Digging: Lie In Ruins - Towards Divine Death
Album seems very good but worse than annihilation of the wicked and their last effort
Album Rating: 2.5Is this streaming somewhere?
Album Rating: 3.0@Da11thMytrillSphere - Basically yeah, it's still brilliant, but you're asking a bit too much of them if you expect them to top their previous best, every single time.
Album Rating: 4.5great album. up their with the best of their discography. which is pretty much all of it. Nile are a lot more consistent than people give them credit forDigging: Trust - Joyland

sucks 2/5 also its not karl sanders on lead vocals - hes doing the additional grunts. its the regressing vocals of dallas toler-wade
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffI really hate the production in the new album. But nevertheless another good Nile album. Digging: Junius - Days of the Fallen Sun
Digging: Junius - Days of the Fallen Sun
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffAlso good review man!
Album Rating: 3.5Album's pretty solid, have pos.
Album Rating: 4.51) sanders' vocals on this are much more akin to those found in a lot of OSDM (which people wank over almost unanimously - in parts its very similar to the vocals found in incantation and their clones...at others morbid angel and more "thrashy" dm) 2) the production is really not that bad at all. once you listen to it a few times it's pretty much indistinguishable from the last album (which no one really had any production complaints about, that i noticed) just a case of someone saying something and people hopping on because they're too indolent to form their own opinion
Album Rating: 3.0I said the production on this was actually very good, but it's not perfect and I actually think it's a step backwards from Those Whom The Gods Detest. As I already said throughout the entirety of the first two paragraphs, as a stand alone album it's excellent, as a Nile album it's merely another addition to their discography.
I feel like besides the instrumentation, this was a step backwards from TWTGDDigging: The Ivoryton Piano Factory - Permagrin: The Music of Justin Veatch

...yet he couldn't save this from being their weakest offering to date. It's kinda frustrating because all their albums before this ruled :/
Album Rating: 4.5its more of the same really. dont see how a fan would dislike it, but whatever.
Album Rating: 3.5I enjoyed Those Whom the Gods Detest and I'm probably going to like this a lot based on Anthracks comments Digging: Curren$y - The Drive In Theatre
Digging: Curren$y - The Drive In Theatre
Album Rating: 3.0Sound, are we listening to the same album? If you liked all of Nile's previous releases it's almost a given you should like this one. Might I ask what was so bad about it?
@Anthracks - Yes more of the same but still a step in the wrong direction. Except for the Egyptian-themed style and the crazy drumming, they more or less abandoned what Nile fans love and kind of expect: The otherworldly low and distinctive vocals (especially from Toler-Wade) and the low-end riffing. @Jacquibim - read the above^^
Album Rating: 4.5i dont see a difference in the riffing at all? much of the vocals are very low on this album, too. dunno what you're listening to

Simple as that...who is the best player, in your opinion, that Gerald Wallace could beat straight up? A friend of mine contends that he can't beat anyone, all he's got is hustle and no skill whatsoever. In my mind this argument would have to start from the top down (ie Kobe, Bron) and wouldn't include guys that are impossible match-ups (ie DHoward, CP3).
In my mind, he'd beat KG in a game to 21. I'm talking even KG back to 3-4 years ago.
What do you guys think? (Bonus for video or pics of him burning someone or even getting burned)

Pure's colorful Jongo T640B Bluetooth speakers Video
Pure's colorful Jongo T640B Bluetooth speakers Video Transcript
Hello, I'm Luke Westaway here at CES in Las Vegas taking a look at the Pure T640B. I may not have the snappiest name, but Pure is hoping that this speaker will stick in your memory. Anyway, this matte black version doesn't look particularly bombastic, but it also comes in a white version and you can spice both models up by buying accessory grills, which come and arrange in different colors. It's not too massive, so it won't take up too much space in your living room. It's got 5-inch speakers and it pumps out 100 watts of noise. Pure tells me that you'll also be able to turn the speaker around and balance it in portrait mode. Under the logo, it also swivels so that it doesn't look weird when you do that. This is a prototype model, however, so we can't show you what it look like. It sounds all right so far, but there is a kicker. The speaker doesn't have airplay, which is Apple's wireless audio technology. You can stream music over Wi-Fi still, but you're gonna have to use Pure's own app. On the plus side, the app lets you control the volume of different speakers in your house from the single interface and it works on Android and iOS. This smaller device serves as a kind of internet adaptor for your guest so you can connect this to your existing speakers and then you can control them using that Pure app that I mentioned earlier. The T640B is gonna cost $329 while the small adaptor will set you back $119. Both the T640B and the hi-fi adaptor will be out around March-April time. I'm Luke Westaway and be sure to keep in CNET where everything related to see in 2013.

For those of us who are nerds, seeing hard drives demolished is much more exciting than watching monster trucks pummel each other. Google gives us that viewing opportunity with a recent video showing drives being ground almost to powder, or at least to metal-and-plastic bits (so to speak).
Google has posted G-rated video of its data and security centers before, but a recent video, "Security and Data Protection in a Google Data Center," shared on YouTube, is a fascinating look at what happens to hard drives on servers used by the tech giant once those hard drives are deemed to have reached the end of their lives.
At about 3:35 into the 7-minute video, Google shows how the drives are destroyed in a "multi-step process" that includes use of "the crusher," a steel piston that is pushed through the center of the drives, as well as a "drive shredder" that makes anything similar you have at home look like child's play.
The video may reassure customers, or those thinking of going the cloud route, that their data is safe. But still needing more assurance and information is the business of mobile phone location-based data tracking by Google and Apple. Google did say late Friday that customers have the ability to opt out of such tracking, but for many mobile phone users, it's not so crystal-clear. And perhaps a video is in order on that topic.

