Hafeez hails ?exceptional? Yuvraj Singh ? Cricket News Update

Pakistan?s T20 skipper Mohammad Hafeez lauded Man of the Match Yuvraj Singh for his blistering half-century knock in the second and final T20 International against India in Ahmedabad on Friday, saying the veteran left-hander was ?exceptional? with the bat.

The 31-year-old Chandigarh star smashed a swashbuckling 72 off just 36 balls to help India set an intimidating 193-run target for the archrivals Pakistan in the must-win encounter. On the course, the left-hander shared a 97-run stand with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (33 off 23), with the bulk coming from the former, who smashed seven huge sixes and four boundaries during his 59-minute stay at the crease.

"No doubt, Yuvi was exceptional today," Hafeez said while speaking to media reporters after his side?s 11-run defeat in the second T20I. "His partnership with?MS Dhoni?was the turning point of this match."?

"We were not expecting it to go that further. We were thinking about restricting them to 160-170. I think [India] did the basics right," lamented the experienced all-rounder.

In reply, opener Nasir Jamshed (41) and the visiting skipper Mohammad Hafeez (55) tried their best to chase down the 193-run target, but a clinical bowling performance from Bengal pacer Ashok Dinda (4-0-36-3) in the death overs ensured it was India?s day. Dinda dismissed big hitting Umar Akmal (24 off 17) in the 17th over, before removing danger man Hafeez and wicketkeeper batsman Kamran Akmal in the penultimate over of Pakistan?s chase, to help the hosts restrict the Men in Green to 181 for 7.

"[Ashok] Dinda was good in the last two overs," said Hafeez, a veteran of 29 Tests and 107 One Day Internationals.

"His yorkers were right and we thought if we can get a ball to hit then we can win the match. But the second last over, Dinda bowled well where Kamran and I got out. If either of us had scored a boundary, then it would have eased the pressure," added the visiting skipper, who walked away with the Player of the Series award for scoring back-to-back half centuries in the short series.

Family quiet on condition of George H.W. Bush

Still, no discharge date has been set, and McGrath says that doctors are being cautious because at Bush?s age ?sometimes issues crop up that are beyond anybody?s ability to discern or foretell.?(AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File)

(AP) ? Former President George H.W. Bush is unlikely to leave the Houston hospital where he's being cared for anytime soon but would tell well-wishers to "put the harps back in the closet," a longtime aide said.

Jean Becker said in a statement Thursday evening that the 88-year-old, who has been hospitalized for longer than a month, is receiving excellent care after a "terrible case of bronchitis which then triggered a series of complications."

Bush, the oldest living former president, has been in intensive care since Sunday. He was admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on Nov. 23 for treatment of what his spokesman Jim McGrath described as a "stubborn" cough. He had spent about a week there earlier in November for treatment of the same condition.

McGrath and a hospital spokesman did not provide any new information on the president's health Friday morning. McGrath said previously that only changes in Bush's condition would prompt updates about his health.

Becker, Bush's longtime Houston chief of staff, said "most of the civilized world" contacted her Wednesday after word spread that Bush had been placed in intensive care unit when physicians were having difficulty bringing a fever under control.

"Someday President George H.W. Bush might realize how beloved he is, but of course one of the reasons why he is so beloved is because he has no idea," Becker said in the at-times lighthearted statement that made multiple references to jokes and the former president's sense of humor.

She said updates about Bush's condition have been limited "out of respect for President Bush and the Bush family who, like most of us, prefer to deal with health issues in privacy." She said another factor was "because he is so beloved we knew everyone would overreact."

"I hope you all know how much your love, concern and support are appreciated," Becker said.

While the president's treatment was "unequaled anywhere," she said prayers also were needed and welcomed.

"I am thinking heaven has not seen such a barrage of prayer intentions since 'It's a Wonderful Life,'" she said, referring to the classic Christmas movie.

It was hoped Bush would be well enough to spend Christmas at home. But while his cough eased, he developed a persistent fever and his condition was downgraded to "guarded."

