Bill Daniels, The Polaroid Kid, Terrorist Bubble Gum, and Mika Miko.
When works of art become commodities and nothing else, when every endeavor becomes "creative" and everybody "a creative," then art sinks back to craft and artists back to artisans—a word that, in its adjectival form, at least, is newly popular again. Artisanal pickles, artisanal poems: what's the difference, after all? So "art" itself may disappear: art as Art, that old high thing. Which—unless, like me, you think we need a vessel for our inner life—is nothing much to mourn.
Hard-working artisan, solitary genius, credentialed professional—the image of the artist has changed radically over the centuries. What if the latest model to emerge means the end of art as we have known it? --continue reading

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
11 Now, in these last sentences, I want to emphasize in the bold scrawls of my personal handwriting the immense importance of what I have written to you. | 11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! |
12 These people who are attempting to force the ways of circumcision on you have only one motive: They want an easy way to look good before others, lacking the courage to live by a faith that shares Christ's suffering and death. All their talk about the law is gas. | 12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. |
13 They themselves don't keep the law! And they are highly selective in the laws they do observe. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast of their success in recruiting you to their side. That is contemptible! | 13 Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh. |
14 For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified in relation to the world, set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others and fitting into the little patterns that they dictate. | 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. |
15 Can't you see the central issue in all this? It is not what you and I do - submit to circumcision, reject circumcision. It is what God is doing, and he is creating something totally new, a free life! | 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation. |
16 All who walk by this standard are the true Israel of God - his chosen people. Peace and mercy on them! | 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God. |
17 Quite frankly, I don't want to be bothered anymore by these disputes. I have far more important things to do - the serious living of this faith. I bear in my body scars from my service to Jesus. | 17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. |
18 May what our Master Jesus Christ gives freely be deeply and personally yours, my friends. Oh, yes! | 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. |

We can always count on National Firearms Museum Senior Curator Phil Schreier to pull out something special for his weekly Curator's Corner segment on NRA News. Tonight he brings us a World War II submachine gun manufactured by — General Motors.
You probably stopped after reading the last sentence so I'll say it again; we are talking about the M3 submachine gun that was built by General Motors. As Phil likes to tell it, manufacturing concerns leading up to the War produced a calling for an efficient, cost effective submachine gun.
The Army decided there was a need solid metal gun that fired a 9x19 parabellum or .45 cartridge. While several companies gave it a try, it was GM's M3 that made the cut.
With a 30 round magazine and a muzzle velocity of 920 ft/s, the M3 was manufactured from 1943 to 1945. During that time, roughly 700,000 were produced. Soon after it was created, the M3 was tweaked with hopes to improve reliability and decrease weight. The result was a gun that saw service all the way from World War II to Desert Storm — the M3A1.
For the whole story, you'll have to join Phil and the gang tonight on at 10:20pm Eastern on NRANews.com or listen on Sirius/XM Patriot satellite radio.

Gear Question
It says it's a two-layer shell, does that...
It says it's a two-layer shell, does that mean there is a zip in layer? I want a jacket with insulation purchased the Volcom Taylor jacket but might trade up for the sky gigi ruf.
What you're thinking of is a 3-in-1 jacket, which we sell on the site.
"Two layer shell" refers to the jacket's material, which is two layers of material (the colorful outer and the waterproof inner) sandwiched together. There are also three layer shells.
I hope that helps.

Chocolate Nut Zucchini Cake
This was given to me by a friend. It is equally good with or without the nuts.
3 squares unsweetened chocolate or you may substitute (3 Tbsp butter plus ½ cup and 1 more Tbsp. cocoa powder)
3 cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 ½ cups salad oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set to one side. Melt chocolate (or butter and then add cocoa powder) and cool slightly. Beat eggs. Add sugar, oil and vanilla. Beat well then add melted chocolate, zucchini and nuts and mix thoroughly. Finally, add flour mixture. Beat until well blended.
Bake at 325 degrees F. until top springs back when touched with finger (approximately 55-60 minutes).
Yields 3-4 loaves or one 9×13 inch cake.
If you ever meet someone who says, "What am I going to do with all this zucchini?" you now have a delicious answer! Enjoy.

Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well. Spread over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace. Franklin D. Roosevelt We are raising today's children in sterile, risk-averse and highly structured environments. In so doing, we are failing to cultivate artists, pioneers and entrepreneurs, and instead cultivating a generation of children who can follow the rules in organized sports games, sit for hours in front of screens and mark bubbles on standardized tests. Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that. Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. We Greeks are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness. It takes a little bit of mindfulness and a little bit of attention to others to be a good listener, which helps cultivate emotional nurturing and engagement. We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest. |

Y2K 2.0: How A Second Brought Down Half The Internets
The "leap second" was a one second adjustment made to the atomic clock tonight at 23:59:59 UT (just before 8pm ET). After it went into effect tonight, half the internet — including Reddit, FourSquare, Yelp, LinkedIn, Gawker StumbleUpon, and more — came crashing down. The outages were mostly (thankfully) brief. Here's how it happened.
The TL;DR version: There is a tiny gap between traditional "rotational time" and the modern "coordinated universal time," due to the fact that the earth spins a tiny bit slower every year due to tides and internal processes. No clock can accomodate an "extra second," so clocks are stopped for one second at 23:59:59 in order to add the "leap second" to our universal time.
Elisa Felicitas Arias of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures explained in 2008 that "It might seem stupid to say that you have a difference of only one second… but for the stock exchange, one second is important. For an airport, one second is important. For global navigation satellite systems, the difference of a second is unacceptable."
On his blog about working around potential leap second disasters, Marco Marongiu explained that even though the leap second has been added many times since it was introduced in the 1970s, many systems and applications have still not quite adjusted to the change. Here's another post, this one from Google, explaining how they account for the change to insure their products and services remain unaffected.
However, many of the most popular sites and applications on the internet were not prepared for the leap second adjustment, and many of them saw widespread outages as soon as the adjustment took place.
Reddit, Gawker media sites, StumbleUpon, Yelp, FourSquare, LinkedIn, and Meetup were among the many sites affected for some time.
At the time of writing, most of the sites affected are at least partially back online, but still buggy. LinkedIn is still down.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Sanyo DP42746 Foreword: I had 3 Sanyo TVs prior to this plasma - CRT, CRT HDTV and LCD HDTV. This Plasma TV is my fourth Sanyo. The brand is not as popular in the US as it is in Asia. Sanyos products are high quality & feature rich while maintaining a low price. In the US, the marketing is limited and availability is limited to one store, making it not as popular as it should be in spite of the good quality and cost effectiveness it offers. Sanyo does not compete with the top brands like Hitachi, Samsung, Sony etc because of some inherent problems which are elaborated later in the review. In the Box: The Box is heavy; the shipping weight of the box is 95 lbs, with the weight of the TV being 84 lbs. The Box contains only the basics, no cables are included. The User manual is generic, the same manual is used for all models with changes only to the product content. The box includes: 1. Sanyo DP42746 TV 2. User Manual 3. Quick setup guide 4. Remote Appearance and ease of installation: The TV is Black in color and looks very attractive. There are no buttons on the front panel of the TV, they are hidden away on the top, making it look seamless and clutter free. The buttons on the top panel look extremely cheap Sanyo must be glad they are hidden away. Though it is a 42 inch TV, it seems bigger, more like a 50 inch because of the speakers mounted to the sides giving a much bigger appearance. The feet supporting the TV are small but very sturdy, making it look very sleek and gives a false sense of light weight. They are built into the TV, meaning there is no external bracket, the feet actually go into the body of the TV, nice design. They are made of 5mm thick metal and can easily be removed (screws on the back) for wall mount purposes. The glass panel over the Plasma tube reveals some defective assembly and poor quality control. The picture quality is not compromised, but the build quality is not upto the mark. Also, the part that says HDTV and integrated HDTV tuner at the top and bottom of the TVs front panel are cheap stickers pasted onto the TV. It is bound to curl up & fall off sometime. The remote it is black to match the TV. Having so many Sanyo TVs in the past, I can say, all the remotes are the same except for the body color (Black/silver). Even the number of keys are the same. The only difference is the color of the 4-way buttons used to navigate the menus (green). The buttons are not backlit, it will keep you groping in the dark. The volume & Channel buttons are of the same size and shape as the buttons around them, making it difficult to find them in the dark. This part is not even lack of innovation, I would define it as Sanyos inability to even copy the other company's standard remote design. The remote is very effective from long distances & varied angles though. It is very easy to install the TV, it offers tons of connections including HDMI, Component, S-Video, optical etc. The included quick install guide is basic and very simplified and even a novice can set it up. The user manual is again basic, it contains little information about the TVs capabilities. The pictures for demonstration on the manual are the same as the ones used on the cheap 24 inch CRT TV. The installation is as simple as getting it out of the box, placing it on the TV stand and connecting the power and connecting the Video/audio cables. The factory preset video gives the best picture quality, I tried changing it, but noticed the factory preset is the best. So basically, you can start watching videos on the without any configuration. Features and Functions: The TV has a built-in HDTV tuner, Dual tuners Analog (NTSC) and Digital (ATSC), HDMI and Optical inputs, 16:9 pulldown, picture zoom etc. The picture quality is hands down brilliant compared to the other TVs in the sub $2000 range. The HD programming seems alive and crystal clear. The Dual antenna inputs are great, I get the off-the-air programming via the Terk HDTVi digital antenna ( http://www.epinions.com/content_230625349252 ) . It also has many input/output ports, including optical output, HDMI and component. Many components can be connected to the TV with the included ports. The TV menu is not as good and well defined as the other brands, it is very simple and offers hardly any settings. The Audio settings has some features disabled why display it when you dont offer it. The menu is a slight improvement from the older menu, but it is still pathetic. The built-in speakers are sufficient at the most, but on standard great. The sound seems extremely flat and lacks on the treble and the bass. The menu has a bass and treble adjustment, but increasing the bass makes it sound awful. Most users have home theatre systems, this should not make much difference to them. The sound from my Onkyo HT790 (http://www.epinions.com/content_231649939076 ) connected through the optical out sounds awesome. This being my first black TV, I must say the color makes a difference, the picture seems more clear simply by the fact that the picture tube enclosed in a dark case makes the background dark and the picture on the tube appear more brighter. I have observed this in the stores too. The PIX shape button on the remote is nice.. allows the picture to be zoomed, to either fit the TV or for best shape. There is also a caption button offering a lot of caption options. I have used the same Terk digital antenna for the previous TV & this one, but with the new Plasma, I am able to get more channels not sure why. But Im not complaining The contrast ratio of the TV is a mystery, no where on the manufacturer website or the user manual is there a mention of this important specification. But I can swear, I once read on Sanyos website that it was 10000:1, but I never found it again so was I seeing things hmmm all part of the mystery. There is a dearth of information on this TV even on Sanyos website and I did not find the user manual to be very useful regarding the full specs of the TV. Sanyo Warranty: The warranty is worth mentioning. Sanyo offers 1 year replacement warranty, meaning if the issue is not resolved over the phone (which never happens, considering the representative is not a techie) the product can be taken back to the store where it was purchased and a you can get a new one. Guess what happens if the same TV is not available, you get to pick another Sanyo TV and pay/get the difference. The best part is you get the same 1year replacement warranty on the new TV starting from the date of the exchange. PROS: 1. Brilliant picture quality 2. Easy setup 3. HDTV tuner Built-in 4. Dual tuner Analog and Digital 5. Looks bigger than it is because of the side mounted speakers. 6. Very low TV price. CONS: 1. Build quality 2. Documentation is limited. 3. TV menu is pathetic to put it mildly 4. Limited availability, only available in Walmart 5. TV Speakers are only average. Final word: The best part of this TV is the picture quality, it is very good. The amount of detail displayed in HD programming is amazing. This is an easy setup TV, without the complicated and laborious configurations. The lack of good speakers can be compensated with a good home theatre. The menu sucks, but out of the box it works well with the factory default settings, so you dont really need to make any configuration changes and only adds to the convenience. The 1year replacement warranty adds to the value. If you are looking for a TV that has brilliant picture quality, extremely easy setup, has loads of input/output options like the latest HDMI & optical; then this is the right TV for you. But if you are looking for a TV where you can play with and have lots of fun with the customizations and settings then this will not fall in that category.

