Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Ti Windforce OC review -
GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2 and 3-way SLI - Perf results
GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2 and 3-way SLI - Perf results
On the following pages we'll show you charts done in multi-GPU mode. We'll keep the comments low and the pages filled to keep this as short as possible.
Please bare in mind that not for all comparative cards we have SLI and Crossfire results, this is an accumulation of multi-GPU records we have on file and include in the GTX 660 Ti SLI results.
First up is Far cry 2 again with the very same settings. As you can see if your target resolution is 19x12 then 2-way SLI really works out. 3-way starts to matter at 2560x1600 30" monitors and stuff beyond, like Surround monitor gaming..
If we place the results into a comparative multi-GPU chart at 19x12 then you'll notice that 2-way SLI is your way to go, GTX 660 Ti really works out in this solution.
Quickly moving on towards Battlefield Bad Company 2, again we'll use the quality settings in the multi-GPU benchmarks identical to the single GPU tests. So this is:
- Level Upriver
- DirectX 11 enabled
- 8x Multi-sample Anti-aliasing
- 16 Anisotropic filtering
- All image quality settings enabled at maximum
Great 2-way scaling at 19x12 (!), that will be the generic consensus in all the multi-GPU benchies.
From here we'll quickly load up Battlefield 3, 3-way SLi was not working. We ended with a DX11 error as the game started up. 2-way Scaling is excellent alright.
All test runs have enabled:
- Ultra mode
- 4x MSAA enabled
- 16x AF enabled
- HBAO enabled
We don't have too many multi-GPU results on the game available, but it's impressive enough for a set of mid-range cards alright.

The Sense of Entitlement to Violate the Law: Legal Disobedience as a Public versus a Private Reaction
Rattner, Arye, Yagil, Dana, Sherman-Segal, Camelia, Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal
This study examined citizens' sense of entitlement to violate the law as a public response to an action of state authorities or as a private response to the harmful behavior of another person. Questionnaires examining sense of entitlement to violate the law, moral reasoning, political orientation and attitudes toward the law were administered to 329 Israeli students. The results show that respondents felt more entitled to violate the law as a public action than as an act of personal retaliation. Public law violation directed toward authorities was found to be most strongly related to political orientation. Nevertheless private law violation directed toward another person is related to the absence of a sense of obligation to comply with the law and to a lack of trust in legal authorities. Moral reasoning and religiosity were found to be indirectly related to both types of law violation. The results are discussed in regard to different types of triggers for law violation.
The obligation of a citizen to comply with state laws has intrigued scholars from various disciplines. Philosophers have argued for and against the obligation to comply with state laws that contradict an individual's private conscience. Social scientists have explored the factors relating to the commitment to the rule of law such as moral reasoning (Kohlberg, 1969), normative and instrumental compliance (Tyler, 1990), and legal culture (Bierbrauer, 1994; Gibson & Caldeira, 1996). In what situations do citizens who consider themselves law- abiding feel that they have the right to violate the law? Is there a difference between the violation of laws as a public reaction to the acts of state authorities and as a private reaction to another person's acts? This study explores the relationship of personal beliefs and attitudes toward the law with the sense of entitlement to violate state laws as a public or private reaction.
Kohlberg (1969) described several stages of moral reasoning representing the developmental changes in the individual's view of authority and the duty to comply with its laws. According to Kohlberg's theory, a person's view of moral principles is likely to be related to the sense of entitlement to violate state laws in cases when laws and moral beliefs come into conflict. Research has shown that values relating to religious beliefs also affect acceptance of the rule of law (Bierbrauer, 1994; Gibson & Caldeira, 1996). In Israel, lower levels of commitment to legal obedience were found among ultraorthodox Jews compared to the general Jewish population (Rattner, Yagil, & Pedhazur, 2001; Yagil & Rattner, 2002).
The relationship between legal obedience and political orientation has been examined with regard to the moderating effect of moral reasoning. For example, several studies show that right-wing ideology is related to conventional moral reasoning in which the rule of law is highly respected, whereas left-wing ideology is related to higher level principled reasoning drawing on abstract principles such as democracy and human rights (Lind, Sandberger & Bargel, 1985; Nassi, Abramowitz & Yousmans, 1983; Simplson, 1994). However, other studies have demonstrated that conventional and postconventional reasoning are found among both right- and left-wing voters (Elmer, Renwick & Malone, 1983; Sparks & Durkin, 1987). Yagil and Rattner (2002) found lower levels of acceptance of the rule of law among right-wing voters compared to left-wing voters in Israel. In most studies conducted in Europe and the US, the distinction between left and right parallels the distinction between liberal and conservative, based mainly on socioeconomic issues. In Israel, the distinction between left and right is more strongly related to political issues emphasizing matters of security (Ventura & Shamir, 1988). One can thus assume that in Israel, too, the distinction between left and right political ideologies will be mirrored in the interpretation of various other issues related to justice, equality, human rights, and state and religion. …

