he declared it specifically a rant.
Now, I disagree with the stated opinion, as many people obviously do, but I see no reason to defend myself.
For much of the original post, I was nodding along. It made a certain sense. However, where I disagree is that "talk is cheap". Game design is a great thing, because it is a pure form of creation. However, The act of creation does not make the created object "good". My very first RPG-design attempt, Dragon's Legend, would have Ron pouncing on it with his rubber stamp of "Fantasy Heartbreaker" in milliseconds. It was a workable game for a kid whose mother was leary of D&D, and who had no money to buy games even if she'd have let him. But it was hardly good. All the essays, theory, discussion and examples here on the Forge have increased my understanding of what makes a worthwhile game, and kept me from spewing creations with little originality or worth out, and becoming all the more frustrated by my failures to get people interested.
Additionally, for people like me discussion is crucial. I'm very much a feedback-driven creator. It takes an immense amount of obsession for me to continue working on a project that no one else is interested in. By sharing my ideas with others, not only did I refine them, but I got the feedback that helped me to continue on, and finally come to something that resembles a finished product. If I weren't typing here, I wouldn't be typing there, either.

Quote from: Buried somewhere in that massive starting post, Hunter Logan
Every word written here is one less word going into a game.
I'm embarrassed to say that I read it, and it didn't sink in at all until Pete Darby quoted it the next day. Pete's right.
I do benefit from being here. Knocking ideas around with the likes of Ron Edwards, John Kim, Bruce Baugh--I'll stop before I embarrass myself by forgetting too many of you--is very good for the ideas engine. However, I spend an inordinate amount of time reading forum posts here. Why do I do this? Because I think I can contribute something.
I think probably you've read my
">Applied Theory
article here. I could not have written that a year ago; it is a much more refined understanding of the GNS theory than I had when I created the
">Gamers Preferences Quiz
a few years ago--and the theory itself has become more refined in that time as well. I'd like to think that at some point I contributed to that refinement (at least the notion that a single player could have different goals at different points in play). Neither I nor the theory could have advanced without discussion, to the degree it has.
The question then is, does that article increase the quality and number of games, or does it waste the time of people who could be creating them? I could certainly find something else to do with my time--I really do have game products in the works on which I could be writing, typing, mapping, editing, even now. Sometimes those products benefit from these discussions; but I could just read and get much of the benefit in less time.
In ministry, it is axiomatic that the truly great ministers are the ones know one knows. Dr. J. Edwin Orr is not a household world; but it was part of his ministry that helped Billy Graham, Campus Crusade for Christ's Bill Bright, former Senate Chaplain Dick Halverson, and half a dozen other relatively famous and visibly successful ministers find their focus and get started. How many better games have been written because Ron Edwards periodically publishes another free article about these theories? How many times has he stated on one of these boards that something has suddenly become clearer to him because of the discussions?
Twenty years ago, Ron and I and a few others might have stumbled on each other, and shared ideas through correspondence slowly over time, helping each other find new approaches and insights, which led to a few games from each of us. Today that can be shared with hundreds.
If no one is benefitting from my contributions here, why am I making them?
I'll consider that rhetorical.
Quote from: Now to turn around and pick on what Pete Darby
And, to channel Ryan Dancey for a moment, the multiplicity of game systems leads to a breakdown of Network Externalities: many people inside and outside the hobby baulk at learning new rule sets, no matter the lightness of the rules.
And this is unique to what?
I can't get my wife to learn Bridge. She knows Pinochle, Canasta, Pit, Casino, and Gin, at least (she's played Whist, Rummy, and a slew of other games), but she doesn't think there's any reason to learn another card game. She can't get me to play Canasta, because I've been creamed too many times at that game and really don't enjoy it. People who have found a game or a few games they like, in the main, don't keep buying or learning more of them. There are, of course, exceptions. We buy several board games every year, and have our eyes out for some that we once had but lost, and keep playing the old ones. We're not happy with all the ones we've got, but we do play a lot of them recurrently. Most people, if they own three board games they figure that's enough for all the game nights they're likely to have for the rest of their lives. If it's true for card players and board game players that they tend to settle on one or a small number of games after a while and not try new things, why should it be different for role playing gamers? I think most of the designers who try to break out with something new and different do so because they think they've got something for players who have not found satisfaction yet. For me, I had three problems with the games I had played. One was that I liked to play in a lot of different milieus, settings, and genres, but that meant I had to have a lot of different games going, and I had to go from one to another from week to week--and not all the players wanted to play in all the same kinds of worlds as I. The second was that I hated character death; I grew very attached to my characters, and didn't see any reason why they couldn't live for the rest of my life. Thirdly, I hated to have the stories end. I wanted to know what happened next. When Multiverser came along, and I saw how elegantly this addressed my problems (and others), I became involved in trying to make it available to everyone. Similarly, Ron created Sorcerer to be the game he had been seeking, with the belief that there were other gamers out there seeking something similar. New games aren't for the people who have found the games that make them happy; they're for the people who are still looking, still trying new things. That's true in every hobby, isn't it?

