From the artist: This is a 1/4 scale (approximately 20-21 inches tall) sculpture of The Incredible Hulk I did for Sideshow Collectibles. It will be released as a pre-painted statue (with real fabric pants). The design was inspired heavily by the work of the great Jack Kirby.

WBMP stands for Wireless Bitmap.
WML cards can contain images. In the early days, WAP-enabled wireless devices only supported the Wireless Bitmap (WBMP) image format. WBMP images can only contain two colors: black and white. Also, WBMP is not a compressible format, since the processor of wireless devices in the old days did not have enough computation power and decompression would result in a long delay. The file extension and the MIME type of WBMP are ".wbmp" and "image/vnd.wap.wbmp" respectively.
To draw WBMP images, a WBMP image editor is needed. The Nokia Mobile Internet Toolkit comes with a WBMP image editor that you can use. Besides drawing WBMP images, you can use it to convert other image formats to WBMP. Just open a GIF or JPG image file with the editor and it will be converted automatically. Free tools such as ImageMagick can also do such kind of thing. However, remember that WBMP images can only contain black and white colors, which means there will have detail loss during the conversion of a colorful image to the WBMP format.
A WML browser can display color images if the image format used is supported by the wireless device. Currently, most mobile phone models on the market have color screens and support color images. Commonly supported image formats are GIF 87a, GIF 89a (animated GIF), JPG and PNG. Note that the image formats supported are device-specific. Some wireless devices can only support a subset of the above image formats.

MS: In beauty, there are many examples of successful woman (entrepreneurs, corporate trailblazers and artists), finding a work/ life balance is a popular subject and a challenging prospect. How do you seek to achieve balance between your life as a wife and mother and your role as General Manager?
MC: I make sure that the people I love and care about in my life know it every time I speak with them and I cherish my time with family and friends. I am passionate about the beauty industry and it gives me great pleasure to work with such caring and talented people on a daily basis that I don't think of the stress of it as much as I think of the benefits. I remain positive and try to see the best in everything and don't beat myself up if I can't get it all done in one day because sometimes the idea you come up with later is the one that made all the difference. I also get myself a haircut or massage or facial because treating yourself every now and then is essential to maintaining the balance as well.

Dozens of homeless people are no longer allowed to sleep beneath the Pontchartrain Expressway bridge near Calliope and Baronne streets.
The city blocked it off Thursday with an orange mesh fence and say they successfully moved the more than 100 homeless men and women living there into temporary homes and shelters. A handful of people were also given vouchers or put on buses and sent to other cities to live with relatives.
A few people in the homeless community, and participants with the group 'Occupy NOLA', protested the city's actions outside the New Orleans mission Friday morning.
"I was living under the bridge. I left, then came back, and it was all blocked off. I have no place to live," said Willie Money, a homeless man who lived under the bridge for eight months.
"You're giving people bus tickets to go to other cities. Well, they don't have any money! You're just moving the problem somewhere else," said Willie Anderson.
"I believe the authorities don't want folks visiting the city to see that we have this very serious problem of homelessness," said mike Howells with Occupy NOLA.
A few hours after Friday morning's protest, city workers came by and threw away dozens of clothes, shoes, medicine bags, bicycles and other belongings that homeless men and women left sitting on the sidewalk beside the Expressway bridge.
The city says they'll start regularly cleaning underneath and around the bridge. However the fence itself is temporary. The NOPD's Homeless Assistance Unit is also patrolling the area daily, helping the homeless by handing out informative packets and transporting people to get ID's, food and other items.

