Seat of Seeing
- This page should be merged with Amon Hen.
|Seat of Seeing
|"Amon Hen" by Scott Peery
|General Information
|Summit of Amon Hen
|High chair within ruined battlements
The Seat of Seeing was an ancient chair built upon the summit of Amon Hen within a great circular stone-paved court surrounded by a battlement, all of which was in ruins when visited by Frodo Baggins. The high seat rested upon four carven pillars and could be reached by a stair of many steps.[1]
[edit] History
[edit] Early History
The high seat upon Amon Hen had been made in the days of the great kings, according to Aragorn.[2] Later it is stated that the Seat of Seeing was on the Hill of the Eye of the Men of Númenor.[1] It is thus open to interpretation whether the chair was built during the early years of Gondor or sometime in the Second Age. At the very least the high seat was built before the time of the Stewards, which meant that when Frodo sat there it was at a minimum 969 years old. One likely possibility is that the Seat of Seeing was built at the same time as the Argonath, which occurred after Minalcar defeated the Easterlings (in T.A. 1248) and took the name of Rómendacil II but before the end of his reign (he died in T.A. 1366).[3]
[edit] Later History
On 26 February T.A. 3019 after Frodo had fled from Boromir (part of the Breaking of the Fellowship) he came to the summit of the hill and, while still wearing the One Ring, sat in the high seat. At first he saw little but mist and shadows, but soon he perceived many visions, soundless but filled with bright living images. The visions he saw stretched far beyond the normal range of sight (for instance, he saw the Ethir Anduin, over 300 miles away and behind the Ered Nimrais) and everywhere he looked he saw signs of war. His glimpse of Minas Tirith filled him with hope, which was crushed when he looked at Barad-dûr. [1]
Frodo then became aware of the gaze of the Eye, which felt like a finger trying to nail him down. He jumped out of the chair and cowered with his hood covering his head. At that moment from some other point of power came another thought: "Take it off! Take it off! Fool, take it off! Take off the Ring!" Balanced between Eye and Voice, Frodo regained his ability to choose and removed the Ring an instant before he was discovered. Frodo then realized what he must do, which was to go to Mordor alone, and he left the Seat of Seeing behind.[1]
It has been speculated that the visions Frodo saw were due solely to the magical power of the Seat of Seeing. However, while searching for Frodo, Aragorn ran to the summit and sat on the chair.[4] Even though he was the heir of Isildur he saw no visions (although he was in a hurry and a bit distracted). It appears (since Frodo did not see far-off visions at other times while wearing the Ring) that it was a combination of the Seat of Seeing and the power of the Ring that gave Frodo this temporary effect.
The identity of the Voice that strove against the Eye was later revealed when Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas first meet Gandalf the White in Fangorn Forest. Gandalf informs the others that the Ring was nearly revealed to Sauron but "I sat in a high place, and I strove with the Dark Tower; and the Shadow passed".[5]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
- The scene at the Seat of Seeing is altered and condensed. Frodo, wearing the Ring, ran up a platform (no chair is seen) and the only vision he experienced was of Barad-dúr and the Eye. Confronted by the Eye and voice of Sauron, Frodo yanked off the Ring (with no outside help) and fell off the platform. Unlike the book, he then met Aragorn, told him he must leave, and Aragorn said he would have followed Frodo anywhere and not have taken the Ring. The force of Uruk-hai from Saruman then arrived and Frodo fled while Aragorn, later joined by Legolas and Gimli, fought the orcs on the hilltop.

I had been using an old watch that I'd covered in ding-all resin to make damn sure it was waterproof but the battery's finally run out so I'm considering buying a proper waterproof watch so I can make sure I don't get out too late or too early on the pre-work sessions and avoid parling tickets etc.
I'm thinking that salty water and wipe outs could be quite demanding of any manufacturers claims of waterproofness.
Are G-shocks up to it? Black, I notice you got one a year or two ago, is it still alive? And are they a bit bulky to go under the sleve? Any other suggestions anyone?

HIV 'cure' won't boost drug stocksMarch 6, 2013: 11:06 AM ET
By Zain Asher
Although it's a great example of the wonders of modern science, the recent miracle cure of a toddler with HIV in Mississippi will have likely have a neutral impact on the sales and share prices of the drug companies responsible.
"There's very little revenue-generating potential from these types of one-off cures," says M. Ian Somaiya, a healthcare analyst at Piper Jaffray. "The stock price will only move if there's a clear way it'll translate into sales and in this case there just isn't."
Three drugs were reportedly used to treat the infant: AZT (Zidovudine) and Lamivudine and Nevirapine. But a key factor in their success was that the baby began treatment almost immediately after birth. As a result, the combination won't necessarily have the same miraculous impact on HIV-infected adults.
So drug companies like Viiv Healthcare -- a joint venture between GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Pfizer (PFE) -- and Germany's Boehringer Ingelheim, which makes Nevirapine, will be hard-pressed to capitalize financially on the good news.
Further, even if the cure could be repeated in other HIV-infected babies – this still translates into a very narrow market for drug companies. Babies born with HIV are relatively rare in developed countries. In the United States, roughly only 200 babies are born with the virus each year. That's because pregnant mothers with the disease are often treated with a cocktail of antiretroviral drugs well before delivery.
Related: HIV 'cure' at risk from budget cuts
There's also the fact that HIV drug manufacturers make money from patients being dependent on these drugs for the rest of their lives. The price of HIV drugs is steep -- they can cost between $15,000 and $20,000 a year per patient.
"If a baby is cured after just 18 months of treatment, it might be a medical breakthrough. But it doesn't necessarily help boost profit margins," adds Somaiya.
Somaiya also points out that HIV drug companies have had a tough time capitalizing on other breakthroughs recently.
Last July, the FDA approved a once a day pill, Truvada, that could prevent a healthy person from contracting HIV. Truvada developer Gilead Sciences (GILD) received a lot of buzz at first. Investors felt that people who are at high risk of infection might want to buy the drug. But Truvada's huge price (approximately $13,000 a year) and distressing potential side effects (neck swelling, kidney problems, trouble speaking) led few healthy people to jump on the bandwagon.
So when it comes to terminal illnesses like HIV, drug companies have a greater chance of gaining market share by developing ways to improve care rather than focusing on cures.
"Gilead Sciences seized a sizable chunk of market share after it developed the world's first combination HIV pill [Atripla- made up of three different drugs] that patients could take just once a day," adds Somaiya. "Before that, HIV patients were taking 15 pills a day to manage viral load. When Gilead Sciences introduced their combo pill, sales responded accordingly."

