In 1989, while touring India, Gold met Thinlay, a Tibetan refugee, who invited him to his home. Thinlay’s wife, Tsering, welcomed him but kept holding her ears—she was suffering from a painful, deadly infection. Gold found her a physician and bought the antibiotic she needed. It cost just $1—and saved Tsering’s life. Then Gold spent $35 on a hearing aid so she could return to work and her son could go to school. “When I pressed the switch to turn on the hearing aid, her burst of joy burned into my brain,” Gold recalls. “I was thunderstruck, realizing I could restore her hearing for a relative pittance. I thought you had to be wealthy to do such things.”
Hilarious Snow Maze Prank
Clearing off a pathway for people to walk after a large snow fall is a very descent thing to do, but you might as well have fun with it like these guys did!
It's only a few feet of snow, but this is how New York looks right now. People consider this The Snowpocalypse but, while it looks like Yeti zombies are going to appear at anytime, it's nothing compared to this [Updated]

After cursing the weather yesterday and today, these photos kind of make me feel like a wimp. But having said that, the blizzard yesterday was scary. I was coming from Madrid at night and the landing—preceded by a 45-minute flyover delay—was terrifying. I had to come to my home in the subway because all roads were collapsed, even while there was barely a few inches of snow in them.
Now I seem to be trapped at home. I'm looking through my window and my street is completely white. There's no traffic, and the parked cars are half covered with snow. How a city like New York can get to this state, especially after they knew the blizzard was coming, I will never understand. [Yfrog via Twitter]

Rahm EmanuelThis is a tragic day in Chicago, and a reminder that thousands of men and women put their lives on the line each day to protect the rest of us. The two brave Chicagoans our city lost today will never be forgotten. And all Chicagoans are wishing the 14 injured firefighters a speedy recovery. Amy and my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased and recovering firefighters during this difficult time.on Wednesday

