O Say Can You See: The Greatest Patriotic Super Heroes of All-Time
Comic Books
"There's a loosening up, and this is kind of current, at both companies in terms of what each company considers a comic, which is a ridiculous thing to say, because a comic is basically what sells. That's a good comic. Dick Giordano hated, hated, hated Lobo — hated the character, hated the book — hated him. But he understood that Lobo was a popular character, not his cup of tea, so he wasn't constantly after me to change and conform to his way.
That was, for a while, the way comics were being run. If the editor didn't like the direction a book was going, it didn't matter how well it sold — they'd get in there and start pinching and tweaking and fucking it up. But lately — and I know this for a fact, I've talked to people who actually make these decisions — it's loosening up. It's really loosening up. They're actually saying, 'You know what? You're always saying, "If I was left alone, I would do this and this and this. I'd make this book popular." Fine. The shackles are off. Go.'
I love that. I absolutely love that. I think if you're willing to go after it, I think comics are loosening up a little bit; the way they approach the market, the kind of stories they're doing, the kind of characters they're willing to put in their books. This is just, I'd say, within the last year that I'm feeling this. A couple of years before that — as soon as last year — they were pretty horrible."
– Justice League 3000 writer Keith Giffen, identifying a relatively recent loosening of the creative reins by DC Comics, and by Marvel
"I've never been asked how to write believable male characters. I have been asked how to write believable female characters, as if they're alien beings or something.
'How do I write believable women?' from male writers, is essentially asking how to write characters that are different from you. But all characters are different from you, or should be, unless they're you. Characters are individuals, not types. If you're writing them as types, you're doing it wrong.
All characters are like you in some ways, and not like you in others. How do you write the parts that aren't like you? Same as you do with any character. You have eyes, ears and a brain. You write from observation, experience, research and analysis.
If you're writing a woman, you're not writing a 'women.' Write her. That character, that individual. A person, not a category."
– Kurt Busiek, writing in response to the oft-asked question of "writing believable female characters" posed to comics writers
"I use the Gillette Pro power and skintimate shaving cream. yes, this is woman's shaving cream but as I learned many years ago from listening to tiny Tim of the Howard Stern show, you heard me :-), that most women's cosmetic products are far superior to the ones that they sell men. they are softer and they smell better.
"And that's why no skin bumps or razor burn for me.
"I often use strawberry scented and I'm telling you that at least three times a week a woman says: your head smells very good. if I was single, I know that this is a home run move I've been married for 18 years and I know my head smell has kept my marriage happy
"The new Gillette razor system that moves with the contour of your face is a disaster. do not buy it. it doesn't work.
"If this isn't quote of the day on robot six I'm going to be very angry "
– Brian Michael Bendis, responding to a Tumblr question about shaving his head
"I think cosplay and the growing social aspects of the convention scene are borderline magical. I think it's fantastic.
"My perspective is a little different than most because I take so much time in between conventions and when I'm there I'm working… but watching from behind by signing table and seeing people becoming friends online or just having a great time expressing themselves through costume and just sharing their love of whatever they love is amazing. My feeling is if you are a creator and your book or art or whatever isn't selling that is on you. And I'm talking about myself here as well. If something didn't connect with an audience, that's my problem, that's not the culture's problem.
"The culture shifts very quickly. Quicker than it ever has before. Most of the time I think for the better. But I think if you are trying to sell something to someone at a convention or anywhere you better take a good look at yourself and what you're selling and how much you are selling it for. You can't just show up at your table and drop your portfolio and sit back and wish of the sea to part. (which I see a lot of people doing) You have to have work out there, that is vital. You have to let people know what you have that is special and worth their time."
– Brian Michael Bendis, responding to a question about the effect of cosplay on comic conventions
"What we are learning is that the traditional idea of done-in-one stories not selling in comics just doesn't apply to the new audience buying the books, and believe me, most of that new audience are female. I think the problem right now is we have some people running the companies that just aren't going out and trying new comics or interacting with the next wave of readers and keep pushing things the traditional way they did years ago. The retailers themselves are seeing this happening daily now and I feel it's the reason Image Comics will continue to grow and eventually outsell the big two, unless they start thinking outside the box and just make superheroes a PART of their publishing plan and not the entire thing and start looking at the different ways a superhero type of book can be done. Harley is one example, Hawkeye is another. The traditional graphics people associate comics with have been changing for years now and the market is embracing different looks and styles that are outside the house style and its pretty cool to see."
– Jimmy Palmiotti, discussing the success of DC Comics' Harley Quinn, and the series' significant female audience
"I dislike the phrase 'strong female character.' Perhaps it began as a way to applaud the few realistic and complex female characters among the flat ones that merely play a role (mother, love interest, damsel in distress) in a hero's story. But we never hear 'strong male character' because that idea is default. Almost as if the idea that a female character could be strong is so unusual, so unexpected, that it's noteworthy. It's also become a way to justify that lack of female characters in stories. 'Yeah, there's only one female character in this show/comic/book, but she's STRONG!' Variety, diversity, complexity are more important than 'strength,' whatever that word means."
— Shannon Hale, co-creator of the graphic novel Rapunzel's Revenge and author of the novel Dangerous and the children's book Princess in Black, in an interview before her appearance at Salt Lake Comic Con. Growing up, Hale was a fan of the Wonder Woman television series, but she never read comics because, she says, "I thought they weren't for girls and simply didn't have access to them."
"We in the book community are in the middle of a sustained conversation about diversity. We talk about our need for diverse books with diverse characters written by diverse writers. I wholeheartedly agree. But I have noticed an undercurrent of fear in many of our discussions. We're afraid of writing characters different from ourselves because we're afraid of getting it wrong. We're afraid of what the Internet might say. This fear can be a good thing if it drives us to do our homework, to be meticulous in our cultural research. But this fear crosses the line when we become so intimidated that we quietly make choices against stepping out of our own identities.
After all, our job as writers is to step out of ourselves, and to encourage our readers to do the same. […] We have to allow ourselves the freedom to make mistakes, including cultural mistakes, in our first drafts. I believe it's OK to get cultural details wrong in your first draft. It's OK if stereotypes emerge. It just means that your experience is limited, that you're human. Just make sure you iron them out before the final draft. Make sure you do your homework. Make sure your early readers include people who are a part of the culture you're writing about. Make sure your editor has the insider knowledge to help you out. If they don't, consider hiring a freelance editor who does."
