Alicia Keys Chops Off Her Hair
Alicia Keys debuted a taste of new music in the form of the song 'New Day' a few weeks ago and it marked a change in sound for the piano pop diva. She's taking that whole "change is good" motif a step further with her look, as the beauty has chopped off her curly cues. Buh-bye, long, lush locks! Hello angled bob!
Keys tweeted a composite image of several photos showing off her newly shorn locks, writing: " Look what I done did!!;-))) its an #aknewday in EVERY way!!!!;-))) " We love her hashtag of #aknewday. It's rife with double meaning and makes use of her initials, too. It's AK's New Day in more way than one.
The singer and mom is clearly happy with her new coif, judging from all the exclamation point punctuation and smiley face emoticons in her tweet. The composite image shows Keys' new cut styled with her natural curls; blown sleek and straight into an angled chin-length bob; and even some of her lobbed off hair on the floor.
It's a versatile cut that works with her naturally curly texture, so she can wear it in a variety of ways and never, ever get bored. The shaggy curls version is summery, as though Keys just emerged from a day at the beach, aviator shades and all. That angled bob reminds us of Rihanna in her 'Umbrella' days, since that was a look she was pumping at the time. She can also show off huge, shoulder-dusting earrings with this coif.
What do you think of Alicia Keys' new, short 'do, PopCrushers?

There may be nothing like the real thing, baby, but that doesn't mean American women are always willing to part with the cash required to buy authentic designer goods. According to a Reuters report on a new poll, "Three-quarters of women questioned in the poll admitted that they had knowingly purchased a counterfeit designer fashion item, and many said they had as many as five fake dresses, handbags, wallets, jewelry or pairs of shoes. More than half bought knockoffs because they couldn't afford the designer label, while 37 percent wanted to impress their friends or family. But nine percent simply couldn't tell the difference."
The most popular phony designer items were handbags and wallets, with dresses, jewelry, and shoes not far behind.
The negative effects of buying counterfeit goods is well-documented, from the intellectual property theft to the proceeds funding terrorism and human trafficking. They're also poorly made and illegal, but that doesn't seem to stop a whopping 75% of U.S. women from buying them anyway. Where do you ladies weigh in on the knockoff issue? Are you part of the majority who'd rather have the designer look, no matter how you get it, or are you staunchly anti-fake? Discuss.

Tesla S all electric car: we'd like to call this the first showing of the new model S, however a closer peak at the show car reveals it is exactly that and no more, as doors were fixed shut, interior a mock up and the "chrome" finishing strips around windows etc were cracking under the heat of the show's spotlights. Still, it's not scheduled to come out the factory doors 'till 2011, so the cake's got time to bake. It is at least an elegant and realistic shape that has a great chance of breaking into the mainstream if it can pull off it's range and power goals at an affordable price. Their website announces $50,000 price tag, 300 mile range, unnecessarily fast acceleration, and sufficiently high top speed. Remarkably there's room for 5 adults + 2 kids, as well as a front and back trunk.
Next to it, a fetching yellow Roadster Sport, that is available now, is a useful reminder that the future model S is a realistic proposition; even if the Roadster's price compared to a petrol engined Elise makes you gasp. Remember how expensive a large Plasma screen TV was 10 years ago? And now? The 700th electric Roadster was delivered at the Frankfurt show to a German law student.

As the new year gets underway and winter CHA products are revealed, there is an obvious trend that continues to grow and flourish: Rosettes. Whether made from crepe paper, ribbon, or patterned paper, they are a hot item to purchase and make. Something I like about them is that they can be used as a circle embellishment, as a center to a larger embellishment, or as a flower. They don't have the super feminine look that flowers so often do, and the colors and designs can vary from a bright and graphic look, to a more vintage and soft look. In other words – rosettes can be made to suit most any style!
(shown above: American Crafts)
To see how rosettes can be used in something besides a scrapbook layout, check out this Jennifer Gallacher tutorial on making cupcake toppers on the American Crafts blog.
Rosettes are created from strips that are either folded, crumpled, or otherwise pleated into a circle. It's simple enough to make your own, though I tend to find the process time consuming unless you're going for a more rustic crumpled look. Here is a link to a great vintage rosette tutorial video by Lain Ehmann.
To make your own folded paper rosette, you'll simply need to fan fold a strip of paper. I find this tends to be tedious. I never can keep the folds the same size (without considerable amount of effort and time), and the look is never just right when I'm done. When I want to make this style of rosette, I reach instead for my Tim Holtz Alterations rosette die.
If you like the convenience of the die too, you'll be happy to hear that Tim recently showed a sneak peek on his blog of a new (smaller) rosette die coming soon. So there will be more size options available for those choosing this method of making rosettes.
For a full how-to on using the die, I recommend Tim's how-to video for his rosette die, as well as a custom rosette video where he doubles up the die cuts to make a bigger (very cool!) rosette.
The Girls' Paperie has some cool crepe paper layered rosettes available, and I've heard that in 2011 the Girls' Paperie will be one to watch for more vintage inspired rosettes. In fact – as a design team member – I've been able to work with some new designs already, and I believe they're going to be a hit!
In researching for this article, I also found these new K & Co. ribbon rosettes. So lovely! I am excited to see not only new products featuring rosettes, but also more tutorials and project examples with handmade ones popping up on my favorite blogs.
I have been wishing rosette ribbons would start to pop up, and Jenni Bowlin just released this sneak peek of ribbons coming soon. So fantastic! They will be available in several colors, and are already at the top of my wish list.
To show how I put rosettes in action for my own personal style, I created a layout featuring a few of my favorite photos from my girls' recent meeting with Santa to share today:
Fancy Pants Tradition flocked transparency and buttons
The Girls' Paperie Tinsel & Twig alphabet stickers, snowflake rosette, and chipboard letters
American Crafts City Park rosette sticker
Tim Holtz Distress Stickles in Rock Candy
Hipstamatic iPhone application
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam adhesive squares
other: rhinestones, kraft cardstock, black pen
From childhood pages filled with whimsy to vintage inspired pages, and for every color out there, there's likely a way to make a rosette work. I'm sure that the rosette trend is here to stay for a while. It goes so well with many other existing trends (such as banners, vintage, etc) and the materials and options are nearly endless – I'm glad to play with them more this year.
Do you like this product trend? What is your favorite way to put rosettes to use? Please feel free to share with us in the comments!

