EAST PEORIA, Ill. — Hours after he said he doesn't "care what the unemployment rate's going to be," Rick Santorum admitted to an Illinois crowd that he sometimes wishes he had the opportunity for a "do-over."
"Issues are important in a campaign. But over the next four years, who knows what issues the next president's going to have to confront. And you're going to be voting for a person. You're going to be voting whether that person has the character, the integrity, the honesty, and the courage to be able to take on the challenges that this country faces. And that's what I've tried to do in this campaign," Santorum said tonight during a rally outside Davis Bros Restaurant.
"Now when you got out there and you don't talk from a teleprompter, and you're not, you know, reading notes that someone else gave you, occasionally you say something things, you wish you had a, you know, a do-over," he said. "But you know what, I think it's important that you get a sense of how real the candidate is, mistakes and all."
During a campaign stop in Moline earlier today, Santorum argued that freedom formed the basis of his campaign, but as he tried to make his point, he slipped up and made the unemployment comment, which his main rival, Mitt Romney, quickly pounced on and used in a speech in Peoria.
Santorum later attempted to clarify his statement to reporters, saying he was concerned about unemployment rates but that his "candidacy doesn't hinge" on them.
He steered clear of citing what he believes will be the most important issue in the 2012 election and instead pointed to a host of "big issues" in the race.
"This is an election about big things. Sure, there are a lot of big issues — the economy's a big issue, unemployment's a big issue. Our national security and what's going on with a nuclear Iran is a big issue," he said.
Romney and Santorum have traded barbs throughout the past week, trying to paint each other as the "lightweight" in the race, but at his last event in Illinois before the state's primary Tuesday, Santorum took a page out of the Democratic playbook by using a recent joke of Obama strategist David Axelrod as he poked at Romney's claim that he is the "economic heavyweight" in the race.
"Governor Romney said that, you know, Rick Santorum is an economic lightweight, as if the person who put in the 'Romneycare' and raised taxes by almost a billion dollars as governor of Massachusetts and was 47th out of 50th in job creation where the four years below, Massachusetts was 16th," he said. "If he's an economic heavyweight, I'm going to quote David Axelrod. He must be looking in a funhouse mirror. Because if a heavyweight is 47th out of 50 and increasing taxes and putting in huge government programs, then we don't have much to campaign on as Republicans.
"Ladies and gentleman, we need someone who has a positive plan for America," he said. "Not just cutting taxes for the high income but our plan talks about making sure that every single American has an opportunity to rise in society."
In an interview with CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday, Axelrod said, "If (Romney) thinks he's an economic heavyweight, he must be looking in a funhouse mirror."
Santorum, who is trailing Romney in the polls in Illinois, will spend primary night in Gettysburg, Pa. Hogan Gidley, national communications director for Santorum, explained in a statement that the site was selected in honor of President Abraham Lincoln's delivery of "his most poignant and passionate defense of freedom and the American spirit."
GQ reported today the Secret Service code names selected by the top two Republican candidates: Romney and Santorum. Romney selected the name "Javelin," while Santorum opted for "Petrus," which he told reporters while he mingled with the crowd that he selected because it was his grandfather's name in Latin.

For Release Tuesday, June 28 to all other media
Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter's land.
Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.

Gear Guide 2014: Basecamp
Whether your digs are a sleeping bag under the stars or a shiny new Sprinter, here are 31 of the best new things to improve any climbing trip.
Whether your digs are a sleeping bag under the stars or a shiny new Sprinter, here are 31 of the best new things to improve any climbing trip.
Innovative, smart, lust-worthy, and just plain cool: 10 new must-have products that topped our testers' lists.
"The chimneys and offwidths of the Utah desert are some of the toughest proving grounds for apparel, and if anything functions well and emerges unscathed, it's a winner in my book," said one tester after rocking the Backdraft for several pitches of wide (and wider) cracks.
Every season, the latest gear promises more breathability or warmth or weather protection. But which pieces work so well you can forget they're there? And which should just be forgotten? From crystal-clear days on cracks at Lumpy Ridge to hail and heart-stopping thunder in the Black Canyon, we reviewed more than 100 articles of clothing to bring you the best of the bunch.
