Self-styled (literally) movie star Melissa Leo has, over the course of three decades of work, carved out an almost impossible career path for an actress: peaking in her fifties, simultaneously courting and trolling Hollywood, and not giving a shit how any of that makes her look.

Prisoners is a tough movie about complex people, and it just opened with $21 million at the box office. Perhaps it's premature to declare the death of the mature movie drama?

Laptop or desktop computers and any components within.
How can I rip my LPs?
Episode 1097
Glen wants to record digitally, but his DAT player has died. Scott says that there are plenty of ways to record digitally via the computer. But if he needs to run from an analog source like a record player, he'll need to get an analog to digital recorder, and high resolution audio isn't going to be part of it. He can clean it up, but there will be a bit of analog signal noise he'll have to deal with. He could have a service rip his LPs. There are also turntables that come with USB connections that go directly into the computer.
How can I mirror to my TV with my Note 2?
Episode 1097
Eric mirrors his Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to his HDTV via NetGear. But if he roots it, it won't work. Are there any alternatives to the NetGear? Scott says that's a black art, but he could mirror to his laptop and then HDMI. The chatroom says that the laptop has to be running Chrome for that to happen. The chatroom also says the Google Chromecast won't mirror just yet. Eric could connect it via an MHL cable and then run it that way. Scott says that's "so 20th century." But there is a way and it also fits in his pocket, so as long as the TV has HDMI, he's good to go.
Are speakers better today than the ones made in the 70s?
Episode 1097Jack from
Jack wants to know if there are better speakers than the ones he got in the 70s. Scott says that speaker technology has changed very little in the last 100 years. So there's really little point in replacing them, except that the flexible material used by the surround may need to be replaced.
Why is the aspect ratio on my TV messed up when streaming YouTube?
Episode 1097
Frank has a 65" LG 3D TV, but when he watches 3D from a device or a download, he gets a strange effect of the screen image shrinking down 1/3 of the size. It's like the entire screen image is letterboxed. Scott says it sounds like a defect in how the TV handles the streaming 3D content.
Should I buy a refurbished Mac from a third party?
Episode 1096
MJ is thinking about buying a refurbished Mac. Leo says that if he's going to go refurb, don't ever buy it from anyone other than the manufacturer. He should buy it from Apple. What about Mac Enthusiast in Santa Monica? Leo says he knows those guys and he'd consider that the exception to the rule. But remember that a warranty for a refurbished computer won't be from Apple.
Why am I getting an error message that my recovery partition is running out of space?
Episode 1096
JR has a Lenovo computer, and has been getting error messages that his recovery partition is nearly full. Leo says that installing programs on Windows is almost always done to the C drive by default. He can choose otherwise, but it works best keeping all the programs on same drive as Windows. Leo says he shouldn't be able to put anything on the recovery drive, as it shouldn't even be visible from the operating system. The recovery partition is designed to only be slightly bigger than what is needed to hold the Windows recovery software.
What industrial grade computer should I get for CAD work?
Episode 1096Mackenzie from
Mackenzie needs to buy a computer and 3D printer for a business. He needs a touch screen on the laptop. Leo says that no matter what computer Mac gets, a Wacomb tablet/monitor will make it touch. But with Windows 8.1, getting a Lenovo Carbon X1 Touch is a great option.
The Thinkpad W540 is larger, has a ton of power, and is considered a "mobile workstation."
Dick DeBartolo, The Giz Wiz
Episode 1095
Today's gadget ... the FooGoo "Go Anywhere" Bluetooth speaker. It's designed for the on the go person who wants to take their sound anywhere. There are three kinds ... the FuGoo style, the FuGoo Sport, and the FuGoo Tough.
What streaming video box should I buy?
Episode 1095
Fran is going to move to Hawaii for a short time and wants to stream all his content via a set top box like the Roku. Which should he go with? Leo says that each box has specialties that work better than others. AppleTV works great if he's in the Apple world. But Roku is better outside that, as is the FireTV.
If he buys a lot of content from Amazon, then FireTV is for Fran. They have a great games section as well. He won't be getting HBO, Showtime or ESPN with it, unless he keeps his cable subscription active. He should make sure to try it first.
Is the Mac Pro fast enough for YouTube?
Episode 1095
Peter just bought the new Mac Pro. Leo loves his. On his old Mac, he would be looking at videos off YouTube and would get a message that it requires a faster clock speed. Is the Mac Pro fast enough? Or will an i7 iMac be faster? Leo says the iMac isn't as fast and even if it was, he'd have to spend almost as much to get to that speed. The Mac Pro uses a Xeon Workstation processor with fast cores and data buses. So in almost all operations, it's fast enough.

