ORANGE A major freeway connector was closed for several hours Tuesday as authorities rescued a man whose vehicle was crushed by a big rig that overturned.
The crash was reported at 10:20 a.m. on the transition road that connects the eastbound 22 to the northbound I-5 and the 57, said California Highway Patrol Officer Denise Quesada. It reopened shortly before 6 p.m., according to CHP logs.
It appears that the driver of the truck was traveling at about 40-45 mph when, according to witnesses, the left tire lifted off the pavement, said CHP Officer John Patterson. The truck veered to the right and flipped over on top of a Nissan Xterra. Orange County Fire Authority officials said the person removed from the Xterra was in stable condition but there were no details on his injuries.

If your preferred form of sculpture is a little weirder than the Richard Serra variety—you're in luck.
At 1,500 bucks, Bushwick Basel might have the smallest operating budget of any art fair we've been to, but it drew some of the largest crowds at this weekend's Bushwick Open Studios. Debuting at artist and fair organizer Jules de Balincourt's Starr Space, the fair attracted 11 galleries from around the neighborhood. It was, by many accounts, a success.

I've been struggling looking for an understandable way to do this. I have four points, a StartPt, EndPoint, and Intersection points to represent the peak and valley in the bezier.
The BezierSegment in C# requires start, controlPoint 1, controlPoint 2, endpoint - however I don't have any control points I only have these two points that lie along the bezier curves (i'm calling them intersection points above)... how can I calculate the two control points?
Thanks in advance, this has been driving me crazy.
There's some kind of explanation here: http://www.tinaja.com/glib/nubz4pts1.pdf but it's written in postscript and that language makes no sense to me at all - it's over my head.

Innovations in Water Conservation Products
The first annual WaterSmart Innovations Conference in October 2008 brought 1,200 attendees to Las Vegas, the driest and one of the fastest growing major cities in America. The exhibition featured 120 companies showing off their water conservation products. We review ten of the most exciting here.
Eco-Vac Waterless Alternative to Pre-Rinse Spray Valves
Pre-rinse spray valves are huge water users in commercial kitchens (see EBN Vol. 17, No. 2). A Seattle company has introduced an alternative that uses no water and allows food waste to be collected for composting. Eco-Vac EV-200 is a pre-cleaning station with a vacuum tube that sucks food waste off plates and cookware, sending that compostable waste to a bucket lined with a biodegradable plastic bag. For heavy build-up, there's a button that releases a small amount of biodegradable degreaser.
The EV-200 retails for $25,000. Company president Mark Arnold says it should pay back in 18 to 24 months based on energy savings alone, though EBN was unable to verify such dramatic savings (Arnold's assumption for water-heating cost, 8¢ per gallon, or about 2¢/liter, seems unreasonably high). Another benefit may be reduced drainline cleaning by keeping food scraps and grease from going down the drain. The 230-volt vacuum pump draws about 4 amps continuously but is configured to shutoff after a user-set period of inactivity.
The Eco-Vac's introduction at WaterSmart marks the conclusion of eight years of development, including two-and-a-half years of testing at a restaurant where the system handled 300 to 500 racks of dishes per day. Eco-Vac is approved by UL, NSF, and CSA. While the manufacturer hasn't shipped a commercial unit yet, it says it can deliver in six to eight weeks. When more units are in use, we will be interested in learning whether the need to pre-rinse plates singly—as opposed to pre-rinsing a full rack—may be a drawback.

Watermiser Faucet Flow-Control Valves and Waterbrooms
This San Marcos, California, company offers significant water-saving opportunities with quite different products. Watermiser flow-control valves can be installed on kitchen or bath faucets and spigots to reduce water flow. Unlike low-flow aerators, these are installed by a plumber on the cold-water and hot-water supply lines under the sink. According to Watermiser president John Schommer, the removal of faucet aerators is a big problem in schools because kids remove the screens to use in pipes for smoking marijuana (who knew?). Faucet aerators are also increasingly prohibited in hospitals due to concerns about bacteria thriving there.
For faucets with separate hot and cold controls, a pair of these flow control valves is needed (they're sold by the pair); for single-handle faucet valves just a single valve is required. They are available in any flow-rate desired, from 0.5 gallons per minute (gpm; 2 lpm) to 10 gpm (38 lpm). In multi-story hotels with significantly different water pressures on different floors, Watermiser has been able to achieve uniform 1.25 gpm (4.7 lpm) faucet flows throughout by using slightly different flow-control valves on different floors.
Watermiser's Waterbroom is a low-flow, high-pressure broom for cleaning driveways, hospital floors, and other places where powerwashers are typically used. Available in both residential and commercial models, these waterbrooms use about 2 gpm (8 lpm), compared with 8–18 gpm (30–68 lpm) for conventional power-washers. When the broom is operated at walking speed, this water use translates to about 1½ tablespoons (22 ml) of water use per square foot.

PermaFlow Replacement P-Trap
PermaFlow is a clear acrylic replacement for P-traps under sinks. The trap is engineered to generate turbulent flow to minimize clogging, but if clogging does occur, there's a rotating mechanical rubber scraper integral to the trap. As an added feature, if a ring or other object falls down the drain, the scraper can rotate to divert flow and keep the ring from going farther. With the clear acrylic pipe, the object should be visible and can be captured with a hook without removing the P-trap.
The chief benefits of the PermaFlow P-trap are reduced need for expensive drain-clearing maintenance and avoidance of highly caustic and environmentally dangerous chemical drain cleaners. It also may reduce the entry of sewer gases and harmful bacteria into the living space, both because of reduced build-up of bacteria-laden biofilm and because the P-trap is less likely to be removed for cleaning or object recovery. If a higher flow rate would otherwise be provided to prevent clogging, then it can also lead to water savings.