Good Questions: Does Anyone Recognize This Light Fixture?
Look at this fixture from my new kitchen! I am in love with this fixture, but would love a little more information on it. I am also curious about the maximum wattage I can use. It currently has 5-watt chandelier-style bulbs, which just do not give very much light. I can't find maximum wattage info on this fixture; does anyone know if I can put in higher-watt bulbs?
Faith from The Kitchn

That's a sputnik lamp, no specific designer as there were (and continue to be) many different people making these. The bulbs are actually incorrect, the ones you want are these:
It calls for 25 watt bulbs. Dimmers are ok.
Are you saying your kitchen just CAME with that fixture included?! I am HIGHLY jealous.
I have the same fixture in my living room! It's original to the house, which was built in '56. I absolutely love it. In fact, it's pretty much the reason I bought the house, which now sounds completely irrational.
The previous owners had replaced the burnt out round bulbs with candelabra bulbs. It actually kind of works, I guess, because it didn't occur to me until I saw your picture that I should maybe replace those bulbs with round ones...
My grandparents had one just like that in their entryway! Kind of which I'd claimed it when they got rid of their house... did snag the original Nelson sunburst clock from the Kitchen, though :)
Lucky duck!
i got the exact same sputnik in perfect condition at the long beach flea market a few weeks ago for $75! I don't think the guy knew what he had. yay flea markets!
I went with 15 watt satin white chandelabra bulbs. mine has 10 arms so that is 150 watts which is plenty. I may put in a dimmer, haven't decided yet.
i prefer the round bulbs to the ones that Gigi818 suggests, but that's just my opinion. the guy at the light bulb store said that they are the kind of bulbs used in vanities
Joey - your day to have a fixture like this has come unless you are wanting something vintage:
Wow, love your Sputnik chandelier!!!
I believe you can put in a higher wattage bulb but if it goes over the recommended wattage, the bulb will not last as long. I currently have a 75watt bulb in a 40watt max lamp and it's working fine. :) hope others will chime in soon.
I think the fixture is an accident waiting to happen. You should get rid of it immediately.
I am happy to take it off your hands, as a Good Samaritan, of course. j/k :D
Looks like a sputnick chandelier. It may be a reproduction like this one, which takes 25w per socket, max.
Your kitchen came with a sweet bonus!
You can buy small chrome-tipped lightbulbs from bulbs.com, which look really cool (although it's too bad I haven't seen lightbulbs with gold tips to match your Sputnik). They can look intense on full wattage, but installing a Lutron dimmer will give you the right amount of ambience.
How about putting in fluorescent bulbs? A fluorescent at the same wattage should put out more light. And you can buy fluorescents that look cuter than the standard ice cream swirl type.
If the fixture is a lightolier lamp, then it would have been designed by Gino Sarfatti. Sarfatti was an Italian designer who started the Arteluce lighting company and latter in the 70's sold that company to Flos. Sarfatti is also responsible for quite a bit of other beautiful lighting.
here is a grainy bad pic of the one in my living room:
As much as I am an advocate for CFLs, these fixtures would look positively horrid with fluorescent bulbs. The bulky transformer and twirled bulb would look incredibly awkward.
I freaked out when I heard that the government had banned all incandescent lights as of 2014. I was worried what I would put in my sputnik chandelier at home, but then it was revealed that they were only banning 40 watt - 100 watt. Dodged a bullet
I own that fixture also. We renovated our 1950s house in 1982 and were offered our pick of fixtures from a defunct lighting company. I think I spent $10 or $20 apiece on lights including this one and a companion half-dandelion that hugs the ceiling and lacks the long rods. Our children loved it. Really silly and wonderful. I cannot bring myself to get rid of it, although it's now lying in a closet because of a second renovation.

Fort Lauderdale, FL - Broward General Medical Center has been ranked eleventh out of 69 hospitals in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area in US News & World Report's first-ever Best Hospitals Metro Area 2010-11 ranking. The new metro ranking system evaluates hospitals in 52 metropolitan areas with populations of more than one million.
Broward General Medical Center also was named a high performer in heart services and heart surgery - Broward's only hospital to earn that designation - as well as for ear, nose, and throat care, and the treatment and care of kidney disorders.
For 21 years, US News & World Report has ranked hospitals annually based on a combination of factors including reputation, number of patients treated, survival rate, technology, and other variables.
According to Avery Comarow of US News & World Report, the new metro rankings are geared towards a broader consumer audience - patients who are looking for high quality local health care but who may not require the specific expertise offered at only a handful of nationally ranked facilities across the country. These centers have a strong record of high performance for most conditions and procedures in one or more specialties, and are more likely to be found in a patient's insurance network.

