Well, this is what it's all about folks. The amount of quotes in this video is ridiculous but I'm going to start with them anyways:
"We are in the dawn of 1 on 1 marketing. As we all go Jetsons, the action is like the Flintstones."
"More and more of you are treating social like a one night stand, you're like 19 year old dudes trying to close the first transaction…when you sh0uld be trying to put a ring on it."
"For the first time ever, marketing is not push, it's pull…it's a cocktail party, not a presentation."
"Customer service on social media is playing defense, we need a thank you department that plays offense."
"Today our engagements and actions are being spread and everyday our consumer base is getting more and more into that ecosystem."
I think this watching this should be extra points on the final for everyone. Gary Vaynerchuk is so straight-forward, so brutally honest, and so intelligent that if you have any interest in ANYTHING, this video will keep your ass glued to the chair. He doesn't make any grandiose insights or astounding data digs but rather takes a step back and looks at the big picture. Never have such simple truths about the human nature of sharing been so difficult to put a finger on. We are living in a massive culture shift that requires companies transform from a non-human to a human element. As technology advances, social interaction is regressing to the days of small town rules.
So create a context that replicates this small town. Leave your doors open, know your customers' likes and dislikes. Dunbar's number is fucked. The amount of constant contact you keep with other humans is scaling at an exponential rate. And the amount of contact you have with brands is doing the same. Business will have to permanently change the way they play the game. Social media can't solve problems that stem from bad business."If you're feeding children shit that's going to make them sick, then you deserve to lose."
Please just watch this. We're all better for having done so.
Here's the book as well: The Thank You Economy

Brad Pitt had reservations about playing a domineering dad in Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," which premiered Monday at the Cannes Film Festival.
But Pitt had no hesitation joking that he does not spare the rod in raising his six children with Angelina Jolie.

U.S. & World
"I beat my kids regularly. That seems to do the trick," Pitt wisecracked when asked at a press conference about his own parenting style. "And deprive them of meals."
Pitt, 47, stars with Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain in Malick's sweeping family drama, whose scope is so expansive it includes images of the birth of creation and the age of dinosaurs.

Against that cosmic backdrop, Malick presents the troubled life of a family headed by a saintly mom (Chastain) and an alternately tender and cruel dad (Pitt), whose reign over his three sons leaves them disturbed and even hostile toward their father.
Penn plays the oldest son as he reflects back on his boyhood in the 1950s.
"I was a little hesitant about playing the oppressive father, but I felt like the story was so important, and for me, it was really about the kid's journey," said Pitt, also a producer on "The Tree of Life," which debuts in U.S. theaters May 27.

Pitt said he prefers to take on projects with emotional heft rather than blockbuster fare such as "Mission: Impossible," though he's not averse to a big Hollywood action flick.
"Don't count me out of 'Mission: Impossible,'" Pitt said. "I'll be there. I'm not that highbrow."

But when he considers his favorite films, they tend not to be commercial movies but ones with depth, "or really, really funny. I do like a comedy," he said.
Pitt has wondered what his children will think about the autocratic figure he plays in "The Tree of Life."
"My kids are going to see it when they grow up, and how are they going to feel?" Pitt said. "They know me as a dad, and I hope they'll just think I'm a pretty damn good actor."

Sunday, March 12–14, 2011 • Off-campus Events
During his recent visit to the Greater Chicago area, our Dean, Archpriest John Behr, focused on theological controversies, old and new. He consistently challenged his varied audiences to find personal identity, communal unity, and spiritual growth in and through Christ alone, drawing on themes associated with the Church's Feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, which highlighted the weekend.
On Saturday, March 12, Fr. John offered a public presentation on the meaning of icons at St. Joseph Church [2], Wheaton, Illinois, where Fr. John Matusiak is rector. The following morning, he preached at the Divine Liturgy and afterward met informally with area college students and young adults.
On Sunday evening, he was the guest homilist for the "Triumph of Orthodoxy" Vespers, held at St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church [3], Cicero, Illinois, where Fr. Nicholas Dahdal is rector. The evening was hosted by the Orthodox Christian Clergy Association of Great Chicago (OCCA). In his homily, Fr. John spoke about the ecclesial disunity among Orthodox Christians in North America and challenged the congregation to be "in a very concrete and material way—one."
"Only if we realize that our identity does not lie in whatever identities we create in this world or have foisted upon us by the circumstances of our birth, education, and society, but rather that our identity lies hidden with Christ in God, then, and only then, can we actually begin to find and manifest our unity together, here and now, as the one body of Christ," he stated. "This, it is clear, is our challenge today, our own 'Christological controversy'—how to be his body in an organized manner, as every body must be—and it is as every bit as momentous as the controversies of old. To accomplish this requires that we accompany Christ to his Passion,that we—just like the prophets in their suffering, and like the martyrs in theirs—become images, icons, of Christ. This and nothing else is our task: that we conform ourselves to Christ." (Read Fr. John's complete homily here [4].)
On Monday, March 14, Fr. John concluded his visit by acting as retreat master for the OCCA's annual clergy retreat at New Gracanica Serbian Orthodox Monastery [5], Third Lake, Illinois. He spoke on three topics: "Through the Cross," "For This We Were Created," and "Glorify God in Your Body."

