Table of Contents
Concept|Servo Automaton
Cellular Automata (CA) are mathematical models for complex natural systems, consisting of a group of identical components who's behaviour is determined by local interactions with neighbouring components. Each component has a current state that is updated in a synchronous cycle along with the states of all other components. For this update, components use identical rules that determine the next state depending on one's own state and that of their neighbours.
Although these systems are defined by simplistic local rules, it has been shown that CA have the capacity to show complex behaviour[1] . Stephen Wolfram has directed much attention to the use of CA in modelling as well as the mathematical analysis thereof. One of his findings is that CA fall into four basic behaviour classes that can be distinguished both qualitatively and mathematically[2] . This project uses a three-piece modular robotic installation to enact these different classes of CA behaviour in physical space.
ConceptThe project really has three main keystones: modularity, physical communication through buttons and locally interacting robots.
Modularity in build and codeThe robotic system consists of three identical components that can be attached and detached if so desired. This has proved incredibly beneficial during the development of individual behaviour programs. Because each component can be detached and individually programmed, working in parallel with a group of three contributors becomes possible and overal development time is kept within limits.
This modular approach in the physical build is also reflected in the main code of the program. A strong object oriented programming (OOP) approach is taken for the implementation of the basic functionality of board, fingers and buttons. These different types of objects are implemented as separate classes with their own specific methods and internal data structures. Overal the OOP approach lends itself to improved flexibility and reusability in development. The main advantage of using objects in code though is the way this view is analogous to how we usually tend to think about the world around us. Objects in the world, such as a robotic arms, have specific features and allow certain actions to be performed on them.
Because CA lends itself perfectly to such an object based approach, the CA framework is also implemented as such.
Machines Pressing ButtonsIt was clear quite early that we all liked to work around the idea of having several components communicating between each other. Because we are building a physical system we have chosen to have also the interactions mediated in physical space. The idea of having robotic fingers pressing each other's buttons appealed strongly and we decided to construct the installation so that each of the three components has a button appropriated to it. This sense of ownership is reflected in the object oriented code where each instance of class Finger has a instance of class Button assigned to it. The idea of objects 'owning' other objects adds to the sense of autonomy of the components individually and the system as a whole.
Looking at Neighbourscomplex global behaviour emerges from local interaction
The central reason to use the states changes of CA as inspiration of the behaviour of the robotic system is their link to the simulation of natural systems and their use in Artificial Life. The characteristics of emergence of complex global behaviour from simple local interactions have made CA a subject studied by many researchers from different fields like biology, physics and mathematics. The particular feature of CA converging to attractor states gives the systems the capacity of self-organisation. It is these attractor states that distiguish the different classes of CA rules. Wolfram distinguishes four classes for each of which an example development is included:
Class 1 behaviour converges to a stable homogeneous attractor. After some number of updates, all components in the system have the same state.
Class 2 behaviour converges to a stable spatially periodic or periodic attractor. After some number of updates, components stay in the same state, with several state values present or shows a periodic behaviour in space and time, such that a sequence of states is repeated with a steady period.
Class 3 behaviour converges to a chaotic pattern. The only way of algorithmically predicting future states from initial states is to simulate the complete sequence of intermediate states.
Class 4 behaviour leads to complex localized structures, sometimes long lived. These structures are also not efficiently predictable.
Issues encountered
- What buttons to use? We hacked 3 computer mice for pus from mouse, but ended up using bought push buttons as they were better in size
- How to get all servos attached? We extended cables using shrink wrap
- How to design a finger that looks similar to a human finger? We studied the anatomy of our own hands.
- How to get signals from push buttons into urbiscript? buttons -> arduino -> serial -> processing -> network port on localhost -> urbiscript
- How to implement a object oriented CA system? Written OO program in Python.
- How to connect Python to Urbi? Used network via different port on localhost.
- Arduino stops communicating with Processing?! Switch usb ports...?!
ExtensionsThe biggest extension I would like to make is in the physical build of the project. At the moment the simple components lead to a difficult dichotomy. Modelling each entire finger as a CA component yield a total number of 3 components. This state space has a size of 2^3 = 8 possible sates which is to small to enact class 4 chaotic behaviour. From an initial state it takes at most 6 update iterations to reach the initial state and the behaviour thus collapses in class 3 behaviour with a period of 6. The same rules applied to a CA with a larger number of components however can lead to chaotic behaviour (minimal 6 cells are necessary). Because of the moluarity, an extension to more components is very feasable.
Because three components limits the complexity of the automaton, each robotic finger could be split up in three servos that function as seperate components. This would mean ideally that each of the components has its own button to set the startstate of the finger. Further issues with this design are that the components are no longer identical and that its far from trivial how to model the components in 1-dimensional circular CA.
See this documentation section for a detail overview of the different steps in the building process per week.
Software|CodeI developed the Board, Finger and Button classes in canCanBot.u, from where the three of us went our own way. I chose to implement the CA behaviour in Python because of its flexibility, reusability and speed and used a socket connection for the communication from Python to Urbi. On the Python end, users are presented with an interactive interface and can choose different commands to control the robot.