BMW is rolling out the special editions today, and just because some or all of them may just be the butt end of a good April Fool's joke, doesn't mean we can't revel in the ideas behind these machines. The first was an M3 pick-up that we know was absolutely an April Fool's joke, the second was the BMW M3 Royal Edition that we hope is, and now the third which we want to believe is actually true. The M3 Lightweight Concept is said to debut at the M Festival at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring race later this year and we are happy to report that many don't believe this is a joke at all. We think it looks more like a reincarnation of the limited edition BMW M3 CSL with the same limited weight focus.
The new BMW M3 lightweight concept is a sedan alternative to the M3 GTS Coupe. BMW's focus for this sedan is weight reduction, but no details have been released on its actual weight. So far, we know that the future M3 will sit between the standard M3 and the M3 GTS, but power will be closer to the standard 420 HP with tweaks made to the brakes, suspension, and exhaust for maximum performance.
So far, these are the only details provided for the lightweight M3. More details will be revealed when the vehicle is revealed this June at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Stay tuned!
UPDATE 04/27/11: In an interview with M3Post at the New York Auto Show, M Brand and Alpina Manager for the US, Matt Russell, took the time to explain a few things about the M3 GTS. He said that there are no plans to bring the production version of the M3 Lightweight to the US market. Apparently, there just isn't that much time left to build the E90 M3 and then there's that little thing called homologation that is a tad difficult on our side of the pond. BMW just couldn't get the M3 certified in the U.S.
The good news is that BMW is still trying to find parts and supplies that will fit into the U.S. regulations, so we may still get our M3 GTS after all. Hey, we can always dream, can't we?

Pornography: Yes or No?
Recently, my country 'India' banned 39 porn sites. Although most people seem to have had no decrease in the supply of pornography, i began to ponder on this issue of debate known as pornography.
Its a love-hate relation that we have with porn. Many will disagree and some actually don't like it but anyway,porn is really prevalent in our lives. Over 12 % of the websites online are porn websites and 25% of the search engine requests Pornographic related. No wonder its so widespread.
Besides normal pornography, porn also caters to smaller groups with fetishes. There is a rule on /b/ of 4chan under Rule 34 that says, 'If its there, there is porn of it". Strange thing is that its actually true. There is porn of whatever you think of. Porn is a huge industry. IMO it just depicts the sole purpose of humans in a physical world with real-life action. And since most educational institutions and parents don't teach their kids about sex and how to actually do it, I think pornography is doing a great work by teaching us how to perform. I learned a great deal watching and reading porn; and it actually benefited me and made me wiser in these matters.
Anyway, we need to discuss why it is needed in a society and for whom is it?
Is it bad entity?
Is it destructive to the human mind?
Does it destroy relations like marriages?
Should it be banned? Why?
Will banning porn really help anyone or anything?
Does porn influence people to commit sexual crimes?
It is causing teenagers and non-married people to have sex before marriage?

