Giving Voice: Poet Duriel Harris
Sep 05, 2006 — Poet Duriel Harris teaches at St. Lawrence University in Canton NY, and is one of many artists exploring "do-it-yourself" studio technology as a way to deepen the impact of her work. In this edition of Giving Voice she creates richly-textured soundscapes of music, sampled sound, and vocal effects to amplify the power of her words. She characterizes her work as po-mo funk, po-mo for post-modern, and funk for--well--funk. We'll listen to two of her studio compositions, "Living Body," from her collection Drag, and "Self Portrait at the Millennium," as well as a sample from a live performance. Host Dale Hobson talks with the poet about working in new media, and about working in collaboration. Go to full article

A Chorus of Mission Statements Retreats, Circles and Vision Quests |
Kindred Spirits Origin MythFrom the beginning, the two were always one -- only back and forth, in and out, like the tides. When the one becomes two -- like heaven and earth, man and woman -- the whole remains one in the mists of twilight, the breath of the seahorse, the cries of the shaman, the laughter of the sacred clown, and the oracles of Hermaphrodite. By the time we aqppeared on their televisions and movie screens, they called us "transgender". Our shapeshifting both intrigued and confounded. Our naked truth both shocked and awakened -- that we were them and they were us. That we were re-emerging as their parents and children, their friends and neighbors, their healers and teachers, artists and wizards -- that we were everywhere. In that place and time, we began gathering from the four corners. We shared our joy and pain, our self-discoveries and visions of community. We began to reclaim our honor and rightful place among the human beings. But something was missing. The trans people couldn't remember their higher calling. They were just swapping between two genders. And so a faery appeared unto them from across the eastern sea and asked them, "What gender am I ?" "Neither", they said. "And am I of spirit or flesh?" "Both", they said. "You are of my tribe", said the faery. "We are kindred spirits. Follow me to the Hall of Sunnybank, and there we will rejoin our sacred circle." It was in the year of their lord 1993, nestled in the oldest mountains on Earth, that 13 kindred spirits joined their laughter and tears in holy revelation. "I remember you", they all said. "But do we remember who we are ?" And as their campfire glowed more deeply, they did remember. "We are family. We are the clan who has lost our name — even our pronouns. How can we rekindle our visions and share them with the world ?" At that moment, a swift hawk swooped in from the western desert, knelt before them, and sang a song in a foreign tongue that could only be felt — not understood. The hawk sang: "Your ancestors welcome you home. Your energy is needed now in the world, to help restore balance and harmony. Your lineage is older than the fall of Adam and Eve, so you can help them. Show the men and the women how they are one, and remind them that they are one with all beings. You have the power. Heal each other, and as you do so, go forth and help heal the world." |

White House pushes economic 'to do' list for Congress
The White House is increasing its push for Congress to act on building the U.S. economy.
The push comes as the administration is touting it's "We Can't Wait" initiative, which centers on the administration pushing legislation and programs through without "waiting" for congressional lawmakers to take action.
The administration on Tuesday outlined five initiatives that they said "have bipartisan support and at this make-or-break moment for the middle class."
The tasks included in the "to do list" were to reward American jobs and eliminate tax incentives to ship jobs overseas, allow for "responsible" homeowners to refinance, give higher tax credits for small businesses, invest in clean energy and returning veterans to work with the skills they've already established.

