This week's selection includes an image of the back of an Apple MacBook with graphics showing Snow White helping herself to the Apple logo, an article about a UK jail that asked a convicted computer hacker and inmate to design a program for their prison (the hacker was left unsupervised and shut down the jail's entire computer network), a webpage that explains how to cut a key from an angled photo, a website that lets you create your own video-sound work and a website that shows a collection of images with a retro-futuristic space theme.

Rupert Murdoch and 'unverified' missus in Twitter tangle
Despite his former disdain for the internet, media mogul Rupert Murdoch has joined the Twitterati, apparently with his wife in tow. The verified Twitter account of Murdoch started issuing opinions on New Year's Eve – addressing such diverse topics as American politics, the latest book he read, and what he thought of Steve Jobs' …
Dear God!
"Rupert and Wendi Murdoch caught flirting on Twitter"
Pass the mind bleach now!
I wonder...
...which newspaper will be first to crack his account?
Does anyone recall when Flasheart crashed in on Blackadder ?
"Excuse me, there's a bucket I have to be sick into" ("Private Plane", Blackadder goes Forth)
we need a "heave" icon.
According to another article on this, John Prescott sent him something like, "i've left you a happy new year message on my answerphone."
Thought that was pretty good, so I wonder who writes Prezza's material.
Obviously listens to the Now Show (although they may have nicked that joke from someone else too)
The Plaid Avenger?
"....an enlightener of American students on all things global." apparently.
Presumably somewhere in Hades, Sisyphus is looking at that and thinking that just maybe he hasn't got it so bad after all.....
Any Bets...
On how long before the account gets hacked?
jessysaurusrex says
"@edtechdigest Did you see this? Rupert Murdoch is accidentally following a Plaid Avenger parody account :-) tinyurl.com/7bhmd6c"

Franks International soars in first day of trading, benefits from 'good timing'
Send this to a friend
- Molly Ryan
- Reporter- Houston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
On its first day of trading, Frank's International NV (NYSE: FI) is already up almost 20 percent.
The manufacturer of tubular services and technologies for the oil and gas industry priced its initial public offering at $22 per share on Friday.
Shortly after the shares began trading, the company's stock had soared to $28.60. It closed Friday at $26.35, up 19.77 percent.
Frank's is based in the Netherlands, but it has its U.S. headquarters and operations based in Houston. In the past few years, the company has recorded significant growth and has made the Houston Business Journal's Fast 100 list of the fastest-growing private companies in Houston.
From 2009 to 2011, Frank's saw a 37 percent increase in revenue, and it closed out 2011 with $739 million in revenue.
One of the reason's why Frank's could be doing so well on its first day of trading is that its primary market, the offshore energy market, is growing, explained Stephen Ellis, an energy analyst at Morningstar Inc. in Chicago.
"Frank's has a very good competitive position within offshore tubulars, and we see the offshore markets as particularly attractive from a growth standpoint," Ellis said in an email. "I'm not surprised to see the stock price spike, as it is a good company leveraged to the right market. It was good timing for the firm to go public."

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
"Navigating the decision to engage in the therapeutic process can feel overwhelming and intimidating. However, the journey can be one of great reward. Treatment begins with an understanding of you as a unique individual; through collaboration as well as active engagement the process of individual, couple, or family therapy evolves. Therapy includes exploration of your past and present relationships, experiences, and struggles so that a deeper understanding of self can be achieved. Greater self-awareness allows for the opportunity to make intentional choices, increased confidence in your authentic self, and navigation of future struggles in an effective way.
(832) 981-6318
"Consider that the path to pursue your passions and dreams is actually within your reach. What if you could begin this process today, and no longer carry burdens from the past with you? Past traumatic experiences often leave an imprint on the mind/body in such a way that present-day stressors can easily trigger a recurrent emotional/physical stress response. Each environmental trigger validates an automatic physical stress response because the central nervous system is pre-set/pre-wired to be ON ALERT. Stress can be cumulative and create illness or a disease process over time (i.e., fibromyalgia, CFIDS, autoimmune response, etc.).

