"Daredevil" #11 had a special surprise in the letters page in April -- a note from none other than "Madman" creator and "X-Statix" artist Mike Allred. Addressed to Marvel Comics editor Stephen Wacker, the artist said he would "love to do a guest spot" on the book. Now, it looks like "Daredevil" readers will get a chance to see Allred's handiwork in August when the artist teams up with series writer Mark Waid for "Daredevil" #17.
In an interview with USA Today, Allred related his connection with "Daredevil" from a young age.
"Daredevil is one of the first comic-book icons I was ever exposed to," Allred told USA Today. "I clearly remember hanging upside down on the monkey bars at recess and reading a Daredevil paperback."
Although Wacker told USA Today he ran the fan letter from Allred "just as a goof," he noted writer Mark Waid "went nuts" when he heard Allred would be doing a fill-in issue of "Daredevil."
"To me, the ultimate expression of Daredevil is a shot of him bouncing off a flagpole," Wacker said. "There's just something very Daredevil about that, more than even Spider-Man. That sense is what Mike brought to 'Madman,' and that jester acrobat is something he does really, really well."
Although "Daredevil" #17 will only be a single issue for Allred, Wacker noted that in addition to drawing Daredevil, there will also be "plenty of sexy Matt Murdock, Foggy and the cast."

The fighting spirit Atletico Madrid have shown all season meant coach Diego Simeone never doubted they would come from behind to draw 1-1 against Barcelona and claim a first La Liga title for 18 years, even if the rest of the footballing world has been left stunned.
Barca needed to beat Atletico in a final-day showdown to snatch the title away and Alexis Sanchez gave the hosts hope when he rifled home from an acute angle after 33 minutes at a packed Nou Camp.
But four minutes after the break Diego Godin powered in a header from a corner and Atletico defended robustly to earn the draw they needed and claim their first championship since 1995-96.
"I never thought for a moment that the team would not be able to do it. They always have a response, the bigger the challenge is, the more determined they are to achieve it. From the first moment I walked into the dressing room here I noticed that," Simeone told a news conference.
Simeone was an Atletico player when they last won the championship and he has passed on his determination to the team as a coach.
"The work and effort of this team is the key and nobody makes any compromises. The team understands this," he said.
"Today will be one of the most important days in the history of the club. To become champions against Barcelona is a great feeling."
Atletico lost Diego Costa and Arda Turan to injury early in the match and went a goal down but still went on to get the point they needed against Barcelona. It is not hyperbole to say that Atletico's title triumph is one of the biggest achievements in the history of football. They have a wage bill that is less than QPR's and were 66/1 to win the title at the start of the season – the same price offered on Aberdeen or Motherwell winning the Scottish Premiership. They did it with a small squad, who also managed to somehow get to the Champions League final too. Barcelona (Neymar) and Real Madrid (Gareth Bale) both spent more on one player in the summer than Atletico's entire squad cost. This is a genuine feel good story in a new, money-driven footballing world.
Atletico Madrid travel to Lisbon for the Champions League final with an injury depleted squad that must be both physically and mentally exhausted. However, only a fool would write them off causing another big upset given all they've achieved this season. They will likely lose arguably their two key players in the summer to Chelsea – the on-loan Thibaut Courtois and top scorer Diego Costa - and top clubs may even court their manager too, so some sort of regression seems inevitable. But even so, nothing can take away the scale of this achievement. This is the sort of team that Atletico fans will be telling their grandchildren about in 50 years' time.
Attendance: 96,973 (477 from Atletico)
Sid Lowe (The Observer): Atlético Madrid have done it. A year after they went to the Santiago Bernabéu and took the Copa del Rey from Real Madrid, they came here and took the league title from FC Barcelona. It is their first in 18 years. Next they travel to Lisbon to play their first European Cup final for 40 years. What Diego Simeone and his side have achieved is barely believable. Barcelona's supporters recognised the magnitude of what they had witnessed: when the final whistle went here, they immediately broke into applause. Simeone's side have taken on the duopoly and defeated it. This is a monumental achievement: not only has it been 10 years since someone else won the title, the nearest anyone has been over the last five years was 24, 39, 25, 28 and 17 points. Atlético finished this season three points ahead.
Rory Smith (The Times): Atletico Madrid are champions of Spain, for the first time since 1996. That does not come close to capturing quite what an achievement this is, though, for their coach, Diego Simeone, for their players, a mixture of cast-offs and has-beens and late bloomers. This is a club that exists in a state of almost perpetual chaos, that toils in the shadow of Spain's big two, that has a fifth of their financial clout. They are precisely the sort of club, in other words, who are not supposed to win titles in the harsh capitalist reality of modern football. And yet, thanks to a mixture of courage, talent, nous, guile and a bloody-minded refusal to give up, here they are, on top of a table that includes Barcelona and Real Madrid, and with a Champions League final to look forward to next week. It may not be the ultimate underdog story, but it's roughly as close as you're going to get.
Atletico's title by far the biggest upset in Europe this season