Larry Brown
A Miracle of Catfish (Algonquin)
I was in the Annapolis Barnes and Noble when I learned that Larry Brown had died. Perusing the magazine racks, I caught sight of a "Remembering Larry Brown" headline on one of the literary journals. Brown had died of a heart attack at age 53. Tears ran down my cheeks as folks around me sipped frappuccinos and paged through the new issue of O. I never met Brown, but he'd touched me over the years with his novels and short stories. A top-tier Southern writer championed by the likes of our own Madison Smartt Bell, Brown wrote "fiction" that seemed to mock the very word. Sure, the characters and settings were products of a fertile imagination, but his gritty, dazzling, big-hearted books were shot through with great truths. Brown's characters were capable of intense self-reflection and a deep appreciation of the natural world around them, despite listing precariously toward self-destruction. Like in Brown's previous books, the misfits and rogues populating this unfinished novel are beset by disappointment, violence, poverty, and vices of various sorts. They angle for redemption that remains out of reach, in a Southern gothic narrative arcing toward a conclusion that never comes. Instead, Catfish—with the last half dozen chapters unwritten—ends abruptly, hinting at unfulfilled genius. Just like its author's life.
Edited by Charles W. Mitchell
Maryland Voices of the Civil War (Johns Hopkins)
A border state (at least nominally) loyal to the Union, Maryland's role in the Civil War was complex and thorny. Using excerpts from personal correspondence, journals, and newspapers from that period, Mitchell frames the issues (states' rights, slavery, secession) and the state's role in the conflict in both political and personal terms. There's plenty of bravado from the warriors, but Mitchell also does an excellent job including the voices of people who are simply snagged by the war. Rather than being caught up in the fervor of the war, these folks (including some women and children) are ensnared by it. And they make the account fuller, giving it more diversity and range.

Criminally Yours (Eight-Stone)
A collaboration between the Smile, Hon, You're
in Baltimore! and The Mobtown Shank zines (the latter an e-zine), this tiny gem collects local crime stories submitted mainly by readers of both publications. The results are, by turns, harrowing and hilarious—slices of urban life that, most likely, never made the papers but made for a good tale on a barstool. My favorite involves a Hampden woman who sees a kid steal a Walkman from a car. She knew the kid and later called him and told him to "put it back." You'll have to read the zine to find out what happens, but like a number of these stories, it speaks to the small town feeling that still exists in parts of the city.

DRAFT HHS NOTICE OF BENEFIT AND PAYMENT PARAMETERS FOR 2014 Earlier this year, CMS published the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Standards Related to Reinsurance, Risk Corridors and Risk Adjustment Final Rule (Premium Stabilization Rule) (77 FR 17220) and the Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers Final Rule (77 FR 18310). These rules implement standards for Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), States, and health insurance issuers related to the reinsurance, risk adjustment, and risk corridors programs established by the Affordable Care Act and the establishment of Exchanges and qualified health plans. These programs are designed to provide consumers with affordable health insurance coverage, to reduce incentives for health insurance issuers to avoid enrolling sicker people, and to stabilize premiums in the individual and small group health insurance markets inside and outside Exchanges.
• Exchange User Fees: Under the Affordable Care Act, Exchanges are self-sustaining entities. CMS proposes a user fee for health insurance issuers participating in a Federally-facilitated Exchange that would be commensurate with fees charged by State-based Exchanges.

- speed: opening a whole new app can be slow, especially when the system is under unusual load which is often exactly when you want it
- user interface: since it was the whole ksysguard app there were menubars and tabs and all sorts of clutter
- discoverability: ah, ctrl-escape.. how many found that little gem? not nearly enough
so at last year's akademy john tapsell, who had taken ksysguard under his rather capable wings, and i chatted about the situation. we charted a cunning plan to fix all three of these issues. ok, maybe "cunning" is a bit of an overstatement. well, you be the judge.
to fix the speed issue, we decided to put the process table into krunner. this would make it faster to bring up because krunner would already be running. this meant getting the widgets into a library for external usage, which john came through on. now when you press ctrl-esc it appears instantly, even the first time, and better yet it is populated with information before you can blink. the kde3 sysguard takes a couple of seconds with no load to populate the window after the app has started up. this is such an improvement it's not even funny, and the credit for this goes almost exclusively to john's efforts (though qt4's model/view stuff probably helped out =)
and now that these widgets are all in a library, here's one for your inner geek: you can start Qt designer and pop a process listing on a form and interact with processes, live, from inside designer. not talking about doing a preview of the form, but right there when it is in edit mode. talk about sickeningly cool.
with speed addressed, what about user interface? since the table was going to be hosted by krunner, we could make the user interface quite slim. here is where it was at earlier today:
the buttons are a bit odd and the window title are wrong in the screenshot, but you get the idea. we're also adding an expander arrow that will grow the window to show some basic stats below the table (cpu, memory, etc). but notice the lack of a menu bar, tabs, etc.. and once the buttons are all squared away it'll be pretty nice.
think of it as a ksysguard-superlite-in-a-window. 100% of the code is shared with ksysguard; in fact, if you launch ksyguard it will share the library =)
this leads us to the solution for the discoverability problem. we are putting a button in the run dialog to get to your system activity monitor:
this shot is pretty bad, but it works (the important bit) and the oxygen team are currently nearly finished with the rework of the krunner ui so i figured i wouldn't bother trying to make it pretty in its current form. the important thing is that it's pretty easy to see how to pull up a system monitor now when you go to the run dialog.
ctrl-esc is still there and we may offer a link in the application launcher interface (the successor of the application menu) though that is still yet to be decided on for sure.
speaking of krunner's interface: i just got the final draft artwork by email late yesterday ... it's hot! =) there was also a bunch of work done on various bits of plasma, but this was more exciting. well, for me at least =)
yep ... today was one more baby step towards total desktop world domination. kde4: be free. boo yah! =)