Integrated Silicon Solutions' CEO Discusses F3Q2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We expect these new devices to contribute to revenue growth in the coming quarters and further expand our market share. We're also seeing increased market opportunities for SDRAM and DDR1 products as our larger competitors reach end of life on their equivalent products.
As we mentioned before, both Samsung and Hynix informed their customers that they will be exiting SDRAM and DDR1 markets by the end of 2012. We have made multiple crosses to replace both and recently had DDR design wins with Japanese automotive companies to provide long-term support once they start shipping. This shift provides an opportunity for ISSI to gain share and support customers as they seek stable supply to meet continuing demand for their products.
Additionally, we have made significant progress with our growing number of customers for our growing number of customers for our new RLDRAM memory products. We have sampled our RLDRAM2 memory to over 20 customers who are currently evaluating and designing in our part. We expect to begin our first revenue shipments in the September quarter and then ramp revenue into 2013.

The Keeper Menstrual Cup is a great alternative to tampons. This soft, natural gum rubber menstrual cup collects the flow rather than absorbing it, so the vaginal tissues aren't dried out as they can be by disposable tampons. The Keeper Cup holds up to an ounce of fluid and should be emptied several times a day; simply rinse and reinsert.

When baking bread do not use tepid water use cold, it works better because heat kills yeast and this way takes a little longer to prove but worth it .
"Posted by Crafty Cookie"
Also on breadmaking, add the salt when you start to knead the dough as salt kills the yeast but you need the salt to preserve the bread and give it flavour .

When baking and using cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda or baking powder bake the item straight away for best raising results (as soon as liquid is mixed into these raising agents they start to work and therefore lose their raising prowess

When beating egg whites, always add a tiny bit of baking powder of some acid, it helps to make them fluffier. Either rub the bowl with a wedge of lemon or add a couple of lemon juice if you don't want to use baking powder .

