Ann Taylor Photoshop Fail

Today in the most breaking-est of breaking style news: not to be outdone -- or under-retouched -- Ann Taylor has one-upped rival Photochopper Victoria's Secret, apparently erasing a model's left arm in this picture for the brand's "Twist Neck Short Sleeve Tee."

Ol' Annie was clever enough to pull the image in question from its website (so we found it in the cache for your viewing pleasure) and replace it with a variety of color options, all of which come with two upper body limbs.

Sites You Should Be Wasting Time On Right Now

Why was the Internet invented? For the proliferation of information? News?

Keeping in touch with friends and family?

Well, you might be doing it wrong. The correct answer is "procrastination." But it's not too late to correct yourself!

Here are seven sites this week for you to waste time on and ignore your actual responsibilities.

3eanuts

It seems like every week, a new meme pops up that alters "Garfield" or "The Family Circus" for comedic effect. But comic strip customization has rarely been as effective or as sad as 3eanuts, in which the last panel of a "Peanuts" comic strip is eliminated, throwing Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty and the gang into various existential episodes. Good grief.

Cinema Nutrition

Good movies can be food for the soul, so it's only fitting that someone would break down their health value. Cinema Nutrition gives by-the-numbers breakdowns of your favorite movies.

Calliope Songs

Indulge your inner Mark Twain by spending some time on this extraordinarily researched site that not only gives extensive background on steamboats, but offers more calliope songs than you ever knew you cared about. (Seriously, just listen to one calliope tune, and don't be surprised if you find yourself sipping mint juleps and cooling yourself with ice cubes by the end of the work day.)

deviantArt Sucks

Ah, deviantArt -- a great site for burgeoning artists to show off their work, and also a great site to post your creepy anime/fetish art. DeviantArt Sucks trashes the worst of the site with a focused, and hilarious, rage.

Body Browser

Google Labs is so vast that some truly incredible work remains largely hidden from the public. One such feature is Body Browser, an excellent tool for taking an interactive look at how the human body functions.

I Always Wondered

While many sites are written to explain science in layman's terms, rarely are they as they as engaging -- or feature as beautifully illustrated graphics -- as I Always Wondered.

Wikibombs

Wikibombs that hilariously captures all the best Wikipedia vandalism before it's taken down. Unfortunately, the site went down last week shortly after we featured it, so many of you weren't able to get there. Now it's back, so here's the link again in case you missed the Wikibomb goodness.

Kohima War Hero's Courage is Marked By City 67 Years After His Death

Plaque unveiled to young lieutenant who gave his life covering the retreat of his men

In memoriam: Lieutenant John Young's individual bravery will be marked with a plaque at his home

The bravery of a war hero is to be honoured in Glasgow, 67 years after his death.

A granite plaque is being unveiled outside the west end home of Lieutenant John Young, who died in the campaign against Japan in 1944 aged 24.

Lieutenant Young was killed while covering the retreat of his men in north-east India.

Their tactics allowed the inhabitants and garrison of Kohima to prepare themselves for the 64-day assault on the city which followed, and which ended in Japanese defeat.

The battle of Kohima, as the Japanese tried to invade British-ruled India, is regarded as a turning point of the war.

Lieutenant Young was a soldier in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders attached to the Assam Regiment.

The previously hidden story of his bravery was uncovered by Glasgow advertising firm boss Roy McCallum, who came across it while researching his own family's military service.

He brought it to the attention of local councillor Jim Mackechnie, who persuaded the council that John Young's courage should be marked.

The Lord Provost of Glasgow, Bob Winter, will unveil a granite plaque outside 7 Jedburgh Gardens, in the west end, on Wednesday at 10.45am.

CAG Flays BADP Irregularities in Mizoram

Aizawl, Mar 30 : The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has flayed the Mizoram's Rural Development Department for irregularities in the implementation of the Border Area Development Programme in the state, which shares international borders of 404 kms with Myanmar and 318 kms with Bangladesh.

''The main objective of the programme for a speedy development of the border area was not achieved to the desired extent due to inherent deficiency in planning and implementation of the programme (on the part of the state government),'' the CAG said in its report for the year ended March 31, 2010, laid in the state Assembly by Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla today.