As this is my thread, I will take the last word. Clearly, the last paragraph of my rant was problematic for some people, and I take the responsibility for not being better able to articulate my thoughts. I suggest that people not read too much into it. Hindsight being 20/20, I probably should have simply omitted that paragraph; but we all know about "coulda, woulda, shoulda." Of all the comments, Gordon's response hits closest to what I intended. Gordon, thanks for that. If anyone has a reason to feel offended, Mike Holmes would be highest on the list. Of all the games I have seen or read about lately, Universalis is one that really does seem to do everything I was talking about and thinking about in terms of stretching the envelope. From all the data I can gather, it is an outstanding effort, and I intend to procure a copy in the near future. Unless someone has something truly new or different to offer, I consider this thread closed.

Jeff reads Hunter's post, smiling slightly and nodding to himself. Then he reaches the final paragraph, tilts his head 45 degrees, grimaces confusedly. "WTF?"
Jeff frowns.
Whatever. Jeff acknowledges that he should be getting off to bed, and talking about himself in the third person is unhealthy. He'll think about it later, and maybe make more intelligent comments when his brain has cleared.
Jeff is going to go do stuff now.

For the future, please note that only moderators can close threads. With that said, Hunter's right here in that the discussion seems to have run its course.

I've got a nice Gingerbread Pudding for you. It's a bit of work but scrumsous!GINGERBREAD PUDDINGS WITH CANDIED APPLES Ingredients Candied apple garnish 8 cups unsweetened apple cider or apple juice 1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/3-inch cubes (about 4 1/2 cups) 3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar Gingerbread 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar 1 large egg 3/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses 1/2 cup boiling water Puddings 3 cups whole milk 2 4-inch-long pieces fresh ginger (about 4 ounces), peeled, thickly sliced 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns 4 large eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground ginger Pinch of salt Ice cream or crème fraîche**Available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores. preparation For candied apple garnish: Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until apples are soft and translucent and cider coats apples thickly, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours. Transfer to bowl and cool. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving. For gingerbread: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Whisk first 7 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add brown sugar and egg and beat until blended. Beat in molasses, then flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, stir in 1/2 cup boiling water. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake gingerbread until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer pan to rack and cool gingerbread completely in pan. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pan with foil; let stand at room temperature. For pudding: Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine milk, fresh ginger, and peppercorns in heavy medium saucepan; bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, ground ginger, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into egg mixture. Strain custard into medium bowl; discard solids in strainer. Cut enough gingerbread into 1/2-inch cubes to measure 5 1/3 cups (reserve any remaining gingerbread for another use). Divide gingerbread cubes among eight 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins. Pour custard over gingerbread in each cup, dividing equally. Let stand 15 minutes to allow gingerbread to absorb some custard. Place cups in roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of cups. Cover pan with foil. Bake puddings until set, about 1 hour. Remove from water bath. Serve puddings warm or at room temperature, topped with candied apple garnish and ice cream.