Right now, one (1) share of Apple costs roughly the same as a new iPad, and Apple CEO Tim Cook just traded in 37,500 shares for a grand total of $11.1 million. Yeah.
For the last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook has been holding onto a bunch of restricted Apple stock awarded to him when he first took up day-to-day leadership duties when Steve Jobs left on medical leave. On March 10, the restriction was lifted on a bunch of that stock, which allowed him to sell. 17,322 of those shares were surrendered for taxes, but the other 20,178 were all sold yesterday over the span of five separate sales throughout the day.
Cook recieved another million shares when he signed on as CEO that he'll be able to sell in 2016 and 2021, and no doubt he's holding even more stock beyond that; Cook's definitely in it for the long haul. The street doesn't seem to mind the sale -- in fact, prices have climbed from $556 this morning to $568.
Source: [](The details for the sale of his Apple shares are available over here.)via iPhoneInCanada
That's not a great signal to send when the CEO cashes in.
It's totally normal. CEOs routinely cash stock out. Bill Gates has been doing it for years, as well as the CEOs of pretty much every major company everywhere. Nothing to see here.
Doesn't he make a salary of $1 a year? It's not like he liquidated all his holdings right before an earnings call. Give him some leeway to due some prudent financial planning.
Haha sound like their plan to resell the same product with minor tweaks every year isn't working anymore..oh wait with you iSheeps falling for this scheme every year, im sure it'll keep working for them for a couple more years.
So $568 a share and the most valuable company in the world isn't working huh? He's cashing in on a bonus not jumping ship you dums.
I'm actually a Droid user, but I can still see what Apple is doing and how much they have accomplished, especially with the iPad. Incremental updates are just good business sense.
KidCanada trolling again with another douchebag comment.
Go away, eat some of that crap food they serve at Tim Hortons and drown your sorrows in a Molson.
I guess Simon wrote this yesterday since the stock is now up another 20+USD today. Don't fret CEO's must sell a bit here and there. Usually you will see fairly regular sales by the senior executives in the filings.
I'd be more concerned with why its OK for the government to keep 5.1 million.. That's an almost 50% tax if I'm reading this correctly.
If you're looking for a sign to worry over, there ya go..
50% tax on a capital gain is normal. Restricted shares are offered typically at lower than market price so right away its free money. Anytime theres money to be made, the gov't wants its share.
Actually it's 40% and that's only when your marginal income tax rate is 40%. In Tim's case that's because he takes home a whopping $1.4m in basic salary plus bonus of about the same. He's not hurting.
Where a person's sole income is from capital gains they pay the lowest rate of 15% like Romney and Buffet.
@ Jason D
50% tax on a capital gain is normal. Restricted shares are offered typically at lower than market price so right away its free money. Anytime theres money to be made, the gov't wants its share.
Hey Nick,
Normal in that we've come to deem this level of taxation acceptable. Ouch!
I have a structured settlement but I need cash now... Call JG Wentworth 877-CASH-NOW
When samsung releases a product with incremental upgrades its ok but when apple releases a revised ipad with better screen, more ram, more gpu, its a bad thing!

lovely place and lovely food. Restaurant is completely in sand and although i had a cockroach crawl up my neck halfway through the meal it was definitely worth going there!! The staff found the cockroach incident quite funny :)
lovely place and lovely food. Restaurant is completely in sand and although i had a cockroach crawl up my neck halfway through the meal it was definitely worth going there!! The staff found the cockroach incident quite funny :)
Last week we went to visit Kaina Hut and found that the restaurant is out of business. The front structure has been taken apart. A local said the restaurant was poorly managed and they ran out of money.
On our honeymoon we ate here for New Year's eve and it was incredible. It is the cutest and quaintest place I have been! I LOVE that the floor is all sand, keeps me in the mood of being on the beach on the South Pacific. The food was amazing, honestly one of THE BEST meals I have ever had!... More
Kaina Hut had decent food but when we were there the sand floor was INFESTED with biting sand fleas of some sort. Not sure what they were exactly but we were miserable. Normally in BoraBora slow service is a great thing but on this occasion we just wanted our food and to get out of dodge. 2 hours later we... More
Starting from a warm personal welcome from hostess Titaua and ending with a post dessert greeting from her Corsican chef husband, Laurent, the personal connection with Kaina is ever-present and completely memorable. For ambiance, imagine a high gabled, open-air thatched roof hut, sand between the toes, mother-of-pearl ornamentation, comfortable seats and floral bouquets - the only enhancement would be location... More
we LOVED our dining experience at the Bora Kaina Hut. LOVELY couple that own the restaurant and the setting was delightful {think bloody mary's...but more upscale!} and the bruchetta was amazing! and my husband's prime rib was the largest cut of meat we've ever seen! delish! please go....really and truly, you will not be sad you did!
I went to Bora Kaina Hut this evening with my wife and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. From top-to-bottom the Bora Kaina Hut is a fantastic restaurant. We showed up to the restaurant right around sunset and had a seat at the bar for a few drinks. The Chef offered us a bottle of mosquito-repellent to keep the mosquitos... More
We were immediately made to feel welcome. The food was excellent, so good in fact we tried to go back but were unable to get in on shorter notice because of the holidays. The food was creative and very well done.
Less a meal in a restaurant and more an intimate dinner with friends! Titaua was the perfect hostess from start to finish..warm and welcoming, offering a detailed explanation of the menu, and delivering friendly service throughout the evening. Laurent worked the kitchen with equal skill. His choices of entrees were expertly prepared with the utmost care (he even came out... More
After being quite disappointed with the food at our hotel, we were told to visit Kaina Hut by a local and it was nothing short of amazing! We arrived a bit earlier than opening, but were greeted by the owners Titaua & Laurent and welcomed to great conversation and drinks at the bar. Laurent is an amazing chef...we were starving... More

