S.D. researchers find better way to grow neural stem cells
"To our knowledge, this is the fastest and most efficient method so far to produce neural stem cells from human embryonic stem cells," the scientists wrote of their new technique.
After 30 days, the scientists transplanted some of the neural stem cells into laboratory mice while the more basic embryonic stem cells were implanted into another group of rodents.
While mice from the first group remained tumor free for at least six months, animals from the second group were covered with tumors within six weeks.
Theoretically, the technique could be used to produce early stage versions of other types of cells such as heart muscle and pancreatic tissue, Zhang said.
"I would hope that someone will take the lead on applying these cells to other diseases," he said.
In the meantime, Zhang plans to keep working on the neural stem cells in hopes of one day using them in his studies of degenerative eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
"We're planning to put this into human trials hopefully in the next five years," he said.

CMC's Center for Civic Engagement builds community into CMC culture
Thanks to a grant from the Annenberg Foundation, CMC's Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) opened its doors in September 2011, with the goal of providing an umbrella for the community service activities at CMC, and expanding the reach of those activities. CCE is headed by Amy Bibbens, formerly of CMC's Office of Public Affairs.
Bibbens says the goal of the CCE is to integrate service into the fabric of CMC life and culture, and that it's a perfect fit in the mission of the College. "I would love it if down the road there's an expectation of students that this is what we do this is part of leadership to engage with the community," Bibbens said. "We're helping to bring out the goodness of our students. They'll go out in the world as leaders, and we're preparing them to do things in the right way and for the right reasons."
The goal of the CCE this semester, according to Bibbens, is to increase individual opportunities for students who want to volunteer in the community.
"In the future, the Center will be able to connect students with opportunities in the community on an ongoing basis people who want to tutor, or people who want to work in a nursing home," Bibbens said.
A key program of the CCE is the Alternative Spring Break, which offers students the opportunity to practice community service over spring break, March 10 17, 2012. One group of students will be based in a remote village inside Costa Rica on a sustainable farm. Students will work in the surrounding community, focusing on environmental preservation, sustainable development, and cultural exchange. A second group of students will travel to Johnson City, Tennessee to work with the Appalachia Service Project on home repair and improvement for low-income families in Central Appalachia.
Bibbens said the response from CMC students and the campus community has been very positive. She said the CCE received over 60 applications for the 24 available positions for Alternative Spring Break.
"The reaction to the Center has been tremendous. We had an open house at end of September and we had over 125 students here on a Friday afternoon."
The CCE will also offer up to 10 sponsored internship programs during summer 2012, helping students intern with non-profits and citizenship organizations such as think tanks or campaigns.
During the school year, the Center has held a number of special events for students to participate in service projects, and has worked with several faculty to integrate service into the classroom. Projects have included providing a family shelter with food baskets for Thanksgiving, serving Thanksgiving dinner to homeless families, and working with previously incarcerated women in the community.
The Center is also planning a service-based Wilderness Orientation Adventure (W.O.A.!) project this year, engaging CMC alums and civic leaders in an urban service opportunity in Los Angeles.

The Indian Dental Association has moved the Madras High Court for a direction to the authorities to admit students to post-graduate dental courses strictly as per laws and regulations based on the merit list published by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME.) It also sought a direction to the government to monitor admissions to the courses.
A Vacation Bench comprising Justices K.K.Sasidharan and R.Karuppiah ordered notice on the public interest litigation petition. It posted the matter for further hearing on June 3.
The association, represented by its State Legal Cell Co-Convener, V.Murali, said postgraduate courses in respect of dental surgery were governed by the UGC Act, rules and regulations, notifications of the Union Human Resource Development Ministry, Dentists Act and the Dental Council of India.
Admission should be done as per norms of the Central government or State government and those of the Dental Council. Admission to all postgraduate programmes in private institutions should be solely based on merit, which should be determined through a competitive test or a common admission test.
For the present year, a common entrance test was conducted by the DME and a merit-based rank list released.
Despite the publication, several colleges were not following the transparent process to admit students based on the published merit-based rank list.

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
You might have noticed that "findstr" does not work properly with non-English text in PowerShell.
For example:
Let's create a text file with some Chinese characters in it.
PS C:\> ${c:\test.txt}="中文"
Try to use findstr to find one of the Chinese characters, and it did not find anything.
PS C:\> Get-Content test.txt | findstr /c:中
The same command works in Cmd.exe.
PS C:\> cmd /c "findstr /c:中 test.txt"
What went wrong? When we pipe output data from PowerShell cmdlets into native applications, the output encoding from PowerShell cmdlets is controlled by the $OutputEncoding variable, which is by default set to ASCII. We can fix the afore-mentioned scenario by changing $OutputEncoding to [Console]::OutputEncoding.
PS C:\> $OutputEncoding
IsSingleByte : True
BodyName : us-ascii
EncodingName : US-ASCII
HeaderName : us-ascii
WebName : us-ascii
WindowsCodePage : 1252
IsBrowserDisplay : False
IsBrowserSave : False
IsMailNewsDisplay : True
IsMailNewsSave : True
EncoderFallback : System.Text.EncoderReplacementFallback
DecoderFallback : System.Text.DecoderReplacementFallback
IsReadOnly : True
CodePage : 20127
PS C:\> $OutputEncoding = [Console]::OutputEncoding
BodyName : gb2312
EncodingName : 简体中文(GB2312)
HeaderName : gb2312
WebName : gb2312
WindowsCodePage : 936
IsBrowserDisplay : True
IsBrowserSave : True
IsSingleByte : False
EncoderFallback : System.Text.InternalEncoderBestFitFallback
DecoderFallback : System.Text.InternalDecoderBestFitFallback
CodePage : 936
Voila! Now findstr works!

