Was just at a Joann's and noted a couple new things:
1-this "deal of the day" business. They now will have 1-3 items on sale, just for one day. Some of the discounts are pretty impressive. I realize it's an attempt to lure you in on a frequent basis, but could save people some dough if stopping at the store isn't out of your way.
I needed casa lace for a niece's wedding and it was 70% off on thurs.
2-I was surprised to find a pretty large collection of fall knits, mostly prints. Many were very soft and very nice. I haven't seen a selection like that there for a long time. I bought a few for fall/winter T's.
3-they had a group of 100% cotton wovens, mostly plaids, that I would probably use for lounging/pj pants. Talk about soft, this stuff is wonderful!
After many years of so-so offerings, I was pretty excited to see this stuff. I went in with no interest in buying anything non-wedding related, and walked out with a bag.
70% off is pretty fantastic and would definitely get me thru the door-- even at JA! Do you have to go in the store to find out the deal of the day or do they do email??
I'm glad to hear they have some nice soft cottons. I remember being able to get those for a song at JA a decade ago. One was a yarn dyed blue and white fabric that reminded me of graph paper which I made into a night gown and wore until it fell apart. It was soooooo soft. I'd love it if they would start stocking things like that.
Thanks for the heads up DFsews!
------Not keeping track of my stash anymore... just trying to sew it up and not buy more!!!
Good to know, thank you!
I actually bought one of my all-time favorite fabrics (a great quality print acetate slinky) from Joanns. So I know they sometimes have excellent fabric. Sounds like it might be worth a visit to see what they have in my local store.
------With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.
I got one of their "how are we doing" surveys in my e-mail yesterday. They even wanted a comparison to Hancocks.
I've gotten that email too JTink! Crucial to be perfectly honest. I buy more fabric at Hancock than JoAnn but mostly buy online. The selection and pricing at the stores isn't compelling.
I did notice those fabrics - I was with my husband and had to proceed directly to the furniture section - I will have to go back and peruse at my leisure :)
Side Note: Is it just me or is the majority of the "Red Tag" table crazy overpriced?
Singer Stylist 7258 | Kenmore 1503 | Brother 1034D
My Big 4 Sizing: Medium | Tops 14/16 | Pants 18 | Skirts 16/18.
My Measurements: 36 HB | 39.5 FB | 34 W | 44 Hip
Yes, the red tag section is overpriced...wasn't that way 5 years ago... prices on everything have gone up...
I think the 70% thing is just this week to celebrate their 70th anniversery. As on Sunday there was 70% off the notions wall.
Yes, red tag is definitely more expensive than in the past.
Nonetheless, I've still managed to find a few things there lately when it's been 50% off, including a gorgeous oriental print with geishas and pagodas for which I paid $3/yard and made a skirt and vest, and some flannel for next winter pajamas for $1.50.
(I don't wear synthetics, so what I mostly buy off the red-tag shelf is discount calicos.)
I hope it goes on sale for 50% off soon. There was a home dec fabric that was soooo pretty that I immediately envisioned as a pleated skirt. But I didn't want to pay $9/yd. I'd pay $4.50/yd though...
There was an opinion section on the survey. I gave them an earful about that Red Tag stuff.

