Feminism Turned Mom into Monster | Liberty RoundTable

My mom fell for the whole feminist shit agenda, and now my family and I are paying the price?

?

(henrymakow.com)

?

The baby boomer generation has been living off the fumes of an America that is now gone, and is crumbling into a demoralized modern Babylon.

Nobody, especially older baby boomers give a damn about anything. I see so many older males in their late 50?s,60?s and early 70?s paying more attention to Viargra and more worried about how many rounds of golf they are able to get in?.rather than helping the up and coming generation. It?s all about ME ME ME.

For example, my parents were married 30+ years. I had a nice family, two older brothers and one older sister. I was the baby in the family . I?m currently 21. On New Years day, 2008. my mother left my father. I was only 16 years old at the time and was being suspended from the Catholic high school I was attending. (I could write a whole article on the Catholic school system and the hypocrisy , but I?ll save that for another day)

Only six months after my parents divorce, my mother found a man named John McGrath on Match.Com?.now putting the story aside for a moment let me say this, Match.Com and all of these other dating sites are enabling people to easily dump their once lifetime partners, and simply shop on the web for a new piece of meat.

So to put it in simple terms?My mother who is now 61, dumped my father after 31 years of marriage, found a new husband on match.com and moved in with this man. My mother would not let my father keep the family home. We had an acre of land, a 2-story home and a really nice house.

My father paid every bill and even commuted an hour and one half to Cleveland, OH everyday from where we lived, every day because he could not find his kind of work in the area that we lived in which is economically devastated. My father commuted and paid the bills on time and never cheated once on my mother?

All my mother had to do was buy groceries?and help somewhat with my Catholic high school tuition?(which was extremely expensive, but they are doing it for God?right! no not really, and the high school treated you like garbage if you did not play football)

Anyways what I am trying to say is that modern day women, especially American women have been brainwashed by this sick,demented culture. TV channels such as Lifetime highly contribute to this sick Illuminati agenda being shoved down our throats every day.

My mom , I love her and would always help her?but I feel betrayed because she fell for this manipulated culture , being molded into our everyday lives just because a few wealthy degenerative families can keep their monopoly on our credit creation. Henry I had a very nice house, lots of nice land, now I am living in a motel with my father in the middle of the country out in North East Ohio.

The divorce economically devastated my family, but not my mother. She has her new husband (meal-ticket) and is living in his house and working for him. She just purchased a new car , but the car is registered in her husband?s name. So my mother left my dad, my family and is now helping a stranger she did not even know 5 years ago with his car-payments and mortgage. I contribute all of this to the sick demented New World Order .

Henry, as I said my father was a caring man and he registered my old house in both his name and my mothers?Even though he made all the house payments towards the marriage. But once the divorce came, my mother demanded that my father buy her out, and give her half of what the house is worth, or sell it and give her half?

She didn?t even have the compassion to let my father keep that house and let my siblings and I to always have a place to call home?nope but she has her new house. My mother is basically with a dude she didn?t even know 5 years ago that she met on match.com, let my boyhood home go in foreclosure and has ultimately changed the course of my life.

All of my friends, especially close friends have parents that stuck it out and stayed together because they knew that getting divorced would have devastated their children?s future both mentally and economically. For instance my best friend Erick, has two loving parents that supported him and through their moral decisions.

Erick is now able to go to college and have a positive future?in my case?my mother threw away any chance of me going to college, it was more important to her to dump my dad after 31 years of marriage and say to herself ,?YOU ARE TOO CONTROLLING, I AM NO LONGER DEALING WITH YOUR BEHAVIOR?. Meaning my father was a old-fashioned man who wasn?t going to have a wife who walked all over him while he paid every single bill to support his family.

My mother was always seeking attention and probably what caused her inflated ego was the manipulated culture she saw on TV,RADIO etc? TV is constantly degrading men and making them look like complete foots, as if they never grew up. For instance the show called Ray Ramono is a great example to show just how stupid and emasculated men are being portrayed as on TV?..Henry I would love to keep writing more about my parents divorce but there is just so much to say that I simply cannot put it all into words. I will make a video for you tommorow and post it on youtube.