A Divine Sign in the Mist
A Divine Sign in the Mist
The fog enveloped them in its haze, hiding them from sight–but she felt safe and at peace.
"Wow!" was all I could say about the large silver salmon my husband had just caught. The fishing trip was going great–so why was Darryl packing up his equipment? "Don't you want to keep fishing?" I asked.
We were out on The Queen Charlotte Strait, off the coast of Vancouver Island, in an aluminum boat just big enough for two. My company had rented a lodge and sponsored a fishing trip for employees, and my husband and I were thrilled to get a weekend away from the house and the kids.
A group of us had spent the morning fishing together. Then Darryl and I broke away to get some time alone. It would be a shame to end it so soon.
"Didn't you notice?" Darryl said. "Look." He pointed to something behind me. A thick blanket of fog floated across the top of the water quickly and silently toward us. Everything it touched disappeared.
I looked in the direction of the shore. We'd been only 500 feet from land minutes ago, but now I couldn't make out anything in the relentless haze.
"I hope I can get us back," Darryl said. The fog had already swallowed our boat. I could hear Darryl's voice though I could barely see his face.
Somewhere a ship's foghorn sounded. I jumped, and the boat rocked back and forth beneath me. A thin sheet of metal was all that separated us from the strong currents.
"Sit still and stay calm," Darryl said. How could I be calm? Canadian cruise ships traveled through this strait on their way to Alaska. What if we drifted into their path? They'd never be able to see us. No one could.
"Darryl, I'm getting scared," I said.
"This fog won't last forever," he said. But I could hear the frustration in his voice. The waves seemed to be getting choppier, tossing us about. I gripped the sides of the boat. My stomach churned. Darryl cut the engine.
I was almost too afraid to ask why.
"I just checked the gas can," Darryl said. "The boat's low on fuel. We'd better conserve what we have left in case we need to get out of the way of a larger boat, or away from rocks."
I'd forgotten about the jagged rock formations along the shore. If one of the big cruise ships didn't get us, the rocks might. And did we even have enough fuel to make it back to land? I stared into the fog. I saw the faces of my three sons, so real I could almost reach out and touch them.
Darryl and I had been anxious to have a weekend away. Now I feared I might never see my children again. The fog wrapped its misty tendrils around my arms and legs. Its thick wet mass ran down my nose and throat.
It seemed like the fog was enveloping everything: the boat, our fishing equipment, my husband, me. I closed my eyes: Lord, no one can see us. And I can't see a way out. I wanted to believe the Lord heard me. Surely he could see us, and knew the desperate situation we were in.
Stay calm, I told myself. The Lord knows where we are.
When I opened my eyes I was startled. There, in front of the boat, was a large arch, almost like a rainbow, but with only the slightest hint of misty color. I'd never seen anything like it. "Darryl, do you see that?"
"I've heard of fogbows," he said, "but I'd never seen one myself."
It hung in the air like a promise. "We're going to be fine," I told my husband. I knew it was true.
The loud, low rumble of a motor sounded in the distance. Darryl started the engine and we moved toward it. We followed the other boat's wake in the water and pulled alongside a decent-sized fishing boat. "Can you spare any fuel?" Darryl asked a man on deck.

Keiser University Combines Graduations Statewide Including 26 Polk Students
Frostproof woman is valedictorian among 400 graduates.
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 11:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 11:46 p.m.
FROSTPROOF | Jessica Montanez had no problem commuting to fulfill her desire for a health care career.
After graduating from high school in Frostproof, she went to Lakeland for classes at Keiser University and earned her associate's degree in radiologic technology in 2007.
Internship training was a bit farther west, in Hillsborough County, but she persevered.
It had to be a relief, however, to earn her bachelor of science degree in health sciences through Keiser's online offerings while she was working full time.
Commuting and persistence paid off for the Frostproof resident, who finished her bachelor's-level work in August with a 4.0 average.
She will be valedictorian today when Keiser has an 11 a.m. statewide commencement ceremony at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center in Orlando.
Twenty-six Polk County graduates are among about 400 expected from Keiser's 15 campuses, spokeswoman Kimberly Dale said.
"I will try to reiterate how important education is, and it will always be valuable," said Montanez, 25, who works for Tower Radiology of Tampa.
In her current job, she's moved beyond doing X-rays to training to do CT scans.
In the future, she's considering the relative merits of further education aimed at becoming a physician assistant or a doctor.
"You can never have too much education," she said.
This is the first statewide graduation for Keiser, a private, not-for-profit university. U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster, a Republican representing the 8th Congressional District, and U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, a Democrat representing the 3rd Congressional District; will be commencement speakers in Orlando.

Going Commando: Is It Healthier?
Here at the Voice, we're very concerned with sexual health -- from answering age-old questions about seasonal screwing to queries on drug-resistant pubic lice.
With the onset of summer, we decided to look into a method used by many women to keep cool -- going commando. What we wanted to know: Is the femme form of free-balling healthy or not?
So we hit up Dr. Gillian Dean, associate medical director of clinical research and training at Planned Parenthood New York City, to find out.
What did she say?

Speaking generally about ladies' nether-regions, she began by saying that there's no scientific evidence linking common maladies -- such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections -- with wearing panties with synthetic crotches or tight clothes, as some have claimed.
However, a definite link does exist between douching and disease.
"Don't douche!" she told the Voice. "Douching can mess up the normal balance of bacterias in vaginas."
So does going commando increase or decrease risk?
"You mean loose-lipping?" she asked.
Is that the technical term? we asked.
"I think we came up with this when we were in medical school. We thought 'it's not fair that there's an expression called free-balling' for guys, so we called it 'loose-lipping.'"
Besides, going commando sounds kind of masculine, she added.
But is it bad for you?
No, she said. Similar to the lack of studies linking undies and illness, there's not enough research indicating a clear tie between commando-status and better health.
She ultimately implores women just to do what feels most comfortable, as that's probably a way of your body telling you what's healthiest.
"If you have an infection, it's better to air things out," she said. "Use common sense."
In the summer, however, she says people with more free time -- such as students --often spend that free time having more sex.
"It's incredibly important to plan ahead," she cautions. "Like bringing sunscreen or cold water to the beach, you should bring condoms with you."

