Wow, you gotta hand it to the Mormons, if they do land in the Big 12 (which should be called the Big X Conference), then they massaged the crap out of this conference deal.

BYU to the Big 12? Maybe. ESPN is Reportedly Involved in Discussions
College Football TheBigLead September 1st. 2011, 9:45am
Warning: College Football realignment rumors will run rampant for the next few days, perhaps even weeks. We'll do our best to sift fact from fiction.
Could BYU be the answer to save the crumbling Big 12? According to Jay Drew of the Salt Lake Tribune, BYU has been talking to officials from the Big 12 over the last week about the school's football program possibly joining what's left of the league currently being held together by silly putty:
A BYU source said the talks have included the school's desire to utilize its own television network, BYUtv, in a BCS automatic-qualifying conference much as it plans to this year. The talks have also included ESPN officials and even some input from Notre Dame representatives, whom BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe has referred to as "partners" in the past year.
It isn't terribly surprisingly that the Longhorns Big 12 reached out to BYU. The Big 12 is hemorrhaging teams, and one of the primary reasons is the Longhorn Network, because it has created a significant advantage (recruiting, partnership with ESPN) for Texas. So the smart move for the Longhorns would be to try and reel in another team with its own network, as if to say, "hey, these guys have their own network – see, it really isn't that big of a deal!"
Desperate schools with no other options (Kansas St., Baylor, etc) may just decide, "ok, fine, you win" … but what will Oklahoma do? The Sooners are a national power with a strong football tradition and unlike the dregs of the Big 12, Oklahoma will have suitors. Perhaps OU's academics aren't up to snuff for the Big Ten, but the Pac-12 will eventually come calling.
If you're Oklahoma, besides the Red River Rivalry – if Texas pulled this stunt with Texas A&M, you can be sure it'll hold the Red River Rivalry over OU's head – what's the point of staying? Kirk Bohls of the Statesmen, a veteran newspaper guy who I don't think has broken a story in conference realignment, but often tosses up wacky scenarios, floated this one last night: Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State are Pac 12-bound, which would create a Pac-16 beast that yes, would rival the SEC. If you're wondering what the logistics would be like of the Longhorn Network and the Pac-12 network …
The Longhorn Network gets folded into the Pac-16 as a downsized regional network, joining the six regional networks that already exist within the conference.
There's a lot to chew on in that sentence. Rumors! Weeeee!
I'll speculate this: Larry Scott, the Pac-12 commish, is aggressive, savvy, and on the make to expand. Frankly, I'm surprised the Big Ten and SEC are operating so slowly. If Scott gobbles up Texas and Oklahoma, his conference covers half the country and in terms of talent, is deeper than the SEC. [via the Wiz of Odds]

text: Protagonist and victims are women, and they all suffer some form of physical/emotional abuse in the hands of men. No wonder Hollywood wants to create its own version; It's an opportunity to insert the shocking and graphic scenes kept out of the Swedish film. The author's intent seems to be to upset and offend the reader into taking up the cause of violence against women, and is quite effective. I had nightmares for some nights after reading this book. The book is a page-turner that's hard to put down, and hard to shake off from your psyche after reading it.

Inner Circle
Regents Park
London NW1 4NR
London's Open Air Theatre is the only permanent professional outdoor theatre in Britain. With seating for more than 1,200, its steeply raked auditorium is one of the largest in London, yet those who attend say it is one of the most intimate. With every performance, the theater emanates a magical atmosphere, with a soft murmur of people exitedly watching, the breeze ruffling through the trees and the twinkling fairy lights hung all around.
Yet the theater is not just about an amazing atmosphere, it's about incredible performances too. The bold and dynamic productions are performed by actors with the most impressive dramatic credentials, leaving the audience in awe at the entire show and experience.

Last year, the Browns had a pretty pithy slogan: The name on the door is Cleveland(actually some people put the blame on last season solely on this). With the change in the front office and the Stalin-like secrecy we definitely won't get a Browns sanctioned slogan. So what would the slogan be if pithy still reigned in Berea this year? Browns Rant takes a stab.
Top Ten slogans for the Browns Upcoming season

I know, at least it's my understanding that gaining lean muscle mass AND losing bodyfat is very difficult. Although, this would be nice, I'm more concerned with gaining lean muscle mass while maintaining my current bf%.
Question: (Assuming proper nutrition and training program)
Is it possible for one to grow quicker by consuming an excessive calorie dosage (for bulking) and make up any fat increase by performing cardio.
Basically, I want to know the "nutrional part" of how to get bigger without getting fatter. Tell me what works for you. Thanks.

