House Speaker wants Obama plan on U.S. force against Islamic State

WASHINGTON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner called on President Barack Obama on Thursday to soon send Congress the administration's plan for using military force against Islamic State.

The Obama administration has argued that its campaign of air strikes in Iraq and Syria against Islamic State militants is legal, based on authorization passed in the early 2000s under President George W. Bush for the Iraq War and fighting al Qaeda and associated groups.

But several members of Congress have said it would be preferable to debate and pass a new authorization for combating Islamic State fighters, who have killed thousands of people while seizing swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria.

Republicans in particular have urged the Democratic president to make a formal request while others, mostly Democrats, have said lawmakers should pass their own measure and then send it Obama for his signature.

Republican Boehner said his party's lawmakers would work with the White House to pass an authorization approved if he sends one, asking him to do so quickly in the new Congress in which Republicans control both House and Senate.

"I've continued to remind the president that historically, the commander in chief has identified the need for the use of military force, written a new authorization for that force, sent it to the Hill, and typically also worked to build bipartisan support for such a resolution," Boehner said at his first weekly news conference of the new Congress.

Discovering Pinnacles, American’s Newest National Park

If you’re seeking a spiritual experience, this is the place where you’re likely to find one.Eerie jagged spires, Stonehenge-like monoliths, implausibly round boulders and otherworldly caves are just a sampling of the colossal formations at America’s newest national park. And it’s one of the few places to glimpse the endangered California condor, the spectacular bird that resembles a robed Supreme Court justice sporting a nearly 10-foot wingspan.Discovering Pinnacles

Details: Pinnacles National Park, California

“This place is full of ‘national park’ moments,” says Gavin Emmons, a wildlife biologist who has lived in Pinnacles National Monument for several years. These abundant moments explain why the place received “National Park” designation last Jan. 10. The park is hidden south of San Francisco, in the Gabilan Mountains of California’s Coast Ranges, an hour from the Pacific Ocean just east of the Salinas Valley.

Mist-ringed mountains, rolling hills, shady woodlands, cratered valleys, blossom-edge creeks, hidden waterfalls — the landscape resembles a catalogue of natural wonders populated by diverse plants that range from coast live oaks to buckwheat to larkspur and animals such as bobcats, bats, bees, red-legged frogs, white-throated swifts, yellow-billed magpies and prairie falcons.

Few places on earth shelter such a symphony of geological features and fauna and flora. The park’s dramatic landscapes resulted from a volcanic eruption 23 million years ago, assisted by tectonic plate action. Plate movement along the San Andreas fault split the Neenach Volcano in the Los Angeles area, thrusting half of it 195 miles north. Earthquake faulting, lava and erosion sculpted the fantasyland pinnacles, and caves formed when large fallen rock, called talus, wedged into the tops of narrow gorges, creating roofed passages. Pinnacles’ are among the largest talus caves in the United States.

This unique geology and tectonic-plates origin story earned Pinnacles national park status. Advocates included Salinas-based Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) and filmmaker Ken Burns, who, as the man who made “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea,” is an ideal judge of unique landscapes.

Lured by mild Mediterranean weather that lasts through spring, a lack of crowds and elevations ranging from 824 to 3,304 feet, I’ve come to explore this 26,000-acre wonderland. Snow? It barely dusts the highest peaks, such as North Chalone.

The park’s west entrance is closer to the Pacific coast, while the east entrance abuts a campground. Thirteen well-maintained hiking trails, rated easy to difficult, weave past clues to the land’s violent past. On the west side, gray marble outcroppings resulted from the shifting earth’s heat and pressure. Bands of ivory-colored rhyolite mark where lava flowed through fissures in the granite. Rock fragments embedded in lava and ash give breccia rock faces, such as towering Machete Ridge, a pinkish concrete cast. On the east side, sand washes groove rock faces, and sandstone cliffs hover above the original location of the San Andreas fault.

“Dusk and dawn are particularly beautiful, especially for colorful light on the rocks, and for greater chances to see condors, prairie falcons and other wildlife,” says Gavin, who likes winter hiking for the temperatures and solitude and spring for the flowing streams and blooming wildflowers. He also likes rope-climbing the park’s 900-some routes, from sport-climbs at the east side’s Discovery Wall to the west side’s multi-pitch routes at Machete Ridge. Knowing that the breccia here is less stable than granite, I’m keeping my boots on the trails and my eyes on the birds.

California condors have been rescued from the brink of extinction by captive breeding efforts. “Condor numbers have rebounded from 22 in the late 1980s to around 400 birds [worldwide] today,” says Gavin. “Free-flying pairs have been producing wild-raised nestlings for the last several years.”