Canada: Forestry workers, environmentalists call for ban on log exports
Forestry workers and environmentalists gathered in Port Alberni on Friday to call for a ban on log exports and for a transition to "sustainable" second-growth harvests.
But an industry representative says a ban could destroy the coastal forest industry.
Arnold Bercov, president of the Public and Private Workers of Canada, said raw-log exports have resulted in thousands of lost jobs, with more than half of coastal mills closing since the 1990s.
He said existing mills should be retooled for second-growth lumber, which he called the future of forestry in the province.
"Of the 18 mills on the coast, 14 are really tooled for old-growth, even though that is not the majority of wood being cut on the coast. At some point, that is just a recipe for disaster," he said.
"We're talking about taking young people's future and putting it on a boat and moving it off-shore to other countries."
Bercov said he would like to see forestry companies be required to build mills, as well as legislation limiting log exports.
Torrance Coste, Vancouver Island campaigner for the Wilderness Committee, said B.C. is the only province that exports logs on a large scale.
Exports of second-growth logs are directly linked with threats to old-growth forests, he said.
"Because we're sending these logs away rather than to mills on the coast, the mills are closing. To keep them open, we have to cut into sensitive areas like the Walbran."
Sierra Club B.C. warned last week that high and increasing old-growth logging rates on Vancouver Island would lead to an ecological and economic collapse.

South Africa: SANParks plans to lob grenades at rhino poachers
The war against rhino poachers in the Kruger National Park is intensifying – grenade launchers are now part of the South African National Parks' armoury.
A weapons design and manufacturing company handed over a 40mm under barrel grenade launcher (UBGL) in Pretoria on Friday. Milkor's chief executive' Marius Roos' said this would enable field rangers to handle different situations with different types of ammunition.
"We have identified ourselves as concerned citizens of South Africa and that we need to do something for rhino poaching. We know the problem for the last few years and we therefore approached SANParks'" said Roos.
"The solution that we offer today is a UBGL' which will complement the main weapon system … SANParks will be able to deploy these weapon systems as part of rangers' arsenal of weapons to combat poaching activities nationally'" he said while demonstrating how it functions.
The grenade launcher consists of diverse less-lethal and lethal applications such as "flash bangs"' flares' smoke and rubber bullets. Roos did not say how many units were given to SANParks.

Illegal wildlife supermarkets: The 'lawless' playgrounds of Laos
... Kings Romans is the glitzy centrepiece of the 10,000-hectare Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone, a joint venture between the Laotian government and the Hong Kong-registered Kings Romans Group.
Since signing a 99-year lease in 2007, Kings Romans says it has spent hundreds of millions of dollars transforming this remote corner of northern Laos into an oasis of hotels, shops, massage parlours and banquet halls, all dominated by the casino's colossal golden crown.
* Learn more in Sin City, the EIA report that first threw the international spotlight on the Kings Romans complex, at ht.ly/q1T9302znYQ
According to local press reports, Kings Romans plans to add shopping malls, industrial zones, and an international airport, all in the hope of boosting economic growth in this impoverished nation of seven million. But critics say the enclave - three times the size of Macau - has instead become a semi-lawless zone where gambling (the legal status of which is ambiguous as there is a ban on "forbidden gambling"), prostitution, and other illicit trades flourish ...
Environmentalists allege that the area is also home to a flourishing market in endangered animal products.
In a 2015 report, the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) described the zone as "a lawless playground" and a free-for-all "illegal wildlife supermarket".
The report described wildlife boutiques stocking items such as ivory and tiger skins, and a restaurant that sold tiger meat and Hu Gu Jiu - tiger-bone wine - from a liquor-filled tank holding a complete tiger skeleton.

Beck: The Tea Party Is the New Civil Rights Movement
For the last several week, Glenn Beck has been hammering away at the theme that Tea Party activists must become the new leaders of civil rights movement because they are being discriminated against, persecuted, and denied equal protection under the law by a biased and corrupt government. And he is entirely serious, claiming that even while they are becoming the victims of KKK-like intimidation, they will eventually be the force that saves this nation.
Yesterday, Beck flew to Washington, DC for the anti-IRS/anti-immigration Tea Party rally outside the Capitol where, as he explained on his television program last night, he delivered a speech explaining to the audience that "this is a civil rights movement; you may not understand it now, but believe me, you will."
Calling upon the Tea Party to "start moving as a civil rights movement," Beck announced that he is going to be working with Alveda King, the anti-gay, anti-abortion Religious Right activist niece of Martin Luther King, who will start teaching "classes that model exactly what her uncle Martin taught her to do."
"We have to be willing to have the dogs be unleashed on us," Beck declared, because "after what I saw today on the way they're handling things at the Capitol, you're not very far from having the same kind of oppression coming our way":