Remember use.perl? It's moth-balled now, but for years it provided two valuable services to the Perl community.
Firstly it provided a hosted blog platform which many people used to write about many things – sometimes even Perl. Of course we now have blogs.perl.org which provides a very similar service.
And secondly, it provided a place where people could submit stories related to Perl and then editors would approve the stories and publish them on the front page. Since use.perl closed down, the Perl community hasn't really had a centralised site for that.
Over the last eighteen months or so I've had conversations with people about building a site that replaced that part of use.perl. But there's always been something more interesting to work on.
Then, at the start of this week, Leo asked if I knew of a good Perl news feed that he could use on the front page of perl.org. And I realised that I'd been putting it off so too long. A few hours of WordPress configuration and Perl News was ready to go.
So if you have any interesting Perl news to share, please submit it to the site.

Well, another tank I hate that I mastered. The SU-100, the red-headed stepchild of the SU line. Thanks to all of you who gave advice, or at least made me feel better about my suckitude in it. I kept playing it tonight, over and over and over again. I was almost always the XP leader on the team, but I kept losing! Finally, in a battle that I thought was hopeless, where all but one of my teammates had managed to die, most without doing too much damage, I finally was able to destroy the last red, using the corpse of one of his dead comrades as cover.
And, as is my habit, I immediately sold this bucket o' bolts. Good riddance!

Wow, I actually took the Lowe and it's 666 WN8 out for a Ratings match the other day and did a
nice job on a map I don't do well in, Vineyards. I checked BlitzStars and It's been exactly a
year and a day since I've used the big guy.
Not a great game or anything but for me, it was something nice to see. Only top level of
equipment used. Maybe I should invest some Spare Parts in this baby and try to get to
enjoy this tank.
I guess I got the sociable player vote for calling the ruins side at start
Here's an old screenshot what I've done in the past with the Lowe, too few battles like this in
it's history
Probably my best battle in the Lowe :-/

Heavy Is The Cat That's Carried!
Just posted this to the Blitzstart HOF - took #8! First HOF-worthy game. I had no idea it was going to be such a game. I got hit from a SU100Y early in the game, for half my HP, then danced around a KV2 for a bit, and looked up and only had one green left. He YOLO'd into a Tiger P and the 100Y while I whittled away at the Church. Once he died, I ran around to the south end to reset and try to cap their base to stop the timer. Just as I came up to B, the Y was capping A with the Tiger, but the Y was just tall enough for me to finish it off. The Church trundled back under the trestle, and I was able to finish him off. He pulled one shot on me, leaving me under 200 pts. Then the Tiger came over the rise from A. I got a shot as he missed, leaving him a one-shot. We both sat on either side of the trestle, as the Red counter was nearing 1000, he peaked out, and we both shot. He died, I had 16 pts left. All he had to do was stay away from me and it's a very different game for me.
Sloppy battle at Lost Temple in my Ace Qwest for my VK 30.01 H.
Prior to this battle, 2 low tier losses and only 2 wins out of 4 last
night with it.
At 2:40 of the battle, as I exited out of sniper scope vision I couldn't believe the angle I was in
Wasn't even paying attention, just tunneled on the T-34 ahead of me
I suk.
Equipment used, usual top 3 plus the GLD and the Enhanced Engine.
Will I add any more? Will I even play it again?
Who knows.
Solo, I hide in low tiers cause.........

VK 30.01H must not be played much by good players for me to Ace it with
this purrrrrrformance. This production would not get you an Ace with the
lower tier DW2, that's for sure.

Shoes.com Insider on Naturalizer ShoesNaturalizer has always been a natural choice for women who love fresh trends but refuse to sacrifice comfort. From dress shoes and heels to boots and sandals, you'll fall for their affordable fashion.
When this ever-evolving classic brand debuted in 1927, it was an instant hit. But it wasn't just because Naturalizer was a new line from the well-established Brown Shoe Company, which formed in 1875 and now owns a portfolio of other popular labels. Women's dresses and skirts started getting shorter after the successful suffrage movement, which finally gave female footwear its day in the sun. Naturalizer introduced eye-catching shoes that were surprisingly comfortable - finding the best of both worlds was, and still is, a liberating feeling. As women's taste shifted over the decades, Naturalizer shoes stayed in step, proving to be as flexible and stable as their fun, feminine shoes.
Continuing their tradition of fashion-forward manufacturing with a flawless fit, Naturalizer is still a versatile best-selling name. If you find yourself tempted to fill your entire closet with their pairs, don't panic - you're not alone. With everything from Naturalizer sandals, casual slip-on shoes and flats to chic heels and pumps, you really can grab something stylish yet comfy for every occasion. So whether you're in the mood for leather wedges or lightweight boots, Naturalizer will get you going with confidence.

Poll: Is Stuffed Crust Ever Legit?
Pizza vox populi.
Stuffed crust pizza gets a bad rap, but divided into its parts—bread and cheese—why, it's easy to get on board with that. And we all love pizza, so why would we hate on cheese-stuffed bread attached to our slice? Is it because chains do most of the peddling; that we feel fatter just reading the words "stuffed-crust"; or, that the prospect of eating the crust first is so reprehensible that any pizza promoting that tendency must be shunned?
Pizza Hut has had stuffed crust on its menu since the mid 90s, so there are clearly some fans out there. But just because chains dominate the stuffed crust scene doesn't mean we must equate stuffed crust with inferior pizza. We've seen some fancy pants ricotta stuffed pizza here on Slice. And, in his Home Slice column, Adam has even worked out the basics for making it at home, and it looks pretty damn good! So, what do you think? Is stuffed crust ever legit?

