Wikileaks regains relevance with Stratfor doc-drop
Re: TOO much too late.
Nope. Pearl Harbour made a difference. A tenner says that even with Prima Facie evidence of money laundering or insider trading, Stratfor won't even be investigated by the guvmint, let alone charged.
Node.js Native breakthrough: cloudy C++ on steroids
Re: Re: Re: C vs java
Much obliged JDX, you saved me the effort. The code is taken from the linked-to article, and it's supposed to be bad. The point is to compare the same bad code in different languages.
To follow myself up
I thought it best to quantify the outrage of 5 seconds to calculate this, and I confess I've surprised myself.
Same code in Java: 854ms (average of 100 runs after the 1st)
Same code in C: 3751ms (average of 100 runs)
Same code in Perl: I got bored, but the first round took about 163000s
So Node.js with it's slightly daft event model, at 5600ms - call it 5500ms to generously allow for network stack overhead - is only 22% slower than the same impementation in C, which is a whopping 430% slower than Java.
So although I vaguely dislike Node.js I'm reluctantly going to qualify my previous post as follows: "shit code can be written in any language; and never underestimate the power of an optimizing JIT compiler".
JS in itself isn't a bad language - I was writing JS OO libraries as far back as 1999 - but it stops bad coders from shooting themselves in the foot, and that's not necessarily good thing.
Mebbe you're right and mebbe you're wrong.
But 5 seconds to calculate Fibonacci sequence to 40? My dad had a pocket calculator that could beat that, and that was in 1983.
Sure it's is a contrived example, but other than the recursion the code looks OK on the surface and I've interviewed devs who've written worse. Abstraction is good - actually great - to a point, but like any model you've got to know when to apply it, and that comes from experience and understanding how it works under the hood.
GPS jamming rife, could PARALYSE Blighty, say usual suspects
Worse than just teh boats!!!
According to this morning's Metro front page, the entire financial system could be brought to a grinding halt! Our learned friends reported that some banks rely on GPS timing signals for trading. For calibrating NTP perhaps, but it's perhaps "a bit of a stretch" from interrupting that calibration to pwning the market.
http://www.metro.co.uk/news/world/891008-gps-jammers-could-make-criminals-millions-on-the-stock-market. Try not to snort out your coffee in derision like I did. The Metro is overpriced.
'Predictably random' public keys can be cracked - crypto boffins
Re: "Only one of the factorable SSL keys was signed by a trusted certificate authority"
Not really. If true it's quite interesting - routers etc. generate a self-signed keypair for their admin pages, so if there's a weakness there then you're in. From there you can still do fun stuff like DNS poisoning, although SSL sessions passing through the router would likely be OK.
I'd be very surprised to see this affect "proper" servers other than embedded devices - surely most, if not all OSs include a decent RNG of some sort by now.
Trustwave to escape 'death penalty' for SSL skeleton key
I hope not!
I sincerely hope an organization that needs this kind of auditing isn't running a wi-fi hotspot! Or allowing any unauthorized devices on their network at all... kind of defeats the purpose if it is.

Point about two channels still stands
All the bank needs to do is send you a text saying "You've asked to send £10k to Russian Brides Inc, a/c number 1234-12312312. To confirm enter the code 23123 in browser".
The point about using two distinct channels is that they can't (yes, yes, insert caveat here) both be compromised, so you use one to verify the other. Two channels is distinct from two factor in this case, and I think it's an important distinction.
Apple lures Dixons boss Browett to run global retail biz
Steady on
There's a few paragraphs detailing why Browett was even considered given the unmitigated shittank that is Dixons retail. I imagine if he'd come from Tesco it would have warranted a sentence.
And to be fair to Browett, cleaning up Dixons is like cleaning the Augean stables. He inherited a disaster, not created one.

