The Trentonian (
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL: Wallace reaches 1,000 in Trenton's rout of Ravens
Saturday, January 26, 2013
By KYLE FRANKO
TRENTON Ś It was just two years ago that Trenton High boys basketball coach Greg Grant remembers Rasheed Wallace opting to sit in the stands instead of dressing for a varsity game.
ōWe did not tell him not to dress,ö said Grant, recalling that Wallace was on the wrong end of a tongue-lashing.
ōHe was a weak, soft kid then.ö
So much has changed for Wallace since that day.
He bought into GrantÆs tough-love system, turning himself into one of the premier scorers in Mercer County.
On Saturday afternoon, Wallace became the first Trenton player since Randy Corker in 1980 to score 1,000 career points.
He did it in style too, getting the 15 points he needed in the first quarter. The milestone shot was a 3-pointer from the right corner.
ōI was pretty hot in the first quarter,ö said Wallace, a senior, who finished with 34 points, as the Tornadoes improved to 12-3 following a 73-43 victory over Robbinsville.
ōI was thinking about it a little bit,ö said Wallace, who posed for a picture with family after hitting 1,000. ōI wanted to get it. I felt like I worked hard for it. ItÆs a blessing to get it, though.ö
What impressed Grant was how quickly Wallace accomplished it.
Or as he put it, ōthe old way.ö
Wallace, as is tradition at Trenton, only started playing varsity his junior season Ś itÆs why 1,000-point scorers have been so few and far between for a school with a rich basketball history.
To Grant, that meant the accomplishment wasnÆt watered down over a four-year period. It also speaks to WallaceÆs commitment.
ōWeÆre not easy coaches to play for,ö Grant said. ōWe demand a lot. We demand that you work hard every day, improve your game and try to get better. Most players in this era donÆt accept that. They have to go somewhere else, where itÆs easy, where coaches donÆt yell.ö
Wallace couldÆve gone somewhere else. HeÆs a talented scorer with a knack for finding his way to the rim.
He chose to stick it out at Trenton.
ōIt feels good,ö Wallace said. öNormal people canÆt get it really. I felt like I put hard work into it.ö
Where the 6-foot-1 guard projects at the next level is still uncertain. He hasnÆt committed to any school and heÆs going to have to play point guard in college Ś a position he doesnÆt play for the Tornadoes.
ōHe can definitely play on any level,ö said Grant, who himself went from TCNJ to the NBA. ōItÆs going to be whether he wants to put the time in to do so.ö
For now, Wallace is happy to finish off an outstanding career at Trenton Ś one in which heÆll become the schoolÆs all-time leading scorer before his senior season ends.
Remember that kid that ran to the bleachers Ś heÆs long gone.
ōItÆs not easy to score 1,000 points in two seasons, but he put some time and work in,ö Grant said. ōHeÆs still quiet. HeÆs still shy. But he has a little more killer in him.ö
Worthy 5-3-14, Bell 0-0-0, Shelton 2-2-6, Thompson 0-0-0, George 4-1-9, Ingram 1-0-2, Wallace 11-8-34, Gulley 1-0-2, Hargrove 3-0-6, Peoples 0-0-0, Mims 0-0-0. Totals: 27-14-73.
McGuigan 0-0-0, Nemazie 0-0-0, Carnevale 1-2-4, Cueto 6-4-16, Mazer 0-0-0, S. Tierney 0-0-0, Massi 6-0-12, Daniel 1-0-2, Johnston 0-0-0, Douglas 1-0-3, Hunter 0-0-0, Linder 1-0-2, C. Tierney 2-0-4. Totals: 18-6-43.
Trenton (11-3) 25 20 22 6 Ś 73
Robbinsville (6-11) 12 11 10 10 Ś 43
3pt goals: T-Wallace 2, Worthy; R-Douglas.

Mooooving forward?
A little bit of humour came to my often stressful walk today. My dog reacts to just about every living thing. So to get her used to the sound of cows as we go pass the field I've started talking to the cows and mooing with them. She loves the moo! It gets her so happy with her bum wiggling and ears relaxed that she instantly snaps out of her tense reaction. I tried it tonight when a dog started barking at her and had the same response! No barking back, hackles dropped instantly and complete focus on me! I might look and sound like an idiot but we had a lovely walk and she was incredibly relaxed. If I have to moo to get it...who cares!

