Oklahoma football: With no margin for error, Landry Jones was at his best
The grades were high for OU's offense in the Sooners' 51-48 overtime victory in Bedlam. The silver linings in the OU defense were a little harder to find.
Landry late: A. On the drive that became do or die because of the clock, taking over with 6:18 left down seven, Landry Jones completed 10 of 13 passes for 77 yards. One of his incompletions was a drop. Another was a throw to Sterling Shepard in the end zone that one official ruled a touchdown. Landry simply was pristine. To review, counting the two touchdown drives in the final seven minutes at West Virginia, Landry the last two weeks has completed 19 of 23 passes for 212 yards in drives with no margin for error.
Scheming Chelf: C. The Sooners weren't ready for Clint Chelf's wheels. In the first half, the Cowboy quarterback repeatedly burned OU on quarterback draws and even option plays out of the shotgun. At halftime, he was the game's leading rusher, with 63 yards. But after halftime, Chelf's three draws totaled just 14 yards, and he scrambled for no positive yardage.
Pass protection: A. The Cowboys came in with a hot pass rush. OU ran 74 pass plays and gave up one sack and just two quarterback hurries. With a patched-together line, that's phenomenal blocking.
Red-zone defense: C. The Cowboys penetrated the OU 20-yard line six times. OSU scored on touchdowns on the first five trips and only once faced a third down in the red zone. But the Sooners staged their only stop when it mattered most — in overtime. Chelf threw incomplete on first down from the 13, hit Josh Stewart for a six-yard gain and then threw incomplete across the middle as the Sooners well-covered Blake Jackson. OSU settled for a field goal.
Red-zone offense: B. The Sooners penetrated the OSU 20-yard line nine times and produced five touchdowns and two field goals. Michael Hunnicut missed a 32-yard field goal and Trey Millard lost a fumble at the OSU 14. That's a C grade, except the Sooners get extra credit for clutch. With the game on the line, they bulled the ball into the end zone — Blake Bell's fourth-down touchdown with four seconds left to forge a tie, and the overtime touchdown off back-to-back running plays.
Honoring history: A. OU showed a video tribute to the late Bob Barry Sr., who has been voted the National Football Foundation's Chris Schenkel Award. As a classy gesture, the tribute did not omit Barry's 18 years as the radio voice of the Cowboys.
Hands: B. The Sooner receivers were mostly spectacular — three 100-yard passcatchers, and Justin Brown in particular made some spiffy catches. But normally sure-handed Kenny Stills had three drops and almost dropped another before tipping the ball to himself for a second-quarter touchdown.
Aaron Colvin: A. Burned at West Virginia, Colvin impacted Bedlam even though the Cowboys clearly stayed clear from throwing at the OU cornerback. Colvin had an interception, a pass breakup and two sacks, off Mike Stoops blitzes.
Stoops defense: D. Mike Stoops' unit gave up 45 regulation points and 490 total yards to OSU. But that wasn't even the biggest defensive crime in the Stoops family on Saturday. Mark Stoops' Florida State defense gave up 37 points to offensively-challenged Florida, in a 37-26 defeat.

Old Station at Naryilco
contributed by warren
(contact warren about this story | see more stories from warren)
It's been some 55 years since I wandered around the old station and Nary and there wasn't much there then so now I wonder just how much is there now ???? Maybe someone can show me by photos just what exists of the "old station" these days. More than five years I spent on Nary during the 1950's and I guess in reality I covered most of it many times during that period so if anybody requires info from that era I can probably assist. Eric Ferguson was the manager in those days and i worked with many " old timers" such as Fred Brown Aussie & Artie Rowlands etc etc etc.
I had a great time as a teenager growing up there and being parented by Eric and Rachel Ferguson. These days I guess, now that times have changed, the old days of pack horse mustering and cutting out fats on the face of the camp etc etc etc are now all gone. Speaking as an "old fella " I guess all old periods come to an end but even though are carried out more beneficial these day there is something the very hard but memorable "old days".
The week before I left Nary and we were riding back to the station.I remember that Eric Ferguson and I were out "in front" of the sixty plus horses we had and I said to Eric, " how did they do this type of mustering back in Kidmans days " to which he replied, " Nothing has changed Warren, as he always done it the same way since the station was established " He went on to say to me..." You have been living and working in the 1880's and you didn't know it did you " ?
That of course gave me something to think about and today when I tell my grandkids they simply say, " That's bullshit Pop, as they wouldn't have done that then the same as they wouldn't do it these days." ( haven't they got a lot to learn ).
I have many a story from the 1950's if anybody can relate to those days. We are all getting older so i guess I won't get a response at all from this. Cheers to all who read this. Warren Stoddart. ( now residing on the Central Coast NSW ).

'Hippie commune'
co-founder dies
MONTPELIER — Isabelle "Barbara" Fiske Calhoun, who helped co-found what is now described as Vermont's "oldest alternative and artist's retreat," has died at age 94.
Calhoun's daughter, Isabella Fiske McFarlin, says her mother died Monday in White River Junction. She did not give a cause of death.
McFarlin said in 1946, her mother and father, Irving Fiske, Bohemian intellectuals from New York, used wedding money to buy a 140-acre hill farm in Rochester.
The community became known as a "hippie commune" that would take in anyone. At its peak, about 100 people lived there. Now, there are about 25.
Calhoun was also a cartoonist in New York during World War II, drawing "Girl Commandos."
She is survived by McFarlin. A son died in 2008.MORE IN This Just InThe National Retail Federation, based in Washington, D.C., recently named Rep.Peter Welch, D-Vt.

