Talk about a wrecking ball.
Miley Cyrus has stopped following her fiance Liam Hemsworth on Twitter.
The move comes after Liam was reportedly sexting with January Jones. And although Liam's rep denied the rumors, it's clear something is going on between the two.
U.S. & World
NEWS: Liam's rep slams January Jones rumors
Although the couple have remained quiet about their relationship, Miley's move just adds to the speculation the couple of four years may be finally headed for a breakup.
Not to mention the couple's been more distant than ever as proven at Hemsworth's Los Angeles premiere of Paranoia last month, where the two were last spotted together.
And the couple have put even more distance between them with Miley promoting her upcoming album Bangerz in Europe while Liam's apparently living it up in Las Vegas, as his latest tweet reveals.
NEWS: Miely's "Wrecking Ball" inspires hilarious memes
The Hunger Games actor last tweeted today, revealing: "Excited for @FloydMayweather vs. @CaneloOficial #TheOne @SHOSports @mgmgrand"
Looks like Miley won't be getting that update any time soon.

This is the second blog in our two-part series on sustainability. Last week's blog, Green Scene, focused on recycling efforts.
When do growth and reduction go hand-in-hand? When the world's posts are trying to grow their business but reduce their carbon footprint.
The 25 national postal operators that make up the International Post Corporation (IPC) have made great strides toward achieving their carbon dioxide emission reduction goals, but they hit a bump in 2013 and 2014. A coalition of the world's industrialized posts, the IPC is aiming to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent by 2020. Half of the IPC members have already reached the target. But last year marked the first increase in emissions from the use of heating and transport fuel for the group as a whole since the IPC environmental measurement program began in 2009.
One reason for the backsliding is actually a good problem. The global growth in e-commerce, which has boosted the posts' number of parcel deliveries, is making emission reduction targets more challenging. Especially harsh winters in some countries and a big increase in size in one of the operator's delivery networks have also contributed to the posts' higher fuel consumption.
IPC officials are stressing the importance of switching to renewable energy, either self-generated or purchased, wherever possible.
The U.S. Postal Service is one of the 25 posts taking part in the IPC Environmental Measurement and Monitoring Program. It's also one of the posts that saw its transportation fuel use increase. In its 2014 Sustainability Report, the Postal Service notes that "an aging [postal vehicle] fleet and the need to service more delivery points are pushing our fuel demand upward." Still, the Postal Service must continue its efforts to manage its fuel resources as efficiently as possible, for both its own fleet and its contracting vehicles. (Our 2014 audit report offered recommendations on encouraging fuel efficient practices in highway contract routes.) This should get easier in the next couple of years as the Postal Service replaces its long-life vehicle fleet. This summer the Postal Service will select vendors to build new vehicle prototypes and it will award a contract of up to $6.3 billion over several years beginning in 2017.
With continued parcel growth expected, how can the world's posts meet the demands of customers while reducing their carbon footprints? What technologies might benefit the Postal Service specifically?

Several years into Colorado's experiment with legalized medical marijuana, advocates of the drug want to decriminalize its use for everyone, regardless of their health conditions.
Amendment 64 seeks to apply many of the same laws for alcohol to marijuana possession and use. If it passes, Coloradans age 21 and older could legally possess up to 1 ounce of the drug, grow as many as six marijuana plants for their personal use and buy the drug in specially licensed stores.
Local governments could not ban the drug, although using it in public could still be prohibited. The amendment also calls for the Legislature to apply taxes to marijuana that are similar to alcohol excise taxes. No matter how Coloradans vote, the federal government still treats marijuana as an illegal drug.
Pro-pot activist Mason Tvert of Denver is the initiative's main sponsor. Delegates to the Democratic state convention also endorsed Amendment 64.
Arguments for: Marijuana prohibition has created a black market for the drug, and by legalizing its sale, the state could regulate it and hand the market over to responsible businesses, not illegal street dealers. People who prefer marijuana to alcohol – a legal drug – shouldn't be penalized, advocates say.
Arguments against: One ounce is a lot of marijuana – about 60 cigarettes. Marijuana is a mood-altering drug that can cause dependence, according to the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Legalization could lead to increased use. Campaign money: The Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project has given $1.1 million to the pro-64 campaign. As a nonprofit, its donors are not public.

Kiowa Literature
The Kiowa are a Plains Indians who speak a Kiowa-Tanoan language. Kiowa tradition speaks of a migration in the company of the Kiowa APACHE into the Plains from the headwaters of the Missouri River during the 18th century. At that time they were organized in 10 independent bands and numbered an estimated 3,000. The ARAPAHO, CHEYENNE, and Dakota (SIOUX) pushed them out of the Black Hills region southwestward into their historic range along the headwaters of the Arkansas, Cimarron, Canadian, and Red rivers.
There they met and at first fought the COMANCHE, but, from c.1790, Kiowa and Comanche shared territories and together raidedsettlements in Texas and New Mexico. Their raids furnished horses and mules for trade with northern Plains tribes. Although the Kiowa accepted a restricted range between the Washita and Red rivers at the Medicine Lodge Treaty of 1867, tribal resistance continued. Since 1875, however, the Kiowa have adapted to reservation life in Oklahoma.

