Installing distros on USB sticks with Unetbootin
All told, Unetbootin is not just a convenient piece of software but a pretty mature one, too. However, nothing is perfect. For example, you still might not be able to install certain distributions. As a case in point, in our lab, we had trouble installing the SliTaz operating system, although Puppy Linux, Elive, and a KDE 4 Live version based on openSUSE worked fine. If the automated installation does not work, you can always try downloading the image manually from the web page and following the steps for the manual install.

Allan Kaprow waved the banner of an art "that didn't look like art" with his installations, assemblages, and happenings. Other teachers followed: Roy Lichtenstein, whose Pop paintings were born in New Jersey; Robert Watts, with his samizdat postage stamps; George Segal, of plaster-cast fame; George Brecht, a mathematician whose art was based on chance; and Geoffrey Hendricks, who still teaches at the university. Students included Robert Whitman, who made film installations decades before the genre became ubiquitous, and a talented youngster named Lucas Samaras. Smearing the boundaries between art and life, they used everyday objects as materials, orchestrated "events" on streets and chicken farms, and mimicked mail-order catalogues.
Their art, designed for the here and now, can seem mummified within the museum. Still, picking among the remains of their utopian energy is fascinating. Early works by Samarasassemblages incorporating pins and razor bladessuggest a rare emotional intensity. Lichtenstein's first Mickey seems painted yesterday. And then there's Whitman's Shower a film of a bathing beauty projected in a real-life shower stall behind running water, washing off the sludge of tradition in the baptism of a new artistic practice.

JEFFERSONPARISH, La. -- A powerful and illegal designer drug, tied to dozens of deaths in the northeast has made its way to the New Orleans area.
Last month, a family member found the bodies of Anthony Junda and Jessica Lange in a home on Manderin Street in Metairie. The Jefferson Parish Coroner's office determined they both overdosed on a synthetic heroin-type drug called acetyl fentanyl.
Coroner Dr. Gerry Cvitanovich says there have been five deaths in the parish, traced to acetyl fentanyl, so far this year.
'It is many times more potent than heroin, depending on how many times it's cut, how many times the heroin is cut,' Citanovich said. 'Depending on who you ask, it's anywhere from five to 100 times more potent than heroin.'
Dr. Cvitanovich says we could now be seeing a cluster of overdoses tied to the designer drug.
'That is my fear, and we've actually gone and reported this to the state DHH, the CDC and the DEA to let them know we've had five deaths in Jefferson Parish, so they can check if we've had others in the state.'
Acetyl fentanyl is believed to have caused 50 deaths in Pennsylvania this year along with 15 in Rhode Island.
Dr. Cvitanovich says the extent of the problem is tough to gauge here in Louisiana. 'We don't know how much of an epidemic it is because a lot of municipalities are not testing fully for it.'
Dr. Cvitanovich says heroin deaths are on the rise in Jefferson Parish.
There were 89 deaths reported in 2011, 97 last year and 101 so far this year.

Sixteen teams begin the quest for the Stanley Cup this season, but only one will be able to put its name on hockey's most illustrious trophy. How would we value the rankings for the Stanley Cup odds this year? Check out our power rankings for the teams that are left standing in the dance…
1: Washington Capitals (+580): We know that Vancouver had the best team in the regular season all year long, but we just feel as though Washington's road to the Stanley Cup might be a bit easier. This first task against the Rangers will be tough, but if the offense can survive the stout New York defense, the coast may be relatively clear, especially if Sidney Crosby never comes back for the Penguins.
2: Vancouver Canucks (+325): The Canucks were, without a doubt, the best team in the regular season this year. However, come playoff time, this team has had a history of choking, and save for the Olympics, Roberto Luongo has never been able to win the big time game when he needed it most. Still, in terms of talent, Vancouver is second to none, and it should be considered the most likely team to get out of the West.
3: Boston Bruins (+975): Goaltending wins championships. If that's the case, the Bruins are going to be the team to beat. Tim Thomas should win the Vezina Trophy this season, as he put up the best year in terms of save percentage that a net minder has ever seen. Boston has a great draw with Montreal in Round 1, and it really might only have Washington standing in its way when push comes to shove to get to the Cup.
4: San Jose Sharks (+750): If there was to be a year that the Sharks made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals, this would be it. The team got over its playoff bugaboo last year when it made it to the Western Conference Finals, and now, it has a Stanley Cup winning goaltender in the pipes in Antti Niemi. No one has an easier first round draw than do the Sharks.
5: Detroit Red Wings (+1000): Jimmy Howard is going to be the key here for the Red Wings. There isn't a team that has more playoff experience or more years in the league than Detroit, and it's going to be hard to beat this team when push comes to shove. However, Howard is a relatively inexperienced goalie, and he hasn't really seen the big time yet with a deep Cup run. This could be Detroit's demise this season.
6: Pittsburgh Penguins (+1100): This is purely speculative. If Sidney Crosby comes back into the fold at some point, the Pens are in great shape. However, if he never gets back on the ice, it's going to be really hard to find stars to shine, especially against a Tampa Bay team that is just chock full of them.
7: Tampa Bay Lightning (+1800): The Bolts had a great year under first year Head Coach Guy Boucher, as they are definitely a tougher team now than they have been in years past. Dwayne Roloson knows what it's like to come in off the streets and take a new team to the verge of the Stanley Cup, as he did so with the Edmonton Oilers several seasons ago. He's got a much better team around him now in Tampa Bay than he did then, and if he comes up big, the Lightning could be legit Cup contenders.
8: Philadelphia Flyers (+840): We're just not feeling the Flyers this year. They really didn't play well down the stretch, and they coughed up a huge lead for the No. 1 seed. Now, they have a really tough battle against Buffalo in Round 1, and goodness knows how difficult the battles will be after that. Philly isn't sneaking up on anyone this year, which is going to be a big time problem for a team that doesn't have great goaltending.
9: Buffalo Sabres (+2600): The truth of the matter is that we're not all that sure that Buffalo doesn't have the better team than does Philly. The Sabres are legit for sure, and Ryan Miller has proven that he can put a team on his back in the past. Will it be enough to knock off the Eastern Conference champs? Only time will tell. However, it's not like we didn't see a No. 7 seed make it to the Stanley Cup Finals last year…
10: Nashville Predators (+3200): This really seems like very little respect for a Nashville team that has some great goaltending. The problem for the Preds is that the offense was absolutely anemic this season. Unless Mike Fisher steps up and starts to produce, seemingly every game will have to be won 2-1 or 1-0.
11: New York Rangers (+3400): Speaking of great goaltending… Here are the Rangers! New York's Henrik Lundqvist led the league with 11 shutouts this season, and he will almost certainly be the runner up for the Vezina Trophy. Still, the Rangers probably don't quite have the goods to get past Washington in Round 1.
12: Anaheim Ducks (+2450): The Ducks have absolutely no steady goaltending options, and we wouldn't be surprised if we see all three of Dan Ellis, Ray Emery, and Jonas Hiller early in these playoffs if all three end up healthy enough to play. Anaheim has the hot hand though, and it also has the only 50 goal scorer in the league in Corey Perry.
13: Chicago Blackhawks (+2500): We're just not buying into the Blackhawks in these playoffs. This first series against Vancouver is going to be very, very tough, and even if it gets past there, Chicago really hasn't played all that well against some of the best and brightest out of the Western Conference this season.
14: Montreal Canadiens (+3100): Sorry, Montreal. Last season, the Habs snuck up on virtually every team that they ran up against, but their luck finally ran out in the Eastern Conference Finals. This year, things won't go as well unless all of a sudden Tomas Plekanec and company start scoring a heck of a lot of goals.
15: Phoenix Coyotes (+3700): We really want to like this Phoenix team, but we just can't bring ourselves to do it. The team was bitten by the Red Wings in seven games last season, with the closeout game coming in the desert. Now, the Yotes have to win at least once, and maybe twice in Motown AND hold serve at home? It's just not likely.
16: Los Angeles Kings (+3200): The Kings are the one bunch that we definitely want no part of. Without Anze Kopitar, and considering the fact that Dustin Penner really just never panned out for LA, there's just no way that it is going to be able to get out of the first round, let alone four rounds in a span of just a couple of months.