Player Profile: Loui Eriksson
Loui Eriksson doesn't always appreciate the comparisons between himself and Jere Lehtinen _ something about that lifelong battle between Swedes and Finns _ but the more Eriksson plays, the more the comparisons become clear.
And that's a good thing for Eriksson.
Not unlike Lehtinen, who led the Stars in goal-scoring in 2002-03 (31), 2005-06 (33) and 2006-07 (26), Eriksson is a quiet scorer. He has led the Stars in goal-scoring in each of the past two seasons (36 in 2008-09 and 29 in 2009-10), and yet really is not seen as a dynamic player. He's an exceptional two-way player who quietly gets the job done and is there pretty much every single game.
Again, a lot like Lehtinen.
But while Lehtinen was a defense-first player who often helped bail out Mike Modano and Brett Hull back in the glory days, it appears Eriksson has more offensive upside and should get the opportunity to display that upside. For one, Eriksson just turned 25 and already has two strong goal-scoring seasons. For two, the Stars are probably going to play a more up-tempo brand of hockey going forward.
I'm not sure exactly how Eriksson will be used on the power play going forward, but he showed in the Olympics with Team Sweden last season that he really can be a presence around the net. The Stars will probably continue to send players like Brenden Morrow, James Neal, Jamie Benn and Steve Ott to that area, but it wouldn't be the worst thing to at least experiment with Eriksson in the preseason. He had three goals in four games for Sweden while playing primarily with Nicklas Backstrom and Daniel Alfredsson. I know it's just a short sample, but I do believe Eriksson's relationship with Team Sweden will be important to him going forward. He appears to be among a group of players who could consistently form the backbone of Team Sweden for the next decade, and that gives Eriksson a ton of confidence.
That's been a key issue for him throughout his career, and he clearly has pushed past confidence issues in the past two seasons. If he could get to the point where he truly believes he is one of the top scoring options on the Stars, and that it's part of his job to score goals, who knows where his numbers could end up.
That never really happened with Lehtinen. He has always been so involved in the details of the game that he was always more of an accidental goal scorer. He has tremendous skill and a great shot, but he was always a defense first player, and the goal-scoring just came as a result of that. With Eriksson, there appears to be more natural offensive skill and more offensive awareness.
Now, a lot of that awareness and confidence is attached to the fact he has played with Brad Richards for much of the past two seasons. Eriksson last season had 71 points (ranking 23rd in the NHL) and never went more than three games without at least one point. He and Richards combined to be a model of scoring consistency. So what happens if the Stars are not able to re-sign Richards and have to look to trade him at the trade deadline? Could they also be chipping away at one of their best goal-scorers if that happens?
That's a big what if and we really have no idea what's going to happen there until a new owner is found, so it is really just speculation at this point, but you do wonder how Eriksson would adjust. He's starting a six-year, $25.6 million contract this season (cap hit of $4.27 million), and he appears to be the team's top right wing for the foreseeable future. So could he continue his development with a new center if he absolutely had to? When Richards was out for what amounted to the final 26 games of the 2008-09 season, Eriksson finished with 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points in those last 26 games, so it appears he can adjust and adapt his game. In fact, watching him with Team Sweden (I know, I know, small sample), it appears he has room to really push and become a leader in his own right.
It's funny how either we in the media, or even the coaches or players, always seem to want to find a comparison for players. I think it makes it easier to explain what impact a player might have or where he might end up. But it sure seems that Eriksson is carving his own niche right now, and is becoming his own type of player. Eriksson is a solid defender, a plus-10 over the past two seasons (which is an accomplishment on this team) and yet also finds a way to score goals and ring up points. He could actually become a real symbol of what Joe Nieuwendyk wants out of this team going forward.
I'm kind of curious to see just what his ceiling might be.

I'm looking for suggested features to get into opus-tools prior to the libopus 1.1 release.
Before I get 1001 suggestions for it: One frequently requested feature which was recently added is flac input in opusenc. I'm contemplating changing opusdec to use the new opusfile library which would give it seeking and integrated http(s) streaming support. Also already on my todo list are default comment packet padding so updating metadata doesn't require rewriting the files and adding a replaygain tool.
Some people would really like it if opusenc/opusdec supported taking multiple input files e.g. opusenc *.flac but the implicit output file naming is pretty ununixy, and would break the interface and I got flamed all to heck last time I changed the opusenc interface.... so I'm not sure if/how I want to accommodate that usage.
What other things have you found missing?

Graden's Huzza orders him to meet a psychic who may be able to help them locate the missing McDarmund tribe. He's pleasantly surprised to discover that the small human is his mate, especially since he's spent the last two centuries searching for her. It doesn't bother him that her eyes are violet, she's only eighteen, or that she has visions. But Kumiko's mother doesn't believe he's a gargoyle or that her daughter is his mate. The first is easy to prove, the second is a bit harder.
Kumiko's never been attracted to big, bad biker types, even if she does like motorcycles. But because she normally suffers from a vision any time she touches an object that isn't her own, she believes Graden when he tells her she's his mate. After all, if she can't get a vision from her own stuff, it makes sense that she doesn't get a vision from the man who's destined to be a big part of her future. But her mother doesn't believe and gives him an ultimatum, one a two centuries old gargoyle will find incredibly difficult to follow. No sex for two months, while suffering from the intense mating attraction? Will Graden agree to her mother's demands? Or wash his hands of Kumiko?