"Although I was skeptical at first, this piece has revamped my layering system," said a tester who took it ice climbing for 14 consecutive days in Utah. It was so windproof and breathable, one tester wondered, "How do they do it?" Eight-hundred-fill down on the front and back torso insulated key body parts, and FlashDry Pertex Quantum GL nylon on the sleeves and sides blocked the wind while wicking and drying sweat.
"Forget every other down puffy you've ever worn—this will beat them all," one tester declared. The 750-fill down kept us warm in single-digit temps throughout the West. "Belay puffy, around town, skiing… I wore this every day this winter," another tester said. The superior warmth and airy feel of this 23-oz. jacket (men's M) was the foundation of our testers' obsessions, but it was the climber-centric features that sealed the deal.
"That was fun!" said one tester after designing his own jacket from colors to materials to fill. "And the jacket has proven to be a bombproof performer, too." Wild Things lets you select from a range of features and fabrics at a competitive price, with a 14-day delivery turnaround.
A simple polyester shell with elastic cuffs and a drawstring hem houses a brushed interior of 200g Polartec fleece. Sounds uncomplicated until you look at the inside of this jacket: The fleece—lining the chest and back—is pocked with dozens of dime- to quarter-sized holes that trap heat when you need it and ventilate when you don't.
"This hooded, midweight jacket quickly became my go-to piece for chilly days at the crag and while navigating alpine terrain," says one contributing editor. "It's the climber-oriented fit that won me over: The torso is trim while the waist and arms are long, so the Pegasus stayed tucked under a harness and always covered my wrists when reaching overhead."
Labeled as a "do-everything hoody for the do-everything athlete," this full-zip midlayer really does all mountain sports well. Our testers took it (and the women's version, the Avail Hoody) from boulderfields in northern California to the long multi-pitches of Red Rock to ski slopes in Colorado.
Patagonia's own version of water-resistant down ups the ante by boosting loft to an astonishing 1,000-fill. They zap 800-fill down with radio waves until its molecular structure changes, allowing the plumes to accept a silicone DWR treatment without the use of chemical binders.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Mavericks is a surfing location in Northern California. It is located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) from shore outside Pillar Point Harbor, just north of the town of Half Moon Bay at the village of Princeton-by-the-Sea. After a strong winter storm in the northern Pacific Ocean, waves can routinely crest at over 25 feet (7.6 m) and top out at over 80 feet (24 m). The break is caused by an unusually shaped underwater rock formation.
Mavericks is a winter destination for some of the world's best big wave surfers. Very few riders become big wave surfers; and of those, only a select few are willing to risk the hazardous, sometimes deadly, conditions at Mavericks. An invitation-only contest is held there most winters, when the waves come.
In early March 1967, Alex Matienzo, Jim Thompson, and Dick Knottmeyer surfed the distant waves off Pillar Point. With them was Matienzo's roommate's white-haired German Shepherd, Maverick, who was accustomed to swimming with his owner and Matienzo while they were surfing. The three surfers left Maverick on shore, but he swam out to them. Finding the conditions unsafe for the dog, Matienzo tied him up before rejoining the others. The riders had limited success that day as they surfed overhead peaks about 1/4 mile from shore, just along the rocks that are visible from shore; they deemed the bigger outside waves too dangerous. The surfers named the location after Maverick, who seemed to have gotten the most pleasure from the experience. [1]
Sea-floor maps released by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2007[2] revealed the mechanisms behind Mavericks waves. A long, sloping ramp leads to the surface. The ramp slows the propagation of the wave over it. The wave over the deep troughs on each side of the ramp continues at full speed forming two angles in the wavefront centered over the boundaries between the ramp and the troughs. The result of this is a U-shaped or V-shaped wavefront on the ramp that contains the wave energy from the full width of the ramp. This U-shaped or V-shaped wave then collapses into a small area at the top center of the ramp with tremendous force.[3]
The left at Mavericks is rarely ridden, as the wave tends to be unreliable. It can be a much faster ride than the right, shooting riders down a quicker pipe barrel. Surfline says the left is "a short-lived explosion of hell and spitfire."[4]
Jeff Clark had grown up in Half Moon Bay, watching Mavericks from Half Moon Bay High School and Pillar Point. At that time the location was thought too dangerous to surf. He conceived the possibility of riding Hawaii-sized waves in Northern California. In 1975 at age 17 and with the waves topping out at 20–24 feet (6.1–7.3 m), Clark paddled out alone to face the break. He caught multiple left-breaking waves, thereby becoming the first documented person to tackle Mavericks head-on.