And right there you make the same mistake Canonical made. There are additional devices coming online with touchscreen interfaces, but the vast majority - and I mean orders of magnitude more - are still keyboard and mouse.
Canonical forgot the golden rules:
1. Thou shalt not change things in an incompatible way unless you have a very good reason.
2. Thou shalt optimize for the most common case, while ensuring that other cases are possible.
3. Thou shalt avoid change for change sake.
Not that I care of course - I access our boxen via the shell, the interface that just keeps on giving.
Groupon offer burns cupcake baker's profits
Ignoring Limits?
From reading above comments, the common thread seems to be that Groupon's customer specifies a limit on the number of vourchers, and Groupon overshoots it.
Surely that's breach of contract? I know if Groupon had cocked up and cost me £12,500 I'd be in court faster than you can say "shabby business model".

Neutrinos still FASTER THAN LIGHT in second test
Some of the commenters here seem to think CERN are timing these experiments with wind-up alarm clocks and measuring the distance with string...
60ns at light speed is about 17m from memory. Your hand-held GPS is already an order of magnitude more accurate than that.
Oh and as no one else has said it so far, I will. They're firing these neutrinos through solid rock, which is why they're not measuring light. Because rock will stop light. As well as beating scissors.

Eurozone crisis: We're all dooomed! Here's why
Yeah but understand the context
Look at the history man. Europe had 30 years of warfare over 2 rounds, it was fucked financially and emotionally and by 1945 the scars were so deep they were apparently never going to heal. Now that's unthinkable, thanks to largely US insistance that French stel and German coal form the ECSC.
It's all well and good sitting here with 70 years hindsight on an island that emerged relatively unscathed, but the EU had a purpose and it has served it well. Perfect, no, but run a thought experiment to see where we'd be if it hadn't formed. Your icon sums it up nicely.
Why your tech CV sucks
Lot of hate here
Dominic, I don't know if you're still reading after 190 comments, but just wanted to say - spot on. Really. On every point.
And that's coming from a techie who contracted for 10 years (and ran a review site where you could slate your recruitment agent, pissing no small number off until I was done in by the libel laws) and is now the one doing the hiring.
Your CV is the way in, so you polish that fucker until it sparkles, then do it again. IT requires attention to detail - demonstrate some.
Bill Gates drops $1m on laser-based malaria fighter
Solving a different problem to nets
For all the smart ass comments about how many nets £1m would buy - yes, you're very clever. But how do you walk through a net?
The point of this is it's a different solution - you could use lasers (actually I think the latest work is with IR light rather than lasers, but whatever) on your windows and doors - this is more effective than a net here because it doesn't blow in the wind and you can walk through it without letting the little buggers in, which they're very good at.
Some really odd comments on here about it being a problem of corruption or a somehow good thing (that McBeese, clearly a bit of a c**t). I've had three bouts of malaria. It's spectacularly not nice, and Mr Gates Windows-based transgressions are long forgiven by me for his dedication to this.

Renault Wind Gordini roadster
Rented one of these a couple of weeks ago
Looks pretty, but the appeal wore off after a few days driving.
The main problem was the instruments are set so deep into the dash that you can't actually see them in sunlight - seriously, each dial is at the end of a tube about 6 inches deep, and they're not lit unless the lights are on. Not sure what Renault were thinking there. Pretty underpowered too, although the roof was nicely done.

Google plan to kill Javascript with Dart, fight off Apple
Sweet Jesus, another one?
First, if you let web-designers loose with a programming language you're going to get dogshit. That's a given in any language, as anyone whose done contract Perl work will attest to. JavaScript is a very capable language and you can design complex object hierarchies with it if you know what you're doing, complete with encapsulation, inheritance and the lot.
Second, JavaScript is actually ECMAScript, a widely implemented (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Opera & others) international standard. DART is a proprietary solution pushed by one vendor. Really, does this remind you of anyone? ANYONE?
WTF is up with Google lately - Dart, WebP and (to a lesser extent) SPDY are all Chocolate Factory inventions to "improve" the web, but they're all single-vendor solutions designed to usurp existing multi-vendor ones. If successful they'll drag the web back to the bad old days.
(Incidentally the fact they're open source doesn't matter a damn. I could open source my own image format tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I should expect Mozilla and MS to implement it).
The more powerful a company becomes, the more it ignores the very standards that helped it grow. Same as it ever was.