Captain Becker, what can you learn in a cockpit simulator?
Captain Becker, you don't even have to be a pilot to use the cockpit simulators at the Lufthansa Flight Training Center in Frankfurt. What makes them special?
What's unique is that you are using the same simulators that Lufthansa professionals use. Pilots regularly hone their skills to a very high level in these simulators – be it as preparation for taking the helm of an Airbus A380 or a Boeing 747. In collaboration with ProFlight, Lufthansa also offers "adventure flights" for anyone who's interested.
What technical equipment is required?
We have simulators for every aircraft type, and each costs several million euros. Their elaborate engineering creates a realistic impression – you really think you are sitting in an actual cockpit. Even the aircraft's movements are simulated with deceptive realism: banking, braking, accelerating for takeoff.
What's an adventure flight like?
These recreational flights are not like training flights at all because the person at the helm lacks the expertise to fly professionally. But they do give you an idea of how it feels to steer a giant jet. Some get a little hot under the collar, but there's always an expert on hand to stop the simulator if things look risky.
Is there anything a pilot cannot learn in a simulator?
Cockpit simulators prepare pilots for situations that we hope will arise only rarely. Landing on snow-covered runways, engine failure, touch-and-go maneuvers. In a simulator, you only get an inkling of the actual physical and mental strain involved.

VICTORIA — On a day when Premier Christy Clark acquired her latest director of communications, some documents surfaced regarding the departure of the previous occupant of that transitory posting.
The date was Oct. 15 and Clark's new chief of staff, Dan Doyle, dispatched a letter to Sara MacIntyre advising that her brief stint in the premier's office was at an end.
"Further to our conversation this morning," he wrote, "this letter will confirm your reassignment effective immediately."
After seven months as Clark's director of communications, the former press secretary to Prime Minister Stephen Harper was dispatched to the general office for government communications and public engagement or GCPE
Sounding blindsided and bereft, MacIntyre wanted to know more. Her reaction is set out in a series of emails obtained by the New Democratic Party Opposition under access-to-information legislation and made public this week.
"I would like to request some sort of written job description with duties and obligations, reporting structure and terms of employment as well," wrote MacIntyre in an email to Lynda Tarras, the head of the government personnel agency.
"You will report to Athana Mentzelopoulos," Tarras replied, referencing the head of GCPE. "The terms and conditions of your employment remain unchanged. Athana will provide you with the specifics of your duties and accountabilities when you report in the morning."
MacIntyre was not placated. "Respectfully Lynda," she wrote back late on the 15th, "before I make any decisions I would like to see — in writing — a job description." Clearly shaken by the day's events, she added: "Do I have any vacation time?" She raised other concerns too, but those were blanked from the release on grounds of personal privacy.
Tarras, via return email, tried to reassure her. "I'm sure you have vacation coming to you," she wrote shortly after 10 p.m. "Good night and I will be in touch as early as I can tomorrow."
Next day the head of personnel confirmed that MacIntyre was indeed in line for time off. "This assumes that you remain in our employ for the remainder of the year because, if you were to resign, the balance would need to be prorated." She faxed along other details, presumably including the job description.
But by the 17th, MacIntyre had other anxieties. "If I stay in this job, what happens to me during the writ?"
The reference is to the writ, formally dissolving the legislature for the final 28 days leading up to the election. Political appointees like MacIntyre are sometimes expected to take a leave of absence and work for the governing party during the writ period. Though not invariably, as Tarras went on to observe.
"Nothing happens during the writ period unless you were to take leave," she wrote back on the evening of Oct. 17. "You would continue to be paid."
MacIntyre had raised a second question, posed as a fragment: "And if the Liberals what happens for me financially?" Tarras: "I don't understand ... And if the Liberals what?" MacIntyre: "If the Liberals lose and my (cabinet appointment) is rescinded, what am I paid?"
Tarras: "I can only offer a general and hypothetical response. When a (cabinet order) is rescinded and an employment relationship is severed without cause — i.e. good record and no misconduct — then an appropriate notice or severance is offered. Of course this does not apply where an employee resigns or where there is any form of employee misconduct."
Armed with that information, MacIntyre, subsequently reported for duty to GCPE as a senior communications strategist.
Two ironies, worth noting.
First, the head of personnel was communicating with MacIntyre in writing. In handling the ouster of the premier's chief of staff Ken Boessenkool a month earlier, a process that took two weeks, Tarras handled the matter verbally and put nothing in writing. So said the government when my colleague Jonathan Fowlie filed an access to information request regarding the Boessenkool departure.
Second, given MacIntyre's expression of fear about the coming election, consider the words of Premier Clark when she hired her as director of communications. "There is no way that Sara MacIntyre would quit a press secretary job to the prime minister to come work for me unless there was every reason to believe we were going to win."
Onward to the next director of communications, as they say in the premier's office.
He's Ben Chin, an experienced journalist and consultant, who stepped through Clark's revolving door Monday.
Responsibilities, according to the job description: "Maintaining and enhancing the working relationship between the office of the premier and members of the legislative press gallery and other provincial media. Keeping the office of the premier apprised of emerging issues and events that are of potential interest to provincial media."
"Ensuring that all media availabilities, scrums and press conferences are conducted in an appropriate manner. Working with GCPE staff to ensure that all information that specifically relates to the office of the premier is coordinated and communicated in an appropriate manner. "
Wish him luck. Given the way things are going, he'll need it.