''The rural development failed to prepare comprehensive district plans. A baseline survey was yet to be conducted. There was no attempt to converge the schemes, sponsored by the state government and the Centre, with the BADP,'' the CAG said.

Moreover, the Mara and Lai autonomous district councils were not given any role in execution of the programme in their respective district councils.

It was further noticed that the villages dotted near the international borders of Myanmar and Bangladesh were not identified for preparation of annual action plan for 2009-2010, thereby obviating the very purpose of prioritising these villages.

In violation of the prescribed financial rules, the department drew an amount of Rs 46.76 crore during 205-2010 presenting false bills to the government’s treasury before actual commencement of approved works, the CAG said.

Out of Rs 103.40 crore drawn during 2005-2010, only Rs 23.40 crore (23 per cent) was released to the implementing border blocks, and the remaining Rs 80 crore (77 per cent) was disbursed in the subsequent financial years, causing abnormal delay, the report revealed.

Against the BADP guidelines, the department disproportionately allocated Rs 87 crore to 16 border blocks during 2006-2010 without giving equal weightage of population criteria, it was also noted by the CAG.

Further, the department incurred an expenditure of Rs 6.71 crore during 2005-2010 towards execution of 134 'ineligible' works, mainly pertaining to construction of office buildings, residential accommodations and rest houses, the CAG flayed.

Despite the fact that the BADP guidelines emphasised that no single sector gets a disproportionately large share of total allocation, it was noticed that the expenditure under infrastructure sector alone constituted 55 per cent of the total expenditure.

The expenditure under social, education, security, health and agriculture sector accounted for two to 19 per cent of the total expenditure, the report said.

It was also revealed by the CAG that BDOs of eight border blocks completed 34 works/schemes during 2005-06 to 2009-10 at a cost of Rs 5.40 crore against the original approved estimated cost of Rs 3.32 crore with spilled over of works/schemes from two to six years, resulting in cost over-run of Rs 2.08 crore.

''As a result, the BADP failed to meet the needs of the people living in remote and inaccessible areas near the borders,'' the CAG report said.

Myanmar Military Announces End of Junta After Over 2 Decades

Yangon, Mar 30 : Myanmar's military supremo announced that the junta that ruled the country for the past two decades would be disbanded Wednesday in favour of a newly elected government.

Party leader Thein Sein was reportedly sworn in as Myanmar's new president Wednesday morning, sources said.

He replaced Than Shwe as head of state.

Similar ceremonies were held to swear in other cabinet members and all elected parliamentarians, sources said.

He however, pointed out that the Union Home Ministry was considering the proposals of starting border huts to boost border trade between Tripura and Bangladesh, while launching of flight service on Agartala-Dhaka-Chittagong route was also on active consideration of the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

To enhance the connectivity, both sides have already finalised the alignment of Agartala-Akhaura railway link and technical survey would begin soon.

The Ministry of External Affairs would spent Rs 146 Crore for track laying work in Bangladesh side and Rs 105 Crore would be spent by DoNER for construction in Indian side, he added.

Model Poonam Pandey To Go Nude if India Cricket Wins Cup

New Delhi: Some fans pour milk on cut-outs of their favourite cricketers, some hold chain prayer meetings for divine intervention during the Indo-Pak epic semifinal clash on Wednesday at Mohali, while there are still others who vow to shed all their clothes if India lifts the World Cup trophy.

Model and cricket fan Poonam Pandey has promised to strip naked in the view of thousands if India wins the Mohali semifinal against Pakistan and eventually lifts the Cup, though she is also open to a players' dressing room peep show if the Indian cricket board permits it, reports said.

The Kingfisher Calender girl's intention to bare all is bound to pile on additional pressure on the Indian cricket team already coping with mounting crowd expectations at home, not having won the Cup since 1983.

Poonam recently started a fan page on Facebook to cheer the Indian team. She follows in the footsteps of Paraguay's Larissa Riquelme and Argentinian Luciane Salazar who promised to strip if their football teams won the FIFA World Cup.
