As the flurry of renewals and cancellations stepped up a gear yesterday, there was good news for fans of V, the decent remake of the 1980s classic about alien invaders, and sci-fi spy comedy-drama Chuck.
V, starring Elizabeth Mitchell – previously best-known for playing Juliet in Lost – and Firefly's Morena Baccarin, has been renewed for a second season by US network ABC.
Meanwhile NBC has committed to a fourth season of the acclaimed, but ratings-starved, Chuck.
Bad news, however, for fans of FlashForward, which has reportedly been canceled and will not be back after season one ends – guess we should have seen that one coming…
However, we were always promised that season one would be self-contained and that any future seasons would deal with new flash forwards, so at least we should get a resolution of sorts to the story.
I'm very sad, but not surprised, also to report the demise of Heroes, a show whose five-seasons will, in the future, surely serve as a case study of how NOT to run a TV show.
During its first season, it was the hottest new property on network TV but it was systematically destroyed through a lack of any apparent show-running ability, poor creative decisions, dire plotting and convoluted story arcs that often went nowhere or made no sense. In the end, it seems, they couldn't save the cheerleader.
It's been a busy time over the past days and weeks for those who get to decide the future of your favourite TV shows, so here's a quick rundown of what's happening with the rest of your favourites on the five big networks: ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS and The CW.
Renewed: Castle, Cougar Town, Modern Family, The Middle, The Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife, How I Met Your Mother, Two And A Half Men, Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Bones, Fringe, Glee, Human Target, Lie To Me, The Simpsons, 30 Rock, Community, Friday Night Lights, Law & Order: SVU, The Office, Parenthood, Parks & Recreation, 90210, Gossip Girl, Smallville, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, NCIS: Los Angeles.
Canceled: Better Off Ted, Hank, Romantically Challenged, Scrubs, Ugly Betty, 24, Dollhouse, Past Life, 'Til Death, Law & Order, Mercy, Trauma.
The following are those shows that have yet to have their futures decided. Those in green are generally considered dead certs or good bets for renewal, those in red long shots and those in black are thought to be 50/50:
The Bachelor, Brothers & Sisters, The Deep End, Desperate Housewives, The Forgotten, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Accidentally on Purpose, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Gary Unmarried, Ghost Whisperer, Medium, The Mentalist, NCIS, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Numb3rs, Rules of Engagement, Brothers, House, Life Unexpected, Melrose Place, One Tree Hill.

I just recently downloaded the Oni demo and placed the Daodan.dll in the Oni main folder and got it working fine. The problem I'm having is when I put the game on full screen resolution the game seems to be not wanting to work well with me. The game loads and works fine is all. I just want to know why the demo is lagging. I have a quad-core PC and it should be fine during gameplay. But for some reason when I move Konoko around and all that, the game lags a tad bit. If anyone can help me can you help me solve the problem? I want to be able to get this fixed when ever I buy the full version of the game. Thanks. I'm on Windows 7 btw. And I have a wide screen monitor... Don't know if its the monitor or the ram that's causing it to lag. Any help would appreciate it.

How Apple Procurement Works - Guidance for Suppliers
Updated: May 4
Suppliers at Apple
Apple requires each of its suppliers to meet the highest standards for all goods and services. Apple's requirements include a commitment to rigorous quality assurance. In addition, suppliers must be committed, as Apple is, to ensuring the highest standards of social responsibility.
The ideal suppliers are those who understand Apple's culture and expectations. Apple values suppliers who take the time to learn about and understand its business and who look for ways to add value. These suppliers know the importance of making and meeting commitments and delivering the highest quality goods and services.
Apple's business environment is competitive and fast-paced. The company's suppliers must understand this dynamic and be agile and flexible in responding to changing business conditions. Above all, Apple values innovation. It appreciates suppliers who truly understand and share in company's challenges, and who help Apple find the best possible solutions.
Supplier Diversity Program
Apple takes its social and environmental responsibilities seriously. A good example is company's strong and longstanding commitment to a diverse supplier base.
Apple's Supplier Diversity Program was formally established in 1993; since that time the company has continued growing and supporting the long list of suppliers who participate. Apple actively participates in the program through the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), and Veteran–Owned Business Expositions, as well as Supplier Diversity Business Opportunity Trade Fairs around the country.
The businesses Apple categorizes as diverse suppliers are Minority-Owned, Women-Owned, Veteran-Owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, as well as businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business regions (HUBZone) and Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB).
So how does a business join Apple's Supplier Diversity Program? That's simple: You start by registering as a prospective supplier. Following a swift verification and screening process to ensure a good fit between supplier strengths and capabilities and Apple's current and future requirements, Apple reviews the supplier information. The business then becomes a potential supplier who may be used in the procurement process as business needs dictate. In the interest of encouraging the success of company's diverse supplier base, Apple works with the Supplier Diversity Program participants to help them develop their businesses. This often involves working with a number of organizations that offer training and feedback.
Suppliers who wish to participate in Apple's Supplier Diversity Program should register as a Prospective Supplier so their information is available in Apple's prospective supplier database. Apple has included special areas within the database to alert the supplier diversity team and relevant procurement professionals about the availability of qualified participants in Apple's Supplier Diversity Program. This helps increase the visibility of these suppliers and can improve their potential for engagement.
Sourcing Process
Apple's sourcing process is designed to ensure equal and fair treatment of suppliers so that they can fully participate in a competitive procurement process.
Apple asks suppliers wishing to participate in the process to register in Supplier Connect, a secure online database that company maintains with regularly updated information on current and potential suppliers. Supplier Connect enables Apple procurement professionals to access key information about potential and current suppliers, including capabilities, Supplier Diversity certifications, product/service descriptions, Universal Standard Products and Services Classification (UNSPSC) codes, contact information, and so on.
The First Step
The first step any supplier should take in seeking opportunities to do business with Apple is to register in Supplier Connect. If your company registers in Supplier Connect and there's a need for the type of products or services you provide, an Apple procurement professional can then contact you to explore potential opportunities.
If there's no immediate opportunity for engagement (as sometimes happens), the information will remain in Apple's confidential Supplier Information Database for six months or for as long as you continue visiting Apple's procurement website to keep your company's information up to date.
Please note that all purchases are made in the competitive marketplace. Registering your company in Supplier Connect does not automatically place your company on a "bidder's list," nor does it constitute approval of your firm as an Apple supplier or obligate Apple to solicit requests for quotations.
Register with Supplier Connect - Two steps are required to register in Supplier Connect. First create a My Access account. Once your My Access account is created you will receive a notification to register your company in Supplier Connect.