Suitcase Royale Space Show
Note: This review is from 2009
Well, in the intervening two years, they've thrown their reticence out of the window: this is a ribald, Knockabout show, still visually inventive, often stupidly surreal, but with a much looser, pantomime feel to it.
Space Show involves a suitably silly set-up. A trio of astro-adventurers, Chuck Norris, Kevin Bacon and Kerry O'Brien, travel the cosmos in a race against time to track down the evil genius/failed singing star responsible for mannequinitis, a terrifying disease that has already paralysed their crewmate.
Cue plenty of lunatic adventures across the galaxies with silly costumes, a cardboard Scottish android and a spirit guide with a pizza box for a head. It will come as no surprise to learn that the trio owe a debt to the Mighty Boosh: possibly too large a debt, because at times this felt like a tribute show. A good tribute show, admittedly, but from a troupe striving for originality, it's unfortunate that the echoes sound so loudly.
The Suitcase Royale trio of Jof O'Farrell, Miles O'Neil and Glen Walton are certainly likeable performers, jollying along the shenanigans with a light touch and good humour, although they sometimes let the chaos get away from them. Breaking out of the script to banter among themselves can bring a refreshing touch of spontaneity, but like a strong spice, it should be used sparingly, lest it overwhelm the whole dish.
From their subdued beginnings, the pendulum has perhaps swung too far towards the disorganised. But the dominant spirit is still one of fun. The props and sets are still impressive – made with more inventiveness than cash, the wobbly walls, inflatable planets and home-made rockets all have an undeniable quirky charm – while the set pieces keep the audience guessing what will come next.
And I, certainly, would like to see what comes next from the Suitcase Royale boys, as they've a spaceship full of talent, but haven't yet hit on the brilliant show that's surely within them.

As Kim Kardashian partied the night away as a single lady for her 30th birthday Friday, Mom Kris Jenner thought, well, what any mother with a single 30-year-old daughter would think: where are the grandbabies?
"I wish you all love and happiness," Jenner said at her famous girl's Las Vegas bash, People reported. "No pressure -- but if you happen to find a husband and have 1,000 kids, I'd be really happy."
Siblings Khloe, Kourtney, and Rob as well as celeb buddies La La Vasquez, Kelly Rowland and Perez Hilton joined the socialite in a rowdy night at the Tao Las Vegas ahead of Kim's birthday, Us magazine reported. People Mag wrote that Mamma Jenner made it clear to Kim she had four children by the time she was her age.
"I've definitely heard that a few times," Kim Kardashian said. Sis Kourtney, 31, had a baby with longtime boyfriend Scott Sisick and Khloe, 25, married L.A. Lakers' Lamar Odom last year.
The reality TV starlet, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be feeling too much pressure. She told USA Today that having cameras document her life makes it "hard to date" and she feels more comfortable going about town during off seasons.
"It's all a learning experience. I think I'm still trying to figure it out," she said. "That's why I think it's probably best for me to be single right now. It's a lot easier than to try and figure out who like me for really me (and) who wants to be on a show."
New Orleans Saints football player Reggie Bush didn't make the cut as Kardashian's Mr. Right, and their break-up is chronicled on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Dallas Cowboys beau Miles Austin also parted ways in September.
Even with Kim's reasoning, It seems that everyone has their own two-cents on Kim's love life. BFF La La Vazquez told PopEater she thinks the L.A. brunette has a better chance if she ditches the football jerseys for a "suit-and-tie."
"I'm working on hooking her up on a blind date," La La told the blog backstage at "The Joy Behar Show." "Kim doesn't go around saying, 'I want to be in love.' She's happy. She's enjoying her life, but as friends, when you see someone you kick, you say, I want to hook you up with this person or that person. That's just what friends do. Why? Friends hooked me up with my husband."
Although it's impossible to predict when Kim Kardashian's happily ever will come along (or even Kardashian Jr.'s), we look forward to watching it on T.V.

In a commentary type of article, Michael Hartlieb (who seems to be an NAB or C3SR mole) complains a lot in an article published by seeking alpha. The guy is apparently stuck in a thinking process that just doesn't work. It almost seems as if a year and a half into the merger, that he is looking for support of his irrational thinking.
He claims to be a shareholder, yet consistantly stands in the way of the Sirius / Xm merger being approved. He claims that Sirius and Xm have refused to answer interoperability issues, then goes on to explain that they did in fact answer. Apparently, he just didn't like the answer.
He goes on to cite the interoperability issue using Nascar as an example. He comes to the false conclusion that that a consumer who had xm would not have had to switch radios, programming and services if interoperable radios were available. Wrong Mr. Hartlieb...you would have had to switch services. In fact, the merger is the only way to AVOID switching services...that's the whole point of why the merger is good for consumers.
This NAB mole seeks to start a fire of opposition by making the preposturous proposal that all current subscribers will be forced to go out and buy new radios...Honestly, I can't believe seeking alpha published this commentary. The only reason I mention it here, is because it seems they are fishing for supporters. Someone wants our opinion. So .. I ask that you give your opinion to them.. I did.

