CBS and 60 Minutes hailed Cardinal Sean O'Malley for his handling of church sex-abuse cases. The lesson here is that if a Church official is willing to criticize the Church over the topic of sex abuse, the media will fête him as a media darling no matter what he has actually done as a Church official.

During his MSNBC show on Wednesday night, Ed Schultz and guest Mike Papantonio devoted five minutes to promoting, among other things, their beliefs that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson "crafted his answers" to the grand jury and in his interview with ABC News "to match the law" and that Fox News, the tea party, and conservatives will soon want their "made-for-TV folk hero" in Wilson to run for Congress and appear on Dancing with the Stars.
Following a series of clips from Wilson's interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Schultz welcomed in Papantonio and felt it was crucial to warn viewers that "I'm going to judge here, okay" that Wilson had "got crafted answers to match the law so he could escape justice."

On Wednesday's Today, NBC co-host Savannah Guthrie confronted Michael Brown's mother, Leslie McSpadden, as gently as you possibly could about her husband encouraging the latest round of Ferguson rioting. After showing a video of Louis Head screaming "Burn this b--ch down," McSpadden refused to hold him accountable for the aftermath. Instead, she blamed the white governor for the unrest. Guthrie had no pushback beyond "Can you explain what you mean?"

Mike Rowe, the former host of "Dirty Jobs" and now host of a new CNN series called "Somebody's Gotta Do It", is no stranger when it comes to attacks on his political beliefs. Recently, he was attacked on his own Facebook page by a liberal -- who incidentally tried to hock his liberal books by using Rowe's Facebook page as a marketing platform (and did it poorly).

In speech at the National Press Club on Tuesday, New York's senior Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer expressed regret over how Democrats handled their large majorities following the 2008 election in passing ObamaCare when they should have focused first on economic issues to address the recession.
Since then, the remarks have received no coverage from any of the "big three" in ABC, CBS, and NBC on either their respective morning or evening newscasts in a situation that undoubtedly would not be the case if a Republican Senator had expressed doubts about an initiative by a Republican-controlled Congress and White House.

During Wednesday's edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe program, Joe Scarborough asserted that if he behaved like 18-year-old Michael Brown did during the August 9 incident in Ferguson, Mo., a police officer would have reacted the same way Darren Wilson did even though the co-host is "a white guy."
"There are two criminal justice systems in America," Scarborough claimed at the start of the segment. "Black young men especially are not only treated worse on the street, they're treated worse in the court system, they're treated worse all the way through. What white kids get away with, black kids don't get away with."

The Grinch stole Christmas, and liberals have been trying to steal Thanksgiving.
Liberals are always looking for a platform to push their economic policies and bash capitalism via the media. Thanksgiving provides an opportunity for them to do both. Leading up to Turkey Day, liberals have consistently discovered inventive avenues for attacking businesses and philosophies they don't like while promoting their left-wing policies.

Fox News anchor Sean Hannity and his guests on Thursday night slammed the New York Times for printing key details about Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson's home address. An angry Hannity attacked, "If anything happens to that man, his family, or that home...the culpability is with them."

Thanksgiving isn't even past and Comedy Central has already started on its War on Christmas – in a way so foul it's almost impossible to imagine.
On Nov. 26, The Catholic League issued a press release on how "Comedy Central Fuels Hatred of America." In the release, President Bill Donohue called out a Nov. 25 Christmas episode of "Tosh.0" on Comedy Central entitled "Beef Baby Jesus." In it, host Daniel Tosh hyped how a previous episode asked viewers to tweet the hashtag #beefbaby. He then played a clip on how the "beef baby" was made – with meat, human feces and semen. And, as Donohue described, "Tosh then wrapped the 'beef baby' in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger."

Comedian Dana Carvey discussed politics and comedy with Carl Koslowski on his podcast Kozversations. "Because of the sensitivity of having an African-American president, which is completely understandable...It took a while to find a way to satirize our president," Carvey told Kozlowski. He admitted it took time to figure out how to satirize Obama. "We were all getting to know him as a country."
The host asked about his appearance at a Reagan Library event and whether he performs at benefits for both sides. Carvey said actor-activist Gary Sinise asked him to appear, and insisted he didn't change his jokes in any way. Then he turned to how it's "disturbing" that people on the left can't take a joke like conservatives can, and people are afraid to offend "the PC snake."

Someone at CBS News is obsessed with pot. This Morning on Wednesday again touted the wonder of legalized marijuana in Colorado. Co-host Jeff Glor enthused, "...Shoppers are already hearing about Green Friday bargains. The green is for marijuana."

On Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency is set to issue new regulations on ozone emissions by factories which could cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars in lost economic growth. Despite the potential harm these regulations could have to the U.S. economy, ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today ignored the story altogether on their Wednesday morning broadcasts. CBS This Morning provided a 17 second news brief but failed to mention the economic harm associated with the agency's action.

In the latest example of "Please just shut up and act," actor Christian Bale, star of Ridley Scott's upcoming Biblical epic "Exodus: Gods and Kings," has equated Moses with modern day terrorists.
"[He was] absolutely seen as a freedom fighter for the Hebrews, but a terrorist in terms of the Egyptian empire."

