Taylor Lautner on Being the Next Tom Cruise: It's 'Intimidating'
Can't give away any spoilers, but trust us, Abduction is a must see! Taylor Lautner stars in the action packed film, and proves those Tom Cruise comparisons are not off base. Celebuzz caught up with Taylor at the Abduction junket on Friday, and asked what he thinks of the comparisons.
"It's a little intimidating," Lautner told us, smiling. "I mean Tom Cruise is probably number one on my list and always has been. I've looked up to him since I was really young."
"I think the biggest reason I've looked up to him is just his career choices," continued Taylor. "He's always continued to challenge himself and to do different things, from Risky Business, to Top Gun, to Jerry Maguire, to Born on the Fourth of July. The variety in those roles and genres is absolutely insane."
"That's what I admire about him the most. That's my goal- to be able to challenge myself like he did. If I end up with a tenth of the career that guy is had I'll be completely happy," finished T.
So has he met Cruise?
"The first time I met [Tom] he was in his Les Grossman outfit," Lautner told reporters. "We filmed this thing for the opening of the MTV Movie Awards a few years ago. It was kind of weird for me to meet my idol Tom Cruise when he's bald, and in this giant fat suit. It was kind of weird!"
Still, even as Les Grossman, Taylor said he admired Tom.
"I had the time of my life with SNL where I got to dress up as a girl, and like dress up as this foreign blond popstar," laughed Lautner. "Playing these weird roles like he did with that, I have a lot of fun doing that."
As for what Taylor's next film project will be, he said he will be deciding between a couple things very soon. .
In the meantime check out Lautner kick some ass in Abduction, out September 23.

I have heard that hula hooping is a way to work the midsection. sounds intruiging, but has anyone tried it?
Exercise! - has anyone tried hula hooping for excersize?View Full Version : has anyone tried hula hooping for excersize? eroica27 01-03-2010, 06:26 PM I have heard that hula hooping is a way to work the midsection. sounds intruiging, but has anyone tried it? cathydoe 01-03-2010, 06:59 PM No I haven't, but I saw it on a Wii fit program...it actually looked fun... you didn't have a hoola hoop...you just pretended. That would be great 4 me... cuz I think I would spend more time bending over and picking up the hoop, but then that is good too! eroica27 01-03-2010, 07:36 PM ive seen some women that look very cool doing hula hooping. a few of the reviews i've seen said that the hoop is different from the childs toy hoop and is a little easier, which sounds promising because i too would spend time picking the hoop up off the ground. :) i'm looking for all of the info i can find (without it ending in a sales pitch) before shelling out money. patchworkpenguin 01-03-2010, 08:24 PM My stylist told me she took up hula hooping. She started at 15min {one half clockwise the other counter-clock wise} and worked her way up to 30 min {15 each way} I don't know how often she did it, however she told me she lost a inch on her waist. She's proabably a size 8-10 to begin with. Hope that helps TIARA 01-03-2010, 08:28 PM i do it on the wii fit plus.. Lets just say it looks easy and not hard to do but after i do it for 10 min i can feel the burn in my thighs.. i love it.. but i can only do 10 min then i gotta rest awhile before i do more of it.. Talina 01-06-2010, 03:01 PM I made myself an 'adult hoop.' I haven't done it consistently for exercise. I just grab it from time to time and have fun. I'd like to work with it more, when the weather permits, and learn some fun moves. You can't target zones to lose weight, but you definitely can tone up your stomach/core muscles by hooping. I can really feel it working things. I have a 'kid's hula hoop' as well. I have many friends that have tried the kid's then the adult and the difference is amazing. They go from it instantly falling to being able to at least hoop a little with no practice. The only cost is buying materials to make your own hoop, or to buy one from online. You can find free instructional videos online that teach moves/tricks if you want to go beyond just going around your waist. There are a few out there that can be bought, but I haven't found the need to yet. The hoops do weight a few lbs. I have no clue how much, but when I first start I do get some small bruises on my waist/hips. Then my body gets used to it. This is a great tutorial that I used for making your own hoop. (http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.html) It's a great project to grab a friend or two and make them together. I love being able to decorate my hoop to match my personality. If anyone has questions feel free to ask. ToriLeigh 01-06-2010, 10:48 PM I also do it on the wii fit plus. It's kind of fun, my 2 year old stands next to me and shakes her little butt. I didn't think it would be exercise, but I work up a sweat if I do it a couple times. llmw1951 05-11-2010, 06:04 PM I did it for a month. I did lose an inch off my waist. I Just fell back into not exercising. Need to get started back. My hoop is a 3 Lb. weighted hoop. It will make you sore the first few days, but if you'll just stay with it the soreness will quickly go away. greenfishgirl 05-12-2010, 06:13 PM I hula hoop. You definately need an adult hoop - they are weighted so they actually stay up and provide an excellent butt, hip, inner & outer thigh and torso workout! Wii fit hooping is fun and provides a good cardio workout, but the weighted hoop makes it soooo much better! I never could, and still can't keep a "grocery store" hoop up, but the wieghted adult ones are awesome! cathyo 01-14-2011, 06:02 PM I just ordered a 2 lb weighted hoop and can't wait for it to get here! I figure it might be a little difficult at first but plan on doing it in 10 -15 min increments while watching my soap opera or tv at night instead of just sitting there. It looks like more fun than doing crunches...lol aasshhlleeyy 01-14-2011, 06:10 PM I was never even able to hula hoop when I was a kid... lol hmm wonder if I could do it now? It sounds like fun and thinking about the motions you have togo through I could deffenitely see how its a great workout lauralyn 01-15-2011, 08:08 AM I was hula hooping a bit ago and was aiming for 30 plus minutes a day. After 2-3 weeks with no change I gave up. Talina 02-02-2011, 04:40 PM I haven't been on these forums since the hula hoop took over in June. I feel I should give a bit of an update. It's the only exercise I really get besides going out and dancing a little once a week. Now a days it's very common for me to crank up the music and play with my hoop for an hour+. There is so much more that can be done besides just the waist. It moves all over my body. People that see me are usually in awe that I actually dance with it. My entire body gets into it so I get a full body work out. It's mostly cardio, but I've gained muscle places I didn't expect. My arms and calves now have visible muscle like I've never had in my life! On top of that my abs are getting very firm. I still have the squishy fat on the outer layer, but I'm amazed at how much the layer underneath has tightened up. I'm not the kind of girl that can visible see the difference of 15 pounds, so I didn't notice anything until multiple guy friends started commenting that I was losing weight and toning up. I'm not saying this could happen for everyone. I actually dislike viewing the hoop as a tool to keep me in shape. To me it's just a hobby. I'm horrible about keeping an exercise routine. The reason it's worked for me is that I hoop so much because it's fun. I see it as playing. The moment it starts to feel like work I will lose interest. If I just hooped for 5 minutes every few days I doubt I'd see any difference. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

