<br />
Or is it?<br />

<br />
Despite Watson's tremendous performance, the Final Jeopardy question at the end of Tuesday night's airing revealed the Achilles' heel that computer scientists have known all along: Watson doesn't really "think" anything, and it struggles with simple questions that most humans can answer without a second thought.<br />
<br />
Most of the clues on the "Jeopardy" board mention proper nouns -- specific places, events, people, songs, books and so on, says Dr. Douglas Lenat, a machine learning pioneer, former Stanford professor of computer science and CEO of Cycorp, a company that develops semantic technologies.<br />
<br />
"This gives the Watson algorithm a great deal of 'traction.' To us viewing the show, it's impressive if it correctly knows that Franz Schubert's birth date was January 31, 1797. But if that date had been part of the clue, could Watson correctly pick out [Schubert's] maternal grandmother's birth date from a list where only one of the dates was earlier than 1797?"<br />
<br />
We could, because we understand that everyone is younger than their own mother and grandmother, but Watson is unable to understand this, Lenat explained.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day, Watson is not really conceptualizing a clue's meaning. It simply number-crunches its way to the right answers by comparing vast amounts of data. This is why it dominates the "fill in the blank" knowledge clues (Aeolic, spoken in ancient times, was a dialect of this), but falters on some more "common sense" deductions.<br />
<br />
The biggest blunder was in the first game's Final Jeopardy round.<br />
<br />

<br />
Lenat broke down IBM's explanation of why Watson guessed "Toronto?" to the clue in the category of "U.S. Cities:" "Namely, the string 'U.S.' often appears in articles near the word 'America,' which appears often near the phrases 'North American' and 'American League,' and so on, all the way to the word 'Toronto.' "<br />
<br />
As Dave Ferrucci of IBM Research says, this points out the limitations of relying so heavily on statistical reasoning. The result, as in Watson's case, is akin to a human autistic savant."<br />
<br />
"Jeopardy!" is challenging because the clues are esoteric. No one would watch a battle of common sense.<br />
<br />
But Lenat notes that a question like "If a snowman melts and later refreezes, does it turn back into a snowman?" would be nearly impossible for a statistical reasoning program to tackle. You can't answer it by calculating how many times "snowman" appears next to "melt" and "refreeze" in every article and book ever written.<br />
<br />
Not so hot now, are you Watson?<br />
<br />
Last week, I interviewed Stephen Baker, a journalist with unfettered access to Watson's development at IBM. I asked him about people's concern that computers with natural language capabilities could replace members of the work force.<br />
<br />
"People have good reason to worry about machines supplanting them," Baker said. "That's what technology does. Tractors, forklifts, word-processing software, they all took away jobs. And people, with their creative minds, have used them throughout history to figure out where the next jobs will be."<br />
<br />
And like its forebears, Watson's eventual commercial incarnation will be a tool, not a human replacement. Lenat thinks of Watson or Deep Blue or even the steam-powered hammer that bested John Henry in American folklore as an "impressive demonstration that a certain task can, despite popular intuition at the time, be performed better by a machine."<br />
<br />
Watson's natural language abilities might make it a good candidate for work in call centers, where it could interpret customers' needs and direct them to the right information (or people) via conversation.<br />
<br />
There's also been discussion of how Watson could be used in medicine to cross reference a patient's symptoms with compendiums of digitized medical journals and data -- a sort of statistical second opinion to a doctor's professional experience.<br />
<br />
But because Watson is only a "statistical brain," and not an analytical one, don't expect to see it managing your HR department or running a daycare facility anytime soon.<br />
<br />
We'll still be getting up early and trudging off to do those jobs for the foreseeable future. Thanks for nothing, IBM.<br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Some said she was the ultimate gold-digger and for many she became a figure of fun.<br />
<br />
When she died of an overdose in 2007 it made news around the world.<br />
<br />
Now, her life is the basis of a new opera in London.<br />
<br />
Three years ago, the Royal Opera House approached composer Mark-Anthony Turnage to write a new work.<br />
<br />
Few composers would turn down the chance to play with Covent Garden's huge resources, but the small matter remained of finding a subject.<br />
<br />
The Opera House had already said it favoured a contemporary story with a touch of humour but nothing really coalesced until Turnage met Richard Thomas, co-author of Jerry Springer: the Opera. <br />
<br />
The two men discussed topics and eventually alighted on one they both found interesting: the short life and early death of Smith.<br />
<br />
Elaine Padmore, Covent Garden's director of opera, liked the idea but knew a piece depicting actual named people needed handling with sensitivity.<br />
<br />
"Much of Anna Nicole's life is in the public domain, there's masses of stuff on Google.<br />
<br />
"But we've had lawyers working with us from the beginning about every aspect of the way it looks and the words we use."<br />
<br />
Covent Garden was unusually wary about giving journalists and critics access to the project as it developed, but is confident the show is legally watertight.<br />
<br />
All this contrasts with the high-profile poster campaign for the opera, showing the Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westerbroek glamorously made up as the star.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>'Tough life:</b> For now there are only six performances in London but international interest has been great and it is hoped the opera will be seen elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Turnage and Thomas have been doing their best to concentrate on writing a modern opera on a demanding theme aimed at a broad audience - a pretty tough commission even without the legal considerations.<br />
<br />
"But it's an opera not a documentary," says Thomas.<br />
<br />
"As soon as you put someone on stage and musicalise them, you're also mythologising them. Anna Nicole was already a totally larger-than-life personality."<br />
<br />
Turnage, composer of Greek and The Silver Tassie, stresses the work is basically sympathetic to its central character.<br />
<br />
"We don't trash her. People might think we're just taking the mickey out of her at Covent Garden. But we show she had a tough life and came from a very poor background".<br />
<br />
Turnage says choosing a US topic had two big advantages.<br />
<br />
"She was global in a way that, say, Jade Goody in Britain wasn't. Also, for me as a composer, it conjures up a sound world of American music. I'm a big jazz fan for instance and wanted to explore that."<br />
<br />
"I've used Peter Erskine, a great jazz drummer, and the guitarist John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin. There are references to jazz, to soul music, to Broadway musicals. It's quite a hybrid." <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12503461" target="_blank">Continue to read</a>Rashel Sharwarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15687786701942892649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186674179416984791.post-24287391146510280222011-02-17T07:10:00.000-08:002011-02-17T07:10:23.153-08:00Apple's Steve Jobs to Attend Barack Obama MeetingWASHINGTON (Reuters) – Apple Inc Chief Executive Steve Jobs will attend a meeting in California on Thursday with President Barack Obama, a source familiar with the meeting said.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, General Electric Co Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt, Google Inc Chief Executive Eric Schmidt will also attend the meeting, the source told Reuters.<br />
<br />
The timing of the meeting coincides with a report in the National Enquirer with pictures purporting to be of a thin Jobs arriving at the Stanford Cancer Center. The report is unverified.<br />
<br />
The report cites doctors, who are not treating Jobs, saying he has six weeks to live based on the photos.<br />
<br />
Shares of Apple slipped 1 percent in premarket trade.<br />
<br />
Obama is flying to San Francisco later on Thursday. In California, he is meeting with a number of business leaders in technology and innovation at a private residence, the White House said.<br />
<br />
The White House has been pushing lately to improve its relations with the business community. Since his fellow Democrats were routed in mid-term elections in November, the president has been making a concerted effort to heal a rift with the U.S. corporate community.<br />
<br />
Thursday's meeting will address issues including how to strengthen the U.S. economy, support entrepreneurship and generate jobs in the United States, the White House said.<br />