Add a pinch of salt when beating whole eggs: The salt will make the whites runnier and easier to mix with the yolks. Especially useful when using very fresh eggs

When making cake batter or soufflé, either use icing sugar or very fine sugar. Failing that, beat the sugar in with the eggs so the sugar dissolves. This prevents the cake (or soufflé) from collapsing

When making shortcrust pastry, a bit of lemon juice or a tiny amount of vinegar can prevent the pastry from shrinking. It also helps to make the crust crispier somehow
"Posted by Edda"
My mother always uses water that is around (or at) room temperature when she is baking something that uses yeast. In fact, her advice in regard to baking is : ALWAYS use ingredients at room temperature. The only exception being butter for short crust or flaky pastry. Use that as cold as possible. Her advice for short crust and flaky pastry is: If you don't feel entirely confident, chill all your ingredients. Even the flour. This way you are sure everything stays cool longer. If the weather is chilly or very humid, Mum has a trick to 'dry out' the flour she uses for bread and warm it up a little: Zap it in the microwave for a couple of seconds (30 at most), then whisk thoroughly. This will cool down the flour a little, test it with your finger to make sure it doesn't actually feel hot or it will kill the yeast. If it's too hot, whisk a bit more. If it feels more or less the same temp as your finger when you push it in the flour, you know you should be fine. This slight heating will help the yeast along and is safer than using tepid water
"Posted by Edda"
If you don't have a cake stand, or need an extra one or two for special occasions, place blue-tac on an upturned handle-less cup and press a large matching plate firmly on top. For a more permanent solution hot glue the cup to the plate. Three plates in various sizes can be stacked with cups blue-tac'ed inbetween to present smaller cakes, petit fours and sweets.
"Posted by Hettie"
If you're having trouble finding gold buttons for cupcakes and such, as I am here in the U.S. you can make them yourself by lightly spritzing some M&M candies with vodka (I use vanilla vodka), then immediately transferring them to a ziploc bag with a nice amount of gold luster dust (usually found at cake decorating stores or online) until they're nicely coated, and finally drying them on a piece of wax or parchment paper.
If you want to make them child-friendly, I would think you could use lemon, vanilla or almond essence or oil.

Hit So Hard, a film currently in festivals, mostly serves as a documentary about former Hole drummer Patty Schemel, but it also has a bunch of home footage of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, a couple who were capturing people's imagination since the first time they got together. Some bootleg footage of the movie recently surfaced online, and it features Cobain and Love playing a crude, sketchy acoustic version of an unreleased duet called "Stinking Of You" alongside some seriously heartbreaking images of the two of them taking care of an infant Frances Bean Cobain. Watch it below.

Question's for Mongo and Bill Putting up a tile backsplash in Kitchen, couple of quick questions. 1) Putting backsplash tile on existing Drywall is that ok or should I put up a 1/4" durrock or other material first? 2) What kind of thinset do I use for Glass and Metal Aluminum tile? 3) What kind of Grout for a kitchen would be best to resist staining and clean up well for splatters like tomato sauce?. Is regular grout ok? Bill I can go to D&B if that is best and needed. Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 13:57
FYI, Bill no longer hangs out here. :-( He's apparently full time at John Bridge. 1. OK to put backsplash straight onto drywall, as it's not a wet area. |
Thank you weedyacres, I had spent a lot of time on John Bridge, been a while since I did all my research gotta get my Tile head back on. Too bad he doesn't check in anymore, he was/is a fantastic guy. Between the two of them, and everyone else here.. I was able to get a wonderful MB. |
I'm not a tile person but I recommend the epoxy grout or even what I used in our shower, ProFusion grout which is pre-mixed. The regular grout will definitely stain and I took it out of our kitchen. |
- Posted by HoustonRemodeler (My Page) on Thu, Jun 12, 14 at 15:50
1- Regular white plain drywall is ok for a backsplash. 2- Glass Tile Adhesive by Laticrete (a white dry powder mixed with water) Do not use mastic or anything pre-mixed 3- Fusion Pro is my first choice. |
Glass manufacturers usually have thinset and grout recommendations. For thinset or adhesive, in general it's a good idea to NOT use mastic behind glass. Some mastics can yellow over time and create a blotchy shading through the glass. Depends on the translucency, etc. Best bet is usually to use a white thinset behind glass. Gray thinset can sometimes muddle the brightness of glass tile. Again, depends on the specifics of the glass. But when in doubt, white thinset. Grout? Sanded can sometimes be a problem depending on the grain of the sand, and depending on the float skills of the installer. The grittiness of the sand can sometimes scratch the surface of glass or metal tile. Some of the newer grouts have a very fine-grained sand and scratching is not much of a problem. |
Mongo, so happy to hear from you and get your help. Yes I learned from you and bill before not to use the Mastic so that was never an option. See I listen and am learning. Planned on a white thinset but was concerned with if I can go directly on the existing drywall and what kind of thinset would be best? IDK is there a difference? Same with the Grout, I know there are different types of grouts, what would be better? I will use un-sanded as I don't want to mess up the glass. This tile is random sticks of aluminum and glass all the same width but different lengths. I would say heavier on the metal then the glass. I will attach a link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Glass & Metal tile

