Re: Smallville#801 "Odyssey" - Discuss/Grade <Spoilers>
OK, on reflection, still disappointed.
Biggest disappointment is Tess Mercer. Smallville has always done great villians, not just Glover and Rosenbaum, but Marster, Joan Collins, even that reporter from season 1.
I like the idea of "Tess Mercer", a cute nod to the movies and comics, but she's got nothing. They are supposed to show, not tell. Don't tell me she is wicked, evil and ruthless and manipulative, show me. Like you showed me with Lionel, with Lex, with Brainiac. So far she is just an asshole.
By comparison, Lex's assistant last season, was at least cuter, we saw how cold blooded and ruthless she could be, and she had motivation, she was obviously all about Lex, she worshiped him. This is the kind of characterization that makes her interesting, we see it, it's not just told to us by some nameless flunky in the dialogue. Too bad Lex shot her, although that was a great scene.
Going through the rest of the show, the whole scene in the Russian smuggler's camp was stupid. What did it have to do with the story? Nothing. How did it tie in with the past? Didn't. Tie in with the future? Apparently not. What was the point? Clark could have been stuck in a cave with a few supplies and it was too far to walk home. The only point should have been, at least, if it was fun and interesting. But really it wasn't, the staged fight with Ollie and Clark was flat, it could maybe have been fun but it wasn't.
And how did Ollie find him? They were scanning computer images all over the globe for Clark's picture. Might have made sense if the Russian took a picture of Clark. If there was any way Ollie could possibly have found him. But there wasn't.
Now, J'onn... Shows up at the last minute when Clark is arrowed. Why didn't he show up in Russia when powerless Clark is getting the shit kicked out of him? Did J'onn, through the power of plot, develope a mystical sense of knowing when Clark is dieing?
J'onn knows enough about Clark's powers to know how to get them back when Clark loses them. How about J'onn tells Clark some of this information?
J'onn flies Clark to the sun and loses his powers. How do they get back? Clark can't fly....
Powerless Clark insists that Ollie and he split up to find Chloe faster. Why? She's been missing for MONTHS, she isn't going to die in the next five minutes. At least Ollie has some sense. The only reason to split them up is so they can get taken out, there is no reason in the plot for them to split up. So they don't even try, they just make Clark an idiot.
Black Canary looks like Ziggy Stardust. I'm going to get bored of looking at her pretty quick.
Oh, yeah, Chloe, "We won't throw you in jail for 20 years if you work for us for a year..." Maybe you should have gotten that in writing? What's to stop them from just keeping you as their sex slave for the rest of your life? I would... How about, "I'll start working for you with full enthusiasm 5 minutes after my lawyer shows up with a binding contract, and my friends are informed of my new job."
Thing is, previous seasons I might have suspended my disbelief for things like this, for the sake of a decent story. But the little nuances that kept my attention, which was Magnificent Bastard, Magnificent Bastard's little Bastard, Magnificent Kryptonian Ooze Monster Bastard, etc, were all gone. Without some decent evil, there is nothing to show off how good everyone else is, to paraphrase the Tao Te Ching.

You need to use the Volume activation Management Tool (VMAT) it lets you see all your license infrastructure
or you could use slmgr and find the settings to remove the key.
I personally like VMAT as it is GUI and lets you see all the keys installed in yoru environment.

Microsoft is a Spiceworks partner.
How would I remove my MAK key from my Windows 7 client installation, and have it obtain a new key from the KMS server?
You can perform this operation by using the below link/info:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793406.aspxConverting MAK Clients to KMS and KMS Clients to MAK
By default, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems use KMS for activation. To change existing KMS clients to MAK clients, simply install a MAK key. Similarly, to change MAK clients to KMS clients, run:
slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsSetupKey>
where KmsSetupKey is one of the setup keys shown in Table 4. After installing the KMS setup key, activate the KMS client by running cscript slmgr.vbs /ato.

You can also just go to System in Control Panel-> click on the Change Product Key and insert one of those keys Chris listed. Works the other way around also when going from KMS to MAK.

Thanks. I was able to switch from MAK to KMS using the VAMT provided by Microsoft

Crank up the fun.
Drop the needle and get ready for some high-fidelity fun across the entire mountain with the Rome Women's Vinyl Snowboard. It combines a mellow flex with a poppy camber profile for a harmonious balance of playfulness and response that's fun to ride anywhere from the terrain park to tight trees and wide-open steeps.
The Vinyl's easy-going flex makes it fun to press and butter, while traditional camber keeps the board snappy and responsive so you can still hold an edge and spring out of turns. A HotRods Bamboo Single Barrel running down the center of the board increases ollie power without stiffening the torsional flex so turns still feel smooth and easy. Two zones of lightweight wood team up with poplar in the core to create a lightweight feel with plenty of pop and durability. It's finished off with a SinterTrue sintered base that holds wax well, keeps you moving fast, and can take a beating and still get up for more. When you're ready to turn up the volume no matter what you're riding, make sure you're on the Vinyl.