ok. now running on my laptop at 64x4 w/o xruns but at very low load.
for the measurements, i'm running off the battery to avoid hum issues,
but plugging it did not make any noticeable difference to me.
gigaport hd+ connected to a micstasy line in at normal Z (5.6kOhm
unbalanced) with a crappy rca to jack cable.
i chose 21.0dB amplification, because that should correspond to 0dBu at
full scale. indeed, it makes a -1.0dBFS sine wave from the gigaport come
out at roughly -14dBFS on the hdspm, which is what i'd expect going from
consumer (-10dBV) to pro equipment (+4dBu).
jnoisemeter reports -88.4 dB in flat mode with DC filter and slow
averaging response.
now if i feed it a white noise signal from JAAA at -1.0dBFS, the other
end reports a flat noise level of -13.1 dB, which as a rough guesstimate
gives us about 70dB of usable dynamic range. not great, but ok.
the -1.0dbFS sine tone at 1kHz shows a first harmonic at -95dB, and the
upper harmonics barely show in the noise, so we're fine here.
however, there is a thumping DC impulse every few seconds which clearly
shows up on the scope. it's clearly audible, not a show stopper, but
needs looking into. it's signal-dependent: when you don't generate a
sine-wave, it stops. complex signals either don't cause it or mask it
completely. might be a power issue. here's what it looks like (peak hold
and freeze, imagine this as a transient):
a white noise steady-state spectrum shows a slight raise of 2.5dB around
6khz, and another hefty boost of 3.5dB around 14khz.
so much for a quick run-through. if you want specific measurements or
have a pointer to proper measurement techniques, let me know.

What Guys Really Think Of Texting
Texting has become a popular way to communicate among singles. People like it because it's a quick means of communicating details, and men usually prefer texting because it's easy to stay in touch without much effort. Texting is also a fun way to banter without picking up the phone. That's the upside.
The downside is when women mistake a man's frequent texting for real interest in them. So many of my dating coaching clients end up in these lengthy, enjoyable texting "relationships," thinking they are building a real connection with a man. Sadly, that is usually not the case.
The Four Types Of Texters To Beware
1. The Womanizing Texter. He's not ready to be exclusive, but seeks female attention. For this guy, texting is the perfect way to keep you—a woman—at arm's length. In this case, texting is his low commitment way to stay in touch. In fact, a man can actually be texting several women on a regular basis. It helps him feel more desirable and like a hot commodity. Texting provides a great ego boost as the arrival tone alerts everyone in hearing distance of his popularity.
2. The Cheating Texter. He seems to be romantically interested in you ... even though he's in a relationship. Many experts refer to such relationships as emotional cheating: when a man who has a wife or live-in girlfriend creates an emotionally close bond with another woman via texting. This way, he isn't physically cheating, just flirting with other women. Obviously, you wouldn't want your man engaging other women this way.
3. The Needy Texter. This guy might text you all day. He wants your attention and needs your help. He'll either appeal to your nurturing side or just text little things all day to stay in touch. At first it might be fun, but it can wear you down and become pretty darn annoying, especially when you'd prefer a face-to-face date. Keep reading...