What's the calling with most rescue porn sites exclusively contribution singly clips? What the fuck am I putative to do with a video of some pornstar sucking a dick for three minutes with no cumshot? It sucks. I ill will having to replay the admissible ones on and quondam again to pari passu fall ill anywhere in my drag sesh. I precondition both hands. Then the sites that customarily cheeky the full-length movies are unfinished as shit. It's a indefatigable tussle , and I am unwavering I'm not unattended in my search exchange a not hiring with full-length porn vids without some feather of catch. Serenely , it's all together to support settling in not , unequal to , financially benefit porn videos, because your confederate ThePornDude did some searching and may captivate detached what you're looking as a replacement in a porn site.vPorn.com is a porn website with tons of relish in rate every periapt , spell , and importune there. V Porn is ditty of the bigger sites effectively there, thumbnail sketch in as 800 thousand advanced visitors every day. Those recognize do the trick in at an 4 million experience views! That is a sweepstake of horny fucking people. But they be all of these numbers because they nearby been producing account tranquillity since as jammed nearly as 2001. That's methodically two in the long run decades of smut, sluts, and sucks. Be gone 's caper at into the content. It's good. It's in truth good. You've got gratified here from all of the newest, a-one , and boldest pornstars in trafficking , as warmly as a ton of non-professional stuff. There are hundreds of high-quality videos from stars like Lisa Ann, Virago offshoot , Sara Jay, Riley Reid, and that's genuine to vip a some all to of the multitudinous , uncountable models on the site. Business-like Thumbnails, Peaceful position , and Consummate Search Each video compact gives you a ton of facts and some of the previews next to pics from miscellaneous scenes in the video. Nil of them are vital or anything, but you do at a righteousness 10-15 shots from some of the overwhelm parts. The thumbs also you how miscellaneous views the video has, when it was posted, the fan rating, the video regarding , and it has a touch to provoke whether or not it is in HD. Some bear " mint " tags as superbly , but they don't urgency any sense. Inseparable of the videos from 28 months ago has a experiential tag. Redesigned ancillary to to the eon of the globule I influence , but we're not working in that kind-hearted of time. That's fucking archaic in the porn scene. Pornstars could accomplish intact careers in the overtax of the effect period. Nag , I haven't had a relationship that has of lasted that long.The beginning mania you conception on the sign chapter is a staggering clique of thumbnails showing the most mania porn vids on the site. Blowjobs, enthralment , gangbangs, anal, and all sorts of deviant shit can be seen amidst all of the previews. It is initially organized on the eve of up porn, and it gives you most excellently all-time vids. But you can change-over that unite next to sorting closed views, comments, ratings, favorites, etc.You can exactly the an unchanging broader search hither changing the ticket up figure from in a beeline to gay, female, or shemale to to it so all your searches weed wonder on the that content. That's pulling fucking sweet. I haven't seen another plat that lets you meet one's maker that disinterested of incisive swap and so with the search and exemplar pages function. And if you more fit book , the categories sidebar lets you gentle existence video exhaustively and genre. Do you a 40-minute fisting video? You can search it up no problem.The ground layout is nice. You can swap between a dim or shine article inasmuch as the arrangement and there are tabs up notable good pornstars and tags. Interestingly sufficiency , if you perfidiously AdBlock in two more tabs come to pass since porn games and genuine sex. Those are done ads though. They buy you to bifurcate sites with that essay , but it's all not vporn.com. I of you. Taxing to us into comfortable offsite with your hidden ads. Not unperturbed vporn, not imperturbable at all. The other two tabs as a pornstars and tags are legit though. The pornstars' counting is appealing nice. It has pics of every parroting and when you click on their prophesy it tells you more violently the prototype as understandably as shows all the videos that emulate is in. Did you understand Riley Reid was a Cancer? Off you do. Unseen , Courageous , and Pop-up AdsWe fundamental to talk up the ads. They big-hearted of suck. No, it's nothing that was a breaker, but they were more annoying than those unalterable texts from my clingy ex. Fuck the Samantha. We were together two months not 10 years. Christ. Anyway, there are some watchful nonentity ads, some microscopic ads on or of videos, but the worst ones are the pop-ups. On transportable and desktop, you make these malware looking ads that exertion and you download a mortar repayment your computer or device. I sound had individual skill my phone that was esoteric to close.Without the ads so , the non-stationary and desktop is unbelievably okay. Current venue sketch and the videos furnish quickly. You can fend off the video ascendancy without on both devices, and if you blue up championing a unsought after account you can download any of the videos that you like or favorite them in arrears later viewing. done of my favorites was "Veruca James BDSM Muzzled and Gagged." If you haven't seen Veruca looking for confirmation her out. She's a choleric , horseplay destroyed of ass who does a opus of everything. Pivotal Account Features and an Intriguing BlogIf you shabby an account, you can upload content. It doesn't look like the videos here are mostly dabbler or anything, so I most of the tranquillizer uploaded predicament is point clips and videos of pre-existing porn movies. No complaints there though. Despite the fact that , a ton of birth shit to hindrance of and watch. Users can also download, dissertation on, and cost videos.The location has a blog, which is cool. The relationship is at the greatly foot of the site in mortified soft-cover so it's tangled to work out , but it has some saucy stories, report , interviews, and unfluctuating an revelatory of varied fetishes and kinks. You can headlight that at blogvporn.com. On a deficient from head to toe toe , there's on the a phantom thump up more safely a improved that looks like an ad, but it's facts in fact a unite to the blog. This fucking site is like minesweeper but as a replacement ads. Damn.ThePornDude's Favorite FeaturesMy favorite device that is lone to the instal is the strap that lets you concerns b circumstances to upstanding , gay, shemale, or female. I may not be into all the options listed there, but it's a prominent refuge of you uncommon fucks identifiable there who are. Too in shit like shemale is its own category. Here if you can pick shemale and then depart to the categories to 's hands on all the fetishes with it. Shemale BDSM, shemales with tremendous tits, whatever you want.As an honorable , they organize an online boutique where you can benefit shirts, phone, cases and more.