Bigger, better, "only in Dubai" all describe this desert oasis! Your exploration will begin with Palm Island, an artificial island created with reclaimed soil. The "trunk" and "fronds" are home to a large number of residential, leisure, and entertainment centers. You will stop to marvel at the Atlantis the Palm. The resort is modeled after the Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in Nassau, Bahamas. One of the top activities of the locals is shopping. Your journey will take you to Mall of the Emirates, the ultimate leisure, entertainment and shopping resort. This is the home of Ski Dubai, the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East. Ski Dubai is a unique mountain-themed attraction that will offer you the opportunity to enjoy real snow in Dubai any time of year. Only in Dubai! Visit Souk Al Bahar (market of the sailor), an Arabesque shopping mall and entertainment destination located in the heart of the prestigious Burj Khalifa Downtown, on the Old Town Island. The center attraction here is Burj Khalifa, the tallest building of the world. This stunning building is over 2,625 feet tall with more than 160 stories. When you journey to the top of Burj Khalifa you will know that no building in modern history has aroused so much curiosity and intrigue as it has. From your vantage point on the 124th floor, you will experience first-hand this modern architectural and engineering marvel and know at last what it is like to see the world from such a lofty height. Following the descent from this amazing vantage point, you will have time to wander through Old Town Island before departing for the airport.
Departing the pier, you will take in some of the elements and sights that have typified the city - starting with ISKCON; the amazing temple of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Then, even if you are not possessed with an interest in other people's dirty laundry, you'll be fascinated by Dhobi Ghat a facet of this city, which literally translates as washerman's quay. The secret that keeps this operation running smoothly is a coded symbol that each dhobi-wallah (washerman) places on every item. Invisible to the untrained eye, this mark ensures nothing is lost. You will proceed to the next highlight, Mani Bhawan, driving past the Turf Club and Bombay Race Course. Mani Bhawan was Gandhi's home between 1917 and 1934. You will see a letter to Hitler asking him not to go to war, along with correspondence with Roosevelt, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Your journey will then take you towards Mumbai's downtown area along Art Deco Marine Drive. Visit the Prince of Wales Museum,built in a confluence of Gothic and Moorish styles, and crowned by a sparkling white dome. The chief attraction here will be the collection of over 2,000 miniature paintings from the various art schools of India. You will return to the yacht making a photo stop at the Gateway of India, the city's most famous landmark – an Indo-Saracenic archway built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. Located along the seafront opposite the iconic TajMahal Hotel, it was also conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on P&O steamers from England.
Your first stop today will be in the popular middle class settlement of Dadar at the venerated Guruvayurand Ram Temple Complex. The temple, constructed in South Indian style, has a majestic upper complex containing five sacred gold plated urns. You will see the impressive three-spired Swaminarayan Mandir (or temple) erected out of pink sandstone in traditional architectural style with intricate carving. Following your Hindu exposure, you will make your way downtown along the waterfront, passing Haji Ali Mosque and tomb, the city's most recognized landmark. A splendid example of Indo Islamic architecture, Haji Ali Dargah was built in 1431 in memory of this wealthy Muslim merchant who renounced worldly possession.There are three grades of sacred fire temples. The most exalted is Atash Bahram or `Fire of Victory'created by bringing together 16 different fires. You will see the oldest sacred fire in Bombay installed in 1709 and housed in the Bomanji Wadia Fire Temple in Princess Street. As a non-Parsee, you will see the temple from the outside. On your lunch break, you will get to sample some favorite street food, recreated in the Sea Lounge restaurant at the iconic Taj Mahal Hotel. Bombay's original Jews, known as the Bene Israel Community,are believed to be descendants of seven Jewish families, shipwrecked while fleeing persecution in Galilee around the second century B.C. You will see several of their city landmarks including Eliyahoo Synagogue and Flora Fountain. The Anglican Church made its presence felt with the coming of the British in 1661. Your stop at St.Thomas' Cathedral will show you a mixture of sequential styles culminating in a Gothic tower and clock added in 1838, in addition to a chancel and elegant fountain. The Cathedral containing fine stained glass windows and choice objects of worship was selected for UNESCO's Asia Pacific Conservation Award. You will finish your tour with a short walk back to the yacht.
Drive to the Gateway of India, the city's most famous landmark – an Indo-Saracenic archway built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. Located along the seafront opposite the iconic Taj Mahal Hotel, it was also conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on P&O steamers from England. From the Gateway pier, you will board a local launch for a one hour cruise across the harbor to Elephanta Island. Located some four miles from the city, its original name was Gharapuri or Fortress City, which later changed to Elephanta by the Portuguese who found a large stone elephant near the landing place. Within the main rock-cut temple, probably dating from between 450 to 750 A.D., are found large sculptured panels, the most interesting of which is the three-headed Shiva shown as the Creator, the Preserver and the Destroyer. Other Shiva panels, includes one of the God dancing the `tandava' and thereby causing the world to shake!
Mangalore is a hilly South Indian town, rarely visited by foreigners, with a quaint mix of old and new. Your tour will begin in a great local scene…at the popular Gokarnath Temple, dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Devotees of this temple belong to the industrious Billora community, who were traditionally suppressed by upper castes, treating them as untouchables. Walking around you will encounter the typical lifestyle, commerce, local activity, and the marketplace surrounding the temple. Contrast the hustle and bustle of Gokarnath with the Chapel St. Aloysius on Lighthouse Hill, which has remarkable 19th century frescoes by Italian masters, depicting the life of Christ. Next you will visit a cashew nut processing plant. Your morning will end at Belmont House, an old Mangalorean tiled-roofed mansion with striking architecture, open spaces, and tropical gardens. Your hosts, the Peres family, traditional coffee planters, have lived here for generations and will welcome you with refreshments and local delicacies prepared from old family recipes.
Start your tour with a visit to Karkala, where you will see a 41-foot tall statue engraved from a single stone and erected in 1432 alongside a temple in honor of the great prince Bahubali or "the one with strong shoulders." Travel on to Moodbidri, where you will see another masterpiece of the industrious Jain community which became an offshoot of Hinduism. Commissioned by King Devaraja Woodeyar in 1430 A.D., this striking temple has 1,000 pillars, no two of which are alike. Interspersed between these two highlights you will have a refreshment stop at Soan's Farm, started by the Swiss – German Basel Missionary society in 1926. Alfred Soans made innovative changes to a dry laterite soil and with inter cropping and better water management farmed superior qualities of upland rice, coconut, arecanut, banana, chilies, ginger, tapioca, mango and spices like clove, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom. Most famous are his Soan pineapples, which you will get to sample.
On this tour you will drive approximately 10 miles out of the city towards the rural district of Pilikula in the Western Ghats, recognized as one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world and home to several rare plants. Your destination will be the nondescript Moodushedde tribal village, surrounded by coconut groves and acacia plantations, typifying a South Indian rural setting. The Kambala race track hosts an age-old folk sport of buffalo racing and you will visit Nagabana, a shrine where the snake god is worshiped. This artisan village has been encouraged by non-governmental organizations to protect, preserve and sustain traditional livelihoods and art forms that were gradually being faced with extinction. You will meet blacksmiths, potters, and weavers at work. Observe wood and stone carving practices, the making of beaten rice, oil extraction, and the crafting of cane and bamboo products. You will visit Guthu Mane, a traditional mansion of coastal landlords, with its elaborately carved columns and ceilings, for a refreshment break and demonstrations of sari and dhoti (the men's dress) tying and the application of henna, popular during weddings and big occasions. Return to Mangalore for a contrasting encounter in Hampankatta, the center of town and the main market place to get lost in silks, handlooms, spices, jewelry, sandalwood, fruits, vegetables, and really anything one can think off. Located in "downtown" Mangalore about a half hour from the pier this colorful experience epitomizes the sights, sounds, smells and all that is South Indian. Together with your Mangalorean guide you will venture through its streets, lanes and by-lanes before returning to your yacht.
Leaving Cochin, you will drive through a lush tropical countryside to the main backwater township, called Alleppey. Arriving at the Alleppey jetty, you will board a private boat for a cruise exploring Kerala's famous backwaters. Sail along palm fringed canals and lakes, passing little creeks where tiny settlements of thatched houses nestle below palm trees on diminutive patches of land. The waterways are teeming with dragon shaped dugouts with graceful sails, and covered boats transporting copra and cashew nuts from local villages to the ports. You will stop at villages and see the traditional lifestyle of the inhabitants of the backwaters. Following the cruise, you will arrive at the Lake Palace Resort for lunch. Depart for Fort Cochin for an overview of Chinese fishing nets before returning to the yacht.
Your tour today will be to the village of Vaikom into the heart of the Kerala lifestyle, surrounded by paddy fields, cashew farms, narrow canals, and coconut and banana plantations.