– Gene Luen Yang, in his speech about diversity, delivered over the weekend at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.
"We always listen to fans' concerns so we can do better by them. We want everyone — the widest breadth of fans — to feel welcome to read Spider-Woman. We apologize — I apologize — for the mixed messaging that this variant caused.
And that's what this cover is. It's a limited edition variant that is aimed at collectors. While we would not have published this as the main cover to the book, we were comfortable publishing this as a variant that represented one artist's vision of the character — a world-renowned artist whose oeuvre is well-known to us, and to collectors. It is not the official cover for the issue. It is a collector's item that is set aside or special ordered by completists — and it doesn't reflect the sensibility or tone of the series any more than the Skottie Young variant or Rocket and Groot Spider-Woman variants. If you open up the book, you'll see that this series has everything in common with recent launches we've done, like Black Widow and Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk and Captain Marvel. It's about the adventures of two women that have complete agency over their lives, and that are defined by what they do, not how they look.
We're far from perfect, but we're trying. It's been a priority for me as EIC to make our line and our publishing team more inclusive. We're at an industry high of around 30 percent female in editorial group, about 20 percent of our line is comics starring women, and our Senior Manager of Talent, Jeanine Schaefer, actively looks to bring more female writers and artists into the fold each month. In fact, very soon we'll be announcing new series and creators that I'm very excited about."
– Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, addressing criticism of the Milo Manara variant cover for Spider-Woman #1, in this week's "Axel-in-Charge" on CBR
"Posting this because as I walked past it today I was reminded that Powers co-creator Mike Oeming drew the first issues of Powers in a security booth for a parking lot in the middle of the night.
Full circle!!!
(And I know some people are working their nightmare jobs during the day or night and writing and drawing in their every waking moment of free time. it can be done.)"
– Brian Michael Bendis, posting photos — and words of encouragement — from the set of Sony PlayStation Network's Powers adaptation
"If you want to know my opinion on Milo Manara's Spider-woman cover, I'm going to have to disappoint you and say I feel super divided on it. I love Milo Manara!! It's a variant cover…so it's sort of an erotica variant! Of course, I'd also like to see Katie Cook do her own version…that'd make Marvel's choice seem a little less like a systemic problem. And yes, it's all a different story with context, but without context, it is a bit jarring and I don't negate that because the Internet really changes our experience these days. And the image itself does remind me a lot of images by artists I DON'T respect…I wish it looked more characteristically Manara instead of a Greg Horn illustration (sorry, Greg Horn! (Not that you care!)). Again, all that said, it's Milo Manara and if anybody should be able to do things how he wants, it should be him.
"That's not my point. My point is, it's not an easy thing to evaluate or explain what is okay and what's not. Some sexy drawings of women I can get behind, some I can't. Some of that's context. But a lot of it is what seemed like a weird intuition that I couldn't really pinpoint, until recently.
"The word that changes everything for me is 'personhood.' Does this woman seem like a person? Do they have life breathed into them? A personality? Or are they an object? Do they feel manufactured or repetitive? Would guys who like this appreciate that I am a living, breathing woman? Or would they complain I talk too much?"
–Rocket Girl artist Amy Reeder, responding to the controversy around erotic comic artist Milo Manara's variant cover for Spider-Woman #1. She goes on to give examples of women portrayed with and without "personhood" in a long and thoughtful post. Manara has also responded to the controversy.
"It was like trying to stop a force of nature. He was a sponge. The last time he came, he'd gotten a six-page assignment, and I went over what he'd done wrong, how he could make it better. He said, 'You're saying I have to draw it over again.' I said, 'Well, yeah.' He said, 'OK, but the problem is, I turned it in, and they accepted it.' I said, 'In that case, don't draw it over again; I think you just started your career.'"
— Neal Adams, discussing a young Frank Miller, who repeatedly stopped by his New York City studio for critiques. It's from Sean Howe's Wired profile of Miller, probably the best of a handful published ahead of the premiere of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
It's certainly the most unflinching, touching upon the effect of 9/11 on the artist and his work — "I think many people didn't get over it, that it will continue to affect their lives forever," Lynn Varley, his longtime colorist and former wife, says. "And I think Frank is one of those people." — the failure of The Spirit, the response to Holy Terror, the disappearance of All Star Batman & Robin, his tirade against the Occupy movement, and speculation about his health.
"The Dark Knight series is all from Batman's point of view. But if you look at Dark Knight 2, you'll see a Superman who's much calmer than the one in the first Dark Knight. Batman and Superman are dead opposites. I love Superman. Do I love Batman more? They're not people. They're only lines on paper."
– Frank Miller, in a Q&A with Playboy, on whether there's any truth to the belief that he hates Superman
(via The Comics Reporter)
"Everyone's like, 'He's so powerful, I can't relate to him.' Are you kidding me? He's the most relatable character ever. He grew up on a farm, he doesn't have a lot of friends, feels isolated, he can't tell everybody what his secrets are. He's a great character. He feels overlooked — who hasn't felt overlooked, or wanted to connect with people? All social media is, is people wanting to connect with other people. That's all it is. Because people long to connect with other people. And Superman is the embodiment of that. He's more relevant now than ever."
– Geoff Johns, discussing his approach to "a human Superman" in "The Men of Tomorrow" storyline
"Why has it endured? Because you, sir, can be Batman — you hang out with me, and you'll see. All you have to do is be crazy enough to fight crime 24/7, right?"
– Adam West, responding to a question at Comic-Con International about the enduring popularity of the classic Batman television series
"Certainly when you relaunch a whole universe, something like the New 52, you're gonna essentially create a bible that kind of guides and dictates the evolution and growth of the universe. We're in year three of that, and certainly every story that's created is done through the collaboration of an editor with the writer and the artist and the rest of the creative team. So I certainly think Mark Doyle coming on and becoming the Batman Group editor was a big part of that. I think it's also a recognition that our audience has evolved and we wanna make sure that we tell the stories that the audiences are craving. So we identified this need. We're coming out with these different kinds of storylines, and, frankly, it's exciting because we have a lot of Batman books, and I think it's a disservice to the fans and to the character to have everything feel of the same tonality. I'm a big fan of Becky Cloonan, so I'm really looking forward to her work on Gotham Academy. I think it's healthy for the business, and it's an exciting time to be a Batman fan."
— DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee, talking with Entertainment Weekly about the decision to take "the Batman world" in a different direction with the newly announced Arkham Manor and Gotham Academy. (He also mentions Batgirl among the developments he's looking forward to in the back half of Batman's 75th anniversary celebration.)