In conclusion though Henry, young kids, especially people in their 20?s now are being manipulated by this horrific infiltration by the NWO, mostly by their subversion through entertainment and media.

My mom fell for the whole feminist shit agenda, and now my family and I are paying the price?and as for college?forget college, I have the whole internet in my hands with amazing knowledge and articles, in which I can educate my self, rather than pay a over-paid liberal professor a exorbitant salary for spouting the new world order talking points.

Are you Prepared for Your Next Test? | VMware End-User ...

by Geoffrey Murase, Solutions Marketing, VMware

The push to move from paper and pencil to online testing for state assessments hit a bump in the road earlier this year when the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress Plus or ?ISTEP+? state assessment program encountered some problems.? Below is an excerpt from an NPR article that summarizes the incident:

?On Monday, April 29, 2013, Indiana students in Grades 3-8 began taking online portions of the state?s standardized test, the ISTEP+. Between 8 and 9 a.m. Eastern, the testing website began locking students out of the exam. Some students were unable to log into their exams. Others were locked out of the testing website during their exams, forcing students to wait in front of ?Please Wait? screens featuring an image of a globe ? the infamous ?globe screen.?? In total, the computer problems disrupted around 30,000 testing sessions, state education officials reported. Many districts decided to suspend testing for the day.?

At the time, administrators had a difficult time identifying the root cause of the problem and almost two months later, testing company executives testified that the servers handling the traffic did not have enough memory to support the load.? When all was said and done, it was found that over 145,000 tests were flagged as ?disrupted? in one way or another.? Now the state has hired The National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment to perform an independent analysis of the data and come up with a recommendation.? This may ultimately lead to throwing out the results.

This experience accentuates the importance of ensuring the error-free delivery of online testing for these state assessments.? What will happen if the results are thrown out?? Will students have to retake the test?? How will school, teacher, and student performance be measured and how will state funding be allocated?

In this case, the cause of the problem was found to be in the testing servers, not the test delivery system.? However, test administrators would similarly question the validity of test results if the test delivery system somehow failed.? This is where the value of delivering tests using virtual desktops becomes clear.

In an earlier blog post, I wrote about how VMware has worked closely with online testing industry leader Pearson to achieve ?TestNav Qualified? status for delivering online tests in a Horizon View virtual desktop environment.? This qualification ensures that online tests can be delivered securely, error-free, and with a good user experience.? More specifically, the stringent requirements to achieve TestNav Qualified status include:

  • While logging in concurrently, no error messages are received
  • The first test item/question of the test loads fully at the same speed as the baseline amount of less than 45 seconds
  • While interacting with all test items/questions there are no noticeable curser lags, input lags or delays in tool engagement as compared to the baseline epat
  • While interacting with video, audio, and TEI test items/questions there are no significant lags or delays compared to baseline epat
  • There is no noticeable delay when navigating from test item/question to test item/question
  • All tools work correctly as demonstrated in the baseline ePAT
  • At submit, no error message is received
  • When hitting submit the response is at the same speed as the baseline amount of 10 seconds
  • From ?login? to ?submit? the desktop is secure and the system does not allow access to any application, content, or other service beyond the TestNav 7.5 test assessment delivery system
  • From ?login? to ?submit? the system does not allow any screen captures, printing, saving or other electronic replication or duplication of the display screen, source code or content of the test
  • All data is encrypted between client and server for the entirety of the usage period

Pearson TestNav delivers over 9 million tests annually and ensuring the integrity of the results should be one of the highest priorities for administrators.? Delivering Pearson TestNav online tests with VMware? Horizon View? eliminates the stress of worrying about an ?Indiana-like? debacle due to online test delivery errors and lets administrators and teachers focus on what they do best.

Channel 4 brings offline viewing to 4oD for Android and iOS

Channel 4 brings offline viewing to 4oD for Android and iOS

The UK's Channel 4 is no stranger to on-demand programming, and now it's bringing the convenience of offline viewing to the mobile version of 4oD. In the latest update for Android and iOS, registered users can download shows that aired during the past 30 days, all for free. From there, users have seven days to view the content before it expires. There's a subtle catch, as all programming must be downloaded over WiFi, from within the UK or the Republic of Ireland. Once downloaded, however, shows can be watched offline from anywhere. Offline viewing is currently restricted to the network's commissioned shows, but it's looking to add programming from other studios in the future. Consider this Channel 4's way of keeping up with the Joneses... or in this case, the BBC.