Ramblings from another nerd on the grid
Gadget Links
Virtual Stuff
Windows Sites
Other Diversions
It's fascinating to have one of the smallest ThinkPads made, sitting side-by-side with one of the largest. The mighty W510 sitting next to the diminutive X201s. But don't let size fool you. The X201s evaluation unit I received has more under the hood than you'd expect. The W510 I have is my machine refresh laptop and will be with me for the next three years. Sure makes for an interesting comparison. But this post is about the little guy so lets dive in.
The Specs, Performance and Battery Life
The model I received is the ThinkPad X201s 5397-FFU. It has the Intel® Core™ i7 processor i7-640LM (dual core), Intel HD Graphics, 12.1" WXGA+ 1440x900 resolution screen, 320GB 7200rpm Hitachi hard drive, modem, Intel Ethernet, Intel 6200 WIFI, etc. The model came with the 47+ six cell battery so that is what you see in the picture tour below.
The Windows Experience Index number for this machine is a paltry 3.3. However, that number is somewhat misleading. The dual core CPU scored a 6.5 which is very good. The memory that came with this eval unit scored a 5.9 which is also respectable. The hard drive scored a 5.9 which is about as good as it gets for a 2.5" laptop hard drive. The only way to improve that is to move to a SSD drive. I recommend the Intel X-25M 160GB Second Generation drive if you do.
The place the machine falls down on performance is the GPU. The Intel HD Graphics only scores a 3.3 which ends up being the overall WEI as a result. If you are just going to use this machine for email, spreadsheets, surfing the web and other tasks that aren't graphics intensive, you should be fine with this machine.
As for battery life, I did a test today that was pretty interesting. I set the Windows 7 power management profile to balanced. I changed the settings so the LCD would not dim or turn off. I then fired up Tweetdeck and let it monitor the tweets on the internet. The machine lasted for five hours on battery. This is the 6-cell 47+ battery so obviously setting or creating a power profile that is more aggressive at power management is going to extend those results.
The Size and Feel
I don't have the exact specs because this model isn't listed in the tabook.pdf comprehensive reference materials. This machine is easy grabbed and carried around with one hand. Sitting on the couch you can balance it on one knee. It's not tiny netbook size, but not far off. This machine would pair nicely with the W510. Use the W510 for chores like video encoding or compiling code, but when you need to travel grab the X201s and hit the road. In fact, having carried two ThinkPad T61p's around many times, I would have no problem traveling with the W510 and the X201s.
The machine feels good to hold onto. The battery design is easily gripped. And of course the case is tacky so it isn't slippery like some other devices that will remain nameless.
The Keyboard, TrackPoint and TrackPad
One of the commenter's at a forum area I read mentioned that a benefit of the widescreen laptops is they provide enough room for a full size keyboard. Barely. The keyboard is certainly full sized but it's edge to edge. Pretty cool in my book. It got me thinking, how does the keyboard size compare to the W510.
That was easily answered. I just opened the W510 up and set the X201s on top of the keyboard. They look nearly identical from a size perspective. The X201s keyboard feels great. ThinkPad owners will feel right at home.
If you are a TrackPoint user, you'll find the red dot in the usual spot. If you have historically been a TrackPad (Ultranav) user, then you'll probably find yourself using the TrackPoint more with this laptop. The Trackpad is pretty small and one of the few complaints I have about the machine. From looking around on the Internet, I am not alone.
If I were Lenovo engineering, I probably would have considered a different design. The mouse click buttons above the trackpad are full size, so it seems there was an opportunity to make them smaller and the TrackPad bigger. I know you can order a X201 without the trackpad, but I guess the current design is as good as it gets. There's only so much room and I'd rather have a full size keyboard.
The Screen
I am quite impressed with the little screen. Certainly 1440x900 resolution on a 12.1" screen isn't going to be for everyone, but I like it and wouldn't think twice about ordering it for long term use. Your other option on the X201 is a 1280x800 native res screen and I'm sure that would drive me nuts over time. The brightness for the 1280x800 screen is 200 nits but the 1440x900 screen on the eval unit I have seems brighter. I have no way of knowing for sure due to the lack of official specifications.
Keep in mind the machine and any video monitors you might use are being driven by the Intel HD Graphics onboard chipset. This is not a high performing GPU. It is designed to get the job done for an Information Worker (IW) role and it certainly handles Windows 7 and some of the typical apps like Office 2010 with ease. See the section below on virtualization about concerns with the video driver.
A Photo Tour
The following photos show the ThinkPad W510 on bottom, then the T410, then X201 Tablet, and finally on the top you have the ThinkPad X201s.
