Several army police officers have been killed in an attack on a checkpoint on the outskirts of Cairo, Egyptian state media report.
Major General Mahmoud Yousri, chief of security of Qalubiya province, told state news agency MENA that the attackers stormed the checkpoint early on Saturday in the Shubra al-Kheima suburb.
Yousri said explosive disposal experts managed to defuse two bombs left behind by the attackers.
It was the latest in a series of attacks on security forces across Egypt in recent months, and comes just two days after a soldier was shot dead as armed men attacked an army bus in the capital.
The army blamed both Saturday's and Thursday's attacks on ousted President Mohamed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, according to a military statement.
The group did not immediately comment on the latest attack, but it has strongly condemned the previous one, saying the targeting of army soldiers and civilians is a "heinous crime that requires a thorough and transparent investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice".
Armed groups have launched scores of attacks, mainly targeting security forces, since the military overthrew Morsi in July. About 300 security officers have been killed.
Most of the attacks have taken place in the restive Sinai Peninsula, but in recent months the violence has also reached the Nile Delta and the capital.
The most prominent attacks, including a car bombing at a police headquarters in Cairo and the downing of a military helicopter in Sinai, have been claimed by Sinai-based Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.
The group has said the attacks are in retaliation for a brutal government crackdown on Morsi's supporters, which Amnesty International says has claimed some 1,400 lives.

Most of the art portals that are to be seen as apps have tended to be rather staid looking affairs that cater purely for the collector.

One of the dangers of online retailing is the possibility that you lose track of your competitors. If you have a retail store in your local mall it's pretty easy to keep track of what your opposition is doing because they tend to plaster it all over their windows but, with your online competition coming from all over the country (or the world, if it comes to that,) it may take a little more effort.

It used to be quite exciting to buy a second hand book and have someone's detailed notes explaining certain moments and drawing attention to other significant passages.

This product does not come with any instructions therefore if you have mercury poisoning and take this continuously you will feel extremely bad as the metal swirls around your body but doesn't actually leave. I am now taking dsma and ala orally but read about edta suppositories and as I had this in the cupboard I made my own with 1000mg and coconut oil (put in freezer) to make a suppository (I used a section of a babybottle teat with tape on the bottom). It worked so well!!!! I had really sore kidneys afterwards and was urinating alot (drink tons of water and herbal tea) but am now doing this twice a week!! with fantastic results. This is cheap as edta suppositories are expensive. I was a bit concerned about the garlic in it but it was fine... :-))))))))))
Highly recommended.

I used these EDTA/Garlic capsules with Nattobiotic Raw Nattokinase - one capsule of each after meals - and within a couple of days began to feel healthier than I have in years. In fact, I didn't even realize I wasn't in good form until these pills began to rebuild my vitality. Take with a good calcium/magnesium supplement as recommended. Of all the various anti-aging herbs and products I've tried these are the only ones that actually made a significant difference right away.

GEOTECH is a dynamic company with a clear focus on the development, production and distribution of pearlescent pigments, aluminium pigments and glitter flakes. Quality control, product development, colour trend forecasting, formulating support and technical training create high added value for customers and partners.
GEOTECH special effect pigments are being used globally in the cosmetic, plastic and coating industry since more than 25 years to differentiate consumer products.
Haarlem, The Netherlands, October 2014
The GEOTECH facilities in Holland have been awarded by SGS the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification for the production of special effect pigments. This ISO 22716 standard provides guidance and tools for GEOTECH, who wants to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer's requirements and that quality is consistently improved.
To comply to the strict regulations of the GMP standard GEOTECH completely renovated their production facility and warehouses in Holland. Their special effect pigments are handled now under the same conditions as common in the pharmaceutical industry.
GEOTECH started selling aluminium glitter flakes to the plastic industry in the early 80's. Cutted particles of aluminium foil turned out to be a solution to obtain glittering effects in plastic products such as water heaters, coffee machines, waste baskets etc.
Around 1985 GEOTECH was the first company in the cosmetic industry introducing polyester based glitter as a special effect. During those days mica based pigments were used to obtain a sparkling effect. At that time the most course mica particles available were 20 – 150 micron. By using polyester glitter it became possible to create high sparkling effects with particle sizes over 200 micron. A new market was born.
GEOTECH introduced the cosmetic colour and effect guidelines of 2015 in March this year. The colour forecast shows that one of the guidelines is already upcoming at the end of 2014. The warm golden tones of the 'Majestic Bling Bling' guideline shows that in the winter 2014 / 2015 there will be less room for 'cool silver' looks.
At In-cosmetics 2014 GEOTECH is introducing a new concept, based on the anticipated fashion and colour trends for 2015. The colour and effect guidelines for 2015 are divided into three themes: 'Powdered Flowers', 'Aurora Borealis' and 'Majestic Bling Bling'. GEOTECH is presenting a variety of set cards for each guideline, accompanied by finished products and the raw materials used. The entire presentation comes in a trend box which will be available at the Geotech stand, 3A30.