When I was in high school, I worked as a waitress, slinging hot cakes and hash at my local IHOP. My plan: to drive off to college in a lightly-used red sports car.
Then my father presented me with my college tuition bill. He asked me to pay the first monthly installment: $1,600.
My sports-car dream was dashed, but I gained something more important that my parents wanted for me: the awareness a degree doesn't just come with hitting the books—it costs serious cash.
Surprisingly, a growing number of parents agree: A recent survey from Legg Mason found that among affluent families, 72% believe that children should pay a portion of their college expenses. "Parents have decided to use the college experience as an opportunity to teach their children not just about overall responsibility, but also about fiscal responsibility," says John Kenney, head of Legg Mason's Global Asset Allocation Group.
It's a good instinct: When kids contribute, they gain a sense of financial responsibility. As my dad said to me, "Now you'll be less likely to slack off or flunk out."
But with the unemployment rate among teens at close to 24% these days, is it realistic to expect students to find a job, let alone help pay their way in college?
Share the burden. Did you pay some or all of your college education?

Cole was never supposed to contact me, ever. I give him what he wants but he still wants more, he owns me in all the wrong ways, I hate him.

I can't have him. He deserves better.

Sorting out the major winners and losers of this week — with a bottom-line twist — in the world of sports:
Lots of sport business love to go around this Easter weekend, from heritage brand logos to curling as a television sport and the growing clout of the Los Angeles sport market and Canadian basketball.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders deserve kudos for recognizing that history, tradition and identity are among their greatest assets as the most popular CFL franchise in the country. Their new logo is their old logo with only minor changes and that's the way it should be when your club was founded in 1910 and has brandished a consistent look since 1985.
The Green Riders recognize what they are and what they have and govern themselves accordingly. That's why only the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs sell more branded jerseys in Canada.
Curling TV numbers are down slightly this year but still regularly hitting 400K and above for the recently completed Scotties Tournament of Hearts and Tim Hortons Brier, giving TSN some strong showings among the top-10 sport television shows each of the last three weeks.
Meanwhile, fans of the seven Canadian NHL teams can only look wistfully at California where — in a state roughly the size of Canada in terms of population — all three hockey clubs are warming up for the Stanley Cup tournament. It's noteworthy that L.A. is the hottest real estate in North American professional sport these days, with the return of the NFL Rams, an NHL All-Star Game in 2017 to mark the 50th anniversary of the LA Kings and now an NBA All-Star Game in the same building — the Staples Center — in 2018.
Yet there's nothing more bullish right now than the outlook for Canadian basketball after a terrific CIS Final Eight at UBC (congratulations, Carleton Ravens) and the showcase that is NCAA March Madness. With two dozen Canadians in the U.S. college basketball tournament and more than 90 playing Division I NCAA hoops, it's not hard to envision the current Canadian content in the NBA — 11 players — doubling and tripling over the next five to 10 years. All one needs is look at the fledgling Oregon Ducks program, into the Elite Eight with three Canadians in tow: Chris Boucher, Dillon Brooks and Dylan Ennis.
There was no bigger individual loser than former South African tennis pro and doubles specialist Raymond Moore, now the former CEO and tournament director of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif. And the NFL had a bearish week by again playing coy on concussions after last week's public admission around the link between repeated head trauma and CTE.
Yet there is no bigger mess than the dispute between Major League Baseball, the L.A. Dodgers and Time Warner on one side and DirecTV on the other. The Dodgers made headlines with their eye-popping $8.2 billion US regional rights deal with Time Warner but have made bigger headlines in the two years since because the majority of their fans still do not have access to their games on Sportsnet L.A. It's an alarming warning for all sports leagues and franchises about what can happen when you push too hard on dollars (and in this case that's on both the Dodgers and Time Warner).
Tom Mayenknecht is host of The Sport Market on TSN 1040 and TSN Radio, where he regularly rates and debates the Bulls & Bears of sports business. He reviews the major winners and losers of the past week every Saturday in The Vancouver Sun.