The former president has had visits from family and friends, including longtime friend James Baker III, his former Secretary of State. Bush's daughter, Dorothy, arrived Wednesday from her home in Bethesda, Md. Other visitors have included his sons George W. Bush, the 43rd president, and Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor.

Bush and his wife, Barbara, live in Houston during the winter and spend their summers at a home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Bush, the 41st president, had served two terms as Ronald Reagan's vice president when he was elected in 1988 to succeed Reagan. Four years later, after a term highlighted by the success of the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait, he lost to Democrat Bill Clinton amid voters' concerns about the economy.

Bush was a naval aviator in World War II ? at one point the youngest in the Navy ? and was shot down over the Pacific. He's skydived on at least three of his birthdays since leaving the White House, most recently when he turned 85.

He left New England for an oil business job in West Texas in 1948. He's also been a Republican congressman from Texas, U.S. ambassador to China and CIA director.

Bush suffers from a form of Parkinson's disease that forced him in recent years to use a motorized scooter or wheelchair for mobility.

Samsung Galaxy Note II reportedly coming in black, triggers monolithic memories

Samsung Galaxy Note II reportedly coming in black, still won't be stealthy

Samsung gave Galaxy S III buyers a small rainbow of color choices in the summer, and there's signs that the Galaxy Note II might receive a similarly resplendent treatment. A supposed press image obtained by AndroidSlash shows the giant smartphone draped in a previously unavailable black that's potentially very striking -- and more than a little reminiscent of 2001's species-changing monoliths. There's no official word from Samsung on its authenticity, although we wouldn't be surprised knowing the company's history and the Note II's strong track record. When a theoretically niche device is selling like gangbusters, some added diversity could be in order. Just don't expect any Starchildren as a result.

Russia: Vladimir Putin Signs Bill Banning Americans From Adopting ...

MOSCOW -- President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed a law banning Americans from adopting Russian children, abruptly terminating the prospects for more than 50 youngsters preparing to join new families and sparking critics to liken him to King Herod.

The move is part of a harsh response to a U.S. law targeting Russians deemed to be human rights violators. Although some top Russian officials including the foreign minister openly opposed the bill, Putin signed it less than 24 hours after receiving it from Parliament, where it passed both houses overwhelmingly.

The law also calls for the closure of non-governmental organizations receiving American funding if their activities are classified as political ? a broad definition many fear could be used to close any NGO that offends the Kremlin.

The law takes effect Jan. 1, the Kremlin said. Children's rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov said 52 children who were in the pipeline for U.S. adoption would remain in Russia.

The ban is in response to a measure signed into law by President Barack Obama this month that calls for sanctions against Russians assessed to be human rights violators.

That stems from the case of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who was arrested after accusing officials of a $230 million tax fraud. He was repeatedly denied medical treatment and died in jail in 2009. Russian rights groups claimed he was severely beaten.

A prison doctor who was the only official charged in the case was acquitted by a Moscow court on Friday. Although there was no demonstrable connection to Putin's signing the law a few hours later, the timing underlines what critics say is Russia's refusal to responsibly pursue the case.

The adoption ban has angered both Americans and Russians who argue it victimizes children to make a political point, cutting off a route out of frequently dismal orphanages for thousands.

"The king is Herod," popular writer Oleg Shargunov said on his Twitter account, referring to the Roman-appointed king of Judea at the time of Jesus Christ's birth, who the Bible says ordered the massacre of Jewish children to avoid being supplanted by a prophesied newborn king of the Jews.

A painting depicting the massacre and captioned "an appropriate response to the Magnitsky act" spread widely on the Internet. The phrase echoed Putin's characterization of the ban while it was under consideration.

U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell expressed regret over Putin's signing the law and urged Russia to "allow those children who have already met and bonded with their future parents to finish the necessary legal procedures so that they can join their families."

Vladimir Lukin, head of the Russian Human Rights Commission and a former ambassador to Washington, said he would challenge the law in the Constitutional Court.

The U.S. law galvanized Russian resentment of the United States, which Putin has claimed funded and encouraged the wave of massive anti-government protests that arose last winter.