This machine is obviously not built to run a server operating system. And it was designed to run several virtual machines. But that doesn't mean it won't. The Intel i-7 CPU in this model does have Intel-VT capabilities and will run Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Hyper-V role. I did a limited test. It installs. I started creating a Windows 7 Enterprise x64 VM and it was happily doing that as well.
Given this machine has a decent dual core CPU, is capable of having 8GB RAM, has a 54mm ExpressCard slot for high speed eSATA I/O, it isn't out of the scope of reason to use the machine for some demos or virtualization. There's just one problem. The Intel HD Graphics video drivers really didn't like Windows 2008 R2. They also didn't like the SP1 Beta. I downloaded and tried the lenovo.com and intel.com video drivers. I didn't have success. Therefore I could only get the standard VGA driver to work the ships with Windows Server. This is going to b a problem for anyone wanting to use the LCD native resolution, multiple monitors, or an external projector.
If you are looking for a 12" screen laptop, this should be on the list of candidates. If you really must have an optical drive, you'll probably either want to purchase the expansion base, or use an external DVD drive like I do. If you must have the optical drive in the laptop, then you should look at other models from Lenovo like the X301 which apparently isn't going to be around much longer.
When I did some Bing searches for the specifications, I noticed this particular model was selling for $1900 at many of the online retailers. Considering it's pretty well loaded up, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Size and convenience has a cost.
Lenovo has the X201 on sale right now and a Model 3249 with the WXGA 1280x800 screen is $1189. See the configuration at right for the rest of the items in that order. You can certainly configure a machine that has a lower cost, but this is pretty similar to the evaluation unit I have, except for the screen.
Like I said, this is a cool little machine that appears to be the replacement model for the X301 that is supposedly going out of production. Lenovo has been saying that for several months, but considering they didn't upgrade the X301 to a i3, i5 or i7 processor it looks like eventually the X301 will disappear from the buying site.
In the meantime, enjoy the X201s. It's a great little machine.
Hi Keith
A very well done review about a machine I consider to buy alternatively to the X301 oder T410(s). Are you planning a review of the more powerful alternative T410s? Thanks for your Lenovo tests, I always look at. MGM
I actually don't need the physical T410s to do a review on it. I had the previous model, the T400s, for 30 days and I'm pretty familar with the changes that were made for the T410s. If you can afford it, it's a good machine. Like the x201s, you are certainly paying a premium for something thin and light. Strike one in my book.
If you order the T410s with the switchable graphics, that drops the ExpressCard slot. Strike two.
There really isn't a strike three unless you get concerned about the primary drive bay. The primary drive bay only uses 1.8" drives. At the moment there are good hard drives and SSDs in the 1.8" form factor. But if you have a failure while out on the road, you might have some challenges finding a quick replacement drive.
Since the machine didn't make the cut for our fiscal guidelines, I am not going to request an eval unit.
thanks for your generous review :)
Hi Keith,
>In the meantime, enjoy the X201s. It's a great little machine.
I would if I could get my hands on one.
I thought this machine had been discontinued because Lenovo were having problems sourcing parts (screen and possibly CPU). It is no longer listed on their website in the US or various other sites overseas. This is a shame because the screen resolution makes it a much more attractive option than the T210 (without the 's') and it still has a 2.5inch drive (unlike the T410s).
How did you get your unit? Do you know whether the T210s should be available via the Lenovo website again in the near future?
I've tried phoning Lenovo sales but get no information.
Sorry for the delayed response. I got busy this week and forgot the comment. As for answers to your questions, here's how this works. I request an eval unit from my Lenovo rep. They send me something. It's really pot luck. I receive whatever the Lenovo "Try It" program company has in stock and that's what they sent me.
I did look around because I could not find the model in the tabook.pdf file. I don't really know what that means. You could be right about the screen and sourcing issues, I don't know. We went through that with the W510. Demand out stripped supply for several months (Jan-May).
Hopefully the 1440x900 screen will come back and be available on lenovo.com. Until then if you really want the model I have, it appears some of the online retailers have them. But it's going to cost you.
You mentioned that "The Intel HD Graphics video drivers really didn't like Windows 2008 R2". Can you be more specific? What technically, was the issue?
They would not install.

