Red Bull KTM Ajo's Luis Salom put in a brilliant last lap move on Maverick Viñales on the classic Assen circuit in Netherlands to seal the Moto3 Grand Prix at the Dutch TT and pick up his third consecutive win and extend his championship points lead. Viñales finishes second and Alex Rins makes it once again an all Spanish, all KTM podium.
The race was a hard fought battle, especially between the handful of riders that have emerged at the top of the table and once again it was a fine tactical race by Luis Salom. He was at third with three laps to go but he is now well known for pacing himself and setting up to make a surprise move in the closing stages.
But in the last stages of the race it was never certain if Salom would find his way through a tight competition between teammates Alex Rins and Alex Marquez who were all challenging for the minor podium places while Viñales looked reasonably comfortable out in front on his KTM RC250 GP Moto3 bike.
Then suddenly it was Salom tucked in behind the blue KTM of Viñales and everyone sensed he was biding his time until the chicane. True to form Salom put down the hammer at exactly the right moment, leaving Viñales neither time nor place to make a counter challenge. As Sandro Cortese for the Red Bull KTM Ajo Factory Team did in the debut season of the Moto3 GP, which he went on to win, Salom is maturing as a clever tactical rider under the tutorship of team boss Aki Ajo.
Pit Beirer, Head of KTM Motorsports was at Assen to see his factory team perform and paid tribute to Aki Ajo and his riders. "Aki is able to give the riders just the right the skills and confidence. We saw it last year with Sandro (Cortese) and now we see it again this year with Luis (Salom). Luis is the smartest and most confident rider at the moment. When you make a last minute move like that you have to be very confident you can do it at just the right moment. You can't give the other riders any chance to get back at you. He's a great rider and mentally he's very strong," he said.
Salom now leads the championship points and has a 10-point lead on Viñales and it remains to be seen how the rest of the season will shape up for these two talented Spanish riders, both on the KTM Moto3 factory machine.
It was also an excellent race for Australian Arthur Sissis of the Red Bull KTM Ajo Factory Team who was running at seventh until he had to concede a place to Jack Miller when race marshals declared he had overtaken while a yellow flag was out. He rode on to finish eighth and is now eleventh in the standings. Niklas Ajo, Finland, KTM rounded off the top ten. Seven of the top ten riders were on KTM-driven machinery.!
Zulfahmi Khairuddin, the third factory rider for the Red Bull KTM Ajo team had a big high side in Saturday's FP3 and was concussed. He was unable to ride in the qualifying and had to start from the back of the grid, eventually finishing in seventeenth place.

The West fertilizer facility that exploded earlier this year, killing 15 people, was cited by OSHA for 24 violations of worker safety protections and issued a proposed fine of $118,300.
WASHINGTON (Bloomberg) -- The fertilizer facility in Texas that exploded earlier this year, killing 15 people, was cited Wednesday by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for 24 violations of worker safety protections and issued a proposed fine of $118,300. In April, a fire at the Adair Grain Inc. facility in the town of West ignited ammonium nitrate stored there. The resulting blast left a crater 93 feet by 10 feet. Adair was cited for serious safety violations by OSHA for exposing workers to explosion or fire hazards and for its unsafe handling and storage of ammonium nitrate and anhydrous ammonia. Before the blast, OSHA inspectors hadnt been to the fertilizer depot since February 1985. The violations were disclosed by California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer today because the government shutdown prevented the agency from making an announcement. The Labor Department provided a copy of the complaint to Bloomberg News. The company can contest the violations and penalties. The attorneys are reviewing it, said Daniel Keeney, a spokesman for the company. But they dont believe these allegations have anything to do with the accident in April. Federal inspectors visited the Texas plant after its April explosion and found violations of safety regulations, including failing to have appropriate fire extinguishers, poor respiratory protection, combustible materials stored in bins that are not fire resistant and the lack of a hazard communication plan.
All comments are subject to editorial review. All fields are compulsory.

I have commented on this explosion before. Anybody who messes around with Ammonium Nitrate is playing with fire. As I said previously I remember as a boy seeing newsreels about the explosion of a ship carrying ammonium nitrate in Texas city. Also on September 12,the day after Sept 11 in New York an ammonium nitrate explosion demolished a plant owned by Total in Toulouse France. This was unnoticed in the furore following Septt 11 but I heard about it as I was working for an ExxonCemical/ Total JV in Antwerp at the time. Terrorism was not suspected but the source of ignition was never satisfactorily established
Chandan Sinha 10.19.2013
"Before the blast, OSHA inspectors hadn't been to the fertilizer depot since February 1985." OSHA should audit at regular interval.
John Peters 10.15.2013
Is it possible to get a copy of the 24 violations so learnings can be applied to the design and operation of comparable and other facilities?

