Short for "Do It Yourself", which is a phrase used when a person makes something themself rather than buying it pre-assembled. Often diyers try to do it themselves in an attempt to save money. Many an idiot as made the mistake of trying DIY only to have wasted time and money with no satisfying end result.
Oh no! Dad's going to try to fix the car DIY. Remember the last time he did that? Take cover!

Fact of the day
Information is the most powerful weapon.
Fact N°
Athletes play better when they're more confident.
Purdue University researchers had students putt a golf ball up a ramp and into a hole in two different settings. The researchers applied an optical illusion to the hole in both cases. In one test, there was a ring of circles projected around the hole to make it look smaller, while the other test used a ring of smaller circles to make the students perceive it as larger. There was no movement to the illusion that would distract the participants, but the students were 10% more likely to make the putt when the hole appeared larger. The effect of confidence seems to have a quantifiable effect on perception. Earlier research by the same study author demonstrated that softball players judged the ball to be larger than it was when they were hitting better.
Fact N°
Adrenaline makes events more difficult to remember.
Even as little as one minute of exertion is enough to significantly impair memory, according to researchers at the University of Portsmouth. The research followed 52 veteran police officers in Winnipeg, Manitoba, all of whom exercised regularly and were in healthy physical shape. All of the officers were given a briefing about a target individual. Half of the officers were then told to assault a heavy bag while the others watched. All of them then continued on to a manufactured but tense scenario in which they entered a trailer inhabited by a suspect who shouted at the officers while a number of weapons were visible in the area. The officers who had engaged in physical activity remembered less about the target individual than their peers, made more memory errors and remembered less of the information they'd been given prior to the heavy bag phase. Of the rested officers, 90% were able to remember at least one detail about a random passerby they'd seen on their way to the trailer, while two-thirds of the exerted officers didn't remember seeing him at all.
Fact N°
Thinking faster makes you take more risks.
It might not seem surprising that fast-paced thinking and risk-taking are linked, given that the same personality types are likely to engage in both, but new research indicates there might actually be a causal link, by which thinking faster actively makes you more risk-prone. Princeton scientists influenced participants' thought speeds with a standard test that involved reading random trivia off a computer screen as it flashed by at different speeds, then set them all to a gambling task that involved inflating balloons (they were paid by how much they could inflate the balloons without causing them to burst). The faster-thinking group took more risks. In a second experiment, participants watched clips from a non-narrative film at three different paces, then filled out questionnaires about the risky behavior they intended to indulge in in the coming months. Again, the fastest-paced group was the most risk-prone.
Fact N°
Daydreamers have better working memory.
Working memory is essentially the RAM of your brain; you use it for multitasking with active information, usually in the space of a few seconds. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science asked participants to perform tasks so simple that their minds would wander. They checked in to see how often the participants started daydreaming. Afterward, researchers asked the subjects to remember information while doing math problems, and found that participants whose minds had wandered more had better working memory. The implication, according to the study's authors, seems to be that daydreaming is the application of extra resources -- a mind with a considerable store of working memory is more likely to wander when that store isn't being occupied with anything.
Fact N°
Self-compassion is the most important element in getting over a breakup.
Self-compassion is similar to self-esteem, but more measured -- it involves realistic self-perceptions instead of ego-inflated ones, and forgiveness instead of criticism over personal shortcomings. A study in Psychological Science indicated that out of all the personality traits (including optimism, aptitude for relationships, self-esteem and resistance to depression), self-compassion is the single most helpful in rebounding from an emotionally difficult period such as a divorce. The study followed recently divorced participants (with a mean age of 40) and found that those high in self-compassion both recovered sooner from their divorces and felt better than their peers did a few months down the line.
Fact N°
Most phones are lost in coffee shops.
Smartphone security company Lookout compiled the data from the 9,000,000 phones its software located last year. The results show that most phones are lost at coffee shops, followed by bars, and the office. There is some regional variance in these results (most phones that disappear in New York are in a fast food restaurant; in Seoul, a martial arts dojo). Philadelphia ranked as the top city for lost phones, followed by Seattle.
Fact N°
You'll eat less food if it smells more strongly.
A study in the journal Flavour gauged the effect of scent on appetite by experimentally separating the two. Study participants were fed vanilla custard through a tube, while a separate tube delivered a variable aroma of vanilla custard (using the same cream flavor that was in the food itself). Researchers found that people took smaller bites when the vanilla odor was stronger, possibly being more sated just from the scent of the food. They suggested that food odors could be used to reduce portion sizes, and that stronger-smelling cuisine could result in a 5-10% decrease in the amount of food people eat per bite.