Updated: 3:01 p.m. Thursday, May 17, 2012 | Posted: 3:00 p.m. Thursday, May 17, 2012
By Jimmy Dinsmore, Dave Mikesell
Across Generations
The Suzuki Grand Vitara is a compact sport-utility vehicle that has rugged tendencies. That rugged versatility was somewhat surprising to Wheels editor Jimmy Dinsmore and freelance automotive writer David Mikesell during their test drive of the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara.
As it turns out, there were more surprises to be found.
DAVE: Here is something you might not expect to find as standard on a compact sport-utility vehicle — a navigation system. But, in the sake of full disclosure, the navigation system is not the grand, in-dash version with an expansive touch screen. Instead, it's a portable Garmin that comes in a pop-up mount on the top of the dash. Considering the ease of use and the information features included — I now know every barbecue joint within 20 miles of my house — I'd say this navigator is headed in the right direction. How 'bout you, Jimmy? Find any good restaurants — or other neat features in the Grand Vitara?
JIMMY: I actually didn't employ the navigation system as, unlike you, I was a little put off at its minimalistic appearance. I expected a little more from a "standard" navigation system in an SUV. But, I did find the interior to be comfortable and attractive. I especially liked the two-tone seats, which are water resistant, giving the Grand Vitara an off-roading vibe. It straddled the line between comfort and ruggedness. Don't you agree, Dave?
DAVE: The Grand Vitara has a classic compact SUV exterior, with the term classic meaning that there is not much to make a visual splash other than the flared fenders. Where Suzuki did spice up the model this year, though, was with the addition of an Ultimate Adventure Edition to the lineup. Slotted above the Base and Premium trims but below the Limited, the Ultimate Adventure retails for $23,949 for the all-wheel drive version we tested (rear-wheel drive is $22,299) and comes with water-resistant two-tone heated vinyl seats Jimmy mentioned, 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, heated power mirrors with integrated turn signals and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
JIMMY: The Grand Vitara has a comparable engine to many other compact SUVs on the market. The 2.4-liter engine generates 166 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. It has full-time all-wheel drive and 4-wheel independent suspension. This makes for a comfortable ride that remains under control.
During a gully-washing spring storm, the Grand Vitara threw pooling water aside, never once hydroplaning, and performed like a champ. The major area of improvement for the Grand Vitara is in the transmission.
Offering a 4-speed transmission in today's market puts Suzuki at least two gears behind the times (the base model is standard with a five-speed manual). Despite this, the transmission does give everything it has and the shifting is reasonably good.
DAVE: Maneuverability is a plus in the Grand Vitara, which is great for urban confines since there is also a good view of the road. Taking to the country or over harsh pavement accentuates the firm ride but nothing too egregious.
JIMMY: The Grand Vitara has a side-hinged rear gate. I liked this feature, but it can be cumbersome in tight parking lots and city parking. There is 69 cubic feet of interior cargo space with the 60/40-split rear seats folded down. However, to fold them flat is a multi-step process that is a little complicated and could stand to be simplified.
DAVE: Like other compact SUVs, the versatility and rugged nature of the Suzuki Grand Vitara is appreciated. Not to speak for Jimmy here, but this one packs a lot onto a window sticker.
JIMMY: I definitely appreciate all of the included features on the sticker. However, the fuel economy is below standard, thanks in part to the aforementioned 4-speed transmission and the standard all-wheel drive. I averaged a mere 19 MPG during my week in the Grand Vitara. Those who've experienced a Grand Vitara in the past will appreciate the advancements the brand has made. There are still improvements needed, but for now the Suzuki Grand Vitara offers useful versatility.

Valentine's Day Traffic Slams Florist Sites
February 16th, 2011 By: Rich Miller
Is your data center ready to handle traffic on your busiest day? That's the challenge facing retailers with seasonal business, where huge sales may be concentrated into a narrow time window. A good example is florists, who see heavy activity in the run-up to Valentine's Day.
"Every year, some of these websites won't be prepared to handle the increase in visitor traffic and as a result they slow down significantly, or even crash under the pressure," writes Pingdom, which conducted an analysis of how the web sites for the leading flower vendors fared during this year's holiday.
One major site – 1800flowers.com – experienced significant availability problems, with more than eight hours of downtime during the holiday period. That included a four-hour outage on the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 11, when many customers were likely arranging deliveries for Monday morning delivery on Feb. 14.
See Pingdom for the full report.

1. When you leave the city and a cashier smiles at you and asks how your day was, you're like:
3. Nothing fills you with more rage than getting on a crowded subway car and suddenly hearing, "It's showtime!"
4. You have the same conversation with the same friends at the same bar every night.
5. $12 cocktails and $20 yoga classes seem normal now.
6. In the summer, you consider the wind from an approaching subway car to be "a nice breeze."
7. You've considered moving into your office to save on rent since you spend so much time there anyway.
8. You've gone from not leaving Brooklyn on the weekends, to not leaving your actual neighborhood on the weekends.
10. You've Seamlessed lunch and dinner in the same day and not given a shit.
14. You've become immune to the hot garbage smell.
17. When you visit the suburbs and try to sleep at night, the silence scares you.
19. You've stopped going out on Friday nights and started going out on Tuesday nights.
20. You walk faster than most people run.
21. You've either gotten really into cooking, or totally given up on cooking.
But when you return to New York, you realize you couldn't possibly live anywhere else.

