Every 'Roots!' shoutout ever on 'Late Night'

By Courtney Hazlett

One of the great job perks of working within the walls of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which also happens to be where "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" is taped, is running into a member of Fallon's house band, "The Roots," from time to time. It's good to know that the bit of star struck-ness I feel after standing in line to pay for lunch behind drummer ?uestlove? is similarly felt by the A-listers who are actually guests on the show. The evidence is right here in this awesome clip job, which shows every Roots shoutout that's taken place on the "Fallon." Check it out. The Roots!?

Which late-night TV band is your favorite? Tell us on our Facebook page.

Full Marriage Equality: Supporting Gay Marriage, Opposing ...

Some people support the rights of (some) gay and lesbian couples to enter into legally monogamous marriages, but oppose relationship rights for the polyamorous, or the polygamous freedom to marry. Or, they oppose relationship rights or the freedom to marry for those in consanguineous relationships.

This should not be surprising, given human history. Some people did and do fight discrimination against women, but are fine with discrimination against racial minorities. Or they have fought discrimination against racial minorities but support discrimination against women, or discrimination against LGBT people, or people with disabilities... on and on it goes. Some people have different biases and prejudices, or a group they treat like a punching bag while supporting another group that is being discriminated against. Some people have no hesitation in turning around and using the same arguments in denying rights to others that were used to deny rights to them.

Unfortunately, bigotry and prejudice are sometimes enshrined in law, and laws can be arbitrary... some country or division thereof might pass a law limiting marriages to Saturdays in June, if that is what the people in power want. So laws have allowed interracial marriage, but banned marriage for gay couples and lesbian couples, or have allowed gay couples to marry, but banned polygamous marriages. In some countries, polygyny is accepted, but gays and lesbians can?t even come out of the closet. In the US, some states allow (mostly heterosexual, so far) first cousins to marry, but some states don't, and virtually none allow any relatives closer than that to marry.

When someone asks, ?Is it bigotry to advocate gay marriage, but oppose polyamory?? The answer is: yes, it is. It is one thing, and a valid one, to explain that gay or lesbian monogamy is not the same thing as any version of polyamory. It is another thing, and bigotry at that, to throw polyamorous people under the bus; that one is not polyamorous does not mean it is okay to stand by while the polyamorous are discriminated against, and it certainly isn?t okay to join in and denounce polyamory as a legitimate sphere of relationships.

?I?m not polyamorous.?
?I think polyamory is disgusting.?
?Polymory goes against tradition.?
?My religion is against it.?
?It?s not natural.?
?It hurts children.?
?It hurts women.?
?It is abusive.?
?It spreads STIs.?
?What?s next??
?Our laws are set up for monogamy.?

Those are essentially same arguments that were used against allowing monogamous gays and lesbians to marry.

The homophobes, against all gay or lesbian relationships, tout statistics of substance abuse, domestic violence, and the like. But shouldn?t we expect problems like that in a group that has largely been rejected (even by their own family,) systematically discriminated against, even prosecuted for being who they are and loving other adults? Likewise, the negative indicators cited against polygamy as correlating are not caused by polygamy. They can be attributed to the overall subculture which was studied (frontier 19th century US under patriarchal monolithic church, isolated patriarchal theocracies, Arabian and African misogynistic patriarchies, etc.) With gender equality, domestic violence protections, and the freedoms to not marry and to divorce, allowing an adult, regardless of religion, gender, or sexual orientation, their rights to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any consenting adults will help women, some of whom will choose to marry two or more other women. It will also help children, whose parents will be able to legally cohabitate and marry if that is what they want. It will also help men, too. Legalization will make it more likely that abusers will be caught, because victims and witnesses will not have to fear self-incrimination by informing law enforcement.

This debate has recently been seen in Australia. In Australia, is it not legal to have a different sex partner (or two or more) every night and to have children with multiple different people? But it isn?t legal to marry or be married more than one other person at the same time? What kind of sense is that?

Yes, it is possible for the laws to include gay and lesbian couples in marriage, but not polyamorous relationships (or consanguinamorous relationships.) But that is arbitrary. What is consistent? What is fair? What is justice? What is loving? What is equality? Equality just for some is not equality. Full marriage equality means an adult is free to marry any consenting adults. It doesn?t mean anyone else has to do anything they don?t want. It simply means not treating some adults as second class citizens based on their sexual orientation or which other adults they love.

Do we take the concept of consenting adults seriously or not? Why do we allow a woman to go to war at age 18, operate heavy machinery, vote, and do so many other things, but we don?t allow her to marry another woman? Or marry a man who is already married, even though all are informed and consenting?

