Netflix, HBO Streaming Video Traffic Increases As BitTorrent Declines
A new report released today shows the continued domination Netflix has on North American Internet traffic patterns. According to broadband networking company Sandvine, which periodically releases its findings on web usage, Netflix now accounts for 36.5 percent of downstream traffic on fixed networks during peak evening hours, which is up from the 34.9 percent reported in the second half of 2014 .

David Cross Is Letting Fans Name Their Price And Download His First Film Creation Hits On BitTorrent
Actor David Cross is foregoing the usual indie film distribution model for his darkly satirical film HITS. He's letting the public pay whatever they want to download it on BitTorrent for the first two weeks, starting this Friday, February 13. But is this really the best way to distribute something that the film's producers have worked so hard on? Cross and his producers said… Read More
Decentralize All The Things!
They gave us a fully decentralized Internet and we used it to build web services–Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, iCloud–so massively centralized they verge on being quasi-medieval fiefdoms. Now we're building the Internet of Someone Else's Things, wherein every room of every home will contain devices controlled by servers the homeowners don't know, control, or understand. Read More

BitTorrent Says Its Promotional Bundles Saw 60M Downloads In 2013
BitTorrent just published a blog post recapping its past year, particular the success it has seen with BitTorrent Bundles.

BitTorrent is publishing a blog post with more details about its in-development chat product, which it announced in September with the stated goal of ensuring "that your messages stay yours: private, secure, and free."

BitTorrent Would Really Like Everyone To Stop Suggesting It's Being Used For Piracy
At this point, you've probably read about how popular Game of Thrones is on BitTorrent — and there's at least one article calling the show "the once and future king of BitTorrent."

Jens Jensen
Some sources say that Jens, his wife Johanna and their sons Jens and John crossed the Atlantic on the ship Westmoreland in 1857, however, an examination of the ship's manifest does not support this information. There is a Jens Jensen (b. ca. 1831) on this ship but the only woman who could be Johanna (an Anna Marie Jensen) is a spinster. The two boys are not listed. Additional research is needed to determine the year of their immigration from Denmark and the name of the ship upon which they sailed.

