Scott Karp over at Publishing 2.0 last week claimed that, bluntly, the mobile Web sucks. Karp is a blogger for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect, but, on this topic, he's totally wrong.I'll grant that the mobile Web isn't perfect. Neither is the desktop Web, for that matter. I'll also concede that the mobile Web can be slow and that latency is still a big issue, even on 3G networks. But even if we concede all of this, the mobile Web still offers access to the entire Internet from almost any place at any time. If that's not cool, I don't know what is.
1. 3G Networks Are Fast And Getting Faster.
3G is here and thanks to the advance in network speeds, users can access content on their smartphones and other Web-enabled handsets from much of the world. While 3G still isn't as fast as desktop broadband, it's pretty good. And with mobile broadband services for laptops, like Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess, you can be amazingly productive on the road with broadband speeds that are close to DSL quality.
2. Public Wi-Fi Is Widely Available.
OK, Mr. Karp, I can understand why you're annoyed with many paid Wi-Fi hotspot services, like those from T-Mobile and AT&T. For the casual user, they're expensive (daily access can range from $7 to $10 a day, with most hotspots in the $10 a day range). And in Europe, they're insanely expensive. But if you subscribe to a monthly service for one provider, you can usually roam for a discounted rate on the Wi-Fi networks of the other providers (and in some cases, roaming can be free).
For many users, public hotspot services are often cheaper than 3G data plans -- especially from carriers like T-Mobile, which bundles Wi-Fi with its EDGE data plans. And if your travel is limited to major metro areas, it can be almost as ubiquitous as 3G. What major U.S. city doesn't have more Starbucks locations than air molecules?
3. Mobile Web Sites Are Easier To Read And Access Than They Used To Be.
I remember back in 2002 when accessing mobile Web sites on most smartphones was a truly painful experience. Load times were insane -- try accessing a mobile Web site that's not optimized for cell phones on a GPRS connection. It's pretty painful.
I do share Karp's criticism of surfing the Web on the iPhone. Who really wants to read a Web page that's designed for a 15-inch monitor on a device the size of a smartphone? But thanks to dotMobi and WAP, we don't have to deal with this problem. There are many Web sites optimized for mobile devices. This means the sites are easy to access on most cell phones and page load times are fast. On some mobile Web sites, blazingly fast.
4. Location, Location, Location.
If mobility has any advantage over the desktop Web, it's the potential of location-based services. Location has the promise to make existing applications such as push e-mail, social networking, and IM more powerful. Location will also lead to all kinds of cool, new applications we haven't even thought about, all made possible by the power of being mobile.
5. There Is Still Very Little Advertising On The Mobile Web.
This is a win-win for both consumers and advertisers. By using the Web on your cell phone, you can avoid all of the ads that gum up the desktop Web. Even search on Google is noticeably free of ads. Though, given Google's moves in this realm, don't expect this to last for much longer.
For advertisers, the third screen is a fresh, untapped resource of leads. Since mobile ads are still new, they can generate impressive results for marketers. Not that I am saying anyone should go out and start ruining my own mobile Web experience with tons of new ads.
Thanks to these advances, we know more people are using the mobile Web, including consumers in the United States. And as the networks and the devices continue to improve, and new features like location are embedded in more mobile applications, more people will continue to use the mobile Web.
For much of the developing world, the mobile Web will likely be the only Web billions of people ever access. Put simply, mobile, not the desktop, is the global future of the Web.

Suspect arrested in homicide in Yankton
YANKTON (AP) — Authorities have arrested a suspect in a homicide investigation in Yankton.
Police on Friday morning announced a search for 28-year-old Joshua Hudson, who they said should be considered armed and dangerous and was believed to be in the Sioux City, Iowa, area, where he has relatives.
Yankton Police Chief Brian Paulsen issued a statement a short time later saying Hudson was in custody.
Paulsen gave no details about the arrest, or about the killing that happened about 7:30 a.m. Friday. The victim's identity has not been released.

Limit theorems for the negative parts of weighted multivariate empirical processes with application
Necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence and strong (functional) limit theorems for the negative parts of weighted multivariate empirical processes are obtained. These results are considerably different from those for the positive parts (or absolute values) of these processes. Moreover, a short proof of Kiefer's (1961, Pacific J. Math. 11, 649-660) exponential inequality for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic of the multivariate empirical process is presented. Also an application of one of the main results to strong limit theorems for the ratio of the true to the empirical distribution function is included.

About Us
Going back to her origins in Tomb Raider
posted: 12/6/2010 8:39:00 AM
More On:
Tomb Raider
Square announced today that a new
Tomb Raider
is coming out but it's not going to continue Lara Croft's saga. Instead, we're going to experience her origin story as you go on an adventure that defines her.
So does this mean we're going to have a very pedestrian Lara Croft in terms of abilities? Lara can do many flips, jumps, and is an expert marksman so I wonder how Crystal Dynamics is going to incorporate the early days of Lara and still make it fun.
A New Game from Crystal Dynamics
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Square Enix, Inc., is excited today to announce TOMB RAIDER®, the new game from Redwood City based studio Crystal Dynamics®.
'After a brutal storm destroys the boat she was travelling on, a frightened young woman is left washed ashore on an unknown beach. On her own but not alone she has only one goal, to survive'
Here begins the first adventure for a young and inexperienced Lara Croft in a story which charts the journey of an ordinary woman who finds out just how far she must go in order to stay alive.
"Forget everything you knew about TOMB RAIDER," said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Studio, Crystal Dynamics. "This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other."
TOMB RAIDER makes its worldwide debut in the January issue of Game Informer® magazine. The cover story features 10 pages of exclusive content and is available beginning today for subscribers and on newsstands December 11. Follow Game Informer on Twitter @GameInformer.