The Parliament initially considered a relatively similar retaliatory measure, but amendments have expanded it far beyond a tit-for-tat response.

UNICEF estimates that there are about 740,000 children not in parental custody in Russia while about 18,000 Russians are on the waiting list to adopt a child. The U.S. is the biggest destination for adopted Russian children ? more than 60,000 of them have been taken in by Americans over the past two decades.

Russians historically have been less enthusiastic about adopting children than most Western cultures. Putin, along with signing the adoption ban, on Friday issued an order for the government to develop a program to provide more support for adopted children.

Lev Ponomarev, one of Russia's most prominent human rights activists, hinted at that reluctance when he said Parliament members who voted for the bill should take custody of the children who were about to be adopted.

"The moral responsibility lies on them," he told Interfax. "But I don't think that even one child will be taken to be brought up by deputies of the Duma."

Many Russians have been distressed for years by reports of Russian children dying or suffering abuse at the hands of their American adoptive parents. The new Russian law was dubbed the "Dima Yakovlev Bill" after a toddler who died in 2008 when his American adoptive father left him in a car in broiling heat for hours.

In that case, the father was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter and Russia has complained of acquittals or light sentences in other such cases.

The Investigative Committee, Russia's top investigative body, on Friday complained that its attempts to have the acquittals overturned or reconsidered had been ignored by the United States. Under U.S. law, acquittals are final except in rare cases.

Russians also bristled at how the widespread adoptions appeared to show them as hardhearted or too poor to take care of orphans. Astakhov, the children's ombudsman, charged that well-heeled Americans often got priority over Russians who wanted to adopt.

A few lawmakers even claimed that some Russian children were adopted by Americans only to be used for organ transplants or become sex toys or cannon fodder for the U.S. Army. A spokesman for Russia's dominant Orthodox Church said that children adopted by foreigners and raised outside the church will not enter God's kingdom.

Kodak, dijital g?r?nt?leme patentlerini aralar?nda Apple, Google, Microsoft ve Samsung'un da bulundu?u bir ?irketler birli?ine satacak


?lk dijital kameran?n mucidi Eastman Kodak, 21. y?zy?lda dibe vuran k?kl? teknoloji firmalar?ndan biri olarak ge?ti?imiz Ekim ay?nda Amerika'daki tesisleri ve di?er m?lklerini elinde tutabilmek i?in resmen iflas koruma ba?vurusunda bulunmu?tu. Yakla??k otuz y?l ?nce 145 bin ?al??ana sahip bir d?nya markas? olarak nitelendirilen g?r?nt?leme end?strisinin dev ismi, y?z binden fazla eleman?yla yollar?n? ay?rd?, bir?ok k?tadaki onlarca operasyonuna son verdi. ?flas Mahkemesi taraf?ndan toplam m?lkiyeti 5.1 milyar dolar, borcu ise 6.75 milyar dolar olarak a??klanan ?irket, Citigroup ile 950 milyon dolarl?k bir kredi i?in anla?maya varm??, bunun d???nda as?rl?k tecr?besinin ?r?nleri olan g?r?nt?leme patentlerini satarak borucunu kapatmaya ?al??aca??n? duyurmu?tu.

?

1,100 g?r?nt?leme patentine sahip Kodak'?n federal mahkemeden yapt??? a??klamada, dijital foto?raf ?ekme, payla?ma gibi hususlarla ilgili patentlerin 2.21 - 2.57 milyar dolar de?erinde oldu?u bildirilmi?ti. Ancak Google, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, LG gibi bir?ok firmaya lisanslanarak ?imdiye kadar 3 milyar dolar?n ?zerinde gelir elde edilen bu teknolojilerin yayg?n hale gelmi? olmalar?ndan ?t?r? de?erini yitirdi?i ifade edildi. Patentleri sat?n almak ?zere Intellectual Ventures Managment ?a?t?s?nda birle?en Apple, Microsoft, Research In Motion gibi firmalar, Temmuz ay?ndan beri RPX'in bir araya getirdi?i Google ve Android ekosisteminin Asyal? firmalar?ndan Samsung, HTC, Huawei ile teklif yar??? i?erisindeydi. Bug?n Bloomberg'in bildirdi?i son geli?meyle nihayet taraflar?n bir ?irketler birli?i olu?turarak patentleri sat?n almaya karar verdi?i ortaya ??kt?.

