I had an unpleasant encounter with some Virginia wildlife a couple of weeks ago.
It was fortunate that I was going around one of the very sharp curves on Rt. 43, on my way up to the Peaks, when the kamikaze deer got me. I was not going fast and, as there wasn't anybody close behind me, I was able to hit the brakes, minimizing the damage to my car. The impact still was enough to knock out the grill, buckle the hood and crack the bumper.
This week legislation was introduced in Congress to make sure the National D-Day Memorial continues to fulfill its mission: Reminding all who enter it of the heavy price that this nation's communities have paid, and still pay, for freedom.
Congressman Tom Perriello and U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Jim Webb have begun the process to bring the Memorial in Bedford under the supervision of the U.S. National Park Service. The legislation, which calls for a study on the proposal, has been written in consultation with the Memorial.
Honoring those who participated
Like numerous other D-Day Memorial Volunteers, I was on hand for the 65th Anniversary Commemoration on Saturday, June 6, 2009. It was a great experience seeing the number of D-Day Veterans in attendance, especially Bob Slaughter and long time family friend Hubert Hobbs, from Roanoke.
From every corner of the 5th District, I hear about how folks are struggling with the lack of broadband internet access. Two weeks ago, I hosted a roundtable discussion on rural broadband, this time in Altavista after the last one in Rocky Mount. At the roundtable, the need for better broadband access was made abundantly evident, and I will use the stories and strategies offered by citizens to be a more effective advocate for rural broadband back in Washington. Here are some of the stories I heard:
Across a vast ocean, 11 boys from Bedford, Virginia are buried overlooking the windswept beaches of Normandy. Bedford lost 19 during the D-Day liberation…the greatest proportional loss suffered by a single town on that day. In words inscribed on the wall of a chapel that lies amidst the rows of crosses we are given the following charge: "Think not only upon their passing. Remember the glory of their spirit."
Last week, President Barack Obama was in Cairo, Egypt to give a speech that his administration billed as an appeal to a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim world. It did not disappoint.
I got to spend the end of last week in the company of heroes.
On Thursday and Friday, I attended the Overlord Echoes conference, hosted by Liberty University and the National D-Day Memorial Foundation. Along with the historians, several World War II veterans spoke. There were soldiers, including a silver star recipient, a P-51 pilot and an airborne soldier who arrived in Normandy on D-Day via a glider.
As a student at Forest Elementary School, Kelsey Shelton found out early on it paid to go to class, receiving certificates and awards for perfect attendance.
So she set as one of her goals in life to not miss a day of school. This week, that goal became reality.
Jenny Creasy and Carolyn Rogers of Roanoke looked intently at the map. They were searching for the spot where their uncle, Joseph Comer Sr., had been dropped during the Normandy invasion that began June 6,1944.
Comer had been a member of the 82nd Airborne at D-Day. He, along with his nieces and son, attended Saturday's 65th anniversary commemoration at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford.
Their numbers are thinning.
Dr. William McIntosh, director of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation, notes that thousands of D-Day veterans showed up for the D-Day Memorial's dedication in 2001. Hundreds showed up for the 60th anniversary of the largest amphibious assault in history. There numbers were smaller at Saturday's 65th anniversary, but a number still made it and had stories to tell. Building bridges under fire