In some kind of weird founder solidarity, the slide was originally posted on Twitter by MyBlogLog founder Eric Marcoullier.
Listed under the ominous “Sunset” are: Delicious, Altavista, MyBlogLog, Yahoo! Bookmarks, Yahoo! Picks
Under “Merge” are: Upcoming, FoxyTunes, Sideline, FireEagle, Yahoo Events and Yahoo People Search.
The official response from Yahoo:
“Part of our organizational streamlining involves cutting our investment in underperforming or off-strategy products to put better focus on our core strengths and fund new innovation in the next year and beyond.
We continuously evaluate and prioritize our portfolio of products and services, and do plan to shut down some products in the coming months such as Yahoo! Buzz, our Traffic APIs, and others. We will communicate specific plans when appropriate.”
For the few of you unaware this is PR speak for, “We confirm.”
Microsoft is really at war with Google and improves on all fronts! Too bad most of these upgrades are limited to some American city, I hope they will also get to Europe soon.
At the Bing Search event in San Francisco today, Microsoft unveiled a dizzying array of nearly across-the-board updates and improvements for Bing online and mobile apps. Some are minor and some are more significant. Most of these upgrades and feature enhancements will be available starting today or later this month.
Facebook-related:
- Like Annotations: Search results will now show which links on the main results page have been “liked” by a person’s Facebook friends.
- Social annotations: Bing is bringing “like” data into core search across all queries. Search results will now show which links on the search engine results page have been “liked” by a person’s Facebook friends. This feature will show what a person’s friends “liked” on the main results page and will be different for each user.
Local enhancements:
- OpenTable will be integrated into the local search vertical, allowing people to book reservations from the restaurant details page in Bing.
- FanSnap will be integrated into the local search vertical, allowing people to purchase tickets to a concert or sporting event through the events details page in Bing.
- Everyscape integration: Interior Views on business profile pages will allow people to see inside local restaurants and businesses with 360-degree panoramic views. These views will be accessible from the local search results. This feature will initially be available in Seattle, San Francisco and Boston.
Bing maps:
- Bing Maps will feature stronger differentiation and contrast between major and minor city streets so streets “pop” out more
- Venue maps provide detailed maps and directories of venues, such as shopping malls, airports, museums and college campuses, within Bing Maps.
- Improved Landmark Listings: Users now get contact information, related businesses, and landmark details immediately from the search for a landmark.
- Transit Routing: Transit directions will be available for the AJAX experience. Users can choose their desired departure time and choose among multiple routes with similar travel time. The initial cities in the release are: Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Newark Metro Area, New York Metro Area, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver BC, and Washington DC.
- Map Interface: The new Bing.com/Maps experience allows rich features to be more accessible by all users. In this release, the Map Apps button and Gallery can be viewed in the Bing.com/Maps (AJAX) site – once a Map App is opened, users without Silverlight will be shown how to download Silverlight to access Map Apps.
- Map App Search: Adds a search box to find map apps within the app gallery.
- The left-rail of the AJAX site will now guide users to some of Bing Maps’ key features – directions, traffic, business lookup, and map apps – and helps map apps to be more discoverable within the core experience.
Mobile (iPhone):
- Autosuggest: Bing intelligently narrows and refines restaurant and movie searches by suggesting query strings to help people plan the perfect night out.
- Bing Vision: Bring an object into the [camera] viewfinder, hold it still and Bing will detect text and present a highlighter tool to select words for a search. If the object has a barcode, Bing will instantly return product results. Search for a nearby business listing by pointing your camera at a landmark.
- Check-in: Share your current location with friends and family via Facebook, foursquare or Windows Live Activity Stream.
- iPhone Apps: Surfaces iPhone apps in search results, when relevant.
- Plans: From the Bing homepage or a local search result, people can plan a night out and share the plan with friends via Facebook, who can comment or join the plan.
- Opentable and Grubhub integration: With the integration of Opentable and Grubhub into Bing for Mobile, once you find your restaurant of choice, you can reserve a table on OpenTable or order takeout from Grubhub without leaving the Bing app.
- Real-Time Transit Predictions: Real-time updates for Boston, San Francisco and Seattle allow commuters to see if transit options are on schedule, early or delayed, with predictions for arrival times.
- Reminders: Create a “to-do” list and set reminders to receive alerts when near a specific location.
- Enhanced StreetSide: Helps people orient themselves in unfamiliar places by stitching together and panning across street-level imagery of businesses, addresses or landmarks.
Mobile (Android):
- Search Widget: expands beyond the ability to search contacts, apps, audio files or the Web and includes ability to search third party apps that register to be searchable.
- Share Command: Share content with friends using any loaded app that can accept and share content (images, URLs, etc.).
- Opentable and Grubhub integration: With the integration of Opentable and Grubhub into Bing for Mobile, you can reserve a table on OpenTable or order takeout from Grubhub without leaving the Bing app.
Travel:
- Flight Summary: Displays an instant set of airfares as users enter flight details such as cities and dates. This provides people with an approximate cost for their trip without having to complete a full search, and allows people to see alternative travel options that could help save money or provide a better value.
- Flight Answers: Flight search options have expanded to include Flight Answers, which utilize flight search and top deals. Users can type “I want to fly to Paris next January” and find a form pre-filled with January dates, or try “fly SEA to SFO on Dec 9 returning Dec 12” to find precise flight information. Users can also construct queries around one-way, non-stop and airline-specific requests.
- Destination Pages: Bing’s new destination pages pull together all the key information on a city, saving you time and energy: flights and hotels, images, attractions, events, maps and a weather overview.
- Attraction Answers: Bing attractions now features 60K attractions Worldwide, ~20K attractions US.
Image search:

Why Me (Lord) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_LkezUKS40
Kris Kristofferson Johnny Cash Waylon Jennings Willie Nelson Highwaymen
The song was Number 1 in the country charts in 1972 - Kris' first as an artist in his own right and
in 1973 it won the Dove award for the "Gospel Song of the Year", beating off nine other nominies.
There is a nice story about how he came to write this song. Kris told it in an interview. To make a long story short, Kris hadn't been to church since his wedding to Fran in 1961, and then a girl ("I 'd go anywhere she asked me to go") took him to that church in Hendersonville. Kris was inexplicably moved by Larry Gatlin singing "Help me" and everything that was happening there and in the end he found hisself doing weird things there he never thought he ever would do or let happen in front of a bunch of strange people. But when it was over he felt like some big burden had been lifted off his shoulders and the words for this song came without thinking up, he was just holding the pen...

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”