It's amazing how any reporter can cover the deepening economic crisis in Venezuela without saying a word about how the country got there.
But Associated Press reporter Hannah Dreier was up to the task. In a bizarre, sickening November 20 report on how its people are having to get "creative" in the face of chronic shortages of basic goods to get by, she acted as if those shortages — and the over five decades of worse problems in Cuba — somehow just happened.

Is this the computer mouse of the future?
The venerable computer mouse has a problem: No matter how perfect its contours may be, it still could lead to repetitive stress injuries if you use it for too long. That's why one Chicago inventor dared to reinvent the way we point and click, and his novel design is finally for sale.
The SmartFish ErgoMotion Laser Mouse isn't like other mice. Instead of laying flat in one plane, the mouse is mounted on a pivoting base, letting it respond to your hand's natural up and down movements. The freedom of movement is said to be more comfortable, thus cutting down on those RSIs. While touchscreens and trackpads can achieve similar goals, the ErgoMotion doesn't require you to re-learn how to point and click from scratch.
When we first saw the SmartFish ErgoMotion mouse (then called the Tru:Motion) we found it "surprisingly natural," though we were a little concerned that the pivoting mechanism was one more thing that could break. Still, we'd certainly be willing to try anything that would make those marathon Civilization-playing sessions more comfortable. And for just $50, why not?

The Life of Bakunin: anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, anti-statism May 31 0 comments
We do not see Bakunin as a god who never made mistakes. Of course he was not perfect. was a man, but a man who gave his all for the struggle of the oppressed, a revolutionary hero who deserves our admiration and respect. From Bakunin, we can learn much about revolutionary activism. We can learn even more about the ideas needed to win the age-old fight between exploiter and exploited, between worker and peasant, on the one hand, and boss and ruler on the other. The greatest honor we can do his memory is to fight today and always for human freedom and workers liberation.

Financial Conspiracy Theories
Aug 25, 2011
General Nonsense
I have a rule of thumb when it comes to conspiracy theories. If the theory involves aliens or government competence - such as keeping a secret for years - I don't believe the story. But if the conspiracy involves money, I generally believe it.
Here I'm using the term "conspiracy" loosely. For example, I don't think phone companies had meetings with their competitors in which they all agreed to be part of a
to avoid competing on price. I think everyone simply understands that price wars are bad for business, and they act rationally to avoid them. It's a conspiracy in effect, without the secret meetings.
This brings me to the question of banks. When I was a kid, we could put our money in savings accounts and earn 5% a year. That's how average citizens saved. Today, with interest rates so low, your bank doesn't really pay you anything. You simply give them your money and they use it to make more money for themselves. Arguably, they aren't even keeping your money especially safe, given the risk of bank default.
And so the average citizen has looked around in recent years for a better deal. Thanks to falling real estate values, discount stock brokers, and company 401K plans, the average person waded into the stock market. That allowed the titans of the investment world to grab the little investor by his ankles and shake until his pockets were half empty. How did they do that?
The conspiracy theory is that most of the market-wide gyrations we've seen in recent years are engineered by powerful investors. Stocks run up 10%, and the little investors pile in, buying stocks at high prices from the market movers who are getting out at the top. At that point, the titans of the finance world engineer a 10-20% drop in the market, thus giving the rich another buying opportunity. Repeat.
Here again, the conspiracy doesn't require anyone to hold secret meetings and decide who will do what. All you need for this system to work is for the big guys to be able to execute their trades faster than small investors, which we know is the case, and for the big investors to
have faster communication with each
other than small investors have with any other investors, which I assume is also the case. In other words, JPMorgan Chase knows what Goldman Sachs is doing, and vice versa, before CNBC reports it to you.
Some big investors also have the advantage of illegal insider information, and better/faster information about the business world in general, but that's not what I'm talking about here. That sort of information helps forecast legitimate moves in stock prices. I'm talking about the totally artificial gyrations we have seen all summer. I believe those are mostly the result of a system rigged against small investors.
And don't forget the financial advisors and brokers who take commissions from the small investors and benefit from the churn. And don't forget the media that needs to fan small fires into bigger ones to attract eyeballs. The entire system is designed to create small and continuous scares along with the occasional fear of missing out on big moves to the upside.
Let me put this to you another way: If the giants of finance thought they were personally better off with a stock market that didn't gyrate wildly, they would figure out a way to calm it down. Do you doubt that?
Notice also that small investors have moved away from investing in individual companies and toward ETFs and index funds. That means big investors need to manipulate entire markets to scare investors as opposed to manipulating individual companies. That's consistent with what we're seeing.
I think the rich were safe when the average citizen had a clear path to upward mobility. He could get a nice job with a pension, buy a home that appreciated, put some cash in a savings account and wait for compound interest to do its thing. The little guy didn't hate the rich so much when he thought he had a chance of joining the club, or at least moving in that direction. That all changed. Today, there's even a debate about whether it makes financial sense to go to college.
Notice that the rich have cleverly shifted the blame to Congress. The problem, they hope you believe, is all of the danged government spending and taxing! Focus on that hand, not the one that's holding you by the ankle and shaking.
If you want to screw the rich, buy stocks in the broad market indexes and just hold them forever. They hate that.