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL - MAY 07: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland putts on the 18th hole during the second round of THE PLAYERS Championship held at THE PLAYERS Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass on May 7, 2010 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)
Rory McIlroy made five straight birdies down the stretch to overtake Justin Rose and win the Dubai World Championship on Sunday, ending a historic year in which the 23-year-old Northern Irishman won the PGA Championship and the European and PGA tour money titles.
The top-ranked McIlroy recovered from early putting woes to finish at 6-under 66 for a total 23-under 265 at the season-ending tournament. Rose, who was tied for seventh after three rounds, surged down the stretch into contention after shooting a course-record 62 that included an eagle and eight birdies.
''I just wanted to finish the season the way I thought I deserved to finish the season,'' McIlroy said after holing a birdie on 18 and raising his arms in the air in celebration. ''You know, I played so well throughout the year and I didn't want to just let it tail off sort of timidly. I wanted to come here and finish in style.''
Second-ranked Luke Donald (71) was tied for third with Charl Schwartzel (68) of South Africa...

The fears that the closing of the Lea Joyner Bridge section of U.S. 80 would create massive traffic jams appeared to be unfounded as the first week ended Friday.
Westbound traffic on DeSiard Street appeared to flow well over Endom Bridge. However, there were long lines generated from the sheer volume of cars.
During most of the week, employees of Restaurant Cotton, positioned where North and South Grand streets dissect DeSiard Street at the foot of the Endom Bridge, handed out free bags of fried pork skins to drivers as they passed by. ...