Disney's Animal Kingdom LodgePrice level: Deluxe
Published: October 23, 2014 The Lodge offers deluxe guestrooms with African-inspired decor and modern amenities, such as high-speed Internet access, coupled with views of exotic animals roaming the Animal's Kingdom's savannahs. Spa services and recreational activities are also available at this full-service resort, a multiple winner of Theme Park Insider's Award for World's Best Theme Park Hotel.
From the moment we stepped foot in this hotel to eat at Jiko, I knew we would have to return for an overnight stay. This hotel has majesty and story woven into all aspects of its design. The food here is excellent, the views of the savannah offer a unique feature, and the decor is gorgeous.
This is our favorite hotel. Just sitting on the balconies and watching the animals is worth the cost. The rooms are average size but well appointed. I can't get my family to stay anywhere else.
I was there during the EPCOT food and wine festival. Our room only had two drawers. We were there for 5 days, and had nowhere to put our clothes! The bus experience was horrible. We knew that the only transportation was by bus, but it was not magical. I am not sure what I was expecting, but I was disappointed by the ride. The animals were nice to see, but I would not plan on staying here more than one night.
Not the Disney attitude I trained nor grew up with and defenitely not a good start to an upcoming vacation in September! My wife has spent hours of research, over several months, and all the other preparations necessary for that once in a lifetime "Magical" family vacation" to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Reservations confirmed so airline tickets were purchased, rental car booked and paid for. All that was left was for the upcoming date for it all to begin...... Until yesterday when my wife opened a letter from Walt Disney World Resort Guest Services stating that due to some specific issues the resort has with two (2) of the refrigerator models in their guest rooms that the decision was made to disconnect them from the affected rooms and are awaiting replacements. They apologize for any inconvenience and furnished a telephone number for any to call. We immediately called to inquire if our reserved room with the Savannah view was affected because a kitchenette is incomplete without a refrigerator and we couldn't afford their meal option plan for our entire family. The young man that answered was extremely unhelpful and made us feel as if we should understand that it is what it is. He wouldn't or couldn't offer any solutions nor guarantees that we would, at the very least, be taken care of other than to mention that there is an extremely large refrigerator in some restaurant if needed, as if we could go in and out of their kitchen with out groceries. What kind of customer service professional says this? When my wife asked to speak to a supervisor or manager she would be placed on hold only to have him come back on and say there wasn't anything he could do.This isn't the Disney vacation that we've dreamed of and saved our hard earned money for over a year. We invested quite a bit on passes to the parks and who knows if we can afford to fly cross country again. Anyway, we hung up with no resolution to what would have appeared to be such an easy fix. Compensate for the inability to use a key ingredient in the rental of those rooms. Imagine if the beds weren't available but our room had an excellent view and there were comfortable sofa's in the lobby. . I know my 7 year old wont notice the obvious stress my wife and i are now going through and he will, undoubtedly, have a great time but I cant say the same for my wife and I. It, quite suddenly and dramatically, doesn't feel like a vacation any longer. The Happiest Place on Earth just lost some of its luster for me. Guess we don't have too much choice but to "wait and see" as the person on the other end of the phone alluded to
Although the location is not perfect, we thought the bus service (18 minutes to go to MK) was fast and excellent. The resort is beautiful, great ambiance. We loved it.

For those who don't know, it has been announced that there will be DLC for Resident Evil 5, however along with the announcement also announced is that it will cost, this usually wouldn't be a problem, paying for DLC has become the norm, especially in this current generation, however the DLC here is whole multiplayer modes which arguably should be on the disc when you brought the game.
One of the main reasons I think Capcom would charge for multiplayer would be the rise in trade-ins, if someone buys their game 2 hand then, Capcom do not get a penny for it, so I can see this as a way to make money from those who buy the game 2 hand.
The other thing is that you are paying for multiplayer in a Resident Evil game, this would be a completely different story if it was a game like Call of Duty (and I hope to god that this isn't giving Activision any ideas) if you take the multiplayer out of a Call of Duty then you are left with a 8-10 hour single player campaign of a first person shooter which lets be honest they never have the best of campaigns, I'm not saying that the single player in Call of Duty games is bad, it's just not up there with the best single player games and is definitely not worth a full price game, the main reason I buy and play Call of Duty games is for the multiplayer. But take the multiplayer away from a Resident Evil game, then you are left with a Resident Evil game, and that's not a bad thing at all, in fact Resident Evil 4 is one of my favourite games of all time.
Despite all the points I made above I still can't help but feel that this should be included on the disc, however as the trade-in business becomes even bigger then I can see more publishers going down this route or a route similar to this. Also I think that had Capcom announced this a couple of weeks later after release, instead of the same week as release, this would not have been a big of a problem. Also if you are paying full price for a new game then look online, gameplay.co.uk had it for £30 add the 400 ms points £3.40 and you are still paying less than you would for a normal full price game, and I'm sure it's the same in America, that there are online store that won't charge the full $60.
Ultimately I am unsure about whether I am going to buy it yet, I want to play though the game first and see more coverage of the multiplayer modes. But do think people need to take in to account this is a Resident Evil game and not just another bog standard FPS.

