Thomas' son denies all abuse charges
Thursday, February 21, 2013
DOVER — On the 10th day of the Christina Thomas trial, several friends and family members of the defendant wept as the prosecution asked Thomas' 17-year-old son Jacob to read a letter he wrote years ago.
But when Cassotis asked Jacob Thomas to read a letter he wrote as a younger man, he expressed his fervent view then that his family, and his home life, is largely misunderstood by the people accusing his mother of wrongdoing in this case. Christina Thomas could face 10 to 30 years imprisonment for first degree assault on the child, for allegedly starving him from 2006 to 2010.
Defense attorney Steven Keable called a few witnesses to the stand Wednesday, who testified they never saw Christina Thomas abuse the victim in this case. The boy was found to weigh about 23 pounds a few months before his seventh birthday in 2010.
Jason Laskey, a roommate of the Thomas household, said when he lived with the Thomas "brood," he was there with almost a dozen others, many of whom assisted with preparing meals for the children, including the victim, in the home.
Thomas' husband, Michael Thomas, also testified he never wanted the victim's biological mother, a 34-year-old mentally handicapped woman and old friend of his wife's, to live with them. Under cross examination, he insisted the victim was not his own child so he paid more attention to the six other children in the home, some of whom are his. He said two children were fathered by another roommate in the house, Kevin Tulley.
"We are not (the boy's) parents," Michael Thomas, 37, stated. "We are not (his) caretakers. Christina was not (his) caretaker."
The state is attempting to prove not only that Christina Thomas knowingly starved the boy for years in her home, but that she was at that time the primary caretaker of the victim. Michael Thomas added his wife was never legally the boy's guardian — "she had a big heart," he said — to which Cassotis asked the man if he knew the principal of the New Durham School at the time asked Christina multiple times to sign papers accepting responsibility.
Family members on the stand also testified the boy constantly threw up and ruminated so the adults in the household would remove the boy's plate for "a minute or two" to let his stomach settle before returning the food again. They also said a lock was placed on the refrigerator because it wouldn't shut properly, and only junk foods were locked away to keep the children from eating through a long-term supply of afterschool snacks.
Cassotis asked Thomas' husband if he knew all of this before, why didn't he include it in his reports to the New Durham Police Department, to which Michael Thomas said, "I should have."
Cassotis brought up with Michael Thomas whether he had a say in the decision to allow his wife to recently register her car with new vanity license plates that read, with some altered spelling, "not guilty."
Jacob Thomas stressed in his testimony the victim, whom he grew up with, was never punished for his conditions. He said rather than being placed in "time outs," he remembered the boy being rushed to the bathroom when he began to vomit. The 17-year-old also reviewed several family photographs provided by the defense on projected screen, which showed him along with his siblings and the victim laughing together at family events and smiling in family portraits. One photograph showed two boys riding Christina Thomas and the victim's mother in horse saddles inside the house.
During the proceedings, two jurors raised their hands at separate times to say they recognized witnesses at the stand. One juror said she recognized a testifying relative of Thomas' and another said he recognized a testifying employee from Community Partners. The defense agreed both jurors could continue sitting on the jury after they swore they would remain impartial before the court.

ECG: Atrial Flutter
Photo size: small | high
An ECG strip shows the presence of atrial flutter, which involves rapid contraction of the atria. Atrial flutter is indicated by a very rapid (250 to 350 beats per minute) rate and a "saw tooth" pattern. In this case, the ventricular (QRS) rate is also fast. A normal ECG strip is shown at the bottom for comparison.

Karos Online
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Karos Online Overview
Karos Online is a visually stunning fantasy MMORPG by NHN. The game's servers are actually located in Europe, but luckily there are no IP bans preventing North American users from enjoying the game. Karos Online boasts a robust in-game economy with a solid resource gathering and crafting system, as well as a unique two tiered progression system. The game was largely developed by the same folks that made AeriaGame's popular title 'Last Chaos', which isn't too surprising, as there are some similarities between the two games. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the game is its variety. Karos Online has six playable classes, each of which as two 'job advancements' at level 15. Those looking for a new and feature-rich fantasy MMORPG should be quite satisfied with Karos Online, as it's certainly one of the most polished MMORPGs of 2009. The game's six starting classes are:
Mystic [F] – Mystics are the traditional 'offensive' magic user class in Karos. At level 15 they can become either 'Mages' or 'Clerics'.
Bow Mistress [F] - As the name implies, Bow Mistresses are basically archers. They are excellent at dealing physical damage from a distance. At level 15 they can become either 'Archers' or 'Rangers'.
Blader [M] -As the name implies, Bladers are a powerful melee class who wield large 2H weapons. At level 15 they can become either 'Swordsman' or 'Spearman'.
Paladin [F] – Not yet available in the game.
Rogue [M] – Rogues are a melee-oriented class with high evasion and damage, but low defense and hitpoints. At level 15 they can become either 'Assassins' or 'Duelists'.
Sorceress [F] - The sorceress class is capable of casting powerful debuff and curse spells. At level 15 they can become 'Banshees' or 'Spellbinders'.
Gunner [M] - The Gunner class in Karos Online use their powerful guns to deal as much damage as possible to their opponents. Their attacks are slow, but very powerful. They also utilize traps to deal additional damage to their enemies.