The Earth was small, light blue and so touchingly alone, our home must be defended like a holy relic. The Earth was absolutely round. I believe I never knew what the word round meant until I saw the Earth from space. Russian cosmonaut Alexey Leonov Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward. every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. |

Just ordered 30 echo smart retrofit led down lights from Home Depot. Didn't realize until after the order that they have a CRI of 80. They offer an echo smart with a CRI of 90 but they are ten bucks more. Is the higher CRI worth it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Depends on where the lights will be placed and the user(s). Areas that need to be well lit (+ good color rendition) - such as kitchens, art studios would probably benefit. It is also worth noting that lower CRI lighting (low cost t8/ t12 fluorescent lighting) has been used in artists' studios, graphic artist work areas before. Try out both lights first. |
They will be used it the kitchen, living room and one bedroom closet for now. How would the 80 compare to incandescent br40? |
Also, I just noticed that the fixture with the 90 CRI is 5000k versus 2700k for the 80 CRI. Which would you recommend? |
For me, I'd go with 5000/90 any day. Both color and rendition are better. Try sorting black socks from navy blue under both lights. |
I use different color temp depending on the area being lit. It also depends on the expense involved. Some claim that 5000k color is too close to commercial lighting and only want warm white. Others take the stance that 5000k is the only way to go. Do what works best for you and your family. |
HD has discontinued selling the Ecosmart version of the Cree CR6 2700K lights with 90 CRI in favor of a cheaper model labelled "builder grade" that is 80 CRI and also uses about 33% more electricity (13w instead of 9.5w) but is no brighter. The 90 CRI version is still available from Cree under their own brand. For now, the HD 5000K Ecosmart CR4 and CR6 are still 90 CRI since that's all Cree makes; the 4" 2700K is too, though that may change soon. I think the higher CRI is worth the extra cost. |
Oops, take back what I just wrote. Was at HD last night, and I see the 90 CRI / 2700K version of the CR6 is once again available. New packaging, now with Cree branding (not Ecosmart) in a dark blue box that resembles that used for their TW series bulbs. Also the price is up to almost $40 from $35 (in non-subsidized areas), but being an official Cree product now has a 10-year warranty rather than only 3 years as before. The product itself doesn't seem to have changed. Look for a Cree bulb endcap at the store. No mention of these on either the HD or Cree website yet. |

Well-defined growth on the skin, usually caused by a papillomavirus, which triggers overproduction of epidermal cells. This may lead to a single long-standing wart, profuse local spread (especially in moist areas), or warts in various parts of the body. The most common type is a round bump with a dry, rough surface. Warts are usually painless except in pressure areas, such as the sole of the foot (plantar wart). Genital warts are merely a nuisance unless they become large or numerous enough to interfere with urination, defecation, or childbirth, but some viral strains are associated with cervical cancer. Warts are considered contagious. They may be removed by applying acids, cryotherapy, electrocautery, or surgery; they sometimes disappear spontaneously.

Don't you need your hand to play dominion tho?

That Other Guy
Neglecting your GF, friends, family, job, etc. in favor of a game is really not a good way to go. It's just a game and you can always play it another time. However there are also plenty of girls/women out there that try to control their boyfriends (try to tell them who they can't hang out with, what games they can't play in their free time, etc.) and if she was one of these then good riddance. People need to respect their partners and understand that they have lives outside of the relationship and not try to intrude on them. TL;DR good: playing LoL in your free time bad: blowing off your gf, job, etc. to play LoL instead