?

Resmi bas?n duyurusunu k?sa s?re ?nce a??klayan Kodak, bir k?s?m g?r?nt?leme patentlerini kapsayan bu al?mdan yakla??k 525 milyon dolarl?k bir gelir elde edece?ini belirtti. ?irketler birli?inde ba?? ?eken Apple ve Google'?n yan? s?ra al?m?n kapsad??? dijital g?r?nt?leme teknolojilerini ?r?nlerinde lisansl? bir ?ekilde kullanabilecek ?u isimler yer al?yor; Adobe Systems, Amazon, Facebook, Fujifilm, HTC, Huawei, Microsoft, Samsung, Shutterfly, Research In Motion. 2011'de Nortel Networks'?n 6,000 ileti?im teknolojisi patentine yine bir konsorsiyum olu?turarak 4.5 milyar dolar ?deyen Apple ve Microsoft, 900 milyon dolarl?k bir teklif veren Google'? saf d??? b?rakmay? ba?arm??t?. Fakat bu durumdan ders ??karan teknoloji devlerinin Kodak patentleri i?in s?rd?rd?kleri rekabetten vazge?erek daha ekonomik bir teklifle anla?maya vard?klar? belirtildi.

?

Ald??? krediler ve satm?? oldu?u g?r?nt?leme patentleriyle bor?lar?n? ?deyip 2013 ilk yar?s?nda iflastan ??kmay? uman Eastman Kodak, ilerleyen d?nemlerde ?irketi k???lt?p foto?raf??l?k sekt?r? yerine reklam, ambalaj ve bask? alanlar? ile kurumsal servislere odaklanacak. Bu stratejiyle varl???n? s?rd?rmeye devam etmeyi uman New York merkezli firma, gelecek planlar?nda ?nemli bir yere sahip olan patentlerinin sat???n?n ?flas Mahkemesi taraf?ndan onayland?ktan sonra tamamlanaca??n? aktard?.?

Balotelli accepts City fine, withdraws appeal

Associated Press Sports

updated 8:40 a.m. ET Dec. 19, 2012

MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Mario Balotelli has accepted a two-week fine by Manchester City for repeated on-field misbehavior last season and withdrew his appeal against the sanction.

The Italy striker was due to take on City at a Premier League tribunal in London on Wednesday after being handed a fine reported to be 340,000 pounds ($550,000) - or two weeks' wages.

However, City says in a statement "after amicable talks between the parties, as a sign of respect for Roberto Mancini, the supporters and the club, Mario Balotelli has chosen to accept a two-week fine levied upon him."

City says "Mario remains available for selection for all forthcoming fixtures."

Balotelli missed 11 games last season because of suspension.

Factory Reset Android Developer Phone without password

If fastboot is installed on the handset (or commonly called bootloader), it might be best to re-flash via usage of USB cable and the handset with the cable plugged in.

In order to achieve this, a original image file is needed for this to work. The essence of fastboot, is that from the command line, the handset can be re-formatted and told to boot specific kernels without touching the original on the handset.

Consider the options used in the fastboot binary command line application, as in:

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>  commands:   update <filename>                        reflash device from update.zip   flashall                                 flash boot + recovery + system   flash <partition> [ <filename> ]         write a file to a flash partition   erase <partition>                        erase a flash partition   getvar <variable>                        display a bootloader variable   boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ]              download and boot kernel   flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ]    create bootimage and flash it   devices                                  list all connected devices   continue                                 continue with autoboot   reboot                                   reboot device normally   reboot-bootloader                        reboot device into bootloader   help                                     show this help message  options:   -w                                       erase userdata and cache   -s <serial number>                       specify device serial number   -p <product>                             specify product name   -c <cmdline>                             override kernel commandline   -i <vendor id>                           specify a custom USB vendor id   -b <base_addr>                           specify a custom kernel base address   -n <page size>                           specify the nand page size. default: 2048 

Thus, the command line to wipe cleanly and flash the original image file would be this:

  1. fastboot erase system to wipe the /system partition cleanly.
  2. fastboot erase data to wipe the /data partition cleanly.
  3. fastboot flash system original_system_image.img

The optional step may as well be, to flash the original boot image which can be achieved in this manner - fastboot flash boot original_boot_image.img.