Apple's iPhone won't officially launch on China Mobile until January 17 , but the world's largest mobile carrier began accepting preorders for them last week. And while early estimates say initial preorder numbers are high, they're not quite as high as you'd think given the size of China Mobile's subscriber base. Wedge Partners figures China Mobile accepted about 100,000 preorders for the iPhone 5s and 5c during the first two days of availability. Interestingly, that's fewer than rival carriers managed when the devices first launched a few months back. In September, China Unicom racked up about 120,000 preorders and China Telecom about 150,000 for the 5s and 5c both. How is it that China Mobile, which currently provides cell service to over 763 million customers, is pulling in fewer iPhone preorders than its smaller rivals?
Read MoreThe maker of an app that Lookout has branded as a security threat contends that it is offering a potentially lucrative, if risky, business opportunity to consumers. Bazuc distributes an Android app that when installed sends SMS messages through a user's phone, with Bazuc promising to pay users a tenth of a penny for each message sent. After spending a month researching Bazuc.net and its apps, Lookout on Thursday warned that the app poses a significant threat to users, including the potential for angry phone calls and seeing their phone service disconnected for violating the terms of their contracts. Lookout said it would warn users of its security software who have the app installed, and also said it was reaching out to carriers and other companies that it believes may have a problem with what Bazuc is doing. In an email, Bazuc creator Richard Loomis confirmed some things that Lookout said, but took issue with others, and insists that it details many of the potential risks on its website. "Yes, there are risks involved for the app users, which are very clearly posted in a very large font on both the website and inside the app itself," Loomis said in an email to AllThingsD
Read MoreThis is my last column for The Wall Street Journal, after 22 years of reviewing consumer technology products here. So I thought I'd talk about the dozen personal-technology products I reviewed that were most influential over the past two decades. Obviously, narrowing so many products in the most dynamic of modern industries down to 12 is a subjective exercise and others will disagree. Though most were hits, a couple weren't blockbusters, financially, and one was an outright flop. Instead, I used as my criteria two main things. First, the products had to improve ease of use and add value for average consumers. That was the guiding principle I laid down in the first sentence of my first column, in 1991: "Personal computers are just too hard to use, and it's not your fault." Second, I chose these 12 because each changed the course of digital history by influencing the products and services that followed, or by changing the way people lived and worked. In some cases, the impact of these mass-market products is still unfolding. All of these products had predecessors, but they managed to take their categories to a new level. Some readers will complain that Apple is overrepresented. My answer: Apple introduced more influential, breakthrough products for average consumers than any other company over the years of this column.
Read MoreA startup called DoorBot has raised $1 million after selling 10,000 Wi-Fi videocamera doorbells for $199. DoorBot on Shark Tank DoorBot is a specialized smart home security device, so next time someone rings the bell outside your home, you can check who it is from an app on your phone — and without opening the door, talk to them via two-way audio. The Santa Monica, Calif.-based company brought in the funding after failing to raise money on the ABC TV show "Shark Tank," whose investors passed on the deal for various reasons including competition and security risks (only one of the five sharks offered to invest, but with an onerous royalty rate that the company declined). But everything worked out okay. DoorBot was able to raise money at the same $7 million valuation that CEO Jamie Siminoff pitched on the show, he said this week. The money came from more traditional technology investors including First Round Capital, Upfront Ventures, Charles River Ventures and Matt Mullenweg. DoorBot sales are accelerating, according to Siminoff, with $600,000 worth of sales in the past month. And the 16-person company is now profitable. Siminoff said his team's key innovation is the ability to squeeze out a year of battery life by keeping the device deactivated and then very quickly waking it up within a second. However, that design means that users can't just open up the app and check outside their door at any time. They have to wait for someone to ring the bell. That should change in a coming update, Siminoff said
Read MoreBy now you may have heard about the United States' woeful lack of public coding classes , despite the economy's ever-growing need for technical workers. For five years now, Computer Science Education Week has existed as a call to mobilize people to learn to program. This year, it's getting a little more oomph, with promotion by various tech companies of the new nonprofit Code.org 's "Hour of Code" initiative, five million students committed to participate globally at 33,000 schools in 166 countries, and endorsements by celebrities and public figures including both U.S. President Barack Obama and his political foil House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Here's the video from Obama, in which he urges, "Don't just buy a new video game, make one. Don't just download the latest app, help design it. Don't just play on your phone, program. No one's born a computer scientist, but with a little hard work — and some math and science — just about anyone can become one." And here's Cantor, who says "coding is the necessary tool of this century": (By the way, the name "Hour of Code" is not meant to specify any specific hour, but rather the motivation for people to spend an hour learning to code at some point over the next week.) And it's not just political rivals coming together, but also competing companies, noted Code.org co-founder Ali Partovi. All the Apple Stores in the U.S. plan to hold an open Hour of Code class on Dec.
Read MoreIn 2011, Google changed the way it ranked websites , in an effort to punish spammers and "content farms" that showed up high in search results but delivered crummy pages. Google's "Panda" changes had giant ripple effects throughout the Web: Ask Demand Media , among others. This week Facebook announced that it was changing the way it ranked content in its all-important News Feed — the main page Facebook users see on their desktop and on their phones — in order to promote "high-quality content." And Facebook said it would make things like "meme photos" harder to see. The immediate reaction from several publishers I've talked to this week: "This is Facebook's Panda." But if that's the case, then who is Facebook trying to punish? And why does Facebook care about this anyway — isn't the crucial thing that people like the stuff, and not what the stuff is? One way to get some answers is to ask a Facebook executive directly
Read MoreA July attack on J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s network has put the personal information of nearly a half million of the bank's customers at risk. J.P. Morgan said Wednesday that 465,000 users of its UCard prepaid cash cards may have had some personal information pilfered by hackers that breached its network. Speaking to Reuters , the bank said it believes only "a small amount" of noncritical data was taken. But it doesn't seem to have definitively ruled out the theft of social security numbers, birth dates, etc. As of yet, there is no evidence any crimes have been committed using the data
Read MoreShutterstock / Lisa S. It's a regulatory green-light for Microsoft's pending acquisition of Nokia's phone business. The U.S. Department of Justice unconditionally approved the $7.2 billion deal last Friday , rubber-stamping a massive transaction that will see Microsoft acquire Nokia's devices and services business and license the company's mapping services, a move that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says will accelerate the company's share and profits in phones. A milestone moment for Microsoft, and one that clearly shows the company recognizing two crucial truths: 1. It must create a first-rate Microsoft phone experience in order for it to succeed in the smartphone business. 2. It cannot afford to allow Google and Apple to foreclose the smartphone ecosystem by utterly dominating software and hardware innovation in this sphere. The next hurdle to be overcome: Regulatory approval in the European Union. Here's a quick refresher on the numbers behind the deal: Microsoft is spending about $7.2 billion to acquire Nokia's core cellphone business. Of that, $5 billion is for Nokia's devices business. The remaining $2.18 billion is to license Nokia's intellectual property Nokia's patent portfolio includes some 8,500 design patents. It also includes approximately 30,000 utility patents and patent applications. About 32,000 Nokia employees are expected to transfer to Microsoft as part of the deal. About 18,300 of those are "directly involved in manufacturing." But 56,000 Nokia employees will remain at the company once the deal has closed. With 8.7 million units shipped, Windows Phone had a 3.7 percent share of global smartphone market in the second quarter of 2013, according to IDC. Windows Phone has greater than 10 percent share in nine markets, according to Microsoft. Windows Phone is outselling BlackBerry in 34 markets — again, according to Microsoft. Nokia accounted for 81.6 percent of all Windows Phone smartphone shipments during the second quarter of 2013. Microsoft's gross margin on sales of Nokia's Windows Phone handsets before the deal: Less than $10

any one kno of any info when the roadstas may drop
Anyone seen these yet?
Just asked in BWS today, they said they had no idea when the Roadstas would be in.
ok here is the deal folks. BWS closed early because soho had a power cut. My work also had a power cut so i went over to BWS but it had already closed.
From the window i managed to see the new chompers and black multi camo reversables in all three colours. They will probably have a lot of sizes left tomorrow due to the power cut today.
4 upper james st....thanks for the info, do they stock any of the baby milo hoddies
yeah shelves are pretty full
loads of tees
milo shirts
red madstas, the chompers

4 upper james st....