A traffic offense will send a Hudson's Bay High School graduate back to prison, only a few months after completing his sentence for the vehicular homicide death of a teacher.
Antonio E. Cellestine pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and driving with a suspended license.
The standard sentencing range, 12 to 14 months, didn't seem sufficient, said Clark County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jeff McCarty. McCarty and Cellestine's court-appointed attorney, John Davis, agreed to ask for a 15-month exceptional sentence.
Going beyond state guidelines, McCarty later explained, would recognize that Cellestine's crimes were particularly egregious because he'd recently been released from prison and got himself into trouble by driving, even though he knew his license was suspended.
Clark County Superior Court Judge David Gregerson agreed that the crime called for an exceptional sentence, but didn't believe one additional month was enough.
So he sentenced Cellestine, who turns 22 on Saturday, to 18 months in prison.
Gregerson told Cellestine he has proved himself to be a danger to the community when he is behind the wheel.
Cellestine was arrested last month.
In January 2010, Cellestine was sentenced to five years in prison for the September 2009 death of Gordon Patterson, who had been one of Cellestine's teachers at Bay. Phone records indicated Cellestine was texting his girlfriend when his car struck Patterson, who had been riding his bicycle home from school and was in a bike lane near the top of the hill on Northeast St. Johns Road. Patterson was 50.
With the standard time off for good behavior, Cellestine was released from prison this year and had been out approximately two months at the time of his arrest. On the morning of July 17, he was southbound on Interstate 5 on his way to work — he'd been hired two weeks earlier by a temporary employment agency — when a Washington State Patrol trooper observed him cutting off the driver of a tractor-trailer and signaled for him to pull over.
Instead, Cellestine took the Mill Plain Boulevard exit and turned onto D Street, blowing through two stop signs, McCarty said. The trooper called off the pursuit because it was too dangerous to be speeding through a residential area, but took down the license plate. The vehicle was traced to Cellestine's mother, who, according to court documents, eventually said her son had been driving.
Davis told Gregerson that Cellestine had been working hard at restarting his life and that's not "truly reflected" in his criminal record.
"Although it is what it is," Davis said.
In a brief statement to Gregerson, Cellestine said he made a "major mistake."
McCarty said the new crimes mean Cellestine's license will be suspended even longer, and he couldn't predict how long it will be before Cellestine will be allowed to have a driver's license again.

- Talk title: Concentration inequalities for occupancy models with log-concave marginals [Slides]
- Abstract:
With the goal of finding new and improved concentration inequalities for random variables that are threshold- and equality-type counts of multivariate occupancy models, we describe a general method for size biasing such models which produces bounded couplings whenever the model's margin distributions are lattice log concave and satisfy some other weak conditions. Examples on which the method succeeds include degree counts in an Erdos-Renyi random graph, the number of neighbors and the volume covered by multi-way intersections in germ grain models from stochastic geometry, bin occupancy counts in the multinomial model, and population sizes under multivariate hypergeometric sampling. Via the work of Ghosh and Goldstein (2011) and Arratia and Baxendale (2014) relating bounded size-biased couplings to concentration inequalities, our couplings provide new concentration of measure results for the above models having the Poisson tail rate, many of which improve on those achieved by competing methods. We will compare our results with those achieved by McDiarmid's inequality, negative association, and self bounding and certifiable functions. This work is joint with Larry Goldstein and Umit Islak.

- Stéphane Boucheron
- Talk title: Entropy methods, order statistics, tail index estimation, infinite urn schemes and missing mass (joint work with Anna Ben-Hamou, Mesrob Ohannessian and Maud Thomas) [Slides]
- Abstract:
The entropy method has proved to be a handy device to derive concentration inequalities for functions of independent random variables. So far, it has delivered the tightest general inequalities concerning suprema of bounded empirical processes, conditional Rademacher averages or self-bounded functionals like VC-entropies. The entropy method is made of two ingredients: the product property of entropy, variance, and intermediate Phi-entropies; Herbst's argument which consists of taking advantage of a differential inequality satisfied by a logarithmic moment generating function.
It has also been pointed out that off-the-shelf exponential Efron-Stein inequalities delivered by the entropy method may not be as tight as they should, they may fail to capture the so-called super-concentration phenomenon.
We show that in the simplest setting of this phenomenon, suprema of Gaussian vectors, complementing the entropy method with appropriate representations provides a pedestrian derivation of tight "super"-concentration inequalities. The argument works for order statistics from log-concave distributions. It consists of combining Rényi's representation for order statistics, log-concavity arguments and the entropy method.
Combining Renyi's representation, Karamata's representation for regularly varying functions and sharp concentration inequalities for smooth functions of independent exponentially distributed random variables (due to Talagrand, Maurey, Bobkov and Ledoux) allows us to derive concentration inequalities for tail index estimators that have been popular in Extreme Value Theory for decades. This provides a canvas for constructing adaptive tail index estimators (a notoriously difficult task).
The analysis of occupancy scores in finite and infinite urn schemes provides a setting where the product property of entropy/variance is challenged by negative association (or Poissonization) arguments, or by Stein's method. We show how variants of the entropy method can be used to derive simple yet sharp concentration inequalities for occupancy scores and for the missing mass. Tail and moment bounds are benchmarked in the regular variation setting introduced by S. Karlin.