With the avalanche of celebrity-turned-lifestyle-experts, it's easy to glaze over when they pull out the script: my family comes first, helping other women live more fulfilling lives, I just do this for fun but I'm really a wife/mom, cooking and cleaning are my hobbies, etc. We expect this narrative because no one can really say, "I need a steady cash flow and the roles are few and far between." It would be awesome if they did, but then how could they represent a crockery line or hair dye company?
In a recent interview with the Associated Press via Yahoo! OMG!, Drew Barrymore decided to share how her own men are from Mars, women are from Venus theory:
"I have a very male side of me that just loves business. I love producing. I love the rules. I love how to achieve getting financing for things, you know, staying within budget, on time, going into boardrooms and like fighting the good fight for things I really like," she said. "But I'm at a stage in my life where I really appreciate the womanly creativity more than ever. Being a mom and making babies and thinking about what women want and what they need, what they deserve. So it fulfills that creative, sensitive side as well. So it's a perfect business for me to be in, and I get to go home at night and be with my family, which is everything."
What does this even mean? Does she really think men are better at budgets and business, while woman need hearth and home? And on the flip side, what does being a woman have to do with creativity? There are plenty of uncreative women and very creative men. How does "making babies" help her decide on which wines to offer and which lipstick colours she likes? (And in what world is any of this "fighting the good fight"?)
It's frustrating to hear because Drew IS a business person. She was before she had a husband or a family – a success story in an extremely cutthroat industry. She survived child stardom, a stage mother, and a being a female over 25 in Hollywood. Maybe she's over the acting side of it - I get that. But she clearly still likes the hunt, or she wouldn't have started a wine company and a cosmetics company that sells at Walmart. And while it's a little confusing from a branding perspective, there's nothing wrong with the ambition. She's good at it and estrogen hasn't made her too delicate for negotiations and contracts and, you know, manly things.
For someone who produced a "girl power" Charlie's Angels reboot, I don't get this "Math class is tough!" act. She's just so much smarter than this, you know?
Thanks to Liza for sending this in!

Karst, Springs, Losing Streams and Caves in Missouri
Karst in Missouri
Karst is a landscape characterized by the presence of caves, springs, sinkholes and losing streams. Because of this karst topography, Missouri is home to not only large rivers and beautiful streams, we have plentiful underground water resources as well. Fifty-nine percent of the state is underlain by thick, carbonate rock units that host a wide variety of karst features. According to the Missouri Speleological Survey, there are now more than 6,000 known caves in Missouri. A spring database maintained by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources currently lists more than 3,000 springs in the state. Sinkholes have been inventoried in only a few counties: Greene County reports more than 2,500, and Perry County reports more than 7,000. Losing streams have not been fully inventoried statewide, but there are hundreds of miles of losing streams recorded, and probably twice that much that are unrecorded.
karst – A landscape characterized by the presence of caves, springs, sinkholes and losing streams, created as groundwater dissolves soluble rock such as limestone or dolomite.
cave – A natural cavity beneath the earth's surface. Caves are formed when slightly acidic water combines with limestone or dolomitic rock, and dissolves the rock, creating a cavity.
spring– A natural discharge of water from a rock or soil to the surface.
sinkhole– A rounded depression in the landscape formed when an underground cavity collapses.
losing stream– A surface stream that loses a significant amount of its flow to the subsurface through bedrock openings.
limestone – A sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate; a rock of marine origin derived from the lime mud and ooze that accumulated on calm, shallow sea floors.

Has your mom never experienced the joy of judging the women on Toddlers & Tiaras, Little Miss Perfect, and Dance Moms? Perhaps this Valentine's Day you should let her know just how "cuh-razy" other moms can be with a card that reads:
Some moms spray-tan their kids and enter them in pageants. Some are stage moms that put you to work, then spend all your money. There are even moms who get lots of surgery and try to be mistaken as your sister.
It's only a matter of time before florists start offering the "Thanks For Not Getting Me High on Mountain Dew and Forcing Me to Wear a Flipper" arrangement with reusable vase.