EnviroTech :: Regulatory EU Proposes Innovation Partnerships for the Supply of Raw Materials, Agricultural Products10:31 AM MST | March 6, 2012 | Alex Scott The European Commission has proposed that the region takes "decisive action" to accelerate innovation relating to key raw materials, and agricultural products, by starting-up two European Innovation Partnerships (EIPs). The two new EIPs have been created to tackle the whole research-development-innovation chain, bringing together public and private stakeholders across borders and sectors in order to accelerate the uptake of innovation, the commission says.

Revision as of 14:58, 2 July 2008
This page is aimed at any developers or coders interesting in understanding or extending the new Sequence Input/Output interface for BioPython, SeqIO.
The code has now been checked into CVS. Related Bug 2059 has been resolved.
The code is already available in BioPython 1.43.
Contents |
Reading new file formats
Note: The details are still subject to change
To add support for reading a new file format, you must implement an iterator that expects a just file handle and returns SeqRecord objects. You may do this using:
- An iterator class subclassing something from Bio.SeqIO.Interfaces
- A generator function (using the yield keyword; suitable for simple formats)
- An ordinary function which returns an iterator. For example, you could build a list of SeqRecords and then turn it into an iterator using the iter() function.
You may accept additional optional arguments (an alphabet for example). However there must be one and only one required argument (the input file handle).
What you use as the SeqRecord's id, name and description will depend on the file format. Ideally you would use the accesion number for the id. This id should also be unique for each record (unless the records in the file are in themselves ambiguous).
When storing any annotations in the record's annotations dictionary follow the defacto standard laid down by the GenBank parser... I should try and document this more.
If the supplied file seems to be invalid, raise a ValueError exception.
Finally, the new format must be added to the relevant dictionary mapping in Bio/SeqIO/__init__.py so that the Bio.SeqIO.parse() and Bio.SeqIO.read() functions are aware of it.
Writing new file formats
Note: The details are still subject to change
To add support for writing a new file format you should write a sub class of one of the writer objects in Bio.SeqIO.Interfaces
Then, the new format must be added to the relevant dictionary mappings in Bio/SeqIO/__init__.py so that the Bio.SeqIO.write() function is aware of your code.
If the supplied records cannot be written to this file format, raise a ValueError exception. Where appropriate, please use the following wording:
raise ValueError("Must have at least one sequence") raise ValueError("Sequences must all be the same length") raise ValueError("Duplicate record identifier: %s" % ...) ...
ToDo - Defined standard exceptions in Bio.SeqIO itself?
Possible additional formats
There are existing parsers in BioPython for the following file formats, which could be integrated into Bio.SeqIO or Bio.AlignIO if appropriate.
NBRF / PIR format
Bio.NBRF has a Martel parser for PIR sequence format, which is similar to the FASTA format. It would need addition work to return SeqRecords. It might be easier to extend to reuse the Bio.SeqIO fasta code instead.
There is also PSC documentation.
KEGG format
Can Bio.KEGG parse files in KEGG format?
IntelliGenetics / MASE alignment format
Bio.IntelliGenetics seems to use Martel parse MASE format like files into its own record object. It could be extended to return SeqRecord objects. There are already sample input files in Biopython for the unit tests, but these are clearly not multiple sequence alignments. See also this EMBOSS example:
And these pages about MASE files:
http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/help/formats.html http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Mase_multiple_alignment_format
Biopython-dev mailing list discussion: http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython-dev/2008-July/003933.html
MEME format
Bio.MEME has a parser for this file format, which at first glance looks like it could be treated like an alignment format.
BLAST results
Pairwise alignments from the BLAST suite could be turned into two SeqRecord objects with gapped sequences. Is this useful?
COMPASS pairwise alignment format
Bio.Compass can parse the pairwise alignments from COMPASS. The output is similar to BLAST in many ways. Again, is getting the results as SeqRecord objects useful?