In recent weeks, I've written about how the "Bootleggers and Baptists" dynamic corrupts regulatory politics. Bruce Yandle developed this concept decades ago. He observed that Prohibition became reality because Baptists wanted people to stop drinking while the ban on legal alcohol put money in the Bootlegger's pockets. The do-gooders succeeded only because the money-grubbers joined their effort.
It seems every day now some famous personality or former friend has passed away and at 68 it makes me think sometimes of my own mortality.
I recently highlighted an important book that describes how politics really works. "Bootleggers and Baptists: How Economic Forces and Moral Persuasion Interact to Shape Regulatory Politics," by Adam Smith and Bruce Yandle, showed that prohibition became reality because it appeared to satisfy both Baptists and Bootleggers.
Approximately 1,982 years ago, a man died. In fact, many men died that day. We know for sure of three men. Two were tied to crosses and crucified. One was nailed to the cross. Had that been the end of it, it would have just been like so many other Roman crucifixions. But, unbeknownst to most anyone at the time, the first Easter weekend would become the most important weekend in the history of the world.
It was a great week for Newton County! I am ecstatic to tell you that "Haleigh's Law," the medical cannabis oil bill, passed both the House and Senate and was signed by the Governor this week. Also my bill, "Kelsey's Law," passed unanimously in the Senate near midnight on the last night. I was also very excited that Newton County Representative Pam Dickerson's cyber-bullying law passed both the House and the Senate.
Dear Editor,
The headline to this story is an adage taught by journalism schools throughout the country. News is supposed to be based on facts and reported without bias. But alas, reporters are human and have biases, acknowledged or not. If they are blatant and obvious, then we can dismiss them out of hand, (example: Chris Matthews saying, "I felt this thrill going up my leg," when listening to a speech given by then-presidential candidate Barack Obama).
The death of Leonard Nimoy saddened millions of Trekkies around the world (including me). But it wasn't just Trekkies who mourned. In the past month, it has become clear that Mr. Spock - the character Nimoy brought to life - had become a cultural icon extending far beyond the Trek universe.
In order to win next month, Republican nominee Mitt Romney will have to articulate the reason why the choice for him is right. The choice has to be about more than Mitt Romney, and really about more than President Barack Obama. The compelling choice should contrast the very different futures each man would seek to create. The ability to describe and contrast two potential visions of the future -- one under Obama and the other under Romney -- will likely prove key to who wins.
Ronald Reagan had this linguistic ability, which he honed over decades of work.
If one were trying to prove in court that MSNBC is crazily biased, you could do worse than submitting Rachel Maddow's Tuesday night show.
As a kid, I was a sucker for machines. I couldn't pass a gumball rack without turning all the handles; I took apart my toys just to get at the electric motors; and I was simply mad for anything with batteries, gears or knobs.
I would have given away all my Superman comic books for a robot, even if it was missing a dozen transistors. Well, times have changed, and now I'm surrounded by more machines than I ever wanted. And I'd give them all away, if I could.
I would be careful about declaring the presidential contest "a whole new race" following Wednesday's debate. Polls show that most voters have made up their minds, and some, due to early voting, have already cast their ballots. One good night for Mitt Romney does not turn the world upside down.
But make no mistake, it was a very good night for Romney - and a bad one for President Obama. This election wasn't a done deal before the debate, and it certainly isn't now.
My job seldom takes me to the big city these days, unless I'm traveling. But, in college and later working downtown in the 80s and 90s, I was a regular on the streets of Atlanta. Encounters with panhandlers were part of the daily routine. You got used to it, but I was never comfortable.
If you have any heart at all, it's hard to turn away from need. And, yet, there could be no end. Each small gift only attracted more asks. Sometimes, I'd give spare change or a few small bills; other times, I'd avert ...
Most of the discussion on taxes was spent on Romney's tax plan. Romney's plan, like most tax reform plans, would lower tax rates and make other changes to the tax code to encourage growth. The economy will not recover fully until we have tax reform.
"Biscuits," he said. "Biscuits?" I asked. "Yeah, biscuits," he said. "I want to learn how to make biscuits, the kind my grandmother made." My jaw dropped a bit. This bachelor friend of ours sitting across the lunch table was revealing a side that caught me off guard. He's regularly decked out in crisp, starched shirts that fit the rather starchy business he's in. The idea of a guy up to his elbows in flour and shortening was hard to imagine. (Actually, it's impossible to imagine the woman in my own household up to her elbows in flour ...
Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company in Greater Garfield, Ga., just called me with what he said was an exciting development.
My husband and I have very different TV viewing habits. He watches most sporting events, especially football, golf and NASCAR. If there is an old western movie being televised, he will find it. He will also watch endless reruns of any murder-mystery series. I think his all-time favorite is "Lonesome Dove."
Conservative activist circles are abuzz with a new conspiracy theory: Polls showing President Obama with a growing lead over Mitt Romney are deliberately being skewed by the Liberal Mainstream Media so that Republicans will be disheartened and stay home on Election Day.
I'm glad to be home, in my office, typing on a real computer - not fumbling around on a tablet in the dark, late at night, in a far away B&B. But in many ways, I'm still not back from my Pittsburgh to DC bike ride. I'm happy to be with family and friends, sleeping in my own bed, eating what and where I want, but other aspects of reentry since arriving home Monday morning have been less easy to handle.
The Obama administration's policies are bad. Bad in the sense that the policies are morally corrupting. They take money and control away from people and give them to government bureaucrats, who then decide what should be done. The policies encourage people to be less responsible personally and to rely more on the government.
Apparently, Monday, Aug. 27, was opening day for Hysterical Liberal Sanctimony About Imagined Republican Racism. During this first round, The New York Times, The Atlantic and the TV networks each put in a splendid showing.
To cope with the insanity of modern U.S. presidential elections, I've adopted a jaded strategy that I'll share with you. My opinion is harsh, but I'm calling it as I see it.
The summer dragged by, and my walking shoes didn't even get their first outing. It was just too hot, and I questioned the sanity of those who kept up regular walking and running, sometimes with gasping dogs in tow. Now that it's fall, I've got no excuses. Besides, Covington is a great little town for walking: broad thoroughfares with bicycle lanes, beautiful residential streets wending their way past carefully tended yards, plenty of trees for shade along some routes, a charming square and enough hilly rises to give a workout to anyone who wants to max the ...