At the community center for women's employment you will see khadi being woven in the traditional way using handspun cotton yarn, while the men get busy in the coconut oil extracting factory. See the nearby local school, a good example of the state's initiative into achieving a 100 percent literacy rate. An important aspect of Vaikom's landscape is its narrow canals which you will explore in local canoes coming face to face with the local people as they go about their daily chores. Your lunch (catered by the 5-star Brunton Boatyard Resort) will be served in the cool gardens of a local home, set in the heart of the village.
Today you will drive to the Silk Route trading post of Fort Cochin, these days a `Heritage Zone.'. Walk around Cochin and see the Chinese fishing nets constructed out of teakwood and bamboo poles, they work on a principle of balance. Visit the St. Francis Church, originally built in 1510. Portuguese hero Vasco Da Gama died on the site and was buried in the cemetery. Later, you will drive to Mattancherry to visit the Dutch Palace built in 1557 by the Portuguese as a gift for the Maharaja of Cochin in exchange for trading rights. The striking feature of the palace is a series of murals painted on wooden walls. You will stop by the Pardesi Synagogue, at the heart of what is locally called Jew town, lined with Spice and Antique stores. The synagogue is an experience of light and airiness accented in its flooring of 18th century hand painted blue Cantonese ceramic tiles. With its collection of great scrolls of the Old Testament, it is very possible that this community shared strong links with the Babylonian Jews. After a refreshment stop, you will return to the yacht.