Other than a few of Clark's friends who had paddled out and saw Mavericks themselves, no big wave surfers believed in its existence. Popular opinion held that there simply were no large waves in California.[5]
Dave Schmidt (brother of big wave legend Richard Schmidt) and Tom Powers, both from Santa Cruz were two of the next people to surf at Mavericks, surfing with Clark on January 22, 1990. John Raymond, from Pacifica, Johathan Galili, from Tel Aviv and Mark Renneker, from San Francisco, surfed Mavericks a few days later.
In 1990, a photo of Mavericks taken by Clark's friend Steve Tadin was published in Surfer magazine. This triggered interest in Mavericks. More photos of Mavericks appeared in surfing magazines and before long, filmmaker Gary Mederios released a movie, Waves of Adventure in the Red Triangle. As news of Mavericks spread, many big-wave surfers came and surfed there.
The next major event occurred on December 23, 1994. During a week of huge swells Mark Foo, Ken Bradshaw, Brock Little, Mike Parsons, and Evan Slater arrived. This was a major event in Mavericks history – for notable Hawaiian big-wave riders to make the pilgrimage. The occasion is remembered for Mark Foo's death while surfing Mavericks.[5]
Foo's fatal ride occurred in late morning of the first day (December 23, 1994) of riding when on a late takeoff into an 18-foot (5.5 m) wave, Foo caught the edge of his surfboard on the surface and fell forward into a wipe out near the bottom of the wave. It was not until a few hours later that a fellow surfer was travelling back to shore on a boat that he noticed what appeared to be a body in the water. It was then realised to be Mark Foo. There was little sign of struggle with the only injury being a small cut on his forehead. Many believe when he came down he had knocked the wind out of himself and was then tied down by his leash due to the hazardous rocks that can be seen at Mavericks. News of Foo's death traveled quickly to the far reaches of the surfing sport around the globe. The accident gave Mavericks new notoriety and prompted the formation of the Mavericks Water Patrol by Frank Quirarte and Clark.[5]
In the surfing sport, Mark Foo's death triggered a continuing discourse regarding the safe use on extreme waves of surfboard leashes. Many believed that Foo's surfboard leash may have contributed to his death.[6] Leash proponents defend it as a useful convenience and as insurance against losing the surfboard, a form of flotation device, a means for a fallen surfer to find the surface by following the leash cord to the buoyant board. Opponents argue that a leash can cause the rider to collide with his board in a wipe out and that the leash can also loop around the surfer's arms, legs or the neck when underwater. Quick-release velcro leashes have since become standard surfing equipment to address some of these risks.[5]
Sion Milosky, an accomplished big-wave surfer, died at Mavericks on March 16, 2011. Milosky, 35, of Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii, apparently drowned after enduring a two-wave hold down around 6:30 PM. Twenty minutes after the incident, Nathan Fletcher found Milosky's body floating at the Pillar Point Harbor mouth.
Milosky had been named the North Shore Underground Surfer of the Year in February 2011. He used some of his $25,000 prize[7] to travel to Half Moon Bay to catch one of the last big swells of the season at Mavericks.
The first surfing contest at Mavericks was held in 1999. Darryl Virostko ("Flea"), Richard Schmidt (surfer), Ross Clarke-Jones and Peter Mel took first, second, third and fourth places, respectively. The following year put Virostko, Kelly Slater, Tony Ray, Peter Mel, Zach Wormhoudt, and Matt Ambrose in first through sixth places. In 2004, Virostko, Ambrose, Evan Slater, Anthony Tashnick, Mel and Grant Washburn placed in spots first through sixth. Tashnick came first in 2005. In 2006, Grant Baker, from South Africa, won first place, with Tyler Smith and Brock Little in second and third. The 2007 contest was called off because unusually mild weather resulted in no days with suitable waves by the end of March, the usual cutoff time for holding the competition. In 2008, Greg Long was crowned Mavericks Champion, Baker won second and Jamie Sterling won third place, followed by Smith in fourth, Washburn in fifth and Evan Slater in sixth. The contest was canceled again in 2009.[8] In 2010 South Africa's Chris Bertish took first place; winning the largest[citation needed] surfing prize purse US$150 000, sponsored by Moose Guen, Jane Sunderland and Barracuda Networks.