Best and Worst Hip-Hop Moments of 2013
The BoomBox highlights the Best and Worst Hip-Hop Moments of 2013.
The BoomBox highlights the Best and Worst Hip-Hop Moments of 2013.
With hundreds of R&B radio-ready tunes that surfaced throughout the year, there was a select few that found their way to the top of the charts -- survival of the fittest doesn't just exist with people.
In 2012, rappers made great attempts to avoid making the stereotypical booty videos and create astounding visuals that offer more than just a cursory glance. Some offered a compelling story line like J. Cole's 'Crooked Smile' and Kendrick Lamar's 'Poetic Justice.' Others opted for movie inspired treatments like Iggy Azalea's 'Change Your Life' clip.
2013 is coming to an end. We've seen some of the best artist/rapper/musician/brand collaborations in the past year, 10 of which blew us away completely.
From serving as the face of Forever 21's 2013 summer collection to her 'I Know What You Want' video, there's no denying Cassie's sex appeal. And even though the little lady with the shaved head is Diddy's significant other, this doesn't mean she's shy about showing off her assets.
R&B didn't disappoint this year. Justin Timberlake returned from a seven-year hiatus to deliver a satisfying mix of soulful tunes and dance floor-ready songs, Ciara put out her best record to date and Janelle Monae electrified listeners with her daz
Though we're still Red October-less, 2013 has been a pretty eventful year in the sneaker world. From the Ronnie Fieg X Asics, released in June, to the Reebok Kamikaze II — also released this past summer — there's been a bevy of different styles, looks and choices that appeal to the hardcore sneaker lover and the person who's just getting into the sneaker game.
If there's one thing to agree on it's this: these artists' songs were given life with riveting visuals. Check out 10 Best R&B Videos of 2013.
When Drake debuted the cover of his third album, 'Nothing Was the Same,' the internet went wild. Here was a painting of the rapper's floating head against a cloudy backdrop, his face showcasing a lifeless stare (maybe he was looking at the Toronto Raptors franchise thinking, "WTF did I just get into?").

Steve Smith to the Ravens
Just one day after being released by the Panthers, wide receiver Steve Smith has found a new team.
The Ravens have signed the 34-year-old Smith to a three-year, $11 million contract, thus giving Joe Flacco another reliable receiving target. Smith joins Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith on the Ravens' offense.

Steve Smith released by Carolina Panthers
The ongoing saga between long-time receiver Steve Smith and the Carolina Panthers is over. Smith was released Thursday.
"Steve has been one of the NFL's finest receivers for over a decade and has been the face of the franchise for a large part of the team's history," Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman Gettleman said in a press release. "As a team, we made a step forward last year; however...Read more »

Wide receiver Steve Smith, for years the face of the Carolina Panthers, will not be returning to the team for the 2014 season. So says his agent, Derrick Fox, who told the Associated Press today that Smith is done in Carolina.

Greg Hardy calls himself 'Kraken,' says he went to Hogwarts
Maybe it'd make more sense for Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy to play quidditch instead of football.
During Sunday Night Football introductions, Hardy called himself the Kraken and listed his school as Hogwarts, the famed school of witchcraft and wizardry from the Harry Potter series.