Leak Beeper
The Leak Beeper, a little gizmo that fits in a toilet's overflow and refill tube, detects leaking flush-valves, faulty fill-valves, and other water-flow problems in gravity-flush toilets. After the product is installed, the toilet is flushed to calibrate it to the normal refill time for that toilet. After calibration, any water passing over the detector after that time is flagged as a potential leak. A battery-powered unit installs on the outside of the tank, where LED lights blink when a leak is detected. The Leak Beeper, which was just unveiled at WaterSmart, is intended for the hospitality industry, where there are hundreds of toilets and custodial staff who regularly check them. The cost is $45 retail and about $36 for high-volume purchases.

Effishower Controller for Showers
The Effishower is an automatic shutoff for showers designed to reduce water that is wasted while shampooing or lathering. The product, which is installed on a conventional shower without replacing the existing valve, allows the shower to operate for 45 seconds, then turns it off. To get another 45 seconds of flow, the user pushes a button; the temperature mix is maintained. The idea is to wet the body during the 45-second flow, lather up after the water shuts off, then use one or two additional cycles for rinsing. There is no limit to the number of cycles. The unit attaches between the stem and showerhead, with flexible metal tubing diverting the flow through a re-start control unit, which attaches by suction onto the shower wall.
The European developers of the Effishower, who introduced the product at WaterSmart, experimented with different shower lengths and found 45 seconds to be about right for rinsing. They claim water savings of up to 85%, though this is a brand-new product without a base of user experience. (The company has a simple calculator on its website to estimate savings.) It is currently available only through the Effishower's website (priced at $48.95). It seems particularly appropriate for gyms.

Evolve Shower Valve and Showerhead from ShowerStart
The Evolve Ladybug showerhead adapter is a unique product that helps people reduce water and energy waste while waiting for hot water. When most showers are first turned on, users have to wait for hot water to reach the showerhead; the length of the wait depends on how far the shower is from the water heater, the flow rate of the showerhead, and the diameter of the hot-water piping. Adding to this waste, a lot of people leave the water running while they do something else—letting hot water flow into an empty shower. For these people, the Evolve Ladybug shower valve or the Evolve Roadrunner showerhead can reduce this waste.
A user turns on the hot water, and when 95°F (35°C) water reaches the shower a wax-activated valve reduces the flow to a trickle. To restart the full flow, the user twists the knob on the unit or pulls an attached cord. After each use, the showerhead adapter resets. The Evolve Ladybug adapter, which retails for $29.95 in chrome, is installed between the shower stem and the showerhead. The Roadrunner showerhead, with an integral Evolve shut-off valve, has a water-conserving flow rate of 1.59 gpm (6.02 lpm). It retails for $39.95 in chrome and $45.95 in brushed nickel.

Bushman Water Harvesting
An Australian manufacturer of rainwater storage tanks, Channel Commercial Corporation, entered the U.S. market in 2008 through its subsidiary Bushman Rainwater Harvesting. The California-based company offers a wide range of polyethylene tanks for either above-ground or underground installation. Slimline tanks, which have a thin profile and are designed for residential applications, are available in 130-, 305-, or 620-gallon (500-, 1,150-, and 2,350-liter) sizes. Larger tanks with a round footprint are sized from 660 to 2,825 gallons (2,500–10,700 liters). Multiple tanks can be daisy-chained together for custom-sized storage. The company will also be introducing tanks designed for below-ground installation.
Bushman tanks are manufactured in California using rotationally molded, food-grade polyethylene. The company provides a full rainwater collection kit with leaf catcher, first-flush unit, and pump. Although Bushman's parent company, Channel Commercial, makes boxes for outdoor pumps and electrical boxes using 90% recycled polyethylene, the Bushman tanks themselves do not contain recycled content. The company has ten distributors in the U.S. and seven in Canada, and the tanks cost from about $500 to $4,000.

Unlike other water-savings devices for showers that modify the flow in some way, the ShowerMinder aims to influence user behavior using LED indicator lights. Set for three, five, or eight minutes, the ShowerMinder displays a green light at the start of a shower. Thirty seconds before time is up, the yellow light comes on. Then a red light comes on—and starts flashing. The unit has two nickel metal hydride batteries that are kept charged by five photovoltaic cells that operate with as little as 50 lumens of light.
Because the ShowerMinder is installed up at the showerhead level, a user has to glance upward to see it, which may limit its effectiveness. The retail cost is $119, with volume discounts available for commercial applications. Samples of the ShowerMinder have been out for testing for about three years; the first full production run of 10,000 units will be available in 2009.

Zurn One-Pint Urinals
EBN covered the launch two years ago of Zurn's pioneering EcoVantage ultra-high-efficiency urinal, which uses just one pint, or 0.125 gallons (0.47 l), of water per flush (see EBN Vol. 15, No. 11). Now, Zurn has expanded its line of one-pint urinals to at least seven models to allow replacement of the wide variety of urinals currently in place. They are all sensor-controlled (battery or hard-wired), and have a manual button override.

Reykjavic to Vatnajokull by car
Has anyone driven from Reykjavic to vatnajokull? It's aggressive but we are hoping to do the round trip in one day during the first weekend in April. We are told it is a 4.5 hr drive. Thought is to leave early (4-5am) and return in the evening. Is it do-able or foolish?! Thanks for your replies.