POSTSCRIPT: The reason we convert to ASCII when piping to existing executables is that most commands today do not process UNICODE correctly. Some do, most don't.

POSTSCRIPT: The reason we convert to ASCII when piping to existing executables is that most commands today do not process UNICODE correctly. Some do, most don't.
Jeffrey Snover
In this day and age, why would you default to ASCII? I can understand the history of CMD and the difficult in changing it now, but PowerShell is a clean break. It would have been an excellent opportunity to fully enable Unicode (by default).
Why are we still mucking about with codepages in 2006? Why can't we just use Unicode in Powershell/CMD?
It seems that Wei Wu U are Chinese.
So am I.
Why isn't it UTF8 or the current codepage by default?
If there's a reason for it to be ASCII, I presume there must be a problem with other encodings.
What are those problems?
I'd really like to hear a response to these questions. The biggest flaw in CMD is its dependency on legacy encodings, and that heritage seems to still be alive in PowerShell. Unless there is rational reason, this seems like a major flaw.
There also seems to be a Codepage issue when using edit.exe from powershell.
all keys are remapped to what seems like a random section of a keymap (possibly greek, i thought i saw a capital phi in there)
How would you go about changing the codepage before you start edit.exe?
I have a set of multi-language websites to dynamically generate off a common MS Access database.
Access can handle unicode text and I have fields of English and Korean, Japanese, Chinese equivalents for things.
My OS (dual booted XP PRo and Vista home prem) have the languages setup via language bar - primary is English (United States)
I can't get Powershell to use the unicode encoding.
e.g. (サウスホキアンガ) looks like this (????????
PsSH > [Console]::OutputEncoding
IsSingleByte : True
BodyName : IBM437
EncodingName : OEM United States
HeaderName : IBM437
WebName : IBM437
WindowsCodePage : 1252
IsBrowserDisplay : False
IsBrowserSave : False
IsMailNewsDisplay : False
IsMailNewsSave : False
EncoderFallback : System.Text.InternalEncoderBestFitFallback
DecoderFallback : System.Text.InternalDecoderBestFitFallback
IsReadOnly : True
CodePage : 437
Is there another source of object values other than [Console]::OutputEncoding ??
This just worked for me for getting UTF8 Unicode:
$OutputEncoding = New-Object -typename System.Text.UTF8Encoding
Hi, how do you get to display Chinese fonts, or for that matter any Unicode typefaces, in your shell?
simply change the console codepage to whatever you need and then set the ps default output to the consol output
chcp 1250
$OutputEncoding =[Console]::OutputEncoding
Event Powershell at version 3.0 does not process input script encoding properly.
With this command
powershell.exe -Version 3.0 -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -Command - <.\script.ps1
if script if Big-endian UTF you will receive error.

Project Reality: BF2 v1.0Aug 5, 2013 Full Version 80 comments
After 8 years of development and 21 total releases, we are pleased to announce the general availability of Project Reality: BF2, version 1.0. Since our...
Welcome to Project Reality: Battlefield 2 (aka PR:BF2), a free to download game modification for the Battlefield 2 (aka BF2) retail Windows PC game. The focus of this mod is to rework the original game engine developed by Digital Illusions of Sweden (Dice) within legal and feasible constraints to create a more realistic combat environment for the gaming community. This includes adjusting various game play elements including physics, visual effects and overall game play formats. Along with changes to how the game handles, the Project Reality team has been introducing British, Insurgent, IDF forces, Canadian, and Russian factions, plus a number of community assisted factions are currently in the works to introduce even more factions to the virtual battlefields. This Mod is not for the masses, due to the fact that it has a much higher learning curve then your classic arcade game. This is the real deal.
The Project Reality team comprises a group of dedicated individuals, several of whom have backgrounds in armed services and whose sole task is to provide researched material, including statistical information, to the developers. These are in turn tasked with coding and creating the mod itself. If you are looking for a fact based first person shooter from the perspective of a combat soldier, you need not look any further.

If you haven't been living under a rock for the last few months, you may have heard the news that GameSpy will be shutting down online services for Battlefield 2 at the end of this month.
Shortly afterwards, Electronic Arts announced via their Origin Twitter that they were working on transitioning Battlefield 2 so that it would still be playable after the shutdown. However, contrary to their original statement, they recently announced that they would not be doing this, and that Battlefield 2 online services would be shut down at the end of June.
Have no fear though! Ever since the original announcement from GameSpy, the Project Reality Team has been hard at work on developing our own solution to keep Project Reality: BF2 online, and our players playing. In partnership with the Forgotten Hope 2 team, we have quickly developed our own custom master server, and I am happy to confirm that Project Reality: BF2 (and Forgotten Hope 2) will continue to be playable online after the GameSpy shutdown.
The update that will provide this new functionality will be released in our upcoming v1.2 patch, scheduled to be released before the shutdown occurs. Not only does it replace the GameSpy online services with our own, it also includes the Dutch Forces, several new maps, as well as loads of tweaks and improvements.
For the regular players of PR:BF2, the only difference you will notice with the new online services is that upon updating to v1.2, your existing player profiles will be deleted, and you will be required to make a new online account if you wish to play online. The account management system in the PR:BF2 Launcher, the ingame server browser, and PRSPY will continue to function as normal.
As we're nearing our 10th year since Project Reality was founded, we look forward to seeing Project Reality: BF2 continue long into the future!