Thanksgiving Visit to Chicago - 3 reviews
Five of us - me, MrsMe, BigDaughter, SmallDaughter, and Nanny - drove from Toronto to Chicago to enjoy the weekend. We were blessed with perfect weather and had a good experience overall. Based on what I've read on this board and where we were staying, we tried Gino's East, Lawry's, and the Rosebud. Here's what happened:
First, we stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn on Walton, a few steps east of the Drake. I highly recommend it; our two-bedroom suite was quite comfortable, with a full kitchen (including pots/pans, etc.), not just a mini-fridge and microwave. The complimentary breakfast buffet includes make-them-yourself waffles with fresh fruit, cereals, a wide variety of breads and bagels, eggs, and a different breakfast meat (bacon/sausage/ham) each day. Given our plans to see the parade on Thursday, and the inevitable shopping on Friday, this was quick, convenient, and while not a gourmet experience, certainly more satisfying than many $20 continental breakfasts I've had at Hyatt/Marriott/Four Seasons in the past, and for the price ($0), a very good value. They also offer, Monday to Thursday, a "social hour" in the lobby, which, for example, on Thursday, included turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry, etc. A nice little nosh if you have late dinner reservations.
As we drove in, I saw Gino's East on Rush, and since it was just a few blocks from the hotel and a place consistently mentioned on this board, we thought we would try it out. Unfortunately, when we walked over that evening (leaving SmallD at the hotel, as she was feeling queasy after the long drive), we found this location was closed. Note to the owners: if you are "closed for renovations" as your sign said, why don't you put up a note with directions or even an address for your other location? We asked five or six locals in the area where the other location was; no one knew. We finally hailed a cab, and even he had to look up the address for the Ontario/Wells spot.
We arrived, and were seated promptly. A quick perusal of the menu resulted in MrsMe and Nanny splitting a thin crust pie (declaring they were not fans of deep dish based on previous Toronto experience), a small deep dish for BigD, and a meatball sandwich for me. The order was placed, and our waiter wanted to make certain that we wanted all items to arrive together. "Sure", we replied.
We didn't see him again for 15 minutes. At that point, he told us things were a bit backed up in the kitchen. In the event, we didn't receive our meals until almost 35 minutes after ordering - for pizza?? Now, having worked as a waiter for almost five years putting myself through university, I would have thought he would have told us right at the start there would be a delay, and/or recommended we order a starter to keep us occupied. But no...
When the entrees arrived, BigD enjoyed her deep dish, and MrsMe and Nanny found the thin crust very good. I was not so overjoyed with my meatball sub. First, the tomato sauce was just a touch acrid, which provided a constant sour note. The meatballs and cheese were fine, but the whole thing was out of proportion. When I order a meatball sub in Toronto (or NYC), I get a 10-12" bun with lots of small meatballs - a size I can pick up and handle. Gino's was on a smaller bun - 8" maybe? - with huge meatballs. I had to eat this with knife and fork, which is not what I was expecting. I also had half a slice of BigD's pie, which I found very tasty (ham, bacon, and pineapple), with very big pieces of all the toppings.
Overall: service: 9 for friendly (no attitude at all), 3 for helpfulness (no info up front about the delay, although he did update us twice about it afterwards); 7 for food (both pies were good but the sandwich not so much). Interesting decor! But truth be told, when we go back to Chicago (please note: not "if"!) we will try some of the other places suggested here before returning.
Thursday, very early breakfast at the hotel, and off to the parade. We brought folding chairs, and found a vacant spot south of Randolph. Settled in, and read papers/did puzzles/etc. until the parade arrived. MrsMe's comment: "People in Chicago are much nicer and friendlier than people in NYC". I concur. Parade was fun, and we returned to hotel, where we used the kitchen to heat up leftovers from Gino's (saving salsa from the breakfast buffet helped overcome some of the acrid sauce). Some walking around sightseeing in the afternoon (and to those who have never been to the Chi, the architecture alone is spectacular), and then back to base for our visit to Lawry's.
Now I know many regulars here will laugh at Lawry's, but I visited over 20 years ago, and I remember enjoying the atmosphere, the style, and the food. Plus, SmallD is picky - she doesn't like steak, burgers, hot dogs, veal chops (I think she's mine..) - and when I phoned, Lawry's told me they had a turkey dinner option on Thanksgiving. So there we went..
Our reservation was for 5:30; we were seated a little after 6:00. I understand why this happens, having worked in the business. Trying to explain the reality of restaurant scheduling, customer behaviour, and traffic theory is an exercise guaranteed to drive Daddy mad.
Again, having been in the business, I know how a ritual like the spinning salad can get (for the server) very old, very quickly. But,
jjust as actors are expected to deliver their lines freshly with
every performance, I wanted more from our server, especially when he
saw two young girls - clearly, they had never seen this before, and bbased on my previous experience, I expected him to play everything up. Instead, he was boring and bland. Regardless, we all enjoyed the salad.
In addition to the offered items, we ordered a baked potato, and some asparagus The trolley arrived, and we all enjoyed watching the cutting of our individual servings. However, it took repeated prompting to our waiter to deliver the baked potato and the asparagus. When you only have a few things to remember, why should it take so long?