Fantastic stay! Loved this place...
Scott from Sammamish, United States
Date: Feb-25-2016 for a stay in Feb 2016
Could not be more pleased with our stay! From the welcome gift when we walked in, all the way until we (sadly) had to leave, we loved everything about this property. The ski-in/ski-out access was great (though its a little tight to get kids to ski lessons on time if you opt to hit Morrisey Express and ski down to the village...).
The 2BR/2BA configuration was perfect for us and our two kids, plenty of living space, very functional kitchen, ski storage, etc.; there really wasn't anything more we could have asked for. The private hot tub on the deck was particularly enjoyable. We ended up cooking in all but two nights (of six) and there's enough room to have company over to entertain, as well.
I'd recommend you stop at the Costco in Kamloops to stock up on food & booze, as the village market has only the staples. Everything needed to cook and eat all our meals was included, which was great. We're looking forward to returning!!View Full Review

This is our 3rd visit to SunPeaks from Australia over the last 5 years and will continue to return. The last day for us was a powder day and I stepped off my skis onto the steps of the condo. What more can I say about the location for access to the slopes.
The only gripe I have, and it is the same for every place we have rented at Sun Peaks is the DINKY hot water systems that are fitted to the apartments. i.e sleeps 7-8 but only 4 can have a hot shower if you run. Not all people have skin friendly to the hot tub chemicals or want to brave the cold for hot bath.
Apart from that it is a great place to stayView Full Review
Beautiful condo

Excellent accommodation in an exquisite location with fabulous views.
Ski in and ski out is the only way to go. Owner and manager were excellent to deal with. Condo was beautifully decorated. Fully stocked kitchen - even with a variety of condiments. Bathroom and laundry also stocked with essentials. We loved the wine that was kindly left for us on arrival. We found the bottle shop so we could buy a couple to bring home. Would love to go back!!
Would highly recommend to friends and family and anyone looking to stay in the perfect accommodation in the perfect location.View Full Review
Lovely condo in a top notch development
Jamie from Kamloops, Canada

Me, my wife and two kids,5 and 6, stayed for four nights - we had a great time. The condo is lovely. It was clean, in fabulous condition and very comfortable. Hot tub was great. Good location - ski in/out during day and we walked into the village under the stars along the valley trail at night.
It would have been nice to have a map of the ski out/in as it took a bit of trial and error. Fair Dinkum on the ski in was a bit steep for my 5 yr old (there is an easier route). We will be back. An ideal spot for our family.View Full Review

We have been coming to this condo for the last 3 years. We love it! The owners do a great job of making you feel welcome even providing you with a little gift!. It's always clean and looked after well. I hope we can come back again next year, the kids love it! The only thing that I would add to the unit is a multipurpose cleaner so we could maintain the cleanliness during our stay.View Full Review Owner Has Responded

We stayed at the Jeffreys for the Spartan Beast at Sun Peaks. The condo is excellent in every way! Clean, very well equipped with kitchen supplies and bathroom supplies. The condos hot tub was a welcome feature soothing a sore body after the race. The fact that the hot tub is serviced daily during our stay reinforced how they ensure the water quality was excellent! BBQ and plenty of pots and pans made our stay perfect. Lots of space in the two bedrooms and parking underground made it like a home away from home!! Nancy was a real pleasure to book with she was very quick to reply and to provide all information we needed. Highly recommend the Jeffreys if you are staying at Sun Peaks!!!
Comfortable stay with more than you need.

Our stay at Sun Peaks was wonderful. The condo was very comfortable with a great layout that offered separate spaces to be in but a nice open space to share. The kitchen and bathroom were better equipt than other rentals I have been to. The fireplace offered a cozy atmosphere. The hot tub was also luxurious. The beds were comfortable and there was no question about the amount if bedding available. Outside the condo the mountain was amazing. Great skiing with little to no line ups on the lifts. A quaint and sufficient village to pick up small grocery items or in our case great season end sales for gear. A fantastic experience for the whole family.
Excellent place to holiday!

Our family really enjoyed staying here. We were able to ski in and out easily. The hot tub was great at the end of each day. Staying in this beautiful condo changed our usual Spring Break ski "boot camp" into a relaxing ski holiday instead.

We enjoyed our stay at the Jeffrey's immensely. The condo was comfortable and cozy. When we arrived, the kitchen, bedrooms, and washrooms were clean and well stocked with essential items. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a place. The location was a bit of a longer walk to the village than anticipated, but this wasn't a huge issue.

Perfect family getaway for Spring Break!

Just wanted to say what a great time we had. We had never been to Sun Peaks before at all, so were delighted to discover that this unit truly was "ski-in/ski-out". A few steps out the front door and we could ski down to the Morrisey Lift, and skiing back was just a little jaunt over to Sundance and down the East Village Ski Way. Easy, even for noob skiers like ourselves! The unit was extremely clean and well-outfitted, and we definitely took advantage of the hot tub. We tacked on an extra day to take advantage of the good weather, and Nancy was quick to take care of that. All-in-all, we had a fantastic time, and as soon as get Spring Break dates nailed down for next year will hopefully book again!
A wonderful stay.

We found the place worked perfectly for our family of five. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would usually have at home. The bottle of wine and chocolates were a very nice surprise for when we arrived.
Great holiday house!

This was a great holiday house! The owners have thought of everything to make this stay really nice and comfortable. Loved the hot tub! If this place were a little closer to town it would be perfect, but ski in/out access from here is still great!