Capone-N-Norega ft. The Lox - Bodega Stories
Artist: Capone-n-Noreaga
Featuring: D-Block
Producer: Scram Jones
Album: The War Report 2
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 7 votes )
With The War Report 2, will Capone-N-Noreaga be able to recapture the feel of their '97 debut? And if they do succeed, will today's heads take notice? The mixed reader reviews on lead single The Reserves seem to indicate that the jury's still out. Fortunately, they have a plan in place to cut through the apathy: first, order sandwiches. Second (and more importantly), team up with fellow East Coast icons D-Block/The LOX to regale us with a few gritty Bodega Stories. Over beatsmith Scram Jones' stripped-down, piano-loop boardwork, Capone, N.O.R.E., Jada, Styles and Sheek spin stylized tales of the street life, topping it all off with a little rock-solid advice: "When you get arrested, when they ask you to speak without a lawyer, you neglect it." CNN may not be reinventing the wheel, but fans of retro-informed hood music shouldn't be disappointed. Has this track left you craving more hard-nosed rhymes and throwback beats? If the answer's "Yes," you can find plenty more where this came from on War Report 2, due out on July 13 via Thugged Out Ent./Fontana/Universal.

Ryan Leslie ft. Pusha T (of The Clipse) - Something That I Like
Artist: Ryan Leslie
Featuring: Pusha T
Producer: Ryan Leslie
Album: Untitled Sophomore Album
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 31 votes )
My immediate reaction to the title and guest feature of Ryan Leslie's new buzz record: "Huh. I guess Addiction wasn't just a catchy song concept." Surprisingly, the 'something' in Something That I Like refers not to Pusha T's infamously potent nose candy, but to the equally intoxicating charms of a certain female (okay, I was probably the only person surprised by that). Over his own ear-pleasing blend of chopped synth-strings and harpsichord, the NextSelection head honcho pays sung and rapped tribute to a chick so perfect he has to pinch himself to make sure he's not dreaming. The Clipse's Pusha T jumps on board to echo the emcee/singer/songwriter's sentiments on the back end, and his more laconic brand of braggadocio proves a perfect counterpoint to Leslie's starstruck bars. As the first glimpse of Leslie's yet-untitled sophomore album (due out this fall), STIL bodes very well—to my ears, it's easily official-single material. Does R-Lez have something even more appealing up his sleeve? I certainly hope so, but we'll have to wait and see.