Jul 5 2013: I think sex websites have to be banned because they are immoral. Some people may think that those videos are okay when they see them and they would think that adultery is something normal. I think that Nudity and sexual acts degrade human beings. Children can access those videos and they might mimic the people who appear in them.
Jul 17 2013: So do you think violent movies and other media should also be banned because children might access them? And what is immoral about people being having the ability to confront and appreciate human sexuality via the web? The real problem and immorality is a society which restricts people from being able to explore and benefit from their basic human desires, instead forcing them to live a more bland life and to ignore their natural human nature.
Jul 24 2013: Do you think that long term exposure to violent movies has absolutely no effect?
Why do you assume it forces them into a more bland life. And the use of the word 'more' also assumes they had a bland life anyway, why do you assume that?
Don't you concede that there might be the possibility it could lead them to live a higher life, free from the physicality that constrains humanity?
Jul 27 2013: I never said that violent movies have no effect, but it is the job of parents to protect their kids, not the government's, especially when the government tries keep EVERYONE (adults included) from viewing such media.
And no, ignoring something doesn't make it go away, you can hide from your sexuality, but you can't forget about it. Besides, human sexuality is something that many people love to indulge in, and to force those people to ignore their natural inclinations (which make them happy) so as to satisfy some philosophical axiom of "moral decency" that was created by people who devoted their life to studying the writings of ancient schizophrenics (I'm talking about religious people) is utterly absurd.
And I never said they had a "bland" life, I'm saying that sexuality is interesting and beautiful (to many people, obviously not to you), and that ignoring such a wonderful dimension of human existence would indeed make life more bland (regardless of how bland a life you may already have been living before).
At the end of the day, you can do whatever you want, I don't care how much you choose to enjoy life, but why the hell would you ever want to restrict other people by also banning porn websites? There should always be the option to explore and love yourself and the human body in general, EVERYONE shouldn't be forced to restrict themselves, regardless of how much you personally may want to.
Jul 27 2013: Please don't assume you know me, you don't.
As any observations you make, or any comments you make, be they good or bad, will invariably always get lost when you turn something into a personal attack.
And that behavior shows you as someone that is not really worth the effort in talking to, as you don't have the ability to rationalize your thoughts and actually have a open discussion, it's a shame that you chose to descend to that level.
But it was your choice.
Jul 27 2013: No need to get offended Tify, I never claimed to "know" you entirely, I'm simply going off what you wrote. You mentioned physicality constraining humanity (in your last sentence), which indicates someone who believes that sexuality isn't beautiful, (which I'm fine with, you can have any opinion you want), and someone who also wants to overcome her physicality and restrict themselves by not indulging in pornography. This wasn't a personal attack, it was based off what you yourself wrote, this notion of physicality restraining humanity. In reality I'm perfectly fine with you doing that, don't insinuate that I disapprove because that's not how I and many others want to live, I just want to know why you want to impose your beliefs on others by banning porn. And honestly, what do you mean when you say that physicality restrains humanity? I honestly don't know what you're trying to get at given that sexuality is a way for people to connect to each other and even sync up emotionally to each other.

Fujifilm X10 review
Image quality
Fujifilm X10 review - Image quality
Tone and Exposure
The X10 employs a 256-zone metering system, with the choice of either Multi segment, Centre-weighted or spot metering modes.
The multi-segment metering coped well, delivering well-exposed shots under a range of lighting conditions, though there'll be times when you want to ride the easily-accessed exposure compensation dial to really pin-down the exposure.
Even without opting to use D-Range priority in the X10's EXR mode, the results displayed a wide tonal range. If you opt for the JPEG-only EXR mode, you'll notice an improvement in shadow and highlight detail, though that's not to say you can't get a better result with a converted Raw file.
Click here for Fujifilm X10 review sample images gallery
White Balance and Colour
The X10's Auto White Balance delivered pleasing neutral results, but on top of that there's a host of White Balance presets: Fine, Shade, Fluorescent light (Daylight), Fluorescent light (Warm White), Fluorescent light (Cool White), Incandescent light and Underwater. For even more control, there're Custom and Colour temperature options.
There are a collection of Film Simulation modes that mimic the characteristics of Fujifilm's pro stock - expect to find Provia, Astia and Velvia modes, along with a couple of mono modes and a sepia setting too.
Click here for Fujifilm X10 review sample images gallery
Sharpness and Detail
As mentioned previously, the 2/3in sensor is larger than that found among the competition. Performance is very good for a senor of this size - at low ISOs, detail is very impressive. A4 prints aren't a problem, while A3 reproductions are a realistic option.
The 28-112mm lens is sharp throughout the range - vignetting is kept well under control, while there's only a very minor hint of barrel distortion at 28mm.
ISO Quality
The X10 offers a standard ISO range from 100-3200 at 12MP, but can be pushed further to ISO 6400 at 6MP, and 12,800 at 3MP if required.
From ISO 100-800 both JPEG and Raw files deliver very good results. Above that, and as you'd expect, the quality of the image begins to deteriorate. The JPEG files have a bit too much image noise reduction applied, resulting in images that lack detail and look a touch waxy. The Raw files hold up better - image noise is present, but with some post-capture Raw conversion, this can be improved to deliver very useable results.
Click here for Fujifilm X10 review sample images gallery
The X10 comes bundled with Raw file Converter EX powered by Silkypix. This Raw converter software is very comprehensive, allowing plenty of control over your Raw files, giving you the opportunity to get the best from your shots.
As you'd expect compared to an unprocessed Raw file, the JPEG equivalents have had some processing applied to them - colours are more saturated, with sharpening and image noise reduction applied.
As yet, Adobe Camera Raw doesn't support the X10, though we expect this to be corrected with an update soon.