The official Project Reality: BF2 v1.0 player manual. This guide includes everything you need know to jump in and start playing the Project Reality: BF2...
The thing is that this game needs like 3gb of RAM because the maps are overloaded with stuff, and they are huge. Video card must be higher also and the processor too. Its like a sub-Battlefield 3/Battlefield 4 but cheaper and with Singleplayer.
If PR2 became Squad, what or where can I find "squad"??
Its not out, and PR2 will still be a stand alone game.
Also, here is the link to some info + the link to the squad, twitter, FB and steam page, also contains the webpage for squad.
who can help with full installation manual Project Reality: BF2 ?
What the hell is going there?
Is PR2 dead? PR team now separated and PR2 died?
No, squad is a completely different game, DO NOT EVER say that they are the same games until you actually can be bothered to read up on it.
Thanks :)
i think squad is what PR2 turns out to be
Just wondering if anyone can help me.
I have the steam version of BF2 and have played PR on it before, it is fully updated and I have ran it several times. But the PR setup just keeps saying:
"Your install path is not your root Battlefield 2 Directory. Project Reality: BF2 requires Battlefield 2 to be installed first. If you are using the Steam Version of Battlefield 2, please finalize the Battlefield 2 installation by running at least once. This will allow the correct install path to be automatically detected."
But I have ran it several times and it has finished the installation but this message just keeps coming up and I am stuck for ideas.
Right, I have fixed that problem but now have another one.
Whenever I try to play PR either with my existing profile or attempt to create a new one I get the same error message:
"Launch Error. 1004: Error connecting to server. (10060)."
Now I googled this and attempted the fixes that have been suggested but it still doesn't work. And I get the same error when I try to make a new profile.
Highest Rated (54 agree) 10/10
The BF2 engine on its edge... the BF2 gameplay reformed and finally promotes real teamwork. If you search for challenges in tactics and adrenaline boosted firefights this is the FPS game you search. For me it worths to buy BF2 (if you haven't yet) just to experience this mod. The extra content and the gameplay that is provided through Project Reality makes me to feel that PR is not a mod but a whole new game you can have for free. From Clan's experience perspective it is a must for every player…

Overrated! Not noob friendly. Great concept, terrible manual, tutorials, and controls. Half the time people don't even know what they're doing. Half the time you don't even know what you're doing. Pretty much follow a bunch of other people to get killed. The bots are excellent at shooting and killing you so it gives no room for even newbies to learn. The game is made so complex that it totally destroys the gameplay. Half the time you're running around in huge maps and when you finally make it somewhere…

Since 2002 we have explored, played and enjoyed mods of all shapes and sizes just like Project Reality: Battlefield 2. We love games like Battlefield 2 that have opened themselves up to modding. Because of communities like Steam Workshop, Nexus, Curse, RTSL, GameBanana and Mod DB, more games support modding today than ever before.
Whether it is for fun, for laughs or for the challenge, modding is what sets PC gaming apart from our closed off friends in the console and mobile gaming worlds. And based on the recent outpouring of support for mods after the concept of paid modding was explored, we are not alone in our love for mods and open platforms that embrace them.
As mods play a bigger role in the future of gaming, we believe it is important to recognize the effort the teams behind the work put in, giving us countless hours of enjoyment while asking nothing in return. We have the power to change our games and that needs to be celebrated to ensure it remains a big part of PC gaming's future.
Nothing is more motivating than knowing something you've built kicks-ass. So this week if there is a mod you love on Mod DB (or anywhere else), make the effort to shout out to them, mention and link their mod in a tweet, blog, forum or facebook post with the hashtag #modlove2015 (or click the icons above for a pre-built post).
To thank those who participate in spreading the love and awareness, we have partnered up with many awesome mod-friendly games (Killing Floor 2, Mount & Blade Warband, Space Engineers, Insurgency, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Black Mesa, Contagion, Amnesia - get involved) & have hundreds of keys to giveaway. To win one of the games, after you have linked to a mod on Mod DB (or anywhere else) in a tweet, blog, forum or facebook post, let us know by leaving a comment with a link to your post. At the end of the week we shall be picking members at random who followed these rules, and will send them a key from one of these games.

text: So I've had this gt for a good 6 months, I've noticed @ 1600x1200 w/4xaa 8xaf in HL2 DM, I get a few parts that tend to go into the low 20's, even in the sp, it dipped to the 20's a few times. (Like in the canals when the helicopter is shooting at you) I oc'd the card for a day, I hit 421/1.14 using the "detect optimal frequency" button that so conviently came modded into the 66.77a drivers i'm using at the moment. The card hit 83C max-52C idle, usually it's 52C idle and 78C max, this is all on stock cooling. I figure that's not too much of a jump in temps, and I could really use the extra speed in HL2 DM, without having to sacrafice aa/af or a lower res. (And for the day I kept it oc'd all those low/mid 20's were low/mid 30's) I just get a bit paranoid when ocing. Will the card last me until 06 with the oc? I don't plan on upgrading till then.

Do you think Faulkner follows his own advice in "A Rose for Emily"? Explain with details from the story.
*** In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech Faulkner urges young writers to tackle "the old universe truths...love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice." Do you think Faulkner follows his own advice in "A Rose for Emily"? Explain with details from the story. ***
1 Answer | Add Yours
The narrative voice in "A Rose for Emily" can be described as compassionate. Pride is clearly a part of Emily's story also.
The pride of Emily's family begins with her father then continues with Emily. We see this pride on display in numerous examples from the story. Emily fails to marry, in large part, because her father refused to accept any suitors as being "good enough" for his daughter.
Emily uses her pride as a tool or a cover to gain advantage in town. This is true as she claims exemption from paying taxes and refuses to give a reason for purchasing rat poison in town.
The narrator of the story treats the tale and its central character with respect, restraint, compassion and a bit of admiration as well. This is poignant when we consider the nature of the story, in its grisly final details.
The narrator is, of course, aware of the story's ending when he begins his tale. Yet, the treatment of Emily emphasizes her strength of will (even as this becomes a stubbornness and a weakness). There is no emotive clue to her pathology or capacity for murder in the tone of the narrative.
This can be seen as compassion even in the face of a story that challenges empathy.
In these ways we can say that Faulkner did take his own advice in this story, exploring these two profound constants in human experience and human nature.