Member of an irregular military force fighting small-scale, fast-moving actions, usually in concert with an overall political-military strategy, against conventional military and police forces. Guerrilla tactics involve constantly shifting attacks, sabotage, and terrorism. The word (the diminutive of the Spanish guerra, war) was first used to describe Spanish-Portuguese irregulars who helped drive Napoleon's French army from the Iberian Peninsula in the early 19th century. The strategy of the guerrilla is to wear down the enemy until he can be defeated in conventional battle or to subject him to so much military and political pressure that he sues for peace. The Chinese general Sunzi (5th century BC) was one of the first to write down the theories of guerrilla warfare.

Her outfit is supposed to be black and red, not purple and red. So why is the wig blue and red and why are the boots purple and red? Is the outfit purple and red or is it going to be the only thing in this set that is black and red? There aren't any pictures of the actual cosplay outfit.

Dark Moon composed by Filippo Ledda. For Concert band. Original Work. Grade 2.5. Score and set of parts. Duration 5:00. Published by Scomegna Edizioni Musical srl (S4.ESB1181).
In a cold winter night, the wind violently shakes trees and dark clouds hide the moon. Thousands of thoughts crowd into a child's mind when he tries to fall asleep. Darkness makes his bedroom seem a different place, almost a dangerous place, where dangers hide behind every corner. Every little sound catches the child's attention and makes him trouble. He is afraid of things he cannot see and even the shadow of the most harmless object in the room makes him scared. He lays still in his bed, his face under the blanket. He tries to drive troubles away thinking about the good moments spent during the day, but as soon as he starts calming down, a little buzz takes him back to the darkness of his room. Will he manage to fall asleep? To write this composition, the author used the theme of a French popular song Au Clair de la Lune. He distorted it in a hexatonic scale and created an harmonic context which can be defined grotesque and oneiric at the same time. Drums thumping rhythm, the clusters and the vocal effects aim to reproduce the fear which overcomes the child's mind. On the other hand, the original theme, cantabile and clearly contrasting, which is repeated throughout the composition, symbolizes the search for serenity. Dark Moon is a swirl of moods and states of mind and even more. It is also an unusual lullaby inspired by little fears that everyone in every time has experienced, sometimes for no reason. All those fears can be exorcized and sooth as soon as you let yourself asleep.

(Updates with analyst comment from third paragraph.)
Jan. 5 (Bloomberg) -- European gasoline shipments to the U.S. are set to plunge 21 percent in the next two weeks, and the number of available ships for the route may almost double, a Bloomberg News survey showed.
Traders and oil companies booked or intend to book 19 vessels for loading to Jan. 19, according to the median estimate in a survey yesterday of six shipbrokers, one trader and one owner, who all specialize in shipping the auto fuel. Two weeks earlier, a total of 24 ships were hired to haul gasoline to the U.S. from Europe.
U.S. gasoline imports have fallen since the start of December, declining 11 percent to 734,000 barrels a day for the week ended Dec. 30, according to U.S. Department of Energy data. Unemployment in the U.S. and less gasoline buying during the winter months contributed to reduced demand for auto fuel shipments from Europe, according to Ehsan Ul-Haq, senior consultant at KBC Energy Economics in Walton-on-Thames, England.
"Demand for gasoline is related to the state of the economy, and unemployment is still high, so people are spending money on other things rather than travel," Ul-Haq said by phone today. "Seasonally, this is one of the weakest times for gasoline demand in the U.S."
U.S. gasoline demand tends to peak during the so-called driving season from the end of May to the first week of September. The number of people continuing to collect jobless benefits fell by 22,000 in the week ended Dec. 24 to 3.6 million, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
Atlantic Ocean Cargoes
There are 31 vessels likely to be available for shipping cargoes across the Atlantic Ocean, according to the survey. That's 94 percent more than the previous survey showed on Dec. 22. Daily returns on the Rotterdam-to-New York trade route retreated 23 percent since Dec. 23, sliding to $16,990 today, according to the London-based Baltic Exchange.
The ships, known in the industry as medium-range tankers, would be able to carry about 5.98 million barrels of gasoline, or 427,000 barrels a day, over the next two weeks. Of the vessels chartered or due to be hired, 11 have been booked and 8 more are likely to be arranged, the survey showed. That's 53 percent of the 809,000 barrels the U.S. imported daily over the past year, according to the Department of Energy.
The survey is based on so-called single-voyage, or spot, charters and excludes loadings under longer-term contracts. It assumes shipments to the U.S. East Coast from northwestern Europe. Each tanker would normally haul about 37,000 tons of gasoline, or 315,000 barrels.
The suspension of three Petroplus Holdings AG refineries may curb gasoline supplies in Europe, and reduce the number of shipments to the U.S., said Ul-Haq.
"Europe will need to keep some gasoline as Petroplus's refining capacity is reduced," said Ul-Haq.