Shane Eli - I'm a Winner [Premiere]
Artist: Shane Eli
Producer: Shane Eli
Album: The Push
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 42 total votes )
With the rave Booth reviews he garnered for previously-featured cuts Grey Area and Knuckle Up, Shane Eli has every reason to feel like a champ – but even the highest praise from outside parties is no replacement for a healthy dose of self-esteem. On newly-leaked mixtape cut I'm a Winner (making its world premiere in the Booth!), the L.A. hopeful gives himself a much-deserved pat on the back, taking a lyrical victory lap over his own upbeat, organ-laced production. There's no denying Eli's mic skills, or his versatility on both sides of the boards – could he be destined, as he prophesizes here, to develop into "greatest of all time" material?" It's a little (OK, a lot) early to start speculating, but we can't discount the possibility. In the meantime, fans can look forward to hearing plenty more from this prodigiously talented up-and-comer on his forthcoming, DJBooth.net-sponsored mixtape, The Push.

Mutt and Jeff
Rosie Perez signed for Geena Davis pilot
by Allison Waldman, posted Apr 7th 2008 10:19AM
They've done the right thing at CBS in casting -- at least it seems right. Brooklyn native Rosie Perez will play Lorna, Geena Davis' cop partner on the force in Exit 19. I say it's the right thing, and good casting, because Lorna is supposed to be a Brooklyn girl. You can't get more authentic than Rosie Perez. She's a New Yorker through and through. In Exit 19, with Geena cast as a cop who works in the city while raising two kids in Long Island, the work atmosphere will likely seem a lot more realistic with Perez as her partner. If they can muster up the chemistry of a Cagney & Lacey, they'll be well on their way to a success. Of course, with Rosie all of five feet, one and a half inches and Geena a statuesque six feet, they're going to look like Mutt and Jeff.

A gentle, SLS-free cleanser has really helped with the hydration levels of my skin. Recently, I tried out an SLS-based face wash for review purposes and I was amazed at the difference it made to my skin. My skin felt dried up and starved of moisture.
I did realize in this entire process that simply using loads of moisturizer doesn't really help. A hydrating moisturizer is the need of the day. So, I used my trusted aloevera gel and it worked!!! Yup, try to get a water-based gel moisturizers. There are loads in the market, especially, from big brands.
Yes, something which I have NOT been doing but its extremely important. Dead skin cells are more during colder and drier months so a hydrating scrub is very effectively in preserving the lipid barriers of the skin. Raw Sugar or Jaggery works out the best for me.
Yes, I know you are afraid of oils but not oils are really oily and using correct amount of oil is very necessary. A drop or two is generally enough. And, there are loads of facial and body oils these days which do wonders for the skin.
My recommendation would be a drop or two of Apricot Oil which goes on skin like silk and makes skin amazingly soft and NO grease either. I do wanna use other amazing oils like rosehip and such and will report back after I use them ;) And, by the way, the oily skin gals can also use oils.
This is one of the tips which is really effective. Sometimes, products used can be ineffective on their own, especially for dry skins!!! So, layering helps a lot. I do that sometimes for both my face and body. The aloevera gel goes first and then I use a drop or two of any facial oil. Similarly, a body oil coupled with a great body lotion helps the body.
Please remember that all the above tips apply all over the body and not just the exposed parts. So, follow them and enjoy the soft skin this winters :) And, I am so excited for winters. Its my favorite-st climate :D How do you keep your skin protected in winters?