Thank you Captain Bleedin' Obvious
An SSL certificate certifies that a given domain name maps to an IP address - this is the whole reason we have CA's and a trust model, because the point of the certificate is to certify the information returned to your by your DNS server.
So forging the certificate verifying this information *without* altering the DNS to return this information in the first place would be pointless - a poisoned DNS is required for this to work. Whether it comes as a result of a hack or the Iranian government dictating the change isn't really important.
I really hope this conclusion didn't take a full week to dawn on Rik Ferguson.

Why modern music sounds rubbish
Software can alleviate this
While you can't compensate for bad production, you can at least set all your tracks to the same range so going from a track made in the 80s (normalized to 87db) and a recent one (normalized to 100db) doesn't blow your eardrums.

Elvis Presley, the 'Prince From Another Planet'
BY Dave Hoekstra email@example.com November 21, 2012 6:18PM
Elvis Presley shown here in 1972 at one of his rare news conferences. He said his gyrating performances of years ago, which shocked parents and got him censored below the waist on television, were "tame compared to what they're doing now." Presley added, "All I did was jiggle." | Bettmann/Corbis AP Images
Updated: December 24, 2012 6:27AM
The world never got to see Elvis Presley as a truly mature artist.
He did not become a wandering blues man like the modern day Bob Dylan or an enchantingly sweet memory like Neil Diamond.
On the weekend of June 9-11, 1972, Elvis performed four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. They would be Elvis' first and last New York concerts.
He died five summers after his Madison Square Garden residency.
A galaxy of stars came to pay homage to the King. George Harrison was backstage, David Bowie flew in from England and attended the concert in Ziggy Stardust attire, and a guy named Bruce Springsteen took a road trip from New Jersey.
The shows are passionately documented in "Elvis: Prince From Another Planet: 40th Anniversary Edition," just released on RCA/Legacy. It seems that every Christmas, the Elvis Presley vaults are opened up for reissues, but this three-disc set (featuring two CDs and one DVD) is worth examining, especially at an affordable $26.49 list price. The DVD features never-before-seen concert footage captured by a fan's camera. One Elvis expert has called it "The King's Zapruder film."
In these concerts, you can witness Elvis trying to expand and grow; "Hound Dog" begins with its original seed as a blues ballad before Stax-like wah-wah guitars (think "Shaft") kick in. Elvis and his band also offer contemporary fare like "Proud Mary" and Hoyt Axton's "Never Been to Spain," a 1971 hit for Three Dog Night.
Elvis was at a weird place in his career.
His last major hit was "The Wonder of You," which went to No. 1 on the adult contemporary charts in May 1970. He enjoyed three top 10 hits in 1969: "In the Ghetto," "Don't Cry Daddy" and "Suspicious Minds," but included only "Suspicious Minds" for the stunning karate-tinged conclusion of these concerts.
And New York circa 1972 was a weird place for Elvis Presley.
Patti Smith guitarist Lenny Kaye was in the house, covering the concert for a New York skin magazine called Cavalier. Kaye, who also contributed a 5,000-word essay to the box set, also was writing for Rolling Stone and Hit Parader back then. "I wrote for anybody, though my specialty was the avant-wing of rock," Kaye wrote last week in an email interview from Europe, where he was on tour with Smith. "Including feature articles on Alice Cooper, the Stooges, the Flamin' Groovies and the Velvet Underground. In a way, Elvis seemed as outre as all of them combined.
"I didn't see any of the special guests enter, though I must admit that their light would've paled in the face of Elvis' luminosity. At the time, the New York rock scene was barely under way, in a transition period from the folk era and the Velvets. There were pretty much no places for local bands to play, even the New York Dolls, who were still holding forth at the Mercer Arts Center. There was a tiny scene, composed of glam rockers and their sequined followers. This was an underground several steps removed from the rarified atmosphere of 'Uptown,' and though these fledgling rockers took at least the very early Elvis as a psychic influence, his grandeur and staging meant that he would have felt farther removed than might have been expected. Surely the Faces' sense of shambolic fun would've been more up their alley!!!!"
"Prince From Another Planet" — the title comes from a New York Times headline — also features a video document of the press conference that Col. Tom Parker held for Elvis at the New York Hilton on the Friday afternoon before the shows. The Colonel gave out souvenir pens to the press. The media made probing observations like "Elvis, you seem to have less grease in your hair these days."
As a working member of the media, Kaye was at the press conference. "If you can imagine a carnival barker in charge of a press conference, that would be Col. Tom working the room," Kaye wrote. "There was an air of excitement and expectation, and there was none of the managed choreography of a question-and-answer period today. Elvis was close enough to touch and seemed to enjoy the give and take."
Elvis and his band peformed Friday night, a Saturday matinee, a Saturday night show and a Sunday matinee, which was added after the first three shows sold out.
The set lists were pretty much the same for the shows, except Elvis went folkie on Saturday afternoon, covering Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Until It's Time for You to Go" and Don Ho's "I'll Remember You."
Elvis' longtime pallie and "Memphis Mafia" member Jerry Schilling was backstage with the King before the MSG shows. Elvis put together the set lists, while gaining input from band members during rehearsal. "Elvis didn't like matinee shows," said Schilling, 70 said from Hollywood Hills, Calif., in his home that Elvis bought him in 1974. "Because that's the time of day we got up. The Memphis Mafia was very nocturnal. When he did a bluesy version of [Lowell Fulsom's] 'Reconsider Baby' on the matinee, I knew he was into the show."
Elvis was low-key about the Big Apple. "When something was important to Elvis, he would get a little quiet," Schilling said. "One thing I remember very distinctly is right before we went on stage, somebody said George Harrison wants to say hello. George is by himself in a jean top and a pair of jeans. Elvis was real glad to see him. John Lennon was probably there, although we didn't know it."
Schilling believes the MSG concerts were more important than the career breakthrough performances in 1956 that Elvis did on the Milton Berle and Dorsey Brothers TV shows, which were taped in New York: "When he recorded in New York, I don't think they understood in the beginning who he was as an artist. He was comfortable with Sam Phillips at Sun. They spoke the same language. He hadn't been in New York all these years, so I think he had something to prove. "
The King's debut studio disc, "Elvis Presley" (1956), also was recorded in New York City, at RCA Studios. "When you look at this rare footage, you see he has developed from the 1950s but he still has some rebelness in him," Schilling said.
"He was facing a tough audience. They loved him, but they booed the comedian [Jackie Kahane, who would give the eulogy at Elvis' funeral]. I was a little nervous because I was managing the Sweet Inspirations at the time. They backed him, and they opened the show."
According to Schilling, the Super 8mm color footage came from fan Don Lance, who worked at the gift shop of the International Hotel in Las Vegas and collected Elvis films and memorabalia. "Rare, rare footage," Schilling said. "I've produced Elvis documentaries, and to get footage from this time is almost impossible. I've seen bootleg footage on Elvis, and it takes away from the show. But here his hand was so steady. [Lance told the Wall Street Journal he strapped a tripod to his leg.] And all this with Elvis not knowing he was being shot."