NEW YORK (AP) – Note to self: Never play "Jeopardy!" with a supercomputer.<br />
<br />
That's a useful lesson for me or any mortal who has followed the Man vs. Machine faceoff this week on the popular trivia game show, where on Wednesday the second of two exhibition matches sealed the deal: Watson, the IBM-created megabrain, officially buried his flesh-and-blood opponents, veteran "Jeopardy!" champs Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Watson's winning score was $41,413 for the day ($77,147 for both games), while Jennings notched $19,200 ($24,000 overall) and Rutter reached $11,200 ($21,600 overall).<br />
<br />
For crushing his rivals, Watson gets a total prize of $1 million, which IBM has said will go to the charities World Vision and World Community Grid.<br />
<br />
The vanquished Jennings and Rutter get $300,000 and $200,000, respectively, half of which each said they would be donating to charities.<br />
<br />
"I for one welcome our new computer overlords," Jennings wrote alongside his correct Final Jeopardy response ("Dracula" author Bram Stoker), apparently trading on a line from "The Simpsons." Clearly Jennings is a good sport with a sense of humor.<br />
<br />
But where does this leave viewers? Me, I'll take Mixed Emotions for a thousand, Alex.<br />
<br />
Watching this week's clash, I was reminded of the legend of John Henry, the folk hero from a bygone century who was born with a hammer in his hand and raced against a mechanized, steam-powered drill. He won that race. Then, having made his point, he died of exhaustion.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, neither Jennings nor Rutter expired from mental exertion. Nor did they beat the machine.<br />
<br />
But these humans put up a fight. Unlike Tuesday, when Watson breezed through most of the half-hour, on Wednesday he seemed distracted, not quite on his game, while his opponents jumped in with correct responses such as Ikea, Robert De Niro, and F1 (the computer that is also the abbreviation for Grand Prix auto racing).<br />
<br />
Watson also seemed ill-equipped for the "One Buck or Less" category (maybe he should shop more).<br />
But nothing could stop him.<br />
<br />
Watching these "Jeopardy!" episodes, I thought of one of cinema's most devilish control freaks, HAL the computer from the sci-fi masterpiece, "2001: A Space Odyssey." I wondered what Watson, seemingly so genial as he played the game, would have said had someone ordered him to "open the pod bay doors."<br />
<br />
"I'm sorry, Alex. I'm afraid I can't do that," Watson might have replied as he went psycho.<br />
Meanwhile, this contest fed my suspicion that longtime "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek might actually be a kindred spirit of Watson. Isn't there something pleasantly robotic about Trebek's on-air style? Was he, too, born at IBM?<br />
<br />
Granted, watching Watson's instant, often flawless command of information was inspiring, especially for someone like me, who often can't even remember where I set my reading glasses.<br />
The occasions when he stumbled only made him more endearing — almost human.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday's show, Watson blew Final Jeopardy, whose clue was: "Its largest airport is named for a World War II hero; its second largest, for a World War II battle."<br />
<br />
Both Rutter and Jennings knew the right response was Chicago. Watson somehow came up with Toronto.<br />
<br />
And, although usually a literary whiz, he was flummoxed by a Double Jeopardy question on Wednesday. His response: Dorothy Parker. Correct response: "The Elements of Style."<br />
<br />
It was fun to see Watson jump the tracks. And it was fun to see him recover the next moment, as if nothing had happened. Right or wrong, Watson (named for IBM founder Thomas J. Watson) never lost his composure.<br />
<br />
And mostly he ruled, proving himself conversant in subjects as far-flung as leprosy and Franz Liszt, the Olympics and hedgehogs.<br />
<br />
But as thrilling as it's been to watch Watson work, it's also been unnerving.<br />
<br />
Who wanted to see champs such as Rutter (the show's all-time money-winner with $3.25 million) sweat, or Jennings (who has the longest winning streak at 74 games) sidelined, radiating frustration!<br />
<br />
I had to wonder if the deck was stacked against them. The tournament, which was taped last month at the IBM research center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., obviously gave Watson the home field advantage. Watson doesn't travel, but still . a bit unfair?<br />
<br />
Now that the challenge is decided, I find consolation in remembering that Watson, the computer that trounced a pair of very smart humans, is himself the product of humans.<br />
<br />
But still, I can't get past a chilling thought that this digital know-it-all might have lots of other tricks up his sleeve. For example, after winning at "Jeopardy!" could Watson have sat down and wrote this story, instead of a human?<br />

