Kent State Introduces Commencement ImprovementsPosted July 18, 2011
The university's Commencement Office is making improvements to current policies regarding commencement to ensure a better experience for its graduates and their families.
Due to high retention rates and increased ceremony attendance, the university's Commencement Office is making improvements to current policies to ensure that the ceremony meets the high expectations that the university, its graduates and their families have for this special occasion.
The changes come following the third spring Commencement ceremony held the evening of May 7. At that last ceremony, the number of our students, families and friends who attended exceeded the number registered in the university's system, creating an over-capacity situation. While all graduating students walked across the stage and received their diploma covers, not all of them were seated in the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center for the entire ceremony.
"This was an unprecedented occurrence for commencement at Kent State," explains Robert G. Frank, Kent State's provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. "We apologized to our new graduates and their families and friends for the lack of seating in the MAC Center at that ceremony. We understand how disruptive this was to an occasion that marks one of a family's proudest moments.
"We evaluated our policies and the circumstances that caused this situation, and we're introducing these improvements, starting with this summer's Commencement," Frank continues. "Our goal is to provide a positive, memorable graduation experience and accommodate every graduate and their special guests in the Ceremony Hall."
Graduating Educational Specialist's, master's and baccalaureate students, who plan on attending the upcoming Commencement ceremony on Aug. 13 must complete the online Commencement RSVP Form in order to participate and obtain tickets for their guests. Six tickets will be provided to each graduating student who completes the online Commencement RSVP Form. Students who do not complete the online Commencement RSVP Form will not be able to participate in the ceremony and will not receive tickets.
Communications regarding commencement improvements have be sent to students by email, mail and in person at Graduation Fair. The information is also posted on the university's Commencement website at www.kent.edu/commencement. Reminder emails will be sent out to all students who have not responded prior to RSVP registration deadline. Additionally, a separate communication regarding the new policy also will be sent to the permanent address on record, addressed to the graduate's family.
For questions regarding commencement, please contact University Ceremonies at 330-672-2235.

Staying in the drug game, Raysor's narrative argues, "was too risky with the warrant on me, but pretty soon I saw that I didn't need to sell drugs to survive. I taught myself that I could get by, even though it was no real life. . . . In a way the charges in 1996 freed me up; I was sick of the whole thing by then and wanted out."
After taking any job he could find demolition, handyman work, garbage clean-up, janitorialhe found what he claims was his salvation.
"Cake baking and icing designs were my main source of income in the last few years I was on the run," Raysor says in the report. "For the first six years I did lots of jobs to earn a little money. But for the last four I baked pretty regularly. For two years I baked maybe two cakes a month, but for the final two years I was selling about two each weekend. They were all for people who heard about my skills or saw my flyer; they used them for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. I would save up enough money to rent a room for a day, and that would give me access to the communal kitchen. I would bake up a storm and sell my cakes, mostly for about thirty dollars. Everybody said they tasted good and looked great."
To bolster this claim, Raysor's defense team submitted pictures of six cakes with designs featuring the likes of Spider-Man and SpongeBob SquarePants. A flyer for "First Choice Cake's & Bake's," advertising cakes and cookies but with no contact information on it, was also included in the package to the judge.
Did Chaka Raysor borrow this recipe from the movie 16 Blocks? The film was released in March 2006. Five months later, he turned himself in. But the cake photos that Raysor's lawyer submitted to the judge have date stamps on them purporting to show that the pictures were taken between July and September of 2004. There is no proof offered that Chaka made those cakes himself back then or at any other time, or that, if he did, he created any others. The cake-baking business seems a stretch for a guy who's supposed to be broke and homelesswhat with all the ingredients needed, the pots, pans, and kitchen utensils, and the rental of a room to use the communal kitchen.
But that's his storycrack maker turned cake bakerand he's sticking to it.
Chaka Raysor agreed to plead guilty to a single count of conspiracy to sell drugs, but would admit to none of the murders or mayhem associated with his gang. The government's offer of no more than 19 1/2 years in prison was practically a fire sale. After all, his brother May-May and cousin Rawboth of them his subordinateshad received life-plus sentences.
The passage of time had made the case harder for prosecutors to make: Cops had retired; the original prosecutors, with their storehouse of knowledge and connections in their heads, had all moved on; and witnesses and other peripheral players had scattered.
The probation department, which by its nature has institutional memory, recommended the maximum sentence, 20 years to life, but the judge had flexibility. Vitalianowho acknowledged in a profile last year in the Staten Island Advance, "I don't like motion pictures at all, I never have. I much prefer live theater"nonetheless went for the typical feel-good-movie ending: 17 years in prison, meaning a chance, at the age of 53, to open a bakery. To that end, Vitaliano agreed to put in a word to have Raysor housed in Otisville prison, because it has a culinary arts program. No matter what Chaka really did after he fled prosecution, his decade on the lam has paid off.
In one of the corny scenes in 16 Blocks, detective Jack Mosely and bad-guy-turned-informant Eddie Bunker, while outrunning the bad cops that Bunker's supposed to testify against, get into a debate about whether people can change. "Days change, seasons change, not people," the detective says. "People don't change, Eddie." To prove him wrong, Bunker moves to Seattle, opens up Eddie & Jack's Good Sign Bakery (don't ask), and sends a cake to the cynical Mosely. Written in icing is "Chuck Berry, Barry White, Eddie Bunker and Jack Mosely. People can change. . . . "
Will Louie Savarese someday get a cake signed by Chaka Raysor? That would probably frost the detective.
"Who knows, maybe he turned his life aroundmaybe he found God," Savarese says. "It's possible, I guess. But I don't think so. I think he's full of shit."