For future competition Mvision Private Equity advisors are sponsoring the prize "ten for ten" which is US$10,000 for the best ride.
AT&T Park in San Francisco hosts live broadcasts of the event on its giant (110 foot wide) video display.[9]
In October 2006, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary proposed barring personal watercraft from Mavericks, which led to disputes within the sport.[10]
In the fall of 2010 a group of surfers, community leaders and contest organizers formed the Half Moon Bay Surf Group, Inc., with the aim of controlling the contest. In October, the San Mateo Harbor Commission granted them the permit and official planning of the inaugural "The Jay at Maverick's Big Wave Invitational"[11] began.[12] Competitors for the first "The Jay at Maverick's Big Wave Invitational" included 11-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater and 23 others.[13]
The first videos were shot by Eric W. Nelson in February 1990, catching Clark, Schmidt and Powers. Eric was shooting for his community access television show "Powerlines Surf-Spots". This was the origin of the Powerlines Productions company that showcases big wave surfing around the world.
Nelson's first film was High Noon at Low Tide 1994/1995. In 1998 he produced another big wave documentary Twenty Feet Under. Local filmmaker Curt Myers, produced Shifting Peaks and Heavy Water 1994/1995.
On December 11, 1998, they combined their efforts and produced the mini documentary twelveleven.
Clark and Mavericks are featured in the 1998 documentary Mavericks, a one hour PBS film that chronicles the early years, and the 2004 film Riding Giants, which documents the history of big wave surfing. Directed by skateboarder turned documentary producer Stacy Peralta (best known for the skating documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys), Riding Giants includes interviews and commentary materials with many of the surfers mentioned in this article.
In the film Zoolander, Owen Wilson's character's entourage includes a big wave surfer from Mavericks.
The surfing documentary film, "Discovering Mavericks" executive produced by Jeff Clark and directed by Joshua Pomer tells the true story of Mavericks. Discovering Mavericks captures the passion and dedication of surfers like Jeff Clark, Peter Mel, Flea, Shane Dorian, Nick Lamb, Zack Wormhout, Brock Little and Mike Parsons. This film also honors the sacrifice of men like Mark Foo, Jay Moriarty and others who dared to take on the unforgiving waves at Mavericks.This is their true story.
Chasing Mavericks, a 2012 biopic about Mavericks surfer Jay Moriarity, starred Gerard Butler as Frosty Hesson, Abigail Spencer as Brenda Hesson, Frosty's wife. Jonny Weston as Jay Moriarity, Elisabeth Shue as Christy Moriarity and Leven Rambin as Kim Moriarity. Maya Rains plays Roque Hesson, while Patrick and Asher Tesler (twins) portray Lake, son of Frosty and Brenda. Moriarty's spectacular wipeout in 1994 had landed the 16-year-old surfer in the pages of the New York Times and on the cover of Surfer Magazine. On December 19, 2011, film star Butler survived a near-death accident, pounded by 12–16 foot waves. Butler was held underwater for several waves and dragged through rocks until rescued by a safety worker on a jet ski.[14] According to eyeforfilm.co.uk, "Butler was knocked off his board by a freak wave. He was trapped underwater as two more waves went over him, and witnesses say he took the force of four or five waves to the head. He was also dragged through rocks before rescuers managed to reach him and get him to the shore. Butler was conscious when pulled from the water and has spent the next sixteen hours in Stanford Medical Center."[15][16]
A memoir, "Making Mavericks" by Frosty Hesson with Ian Spiegelman, was released by Zola Books in October 2012. The book recounts Hesson's time as one of the first to conquer the massive break at Mavericks and his mentoring of Moriarity.
On June 10, 2013, at its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced that the latest version of its Mac operating system OS X (version 10.9) would be entitled Mavericks. Apple said their new operating software generations would be named after places in California that have inspired them.[17]

Cancer researcher-turned-billionaire forms new medical firmFebruary 3, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
NEW YORK -- Patrick Soon-Shiong, a physician who founded and sold two drug companies to become Los Angeles's wealthiest resident, is starting a new company with the goal of changing the way cancer is attacked.