A platform in the classical Roman style on which a strange auction sale is taking place: a barbarian merchant is selling (off) a half-nude dancing girl and a muscular slave, as well as an astrophysicist and a plumber, very topical figures. A woman on a stage, dressed only in employment contracts, is literally stripped bare: though excluded from the labour market, she does not renounce her dignity as a woman.
"Precarillon (The music box of temporary employment)", "The Jobs Merchant" and "Cont(r)act" are just three of the performance acts conceived by the informal INCA,CH group. At one of its meetings, the International Network for Culture and Art (INCA) invited its partners to work, at local level, on the issue of youth employment, concentrating in particular on the problems associated with temporary employment and unemployment. INCA CH, an association founded in October 2010, brings together art professionals, educators, activity organizers and young artists and uses animation, drama, photography and multimedia to further its work. They believe in art as an instrument of individual and collective expression, an effective way of investigating topical problems and issues. They collaborated in this initiative with I LAVORATTORI, a project for young people aged 18 to 30, funded by the European Community's Youth in Action programme in partnership with the Swiss ch Foundation for federal co-operation. They made a special effort to involve disadvantaged youngsters or people at risk of social exclusion.
A dozen or so people took part in the meetings, which were held between April and December 2011 in Zurich, Lugano, Locarno, Bellinzona and Pregassona. The discussions were initiated by the participants themselves, supported by trainers, in an atmosphere favourable to sharing, experimentation and the development of new skills and abilities. Through drama, in the form of improvisation, dance and street theatre, they then tried to give expression to the various ideas that had emerged, and share them with the audience. "Precarillon" was staged at the Paravento Theatre in Locarno, during the Film Festival, while "The Jobs Merchant" was presented in Bellinzona, to coincide with the 2011 Ti Street Art event. Some very short filmed sequences were presented at the TRA Bar in Lugano and at a meeting of Tikinò (the Ticino video-makers association). "Cont(r)act" was also entered for the Corto Helvetico al Femminile, an international short-film festival. I LAVORATTORI then participated in the DO YOUth WORK? project, at another INCA meeting. Videos of these performances can be viewed on the Vimeo network on YouTube and on the INCA CH website (and on the organization's Facebook page).
The project was developed with the aim of raising young people's awareness of an issue of international interest, encouraging them to play a more conscious role in social life, and fostering an understanding of the importance of active citizenship. The discussions of the difficult employment situation were an opportunity for personal growth, and also for building relationships with other work groups, facilitating the participants' social and cultural integration. A valid alternative way of occupying young people during their leisure time, developing creativity and educating them in matters of diversity, solidarity and multiculturalism.