2012 was a big year for laptops. Windows 8 came along with its touch-centric worldview, Intel kept plugging away on its ultrabook crusade, and Apple finally started pumping out Retina MacBooks. Here's our list of the most important machines of the year.
10. Acer Aspire S7 11-inch
This is a statement of intent from Acer, and really all Windows laptops. Along with Samsung's Series 9, this is the most impressively designed and built laptop we've seen. Apple included. It's just wonderful, with a gorgeous, bright capacitive touch 1080p display crammed onto its 11-inch body. Acer has a few kinks to work out, like that undersized trackpad, before this really takes off, but it was the arrival of a new big time player in laptops, and a reaffirmation that Windows can be beautiful.
9. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13
Lenovo was the first Windows 8 hybrid out the gate at CES this year, and its 13-inch Yoga managed to stay ahead of the field and come in as the best touchscreen convertible we saw this year. That makes it the unofficial face of Windows 8 laptops, even if Surface RT is the hardware face of Windows 8 itself. [More]
8. Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A
Asus's Zenbooks have been some of the most popular ultrabooks out, but this year's UX31A was notable for its gorgeous 1080p screen, which outshines anything short of a Retina display from Apple. The Zenbooks still have keyboard and trackpad issues to deal with, but pushing great displays on nice laptops at affordable prices is pretty important.
7. Samsung Series 9
Samsung's Series 9 was already really good last year—it was our favorite ultrabook at the time—but its total redesign this year cemented it as the most gorgeous laptop you can own. Period. We didn't love what that did to the keyboard, but wrestling "best looking laptop" away from Apple is a big deal, especially when it does't look like Cupertino's going to take it back any time soon.
6. Dell XPS 12
Early this year, ultrabooks were still getting off the groups, taking their first awkward, unsure steps toward being good and viable. Dell's XPS 12 was one of the first to really get almost everything right while also embracing a lot of Intel's features, which early ultrabooks avoided. It came in between the first and second waves of ultrabooks, and set a template for build quality and usability.
5. Vizio Thin + Light
The Vizio Thin + Light looked like it had a chance to be something special when we saw it at CES, and it didn't quite live up to that. But it's still the first laptop out of bootstraps-up TV-maker Vizio, and it showed enough promise that we're excited to see if it can improve on things next year.
4. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is ostensibly a business machine, but it sure don't look like one. It's sleek—even sleeker than the original X1—and performs as well as any ultrabook in its class. But the importance comes from the convergence of enterprise ruggedness and consumer-grade design. We want splash-proof, drop-proof, life-proof gadgets, and the X1 Carbon was a big step toward that happening. [More]

3. Acer Chromebook
Chromebooks aren't for everyone, but they're excellent little internet machines, and just about all a lot of people need out of a computer. And a $200 price tag is a big deal for a machine that actually works (and won't make everyone who touches it want jump off of a building).
2. Razer Blade
The new Razer Blade looks basically identical to the first Blade, which was released this spring. But the new model has all new guts—including a bump up to a GeForce GTX 660M—that are finally good enough to make Razer's attempted defragmentation of the PC gaming market a possibility. The price still has to come down, but Razer's doing important stuff.
1. 15-inchMacBook Pro with Retina
The Retina MacBook Pro was probably inevitable, but that doesn't stop it from being important. It was the first ultra-high resolution laptop display, and unlike the extravagantly expensive 13-inch version, it actually performed up to its price tag.

Jon Bon Jovi's daughter Stephanie Rose Bongiovi was arrested on Wednesday morning after overdosing on heroin, a Kirkland, N.Y., police spokesman confirmed to TVGuide.com.
Police arrived at a Hamilton College dorm after the local volunteer ambulance reported that a female had allegedly overdosed on heroin and was unresponsive. A small quantity of the drug was found at the scene. Upon further investigation and a warrant, police searched the dorm and found heroin, marijuana and other drug paraphernalia. Bongoivi, 19, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of marijuana, criminally using drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of marijuana.
Bongiovi was released and will appear in court at a later date.

This one is creepy: The new Shapeways' Photoshaper is the latest "printing" technology, turning any home photographs into a 3D plate which—when looked through light—will reveal the original image with a spooky ghost effect.
Photoshaper can be used by anyone with a digital camera and an Internet connection. Basically, the service will take any digital photograph you can send them using their web site, creating a 3D image out of it.
First, to create the 3D information, Photoshaper analyzes the photograph, converting it to black and white. It then uses the resulting picture as a guide to create the 3D layers: Darker tones correspond to thicker parts of the plate, while lighter tones correspond to thinner parts.
The plate is made then using a 3D printer, which lays down multiple layers of resin like an inkjet printer. The resin layers solidify instantly, allowing for more to be printed on top, constructing the 3D out of multiple paper-thin surfaces.
The result is a slab of white resin with a weird, rough surface. When you look at it straight on, it resembles a negative of the original image, but much less defined than a real negative. However, when you look at it through the light, the image appears magically in front of you, with a spooky effect.
At least it is spooky for me. I don't know about you, but this freaks me out. [Sh rugged apeways]

Vandals Strike Mankato Church Second Time
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) - Vandals have struck a Mankato church for a second time.
Someone threw a brick, pieces of concrete block and a rock through two stained-glass windows and two other windows at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church early Friday.
Parish administrator Mark Frederick says the stained-glass windows were installed more than a century ago.
A Mankato police report says the thrown brick also damaged an elevator door inside the church.
The report says the estimated cost to replace the two regular windows is about $500 and the estimated cost to fix the elevator door is $1,000.
Frederick says it will be awhile before church officials know how much it will cost to repair or replace the stained-glass windows.
Windows also were broken at the church in August.