I swear i'm gonna crease if they're some dumb price and pondon etc are doing them cheaper.
I want to get the reverse camo tees the purple/blue one but i'm guessing they'll be silly money.
Anything in there today, gonna walk past tomorrow see if it's worth going monday
If anyone gets inside info on the London drop, will you share it?
Anyone planning on camping or just going in early? The hype on these isn't great but it'd suck to miss out and pay stupid prices somewhere else.
well i'll definitely get there early ofr Saturday just to make sure. I pass BWS on the way to work Mon - Fri anyway so i'll keep an eye out.
To be truthful i don't think they really know wassup sometimes in regards to releases. I asked how much the camo reversibles would cost when they drop, and the worker didn't even know they existed.
lol classic
the general reply is usually "we get new stuff every day"

Government and human capital in a model of development through modernization and specialization
Economic development is associated with the shift of production from the traditional sector (e.g. traditional agriculture and the urban informal sector) to the modern sector (e.g. modern manufacturing and commercial agriculture). Human capital accumulation, particularly, education and job training of skilled workers, is a crucial factor in the modernization of an economy. Several institutions such as the protection of property rights and the strength of the rule of law also are considered essential. Thus, the government has an important role as the main provider of 'institution-maintaining' services, although it often faces a difficulty in providing adequate amounts of the services due to costly hiring of educated officers and tax avoidance. This paper analyzes interactions among taxation, the provision of the public services, human capital accumulation, and modernization, based on a dynamic dual economy model, which draws on the Becker and Murphy (1992) model of skill and task specialization, and examines conditions for successful development. Distributions of political power and wealth as well as sectoral productivities and the cost of education affect the outcome qualitatively. In particular, the socially desirable distribution of political power is such that educated (uneducated) individuals should have dominant power at an early (late) stage of development. Further, it is shown that several novel or overlooked inefficiencies arise naturally from realistic features of the model and appropriate redistribution can correct the inefficiencies except at a fairly early stage of development.

need help with select box and javascript
I am working on a project where I need the contents of a select box to be added to a textarea when a selection is clicked.
For example, say I have a list box with 10 elements that allows multiple selections by holding down CTRL and clicking whatever you want. I also have a textarea. How can I make the text of the selected elements of the select box appear in the textarea as they are selected?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply....thats sort of what i am looking for. However, there are 2 other things I probably should have mentioned in my post. I need the current contents of the textarea to stay there and i need the values from the select box to be added in the order they are selected.

(edit): Looks like shoop already has the += ....
Use +=
For example, you already have the code to get the select value:
Code:var tArea = document.getElementById('textboxName') tArea.value += otherStuff;

Obviously too early to tell basis long term use. But needed it for immediate project, delivered within a couple of days and did the job the next week-end. One negative; the instructions not very clear, probably no problem for a professional but i'm just doin a job in the garden and not a technical person!

Is anybody else having the thing where the site has sort of reloaded itself loads of times so when you want to go back you have to constantly click the back button? Or is that just me?
Posted May 30, '13 at 6:54pm
2,929 posts
I know what you are talking about. The problem when you hit the back button, but the page redirects to itself. This disallows you from going back and forces you to stay on the same page. However, if you click the back button a bunch of times really quickly you can actually make it back to the previous page.To answer your question, right now using Mozilla Firefox (Version 21.0) I am having no problems with the Armor Games and the back button. I do not need to click it multiple times to go back a page. (It is working properly on all different areas of the site for me as well.)