From the very beginning Mark has been so helpful answering questions about the website and the awesome timing system they have. Ultra Signup is by far above and beyond other registration websites I have used. The "extras" this site provides to race directors of smaller races who can't afford chip timing are so helpful and save so much time and money! Thanks for all you do!
I have used Ultrasignup since 2012 when we started out race series here in Birmingham. We started with two races in 2012, including a three day stage race. In 2013 we put on a total of 8 local races and one out of town race the Lake Martin 50, to be the Lake Martin 100 Mile endurance run in 2014. I could not be happier with our relationship with Ultrasignup. Registration is a snap for runners, we get all the support we could possible need, even for "digitally challenged" race directors like myself. Mark is always there ready to help and always willing to fix what I screw up. The Ultrasignup Timing System is a life saver. Our races are small and we can not afford to hire professional timing companies. All you have to do is enter the bib numbers in a laptop as runners cross the finish line and the results are immediately available. We take a small printer to races with up and can printout updated results all during the race. And, again, Mark is there to fix my mistakes when necessary. After every race I have had the preliminary results posted online the day following the event. Give Ultrasignup a Try. I assure you, you will be as sold on Ultrasignup as I am. David Tosch, Southeastern Trail Runs Please feel free to contact me with questions. email@example.com
You've done an amazing job at setting everything up and making every feature available for us to control. I have more and more companies bother me to switch over to their registration platform and the only thing I can do to get them to leave me alone is to tell them all of the awesome reasons as to why I use Ultrasignup and then they realize that those are things that they can't even pretend to be able to offer me one day.
Since 2008 the HURT 100 has utilized Mark's services at Ultrasignup and we are incredibly happy that his services are available to us. As a small event we don't have the panache of other events, however Mark treats us as if we are his MOST IMPORTANT EVENT. This, despite the fact that we have a very difficult lottery system in place that he easily and seamlessly navigates year on year to make it perfect. The amount of work he puts into this event and our HURT Trail Series is beyond reproach. I hesitate to say that If you are an RD you need Mark's services, simply because I selfishly want him to keep concentrating on our small event. Mark you ROCK! Aloha, HURT 100
Hi Luis, This was my first Born to Run event and I loved it! I got into chi-walking/running last year and did my first half marathon last October. I hope to attend many more B2R. I want to thank the ranch family for sharing their beautiful property and the Taramuhara runners for coming all the way out here to play with us. Also thank your mom for the awesome Mexican food. I especially liked the wake-up call Saturday morning. It was awesome! When I heard the ranchero music I jumped out of my bunk and started dancing in my RV, my pet bird, Rosie, woke up and just stared at me. She looked like she was saying "really", then tucked her head back under her wing and went back to sleep. Thanks again and see you next year! I already signed up for the 30!! Regards, Lisa Shelley Sole Runner (Long Beach)
Thanks again for all the help. you guys have been great to work with! The timing software was so slick I was able to have my 12 and 9 year old daughters do a lot of it while I focused on other RD tasks! Ultrasignup rocks!

^Uhh, the original 1980 Marvel run was explicitly presented as a new ongoing mission after TMP. There was no need to retcon that later; it was overtly the case from the beginning. Just about every post-TMP novel or comic since then has been, has
to be, in a post-TMP ongoing mission, so it was hardly an innovation for
Untold Voyages
to follow that established precedent. And UV didn't reference the 1980 run in any way, as far as I recall. The '80 run wasn't that well-regarded, and I doubt Marvel was eager to remind people of it.
Maybe what you're thinking of is the cover to UV #1, which had the caption "Tales from the Second Five-Year Mission!" But that was far from the first mention of a post-TMP 5-year mission; for instance,
The Captain's Daughter
had mentioned it three years before UV #1 came out, and I'm sure there were earlier references as well.

Daybreak: Assad Blithely Ignores Ceasefire
Plus Egypt reinstates military-favored candidate, and more in the news
• U.N. monitors observing the Syria ceasefire might also have observed President Assad's forces killing at least 70 in Hama and shelling the Damascus suburbs. [WP]
• After having been disqualified, Egyptian election authorities relented and let Ahmed Shafiq, a Mubarak-era prime minister, back into the presidential race, where he is expected to be the military's preferred candidate and primarily cut into Amr Moussa's bloc (which is theoretically good for the Islamists, no?). [JPost]
• Especially given what's going on in neighboring Syria, tiny Lebanon is a tinderbox. [NYT]
• If Socialist François Hollande wins the French presidency early next month, it is conceivable that Marine Le Pen of the Front National will be seen as the leader of the opposition. [NYT]
• The head of the IDF referred to "other forces" besides Israel's that were prepared to launch strikes against Iran's nuclear program. [AP/Vos Iz Neias?]
• Former longtime Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine, a charter member of the Jewish Coaches Association who was fired in the wake of (now iffy) allegations of past sexual molestation, has got a new gig—with a club in Haifa. [ESPN]

Comparison of three different sedative-anaesthetic protocols (ketamine, ketamine-medetomidine and alphaxalone) in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)