"I think the rich were safe when the average citizen had a clear path to upward mobility. He could get a nice job with a pension, buy a home that appreciated, put some cash in a savings account and wait for compound interest to do its thing. The little guy didn't hate the rich so much when he thought he had a chance of joining the club, or at least moving in that direction. That all changed. Today, there's even a debate about whether it makes financial sense to go to college. "
But if that were the case (rich being safe), wouldn't they be safer not creating extra uncertainty in the current climate where you have a president who'd be willing to just take everything over? I mean doesn't traditional theory say that the rich would have the most to lose if the US went communist/socialist?
Yet it seems like they are trying to create a case just for that.
Maybe they have found a way to make sure they are the only ones in the end who'd benefit from that switch. IE they get a personal new branch of congress that only they can vote for in exchange for all those extra taxes they'll have to pay. If that's the case not only should we invest broadly and hold, we should revert more back to the old days were banks gave you an interest rate and your house appreciated at least at the rate of inflation.

You have no more ability to screw the rich than an ant has the ability to screw an elephant. The only thing you can do is find a nice, shady spot and enjoy the ride. Just keep buying strong companies at discounted prices (read "The Intelligent Investor") and wait. Ignore daily market fluctuations and turn off the CNBCs of the world. You're the only one with your best interests at heart, so the only research you can trust is your own.

"If you want to screw the rich, buy stocks in the broad market indexes and just hold them forever. They hate that."
No, they *love* that! At one time shareholders controlled companies through their votes. But ETFs and broad index funds don't vote their shares, so the board of directors can do anything they want - like voting for ludicrous pay increases.
Screw the rich by buying a few companies and voting out guys that waste your money!

Not long ago industrial establishments were islands unto themselves, divorced from the primary purpose of life or source of livelihood. A family, children, community, nation etc were not driven by industrialisation but by naturalism, religion or plain witch-craft.
Today industrial wealth has become a part of the infrastructure. Its right there in the drawing room, the study, the kitchen, and in some cases in the bedroom too.
Earlier, money was what money could produce - money was made. These days money is what money buys - money is obtained.
Ofcourse, this cannot be generalised globally. There are still many villages in poorer nations like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka where money is not saved in banks. It is invested in purchase of small machines that are useful to the community like flour machines, farming equipment, tailoring machines, taxis, trucks etc. Each household has something that the rest of the community does not have. There is a good exchange of services. But ironically these people are often counted among under-developed or developing populations.
People are considered developed and smart when they deposit their savings with bankers, traders and merchants.

I started with the assumption that everything is a conspiracy. Then I realized I don't care and then just worked on ways to exploit the system. Only way to be truely happy.
Interpersonal relationships are the same. Assume you will be screwed over as much as possible then your pleasantly suprised when your not.

Somewhere between 60-80% of trading now is automated/electronic or computer software algorithms. They trade in milliseconds, they also stuff hundreds of thousands of quotes (bid/ask) through per each second, and cancel them just as fast. This is what led to the flash crash last year. A lot of the trades go through at price diffrerences of .0001, which is not much, but if you are trading millions of times per minute it all adds up.
These guys are now flash trading ETFs and preferred stocks. This is a recipe for disaster and Mary Schapiro just sits around and ignores it. The exchanges do not care because it is a huge revenue stream for them.
This HFT (High Frequency Trading) and quote stuffing should be banned outright. They say oh, but we are providing liquidity - this is bs. The risks and potential problems far outweigh any liquidity that is provided. These traders provide ZERO value to the market while creating a very very dangerous situation for individual investors, pension/retirement funds, and education savings.

Hold up. This whole market being gamed against the small/individual investor is a conspiracy theory?
It's always struck me as a foregone conclusion.
The big investment firms make heaps of cash nowadays on trades that occur faster than a human being can react. They make fractions of pennies on the shares they trade around, but due to sheer volume end up making a killing.

"If you want to screw the rich, buy stocks in the broad market indexes and just hold them forever. They hate that."
I read a book by Charles Schwab about 10 years ago that said to do that exact same thing. I guess he's been rich enough for long enough, that he doesn't mind giving out the secret to success.
Good book. I highly recommend it: http://www.amazon.com/Charles-Financial-Independence-Completely-ebook/dp/B000XUBE0C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1314287527&sr=8-3

I have been thinking exactly the same thing for some time now. It's glaringly obvious. The maths and assumptions known as the Capital Asset Pricing Model that enables this widespread con job (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_asset_pricing_model) has been pushed down finance student's throats for some time.
I believe it should be compulsory for all people who ever save money to read Ben Graham's classic, The Intelligent Investor.

The concept of increasing taxes on the rich to be able to pay for more social programs for the poor is a manner of the government telling the rich what to pay their employees. Instead of the rich paying the employees more, so they're less poor, they have to pay the government who in turn distributes (less) money to them. If the rich paid more directly to the employees, then the employees would have more, the rich would have less, and the government would not be looking to tax them more. So, at the risk of higher taxes because they didn't share more money down the chain, they keep the money.
The amounts we're talking about, while they can be sizable to the poor, are not so sizeable to the rich. In essence, they are !$%*!$%* over the little guys over a small part of the market anyway. They must want to go out and hit the pace car (see Days of Thunder).