Right. Consider this:
I buy something - lets say it's a commercial washing machine.
Then i build my own, copying the patented stuff that i had bought.
I claim it's fine to do this, because by buying the machine i got a license to use that patent.
That's obviously not how the patent systems works, it's just harder to figure out how it would apply to software. But I think the same applies - you have a license to use the patents in the particular driver that comes with the product, but creating your own clone which also uses the patent would not be possible.
Won't it still be possible to compile/build that module alone? Like compile mesa without s3tc and then compile just the module?
If yes then i don't see it becoming complicated, it gets easier as you are sure that the s3tc module will compile against your mesa
I like the idea of one big switch for those of us outside the US
This should be part of the S3TC should be part of mesa not a separate library - also for those complaining about compiling - are you doing the compiling or will you be getting the package from RPMFusion / PPA?
I always find it bazaar at the sheer number of folk on these forums that bitch and complain about development changes that only effect developers.Using xorg edgers doesn't make you a dev just to make clear. Developers do these changes to make their lives easier, the easier their lives are the more developing they can get done. Which is a win win for us.
there is some rumoring that mark shuttleworth will buy the floading point hdr+s3tc patent to bring freedome to the os driver world.
Is it time to restart the "non-us" repositories for debian ?
Hell yeah! And it would be even better if the distro installers automatically enabled/disabled that repository and installed relevant packages (marked as recommended by related standard packages) according to chosen locale so that users outside the reach of existing patent totalities could get complete multimedia support right out of the box.

You might try using a slightly larger thickness factor or a smaller pizza size.
The only other thing I can think of offhand is to work the dough more toward the edges to avoid a thin center.
Was there a textural difference in the center of the crust--like a crackery texture?
How did the pizzas taste and what were the main differences between the stone baked and screen baked pizzas?

The gun statistics speak for themselves
There is a lot of emotion surrounding the current debate about making our gun-control laws more rational, and not too many facts. The people calling for change aren't members of a lynch mob who want all sportsmen arrested and run out of town. And the true gun believers aren't all nut jobs clinging to assault rifles.

Kosher Meat
Veal Brisket and Cippolini Onions and Mushrooms |
by June Hersh, The Kosher Carnivore Lean and delicate veal brisket is a delicious alternative to beef brisket. Its subtle flavor marries well with a crisp white wine sauce fragranced with sweet cippolini onions and earthy mushrooms. Ingredients: 1 pound cippolini onions, root and end trimmed and peeled (small white onions or pearl onions can be substituted) Directions: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a braising pot. Cook and stir the onions, over medium heat until they begin to develop a medium brown color, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle with the herbs de Provence. Cook and stir until the mushrooms brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions and mushrooms with a slotted spoon and reserve. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil in the same pot that you cooked the onions and mushrooms, raise the heat to medium-high and sear the veal on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the veal to a plate. Deglaze the pan by pouring the wine and stock into the pot, scraping up the brown bits. Cook for several minutes before adding back the veal and its collected juices. Toss in the bay leaf and fresh thyme, if using. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add the reserved onions and mushrooms and continue cooking about 30 to 45 minutes or until the veal is fork tender. Remove the bay leaf and thyme twigs; they'll be easy to pick out. Place the veal on a plate and cover loosely with foil. Create a slurry by mixing 2 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, stir back into the pot and heat and repeat if necessary. If you are not serving the veal at once, refrigerate overnight. The veal will develop additional flavor and be even better the next day. It is easier to slice the veal when it is cold, then heat everything on low until cooked through. Notes: Yield: About 4 servings Side Note The spirited gravy and brisket can be spooned over simple broad noodles or homemade spaetzle. Look for a lean thin cut, just as you would a first cut beef brisket. It is small, but mighty and yields a very flavorful roast. Behind the Counter Have your butcher cut a brisket from the breast trimmed of all fat and bones. Alternate cuts Veal or lamb stew meat (-$). Feedback Mushrooms are funny little fungi sponges that soak up anything they mingle with, that includes liquid and flavor. To achieve browned mushrooms, you need high heat and less liquid. That's why you should not salt the mushrooms while sautéing, as that will encourage them to release water and create mushy mushrooms. To clean mushrooms use a lightly dampened paper towel to wipe away any dirt. White cultivated mushrooms are usually pretty clean; cremini (mini Portobello) mushrooms tend to be dirtier. You can rinse them under cold running water and then quickly dry them. Recipes: Meat, Veal Brisket, Kosher |