This week, a trial in a Los Angeles County courtroom is pitting Bridget B. against her former husband, John B. The couple, whose full names aren't being made public, are battling each other over whether he gave her a potentially deadly disease — HIV.
Not only is it a heartbreaking case, but it poses questions that could affect the way you approach your sex life: Are you liable if you pass a sexually transmitted disease to a lover? What if you did not know you were infected? What if you didn't know for sure, but your actions with other people put you at risk for being infected?
It is well-established law that a person who knows he or she has an infectious disease and deliberately or recklessly infects another is civilly, and sometimes criminally, liable.
But a recent spate of cases is calling into question whether plaintiffs are liable even if they say they didn't know about their STD status.
Ten years ago, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled that a wife who sued her philandering husband for giving her HPV, the human papillomavirus, was not entitled to a judgment largely because he had no physical symptoms of HPV infection, had no medical diagnosis of HPV infection and could not have known he was infected — if he ever was.
Proof is hard to come by for HPV infection because though some strains can cause cancer and warts, more often there are no symptoms. The virus is typically cleared by the body without the infected person knowing he or she ever had it. Plus, most sexually active adults are exposed to it at some point in their lives.
But in a civil lawsuit, the level of proof is lower than it is in a criminal case. Rather than "beyond a reasonable doubt," it is "preponderance of the evidence."
Now fast forward to August, when a jury in Iowa awarded $1.5 million to young woman after she claimed that her boyfriend, a dentist, had infected her with HPV even though her lawyer agrees that it is "virtually impossible" to definitively prove it.
Given that, denying you have had an STD, or even that you have one now, is a minefield, says Jeff Tronvold, the Cedar Rapids attorney who represented the young woman in Iowa.
"If 75 percent of people are exposed to HPV, then everybody should know they had it at one point," he says. If you deny it to a partner, "you have already met, in my opinion, the civil burden [of proof] because you just lied. You should say, 'I have no signs, but I cannot tell you I never had it.' This could change the way we all date."
A few days before the Iowa verdict came in, the wife of a New York investment banker filed a lawsuit against her husband for a reported $25 million, accusing him of giving her HPV and arguing that he contracted it from prostitutes on business trips. Back in Iowa, Tronvold says he's been contacted by two more potential plaintiffs who think lovers infected them with an STD.
Who infected whom?
Serious as HPV can be, none of those cases are as heartbreaking as Bridget B.'s.
"Both of them were very successful businesspeople," explains one of Bridget's lawyers, Kathleen Grassini. "They met at a convention for [MBA holders] in 1998 and he swept her off her feet." As their relationship deepened, Grassini alleges, John asked Bridget to stop insisting on condoms during sex, arguing that he was healthy and monogamous. She agreed.
They were engaged on New Year's Eve, 1999, and had a "blowout" wedding the following summer.
On the honeymoon, Bridget didn't feel well, and neither did John. After returning, Bridget, who had moved to Los Angeles to be with John, went to her new husband's doctor. The doctor diagnosed HIV infection and told Bridget that she had brought the virus into the marriage. John was tested and he turned up positive, too. Both now have AIDS.
Bridget was crushed with guilt. Suddenly both her new marriage — and her life — were in danger. "She thought, here is my straight husband and I love him. He could not have done this," Grassini says. John also told other people that Bridget had given him HIV.
Then Bridget found some e-mails. According to court papers filed in the case, Bridget "learned that before and during their marriage defendant engaged in promiscuous, unprotected homosexual sex and solicited homosexual sex over the Internet." They were divorced not long after that and Bridget sued, asking for monetary damages.
John still insists that she gave him AIDS, not the other way around.
The case has resembled trench warfare, but it has already established new law. Bridget's lawyers may not be able to definitively prove that John knew he was infected with HIV (though there are suspicions he did know) but rulings so far in the case have changed California law to say that you are not only liable if you know for a fact you have an STD and transmit it to another person, you may also be liable if you "reasonably should have known."
That's the main question the trial is exploring.
In the Iowa case, Tronvold convinced a jury that the dentist led a promiscuous sex life, was having sex with at least one other woman at the same time and that his client's cervical lesions (created by HPV) occurred only after the start of their relationship. The jury felt the preponderance of the evidence was enough.