Last Woman Standing - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with a man and a young woman entering the hotel, but the woman decides to leave without going up to the room. The man walks into the elevator as another guy walks out. We then see another young woman waiting for the elevator to arrive. When the door opens, she screams at the sight; the man's throat is slit and there is blood all around in the elevator. Next, the team arrives at the scene. The victim is Peter Coe, a professional poker player. Morgan tells Russell that there is no surveillance in the hotel. The woman waiting for the elevator on the second floor saw Coe. Greg tells Russell that Coe did not suffer much because the splatter pattern suggests that an artery was severed.
They wonder how the killer got in and got out in seconds. The emergency exit doesn't seem to be disturbed. The killer seems to be very agile and there are no scuff marks on the walls. In the morgue, Robbins tells Finn that the COD is exsanguination. He says that Coe was wearing a bracelet on his hand. It is a bracelet that denotes his victory in '97. But he lost the same match last night. In '97, he had won a million; but his bank records show that Coe was broke. Robbins tells Finn that Coe had gotten a plastic surgery done; it is called the 'Poker Lift' where all the twitches, wrinkles etc. are taken care of to create a perfect poker face. There is some powdery substance on his shirt. Next, Nick and Sarah are at another crime scene; the victim is Trent Alridge.
David tells them that he died three hours earlier. His hands and legs are tied. They infer that he was having some wild sex. But then Nick notices something in Trent's mouth; it looks like a piece of raw meat. Next, Finn tells Russell that the mystery woman with Coe was also playing poker with him and she was the 'last woman standing'. The powdery substance on the shirt was pollen from a lily that was given to the woman. The woman is Eva Rendell. Eva has a website, "hotpokerbabe.com". She gives poker lessons and sells t-shirts. Eva is a Harvard graduate. We then see that Eva loses the tournament; 8 million. Morgan and Greg talk to Eva and she tells them that Coe was loved by everyone.
He had his problems; but he still didn't deserve to die. At the office, Sarah tells Russell that the girl who was with Trent gave a $100 poker chip to the waiter. He did not see her face since she was in the bathroom; but Sarah hopes that they can get a print. Hodges is working to find the murder weapon. He tells Russell that he did not find any metal alloy in the wound. In fact he tells Russell that he found traces of plastic in the wound. Later, Hodges tells Morgan his out of the box theory. He tells her that he thinks that the murder weapon is a plastic playing card. He says that the killer waited for Coe to get into the elevator and before the door could close, he flung the card at Coe.
He says that a plastic card in the hands of a right person could travel at a speed of 80 miles/hour. And it could be fatal. Henry arrives with a playing card that he found in the elevator shaft; it has blood on it. Megan is shocked. Hodges says that they have found their murder weapon. Next, we see a woman strapped to a chair and a card is flung at her neck and she starts bleeding. But then she laughs because it is tickling her. Jimmy, the magician, is pissed and he tells her that he wants to perfect it and so she needs to be scared since he cut her throat. She takes a break. Brass and the team arrive. They tell Jimmy that he is a suspect in Coe's murder. Jimmy tells them that he would never hurt Coe. They show him the Ace of Spades card they found at the crime scene and tell him that they want to check his cards.
He doesn't allow and burns the search warrant. He is arrested for obstruction of justice. In the morgue, Robbins is examining Trent's body and he tells Finn that he recovered seven chicken hearts from Trent. He also says that there are marks in his throat which indicate that there was a funnel pushed down his throat. Finn says that Trent was killed with 7 of Hearts and Coe was killed was killed with an Ace of Spades; this cannot be coincidence. Next, Nick tells Russell that the person, who shoved chicken hearts down Trent's mouth, also threw the ace card at Coe; there is a DNA match. Russell asks Nick to check for any similar cases. He feels that if the killer is laying a full hand, then they are going to see more bodies.
They find another case of Ed Ficelli, where he was poisoned with clover and, Russell points out that clover are also known as clubs. He then checks the drag marks on Ed's hand and it is similar to 4 of Clubs. So we have Ace of Spades, 7 of Hearts and 4 of Clubs. Nick says that these cards are lousy. Sarah arrives and tells them that the $100 poker chip that the woman gave the waiter has prints on it, which leads them to Eva Rendell. This means she was in Trent's room. Finn feels that it is too convenient and Eva is being set up. Brass finds Eva. She is dead and her head is severed from her body. Morgan is trembling at the sight. Brass interrogates Jimmy and Jimmy denies that he killed Eva. Finn tells Robbins that this time the killer could have used a weapon from the playing cards.
She checks for the Kings and the Jacks cards; the King of Diamond uses an axe. They narrow their options down to the axe. Hodgins tells Russell that the axe used to kill Eva was a 16th century axe, which is also called the war hammer. Russell wonders why the killer left the Ace of Spades at the crime scene. He wants Hodgins to check the card and find out any significant message or characteristics. Hodgins runs some tests and finds out that this is an old deck from the '90s which was manufactured for the '97 poker tournament. Greg, Russell and Finn watch the '97 poker tournament video, where they see that Bo Mattison, who is playing along with Trent and Coe, has a death hand (Ace of Spades, 7 of Hearts and 4 of Clubs).
Coe wins the tournament with two kings. A week later, Bo killed himself. Bo was a loner and divorced. Finn thinks that if Jimmy is their prime suspect, then there has to be some connection between Jimmy and Bo. Russell then finds out that four months ago, Jimmy ordered an axe. Nick, Morgan and an officer go to arrest Jimmy. They meet his apprentice and she tells them that Jimmy was here a while ago. He asked her to lay still and then went away. They check the closet and find the axe. There is blood on it; and Jimmy has pulled the vanishing act. Next, Greg tells Russell that he watched the video over and over again and he saw that Trent and Coe cheated. They communicated throughout the match through various signals and trapped Bo.
He also points out that the dealer was dealing the seconds. This means that Trent, Coe and the dealer together cheated Bo. And Eva is the dealer's daughter. It seems that Ed also ran the scam and he too was involved in cheating Bo and they all together drove Bo to suicide. So, the Ace of Spade, 7 of Hearts, 4 of Clubs and King of Diamonds has been used. Russell wonders who gets the King of Spades. But Greg points out that everyone from Bo's table is dead. Russell thinks that maybe the next target is Jimmy. They have been assuming that Jimmy is their killer; but he could also be their next victim. They know that Jimmy used to help Coe a lot and this also makes him the co-conspirator in the scam. Henry tells that he got a match on the epithelial on the axe; it is a familial match with Bo.
It could be a daughter. Morgan finally figures out the killer. She tells that they thought that Bo used to kiss the St. Catherine medal in honor of his wife; but she thinks that he did it for someone else. She tells them about Katy Hill; Jimmy's assistant. She thinks that Catherine is her real name. Russell gets a call saying that Jimmy's car was found outside the same park where Bo killed himself. Katy is going to kill Jimmy there. They arrive at the park and Morgan finds Katy. She tells her that she killed all of them to avenge her father's death. She says that they cheated her as well.
She tells Morgan that she killed Jimmy as well. But Morgan realizes that she is bluffing and she intentionally led them to the park. She calls Nick and tells him that Jimmy is still in the theater. Nick finds Jimmy. Katy draws a gun to shoot Morgan; but Morgan shoots her down. Case closed. Next, we see that Conrad has taken up the Sheriff's job and he and Morgan go out to celebrate. The episode ends.

The sys admin's daily grind – Converting to Btrfs
Btr's Better
Btrfs might not be complete, but conceptually, it combines so many useful filesystem functions that Charly couldn't wait to play around with it.
My desktop machine uses an old ext4-formatted hard disk, which Linux mounts as /opt/data. This is where I build and try out software. Every few months, when the disk is full, I dump the content of /opt/data into the trash. Because I never store any important data here, I would survive the long-anticipated demise of this ancient hard disk without shedding a tear. Today, I'm going to try out the Btrfs filesystem conversion on this disk.

WASHINGTON -- The global politics of austerity seeped into the press room of the White House on Monday, the day after the Greeks voted overwhelmingly to reject a harsh bailout deal with Europe.

The Kepler Mission has been a great success story for open science. The recent data releases have been on a fast and regular schedule and the data products are sometimes made public before the science office publishes their papers. Therefore, when the most recent installment in the "rate of Earths" saga—a discussion close to my heart—hit the ArXiv as Burke et al. (2015), I decided to see if I could reproduce their results by following the steps described in their paper. Crazy, right?