Hot tub a delight after skiing all day
Family of 5 from BC
Date: Mar-10-2011
Great condo - lots of space for a family with 3 kids. Loved all of the amenities, such as the washer / dryer, Ipod dock, and gas fireplace. Now that I know all that is in the appliance cupboard, I would plan my meals around the slow cooker, sandwich maker, and other handy items. The private hot tub is perfect for relaxing after a full day of skiing. The only shortcoming is that there were only 5 bath towels in the condo, so as a family of 5 also using the hot tub, we would have liked twice as many towels. The ski - out at day's end is very handy and do-able. The ski - in at the beginning of the day requires a bit of work, but we would recommend taking the bus to the main lifts rather then trying the cross country path with the kids in tow. Taking the Morrisey lift is also do- able, but it was very cold on that mountain the day we attempted that entry and wasn't a great way to start our day. The check in would have been fine, except the confirmation email specified only the building number, and not the unit number. That was important info to have at 11 pm! I would definitely stay in this condo again and would recommend Sun Peaks to other families as a fun, and not too busy resort.
Family Getaway
A FlipKey verified reviewer from Vancouver
Date: Jan-04-2011
The condo was beautifully decorated and very spacious. We were concerned that the unit looked out onto the parking lot but it turned out to be a total non-issue. The unit was very well appointed with respect to furniture, tv's, games, dishes etc., but we were surprised that there were no condiments at all in the fridge and no spices or other cooking supplies as every other unit we have rented had at least the bare essentials if not more (which is the only reason I didn't rate the unit as excellent). The owners were terrific to deal with and if you have children or two couples who were looking for a golf/ski getaway I would not hesitate to recommend this unit. Just remember to stock up on your groceries in Kamloops before heading up - and grab some ketchup!

The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss
15 December 2010
[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468]
Tim Ferriss (whom I've mentioned that I met and shared a meal with once), the author of The 4-hour Work Week (which was great and is worth the read), has a brand new book called The 4-hour Body.
It is getting a lot of buzz this week and Tim even put together a pretty killer "trailer" for the book. Don't be surprised if you see this video and other promotions by Tim on just about every single website you visit on the Web - he's that good at marketing.

Stories & Testimonials
My name is Carmen Quinonez and I am a patient of Dr. Matarazzo. I really have not words to describe my gratitude towards Dr. Matarazzo. He has changed my life and given my self-esteem a boost. I cannot believe that I had gone through my life with a broken smile, my teeth were pretty bad. When I first came to Dr. Matarazzo, it seemed that my teeth were beyond repair. Well, Dr. Matarazzo just took charge. He took out the faulty bridge I had from a previous dentist, threw it out and gave me a new smile right there and then. I cannot find the words to thank him for the way he cared about me. I thank God for the person that recommended Dr. Matarazzo to me. Dr. Matarazzo has put a permanent smile on my face. Thank God for dentists like Dr. Matarazzo. The world would be a better place if there were more like him.
Carmen Quinonez
Notice to "chickens" everywhere- you no longer need to fear the dental chair. There's a brand new advancement called oral sedation that will rock your phobic dental world. Trust me, I was the BIGGEST CHICKEN in the continental U.S., but not anymore. I have now undergone root canals, crowns, fillings, and the nastiest procedure of all, oral surgery, without fear, panic, or pain. This new medicine rocks and of course so does my dentist, Dr. Steve.
Thank you,
Jane Hilley
One day my grandchildren asked me why my teeth looked so yellow and green. I was devastated. I knew they didn't look good, but when I really looked, I couldn't believe how bad they had really gotten. I knew I didn't want them to remember their grandmother with bad-looking teeth. Dr. Matarazzo gave me a beautiful smile. Now my grandchildren tell me how beautiful my smile is. As a matter of fact, everywhere I go, people compliment me on my smile. My smile is one of the best things I've ever done for myself.
-Bernadette Karosas
I have a very active lifestyle. Between flying, dog-sledding, and mountain climbing, I can't experience problems with my teeth. Dr. Steve has rehabilitated my entire mouth. My smile is so strong, that my front teeth were hit directly with a hockey puck. Not one porcelain crown broke. Not one tooth fractured under the crowns. My smile is as awesome as the day Dr. Steve finished it. Thanks Dr. Steve!
-Glen Ferguson, CEO of Green Enviromental
When I came to Dr. Matarazzo in 1994, I already knew I needed a whole new mouth. I just wasn't ready to act. Dr. Steve helped me maintain what I had until I was ready. I just completed treatment and I can't believe the way I look and feel. For the first time I can remember, my mouth feels like my own. I can chew anything and everything feels like it's in the right place. The only problem I have now is listening to Dr. Steve tell me how great he's made me look.
-Townsend Pinnex
I am a cardiac surgeon. I liked the way Dr. Matarazzo answered all my questions regarding my needs for periodontal care. I wanted the most predictable and longest-lasting treatment available to me. It was easy to understand that for me, both non-surgical and surgical treatment were necessary to ensure success. I wanted to finish my treatment and not have to worry that something wasn't right. I recommend Dr. Steve to all my friends and colleagues.