Your spine is made of many bones called vertebrae. Your spinal cord runs downward through a canal in the center of these bones. Nerve roots branch off the cord and go between the individual vertebrae. When problems affect these nerve roots, the condition is called radiculopathy.
One cause of radiculopathy is a herniated disk. Soft disks act as cushions between your vertebrae. On occasion, these disks slip out of place or become damaged and press on nerves. This is sometimes called a pinched nerve or a slipped disk. This problem is most likely to occur in your lower back, but it can also affect your neck.
Facts about radiculopathies
As people age, it's common to have changes in the disks and vertebrae that could affect the nerves. But many people ages 50 and older have damaged disks and pinched nerves but don't have symptoms.
Types of radiculopathies
Pressure on a nerve root in your lower back is called lumbar radiculopathy. When it occurs in your neck, it's called cervical radiculopathy.
Symptoms of lumbar radiculopathy include:
A sharp pain in the back that may travel all the way to your foot—pain may become worse with certain activities like sitting or coughing
Numbness of the skin in areas of the leg or foot
Weakness in the leg
Symptoms of cervical radiculopathy include:
A sharp pain in the arm
Pain in the shoulder
A feeling of numbness or pins and needles in the arm
Weakness of the arm
Worsening pain when you move your neck or turn your head
Possible tests to diagnose this problem are:
Imaging tests, such as an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI scan, enable your doctor to better see the structures in your neck or back and may include injecting a contrast material (a dye) into your spinal canal to help show the problem area.
The doctor may ask you to lie on your back and lift your leg while holding it straight or perform other movements. If you have pain with certain movements it may help with the diagnosis.
Your doctor may do tests that check how well your nerves and muscles are working.
In many cases, these simple steps may treat your symptoms:
Medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioid medicines for more severe pain, and muscle relaxants
Losing weight, if needed, with diet and exercise
Physical therapy
For cervical radiculopathy, wearing a soft collar around your neck for short amounts of time
Some people need more advanced treatments. Your doctor might suggest injections of steroid medication in the area where the disk is herniated. Some people might benefit from surgery. During a surgical procedure called a discectomy, the surgeon removes all or part of the disk that is pressing on a nerve root. Along with this procedure, the surgeon may need to remove parts of some vertebrae or fuse vertebrae together.
Staying physically fit may reduce your risk of radiculopathy. Using good posture at work and in your leisure time, such as lifting heavy objects properly, may also help prevent this condition. If you sit at work for long periods, consider getting up and walking around regularly.
Managing radiculopathy
Your doctor may be able to suggest steps most helpful in preventing or treating radiculopathy on your own, given your individual needs.

Of Women and Wedgies
I'm 27 years old and I've never heard such a fallacy as I heard today on your show. I'm a girl; and my sisters, my girlfriends, and I have been giving and receiving wedgies for as long as I can remember. In fact, your show prompted my roommate to prove you wrong, and I am now suffering from a wedgie as we speak. Thanks a lot Click and Clack!
Los Angeles, CA
Who says women don't give wedgies? WE CERTAINLY DO!!! The reason we don't GET so many is because A) Feminine undies, being of more delicate fabric, tend to rip before the wedgie can be completed, B) we don't usually wear undies that are visible above the waistband of our jeans, and 3) those that ARE visible are generally the kind that are already tucked in there on purpose.
You also forgot to mention the Flying Wedgie. In this form, the Wedgie-ee is lifted off the ground during the wedgie. The greater the height, the more talented the Wedgie-er. In a slightly more humane version, the Wedgie-er can hold the neck of the Wedgie-ee's shirt with one hand while administering said wedgie with the other. Then there's the Atomic Flying Wedgie, too awful to contemplate...

Spain and Cyprus were both targets of downgrades from Moody's on Wednesday, in the wake of a Fitch downgrade for the former and Moody's bank downgrades for the latter. Bond yields topped 7% for Spain, and in Italy's first bond sale since Spain's bailout yields surged.
In Greece, Alexis Tsipras, the Syriza party leader, hopes to ditch austerity measures without driving his homeland from the euro, betting that the cost to other member nations will be too high to force an exit.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that Moody's cut Spain's rating late Wednesday to one notch above junk—a three-step drop—and also cut Cyprus from Ba1 to Ba3 after cutting the ratings of three of the country's banks on Tuesday, over concerns that a Greek exit from the euro zone would leave it in an increasingly precarious position.
Cyprus could be in need of its own bailout before Greek elections are held Sunday, according to an Associated Press report. Finance Minister Vassos Shiarly suggested in the report that the country might have to seek a bailout before Greek elections are held on Sunday, although he was optimistic for favorable terms rather than harsh austerity measures. Cyprus carries a low fiscal deficit and public debt comapred with other members of the eurozone.
The action by Moody's boosted the yield on Spain's bonds above the level seen as sustainable; on 10-year bonds it rose 25 basis points to hit 7.2% on Thursday, a euro-era high, and two-year yields increased a similar amount.
In a Reuters report, Padhraic Garvey, head of investment grade strategy for ING, was quoted saying, "Spain is teetering on the edge of investment grade status and the risk in the near term is that investors begin to trade the risk they are cut to speculative grade. And if they do get cut further then you'll get another wave of selling."
It remains to be seen how much intervention will come from the other members of the eurozone, when just Wednesday Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy attacked central banks for failing to buy peripheral zone debt. The bailout agreed on for Spain over the weekend is aimed just at its financial sector and does not carry any additional harsh conditions, unlike the Greek bailout. Should matters worsen, Spain could be in the market for a full-scale bailout.
"If there's no reaction from Europe, it's a likely path [that yields will continue to rise]," Peter Schaffrik, head of European rates strategy at RBC Capital Markets, said in the report. "One of the only things we see that can change the situation on a lasting basis is some form of debt mutualization, which the Germans are reluctant to do." Spain is scheduled to sell bonds in the market next Thursday, though details have not yet been announced.
Italy, meanwhile, sold bonds on Thursday and managed to find buyers for 4.5 billion euros' worth ($5.653 billion) of debt. While demand was good, yield was up to its highest level since December. In a Bloomberg report, Markus Huber, head of German sales trading at ETX Capital in London, was quoted saying, "Today's auctions most likely won't manage to restore much calm in the markets, instead it rather reflects quite well how risk averse investors have become and how uncertainty within the eurozone and the European financial crisis itself continue to dominate the headlines and market action."
Gary Jenkins, director of Swordfish Research, was not optimistic about either country's chances of emerging unscathed from the financial crisis, saying in the report, "We are fast approaching the point where both Spain and Italy may have to be removed from the market."
In the last days before the second round of elections in Greece, Tsipras is counting on estimates of the high cost of a Greek exit from the joint currency to help him win not just the election but an end to the austerity measures that are conditions of Greece's second bailout. He expects to do this without driving his country from the euro, and without Greece being forced to exit by other member countries or being cut off from funding.
Fitch Ratings said Thursday that if Greece did depart the euro, it would have a "severe" indirect impact on banks all around the eurozone and would need a "robust" policy response to ward off contagion. Italy would no doubt be next, according to Tsipras, who was quoted saying, "When you give a sign that a country can be led to hell, then they will rush to attack the next weak link, which is Italy."
In fact, he is counting on such a response, betting that the cost of booting Greece from the joint currency would be so high for remaining members that they would instead choose to renegotiate the terms of Greece's bailout. He said in the report, after being asked whether he had been in touch with any EU officials on the matter, that his position "is based on the analyses of the most credible European and international economists, cost-and-benefit analyses of one or the other scenario. Our conviction isn't based on public relations or on some confirmations from politicians." On Wednesday Tsipras was quoted saying, "We have no sense that European partners will follow this tactic of blackmail heard from some quarters and stop funding. Something like that would be catastrophic not only for Greece but for the entire euro area."
The question is whether Tsipras is correctly reading the political climate of the eurozone. While there have been indications from some eurozone leaders that they are willing to consider concessions, others are not so forgiving. Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker of Luxembourg is among those who have indicated that they would be amenable to relaxing some of the requirements for Greece to continue to receive financial assistance.
However, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble of Germany is firmly in the other camp. In a Stern magazine interview published on Wednesday, he said, "Crises are seldom fair. If the country wants to become competitive again, the minimum wage has to sink."
Wolfango Piccoli, an analyst at Eurasia Group in London, believes Tsipras is betting on the wrong horse. In the report, Piccoli said, "Tsipras is misreading Greece's European partners, especially the Nordic countries, as there is no willingness to give in to blackmail."
But Tsipras is firm, and his very firmness may be contributing to his party's popularity in the troubled country. "We have empty funds, public funds, bankrupt pension funds and a banking system hanging from a thread," he said in the report. "The most important thing right now is to restore a climate of confidence."
To do that, Syriza's platform includes not just abrogation of bailout austerity measures and a renegotiation of the bailout's terms, but also measures to promote economic and social development and taxes on the wealthy. In addition, Tsipras says the party will work to nationalize "and socialize" banks.
"It would be an incomprehensible, historical mistake today if European leaders could believe that a Europe without Greece could continue," he was quoted saying. "An EU without Greece would be a politically, economically and culturally crippled Union."

