CuteNews is a news management or blog publishing system written by Georgi Avramov in PHP and backed by a flat file database. It is distributed under the as is license and is available free of charge (although a subscription fee is required to remove the advertising lines). The latest version is 1.4.5. The development team is led by Georgi Avramov.
Features
The main feature that differentiates it from most other blog publishing systems is that all data is stored in flat text files which means database software such as MySQL is not required.
The main features of CuteNews revolve around the ability for webmasters and site administrators to post news to their blog or website dynamically using the software. Visitors for the website can then comment on these posts, if the webmaster has enabled this. News posts can be specified into customizable categories which can be handled however the webmaster requires.
In the admin panel of CuteNews, administrators can add news posts, or edit existing news posts and comments using a WYSIWYG editor. They can customise the look of their news using pre-set or custom templates, archive old news and change user or general settings. Finally, users can be blocked if necessary, and backups of news in text files can be made.
Users that wish to remove the "Powered by CuteNews" line at the bottom of the system pages can now purchase an official CuteNews site license, which is around $40 (USD).
Past Versions
*Version 1.4.0 (was the version after 1.3.6) and with it the GPL license is in question. From that point on it has required purchase of a site license for around $40 (USD) to remove the Powered by CuteNews text at the bottom.
*Version 1.4.1 was the last version to precede 1.4.5 with a single error fix.
*Version 1.4.5 contains minor bug fixes.
Future
The latest version of CuteNews, 1.4.5, was released in May 2006 and there has been no news of a new version since then.
However, the development team recently said that CuteNews development had stopped and that they are now working on a completely new system to replace CuteNews. It will still have 'cute' in its title.

Outer Heaven is a fictional organization and a recurring concept in the Metal Gear series, introduced in 1987's Metal Gear.
Metal Gear
Originally, Outer Heaven was a gigantic, impenetrable fortress 200km north of Galzburg, South Africa. It was founded by legendary soldier Big Boss, and was the location where Metal Gear TX-55 was being built. This Outer Heaven was planning to achieve military supremacy over the western nations with the development of Metal Gear TX-55. However in 1995 during Operation Intrude N313, rookie FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake infiltrated Outer Heaven, and succeeded in rescuing the missing agent Gray Fox and destroying Metal Gear. Big Boss then confronted Snake, activating Outer Heaven's self destruct sequence, hoping to stall Snake long enough for him to kill Snake in blast (seeing as how Big Boss managed to survive not only the battle with Snake but ensuing explosion as well, it is safe to assume he had some sort of escape passage.)
Snatcher
"Outer Heaven" is also the name of a bar in that particular game
Metal Gear Solid
In 2005, rebelling members of FOXHOUND took over Shadow Moses along with the Genome army, and threatened the rest of the world with a new Metal Gear, Metal Gear REX. The leader of FOXHOUND, Liquid Snake (one of Big Boss's clones) believed that it was his genetic destiny to carry out his father's dream. To honor Big Boss’ dream and memory, Liquid Snake changed the name of Shadow Moses to Outer Heaven.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Solidus Snake used the term in 2009 as a code-name for his plan to take control away from The Patriots. His plan consisted on giving Arsenal Gear to Dead Cell operative Fortune, who Solidus knew would attempt to challenge the Patriots. Then, using her as a distraction to lure The Patriots fire, Solidus would detonate a nuclear warhead over wall street, which would act as a gigantic Electro-Magnetic Pulse over an entire area of America, taking control away from The Patriots. Solidus would then go on to eliminate the Patriots one by one. This plan, however, never came into fruition and by the end of the Manhattan Incident Solidus had been killed by Raiden.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Big Boss' inspiration for creating Outer Heaven is chronicled in Portable Ops.
Army’s Heaven was an idea created by Gene which inspired Big Boss to create Outer Heaven. Gene had collected funds, resources, men, and had the plan to build Army’s Heaven and control the world from the underground (much like The Patriots do). By the time of the FOX Unit’s Rebellion in 1970, he quickly devised a plan to make Army’s Heaven with the use of the FOX unit members and Red Army soldiers.
During the San Hyeronimo Incident, Gene’s plans of Global Domination dissipated when Big Boss fought against him to clear his name, and stopped him from launching Metal Gear into America. After Big Boss defeated Gene in a launch silo, Gene gave Big Boss a film which contained the funds and resources to build Army's Heaven. At the end, Gene died without seeing his vision come true. Yet a few decades later, Big Boss set up Outer Heaven.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
In the upcoming Guns of the Patriots, "Outer Haven" is an umbrella organization with control over five private military companies, set up by Liquid Ocelot.

Emily Sander (1989 - 2007), was an 18-year-old American college student and nude model reported missing on November 23, 2007 and found dead six days later.
Circumstances of disappearance
Sander was enrolled as a student at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas. Six days after her disappearance, on November 29, investigators found a body which they said matched a preliminary physical description of Sander. The body was found about 50 miles east of El Dorado.
Police are searching for Israel Mireles, who is identified as a "person of interest". According to police, Sander and Mireles were seen exiting a bar in east El Dorado on November 23, 2007. Later, blood and evidence of foul play was discovered in Mireles' motel room and Sander's car was found still parked at the bar. The rental car Mireles was driving was found abandoned Tuesday in Vernon, Texas, where he has relatives. Police believe he is with his pregnant girlfriend, Victoria Martens, and that he may have escaped to or is preparing to escape to Mexico.
According to the Tom Boren, police chief of the El Dorado Police Department, a special task force of FBI and Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents have been assigned to the case.
Online activity
It was revealed that Emily Sander was active as an Internet adult model under the pseudonym Zoey Zane. Friends of Sander say that she began to pose nude during the summer of 2007, shortly after her 18th birthday. According to her close friend Nikki Watson, Sander enjoyed the work and needed the money. Sander apparently kept her career mostly to herself, and only close friends knew about what she did for a living. They claim that when informed about her modeling, her boyfriend broke up with her.
The last entry in Sander's website was apparently made two days before her disappearance; the website has since then been replaced by a statement describing her as a "solo nude model" and urging to focus not on her online activities, but "on Emily's disappearance and the importance of finding Isreal Mireles." Investigators say they do not believe that Sander's modeling was connected with her disappearance.