I'm ready for Tea TOPBIRD and Hogweed. How about some salmon sandwiches (don't forget the dash of vinegar. Brown or White bread.
That's very posh bekkie. So, to go with that shall we have a bottle of Asti Spumanti.
A great man about town friend of mine admitted that in his childhood a favourite pudding in his house was a Tunnocks marshmallow jobbie with thick Bird's custard poured over! Can I bring that?
Yey Hesta - absolutely
Excuse me while I just nip down to the shop for some white finger rolls so we can have tinned sausage hot dogs - see you in a bit
I've just recently found out what a Tunnocks Marsmallow is from the Commonwealth Games when that young lady had one on here head.
Can we also have Vol au vonts. (Spelling ?) either creamy mushroom or shrimp.
While your there TOPBIRD would you bring me a Fray Bentos S & K pie please.
In a tin.
Anyone fancy a cold leftover meat sandwich ?
Followed by Mandarin Oranges and evap milk. If anything tasted less like oranges they did.
Right just off - I'll pick up some volly cases - bring your own filling - think I have a Frey Bentos pie in the cupboard actually . I'll pick up a Sara Lee BF gateaux for Bekkie & anything else I think of while I'm out.
TOPBIRD. Don't forget the doilies .
Phewwww I'm stuffed. Couldn't eat another thing. Must say TOPBIRD you put on a grand spread tonight. Thanks very much.
Before I finish off with my fruit cake and sherry I'll have to have a doggy bag to take home my fish paste sandwiches.
Runny beak. what's a doggy bag? Just wrap them up in a serviette.
Lol Hester you must be quite young.....years ago when you had food left on your p!ate many restaurants would give you a bag with your leftover meat etc "for your dog" but nowadays you can ask for a doggie bag in a restaurant but really it's for your own sandwiches or your lunch next day.
BTW.....Hello everyone, I am a newbie here. Hope to chat to you all soon.
Drat. Too late to join you for that Fray Bentos steak pie... The puff pastry always had a lovely soggy layer at the bottom...
Runnybeak, you've got it in one. I'm definitely Wierd... but wierd is good, n'est-ce pas??
gotta stop & watch GW
Hester. Are you pulling my leg about Doggy Bag ? I thought the term was still used today. I must be really old.

On October 4, the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) presented a special award to the Global Positioning System (GPS). The award was presented during a special ceremony at the 62nd International Astronautical Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. General William L. Shelton, Commander, United States Air Force Space Command, accepted the award on behalf of the program.
The award given in honor of the 60th anniversary of the IAF recognizes an organization or individual for a successful project in the field of space applications or space science and exploration, which demonstrates, through its implementation, a significant and measurable benefit to society. While many nominations were received, the IAF Honors and Awards Committee voted unanimously to grant the award to the GPS program for its unique and significant role in improving the quality of life for all of humankind.
GPS is increasingly becoming a vital and familiar aspect of everyday life for individuals, communities, and businesses around the world. GPS-based positioning, navigation, and timing is now a critical component of communications and information infrastructures, transportation in the air, on the sea, and on land, electrical power distribution, natural resources management, and emergency response at global, national and local levels. Without the GPS program and the service it provides, the benefits of economic efficiency and market-driven innovation that receiver manufacturers and applications developers bring to users of GPS technology worldwide would not be possible.
The United States Air Force acquires, develops, operates, maintains, sustains, and modernizes the GPS constellation on behalf of the United States. The Department of State's Office of Space and Advanced Technology within the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs facilitates international cooperation related to GPS and leads bilateral and multilateral discussions in pursuit of compatibility and interoperability with other global navigation satellite systems.
The IAF is one of the world's leading space advocacy organizations with 205 member organizations in 58 countries. It maintains a worldwide network of experts who seek to promote and advance the knowledge of space science for the benefit of humanity.

The supporters of Bradley Manning, the soldier that released the Iraq War and Afghan War files as well as the "Collateral Murder" video to Wikileaks, have released a video in support of him as he awaits a verdict from a military judge on charges that he was "aiding the enemy" with the release of scores of documents. The "Collateral Murder" video, which showed a helicopter attack on a Baghdad neighborhood that killed a Reuters reporter, helped propel Wikileaks onto the international stage.
The video, which was born out of the Bradley Manning Support Network Project, features actors Wallace Shawn, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, and Russell Brand; musicians Tom Morello and Moby; filmmaker Oliver Stone; talk show host Phil Donahue; writers Matt Taibbi, Angela Davis, and Alice Walker; Vietnam War whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg; and more. The video aims to have the charges of "aiding the enemy," a capital offense, dropped. As media was kept out of the trial, the figures in this video read Manning's statements for him and explain why punishing whistleblowers is bad for democracy.
Manning's story and the information he has uncovered have inspired several films already. James Spione's Oscar-nominated short "Incident in New Baghdad" interviewed one of the first soldiers to respond to the scene depicted in "Collateral Murder." This year's documentary from Alex Gibney, "We Steal Secrets," explains the rise of Wikileaks and how Manning's relationship with a well-known hacker got him caught. Though it's unclear how much Manning will play a part in the film, Bill Condon's "The Fifth Estate," a narrative film about Wikileaks focusing on its founder Julian Assange, will open up this year's Toronto International Film Festival.
Watch the "I am Bradley Manning" video below, followed by the edited version of the "Collateral Murder" video (long version here).

Isn't it funny how so many of the best DIY ideas are so often the easiest? In this case, a few sliced rugs elevate a standard staircase into a work of art, bringing a playful punch of pattern into an otherwise neutral space.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santo Versace is the president and co-chief executive officer of Gianni Versace SpA, based in Milan, Italy.
He was born on December 16, 1944, in Reggio Calabria to Antonio Versace, a wholesaler, and Francesca Olandese, a dress maker and shop owner. By age six, Versace joined his father and continued to work after school and summers with him until he attended university. When not in school, he helped care for his younger sister, Donatella Versace.
In 1968 Santo graduated from the University of Messina with a degree in economics. He began working first as a banker in Reggio Calabria for Credito Italiano and later as a high school teacher of economics and geography. In 1972, he completed his military service as an officer in the "Genova cavallria." Upon completion of his service, Santo opened his own accounting office in both Reggio Calabria and Milan. In 1976, he joined his brother Gianni Versace in Milan to support him in his rising career.
In 1977, Santo Versace, along with Gianni, founded the Gianni Versace trademark. Santo played a leading role in the success of the Versace brand by focusing on communication, organization, productivity, and quality. He oversaw all areas of the business--including sales, distribution, production and finance--and quickly became one of the industry's leading and most well-respected businesspeople.
With their sister, Donatella, the team built the Versace Empire into a worldwide luxury company generating over $1 billion per year in retail sales. Today, together with Donatella, Santo continues to lead the house of Versace.
In 1998 Santo was appointed president of the Italian Fashion Chamber where he served from 1998–1999. Santo is married to Cristiana. They live in Milan with their 2 children, Francesca and Antonio.