Journalist Live-Tweets His Own Arrest
Kevin O'Flynn, a journalist working for The Guardian in Moscow, live tweeted his own arrest on Monday while covering the ongoing protests sparked by the inauguration of Vladimir Putin as president of Russia.
O'Flynn arrived at the gates of Moscow's Presidential Administration Building at approximately 7:00 p.m. local time Monday evening. He found an increased police presence, despite few protesters on the scene.
Few people. Gate still open topresidential administration. A sprinkling of police vans.campl.us/jkqK
— Kevin O'Flynn(@oflynnkevin) May 7, 2012
About a half an hour later, O'Flynn checked and cleared his press credentials with the authorities. A minute after that, he was arrested — and he got to tweeting immediately.
Ooh arrested, one minute after documents checked and said ok.
— Kevin O'Flynn(@oflynnkevin) May 7, 2012
Some of his followers quickly took notice, asking him questions or sending words of goodwill.
@oflynnkevin Удачи.Hope everything turns out ok.
— Janine Balekdjian (@Galadriel391) May 7, 2012
@oflynnkevin what have you been arrested for?
— km (@agitpro) May 7, 2012
O'Flynn wasn't immediately able to answer, but he was able to fire off a cameraphone photo from inside a Russian police van.
Inside the police van. Next prisoner enters says 'Hello political prisoners' campl.us/jktC
— Kevin O'Flynn(@oflynnkevin) May 7, 2012
However, O'Flynn was released from custody seven minutes later.
I'm out. Shortest detention in history. They even apologized.
— Kevin O'Flynn(@oflynnkevin) May 7, 2012
Later, he gave more details about his arrest, which was carried out by police in riot gear.
Was lifted up and taken by two very short riot police officers. Shouted "I love you" a number of times but they oddly ignored me.

Putin was elected to the Russian presidency in March after previously serving two four-year terms as president, then four as prime minister beside the now-former President Dimitri Medvedev. Many observers believed Putin to be using the prime minister role as a means to secure re-election as president this year. He was barred by Russian law from seeking three consecutive terms.
Hundreds of Russian citizens have been arrested during anti-Putin protests in Moscow, some of which featured violent encounters between Putin's opposition and police.