2 Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Utrecht, Yalelaan 106, 3584 CM, Utrecht, The Netherlands
3 Department of Parasitology, Biomedical Primate Research Centre, Lange Kleiweg 161, 2288 GJ, Rijswijk, The Netherlands
BMC Veterinary Research 2013, 9:113 doi:10.1186/1746-6148-9-113Published: 11 June 2013
Handling of common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) usually requires chemical restraint. Ketamine has been associated with muscle damage in primates, while common marmosets, compared to other primates, additionally display an exceptional high sensitivity to ketamine-associated side-effects. Notably, muscle twitching movements of limbs and hands, and a marked increase in salivation are observed. We investigated two alternative intramuscular (i.m.) immobilisation protocols against ketamine (50 mg/kg; protocol 1) in a double-blind randomised crossover study in ten healthy adult common marmosets for use as a safe reliable, short-term immobilisation and sedation. These protocols comprised: alphaxalone (12 mg/kg; protocol 2) and 25 mg/kg ketamine combined with 0.50 mg/kg medetomidine (reversal with 2.5 mg/kg atipamezole; protocol 3A). Following completion and unblinding, the project was extended with an additional protocol (3B), comprising 25 mg/kg ketamine combined with 0.05 mg/kg medetomidine (reversal with 0.25 mg/kg atipamezole, twice with 35 min interval).
All protocols in this study provided rapid onset (induction times <5 min) of immobilisation and sedation. Duration of immobilisation was 31.23 ± 22.39 min, 53.72 ± 13.08 min, 19.73 ± 5.74 min, and 22.78 ± 22.37 min for protocol 1, 2, 3A, and 3B, respectively. Recovery times were 135.84 ± 39.19 min, 55.79 ± 11.02 min, 405.46 ± 29.81 min, and 291.91 ± 80.34 min, respectively. Regarding the quality, and reliability (judged by pedal withdrawal reflex, palpebral reflex and muscle tension) of all protocols, protocol 2 was the most optimal. Monitored vital parameters were within clinically acceptable limits during all protocols and there were no fatalities. Indication of muscle damage as assessed by AST, LDH and CK values was most prominent elevated in protocol 1, 3A, and 3B.
We conclude that intramuscular administration of 12 mg/kg alphaxalone to common marmosets is preferred over other protocols studied. Protocol 2 resulted in at least comparable immobilisation quality with acceptable and less frequent side effects and superior recovery quality. In all protocols, supportive therapy, such as external heat support, remains mandatory. Notably, an unacceptable long recovery period in both ketamine/medetomidine protocols (subsequently reversed with atipamezole) was observed, showing that α-2 adrenoreceptor agonists in the used dose and dosing regime is not the first choice for sedation in common marmosets in a standard research setting.

Welcome to the Age of Weaponized Malware
Posted Date:
The U.S. has not denied its role in the use of recently discovered weaponized malware and already, other countries are entering this arena as India recently announced the empowerment of its government agencies to carry out state-sponsored malware attacks. These state-sponsored malware attacks officially out of the shadows and mainstream for organizations and end users alike. In fact, Google recently announced an alert service for gmail users for "state sponsored attacks". How exactly did we get to this point and what are the factors and threats that you need to be aware of?
Watch this complimentary webcast led by IT security industry experts Richard Stiennon and Paul Henry, as they answer the following questions:

A behind-the-scenes veteran in the kitchen of the acclaimed Peninsula Grill in downtown Charleston has been tapped to replace Robert Carter as executive chef.
Graham Dailey helped opened the North Market Street restaurant in 1997 and has worked as chef de cuisine for the past eight years.
Dailey said he plans to put his own stamp on the menu. He will be 'ushering in a new era of lighter, fresher fare that celebrates the natural flavors of the freshest ingredients,' according to a statement from the upscale restaurant.
'This is obviously an opportunity of a lifetime,' Dailey said in the statement Wednesday.
Peninsula Grill owner Hank Holliday said in prepared remarks that Dailey is 'an extraordinarily talented chef. We are thrilled to have him leading our team.'
Holliday said Carter 'had a great 14-year run as a fantastic chef here and has been and will continue to be a wonderful hospitality ambassador for the city of Charleston. We wish him every success in his future endeavors.'
Carter, a 1989 Johnson & Wales University graduate, had been the face of Peninsula Grill since it opened in Holliday's Planters Inn property in February 1997. He was well-known for his decadent coconut cake and other signature dishes.
No reason was given for his departure. He took a leave of absence from the restaurant in May, saying at the time he planned to work on a cookbook.
Carter recently appeared on the Food Network's 'Iron Chef America,' in a cooking competition taped earlier this year.
'I have very much enjoyed my association with the Peninsula Grill,' he said in statement Wednesday. 'At the same time, I am looking forward to new opportunities, which promises to be both challenging and rewarding, and it gives me more time with my family. I am also excited for Graham. He has done a superb job here for so long and I have no doubt he will continue the tradition of excellence we have established these last 14 years.'
Peninsula Grill is rated a Forbes Four Star and AAA Four Diamond dining establishment.
Dailey's professional culinary experience includes a two-year stint in New York City working under chef Anthony Bourdain, now the host of the Travel Channel's 'Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.'
Dailey then enrolled in and graduated from France's Le Cordon Bleu and became the first American student to work in the three-star, Michelin-rated Hotel Lutetia in Paris, according to Peninsula Grill.

