5.0 out of 5 stars In the beginning.......,
Mark Edwards - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hee-Haw (Audio CD)
If you like any of the Birthday Party's later stuff, then you'll love this. But beware - the track listing given is wrong, and this album doesn't include Release The Bats or Blast Off. But it does include Happy Birthday, Mr Clarinet and The Friend Catcher, as well as other tracks that were recorded by the Boys Next Door just before they changed their name and early stuff by BP. For a proper track listing have a look at the import version, which is also on Amazon.
Ignore "Door Door", which even the band themselves didn't like - this is where the class stuff really begins.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Hee-Haw (Audio CD)
The prolific reviewer of unfashionable lost' gems has his work cut out yet again.
It's not a huge challenge I suppose; sitting at a laptop listening to cracking music over and over again (that's when I'm not out hellraising you understand), trying to convey in mere words what this stuff has meant over the years, and trying to impart a suggestion to any pop people out there in cyber land, what a certain group or sound is all about.
Mere words.
Any-one coming to the Birthday Party now is in for a surprise.
It'll come as no surprise to learn that I think (therefore its true!) this compilation of their early singles, bits and bobs and whatever, contains their best work.
Vitally, it kicks off with a stormer: 'Mr. Clarinet' and I dear reader, trusted friend, am struggling to illustrate just how good this song is. Screeching guitar and wild sax lead us into singer Nick Caves' wailing, haunting performance. He sounds as if he's in genuine pain, not just suffering for his 'art'. First time I heard it, I thought the rest of the band were proper torturing him; you don't make noises like that unless your bits are in a mediaeval device!
Anyway, that out of the way, we are then treated to another 12 stand-out songs; each very different but each defined by the obviously insane Caves' eerie vocals.
Tellingly, and blatantly, he's coming from the Pere Ubu/ Cramps camp (former brilliant, latter tedious), and this is one of those numerous occasions when the pupil turns out cleverer than the mentor, 'Guilt Parade' indeed!
Later on, he has a nervous breakdown during 'the Hair Shirt' but that fabulous group (I was gonna say behind him, but I think they're more to the side) just keep him this side of the abyss with some extraordinarily tight thrash and percussion.
This is invigoratingly original and thoroughly modern rock music.
Whether Cave is genuinely crackers is another matter entirely, but you certainly wouldn't invite him round for dinner on this form (imagine if it was spaghetti!).
Somebody told me the Birthday Party popped a bit when they came to England (I always do), perhaps they should've stayed put in Oz.
Clearly, you shouldn't deprive a genius/mental of his inspiration.
Anyway, the Birthday Party's early stuff; nice and simple on a cd. Endearing and enduring.
And not a donkey joke in sight.

While it took quite a while (!), with several visits by three of us to our respective antipodes, incl. my exciting trip to Melbourne and Monash University two years ago, our paper on ABC for state space models was arXived yesterday! Thanks to my coauthors, Gael Martin, Brendan McCabe, and Worapree Maneesoonthorn, I am very glad of this outcome and of the new perspective on ABC it produces. For one thing, it concentrates on the selection of summary statistics from a more econometrics than usual point of view, defining asymptotic sufficiency in this context and demonstrated that both asymptotic sufficiency and Bayes consistency can be achieved when using maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of an auxiliary model as summary statistics. In addition, the proximity to (asymptotic) sufficiency yielded by the MLE is replicated by the score vector. Using the score instead of the MLE as a summary statistics allows for huge gains in terms of speed. The method is then applied to a continuous time state space model, using as auxiliary model an augmented unscented Kalman filter. We also found in the various state space models tested therein that the ABC approach based on the marginal [likelihood] score was performing quite well, including wrt Fearnhead's and Prangle's (2012) approach… I like the idea of using such a generic object as the unscented Kalman filter for state space models, even when it is not a particularly accurate representation of the true model. Another appealing feature of the paper is in the connections made with indirect inference.

In my book review of the recent book by Dirk Kroese and Joshua Chan, Statistical Modeling and Computation, I mistakenly and persistently typed the name of the second author as Joshua Chen. This typo alas made it to the printed and on-line versions of the subsequent CHANCE 27(2) column. I am thus very much sorry for this mistake of mine and most sincerely apologise to the authors. Indeed, it always annoys me to have my name mistyped (usually as Roberts!) in references. [If nothing else, this typo signals it is high time for a change of my prescription glasses.]