RealClearPolitics.com featured an article this morning called "God, Guns, and Suicide" by Sean Trende, RCP's senior elections analyst. He provides some math to the people, breaking down some regression analyses performed by Nate Cohn at The New Republic. He rightly points out that measuring variables isn't comparing "alike things" if there are too many variables — you're going to need better math (or multivariate regressions, either way). This reminds him very much of all the talk about relationships between guns, religion and suicide rates.
Trende writes:
In other words, in a hypothetical state with no guns and no religion, we'd expect a suicide rate of 17 (per 100,000), give or take a few points. In a state where everyone had guns, and no one practiced religion, we'd expect a suicide rate of 39. If everyone were religious, but no guns: 11. Everyone religious, everyone owns a gun: 21. From a political perspective, there's really something for both the left and right to like here.
When you add divorces per 1,000 men, it is still significantly related to suicide rates in a state, and population density is even less related.
It's the use of the word "everyone" that I think tripped me up. Because if you compare women to men, all of these figures would look vastly different.
Gallup polls have been used by both conservative and liberal publications lately to indicate both that the rate of gun ownership among women is growing, and that it remains very low. The answer to that is, Yes. While in 2005, only 13 percent of all women in the United States owned a gun, according to a Gallup poll, that number spiked to 23 percent in 2011. However, as a February 1, 2013 news release from Gallup also said, men are three times more likely than women to own guns — a huge gender discrepancy.
If you look at suicide, the rates are vastly different as well. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2013 report on suicide rates in the Unites States, The suicide rate for men aged 35-64 increased 27.3 percent to 27.3, and the rate for women increased 31.5 percent, from 6.2 to 8.1. This isn't because more men own guns — the rate for death by suffocation increased the most, along with women's rates. The fact that more men own guns may simply indicate why they are more likely to succeed if they are intent on ending their life.
And in terms of religion, as Psychology Today's Satoshi Kanazawa writes, "Women in virtually every society and culture are more religious than men, and the empirical evidence suggests that the reason is not gender socialization."
What's startling is the underlying impetus behind articles such as these. The authors attempt to draw correlations between death and those who live a certain way — presumably a different way than the author. This trend towards generalized thinking ("EVERYONE does this." "You ALWAYS do that.") is what we practice when we're angry, not when we're reasonable.
It seems entirely possible that the underlying thread of these seemingly random categories is the idea of relationships — whether it's relationships to God, or those poor divorced men's children, or simply the group of gals you grab coffee with — you're developing ropes to anchor you back to reality and hope for betterment.
That transcends political groups and categories, thanks.

Special to the Standard
A former Narragansett resident who robbed four elderly women in three towns, including North Kingstown, two years ago was sentenced to 35 years, with 20 to serve and the remainder suspended with probation, last week by Superior Court Justice Melanie W. Thunberg.
Michael Brooks, 51, with a last known address of 125 Knowles Way Extension, Narragansett, pleaded no contest on Sept. 21, 2011 before Superior Court Judge William Carnes to four counts of first degree robbery. He had entered a plea of a 40 year sentence, with a maximum of 35 years to serve but just days before he was to be sentenced back in January, Brooks had recanted his knowledge of the events citing his ŌĆ£lack of memoryŌĆØ.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt remember any of those incidents,ŌĆØ Brooks said in January. ŌĆ£I was heavily under the influence of alcohol and narcotics. I didnŌĆÖt get my memory back for at least one month after the fact while in jail.ŌĆØ
Brooks claimed at the time that he had vivid memories of that five-day time span but he wouldnŌĆÖt be able to pick out the victims. He also said that someone else was with him when he committed the robberies.
ŌĆ£I admitted to those events because of the plea deal, so I wouldnŌĆÖt spend the rest of my life in jail and that IŌĆÖd have a chance to get out,ŌĆØ Brooks said.
North Kingstown Police Chief Thomas Mulligan has rebuked BrooksŌĆÖ claim that he had help committing the crimes, saying that Brooks was alone on all the occasions and was caught driving the described vehicle by himself when arrested by East Greenwich Police
The development was enough to delay sentencing, however.
ŌĆ£If there was someone else involved then that person needs to be found and held responsible,ŌĆØ Carnes said.
A trial never ensued, but had it, the attorney generalŌĆÖs office claims it would have proved that on Aug. 29, 2010, Brooks grabbed Barbara Kogut by the throat while she was in her automobile in the parking lot of the Stop & Shop in Narragansett and ordered her to turn over her purse.
Later on the same day, Brooks allegedly approached Kathleen Macki in the parking lot of DaveŌĆÖs Marketplace in East Greenwich, stuck a sharp object into her side and demanded her purse.
Both the victims and witnesses told police they saw a man driving an older model maroon station wagon leaving each scene of the crimes at a high rate of speed. Police issued a bulletin with the description of the vehicle.
Two days later, on Aug. 31, Brooks was said to have pushed Terri Ormond to the ground and stole her purse as she was walking in the Wal-Mart parking lot in North Kings-town. Ormond was treated for head lacerations and four broken ribs.
Shortly after the above incident, in the DaveŌĆÖs Marketplace parking lot in North Kingstown, Brooks reportedly approached Helen OŌĆÖNeil from behind, wrapped his arms around her and demanded her wallet before he pushed her to the ground. OŌĆÖNeil didnŌĆÖt sustain any injuries and saw Brooks drive off in the maroon station wagon, watching him wave as he held up her wallet.
Later that day, East Greenwich police spotted the vehicle with a man who fit the description of the robber and took Brooks into custody. Three of the four victims identified Brooks from a photo array and the other confirmed the findings through an in-person identification.
Brooks has been held without bail since his arrest. HeŌĆÖs originally from New York and has a long criminal record history, dating back to when he was a teenager, that includes multiple arrests for larceny and robbery.
ŌĆ£The defendant targeted elderly women whom he believed he could overpower and rob,ŌĆØ Attorney General Peter Kilmartin said during last WednesdayŌĆÖs sentancing. ŌĆ£He then re-victimized these women by reneging on his plea agreement earlier this year. I am hopeful todayŌĆÖs plea and sentence will bring peace for his victims.ŌĆØ

It also was a victory that gave the Rattlers a little bit of vindication as they spoiled the Spartans homecoming party and at the same time extended their unbeaten streak in Norfolk to seven. ...