Netanyahu holds most cards in postelection Israel
The wild card in the postelection jockeying is Avigdor Lieberman, who ran on an anti-Arab platform and turned his party into the third biggest in parliament, with 15 seats.
A caricature Tuesday in the daily Yediot Ahronot showed Netanyahu and Livni sweating as they play musical chairs, with a grinning Lieberman's finger on the tape deck.
Lieberman can't crown Livni – she doesn't have enough seats even with his support – but he can block Netanyahu, who can't form his hard-line coalition without him.
Whoever is tapped to form a new government has six weeks to do so, after which someone else gets a chance – or the country goes to a new election.
Lieberman has been considering Livni, who can accommodate some of his demands for less religious interference in the lives of Israel's citizens. Those are demands that Netanyahu will be hard-pressed to meet in a hard-line coalition, which would depend on support from Orthodox religious parties.
For Lieberman, the move might be little more than a way to drive up the price Netanyahu will need to pay, in the form of ministerial jobs and influence over the government's platform.
"Lieberman is the tiebreaker," political analyst Hanan Crystal said.
Friedman has covered Israeli politics for the AP since 2006.

Clare Calvet's Book of the Week: The Gershwins and Me - Book Review
The Gershwins and Me - A Personal History in Twelve Songs
by Michael Feinstein
Michael Feinstein is a Broadway artist, pianist, cabaret singer and archivist, and is a five-time Grammy nominated recording artist. A real rags-to-riches story, the Gershwins (originally Gershvin) were originally from St Petersburg and the parents, part of the diaspora, married in 1895 and settled in New York. They had four children, Ira was born in 1896 and George in 1898.
George Gershwin was the celebrated composer and pianist, best known for "An American in Paris", "Porgy and Bess" and "Rhapsody in Blue". At the height of his success he wrote the music for the film "Shall We Dance", which won an Oscar for Best Song. Sadly, George died unexpectedly from a brain tumour in 1937. Ira was the lyricist/songwriter, and is remembered for many songs, including "Someone to Watch Over Me", "It Ain't Necessarily So", and in 1932 he shared the Pulitzer Prize for song writing for the score "Of Thee I Sing".
Michael Feinstein met Ira Gershwin in 1976 and collaborated with him on the family archives until the latter's death in 1983. This book includes many stories and reminiscences, photographs, Gershwin memorabilia, concert programmes, music scores, lobby cards, film posters and more.
A fascinating life recorded in this beautifully illustrated book, and liberally sprinkled with the works of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill, Jerome Kern et al.
Publisher Simon and Schuster
Pages 350
The book is accompanied by a CD.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
"What did Iran have to do with me?" a girl named Maryam (Mariam Parris), asks in voice-over. She left the country as a baby with her parents, now comfortably assimilated immigrants living in safe, suburban New Jersey; her high school chums even call her "Mary." But one day in 1979, her cousin, Ali (David Ackert), arrives from Tehran to stay with them while studying at the local university. As tensions between the U.S. and Iran mount, his fervent devotion to Islam and the Ayatollah Khomeini mix uneasily (and sometimes comically) with her own attempts to keep up a facade of carefree American teenagerdom.
Director Serry, an Iranian American who grew up in this country, said he made this intensely personal film in part to counter the general amnesia that has settled over the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, a key event in American political and social life. It was a time of yellow ribbons, flag waving, and racial epithets hurled at dark-skinned people, an incendiary tangle of patriotism and warmongering. Sound familiar? Serry perfectly captures the peculiar climate, creating uncanny echoes with today's situation. Persian stars Shaun Toub and Shohreh Aghdashloo are extremely convincing as Maryam's parents, a couple caught between old-world elegance and the bliss of suburban forgetfulness.
Maryam's schoolmates are mostly blond-and-blue-eyed caricaturesglib, breezy, and nastyand the film's final plot twists strain credibility. Parris and Ackert strike its deepest notes in exploring Ali and Maryam's growing relationship: Separated by vast distances of geography, language, and culture, they're bound by the half-truths and permanent misunderstandings that lie at the heart of family.