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

From their web site:
You are expected to know your way around if you use system mode. You are using PA against the explicit recommendations of the maintainers, so don't expect particularly enthusiastic support from them in doing so.
HELLO! They should put PulseAudio EVERYWHERE. It should be in your TV and your headphones and your speakers and your MP3 player. I have NO IDEA how PulseAudio is going to succeed if the developers have this DUMB mind-set.

road rage this morning

road rage this morningI had a great ride this morning, I started early before traffic, I don't usually ride on Saturday mornings due to traffic but I set out thinking it is busy with cyclists anyway.
I rode to Bayview via Mona Vale Road from Lane cove on the Pacific hwy. All was well. On my return trip not much traffic and I stayed on the left hand lane. That's when it happened a bogan out of area side swipes me, (he has his girlfriend in the car with her feet on the dashboard). Has his ape hand on the horn and s calls me a <expletive> M*le. Nice. I continue on and about 10 more km another car does the same thing with out the name calling or the horn, just for the fun of it he side swipes me and this time it was even closer, I almost lost balance. I didn't lose my temper at the lights as he was there, but another car came and said he saw what that car did and said it was disgusting. Both drivers are in their early 20s. I have had no incidences at all in over 2 years, but I don't usually ride from home on Saturday s, now I know why A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Speak your mind,Those that mind dont matter, Those that matter dont mind!!
Re: road rage this morningI had no issues today riding on Pennant Hills or Pacific Hwy. I rode from Dural to our Turramurra start and it was a trouble free ride. Coming home I poked a caught a train to Beecroft from Hornsby as I had done my 105km ride and it was too hot to continue. Rode home from Beecroft, down New Line Rd (usually bogan central), but nothing. I have thick skin anyway as I commute this route and I ignore all attempts at morons to scare me off the road.

Re: road rage this morning
Thats because Bogan central were up early driving around in the lower north shore. I am still feeling upset about it as this sort of thing does not happen to me A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Speak your mind,Those that mind dont matter, Those that matter dont mind!!
Re: road rage this morning3 words - "video and report".
It sux that people do this stuff, and is the main reason I don't commute.
Re: road rage this morningApple, you should consider picking up a video camera for these incidents. Even without a video camera, I have found that picking up an iPhone camera would typically stop any continuing poor behaviours.

Re: road rage this morningIt is a horrible feeling. Takes quite a while for the adrenaline to stop pumping and usually takes me a day to flush the frustration it causes out of my system.
Used to happen at least once a week where I used to live a year ago. Doesn't happen much here in the inner Northside of Brisbane. Worst I had was a bottle thrown on the ground right underneath me that went off with a huge bang... Glass shattered everywhere under me. That one still makes me angry over a year later... I try and clear my head by thinking how good cycling is for my health and how much I love riding... Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...
Re: road rage this morning
It is so sad that we need to record this sort of thing. As I said I am usually feeling safe and cars are great, I don't hold anyone up as I left at 5.30am this morning and was home before 9am. I wonder if this wouldn't happen if I was in a group. I just sometimes feel like going solo, I enjoy my solo rides as it makes me feel free. such Cowards They feel such power in a car, Is it usually the young ones that's what I want to know. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Speak your mind,Those that mind dont matter, Those that matter dont mind!!
Re: road rage this morning
I think there's more reason to be even more vigilant when riding solo. If anything happen to you, no one would know. As such, unless you are feeling 100% about the route and ready availability of exit strategies, I would seriously consider a video camera. Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: road rage this morning You will shake it off pretty quickly. Unfortunately bogans are everywhere and they seem to be attracted to VN Commodores.
Re: road rage this morning
How did you know what they drove. spot on A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

Re: road rage this morningIt is a pity that we must share the world with morons, but I'm glad that, at the very least, you made it through unscathed.
Re: road rage this morningtry to remember that the behaviour of these peanuts does not reflect on you. a good piece of advice i always try to remember is that you should only worry about things you can control. of course that is impracticable, we all worry when some rock ape tries to side swipe us, but there's no point in getting hung up over it. also, if another driver stops to register their disgust, consider asking them if they'd act as a witness for you and reporting it to the police. the cops are more compelled to act with an independent witness.
also, i'm shocked at some of the stories i hear from female cyclists. it seems there are a lot of courageous blokes out there who are happy to terrorise women (riders), but will only try it on with blokes when there's a clear escape route.
Re: road rage this morningA few things before you go the vidcam route:
1. A rear-view mirror of some form - invaluable to observe traffic and pre-plan some control strategies 2. Ride wider, claim more lane-space 3. Ride with friends or a group - such bogan turds are totally gutless and only prey on solo riders. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: road rage this morning1)Was it reported to the police? If they've done it to you, then they'll do it to someone else.
2)If not, why not? Don't take that as a harsh criticism, it's just reporting drivers like these is a long overdue and desperately needed in order for us to get these clowns off our roads. If you report any incident via Crimestoppers, the police must follow it up. If there have been more than a couple of incidents reported, the Qld Police Commisioners Office have told me they will begin patrolling the area in question more regularly. 99% of drivers are great. The other 1% seriously injure and kill cyclists. All road rage incidents must start being reported. Until they are, nothing will ever change in our roads. Up here the QPS are basically begging cyclists to start dobbing in dangerous driving for everyone's sake, not just ours. We stand to benefit as much as anyone else by doing so.