If the end of the world was just hours away, would New Yorkers still be able to get takeout? Yes, if Abel Ferrara's mind-bending 4:44 Last Day on Earth is any indication.
The improvised dialogue takes hairpin turns, some less fruitful than others, holding onto just enough traces of structure to sustain the film's brief length.
The picture is also weirdly compelling, maybe most notably for the way Dafoe's character - who is, in this respect, perhaps a stand-in for the Bronx-born Ferrara - seems to be grappling less with the idea that the world is ending than that the city is ending.
Best of all is the half-surreal, half-touching scene of the couple ordering Chinese delivery - needless to say, the tip is sizable - and inviting the courier to Skype his family one last time and share in a moment of common humanity.
Mar 22, 2012Dafoe, who also starred in Ferrara's woefully underseen "Go Go Tales," brings a quiet grace to his role, while Leigh has a rough-hewn emotional directness.
Your last day - or, as it happens, the whole planet's last day - will be just like every other one. Mr. Ferrara makes this point with ingenuity and characteristic thrift by using found news footage to provide images of apocalypse.
Mar 20, 2012The use of stock footage eventually approaches overkill in the montage-heavy climax. Much more impressive is the way Ferrara uses his own "documentary" footage of the city.
The movie is probably best appreciated by devotees of the cult director, who has made some good films and some interesting ones (and some that are both): "King of New York," "Bad Lieutenant," "The Addiction." "4:44" isn't quite in that company.
An hour into Earth and we're waiting for the film to end, not just the planet.
One of Dafoe's deadbeat friends observes, ''The world's been ending ever since it started, man,'' and you may think the same thing about this movie.
In his 4:44 Last Day on Earth, the auteur imagines the apocalypse from an aging NYC hipster's perspective, hitting melancholy notes that may ring true for a small segment of the art-house audience but, without the compelling presence of Willem Dafoe, would have little hope at the box office.
It's only natural that Abel Ferrara's vision of the end of the world should take corporeal form as a quasi-autobiographical hangout movie.
Feels stagy and anti-visceral.
Let's not make 4:44 Last Day on Earth sound cooler than it is. Compared with Lars von Trier's histrionically doomed "Melancholia," the film lacks any serious attempt to grapple with mortality.

Analogue heroes, digital age
The third instalment of THE EXPENDABLES opens this weekend, its biennial mid-August release pattern one facet of a winning formula which has seen Stallone and his ensemble of action heroes take down $573m in global box office to date.
To better understand the method behind the madness we'll be comparing key metrics across the franchise, including a look at growth-adjusted Twitter buzz, followed by some thoughts on how a pirated version hitting the web a few weeks ago may have impacted on the release. First up, a look at the goods:
Release date | 15 Aug 2014 | 17 Aug 2012 | 13 Aug 2010 | ||
Budget | $90m | $100m | $80m | ||
Locations | 3,221 | 3,316 | 3,270 | ||
Critics | 34% | 58% | 43% | ||
Facebook fans | 9.2m | 2.6m | 273k | ||
Twitter buzz | 4.0 | 6.2 | 2.6 | ||
Opening weekend | $26,961,023* | $28,591,370 | $34,825,135 | ||
* Social Cinema-projected 3-day weekend. |
With not much to choose between them, our projection for THE EXPENDABLES 3 is propped up by those 9.2m Facebook Likes, compensating for the poorest critical reception for the franchise so far.
Of course, we've seen recently that Facebook is no guarantee of anything. STEP UP ALL IN mustered a modest $6.5m opening last weekend from 18m Likes, even as a mere 882k Likes for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES belied three decades of accumulated awareness and affection central to its $65.5m opening.
The decline of organic reach makes Facebook a proportionately less potent low-cost marketing platform, while these amorphous legacy followings show an ever-weaker correlation with a property's meaningful fan-base.
Then again, TMNT also reminded us that some movies are critic-proof, coming into last Friday rated 34% on Metacritic and 19% on Rotten Tomatoes. THE EXPENDABLES looks like that kind of franchise, leaving the critics cold even as it lights a flame under casual moviegoers.
For a meaningful franchise buzz comparison we upward adjust previous releases to take into account the increase in Twitter's worldwide monthly active users, here from 49m in Q3 2010 through 167m in Q3 2012 to 271m in Q3 2014:
THE EXPENDABLES 3 could still deliver stellar numbers on the day of release – look at the gear change the first film went through on its opening Friday – but Twitter feels like a strong indicator for this traditionally OTT franchise and with some big guns among the talent you'd expect serious movement here if it's going to open well.
Let's break that firepower down a little:
# of followers | Tweets mentioning movie in last 14 days | |
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER | 3.09m | 0 |
SYLVESTER STALLONE | 1.12m | 0 |
KELLAN LUTZ | 1.08m | 27 |
RONDA ROUSEY | 631k | 8 |
RANDY COUTURE | 355k | 18 |
ROBERT DAVI | 316k | 8 |
TERRY CREWS | 309k | 25 |
VICTOR ORTIZ | 163k | 2 |
DOLPH LUNDGREN | 92.9k | 5 |
KELSEY GRAMMER | 36.6k | 4 |
Really though? Glen Powell taps his ~1k followers up 76 times in a fortnight while Sly and Arnie can't muster one mention between them? I thought Stallone basically WAS this franchise. That said, the middle order look to be getting the word out. So where has all the buzz gone?
Here are the key facts and figures behind the leaked copy of the film:
- On July 24th, three weeks out from release, a high quality version of the film leaks online.
- A lawsuit from Lionsgate, filed on July 31st, seeks to compel six prominent websites to take down links to the pirated copies of the film.
- Lionsgate estimate that, as of August 1st, the film has been downloaded 2.2 million times.
In a soon-to-be-published study researchers at Carnegie Mellon University reckon on pre-release piracy reducing a movie's domestic box office by an average of 19%. If we apply that to our $26.9m projection it drops to $21.8m, which would amount to a disappointing opening haul.
Is it really that simple? Of course not. The metrics we used to arrive at our projection are already subject to the influence of the film leaking, Twitter buzz especially. So how – if at all – are we seeing buzz being affected?
This visualisation of daily sentiment over time shows no discernible increase in positive sentiment resulting from the film being leaked online. Most striking is a pronounced surge in negative sentiment on July 25th, the day after the leak.
Could this be accounted for by a high volume of posts critical of the fact that the pirated copy has appeared online?
Apparently not. In fact, as this breakdown shows, there are more than double the number of posts on July 25th appearing to condone the leak as condemn it. What do we mean by condone? Here's an example, retweets of which drive that preponderance of purple on August 9th:
Thank you, Expendables 3, for being leaked online. If anyone's used to uncontrolled leaks it's the cast of Expendables 3 #ThankYouNoteFriday
— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) August 8, 2014
Okay, so Jimmy Fallon isn't inciting his 13m followers to rush out and commit copyright theft. The tenor of his tweet is celebratory, however, causing it to register in this segment. Either way, it starts to look like the negative spike on July 25th must have been caused by something else.
Could it be that some of the 190,000 people reckoned to have downloaded the leaked copy in the first 24 hours were sharing their verdict on the film itself? If so, to the extent that this is comprised primarily of fans of the franchise and opportunistic serial torrenters – with considerable potential overlap between the two across an 18-25 year-old male demographic – this could be an influential group in terms of guiding wider expectations for the film, and damping down potential positive buzz tighter to release.
This is where we need to look beyond the directly quantitative implications of piracy, recognising that the damage done by the unauthorised distribution of a film has much to do with how the non-paying audience receives it.
One could also argue that, to the extent that they're having a reduced experience of a film designed to be seen on a big screen, the verdict of this audience harshly misrepresents how they would have responded had they held out for the theatrical debut.
Leaving us with a larger-than-life movie being cut down to size by the very formats and devices it's on a mission to transcend. A cruel twist for a franchise which is nothing if not a celebration of doing things the old-fashioned way.

