Indiana vs. Minnesota
Jan. 25, 2009
Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
Indiana Head Coach Tom Crean
Opening Statement:
"This was the first time probably all year where I looked at this team and it was the culmination of the whole week of them really building up not only a preparation to win, not only a desire to win, but the belief the would win. This is one of the tougher ones to swallow. They all are. They are miserable for every coach and everybody that is a part of it.
"But looking at my team, my job is to be honest with them, my job is to always tell them the truth and make them better men at the end of every day. One of the greatest attributes anyone can have is the belief they belong. And this was a day that they really did believe. They played harder, longer and they competed. The intensity was there, but the execution certainly wasn't always there. But we had a team of guys that battled and I never once didn't believe that they didn't think they could win."
On the production from Malik Story today:
(Today we saw) a sense of urgency. That is the bottom line. We want guys to understand it means a great deal to play here, to compete here. And Malik is a very capable player. It certainly doesn't help our basketball team when he only plays three minutes, like he did last week. But it wasn't helping our basketball team the way he was playing inside of those minutes.
"It was very important that he had a great week, and he did. And it is very important now that he build on it."
On Devin Dumes' limited minutes down the stretch:
He had some foul issues. We were playing momentum a little bit at that point. At the end of the game there was no question that we wanted him in.
On whether they were looking for a three-point basket in the final seconds:
"We were looking for a three the second time. We had been running something through the day, and it was open the time before. It would have been a quick-hitting layup. But we didn't get it; they closed it up. So again, we flowed right into our next call. We wanted to score two at that point, if it was there on the cut. And then if it wasn't we would flow right in and either take the roll layup, which they closed up pretty good, or throw back for the three. But Matt (Roth) never really got open off those last two screens."
On the team's free throw shooting:
"The numbers we chart in practice would astound you. But it is also an empty Assembly Hall. It is just part of it. I don't want to get frustrated with that. We just want to continue to put ourselves in pressure situations in practice. We were shooting 72 percent in the Big Ten going into today's game.
"There is no question we are participating in our own situation here with missed foul shots and giving up offensive rebound and letting people cut in front of us late in the game. To me, the belief that we can win, especially when you are 0-5, that is pretty important. And we have to continue to build on that."
On today's crowd:
Greatest crowd we had thus far. That is why it is a disappointing loss. We want these players to experience and see some positive results for how hard they work. Because I promise you that they work. Our fans are so great. There was an Indiana University police officer here last night guarding 18,000 shirts. "Our fans are loving it, and I can't tell you enough about what that means. To see our crowd the way that it is, and to see them engaged the way they are and how loud it is; there is going to be a day where we don't kill our own momentum. We are going to get that corrected. But out crowd they turn right back around and cheer again. And you just can't ask for more."
On Tijan Jobe's play defensively on perimeter:
That is what we wanted to do and we never really got to a situation in the second half where we could do it again because they went smaller at the four (position). Our job is to find use for everybody. We want to continue to find ways for Tijan to get into the games and help us. He was engaged; he was excited. He has limitations but we have to continue to try and work through those."
On the team racking up seven fouls first four minutes of second half:
"We've been trying to play our bench more. It we get rattled by that as coaches, and we get worked up on that, then I think it is going to affect them. If you coach emotionally in the sense of how you go after certain things, we are not ingrained enough to play through that. They are still taking their cues from the coaching staff in a lot of ways. I don't want that to get into their head. I want them to continue to play. That is why we have to be able to continue to use our bench.
"Certainly it is hard. It changes your flow of the game. I am not going to second guess any of that; we just have to deal with it."

Saint Leo, Fla. (January 27, 2007) – Three Saint Leo players scored in double figures, as the Lions (10-8, 4-4 SSC) defeated the Lynn University Fighting Knights (13-6, 5-3 SSC) by a score of 64-62 on Saturday afternoon in a Sunshine State Conference game. The win was the first-ever for the Lions over the Knights after coming into the contest with an 0-22 mark all-time.
For the second straight game, Saint Leo was led by sophomore forward Kyle Rowland (North Port, Fla.) who scored 23 points, and added four rebounds and four blocks. Saint Leo also got 13 points and 12 points from Quentin Cullop (Fr., Winter Haven, Fla.) and Richard Blue (Sr., Miami, Fla.), respectively. Cullop also dished out a game-high six assists in the win.
The Lions' defense held SSC leading scorer Andrew Smith to 10 points. Hans Schur led the Knights in defeat with 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Rowland provided what proved to be the game-winning bucket with 45-seconds left in the game after Smith had given the Knights a 62-61 lead with 1:07 left. Smith's lay-up was then blocked with 11-seconds remaining by SLU freshman Saladeem Dewberry (Calypso, N.C.). After Dewberry converted on one of two from the free throw line, a pair of misses by Lynn's Luke Postorino and Ed Millard sealed the win for the Lions.
Overall there were 14 ties and 13 lead changes with neither team leading by more than eight points. Saint Leo shot 45.3% (24-of-53) while Lynn shot 41.9% (26-of-62).
The Lions will travel to St. Petersburg, Fla. to face Eckerd College on Monday night in their next game. Opening tip is slated for 7:30 p.m.