Re: road rage this morningI'm guessing that the female in the first bogan car was his sister, because no other female would be dumb enough to spread his genetics to the next generation.

Re: road rage this morningI don't ride solo along certain roads and Mona Vale road is certainly one of them. A former colleague told me he was riding along Mona Vale road with a few friends and saw a lone cyclist lying on the road who had been hit by a right turning car who didn't stop.
Re: road rage this morningI had a swiper, too, yesterday. I rarely get them. Caught up to him at the lights. Invited him to stay this far away (arms held wide) not this far away (one foot) at 80 km/h. He told me to "read the road rules" at which point the light was green and he drove off.
What I should have said next... "There's nothing in the road rules that lets you drive like a dumb [insert family friendly epithet of choice]"
Re: road rage this morning'moron' comes in many flavours. don't take it personally, apple.
Re: road rage this morningThanks guys, I know I should just get over it. But you know 2 within 5km on the same road messes with your head. Mybe there was a bogan convention today at Lane Cove.

Re: road rage this morningTAC must have been handing out free "Warney Pills" in your area...
Re: road rage this morningI ride most weekdays and sat and sun. I regularly ride up that way as well as out to mosman and around the eastern suburbs and down south. Negative incidents with motorists are very rare to the point of being almost non existent. Not trying to take away from what happened to you Apple but hopefully you just copped your quota for the next year or so.
Re: road rage this morning
Why should you have to get over it Apple? The cretins are real brave in their cars but not so out of them, unless they come up against a girl. Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: road rage this morningDon't lose any sleep over it - some people are just unhappy with their lot in life. Chances are even if you spoke to them they would struggle to comprehend words with more than 4 letters and not be able to articulate themselves.
Had a loser undertake the bunch on the way out to Lapa last week - it was very close and at speed. The P plater in the Corolla was caught by the unhappy ride leader and his excuse was "we were holding him up" he said this with a straight face as the bunch was behind him at the lights, and the next lights and the next lights until he turned off the road probably in shame. Makes you wish you could deport them to the pacific ocean and take in someone who would benefit from our education system and contribute to society! JM
Re: road rage this morningI don't like the stretch of Mona Vale road (heading west) from the point where the road sweeps right about 1km or so before Horace St and the St Ives Shops. I wouldn't ride it alone or in a pair past the Pacific Hwy as it is too agitated. I drove along that section today and thought exactly that. The exception would be in a large bunch, safety in numbers but even then only out of necessity. It would be very hard to make this cycling friendly / cycling aware so heading the opposite direction from St Ives onward is better - you can keep away from the hoons, like the ones you encountered, particular in the sections with the side strip.

Re: road rage this morningNot your fault Apple, under endowed men often seek to boost their miniscule self esteem by this sort of act. At least the first dingleberry had one functioning horn... Shaun ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Uhm, you do know that "Timing cached reads" means that it is basically testing your ram, don't you? The only relevant part regarding your harddrive is "Timing buffered disk reads". And there you do get a difference between sata and ide. Beside this: those values look completely normal to me. Do *NOT* expect to really get 300MB/s just because marketing says that SATA2 is specified with a speed of up to 300MB/s.
With modern harddrives it is possible to get ~100MB/s read speed. But this always depends on the drive series/manufacturer. Current "mid range" is somewhere around 90MB/s, so your values for the SATA drive looks really fine and okay to me.

"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
I actually just suggested the Diamond Ray to them on Twitter. That one is a MUST!
Very cool of them to be asking this. I definitely want more Filmation artifacts!

Love to see Evil-Lyns Filmation Crystal ball and Cloak, The Shaping Staff and The staff of Avion if u please
Also Teela Shield and Sword.ball.jpgevil 2.jpgClickHandler.ashx.jpgsoa.jpgClickHandler.ashx.png
A translucent Spirit of Castle Grayskull face would be cool
Yeah, the Diamond Ray is THE artifact we need!
Other's I'd like to see:
• Golden Disks of Knowledge (those are very important, IMO)
• Skeletor's "crystal orb" battle axe
• Shaping Staff
• Mirror of Avathar
• Glowing Skull (for Shokoti)
• Staff of Avion (though I'd actually prefer the Emerald Staff from the minicomics)
• Creeping Horac (could be done as some black mist floating out of the orb)
• Dragon Pearl (would be awesome if it was possible to have a tiny Sorceress trapped inside)
• Power Stone
• Some pieces of Eternium maybe

How about the Oracle from the episode "Teela's Quest"? He was a head in a crystal ball, but seems like there is room for some creativity with that one.
Great idea Thrawn29!
Where's He-bro? He should post some of the artifacts he has sculpted! I'm afraid I don't know the names of all of them, but they are all great examples!

The story follows Bernice and Detty, half–siblings with very different childhoods. They meet again as adults when Detty applies to be an assistant to the now–successful fashion businessman Bernice, and Bernice finally gets a chance at payback for the torment Detty and her mom inflicted on him years ago — all while Bernice's fashion rival is posing serious competition for a very important account.