Before its acquisition by Wells Fargo, Wachovia was the fourth largest bank holding company in the United States based on total assets. The purchase of Wachovia Corp. by Wells Fargo and Company was completed on December 31, 2008. Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia after a forced sale by the government to avoid a failure of Wachovia.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Starting in 2009, the brand is absorbed by the Wachovia brand Wells Fargo in a process that is initially expected to last three years. In July 2009, Wachovia Securities Wells Fargo became Advisors. The merger of Wachovia and Wells Fargo bank charters was completed March 20, 2010.<br />
<br />
As an independent company, Wachovia offers a wide range of banking, asset management, wealth management and banking products and investment and services (many of these sectors have been converted or are in the process of conversion, management and branding under Wells Fargo). At its peak, it was one of the largest providers of financial services in the United States, operating financial centers in 21 states and Washington, DC, with locations from Connecticut to Florida and west California. Wachovia provides global services through more than 40 offices worldwide.<br />
<br />
He served the retail brokerage clients under the name of Wachovia Securities nationally and in six Latin American countries, and clients of investment banking in selected industries nationwide. In 2009, Wachovia Securities was the first company to Wachovia converted to the Wells Fargo when the Company became Wells Fargo Advisors. Wachovia has also operated Calibre, its wealth management services to ultra high net worth families with net worth above 25 million. In 2010, the class has been renamed the Wells Fargo family heritage.<br />
<br />
Markets, equity and institutional firms and groups of investment banking services operate under the Wachovia Securities brand, while its asset management group operated under the name Evergreen Investments until 2010, when the fund family Evergreen merged with Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, institutional and high net worth products merged with Wells Capital Management and its affiliates.<br />
<br />
Wachovia’s private equity arm operated as Wachovia Capital Partners. In addition, the group lending based on assets under management as Wachovia Capital Finance.<br />

<br />
While Citigroup was providing liquidity to Wachovia, which allowed continuing operating, Wells Fargo and Wachovia announced October 3, 2008; they had agreed to merge in a stock transaction requiring no FDIC involvement, apparently to destroy Citigroup face. Wells Fargo announced it had agreed to acquire all of Wachovia for 15.1 billion in stock. Wachovia Wells Fargo preferred case, as it would be useful addition to the agreement and Citigroup kept its business intact. Also, there is much less overlap between the banks, like Wells Fargo is dominant in the West and Midwest over the footprint of redundant Wachovia and Citibank along the East Coast and South. Boards of both companies have unanimously approved the merger on the night of October 2.<br />
<br />
Citigroup to explore their legal options and demanded that Wachovia and Wells Fargo cease discussions, saying that Wells Fargo engaged in “tortious interference” with an exclusivity agreement between Citigroup and Wachovia. The agreement states in part that, until October 6, 2008 “Wachovia is not and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries or its or their officers, directors, [...] [...] to take measures to facilitate or encourage the submission of any acquisition proposal. “.<br />
<br />
Citigroup convince Judge Charles E. Ramos of the New York State Supreme Court granted a preliminary injunction temporarily blocking Wells Fargo Case. Judge James M. McGuire of the New York State Court of Appeal later overturned this decision, in part because it believed that Ramos had no right to rule on the case in Connecticut.Rashel Sharwarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15687786701942892649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186674179416984791.post-12044437112641891572011-02-16T18:45:00.000-08:002011-02-16T18:48:12.810-08:00Wachovia Online Banking Services<b>Wachovia Online Banking Services:</b> Wachovia Bank NYSE:WB, Charlotte based, is one of the largest banking chains in the United State.

<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
At least two big shopping mall owners — Simon Group and General Growth Properties, which itself just emerged from bankruptcy protection –- have requested to appear in the Borders bankruptcy case, in order to represent their interests. (A reader points out that another real estate company, Agree Realty, has said about 27% of its annualized base rent comes from Borders Group.)<br />
<br />
General Growth also disclosed in a court filing that it is a landlord for three dozen Borders-owned stores, or more than 5% of the company’s total store count. Borders said it plans to close about 30% of its store network, though it hasn’t yet disclosed which ones.<br />
<br />
The bankruptcy process allows companies to break their onerous store leases, which have been a particular problem for Borders. The company’s lengthy leases has hamstrung the unprofitable book retailer. But while breaking leases is great for Borders, the moves also will be a big headache for the landlords.<br />
<br />
General Growth disclosed a list of stores for which Borders is a tenant. <b><a href="http://rashelsharwar.blogspot.com/2011/02/borders-store-closings-list-at-least.html" target="_blank">Here it is</a></b>.<br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rashel-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B000FC2PKG&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align:right;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;"align="right" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rashel-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002Y27P3M&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align:right;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;"align="right" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />
<br />
"I sort of felt like I wanted to win here as badly as I ever have before. This is like the dignity of the species," Jennings told CBS Evening News after the first night's show.<br />
<br />
So has the fatal day of reckoning arrived, foretold by Frankenstein, 2001: A Space Odyssey and, of course, The Terminator series of man-vs.-machine movies? Even trivia, one of humanity's favorite pursuits, has yielded to the mighty computer.<br />
<br />
What is "not so much"?, Alex.<br />
<br />
"It is clear (Watson) was designed to play Jeopardy! very well," says computer intelligence expert John Laird of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, both in its vast erudition — answering Saturday Night Live's "Church Lady" in one question — and its "impressive" accuracy. But, he adds, "I think IBM could have a challenge to move this to other fields."<br />
<br />
IBM is trying. Last week, the Armonk, N.Y.-based computer-services titan announced partnerships with eight universities, including MIT and the University of Texas, to explore new uses of Watson's "Deep Question" technology. The process lets Watson sift through and weigh its confidence in answers to complex questions. IBM's David Ferrucci says the company sees future uses for Watson in automating questions for health care and legal aid.<br />
<br />
But even amid Watson's triumph, some answers it blew point to problems, say experts such as machine-learning pioneer Douglas Lenat of Cycorp in Austin. "Like a human idiot savant, it would get wrong a large fraction of things that almost all sane adult humans would get right," Lenat says. "For instance, if the category were 'Uphill vs. Downhill,' and the clue was 'The direction that beer flows.' " (Watson doesn't understand gravity as a concept, and few documents it searches are likely to discuss the propensity of beer to flow downhill.)<br />
<br />
Then there was the "Final Jeopardy" question Tuesday in the "U.S. cities" category, answering which city had airports named for both a World War II hero and battle. Watson chose "Toronto???" instead of Chicago (O'Hare and Midway).<br />
<br />
Ferrucci defends Watson by saying it answered this way with only 14% confidence because it had to. "Just because a Jeopardy! category says 'U.S. cities' does NOT mean the answer is (actually the name of) a U.S. city," Ferrucci says by e-mail.<br />
<br />
Building off decades of artificial-intelligence research, Watson pursues one well-trod path — broadly analyzing vast libraries of text for answers — rather than relying on deep structural knowledge of a very narrow area, such as lunar geology, seen in so-called "expert" systems, says Ellen Voorhees of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md. "It is a significant advance," she says, but it doesn't have both the broad search and deep knowledge of an ideal system.<br />
<br />
"Compared to a human brain, Watson doesn't even come close in computational power," says information scholar Martin Hilbert of the University of Southern California. "If only we put as much effort in educating human brains as we spent on computers." Watson required the work of more than 20 researchers over four years to develop.<br />
<br />
Anxiety about Watson says more about people than computers, says Andrew Meltzoff of the University of Washington in Seattle, an expert on robot-human interaction. "To us, potentially losing to a computer raises issues of 'Who am I? What does it mean to be human?' " he says. "The Jeopardy! event is hype for humans. The computer doesn't care. The debate is a clue to what makes us human."Rashel Sharwarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15687786701942892649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186674179416984791.post-21386111301164008192010-12-25T21:11:00.000-08:002010-12-25T21:11:04.787-08:00Barnes and Noble Nook Overview, Features and Specs<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rashel-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B004D1OBFW&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><iframe align="right" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rashel-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1400599997&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />

The Barnes & Noble Nook (styled "nook") is a brand of electronic-book readers developed by American book retailer Barnes and Noble, based on the Android platform. The original device was announced in the United States on 20 October 2009, and was released 30 November 2009 for US$259. <br />
<br />
The original Nook includes Wi-Fi and AT&T 3G wireless connectivity, a six-inch E Ink display, and a separate, smaller color touchscreen that serves as the primary input device. On June 21, 2010 Barnes & Noble reduced the Nook's price to US$199 and announced the launch of a new Wi-Fi-only model for US$149.<br />
<br />
On October 26, 2010 the Nook Color was announced for a November 19, 2010 ship date.<br />
<br />

* Reads like paper with crisp, clear text<br />
* Extra-long battery life, read for days<br />
* Exclusive LendMe™ lets you share reading with friends<br />
<br />
<b>Barnes & Noble Features:</b> The original Nook provides a black-and-white E Ink display for viewing digital content with most navigation and additional content provided through a color touchscreen. The Color Nook provides a larger, color LCD display. Pages are turned using arrow buttons on each side of the nook. The original Nook connects to Barnes and Noble's digital store through a free connection to AT&T's 3G network or through available wi-fi connections. Users can read books without a wireless connection; disconnecting the wireless connection can prolong the battery's charge to up to ten days.<br />
<br />
The device has a MicroSD expansion slot for extra storage and a user-replaceable rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged through either an AC adapter or a micro-USB 2.0 cable, both included with new nooks. The device also includes a web browser, a built-in dictionary, Chess and Sudoku, an audio player, speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.<br />
<br />
Supported ebook file-formats with DRM include:<br />
<br />
* eReader PDB with Barnes & Noble's eReader DRM, sometimes called Secure eReader format<br />
* EPUB with Barnes & Noble's eReader DRM, used for ebooks downloaded wirelessly to the nook<br />
* EPUB with Adobe ADEPT DRM, sometimes called Adobe EPUB or Adobe Digital Editions format<br />
* PDF with Adobe ADEPT DRM (However, figures and equations will not appear)<br />
<br />
The EPUB with eReader DRM combination is a new format created for the nook. Adobe has undertaken to include support for that combination in future releases of Adobe Reader Mobile software, to allow other reader devices to support that format.<br />
<br />
Supported ebook file formats without DRM include:<br />
<br />
* EPUB<br />
* eReader PDB<br />
* PDF, including password-protected PDF<br />
<br />
Supported sound file formats for music and audiobooks include MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, but not WMA.<br />
<br />
Image-file formats—used for wallpapers, screen savers, and book-cover thumbnails—include JPG, GIF, PNG, and BMP.<br />
<br />
The nook provides a "LendMe" feature allowing users to share some books with other people - depending upon licensing by the book's publisher. The purchaser is permitted to share a book once with one other user for up to two weeks. Users will be able to share purchased books with others who are using Barnes & Noble's reader application software for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Blackberry, Mac, Android OS and Windows as well as other.<br />
<br />
The nook system recognizes physical Barnes & Noble stores; customers using the nook in the Barnes & Noble stores receive access to special content and offers while the device remains connected to the store's wi-fi. In addition, most e-Books in the catalog can be read for up to an hour while connected to the store wi-fi network with the 1.3 software update.<br />

Miley Cyrus isn't a girl to hold a grudge. Not only has the pop star extraordinaire forgiven her "best bud," Anna Oliver, who videotaped the now infamous Miley Cyrus salvia bong smoking viral video, the two girls have kissed and made up.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
It seems like Miley has taken the high road and forgiven Anna Oliver, as the two were seen hanging out together — but the girls racy photos show these two are growing up way too fast!<br />
<br />
After all of the controversy surrounding her infamous bong-smoking video, you would think that Miley Cyrus would have learned her lesson about the people she should keep close to her. A quick look at pal Anna Oliver’s Facebook however shows that Miley’s adult behavior she sometimes shows on stage — kissing girls and barely there outfits — is also very present in her personal life!<br />
<br />
In these photos we see Miley and Anna posing as if they are about to kiss. We see Anna with a hair dryer shaped as a gun pointing the instrument at her head. What we do not see is any behavior that would be considered appropriate for someone Miley’s age!<br />
<br />
Miley seems to enjoy this new adult image, and being with Anna. A source says that Anna flew down to New Orleans from L.A. to hang out with Miley while she began shooting scenes for her new movie. The source added, “Anna was on the set earlier this week. But then Miley told her she had to go back home because she needs to focus on the movie.”<br />
<br />
Mley has been dealing with the release of the video by working very hard on her movie and by trying not to party as much. A source close to the star says she’s very “embarrassed by what has happened.”<br />
<br />
It seems kind of strange to us that Miley would forgive Anna so quickly. Would YOU ever forgive a friend who let a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rashelsharwar.blogspot.com/2010/12/video-miley-cyrus-smoking-salvia-from.html" target="_blank">controversial video of you go public?</a><br />