Giving up arms won't be easy for MILF, say gov't execs
MANILA, Philippines — Given its long history of armed struggle, it would not be easy for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front to decommission its combatants and weapons, government officials said on Monday.
After the Ramadan, the government and the Moro rebels would tackle the annex on normalization that would serve as a roadmap for the rebel group's transition to a socio-political movement.
"As you can imagine, that is something that is not easy to give up for a group that has held on to its arms in order to pursue its cause. And it is something that they cannot simply do when, in fact, there are so many other armed groups in the area," chief government negotiator Miriam Coronel-Ferrer said.
Coronel-Ferrer said the MILF has committed to this, and this was "deliverable on their part."
"This is where crunch time really comes for the MILF because this is the part where … we will be working on the decommissioning of combatants and weapons," she said.
But she admitted that even the draft of the annex would be for a "phased and gradual" decommissioning.
For now, the government has begun assessing the needs of combatants in conflict areas, and would inventory combatants and weapons, Ferrer said.
"As indicated in the framework agreement, the normalization process will be phased and gradual. It will not happen in one instant. The goal is to finish by 2016," she said.
The Philippine government and MILF have begun initial talks on the annex. So far, they have agreed on a number of "consensus points" but there have been contentions on the "phasing and process as to how it will be done," she added.
The annex would provide for a joint normalization committee that would see through the normalization process.
"There will be an independent decommissioning body that will take care of the disposition of the weapons as well as the inventory and programming for the transition of former combatants into ex-combatants," Ferrer said.
The two panels would also tackle the annex on power sharing. The MILF has listed as exclusive powers of either the national government or the autonomous political entity, and concurrently shared.
The national government exercises reserved powers over defense and external security, foreign policy, common market and global trade, coinage and monetary policy, citizenship and naturalization, and postal service.
"We [also] talk about concurrent powers that will have to redefine competencies and then exclusive powers, powers that are being devolved basically to the Bangsamoro," Ferrer said.
"So all of this, each item there, there are about 50 items. Each one of them we expect contentious discussion. We have resolved some of these 50 items on the list. You know, every now and then, we do need to come back, go back with regards to how we will language the text with reference to this," she added.

Maruti Suzuki India is confident of getting minority shareholders' nod to let parent Suzuki Motor Corp own and invest in its Gujarat facility and has no second option.
"We are thinking of getting voting (done) in October... There is no plan B, I can't see why it should not happen," Maruti Suzuki India chairman R C Bhargava said.
He was responding to a query on whether Maruti had other plans if it failed to get the minority shareholders' nod. He was sure of the minority shareholders' nod and that was why the company was not having any second option.
In March, under pressure from institutional investors, Maruti had decided to seek minority shareholders' approval after tweaking some of the earlier proposals for the controversial Gujarat plant.
The company needs 3/4th of the minority shareholders, who hold 44% stake, to approve the proposal through a special resolution.
Bhargava said the management had been busy explaining to its investors, both domestic and overseas, over the past couple of months and they have understood the company's position.
"By bringing in that money (Suzuki's) here we get a very low cost money instead of putting our money. So I get the benefit of low cost money and we get a benefit of having more liquidity, money that I can use without much concern about straining my balance sheet," he said.
The move by parent Suzuki to invest in Gujarat is mainly due to the increasing significance of India in the Japanese firm's global operations, he said.
"Essentially, what has driven the decision to let Suzuki to finance the Gujarat plant is really that Suzuki now understands that their future as a global car maker is going to be increasingly dependent on India," he said.

All domestic electric meters are marked LT1 or LT2
Around 8,300 LPG connections in Dakshina Kannada could be permanently disconnected as their users have submitted commercial electricity meter numbers (called RR numbers) to the government.
Deputy Director of Food and Civil Supplies Sharanabasappa told The Hindu on Wednesday that the department had collected information on meters from Mangalore Electricity Company (MESCOM) and separately collected the RR numbers during the drive launched a few months ago to weed out illegal LPG connections.
When the National Informatics Centre (NIC) tallied the two, it was found that over 8,300 connections in Dakshina Kannada were given to premises where commercial electric meters had been installed.
He said it was presumed that such LPG connections were used for industrial or commercial purpose. Where this assumption was not true, the families concerned could approach the department for remedy, which might undertake verification of the premises in question.
He said over 60 households from Attavara in Mangalore said they were given commercial electricity meters 15 or 20 years ago and they could not be denied LPG connections now.
Mr. Sharanabasappa said this fact had been brought to the notice of his higher ups in Bangalore and a clarification was expected in a day or two. Some government quarters and residential complexes of big companies too had commercial meters.
Suspend connections
The department was clear that the connections would be suspended forever where there was no representation from people or if LPG users failed to update the data with domestic RR numbers. Hypothetically, it was possible that some people had multiple meters, including some commercial ones. It was possible that they were using domestic LPG connections but had submitted the wrong RR number. Such people could submit correct RR numbers immediately.
Mr. Sharanabasappa said people could check whether the phrase LT1 or LT2 was mentioned on the electricity bills. All electric meters with these phrases were domestic electric connections and rest (LT3 and above) were commercial. The law was clear that only the households could be given LPG connections and households generally do not have commercial electric meters installed, he added.