The caller on the other end of the phone line was near exasperation. He had been given the run-around by government officials, the very people he put in office to represent him, and his quest for answers was met time and again with roadblocks.
I don't recall the specifics of the man's concern, or the public officials he was trying to spur to action in a cause he passionately believed in from the conversation years ago. But one thing he said has stuck with me, and it is something I go back to time and again whenever someone calls with similar concerns.
He told me the newspaper needed to pursue the records he sought and had been denied.
"They have to give it to you," he said. "You're the newspaper."
I told him government agencies did not have to comply with record requests simply because they came from a newspaper, or any medium. We have no special right to access. In fact, public records laws and open meetings laws are in place to guarantee any citizen has access to information concerning how the government is doing business.
The press, over the years, has embraced its role as the Fourth Estate. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees a free press, which means it will not be run by the government, and professional journalists across the country have made careers out of serving as community watchdogs. But beyond the protections offered by the First Amendment, we operate under the same rules and use the same tools available to any average person.
This is Sunshine Week. Sunshine Sunday was launched in 2002 by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors after the state legislature that year tried to create scores of exemptions to the existing open government laws. Because of increased publicity, most of those measures failed.
Today, the American Society of News Editors, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and other organizations, along with help from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Bloomberg LP, continue to promote open government through Sunshine Week.
According to the Sunshine Week website, "Sunshine Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger."
To play that active role, Americans need to keep watch on their elected or appointed officials to ensure they are operating in the best interest of the community. But it isn't always easy.
At all levels of government are officials bent on locking the public out of the governmental process. They do this by holding secret meetings or illegally going into closed sessions when the topics they are discussing rightfully should be discussed in open meetings. They do it by discussing issues via email exchanges, or by making major decisions through similar private exchanges that deny the public access to their deliberative process. And they seek to make it difficult, if not impossible, for the public to track what they are doing by delaying or outright denying public records requests for information that, by law, the public has a right to.
The traditional role of newspapers and other types of media as leaders in the charge for open government is evolving with advances in technology. As an example, a review of the cases in which the Maryland's Open Meetings Compliance Board issued opinions in the last fiscal year show an overwhelming majority were complaints filed by groups or individuals not associated with any media outlet.
Major media outlets still have an advantage in being able to spread the word when elected officials act outside the parameters of open records or open meetings laws, but more and more often word of wrongdoing is spread by the public through social media outlets.
Such outlets also can bring people with common interests together more quickly than might have been possible in the past, shining a brighter light on officials' attempts at secrecy and spurring communities to action.
Increasingly, citizen activists are taking an interest in and learning about their state's open records and open government laws. They are fighting attempts by governments to close off access to records or hold secret meetings, and they are demanding a higher degree of accountability from elected officials.
Overseeing government at all levels is not a press right, it is a right of every citizen. And the more citizens exercise that right, the better our government will become.

Peach Salsa with Pork Recipe
"My husband and I had a dish similar to this in a restaurant, so we were determined to re-create it," says Lisa St. Pierre of Pleasanton, California. "The pork is tender, and the salsa is refreshing with peaches and lime juice."
- 1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 to 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
- 1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
- Salt and pepper
- Place pork in a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish; rub meat with oil. Sprinkle with oregano and cumin. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. In a bowl, combine the salsa ingredients. Serve with pork. Yield: 2-3 servings.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Office of Research & Creative Scholarship
Helpful Hints
Compiled by Program Directors in the Division of Undergraduate Education
Read the Program Announcement
- NSF has no hidden agendas. It's all there in the program announcement.
- Talk with a program officer to make sure your ideas fit in the program. If the program officer tells you your ideas are too narrow or don't fit a program, look for other sources.
- Make sure your project is worthwhile, realistic, well-planned, and innovative.
Work on Projects You Care Deeply About
- Let your commitment come through in the proposal.
- Make sure reviewers can understand the importance of this work to your institution and to others.
- Caveat: Don't become such a one-song person that you can't listen to other ideas.
Build on What Others Have Done
- Like any research project, you must build on what others have done before you and then add to the base of knowledge. Don't reinvent the wheel.
- Read the literature, go to workshops, talk with others.
- Be current.
- Discuss the value added of your project. What are you adding to the knowledge base?

- Your project must have more than just a local impact. It must impact more than just your students and your institution. How can others use and build on your work?
- However, we do want you to be a "prophet in your own land." If the project is not good enough for you and your institution to use, why should others use it?
Have Measurable Goals and Objectives
- Enhancing student learning, improving undergraduate education, and other similar things are lofty, but not measurable. Make sure you have measurable goals and objectives. What will be delivered? What is needed to convince others that this works and is worth supporting or emulating?
Think Teamwork
- Successful projects are team efforts, although individuals matter too. Your project team should be greater than the sum of its parts.
- You work in a department. Department efforts are more likely to be successful than one-person efforts.
- You must have the support of administrators. Keep them involved, make them look good, give them credit, find out what they need to support you.
- Get a good group of internal and external advisors and an outside evaluator (or evaluation team).
Use Good Management Skills
- Have a realistic timeline and implementation schedule from the beginning and stick to it.
- Have milestones and specific deliverables (with dates).
- Use carrots when you can (but be prepared to use the baton when you must). Don't reward until people deliver.
- Assign responsibilities, but also give folks needed authority to do them, and then hold them accountable.
Evaluation is Impact and Effectiveness
- You do need numbers. How many students are impacted? How many faculty? How many students succeed in the next course?
- You also need evidence that your project is having an impact and that it is effective. How do you know the project is working and that it is worthwhile?
- Ask who needs to be convinced and what evidence will they accept.
- You cannot evaluate yourself. You must have outside validation.
- Build in evaluation from the beginning.
Spread the Word
- Work with other faculty and support them as they try to implement your materials. Doing new things is not easy.
- Try to get a team of folks who have used your materials to help spread the word.
- Reach out to other disciplines.
- Have a proactive dissemination plan. A website is necessary, but not sufficient.
Payback Time
- Keep NSF or your funder informed. They have to report too. It's all a cycle.
- Send in reports on time. Use the required format.
- Send in "nuggets," information about awards, student impact, pictures, etc.
- Give credit to NSF or other funders, your administrators, your team members, your department, etc. Giving credit to others makes you look better and gets you better support later.
- Offer to be a reviewer and to help others.