Barefooted Performer Pat Green Likens Playing On Stage To Working In His Den
- Last week Linda from Still Is Still Moving had her blog name checked by Willie Nelson on Bill Mack's XM Radio show. The excitement doesn't stop there, she called in this week and actually got to talk to Willie!
Linda: Hello, Willie, this is Linda, from Colorado. I'm the person who has the stillisstillmoving.com website.
Willie: Oh, my goodness I am sure glad to talk to you. I have been checking the still is still moving.com, I been checking it every day. Thank you for all, you know, you're pretty much on top of everything.
Earlier in the week Linda had emailed someone asking if she could get a press pass to one of Willie's shows, unfortunately they had to decline. But, to show that he had been reading, Willie said he wanted to make sure she got to the show. Read the transcript on Still Is Still Moving.
- Linda isn't the only one with some exciting news these days, Kevin scored a telephone interview with Pam Tillis that he transcribed on Country Universe.
- Despite being on the Flip Flop Summer Tour with Kenny Chesney, Pat Green still hits the stage sans shoes. Green says, "It's just more comfortable to me."
- And the hype for the new Bon Jovi "country" album begins. Listeners can expect an album along the lines of Sugarland, Big & Rich, and Keith Urban. According to the article on USA Today, the band wrote some songs with more of a traditional country sound, but decided against releasing those because they didn't want to seem like they were pandering to an audience. The album won't be too much different from what Bon Jovi has been doing for their entire careers. Guitarist Richie Sambora on some of the differences:
The title track, for instance, sports subtle touches of fiddle and pedal steel, as might be heard on an Urban record, while Whole Lot of Leavin' begins with an acoustic guitar pattern and that steady four-on-the-floor rhythm that Waylon Jennings used to favor. But those are minor variations.
- Joining Jewel during her free three-hour acoustic show a couple of nights ago were John Rich and Kix Brooks. Apparently there was also "hilarious stories about Crisco and armpit sweat," but we don't get any details in the article.
- How does Dollywood strike you? The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is seeking opinions on what you thought of the theme park if you've been, and whether you would go if you haven't ever been.
You're never more than a few steps, or a few minutes, from live country, bluegrass, gospel and pop, on a half-dozen stages more than 40 times a day.
It sounds like it could be quite appealing. All the praise in the comment section doesn't hurt, either.
- John Goodspeed delivers this gem from the mouth of Marty Stuart:
"The thing I took away from Cash was about being absolutely fearless creatively, about taking your eye off any kind of box office or chart numbers," Stuart said. "It's about what fills up your heart, do it, have fun doing it, be serious about it and it's going to find an audience and its mark."
- In her review of some Dolly Parton reissues, Margaret Moser from The Austin Chronicle writes "under the cake-frosting hair and gobs of make-up, Dolly Parton's as real as they come." Coat of Many Colors received three stars, My Tennessee Mountain Home took two stars, and Jolene got three and a half.
- Little Dog Records sent out an email informing the F.O.L.D (Friends of Little Dog) that the new Moot Davis album will be released in August under the name of Already Moved On. This one should be pretty exciting.

Yeah, how cool was that, Brody! I'm still flying high. I've tried to get through to Bill Mack's show to talk to Willie in the past, with no luck. Yesterday was my lucky day! I feel a little embarrassed that Willie has read all my complaining about not having my drawn to win a ticket to the Choteau, MT show, and then that goofy letter to the promotors trying to score a ticket. But hey, when Willie said to e-mail him, I don't feel so bad now! I can't believe it.
I'm so glad I took that week off, even though there was no Texas picnic planned, and I hadn't really planned on going to the George, Washington show. But now, with that sweet invitation, I am bound for Choteau and George, Washington. I don't know how I am going to get there, but I am there.
Wasn't I bold to ask if I could meet him? But hey, it never hurts to ask. I'm excited!
So, I guess the moral of the story is, the next time someone tells you to stop wasting time on your blog, just think of me and all the good things that came out of the hours I sit in front of my computer!
Thanks, Brody, for sharing my excitement, and letting me gush…..

Rikers Island Lawsuits Over Diabetic Care

None of the rappers was among the 1166 celebrities, politicians, and other people arrested during 15 days of protests last year over the police slaying of Amadou Diallo. Four white undercover cops looking for a rapist gunned down the unarmed street vendor outside his Bronx apartment in a barrage of 41 bullets. Among those arrested during the demonstrations outside police headquarters were civil rights leaders Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, former mayor David Dinkins, NAACP president Kweisi Mfume, and actors Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, and Susan Sarandon.
While Muhammad is pursuing "the big-money niggas" and "modern-day minstrel men" he believes are hiding behind their "hectic schedules" and "pit-bull agents," other activists are conducting roll calls to ferret out those rappers more inclined to "woofin' and shadowboxing" than to throwing down in a street fight for justice.
"You have people like Jay-Z and Master P and others who are very outspoken on a number of other issues but hear nothing from them on police brutality," charges Muhammad. "Puff Daddy is literally the toast of New York high society, but when he has the ear of these people, does he raise the issue pertinent to his people?" The "Movement," some say, is "mad upset" with the "Hip Hop Nation." (An article in the August issue of Vibe magazine, "Bring the Noise," cranks up the boom box on "Hip Hop's quiet riot.")
"I didn't realize alla this was going on because . . . my schedule being what it is, I don't even have the time or the luxury to watch TV or tune in," says New Jersey-based rapper Rah Digga about the anti-police-brutality protests sweeping the nation. "But I do know this [police brutality] is a crisis. . . . I just haven't physically been able to be a part of [the demonstrations]," adds the entertainer, who projects a "Harriet Thugman" image when she wants to be taken seriously. "I'm there in spirit. I'm there in essence. My role in this industry right now is delivering music and delivering words, and that is just as powerful as my physical body being placed in any sort of physical danger."
Rah's response to the "crisis" is typical of scores of rap artists who can't find the time to participate in civil disobedience protests around an issue they constantly rant against. Some ghetto griotsMos Def, Talib Kweli, Kool G Rap, Sporty Thievz, Commonare trying to repair the breach with the activists by issuing Hip Hop for Respect, a CD of songs critical of abusive cops. In May, they dedicated the CD to Amadou Diallo, presenting it to his parents, Kadiatou and Saikou, during a ceremony at Sharpton's House of Justice in Harlem. Wyclef Jean of the Fugees also has written a song called "Diallo." Errant rappers will get the chance to join the Movement by participating in an August 26 march in Washington, D.C., to call for economic justice and an end to racial profiling and police brutality.
But just how the activists intend to corral the rappers has caused some Movement infighting. When one teen organizer of last year's civil disobedience protests at One Police Plaza contended during a strategy meeting in Harlem recently that the notion of rappers getting arrested and going to jail to protest police misconduct would be the ultimate political statement, a colleague shouted him down.
"They don't have to get arrested!" he pointed out. "They can come forward and show supportand not from behind police barricades."
Another organizer noted that rappers like Puffy and Jay-Zunder indictment in separate high-profile incidentsavoid getting involved in civil disobedience protests because of their criminal history.
"Bullshit!" snapped another activist. "A criminal record is a badge of honor for them. You are not considered a legitimate rap artist until you trade war stories about your incarceration for hanging around with drug dealers and other armed criminals who entice you to participate in crime. It's part of the rap persona. You give a high five or the middle finger before your hands are wrenched behind your back by some cracker cop and you're led off to jail. It's almost like a Mafia rite of passage; you feel like you took a hit for your Gs. When you come out, you're a made man. It's the gangsta life, son."
Other activists are demanding that the rappers be punished for betraying the modern civil rights movement. One ideologue suggests painting caricatures of targeted rappers next to their larger-than-life photographs that adorn billboards in black neighborhoods. But not everyone wants to participate in what some fear would give rise to hip hop McCarthyism.