Are pro-Chávez Venezuelans setting up a 'Plan B' in Panama?
(Read article summary)With Hugo Chávez's status uncertain, some Chávistas are looking to relocate to Panama. It's another chance for Panama to gain from other countries' crises, as it has for more than a century.
Panama City, Panama
The steady stream of wealthy Venezuelans moving to Panama to escape political and social unrest in their home country has not shown any signs of slowing since Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez revealed he is being treated for cancer.
But their political affiliation has changed.
Mr. Chávez's ongoing battle with cancer, for which he is receiving treatment this week in Venezuela, has some of his top military officials apparently considering a contingency plan in Panama, according to one of Panama's top real estate developers.
"Now we have Chavistas who are fleeing Venezuela because Chávez is sick and they don't know how long he is going to last. We had something like six generals come here over the weekend. They figure: This guy is mortal; we need a plan B," says José Manuel Bern of real estate developer Empresas Bern.
Mr. Bern, whose family firm has delivered 25 buildings in the past five years, adds in perfect English, "[the Chavistas] are thinking: Man, if this guy croaks, you never know… we may have to go."
Bern says that even anti-Chávez Venezuelans who have flocked to Panama over the past decade, helping to fill the apartment glut from 75 new skyscrapers built in past 10 years in city of fewer than 1.5 million people, are not about to get on the first plane back home.
The Venezuelans in Panama are too concerned with rampant citizen insecurity and political instability to return home anytime soon, he says. And any potential power vacuum caused by Chávez's untimely or unexpected removal from office would only make the situation more precarious.
So as long as long as Venezuela's situation remains bad, Panama will continue to make lemonade, says Bern. "The situation in Venezuela is not going to go back to 1995," he notes.
It's not just unhappy Venezuelans who are fleeing to Panama.

I say this as someone who has written a book about going to weddings — Save the Date: The Occasional Mortifications of a Serial Wedding Guest, out now from Riverhead — but that doesn't mean I'm biased. It's simply true: Weddings make for great scenes, unforgettable moments of high expectation, emotion, and drama — in fiction as well as in nonfiction. I've gathered a few of my favorites from books new and old (though not necessarily blue), along with my feelings on why these particular weddings make for great reading. … Read More

The CW's 'Reign' Is the Guilty-Pleasure Period Drama You've Been Waiting For
Tonight the CW premieres a new series called Reign. It's effectively The Tudors, filtered through a CW sensibility — lots of pop music and a candy-colored palette — and transposed onto the slightly more recent story of Mary, Queen of Scots. Everyone in this show is surpassingly attractive. There's a great deal of sex, and a girl in one of those tattered burlap masks, and also a really hot Nostradamus. And then there is its genius casting of Megan Follows, best known as Anne of Green Gables, as Catherine de Medici. Basically I just like the idea that Anne grew up to be queen, and also that I can now nerdily mention that Anne directed the Mary, Queen of Scots play at the boarding school where she taught in Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel. Intertextuality is a great and wondrous thing. … Read More
10 Best-Selling Books That Were Originally Rejected
Anyone who has ever wanted to work in a creative field, be it writing, painting or playing music has been told they'd better develop thick skin. After all, it doesn't matter how good you are, someone will always be there to tear you down.

EAST LANSING, Mich. Maps are great for showing where things are. They're also good for showing where things aren't.
Two Michigan State University professors have developed interactive maps that offer a visual perspective of urban food deserts. By using GIS (geographic information systems) technology, they are showing, rather than simply telling, how urban residents are losing access to fresh produce and balanced nutrition.
Phil Howard, assistant professor of community, agriculture, recreation and resource studies, and Kirk Goldsberry, assistant professor of geography, conducted their research in Lansing. They found that many supermarkets have closed their stores that serve urban areas and have moved to the suburbs. They also showed that Michigan's state capital is a model for what's happening to food environments around the country.
"The change in food environments is recurring all over the nation," said Howard, whose research is supported by MSU's AgBioResearch. "The best selection of produce and the lowest prices have moved to the suburbs. So if you want lettuce in Lansing, or in most U.S. cities, you're going to have to drive to get it."
One aspect on which the study focused was store locations. It showed that less than 4 percent of the population lived within a 10-minute walk of a supermarket. The researchers also looked at the cost in reaching those stores as well as the availability of produce at each retail location. They took into account everything from urban party stores, which may offer lemons and limes, to suburban box stores, which offer nearly 250 different produce items.
By taking actual food inventories and pairing that data with geospatial inputs, the team was able to precisely measure geographic access to produce sections. What was revealed was a tale of two food environments. First, people with cars can overcome many geographical obstacles to obtain fresh produce while pedestrians' ability to obta

Emphasis on drafting speed and skill paying off for New York RangersIt seems like a distant memory now, but just six or seven years ago, the New York Rangers had few homegrown players on their NHL roster. Big name free agents were the norm for this original six team, with few of the team's prospects ever appearing in more than one or two games on Broadway. Team Rankings: MacKinnon boosts status of Colorado Avalanche prospect poolBelow is the 21-30 segment of the Hockey's Future NHL Team Rankings. The teams are ranked in terms of the quality of their overall prospect pool as voted on by members of the HF staff. For reference, just the top five prospects for each club are listed. To be eligible, a prospect must meet HF's prospect criteria. The rankings are done twice a year, with this ranking meant to represent the state of the prospect pools in the early stages of the 2013-14 season. Several New York Rangers prospects expected to have big seasons in 2013-14Of the 30 prospects in the New York Rangers' system, 19 are professional hockey players as of the beginning of the 2013-14 season. With only five prospects selected by New York in the 2013 NHL Draft and four in 2012, there are fewer younger players in the system than there have been in many years. Top 50: Wealth of talent and NHL experience among bottom-10 prospectsThe Fall edition of the Hockey's Future ranking of the Top 50 NHL prospects begins with the prospects ranked 41-50. The lockout-shortened 2012-13 season left a talented pool of eligible prospects, evident already in the bottom group of players. |