Quoting ... [snip!] ... I eat sushi WAY too much! Thanks!"
 You do. Your vagina probably smells."
then she's doing it wrong
Quoting Mayhem.:"
Quoting Legendary Yermom:" Holy dramatic :shock: Chick should be ... [snip!] ... She finally realized I wasn't deliberately being an asshole and all of a sudden she's "bitchy" out of depression? Whatever."
Maybe she shouldn't trap her SO with a 4th baby, eh?
ugh. that chick annoys me.
I am really starting to think I'm pregnant. :/
They're both 3d...4d is the 3d in real time motion. Idk why that bothers me but it always does.
I want an entire box of Samoas, stick them in the fridge, wait until they are nice and cold, and then proceed to eat the entire box.
You named your baby Dill?
That was, uh, brave...
eta: my god, I hope that's short for Dillon
I fucking love total blackout.
Please shave your armpits. Especially when taking pictures and posting them on the internet.
Quoting Stfu Shirley:" Um...Dill? You named your baby Dill? That was, uh, brave... eta: my god, I hope that's short for Dillon"
Are you watching Rugrats? Lol
You got some nerve, chick.
You wanna do whatever you want with your kid without giving your husband the respect of a fucking discussion? Well go for it, but don't come here crying when your husband doesn't wanna help with your kids because you cut him out. It's your baby after all right?
Quoting Thisperyears:" Are you watching Rugrats? Lol"
No, is there a Dill on Rugrats?
Friend of a friend on fb
Quoting Stfu Shirley:" No, is there a Dill on Rugrats? Friend of a friend on fb"
Dylan Pickles. Dill for short. :lol:
Quoting Piecey.:" Dylan Pickles. Dill for short. :lol:"
Dylan's fine. I knew a guy who named his kid Dillon, which was a little bit :roll: but no big deal.
But these comments are referring to just "Dill."
At least the last name isn't Doe.
If I had the energy I'd go through your old posts, I bet there's a lot of "BD doesn't help" and I can't say I'd blame him.