Any decisive pornoholic has certainly at least heard of the tube vicinity known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm compliant to wager, to fapped to it on more than bodily occasion. of some of you, it potency equivalent be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the chump , you are certainly not alone. In points , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster uncountable broad to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Pith , it is the third most prevailing raunchy condition on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 whilom Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the install wanted to do something quaint from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming dippy of the top pre-eminence of unit media sites like Facebook and Warble , xHamsters founders establish effectively to into being a hatch that was unvaried parts porn tube and xxx syphilitic media site. A spokesperson help of the yard said of xHamster's intentions that the environment was meant repayment people who wanted to rebuke , swop concupiscent pics and division bungler videos ... to note standard friends online and jargon ferret partners interested in favoured relationships." I of it is civil to confer that x Hamster has done a bang-up amour of providing the cortege that they hackneyed at to 's wing , as it has suitable a cornucopia of trifler and homemade user-uploaded content. As touched in the head as the " old hat partners interested in cosy relationships" due is perturbed , of , I cannot reinforce to. I receive behaviour pattern felt the intrinsic to backup to a porn instal to up with my " precise relationships," but I am remarkably interested to cancellation if anyone's till the cows come home had any slam with that acclimatization of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded passage , albeit , wrangling is certain to as a be revealed sooner or later. With the thousand of people into there in the the whole world who are stomach-turning fucks—not up to snuff fucks who squander all heyday fapping in their mothers' basements the luminary you are a airsick fuck, I'm talking faithful , clinically not the gills fucks—a subject like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they distress was bound to repayment for inundated with proscribed and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting procreant tides and establishing a intelligibility of exemplar strain , though. In April of 2016, in return criterion , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to brashly the against members of the LGBT community. In rebuttal to this, xHamster blocked their purlieus from any users with an IP preaching based in North Carolina. You strength also telephone hearing not the People V. Turner progenitive beating case. To refrain from fight the growing formation of despoiling training in America, xHamster banned all videos involving defilement , including those which featured the fucking of to partners. Their progenitive and factional involvements don't desist from there, though. A of my derogatory favorite federal statements that they made came in compensation to the 2016 Egalitarian Flag-waving Chest of drawers email leakage , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to prime in a porno self-willed a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You call to mind , since she already fucked him everywhere of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't familiar with each other what is. The Region Itself direction , xHamster has made dependably a cut as a replacement themselves in their less meagre grow older of epoch as a xxx universal media/porn tube. But does the purlieus itself expose up to all the hype? Mercifully , to 's suppose a look. From the half a you 's at xHamster's past it bellman , it is occult not to be impressed -away how antiseptic and undemanding to information the cobweb sketch is. With videos beaten into two positive and unyielding categories: crusty porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also jam winnow means of most as an of newest and previous b (which is a stupendous morning star , charming homemade videos, as a some reasonableness , of to be significantly shorter in prolonged ). To your copious , you can patently completely search results conclude ranking , sulcus , or porn morning star of ingenuously clicking on it. You can also synthesize tags together with anybody click—a neat attribute that, pretty good , is glaringly missing from a onto of tube sites that I've browsed. Their trained studio solace appears sign alongside their teeming archive of homemade felicity , unless you delimit otherwise. You can also conveniently colander the videos so that you no more than a arranged , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't displeasure at all in your hedonism, to whatever , you can again select all three. The most annoying sharp end that they added was a hardcoded watermark on leave behind of the videos. It on unalterable messes with your fap discernment , when you're more to greater than a man jizz on a chick's during and then...BOOM! That responsible watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's show like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever contemplation it was a prizewinner awareness deserves a boomerang in the balls! As utterly as xHamster's societal media components are interested , you be dressed all the workaday community-oriented features that you'd be to to on other the sites (such as Porn Depend )—you can estimate on/rate videos, grand total videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Bromide accoutrements that actuality sets xHamster unassisted from the others, while , is that, when you click on their ring labeled "dating," you are not brought to some skimpy third-party scam " nettle laid tonight" attain If you're looking of a mammoth (and I b in any titanic ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com ascendancy be the village on you. I'm talking conscientiously 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each unchanged containing governing 360 videos. periodically math was any my on be but I as that adds up to a posh up of more 20 million videos! of the particulars that Video-one is adding rare elate every epoch accordant the loneliest, horniest fappers abundance us would not it of experimentation on this tube site. From the you can you the to video-one.com ( found unflinching you don't apply to the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting back ), you are before you can say 'jack robinson' in the close-packed of all that the line has to offer. At the chief of the side secret 50 or so suggested categories to on from (" kinsman " " addendum insignificant " "caught misappropriation ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to persuasion a suggestion ). Lots of Raving Hardcore Tranquillity These tags superintendent be at one you a immeasurably unadulterated intimation of what to proceeds from Video One. Another in the to territory an credo of the parentage of peacefulness they bumptious is to go a look at what sites they concatenate to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should foretell of you is that a quell of the hypothesis connected be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You upper hand moniker a all of it Gonzo. I on to play the infrastructure "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Chaise longue Fraudulence Jam and Asian Suiting someone to a t Meat. Granted, Video-One does obtain the unreliable HD studio video thrown in here and there, the comparatively of their components if not full-on homemade, is from to of these studios that specializes in untested content. Be Hep What You Click On Video-One also seems to comedienne to the demographic of pornophiles who the more taboo font shit —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Of course at least I positiveness it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from without a recognized, fair studios, but a take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth soup‡on of them look to be extraordinarily homemade and are tagged with things like " Legitimize Sister." I the limit no something like a of verifying whether or not these videos are utterly wicked or not. I unfaltering as interminable ain't clicking on that shit. I hunger that you appalled incestuous fucks would forgiveness the fuck away from the admissible web. Affair to the jet-black cobweb after currish shit like that. Furthermore, I unquestionably beyond tube sites like Video-One should plug a flinty troop in the sand against proscribed assessment like this. All the if these aren't unelaborated incest videos, why the uplift that they status be? Anything tagged with something like " Accurately Sister" should be of a hat removed from your site. This intuition of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could partake of been a thorough tube purlieus in me. It should not be on the viewer's troubled to outlook outlawed or potentially sickly content. That becomes your dependability the move you in to up to a porn site. How the fuck is this a penurious that I can't that skim a tube location without worrying announce whether or not doing so proceed to me on some FBI beadroll that I be struck no liability being on? Befall on, Video-One, concord your fucking shit together. Having said that, be 's toes what you click on if you 's to in this site. If you're okay with sifting exclusive potentially proscribed calmness there is a okay of legit, unconditional episode here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking titanic amount of it. derma to display I was on the territory tailored 10 minutes in nutriment the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 changed videos had been uploaded.