PhysX and APEX support for PlayStation 4

PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4
support for the PlayStation is nothing new. Considering the PlayStation 3 had a NVIDIA card, it was natural that PhysX support would be in there.
PlayStation 4
uses a Radeon graphics component from AMD so not a NVIDIA product here. Even so, NVIDIA has announced that the PlayStation 4 will have PhysX and APEX support.
PhysX gives you some things such as really cool particle effects, clothing, and fluids that move realistically. I use it on a few games on the PC and it really adds to the visuals of a game. APEX is for things such as destructible objects, cloth interactions, and in general adds more realism.
Having PhysX on a non-NVIDIA console is nothing new though as the Xbox 360 has an AMD graphics component, but still has PhysX support. This is just NVIDIA re-affirming that the games coming for the next Sony console will have the ability to use PhysX and APEX for more life like eye candy.
NVIDIA Announces PhysX and APEX Support for Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation®4
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—March 7, 2013—NVIDIA today announced support for Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation®4 with the popular NVIDIA® PhysX® and NVIDIA® APEX® software development kits (SDKs).
Game designers use PhysX and APEX technologies for collision detection and simulation of rigid bodies, clothing, fluids, particle systems and more across a wide range of platforms, including desktop PCs, game consoles, and mobile and handheld devices.
NVIDIA PhysX technology is the world's most pervasive physics solution for designing real-time, real-world effects into interactive entertainment titles. The PhysX development environment gives developers unprecedented control over the look of their final in-game interactivity.
Taking PhysX technology content creation to the next level, NVIDIA APEX technology lets artists create intricate physics-enabled environments. They can expand the quantity and visual quality of destructible objects; make smoke and other particle-based fluids integral to game play; and create life-like clothing that interacts with the character's body to achieve more realism in their games.
"Great physics technology is essential for delivering a better gaming experience and multiplatform support is critical for developers," said Mike Skolones, product manager for PhysX at NVIDIA. "With PhysX and APEX support for PlayStation®4, customers can look forward to better games."
NVIDIA PhysX and APEX technologies are designed to run on a variety of CPU architectures and can be accelerated by any CUDA® architecture-enabled NVIDIA GPU, GeForce 8-series or higher.