Atlas Ballpoint Pen Kit - Black Titanium
I'd become interested in the long blank, single-tube pens. The wall street series just didn't do it for me, so I grabbed the atlas. I really love the atlas, every other finish of this pen is easy to turn, assemble, and just otherwise make a great looking pen. However, the black titanium finish seems to grind when working the mechanism, almost like there is debris in the machine. If you pull up on the cap to disengage it from the shoulder on the clip holder everything is fine.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

- December 1st, 2010
What the future may hold for the Sedona boys basketball team is unknown.
The team lost six seniors, three of whom were starters, and expects to see new faces at the varsity level.
"I expect our boys to play hard this season. We lost six seniors to graduation last year and five of the six players coming back from last year have limited experience at the varsity level. It should be an interesting year," first-year Head Coach Brian Bergner Jr. said.
Bergner, also a new addition to the varsity squad, takes over for former Head Coach Bob Murphy, and he has big plans for his new team.
"We're going to change the way we play," Bergner said. "The last three or four years we've been a walk-it-up [the court] type of team, but now, we're going to get up and down, play pressure defense and shoot the ball when we're open. It's going to be an exciting brand of basketball."
Bergner himself played for the Scorpions while he attended Sedona Red Rock High School. He graduated in 2001 and continued his basketball career for one year at Concordia University Wisconsin. While at Concordia he also worked as the student assistant basketball coach for the women's program.

‡ Senior Night
Prior to talking over as head coach, Bergner served as junior varsity coach for the Scorpions for six years. He also led the school's girls softball program as head coach in 2008.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to be the head coach of the Sedona boys basketball program. I hope to continue the tradition of good basketball here at Sedona that began years ago," Bergner said.
The boys ended their
2009-10 season with an 18-11 record and ranked No. 8 in Arizona Interscholastic Association power point standings. The team finished second in the 3A West region losing to Estrella Foothills in the championship game, 113-51.
The Scorpions lost in the first round of the state playoffs to No. 9 Holbrook High School, 69-91.
Three seniors and three juniors return to the floor this year for Bergner, including seniors Blake Baker, Troy Loparco and Martin Galvez, and juniors Bradley Cox, Chris Oestmann and J.R. Henry.
"Our players selected Martin Galvez as our team captain, which I believe was a good choice," Bergner said. "Martin is a good player and a leader on and off the floor.
"I look for good things out of our other two seniors, Blake Barker and Troy Loparco. They both have a solid game and provide different things to this team that will make us successful."
Newcomers to Bergner's varsity squad include senior Taylor Webber, juniors Ashor Samano, Arley Leyva and Gabe Greenfield, and sophomores Graham McGilvray and Steven Sundberg.
The boys tip off the 2010-2011 season Thursday, Dec. 2, at the Winslow Invitational Tournament. Sedona plays Greyhills Academy High School in its first game.
Tip off is scheduled for 8 p.m. at Winslow High School.