- Both have roughly the same speed CPU and 8GB of RAM.
- They have different Raid controllers, and more or less the same amount of disk space (roughly 6TB.)
Can the servers use different types of hardware? Is there any documentation about this?
The last question I have is about the network. Can DFS-R be forced to use a differen subnet from the regular network?

Every October for the past 14 years, Scott and I travel to a quiet island in the southern Bahamas for a little sun and relaxation. Scott is an avid fly fisherman, I am a certified scuba diver, and we both enjoy a short period of sun and relaxation in between our busy summer work season and the long, cold, snowy winter season. Our primary recreational pursuits in Juneau involve getting out in the backcountry and away from town, so it should be no surprise that we seek the same experience on our vacation.

rogerio camposwrote a review of Giordana FormaRed Bib Shorts with Cirro Insert - Men's on June 15, 2015
Completely wrong size!
Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Fit: Runs small
It is not my first Giordana piece. I have one of FormaRed knickers and they are great. At this time I bought the bib version of the same model.
When I received it I realized they run extremely small. The large size fitted perfectly for my 12 years old skinny boy...very disappointed!
It will be returned.

SIFF SIFF Opening Night Live Slog!
posted by May 22 at 18:40 PMon
Update! 9:50pm
Well, I did not particularly enjoy watching The Battle in Seattle. Maybe it was the vague sea turtle politics, or Movie Gary Locke's craaaazy accent (because all Asians have English as their second language?), or every word anyone spoke at any point when there was a lull in the explosions: "I don't want the cover of some brochure magazine to be the closest we ever come to adventure." "You want adventure? You just signed up for the greatest adventure of all!"
There are about a million Stranger writers here, so I'm sure they'll have more to say about the movie tomorrow. For now, here's Angela Garbes on Charlize Theron: "She didn't get to do much in this movie but lay in the fetal position and cry."
After the movie, during the Q&A, Stuart Townsend announced "We're as indie as it gets." Really? As indie as it gets?
It is after 10pm and the fried snacks in the VIP tent are now cold. I'm skipping the press conference, but if it's anything like the post-show Q&A it should yield many variations on the phrase, "I read the script and it was just so powerful, you know?" Now I'm going to go back and get some cake.
And finally, I give you Charlize Theron's legs, Michelle Rodriguez's posture, and Andre Benjamin's adorable face:
Hey people!
You know what is fucking boring? Celebrities. Walking around. Celebrities walking around talking to John Curley about their characters from Battle in Seattle.
The first thing that happened to me when I got here was that I missed Andre 3000, the only celebrity I actually wanted to see/photograph. Luckily, the back of his outfit (which I witnessed while chasing him down a hallway, before being savagely denied entrance to the Very Important Tent) did not disappoint: mismatched double denim and a straw hat.
I don't have much time, because I have to go, you know, watch that movie, but here are a few first impressions:
1. The Loneliest Curley
John Curley has stitches in his startlingly aged neck. Did someone knife our Curley?
2. Michelle Rodriguez is seriously wearing the worst outfit ever. I'll leave the dressing while drunk jokes to y'alls peoples.
3. The Foot of Rodriguez
M-Rod says: "My character's pretty complicated but, you know, she's a cool chick."
4. Were you wondering what Charlize Theron's tiny nose looks like? You're welcome!
5. According to my sources, Eddie Vedder and le Charlize just had a meet-cute on the red carpet. I would have photographed it but I was in here. Blogging. For you.
More to come after the movie!