The scent equivalent of wearing a leather jacket over a girly dress, rose mixed with the traditionally Middle Eastern oud note is a balance of opposites: The softness of the rose contrasts gorgeously with the smoky darkness of the oud. Blended together in these over-the-top-luxurious fragrances—oud is a precious ingredient, and the perfumers here have chosen rare rose accords to complement it—the result is sensuous, heady, feminine and so cool. Each of the scents lingers on skin and develops, subtly, as the hours pass, and the combinations smell different on everyone. The stunning bottles only add to the air of craftsmanship and Old World care.

Explore the origins and evolution of ISIL
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
01 Jul 2014 14:44 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, United States
Sarah Kendzior is a St Louis-based writer who studies politics and media.
In 1978, George Romero debuted Dawn of the Dead, a movie about flesh-eating zombies who converge on a US shopping mall. Released when malls had begun to supplant downtowns as centres of commerce, Dawn of the Dead critiqued the conformity and consumerism of 1970s America.
"It's some kind of instinct," one character explains as brain-dead zombies stumble past escalators and chain stores. "Memory of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives."
In 2012, Gillian Flynn released Gone Girl, a thriller that - in its portrayal of economic desperation, desolation and deception - is arguably the great novel of the recession. Like Dawn of the Dead, Gone Girl stages a key scene in a mall, only here the mall itself is the
"It's some kind of instinct," one character explains, as brain-dead zombies stumble past escalators and chain stores. "Memory of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives."
In 2012, Gillian Flynn released Gone Girl, a thriller that - in its portrayal of economic desperation, desolation and deception - is arguably the great novel of the recession. Like Dawn of the Dead, Gone Girl stages a key scene in a mall, only here the mall itself is the horror. Returning to his Midwest hometown, Gone Girl's narrator visits his old shopping grounds only to find a graveyard of US enterprise, a shattered structure of shuttered stores where the unemployed seek shelter and drugs.
"I'd expected the mall smell as we entered: the temperature-controlled hollowness," the narrator observes. "Instead, I smelled old grass and dirt… It was suburbia, post-comet, post-zombie, post-humanity."
Malls no longer breed zombie shoppers. Instead, they are graveyards of the US economy. Gone are the brain-dead consumers of a more decadent past, when there were things to buy and buyers to sell them and places with people inside.
Now we are zombies with nothing to eat.
Since 2008, hundreds of malls across the US have shut down, and half of all US malls are predicted to close within the next ten years. Thwarted shoppers visit online mall mortuaries like DeadMalls and LabelScar, where they post photos of their decimated economic landscapes. Others strip the malls for parts, stealing scrap material found inside.
Who would have guessed, a decade ago, that the most valuable part of the mall's brick and mortar economy would be the brick and mortar?
Mall memories
Some rejoice at the fall of the mall, hopeful that it will lead to the revitalisation of downtown commercial districts. This is a faulty assumption. Cities doing well enough to rebuild their downtowns likely did not depend on the mall in the first place.
The mall has long been derided by those with the luxury of an alternative. When the US industrial economy faltered in the 1970s, downtowns in many cities crumbled, and shopping malls - homogeneous, enclosed and sterile - both enabled and compensated for their demise.
In the media, malls were pilloried as monoliths devoid of character. Mockery of the mall spurred pop culture prototypes: vacuous valley girls, meandering mall rats. Underlying the mockery was grief for the loss of a seemingly more connected and welcoming urban life: the independent businesses, local markets, and community ties built around them.
But while these were memories for some, for others they were merely rumours. A functional local economy was a story our parents told us.
For US citizens raised in cities of post-industrial blight, there was the mall and the mall alone. We did not "choose" between supporting the mall or the local businesses, because by the time we came of age there were few local businesses left to support. There were no independent boutiques and bookstores to protect from corporate takeover: Such battles were plot devices of movies set in more cultured places. We watched from afar, wondering what it was like to have something to lose. Our rundown towns had little anyone wanted: empty lots, boarded windows, vacant stores.
Decades passed, and no one rebuilt them. Now the malls follow, and no one will rebuild them either.
My generation watches the malls fall like our parents watched the downtowns die. To our children, the mall will be a nostalgic abstraction, a 404 in concrete.
Online substitute?
The rise in online shopping has been blamed for the demise of the mall. But some economic analysts see a more basic problem.
"What's going on is the customers don't have the [...] money," notes longtime retail consultant Howard Davidowitz. "That's it. This isn't rocket science."
Between 2000-2011, suburban poverty surged 67 percent, as gentrification forced city residents from their homes. Mid-tier malls that depended on middle-class shoppers faltered, as the middle class shrank.
"They're marginal malls because they're in marginal areas, in many cases," says retail analyst Kenneth Dalto, noting how demographic shifts have drained the revenue base.
The fall of the mall is a problem for the consumer: With local businesses decimated and chain stores departed, those without Internet access and credit cards can struggle to procure goods. But the fall of the mall is a bigger problem for low-skill workers.
Materialism may remain rampant, but now its spaces are secret. Retail work has been replaced with jobs in online shopping warehouses where "pickers" labour unseen in brutal conditions.
"We are machines, we are robots, we plug our scanner in, we're holding it, but we might as well be plugging it into ourselves. We don't think for ourselves, maybe they don't trust us to think for ourselves as human beings, I don't know," says Adam Littler, who worked undercover at an Amazon.com warehouse to witness conditions first hand. On a given night shift he walked 17km and was expected to collect an order every 33 seconds.
Malls were once castigated for turning consumers into zombies. Now, the zombie is the ideal online retail employee, unthinking and robotic. Advice by algorithm, delivery by drone: This is what a dehumanised landscape looks like.
Our connections and commerce are dependent on our screens. Pay attention, pay attention, to the men behind the screens.
"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth," the Dawn of the Dead trailer intoned 35 years ago. There is plenty of room in this hell: downtowns replaced by malls replaced by nothing. Old deserted buildings in cities, new deserted buildings in suburbs, always an available parking space, always a worker desperate for work.
Do not rejoice at the fall of the mall. The setting may have been artificial, but the people in it were real.