"Want U Back" is a song by British singer Cher Lloyd, taken from her debut studio album Sticks + Stones. It was released on 19 February 2012 as the third single and on 22 May 2012 as her debut U.S. single taken from the album.[1] The UK single version of the song features guest vocals from The X Factor USA contestant Brian "Astro" Bradley, while the Calvin Broadus and original album version without Bradley's vocals were released in the United States. It was written by Shellback and Savan Kotecha and it was produced by Shellback. Musically, "Want U Back" is a dance-pop song, with elements of bubblegum and synthpop while the lyrics are about a girl who's in denial of the fact that she's jealous that her ex-boyfriend has moved on to another girl. Even though she was apparently who the one who dumped him in the first place, she makes various attempts to sabotage her ex-boyfriend's new relationship.
The song received acclaim from most music critics, some praised her sassy attitude on the song and labelled it "infectious". There are two videos for the song: the UK version and the US version. Both videos feature Lloyd traipsing through old photographs with her former beau and some with his new girlfriend and wreaking havoc on the happy couple. The song has reached number 3 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, number 18 on the Irish Singles Chart and number 12 on the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, the song has reached number 9 on the Pop Songs chart and number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, her first top 40 hit in the United States. It remains Lloyd's biggest hit both worldwide and in the United States to date.

Background and release[edit]
Lloyd announced on 15 December 2011 that "Want U Back" would be released as the third single from her debut album Sticks + Stones.[3] On 22 December 2011 she revealed the artwork for the single.[4] In December 2011 Lloyd said she is hoping the track will help her crack the notoriously tough American market, saying: "It's a bit crazy because I don't expect anyone to know who I am because I live in the UK. I'm from The X Factor and I came fourth. It's crazy and it gives me a lot of hope. With the USA, I'm not going to run before I can walk but you never know what's going to happen."[5] The single version features Series One US The X Factor contestant Brian "Astro" Bradley who was mentored by L.A. Reid on the show. Reid recently signed Lloyd to Epic Records in the United States. It will be Lloyd's first single in the US, but, the version would be the version without Astro.[6] Lloyd was reported to have remixed "Want U Back" with rapper, Snoop Dogg upon its release in the US.[7] On 20 July the remix of the song featuring Snoop Dogg premiered on US radio but it leaked the night before.
"Want U Back" was written by American songwriter Savan Kotecha and Swedish songwriter Shellback and produced by Shellback.[8] Lyrically, it finds Lloyd singing about her jealousy of her former lover and his new girlfriend.[8] While talking about the song, Lloyd stated:
"It's basically a track from lots of different girls' stories out there. A lot of people are telling me they can relate to the track and they've been in that situation, but it's also got an element of fun in it."[9]
The beats and guitar in the song, according to Digital Spy, "give the song an almost caricature quality."[10] There is also some uses of Auto-Tune/pitch correction to go with the synths. Cher's vocal spans from low note A3 to high note F#5.
Critical reception[edit]
The song received acclaim from many music critics. Nick Levine from BBC Music wrote a positive review, commenting: "She's a natural and charismatic vocal presence, so much so that Want U Back even creates a recurring hook from – how to put this? – the sound of her 'frustrated grunts'."[11] Jon O'Brien from Allmusic wrote that the song is "an infectious example of cutesy pure pop that recall Britney before she lost her innocence."[12] Alex Denney from NME considered it "a sassy bit of bubble-drunk pop from Britney songwriter Max Martin."[13] Danner had previously written in another NME review that the song is "a peachy-keen pop number that goes pining after an ex, Cher drawing comfort from the fact that, even if her beloved is going out with someone else now, at least they're only getting sloppy seconds."[14] Joe Rivers from No Ripcord wrote that "It's packed with hooks and has Cher's personality stamped all over it."[15]
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating: "Truth be told, it's quite refreshing for an artist to embrace their perceived public image, but the joke is really on us. Why? Because it's Cher Lloyd who has the last laugh with another hit on her hands."[10] X. Alexander of Idolator called it "uber-catchy song that we haven't been able to get it out of our heads since we first heard it."[6] Virgin Media's Matthew Horton wrote that the song has "dynamic catchy bounce."[16] David Griffiths from 4Music praised the track, writing: "It might not sound a million miles away from Miley Cyrus' 'Party in the USA', but it's got Cher's stamp all over it. From her dead pan delivery ('Please, this ain't even jealousy, she ain't got nothin' on me') to her screams of frustration peppered throughout the track, this has the potential to be an enormous global hit."[17] Bradley Stern from "MuuMuse" commented: "It is one of the album's catchiest, cutest moments–even if Lloyd's gritting her teeth and clenching her fists with rage."[18] He further wrote:
"Kicking off with a deliciously angry grunt that plays on loop (UHH!!!) the Shellback-produced track finds Lloyd ruing the day she ever stepped out on her man…who's now being made all the happier by some other chick: 'Remember all the things that you and I did first? And now you're doing them with her?!' Lloyd sings incredulously on the bouncing electro-pop beat, dissing the chick's jeans and denying all charges of jealousy in the process."[18]
In December, popular US teen website Pop Dust called "Want U Back" the 25th Best Song of 2012.[19] They wrote about it saying "An entire timeline of Stockholm Syndrome in three-and-a-half minutes: Who is this manic muppet, and why is she grunting? Does she know he doesn't want her back? At least she's honest about her brattiness though, that's refreshing. Do you think she's in on the joke? Huh, it's over already? OK, maybe just one more listen. Wait, why can't I get her voice out of my head? Rimembah ol the things that you an' oi did fuhst? No, stop looking at me like that, I'm just doing my Cher Lloyd impression".[this quote needs a citation]