I have a tendency to not agree with the mainstream Dallas Cowboys media. In fact, if you want to know the truth, I think most of them are marginal writers who know very little about football. I know that comment will not endear me to them, and I honestly don't care. I'm quite tired of the hatchet jobs they do on the Dallas Cowboys just because they know controversy sells and their job is to get traffic clicks now instead of report stories to readers. Yes, I basically just lumped mainstream media in with Internet trolls who want reactions. How am I, a writer on a blog any different? I guess they have every right to see me in the same light. One difference I feel is that I actually played the game and I think I can write using facts to back up praise, or vitriol whichever I choose to use.
For instance, I don't view Draft value based upon what some Internet Scouting service has as a player's draft value. The fact of the matter is those services are never right about what NFL teams think about players. I saw plenty of Draft Publications that had Justin Pugh and Chris Long as second round picks. I saw Eric Reid clear down in the third round on one of major Draft publications and Sharrif Floyd was in the top 10 of almost every single one of them I saw. Ryan Nassib was projected in several as the first Quarterback likely off the board and possibly in the top 10 picks to the Buffalo Bills or the Arizona Cardinals. If not Nassib certainly it was Geno Smith. Yet none of those projections proved to be right. Do we then judge the publications and websites? No, we instead judge the teams. Why? Because it sells, and frankly nothing sells harder than to go after the Cowboys and their eccentric owner slash General Manager slash President, Jerry Jones.
Part of me understands this. Jerry is a combination of likable huckster, and at times babbling fool. People mistake Jerry's stammering for exactly the right metaphor as a sign of ignorance, or lack of grasp at what he is doing. They continue to paint him as the meddling all controlling Oz behind the big curtain. I just don't see it that way. Jerry is a P.T. Barnum like money maker, who doesn't care what you say about him as long as you talk about him. He literally takes to heart the mantra of Tex Schramm who said, "The only thing worse than people talking bad about you, is them not talking about you at all."
Am I saying Jerry and company deliberately reached for a player to create controversy? No, I am saying that the Draft publications got their rankings wrong on a lot of players and are overly focused on one, and turning it away from the job they did, and onto the job the team did, and the media will naturally follow along, and drag the fans with them. Was Travis Frederick the biggest reach of the Draft? Not in my opinion, but he was taken by the team that is both loved and hated on a National scale, and that is therefore news. The only thing I can say is thank heavens the Cowboys did not opt to reach for a QB because the press wouldn't be able to contain their glee. They'd be having little accidents as they type their scathing articles.

10 U.S. Code § 6241 - Medal of honor
prev | next
The President may award, and present in the name of Congress, a medal of honor of appropriate design, with ribbons and appurtenances, to a person who, while a member of the naval service, distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty—

In subsection (a) the word "award" is added for clarity since the President determines the recipient, in addition to presenting the medal in the name of Congress. The words "a member of the naval service" are substituted for the words "in the naval service of the United States" for uniformity. The word "distinguishes" is substituted for the words "shall * * * distinguish" for uniformity.
In subsection (b) the words "of the medal of honor authorized on August 8, 1942" are substituted for the words "adopted pursuant to the Act approved December 21, 1861 (12 Stat. 330)" for the reason that the 1861 Act does not establish the design, and the date of formal adoption of the design of the medal is obscure.