Dirk Kroese (from UQ, Brisbane) and Joshua Chan (from ANU, Canberra) just published a book entitled Statistical Modeling and Computation, distributed by Springer-Verlag (I cannot tell which series it is part of from the cover or frontpages…) The book is intended mostly for an undergrad audience (or for graduate students with no probability or statistics background). Given that prerequisite, Statistical Modeling and Computation is fairly standard in that it recalls probability basics, the principles of statistical inference, and classical parametric models. In a third part, the authors cover "advanced models" like generalised linear models, time series and state-space models. The specificity of the book lies in the inclusion of simulation methods, in particular MCMC methods, and illustrations by Matlab code boxes. (Codes that are available on the companion website, along with R translations.) It thus has a lot in common with our Bayesian Essentials with R, meaning that I am not the most appropriate or least
unbiased reviewer for this book. Continue reading
particle efficient importance samplingPosted in Statistics with tags efficient importance sampling, hidden Markov models, importance sampling, particle filters, sequential Monte Carlo, state space model, stochastic volatility on October 15, 2013 by xi'an
Marcel Scharth and Robert Kohn just arXived a new article entitled "particle efficient importance sampling". What is—the efficiency—about?! The spectacular diminution in variance—(the authors mention a factor of 6,000 when compared with regular particle filters!—in a stochastic volatility simulation study.
If I got the details right, the improvement stems from a paper by Richard and Zhang (Journal of Econometrics, 2007). In a state-space/hidden Markov model setting, (non-sequential) importance sampling tries to approximate the smoothing distribution one term at a time, ie p(xt|xt-1,y1:n), but Richard and Zhang (2007) modify the target by looking at
where the last term χ(xt-1,y1:n) is the normalising constant of the proposal kernel for the previous (in t-1) target, k(xt-1|xt-2,y1:n). This kernel is actually parameterised as k(xt-1|xt-2,at(y1:n)) and the EIS algorithm optimises those parameters, one term at a time. The current paper expands Richard and Zhang (2007) by using particles to approximate the likelihood contribution and reduce the variance once the "optimal" EIS solution is obtained. (They also reproduce Richard's and Zhang's tricks of relying on the same common random numbers.
This approach sounds like a "miracle" to me, in the sense(s) that (a) the "normalising constant" is far from being uniquely defined (and just as far from being constant in the parameter at) and (b) it is unrelated with the target distribution (except for the optimisation step). In the extreme case when the normalising constant is also constant… in at, this step clearly is useless. (This also opens the potential for an optimisation in the choice of χ(xt-1,y1:n)…)
The simulation study starts from a univariate stochastic volatility model relying on two hidden correlated AR(1) models. (There may be a typo in the definition in Section 4.1, i.e. a Φi missing.) In those simulations, EIS brings a significant variance reduction when compared with standard particle filters and particle EIS further improves upon EIS by a factor of 2 to 20 (in the variance). I could not spot in the paper which choice had been made for χ()… which is annoying as I gathered from my reading that it must have a strong impact on the efficiency attached to the name of the method!

Engineers Without Borders – Lebanon
|31 December 2009
|Community development
|Beirut, Lebanon
|Nader Hajj Shehadeh
Parent organization
Engineers Without Borders – Lebanon (EWB–Lebanon) is a non-profit group of engineers dedicated for public work and sustainable development. The group aims to help the disadvantaged communities allover Lebanon with no borders or preferences.[1]
- 1 Establishment
- 2 Mission & Vision
- 3 Selected Activities
- 4 References
- 5 External links
EWB – Lebanon was founded as a recognized start-group working under the close guidance of Engineers without Borders – International (EWB- I), a non-profit corporation established in November 2002 in the State of Colorado, USA with regional offices in Mexico, India, Belgium, and Egypt.[2] It was accepted as a start-up group at the EWB-International network in December 2009.
EWB-Lebanon has university chapters in Lebanon's top universities allowing engineering students to join the group and participate in engineering development activities. There are more than 250 student members in EWB-Lebanon chapters at Notre Dame University – Louaize, American University of Beirut, Lebanese American University, and University of Balamand. The first chapter includes started in 2011 at under the support and supervision of the Faculty of Engineering at Notre Dame University – Louaize main campus in Zouk Mosbeh.[3]
Mission & Vision[edit]
EWB-Lebanon was established in an aim to promote sustainable development and help disadvantaged communities have a better style of living. The mission is to use engineering knowledge and skills to help the unfortunates all around the country.
EWB-Lebanon beliefs are:
- Survival should not be a target, it is a right.
- Borders are established for political reasons! Humanitarian work knows no borders.
- Education is a gift, a gift that shall be implemented for good.[4]
Selected Activities[edit]
Beekeeping for Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Rural Livelihood[edit]
EWB-Lebanon implements development in agricultural rural areas in Lebanon. The project entitled "Beekeeping for Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Rural Livelihood" aims at supporting poor families in rural regions through introducing the concept of sustainable beekeeping and providing them with education, financial support, and technical cooperation in the field. Targeting the poorest regions of the country, the project identifies underdeveloped families with good potential but no financial or technical abilities, to help them develop an additional riskless source of income. [5] [6] [7]