Now, this is what made me personally angry: I'm diabetic. I need to keep food intake down. I ordered the smallest cut of roast beef, which I found very tasty, and after eating half (8 oz of 16 oz), I said I was done. I didn't expect our waiter's reply, which was on the lines of "My son and I both finished this cut yesterday; what's your problem?"
Everyone else had enjoyed their meal (as did I), so I didn't make a federal case about it. But I was angry. I don't think waiters should be intimating their customers are lesser men because they don't stuff themsevles beyond their hunger.
It's late; I'll finish this tomorrow.
The reason that there were no signs is that Gino's East/Geno's places have no relationship whatsoever.
Gino's East has two locations. One is on Superior about a block east of Michigan. The second is on Ontario at Wells.
Your experience at Lawry's was typical. It is no longer a destination for those of us who live here. For similar food, there are numerous places that do it far better, including Keefer's, Chop House, Capital Grille, and Gibsons.
Most Chicagoans know that deep-dish or stuffed pizza normally takes over half an hour to make. Maybe they thought you were a native. ;) (And no offense, but Chicago-style pizza didn't establish its reputation based on meatball sandwiches.)
I agree with Skeeter regarding Lawry's. There are many places where you can get better steaks and prime rib. (Carson's www.ribs.com is still excellent for both, as well as for barbecue ribs, and their River North location is still open.)
I agree, when we return to Chicago and order deep dish it's always a 35 to 40 min wait. Do like I do, enjoy that second pitcher of beer while your waiting. I'm not sure they would do this at Gino's but if I'm going to be in a hurry I will order ahead and have it ready or near ready when i arrive.
The wait for the deep dish is probably why they asked if you wanted everything at once. Most places mention the wait on the menu but the waiter should have been more specific.
I thank everyone for their replies. I wish I'd known that deep dish required the long wait; we would have ordered an appetizer to make it tolerable. I didn't see it mentioned on the menu, but truth be told, our table was so dark, I actually picked up the menu and walked to a brighter area to read the menu.
Our final dinner was at the Rosebud on Friday. I'd originally booked Gibson's, but MrsMe thought our 5:30 reservation was too early, so she made me find something closer to 9 pm (she expected to be shopping from 6 am; she actually started at midnight in Aurora). Gibson's was unable to accomodate the change, so we tried the Rosebud which was only steps from our hotel. We arrived at our reservation time of 8:45; we were seated at 9:00. For appetizers, we ordered oysters, bacon-wrapped scallops, a Ceasar for BigD, and a wedge salad. The bread basket was very good and we ended up requesting a second. The oysters were fine, BigD liked her Ceaser, and I enjoyed my scallops (second choice as lobster avocado was sold out). But the wedge salad was definitely something I hadn't seen before: a quarter head of iceberg, some sliced onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Since I was splitting this with SmallD, I asked our waiter for a second plate, and he very nicely sliced the lettuce into two smaller wedges, and divided everything into two plates.
I really was unsure about how to eat this; I eventually chose to cut off slices of tomato and cucumber, then slice off a chunk of lettuce, impale all of them, and dip into the dressing. Interesting experience, but not something I would order again.
Mains: SmallD, a picky eater, chose the pasta ribbons Bolognese, BigD had a small filet, MrsMe the double veal chop, Nanny the strip steak, and I had the skirt steak. Since almost everyone's order came with frites, I passed on the giant baked potato, and we ordered corn as the only side.
I ordered my steak "black and blue". It came rare, but with no char. Meanwhile, Nanny and MrsMe were both unhappy with what they felt was excessive char on their steaks. (Note: they didn't express until the next day, so I give no foul to Rosebud on this; how can they fix it if you don't complain?)
I found my steak very tasty, even though I could only finish half of it. (I enjoyed a very "luxe" version of steak and eggs the next morning, with my skirt and some of the veal chop to go along with the eggs from the hotel buffet.) SmallD enjoyed her pasta, although she only finished about a quarter. Once again, we had to remind the waiter we had ordered a side dish; it took a few extra minutes for the corn to arrive.
As a boy, at our cottage in Quebec, my mom would put a pot on to boil, and send my father and I to get corn. We would drive up the road for a few minutes, pull the ears off the stalks, and drive back. The shucked ears would go directly into the pot, and be eaten within minutes. Sweet, crunchy, and satifying. Now, I don't know how they do this in November (in Toronto, the fresh corn season ends in September), but this corn was really sweet, and obviously cut off the cob. It was a 99 if my childhood corn was a 100. We took the leftovers home and enjoyed them with breakfast the next day. (Also, SmallD's pasta was quite tasty as a side to breakfast sausage/eggs.)
I was surprised; I thought our overall experience at Rosebud was better than that at Lawry's but MrsMe, Nanny, and BigD all demurred.
Overall: we want to come back. We'd like to spend more time at places like the Art Institute, Field Museum (SmallD and I spent six enjoyable hours at the Shedd Aquarium this trip, where I found their cafeteria reasonable and tasty - pizza for SmallD, a salad with turkey, ham, and cheese for me and prices quite reasonable), Navy Pier, etc. We found Chicago to be like NYC without attitude. Next time, we want to explore more ethnic restaurants (Polish, Mexican, etc.) that we don't have in Toronto. Look for another report next summer!