Karos Online Review
By Omer Altay
Karos Online is 3D, fantasy MMORPG published by NHN. The game is set in the vast, open world of Asmara. I say 'Open World' for two reasons. First, there's very little 'zoning' in Karos; instead players can move in and out of cities and areas without going through any loading screens, except when entering dungeons. Secondly, the environments in Karos just feel more immersive; as buildings in the distance are massive and clearly visible, the tree leaves are blown by the wind and the water graphics are gorgeous. Strictly 'graphics-wise', Karos Online is quite a masterpiece. The game's graphics vaguely resemble the visuals in games like Lineage 2 and Perfect World, except a tad crisper. Karos Online has a lot more to offer than just visuals though.
Character Creation… A Bore..
Like many other free-to-play MMORPGs – the folks behind Karos Online really didn't put too much effort in the game's character creation and customization options. The game has six playable classes – Mystic, Bow Mistress, Paladin, Rogue, Sorceress and Blader. Most of the class names are self explanatory; Bladers are 'Warriors' while the Bow Mistresses are 'Archers'. The only confusing two classes are Sorceress and Mystic. The sorceress specializes in 'debuff' and 'curse' spells while the Mystic is more concerned about dealing damage. The classes in Karos Online are unfortunately gender-locked, meaning players cannot change their genders. All sorceresses, blade mistresses, paladins and mystics are female, while all bladers and rogues are male. Each of the game's six playable classes can advance into one of two new jobs at level 15, which is explained on the overview tab. The actual avatar customization options extremely limited, as the game offers only three choices for face type, four choices for hair type and eight choices for hair colors. That's the extent of the game's customization options.
Little Direction
One small complaint I have with Karos Online is that the game has very little direction. Upon first creating a character and actually entering the game, players aren't presented with any cutscenes, quests or really much of anything to 'ease' them into things. Players will basically have to just start grinding away or grabbing random quests from nearby NPCs, which isn't bad in and of itself, but I feel that when I play a game for the first time, the game should at least try to grab my attention. Dungeons and Dragons Online, for example, did this quite well; the entire first twenty minutes or so of the game were heavily story-driven and a bit linear, which made getting into the game easy. Even GhostX, with its terribly poor English translations, had a linear, story-driven introduction which helped players ease into the game. In its current state, Karos Online basically throws the player into the game without any background or direction. Now, this isn't exactly a big deal for experienced MMORPG gamers, as most of us already know the 'deal'; talk to nearby NPCs, grab quests, kill monsters, level up and distribute skill points. But those 'casual' gamers who haven't played many MMORPGs before likely won't stick around long enough to discover some of the game's finer aspects.
Core Gameplay and Progression
The core gameplay and combat mechanics in Karos Online don't deviate much from the generic MMORPG formula found in games like Shaiya and Last Chaos. The only aspect of the game's combat that deviates from most games is the pacing; combat feels a tad slow-paced in Karos Online. On the positive side, the progression system in Karos Online is quite unique and interesting. Players gain experience as they defeat enemies and complete quests, but they also gain 'FP" or 'Fletta point'. These fletta points increase independently from experience, as players can gain multiple FPs before leveling up once. The actual leveling system is fairly straightforward; every level yields slightly better stats and a single skill point. On the other hand, every "FP" can be used for one of two things. The main use for Fletta Points is to increase certain attributes. Some of the attributes that FP can be used to increase are Yang, Yin, Air, Fire, Wood, Earth and Water. For example, every FP point put into 'water' increases movement speed by 4%, while every point into Yang increases HP regeneration by 1. The fact that everyone is free to spend their FP points whichever way they like adds an interesting new layer of variety to Karos Online. Fletta Points can also be used to enhance equipment by bottling up FP and spending them on item enhancements.
Quest. Don't Grind.
The most important piece of advice I can give to anyone thinking about playing Karos Online is to complete as many quest as possible. Grinding away at monsters without any active quests is an enormous waste of time in this game; killing monsters yields an extremely small amount of experience. I remember when I was level 4, killing a level 3 enemy pushed me from 426/1680 to 436/1680 experience. At this rate I would need to kill 168 monsters to level up, and with the slow-paced combat, that would take a very long time. Completing quests on the other hand is really the only way to gain experience at a moderate rate. Handing in two simple 'kill quests' at level 4 brought me from 436/1680 to 1356/1680 experience. However, while experimenting, I did learn that grinding is an efficient method of gaining FP. Either way, the best way to progress is to complete quests, as in the process of completing a quest you'll need to kill countless monsters anway, so you'll gain both FP and XP. Oftentimes quests are repeatable as well, so make sure to do some of the more rewarding quests a few times.
More Inventory Space Please!
One small gripe I have with Karos Online is that the game doesn't start players off with nearly enough inventory space. The one starting bag everyone begins with only has twenty inventory slots. This may seem like a lot, but since every enemy seems to drop at least 3-4 different kinds of items (and quest items take up space), inventory can become scarce extremely fast. Personally, I found myself running to an NPC to unload my junk once every five minutes or so. The only way to gain more inventory space is to either purchase additional bags from another player or craft them yourself. Few players are willing to sell these bags, as they're fairly difficult to craft, and the materials required to craft them aren't common.
Fishing, Mining and More!
The two resource gathering skills in Karos Online are fishing and mining. Both of these skills have their own uses. Fishing is useful for obtaining the materials required to craft potions. Potions can be incredibly useful when exploring dungeons without a healer. Players can fish without actually being near their computer as well, making it well worth checking out. Mining, on the other hand, is primarily for crafting weapons and armor. Rare ores can are required to craft the best pieces of equipment. PvP in Karos Online is quite simple. Players can turn PK mode on or off at any time. While in PK mode, players can attack other players who are also in PK mode. Keep in mind, though; PvP is only available to those level 10+.
Great Interface
Perhaps one of Karos Online's strongest points is its excellent interface. Just about everything from the experience bar, to the hotkey icons looks 'sleek' and modern. The map itself is also extremely helpful ; quest locations and quest monsters are clearly labeled, making it extremely difficult to ever get 'lost'. The English translations are also unusually good. Most free-to-play MMOs tend to have a lot of broken English, but from my experience everything from quest and item descriptions have easy to understand and well-translated text.
Final Verdict – Good
Karos Online is an extremely polished fantasy MMORPG that offers many interesting features. The game's gorgeous graphics, unique two-tiered progression system and many playable classes make it well worth checking out, but the game does little to push the genre forward. Anyone who has already played either Shaiya, Last Chaos or practically any other 3D Fantasy MMORPG won't find much new in Karos. Combat is a bit slow-paced, and the game doesn't have nearly as many 'skills' as it should, but despite this, Karos Online is still an overall solid fantasy MMORPG.