Ferenc Vegh and Lisa Davis can't wait until Nov. 24.
That's the day they find out whether or not they will get the go-ahead to start plans to build a winery to go with the vineyard they established last year.
A special local-option election will be held Nov. 24 for the Southville Voting Precinct (B-101), which will allow voters to decide if they would like for the Vegh-Davis Vineyard, located at 5916 Hempridge Road, to be allowed to operate as a winery.
Charlie Metzger was in the middle of detailing how the adoption center works at Metzger's Country Store in Simpsonville when an employee walked in holding a gorgeous, gray-and-white Himilayan.
The cat had been left at the store in its carrier with a note attached requesting Metzger's to care for it.
"It doesn't happen too often, but it happens more than it should," Metzger said.
The cat would have to be taken to the county's animal shelter for a period before it could come back to Metzger's, if the center has space.

I endured one of those terrible traumas recently that I had hoped never would occur in my lifetime and pray never happens to you.
On Thursday night, I had to be in my car for about an hour in the late evening. It was a quiet night, not much traffic. No rainfall, even if the sky wasn't clear.
And then it happened, as if the fates had reached out and grabbed me by the shirt and dragged me into a new vortex of reality.
I turned on my radio to listen to a bit of the World Series, and it wasn't there!
Finchville resident and moviemaker Jefferson Moore has noticed that Christmas is becoming more censored each year.
"We're seeing Christmas slip each year. PC [politically correct] police are more ridiculous every year," he said, referring to those who determine when and how others are allowed decorate, or even whether they're able to say "Merry Christmas."

No one looks good in Rick Pitino extortion trial
The first thing to remember about the trial unfolding this week in Louisville is that Rick Pitino is a witness, not a defendant.
The next thing to remember is that Pitino is no saint, either.
Oh, sure, he looks like one on the University of Louisville website, where he was pictured in action earlier this month shaking hands with soldiers returning from Iraq. The troops seemed awfully impressed that Pitino would take a break from sitting in a gym watching potential recruits to welcome them home.
"Coach Pitino is an awesome person for taking time out of his busy schedule to talk and shake hands with our returning soldiers," Capt. Nathan Leppert, a Louisville graduate, was quoted as saying. "I am proud of his caring and patriotism and that he represents my university and the city of Louisville."
Pitino will be doing that representing this week on the witness stand in the extortion trial of a woman who claims he raped her. Whether jurors are as impressed with him as the soldiers were may go a long way toward deciding Karen Sypher's fate.
She may end up going to jail. But he's not going to get off all that easy, either.
What Pitino did one night seven years ago in a Louisville restaurant may not have been rape, as Sypher claims. But if nothing else it was a despicable way for a married father of five to act.
Having sex in a restaurant with a woman who isn't your wife while one of your go-fers makes sure no one interrupts isn't what community leaders are supposed to do. And it doesn't show the kind of moral values that parents of 18-year-olds heading off to college want their sons to adopt.
Great coach, perhaps. Great man, no way.
Sypher is hardly a sympathetic figure herself. She brings plenty of baggage into the courtroom, including the prosecution's claim in opening arguments that she performed a sexual favor for a friend the day before the friend called Pitino and threatened to expose him.
The fact that those calls were made six years after the encounter at Porcini's restaurant in Louisville also does nothing to bolster her claim - which both Pitino and the government deny - that the sex was not consensual.
Indeed, a prosecutor told jurors on Monday that they couldn't believe a word Sypher says about anything.
Still, it didn't take long for Sypher's attorney to portray Pitino as a man who wielded so much power in Louisville that he thought he was above the law. And there could be some very uncomfortable moments ahead for Pitino as the trial plays out and he undergoes cross-examination on the witness stand about sordid details of the night in 2003.
He will also surely be asked about the $3,000 he gave Sypher shortly after the encounter, which she claims was for an abortion. And there will be questions about the $10,000 an FBI agent said Pitino funneled from his bonus for winning the Big East tournament to buy her son a car.

Accuser Questioned
Reno, NV - The woman suing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for alleged sexual assault has been accused of bragging about having consensual sex with him to a co-worker.
According to court documents filed late Friday, Angela Antonetti said the woman who made the rape claim ``did not appear to be upset, stressed-out or nervous'' about her time with the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback during a 2008 celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe.

23 September 2013 00:00 [Source: ICB]
China's Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical is expected to mothball its 150,000 tonne/year naphtha cracker in Jinshan, possibly within this year, despite delays in building a much larger cracker as a replacement, a source close to the company said.
"It is not economical to run such a small cracker," said the source.
The 150,000 tonne/year cracker was initially expected to make way for a larger 800,000 tonne/year cracker at the same site, however, the project has been delayed, he said.
The new cracker was earlier expected to come on stream by the end of 2014 to early 2015, but this is unlikely to happen and the start-up could possibly be delayed to 2016 at the earliest, the source said.
Another source close to the company said it was not clear if the project to build the 800,000 tonne/year cracker will even go ahead as planned.
Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical also operates a larger 700,000 tonne/year naphtha cracker in Jinshan.

