Lost Cause: Beck's Song Reader. Slate, December 6, 2012. A big piece I wrote about Beck for Slate, which also folds in Bing Crosby, the histories of sampling, remixing, recorded sound, tape machines, and more. Another piece which took a lot of hard thinking. It got some nice mentions at NPR, and at Grantland.
BASIC: Inside a Single Line of Code, a Labyrinth. Slate, November 30, 2012. A sprawling essay I wrote for Slate about an excellent and very odd book, which inspired me to think widely and strangely about art, vintage technology, the Commodore 64, my teenage years with BASIC, and more.
Music To Sleep To: Brian Eno's Lux, Reviewed. Slate, November 16, 2012. Brian Eno wrote to me shortly after this Slate piece came out, saying it was his favorite out of the pieces on Lux that had been published so far. "It made me right proud, it did," Eno told me, and said he was sending the piece to his friends.

For this story, I traveled across the country, got lost in the deep Vermont woods, hiked up the side of a steep hill on an unmarked trail, and interviewed a guy in his four-story-high hand-built geodesic dome for several hours. Was it worth it? Sure.

William Gibson on Why Sci-Fi Writers are Almost Always Wrong. Wired, September 13, 2012. Reprinted in Wired UK. When I was working at Wired, I would read old issues of Wired from the '90s and think how great it would be if Wired tried to engage as deeply and thoughtfully with culture as the magazine did back then. To this end, I sought out William Gibson, one of my favorite people, and did a massive interview with him. The trick: to talk with him about the history of recorded sound, punk rock, Internet memes, mechanical watches, etc., and not bore him with dull, predictable questions about when the Neuromancer movie was coming out. The response to the three-part interview was tremendous. I saw the interview cited everywhere. Bill was apparently quoted by South Korean political candidates, in part thanks to his comments in the third segment about "Gangnam Style." Boing Boing picked up the interview twice, excerpting it heavily, and Wired UK reprinted all three parts in full.
The Algorithmic Copyright Cops: Streaming Video's Robotic Overlords. Wired, September 6, 2012. This is probably one of the most important features I wrote in 2012, in terms of raising awareness and connecting the dots about an emerging copyright issue. This piece helped set off a wave of discussions at the EFF, Slashdot, Boing Boing, and other sites; articles on the subject in the New York Times, the Telegraph, and other newspapers soon followed.

Man Orders TV Through Amazon, Gets Assault Rifle. Wired, August 8, 2012. Another feature story I wrote for Threat Level, based on an insane fluke I found out about via a chance Facebook connection at 11 p.m. One of the craziest and most widely-read articles I wrote in 2012.

Legends of Electronic Music: Tod Dockstader. Wired, June 7, 2012. To do this article, I flew cross-country to Massachusetts on my own dime and jumped through considerable hoops to land this very rare interview with the extraordinary Tod Dockstader, who is now well into his 80s. Wired did not understand why I did this, but they didn't need to understand. Those who know, know why this is important.

It's in the Cards. Cabinet, Issue #45 (Games), Spring 2012. An essay I wrote about Brian Eno, the Oblique Strategies cards, Erik Satie, and Satie's performance indications. I read this essay on stage in San Francisco, at an event called "Writers with Drinks," and it went over incredibly well; people were laughing hysterically at Satie's performance indications, and I hadn't realized what great comic value still exists in them.
Ben Burtt on Star Wars, Forbidden Planet and the Sound of Sci-Fi. Wired, May 25, 2012. I interviewed the legendary sound designer Ben Burtt about Forbidden Planet at Skywalker Ranch. Wired then shoehorned the interview into a Star Wars 35th anniversary package. This 2000-word interview is worth reading for all the insights Burtt gives on the potent mysteries of Forbidden Planet and Louis and Bebe Barron. And the Star Wars tidbits are great too. Expect more on this in the not-too-distant future.

Meet Kraftwerk's Original 3-D Animator, Rebecca Allen. Wired, April 20, 2012. With all of the renewed press attention for Kraftwerk this year, I felt that writing this article–about a woman designer and animator–was a way to get a new, and different, story. Allen's contributions to Kraftwerk's visual aesthetic, and her vision for the classic music video "Musique Non Stop," tell an important story about the history of computer graphics and 3-D animation in the 1980s.

Rare '70s Electronic Music is Hidden in The Hunger Games. Wired, March 29, 2012. This piece I wrote on Laurie Spiegel–the scoop that her music was "hidden" in the Hollywood mega-blockbuster The Hunger Games–went off the charts, page-views-wise, and also helped kick off a wave of attention, including a follow-up article in Slate.