My friend Mary was in hospital after the birth of her first child, and her priest, who was a good family friend, was visiting.
A nurse walked in with a paper bag and said "Here's your contraceptives, Mary", and blushed furiously when the bloke turned round and there was the dog collar.
After she'd left, he gave Mary "a look" and she replied "I won't take them, Father, but if I get pregnant, you can bring it up in the rectory".
"Take the tablets, Mary" he replied!!

SCIENCE-fiction illustrators love to imagine what the sky would look like from a planet circling a star in one of the tight concentrations of hundreds of thousands of stars known as globular clusters. But these images of star-studded heavens will probably always be fantasy. Clusters just don't seem to suit planets.
Over the past five years, astronomers have been finding more and more planets outside our Solar System. Where we view the orbit edge-on, we can sometimes see the planet passing in front of its parent star every few days, causing dips in the star's brightness.
To check for planets in globular clusters, a team of astronomers led by Ron Gilliland of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, used the Hubble Space Telescope to monitor 30 000 stars in 47 Tucanae, one of the largest clusters known. They should have seen 15 to 20 transits in this many ...

Mexican Eats: Tamales and More at La Güera, Sunset Park
The tamales from La Güera, a modest taqueria in Sunset Park, are fantastic renditions of a perfect, portable food. Tamales ($1.50) sit at the front in an Igloo cooler, all the easier peddle to pedestrians and still warm at midday. There are smoky mole tamales with dark black centers, cheese and green chili versions, and sweet pineapple-infused tamales that sometimes hold dried plums. But the phenomenal banana leaf-wrapped oaxaqueño tamales that are cause for celebration. More

|The "Cruisewhopper" was really a Kenworth K100 Cabover painted and upfitted to
resemble a Mack Cruiseliner. Albuquerque trucker Bill Davis was responsible for
summoning the working trucks for the movie, including those of Fred Bruhn. In the case
of Pig Pen's extra truck, the prop staff used one of Bill Davis' K100 cabovers. In fact, the
truck used was virtually identical to the Bruhn K123 used "as-is" with the belly dump
trailer that followed the Rubber Duck through most of the movie.
I have captured a number of photos from the movie which clearly show the reworked
Kenworth. If you notice, the producers went through some work to not only replicate the
paint scheme of the Cruiseliner, but also the bull bar, single headlight, "MACK" name
above the griller and the passenger side "ram" air scoop behind the cab. Unfortunately,
they didn't do anything with the roof mounted A/C condenser or the Kenworth factory air
cleaner pipe on the driver's side.
|The Cruiseliner WAS used in the Alvarez Jail hit, and damage to the truck and exhaust stacks can clearly
be seen as the truck backs out and then drives past the jail. The Cruisewhopper reappears after the
funeral as Pig Pen leads the reassembled convoy on to Washington D.C.
|300 with a Mack 5 speed transmission. With that engine and transmission
combo, the truck was likely a model WS786LST. During filming, the truck
was driven by a stunt man named Alan Riggs.
After filming, the truck was returned to Mack and subsequently auctioned off
as a promo in the LA area. At the time, a man named Mike K. was one of
only a handful of trucking companies with an all-Mack fleet. Having
established a good rapport with the local Mack dealer, the dealer's staff let
Mike know what he needed to bid to win the truck, and sure enough, he won.
After the auction, Mike talked a great length with Kris Kristofferson about the
movie and the filming process. There were also a few other stories about
Barbra that I won't put herein.
About a year after purchasing the truck, one of Mike's drivers totaled the
truck in a jackknife wreck on the I-5/I-205 interchange in Los Angeles. Mike
had the truck towed back to the shop, but there was nothing left to rebuild.
The truck was sold for scrap, pink diamond tuck leather, mirrored ceiling and