Across North America, in dozens of rinks, NHL players are starting anew. Some are restarting after forgetful 2009-10 seasons, some are trying to repeat a memorable season, while others are just hoping to suit up for an NHL game in 2010-11.
For the Calgary Flames, it's another situation altogether.
While last season was forgettable, the offseason has left the upcoming campaign as an unknown. What Calgary team is going to show up in October? The reception for Flames players is cold, but it's not because of the early snow fall in Calgary.
The reason why Calgary's training camp is so unique is because every aspect of the team is questionable. Aside from Miikka Kiprusoff, few players and their performances can be predicted with any level of certainty.
So to kick-start the 2010-11 season, let's examine the uncertainty that is the Calgary Flames.
Kiprusoff is a world class talent. Few will deny that. However, the acrobatic 33 year old has proven susceptible to his workload and style. Four straight seasons of 70-plus starts have been highlighted by three straight first round playoff exits and an early golf season last year (although he really can't be blamed for last season).
Henrik Karlsson arrives in town as an unknown goalie with a grand total of zero NHL experience. He occupies a position with a revolving door history, few starts and unprecedented pressure from fans. Kiprusoff has spoiled Calgary's fan base, and they expect brilliance from a back-up who starts 15 games. The learning curve will be steep for Karlsson.
A one-way contract logjam leaves the Flames with a defenceman cap hit of over $20 million and little space for prospects who deserve NHL ice time. Mark Giordano and Ian White proved to be the most dependable Flames defencemen at season's end, and both will be unrestricted free agents at the end of this upcoming season. It can be guaranteed that one, if not both, will test the waters on July 1, which means the Flames need an insurance plan.
To prepare for 2012, the Flames need Matt Pelech and John Negrin to stay healthy and see some time in the NHL. But where does the spot come from? It was awkward enough with Adam Pardy sitting in the press box late last season, so who sits out or gets demoted this season? Daryl Sutter needs to find a solution. Training camp may provide some clarity in terms of who won't be missed, but the big question is which of the expendable Flames on the back end has a moveable contract?
The Achilles heel of the Flames last season was goal scoring. This is well documented and widely accepted by the players, the organization and the public at large.
The strange thing about the offseason was that little progress was made from PR and, arguably, hockey standpoints. Olli Jokinen and Alex Tanguay were the most notable additions, although they have caused more déjà vu than optimism. As I've said in the past, the potential is definitely there, but the Flames needed certainty after last season.
Ales Kotalik's salary cap hit situation – the result of trading the aforementioned Jokinen – has only further muddied the water for Flames prospects. The Flames need to clear cap room and roster spots, not add to them. So how does a prospect with a strong training camp make the big club if D. Sutter is occupied trying to find a spot to hide salary dollars?
Even more confusing is the potential that Kotalik proves himself worthy of a roster spot in training camp. So long as Daymond Langkow and his $4.5 million cap hit are on the long term injury list, there is no problem. However, every indication is that Langkow will return sooner rather than later, which is to be expected from a player like him.
Do Jarome Iginla, Jay Bouwmeester, David Moss, Robyn Regehr, Matt Stajan and Niklas Hagman have simultaneous bounce back seasons? Can Rene Bourque stave off injury to prove worthy of his contract extension? Were Jokinen and Tanguay the missing pieces? The reality is that training camp won't answer any of these questions.
The Flames roster is essentially set before training camp begins because of the number and nature of player's salaries. If there is uncertainty now and little chance of training camp making an impact, then how is the picture going to become clearer before the first puck drop of the regular season on October 7?
Unfortunately for Flames fans, there are more questions than answers right now. It's just the result of a team with so much potential and yet so little delivery.