October 10, 2006
The 2006 General Assembly begins tomorrow and in the following 60 days legislators from this area will have many issues to tackle.
The General Assembly will review more than 3000 bills in the coming months.
The big issues facing the 40 senators and 100 delegates are transportation and the budget.
Both go hand in hand since legislators will have to find ways to fund any transportation proposals they pass.
"I'm hoping that we'll have a package completed by the end of the session that will bring some more funding to maintain the roads that we presently have," said 57th District (D) Delegate David Toscano.
Law makers are already anticipating the need for a special session.
"Sixty days to [pass those bills] plus the thousands of other bills that are going to come up is not really very much time," said Sean O'Brien of the Sorenson Institute.
Local legislators will also push their own proposals.
"I plan to patron a bill that says you have a 25 year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone who commits a sex crime against a child," said 59th District (R) Delegate Rob Bell.
"I [have a bill] on nursing, to increase the number of nurses in the Commonwealth of Virginia. [I have a bill] that will help Charlottesville create more affordable housing," said Toscano.
It's inevitable that some bills may spur controversy.
"There's a bill [that has] been introduced to restrict access to the use of technology for artificial insemination for unmarried women," said O'Brien. "There's going to be other bills related to abortion, and things that are going to cause a lot of excitement."
It now remains to be seen how law makers will get past their bi-partisanship and work together to pass new legislation.
It will be delegate David Toscano's first time serving in the General Assembly. It will be delegate Rob Bell's 4th.

50 Cent Arrested
50 was scheduled to perform at a pre-New Years Eve bash at the Copacobana in Manhattan. As a condition for his appearance, 50 requested a bullet proof car for his transportation. The events promoter, Jay Mangan, said that he arranged for the vehicle and a driver from a private company at the cost of $1700.
When 50 appeared at the club, Mangan said that police in an unmarked taxi approached the vehicle and prevented 50 and his entourage from exited the Jeep Cherokee. One of the officers noticed a (loaded).25 caliber handgun on the floor (front passenger side). After a search of the vehicle, a loaded .45 was found as well. According to a police spokesperson, the vehicle was pulled over on a double parking violation.

Samsung Knox is a security app for Samsung phones that supports both personal and business use of the same phone.
Pricing not available
Google spills the beans on how it plans to take some of the Knox enterprise technology and lock it into the next version of Android.
Samsung has updated its business-focused Knox with a dedicated app store and split billing so you can pay for work and personal calls separately.
Samsung signs up Lookout Mobile Security to strengthen its Knox enterprise security system.
Samsung's Knox, the security feature that separates your work data from your personal stuff, isn't on the Galaxy S4 as promised.
BlackBerry to offer end-to-end encryption for Samsung's Knox software, in an unlikely partnership between competitors.
Facebook at Work would keep your drunken updates and embarrassing selfies away from your colleagues and professional contacts.
Google takes YouTube into the premium realm, and BlackBerry strikes up some partnerships. Plus, the first Lumia to lose the Nokia branding. All that and more in this look back at the week in tech.
A promo suggests possible names for Google's next mobile operating system, from Lemon Meringue Pie to Lemon Drop.
Knox makes it possible to store personal and business files and photos separately within one secure phone.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs had a bit of a different look in their two home games last week - they looked a little scrappier.
The team is taking no a different personality this year, almost like they are all taking after Mike Hart. And the scrappy leader is taking notice.

- Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
- Release Date: Dec 21, 2007
- Starring: Gerard Butler, Harry Connick Jr., Hilary Swank
- Summary: Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart, and married to the love of her life--a passionate, funny, and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the form of a cake and, to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to order her to get out and "celebrate herself." In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way: P.S. I Love You. Holly's mother and her best friends Sharon and Denise begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her farther into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting, and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship, and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.

This misguided chick flick jumps through a lot of hoops just to state the obvious: "Life goes on, enjoy the time you have."
The film, written (with Steven Rogers) and directed by Richard LaGravenese, is long and drags in places. But the chief problem is that "P.S." feels like a gimmick.
Gerard Butler stars in a very good film where he helps a guarded woman get over a tragedy in her past. It's called "Dear Frankie" - go rent that instead.
The movie - with some gamy sexual references, a one-night stand and a long look at a stud muffin's naked buns - targets an older female audience. They may see it as unbearably cute, filled with ridiculous coincidences and laced with performances that - like the obnoxious soundtrack music - overstate the mood.
FYI, there's zero chemistry between P.S. I Love You's two commodified headliners. P.S.: The plus in the harsh grade goes solely to the divine Lisa Kudrow, delivering desperately needed laughs as the twitchy widow's husband-hunting best friend.
Lisa Kudrow, the designated comic relief, has never been so consistently unfunny, and Gina Gershon looks uncomfortable in every (pseudo-)inspirational moment.