I'd mod you up if I had the points. This whole debate reminded me of what I saw at the Apple store last weekend. The 13" MacBook Pro comes only with a glossy screen. The 15" model (which is targeted more at the likely PC Pro reader)? It comes in matte.
The Perfect Teammate? Good luck with that. (374 comments)
The problem is that people have fun playing with different types of people. For me, the underlying issue is that team-based games are frequently ruined by the constant issue of joining a team with a group of people who I'd rather be playing against than playing with.
Players rating other players based on fun is a good idea, IMHO. I'd rather they match teams based on such metrics (similar to how Netflix or Pandora decide what you may prefer in their offerrings), than to see a price incentive. Combining this with a system that matches teams for competitive play would help the fun factor immensely (particularly if you're an old fart like me with molasses reflexes).
Besides, Valve games, being episodic, have the price-to-fun ratio built in already to some extent (don't like it, don't buy the next episode). The initial cost is still prohibitive in some cases, and sale prices for old games help this somewhat (common on Steam).
Re:For most, system admin is a total waste of time (645 comments)
I sense and share in your frustration. I think the problem isn't that everyone is doing a crap job; rather, the problem is that it only takes a single person doing a crap job to bring a perfectly good machine down. Considering how many people have their code running on any given machine, it isn't surprising that crap gets on there.
Also, I think there's another hidden issue that comes into play, that being the task of designing a really intuitive API is also not easy. Abstraction is inherently imperfect and carries a subjective penalty in that the audience is teased into assuming they fully understand something they do not (or else there'd be no need for abstraction of course). The deeper down the rabbit hole this goes with higher and higher level abstractions, the more these penalties are manifested.
There's hope though... Resilient systems are not only possible, they've been built in many forms. While they may never be perfect, one should hope that they will eventually get out of the way.

Secure == Predicting the Future (225 comments)
Besides this being a very nice piece or work in Computer Science, it appears the point of this study is that in order for a software device to be considered "secure", it needs to stand up to exploits that have yet to be discovered at the time of release. This is, of course, seemingly impossible to do since undiscovered exploits are, well, undiscovered.
Return-oriented programming defeats security measures like DEP, but there are other measures that may be effective against attacks of this sort, such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Stack-Smashing Protection (SSP). Of course, these measures weren't yet invented when the voting machines were created according to the very best security practices of the time. The lesson is there can be no guarantee that employing the very best security measures we know today will stand up for the lifetime of a device. Very interesting implications...
Games That Children Play (160 comments)
I suggest you ask some children in your target audience what games they like to play (not strictly video games, all games). You might also take a walk down to the toy store and see what's there. Here are a few timeless examples that translate well in the video game medium:
...and all of these are of course more fun to play with friends and family.
All of these activities have intrinsic educational value. For science, I suspect Puzzle games would perhaps best develop problem-solving, experimentation, and observational skills. Just remember to make it fun.
Re:To be used in court cases how? (438 comments)
Interesting points...
I have to think that for matters of the law, the ability to "choose" or "free will" or not is not what is in question, but it is the "intention" of the person who committed the crime. The person who ate cereal intended to do so, just as the person who stabbed puppies. If it was not an accidental puppy stabbing, then they are morally culpable, whether they *could* have chosen otherwise or not. There is a subtle difference between "choice" and "intent", and both are all but impossible to judge of another person, but intent fits better with general moral beliefs that accidents are less evil than wrongdoings done on purpose.
On the other hand, if there truly is no free will, then the courts will do whatever they are programmed to do with the puppy stabbers regardless of what we discuss as "options"... that's kind of a depressing thought. *sigh*

Thought about this on the way home... I work in medical software, and HIPAA is not something to be taken lightly...
Consider this hypothetical situation... Di$neyCo's latest summer blockbuster High School Music Video bombs on reports of the lead actress Miss Starlet recieving an abortion at your client's clinic. Information was obtained through a violation of HIPAA. Miss Starlet's multi-million dollar contract for High School Music Video 2 was terminated. Now, Di$neyCo has an army of lawyers seeking damages for the bomb, Miss Starlet is represented pro bono by Publicity-Seeking-Leather-Fringe-Wearing-Super-Lawyer, the Physician has the finances to hire on a top personal lawyer, the Phyician's liability insurance carrier has several law firms hired on to divert liability, and Google has a legal army re-stating Google's "we don't claim compliance" statements. That leaves you in a serious predicament.
Companies that claim compliance have a number of things you probably don't have:

Three reasons:
Re:Depressing, but not uncommon (1251 comments)
be noticed and promoted is one big fat illusion more often than not kept alive by manipulative managers wanting to get extra free hours from us (so that THEY get fat bonuses)
The resentment of management is so thick in this forum you could cut it with a knife.
The mid-level manager gains from promoting successful people up the corporate ladder. Managers are graded on their ability to build an effective team and recruit/develop high performing talent. An effective manager knows to provide the top people with the tools and environment they need to do their best. While it is true that the promotion carrot is often dangled to push someone harder, only a lousy manager believes they can dangle carrots without coming through on their end. We have an engineer on the team right now who was told he'd get a promotion if he took the role of lead engineer on a recent project and succeeded. He worked hard, impressed his teammates with his skill and ethic, and earned the promotion. That is no illusion. He was given an opportunity and he took it.
You've observed that outgoing type A's get noticed and are promoted more frequently than technical experts. I do agree with this (to some extent) having seen that the road to "Staff Engineer" is longer than the road to "Engineering Manager". There are basically two career paths for engineers: technical and management. The technical path is ascended by demonstrating technical expertise, the ability to guide large scale projects from the technical side, and the ability to mentor less experienced engineers. The quiet and reserved person can and will ascend through this path by demonstrating their technical ability, and accomplishing this takes years of good work. A quiet and reserved person who is also skilled at mentoring young engineers is perhaps more promotable due to the high demand and greater contribution a mentor can bring to the organization. On the management path, outgoing individuals tend to be noticed more for their management potential. A large part of a manager's job is working with other managers and reporting to executives, the majority of which are themselves open and outgoing. Likewise, a successful manager needs to be able to effectively work with people of varied personalities, some of which reserved people find reprehensible. On a similar note, negotiating for pay also demonstrates a skill a manager needs to have. The manager is graded on their ability to negotiate to get the best value for the company and not having the ability to negotiate will hurt their chances of being successful managers. For these reasons, outgoing people shining a light on their work are showing skills of a different sort, and may be promotable based partly on that display which you regard as purely superficial.
When a person earns a senior technical position, it is reasonably certain that they will succeed in this appointment. They can succeed in these positions for many years and have great careers all the way up to retirement, all the while mentoring the next batch of experts. On the other hand, when a person earns a management position, there is no guarantee that they will succeed, and most of them will probably fail (perhaps by committing the ills you've indicated in your post). Then they will either leave or be canned, opening positions for the next batch of potential managers. This is one driving reason for outgoing people to be more frequently promoted.
My advice would be for a person to examine what it is they want out of their career. "Success" doesn't equate to happiness, and if you've sacrificed your personality in efforts to gain pay, you have little chance at happiness in your career. If you aren't going to claim credit for everything based on your principles and your personality, then by all means stick with your principles a go about quietly getting the job done. In a well-functioning organization, real accomplishments do not go unnoticed, and there will always be a place for unassuming technical experts.

4) How difficult is it to create a script that takes screenshots - how difficult is it to create a script that captures keyboard entry as well. Answer: the first can be done in userspace (and in the hands of an experienced script kiddie would be unnoticed), the latter usually has to go as a request to a driver, kernel or other layer that requires admin rights. This is true for Windows, Mac and (depending on your GUI) Linux
Old habits die hard (677 comments)
Excellent argument on the frustrating habits of culture... and well written too.
You could substitute nearly any area of study into this analysis, and find a great deal of truth in the result, and in this, The Lamenting Mathematician has uncovered a very subtle and elegant habit of culture. The fact is that there are a great many musical technicians, incapable of creating the art of music, just as there are a great many mathematical technicians, who will never contribute to The Masterpiece. Software, Politics, History, Leadership... All have their share of artists and technicians alike. The key element is that the cultural perception of mathematics is that there is no art; that it is but a technical discipline.
The truth is that all disciplines are both artistic and technical in nature, and that society would do well to discover this and promote this duality through education.
The first advanced math course I took in college consisted entirely of proofs and abstract discoveries such as described in the article, and it was eye-opening. The clever approaches and solutions discussed gave that intuitive appreciation... no less artful than capturing a feeling with a photograph or instilling instant familiarity with a speech.

The likelihood of breaking it is genuinely 1 in 2^n and can only be broken by brute force attack.
That's not strictly true. Although the discrete log problem is hard it is still a computational assumption. Proving that 2^n is a lower bound would be a significant achievement. This scheme is only "unbreakable" in the sense that RSA is - breaking it requires solving a problem that we suspect, but are unable to prove, is very hard.