New Video Shows Japanese Speech-Jamming Gun in Action. Wired, March 2, 2012. Reprinted in Wired UK and Wired Japan. These pieces also got a ton of hits, but what I thought was more important were the references I buried into pieces like these to give them more depth–Stockhausen, Muzak, J.G. Ballard, etc. I always tried to inject a bit of weirdness into my articles, even the goofy shorter ones, to make them worth reading.
Interview: Dieter Moebius. Frieze, January 20, 2012. The only interview with the fascinating, enigmatic Dieter Moebius of Cluster that has been done at this length (it's 3000 words). I met up with Moebius on a subway platform in Berlin after visiting Conrad Schnitzler's house on the outskirts of the city, and did the interview with him in a Berlin cafe. Happily, this also helped lead to Moebius' appearance at the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival some months later.

My kitties are in need of help! A year ago my girl cat lost her brother. We brought in a 7 month old girl kitten. She hated the kitten at first but now they are buddies. Eoz the kitten was constantly licking and bathing and losing fur. Then Zoe, my old cat started doing the same. We have been to 3 vets. They have done testing for mites, blood tests etc. The vet suggested sulfur dips. Which we started this week. I am not sure this is the right thing to do since there were no mites in any test. All the vets ruled out stress. Although we did try natural remedies and nothing worked.
Zoe, my older kitty is almost bald. She literally pulls her fur out! It's very sad. After this first dip Eoz fur was falling out and she doesn't shed!
We are at the end of our rope. Any suggestions?
Please help our girls !

I love rocketry.
In Idaho county, they're currently pioneering the use of rockets in routine medical procedures:
IT WAS tremendously exciting to watch the launch of SpaceX's Dragon capsule at The Economist Tower in London, along with a number of colleagues.
Judging by the excited faces of SpaceX employees after the live webcast, everything went perfectly. Dragon, the world's first orbital space capsule built by the private sector, will now orbit the planet a few times over the next couple of hours before splashing down in the Pacific.
It is a small but significant milestone. The unmanned demonstration mission wants to prove that Dragon is able to deliver crew and cargo to the International Space Station (ISS). The reason for all the excitement is that the working capsule really points the world firmly in the direction of greater involvement by the private sector in providing trips to space. More competition means lower prices. Lower prices mean better access. After the retirement of the shuttle, Dragon would be able to deliver crew and cargo to the ISS on top of a Falcon 9 rocket.
The Economist has been writing about private spaceflight, and the potential of the private sector, for years. Not everyone has been convinced. Earlier this year there was a nasty battle in Congress over the extent to which the American government would commit to buying rides to the space station from private-sector providers such as SpaceX. In an amazing reversal of roles, Democrats were in favour of the cheaper-nimbler private sector options, while Republicans preferred relying on traditional government muscle.
Had this flight failed, it would have undoubtedly been used for political advantage to dismiss the private sector and argue that only the government can provide spaceflight reliably. With a successful launch, those clouds have lifted and the horizon is, finally, in clear view.

Olive Ridleys Threatened by Port Expansion Plans in Orissa, India
Sea turtle conservation workers in India are slowing the planned construction of a massive shipping port that would disturb olive ridley sea turtles, but they need our help. The Sea Turtle Restoration Project is coordinating a U.S. coalition to support their efforts. The following news story features our conservation ally Kartik Shanker in India.
Olive Ridleys May be Spared from Port Expansion in Orissa
The Indian Times - Economic Times Nov. 5, 2010
NEW DELHI: The endangered olive ridley turtle could well upset South Korean steel maker Poscos plans to construct a captive port at Jatadhar in Orissa. The proposed port at the mouth of River Jatadhar of the Mahanadi delta would be located in close proximity to the congregation area of the olive ridley sea turtles. It would also be in close proximity to mass nesting beaches for turtles, including the Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary. The olive ridley turtle is listed as a protected species under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act. Given the importance of the area for the protection of turtles, the mouth of the Jatadhar river has been designated as protected waters under the Orissa Marine Fisheries Regulation Act. There are concerns about the impact of increased illumination from the proposed port on the nesting sites for adult turtles, as well. The large number of ports, many of which are in proposal stage, has become a cause of concern for the impact it has on marine life. The area is also home to dolphins, among other species. Orissa has the largest nesting population of olive ridleys outside Central America. Also, the olive ridley turtle population in the Orissa coast is unique. Genetic studies show that olive ridley populations in the Pacific and Atlantic originated from India's east coast. Therefore, from the conservation perspective, protecting the habitat along the Orissa coastline takes on greater importance, said ecologist Kartik Shanker, faculty at the Indian Institute of Science , Bangalore. Mr Shanker is part of a group of ecologists and biologists who have drawn attention to the impact of the increased port construction on the Orissa coast. The group also includes Romulus Whitaker of the Madras Crocodile Bank , Sudarshan Rodriguez of TISS, Sejal Worah of WWF-India. The scientists will be conveying their concerns about the need to protect the ecosystem of the Orissa coast to the environment ministry shortly. Earlier, they had submitted their views to the ministry appointed Posco review panel as well. Over the years, the intensity of illumination from the Paradip port has intensified although located at a distance of approximately 50 km from the Gahirmatha nesting site. We are of the opinion that the illumination and glow of light from the Posco port area will inhibit nesting from taking place at the Devi river mouth, the biologists said in their communication. They have drawn attention to the fact that the environment impact assessment report for the port project prepared by M N Dastur and Company made no mention of the impact the port would have on the marine environment of the area. The report is not a suitable document for assessing impacts on the marine environment, particularly on the globally significant population of sea turtles, the communication states. India is a signatory to the Indian Ocean memorandum of understanding for the conservation of sea turtles and a party to the Convention on Migratory Species.