Why is it important that a basis be orthonormal? The requirement for Orthonormal basis is so often repeated in linear algebra that it seems linear algebra depends on it as requirement. What is gained (or lost) if the basis are not orthonormal? Is it just for convention and convenience or is it just to restrict to the type of problems that assumption of orthonormality is beneficial?
Often orthogonality represents a form of independence (as in statistics, where it says that there is a lack of covariance, or linear algebra where direct sums of vector spaces have a canonical inner product for which the sum is orthogonal). Orthogonal basis then means the ability to decompose an effect into separate, independent, non-interacting parts that simply add up to form the whole effect. This kind of decomposition is hugely important in situations where it can be done.
When a basis is orthonormal, then a vector is merely the sum of its orthogonal projections onto the various members of the basis.
Calculating scalar product -- hence length and angle -- of vectors given with coordinates, is much simpler w.r.t. an orthonormal basis.
If $b_1,..,b_n$ is any basis, and a scalar product $\langle-,-\rangle$ is given in the vector space (else it wouldn't even make sense to speak about 'orthogonality'), then for the general formula for scalar products with given coordinates, we have to form the so called Gram-matrix of the basis: $$\Gamma:=(\langle b_i,b_j\rangle)_{i,j}$$ And then $$\langle\sum_i\alpha_ib_i,\,\sum_i\beta_ib_i\rangle=\sum_{i,j}\alpha_i\,\langle b_i,b_j\rangle\,\beta_j={\bf\alpha}^T\Gamma{\bf\beta}\,,$$ where ${\bf\alpha}^T=(\alpha_1,..,\alpha_n)$.
If $(b_i)$ is an orthonormal basis, then $\Gamma$ is the identity matrix.
Why would one carry $\Gamma$ in all formulas which uses coordinates and scalar products, if we can always construct (by Gram-Schmidt process) an orthonormal basis starting out from arbitrary basis?
The question is somewhat equivalent to asking "why is it important to use the standard basis in $\mathbb R^n$". The answer is that sometimes it is important and sometimes it is not, but clearly it is convenient to use the standard basis. So, what do you do if you have a vector space that does not have a standrad basis? or, more fundamentally, what is so standard about the standard basis?
Well, the standard basis is an orthonormal basis with respect to a very familiar inner product space. And any orthonormal basis has the same kind of nice properties as the standard basis has.
As with everything, the choice of the basis should be made with consideration to the problem one is trying to solve. In some cases, orthonormal bases will help. If there is no particular reason to prefer one base over another, then choosing an orthonormal one is likely to be easier to compute with.

A simple and efficient algorithm is presented, using configuration space, to plan collision-free motions for general manipulators. An implementation of the algorithm for manipulators made up of revolute joints is also presented. The configuration-space obstacles for an n degree-of-freedom manipulator are approximated by sets of n - 1- dimensional slices, recursively built up from one-dimensional slices. This obstacle representation leads to an efficient approximation of the free space outside of the configuration-space obstacles.

Arts Signs of the Times
Every generation has those moments that perfectly encapsulate the zeitgeist: "waist-up" footage of Elvis on Ed Sullivan, Dick and Mary's separate beds on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Patty Hearst clutching that rifle on the Hibernia bank surveillance tape.
Last night, I experienced what felt like another of these zeitgeist-defining moments. I was watching The Office on NBC. During a commercial break, the face of an Office cast member appeared on the screen. It was the actor/comedian B.J. Novak, and he looked very, very concerned. The reason why soon became apparent: This was one of NBC's "The More You Know" public service announcements, which for the past 17 years have enlightened Americans on current events and societal dangers, from racism and drug addiction to eating disorders and internet safety. Tonight, B.J. Novak tackled a new threat ruining the lives of Americans everywhere:
"Never, ever, ever videotape yourself having sex," said Novak, with deep and impressive gravity. "You can say you'll tape over it, but you won't, and the tape will fall into the wrong hands. So just don't do it. Never, ever, ever tape yourself having sex." Then, NBC's signature musical flourish, and Novak's serene voice: "The more you know…"
Recounting it now, I realize NBC's plea may have been designed to protect viewers as much as would-be sex tape participants. (God knows my life would be happier if I'd never seen that Fred Durst video.) Still, apparently we've come to a point in history when citizens need to be told not to record themselves having sex via prime-time public service announcements, which kinda makes the Pope's psychotic Good Friday address seem not so crazy….which is a terrifying state of affairs.
And then comes the glorious punchline: The whole ad is a joke, and can be seen here!
God, I love a good mindfuck. Thank you, Office.

If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
With a basket woven brown, covered in linen, hiding goodies under cross stitched flowers
She with the Crimson Hoodie, and a smile like cookies and cream
Heading for the cottage so cute, and the walls pale white, the smoking chimney raising towers
The forest so dark, and the path so long, Granny waiting like a dream
The aforementioned teen, skipping through the glades, miles from Granny, four
Her laugh so pure, and her stride so sure, swallows soaring high above her head
She smelled the smoke of beechwood ash, as she slowed and tiptoed to Granny's door
And tapped with a knock like butterfly kisses, and entered upon hearing what her Granny had said.
Her Hood slid back, and her raven hair gleamed, her Granny snuggled under the bedspread blue
The lass placed her basket on the table and eased over to Granny, her arms open wide
Her Gran silent and still, the girl leaned over, about to stroke her loved one true
And when the scruff of grey fur peeked out from the covers, the child leaped over to one side.
The deep gruff voice, and the teeth so long, and the breath so foul, and the growl
The now-wise lass, her arms and legs akimbo, her eyes steeled for combat and pain
She snicked out her blade from under the Hood, and sliced and diced the lupine creature's jowl
The blood sprayed like summer showers, and then the wolf lay still, to move never again.
Soon she had found and untied Granny from under the bed, and made two cups of camomile tea
Then, nibbling poppy seed muffins and ginger biscuits sweet, as the stench began to flee
Hands washed clean, the sweet young soul apologised for her lateness, after she had deep buried the gory Cur
"My Sensei wanted to see me after Karate class, and he does SO make my small heart Stir. "

Tulane's offense proves to be too much for Colonels
Published: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at 11:16 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — The Nicholls State Colonels had eight hits and manufactured three runs, but it wasn't enough to overcome a fast start by the Tulane Green Wave in an 8-3 loss on Tuesday night at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
Nicholls (14-14 overall) was led by Keith Kulbeth, who was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, and Adam Miley, who extended his hitting streak to seven games by going 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
Tulane (20-10) finished with 13 hits against seven Colonel pitchers to maintain the lead throughout the game. The Green Wave wasted no time getting started by jumping out to an early lead with a run in the bottom of the first on a solo home run by Brandt Boudreaux.
The Colonels answered in the top of the second as Keith Kulbeth led off with a double and Blake Bergeron was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second with no one out. After a sacrifice bunt by Brady Bourque, Kulberth scored on Kevin Schlegel's ground ball to tie the game at 1.
Tulane answered with a four-run second and another run in the third to take a 6-1 lead.
Nicholls tried to mount a rally in the fourth by manufacturing another run. Adam Miley tripled to center and came home on Kulbeth's ground ball to cut into Tulane's lead and make it 6-2.
The Green Wave added another run in the bottom of the fifth as Rob Segedin's fly ball to left drifted over the fence to make it 7-2.
After being held off the board from the fifth through the seventh, Nicholls rallied once again in the eighth as Kulbeth scored on Miley's ground ball to make it 7-3.
But in what would prove to be the theme for the night, Tulane answered once again with one in the bottom of the eighth for the 8-3 win.