In 2011 he became the first coach in Bulldog history to lead them to a national title. It was a 3-2 overtime game against the University of Michigan at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He grew up in Hibbing, Minnesota where he went on to be drafted in the second round by the Montreal Canadiens (40th overall) and play collegiate hockey for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux.

Professional career[edit]
His NHL career included seven seasons, Canadiens (1986–88), Philadelphia Flyers (1990-91), and his home state team, the Minnesota North Stars (1991–92).

MONUMENT DRAW. Monument Draw rises in Lea County, New Mexico (midpoint at 32°27' N, 102°20' W), and enters Texas in southwestern Gaines County. It runs southeast for sixty-two miles across southwestern Gaines County to its mouth on Mustang Draw, near Farm Road 793 and the Hutex oilfield in northeastern Andrews County. The draw passes through rolling terrain surfaced by sand that supports grasses and nongrassy herbs.

right now i am learning C++, and now I know the basic concept of template, which act just like a generic type, and i found almost every c++ program used template, So i really want to know when are we supposed to use template ? Can someone conclude your experience for me about c++ template ? When will you consider to use template ?
Supplement: if we defined such function
template <class myType>
myType GetMax (myType a, myType b) {
return (a>b?a:b);
but we want to pass a object(self-defined class) for comparison, how can we implement ?
Supplement2: in the answer below, someone have wrote this sample code
template <class myType>
const myType& GetMax (const myType& a, const myType& b) {
return (a<b?b:a);
template <class myType, class Compare>
const myType& GetMax (const myType& a, const myType& b, Compare compare) {
return (compare(a,b)?b:a);
is this correct ? can we just pass a function name as a parameter of class myType ?