Huitlacoche, also known as Mexican corn truffle, grows naturally on ears of corn. The people of Mexico and the American Hopi Indians consider it a delicacy and use huitlacoche as a savory addition to tamales, soups and other dishes. Similar to regular mushrooms in taste and texture, huitlacoche has an earthy, somewhat smoky flavor. Ours is grown in the U.S. and shipped to you frozen. To serve, par boil it for 10 minutes and then saute in butter until crisp. It will add a rich, pungent flavor and inky color to stews and makes a great high protein vegetarian filling for crepes and quesadillas.
Huitlacoche tamales
Makes 10 to 12 tamales
1 cup corn flour 2 cups huitlacoche3/4 cup warm water 1/2 cup unsalted margarine1/2 cup chicken broth1/2 cup chopped cilantro Corn husks, washed and moistened in warm water1/2 cup queso fresco, shreddedSalt and pepper to taste
Moisten the corn flour with the warm water and set aside.
Mix the cilantro with the huitlacoche and put them in a blender. Blend until creamy. Beat margarine for 5 minutes or until creamy and fluffy. Pour it over the flour and add the chicken broth. Stir all together. Add the huitlacoche mix to the flour mixture and season to taste. Mix all well to obtain a creamy yet firm consistency.
Assemble the tamales by adding 1 tablespoon of the mixture to the center of each cornhusk. Pour queso fresco on top. Carefully, fold over the husk and secure with a piece of string. Steam the tamales for 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm.
Huitlacoche "Tlacollos" (Corn Truffle Turnovers)(Serves 8)
Ingredients1 pound huitlacoche, washed and diced in cubes1 large onion, diced2 tomatoes, diced2 tablespoons olive oilSalt and pepper to taste8 empanadas discos (or canned French bread dough)Vegetable oil for fryingQueso fresco (fresh cheese)Jalapenos chiles
Wash the huitlacoche and pat dry with paper towel.Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the huitlacoche and let cook slowly. The huitlacoche will begin to blacken as it cooks. When huitlacoche is completely black, add the tomatoes and the chiles and mix well. Lower the heat and let it cook slowly for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Form turnovers with the discos or dough by filling each one of them with one tablespoon of the huitlacoche mix. Seal the patties by pressing the sides firmly with a fork, forming large leaf shape rolls.
Fry the "tlacollos" in vegetable oil until golden brown.Top with shredded fresh cheese, onions and jalapenos chiles to taste.

Flemington's impending celebration might stop a nation, but it also gets certain sectors moving. As trainers and thoroughbreds all over town intensify their pre-race fitness campaigns, it seemed only appropriate that this punter hit the track too.
Accordingly, the weekend saw me set off on 3 km of what looked like jogging, only slower. As I turned for home, I was really digging deep, deep into that space where a person's mathematical ability is supposed to be. Taking into account the time and distance, would I have burned off 5 barbecue shapes or pushed it out to 6?
Distracted by these calculations, I inhaled a little seasonal joy, in the form of some kind of airborne plant matter. This particular piece of plant matter was actually big enough for a person to duck, but unfortunately it went straight in, resulting in a full-blown, public gagging episode.

Detainees claim they have been strangled, beaten and dropped down aircraft steps while being deported by private security firms, according to a damning report that calls for a "complete and radical overhaul" of the government's removals process. The report, by Amnesty International, also documents cases in which foreign nationals, being removed from the UK, have ended up with broken bones.
These cases took place since the death last year at Heathrow airport of Jimmy Mubenga, an Angolan deportee.
The report, seen exclusively by the Guardian, refers to concerns that private companies hired by the Home Office to remove failed asylum seekers are not properly training their guards. Some guards have used "non-approved restraints", such as crude body straps and trouser belts, to hold deportees in their seats.
Insiders with direct knowledge of the removals system report "serious failings", the report notes. "Staff are trained in control and restraint techniques that are unsuitable for use on aircraft; there is no mandatory training in the safe use of handcuffs and restraints; and there is no watertight system in place to ensure that those accredited to conduct removals have received the required level of training."