Powell 'Confident' in Iraq Inspectors
Secretary of State Says Bush Hopes for Peaceful Resolution
Listen to an expanded version of Michele Kelemen's interview with Colin Powell.
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell says he's "confident" in international inspectors who have begun looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
In a Morning Edition interview with NPR's Michele Kelemen, Powell says the Bush administration hopes for a peaceful resolution to the Iraq issue but warns that if war does come, the United States and other nations will be ready to "accomplish the mission of disarmament."
Of the inspectors, which include officials from the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency, Powell says, "I'm confident that they're going to do their job... they are experts in this field and they know what the Iraqis have done in the past. They know how the Iraqis have deceived previous inspection regimes..."
"I think they'll be aggressive. I think they will try to get to the truth of the matter," he says.

Senate Armed Services Chair To Propose Alternative Sexual Assault Prevention Bill
The proposal from Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), which he will offer in the committee on Wednesday, would automatically send any general's decision not to prosecute sexual assault to the next level of command for review. It would also make retaliation against anyone who reports sexual assault a federal crime. Levin's proposal comes as a direct response to an alternate bill from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), the Chair of the Subcommittee on Personnel and a leading advocate on the issue.
Levin told reporters on Tuesday that he was offering his alternative proposal "because you've got to rely on the chain of command to change the culture, and so I don't want to take away a club they have, which is the threat of prosecution or going to a court-martial." The idea of removing authority from the chain of command faced universal pushback from the assembled military chiefs at the Senate hearing on military sexual assault last week.
Gillibrand's bill, the Military Justice Improvement Act, would remove decision-making authority on serious crimes, including sexual assault, from the alleged victim's chain of command. Cases would instead be reported to and handled by trained military prosecutors. The bill has gathered 24 co-sponsors so far, including four Republicans and nine of the Senate's 17 female members. Gillibrand's subcommittee approved her proposal by a voice vote on Tuesday, highlighting its popularity.
Currently, victims who wish to report their cases must do so up the chain of command, a policy that has proven controversial as military sexual assault has been scrutinized in Congress in recent weeks. The Pentagon estimated that 26,000 active duty members faced unwanted sexual contact in 2012. Twenty-five percent of female victims and 27 percent of male victims said that their assailant was someone in their chain of command. Only 3,347 cases were officially reported.
Current policy also allows the convening authority, the senior official who called the court-martial, to throw out cases for any reason, as was seen in a controversial case in February where an Air Force general overturned a jury's sexual assault conviction by blaming the victim. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel proposed changes that would strip the convening authority of this power in April, which are included in Gillibrand's bill and a bill passed by the House Armed Services Committee. Gillibrand's proposal would further remove the chain of command's authority to decide whether or not the case should go to trial in the first place.
The Armed Services Committee will debate the NDAA markup on Wednesday, during which both Levin's and Gillibrand's proposals will be considered. Approval from the full committee is required before the can head to the Senate floor with either proposal included.
At the Senate Armed Services Committee's markup hearing on Wednesday morning, Sen. Levin removed Sen. Gillibrand's proposal from the version of the NDAA that will head to the Senate floor and replaced it with his alternative. Aides for Sen. Gillibrand told reporters that she is expected to reintroduce her proposal later in the summer.

"Oxford" Oxford by martin_nl
Oxford Travel Guide: 1,000 reviews and 2,125 photos
Welcome to my Oxford page. I have been to Oxford last September, and had a great time. I was picked up this day from the Airport in Luton by Alex, a girl I had met while travelling in Australia and we decided to go to Oxford for the afternoon. Yep just the afternoon, which of course was way too short, but nevertheless we were able to see a lot. The afternoon was just great. There were blue skies everywhere, not a single cloud in the sky. Quite a difference to Bangkok, were I was only a day before.
We got to Oxford around noon and parked the car at a carpark close to the Magdalen Bridge, from where we ventured into the city. We walked onto High Street and turned right onto Radcliffe Square. There we hang about for some time and even met Cherrie Blair in the Divinity School ;)) She looked a bit blonder and younger than usual but nevertheless..... Then on to Broad Street browsed through a book shop there and walked to the main shopping street. We had some lunch, fish and chips, in a restaurant in a side street of the shopping street and then continued to the Carfax Tower. We climbed the tower and enjoyed the great view from up there. The tower isn't particularly high, but then again none of the buildings really are in Oxford so the view is still great. Finally we went to Christ Church to look around in this wonderful college where even some scenes of the Harry Potter films were filmed and where Alice in Wonderland came into existence.
Wewere not able to visit any of the other colleges this day since they were all closed for tourists. The day we had picked to take alook around the city was the day of examinations, too bad, but then again we wouldn't have been able to see them because there wasn't enough time anyway.
- Pros:Wonderful architecture
- Cons:Check opening times of the colleges