Fulbright Flex Awards
In order to engage U.S. scholars currently unable to spend extended periods of time abroad, the Fulbright Program welcomes applications from scholars who propose multiple, short-term stays in the host country over a period of two to three years. The Flex Award is also designed for scholars who require multiple visits abroad to accomplish their research objectives. In addition to their research activities, Flex award scholars will be required to give public talks, participate in seminars, mentor students, and otherwise engage with the host country academic community. Applications that propose grant periods during the host institution's academic year are preferred.
Applicants should clearly indicate plans for their Flex grant in their project statements. Specific details on invitation requirements and grant length will vary by country, and can be found in each individual award listing. Some programs may offer opportunities for multi-country research, but these should be discussed with the appropriate CIES staff.
The full list of Flex grant opportunities can be found in the current Fulbright Award Catalog.

I have talked about petimezi in a previous post but for those of you who are reading this for the first time petimezi is a syrup made of grape juice and is used as a sweetener. One of its uses in Greece is to make moustokouloura (must cookies). We usually make these cookies with petimezi all year round but this month is the months we have lots of grapes so instead of using petimezi we use fresh grape juice. In this case you may substitute the ingredients which are in bold. If you want to use baking soda instead of baking ammonia you may reduce the amount of grape juice and substitute it with 1/4 of a cup of orange juice where you will dissolve the baking soda.
I could not resist making a twist to this traditional recipe and as I had some leftover anthotyro, I made some cookies with the same mixture. I just placed a spoonful of the mixture in the baking tin and added a teaspoon of anthotyro on top. They were extra delicious.
I am submitting this recipe to Loulou, who is hosting an event all about cheese, La Fête du Fromage.
Moustokouloura with anthotyro
1/2 cup of olive oil
- ½ cup of petimezi
- 2 tbsp of honey
- ½ cup of orange juice
- 1 cup of fresh grape juice
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- ¼ cup of brandy
- 1/2 teaspoon baking ammonia or baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
- 750 grams of all-purpose flour
Additional Ingredients:
- 150 g rams of anthotyro (soft whey cheese similar to ricotta)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of orange blossom (just mix them together)
In a large bowl add olive oil, petimezi, brandy, orange zest and honey. Dissolve baking soda in orange juice (attention as it will bubble) and add together with all the other spices. Mix baking powder with flour and add until the dough is not sticky on in the bowl or your fingers.
Line a baking tin with parchment paper and preheat oven at 180 degrees C. Shape as you like and place in the tin, spaced apart.
Mix anthotyro with remaining ingredients. Add a tablespoon of dough on the parchment paper and a teaspoon of anthotyro on top of the cookies.
Bake for about 15 minutes depending on your oven. The cookies may seem soft but they will firm up as they cool.

13 Comments on Moustokouloura with anthotyro
Great idea to add the anthotyro to the moustokouloura Ivy…I'm sure there are plenty of grapes leftover at this time of the year in Greece.
Peter, do you get anthotyro in Australia and if so is it produced locally or do they make it locally?
I believe it's imported. The only "Greek style" cheeses they make here are feta (from goats and cows) and haloumi.
and continuing…LOL…I rushed my answer! As you stated, it's quite similar to ricotta but with a bit more "tang" to it. There are quite a fair few Italian cheese makers here making fresh ricotta on a daily basis.
Núria says:
Ai Ivy! All your recipes are so mouth watering!!! I could have a good bunch of them :D.
We've lots of grapes here too, maybe I should try your treat 😀
Peter thanks for the information given. I hope they are not making halloumi out of cows' milk because I know there are a lot of sheep in Australia.
Thanks Nuria.
Lore says:
Brilliant idea! My family owns a vineyard and I really miss my grapes this time of year. I'll have to do a list of dishes to make using fresh grape juice and include your cookies for my next visit to my parents.
Thanks Lore. If you make them tell me if you liked them.
srilekha says:
wow! its a mouth watering recipe, Ivy!
elly says:
Great idea Ivy! Looks so great!
Bobby says:
The petimezi sounds really good and so does this recipe. Great flavors.
Bellini Valli says:
Grape harvest is here. My new boss has a vineyard but for table grapes not wine grapes. Maybe I can look forward to some juice!!!
[…] There are many kinds of these cookies starting with the famous melomakarona (honey cookies), moustokouloura (must cookies), Sousamokouloura (sesame cookies), krasokouloura (wine cookies) and Ladokouloura […]