E-PIX Movie Free-For-All! Wanna win a pair of Boxing Gloves autographed by Jake LaMotta - ya know... RAGING BULL!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... I get offered to do a lot of promotional giveaways - and to be honest for every contest we do here on AICN, every event we throw - there's about 5-10 that I am just not interested in because they just don't seem COOL to me. Now, as is evidenced by the 15 years of AICN that I've been in charge of, my barometer of cool is uniquely tuned to my own personal aesthetic... But when the PR company asked me if I wanted to give away this pair of Jake LaMotta Boxing Gloves - I kneejerked an "ABSOLUTELY!" as quick as I could.
So first off - why am I doing this contest? No, that's not right... Why is there a contest? Well you see, over at EPIX MOVIE FREE-FOR-ALL - they're screening classic films across the country - and this Thursday, June 30th at Tompkins Square Park in the East Village in NEW YORK CITY - you can watch RAGING BULL on the big screen at 8pm (EST natch). There's VIP seating you can win by doing the following:
"Fans can enter to win VIP seats to select screenings by following @EpixHD on Twitter. EPIX will announce on their Twitter handle when the contest begins for each movie, then all you have to do is tweet to @EpixHD with the hashtag #EPIXFFA as instructed to become eligible to win. See below for the full rules and good luck!"
But while going to see RAGING BULL in the East Village on a big screen with your fellow New Yorkers might be pretty damn cool... Hanging these on your wall will be even cooler. In fact, I wish to God I could just name myself the winner - cuz I think these are the bee's knees.
SO - how do you win?
Well, I was sitting here racking my brain trying to think of what the winner of this holy cinematic/sports/Scorsese/Deniro evocative badassery would need to do to truly deserve the awesome that these gloves represent.
I thought about Punch photos - but then thought... yeah, that could end badly, but Yoko said, you should have people do "POST-FIGHT Make-up Faces" - YES! Exactly that is exactly what I want to do.
The best Beat to fuck face make up photo that I get sent wins these gloves. I'll give ya till Monday to send the best photos you can take, featuring beat up face make up of YOU. What I want is at least 4 photos... detailing pre-makeup, different stages, then your fave shot of the finished masterpiece of face mutilation through organized blunt trauma competitions.
There can be ONLY ONE!
SO - send it in an email to HK at Aint It Cool. Com with the subject line:
I want Magic Jake LaMotta RAGING BULL Boxing Gloves from Everlast!
the photos - your full name and shipping address. On Tuesday, next week, I'll announce the winner! Do your best and be featured here - and for your effort you will have those magic gloves! Sound cool? I think so!

i really want to win these gloves, but i have no experience with makeup or a desire to learn. i wonder if i could just beat harry up and take them...
Reward people who know something about makeup and punish people with no working knowledge of it. Too bad it wasn't more inclusive so everyone could take a shot.
You fuck my wife?
choppah, not sure if you're quoting RB or WFG, but it brought to mind the latter. best part of that movie...
No problem. Ring me up and let's do this thing. Close to a hospital though.
i think harry made this contest up just so he could keep the gloves for himself. no one's going to enter, so he'll be like, "well, I tried."

I have the original Warner vhs release autographed by La Motta...
by workshed
...anyone wanna buy it? It's signed on both the reverse of the cover and the cassette. Got it from myself in 1989, when he was in Sheffield speaking at a boxing dinner. He was standing in for Jersey Joe Walcott who was ill. He signed the cover for me and when I asked, 'Could you sign the cassette too..?' he replied, 'What a pain in the ass this kid is..!' I said, 'That could have been a line in the movie' and he said, 'I know'. He was around 70 back then and imo thoroughly obliging and warm, despite what you may think of his past. You don't forget meeting him. The cassette is one of the highlights of the 5000+ films in my collection though I may be tempted to sell (for sensible offers).
...'got it from him myself'.
I want those gloves but know nothing about makeup!!!

Christie's Auction Pumped by Yves, Keeps Art Market Recovery Going
With a final tally of more than $61 million in line with the high end of the presale estimate, it would appear that Christie's made some smart calls. Forty-six of the lots achieved sale, with one clearing £5 million, nine surpassing £1 million and 16 beating $1 million. Compared to last year's sale, when only 29 lots were offered, the total take surged 3.7X. I tend to be pretty skeptical, but even that sort of result is enough to make me admit that the art market's recovering.
Buyers in Europe and Britain were most active, picking up 41 percent and 33 percent of the sales, respectively. Collectors in the United States followed with 22 percent and Asia at 4 percent.