Google Plus plus Meebo equals Google minus $100m
Google is set to acquire website widget maker Meebo for a reported price tag of $100m (£64.8m) in a clear move to drum up interest in Google+, the ad giant's flagging social network. Meebo confirmed the planned takeover in a blog post on Sunday. The cloud-based upstart makes a button bar that, among other things, appears on …
Google+, the ad giant's flagging social network.
Can you please stop thinking of Google+ as a social network. Having it as the backbone of nearly ubiquitous Google profiles makes it both more and less, depending on what you want from it, than that. Anyone with a Google Play account for their Android device has such a profile. There is value in just that for both Google and users.
More insightful analysis into the role of the gatekeepers and identity traders such as Google and Facebook instead of simply repeating trite sound bites would be appreciated.
Oh, that thing?
Where websites suddenly sprout "toolbars" that eat window real estate, obscure the content I came looking for, eat cycles, and then turn out to refuse to turn the darn things off? Because, oh, my browser window isn't full screen all the time and hey my screen is only 1024 pixels wide so any off buttons just happen to lie right outside the window, and without scrollbar are so effectively unreachable? Those "features"?
Or the same thing but that only pops in until after you've scrolled down a bit? Or maybe those things that pop in at the end of an article "go read this too"?
I hate them. All of them. They get blocked any way I can. Along with moving anything that isn't the main focus of the page. Foo, ads that don't move are obnoxious enough. That stuff is so much worse.
So why yes, plunk a hundred million on new ways to hate on your users, google. I've given up on you as a search engine exactly because all that "helpful" javascript that tries to outguess me. Like trying to talk to someone who never lets you end a sentence. That's what the google experience is these days. These guys fit right into that. Good call.
Re: Oh, that thing?
You can turn of the auto-complete/instant suggestions here:-
...but, then again, you may not want Google tracking your search history and could be blocking use of cookies or do not have a Google profile to log into.
But I agree, I'm not a fan of installing browser toolbars either!
It said: "With the Meebo team's expertise in social publisher tools, we believe they will be a great fit with the Google Plus team."
I'm amazed the word 'synergy' wasn't used.
g+ is not flagging.
" flagging social network." says who, it's very vibrant where I am.. Sounds like you have rubbish circles.
Obviously g+ also has private circles, so it's impossible to measure churn.
Still why let all that get in the way of a story. You have to wonder if the writers here have facebook stock, and what el-reg ethics policy is with regards to this and other conflicts of interest..
Does el reg even publish their editorial ethics policy? If not, then why not.
Re: g+ is not flagging.
"You have to wonder if the writers here have facebook stock..."
No, but I am forced to wonder if you're an utter n00b around here. You haven't noticed the dripping sarcasm that anything Facebum related gets laced with and the recent "make hay while the sun shines" gleeful reporting of the fallout from Zuckerbitch's IPO then?
It's more a matter of catering to an audience that would appear to be generally of the opinion that Social Networks are aimed fairly and squarely at retarded sheep.....
Re: g+ is not flagging.
Still - when they will be able to buy FB next week for the change that they find down the back of the sofa you have to wonder why they are bothering.
Re: g+ is not flagging.
Yeah, and the OS/2 world is still around too and looking very active to the few people in it.
Google Facebook Gatekeepers?
If Google took over Facebook we could have more free time. No need to build and maintain pesky websites. We would all use our Walls in Circles covered with FaceGoo.
#&%^& #@ Google+
I was trying yesterday to post a review for a store on Google Maps and what do you think, Google asks me to join G+ just to be able to do that.
Well, the review went on YellowPages and G+ can stuff it.
Just to make sure I am not accused of supporting FB: I cancelled my FB account a few months ago.

Use of low-dose hormone therapy after oophorectomy is controversial. While studies have shown that use of hormone therapy after menopause may increase a woman's risk of breast cancer, other studies suggest early menopause can cause its own serious risks.
Women who undergo prophylactic oophorectomy and don't use hormone therapy up to age 45 have a higher rate of premature death, cancer, heart disease and neurological diseases. It's not clear that the higher rates of these diseases are due to low estrogen levels caused by oophorectomy, but doctors typically recommend that younger women who have surgically induced menopause consider taking low-dose hormone therapy for a short time and stopping by age 45 or 50.
Prophylactic oophorectomy may also increase your risk of memory loss and dementia. But studies show this risk may be reduced with the use of hormone therapy after surgery.
It isn't entirely clear what effect hormone therapy might have on your cancer risk. Several studies have found that short-term hormone therapy doesn't increase the risk of breast cancer in women with BRCA mutations who have undergone prophylactic oophorectomy. Ask your doctor about your particular situation. If you decide to take low-dose estrogen, plan to discontinue this treatment after age 50.
You may opt to have your uterus removed during your oophorectomy surgery, so that you can take a type of hormone therapy (estrogen only hormone therapy) that may be safer for women with a high risk of breast cancer. Discuss the benefits and risks of hysterectomy with your surgeon.
Researchers are studying other ways to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women who have a high risk of the disease. But these other ways of preventing ovarian cancer haven't been proved to reduce risk as much as oophorectomy has. For this reason, for most women with BRCA mutations, doctors recommend oophorectomy.
But oophorectomy isn't right for every woman with a high risk of breast cancer or ovarian cancer. So talk about the alternatives with your doctor to better understand how they may affect your risk. Options include:
Yes. Surgery to remove your breasts (mastectomy) may reduce your risk of breast cancer by 90 percent. As an example, if your risk of developing breast cancer at some point in your lifetime is 50 percent, a preventive mastectomy may lower your risk to 5 percent. Put another way, for every 100 women who underwent preventive mastectomy, five could be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives.
Reasons a woman might choose oophorectomy over mastectomy include:
These benefits have to be balanced against the risks of oophorectomy and the early menopause that occurs as a result.
The decision to have prophylactic oophorectomy is a challenging and difficult one with no clearly right or wrong answer. It comes down to a personal choice you alone can make, but advice from a genetic counselor, a breast health specialist or a gynecologic oncologist can help you make a more informed decision.
Questions to ask your doctor or other health care provider include:
Determining whether prophylactic oophorectomy is right for you — and when it might be right for you — depends on your individual risk of cancer and how aggressive you want to be in your cancer prevention efforts.