Many of Premier Alison Redford's MLAs and ministers are still deeply unhappy about her $45,000 trip to South Africa, but so far, the controversy has been trapped under a dome of official silence.
Until government MLA Steve Young took a phone call on Tuesday.
"The $45,000 is, I think, inconsistent with Alberta values," Young told me. "It's certainly the topic of conversation among my colleagues. I don't know how I could say I'm happy about it."
"My sense is that people are saying, 'That $45,000, that's not an Alberta value.' It's the non-adherence to our values, not necessarily the person."
Asked if Redford should pay back the money, Young said: "That's been suggested. There's many ways to deal with mistakes. One is to say I'm sorry, another is to say I won't do it again. One is to pay it back. It's her call."
Redford has expressed regret and apologized, but refused to repay any portion of the tab.
Young added: "People sometimes say to me: 'Do you like the premier?'
"Liking doesn't have anything to do with it. If I'm going for a beer, I'm not gonna go with her. I'm more likely to go for a beer with (Wildrose MLA) Ian Donovan.
"But it's about the role (of premier), fulfilling the role, and the values and what's best for the party and province."
The Edmonton-Riverview MLA, who was Redford's caucus whip until December, made the comments as restive government MLAs prepare for a caucus meeting Thursday, the first since the controversy exploded.
Until Young spoke, no Progressive Conservative MLA had uttered a public word of criticism. There's still no word of defence, either.
Redford incurred the $45,000 travel cost during a five-day trip to South Africa for the observance of Nelson Mandela's death in December.
Mixed in with the government's "sunshine list" that showed high staff salaries, and last week's court slapdown of a draconian labour law, the trip has quickly become a poisonous political symbol.
"It's always how every conversation starts in the coffee shops, which to me is problematic, because I'm more of an advocate or policy conversation guy," says Young.
Other MLAs and ministers privately exchange stories about the discontent they face in their ridings.
There's some talk that the matter will be raised directly to Redford at the Thursday meeting.
Asked if he'd lead the way, Young simply said: "That's a good question."
The PCs will doubtless try to discredit Young as a man with a grudge.
Named by the premier as the associate minister of public safety on Dec. 6, she dumped him before the swearing-in ceremony the following week.
As an Edmonton police officer, Young had faced a disciplinary hearing for his role in the Tasering of a suspect in 2004.
The use of the Taser was ruled appropriate, but Young was charged with deceiving his superiors about his role.
Although he was fully exonerated, the investigator cast doubts on his story.
Redford said she hadn't been aware of all the language in the ruling when she first appointed Young in December. She felt it raised concerns about his fitness to deal with the police in the public safety role. Calgarian Rick Fraser got the job.
Young says that episode isn't behind his comments about the South Africa trip; rather, it's his concern for staying true to what Albertans believe.
He's been approached to cross the legislature floor but says he won't do it.
"I won't take my ball and go home. I felt, and still do, that it's the PC party that represents the values (of Albertans). There's no other party that represents those values.
"The reason I'm here is to do what's best for Alberta — not for the premier, not for the province, and certainly not for myself."
He won't leave Redford's caucus either, he says, because "for me, the only way to win a fight is inside the ring."
That choice might no longer be his, because the premier rules the ring.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--News Corporation and NBC Universal will launch the largest Internet video distribution network ever assembled with the most sought-after content from television and film, it was announced today by Jeff Zucker, President and Chief Executive Officer, NBC Universal and Peter Chernin, President and Chief Operating Officer, News Corporation. The video-rich site will debut this summer with thousands of hours of full-length programming, movies and clips, representing premium content from at least a dozen networks and two major film studios.
AOL, MSN, MySpace and Yahoo! will be the new site's initial distribution partners. Their users, who represent 96 percent of the monthly U.S. unique users on the Internet, will have unlimited access to the site's vast library of content. This media alliance will offer consumers free long- and short-form video and create a compelling platform for advertisers, targeting the rapidly growing audience of online video consumers. Charter advertisers include Cadbury Schweppes, Cisco, Esurance, Intel and General Motors.
"This is a game changer for Internet video," said Peter Chernin, President and Chief Operating Officer of News Corporation. "We'll have access to just about the entire U.S. Internet audience at launch. And for the first time, consumers will get what they want -- professionally produced video delivered on the sites where they live. We're excited about the potential for this alliance and we're looking forward to working with any content provider or distributor who wants to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity."
"Anyone who believes in the value of ubiquitous distribution will find this announcement incredibly exciting," said Jeff Zucker, President and CEO of NBC Universal. "This venture supercharges our distribution of protected, quality content to fans everywhere. Consumers get a hugely attractive aggregation of a wide range of content, and marketers get a novel way to connect with a large and highly engaged audience."
At launch, full episodes and clips from current hit shows, including Heroes, 24, House, My Name Is Earl, Saturday Night Live, Friday Night Lights, The Riches, 30 Rock, The Simpsons, The Tonight Show, Prison Break, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader and Top Chef, plus hits from the studios' vast television libraries, will be available free, on an ad-supported basis, within a rich consumer experience featuring personalized video playlists, mashups, online communities and video search. Plus, the extensive programming lineup will include fan favorite films like Borat, Little Miss Sunshine, Devil Wears Prada, The Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy with bonus materials and movie trailers. Post-launch, plans will be considered for acquiring additional content as well as producing and licensing original programming for the new site's audience.
Its launch distribution partners will provide the biggest potential reach of any player on the Internet. Moreover, the new site will actively seek agreements with a variety of additional distribution partners.
"This new venture is further proof that the Internet is now a full-fledged entertainment medium, and we are delighted to serve as a major online distribution partner for the quality content produced by these media powerhouses, as well as a provider of strategic services to the new venture," said Randy Falco, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, AOL.
"This partnership is completely aligned with our continued investment in video on MSN and will allow hundreds of millions of our consumers to tune into a vast library of high-quality, safe and legal online video," said Kevin Johnson, President, Platform and Services Division, Microsoft. "Our alliance proves that you can deliver quality online video entertainment and protect intellectual property and copyright at the same time. We look forward to working together to explore additional opportunities to distribute this content across other Microsoft services and devices."
"By delivering the new site's content to our more than 65 million users, we can build on MySpace's position as a leading destination for online video, and enable content creators to tap into the power of social networking," said Peter Levinsohn, President of Fox Interactive Media. "The ability to embed video clips within over 160 million profile pages will empower members of the MySpace community to view, share and truly interact with some of the entertainment world's most popular content."
"We are excited to be a part of this landmark partnership that connects people to the content they care about. As the most visited site in the U.S., this deal gives Yahoo!'s users unprecedented access to their favorite shows and offers them engaging content in a premium video format," said Terry Semel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Yahoo! Inc. "We believe that this relationship underscores Yahoo!'s respect for content owners and copyrights and positions us as one of the premier distribution sites on the Web for entertainment programming."
Each distribution partner will feature the site's content in an embedded player customized with a look and feel consistent with each site, making the offering organic to each destination. The new company will offer innovative advertising sales propositions by being able to sell cross-platform -- on-air and on-line. Post-launch, sites affiliated with founding companies, including iVillage and IGN, will also have the opportunity to become distribution partners.
The new company will be located in New York and Los Angeles. A transitional management team led by NBC Universal's Chief Digital Officer George Kliavkoff, along with an experienced group of executives from NBC Universal and News Corporation, will work together to launch the site. The company's permanent management will be announced shortly, along with branding details and additional advertising partners. Each company will devote a significant marketing and promotional budget to the new site's launch.
News Corporation and NBC Universal are creating this strategic alliance at a time when Internet users and advertisers are embracing online video as never before. In January, there were 123 million unique video streamers and downloaders (comScore Video Metrix). In 2005, video streams totaled nearly 18 billion, and that amount is expected to triple by 2010 (AccuStream iMedia Research, 2006). And research firm eMarketer estimates $410 million was spent on online video advertising in 2006, an amount that is expected to almost double this year.