Music video[edit]
International version[edit]
The music video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on 6 January 2012. The video was shot in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. In the video Lloyd sings about her jealousy and disappointment of her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend, with the video showing Lloyd's attempts to sabotage her former love's new relationship. As Lloyd sits on her bed scanning at pictures of her and her ex, she drifts off into various schemes to drive the new couple apart. In one scene Lloyd pours a bottle of water over her former boyfriend, while in another she throws popcorn all over the loved-up pair during a trip to the cinema. Astro makes an appearance in the video to rap in the latter stages of the video, posing as her ex-boyfriend, which ends with Lloyd rather airheadedly imitating the sounds of a helicopter.[5]
She also recorded a live acoustic version of the song, the video of which was uploaded to YouTube on 15 December 2011.[35]
US version[edit]
In 2012, Lloyd recorded an alternate video which was shown in the US. It premiered on 1 May 2012.[36] This new video shows Lloyd confronting her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend in California diner Cadillac Jacks, previously the setting of Cee Lo's "Forget You" music video, while performing the track on the restaurant's counter top. During the video, she gives her ex-boyfriend a strawberry smoothie and he accidentally spills it on his girlfriend. The police then arrive to arrest Lloyd and take her into custody, where she is getting her mugshot taken.[36]
Live performances[edit]
Lloyd has performed the track live at every radio station she visited on her radio tour. The majority of these performances were done acoustically. On 25 July 2012 Lloyd made her US television debut after a performance on an America's Got Talent results show. On 30 August 2012, Lloyd performed the song, along with her next single, "With Ur Love", on Today to an audience of hundreds of fans.

From the Publisher"In this elegant book Ziolkowski creates a panoramic map of Cretan myth in the first half of the twentieth century and of its reception across the arts. Building momentum from the observation that the mythology accruing around Crete and its prehistoric and pre-classical Minoan culture sees a remarkable peak in reception across Europe from around the turn of the century, Ziolkowski catalogues a wide range of artistic engagements with those Cretan figures and links them back to a straightforward exposition of Modernist aesthetics and its programmatic interests." —Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"In Minos and the Moderns: Cretan Myth in Twentieth-Century Literature and Art, Ziolkowski offers a whirlwind of examples as he traces a modernist revival of Minoan myth." —The Chronicle Review
"The appropriation of Classical Greek myth in modern literature is a familiar theme. But what about the prior Cretan myths, revived so dramatically in the early twentieth century by the archeological discoveries of Arthur Evans? In this remarkably erudite, elegant, and engaging study, Theodore Ziolkowski takes us back to those erotically charged and violent tales relating to King Minos and his progeny, showing us, in beautiful detail, how the tales of Pasiphae and the Bull, Daedalus's design of the labyrinth, or the flight of Icarus, functioned as foundational narratives of Modernism-whether the modernism of Joyce and Picasso, or of the Surrealist journal Minotaure and the novels of Marguerite Yournecar. Ziolkowksi's own narrative is itself as absorbing as a novel-a total pleasure to read!" -Marjorie Perloff, Stanford University
"Ziolkowski is one of our most distinguished scholars of modern literature, who, over the past decade or so, has turned his attention to the reception and appropriation of Classical literature by modernist authors. Ziolkowski offers a well-measured and readable mix of exposition, contextualization, analysis and bibliographical guidance which will make this volume accessible to a wide range of readers, from undergraduate students to scholars of both classical and modern literature." -Duncan Kennedy, University of Bristol
"Ziolkowski covers a remarkable amount of material, from plays and poetry to art and music, from writers and artists as well known as Picasso, Gide, and Auden to those barely known even to specialists. This breadth makes a compelling case for the argument that the Cretan myths hold a special place in modernist culture. Ziolkowski's presentation is also very readable. Each chapter is organized around one or two interpretive patterns which give the material an argumentative thrust, with the detailed treatment of each work in turn dependent on the overarching interpretive pattern." -Craig Kallendorf, Texas A&M University