[Anonymous]Jul 19, 2009I'm a guy who usually doesn't mind romantic comedies. I've found that how much I like a particular rom-com depends upon the comedy and chemistry of the lead characters.

Don't Believe in Science
Language is quite ambiguous at times and we can be misled by the casual way we use it in our everyday lives. Most of the time this doesn't really matter as 'sloppiness' is often a shorthand code and we can often understand the intention behind statements.
One problem that often occurs is when this casualness leads us into logical confusions because we were not specific enough in the way we employed language.
First Ghanaian elected to International Humanist Organisation
Press Release
First Ghanaian elected to International Humanist Organisation
Accra, Ghana 21 Aug 2014
Roslyn Mould from Accra, is the first Ghanaian to be elected to the International Humanist and Ethical Youth Organisation (IHEYO). Despite a record number of nominations this year, Ms Mould now holds the position of Secretary of the African Working Group, whose President is Ugandan Kato Mukasa.
Ms Mould stated,
"It's a great pleasure to be elected for this position and I am grateful to the Humanist Association of Ghana and international humanists for their unflinching support. I am excited to use this opportunity to promote human rights, the philosophy of humanism and to represent freethinking Africans positively."
My Visit to a Traditional African Priest
by Agomo Atambire (member of the Humanist Association of Ghana)
I am a Ghanaian, born and bred within this area of the earth we call Ghana and I have not lived outside of it (note). Taking you even further, I am from an ethnic group known as Frafras. Like the other ethnic groups that make up this country, the Frafras are very superstitious! One of my names is in honour of one of the gods of my people. Christianity and Islam may be what my people portray but they are neck deep in the traditional practices and I have had my family to as a primary source to view this charade.
I Daresay, You don't Believe in God!
By Paa Nii
In 2012, reports emerged that a Gallup poll involving 57 countries ranks Ghana as the most religious country in the world. The publication read:
"Overall, 59% of those surveyed described themselves as religious, 23% said they are not religious, and 13% said they are convinced atheists."
"The nations with the highest percentages of self-described religious persons are Ghana, Nigeria, Armenia, Fiji, Macedonia, Romania, Iraq, Kenya, Peru, and Brazil."
"The nations with the highest percentages of self-described "convinced atheists" are China, Japan, the Czech Republic, France, South Korea, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Iceland, Australia, and Ireland."
(You can read the poll report here).
There is something peculiarly funny and interesting between in the socio-economics and living standards of countries which majority of citizens professed "religious" as opposed to those countries where majority professed "convinced atheists"; – but that is a matter for another day.
In this piece, I want to argue that in large parts, the socio-cultural parameters for the validation of belief, are to say the least, misleading. And that most people who gladly tick / respond 'religious' to survey questionnaires in fact, do not believe. Easy! Please indulge me. Read More…
Three decades and a Year; Three Bullets Plus One
Humanist Association of Ghana:
One of our members, Paa Nii, has turned 31 and took this occasion to write a personal declaration of his humanist outlook.
Originally posted on The Mind of The Khal :
At thirty and one, I feel that I have a pretty good idea how my transient life will pan out. While I am fully aware of the insignificance of what I could contribute to humankind, I am neither so misguided nor so naive as to think that I cannot make a little difference. I may not change the world, but I can make a contribution towards changing it. I'm confident of making a contribution to the human struggle; I am confident that I can affect the lives of the few people I would meet in this short existence.
In the course of three decades I have learnt a couple of lessons. Some learnt from experience, some from the sheer luck of reading, others from rethinking my world views.
Here, I share with you what I hope to live for, how I hope my existence will be acknowledged, my hopes, my…