The BJP has predicted that the southern States will add at least 55 seats to the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) kitty in the ensuing general elections.
"While the NDA and the UPA bagged 18 and 85 seats respectively from the south in 2009, it will be 55 plus and 15 this time," the party's national spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said at a media conference here on Sunday.
The UPA would not get a double digit figure in any of the southern States. In sharp contrast, he saw a sizeable number of seats going the way of the regional parties, which hold sway this time.
"We will get 20 seats on our own in Karnataka and we have good alliance partners in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, which will help improve our vote share. In fact, we will open our account in Kerala this time", Mr. Javadekar said.
Corruption and inefficiency remained the hallmark of the UPA's two regimes.
India suffered on various fronts due to a weak Prime Minister at the helm, he said, citing the book by his former media advisor Sanjaya Baru.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Global equity markets rose on Tuesday, proving that bullish investors aren't giving up the rally without a fight.
On Tuesday, I wrote that global equities could begin a downtrend in the coming weeks because of weak economic data and slow earnings growth. The bearish thesis looks to be on hold for now as equity indexes pared losses from the day before on strong retail numbers.
Early Tuesday, news came out that core retail sales, which exclude auto sales, for December beat estimates. That showed that consumer demand remained strong through the last quarter of 2013. The continuation of this trend into 2014 could lead to U.S. gross domestic product growth of 3%-4% for the first quarter. That would be bullish for stocks and take off some of the pressure that last week's labor numbers had put on the economy.
Underlying technical factors also led to Tuesday's move higher. The iPath S&P 500 VIX ST Futures ETN (VXX) is still at dormant levels that indicate true equity market fear is almost nonexistent. The volatility indicator rose 9% during Monday's selloff and declined 8% the following day, meaning that any anxiety introduced into the markets is quickly extinguished.The VIX should continue to trade at low levels for three reasons. The first is that the Federal Reserve remains committed to a short-term 0% interest rate, even as the economy improves. Although stimulus is slowing being removed, the Fed aims to replace it with transparent guidance of its future action. The next factor is U.S. corporate strength. Companies are hoarding trillions of dollars in cash that await productive usage. That buffer gives companies the freedom to invest and grow, and provides some safety in case of another economic downturn. Companies have also become more efficient, able to produce strong profits on weak revenue.

Seven days into the Bihar hostage crisis, Naxals have agreed to release the three policemen they are holding captive in the Lakhisarai forests, even as they spurned the Nitish Kumar government's offer of face-to-face talks with them.
According to reports, Avinash, a self-proclaimed spokesperson for the Naxals, told local news channels on Saturday that they planned to release sub-inspectors Rupesh Kumar and Abhay Yadav, and Bihar Military Police havildar Ehsan Khan by Sunday morning.
While alleging that the government was not taking the rebels seriously, Avinash said the Naxals, after holding a meeting at night, were now charting a course to release the hostages.
But the police attribute the Naxals' reversal of stand to the arrest earlier in the day of two Naxalites — Pintooda, an area commander, and Bahadur Yadav — both of whom had participated in the abduction of the four policemen on August 29. One of the hostages was killed on Thursday night.
Also, the police are treading cautiously as the veracity of Avinash's claims has often proved suspect during the crisis.
"We have just received this information via the media that the rebels were planning to release the captives and hand them over to their relatives … but then again the relatives have to be present there. So, let us wait and see," Additional Director-General Police (Headquarters) P.K. Thakur told The Hindu.
In the evening, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, at an all-party meeting here, said the government "was ready to conduct talks with the rebels, regardless of any mediator chosen by them." In all, representatives from eight parties were present at the meeting. Mr. Kumar said he "welcomed any mediator — independent or chosen by the Naxals — to come forward and conduct talks with the rebels."
The Chief Minister guaranteed the safety of the mediator in the event of his being a Naxal, stating the person need not have any fear from the police or the law during the talks.
He, however, discouraged the Naxals from communicating through the media, stating the veracity of the claims made by Avinash had often proved too contradictory to be given serious thought.
On the arrests of the two Naxals from the Gurmaha jungle in Jamui district, Mr. Thakur said both men, who had been under surveillance, provided the police vital information on the hostages.
"This sudden offer for the release of the hostages proves that the Naxals are beginning to feel the pinch ... especially now that we know a lot of details after the arrest of these two men," Mr. Thakur said.
Earlier, in telephonic statements to a section of the local media, Avinash insisted that the government give the Naxals "definite assurances of security," while saying they "would decide on the fate of the hostages after a meeting to be held at 9 p.m. on Saturday."
Avinash further committed himself to the rebels providing an audio CD containing the voices of the three hostages as proof of their well-being, while stating his earlier proclamation on the killing of sub-inspector Abhay Yadav was made to evoke fear in the minds of those handling the crisis. However, the rebels have not yet played or provided any such CD.
Meanwhile, police operations are on and the combing area has been further stretched to include Banka and Kaimur districts and the hilly areas of the Belhar range.
Sources said the Centre had dispatched more than 400 additional security personnel and two choppers to Lakhisarai to assist in the anti-Naxal operations along the Bihar-Jharkhand border.

Expanding Our Reach with Community Engineering Corps
The Community Engineering Corps (CE Corps) is a groundbreaking alliance between three premier engineering organizations: Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA). The CE Corps harnesses the expertise of thousands of volunteers by providing pro bono engineering services that address the infrastructure needs of underserved communities in the United States.
"The Spirit Lake community has many needs, and few resources available to meet those needs. By partnering with the CE Corps, we now have the knowledge and resources to make our dreams a reality." - Frank Black Cloud
The CE Corps works collaboratively with communities to design solutions to problems that the community has identified. The CE Corps only partners with communities that do not have the financial resources to access engineering resources in a traditional manner.
Example projects that the CE Corps work on include providing a model sanitation solution to isolated homes in a tribal community or assisting a community where a public building is flooded on a regular basis. Read full project stories >>
Find out more about the Community Engineering Corps >>
How does a community apply to start a project?
Does your community need engineering assistance? CE Corps partners with communities to design sustainable solutions to infrastructure problems that will help your community thrive. The application must come from a community group or a nonprofit organization that represents a community.
Learn more about applying to start a project >>
Volunteer Opportunities
Use your engineering skills to make a difference! There are opportunities for members of EWB-USA chapters or ASCE or AWWA sections to volunteer their time and expertise to help communities that have requested the assistance of the CE Corps.