RateBeer Archives > Fun & Humour Beer Hunting in the Bizarro WorldThe Bizarro Beer Hunt
March 31, 2004
Manchester, NEW HAMPSHIRE - Like everyone who is infatuated with beer, I've always wanted to taste the elusive big three of the beer world: Budweiser, Miller and Coors.
The holy trinity of beer has always been spoken about in hushed tones in beer circles, with most beer hunters agreeing that they don't exist or haven't been made for years. One fateful night I decided that I was going to find these beers and drink them. Perhaps this would be a fools errand, as acquiring these beers would be difficult at best, and I would surely be spoiled for life should I taste them. It didn't matter, I had a quest and off I went.
I was unable to find anyone on RateBeer that had access to these beers. I also noticed that most people I contacted about these beers seemed to mysteriously disappear after chatting with them edgeworth_m, mittenstein, Jake Barnes. My email was starting to fill up with cryptic messages such as, Stop seeking that which you will never drink". This only further fueled my curiously.
I soon arrived at Big Ass Liquors, the biggest beer store in the East Coast, to seek these rare brews. Rows of corked Belgian beers were being snatched up by college kids wanting a cheap buzz. Other kids where buying kegs of Dark Lord for big blow outs, while the truly desperate could only afford the Barrel Aged Speedway Stout.
I asked the store manager about Budweiser. He looked at me with a puzzled face, "That stuff doesn't exist. You've been reading too many fairy tales." Two monks wheeling in a pallet of Trappist beers overheard this and laughed at me as they walked by. I was depressed by his words and the mocking monks. Shuffling out of the store, I walked past a large Westvleteren truck that was delivering a shipment of the swill for the kids. The familiar Westvleteren oil-wrestling bikini-team was plastered on the side of the truck and even they didn't cheer me up. I then stopped and faced the truck to see a can of Budweiser perched between the two seats. "Bastards! Keeping the good stuff for themselves while pawning off their crap to everyone else," I thought. I grabbed a rock, threw it through the truck window, and snatched the precious can.
I got back home and had an email message waiting: Volgon, I found a can of Miller that I am willing to trade. However it will cost you dearly. I require three bottles of beer for it. A Moosehead, a Labatts, and a Molson.
My reply: Where am I going to get those?! Who are you?
He answered: You'll find a way. I need to have them delivered to me in twenty minutes, and it doesn't matter who I am.
I panicked and wrote to the one man who could help me: Oakes. He said he would dig deep into his stash and get me these gems, under one condition - he was to be present at the tasting. I agreed and added, "Send them at least second class, he wants them in ten minutes!"
Twenty minutes later I had a horrible feeling that I'd been played for a fool. What if the mystery man never sent the beer? How could I ever pay Oakes back? Just then a US Post Office Corvette slid to a screeching halt in my driveway. "Your beer, sir," he said while handing me a package.
I carefully placed the Miller next to the Bud in my refrigerator. The desire to drink both of these beauties was overwhelming, but I only had one more beer to go.
Blinding pain flashed across the back of my head. I fell to the ground and saw two huge thugs with 3 liter bottles in their hands. "We told you not to look for it." Again the bottle came crashing down on my head. I got up and saw the two men, ready to leave. "He learned his lesson," one chuckled. Then it became clear: They didn't want to steal my newfound treasures, but stop me from getting the fabled can of Coors. I rose with the strength of a thousand men and snatched the bottles from their hands and cracked them against their heads. Both bottles were smashed into thousands of pieces. I knew that these two had the secret to the location of Coors, but unfortunately they were both dead. I looked at the shattered glass on my floor. One large piece was left. It read You are worthy and had a gargoyle on it.
Instantly, I knew that the reclusive CEO of Stone Brewing, Greg Koch, was behind this. Stone was always known for mediocre barley wines, imperial stouts and IIPA's that people had been making for decades, but recently they were developing lemon and lime drinks that were taking over the nation. Minutes later I was at the airport getting a ticket to San Diego.
Because of my bloodied face, airport security let me right though, "You look like you are in a hurry! Here get on this private jet".
His goons were waiting for me as I landed in California. They wasted no time in beating me into submission and drove me back to his underground lair to face his wrath. He sat in front of a large desk that faced a television set that was at least 20 feet wide. On the desk sat a can of Coors.
"Hahahaha! Foolish Mortal! You'll never drink this beer!!" he cackled.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because if a beer hunter tasted this great beer, then everyone would want beers like it. Then what would I do with all these lemons and limes?" He pointed to two baskets of lemons and limes in the corner of the room.
He had me there.
He started to ponder out loud about my demise. He mumbled about sharks with laser beams, drowning in a vat full of Rodenbach Grand Cru and other cruel endings. I had to act now. I grabbed the TV remote control from his desk.
"Arrggghh!! The TV doesn't work without the remote. Guards, stop him!" His goons where charging towards me, and I managed to hit the ON button before they snatched it away from me. The hit show Friends was just starting.
"Boss, wha'd'ya done with dis guy? Boss? Boss?"
Greg was in a daze staring at his TV. His eyes were glazed over and he was lost in another world. "Hmmm, Monica," he moaned.
Soon the guards also became emerged in the rich world of Friends, and I slowly grabbed the can off the desk and quietly walked out of the room. The private plane was waiting for me when I got back to the airport.
Oakes: The tasting is this Thursday at your place. The rest of you poor suckers are going to have to wait and read the reviews of these treasures of the beer world. Well, unless you can score a can of Pabst. I hear that it isn't made anymore... ................................................................

Another Coup for Edsall
Less than a week after top running back Wes Brown decided to stay at home and commit to Maryland, Coach Randy Edsall has struck gold… twice. Friendship Collegiate's Albert Reid made his intentions known - and he's decided to also stay close to home and attend Maryland.
The 2011 D.C Gatorade Player of the Year had offers from Iowa, Cincinnati, Duke, Stanford and Vanderbilt, he verbally committed to West Virginia in June, but the Terps swooped in during a November blitz and made Reid an offer he couldn't refuse.
"I chose them because at Maryland I wanted to major in mechanical engineering and it has one of the top engineering programs in the nation," Reid said. "Not only that, but because I think they're up and coming and they are going to start something big there and Coach [Randy] Edsall is getting good players and they'll get better."
Reid had over 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns for the 9-1 Knights. He averaged 7.6 yards/game on 225 carries in 10 games for the 7th Ranked team in the area.