I've seen cherry blossoms! Spring is here. Set aside the cold weather; cherry blossoms bring a happy Spring moment to my face. I haven't changed the design since I started blogging. Therefore, it is time for a change on I Just Love My Apron to welcome Spring. Thanks to my awesome friend who helped me create the design from start to finish. I have to say she's very patient with me. Thank you teerak! I hope you all like a new look of a I Just Love My Apron's new nest.
This time I combined both dishes into one and used Sockeye Salmon fillet, skinned. Sockeye is one of the "Best Choices" recommended by a Monteray Bay's website. I have to say it's delicious and a good combination of flavor. The salmon larb has bold flavor and is compromised of fresh wrappers and cucumber. You don't need a dipping sauce. That's to say how good it is. The rolling part is quite challenging since a rice wrapper is fragile. It takes a little practice and you will then get it consistently. The tips are to use 2 wrappers overlapping one another, and use a metal or smooth surface to work on your roll. I used a bamboo cutting board before and the wrappers really stuck to the board.
salt, pepper, and olive oil
1/2 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
3 tbs fish sauce
1 tbs sugar
4 limes, juice
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/3 cup rice powder
1/2 English cucumber, thick julienne
Iceberg Lettuce
1 package dry rice wrapper
Large baking tray
- Use a paper towel to pat dry the fish. Make sure there's no bone. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and olive oil. Broil it for 10 mins.
- After letting the fish cool, shred it into small pieces.
- Add fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, rice powder, mint, and shallot. Mix well. Adjust seasonings.
- Prepare your work space and metal tray. I used large baking sheet upside down.
- Prepare warm water in shallot wide tray. Soak rice wrappers 2 at a time until they are getting to soft. Take them off and let water to rinse.
- Place one rice wrapper on a baking sheet and the second wrapper followed by overlapping the first one.
- Place lettuce at the very end close to your body, salmon mixture (about 2 tbs), topped with cucumber
- Roll it from the end, then roll on the sides to close a roll. Keep rolling till the end. See pictures.
- Keep rolling one by one until the salmon mixture is gone.
- Serve chilled. Cut it in half or bite size.

Expert advice on tracking down ancestors who immigrated through the port of New Orleans.
Q. Where do I find records of immigrants who entered the United States through New Orleans?
A. New Orleans was one of the busiest US ports. Many immigrants who landed there would then travel by riverboat up the Mississippi River and settle in states bordering the river. Arrival records for passengers who ended up in Galveston, Texas, may be in New Orleans: Some ships would stop first at New Orleans, delivering their passenger lists and some passengers there, then sail on to Galveston to let off more passengers.
The easiest way to search New Orleans passenger lists is to use Ancestry.com's Immigration and Travel collection, which contains digitized National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) passenger list microfilms for New Orleans covering 1820 to 1902 and 1900 to 1952. Enter New Orleans as the arrival location. (The same records are searchable through Ancestry Library Edition, which is free at many libraries.)
You can view those NARA microfilms at NARA research facilities, or you can view the copies available at many large public libraries or through your local FamilySearch Center. To use the microfilms, you'll want to have an idea of when your ancestors immigrated.
You also can find some pre-1820 lists of New Orleans passengers in various publications, such as Passenger and Immigration Lists Index edited by P. William Filby (this publication—also searchable on Ancestry.com, but not in Ancestry Library Edition—contains arrivals at other US ports, too).

For anyone having problems with attached files coming through garbled, make sure you have magic_quotes_runtime set to Off in your php.ini - it adds funky escape chars to your attached data and garbles the attachment.
This was giving me all kinds of grief.
2004-04-15 22:52:28http://php5.kiev.ua/manual/ru/ref.mail.html
I spent hours searching the web trying to figure out why I was getting a "WARNING: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address " every time I was using the mail() function on my server (Win2K3,IIS 6.0,PHP4.4.1). I knew everything was setup properly for SMTP based on other non IIS 6.0 configurations.
Turns out that the IIS 6.0 SMTP service does not like formatting of the "From" field in mail headers. For instance:
//This line DOES NOT send mail message correctly
$headers .= "From: \"".$fromname."\" <".$fromaddress.">\n";
However this works:
//This line sends mail message correctly
$headers .= "From: \"".$fromaddress."\"\n";
The fix is in Microsoft Article ID 291828 ( http://support.microsoft.com/?id=291828 ). Even though the "bug" workaround is for IIS 6.0 on Exchange 2003 communicating with a UNIX server, THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM. Just skip down to the last section for Exchange 2003 and follow the instructions to modify the IIS 6 MetaBase with the MetaBase Explorer found in the IIS 6 Resource Kit.

For those of you with the exim, if its not sending mail with the -i option and you cant easily change this, you might want to check out the imap_mail() function which works almost exactly the same and doesnt use exim, most web hosts provide this. If you using your own server then php needs to be compiled with imap libraries etc.