AIBU to feel frustrated? Attempted theft of bikes incident, police not interested.(130 Posts)
DH and DD(7) went for a cycle yesterday along a cycle track that runs all the way into our local city centre. It's safe (or so we thought), runs alongside a river for a few miles so is a pretty run and passes a lovely coffee shop half way through. Perfect for my eager DD cyclist.
3 miles into the run, my DH and DD were surrounded by a gang of youngsters who tried to intimidate them into surrendering their bikes. There was glass spread across the whole track and DH slowed to a halt to lift the bikes over and it was then that these kids appeared from behind pillars of a bridge. DH said that he counted approx 12 of them, ranging from about 6 years of age to 14 years of age. DH had picked up both bikes at the same time and told DD to stay close and walked the 3 metres or so over the glass. One of the older lads barged into DH but he kept walking, but all the while starting to feel real anxiety because DD was with him.
He urged her to get on her bike and gave her a shove to start her off quickly but heard some of the kids say "push her off, get the bike". He gave them an earful but they laughed at him, told him to "f*ck off" and that they all had "iron bars to batter him with". Some lads had started to jog after my DD so he flew after her but they all started chasing and throwing stones. One stone caught DD at the back of the head, thumped off her helmet and another stone caught her on her bottom. Big enough to leave a bruise.
They did get away, Thank God, but are really shaken by the whole ordeal. DD who by no means is an easy crier, sobbing and white as a sheet. DH telephoned the local police at the coffee shop, police arrived but told DH that the kids were most likely from the gypsie site nearby and were more or less above the law. They admitted that they wouldn't be following it up because it was known amongst the police that gypsie's would find out where they lived, and make their lives a nightmare. DH pointed out that there was glass most likely placed across the path to stop cyclists, and the police officer said that they'd get it swept up, but other than that, no further action would be taken.
I'm so angry about this. My gut instinct was to try and go down to the site and appeal to the Mums of these kids, but DH thinks I'm nuts. I'm not going to, but I'm appalled that these kids are getting away with it. At it's best, the whole situation has really shaken DD up, but at its worst, it could have been terrible. DH is 6ft 5' and the kids had a tough enough pack mentality to take him on.
What can I do, apart from avoid this track like the plague?
Primrose, you're right. That walk is beautiful and runs along the canal bank for a few miles, doesn't it? Have you walked further down to the next two villages? Again, right alongside the canal bank, and get's even prettier. You have no worries this side of the walk. It's the route that continues a few miles beyond that where this happened. Closer to Morriston, and closer to where it runs past the river bank and the A4067.
You shouldn't be concerned on the walk where you were - it's beautiful and gets more walker/cyclist/runner traffic. I jog alongside that canal bank stretch sometimes and have no worries there.
OP can you tell us exactly where it happened? We were on this cycle track a few days ago. We walked from Ystalafera to Pontardawe. We passed lots of people on the track and commented on how friendly they all were. I don't feel like going back now.
It is horrible, but unfortunately very very true. Police never want to get involved in this kind of situation. Ridiculous I know!!
amessage In the 18 years my whole community has suffered from the illegal actions of the travellers, we have all got out plenty thank you.
Why do you seem to have a problem accepting that communities get pissed off when descended upon by people clearly breaking the law?
Ok fair enough, sorry. Only for a year and a half though, according to WIki so I think people will need some time to realise. I certainly didn't know and I know quite a few travellers socially. I often refer to them as Traveller friends (in the same way that I'd say London friends or uni friends) but I would never dream of saying black friends etc. So I'll have to stop doing that.
Ignorance not racism then, I suggest. I doubt it's all that well known.
perhaps you need to get out more@worra
Yes, travellers ARE classified legally as an ethnic minority in the UK.
Look it up.
Plomino - sorry, only now seeing your post.
I've urged DH to call into see the Duty Inspector on his way home from his job today (he's close by the Central Station working today). I was sorely tempted but since I wasn't there, and DH was, I thought it appropriate for him to call and leave a statement. I imagine if I were to call, they'd only want to speak to DH since he's the only adult witness that was with DD. He really, really doesn't want to push any complaint towards the police officers involved but I feel really strongly that this shouldn't be left.
I've had a couple of emails off this thread urging me to be cautious. I must admit that I'm slightly worried
I have worked extensively with members of the Travelling community. It is a minority of the community that behave in this criminal manner. The majority are just normal people, living their lives.
Right well then it's a minority that we've had arriving here, around 8 times per year for the last 18 years.
And that minority regularly break the law when they arrive here and camp in our park and graveyards.
I've never had the pleasure of meeting the law abiding majority during those 18 years.
Oh, lovely. Yet another thread in which people make bigoted judgments about an entire community.
At least the thread title was edited. I suppose that's something. But I doubt it will stop the bigotry.
The police officers assumed these children belong to a particular group. They don't know that. If they are truly unwilling to investigate this incident, I would certainly take some of the steps suggested by others on this thread. The police should investigate. But neither they nor anyone else should use this incident to make sweeping statements about an entire community. FFS.
Yoni - I'm not sure your explanation as to why 'a traveller' is an offensive term works well tbh. Travellers are not an ethnicity, in the same way as Black or Jewish people are (I don't think? If they are then I apologise). So your analogy here:
*What Dahlen said. Its not using the word 'trVekkers' to descrbe a community that is offensive...it is saying. 'a traveller threw a rock at me' etc.
A black threw a rock at me
A Jew threw a rock at me
Can you not see?*
doesn't work. Saying 'a traveller' threw a rock at me is more like saying:
A Londoner threw a rock at me
A Northerner threw a rock at me
Which is still a stereotype I suppose but it's not as bad. I think it's unfair to imply that people are being racist by using the term 'a traveller'.
Your analogy would work perfectly for 'a gypsy' - which is why most decent people wouldn't say it and would substitute 'a traveller' instead.