Dropbox announces the Dropbox Platform, syncing with third-party apps, Mailbox integration

STUB Dropbox announces TKTK

At Dropbox's first DBX developer conference in San Francisco, CEO Drew Houston announced a new Dropbox Platform for developers, which is essentially a suite of tools to make it easier for apps to access data across devices and operating systems. Built on top of the Sync API, Houston says the new Dropbox Platform is designed to "replace the hard drive" and that "sync is the new save." There's the Datastore API, which lets you sync data like contacts, to-do items and game state -- so you can save your Angry Birds level across your different gadgets for example. Another key platform component is the "Drop-in," which lets developers drop just a few lines of code for cross-platform compatibility. Two such drop-ins are the "chooser," which gives apps instant access to files in Dropbox, and "Saver, which provides one-click saving to the cloud. These tools have been around already, but are just now available for native iOS and Androd apps. Some of the third-party companies that have signed onto the new Dropbox Platform include Shutterstock, PicMonkey, Asana, Yahoo! Mail, Animoto, 1Password, CloudOn, FedEx and Fargo.

As part of the announcement, Dropbox also touted a new feature for Mailbox -- that much-hyped app that Dropbox bought in March. It will now finally be able to send attachments directly from the app, which is something that the native iOS client can't do. All you'll have to do is tap the paper clip icon to open a list of Dropbox files, select your file and away you go. We've included a screenshot of the Mailbox interface after the break.

Stocks log 4-day rally; Nasdaq best in 13 years

stocks

4 hours ago

Stocks logged their fourth-straight winning session on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 about 1 percent below its all-time closing high and the Nasdaq posting its best close since October 2000, lifted by a positive start to second-quarter earnings season.

"At the pace we are going at, the S&P could be challenging the May high at 1,687 by the end of the week," wrote Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. "The bulls will surely be cheerleading for that but those that live in the real world of owning a lot of the market's merchandise that is still under water, will not be in a celebratory mood."

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied for its fourth-straight session, to close 75 points, or half a percent higher, at 15,300.34, led by Cisco and Caterpillar. The blue-chip index is over 100 points from its record close of 15,409.39.

The S&P 500 finished at 1,652.32 -- 17 points off its all-time highest close -- and the Nasdaq also finished higher, at 3,504.26. The Russell 2000 index hit another all-time high. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, slid near 14.

Most key S&P sectors closed higher, lifted by industrials and materials, while telecoms slipped.

"The good news is that earnings expectations have been ratcheted down over the past few weeks," said Todd Salamone, director of research at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "Lowered expectations are good because that's a lower hurdle to jump over?and a lot depends on the outlook."

Dow component Alcoa posted earnings and revenue that topped Wall Street expectations, adding it remains optimistic that global demand for aluminum will grow 7 percent this year. Shares of the aluminum maker initially opened higher, but quickly reversed their gains. Alcoa unofficially marks the start to each earnings season.

As of Friday, 122 S&P 500 companies had made earnings pre-announcements, and the ratio of negative-to-positive ones was 6.5-to-one, according to Reuters. That is the biggest percent of negative readings since 2001.

Some major banks turned lower after U.S. regulators proposed a plan that would force the country's largest financials to hold twice as much equity capital than required by the global Basel III bank capital standards.The eight largest banks would be subject to a leverage ratio of 6 percent.

JPMorgan and Wells Fargo are scheduled to report earnings later this week.

On the economic front, small business optimism slipped in June from its one-year high amid uncertainty over the economic recovery, according to the National Federation of Independent Business.

The government auctioned $32 billion in 3-year notes at a high yield of 0.719. The bid-to-cover ratio, an indicator of demand, was 3.35, versus the recent average of 3.50.

Meanwhile, the IMF shaved its 2013 global growth forecast to 3.1 percent, citing slowdown in emerging economies and ongoing worries in Europe. It also lowered its outlook for 2014 to 3.8 percent, down from a 4 percent expansion.

In Asia, investors largely ignored unexpectedly high consumer inflation numbers from China, despite fears that strong price rises will rule out the prospect of monetary easing by the Chinese central bank.