The Time-Tested Dos and Don'ts of Using Classroom Technology
The choices are endless. Should I set up a class blog or a Twitter account? Should I use Edmodo? Test out cell phone use in the classroom? How about Google Docs? Prezi?
Throughout my nine years in the classroom, I've been eager to test out possibilities for improving teaching and learning through technology use. It's a messy process. Back in February 2010, I broadcast my eagerness to use cell phones in the classroom in Education Week. Then I changed my stance, arguing in May 2012 that too much social media and gimmicky technology application in the classroom could lead teachers to neglect teaching students substantial skills.
Since then, I've tested out Edmodo and continued to explore. After years of experimentation and reflection, here's my current take on smart—and not-so-smart—ways to use technology in the classroom:
Do: Teach students basic photo-composition rules and simple editing. With these skills, students can capture and set up their own images to create authentic digital stories and presentations using Animoto, iMovie, Photostory, and other programs. Check out this student example, in which Will interviewed a classmate to create an audio slideshow profile of his involvement in our school's Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC).
Don't: Rely heavily on Google image search or other copy-and-paste solutions for presentations. Yes, searching for appropriate images takes a little bit of effort. But it's too easy, and doesn't promote creative problem solving.
Do: Use Google Drive. I model the usefulness of a cloud-based service, showing the students how I update my lesson plans daily on Google Drive. I ask them how often they have misplaced a flash drive. Most hands shoot up. Before long, many students begin using Google Drive for other classes and assignments.
Don't: Allow students to give the excuse that they accidentally left their flash drives at home, resulting in the inability to work on a writing piece or presentation. With cloud-based services, students simply don't need a flash drive to work on a variety of computer-based assignments. Few students lack internet access at home or on their phones, and we must teach students to take advantage of this more efficient approach.
Do: Use old-fashioned note cards for exit cards, four-corner discussion, and other "old-fashioned" methods to gather real-time data about student understanding.
Don't: Let yourself get suckered into online polling programs or other digital tools to simply check for understanding or complete other formative assessments. I've found this to be inefficient. Sometimes paper or verbal communication should trump the allure of using technology.
Do: Promote fluency, discussion, and presentation skills by having students use their cell phones or flip video cameras to record conversations, narratives, speeches, and other class assignments. For example, when my students are editing and revising, I ask them to record themselves with voice memo tools on cell phones, reading their writing aloud.
Don't: Rely so heavily on technology tools that speaking and listening skills go by the wayside. It's too easy to engage students with a screen. Most teachers and parents of teenagers know how quickly they default to texting, chatting, and other communication that is filtered through a screen. Don't over-use fragmented, text-based digital communication when you can use the same tools to enhance and critique more "traditional" skills relating to extended writing pieces, interviewing, and speaking.
Do: Encourage students to make phone calls when researching information or contacting sources outside the classroom. Having real-time conversations requires non-filtered verbal communication skills, an area in which many students struggle. (This tip is for teachers, too, considering how inefficient emails can be in day-to-day school operations.)
Don't: Teach students to rely on texting and email when gathering information. Too often, the lag time hinders efficient planning, useful conversation, and data collection.
Do: Use Jing or other screen-capture video software to model complicated instructions. This software records all key strokes and audio—if you choose to speak—when you are modeling a task or directions on a computer. For example, when I begin teaching students how to edit audio using Garageband, I'll use Jing to record myself narrating instructions as I move files and make commands, then I'll post the video file to the class Edmodo page for future reference.
Don't: Expect students to remember multi-step instructions with new software, apps, or programs. Anything beyond the one-step status update requires a model for students to refer back to, which is why Jing comes in handy, saving you constant nagging by students about how to do something.
As technology continues to evolve, there is no doubt I'll revise this list, utilizing, reflecting, and revising my practice. There's so much out there—too many ideas to try—but these guidelines are serving me well. What am I missing? Any other "dos" and "don'ts" that you've found effective in your classroom?

Industrial accidents can cause significant damage to communities and the environment, both locally and across borders. The first line of defence against industrial accidents is to prevent them from occurring at all. The Convention therefore requires Parties to place prevention at the heart of their efforts to minimize the effects of industrial accidents. Article 6 of the Convention obliges Parties to take preventive measures, further specified in Annex IV, including measures to be carried out by Parties, competent authorities, operators, or by joint efforts.
A key step in preventing an industrial accident is to identify all hazardous activities within the jurisdiction of a Party. The Convention's annex I (amended in 2014) provides criteria for the identification of hazardous activities. Once a hazardous activity has been identified, according to articles 4 and 9 of the Convention, information on hazardous activities should be made available to the public and other countries that could be affected, because their cooperation will be required to reduce the transboundary impact of an industrial accident should one occur. In response to requests expressed by some Parties and committed countries, a template for the notification of hazardous activities has been developed and recommend for use by Parties and other countries when notifying potentially affected Parties of hazardous activities.
As part of Parties' obligations with regard to prevention, article 6 also requires that the operators of any hazardous activity provide an analysis and evaluation of the activity. Matters which should be considered in the analysis and evaluation are detailed in annex V.
The analysis of hazardous activities is especially important when new developments are being planned. Before any new industrial facility is constructed, proper land use planning should be conducted to determine the most suitable site. The choice of location of the new facility should aim to reduce any risks associated with the hazardous activity and should also take into account the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention).
Prior to any industrial facility being built, meaningful and effective public participation should also take place. Annex VI of the Convention states that the results of public consultation and participation processes should be considered pursuant to Article 7, concerning decision-making on the location of hazardous activities. The Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice (Aarhus Convention) also offers guidance in this regard.
To assist Parties in meeting their obligations with regard to the prevention of industrial accidents, several guidelines have been produced under the auspices of the Convention. These include Guidelines for Location Criteria, Safety Guidelines for Tailing Management Facilities, Safety Guidelines for Pipelines, and a Checklist System for Safety Reports.
In addition, the Convention secretariat organizes regular trainings on the prevention of industrial accidents as part of its Assistance and Cooperation Programme. The Assistance and Cooperation Programme aims to utilize the expertise of other countries to ensure best practice in preventing, preparing for and responding to an industrial accident and to ensure that countries are able to fully implement the Convention while increasingly each other in this endeavour.

Dearest Gym,
Tonight you and I shall be reunited. I know, it's been some time since I've stepped foot into your dimly lit and overly mirrored areas, but I'm pretty excited to let these pythons out of their cage. Snake alert.
Hopefully while I'm there I'll be getting my swoll on and getting jacked up on protein shakes with some meatballs. Not to be cliche but I wanna be like Fergie, find me at the gym workin' on my fitness. Time to get back up on that spin bike to find myself dripping sweat all over after the short time period of 15 minutes.
I can only hope the usuals are there. The one guy who wears the muscle T that was a homemade craft project gone awry when he tried to cut it into a v-neck. The three high school boys who probably together weigh the grand total of 150 pounds and repeatedly bench press the bar and remind me of Justin Bieber. The guy in the pool who likes to share a lane with me and then creeps closer and closer while we are swimming so I end up punching him in the head with my graceful strokes and feel terrible.
I can't wait to be so out of breath and so thirsty to only taste your warmish water on my lips. I can't wait to see the little cheerleader pumping away on the elliptical, chewing gum, talking on her cell phone and reading the latest US. The one guy on the treadmill that will be on when I get there and still there when I leave, not even looking like he's emitting any effort. The cute grandpa who takes the little 8 pound weights and does some arm curls as his glasses fog up.
We shall be reunited and I can't wait until I feel the baby muscles in my t-rex arms shaking since they haven't done much but raise the fork to my mouth lately.
Time to let the She Wolf out of the closet. And you know what comes after a She Wolf? Bathing Suits. UGH!