5. Avoid long names (< 15 characters is a good idea). Although the class name PhysicalOrVirtualProductOrService might seem to be a good class name at the time (OK, I�m stretching it on this example) this name is simply too long and you should consider renaming it to something shorter, perhaps something like Offering (NPS, 1996).
Originally posted by Mike Gershman: One warning about using long identifiers as comments: if the code changes so that the meaning of a variable changes, you may be tempted to skip changing every use of the identifier. Now the identifier is misleading.
Modern tools leave no excuse for this kind of laziness; renaming any class, method, or variable is only one click away in an IDE with refactoring features

Good to hear he's working with the kid. Janny Hu always gets it right.
From the chron's Janny Hu:
"Contrary to some published reports, Don Nelson sees a big role for seldom used power forward Ike Diogu in the warriors' future. The chronicle had the rare privilege to be invited within the confines of the warriors' locker room. Here is a photograph from a private workout session former champion Nelson conducted with Arizona standout Diogu."
"The sometimes controversial Nelson was overheard bestowing these words of wisdom upon the 23 year old:
'You'll play when I say you play, you mother****** whiny piece of **** blaming douchebag *********. You pathetic excuse for a basketball player. Post up on my team, will you? I'll show you, you goddamned - '
Nelson then collapsed on the basketball court with a bottle of jack protruding from the short shorts he so stylishly was sporting"

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but since the last blog I wrote urging the U.S. team to add wild animals to their team to make the competition fair, they have been on fire. Basically I talk about how much the U.S. Soccer team sucks and they go ahead make me look bad. They are playing better than they are supposed to be and quite frankly I still have no idea how they did beat Spain. This leads me to only one conclusion. They are frequent readers of No Joy in Mudville and they didn't take a liking to me calling them out. With that being said, I am going to critique the team once again as it prepares for the FIFA Confederations Cup Finals against Brazil. As we all know, Brazil is a powerhouse soccer club which breads its players from the time of birth, but that is not the real reason for their success. It's all about their superstar names which are similar to American icons like Cher, Madonna, Prince and Shaq. With names like Ronaldinho, Kaka, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Robinho and of course Pele, how can they not be good.
With all this in mind, I have taken the liberty of renaming the players on the U.S. team to make them more fierce and talented:
Tim Howard - Gloves
Jonathan Bornstein - Bornie
Carlos Bocanegra - Boca
Conor Casey - Yesac
Oguchi Onyewu - Guchi
Heath Pearce - H.P.
DaMarcus Beasley - Beaser
Clint Dempsey - Demp
Charlie Davies - Char
Landon Donovan - Dondon
Marvell Wynne - Wynnie
Michael Bradley - MLey

|TLR9 drives the development of transitional B cells towards the marginal zone pathway and promotes autoimmunity.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22695187 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Maturation of B cells depends on environmental stimuli. Peripheral immature B cells develop into follicular pathway when antigenic stimulation is combined with T cell signals. Here, we wished to identify stimuli contributing to the development into marginal zone B cells known to be involved in autoimmune response. We found that TLR9 stimulation of transitional B cells induces proliferation and specific maturation into CD24(-) CD38(+) CD21(high) CD23(low) IgM(high) IgD(low) and Notch2(high) B cells characteristics of marginal zone B cells. Terminal differentiation into antibody-secreting cell associated with isotype switch commitment is also triggered which leads to a striking production of autoantibodies. Interestingly, mature B cells do not differentiate into marginal zone pathway following TLR9 stimulation, nor do transitional B cells under antigenic and T cell combined signals. These results suggest that transitional B cells are specifically sensitive to TLR9 stimulation to produce autoreactive marginal zone B cells.

A Nicholasville police officer was struck by a car Thursday night and was taken to UK Hospital.
Authorities say it happened at the intersection of Rebel Road and Garden Park Drive just before 10 p.m.
Police say Officer Gil Rendon has some bumps and bruises. He also lost a tooth, but he is expected to be fine.
Police say Officer Rendon was on bicycle patrol with another officer on Rebel Road when a pickup truck turned the corner from Garden Park too sharply and hit Rendon on his bike. The other officer was not hit.
The driver of that truck stopped immediately, and help was quickly on its way.
Police say this appears to be just an unfortunate accident. A collision reconstruction team will investigate to help determine if that driver will be cited.
Officer Rendon has been released from U.K. Hospital.

Protesters clash with riot police outside the Labor Ministry in Athens, Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013. Protesters from a Communist-back labor union forced their way into a government building and clashed with police who used tear gas to expel them. Members of the union are protesting planned reforms to the country's pension and income contribution system — part of ongoing austerity cuts demanded by Greece's euro partners and the International Monetary Fund who are keeping the country afloat with emergency loans.