"CPI [consumer price inflation] data is not a market mover. Short-term focus is still on shadow banking. Investors are wondering if China's banking system can sustain a decline in GDP [gross domestic product] growth," said Stephen Sheung, head of investment strategy at SHK Private.

Meanwhile, Japan's benchmark index closed just shy of a new six-week high, as the dollar-yen trade breached the 101-yen handle.

Metal Gear's Shinkawa Draws Pacific Rim Poster & Japan's Creators Laud Film

Yoji Shinkawa, the artist best known for his work on the Metal Gear and Zone of the Enders game franchises, drew a poster for the Japanese RealD 3D release of Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim film. The illustration depicts the American Jaeger mecha Gypsy Danger posing over the crumpled body of the Kaiju (monster) Knifehead in Shinkawa's signature ink-brush style.

Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) personally asked Shinkawa to draw the poster, and the director commented that it is an honor to be to able to work with such an eminent Japanese artist and illustrator.

The creator of the Metal Gear and Zone of the Enders franchises himself, Hideo Kojima, photographed del Toro and Shinkawa together. Kojima gave his thoughts on the film last week:

I have never imagined that I would be fortunate enough to see a film like this in my life. The emotional rush I had inside me was the same kind I had when I felt the outer space via "2001: A Space Odyssey" and when I had touched the dinosaur in "Jurassic Park". Animation and special effects movies and shows that I loved in my childhood days - they all truly exist in the screen.

Director Guillermo del Toro offers this spectacular vision of massive kaijus and robots in PACIFIC RIM. This film is not simply a film to be respected, but most importantly, it let us dream the future of entertainment movies. Pacific Rim is the ultimate otaku film that all of us had always been waiting for. Who are you, if you are Japanese and won't watch this?

I hope you would accept this inspirational love letter that had traveled across the Pacific, written by Director Guillermo del Toro.

Manga and anime pioneer Go Nagai (Mazinger Z, Devilman, Cutey Honey) said, "I was overwhelmed by the intense kaij? vs. giant robot action. It was fun!" Evangelion character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto compared the film to a huge, satisfying feast with the best prime cuts from Japanese tokusatsu (special-effects) and anime works.

Game designer Fumito Ueda (Ico, Shadow of the Colossus) remarked that Japanese tokusatsu films burned an indelible mark on his impressionable mind when he saw them as a child. Years later, he said that this film has battle scenes that surpass those images etched into his nostalgic memories.

The Pacific Rim film is about a futuristic war between humans and beasts called ?Kaiju? (Japanese for monster) that rose from a portal in the Pacific Ocean and have killed millions of lives. The humans then create robots called Jaegers (German for hunter) as a counter-measure to the threat.

Warner Brothers hired many familiar names for the Japanese dub cast of the film:

The film will open in American theaters on Friday, and in Japanese theaters on August 8.

Del Toro is developing a live-action television adaptation of Naoki Urasawa's suspense manga Monster, and he already outlined the first season's episodes so Urasawa can review it before giving permission.

Egypt's emerging leaders after Morsi's overthrow

CAIRO (AP) ? A look at some of the top figures emerging in Egypt after the military removed President Mohammed Morsi:

?Interim President Adly Mansour, 67, a judge:

Mansour emerged from near-obscurity when he became head of the Supreme Constitutional Court, two days before Egypt's military chief announced last Wednesday that Morsi had been deposed and was to be replaced by the chief justice.

Mansour's career in the judiciary took a prominent turn in 1984, when he became a judge on the state council and then its vice president. In 1992, he was appointed vice president to the Supreme Constitutional Court. He became chief justice following his predecessor's retirement on June 30.

He was sworn in as Egypt's interim president on Thursday.

?Army chief and Defense Minister Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, 58:

El-Sissi stepped onto the center stage of Egyptian politics when the military on July 1 gave Morsi a 48-hour ultimatum to resolve his differences with the opposition after millions took to the streets on June 30 to demand the Islamist leader leave power. On Wednesday, el-Sissi announced Morsi's removal.

A graduate of the Egyptian military academy and the U.S. Army War College, el-Sissi was appointed commander in chief of the Egyptian armed forces in August 2012, replacing Field Marshall Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, who was ordered into retirement by Morsi.

?Interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, 76, a prominent economist:

Egypt's military-backed interim president named el-Beblawi as prime minister on Tuesday. He previously served as finance minister and held the title of deputy prime minister in one of the first cabinets formed after the 2011 uprising forced Hosni Mubarak from power and the military stepped in to rule. He resigned in protest three months later after 26 demonstrators, mostly Christians, were killed by troops and security forces in a crackdown on their march.

He is one of the founders of the Egyptian Social Democratic party, one of several secular parties in the liberal grouping National Salvation Front.

?Interim Vice President Mohammed ElBaradei, 71, former director of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency:

Originally pegged to be interim prime minister, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate was opposed by religious conservatives. Mansour named ElBaradei as vice president on Tuesday.

With a long career on the international scene, ElBaradei served as an Egyptian diplomat to the United Nations and later as an aide to Egypt's foreign minister. He was the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency for nearly 12 years. He and the IAEA shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.

After popular protests toppled Mubarak in February 2011, ElBaradei emerged as a democracy advocate and later as an opposition leader in the National Salvation Front. After a series of widely criticized moves by Morsi, ElBaradei said members of the dominant Muslim Brotherhood lived "in a delusion" for thinking they could manage the country on their own.

Crash investigators turn to cockpit decisions

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Investigators trying to understand why Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash-landed focused Monday on the actions of an experienced pilot learning his way around a new aircraft, fellow pilots who were supposed to be monitoring him and why no one noticed that the plane was coming in too slow.

Authorities also reviewed the initial rescue efforts after fire officials acknowledged that one of their trucks may have run over one of the two Chinese teenagers killed in the crash at San Francisco International Airport. The students were the accident's only fatalities.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said investigators watched airport surveillance video to determine whether an emergency vehicle hit one of the students. But they have not reached any firm conclusions. A coroner said he would need at least two weeks to rule in the matter.

The students had been in the rear of the aircraft, where many of the most seriously injured passengers were seated, Hersman said.

The NTSB also said part of the jet's tail section was found in San Francisco Bay, and debris from the seawall was carried several hundred feet down the runway, indicating the plane hit the seawall on its approach.

Investigators have said Flight 214 was flying "significantly below" its target speed during approach when the crew tried to abort the landing just before the plane smashed onto the runway. Authorities do not know yet whether the pilot's inexperience with the Boeing 777 and landing it at San Francisco's airport played a role.

The airline acknowledged Monday in Seoul that the pilot at the controls had flown that type of plane for only a short time and had never before landed one at that airport.

Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said pilot Lee Gang-guk had logged nearly 10,000 hours operating other planes but had only 43 hours in the 777, a plane she said he was still getting used to.

It's not unusual for veteran pilots to learn about new aircraft by flying with more experienced colleagues. Another pilot on the flight, Lee Jeong-min, had 12,390 hours of flying experience, including 3,220 hours on the 777, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in South Korea.

Lee Jeong-min was the deputy pilot helping Lee Gang-guk get accustomed to the 777, according to Asiana Airlines.

It was unclear whether the other two pilots were in the cockpit, which in the Boeing 777 typically seats four. But that would be standard procedure at most airlines at the end of a long international flight.

NTSB lead investigator Bill English said pilot interviews were going slowly because of the need for translation. The interviews began only after agents from the Korean Aviation and Rail Accident Investigation Board arrived from South Korea.

New details of the investigation have also raised questions about whether the pilots may have been so reliant on automated cockpit systems that they failed to notice the plane's airspeed had dropped dangerously low, aviation safety experts and other airline pilots said.

Information gleaned from the Boeing 777's flight-data recorders revealed a jet that appeared to be descending normally until the last half-minute before impact.

The autopilot was switched off at about 1,600 feet as the plane began its final descent, according to an account of the last 82 seconds of flight provided by Hersman.

Over the next 42 seconds, the plane appeared to descend normally, reaching about 500 feet and slowing to 134 knots (154 mph), a 777 pilot for a major airline familiar with Hersman's description told The Associated Press. The pilot spoke on the condition of anonymity because his company had not authorized him to speak publicly.