These relationships exist, and always have. Some of them are lasting, loving, beautiful relationships. Some people in these relationships are raising children together. Many of these people are good citizens and neighbors. Why deny any of them marriage, if they want it?

While many gay and lesbian relationships are monogamous, most polyamorous relationships include at least one person who can be considered LGBT. Even in strictly heterosexual ?V? relationships (M-F-M or F-M-F), the two people of the same gender, even if they are never together, have what is called a metamour relationship. So the rights of polyamorous people should be considered part of the overall ?queer? or LGBT civil rights issue.

Stand up for everyone?s right to marry, not just your right to marry or your friend?s right to marry. Whether someone is monogamous or polyamorous, or gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, queer, or whatever, everyone should have the freedom to marry and everyone should stand up for full marriage equality.

Will any of you be so kind and please help me out?

Firstly, posts like this should really be in the Help forum as that is the place ask about site features and the like. (Don't make a new thread, a moderator will come along to move this one) The Roleplay Academy is specifically for helping to improve ones writing/roleplaying ability.

However, in response to your questions:

1. Activity happens in Places. Within an individual roleplay, the two sections are indeed interlinked - the Activity section shows all posts, the Locations section shows posts IN that location. This is, of course, best appreciated where a roleplay has multiple locations; something not all roleplays need.

2. See above, that is the connection between the two.

3. Nothing is wrong. We have a no-delete policy here on RoleplayGateway, so you won't be able to delete the roleplay.

4. See above. And if you choose to give up a character, they are moved to the 'Orphanage' where another member can take the character to use as their own. This feature is especially useful if, for example, someone leaves a roleplay and they have a pivotal character. They can abandon said character and allow another player in the roleplay to take over that character's role - very useful to maintain consistency and the like.

5. This question should probably be posted in the RPG Design forum if you are wanting specific feedback on the roleplay. If you want help and advice on how to better craft your own roleplays, then feel free to make a post in the Roleplay Academy asking for some guidance.

Hope that helps.

Madonna Targets Lady Gaga With 'Express Yourself'/ 'Born This Way' Mashup

Pop Queen's inclusion of lines from her 'She's Not Me' makes medley seem more like dig than tribute.
By John Mitchell


Madonna

Madonna's diva rivalry with Lady Gaga may be taken up a notch when her MDNA tour kicks off Thursday at Tel Aviv, Israel's Ramat Gan Stadium. In new rehearsal footage, the 53-year-old legend is seen singing a mashup of her "Express Yourself" and Gaga's "Born This Way" that concludes with a few lines from Madonna's copycat-shaming "She's Not Me."

Last year, when Lady Gaga released her hit single "Born This Way," controversy erupted over the song's similarity to Madonna's "Express Yourself." (Never mind that much of the resemblance is rooted in both songs' use of a pretty common disco chord progression.) At first, things seemed cool between the two singers. They'd always gotten along publicly, and Gaga told Jay Leno that M's camp reached out to say all was well in the diva-verse with regard to the songs' similarities (something later denied by Madonna's people).

The whole thing appeared to have blown over until earlier this year, when Madonna was promoting her movie "W.E." and her Super Bowl halftime performance during an ABC News interview. Madonna was asked what she thought of the comparisons, and in response she called Lady Gaga "reductive."

Gaga's been pretty quiet throughout, but it's hard not to wonder if she'll stay that way once word of this latest swipe makes its way to her ears. (Gaga is currently in Asia on her tour, and she was recently forced to cancel a planned show in Indonesia after receiving threats from fundamentalist Islamic groups in the country.)

New leaked footage from rehearsals for Madonna's own road show showcases a reportedly planned mashup of "Express Yourself" and "Born This Way," and while the resemblance between the two songs remains as striking as ever, that's not the real story. Just those two songs layered together could have been fun: The two stars certainly have overlapping fanbases, who no doubt would have delighted in the winking acknowledgement of M's influence on Gaga. But Madonna complicates things by concluding the medley with a few lines from her Hard Candy track "She's Not Me," a song about Madonna being emulated by another woman.

The inclusion of "She's Not Me" makes the medley seem like yet another scathing dig at Gaga. It's unknown whether Madonna was just goofing around during rehearsals or whether she plans to include that final digging refrain throughout her tour.

Is Madonna taking things too far, or are we misreading things? Good-natured ribbing or mean-spirited digging? You tell us in the comments below!

IMF tells Ukraine to hike gas bills for households

(AP) ? The International Monetary fund has told Ukraine it must raise gas and heating prices for households if it is to regain access to a $15.6 bailout loan from the fund.

The government of President Viktor Yanukovych has been reluctant to make the unpopular move ahead of parliamentary elections in October. That led the IMF to freeze the bailout program last spring.