The Veterans Affairs and Defense department's efforts to integrate healthcare facilities has hit a snag. The two medical centers involved in the first full-scale attempt, involving the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago has had a hard time blending its IT, according to a Government Accountability Office report.
VA and DOD planned to integrate 12 specific areas in the project, and IT is the only one to be delayed, the GAO found. The others are complete or in progress.
"Despite some progress, the FHCC continues to face costly delays in the IT integration area," the report reads. "The Executive Agreement specified three key IT capabilities that VA and DOD were required to have in place on opening day, in October 2010, to facilitate interoperability of VA and DOD electronic health record systems."
In a previous GAO report issued in 2011, all three of the components were delayed, the new report says. The HCC implemented "costly workarounds to address the needs these capabilities were intended to serve."
While the components were not ready in time for the center's opening, officials told GAO that medical single sign-on and single patient registration became operational by December 2010. However, portability of pharmacy and consults orders were still delayed as of May 2012.

Without a future vision and an appetite for risk, reforms lead down a rabbit hole. There is a better way.
VA's top tech official says he is balancing risks while trying to keep the department's online services open for business.
After five years on the job, the founding director of the Office of Government Information Services believes that a deeper understanding and acceptance of FOIA is seeping into the federal government.
The September attack, made public Nov. 10, potentially puts customer and employee personal information at risk, including addresses, Social Security numbers and emails.

Archie Mackie became product director of enterprise computing at the Army PEO EIS in June. In a Nov. 7 interview with FCW, he explained why the Army is cautious but hopeful in its adoption of the cloud.
While IT procurement and design are already quite centralized under the Office of Information and Technology, sources tell FCW that telemedicine IT and app development at the Veterans Health Administration will be rolled up under the OI&T as well.
Steve Kelman argues that the best place to improve federal procurements is at the beginning.

That's important because the stock market, even if it has no direct bearing on the fundamentals of the economy, is a psychological motivator of spending because of something known as the wealth effect.
Even people with no stock investments will let their decisions be influenced by swings in the Dow. When it's up, we tend to feel richer and spend more. When it's down — think back to the 500-point daily declines of 2008 — we tend to feel poorer and spend less.
There's good reason the Dow has pull over the financial mood of the country. Its 30 stocks account for 25 to 30 percent of the market value of all U.S. public companies, and about 40 percent of the dividends, Dow Jones Indexes estimates.
"Nothing of substance can happen in this economy without these companies feeling it," Prestbo says.
A handful of companies have an outsized impact on the index. The Dow is a price-weighted average, which means companies with more expensive stocks have more power to drive the average higher or lower.
If you invest $30 in a mutual fund tracking the Dow, you don't have a dollar riding on each company. Four times as much of your money would end up on Home Depot, which is trading around $45, than Alcoa, trading around $11.
IBM, the highest-priced stock in the Dow, had a giant influence last year. The Dow rose 5.5 percent in 2011, but without IBM it would have risen only 3.4 percent, according to Leiphart's calculations.
If you were to cut out the next three stocks on the list, McDonald's, Chevron and ExxonMobil, then the Dow would have finished down 0.25 percent for the year.
The flip side is that stocks like Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Microsoft and Intel trade well below the 13 times earnings for the full Dow. If they catch up, it could be enough to power the average to a record.

Exxon wants brakes put on state's use of MtBE settlement for anything but cleanup
"You don't want to limit their flexibility," he said, "because they may face some situations in the future that we didn't anticipate. There is no doubt that MTBE is going to be cleaned up. It's only a question of how much flexibility the state is going to have."
"Can there be any doubt as to why the state did not tell the jury that it actually intended to convert any award for future testing and remediation into a contribution by ExxonMobil to New Hampshire's general budget," they wrote.
"Unlike private corporations, money that goes into the general fund doesn't go to pay a CEO bonus; it all goes to the public benefit and public programs," he said. "It's not a black hole. It's a source of all the public services in New Hampshire."
"The state must ensure it has adequate resources to test and treat new Hampshire's waters in the future," he wrote. "Thus the court agrees with Exxon's first argument — that a trust is necessary to protect the (result) of the jury award — but only to a limited extent."
In making its case, ExxonMobil cites the fact that the state is now using $21 million from a national settlement reached with tobacco companies and $9 million in previous MTBE settlements to help create the current state budget surplus, and has invested little in tobacco education.