Targeting the poorest regions of the country, the project identifies underdeveloped families with good potential but no financial or technical abilities, to help them develop an additional riskless source of income. [8]
Environment Awareness Lectures[edit]
EWB Students from university chapters at the American University in Beirut (AUB), Notre Dame University (NDU), University of Balamand (UOB), and the Lebanese American University (LAU) join hands to help the people in need at Sesobel. The project aimed at implementing energy saving solutions at the Sesobel headquarters in Aintoura, and was jointly implemented with the private company Solar World which supplied LED lamps and solar water heaters.[9] [10]
Participation in SEEM 2010[edit]
From March, 3 to 6, 2010, EWB-Lebanon, represented by its founder and acting president, Mr. Nader Hajj Shehadeh, made the first appearance within the EWB-International Network in the Second Annual Meeting of the Eastern Mediterranean Region at EWB held in Larnaca, Cyprus under the title "Sustainable Engineering in the Eastern Mediterranean". EWB-Lebanon was introduced to the other groups and discussed with the participants the future plans of the newest EWB group.[11]
Development of "Turbocycler I"- Human-Powered Water Pump[edit]
EWB- Lebanon Team developed a unique multi-purpose bicycle kit that is used for cycling, water pumping, and electricity generation. The "Turbocycler I" was developed as a demonstration kit to illustrate electricity-independent power generation in its mechanical and electrical forms.
This model is designed to assist farmers and other users in rural and non-electrified areas in their agricultural and non-agricultural uses. In addition to being a mean of transportation, the human-powered water pump is used for water pumping purposes.
It is able to pump water to an elevation of 2.5 meters at 12 liters per minute by pedaling at normal running speed. Water is pumped through a 3/8 inch pipe to the desired elevation and then flows through a water wheel chained to an electricity generator that lights an LED lamp with no use of grid electricity.
Turbocycler I illustrates the efficient use of a normal mountain bike bicycle for transportation as well as water pumping purposes; all sustainable, carbon free, and environmentally friendly.
The model is built using an old mountain bike plugged into a frame with a 0.5 hp centrifugal pump attached to the flywheel of the back tire through a metallic chain.[12]

There really isn't much information to go on. Anonymous health professionals coming forward to report an "emerging health crisis" and "alarming trend" sound scary, but without names, numbers, and socioeconomic data, it means nothing. Why are pregnant mothers, or women generally, becoming addicted to marijuana? Are there other drugs (OTC and recreational drugs) in their systems? How is this connected to legalization? Correlation or causation (the article suggests causation in that they are addicted because marijuana is legal, which is stupid to the 'nth degree) Are there more marijuana addicts over all? Where are they getting their fix?
I'm not meaning to suggest marijuana is harmless, but let cooler heads prevail and find the roots of addiction before putting in to law a knee jerk reaction.
Of course, on the other hand, Colorado did bring it on themselves and they are going to have to sort it out.

Something to be considered. Every woman involved in a porn shoot or film is someone's daughter. Whether she is there voluntarily, or coerced. Every woman involved in prostitution is also someone's daughter, again, voluntarily or otherwise. Would you want your daughter involved in the porn and sex industry? If you are a sane and loving parent, then the answer is no. So why is it acceptable for other people's daughters? If it's bad for own daughter, you can be assured it's just as bad for other parent's daughters.

In a legal document like that, they are referring to trained drivers are they not, especially of the variety that will literally drive while you sleep in the berth?
Christian or not, it is both unwise false to list JESUS as a co-driver, particularly since there are many men named "Jesus" in the US. Be clear and precise in your documentation or expect to reprimanded if not fired.
If you wish to express faith, do so; but do it in a way and at a time that does not leave doubts about your sanity and honesty.

Despicable. How insane and abusive can a parent get? Completely unjustified.
1. Stranger danger is a myth. A child is far more likely to be attacked or kidnapped by family (as this demonstrates, although typically it's done by the non-custodial parent). Strangers very rarely victimize children they don't know. Parents, significant others, and even priests and teachers all have a greater reputation for exploiting children than do strangers.
2. Nothing justifies outright trauma to a child. It doesn't matter whether this six year old was being disobedient toward his mother or ignored her guidance concerning strangers. On a related note, I don't think schools are justified in simulating active shooter drills during instructional hours for the same reasons. The risk and damage of trauma is greater than the actual risk of danger.
3. His ability to speak to strangers may save his life or the lives of others. Too many kids are helpless and infantalized and have no idea how to relate to other people or ask for help. They simply give up or commit suicide when the going gets too rough. Too many people have heard "stranger danger" all their childhood and grew up with the habit of not speaking to new neighbors and keeping their eyes averted. Entire neighborhoods are full of people who distrust and despise each other as potential enemies instead of friends and a support network.