Community Heroes: an in-depth series on the lives and impact of people giving back to our global communities.
Majora Carter
Base Of Operations: South Bronx
Why she is a Community Hero: As the co-founder and CEO of StartUpBox: SouthBronx, Majora Carter connects communities of color to invest in the growing technology economy as producers of product and content, and not just as consumers.
Majora Carter's upbringing in the tough urban environs of New York most certainly inspires her work as an urban revitalization strategist and real estate developer. With a long list of awards stemming from her work on green-infrastructure projects, related policies and an emphasis on providing job placement and training, Ms. Carter is living proof that coming from humble beginnings doesn't mean one has to remain stagnant.
Carter's organization, StartUpBox.SouthBronx, is, in her words, a "technology, educational and entrepreneurship program."
She adds, "I wanted to help folks in low-income communities, and low-income communities of color in particular, to understand that they can be producers in the technology economy and not just consumers."
A proud native of the South Bronx, Carter said of the famed borough that it is known as "the poster child for urban blight" and noting that crime, poverty and unemployment has long plagued the neighborhood. However, Carter combats those harrowing social barriers via her work.
"I like to challenge with real physical projects that this is a place where creativity [and] innovation has always lived, here like Hip-Hop, salsa," explained Carter. "We have great opportunities to create more of that."

OCSystem Enhanced GeForce4 4200TI 64MB DDR Review
Reviewed by: Bosco
Reviewed on: July 27, 2002
Price: N/A
I was contacted by GeilUSA, a company that I don't really know much about, asking if I would review their products. I expected a few strips of memory but they suprised me with a video card as well. Today we will be looking at the Enhanced GeForce4 4200TI 64mbDDR. Plenty of S-Video cords included as well as patch cords.
I did a little price surfing to see what stock GeForce 4600TI's were going for, the prices ranged from $300 all the way up to $400 on average. Now to me thats a big price gap, since this card can keep up with performance and speed for $85 to $185 less.
This card has a TV out adapter, DVI out and VGA plug in. TV out is great for those of you that like to watch DVD's off of your computer and have it running off of your TV. DVI is for running a LCD monitor for those hard working people that need destop space. They have included an adapter with the card as well for running an LCD monitor. A cable was also included for TV out. Everything is here to take full advantage of your video cards options.
As you can see I connected the S-Video to the video card, now on to the TV.
I connected it to my video jack, much easier then pulling out the TV.
The pic looks bad because of the flash off the camera. I booted the computer up, of course windows detected the TV.
Better pic with no light.
It is very easy to set up. Now if there was a DVD movie on this machine I could have played it right on the TV. The graphics look poor but thats due to my camera. A 29inch monitor who wouldn't want that! I was so impressed with the graphics I wanted to take it to the computer room, but my wife wouldn't let me.
As you can see on the above pic, the Thermaltake Cooler makes a nice add on feature. It is coated with Artic Silver 3, of course. This fan helps keep the card cool, when you are pushing it by playing games and benchmarking. It also helps by keeping the warm air from the rest of your computer away from the card which could cause the card to heat up. If you look to the right of the fan, you will notice the silver ram heatsinks. These are great for keeping the cards memory cool, while its working hard.
This is very easy to do. Just take out your old card and pop your new one in and power up the system and install the drivers.
Test Setup:
3D Mark 2001SE:
The above test done at 1024 x 768 x 32 with AA turned off AA x 2 and AA x 4
The above test done at 1280 x 1024 x 32 with AA turned off AA x 2 and AA x 4
The above test done at 1600 x 1200 x 32 with AA turned off AA x 2 and AA x 4
Quake 3 tests:
The above test done at 1024 x 768 x 32 with AA turned off and AA x 4
The above test done at 1280 x 1024 x 32 with AA turned off and AA x 4
The above test done at 1600 x 1200 x 32 with AA turned off and AA x 4
Card temps were 30c on Idle and load was 36c.
WOW!!!!! This is the first word that comes to my mind. This card was so impressive, it kept up with my Asus. For a company that I have never heard of, they have made quite an impression on me. Companies can either walk the walk, or talk the talk, this company can do both. This card beat my Asus Ti4600 right out of the box. The only way that my Asus could beat the card, is by overclocking it. I almost hit 300FPS twice with the 4200TI, very impressive! A nice feature to have, is the Thermaltake fan on it as well. I'm still in shock on the performance with this card. If you are looking for a gamer card this would be the one to purchase. It would be very intresting to see an Enhanced GeForce4 4600TI, being that this card is so powerful.