The head of the IMF mission to Ukraine, Chris Jarvis, notes Ukrainian families currently pay one-fifth of the import price for natural gas.

He told reporters on Monday that the Fund will resume talks only after "some actions from the government."

Ukraine is hoping to get a price discount for Russian natural gas, but talks with Moscow have been unsuccessful so far.

Harry declares the Constitution is just a ?fig leaf? for the GOP to hide behind

Leave it to Harry Reid to call the Constitution a ?hyper-technical? issue and a ?fig leaf? for Republicans to hide behind.

Since this a day of the week that ends in ?y,? Harry is railing about Republican obstructionism of this bill and that bill, but he seems especially miffed about the blockage of the Violence Against Women Act ? where Congress finds the enumerated power to usurp the police powers of the states to pick and choose which crime victims take precedent is another matter entirely.

On his website, Reid notes both the House and the Senate have passed versions of the reauthorization of the VAWA but the House Republicans refused to take the bills to conference.

Harry Reid on May 22. Is he showing how big the fig leaf is?

?Their excuse ? a hyper-technical budget issue called a blue slip ? isn?t much of a fig leaf to hide their blatant obstruction,? Reid states. ?The truth is Republicans are looking for any excuse to stall or kill this worthy legislation. And American women aren?t fooled.?

The blue slip to which Harry refers is merely the House GOP?s way of throwing a penalty flag on Harry?s Senate version of the bill because it includes a provision to pay for the bill by adding a $30 fee on immigrant visas.

But Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution?s Origination Clause says, ?All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives ?? So, the Senate version violates the Constitution.

In Federalist Paper No. 58, James Madison explained that this provision was to assure the power to tax resides solely with the representative closest to the people, those representatives who are apportioned by population, not by state.

He wrote:

?The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of government. They, in a word, hold the purse that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.?

Michael Franc, writing at National Review Online, notes the VAWA is not the only bill Reid is pushing while circumventing the Origination Clause. There is also the Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012, which basically legislates the Buffett Rule.

?Why let a little thing like the Constitution stand in the way of making sure a red-meat, eat-the-rich proposal like this gets maximum media exposure during an election year?? Franc asks.

As is my custom with most things constitutional, I turned to my handy copy of Seth Lipsky?s ?The Citizens Constitution: An Annotated Guide.?

He notes that the Origination Clause was a major issue at the Constitutional Convention with Elbridge Gerry saying ?taxation & representation are strongly associated in the minds of the people, and they will not agree that any but their immediate representatives shall meddle with their purses.?

Sen. Harry ?Meddle With Their Purses? Reid will have no truck with such hyper-technical language getting in the way of whatever he wants to do.

But, speaking of fig leaves, Lipsky tells us the courts have largely emasculated the Origination Clause, which was intended to make it more difficult and inconvenient to raise revenue, because, well, it made it too difficult and inconvenient to raise revenue.

Lipsky reports the Supreme Court rejected a suit in 1906 involving financing of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad even though the bill originated in the Senate. The court sniffed that ?whatever taxes are imposed are but means to the purposes provided by the act.? And more recent court rulings have allowed Senate bills to stand when the revenue raised is ?incidental.?

When a food safety bill ran into a similar Origination Clause roadblock, a New York Times blogger called it an ?arcane parliamentary mistake? and bemoaned the fact that ?Mr. Reid would have to spend the better part of a week cycling through procedural votes just to get the food safety bill back on the floor.?

Retirement redefined: Seniors share their housing stories | ABC ...

John and Zillah Erickson of Blaine intended to move to a senior apartment a few years ago because it was getting to be too much to maintain their house and property.

They put in new windows and painted the house to make it more attractive to buyers. The roof was replaced not too long ago.

Unfortunately, the housing market collapsed and their valuation significantly decreased.

?We?re pretty well stuck here right now until things straighten out,? John said. ?I don?t want to give the place away and go through the hassle of trying to sell it for a year.?

On the other hand, Jan and Art Blair three years ago were able to sell the Orono home they lived in for almost 40 years. They now live in the Historic Rum River District condominiums in Anoka. Jan loves that they are within easy walking distance of shopping and dining options and they can have a dog in their unit.

Don Howard moved to the Guardian Angels long-term care facility in Elk River last year. His wife Alice lives at the Realife Cooperative of Coon Rapids.

Don Howard moved to the Guardian Angels long-term care facility in Elk River last year. His wife Alice lives at the Realife Cooperative of Coon Rapids.