Type of a table or structure
The table type determines how the logical table description defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary is reproduced on the database. There are the following table types:
1. transparent table
2. structure
3. append structure
For internal purposes, such as storing control data or update texts, there are in addition the following table types:
1. pooled table
2. cluster table
3. generated view structure
Transparent table There is a physical table on the database for each transparent table. The names of the physical tables and the logical table definition in the ABAP/4 Dictionary correspond. All business data and application data are stored in transparent tables.
Structure No data records exist in the database for a structure. Structures are used for the interface definition between programs or between screens and programs.
Append structure An append structure defines a set of fields which belong to another table or structure but which are treated in the correction administration as its own object. Append structures are used to support modifications.
Pooled table Pooled tables can be used to store control data (e.g. screen sequences, program parameters or temporary data). Several pooled tables can be combined to form a table pool. The table pool corresponds to a physical table on the database in which all the records of the allocated pooled tables are stored.
Cluster table Cluster tables contain continuous text, for example, documentation. Several cluster tables can be combined to form a table cluster. Several logical lines of different tables are combined to form a physical record in this table type. This permits object-by-object storage or object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, at least parts of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in one corresponding table on the database.
Generated view structure In activation a structure is generated for a view. This structure serves as interface for the runtime environment. It does not generally appear in the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
What is a Data Class?
The Data class determines in which tablespace the table is stored when it is created in the database. What is a Size Category? The Size category describes the probable space requirement of the table in the database. How Many types of size categories and data classes are there? There are five size categories (0-4) and 11 data classes, only three of which are appropriate for application tables:
- APPL0 - Master data (data frequently accessed but rarely updated)
- APPL1 - Transaction data (data that is changed frequnetly)
- APPL2 - Organisational data (customizing data that is entered when system is
configured and then rarely changed)
What are control tables?
The values specified for the size category and data class are mapped to database-specific values via control tables.
What is the function of the transport system and workbench organiser?
The function of the transport system and the Workbench Organizer is to manage any changes made to objects of the ABAP/4 Development Workbench and to transport these changes between different SAP systems.
What is a table pool?
A table pool (or pool) is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. The definition of a pool consists of at least two key fields and a long argument field (VARDATA).
What are pooled tables? These are logical tables which must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined. Pooled tables can be used to store control data (such as screen sequences or program parameters).
What is a table cluster?
A table cluster combines several logical tables in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. Several logical rows from different cluster tables are brought together in a single physical record. The records from the cluster tables assigned to a cluster are thus stored in a single common table in the database.
Which objects are independent transport objects?
Domains, Data elements, Tables, Technical settings for tables, Secondary indexes for transparent tables,
Structures, Views,
Matchcode objects, Matchcode IDs, Lock objects.
What are the Data types of the external layer?
What are the Data types of the ABAP/4 layer?
Possible ABAP/4 data types: C: Character. D: Date, format YYYYMMDD. F: Floating-point number in DOUBLE PRECISION (8 bytes). I: Integer. N: Numerical character string of arbitrary length. P: Amount or counter field (packed; implementation depends on hardware platform). S: Time stamp YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. T: Time of day HHMMSS. V: Character string of variable length, length is given in the first two bytes. X: Hexadecimal (binary) storage.
How can we set the tablespaces and extent sizes ?
You can specify the extent sizes and the tablespace (physical storage
area in the database) in which a transparent table is to be stored by setting the size category and data class.
What is a data dictionary ?
Data dictionary is a central source of data in a data management system. Its main function is to support the .It has details about
- What data is contained ?
- What are the attributes of the data ?
- What is the relationship existing between the various data elements ?
What functions does a data dictionary perform ?
In a data management system, the principal functions performed by the data dictionary are
- Management of data definitions
- Provision of information for evaluation
- Support for software development
- Support form documentation
- Ensuring that the data definitions are flexible and up-to-date.
A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned to a reference table and a reference field. Explain.
As a reference table, a system table containing all the valid currencies is assigned or any other table which contains a field with the currency key format. This field is called as reference field. The assignment of the field containing currency amounts to the reference field is made at runtime. The value in the reference field determines the currency of the amount.
What is the significance of Technical settings (specified while creating a table in the data dictionary) ?
By specifying technical settings we can control how database tables are created in the database. The technical settings allows us to - optimize storage space requiremnets
- table access behaviour
- buffering required
- changes to entries logged
What is the significance of Delivery Class ?
- The delivery class controls the degree to which the SAP or the customer is responsible for table maintenance
- whether SAP provides the table with or without contents.
- determines the table type. - determines how the table behaves when it is first installed, at upgrade, when it is transported, and when a client copy is performed.
What is the maximum number of structures that can be included in a table or structure
- Nine.
What are the two methods of modifying Sap standard tables ?
- Append Structures and
- Customizing Includes.
What is the difference between a Substructure and an Append Structure ?
- In case of a substructure, the reference originates in the table itself, in the forma of a statement .include... . - In case of an append structure, the table itself remains unchanged and the refrence originates in the append structure.
What are the two ways for restricting the value range for a domain ? - By specifying fixed values.
- By stipulating a value table.
What is a Match Code ?
Match Code is a tool to help us to search for data records in the system. Match codes are an efficient and user-friendly search aid where key of a record is unknown. What are the two levels in defining a Match Code ?
- Match Code object
- Match Code Id.
What is the maximum number of match code Id's that can be defined for one Match code object ?
- 36. A match code Id is a one character ID which can be a letter or a number.
Can we define our own Match Code ID's for SAP Matchcodes ?
Yes, the numbers 0 to 9 are reserved for us to create our own Match Code IDs for a SAP defined Matchcode object.
What is an Update type with reference to a Match code ID?
If the data in one of the base tables of a matchcode ID changes, the matchcode data has to be updated. The update type stipulates when the matchcode is to be updated and how it is to be done. The update type also specifies which method is to be used for Building matchcodes . You must specify the update type when you define a matchcode ID.
What are conversion routines ?
- Non standard conversions from display format to sap internal format and vice-versa are implemented with so called conversion routines.
Aggregated Objects Views, matchcodes, and lock objects are also called aggregate objects because they are formed from several related tables.