Pretty Little Liars
Aria Lets "Ezra" Slip! Top 5 OMG Moments from Pretty Little Liars, February 21, 2011
Have you caught your breath yet after all the surprises from this week's Pretty Little Liars (Season 1, Episode 18)? The episode, entitled "The Badass Seed," was packed with jaw-dropping moments. Let the craziness begin!
5. Save that for the pillow talk, Aria!
Aria gets a bit too comfortable around Mr. Fitz and calls him "Ezra" in front of everyone at the rehearsal. The two of them then decide that she shouldn't have offered to be his stage manager. However, we have a feeling that Aria would volunteer to work in a coal mine if it meant spending time with Ezra!
4. Ali encourages that poor girl to take the stairs
Not only do our girls now think that Ali blinded Jenna to keep her from Ian, but they also speculate that Ali — and not Ian — pushed a girl down the stairs. This whole Ian plotline is getting hard to keep up with.
3. Ian has a present for Jenna
The mysteries just keep coming, as Ian hands Jenna what looks to be a green tote bag. But what could be in it? And we're really not all that surprised that Ian and Jenna are friends, since they're both equally creepy.
2. The girls get busted for the fake trophy
"A" apparently planted a fake golf trophy with rat blood on it, which Spencer then turned into the police, only to get accused of trying to frame Ian. Somehow, the girls manage to fall for every single trick that "A" plays on them.
1. Hanna and Caleb get it on!
Hanna and Caleb had quite the hot episode, between their kiss and that shared shower. (Maybe they're both just green and trying to save water?) In fact, if Hanna had waited any longer to make her move with Caleb, we would have started to wonder if she's the blind one!
Watch! Preview of Season 1, Episode 19

U.S. stocks are opening mostly lower after angry voters in Greece and France rejected painful budget cuts.
Investors are uncertain over how the results will affect Europe's plans to rein in spending and keep the euro zone debt crisis from worsening.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 50 points to 12,988 shortly after the opening bell. The Standard & Poor's 500 edged up less than a point to 1,369. The Nasdaq composite index was nearly unchanged at 2,956.
Greek voters expressed their anger over crippling income cuts by punishing mainstream politicians, giving no party enough votes to govern alone and leaving the parliament split. The French ousted President Nicolas Sarkozy and elected Socialist Francois Hollande, who pledged "to finish with austerity."

I am pregnant with my fourth child and have had fetal growth ultrasounds with all of them. I have been induced with the las two and will be with my current pregnancy this week due to Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR). Thus far, my children have been born small (6lb 1 oz, 5lb 3 oz, 4lb 12 oz) but very healthy. Keep in mind that small does not mean unhealthy and keep sane by realizing that the professionals are going to do what is best for you and baby! Hang in there and good Luck!posted 09/10/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
With both of my children my doctor ordered a fetal growth ultrasound, which is a detailed ultrasound. It is common for doctors to order this type of ultrasound for women who are considered "high risk". It is good that your doctor is monitoring the baby. Both my children were born healthy. Good Luck!posted 08/31/2007 by Rebeka#1mom

I need to do more research on Star Artist Passenger…his song "Let Her Go" is so crazy good…dare, I say…AWESOME. It's definitely my favorite song of the moment.
My wife would like to throw in there that her favorite song of the moment is One Republic's "Counting Stars".
Even If You Don't Like Hockey…
Check out the Chicago Blackhawks' Patrick Kane's insane stick-handling abilities. It's absolutely crazy.
How did his skates not hit?
What's the Deal With Flagpoles?
Yep, I ask that question Seinfeld style….but seriously, what's the deal with flagpoles? I bought a new Drake flag to fly proudly outside, but I swear, no flag matches any flagpole. How am I supposed to slide the flag onto the poll when the both ends of the seams have a clip hole sewn in? Then, a follow-up to that question, how come the flagpole doesn't have a clip on the bottom? It just doesn't make any sense….and it's incredible aggravating.
Note: The flag looks very nice…once I got it figured out…after a trip to both Home Depot & Lowes.
I swear it's some sort of conspiracy to get us to forever buy flagpoles. Every flagpole I've bought says "Fits any flag"…yet, everytime I get a new flag, I seem to have to breakout a screwdriver, a drill, and scissors. It's ridiculous. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing (that's entirely possible).
Favorite Actors of All-Time
I was thinking about this as I was driving around (between Lowes & Home Depot)…and decided to write it down.

I'm really getting concerned about the Dexter finale this Sunday…I'm not confident at all that I'm going to like this ending….and I think my wife & I are going to get into an argument about it after the show.
I think she's wanting the happy ending…where Hannah & Dexter head off to Argentina…not me though, I want death…and not just Deb's death. Look at what they're doing with Breaking Bad…main characters, all in some sort of peril…yet in Dexter, all the other characters that I love so much (Batista, Vince), they're fine…they might not even be in the final episode to be honest.
Oh jeez, I just realized how much time and effort they're going to put into Deb dying while professing her love for Quinn. Arrgggh.
AWESOME is as AWESOME does!

The Garden State Chapter of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation, Inc. (GSC) serves MG patients across the state of New Jersey, from Cape May county thru Sussex counties.
What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic condition that causes muscles to tire and weaken easily. For example, if you have myasthenia gravis, you may notice that during a meal, your jaw muscles become tired and weak, interfering with your ability to chew food. After you have rested for a little while, the muscles may become strong again, allowing you to resume eating.

How to help
Offer to help a our nonprofit to better organize operations. Like most nonprofits we are chronically understaffed, which can mean that normal office duties are neglected. Maybe a grant writer is needed to set up and administer a regular grant submission process. Fundraising is always an issue for nonprofits, and many times this type of function is not adequately filled. In the same vein, fundraising contact files are vital to nonprofit.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Sabres have fired coach Ron Rolston and rehired Ted Nolan to replace him.
Sabres owner Terry Pegula also announced Wednesday that he fired general manager Darcy Regier and hired Pat LaFontaine as president of hockey operations.
The Sabres are off to a 4-15-1 start, the worst in franchise history. Buffalo edged Los Angeles 3-2 in a shootout Tuesday night to avoid tying the worst home start in NHL history.
Rolston was 19-26-6 in his brief tenure as Buffalo coach. Regier had been the Sabres general manager since 1997.
Nolan was the Sabres coach from 1995-97.
LaFontaine starred for the Sabres from 1991-97 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003. He started a job as senior executive for the NHL in October.