Gov. Peter Shumlin (center left) and heads of the Legislature's money committees meet on financial matters Tuesday, getting an update on revenue projections.

The state's economic advisers suggested Tuesday that Vermont's economy - and, therefore, state revenues - are making a "trudging recovery" from the Great Recession.
"It's not the kind of growth we would normally see at this stage in a business cycle," Tom Kavet, the Legislature's economic consultant, said at the summer meeting of the Emergency Board, a panel made up of the governor and heads of the Legislature's money committees.

Complains about how we do everything because it isn't her way.
Well, knowing literally almost nothing about this situation, I'm going to say.....*flips coin*.....That she's probably pissed off that her son chose to plow and plant a young lady when he can't support himself, her or the DNA Milkshake that emerged, so she's bellowing and flailing all over the world because given the limited information I have at my disposal, she has no experience with normal human relationships.
As long as she doesn't trash talk you in front of your son, suck it up and try to get along. If you can't get along with her, have your so take him over to his mom's and make sure his dad knows he is welcomed anytime at your place. I had a mil like that, she was born a bitch and died alone, with no kids or gkids around her. But she proved herself to her gkids on her own. Hell, her daughter doesn't even know where her ashes are.

Enjoy Indian cuisine? This flavorful vegetarian curry dish is a simple-to-make supper for six.
Curry powder is a blend of many spices and the flavor varies with the blend and various spices used. Those labeled "Madras" are hotter than those simply labeled curry powder. Experiment with different brands and blends to find the one you enjoy the most. If you are not familiar with the flavor in the particular blend you are using, use the minimal amount of curry powder at first, then taste it near the end of the cooking period and add additional curry powder to taste.
Substitute couscous for the cooked rice, if desired. You might also top the curry with other typical toppings, such as raisins, coconut, or chutney.
To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until almonds begin to brown, then stirring constantly until almonds are light brown.

I would like to see everyone in the WordPress community have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2011. Could you get that into the pipeline asap? ;)
As for me, I would LOVE to see custom write panels in core!
The ability to configure various types of fields and assign them to post types (post, page, custom) would be out of this world. For me, this is the missing link to make WordPress a better CMS. It's one of the few features that Drupal (CCK) and a few other CMS packages have over WordPress.
Sure we can build them by hand, or use a plug-in, but each of these solutions has shortcomings.
Aside from that, I would like to see the Plug-in Repository include more search options esp version compatibility.

Historic Preservation in the City of Lawrence
A Historic Preservation Ordinance, Chapter 22 - Conservation of Historic Resources Code, has been enacted by the City of Lawrence to help protect and encourage the preservation of Lawrence's historic and architectural resources. The Ordinance establishes the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) and calls for the establishment of local historic districts and local landmarks.
In addition to the City of Lawrence's Historic Preservation Ordinance, the State of Kansas has adopted the Kansas Historic Preservation Act (K.S.A. 75-2715 - 75-2725) which provides for the protection of properties listed on the Register of Historic Kansas Places and the National Register of Historic Places. Currently, the City of Lawrence has entered into an agreement with the State Historic Preservation Officer for the HRC to conduct reviews required by this statute in Lawrence.
Historic Resources CommissionProvides information on agendas, commission members, scheduling and deadlines.