Docker Swarm makes Docker clustering blissfully simple, while providing lots of control over container scheduling -- no HA or fail-over yet, however.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
It's a well-known fact that deploying and managing anything at scale is hard. Docker is no different. However, the engineers at Docker recognize this and are working on three products to help: Docker Machine, Docker Compose, and Docker Swarm.
With a slate of new management, encryption, and data-security features for Office 365, Microsoft hopes to eliminate excuses for not using the cloud
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
To overcome emotional barriers to cloud computing, cloud providers often give customers complete control over their data, including encryption keys. Microsoft has been unveiling features in that vein for Azure, and yesterday, the company took a few more steps in that direction with Office 365.
According to a new survey, 75 percent of enterprise data remains structured, although modern data technologies are growing fast

This is definitely a good idea.
Phoronix: A Common Compositing Window Manager Specification
Martin Grä�lin, one of the KDE developers that works on the KWin window manager, when not working towards OpenGL 3.0 support for KWin in KDE SC 4.7 has been writing a draft specification for what he proposes as a unified specification for compositing window managers. Martin hopes for this to become a FreeDesktop.org specification and that KWin/Plasma, Compiz, and other compositing window managers would implement this common specification...
This is definitely a good idea.
This is great. Standardisation doesn't always have to mean 1 solution.
Very nice idea.
very reasonable and reduces unnecessary duplicate work
Great idea. Put it in an envelope, stick it in the time machine and send it back a few years.
This move should be the standard in Linux development. Give a common and uniform specification and then derive the software from it. This would incredibly help common work and reduce unnedeed duplicate work.