Hamas official: No exile for prisoners freed in Shalit swap
Fox News quotes senior Israeli official saying Netanyahu changing demands in an attempt to sabotage deal.
A senior Hamas official on Tuesday said the Islamist group would refuse to allow the exile of prisoners released in the deal to free abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit.
"Hamas cannot agree that the deal will include the principle of exile," said Osama Hamdan, Hamas' chief representative and senior leader in Lebanon.
Shalit was kidnapped by Gaza militants in a 2006 cross-border raid, and Hamas is demanding the release of hundreds of prisoners in exchange for his freedom.
Hamdan's comments come despite the fact that Hamas has previously agreed to have some prisoners deported outside of the Palestinian territories.
"We strongly insist that all prisoners be released to their homes and families," Hamdan added, saying that reports in Israel that prisoners would be exiled are an attempt to weaken Hamas' position in negotiations.
During discussions on the prisoner exchange deal with the forum of top cabinet ministers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week said, "I am willing to go far in the Shalit deal, but I will not give up [and cross] my red lines, the most important one being releasing terrorists to the West Bank."
Hamdan's comments also come after Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshal said Monday that his organization insists that the list of prisoners freed also include Israeli Arabs and other prisoners accused of terror attacks, some of which killed dozens.
Report: Netanyahu hopes to blame Hamas for failure of deal
Israeli officials who support the prisoner exchange deal with Hamas to free abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit are concerned that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want the swap to be executed, Fox News reported on Tuesday.
"Bibi [Benjamin Netanyahu] hopes to blame Hamas for the failure of the deal. But we will do our utmost to make the deal happen," one senior Israeli official was quoted as telling Fox News.
The officials said Netanyahu made changes to the deal regarding the destination to which Palestinian prisoners would be released in order to have Hamas refuse the swap, Fox reported.
Mark Regev, the Prime Minister's spokesman, dismissed the statement as, "just speculation."
Israel would like to see most of the Palestinian prisoners from the West Bank, especially those considered the most dangerous, expelled to the Gaza Strip or abroad.
Report: German mediator to arrive in Gaza Wednesday
Meanwhile, a Hamas official said Tuesday that the German mediator brokering a deal for the release of Gilad Shalit will only arrive in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, as Israel is seeking to modify its response to the proposed prisoner swap.
Hours earlier, the group confirmed that it had received Israel's position on the deal, but later said that Jerusalem wanted to make adjustments and asked the mediator to postpone his visit.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak earlier Tuesday said that Shalit's release is Israel's top priority, but stressed that the government would not pay "any cost" to Hamas in a prisoner exchange deal.
"The government of Israel and the defense establishment are working hard and intensively to find the right way to make progress in the Shalit affair," Barak said, hours after a forum of seven top ministers concluded its deliberations over the deal offered by Hamas.
"Our top priority, according to both ethics and authority, is to bring Gilad home," the defense minister added. "Not at any cost, but in every possible and appropriate way."
Israel gave the German mediator its response late Monday, after senior cabinet ministers held marathon talks at Netanyahu's office.
The forum of seven convened after nightfall Monday for the fifth consecutive meeting on the issue over the last two days in a frenzy of activity that suggested a deal could be close.
The group was divided, however, with some ministers opposed freeing Palestinians convicted in fatal attacks, arguing they could kill again.
After more than four hours of talks, Netanyahu's office released a statement saying only that instructions were given to the negotiating team about the continuation of efforts to bring Shalit home safe and sound.
The forum of seven deals with sensitive security affairs, and is made up of Netanyahu (Likud); Barak (Labor); Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman (Yisrael Beiteinu); Minister without Portfolio Benny Begin (Likud); Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe Ya'alon (Likud); Interior Minister Eli Yishai (Shas); and Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy Dan Meridor (Likud).
The Hamas government was scheduled to hold its weekly meeting later Tuesday, and the deal was likely on the agenda, said a group official.
The Shalit family returned to its home in Mitzpeh Hila late Monday. A member of the campaign for Shalit's release said that Netanyahu's instructions to continue negotiations "indicates progress. The family and the campaign still hope the prime minister will make the decision to see Gilad Shalit freed as soon as possible."
Netanyahu: Ashkenazi is concerned about Israel's security
Netanyahu on Tuesday, meanwhile, condemned a scathing remark made by a senior official in his bureau regarding the Israel Defense Forces chief of staff.
A senior government official said on Tuesday that Netanyahu's National Security Adviser Uzi Arad was the official who attacked IDF chief Gabi Ashkenazi, and added that the dispute harmed the discussion about the swap among senior cabinet ministers.
"The information Uzi Arad leaked to the media and his attack on the IDF chief harmed the forum's discussions as well as the negotiations to strike a deal for Shalit's release," said the official who particiapted in the deliberations.
Arad is considered by several ministers as the highest ranking officer to criticize Ashkenazi over his support of the deal, which entails the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners detained in Israeli prisons.
The unnamed official was quoted in Israeli media on Tuesday saying that Ashkenazi was behaving like "the chairman of soldiers' parents association" during deliberations over a deal for the release of Shalit.
Netanyahu emphasized in a special statement released on Tuesday that he appreciates Ashkenazi's efforts at leading the IDF, as well as the latter's desire to see Shalit returned home alive and well.
"The IDF Chief's stance reflects clearly and wholly a concern for Israel's security," said Netanyahu.
Defense Minister Barak issued a similar response, saying that the IDF chief's stance on the Shalit matter is in line with that of the defense establishment.