This is the project name for the space open link in the menu left.
The meaning of the name should be clear, but for those who do not know that there was someone on the moon (you know, that giant light-emitting ball in the sky at night) once, they should consider leaving their basement once in fifty years.
Project progress
Initial algo
The initial algo sucked, because it counted the amount of changed pixels in the pictures. A reasonable idea if you got a stable source of image data, but a camera combined with JPEG compression results in epic fail.
Second algo
The second incarnation of the algo checks if an image is between certain boundaries. Those boundaries are generated from statitic calculations on the previous image data captured with the first algo.
The following sets of boundaries are generated:
- dark
- average
- minimum
- maximum
- light
- average
- minimum
- maximum
Here's a test run with a small amount of input data (100 frames containing dark data, 100 frames containing light) download zipped BMP files.
Currently I'm implementing the algo in the Web App, and it will be deployed soon to the server. It is a fact: many of us usually are unhappy with the distance off the ground.http://www.mbtkouluttajienmyynti.com/ , Many of us need most of us ended up being more substantial - some sort of inch, a couple of inches width, and even half dozen inches width.http://www.louisvuittonegozio.com/ , However additionally it is undeniable for life which will upping your distance off the ground when you have surpassed a person's escalating get older almost not possible, sans surgical procedure.http://www.mbtvendaformadores.com/ ,
Nonetheless concurrently, it really is really quite feasible to search substantially taller rather than you will really are if you ever observe quite a few specified regulations:

A person's outfit may have a vital relation to exactly how in height you start looking. Usually, top to bottom beating make it easier to check higher along with thinner. Hence, simply by tshirts in addition to slacks by means of pinstripes. They're equally significantly in fashion lately.
Furthermore, dress yourself in stable colorations around : ideally during darker colorings. Mild shorts in excess of dimly lit tee shirts, or perhaps vice versa, lure attention to ones middle and additionally thighs, givin a shorter, stodgy physical appearance. Because of this , the key reason why you can infrequently look for smaller models wearing lightweight outfit.

The Dark Side
Quote of the day:
I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.
-Oscar Wilde
I want to stop listening to the silent voices.
That lurk in the darkest valleys.
And by dark I mean...
A black and white photograph.
Of shadowy silhouettes.
Of moonless nights and...
Of the colour of your eyes.
Of the black dress...and stockings.
Of all our darker sides.
And when the darkness whispers.
When the earth eavesdrops...
Can you hear the raindrops?
In pursuit of distant lights.
If only our echoes could be heard.
Even with questions answered.
We still seek new encounters.
Every breath brings us closer.
Every step takes us further.
In the darkness that envelopes us.
In the light that we forever embrace.
Our thoughts engraved with timeless memories.
The source of which remains unsolved mysteries.
Happy December.
Peace & Love!

Replying to: ATTs idea of HSPA+ is a shame by Jayshmay
They'll have LTE just like VZW (eventually..we can only hope), and when they do, you'll be dropping down to HSPA+ speeds when you're out of an LTE area. On VZW, when you leave an LTE area you'll be dropping all the way down to EVDO...ouch..that's a pretty long drop isn't it? looks painful.

Historians may look back at Typhoon Haiyan as a turning point in disaster journalism and the politics of climate change. For the first time, an extreme- weather catastrophe in the tropics has shrugged off its "made in Asia" label and gone global.
Daniel Alpert isn't the first to point out the dangers of global trade imbalances.
An inside look at Twitter and advice from Facebook's Randi Zuckerberg will both hit the bookstores this month. Here are some November highlights:
In "Circle of Friends," Charles Gasparino gives us all the elements of the insider-trading genre: bundles of cash, informants wired by the FBI, bickering regulators.
Breezing into a sunlit conference room near London's Hyde Park Corner wearing an open-collared white shirt that frames his square jaw, Loic Fery exudes the confidence of a soccer club owner who's enjoyed success on the pitch and with the team's account ledgers.
Lying in a Beijing military hospital in 1990, General Wang Zhen told a visitor he felt betrayed. Decades after he risked his life fighting for an egalitarian utopia, the ideals he held as one of Communist China's founding fathers were being undermined by the capitalist ways of his children -- business leaders in finance, aviation and computers.
The Federal Reserve is buying mortgage-backed securities and has stated it will keep interest rates low until unemployment falls. The Bank of Canada under Mark Carney likewise made an explicit promise about how long rates would be held down, and Carney is now bringing this practice to the Bank of England. The European Central Bank, led by Mario Draghi, has refined how it communicates its interest- rate intentions.
Albert Einstein's postcard to his sick mother joyfully reporting proof of the bending of light and a letter suggesting a solution to the Jewish-Arab conflict have been put online.
It is widely assumed that people in economically "advanced" countries do not differ significantly in how satisfied they are with their jobs. Because they are about equally productive, the reasoning is, they must produce things the same way, and so their work experience must be the same, too.
From her leafy, 11th-floor rooftop terrace at the headquarters of Soho China Ltd ., billionaire Zhang Xin scans the relentlessly expanding Beijing skyline she helped create. Zhang's avant-garde buildings -- some sleek as chopsticks, others stepped like rice terraces -- became part of the hottest real estate market on Earth in 2010.

Some bad movies should carry a leper's bell to warn off ticket buyers. Such a contagion is Charlie St. Cloud, a load of mawkish swill starring Zac Efron (bereft of the talent he showed in "Me and Orson Welles"). show more
A delicate film - not flimsy, but fragile - that holds together on the strength of Efron's physical presence and performance. show more
The movie tries to capture the crushing weight of loss, but between the insipid pop tunes and the repetitive shots cutting away to a lighthouse on a scenic outcropping, it feels more like a film version of a condolence card. show more

There are sure to be negative comments on the emotional role Zac plays ... but he has shown he is a True Actor. I vote 85% of the movie is good plot and acting. Difficult roles for all concerned and a bit ethereal. A definite worth seeing movie. Thanks for the effort Zac - I'll look forward to others you'll do.