Man pleads guilty to threatening former U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's life
Before a jury could be selected for his trial, a Baton Rouge man has pleaded guilty to a charge that he threatened to kill former U.S. Attorney Jim Letten and members of Letten's family.
Gerald P. Estrade, 56, entered the plea Monday before U.S. District Judge James J. Brady.
Estrade faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He served nearly 20 years behind bars for the 1988 manslaughter of his 10-year-old daughter, whose body was discovered in the woods in southern Mississippi.
Court records say Letten met Estrade in 1999 or 2001 while Letten walked his dog and they talked briefly. Estrade allegedly told the FBI that Letten caused him problems over a threatening letter Estrade wrote in 2005 or 2006.

Little Gestures She Wishes You'd Do
We asked our Facebook fans about the tiny things their spouses could do that would have a big impact. Leave this open on a screen where he just might accidentally stumble upon it.
By Lauren Le Vine
Surprise me with flowers
"I wish he would surprise me more to show me that he thinks about me. When I go to the store, I get him things like new socks if he needs them or even something like a Kit Kat just to make him smile. He never does that for me. I wish he would just think of me for once. I never get anything like flowers unless it's a holiday." — Sara G.

I know there are people out there who disagree with me but, in my mind, The Walking Dead got substantially better once Frank Darabont was removed as its showrunner. Don't get me wrong—I love the work of Frank Darabont. The Mist is a terrific horror movie, and The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite films of all time. But for some reason, his vision of what The Walking Dead should be just didn't gel with what I personally wanted from the show. And once Glenn Mazzara (and later Scott Gimple) got on board as showrunner, things improved substantially. The show still ain't perfect but, compared to most of Season 1 and Season 2, it looks like The Wire. But like I said, there's people out there who clearly disagree with me—and no surprise, Frank Darabont is one of those people…and isn't afraid to show it.
Currently on the press circuit for his rebound show Mob City (starring Walking Dead star Jon Bernthal), Darabont recently shared with Variety his thoughts on being canned from the show, and whether or not he still watches it. The answer is clearly the latter. According to him:
"Oh god no, why would I? If the woman you loved with all your heart left you for the Pilates instructor and just sent you an invitation to the wedding, would you go? There's a deep commitment and emotional investment that happens when you create something that is very near and dear to you, and when that is torn asunder by sociopaths who don't give a s**t about your feelings or the feelings of your cast and crew because they have their own reasons to screw everybody, that doesn't feel good."
Yeah, it's been a few years, but Darabont's still hot about this one.
In all seriousness, I get why Darabont would be pissed—getting fired from a job (especially one you really cared for) is always upsetting. But at the end of the day, I think the change in power benefited the show. And, yes, sorry Darabont—AMC doesn't care about your feelings. That doesn't make them sociopaths; it makes them businessmen. And considering the huge success of the show, good ones at that. And besides, unlike most people fired from their jobs, Darabont has little to complain about—he has a new gig, and a whole new show to get his hands into. Very few people can say the same thing.
Anyways, what says you on Darabont's firing? Did it end up benefiting the show like I thought, or are you one of those Darabont Defenders? Be sure to insult me in the comments. It's the best forum to do that, really.