We don't do cable or satellite TV in my house. If we are going to sit down and watch something, it better be available in BR or DVD or available online because we won't justify spending money on cable, not when most of it is distortion and filth broken up only by commercials. If it's worth our money to see it, we'll pay for the program specifically.

Is there a large group of Muslims who regularly attend American rodeo? Is this in demand in Texas? I don't live in Texas, but somehow I doubt either situation is true and that that move is glaringly out of context. It would seem more appropriate to have an Imam offer an invocation at a town hall meeting or soccer game in Detroit, where there are lots of Muslims. But over a rodeo with an audience that primarily consists of Christians, that's not inclusive. That's ignorant and marginalizing, and about as appropriate for that venue as singing another nation's national anthem.

Not sure his attendance there, or anywhere else in public is called for. He can't go anywhere without a small army of security and entourage members. He would only be in the way. There is nothing he can say, without contradicting everything he has said about Islam being a peaceful religion and how the "future doesn't belong to blah blah blah people who disrespect Islam blah blah". He's in a corner, and for once is doing what he should do when it comes to issues not specifically outlined in his job description, which is to keep quiet about it. He should lay low. While I doubt it is his fault directly for the terrorism in France, he has done no significant and lasting thing to combat and condemn global terrorism and jihad.

False accusations. That's why I never ever say "yea" or "nay" when someone tells me a rape story. It's emotional poker when someone is playing the rape card. Either they mean it, or they don't; and reacting emotionally is the wrong thing to do. If advise is what they seek, I either tell them to file a police report, or I say nothing.

"Take, for instance, the fact that nine children were treated for accidentally consuming marijuana at Children's Hospital Colorado in the first half of 2014; this was more than the entire number treated in all of 2013, the Times reported"
Dear Blaze,
You may want to clarify the above statement. Did the children consume marijuana on the hospital's premises, or else where. The way it is written implies that the children consumed marijuana while at the hospital. That would a bigger story than MJ laced Halloween candy any day.

Police officers, as far as my understanding goes do not give chase to motorcyclists that do not pull over. Too large a chance of causing a serious accident. They take note of the lisences and either mail them their tickets, or arrest them at their homes. I don't think they got away with it at all.

The term "lakes" is a deadly misnomer. More like in-land seas. The Great Lakes, and Lake Superior in particular, are dangerous waters. There are over 600 documented wrecks and sinkings in these lakes. They basically have to close in the winter, even with special boats and barges designed specifically Michigan's waters in mind. Shallows, sudden drop offs, rocks, swift and violent storms, ice, ice, and more ice from mid fall to late spring; it's amazing the Great Lakes were considered navigable at all before modern imaging, charts, and GPS. The lakes were charted by trial and error; agonizing, expensive, life and soul claiming error.

OK. A hostile force takes over Libya and the commandeers commercial aircraft, in Libya, who they just took over, for whatever nefarious purposes. USDOT/FAA knows to clear the skies if necessary, and USAF knows what to look for and, per regulation, shoots down non-responsive aircraft that meets description of missing aircraft. Big whoop! The enemy has repeatedly made their plans quite clear. The question I have to ask is why distract the American public with this? Yes, there is the matter of reporting the news in an honest way; but lately I wonder what is hiding behind the big story. What's on page five that we are never supposed to get to or think important because the big story is the scary terrorists doing what scary terrorists generally do? Terrifying terrorists terrifying terrified people. Big story!

It's a clever idea, but consider this. If you are looking at going to a party, where you think you may need this either you are…
A. Knowingly walking in to a dangerous situation: a party with a jerk of an ex boyfriend and/or his friends.
B. Risk averse and afraid of being around strangers (what a romantic first date, testing the drink he bought you for drugs, yeah like that's conducive to a healthy, trusting relationship)
Rape is not the victim's fault, but deliberately ignoring substantiated danger is stupid. As for paranoia, it's seldom justified, and not healthy.