1. "For five weeks, both sides have been locked in a vicious circle of death. The Palestinians march to bury their dead. Then, enraged by the funerals, they begin to throw rocks and some fire guns at Israeli soldiers, who fire back, killing more Palestinians which leads to more funerals."
Violation of objectivity: Selective omission
CBS News presents three steps in the cycle of violence: 1) Israeli attack resulting in funerals, 2) Palestinian response, 3) Israeli attack.
Huh? CBS has conveniently omitted the actual first step, which is Palestinian rioters threatening the lives of Israeli soldiers.
CBS sounds like it is mimicking the classic Arafat lie. When asked by a reporter if he was willing to stop the violence in the Mideast, Arafat said, "I am not the one who initiated the violence. I am not the one attacking." (quoted at: http://www.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/meast/11/10/mideast.01/index.html )
2. Arafat blames all the recent violence on Ariel Sharon - Israel's hardline opposition leader -- who five weeks ago made a point of visiting a key Muslim holy place in Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Arafat said he knew about Sharon's visit three days in advance, and tried to head it off because he knew it would trigger clashes.
"I had asked (Israeli Prime Minister) Ehud Barak and asked others why Sharon is insistent to come in this delicate time," Arafat said. "(Barak) kept silent. I raised this question to President Clinton to try with me to convince Barak not to give him the permission to go to visit," Arafat said. Arafat said he also told the European Union, the Vatican and Arab leaders about the planned visit.
Violation of objectivity: Imbalanced reporting
Arafat makes the outrageous claim that he beseeched world leaders, trying valiantly to stop Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount, fearing that it would lead to violence.
Although this statement is made in the context of an interview, "60 Minutes" is an "investigative journalism" program, and should ask Arafat to substantiate such a bold assertion.
Similarly, when Arafat later asserts that "Mr. Clinton remains popular among Palestinians," it is a direct contradiction of fact. Why did "60 Minutes" not question Arafat about anti-American demonstrations by Palestinians in the past month, where American flags are regularly torched, Madeline Albright is burned in effigy, and Presidents Clinton's picture is used for target practice? (See photos at: http://facts4peace.com/photos/america.htm
3. "...[Shimon Peres] met with Arafat and both sides agreed finally to back off and try to live up to the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement. But that was easier said than done, especially since extremists on both sides seem beyond government control. For example, after the Peres-Arafat deal, the extremist group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for a car bombing that killed two Israelis in Jerusalem."
Violation of objectivity: Distortion of facts
With the phrase "extremists on both sides seem beyond government control," CBS tries to equate Palestinian violence with some corresponding violence on the Israeli side. But since CBS cannot find any "beyond control" Israeli incidents to report, they cite only the example of the murderous Palestinian car bombing.

British Intelligence Gives 'Anonymous' a Taste of Its Own Hacking Medicine
Edward Snowden leaks another document showing agents also posed as hackers.
Feb. 6, 2014 -- Both the NSA and its British counterpart, the GCHQ, were revealed to have been capable of figuring people's identities by tapping into your smartphone app activity.
Now, a classified presentation prepared by GCHQ and leaked by Edward Snowden show that the GCHQ and its partners are up to more than just surveillance. The documents were first published by NBC News.
The Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) specifically had its sights set on Anonymous, the infamous activist hacker group. Anonymous has a record of temporarily disabling several organization's websites, such as the CIA and the Church of Scientology. One of the ways it does so is through using a Distributed Denial of Service attack, or DDoS.
The leaked documents show that the JTRIG was ready to fight fire with fire, launching the operation "Rolling Thunder." JTRIG agents issued their own DDoS on Anonymous chat rooms, preventing its users from communicating with one another.
JTRIG reached out to Anonymous members through email, Facebook and other means to warn them that "DDoS and hacking is illegal, please cease and desist," according to NBC News. JTRIG reports that one month after the attack and the warning, 80 percent of those users were no longer in the Anonymous chat room.
The leaked presentation also highlights interactions with specific members of Anonymous. JTRIG credits one conversation to the arrest and conviction of Edward Pearson, who went by the username Gzero, for stealing over 8 million identities and information from 200,000 PayPal accounts.
Hackers and activists have criticized the GCHQ's usage of a DDoS as a double standard. Jake Davis, a former hacker affiliated with Anonymous, was recently released from prison after pleading guilty to two counts of DDoS.
"All of GCHQ's work is carried out in accordance with a strict legal and policy framework," GCHQ said in a statement. "All of our operational processes rigorously support this position."