I want to have my own rehabilitation sanctuary for big cats - lions, leopards, tigers... I want to run the sanctuary from a conservation point of view. I want to raise abandoned cubs by hand and release them back into the wild. Having a lion cub or leopard cub (or several) to care for is my ultimate dream. Maybe I will even start my own breeding program for rare cat species to supplement wild populations to bring them back from near-extinction.
But that is just me

Do you ever start thinking like, When I grow up and be a teacher I'll do such-and-such, or with whatever you'll grow up to be even though you have no plans to do that ever? That happens to me sooo often. Kinda weird, oh well!
When I was younger, while wanting to be a fashion designer, I wanted to be a pirate (as I would always protest to my sister, there ARE girl pirates!), or a garbage man. I'm still kind of jealous of the person who gets to go through trash and ride on the back of a truck at 3 am.
I'm feeling kind of guilty because my mom is a dentist (part-time) and my dad is a doctor and my brother is going to medical school next year and my other brother is going to college to become a doctor, and my sister is planning on being a teacher. So, with all of those jobs, costume designing seems like a selfish dream... :/ But it's my dream!
Someone help me!

My practical dream (at the moment, it's subject to change, of course) is to be a psychologist. I like the idea of helping people feel better, and I love learning about the brain... and let's face it, it's not a bad pay.
Posted 18 May 2012 - 09:47 AM ( #20 )
To be honest, I don't have a specific job in mind...there are some things I'd like to pursue as hobbies, maybe eventually work in those fields. I've thought about getting into photography more and going to an art university, or developing my writing and getting a degree in that. I even thought about getting a degree in those, and then going to work in a dog daycare or something, or going off to (try to) get a record label. (Hey, I can dream.)
I guess I've narrowed it down to these:
-anything with dogs
I think I'd really like to work with dogs in general, which makes people assume automatically, "Oh, so you want to be a vet." But being a vet and working with animals isn't the only thing out there, as some of you have demonstrated. I admit I'm a bit squeamish (and I tend to panic during emergencies) so I wouldn't be that great of a vet, although some people say I have the capacity to become one.
Anyway, my point is, my dream job isn't anything specifically. I have several "dream jobs". Really, I like to keep my mind open and say I'd like to work in a certain field, rather than in a certain position. But my ultimate dream, no matter what I do, how much I earn, is (someone last year taught me this) to be happy. Even if I'm working in the most horrible job ever, or I'm a writer-photographer-whatever with dogs, I want to be happy with my life, my family, and all the people around me.

Nice start, and welcome to the site. I'll parrot my painting professor and say: When painting, try to avoid using colors that are too tinted with white; try to express light with hue rather than tinting and shading alone. Doing master's studies has helped me a lot with that tendency.

Report: Bears meet with McCoy
A person familiar with the situation says the Chicago Bears are meeting with Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy in Denver to discuss their coaching vacancy.
COACHING CANDIDATESSee who the hottest names are as teams hunt for new head coaches.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Sunday because of the confidential nature of the search.
The Philadelphia Eagles also took their coaching search to Denver on Sunday to meet with McCoy.
The Bears are in the market for a coach after they fired Lovie Smith following a 10-win season in which they missed the playoffs for the fifth time in six years.
The Broncos allotted time for teams to meet with McCoy in Denver this weekend. He is also linked to openings with Arizona and Philadelphia.

Focus shifts to Wood as Norby drops out of supervisor race
San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond has been flirting with a run, but when push comes to shove (and then comes to eye-gouging with last-minute mailers), the veteran commercial pilot doesn't appear to be ready to come down from the friendly skies to face off against a well-financed (and famously vindictive) incumbent with strong ties to the same developer donor base that pro-business Republican Desmond would need to tap.
If Horn wins a sixth term, he'll have to step down in 2018 because of term limits. That could be Desmond's time to take off as a regional politician (with Horn's blessing).
The other potential candidate is Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood, a moderate Republican (often dissed as a RINO in local GOP circles) whose support from public safety unions and neighborhood activists has made him a vote magnet in O'side but who, outside of the city walls, is best known for having his power stripped from him by a conservative council majority. About the only effective noise coming from Wood these days is from his gavel. The rest sounds like whining "woe is me."
In a phone message, Wood confirmed he's "interested" in a run against Horn but has not yet committed. But according to a souce close to Wood, he's "sick of being mayor in name only" and the campaign is taking shape. "He's in it to win it," the confidant tells me.
Well, we'll see. The proof will be the hiring of a credible consultant and a full-bore fundraising drive.
If Wood is going to silence Horn, he'd have to turn out the full spectrum of union support, from police to teachers to hotel workers. He'd have to pump up his weak name ID outside of Oceanside. He'd have to raise a ton of money and pretty much say goodbye to his family for a year, the price Norby was unwilling to pay.
Wood vs. Horn.
Pun-loving headline writers would have a field day.