Former NOPD Lieutenant Testifies About Danziger Bridge Shooting
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Lohman testified that as soon as he arrived at the bridge, he knew the shooting was unjustified. He says police weren't sure who opened fire. He says he later met with officers to coordinate their report, and when a sergeant suggested planting a gun, he says he told him that if one was planted, no one else had to know. Lohman later pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. Defense attorneys for the five former or current officers now on trial in federal court have argued that the chaos that engulfed the city only days after Hurricane Katrina is a critical factor. Officers say they were responding to reports of shots fired at police. Lohman is expected to continue his testimony today.
For WWNO, I'm Eileen Fleming.

The Jacksonville Jaguars won the race to claim former Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jason Babin off waivers Wednesday in an attempt to improve their pass rush. Eight teams tried to land Babin, NFL.com reported, but the Jaguars had the second highest position on the NFL's waiver claim list and took advantage of it. The Eagles released Babin on Tuesday. The Jaguars will pick up the remaining $1.69 million on Babin's salary this season. He's scheduled to make $4.225 million next season under his current contract. Babin, 32, a ninth-year pro from Western Michigan, had 18 sacks last year but 5.5 in 11 games this season.

|3 - 5 nights
Independent house on three levels: ground floor with living room and kitchen equipped with dishwasher and washmachine. First floor up with spacious double room with possibility of and extra single bed on request, large bathroom with bathtube and two sinks, 2 nd floor with little single room with one single bed - possibility of a second single bed.
free wi fi
LOCATION: Our hous 'Rugagiuffa' is located in a perfect location: just 5 min walk from St Mark square and Rialto bridge.
It is a perfect accomodation for a couple or for a family of 2-4 people.
The quiet street Rugagiuffa is filled with restaurants, bakery, pastry shops, grocery, vegetable and fruit stand, and a pharmacy.
We are a family of three and our daughter is four years old. The property was perfect for our requirements. Clean, spacious and well equipped and maintained.
The smaller room on the top floor was perfect for our daughter and the main bedroom was a good size.
Having the living space downstairs also made it much easier to keep our daughter entertained whilst we planned our days etc.
Lots of nice places nearby to pick up fresh food and perfectly positioned to access all of the main areas of Venice by foot without ever being far away.
Highly recommended and felt like very good value for money in a place certainly not noted for being such.
First time in Italy and our first stop was Venice. Our family of 5 enjoy the place and the central location, Ilaria was a great host. We will rent again. We recommend this property 100%! Thank you so much Ilaria to make our first visit to Venice a very memorable one!
This was my third time staying in this apartment.. and there are many to choose from but I always decided to return to this apartment. The best apartment I've ever stayed in Venice! Quiet, very private location down a short alley. Mere steps from the fruit vendor, two bakeries, and a deli selling all types of prosciutto, and cheeses so all your daily necessities are easily fulfilled. Despite its hidden nature, and extreme privacy, the apt. is only eight or nine minutes from San Marco, and five minutes to the vaporatto so it's easy to get to the apartment with your luggage. Any assistance with any needs, be it galoshes for aqua alta, or calling for a taxi, or even restaurant / entertainment advice is happily given by the apt.'s owner, Ilaria who runs a wonderful, well reviewed, hotel less than 100m from the apt. So each one of our needs were met with wonderful service. The apt. is gorgeous, two spacious floors with another single room on a third floor so there is plenty of space to spread out. The wireless internet is fast, and dependable. The full kitchen is clean, and the appliances work perfectly. The bathroom is large, with nice water pressure. Most importantly is the presence of a washing machine! Clothes can be hung out to dry, or if a dryer is needed, the apt. is also steps away from a laundrymat. Needless to say, the apt. is central to wonderful restaurants, and sites, if one can even choose sites in this beautiful city. Stay in this apartment with complete confidence that your holiday will be restful, safe, quiet, and infinitely comfortable.
Nice and quiet place,very convenient,not too much daylight,but perfectly situated with everything within walking distance.
Very nice and helpful owner,storage of baggage was not a problem at all on the last day after checking out.
Place to return to.
Bravo pour cette prestation
Appartement très confortable, bien chauffé et bien équipé (manque juste un lave-vaisselle)
Idéalement situe au cœur de venise a mi distance du rialto et place saint Marc
Encore merci pour votre accueil très sympathique
Nous conseillons sans réserve et reviendrons
Stephane, Zohra, les 3 enfants et ma maman qui a adoré
Location propre avec une bonne literie et très bien située.
La propriétaire ( parfaitement francophile) est accueillante et propose, pour le dernier jour, de laisser les bagages dans l'hôtel familial tout proche.
Un petit inconvenient cependant, la maison est trop sombre : en plein jour, toutes les lumières doivent être allumées.
La boulangerie proche est également parfois bruyante la nuit ( à Venise les livraisons se font de nuit).
L'ensemble du séjour reste agréable.
Our house Rugagiuffa is located in the street Rugagiuffa, near one of the most beautiful plaza of Venice, Campo Santa Maria Formosa . Here you can find cafe' and restaurants where you can relax after a day of sightseeing.
Calle Rugagiuffa is just at 5 minuits walk from San Zaccaria waterbus station and 5 minuits walk from St Mark's square, a perfect location to start visiting our unique city. You can reach the main attractions in just a short walk.
And if you come in Summer time in 20 minuits you can reach venice beach called Lido with a short 15 minuits waterbus ride. You can combine relax on the beach and cultural sightseeing in one unique vacation.