Upon completion of degree requirements in any of VCU's teacher preparation programs and with the recommendation of the School of Education, students are eligible to receive initial teacher licensure from the Virginia Department of Education. For additional information on licensure, licensure renewal or an add-on endorsement, contact the School of Education's Student Services Center.
In Virginia, initial licensure requires successful completion of state-mandated tests. Passing scores on these tests are required to progress through different portions of the licensure programs from admission to teacher preparation, admission to student teaching and recommendation for licensure. For a list of testing requirements, please refer to the School of Education website at www.soe.vcu.edu/ssc.
Students should request that their Praxis I and Praxis II specialty area test scores be reported to VCU and the Virginia Department of Education.
Before a recommendation for licensure can be sent to the Teacher Licensure Division of the Virginia Department of Education, these test scores must be on file with the School of Education's Student Services Center.
Licensure and endorsement are based in part on the successful completion of an approved program developed in response to nationally recognized standards. All licensure and endorsement programs offered by the School of Education are approved by the Virginia Department of Education and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. The commonwealth of Virginia is a member of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification, which has a national reciprocity agreement for teacher licensure. Therefore, all licensure and endorsement programs in the School of Education have approved program status and are a part of the NASDTEC Certification Reciprocity Agreement. Information about VCU students' performance on the state-mandated licensure tests (Praxis I Reading, Writing and Mathematics, Praxis II Specialty Area Tests, and other required assessments) is available on the School of Education Web site: www.soe.vcu.edu/ssc.
Individuals often decide to pursue a teaching career after they have completed a baccalaureate degree. VCU serves qualified individuals through approved programs leading to a Master of Teaching, Master of Education (special education) or a Post-baccalaureate Certificate in Teaching. Upon completion of a degree program, graduates are eligible for both Virginia licensure and/or endorsement in the specific degree area.
Students seeking initial licensure in Virginia must have earned a liberal arts degree (or its equivalent) and pursue professional studies focusing on a specific area of preparation or licensure. Those without a liberal arts degree who enter a program should expect to take some additional course work prior to the awarding of a degree.
Those planning to teach at the secondary level must possess a major or its equivalent in the discipline in which they wish to teach and for which VCU offers the approved program teaching specialty.
Individuals who wish to obtain licensure in art education, music education or theater education should consult the School of the Arts section of this bulletin.
The Master of Teaching program integrates undergraduate course work for a bachelor's degree in a liberal arts or science major with course work and graduate study leading to a Master of Teaching in a program area.
All of VCU's initial teacher preparation programs are approved by the Virginia Department of Education and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. VCU's School of Education also holds membership in the American and Virginia Associations of Colleges for Teacher Education and the Holmes Partnership.
Based on the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification agreement, VCU graduates will be eligible for teacher licensure reciprocity with other states. Students interested in licensure reciprocity should contact the School of Education's Office of Student Services.

Eldritch Diggory was Minister for Magic during an unknown period.
Early life
Minister Diggory was born into the Diggory family, a wizarding family of unknown blood status. At an unknown point (though probably at age eleven like most children) he bought a wand at Ollivanders Wand Shop; it was recorded to have been made of poplar wood.
Later life
Diggory was later appointed as the British Minister for Magic; according to Garrick Ollivander, he was one of the most accomplished Ministers in history, and owned a "fine" poplar wand.[1]