Rodent eradications are a useful tool for the restoration of native biodiversity on islands, but occasionally these operations incur non-target mortality. Changes in cereal bait colour could potentially mitigate these impacts but must not compromise the eradication operation. Changing bait colour may reduce mortality of Henderson crakes (Zapornia atra), an endemic globally threatened flightless bird on Henderson Island, Pitcairn Islands, South Pacific Ocean. Crakes had high non-target mortality in a failed 2011 rat eradication operation and consumed fewer blue than green cereal pellets.
Invasive rodents are successful colonists of many ecosystems around the world, and can have very flexible foraging behaviours that lead to differences in spatial ranges and seasonal demography among individuals and islands. Understanding such spatial and temporal information is critical to plan rodent eradication operations, and a detailed examination of an island's rat population can expand our knowledge about possible variation in behaviour and demography of invasive rats in general.
Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to Samoa's natural heritage. In fact the impacts of invasive

Since I've released my Soup Bowl Cozy pattern late last year, it's been downloaded more than half a million times! Because it's such a popular pattern, I wanted to showcase more ways to use this quick and easy pattern other places in your home!
1. Use it to corral TV remotes in the living room. (I'm not promising everyone in your household will remember to put them there, but at least they'll have a place!)
2. Place a bowl on your dresser to hold jewelry, chapstick, and other beauty essentials.
3. I use two bowls in my sewing room to keep my most-used supplies close at hand. I frequently use one to transport supplies for embroidery or binding on the go.
4. Hold potted plants in a bowl. It adds a decorative touch to your decor and keeps dirt and water splashes off surfaces.
5. Transport spices, napkins, and silverware from the kitchen to the table with a bowl that acts as a pretty centerpiece.
6. Place a bowl by the front door as a catchall for keys, sunglasses, letters, and more.
And last, but not least, you can use it for its intended purpose — a soup bowl cozy! (Or ice cream. I'm not judging!)
Thanks for joining my for "happy hour,"
P.S. What others uses do you have for this pattern? I'd love to add them to the list!

TOKYO - In the first confirmation of a criminal investigation at Mt. Gox, the failed Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange said on Wednesday it was working with the police "with regard to the disappearance" of bitcoins worth some US$490 million (S$621.37 million) at current prices.
Mt. Gox said in a brief statement on its website that it had submitted records and documents to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police as part of its civil rehabilitation application. A police spokesman declined to comment and said no announcements were planned.
Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy protection in Tokyo on Feb. 28, saying 750,000 bitcoins belonging to its customers and 100,000 of its own bitcoins were stolen by hackers who exploited a security flaw in its software. It also said US$28 million were"missing" from its Japanese bank accounts.
It was not immediately clear if the police investigation was looking into those missing funds.
A representative on a helpline for Mt. Gox creditors told Reuters the exchange had been working with the police as of "two days ago." Lawyers for Mt. Gox were not immediately available to comment.
A court-appointed administrator is due to report by Friday on a month-long examination into Mt. Gox and determine whether the exchange can be rehabilitated or should be liquidated.
Mt. Gox has also filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States after US customers with funds and bitcoin frozen at Mt. Gox began a class-action against the exchange, alleging fraud by the company and its 28-year old CEO, Mark Karpeles.
Another class-action suit was filed in Canada on March 16, alleging a lengthy security breach resulted in "the pilfering of millions of dollars' worth of Mt. Gox users'bitcoins."
Both lawsuits also named Mizuho Bank Ltd, one of Japan's largest lenders, for allegedly aiding in a fraud by providing banking services to Mt. Gox. The plaintiffs say their money was held in an account or accounts at Mizuho. The bank has previously declined to comment on the lawsuits.
Last week, Mt. Gox said it had found 200,000 "forgotten"bitcoins - nearly a quarter of those missing - on March 7 in an old format "wallet" that it had thought was empty.
That came after a US judge in Chicago overseeing the US class-action allowed some of Mt. Gox's bitcoin movements to be tracked.
US federal investigators are working multiple theories and have yet to rule out the possibility of involvement by someone inside Mt. Gox, a person with knowledge of that investigation has said.
Mt. Gox creditors had anticipated a different announcement on Wednesday after Eren Canarslan, a Turkish investment banker who said he had been in touch with Karpeles, tweeted that Mt. Gox would soon announce it had found an additional 670,000 bitcoins.

Fantasia overdose reported by police as a suicide attempt [Updated]
Fantasia Barrino's overdose on aspirin and a sleep aid Monday night was classified in an initial police report as a suicide attempt, according to WCNC News, though that could change based on what's learned during the follow-up investigation. A statement released Tuesday by her manager confirmed the overdose but did not address whether it was a suicide attempt.
Manager Brian Dickens was the one who called authorities, according to a police report obtained by Radar Online. In his statement, Show Tracker reports, he said Fantasia was "heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused" through her on-again, off-again relationship with Antwuan Cook, whose wife, Paula Cook, filed for divorce last week, accusing the singer of committing adultery with Antwuan and occasionally taping their sexual activity.
(The YBF has pictures of Antwuan, as well as a shot from last year of "Cook" tattooed on Fantasia's neck.)
"She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook separated in the late summer of 2009," said the statement, published in full by WCNC. Dickens said Barrino on Monday read the full divorce complaint, which had been filed Aug. 4. He said she was "overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the allegations."
Fantasia's lawyer Gena Morris on Tuesday accused Paula Cook of "gratuitously" including ...
A production crew for the upcoming series "Fantasia for Real" had been at the singer's North Carolina home on Monday, and VH1 told Show Tracker on Tuesday, "We support Fantasia 100% and look forward to working with her again soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with her at this difficult time."
Her father, Joseph Barrino, told Radar Online on Wednesday that "she's doing fine." Reports on Tuesday said the overdose was not life-threatening.
Fantasia has been at Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville in Charlotte, N.C.
Her new album, "Back to Me," is out Aug. 24.

The ironworker who helped build the new World Trade Center tower and then leaped off its roof in a daring BASE jump says all that time spent working on the building only contributed to his urge to seek the thrill.
"I'm working on this building. What do I want to do? I want to jump off," James Brady told the New York Post for a story published Monday.
Brady, 32, and two other extreme-skydiving enthusiasts were arrested last month for the September stunt, along with a man police say kept watch on the ground.
Helmet cam video of the Sept. 30 leap was posted to YouTube in March, just as the group was facing charges including burglary, trespassing and reckless endangerment.
Brady told the Post he worked for nearly five years on building the 1,776-foot tower, including installing a beam signed by President Barack Obama.
U.S. & World
Brady said he has completed about 700 skydives and BASE jumps.
"Working on heights and dealing with fear -- I thrive on those things," he said.
Brady said the jump was "just the realest moment you can experience."
NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said the men "placed themselves, as well as others, in danger."
The arrest of the jumpers came just as a teenage boy was also arrested for sneaking into the site and going up to the roof of the tower. Days later, CNN producers were arrested trying to get into the site, and just last week, sources say a man with a backpack walked past a security guard into an area where he was not authorized to be.