I've got an Ubuntu 10.11 box with a wireless connection and a wired connection. In the wired end I've got a rented network printer whose configuration I can't change (no access). It is set up to use dhcp and access the internet through gateway 10.0.0.1. It needs an internet connection to email scanned documents to users.
The wireless network is in fact the 10.0.0.X subnet, the gateway is 10.0.0.1, and the wireless router has a dhcp server. I can change all these settings if needed.
I want to make it seem to the printer and all the other PCs on the wireless network that it's just a regular participant on that network. I'm quite proficient when it comes to setting up internet connections and configuring wireless routers, but this kind if thing is a strange new world. I've looked at a lot of guides to setting up linux as a router or NAT or bridge, but no guide seems to tell me how to achieve what I want. So far I've set up ipv4 forwarding and installed webmin, bind9 and a dhcp server, but it seems to me I shouldn't need any servers to do this.
If someone could provide just a small push in the right direction it would really help a lot. I don't even know what this I'm trying to achieve is called, so it's hard to google.

Himalayan Healthcare had a great year in 2013 and we are hopeful of an even more productive year in 2014. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us with their time and funds to provide healthcare, education and income generation for the people of Nepal. In 2013 we have been able to work with fantastic partner organizations such as GlobeMed and Rotary Club. Sadly, for the first time in over 20 years we cancelled our fall medical trek due to the political instability during elections in Nepal and the inability to guarantee the safety of our medical volunteers or staff members.
We are very happy to announce that the political climate is improved and our spring medical trek will take place as planned. We already have a full roster of medical volunteers and anticipate a very successful trek.
We are also very thankful for our international volunteers. One such volunteer, Dr. Ernesto Jones, spent three months working in the town of Ilam training medical providers. He is now spending an additional 6 weeks in the area providing training to local health care providers there.
We continue to work with the Rotary Club of Kopundole in Kathmandu and receive funding through a generous Rotary Club in New York. We completed our 2013 project with our Rotary Club colleagues building 50 latrines and 100 stoves. Since December, we are also now able to map each location with GPS coordinates to provide additional transparency to our work. The new efficient woodstoves in homes in these villages will reduce dangerous exposure to smoke and decrease fuel needs, preventing deforestation. We will continue to work with the Rotary Club in 2014.
We will also continue to work with GlobeMed in 2014. In January we will meet the 5 new participants of the team. These students will live and work in remote villages for four months in 2014.
We have continued to provide medical care at our hospital in Ilam with a record number of patients (3,600) being seen in medical camps in the surrounding villages in 2013. This winter we have run a dental sealant program in the villages surrounding Ilam. Dr. Krishna, a dentist working with us, has been visiting one school per week providing sealants to the children in the schools. Last week at the Janakalyan school the teeth of 61 patients were sealed.
The health care program continues in the rural villages as well. We have helped to purchase land to open a health center in the Lapa village called Kapurgaon. This health center will function as a private-public partnership with the Nepali government. In addition, we are making improvements in Sherthung so it can be the major health center for three villages. As reported in our Summer 2013 update, we are funding the education of villagers, such as one local woman who will finish training as a health assistant and will work in the Sherthung health center; and another, who will finish training as a lab tech and work in Sherthung as well.
Finally, in 2013 our handicrafts business, Jeevan Kala, generated $17,000 in wages to 200 local artisans from the sale of their products. We will continue to expand this as a method of income generation for the artisans as well as to provide funds for the medical care in the villages.
We look forward to your new or continued support of Himalayan Healthcare in 2014. Your assistance is crucial to our work and we are grateful for our GlobalGiving supporters!