Bret Michaels and longtime girlfriend Kristi Lynn Gibson are officially engaged, after the Poison rocker proposed on the finale of his reality show Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Bret Michaels Getting down on one knee, Michaels said: 'I want you to know that I love you and you've been unbelievably a big part of my life and we have two beautiful girls together.<br />
<br />
'I know we love and respect each other and I hope we can find that inner love that we can have forever. I want you to be my wife.'<br />
<br />
He then jokingly added: 'Please say yes or the rejection will kill me right now', before proposing with the same 'friends with mega benefits' ring he had given Gibson two years previously.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, Gibson accepted and the first thing the pair did was rush back to tell their children, 10-year-old Raine and five-year-old Jorja, the news.<br />
<br />
Michaels told his daughters: 'I did it! We'll all be together forever! Family hug!'<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Gibson said: 'I'm speechless. I thought this day would never come. He doesn't realise how happy he’s made me.'<br />
<br />
Michaels denied back in July that he and Gibson -- who have been together on and off for 16 years and have two daughters together -- were not engaged despite tabloid reports implying they were headed for marriage. That's because an engagement does not become official until it's broadcast on a VH1 reality show. Everyone knows that.<br />
<br />
Congrats to the happy couple.<br />

She was featured on several programs relating to the ability to recall any day from her life and give information about almost every detail. The reports claimed that only six people in the entire U.S. have such an ability.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Tests were done on Henner to verify such information as she claimed she could refer to any day and give details about it just as if it happened days ago. The star was able to recall dates of her buying shoes as well as what outfits were worn on what days.<br />
<br />
According to dailypostal <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dailypostal.com/2010/12/20/marilu-henner-memory-is-superior-autobiographical-memory/" target="_blank">reports</a>:<br />
<br />
Marilu Henner memory skill was featured on CBS 60 Minutes. She has what experts say a superior autobiographical memory. The 58-year-old Taxi actress can remember almost every day of her life as vividly and accurately as if it was yesterday.<br />
<br />
Dr. James McGaugh, a professor of neurobiology at the University of California, Irvine, tested Henner and announced that she is the sixth person known to the scientific world to have the ability.<br />
<br />
“They can do with their memories what you and I can do about yesterday … and they can do it every day. It could be a new chapter. …These people come and display a kind of memory we’ve never seen before, and we have to say, ‘Woo, what is that about?’ So we’re going to take a look and see if we can figure that out. And it could be very important.”<br />

Lil Wayne 6’7″ Lyrics:<br />
<br />
[Hook]<br />
Six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch<br />
Six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch<br />
<br />
[Lil Wayne Verse 1]<br />
Excuse my charisma, vodka with a spritzer<br />
swagger down pat, call my shit Patricia<br />
Young Money militia, and I am the commissioner<br />
you don’t want start Weezy, ’cause the F is for Finisher<br />
so misunderstood, but what’s a World without enigma?<br />
two bitches at the same time, synchronized swimmers<br />
got the girl twisted ’cause she open when you twist her<br />
never met the bitch, but I f-ck her like I missed her<br />
life is the bitch, and death is her sister<br />
sleep is the cousin, what a f-ckin’ family picture<br />
you know father time, we all know mother nature<br />
it’s all in the family, but I am of no relation<br />
no matter who’s buying, I’m a celebration<br />
black and white diamonds, f-ck segregation<br />
f-ck that shit, my money up, you n-ggas just Honey Nut<br />
Young Money running shit and you n-ggas just runner-ups<br />
I don’t feel I done enough, so I’ma keep on doing this shit<br />
Lil Tunechi or Young Tunafish<br />
<br />
[Hook]<br />
Six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch<br />
Six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch<br />
<br />
[Lil Wayne Verse 2]<br />
I’m going back in<br />
okay, I lost my mind, it’s somewhere out there stranded<br />
I think you stand under me if you don’t understand me<br />
had my heart broken by this woman named Tammy<br />
but hoes gon’ be hoes, so I couldn’t blame Tammy<br />
just talked to moms, told her she the sweetest<br />
I beat the beat up, call it self defense<br />
swear man, I be seeing through these n-ggas like sequins<br />
n-ggas think they He-Men, pow, pow, the end<br />
talking to myself because I am my own consultant<br />
married to the money, f-ck the world, that’s adultery<br />
you full of sh-t, you close your mouth and let yo ass talk<br />
young Money eating, all you haters do is add salt<br />
stop playing, bitch, I got this game on deadbolt<br />
mind so sharp, I f-ck around and cut my head off<br />
real n-gga all day and tomorrow<br />
but these muthaf-ckas talking crazy like they jaw broke<br />
glass half empty, half full, I’ll spill ya<br />
try me and run into a wall, outfielder<br />
You know I’ma ball ’til they turn off the field lights<br />
the fruits of my labor, I enjoy ‘em while they still ripe<br />
bitch, stop playing, I do it like a king do<br />
if these n-ggas animals, then I’ma have a mink soon<br />
tell ‘em bitches I say put my name on the wall<br />
I speak the truth, but I guess that’s a foreign language to y’all<br />
and I call it like I see it, and my glasses on<br />
but most of y’all don’t get the picture ‘less the flash is on<br />
satisfied with nothing, you don’t know the half of it<br />
Young Money, Cash Money<br />
paper chasing, tell that paper, “Look, I’m right behind ya”<br />
bitch, real G’s move in silence like lasagna<br />
people say I’m borderline crazy, sorta kinda<br />
woman of my dreams, I don’t sleep so I can’t find her<br />
you n-ggas are gelatin, peanuts to an elephant<br />
I got through that sentence like a subject and a predicate<br />
yeah, with a swag you would kill for<br />
money too strong, pockets on bodybuilder<br />
jumped in a wishing well, now wish me well<br />
tell ‘em kiss my ass, call it kiss and tell<br />
<br />
[Cory Gunz]<br />
Word to my mama, I’m out of my lima bean<br />
don’t wanna see what that drama mean, get some Dramamine<br />
llama scream, hotter than summer sun on a Ghana queen<br />
now all I want is hits, bitch, Wayne signed a fiend<br />
I played the side for you n-ggas that’s tryna front, and see<br />
son of Gunz, Son of Sam, you n-ggas the son of me<br />
pause for this dumber speech, I glow like Buddha<br />
disturb me, and you’ll be all over the flow like Luda<br />
bitch, I flow like scuba, bitch, I’m bald like Cuba<br />
and I keep a killer ho, she gon’ blow right through ya<br />
I be macking, ’bout my stacking, now I pack like a mover<br />
shout to ratchet for backing out on behalf of my shooter<br />
n-ggas think they high as I, I come laugh at your ruler<br />
Cash Money cold, bitch, but our actions is cooler<br />
Wayne, these n-ggas out they mind<br />
I done told these f-ck n-ggas, so many times<br />
that I keep these bucks steady on my mind<br />
tuck these, I f-ck these on your mind, pause<br />
to feed them, on my grind, did I get a little love?<br />
keep throwing my sign in the middle<br />
hit ‘em up, piece on my side, ’cause ain’t no peace on my side, bitch<br />
I’m a man, I visit urinals abroad<br />
Tune told me to, I’m shooting when the funeral outside<br />
I’m uptown, thoroughbred, a BX n-gga, ya heard?<br />
Gunna<br />

