Music veteran Akon recently gave his take on pop star Justin Bieber getting busted for allegedly kicking back a few totes of marijuana and said he will handle the situation himself.
Although 'Kon did not get too specific, he did vow to reach out to the Biebs.
Akon doesn't drink … Akon doesn't smoke … but Akon was pretty damn surprised when he found out his pal Justin Bieber might be doin' both. Akon was leaving The Ivy yesterday when we asked him about the fan reaction to the photos of Bieber puffin' away on a joint, while surrounded by Coronas, at a recent hotel party. "I gotta talk to Justin," Akon said … "I didn't know he was smoking. That's my little man … hopefully, I'll make an impact." Akon's confident he can reach his 18-year-old friend … telling us, "He's a responsible kid." (TMZ)
West Coast rapper Game recently shared some similar sentiments and defended JB's polished image.
Game — a self-proclaimed weed enthusiast — was getting his hike on in L.A. today when we asked about the Bieber pics, and Game replied, "Let's keep it real. There's a lot of people in high positions … who smoke a little weed sometimes." Game added, "I'm not saying it's okay … but [Bieber] made a mistake. Forgive him. Let him go through the growing pains of his life." And if Bieber REALLY needs to smoke out — Game says it might be worth looking into getting a prescription … for his glaucoma … or insomnia … or whatever else he can pull out of his ass on the fly. (TMZ)
Photos of Biebs allegedly indulging himself with marijuana have circulated online over the past week.
Bieber was photographed last Wednesday at a hotel-room party in Newport Beach holding what appears to be a marijuana cigarette while sitting with fellow partyers and a couple of empty beer bottles. The photos, taken in the presence of security and obtained by TMZ over the weekend, show the Biebs laughing and chatting with the lighted blunt between his fingers. Sources at the party told the website that rapper Lil Twist and his brother were rolling the blunts. The day before the pics were taken, Twist was pulled over while driving Bieber's Ferrari, and freelance photographer Chris Guerra, who was trying to snap pics of the traffic stop, was killed while crossing Sepulveda Boulevard. (Los Angeles Times)
The controversial photos even started a "#CutForBieber" harmful trend.
Justin Bieber fans are known for their extreme dedication to the pop icon, but a disturbing Twitter trend that emerged on Monday made it seem that they had take their obsession to a frightening level. The term #CutForBieber started trending, initially as a joke started by the prankster website 4Chan. The trend comes days after photos surfaced of the "Baby" singer allegedly smoking marijuana. "Let's start a cut yourself for Bieber campaign," an anonymous user wrote on a 4Chan message board, according to Billboard. "Tweet a bunch of pics of people cutting themselves and claim we did it because Bieber was smoking weed. See if we can get some little girls to cut themselves." (Fox News)

Halting Armyworm Rampage with Biological Pesticide
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Lancaster University scientists are investigating a naturally occurring virus which could cut down the African Armyworm population, preventing crop damage in the developing world.
Like locusts, the African armyworm is a major migratory insect pest in Africa. Eggs laid by African armyworm moths hatch into extremely dense swarms of caterpillars which feed voraciously on cereal crops. Up to 70 per cent of farmers across Africa suffer from crop damage and loss caused by armyworms.
Outbreaks occur in most years and spread across much of Africa.
Currently the only way to control these outbreaks is by spraying with chemical insecticides, but these are too expensive for most farmers and can damage the environment. Using a radical new solution, researchers from the UK, Canada and Tanzania will investigate the use of a naturally occurring virus in armyworms - armyworm nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV).
NPV is a highly specific virus, harmless to humans and other wildlife, but in most years the virus appears too late to prevent armyworms from causing serious crop damage.
This new project funded by Sustainable Agriculture Research for International Development (SARID) will study the detailed biology of NPV with a plan to harness it as a biological pesticide to prevent the early spread of armyworms and the resulting loss in crops.
It is a collaboration between Lancaster University; Natural Resources Institute, Greenwich; Laurentian University, Canada; and Sokoine University of Agriculture, Tanzania
The research forms part of a new £7M research programme tackling some of the most damaging and widespread pests, diseases and harsh environmental conditions which can devastate crop yields across the developing world.
The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Department for International Development (DFID) are unveiling 12 new projects as part of their flagship SARID initiative - to harness the UK's world class bioscience research base to address the challenges of agriculture and food security in developing countries.
The new projects will look at how a variety of crops - from maize to coconuts, rice to bananas - respond at a molecular level to hostile factors including attack by pests and diseases as well as inclement conditions. Their findings will offer new and exciting opportunities to develop crops better able to survive and thrive in their changing environments. Such advances in crop science could revolutionise the way farmers are able to farm across the developing world and have a significant impact on reducing poverty.