Droitwich photographer accredited to national society
11:20am Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in News
A DROITWICH photographer has been named as an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS).
Stewart Bourne had to put together a portfolio of 15 images of exceptional standard, with a written statement outlining what his work is intended to do.
Mr Bourne has lived in Droitwich for the past 30 years, and he had worked as an educational researcher in local government, but when he retired a few years ago, he decided to take up photography, and set himself the challenge of gaining the licentiate and now the Associate membership of the RPS.
The photographs used for the portfolio represent a personal reaction from Mr Bourne to modern urban landscapes, and the way they can leave people feeling alone and small. They are mostly in black and white, but retain some touches of colour for effect and emphasis.
He said: "The images were taken in a number of English cities and I processed them to emphasise the atmosphere and feelings I wanted them to evoke. Achieving the ARPS was a very interesting challenge - and proves you're never too old to learn and develop."
Mr Bourne is a member of Droitwich Photographic Society, Droitwich Arts Network, and Worcestershire Camera Club. To see more of his images, visit bourneimages.smugmug.com/.

Shaheen world: No Islamic ties to terrorism
But it is ridiculous, and dangerous, when the Obama administration and its apologists try, for purely political reasons, to ignore any connection at all between the religion and its most radical followers.
Shaheen helped the Obama administration turn back an effort by former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown to have the Boko Haram declared a Foreign Terrorist Organization two years ago, despite its ties with the Al Quaida Islamic terrorists.
Shaheen seconded an Obama official who told her Senate committee that it's "a very important point'' to note that "Boko Haram's philosophy is not an Islamic philosophy.''

Need an admin to fix a problem
26 March 2014 at 1:51pm
Our company used to have a website admin who left and we didn't get anyone to manage the website because we are in the process of platform change.
I have access only to content and apparently, while updating, copied some code and now cant' log-in to the website. The website is also slower than normal.
I am looking for someone who can help (all password will be provided) to restore what we had on a short-term contract basis or hourly paid.