Tigers On Deck is the new student section for Mizzou Baseball. |
April 16, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Mizzou baseball program is pleased to announce the formation of its new student fan section - Tigers On Deck - which will serve as the official Mizzou student fan section at Taylor Stadium. The student group, which was launched by the baseball program in conjunction with several Mizzou students, hopes to give Taylor Stadium a presence similar to that of the Tigers' Lair at Mizzou football games and the Zou Crew at Mizzou men's basketball games. Follow the group on twitter @MUTigersOnDeck.
The group will make its debut this weekend when the Tigers host Kansas State for a three-game Big 12 series. Fans interested in joining can e-mail the group at firstname.lastname@example.com. Of course, admission to all Mizzou baseball games is free for Missouri students and members of the MU Tigers On Deck will be have access to plenty of amenities, including priority seating in a VIP section entitled `The On Deck Circle' for each game.

Talking about starting a small business in Greater Cincinnati
By Mark Heyne
The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Greater Cincinnati. Our region's economic climate and support networks are becoming more favorable each year to those looking to take the chance and start their own business. But it's still a risky proposition, and no one should start a company without doing their homework. We discuss starting a small business in Greater Cincinnati with Jayne Heekin, co-owner with Sarah Brown of BLOWN, a blow dry studio that recently opened in Montgomery; and Stacey DeJulius, who with her husband Frank DeJulius, owns Fleet Feet Sports Cincinnati. They just opened their second store in town.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Isaac Wardell and Kevin Twit to talk a bit about the effect of hymns on the life of our congregations. Wardell is the director for worship arts at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, and one of the founders of Bifrost Arts, through which he's recorded a number of traditional and retuned hymns. Twit is a pastor with Reformed University Fellowship at Bellmont University in Nashville, and the founder of Indelible Grace, a collection of musicians who have been writing retuned hymns for many years.
In this conversation, we talk about why we've returned to hymns and some of the reasons for retuning hymns with new melodies.
Mike Cosper is pastor of worship and arts at Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, Kentucky. He is the author of The Stories We Tell: How TV and Movies Long for and Echo the Truth (Crossway, 2014), Rhythms of Grace: How the Church's Worship Tells the Story of the Gospel (Crossway, 2013), and co-author (with Daniel Montgomery) of Faithmapping: A Gospel Atlas for Your Spiritual Journey (Crossway, 2012).

The New York Times reported Monday that congressional Republicans were split on the coming defense budget sequestration, with many in the GOP suggesting the cuts ought to go through because "fiscal questions trump defense" Now, more than 70 foreign policy experts, including prominent Republicans and Democrats, have signed a letter drafted by the Foreign Policy Initiative that urges congressional leaders to act and stop the sequestration. A copy of the letter is running as an ad in Tuesday's print edition of Politico.
"Sequestration will result in unacceptable risk for U.S. national security," the letter reads. "It will degrade our ability to defend our allies, deter aggres- sion, and promote and protect American economic interests. It will erode the credibility of our treaty commitments abroad. It will be a self-inflicted wound to American strength and leadership in the world. History will not look kindly on this abdication of responsibility, but will hold accountable the President and the Congress who together chose such a dangerous course."
Read the full letter and see its signatories below:
On Tuesday afternoon, President Barack Obama will meet with Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who have been outspoken about halting the sequestration and maintaining the defense spending threatened by those cuts. Graham told CNN he hopes to speak with Obama about sequestration.
The planned cuts to the defense budget as a result of the sequestration could mean reductions in benefits fo active members of the military and their families. Adam Kredo reports:
Read more...
Bluffton, S.C. Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich called plans to sequester $600 billion from the defense budget "totally destructive" and "very dangerous to the survival of the country." The cuts, scheduled to begin in 2013, will automatically occur because of the supercommittee's inability to cut $1.2 trillion over the next ten years from the federal budget.
In Tuesday's debate, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney once again made clear that he thinks cutting defense spending is a bad idea, even at a time when he supports reducing the size of government. The former Massachusetts governor was answering a question about the debt deal supercommittee.
There is a certain irony, as well as much truth, in Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's drumbeat of warnings about the consequences of further cuts to U.S. military budgets of the sort threatened under the current deficit reduction law.
In an op-ed at foxnews.com, John Bolton defends defense:
The risks of debilitating cuts to our national-security budget will be a critical issue for Congress when it reconvenes after the August recess. While the media focus as Congress adjourned earlier this month was on the big-picture implications of the legislation lifting the federal debt-ceiling, we cannot lose sight of the difficult -- and imminent -- struggles just ahead in September.
With the congressional "supercommittee" – or, to be precise, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction – now complete, the stage is set for a very high drama indeed. Now comes the moment when Americans must confront the costs of remaining the world's sole superpower, the guarantor of an international system that has created a generation of great-power peace, widespread prosperity, and unprecedented human liberty.
Can the debt deal pass the House of Representatives? House speaker John Boehner has said he believes he has the votes from the Republican caucus, and Steny Hoyer, the Democratic minority whip, says he can deliver 80 to 100 votes from his side of the aisle.
"Extraordinarily difficult and very high risk." That's how General Martin Dempsey, the Army's chief of staff and Obama's pick to chair the Joint Chiefs of Staff, bluntly described proposals by the president and certain lawmakers to cut national security spending by anywhere from $400 billion to $1 trillion or more over the next decade.
Jamie Fly, writing at National Review Online:
The foremost obligation of the federal government is to provide for the safety of the American people. Yet as the budget debate continues, it's becoming increasingly clear that certain politicians want to trim the defense budget in order to repurpose money for social entitlement programs, such as health care reform, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. A new white paper, titled "Warning: Hollow Force Ahead," which has just been released by the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the Foreign Policy Initiative, warns of the negative consequences of a thinner defense.
One of the least covered aspects of the debt limit negotiations has been defense spending. Obama administration officials and congressional Democrats have indicated that the White House would like to include significant defense cuts as part of an eventual deal, even beyond the $400 billion in cuts to security spending over the next twelve years that the president announced in April.