| 3.5°C Belfast
Headteachers today offered their condolences to the family of teacher Ann Maguire, who was stabbed to death in her classroom, as they said that such incidents are "mercifully rare".
Delegates at the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) annual conference in Birmingham said they noted the events at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds this week "with great sadness".
Earlier, about 300 members took part in a minute's silence to pay tribute to Mrs Maguire, 61, who was attacked as she taught a lesson.
Outgoing NAHT president Bernadette Hunter asked delegates to pay tribute to Mrs Maguire's 40 years service, describing her as a "dedicated, inspiring and caring teacher who was loved by so many".
NAHT members stood and bowed their heads for the minute's silence and applauded at the end.
Afterwards, Mrs Hunter said that the NAHT's conference would be "celebrating the wonderful work of teachers and headteachers and the remarkable service that our profession has given to this country".
A resolution was amended to take note of Mrs Maguire's death to say: " Conference notes with great sadness the events in Leeds his week. The attack was unprecedented. Schools across the country are generally very safe places to work and learn in every day.
"Such incidents are mercifully rare and our condolences go out to the family and friends of Ann Maguire and to the students and colleagues of Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds."
The resolution, which was backed by union members, went on to say that the NAHT should ensure "that the very positive behaviour, that is the norm in schools, is celebrated".
Meanwhile, a book of condolence has been opened at the Cathedral in Leeds for people to sign.
At the same time the administrator of the Diocese of Leeds, Mgr John Wilson, has written to all the churches in the diocese saying: " Foremost our thoughts and prayers are for Ann and her family, and for the College and local community.
"The headteacher, Mr Steve Mort, and the senior leadership at the College, together with all the staff and pupils, have responded with immense dignity. A team of support has been present in the College, from the police, the local authority, the diocese and Catholic Care. Mgr Paul Fisher, Deacon Sean Quigley and the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal have provided great spiritual and pastoral accompaniment.
"It goes without saying, but please would you pray especially for Ann, her family and the College and local community. It is in the strength of prayer that we stand united in faith.'
Prayers will be said for Mrs Maguire and her family in every church in West Yorkshire, which the Diocese of Leeds covers.

Hans Zimmer: The Computer Is My Instrument
Imagine how great your iPhone cat videos would be if a Grammy and Academy Award winning composer wrote the soundtrack. You probably know what's coming next: Yes, there's an app for that.
The app, available exclusively for iOS, is called VJAM. World-renowned music composer and producer Hans Zimmer helped develop the app with UJAM, a company he co-founded several years ago.
Not only did Zimmer lend his creative expertise to the project, he also contributed one original composition, which is available to use, along with 10 other songs/themes, with the free version of the app.
"We feel we have created a basic app that does something very powerful," UJAM CEO Axel Hensen tells Mashable. "We're not looking for a quick viral success that's yesterday's news in a few months."
"We want to build something that provides a value to people for years to come. VJAM is just the beginning."
VJAM employs a freemium model, so if you get bored of the free themes, there are more options available for purchase. The goal of the app is to allow users to easily turn their iPhone videos into more cinematic creations.
The app is smart and simple to use. In less than five minutes, I turned a short video of my baby cousin eating lunch into an epic, using the theme "Slow Mo Hero," which features Zimmer's "Woad to Ruin" composition.
"VJAM looks simple, but we have made leaps in cloud technology, music technology and musical intelligence that puts us ahead of the game," Hensen says.
To get a better feel for what makes VJAM tick, Mashable caught up with Zimmer for a short chat about music and technology. You may know Zimmer's work from films such as Inception, The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, along with many others.
Even though he has already achieved significant success — including four Grammys, two Golden Globe Awards and an Oscar — Zimmer does not seem afraid to alter his methods; rather, he embraces change. He started composing in the late 1970s. Sporting coiffed hair and some sharp duds, he played his synthesizers in MTV's first music video, The Buggles "Video Kill the Radio Star."
Since then, Zimmer has stayed on the cutting edge of technology, including playing a significant role in the mobile app revolution. Check out the following Q&A section for his thoughts on technology, music, media and more.
Q&A With Hans Zimmer
How has your background shaped your views on music and technology?
I've come from a confused family. My mother was very musical, basically a musician, and my father was an engineer and an inventor. So, I grew up modifying the piano, shall we say, which made my mother gasp in horror, and my father would think it was fantastic when I would attach chainsaws and stuff like that to the piano because he thought it was an evolution in technology.
I think as a kid I started with one foot in the music camp and the other foot in the technology camp.
It was all the same thing to me because all I wanted to do was go and invent, and figure out...how to make new sounds.
You're already a successful composer and producer. Why did you decide to get involved with mobile apps such as VJAM?
It came from a lengthy conversation Pharrell Williams and I had. We were talking about this idea: We're really lucky because we get to do music as a living, and we get to do it everyday.
Neither of us has a grand musical education. My grand musical education is two weeks of piano lessons. So I'm not a good player, but I'm a good programmer. I've always felt that the computer was my instrument.
We thought, wouldn't it be fun to figure out how to use the technology within an iPhone to help people make their home videos a little better, and at the same time, do it in a way that it could be done instantaneously, where there wasn't a big learning curve involved.
What was your role in the creation of the VJAM?
I'm sort of the disturbance in the force. I'm the one who's forever going, "Why couldn't it do this? Why can't it do more of this?"
When everybody thinks it's finished and it's a masterpiece, I'm the one who comes in and throws a grenade into the middle of the room and goes, "Let's go and get all differently."
That's really my job — creative nuisance — I think that should be my title. Question everything at all times, and then execute Plan B flawlessly.
Clearly you have your hands in whatever current technological revolution is happening, but this isn't your first go-round. You were also involved with advent of music videos. You even appeared in the first MTV music video, "Video Killed the Radio Star," with The Buggles. What was that like?
It was really Trevor Horn's doing. It was sort of his band, and I was the guy who had the synth.
And it was actually quite hard, because nobody wanted to hear about it; nobody wanted to give us a record deal. MTV was still two years away, but we just had this gut feeling that this thing was coming, something was coming that was going to marry visuals and music. It just seemed obvious to us; it was instinct.
In those days I was the coolest guy around because I had a computer that had 16K of memory.
People kept asking, "What are you going to do with all that memory?" They thought it was outrageous that someone could have that much memory inside his computer.
How has technology fueled change more recently?
The technological shift has already happened. It's an evolution, not a revolution.
I think the whole iPhone thing is fantastic. For Inception, I did a whole app that was far more interesting for me to do than a soundtrack album.
Now we're at that point where everybody can sort of add into the musical publicization or into the personal publicization in a very inexpensive way.
The first revolution came when the electric guitar became affordable. But nowadays, the technology really truly lets you express all those things you have in your head.
What does your studio look like now compared to when you first started?
It isn't that different. There sort of comes a point where there are diminishing returns.
Thirty-inch monitors are as big as you want to go for your computer, because otherwise your head is bobbing side-to-side like in a tennis game. The musical keyboard in front me is just a convenient way of having 88 switches at my disposal.
So, some things are sort of the same, it's just that my computer power has gone up tremendously. It's just an upscaling of the same paradigm.
You have accomplished a great deal to this point in your career, including numerous awards. If you had to give yourself an award for something you've worked on in your life, what is your proudest accomplishment?
It would be the award for not coveting awards. Because really honestly, it has nothing to do with pride or any of those things.
Every morning I check with myself, "Do I want to go to the studio and write some music?" And to this day, it's still the most exciting thing I can do.
I still get fired up and I still get excited about making music.
What does the future look like?
From a musician's point of view, I think the future looks very similarly to this. But because of YouTube and because of the Internet, you now have access to finding a lot more really interesting people to work with. I do that a lot. I go to YouTube; I hear someone perform; I find out who they are; I give them a ring. Next thing I know, we're in a room together making music.
The thing that hasn't changed, and I don't think will ever change, is that the operative word in music is "play." You have to have a playfulness about it. As the world shifts, it's starting to understand more and more that to have a playfulness about any and everything is actually the way of having a better life, or being more creative, or being more productive.
The rules are: The more playful we get, the more we can get rid of the rules.
That's really what VJAM is supposed to be about. You're shooting your little video on your iPhone or something, and it's not all that great. But you can put a little piece of music with it, and the technology will do it in a relatively intelligent way.
Suddenly, your rather banal little video of your cat becomes something you can share with your friends.
If you want to be pretentious, you can call it art. But if you just want to talk about it like a normal human being, you can do something fun and share it with your friends.
Any last thoughts about technology or music?
The bottom line is, for me, there has never been a difference between a composer and someone who is building technology.
It's all about inventing and it's all about that playfulness, and that game and aesthetics. I get on very well with technologists because I think they're sort of doing the same thing. Figure out a way to express ourselves and make the world a slightly smaller place, in a good way.