The KONY 2012 video has generated significant controvery involving Uganda.
On March 9, the Uganda Government responded in a press Release:
Misinterpretations of media content may lead some people to believe that the LRA is currently active in Uganda. It must be clarified that at present the LRA is not active in any part of Uganda. Successfully expelled by the Ugandan Peoples Defence Forces in mid-2006, the LRA has retreated to dense terrain within bordering countries in the Central African area. They are a diminished and weakened group with numbers not exceeding 300. The threat posed by the LRA in our neighboring countries is considerably reduced and we are hopeful that it will be altogether eliminated with the help of US logistical support.
The people of Uganda, especially those in the north of the country are on a path of rebuilding, reconciliation and reintegration and are now vibrant and prospering communities. To aid this prosperity the Government implemented a 10 Year Peace, Recovery and Development Plan for Northern Uganda (PRDP).
This past January. WMI president, Robyn Nietert, assisted with training workshops for poor women in Gulu, Uganda, which was the epicenter of the LRA insurgency and subsequent IDP camps. She reported that the area was peaceful.
Over a million people were displaced in northern Uganda during the fighting and tens of thousands of children were abducted. There are currently many international NGOs and local Ugandans working on reconstruction and stabilizing the local economy, which was devastated.
WMI opened a loan hub in Gulu last October to give rural women in the area a chance to start businesses. In April, WMI will open another loan hub even further north in Atiak, the site of the largest massacre of civilians by LRA troops, which took place in 1995. Every April 20, Atiak commemorates those who died.
WMI is partnering with two local Ugandan community based organizations to launch these loan hubs: Childcare Development Organization - Uganda and Blessed Watoto (Children). These groups are working very hard, with limited resources, to bring economic opportunities to northern Uganda as it recovers from the impact of the 10 years of fighting. They are on the ground running small outreach initiatives on a daily basis. They provide services and support activities for orphaned children in the region. WMI believes that working at this grassroots level is the best way we can help the women and families of northern Uganda rebuild their lives. We appreciate your support as we bring more and more microfinance opportunities to women in East Africa who have been disenfrachised and marginalized. It is inspiring to see how they build assets to better lives with the small opportunity provided by a WMI loan.
Borrower Progress: 2011 was a year of many accomplishments for the women in the WMI loan program. Here is a quick review of their progress:
· 99% of Borrowers doubled their income in the first 6 months of joining the loan program;
· 100% of Borrowers increased savings;
· 75% of Borrowers transitioning to independent loans report they are earning at least $3,600/year; 40% are generating very large annual incomes of over $6,000/year; and, a startling 10% are earning over $8,000/year.
· 75% of Borrowers have acquired additional farm animals;
· 99% of Borrowers have improved their household meals;
· 85% of Borrowers have improved their business skills;
· 20% of borrowers have begun to hire employees to help with their businesses;
· 97% of borrowers indicate the loan program is having a positive impact on their family.
Loan Program Expansion: During 2011, WMI expanded the loan program dramatically. By the end of the last loan quarter of the year, WMI had funded its 4,000th loan. A total of over $550,000 has been lent since WMI launched in 2008. A complete table of WMI's lending history is available on the web site at: http://www.wmionline.org/Borrower-Loan-Summary-October-2011.pdf.
Loan hubs were added in Konokoya and Gulu, Uganda as well as Shikokho, Kenya. Additionally, all preliminary site work was completed on the ground to launch a new hub in Tanzania in January 2012. WMI's Local Director, Olive Wolimbwa, and a dedicated team of experienced trainers from Buyobo, Uganda visit all new loan hubs, train the first borrowers,and orient the Head Co-coordinators. Sometimes this means an arduous two day journey using erratic public transportation; but, the peer-to peer transfer of knowledge is crucial to the success of the loan program. As the staff in these new loan hubs becomes more experienced, they in turn will be able to go out to mentor loan hubs added in the future.
Local Capacity Building: WMI is not just about loans. The program builds human capacity in the villages where it operates:
· Twenty new trainers went through the World Bank developed "Training-to-Train" program, increasing WMI's capacity to effectively train new borrowers;
· Advanced business planning training for experienced borrowers was arranged throughCarmelo Cocuzza at FinAfrica in Kampala;
· Three new classrooms were constructed at Buyobo Primary School with volunteer donations, villager support and intern labor;
· A Bun and Tea Program for the teachers at Buyobo Primary School entered its second year;
· Vestergaard Fransden donated 100 treated mosquito nets to WMI;
· Reading and math books for 60 students, grades 1 - 6, were delivered to Buyobo Primary from a Williamson, NY school district;
· Fifty-eight boxes of children's books donated by WMI supporters were shipped for free and arrived in Kenya for use by village children in WMI's Siaya loan hub;
· Thousands of eyeglasses were donated to the larger Buyobo community through intern collection efforts;
Bank Partners: PostBank Uganda has proven to be an excellent banking partner for the transition to independence program. It has worked closely with WMI's Local Director and loan hub team to streamline operations and make certain that the ladies transitioning to bank loans understand the banking process. WMI is now working with Co-Operative Bank in Kenya to put a transition program in place for the ladies graduating to bank loans in the Kenya loan hubs starting in 2012.
Loan Program Accountability/Inpact/Validation: Though small, WMI has run a very structured program since its inception. In 2011, we continued to survey borrowers on a regular basis and analyze that data so that we remain accountable for program operations and so that we can measure loan program impact. This year we expanded the fact book analysis and supplemented it with a presentation on the transition to independent banking program and a 3-year comparison of borrower baseline data. http://www.wmionline.org/dataanalysis/profile/profile.html
Financial Support: WMI continued to expand support from foundations, corporations, giving circles and other non-profits. This year WMI was very gratified to receive a pledge of support from The Greater Contribution, a non-profit located in northern California. WMI works closely with TGC's president, Karon Wright, who has organized a 2012 trip to Uganda for herself and other TGC supporters so that they can witness the WMI loan program in action. In 2011, TGC generously contributed $50,000 to WMI.
The IMF Civic Fund, Towards Sustainability Foundation, Boeing Company and Global Giving all issued major follow up grants to WMI. Additionally, the US Ambassador's Fund issued a major grant to install solar power in the WMI building in Buyobo. In the fall of 2011, Greenlight Appareljoined the WMI team, pledging 12.5% of its profits to WMI (see separate article). In 2011, WMI became eligible for the Federal Combined Giving Campaign and participated in presentations and charity fairs at a number of federal agencies. Individuals distinguish themselves year after year as the mainstay of WMI's financial support. This year two people made extremely generous donations to WMI of $15,000 or more.