As a park biologist, Gavin helps manage the central California flock of around 60 free-flying condors, including 34 released and hatched at Pinnacles. Averaging 20 pounds, they’re among the world’s largest birds. Soaring on rising currents of warm air called thermals, they travel miles without flapping their wings, sometimes reaching speeds of 55 mph and heights of 15,000 feet.

Like other birds of prey, condors get poisoned by ingesting animals shot with lead ammunition. Measures designed to help save them include hunter education and a new statewide lead-ammo ban.

We spot a condor soaring over Machete Ridge, an astonishing and much hoped-for sight. But the assumed highlight of my visit turns out to be just a teaser.

The next morning, as dawn’s rays halo the west side peaks, I begin a hike with friends, birdwatching guide Tim Amaral and Rochelle Fischer, who’s with the conservation nonprofit Pinnacles Partnership. As we tramp up Juniper Canyon Trail to the High Peaks, two noble black-feathered, pink-headed birds appear on a cliff. They’re doing the same thing we are: gazing at surreal monoliths, deep canyons and pinnacle-studded slopes.

“If you think you’ve seen a condor, you haven’t,” Tim says. “When you see a condor, you know it.”

We know it.

As we quell our shaken selves to focus our cameras and scopes, our avian idols fan their huge wings in a sun salutation that reveals dazzling white underwing markings. Even their tracking ID tags are visible. It’s hard to look away and resume hiking, but soon we’re rewarded: Rounding a mountainside offers a fresh angle on the condors, who engage in a quick round of jitterbug moves.

Ascending slopes on the switchback-kinked trail, we encounter a cinematographer’s delight of real-life stage sets: volcano-sculpted spires, dizzying cliffs, bizarre formations jutting every which way, precariously balanced SUV-size boulders, mosaics of chaparral and desert, mountains with velvety surfaces facing slopes of worn-down stone. Then there’s massive Machete Ridge, named for the sharply angled wall beloved by daredevil climbers. Some remarkable features that at first glance seem nature-made were crafted by man: In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built stairways of stone ledges and, instead of ladders, blasted footholds into vertical rockfaces using dynamite. Rest assured, the iron handrails are solidly bolted and checked regularly by park rangers.

Surprises welcome us to each altitude: sky-blue Western scrub-jays, acorn woodpeckers, canyon wrens and other birds feeding upon the winter berries of manzanita shrubs, dazzling clusters of trumpet-shaped California fuchsia, mystical forests of moss-draped trees and rocks upholstered with tapestries of jewel-colored lichens.

In January, early-blooming wildflowers include purple shooting stars, white milkmaids and magenta Indian warriors. Then come sunny-yellow bush poppies, multi-hued monkey flowers and aptly named baby blue-eyes. Spring brings fresh hues with redspot clarkia, lemony Johnny-jump-ups, violet-blue lupine and mariposa lilies with white bell-shaped petals smudged with gold, pink and maroon.

It’s always ink-black in the caves, requiring flashlights to traverse the dips and rises of the rocky paths. An enormous, perfectly round boulder marks one entrance to the west side’s Balconies Cave. The east side’s Bear Gulch Cave provides critical habitat to a colony of Townsend’s big-eared bats (petite aside from those pointy ears). Sometimes the caves are closed when there’s high water or to protect the bats. As with the condor sightings, our timing’s right for exploring the cave passages.

Evening plans have us leaving before dark, so I’ll miss the moonlight hiking that Rochelle describes as transcendent. But that’s okay. The sweep of vistas, sunbathing condors and other “national park moments” more than qualify as a spiritual experience.

Basketball: Missouri vs. Kansas – The Border Showdown

Basketball: Missouri vs. Kansas – The Border Showdown

It was a wild, emotional game, but the Tigers defeated the Jayhawks for possibly the last time at home.

The day started off at 5am with preparing for ESPN’s “College Gameday” and ended with moving photos at 11:30pm in the workroom. It was a long day, with 3 events including a wrestling meet , thousands of frames, and a lifetime of memories. For me, the most emotional part was the moving from the locker room to the workroom, and seeing my photos leading off major sports websites.

Overall, the day brought back memories of last years homecoming. ESPN in town, lots to shoot in one day (a NASCAR race), and a top ranked opponent that night. The perfect setting for a wild game, a wild finish, and many great moments.

This “Gameday” was the same, here’s some of my favorites.

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison Leads Republicans In Calling For An "Alternative" Violence Against Women Act

On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate began debating the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, which is largely backed by Senate Democrats, and discussing its Republican alternative, authored by Chuck Grassley of Iowa and our own Kay Bailey Hutchison. In preparation for that debate, Hutchison took to the Senate floor Wednesday and did something rather extraordinary: She talked for ten minutes without once mentioning the three key things that Republicans would like to change about the proposed Democratic version of the bill, namely the gay parts, the immigrant parts and the American-Indian parts.