Amlin Challenge Cup review: Wasps crush Grenobe 47-7 to go top of Pool Four
Last Updated: 07/12/13 11:22pm
Joe Launchbury: Man-of-the-match in Grenoble
Wasps regained top spot in Pool Four of the Amlin Challenge Cup with an impressive seven-try 47-7 mauling of Grenoble in France.
Charlie Hayter scored twice as Wasps gave another demonstration of their title credentials, chalking up their third straight victory in the competition which puts them four points clear of Bayonne.
In a tight opening 10 minutes, Joe Carlisle missed two early penalty chances, but the scrum-half was instrumental in the first try.
But scrum-half Joe Simpson then made a superb 25-metre break and his long pass handed Will Helu - playing against his former club - the space to run in from 35 metres to score the opener after 13 minutes.
Then Hayter's break on 22 minutes allowed Guy Thompson to score his first try of the night to earn Wasps a 14-0 half-time lead.
Wasps extended the lead five minutes into the second half. England lock Joe Launchbury - outstanding all night - was held up just short of the line, but Thompson bulldozed over.
Bonus point
Hayter sealed the bonus point when he went over in the left corner after a deft chip from Carlisle and brilliant offload from Launchbury.
Grenoble finally got on the scoreboard when flanker Cedric Beal smashed his way over from a scrum.
Wasps were, for a spell, down to 13 with Kearnan Myall and Carlo Festuccia both down injured.
But Hayter sealed the victory when he intercepted a dreadful pass and ran in for his second try.
Jack Winter-Moates stepped off the bench to finish a break by Tom Lindsay in style six minutes from time before Josh Bassett completed the rout.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 5/1/13
The Bruins were not firing on all cylinders at the end of the regular season, and it falls on coach Claude Julien to find the right combinations for the playoffs, which begin Wednesday night. That appears to include sitting defenseman Dougie Hamilton for Game 1 of the Bruins' best-of-seven series against the Maple Leafs. Julien said Wednesday morning that Hamilton will most likely not be taking the ice in Game 1. Coach Julien was asked if Hamilton would be a healthy scratch tonight...he said "probably" ^CS— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) May 01, 2013 Hamilton got off to a great start this season but saw less playing time as the year wound down, appearing in just eight of the Bruins' 14 games in April. Hamilton has played more cumulative games than any of his teammates this year after playing in the OHL while the NHL was in its lockout. Julien also said that Nathan Horton, who is coming back from an upper-body injury, will be a game-time decision.

French AdBlock case shows crisis – and inertia – of advertisers
December 11, 2014 | 3:00 pm
A case in France being contemplated by Le Geste, the professional organization of online publishers, and IAB France, which dictates the standards for online advertising in France, against AdBlock Plus, the internet ad blocking software, and its parent Eyeo GmbH. As reported in Les Echos, the case is on the basis that AdBlock Plus threatens their business - and that Eyeo is effectively extorting money from them by offering partnerships that circumvent AdBlock. Actually, it appears that criticism of Eyeo is fully justified - and doubtless it doesn't hurt in France that the culprit is German - but that does little...
Is this the first-ever TV commercial about e-book lending?
February 19, 2013 | 8:57 pm
Good e-Reader ran an interesting post earlier today about Oklahoma's Metropolitan Library System, which took the unprecedented step back in December 2012 of advertising its e-book lending services on broadcast television. According to the post, the 60-second spot was developed by the library system's own IT department. It ran for about two weeks on the area's Fox and CW affiliate stations, and for roughly a month on local cable channels. And as the library system's marketing director, Kim Terry, explained, "over 1,700 new customers began using our eMedia site since the commercial started running, which was a 22 percent increase over the previous month." Perhaps not surprisingly,...
Amazon Kindle Fire HD One-Ups iPad Retina Screen in New Ad (Video)
February 6, 2013 | 12:26 pm
"You may not be able to tell the difference," says the advertisement's narrator, as both the iPad and the Kindle Fire HD sit side-by-side displaying the same images. "But your wallet definitely can." Amazon's new 30-second ad draws the comparison in screen resolution between the iPad and the (new, larger) Fire HD 8.9-inch screen. Visually, the Fire looks awesome. Actually, both tablet screens do. I feel that strictly based on just screen clarity, sure, either would be a sufficient choice for new tablet owners. But the Kindle Fire HD's $299 price tag sure does appear as the 'nice price' alongside Apple's $499...

Originally written on Fox Sports Detroit | Last updated 11/20/12
ALLEN PARK, Mich. Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola shakes his head when he thinks back to when teammate Jeff Backus suffered a torn biceps during the playoffs last season. He was trying to wrap it and go back in the game, Raiola said. There was like a minute left in the game and we were down two or three scores. That will give you an example into the mind of Jeff Backus. Backus streak of 186 consecutive starts at left tackle -- every game during his 12-year career -- is in serious jeopardy this week. Backus left Sundays game against Green Bay with a hamstring injury, missed practice Tuesday and is unofficially considered doubtful for Thursdays game against Houston. Backus, who wasnt available for comment, has the third-longest active streak, behind only Tampa Bay cornerback Ronde Barber (209 straight starts) and Washington linebacker London Fletcher (189). Backus' streak is actually 187 if you include the playoff game. I know hes going to do everything he can, Raiola said w...