- Full Description
In this third volume of his modern introduction to quantum field theory, Eberhard Zeidler examines the mathematical and physical aspects of gauge theory as a principle tool for describing the four fundamental forces which act in the universe: gravitative, electromagnetic, weak interaction and strong interaction. Volume III concentrates on the classical aspects of gauge theory, describing the four fundamental forces by the curvature of appropriate fiber bundles. This must be supplemented by the crucial, but elusive quantization procedure. The book is arranged in four sections, devoted to realizing the universal principle force equals curvature: Part I: The Euclidean Manifold as a ParadigmPart II: Ariadne's Thread in Gauge TheoryPart III: Einstein's Theory of Special RelativityPart IV: Ariadne's Thread in Cohomology For students of mathematics the book is designed to demonstrate that detailed knowledge of the physical background helps to reveal interesting interrelationships among diverse mathematical topics. Physics students will be exposed to a fairly advanced mathematics, beyond the level covered in the typicalphysics curriculum. Quantum Field Theory builds a bridge between mathematicians and physicists, based on challenging questions about the fundamental forces in the universe (macrocosmos), and in the world of elementary particles (microcosmos).

The StingRay armed with dual humbuckers and an ultrafast Sterling neck.
The Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4-String HH Electric Bass is constructed with a select hardwood body, select maple neck, Schaller BM tuners, and a 3-band active EQ. This version offers dual Music Man humbucking pickups with 5-way switching for an even greater range of sound.
Few basses are as flat-out cool or have as much powerful tone as the famous StingRay. When it was introduced in 1976, it was the first bass to feature active electronics. Advances such as a 6-bolt neck joint, contoured body, superior neck truss rod system, and rock-solid bridge keep the StingRay Slo Special bass in an exclusive collection of high-end basses.
The Sterling neck is a thinner profile than the standard StingRay, so you can fly up and down the neck at lightning speed. The comfort pays for itself.
Order today and love the Sting!

Comments about Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4 String HH Electric Bass:
I'm somewhat spoiled because I normally play a P/J Fender bass that I built myself out of custom parts, and spent years setting it up. I call it "the beast" and I have yet to pick up a bass off of a music store rack that even came close. Well, after playing it for a few gigs now, I can say this MusicMan comes close. Whether it be rock, funk, country, jazz, or R&B, This bass holds its own. Make no doubt about it - it doesn't sound like the Fender, no matter what posittion you put the pickup selection switch in. But, that's why I bought it - to get all the other sounds that I couldn't get out of the Fender. I always liked the Stingray bodies, but didn't care for the necks. Well, the neck on this Slo Special is different. It's not as narrow as a Fender jazz neck, but it's definitely a more comfortable and faster neck than a Fender P bass or standard Stingray. It came with .045 G string set. That's a tad lighter than I normally use, so Im anxious to see what a .050 G string set will sound like on it. Some players don't like to "funk" on the heavier string sets, but I like the way they sound and play, and have since learned to pop and slap just fine on them. I bet they will sound great on this MusicMan. If they don't, I'll re-post about it. Oh yeah, the one I bought has the maple kneck, and it still sounds fat with a lot of sustain. Plus, it has the crisp attack of a maple neck. It ain't a cheap bass by any means, but it's definitely worth the money. I did a minor amount of tweaking on it out of the box, but other than that, it was ready to go. This might not be the bass you want if you are a beginner or haven't been playing long. But, a seasoned player will really appreciate this bass. And, this one did come with a case.
Comments about Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4 String HH Electric Bass:
I have owned this bass since July 2011.I have been playing bass guitar for 44 years and usually played a Fender AmericanPrecision or Jazz. I play blues,classic rock, and am doing some Indie rock now. The past five years I have depended on my Fender American Jazz Deluxe which never failed me. I saw this slo special in a Columbus guitar store and tried it out. I couldn't believe the sound of this baby and the neck was awesome. The neck does not have a lacquered finish on it and is really fast and smooth without any drag. I went back home and ordered this in the beautiful color of Black Cherry Sunburst which I had to wait a month since it was backordered in this color. I received it in great shape in a hardshell case and proceeded to unplug my Jazz and hooked this baby up to my Ampeg SVT VR with 8-10 speaker cab and I couldn't believe my ears.This bass rocks and the tone is awesome.All of my bandmates were impressed with the sound and quality of this bass and I am gigging weekly with it. This is my main bass now and I hate to say it but I haven't plucked the old Jazz since.I highly recommend this instrument.
5 band pickup switch is awesome and I love the unlacqured neck. The dual humbuckers speak for themselves.
Beautiful instrumentand neck and frets are great. Intonation up and down the neck is precise right out of the box.
It is an awesome instrument and was well worth it to me.
Comments about Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4 String HH Electric Bass:
wow,a stingray with a sterling neck sweet,my is all phantom black lol,single pickup,mine saids custom made,maybe somebody order this bass,this one for some reasons the treble just right the bass is thunder siriously,i bought at guitar center,the neck i think is graphite with rosewood fret top,amazing bass i will not sell this one,i must it had about 100 basses,stingrays fender jazz this is the one,i wonder if they made anymore like this one?
Comments about Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4 String HH Electric Bass:
I always loved the Stingray body style and sound, but the neck was just too thick and wide for me. I own a number of Music Man Sterlings because they have the most comfortable neck on any bass I've ever played/owned (which is virtually every brand). However, while I love the Sterlings, there was something about the Stingray's classic body shape and use of Alnico magnets in the pickups (Sterlings use Ceramic which are "hotter" and more modern sounding) that I always wanted to have. When Music Man came out with a Stingray with the Sterling neck (i.e., this SLO Special), they combined the best of both worlds. Such a smart move by the company to recognize the desirability of this configuration. I own the SLO Special HS version. The classic Music Man look and sound with a neck that never is a struggle to play. Also, unlike some other brands that put a heavy gloss on the back of the neck (which seems nice at first but turns out to cause terrible "thumb drag"), the Stingray has the awesome wax/oil combination which give Music Man necks that characteristic unfinished wood feel that makes playing all night long effortless and comfortable. Another nice thing about the Stingray compared to the Sterling is that it has more space between the neck pickup and fretboard (and one less fret) so that slapping/popping is easier. This is really the ideal bass and it is highly recommended. It is a bit heavy like all Stingrays, but the comfort you'll experience with the Sterling neck and a nice place to rest your thumb on the dual pickups more than makes up for it.