Chapter 22 Conservation of Historic ResourcesThe Conservation of Historic Resources Code has been enacted by the City of Lawrence to provide a mechanism to identify and conserve the distinctive historic and architectural characteristics and other historic resources of the city which represent elements of the city's cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural history.
Historic Resources SurveyPlanning and Development Services has completed a Historic Preservation Fund grant to conduct a historic resources survey and building inventory of the area north of the University of Kansas Memorial Stadium from Indiana Street to Michigan Street and from 9th Street to 11th Street. The survey consists of information on building construction dates, owners, builders, architects and brief physical descriptions. This survey work and the associated survey summary document (44 MB) will allow the Lawrence Historic Resources Commission and the City of Lawrence to continue its long term goal of creating a comprehensive inventory of historic resources within the City. Individual building survey forms may be viewed using the Kansas Historical Society's interactive online database Kansas Historic Resources Inventory. (KHRI) http://khri.kansasgis.org/

How Does SAP Enable World-Class GRC Processes?
By Norman Marks, Vice President, Governance, Risk, and Compliance for SAP BusinessObjects
I have been writing for a while now (here and here) about what this term "GRC" really means. While the definition on CFO.com was fun – an academic definition of the word 'mess' – there is a serious meaning as well.
I prefer and advocate the OCEG definition of GRC. I would like to see the community agree on this:
"A system of people, processes and technology that enables an organization to:
I have also explained why I believe there is value in talking about GRC. See this post.
But, what does my employer, SAP, provide for organizations seeking to improve their GRC processes?
First, let's examine what OCEG lists as processes included in GRC and which are supported by SAP solutions:
Admittedly, SAP's solutions don't cover every process equally. Some are addressed in depth (such as Finance and Risk Management) and others in less detail (such as Business Ethics).
This is why I always advise people to address their needs and the business problems they are trying to solve, rather than try to find a single "GRC solution". I don't believe in a single "GRC platform" unless you are talking about something like SAP's NetWeaver, which is the foundation on which SAP's various solutions reside.
Points for your consideration:
I could continue talking about all the other solutions for GRC processes, including features in SAP's ERP products. But, there's a limit on my and your patience. Let's just say that the list of solutions for GRC processes is long and leave it at that!

Our lives appear next to perfect through the filter of social media. Our children are raised on Purell and participation trophies. We watch headline news because we're too busy to decipher complex commentary. We allow Oprah to tell us what books we should read. We run on treadmills listening to music that started with a hopeful songwriter and ended up with a pop star's digitally enhanced voice on the radio played too many times a day.

Heads of Laboratories
Robert G. Roeder, Ph.D.
Arnold and Mabel Beckman Professor
Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Faculty Bio
Differential gene expression, regulated primarily at the level of transcription, underlies key events in development, cell growth and differentiation, homeostasis, and pathologies such as cancer. The transcription programs central to these events are governed by cell-specific master transcription factors bound to specific enhancer and promoter elements, with the extraordinary power and significance of such factors being profoundly demonstrated by the ability of very small subsets to reprogram somatic cells to a pluripotent state. Dr. Roeder's major objectives are to determine the mechanisms by which such factors, acting ultimately upon the general transcription machinery, activate or repress specific target genes in various physiological processes.
The actual transcription of protein-coding genes is mediated by RNA polymerase II and cognate initiation factors (TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, and TFIIH) that form functional preinitiation complexes on promoters via an ordered assembly pathway that begins with recognition of common core promoter elements (e.g., TATA box) by the multisubunit TFIID. These factors — comprising the general transcription machinery — represent the ultimate targets of the various gene-specific factors. However, other "cofactors" are essential for functional communication between the gene-specific factors, to which they bind, and the general transcription machinery.
Dr. Roeder's work is now heavily focused on these cofactors, many of which are structurally complex. They include cofactors (e.g., multi-subunit histone acetyl- and methyl-transferase complexes) that alter the structure of the natural chromatin template, cofactors (e.g., the 30-subunit Mediator) that act directly on the general transcription machinery, and a variety of cell/activator-specific cofactors (e.g., the B cellspecific OCA-B and the inducible PGC-1 implicated in energy metabolism).
Current activities focus on transcriptional activators important for homeostasis (nuclear hormone receptors); lymphoid cell differentiation (E2A, OCT1/2, OCA-B) and malignancy (E2A-PBX1, AML1-ETO, and MLL1-AF9 leukemogenic fusion proteins); and tumor suppression (p53).
Dr. Roeder received his Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1969 from the University of Washington, Seattle, where he worked with William Rutter. He did postdoctoral work with Donald D. Brown at the Carnegie Institution of Washington from 1969 to 1971. He was a member of the faculty at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis from 1971 until 1982, when he joined Rockefeller. In 1985 he was named Arnold and Mabel Beckman Professor. Dr. Roeder received the 2010 Salk Institute Medal for Research Excellence and the 2003 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award. He shared the 2002 ASBMB-Merck Award, the 2000 Gairdner Foundation International Award, the 1999 Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize and the 1999 General Motors Cancer Research Foundation's Alfred P. Sloan Prize. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Roeder is a faculty member in the David Rockefeller Graduate Program and the Tri-Institutional M.D.-Ph.D. Program.