Accelerator Update for April 24, 2009 - April 27, 2009 |
The Integrated Luminosity 4/20/09 to 4/27/09 was 47.42 pb-1. Friday April 24 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TeV) store 6993 (75.82E30) and the Recycler stash (349.3E10), with the Antiproton Source stacking (22.3E10), with the Linac, Booster, and Main Injector (MI) operating normally, with the Meson MTest, MiniBooNE, and NuMI experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) experiments using the colliding beams. Operations terminated store 6993 at 8:30 AM. Operations prepared the Transfer Hall, TeV sectors A-E, and F-sector for access to address vacuum problems at sector F23. MI-60 suffered a vacuum burst at 9:00 AM and was recovered shortly thereafter. Operations had established beam to the Pbar, NuMI, and MiniBooNE by 12:30 PM. Operations had put the TeV into HEP shot setup by 3 PM. Operations established store 6997 at 4:30 PM with an initial luminosity of 343.4E30. A Cold Box at CHL failed at 5 PM. The TeV sector A4 cryo system went unstable leading to a quench and loss of store 6997. Operations delivered beam to the Pbar, NuMI, and MiniBooNE until a Linac RF station (LRF2) failed at 10:30 PM. CHL personnel made the necessary repairs and restarted the cold box by 11 PM. MIRF personnel were called in to replace the bias power supply for a MI RF station (MIRF6). Antiprotons transfers to the Recycler were completed when necessary. Saturday April 25 The midnight shift began with the TeV recovering from a cold box failure, with Operations monitoring the stash (165.5E10) and the stack (11.7E10), with Linac down due to LRF2 problems, and with NuMI and MiniBooNE off due to the Linac problems. The TeV sector E0 crystal collimator was removed and replaced with a spool piece. The MI vertical sextupole power supply developed an internal problem; EE Support personnel were called in and switched over to the backup power supply. A LCW supply line to the I- Source water resistorfailed at a compression fitting. Linac personnel were called in to make repairs. A lightning glitch tripped the MI ramp off on two occasions. 50E10 of the Recycler stash was lost in reestablishing and re-learning the MI ramp. The Electron Cooling doublet magnet at the bottom of the Pelletron tank required a back flush of its LCW cooling line. Waterworks personnel were called in to perform the task. Linac techs completed the LRF2 repairs and the station was tuned up. Beam operations began in earnest at 8:30 PM. The TeV ring cooldown progressed. Cryo system engine techs were called in to address wet engine problems at TeV sector F4. DZero accessed their collider hall. Beam was delivered to the Pbar Source, NuMI, MiniBooNE, and the Meson MTest when available. Antiprotons transfers to the Recycler were completed when appropriate. Sunday April 26 The midnight shift began with TeV cooldown in progress, with Operations monitoring the stash, with Pbar stacking, and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. The TeV cryo system had recovered by noon, and machine turn-on and checkout began. Before getting too far into machine turn-on, operators accessed the TeV A-E sectors to check out the status of the C3 sump. Upon resuming the TeV checkout, a hipot revealed a ground fault between sectors F2 and A2. Operations consulted TeV personnel and a ground fault hunt ensued. Nothing obvious was found; operators resumed the TeV check out and the turn-on resumed after the fault disappeared. Antiprotons transfers to the Recycler were completed when appropriate, leading to a New Recycler stash record of 502.85E10. Operations put the TeV through a dry squeeze and orbit check at 10:30 PM. Operations had put the TeV into HEP shot set-up by 10:45 PM. Beam was delivered to the Pbar, NuMI, MiniBooNE, and MTest when available. Monday April 27 The midnight shift began with the TeV in shot setup, with Operations monitoring the stash, with Pbar stacking, and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. Operations established store 7000 at 12:15 AM with an initial luminosity of 304E30. The stash of ~315E10 was lost during a C453 controls card swap. Beam was delivered to the Pbar, NuMI, MiniBooNE, and MTest when available. Antiproton transfers to the Recycler were completed when appropriate. The Plans for Monday The plans for today are to stack, stash, and store. |

HIT Errors 'Tip of the Iceberg,' Says ECRI
Healthcare systems' transitions from paper records to electronic ones are causing harm and in so many serious ways, providers are only now beginning to understand the scope.
Computer programs truncated dosage fields, leading to morphine-caused respiratory arrest; lab test and transplant surgery records didn't talk to each other, leading to organ rejection and patient death; and an electronic systems' misinterpretation of the time "midnight" meant an infant received antibiotics one dangerous day too late.
These are among the 171 health information technology malfunctions and disconnects that caused or could have caused patient harm in a report to the ECRI Institute's Patient Safety Organization. Thirty-six participating hospitals reported the data under a special voluntary program conducted last year.
Karen Zimmer, MD, medical director of the institute, says the reports of so many types of errors and harm got the staff's attention in part because the program captured so many serious errors within just a nine-week project last spring.
The volume of errors in the voluntary reports was she says, "an awareness raiser."
"If we're seeing this much under a voluntary reporting program, we know this is just the tip of the iceberg; we know these events are very much underreported."