Alice and Don Howard downsized and moved to the Realife Cooperative of Coon Rapids in September 2003. A stroke ultimately made it necessary for Don to move to a Guardian Angels long-term care facility in Elk River. Alice commutes almost every day from Coon Rapids to Elk River and hopes that an option closer to home will present itself.

2010 Census statistics

Every senior citizen has a different set of circumstances that dictates where they reside, but 2010 Census data shows that many are still staying in owner-occupied homes.

According to the 2010 Census for the state of Minnesota, there were 343,355 owner-occupied homes in which the householder was a person age 65 or older. There were 87,360 females and 35,599 males in that age group that were living alone.

Jan and Art Blair downsized three years ago when they moved from Orono to a new condo building in Anoka.

Jan and Art Blair downsized three years ago when they moved from Orono to a new condo building in Anoka.

There were 100,270 rental units occupied by senior citizens, which includes 58,468 females and 20,032 males living on their own.

There were 33,675 seniors living in group quarters such as nursing homes during the 2010 Census study.

Jennifer Sorenson, executive director of the Minnesota HomeCare Association, said the trend is that seniors want to age in their homes, so home care options to make this possible comes into play. There are many options depending on what level of care is needed. There are personal care attendants to help with low-level needs and there are registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists that can help with higher needs. A person?s personal physician and county human services departments are good resources for help in finding out more about what is out there.

According to Andi Egbert of the Minnesota State Demographic Center, the office projects population, but does not project how many seniors are still expected to be living in their homes by 2035. There are a lot of factors such as the economy, a person?s income and availability of housing that makes it difficult to speculate.

Living at home

The Ericksons have lived in their Blaine home since 1977. They once had about 6.8 acres but have sold about half of that over the past 15 years for neighboring housing developments.

John Erickson was diagnosed with a type of bone marrow cancer six to seven years ago and has been going through treatment since then. One of his kidneys had to be removed because of the cancer. He needs a new left knee. Zillah Erickson had a kidney transplant almost five years ago.

Although they would like to downsize, they still love their home. Zillah said the neighbors are great and the family is able to helps them out with household chores. There is an over 500-foot buffer and a lot of trees Erickson planted in the back yard about 35 years ago that provides a buffer between them and the newer homes. They have an elevated deck to enjoy this private setting and to watch birds and squirrels go to the bird feeders or the heated bird bath.

They also appreciate being close to a lot of retail and dining options and the police station. They looked at The Willows of Ham Lake while shopping for a senior apartment a few years, for example, but this location and others they looked at were too far from shopping and dining for their taste.

?At some point in time you may not be able to drive, and you want to be near public transportation,? John said.

Downsizing

The Blairs were at the point about three years ago where they did not want to maintain their home and big yard in rural Orono in the southwest metro. They also wanted to be closer to retail and dining options. Many senior development options they looked at in communities like Maple Grove and Rogers were in areas where walking to these locations would be difficult, Jan said.

They were familiar with Anoka because they drove through the area to get to their cabin in northern Minnesota. They heard about a new multi-level condo being proposed and reserved a unit before the facility was completed.

?I liked the idea of moving into a town where we could walk to anything we want,? Jan said.

It took two years to sell their Orono home and they had to reduce the listing price, but Jan said the move was well worth it. They let their kids decide what items to take from the old house. Everything else they did not need was donated, sold or thrown away.

Jan said the condo building in Anoka has many community events. There are game nights, potluck dinners, coffee parties and much more. The community room is available at any time an activity is not planned. There is a library, an exercise room with a few pieces of equipment and underground parking. A five-person condominium board consists of people who live in the building. Jan is the board secretary. They hire a management company to oversee building operations and maintenance.

Long-term care

Don Howard had a stroke 22 years ago at the age of 59, just about six months after he retired from Honeywell. He was able to recover and do the daily activities he had done before the stroke.

Even after Don and Alice Howard moved to Realife in Coon Rapids he was fine, but Jan said her husband started having seizures in the years to come that took their toll. In March 2011, he had a second stroke.

He went to Camilia Rose in Coon Rapids for rehabilitation between March and May 2011 and then moved back to Realife with his wife. They hired certified nursing assistants (CNAs), they purchased a lift and other equipment to make it possible for Don to stay at home. He went through physical and occupational therapy.

After he fell in July 2011, doctors at the hospital recommended that Don move to a long-term care facility where people could help him around the clock. The doctor told them Don could stay in the hospital for three days, but then they would have to find another arrangement.

Alice wanted Don to stay close to home, but the closest vacancy they could find was at the Guardian Angels facility in Elk River. She has been very impressed with the facility because of the staff and the amenities. Chapel service, coffee time, oil painting classes, rehabilitation and exercise classes, game times, reading groups and baking classes are just several examples of activities that take place. There is a gift shop and dining room area where residents and their friends and family can go to if they want an alternative dining option.