Quite nice, your Oxford pages - the weather is now very different, though...
great oxford pics! i see you were there on a rare sunny day. doug48
Outstanding introduction, and I certainly enjoyed your fine travelogues with the spectacular photographs. The whole site reads like a travel diary; thus, one feels as though we are there with you.
great photos of Christ Church. I never got a chance to go into the dining hall. My first Harry Potter attempt thwarted! :-/
Great meeting you in NY. Just checking out some of you pages.
Glad you enjoyed Oxford. Our son is studying maths at Magdalen College and has enjoyed the punting (free to Magdalen students.) We hope to look round when we take him back in October.
Excellent page, you saw a lot of Oxford in one afternoon. Hope you get the chance to return and see all the colleges, it's well worth it.
Ahhh! To be 24 and living in Europe. At least you can travel even with a new job. I'm very jealous of both you and my son!. He spent a summer in Oxford studying ;-) in 1997. Looks like a beautiful place to visit. BTW Italy WAS fantastic...Tom
These pics are amazing. Wish I saw Oxford like this when I was there!! Well done :-)
I always look forward visit Oxford someday....It looks like a religious city...different culture is absorbing...nice page

We continued to investigate data quality evaluation in Big Data phenomenon and published three new papers on this topic:

Lyshevski, S.E. ; Reznik, L. ; Smith, T.C. ; Beisenbi, M.A. ; Jarasovna, J.Y. ; Mukataev, N.S. ; Omarov, A.N. Estimates and measures of data communication and processing in nanoscaled classical and quantum physical systems, 2014 IEEE 14th International Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE-NANO), Toronto, 2014 , pp.1044 – 1047
L. Reznik, S. Lyshevski Data Quality and Security Evaluation Tool for Nanoscale Sensors, SECURWARE 2014, The Eighth International Conference on Emerging Security Information, Systems and Technologies, Lisbon, November 16-21, 2014 in NetWare 2014, ISBN: 978-1-61208-047-5, pp. 118-122
Recently, in our research we moved from specifying the concept of data quality evaluation and assurance to investigating its various aspects. In ' L.Reznik and E.Bertino Data Quality Evaluation: Integrating Security and Accuracy, CCS '13: Proceedings of the 2013 ACM SIGSAC conference on Computer & Communications Security, Berlin, November 2013' we looked at the relationship between the accuracy and security indicators and their role in data quality, and how this knowledge can help improve the design of complex cyber-physical sytems and networks
while in ' S.E.Lyshevsky and L.Reznik Information-theoretic estimates of communication and processing in nanoscale and quantum optoelectronic systems, 2013 IEEE XXXIII International Scientific Conference on Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO), 16-19 April 2013, pp. 33-37' we looked for data quality indicators, which might work in nano-scale systems.
At the same time, I continue my research with my former students on the topics of:
We continued our collaboration (see below) on data quality assessment in cyber-physical data acquisition and control systems with my colleagues Greg Timms, Paolo de Souza from Tasmanian Information and Communication Centre, CSIRO, Australia that resulted in a new paper G.P. Timms, P.A. de Souza, Jr., L. Reznik and D. V. Smith Automated Data Quality Assessment of Marine Sensors, Sensors 2011, 11(10), p.9589-9602
Also, I presented a more generic approach to the data quality assessment to the 2012 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Conference. See L.Reznik Integral Instrumentation Data Quality Evaluation: the Way to Enhance Safety, Security, and Environment Impact, 2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference, Graz, Austria, May 13-16, 2012, IEEE, 2012, pp. 2138 - 2143 in IEEExplore on-line library (you should have an access to IEEExplore).
Cognition is a fundamental feature of natural intelligence, which a modern technology has not yet been able to reproduce in full capacity. Sensor networks provide a new technological support for a substantial increase in an amount and quality of information that might be collected and communicated in complex adaptive systems. Their application may significantly raise the degree of intelligence in system design and implementation into the levels where effects of cognition will start kicking in. The paper, which we just published in IEEE SENSORS Journal, with my students Greg Von Pless (BS/MS class of 2007) and Tay Karim (BS/MS class of 2006) describes the results of an empirical study aiming to demonstrate that a cognition ability may be treated as a generic sensor network feature. See L. Reznik, G. Von Pless, and T.Karim Distributed Neural Networks for Signal Change Detection: On the Way to Cognition in Sensor Networks, IEEE Sensors Journal, vol.11, issue 3, March 2011 . It is already available in IEEExplore on-line library (you should have an access to IEEExplore).
With my students Mike J. Adams (BS/MS class of 2008) and Brian Woodard (BS/MS class of 2009) we have published a paper that improves neural network based intelligent design of intrusion detection systems by dynamically modifying them with genetic algorithms. This approach allows to optimize an intrusion detection based not on performance only but also on a resource consumption. See L. Reznik, M. J. Adams, and B. Woodard Intelligent Intrusion Detection Based on Genetically Tuned Artificial Neural Networks, Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, Vol.14, No.6 pp. 708-713, 2010 . It is already available in this Japanese journal on-line library.
An application of intelligent techniques in measurement result processing is discussed in our recent paper G.N.Solopchenko, K.K. Semenov, V.Kreinovich and L.Reznik Measurement's Result and its Error as Fuzzy Variables: Background and Perspectives published in Key Engineering Materials, vol. 437, May 2010, pp 487-491 journal.
How to make sensor networks and systems communicate not only the data they collect but also automatically calculate and provide some characteristics of these data quality? My colleagues Greg Timms, Paolo de Souza from Tasmanian Information and Communication Centre, CSIRO, Australia and myself answer this question in the paper G.P. Timms, P.A. de Souza, L. Reznik Automated assessment of data quality in marine sensor networks, IEEE International Conference OCEANS 2010 IEEE – Sydney, Australia, 24-27 May 2010. It is available in IEEE Xplore library.
Another paper on intelligent sensor networks authored by my students Jody Podpora (class of 2006), Greg Von Pless (class of 2007) and myself was published in IEEE SENSORS Journal, see J.Podpora, L. Reznik, G. Von Pless Intelligent Real-Time Adaptation for Power Efficiency in Sensor Networks, IEEE Sensors Journal, vol.8, issue 12, December 2008, pp.2066-2073 . It is available in IEEExplore on-line library (you should have an access to IEEExplore).Our paper L.Reznik and V.Kreinovich "Fuzzy Prediction Models in Measurement" is published in IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, volume 16, No.4, August 2008, pp. 851-862 . It is available on-line in IEEExplore library (you should have an access right to IEEExplore)
My students Dima Novikov (class of 2006), Roman Yampolskiy (class of 2005) and myself published a paper on intrusion detection. D. Novikov, R. V. Yampolskiy, L. Reznik Traffic Analysis Based Identification of Attacks. International Journal of Computer Science & Applications (IJCSA), vol. 5, Issue 2, 2008, pp.69-88 It is already available on-line in IJCSA repository
Wiley and Sons just released Handbook of Granular Computing /Ed: W. Pedrycz, A.Skowron and V.Kreinovich , Wiley and Sons , Chichester, England, 2008, ISBN 978-0-470-03554-2 On pp.517-532 you can find my new paper L. Reznik Measurement Theory and Uncertainty in Measurements: Application of Interval Analysis and Fuzzy Sets Methods
My main research area is design and development of intelligent cyber-physical computer control, sensor, measurement and information networked systems built upon mobile communication and wireless sensor networks platforms. I am interested in both theoretical and practical aspects, and especially in computer security and quality assessment.
Everyone knows about mobile communication and computer security but what are sensor networks? - see a recent article in Washington Post.
Want to learn more about sensor networks software? - see the TinyOS community forum and University of California at Berkeley website and hardware: see the main manufacturer's sides: Crossbow Inc. and MoteIV