But something went wrong during the following 18 seconds. The plane continued slowing to 118 knots (136 mph), well below its target speed of 137 knots (158 mph) that is typical for crossing the runway threshold. By that time, it had descended to just 200 feet.

Eight seconds later, with the speed still falling, Hersman said, the throttles were moved forward, an apparent attempt by the pilot to increase speed. But it was too little, too late.

Five seconds later, at 50 percent power, speed began to increase.

A key question raised by the NTSB's account is why two experienced pilots ? the pilot flying the plane and another supervising pilot in the other seat ? apparently didn't notice the plane's airspeed problem.

Part of the answer to that question may lie in whether the pilot flying, after switching off the autopilot, still had the plane's autothrottle engaged during the descent.

Aviation safety experts have long warned that an overreliance on automation is contributing to an erosion of pilots' stick-and-rudder flying skills. It's too soon to say if that was the case in the Asiana crash, but it's something NTSB investigators will be exploring, they said.

"It sounds like they let the airplane get slow and it came out from under them," said John Cox, a former US Airways pilot and former Air Line Pilots Association air crash investigator.

"There are two real big questions here: Why did they let the airplane get that slow, and where was the non-flying pilot, the monitoring pilot, who should have been calling out 'airspeed, airspeed, airspeed,' " Cox said.

More than 180 people aboard the plane went to hospitals with injuries. But remarkably, 305 of 307 passengers and crew survived, and more than a third didn't even require hospitalization. Only a small number were badly hurt.

The passengers included 141 Chinese, 77 South Koreans, 64 Americans, three Canadians, three Indians, one Japanese, one Vietnamese and one person from France. Asiana President Yoon Young-doo planned to leave for San Francisco later Tuesday to visit hospitalized passengers, according to Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin.

Twenty-three South Koreans have so far left for San Francisco to visit their injured family members and relatives since the crash, according to South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

After the crash, three firefighters ? and two police officers without safety gear ? rushed onto the plane to help evacuate trapped passengers, including one who was trapped under a collapsed bulkhead.

They had gotten everyone off the craft except one elderly man, who was in his seat, moaning and unable to move.

"We were running out of time," San Francisco Fire Department Lt. Dave Monteverdi recalled Monday at a news conference. "The smoke was starting to get thicker and thicker. So we had no choice. We stood him up and amazingly, he started shuffling his feet. That was a good sign...we were able to get him out and he was pretty much the last person off the plane."

The two dead passengers were identified as 16-year-old students from China who were scheduled to attend summer camp in California with dozens of classmates.

One of their bodies was found on the tarmac near where the plane's tail broke off when it slammed into the runway, the other was found on the left side of the plane about 30 feet (10 meters) away from where the jetliner came to rest after it skidded down the runway.

The flight originated in Shanghai, China, and stopped over in Seoul, South Korea, before making the nearly 11-hour trip to San Francisco.

NTSB investigators are also sure to examine whether pilot fatigue played a role in the accident, which occurred after a 10-hour nighttime flight. As is typical for long flights, four pilots were aboard, allowing the crew to take turns flying and resting. But pilots who regularly fly long routes say it's difficult to get restful sleep on planes.

The accident occurred in the late morning in San Francisco, but in Seoul it was 3:37 a.m.

"Fatigue is there. It is a factor," said Kevin Hiatt, a former Delta Air Lines chief international pilot. "At the end of a 10-hour flight, regardless of whether you have had a two-hour nap or not, it has been a long flight."

The two teenagers killed in the crash were close friends and top students.

Wang Linjia showed talent in physics and calligraphy; Ye Mengyuan was a champion gymnast who excelled in literature. Both were part of a trend among affluent Chinese families willing to spend thousands of dollars to send their children to the U.S. for a few weeks in the summer to practice English and hopefully boost their chances of attending a U.S. college ? considered better than China's alternatives by many Chinese families.

The girls posted their last messages on their microblog accounts Thursday and Friday. The last posting from Wang said simply, "Go."

Yikes! Even Celebrities Make Bad Tattoo Choices

Last week, Heidi Klum made her split from Seal even more official by starting to erase her tattoo dedicated to him. Sad as we are to see Heidi and Seal's love (literally) fade, this fashionista isn't the first to undo the body ink deed.