Would you too like to learn how to misinform people, mangle English, and toss cherry-picked factoids that avoid the real point? How about studying to be an apologist for scientists who take your taxes, but hide their data? Or perhaps you've always dreamed of being an obedient useful fool for the State, to help promote propaganda that governments can change the weather if the people just pay enough money?
Are you looking for a cause to pick up that you can brag about at parties to prove your social superiority, impress teenage girls, or hide your low self-esteem? Do you crave an outlet where you get the thrill of being a namecalling bully, but with the excuse that you are "saving the planet" and "being scientific"?
Good news, Queensland University is dumping any pretense that its science faculty uses logic or reason or has an interest in observable evidence. The university is advertising that abusing English definitions and words meets its standards of higher education. After all, no one denies we have climate, and "climate deniers" don't exist, but it's a useful propaganda term to fog, veil and clog up the public debate about climate science. John Cook who runs the course even admits that it's an inaccurate term, but he won't stop namecalling. The last thing we want of course, is a polite discussion of a complex topic. If fans of the man-made climate crisis have to provide evidence, or answer questions, the facade would crumble.
The best defense is offense, and the best offense is to be really offensive. Bring on the namecalling, derision, and character assassination. Skeptics are scum like holocaust deniers, and have a brain like a lizard. Don't listen to them whatever you do!
Come learn these stone-age techniques: serve the names up with half-truths, lies by omission, and be a better useful idiot. Big bankers, parasitic industries, and self-serving politicians need you!
Calling all bullies, sign up now for Making Sense of Climate Science Denial at UQ.
Tony Thomas can't wait: "I've only about 120 sleeps to the start of my Denial 101X course. I hope to be a John Cook Laureate." Reader, Pat has signed up too.