- Talk title: On the error bound in the normal approximation for Jack measures [Slides]
- Abstract:
The one-parameter family of Jack_α measures on partitions of n is an important discrete analog of Dyson's β ensembles of random matrix theory. Except for α = ½, 1, 2, which have group theoretic interpretations, the Jack_α measure is difficult to analyze. In the case α = 1, the Jack measure agrees with the Plancherel measure on the irreducible representations of the symmetric group S_n, parametrized by the partitions of n. The normal approximation for the character ratio evaluated at the transposition (12) under the Plancherel measure has been well studied, notably by Fulman (2005, 2006) and Shao and Su (2006). A generalization of the character ratio under the Jack_ α measure has also been studied by Fulman (2004, 2006) and Fulman and Goldstein (2011). In this talk, we present results on both uniform and non-uniform error bounds on the normal approximation for the Jack_ α measure for α > 0. Our results improve those in the literature and come close to solving a conjecture of Fulman (2004). Our proofs use Stein's method and zero-bias coupling. This talk is based on joint work with Le Van Thanh.

- Talk title: Functional Poisson convergence [Slides]
- Larry Goldstein
- Talk title: Concentration and Stein couplings [Slides]
- Abstract:
For a nonnegative random variable Y with finite nonzero mean a, we say that Y^s has the Y-size bias distribution if
E[Yf(Y)] = a E[f(Y^s)]
for all smooth functions f. If Y can be coupled to Y^s having the Y-size bias distribution such that for some constant c we have Y^s < Y + c almost surely, then the deviations of Y from its mean satisfy a concentration of measure inequality of Poisson type. Applications of the method yield Poisson tail concentration results for the number of local maxima of a random function on a graph, urn occupancy statistics in multinomial allocation models, and the volume contained in k-way intersections of n balls placed uniformly over a volume n subset of d dimensional space. The two final examples are members of a class of occupancy models with log concave marginals for which bounded size bias couplings may be constructed more generally.
Similarly, concentration bounds can be shown using the zero bias coupling, that is, when one can construct a bounded coupling of a mean zero random variable Y with finite nonzero variance v^2 to a Y* satisfying
E[Yf(Y)] = v^2 E[f'(Y*)]
for all smooth f. Such couplings can be used to demonstrate concentration in Hoeffding's combinatorial central limit theorem under diverse assumptions on the permutation distribution.
The bounds produced by these couplings may offer various improvements to those obtained using other methods available.
This work is joint with Jay Bartroff, Subhankar Ghosh and Umit Islak.

- Talk title: Stein's method, logarithmic Sobolev and transport inequalities (joint work with I. Nourdin and G. Peccati) [Slides]
- Abstract:
We develop connections between Stein's approximation method, logarithmic Sobolev and transport inequalities by introducing a new class of functional inequalities involving the relative entropy, the Stein (factor or) matrix, the relative Fisher information and the Wasserstein distance with respect to a given reference distribution on ${\bf R}^d$. For the Gaussian model, these results improve upon the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality and the Talagrand quadratic transportation cost inequality. As a by-product, they also produce bounds for normal entropic convergence expressed in terms of the Stein matrix. Further examples of illustrations include multidimensional gamma distributions, the uniform distribution on a compact interval, as well as families of log-concave densities. The tools rely on semigroup interpolation and bounds, in particular by means of the iterated gradients of the Markov generator with invariant measure the distribution under consideration. In a second part, motivated by the recent investigation by Nourdin, Peccati and Swan on Wiener chaoses, we address the issue of entropic bounds on multidimensional functionals $F$ with the Stein matrix via a set of data on $F$ and its gradients rather than on the Fisher information of the density. A natural framework for this investigation is given by the Markov Triple structure $(E, \mu, \Gamma)$ in which abstract Malliavin-type arguments may be developed and extend the Wiener chaos setting.

- Talk title: Degree distributions in preferential attachment graphs and connections to urns, walks and trees Part II: Biasing and coupling
- Abstract:
The limit distributions of degree counts for proportional attachment models are unique fixed point of certain distributional transformations that are described in terms of size biasing and multiplying by mixtures of beta variables. From this fact, couplings can be used to obtain rates of convergence of degree counts to their distributional limits and properties of the limits can be read.

- Talk title: Comparing distributions via their canonical Stein operators: a new view of Stein's method (joint work with Christophe Ley and Yvik Swan) [Slides]
- Abstract:
We propose a canonical definition of the Stein operator of a univariate distribution through a skew-adjoint relationship for a differential operator or a difference operator. The resulting Stein identity not only comprises the known examples but also highlights the unifying theme as well as the flexibility in specifying the Stein identity. The identity naturally links in with a coupling approach, which we detail for sums of independent random variables. We apply our approach to the comparison of several pairs of distributions : normal vs normal, normal vs Student, maximum of random variables vs Gumbel and exponential, and beta-binomial vs Beta.