Interesting idea, but do the 'little guys' make up a large enough part of the market to make it worthwhile to screw them over? Probably not.

RELEASED: Feb. 1, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — Financial Aid professionals from local colleges and universities will be among those helping area high school seniors and their parents apply for financial aid during College Goal Sunday.
The free event will begin at 2 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Chippewa Valley Technical College, 620 W. Clairemont Ave. Similar sessions will take place at the same time at 20 locations throughout the state with the goal of helping hundreds of high school students and their families access federal and state college aid.
During the Eau Claire session, financial aid experts from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, UW-Stout, CVTC, Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction/WEOP and lending institutions will provide step-by-step help in completing and submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This form is an essential first step to attaining financial aid for higher education.
College Goal Sunday is designed to address the needs of low-income and first-generation college families, many of whom think they cannot afford to attend college. Completing the FAFSA is the first step these students must take to overcome their financial burdens and pursue their goals of higher education.

Co-Producer Alexis Jaworski will visit campus during Family Weekend to screen her documentary, Sole Survivor, on Saturday, October 26 at 2 p.m. in the Park Hall Auditorium. Sole Survivor is film that tells the complex story of four people who became sole survivors of commercial airline disasters There will be a Q&A session following the screening.
About Sole Survivor:
In the history of aviation, there have only been 14 of them: sole survivors of commercial airline disasters. Most have never spoken publicly about the loss, the guilt, the immense pressure of feeling "spared," Who, after all, could ever truly understand?
The answer is only each other. Focusing on George Lamson Jr., the only survivor of the 1985 crash of Galaxy Airlines Flight 203, Sole Survivor lets four of them share their very complex, personal stories for the first time. They relive the darkest moments of their lives—with the film's viewers and each other—in an effort to heal and overcome.
For more information about the film, visit: SoleSurvivorFilm.com
When the love of Edie Windsor's life died, she was forced to pay additional estate taxes because the federal government did not recognize her marriage to Thea Spyer. Edie would become the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit challenging the Defense of Marriage Act, resulting in the Supreme Court ruling in June that the federal ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen series will show "Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement," a documentary capturing the story of these two women and how their simple love for one another changed history at 7 p.m. in Textor 101 on Thursday September 12, and it is free and open to the public.

A USB message in a bottle
Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - 10:28am
From Japan's Hum design studio comes this little gem, the "hum blank." Looking at this, do you see a bottle that's completely empty, or one that's filled to the brim? Both perceptions are correct, and are right at the same time. Whoa.
No details on where one outside Japan could pick up this deliciously simple design, though this Japanese store seems to carry the corked drive for 3,465 yen, or about $43. The drive is listed as having a 2 GB capacity, so you're paying a premium for design. (In this case: worth it.)

Super Bowl Prop Pool Printable Template and Rules
Find out how to set up and run a Super Bowl Prop pool using our free printable template with sample props, sheets, and rules
Super Bowl Prop bet pools are a great way to enjoy the big game with your family, friends or co-workers. While easy to set up and run, we've included instructions, sample prop bet sheets, and rules below just in case you need them. Most states in the U.S. have clarified their laws regarding this form of entertainment, allowing it as long as 100 percent of the funds in the pool are paid back out to the contestants. We strongly suggest that you check both your local laws and workplace rules before participating in any office pool.
Proposition or Side Bet pools have become an extremely popular form of Super Bowl office pool. Prop bets are posed in the form of a question. Who will do something? Will something happen? Will something not happen? The questions can be anything and some of them are quite imaginative. Some of them are downright silly. For example, some past prop bets have included questions like: What will the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach be? Will Madonna wear a hat at any point during the halftime show?
Most prop bets are slightly more serious, but they can still be unusual. Classic Super Bowl prop questions include: Which team will score first? Who will win the coin toss? And any other side bet you can think of.
Super Bowl Prop Pool Rules
- Either print our list of 25 Super Bowl props or create your own list of props. We chose 25 props because that number seemed manageable but your prop list can include more or fewer props. It's up to you.
- Decide how much it will cost to buy into the pool and collect the money from each participant.
- Decide how many winners there will be. Is your pool going to be Winner Take All or will you have first, second, and third places?
- Have your pool participants fill out and turn in their answers to the prop questions before the start of the Super Bowl.
- Participants are awarded one (1) point for each correct answer.
- Whoever has the most points at the end of the Super Bowl wins.
- In the event of a tie, the tie breaker question determines the final winner(s).
- Distribute the money to the winner(s) and have them buy everyone a beer!