Honored with an annual cocktail party (a highlight of the WMI fundraising season), the WMI 500 - a group of women pledging $250 a year to WMI for at least 2 years - expanded its membership role in 2011 resulting in contributions of over $15,000 to WMI. (If you'd like to join just email:firstname.lastname@example.com). Other giving circles were formed as well. Donna Boxer of Chevy Chase, MD and her colleagues formed a giving circle that has pledged $3,500 a year to WMI for 3 years and a contribution of $2,200 for a fourth year. Amy Berger marshaled a $750 donation from her book club in Vermont. Sally Kelly organized successful "friendraisers" at her home. (To find out how to host one, email: email@example.com)
Beth Tomasello, Alison Ewing, Kathy Staudaher, Lisa Mitnick and Vicki Dorman represented WMI at local gift fairs and community events to raise over $2,500. The WMI Holiday Tribute Card was also a big hit this year, raising not only funds for WMI but raising general awareness of our mission. Individuals honored are listed on the web site on the WMI Tribute List.http://www.wmionline.org/WMI-Holiday-Tribute-List.pdf
WMI's strategy in 2011 was to seek partners to affiliate with particular loan hubs so that there would be multiple avenues of support for funding loans and developing administrative capacity in the hubs. This has worked extremely well as WMI counted as partners: Arlington Academy of Hope,Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, BIDE, Barbara Wybar and the Budduda Vocational Centre,Judy Lane and the Maasi Sustainability Initiative, Mpambarra-Cox Foundation, East Africa Center for Progressive Development, Child Development Organization (Uganda), and Laikepia Community Empowerment Centre.
These divergent streams of support converged into a mighty river in 2011: WMI has raised $190,000this year. This is $20,000 more than in 2010! These funds were truly a godsend for the women and families WMI serves: $190,000 goes a long way in the developing world. It was put to work effectively and efficiently by WMI's volunteer board and the dedicated local staff in the loan hubs (You can read about the local staff online at:http://www.wmionline.org/who/coordinators/local_coordinators.html)
Internships/Volunteers: WMI's unique economic model and collaborative structure drew increasing numbers of interns and volunteers who generously donated their time, effort and talents to improve loan program operations both in Buyobo and here in Bethesda.
Outstanding contributions were made by the eight Walt Whitman High School interns who traveled to Buyobo, Uganda this past summer. The trip so inspired them that five of these committed young adults are returning to Buyobo again in the summer of 2012 with a new group of Whitman students chaperoned by teacher Bob Mathis.
A dynamic group of college interns and recent graduates played an important role in strengthening WMI's infrastructure in Buyobo in 2011. Eva Stevenson, Jacklyn Vouthouris, Erin Kelly and Ida Stuve each spent over a month in the village working on projects as disparate as sketching the wall murals for the new school rooms, revamping the loan hub budget and expense reporting system, and shooting top quality video biographies of WMI borrowers. John Finch volunteered in Buyobo to interview villagers and prepare a booklet about Buyobo and the impact of the loan program (see separate article). Local capacity for the loan program was increased enormously by the dedicated work of WMI's Project Directors Montana Stevenson and Ainsley Morris, who rounded out 9 months of service in the field in July 2011. Their efforts resulted in the publication of a WMI Banking Manual, which is proving to be a valuable resource for the loan program.http://www.wmionline.org/Banking_Manual_FINAL.pdf
Not to be outdone, 10 high school and college students interned with WMI in Bethesda during the summer of 2011. They entered and analyzed data and produced the annual Fact Books on the loan program's impact. http://www.wmionline.org/dataanalysis/profile/profile.html. Additionally,Elizabeth Robbins, a senior at American University interned with WMI during the fall of this year.
On all fronts, 2011 was a marvelous year of loan program growth, internal development and increased financial support for WMI.
· 100% of Borrowers increased savings;
· 75% of Borrowers transitioning to independent loans report they are earning at least $3,600/year; 40% are generating very large annual incomes of over $6,000/year; and, a startling 10% are earning over $8,000/year.
· 75% of Borrowers have acquired additional farm animals;
· 99% of Borrowers have improved their household meals;
· 85% of Borrowers have improved their business skills;
· 20% of borrowers have begun to hire employees to help with their businesses;
· 97% of borrowers indicate the loan program is having a positive impact on their family.
In our newest installment in the Meet WMI Borrowers video series, we introduce you to Alice Monje, a mother of nine, whose WMI loan enabled her to start a poultry business that has transformed her family and her future. Alice lives in rural Buyobo, Uganda and was one of our first borrowers. She has now graduated from the WMI program and trasitioned to PostBank Uganda where she has an independent loan of $750 USD!
Take 3 minutes to check in with Alice, meet her family, and see how the chickens have created cash flow.
After many long hours of hard work by 10 college interns this summer, and supervision by project directors Montana Stevenson and Ainsley Morris, the 2011 WMI fact books have been finalized and posted on the WMI web site. The fact books document the loan program impact and the results continue to be impressive. They also provide an in-depth profile of the demographic characteristics of WMI borrowers on a village by village basis.
WMI 2011 Fact Books
Quick Demographic Profile:
Because WMI collected the data separately in each loan hub, it is now able to compare the information from the different hubs. For instance, in the Bumwalukani loan hub in Bududa District, Uganda over two-thirds of first time borrowers are living on less than 10 cents per day. That's one-fifth of the amount of some of the other hub locations. The ability to compare statistics gives WMI opportunities to tailor the loan program to the specific needs of different loan hubs.
The best news is that the loan program impact surveys demonstrate enormous gains by WMI borrowers after just 6 months in the loan program:
The complete loan program impact fact books are posted on the WMI web site. Check them out!
Loan Program Impact Fact Book - Buyobo, Uganda
Loan Program Impact fact Book - Siaya, Kenya
For the first time, WMI was able to prepare a comparison of baseline data from information gathered from baseline surveys of borrowers over a three year time span. The data show that the general living standards of borrowers when they enter the loan program are fairly consistent over the 3 year period. This data implies that there are no external forces or circumstances in the villages or local economy that are resulting in improvements in the general living standards of local residents. It substantiates that improvements in borrowers' living standards after they enter the loan program are attributable to their businesses and not outside factors. Comparison Fact Book.
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