There is a growing trend in California wine country that is resulting in lots of new small producers entering the market. Partially enabled by the advent and popularity of "custom crush" facilites, many wine growers that have heretofore just sold their grapes to larger Wineries are now starting to produce their own wines. Stuhlmuller is a perfect example. For years the Stuhlmuller family sold their grapes to the likes of Chateau Souverain, Clos du Val and even Fetzer. After years of swearing that grapes weren't his thing, the young son, Fritz Stuhlmuller, changed his mind and decided to start producing wines from the family's Alexander Valley estate.
Lucky for us. Starting from the very first 1996 vintage, Stuhlmuller wines have won acclaim from all the usual suspects, including a 90 point rating for the first Chardonnay vintage from the Wine Spectator. Located "just down the way" from Silver Oak's vineyards, the Stuhlmuller property is prime Cabernet growing real estate, and like that famous neighbor, produces some outstanding fruit.
Tasting Notes:
This wine is inky, dark blood red in color with lovely viscosity. The aromas are equally as dark, displaying a nose filled with black cherry, coffee, sweet oak, and cocoa. The body of the wine is heavily oak driven, a bit too much for my tastes, with predominantly cherry flavors surfacing through the tannins and a long finish that trails out with notes of boyzenberry along with the oak. Ultimately this is a classically done Cabernet, but a little too tannic to win top marks from me. Despite what I feel is fundamentally a lack of fine balance, I think this is a very good wine, and one that will improve with age as the tannins continue to mellow.
Food Pairing:
This wine demands rich dark meat like venison, and the tannic aspects of the wine could use a little counterbalance with something sweet. I'd suggest serving it with pan seared venison with rosemary and dried cherries.
Overall Score: 8/8.5
How Much?: $30
As a small 2000 production, there isn't a lot of this left around. I got mine from Porthos but they no longer have any in stock. I was able to find one Internet retailer who still carries it using Wine Searcher.
I'm curious, what/where are some of these "custom crush" facilities?
A custom crush facility is basically a location which has all the quipment necessary to take grapes and make them wine, and which leases this equipment and space in their facility to anyone who's willing to pay.
There are some custom crush facilities that operate soley as such, like the Napa Wine Co, which plays host to dozens of boutique, small producers like Pahlmeyer and others. Here is a Wine Specator article about it.
Then there are other facilities that are in fact wineries in their own right, but who lease out their facilities to other winemakers to use. (Very smart way of generating extra income from my point of view). These range from small facilities like Grapeleaf Cellars in Berkeley, to larger ones like Vinwood Cellars in Geyserville.
I by no means have my finger on the pulse of this movement, so I'm sure there are plenty of others out there that I don't know about.
Here's a more recent article about the virtual wineries that are sprouting up all over Napa and Sonoma.

Dylan was wrong; the times aren't changing, only repeating. Austin sextet the Black Angels descend from the thirteenth-floor elevators with an alarming "Call to Arms" that links the past to the present through an arsenal of neo-psychedelic sounds. The group's debut full-length, Passover, connects the current War on Terror to "The First Vietnamese War," both musically, with fuzzy, vintage guitar tones reminiscent of the Doors or Pink Floyd, and lyrically as front man Alex Maas wails, "60,000 men died why you all hid/You came into our home and you took our kid/And you ask for more now, for this new war/You ask for more now, Vietnam War." The call to action mounts during the nostalgic slow-burner "The Sniper at the Gates of Heaven" when the piercing cry, "Wake up," shatters the drugged-out, euphoric trance. The band, which takes its name from a Velvet Underground song, also carries on the tradition of the Butthole Surfers, incorporating found video footage and tripped-out lighting to enhance the atmosphere at their live performances. The time has come, as the band writes in their self-titled EP, to "turn on, tune in and drone out." Have mercy.

+ - Attack Of The One-Letter Programming Languages
Submitted by snydeq
snydeq (1272828) writes "The programming world is fast proliferating with one-letter programming languages, many of which tackle specific problems in ways worthy of a cult following, writes InfoWorld's Peter Wayner in this somewhat tongue-and-check roundup of the more interesting entrants among this trend. 'A long time ago — long before Netflix, Hulu, and HBO battled for the living room — people went to the movie theaters for their weekly dose of video streaming. There were usually only two movies, and you couldn't choose the order. (The horror!) The double feature began with the big stars — the Javas and JavaScripts of the acting world — but then it got interesting. The second feature, the so-called B movie, was where the new ideas, odder actors, and weirder scripts found their home. Some proved rich enough with exactly the right kind of out-there thinking to garner significant cult followings — even break through to the mainstream. The programming languages with one-letter names are one such corner of the Internet. They're all a bit out there, with the possible exception of C.
... Each offers compelling ideas that could do the trick in solving a particular problem you need fixed.'"