The AFF workforce consists of those earning their livelihood in the AFF sector and is diverse in race, ethnicity, language, culture, class, and social norms. The bulk of the workforce is made up of hired workers, and many are employed only on a seasonal basis. Large portions of AFF hired and contract workers are low-literacy, non-English speaking immigrants, many of whom are not authorized to work in the United States: in fisheries, increasing numbers are of West African or East Asian origin; in agriculture, the vast majority are from Mexico or Central America. Language barriers are becoming greater as more and more hired and contract workers speak languages lesser known in the United States, such as Triqui, Mixtec, Zapotec, Maya, Purépecha, and Quechua; at least a dozen languages are spoken daily on U.S. farms, and most do not have a written form. Efforts to engage these populations must overcome barriers of language, culture, race, ethnicity, and class.
Underlying the challenges of engaging AFF workers is the deep-seated division between those who seek immediate practical solutions to their problems and those in the research community who prefer to engage in contemplation or laboratory experimentation. The historical foundation of that divide in our society has been well described by Hofstadter in Anti-intellectualism in American Life (1963). Compounding the barrier is the low level of scientific literacy among workers that the AFF Program seeks to engage. One might say that the reverse is also true: that the schism between the intellectuals and the workforce is perpetuated by a failure of the intellectuals to communicate effectively on workers' terms, taking into account different work circumstances and cultural attitudes. Finding common ground or even a meeting space comfortable for all parties may be difficult.
The following pages describe four instances in which efforts to overcome barriers were successful to the benefit of all parties. The examples illustrate approaches, not recipes, that AFF projects could adopt or adapt.
In 1988, the Ford Foundation challenged the California Institute for Rural Studies (CIRS) to undertake research in the subject of farm labor and rural poverty in California. The challenge included a requirement that academics, laborers, and community leaders meet and develop a collaborative agenda. A meeting place had to be found in which all parties would be comfortable. The bias of the CIRS staff in selecting a meeting space was that a university or college setting would probably be inappropriate because relatively few farm laborers had ever attended college or felt comfortable among highly articulate experts. In the end, a modest motel with suitable meeting rooms near downtown Fresno was selected. That choice was made because Fresno is in the center of the San Joaquin Valley, the most productive agri-

Behind that Mona Lisa smileBy Bayani San Diego Jr.
One look at Epy Quizon and screen legend Mona Lisa couldn't help exclaiming: "You look exactly like Dolphy."
One look at Epy Quizon and screen legend Mona Lisa couldn't help exclaiming: "You look exactly like Dolphy."
After the preview of "Katy" last week, Fanny Serrano, who designed the costumes, was in tears.
DULCE (right) got nervous when she found out that Celeste Legaspi was watching last week's performance of "Katy." Celeste was the original Olivia, the character Dulce plays in the revival. "I saw Teteng (Celeste's nickname) on her feet, clapping," Dulce recalled. "I've always looked up to her. When I saw her at the lobby, I got emotional." Celeste said she and Dulce share a special friendship. "We were both extremely overjoyed to share the role and the special song 'Minsan ang Minahal ay Ako.'" Bayani San Diego Jr., Photo by Aaron Ching
China Cojuangco is delighted to be in the cast of "Katy," the musical that runs until Sunday at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Little Theater (Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino). "I'm part of the ensemble so my role varies per scene," she beamed. "I do a young Gloria Romero, for one. This original Filipino musical […]

19th-century ledger rescued from trash in Danville
A 19th-century Danville store ledger destined for the trash heap has been rescued.
Danville Historical Society President Sarah Latham tells the Danville Register & Bee that an inmate sorting recycling spotted the ledger. He put the ledger aside and told Danville Public Workers employees about it.
Latham says the entries are from 1871 to 1878. The historical society hasn't been able to determine the store.
She says the ledger would have been gone forever if not for a history-loving inmate.
Latham is asking residents who have old letters, diaries or other documents to contact the historical society.

One-sentence review for "Black Book"
Saw Paul Verhoeven's Black Book a while ago, liked it enough (with reservations), but didn't think much more about it until I was researching 2007 U.S. box office and saw the poster again. Suddenly I was reminded of a line from Philip Roth's Zuckerman Unbound, attributed, in the novel, to a Warner Bros. wag, and used to describe Caesara O'Shea, a beautiful actress Nathan Zuckerman finds himself inexplicably dating after the success of Carnovsky. Turns out to be the perfect one-sentence review for Black Book:
"All the sorrow of her race and then those splendid tits."

Them Crooked Vultures have been rocking the land of Aus along with kicking Europe's ass over the winter and now they set flight for the true-north-strong as part of their North American tour. Kicking off on April 14th in Los Angles and after trips to Coachella, Vegas and the Fillmore in Denver, TCV will open up their Canadian leg on May 11th in Quebec City with stops also scheduled in Montreal (05/12), Ottawa (05/13), Toronto (05/12) and Windsor (05/16).
Indianapolis and Chicago round out the North American leg, sorry folks, no word on when The Vultures will visit the west coast of Canada, but of course when that announcement happens, we'll be all over it.
In other TCV news, recently it was reported that recording of the second Vultures album was stalled due to Dave Grohl's addiction to coffee… seriously. Grohl was rushed to hospital after suffering from the side effects of caffeine overload. Since the scare, Grohl is determined to cut down his intake from a reported FIVE POTS OF COFFEE A DAY! To watch caffeinated Grohl loose his mind and other behind the scenes footage check out this video Dave Grohl in FRESH POTS!