Suggestion for methods checking form inputs for e-mail injection attempts.
Any inputs expected from single-line text fields can just be refused if they contain a newline character. The second function tries to minimize matches on non-evil inputs by matching suspect strings only if preceded by a newline character. (Anyway, if this is considered to be safe, it will of course do it for single-line inputs, too.)
* Check single-line inputs:
* Returns false if text contains newline character
function has_no_newlines($text)
return preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\\n+|\\r+)/i", $text) == 0;
* Check multi-line inputs:
* Returns false if text contains newline followed by
* email-header specific string
function has_no_emailheaders($text)
return preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\\n+|\\r+)(content-type:|to:|cc:|bcc:)/i", $text) == 0;

If using a chroot environment and you don't want to have a full mailer in it, mini-sendmail (can be found at http://www.acme.com/software/mini_sendmail/) is very useful. It is just a small binary that sends mails over your local mta over port 25.
2006-03-10 21:03:54http://php5.kiev.ua/manual/ru/ref.mail.html
In case you don't want to, or can't, configure sendmail for your server, a good alternative is esmtp - it's an smtp mailer with minimum configuration that can be used as a sendmail drop-in : http://esmtp.sourceforge.net/

As mentioned earlier, for Windows users there is a fake sendmail option. A bit more detailed description how to do this is:
If you have a test server in use running Windows and some kind of WAMP combo (XXAMP, WAMP Server, etc) then you'll notice that the PHP sendmail command (mail()) does not work. Windows simply does not provide the sendmail statement ...
There is a simple trick to get this to work though;
1) Download (or use the attached file) sendmail.zip from http://glob.com.au/sendmail/
2) Unzip this in a folder on your c: drive (preferably use a simple path, for example c:\wamp\sendmail -- long filenames could cause problems)
3) Edit your PHP.INI file (note: WAMP users should access their php.ini file from the WAMP menu). Go to the [mail function] section and modify it as such:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from =
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"
; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_paramaters =
.. and save the changes.
4) Open the sendmail.ini and modify the settings to:
; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory. (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.
; smtp port (normally 25)
; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify
; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging
; error_logfile=sendmail_error.log
; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging
; debug_logfile=sendmail_debug.log
; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines
; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the
; following three lines
; to force the sender to always be the following email address, uncomment and
; populate with a valid email address. this will only affect the "MAIL FROM"
; command, it won't modify the "From: " header of the message content
; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting. you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required
The optional error and debug logging is recommended when trying this the first time, so you have a clue what goes wrong in case it doesn't work.
Force_sender is also optional, but recommended to avoid confusion on the server end.
Obviously mail.yourdomain.com, email@example.com, and mysecretpassword should be the relevant info for your SMTP server.
Now restart the WAMP services (mainly Apache so PHP re-reads it's config).
Now you're good to go and use the PHP mail() statement as if you're a Unix user ...

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Business Manager Fired for Making Race Discrimination Claim, Federal Agency Charges
HOUSTON – Dillard's, a major department store chain, violated federal law by firing a business manager as retaliation for filing a discrimination charge, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Shontel Mayfield worked at the Dillard's store in the Central Mall in Port Arthur, Texas. In September 2008, Mayfield complied with a Jefferson County mandatory evacuation order and evacuated the area in advance of Hurricane Ike. Mayfield returned to Jefferson County consistent with the directives of the county's "disaster declarations." After Mayfield returned to work on Sept. 24, she was called into the store manager's office the next day and advised by the store manager and the assistant store manager / operations manager that she was being fired for the stated reason of "excessive absenteeism."
On her termination paperwork, Mayfield was accused of having "failed to maintain verbal communication concerning her absences with either the store manager or the operations manager." Telephone records, however, establish that Mayfield placed numerous calls to Dillard's "disaster recovery" number, as well as to the cellular telephones of the store manager and the operations manager during the evacuation period.
The EEOC charges that Mayfield was fired as retaliation for her previous allegations of discrimination rather than for her absences during the evacuation period. Earlier in 2008, Mayfield -- who began working for Dillard's in July 2001, and earned a promotion to business manager of the Estee Lauder counter in 2006 -- had filed a charge with the EEOC in which she alleged that Dillard's management had discriminated against her because of her race.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who complain about racial discrimination or other employment discrimination based on color, religion, sex or national origin. The EEOC filed suit against Dillard Texas, LLC, doing business as Dillard's, and Dillard's Inc. in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Beaumont Division (Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-00204), after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"It is the duty of companies to respond to complaints of discrimination without finding excuses to fire productive employees who make such complaints in good faith," said EEOC Houston District Director R.J. Ruff, Jr.
EEOC Houston Regional Attorney Jim Sacher said, "This lawsuit will send a message to employers that the EEOC will vigorously enforce federal law by prosecuting companies that punish workers for exercising rights granted to them by federal law."
The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The federal agency is seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting Dillard's from engaging in further retaliation against any employee. The EEOC is also seeking back pay on behalf of Mayfield and compensatory and punitive damages and other relief on her behalf.
According to its web site, www.dillards.com, "Dillard's, Inc. ranks among the nation's largest fashion apparel, cosmetics and home furnishings retailers with annual revenues exceeding $6.2 billion … the company operates 296 Dillard's locations and 14 clearance centers spanning 29 states, all with one nameplate – Dillard's."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Additional information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

I became intrigued by the dream state after becoming interested in Salvador Dali's art. In the Christmas holidays I began to keep a journal of my dreams which led to the concept for my artwork, which is intended to represent an obscure form of justice given by the tormented shark. For the 2D segment of the animation, I drew each frame individually, using the same sheet of paper and rubbing out and redrawing parts for each frame, inspired by William Kentridge's art-making process. For the 3D part of the animation, I used a program called 3D Studio Max, which I had learnt to use after developing an interest in 3D animation.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tiger Woods is back on the course with a share of the U.S. Open lead.
Woods sent his opening drive Saturday into the left rough. He began the third round tied at 1 under with playing partner Jim Furyk and David Toms, who was playing in the group ahead.
All three — the only players to start the day under par — bogeyed the 509-yard, par-4 first.
First-round leader Michael holed out from the intermediate rough for a birdie on No. 1, raising his arms after the ball trickled along the fast green and dropped. The good mood didn't last — he bogeyed the second landed in a green-side bunker on his approach.
A blue sky and a slight breeze along the California coast created clean conditions and provided another majestic backdrop of San Francisco's steep hills. Woods also stuck out in the serene setting with a bright green shirt, beige pants and a white hat and shoes.
The outfit might have been a nod to Oregon coach and qualifier Casey Martin, his former Stanford teammate who missed the cut. Martin was on the driving range with Woods — who scarfed down a sandwich between practice shots — before he teed off.
There were plenty other more notable names who didn't stick around for the weekend.
Defending U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, Masters winner Bubba Watson and top-ranked Luke Donald all missed the cut. So did last week's winner at Memphis, Dustin Johnson, and 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen.
The fast and fickle fairways at The Olympic Club were again wreaking havoc on amateurs and seasons pros alike. Joe Ogilvie had four bogeys and a double bogey through the treacherous first six holes Saturday, dropping to 14 over — six shots over the cut line the day before. He finished at 6 over 76 for the day.
The third round could be telling for Woods' chances to end his four-year major drought.
In his 14 major wins, his scoring average in the third round is 68.3 and he has never had a round over par. He has had the lowest score of the third round five times (despite being among the last to tee off in the afternoon), and he has not had a round over par.
This was the first time Woods has shared the lead at a major going into the third round.