New Harmony, Indiana is home of one the state's oldest settlements and two of the nation's attempts at communal living. New Harmony, southwest of Evansville near the Illinois and Kentucky borders, offers rich historical tradition with a vibrant local flavor that gives the town a unique and intimate appeal.
Father George Rapp, a Lutheran separatist from Wurttemberg, Germany and his loyal followers, established New Harmony in 1814. During their ten-year stay in southern Indiana the Rappites flourished religiously, financially, and communally. However due to lack of availability to the eastern market, the Harmonist relocated to western Pennsylvania. The 30,000-acre property was then sold to an English socialist Robert Owen marking the town's second attempt at a communal utopia society. Owen attempted to create utopia through educational pursuits.
Of the 180 buildings constructed during this years, more than 70 remain today. A state-of-the art visitors center welcomes travelers.
Presently, New Harmony offers an ideal tourist destination located thirty miles southwest of Evansville, Indiana, on the banks of the Wabash river.
New Harmony is home to fine dinning, spacious lodging, wineries, and local events. The settlement offers a unique weekend trip and a look back at not only Indiana history, but also one of the more unique communal living experiments in United States history.

HTML5 App For Panasonic TVs Rejected - JQuery Is a "Hack"
An anonymous reader writes "I have been working on an HTML5 app for Panasonic VIERA TVs, specifically a client for the Plex Media Server. After paying $129 for the developer program, version 1.0 was submitted for inclusion in their VIERA Connect marketplace several weeks ago. After a few requested tweaks, they inquired about how the client communicated with the Plex Server. As many/most web developers do, I used jQuery and its $.ajax call (which is just a wrapper for XMLHttpRequest()). They insisted this was not standard Javascript, and after several communications with them, they replied back with "A workaround like this is considered a hack.". I'm stunned that anyone familiar with HTML would consider jQuery a hack. I've been patient in attempting to explain how jQuery works, but I am getting nowhere. Any thoughts on how I can better explain jQuery to an app reviewer? Yes, I know I can write my app without any Javascript library, but I am really hoping avoid that."

FAA is slowing innovation
There are all sorts of possibilities for using unmanned drone aircraft to make our lives better. No pun intended, but the sky's the limit.
Except in the United States.
Here, the Federal Aviation Administration has decreed that there is to be no use of drones for commercial purposes.
You can buy one of the small aircraft for your own personal use, perhaps to inspect the shingles on your roof. But if you set up a business to do the same thing elsewhere in your neighborhood, for a price, you may run afoul of the FAA.
Some people already have.
As The Associated Press reported, the Washington Nationals baseball team had used a drone to take publicity pictures of players on its spring training field in Florida. The little craft never left the confines of the field. Yet once the FAA became aware, the Nationals' drone was grounded.
In other countries, drones already are in commercial use. Some energy companies use them to inspect the undersides of offshore oil and gas drilling platforms.
But the FAA has not yet developed rules for commercial use of drones in the United States. Though drones have been around for years, it took action by Congress in 2012 to require the agency to develop the rules. They are to be phased in, perhaps beginning within a year.
Lots of ideas for use of drones, including delivery of everything from parcels to pizzas, have been suggested in the United States. But because the FAA has dragged its feet on developing rules for them, we lag behind other countries.
Americans used to be known as the world's top innovators. We invented things. We used and refined new technologies. We made lives better in the process. We were trail blazers, envied and emulated throughout the world.

Oh the eBay gods have been shining on me today! Finally managed to nab the Swedish Hasbeen x H&M shoes that I've been trying to resist buying. Some how the collection completely bypassed me and when I found out about it the red ones, the ones I liked the most were pretty much sold out! They are now going for over inflated prices on eBay. I hate it when people buy up all the nice/must have things then put them on eBay purely to make a profit, makes me sad for the people who really want things! Anyway I paid just over £40 for them which I think is reasonable considering they were £39.99 originally, I caught a lucky break for a change! I dont really like bidding sites, I always get carried away and bid too much!
Tomorrow I'm going to Manchester to meet Victoria, its been so long since we last spent time together we decided to just go for it and meet half way! Should be fun, apart from I hate getting trains and I know already that something stupid like the air con will break (its meant to be super hot tomorrow!) or I'll be sitting next to a smelly person. If you follow me on Twitter & remember last Fridays train troubles/lulz, you will know my luck with such things!