If you happen to have the original update.zip for your handset, it might be easier to do it in this fashion, instead of the three steps above listed, as in fastboot update update.zip.

Chinese New Year Crafts: Mini Lanterns (from TP Rolls!)

If you're new here, you may want to join us on Facebook or Google +. Thanks for visiting!

Let?s celebrate Chinese New Year with this some?Chinese New Year Crafts ! Every year the Chinese New Year will be on a different date, but it is usually late January to mid February. And I thought it would be nice to share another TP Roll craft? one that we made ages ago, but never shared with you on the blog ? TP Roll Lanterns ? make set of these and string some fairy lights around them?! (I have more Chinese New Year Crafts for you to browse, just click through).

(BTW make a multi coloured set of these and they also make a nice decoration for Carnival!)

Lanterns are a symbol that signify the reunion of people. In China, when the new year comes or people have a happy event like a wedding, they? often hang many beautiful red lanterns in celebration.

Materials: The Paper Roll, red paint, gold paint or gold foil or gold ribbon, scissors (I find nail scissors best or a Stanley knife ? but do not let the children do this bit), if using foil, glue, red ribbon for hanging, staples for attaching ribbon

Step 1 Paint the paper roll red, paint the inside too if you feel like a perfectionist

Step 2 Once dried mark two rims approximately 1cm from either end ? either leave until last or paint gold now ? or add gold foil or wrap a golden ribbon around it.

Step 3 Cut strips from within these two rims approximately 0.5-1cm apart. This is fiddly and I find nail scissors work, better still a Stanley knife. This should be done by an adult. And yes, it is a little fiddly!

Step 4 Once all the strips are cut, push the ends together like a concertina. Make sure the ?bend? in the strips is in the middle of the roll

Step 5 Paint tops and bottoms gold or glue on god foil if you didn?t already do it above

Step 6 Staple on the ribbon for hanging

Step 7 Repeat and then add all the lanterns to one long ribbon.

Done!

Happy Chinese New Year!

I do hope you liked our TP Roll Craft, we have many more TP Roll Crafts for you to explore.

Sell, lease or bury: Toronto considering all options ... - Financial Press


Toronto?s budget committee broadened the list of possible options for the crumbling Gardiner Expressway, recommending that city staff report back on the possibility of selling, leasing or burying the critical artery.

The terms of study, still to be approved by city council, also apply to its less controversial neighbour the Don Valley Parkway and stem from an idea floated by downtown Councillor Adam Vaughan, who says the city should look at selling the roads as a way to finance escalating repair costs.

He believes Toronto could make $3-to $4-billion on each highway, in turn giving a private firm the ability to impose tolls. Depending on how the deal is structured, Mr. Vaughan believes the city would either have a windfall of sale proceeds, or a share of tolls to put into transit expansion.

The Gardiner has emerged as the most controversial issue of the 2013 budget. On Friday, another chunk of concrete peeled off the underbelly of the highway, near Rees Street and onto Lake Shore Boulevard. No one was injured.

It?s going to be a safe roadway

Amid revelations that an eastern stretch has just six good years left, councillors will grapple in the new year with a plan to spend $505-million over the next 10 years on Gardiner repairs. The cost has raised the idea of dismantling some of it again, but an environmental assessment looking into that possibility would have to be restarted.

?I want to assure Torontonians we are going to fix whatever needs to be fixed on the Gardiner and I don?t view it as good money after bad,? said Budget Chief Mike Del Grande. ?It?s going to be a safe roadway.?