Although she likes the facility, Alice hopes a vacancy opens up closer to Realife so she can cut down on her almost daily commute.

Long-term care is not cheap. Alice said it costs about $5,800 a month. She did not notice much of a price difference between Guardian Angels and other facilities she looked at.

?I think down the road, long-term care insurance is going to become almost a necessity,? Alice said.

Don did not have long-term care insurance because they could not afford it, she said.

Anche AirFloat rimossa da App Store: Apple stringe sulle API private

Dopo l?eliminazione dallo store di AirFoil, oggi Apple cancella dal proprio catalogo AirFloat, un?app che svolgeva pi? o meno i suoi stessi compiti, permettendo di trasformare il proprio iDevice in un ricevitore di musica in streaming via AirPlay.

Pur continuando a pensare che forse in iOS 6 vedremo una funzionalit? simile, John Gruber su Daring Fireball prova a dare una spiegazione pi? realista e in termini legali: le due app in oggetto utilizzavano API provate per poter ricevere il segnale audio da altri dispositivi, visto che Apple non fornisce alcuna indicazione per implementare tale funzionalit?.

L?accordo che Cupertino sottoscrive con gli sviluppatori prevede che le app che utilizzano API private e, quindi, non ufficialmente documentate, vengano eliminate o non accettate su App Store.
Ricordo, per?, quando Google nel 2007 (quando Android non era ancora nato) rilasci? la sua prima app per la ricerca per iOS, integrando una funzione di vocal search a-l? Siri, che si attivava semplicemente portando il telefono all?orecchio: l?API che permetteva lo sfruttamento del sensore di prossimit? era, all?epoca dei fatti, privata, eppure l?app di Google non fu mai rimossa dallo Store: a volte l?essere un colosso dell?informatica amico di chi decide se un software possa essere installato o no ha i suoi vantaggi.

50 years on, fire still burns underneath Pa. town

CENTRALIA, Pa. (AP) ? It's an anniversary the few remaining souls who live here won't be celebrating.

Fifty years ago on Sunday, a fire at the town dump ignited an exposed coal seam, setting off a chain of events that eventually led to the demolition of nearly every building in Centralia ? a whole community of 1,400 simply gone.

All these decades later, the Centralia fire still burns. It also maintains its grip on the popular imagination, drawing visitors from around the world who come to gawk at twisted, buckled Route 61, at the sulfurous steam rising intermittently from ground that's warm to the touch, at the empty, lonely streets where nature has reclaimed what coal-industry money once built.

It's a macabre story that has long provided fodder for books, movies and plays ? the latest one debuting in March at a theater in New York.

Yet to the handful of residents who still occupy Centralia, who keep their houses tidy and their lawns mowed, this borough in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania is no sideshow attraction. It's home, and they'd like to keep it that way.

"That's all anybody wanted from day one," said Tom Hynoski, who's among the plaintiffs in a federal civil rights lawsuit aimed at blocking the state of Pennsylvania from evicting them.

Centralia was already a coal-mining town in decline when the fire department set the town's landfill ablaze on May 27, 1962, in an ill-fated attempt to tidy up for Memorial Day. The fire wound up igniting the coal outcropping and, over the years, spread to the vast network of mines beneath homes and businesses, threatening residents with poisonous gases and dangerous sinkholes.

After a contentious battle over the future of the town, the side that wanted to evacuate won out. By the end of the 1980s, more than 1,000 people had moved and 500 structures demolished under a $42 million federal relocation program.

But some holdouts refused to go ? even after their houses were seized through eminent domain in the early 1990s. They said the fire posed little danger to their part of town, accused government officials and mining companies of a plot to grab the rights to billions of dollars' worth of anthracite coal, and vowed to stay put.

After years of letting them be, state officials decided a few years ago to take possession of the homes. The state Department of Community and Economic Development said Friday it's in negotiations with one of the five remaining homeowners; the others are continuing to resist, pleading their case in federal court.

Residents say the state has better things to spend its money on. A handwritten sign along the road blasts Gov. Tom Corbett, the latest chief executive to inherit a mess that goes back decades.

"You and your staff are making budget cuts everywhere," the sign says. "How can you allow (the state) to waste money trying to force these residents out of their homes? These people want to pay their taxes and be left alone and live where they choose!"

Whether it's safe to live there is subject to debate.

Tim Altares, a geologist with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, said that while temperatures in monitoring boreholes are down ? possibly indicating the fire has followed the coal seam deeper underground ? the blaze still poses a threat because it has the potential to open up new paths for deadly gases to reach the remaining homes.