Amazon.com Review
Void Moon traces the path of Cassie Black, a gifted thief who struggles with the temptation of "outlaw juice" (the burning desire to live the fast life of crime and payoffs) even while she regularly attends her probation meetings. It's not that hawking Porsches to newly flush young Hollywood males isn't satisfying, but... well, it isn't. After years away, she returns to her old striking grounds in Las Vegas for one last big mark hoping to pave her way into a new life. But Cassie discovers that her old Las Vegas is a new town with a new skyline and new (and more deadly) bad guys; it is also a place haunted by the ghost of her lover-partner Max. When her take proves to be 10 times larger than she imagined, her road to freedom runs afoul of the Mob while a morally questionable--and openly vicious--PI sniffs her trail.
With its attractive central character, meticulous plot, and glitzy packaging, Void Moon seems perfectly poised for the New York Times bestsellers list. That is not to say, however, that Connelly has "dumbed down" his usual presentation. The novel displays Connelly's stunning ability to breathe reality into his fiction with the subtle details that can only come from careful research and his years of experience reporting on crime for the L.A. Times. What other author has so lovingly described the aftermath of crime? The jail sentence, recidivism, the numbing visits to the parole officer where "she held the plastic cup she would have to squat over and fill while an office trainee, dubbed the wizard because of the nature of her monitoring duty, watched to make sure it was her own urine going into the container." While we Connelly fans are always eager to read the next Bosch, once again we're not disappointed with Connelly's "vacation." --Patrick O'Kelley --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Pat Robertson Revives Lie That Obama Is A Muslim…Continues To Sound Like An Idiot!!
On The 700 Club today, Pat Robertson floated the debunked conspiracy theory that President Obama went to a madrassa in Indonesia when he was a child and said that the president has a Muslim "inclination." Earlier this year, the televangelist's son and heir apparent Gordon Robertson also made the false claim that Obama used to be a Muslim. Discussing Obama's recent trip to Indonesia to take part in the ASEAN conference, the elder Robertson said that Obama's mother, who raised him, "just sort of flitted around," leaving him to be influenced by his "Kenyan socialist" father. This upbringing, Robertson claims, gave the president "a warped perspective of what needs to be done to make America the greatest nation on earth."

Music & Arts Day Camp
"Rooted in History and Growing!"
The Chatham Music and Arts Day Camp provides intensive music and art experiences to students Pre K – 9th grade. Campers also enjoy traditional summer camp activities such as swimming and sports to supplement the core art, theater and music curriculum.
- As a parent putting my 6-year old son in summer camp for the first time, I could not ask for a better camp experience for him. He loved every bit of it from daily pool access, to ASL and art classes. He loved being part of the musical "Swamped!" at the end of his 6 weeks. He adored his friendly supportive counselors. It was a completely wonderful experience

WebMD Answers
The risk is determined by a person's behavior, not his/her gender.
Men who have sex with men are 10 to 15 times more likely than the general population to be infected with hepatitis B.
Viral hepatitis is also more common among people who come from parts of the world where the disease is endemic, including Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Infection is also more common among current or former users of inhaled or injected drugs. People with tattoos or piercings are also more likely to be infected because the needles used to create these body decorations sometimes harbor the hepatitis virus.
Of course, just because someone belongs to one of these risk groups doesn't mean he or she is infected. And just because someone doesn't belong to a risk group doesn't mean he or she is free of infection.

My wife runs our dog's blog (WP 3.5) over at http://sprocketminpin.com/, and we had WPTouch (Version 1.9.6) installed. When she uploads video from her iPhone to the site, it plays fine if WPTouch is off, but if it is on, the videos play fine in the mobile browser.
After comparing the source that is delivered to "regular" browsers and what WPTouch sends, I can see that WPTouch removes the controls, and adds custom CSS that is causing the problem.
Any ideas when this will be fixed?