Moscow, Russia | Member Since 2011
""That was no Martian, it's Halloween""
It's a masterful radio dramatization dating back to 1938. The radio play allegedly "stirred terror through the U.S." and "terrified the nation". The broadcast started with the introduction by Orson Welles: "We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own." The broadcast went on followed by a weather report and interviews that were meant to make the dramatization sound realistic. Then there was a special news bulletin announcing that an object about 30 yards wide had fallen on a farm at Grovers Mill.
What the news reporter saw next he described as "the most terrifying thing" he had ever witnessed...
I was hooked by this true-to-life radio adaptation. The way the Martian invasion and its aftermath were reported, and the enactment of one of the few survivors were brilliant.
"Unnerving and disturbing"
When I first listened to the story a year ago, I was deeply moved and shaken. It took me so much time to listen to it again. I must say it's not just a spooky story of a woman showing signs of incipient madness, as it might seem. It's a protest against quack psychiatrists of the 19th century, who instead of curing patients ended up complicating their mental illness.
The story is autobiographical. Being unstable, C.P. Gilman suffered from nervous breakdowns herself. She turned to a physician, whose treatment methods proved to be ineffective. C.P. Gilman was subdued to the domestic sphere, was allowed to have only two hours' intellectual stimulation, and was prevented from working. Deprived from normal life, she nearly slipped into insanity. Only when Gilman returned to work, did she manage to recover.
As Charlotte Perkins Gilman put it, the story "was not intended to drive people crazy, but to save people from being driven crazy".
"Don't Panic, it's Mostly Harmless"
I've listened to this jewel of a book twice already, and I certainly can't get enough of it.
S. Fry's rendition is outstanding. If you haven't listened to H2G2, you definitely missed a lot.
Philosophically, the book poses the question: Do we really need to seek answers, or should we simply accept life for what it is? Absurdism is the central theme of the novel, yet events don't actually happen in random order, and even the craziest course of events is congruous.
D. Adams wrote a brilliant book, more of a scathing satire than an SF novel. It's not just a hilariously funny book, though on the face of it, it is. Adams masterfully employs humor to satirize serious matters. The Guide is a witty commentary on the absurd society we live in.
"Nice folk tales ruined by narrator"
I wanted to have a brush up on my Spanish, so I thought Cpe was a wonderful opportunity. But unfortunately, the rendition was a total disappointment. The way I see it, it should have had more zing to it. I missed emotional involvement on the narrator's part.
Anyway, for foreign learners of Spanish, the book will prove useful. Though the excitement might quickly die down.
"Excellent and solid listen"
Listening to the lectures gave me so much pleasure. Prof. Lependorf teaches the listener to understand the music and create a mental map of the passages. Personally, it was like learning a new language in an insightful way. I'd say the lectures helped to develop my sensitivity.
You can download the accompanying guide and figure out what the lectures are about. In short, they cover the following musicians and their masterpieces:
A.Vivaldi 'The Spring' (Movement I), J.S.Bach 'Brandenburg Concerto No. 5' (Movement I), G.F.Handel 'The Messiah' ("Ev'ry Valley", "All We Like Sheep", "Hallelujah"), W.A.Mozart 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' (Movement I), L. van Beethoven 'Symphony No. 5' (Movement I), H.Berlioz 'Symphonie Fantastique', F.Chopin 'Nocturnes' (Vol. 1, Nocturne in Db, Op. 27, No. 2), J.Brahms 'Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Händel' (Variations I, II, III, V, VI, Fugue), R.Wagner 'Prelude to Tristan', M.Mussorgsky 'Pictures at an Exhibition' ('Promenade', 'The Gnome', 'Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks', 'Great Gate of Kiev'), C.Debussy 'Prelude to The Afternoon of the Faun', I.Stravinsky 'The Rite of Spring' (Pt. 1), M.Ravel 'Mother Goose Suite', A.Copland 'Appalachian Spring Suite'.
Prof. Lependorf introduces such notions as tonic, ritornello, tutti, continuo, terraced dynamics, concerto grosso, pedal point, cadenza, oratorio, melisma, serenade, sonata-allegro, adagio, col legno, bel canto, arpeggio, da capo aria, tempo rubato, appoggiatura, hemiola, rounded binary, canon, cross-rhythm, two-against-three, leitmotiv, tremolo, ostinato, whole-tone scale, pentatonic scale, mode, gamelan, glissando, and syncopation, to name a few.
The lectures expanded my musical experience. I'll certainly listen to them again.
"A better cyborgian future?"
It's a witty and entertaining book that was originally an online serialized novel (check out M. Barry's website). It revolves around Charles Neumann, a reticent engineer, who loses his limb and decides to improve his body by building a new leg. The funny thing that happens is that the less 'organic' Charles becomes, the more human he feels.
The book IS cynical and entertaining, but it also raises philosophical and ethical questions. What is it to be human? Would you download and upload your mind into a much better equipped robot body? Having been subjected to augmentation, can we still remain human?
Thinking about the quote from Michio Kaku's Physics of the Impossible "...immortality (in the form of DNA-enhanced or silicon bodies) may be the ultimate future of humanity," the question is, what if the essence of humanity could be lost as a result of biotechnological improvement?
On the plus side, there are revolutionary ways of transforming human capabilities, such as pacemakers and tissue grafts that prolong life; e-broidery and smart prosthetics. So in order to survive and 'upgrade' our biological adaptability we need some nanotechnological enhancement. Or do we?
At the same time, a cyborgian reality can widen the gap between 'organic' and 'augmented' people, those who can afford to buy a better body and the havenots, those who become supersoldiers and ordinary people, unable to defend themselves...
And it's the book that gave me food for thought.
As I read about Charles looking everywhere for his lost phone in Chapter 1, I thought about the way technology infiltrates our life. We are overdependent on it. As Naomi Goldenberg put it, "We are engaged in a process of making one another disappear by living more and more of our lives apart from other humans, in the company of machines..." Even now, while typing this, I desperately rely on my iPad.
"Good as an overview"
It is supposed to be "psychology for non-psychologists", which basically means it briefly covers the major writings and biographies of famous authors.
Cutting edge? Definitely not. But it's summarizing and terse. It's a starting point to actually read those works explored. If you want an in-depth study, you read the book by the author, not a summary.
Here's the list of authors and the works:
1 Alfred Adler Understanding Human Nature