4.a. dispatch-conf
dispatch-conf is a tool that aids in merging the
._cfg0000_<name> files. ._cfg0000_<name>
files are generated by Portage when it wants to overwrite a file in a directory
protected by the CONFIG_PROTECT variable.
With dispatch-conf, you are able to merge updates to your configuration
files while keeping track of all changes. dispatch-conf stores the
differences between the configuration files as patches or by using the RCS
revision system. This means that if you make a mistake when updating a config
file, you can revert to the previous version of your config file at any time.
When using dispatch-conf, you can ask to keep the configuration file
as-is, use the new configuration file, edit the current one or merge the changes
interactively. dispatch-conf also has some nice additional features:
Make certain you edit /etc/dispatch-conf.conf first and create the
directory referenced by the archive-dir variable.
Code Listing 1.1: Running dispatch-conf
# dispatch-conf
When running dispatch-conf, you'll be taken through each changed config
file, one at a time. Press u to update (replace) the current config file
with the new one and continue to the next file. Press z to zap (delete)
the new config file and continue to the next file. Once all config files have
been taken care of, dispatch-conf will exit. You can also press q
to exit any time.
For more information, check out the dispatch-conf man page. It tells you
how to interactively merge current and new config files, edit new config files,
examine differences between files, and more.
Code Listing 1.2: Reading the dispatch-conf man page
$ man dispatch-conf
4.b. etc-update
You can also use etc-update to merge config files. It's not as simple to
use as dispatch-conf, nor as featureful, but it does provide an
interactive merging setup and can also auto-merge trivial changes.
However, unlike dispatch-conf, etc-update does not preserve
the old versions of your config files. Once you update the file, the old version
is gone forever! So be very careful, as using etc-update is
significantly less safe than using dispatch-conf.
Code Listing 2.1: Running etc-update
# etc-update
After merging the straightforward changes, you will be prompted with a list of
protected files that have an update waiting. At the bottom you are greeted by
the possible options:
Code Listing 2.2: etc-update options
Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number.
(-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all remaining files)
(-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i'):
If you enter -1, etc-update will exit and discontinue any further
changes. If you enter -3 or -5, all listed configuration
files will be overwritten with the newer versions. It is therefore very
important to first select the configuration files that should not be
automatically updated. This is simply a matter of entering the number listed to
the left of that configuration file.
As an example, we select the configuration file /etc/pear.conf:
Code Listing 2.3: Updating a specific configuration file
Beginning of differences between /etc/pear.conf and /etc/._cfg0000_pear.conf
End of differences between /etc/pear.conf and /etc/._cfg0000_pear.conf
1) Replace original with update
2) Delete update, keeping original as is
3) Interactively merge original with update
4) Show differences again
You can now see the differences between the two files. If you believe that the
updated configuration file can be used without problems, enter 1. If you
believe that the updated configuration file isn't necessary, or doesn't provide
any new or useful information, enter 2. If you want to interactively
update your current configuration file, enter 3.
There is no point in further elaborating the interactive merging here. For
completeness sake, we will list the possible commands you can use while you are
interactively merging the two files. You are greeted with two lines (the
original one, and the proposed new one) and a prompt at which you can enter one
of the following commands:
Code Listing 2.4: Commands available for the interactive merging
ed: Edit then use both versions, each decorated with a header.
eb: Edit then use both versions.
el: Edit then use the left version.
er: Edit then use the right version.
e: Edit a new version.
l: Use the left version.
r: Use the right version.
s: Silently include common lines.
v: Verbosely include common lines.
q: Quit.
When you have finished updating the important configuration files, you can now
automatically update all the other configuration files. etc-update will
exit if it doesn't find any more updateable configuration files.
4.c. quickpkg
With quickpkg you can create archives of the packages that are already
merged on your system. These archives can be used as prebuilt packages. Running
quickpkg is straightforward: just add the names of the packages you want
to archive.
For instance, to archive curl, orage, and procps:
Code Listing 3.1: Example quickpkg usage
# quickpkg curl orage procps
The prebuilt packages will be stored in $PKGDIR
(/usr/portage/packages/ by default). These packages are placed in