LR Police Fire Officer Accused Of Displaying Gun
By Associated Press
A Little Rock police officer has been fired after he allegedly displayed a gun at a bar in Fayetteville.
Police spokeswoman Sgt. Cassandra Davis released Jeffrey Harris' termination letter on Thursday.
The letter dated Wednesday says Harris drew his weapon and waved it at people at a bar in April.
The letter says Harris also used profane language and made a "racially derogatory statement during the incident."
Davis says Harris has 10 days to appeal his termination. It's not clear whether Harris has a lawyer.

Program on Energy and Sustainable Development Working Paper #1, page(s): 24
February 2003
Over the last three decades a wave of reform has spread nearly every aspect of modern economic activity. Reformers have sought to replace state control with markets in air transportation, telecommunications, banking, ports, railroads, food service, and sundry other activities. Even Russian vodka is the product, today, of markets rather than a state behemoth. The experience with reform has underscored that markets to do not arise or function spontaneously. They require institutions, such as law courts, securities markets and regulatory agencies, to deliver on their promise.

The Police Federation said there must be zero tolerance against attacks and the judiciary should impose more maximum prison sentences.
Chairman Terry Spence's words come after prison officer David Black was murdered by gunmen on the M1 as he travelled to work at Maghaberry prison.
"Politicians standing shoulder to shoulder after each atrocity is a welcome signal of condemnation and steadfastness but it must lead to concerted action to bring the terrorist campaign to an end.
"Unless we take the serious and effective steps of a policy of zero tolerance then the economic and political prospects of our new democracy will be worn down by attrition.
"That attrition is the death and serious injury, year in year out, of public servants who have dedicated their lives to the protection of this community."
On Monday, a republican paramilitary group which calls itself the new IRA admitted responsibility for killing Mr Black, a 52-year-old father of two.
In recent years two soldiers and two policemen have also been killed by dissident republicans. In July, it emerged that some of the main dissident republican terrorist factions in Northern Ireland were uniting to form a new version of the IRA.
Pretending that we are dealing with minuscule terrorist groups is simply self-deceiving wishful thinking.Terry Spence
Pretending that we are dealing with minuscule terrorist groups is simply self-deceiving wishful thinking.

"These people may be politically misguided lunatics but they have become a lethal force which needs a legally-based aggressive response from the Executive, the PSNI and the judiciary," Mr Spence will tell a meeting of police federations from across the UK on Tuesday.
"More information and intelligence leading to convictions is needed from the wider community at all levels."
A Northern Ireland Office spokeswoman said: "The Government keeps the status of all paramilitary organisations under review."
In the past seven years more than 1,100 officers have been injured during riots following loyal order parades, and Mr Spence said some have been medically discharged because of public order breakdown.
"The loyal orders and the resident groups should reflect on their failure to understand the price being paid in injuries and risk to life of police officers by their insistence that one side has the right to parade and the other side the right to be offended to the point of violent confrontation," he added.
The PSNI currently has around 7,000 officers - that is 5,500 fewer than were in the RUC in 1998, when the Good Friday Agreement was signed.
Mr Spence said the PSNI is under-resourced to deal with widespread public disorder and should be immediately authorised to begin recruiting 1,000 more officers.
Following talks with the Treasury in London last year, Justice Minister David Ford helped secure an extra £200 million for the police force.

- Modeling
I'd like to see a centralized and standardized source of models for biological parts and devices. A good framework for this would be the registry of standard biological parts. Each part and device should have a simple ODE model of its behavior accompanying it. In fact, this registry of models would operate identically and confer all the same advantages as a registry of parts. Namely, it would produce simple standard models of parts that could be reliably and rapidly combined to form models of more complex devices. If everyone building models was drawing from the same pool of part models, we could be more sure that those models were reliable. Again, just as with the registry of physical parts, everytime I wanted to build a model, I wouldn't have to start from scratch, I could start from well tried parts.
For example a constitutive promoter has a model with no inputs (ignoring polymerase and sigma levels) and one output, PoPS. In Matlab, this would be a simple function with no inputs that returns a scalar output which is the PoPS output of the device -
PoPS_out = R0040;
A protein generator would have a model with a PoPS input and a protein production rate as output. For example -
dP = E0240(PoPS_in);
Note that E0240 might actually be a collection of part models for an RBS, coding region, and terminator -
function dp = E0240(PoPS_in) RiPS = B0032(PoPS_in); translation_rate = E0040(RiPS); dp = B0015(translation_rate);
The part models for R0040 and E0240 could be put together in an obvious way to form a model of a reporter device.
We already have models for many of our simple parts that could be combined easily if only steady state conditions were considered. Some more organization would be required to allow each model to represent the time varying behavior of a device as combining devices would require the assembly of ODE's from different files. It should still be very possible though.