- Talk title: Degree distributions in preferential attachment graphs and connections to urns, walks and trees Part III: Urns, walks and trees [Slides]
- Abstract:
The limiting distributions of degree counts in preferential attachment graphs can be understood through urn models. These limits also appear in random walks and trees and in this talk we make the connection to urns explicit as well as derive new results for all of these models.

- Talk title: Stein method and the fourth moment theorem for invariant measures of diffusions [Slides]
- Abstract:
Given a random variable F regular enough in the sense of the Malliavin calculus, we measure the distance between its law and almost any continuous probability law on the real line. The bounds are given in terms of the Malliavin derivative of the random variable F and are based by the properties of the Ito diffussion which has as invariant measure the law considered. We also characterize the convergence in distribution of a sequence of random variables in a Wiener chaos of a fixed order to a probability distribution which is the invariant measure! of a diffusion process. This class of target distributions includes the most known continuous probability distributions. Our results are given in terms of the Malliavin calculus and of the coefficients of the associated diffusion process and extend the standard Fourth Moment Theorem by Nualart and Peccati.

Feel the difference
Posted by Reviewer2197377 on Feb 13, 2011
I had been using this product and decided to try another liver support product. I started feeling different on the inside. When I got to analyzing what I had done different to cause this inner change, I realized the only change had been the liver support product. I got back on the Eclectic Institute Liver Support and got my sense of inner well-being and strength back. I'd like to find a cheaper product to get on, but not at the expense of losing my inner feeling of well-being. The price is the only reason I give it 4 stars.

Functional analyses of interacting factors involved in both pre-mRNA splicing and cell cycle progression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Through a genetic screen to search for factors that interact with Prp17/Cdc40p, a protein involved in both cell cycle progression and pre-mRNA splicing, we identify three novel factors, which we call Syf1p, Syf2p, and Syf3 (SYnthetic lethal with cdc Forty). Here we present evidence that all three proteins are spliceosome associated, that they associate weakly or transiently with U6 and U5 snRNAs, and that Syf1p and Syf3p (also known as Clf1p) are required for pre-mRNA splicing. In addition we show that depletion of Syf1p or Syf3p results in cell cycle arrest at the G2/M transition. Thus, like Prp17/Cdc40p, Syf1p and Syf3p are involved in two distinct cellular processes. We discuss the likelihood that Syf1p, Syf2p, and Syf3p are components of a protein complex that assembles into spliceosomes and also regulates cell cycle progression.(Received May 16 2000)

The Birth of a Nation (1915)
In its time, "The Birth of a Nation" was a masterpiece. Its racist undertones and revisionism are quite disturbing, but it is still worth watching for its historical influence.

The Red Sea is the closest tropical sea to Europe. It is almost an extension of the Mediterranean from which it is separated by the Isthmus of Suez. This proximity to the early civilisations of the Mediterranean have strongly affected the history of the Red Sea which has always progressed in parallel to that of the Old World. The Red Sea was frequented by the ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans who left traces of their passing in shipwrecks that every now and then are rediscovered. The ships that have ploughed the waters of the Red Sea for millennia have had to deal with strong currents and high winds that have turned this sea into a graveyard of ships from every age. The result is a delight for divers who have always found in the sea an underwater Eldorado. The famous Austrian pioneer, Hans Hass, came here after World War II and took the first photographs of the Umbria and her 360,000 unexploded bombs using his legendary Robot. The Italians arrived in 1953 on the Formica

Sigur Ros' Jonsi leads Cameron Crowe's 'We Bought a Zoo' soundtrack
Sigur Ros frontman and Immaculate Noise favorite Jonsi went to the "Zoo" with famed director Cameron Crowe and came out on the other side with a new soundtrack.
Crowe's "We Bought a Zoo" features new compositions and an original score from Jónsi, and the music will be released as a soundtrack on Dec. 13, ten days before the film is released on Dec. 23.
The 15-track album includes four songs that were on Jonsi's 2010 album "Go," plus two previously unreleased tracks under Jonsi's name: one of those, "Gathering Stories," was co-written by Crowe himself. Sigur Ros' previously dropped "Hoppipolla" is also included.
Experimental composer Nico Muhly helped to arrange the string and brass sections of the score.
Crowe has been a longtime admirer of Sigur Ros, and even helped break the band by including one of their tunes during his 2001 film remake "Vanilla Sky."
"Early on it was obvious that [Sigur Rós'] music would have a profound effect on the making of We Bought A Zoo," said Cameron in a statement. "In preparation for making the movie, we gave all the actors and crew members a copy of Sigur Rós' transcendent documentary, 'Heima'... The actors listened to the music during their takes; it quickly became part of the film's DNA."
Jonsi also contributed a song to "How to Train Your Dragon."
"We Bought a Zoo" stars Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon.
Here is the tracklist for "We Bought a Zoo":
1. Why Not
2. AEvin Endar - Jónsi *new track
3. Boy Lilikoi - Jónsi
4. Sun
5. Brambles
6. Sinking Friendships - Jónsi
7. We Bought A Zoo
8. Hoppipolla – Sigur Rós
9. Snaerisendar
10. Sink
11. Go Do - Jónsi
12. Whole Made of Pieces
13. Humming
14. First Day
15. Gathering Stories – Jónsi *new track