The Shiv Sena on Friday put the final nail in the coffin of Manohar Joshi's political career by announcing that BMC standing committee chairman Rahul Shewale would contest the Lok Sabha polls on a Sena ticket from Joshi's traditional Mumbai South-central seat.
Shewale is the chairman of the all-powerful BMC standing committee and is known to be a big-time fund-raiser for the party.
Joshi, a former Lok Sabha speaker and veteran Sena leader, rubbed Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray the wrong way a couple of months ago when he publicly criticised Thackeray's leadership qualities. The Sena chief maintained a dignified silence then, but hit back at Joshi at the right time.
In fact, Thackeray was never quite fond of Joshi because of his son's links with MNS chief Raj Thackeray. Joshi's son is Raj's business partner. Joshi had almost begged Thackeray to give him a ticket to contest at least from Kalyan. But his request was summarily rejected.
Indications are Joshi might gravitate towards the NCP, which is led by his old friend Sharad Pawar, or contest as a Sena rebel.
Currently Congress' Eknath Gaikwad, a Dalit, represents Mumbai South-central. But there is a wave of resentment within the Congress against him. He might be replaced by former planning commission member and noted Dalit intellectual Bhalchandra Mungekar.
Former MLC and MTNL union leader Arvind Sawant (Sena) will contest against Union minister of state Milind Deora (Cong) in South Mumbai. The Sena has replaced MPs Anand Paranjape (Kalyan) and Ganeshrao Dudhgaonkar (Parbhani) with Kopri-Pachpakhadi MLA Eknath Shinde's son Dr Shrikant and MLA Sanjay (Bandu) Jadhav respectively. Though Paranjape is a sitting Sena MP, he will contest from Kalyan as an NCP candidate.
In South Mumbai, the MNS factor will play a crucial role as it did in the 2009 elections when its MLA Bala Nandgaonkar split anti-Congress votes in a big way. It is learnt that since the MNS has the potential to damage the prospects of Sena-BJP alliance nominees, the BJP is trying to persuade Raj Thackeray not to field any candidate for the LS polls and in return the BJP will help the MNS in the assembly elections.
In Mumbai North-west, the fight will be between sitting MP Gurudas Kamat (Cong) and Sena's Gajanan Kirtikar and AAP's Mayank Gandhi. In Mumbai North-east too it will be a triangular contest between sitting MP Sanjay Patil (NCP) and Kirit Somaiya (BJP) and Medha Patkar (AAP). Patil is also president of the NCP's Mumbai unit.
Poonam Mahajan, daughter of slain BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, was aspiring for this seat, but eventually the ticket went to Somaiya, who has represented this seat in the past.
The Sena contests 22 of Maharashtra's 48 seats. In the Sena's first list of candidates released on Friday, sitting MPs Anandrao Adsul (Buldhana), Bhawana Gawli Surve (Yavatmal- Washim), Chandrakant Khaire (Aurangabad), Prataprao Jadhav (Buldhana), Subhashrao Wankhede (Hingoli), Anant Gite (Raigad-Ratnagiri), Shivajirao Adhalrao Patil (Shirur) have been repeated.
Other nominees include Krupal Tumane (Ramtek), MLA Rajan Vichare (Thane) and Gajanan Kirtikar (Mumbai North-west). Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray's confidant Vinayak Raut will take on industries minister Narayan Rane's son and Ratnagiri-Sindhdurg MP Nilesh (Cong).

4 Negros haciendas parcelled out to tenants
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA—Four haciendas in Negros Occidental are now in the hands of 270 sugar farmers following the acquisition and distribution of the landholdings under the agrarian reform program, officials said Friday.
The Department of Agrarian Reform said it has finished installing the farm workers on the four sugar estates involving a total of almost 500 hectares in the cities of Cadiz and Sagay under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).
The new landowners erupted in cheers, some shedding tears of joy, when DAR officials and employees escorted them to the haciendas on Monday and Tuesday to identify their individual farm lots, the DAR said in a news release.
The two-day event turned into a "fiesta" as the farm workers butchered pigs and chickens to celebrate their transformation into land owners, the DAR said.
The biggest landholding was Hacienda Cana-an in Barangay Mabini, Cadiz City, with a total area of 386.85 hectares, of which 352 hectares were parcelled out to the beneficiaries after the segregation of the retention area of the landowner, and the exclusion of roads and eroded portions.
The three other estates, in Sagay City, are Hacienda Vicente, with 26.7 hectares distributed, Hacienda Susan, with 37.7 hectares, and the 50-hectare Hacienda Rosemarie.
Agrarian Reform Assistant Secretary for Field Operations Teofilo Inocencio, who flew from Manila to supervise the installation, credited its success to the close coordination between farmers' organizations and DAR personnel in Negros Occidental.
"We hope this level of cooperation among stakeholders in the agrarian reform program will help fast-track CARP implementation in Negros Occidental and (be) replicated in other parts of the country," Inocencio said.
He explained that installation activities were meant to assist agrarian reform beneficiaries in identifying and occupying their CARP-awarded lands.
The DAR is seeking to distribute all CARP-covered land before President Aquino's term ends in 2016.
As of January, there were still 93,000 landholdings involving 870,000 hectares up for distribution. Of this number, 15,558 landholdings covering a gross area of more than 162,000 hectares have been tagged as "problematic" due to pending cases or technical problems.
An estimated 175,000 hectares of land will be retained by the previous landowners. Under the law, a landowner may retain a maximum five hectares of land.
According to the DAR, the remaining 695,000 hectares will be distributed to agrarian reform beneficiaries as follows: 160,000 hectares (2013); 240,707 hectares (2014); 180,707 hectares (2015); and 112,767 (January to June 2016).