Along with the referee, Moolah changed the ending and took the belt off of Richter, whom the legendary performer trained.

The following table describes the main characteristics of both types of clouds. This is not an exhaustive list, I'm just putting it here to illustrate some of the differences between both philosophies.
|Datacenter Virtualization
|Infrastructure Provision
|Multi-tiered applications defined in a traditional, "enterprise" way
|"Re-architected" applications to fit into the cloud paradigm
|Feature-rich API and administration portal
|Simple cloud APIs and self-service portal
|Management Capabilities
|Complete life-cycle management of virtual and physical resources
|Simplified life-cycle management of virtual resources with abstraction of underlying infrastructure
|Cloud Deployment
|Mostly private
|Mostly public
|Internal Design
|Bottom-up design dictated by the management of datacenter complexity
|Top-down design dictated by the efficient implementation of cloud interfaces
|Enterprise Capabilities
|High availability, fault tolerance, replication, scheduling… provided by the cloud management platform
|Most of them built into the application, as in "design for failure"
|Datacenter Integration
|Easy to adapt to fit into any existing infrastructure environment to leverage IT investments
|Built on new, homogeneous commodity infrastructure
This classification of existing cloud models is not new. The "Datacenter Virtualization" and "Infrastructure Provider" cloud models have received different names by different authors: "Enterprise Cloud" and "Next Generation Cloud" by many analysts, "Cloud-in" and "Cloud-out" by Lydia Leong, "Enterprise Cloud "and "Open Cloud" by Randy Bias,"Enterprise Cloud" and "Private Cloud" by Simon Wardley, "Private Cloud" and "Public Cloud" by Matt Asay, and"Policy-based Clouds" and "Design for fail Clouds" by Massimo Re Ferrè, who also categorized these models as "Design Infrastructure to support Applications" versus "Design Applications that leverage Infrastructures".
Two Different Flavors of Cloud Management Platforms
Existing open-source CMPs can be placed somewhere in between both models. We have created a chart, the CMP Quadrant, aiming to aid corporations to better understand the present and future landscape of the cloud market. One of the dimensions is the "Cloud Model" and the second one represents "Flexibility" in terms of the capabilities of the product to adapt to datacenter services and to be customized to provide a differentiated cloud service. This dimension captures the grade of adaptability of the product, and goes from low to high. Finally, we have placed in the chart the main open-source players in the cloud ecosystem: Eucalyptus, CloudStack, OpenStack and OpenNebula... or at least those tools that are commonly compared to OpenNebula by our users and customers.
Some important clarifications,
- We are not suggesting that one position (read "tool") in the chart is better than other, only that some of the CMPs are so different that cannot be compared, they are on completely different tracks (read "zones in the Quadrant").
- The chart does not represent absolute values, the relevant information is in the relative positions of the CMPs with respect to their "Cloud Model" and "Flexibility".
- The openness of the software is orthogonal to this chart, you can also use it to compare proprietary CMPs.
- Any CMP can be used to build either public or private clouds, all of the CMPs in the Quadrant implement cloud APIs.
- And last, but not least, this map is not static, the different CMPs will move right, left, up or down over time, but they cannot be simultaneously in different places. There is not a single perfect solution for every possible scenario.
Comparing vCloud to AWS or comparing vCloud to OpenStack is like comparing apples to oranges as it has been clearly expressed by Massimo Re Ferrè and Boris Renski respectively. Both are fruits but with very different flavor. That being said, it is clear that since all the tools enable infrastructure cloud computing, there is always some overlap in the features that they provide. This overlap tends to be larger for those tools that are closer on the "Cloud Model" axis.
There are fundamental differences in philosophy and target market between OpenNebula and Eucalyptus They are in opposite zones of the Quadrant servicing different needs and implementing completely different philosophies. I would say that they represent the open-source incarnations closer to vCloud and AWS respectively. In the same way many companies compare OpenNebula with OpenStack because both represent flexible solutions that can be adapted to their needs, but wrongly think that both enable the same type of cloud. It is also clear that Eucalyptus and OpenStack meet the same need and so compete for the same type of cloud.
Looking to the Future
In OpenNebula, we do not think that one cloud model will dominate over the other. They may converge at the very long term, but not before 10 years. Consequently, and because a single CMP can not be all things to all people, we will see an open-source cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. This will be the natural evolution, the same happened in other markets. The four open-source CMPs will coexist and, in some cases, work together in a broad open cloud ecosystem.
To a certain extent, this collaboration has started yet. Some of our users have reported experiences using OpenNebula with other cloud platforms:
- Some corporations are mixing an Enterprise Cloud with an in-house Cloud Service. They are implementing a cloudbursting architecture where an OpenNebula enterprise cloud bursts to an OpenStack- or Eucalyptus-based cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes.
- Other corporations are using components from different projects to build their cloud. The integration capabilities of OpenNebula are allowing its integration with OpenStack Swift or OpenStack Quantum for object/block store and networking management respectively in the data center.
We are sure that in the short term we will see some of the open-source CMPs working together, while at the same time finding ways to differentiate themselves in their own cloud markets.

Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

Busta Rhymes - Calm Down
Artist: Busta Rhymes
Featuring: Eminem
Producer: Scoop DeVille
Album: E.L.E. 2
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 18 votes )
Calm Down, Booth readers! I know a fresh single from Busta Rhymes is a big deal, but it's tough to fully appreciate a piece of music while hyperventilating. Now that you've taken a few deep breaths, prepare for a blast from the past. Not only does this cut find Snoop Deville flipping House of Pain's '98 classic, Jump Around, but Buss-A-Bus's verses possess a dash of that unhinged style that made his early work legendary. As if the headliner's rapid-fire bars weren't enough, Eminem jumps on the track to deliver a closing verse as witty and technically dazzling as anything on his last album. Busta Rhymes's E.L.E. 2 LP has yet to receive a drop date from the YMCMB brass, but we'll keep you posted on the project as further details emerge.

Manchester fire displaces family
Manchester firefighters pack up after putting out a fire at 116 Notre Dame Ave, about a block from West High School on Thursday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
MANCHESTER - A family of four was displaced by a fire on the third floor of an apartment building at 116 Notre Dame Ave. Thursday night, according to city Fire District Chief Michael Gamache.
Gamache said the fire was reported about 9:30 p.m. Thursday. He said the fire was on the ceiling of the third-floor apartment and was advancing to the attic before firefighters extinguished it.
He said the displaced family is staying with relatives. Nobody was injured in the fire, which caused about $10,000 worth of damage, Gamache said.
Gamache said accessing the home, which was on a hill, was "both dangerous and challenging" for fire crews because of Thursday's snowstorm.

PopUp Exhibition | Rabbi James Brandt on the Magic of Hanukkah
Date & Time:Wednesday December 17, 2014 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM
Location:The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, 2121 Allston Way, Berkeley
Celebrate the magic of Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, at the Magnes Collection! Join Rabbi James Brandt for an exploration of the meaning of Hanukkah today. Rabbi Brandt is the CEO of the Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Foundation of the East Bay. He joined the Federation in 2003 and became its Executive Director in June 2009. Rabbi Brandt studied environmental design at Berkeley and earned a master's degree in architecture from MIT prior to receiving rabbinical ordination from Hebrew Union College and becoming the first full-time rabbi at Congregation Beth Sholom in Napa. His presentation will be structured around Hanukkah lamps in the Magnes Collection, with specific emphasis on a brass lamp manufactured in Germany or the Netherlands in the late 18th century. This lamp -- which the Magnes purchased as part of the Siegfried S. Strauss Collection in 1967 -- was likely used for lighting Hanukkah candles in a synagogue.
Each week, UC Berkeley faculty and students, visiting artists and other notable guests present brief lectures focused on selected treasures from the The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life. One speaker and one object at the time, these "flash" exhibitions will include the opportunity to view the art and artifacts discussed intimately and up close. Bring your own lunch, enjoy complimentary refreshments, and take part in an exciting learning program, free and open to the public. Close-up view of collections included.
The Magnes Auditorium
2121 Allston Way, Wednesdays Noon-1 pm
Presentation begin promptly at 12:15 pm
October 1, 8, 15, 22, 29; November 5, 12, 19; December 3, 10, 17
Check The Magnes calendar and our Facebook page for updates
Co-presented with The Jewish Federation of the East Bay

It seems like they make a video game out of EVERY movie these days.
Well, now one of my recent favorites has become Jasper the Douchebag ghost. [face_laugh]
There's going to be a Speed Racer movie?
I have more than one favorite, such as the Pokemon bloopers, the one with Sailor Moon and the "This is your brain on drugs" skit.
I like it, and I find the twisted humor funny because I like crazy comedy shows.
I do, but that's why it's funny.
A little twisted humor never hurt anyone.
I've watched it, and I must say that I enjoy it.
I remember seeing the new version (1998 remake), on Nickelodeon GAS, about twice. That was the last of anything Speed Racer related that I've seen...
Really? I've never heard anything about a new Spawn game.
Forget it, I beat him.
There's this part in the game I just can't get past; in that part is a gorilla that I just can't beat. Does anyone know any tips?