Happy New Year to everyone! :)
This week I will provide distilled information about GeoClustering.
SQL Server Failover Clustering, which includes support for both local and multisite failover configurations, is designed to provide high availability and disaster recovery for SQL Server. The multisite failover clustering technology has been enhanced significantly in SQL Server 2012.
The one cardinal consideration to keep in mind with deploying all of these workloads on multi-site clustering is data replication. As opposed to local clusters, multi-site failover clusters share no central storage. Cluster data must be replicated and synchronized between all of the sites of a multi-site cluster. You will therefore need a third-party data replication solution. However, Windows Server 2008 takes care of the rest of the clustering needs (heartbeat monitoring, failover, etc.) in these deployment scenarios. Microsoft cannot provide or suggest methods to replicate the data between the remote sites.
Windows Failover Clustering is a prerequisite for implementing SQL Server Availability Groups, so the first reference should be these articles and whitepapers about Windows GeoCluster:
Requirements and Recommendations for a Multi-Site Failover Cluster
Microsoft Windows Multi-Site Failover Cluster Best Practices
Description of what to consider when you deploy Windows Server 2008 failover cluster nodes on different, routed subnets
Regarding SQLServer running on a GeoCluster:

Review: `We Bought a Zoo' not as hair as it looks
It's a beautiful film, too: Everything is bathed in this sort of magical sunlight, the work of cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto ("Brokeback Mountain," "Lust, Caution"), which enhances the sensation that anything is possible. This is the first feature from Crowe since the heavy-handed, overly quirky "Elizabethtown," and while it's not a complete return to form, it's close enough.
"We Bought a Zoo," a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG for language and some thematic elements. Running time: 123 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions:
G - General audiences. All ages admitted.
PG - Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
PG-13 - Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13. Some material may be inappropriate for young children.
R - Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
NC-17 - No one under 17 admitted.

How important is self-teaching prior to entering the programming world?
This Q&A is part of a biweekly series of posts highlighting common questions encountered by technophiles and answered by users at Stack Exchange, a free, community-powered network of 80+ Q&A sites.
ThePlan asks:
I'm 16. I started programming about a year ago when I was about to start high-school. I'm going for a career in programming, and I'm doing my best to learn as much as I can. When I first started, I learned the basics of C++ from a book and I started to learn things by myself from there on. Nowadays I'm much more experienced than I was a year ago. I knew I had to study by myself because high-school won't (likely) teach me anything valuable about programming, and I want to be prepared.

BBC World Service radio 'jammed in China'
More News from Agence France-Presse
LONDON—The BBC said Monday that its World Service shortwave radio broadcasts in English are being jammed in China in a deliberate move by the authorities there to cause "maximum disruption."
"The BBC strongly condemns this action which is designed to disrupt audiences' free access to news and information," the world's largest broadcaster said in a statement.
The corporation added that while it was not possible to determine the source of the blocking, "extensive and coordinated efforts are indicative of a well-resourced country such as China."
The BBC said its satellite services had been jammed on several occasions over the last couple of years. Shortwave jamming is less common but has previously hit the broadcaster's Persian broadcasts in Iran.
"The jamming of shortwave transmissions is being timed to cause maximum disruption to BBC World Service English broadcasts in China," said Peter Horrocks, director of BBC Global News.
"The deliberate and co-ordinated efforts by authorities in countries such as China and Iran illustrate the significance and importance of the role the BBC undertakes to provide impartial and accurate information to audiences around the world."

Aside from having to bring back the car 5 times for a simple repair which still hasn't been done successfully, the service department is full of teenage looking kids that have no training or skill in doing anything. When I complained about the mpg which is now lower after 4500 miles than it was when the car was new, I was told "what did I expect since I bought the car with the bigger engine" and when complaining about all the buzzy engine sounds from under the hood I was told that I shouldn't expect much because I didn't buy a mercedes benz after all. I hate this car and especially the dealer and I will be trading it in the first chance I get. [violative content deleted]
I don't know which car this guy is talking about because he certainly isn't describing our fantastic KIA Forte SX hatchback. What makes the SX so special is the power of the 2.4 liter engine and the smooth six speed automatic transmission. The car flies on the highway, cruising 80 mph at only 2,500 rpms. Passing other cars is a piece of cake and highway comfort is outstanding, especially on long trips.
Our fuel economy on highway only driving is approximately 32 mpg, sometimes slightly higher. Read my review to see all of the positive aspects of the Forte SX which is one of the great values in the automobile market.
I will make two other quick comments. So far, after six months and over 15,000 miles we had one minor problem, a misaligned glove box that was fixed under warranty. And our dealer is wonderful.