It was just four months ago, though it already seems like a lifetime away, when Greece's celebrity finance minister Yanis Varoufakis publicly stated that "creative ambiguity" won the country a "loan lifeline" from the institutions formerly known as the troika: the European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the International Monetary Fund. Despite the never-ending soap opera that is Greek crisis politics though, few would have imagined that the SYRIZA-led coalition government would succeed in outdoing itself in terms of its "creative ambiguity," by calling a referendum which, just days before the polls open, remains remarkably unclear as to its actual meaning and potential consequences.

Genevieve Vaughan offers a paradigm-shifting view of the structure of material and verbal communication, based on mother- child experience and confirmed by recent research in infant psychology. This view justifies a relational epistemology that informs the material gift economy as well as the structure of language itself. Provisioning economies give value to the receivers, and the circulation of gifts consolidates community. Understanding language as verbal gifting unites other orientation with reason to liberate us from biopathic patriarchal conceptions of humanity. Sketched against this background Vaughan introduces a conception of monetized exchange as a giftdenying and expropriating psychological mechanism, which is an unintended collective by product of verbal communication. This view stands as a warning against visions of the future in which the institutions of money and the market can be "fixed"to be more caring, and sanitized business as usual can halt the destruction of Mother Earth. Rather a gift economy, which takes as its model the mother-child interaction, the gifting in language and the gifting in mother-centered societies provides hope for a positive future.

The 4 Best Investments for Lazy Investors
by Wise Bread Jun 6th 2015 5:00AM
Here's good news for time-strapped investors: You can ignore your investments and still get rich. Here are the four best investments for lazy investors.
Here's good news for time-strapped investors: You can ignore your investments and still get rich. Here are the four best investments for lazy investors.
You don't need to be a gold bug to see the value of mixing this precious metal into your portfolio. It can be a good addition to your investment lineup.
There are financial advisers on every corner. How do you know which advisers work in your best interest or potentially profit at your expense?
In investing, being average is not such a bad thing. Trying to outsmart the market can actually lower returns in the long run.
You're ready for retirement in every way except your savings. Now what? Here are a few steps that may bring retirement closer within reach.
Investors get can get the benefit of diversification and earn income by investing in a real estate investment trust, or REIT.
Simplicity, tax efficiency and Warren Buffett's approval all favor index funds and ETFs. And don't forget those low, low management fees.
All transactions have tax consequences. Are you considering such consequences when maintaining your portfolio?
An ETF may ease investors' nerves by focusing on broad and relatively stable sectors: health care, financials, information technology and consumer staples.
Non-transparent, active exchange-traded funds by their nature carry a double dose of potential poison -- and they have high fees.
Only time will tell if gold gains regains its luster after a couple of years of unpolished performance.
Millions of Americans who invest in mutual funds should get ready for a tax shock. Your 1099 tax form is likely to show a bigger tax hit than ever before.
These two low-cost exchange-traded funds offer a set it and forget it portfolio -- but don't forget to rebalance periodically.
By looking at 2014's investment winners, you can see how identifying trends early can pay off with greater returns for your portfolio.
Don't be fooled by ETFs that look like stocks but have the risks of futures -- and are almost guaranteed to be losers over time.
Some ETFs emphasize market segments that tend to be less prone to big swings, and they may be safer havens in these volatile days.
It's never too early to start saving for your retirement. The sooner you begin contributing to accounts like a 401(k), the more secure it will be.
Global gold demand fell sharply in the second quarter as prices steadied following exceptional circumstances in the same period last year, a report shows.
A whistleblower suit by a former tax attorney alleges Vanguard has operated as an illegal tax shelter for nearly 40 years. The fund giant denies the claim.
If you want to be a savvy investor, you have to learn the jargon of Wall Street. Our new series starts out by explaining large cap, mid cap and small cap.
Gold? No. Oil? No. We're talking a truly vital commodity, one with long-term potential to rise in price. And now, you can easily add it to your portfolio.
When it comes to deciding which mutual funds to select, many investors feel overwhelmed. But making informed decisions is simpler than you think.
Because ETFs are baskets of assets, they tend to reflect market fundamentals, not "noise." Here's what the best so far in 2014 tell us about the trends.
Learning how to profit from America's aging demographic can be a minor form of consolation set against time's merciless tick-tock.
Reducing financial advice down to a single catchphrase might seem imprudent, but here's one saying that just might help you become a savvier investor.
As a former stockbroker, John Schmoll has been asked often how to succeed at retirement planning. Here's how he usually replied.
This digital currency is still mostly flying under the radar. Does this signal opportunity for savvy investors? Or is it a fad you'd be wise to avoid?
The toughest problem retirees face in today's financial markets is how to get a decent yield on our savings -- but there are stable, decent-paying investments worth exploring.
Frigid temperatures across the U.S. have naturally led to higher natural gas consumption, draining inventories and pushing prices up. But the weather is about to change.
ETFs are the new way to invest in the market, but one recently launched fund tracks old reliable companies that have been around since your grandparents were buying stocks.
Looking for an asset that's flexible like a stock but offers the diversity of an index fund? Your best option might just be an exchange-traded fund, or ETF.