Norton 360 is the best!10/2/2012
I have been using Norton (Symantec) Antivirus for years and have never had an issue with them or has their AV missed an attacker. I like 360 because if the Identity safe (maintains my passwords and speeds up logging in), PC tune up tools, keeps my PC's running, performing at their best.
as expected10/1/2012
good price-on time delivery-no problems
Norton 3609/29/2012
Norton is one of the best out there. It does not suck up system resources like other virus and spyware programs. Have been using this product for 4 years and have not had any issues at all. It does an excellent job.
They work fine but the sound is a little tinny.
product arrived in well-kept condition.

I can't seem to login on the chess app on my android smartphone. It says invalid password token. But I can log in fine on the site. What should I do?
I have exactly the same problem. After logout I can't login. After pressing the login-Button nothing happens. Yesterday everthing worked fine.
Same problem with Android app, except I'm already logged in to my old session and nothing is able to refresh. If I knew how to log out and log back in (without reinstalling the app) I'd give that a try.
"Re-login required."
"Invalid login token supplied."
That is, what I have done. And the consquences of that I reported. This (logout and login) doesn't solve the problem.
Sorry you're having issues logging in! Just for general information you can log out of the app by going to the app settings.
Can you all please let me know which versions of the app that you're currently on? Are you using the beta app? Thanks for your help!
I am using Chess Version 3.0.118 on android 4.3
Thanks for the quick reply. We have decided for the time being to revert to version 2 of the app (prior to the redesign) while we get the issues worked out of version 3. So if you can please go into your application settings, find the Chess.com app, clear out the app data, and uninstall, you should be able to go to the google play store and install version 2 again.
If you prefer to stay on the redesigned version, we do have a beta available :) The official Google+ community is here > https://plus.google.com/communities/103811010308225325535
There will be instructions on how to partcipate in the beta app on the upper right hand corner :)
Version 3.0.118, cleared data and tried to login but nothing happens (no error message or feedback) when I enter my un:pw.
I have the same problem, nothing happens when I click on "sign in". However, it works fine when using wi-fi instead of 3G.
@Heler- What network are you using for your 3G service? Are you able to log into the website using the same 3G service and your mobile browser?
My provider is Colruyt Mobile in Belgium. It is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) which uses the Mobistar network. It worked properly until a few days ago and Yes, I could log into the website using the 3G + web browser. I could not play properly however, since the regular live chess seems to be too heavy for the mobile.
Also, when I log in under the Wi-fi and cut off the Wi-fi, it stays connected to the server using 3G, I can also disconnect normally, it is only the log in operation that fails.
I cleared the cache nothing improved.
I cleared the application data, nothing improved.
I uninstalled and re-installed the application yesterday, nothing improved. Current version is 2.0.36
Finally, the problem is concomittant with the time I started to use Wi-fi at home on my Mobile instead of 3G, but I don't know if it is related.
Me too,I can't log in even I entered right password and right username. Nothing happens when i click sign in.I installed and reinstalled nothing happened . I wanna log in without using chrome. It's really easy to use the app
Hi, I'm suddenly having the same problem. I was getting the invalid login message and the app wouldn't refresh, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, now I can't login at all (login works fine on the site though).
I'm suddenly geting this issue today. Tried logging out and back in. Tried reinstalling. No luck with either. I have version 3.0.175.any fix for this?
I can access through the site fine.
Edit: fixed now not sure why.
Had the same issue today also. Tried installing Facebook app and could login through Facebook. But invalid token errors and no refresh. I logged back out and disabled WiFi and could successfully log in through my LTE connection and see my pending moves. Try this as I notice this app seems finicky when switching to WiFi. If no data on your phone try rebooting your phone or toggling WiFi off and on. Let me know if this helps
Same problem...