Lac-Megantic explosion: Amidst the devastation, life goes on
Lac-Megantic resident Norman Rondeau returns to his home to feed his cats. It was a bright spot in a terrible day.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
LAC-MEGANTIC, QUE.—It was 6:30 p.m., and he was exhausted and sunburned, but Norman Rondeau, 48, went back towards the flames. He had to: his cats were hungry.
The worst of the explosions made one of his cats, Bebite, jump out the window in fear. Bebite had reason to be anxious: she was a new mother.
Six weeks earlier she had given birth to three kittens: Noirot, Gizmo, and Lutin. They had been startled by the blast, too.
After a day sitting in the sun at the high school where evacuees were gathered, Rondeau knew his cats would need feeding.
So he got permission, he says, to return home with a police escort, a bag of cat food, and two jugs of water.
When he opened the door, the kittens and their mother went straight for what he was carrying.
"They didn't bother with me," he said, "they were looking for the food. So when they saw me, they came running."
"They were playing and everything was alright. They're so cute. Really cute."
It was a rare bright spot in a terrible, smoke-filled day.
Forearms bright pink from the sun, beard stained yellow from the Viceroys he smokes, and voice subdued with emotion, Rondeau described a harrowing day in Lac-Megantic.
Around one in the morning, Rondeau was sitting on his balcony near the train tracks when he saw a freighter speeding by, going at least 80 miles an hour, he says. Immediately, he knew something was wrong.
"It was terribly fast. I said 'What is going on?'"
Then he heard the crash, and the first explosion. Still, he stayed on his balcony: the wind was blowing the flames away from his apartment.
But at four, the worst of the explosions hit. "It was like a mushroom cloud," he says, "like a nuclear bomb."
There was so much radiant heat, his blue floral-patterned shirt felt like it was going to burst into flames.
Then, finally, with police urging, he evacuated his apartment.
Rondeau thinks a friend of his must be dead — the man lived near the explosions, and no one has heard from him all day.
"I'd like to see him alive and not in the newspaper," Rondeau said, "but I don't have big hope."
"I remember when I was 15, [I thought] the time is so slow, the days are so long. But now I realize I was wrong. Time is fast. Faster then lightning."

The topic of big data has come up many times in the course of my recent travels to meet with business and technology executives in the insurance industry. Sometimes these industry players are interested in what their peers are up to, some seem to have a clear mandate to handle some portion of it, and others are curious as to whether this characterization of the modern world is anything more than a marketing push by IT vendors. Ironically, big data can't be said to be at the core of the issue so much as it is the new wrapper around an existing situation. And it is a wrapper with more than a few layers.

A Definition
Before we proceed, a definition is in order. I will create my own version of what 'big data' entails from my readings and experience:

Big data is the nascent collection and storage of information from either existing or novel sources in combinations of such detail, depth, or at a sampling rate as to create files, databases, file systems, etcetera of exceptionally large size.

Early examples of big data could include the transaction data the Wal*Mart collected in its data warehouse for all its sales inventory and transactions which exceeded 10TB in the early 1990s. A brief sampling of prototypical examples today include:

Cellular Telephony – voice, texting, and data traffic have created larger data stores not to mention the complex billing records needed to charge for these services;

Radio Frequency ID tags – Supply chain management, security systems for retail and wholesale inventories, transportation tracking for toll collection and homeland security contribute large numbers of transaction that must be tallied;

Satellite data – Global positioning data, remote sensing (think weather & geographic imaging), communications and space telescopes all send down many terabytes of data per day. Some of this data is used in the insurance industry for risk management purposes;

Usage-based data for insurance pricing and underwriting – collecting real-time or batched information from moving vehicles at a rate needed to be useful can create petabytes of data which in turn may need to be expanded to be made useful for pricing, underwriting, and tracking purposes.

Out From the Past
Like last week's analysis of why financial services providers don't 'get' social media, some carriers are hesitant to acknowledge the value, if not the impact of what big data means to the industry. It used to be that insurers could rely on the mastery of a few chosen, timeworn industry metrics to succeed. Pick one or two, and nail down the processes that effect them, and then market yourself around lower cost, great service, or innovative products. The primary data required was in policy or claims administration system files, and a carrier would access external data as required from other industry sources. This created large files, but did not really cross into the big data sphere unless aggregated across many companies.

A Processing Core
All this still works of course, but such approaches will increasingly be deemed provincial as they fail to stand up to those companies that understand and exploit the value and knowledge within big data. One way to think about the productive use of and transition to big data for insurers is in terms of the aforementioned layers.

The information that in the past was sufficient to run an insurance operation can be considered the core of today's multilayered data diagram. Even getting that data to provide its potential value requires master data management and other methodologies that enforce consistency and quality. And this description of legacy data architecture really has the processing power at its center, with core systems data ringing it. The next ring out is now where large data sets reside – the data warehouses, external databases, and perhaps some growing big data stores.
 Layers of Success
The model of analyzing historical data tempered with some current information to connect the two elements will give way to more real time criteria from big data sources. Going forward, successful insurers will invert their processing and data layers to put relevant data at the core. The processing power will then ring it acting as a filtering mechanism to deal with the onslaught of big data. The ratio of historical core data to just-in-time information and knowledge will go from 90/10 to ranges more like 50/50, or eventually 70/30 or higher.

I'm Thinking
it will increasingly be the mastery and inclusion of big data elements that will support greater chance of success. Data isn't simply for retroactive analysis and batch processing even if business intelligence or predictive analytics tools exist to uncover greater levels of information and knowledge. Carriers that can effectively incorporate the data from RFID devices, Twitter feeds, and weather satellites into core processes are the future of our industry.