H-Option (Honors Option)
The Honors Option Course is designed to accomplish a number of things:
Mainly during the junior/senior years, all Honors students are required to take three (3) Honors Option courses in 300-400 level courses (usually a total of 9 hours). The process for completion of any Honors Option/Independent Study is as follows:
Contracts detail the department, course number, semester/year, faculty name(s) and Honors coursework to be completed in order to obtain Honors credit. Contracts are processed by the Associate Director, who then sends them along to Department Chairs to request creation of the "H" sections of the 300-400 level courses (if they have not already been created), the Office of the Registrar to document the new "H" course numbers and to ensure the Honors credit is reflected on students' transcripts, and the faculty mentors and the Honors students for their own records.
Contracts are due by early Honors Registration day, the first Wednesday of the first week of preregistration. Negotiations for H-Options then must necessarily begin about a month before Honors Registration day (if not before), so e-bulletins are sent to remind upper-division Honors students they must meet with faculty mentors about their Honors Options. Honors Option credit cannot be assigned to a completed class (or a "closed" semester), and general studies courses are not allowed to become H-Options unless by special permission of the Honors Directors. Honors options may be dropped until the end of the 10th week of the semester, in accordance with the Registrar's policy. Incompletes may be awarded for H-Option courses, and must be completed within one academic year, again, in accordance with Registrar's office policy.
Choice of the course and topics for both H-Options and the Honors Senior Study is always up to the Honors students. Collaboration with Honors faculty can lead to exciting ideas and research for both the students and the faculty involved. Ultimately the strength of the H-Option/Senior Study courses/coursework lies in the creative abilities of the Honors students and faculty. For most students, these can be some of the most exciting courses they take, because the core is independent research.

Fashion designer born in Penang, Malaysia in 1961, Jimmy Choo used the craftsmanship he learned from his father, also a cobbler, to create some of the most coveted shoes in the world.
When I first started, my father wouldn't let me make a shoe. Instead, he said: 'Sit and watch, sit and watch.' For months and months, I did that.
Early Years
Fashion designer. Born Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat in 1961 in Penang, Malaysia. The son of a shoe cobbler, Choo was immersed in the world of shoemaking from an early age. His father wanted him to follow in his footsteps and by age 11 Choo had made his first pair of shoes.
"When I first started, my father wouldn't let me make a shoe. Instead, he said: "Sit and watch, sit and watch." For months and months, I did that."
After learning from his father about the craft of shoemaking, Choo made his way to England in the early 1980s to study at the Cordwainers Technical College in Hackney, where he graduated with honors in 1983.
Becoming Famous
Choosing to remain in England, Choo opened his first shop in Hackney in 1986 in an old hospital building. It didn't take long for Choo's reputation to build. Within two years of opening his shop, Choo's shoes were featured in an eight-page spread in Vogue magazine.
Soon, Choo became the darling of the celebrity world, in particular Princess Diana, who donned Choo's footwear seemingly everywhere she went.
But it was his relationship with Vogue that would prove to be instrumental in the rise of the Jimmy Choo brand. Despite the rise of his popularity, Choo was still a small operation, making just 20 hand-made pairs shoes a week. But Tamara Yeardye Mellon, an accessories editor at Vogue, who often hired Choo to make shoes for fashion shoots, sensed a larger market for Choo's creations. She approached the shoemaker about partnering to create a line of ready-to-wear footwear.
Together, Choo and Mellon quickly grew the business, keeping the focus on creating high-end footwear, but no longer relying on the idea that every single pair had to be made by Choo himself. They contracted with Italian factories and opened their first boutique shop in London.
By the late 1990s, Choo had stores in Los Angeles and New York and lineup of adoring Hollywood celebrities that included Julia Roberts and Renee Zellweger.
Going Out On His Own
By the turn of the century, the Choo name was a global brand, with high-end retail clients that included Harrods and Saks Fifth Avenue carrying Choo footwear. The Choo brand had also expanded to handbags and other accessories.
But in the background, all was not well. Choo and Mellon were at odds about the direction of the company. In what would become one of the more fascinating rifts in the fashion industry, Choo didn't think bigger was better. He questioned the quality of the shoes the company was making, and seemed to long for the days when he was back at his shop in Hackney making a small number of pieces of footwear for specific clients.
In 2001, Choo sold his half of the company to Robert Bensoussan of Equinox Luxury Holdings for $30 million.
Today, Jimmy Choo has returned to his roots at a small shop he opened in London, which serves as the headquarters for the exclusive Jimmy Choo Couture line.

Parents and grandparents will be allowed to draw on their pension pots to secure deposits for young family members in a bid to boost home ownership, Nick Clegg said.
The Deputy Prime Minister said detailed proposals were being drawn up by Liberal Democrat ministers as part of efforts to make the economy "fairer".
But he also declined to commit to pushing for any specific wealth tax despite promising activists at the party conference that he would play hardball with the Tories on the issue.
Speaking on BBC1's Andrew Marr Show from the Brighton gathering, he said: "This is part and parcel of something which I think most people agree with which is that as we fill in the black hole in the public finances we have also got to make sure that we do not put Humpty Dumpty back together again and make the same mistakes, that we re-wire the British economy and make it fairer and give people more opportunities.
"Let me give you one very good example: we have thousands of young people who are desperate to get their feet on the first rung of the property ladder but deposits have doubled and the number of young people asking for help from family members has doubled.
"So I can announce today that the Government is going to do something that hasn't happened before: we are going to work out ways in which parents and grandparents who want to help their children and grandchildren buy a property of their own, we are going to allow those parents and grandparents to act as a guarantee if you like so their youngsters ... can take out a deposit and buy a home.
"It is a pension from property scheme."