I am working on a mobile website and would like to test it using my iPhone browser. My Windows 7 machine and iPhone are on the same wireless network. How do I access localhost from the iPhone? Right now I get a 404 error.
Accessing localhost from the iPhone will simply do a loopback / try to connect to itself (If it supports that?).
What you need to do is find the IP of your desktop machine (e.g. If Windows, go to the
Once you have your ip, simply visit that from your browser e.g.
You may need to open up port 80 (or whatever port your website is running on) in the outgoing security of your firewall if you are running one.
If you are using Mac, go to System Preferences > Network and use your IP address instead of localhost. You can also use port number. In my case, I have a server running on port 1448 and I can preview 192.168.1.241:1448 using iPhone.
If you're using MAMP, key in your IP address (let's say 22.214.171.124) in your iPhone Safari browser, followed by the port number 8888 (e.g. 18.104.22.168:8888) and you will be able to see your local site in your iPhone.
And if you're using a WAMP server, again in your iPhone safari browser just key in the IP address (let's say 18.104.22.168) and that's it. But don't forget to remove the

Have a look at this answer, it discusses internally routing HTTP through direct Objective-C calls to an HTTP-capable layer/embedded web server (let's assume that the HTTP server code is within the same application that wishes to display the HTML within a web widget).
This has the advantage of being slightly more secure (and possibly faster) as no port(s) should be exposed.
You can use ip of computer instead http://localhost.
But it may be not accessible. You must edit the httpd.conf (or equivalent configuration file) of your server software. I do not have php installed right now but you can search with keyword: "Allow from or /Directory"
Note: IP of the PC where XAMPP is running should be a static IP(not assigned by DHCP), otherwise you have to check it manually every time you restart the PC.
I wanted to accomplish the same thing as the original request, and looked for an answer here, and turned off every firewall and virusprotection to no avail.
Then, I found the following statment regarding IIS express in the microsoft documentation: "IIS express does not serve requests to a browser on another computer, making its approval easier in corporate environments".
Bottom line - you will have to install IIS (not the delivered IIS express) to get your project to be seen outside your computer.

If you are working on a php project you can change the base href:
Doing that is essential to load images, css and js files on your phone.

the analogy between the noises we make when these noises do not symbolize anything which exists, and the worthless checks we write when our bank balance is zeroAlfred Korzybski
It is now no mystery that some quite influential philosophers were mentally ill.Alfred Korzybski
The strategy of semantic ascent is that it carries the discussion into a domain where both parties are better agreed on the objects (viz., words) and on the main terms connecting them. Words, or their inscriptions, unlike points, miles, classes and the rest, are tangible objects of the size so popular in the marketplace, where men of unlike conceptual schemes communicate at their best. The strategy is one of ascending to a common part of two fundamentally disparate conceptual schemes, the better to discuss the disparate foundations. No wonder it helps in philosophy.Willard Van Orman Quine
Interestingly, if you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as absolute historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell. Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment. I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.Dan Brown

The 2013 Martin Popoff 28-page ebook about the making of the Sweet album, Off The Record.
If you want a whole book of stories from 1977 (including this one, but in shorter form), go pick up Ye Olde Metal: 1977. But specifically to satisfy the Sweet tooth, grab this one-bucker for the story of a crunching hard rock classic often forgotten when talk turns to Sweet, the spotlight usually being reserved for Give Us A Wink and the overlapped previous two. Yea and verily, I love writing these things just like a radio guy likes to spin records, namely to alert you to forgotten classics. Off The Record will not disappoint, as it's truly the last heavy Sweet collection welled up with all those Connolly vocals and inhuman harmonies you've grown to love.

Step Inside a Playfully Quaint 18th-Century Connecticut Farmhouse
At her historic Connecticut farmhouse, rug designer Ellen Allen celebrates laid-back style that brings the outside in.
By Lisa Cregan
Natural Instincts
Ellen Allen has spent her life surrounded by pattern, color, and good designand it shows throughout her 1745 Woodbury, Connecticut, home. With its wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and original paned glass windows, the Colonial building all but invites predictable period-style furnishings. Instead, she filled it with a mix of flea market finds, pretty florals, and just the right dose of invigorating green. Consider it a case study for how to revitalize a historic house with fresh decor.

TRENTON, N.C. – There is big economic development news out of Jones County.
The Beer Army Combat Brewery broke ground at a 10,000 square-foot facility in Trenton.
The craft brewing business has been booming across North Carolina in recent years, but not in the eastern part of the state.
Once back from deployment, Marine Maj. Dustin Canestorp would often brew up a batch of his own original beer for his buddies.
"I started loosely calling us the Beer Army," said Canestorp.
Approaching retirement, in a recovering economy and an economically depressed town, Canestorp saw opportunity in the craft brewing business in eastern North Carolina.
"For me, my American dream is entrepreneurship and I love beer. I wanted to marry those two together somehow," said Canestorp.
Thus, the Beer Army actually became a real thing. Five years of work led up to this groundbreaking at the Beer Army Combat Brewery in Trenton on Thursday.
"We believe that with the job creation and with this company's outlook on for community partnership," said Jayne Robb, Jones County economic development director, "it's going to give Jones County just a new complex addition to growth. Jones County being a rural county, as you know, we're also a tier -one county, we can use all the job development growth that we can get."
The brewery will partner with local farmers, spur tourism and generate revenue for the area.
"There's not much industry here so we found a small town here in Trenton and we really feel like we can make a big impact here in the community," said Scott Andrews, public affairs officer for Beer Army
Canestorp said in addition to following his dream to be a military service member, he's just trying to do what he can for his country.
"What's going to get this country back on track is the small business entrepreneur," he said. "That's where I feel we have a lot of strength and we can leverage that and help out our local community."
The brewery hopes to create 25 jobs over the next five years and has already donated $80,000 to charity since 2010.
The new facility is expected to be up and running by the end of February.