How to Select
How to Shop for Kitchen Faucets
How many times a day do you turn on the water faucet in the kitchen? Dozens? Hundreds? It is difficult to imagine what the average kitchen faucet has to endure over its lifetime, so it needs to be high quality to last through the years. This will minimize the possibility of leaky faucets and reduce your repair bills.
Although kitchen faucets come in numerous styles, there are few basic designs. Many faucets come with a hot and cold tap, but rather than getting a two-handle unit, choose a single-levered faucet. They are usually pricier than models with two handles and a spout between them but are convenient to grasp and adjust with one hand and can be easily used by children and arthritic sufferers.
Single-handle faucets use a ball, cartridge, or disc mechanism, while two-handle units are disk, cartridge, or compression. Out of these kinds of kitchen faucets, compression models are the most prone to dripping since they use seals or washers than can wear out. Disk-type units are usually the strongest and most trouble-free, and cartridge-type faucets with an easily replaceable cartridge allow for easy repairs.
It is typical to install a separate sprayer in addition to the main faucet but if you prefer your kitchen to be minimalist, there are modern combination units with a sprout that can be pulled out to become a sprayer. Such a model makes it easier to water plants, notably those in large pots, and can be used to rinse out the sink. And if you need to fill high pots, pans, and kettles, consider a traditional gooseneck faucet that can fill even lobster-cooking pots.
Kitchen faucets are available in different styles and finishes, including polished chrome, polished copper, brass, brushed nickel, brushed chrome, brushed bronze, black iron, powder enamel and antique brass. Most of these units have a contemporary appearance with polished chrome being the most common finish since it is durable and suits any kitchen décor. However, there are models with antique styling and finish that work especially well in a traditional kitchen. Moreover, brushed or patina finishes might be preferable to polished shiny surfaces since they do not show water spots.
With kitchen faucets, price is typically an accurate indicator of quality. Avoid faucets equipped with plastic handles or shells of dubious durability. Do not get lured by the price tag: high quality kitchen faucets will repay you in continued trouble-free operation, water savings and low maintenance.