"A tax cut is non-targeted. If you put a tax cut into the hands of either a business or an individual today, there is no guarantee we can control them they're going to invest their money. There's no guarantee they're going to invest their money in the United States. They're free to go to invest anywhere that they want, if they choose to invest.
The fact is, none of those people are guaranteed to squander invest that money in any of the vacuous pet-project black-holes of sh** new projects that we are. So John Kerry government, Yes – Government, has the ability to be able to waste make a decision for you stupid rubes who lack the capacity that the private sector won't necessarily make today."
(I added emphasis and some minor edits)
So who is it that stands for individual freedom in this country? Who are the people that think YOU – not some jackass bureaucrat – can make a better decision on what you ought to do with YOUR money?
The fact of the matter is – I work very hard to make a living (the same cannot be said for John 'marry-a-millionaire-and-billionaire' Kerry), so I can freely invest my earnings in whatever I please. I don't need John Kerry to decide how best I should handle MY MONEY.
Note what even Kerry inadvertently points this out:
"They're [you are] free to go to invest anywhere that they [you] want, if they [you] choose to invest."
Personal financial freedom. We can't have that now, can we?

"Smallish d-man has the tools to become a power play specialist." -Red Line Report
The young Slovakian may be a perfect fit for Guy Boucher's 1-3-1 system. He's a good skater and loves to handle the puck and handles it well. Excellent puck rusher who also is fantastic puck distributor on the power play. For a small player, he makes good decisions in his own end and moves the puck out of danger decisively. He doesn't turn 18 until September, so he has plenty of time to grow up, and in an ideal world he might grow another one to two inches in height and put on another fifteen to twenty pounds.
He's very small and not physically able to compete in one-on-one battles, even though he tries hard. Positioning in his defensive third requires further refinement.
Because he's so young, the Lightning can take their time with Janosik. Ideally, he'd spend another couple of seasons with Gatineau getting bigger and stronger and developing his game. Red Line Report projects Janosik has a number seven defenseman and power play specialist with a skill set like Mark Streit.

A suicide bomber drove an explosive-laden car into the facilities of the Nigerian subsidiary of Bharti Airtel Ltd. of India at about 8am in the city of Kano, said Captain Iweha Ikedichi, who speaks for a special taskforce deployed in Kano to reduce the threat of the Islamic rebels known as Boko Haram.
The bombings blacked out a top operator's network in most of Nigeria's northern commercial hub.
The attack left an Airtel worker injured, authorities said. It also damaged a switch station, said James Eze, an Airtel spokesperson. He said the company was still assessing how bad the damage was, but declined to comment further.
Switch stations control the regional mobile phone network and if they are seriously damaged, the entire network could go down.
An Airtel staff who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to the press said the targeted switch station covered six northern states, including Kano.
But while Airtel's network appeared to be down across Kano Sunday, calls to lines in some of the other states went through.
At about the same time as the Airtel attack, another bomber targeted the facilities of the Nigerian subsidiary of South Africa-based MTN Group, about three kilometres away.
That attack was botched by security officers who shot the bomber, causing an explosion at the company's gate, Ikedichi said.
The target of the foiled attack was MTN's switch station, said Funmilayo Omogbenigun, spokesperson for Nigeria's largest cell phone network provider.
Authorities suspect the Boko Haram sect is behind the attacks. The group is held responsible for more than 770 deaths this year alone, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press (AP).
Boko Haram's campaign of bombings and shootings has targeted mosques, churches, schools, universities and government buildings.
But, four months ago, the group broadened its scope by attacking mobile phone towers for the first time.
In September, a series of attacks damaged more than 31 towers operated by all the major mobile phone providers in the country.
Other attacks have occurred since then, further straining the one link Nigeria relies on for communication in a country with very few landlines.
While no one claimed responsibility for the attacks, the Islamist sect had threatened mobile phone companies earlier in the year, warning that they would be targeted for cooperating with the government to flush out its members.
In Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with more than 160-million people, mobile phones serve as a valuable lifeline in both cities and rural communities.
Landlines remain almost nonexistent, as the state-run telephone company has collapsed and repeated efforts to privatize it have failed. More 87-million mobile phone lines were in use in 2009, according to estimates.
"Never would we have expected that telecommunications could be targeted," said Damien Udeh, a spokesperson for the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria. "It portends a dangerous situation for everybody, especially government." – Sapa.