Delicious, though I modified it a bit and made a pita pizza! Started out by sauting the porabella's first in olive oil and then the red pepper, onions and a garlic clove. Added a bit of italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Put the mushroom mixture on the pita, topped with cheddar and baked at 500 in a toaster oven for 10 mins. Like the idea of adding a splash of wine and will try that another time.
Wow! This was really good! I had something similar at restaurants, but this far surpasses. I followed the recipe to a T and used Jack cheese. I didn't coursely chop the mushroom, instead, I sliced it in strips. It is quick, easy and definitely yummy! Thanks, Fluffy for something quick and wonderful to make for lunch or a light supper! Edited to add: Dh was hungry when he came home from work at 1 am, so I whipped up another batch. Only thing different I did was add a splash of red cooking wine when it was nearly done, mixed and let reduce. It added a nice flavor. DH loved it and asked for seconds! This is a keeper!

I launch Minecraft.exe which invokes Javaw.exe. I wish for Javaw.exe to be running in High priority because Minecraft lags if not.
I tried invoking Minecraft.exe with a high priority by doing this:
Start "Minecraft" /high "C:\Users\Barrie\Documents\Program Files\Minecraft\Minecraft.exe"
This would work if it wasn't for Minecraft loading Javaw.exe. I would love a simple solution - perhaps a command I can put into the batch script - which will change the priority of Javaw.exe after it loads.
Edit: I'd like to thank everyone for their response to my issue. I fixed this by executing Minecraft.exe with a batch script then calling an AHK script to change the priority of Javaw.exe.

Finally I was able to start runing my workflow, it starts ok, and then it generates a task, but when I go to the task, it doesnt have the Approve or Reject buttons, What am I missing?
A workflow task doesn't have Approve/Reject functionality out of the box. You can only mark it as complete. If you edit the workflow task you should see a "Complete Task" button. Click it and the workflow will continue.
Make sure that, "%complete" and "task status" fields are not hidden in content type. They are necessary for task outcome works correctly. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/16635209-28f8-481b-a909-a5bb79576333/task-outcome-buttons-disapeared?prof=required

* KOSPI underpinned by robust foreign net buying * Won inches up amid intervention caution SEOUL, May 15 South Korean shares hit their highest levels in more than five month highs on foreign buying, but gains were capped by profit taking following a five-day rally, while the won firmed on robust capital inflows. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) was up 0.1 percent at 2,011.97 points as of 0235 GMT after hitting as high as 2,015.37, the strongest level since Dec. 3, 2013. "The market is simply catching some breath after a run, but market sentiment hasn't been harmed as foreigners robustly purchase in spot and futures markets," said E-Trade Investment analyst Choi Kwang-hyeok. According to the bourse operator Korea Exchange, foreign investors bought a net 1.4 trillion won worth of KOSPI 200 futures contracts on Wednesday, the largest amount since May 9, 2013. Foreign investors had purchased a net 156.5 billion won ($152.3 million) worth of KOSPI shares by late morning, after buying a net 559.3 billion won in the previous two sessions. "The market should extend its gains from this run, although there will be some downside pressures to manage the pace," added Choi. The main bourse has risen 3.6 percent in the previous five sessions to its highest closing level since Dec. 30, 2013 on Wednesday. The winning streak lifted the 14-day relative strength index to 73.4. Stocks are deemed "overbought" above the 70-mark, which tends to signal a reversal in the near-term. Profit taking brought down state-run utilities company Korea Gas Corp and cosmetics company Amorepacific Corp 1.4 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively. In the foreign exchange market, the won was quoted at 1,026.6 per dollar as of 0235 GMT, up 0.1 percent from Wednesday's onshore close at 1,027.9. The won has risen 3.7 percent this quarter and breached the strongest level in almost six years. Local foreign exchange authorities, however, have been wary of the rapid pace of appreciation, and were suspected of purchasing dollars to curb its strength on Wednesday. "The authorities will not back off easily as they robustly defended the won yesterday," a foreign bank currency dealer said. Meanwhile, June futures on three-year treasury bonds rose 0.09 points at 106.02, buoyed by expectations of credit easing by the European Central Bank. Reuters on Wednesday quoted sources as saying the European Central Bank is preparing a package of policy options for its June meeting, including cuts in all its interest rats and targeted measure aimed at boosting lending to small- and med-zied firms(SMEs). 0235 GMT Prev close Dollar/won 1,026.6 1,027.9 Yen/won 10.07/08 10.0824 *KTB futures 106.02 105.92 KOSPI 2,011.97 2,010.83 * Front-month futures on three-year treasury bonds ($1 = 1027.7500 Korean Won) (Reporting by Jungmin Jang; Additional reporting by KyoungHo Lee; Editing by Kim Coghill)