text: The campaign against corruption, which assumed a concrete sense when Anna Hazare and his team introduced the draft Jan Lokpal Bill, is now sought to be debilitated. The political class that could wax eloquent in and outside Parliament on the need to cleanse the system and funded NGOs, that sustain themselves by running advocacy programmes to have systems in place to ensure probity in public life, are desperate to throw stones even while a process that shows some promise —the joint committee to draft a Bill to set up a Lokpal — has just begun its work. An audio CD that sprang up last week, purportedly establishing that Shanti Bhushan too was among those who fixed judges and judgments in return for hefty sums of money , was the cheapest of the tricks.

Look, I don't have a problem with the occasional DH video as the VOD. The whole reason there is a VOD is so that people can log onto pinkbike and see something awesome right away. Constant DH videos get REALLY boring after a while, so you can stop calling people fags on the internet and go find something better to do with your time.

why the hell do wee keep getting shit like this? all it's been the past week is downhill racing videos that don't feature anything out of the ordinary or even remotely amusing. it's just another video of some people going fast down a hill. I personally don't give a shit about races, and I'm sure that other people don't either. mix it up a bit, throw stuff in like cam macauls river gap, that was the sickest video I've seen all year. but I'm really getting sick of all this racing stuff. we don't need to see the qualifying especially. people can go to the video section and search it up for themselves if they really want to. just please, start putting videos that are something that no one has done before and that don't suck, like this one.

Journal of Transportation Security
9-11 and subsequent events have compelled stakeholders to understand transport security as more than a single element of the global networks that move people and goods. Once a routine component of modern transportation, security now represents a vital necessity and an urgent national priority.
The Journal of Transportation Security probes the relevant aspects of many critical areas of study, including supply chain and logistics; information technology; public policy; international business; political science; engineering; transportation; economics; and counterterrorism, among others. This journal is the first to take a global, apolitical, and in-depth multidisciplinary look at the field.
The mission of the journal is to disseminate new research, thought, and analysis for teachers, researchers, policy makers and practitioners around the world who view transportation security as a critical element in the post 9/11 world.