Fanny Ardant
Fanny Ardant | |
Fanny Ardant at the 2004 César awards ceremony.
Born | Fanny Marguerite Judith Ardant 22 March 1949 Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France |
Occupation | Actress |
Years active | 1974–present |
Partner(s) | Dominique Leverd (1975) 1 daughter François Truffaut (1983) 1 daughter Fabio Conversi (1990) 1 daughter |
Fanny Marguerite Judith Ardant (born 22 March 1949) is a French actress. She has appeared in more than fifty motion pictures since 1976. Ardant won the César Award for Best Actress in 1997 for her performance in Pédale douce.
Early life[edit]
Ardant was born in Saumur Maine-et-Loire, France, to a military attaché father.[1] She grew up in Monaco until age 17 when she moved to Aix-en-Provence to study at the Institut d'études politiques d'Aix-en-Provence. In her early twenties her interest turned to acting and in 1974 she made her first appearance on stage.
By the early 1980s she was a major motion picture star, gaining international recognition for her role opposite Gérard Depardieu in La Femme d'à côté (The Woman Next Door).[2] The film, directed by François Truffaut, brought Ardant her first César Award nomination for best actress in 1982 and in 1984 she was nominated again for Vivement dimanche!. Eventually she became Truffaut's companion, giving birth to their daughter, Joséphine Truffaut, on 28 September 1983. Initially, her youthful beauty brought popularity but over time her sophistication and acting skills have made her one of France's most admired actresses.[3] She proved her versatility, playing a comedic role in Pédale douce for which she won the 1997 César Award for Best Actress.
Fluent in English and Italian, Ardant has starred in several Hollywood and British films. Her most recent English-language film was the Franco Zeffirelli production Callas Forever, in which she portrayed opera diva Maria Callas. It opened the 14th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival on 9 January 2003. In 2003, Ardant received the Stanislavsky Award at the 25th Moscow International Film Festival (for the outstanding achievement in the career of acting and devotion to the principles of Stanislavsky's school).[4]
In 2009, she became a director and screenwriter, with Cendres et sang (Ashes and Blood). She also took part in a rare performance of Sardou's La Haine on 19 July 2009 at the Festival de Radio France et Montpellier Languedoc Roussillon, with Gérard Depardieu, the concert broadcast on France Musique.[5]
In 2011, she starred in the music video for Elle me dit, the first French single by British singer Mika, and appeared in the play based on Joan Didion's 2005 novel The Year of Magical Thinking in the Théâtre de l'Atelier, Paris.
In 2013, she made a cameo appearance as herself in The Great Beauty.[6]
She once expressed admiration for Renato Curcio, ex leader of the militant Red Brigades (Brigate Rosse), saying that it was good of him to adhere to his principles. She later discovered that it would be difficult to attend a film festival in Venice, as her declaration had created much scandal in Italy.[7] The Governor of Veneto said that he would prefer that Ardant not visit his region. She then pleaded for forgiveness from victims of terrorism.[8][9]

Remove a rusted trailer hitch with penetrating fluid and an air chisel, not a sledgehammer. It's easier and won't bend or break anything.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine
Generously spray the opening to the hitch receiver with a penetrating fluid. Then insert the spray straw deep into the corners of the receiver and spray liberally.
Rap the sides, top and bottom of the hitch receiver for 15 seconds with blows from the air hammer. Spray again. Repeat the rapping until the ball mount loosens.
Air chisel and hammer bit
When the ball mount on your trailer hitch is rusted in place, don't whack at it with a sledgehammer. Here's what to do instead. Buy a can of CRC Freeze Off penetrating spray and an air chisel fitted with a "hammer bit." The air chisel will run about $15 and the extra bit will be about $8. Spray the opening to the hitch receiver. This newest style of penetrating fluid chills the metal, causing it to contract to help break the rust seal. Then use an air chisel fitted with a hammer bit to knock everything loose. The air hammer will break up the rust, spread the penetrant and free up the ball mount. Once it's free, just tap the rusted ball mount out with a hammer. If you plan to reuse the rusty mount, coat it with a rust converter or waterproof marine grease.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need an air chisel and hammer bit.

SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/27/2010 -- Tianhe-1A, a new supercomputer revealed today at HPC 2010 China, has set a new performance record of 2.507 petaflops, as measured by the LINPACK benchmark, making it the fastest system in China and in the world today1.
Tianhe-1A epitomizes modern heterogeneous computing by coupling massively parallel GPUs with multi-core CPUs, enabling significant achievements in performance, size and power. The system uses 7,168 NVIDIA® Tesla™ M2050 GPUs and 14,336 CPUs; it would require more than 50,000 CPUs and twice as much floor space to deliver the same performance using CPUs alone.
More importantly, a 2.507 petaflop system built entirely with CPUs would consume more than 12 megawatts. Thanks to the use of GPUs in a heterogeneous computing environment, Tianhe-1A consumes only 4.04 megawatts, making it 3 times more power efficient -- the difference in power consumption is enough to provide electricity to over 5000 homes for a year.
Tianhe-1A was designed by the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) in China. The system is housed at National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin and is already fully operational.
"The performance and efficiency of Tianhe-1A was simply not possible without GPUs," said Guangming Liu, chief of National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin. "The scientific research that is now possible with a system of this scale is almost without limits; we could not be more pleased with the results."
The Tianhe-1A supercomputer will be operated as an open access system to use for large scale scientific computations.
"GPUs are redefining high performance computing," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA. "With the Tianhe-1A, GPUs now power two of the top three fastest computers in the world today. These GPU supercomputers are essential tools for scientists looking to turbocharge their rate of discovery."
NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, based on the CUDA™ parallel computing architecture, are designed specifically for high performance computing (HPC) environments and deliver transformative performance increases across a wide range of HPC fields, including drug discovery, hurricane and tsunami modeling, cancer research, car design, even studying the formation of galaxies.