City committee OKs lighting plan for bike trail
Alderman says lights are needed for safety
MADISON, Wis. — A city committee is moving forward with a lighting plan on a commuter artery for bikers, but some neighbors are still opposed to the plan.
The full Madison Common Council on Tuesday night will take up the lighting plan for the southwest commuter bike trail, running from Breese Terrace to the South Beltline Highway, following approval by the Pedestrian, Bicycle and Motor Vehicle Commission.
The proposal was first discussed last year at this time, when it was included in the mayor's capital budget. After some delays and work by the city, the lighting plan will now be up for a vote, much to the chagrin of some neighbors.
The path sees more than 2,000 commuters a day during peak times of the year, but it turns into a road less taken once nightfall arrives, which is why Alderman Brian Solomon has been working to get lights along the trail.
"The people that I've talked to are terrified about biking on it at night," said Solomon. "I do think it's absolutely a safety issue for people who want to bike."
Solomon and the city argue that lighting is needed for more people to use the trail. After a year of discussion, two test lights were installed to give concerned homeowners whose back yards back up to the path an idea of what it would be like.
"It's still quite bright when you're walking on it," said Sandy Stark, who lives along the path. "Matter of fact, I walk on it less in the area with the test lights than I walked on it before in pitch dark with a flashlight because it is really difficult on the eyes."
Stark and some of her neighbors have argued they understand the need for light but feel this design isn't the right one.
"Get some grants, get some greenspace ideas, get a landscape architect in there," Stark said. "Don't make it all uniform and like a road to the airport."
The city Pedestrian, Bicycle and Motor Vehicle Commission disagreed with many neighbors Monday night, giving the plan the green light to go to the full council.
"I think a few years from now people, will look back and say, 'I can't believe we ever argued about this,'" said Solomon.City committee OKs lighting plan for bike trail
The Madison Common Council will take this plan up at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The lighting would cost between $250,000 to $300,000, with the money included in the city's capital budget.
While some neighbors still want that lighting design changed, city staff argued Monday night that they have changed the design multiple times. They claim the lighting some neighbors would prefer would be cost-prohibitive, require more light posts and ultimately more maintenance than the city could handle.
Neighbors said they simply want to preserve the quality of life along the path.

But for all the hype that surrounds the 30-second spots, and for all of the money the companies paid to have them air (a whopping $2.6 million this year) some commercials didn't even seem to be trying. Whether they simply neglected to mention what the product they were selling did, looked like they were produced for cable access television, or featured some of the most hilariously bad acting we've seen since 7th grade sex education, all five of these ads made us wonder exactly what the companies were trying to accomplish. CRACKED presents the five worst ads that $2.6 million could buy this year.

Flying insects and wasps are often one of the biggest pest problems for Boston home owners. The hazards associated with flying insect and wasp nest removal make them a concern when found. Wasps construct their nests on the outside of residences, in attic rooms, on shrubs, plants, sheds, playscapes or even in the ground.
The climate in the Boston region make it advantageous for their populaces to prosper and continue to be present through most of the year. Treatment and elimination of these nests is normally advised to be done by an expert due to the dangers of disrupting the hive.
One of our accredited inspectors will review the kind of stinging pests around your home and yard. Due to the broad range of pests in the Boston region, capturing a sample and bringing it back to our center might be required. This will certainly permit us to develop a strategy for the residence and lawn.
A skilled flying insect and wasp specialist will certainly carry out the initial therapy with a range of products and the appropriate safety tools to do away with, and get rid of if required, all of the nests. A maintenance program will permit frequent procedures of brand-new nests that are launching, hence having consistent coverage.

Blue Bird Barry is rigged and ready for any 3D Suite that has the ability to import FBX files!
We chose FBX as our main form of distributing this model because of the ease of use. Instead of making it for one program such as Maya or 3D Studio Max this model can now be used in Lightwave, Modo, Blender, and any other program that supports FBX import.
This saves us time because we don't have to rig for each program, and it saves you time as well, because you don't have to figure out how to use a different 3D package just to use our model. It is a win/win situation all the way around.
Comes with 2 basic user guides for 3D Studio Max and Autodesk Maya. These guides are very basic and are aimed at the user who has never imported an FBX character before and has no idea how blend shapes and morphs work or where to find them.

"Sometimes miraculous films come into being, made by people you've never heard of, starring unknown faces, blindsiding you with creative genius," Roger Ebert writes in his review of Beasts of the Southern Wild. The Cannes and Sundance award-winning film is so original and compelling that critics can't quite figure out where it came from. It didn't materialize from thin air, of course. The collaborative filmmaking group behind Beasts, Court 13, spent years in Louisiana scraping together a low-budget production and cast of nonprofessional actors, with spectacular results (see this Creators Project documentary for details about the making of the movie).
But before Beasts, the same team produced a 25-minute short in 2008. Also directed by Benh Zeitlin, Glory at Sea features a similar coastal apocalypse and magical realism as the indie feature. Beasts gets its heart from the father-daughter story adapted from Lucy Alibar's one-act play Juicy and Delicious, but the themes of survival and redemption in storm-ravaged coastal Louisiana already appear here. If you liked Beasts, you'll enjoy watching the genesis of the feature film in this short, and if you haven't seen it, Glory at Sea might just convince you to check it out.