Description & Highlights2 Reviews | Write a Review
The Summit Professional Model 24" Gas Range - Stainless Steel (model: TNM63027BFKWY) brings the classic designs and durability of stainless steel to apartment sized ranges. This model is all made in the USA, and has much larger ovens than most competing products. Our ovens are fully porcelain, as are the tops, manifolds and burner boxes. The TNM63027BFKWY stainless steel ranges also have oven windows and lights, and clocks with timers. This gas model has sealed burners and electronic (spark) ignition. Our ranges use more steel and porcelain than virtually all of the competition, and NEVER use cinder-blocks to add weight and balance, as many imported ranges do.

Day26 on Diddy's Move: 'It Came as a Surprise'
Diddy announced on Twitter today that he has officially left Warner Music Group and signed a new deal with Interscope Geffen A&M, leaving behind his Bad Boy roster and catalog. But while the move is good news for Puff, what does it mean for his group Day26?
Willie Taylor, one-fifth of Day26, spoke to Rap-Up.com in an exclusive interview. "The business of it is still getting taken care of as we speak," he revealed. "We're just trying to figure it out. Once the paperwork is done, then we'll know."
One thing's for certain, the R&B quintet will remain at Atlantic Records. "It might be Bad Boy/Atlantic, it might just be Atlantic. Right now, it's up in the air. We know we not gonna be Bad Boy/Interscope though. That's not even part of the situation."
Diddy called the "Making the Band" stars to personally deliver the news. "He called us and let us know everything that was going on, the move he was making. And it's a good move for him."
Robert, Brian, Willie, Mike, and Q are content with remaining behind at Atlantic. "We cool, whatever works for your career. At the end of the day, as long as our Ts are crossed and our Is are dotted, we happy at Atlantic."
As for what will happen to other Bad Boy artists like Cassie and Donnie Klang, "I have no idea," Willie said. "It came as a surprise and I was just still excited about the interest in keeping Day26 [on Atlantic]. I gotta get past that first."
Day26 remains confident and positive about what lies ahead. "It's easy. It's like going to any other label. You just gotta figure out the system there and how they work and who's gonna be your A&R for this project, letting them know that you're worthy of being there. Day26 has no problem with that. We will convince any record label that we're worthy of being there."Tweet

Tutorial Data
From Workbench
Tutorial data files
All data sets used in the tutorials are available from the download area of our site.
The file Bcell-100.zip contains the file Bcell-100.exp, which is a geWorkbench data matrix format file containing 100 Bcell experiments using Affymetrix U95-Av2 chips. It contains the same data as the file "webmatrix2.exp" which has been used in the tutorials previously. The array groups have been given more descriptive names. The data has been processed using the Affymetrix MAS5 normalization routine. It comes from the lab of Dr. Ricardo Dalla-Favera at the Institute for Cancer Research at Columbia University. The 100 arrays represent B-cell experiments drawn from a variety of conditions, including cancerous and normal, germinal center and non-germinal center.
The file "tutorial_data.zip" contains the following files:

- webmatrix2_quantile_log2_dev1.2_mv0.exp -A geWorkbench "exp" format matrix file containing filtered, normalized data. This data originally derives from the file "webmatrix.exp", but one group of columns has been rearranged so that each condition (phenotype) is kept in one block (webmatrix2.exp).
- NM_024426-Wilms.fasta -A Genbank nucleotide seqeuence file.
- NP_077744-Wilms.fasta -A Genbank protein seqeuence file.
- H1H5_HistoneDB_NHGRI.fasta -Contains H1 and H5 histone sequences from the NHGRI.
- cluster_tree_total_pearsons_84_markers.csv - Contains a list of 84 markers derived from hierarchical clustering of webmatrix2.
- 640f84ClusterPearsonsSeqs.fasta - Contains FASTA sequences for 64 of the 84 markers in the list above.
- cluster_tree_total_pearsons_64of84_markers.csv -Contains the marker set for the 64 sequences in the above set.
The following are from older examples being phased out.
- ClusterTree38_Sequences.fasta -Contains sequences derived from hierarchical clustering (old example).
- cluster_tree_12markers.csv -Contains a list of markers derived from hierarchical clustering (old example).

Tak Seng On Pawnshop (The Virtue and Success Pawnshop) was established in 1917. The architecture, interior design and furniture would have been very similar to pawnshops in Mainland China at that time. To preserve the cultural heritage of Macao, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao S.A.R. Government undertook the restoration of Tak Seng On, which now affords the visiting public a glimpse at the heyday of the pawnshop industry in Macao. In September 2004, Macao's "Tak Seng On Pawnshop" received an Honourable Mention in the UNESCO 2004 Asia-Pacific Awards for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage.