Resolution: standard / high
Figure 6.
Repeated high frequency stimulation is required for synaptic depression in the PnC. A: Stimulation of PnC giant neurons with 100 single, double, or triple pulses with 4 ms ISI applied at 1 Hz to auditory fibers in rat brain slices. All cEPSC amplitudes were normalized to the first evoked cEPSC of each cell; error bars indicate standard error between cells. Inlays: Typical EPSC traces evoked by the specified stimulus. Top: Stimulation with 100 single pulses did not induce synaptic depression. The means of the first ten and last ten responses were not significantly different. Middle: Stimulation with 100 double pulses also failed to reduce cEPSC amplitudes. Bottom: Stimulation with 100 triple pulses induced an initial small potentiation followed by a weak decay of synaptic responses to about 93 ± 3 % of the initial amplitude. The means of the first ten and last ten averaged EPSCs were significantly different. B: Maximum cEPSC amplitudes in PnC giant neurons evoked by 100 bursts applied presynaptically at 1 Hz (n = 37) and 0.1 Hz (n = 10) to auditory fibers. Error bars indicate standard error between cells. All cEPSC amplitudes were normalized to the first evoked cEPSC of each cell. During 0.1 Hz stimulation, the cEPSC amplitudes declined to a plateau with about 64% of the initial amplitude. C: Amount of synaptic depression (in percent) induced by varying numbers of pulses within one burst applied to auditory fibers in rat brain slices at 1 Hz (diamonds) or 0.1 Hz (triangle). One and two pulse bursts did not induce synaptic depression while 100 triple pulses resulted in a small but significant decay. Four pulse bursts applied at 1 or 0.1 Hz induced synaptic depression of about 40% of the initial amplitude; stars indicate a significant decay.

Drumbeats and trumpets marked the passing-out parade of recruit police constables at Temporary Police Training School in Tiruchi on Monday. Parents and relatives of the recruits watched with awe and pride as the recruits synchronously marched across the grounds to signify their passing out of the training. Apart from the customary parade march, the recruits engaged in activities such as presenting arms, skill display in martial arts, mass P.T, and other professional skills.
"The recruits reported to us on February 17 this year and in the past six months, we have trained them in the best possible way. Now, they are passing out as smart young recruits," said Superintendent of Police Rajeshwari, principal of the training school.
A total of 234 recruits passed out from the training school. They have received training in yoga, martial arts, swimming, driving, computer skills, fingerprinting, photography, usage of walkie-talkie, shooting, and all the related skills.
The chief guest, Shailesh Kumar Yadav, Commissioner of Police, gave away the awards and medals to the best recruits.
P.Logesh received the best all-rounder award as well as the first prize in legal training. P. Vinodkumar received the first prize in parade march and A.Dineshbabu bagged the first prize in firing.
"Fitness is essential to us in this field as is discipline and effectiveness. You should ensure that you use lathi and other weapons given to you in a lawful manner based on the guidelines and when deemed necessary," said Mr. Yadav. He said that police personnel should prevent offences and ensure proper crime control.
THANJAVUR: Police personnel should maintain good physique till they retire from service said P.Kannappan, Inspector General of police, Intelligence, here on Monday.
Speaking at the new recruits passing out parade here, Mr.Kannappan said that the personnel, after their seven month training, are in great shape.
"You should maintain this till your retirement. For that you should take good and healthy food and do regular exercise," he advised. "You should be courteous to the members of the public while on bandobust duty. G.Dharmaraj, Superintendent of Police and Principal of Police Training School, said that 194 policemen were passing out on Monday. They were trained in striking force, riot control, bomb detection, and rifle shooting. Maheshan, Dy.SP and vice-principal of training school, spoke.

Inside a former Naval Reserve building, the museum traces the history of the California Coast seas, from cannons to seaplanes and surfing to the environment. The Munger Theater brings the sea to life with films that could feature maritime history or a trip around the coast, and lectures and other events further enrich the experience.113 Harbor Way, Ste 190Santa Barbara, CA US

Kern County MuseumRead MoreIn 1868, a massive flood rolled down the Sierra Nevada Mountains, carrying tree after uprooted tree in its wake. Once the waters receded, those trees and the very confused squirrels hiding in them covered the Kern River valley. That's right where Thomas Barnes found them. So he cut them into logs and built a cabin from the ground up, then moved in with his wife and seven children. Today, that same cabin stands as one of the buildings within Kern County Museum's Pioneer Village. The structures here are relics of several different times and places. Some came from old farms in the area, while others once stood on the main streets of towns?such as the Beale Memorial Clock Tower from old Bakersfield. While their original purposes have long since passed, the buildings still spring to life each time a visitor passes through. It's easy to imagine a blacksmith at work at the Calloway Ranch in the late 1800s, or the faithful tellers who saw The Kern Valley Bank through the Great Depression. A different view of Kern County's history takes center stage inside the museum's other permanent attraction, Black Gold: The Oil Experience. Here, 9,640 square feet of exhibit space reveal how oil forms deep within the earth, as well as methods for its discovery and production. Other displays profile the workers and historical events that ultimately led to Kern County claiming 64% of California?s oil production.3801 Chester Ave.Bakersfield, CA US

"A wise man has something to say, but a fool just has to say something."
This genre has advanced significantly over the last 11 years. More systems, mechanics, graphics and tools are available to developers than there has ever been. The problem arises from those that were early adapters to the mmorpg genre. You're ahead of the curve and are far more advanced into the genre than the mechanics could ever hope to match. It's like riding on the tip of an iceberg and ignoring the shear amount of mass that you're standing on just below the surface. When the influx of newer mmo players who were brought in from 2004 to now have had their fill of "introductory" mmos, you will start to witness a shift in demand for things most of us have already experienced, but it will seem new to them. It's like the reintroduction of a favorite car model that was discontinued for a new line of crappy SUV. And junior seeing the new Dodge Challenger and thinking: Whoa what a sweet ride! While you're thinking: Yeah it beats the pants off these crappy things they call cars nowadays.
What most of you are looking for is reintroduction of the type of mmorpgs that birthed this genre. A new Dodge Challenger so to speak. And that's what it really boils down to. You guys aren't upset that the genre is littered with clones....you're upset because, you feel, the wrong mmorpg was picked for the cloning process. But i feel that the right path was taken to fill the mmorpg reservoir with enough players for this genre to move forward. What a lot of you here have is a lack of patience. Why don't you muster some of it up from the days you spent gaining one exp bubble or the days when you went weeks trying to get a certain drop off a rare mob. Because change is coming, you just have to be aware enough to accept that it's coming.