Another question type for a game/quiz-style app that I'm making. Given a note and a fret, you have to name the string (there is a choice of four answers below). Whereas I've used 12 lines on the right to represent the fretboard, I've tried to represent a note by using a musical staff.
I've turned on the guides to show how I've positioned the boxes on the page. The ratio's used are 2:3 in relation to the iPhone's resolution.

We have a machine, Windows 7 (64-bit) with ASUS motherboard, in our building that only sometimes seems to go to sleep, but won't wake up. The machine is still running but shaking the mouse or hitting keys on the keyboard won't wake it up.
I have tried for days to isolate the problem, but every time we get to a "let's try this" scenario, it happens again, later.
All power options related to display being off are set to never, except the simple, "turn display off after..." setting. That is, the hard drive is set to never turn off, and the computer is set to never sleep nor hibernate.
All drivers seem to be up to date, but I am afraid I will hose the machine if I do a BIOS update (plus I figured that will probably have nothing to do with the issue and only make something else break).
Wasn't sure if there was something obvious I was missing?

Northern Room reunites for Pablove gig at Turner Hall
Inside a converted theater in West Allis that is now the Epikos Church, Northern Room is rehearsing, and its dreamy, U2-indebted alt-rock sounds superb. This is only its second time playing together since 2008, and a benefit this Saturday at Turner Hall Ballroom for the Pablove Foundation - a nonprofit co-founded by Milwaukee native Jeff Castelaz that raises money for pediatric cancer research - is its only planned show.

Hey guys,
Seems like I've got a big, jumbled up mess here.
First things first: my WordPress install is on a AWS EC2 instance. The domain name is being routed to Route53 using NS records (although my nameservers are still pointing to my registrar).
I've got an A name record pointing to the EC2 instance IP address.
The website works all fine at domain.com (no "www").
I enabled and configured MU according to the codex with subdomains enabled and some issues happened immediately. First, domain.com resolves find, but clicking on any link produces a "could not connect" error at "http://127.0.0.1/sample-page".
domain.com/wp-admin produces {"http://domain.com/wp-signup.php?new=IP". The "IP" is literally the EC2 IP address where the instance is running.
I've tried many a few things already, including:
1) 301 redirects
2) disallowing users from creating sites in wp-config
3) using AWS elastic IPs
4) not routing my domain through Route53
It seems to me that this is a EC2/WordPress MU compatibly issue.
Specific searches for AWS/EC2/WP MU issues turn up nothing on Google or the WP forums.
Has anyone experienced this issue before, or any suspicious on what I can try to fix this?

Examination No. 1
My experience with cancer has come mainly from my father, who is an oncologist. Examination No. 1 shows the face he shares with his patients, amid the cold, sterile technology of their treatment.
One of my strongest childhood memories was at age 5, when I was taken to the hospital to see my grandfather, who was dying of lung cancer. Over the years, I've thought about what must have been racing through my father's mind as he treated his father.
In Examination, the woman is the viewer of her own body -- a self-examination. The posture taken during a breast exam is strikingly similar to the classical poses of 18th and 19th century French painting.

Chiara Ferragni launched her blog, 'The Blonde Salad,' in 2009 whilst attending Milan's Bocconi University for a degree in law.
The blog's title is indicative of the 'mixed salad' of interests it features, including travel, beauty and food. However, Ferragni's success in the fashion world has seen it evolve primarily into a fashion blog, charting what she wears, her inspirations, and her numerous collaborations with an impressive roster of design houses, including Dior, Ermenegildo Zegna , Bennetton and Mango.
Ferragani has also collaborated with Louis Vuitton on a series of video posts, documenting her travels throughout the world, and her use of Vuitton products. 'The Blonde Salad' has been featured in Teen Vogue, New York Magazine and on Vogue.com. Ferregani has launched a shoe line with innovative retailer Luisa Via Roma , bearing Picasso-inspired eye illustrations and Warhollian lips and lipsticks; she stars in the campaign herself.