Tanzania has for the first time joined the rest of the world in the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest expected to give school children an opportunity to develop new car concepts.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam, the Toyota Tanzania Senior Marketing Executive, Ms Eliavera Timothy, said the Toyota Motor Corporation supported global contest is open to children aged between three to 15 years.
The company used Aghakan Primary school in Dar es Salaam as the launching pad for the rest across the country. The competition originates in Japan in 2004, and has expanded to North, Central and South America; Europe, Oceania, the Middle East and Africa.
She said it is designed to unleash and reward the creativity of children, and all that a participant has to do, is to draw their 'dream car' on paper. "The contest is aiming at creating an opportunity for children to develop their interest in cars and help them feel the joy and importance of having a dream.
Not only enhancing the Toyota brand image as a good corporate citizen, but will create an enduring bond between children (the future generation of car owners) and our brand," she said She said the Tanzanian edition of the contest is divided into three age categories:
Under 10, 10-12 and 13-15 years of age. All artwork submitted will face a panel of judges to determine three national winners in each category (gold, silver and bronze). However, apart from winning exciting local prizes, the selected nine students from Tanzania will then have their artwork entered into the global contest, where they will stand a chance to win a trip with a parent to the global award ceremony in Tokyo, Japan.
Being the first edition of the competition in Tanzania, Toyota Tanzania Ltd has opened the contest to 30 schools in Dar es Salaam, Tanga and Zanzibar. They have already been contacted with the information they need to inspire their students. Yesterday, selected students from each school received free art materials from Toyota Tanzania Ltd and a detailed brief including terms and conditions for the contest.
After local winners have been announced on March this year, a selection of work will be displayed in a gallery format for all to view. She said the judging for the global contest will take place in April and May, and ultimately, the award ceremony in Tokyo would be in late August.

As part of its commitment to nation-building, leading technology company, Intel, has set out on a value-adding initiative to train National Youth Service Corps members in Technology and Entrepreneurship.
According to the management of the company, the one-week free training is the first of several that will stretch across other states of the Federation, with Lagos being the initial state in the pilot phase of the Technology and Entrepreneurship project.
"The Training of Youth Corp Members is part of Intel's Corporate Social Responsiveness to the educational needs of our society. The week long free training strives to equip youth corps members with necessary skills to cope in the 21st Century workplace taking them through an intense technology-entrepreneurship scheme," the Corporate Affairs Manager, Intel West Africa, Osagie Ogunbor, said in his opening address that recently started training activities.
Ogunbor noted that the initiative more than anything, was borne out of the necessity to stimulate interest in entrepreneurship towards establishing businesses and ultimately reducing the increasing unemployment problem in Nigeria.
"The changing trends in the global economy are increasingly becoming knowledge-based being driven by advances in Information and Communication Technology and this has significantly raised the stakes in the labour market," he further stated.
He went on to state that as graduates preparing to enter the labour market, the possession of technical knowledge on its own, would not suffice, but ownership of complementary life skills to deliver the highest possible value in any field of endeavor was the ultimate task.

LOOPER Movie Review 4 out of 4
Just when you feared that Hollywood had run out of fresh ideas, here comes Rian Johnson's inventive, exciting and thoughtful thriller, LOOPER. It's the best time travel film I've ever seen. The plot summary: It's the year 2044 and time travel has yet to be invented, but criminals from the future { 2074} are sending back victims in time to 2044 to be killed by hitmen. Loopers are the contract killers, who have agreed, rather shortsightedly, to tie up loose ends by killing the 2074 version of themselves. The assassins are called loopers because they know that in 30 years they will be killed by a younger version of themselves, thus closing the loop. I LOVE intelligent sci-fi, but too often in these endeavors the characters get lost in the storytelling, like in Prometheus. What sets LOOPER apart, is that Johnson makes sure we care about the characters, they are well developed and must face interesting moral and ethical questions. Joseph Gordon Levitt is tremendous as the loner, antihero assassin. Bruce Willis is terrific as the 30 year older version of Levitt. Their scene together in a diner is one of the best scenes this year in cinema. Imagine sitting over lunch talking to a 30 year older version of yourself. Freaky. The supporting cast is top notch, including the young Pierre Gagnon, who is extraordinary as Cid. His mom is cleverly performed by Emily Blunt, who is just so likable in everything. The script is smart and polished, events move along in hard hitting fashion. About half way thru, the film takes an unpredictable and shrewd turn. I don't want to reveal anymore, the plot developments are better discovered while viewing. The last time a film garnered 4 stars from me was in 2008 { The Dark Knight and Slumdog Millionaire}. I'm a tough grader. Greatness to me is reserved for films where everything works together in perfect harmony, like a great basketball team. In LOOPER the story is original and suspenseful. The characters are well thought out and brilliantly portrayed. It is a film that is engaging, entertaining, affecting and insightful. It is one of the best Sci-Fi films I've seen in years. A MUST SEE !!!!