"It's very difficult to quantify the threat, but the major threat would be infiltration of the fire gases into the confined space of a residential living area. That was true from the very beginning and will remain true even after the fire moves out of the area," Altares said.

Nonsense, say residents who point out they've lived for decades without incident.

Carl Womer, 88, whose late wife, Helen, was the leader of a faction that fiercely resisted the government buyout, disagrees the fire poses any threat.

"What mine fire?" Womer asked dismissively as he hosed down his front porch, preparing, he said, for a Memorial Day picnic. "If you go up and see a fire, you come back and tell me."

Author and journalist David DeKok, who's been writing about Centralia for more than 30 years, said that while he believes Womer's house is too close to the fire to safely live there, Hynoski and his neighbors are far enough away.

"I don't think there's any great public safety problem in letting those people stay there," said DeKok, author of "Fire Underground," a book on the town.

Many former residents, meanwhile, prefer to talk about the good times, their nostalgia taking on a decidedly golden hue.

"I loved it. I always liked Centralia from the time I was old enough to understand what it was," said Mary Chapman, 72, who left in 1986 but returns once a month to the social club at the Centralia fire company.

"If you came out of your house and you couldn't get your car started, the neighbor would come out and he'd help you. You didn't even have to ask," Chapman continued. "Of course the neighbors knew your business, but they also were there to help you, too."

First video taken with Google Glasses shared

2 hrs.

Google has publicly unveiled new photos and the first video from the real view of their augmented reality glasses prototype. The images show what the wearer sees while reading a newspaper, catching a football in the backyard and helping a smiling child play on the jungle gym.

Such views don't necessarily represent anything people haven't seen before with head-mounted portable cameras. But they do hint at how Google Glasses could enable many people beyond geeky life-casters to capture a diverse array of moments in their lives ? the video shows the bouncy viewpoint of the Google Glasses wearer doing flips on a trampoline.

Google tech lead Max Braun showed off the photos and video at the Google + Photographer's Conference on May 23.

The Internet search giant has yet to show off real images or photos of how the glasses could seamlessly integrate virtual information with what a person sees in the real world. Its earlier unveiling of "Project Glass" included a concept video that imagined a wearer getting social calendar reminders and map directions in his field of view.

Still, many members of the public still seem enthusiastic about just having a pair of glasses with a small camera attached. One of the top comments on the YouTube video of the trampoline jumping simply stated "Shut up and take my money!"

The most popular comment of all had a perhaps tongue-in-cheek suggestion for using the Google Glasses ? "Good for POV [point-of-view] porn."

Putting Together Your Direct Marketing Mailing List

Decades ago, marketing was usually about trying to reach as many people as possible, and while this worked for certain businesses, others found that it cost them too much money and didn?t produce the results that they were looking for. These days, if you intend on advertising to potential clients, you will have to compile a direct marketing mailing list that you will use on a regular basis. The trick to putting together an efficient and effective direct marketing mailing list is to locate your target market and begin advertising solely to this group of people.

?

A target market is the part of the population that will be most likely to purchase your products and services. If you are selling software, for instance, you will want to compile a direct marketing mailing list that will include people who make use of computers on a regular basis.

Over time, you might want to refine this list even further to include only those people who will be most likely to purchase the specific type of software that you sell, but this will take a lot of research and quite a sum of money to put together.

?

Since most people have no idea about how to compile an efficient direct marketing mailing list, it might be a good idea to turn to the professionals for assistance. Companies that specialize in these services usually have the resources and the experience necessary to make their way into the market and determine which individuals are most likely to make use of the products and services you have to offer; they might not always be precise with their calculations, but this could end up drastically improving your profits in the long run.

?

By wasting fewer resources and advertising to specific types of people, you will find that you can get more out of every investment that you make into marketing, and these days, no company can do without it. If you are planning on developing your business to its full potential, you simply need to get the professionals on your side to assist you with this, or you could end up wasting valuable resources on lost causes. Taking the time to choose a company to compile your direct marketing mailing list might be time consuming, but in the long run, you will benefit so much from this decision that it will be more than worth your while.

Red Sox top O's, climb back to .500

By DAVID GINSBURG

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 3:16 p.m. ET May 23, 2012

BALTIMORE (AP) - Daniel Nava and Kelly Shoppach hit sixth-inning homers to turn a tie game in Boston's favor, and the Red Sox withstood two home runs by Nick Johnson in a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Scott Podsednik also homered for the Red Sox, who climbed back to .500 (22-22) with their 10th win in 13 games. Boston took two of three from the Orioles, who were seeking to win a fourth straight series against the Red Sox for the first time since 1960.