How do you know someone is a traveller just from meeting them?? I've come across a few women in my line of work, and most of the time I can't tell unless I know her address or I have to meet the family (then its obvious as it is literally a clan of relatives who will come for a chat). They are just people and I agree they are being lumped together unfairly. I also agree with what a pp said about it being safer for her to go to a camp instead of men- I seem to get the impression that the traveller community have a grudge to bear against the white middle class community and they are more likely to be difficult or argumentative when dealing with someone like that compared to someone like me (female and ethnic minority). Anyway I'm sorry op that your dd encountered this group of antisocial lads and I'm glad she's ok. But I don't think the fact they are travellers has much to do with it- I've encountered groups of antisocial black, white lads and Asian lads before.
Hex , did you say you were going to speak again to the police ? It really might be worth your while . If not the Duty Officer , try the Safer Neighbourhoods inspector . What have you to lose ? Although its entirely true that police officers do get followed home ( happened to several of my colleagues , and I got told once that my registration number had been found on a list of officers personal vehicle registrations found during the course of an investigation) this really shouldn't make any difference as to why an offence should go uninvestigated . Did they actually take all your details for a crime report ? If they did , then ring the crime management unit and find out what's going on .
We do have a fair amount of issues with SOME people from the travelling community . They use each other's names , addresses , driving licences ( if they have them) . Some of them are exceptionally abusive and violent . Exactly the same as SOME members of the rest of society . But there are also a large number of people within the community who are law abiding , actually pay taxes , and have a very keen sense of right and wrong . Including some members of my own family , and their neighbours , who ran my cousins husband off the site when he beat my cousin black and blue . And then called police .
I think it's helpful that the thread title has now been edited and I think the OP has stated repeatedly that she didn't mean any offence - plus, as has been pointed out, her own description of event refers only to 'kids'; it's the police who introduce the notion of them being travellers. The key issue here is that they're behaving anti-socially and that shouldn't just be ignored by the police, and that applies regardless of their ethnic status. Any gang of youngsters behaving this way need a talking to at the very least. So I think OP is right to pursue the inadequate police response. That doesn't necessitate a load of criticism of travellers in general.
Good idea to send your email.
Fwiw I have an ex who was a bit of a dishonest type his friends and him would often do things like scrap stealing ect but they would talk loudly using accents and words attributed to travellers and make out they were.
This is despite the fact that not one of them has any Roma ( or any other type) in their families the closest my ex got to having travelling relatives was a great granddad who travelled a bit because he was in the Air Force.
Hi all,
Many thanks for the reports about this thread.
We will be editing the thread title at the OP's request to stop it looking like a deliberately inflammatory title, as this was not the intention.
We have no problem with this thread but we would like to remind you of our Talk guidelines and, specifically, that we will delete any hatefully negative generalisations about travellers (or any other distinct racial or cultural group).
Please do continue to report.
What a disgrace, the police cannot or will not do anything. if it were my dd i would not let this matter rest.
Well, if we're dealing in anecdotes - it was a member of the travelling community who came to the aid of my dad and me when I ran the car in to a fence.
So obviously I think that all travelling people are lovely.
Or would that be just as daft as thinking that all travelling people are dirty and criminal?
(not you, OP)
Basically the kids are too young to touch, and unfortunately not much can be done.
OP, well done for being reasonable and open to opinions.
I do hope the police will look in to this for you. It isnt acceptable, and your children must have been terrified.
Posted too soon, have reported my title to MN.
I've taken everything on board that you've all said.
Thank you.
The proper term depends on which group we're talking about - are we talking Roma, Sinte, Calo, Calon, Irish Travellers, Scottish Travellers, Romanichal...
The word "gypsy" is a slur that is being reclaimed by some but does not and has never originated from any of the groups above. It was a label given by others to denote foreignness (rooted in the word Egyptian). It's a word and label that has been used to enslave and eradicate several groups' humanity and used as a term to promote genocide. It really shouldn't be used by people outside of these groups trying to reclaim it and its official and media usage is still being protested. Some are trying to reclaim it with pride though most working within and with other communities these days will specify which group (as I listed above) as part of action to help create more human and less homogeneous picture and to stop people within the groups having to use what to many is a painful term because using their actual term is met with a lot of . I have a Roma friend who is an academic (yes, one with a proper job, who pays plenty of tax, and is very nice) and the label issue is a problematic, getting recognition and respect almost impossible (even with a practically perfect record, she has many within the academic circles who think a "woman like her" isn't suitable for working).
Putting several groups with slight similarities together, and reducing their humanity and othering them to 'they' do this and 'they' do that is always going to be rooted in bigotry, as is the assumption that if something goes wrong it has to be them because they live close. We've had issues of local kids caught doing something claiming to be from an Irish traveller site to get out of trouble because of these stereotypes that they are above the law, and thankfully have been pulled up on it.
OP - if the police are not taking what happened seriously, go higher up, regardless of who they are or who the police think they are.
Travellers, sorry
What Dahlen said. Its not using the word 'trVekkers' to descrbe a community that is offensive...it is saying. 'a traveller threw a rock at me' etc.
A black threw a rock at me
A Jew threw a rock at me
Can you not see?
I have worked extensively with members of the Travelling community. It is a minority of the community that behave in this criminal manner. The majority are just normal people, living their lives.
Prejudice is incredibly ugly and ignorant, no matter who it is levelled at.