"Good but not a masterpiece"
V for Vendetta is a dystopia (though some authors distinguish dystopias from anti-utopias, but I'd rather use the former term). So, as any dystopia, it is meant to be a critique of the social or political system that exist in reality. Dystopias express our modern age anxieties and fears, as well as disillusionment with the utopian thought.
VfV describes the tyranny of a totalitarian regime and its evils; utter misery of the people; an individual crushed by the police state; people living in a constant nightmare. Exploitation, corruption, destruction, decline of faith and terror.
What makes this dystopia stand out is that the audiobook is based on the comic book series, and the protagonist doesn't want to be trampled on by the totalitarian machine. Estranged, V takes revenge and, having no scruples left, defies the state by using 'like-cures-like' methods: murder, terrorism, and subterfuge.
Well, perhaps, the question the reader can ask themselves is, Does the end justify the means? What V does is immoral, but if the environment is sick, does social ethics need to exist? If you want to be free, is chaos the only way to gain freedom?
V is certainly not a fictional character. His anarchic prototypes are not remnants of the past revolutions, but quite an inspiration behind protests nowadays.
As D. Harvey wrote, 'There is a time and place in the ceaseless human endeavor to change the world, when alternative visions, no matter how fantastic, provide the grist for shaping powerful political forces for change.' But, honestly, dystopian visions don't seem so fantastic the minute you link them with real events that happened in the past or are currently going on. There's nothing depicted in dystopias that people haven't committed.
P.S. As for the performance, it was excellent. Simon Vance is unrivalled!
""Lest we forget how fragile we are...""
The book kept me thinking how easy it is to cross the fine line between what we consider to be sane and insane, normal and abnormal. We take so many things for granted (like walking, sitting, remembering) that we don't really pay attention to them. But when a disaster strikes, and your body/mind doesn't feel the same way it used to, how do you react? Give up, or fight to feel 'normal' and 'together' again?
It was eye-opening to listen to this fantastic book. I felt that the author had never held himself aloof from his patients. The book was written with such compassion and empathy that I was so absorbed I couldn't do anything else. It's a must-have for anyone interested in neuropsychiatry, neurology and psychology.
The book is made up of 4 parts:
1. Losses (with special emphasis on visual agnosia)
The man who mistook his wife for a hat;
The lost mariner;
The disembodied lady;
The man who fell out of bed;
On the level;
Eyes right;
The President's speech.
2. Excesses (i.e. disorders or diseases like Tourette's syndrome, tabes dorsalis - a form of neurosyphilis, and the 'joking disease')
Witty Ticcy Ray;
Cupid's disease;
A matter of identity;
Yes, Father-Sister;
The possessed.
3. Transports (on the 'power of imagery and memory', e.g. musical epilepsy, forced reminiscence and migrainous visions)
Incontinent nostalgia;
A passage to India;
The dog beneath the skin;
The visions of Hildegard.
4. The world of the simple (on the advantages of therapy centered on music and arts when working with the mentally retarded)
A walking grove;
The twins;
The autist artist.
I'd say it was emotionally exhausting to listen to the book. There are no wars depicted; no atrocities described. But there's the tragedy of one man, the broken, or rather ruined promises, the futility of aspiration, and failure of love. Yes, it's a story about an ordinary life, not about superheroes we look up to, but we never come across them in real life.
It's a story that could have happened to any of us, about the things we're too afraid to do, and then regret not doing them. Vanity of vanities... Thus 'Stoner' is thought-provoking and pensive. Its sadness is reverberating. I listened to it in one sitting, but I had to stop the audio from time to time to recharge my 'battery'. And it took me some time to get down to it and write the review.
It was so hard to listen to the book, because of the emotional involvement and empathy I felt towards the protagonist. A brilliant and moving novel.

This folder contains materials collected by the office of President John F. Kennedy's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, concerning President Kennedy's remarks at a rally held at the Fitzgerald Field House at the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In his speech the President discusses the importance of electing Democratic representatives from Pennsylvania for the nation to progress in areas such as education, housing, and area redevelopment. Materials in this folder include a memorandum, draft, press copy, and reading copy of the speech with handwritten notations by the President, in addition to note cards with talking points.

Papers of John F. Kennedy. Presidential Papers. President's Office Files. Speech Files. Remarks at Fitzgerald Field House, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 12 October 1962
Series Description:
This series contains, in chronological order, speeches, remarks, announcements and proclamations which President Kennedy made during the three years of his administration. A major portion of the material is the official press copy of speeches, but there are also numerous reading copies, drafts, memoranda, schedules of visits, and other supplementary information and background material on particular speeches. The speeches and remarks vary a great deal as to subject and reflect the President's schedule of visits to cities and foreign countries, meetings with heads of state, greetings to visiting groups and dignitaries, messages to Congress, remarks at state receptions and banquets, and official proclamations. The Speech Files are rich with the President's notations and comments, since reading copies, drafts, dinner menus, programs and so forth were all used to make notations and changes. An alphabetic index, by name and subject, is included to assist researchers unfamiliar with the chronology. Researchers should consult the Speech Files primarily for the texts of particular speeches. It should be noted, however, that the series is not a complete compilation of the speeches of President Kennedy. Announcements, remarks, and proclamations on numerous other topics not included in the Speech Files may also be found in Series 4. Legislative Files, Series 8. Subjects, and Series 9. Countries. Researchers will find the Theodore Sorensen Personal Papers, also housed at the Kennedy Library, a helpful additional source. Researchers should also consult the Public Papers of the Presidents, John F. Kennedy, 1961-1963 (3 volumes), which are well-indexed.