The human factor: Get the users on board first
The ability to provision financial systems quickly, securely and effectively to users in different offices with different needs drives the perception of the IT department. As Jon Collins recently wrote: "We may obsess about technical gubbins, but from the business user's perspective, IT is little more than a screen, keyboard and …
Uh Huh
As true as it is, this concept will be popular among the IT gaggle about as much as a turd in the punch bowl.
Sadly enough...
You are most likely correct. The article is spot on, in any major implementation technical issues are eminently solvable. It's the management of things like change whether it's cultural or process that take the most time and energy, or should.
Unfortunately, too many of our colleagues either do not understand business or have decided the business isn't their problem. They are incorrect in this view, of course, and many companies suffer as a result.

gskill has one also
On what RAM is supported depends on the motherboard as well.

Back and Neck PostureBack and Neck PostureImproper posture may put too much stress on your back and neck and lead to discomfort and damage. The key to good back posture is to keep the right amount of curve in your lower back. Too much curve (swayback) or too little curve (flat back) can result in problems. The right amount of curve is called the neutral position. Proper posture will not guarantee a pain-free back or neck, but it may reduce your risk for back and neck pain. Credits

Recently there was a thread on the O'Reilly Radar started by Tim O'Reilly posting a chart that I put together from our book sales data. The chart showed comparative market share for most of the relevant programming languages. I have updated this in the chart below and have included 2005 data as well.
A litte insight to the numbers behind this graph. The percent shows that a lanugage like Java represents ~23% of all book sales when looking at the language dimension. That means, I compared all the languages and which books have 'XYZ using Java', or 'Embedded FOO on Java', etc. So it does not have to be a strict Java Programming book, but rather a book that is Java-centric or the examples contain mostly Java code. I compared aggregated sales units during Jan-Feb for 2005, 2006 and 2007.
This is not an exhaustive study as I threw out Languages that did not have a representative sample in one of the years. In other words, if a language area show up with 15 units in 2005, but not in 2006 [or 2007] it was dropped. These are the bottomfeeders. So if you use one of those languages, Squeak, you will not find the results in my chart.
Some observations:
During the previous two years and this year, during January and February, the biggest declines were seen with Java ~5.5% down, C/C++ ~4.5% down, Visual Basic ~2% down and Perl ~1.5% down. The reason I point these out, is that is is market share for books, the unit sales numbers, which I will not supply, are a bit more alarming if you are on the declining list.
During the previous two years and this year, during January and February, the winners seem to be: Javascript ~5.5% [almost exactly what Java lost], Ruby ~5.25%, .Net Languages ~3% and C# ~2.75.
So when you look at the top for both lists, the totals are a bit different. There is a 3% difference on the winners side. What is says to me, is that most of the growth was seen in the four top languages, while the decline was spread a bit wider.
Your observations?
Do you really care about languages and what books sales tell us about trends? Don't think for a moment, as past posters have said, that some languages have better market share because one language has 'sucky' books. I did a quick analysis of GPA ratings on Amazon by language, and there are not any really significant wins for one language over another. One thing that does factor tough, is early to market. On average, when a language or technology topic is in its infancy stages, the market is more forgiving on the reviews. About .5 for the first books to show up in a category. You could say the the first are usually the best, but that does not hold up either.
Do you think maturity of a market shows in this data? Javascript/Ajax, Ruby/Rails are top two and are fairly nascent. Java and C++ are mature technologies with presumably less newbies clamoring to learn them. So what do you think?
If there is enough interest, I will follow up with some efficiency and average title metrics.

Voyager impact on the moon
"I heard on the radio that the space probe Voyager would impact the surface of the moon about midnight my time. The rest of my day was spent rigging an antenna for the TV that would allow me to receive the broadcast from the nearest station. It was huge and unwieldy and looked like a cross between a bailer gone mad and a spiders nest. Whatever it was, I could get a picture on the black-and-white TV in the living room.
"I stayed up all night, watching Howard Cosell and a parade of experts on that little round screen. When the probe actually impacted, I was pretty much nose-on-the-TV to see just as much as I possibly could. Those last 6 to 10 seconds before impact, that is when space travel became real for me."
--CNET News.com reader Brian Peterson