Mossie Tactics Troy Front Sight Midnight Mount
Brad Walker
Mossie Tactics was showing one of their new and innovative Mossie Midnight Mounts, the MT2400TRN, at SHOT Show last week. The mount essentially replaces the Troy Rail nut that holds the sight in place, and turns your Troy Front Sight into an integrated light mount that will accommodate most popular pistol lights such as the Surefire X300, X400 and the Streamlight TLR series, just to name a few.
The mount drops the light well below the front sight's line-of-sight as not to interfere with the user's sight picture, and does not alter the host weapon whatsoever. It's constructed from the same lightweight and durable 6061 T1 aluminum that you expect from Mossie Mounts, and is Type III Hard Anodized. It uses the same ergonomics that you're used to in a Mossie Mount. The steps to action the light are the same as if you were using your thumb to manipulate the switch on a pistol light. This will allow users a seamless transition between operation of their pistol and rifle weapon lights.
The mount arrives with a custom screw that is needed to complete the installation that replaces the standard Troy sight screw, and only takes minutes to install. Just remove the Troy screw and nut, replace with the Mossie MT2400TRN and supplied screw, dab a little Blue Loctite on the screw for added security, install your favorite light and go to work.
The MT2400TRN retails for $74.99 and is available now in the Battlecomp store.
You can find out more details about the Mossie Midnight MT2400TRN Mount and purchasing info over at Battlecomp's website at www.battlecomp.com.

There's just no denying it, Edwin Georgi had a talent for illustrating women.
Recently, a TI list member requested a look at some Edwin Georgi artwork. I was only to happy to comply. Georgi's delicious damsels have long been a favourite of mine.
He must have been a favourite of Cosmopolitan magazine's art director as well. Robert C. Atherton commissioned all of these pieces from Georgi - and many more - during his tenure at the magazine. In fact, had speed dial existed back in the day, I'm sure Edwin Georgi's studio number would have been on every major magazine art director's list, especially when the job called for the depiction of a lovely gal or two.
The good folks at The Society of Illustrators are actively seeking out the estate of Edwin Georgi at this time. Its my hope that some Georgi family member or friend will stumble across this week's posts and get in touch. Its certainly happened plenty of times before with other illustrators we've showcased here. If you're reading this and can help locate the Georgi family, drop me a line.

I can wax obsessively about this man's work until the cows come home. As stunning as a Georgi woman is, it's the colors that adorn them and their world that leave my eyes glistening with awe.ReplyDelete
I hope you and the Society get hold of someone from Georgi's estate. Can't wait to see more!
Fabolous art indeed, thanks for sharing Leif!ReplyDelete

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood sharply criticized an anticipated U.N. document on combatting violence against women, saying on Wednesday that it was "deceitful," clashed with Islamic principles and undermined family values.
The text of the document has not been published because negotiations are continuing, regarding how to address sexual violence and rights of women to control their sexuality as well as sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Diplomats and observers tracking the debate are optimistic of agreement before the two-week meeting of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women wraps up Friday in New York. One participant said Egypt is seeking to introduce an opt-out clause to allow each country to implement the document according to its own traditions.
According to the Brotherhood, which has emerged as the most powerful political faction in Egypt since the 2011 uprising, the draft under discussion advocates sexual freedoms for women and the right to abortion "under the guise of sexual and reproductive rights."
In its strongly worded statement, the Brotherhood also decried the document's defense of homosexual rights, which are not recognized in Islam, and the equating between children born in and out of wedlock.
It said the title of the document addressing violence is "deceitful."
"It contains articles that clash with Islamic principles and its basics mentioned in the Quran (Islam's holy book) and in Islamic traditions," the Brotherhood statement said. "It eliminates Islamic values, and seeks to destroy the family ... which would lead to social disintegration."
The Brotherhood, which won Egypt's presidency and controls parliament, called on other Muslim nations, women's groups and Islamic organizations to reject the document. It called it an infringement on the thought, culture and uniqueness of Islamic societies.
The Brotherhood urged women's rights groups not to be "lured by phony calls for civilized behavior and by misleading and destructive processes."
Libya's top cleric also raised similar concerns, rejecting the document for violating Islamic teachings.
The head of the U.N. women's agency, Michelle Bachelet, said she hoped the meeting would produce a document that becomes a tool to improve the fight against violence against women.
When the commission took up the issue a decade ago, governments were unable to reach agreement. Differences over sex education, a woman's right to reproductive health, and demands for an exception for traditional, cultural and religious practices stymied an accord.
The Brotherhood's statement appeared to reflect those persistent differences, saying that religious traditions and values are threatened by such a universal document.
Francoise Girard, executive director of the New York-based International Women's Health Coalition, a nonprofit organization which promotes the reproductive and sexual rights of women and young people, told The Associated Press she expected "strong" conclusions to the debate.
Girard said a range of issues in the text are still unresolved including several references to sexual violence, the connection of violence against women and sexual and reproductive health and rights, and what governments need to do to prevent sexual violence.
Girard said Egypt proposed an amendment last week saying that each country is sovereign and can implement the document in accordance with its own laws and customs, a provision strongly opposed by many countries in Europe, Latin America and Asia.
"Definitely this needs to be removed because we came here to reach an agreement that expresses an unequivocal commitment to act and to end violence against women and girls," Girard said. "This amendment would show less than full commitment to take action."
Discussions of women's issues in Egypt, and in the Muslim world at large, are traditionally buried in debates over Islamic laws and whether their interpretations are compatible with demands for more personal freedoms.
With the rise of Islamic fundamentalist groups to power in the region following the past two years of protests against autocratic rulers, many women rights groups fear a regression in women's freedoms with a stricter interpretation of Islamic laws.
Already, Egypt's speech at the opening of the commission meeting has set off a storm in the women's rights community.
The speech was delivered on March 4 by Pakinam el-Sharqawi, an aide to President Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood. In her speech, el-Sharqawi praised Egypt's new constitution as protective of women's rights, to the dismay of members of the delegation who have been sharply critical of the charter.
Her speech caused some in the delegation to walk out.
Leading women's rights activist Nehad Abu el-Qumsan called it "shocking."
Opposition activists say Egypt's new charter has an Islamist slant, undermines women's rights and denies them equality while ignoring their political rights.
Rights groups also worry that the new charter has granted religious authorities the right to review laws to ensure they are in line with Islamic laws, which they say may further undermine their rights.
Violence against women has also been on the rise in Egypt, particularly during political protests. Some suspect the attacks are an organized campaign to curb women's participation in public life after they played an integral role during the protests against former autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak.
The issue has been a source of contention between the Islamist-led government and opposition activists, who accuse authorities of not doing enough to address the issue.
In her speech, el-Sharqawi said violence against women should be combatted based on "balance between the values shared by humanity, and the cultural and social particularities of countries and peoples."
Associated Press writer Edith M. Lederer contributed from the United Nations.