Maryland HARP Lender: 855-674-8525
With the new HARP 2.0 updates to the Home Affordable Refinance Program, the process of refinancing your Maryland home loan through HARP follows the same steps as a traditional conventional mortgage refi.
The major difference is that many of the previous barriers, such as transferring mortgage insurance or ordering an appraisal have either been streamlined or waived.
In addition to clearing much of the red tape, the new HARP Refinance process allows borrowers to switch mortgage companies and shop for better interest rates with less fees.
The following steps outline the entire process for closing a new HARP Refinance. Simply click on the link for a detailed explanation of each step.
Step 1) Check To See If Your Loan Is With Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
The first step in determining that your Baltimore mortgage is eligible for a HARP Refi is to check with both Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
If you are fairly sure that your loan is with either Fannie or Freddie, and cannot find your loan on either loan lookup tool, please feel free to call us directly at for assistance.
You may also want to double check the accuracy of the address or name you entered. In some instances, a "St." vs "Street" could produce the wrong result.
Step 2) Submit Pre-Application And Start The Refinance Process
An application is a relatively simple form that includes your name, phone, date of birth, social security number, address, current payments and any any initial asset information you feel comfortable sharing up front.
*Depending on whether your loan is with Fannie or Freddie, the Loan-to-Value, your credit scores and income, we may need to get a more detailed list of assets or other liabilities.
You have the option of filling out a quick pre-qual form online on our HARP Quick-Apply Form, or simply call our office at 855-674-8525 to speak with a qualified HARP specialist who can take down the basic information over the phone.
Step 3) Run Credit And Initial Loan Approval
Once we have received a full application and authorization to pull credit, we will upload your secure application to the appropriate lender submission portal online in order to get the initial findings and approval from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
This report will tell us whether or not we need to clarify anything within your application or credit report, as well as give us a list of the documentation we need to submit to the bank with the complete loan package.
These findings will also produce an estimated value, which will determine if an appraisal will be required as well.
Since the appraisal requirements are changing on a weekly basis as this program evolves, we ask for your patience and understanding if we end up having to order an appraisal half-way through the refinance process.
However, on the hand, we may be able to obtain an appraisal waiver half-way through the refinance process as well if the lender guidelines change in our favor.
Either way, we will keep the lines of communication open with you at all times so that you do not have any surprises.
Step 4) Sign Disclosures And Collect Borrower Documentation
The initial refinance application is called a 1003, (ten o three), and it consists of several pages that include a Good Faith Estimate, Truth In Lending disclosure and a few other papers that describe your rights as a borrower.
All applicants will need to sign and date this 1003, which can be done in our office or via fax / mail at your convenience.
The documentation that we may need from the borrower, depending on initial approval findings:
a) Current Payment Coupon For First & Second Mortgage
b) Hazard Insurance Dec Page, Or Phone Number Of Property Insurance Agent
c) Two Month's Pay Stubs
d) Two Year's W2's and/or Tax Returns
e) Two Month's Complete Bank Statements
f) Social Security / Pension Reward Letters
g) Documentation Of Child Support
h) Letters Of Explanation For Special Circumstances
Step 5) Submit Complete Borrower Refinance Package To Underwriting
You will just has to worry about signing the disclosures, 1003 and providing updated income/asset documentation.
Behind the scenes, we will be ordering payoffs, a preliminary title report and a few other important pieces to the puzzle.
In the case where you have a second mortgage that needs to be subordinated, we may need your participation in this process. It really depends on who the second lien holder is and what they require as far as up-front subordination fees or signatures.
You may be required to submit a processing fee to the second lien holder to obtain the subordination. The fee for this can be several hundred dollars.
*An important side-note with the subordination – If you have a second HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit) that is not maxed, your bank may put a temporary or permanent freeze on your available line of credit until the HARP Refinance is complete.
Again, keeping open lines of communication will help all of us avoid any unnecessary speed bumps or surprises along the way.
Step 6) Sit On Pins And Needles For Several Weeks
There has been a flood of new HARP Refinance applications submitted to participating HARP lenders, which means that processing and underwriting turn-times have gone from 24 hours to 3-4 weeks in some cases.
While the banks work with Fannie and Freddie to improve the process, we have to be prepared for longer waiting periods.
The good news is that the initial findings in "Step 3" above will give us an actual approval to be confident in. So, as long as the documentation provided by the borrower and collected by the lender match those initial Fannie Mae of Freddie Mac findings, it's really just a simple matter of going through the systems.
Bottom line, with the millions of underwater homeowners that this program is anticipated to help, banks or loan officers should not be desperate to tell everyone that they are approved. Since these refinances to take a considerable amount of time and energy to process and fund, I would hope that participating HARP lenders would have the professional courtesy to give borrowers honest feedback and opinions about their potential approval.
However, if you feel at any time that your current lender / loan officer is not giving you accurate information about the status of your refinance application, please feel free to call us directly at 855-674-8525 to discuss your scenario.
The Obama Administration, our mortgage industry and the Baltimore real estate market is counting on this HARP Refinance Program to be successful. So if there are under qualified or dishonest mortgage operations giving this program a bad reputation, several state and federal officials would be highly motivated to weed them out of the industry.
Step 7) Bank Approval And Doc Conditions
Things start to move quickly again at this point in the HARP refinance process.
The lender will issue a final approval with a small list of conditions that need to be satisfied prior to ordering loan documents.
Updated pay stubs, any additional letters of explanations, corrections to the title policy… and the list can go on.
However, if "Step 5" above was done properly, this final "Lock and Doc" step should be quick and painless.
Locking in an interest rate is generally done at this time as well since many lenders will require full bank approval before they'll tie up funds in a lock.
A rule-of-thumb with locking mortgage rates is that the shorter the lock period (15 -30 days), the lower the rate. Additionally, rate lock extensions tend to get quite expensive.
Either way, experienced lenders understand how rates move and what the market is doing that may have a positive or negative impact on rates at any given moment. So, as long as your loan officer has demonstrated that they know a thing or two about mortgage rates, you should feel confident that they are looking out for your best intest.
Another point to consider about interest rate locks for your peace-of-mind is that loan officer compensation cannot be tied to higher or lower rates. By law, loan originators have to charge the same rate to everyone, regardless if they are doing a loan for their family or a past client. So essentially, the government has leveled the playing field for rate shopping forcing mortgage professionals to compete based on providing excellent service, value and communication.
Step 8) Sign Docs And Record New Loan
Final documents are ordered and signed by the borrower at a number of places that may include a title or escrow company, with a mobile notary or at an attorney's office.
Your lender will schedule this final process at your convenience while carefully paying attention to the dates on the final docs to make sure they fund in the proper month to avoid any additional charges to the borrower.
After a 3 day right of recision, your new loan will fund and record. (*NOTE. If the loan being refinanced is for a second home or investment property, there will be no waiting period.)