Called NantOmics, the company will build on the knowledge that Soon-Shiong, 60, said he gained from Abraxane, the cancer treatment he developed and sold to Celgene Corp. in 2010 for $2.9 billion. The medicine wraps a chemotherapy in a human protein called albumin that aims to more efficiently ferry cancer-killing agents to their target.
Dr. Celgene reported late last month that the drug helped patients with advanced pancreatic cancer live a median 1.8 months longer than a standard treatment, a benefit for people battling one of the deadliest cancers. Dr. Soon-Shiong said he wants to extend that benefit by combining new diagnostic technologies and therapeutic strategies to improve care.
"It took 23 years from Abraxane being conceived to us showing now with conclusiveness that it works in pancreatic cancer," Dr. Soon-Shiong said by phone. "We cannot afford as a society to wait another 23 years to make sure that the patients get the right care, at the right time, at the right place."
Since selling his company, Abraxis BioScience, to Summit, N.J.-based Celgene in 2010, Dr. Soon-Shiong has branched into other endeavors. He bought a stake in the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers from star player Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and is pursuing purchase of Anschutz Entertainment Group, owner of the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Dr. Soon-Shiong was listed in May 2012 as the wealthiest Los Angeles resident by the Los Angeles Business Journal, topping businessman Eli Broad and director Steven Spielberg. Dr. Soon-Shiong has a net worth of $7.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Dr. Soon-Shiong's latest move returns him to his roots in medicine. NantOmics, funded primarily by Dr. Soon-Shiong's California Capital Equity fund, seeks to develop medicines called kinase inhibitors that target multiple proteins to combat cancer in combination with Abraxane and other drugs. The strategy addresses the ideas that cancer spreads in reaction to attempts to kill it, and that it can mutate several times from when it first appears.
"What we discovered, counter-intuitively, is that when you start killing a cancer cell, one of the things it does in order to survive is to spread even further," Dr. Soon-Shiong said. "It causes itself to form new blood vessels. We've termed this reactionary angiogenesis."
To combat that effect, Dr. Soon-Shiong and colleagues have tried combining Abraxane and chemotherapies with Roche Holding's Avastin, an anti-angiogenesis drug that tries to block the new blood vessels formed by tumors to feed themselves. The combination is designed to feed the tumor poison, starve it of its blood supply and prevent its spread.
They have treated 40 pancreatic cancer patients with the regimen, which combines 5-FU, or fluorouracil, a chemotherapy; cancer drugs leucovorin and oxaliplatin; Abraxane; and Avastin, Dr. Soon-Shiong said. An analysis of those cases showed 87 percent were alive at 12 months, with a median overall survival of 18 months, he said.
Forty patients is a small sample, and Dr. Soon-Shiong said it's important that the theory be proved in larger studies across multiple sites run by multiple oncology organizations.
NantOmics will join another of Dr. Soon-Shiong's companies, called NantHealth, under the umbrella of a larger organization called NantWorks that brings together supercomputing, semiconductor technology and advancements in voice and object recognition. The "Nant" name has its roots in Native American culture, in which "Nantan" means "he who speaks for the people," Dr. Soon-Shiong said.
The health firms will be "next-generation pharma companies" that use NantWorks technology to better track and profile patients' cancer and develop new treatments, he said.
Dr. Soon-Shiong's goal is to bring multiple new therapies into human testing this year and next year, based on concepts he has observed since developing Abraxane in the 1990s, he said.
"We realized that by driving more drug into the innards of the tumor, you would be able to kill the tumor faster than anybody could," said Dr. Soon-Shiong, who was on the faculty of the University of California Los Angeles's Medical School from 1983 until he left to pursue drug development. "If this was true, this would work for breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, bladder cancer, cervical cancer. That's what we set out to prove."
Abraxane is now approved for non small-cell lung cancer in addition to breast cancer, and Celgene said it plans to apply for approval in pancreatic cancer this year. The drug also is being tested in metastatic melanoma and other cancers. Abraxane may become a blockbuster for Celgene, drawing $1.7 billion in peak worldwide sales, estimated Robyn Karnauskas, an analyst with Deutsche Bank. It drew $427 million in 2012 revenue.