In this years FD, D/W are using new lifts except for the DF split lift. Also the step sequences look original. The feel of the program is very intense and passionate, something that is done well by them, but quite different from the tango or DF. I too, find the expression very impressive and natural, not forced at all. Of course, this kind of thing is a matter of opinion. Based on this, I don't think the ND is at all unoriginal or recycled.
Welcome to Golden Skate, Rhonepony!
Apparently, Tessa hasn't been counted as sitting on Scott's shoulders by 3 different tech panels this year-if she had been, the lift would be an illegal element, I think?
Here's a bookmark to the lift
Here's the wording on Illegal lifts for the Tech Panel handbook:
The penalty is a -2.00 deduction, and level 0 or 1 for the lift.The following movementsand/or poses during the lift are illegal:
Lifting hand(s) of the lifting partner higher than his head*;
Lying or sitting on the partners head;
Sitting or standing on the partners shoulder, back;
Lifting partner swinging the lifted partner around by holding the skate(s)/boot(s) or leg(s) only
with fully extended arm(s) or by holding the hand(s) with full arm extension by both partners;
Lifted partner in upside down split pose (with sustained angle between thighs more than 45
* It is not considered as an Illegal Lift Movement/Pose if:
the point of contact of the lifting hand/arm of the lifting partner with any part of the body of
the lifted partner is not sustained higher than the lifting partners head;
the lifting hand/arm which is used for support or balancing only or which touches any part
of the body of the lifted partner is not sustained by the lifting partner higher than his head
for more than 2 seconds.
** A brief movement through an upside down split pose (with any angle between thighs) will be
permitted if it is not established (sustained) or if it is used only to change pose.
The process for identifying an illegal lift is:
Perhaps the choreographic lift is also borderline, since Scott's hands end up higher than his head sometimes?Technical Specialist identifies
Technical Controller authorizes or corrects and deducts If there is an illegal movement during the execution of any element, the deduction for an illegal movement will apply and the element will receive Level 1 if the requirements for at least Level 1 are fulfilled. Otherwise the element will be called No Level. However, if both
Technical Specialists disagree with a correction on illegal elements asked for by the Technical Controller, the initial decision of the Technical Specialist and Assistant Technical Specialist stands.
In any case, 3 panels are OK with these 2 lifts.
Last edited by dorispulaski; 12-14-2012 at 06:02 AM.
Perhaps the key interpreted words are "Sitting or standing on the partners shoulders, back"
In this case, Tessa is on/over Scott's shoulders, chest. She is not technically sitting on his shoulders, since only her legs are hooked over the shoulders. If they had approached this lift from the back, her rear end would be on/over his back with the legs hooked over the shoulders.
Last edited by rvi5; 12-12-2012 at 11:11 PM.
After checking the requirements, I am more concerned about Scott's hands in the choreographic lift. When he leans back, his hands are higher than his head.
The other lift is risky. Any small slip, and Tessa will be sitting on Scott's shoulders or head, but I think the panels were right, and it is fine.
There are enough super big women in this world who can lift very small men. I just don't want to see it in figure skating. I think it was quite obvious that I was mocking the whole idea of a reverse lift. Why did they even need to introduce it in Ice Dancing in the first place? It would be better if they sticked with the Lady and the Man, like in Pairs.
Tessa is sitting on his shoulders, not just on/over his shoulders. And his both hands are higher than his head. If it were someone else, especially some junior team, they would likey get a deduction:
I have to agree with you-his hands are clearly over his head, and by the rules, the lift should have been judged an illegal element, if his hands were there over 2 seconds. And it looks to me like she was sitting on his shoulders. Which event was this photo from?
I would expect some team (not Zoueva obviously, to bring this up, because the total free dance deduction for an illegal lift on a rotational lift, drops the lift to, at best, level 1
with a -2 deduction. At GPF, it earned 5.43. A level one lift is worth 1.50 and a level 4 is worth 4.00, for a drop of 2.5 points, a drop of 4.5 points with the penalty. .
Last edited by dorispulaski; 12-14-2012 at 04:18 AM.
BTW, I'm not that fond of reverse lifts. The first I remember were A&P's but I suspect there were some before that.
At COR, I see why no one bothered. I&K, who placed second, were over 10 points behind in the FD alone, and it would not have made a difference.
If it were at the GPF, again, P&B were too far behind to benefit, either, but if D&W had a different coach, that coach might have pointed it out...
Sitting would likely involve Tessa's rear end in contact and supported by Scott's shoulders..like this. When you sit in a chair, your butt is in contact with the seat. What is the ISU's definition of sitting? If the lift position was reversed, you could argue her rear end was also supported by Scott's back. However, I don't see anything in the rules about the forward position. In your photo, Tessa's thigh is on Scott's shoulder, while her buttocks were on/over his chest. I suspect it may be impossible to get your buttocks onto someone's shoulder from that frontal position (without breaking his neck).
Last edited by rvi5; 12-13-2012 at 07:17 PM.
I can't be certain from that angle. The hand in question would be Scott's right hand, since that appears to be the supporting hand. His left hand appears to be just a loose hold on Tessa's wrist, which Scott may have been in the process of moving at the time the photo was taken. However, I agree they are taking risks which could catch up to them one day.

They should take that lift out.
A good argument for not sharing a coach with your closest rival.I would expect some team (not Zoueva obviously, to bring this up, because the total free dance deduction for an illegal lift on a combination lift, drops the lift to at best level 1
with a -2 deduction. At GPF, it earned 5.43. A level one lift is worth 1.50 and a level 4 is worth 4.00, for a drop of 2.5 points, -4.5 with the penalty. .
I like the final lift in V/M's Carmen - it goes perfectly with the crescendo of the music and increases the drama in this modern dance version of Carmen. The Russian audience loved it. Doubt that they would ever do a reverse lift - not their style.