I want to traverse all nodes with "all" outgoing relationships. But all examples I can find use the direction only in combination with the relationship type.
"relationships" : [ {
"direction" : "all",
"type" : "knows"
}, {
"direction" : "all",
"type" : "loves"
} ]
I still tried to use
"relationships" : "out" but I get an error 500 "cannot cast String to Map".
Only giving an array with a direction doesn't work and throws an error 500 "type cannot be null".
Is it possible to don't specify all types of relations with direction "out"?

Clavis Falls After Ending Development of Cancer Drug
Clavis Pharma ASA fell the most in six years after the Norwegian company ended development of an experimental treatment for pancreatic cancer. Partner Clovis Oncology Inc. plunged as much as 42 percent.
Clavis plunged 88 percent to close at 8 kroner, the largest drop since its initial public offering in July 2006, cutting the company's market value to 270 million kroner ($47 million). Clovis declined 35 percent to $13.93 at 11:31 a.m. New York time, after falling to $12.45 in its biggest intraday drop since the shares began trading in November 2011.
The LEAP trial, run by Boulder, Colorado-based Clovis, showed that there was no difference in overall survival between patients taking the drug known as CP-4126 when compared against those taking chemotherapy medicine gemcitabine. All development work with CP-4126 across all indications is now suspended, Clavis said.
The results "are surprising and disappointing given the evidence we have seen from previous studies reported in the literature," Chief Executive Officer Olav Helleboe said in a statement. "Meanwhile, we continue to believe in the potential of elacytarabine, our lead product, to become an effective new treatment option for acute myeloid leukemia."
Results from the late-stage "Clavela" trial on elacytarabine will be released in the first quarter of next year, Clavis said.
"So far, the company's technology has not delivered," said Carsten Loenborg Madsen, an analyst at Carnegie Investment Bank in Copenhagen. "Metastatic pancreatic cancer has always been one of the most difficult cancers to treat. We will have to wait and see the results from the Clavela trial."

The 47-year-old mother who drowned near Mahia last weekend
attempting to save her son has been named as Suzanne Faye
Sergeant Aubrey Ormond of Wairoa police said the Mahia woman
died in "rough" sea conditions at Blue Bay near the small
town of Opoutama.
Hawke's Bay Today first reported Sunday afternoon's drowning
after the woman's "motherly instincts" forced her into the
waves to save her son and another boy distressed in the surf.
Australian surfer Ross Shields, 63, attempted to save Ms
Rowse while his wife Fiona tried to resuscitate her on the
beach before emergency services arrived.
The two boys were unharmed.
A vigil dedicated to Ms Rowse and her family was held at
Nuhaka School, where Ms Rowse's son attends, on Monday.
The funeral service for the mother of two will be held today
in Opoutama. The death has been referred to the coroner.
Meanwhile, police are interviewing the survivors of
Saturday's high-speed crash just outside Dannevirke in which
a Waipukurau man was killed.
Daniel Troy Leslie, 31, was killed after the car in which he
was a passenger struck a power pole on the corner of State
Highway 2 and Makirikiri Rd.
Detective Sergeant Shane Brown, of the Tararua CIB, said
investigations were continuing.
"We are in the process of interviewing the man and woman who
were in the vehicle. We are also awaiting forensic test
results and the Serious Crash Unit report - both of which
will take some time to complete and then review before we can
lay any charges."
The two survivors were taken to Palmerston North Hospital
following the accident. The female passenger has been
discharged while the driver remains in a stable condition.