Using Hangers and Poles for Better Bird Watching—Tips from Duncraft
Many times people who feed the birds station their largest feeders out in the middle of a yard on immovable poles or posts. Or feeders are just hung on an available tree, where they can´t even be seen from the house. Duncraft offers these tips on how to place feeders so birds can be enjoyed to the fullest.
Concord, NH (PRWEB) June 28, 2012
Many times people who feed the birds station their largest feeders out in the middle of a yard on immovable poles or posts. Or feeders are just hung on an available tree, where they can´t even be seen from the house. Duncraft offers these tips on how to place feeders so birds can be enjoyed to the fullest.
Often, out of the way feeders go unfilled because it´s easy to forget about a feeder that´s not regularly seen. Other reasons for not filling out of the way feeders could be the weather, such as rain and snow. Rather than let the birds go hungry, Duncraft suggests investing in a few bird feeder poles and hangers that can be used to move the feeders closer to the house for easier filling and better bird viewing.
The time to move feeders and put poles into the ground is in good weather when the ground isn´t frozen. With a little forethought and action, bird watchers can be enjoying beautiful bird views all summer and winter long from the comfort of the house–and filling feeders will be easier than ever!
Bring birds up close to decks and porches with handy deck brackets:
These days, decks and porches are integral parts of a home´s living space. In summer, nothing is nicer than being out on a deck watching the birds up close! Make a deck bird-friendly all year long by using hangers that easily clamp to a deck rail. Some clamp-on hangers offer multiple places to hang feeders, while other single-arm hangers feature a particularly striking feeder. Bird baths are also available that clamp to deck rails. Some even have a tilting feature for easier emptying and cleaning.
Wall-mount feeders outside a window–no ground space needed!
For people with little or no yard space, Duncraft suggests using wall-mount hangers. Wall mount hangers take up very little wall space, but really add impact. Most swivel on their brackets so they can be moved to the most ideal position. These work extremely well outside a kitchen window over a sink, or outside the window of a breakfast nook. Duncraft asks customers to think of the places where they spend a lot of time in the house and think of how pleasurable it would be to watch the birds from that spot!
Use movable poles sunk in the ground to position feeders for best viewing:
For patios, use multi-armed hangers with ground stakes that can be pushed into the ground around a patio or a porch´s seating spaces. Adding a hanging pot of flowers makes the view even more attractive!
Another great place to put a pole and feeder would be at the end of a walkway, or along the side of a driveway. These are areas that are used frequently coming and going, so it´s easy to check the seed level at that time. In summer, a hanging pot of flowers along with the feeder will help beautify the house. And in winter, these areas are usually kept clear so filling feeders won´t require traipsing through feet of snow. Keep seed handy and close by to make filling easy. Use a container that deters mice and other critters from getting into it. With a few new feeders and a couple of versatile poles or hangers, bird lovers can be enjoying birds from windows and decks all year long.

Great location close to the slopes and the town centre. Very friendly staff willing to help.Breakfast is continental type but with a high standard of quality. I did appreciate the most its quietness. Have not found a hotel with such a good value for money in my five trips to the Alps.

We stayed for 4nights during winter - a family ski-break. The hotel is very close to the pistes and suitable for skiers. The highlight was the restaurant which was of very high quality. Staff were also very friendly.

In late July early August the hotel was mainly occupied by elderly couples, with one or two families. The food was very good, and so was the welcome. The staff spoke English, though Madonna di Campiglio in the summer seems to be almost entirely Italian with few foreigners. We enjoyed our stay enormously. Good location for not too demanding walks in the mountains.

We were only at Hotel Miramonti for 2 days but enjoyed our stay. Two things made it worth a return trip - the dining staff and location. The staff at the front desk was good but not overly friendly. However, the waitstaff at meals was exceptional - the food was great and the staff was helpful, attentive, friendly. We were there to ski and having the hotel located so close to the lifts was ideal especially for such a short visit.

New headquarters of the Co-operative Group may be the world's greenest building
The Building Research Establishment said the Manchester development earned the highest score ever in its BREEAM rating system for buildings, 95.16 percent.

Ranbir Kapoor will have no releases this year anymore! Yes, although we were not expecting such a shocker but with 'Bombay Velvet' pushed to next year, following post-production work that remains to be completed, it seems 2014 will have no Ranbir Kapoor film hitting the screens.
Ranbir Kapoor-Anushka Sharma starrer 'Bombay Velvet' was always in the news due to its shifting release dates. The film, which was supposed to release on Christmas this year had to shift its release to November 28, in order to avoid a clash with Aamir Khan's 'PK'.
And now, the makers have decide to postpone its release and push it further for a May 2015 release because the creators are still working on the VFX and other pre production work which will take a lot more time.
Ranbir, then will have two huge releases next year, both during May. His thriller with Anurag Basu, called 'Jagga Jasoos' is already slated for a May 2015 release. Now with 'Bombay Velvet' also releasing in the same month, it would be double treat for Ranbir fans next year.
But for this year, his fans need to be patient and wait till he returns back on the silver screen again. 'Bombay Velvet' also stars Anushka Sharma in the lead role along with Karan Johar.