We are seeing more news surrounding one of the more exciting innovations in the concrete industry: roller-compacted concrete (RCC).
As evidence, ASTM International is formalizing a method for making a cylindrical specimen of RCC in a gyratory compactor. Test Method for Preparation, Compaction and Density Determination of Roller-Compacted Concrete Specimens by means of the Superpave Gyratory Compactor is being developed by Subcommittee C09.45 on Roller-Compacted Concrete. This is part of ASTM Committee C09 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates.
Superpave gyratory compactor, developed about 20 years ago, mimics the kneading compaction mechanism that takes place during field compaction.
"The superpave gyratory compactor represented a major shift in the way that asphalt mixtures were designed," says Stacy Williams of the Center for Training Transportation Professionals and a member of C09. "We are always looking for ways to get better correlations between field and laboratory material properties in order to close the gap between the design and production phases of construction.
"Since RCC pavements are compacted just like asphalt pavements, it seems reasonable that a laboratory-scale compactor designed to imitate field roller compaction would also be appropriate for RCC."
For more information, you can email Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 479-575-2220.
Also, TCP recognized Jerry Larson, executive director of the Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association, as a 2011 Industry Influencer for his role in promoting RCC in Indiana. Click here to read the article.

subjected to mimetic structures that control them. They do not, and cannot, change their destinies or the history of the educational systems in which they work and learn. Individuals are part of a world they did not make and cannot understand, except through misrecognition and ideology. They are destined to fill their positions in the given educational and social-relations structures of modern society.
The inculcation processes of the pedagogic action begin, however, in the family. There neonates develop many-sided and conflictual natures of themselves, which will be discussed further in chapter 4. Here we want to point out that infants make the passage from animals to human beings, from sensations and needs to language and a recognition of society and their places in it. Children come to see themselves as the center of experience, the people who initiate much of the action that occurs around them. This process places children in an ideological mode. They come to see and understand themselves by recognizing the linguistic categories others use to describe and identify them. They come to misrecognize these words as their selves or, as Bourdieu might say, they misrecognize or confuse these words with their own inner cores. The parents with whom children identify are idealized versions of persons, who seem to have no other function or desire than to minister to the needs of their children. This misrecognition is the essence of ideology and governs the consciousness, actions, and experiences of children and others around them. Yet these earliest pedagogic acts contain more than symbolic violence, if you will. They also contain a bonding of individuals with nurturing others and an acceptance of social solidarity-producing outcomes that are the cement of modern societies.
Bourdieu and his associates developed a theory of symbolic violence that sought to examine the reproductive functions of schooling in modern society. They studied the arbitrary characteristics and practices of educational systems and their effects on children from different social origins and sexes. Individual consciousness and understanding of ongoing classroom experiences were ignored because they were misrecognitions of the power hidden behind the symbolic violence of the pedagogic act. Yet these perspectives made it impossible for researchers to operationalize their hypotheses and concepts. Findings could not be developed to validate their theoretical formulations, because such findings could not be observed or replicated in ongoing classroom activities. The teachings of educational systems were seen as arbitrary in their content and forms. Because these teachings were imposed on children by the state and the dominant classes the state represented, their habitus was arbitrary and could not be derived from principles of logic in social science research.

Holmes' Armani weddingKatie Holmes has chosen Giorgio Armani to design her wedding dress.
A spokesman for Katie and her fianc�'© Tom Cruise has confirmed they will tie the knot in Italy in November and it has now been revealed that Armani has designed the dress for the big day.
A source told website Women's Wear Daily: "Armani has designed five outfits for Katie to wear to various events throughout the wedding weekend."
Earlier this month, Katie - who has a baby daughter, Suri, with Tom - revealed she had chosen her wedding dress.
Speaking at Paris Fashion Week, she said: "I already have my dress."
Last week, the former 'Dawson's Creek' actress flew to Milan, Italy, where Armani's headquarters are located, for a fitting.
Tom, 44, and Katie, 27, both wore Armani when they attended Oprah Winfrey's Legend's Ball in Santa Barbara in May 2005.
The world famous Italian designer also dressed the star couple for their international promotional tours for 'Mission: Impossible III' and 'Batman Begins', during which they announced their engagement.
A spokesman for Armani has so far refused to comment on the wedding dress rumours.

U.S. officials say they found the names of suspected Al-Qaeda operatives in the treasure trove of data seized from Osama bin Laden's compound. Also, an audio taping believed to be of{}the terror leader{}was released to the media arm of Al-Qaeda.
In the recorded message to his supporters,{}bin Laden{}said, "My Muslim people, we watch closely what is going on in the world today. We rejoice with your rejoicing and your pride."
Officials believe the audio tape is part of massive amounts of information collected by Navy SEALS during the Pakistan raid, including the list of names of Al-Qaeda operatives.
"I believe that they're under a lot of pressure to resolve and identify these people as quickly as possible," said Brad Garrett, Former FBI agent.
A CIA task force is working around the clock and an international manhunt is now underway to see if any operatives have entered the United States.
According to ABC News, there are references to plots on U.S. soils, including a{}push for an attack on or before the 10th anniversary of September 11.
Former FBI agents say attacks tend to take several months to plan - 9/11{}took two years to conceive and execute.

Ideal for pop, electro, house and a huge range of diverse genres, Neo Disco Guitars was constructed from scratch by our very own six-string virtuoso Sid, who says: "As a composer, guitarist and music producer I often find myself using funk inspired guitars to add some extra movement and groove to a track; be it funk inspired or not.