BooksAMA is a reddit for "Ask Me Anything" threads about books. If that idea sounds weird to you, check out the submission that started it all.
Finish the book. BookAMAs are for books that you've read, not books that you're reading.
Search for the title of your book. Repeating books is allowed, but if you're repeating a book that's been done recently, join that conversation instead.
Mark books [f] for fiction, or [nf] for non-fiction.
Top-level posters are expected to check in at least several times over the first eight hours after creating an AMA, and ideally several more times over the next 24 to 48 hours. "Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted. Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.
Assume spoilers Readers should beware that the discussion will most likely deal with important plot points. If you plan on reading the book, you may want to hold off on reading the AMA.
Have the book handy. You might want to refer back to the text.
If you've also read the book, it's your AMA, too. BookAMA is ultimately just another way of managing book discussion, so the more people who've read a given book, the better. Jump in and give your opinion.

I Just [F]inished Toole's 'A Confederacy of Dunces.' AMA (self.BooksAMA)
submitted 2 years ago by collinsdanielp
From the reviews that I have read on LibraryThing, this seems like a very polarizing book; people seem to love it or hate it. I definitely liked it (didn't exactly love it, not one of my all time favorites, but definitely very good). I thought it was humorous and very well written with a story that was interesting if at times meandering. The characters are fantastic; even if there is not one in the book that I really liked, they are all well developed and round, Ignatius is very round indeed. I really liked how the book ended; many story lines were ended in ways that I liked without any of it being predictable. It is very unfortunate that Toole killed himself so young, this book begs for a sequel, and if there was one I would start reading it immediately.
I hope the movie with Zack Galifianakis comes out soon, I am very excited to see how this story transfers onto the big screen.
[–]drawmeasheep 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Do you picture Ignatius in modern-day time as a ridiculous neckbeard? Because I couldn't stop thinking about him relative to that modern trope. Completely socially clueless, condescending, obsessive both about his interests as well as any perceived slights, etc.
[–]MaryOutside 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Actually, thinking of malicious "neckbeards" as Ignatius Reilly helps me find compassion for them.
[–]KuchDaddy 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Yeah, a lot of people don't like this book. I enjoyed it a lot, but thought the ending was disappointing. I can't really remember exactly why, I read it a long time ago, but I felt like started great and fizzled out as it went.
I think a lot of people have a hard time liking a book in which the protagonist is so unlikable.
[–]collinsdanielp[S] 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I actually liked the ending very much. People ultimately got what they deserved, other than Ignatius, but he is kind of the force that changes others fates.
[–]MaryOutside 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I love that he makes this adventurous get away, with sirens pulling up to his house, off to New York City for god knows what, especially after his inability to leave New Orleans (except that ruinous greyhound trip). Up to that point I didn't realize how much I was actually rooting for him. The calamitous final scene in the Night of Joy seemed like the end for him, but he gets away! He gets away from having to face up to "reality", he can continue being his own foil. I liked that very much.
[–]fearoftrains 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
What did you think the funniest part was? I read it thinking I would love it, but I just didn't find it as laugh-out-loud hilarious as I was led to believe it would be.
[–]longooglite 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
My personal favorite is his plan to replace war with a gay orgy.
[–]collinsdanielp[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I don't necessarily know a 'funniest part.' I thought it was very humorous overall. The way Reily interacts with people is humorous. I thought the party scene, especially the part where Reilly thinks to himself that chains will become standard in all houses with children wanting to be chained up, was funny. I thought the part about him referencing a book he wrote then mentioning that he was not sure if the book could be found in the library because he just sent a hand written copy on a Big Chief pad of paper was also very funny. There were many times where Reily's response to people was so out of the blue that I found it very funny. I definitely laughed out loud multiple times throughout the book.

'Bike to Work Day' with King County Parks tomorrow at Log Boom Park in Kenmore
Tomorrow is "Bike to Work Day," and King County Parks will be on the Burke-Gilman Trail in Kenmore during the morning commute to thank all of those riders who are doing their part to reduce traffic congestion and cut tailpipe emissions.
Stop by the King County Parks tent from 6–9 a.m. Friday at Log Boom Park to fuel up with free KIND bars, to pick up the latest maps and regional trail construction updates, and to enter a drawing for a free pair of tickets to a show at this summer's Marymoor Park Concert Series.
With 175 miles of trails linking neighborhoods, communities and cities throughout the county, King County Parks' regional trails system offers a great alternative to the usual old commute.