DBMS CONCEPTS1. DatabaseA database is a logically coherent collection of data with some inherent meaning, representing some aspect of real world and which is designed, built and populated with data for a specific purpose2. DBMSIt is a collection of programs that enables user to create and maintain a database. In other words it is general-purpose software that provides the users with the processes of defining, constructing and manipulating the database for various applications.3. Database systemThe database and DBMS software together is called as Database system.4. Advantages of DBMS?Redundancy is controlled.Unauthorized access is restricted.Ø providing multiple user interfaces.Ø Enforcing integrity constraints.Ø Providing backup and recovery.5. Disadvantage in File Processing SystemØ Data redundancy & inconsistency.Ø Difficult in accessing data.Ø Data isolation.Ø Data integrity.Ø Concurrent access is not possible.Ø Security Problems.6.The three levels of data abstractionØ Physical level: The lowest level of abstraction describes how data are stored.Ø Logical level: The next higher level of abstraction, describes what data are stored in database and what relationship among those data.Ø View level: The highest level of abstraction describes only part of entire database.11. Data IndependenceData independence means that the application is independent of the storage structure and access strategy of data. In other words, The ability to modify the schema definition in one level should not affect the schema definition in the next higher level.Two types of Data Independence:Ø Physical Data Independence: Modification in physical level should not affect the logical level.Ø Logical Data Independence: Modification in logical level should affect the view level.NOTE: Logical Data Independence is more difficult to achieve12. View & How is it related to data independence?A view may be thought of as a virtual table, that is, a table that does not really exist in its own right but is instead derived from one or more underlying base table. In other words, there is no stored file that direct represents the view instead a definition of view is stored in data dictionary.Growth and restructuring of base tables is not reflected in views. Thus the view can insulate users from the effects of restructuring and growth in the database. Hence accounts for logical data independence.13 Data ModelA collection of conceptual tools for describing data, data relationships data semantics and constraints.14. E-R modelThis data model is based on real world that consists of basic objects called entities and of relationship among these objects. Entities are described in a database by a set of attributes.15. Object Oriented modelThis model is based on collection of objects. An object contains values stored in instance variables with in the object. An object also contains bodies of code that operate on the object. These bodies of code are called methods. Objects that contain same types of values and the same methods are grouped together into classes.16 EntityIt is a 'thing' in the real world with an independent existence.17. Entity typeIt is a collection (set) of entities that have same attributes.18. Entity setIt is a collection of all entities of particular entity type in the database.19. Extension of entity typeThe collections of entities of a particular entity type are grouped together into an entity set.20.Weak Entity setAn entity set may not have sufficient attributes to form a primary key, and its primary key compromises of its partial key and primary key of its parent entity, then it is said to be Weak Entity set.21.AttributeIt is a particular property, which describes the entity.22 Relation Schema & RelationA relation Schema denoted by R(A1, A2,
, An) is made up of the relation name R and the list of attributes Ai that it contains. A relation is defined as a set of tuples. Let r be the relation which contains set tuples (t1, t2, t3, ..., tn). Each tuple is an ordered list of n-values t=(v1,v2, ..., vn).23. Degree of a RelationIt is the number of attribute of its relation schema.24. RelationshipIt is an association among two or more entities.25 Relationship setThe collection (or set) of similar relationships.26. Relationship typeRelationship type defines a set of associations or a relationship set among a given set of entity types.27. Degree of Relationship typeIt is the number of entity type participating.25. DDL (Data Definition Language)A data base schema is specifies by a set of definitions expressed by a special language called DDL.26. VDL (View Definition Language)It specifies user views and their mappings to the conceptual schema.29. DML (Data Manipulation Language)This language that enable user to access or manipulate data as organised by appropriate data model.Ø Procedural DML or Low level: DML requires a user to specify what data are needed and how to get those data.Ø Non-Procedural DML or High level: DML requires a user to specify what data are needed without specifying how to get those data30 Relational AlgebraIt is procedural query language. It consists of a set of operations that take one or two relations as input and produce a new relation.37. Relational CalculusIt is an applied predicate calculus specifically tailored for relational databases proposed by E.F. Codd.E.g. of languages based on it are DSL ALPHA, QUEL.38. Difference between Tuple-oriented relational calculus & domain-oriented relational calculusThe tuple-oriented calculus uses a tuple variables i.e., variable whose only permitted values are tuples of that relation. E.g. QUELThe domain-oriented calculus has domain variables i.e., variables that range over the underlying domains instead of over relation. E.g. ILL, DEDUCE.39. NormalizationIt is a process of analysing the given relation schemas based on their Functional Dependencies (FDs) and primary key to achieve the propertiesØ Minimizing redundancyØ Minimizing insertion, deletion and update anomalies.40. Functional DependencyA Functional dependency is denoted by X Y between two sets of attributes X and Y that are subsets of R specifies a constraint on the possible tuple that can form a relation state r of R. The constraint is for any two tuples t1 and t2 in r if t1[X] = t2[X] then they have t1[Y] = t2[Y]. This means the value of X component of a tuple uniquely determines the value of component Y.41. When is a functional dependency F said to be minimal?Ø Every dependency in F has a single attribute for its right hand side.Ø We cannot replace any dependency X A in F with a dependency Y A where Y is a proper subset of X and still have a set of dependency that is equivalent to F.Ø We cannot remove any dependency from F and still have set of dependency that is equivalent to F.42. Multivalued dependencyMultivalued dependency denoted by X Y specified on relation schema R, where X and Y are both subsets of R, specifies the following constraint on any relation r of R: if two tuples t1 and t2 exist in r such that t1[X] = t2[X] then t3 and t4 should also exist in r with the following propertiesØ t3 = t4[X] = t1[X] = t2[X]Ø t3[Y] = t1[Y] and t4[Y] = t2[Y]Ø t3[Z] = t2[Z] and t4[Z] = t1[Z]where [Z = (R-(X U Y)) ]42 Lossless join propertyIt guarantees that the spurious tuple generation does not occur with respect to relation schemas after decomposition.44. 1 NF (Normal Form)The domain of attribute must include only atomic (simple, indivisible) values.45. Fully Functional dependencyIt is based on concept of full functional dependency. A functional dependency X Y is full functional dependency if removal of any attribute A from X means that the dependency does not hold any more.46. 2NFA relation schema R is in 2NF if it is in 1NF and every non-prime attribute A in R is fully functionally dependent on primary key.47. 3NFA relation schema R is in 3NF if it is in 2NF and for every FD X A either of the following is trueØ X is a Super-key of R.Ø A is a prime attribute of R.In other words, if every non prime attribute is non-transitively dependent on primary key.48. BCNF (Boyce-Codd Normal Form)A relation schema R is in BCNF if it is in 3NF and satisfies an additional constraint that for every FD X A, X must be a candidate key.49. 4NFA relation schema R is said to be in 4NF if for every Multivalued dependency X Y that holds over R, one of following is trueØ X is subset or equal to (or) XY = R.Ø X is a super key.50. 5NFA Relation schema R is said to be 5NF if for every join dependency {R1, R2, ..., Rn} that holds R, one the following is trueØ Ri = R for some i.Ø The join dependency is implied by the set of FD, over R in which the left side is key of R.51. Atomicity and AggregationAtomicity:Either all actions are carried out or none are. Users should not have to worry about the effect of incomplete transactions. DBMS ensures this by undoing the actions of incomplete transactions.Aggregation:A concept which is used to model a relationship between a collection of entities and relationships. It is used when we need to express a relationship among relationships.