A final thought came to me upon rereading last week's posting about the uptake of social media by the financial services industry. My insight comes from working on an internal study of social media use in the insurance industry and how it's connected to big data. I contributed a couple of data charts about popular social sites and how groups of carriers ranked against each other in their use of those sites. The thing that we had to stress to our customers when presenting this work was that while action in the social media space is of course optional, the cost of inaction only rises with delay – it (social media) is happening all around you regardless of your stance. Social media is just one form of big data that can impact insurers, and to be sure, others are happening all around insurers as well.

Can your company adapt?

Very Poor Product
Best Uses
I purchased this machine last spring. After 4 months the control panel died. I spent nearly 4 months fighting with the appliance repair company servicing the warranty and waiting for the part. Finally the company replaced the machine as a good will gesture as I had waited so long. Well, four months into the new machine's life the control panel on this one has died. Do not purchase this machine no matter how great a sale there may be.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cleans Well
Easy To Load
Energy Efficient
Long Cycle
Best Uses
Four months after the warranty, and the control board at the top shorted out with a puff of smoke and a pop. A call to a service center told us that the part is $180 to replace, then with labor it would be better to just get a new dishwasher. We also had problems earlier with the dishwasher not draining completely several times over the first year. The repair technician told us that over the last two years, both Frigidaire and GE started using a different motor for the drain and that their overall quality has gone downhill in the past two years.

This dishwasher was included with our new home, else we would not have chosen this model. We are very disappointed that we have to replace it after barely more than a year.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
There Are None
Doesn't Clean Thoroughly
Doesn't Dry Well
Long Cycle
Best Uses
Looks Good When The Garba
JUNK. WASTE OF MONEY. Does not clean good even after running for an hour. Inside seal falls out. Door squeaks. I have bought lower line washers that have worked much better with no problems. But the wife wanted this one. JUNK
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Originally written on The Other Paper | Last updated 4/8/13
Lionel Messi may seem like a machine on the soccer pitch but when it comes to facing Japanese technology, the world's greatest soccer player is merely human. The Barcelona striker has been nearly unstoppable this season — as his 57 goals will attest — but Japanese computer geeks have come up with a goalkeeping robot that can apparently stop Messi in his tracks. Messi took on the mechanized man on a game show broadcast on Japanese TV this weekend and couldn't wipe the wide smile off the bot's face. The Argentine scoring machine took three penalty shots at the grinning goalie and was stuffed two times before the 82 mph kick on his third try deflected off the goalies hands and bounced into the net. In Messi's — and Mankind's — defense, the first spot kick seemed to be wide and his second attempt hit the upright. Still, managers in La Liga would love to know this robot's secret of intimidation. Artificial Intelligence 1. Human race 0. And the Apocalypse begins.

Multiplatform Audio Game
The goal of this project is to verify the audio games concept: is it possible to play computer games based on sound only? Can such games be attractive for both sighted and visually impaired players? Is it possible to control such games using only a touchscreen? And finally, can audio games attain commercial success and become a new trend in electronic entertainment? In this article we disclose the work we did over the last two years creating a commercial multiplatform audio game.

Respond to Review of Gasparito's
by Geri
Review: This place is notable on the island of Aruba because it has creative vegetarian options in the style of the local Caribbean cuisine, which are difficult to find in other island restaurants. (It also has meat and fish dishes for your non-veg companions). I enjoyed a crepe filled with vegetables, and also saw a creole dish with plantains and beans and other yummy inclusions on the menu. The wait staff are warm and friendly and happy to make items to order. The ambiance is lovely - the restaurant is also a gallery containing locally produced art, which helps to support the local community.

Jan Jakob Maria de Groot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan Jakob Maria de Groot (18 February 1854 in Schiedam – 24 September 1921 in Berlin) was a Dutch Sinologist and historian of religion. He taught at Leiden and later in Berlin, and is chiefly remembered for his monumental work, The Religious System of China, Its Ancient Forms, Evolution, History and Present Aspect, Manners, Customs and Social Institutions Connected Therewith. The two "books" of this detailed and well-illustrated treatise appeared in six volumes - and, according to the preface in the first volume, the System was originally meant to include several more "books".

ATLANTA - DECEMBER 06: Michael Vick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on from the sidelines during their 34-7 win over the Atlanta Falcons at Georgia Dome on December 6, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
Eagles head coach Andy Reid told reporters that rookie QB Nick Foles suffered a broken hand during Sunday's loss to the Washington Redskins, per Jeff McLane. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Eagles will most likely give Michael Vick another start in Week 17 when they take on the New York Giants. "He obviously deserves (an) opportunity to play," said Reid on Monday, per Geoff Mosher. "He's excited about it. … And ready to go." This figures to be both Vick and Reid's final game with Eagles, but Vick really has a lot to play for in this game. He figures to draw interest from one of the quarterback-needy teams, so a strong performance could at least increase his value to some degree. Matt Flynn secured a $19.5 million contract based on a single strong outing, so it's fair to assume that Vick could surpass that figure. The post Eagles Are Likely To Start Michael Vick In Week 17 appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors.