What i find odd is when they already have templates there to take ideas from and still come up short.
WvW in GW2 is a good example, its extremely boring and nothing like the RvR of daoc its supposed to be heavily influenced from. Theres no solo / roaming groups. ALl you do is run around flipping the same towers as another zerg retakes them. I heard they removed the equivalent of relics due to hacking but its been months now come on..
Also too many MMO's seem to follow the same boring combat, where everything is autoattacks or autoaims with wooden animations. Maybe its time to change. How good would SWTOR be if it used jedi knight games combat... Those games are so old, why cant combat in an mmo be like that. I saw 1 or 2 attempts at action combat but its hitscan and boring melee still.

i wish people wouldnt cite WoW as the major problem with the sorry state of many MMOs. It's not WoW. the problem is that once WoW made so much money other game companies tried to piggyback on their success by creating similar games rather than trying to evolve the genre. the problem is lazy greedy game companies and devs, not WoW.
though i think that, looking at the recent bunch of games coming on the horizon, the trend might once again be shifting towards originality, and lets hope we will enter a new era of mmo inginuity on the backs of EQNext, Repopulation, Camelot Unchained, Hex MMOTCG, World of Darkness, Dragon's prophet, archeage, etc.

The technical side of MMO's are advancing. Graphics/Networking/Interfacing etc.
The actual gameplay mechanics are devolving. Now a MMO's features list is shorter than a haiku, when they used to be longer then my old ATT cell phone bill.
"In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we've got another one that is actually going to be – so we're going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we're targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can't hold me to it. But what we're targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo

I love MMO's and I love playing new ones. They're fun and you get to meet new people along the way. I personally fall into the competitive/hardcore bracket myself and typically go through today's MMO in the first week or month. As everyone knows Neverwinter was recently released and here's my experience with it:
I do believe that the MMO genre is regressing. It's very unfortunate that this is happening. Something in which was an amazing niche genre has become such an overly bloated monster that has no resemblance of its former glory. I see new games released day in and day out claiming "the next best thing!" but they really aren't (at least not for myself). These games are being aimed at the masses. The products are no longer here for the veterans of MMO's who've played EQ, UO, SWG, DAOC, and etc.
While many of these games are fun they usually lack a lot of things; content, player housing, PvP, community, in-depth, a world, crafting, communication, teamwork, and exploration this list goes on and varies between each MMO. While games do shine in certain aspects many of which lack that MMO feel that many avid players get when they play classics.
In my most recent experience I explained how I went through the content of Neverwinter just after a week of its release and experienced everything the game had to offer. While the experience was fun it lacked many features and the progression within the game was dull. I've actually gone back to Everquest and am starting from scratch with a Froglok Shadow Knight. While the UI is quite cumbersome I still feel enjoyment while playing the game. Everquest is a game that has been out for 13 years now and players have embarked through many challenging journeys. With their newest expansion: Rain of Fear this marks their 19th expansion. This is an amazing feat and takes a lot of dedication from a developer and I hope new and upcoming developers look at what this game is doing in comparison to what companies are releasing now.
Even Anarchy Online is a spectacular game for an MMO that has been out for 10 years now. It has the most complex character development you'll ever see in a MMO. While the game doesn't have many expansions it keeps a strong community of hardcore players with a massive world with many things to do. From public dungeons, player cities, world PvP, twinking, alien invasions, this game even has had dynamic events even before guild wars even thought of the idea. This game is something many games today are failing to achieve.
I personally hope that an indie developer looks at the current state of the MMO genre and strays away from it. These games truly are a recipe for disaster. Hopefully we'll have a game that takes MMO gamers and puts them back onto the right path with a world that doesn't cater to instant gratification and only rewards those who put forth hard work and dedication.

Shadowbane. 1000 players vs 1000 players. These days game developers instance their games because they can't handle it.
Well maybe except Darkfall online. Just saw a 40 vs 40 and no lag at all. Would be nice to be in a 1000 vs 1000 again.

The Methodical Memory
Invention in Current-Traditional Rhetoric
In this first sustained critique of current-traditional rhetorical theory, Sharon Crowley uses a postmodern, deconstructive reading to reexamine the historical development of current-traditional rhetoric. She identifies it (as well as the British new rhetoric from which it developed) as a philosophy of language use that posits universal principles of mind and discourse. Crowley argues that these philosophies are not appropriate bases for the construction of rhetorical theories, much less guides for the teaching of composition. She explains that current-traditional rhetoric is not a rhetorical theory, and she argues that its use as such has led to a misrepresentation of invention.
Crowley contends that current-traditional rhetoric continues to prosper because a considerable number of college composition teachers—graduate students, part-time instructors, and teachers of literature—are not involved in the development of the curricula they are asked to teach. As a result, their voices, necessary to create any true representation of the composition teaching experience, are denied access to the scholarly conversations evaluating the soundness of the institutionalized teaching methods derived from the current-traditional approach.

It's the tote (bag) that counts
The tote bag is a hard worker—a multitasking handbag denoting the complexity of roles women play today. It is the "everything bag," with great design versatility that suits almost any woman's lifestyle.
It can carry the working woman's laptop and documents. It's for the traveler on a weekend getaway, or the modern woman who must keep her cards, cosmetics and mobile phone handy.
The tote is on the list of Top Ten Fashions that never go out of style.
The first signature tote bags were the Boat Bags designed and sold by LL Bean in 1944. The bag was in canvas and designed for the sailing crowd.
It quickly caught the attention of women from all over, and it was not long before handbag designers created stylish tote bags. One of the earliest was Bonnie, a popular designer of Coach. She was behind the iconic Cashin Carry tote bag that was a big trend in the '60s. In the '90s, Kate Spade started a line of totes that was truly chic and feminine.
There's a good variety of totes at SM—brights, neutrals and prints in different materials—subtle calfskin, rich patents, embossed leather, heavy canvas, ballistic nylon and even jelly totes.
There are the Parisian Bags, Grab, Kimbel, Secosana and Belladonna collections at the Ladies Bags Department of all SM stores.