Where the hell is SOUL SACRIFICE??? Not only the best game for Vita, best game on any handheld, period.
Ha ha indie games on Vita. C'mon Gamespot choose something like AAA games such as Killzone, Dragon's Crown etc.
Soul Sacrifice and Killzone Mercenary weren't even nominated? That's... garbage.
I bet Dragon's Crown isn't on here because it was considered politically incorrect by all the neutered, snooty white knights and radical feminist working at GS.
I think Tearaway will get this
Guacamelee and Tearaway will be tough...
Wait... what happened to the other Vita-exclusives this year?
Doesn't make any sense why they didn't make it.
Tearaway. Mostly because it's the only exclusive.
Tearaway all the Fcking way
Killzone: Mercenary
killzone, hands down, you get a console experience in a portable. WTF its not one of the nominees? are they trying to tell us to toss our vitas for an android device? or what?
Not sure if I'm okay with most of the nominees being multi-platform... Shouldn't Killzone Mercenary be in here?
Tearaway was amazing, but I'd give it to the revolutionary masterpiece that is Divekick.
I mean: 1V1 ME DIVEKICK BRO. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY KICK/DEATH RATIO BRO.
Tearaway looks pretty cool. I don't know much about the others though (other than Rayman).
hmm what an odd list of games
what a joke.....
No Dragons Crown, No Soul Sacrifice, and No Muramase Rebirth
I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit upset with these picks
I don't have a Vita, sadly, but Tearway looks awesome.
awards don't go based on how much money was thrown in development
I don't understand why... even if the boobs were exadurated, it looked far from appealing.
them thighs.... them horrible thighs... they were bigger than my whole body....
Well, it's not you picking the nominees, you should be reminded. ;)
@Pete5506 You read my mind.... oh and where's Persona 4 Golden???
@jacquelineferre I wouldn't have used the f word, but I share your sentiment about the absence of Dragon's Crown.
Hey, it's random-seeding. Also, you should learn how to accept the fact that other people can have preferences different from yours.
Not everything is centered around you. There is that, and thinking that anything that is different from what you expect is an abominable deviation is a mark of self-righteousness.
@pupp3t_mast3r Golden came out in 2012 so it couldn't be a part of the 2013 awards.
It did get a honorable mention in the 2012 awards due to it being a re release of a game