Leaders disappointed over exit of NAACP's Jealous
- Al Sharpton said he%27s known Jealous since he was a student leader at Columbia
- Melanie Campbell said civil rights work never ends%2C and work with Jealous will go on
- Marc Morial said he asked NAACP president to reconsider when he got the news
Civil rights leaders who've worked closely with exiting NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said Monday they regretted that he plans to leave his post by year's end and recalled moments protesting and working with him dating back to his student days at Columbia University.
Jealous told USA TODAY that he decided to resign, effective Dec. 31, to spend more time with his wife, Lia Epperson, and children Morgan, 7, and Jack, 13 months.
National Urban League President Marc Morial said Jealous called him and told him the news on Saturday, one day before it became public.
"I wish he'd change his mind. 'We need you. Rethink it,' " Morial said. "It's always tough times (in demanding roles) and sometimes you wake up and say, 'Am I doing the right thing?' "
He added, "There's no doubt that these jobs are incredibly challenging because you are a national organization and you are also visible and in high demand."
Morial, Jealous, Al Sharpton of the National Action Network and Melanie Campbell of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation had increasingly been working together to present a unified front on issues ranging from the government's response to Hurricane Katrina to jointly expressing beliefs that black Florida teen Trayvon Martin was racially profiled when neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman fatally shot him in February 2012.
Morial said the most effective project he thinks the group put together was a convening of civil rights and grass-roots leaders in Washington last year to share ideas and thoughts on what issues should be their priorities.
"I think it was historic because something of that magnitude had not been achieved in many, many decades," he said.
Al Sharpton, president and founder of the National Action Network, said he received the news of Jealous' upcoming departure with "mixed emotions." He said he has worked with Jealous since the NAACP president was a student leader at Columbia University and was arrested in protesting the fatal shooting by four NYC police officers of African immigrant Amadou Diallo, said to resemble a rape suspect.
"I am happy that he has done so well and leaves his post with no scandal, shame or physical challenges, and young enough to have a bright future," Sharpton said in a statement. "There is sadness, however, because for the last several years, he has joined Marc Morial, Melanie Campbell (of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation) and me as we tried to broaden the civil rights leadership of the 21st century movement."
Sharpton said Jealous has "operated with integrity."
"Not only was he able to revive the NAACP and raise its budget to higher heights, he joined us in the streets in real civil rights activity on the ground," Sharpton said. "From the 'suites to the streets' he will be missed as head of the NAACP but I am sure he will not leave us in his contribution to the struggle."
Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civil participation, said she's known and worked with Jealous for many year, even when he headed the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a coalition of black newspapers, from 1999 to 2001.
"Knowing how much of a family man he is, I can only respect that his decision is one that's good for him," Campbell said.
She said she expected to continue working with him, no matter what capacity. "The work continues. It's like a river. It never stops," Campbell said.
Jealous suggested to USA TODAY that the NAACP might be looking at installing its first female president. Campbell said she thought the idea is a great one. When asked, she said she had not been approached about the job.
Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, a group that operates separately from the NAACP, credits Jealous with strong coalition building and voter mobilization.
"We have been particularly happy to work with Ben Jealous, who has brought energy, strategic vision and tireless advocacy to his work as the NAACP president," she said in a statement.

Minestrone fits the bill perfectly. Made in one pot and most ingredients can be found in your fridge and pantry.
Any vegetables can be used in this soup. Peas, broccoli, potatoes... each will lend a different flavor. But use what you have! There is no need to make an extra trip to the store.
The carrots and green beans can be fresh or frozen. I like to buy large bags of organic carrots and chop or grate them and freeze for future uses. A little preparation goes a long way in the future. Also, you can use canned beans or equivalent amount of soaked and boiled beans. And you can even use frozen tomatoes! Gracious Granny freezes her tomatoes (whole but de-seeded) every summer to make sauces and soups later on.
Minestrone Soup
4 28 oz cans of diced tomatoes
2 organic yellow onions
3 large garlic cloves
2 cups diced carrots
2 cups cut green beans
2 cups brown rice macaroni (gluten-free)
6 cups broth, chicken or vegetable
3 cups beans (I used one can each kidney and garbanzo beans)
1 TB grapeseed oil
1 bay leaf
2 tsp Italian seasoning
Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
1. Chop onions and add to pot with 1 TB grapeseed oil. Sautee on low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Mince garlic and add to pot. Turn up to medium high for several minutes until garlic becomes fragrant and browns a little (don't burn).
3. Add broth, chopped veggies, bay leaf, and remaining herbs. Boil veggies until softened. About 15 minutes (from boil).
4. Add tomatoes, beans, and noodles. Bring to boil and cook noodles until done (8-12 minutes depending on type of noodles - look to their directions when buying gluten-free noodles).
5. Serve with olives and enjoy!
I usually wait until it's completely cool and freeze one or two servings for Witty Husband who loves a bowl of soup and bread for lunch or dinner.