About this Course
In public discussions, climate change is a highly controversial topic. However, in the scientific community, there is little controversy with 97% of climate scientists concluding humans are causing global warming.
In the climate science community there is little controversy, because most people who question the hypothesis have been sacked, attacked, find it hard to publish papers and are subject to name-calling, exile, intimidation, and "climate apostasy". There are no grants for skeptics, and monopolistic funding has purchased a "consensus".
John Cook's unscientific 97% study started as a logical fallacy, and ended by using irrelevant and mis-assigned papers to claim that a 0.3% consensus by their own definition was actually a 97% consensus (by quietly using a different definition). Nonetheless it is a quasi proxy for funding ratios in climate science, though it overestimates skeptical funding because many skeptical papers are written by volunteers. The real funding ratio is not 97 to 3 but more like 3500 to 1.
- The study can't be replicated. (Legates et al)
- The data is hidden. Either Cook et al didn't keep it (and are incompetent) or they did but it does not reflect well on them and they won't release it (they are incompetent and deceptive too?).
- The definitions changed between the claims in the abstract and those in the paper. (Legates et a;)
- The raters were not independent. 7% of the ratings were wrong, and biased.
- The ratings data shows inexplicable patterns.
- Cook et al fail to report that their data fail their own validation test.
- Most of the papers were irrelevant. Those authors were writing about "impacts" or "mitigation" of climate change and not about the cause of climate change. Obviously skeptical scientists will not write about "mitigation" or "impacts" of climate change, so including these papers (and there are thousands) served the purpose of increasing the total number of papers claimed to be surveyed and also increases the percentage of "consensus". That is an utterly predictable outcome. Good PR, lousy design.
- It's not a representative sample, and Cook did not test to see if it was.
- The paper is used to make profoundly unscientific statements in the media. Cook et al endorse the fallacies.
In the wider scientific community there is so much controversy that skeptics outnumber believers, scientific associations have had revolts about climate change, scientists have quit their failing institutions, protested by hundreds on blogs.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Choice of birth, feeding method changes babies' gut bacteria, study finds
TORONTO - A new study suggests the way babies are born and fed in early life affects the bacteria they carry around in their gut.
And that in turn may influence their future health, including things like whether they will develop asthma, allergies or other medical conditions.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Alberta, is published in this week's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Senior author Anita Kozyrskyj says it is important that medical teams and parents understand that the choices made about mode of delivery and method of feeding have an impact.
She and colleagues studied the gut microbiomes of 24 infants; that's the term for the diverse collection of bacteria people carry in their intestinal tracts.
They found distinct differences in the numbers and types of bacteria present when they compared babies born by caesarean section to those born by vaginal birth, as well as babies breastfed and fed with formula.
Kozyrskyj says the study was done because too little is known about the possible implications of delivering by C-section or feeding by bottle.
"There are a lot of things we don't know about the impact of health-care interventions such as caesarean section delivery on the developing infant. To date most of the evidence informing physicians and I guess families too is focused on the mother," says Kozyrskyj, who is a research chair and associate professor in the department of pediatrics at the University of Alberta.
It's long been known that people carry an enormous number of bacteria in and on their bodies, most of which are benign or even helpful. For instance, friendly bacteria in the gut help protect against invaders that are ingested with contaminated food and which could cause illness.
It's said that bacteria in the gut outnumber the cells in the respiratory tract by a ratio of 10 to one.
In recent years, though, it has become increasingly clear that the wrong balance of bacteria can have negative health implications.
So Kozyrskyj and colleagues used a DNA sequencing technique to identify the bacteria in 24 babies' guts by studying a stool sample from each. The samples were taken when the babies were four months old.
They found a greater variety of bacteria in the children born vaginally as compared to those that were born by planned C-section — though babies born by emergency C-section had even higher variety of bacteria than those born vaginally.
Kozyrskyj says she can only speculate on why that is, but it might reflect the fact that vaginal birth started before the need for a C-section interrupted the process.
Infants who were exclusively breastfed had a less varied collection of gut bacteria than those who were bottle fed. But in this case, more isn't necessarily better, Kozyrskyj says. Some of the bacteria found in the stools of bottle-fed babies were the types that could cause illness, such as Clostridium difficile, which can cause diarrhea.
A commentary published with the study says mammals like humans get an early start on the development of their immune systems as they pass through their mothers' birth canals. And breast milk further assists that process, creating conditions in which beneficial bacteria can set up shop while harmful ones are kept at bay, say the authors, from the University of Colorado and the University of Puerto Rico.
"Although we do not yet fully understand how changes in microbial diversity or composition can affect microbiome function, certain types of disruption during development may have lifelong effects on the baby's microbiome and thus the individual," says the commentary. Rob Knight, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Early Career Scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is the senior author of the commentary.
Kozyrskyj says it's not currently known what an ideal microbiome is, or how critical it is for babies to acquire certain types of bacteria at particular points in their development.
She says the group responsible for this work hopes to conduct a larger study, analyzing the microbiomes of 200 infants and comparing results from an early stool sample to one taken after one year.
Some C-section births are medically necessary, to save the mother, the baby or both. But the rate of elective C-sections has been on the rise in Canada and elsewhere, Kozyrskyj says, and is a source of concern.
The study says more than one in four babies in Canada is born by caesarean section and less than 15 per cent of babies are breastfed exclusively for the first six months, as recommended.
It notes that babies delivered by C-section are more likely to develop asthma and Type 1 diabetes, and are at higher risk of being obese later in life.
"Although caesarean section delivery has been shown to be relatively risk free, there are some risks," Kozyrskyj says.
"I think we should be mindful of the impact on the infant. Even though there might not be obvious symptoms or changes that you see in the infant, that there are some changes to biological processes. Normal physiologic processes."