A watermark embedded in a content (e.g., a printed document, digital audio, etc.) includes data that associates the content with a remote store of related data. For example, an image watermark may contain an index value that identifies a database record specifying (a) the owner's name; (b) contact information; (c) license terms and conditions, (d) copyright date, (e) whether adult content is depicted, etc., etc. Or a magazine advertisement may contain an index value that identifies a database record specifying a related URL. Sometimes there are several back-and-forth exchanges between the decoding device and the database. To speed response time, it is desirable that this traffic be exchanged with a database that is located close—in network proximity—to the device that decodes the watermark. In one embodiment this is accomplished by first querying a master database with the zip code, or other identifier, of the decoding device. The first database then responds by identifying a second, nearby database with which further traffic should be exchanged.
1. In a method that includes:
presenting a physical object to an optical sensor;
discerning from optical sensor data an identifier associated with the object;
transferring the identifier to an indexing system; and
determining from the indexing system an internet address corresponding to said object;
an improvement comprising:
sending user data to a master system, the user data providing information related to user location
at said master system, identifying an indexing system close to the user; and
transferring said identifier to said identified indexing system.
[0001] This application claims priority from provisional application 60/257,822, filed Dec. 21, 2000.
[0002] The present invention relates to routers, and more particularly relates to routers used in linking to computer resources based on data represented in digital watermarks, bar codes, or the like.
[0003] Digital watermarking is the science of encoding physical and electronic objects with plural-bit digital data, in such a manner that the data is essentially hidden from human perception, yet can be recovered by computer analysis. In physical objects, the data may be encoded in the form of surface texturing, or printing. Such marking can be detected from optical scan data, e.g., from a scanner or web cam. In electronic objects (e.g., digital audio or imagery—including video), the data may be encoded as slight variations in sample values. Or, if the object is represented in a so-called orthogonal domain (also termed "non-perceptual," e.g., MPEG, DCT, wavelet, etc.), the data may be encoded as slight variations in quantization values or levels. The present assignee's U.S. Pat. No. 6,122,403, and application Ser. No. 09/503,881, are illustrative of certain watermarking technologies.
[0004] Watermarking can be used to tag objects with a persistent digital identifier, and as such finds myriad uses. Some are in the realm of device control—e.g., tagging video data with a do-not-copy flag that is respected by compliant video recorders. (The music industry's Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI), and the motion picture industry's Copy Protection Technical Working Group (CPTWG), are working to establish standards relating to watermark usage for device control.) Other watermark applications are in the field of copyright communication, e.g., indicating that an audio track is the property of a particular copyright holder.
[0005] The present invention most particularly concerns watermark applications that encode data to associate an object with a store of related data. For example, an image watermark may contain an index value that serves to identify a database record specifying (a) the owner's name; (b) contact information; (c) license terms and conditions, (d) copyright date, (e) whether adult content is depicted, etc., etc. (The present assignee's MarcCentre service provides such functionality.)
[0006] Another watermark application that encodes data to associate an object with a store of related data, is so-called "connected content" technology. In such applications, a watermark in one content object (e.g., a printed magazine article) serves to link to a related content object (e.g., a web page devoted to the same topic). The watermark can literally encode an electronic address of the related content object, but more typically encodes an index value that identifies a database record containing that address information. Application 09/571,422 details a number of connected-content applications and techniques. The present assignee markets such technology under the brand "Digimarc MediaBridge." In the Digimarc MediaBridge offering, the system that associates object identifiers with corresponding computer resources is termed the "Grand Central" router.
[0007] In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a single router is not used. Instead, several routers are available, and are utilized in manners designed to speed system response time.
[0008] The foregoing and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description.
[0009] To speed response time in systems like those referenced above (including the Digimarc MediaBridge application detailed in application 09/571,422), it is desirable that the responding system be located close—in network terms—to the client application or device.
[0010] It has been the intent from the outset to have more than one Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router, and to field them at various locations throughout the US and internationally.
[0011] Based on the location of the user (using the country code or postal code they have stored on their computer or have given to Digimarc during the software registration process), we communicate with a specific Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router located closest to them geographically (or network-geographically).
[0012] When a user connects between their PC and a website hosted on a computer somewhere else in the world, the connection is not normally a single connection between just those two computers. The Internet isn't built that way. The Internet takes the user's request (specified via the Uniform Resource Locator—URL) and routes the user through whatever intermediary computers, routers and switches that seem appropriate at the time of the user's request. This mechanism is similar in many ways to making a long distance phone call. Each of the connections through an intermediary is called a 'hop'. Typically, the further away the URL is geographically located on the world-wide web, the more 'hops' it takes to make the connection. The more 'hops' the more latency is introduced as each intermediary point and the slower the actual response and the less reliable the connection.
[0013] All communication between the Digimarc MediaBridge reader/detector application and the Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router is accomplished by sending messages back and forth over the Internet. One of the ways that Digimarc improves the reliability of its service and can slightly increase its speed is to minimize the 'hops' in the user's connection with the Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router. The simplest way to do this is to find the Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router geographically closest to the user.
[0014] One approach to this goal works as follows:
[0015] The reader/detector queries a "master" router when the reader/detector application is first invoked, sending along the country or postal code from the user's computer.
[0016] The "master" router matches the country or postal code to the appropriate Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router—the one closest to the user and sends that reply back to the reader/detector application.
[0017] The reader/detector application now uses this supplied closest Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router for all future communications required to perform its ID to action association functions.
[0018] A simple 'hop' map currently might look like this
[0019] originating user in Glenmoore, Pa. 19343. Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router located in Tulsa, Okla.
[0020] Glenmoore to Paoli, Pa. (ISP dial in connection point)
[0021] to Philadelphia, Pa. (Internet "hub")
[0022] to Dallas, Tex. (Internet "hub")
[0023] to Tulsa, Okla. (Internet "hub")
[0024] to Digimarc Offices in Tulsa, Okla.
[0025] With a second Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router located in Philadelphia, the 'hop' map looks like
[0026] Glenmoore to Paoli, Pa. (ISP dial in connection point)
[0027] to Philadelphia, Pa. (Internet "hub")
[0028] to Philadelphia Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router
[0029] If the second Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router is located in New York, N.Y., the 'hop' map looks like
[0030] Glenmoore to Paoli, Pa. (ISP dial in connection point)
[0031] to Philadelphia, Pa. (Internet "hub")
[0032] to NY, N.Y. (Internet "hub")
[0033] to NY Digimarc MediaBridge Grand Central router
[0034] Application Ser. No. 09/571,422 also disclosed methods for handling watermark-based requests from client applications based, e.g., on the watermark's "type" and "number."
[0035] In an enhanced system, the client application can specify a router/product handler, allowing the Back Office facility to better load balance versus the associated watermark registry database. The client application can do this by appending a router name/number to the basic URL it now uses to communicate with the Back Office. Each of these "type-specific" Back Office router/product handlers can be responsible for servicing a specific, smaller portion of the entire registry database, speeding up their performance and keeping the consumer's perceived response time short.
[0036] This enhancement can be in addition to the "geographic routing" feature detailed above.
[0037] To provide a comprehensive disclosure without unduly lengthening this specification, the patents and applications cited in this specification are incorporated herein by references.
[0038] Having described and illustrated the subject technologies with reference to illustrative embodiments, it should be recognized that the invention is not so limited. For example, while the illustrative embodiment employed digital watermarking technology, the same principles can be applied in other contexts, such as bar code-based systems. Systems for linking to computer resources based on bar code indicia are shown, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,314,457, 6,154,738, 6,108,656, and 5,913,210.
[0039] The implementation of the functionality described above (including watermark decoding) is straightforward to artisans in the field, and thus not further belabored here. Conventionally, such technology is implemented by suitable software, stored in long term memory (e.g., disk, ROM, etc.), and transferred to temporary memory (e.g., RAM) for execution on an associated CPU. In other implementations, the functionality can be achieved by dedicated hardware, or by a combination of hardware and software. Reprogrammable logic, including FPGAs, can advantageously be employed in certain implementations.
[0040] It should be recognized that the particular combinations of elements and features in the detailed embodiments are exemplary only; the interchanging and substitution of these teachings with other teachings in this and the incorporated-by-reference patents/applications are also contemplated.
[0041] In view of the wide variety of embodiments to which the principles and features discussed above can be applied, it should be apparent that the detailed embodiments are illustrative only and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. Rather, I claim as my invention all such modifications as may come within the scope and spirit of the following claims and equivalents thereof.