Lenovo drops ThinkPad X300 to answer MacBook Air
If for some strange reason it wasn't before, thin is officially in as far as notebooks are concerned.

Lenovo outsourcing its manufacturing to Taiwan
The article is a little vague (an ambiguous summary of some second-hand information from a Chinese newspaper) but apparently Lenovo is going to be hiring Taiwanese manufacturers for its notebooks rather than keep it all in the family.

I've set up a new user account on my mac so I can let a pair programmer ssh into my computer, does this mean I have to reinstall rvm and rails and configure my bash files and terminal window and all that messing about or is there a magic way of transferring everything over to the new user account as is?

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It depends on how things have been installed. If git and other utilities have been installed under /opt or /usr/local, the new user could just add the relevant 'bin' directories to their PATH and pick those up "for free".
With rvm, I think part of the design goal is to completely sandbox each user and application into their own environment if necessary. So sharing your rvm installation is probably not a good idea.

when new books by Virginia Woolf are released.
Bio: One of the most talented and original novelists in English literature, Virginia Woolf was born Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882 to a prominent English family. Her father was the eminent critic Leslie Stephen, and though Woolf received little in the way of formal education, she read avidly from her father's extensive book collection. Despite the material comforts enjoyed by her family, Woolf's childhood was a traumatic one. She suffered through a period of sexual abuse and endured the early deaths of both her mother and brother. For the rest of her life she would be afflicted by mental illness and periods of extreme depression.
Woolf moved with her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, to London in 1904 where she met regularly with many of England's finest young artists and intellectuals. "The Bloomsbury Group," as they would come to be known, included Woolf, fellow novelist E.M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Roger Fry, Benjamin Britten and the economist John Maynard Keynes, among others. This vibrant intellectual community proved important to Woolf's maturation as a thinker and an artist as she embarked upon what would be one of the most remarkable writing careers in English history. It also was important to her personally, as she married fellow Bloomsburian Leonard Woolf in 1912.

Nikon D600 'Cheaper' Full Frame
Surprised no one has mentioned it here (unless i've not noticed)
Take your photography to another level with the D600.
From true wide-angle to super-telephoto, the 24.3-megapixel FX-format sensor delivers incredibly detailed images across the cameras broad ISO range.
The autofocus system is as sensitive as Nikons flagship D4 D-SLR, offering precise subject acquisition down to -1 EV and compatibility with lenses up to f/8 combined open aperture. If video is your medium, Multi-area Full HD D-Movie offers all the flexibility you need for broadcast quality footage.
Weather-sealed to the same degree as the professional Nikon D800 and surprisingly lightweight, the D600 is the perfect way to capture the full perspective.
24.3-megapixel FX-format (full-frame) CMOS sensor with excellent signal-to-noise ratio and wide dynamic range. Delivers richly detailed images with smooth tonal gradations.
Highly sensitive autofocus with Multi-CAM4800 39-point AF system: delivers fast and precise coverage across the frame. Sensitive down to -1 EV and compatible up to f/8.
ISO 1006400: extendable up to 25,600 (equivalent) and down to 50 (equivalent). Enables faster shutter speeds for finely detailed images with minimal noise.
Multi-area D-Movie records FX- and DX-format Full HD (1080p) movies in 30p, 25p and 24p. Max recording time approx. 29 minutes 59 seconds. Offers uncompressed HDMI output to external devices and high-fidelity audio control.
EXPEED 3 image processing engine with 14-bit A/D conversion and 16-bit image processing for superb tonal gradation.
HDR (High Dynamic Range): ideal for high-contrast scenes. Takes two shots within a single shutter release to create an image with an extremely wide dynamic range, low noise and rich color gradation.
Active D-Lighting: capture more detail in high-contrast lighting conditions.
Nikons Active D-Lighting automatically retains the details in both dark and
bright areas for stunning images with natural contrast.
Scene Recognition System: the cameras image sensor and its 2,016-pixel RGB sensor provide precise data to the Scene Recognition System, which optimizes exposure, autofocus and white balance immediately before the shutter is released for sharply defined images.
Time-lapse shooting: use Interval Timer Shooting to trigger the shutter at preset intervals. Use Time Lapse Photography to save images as movie files and view slow action in fast playback, with playback rates from 24 to 36,000 times faster than normal.
Picture Controls customize the look of your stills and videos by fine-tuning parameters such as sharpness, saturation, and hue before capture.
Precision 8-cm (3.2-in.), 921k-dot, VGA LCD monitor with automatic monitor brightness control. Delivers bright, crisp image playback with a wide color reproduction capacity.
High-performance viewfinder with approx. 100% frame coverage and 0.7x magnification. Offers DX Crop Mode with viewfinder marking.
5.5 fps continuous shooting: capture fast-moving action at five-and-a-half frames per second.
Quiet shooting mode: perfect for discreet photography, the sound of the cameras mirror return mechanism is noticeably reduced.
Mirror balancer: minimizes the bounce of the mirrors down movement, extending viewing time and allowing more time for AF operationone reason the D600 achieves AF and focus tracking even during high-speed continuous shooting.
Compact, light and durable: built to withstand severe conditions, the camera boasts magnesium alloy top and rear covers and weighs only 760 g (without battery). Weather-sealed to the same degree as Nikons professional D800 SLR, it offers enhanced resistance to moisture and dust.
Dual-axis electronic virtual horizon: you can confirm the camera's position relative to the horizontal plane and its pitch (forward or rear rotation) using the
LCD monitor, or the viewfinder.
Twin SD card slots: two SD memory card slots offer enhanced shooting flexibility. Use the second card when the first is full, or record stills on one and movies on another. SDXC and UHS-I compatible.
Wireless transfer: Nikons optional WU-1b Mobile Adapter lets you share images directly from the D600 to a smartphone or tablet, or to control the camera remotely via your smart device*.
Cost £1,955 or $2,100