Protein Means Power and a Whole Lot More
Lean Lingo
Amino acids are called the "building blocks of life." Protein from food is digested into amino acids. The amino acids are used to build and maintain muscles and other tissues. They are also important in enzyme and hormone production.
In our world of fast foods and convenience foods, eating high-quality protein can be hard to do. Yet without protein, your hair could fall out, your fingernails could crumble, and your muscles could deteriorate into, well, mush. You are unlikely to reach your ideal size—and stay energetic—without a steady diet of high-quality protein.
Think about it. In the right quantities, steak is really good for you! So are almost all lean meats, eggs, and cheeses. Proteins give you energy, and your body needs them to manufacture hormones, antibodies, enzymes, and tissues. Your body cannot be healthy without the essential amino acids found in protein. They're called "essential" because your body can't manufacture them on its own. You need a regular dose of essential amino acids in your diet. Yes, your body needs "nonessential" amino acids, but it can synthesize them.
After water, protein makes up the largest portion of your body weight. This includes muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, glands, nails, and hair. Protein is needed in your diet so that your body is healthy and functions properly.
Essential and Nonessential Amino Acids
The essential amino acids can be obtained only by consuming certain protein-containing foods. They are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. All of the other amino acids are nonessential, meaning that they are manufactured in the body. In fact, some are created from the aforementioned essential amino acids.
In the simplest of terms, all of this translates to one critical point: you need to eat protein. So how do you select which proteins to add to your eating plan?
Complete or Incomplete, Take Your Pick
Lean Lingo
Complete proteins are foods that contain balanced amounts of all the essential amino acids that the human body needs to build and repair muscle and body organs. These are the animal proteins, such as meat, fish, eggs, and cheese. Incomplete proteins contain only some of the essential amino acids, but could offer nutritional value. These include soy, legumes, and grain. Food combining means eating more than one incomplete protein at a meal, which could provide adequate protein, but may not.
Protein-containing foods come in two versions:
Complete proteins contain all the essential amino acids. These proteins are found in meats, fish, seafood, poultry, eggs, and dairy.
Incomplete proteins contain only some of the essential amino acids. Foods with incomplete protein include grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and some leafy vegetables. Soybean products, such as tofu, tempeh, and soy protein isolate are not complete proteins because they're low or deficient in methionine.
Some individuals have difficulty digesting protein because their bodies don't secrete sufficient proteases and hydrochloric acid. Clues that you might not be digesting protein well include soft, peeling, or splitting fingernails or a heavy, unpleasant feeling after eating protein. Certain dietary supplements, discussed in Taking Supplements for Weight Loss, can help.

Thread: SF Positivity Cover Art Thread
October 14th, 2011, 10:55 AM #31
Just a little housekeeping, folks --
1) Try to keep the images at a manageable size smaller than 1200x800. Lots of folks are viewing the forums on laptops with somewhat smaller screens and some of us even pop in on our smart phones.
2) Give a quick look-over of the thread before posting a new image to be sure the one you want to post hasn't been posted already. Ahem...Vinge's Children of the Sky (This is coming from somebody who is guilty of the crime himself, no cookies for me!)
3) Try not to pull the cover again in a response when quoting, MOST especially if you are responding directly below the cover/image you like.
A recent cover I quite like is Stephan Martinieri's cover for David Weber's hokey but fun Out of the Dark:

ASIH calls for repeal of Tennessee's antiscience law
At its 2014 meeting held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists adopted a resolution encouraging the state of Tennessee to repeal the antiscience law — nicknamed the "monkey bill" — adopted there in 2012.
Update on Ohio's antiscience bill
A sponsor of Ohio's House Bill 597, which if enacted would require the state's science standards to "prohibit political or religious interpretation of scientific facts in favor of another," confirmed that local school districts would be allowed to teach creationism along with evolution and global warming denial alongside climate science.
Antiscience legislation in Ohio
Ohio's House Bill 597, introduced in the House of Representatives on July 28, 2014, would, if enacted, require the state's science standards to "prohibit political or religious interpretation of scientific facts in favor of another" — and a sponsor of the bill told a newspaper that it would allow local school districts to teach creationism alongside evolution and global warming denial alongside climate science.

NCSE was involved in developing a series of guides for educators to use the National Climate Assessment to teach about the causes, effects, and risks of and possible responses to human-caused climate change.

How to Select
How to select HVAC Dampers
A HVAC Damper is a valve that regulates [and oftentimes] stops the air flow in a ventilation system. Such fittings are installed to cut down the unnecessary applications or rooms that aren't occupied from the actual flow of air. This provides homeowners with the opportunity to save some money.
To select the perfect HVAC damper for your particular system you need to specify where it will be installed. Such accessory is oftentimes installed inside a chimney, air handler or duct. If you need to cut an unused room of the house from the central air-conditioning, you should select the type of damper that can be manually controlled. Backdraft dampers are perfect to regulate the air temperature and flow for room-by-room connections.
Size and design are the next factors to consider. Selecting the damper that will fit your ventilation applications is crucially important for the correct operation of the entire system. Carefully measure the diameters of all applications and then select the damper with the exact same measurements.
Another important factor to consider is the control option of your future HVAC damper. The only types that exist today are automatic and manual. A dumper with manual operation is turned by a handle that is installed outside of duct. Such types require your direct attention. Automatic HVAC dampers feature more convenient controls. They are usually equipped with a pneumatic or electric motor. In addition to that, you can connect them to a thermostat or an automatic system that regulates all of the devices in the building. While manual damper has lower price and suits all new and old ventilation systems, automatic dampers increase the convenience but also the amount of money you will need to spend on their installation.
The material from which the HVAC dampers are made of should be resistant to a constantly changing environment. What it means is that a damper should offer the same high level of operation in wet, warm and cold conditions. Galvanized steel is the best material to fit such requirements.
When you have found the best option to suit your system, spend a couple of more minutes to analyze its price. What you need to know is that the most expensive HVAC dumpers are oftentimes not the best options and vice versa. All of the top brands that manufacture HVAC equipment offer various options for all price categories. Look for a damper that has affordable price but comes from a well-known brand, because top companies offer warranty for every item they produce.