The Bounty sails from Britain for Tahiti to obtain a cargo of breadfruit plants. Captain Bligh is in charge and he over-zealously enforces discipline by various methods, his favorite being flogging. Bligh cuts rations and works his men so hard that even first mate Fletcher Christian finds him hard to comprehend. In Tahiti, Christian and good friend midshipman Byam become involved with native women Maimiti and Tehanni. Tahiti is paradise compared to life on the Bounty under Bligh. When the Bounty is loaded and sets sail to return, the harsh treatment by their Captain is too much for the crew and Christian leads a mutiny. They set Bligh and his supporters adrift on a boat and return the Bounty to Tahiti. What they did not count on is the Captain's return.- Written by Gary Jackson <email@example.com>
The HMS Bounty sets off on a voyage to Tahiti to collect breadfruit plants for transplantation to Jamaica. The ship is under the command of Captain Bligh, a hard task master who is greedy and harsh with the men. He is quick to judgment doesn't hesitate to use the lash. The trip to Tahiti is arduous and for most of the men, they discover a paradise there. As difficult as it is, they leave Tahiti but the men, led by the ship's second in command, Fletcher Christian, mutiny casting Captain Bligh adrift with those few who remain loyal. The mutineers return to Tahiti and resume their idyllic life but soon find that Bligh has survived and is giving chase. Capturing some of them, Bligh returns to England with some of the mutineer's who face trial while Christian and the remainder find refuge on an isolated island.- Written by garykmcd

Product description
The first work of its kind to be written in the English language, "The Cloud of Unknowing" is a spiritual guide to contemplation from an anonymous English monk of the 14th century. It has inspired spiritual teachers from St. John of the Cross in the 16th century to such contemporary teachers of prayer as Basil Pennington and Thomas Keating. The author explains that ordinary thoughts and earthly concepts must be buried beneath a "cloud of forgetting" while our love must rise toward a God hidden in the "cloud of unknowing." While this medieval masterpiece has been translated many times, this edition is especially accessible to the modern reader and listener. William Johnston--an authority on 14th century spirituality and specifically on the writings of this unknown author--provides a substantive and accessible introduction detailing what is known about the history of this text and its relevance throughout the ages. Also included here is the author's other principal work, "The Book of Privy Counseling"--a short and moving text on the way to enlightenment through a total loss of self and consciousness only of the divine. Unabridged audiobook Six compact discs / 7.5 hours (approx.)