I don't know what you mean by element. It looks like a rock to me. xD
Crash Bandicoot Returns was originally to be a simple mod for Crysis. But thanks to Crytek and its graphics engine, the CryEngine 3, it finally gives us the opportunity to develop a game in itself, totally free and for PC. CBR will be a sequel and not a remake of the series.
I don't know what you mean by element. It looks like a rock to me. xD
Oh yes xD Sorry, in french, the word "élément" is for all objects, include rock and others "elements" x)
Not just in french, in video game programming an element, or entity, is any object in game.
So, this "element" is a rock?
nice rock! i like xD

Alicia Keys feelin' the celebrity heat to cancel Israel gig
R&B star Alicia Keys is being pressured this week by celebrities to join an anti-Israel boycott and cancel her upcoming concert in Tel Aviv.
Alice Walker, author of "The Color Purple," wrote Keys a letter encouraging her to join the boycott and warned her that if she didn't cancel the concert, she'd be putting her "soul in danger."
"Dear Alicia Keys," Walker wrote on the website for the U.S. Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel. "I have learned today that you are due to perform in Israel very soon. We have never met, though I believe we are mutually respectful of each other's path and work. It would grieve me to know you are putting yourself in danger (soul danger) by performing in an apartheid country that is being boycotted by many global conscious artists.
"A cultural boycott of Israel and Israeli institutions (not individuals) is the only option left to artists who cannot bear the unconscionable harm Israel inflicts every day on the people of Palestine, whose major 'crime' is that they exist in their own land, land that Israel wants to control as its own."
Earlier this month, physicist Stephen Hawking announced he was joining the movement, adding his name to a list of supporters that includes dozens of Nobel laureates.
Walker also compared Israel to racist American institutions in the south that were boycotted to end American apartheid, which she called "less lethal than Israel's against the Palestinian people."
In another letter from Roger Waters, the English musician who used to be in a band named Pink Floyf implored Keys to "join the rising tide of resistance" and refuse "to give legitimacy to the Israeli government policies of illegal, apartheid, occupation of the homelands of the indigenous people of Palestine."
As part of her ongoing Girl On Fire tour, Keys is due to appear at Tel Aviv's Nokia Arena on 4 July. She is yet to respond to activists' requests, The Guardian reported on Friday.

"The very children who benefit the most from preschool are the least likely to be enrolled in them," the study concluded.
preschool in New York City can cost anywhere between $2,000 and $32,000.
Worksheets, computers—America's hypercompetitive education system is trickling down to preschool.
About half of these are preschool students with varying levels of special needs.
Not everyone thinks the frenzy inspired by preschool applications is worth it.
"It might be time to stop calling us a preschool band," Hobson noted.
Developing nations around the world have realized the value of preschool and other early education programs, Miles said.
Approximately 50 percent of the children in elementary school have had their preschool education in the half day kindergartens.
For the preschool years we will help needy children become aware of the excitement of learning.
But though Jake needed a preschool child with intelligence, he did not realize the height of Jimmy Holden's.

here and provide detailed instructions for dialling in the two lenses of a Rollei to achieve accurate focus.
It is of course also possible there is a focus misalignment due to the parallelism of the lens board to the camera film plane being out of factory specification. This is 0.05mm across diagonal corners, and is fiddly and time consuming to set back to spec unless you have some particular equipment to make the process faster and easier. If this was the case, you may (or may not) be able to notice that objects in the image at the same distance from the camera are variable in sharpness across the frame (Eg. one side sharper than the other). Hope this assists.

If you combine the ideas. Use one holder per film type. Use a modified darkslide. I think you could get three shots per sheet of film. Instead of trying to get multiple types of film into each holder you'll be getting multiple images. The downside is you risk ruining the first image when you do the second.
The way I see it you'll need three extra darkslides. First one would be cut short by a 1/3. The second would have hole in the middle. The third would have a hole near end that slides into the film holder. You'd need to leave a margin.
The only other thing I guess would be reloading in the field.


text: Latest news is that the 8 killed in Khost were CIA agents. And it's reported in some news that it was a base for the CIA. Insurgents intensified their campaign against military targets and US-led forces in Afghanistan, killing eight US CIA agents at a base and four Canadian servicemen on patrol and a journalist accompanying them. US officials said the dead Americans - killed in a suicide bombing on a military base in southeastern Khost province today - were CIA agents. It was one of the highest foreign non-military death tolls in the eight-year war against the Islamist Taliban. The four Canadians and the journalist from the Calgary Herald were killed when their armoured vehicle was hit by a bomb in southern Kandahar province today, the Canadian Defence Ministry said. The base in Khost province, Forward Operating Base Chapman, was engaged in reconstruction projects, a key part of US President Barack Obama's strategy to stabilise the country. Some people were wounded in the explosion, defence officials said, but no US or Nato troops were among them. Asked whether the suicide blast occurred inside the base, one official said: "That's my understanding." Another senior official confirmed the attack involved an explosive vest. US President Barack Obama is sending 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan in an attempt to stem the violence, with Nato allies also contributing thousands more. Washington has pledged a "civilian surge", adding hundreds of US experts to support work on development projects that aim to undermine support for the Taliban and other insurgents.