Preliminary hearing set for Tigers minor league pitcher
DETROIT (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A preliminary hearing has been set for Detroit Tigers Minor League Pitcher Evan Reed on a sexual assault charge.
He's set to appear in a Detroit courtroom Thursday. A judge will decide if there is enough evidence to send him to trial.

Prosecutors say the alleged victim was incapacitated after drinking and unable to give consent.
Reed has entered a not guilty plea and calls the allegations absurd.

Is Senate Bill 619 a piece of placeholder legislation -- a bill introduced to meet deadlines but which will eventually be gutted and amended for something completely unrelated? It sure seems like a good candidate for one.
Yet, if that's the intent, why did its author, state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, call attention to it by sending out a press release last week?
I've been puzzling over that release since it crossed my email inbox because the "solution" it proposes probably won't solve the "problem" it claims exists.
Let me back up and introduce the topic as Yee did, with the headline: "New Voting Data Shows Need for Civics Learning Bill."
According to Yee, a study by Political Data Inc. "shows that voters born in the state are less likely to vote in California elections than voters born in any other state."
"PDI's data shows only 73 percent of California-born voters cast a ballot in the November 2012 election. The only voters who had a lower turnout were citizens born in American Samoa, Guam or outside of the United States," the release continued. "In contrast, California voters born in 30 other states -- including New York, Iowa, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Pennsylvania -- had a turnout over 80 percent."
Personally, I have some questions about the premise itself. Another organization, Nonprofit Vote, recently completed its report about the 2012 election and claims that only 55.9 percent of eligible Californians voted. Compared to that, a 73 percent turnout rate seems pretty good.
But let's say PDI's stats are correct, that California-born voters show up at the polls less often than those born in other states. And let's say that this is something the state of California wishes to correct.
What's Sen. Yee's solution? To require the department of education to put together an online civics class -- for new state government employees.
"The orientation would provide a basic understanding of the responsibilities and operation of the three branches of government and the importance of civic engagement," his press release states.
Because state employees don't have enough to do covering for everyone who's been laid off or furloughed?
The logic, according to Yee, is that "there are 22.2 million people working for government throughout the United States, (yet) only a third of Americans are able to name the three branches of government." Also, he says, the Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement National Task Force ranks the United States 39th out of 172 world democracies in voter participation.
Nowhere, however, does Sen. Yee show that state employees are unengaged or ignorant about how government works. And given the educational requirements most state jobs entail -- not to mention the vested interest of state employees -- I'd wager that state workers already have better-than-average voter turnout.
If Yee wants more civics education, though, here's a thought: Bring down the high school dropout rate. The 14 percent of California kids who leave before graduation likely aren't even getting a government class.

How Do I Make A Fondant Loop Bow For 8" Cake
Decorating By Kread Updated 21 Nov 2010 , 5:46pm by DeezTreatz
I'm new to fondant, and I've seen a lot of bow tutorials for a 6" cake topper. My cake is 8" round. I don't want the bow to look too small on top. Can you tell me what size to cut my fondant strips to form the appropriately sized bow?
i'm making one also and the instructions i found said to cut strips approximately 9"x1.5". I havent actually put it on the cake yet so i'm not sure how it will look. I hope that helps.
Whatever looks right. You might start out cutting a couple of 8" x 1" or 1 1/2" strips and doing a couple of test loops with them. Lay them out opposite each other on an upside-down 8" pan, and you'll get an idea of what the diameter will be if you continue with strips that size.
Loopy bows are pretty free-form. There's no right or wrong size - just whatever looks right to you. I think I cut my loops in gradually smaller sizes on the loopy bow I did, but I probably started out with 8" strips on the bottom layer.
Just play with it a little! HTH!
Thanks! 8" sounds like a good start!
For my 8" cakes - I do my loop bows: 5" x 1"
I just made one yesterday - u can check it out for size in my photos - It's teal!
Is it the zebra cake? Love it!! Thanks for the advice! How many loops do you make? Do you let them dry completely? Assemble on wax paper or on cake? Royal icing or candy melts for glue? Do you pinch the ends or cut them to a point? Thanks
My zebra cake? <looking around> (Because Deez Treatz has a zebra cake with a bow, too...) If it's mine you're talking about, I'm really sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I didn't get notification of response to the thread.
I probably made 18-20 or so loops. Actually, I probably made even more to allow for breakage, because I know I had some leftovers. 8 on the bottom, then 5-6 in the middle layer, then 3-4 or so sticking up in the center.
I cut the strips, formed the loops over a new broom handle that I had hung over two shelves in my pantry and wrapped completely in waxed paper, and sealed the ends together flat with a little water. I let them dry that way for maybe 2 days. I only needed to trim a few to a point so they would fit as I assembled. I think I used a ball of fondant to stick the ends of the bow into, but I imagine royal icing or candy melts would work, too.
I assembled it on waxed paper that you can actually see in the photo, then placed it on the cake later. The waxed paper is there because I wanted a pic of the cake completed, but I had to transport it (and I didn't want it to travel with the bow on top...)
If you're not traveling anywhere, you could always assemble it on the cake, though.
Sherri, sorry, I was talking to deez, but just figured out how to view your cakes, and that bow on the zebra cake is beautiful!! So I just set a ball of fondant down, then push the loops onto it? Won't they break? It seams like there are soany ways to do it! Sorry for all the questions!! I'm so nervous
Is it the zebra cake? Love it!! Thanks for the advice! How many loops do you make? Do you let them dry completely? Assemble on wax paper or on cake? Royal icing or candy melts for glue? Do you pinch the ends or cut them to a point? Thanks
Hey! I did the same size and amount of loops on the Zebra Cake too!
The first pic that comes up in my album is the same size of bow on 8" cake too.
-I make 14 loops (Half fondant/Half gumpaste)
-I cut them with the wilton ribbon cutter.
-I take the loop fold in half - brush on some glue, cut a point and place on my plate with wax paper, loop down to dry overnight.
-Another option is to put a strong toothpick inbetween your loop so you can just stick it in your cake.
To assemble:
-I roll and cut out 3 flat circles (about half an icnch, toonie size(lol) and a penny size) of fondant/gumpaste (mixed) for each layer of bows I glue together.
-One on the bottom - brush on glue - stick 6 loops.
-Second round piece on top of the 6 loops - brush on glue - stick 5 loops.
-3rd small piece on top of the 5 loops - brush on glue - add 3 loops.
-I always brush on glue in between loops to make it stick better.
I let it dry it again over night. (It usually takes a few days for me)
6 on the bottom layer, then 5, then 3 loops on the top.
I used gumpaste and water(glue) for my glue. (Just take little pieces of gumpaste and add them to a bit of water)
Try royal icing for your glue if you can - mine always takes so long to dry - maybe it's the glue that I use?
Good luck!!!