User:Moneke/UnScripts:Science vs Religion
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Bored? Nothing on TV? Should be doing work but just too lazy to contribute to society? YouTube broken down? Well from the people who brought you Mimes vs Clowns comes the showdown of eternity: Science vs Religion.
Will blind faith triumph or will reasoned theories derived from gathered evidence succeed? Will you see through this poorly disguised educational program?
All these questions and more will be answered tonight!!!
edit Characters
edit Commentators
Fred Walderson: Esteemed, veteran boxing commentator in the twilight of his career. Having realized that he has blown all his income on booze and hookers he has completely sold out and is now flogging dubious products. The little that is known about his private life is pieced together from inane ramblings about his "bitch of a wife".
Jay Lewis: Brain-damaged ex-competitor and ex-con, disputed runner up in the infamous 98' Rumble in the W'House. Competed under the alias "President Pain" for several years until he was arrested for embezzlement. He was acquitted for "being too stupid to possibly organize such a scheme". To this day, he proclaims his guilt.
edit Science Team
The Primate: Evolution sure hasn't reached this guy. With his long beard and ape-like grip he strikes an imposing (if rather easy to mock) figure in the ring; and only the strong can survive his special move - Natural Selection.
Relative Pain: From Theoretical Physics to particle smashcanics, he knows it all. Is there any piece of matter he can't split? You don't get the Nobel prize for being a pussy, E may equal mc2 but he = pain2.
Killileo: In space no-one can hear you scream... because Killileo has his foot squarely in your face. When it comes to space Jupiter may be big but he is bigger. Just make sure you know where his telescope is...
edit Religion Team
Pope of Pain: He may be a cranky old virgin, but who'd argue with someone wearing that hat. He don't like contraception or you not confessin' so stay out of the way of his stick.
The Great J.C: The man... The legend. What more can you say 'bout an omnipotent deity who's come back more times than Madonna 'cept, you mess with him - you mess with his daddy.
Fred Phelps: Some ugly old guy who complains alot.
edit Intro
(poignant music plays)
Movie Trailer Guy: Throughout history there have been many great rivalries;
Coke vs Pepsi...
(Two Coke cans are shown jumping on a dented Pepsi can.)
Man vs Machine...
(A man is shown being beaten up by a human-like robot.)
Russia vs America...
(Abraham Lincoln is shown strangling Stalin with the US flag.)
But tonight we have possibly the greatest rivalry ever squaring off in the ring...
SCIENCE... (Charles Darwin is shown wrestling a giant gorilla)
RELIGION... (The Pope is shown lifting up the Sistine chapel)
One thing is for certain; tonight we are going to know for certain who actually controls the universe: Science or Religion.
edit Before the Fight
Fred Walderson: Welcome to Friday Night Rumble, brought to you exclusively by Chunky-Fuzz, the only cola with real meat.
Jay Lewis: Dats some chunky shit, dat is.
Fred Walderson: Yes... yeeessss. Well tonight we have an absolute pearler; Religion and Science. Now, these two don't like each other; just watch this from earlier.
(cuts to The Primate and Pope of Pain sitting down for press conference.)
Reporter: So, Primate, what did you think about the Matrix Reloaded?
The Primate: Well in my opinion it failed to expand on the existential issues brought up in the first installment, covering up these faults with flashy graphics.
Pope of Pain I think it conveyed the ideas of the original very effectively and-
The Primate: I'LL CONVEY YOU!!
Pope of Pain First you have to gather the evidence, B***H
The Primate: I hope you believe that...
Pope of Pain Why you-
(camera cuts to static)
Jay Lewis: Boy, he gonna get a beat'n
Fred Walderson: Yes... uh... um lets see the crowd.
(camera pans around the arena and slowly focuses on group of bespectacled nerds holding microscopes and waving giant streamers shaped like DNA)
Well as you can see they both have their supporters here. Lets get some of them up here in the box.
(A young middle eastern man enters wearing a turban and sporting a thick black beard, looking visibly nervous)
Fred Walderson: So what is your name?
Young middle eastern man: Praise Allah?
Fred Walderson: Ok... so who are you supporting?
Young middle eastern man: Praise Allah!
Fred Walderson: Hmmm, I see, your going for Religion. Why do you support them? Blind Faith? Inadequacy? Parents made you?
Young middle eastern man: ...
Fred Walderson: I see... um... lets see someone from the other side.
(Scrawny bespectacled youth enters room. His braces and severe acne are clearly visible. Taking a deep breath from his puffer he sits down.)
Fred Walderson: What's your name?
Scrawny bespectacled youth: My human name is Egbert, but my true name is Lord Khan Eki-kluk-eki-bong-klu the 57th of the 3rd Klingon empire.
Fred Walderson: Oh god!
Lord Khan Eki-kl... er... screw it: Underling, it is quite normal for people like you to be overwhelmed by my superior intellect...
Fred Walderson: *sigh* Ok... why do you like science?
Total Wanker: I take great pleasure from studying the sciences, from metaphysics too the reaction between potassium-bicarbonate in tetra-
Jay Lewis: Youse gotta get yo'self laid, boy!
Total Wanker: Please do not attempt to interrupt with your puny cr-
Jay Lewis: Wot you say?
(Jay Lewis jumps on the bespectacled youth and begins punching him. The young middle eastern man, now totally freaking out, starts grabbing at his bulging vest and saying prayers.)
Fred Walderson: He he he... we'll be right back.
edit Round 1 – Where we came from?
Fred Walderson: And the fighters make their way to the ring, like the gladiators in Rome - and like your taste buds will when you taste Chunky-Fuzz!
(The Primate and The Pope of Pain take position around the ring. The Primate begins to pray but thinks better of it.)
- Ding, ding, ding*
(The Primate pulls out a huge leather bound book and starts hitting The Pope of Pain.)
Fred Walderson: Ooooh, I didn't think The Primate would bring out the big guns that early – that's the Theory of Evolution!!
(After the initial blows the book appears to be having little effect. The Pope of Pain begins laughing.)
Fred Walderson: The Pope of Pain appears to be mocking him, oh this is so cruel, were the monkey noises really necessary?
Now he's come to finish The Primate off, there is no way he can survive the Pope's most dangerous weapon – the religious establishment.
(A bunch of well dressed gentleman begin hurling fruit at The Primate.)
Fred Walderson: Oh the huma- ape –man… how will he ever escape from this?
(The Primate runs to the corner and starts encouraging the crowd)
Fred Walderson: What's this? Is that what I think it is? Yes it's the Kansas Board of Education!!!
( The Pope of Pain is shown hitting The Primate over the head with a wooden 2x4)
Fred Walderson: You know that is actually a learning instrument in Kansas.
Jay Lewis: Wha?
Fred Walderson: Er… Look! The Primate seems to be getting the upper hand! He seems to be using his secret weapon – Public opinion.
( The Primate is now beating The Pope of Pain with a wad of paper, forcing him slowly but surely into a corner marked Joke.)
Jay Lewis: Dis, Dis reminds me of one of my fights in 99'
Fred Walderson: No, that was your wedding
Jay Lewis: Was it?
Fred Walderson: Nothing could save The Pope of Pain now!
(The Pope of Pain pulls several books out his pope-hat, hurling them at The Primate. All bounce off with little effect.)
Fred Walderson: Wha-ohh creationism didn't work.
(The Pope of Pain is now clutching at straws, quickly he picks up one of The Primate's books and pulls out one of his own, smacking Primate's head between them.)
Fred Walderson: Intelligent Design! Is that legal? We'll just have to see…
(The judges deliberate for a short time. The camera focuses on the particularly large breasts of a watching cheerleader.)
Fred Walderson: Wait… IT'S A TIE!!!