What a city owes
Posted: July 29, 2013 at 5:01 a.m.
Though it is the biggest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy, Detroit is only one of 26 urban municipalities that have gone into bankruptcy or state receivership for fiscal insolvency since 2008. Detroit should draw attention and debate to a challenging issue underlying all these public insolvencies: What level of public services will we protect and guarantee for U.S. cities?

Coming back to our birthday celebration, Jasleen exercised her lung power to fill up some balloons while Sonu arranged a very yummy cupcake in pink especially for Fashion Bombay!
This is what we wore.
Sonu wore an oversized denim shirt with elbow patches with newly purchased gold wedges
Shirt, Dad's| jeggings, Only| wedges, Bandra| flower brooch, Claires| bag, Paprika| coin ring, Amrapal| sunglasses, Ray Bans
- Wedges are everywhere this season and you are sure to find a style to suit your body, height and wardrobe.
- We recommend going for something less chunky if you're not too tall, with slinky straps works well for petite bodies while really chunky wedges also tend to suit small feet a tad more than really large feet.
- The over-sized shirt borrowed from her Dad has a relaxed look that brightened with her flower brooch.
Jasleen wore a knee-length jumper with hot pink flats
Jumper, Hill Road, Bandra| flats, Zara| badges, borrowed| bag, Forever 21
- The jumper in knee-length is so fun to work with and comfortable. Jasleen went for the very aviator look with her badges and a wing brooch (borrowed from her husband, G) while the pink flats added the 'girlie' ingredient.
- The same jumper can be dressed up for the night with a sequinned jacket and wedges. A clutch in a contrast or matching colour would add zing to.
- Jumpers and rompers can look good on all body types. While someone petite will look good in a romper and taller person can carry of the fuller jumpsuit well. You can also decide on the material based on your body type. The jersey material works well to show of a curvy body.

Plaza plan needs wider debate
((An earlier version of this editorial, and the printed version, incorrectly indicated that the stakeholder meeting was tonight (Thursday). This version correctlyl notes that it is next Tuesday).
Durham County Government will ask the public's thoughts Tuesday on a project that has been quietly in the works for years, but only recently exploded into public view.
The county plans to demolish the former Department of Social Services building at 220 E. Main Street and replace it with a "civic plaza." An architect outlined several possible options for that development to the County Commissioners last month.
Tuesday's "stakeholder meeting" at 6 in the Human Services Building (414 E. Main St.) is looking for input on those options, and for other ideas, for the plaza development.
County officials are likely to hear much more than that tonight.
And they should listen.
Since the presentation to the commissioners, a number of voices have raised concerns about and often outright opposition to replacing the DSS building with an open plaza.
County officials have expressed the idea that the plan to tear down the building dates to a master plan more than a decade ago. And until recently, they have heard no negative reaction.
But there is ample reason to take a deep breath and not rush to a final decision on the disposition of that high-profile, important corner of our rapidly reinvigorating downtown.
The county's reasoning in deciding the fate of the property is well-intentioned and in many ways appealing. We do need to preserve open space as downtown begins to regain the commercial vitality and denseness so vital to an urban center. A public gathering spot is a worthwhile social goal. The opening of that space would provide a more dramatic view of the historic 1916-vintage county office building, originally constructed as the county courthouse.
Gary Kueber, a noted downtown redeveloper whose "Open Durham" blog is both an invaluable trove of information about our built environment and a forum for critiquing and debating changes in our urban landscape, has been characteristically blunt:
"I strongly disagree with the notion that creating public space here is going to be revitalizing in some way to this intersection or parts east," he wrote. He noted, as have other critics of the plan, that adjacency to five-lane Roxboro Street at the eastern end of the horribly misconceived Downtown Loop will hardly make for a pleasant park experience.
"The biggest problem for the parts east of Roxboro is the sense of physical separation from downtown-west. Creating another gap will worsen this," he added.
On the other hand, landscape architect Dan Jewell, who has been involved in the civic plaza proposal, argues that the open space could "act as a bit of a catalyst" for other projects on downtown's east end." Jewell, too, has played a significant role in downtown's revitalization and is deeply invested in it. His ideas, like those of others involved in the plaza project, ought to be taken seriously.
At this juncture, we're dubious about the plaza project.
This is a significant decision for the future of downtown, especially its eastern end.
It needs far more detailed and open public debate than it has had to this point. Let's reset and have that discussion – the sort we love to have in Durham, often to great effect.

VALPARAISO - The Okaloosa County Health Department on Friday lifted its swimming advisory for Tom's Bayou and Boggy Bayou along Bayshore Drive.
Last week's heavy rains caused manholes along the road to overflow and release about 58,000 gallons of sewage into storm drains and the two bayous.
The advisory for Lincoln Park remains in effect.