Fiesta Azteca, the lively Mexican spot that won "Best Mexican Restaurant" honors in last year's Pitch "Best of Kansas City" issue, is leaving Raytown next month to move into bigger quarters in Lee's Summit.
Owner Andres Orozco has had great success over the last seven years in the small location at 7534 Raytown Road -- too much success, in fact. His business finally outgrew his dining room.
"We should be open in the new location in four weeks," Orozco says. "Everything is lined up and ready to go."
The new location, a former Pizza Shoppe & Pub at 705 Southeast Melody Lane, offers Orozco three times the dining space he had in Raytown: "We'll go from 50 seats to 150 seats," Orozco says.
But what about the Raytown venue's wildly busy decor? In last year's Pitch review of the restaurant, I described the interior design as having "enough Mexican flags, streamers, banners, beer novelties, sombreros and serapes to fill a soccer stadium." Does Orozco have enough stuff to line the new walls?
"Oh, yes, the new dining room will look the same," Orozco promises.

The downturn in the economy could bring about major changes to the pattern of suburban sprawl development.
"Higher gas prices and living expenses are cutting into the pros of living outside an urban area and commuting in to work. Stacey Vanek-Smith reports on how the economic downturn might affect urban sprawl."
"In compact cities like Portland, Ore., people spend about 10 percent of their discretionary incomes on transportation. In sprawling metropolises like L.A. and Atlanta, it's more like 35 percent and climbing thanks to rising gas prices. Policy Analyst Jan Mueller says that could make city living look a lot more affordable."

This luxury design feature has been suggested to you by The Concierge:
Traditional boxy cots with a prison-like, barred view of the world are a thing of the past for today's designer-clad tots.
Australia-based Ubabub has revolutionised the crib by creating a beautiful cocoon-shaped replacement with acrylic sides to allow babies a bar-free view of the world. It's the brainchild of Melbourne parents Natasha and David Dumais who couldn't find any "designer" nursery furniture when their first daughter was born, so decided to create their own.
The Pod Cot has sleek, rounded edges and is more like a piece of sculpture than a functional item.
Made of plywood from renewable plantations, its clear, acrylic side panels are decorated with laser-cut shapes to allow air flow but keep little fingers safe.
Parents can gaze adoringly at their little one and the baby can gaze at the rest of their luxury nursery! Apart from its strong eco and safety credentials, the Pod transforms into an uber-stylish junior bed, thereby prolonging its life as a gorgeous piece of statement furniture.

KDWP is offering a voluntary electronic registration process for hunters who want to transport their deer meat and/or antlers, leaving the rest of the carcass on site. Most deer permits require the deer carcass to be transported with the head attached, so that the species and sex is evident. However, transporting certain parts of the brain, spine and carcass can potentially spread chronic wasting disease (CWD), and many states prohibit hunters from bringing a complete deer carcass from a state with CWD. The electronic registration process allows the hunter to take photos of the deer with permit attached, send those photos to KDWP through the internet, and receive a registration number. With the deer registered, the hunter can transport the deer meat and antlers.

iTWire's editor, Stan Beer, wrote an article earlier today titled 'I need a 3G iPhone and a cheap sub-notebook', which was followed up some time later by iTWire colleague Stephen Withers who proceeded to explain 'Why an iPhone isn't a modem'.
Of course the iPhone IS a modem, or rather, has one inside. It wouldn't be able to surf the web, do email, bring up Google Maps or let you watch YouTube videos otherwise.
Stephen went on to explain that while 2G iPhone has an 'unlimited' data plan, this was able to be prised from the carriers' grasp by Apple because data accessed through the iPhone was only ever meant to be used on the iPhone itself, and not wirelessly or through the iPhone's USB cable with any other device.
The explanation is that the iPhone already uses large amounts of data. Let people use it as a wireless modem with their computers, and that data usage will go up exponentially – something carriers didn't want to happen, especially when their plans were nominally 'unlimited'.
The fact that the iPhone's unlimited data plan (which isn't strictly unlimited anyway, depending on which country you're using an official iPhone in) wasn't meant to be used with other devices doesn't mean the iPhone can't be used in this manner.
iBrickr creator Nate True showed how to do it months ago (while warning AT&T and other official providers might get very upset if they found out), although whether the slightly complex hack still works with the latest 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 iPhone firmware versions is unknown.
Virtually every other relatively smart 2G, 3G or 3.5G mobile phone can be tethered, via USB cable or using Bluetooth, to PCs and Macs. When used in this manner, wireless Internet access can be quite expensive – unless you are signed up to a mobile data plan.
In Australia, 3 Mobile went to market with an AUD $20 per month plan giving 500MB of downloads (with uploads counted towards the download limit), a $30 per month plan giving 1GB of data and $40 per month plan giving 2GB of data on X-Series compatible phones (which included phones such as the Nokia N95, the LG Shine and a range of others).
Even Australia's dominant telco, Telstra, has a $59.95 monthly plan offering 400MB of data, a $89.95 monthly plan offering 1GB of data and a $114.95 monthly plan offering 3GB of data – with those prices available for PCMCIA/Expresscard and USB modems, or when using your existing 3G/3.5G mobile phone as a tethered modem. While these prices are expensive, they are much cheaper than the regular 'casual' pay-as-you-go wireless data plans.
So, why can't Apple and their telco partners offer the same kind of deals to those who want it, or let users pay whatever the (likely expensive) 'casual' rate for wireless data? Please read onto page 2.
Why the iPhone SHOULD be a modem
- 05 March 2008
- By Alex Zaharov-Reutt
- Published in Mobility
The current 2G model iPhone can't officially be tethered to a notebook and then used as a wireless Internet connection, although hacker extraordinaire Nate True figured out how to do it anyway some time ago. But despite arguments that the iPhone's data plan explains why it currently isn't an official tethered modem, such arguments are nonsense: it's my iPhone and I should be able to use it as a modem if desired, even if it costs me more money.