Taylor Kitsch no time for romance
Taylor Kitsch "didn't have time" to hit on any "beautiful" British girls while he was working in the UK.
The Canadian-born hunk filmed sequences for his new science-fiction action film John Carter in London. Despite finding the native women very attractive, the actor's attempts at romance were unsuccessful because of his hectic schedule.
"British girls are beautiful. I love the accent. No [I don't have my eye on anyone in particular]. I was working so much. Six day weeks for four months, you don't have time!" he exclaimed to Cover Media at the UK premiere of John Carter.
Taylor loves England. The 30-year-old starred alongside British actors including Dominic West and Samantha Morton in the movie, and was intrigued by their way of working.
"I've been here five hours, so it's been amazing. I love coming up here, man. I get treated so well, and the cast is like 90 per cent Brits, so I've learnt a lot from these guys," he said. "It's a good time.
"We shot so much of the film here right, so I've definitely lived her for four plus months and I'm going to be back a couple more times with some other films as well."
Taylor admitted to missing something about being in America though.
"We're pretty spoilt with food. We have some good food," he smiled.
Taylor worked with director Andrew Stanton on his first live-action film. The star was thrilled to collaborate with the award-winning filmmaker on the project.
"I didn't have one heartbeat where I questioned the guy. I've never met anyone who has prepped as much as he has in my life, with anything. And I think with that, it eliminates doubt and enhances trust," he explained.
Taylor is also starring in upcoming Peter Berg's Battleship, alongside Liam Neeson and Rihanna. He gushed about working with the action veteran.
"Liam is amazing," he said.
John Carter is released in the UK on Friday March 9.

Sant Gervasi is one of the largest neighbourhoods in Barcelona's Zona Alta. Stretching from Paseo de Gracia until Calle Ganduxer, along Avenida Diagonal, and above to Putxet, Sant Gervasi also includes Turó Park, one of Barcelona's most sought-after and exclusive areas.
Covering much of Barcelona's Zona Alta, Sant Gervasi has some of the best restaurants, nightlife and shopping in Barcelona, especially along Avenida Diagonal towards Francesc Macià and around Turó Park, where some of the world's most fashionable brands (including Hermes and Dior) vie for prime retail space.
Apartments tend to be larger, and many have service quarters with a maid's room and separate service entrance and lift. Original features in properties in Sant Gervasi are harder to come by, and some apartments require modernisation. Some apartments also have underground parking in the same or a nearby building. The close proximity to many of the best international schools and English speaking schools of Barcelona makes Sant Gervasi an extremely popular area for international families looking to relocate to Barcelona.
There are several metro stops in the Sant Gervasi area and there are lots of bus lines in operation. By road there are easy connections to the city ring roads and to the international airport.

Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.
As many of you know, Portland, Oregon (well, Multnomah county, but it makes no difference if you don't live here) recently started handing out marriage licenses to same sex couples. As I've been an ordained minister with The Universal Life Church for fourteen years and have legally performed weddings in the past, I felt I could help out. I performed seven weddings today. I'm very tired and I think I'm going to bed now.
I will admit that it's a bit of an odd situation. "Legal" marriage in this country has nothing to do with religion (in theory), so the idea that only certain government workers and religious ministers can fill out the paperwork (the ceremony is superfluous from a legal standpoint) is a tad odd. It is, essentially, a contract. Boeing doesn't need a Reverend officiating over their contract signing with their union, though I confess that it would possibly make things more amusing
About the odd situation of law and marriage- a different perspective is found among the Quakers. We've [quaker.org] been marrying people without ministers for 300-odd years- because as a faith, we don't have ministers. (Or, more accurately, we don't have laity.) One of the community responsibilities is marrying people. Everybody at

These people have no respect for the rule of law. Civil disobedience has it's place, but only when every other mechanism has been tried. This issue is currently being decided in the courts and legislatures nationwide and now is not the time to disregard the law.

Same-sex couples want equal rights (equal rites?)
What about singles? What about celibates? Why should what I do or do not do with my naughty bits have anything to do with my legal status?
Because many of these special rights have no meaning outside of the context of more than one person [perl.org]. Joint health insurance, wrongful death benefits for a surviving partner, domestic violence protection orders and many other special rights are granted free of charge once you get that piece of paper signed.
Those, and many other rights make no sense in the context of a single person. It's like asking "what color is Wednesday?" (Assuming you're not flying high on acid). Either end discrimination in who
Ahh, so because I was born single, I don't deserve to be able to identify another person who should share health insurance with me, who should receive benefits if I die accidentally, or who can make medical decisions for me?
OK, I see what you're asking now. I didn't before. Sorry about that.
Because of the way the law works, if I get married, I automatically have those rights conferred on my spouse. If I am not married and I want to have those rights, I frequently have to hire a lawyer, assign power of attorney, make a will, etc. This is not only expensive, but it's more easily challenged in court by relatives or other interested parties who might not approve of my decisions. I think this falls back to my feeling that th

Was what you did illegal?
After a fair amount of research, I have to conclude that it was. Regardless of the ambiguous wording of Oregon law, the intent of the law was fairly clear and legal decisions are often based on intent, even if the law is worded as poorly as ours.
As for the "children" argument, I don't by them. Yes, maybe the Catholic (amongst others) Church dictates that marriage is for procreation, many churches do not and many people do not. While there are plenty of federal and state law
Agreed with the latter, though I can't see how you would think the intent of the law from the 1800s would be to allow homosexuals to marry.
That's only because I wasn't terribly clear. I think the intent was to define marriage as between one man and one woman and that the legislators simply worded the law poorly. Sorry for the confusion.

LONDON (Dec. 19)
"The general question of migration from Germany was discussed unofficially with Dr. Hjalmar Schacht during his recent visit to London," Foreign Undersecretary Richard A. Butler told the House of Commons today. "It was not intended or expected," he went on, "that any decision would be reached during. The visit. The external debt of Germany was not mentioned. I am confident that such a visit conduced the promotion of good understanding between the two countries."
Again stressing the urgency of international cooperation for permanent settlement of refugees, the Times urged the British Government today not to delay assisting official surveys of settlement possibilities. Referring to the Schacht plan for emigration through increased German exports to the countries of immigration, the Times said there was no reason why the proposal, unacceptable as it might be now, should not be taken up by the German Government and Evian governments with the view of establishing a more practical measure of cooperation. "However," the editorial concluded, "world action cannot await German acquiescence to some practical course."
An emergency conference of Jewish relief organizations and synagogues decided to proclaim Jan. 29 as a day of public protest, meditation and self-denial for the persecuted German Jews. The meeting called on Jews to contribute the cost of a day's food for refugees.