Local author overcomes dumping by Random House
Blog Entry:
February 26, 2013 1:44 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
By almost any standard, Lyndhurst novelist
Mary Doria Russell
is a big success.
She followed up two celebrated science fiction novels, "The Sparrow" and "Children of God," with well-reviewed historical novels including "Doc," about the relationship between John Henry "Doc" Holliday and Wyatt Earp.
But as
The Washington Post
, she's not immune from the perils of being a mid-list author in the high-stakes publishing world.
From the story:
Just as her new novel, "Doc," was being released in 2011, she got word that her publisher was not interested in any more books from her. She had been with Random House since 1996 and published five novels with the New York house. During that time, she had won an Arthur C. Clarke Award and an American Library Association Readers Choice Award. Entertainment Weekly had chosen "The Sparrow" as one of the 10 best books of year.
But that didn't matter. Random House was done with her.
At a recent event near Washington, D.C., Ms. Russell told the audience, "There was no indication that was going to happen. It was like having your husband throw you a 25th wedding anniversary party, and then serve you with divorce papers at dessert."
She remained quiet about Random House's decision,
The Post
says, because she had to begin her book tour for the novel. "It took me about three months after that till I could breathe right," Ms. Russell said at the event.
But unlike the experience of many authors, Ms. Russell's tale has a happy ending.
Ecco, a division of HarperCollins, last year bought the planned sequel to "Doc," and Ms. Russell said she expects her new novel — tentatively titled "Epitaph" — to be published in late 2014.
Even better, movie director Ron Howard is producing a pilot for HBO based on "Doc" and "Epitaph." And cable network AMC has
bought an option
to make a series based on "The Sparrow" and "Children of God."
This and that
The bounceback continues:
The U.S. housing market closed 2012 on a
strong note
, though Cleveland was not one of the pacesetters.
The new Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Indices showed home prices ended 2012 with growth of 7.3%, including 5.9% for the 10-city index and 6.8% for the 20-city index.
Cities that saw housing prices take a big hit in the recession, such as Phoenix and San Francisco, saw prices rise last year by 23% and 14.4%, respectively.
Cleveland, more of a steady performer, saw prices rise just 2.9% for the year, better only than Chicago (2.2% increase) and New York (-0.1%).
Let there be light:
Case Western Reserve University
professor is quoted in
Wall Street Journal
about advances in treating adult acne "by harnessing the healing properties of light."
Light, administered alone or with pharmaceuticals, "offers fresh options to acne patients for whom existing treatments often are either too powerful or not powerful enough," according to
The Journal
In a procedure known as "photodynamic treatment," which has been studied for years, certain pharmaceutical ingredients that are sensitive to light can kill acne when turned on by specific light wavelengths,
The Journal
reports. (It hasn't yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as an acne treatment, though it has been approved for other skin conditions.)
Off-label photodynamic acne treatments are legal and rely on a doctor's judgment, according to the story.
"In practice we use kind of what's available and what's practical," says Elma Baron, dermatology professor at Case Western Reserve, who is running a clinical trial of photodynamic therapy to treat a type of skin cancer.
Prof. Baron tells
The Journal
that photodynamic therapy appears to reduce her patients' lesions. But research is limited in terms of which wavelength works best, which dosages and frequencies patients need and how long the effects last.
Power shift:
A coalition of eight power companies that included Akron-based
FirstEnergy Corp.
lost a court challenge to U.S. rules setting rates that telephone and cable providers must pay to attach lines to electric utility poles.
that a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., "today upheld Federal Communications Commission rules aimed at simplifying and reducing rates to spur deployment of high-speed Internet service, or broadband, finding the agency's justifications to be reasonable.
The power companies "offer neither theory nor fact to contradict the commission's fundamental proposition that artificial, non-cost-based differences in the prices of inputs among competitors are bound to distort competition, handicapping the disfavored competitors and at the margin causing market share and capital to flow to less efficient firms," U.S. Circuit Judge Stephen Williams wrote in the opinion, according to Bloomberg.
The news service reports that lowering rates could cost electric utilities $1.2 billion in foregone fees annually, according to a 2011 estimate by Thomas Magee, an attorney for the coalition of utilities.

Hillary's Coming Out Story from I Want the World to Know on Vimeo.
Hillary, one of my oldest friends, grew up in a suburb south of Boston. Though we shared our childhood years together, it wasn't until recently that we both discovered that we were both gay! Therefore, I knew I had to interview her for this project! Hillary had an epiphany at summer camp at age 15 when she discovered that a fellow female camper had feelings for her. She went through the next few years dating both men and women, and she now defines herself as gay. A talented musician, Hillary started writing music as a teenager and was a member of an a capella group in college. She now lives in Brooklyn with her longtime girlfriend and works for pingg.com. Check out Hillary's story!