One slogan changes everything
One Game Changes Everything. That's the World Cup slogan.
Of course, it doesn't really make sense. One game doesn't change everything. The World Cup is not a single-elimination tournament. The slogan would actually work better for the BCS.
But who am I to criticize a slogan that was no doubt conceived by an elite advertising firm and focus-grouped for months? No one, that's who. And in a way, I guess one game does change everything. It's like the butterfly effect. A flap of a butterfly's wings can result in a hurricane. Or, inversely, the World Cup's slogan can result in the premise of a World Cup preview column.
So here are some World Cup stories to keep an eye on. Be advised: All of these may change everything. (Da-duh-DUMMMMMM.)
One Broken Arm Changes Everything
Didier Drogba, the star striker for the Ivory Coast, broke his arm in a friendly against Japan on June 4. It's still not clear whether he will be able to play in the World Cup. Ridiculous. Wrap that thing in a big cast, switch him back to sweeper and have him lay some people out with punishing clotheslines, pro wrestler style. Zinedine Zidane's head-butt was the story of the 2006 World Cup. We're not going to top that in 2010 without making a real effort, people!
One Bad Draw Changes Everything
Host country South Africa hoped to earn an easy group draw. They got Mexico, Uruguay and France. Ugh. Well, there is a silver lining: There is absolutely no way South Africa will win the World Cup. And that means there's no way anyone will be asked to sit through "Invictus 2: Now It's Soccer!"
One Legitimate Opponent Changes Everything
The worst team in the World Cup? Probably New Zealand. The All Whites made it to South Africa by beating Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Bahrain. I think two or three of those might be bands. Now they're in a stacked group with Italy, Paraguay and Slovakia. Ha-ha! They're going to get crushed. Let's all point and laugh at the New Zealand team. Whoops! We accidentally pointed and laughed at their powerhouse rugby team. RUN AWAY!
One Dictator Changes Everything
People across the world are excited for the World Cup. Except in North Korea. Because in North Korea, per Kim Jong Il's orders, the home team's games will be aired only if it wins. Fun Fact: North Korea is in a group with Brazil, Portugal and the Ivory Coast. Fun Fact No. 2: North Korea's matches will not be aired. But cheer up, North Koreans! I'm sure you'll still get plenty of good sports news in the coming weeks. June is prime golf weather and chances are Mr. Kim will put up another 38-under round very soon!
One Underage Call Girl Changes Everything
French star Franck Ribery -- along with three other French players -- was implicated in an underage prostitution ring in April. He admitted having a relationship with a prostitute (prostitution is legal in France; no, really), but said he was unaware she was underage. Ribery will play in the World Cup and it is not yet known if he will be charged. It is known, however, that a Roger Goodell protégé is clearly not in charge of FIFA.
One Toilet Changes Everything
Argentina head coach Diego Maradona has had two high-tech toilets -- heated seats, bidets, blow-dryers -- installed in his personal suite in South Africa. Maradona clearly demands the greatest luxuries for his ... his ... his ... well, I'm not sure what word to use: (A) The word I want to use (it rhymes with "glass mole") is not allowed on a Disney-owned website, and (B) the same word also apparently means "poor, injured person" based on how Maradona used it last month when he ran over someone's leg with his car (read the third paragraph). Maybe Maradona just meant he wanted to take the injured man back to his suite so he could clean his injuries in his fancy toilet. He's a Good Samaritan. Yeah, that's probably it.
One Soccer Tebow Changes Everything
Brazil's Kaka is a legend in his sport. He's also an evangelical Christian. He has said that it is "faith that decides whether something will happen or not." And like the Bible verses on Tim Tebow's eye black, Kaka has sported the slogan "I Belong To Jesus" on his cleats. There's one more eerily similarity: Many scouts have said Kaka needs to drastically remake his throwing motion if he is to ever start at quarterback in the NFL. I mean, have you seen how he hurls the ball over his head with two hands? That might work in the spread offense, but not in the World Cup. Wait. I'm confused. I forgot which one I was talking about.
One Word Changes Everything
Spain is the odds-on favorite to win the World Cup. Of course, Spain is often a favorite and Spain always chokes. But the Spaniards should get off to a good start and gain some momentum in group play. Switzerland and Honduras aren't great. Spain's biggest threat is La Roja -- Chile. A very solid squad. But the Spanish team is known as La Furia Roja. And while I may not be a soccer expert, I think Spain should win out thanks to their clear advantage in the furia department.
One Swear Word Changes Everything
Brazilian referees will call Saturday's match between the U.S. and England. They are preparing for the game by learning English swear words. Really. Tournament guidelines say that players can be cautioned or sent off for obscene language or gestures, so the refs need to be prepared.
However, I hope they realize that American swear words and English swear words are very different. For example, in America we say ... well, you know what we say. But in England, words that mean nothing here -- like "prat" and "bollocks" -- are crude.
The Brazilian refs must be made aware of this fact. Therefore, I have put together a list of English curse words and phrases the refs should learn. Referees, if you hear any of these, throw the English player out IMMEDIATELY!
"great call"
"I respect your authority."
"I'm wide open!"
"Yay! We scored!"
"I love the music of the Spice Girls!"
Note: Feel free to eject American players, too, for saying the last one.
One Game Actually Doesn't Change Everything
Soooooo ... I guess I'm kind of killing the premise of the column here at the end, but for all the hype surrounding the opening match between the U.S. and England, it really doesn't mean that much. Yes, there's the whole rivalry between our nations. And if the U.S. happens to pull the upset, tens of millions of Americans will suddenly pretend to love soccer because, if for no other reason, it will allow them to make fun of England. Which is as good a reason as any. I will not begrudge anyone that.
But chances are that both the U.S. and England will advance out of Group C, win, lose or tie on Saturday, because the other members -- Algeria and Slovenia -- aren't too strong. So instead of pinning all your hopes on the U.S. to beat England, maybe instead start working on some Algeria and Slovenia jokes. So far I've got: "Hey, Algeria and Slovenia: Are you bummed that all of the good disease names like progeria, anemia and diphtheria were taken?" Yeah, that's terrible. But I have time. Group play doesn't end for a week.
And one week changes everything.