OPINION: We Need to Develop Talent So Video Game Industry Can Grow
AS THE new government grapples with the difficult economic conditions facing the UK, they have recognised the special ability of our creative industries to create wealth via the spearheading of new business models and their wider energising impact on the economy. In this context, the new coalition has made it clear that they see the games industry as being of particular interest.
Like them or loathe them, 70% of the UK population now enjoys playing games. Revenues from software sales today are approximately $45bn worldwide. Some say it is now the largest entertainment industry in the world. In addition, the UK is also very good at producing great games. So it is no surprise that the new government is looking at how it can foster and expand this industry.
One of the main levers to do this is not with software or hardware. It is with brains. In short, we need to develop the right sort of new talent with the right skills to move this important sector of the economy forward.
Naturally the North West wants a slice of this action, with forward looking companies like Sony Computer Entertainment seeding and supporting higher education degree courses, and the MediaCity development at Salford Quays set to become a base for a games usability centre where students get a chance to prototype new games ideas. …

In 1990, after a decade and a half working for Italian design brand Alessi, Projects founder Jack Markuse established his company with the intention of introducing the American public to the best international designers and architects. He did this by commissioning the likes of Michael Graves, Stanley Tigerman and Takenobu Igarashi to create a diverse range of household products, from bathroom accessories to weathervanes – and watches.
Projects started producing watches in 1992 – and first up was Graves' now-iconic OH Watch. In 1998 the brand's famous Building Timepieces collection was released, a project which saw 17 architects design original timepieces for the brand, among them Kisho Kurokawa, Moshe Safdie, Coop Himmelb(l)au and Richard Gluckman. The result established Projects' tradition of experimental, design-led watchmaking, something that continues today with products like Denis Guidone's Crossover and Sometimes pieces.
Milan native Guidone works across the design, architecture and communication disciplines. He studied at the Politecnico of Milano and Faup Porto in Portugal before setting up an atelier in his home city. He has produced furniture, stationary and accessories for brands such D3CO and Nava. Guidone describes his watch designs, which subvert normal modes of displaying the time, as "provocative and paradoxical essays in object-making". The Italian designer particularly likes to play with juxtaposition, discontinuity and optical illusion in the design of his watch faces – as he explains: "It might seem strange, but I hate designing watches. I prefer to think in terms of designing time."

Irrevocable Trusts and the Reverse Mortgage Opportunity
January 6th, 2010 | by RevaPublished inFHA, News, Reverse Mortgage | 135 Comments
Irrevocable trusts can now be used for reverse mortgages, according to Paul N. Lovegrove Esq., President of Attorney Trust Review.
While traditionally reverse mortgages have not been permissible if the home is in an irrevocable trust, Lovegrove says there is no basis for the policy, adding that there is, "Nothing in the HECM guidelines that says you can't use an irrevocable trust."
Although lenders cant sell a reverse mortgage with an irrevocable trust to Fannie Mae, the recent growth of Ginnie Mae's HMBS program has provided an opportunity for HECMs.
Lovegrove, an attorney who has been closing reverse loans for thirteen years and performs trust reviews for many lenders, including MetLife, proposes drawing up an agreement to the irrevocable trust that is agreed upon by all parties as a way to comply with the guideline.
An irrevocable trust may also not qualify for a reverse mortgage if one of the current beneficiaries does not meet HECM guidelines, amongst other things. All current beneficiaries of a trust must be HECM eligible for a HECM to be done on the home.
In addition, irrevocable trusts can pose a problem when the trust does not allow invasion of the principle by the settler. However, a lump sum distribution deposited into a bank account controlled by the estate can help solve this issue.
Lovegrove thinks that banks are not doing reverse mortgages on irrevocable trusts because they "never thought they could." But Lovegrove adds, "By saying we can't do it that's closing out a lot of potential business that's out there."

Mom's Exceptionally Hot Tabasco Sauce
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 504 hrs
I dearly love gardening. I especially enjoy growing peppers. Tabasco peppers are such fun. They are the most wonderful color and so small. Who would expect them to be so hot! Although Jalapenos are my favorite in flavor, Tabascos are my favorite to grow for my loved ones who like HOT! It is ready when finished, but best if it is allowed to stand.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 226.79 g white vinegar
- 100 hot peppers (Tabasco)
- Start with a glass canning jar filled halfway with white vinegar.
- Daily pick the bright orange Tabascos.
- Wear latex glove on squeezing hand!
- Pick up pepper by stem with other hand.
- Squeeze juice into jar, and drop in pepper.
- When jar is completely full, strain and decant into bottles with tiny spouts.
- I do not process as I use sterile jars, and it is a vinegar solution.
- Use with discretion.