The SW-MOTECH ALU-RACK is a clean looking, stand-alone base system that allows Quick-Release fitment of TraX, Givi and other Topcases, SW-MOTECH luggage racks, or SW-MOTECH Bags-Connection Quick-Lock Tankbags to keep your motorcycle as versatile as you are.
The SW-MOTECH ALU-RACK: What You Need To Know
ALU-RACK Topracks are a sturdy and elegant solution for mounting your topcase. Constructed from high-strength, lightweight aluminum for durability, they are bike-specific and shaped to accentuate the lines of your motorcycle. Three mounting points for Quick-Lock fasteners in the center of the ALU-RACK allow attachment of removable adapters to fit most Topcases, an SW-MOTECH Quick-Release Soft Luggage Carrier, or an SW-MOTECH ALU-RACK QUICK-LOCK Tankring for fitting flat-bottom SW-MOTECH Bags-Connection Tankbags such as the QUICK-LOCK EVO Sport Tankbag or the QUICK-LOCK EVO Daypack Tankbag.
Adapter plates are available to fit the following Topcases
- Givi Monolock
- Givi Monokey
- TraX ALU-BOX
- Pelican
- DrySpec
- Shad SH26, SH29, SH32, SH33, SH37, SH40, SH42, SH45 & SH46 (not SH48, SH49 or SH50)
- Kappa
- Hepco-Becker
- Coocase
Silver03, an FZ1 Owners Association member, said:
Is it a lot of luggage for running around town? Yes. Does it strip down to a set of rails? Yes! Once everything is set up, it takes less than 5 minutes to go from bare bike to all racks and bags in place. It takes a lot less than 5 minutes. But if I told you that, you wouldn't believe me!
Adam Powell, an FZ1 owner, wrote to us on April 11, 2005:
I just wanted to let you know that I received the Alu-Rack and Quick-Lock sideracks and it all went together really easily - a really well made product! I look forward to getting years of use out of them. Thanks for the excellent service and super fast delivery. Thanks again!
Larry Kloker, owner of a 2002 Blue FZ1, wrote to us on April 26, 2005:
The SW-MOTECH Alu-rack just came in and I got it installed. I experienced no problems at all with the rail holes lining up. It all fit perfectly. Never thought I'd be sayin' this to a guy, but "Nice Rack!"
Installation notes from Twisted Throttle (March 30, 2005):
We've installed this product on the FZ1 several times in our shop, and we've found that there are a few tricks to easily installing the product on your first try. Not following the steps below may result in mistakenly concluding that the product doesn't fit properly.
First, it's important to point out that the holes drilled in the left and right Alu-Rack support rails are not symmetrical. Don't worry! This is intentional and necessary to fit the bike properly.
Second, before attempting to install the Alu-Rack, loosen all screws holding the rear plastic fairing to the frame of the motorcycle. This will allow you to shift the fairing a bit if necessary during installation.
Third, install the Alu-Rack. Once all screws are loosely in place, tighten each a little at a time until all screws are tight. Don't fully tighten each screw one-by-one, as this may shift the alu-rack out of its normal flat position. Instead, tighten all screws a few turns at a time until all are tight. Use of medium-strength liquid threadlocker is recommended.
Fourth, re-tighten each of the screws holding the rear plastic fairing to the frame of the motorcycle. Don't fully tighten each screw one-by-one, as this may shift the fairing out of place. Instead, tighten all screws a few turns at a time until all are tight.
If you follow these steps for installation and the Alu-Rack still doesn't appear to fit correctly, please give us a call!
- The Twisted Toprack Torquer
The Alu-Rack positions larger Givi topcases so that a portion of the topcase's front edge may be approximately 1 inch further forward than the rear edge of the passenger seat. We do not recommend use of an add-on passenger backrest when using Givi topcases on this rear rack, as a backrest may further reduce passenger clearance.

Toreros vs. Pepperdine
Thursday: 8:30 p.m.
On the air: BYUtv; 1090-AM
Records: USD is 14-17; Pepperdine is 12-17.
Series: Pepperdine leads 56-39, but USD has won the last five.
Toreros outlook: The common refrain among players this time of year is, "It's win or go home." Translated: March Madness has begun. The matchup would seem to favor USD. The Toreros swept the regular-season series, plus defeated the Waves just five days ago, 76-69 at home. The win snapped a five-game losing streak. The game, though, was a nip-and-tuck affair with 14 lead changes and 10 ties. Coach Bill Grier started a three-guard lineup with senior Cameron Miles joining Johnny Dee and Christopher Anderson. All five USD starters scored in double figures, a first this season. The Toreros must defend better from the perimeter. The Waves were 8 of 17 on 3-pointers. For most of the season, Dee was the only player scoring in double figures. But in the last five games, Ken Rancifer (13.4), Dee (12.2) and Chris Manresa (11.2) have scored in double figures. If the Toreros win they'll face BYU on Friday in the quarterfinals.
Waves outlook: At 6-2, 205 pounds, point guard Lorne Jackson is a tough matchup for the 5-7, 140-pound Anderson. Jackson scored a game-high 22 on Saturday. Pepperdine freshman Stacy Davis (6-6, 235) was named the WCC's Newcomer of the Year. He led all WCC freshmen in scoring (11.0) and rebounding (7.1). "He's a man-child in there," said Grier. "I shook hands with him and he about broke mine. He's a load." USD and Pepperdine have met in six of the last eight WCC Tournaments with the Toreros holding a 5-1 edge.