US officials combat public's wariness of swine flu vaccine
With polls showing that Americans are concerned about the safety of the swine flu vaccine, government health officials are being dispatched across the US to make the case for vaccination.
Jonathan Ernst/REUTERS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has dispatched swine flu "mythbusters" across the United States to correct what it says are rumors and misconceptions about the H1N1 virus and the new swine flu vaccine reaching American clinics this week.
Their task won't be easy. Despite a US vaccination regimen that public health officials widely regard as a success, a distrust of government scientists in general and of vaccinations in particular pervades large swaths of America, according to recent polls.
The vaccine is opposed, moreover, by naturopaths and even a well-known epidemiologist, Tom Jefferson, who has deemed H1N1 "not a major threat."
"[T]here are a lot of rumors out there and we're trying to address them, that we're expecting a very good safety track record for H1N1 vaccine," said Anne Schuchat, director of the Centers for Disease Control's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, at a news conference Friday.
While the share of people concerned about swine flu has jumped from 38 percent in June to 52 percent now, 41 percent of respondents still say they definitely will not get the flu shot, according to a recent Harvard Opinion Research poll. A Consumer Reports poll found that two-thirds of US parents have reservations about giving the vaccine to their children.

Compatibility mode doesn't always work. For example Kathrein's DVR manager requires a driver that does not run on 64bit.
Thankfully it works in a VM with 32bit XP.
I stand corrected. Shame on me, I suppose.
No idea why 18.104.22.168p14 had slipped my mind so badly.
Certainly embarrassing enough.
The main in C and C++ differ.
The main in C in hosted environments has been either
int main(void) {
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
since at least the C89 standard.
C99/C11 Section 184.108.40.206.1
For freestanding environments the standard states that the name and type of the function called at program startup are implementation-defined.
So, yes void main() would be perfectly valid C if the freestanding environment requires it that way.
Obviously gcc doesn't have to support it or any freestanding environment.
I didn't imply it had to, I merely stated that gcc complains about one incorrect main in a hosted environment but not about another in a hosted environment.
The main in C++ in freestanding environments is, again, implementation-defined.
In hosted environments the main shall have a return type of int but its type is implementation-defined.
Any implementation must at least support
int main() {
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
Has been like that since the C++98 standard, section 3.6.1.
In C int f(void) is a function with no parameters returning an int,
int f() is a function with no parameter specification returning an int.
They are not the same and should not be treated as such.
So, what we have is GCC supporting the standard, but whose implementation differs from other compilers. The devs made the choice to not support void main and that's perfectly fine. Nearly everybody who declares main as void are doing so in a hosted environment, and warnings/errors and completely justified.
No. What we have is gcc failing to support the most basic part of the C standard, rendering its -W flags at least questionable.
If it can't warn about an improper main, what else is it failing at?
All I really wanted to point out is that using some code and a compiler is no way to verify the standard.
I used main as an example because the OP wrote int main() in his "verification".
And regarding the original discussion about uninitialised local variables I agreed with you. But that's because of the standard, not because of how gcc does things.
Regarding gcc's adherence to the standard I gave you the most basic example a compiler should get right but doesn't.
All I'm trying to tell you is that if you want to verify that something is according to the standard, then using a piece of code and a compiler is not the correct way to do it, especially since a compiler can do whatever it wants with all undefined and implementation defined behaviour in the standard.
gcc could have easily chosen to always initialise uninitialised local variables to 0 regardless of optimisations.
No, you verified it well enough for gcc.
gcc complains about void main(), which is perfectly valid C in a freestanding environment, so why can't it complain about int main() in a hosted environment?
My best guess is that the gcc devs don't care about the difference between C and C++ mains because int main() is correct C++.
Or they don't know. Or they're just lazy. In any case, if gcc wasn't free and available, I doubt it'd be used as much.
You didn't actually verify it by using gcc but you're still correct.
By using gcc you only tested gcc's implementation-defined C behaviour.
If gcc was strictly adhering to the C std it would tell you that int main() is undefined behaviour on hosted environments and implementation-defined on freestanding environments.
Well, someone's a little sissy.

Never looked at newegg, considering it's a site for the US market, but I'm not really impressed by its design.
I prefer geizhals.at. Although that site is obviously best for the Austrian/German market one can still use it to narrow it down.
Don't put words into my mouth.

If you want a German one, then buy Osram.
All my CFLs are Osram with 5 year warranty. So far 3 out of about 20 have failed after 3-4 years.