New Philippine Coast Guard ship patrols Scarborough
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – A new Coast Guard ship replaced the lone Philippine vessel in the disputed waters off Panatag Shoal (Scarborough), a spokesman confirmed Monday.
Philippine Coast Guard spokesman Lieutenant Commander Algier Ricafrente said the BRP Pampanga was replaced by BRP Edsa (SARV-002), the same type of search and rescue vessel Monday morning, for refuelling and fresh supplies.
Meanwhile, Northern Luzon Commander Lieutenant General Anthony Alcantara said two surveillance vessels of China were still in the area.
He added that Navy ships were also under reprovisioning, but were ready to support the Coast Guard vessels anytime.
He also described the situation in the area as "stable."
Philippine Navy Vice Admiral Alexander Pama, on the other hand, said he doesn't see the need to send back the Philippines' warship BRP Gregorio del Pilar as it was a law enforcement issue.
"From reports that Coast Guard showed with us, things are not as tense as some people think," he told reporters after the opening of Balikatan Exercises at Camp Aguinaldo.
"We don't have a Navy vessel but we remain on standby. No definite plans (to deploy) a Navy ship," he added.
He also said he believed the Coast Guard could handle the issue.
On Saturday afternoon, China added one more vessel to boost its presence after pulling out all of its ships and leaving behind just one.

Similar to cars being driven on a turnpike, ships that pass through Greece will pay a tax for such privilege effective January 1, 2014, reports Yachting Monthly.
Size will determine the amount of the fee that ships will pay to use Greece's waterways. Jim Baerselman, a member of the Cruising Association, told YM that this fee could adversely affect the number of yachts that pass through. The Cruising Association has nearly 1,500 members that currently sail through the surrounding islands.
According to Mr.Baerselman, he spoke with a Greek tax account that said that the tax will be charged for all recreational and commercial ships and small boats, regardless of their flag, which sail or are moored or anchored in Greek waters.
….[Jim Baerselman]went on to say the Minister of Marine and Aegean said yachts or motorboats sailing in Greek waters needed to keep proof of payment with their registration document which is issued when entering Greece.

As we enter the later part of deer season and enter February, I am always mindful of the late-winter blues creeping up on me. So, I try to stay active. And that includes exploring things I have put off.
Near one of the busiest intersections in Jackson, Mississippi, you can park your vehicle, walk across a rustic bridge, and enter a bygone era. At the Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum, or Museum for short, you will discover Mississippi's proud agricultural legacy as you step back in history. What a great way to kill those late-winter blues!
To the casual visitor, this place may seem like a peculiar attraction, but not when one considers the role that Mississippi's two most significant industries have played in the history and economy of the state. The Museum features over 40,000 square feet of exhibition space, displaying many artifacts, machinery and documents that pay tribute to farmers and lumbermen throughout Mississippi's history. It even includes a Model T Ford that was donated by my father-in-law, the late Arch Dalrymple III of Amory. The museum gift shop serves a limited menu of refreshments and offers a variety of unique and educational souvenirs.
As you take a journey through time, it will be revealed how agriculture and forestry molded the history and heritage of the state and the Southeast. You will be able to explore the various sections of the Museum such as the Ethnic Heritage Center, the Fitzgerald Collection, the Fortenberry-Parkman Farmstead, the Heritage Exhibit Center, the National Agricultural Aviation Museum and the Forestry Auditorium.
In the section of Small Town, Mississippi, you will not only be able to witness the charm and hospitality of rural life but you can visit the General Store, which offers visitors a shopping experience like nowhere else. One can buy cold Coca-Colas, Moon Pies, old-fashion candy sticks, toys and souvenirs, as well as see many artifacts reflecting what one might have seen in a 1930s General Store. The store specializes in Mississippi Gift Baskets, offering food products and crafts.
Your visit will be even more rewarding during any of the festivals that are scheduled throughout the year. The Agriculture & Forestry Museum is located at 1150 Lakeland Drive, Jackson, Mississippi. They are open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM – 5 PM. Admission is $5.00 for adults, $4.00 for seniors, $3.00 for ages 5 to 18 and $1.00 for ages 3 to 4. For more information, call (601) 432‑4500. To find out about events, call (601) 432‑4501.

Kong Day's Journey
Denver may never host a Super Bowl, but we've got the next best thing: the Donkey Kong world championships! Fully sanctioned by Twin Galaxies, video gaming's high-score keeper of record, the Kong Off 3 will host 22 of the world's best Donkey Kongers, including The King of Kong's Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe, current champion Jeff Willms and more.
And it's not just all Donkey Kong, all the time, either. Joining the infamous angry ape will be fourteen other classic arcade games, from Frogger to Tron. With so many of the world's top gamers in attendance, there's a good chance that a new record or two will be set, offering arcade enthusiasts the opportunity to say they were there. "We had three world records set here last year in addition to the Donkey Kong competition and the highest-recorded Donkey Kong score of all time," says Jourdan Adler, owner of the 1UP and Twin Galaxies. "It's crazy to see this all happening in Denver."
The event kicks off today at noon with an attempt at a 24-hour Tron marathon; the Kong competition begins Friday at 11 a.m. and continues through Sunday night. All activities will be at the 1UP, 1925 Blake Street, and admission is free, but space is limited. For more information, visit thekongoff.com.