Simulated iPad split-screen view. | Source: Steven Troughton-Smith via YouTube
Troughton-Smith, who has been digging through Apple's iOS 8 code since the software was released to developers earlier in June, uncovered the split-screen option on Monday. As seen in the video below, he's managed to patch together a method of invoking the multitasking view in an iOS device simulator.
The short video shows the split-screen capability in action as viewed on a simulated iPad in landscape orientation. It looks as though the function could be enabled with a two-finger gesture, but Troughton-Smith is unsure how the view is invoked as he had to work around SpringBoard and tweak UIKit to turn it on. As he previously noted on Twitter, the two-up windows can be resized into "1/4 size, 1/2 size, or 3/4 size" panes.
It is unclear if Apple plans to enable the split-screen multitasking feature when iOS 8 makes its public debut this fall, though current developer builds do not grant easy access to the functionality. The feature is supposedly targeted at 9.7-inch iPads like the latest iPad Air and it is unknown if smaller devices will be able to access the view.
A rumor in May was the first hint that an iPad-only split-screen view was coming to iOS 8, allowing users to interact with two apps simultaneously side-by-side.
Other tablets on the market, notably Microsoft's Surface lineup, already have the ability to display multiple apps at once and "snap" them into place. The method works well for devices with limited screen real estate.