I want to sync my music through usb with Spotify but I dont want to lose all my apps on my iphone. If i sync my iphone to spotify will I lose all my apps? Like I would if I sync my iphone to a new pc. Thanks
"Syncing" in spotify is "little bit" different from syncing your device with iTunes. Syncing with spotify is about tracks, and syncing with iTunes is about everything in your device. Therefore, I am certain that spotify will not wipe your device. I haven't used this function, but there is a feature in ios that enables desktop applications to access the app's files when it is permitted by the app, and I think spotify is using it. I might be wrong, but believe me, it will not wipe your device.

Poetry as Prophecy
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: In good times and bad, San Franciscans are accustomed to hearing from the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. For a half century, he has walked the streets of his beloved North Beach neighborhood and produced volumes of verse about matters mundane and monumental. He was the city's first official poet laureate and his bookstore, City Lights, was recently declared a San Francisco landmark. Though he's known now as a peace activist, he joined the Navy in World War II and became commander of a sub-chaser. He witnessed the devastation of Nagasaki just after the atomic bomb was dropped. Last week at a North Beach theater, Ferlinghetti read his poetry to a sold-out audience. He said art and poetry will be classified from now on as B.S. and A.S.– Before and after September 11. He also spoke of poetry as prophecy.
LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI: Here's another attempt at prophesy before September 11. It's kind of based on the Greek poet, Cavafy.
"Are there not still fireflies
Are there not still four-leaf clovers
Is not our land still beautiful
our fields not full of armed enemies
our cities never bombed
by foreign invaders
never occupied
by iron armies
speaking iron tongues
Are not our warriors still valiant
ready to defend us
Are not our senators
still wearing fine togas
Are we not still a great people
in the greatest country in all the world
Is this not still a free country
Are not our fields still ours
our gardens still full of flowers
our ships with full cargoes
Why then do some still fear
the barbarians coming
coming coming
in their huddled masses
(What is that sound that fills the ear
drumming drumming?)
Is not Rome still Rome
Is not Los Angeles still Los Angeles
Are these not the last days of the Roman Empire
Is not beauty still beauty
And truth still truth
Are there not still poets
Are there not still lovers
Are there not still mothers
sisters and brothers
Is there not still a full moon
once a month
Are there not still fireflies
Are there not still stars at night
Can we not still see them
in bowl of night
signalling to us
our manifest destiny?"

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What does it say about a president's character when his campaign tries to use the tragedy of a woman's death for political gain? What does it say about a president's character when he had his campaign raise money for the ad, then stood by as his top aides were caught lying about it? Doesn't America deserve better than a president who will say or do anything to stay in power?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Roundly criticized as crossing the line. Does the president stand behind that ad? Does he agree with what was in that ad?
AXELROD: I don't think anybody – anybody believes that Mr. Soptic's wife, that Governor Romney can be blamed for the death of Mr. Soptic's wife, and frankly, I don't think the ad says that either.
STEPHANOPOULOS: It suggests.
AXELROD: The irony of all this, the irony of all this, George, is that this ad is running at the very same time that Governor Romney's campaign is running an ad that he paid for – it's not running, by the way, the ad hasn't been on the air – but he's running ads, millions of dollars of ads, saying that the president wants to end the work requirement in welfare. Every single person who's looked at it said it's false. He continues to run it. He says I approve this message, and then he attacks others for ads that we didn't approve and that we didn't produce? I think he's the one who needs to explain—
STEPHANOPOULOS: And I'll ask Tim Pawlenty about that, but does the president think that this kind of an ad was appropriate?
AXELROD: Look, as I said, I don't think Governor Romney can be blamed for that woman's death. What he can be blamed for is taking that steel company to bankruptcy, walking away with millions of dollars and leaving workers without pensions, without the health coverage they were promised. That's a real issue. He has run on his business experience, and his business experience is things like the GST Steel story, where he took – where they loaded the companies with debt, profited from it to the tune of millions of dollars, and then left the workers and creditors holding the bag. That is a relevant issue in this campaign.
STEPHANOPOULOS: We've got Governor Pawlenty coming up. You thought he was going to be Mitt Romney's pick, that he would be the best pick.
AXELROD: Well, you know, I think Governor Pawlenty is a – is an able candidate, and you know, I really didn't think that Governor Romney would go so far to satisfy the most strident voices in his party, that he would pick someone who is so demonstrably a right-wing ideologue, but you know, I was wrong about that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: OK, David Axelrod, thanks a lot for your time this morning.
Let's bring in Governor Tim Pawlenty right now, former governor of Minnesota. Governor Pawlenty, thanks for joining us again this morning.
And you know, so much to talk to you about. I just have to get, though, first your personal reaction. I admire you for keeping your commitment to come on the program. This is kind of the second time around you've been runner-up in these vice presidential stakes. I know you were called by Governor Romney on Monday, but it's got to hurt a little bit, huh?