The days of the sedentary, egg-centric and horsemeat-and-havarti sandwiches are behind me, as now I exercise regularly, eat a lot more of these "vegetables" I've been hearing so much about and begin my day with a regular dose of Vytorin.
Unlike most people who enjoy the music of Jimmy Buffett and have been to Austin, Texas, I try to avoid taking drugs on a regular basis.
This is not due to any sort of thoughtfully conceived opposition to self-medication, which anyone who sold cases of Natural Light at Indiana University between the years of 1993 and 1997 will attest to. Nor is it a function of any religious belief, overriding lifestyle directive or promise I made to any civic organizations in high school.
It's just that if I can help it, I try not to. Also, my insurance apparently doesn't pay for them unless I become a 65-year-old woman within the next calendar year.
Which is why I saw the diagnosis that I needed to begin taking regular cholesterol medication as a minor personal defeat. It's also the most direct reminder to date that there is an age where your body begins breaking down, and it's apparently 31 1/2.
Now, high cholesterol runs in my family, and by "runs" I mean "inches along sadly while stopping every few feet for a cigarette." And prior to my high-cholesterol diagnosis, I had never been one to exercise regularly nor monitor my food intake, having been blessed with both a naturally speedy demeanor and a metabolism that I believe could completely process the consumption of an entire horse in about six or seven hours.
Not that I ever put that to the test, mind you. Because it is WAY harder to get horsemeat around here than you think (though thanks to the Internet, not impossible, and let me send my thanks once again to the neighborly and accommodating farmers of Peru).
But the days of the sedentary, egg-centric and horsemeat-and-havarti sandwiches are behind me, as now I exercise regularly, eat a lot more of these "vegetables" I've been hearing so much about and begin my day with a regular dose of Vytorin.
Vytorin is a medication I believed responsible for cutting my various personal cholesterol stats in half, until I discovered this week that it actually doesn't work, unless it does, which it does for me, but it doesn't for others, according to four cardiologists, but not my doctor, but a lot of the national news media, except the percentage that says otherwise.
And people wonder why we all have such short attention spans around here. They should probably medicate that, too. Wait, they do already? Rock. Sign me up. (Under the name Doris, and if anyone asks, I was born in '43.)
According to the four newspapers still in existence, a panel of four cardiologists this week said doctors should sharply curtail their use of Vytorin and Zetia, as a study showed they didn't work any better than similar, less expensive drugs. (Note: It has been proven that people believe their drugs work better if they're expensive and marketed under a name that could theoretically also be applied to a Pitt/Jolie baby.)
The study also showed that ... um, actually you'll just have to Google this part, because as often happens when I get into the news portion of one of these ridiculous columns, the combination of multi-syllabic doctor-y sounding words and nefarious-sounding acronyms like "LDL" and "MRK" and "Baconator" makes my brain synapses do the Cupid Shuffle, especially given how much Natural Light I've already consumed tonight.
Frankly, I have a tough enough time following my doctor when she talks about this kind of stuff, and she has visual aids and an incomparable patience when dealing with a pinheaded writer-type who just wants his prescription and/or free toothbrush (still about the only thing that gets me to the dentist).
Oh sure, I put up a good show and smile and nod, but seriously, unless she starts using puppet theater or maybe a parody song based on the "William Tell Overture," I'm gonna have jack of an idea what she's talking about. I do know, however, that when she first reviewed my initial cholesterol results, she expressed surprise that I wasn't 59 years old, and also dead.
But here's one thing about my doctor: She has a very intense opinion about Vytorin. She thinks it's good, and it brings my cholesterol numbers down to a level that doesn't cause her to keep shooting nervous glances to the P.A. in the room that she thinks I can't see.
This, of course, puts her in direct competition with The Media, which is available on The Internet, which is telling me something else entirely and which is never wrong, except the time it told me about how "Lost" is going to end and the time it said we're winning in Iraq.
So now I don't know who the hell to believe, and I have to rely on my own wits to figure out whether to keep taking this useless placebo/life-saving god-drug, which is not a good idea, as my wits regularly take me the wrong way down one-way streets.
I do know this: With Vytorin, the numbers on my heart-stat sheet are lower than they were before, and also I can consume Egg n' Cheese Croissan'wiches without hallucinating. So I think that's good.
I also think I miss the days when this wasn't a problem, and I could sit back with my high metabolism, my Natural Light and my bowl of fresh horsemeat and just relax.
Jeff Vrabel is a freelance writer who is totally kidding about the horsemeat thing, PETA people, and if you can use bloody billboards I can use irony, so relax. He can be reached at www.jeffvrabel.com.