But its future will be a hotly debated item once city staff report back on the various options in May. Councillor James Pasternak, the budget committee member who urged that the leasing option be considered, cast the sale of the Gardiner and the DVP as a ?risky game.?

?If those were off-loaded to private hands, it could strangle opportunities, decision making for the city for generations,? he said.

Councillor Peter Milczyn also rejected a sale, but said a lease is worth exploring. Councillor John Parker suggested looking at the tunnel option, which he said was only intended to apply to the Gardiner. Councillor Doug Ford, budget committee vice chairman, has long said the city should enlist the private sector to build a tunnelled alternative to the Gardiner, which could be tolled, while keeping the existing structure free.

?I?m in favour of exploring. What is the cost of tunnelling, what is the cost of putting a double decker, a triple decker like they have in New York? Let?s find out the cost,? said Mr. Ford, who congratulated Mr. Vaughan for having ?taken a page out of my playbook? when it comes to public-private partnerships.

Mr. Vaughan, for his part, expressed skepticism about burying the Gardiner, saying the money would be better spent on transit, and not exclusively on building a new road.

The budget committee also endorsed the budget chief?s recommendation to tweak the property tax hike in 2013 to 2% from 1.95% and ?meet people part of the way.? That would generate about $1.15-million, which the committee earmarked for student nutrition programs, the cash-strapped Toronto Botanical Gardens, lawn bowling clubs, community grants and local arts groups in North York and the east end. The rising value of property in Toronto combined with a policy at the city to reduce commercial property tax rates means that the average house will see a 2.51% tax jump. Mr. Del Grande hoped his proposal would satisfy his colleagues.

?If at the end of the day council wants to blow $5, $10, $20, $50-million, that?s them,? said the budget chief. ?I can tell you guaranteed ? guaranteed ? for sure they won?t have me anymore as the budget chair. I have no interest at all under that scenario.?

HTC M7 said to pack 4.7-inch 1080p display and 13MP camera, succeed One X

Unwired View and prolific leaker @evleaks have jointly doled out what are reportedly specs for a handset codenamed the HTC M7, the supposed successor of the One X. Headlined by a 4.7-inch 1080p "SoLux" screen with 468ppi, the LTE-toting smartphone is said to offer improved viewing angles, color accuracy and outdoor visibility. On the imaging front, the device is listed with a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera leveraging a f/2.0 lens and support for 1080p, slow-mo and HDR video recording. There's also mention of a front-facing 2-megapixel shooter capable of capturing footage in 1080p. As for internals, the phone is believed to be outfitted with a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in memory. Stereo speakers and a Beats amplifier should tag along as well, in addition to support for 802.11ac WiFi. The phone is expected to make its way to at least Sprint and Verizon with Jelly Bean and Sense 5 onboard, but an official reveal won't reportedly happen until Mobile World Congress this coming Spring.

Apple says China iPhone 5 sales in first weekend top two million

(Reuters) - Apple Inc sold more than 2 million of its new iPhone 5 in China during the three days after its launch there on Friday, marking China's best-selling iPhone rollout ever, the company said late on Sunday.

"Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, setting a new record with the best first weekend sales ever in China," Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said in a statement.

Apple's latest iPhone, which offers a larger 4-inch screen and 4G capability, was launched in the United States and 30 other countries in September, when the company sold more than 5 million of the devices in the first three days.

The device's highly anticipated release in China, Apple's second-biggest market, failed to stop the recent share slide of the world's most valuable technology company, and analysts said Apple's longer-term China hopes may hinge on a partnership with China Mobile Ltd, the country's top telecoms carrier.

Banned From Baby Showers: Bullying On the Playground of Life

I started writing this post months ago when my then-7th grader was being bullied by a girl half her size. ?This girl at school was doing things like cutting pieces of Vena's hair, taking her shoes and throwing them across the classroom, throwing her homework in the trash, and berating my daughter every chance she got.

I've had another kid boss one of my girls to give her answers to her homework and then turn the other girls on her, telling them not to play with Abby.