Last night at the Baltimore Comedy Factory, Baltimore Sun sports columnist Peter Schmuck hosted a roast of former mayor Sheila Dixon that featured radio guys like Marc Steiner, Kirk McEwan, and Konan, political figures, and local comedians taking turns lashing out at the mayor—and each other—with proceeds to benefit Agape House, a charity the former mayor has championed.
Schmuck, who would later be called a "fat bastard," among other things, opened up the roast, attended by about 100 people, by telling Dixon to prepare for "the worst 90 minutes of community service of your life." For her part, the former mayor sat in a cushy office chair onstage, smiling and laughing throughout the onslaught, taking notes for her rebuttal.
Former City Council candidate Devon Brown quoted scripture: ""God helps those who help themselves"—and you helped yourself." Schmuck suggested she pined for the old days, of "free snow-plowing and shopping trips with Imelda Marcos." One comedian claimed she had "more fur coats than Ray Lewis."
Comedienne Maria Sanchez submitted some of the harshest barbs, handing Dixon a bag of gift cards and making fun of her overbite ("Were you sucking your thumb when those charges came out?") and her bright orange shirt and black pants: "You look like the Oriole bird—oh, wait, is that your new job?" She also referred to current mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake as Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, greedily rubbing her hands together in anticipation as Dixon went down.
Steiner went pretty easy on Dixon, though he did point out the Lexus SUV she arrived in. He saved his toughest comments for WYPR, the station that pushed him off the air in 2008 (read the back story here) and Dan Rodricks, the Sun columnist who took over his afternoon talk show slot, referring to "that other station that I helped start, where that fat guy took my show." (Not for nothing, but, to our eyes, Rodricks and Steiner have a similar girth).
There were frequent references to the fact that Dixon's probation ends in 2013 and that she could, theoretically, run for mayor again. "Heck Marion Barry did it," said McEwan. "And you didn't even smoke crack—or, if you did, at least it's not on tape." Comedian Greg Poole continued the riff: "Marion Barry could kill a man in broad daylight and stay in office."
The event's organizer, Richard Siegel, was the last to roast Dixon, with a parody of "Don't Worry Be Happy": "You got your looks, you got your style/ You got to play xbox once in a while."
At the end, Dixon gave her own rebuttal, suggesting that many of the comedians need to find other jobs. As for Sanchez, who had appeared in a t-shirt and sweatpants, with her hair in a frazzled ponytail, Dixon said, "Honey, I am a gift from God, I am going to take you to my hairdresser—and I'm going to pay for the gift card."
With things winding down, reflecting on all the slings and arrows she had taken over the course of the evening, many about her misconduct in office, Dixon added, "Maybe when this is all over, I can really tell the truth," she said. "I can't wait to tell everything."

[edited by: tedster at 2:01 pm (utc) on Oct 23, 2012]
Let me preface this by confessing that I was recently the victim of a major malware attack on my system. A really nasty Trojan got by my defenses and wreaked
havoc on my system. If it were not for and a program called ComboFix, I would have had to reformat the system which I really didn't want to do. To make a
long story short, it is not an experience you want to be plagued with. It took just over 48 hours to recover and over a hundred system scans during that time
period. Hey, this was something new to me and I learned each time I had to reboot.
So, now that I have additional protection at work, I'm finding some things that are rather disturbing; the detection of malicious IPs when clicking links to
third party sites. Yes, that's right, my new protection seems to be a bit more robust than what I previous had. I have a feeling that I've been infected for
longer than I suspect. And for those thinking that I may still be infected, think again. I'm now running full system scans on a regular basis and of course
have all additional real time stuff at play. I wasn't so vigilant previously. All it takes is for me to get bit once and I'm making changes.
Back to the topic. In the past few days, I've visited websites and clicked on one of their external links which was blocked due to being a malicious IP.
Those links are no longer available to me for safety purposes so I don't have to worry about clicking them again. But I got to thinking, how much of this is
going on with your external links? Have you checked ALL of your outbounds to ensure that they are malicious IP free? Are you 100% certain? Could it be
possible that many folks complaining of major losses in traffic are victims of their own outbound links?
The sites I visited and clicked on external links are well known industry news sites. I have this sneaky suspicion that many folks are unprotected against
stuff like this and they don't see the malicious IP warnings. I'm going to be paying very close attention to this moving forward. I went to Mom's house after
recovering my system. She too was infected with 9 Trojans that her existing security software did not detect. Why? Because two of the Trojans were security
disablers. She was wondering why her Internet Security kept going off and would turn it back on. Only to find it go off again shortly thereafter. Scary stuff
folks. She now has the same protection I do. :)
P.S. I was hit with a RootKit Trojan. That one initiated other RootKits which in turn wreaked total havoc on my system. It disabled all of the protection I
had in place which was a bit more than average, or at least I thought it was. Be careful out there.