For those of you who don't know me, I love the 1920s. I love everything about the 20s but mostly hats from the 20s. I asked Miss Kiki Cunningham of Ki-Squared to make me some sculpties for hats. She did just this and now I can present to you the Zelda collection of hats! They come in different colors and can be completely resized to fit your head/hair! I'm so thrilled Kiki can take stuff out of my head and go BOOM here it is. Thank you Kiki, I adore you!
I've posted these hats at the Starlust Motel for now. They are 100L and are mod, copy, no trans. I will be releasing a second batch of them soon!

Wits hopes 'science stadium' will set stage for new science championsBack
Construction|Engineering|Africa|Education|Industrial|PROJECT|Africa|Equipment|Screen|Environmental|Kevin Balkwill|Melanie Keartland

The facility also has a number of different laboratories, specifically chemistry (376 seats), biology (300 seats) and physics (408 seats), and holds 23 tutorial rooms, some sponsored by industrial companies, seating between 30 and 50 students each. The projected occupancy of the tutorial rooms and lecture auditoria will be 95%, she adds.
"This facility is specifically for first-year engineering, health sciences and science, but it is also focused on liberating space in the existing discipline-specific buildings for research and postgraduate studies, and providing the postgraduate scientists of the future," she says.
The university has about 3 200 first-year sciences students, which is a significant portion of its total 30 000 student complement, and aims to increase this number to 5 000, making the development of the facility a priority.
"We are a research institution and must ensure that we have postgraduate students, specifically master's and PhD students, to conduct primary research."
Lectures are recorded as podcasts and there are cameras above the lecturers to enable them to project demonstrations, experiments and calculations onto a big screen, so that all the students can participate. Further, the lecture halls also have equipment that enables lecturers to use input from students, in the form of multiple-choice feedback, to ascertain whether students have grasped key concepts.
"We now have space in the physics and chemistry buildings for laboratories for postgraduates. We expect to have more postgraduates over the next few years. Not only are we dealing with the quantity issue, but because we have consolidated our teaching, we are also dealing with the quality of graduates. "We are also starting to refur- bish the discipline-specific build- ings to make additional space for more postgraduate laboratories," she details.
The new science stadium enables more effective teaching of undergraduates, which means that undergraduates are better prepared for postgraduate studies, says University of the Witwatersrand head of the School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences Professor Kevin Balkwill.
"We attract a number of postgraduate students from Africa and across disciplines but the bulk of our postgraduates come from our own students," he notes.
"The laboratories in the science stadium are specifically for under- graduates and are much more spacious than our previous laboratories."
There is a significant interlock between the university's sciences and engineering disciplines, says Keartland, adding that the university aims to consolidate its science libraries and open a single, modern library near the stadium.
Balkwill cites the numbers of natural sciences students, noting that while mathematics has a flat growth rate for the year, geo- logical sciences have enrolled 140 students, at least double their usual 60 complement.
"We have 530 first-year students in the introductory life sciences course who will enter into the fields of anatomy, physiology, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, plant sciences, zoology, and environmental science, ecology and conservation. "We have had to do a reshuffle of first-year health sciences practical classes because we could not cope with the numbers.
"One of the former first-year laboratories has already gone to molecular and cell biology, because, instead of having 119 second-year students, as they did last year, they have 190 this year. On the postgraduate side, one of the former first-year labs will be used to house postgraduate students of three research groups," he emphasises.
"We now have space to accommodate postgraduate students and will need to increase our staff," he adds.
"Further, we are emphasising research readiness in our undergraduate teaching. The science stadium facilitates better first-year teaching and [should improve] pass rates, which, in turn, leads to better development of high-level skills in more second- and third-year students. This will mean that students graduating with degrees will be better prepared for undertaking research within their postgraduate degrees," he says.
"It is not just the skills but the ethos that university education creates. People who have gone through university, for example engineers, are more likely to become entrepreneurs, to develop new technologies, new businesses, innovation and research and development," says Keartland.