Bringing back memories of the Windows OS that never was...
Experience Windows93, the OS that never was and never should be. Managing to sit somewhere between nostalgia for 1990s-era Windows (is that a thing?) and an OS from an alternate timeline, Windows93 is... something. Enjoy the CRT graphics, watch the entire ASCII version of Star Wars (mentioned on MeFi in 2000!), play Windows Solitaire, and use a full fledged browser. Also, watch out for viruses and amazing 1990s easter eggs. I don't think there is anything NSFW, but there is so much here, a it is hard to know...

A game that would be at home in an arcade cabinet beside Robotron, FORGET-ME-NOT is a classic-style, that is to say, neon-filled, randomness-laden, bone-hard 2D maze/shooting game, with cute characters and retro effects, inspired by the Commodore game Crossroads II, Nethack and Pac-Man CE. Collect all the FLOWERS in each random, single-screen level to make the EXIT appear. Then, get the KEY and take it there to move to the next level.
The only controls are the arrow keys (or screen swipes in the iOS version). Face down a large variety of randomly-generated enemy types, and get as far as you can! You automatically shoot in front of you, but beware: your shots can wrap-around, and if they hit you they hurt! They key to playing well is grinding: push into a wall as you sail past it to build up a charge. Charge up enough and you start glowing; while glowing, you instantly kill any enemies you touch, but if you charge to much you blow up.

David Bradley, IBM engineer, and father of the three-finger salute
David Bradley is an engineer, one of the 12 strategists who worked around the clock to hammer out a plan for hardware, software, manufacturing setup and sales strategy for the first IBM PC from 1980-1981. At that time, Bradley and others were tired of wasting time rebooting the system without powering it down. So, one day he had something like "write keyboard shortcut to reboot system" on list of things to do, and Control-Alt-Delete was created. Years later, he said "I may have invented it, but I think Bill made it famous." (YouTube) [more inside]

The best free games from across the web
For about three years, the A.V. Club ran Sawbuck Gamer, a regular column reviewing the week's most notable free and cheap games across all platforms, from web games to handhelds to console downloadables. It's a treasure trove of content, especially since more literary sister site The Gameological Society took the helm, and it's publicized great desktop projects like the luscious platformer Frogatto (previously), feature-rich Super Mario Bros. X (previously), the evocative faux-web Digital: A Love Story (previously), interactive fiction gem Rover's Day Off, and the hyperkinetic RunMan: Race Around the World (previously).

Skinning: Computer Interface Customization
Many people are familiar with computer case modifications, thanks to the photogenic nature of mods. On the software side, most operating systems feature some potential for customization, though this is often limited to tweaking the colors and sounds. For some, this isn't enough. Enter "skinning," the casual term for interface customization. To a degree, the history of the media player Winamp (YT, 7:03; transcript with pictures) mirrors the history of skinning. From a version 0.2, a visually dull app in June 1997, to easy user customization in version 2 in September 1998, and the complexly customizable Winamp3 in August 2002. Wired captured something of the excitement at its peak in an article from 2000, before computing began shifting to more closed devices. Now approaching a post-WIMP (windows, icons, menus and a pointer) era, where skinning is done with alternative launchers. But for those still using traditional computers of one sort or another, it's not too late to modify your interface. [more inside]

The Post That Cannot Possibly Go Wrong
Halfway through the third book of the Hitchhiker's Guide series, there is a throwaway reference to a doomed starship, one whose incredible splendor was matched only by the cosmic absurdity of its maiden-day annihilation. But the story didn't end there. Unbeknownst to many fans, this small piece of Adamsian lore was the inspiration for an ambitious and richly-detailed side-story: a 1998 computer adventure game called Starship Titanic. Designed by Douglas Adams himself, the game set players loose in the infamous vessel, challenging them with a maddening mystery laced with the devilish wit of the novels. The game was laden with extra content, including an in-depth strategy guide, a (mediocre) tie-in novel by Terry Jones, a whimsical First Class In-Flight Magazine, and even a pair of 3D glasses for one of the more inventive puzzles. Key to solving these puzzles was the game's groundbreaking communications system -- players interacted with the ship's robotic crew through a natural language parsing engine called SpookiTalk, whose 10,000+ lines of conversational dialogue spawned 16 hours of audio recorded by professional voice actors, including John Cleese, Terry Jones, and even Douglas Adams himself in several cameos (spoiler cameo).