Most people can relate to the feeling of heaviness that comes along with accruing unmanageable debt. On the flip side, substantial amounts of cash in the bank can provide a sense of possibility. The same is true in the world of business. Debt limits options, and large cash reserves keeps doors wide open. Today we ran a screen to find mid cap stocks that have minimal debt and plenty of cash on hand. With these two components in place, companies are well positioned for growth. We think you will find our list worthy of further research.
The Long Term Debt/Equity Ratio is a variation of the traditional debt-to-equity ratio; this value computes the proportion of a company's long-term debt compared to its available capital. By using this ratio, investors can identify the amount of leverage utilized by a specific company and compare it to others to help analyze the company's risk exposure. Generally, companies that finance a greater portion of their capital via debt are considered riskier than those with lower leverage ratios.
The Debt/Equity Ratio illustrates how aggressively a company is financing its growth via debt. The more debt financing that is used in a capital structure, the more volatile earnings can become due to the additional interest expense. Should a company's potentially enhanced earnings fail to exceed the cost associated with debt financing over time, this can lead the company toward substantial trouble.
The Current ratio is a liquidity ratio used to determine a company's financial health. The metric illustrates how easily a firm can pay back its short obligations all at once through current assets. A company that has a current ratio of one or less is generally a liquidity red flag. Now this doesn't mean the company will go bankrupt tomorrow, but it also doesn't bode well for the company, and may indicate that it could have an issue paying back upcoming obligations.
The Quick ratio measures a company's ability to use its cash or assets to extinguish its current liabilities immediately. Quick assets include assets that presumably can be converted to cash at close to their book values. A company with a Quick Ratio of less than 1 cannot currently pay back its current liabilities. The quick ratio is more conservative than the Current Ratio because it excludes inventory from current assets, since some companies have difficulty turning their inventory into cash. If short-term obligations need to be paid off immediately, sometimes the current ratio would overestimate a company's short-term financial strength. In general, the higher the ratio, the greater the company's liquidity (i.e., the better able to meet current obligations using liquid assets).
We first looked for mid cap stocks. We then screened for businesses that have maintained a sound long term capital structure (Long Term D/E Ratio<.1). From here, we then looked for companies that have maintained a sound capital structure (D/E Ratio<.1). We then looked for companies with a large amount of cash on hand (Current Ratio>2)(Quick Ratio>2). We did not screen out any sectors.
Do you think these mid-cap stocks deserve to trade higher? Use our list along with your own analysis.

In the year 2000, long before we all set up our Nicolas Cage google alerts, and long before Nicolas Cage found a naked stranger at the foot of his bed wearing his leather jacket and eating a fudgesicle, the actor suffered another egregious tragedy — the theft of a rare comic book. Mr. Cage had to wait 11 years, but in 2011 the comic was retrieved from an abandoned storage locker, and finally, in the year 2012, Ben Garant and Tom Lennon had the perfect idea, honestly perfect, these guys are perfect, what a perfect idea, of turning this incredible story into a movie. From The Hollywood Reporter:
Lionsgate has picked up Action No. 1, a heist comedy from writers and Reno 911! creators Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon. The duo also is producing along with Peter Principato and Paul Young.
The story revolves around a group of nerds who attempt to steal Cage's copy of Action Comics No. 1, the landmark 1938 comic that introduced the world to the Man of Steel.
The part of Cage was written with the real Cage in mind, but at this stage, it's unlikely that Cage will play himself.
Uh doy, of course it's unlikely that Nicolas Cage would play himself. How could Nicolas Cage play a parody of himself in this perfect movie, when he has so many terrible movies he has to play a parody of himself in already lined up?! Although no one does "Nicolas Cage" like Nicolas Cage(/Andy Samberg), I'm sure if we put our tiny little pea brains together we'll be able to think of an adequate replacement. I will go first.
A Scary Mask?
A Wig?
Robin Williams?
A Ghost?
Someone Taking An Improv Comedy Class?
A Circus Conductor?
Vincent Gallo?
Michael McDonald As "Stuart" From Mad TV?
Barbacoa Burrito?
Chuck Bass?
Male Mannequin?
Aaron Paul?
Any of those would be great! Do you have any other ideas, or did you just have all of the same ones?