Celgene's shares jumped 5.8 percent Nov. 12 after the company reported that its pancreatic cancer trial had met study goals. The stock declined less than 1 percent to $98.95 at the close in New York. The shares have gained 35 percent in the last 12 months.
In advanced pancreatic cancer, Celgene tested Abraxane on top of the chemotherapy gemcitabine, and showed last month that the combination helped patients live a median of 8.5 months, compared with 6.7 months for gemcitabine alone. In the 861-person trial, 35 percent of patients taking Abraxane plus gemcitabine lived to one year, compared with 22 percent on gemcitabine alone. One patient treated with the Abraxane, Avastin and chemotherapy regimen is in remission more than six years after her diagnosis, beating the odds of the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
Diane Ronnau, a Los Angeles-based producer for the CBS Evening News, was a 44-year-old mother of two when her doctor found a mass on her pancreas. She had a complicated surgery and started chemotherapy, only for the cancer to return on her liver just more than a year later. "It was the most frightening diagnosis ever," she said of being told she had pancreatic cancer. "I thought that I would not make it to see my children have their 10th birthday. You immediately start thinking, 'How much longer do I have?' "
When her cancer returned, Ms. Ronnau's doctor added Abraxane to her regimen. After about six weeks, Ms. Ronnau said she saw signs of improvement. She continued the therapy for another three years, stopping last June before her 51st birthday. Her doctors now see no evidence of cancer. While the drug took a toll on her white blood cell count, forcing her to take another medicine, she said she is now back to normal.
Dr. Soon-Shiong said his company will aim to apply the principles that may have helped Ms. Ronnau and add another strategy: addressing cancer's polyclonality, or its tendency to harbor multiple mutations simultaneously. He plans to use NantWorks' technology to screen patients' genomes to understand what form their cancer has taken, and develop multi-targeted kinase inhibitors to attack it.
The therapies will be targeted toward a cancer's underlying pathway, rather than where it arises in the body, Dr. Soon-Shiong said, noting a breast cancer patient may benefit from a drug used in colon cancer, for example.
NantOmics has a library of kinase inhibitors to draw from that Dr. Soon-Shiong bought back from Celgene when he sold Abraxis, he said. The unit, called Abraxis Health, formed the basis of NantOmics and NantHealth. He said those companies may pursue initial public offerings "when the technology is ready."
"We're really going after truly creating sustainability of a disease-free state," Dr. Soon-Shiong said, "creating a complete system for managing cancer patients for life, so that you can manage from onset of disease all the way through."science

"Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints."There are many ideas associated with snow: Tranquility, purity, cleanliness, beauty... So naturally, many people are shown dramatically dying in the snow. It may have something to do with how red blood contrasts so sharply with white snow, especially when gentle snowflakes are falling around a scene of carnage. It may have something to do with the way the snow seems to try washing away the unclean corpses and ruins. It may have something to do with how it looks like a beautiful and peaceful way to die, just letting the cold embrace you as you fall asleep. It may have something to do with how snow melts on living bodies, but coats those that have passed on. And then there's the symbolism. As beautiful as snow is, it also signifies winter, associated with the death of the year (in the temperate latitudes at least), the death of crops, and the death of the sun. Snow also covers the world with a blanket of white, and in Eastern cultures, white is the color of death (as it was until a few hundred years ago in Slavic states as well). Whatever the reason, using snow is a great way to portray a character on the verge of dying or a place torn by war in a very artful manner. A sub-trope of Empathic Environment. For a different interpretation of snow, see Snow Means Love. See White Shirt of Death and Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress for a similar trope, only applied to clothing instead. May or may not be related to Grim Up North. Not to be confused with Snowy Screen of Death.

Cron Job Question - No Code
I have a question about Cron Jobs that I haven't been able to find the answer too anywhere. Is there anyway to distinguish a cron job and user from accessing my script? Like is there a way to identify if my server is reading the script or if a user is and depending on which perform a separate action? I thought of using IP's, but I don't know if a cron job has one... if that makes any sense.