I live next door to a reactive dog with a careless owner. The dog is supposed to be on a leash at all times but it is let out on its own whenever this owner doesn't feel like using one. The dog attacked my old Danny Boy in the our garage and thankfully I had this spray and saved him from harm. I have it with me all the time when walking. It is better to be safe than sorry and I never leave home without it.
Pros: quick deterrent citronella
Cons: none

I have seen it in use only once in our program with aggressive dogs. It worked that time (indoors). I guess it may not work with very aggressive dogs and also if the wind blows in the wrong direction outdoors it may be ineffective.
Pros: may work
Cons: may not work

Chris Harrison and the spectre of doom met Britt Nilsson in the garden to break the news. "A majority of the men chose one woman," he teased before giving her the boot and ending this whole crazy experiment.

SpongeBob's Treat Truck to deliver freebies in Tampa on Thursday05/19/15Events
SpongeBob SquarePants will be a long way from his pineapple under the sea this week, and will be handing out freebies in Tampa on Thursday as a part of a joint promotion for World Oceans Day and a DVD release. Free cold treats and reusable tote bags are on the menu at SpongeBob's Treat Truck on Thursday 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Lowry Park Zoo, 1101 W Sligh Ave., and 1 to 4 p.m. at the Florida Aquarium, 701 Channelside Drive.

The Illusionists, coming to the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts from Tuesday through May 31, want to show the world there's a ton of magic in between those extremes.
Seven veteran entertainers from around the world are touring together, each bringing his own specialty to the mix.

Each time the host of TV's guiltiest pleasure showed up Monday night, he was bringing bad tidings.
First, Harrison had an interminable lead-in to warn the audience about the "controversial" premise ABC had been pumping for weeks -- there would be two Bachelorettes until the 25 suitors voted and whittled it down to one....

St. Pete 'Amazing Race' finalist to host finale watch party at Ferg's Friday05/13/15Events
A St. Petersburg resident is in the final four as CBS's The Amazing Race heads to the finish line Friday. A watch party at Ferg's Sports Bar will have finalist Hayley Keel on hand along with past contestants. Keel, 28, a pediatric emergency nurse at All Children's Hospital, was one of 10 contestants who met their partners on the first day of the race around the world for $1 million. They are among the four remaining teams that will race from Peru to Dallas for Friday's finale. She and her partner, Blair Townsend, a Navy doctor from Amelia Island, will be hosting the watch party. Other eliminated couples from around the country will be joining them: Bergen Olson and Kurt Jordan Belcher; C.J.

Downtown Disney to get new Indiana Jones themed restaurant this fall05/13/15Florida
Han Solo isn't the only Harrison Ford character getting love from the House of Mouse. Downtown Disney has announced it will open an Indiana Jones-themed bar this fall.
Called Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar, it's named after Indy's longtime pilot and occasional tormentor (remember Reggie, Jock's pet boa constrictor?). The bar will be built to look like an airplane hangar and sit between Paradiso 37 and the newly opened Boathouse restaurant on the dining and shopping zone independent of the theme parks. ...

Disney on Ice's 'Frozen' costume designer brings kingdom to adoring fans05/12/15Events
Eighteen months after the world's children learned the icy tale of Arendelle, kids in the Tampa Bay area have the chance to seen Queen Elsa and Princess Anna in action. • Setting Frozen to ice skates was so obvious, Feld Entertainment started planning Disney on Ice presents Frozen before the movie even premiered, said Gregory Poplyk, an Emmy-nominated costume designer who helped bring the show to life. • "They brought me in to a screening in June (2013) and it was just such an amazing film," Poplyk said. "And it was so natural to make it an ice show." • It became the highest grossing animated movie ever, according to Forbes magazine, doubling down the pressure on Poplyk to do it justice. • "I've been designing costumes for almost 30 years from Broadway to the circus, but I'd never done an ice show before." • Now in its ninth month touring the country, Poplyk can share a bit of the magic that makes Frozen on ice the hot ticket for parents. Pro tip: You want your snowman to be a really good skater because falling down is a lot easier than getting up....