My name is Amy and I blog over at What Jew Wanna Eat. I am thrilled to be a guest blogger on Cook Kosher! Although I do not keep kosher myself, I love Jewish food and feature my Bubbe's best recipes on my site. Please stop by and check out other creations including pumpkin hummus, home-made bagels and a to-die-for matzah ball soup that event my gentile friends request by name! But keep in mind that not all recipes on my site are kosher. With that said, what could be more fun than cupcakes? I can't think of a thing! Here is a healthy kosher creation even kids will enjoy: potato zucchini kugel cupcakes. To make my cupcakes healthier, I used half potatoes and half zucchini. That way, I can eat two without guilt! Topped with a little Greek yogurt "frosting" and scallion "sprinkles", this makes a great dairy side dish, or it is parve on its own. Enjoy!
Makes 12
2 medium potatoes
2 medium zucchini
1/2 onion
3 eggs
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
3 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
pinch of sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Grate potatoes, zucchini, garlic and onions by hand (or me lazy and use a food processor like me).
3. Squeeze out any liquid with cheesecloth.
4. In a bowl, mix together oil, eggs, flour, salt, pepper and sugar.
5. Add potato mixture to the egg mixture and combine.
6. Scoop into greased muffin tims and cook 40 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Top with sour cream or Greek yogurt and scallions and enjoy!

BY YESTERDAY, the cold, sick feeling of seeing the space shuttle Columbia explode in the blue Texas sky was fading for many, replaced by a numbness as gray as the February dawn.
Once again, as the TV networks noted, we were in full "America in Mourning" mode.
On the Sunday talk shows, a number of former astronauts were trotted out, clear-eyed and square-jawed and resolute, to talk about NASA's latest disaster and put it in some kind of perspective.
Normally, these talk shows will put you to sleep faster than a gun-butt to the temple.
But on NBC's Meet the Press, Tim Russert asked former space shuttle commander Rick Hauck to describe what astronauts are feeling during take-off and re-entry, and Hauck's answer was the most revealing one I'd heard.
"There's this exhilaration ... you're finally getting the ride of your life," Hauck explained. "But then reality sets in: You're sitting on a pile of explosives."
If Hauck's words were sobering, they also underscored this simple truth: At least the Columbia was a tragedy we could understand.
Who can comprehend wild-eyed hijackers screaming Allah's name and flying airliners full of terrified passengers into two Manhattan skyscrapers and the Pentagon and a muddy field in Pennsylvania?
But a space shuttle blowing apart 200,000 feet up in the air - sure, we know things like that can happen.
The space program, after all, has had several tragedies and near-tragedies since Alan Shepard became the first U.S. astronaut to rocket into space in 1961.
Three astronauts were killed in a flash fire in 1967 before the first manned Apollo flight. And when the Apollo 13 capsule returned to Earth in 1970, a frightening explosion cut off its electrical power and the crew relied on life-support systems.
Then, just 17 years ago, we saw another space shuttle, the Challenger, also with a crew of seven, burst into flames 73 seconds after lift-off, thick white plumes of smoke trailing sickly as it fell from the clear sky.
After the Challenger disaster, I remember thinking: Who could ever again put on a spacesuit and climb into one of those things?
But plenty of men and women did. And one of them was Tom Jones, a Baltimore native, who went up into space four different times, the last as a mission specialist aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in 2001.
Jones, 48, who graduated from Kenwood Senior High School in Essex, was puttering around his home in Oakton, Va., Saturday morning, preparing to watch Columbia's return home on the NASA cable channel, when news of the disaster broke.
"It's just a body blow to your psyche," he said yesterday over the phone. "These are all my friends."
Not only had he worked closely with many in the crew, including Rick Husband, the Columbia commander, and mission specialist Laurel Clark, but he'd also flown into space on the Columbia on his third mission in 1996.
The fear that Rick Hauck had alluded to on Meet the Press - you're riding this huge, shuddering pile of explosives into the sky - is one that every astronaut accepts, Jones said, even as they push that fear to the deepest recesses of their mind.
"I think [astronauts] think of it as: 'There are certain risks associated with the work,'" said Jones, who also performed three space-walks during his last mission. 'Am I going to be capable of doing what I have to do?' Then you commit yourself to do your work ... and trust in the design of the ship.
"It's a risk, but a risk you're willing to take."
Jones said when he first rocketed into space in 1994, the Challenger disaster was still "very much fresh in our minds."
But he says he was never consumed with fear that his space shuttle would blow up.
"The worries I had were more akin to stage fright or butterflies," he said. "You're about to go on this historic voyage, and you hope you're prepared as well as you can be to do what you have to do."
Of course, he added, "you're excruciatingly aware" of everything that happens in the first few moments after the rocket roars off the launch pad, when an explosion is most likely to occur.
"After the boosters leave," he said, "there's a big sigh [of relief.]"
Generally, he said, the space shuttle's re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere is a much calmer time.
"There's no particular milestone on re-entry when you say, 'Whew, glad that's over,'" he said. "Basically what you're doing is monitoring the ship, looking for any signs of problems and enjoying the light show outside," the hot-pink and red trails the spacecraft leaves as it hurtles through the atmosphere.
Certainly, Jones said, there was no way the crew of the Columbia could have anticipated the catastrophe that awaited them - and nothing they could have done to prevent it.
"There's no point in thinking about - or wasting time training for - what happened," he said softly.
Shortly after this point in the conversation, Jones said he had to go.
In the two days since the Columbia disaster, he had been giving interviews non-stop to the media, and now another TV camera crew had finished setting up in his living room and he was being summoned again.
Before he hung up, I asked if he agreed with all the other astronauts who have insisted the space program would not be devastated by the Columbia tragedy, and that the number of men and women willing to climb into a rocket and blast off for the stars would not shrink.
Hell, I said, 81-year-old John Glenn, on Russert's show, had said he'd get back into space tomorrow if they'd let him.
"There are probably 50 people in Houston, in the astronaut corps, who have not flown yet," Jones said. "And 99 percent will still be there, even after this."