New USA Today Publisher Larry Kramer hasn't had a newspaper job since 1991, when he left the San Francisco Examiner to found DataSport, and eventually MarketWatch. But he's thought about newspapers ever since, and in his most recent gig as visiting professor at the Newhouse School of Communications, he taught media case studies. In books and articles, Kramer has written about how newspapers have squeezed out investigative reporting and their need for new business models.
At USA Today, he'll get to apply some of that thinking to the country's second-largest newspaper, one whose average daily circulation has declined only 0.64 percent over the past year but is still facing many of the same problems of smaller papers. It also doesn't have a Sunday print edition, one of the few bright spots for newspapers lately. USA Today cut 130 jobs in 2010 and implemented a "radical restructuring" under former publisher David Hunke, who is retiring. The paper has not had an editor since November of last year, when John Hillkirk left the top role to become senior editor for investigative journalism and national enterprise.
Kramer will lead the search for Hillkirk's replacement. Gannett President and CEO Gracia Martore wrote about Kramer in a memo to staff announcing his appointment, "His appreciation for our print heritage and his deep understanding of transformative power of digital media will make Larry successful in building the USA TODAY brand and helping us implement our growth strategy." That's interesting, because in his 2010 book "C-Scape: Conquer the Forces Changing Business Today," Kramer writes about the inadequacy of traditional newsrooms, praising what he calls the "convergent news-and-culture organizations that have become popular online, such as HuffPost or the Daily Beast."
"Every business must have a new newsroom in some form," he writes, "every media company must become one; and success will depend on how well companies of all kinds integrate that 'newsroom' with their traditional businesses."
In a 2009 blog post, Kramer said we should "Forget the newspaper industry. Let's launch the News Industry."
Let's build these new news businesses around the content they cover, not the format in which they deliver the news. There should be one or more newsrooms on Wall Street that will cover Wall Street for every possible kind of outlet, including television, newspapers, BlackBerries, cellphones, magazines and the web. It should be obsessed with informing the public about everything going on in their financial center, good and bad.
There should be another newsroom that covers every major city. Another to cover Washington, or parts of it. Maybe one should just cover Capitol Hill, and another should just cover the White House. Maybe one should cover your state house or your city hall.
Or maybe one should cover your whole city, or just your neighborhood.
In some ways, this looks a bit like an old-fashioned wire-service model. One news-gathering force that supplies its output to many different news outlets. That AP reporter in Moscow would write a story that showed up on the front page of many newspapers across America the next day.
These news companies don't even have to own their own outlets. They could create their news for partners in each media form: newspapers, phone companies, broadcasters. Each will pay for their news.
If we are going to create models to support news operations in the future, this is the way we will have to do it. Let's rebuild an industry around its audience.
In an interview with Lucia Moses Monday, Kramer said one of his plans would be to "get multiple revenue streams going. More people read us on digital than on print now, and that means by definition we should be getting more revenue from digital. I just got here, but I believe based on what I've been told, the company's committed to making this work. I'm also a pragmatic businessman as well as a journalist, and I want to make sure we're spending money in the most efficient way."
Related: A cheeky post on the Gannett blog asks readers to guess which quote is from former CEO Craig Dubow introducing Hunke and which is from Martore introducing Kramer.

Electricity Sector Leaders Commit to Ontario Smart Grid Forum
|in News Departments > FYI
Eleven prominent members of Ontario's electricity sector have agreed to serve on Ontario's Smart Grid Forum. The forum aims to develop a vision for a provincial smart grid that will provide consumers with more efficient, responsive and cost-effective electricity service.
The goal of a smart grid is to use advanced information-based technologies to increase grid efficiency, reliability and flexibility. It enables the better use of the existing delivery infrastructure and offers benefits for both the consumer and the environment, according to the Independent Electricity System Operator.
The Ontario Smart Grid Forum will focus on opportunities in Ontario, but will monitor developments occurring in other jurisdictions and identify potential linkages.
Forum objectives include:
- educating involved industry leaders about emerging drivers, technologies and opportunities related to the smart grid,
- describing and quantifying the benefits that will be possible through a wide range of smart grid technologies,
- identifying enablers and barriers to the construction of the smart grid, and
- identifying the actions needed to overcome barriers so that the benefits of the smart grid may be realized by the people of Ontario.
Members will meet on a monthly basis until the end of the year, after which a comprehensive report will be issued with findings and recommendations for Ontario's electricity sector. This report will form the basis for further action and discussion among policy-makers, regulators and industry participants.

The IDN Forums focuses on IDN domains, so the members there might have more specific information.
Recently I aquired an International Domain Name: Tapé dotcom. ('tapé' is French for 'typed', it is also a last name)
The Punycode, which is what you see in the adress bar depending on the browser type is: XN--TAP-DMA dotcom. Some browsers do display 'Tapé dotcom' however.
How do search engines deal with these types of domains as far as indexing and SEO wise? Do they read XN--TAP-DMA or tapé in the domainname? And as a result would I have the advantage of having the keyword as it is in the domainname instead of the punycode?
When it was parked at the registrar the ads showing were tape (scotch tape) or tap (TAP airlines) related. Obviously when I would develop a site on this I would like to have the advantage of Tapé in the domainname.