If you have experience with an antivirus antimalware product (commercial or free) that can be run entirely from the command line I'd like you to speak up. I'm looking to find a program that I can call remotely using pstools. The program will scan for viruses or malware and save a log file of the results.
Any ideas?

Hollywood, Florida
January 27, 1941
Mrs. Virgil Wright
Alexandria, Ind.
# 2
This is Mon. Jan. 27th we are here in a trailer camp at Hollywood Fla. This card shows the picture of a lovely hotel on the ocean. We are near or behind it to the beach. We took the car and went to Miami and Coral Gables yesterday. If you think pictures flatter you are wrong. Wonder if your dad ever came here. It was lovely yesterday we want to spend to-day in the sunshine. We are near an airport you know they guard the ocean bank here. Large boats and a dog race track. Ha! Takes until about nine for the sun to get out some days. The water and sun in warm. Intend to put on Toots bathing suit to-day. Hope every one is as usual. Seems bad to think of the miles between. Think we will be home at least by Sun. or soon. (We are staying another day here) Love. Eva.
This postcard was address to my maternal great-grandmother, Edna Muriel (Pierce) Wright (1897-1968). I do not know who the sender was. Interestingly, she mentions my 2g-grandfather going to Florida.

Richard Scheller's rare African art heading to de Young
A rare collection of African art assembled over nearly 30 years by a leading Genentech biochemist will go on display at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park in late January, marking the first time the public has seen many of the carved forms and shapes.
The collection, "Embodiments: Masterworks of African Figurative Sculpture," was assembled by scientist Richard Scheller, who was taken by African art's "amazing forms," but fascinated when he began to learn what the sculptures represent.
"At first I was interested in the form and shapes," said Scheller, 60, who as executive vice president of research and early development at Genentech spends much of his time talking with scientists about medicines that will significantly impact the lives of patients. "Then I became extremely fascinated that people believed these carved forms were an idealized concept of what the ancestor would look like after entering the spirit world."
He added, "The carved forms didn't represent the ancestor; they became the ancestor. So not only were they extremely beautiful and interesting, but (my collecting) became a way of preserving these incredibly varied, diverse, and rich cultures."
He also appreciates the influence African art and objects have had on modern art and abstraction in Europe.
"There are many photos of Picasso in his studio where you see his collection of African and Oceanic art," Scheller said. "It's hard to deny the inspiration he took from African art."
The collection of 120 sculptures, which tell stories of community values and religious traditions, are drawn from sub-Saharan Africa and date from 400 years old up until 1950.
"They are from most of the countries of (sub-Saharan) Africa," Scheller said. "We have already given certain pieces to the de Young, and it is our intent that the pieces of the exhibition will be given to the de Young in the future."
Scheller, a professor at Stanford for 19 years before joining Genentech, is married to Susan McConnell, a Stanford biology professor and noted wildlife photographer. The two travel to Africa nearly every year.
Scheller said that he has used his molecular biology background to better understand the objects he collects.
"It's hard to tell what kind of wood was used in these objects," Scheller said. "Many were carved hundreds of years ago in the middle of what was then called the Belgian Congo. The works are all anonymous. Some folks who work for me took wood from the bottom of the objects and got the DNA. We weren't able to identify the precise species of tree, but we were able to identify relatives of the species of the tree that was used. So we got the closest relative in the existing plant database."
The DNA extraction and analysis process used by Genentech should one day help museums determine such things as the authenticity of the work.
Christina Hellmich, curator of the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas at the de Young, said that the Scheller collection will add to the museum's trove of African art drawn from exhibitions dating to as early as 1894.
"The Scheller exhibition and catalog will expand public understanding of the connections between representation and meaning in African art," Hellmich said. "And our presentation will be enriched by Richard's personal interest in scientific testing of and research on these artworks."
"Embodiments: Masterworks of African Figurative Sculpture," by Bay Area scientist Richard Scheller. On display from Jan. 31 through July 5, 2015. More information: http://deyoung.famsf.org/exhibitions/embodiments-masterworks-african-figurative-sculpture.