From SA side there is quad rider Sarel Van Biljon going, and bikers Glen Grundy & Brett Cummings on Hondas, as well as Darryl Curtis and Riaan Van Niekerk.
Did training and navigation course in Namibia recently and David got used to his new KTM RR 450 as well as worked out what all them gadgets on the handlebars were for!!
Dakar rookie, if you haven't been on this forum during previous Dakars, let me tell you that you've found home. If you are able to post any updates before, during or after the Dakar it will be enormously appreciated. Any bivouac/behind-the-scenes stories/pictures will be particularly appreciated. Thanks for posting in this forum!

Rep. Kiffmeyer's Column
Mon, 03/31/2014 - 10:44am admin
State Representative
Mary Kiffmeyer
Last week, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed $503 million in tax relief for Minnesota taxpayers and their families. Gov. Mark Dayton called on the Senate to pass the bill immediately so he could sign it into law. Consequently, my Sen-ate Republican colleagues and I attempted a procedural move to bring the bill out of committee and before the full Senate for a vote; however, our efforts were defeated by Senate Democrats. The bill remains in the Senate Tax Committee.
As I have mentioned previously, I am in favor of giving all of the $1.3 billion "surplus" back to the over-taxed and over-regulated taxpayers. The $503 million is only a part and not even half of the total.
Over the last two weeks, I held transportation townhall meetings in Otsego and Elk River with MnDOT District Three Assistant Engineer Terry Humbert. We had great conversations about the I-94 Corridors of Commerce project and other Senate District 30 transportation issues.
I recently introduced legislation that would procure state bond funding for a Hwy 101/Hwy 10/Hwy 169 intersection project (SF 2509). There is already a great support team in place to make this critical project happen. I will continue to do all I can with these local advocates to get this legislation passed into law. I will also support other funding proposals for this project.
Lastly, MnDOT is currently in the selection process for awarding innovation grants to cities across the state. The City of Elk River is being considered for a grant to fund a Smart System traffic light operation on Hwy 10. This system would allow for a string of green lights if there is no built-up cross traffic. MnDOT should be making a determination on these grants by early April. I suggest you call or e-mail Tom Dumont from MnDOT to let him know you support this grant. He can be reached at email@example.com or give him a call at 320-223-6540.
Medical Marijuana
A bill to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes is still being debated at the Capitol. It currently faces huge hurdles for passage and Gov. Dayton has publically stated that he will not sign it into law unless it has the support of law enforcement.
Minimum Wage
The minimum wage conference committee appears to be in a stalemate. The committee con-vened and immediately adjourned and no meetings are currently scheduled. The sticking point seems to be the House's insistence that the minimum wage should be increased to $9.50 and have it tied to inflation.
I believe an increase in the minimum wage to $9.50 is too drastic and would only hurt job hunt-ers and job creators. Raising the minimum wage to the federal conformity at $7.25 per hour seems the highest level most accepted.
Bullying Bill
The Safe and Supportive Schools Act also called the "anti-bullying bill" (House File 826) was considered, amended and passed by the Senate Education Policy Committee but remains highly controversial. The amended bill addresses some school administrations concerns about cost by allowing districts to impose a per student levy without voter approval which I do not find ac-ceptable.. The bill now goes before the Senate Finance Committee.
No matter how much the Democrats try to change it, this bill remains deeply flawed. It still con-tains language that allows for special protection of certain groups instead of protecting all stu-dents. It also still remains an unfunded state mandate for already budget strapped schools. Lastly, it relies on top-down state government involvement rather than local district control.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about MNSure or any other legislative issue.

- Duration of Kayleah Wilson's relationship with Montoya at issue
An 18-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting Kayleah Wilson frequently had sex with the 12-year-old while he was living with her and her family in their Greeley apartment.
Robert Laurencio Montoya also was accused by Kayleah of being a "stalker freak" after the her mother ordered him to leave her alone and he was discovered peeking in the windows of her school, Brentwood Middle School, in Greeley.
Court officials unsealed a Greeley Police arrest affidavit Wednesday, detailing their case against Montoya, who is in the Weld County Jail on $100,000 bond. He was arrested last May 19, hours after Kayleah's body was discovered in a drainage ditch in southwest Greeley.
Kayleah was reported missing March 28 and police and search crews combed the area around her apartment for over two months until her badly decomposed body was recovered last week.
The Weld County Coroner ruled her death a homicide.
Montoya was arrested by police on two charges of sexual assault against a child after their investigation of Kayleah's disappearance uncovered the sexual relationship between the two.
Montoya is considered a "person of interest" in Kayleah's murder.
April Wilson — Kayleah's mother — told police Montoya moved into her home in October 2009.
Montoya's own mother — Roxanne Montoya — had asked him and his sister to leave because she wanted a man identified as Jonas Garcia to be able to visit her at her residence. Garcia couldn't be around children because he was a registered sex offender, the affidavit said.
April Wilson said she didn't see signs of a sexual relationship between Kayleah and Montoya until he confessed to her in January 2010.
Wilson kicked Montoya out, but saw her daughter and Montoya together again in February. She again told Montoya again not to see Kayleah, police said.
Montoya told police he had been involved sexually with Kayleah until the middle of February. He also told police Kayleah would try and get him to "physically abuse her during their sexual encounters."
Police said during interviews with Kayleah's friends, they said that she had commented about possibly being pregnant.