Severe cast burn after bunionectomy in a patient who received peripheral nerve blocks for postoperative analgesia

Abstract: Although regional anesthesia offers advantages for intraoperative and postoperative pain relief, it is not possible without complications. A case of a significant burn injury after splint placement is described after a peripheral nerve block was performed for postoperative pain management. It is our hope that this case alerts physicians and others involved in the management of postoperative patients to the challenges of managing a blocked extremity after thermal cast placement and offers solutions that can be standardized.
Keywords: Peripheral nerve block, cast burn, postoperative complication

Prediction & Box Score
PapaJohns.com Bowl
History, Each Team's Best Bowl Moments, & More
Although Cincinnati was hoping
for a higher profile venue in
December, say the Sun Bowl or
Meineke Car Care Bowl, a chance
to win a second bowl game in the
same calendar year and a tenth
game for the first time since
1951 will be plenty enough
motivation in Birmingham.
Along with Connecticut, the
Bearcats were one the Big East's
big surprises, flirting with a
league title well into November
before fading after a loss to
West Virginia on Nov. 17. The
team has responded very well
under first-year head coach
Brian Kelly, quickly adopting
his passer-friendly "Cat Attack"
offense and setting a school
record for points in a season.
The new system wound up making a
star out of Wake Forest export
Ben Mauk, who flipped 27
touchdown passes and led the
league in passing efficiency.
On defense, Cincy did a fair
amount of attacking as well,
stuffing the run with a veteran
front four, and leading the Big
East in both sacks and turnover
margin. Very quietly, Kelly has
Cincinnati ramping up toward
bigger and better things, but
will he be on board when the
program gets there? One of the
rising stars in the coaching
ranks, his name has been linked
to some higher-profile openings
this month.
Kelly's future at Cincinnati is
a topic of uncertainty, but Jeff
Bower's future at Southern Miss
is not. After 17 successful
years in Hattiesburg, he was
forced to resign following a
disappointing 7-5 season that
many felt would end with a
league title and a berth in the
Liberty Bowl. Bower will be on
the sidelines one final time,
facing a familiar foe that was a
member of Conference USA from
Early 20-point defeats to
Tennessee and Boise State
lowered the bar for the Golden
Eagles in 2007, but it was an
inexcusable home loss to Rice on
Oct. 3 that sent shockwaves
throughout the conference and
the program. Southern Miss
recovered to nab a ninth bowl
berth in the last decade, but
never mounted a challenge in the
East Division. While it has
star power on both sides of the
ball in RB Damion Fletcher and
LB Gerald McRath, the supporting
cast is average, and the
signature "Nasty Bunch" defense
was not vintage quality during
the regular season.
The PapaJohns.com Bowl will be
an audition of sorts for both
Kelly and Bower. While Kelly
could be in line for a
substantial promotion, Bower has
been steadfast since his
resignation that he's not
through with coaching.
Players to
One of Kelly's big concerns when
he coached the Bearcats in last
year's International Bowl was
whether or
not he had enough quality
receivers to effectively run his
offense in 2007. It took a few
weeks, but redshirt freshman
Marcus Barnett answered the
call, developing into Mauk's
favorite target, while catching
60 passes for 845 yards and 13
touchdowns. A sure-handed, 6-1
target with good separation
speed, he's going to be a
handful for a beatable Southern
Miss secondary that'll have to
compensate for its own freshman,
starting CB C.J. Bailey.
For Southern Miss to pull the
upset in Birmingham, it has to
create running lanes for
Fletcher, one of the forgotten
star running backs in a league
that already has a pair of
2,000-yard rushers, UCF's Kevin
Smith and Tulane's Matt Forte.
The sophomore has run for more
than 1,000 yards in each of his
two seasons, carrying the Eagle
offense for a time when the
quarterback situation was in
disarray. It'll be incumbent
upon linemen Chris Clark,
Nick Dean, and Ryan
McKee to get a push up front
against a Terrill Byrd-led
defensive line that yielded more
than 100 yards rushing in a game
just three times all year.
Southern Miss will win if...
QB Jeremy Young makes a number
of big plays with his arm and
legs. When healthy, he's a
dangerous quarterback that's
capable of breaking down
defenses whether he's sitting
back in the pocket, or sprinting
out of it on designed runs.
Cincinnati is going to score
points, and make it very
difficult for Fletcher, Tory
Harrison, and the rest of the
Golden Eagle running game to
control the tempo of the game.
If Southern Miss is going to
keep pace, it'll be up to Young
and his two favorite targets, WR
Torris Magee and TE Shawn
Nelson, to outperform a Bearcat
secondary that permits a lot of
long completions.