Health care reform spurs urgent care centers
HOUSTON – You may have noticed more and more freestanding emergency rooms popping up in the Houston area.
Well, you can soon expect to see many more.
With health care reform on the horizon, it is becoming an attractive and convenient option for families.
The spacious waiting room at the newest MedSpring location in Katy seems like a waste considering urgent care facilities like this one claim to slash those dreaded emergency room wait times.
"We know families are busy now and we know all of our time is very valuable," said MedSpring Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jon Belsher. "So we want to get you in and out as quickly as we can. Most of our visits are actually under 45 minutes."
Dr. Belsher isn't surprised to learn a recent study by Kaiser Health found urgent care centers around the country have doubled to more than 400 in the last four years.
Houston leads the trend with 41 "freestanding" emergency rooms.
Of their 14 locations, MedSpring has five in the Houston area, including River Oaks, Memorial, Kingwood and Sugar Land.
More are on the way with the timing coinciding with health care reform.
"Many times, a lot of the more attractive plans will have high deductibles if you will and accordingly, when a family has a high deductible plan, they're going to be looking for the most cost effective place to get their care,"Dr. Belsher added.
These facilities are not for conditions threatening "life and limb," but rather cuts and scrapes, broken bones and the like.
The costs are competitive, and sometimes even lower than traditional ERs.
"Our copays are a fraction of what a copay would be in an emergency room," Dr. Belsher explained. "What's great about a center like MedSpring is we do not charge a facility fee and that facility fee can be an extra cost to a family when they visit an emergency room."
As health care reform nears, MedSpring is taking the unique step of extending primary care to families, managing chronic conditions while also focusing on prevention and screening.

The last time we caught Sony Ericsson's Paris on the tubes it looked a little chunkier, but now the aesthetics have been immensley improved. For the proof, check out the image above. USEB has run a complete rundown of the expected specifications, so jump in for the best of what they found.
Along with what we have already heard, the cellphone will now carry an alleged QWERTY keypad with multifunction keys, a metal construction, sliding lens cover for the 5MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0, 3G capability, UIQ 3.3 touchscreen WQVGA display, Google Maps and Wayfinder 7.0 support, as well as the excellent Mobile Opera 9.5 web browser. If all that holds to be true, this looks to be shaping up very nicely indeed.
On a side note, the source, USEB, tends to be so accurate with their Sony Ericcson-related information/leaks, word has it they know about SE products before the R&D department does. Weird. [USEB]

I am facing a problem while configuring CAS with my application in local. The description is as below:
Presently we have an application ABC which is deployed on a server using Tomcat.This application authenticates using CAS. The production version is running well and we have no issues. But now I have to make some enhancements in the application and deploy it again.
I have setup the code using eclipse in my PC(WIN XP) and the war file is also ready. As I want to focus on my application only, I tried to reuse the authentication mechanism of CAS of production with my local version of application. I made the necessary changes in web.xml file of my application for CAS. When I run the application in local using http://localhost:8081/dev_abc.. then it successfully redirects to CAS. After entering the ID and password, it should return to my local application war and run the code. But it fails with the exception edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.CASAuthenticationExcept ion: Unable to validate ProxyTicketValidator and Handshake Exception.
After this I came to know that I should have my cacerts file in Java, updated with the server certificate. I exported the certificate file of CAS server as .cer file and tried the keytool command to include it in my cacerts. It was done fine as per the steps mentioned in different forums. But still it didnt work. I tried again doing the same but then keytool coomand failed with following display:
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin>keytool -import -file cas.domain.com.cer -alias cas_cert -keypass cas_cert -trustcacerts -keystore C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\
keytool usage:
-certreq [-v] [-alias <alias>] [-sigalg <sigalg>]
[-file <csr_file>] [-keypass <keypass>]
[-keystore <keystore>] [-storepass <storepass>]
[-storetype <storetype>] [-provider <provider_class_name>] ...
-delete [-v] -alias <alias>
[-keystore <keystore>] [-storepass <storepass>]
[-storetype <storetype>] [-provider <provider_class_name>] ...
---------------- and other keytool options..
Please help that what exactly needs to be done here and also advice if my approach to use existing CAS of production server is correct or I need to configure CAS too in my local tomcat..
I shall be highly obliged with any suggestions..
Regards.. Prashant

Domestic football is, across much of Europe, on its winter break over Christmastime.
But not only does England continue to stage matches, it does so at a frenetic pace! Premier League clubs, indeed, play four matches between 23 December and 2 January, with some doing 360 minutes' graft in as little as ten days!
The above picture was taken during late December 2009. It shows Santa Claus making magic happen with a football rather than on a sleigh, providing half-time entertainment during a match between West Ham United and Chelsea.
Hammers manager Gianfranco Zola was plotting the defeat of the team he dazzled for as a player between 1997 and 2003, and the little Italian was entrusting the help of former Blues midfielder Scott Parker. Meanwhile Chelsea's line-up included Frank Lampard and Joe Cole – both of whom moved to Stamford Bridge from Upton Park after graduating from West Ham's esteemed youth academy.
An Alessandro Diamanti penalty, moments before Father Christmas's ball-juggling began, put the hosts ahead, but Lampard equalised from the spot for Carlo Ancelotti's visitors. That's how it finished, meaning neither West Ham or Chelsea went home with the Christmas present they desired from that freezing day in East London.