Despite his origins as a d**k-drawing wiseass in Superbad, Jonah Hill has sought to establish himself as a serious actor. Hill has shed a few pounds and successfully branched into the limelight as a dramatic star, with an Oscar-nominated performance in Moneyball alongside Brad Pitt and an upcoming role in the Leonardo DiCaprio drama The Wolf Of Wall Street... yet he still manages to pop up in a slew of hilarious films like with his recent blockbuster This Is The End.
But with all this accomplished, what's the chubby, Jewfro-survirvor to tackle next?
Well, Hill revealed in an intimate interview with Bullett that he will soon deviate from his acting legacy and begin to work as a director. He described the script for the film that is currently in the editing stage, stating: "It focuses on what it's like to work in a field where immaturity is not only allowed, but also encouraged."
It's awesome to hear that Hill is fully embracing this newfound glory as a well-respected man in the entertainment industry outside the acting realm. He spoke on his transition to his directorial debut, revealing, "I used to want to be an actor, then a dramatic actor, now a director. But more than anything–more than being a movie star who acts like a rock star–now I just want to be good."
Mr. Hill, you've got it going on and yeah, you're more than good. If your directorial style is on par with your iconic role in Moneyball, we whole-heartedly promise we'll buy a ticket to catch your film.

Federal agents still raid distilleries much like they did during Prohibition, and making any amount of moonshine at home is not only illegal, it's a felony that can carry up to five years in prison. The result is a market dominated by a few big names, where would-be craftsmen are forced to hide their work.
And yet, despite the danger, America is in the midst of "moonshine renaissance," in which a new wave of hipster hobbyists has joined with old-time 'shiners to flout the law and do what they love to do.Read »

Why do so many of these articles include comments like "unfortunately this experimental and unfinished work isn't in the mainline tree" - feature branches exist for good reason, we don't want stuff like this in mainline until it is ready.
Phoronix: Nouveau Can Do OpenCL Compute For Open-Source NVIDIA
There's another big accomplishment within the open-source graphics camp: Nouveau developers now having an initial working OpenCL implementation for NVIDIA GeForce graphics hardware on the driver that the Linux community developed themselves via reverse-engineering without NVIDIA's support...
Why do so many of these articles include comments like "unfortunately this experimental and unfinished work isn't in the mainline tree" - feature branches exist for good reason, we don't want stuff like this in mainline until it is ready.
And to add insult to injury, later link that article in the next negative one with 'the nouveau developers have other significant problems to worry about'. It's really aggravating, especially in the case of nouveau.
So does not having an LLVM --> TGSI backend being a significant problem imply that r600g will be able to run OpenCL soon? (Since Tom already published that bit.)
Amazing work by the nouveau guys! Kodus for the LaTeX presentation!
The word you're looking for is schizophrenic. It's only a matter of time before Michael completely backtracks on all the good stuff in this article when telling us how slow / buggy the new experimental code is and how it doesn't work on a Geforce 2 card or something similar. Then of course he'll run something using the new experimental reclocking feature (hidden behind a kernel boot flag because it really isn't ready yet) and complain that it's faster but causes problems
I see no connectivities between his approach, where Glisse correctly said this stuff is not in mainline for a reason, and you accusing him for being schizophrenic. Shizophrenics have divided personality - where is it?
Phoronix is focused on newest technologies around opensource and graphics, I see nothing wrong in what he is doing!! He is doing it very good and no one is perfect.
for me the work on openCL in opensource drivers is just awesome!
That said, my main desktops (all 3) are running AMD CPUs with Radeon GPUs (HD3200, 6850, and a Llano), so I'm REALLY looking forward to when I can use Mesa + OpenCL, because Gnome Shell and Catalyst still don't get along.
Of course, that doesn't make the suggestion that Michael has Schizophrenia or any sort of personality disorder, as a joke or otherwise, any more tasteful.
I wonder if Nouveau is capable of un-crippling the double precision performance cap imposed by the binary driver on GeForce cards. Or is that in the firmware? Normally, only normal precision runs at full speed. DP is capped to 1/8th, unless you buy a Tesla or Quadro.
If this is indeed possible, then Linux (through Nouveau) is going to be a very Big Thing for everyone seeking high GPGPU performance on cheap hardware.