Apricot, Cashew Smoothie
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
Fruity, thick and nutty! A great way to have a breakfast on the run. Blend it up and take it with you. Enjoy this drink full of calcium and protein! The raisins are the sweetener but if you like it sweeter you can add some sugar or honey. Freeze the apricots the night before if you have time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup cold water
- 1⁄4 cup ice cube
- 1 cup fresh apricots or 1 cup dried apricot, rehydrated
- 1⁄4 cup instant powdered milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cashews
- 1 tablespoon raisins (soften if needed with warm water)
- Add all of the ingredients in order listed into a blender and blend till smooth.
- Add more ice water if needed.
Most Helpful
This recipe made interesting use of the contest ingredients. It's thick like a milk shake. I added some honey as suggested in the introduction. As much as I love eating cashews, I think I would like this smoothie better without them. (I know, then it wouldn't have 5 contest ingredients!) I recommend freezing the apricots as recommended so your smoothie will be good and cold.
Holy smoothie. This is like drinking dessert for breakfast, honestly! I used dried apricots and vanilla soymilk instead of the powdered milk and water, and- wow. Sooo sweetly scrumptious. Thanks for posting!
Raisins in a smoothie ~ Who'd a thunkit! It took me a bit longer to put this all together, but I wanted the fruit soft so soaked both raisins & dried apricots in hot water for an hour, & by the time that was done, the water was room temp, so I used that water in place of the cold water & ice cubes! I also made a double batch, 'cause I wanted to see what the texture & taste was like right after mixing the ingredients {my first serving] AND the next morning when I had the last of it! This makes for a very tasty drink & I thoroughly enjoyed it! Many thanks! [Made & reviewed as a recipenapped bonus in Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #14, Mar 08]

Definition of shuttle in English:
1A form of transportation that travels regularly between two places: the nine o'clock shuttle from Boston [as modifier]: a shuttle bus service from the city center
More example sentences
- Paris has two airports, which both operate a regular shuttle bus service to the Disney resort, taking 45 minutes.
- Free shuttle buses transport visitors between the two parks.
- Volunteers who have official accreditation passes will be able to avail of free transport on the shuttle busses to the venues.
1.1 short for space shuttle.
Example sentences
- Dr. Bonnie Dunbar set the US space record of 112 days in space aboard the shuttle and Russian space station Mir.
- As the NASA shuttle orbiting the Earth docked with the Mir space station, the hacker disrupted the computer systems monitoring the medical conditions of the crew.

- Also on display on the cart are accessories once familiar to thousands of East Lancashire weavers - shuttles and pirns on which weft yarn was wound.
- Not much later, she was settled into a comfortable rhythm, the shuttle darting in and out between the warp threads.
2.1A bobbin carrying the lower thread in a sewing machine.
Example sentences
- Sara lowered her gaze to the tatting shuttle in her hand.
3 short for shuttlecock.
Example sentences
- Nathan first played at six, Gail at four, her mother lobbing shuttles at her as she wielded a specially shortened racket.
- Rallies last far longer than in tennis - about 10 shots more on average - and the shuttle is in play for roughly double the time.
- I looked at the number of courts set up in the gym and saw the shuttle being played back and forwards.
verb[no object]
1Travel regularly between two or more places: he shuttled between Manhattan and Silicon Valley
More example sentences
- Soon she was shuttling regularly to Gdansk via Berlin to take advantage of cheap flights.
- Expensive charter vacations now regularly shuttle wealthy Japanese tourists to Anne Shirley's Prince Edward Island.
- In the meantime, the private players will go on finetuning the facilities they offer to regulars who shuttle between these cities.
1.1 [with object] Transport in a shuttle: the river taxi shuttled employees between the newspaper's offices and the capital
More example sentences
- Along with about two-dozen other bank employees being shuttled to work on a minibus, Shakir was waiting at the same checkpoint.
- The ferries that used to shuttle area residents along the river stopped in the 1950s when a highway cut the neighborhood off from the waterfront.
- Wind the clock forward half a millennia or so and Queen Elizabeth II wears the crown, and Hythe ferry is still shuttling passengers across Southampton Water.
Old English scytel 'dart, missile', of Germanic origin; compare with Old Norse skutill 'harpoon'; related to shoot. Sense 1 and the verb are from the movement of the bobbin from one side of the loom to the other and back.
Old English scytel meant 'dart, missile' and is from a Germanic source; Old Norse skutill 'harpoon' is related. The use for a form of transport going backwards and forwards between two fixed places stems from association with the movement of the shuttle used in weaving going from one side of the loom to the other. The word's use in space travel is from the 1960s.