The legal struggle triggered when the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power claimed it owned all of the water rights to Mammoth Creek continues with both Los Angeles and Mammoth arguing their case in courts and through media.
In the past few weeks, letters between Los Angeles and the Mammoth Community Water District have outlined sharp differences between the two agencies—and no solutions.
Los Angeles continues to assert it legally owns all of the water in Mammoth Creek, including the water that Mammoth uses for its daily needs. The city first made this assertion publicly late last year.
In a letter to the water district dated June 28, Los Angeles asserts it does not want to "take" the water Mammoth uses—but it does want Mammoth to consider paying Los Angeles for the water.
The water district in turn argues it was granted the water rights by the state and as such, does not need to pay Los Angeles.
The repercussions of the case, should it not be settled out of court—both sides continue to meet in mandatory settlement talks—could be far-reaching. If Los Angeles prevails, at minimum, Mammoth's water rates would increase.
But Mono County Supervisor Byng Hunt believes the damage could go much further.
"We have to keep an eye on this," he said Tuesday, as the county supervisors discussed the most recent round of letters between the water district and Los Angeles. "This could have repercussions all over Mono County. Water will become increasingly important in the future and we need to be very involved in this. This is not just about Mammoth."
Hunt said later he is worried that if L.A. wins, a legal precedent might be set that weakens the county's control over its water.
Mono County's attorneys are watching the process very closely, he said, and will get involved if necessary.
In the meantime, the water district's general manager, Greg Norby, who has been actively petitioning Legislature and Congressional representatives for support, recently released a timeline and schedule of upcoming interactions between the two agencies.
The court held a status conference meeting by phone July 3. Judge Garbolino (retired Placer County judge appointed by Judicial Counsel), Stuart Somach and Kelley Tabor of Somach/Simmons/Dunn (representing DWP), Janna Sidley (of Los Angeles City Attorney's Office), and Alan Lilly (representing MCWD) all participated.
During the course of the conference, the following orders were issued by Judge Garbolino:
• MCWD shall certify and file the administrative records in both cases on or before July 16. LADWP will pay MCWD costs of preparing these records (admin records have been prepared, but not "certified").Â
• LADWP shall file its opening briefs (one in each case) on or before Sept. 14.Â
• MCWD shall file its responsive briefs on or before Nov. 16.Â
• LADWP shall file its reply briefs on or before Dec. 21.
• The hearing on the merits in each case is scheduled for Jan. 29, 2013, beginning at 9 a.m., in the Mammoth Lakes courthouse. This hearing will be open to the public. It's expected to only take a day or so.Â
• Judge Garbolino will issue his decision shortly after the hearing (weeks not months).Â

Comments about TurfVent Heavy-duty Pull-type Aerator:
Aerate 1.5 acres of dense clayish soil w/ the 48" using a 23hp zero turn (900+ #), definitely needs 200# weight on it and holds up to it. Not sure if I would pull this with a smaller mower unless on completely flat ground with a more loamy soil w/ that weight. It seems to handle turning a 20' diameter without tearing the lawn up, but cannot back up w/o dropping the wheels. Ground (clayish) wasn't the softest, but was still able to pull 1-2" plugs, expect more earlier in spring.Make sure to double nut the transport wheel levers to the frame as mine kept coming loose the first time used, no problems after doing this.Beware of the yellow rubber handles as they slip off quite easily while trying to raise the wheels to transport mode, they work best to identify the lever so you don't walk into them. Wheels don't pivot easily into place w/ the weight on it, lift up the frame while doing this.Definitely more durable than the cheap stamped metal designs, cannot compare to the true professional grade aerators, only time will tell here. Keep it greased and I expect it to hold up. If you don't want to spend 2-3X for one, this is a good compromise.

Awesome New Banner Poster For 'Dredd' – Starring Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby & Lena Headey
Lionsgate has unleashed, via Collider, this top-notch banner for 'Dredd,' the upcoming film following the lawman of the future and frequent announcer of "I AM THE LAW." The neo-noir action film is directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point) from a script by Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Never Let Me Go, Sunshine). This new adaptation of Judge Dredd is said to be more faithful to the comic than the pants 1995 version that starred Sylvester Stallone. Set for release September 7th in the UK and September 21st in the US, 'Dredd' stars Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey, Deobia Oparei, Wood Harris, Jason Cope, and Domhnall Gleeson.
In DREDD, the future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.
During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighbourhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound's control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.
DREDD, is brought to life by the endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland (28 days later, Never Let Me Go) and acclaimed director, Pete Travis (End Game, Vantage Point). The movie stars Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings) Olivia Thirlby (Juno, No Strings Attached), Lena Headey (300, Brothers Grimm) and Domhnall Gleeson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Never Let Me Go). The film is produced by Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich of DNA Films (28 Weeks Later, Never Let Me Go) and the incredible score is created by Paul Leonard-Morgan (Limitless). DREDD, shot in 3D with stunning slow motion photography sequences, reunites audiences with the celebrated comic character, Judge Dredd, from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip.