The video of the collapse of the Metrodome has released now. Video Shows the resembled the interior and it is simply incredible.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
As you can see, the storm cracked the roof and sent it crashing down. As a result, the Giants vs. Vikings game is forced to being played in the Detroit Lions' Ford Field tomorrow night at 7:20.<br />
<br />
The game was originally scheduled for today at 1:00 p.m. EST, but it was postponed yesterday due to severe weather conditions.<br />
<br />
On a side note, 41-year old Brett Favre said he doesn't believe that he'll be able to play tomorrow which would ultimately end his record streak at 297 consecutive games started.<br />

<b>Details:</b> With stories that spanned decades and spectrums, family and friends of Elizabeth Edwards recalled her Saturday as an idealistic law student who challenged professors, a political sage who offered advice at every turn and a matriarch who comforted her family even as she was dying of breast cancer.<br />
<br />
Edwards' funeral drew hundreds to Edenton Street United Methodist Church, where she once mourned her 16-year-old son, Wade, after he died in a car crash in 1996. She was to be buried next to him during a private ceremony.<br />
<br />
Speakers reflected on a multi-faceted personality: Edwards, 61, was an intellectual who frequented discount clothing stores like T.J. Maxx, she was a fiery competitor without an ego, and she was a public figure who won the private confidence of virtually everyone she met.<br />
<br />
"There aren't words that are good enough," said daughter Cate Edwards, whose eulogy contained a passage from a letter her mother spent years preparing to leave to her children after she was gone.<br />
<br />
"I've loved you in the best ways I've known how," the letter said. "All I ever really needed was you, your love, your presence, to make my life complete."<br />
<br />
John Edwards, her estranged husband, did not speak. The couple had four children together. John Edwards sat alongside 28-year-old Cate, 12-year-old Emma Claire and 10-year-old Jack. They held hands as they followed the casket into the sanctuary.<br />
<br />
Their oldest daughter talked of how her mother comforted those around her as she lay dying — at one point barely able to speak — while she held her daughter and John's hands, looking back and forth to each, repeating, "I'm OK. I'm OK."<br />
<br />
"She was way more worried about us than we were about her," Cate Edwards said.<br />
<br />
She talked of her mother's strength and grace and also of her witty advice about everything from clothing (there are always fewer regrets wearing solids than patterns) to marriage (don't settle for the first boy you ever meet).<br />
<br />
"She's been a lighthouse to all of us — a point of guidance when we all feel lost," she said.<br />
<br />
The memorial brought several political figures, including Sen. John Kerry, who led the Democratic presidential ticket in 2004 that included John Edwards, and North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue.<br />
<br />
Two of Elizabeth Edwards' longtime friends, Hargrave McElroy and Glenn Bergenfield, also gave eulogies.<br />
<br />
McElroy spoke admiringly of the fiery woman who first became a close friend as the couple raised their young children, telling stories of Edwards' expertise at any pursuit that required intellect — from board games to sports trivia. She said Edwards was always an optimist.<br />
<br />
"She knew who she was. She never held back. She was without pretense," McElroy said.<br />
<br />
Bergenfield described a woman he first met in law school who challenged her professors with a vibrant mind and who possessed "big world, head-turning, walk-into-the-pole gorgeous" looks. He related anecdotes about how strong she was, but also how she was down-to-earth she was, seeming to care for each stranger she met, disarming campaign operatives with plain language or crawling under a dormroom bed to find clothing Cate had discarded.<br />
<br />
"Nothing that she said publicly, as a mother, as an author or as a friend — none of it fed or was in any way fueled by ego," he said.<br />
<br />
Bergenfield described Edwards as a close friend to him and his family — giving his children thoughtful advice and teaching people around her to "live like it's important."<br />
<br />
One of the pallbearers, Tyler Highsmith, was in the car Wade Edwards was driving when he died. He and three other pallbearers — Michael Lewis, Ellis Roberts and Charles Scarantino — were pallbearers in Wade Edwards' funeral. Trevor Upham, who was recently engaged to Cate Edwards, also served as a pallbearer for Elizabeth Edwards.<br />
<br />
Jennifer Palmieri, who was a senior adviser during John Edwards' presidential campaigns, said the funeral was open to the public because Elizabeth Edwards always insisted on open campaign events — much to the consternation of staff who wanted to control access. She never wanted tickets issued, even free ones.<br />
<br />
Among the people who gathered on a nearby street hours before the funeral was Barbara Fields, a 65-year-old Raleigh resident who never knew Edwards personally but was impressed by how she handled adversity.<br />
<br />
Fields, a 10-year breast cancer survivor who wore a pink scarf with breast cancer logos, said she found comfort in books and speeches by Edwards about the fear and sleepless nights that come with fighting the illness.<br />
<br />
"She just carried herself with a quiet dignity," Fields said.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth Edwards was first diagnosed with cancer in 2004, a day after the Kerry-Edwards ticket lost to George W. Bush in that year's presidential election. Doctors declared her cancer-free after grueling treatments, but the disease returned in an incurable form in 2007. She died Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Her last years were tumultuous ones, made difficult by her husband's affair and eventual admission that he'd fathered a child with the mistress. John and Elizabeth Edwards separated about a year ago.Rashel Sharwarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15687786701942892649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186674179416984791.post-1999884613694332102010-12-11T11:45:00.000-08:002010-12-11T11:45:42.236-08:00System Tool Virus: How to Remove Security Tool Virus / Malware?<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rashel-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002I0HKIU&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align:right;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;"align="right" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rashel-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B003WT1KHI&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align:right;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;"align="right" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />

<br />
System Tool Antivirus is not a legitimate and Real Antivirus Program but itself a virus, more precisely a new kind of fake antivirus program from the same family of Security Tool. The only difference being the core files are modified a little bit and the name is changed to hide it's detection by legitimate Antivirus programs installed on your PC.<br />
<br />
This program is distributed with the help of trojans. When the trojan is started, it will automatically download and install System Tool Antivirus onto your computer without your consent and knowledge and configure it to run when you start Windows.<br />
When System Tool Antivirus is started, it will imitate a system scan and detect a lot of various infections that will not be fixed unless you first purchase the program.<br />
<br />
mportant to know, all of these reported infections are fake and don't actually exist on your computer! So you can safely ignore the scan results.<br />
While System Tool Antivirus is running, it will block the ability to run any programs as a method to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected with malware.<br />
<br />
<b>The following warnings will be shown:</b> What is more, the rogue will flood your computer with warnings and fake security alerts. Some of the alerts:<br />

Your Computer is infected with Spyware!</b><br />
All you do with your computer is stored forever in your hard disk. When you visit sites, send emails... All your actions are logged. And it is impossible to remove them with standard tools. Your data is still available for forensics, and in some cases.<br />
<br />
For your boss, your friends, your wife, your children. Every site you or somebody or even something, like spyware, opened in your browsers, with all the images, and all the downloaded and maybe later removed movies or mp3 songs - ARE STILL THERE and could break your life!<br />
<br />
<b>Secure yourself right now!<br />
Removal all spyware from your PC!</b><br />
Of course, all of above warnings and alerts nothing more but a scam and like false scan results should be ignored!<br />
<br />
As you can see System Tool Antivirus, is a scam that is designed with one purpose to trick you into purchasing the so-called full version. Do not fall for these virus creators bait into buying the Rogueware and if you already have, you should contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.<br />
<br />
And now coming back on How to Get Rid of System Tool Antivirus, you need a solid program to fix the damages, the rogue has caused. It alters files, folders,permissions and registry keys.<br />
<br />
So you need something as good as Reimage, to fix all the damages that was left behind, to delete all the traces completely....to revive your PC from malicious trojans that may still reside and make your PC slow and to stop from getting re-infected.<br />
<br />
When you try to fix this rogue, by running legitimate antivirus you encounter that app cannot be executed warning, task manager disabled, registry editing disabled etc..<br />
<br />
So, in order to get rid of System Tool Antivirus completely, start your PC in safe mode with networking, If you can`t run the IE, then you should as below.<br />
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\UserProfile\Application Data. You can notice this system tool virus program as random.exe<br />
<br />
"c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\\.exe"<br />
By default, this is C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data for Windows 2000/XP. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 it is C:\Users\AppData\Roaming or C:\Users\AppData\Local.<br />
<br />
If you can`t run the IE, then you should repair the proxy settings of Internet Explorer. Run Internet Explorer, Click Tools -> Internet Options. Select Connections Tab and click to Lan Settings button. Uncheck "Use a proxy server" box. Click OK. Click Apply. Now Go to http://reimagepcrepair.com/ and run scan to fix System Tool Antivirus.<br />
<br />
Reimage works by comparing each and every OS system files with the correct files from a web repository of 25 million Windows components. (since Reimage works by comparing with correct file, it can easily find the hiding rootkit, infact this is what a rootkit remover do......dumps a list of files from your hard disk drive and compares it with the list from the recovery console in order to find a hiding virus) This is the sole reason you can get a PC as good as new once you run Reimage, all other antivirus and antimalware programs just delete the virus....but they don't correct the damage...which results in re-infection and slow performing PC.<br />
<br />
Reimage first scans your computer thoroughly; all the files, folders, registry keys and values, drivers, softwares, stacks and then either repair or remove those stuffs that should be there. But it's not just that it does. They have an enormous web repository of application, drivers, system objects, etc. from where they compare your PC's files and if corrupted replace it with the healthy ones.<br />

As mourners gather to commemorate the life of Elizabeth Edwards on Saturday afternoon, picketers from a Kansas-based church -- along with counter-protesters -- could change the mood outside the funeral.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Edwards, the estranged wife of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, died Tuesday after a lenghty battle with breast cancer. She was 61.<br />
<br />
Representatives for the Edwards family confirmed that the service will be held at the Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh, where the Edwards family worshiped. The 1 p.m. funeral, which will be open to the public, will include eulogies from daughter Cate Edwards and longtime friends Hargrave McElroy and Glenn Bergenfield.<br />
<br />
Edwards will then be buried at Raleigh's Historic Oakwood Cemetery, according to office manager Sharon Freed. Earlier this week, Freed told CNN about the proximity of the burial to Edwards' son Wade, who was buried at the cemetery after dying in a 1996 car crash.<br />
<br />
"He is already interred there in a space. And she will be interred there beside him," Freed said.<br />
<br />
But the funeral could be marked by picketers from Westboro Baptist Church.<br />
<br />
According to a press release from the church, members of the Kansas-based congregation are planning to rally against Edwards for issues relating to her personal life deemed offensive by the church.<br />
<br />
The church is known for its extremist opposition against homosexuals, Jews and other groups. Westboro members often hold protests at funerals for fallen U.S. service members, saying the war's dead are God's punishment for the country tolerating gays and lesbians.<br />
<br />
The father of a U.S. Marine has sued the church, alleging invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy. The case, Snyder v. Phelps, has reached the Supreme Court and tests the privacy rights of grieving families with the free speech rights of demonstrators, however disturbing and provocative their message.<br />
<br />
But some are organizing a counter-protest to Westboro Baptist's efforts at Edwards' funeral. <br />

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus music video Who Owns My Heart is now being called the Miley Cyrus Lap Dance Video by those who have seen it. This is in error though. The real lap dance video shows Miley giving a lap dance to Adam Shankman, producer of The Last Song, back in May 2010. At the time the video below was taken Miley was 16 years-old, and Adam was 44 years-old.<br />