Java Language Integrity & Security: Uncovering Bytecodes
This series, The Object-Oriented Thought Process, is intended for someone just learning an object-oriented language and who wants to understand the basic concepts before jumping into the code, or someone who wants to understand the infrastructure behind an object-oriented language he or she is already using. These concepts are part of the foundation that any programmer will need to make the paradigm shift from procedural programming to object-oriented programming.
Click here to start at the beginning of the series.
In keeping with the code examples used in the previous articles, Java will be the language used to implement the concepts in code. One of the reasons that I like to use Java is because you can download the Java compiler for personal use at the Sun Microsystems Web site http://java.sun.com/. You can download the standard edition, J2SE 5.0, at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp to compile and execute these applications. I often reference the Java J2SE 5.0 API documentation and I recommend that you explore the Java API further. Code listings are provided for all examples in this article as well as figures and output (when appropriate). See the first article in this series for detailed descriptions for compiling and running all the code examples.
In the previous column, you explored some of the behaviors of serialization and how it relates to the topics of performance and security. In this article, you will begin an exploration of the bytecodes that are produced when source files are compiled and how this affects performance and security. This path will lead you into some interesting discussions on how the bytecode is interpreted in relation to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
The code examples in this series are meant to be a hands-on experience. There are many code listings and figures of the output produced from these code examples. Please boot up your computer and run these exercises as you read through the text.
Inspecting Classes
The bytecode model provides many advantages; however, as always seems to be the case, there are some drawbacks as well. When a compiled language is used, and a statically linked executable is produced, the resulting machine code is quite difficult to reengineer.
Reengineering can mean many things, from re-creating the original design to reproducing the original source code. Although the previous sentence uses the words reengineering, re-create and reproduce, the Java documentation uses another word, disassemble. The Java toolkit actually provides a tool, called javap, for simple disassembly. The term disassemble can raise some eyebrows because at certain levels it is inappropriate; however, you will use the practice here in an instructional sense.
In languages that produce bytecodes, the practice of disassembling code has one goal in mind: Take the bytecodes and reverse-engineer them to produce source code that is effectively identical to the original source code.
Statically Linked Executables
However, decompiling code also has an educational benefit. Please return to the issue of the statically linked language. Languages such as C, C++, and FORTRAN go through a compile/link process that produces what is called a statically linked module. In a MS Windows environment, these models are sometimes referred to as executables and have an .EXE extension. Figure 1 shows the process by which statically linked executables are produced.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 1: Statically Linked Applications
Note that the link process can accept multiple inputs, not just a single object module. This is what the term link means, a executable module can contain code that is 'linked' together from various places. For example, besides an object module produced from a single file, a developer can 'link' other modules, including those produced by other developers as well as libraries, possibly from third party vendors.
The other term that is pertinent here is 'statically.' All of the linked modules produce an executable that is static, not dynamic, as are the examples you will explore later. A search on Google finds a definition for statically linked as follows:
|Definitions of statically linked on the Web:
Linked as a physical part of an executable file. The linkage between calls and subprograms is completely fixed at link time. See dynamically linked.
The operative part of this definition is the part that says: The linkage between calls and subprograms is completely fixed at link time. It is also interesting to see that the term dynamically linked is part of the definition, as an opposite. The issue is that in a statically linked executable, everything is pre-determined. This has its advantages; it also has its disadvantages. The primary advantage is that everything you need is always there; the disadvantage is that everything you need is always there.
This issue is as the heart of a major hindrance when it comes to size. As you may imagine, sending a large, statically linked executable over a network poses a significant problem. As an example, if you are loading a module over a network, it may be a good idea to only download the functionality that you need. This is one of the problems with a statically linked executable. If everything is part of the package, including the kitchen sink, what happens when you don't need the kitchen sink? The more basic question is, Why send the kitchen sink over the network if you don't even want it?
As you understand, a statically linked executable, such as a Microsoft Windows .EXE file, can be run only on a Windows platform. This is both an advantage and a significant limitation. The lack of portability causes significant problems when it comes to platform-independent applications such as web pages. In fact, a web developer has no clue as to what platform a user is surfing the web with. Thus, a web application must be able to support several different platforms. However, the browser itself is a statically linked application and must be created on each individual platform.
As you have seen, executables contain the machine language of the host machine. Thus, it is not portable across platforms. For example, you can use the Java compiler itself.
Although Java is not a statically linked language (it is actually a dynamically loaded language), the Java tools provided for specific platforms are statically linked executables. If you take a look at the Java installation directory, you can see that the bin directory contains a lot of Windows executables; one of them is the Java compiler, javac.exe. Figure 2 shows a screen shot of the Java executables contained in this directory. You will recognize many of the tools that are used in application development, such as the compiler (javac.exe) the virtual machine (java.exe), and so forth.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 2: Statically Linked Java Applications
The issue here is that these are Microsoft Windows applications only. You could not copy this version of javac.exe and run it directly on a UNIX machine.