Microsoft?s Network of Sinking Ships: Barnes & Noble, Dell, Nokia

Say what you will about Microsoft , but the software giant that once dominated the computer industry can?t be accused of deserting sinking ships. Instead, it seems more inclined to plant its flag proudly on their bows.

As the WSJ?s Rolfe Winkler points out in his Heard on the Street column today:

Microsoft keeps hitching its fortunes to lame horses. It shows how rickety parts of the software giant?s business are.

Barnes & Noble Best Buy Nokia Yahoo and Dell all face very difficult circumstances of their own. While Microsoft?s deals with most of them make sense, its relatively unpopular products and a changing competitive environment mean they may not prove particularly fruitful.

Microsoft is still earning good money, as its operating system and software remains the default in the business world. In its most recent quarter, it made $6 billion in profit, up 19%. But in its battle for a piece of the lucrative tech markets of the future ? mobile, tablets, internet services ? it has teamed up with technology players with real troubles of their own. A brief summary of Microsoft?s difficult partnerships:

Barnes & Noble: The book seller recently announced it would give up on making its own tablet computers, choosing instead to find a third-party manufacturer to produce a co-branded product. Nook Media, the Barnes and Noble unit that owns its digital business and college bookstores, still produces a dedicated e-book reader and runs an electronic bookstore. Nook Media as a whole is struggling, and Microsoft owns 17.6% of the business, after investing $300 million in 2012. In May, TechCrunch reported that Microsoft was looking at taking over the digital side of the Nook business.

Yahoo: In 2009, Yahoo gave up on running its own search engine, signing a 10-year deal with Microsoft to use its Bing service across its online properties. Microsoft did the deal to boost the share of searches going through the struggling Bing, getting a 12% share of any search advertising revenue earned by Yahoo. But Bing is still struggling to gain traction, and Yahoo is now under the turnaround leadership of former Googler Marissa Mayer, who reportedly wants to drop the partnership, and likely has a more proven search engine in mind as the replacement.

Dell: With PC sales in freefall, the computer maker is in the process of ?being taken private by a consortium of investors including its founder, and Microsoft has agreed to chip in $2 billion in the process. Why? To stay close to a central player in the Windows PC ecosystem is the obvious answer, but also to keep Windows at the heart of the corporate IT systems that Dell is increasingly focusing on. Michael Dell has said the company needs to make big changes to avoid becoming a casualty of the declining fortunes of the PC industry, and those changes are most likely to happen as a private company, free from the pressure of quarterly earnings releases. Microsoft appears to be on board with that assessment.

Nokia: Since teaming up with Microsoft and its Windows Mobile operating system, the Finnish mobile maker?s fortunes have continued to decline, and the situation is looking grim, with increasing rumors of a buyout or sale of the company?s handset business. Nokia recently spent $2.2 billion billion buying out Siemens from their mobile network equipment joint venture, in another sign of where the company sees its dwindling cash pile best invested. Microsoft?considered buying the Nokia handset business, but stepped away from the deal due to a disagreement over how much it would be willing to pay.

Baseball Game, Balloon Release Honor Shooting Victim

Marinette County -

Family and friends remember the victim of a deadly shooting from last week.

A softball game and balloon release were held in memory of Tyler Walk Sunday in Marinette.

Authorities say he was killed by a 76-year-old man on Monday in the town of Pound.

Officials say Walk saw the man outside his aunt and uncle's cabin and called 9-1-1.

The call was lost and authorities found walk 15 minutes later in a truck that crashed into a house with a gunshot wound.

At?Sunday's memorial,?a friend who says he talked with Walk shortly before the?911 call remembered him as kind.

"Just 15 minutes prior to the shooting, to the 911 call, he called me, called me on my cell phone just to congratulate me on beating Colb," says?friend Tom?Mailand.?"We beat the first place team and it put us into a tie with them -- this is our girls' 14-youth team and that's just the way he was."

Everyone was also invited to write a personal message on a balloon for Walk.

The balloons were then released before the game at the short stop position, where he used to play.

Walk's nephew threw out the first pitch, in memory of an uncle that friends say was a big part of his life.

A memorial fund for Walk is set up at Stephenson National Bank and Trust in Marinette.