An in-the-closet lesbian mother is suing Netflix for privacy invasion, alleging the movie rental company made it possible for her to be outed when it disclosed insufficiently anonymous information about nearly half-a-million customers as part of its $1 million contest to improve its recommendation system.
The suit known as Doe v. Netflix (.pdf) was filed in federal court in California on Thursday, alleging that Netflix violated fair-trade laws and a federal privacy law protecting video rental records, when it launched its popular contest in September 2006.
The suit seeks more than $2,500 in damages for each of more than 2 million Netflix customers.
In order to get a better movie recommendation algorithm, the online DVD rental company gave more than 50,000 Netflix Prize contestants two massive datasets. The first included 100 million movie ratings, along with the date of the rating, a unique ID number for the subscriber, and the movie info. Based on this data from 480,000 customers, contestants had to come up with a recommendation algorithm that could predict 10 percent better than Netflix how those same subscribers rated other movies.
But video records count among the most privacy protected records in the U.S. – a reaction to a reporter getting Supreme Court–nominee Robert Bork's records from a video store. The lead attorney on the new suit, Joseph Malley, recently reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Facebook over its failed Beacon program, which drew fire in part for sharing users' Blockbuster rentals with their friends.
Thursday's suit argues that the information is personal data protected by Netflix's privacy policy, and that NetFlix should have known that people would be able to identify users based on that data alone. In fact, just two months before NetFlix launched the contest, AOL released "anonymized" search-engine logs, which reporters quickly used to track down real people.
So it wasn't surprising that just weeks after the contest began, two University of Texas researchers – Arvind Narayanan and Vitaly Shmatikov – identified several NetFlix users by comparing their "anonymous" reviews in the Netflix data to ones posted on the Internet Movie Database website. Revelations included identifying their political leanings and sexual orientation.
The complaint calls that the Brokeback Mountain factor, arguing that marketers will suck up the data, combine it with other data sets and start pigeon-holing people into marketing categories, based on assumptions about the movies they rated.
[M]ovie and rating data contains information of a more highly personal and sensitive nature. The member's movie data exposes a Netflix member's personal interest and/or struggles with various highly personal issues, including sexuality, mental illness, recovery from alcoholism, and victimization from incest, physical abuse, domestic violence, adultery, and rape.
The Plaintiffs' and class members' movie data and ratings, which were released without authorization or consent, have now become a permanent, public record on the Internet, free to be manipulated and exposed at the whim of those who have the Database.
That's why the lesbian mom joined the lawsuit as a Jane Doe, according to the complaint, since she believes that "were her sexual orientation public knowledge, it would negatively affect her ability to pursue her livelihood and support her family and would hinder her and her children's ability to live peaceful lives."
The contest ended this summer when two different teams passed the 10 percent improvement mark, with the prize money going to a team led by AT&T researchers.
The suit is also asking the court to stop Netflix from launching its promised second contest to improve the recommendations – this time giving out user data that includes ZIP codes, ages and gender, along with movie ratings and ID numbers substituted for user names.
That's a foolish idea on Netflix's part, according to University of Colorado law professor Paul Ohm, who in a blog post in September called the idea "a privacy blunder that could cost millions of dollars in fines and civil damages." Ohm, a former Justice Department lawyer, recently authored a legal paper calling into question the practice of anonymizing data, essentially finding that if data is useful to researchers, it could also, by definition, be re-identified.
For instance, if a data set reveals a person's ZIP code, birthdate and gender, there's an 87 percent chance that the person can be uniquely identified.
Ohm did not however support a lawsuit against Netflix for the original contest, arguing the company made good faith efforts to hide identities, using a data-obfuscation technique called perturbation.
A Netflix spokesman said the company could not comment since it had not yet seen the suit.

Monitoring the Benefits of Active Learning Exercises in Introductory Survey Courses: An Attempt to Improve the Education of Prospective Public School Teachers
Pascal de Caprariis, Charles Barman, Paula Magee
The Journal of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning v. 1, n. 2, p. 13-23
This article explains changes in student learning initiated by the implementation of active-learning exercises in a traditionally lecture-based geology classroom. This method is similar to Just-in-Time Teaching strategies. Students used material previously learned in exercises to respond to questions in the classroom. It was found that grade distribution was more uniform in active-learning classes than in previous classes that didn't use the exercises. This article also includes a rubric for grading student responses to the discussion questions.

An Analysis of Building Energy Code Statewide Adoption Rates by Local Jurisdiction
The purpose of this study is to quantify the energy code adoption rate by local jurisdictions from a sample set of 21 states. Some of the states within this sample have statewide energy codes, while others do not. Using construction starts and weighting results by localities that have or have not adopted energy codes, the findings can suggest a means of identifying which states have "effectively" adopted state-wide codes through local adoption and enforcement.