I found this fight on youtube. Dirrell looked good especially being laid off for a long time. He fought light heavy with heavy hands. He took his punches pretty well. It looks like he can make some noise in the division if he can stay active

The Dirrell brothers' relevance is dropping like shit after a chili cook-off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/no2.gif)
These dudes went from top contenders in line for a title shot, to fighting on Hispanic networks against no-hopers. I believe Anthony got into a motorcycle accident last January, but hell, before that, he had got caught up in that robbery crap, then that illness kept him out of the ring for a couple of years. That "injury" at the end of the Abraham fight, along with refusing to fight his friend Ward, pretty much sealed the deal for Andre. Dude needs to make some moves quickly. |

Today is the day before my birthday. It's early in the afternoon, and I've stayed home from work. I decided to gift myself with something rare these days: time alone. Time to breathe in familiar ways: through baking, Jane Austen and a pocket of the universe in which I can write. I got up early this morning and baked some cookies and brownies by myself. With Pride & Prejudice playing in the back, and now a little bit of time to write like I used to, I'm very, very happy.
I'm getting married soon. As in two-shakes-of-a-lamb's-tail soon. This is why I haven't had the chance to blog at all since Thanksgiving. In December of last year, on a trip up the California coast, Eric proposed to me at a lighthouse. It was the best, biggest surprise of my life.
"A wedding will consume you," an officemate warned me when the news broke at work that I was engaged. I had just gotten back to the office after the holidays, it was a new year, and someone had just asked me to marry him. I was in that fuzzy world you find yourself in when the axis of your life shifts a little bit, and I didn't believe her.
I didn't believe her even when Mama, after seeing the elaborate wedding timeline I set up on spreadsheets, told me, "You're a little bit nuts." (This was my mother after all, and it takes one to know one.)
I still even didn't believe that warning when, a couple of weeks after that, I collapsed on the couch after eight hours on my feet, exhausted and drained. Eric and I had just spent eight hours–EIGHT HOURS–registering for gifts, and all I could see when I shut my eyes were cutlery twirling around with china, and table napkins waltzing in the wind.
And even when, about four months in, I woke up in the middle of the night from a dream that they served fried grasshoppers at the reception, I STILL didn't believe that the my life had been given over to the wedding.
But today, the first time in 10 months that I've had the time to write anything for my blog, I'm no longer in denial. The wedding has won. It has taken me hostage with seating charts, tulle and pearls.
Maybe the battle hasn't been fierce because I've been a willing captive. When people ask me why I'm hand-making so many things (and I don't exaggerate when I say many) for the wedding, my automatic answer is, "Because I'm crazy." But the real answer is that I've been waiting for this all my life. I can write that out in other ways to try and bend the truth a little to give in to the closet feminist in me, but this is the only way to say it. There were many times in the many stories written for me by an unseen hand that I didn't think it would happen, but I always quietly hoped it would. I've been blessed with a chance to craft the life I've prepared for all these years. With the best crafter-in-crime my curls and I could hope for.
So you'll forgive me if I haven't been in touch lately. There's been a lot to do. There's still a lot to do. But that only means there will be lots to write about.
This morning, in the quiet of my new kitchen, my hair full of flour and my hands full of cookie dough, my apron smeared with chocolate and the smell of vanilla wafting from my warm oven, I was overcome with joy. I was where I'm meant to be. It's been a long time coming, but here I am.
Wish us luck for the rest of the journey. All the crafting is even more chaotic as the wedding draws near. But I'll be back. There's a whole life ahead to cook and craft for. The Girl With A Curl will see you on the other side.