The impact of privatisation on firm performance in a transition economy: the case of Vietnam
The Vietnamese privatisation programme, launched in 1992, differs from usual Western privatisation programmes in terms of the residual percentage of shares owned by the state and the portion of shares transferred to insiders. This begs the question whether these differences influence the effects of the programme on firm performance. This study measures the impact of privatisation on firm performance in Vietnam by comparing the pre- and post-privatisation financial and operating performance of 121 former state-owned enterprises (SOEs).We find significant increases in profitability, sales revenue, efficiency and employee income. In addition, an increase in employment and a decline in leverage of newly-privatised firms is found, although the changes are statistically insignificant. Regression analyses reveal that firm size, residual state ownership, corporate governance and stock-market listing are key determinants of performance improvements.

Storm the Harris hawk was drafted in to Peterhead three weeks ago on the orders of Aberdeenshire Council after locals complained about being harassed by gulls.
But the seabirds turned the tables on their predator and have been filmed bullying the hawk while he huddles on a rooftop.
The council claims their actions are "false gull bravado" and have hailed the pilot project, which ended yesterday, as a huge success. Heather Barclay, project officer for Peterhead town centre, said: "It's really just false gull bravado.
"They swoop in and dive-bomb a few times, then fly further away, before slinking away quietly. Feedback from local people has been very positive."

All eyes on Pakistan [1]
Almost no one believes that the ISI could not have known of Bin Laden's whereabouts.
Almost no one believes that the ISI could not have known of Bin Laden's whereabouts.
by George Eaton [2] Published
Tweet [3]
Now that Bin Laden has gone to a watery grave, attention is focused on the role of Pakistan. Almost no one believes that he could have rented a mansion in Abbottabad, within a mile of "Pakistan's Sandhurst", without the knowledge of the Pakistani secret service (the notorious ISI [4]).
Ming Campbell and Rory Stewart are among the British politicians who have argued that it is not credible for Pakistan to claim it did know where Bin Laden was hiding.
Elsewhere, Amrullah Saleh, the former head of Afghanistan's national security directorate, has declared [5]: "Does Pakistan want the whole world to believe that the intelligence agency of a nuclear state did not know OBL was there?"
In an apparent attempt to deter suspicion, the ISI claimed joint responsibility for the operation but, as Barack Obama said in his statement [6], it was carried out by a "small team of Americans". He did, however, state that "our counterterrorism co-operation with Pakistan helped lead us to Bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding".
But, during a White House press briefing [7] on the raid, a senior administration official pointedly noted that "we shared our intelligence on this Bin Laden compound with no other country, including Pakistan". He added: "That was for one reason and one reason alone: we believed it was essential to the security of the operation and our personnel. In fact, only a very small group of people inside our own government knew of this operation in advance."
In other words, the US simply did not trust Pakistan with the information.
UPDATE: Abdullah Abdullah, Afghanistan's main opposition leader, tells [8] the Guardian: "It is very worrying that after ten years this man could only be captured in an operation that was kept secret from the Pakistani intelligence service. Just a few weeks ago, the Pakistanis were insisting that the US military and intelligence operations should be stopped in Pakistan and their agents should leave the country."