Now that we have put the Barry Bonds/ Babe Ruth blah, blah, blah to sleep, I think it's time that we sat back and wagered a few bucks on our favorite MLB team. Parity is here and every one of the six divisions is up for grabs this year and handicapping these teams, takes patience and talent.
Let's start with the glamour division and of course I am referring to the American League East where the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have been trading punches since the opening week of April and George's boys are now sitting in the penthouse.
Lurking down in the lobby are the Toronto Blue Jays who have fought off injuries to their starting pitching staff, with superb hitting and are 32-25 and are just three games back. Toronto has made it clear from the get go, that they will spend money during the season in order to contend.
In the AL Central my 9-1 betting bonanza and that would be the 2005 Chicago White Sox are scuffling a bit after a torrid start and presently trail the Motown Detroit Tigers. The Tigers began the first 50 games under Jim Leyland in spectacular fashion, but injuries are beginning to hit them, with the latest being to Pudge Rodriguez.
At 28-29 the Cleveland Indians will make a move at some point and placing a few bucks on them, could provide you with a nice return on your dollar. The AL West with Texas, Oakland, Seattle and Los Angeles is a crapshoot, with only 5.5 games separating the VIP section and the cheap seats. The first place Rangers incidentally are the only team in the West with a winning mark in games played within the division and against the powerful AL East and you cannot ignore that vital gambling statistic.
The New York Mets like their neighbors the Yankees like to throw the money around and they sit atop the NL East presently, but the Phillies and Braves can almost reach out and touch them. With 14 straight division titles, I certainly would think about a wagering a few bucks on them to win once again.
The Cardinals are suddenly trying to ward off the Cincinnati Reds who are getting healthy and pounding the ball. The Cardinals meanwhile have all kids of injury issues with Pujols and ace Chris Carpenter does not look stable.
Just like their counterparts in the AL West, the NL West Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Padres, Giants and Rockies are in a fierce battle for supremacy. Just six games separate the top and bottom, with Arizona leading the pack. The Dodgers are getting superb play out of Garciaparra and if their veterans can stay healthy, watch out!

Betting on baseball has never been better!
The core of any punter's arsenal is the dutching calculator, which is indeed a very influential tool. Dutching (as reputedly named after Al Capone's accountant who liked to use this method to back horses) is an excellent way of wagering more than one horse in a race such that if either of them win then the return is the same no matter who wins.Dutching techniques are used when one analyses a race to find two, or more, powerful horses in the race. One then has a variety of options. The first, and simplest, is to leave the race alone. The next is to try to work out which amongst these candidates is the one to back or, thirdly, one can 'Dutch' them up that if any of these horses win then a profit can be made. This is where the dutching calculator comes into play.Dutching is the process used to back more than one horse in a race and by mathematically placing the correct bet on each horse so that whichever horse wins the same amount of money is returned assuming, of course, that one of the backed horses actually does win.Dutching calculator is a very powerful betting device and is reputedly named after Al Capone's accountant who used this to great effect when backing horses. This calculator for dutching tells you how much to stake on each selection to ensure an equal profit no matter which one wins. Simply enter the price for each of your fancied selections in decimal format and your maximum total stake below.In particular, this dutching calculator allows one to bet with a preset stake or to get educated how much one should wager to return a fixed profit, it at all possible. In addition this calculator for dutching allows the user to enter either the traditional fractional odds or the 'American' decimal odds as used on the betting exchanges.Enter in the Stake box the figure that you wish to stake in total or enter in the Profit box the revenue you are looking to make with a successful Dutch. Then add in each of the boxes place the odds of the horses which you wish to back.This Dutching calculator, despite its simple interface, has a variety of features. First, the prices can be entered to either the decimal format (as seen on the exchanges) or in partial format (as used by bookmakers). If the price entered has a '/' (e.g. 100/30) then the Decimal format is unspecified.Second, with calculator for dutching, one the user can select the answer required. The user can choose between the "I have a £100 to place on this race, how do I divide it up?" option and the "I would like to win £100 on this race.Third, it figures out the revenue (on a successful bet, of course) and the ROI% (Return on Investment) so that the user can work out if this Dutching bet is will be profitable, as no one wants a negative profit, and worth the risk.In big fields, no matter what the sport, more often than not, you'll fancy more than two probabilities. Rather than pick one and kick yourself when the one you neglected compels, it's rational to 'Dutch' and back them all - and you can get surprisingly first class returns as long as the prices are big enough. With the use of dutching calculator, all of these possibilities can turn into a reality.