BAsically I want the script to redirect users elsewhere, but allow the cron job to run the script. I know I could just place the script where a user can't access it, but I want to see if my distinguishing method is possible.
Any idea's?

if your cron job points to a script you can define something in that script, I normally...
in any scripts if they are being run from cron, you could just as easily define a variable in a shell script, else check for $_SERVER vars which will not exist if its a cron/cgi jobPHP Code:

Rep. Wright is accused of dishonestly as a politician. Many voters do not feel that Wright has fairly represented them. Many would think twice about trusting him with public funds. What guess what? He's not the lone ranger. I am not defending Rep. Wright in any way. I am only saying that many politicians are not honest leaders. Their hands find many ingenious ways into the tax fund cookie jar. Yes, isn't it fun to join the mob, and kick 'em when they're down. It is a much harder to lead the voters in weeding out the weeds!

IPhone -Look, Ma, iPod Can Do VoIP!
Rich Tehrani
President and Editor-in-Chief
At the most recent Apple (
) launch event,
Steve Jobs
gave a less than earth-shattering
where it seems the news of his health was more interesting to most reporters than the products being rolled out. Having said that, there was apparently huge news unveiled at the show if you are a VoIP-head like me: the new iPod can do VoIP because it has an extra
connected to the headphone jack.
Back in 1994, I
INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine
would come out with something called a VoIPod. Well, I got the name wrong but the concept is still the same: the new iPods can do VoIP which means there is a chance these devices will become primary phones for college students and others who are in areas where there is ubiquitous WiFi (
Another application for this, of course, is in corporations where iPods could become primary phones for workers. I know of no companies currently considering doing this but the price of an iPod Touch, at $229, is close to what you would pay for an IP phone and may give similar functionality based on software which is likely being worked on by PBX (
) vendors as you read this.
In addition, consider that for a few dollars more than the cost of a desk phone you can have a device that is wireless and becomes a selling point when looking to attract top talent (usually younger workers) to your organization.
Sure there is potential for abuse and subsidizing the music-listening and video-game playing habits of employees but in reality everyone probably has their own music and game playing device in their pockets already.
If businesses do adopt this pocket computer masquerading as a music player as a communications device — and it does make sense that they should when you consider the Touch is also a fully functioning browser and email device — this will be an entirely new market for Apple to derive revenue from.
If Apple isn't considering the ramifications of adding this single wire to their iPods, they certainly should. I would imagine PBX vendors will trip over one another to be partnered in any way possible with Apple.
I look forward to discussing the iPod as business phone next week with the industry at
in Los Angeles.

I went though this ~2 years ago. Went to a music shop with 3 CDs that I
know very well (Eroica|Beethoven/Karajan: dynamics, Abbey-Road|Beatles:
amazing '69 mix, African Space Craft|Keziah Jones: bass&compression) and
listened to
- Mackie MKII 824 (out of budget but nice reference)
- KRK Rokit 8
- Behringer Truth 2031A
- some Alesis model - don't remember
the last three were all ~300 euros per speaker.
I eventually bought on the Behringer; they were the closest to the
Mackie speakers. The KRK were rather bass heavy (may be OK for a small
studio where you listen very softly - but not suitable to put them in a
corner of a room or close to a wall where bass reflects even more) and
the Alesis just sounded crap even without comparison.
I'd have loved to listen to Genelec 8030 as comparison - Behringer
copies their design, but they were not in stock. There's lot of talk
that the Behringer are /only/ a cheper knock off.. I dunno if it's true
and, well, they work for me.
for $1000 (US) you may be able to get a pair of Machie HR624MKII which
I'd recommend even though half of the money is "just for the name".

I've been looking at converting the APPLET element to OBJECT and it seems quite difficult to do it properly. Sun Microsystems has a program that will do this but the result is very messy. Information is available at their site: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/tags.html For example, this APPLET: <APPLET code="XYZApp.class" codebase="html/" align="baseline" width="200" height="200"> <PARAM NAME="model" VALUE="models/HyaluronicAcid.xyz"> No Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v 1.3 support for APPLET!! </APPLET> - will be converted to about 50 lines of HTML that includes Java script. The resulting HTML still needs the original APPLET element to run under the Macintosh OS. Has anyone seen a clear simple method of converting APPLET to OBJECT?