As has been widely reported in recent days, the Violence Against Women Act was first passed in 1994 and has generally been as noncontroversial and bipartisan as laws come. But this time around, Republicans have objected to the Democrat-backed version of the renewal bill, which would add more visas for immigrants -- legal and illegal -- who are victims of abuse, would explicitly state that gay, lesbian and transgendered people are protected by the act and would allow non-American Indians who commit domestic violence on tribal land to be prosecuted by tribal authorities.

Hutchison didn't mention any of that, though. Instead, she focused on the less controversial (and sorely needed) changes she's proposing: increasing support for sexual assault investigations and rape-kit testing. As we mentioned recently , there are thousands of untested rape kits in Dallas County and throughout Texas. But because law enforcement agencies still aren't complying with a law that requires them to report their totals, we still don't even know precisely how many there are, and actually testing them may still be years away.

Hutchison didn't outline the other provisions of the Republican version of the bill, which would put a cap on visas for immigrants at 10,000 a year, compared with the 15,000 the Democrats want. The Republican version also doesn't specify that violence against gays, lesbians and transgendered people is covered by the act. Instead of being able to prosecute domestic violence against against non-native people, tribal authorities would have to go to federal court for orders of protection.

But as the background material for the bill makes clear, that might not be good enough. Violence against tribal members by non-native people is a serious problem, but non-American Indians can't currently be prosecuted by tribal authorities and U.S. attorneys decline to prosecute a little more than half of violent crimes that happen in Indian country. In practice, that means non-tribal members have a disturbingly good chance of getting away with domestic violence.

Although the debate might get awkward, there's no real chance, even in this super-heated political climate, that something called the Violence Against Women Act won't be renewed. Among Hutchison's female colleagues, support for the Democratic bill is near-universal. As the Morning News reported, of the 17 women in the Senate, five of them Republicans, Hutchison was the only one to not sign on to the renewal.

But even as Hutchison dodged any discussion of the Republican alternative's more controversial proposals, she too called for the bill to be renewed. "We will go to conference on this bill," she said in her testimony. "And we will come out with a good bill, if everyone will cooperate."

Kun-Yang Lin, dancer, choreographer, teacher and coach, has spent his artistic life offering people a home in his work, giving them the breathing space needed to grow as artists.

When he was a child in Taiwan he directed his three sisters in performances in their shared bedroom. At twelve years of age he created an all male dance ensemble to perform in his native village, Hsin Chu. When he arrived in New York City in 1994, he found a home with such classic American companies as The Mary Anthony Dance Theater, Martha Graham, Anna Sokolow, and Jennifer Muller/The Works, all the while creating a home for dancers in his classes and choreographic creations.

KYL/Dancers, born in 2002,was almost immediately recognized for its “deeply spiritual, remarkable” (Dance Magazine) work. In addition to his company choreography, Lin continued to juggle requests to choreograph work for artists outside his group. He has traveled the world to teach and create dances. From Taiwan to London, from Singapore to Vienna, from Mexico City to Michigan, Lin is in demand.

Lin brings ease and joy to the study of technique and choreography by teaching his dancers to be aware of the relationship of breath to movement. The body can sing dynamically if one is tuned into the rhythms that breath can create. Of course the first thing to slip away from a dancer (or anyone, for that matter) when they are harried at work, is a healthy use of breath. Constant attention is required for the body to remember its music.

A devoted gardener, Lin tends to his dancer’s artistry in the studio. He will ask questions in order to discover how to better deliver his message, or he will simply listen. His lack of Premiere Danseur ego is disarming. He is all about the work – teaching others to become the spirit of the dance (as he does) and give their best effort. This attitude has built him a loyal following of students, artists, and audience members.

In 2003, Lin was offered a post as Assistant Professor of Dance at Temple University in Philadelphia – an amazing opportunity to work consistently with eager students, and have a salaried position in modern dance. There was great cause for joy, yet a tinge of panic struck. How could he maintain the New York based KYL/Dancers?

The Chinatown Bus from Philly to New York City came in very handy. It provided a great, cheap way for Lin and his New York dancers to shuttle back and forth to work with each other. Still, it was trying. The dancers labored alone during the week, and then on Sunday the company would get together with Lin for an epic rehearsal. While the company was fortunate to have a consistent, donated, rehearsal venue at Radu Physical Culture on West 55th street, the pace was frantic. It became clear that the company needed more quality time together – they needed a home.

As fate would have it, last April, Lin and life partner/Executive Director, Ken Metzner, were strolling around South Philly when they happened upon an abandoned warehouse for sale. It was located in a non-artsy neighborhood best known for cheese-steaks. It was too expensive. It needed lots of work... It was perfect. The bustling Italian market location reminded Lin of the busy streets in his homeland.