The good, bad and ugly history of Microsoft hardware
We look back at some of the memorable products in Microsoft's hardware history
By Alex Cocilova | PC World | Published: 18:13, 14 November 2012
Microsoft built its identity on software development. Just refer to the name, and pay special attention to the "soft." But throughout its storied history, the company has progressively become much more of a multi-discipline workshop, producing physical gear alongside ethereal software code. And now we have the Surface RT tablet, the perfect springboard to recount some of the most memorable (and forgettable) products in Microsoft's hardware history.
2004: Microsoft Fingerprint Reader
Using different passwords can be a pain to remember and using the same one for all your accounts is a risky practice. So in 2004, Microsoft introduced a fingerprint scanner to help alleviate password headaches... but probably ended up inducing more trouble of a different kind.
The device could store up to 10 fingerprints per user, each of which would be registered with a username and password and stored on your system. It was marketed as a tool of convenience and not security because the system didn't encrypt the saved fingerprint data. Indeed, anyone with the right tools could gain access to the fingerprint files, and thus all the information belonging to the owner of each digit.

Property Name:
Parkton Hotel
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
18848, York Road (MD 45), Parkton, Baltimore County
The Parkton Hotel is a 2 ½-story brick structure, five bays wide by three bays deep, constructed between 1850 and 1860 at the intersection of the Baltimore and York Town Turnpike (now York Road) and the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad in the village of Parkton in northern Baltimore County, Maryland. The principal (west) façade is symmetrical, and is spanned by a two-tiered, shed-roofed gallery which wraps around the south gable end. A total of three first-floor entrances are located in the central end bays; another door in the central bay of the second story affords access to the upper deck of the gallery. Windows of 6/6 sash with heavy wooden lintels occupy the remaining openings. Three gabled dormers with 2/2 sash are evenly spaced in the west slope of the building's gable roof, which is clad in standing-seam metal. The south gable end has a centered 6/6 window on the first floor, flanked by doors; the right-hand entrance is formal, featuring a transom and sidelights of frosted glass with a foliated pattern. Above, a centered door opens onto the second-story deck. The half-story is lighted by a large central pair of 4/4 windows, flanked by 2/2 sash. The north gable exhibits similar fenestration but lacks entrances and porch. Both gables have paired interior end chimneys. A two-story, two-bay, shed-roofed frame addition dating from 1884 extends to the rear of the brick block; this ell has a simple Italianate-influenced cornice at each end and a one-story porch with turned posts and scrollwork brackets across its south façade. The interior of the building retains much of its original, severely plain architrave trim and four-panel doors, with two simple mantels. The building retains considerable integrity and has benefited from sensitive restoration in recent years.
The Parkton Hotel is significant for its association with the development of transportation in the 19th century between the important market centers of York, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland. In the mid 19th century, the primary transportation links between these points were the Baltimore and York Town Turnpike, completed in 1810, and the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad, which opened in 1838. The Parkton Hotel, constructed in 1850-1860, was advantageously sited at an intersection of these major arteries and accommodated travelers using both modes. Of the many hotels which were integral to Baltimore County's 19th century transportation network, only six remain. The Parkton Hotel derives additional significance from its architecture, which embodies the distinctive characteristics of mid-to-late 19th century lodgings in rural northern Maryland in its brick construction, simple massing, multiple entrances, and limited interior and exterior ornament. Pennsylvania influence is reflected in the two-story porch which spans the west façade; the building retains a high degree of integrity.

W. Burton
(SwStr: t. 253; l. 151'; b. 25'; dr. 5'6"; cpl. 75)
W. Burton, also known as William Burton and Burton, was built at New Albany, Ind., in 1857. She was operating privately as a New Orleans steamboat prior to being acquired by the Confederate States. In April 1862 W. Burton is reported serving as an unarmed tender to CSS Louisiana.
Under Captain Hammond, W. Burton was attached to the force of Capt. J. K. Mitchell, CSN, commanding Confederate naval forces in the lower Mississippi near the Confederate forts St. Philip and Jackson. W. Burton was also used to berth many of the officers and crew of Louisiana while the latter, with mechanics on board working day and night, was being prepared as well as possible for battle.
Flag Officer D. G. Farragut, USN, ran his fleet up the lower Mississippi past the Confederate forts on 24 April 1862, and inflicted great damage on the Confederate ships. In the engagement W. Burton was badly damaged but remained seaworthy. Captain Hammond and his crew left her and turned her over to Captain Mitchell to be operated directly by the Confederate Navy.
The Confederate Forts, Jackson and St. Philip surrendered on 28 April 1862 to Comdr. D. D. Porter, USN. Captain Mitchell believing that he was not bound by the surrender of the army command at the forts, set fire to Louisiana on the east bank of the Mississippi near Fort St. Philip to keep her from falling into Union hands. He and his men, realizing that capture was inevitable, retired to the opposite shore with the unarmed tenders W. Burton and Landis. After three Federal gunboats fired at them, W. Burton and Landis surrendered to Commander Porter.
W. Burton was turned over to the U.S. Army and used as a transport in the Mississippi River.