Barely two weeks after some suspected pipeline vandals struck at Arepo, Ogun State, another pipeline belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), yesterday exploded in the same area leaving many with varying degrees of injury.
Speaking to THISDAY, the South-west Zonal Public Relations Officer of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed the latest explosion, although he could not ascertain the casualty rate.
The incident occurred about two weeks after about 30 persons were burnt to death at Arepo village in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, when a ruptured NNPC pipeline exploded, destroying another section of the pipeline network within the vicinity.
The vandals were said to have gone to the area to siphon petroleum products from the ruptured NNPC pipeline when it exploded.
According to Farinloye, immediately the information filtered in, the agency mobilised resources to move to the swampy area to first contain and then put out the fire.
The Pipeline and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), the pipeline and marketing subsidiary of NNPC, also confirmed the vandalism of the System 2B Pipeline at Arepo, adding that measures were being taken to prevent a reoccurrence.
An official of PPMC, who did not want to be named, said the latest explosion which occurred in the wee hours of yesterday, might have been caused by vandals who tried to illegally siphon some of the products.
He said: "The service manager of the pipeline has just confirmed to us that another round of vandalism has been observed at Arepo along System 2B in the early hours of Wednesday (yesterday).
"All concerned officials have been mobilised to the area as well as the necessary resources to put off the fire, but the number of casualties could not be ascertained."
However, operatives of the Inspector General of Police's Special Task Force on Anti-Pipeline Vandalism have arrested two Indians and three other suspects for pipeline vandalism.
It was gathered that the task force arrested the suspects in Osogbo, Osun State, shortly after the Indians took delivery of two truckloads of suspected stolen fuel products from the ruptured pipeline.
The Indian suspects were identified as the Managing Director, Prism Steel Mill Limited, Mr. Ashok Agarwal, and the Chief Security Officer of the company, Mr. Kamal Shema.
Others are Fatai Afolabi, Emmanuel Igbokwe and Tukur Mohammed, who were alleged to be the suppliers of the stolen products.
Asides the two truckloads of suspected stolen petroleum products, the police also impounded two trucks with registration numbers XQ522APP and XV102KSF.
Confirming the arrests, the officer in charge of the task force, Assistant Commissioner of Police Friday Ibadin, said the arrests were made based on intelligence reports, which revealed that some vandals were transporting stolen products to their buyer in Osun State.
He said: "We got a tip-off that vandals had resumed their activities along Okene in Ondo State from the NNPC pipeline.
"Policemen led by the Ore Sector Commander, DSP Xpress Omoigui, were sent to the area on regular patrol. It was during one of the patrol sessions that they trailed some trucks to Prism Steel Company based in Osun State.
"As soon as we confirmed that the products were actually sold to the company, our detectives stormed the company and arrested the Director, Engineer Agarwal and his accomplice, Kamal Shema. They would soon be charged to court at the end of our investigation."
On the allegation that some petrol stations and big companies patronise these vandals with impunity, Ibadin said the task force is taking concrete steps to curb this.
One of the suspects, 66-year-old Agarwal, said he was forced to patronise the pipeline vandals and oil thieves because NNPC was unable to meet their demand requirements for their business.
He said: "We established this business to help the country to have enough steel for its use. In the production of steel, we make use of fuel oil, which we all know as black oil.
"We are one of the major suppliers of this steel in Nigeria and if we stop production for want of raw material, there might be scarcity. We had no other choice but to patronise these ones.
"My only mistake was that we never took time to confirm if it was stolen. We are big employers of labour and would beg government to forgive us."