In a post about having responsibility but no power in a new service task, Bardiac writes:
I've been asked to consider taking on a new responsibility here. It's a responsibility that comes with a lot of responsibility, and relatively little power, though it's very important that the job be done well and ethically. It involves working with folks who have tenure, organizing them to get certain tasks done.
. . . . . .
So, as a responsible person with relatively little power (I can't fire these folks, affect their pay, or withhold special treats/privileges), what do you do when someone says "no" to doing their share of a group job?
In general, it's a good policy to avoid assignments in which one would have all of the responsibility, but little or no authority. I have taken on major service tasks in which the responsibility-to-authority ratio was a little more evenly balanced–for example, I served as Graduate Studies Chair, and I served on the program committee of a major conference. (These jobs also kicked my butt–that was the responsibility side!) But in both of those jobs–as on the search committees I've been on–I got relatively immediate gratification. We hired a fine new colleagues/admitted some promising new graduate students/or put together a great conference program–and so I got to see what all of my work added up to within a year or so–and then it was done.
We all know that service tasks undertaken by the faculty are hardly ever recognized or rewarded with respect to our annual salary exercises or with respect to tenure and promotion. And yet, someone's got to do the jobs in which the authority : responsibility ratio is all out of proportion. There are a few exceptions for which I'd consider breaking my general rule–such as, is the task one I think is important and whose goals I believe in, or one I might even enjoy? That would make the work easier to bear. But (for example) feeding the bureaucratic beast is not my priority.
Bardiac's commenters have a lot of good ideas: for example, it helps if you're someone who always pitches in, or if others are in your debt. Someone also suggested flattery. Finally, one commenter's brief (and I think humorous?) suggestion was simply: "I have two words for your consideration – Tonya Harding." (Does anyone under the age of 30 or so get that joke?)
What do you think? Which have been your service tasks from hell, and which have worked out okay, or even (to your surprise) have been enjoyable?

This weekend, the Wisconsin volleyball team will have its home opener at the UW Field House for the Inntowner Invitational.
The Badgers (5-1), who dropped to No. 14 in the AVCA Coaches Poll after a loss at the UNLV Invitational, will face Central Michigan on Friday night. On Saturday, they will play both IUPUI and No. 23 Brigham Young.
"You get to be in an atmosphere you are used to playing," junior outside hitter Katherine Dykstra said of playing at home. "It's your fans, and everybody is rooting for you. So it will definitely be a relief to be back home and play in our home stadium."
Central Michigan, who just won the Country Inn and Suites Championship in Chattanooga, Tenn., will be looking to upset the Badgers going into the first game of the tournament. The Chippewas are lead by senior middle blocker Whitney Evers, who is averaging 3.55 kills per game and a .465 hitting percentage.
"They will bring the heat because we have a big target on our backs," senior outside hitter Morgan Salow said. "I think they will challenge us to just play our game and stay on our level instead of working down to theirs."
On Saturday, the Badgers will have to play both IUPUI and Brigham Young. Last year, the Badgers lost to the Cougars on the road in five games. This year, Wisconsin will have to match up against BYU's stingy defense at home, which averages over 1.00 block per set. BYU is also the first ranked team the Badgers will play this year.
"It's great playing them at home, and I don't think there is any extra pressure," head coach Pete Waite said. "I think the kids get up for a team like that because they know they really have to play their best to get the win."
On the Wisconsin side of the net, the Badgers will be looking to get the ball to Dykstra, who is having one of the best seasons of her career. Against UNLV last weekend, she had a career-high 21 kills. She is also leading the team in that category, with an average of 3.43 kills per game and a .348 hitting percentage. Dykstra is also leading the team with .90 blocks per game.
Waite attributes her success to the fact she is not only getting really good sets but is also making do with sets that are not on target. Dykstra agrees she is hitting the ball a lot better than last year and connecting well with her setters.
"This is what we were waiting for, and she has been coming on and getting stronger each season," Waite said.
Also, look for the Badgers to continue mixing up their lineup this weekend. For the past two weekends, they have gone from a one-setter system on offense to using two. This allows Wisconsin to give teams different looks they may not have seen on their scouting reports or on tape.
This weekend the Badgers also have the chance to help Waite reach his 500th win of his career. Since the Madison-area native began coaching at Wisconsin nine years ago, the team is 228-67 and has made nine straight NCAA Tournament appearances. The furthest Waite's team has ever been in the tournament is the finals, where they lost to Nebraska.
"It would be awesome if we can get Pete [Waite] his 500th win," Dykstra said. "He has been a great coach, and he has been here for so long, I would love to be part of his 500th win. Hopefully we will be able to do it in front of a great home crowd."
Whether or not Waite does get his 500th victory this weekend, he will have familiar company in the audience. Becky Olson, Central Michigan's head coach Erik Olson's wife, played for Waite during his tenure at Northern Illinois University. Also, IUPUI head coach Steve Payne was an assistant under Waite at NIU.
"It means a lot," Salow said of Waite's accomplishments. "It shows how good of a coach he really is and how hard he has worked in his career. It shows he has brought a lot of good people in his program and worked on it really well."