Speed camera prankster gets caught by police [video]
Remember that French prankster who pulled the Mario Kart stunt in the streets? Well, he's back and this time as a road side speed camera - that follows you!
Remi Gaillard is his name and after less than two days on YouTube he's already received 1.9 million views and growing.
"Disguised" as a mobile speed camera by the side of the road, airport runway, vegetable field or train rail, Remi flashes his camera as vehicles go speeding by.
But Remi isn't done with his speeding offenders; he turns around and pursues them down the road while sending off a barage of camera flashes.
That is until he flashes a police car who promptly stops and chases him on foot.
Oh well, better luck next time, Remi.

That's sick! The speed cam prank is a potentially dangerous distraction to drivers and machinery operators. Dpending on laws of the land, that may constitute an offense.

32bit compatibility problem with latest Linux driver
Mandriva Linux 2007.0 - GeForce 7800 GTX
old driver 9755
new driver 100.14.11
The new driver installed perfectly on 64bit AMD and Intel dual core systems. Everything worked flawlessly at 1920x1200. glxgears returned 18000 fps. Not so good with
Google Earth however. That was working fine but with the new driver there are no compatibility libraries in /usr/lib/. All OK in /usr/lib64; libGL, libGLcore, nvidia-tls etc. Google Earth cannot be made to work with the 64bit libraries nor will it use older libraries based on the previous driver. I always install without options but I tried reinstalling in expert mode which prompted for a directory root for compatibility libraries - I told it to accept the default /usr but still no libGL in /usr/lib. Does anybody have any experience of this problem or know how to resolve it?

Not a lot of of details yet but one of the announcements coming from the iPhone event now going on in Cupertino has some serious heft: John Doerr, partner at VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, announced from the stage that the firm will commit $100 million to a fund exclusively for iPhone applications.
From the Kleiner Perkins release: "The iFund, managed by KPCB, will be invested in companies with market-changing ideas and products that extend the revolutionary new iPhone and iPod touch platform. Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) will provide KPCB with market insight and support." Apple CEO Steve Jobs: "Developers are already bursting with ideas for the iPhone and iPod touch, and now they have the chance to turn those ideas into great companies with the help of world-class venture capitalists."
— iFund will be led by KPCB partner Matt Murphy in collaboration with partners John Doerr, Bill Joy, Randy Komisar, Ted Schlein, Chi-Hua Chien and Ellen Pao.
— initiative will be "agnostic to stage and size of investment" with a focus on areas including location-based services, social networking, mCommerce, communication, entertainment
— iFund is looking for entrepreneurs pursuing "transformative ideas with the potential to become standalone, public companies."
— As important as capital in many cases, KPCB will help on the company-building side.
More from the event: During his stage appearance, Doerr congratulated Jobs on the excellent job he is doing as Apple's CEO, calling him the "supreme commander of the rebels" and asking the audience to salute "The world's greatest entrepreneur Steve Jobs."
"We are all here today because we love Apple products," he said, adding that he "really loves Apple entrepreneurs — they do more than anyone thinks possible with less than what people think is possible." The reason behind the iFund is because "new platforms are very rare, but they can be transformational." He joked with the audience about how they pondered how much the iFund should be; he elaborated that EA took a few million to fund, Amazon.com (NSDQ: AMZN) received $8 million, and $24 million went to Google (NSDQ: GOOG). So, they made it $100 million enough to build "a dozen Amazons and four Googles."

I agree about Peter - I worry that when he gets up the rankings, instead of gaining in confidence, he seems to lose it. A couple of years ago he started losing a lot just after he got to be #1 Canadian. And now he has gotten himself to a new career high and he seems to be playing very passively. A qualifier is a tough draw, as it means someone who is playing well on this surface.
Vasek lost a close one to Seppi last year in St Petersburg: 7-5 7-6(4).
According to some reports, Murray said he is definitely coming to Toronto, but he'll decide whether or not to play depending on how he feels.

Deathgods, a YA Dark Fantasy novel. It's about life and death. But mostly, death...
More than two thousand years ago, Ronan watched helpless as his father, brothers and their little sons were burned alive in Wickermen on the shores of the Irish Sea by an enemy clan. Because of the beauty and symmetry of his features, Ronan was saved for a different fate. Strangled with a leather noose by the leader of the victorious army, he was thrown into a bog as an offering to their gods.
Luckily the bog spirit was in residence and recognized a quality offering when he got one. Ronan was taken through the portals to one of the Hidden Worlds and offered a choice by the Daemon lords: Return to the True Death or sacrifice his immortal soul and pledge to fight for the Balance between the worlds. He chose to fight, but not for the reasons his masters think.
When a searing blast of wild portal energy announces that the Lords of Misrule have declared war on the tenuous balance between the Mortal, Faerie, Daemon and the Spirit worlds, Ronan knows the waiting is finally over.
He follows the trail to Tokyo and the Japanese demon clans, the Oni, who hide and plot in plain sight. A Japanese white fox spirit, Yuki, beautiful and fierce, helps Ronan discover a disturbing alliance between the Oni and rogue Daemon Lords. The Oni have a cracked mirror that can be used to summon a legendary Witch Queen back from the Land of the Dead. With the mirror complete and under the full moon, she will have the power to bring the Portals between the worlds tumbling down.
On the cold northern coast of California, Ronan and Yuki find the missing piece of the mirror and the boy, Patrick, who has the power to restore it. He also holds the spirit of Ronan's ancient foe, reborn again and again for this one final act. Now, finally, the murderer is within his reach. Vengeance for his brothers' ghosts who haunt him still. Too bad our world must burn for him to get it.
Save the living or honor the dead? Hard choice to make when you already have both feet in the grave. Immortality can be such a bitch.