Over the past three seasons, Hernando High has already left its mark on the county record book.
The Leopards have advanced to at least the Elite Eight in each of those years, something no other county team has ever achieved.
A year ago the question was whether Hernando could continue its recent run of success after graduating six All-County selections.
But the Leopards reloaded rather than rebuilt, and now they have a realistic chance of adding on to what they've done in 2010-12.
They've retained the services of two Division I signees, shortstop Christian Arroyo (University of Florida) and pitcher Brandon Lawson (USF).
Add in two other All-County selections from last season, Jake Johnson and Trae Ratliff, and Hernando possess a strong senior core under longtime head coach Tim Sims.
"It's a veteran group that's been around a lot of years," Sims said. "Most of them are two-year starters and this is their third year. We're settling in pretty good. The senior leadership is pretty good.
"The competition (for positions) has been very good, as well. I'm pleased with how we've started."
Beginning his 18th year at the helm, and his fifth since returning from a two-year hiatus, Sims is five away from matching his mentor, Ernie Chatman, for second on the school's all-time wins list and needs 10 more to break the 300 barrier.
Coming off an 18-11 campaign in which they finished runner-up in Class 5A, District 7, the Leopards along with Eustis appear district favorites once again.
However, Tavares ended up taking the 5A-7 title last season, knocking off the Panthers and Leopards in consecutive upsets before falling to Hernando in the regional semifinals.
"If we're not in the toughest district in the state, it's pretty close," Sims said. "We have to bring our 'A' game as a team and individuals every night.
"It's a new team every year. This is a senior class with a lot of experience, but you've got to go out and prove it. If we do that every day on a daily basis, where we improve from start to finish, we've got a chance to be competitive."
The Leopards' fortunes largely rest on the right arm of Lawson, the 2012 Hernando Today Player of the Year.
As a junior, in his first year playing for Hernando, he collected the county Triple Crown in pitching, leading in wins with an 8-3 mark, ERA (1.87) and strikeouts (100).
Additionally he served as the team's cleanup hitter, and center fielder when not on the mound, hitting .322 with three home runs and 21 runs batted in.
Arroyo, a slick-fielding infielder who hit .306 with 16 RBI and 25 runs scored last year, made offseason headlines as the tournament MVP while helping Team USA win the XXV IBAF 18U Baseball World Championship in Seoul, South Korea.
Ratliff, who this week signed with St. Johns River State College in Palatka, proved himself a more-than-capable arm behind Lawson compiling a 4-3 record, 2.23 ERA and 59 strikeouts as a junior.
Johnson has been one of the best bats in the area for the last two seasons, averaging .425, smacking eight doubles and two homers, and driving 22 runs while scoring 21 as a junior.
Having spent last year behind the plate, Johnson will shift to first base in a move Sims said improves the team's defense and Johnson's stock in the eyes of college scouts.
Like Hernando, Springstead boasts a solid core of returnees, including three senior All-County picks in first baseman/pitcher Brandon Brosher, shortstop/pitcher Ryan Nicoll and utility man Nic Pasarela, plus junior second baseman Blake Laferty.
But the Eagles have a new headman in the dugout in Jim Diven, and he hopes to improve upon a turmoil-filled 13-9 showing the previous season.
"Starting at a new place is not like being there for a few years," said Diven, who had two sons play for Springstead the past three seasons. "There are a lot of things to do. But it's going pretty good. I think the team is getting used to the new program."
Brosher, who signed with D-I Oral Roberts University in the offseason, has been the county's finest power hitter the last two years, coming off a season in which he hit .403 with four home runs and 19 RBI.
He's also been one of the better pitchers, though arm trouble limited him to 19 innings last year.
Nicoll is no slouch, either, the two-time All-County pick hitting .380 and scoring 30 runs with 17 driven in out of the leadoff spot a year ago.
Having gone 3-1 with a 2.44 ERA on the mound as a junior, Nicoll will join Brosher to head what Diven promises will be a deep pitching staff.
Pasarela (.319, 22 runs in 2012) and Laferty will help shore up the infield, and the addition of senior Will Perdomo gives the Eagles another option at third and a hard-throwing closer.
"If we play to our potential, I believe we'll win the district," Diven said. "If we go through the season and stay as a team and continue to jell as we have so far, we definitely have a shot to do that."
Central head coach Al Sorrentino, whose Bears reside in 6A-6 along with Springstead, believes the Eagles are the district favorite by virtue of their experience.
The Bears, 10-14 last year, are a young group, with one returning All-County player in senior third baseman/second baseman Zack Taylor (.379, 19 runs in 2012).
Trevor McKenna (2-7, 3.87 ERA, 41 strikeouts) is at the front of a pitching staff devoid of seniors. In fact, the roster as a whole contains seven sophomores.
Sorrentino says his team will rely on pitching and defense, and because the rest of the district beyond Springstead – Citrus, Lecanto and Ocala-West Port – is likewise generally inexperienced, he has high expectations.
"I think we can be one of the top two teams in the district by the end of the year," Sorrentino said. "Our goal is to make the playoffs this year.
"Our pitching needs to stay healthy and like anybody we've got to avoid injuries to key guys. And we have play smart baseball. We can't have mental lapses that end up costing us runs and end up costing us games."
Vito Tambasco Sr. enters some rare company this season.
Dan Garofano was head coach of Nature Coast over its first four years. Since he departed in 2007, the Sharks have never had the same man at the helm for two consecutive seasons.
That dubious streak has come to end, as Tambasco returns hoping to lift the Sharks beyond their 7-16 performance in 2012.
"We lost nine seniors from last year," Tambasco said. "We're in rebuilding mode. I've got six seniors, but only two have played fulltime. The rest are juniors and sophomores.
"We hope like last year we can get some wins and be productive. We should be more competitive."
The pitching staff, featuring senior lefty Drue Brooks, and two right-handers, junior Chris Lake and sophomore Vito Tambasco Jr., figures to be the backbone of the club, like Hernando competing in 5A-7.
"Time is going to tell. I think we're going to do fine and progress as the year goes on," Coach Tambasco said. "It's a very good group of kids. They're close together, they play together."
While the Sharks attempt to reclaim their former glory, Weeki Wachee is just trying to gain a foothold in its second varsity season.
With essentially the same roster back, the Hornets (0-21 in 2012) will lean on players such as sophomore C.J. Flaherty and junior Josh Rivera, as well as senior pitchers Dustin Bauer and Cody Hammond, while trying to make some noise in 4A-6.
"I have high expectations. I know the guys have high expectations, as well," Weeki Wachee head coach Patrick McHugh said. "We're learning. We're still very young, maybe not grade-wise but in terms of experience on the varsity level. We've made huge strides, but we have to show it on the field.
"We've come into an identity offensively. We understand with the size of our home field, we're not going to be a bunch of power hitters. We've got to play small ball and build our team around speed and pitching."
HCA is rebuilding in the truest sense of the word. A program that went to the Sweet 16 three times from 2006-09 has hung by a thread recently, and will play as an independent for the second year in a row. The Lions went 0-8 last season.
New head coach Tony Alvarez, an assistant on the team last year, wants to change the culture. However, with an 11-man roster roughly half-comprised of middle schoolers, there will be growing pains.
"Right now we're making small improvements. It's definitely a work in progress," Alvarez said. "We're trying to lay the foundation for the future, assemble the building blocks of a program; not just put a team together.
"If my guys come to practice consistently every day and listen, I know they'll work hard, I'd consider that a step in the right direction. I'm not measuring this season on wins and losses."