We were spoilt as there were only 6 of us for this tour but we enjoyed every minute of it. I particularly loved the fact that we were all encouraged to watch out for wildlife and our guide was informative as well as amusing. This is a very peaceful place and a taste of something very different to the theme parks
June 2014
Very nice tour and the guide was very informative. We saw a lot of animals and had perfect weather.

It's summertime. Your new gTLD applications are in, the jury (or in this case, the ICANN Board) is still out on batching, and Initial Evaluation is just barely underway. We couldn't blame you if you wanted to kick back, relax,

Body Language - Expressions

Here's a comment from Keith Norbury on the Kurzweil response post that I agree with:
It looks as though Kurzweil and Anissimov are both quibbling. I had similar thoughts as Anissimov did when I scrolled through the predictions in The Age of Spiritual Machines. But I also thought, well, Kurzweil is just a little hasty in his enthusiasm. Yes, there's a danger in setting firm dates for predictions of technological progress. However, because he makes them, Kurzweil gets people's attention. Even when he is wrong on the exact date, he is still able to point to a trend that indicates he will be right soon enough (in most cases). So far, though, the dates have passed for the easier predictions. It gets harder going ahead.
Kurzweil's main point is that technology is improving exponentially not linearly. That's a difficult point to grasp. However, we still don't know if even exponential growth is enough to tackle some sticky problems, such as simulating human intelligence. Nobody knows where the goal posts are yet. Nor do we understand yet the principles involved in uploading a human mind to computer, never mind the engineering it would require. The answers might be just around the corner, or they might be a long way away. Time travel, for example, is possible under the laws of physics. However, the huge energies required pose a giant obstacle to making it a reality.
I'm now reading Kim Stanley Robinson's excellent Red Mars, which points out the difficulties in making predictions. It's speculative fiction but also hard science fiction. The trouble is, though, that the hard science in Red Mars is the science of 1993 when it was written. In the book, the voyage to Mars took nine months, as predicted using the technology that was proven in 1993. Since then, an ion propulsion system is well along the road to development that promises to shorten the trip to about 40 days — when it happens. That certainly doesn't look like it will be by 2026, as in Red Mars. One could argue that Robinson wasn't being a futurist when he wrote Red Mars. However, at the time he was striving to imagine as accurately as he could, based on the knowledge available, what that future mission would look like. Unfortunately, he didn't imagine that humans would develop a better technology for getting to Mars, even though the principles of ion propulsion were already well known back in the 1990s.
My guess is that Robinson, in writing Red Mars, was thinking too linearly about technological progress and not in the exponential way that Kurzweil does. That's what sets Kurzweil apart from other intelligent people who speculate about the future.
I agree with Kurzweil that many important technological metrics are improving exponentially, and that his linear-thinking critics are incorrect. I have always argued that major change is likely in the relatively near future. I regard a Singularity at 2029 or earlier as definitely within the realm of possibility. I am a "Singularitarian" of the type that Kurzweil describes in his book. Much of my life is focused around the idea of a Singularity, similar but not the same as Kurzweil's idea of the Singularity. I object to Kurzweil's statements that MNT and nanorobots will certainly be a reality in the 2020s. I object to a lot of other things. I agree on the broad outlines of exponential change. I do not think Kurzweil is an "idiot", as Singularity Hub misleadingly claimed recently. I think Kurzweil is a genius and I applaud him for making predictions at all.
It is much easier to criticize than to make predictions, I admit that. I believe that Kurzweil's model is a good framework, and my model of the future is extremely similar to his relative to the mainstream. Still, the fine points are worth arguing. My main focus is on the points themselves. Perhaps I should have just listed the items and not even called them Kurzweil's predictions, so I could criticize them at will without in any way threatening his reputation. In any case, I don't think that Kurzweil's reputation is at risk here. As he pointed out, I just poked at 7 out of 108 of his predictions in the book. I apologize for the sensationalist title of my original post — I didn't mean that ALL of Kurzweil's predictions for 2009 had failed, just "Here's a few failed predictions that I found on this specific web page and I agree with".
I'm sure that everyone is interested in seeing Kurzweil's point-by-point analysis of his predictions in The Age of Spiritual Machines. Considering the concerns raised by those seven predictions I mentioned, I think a thorough review of the book is in order, and I'm pleased that Kurzweil himself has taken up the task. I gave the original post a provocative title because I strongly believed that investigation would benefit the entire futurist community, and I hoped to start a conservation on it. In that respect, it appears to have succeeded.