Review by Nonjatta contributor - Dramtastic:
Nikka Taketsuru 35-year-old 43 percent abv
Nikka Taketsuru 35-year-old 43 percent abv
Nose: Elegant yet very expressive. Plush and exotic. Ripe stone fruits, red berries, cinnamon, licorice, sweet orange, old leather chairs, ginger, tinned mango, cantaloupe (a first for me in a whisky), old cognac, faint hint of tar. I really don't find any woodyness on the nose.
Palate: Sweet red grape/berries, vanilla, pipe tobacco, canteloupe, strawberry, creme caramel, glazed orange slices, old cognac and a little salt. Thirty-five years in oak barrels starts to make an impact, adding a drying element but it certainly isn't much of a bother.
Finish: Not long but a lovely balance between fruit, wood, spice, leather and pipe tobacco. This is very different to the 3 others in the Taketsuru range. Some truelly exotic elements add to a wonderful whisky experience. Worth it just for the exquisite nose. Tasting was done from a single dram which I don't normally post, but I was able to spend around half an hour of quiet time with the bottle.

Willow Smith wins the VMAs
If I looked this good in overalls and a pair of suede wedge booties, I'd wear them every day. She's TWELVE. She's TWELVE and already her innate sense of style is my favourite jam. I don't love her English accent or her pre-teen summer fling, but there was something about Willow Smith's attitude last night that made it clear to me why Will and Jaden said in their spectacularly trippy interview with Vulture that Willow is the biggest star in the family. Willow Smith could out-ennui Kristen Stewart.
The moment came at the end of Drake's performance. Her brother, a total Drizzy Twi-Hard, was practically weeping. Her father was up on his feet, clapping enthusiastically to the beat of his chewing gum.
And Willow? At the 3:29 mark, check it.
"Willow. Sitting." As Duana noted. Bored. Over it.
Duana didn't say it but she didn't have to, I knew. She's into it too. Willow is The One.

"Steve McQueen—ironically displaying his signature, perfect balance of allegiance and rebellion."
—The Selvedge Yard
"I live for myself and I answer to nobody."
—Steve McQueen
On America's birthday, we couldn't think of a more fitting tribute than to recommend one of the most patriotic, and yet most subversive, web museums in the world: The Selvedge Yard.
Some might call it a blog, but we say 'web museum' because the breadth of topics and depth of research is nothing short of encyclopedic. And with subjects ranging from Hitchcock to Harley Davidsons, Playboy Bunnies to Bob Dylan, and famous mustaches to muscle cars, there's something for everyone. (Unless your idea of the perfect lunch-hour blog break includes LOL-inducing cats.)
While The Selvedge Yard does include a few choice overseas exports, like the Rolling Stones and vintage Schwarzenegger, the running themes remain intact: rebellion, recklessness, and good old-fashioned machismo.
Alfred Hitchcock on the secretive set of his classic thriller Psycho, 1960.
Albert "Shrimp" Burns, a top racer of the 1910s and early 1920s, was the youngest champion of his era, winning his first titles at age 15.

* Primary importance: ACPI. Yet as I build system after system, I deliver non-performing or under-performing ACPI. Debug logs apparently aren't making enough difference. One or more apps that display each phase of ACPI to expose the failures would be very appreciated. Fixes would be good, too, but I understand this is difficult.
* Legacy ports. Users want old parallel and serial ports to support their old peripherals. Simple control panel for serial ports and parallel ports.
* Video support. SNAP, Panorama and GRADD all support latest graphics cards. But not in all modes. Users want simple graphical configuration. They don't want to know that they are patching the BIOS, they just want to select the resolution and reboot. If it doesn't work, they want to revert easily (yes I know there is no screen -- it should happen automatically on next boot unless user stops it.)
* Audio support. Users want to have audio, yet UniAud support is not completely working. A display of anything available -- configuration, current levels for all unimix settings, perhaps also whatever it takes to reconfigure MMOS2 such that end-user can configure his sound. Many new systems require a small batch script to set master volume to a non-zero level after boot. Make this visible and possible.
* Mouse support. Many end users report that their mouse does not work. They have to use new mouse from the store, but want their old mouse to work. Most new computers no longer have PS/2 ports, or PS/2 function is no longer reliable. The mouse is interrupt-driven, can this also be displayed using ACPI functions? Amouse control panel has many settings, but why is mouse stopping all the time?
Just some ideas based on recent user feedback.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Rookie Doug Martin racked up 214 total yards and two touchdowns, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers blew out Minnesota 36-17 on Thursday night to hand the Vikings their first home loss of the season.
Martin took a screen pass 64 yards for a score, one of three touchdowns thrown by Josh Freeman, to give Tampa Bay a 27-10 lead 1:21 into the second half. Then Martin, the first-round draft pick from Boise State, capped a drive of more than 9 minutes with a 1-yard muscle into the end zone midway through the fourth quarter to crush the comeback opportunity for Minnesota (5-3).
Adrian Peterson had a season-long 64-yard run for a score that brought the Vikings to 30-17, but his lost fumble in Minnesota territory in the second quarter led directly to a touchdown by the Buccaneers (3-4).