WOOSTER -- Sub-zero temperatures may have forced the postponement of Monday night's Wooster High's girls basketball game against Barberton, but that hasn't cast a chill on the Generals' season nearing the midway point.
Saturday's 61-58 Ohio Cardinal Conference victory over Clear Fork -- one which took two overtimes to secure -- moved Wooster to 5-1 in the OCC. It was also the Generals' fifth consecutive win and made them 7-2 overall.
Looming Thursday is a visit from undefeated West Holmes (11-0, 6-0), the Div. II state power that hasn't lost an OCC game since Wooster pulled the upset two years ago. The two teams will meet again Feb. 8 in Millersburg, and it's a series Wooster head coach Mike Baus knows will provide the truest indicator of just how far the Generals have progressed.
"As crazy as it sounds, we're looking forward to playing them," said Baus, now in his fourth season at Wooster, with the Generals' record this season boosting his career mark to 58-19. "As a coach, you love these games, if you can compete with them, it does a lot for your program.
"Their program, all the way down through the grade schools, there's just a great attitude of young girls wanting to play basketball at the high school, wanting to be on that stage West Holmes usually finds itself on. We like the challenge."
The challenge for Wooster opponents has been dealing with seniors Gabby Cicolani and Sarah Cairnie, who have teamed to give the Generals one of the area's best inside-outside pairings.
Cicolani, a 5-foot-8 point guard, makes plays all over the court and her current numbers reflect how often she has the ball in her hands: 14 points a game, along with an area-best 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks per game.
"When she's focused in, the team really follows her lead," said Baus of his playmaker, who had the unusual triple-double of 13 points, 12 assists and 11 steals against Clear Fork. "She has a lot of assists, but her scoring numbers have started to go up, she's started to turn the corner as far as that part of her game. As Gabby goes, we go.
"She's difficult to press, and we rely on her to get our offense going," Baus added. "It's no secret that we want to pound the ball into the paint, and she's made sure we do that."
In the paint is where Cairnie operates, and the 5-10 post has battled double- and triple-teams to lead the area in scoring (23.3) and rebounding (14) per game, after averaging a double-double (14.4 ppg., 10.7 rpg.) as a junior.
"From the first day of practice Sarah's been our workhorse, and she's a real game-day player," Baus said. "The great thing about her has been her consistency, it's not like she's scoring 40 one game and 2 the next -- she's consistently been steady, even in a few games where she hasn't been completely healthy, or when she has two or three people on her. She still finds a way to get it done."
Senior guard Paige Dickerhoof is averaging 8 points and 4.3 rebounds, with junior Tirzah Talampas (4.5 ppg.) and sophomore Carla Stoll (3.4 ppg.) also seeing time in the backcourt, while senior Syd Logee (4 ppg., 6.9 rpg.) and sophomore Erin Daugherty (4.3 ppg., 6 rpg.) contribute inside.
While most of the WHS numbers have been assets through nine games, one number -- the 17 turnovers per game -- has to come down, particularly against a West Holmes squad that averages over 15 steals.
"That's a stat that really jumps out at me," Baus said his team's miscues, which included a whopping 28 in the win over Clear Fork, "and a lot of those are unforced. We're running with the ball more than we usually do, so we expected a few more turnovers, but a lot of them aren't from that. We just aren't taking care of the basketball, and you can't have that many turnovers and expect to win too many.
"(Thursday), we have to be patient on offense, something we haven't been," Baus added. "We've got to make them play defense against us. I'm not talking about slowing it down, but for us, usually it's one or two passes and the ball's going up. We need to be a little more selective, and if we keep the ball moving, some things will open up."
Wooster's lone OCC loss was its last, on Dec. 14 at Mansfield Senior, a team West Holmes walloped 83-30 last Saturday. The Generals also dropped a non-league contest to Green.
After Thursday, Wooster hosts Lexington Saturday afternoon, then travels to Orrville Jan. 16. On Jan. 20, the Generals close out the "Classic in the Country" at Hiland High, playing in the final game of the three-day event against the host Hawks.

With next year's NBAA Convention coming to New Orleans, Atlantic Aviation wanted attendees to know that it is in place at Lakefront Airport (NEW) and ready to serve. The existing Million Air facility is one of the best known in the country, but Atlantic's Sue Sommers wants customers to know there is an alternative. She told AIN the hangar there is unusual–"like a big ark" with tiled walls and a curved wooden ceiling. The general manager at Atlantic NEW is Traci Fremin.

The Buzzz is now only one of many excellent mids, and I would place it no higher than middle of the pack at this stage.
Wow. Where do I start? I disagree with everything above.
First the Buzzz. The Buzzz is a great, great disc and a consistent product. I don't know how the flight of a Buzzz could be improved unless it was remote controlled. A Buzzz is a naturally straight flier, the most valuable of all flight paths. Anything that goes straight can be precisely shaped. A Buzzz fights winds, handles power and handles the flutter of a forehand shot, with a flat top and no bead making it fit in the hand superbly. The Buzz is so great a disc it pulls players off the Roc, which is itself a great disc.
I would like to show the doubters, first hand, how a Buzzz navigates tight tunnels.
Next to cycling. Cycling is inevitable for experienced players. Whether we are talking about your favorite putter, mid or driver, in whatever plastic, eventually it will break in. When it does do you take it out of the bag and retire it? Not me. As it breaks in it becomes more valuable, not less. I have learned and memorized that disc. It is beloved. I know how to shape lines with it. I know how it reacts in every wind and temperature and condition. Retire it? I wouldn't trade it for two brand new ones. If I lost it I would mourn it.
So what do you do when your favorite disc breaks in? Add a new one of the same thing, of course. Now you have started cycling. Every mold that I carry in my bag I have at least 2 of. One fresh, one broken in. My workhorse drivers, Nukes and Crushes I carry stacks of. Buzzzes? 4 at least, more if I need a risk disc. The more you rely on a mold, the better you learn it, the more that slight variations in stability become valuable. A mild headwind and you dial up. A fair tailwind and you dial down. Your knowledge of those variations increases your margin of error and makes the game easier.
Pros will throw whatever works. My sponsor has many mids in many plastics (Buzzz, Buzzz SS, Hornet, Meteor, Comet, Hawk, Wasp, Drone, Zone, Impact, Stratus, Storm, Glide, MRV, a few more they make for DGA and I'm probably forgetting some). Somehow I don't feel limited in choices. I keep Wasps and Zones in my tournament box but only pull them out in very strong winds. Why? Because the Buzzz works so well. Like fine wine it gets better with age.
JR wrote:It always amuses me that people like me that are not super into cycling discs claiming that getting a new one to fit a role is great often fail to notice that Buzzes in different plastics are more versatile out of the box than probably any other mold. Glo z or beefy ti for os z for moderately os domey esp, ss or x for mild hyzer flips to straight or mildly us and the reportedly quickly breakng in d for flippy. As if the Buzz would not move a lot right when new even in z annied past say 7 degrees of anny with power to make it go 300' if flat or about 400' with drivers. Bob is your uncle. Sorry bent the Buzz fulfilled your requirements without the needbto cycle them too. Next stop the shop where they sell Buzzes. How else may we help you
Which other mold comes in so many different stabilities that they cover all the midrange lines released flat at least when given over 360-370' driver power? With great variations in tackiness for all round the year use in all kinds of weather condition. Tasty. Sure there are different great mids some of which fly like one of the Buzzes and some not. Some are shorter others longer glides vary etc. So what. The Buzz is not for everyone given the rest of the bag but it can cover a widrr spectrum of mid flights than most if not every other mold with new examples. Beat that.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
We mainly run Alphas on v7.1. We have a MicroVax 3100 at a remote location that needs another SCSI disk. It is still running OpenVMS v5.5. I seem to remember that there was a physical disk size limitation for earlier versions of OpenVMS. How large of a disk can we install under OpenVMS v5.5? 0.5 Gb? 1.5 Gb? 5.0 Gb? 8.0 Gb? etc. What is the RX## RZ## equivalent? Is there a web page that shows that information? Thank you.