NASA Report May Overstate the Economic Benefits of Research and Development Spending
PAD-78-18: Published: Oct 18, 1977. Publicly Released: Oct 18, 1977.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contracted with Chase Econometrics Associates, Inc., to evaluate how research and development (R&D) spending affects the U.S. economy.
The Chase report "The Economic Impact of NASA R&D Spending" concluded that this spending produced many benefits between 1960 and 1974, although it did not try to evaluate how effectively NASA carried out its primary objectives, such as space exploration and satellite communication. Although the study is useful as exploratory research, other types of studies are necessary to provide a complete evaluation of NASA research and development. The most significant conclusion of the Chase study was that ". . . a $1 billion sustained increase in NASA R&D spending will raise real GNP $23 billion by 1984 . . . ." Of this estimated increase, $21 billion would result from improved technology and productivity and the rest would result from increased Government spending which would stimulate spending in different parts of the economy. The Chase study did not prove convincingly that the benefits of R&D spending are as large as stated.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed
Comments: Please call 202/512-6100 for additional information.
Matter: The Administrator of NASA should ensure that future evaluation studies look at specific innovations, their effect on specific industries, and the process by which NASA expenditures for research and development improve productivity in the economy. Such studies would give Congress a more accurate picture of what taxpayers are getting for their money. The Congress should subject technical studies submitted in support of agency budgets and as evidence for or against proposed legislation to independent examination and appraisal.