I think this may be my next camera! I was really looking forward to the D800, but it's a little pricey for me, but it's still a great camera.
An interesting fact about the D600 is that it's the cheapest full-frame DSLR on the market right now.
|Sep 13, 2012, 06:04 PM
I pre-ordered from Amazon, though it wasn't my first choice. I wanted a new d700 but unfortunately discontinued so hoping this is a worthy alternative.
|Sep 13, 2012, 06:07 PM
I got the message about it yesterday but was too occupied with other things (and then exhausted) to post anything about it.
It looks like a worthy camera, but not quite the same as the D700 which was a professional level camera body.
The specs on the D600 are very good.

Can someone explain this part in bold...
"The autofocus system is as sensitive as Nikons flagship D4 D-SLR, offering precise subject acquisition down to -1 EV and compatibility with lenses up to f/8 combined open aperture. "
|Sep 14, 2012, 12:57 AM
- Nikon targets Consumers and not Professionals with this camera. That impressed me to be honest.
- HDR (High Dynamic Range): ideal for high-contrast scenes. Takes two shots within a single shutter release to create an image with an extremely wide dynamic range, low noise and rich color gradation. <-- Wow!
- Active D-Lighting: capture more detail in high-contrast lighting conditions. Nikon's Active D-Lighting automatically retains the details in both dark and bright areas for stunning images with natural contrast. <-- Waiting to see this.

No point in the D600 in UK, for now.
In the UK, its a pretty poor situation Nikon have gotten themselves in.
US launch price for D600: ~£1300 after sales taxes
Jessops launch price for D600: £1955
Amazon price for D800: £2,249
A price differential of £294 for a much superior D800. I question the wisdom of those thinking of buying a D600 at launch price at all. In fact, there is not one reason to get the D600 over the D800 at current price levels in the UK!
I was waiting for the D600 to move up to FX. Now I'm either going to wait till it drops to something on par with the actual pricing in US ~£1300 or just pay the difference and get a much better D800.

If I had to start over now, instead of shooting a 5DIII + 5DII, I would probably get a d800+d600. Far too deep in canon to ever, ever change though

Hopefully the price will drop after a few months.
We can only hope.

I am looking forward to seeing some high ISO shots to see how well it does in low light. I think this will be my Christmas gift to myself.

D700 was killed by 5dmk2
D600 should easily be equal to 5dmk2 or better.

|Sep 14, 2012, 01:08 PM
Use this site ( http://camerapricebuster.com/ ) and you'll see the best price at the moment for the D800 is £2099, just £150 more then the D600!
It looks like it will be a great camera (I would expect quality to be similar to the D800, just the lower resolution), and the smaller form factor appeals to me too, but it surely needs to be 3 or 400 pounds cheaper to sell well in these shores. Anyone sensible would simply buy the D800 at the moment. The current release price of £1955 is crazy given recent price drops for the D800.
In reply to skrutzen asking about what 'compatibility with lenses up to f/8 combined open aperture' means - say you have a lens with a maximum f4 aperture (eg 600mm f4 lens), and put a 2x convertor on it to get a focal length of 1200mm, the convertor adds two stops (simply due to the laws of physics) to the maximum aperture (so goes from f4 to f8) - the auto focusing system is still able to work even though the light coming through the lens and into the viewfinder is now very low making matters hard for the autofocus system.
|Sep 14, 2012, 01:10 PM
I am pretty impressed.
|Sep 14, 2012, 08:45 PM
the camera looks interesting, i wish they offered a kit with the 24-70 2.8 instead. Would want to look into the video capabilities with it. Might be time to upgrade the trusty D90. (is it worth it to trade in, I don't really NEED a spare DLSR as i'm not a professional still photographer)

Damned shame about the 1/200th sync speed. Even the D7000 will at least do 1/250th sec.