Your Orthodontic Options: Types of Braces
|Learn about some of the many types of braces available to today's orthodontics patients.
When it comes to orthodontic treatment, today's patients have an increasingly wide range of options available to them. Each type of braces offers different benefits: the key is to work with your dentist and orthodontist to determine which type of braces will be best the best fit for your unique needs and goals. Read on to learn about the most common types of braces available to you.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are very durable because they are made from metal, and this makes them a good option for younger or more active patients. While some patients, especially adults, may balk at the way metal braces will affect their appearance, many kids and teens look at wearing braces as a kind of rite of passage and aren't bothered by the look of metal braces because a number of their friends are likely wearing them, too. In addition to being highly durable, traditional metal braces are often the most affordable way to straighten a patient's smile.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are an excellent option for patients who hesitate to invest in orthodontic treatment because they are concerned with the way braces look. Ceramic braces are made in a number of shades, so they can be customized to closely match the color of a patient's teeth and this makes them less noticeable. Some orthodontists even offer ceramic braces that are totally translucent. Because they are made of ceramic, this type of braces can be brittle and prone to damage, so they may not be a good option for patients who participate in sports or other activities that may cause dental trauma.
Lingual Braces
While traditional metal and ceramic braces are applied to the front of the teeth, lingual braces are virtually undetectable because they reside on the inner surfaces of the teeth. While lingual braces are highly effective, an orthodontist needs specialized training to fit patients with this type of braces so they may be more expensive than metal or ceramic braces.
Invisalign® invisible braces are the ultimate orthodontic option for patients who have concerns about the way braces will make them look. With Invisalign®, patients wear a series of clear plastic aligners that help their teeth gradually shift positions. Invisalign® is virtually invisible, and many patients enjoy the convenience of Invisalign® because the aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning. Invisalign® is a fantastic option for patients with mild to moderate misalignment, but is not well suited for patients who need more extreme adjustments.
Advances in the field of orthodontics have endowed our patients with many choices when it comes to straightening their smiles, so each patient is sure to find the right solution for them. If you would like to learn more about the types of braces offered in your area, schedule a consultation with your dentist. He or she will conduct a thorough examination and discuss factors such as your needs, timeline, and budget so that you can make an educated decision about which type of braces is right for you.

Forty-five veterans "stormed Capitol Hill" Thursday to focus lawmakers' attention on the 2013 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America policy agenda.
Men and women from 22 states, including Texas, traveled to Washington to meet with lawmakers and campaign their petition that calls on President Obama to end the backlog that keeps Veteran's from receiving benefits in a timely manner.
They didn't have to go far to find a friend in the Texas congressional delegation. Rep. Bill Flores, R-Bryan, stood with the veterans this morning during a press conference. Flores said he supports the mission of IAWA because he is frustrated with the current state of the VA.
"We in Congress need to redouble our efforts on this. Treating these young men and women the way we treat them is just not fair given the sacrifices they made for us," Flores said.
Flores' district includes the Waco Regional Veterans Affairs Office, which was rated as having one of the slowest response times in the country. Flores said the office has made some improvements, but still has a long way to go. Flores plans to meet with the offices every three to six months to ensure they keep making progress.
The support of leaders in Washington is reassuring for veterans like Jeff Hensley from Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. Hensley spent 21 years in the Navy and underwent a few combat deployments. He said his deployment during Operation Iraqi Freedom was particularly difficult, and he needed the VA to help him through the reintegration process.
"I got to the point where I felt like I needed some counseling and I went to the VA and the VA was not set up to handle the number of people that were looking for counseling," Hensley said.
Hensley was told he would have to wait over 100 days to receive the counseling he needed, which he said wasn't enough time.
"I needed help sooner than 120 days. My kids needed a father who was gonna be there and be strong," Hensley said, "I wasn't prepared to do that."
Hensley instead utilized the services of a nonprofit in Dallas, and has since received his masters degree in counseling and works with an equine program in nearby Wiley that serves veterans.
Hensley said the fact that the backlog has reached such extreme levels — nearly 900,000 pending claims — is the biggest failing of the VA. Hensley said veterans need holistic care, and if you are waiting on your claim, you are stuck in limbo.
"If you've got a disability claim pending, that's been pending for one year, two years, three years in some cases…you don't really know what's going to happen to you," Hensley said.
The number one priority of the IAVA 2013 policy agenda is ending the backlog. The group is calling on President Obama to appoint a presidential commission to end the backlog problem, and is asking for supporters to sign their petition.
The petition has gained over 34,000 signatures, including Flores and Rep. John Carter, R- Round Rock.
IAVA is already seeing successes coming from this year's storm the hill. Veteran Zack McIlwain of Indiana had been waiting over 900 days to resolve his claims. After an interview with CNN, his claim was resolved within 24 hours.
"They made one phone call and sure enough, this problem that's been going on for three years magically gets solved. There's a way to do it," Hensley said.