Holy Scriptures in the 21st Century
It is fascinating to watch believers trawl through their 'holy books' attempting to find justification for what they think their religions should really mean. They pull out phrases such as "Whoever kills a person [unjustly] it is as though he has killed all mankind" (Qur'an 5:32) as if we are supposed to be impressed by their profundity.
They emphasise how progressive various passages were in the Bronze and Iron Ages as if they are still progressive in the 21st century
Our Traditional Religions and Christianity – it's Magic!
by Louis Tim Walsh (member of Humanist Association of Ghana)
Scene 1 Somewhere in a Ghanaian forest, lying on a mat is a woman named Ama. Dancing around Ama are two priests and priestesses of the Afrikan traditional religion (ATR), dressed in animal skins, a raffia skirt, beads, bodies painted and holding a white fowl and the bones of a goat. Speaking in a language unknown to humans, they call on bossum anchiwiri, the baobab tree God to cure Ama of her sickness.
As a Christian, what do you think of the ceremony described above?

Scientists are the real prophets
Prophets, psychics, mediums, soothsayers, those who claim to channel aliens or angels, all claim to predict future events or to bring important messages from "other dimensions".
Often it appears these messages are more designed to give authority to these people rather than bringing anything of value. Some religions claim to have successions of prophets who run their organisations bringing new and updated information as humanity progresses, such as the Church of Latter Day Saints or the Baha'i Faith.
What is significant is the uninspiring and retrospective nature of these messages.

Vote for governor reflects obsolete views about the Fredericksburg area
Richard Amrhine's archive
E-mail Richard Amrhine
By RICHARD AMRHINE
AS DEMOCRAT Tim Kaine
It speaks volumes that Kaine beat Kilgore in traditional Republican strongholds such as Virginia Beach and Prince William and Loudoun counties--something not even Gov. Mark Warner was able to do. Voters in those localities decided they were pleased with Warner, even if he is a Democrat, and figured Kaine would stay the course.
Around here, though, the only localities that preferred Kaine as governor were the city of Fredericksburg and Caroline County, both of which have large minority populations and generally vote Democratic.
In Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, Orange, Culpeper and Fauquier counties, Kilgore ran strong. The former attorney general clobbered the lieutenant governor in each of those counties, claiming nearly 56 percent of the vote. That's a landslide--especially in a three-candidate field.
The results tell us a lot about our area, in particular that it is
There are various forces at work here. Those who don't like the way the region is changing include many who are native to the area, and many who came here from elsewhere but want to slam the door on everyone else.
We should sympathize with their feelings, but not much. Everyone has idyllic memories of the way things used to be. We all grow nostalgic from time to time and yearn for the simpler life of days past.
But people are kidding themselves to expect that life will stay the same forever. The changes here over the past generation or two have been remarkable. The Baltimore row-house neighborhood where I, and my parents before me, grew up has changed dramatically. The routes of our Sunday drives in the country are now lined with housing developments and shopping centers.

GLEE: Marley and Kitty are "Holding Out for a Hero" in fierce costumes| November 23, 2012 at 1:00 PM EST
Marley and Kitty may be frenemies, but they worked well together in this Glee duet.
Melissa Benoist and Becca Tobin dressed up as superheroes in the Glee episode "Dynamic Duets." Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) teamed these two girls together to sing, and they delivered in a big way.
Their song was "Holding Out for a Hero" as originally made famous by Bonnie Tyler.
Kitty Wilde wore a cat costume, while Marley was "WF" – which changed meaning from Wall Flower to Woman, Fierce. (Because, why not?)
And while some may have been expecting Kitty to sabotage Marley's costume to tear open, nothing like that ever happened.

Why Do Firms Use High Discount Rates?

We find that firms use discount rates for capital budgeting that are on average twice their cost of financial capital, based on an original survey of CFOs with firm identifiers linked to responses. Under the standard corporate finance paradigm, firms take all projects that return more than their cost of financial capital unless they are constrained. We explore the nature of the constraints that lead firms to increase their discount rates. Firms that use high discount rates relative to their cost of financial capital have strong balance sheets, low leverage, and large cash holdings. These firms appear to be conserving managerial bandwidth and manpower by forgoing good projects while preparing for even better investment opportunities to arise. This is consistent with their response that they are facing operational constraints but not financial constraints. CAPM and WACC explain the cross-section of discount rates after we control for limited managerial bandwidth.