It was 2-all in the sixth before Nava, the No. 7 hitter in the order, drove a 2-0 pitch from Jake Arreita (2-5) over the right-field wall. Podsednik followed with a single, and No. 9 hitter Shoppach greeted Luis Ayala with a drive to left.

Nava and Shoppach each doubled his home run total for the season; the pair also connected on May 14 against Seattle.

Johnson's second homer of the game, against Andrew Miller with a man on in the sixth, got Baltimore to 5-4. But Podsednik hit a solo shot in the eighth for a two-run cushion.

Acquired from Philadelphia on May 11 and summoned from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, Podsednik got two hits in his first start with Boston.

Wilson Betemit hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth off Vicente Padilla, and Alfredo Aceves got four straight outs for his 11th save in 13 chances.

Red Sox starter Daniel Bard (4-5) allowed two runs, five hits and four walks in 5 1-3 innings.

Johnson's first multihomer game since May 28, 2006, was not enough to prevent the first-place Orioles from losing for the third time in four games. With the potential tying run on second base in the eighth, Johnson ended the inning with a strikeout.

Arrieta gave up four runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. He's winless in four starts since May 2.

Baltimore used the speed of leadoff hitter Xavier Avery to take a 1-0 lead in the first. Avery beat out a chopper in front of the plate, went to second on a single by Robert Andino and worked his way home by tagging up on two short fly balls, the last by Chris Davis.

Boston loaded the bases with no outs in the second but scored only one run, on a double-play grounder by Podsednik.

Johnson hit a drive into the right-field seats to start the bottom half, only the third home run allowed by Bard in eight starts this season.

Boston tied it at 2 in the third on a run-scoring double by Will Middlebrooks, but Kevin Youkilis was thrown out trying to score from first base on the two-out hit.

NOTES: Both teams have Thursday off after playing 20 straight days without a break. Boston went 11-9. "I couldn't be more happy with the way the guys have reacted to all this stuff - the schedule, the travel, the injuries, the weather," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said before the game. Baltimore went 12-8 over the same stretch. ... Orioles LHP Zach Britton (shoulder) is set to begin his minor league rehabilitation assignment Saturday with Double-A Bowie. ... Baltimore's Adam Jones extended his career-best hitting streak to 15 games. ... RHP Dylan Bundy, the Orioles' top amateur draft pick in 2011, was promoted to Class A Frederick from Class A Delmarva, where he went eight starts without giving up an earned run.

Springtime is here and that means many pests will start crawling out of there winter hiding spots around your home. Good news is that many people are also in spring cleaning mode, and that is the perfect time to take care of those pests.

You can practice proactive pest management when you go about your spring cleaning by keeping an eye out for signs of infestations. You should get in contact with a pest control service if you detect any of these pest infestation signs for a more thorough home inspection.

Areas of the Home to Inspect for Pests

Though you should pay close attention when cleaning your home for any sign of a pest infestation, there are certain areas of your home that are particularly attractive to them. Here are the rooms to perform an extra-thorough examination in:

Kitchen. Dirty dishes, hidden crumbs and stored food items are food sources for a bunch of pests including ants, rodents, meal moths, and other common pantry invaders.

Bedrooms. This is a common site for infestations, especially for bed bugs.

Storage spaces. Storage areas including closets, attics, crawl spaces, basements, and garages are perfect hiding and nesting places for pests.

Common Signs of a Pest Infestation

Here are some common pest infestation red flags to keep an eye out for:

Gnawed food packaging. If your food packaging has been torn, scratched or shredded, that could indicate that pests have been there. Throw away food that has been tampered with and get in contact with a pest control service. Then make sure to transfer clean pantry goods into airtight glass or plastic containers to prevent further infestations.

Droppings. Pests are very clever at hiding, which means that their droppings will also appear in out-of-the-way places. Make sure when you are cleaning to get into all the nooks and crannies and keep an eye out for rodent pellets, urine stains and other signs of pest droppings which mean there are invaders around. Upon finding pest excrement, call a pest management professional to handle the cleanup as the droppings can transmit diseases, such as the Hanta virus.

Nesting materials. Bits of shredded paper, fabric, or insulation are signs that rodents or larger pests have been nesting in your home.

Unusual holes or sawdust piles. Small piles of sawdust, powdery residue near woodwork in your home, loose trim, sagging floors, mud tubes, and blistered or wavy wood may indicate that your home is being attacked by wood-destroying insects, such as carpenter ants. If you find this, call a pest control service immediately because these invaders can be causing structural damage to your home.