Battlestar Galactica panel at Sci Fi's digital press tour, part two - VIDEO
by Keith McDuffee, posted Jun 27th 2007 3:20PM
I'm finally through what's been a surreal yet exhausting couple of days in Vancouver. On my long trip back to Boston, I'll be preparing some stuff for you all to read, mostly dealing with how, as a fan of these shows, what it's like to step foot on the actual filming locations and touch things that, until now, we've only seen on television.
As promised, here's the second part of the digital press tour panel with cast members of Battlestar Galactica. I'm hoping to get the Atlantis and Eureka (and Flash Gordon) panels up within the next couple of days, as long as my new copy of the films work this time around. Enjoy!
Battlestar Galactica panel at Sci Fi's digital press tour, part one - VIDEO
by Keith McDuffee, posted Jun 27th 2007 9:02AM
OK folks, I'm a bit jetlaggy and all out of sorts, but this is the best I could pull together for you until I'm back on my game later today. As you know, I'm out in Vancouver at a "digital press tour" thrown by Sci Fi for several of its hits shows, including, of course, Battlestar Galactica. As part of the tour, we were all given DVDs of the interview panels we did for each of the shows (Eureka, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica).
I'd like to thank the folks of Sci Fi and of course the guys from Battlestar who took the time to come sit with us for an hour.
Part one of the panel is after the jump. I'll have the second part ready later today. Enjoy!
First 13 minutes of Battlestar Galactica are online
by Anna Johns, posted Oct 4th 2006 6:33PM
Everybody's wondering whether BSG is going to suck this year since the season finale seriously altered the direction of the show. You can get a sneak peek of the season three premiere (which airs on Friday) over at SciFi's website and decide for yourself. The first 13 minutes of the episode, or the "First Act", is available for viewing. It basically answers the question, "What will happen next?" You'll see how the humans and Cylons are living/interacting on New Caprica. I'll just say that everybody seems to be working on their own method of survival... and Starbuck seriously kicks some ass.
Based on just those 13 minutes, I'd say BSG fans don't have anything to worry about. Then again, I liked the turn the show took at the end of last season and I like what I see so far.
*The video played for me in Internet Explorer, but had trouble with it in Firefox.
[Thanks, Akbar!]

Galactica's third season begins in October
by Anna Johns, posted Mar 9th 2006 10:09AM
As Battlestar Galactica wraps up its second season tomorrow night with a 90-minute finale, its cast is just about to start shooting season three. Just to keep all of us fans sane, Sci Fi has already announced that Galactica will return to its Friday night timeslot in October, although a specific date has not been revealed. The network has ordered 20 episodes. We already know that Lucy Lawless will return as cylon for a 10-episode arc next season. It looks like we'll get to see most of the major cast members again next season, too. Filming of season three of BSG starts in April in Vancouver, B.C.

HOUSTON (CBS HOUSTON) – A teenager is behind bars after authorities said he threatened to shoot up a school and stream the killings online.
The FBI and Harris County authorities arrested 19-year-old Patrick Hudson Tuesday and charged him with making a terroristic threat.
The FBI said in a statement that they received a tip saying that Hudson was threatening in an Internet chat room to kill elementary school students in Katy.
"What better way to go out with a bang than killing a bunch of little kids," SS_Patrick posted, according to court documents obtained by the Houston Chronicle.
The posts also stated that he wanted to leave a few of the children alive and asking how to live-stream the shooting on the Internet, the Chronicle reports.
According to KRIV-TV, Hudson told authorities that the posts were a joke.
He appeared in a Harris County court Wednesday and is being held on $100,000 bond.

Wainwright (6-7) gave up two runs on six hits to pick up the win. He struck out four and walked one.
"That's the key thing of pitching with the lineup like we have is just making sure you go deep into the game," Wainwright said. "Give your offense a chance to score a bunch of runs. I feel like our team is very talented."
Alex Gordon and Yuniesky Betancourt both knocked in a run for the Royals, who have lost two in a row after winning their previous two games.
Luis Mendoza (2-4) allowed four runs on seven hits over 4 1/3 innings. He has not won since May 13.

Holliday's base hit was a sharp grounder that deflected off third baseman Mike Moustakas' glove. Kelvin Herrera took over for Mendoza and immediately gave up an RBI single to Beltran.
"The whole game I just tried to pitch to contact to stay in the game long enough," Mendoza said. "In the fifth inning, the ball just found the holes. I just tried to keep doing the same thing I've been doing."
Meanwhile, Wainwright was on cruise control after allowing a leadoff bunt single to Gordon in the first. He went on to retire eight straight batters before giving up a leadoff walk to Gordon in the fourth.