KABUL, Afghanistan – The commanding general of International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan, Gen. John R. Allen, visited an art exhibit and book signing Sept. 16, featuring artwork of young gifted students.
The exhibit was organized in part by the local Marefat High School whose students had their artwork published in a book of Afghan proverbs under a project funded by a U.S. Embassy grant.
"You can really see the soul of the country in these pictures," said Allen, referring to the student's artwork, while touring the art exhibit. "Some of this work reminds me of the places I have been," commented Allen, looking at a painting of a caravan of Kuchi nomads in Afghanistan that reminded him of his time spent in Mongolia.
To show support for the education of Afghan children, Allen wrote a personal check for 10 annual scholarships amounting to $1,700. In response, the children and director of the Marefat High School, Aziz Royesh, presented a gift of a large painting that had reminded the general of Mongolia.
Allen's attention had been drawn to the Marefat High School fundraiser by Navy Capt. Edward Zellem, an Afghanistan/Pakistan (AFPAK) Hands program member and director of the ISAF Presidential Information Coordination Center detachment at the presidential palace in Kabul.
Zellem started to collect Dari proverbs while learning the language as a part of the program that was initiated by Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in 2009.
"Proverbs are a very important part of the Afghan culture," said Zellem, who worked with Marefat High School students to illustrate the book of 151 Dari proverbs collected and translated over the past 18 months. The initial publishing run and distribution is funded by a U.S. Embassy grant, with the first 40,000 complimentary copies distributed throughout Afghanistan as a "gift from the American people." To support the Marefat High School, which enrolled 2,600 boys and girls in 2011, Zellem has given the school a copyright license to republish and sell the book for profit in Afghanistan, with proceeds going to assist students of the school with their annual tuition.
"This school is progressive and independent thought is strongly encouraged,' said Zallem, explaining that the school was founded in 1994 in Pakistan by Afghan refugees, but moved in 2001 to Kabul after 9/11.
The school, which instructs girls as well as boys, allows them to think of themselves as individuals who will have future working careers, was attacked in 2008 by Mullahs because of its progressive curriculum.
"I want to be a journalist," said Jahira Jakari, a 15-year old young girl, who sold several of her paintings Friday.
The book and ongoing relationship with Marefat High School is a direct result of the AFPAK Hands program. AFPAK Hands is designed as a way to build trust with the military and local populations in those two countries and to speed the transition of responsibilities to the Afghan government.
In Zellem's case, his job is to provide and coordinate timely and accurate information on strategic level events to Afghan President Hamid Karzai and to facilitate situational understanding between the Presidential Palace and ISAF leadership.
Before departing the event, Allen patted Zellem on the shoulder and said, "You are not leaving until I finish my tour." The gift, depicting Kuchi nomads in Afghanistan, immediately found its new home in the halls of ISAF headquarters.
Caption 1: Gen. John R. Allen, commander of International Security Assistance Force (ISAR), shakes the hand of Marefat High School Principal Aziz Royesh, upon receiving a gift from the students of a painting that depicts people riding on camels in Mongolia. The gesture was in response to Gen. Allen's generous gift of $1,700 for 10 annual scholarships for the children of the school. The painting immediately found a new home in the headquarters of the ISAF building in Kabul.
Caption 2: Marefat High School Principal Aziz Royesh (left) shakes the hand of Gen. John R. Allen (right) upon the receipt of a personal check in the amount of $1,700 that will pay for 10 annual scholarships for Afghan children. Standing in the middle is Navy Capt. Edward Zellem, an Afghanistan/Pakistan (AFPAK) Hands program member, who introduced the general to students who illustrated a book of proverbs that was funded by a U.S. Embassy grant, with the first 40,000 complimentary copies distributed throughout Afghanistan.

Trip-protection insurance is popular with airline passengers who worry that a change in plans could mean forfeiture of airfare, prepaid accommodations and other upfront travel costs. Many air charter customers could benefit even more from such coverage, due to the amount of money at stake. Charter operators typically assess cancellation penalties that escalate as departure times approach.

When you board a private jet, where should you sit? The question may seem silly, until you pick the wrong seat someday. No, I'm not talking about being "safer near the tail," or any of the other nuggets of flying safety wisdom that have passed through the ages. It has more to do with making a prudent choice based on etiquette–social or corporate.