Whether they are electronic dance or organic live instrument based songs, you should find what you're looking for amongst these samples. All the samples were recorded with a Custom US Stratocaster and have been for the most part left bare and clean for you to run through whatever plug-ins you see fit. With some variants on tone and different amp models (VOX and Orange tube processors) you should find everything you're looking for and more in this Funk Guitar pack".
Strutting in with over 450MB of diamante studded samples, Neo Disco Guitars drops a shimmering mirrorball-clear selection of funky rhythms divided into 4 stacked folders of Amped, Clean, Extra Funk and Lead. The 'Amped' folder features a dirty overdriven collection of picked and strummed loops whilst the 'Clean' folder houses a crystal clear selection of super-catchy unadulterated chord sequences and riffs. Within 'Extra Funk' you'll find highly charged set of loops with a powerfully punchy town and the 'Lead' folder throws out a hot assortment of funky licks and riffs recorded through a balmy warm valve amplifier.Neo Disco Guitars totals at 184 stimulating samples straight into your DAW via direct download, delivered at an pure 24-bit sample rate. Each of these files can be dragged straight out of your download folder and dropped into any major piece of software.

necessities which should be distributed so that all are guaranteed a minimum of subsistence or else mercifully put out of existence. But as to the arts of leisure, freedom and individual self-expression must receive the maximum encouragement. For, alas, we are all imitative herd animals, and free variation is necessary for growth. I venture to think that no one will in the future write on the industrial discipline and the governmental arts without touching on this essential phase of human life.
Neither can I help noticing, in conclusion, that this book says nothing about international trade relations--surely an important factor in the workings of our economic system. Nor does Professor Tugwell refer to the population problem-- which seems to me like planning a dinner without taking into account the number of guests who are likely to come.
MEN have always been more willing to fight for their gods than to look at them too closely. This is certainly true of the modern god, Democracy. No modern subject, probably, has brought forth so much lyric liturgy and acrimonious debate devoid of illumination. In this country, at least, people are so intensely for anything covered by the word democratic that it is as difficult to get a clear analysis of what democracy really means as it is to get a fair statement of the case against Germany from a German professor. The reason is precisely the same in both cases. The cause of democracy, or of our country____________________

oh cool!
good stuff... gotta love maxwell, i played around with a bit a while back and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread! and the multi light feature is amazing, being able to alter the lighting post-render!
Ooh, nice Good to see you're back on the 3d again
lol are you saying my photography was crap
Hahaha, no- just that it's been a long time since I've seen a render from you, and they were really good
Only joking, you're shit at both
Only joking, you're shit at both
I love it, lighting is one of my favorite things in the 3D process, as well as in real life
Very good!
awesome man !!!, tell more about the lights and their configs... plz
I used spherical objects with 24 sides (the less amount of sides the quicker the render in Maxwell) I applied maxwell emitters to them with an efficiency of 18 plus the default 10000 intensity ratings. I also used a skydome with a level of 4 and white.
The textures have bump, specualar and diffuse maps applied.
Hope this helps

A New Platform for Glass Education, Support, and Community
Let me introduce you to Glass Art magazine's new podcast, Talking Out Your Glass! This biweekly show features interviews and discussions with world-renowned glass artists and respected experts in hot, warm, and cold glass. In Episodes 1 and 2, internationally respected artist, Narcissus Quagliata, discusses his 2013 book, Archetypes and Visions in Light and Glass, as well as highlights from his 40 years of groundbreaking glass projects. Subscribe on iTunes and Stitcher or go to the link on Glass Art magazine's website www.glassartmagazine, where you'll also find our upcoming Webinar schedule and back issues of the magazine.
The cover art for Talking Out Your Glass is a detail of Razzle Dazzle Boats by Studio Glass movement pioneer and Glass Art's May/June 2016 cover artist, Richard Marquis. Freely sharing his knowledge of Italian glassworking processes learned in Venice, Marquis demonstrated and taught throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The effect of Venetian glassblowing techniques on American studio glass enabled glass artists to expand their technical vocabularies and, combined with new and experimental approaches, led to the redefinition of glass as an artistic medium. Stay tuned for my interview with Marquis on Talking Out Your Glass.
This early summer issue also showcases the architectural cast glass of Walter Gordinier and blown and carved work from the U.K.'s Allister Malcolm and Helen Millard made during their collaborative residency at the Corning Museum of Glass. Additional features include a farewell to pioneer Marvin Lipofsky, Dr. Laura Schlessinger's glass art auctioned to help veterans through Operation Family Fund, and a look at the work of Ed Schmid and Dave Mireault, who harness excess furnace heat from their hot shop in support of additional cottage industries.
Follow Glass Art on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest, and subscribe now to Talking Out Your Glass, your podcast source for information, conversation, and developments in hot, warm, and cold glass.
Creating community through expanded glass coverage in print and online,