A year later – after some haggling on the price, dealing with neighborhood zoning, obtaining permits, and renovating – the 3,000 square foot warehouse at 1316 South 9th Street has become Chi Movement Arts Center. (Chi is Mandarin for “breath” or “vital life source”).

At last, Kun Yang Lin, an artist who helps artists feel safe at home in his work, has found a home that he can breathe in.

“The mission of Kun Yang Lin/Dancers is to draw upon our unique Asian American perspective to create work that transcends cultural boundaries and enriches our community. Chi, Mandarin for ‘breath’ or ‘vital life source’, is at the core of our artistry and educational activities. Chi Movement Arts Center, the home of Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers, is the centerpiece of our mission- a place of learning, exploration, growth, artistic excellence and vitality.”

WARNING: SPOILERS/NSFW - We usually dislike dream sequences that sorta try to create a false sense of peril, but you know what?  The Flash gets so much right, we won't even hold it against them! Hell, we're stoked about this episode!  The Turtle has maybe one of the coolest super powers we've ever seen utilized on screen, and he's a smarmy little bastard to boot! Winking at Barry. What a tool!  A sick tool, too, ya'll. Weirdo to the max!  But that's not all we talk about!
Patty and Barry might be done for!  Barry keeps Patty at arm's length, treats her kinda bad, and acts like a douche (for just this episode).  Then again, aren't we rushing into things here, Patty?
And what's up with all these CW kids and the illegal racing?  Seems like a weird trend...

Visual Studio 11 Rant

The purpose of this post is to rant about the current state of Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview. Right now... as far as I can tell Microsoft is infected with what I will call the metro virus. Not only is Windows 8 not intuitive on the desktop but it is also strange to use on tablets. We are here however to talk about Visual Studio 11.

Not only have all the icons been "Metroized" but they are now without color. Primarily everything that I seem to click on based on color rather than location has been muted.

Lets take the Solution explorer. Below is a comparison between Visual Studio 2010 and VS 11. When I look to find C# files in folders, I expect to see Green. I have grown to like this easy to find scenario. However in VS 11 as ou can see this MVC application has a Grey @ symbol in the middle of two Square Brackets...

The same goes for all the icons. After using this new solution explorer for a few hours I was incredibly irritated.

Moving on to the file menu. I love the fact that I can pick the browser I want to debug my website in. Even chrome is selected by default which is nice. However finding the stop debug button after you begin running is quite irritating. Not only is the debug button not greed but the stop debug button is not blue.

Finally I want to move to the error screen. I like the new brighter icons for the actual errors and warnings. However it is a pain looking for the buttons you expect to be Red Yellow and Blue. Perhaps now I am reaching a little too far now, but I did find myself thinking about how to filter my errors, then having to actively look for it.

 In short, I would like the new icons and theme is everything still had familiar colors. In fact I don't need a new design for a development platform, at least not one that is so drastically different... Microsoft has been very helpful to its developers... using metro to redesign the place we write code is not helpful.

creating this stuff is the secret ways for making an extra income while at home now in japan?

Are you artistic and waiting to show the world what characters you’ve come up with on your own? Luckily, Line app has just created a new option where you can create and upload your very own Line stickers to sell on the app.  you will need to submit a set of 42 different animated characters and upload to them and Line will review to make sure if your submission will meet the quality standards.

The Line is a free messaging application generally operated from Japan. Line users can able to make texts, images, video, and call.
Line stamp is similar to emoticons or Emoji for Facebook, Viber, Skype, and WEchat. line portray commonly known characters, from TV shows in Japan, to anime, movie and cartoon characters, Disney, and much more.

if you’re serious about creating your own Line Stickers you can join the Line Creators Market here if you already using the app you also have an automatic account there of course by logging in your registered mail address with your phone numbers.  another advantage of using this app is that they aren’t restricted by the age or experience for joining this program.

It doesn’t matter if you’re 8 years old or 100 years old if you have a talent or idea and you want to share on the program, go for it. Also, you don’t need to have an artistic background or even an art degree. All you have to do is enter in your own original drawing and wait to see if it takes off.

Just read their guideline very carefully and follow honestly, then there's nothing to worry about,  and before submitting your works (processing of review is very tough and long. so, review your work many times before submitting it, you can read their guidelines here).  and after many times reviewing your designs carefully, submit your works to them, and wait for the their approval by the processing of review takes a 4 months before but just this year, it takes just a months and they inform you if your designs were approved.  I try to submit my  design to them using online photoshop, but unfortunately, for lack of techniques about it, I've got rejected, for lack of clear ownership of my works (read here).

by the way, lots of people in Japan now making lots of money just by selling stamp for a line. just avoid illustrating something. A total 42 images must be uploaded in a png format—one main 240-by-240-pixel image, one 96-by-74-pixel chat room tab image, and the 40 370-by-320-pixel stickers. goodluck..