I'm rather annoyed that you think I'll be dead before I'm 95. I was planning to live until at least 100.
Rephrased: There'll be plenty of current google and nasa employees still alive in 60 years.
No, the most annoying thing in IT is the person you're responding to, who doesn't understand how TLS for email works in the first place, but pretends to do so, and participates in discussions as if he knows the subject matter at hand.
The error being that there is no encryption applied by the person who writes the email, but opportunistically by the email servers if both sending and receiving email servers supports TLS. This is done transparantly to the end users (ie the people who write the email).
Oh come on.
It's always hilarious when people pretending to be techies on slashdot discuss technical matters without understanding the matter at hand.
There is no encryption being removed here. What is being removed is the negotiation of encryption. There's a huge difference.
What happens here is that modern MTAs that are configured to use TLS will issue a STARTTLS command to the receiving email server. If the receiving email server is configured to accept TLS connection, it will respond in kind. If it rejects the command, the conversation continues unencrypted.
Most email servers are still not configured to use TLS.
What happens in this case is removal of ngeotiation of opportunistic encryption. It's of course very very wrong to do this, but it does not remove existing encryption - it prevents it from happening in the first place. It makes the parties believe that neither side supports it.
If that was a serious question, and not trolling:
The in-addr.arpa DNS zone is used for reverse DNS.
Basically, you forward-map hostnames to IP addresses. At the same time, you can reverse-map IP-addresses to hostnames.
The forward mapping is done via 'A' records.
The reverse mapping is done via 'PTR' records, and it's done in the in-addr.arpa hiearchy.
Given your description, you're the sole sysadmin. This means you're the person who should take these decision - nobody else. If the company disagrees with this, then either you've done a poor job previously, or they don't trust you to do your job for some strange reason.
Now, if it's you that have fscked up on previous occasions, then it's understandable that they want the red tape.
If you haven't, then it's time to put down the foot and say "Nope, that's my job". If they disagree with that - linkedin should be a relatively short distance away, and after you find yourself a new job - simply hand in your resignation pointing out that you have no interest in having babysitters.
What repopulates the area? Easy.
Taxes & import duty are very tiny. You've got some of the most beautiful nature you can imagine. There's lots of researchers connected with universities etc. - making for lots of interesting people to talk with.
A lot of the turnover is actually students wrapping up their studies.
This is quite an interesting idea. DYI drones are getting more and more common - and there are plenty of people with electronics background who can make the control interface.
Make the commands sent to the drone be sent encrypted/signed - allowing automatic handoffs between controlling terminals.
It would be pretty easy to make drones do the 'chore' of crossing international borders for you. Just put out a couple of 'base stations' that are quiet unless the drone is coming by
I'm wondering how well prepared border control / custom agents are for taking down fast moving drones that sweep in pretty low.
I'm sorry, but first off - Magnus Carlsen has been an extremely well known chess player since 2004. Justin Bieber was discovered when? 2008?
Secondly, while Bieber is famous for being famous.. Carlsen is famous for using his brain and becoming the world champion of chess. He built his career around his brain. Yes, some fashion agency also discovered his good looks and started sponsoring him and using him as a model - but that's not his main work. It's a hobby thing on the side. Good for him.
For those slightly interested in chess, but not interested enough to normally follow ratings and such - take a look at: http://2700chess.com/ for the up to date live ratings.
Aronian is doing a massive jump these days due to Tata Steel. I'm guessing the next WCC match will be between Carlsen and Aronian. They're typically rather evenly matched.
Uhm. Easy to fake? So, how will they fake out the huge amount of telescopes that will be pointed at the moon when they approach? How do they fake the large amount of listening posts that will listen for the chinese signals from the moon?
Not to mention, flybys by other nations, later, will look for the equipment. It would be kind of embarrassing when nobody can find it.
The computer would not need a history of games of the opponents.
Computer chess has moved so far ahead of human players that Carlsen would have been utterly destroyed. These days, spectators watch the game with chess computers on the side, since the chess computers can tell properly which player is ahead, while spectators wouldn't be able to tell properly.
Chess engines such as Houdini, Stockfish and a variety of others have ratings well above 3100. Carlsen has a rating of 2872. He would be crushed.
I really do hate overloading acronyms. SSH / SSHD is pretty well known already. It's what most unix folks (and I really do hope that that is the majority of slashdot readership) use to log on to servers every single day.
I hear people claiming that about the command line, but this has never rang true to me. We probably use computers in very different ways.
I have two 'defaults'. Either I'm using various terminal based programs, or I use a webbrowser.
email? Check. Using mutt.
IRC? Check. Using irssi.
Web? Chrome.
I need to edit something / write something down? I've never come across anything better than vim (emacs would've been just as useful if it was my editor of choice). I'll write my stuff there, and store it in text files. Calculations? bc is usually all I need. What if I need to manipulate some data files of some random human readable format? I usually just grab for perl.
Almost everything I do, is done either done in the shell, or is done in the webbrowser. Now, my use case is obviously different than yours.
I've been using computers since '86. Was a huge fan of DOS back in the day. Didn't like Windows 95 much, but eventually installed it in '98. That didn't last too long - around April or March '09 I figured I should try out Linux. First I went with slack, which didn't work out for me. I seem to remember that I first went for Debian, and then later on for SuSE for some years. Then it was a series of SuSE->Mandrake->SuSE->Ubuntu.
I had to fiddle a bit with Win2000 as a window desktop, and then later fiddle a bit with I think it was Win2000 or was it 2003(?) on a few servers. The main bulk of the servers were Linux and Solaris.
I very seldomly had to help out some XP users. I've barely touched Vista, and I don't think I've seen more than one computer w/Win7 ever. Anything newer than that and I haven't seen it at all.
Now; why won't I touch Windows? Quite simple - I have no clue how to do stuff with them. Family has been converted to Linux (and some Mac) years ago. I wouldn't know a thing about how to get stuff done. I've heard rumors that powershell is kind of cool - but I'm familiar with bash that I guess my only option for windows would've been cygwin - but that feels kind of bastardized instead of just having a desktop I immediately feel familiar with.
I'm pretty sure windows is quite cool for those who knows how to use it, but it ain't me.
Look at the European Union and the Euro.
Then look at Greece.
That is how Argentina would look if they started using the dollar.

- Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) has put a pro-federal-employee amendment into
the Senate's 2013 financial services funding bill. That bill cleared the
Appropriations Committee yesterday. Mikulski's language would continue a ban on
competition between federal agencies and contractors for service work. It would
also stop outsourcing unless an agency can prove a cost savings. Plus it would
prohibit arbitrary staff cuts by requiring agencies to match work with funds on
hand. Mikulski complained that federal employees are the first to take a hit
whenever deficit reduction comes up. (Federal News Radio)
- Looming federal budget cuts from the sequester are making things difficult for
contractors. That's because agency buyers are uncertain about the future. So they
put off contract awards. Debbie James, head of government relations for SAIC, said
the delays make it harder for companies like hers to deliver products and
services. She said it would be helpful if Pentagon contracting officers in
particular loosened up a little. Most analysts expect no sequester-avoiding budget
deal until after November elections. (Federal News Radio)
- American Indian tribes say the Internal Revenue Service was crossing the
line into their territory, and they wanted the agency to pull back. Tribal leaders
told a Senate panel yesterday that the IRS was fishing for revenue by taxing
housing, school clothes, burial aid and other services that the tribes provide
their members. They said that infringes on tribal sovereignty and violates
treaties between the tribes and the United States. But the IRS said it was talking
with tribes and gathering recommendations from members. The agency said the rules
governing what it can tax are too foggy. (Federal News Radio)
- It won't be a friendly coffee klatch. In fact, both sides will probably be
working all weekend to get ready. But Attorney General Eric Holder has proposed a
Monday morning meeting with Rep.
Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) Issa has been pushing Holder to release documents about
how Justice handled the Fast and Furious gun walking project. He theatened to end
the standoff by scheduling a contempt-of-Congress vote. Holder has sent thousands
of pages of documents. Now he said he was prepared to deliver the ones Issa really
wants. (Federal News Radio)
- In its annual Sustainability Report,
the Postal Service announced that it has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by
7.4 percent since 2008. That's the equivalent of taking 200,000 cars off the road.
That puts the Postal Service well on its way to meeting its goal of a 20 percent
cut by 2020. The Postal Service maintains the largest network of buildings in the
U.S.and has installed energy auditing systems in many of its buildings to track
energy waste. It also owns 41,000 alternative fuel-capable vehicles and has
implemented 8,000 more walking and bicycle routes for mail carriers. (USPS)
- The Environmental Protection
Agency is strengthening pollution standards and risking an election-year
backlash. A lawsuit forced the agency's hand and it will announce its proposal
later today. It would reduce the amount of soot that could be released into the
air. A federal court ordered the EPA to act after 11 states sued. They said
current standards are leading to lung and heart problems. EPA officials said most
counties are already complying with the new standards and would not have to take
further action. Environmentalists and public-health advocates are likely to cheer
the rule, but lawmakers and industry may accuse the agency of stifling the
economy. (Federal News Radio)
- A new report says the government's widespread attempts to catch Medicaid fraud have cost it millions — $80 million to be exact. The audits by contractors were so ineffective that Health and Human Services put a stop to them. Investigators at the Government Accountability Office said the auditors were using federal data without critical information, like Medicaid recipients' names and addresses. The federal government does not share names of potential fraudsters with states, which means states cannot verify that those providers are in fact in their Medicaid programs. HHS said the independent audits were just a part of their attempts to wipe out Medicaid fraud. Other efforts, like interagency strike teams, have been more successful. The news came as a surprise to senators, who held a hearing on the issue yesterday. (Federal News Radio)

Documenting Patent Litigation Records
The Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History began a preliminary study of patent attorney records in 2002. This was part of a larger framework for studying and analyzing existing collections, and setting goals and action steps. These together enabled the Center's staff to engage in more strategic and focused documentation activity. By studying the process of patent filing, litigation, and other categories of invention work undertaken by patent attorneys, we began to understand better what these records reveal about how inventors articulate and document their ideas.
Additionally, we hoped to contribute to the preservation of significant invention documentation created in the process of the inventor/attorney relationship and how these two parties interact. In 2005, the Archives Center acquired the first of three collections of independent inventors containing significant patent litigation documentation—the Eisler Engineering Company Records, the Segre A. Scherbatskoy Papers, and the Arthur Ehrat Papers.
The Eisler Engineering Company Records document Charles Eisler, a Hungarian immigrant who was a skilled mechanic and engineer and his company, Eisler Engineering Company of Newark, New Jersey, which manufactured equipment for producing electric lamps, television and radio tubes, welding equipment, and laboratory equipment. The company's Litigation and Patent Records, 1897–1953 (bulk 1926–1929) consist primarily of briefs (for the defendant, Eisler, and plaintiff, General Electric) and the transcript of record in the case General Electric vs. Charles Eisler and Eisler Engineering Company, 1926–1929. The company was sued at least four times by G.E. between 1923 and 1928 for alleged patent infringement, but won each case. The cases involved four U.S. patents owned by G.E. The published brief, transcripts, and other materials, when assembled together, provide a comprehensive overview of the litigation and are an important resource for interpreting claims.
The Serge A. Scherbatskoy Papers provide insight into the relationship between inventors and the United States oil industry between the 1930s and 1990s, the evolution of applied geophysics, and the development of technological innovation in oil prospecting. One of the strengths of the collection is the patents he pursued, renewed, or impeded. As sole proprietor of his own company, Geophysical Measurements Corp., Scherbatskoy meticulously constructed an international patenting program, which made him a successful player among the giants of the oil industry. Legal files illustrating litigation over the infringement of his patents are also found in the collection. The papers demonstrate how the oil prospecting industry worked from scientific, commercial, and legal perspectives. It is one of the most comprehensive collections we have acquired where patent and litigation records comprise the bulk of the collection. Scherbatskoy's collection also reveals his intimate involvement in the patenting process—from assisting in writing the patent itself to tracking infringement. It is important to note that his expertise and subject knowledge was a critical aspect of his working relationship with his attorney(s).
Arthur Ehrat was an Illinois inventor who patented a breakaway basketball rim, fashioning his prototypes from bolts, metal braces, and one key part: a piece of the heavy-duty coil spring from a John Deere cultivator. His invention helped to revolutionize the way basketball is played because players could slam dunk the ball with fewer injuries and without bending the rims or breaking backboards. The bulk of the collection is made up of attorney correspondence, patent infringement documents, and patent licensing documents. The collection also contains handwritten notes by Arthur Ehrat and his attorneys, sketches of his inventions, an oral history interview, and photographs. While processing this collection we learned that the correspondence found throughout the collection is key to understanding the legal documents. It provides insight into the legal negotiations behind the settlement and licensing process, and the diligence necessary to protect a viable patent from infringement. The correspondence, when read in conjunction with litigation and licensing documents, provides a better sense of the negotiations between attorneys and how and why the legal documents were created.
The collection also helped us define more clearly several legal terms. A patent file history/file wrapper contains all of the documents filed by an applicant and examiner, and Bates numbers. Bates numbers—named after the Bates Automatic Numbering Machine and patented in the late 1800s—are unique numbers used to identify documents. The parties to a lawsuit use these numbers to keep papers in order when they are sent to the other party during discovery.
Patent attorneys' records are a potentially valuable resource for historians of science and technology. The more we learn about this aspect of the process of invention and the documentary record created, the better able archivists will be to assist scholars.