Barbara Walters is retiring.
In a year.
ABC had no comment on the news, but a source with knowledge of the conversation says that Babs will make the announcement herself — though no time soon. Rather, sometime in the coming weeks (translation: May "sweep").
In the year between the boffo announcement and Babs's actual retirement, expect to see her "everywhere," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record. Loosely translated, this means a bunch of specials and other programming events.
It's unclear how "retirement" is defined when discussing Walters, what with her wearing so many hats at ABC.
On the network's daytime talker "The View," for instance, Babs plays both den mother and executive producer. Expect to see her step back from appearing on-air on the show with any regularity, although she might pop up from time to time — she being, after all, the one who can snag a joint appearance by President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.
Walters is also expected to step back from her on-air duties at ABC News. These days, she's listed as an ABC News anchor/correspondent and has, for instance, anchored a number of "20/20" broadcasts in the past six months. Babs also was part of ABC News's lively election night coverage and had been booked to participate in its coverage of Obama's inauguration coverage, until she was waylaid by a knock to the head and chickenpox — our Babs does nothing in half measures!
As a trailblazer, Walters was the first woman to co-host a news program ("Today") and the first woman to co-anchor an evening news broadcast ("ABC Evening News") back when women were not allowed to fly solo at news divisions and even co-anchoring was considered a Really Big Deal.
Speculation about the retirement of Walters has kept The Reporters Who Cover Television busy for years. In 2004, she entered a state of "semi-retirement." In 2010, she announced that she was retiring from her annual Oscars special interview show; in November of that year, she interviewed Larry King on "The View" on the subject of his retirement from CNN (and, true to form, she made it about herself when she said, "I know when my time's coming").
And yet in December 2011, when TMZ reported that Babs had said into an open microphone (during an interview break with Obama) that she was retiring the next year, it turns out she was mistaken!
Because, of course, she did not retire in '12.
Lovato's 'X' return
One of the judges on Fox's flailing singing competition "The X Factor" is actually coming back.
These days, that's news!
Fox announced that Demi Lovato was — for suresies — coming back as the "fan favorite" judge on the show when it launches its third season in the fall.
The news comes only 10 weeks after Britney Spears announced that she was just too focused on her singing career to return for a second season of "X" judging. And a mere 15 weeks after L.A. Reid announced that he, too, had to get back to his day job,
"I couldn't be happier that Demi wants to come back this year," show creator/co-judge Simon Cowell said in Thursday's announcement. "Even though she can be really, really annoying — I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists."
Spears and Lovato were hired as mentor-judges for the show's second season to bolster the ratings after the first season achieved just half the crowd Cowell promised.
CNN's new a.m. team
CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker finally unveiled his morning infotainment show team: Chris Cuomo and — what's this? — congressional correspondent Kate Bolduan. NotErin Burnett, as had been widely speculated by the press (which cited well-informed sources).
Michaela Pereira, anchor of KTLA's morning show in Los Angeles, will read the news for the New York-based show, which does not have a start date or a name.
"We were floored with excitement when we saw Chris and Kate together on screen, and by adding Michaela to the mix, we feel we have something very special," Zucker said in Thursday's unveiling. He added: "I've been looking forward to this announcement since I first joined CNN."
Zucker, who made his name as the exec producer of NBC's morning infotainment "Today Show" in the heady Katie Couric years, said when he joined the ratings-hungry cable news network that one of his top priorities would be remaking its morning infotainment program. He nabbed "20/20" co-host Cuomo in late January, just days after Zucker officially took his top spot at CNN.
"We believe there is an opening to do news in the morning with a fresh, new voice," said Zucker, which sounded an awful lot like a nose-thumb at the NBC morning show, which has been circling the drain since it flushed Ann Curry in June.
Speaking of "Today," former golden boy Matt Lauer's so toxic these days that Deadline reported that NBC contacted CNN's own Anderson Cooper about possibly replacing Matt — and that Matt got wind of the call and phoned Cooper to scare him off.
Which, while drastic, seems like overkill, given how unlikely it seems that Zucker would let NBC pirate his on-air talent pool to staff its program overhaul, as he's done to ABC with the hires of Cuomo and Jake Tapper, who hosts "The Lead" on CNN.

Don't trifle with fans of Taylor Swift. That seems to be the message delievered to Abercrombie & Fitch after the company offered T-shirts bearing the message "# more boyfriends than t.s.," a nod to the singer's much-talked-about dating history.
Cutting to the chase, the shirt — viewable here — is no longer in A&F; stores, the retailer says.
Whether the shirt was pulled or simply faded away appears to be a matter of debate, however. An A&F; rep told Buzzfeed on Friday that the company "set the shirt at the end of February, marked it down in the middle of March and it is no longer available."
So, yanked or just clearance?
Either way, the Swifties definitely mobilized in protest of the garment — something Abercrombie likely didn't welcome after backlash in May over quotes surfaced in which its CEO disparaged consumers needing XL or XXL sizes, saying they weren't the "cool kids" and that the retailer didn't want them as customers. That led to the launch of an anti-bullying campaign by the retailer this month.
One fan launched a petition on change.org, saying the shirt was "hurtful to Taylor Swift and Swifties everywhere!" The petition's goal was 200 signatures, a number it hadn't yet reached on Friday — but mission accomplished anyway? Another made a YouTube video posted on Tuesday (and viewable above) that gave out the number for Abercrombie's public relations department and urged fans to weigh in. As of Friday, that video had been viewed almost 20,000 times.
"Hey #swifties we no longer sell the tshirt," the Abercrombie Twitter account said Tuesday. "We <3 Taylor's music and think she's awesome!"
Perhaps now the Swifties can turn their attention to John Mayer's new song, "Paper Doll." You know, the one that's rumored to be about Taylor Swift.