A court hearing in California has been postponed to next month for a former Las Vegas-area lawmaker jailed on felony charges following a freeway chase and violent struggle with police the same day he was expelled from the Nevada state Assembly.
A San Bernardino County district attorney spokesman said Tuesday that a judge in Barstow set a May 7 date for Steven Brooks to appear in court, and a May 9 date for a preliminary hearing.
Brooks' attorney in Nevada, Mitchell Posin, says the delay allows time to get Brooks into a court-ordered psychiatric counseling program.
Brooks pleaded not guilty a week ago to charges including resisting an officer, felony evading and assault on a police animal stemming from his March 28 arrest on Interstate 15 near Victorville.

Kid, are they in commercial nursery containers? In the bay area deciduous trees can be repotted any time after they go really dormant until they pop in the spring. For example, we repotted Japanese Maples in Hayward two weeks ago. But, you know what I am going to say next, get with BIB. Once you get on the mailing list, Boon sends out monthly emails with suggestions of work that can be done that month.
I would wait til the club meeting and let someone look at the soil to determine if they need to be repotted, or just slip potted. You could also ask about repotting them in pond baskets. I would never repot a future bonsai in a terra cotta pot, when something better is available. Larry
The terr cotta will work just fine for a few years.
Um, did you clean out all of the old soil and reduce the roots to get them growing correctly?

Tracing Wine's "Turkish" Roots
Do French merlots or German rieslings have Turkish ancestors? That's the intriguing proposition raised by a Swiss botanist, who, using DNA analysis, is arguing that many of the wine grapes used today in western Europe and other parts of the world descend from wild grape varieties domesticated by Stone Age farmers in what is now Turkey. Reports AFP:
Today Turkey is home to archaeological sites as well as vineyards of ancient grape varieties like Bogazkere and Okuzgozu, which drew the curiosity of the Swiss botanist and grape DNA sleuth Jose Vouillamoz, for the clues they may offer to the origin of European wine.
Together with the biomolecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern, Vouillamoz has spent nearly a decade studying the world's cultivated and wild vines.
"We wanted to collect samples from wild and cultivated grape vines from the Near East -- that means southeastern Anatolia, Armenia and Georgia -- to see in which place the wild grape was, genetically speaking, linked the closest to the cultivated variety."
"It turned out to be southeastern Anatolia," the Asian part of modern Turkey, said Vouillamoz, speaking at the EWBC wine conference in the Turkish city of Izmir this month. "We propose the hypothesis that it is most likely the first place of grape vine domestication."
McGovern's lab at the University of Pennsylvania Museum also provided archaeological evidence of wine's Anatolian roots after analysing residues of liquid recovered from vessels thousands of years old.
Author of "Uncorking the Past" and "Ancient Wine", McGovern used a sensitive chemical technique to look for significant amounts of tartaric acid -- for which grapes are the only source in the Middle East.
While Georgia, Armenia and Iran all played a role in ancient winemaking, preliminary evidence from pottery and even older clay mineral containers, seems to place the very first domestication of the wild Eurasian grape Vitis vinifera in southeastern Anatolia sometime between 5,000 and 8,500 BC, McGovern said.
While Vouillamoz may have science on his side, the botanist's research will likely only further cloud the picture of which country gets to call itself the "birthplace of wine." As reported in a previous post, Armenia -- home to what is considered to be the world's oldest winery, unearthed at a site that dates back some 5,500 years -- recently protested a European Union decision which grants Georgia the exclusive right to use the slogan "the cradle of wine" when marketing its bottles in Europe. Considering the host of disputes Armenia has with Turkey (including some culinary ones), it seems unlikely the country will be very happy to see its neighbor to the west now in a position to also proclaim itself the "cradle of wine."