My son had his share of problems when he was little, but figured out pretty early on how to deal with it. ? ?As a junior in high school, he has a section leader (band) that he's had a hard time dealing with this semester, however. ?The guy even pushed him and has been verbally abusive. ?Daymon has just had to ignore him and stay out of his way. ?It's really affected how he feels about band this year.

My youngest doesn't like to take treats in her school lunches because there's a girl who always takes them from her.

So, like most families, we have this constant conversation at our house about what is acceptable behavior and what is not. ?The whole "treat others as you want to be treated" just doesn't pan out sometimes. ?You can be the nicest person on the planet and sometimes people are just jerks.


We have noticed a theme with children that bully:? they are either only-children or they have a dysfunctional family life. ?With the first category, I realize that all only-children are not bullies, but several of the bullies in our life have been. ?They have been poor communicators and do not have conflict resolution skills. ?They often get whatever they want at home and make fun of my kids who have to share the majority of what they have. ?(I'm so sick of "Why can't I have my own iPad like fill-in-the-blank?")

The second category is more difficult. ?These are the kids you would normally feel sorry for if they weren't such brats. ?They are likely bullied at home by either their parents or older siblings. ?This may be a rough analogy, but my favorite show is "Criminal Minds" on CBS. ?By the end of the program, I find myself feeling sorry for the "unsub" because his childhood was so rough, it's no wonder he became a sociopath. And yet, he's despicable for all the bad things he did. ?That's how I feel about some of these kids.

People who are bullied do become adults. ?If they never learn to stand up for themselves, they either keep being bullied or become angry, depressed, or resentful. ? I hope all children who are bullied are able to grow up, find their voice, and realize that the problem lies with the bully, not with the one who is bullied. They have to have people in their lives who tell them they are awesome though -- people who boost them up and help them see their worth.

My 11-year-old says, "You never loose a friend, you just figure out who the real ones are." ?She's so smart. ?She has awesome self-esteem and is still often treated awfully by some of the girls at school. She is able to let it roll off her though. ?I am so proud of her and her maturity in dealing with these snotty girls.

So what about those girls on the playground that made other girls do what they wanted them to? ?The ones who said that if you were friends with someone they didn't like, they wouldn't be friends with you? ?We all dealt with that as kids! ?Not much changes as adults, apparently. ?Not long ago, I was?told what Facebook pages I should and shouldn't "like"!?I also?know adults that have literally been told who they can and cannot be friends with by their supposed friends. ?Can you imagine an adult telling another adult who they can and can't be friends with?!
???


I believe this topic is so relevant in our lives, no matter our age or the age of our children, or even our parents. Why do people like to boss other people? ?It must make them feel powerful where they feel powerless in other areas of their lives. ?They have to manipulate others because they have no control over their lives, compulsions, or addictions. ?It's like the abusive husband that makes his wife think it's her fault he keeps hitting her. ?She keeps coming back apologizing because she shouldn't have worn that dress, or made that expression, or said what she thought. ?She deserved to be punched -- physically or verbally -- or so he makes her believe. This translates over to birth. ?Women are bullied into cesarean birth like never before. ?They are bullied by doctors, nurses, friends, mothers, etc.? ?They may want an entirely different birth but don't want to disappoint the people around them. ?They lack the self esteem to say "NO! ?This is my life, my baby, and my body. ?I will make my own decisions, like I expect you to make your own decisions. ?I'm not telling you how to live your life -- please give me the same respect."

This all boils down to self-esteem. ?If you are bullied, you lack the self-esteem to say STOP! ?If you are a bully, your lack of self-esteem is evident because knocking others down makes you feel better about yourself.

I've worked with hundreds of women over the years and I believe many of them would make different choices in many areas of their lives if they had good self-esteem. ?In the few months since starting training women as natural childbirth educators, it's been amazing to work with women and seeing them develop confidence in themselves. ?It has been awesome!

Winston Churchill once stated, "Do you worst - we'll do our best." ?I never want to be known as a bully, but rather someone who lifted people up and helped them become better people, reaching their full potential. ?I want my children to be better than me. ?I want the instructors I am training for Birth Boot Camp to be better than me.