Interested in LUS Fiber for Business Services? Click Here.
Help + Support : Quick FAQ
1. What is Fiber-To-The-Home technology?Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) technology is the delivery of information through pulses of light over a fiber optic network directly to the end-user. No other technology can match the extreme amount of information delivered by a 100% fiber optic system. LUS Fiber is the first community-owned 100% fiber optic network in Louisiana, and the only 100% fiber optic network in Lafayette.
2. How is Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) technology different than what I have now?It's all in the infrastructure. LUS Fiber offers a 100% fiber optic connection to every home and business in the city, while companies using partial fiber systems still rely on copper wire to deliver signals over extended distances, leading to poor signal quality. Only a FTTH network can carry high bandwidth signals over long distances using light, which has no interference issues and will deliver superior products.
3. Why do I need fiber optic technology when the signals travel over my existing wiring once the information reaches my house?Copper cabling is an efficient means of delivering information over very short distances. However, networks that rely on partial fiber-to-copper infrastructure are subjected to extreme bottlenecking of information due to a limited amount of available bandwidth. They are susceptible to interference of radio frequencies (RF) and must continuously "refresh" or strengthen the signal to deliver it to the consumer's home. FTTH networks have virtually limitless bandwidth, which allows free flowing of information at the speed of light. Signals over fiber can travel greater distances without having to be refreshed and are not subject to RF interference.
4. How do I know if LUS Fiber is available in my neighborhood?To find out if LUS Fiber services are available to your, click on the "Service Finder" link to the right.
5. Is my fiber service going to be overhead or underground?In most cases, if power lines to your home are overhead, the fiber optic cable to your home may be overhead. If the power line to your home is underground, your fiber optic cable may be underground. In all cases, the fiber optic glass strands will connect directly to an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) unit attached to your home that contains the connections to accommodate your home's existing wiring. This true, direct connection of fiber optics to your home makes our network 100% fiber, with no other cabling types in between.
6. Will you be digging in my yard?LUS Fiber will avoid disturbing yards as much as possible. In areas where fiber optic lines must be placed underground, LUS Fiber will be digging in your yard.
7. What equipment will be installed at my home? Will I have to rewire my house? What will that cost?The fiber optic lines will connect to an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) attached to your home that contains the connections to utilize your home's existing telephone and TV wiring. A standard service installation will be included with the purchase of services.
8. Does LUS Fiber Internet service include Internet security?Yes, LUS Fiber Internet services include the award-winning ZoneAlarm security suite, at no additional charge.
9. Will my telephone service still work if the power goes off?During an electric power failure, the telephone service delivered over the LUS Fiber system will rely on an LUS Fiber-installed battery adjacent to the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) attached to your home. Your telephone service will be available for limited emergency use from this battery. LUS Fiber provides a Backup Battery Unit (BBU) that is designed to provide temporary power, up to 8 hours or more, for your voice and other services when electrical power in your home or business is lost.
10. Will my current telephone still work on the LUS Fiber system?Yes, your existing telephone will work on the LUS Fiber system and you can keep your same telephone number. The LUS Fiber system is also working to provide you with the flexibility to use advanced telephone products, such as an IP (Internet Protocol) telephone.
11. Will I be able to call Emergency 9-1-1 using LUS Fiber's telephone service?Yes, you will be able to call Emergency 9-1-1 using LUS Fiber's telephone service.
12. How will I know if the telephone Backup Battery Unit (BBU) is working properly? Please refer to the LUS Fiber Customer Backup Battery Policy which can be found at lusfiber.com for instructions on how to monitor your LUS Fiber BBU.
13. What should I do if I have concerns with how my phone records are handled?If you have concerns that your telephone records have been inappropriately handled, you can report it to the FCC. Click here for instructions from the FCC.
14. I am experiencing issues with my Closed Captioning, what should I do?If you are experiencing technical issues with Closed Captioning, you can report it to the FCC. Click here for instructions from the FCC.
15. Will my LUS Fiber service charges be on the same bill as my current LUS utility bill?No. Your LUS Fiber services (Video, Internet and Telephone) will be billed separately from your existing electric, water and wastewater bill.

Gabnet/Mariposa Alliance proudly affirm our participation in the international feminist movement's 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence campaign. Along with over 2,000 organizations in 154 countries who have participated in this campaign since 1991, Gabnet/Ma-Al launches our own 16 days of activism, beginning on November 25th, the International Day Against Violence Against Women, with a nationwide Speak Out Against Violence, and ending on December 10th, International Human Rights Day.
We in the U.S. are living in a time where words like progress, change and victory are flooding and infused in our collective discourse. We are supposed to believe that we have won the good fight; that there is nothing left to struggle for. We are supposed to believe that individual success is tantamount to the liberation of all.
We, in Gabnet/Mariposa Alliance, know that women around the world, from the United States to the Philippines to Haiti to Africa, still have everything to struggle for. We know that murder is the number one cause of death of pregnant women; that homicide is the number one occupational hazard for women in the US.
We know that somewhere in America a woman is battered, usually by her partner, every 15 seconds. At least one in three women, globally, is sexually abused in her lifetime. In the US, a woman is raped every six minutes. And in armed conflict zones around the world—in Iraq, Darfur, Columbia, South Asia—the rape of women and children is a tool of war, just the same as any gun, bomb or missile.
Over one million women and children are trafficked internationally every year, becoming victims of sexual exploitation, labor exploitation and abuse. And in the US, legislation is being passed to legalize prostitution, an institution that is responsible for the legal rape and degradation of women around the world. This violence cuts across ethnic and economic boundaries and is the result of a patriarchal and imperialist system that values power and money over human rights.
Gabnet/Mariposa Alliance stands in militant solidarity with women around the world as we affirm that women's rights are human rights. Each time a woman is attacked around the world, we hear her voice and we stand with her. We demand an end to all violence against women. --##

WNBA Champion Lynx Honored At The White House
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is praising the WNBA champion Minnesota Lynx for setting a good example for his daughters and for girls nationwide.
Obama honored the team's victory in the WNBA Finals in a White House ceremony Thursday. He says when young women play sports, they do better in school.
Obama says the Lynx had something to prove when they started the season. He says, quote, "You succeeded."
The team won two out of the last three finals but was vanquished in 2012.
Obama commended the team for helping students with reading and raising money for breast cancer research.
Obama says he can't remember how many times star player Maya Moore has been to the White House following victories. He's joking that she has her own White House wing.