Shireen Wajdi breaks her silence
Egyptian singer Shireen Wajdi has chosen the Tunisian radio channel Mosaic FM to openly talk about the scandal she is facing, after her millionaire husband Ehab Tal'at, known as Egypt's king of advertisement, was imprisoned.
According to the London based Elaph, Shireen revealed the facts behind being forbidden to sing in Egypt or leave the county, in addition to her financial situation, her relationship with her husband, career, and the currents condition under her production company 'Rotana.'
The singer stressed that she has been faced with so many rumors and tabloids, spreading lies, that she wanted to set the record straight.
Shireen succeed to take back a CD that was confiscated by police authorities, and that contains the original recordings of the new songs for her upcoming album, produced by 'Rotana.'
She had submitted an official request to the police stating that the CD cannot be considered as evidence in the case against her husband, who is accused of money laundry and embezzlement, and that it contains music for which she owns the copyrights.
Police officials agreed to Shireen's request and returned the CD. When the singer went to the police station to pick up her CD, she was able to visit with her incarcerated husband, Ehab Tal'at.
Ehab has submitted a plea to decrease his sentence. He may be released on the condition that he pays back 29 million Egyptian pounds, and he plans on selling most of his assets to try and muster the fine.

Las Vegas Sun
Published Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013 | 1:46 p.m.
Updated Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013 | 5 p.m.
An arbitrator's decision to award a cost-of-living raise and increase in health benefits to Metro Police officers did not meet standards required by Nevada law, according to a memo from Clark County's in-house legal counsel.
The Sept. 23 decision by Chicago-based arbitrator Robert Perkovich is at the core of an intensifying battle between Commissioner Steve Sisolak and Sheriff Doug Gillespie.
Last week, Sisolak raised allegations of impropriety and possible collusion on the part of Gillespie, pointing to several irregularities in the arbitrator's decision, which awarded a 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase and an increased health plan contribution of $1,154 to members of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association. Perkovich estimated that the award's total cost would cost taxpayers more than $6.9 million.
Sisolak has argued the arbitration process didn't follow state statute and wasn't transparent.
Gillespie fought back fiercely, conducting a news conference in front of Metro's downtown headquarters where he denied Sisolak's allegations.
"The arbitration process is set in stone," Gillespie said Friday. "There are rules. There are processes. They were followed."
But a memo from Clark County's legal staff requested by Sisolak points to something being amiss in the process.
"It is clear the arbitrator's conduct of this arbitration was not in compliance with Nevada law," county counsel Mary-Anne Miller wrote in the memo, dated Tuesday.
Miller pointed out several issues in the way the case was handled – including improper selection of Perkovich, a lack of documentation throughout the process and an improperly rendered decision.
Miller said she was not, however, able to determine whether the issues are the sole responsibility of the arbitrator, or whether the negotiating parties, meaning Gillespie and the police union, improperly waived certain statutory requirements.
Sisolak said that even if his suspicions hold true and the proper arbitration process was not followed, the decision will likely stand.
"They've made a decision. We're going to have to live with the award as it stands right now," he said. "My problem is the process, not the result of the process."

FANCY a cup of tea?
Well here's the perfect property to brew one in — a tiny house shaped like a teapot and it could be yours for just under $19,000.
The property, near the Scottish Borders village of Lilliesleaf is listed for sale for £10,000. It was
originally designed as a wood shed by its current owner, artist and sculptor Ian Hunter, The Telegraph in the UK reports.
Now fully refurbished, the structure has two levels. The ground floor is accessible through a drop-down door in the spout, and there are steps inside the handle to take you to the top floor.
A "lid" opens up to let light in, and the building is ready to be dismantled and delivered to its new owner.
At only 6.4 metres in diameter, don't expect to be able to host large gatherings but it would be the perfect venue for an intimate tea party.
Real estate agent Tony Perriam of Rettie and Co told The Telegraph: "It would be ideal for a quirky summer house, or as a fishing hut for an imaginative river bank proprietor on the Tweed.
"It's highly adaptable, and its substantial construction means that power water supplies and drainage could readily be connected, depending on its final destination."
According to the property listing, "The Magical Teapot would make a fabulous addition to any visitor attraction — as a feature for a children's playground; as a quirky fishing hut; as a reception area/tea room/exhibition space etc; as a VIP lounge/viewing platform or press office at any outdoor event or simply the most enchanting 'Hobbit Hideaway'.
"One thing is for sure, it always makes folk smile, lifts their spirits — they just can't help themselves!"
It's certainly more livable than a tea-bag house. And just think what Australian architects could achieve if they brought our national pastimes to life in house form. A sixpack home, anyone?