Hey Cork there are no images?!?!?!
He's out (umpire correct) ..Maddons was OUT everything went well....
I haven't reminded you in awhile... you're an idiot.
Being in the home market we are forced to be subjected to the rail. If the game also carried on TBS MLB they are blacked out,
On a national broadcast it makes more sense, like an ESPN game there will be casual fans always tuning in who could care less about wither team. So they keep thier interest bye totally unrelated sports news.
Watching the Masters this weekend reminded me what a beautiful visual spectacle a baseball game could be with HDTV.
Too bad the advent of HDTV also coincided with the increased interest in sports by bullsh*t fantasy nonsense and gamblers who are the only ones who give a crap about 95% of that useless info they forcefeed us.
The least they could do is turn it all off when the pitcher goes into his windup and keep it off when a live play is occuring. Thats only maybe 30 mins a game.
Is that too much to ask for???
Make the rail go away. Also I never saw a perfect angle on the slide into 2nd, but one of them looked like his toe was on the bag before the tag was made. A tough call either way but Maddon had reason to question the call, especially given the way bad calls have been piling up against the Rays so far this year. Donny Doom doesn't seem to understand that sometimes the manager has a reason for being ejected and it can often fire up his team.
The only reason Maddon gets ejected is because he can't stand the Heat,
If he loses that game being ahead late in the Game He's an Idiot again, but IF he's ejected..Its well I wasn't there so I'm really not sure what happened in the 9th..I'll have to review the tapes...otherwise just chickensh*t stuff..Wonder if HE called the Umpire AFTER it was shown to everyone in the World his player was out and he made a fool of himself and tried to make the umpire look the bad guy...You apologized right Maddon?.....any bets?
You cant actually believe the garbage you post. Seriously?

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" – Matthew 6:12
I've been attending church since I was a child. I have never once in my life heard a man pray these words in the assembly. I have, on occasion, heard somebody repeat these words out of mere repetition (Jesus spoke against this in verse 7 just before giving this example prayer). But, I have never heard anybody willingly offer these words up to God in prayer. Why? If I we are honest, most of us will freely admit that we do not want God to forgive us the way we forgive others.
Forgiveness is one of the most difficult traits to grow as a child of God. In contrast, unforgiveness is one of the easiest (and certainly most common) sins that children of God commit. Our flesh constantly wars against our spiritual man. The old man is, by nature, unforgiving.
Peter once asked Jesus, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" (Matthew 18:21). Jesus answered this by saying, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven" (Matthew 18:22). If we are honest, Peter actually gave more leeway than most of us would. I mean, seven times is a lot to forgive somebody for wronging you, right? This wasn't one of Peter's dark moments. By human standards, he was actually going further than most. However, Jesus' answer was shocking to both Peter and us.
There is no time in this short article to go into the parable that followed. But, suffice it to say, there was a servant who was forgiven a debt that was more than he ever could repay. Then, that servant went out and demanded a very reasonable debt from one of his servants. When his servant begged for mercy and time, he refused and threw him in prison. Simply, this parable represents the children of God when we are unforgiving.
The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to tell the church at Ephesus, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). Clearly, we are to forgive as God has forgiven us. When somebody wrongs us, we should quickly remember how we have wronged God. In contrast to the wicked servant in the parable, the memory of the forgiveness of our great debt of sins should enable us to forgive others in a similar manner.
Children of God, can you not remember the effects of God forgiving you of your sins? Do you not remember the gratitude and joy that flowed from your heart? Most certainly, you do remember that. In fact, you most likely thank God for this regularly. Our mission in this world is to show people the love of Jesus Christ in our lives. What better way to show the love of God than to forgive others when they least deserve it? Lord, help us to forgive as You have forgiven us!!

The Human Side of Israel
Israel is the world's happiest country.
So writes a journalist named Spengler in a recent edition of the "Asia Times".
This is based on a comparison between the fertility rate of 35 industrial countries and their suicide rate. Israel is at the top of the list with the highest fertility rate and virtually the lowest suicide rate.
Just to give an idea of how much Israelis value life more than others the chart in this article reports that the US has a suicide rate of 11 per 100,000 people and Russia 34.3 while Israel's rate is a mere 6.2.
As regards fertility Israel's rate is the highest, twice as much as that of Russia and most European countries.
The author's conclusion is that Israel has a love of life and is therefore the world's happiest country.

A Florida couple likes skunks so much that they have adopted 15 of the stink-spraying animals, which share their home.
Don and Brenda Hoch, of Hudson, Fla., got their first skunk, named Spike, from a pet store. They liked him so much that they now take in foster skunks from Florida Skunk Rescue. They're up to 15 now.
"A lot of our rescues are skunks that needed someone to work with them because they were neglected in the home they came from and consequently became biters," Brenda Hoch said. "We've worked with them and have gotten them to become friendly again."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
But the Hochs don't have to keep gallons of tomato juice handy: The skunks they've taken in have all had their stinkbags removed.