ABOARD THE NORTHLANDER There's unhappiness and disappointment riding the rails this day, tinged with anger, disgust and plain disbelief.
It's obvious how the passengers riding the Northlander feel about the Ontario government's move to kill the train that runs between Toronto and Cochrane and replace it with buses.
"I think it's wrong-headed," says Laurell Ritchie, a retired CAW representative who takes the train from Toronto a few times a year to visit friends in South River.
"It's stupid. There are other options ... Everyone talks about going green, so rather than cut it out they could reduce the schedule to something like three times a week and have a promotion campaign, instead of clogging up Highway 400 from here to kingdom come."
The Liberals are doing away with the Northlander as part of a plan to sell the Crown-owned Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC). It's a cost-saving measure tied to reducing the provincial deficit. The province says it spent $100 million in subsidizing the ONTC in 2011.
The ONTC oversees five operations in Northern Ontario that employ about 1,000 people; the Ontario Northland Railway, a North Bay-based train car refurbishment plant, a telecommunications outfit called Ontera, a bus company and an inn in Cochrane. The government has been vague on timelines on divesting itself of ONTC, other than ending The Northlander.
Northern Development Minister Rick Bartolucci did not return calls from The Spectator, but he said last month in a release that "in a time of fiscal belt-tightening" the government couldn't afford to operate "an inefficient and expensive" transportation and telecommunications system.
About 40 people boarded the train Monday, one of the last runs of the Northlander. The service ends Friday, which also ends rail passenger service to Cochrane that dates back to 1909. The train served such communities as Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville, North Bay, Cobalt and New Liskeard. ONTC said about 40,000 passengers rode the daily train (except Saturday) from April 2011 to March 2012, an increase of 14 per cent from the previous 12 months.
Many on board rode the train a few times a year to visit family and friends. This included a woman travelling with three young children to retirees in their 70s. They made mention of Northerners they knew who used the train to attend medical appointments. The train consisted of two passenger cars and a dining car.
The train also carried tourists, including a man from the United States, who were on their way to Cochrane to ride the Polar Bear Express. The government has promised to keep that train running between Cochrane and Moosonee on James Bay.
Jane Lalande was heading home to North Bay after visiting her sister in Mississauga. The mother of two said she had taken the train frequently in the past two years. She had just been on it in August and showed off pictures of snowy forests she had taken from the train window when she rode it last winter.
"It's convenient," she said. "You can walk around. It's near and dear to my heart. I work with children and I always felt the train was a better way for families to travel with children."
She has taken the bus, but figures her husband will now be driving her to Mississauga.
The Northlander left Union Station at about 8:40 a.m. and arrived in North Bay at 2 p.m., 10 minutes behind schedule. By comparison, a bus returning to Toronto left at 4 p.m. and the bus driver hoped it would arrive just before 10 p.m., depending on traffic and construction. It arrived about 9:40 p.m. after dropping into every little hamlet and crossroad off Highway 11, between North Bay and Washago. Cost for the train and bus was $81.87 one way.
There was mingling and talking between passengers on the Northlander. On the bus, everyone sat in their seat and there was silence.
Gloria Ann Easton, a retired nurse, was heading to Huntsville to visit her daughter. She makes the trip twice a year and is not looking forward to taking the bus. Easton has written to express her disappointment over the cancellation of the Northlander to Premier Dalton McGuinty and Bartolucci. She says McGuinty's office replied it was being chopped because there was duplicate bus service.
"I'm sad," said Easton. "This is northern undevelopment, as far as I'm concerned. I feel he's cutting his nose off to spite his face."
Maurice Bourdon, 75, is a retired high school language teacher from Timmins. A personal family situation resolved itself recently and he aimed to take the train a lot to Toronto. He said everyone he knows is "saddened" at the loss of The Northlander.
"It's so comfortable," he says while the train makes its way through green and gold countryside near Washago. "It's so nice. The forest is so nice. We call it the bush." He tells a questioner, "You're going to see beautiful country on this trip."
Mike Leddy, 65, is a retired RCAF navigator who flew in the air force for 22 years. He has taken the train into northern Ontario a few times and recalled taking an overnight sleeper train in the 1950s. The Belleville resident was marking the passing of the train by riding it to Cochrane on Monday and returning to Toronto on Tuesday.
"It's the biggest mistake the Ontario government can make," said Leddy. "This could have been marketed in the fall, like the Agawa Canyon train — 'Come ride the train and see the fall colours' — but our government just didn't want to do that."