So we want to achieve a look that's a little bit more glamorous than what you would do during the day.
I'm going to stick to some silvers and some greenish blue colors on her blue eyes. Make those eyes sparkle.
Save your concealer for your last step. Pick up any debris of eye shadow that may fall down.
The idea is to make the makeup pretty and soft, yet a little bit dressier and some of the sparkle in these shadows will dress up this eye makeup.
Not too glittery, but more shimmery. Stay away from the frosted things and go to the sheerer colors that have just a little bit of sparkle for this night time look.
I'm going to use a matte shadow here in the corner just to create a little bit of dimension here. Very light touch to blend that shadow. Choose only one shimmery shadow at a time.
We're going to go ahead and highlight right underneath the brow.
The most flattering look here at this age is to keep things soft, but I am going to use liner. I'm going to opt for a brown, a rich brown.
And we're going right across the lash line on top. And make sure you get the product right into the root of the lashes.
Going to create an illusion of thickening up her lashes. And the brown is nice. It's a softer alternative to black.
I wanted to keep this makeup soft, but yet still give definition to her eye shape.
Let's go ahead and shape the entire eye. This is going to give her more of an open eye look by lining underneath and above.
Skin around the eye area is much thinner. Concealer is made to help correct what you see through. So it's a different texture than your foundation.
Make sure, though, it is creamy and it's going on a moisturized skin.
I'm also going to use an eyelash curler just prior to doing your mascara. Helps to open up the eye.
Let's do sable. Sable is a softer black. You want to concentrate applying the product to the outer corners first. If mascara starts to get dry, run your mascara brush under hot water for a second.
It'll clean the debris off your mascara brush and loosen up and soften the brush as well.
See how household products can help
you get healthy,
glowing skin.

But there are only two interior colors offered — black and sand.
Standard cloth seats have pleasant upholstery, while the leather-trimmed seats in the test CX-5 Grand Touring model looked upscale and provided good support.
The 41 inches of front-seat legroom was a welcome sight for a 6-foot passenger, and even back-seat passengers get a generous 39.3 inches. This is an inch more than what's in the back seat of the CR-V and compares with only 32.1 inches of rear-seat legroom in the smaller Juke.
Headroom is good, too, with 40.1 and 39 inches, respectively, in the front and back seats of the CX-5. These figures are more than what's in the CR-V.
Yet, the test CX-5 handled more like a confident and poised car than a taller-riding SUV. The driver felt a noticeable connection to the pavement surfaces, and steering had good on-center feel and crisp, but not twitchy, response. Road noise came through from the tires on all but the smoothest of asphalt.
The commendable body control, which reduced any tippy feeling in curves and turns, translated into a firm, but not harsh, ride.
One thing that surprised: The turning circle for this 15-foot-long SUV is 39 feet, which is larger than that of many other compact SUVs.
It's true the CX-5's 2-liter, double overhead cam, direct-injection four cylinder isn't as powerful as those of some competitors, including the RAV4 and CR-V.
The CX-5's engine torque peaks at 150 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm, and there were times during the test drive where the engine sounded buzzy and pressured.
But at idle, the test CX-5 was impressively quiet, and the tester averaged nearly 27 mpg in city/highway travel.
It felt good to have a normal-acting automatic transmission with six gears smoothly delivering the power, rather than a continuously variable transmission that can drone on and leave a driver wanting for pre-set shift points.
The test CX-5 performed well on city streets and flat terrain and exhibited some lugging when on uphill highway stretches with a load of passengers inside.
Mazda does sell a trailer hitch and states the CX-5 can tow as much as 2,000 pounds.
Standard safety equipment includes six air bags, electronic stability control and traction control.
The CX-5 earned four out of five stars in overall crash tests by the federal government, with top, five-out-of-five stars in frontal testing and four out of five stars in side testing.

YES it is!Originally Posted by robotpirates
It's nothing like Indy in Disneyland. Their ride is rollercoaster. The track wraps around a temple and the ride vehicles look like mining cars. The track has a loop 2/3 of the way thru the ride. It's not a very smooth ride. It shakes alot and the restraints are so close to your head you often keep hitting yourself. A few years ago they decided to run the ride backwards. My first time riding it was 3 years ago. Going through the upside-down loop the mining car didn't move fast enough and I started to feel myself fall up (or down?) then as we started to get out of the loop I got my head snapped back and hurt my neck. Then as the ride started to shake with the restraints & my head being only 1/8 of an inch apart I begun banging my head on each side. When the ride was over my neck hurt me & I had a heachache for the remainder of the day. I swore never to ride that attraction ever again and I haven't the past 2 times I've visited since then.