Avoid 'secret shopper' scam
Crooks dupe people into wiring them funds
Scammers are targeting people with promises of easy and well-paid work, Moorpark police said.
One such scam is called the "secret shopper" scam, in which applicants are supposed to work on behalf of manufacturers and retailers gathering information on how products are displayed and marketed.
While some firms do hire legitimate secret shoppers, the scam requires a financial transaction. Those answering the ad are sent a packet that contains a training assignment and a cashier's check made out for a large amount of money, according to a written statement from the Moorpark Police Department.
As part of their assignment, shoppers are supposed to cash the check at a bank and then wire most of the funds to an address supplied in the packet. The shoppers can keep a small amount of money.
They are told that they must wire the money within a day or two or they won't be paid for their work again.
This pressure to act quickly keeps the shoppers off guard and unaware that the check is counterfeit, police said.
Only later do they learn that the check is forged and that they owe the bank the entire amount of the cashed check.
Police are asking the public to not be lulled into a false sense of security just because an ad is placed in "reputable forums" such as a newspaper. Also, do not pay a company to hire you, and be suspicious of companies that ask you to spend your own money for goods you buy as a secret shopper, police said.
Never wire money to firms that have supposedly hired you, authorities said. Those who suspect a job opportunity is a scam should contact the Better Business Bureau or the Federal Trade Commission.