REGION: Riverside County imposes 10 percent pay cut on officers
Olivier said the county also suspended the regular step raises, effective June 2.
A good annual review typically triggers a two-step bump up the deputy wage scale and a 5.5 percent raise, Olivier said.
She said the county also imposed a pension-benefit reduction for future hires.
In keeping with the Board of Supervisors' new policy, officers hired after some point in late June will qualify for pensions equal to 2 percent of their annual pay for each year worked, instead of the 3 percent that existing retirees draw.
The county also shifted the eligibility age for retirement to 55 from 50.
McNamara said this is the first time the deputies have had conditions imposed on them since about 1980, saying supervisors have "presided over an unprecedented decline in labor relations within our county."
Stone disagreed.
"I think it was a very fair imposition," Stone said. "Unfortunately, the RSA had their blinders on during this negotiation."
Buster said he isn't worried that the imposition will exact long-term damage on the county's relationship with the association.
"We've seen that this union will fight everything, every step of the way," Buster said. "I don't know how much worse that can get."

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 2/2/13
Stephen Gallacher holed a dramatic eagle down the stretch to win the Dubai Desert Classic Sunday, overcoming early jitters to beat playing partner Richard Sterne by three shots. Gallacher finished with a 22-under total of 266. Looking for his first European Tour win since 2004, Gallacher (71) had a nervous start. The 111th-ranked Scotsman had a three-shot lead over Sterne but bogeyed the first two holes while Sterne birdied the second. The two traded places several times after that, as each struggled in windy conditions. Sterne twice took the lead on 8 and 10 but then fell apart on the back nine with four bogeys in his final eight holes. Gallacher, meanwhile, holed a sand wedge on 16 from 115 yards for an eagle that gave him a four-shot lead.

40 still missing in deadly Canada rail crash, fire
"We've had a very good safety record for these 10 years," Burkhardt said. "Well, I think we've blown it here."
Joe McGonigle, Montreal, Maine & Atlantic's vice president of marketing, said the company believes the brakes were the cause.
"Somehow those brakes were released, and that's what is going to be investigated," McGonigle said in a telephone interview Sunday. "We're pretty comfortable saying it is the brakes. The train was parked, it was tied up. The brakes were secured. Somehow it got loose."
Lauzon, the fire chief, said firefighters in a nearby community were called to a locomotive blaze on the same train a few hours before the derailment. Lauzon said he could not provide additional details about that fire since it was in another jurisdiction. McGonigle confirmed the fire department showed up after the first engineer tied up and went to a local hotel. Someone later reported a fire.
"We know that one of our employees from our engineering department showed up at the same time to assist the fire department. Exactly what they did is being investigated so the engineer wasn't the last man to touch that train, we know that, but we're not sure what happened," McGonigle said.
McGonigle said there was no reason to suspect any criminal or terror-related activity.
The train's oil was being transported from North Dakota's Bakken oil region to a refinery in New Brunswick. Because of limited pipeline capacity in the Bakken region and in Canada, oil producers are increasingly using railroads to transport much of the oil to refineries.
The Canadian Railway Association recently estimated that as many as 140,000 carloads of crude oil will be shipped on Canada's tracks this year — up from just 500 carloads in 2009. The Quebec disaster is the fourth freight train accident in Canada under investigation involving crude oil shipments since the beginning of the year.
Harper has called railroad transit "far more environmentally challenging" while trying to persuade the Obama administration to approve the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Greenpeace Canada said Sunday that federal safety regulations haven't kept up with the enormous growth in the shipment of oil by rail.
"We think it is safe. We think we have a safe operation," McGonigle said of carrying oil by rail. "No matter what mode of transportation you are going to have incidents. That's been proven. This is an unfortunate incident."
Associated Press writer Rob Gillies and Charmaine Noronha contributed from Toronto.