The effects produced by Salvia divinorum are not comparable to the effects produced by other psychoactive substances. Depending on body weight, sensitivity, dose taken, method of ingestion and the strength of the salvia that is used, the effects range from subtle to extremely strong. Salvia can not be considered a party drug in any way. On the contrary, people that under the effects of salvia are usually not interactive, but have a very personal hallucinating experience.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
While salvinorin does activate opioid receptors in the brain, it's important to draw a distinction between the mu-opioid receptor (activated by narcotics like heroin) and the kappa(1)-opioid receptor (activated by salvinorin A). Drugs that work on the mu-opioid receptor cause sedation, pain-relief, and euphoria, but drugs that work on the kappa(1)-opioid receptor generally cause hallucinogenic, but often unpleasant (or even dysphoric) effects. This explains why many people describe the Salvia experience as being unpleasant compared to the effects of the tryptamine psychedelics (such as psilocybine, DMT and LSD), which activate other receptors in the brain.<br />
<br />
A number of people report that the effects of salvia became stronger after having used it a couple of times. Some people appear to become more sensitive and will reach a higher level of effects after a couple of times. On the other hand, quite a large percentage of people (around 10%) are fairly insensitive to salvinorin. Many of them will reach effects at a higher dose, but a minority will still feel nothing, even at higher doses.<br />
<br />
If you are a first time user, it is advised to use only a small dose to test your sensitivity, because the effects can sometimes be overwhelming. Always make sure a sitter is present. Read more about this on the warnings page.<br />
<br />
The duration of a salvia trip also varies greatly according the method of usage and the quantity used. Smoking salvia is known to have a short effect. The effects come on quickly and reach their peak after 5 to 25 minutes. The effects subside quite quickly, although you may feel the influence of salvia for a couple of hours. When taken orally, the effects of salvia come on more slowly, but they will last longer. However, most people report that the effects decrease after 60 to 120 minutes.<br />
<br />
Salvia is often grouped with other hallucinogenic psychoactives, but in fact its effects are unique. Salvia is sometimes marketed as a legal cannabis substitute, although the effects are in no way similar. During the trip several states can occur: 2-dimensional hallucinations, out of body experiences, becoming an object, traveling back in time, being in more places at once and uncontrolled laughing. On his website www.egodeath.com Michael Hoffman discusses what he considers the religious effects of Salvia Divinorum. Erowid mentions the following reported effects in their Salvia FAQ:<br />
<br />
* Loss of physical coordination<br />
* Uncontrollable laughter<br />
* Visual alterations or visions<br />
* Experiencing multiple realities<br />
* A contemplative sense of peace<br />
* Sense of profound understanding<br />
* Dream-like veneer over the world<br />
* Sense of total confusion or madness<br />
* Seeing or becoming part of a tunnel<br />
* Loss of sense of awareness as an individual<br />
* Experiencing a “non-Euclidean” geometry<br />
* Sense of flying, floating, twisting, or turning<br />
* Feeling of being immersed in an energy field<br />
* Feeling of being connected to a larger “whole”<br />
* Feeling of being underground or underwater<br />
* Appearing to travel to other places and/or times<br />
* Becoming inanimate objects (a wall, stairs, a couch, etc.)<br />
* Viewing patterns or shapes that are tube-like, snake-like, or worm-like<br />
<br />
The famous salvia-researcher Daniel Siebert made up a scale for the strength of a salvia experience. His S-A-L-V-I-A trip scale shows 6 trip stages:<br />
<br />
* S - SUBTLE effects, Relaxation and increased sensual appreciation may be noted. This mild level is useful for meditation and may facilitate sexual pleasure.<br />
* A - ALTERED perception, colors and textures are paid attention to. Thinking becomes less logical, and more playful.<br />
* L - LIGHT visionary state. Closed eye visuals (clear imagery with eyes closed).<br />
* V - VIVID visionary state. Complex three dimensional realistic appearing scenes occur. With eyes closed you experience fantasies. So long as your eyes are closed you may believe they are really occurring.<br />
* I - IMMATERIAL existence. Individuality may be lost; one experiences merging with the Divine.<br />
* A - AMNESIC effects. Loss of consciousness. The individual may fall, or remain immobile or thrash around. Dangerous!<br />

<br />
Bill Ray Cyrus is in the midst of divorcing his wife Tish. Miley Cyrus, who recently turned 18, said all she wanted for her birthday was to "take a vacation with my family."<br />

Miley Cyrus celebrated her 18th birthday by experimenting with a bong and catching a case of the giggles, but sources say she was not smoking marijuana, according to tmz reports. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The video was shot during a party at Miley's L.A. area home 5 days after her 18th birthday. According to a source connected with Miley Cyrus, the smoke filling the bong is a natural herb called salvia which has psychedelic qualities. Possession of salvia is legal in California.<br />
<br />
As for the video, the source said it was shot by one of Miley's friends and the theory is someone stole or copied the video from that friend's camera. <br />
<br />
Salvia – it’s important to note – is legal in California and most other states, and can even be bought online.<br />

(Reuters) - A car carrying Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla was on Thursday attacked by protesters in London demonstrating against higher student fees, a spokesman for the prince said.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
"We can confirm that Their Royal Highnesses' car was attacked by protesters on the way to their engagement at the London Palladium this evening, but Their Royal Highnesses are unharmed," the spokesman said. He did not elaborate.<br />
<br />
The car carrying the royals later arrived at the venue where they were to watch a variety performance.<br />
<br />
Television footage showed the Bentley limousine splattered with white paint with damage to one of its rear passenger-side windows.<br />
<br />
Police chief superintendent Julia Pendry who is in charge of policing the protest that turned violent said the car was attacked around Oxford Circus, a busy shopping district in the heart of London.<br />
<br />
"I can't tell you the specifics...and whether the (protesters) were actually trying to have contact with the prince we're not sure of," she told reporters.<br />
<br />
"But what did happen was that some people made suggestions to him and were kicking his vehicle," she said.<br />

Russia has suggested that, Julian Assange should be awarded the Nobel peace prize, in an unexpected show of support from Moscow for the jailed WikiLeaks founder, according to Guardian.<br />

<br />
In what appears to be a calculated dig at the US, the Kremlin urged non-governmental organisations to think seriously about "nominating Assange as a Nobel Prize laureate".<br />
<br />
"Public and non-governmental organisations should think of how to help him," the source from inside president Dmitry Medvedev's office told Russian news agencies. Speaking in Brussels, where Medvedev was attending a Russia-EU summit yesterday , the source went on: "Maybe, nominate him as a Nobel Prize laureate."<br />
<br />
Russia's reflexively suspicious leadership appears to have come round to WikiLeaks, having decided that the ongoing torrent of disclosures are ultimately far more damaging and disastrous to America's long-term geopolitical interests than they are to Russia's.<br />
<br />
The Kremlin's initial reaction to stories dubbing Russia a corrupt "mafia state" and kleptocracy was, predictably, negative. Last week Medvedev's spokesman dubbed the revelations "not worthy of comment" while Putin raged that a US diplomatic cable comparing him to Batman and Medvedev to Robin was "arrogant" and "unethical". State TV ignored the claims.<br />