By Emily J. Weitz
As kids make out their lists for Santa Claus and tick through the many things they want to receive, it's an opportunity to also teach them the value of giving. And not just in a material way – the value of giving of your efforts and your heart. This is the idea behind AOKs at Epic Martial Arts. AOKs – or Acts of Kindness – are incorporated into the curriculum as kids work towards their black belt. And no matter how well they can kick and punch, they won't be considered advanced martial artists until they learn how to give of themselves.
The idea of practicing AOKs is "part of martial arts philosophy," says Sensei Michelle Del Giorno, who runs Epic Martial Arts.
"When you're a black belt, you're a leader in the community. The philosophy of martial arts is all about respect, and perseverance. We try to use these core values and apply them to everyday life. We're taking our teachings out of the dojo and into the world by showing our kids how to be kind to each other."
This kind of teaching helps kids deal with issues that come up as they grow older.
"It transcends against bullying, helps with self defense," Del Giorno said.
Every class, Sensei Michelle brings the kids together for mat chat.
"We talk about things that are happening and whatever we're focusing on that week," says Del Giorno. "Because of the holidays, our focus is these Acts of Kindness. Chats change month to month, but right now we're talking about what we can give back to the community."
Each year at this time, Epic Martial Arts engages students in leadership projects as a way to teach these principles. This year, Del Giorno decided to work with Alex's Promise, a foundation close to her heart.
"Alex's mom, Lisa, works at the desk at the karate school, so all the kids know her," says Del Giorno. "And they are longtime family friends of mine."
Alex Koehne, the foundation's namesake, was a young Sag Harbor resident who lost his battle with a rare form of cancer a few years back.
"We were all shocked and saddened by Alex's passing at such a young age," says Del Giorno. "But we've found a great way to give back."
Koehne, for her part, finds the kids' spirit for giving back heartening.
"This means so much to me and my husband, and our girls," she said. "It means so much that these kids care about other kids who don't have what they have. It's great to see."
At this time of year, dealing with the devastating loss of her son is particularly hard, and when she sees the community coming together in his name, "It makes me feel good," she says. "I want people to remember him. Sometimes people don't know what to say, but for me it helps when people talk openly about the child I lost."
Alex's Promise raises money for scholarships for graduating seniors at Pierson as well as for cancer research through St. Jude's Hospital.
"Alex always loved helping children," says Del Giorno. "He was like a big brother to a lot of cousins and he comes from a big family. Being the oldest of four, he was always helping the kids, and the foundation honors Alex's memory by continuing that legacy."
This year, Del Giorno and the students at Epic are participating in Push-Ups for Pennies, where participants will do one push-up for every penny donated to the organization. Del Giorno kicked it off on Thanksgiving by doing 1000 push-ups throughout the day. She filmed herself in action so kids and donors could tune in to her web feed to see how she was committing herself.
"I kept going into the bedroom at my mom's and doing push-ups," says Del Giorno. "Every couple hundred I'd do another update. In the middle of one of my push-up sets my cousin came in and was like, 'Michelle, dinner!'"
By 11:45 p.m., she had finished 1,000 push-ups, and now she's asking the kids to join her. In sets of 25, even the four-year-olds are joining in.
"They all feel like they're giving in some way," says Del Giorno. "It's exciting."
And they are. Not only that, but they are loving it. When asked if they'd like to contribute to this article, the kids lined up to weigh in on why this is such an important cause.
Tori Markowski, Sara Schoen, and Lili Knibb, who are ages 8 and 9, wanted to share how good it makes them feel to help children in the hospital. Simone Batiste, age 9, feels strongly because of a personal connection to the cause.
"My friend had cancer and she was in 7th grade when she died," she says, "and I like to help."
Jhoziel and Erik Guanga, brothers, feel like they're really making a difference.
Colin Harrison, age 8, says that "Each push up we do is worth a penny, and so far we've got $200. All that goes to St. Jude's, which helps kids with cancer and other diseases."
Carson Tompkins, age 8, really likes it "because it gets kids exercise and it's for a good cause. You're not just doing exercise," he explains, "but you're giving to kids who are less fortunate. My mom won't give to Cheetah Serve or special fabric making companies, but she will give to St. Jude's. This one is special."
Johnny Nill, who just celebrated his 8th birthday, is Alex Koehne's cousin. He was a toddler when he lost his older cousin, but he still remembers him.
"It's a lot of work and it's hard," he says of the push-ups, "but I do it for Alex, and for the kids who are in the hospital. I remember Alex."
To make a donation to Push-Ups for Pennies or Alex's Promise, stop by Epic Martial Arts at 75 Main Street in Sag Harbor, or go to http://www.hicksvillekarate.com/sagharborny/ or www.alexspromise.org.

The computer desk inspiration is a new post from the series Workplace Inspiration, a post started a few days ago with the purpose to give you a few ideas, about a place that is present in any home, the computer desk. If you are reading this blog you might be already at a computer desk, so a little inspiration is always good. In the last post Workplace Inspiration I've presented 6 pictures with 6 beautiful workplaces. Today I present another 6 pictures but this time the computer desks are with dual monitors, it looks cool, and a little bit geeky. Enjoy !
10 comments
I already have a big desk. All I need: dual monitors
Also, why the hell would you have mac products? Ew.
I already have dual monitors…. Now I need a big desk
all i need is money =))
Nice, but what about people using it, what meaning has showing a desk
without asking people how they fiding working by it.
Would be nice to read what pisses them off or what they love about it.
i think it would be a good idea to include sources of these desks.
I particularly like #4, but now know nothing about it to go out
and buy it.
Has anyone seen a desk area surrounded by connecting shelfs (u-shape) so items are within arm reach from the desk top and associated equipment like printers, modems, wi-fi, speakers, radios, etc. can be in the shelving with wires hidden in a false back of the shelves with door access.
i big desk.
yes.. i can put my other component of computers,,
great post..

As a child I was very taken with anagrams and palindromes and similar wordplay. The interest waned or mutated over the years, but not fully, so when I stumbled upon Howard W. Bergerson's book Palindromes and Anagrams (Dover Publications, 1973) in Charlie Byrne's bookshop, available for all of €2, I quickly picked it up.
The book contains most or all of the well-known palindromes, like Madam, I'm Adam, Able was I ere I saw Elba, Live not on evil, and (maybe most famously) A man, a plan, a canal – Panama; to which, incidentally, J. A. Lindon wrote a parody: A dog, a pant, a panic in a Patna pagoda. Other enjoyable one-liners include:
Drab as a fool, as aloof as a bard.
Hell! A spacecraft farce caps all, eh?
Did I do, O God, did I as I said I'd do? Good, I did!
I saw desserts; I'd no lemons, alas no melon. Distressed was I.

What's so good?

"Lion, The Lion" is to be expected when taking into account the turbulent bass-driven stylings of EE and the experimental house meanderings of T.E.E.D -- the outcome is like one big endorphin rush. Amongst the fervent beat rises relaxed synths, punctuated by a library of random sounds. Translated to words, the track feels like the brain on drugs -- moments like epiphanies are quickly washed away with the chaos of thought.
Final summation: I like it, a lot, but the dynamic soundscape created in "Lion, The Lion" feels like T.E.E.D and EE are only just getting to know each other -- like the pioneer expedition into each other's minds. Though an excellent addition to any mix, I still have to wonder what else these guys could come up with now that they've cracked the surface. One can only hope there will be more collabs in the future.
"Lion, The Lion" (released via Crosstown Rebels) is available via Beatport.