That's great Mage, you are lucky to have a gf who watches sci fi with you. Last night I watched the first ep of Bab5 and was going to watch the second but wasn't up to The Soul Hunter at 2am. It's such a rich series though, if you skip some ep you will always miss out on character development of someone. I'm really looking fwd to my rewatch and seeing all the foreshadowing.
She never really like scifi. I wanted to rewatch the first two seasons of nuBSG, but she didn't. One sunday, while she was behind the laptop, I just started watching the pilot since she wasn't doing anything anyway. After 15 minutes she was next to me on the couch, loving it. We still need to watch seasons 3 and 4.
Then I wanted to see B5, but she said scifi still wasn't her thing, and that she only really though nuBSG was cool. I said she should give it a go, even though season 1 was pretty hard to get through. But she became hooked pretty fast.
After that, convincing her to watch DS9 was easy. As she stated yesterday, she'd like to give TNG a try, after seeing Generations, although she already feels shows set on spacestations are more her thing.

History relative for Duke's Smith | TIM ETHRIDGE COLUMN
INDIANAPOLIS - On Saturday night, after scoring 19 points in Duke's 78-57 victory over West Virginia, Nolan Smith didn't want to talk much about his father.
But there's no doubt that Derek Smith will be on Nolan's mind tonight when the Blue Devils tip off in the national championship game against Butler.
Thirty years ago, about a mile away from Lucas Oil Stadium at the since demolished Market Square Arena, Derek Smith helped lead Louisville to the 1980 NCAA title — popularizing the "high-five" along the way.
"It crosses my mind a little bit," Nolan Smith said on Saturday night. "But I'm playing for myself and I'm playing for my Duke team.
"You know, I let my mom do all that thinking about my father's footsteps, all that. I'm just playing for Duke basketball now."
Nolan understands that his father would be proud. For the relatively brief time they were together, Derek made that plain.
Derek was bouncing around the NBA, first as a player and then as an assistant coach, as Nolan was growing up. But 14 years ago, when Nolan was 8 and the family was on a vacation cruise, Derek slumped over and died at dinner, apparently of a heart attack.
Earlier that day, Nolan said, his father had offered some advice. Nolan had lost to an older boy while playing one-on-one and had reacted badly, tossing the ball over the rail and into the Atlantic Ocean.
"He told me you had to have the right attitude to play the game," said Nolan. "Now I know how he would play, how he would carry himself. He told me to play every game as if it were my last."
Developing into a star in Upper Marlboro, Md. (Derek's last job was as an assistant with the then-Washington Bullets), Nolan considered following his father to Louisville. But, with some quiet advice from then-Duke assistant Johnny Dawkins, he chose to blaze his own path.
At Duke, he was a fairly deep reserve as a freshman, averaging 5.9 points. He was a part-time starter as a sophomore, boosting those numbers to 8.4. And he blossomed this season, as a third option to talented teammates Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler. He averaged 17.4 points and scored a career high 29 in the Final Four-clinching win over Baylor and was named the South Regional's Most Outstanding Player.
"Nolan has played as well as anybody, especially in this tournament," said coach Mike Krzyzewski. "He guards the ball well. He's our best guy as far as breaking somebody down at the end of the (shot) clock and we give him the freedom to follow his instincts."
Derek Smith was much that way, too.
He was a sophomore when Louisville won the 1980 championship, averaging 14.8 points without the benefit of a 3-point line. He averaged just over 15 both as a junior and senior, then spent 10-plus seasons in the NBA, having back-to-back 22-plus point seasons for the Los Angeles Clippers in 1984 and '85.
His mom and Derek's widow, Monica Malone, sees father in son.
Although Derek was 6-6 and Nolan is 6-2, there are plenty of similarities on the basketball court, from the style of stretching and warming up to the habit of biting fingernails. "Oh my gosh," Monica Malone, who has remarried, told The Washington Post. "If that wasn't Derek, I swear."
And where one goes, goes the other.
Nolan Smith has a tattoo of his father's face on his arm, with the words "forever watching." Each day during the tournament, he said, he pulls out his father's championship ring and "think about how much I want one of my own."
"It's crazy to think he won it (with Louisville beating UCLA 59-54) 10 blocks from here," said Nolan. "It's no coincidence. I know he is looking down."