28.10.2012 /
Moto3 World Champion Sandro Cortese of Germany rode another masterly race on Sunday for his fifth win of the inaugural season in the new class of MotoGP in an incident filled race that saw his young Australian Red Bull KTM Ajo factory teammate Arthur Sissis on the podium in third behind Portugal's Miguel Oliviera.
Sandro Cortese started on pole on the magnificent sweeping circuit at Phillip Island and took the lead in the third lap while all around him was unraveling. The board went out to indicate a number of riders had jump started and were facing a ride through penalty. Among those whose number came up on the yellow drive through board were Jonas Folger and Luis Salom on the two KALEX-KTMs, effectively removing them from contention in the 23-lap race.
Cortese's teammate Zulfahmi Khairuddin was the early leader in the opening laps and looked like he was going to score another strong result after his first podium last week in Sepang. Then the Malaysian rider dropped down the order after the reshuffle that followed the drive through penalty and eventually exited the race. Meanwhile both Arthur Sissis and teammate Niklas Ajo were also up with the podium contenders and while the Australian managed to stick with the following pack, his Finnish teammate Ajo had several crashes and eventually had to retire.
Six laps into the race, Cortese and Miguel Oliviera made the break and began to amass a significant advantage while the dogfight for third emerged as the main issue of the event. Maverick Vinales, the Spanish rider who last week had not raced after a dispute with his team was back and racing for second in the championship. His race lasted until he crashed in Siberia corner with eight laps to go.
Then with a handful of laps to go, Oliviera made one attempt to break away from Cortese but the German, who has shown infinite tactical skill this season followed in his slipstream for several laps then slipped by and was not tackled again. Behind the two leaders, the battle for third was raging with Sissis going hard on the brakes into the corner and oscillating between third and fifth place. Coming into the home stretch his British teammate Danny Kent was also in the mix for podium third but Sissis, a Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup graduate, positioned himself perfectly and to the delight of the home crowd, made third place stick. It was his best career performance in his first season in the senior ranks.
The result was another triumph for the KTM 250 GP Moto3 Grand Prix machine, especially developed by the Austrian manufacturer for this new series and which has been in the forefront of the competition throughout the season, KTM now leads the manufacturer's standings by 26 points from FTR Honda with KALEX-KTM in third

When a film is dealing with a specific historical event, one in which we already know the outcome, the trick is in finding another avenue in which to captivate your audience. That was Director Kathryn Bigelow's challenge with Zero Dark Thirty, detailing the hunt for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, and she succeeds with flying colors. Even in this case where there were conflicting reports on many of the particulars, everyone knew the basics. The terrorist leader was holed up in a compound in Pakistan and a U.S. Navy SEAL team is sent in to kill him on May 2, 2011.
Unlike the poorly made-for-TV film Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden, which focused primarily on the special ops team (and made them look like unprofessional jerks), Bigelow's film instead focuses on a young CIA agent named Maya (Chastain), whose dogged, nearly ten year pursuit of bin Laden had to overcome numerous setbacks and the doubts of her own superiors.
When first we meet Maya she is in Pakistan working with fellow agent Dan (Clarke) who is interrogating a man named Ammar who is suspected of having ties to several Saudi terrorists. Dan's 'interrogation' consists of several methods of torture including locking him in a tiny box, depriving him of food and water, and waterboarding. The torture scenes became the subject of much controversy, largely driven by a media that was stirred up into a ridiculous frenzy. These scenes are short, and frankly, next to the average episode of Spartacus, make these seem like a tea party. Nothing to see here people, move it along.
Dan and Maya eventually trick Ammar into giving up the name of bin Laden's personal courier, a man named Abu Ahmed. The bulk of the film consists of Maya using all of her resources, which frankly seemed somewhat scant most of the time, to try an locate Ahmed, and in turn, bin Laden. Zero Dark Thirty masterfully walks the tightrope of being espionage thriller and political drama. Chastain is absolutely brilliant as the resilient CIA agent who is determined to convince her bosses that bin Laden is indeed within the fortress like compound of Abbottabad, Pakistan.
She harries her division chief constantly, even chastising him for losing sight of the goal of getting bin Laden. What stands out about her performance is that it's courageous without it becoming a novelty because she is a female in a traditional all male game. Jason Clarke also shines as Dan who simply does his job in the most matter-of-fact way possible. He's not apologetic about what he does to his prisoners but neither is he sadistic. Imagine the reaction if Bigelow had him play the role in that manner! James Gandolfini has a small role as CIA head Leon Panetta although his name is actually never used in the film.
The raid, which takes place over only the last 25 minutes or so of the film, is shot at the ground level, almost putting the viewer right in with the SEALs as they quickly make their way through the compound before the raid can draw the attention of the Pakistani military. When bin Laden, who is shown only for a second, is shot dead the reaction isn't one of jubilation but handled as if the solider was a factory worker who just tightened the lug nuts on a new car rolling off the assembly line.
With limited information, Bigelow and her production team did what most consider a remarkable job in recreating the stealth helicopters used in the raid and all of the armament and gear used by the actors was recreated as realistically as possible thanks to numerous former SEALs who were brought in as consultants.
Ulitimately Zero Dark Thirty is a film not about vengeance but about justice. Justice that took nearly a decade to achieve but was done so with little fanfare by the participants…that was saved for us at home.