I would have been very excited a few years ago about this announcement, but I'm very happy with its smaller-sensor brother, the D7000, and my gear lust is now triggered by Fuji X-mount cameras. If the D600 is anywhere near as good as the D7000, it'll be one hell of a camera.
IMHO they're very different cameras, the D700 being a lot, lot faster and has much better low-light capabilities (both, in terms of sensor noise and especially AF capabilities) while the 5D Mark II is more suited for applications where its higher-res sensor shines. But I wouldn't say one camera is better than the other, that seems very naïve to me. To go as far and say one camera flat-out kills the other is very fanboy-ish.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

By the time the D600 settles below the £1500 mark, the D800 should still be settled at just over £2000, which, for a £500 investment still has the D800 looming over the D600.
If the D800 dips below £2000 before the D600 sells below £1500 (I was hoping for £1300) I think as a long term investment that the camera is, I'd find myself still sorely tempted by the D800. I'm going to wait this one out for a while I think and make my decision before the end of the year.

I have a great deal of interest in this camera as well the OP.
I've been looking to make the leap into the DSLR market for some time and had just about made up my mind to pick-up the D7000 (starting from scratch so no existing lenses to consider and chose the Nikon over Canon for no reason other than the feel in my hands).
Recently, I've been following rumours about the D600. It sounded like the perfect opportunity to get into an affordable (for me) FF camera. I had hoped and anticipated that it would launch much lower than $2180 (Canada) so that it would be an easy decision.
Now, I'm really not sure...
Comments, thoughts & suggestions are most welcome.

Strange, too, since every other current Nikon above the D5100 and D3200 will do 1/250 or better.

Any photographer worth anything will tell you two things: it's the photographer that makes good photos, not the camera, and to spend your money on good lenses because they will outlast the life of the camera.
I would check out http://www.kenrockwell.com and look at his recommendations, esp. The Nikon dream team and the Nikon cheapskate list. There is a ton of info on that site but be sure to bookmark something that you find interesting because it's not very well organized and can be next to impossible to find it again.

D7000 and D600 are great options. I mean you got two cameras that can use almost the whole Nikon lens catalog. Then to add the video .. imagine that video with any D-type lens or even an AI lens?
I like that its a smaller body. I don't like lugging a huge camera around. I can't wait to use one or see the images captured from this camera. My dilemma now is which one D7k or D600? Full Frame or DX. $1k or $2k
Ken has his opinions and they are just that. It will boil down to what you want to spend on a camera. That can be said with any camera out. Mine you that the D600 cost only $800 more than a D80 and a few hundred dollars more than the D300/D200 .. all were tops in their category too and still can take excellent photos. I suspect this D600 to do just as well.

In President Obama's first term, he built a national security "team of rivals" and got mouse-trapped into a dubious Afghan War escalation. For his second term, he's opted for people who share his views on more restrained military power and faces criticism for "group think," says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

Framing the Torture-Drone Debate
The neocons have lost ground within the Executive Branch, but continue to wield great influence in Congress and Washington opinion circles. That sway is revealed in the framing of debates on President George W. Bush's power to torture and President Obama's use of lethal drones, notes ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley.
Brennan's Loose Talk on Iran Nukes
The Senate Intelligence Committee's hearing on John Brennan to head the CIA focused on lethal drones, but Brennan's loose talk lumping Iran with North Korea as nuclear threats could be even more worrisome, recalling Iraq WMD exaggerations, as Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity warn Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
John Brennan's Tenet-Like Testimony
Exclusive: Though false intelligence was at the center of the disastrous Iraq War, CIA Director-to-be John Brennan played fast and loose on Iran's nuclear program in his Senate testimony, a troubling sign he might undermine the principle of honest analysis just like his mentor, George Tenet, warns ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
A Rush to Judgment in Bulgarian Blast?
One problem in assessing blame for terror attacks in the Middle East is that governments have political interests in linking these outrages to enemies and then pushing that case in public forums. That dynamic may now be influencing the probe of a terror bombing in Bulgaria, reports Gareth Porter for Inter Press Service.
Brennan's Bumbling Case for Terror War
Exclusive: CIA Director-designate John Brennan stumbled through less-than-challenging questions at his Senate confirmation hearing, struggling to square the circle of his past ties to abuses in the "war on terror" with his future promises to be a force for openness and reform, as ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman notes.
A Chance to Debate the 'War on Terror'
Confirmation hearings for John Brennan to head the CIA will give Congress – and the American people – their first chance for some public airing of the secret drone program that has struck at suspected al-Qaeda terrorists, including U.S. citizens, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
Drone Memo Puts Brennan on Spot
Exclusive: President Obama is finally giving the congressional Intelligence Committees a look at a Justice Department legal opinion justifying the killing of Americans in senior al-Qaeda positions plotting attacks on the U.S. The disclosure comes as the Senate considers John Brennan to be CIA director, notes Ray McGovern.
Making 'Lethal Drones' Routine
Seeking consistent standards for using lethal drones, the Obama administration is drafting a manual to govern when such attacks can be unleashed. But the secret guidelines carry other risks, including the acceptance of assassination as a routine part of U.S. foreign policy, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The Grilling that Brennan Deserves
Exclusive: When President Obama's national security nominees reach the Senate, the toughest challenge is expected against Chuck Hagel for Defense, but CIA Director-designee John Brennan has more to explain about his work over the past decade on the terror war's "dark side," says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