First Chapter
Published: December 2, 2001
(Page 3 of 3)
There is a more speculative etymology which gives the honour of naming to King Lud, who is supposed to have reigned in the century of the Roman invasion. He laid out the city's streets and rebuilt its walls. Upon his death he was buried beside the gate which bore his name, and the city became known as Kaerlud or Kaerlundein, "Lud's City." Those of sceptical cast of mind may be inclined to dismiss such narratives but the legends of a thousand years may contain profound and particular truths.
The origin of the name, however, remains mysterious. (It is curious, perhaps, that the name of the mineral most associated with the city—coal—also has no certain derivation.) With its syllabic power, so much suggesting force or thunder, it has continually echoed through history—Caer Ludd, Lundunes, Lindonion, Lundene, Lundone, Ludenberk, Longidinium, and a score of other variants. There have even been suggestions that the name is more ancient than the Celts themselves, and that it springs from some Neolithic past.
We must not necessarily assume that there were settlements or defended enclosures upon Ludgate Hill or Cornhill, or that there were wooden trackways where there are now great avenues, but the attractions of the site might have been as obvious in the third and fourth millennia bc as they were to the later Celts and Romans. The hills were well defended, forming a natural plateau, with the river to the south, fens to the north, marshes to the east, and another river, later known as the Fleet, to the west. It was fertile ground, well watered by springs bubbling up through the gravel. The Thames was easily navigable at this point, with the Fleet and the Walbrook providing natural harbours. The ancients trackways of England were also close at hand. So from earliest time London was the most appropriate site for trade, for markets, and for barter. The City has for much of its history been the centre of world commerce; it is perhaps instructive to note that it may have begun with the transactions of Stone Age people in their own markets.
All this is speculation, not altogether uninformed, but evidence of a more substantial kind has been discovered in later levels of London earth. In those long stretches of time designated as the "Late Bronze Age" and the "Early Iron Age"—a period spanning almost a thousand years—shards and fragments of bowls, and pots, and tools, were left all over London. There are signs of prehistoric activity in the areas now known as St. Mary Axe and Gresham Street, Austin Friars and Finsbury Circus, Bishopsgate and Seething Lane, with altogether some 250 "finds" clustered in the area of the twin hills together with Tower Hill and Southwark. From the Thames itself many hundreds of metal objects have been retrieved, while along its banks is to be found frequent evidence of metal-working. This is the period from which the great early legends of London spring. It is also, in its latter phase, the age of the Celts.
In the first century bc, Julius Caesar's description of the region around London suggests the presence of an elaborate, rich and well-organised tribal civilisation. Its population was "exceedingly large" and "the ground thickly studded with homesteads." The nature and role of the twin hills throughout this period cannot with certainty be given; perhaps these were sacred places, or perhaps their well-defined position allowed them to be used as hill-forts in order to protect the trade carried along the river. There is every reason to suppose that this area of the Thames was a centre of commerce and of industry, with a market in iron products as well as elaborate workings in bronze, with merchants from Gaul, Rome and Spain bringing Samian ware, wine and spices in exchange for corn, metals and slaves.
In the history of this period completed by Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1136, the principal city in the island of Britain is undoubtedly London. But according to modern scholars his work is established upon lost texts, apocryphal embellishments and uninformed conjecture. Where Geoffrey speaks of kings, for example, they prefer the nomenclature of tribes; he dates events by means of biblical parallel, while they provide indicators such as "Late Iron Age"; he elucidates patterns of conflict and social change in terms of individual human passion, where more recent accounts of prehistory rely upon more abstract principles of trade and technology. The approaches may be contradictory but they are not necessarily incompatible. It is believed by historians of early Britain, for example, that a people known as the Trinovantes settled on territory to the north of the London region. Curiously enough, Geoffrey states that the first name of the city was Trinovantum. He also mentions the presence of temples within London itself; even if they had existed, these palisades and wooden enclosures would since have been lost beneath the stone of the Roman city as well as the brick and cement of succeeding generations.

E-Commerce Content Strategy and Amazon's Goodreads Purchase
Why was Goodreads a necessary get for Amazon, a company that already had reviews and active discussion forums? Content discovery equates to product discovery for eCommerce. While Amazon's book suggestions are sometimes freakishly on-target, it's not the same as a personal recommendation from a friend.

Presently I have 10-11 bear/short positions in place. And in spite of the Board dolt's comments to the contrary all were posted real time as a matter of record. In addition,I adde NFLX at 215.71. And want to add Coach and several of the
new" high flyers ie. the consumer staple stocks which are selling at near record multiples. That and Cramer is banging the desk on them as buys right here.
Let bthe "blow off" run. And add in segments.
The global PMI's and the bond market rates here and in Germany are giving very serious global recessionary signals. India and remember thisd when it hits the headlines,has a serious banking crisis coming. China is on everyone
buy" list. Dismissing the slowdown there as "intentional" action by the Government. Pure mindless gibberish. They hsave a growth proble because of Europe and their real estate sector and ergo their bank loans affiliated with real estate
My overall performance YTD dropped today as the airlines and housing sectors moved higher. I might add to both sector short positions when the blow off abates. Is it tough to fight the action. Absolutely. But over the years I have done exceptionally well by being "early" and actually,considering thee parabolic move going on am still in very good shape.
The NFLX short play is a wild ride play. No doubt. But there are serious questions around that cos.'s business plan and execution.
I trust the real time posts - again - quiets the poopydoopy lads who spend most of their day dissing others.
GL to the players with real money in the game.
"10-11 bear/shorts"
I do wish you luck so...I believe your kissing your sister. You're not going to get
much out of playing that game. Its entertaining just like a weekend of betting
on football. You have yourself all over the place. Reduce by 50% to your top
"tza crash" Don't disagree with your observations. And probably will do so. But.what we just saw in the latest "mimi' crash (down 155 points in 1 1/2 minutes) is in my my opinion a preview of the future. This Market is a sham. There are NO bids underneath it. Period. A high stakes game of Financial Musical Chairs. And there are NO chairs. I'm comfortable being short the positions I have on. But agree on your basiic premise. GL
Shorted COH at 55.71
IMO, Cost of content/revenue on Netflix will catch up to them perhaps not for a one or two more quarters.
'adopt' I agree and it is one of the ptimary reasons for my short play. I do also believe that it will be sooner than that. But,even so,I can be patient. It is a big capital layout stock,but if they stumble the downside is 50% or more. I am not a fool and am fortunate to have "deep" pockets and will watch it carefully per the potential upside.
This Market has "bubble" emblazoned aaaaaal over it. It has for awhile for sure. But the disconnect has widened very sharply here. The global macro data is deteriorating at a pronounced level now. The Market will ignore it indefinitely.