Batman's sidekick Robin to die
POSTED: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 2:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - 2:04am
CNN — Tough times are ahead for the Dark Knight.
DC Comics announced on Monday that Damian Wayne, Batman's current sidekick, will die in Wednesday's Batman, Incorporated #8.
Having taken on the role of Robin since 2006 (and at the age of ten), Damian is not just the latest character to go by that altar ego (the fifth, for those counting). He's also Bruce Wayne's son.
Writer Grant Morrison introduced the concept that Bruce had a son he never knew in recent years in the "Batman" comic books.
It turns out that the Joker's recent kidnapping and torture of Batman's "family" (including all of the previous Robins) was just a prelude to this.
In a statement, Morrison said, "This master theme of damaged and ruined families was nowhere more in evidence than in the creation of Damian, the first 'Son of Batman' to be acknowledged in the canon. In many ways this has been Damian's story as much as it has been the story of Bruce Wayne and it's a story that had its end planned a long time ago -- for what son could ever hope to replace a father like Batman, who never dies?"
Morrison considers this story to be the finale of a years-long Bat-epic in which he explored nearly every aspect of the character.
Damian is not the first Robin to die, however. The second Robin, Jason Todd, died in a controversial 1988 story where readers called in to vote on the Boy Wonder's fate. (Jason was resurrected eight years ago.)
Reaction on Twitter to the announcement was mostly negative, though Damian certainly had his share of critics.
Those mourning Damian's loss may take solace in Morrison's response to the New York Post when asked if Damian might also return: "You can never say never in a comic book... Batman will ultimately always have a partner."