Apple Runs Two New iPhone TV Ads
Apple has posted two new TV commercials, the sixth and seventh in the series, if you keep track of them as they go by. Number six, entitled "Instead", focuses on the iPhone's digital music capabilities, highlighting the fact that iPhone eliminates the need to carry two devices (iPod + phone).
The seventh ad, titled "Amazing", essentially recaps all the wondrous things iPhone can do, like browse the internet for DRM cracks, look at porn, take photos of your spouse cheating on you, etc.
You can view both ads on Apple's website now.

I was walking down that same street the other day, when I noticed a bunch black thugs standing around doing nothing and I had a terrible feeling that they were up to something evil. Guarantee that if you go there next month or in a couple of months and you walked down that same street you would see the same people and experience the same things I felt. That's just the way it is!

Islam instructs its followers to do so!!! Make no doubts about it the west is either deliberately ignorant or is being deceived!!!

Racism needs to be defined. My definition: To make clear personal observations of truths about the races and their differences. People are different, just because I am making personal observations of races isn't a bad thing. To be prejudice or to pre judge a person because they are different, I believe that's wrong, but that's a totally different topic than racism. It's an insult to my intelligence to say that there are no differences between races. Jews are different than Muslims, women are different than men, white Europeans are different than Asians. Black African Americans are hung over on this topic because of slavery. Their race has played a major role in slavery for 1000′s of years. Darwin's evolutionary theories were created to keep the black race in slavery. Christians made "Racism" a bad word because of Darwinism. To be a Racist or Scientist was really just the study of a particular field. Racism studied the differences between the races. So in my personal observations, Black people tend to glorify pimpin and whores (Ex. Beyoncé and Jayz given the royal treatment in the White House). You can disagree with me on that by saying white people do this or that but I am NOT saying all Black people believe that but there are greater numbers that do within their racial culture.

4 major reasons why this immigrations issue is seriously being used against the USA: 1) consider the high rate of unemployment, we are experiencing the worst economic crisis in almost 100 years. Why would our govt allow an open border policy- LAWLESSNESS! considering we are at war for the safety of the American people an open border policy is TREASON! 3) Consider diseases and Ellis Island all people need to be screened before entering our country. Why? EBOLA! 4) Consider if any one was to cross a border of any other country (like China Iran Russia) I would expect to get shot for breaking the law! Sovereign Nation! Yet we still have him as President? Something is really wrong the only explanation is God is Judging this country and we are to be blamed.

I went to a walmart in Vally Stream long island NY for a piece of furniture. I went with a Asian woman and we were the only white and Asians there. Expect for a couple of white people that looked like crack heads. And another white couple that was speaking Spanish. By me stated this does it make me hate Black people? No way! I hate no one but the Devil and his tricks. I went through the whole store and the place was a mess and the furniture department was a bunch of ripped boxes with pictures.. So we walked in and through the whole store and left. 200-300 black people looking at me and my friend like what are we doing there? Pot smokers in the parking lot and when we left we talked about it. And we asked are being racist? It was like something out of the planet of the apes. Why no Asians, Indians, or whites? Are they afraid to go there? The answer my friends is yes! Unfortunately if people think what I am saying is racist then the problem will get worst not better!!!

After 6 years, this guy knows exactly what he wants. If he's not talking to you, it's because he doesn't want to talk to you. If he needs a break after 6 years, he's probably on his way out of the relationship.
If he's not in regular contact with you, sending a gift will only give you something to worry about. "Did he get the gift? Why hasn't he called me?" You'll have sleepless nights and tear your hair out.
I've been in a similar situation, so I know how twisted up you might feel.
But if he doesn't want to get back with you, there's nothing you can do to change his mind.
Moving on is probably best for you. It's difficult after 6 years, but I think it's the best.
Good luck.

Godiva chocolates are among the best there are (I'm a real expert, believe me!). I don't know their price in the US.(you might be stretching your budget or overdoing it)
A present can be an excuse to meet again and to get over past disputes. Or not. Depends on how hard you did hurt him and if he found someone else.

You cannot make somebody wants you back. Especially by bribing! Only him can decide if he wants you back etc. Well, whatever you've put into the 6 years relationship is done now. He might miss you and want you back or he might not. If you haven't gotten that closure, I suggest you should tell him whatever you want or need. Then, move on.