When it comes to climate change, deforestation and toxic waste, the assumption has been that conservative views on these topics are intractable. But new research from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that such viewpoints can be changed after all, when the messages about the need to be better stewards of the land are couched in terms of fending off threats to the "purity" and "sanctity" of Earth and our bodies.
A UC Berkeley study has found that while people who identified themselves as conservatives tend to be less concerned about the environment than their liberal counterparts, their motivation increased significantly when they read articles that stressed the need to "protect the purity of the environment" and were shown such repellant images as a person drinking dirty water, a forest filled with garbage, and a city under a cloud of smog.
Published today (Dec. 10) in the online issue of the journal Psychological Science, the findings indicate that reframing pro-environmental rhetoric according to values that resonate strongly with conservatives can reduce partisan polarization on ecological matters.
"These findings offer the prospect of pro-environmental persuasion across party lines," said Robb Willer, a UC Berkeley social psychologist and coauthor of the study. "Reaching out to conservatives in a respectful and persuasive way is critical, because large numbers of Americans will need to support significant environment reforms if we are going to deal effectively with climate change, in particular."
Researchers conducted a content analysis of more than 200 op-eds published in such newspapers as The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal, and found the pro-environmental arguments were most often pitched in terms of moral obligations to care about the natural environment and protect it from harm, a theme that resonates more powerfully with liberals, they added, than with conservatives.

Forbes Study: Apple apps crash more than Android apps
http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomioger...d-a-data-dive/ Ever wonder why certain mobile apps you use crash so much? It turns out there are many possible reasons. And it can vary particularly depending on whether you are using an Apple iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, or an Android device. One of the reasons for app crashes is the proliferation of mobile operating systems on iOS and Android. As Apple and Google have released more new operating systems, each with multiple updates, app developers face more operating systems to test apps on. In data that mobile app monitoring startup Crittercism compiled for app crashes between December 1 and 15, there were at least 23 different iOS operating systems on which apps had crashed and 33 Android operating systems on which apps had crashed. (See the graphs above.) Note that the graphs that separate out Android and iOS show these number of operating systems and the graph that combines both iOS and Android shows less22 iOS and 17 Android. The largest proportion of app crashes from both iOS and Android platforms were on iOS 5.01 with 28.64% of overall crashes (in a normalized data set). That makes sense since iOS 5 was still relatively new at that time and many apps still need to work out the kinks with the new OS. But there are also older iOS versions that have a significant proportion of app crashes. For example, iOS 4.2.10 had 12.64% of app crashes, iOS 4.3.3 had 10.66% and iOS 4.1 had 8.24%. One other point that this made clear to me is that many people apparently take their time updating their iPhone software or never update it at all. The data raises two main questions for me: why do apps on these operating systems crash so much, and do iOS apps crash more than Android apps? On the first question of why apps crash, the reasons are many, says Crittercism CEO Andrew Levy. This can be due to hardware issues, such as the use of location or GPS services or cameras; it could be due to the Internet connection, that is, how a phone connects to 3G or WiFi, or that the device is not connected to the Internet at a certain moment, or that something happens during the switch between 3G and WiFi. There could also be issues with language support on certain devices. There can also be memory problems if an app uses too much memory. |

I have an iPhone... Not impressed by this.
At the end of the day people can say whatever about whichever phones they carry but I do not see Android phones on the news in regards to such matters, whereas, iPhone's app privacy issue has been shown here in the UK for the past 2 days. http://www.itproportal.com/2012/02/1...vacy-concerns/ |

The Central Bureau of Investigation may not name former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah in the supplementary charge sheet to be filed in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, said agency sources. The CBI has already filed the first charge sheet against the policemen directly involved in the alleged killing of Ishrat Jahan and two others about eight years ago.
While CBI spokesperson said the decision to file the additional charge sheet was still under consideration, sources said investigations conducted so far had not thrown up concrete evidence indicating Mr. Shah's involved in the conspiracy behind the "fake" encounter.
The agency plans to file the second charge sheet in connection with the alleged conspiracy hatched to eliminate Ishrat and the other two in a stage-managed encounter. Accordingly the agency probed the suspected role of four Intelligence Bureau officials and the then political masters.
While senior CBI officials earlier said that no sanction was necessary to prosecute the intelligence officials as the activities they allegedly indulged in were beyond the nature of their duty, unconfirmed reports suggested that the agency has now sought a legal opinion in this regard as a precautionary measure.
The CBI in the first charge sheet named police officers, P.P. Pandey, D. G. Vanzara, G. L. Singhal, Tarun Barot, N. K. Amin, J. G. Parmar and Anaju Chaudhary as accused.