Hurricane Sandy came and has sorta "went" now.
It's still raining and freezing cold outside. I have work tomorrow though.
I don't have much to post so I thought I'd put up these outfit snaps.
From various weekends this past month…
This last outfit is from this Sunday. I threw some clothes on to run out before the storm started to hit. I wanted to get out while I could. Buy some hot coffee, etc. Being stuck indoors since Sunday afternoon has been more than boring.
I guess I wear my metallic Madewell skirt a lot on the weekends, ha! It's something I haven't worn to work so I gravitate towards it on the weekends.

I'm glad that you made it through the storm alright! I was worried it would hit harder than it did. I have school, tomorrow, as well. Back to the normal schedules, we all go, despite it still being stormy and dangerous out… Hopefully, no further incidents will occur.
Would you mind posting a full picture of your haircut, eventually? I just adore it. Your fashion style, though! It's definitely something I'll emulate more for University. I've been into statement pieces and Madewell, lately.
Hang in there, Jenny!
glad you're okay after the storm! Sandy didn't really leave her trace in my area, save for a couple of fallen branches, really. I'm happy that our district had school off yesterday and today anyway, haha ^^

Match play is, by its nature, an aggressive format. That's why it's so much fun to watch. Shots that you would never ordinarily see – through trees and bushes, firing at pins you couldn't find with Google Maps – are a routine part of a format where making birdie helps you a lot more than making double bogey hurts.
But some of the most aggressive shots this week at the Accenture Match Play Championship came on the greens. If you paid close attention the guys who made it to the final four, Ian Poulter, Jason Day, Hunter Mahan and Matt Kuchar almost never left a putt short. Kuchar was especially impressive. He built a 4-up lead on Mahan on Sunday by hitting putts in the back of the hole. Mahan mounted an aggressive back-nine change by doing the same thing. Every putt he hit looked like it was either going to hit the back of the hole or run at least four feet past.
That is the beauty of match play. You are either putting to win a point or halve a hole. Score is irrelevant. In stroke play, you will see players lagging putts a couple of feet short all the time, because they are concerned about making a score. In match play, the adage "never up, never in" applies.
Poulter is fantastic in match-play events for this very reason. He always hits putts so that the ball either goes in the back of the hole or runs three feet past. As he explained to a group of PGA members at this year's Teaching and Coaching Summit, "I make 100 percent of my putts from three feet, so I'm very comfortable running a putt three feet past the hole."
The amateur golfer could learn a lot from that mindset, not because amateurs make 100 percent of their three-footers, but because most amateurs pay far less attention to the speed of a putt than they do to line. If the average amateur forgot about line entirely and focused on nothing more than hitting every putt to the hole and no more than three feet past the hole, scores would go down dramatically.
The other reason amateurs should take a more aggressive approach on the greens is the fact that amateurs under-read break. If I asked my average student to read the break of a 15-foot putt assuming that the ball dies in the front of the hole, he or she will under-read that break by as much as 40 to 50 percent. But a putt that is going fast enough to run a couple of feet beyond the hole won't break as much. Suddenly, the student's read isn't so far off after all.
Ultimately it breaks down the first rule in putting: Speed is more important than line. See your putts hitting the back of the hole, just as you saw Matt Kuchar's putts powering into the cup in Tucson. If you do that more consistently, you will find your scores going down.

Malaga have completed the signing of Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa on a three-year contract.
The 29-year-old was a free agent after his deal with French side Ajaccio expired at the end of last season.
Ochoa was in demand after a string of impressive performances at the World Cup in Brazil and has opted for a new challenge in La Liga.
"Malaga Club de Futbol has reached an agreement to sign one of the best goalkeepers from the recent World Cup in Brazil, Guillermo Ochoa," read a statement on the club's official website.
"He will wear the Blue and Whites' shirt for the next three seasons. Ochoa has successfully passed the routine medical checks."
Ochoa began his career with America in his homeland and made over 300 appearances during his stay at the club.
A move to Ajaccio ensued in July 2011 and he played over 100 league and cup games in France.
Malaga were in the market for a new keeper after Willy Caballero opted to join Premier League champions Manchester City.

Handball's been a bit of a breakout sport for American audiences, though today's quarterfinal between reigning gold medalist France and Spain wasn't aired live in the U.S.. That's a shame, because it was a battle befitting the two pan-sport rivals, one finally seized by the Gauls when William Accambray's rebound shot found the net as the horn sounded to advance his team by a 23-22 score.
The match seemed destined for overtime when Frenchman Nikola Karabatic's shot from the left was saved with seconds left, but Accambray's presence in the paint (do they call it the paint in handball?) left him in prime position to score.
It's the second handball thriller of the day after Hungary's upset of gold-minded Iceland in double overtime. You can watch the full video of both matches here.

Tangotiger on January 4, 2012:
Nate Silver had a headline that read: Why I'd Bet on Santorum (and Against My Model)
I thought: NO!!!! Nate, why? Why?
The reason should be clear: why HAVE a model that includes all the parameters you deem relevant, if you then throw away the model if you don't like the results?
So, I really wish that those people who have forecasting models to NOT hedge their bets here. Either you have a model or you don't.
Tangotiger on February 4, 2012:
Brian doesn't blindly follow his off-the-wall forecast. Good for him.
You got that, everyone? Don't disregard your model if you don't like the results and don't put stock in the crazy forecasts from your model.