Very neat recipe! You can use other types of peppers, not just Tabasco. I planted a Serano plant and it took off. In So. Indiana, I just picked my last crop this weekend. It's November 20! I've made this twice now and it turns out great! I added a pinch of Kosher salt and boiled my sauce after straining to thicken a bit. Tastes better than store bought.
Wow! It never occured to me that this was possible! Thanks! I am going to be making my own tabasco sauce, and I'm going to try this with my Dad's deadly tiny hot peppers.
WOW - (ouch!) This is a deadly mix! I used birds eye chillis and it worked well. I bottled up and gave to the chilli lovers for Chrissy, apparently crying is good when it comes to this sauce? Will be making again - thank you for the recipe!

The American Chemistry Council's latest contribution of $500,000 to the campaign against Seattle's proposed 20-cent fee on disposable shopping bags is one of the city's largest ballot-measure donations in recent history.
The American Chemistry Council has provided $500,000 to help fight Seattle's plan to charge consumers 20 cents for disposable shopping bags.
Adam Parmer, spokesman for the campaign to turn back the Seattle ordinance, said the money given over the weekend will pay for radio ads and direct-mail efforts against Referendum 1, which goes before voters Aug. 18.
It's the single largest contribution to a local ballot-measure in recent history, according to Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission staff.
The money comes from the Progressive Bag Affiliates of the Virginia-based American Chemistry Council, the prime backers of the Coalition to Stop the Bag Tax, which last year gave the campaign about $239,000.

Most Read Stories
The campaign began placing anti-bag-fee ads on the Internet over the weekend, Parmer said, and radio ads should start airing this week.
Mayor Greg Nickels proposed and the City Council approved the bag fee to encourage the use of reusable bags and reduce waste. The ordinance was put on hold when opponents gathered enough signatures to put the measure to a public vote.
If voters approve the ordinance, Seattle would become the first U.S. city to target plastic and paper.
Backers of the ordinance said their opponent's cash boost does not alter their plans.
"It's what we were anticipating from the outset," said Rob Gala of the Seattle Green Bag Campaign, which has so far raised about $65,000. "We see that this vote is essentially about one of the world's largest polluters telling a city what it can and cannot do in terms of waste reduction."
The $500,000 deposit is the largest to a Seattle ballot measure in at least a decade. It exceeds two donations of $400,000-plus in 2006 to Seattle Citizens for Free Speech from strip-club operators who fought successfully to repeal the city's strip-club ordinance.
Still, the anti-bag-fee campaign's total of nearly $750,000 falls short of the Free Speech campaign's total for 2006 of $861,000, as well as the anti-monorail Yes on I-83 campaign's total for 2004 of $892,000.