Russell Wilson joined the quarterback conversation as soon as the Seahawks chose him in the third round of this year's NFL Draft.
It took him just a little bit longer to officially join the competition for the starting job.
"He's shown us enough," coach Pete Carroll said Sunday. "We need to see where he fits in."
The coach made that declaration as Seattle concluded its three-day minicamp for rookies, and Carroll was clear that Wilson will be the third candidate under consideration for the starting job along with the incumbent, Tarvaris Jackson, and free-agent addition Matt Flynn.
A year ago, Carroll installed Jackson as the starter from the first day of training camp instead of opting for the head-to-head competition with Charlie Whitehurst most expected.
Now, Carroll is setting up a three-way competition after seeing enough from Wilson the past three days to believe the rookie from Wisconsin merits consideration.
Around the league
The Falcons have signed rookie offensive lineman Peter Konz and three other draft picks to multiyear contracts. Konz, selected in the second round out of Wisconsin, will compete for the right guard job.
Atlanta also signed fullback Bradie Ewing, a fifth-round pick from Wisconsin, safety Charles Mitchell, a sixth-round pick from Mississippi State and former South Carolina defensive tackle Travian Robertson.
•Former Bills General Manager Bill Polian has been selected to become the latest member of the team's Wall of Fame. Polian will become the 28th member placed on the wall that rings Ralph Wilson Stadium.

To the Lighthouse
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1989 - Fiction - 209 pages
"Radiant as [To the Lighthouse] is in its beauty, there could never be a mistake about it: here is a novel to the last degree severe and uncompromising. I think that beyond being about the very nature of reality, it is itself a vision of reality."—Eudora Welty, from the Introduction
The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women.

Waiting All Night for a Look at History
Americans are used to waiting in line for things they really want: tickets to a rock concert, a World Series game or a controversial new movie, for example.
At the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, this week some people waited all night for a brief look at one of the nation's most historic documents — the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Proclamation was on display for 36 hours in conjunction with the showing at the museum of NARA's "Discovering the Civil War" exhibit, which is on display there through September 5, before moving on to Houston and Nashville.
The Emancipation Proclamation, part of the National Archives' holdings, is displayed very infrequently and for short periods because of its fragile condition, which exposure to light can worsen, and the need to preserve the document for future generations. On display in Dearborn were only two of the five pages and a replica of the front page; the document is double-sided.
With this historic document on display, the Henry Ford Museum got one of the biggest turnouts ever. The 36 hours began at 7 p.m. Monday, June 20, and ended at 7 a.m. Wednesday, June 22.
Press accounts reported that there … [ Read all ]

Lincoln to slaves: go somewhere else
The issue of slavery divided the country under Abraham Lincoln's Presidency. The national argument was simple: either keep slavery or abolish it. But Abraham Lincoln, known as the Great Emancipator, may have also been known as the Great Colonizer when he supported a third direction to the slavery debate: move African Americans somewhere else.
Long before the Civil War, in 1854, Lincoln addressed his own solution to slavery at a speech delivered in Peoria, Illinois: "I should not know what to do as to the existing institution [of slavery]. My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia, to their own native land." While Lincoln acknowledged this was logistically impossible, by the time he assumed the Presidency and a Civil War was underfoot, the nation was in such duress that he tried it anyway.
By early 1861, Lincoln ordered a secret trip to modern-day Panama to investigate the land of a Philadelphian named Ambrose Thompson. Thompson had volunteered his Chiriqui land as a refuge for freed slaves. The slaves would work in the abundant coal mines on his property, the coal would be sold to the Navy, and the profits would go to the freed slaves to further build up their new land.
Lincoln sought to … [ Read all ]

Happy belated Juneteenth, everybody!
Juneteenth is actually June 19, the day on which word finally made it to Galveston, Texas, that the Civil War was over and that Abraham Lincoln had freed the slaves. As the story goes, these 250,000 slaves were the last to hear the good news.
It was Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger who read General Order No. 3 to the people of Galveston:
"The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere."
The day is now celebrated as the day of African American emancipation in many communities throughout the country, … [ Read all ]