If you are being bullied, you are worth so much more! ?If it's too hard to stand up to the bullies, walk away from them. ?Don't crawl back. ?It's better to stand alone than to let yourself be put under by someone who wants to control you. ? Like my very wise daughter says, "You never loose a friend - you figure out who the real ones are."

(AP) ? Country star Jason Aldean has apologized to fans after pictures of him acting "inappropriately" last week popped up.

Aldean tweeted Sunday that he wanted to talk to fans directly instead of letting gossip websites tell his story. The tweet comes after photos appeared showing Aldean and former "American Idol" contestant Brittany Kerr together at a bar last Wednesday in Los Angeles. In one photo, they appear to kiss.

Aldean says "the truth is I screwed up," had too much to drink and acted inappropriately at the bar. He noted that he left alone and added, "ultimately I ended up embarrassing myself and my family." Aldean is married with two children. A publicist says there will be no further comment.

The multi-platinum singer releases his fifth album, "Night Train," on Oct. 16.

Georgian opposition leader predicts election victory

While Titina gave up her teaching career to raise their two children, Claude had a lucrative career as pharmaceutical sales representative. But Claude's lay-off earlier this year, coupled with a $75,000 debt from a previous marriage and $69,000 a year in child support, has sent shock waves through the family's finances. Now seriously considering a move to Titina's home country of Canada, the couple seeks alternative options by speaking with finance expert Farnoosh Torabi.

People Are Calling For This Apple Executive&#39;s Head - Business Insider

Who's to blame for Apple's disappointing Maps experience?

Fingers are pointing at Apple iOS software Vice President, Scott Forstall, and some say he should be fired over the mess.

Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt asks, "Does Apple have a Scott Forstall problem?"

Forstall eloquently introduced Apple Maps to the world at its conference a few weeks ago. There was no mention of the service having any limitations.

Former Apple executive and venture capitalist Jean-Louis Grassee writes of the deception:

"[Forstall's] demo was flawless, 2D and 3D maps, turn-by-turn navigation, spectacular flyovers? but not a word from the stage about the app's limitations, no self-deprecating wink, no admission that iOS Maps is an infant that needs to learn to crawl before walking, running, and ultimately lapping the frontrunner, Google Maps. Instead, we're told that Apple's Maps may be 'the most beautiful, powerful mapping service ever.'"

Maps isn't Forstall's first let down either. Last year he unveiled Siri on the iPhone 4S, another Apple embarrassment. But at least Siri was clearly label "beta."

Other reports say Forstall has issues internally at Apple too. Last year Bloomberg Businessweek reported that he doesn't get along well with other Apple executives; designer Jony Ive and Bob Mansfiled avoid meeting with Forstall unless Apple's president Tim Cook is there.

"He routinely takes credit for collaborative successes and defelcts blame for mistakes," Bloomberg wrote of Forstall.

But then Forstall has done a lot for Apple. He's been at the company for nearly two decades and joined the company when NeXT was acquired in 1997. He was one of the original architects of the Mac OS X operating system and has headed up iPhone and iPad software since 2006. In that same Bloomberg article he was dubbed "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" under Steve Jobs. He's long been considered Apple's "CEO-in-Waiting."

Is it fair to blame Forstall for everything and are Apple Maps really that big a deal? Probably not. But some Apple fans are really upset.

A reader wrote to Elmer-DeWitt, "There's no excuse [for Apple Maps]. Quality control on Apple Maps had to have been terrible to not get this right. Bluntly, Scott Forstall should be fired over this mess."

Alright everyone, just like in Fairy Tail our members will be in their own little groups/teams. And I am sorry to say that you will not be picking them. I will assign groups based on ability and ranking. This is so I can level out all the teams. For example, I wont allow teams of all A's or A's and S's. That would be unfair, therefor I would need to equal them out with lower members. Also, each team will be able to name themselves, and that is completely up to you once you find out who you are teamed with. Amount of people per team will vary.