Specific language impairment is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments essentially restricted to the domain of language and language learning skills. This contrasts with autism, which is a pervasive developmental disorder defined by multiple impairments in language, social reciprocity, narrow interests and/or repetitive behaviors. Genetic linkage studies and family data suggest that the two disorders may have genetic components in common. Two samples, from Canada and the US, selected for specific language impairment were genotyped at loci where such common genes are likely to reside. Significant evidence for linkage was previously observed at chromosome 13q21 in our Canadian sample (HLOD 3.56) and was confirmed in our US sample (HLOD 2.61). Using the posterior probability of linkage (PPL) to combine evidence for linkage across the two samples yielded a PPL over 92%. Two additional loci on chromosome 2 and 7 showed weak evidence for linkage. However, a marker in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (7q31) showed evidence for association to SLI, confirming results from another group (O'Brien et al. 2003). Our results indicate that using samples selected for components of the autism phenotype may be a useful adjunct to autism genetics.

But currants were already growing wild across the northern United States. And breeders had long ago developed new strains of currants and pines that were immune to blister rust. The feds lifted their ban in 1966, but as of the 21st century, 12 states still had restrictions on the books. Among them was New York.
Quinn went to Albany, the state capital, and began knocking on doors. He returned once a week, walking the halls, leaving his business cards, and begging for appointments. But he made little headway—until one day, a Wall Street Journal reporter interviewed him for a story. After it ran, state senator Bill Larkin's office called to invite Quinn to Albany. Six months later, both houses unanimously passed a law allowing currant farming.
Quinn ordered seedlings from Canada and started planting. Now he just had to introduce America to the currant. Because of its strong, sharp flavor, the black currant was nearly always processed rather than eaten as a fruit. Juice seemed like the best option for reaching the most customers. The British product Ribena already did $200 million a year in the United Kingdom and Ireland alone and another $58 million worldwide. The pomegranate was showing the way in U.S. grocery stores, and açaí, a berry out of Brazil, was starting to hit shelves too. Neither was as high in antioxidants as the black currant.
Quinn started importing black currant juice concentrate to kick-start the market. Working with New Zealand growers, he combined varieties to develop a bottled concentrate called CurrantC. Now into its fourth year, CurrantC is making money.
Down the road, Quinn would like to fund studies and clinical trials to look deeper into all the health benefits—real, rumored, and legendary—of the black currant. "It's a big deal in the world," he says, "a super-fruit. I've got to keep spreading the word here. It's just too good to keep it a secret."

A: I spent nine months visiting all the farmers in countries with the largest currant growers. The languages I learned in the Army came in handy. I do business in Poland. My Czech is close enough that I can stumble through, and it's improving.
Q: What wisdom would you share with aspiring entrepreneurs?
A: Entrepreneurs see opportunities where others see problems. We're willing, even eager, to take risks and are generally more passionate about what we believe in. The single biggest problem is that we are often terrible when it comes to counting paper clips or managing people. I would strongly suggest delegating the day-to-day management to the best people as soon as the venture is up and running.
Q: What's the best advice you've ever received?
A: What I hear every time I fly: "Put the oxygen mask on yourself before you help anyone else." You can't help anyone if you yourself are struggling.
Q: Any tips for finding distributors for a brand-new product?
A: It takes a great product with a good story and a tremendous amount of shoe leather and hard work. Once we had our nectar in the bottle, we literally took it around in the trunk of the car calling on individual stores. When we had enough stores under our belt and some track record, we moved to the next level: taking it to larger chains and distributors and so on and so on.
Q: Do you have a business philosophy?
A: From an entrepreneurial standpoint, if you're not passionate about an idea, don't waste your time. There are too many other good ideas out there.
Q: How do you spend your downtime?
A: My favorite things are turning wooden bowls, fly-fishing, cooking, and gardening. When you're starting a new company, however, these often take a backseat.
Q: Did you ever worry that things wouldn't work out?
A: I'm more cognizant about what a failure will do to my employees and my family than to myself. The fear of failure is what drives me to succeed.

'Pan Asian' cuisine has come to be the norm in London, with chains like Wagamama, Tampopo and various spin offs the craze which started over 15 years ago has created. While Busaba Eathai calls itself Thai, the menu begs to differ, with items like 'Chinese broccoli with garlic and shiitake mushrooms' it definitely spans further than Thailand on the culinary map. Jasmine smoothies and asparagus fried rice are a couple of the unique combinations you can find at this buzzing Soho eatery.
The stylish low-lit restaurant has large square wooden tables that fit 8 people, operating in a shared table policy. The service is quick. If you are alone or with a friend and want a great view people watching, take a seat in the front and watch Soho's rich demographic walk by.
Located in the centre of Soho on Wardour street, Busaba Eathai celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Its overwhelming success has also spurred other branches.