I'm kind of a metadata addict. And a map junkie. So it should be no surprise that I've been waiting for a long time for a program \to help me mark up my photos with the exact location of capture. I was very happy to learn this spring of a new application called HoudahGeo. Most of the geocoding apps I've seen before only write to JPEG files. HoudahGeo actually works directly on PSD and DNG files, among others, meaning I can actually mark up my master files instead of a derivative.
HoudahGeo is available only for Mac OS, and I'm not aware of any plans to make a Windows version available. I haven't looked for a similar Windows application, but the tips below regarding how it would interact with Lightroom should apply if so. (Please add a comment if you're aware of a good counterpart for Windows.)
In the Field
If you have a hand-held GPS unit that you can carry with you, the main thing you need to be concerned with is ensuring that your GPS and camera clocks are in sync with each other. Spend the time to get your camera within a minute or less of the GPS clock. If it's not the same time zone, that's OK; you can take care of that later.
And, of course, you need to have your GPS running while you're shooting. I keep mine permanently tethered to the outside of my camera backpack. When I'm packing, I simply put the GPS in an outside pocket, leaving the tether cord in place. When I take the camera out of the pack to start shooting, I pull the GPS out, turn it on, and run its tether through the top handle on my camera bag so it's not dangling. As long as the camera backpack stays on my back, I'm logging my location continuously.
Downloading Data
How you download data will, of course, be dependent on the make and model of your GPS unit and the software that comes with it. HoudahGeo claims to be able to read directly from the GPS unit. I like to keep the original GPS track log files, so I haven't tried this feature myself. What is important is that you wind up with a GPX file. GPX is a standard interchange format for GPS marker data; you should be able to save to that format from whatever software comes with your GPS unit. The MapSource software that comes with my Garmin GPS can generate GPX files through its "Save As" menu item.
When you're downloading data from your GPS, you should take a moment to look for bogus data in your track logs. Whenever you move with your GPS unit turned off (even a short distance), it will generate a lot of noise when you first turn it on again. (For example, see this rather improbable traversal of 105 miles in northern Minnesota that I supposedly accomplished in 30 seconds.) HoudahGeo isn't able to sort out this errant data, so any photos taken shortly before or after turning on your GPS might get tagged with wildly incorrect locations. Take the time to use your GPS software to delete these incorrect data points.
Once you have a cleaned up GPX file, you're ready to go!
A Caution
I generally convert all of my camera raw files to DNG as part of my import workflow. I've only occasionally used HG with original RAW files, and the results were not quite what I had hoped. If possible, I recommend using PSD, JPEG, and DNG files instead; I've done thousands of these files successfully.
Geocoding in HoudahGeo
At this point, you should open both HoudahGeo and Lightroom. In Lightroom, choose one or more photos that you are ready to tag. Make sure to exclude virtual copies since HoudahGeo can't do anything with them. (To exclude virtual copies, click on the negative strip icon just just above the filmstrip at the bottom of the Library window as shown below.)
Unfortunately, any geocoding you do in HoudahGeo won't get propagated to existing virtual copies in your library. This is a known bug in Lightroom. Any virtual copies you create after geocoding will retain this information.
Drag these photos from Lightroom into HoudahGeo. After a brief pause, they should appear in your HoudahGeo project window. You may also be asked to specify the time zone for the camera's capture dates. Make sure to leave these same photos selected in Lightroom; you'll need this selection later in the process.
If you have a GPX file, now is the time to load it in to HoudahGeo. Click on the waypoint button (highlighted below).
Once you've done that, HoudahGeo should automatically match the track log data with your camera's capture time stamps. Assuming the camera and GPS were in sync (as described above), these should be fairly accurate, but I recommend that you always spot-check a few of the locations. Select a single photo in the list and click on the down-arrow icon just to the right of the waypoint button. HoudahGeo will bring up a map with the location it has assigned to this photo. Verify that this location is correct. If not, you may need to adjust the time zone or the camera clock error setting in HoudahGeo.
If you don't have a GPX file, or if the file has gaps (i.e. you were shooting with the GPS turned off or in an area with poor coverage), you can also use this map button (the rightmost button in the yellow group) to manually assign locations.
Once you are satisfied that your photos have accurate locations, it's time to save the changes back to the files. Click on the first button in the green tab (with the tooltip "Write EXIF Tags"). Be sure to click on the checkbox labeled "Work on original images." Otherwise, Lightroom won't see the changes you've made.
At this point, you're done in HoudahGeo. It's time to go back to Lightroom and make sure it sees the changes.
Bringing Lightroom Up to Date
Back in Lightroom, the same photos should still be selected.
The first thing you should do is select Save Metadata to File from the Metadata menu. Yes, I know this seems odd. It seems like it would overwrite the new metadata you just created in HoudahGeo, but it doesn't. This command causes Lightroom to update the XMP in the file, but not the EXIF data. Geocoding information is stored in EXIF. What you're doing here is ensuring that the XMP in the file reflects any changes you've made in Lightroom.
Even if you think your XMP is up to date, I still recommend that you perform this step. I have seen cases where keywords will be read back incorrectly, especially in JPEG files containing keywords with letters outside the US ASCII set (typically letters with accents). Saving will help prevent this problem.
Wait for this operation to finish, then select Read Metadata from File with the same photos still selected. Lightroom will now read back the same metadata you've just written to the files, and also pick up the updated EXIF metadata including the geocoding. You can able to see this new metadata if you have the Metadata panel set to the EXIF, Location, or All tag sets. If you like, you can verify the location by clicking on the right-arrow button to the right of the GPS location (highlighted below). This will bring up a map with the location.
Finally, I recommend that you assign a keyword to each photo that you've geotagged so you can keep track of what you've done and what hasn't yet been tagged. See my previous article on worklist keywords to help you remember what you have and haven't tagged. Here are the keywords I use in Lightroom:
Happy geocoding!

Pain Point
While technologies such as the IoT and blockchain promise powerful new ways to engage customers and share information, moving fast to capitalise on these opportunities can't come at the expense of security.
nCipher helps empower secure innovation and growth by delivering integrity to the design of new IoT and blockchain deployments, ensuring a root of trust from inception to operation.
Pain Point
Sensitive enterprise information that increasingly resides in encrypted cloud databases is only as secure as the underlying encryption keys.
nCipher HSMs give you tamper-resistant, independently-certified control over the keys that encrypt your sensitive data across multiple cloud environments.
Pain Point
Today's digital environment delivers new efficiencies and growth opportunities. However, without a secure foundation built on trust, sensitive data, systems and users are at risk of being compromised.
nCipher delivers field-proven security for the core, business critical applications you rely on every day, ensuring the integrity of your data and keeping you in control.
Pain Point
New digital payment options open up additional revenue streams, faster transactions and improved customer experiences, but you can only adopt them when there's no doubt about security.
nCipher helps enable new digital payment models built on cryptographic protocols and the high-assurance protection of payment credentials.

Lynn leads NJIT past St. Francis (Pa) 64-56
LORETTO, Pa. (AP) — Damon Lynn scored 18 points to lead New Jersey Institute of Technology past St. Francis of Pennsylvania 64-56 on Saturday.
NJIT (7-10) snapped a six-game losing streak. Lynn was 5 of 13 from the field, and scored four from three-point range. He tied a school record with six 3-pointers in the Highlanders previous game against Hofstra.
Lynn hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 31 with 18:02 remaining. Ky Howard made one of two free throws on the next offensive series to give NJIT a 32-31 lead, and the Highlanders led the rest of the way.
Earl Brown scored a career-high 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead St. Francis (2-11).
The Highlanders led by as much as eight when St. Francis had a 17-10 run to pull within one, 54-53 with 2:44 to play. NJIT closed with a 10-3 run, with Lynn scoring four points during the span.