St. Alphonsus School students will return to classes on Monday, instead of today as anticipated.
The Rev. Alan Jurkus said the principal decided to delay opening the school until Monday after viewing the extent of the work involved in getting 17 classes ready for students following the Christmas morning fire at the Greendale parish.
The classrooms, about two-thirds of the school, received extensive smoke damage from the fire that caused more than $200,000 in damage to the parish, and its cause is undetermined.
No one was in the church, where the fire started, and no injuries were reported.

The New Orleans Police Department has identified a person of interest in last weekend's shooting on Bourbon Street that left 10 people injured.
Police are searching for 20-year-old Justin Odom.
The announcement comes on the heels of police releasing surveillance video of Odom on Tuesday.
Police say Odom is known to associate with a white male named either "Josh" or "Joe" who is also a person of interest in this investigation.
Odom is currently wanted on unrelated warrants.
Ten people were shot at about 2:45 a.m. in the 700 block of Bourbon Street on Sunday. The scanner recording reveals an intense search for suspects and the discovery of victim after victim as the scene unfolds.
City and national leaders gathered on Tuesday to discuss the mass shooting on Bourbon Street that has captured international attention, urging anyone with information on the incident to come forward.
"For those of you that are holding on to information under the guise of protecting individuals in your community who have perpetrated violence in our streets under the concept of no snitching or stop snitching, let me tell you something - that is the handiwork of the devil," said U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite.
A new call for the public to get involved comes following new information about the ten victims. Six victims are from out of state, one being from as far away as Australia, police said Tuesday.
Just before the briefing, New Orleans police released the following information about the victims. Residency is listed in bold:
Detectives are requesting for the public's assistance in obtaining any photos or videos taken of the incident or any photos or videos taken from the French Quarter on the night of the shooting to be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Alistair Farquharson, CTO of SOA Software, a provider of Enterprise API Management and SOA Governance solutions, will be delivering a presentation on Best Practices of API Management at the 11th Cloud Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center [Nov 5-8]. Farquharson's session will focus on ways that IT departments can support business objectives through APIs that open access to core information systems to external developers.
Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) expose enterprise systems to developers, including distributed, unknown third parties that create apps such as those that work on mobile devices. The goal of enterprise API management is to enable the business to realize success from APIs without inadvertently creating security and system management problems or running up unsustainable costs.
Farquharson's session, Best Practices of API Management, draws on his extensive experience at SOA Software working with large organizations to manage their APIs. The presentation will apply lessons learned from running an SOA, including:
How effective management of enterprise APIs actually begins at the design and build stages of the API life cycle:
- Planning the API
- Designing the API
- Building the API
- Sharing the API
How to focus on key areas of concern for APIs:
- Security
- Policy definition and enforcement
- Quality of Service (QoS)
- Monitoring
Enabling the API Economy Enterprises are increasingly making business applications available as APIs in order to drive business growth and expose new revenue and partnership opportunities, and ultimately to improve business effectiveness. Open APIs allow external developers to build applications that leverage core business capabilities. Enterprise APIs are offered to a more limited group to enable more demanding and subtle B2B or B2E (employee) applications. Both enterprise and open APIs are typically built on a foundation of enterprise SOA services. As such, they require robust governance.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

Is is OK to do a "core restart when convenient" from the Asterisk CLI to have changes load rather than use the GUI?
The database has to be written to the .conf files, it's not just a matter of reload.
Why would you need to restart Asterisk?
When you click apply changes the DB is used to create the Asterisk configuration and the dial plan. Asterisk reloads are then executed to reread the .conf files.

David Lee injury: Warriors F active for series vs. Spurs
- Updated: May 6, 2013
Golden State Warriors resident iron man and incumbent All-Star David Lee won't let a silly thing like a torn hip flexor keep him out of action in the Western Conference Semifinals — he'll be active for Game 1 and presumably beyond beginning on Monday as they take on the San Antonio Spurs.
Lee tore his hip flexor in Game 1 of the first round series against the Denver Nuggets. At the time, he was deemed to be out for the remainder of the postseason.According to CSN Bay Area, he is ready to give it ago come Monday.
But that all changed in Game 7 of the same series, when he made a brief, albeit inspirational cameo at Oracle Arena, which prompted the crowd to get on their feet, get energized and seemed to help the Warriors feed even more off the electricity in the building — as if that were even possible. When and if Lee does return, he nor the coaching staff expect him to be anything close to what he's capable of.
That doesn't matter, however, as the Warriors were clearly feeling good about their chances without him. With him, they figure to play more inspired basketball and draw from the prime example he's setting to the other players. Stephen Curry continues to be the catalyst for this team, and as long as he's healthy, the Warriors are in great shape.

I'm working on a piece on the case for and against Monday deadlines. As a freelancer, I've been advised in the past to ask for Monday deadlines on long projects. The idea is simple: Most project managers/editors won't deal with whatever you turn in on Friday until Monday anyway. So asking to have until Monday gives you wiggle room. You'll aim to be done… read more »
City Journal published my article on school lunch recently, "If you serve it, will they eat it?" The gist is this: a number of districts are doing some fascinating things to upgrade school lunches. This is partly in response to changing federal standards, but also in response to the foodie culture that's taking over chunks of the food industr… read more »
Retale.com has a fascinating graphic up representing how Americans spend their time. Using the BLS data set I love as well, they show what chunk of the population is doing what at any given time.
It turns out that between 8 and 9 p.m., a third of the population is watching TV. What's interesting about that is that the percentage of Americans who are workin… read more »
I like thumbing through Sarah Susanka's architectural books in the "Not-so-big House" series. I interviewed her a few years ago for All the Money in the World, and have looked through those books far more than I do through the average book that a publisher sends me.
Somewhat ironically, around the time I interviewed her, my husband and I purchased a hom… read more »