Marine abducted, shot dead in Thailand's south
Police say a marine private has been abducted and shot dead in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south.
Police Lt. Ratchasit Luelan says eight masked men wearing military-style outfits kidnapped 24-year-old Ma-ila Tohlu from his house in Narathiwat's Rue So district on Monday night.
He said Wednesday that the marine's body was found behind a mosque in Pattani province Tuesday night. Authorities said he was blindfolded and shot in the head while his hands were tied.
Marine Cmdr. Thammanoon Wanna said the motive for the killing was not clear.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in Thailand's three southernmost provinces since an Islamist insurgency erupted in 2004.

This dissertation studies the larger issue of antibiotic resistance with respect to how antibiotics are being introduced into the environment, focusing on two major anthropogenic pathways: animal husbandry for human consumption, and the recycling of wastewater and municipal sludge generated during conventional biological sewage treatment. For animal production on land (agriculture) antibiotics are often used for growth enhancement and increased feed efficiency. For animal production in water (aquaculture) antibiotics are often used as a prophylactic. I found that the same antibiotics are being used in both industries and that the same strains of human pathogens have also been isolated from …

The corporate glass ceiling remains firmly in place at companies based in California, according to a study released Wednesday.
The University of California, Davis study found women account for about 10 percent of executives and board members at the 400 largest publicly traded companies headquartered in California. The findings have changed little since the first survey in 2005.
"Unfortunately, we've seen virtually no progress," said Steven Currall, dean of the university's Graduate School of Management. "Our findings paint a somewhat disappointing picture."
He said more diverse leadership is needed to help California corporations succeed in a global economy.
The university's annual survey comes from reports the companies file with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission. Nearly 30 percent of the companies had no women in executive or board positions.
California's corporate gender mix is similar to that in many companies nationwide, said Wendy Beecham, chief executive of the Palo Alto-based Forum for Women Entrepreneurs & Executives, which helped promote the study.
She cited national research showing companies with the highest concentration of women in leadership are more profitable than those with low representation. Women may take a longer-term view for both profits and risk, Beecham said.
Researchers also found that companies with no female directors or managers had the poorest performance on environmental matters. Those with women on their boards and as executives had the highest environmental rankings, as measured by an independent group not affiliated with the graduate school.
The study found women hold less than 10 percent of the seats on the boards of directors for California corporations and less than 12 percent of top executive positions, such as chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and chief information officer. Both figures are lower than a year ago.
Nearly half the companies have no female executives, and just 15 of the top 400 companies have a woman as chief executive, up from 13 in 2008.
This year's survey was released as two women who have climbed to the top of major California companies are playing prominent roles on the political stage. Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is running for governor, and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina is seeking a seat in the U.S. Senate. Both are Republicans.