Koral Los Angeles
Rihanna in KORAL Cigarette Jeans in Resin Rinse
Rihanna was spotted heading to her car after a night out in New York. The singer kept it casual with a pair of the KORAL Cigarette Jeans in Resin Rinse with a BBC sweater and some Puma sneakers.
Rihanna has to be one of the most open people when it comes to fashion. We have seen her in just about every style imaginable when it comes to denim, so I always find it refreshing to see her wear a pair of clean dark blue jeans. There is always a sense of renewal somehow to the wash when I see her in them. What do you think of Rihanna in a clean pair of blues? You can click here to purchase KORAL from SHOPBOP.
Reese Witherspoon in Koral Skinny Jeans in 24 Months
Reese Witherspoon was all smiles with her former co-stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair at The Unauthorized Musical Parody Of Cruel Intentions in Los Angeles, California. At the event, the actress wore her Koral Skinny Jeans in 24 Months with a printed camisole and her favorite Isabel Marant jacket. This time she switched her shoes up with a pair of blue suede pumps.
I am really liking that Reese has been sticking with cropped styles at the moment. I find them to look amazing on her and they add height to her petite frame. Something that is very rare for someone as small as her. What do you think of cropped styles on Reese? Buy Koral jeans online at Shopbop.com.
Reese Witherspoon in Koral Skinny Jeans in 24 Months
Reese Witherspoon was spotted on her way out of her office in Beverly Hills, California. The actress wore her Koral Skinny Jeans in 24 Months with an Isabel Marant jacket and some espadrilles.
I really like the different shades of blue here in Reese's look. Although mostly dark, I still get a Summer sense to it, especially from finishing it off with the espadrilles. What do you think of her look here? You can click here to purchase KORAL from SHOPBOP.
Alessandra Ambroasio in KORAL Skinny Jeans in 8 Months Grey
Alessandra Ambrosio was spotted running some errands in Santa Monica, California. The model paired together the KORAL Skinny Jeans in 8 Months Grey with a white fringe jacket and some Saint Laurent boots. She then finished her look off with a fringed bucket bag that is also by Saint Laurent.
We haven't seen Alessandra in many other brands since she discovered RE/DONE. It is definitely a change now that I have gotten used to seeing her in slouchy skinny styles. I do like that she is in a pair of grey denim as we don't see the wash out too much and I think the many grey washes that are in the market at the moment are just as versatile as the classic blue or blacks. How many of you have been wearing more grey denim lately? You can click here to purchase KORAL from SHOPBOP.