The simplicity of boxing makes it a sport particularly suited to effective treatment in all manner of films. Two opponents, trained to pinnacle of their physical potential, face-to-face an pummeling one another in a ring from which only one victor will emerge. It's clean, universally comprehensible, and can be mined for maximum drama. Classic films that have centered, to varying degrees, around onscreen pugilism include Raging Bull, The Champ, Rocky, and, more recently, The Fighter.
If boxing is the sport of kings, then by the transitive property, robot-boxing is the sport of robot-kings. The new film Real Steel, which hits (seriously, no pun intended) theaters tomorrow, takes place in a near-future inspired by the Richard Matheson short story Steel. In this stylized setting, traditional boxing has been completely usurped by a version in which the pugilists are no longer flesh-and blood humans, but are instead hulking, nine-foot tall robots designed and built specifically to pummel each other, with a human operator involved via remote.
Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton, a former prizefighter who lost his chance at a championship title when the robots took over and now earns a meager living as a hustler of low-level match-ups. Mortified to find he's suddenly the guardian of a son he didn't know was his, played by Dakota Goyo, Charlie and his boy revive an out-of-date training robot named Atom, and this unlikely trio of underdogs find themselves on the path to robo-boxing glory. At a press conference in Los Angeles, IAR Managing Editor Jami Philbrick was on hand to hear what Jackman, co-star Anthony Mackie, and boxing legend/ trainer/fight choreographer Sugar Ray Leonard had to say about Real Steel.
Synopsis: In this futuristic underdog tale, Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton, a former prizefighter who lost his shot at a championship title when traditional boxing was replaced by robot-boxing, the world's most popular sport. When he's suddenly reunited with the son he never knew he had, Charlie finds a training robot that they'll attempt to make an unlikely champ.
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Hope Davis, Phil LaMarr, Karl Yune
Director: Shawn Levy
Genre: Science Fiction, Sports, Family
Release Date: October 7, 2011
The future of sportsmanship depicted in the upcoming science-fiction sports movie Real Steel is a bright one for any draft-dodgers and dandies too fearful or fragile to step into a boxing ring and have the piss properly beaten out of them. In this near-future, human boxing has been replaced by the world's most popular sport: robot boxing, with two eight-foot metallic combatants beating each others' circuits out. That's good news for the pantywaists operating boxing-bots via remote controls, but bad news for former prizefighter Charlie Kenton, played by Hugh Jackman. DreamWorks Pictures has released five new clips from Real Steel, and they depicts, variously, Jackman being a charming, down on his luck underdog, Evangeline Lilly being stunningly beautiful, and, of course, robots pummeling each other.
A new extended television spot for the upcoming family-friendly boxing tale Real Steel plays up the two things that seemingly every movie set in the business of pugilism must incorporate: an underdog story and some appropriately bruising boxing sequences. It does the first by establishing Hugh Jackman as a washed up prizefighter who gets his ass kicked and is generally having a bad run of luck. It does the second with lots and lots of very expensive visual effects depicting eight foot tall robots engaging in metal-on-metal action, as sports in the future of Real Steel are dominated by a boxing league in which the combatants are not sweaty humans, but are instead remote-control robots roughing each other up for the entertainment of America.
I've always assumed that a crucial part of pugilism's appeal lay in the fact that boxing involves rigorously trained flesh and blood boxers causing each other grievous body harm up to an including major brain damage. The upcoming film Real Steel posits a future just nine years from now in which old-fashioned human boxing has been totally replaced by a robot boxing league, and to be fair, ten foot tall robots pummeling each other does look reasonably fun. A new featurette for the family-ready science fiction underdog story shows off plenty of new footage and includes interviews with star Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy. Snippets of Jackman and Levy talking are all well and good, but y'all know you're here to see combatants rocking and socking with aplomb.

In this fabulous modern, robot slaves do some of what used to be humanity's best jobs, including auto manufacturing, interstellar exploring, and bomb-dropping, but these robots have not yet conquered the game of kings. In the future of Real Steel, traditional human boxing has been replaced by Rock 'Em Sock 'Em-style robot fisticuffs. Most everybody seems happy about that, with exception of a former championship-level pugilist played by Hugh Jackman, who must now scrape by as the manager of mechanical fighters. A Japanese trailer for Real Steel features no shortage of new boxing footage, some heartwarming father-son bonding, and some really appropriate Japanese subtitles and voiceover.
Today was the first weekday in a spell that did not include a new character poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. It's not wand-waving from Warner Bros, but DreamWorks is making up for it a bit. The studio released a new international one sheet for Real Steel, a family friendly event film set in a future where boxing has been replaced by one-on-one robotic combat. The last teaser poster featured only a robo-hand on the the robo-ropes, but this new poster includes a full pugi-bot (albeit from behind), as well as the silhouettes of Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo. Take a peek.
This October's Real Steel has a bona-fide movie star in Hugh Jackman, but the film's teaser poster contains neither Jackman's Australian hide, nor his equally Australian hair. Instead, it visually sets up the film's central mashup conceit: boxing, but with giant robots. Real Steel is set in a future where the sport of kings is no longer fought by flesh and blood competitors, but by bipedal boxing-bots. This poster, which debuted over at Comingsoon, conveys that with a simple sci-fi twist on a familiar image.
How do you insert some novelty and freshness into the story of a pugilist slugging his way from the boxcars all the way to the championship? One word: robots. In Real Steal, Hugh Jackman is a former boxer struggling to get by in a new industry of professional robot-boxing. While connecting with the 11 year-old son he never knew he had (Dakota Goyo), the down-on-his-luck manager refurbishes a beat-up old bot that might just have the robo-heart to take it all the way. Check out the new theatrical trailer and all the robot beatdowns therein.