Dried blood flecks. Bed bugs thrive on the blood of their victims and leave feces around that look like tiny blood spots. If you see these small, brown flecks on your bedding, walls or furniture, especially in your bedroom, consider getting in contact with a pest management firm to come inspect your home for bed bugs.

Wings or carcasses. Though it's normal to find the occasional insect carcass or wings around your home, if you find them in multiple locations while cleaning, or a large concentration of them in a particular area of your home, you may have an infestation on your hands.

The best thing to do if you encounter signs of an infestation is to have a pest control service inspect your home to correctly identify the pest. Pest management professionals can then recommend the most effective course of action.

OECD warns eurozone crisis stunting global recovery

Europe came under mounting pressure Tuesday to take action to boost growth as the OECD warned the eurozone crisis has worsened and poses the most serious risk to a recovery for the global economy.

On the eve of a European summit, the head of the International Monetary Fund added her voice to the clamour for decisive moves after US President Barack Obama called for more coordination.

Underlining the woes of the 17-nation bloc which uses the single currency, struggling Spain saw its borrowing costs surge as it raised 2.526 billion euros ($3.2 billion) in a debt auction.

Japan, another country mired in debt, was hit by a double downgrade to its credit rating, although the OECD predicted that its rival China was headed for an acceleration of its growth.

In its latest report, the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation held its forecast for global growth this year steady at 3.4 percent.

But it lowered its outlook for the eurozone to a 0.1 percent contraction, urging more easing of monetary policy and euro-wide measures to boost growth.

"The crisis in the euro area has become more serious recently, and it remains the most important source of risk to the global economy," OECD chief economist Pier Carlo Padoan warned.

The policy forum of 34 advanced economies forecasts global growth will pick up to 4.2 percent in 2013 and 0.9 percent in the eurozone, provided it contains the debt crisis.

While the eurozone gained some breathing space at the beginning of the year from the European Central Bank pumping over a trillion euros into banks, tensions have soared in recent weeks after inconclusive elections raised the spectre of a Greek exit from the euro after an indecisive May 6 election.

There is no guarantee Greeks will elect next month parties committed to pursuing austerity policies required under its massive international bailout and key to keeping it in the euro.

"Elections in a number of euro area countries have signalled that reform fatigue is increasing and tolerance for fiscal adjustment may be reaching a limit," noted Padoan.

Recession, "rising unemployment and social pain may spark political contagion and adverse market reaction" with countries outside the eurozone also at risk of being hit, he added.

The OECD forecast eurozone unemployment to rise to 10.8 percent this year and 11.1 percent next.

There was more gloomy data from the International Labour Organization which said nearly 75 million youths or 12.7 percent of people aged 15 to 24 would be out of work this year, up from 12.6 percent in 2011.

With EU leaders meeting in Brussels Wednesday to contemplate measures to boost growth, the OECD said "credibility and confidence would be enhanced by euro area and EU-wide measures".

Speaking in London, IMF chief Christine Lagarde said the eurozone had made a "serious improvement" in dealing with its crisis but "more needs to be done in relation to supporting growth, particularly by way of structural reforms."

Analysts say structural reforms could eventually add several percentage points of growth, but are often politically difficult to undertake and the results take years to appear.

New French President Francois Hollande has called for a growth pact to complement the EU fiscal pact, pitting him against German Chancellor Angela Merkel who has pushed for euro nations to pursue austerity policies.

Merkel said Tuesday she found it "astonishing" that her drive for European governments to balance their budgets has provoked such a debate.

The current discussion in Europe and even beyond its borders "gives the impression that, for us, saving, as such, is pleasurable," Merkel said.

"It's just about not spending more than you collect. It's astonishing that this simple fact leads to such debates."

Obama said Europe's leaders needed to be on the same page.

"What is most important is that Europe recognises this euro project involves more than a currency, it means that there must be more effective coordination" on fiscal and growth policies, he said late Monday.

"We have offered to be there for consultation, to provide any technical assistance and work through some of these ideas in terms of how we can stabilise the markets there."

The OECD bumped up its forecast for US economic growth this year to 2.4 percent from 2.0 percent, and sees 2.6 percent growth in 2013 provided it doesn't cut government spending too sharply and monetary policy remains loose.

Japan should see 2.0 percent growth this year with the OECD trimming its forecast for 2013 to 1.5 percent.

However Fitch cut its credit rating by two notches, citing "growing risks for Japan's sovereign credit profile as a result of high and rising public debt ratios."

Japan has an eye-popping national debt that amounts to more than twice its gross domestic product, the highest among industrialised nations.

There was better news for China as the OECD predicted the world's second biggest economy should post 8.2 percent growth this year and 9.3 percent in 2013.