Bibi plans IDF pullback from West Bank cities
Was Benjamin Netanyahu's grudging and precondition-laden acknowledgment of Palestinian statehood just a sweetener to Barack Obama intended to keep Israel's right-wing coalition together? In his American Prospect column this week, Gershom Gorenberg paraphrases Dr. Iyad Barghouti, director of the Ramallah Center for Human Rights, as saying that Bibi wants only "colonial-style 'self-rule'" in the Palestinian territories. Maybe so. But at the same time, a funny thing is happening: Netanyahu seems to be pulling back a bit from the territories. Yesterday, Haaretz reported that manned roadblock deconstruction was occurring at an accelerated pace; today, the Jerusalem Post reports a plan to "radically reduce" Israeli troop levels in parts of the West Bank. Under the plan, IDF soldiers will decrease their presence in the cities of of Kalkilya, Ramallah, Jericho, Jenin, and Bethlehem and cede authority to American-trained Palestinian soldiers. "Defense officials said that the move was aimed at giving the Palestinians the ability to enforce law and order and crack down on Hamas and other terror elements independently without Israeli intervention," Yaakov Katz writes. (Of course, Israel hasn't ruled out IDF sorties in those cities to preempt planned or rumored terrorist attacks.)
Netanyahu may be a long way from adopting the Sharon About-Face and initiating a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank. But these incremental measures aimed at bolstering Palestinian sovereignty cannot be discarded out of hand. Even a diplomatic salve to a more contentious American president has the possibility to alter "facts on the ground."

SPRING, Texas -- Two armed men barged into a mother's home and one of the suspects pointed a gun at her 2-year-old daughter.
The home invasion happened just after noon on Monteith Drive in Spring.
Victim Taylor Harrison said one of the robbers got angry because her child was making noise.
My daughter was screaming and crying, he pointed the gun at her, and was like shut up, shut up, Harrison said. I was like, oh my God, please don't kill my baby.
At that point, she said the other suspect started arguing with his friend and told him to stop.
He was like, dude, chill, don't kill the baby. What is wrong with you, Harrison said.
The robbers demanded electronics. Harrison said they seemed to know exactly where the family's video game system, laptop computer and cell phones were kept.
Because of their familiarity with the home, Harrison believes the robbers could be high school aged acquaintances of her younger sister, who also lives at the residence.
Shortly before the robbery, a young man came to the door twice asking for the sister.
When the robbers came in they were wearing masks, but Harrison said she recognized one of their voices as the male who came to the door earlier.

LeBron rested, ready
|05.01.10 at 7:47 pm ET
CLEVELAND –The most important elbow in basketball spent the last three days avoiding contact, but LeBron James said prior to Game 1 between the Cavaliers and Celtics that he is ready.
"I spent the last three days concentrating and preparing for this series," James said. "I expect a lot of physical play. I haven't done much physically in practice, I've been very conscious, knowing that today is the most important day besides the last three days, physically. We took it very light the last few days. I'm ready for today."
We won't the full extent of his elbow injury until the two teams take the floor, but the Celtics are preparing as if he is 100 percent.

Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream 125ml 7 7
Love this product! I have used this product for a number of years, I have tried others inbetween but I always come back to it! Its lovely and thick and makes your skin feel so soft! Really lovely natrual colour, not orange and not streaky at all. Arrived very quickly too from Escentual so I will be back to order more once I run out!! November 19, 2013
great fake tan I have used this fake tan since it came out and just love it. Never looks artificial and skin is left soft and healthy. Looking. September 26, 2013
Great fake tan I've used many fake tans in my time but I have to say, this is highly effective - it doesn't streak n glides on ever so smoothly. I don't think the colour helps on application as it fades very quickly when rubbing it in, but this still doesn't affect application I.e. streaking! Would highly recommend as a fake tan as it really does give the most natural glow. July 9, 2013
One of the best! Another great product from Clarins - lovely colour and the smell is much better than most other self tanners. I found it really easy to use and will definitely be buying it again. I would prefer a tube to a tub but that is probably a personal thing. August 20, 2012