Making it clear that he valued Bryan Colangelo's skills running the business side of a basketball team, new Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment president and CEO Tim Leiweke said the decision to relieve Colangelo of his basketball decisions, but retain him as team president was arrived at in large part because the two men had "a disagreement on the current status of the organization and this roster."
Speaking Tuesday on TSN Drive with Dave Naylor, Leiweke pulled no punches in saying he thought the team was not as close to being a contending team as Colangelo and others within MLSE who provided opposition to the decision thought they were.
"I guess I don't think that we're 'right there,'" Leiweke said. "I don't think we're a piece away. I think we have work to do.
"There was no consensus," he said regarding the decision to begin a search for a new GM. "There were a lot of people with a lot of opinions and a lot of different opinions. Clearly, I had to understand that I was going to make a decision that was not going to please all."
Leiweke said creating a management system where both president and GM report to him directly is not ideal, but not totally uncommon in the sports world.
He noted his previous structure in Los Angeles with the Kings was similar in that the president of business operations, Luc Robitaille and the president of hockey operations, Dean Lombardi both reported to him.
Still, Leiweke admitted it was not the way he would have liked to "draw it up" given a clean slate, but felt like it was the proper way to deal with things considering the situation.
He noted Colangelo's communication skills and ability to build relationships with sponsors as to why he would be successful in a business operations role.
"He's smart, he's intelligent, he's a good businessman and he's very passionate about the Raptors, very articulate, represents them well and he loves Toronto."
In a search for a new general manager, Leiweke said he would welcome Colangelo's input given his vast basketball knowledge and background and wouldn't rule out the possibility of having the new hire work with the former GM.
Leiweke also made it a point to mention that a "fresh face, with a fresh view of the world, with a fresh view of this roster, with a fresh view of what we need to do to be competitive long term" was something he felt the team was in need of.
Not naming any one player directly, he made a point of mentioning he thought Colangelo's judgment may have been hindered due to his former ties to his no. 1 overall draft pick in 2006, Andrea Bargnani.
"We need someone who is extremely rational when it comes to the roster and reaching conclusions as to who is going to work and who is not going to work," Leiweke said. "Sometimes you have to find a new set of eyes and a new opinion in order to judge a roster. Not be personal about a player because you chose him or you used the first pick in the first round to pick a player. Sometimes it's easier for a guy coming in that doesn't have that loyalty and doesn't have that burden of being the guy that made that decision. You reach a better conclusion at times about who needs to stay and who needs to go."
He said moving forward the goal is to create a team that is a perennial contender, not one that is simply looking to sneak into a playoff spot.
"First and foremost, we have to figure out a way to win, how to win consistently and how to win long term. I referred to it earlier today as being a 7/11 – good enough to maybe be in the seventh or eighth spot and make the playoffs, but never good enough to win."
In his search for a new head of basketball operations, Leiweke emphasized the importance of drafting and development and hiring someone who was capable of developing a team identity.
"We cannot make bad decisions with draft picks," he said, mentioning teams such as San Antonio and Oklahoma City as the models to strive towards. "The great organizations maximize their draft picks when they get them."
Despite the team's struggles, Leiweke said there are candidates that would welcome the chance to come to Toronto given MLSE's resources.
Still, besides finding a capable general manager, he thinks the bigger challenge will be changing the league-wide perception of the franchise.
"The Raptors reputation is one of people questioning what direction we're going in, what brand of basketball we play and what kind of personality are we going to have as an organization and we have to change that."

New York Is Blessed With One More Vermeer
Nothing entrances the painting lover like the work of Vermeer. At the time of Vermeer's early death, at the age of 43, in 1675, the silent Dutchman—silent because he left behind no writing, or even an identifiable self-portrait, and because most of his work is supremely un-rhetorical—had painted more than a dozen all time masterpieces.

Four experts in anesthesiology, infectious disease and pain medicine discussed the recent U.S. meningitis outbreak in the Late-Breaking Education Panel, "The Fungal Meningitis Crisis," on Sunday, Oct. 14. The panel attracted more than 500 attendees as part of the ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2012 annual meeting.
"As leaders in patient safety, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) remains attentive to the evolving situation," said ASA Chair of the Annual Meeting Committee Andrew D. Rosenberg, M.D.
The four distinguished panelists discussed various aspects of the meningitis outbreak including past compounding issues, how to diagnose and treat fungal meningitis and the purpose and safety of steroid injections. The experts spoke on:
"The goal of the panel was to present the facts and clarify any misperceptions concerning the outbreak of fungal meningitis," said ASA Chair of the Committee on Communications John F. Dombrowski, M.D., who also served as the moderator for the panel. "Steroid injections are safe, and as pain physicians, it is our responsibility to educate patients about the proper administration of interventional pain management techniques."
Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 50,000 members organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology. ASA is committed to ensuring that physician anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of patients before, during, and after surgery to provide the highest quality and safest care that every patient deserves.