Anta Group
BCR "Anta", is located at approximately 3,400 meters above sea level, in the community with the same name in the province of Acobamba. The main activities of the population are the growth of corn (lower altitudes), potatoes and wheat (higher altitudes), and people also have cows, bulls and sheep. In the small town the people have shops and proviD. several services. Currently the bank has completed its first loan cycle. The bank is just six months old with 10 female borrowers currently and a total loan of 4,400 soles (about $1,575 US). The loans range from 200 to 800 soles. The group was able to save over 2,100 soles (about $750 US) in the first loan cycle and will continue to save in the future.
Most members, during their first cycle, learned to do business. Previously most production was for auto-consumption, but more and more they have learned to do business and earn a little money with the work they do. Other very important things they learned are to save and to be responsible. With their savings they hope for their children to study and to be professionals.
One of the members of the community bank is María Dorotea C. B.. María buys sheep and sells them at local markets. With her 200 soles loan, she will buy more sheep and sell them. Sometimes she kills one of the sheep to sell the meat. Like most people in the area, she grows peas, barley, beans and corn her in a small field, but mostly for consumption by her family. In the first cycle she managed to save some money which she can use to buy school supplies now that school is starting again. She has learned in FINCA Perú to save and has received good advice about how to live in harmony with her family. Her dream for the future is to have all her children studying in five years, to have a bigger business, and to gain more experience.
Euforsinia P. S. is another member of the bank who has a business buying fruits in boxes that trucks bring all the way from Huancayo, one of the mayor cities in the central Andes. Euforsinia sells the fruit at local markets. Another business she runs is buying and selling pigs, guinea-pigs and sheep. Like all women in the community bank, she also has her fields with corn, peas and beans, most of the production being for auto-consumption. With her 300 soles loan, she will buy fruits. With her savings she is able to increase business by buying and selling more animals. In FINCA Peru she has learned to save, to be more responsible and to practice her values.
Additional Information
About FINCA PeruThis loan is administered by FINCA Peru, one of Kiva's Field Partners in Peru. FINCA Peru is dedicated to empowering socially and economically disadvantaged women in Peru, contributing to the development of their families, and building sustainable communities.
In 1990, FINCA Peru began by lending to a small group of women widowed by the Shining Path terrorist movement in Ayacucho. Beyond loans and financial services, FINCA offers business development training, personal and family development training, gender empowerment sessions, life insurance products, and financial and social literacy sessions for the children of borrowers. Visit FINCA Peru's Kiva Field Partner page to learn more.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

"Visting Romania from Smederevo" Top 5 Page for this destination Republic of Serbia Things to Do Tip by GyuriFT
Republic of Serbia Things to Do: 150 reviews and 170 photos
Do not know about any bus connections. For trains you either go back to Belgrade - or go to Dobreta Turnu Severin via Derdap Dam. Belgrade option sound easy but not very pleasant: there is only one direct train a day departing 15:55 and arriving 20:57 going via Pancevo-Vrsac-Stamora Moravita. That train is sloooow (and it's the Bucuresti "express"...). While in Belgrade, I did observe the cars of that train. Romanians sent their worst equipment and Serbs don't care less about that train (don't compare it with Beograd-Venice car or Avala train to Vienna, even to Thessaloniki looks much better).
The public transportation between Yugoslavia and Romania never was really good: mid 70-s/80-s nothing was developed because of Ceasuscu and later the Balkan-turmoil did not contribute positively.
The route via Derdap national park on the Serbia side, much closer to Smederevo sounds more interesting but requires several days: many things are worth to see even in Smederevo.
For instance there is a fairy-tale castle called Golubac: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golubac
Youtube (about Smederovo fortress): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV6hoEhW6w4
if you really want to go to Romania than go to Dobreta Turnu Severin across the Danube via the Derdap Dam.
What is interesting with Dobreta Turnu Severin: it has much better train transportation to Timisoara than Belgrade (5 trains a day, 3.5 hours) - look up at
The other road crossing to Romania at Bela Crkva won't help you much, the on at Turnu Severin is probably the nicest route.
It's worth to take a look at Romania's railway map to see, why is that:
Comments (1)
I was traveling to Romania from Belgrade with train and it was not a pleasure experience. Thank you for recommendation!