The Sorcerers and Their Apprentices: How the Digital Magicians of the MIT…
by Frank Moss
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This serves as a nice companion piece to The Department of Mad Scientists, an excellent showcase of what's up our government's technological sleeve. Whereas here, the showcase is the MIT Media Lab. The book is certainly filled with its wonders, much inspiring, but it also has its flaws. The author is a bit rambly, and could have used help with his sentence structure. Most glaring for me is that he failed to discuss what exactly his job was on a daily basis. That would have been some key information to know. From the looks of it, he just shows people around the place. I'm certain there must be more to it.
A wonderfully interesting book briefly outlining the type of creativity and ingenuity and one of the world's most famous labs. Remarkable achievements in artificial intelligence, robotics, biomechanics, etc. Inspiring - one of the few books nowadays that can assure you that the future will be brighter.
Frank Moss can write about the Media Labs of MIT where he is the director, but he has a lot to learn about telling a compelling story. Their are far too many errors of English that the man should not have found a literature major in all the colleges of the Boston area to correct his work.
Added to that, as a story, the Media Labs are done a disservice for someone who is not drinking the cool-aid should have taken a look at the work. 8 chapters to tell the tale of what should be one of the greatest places for innovation in the USA. What we get are many examples of great technology that because the author wants to make the book sound current, are for projects that are going on now, or six months ago, and are not finished and so you don't know if the technology that he spouts is going to bear fruit. A year from now, or two, when someone picks up the book, you will get an even worse sense of the Media Lab not being able to complete a project.
I am sure that the PHds of the media lab will appreciate this. Too much time is spent dropping names and double dropping them, instead of showcasing that the technology at the Media Lab should be blowing all of our socks off. The book thus reads as the Freshman introduction to the lab. Not something that those who think that Tech is fantastic and want to know about the history of it, as well as how we will use it in the next ten years will find of use.
If Moss had given us a better ratio of recent wins, showing how we are now using what the Lab has thought of. How the labs partnerships really work, instead of a paragraph saying how it was started. We might see how this really is a great think tank. Or even as Moss wants us to believe, where America's Sorcerers are.
In the end, Moss fails. How do I know that this is a better place then where the brains of Google are, or Apple, or IBM. Why do I want to believe that the Media Lab, and there are apparently other labs at MIT that he does not really talk of that develop Tech as well, is the best of them. With Moss writing in the way he has, I do not.
Shame, because the potential is really there for a much better book. Moss should consider Sorcery 2.0 and talk to someone like Garrison Kellior. We may find that all the Sorcerers are Intelligent, Handsome, and really making magic real.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307589102, Hardcover)If you've ever read a book on an e-reader, unleashed your inner rock star playing Guitar Hero, built a robot with LEGO Mindstorms, or ridden in a vehicle with child-safe air bags, then you've experienced first hand just a few of the astounding innovations that have come out of the Media Lab over the past 25 years. But that's old hat for today's researchers, who are creating technologies that will have a much deeper impact on the quality of people's lives over the next quarter century.
In this exhilarating tour of the Media Lab's inner sanctums, we'll meet the professors and their students - the Sorcerers and their Apprentices - and witness first hand the creative magic behind inventions such as:
* Nexi, a mobile humanoid robot with such sophisticated social skills she can serve as a helpful and understanding companion for the sick and elderly.
* CityCar, a foldable, stackable, electric vehicle of the future that will redefine personal transportation in cities and revolutionize urban life.
* Sixth Sense, a compact wearable device that transforms any surface – wall, tabletop or even your hand - into a touch screen computer.
* PowerFoot, a lifelike robotic prosthesis that enables amputees to walk as naturally as if it were a real biological limb.
Through inspiring stories of people who are using Media Lab innovations to confront personal challenges - like a man with cerebral palsy who is unable to hum a tune or pick up an instrument yet is using an ingenious music composition system to unleash his "inner Mozart", and a woman with a rare life-threatening condition who co-invented a revolutionary web service that enables patients to participate in the search for their own cures - we'll see how the Media Lab is empowering us all with the tools to take control of our health, wealth, and happiness.
Along the way, Moss reveals the highly unorthodox approach to creativity and invention that makes all this possible, explaining how the Media Lab cultivates an open and boundary-less environment where researchers from a broad array of disciplines – from musicians to neuroscientists to visual artists to computer engineers - have the freedom to follow their passions and take bold risks unthinkable elsewhere.
The Sorcerers and Their Apprentices can serve as a blueprint for how to fix our broken innovation ecosystem and bring about the kind of radical change required to meet the challenges of the 21st century. It is a must-read for anyone striving to be more innovative as an individual, as a businessperson, or as a member of society.
Also includes 16 pages of color photos highlighting some of the lab's most visually stunning inventions - and the people who make them possible.

Growing Garlic
If you love garlic, you'll love what growing it at home can do for its flavor. Not only can you harvest it fresh, but you can try out lots of different varieties that aren't available to you in the grocery store. There are hundreds of varieties, each varying in color, spiciness and usefulness in methods of cooking.
The success of your crop depends in large part on when you plant. Fall is the best time, aiming for a planting window that's early enough to achieve good root development before the ground freezes and not so early that you have significant top growth. Usually that means planting garlic about the same time as spring-flowering bulbs. In Minnesota, that might mean mid to late September; November or even early December is usually the best time in the coastal regions of Virginia. To be certain about the right time in your area, check with your local extension office or trusted garden center.
Besides the timing, a few other factors are essential in getting a good crop of garlic:

Welcome to the 2016 Human Rights Film Series
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
--Anaïs Nin
Plato had it right. We live in caves of our own making. What we see projected on the walls of our own realities is often illusionary-fragmented, flickering images of the ultimate truth.
As the Cuban-American novelist Anaïs Nin suggests, we prefer to interpret reality through our own myopic lenses. As a result, we all too often ignore the perspectives of others-particularly if they challenge our world views-and choose to silence the voices of those who threaten to "make noise" and disturb us in our comfortable bubbles.
We don't want to hear about the deplorable working conditions of women laboring in the sweat shops of Bangladesh to produce the clothes we wear. We look the other way when we encounter a homeless person begging for food on the street. We don't want to think about the migrant workers toiling in the Florida and California heat for a few dollars a day while we are enjoying a lunchtime salad. We prefer to carry around with us our own stereotypical image of what an illegal immigrant is (a certain candidate for President comes to mind), rather than meeting and getting to know an undocumented immigrant, and hearing his or her personal stories, fears, and dreams.
And those who lead our institutions-be they administrators of universities, clerics of the Catholic Church, or our elected officials-all too often choose to keep their constituencies in the dark, silencing victims of abuse so they do not blemish the sacred reputations of their organizations, preferring that those they serve not be made aware of what really happens behind closed doors.
After all, what you don't know, as the old adage goes, won't hurt you. The problem is that it is precisely our very lack of knowledge that can hurt others. Our insensitivity to what it really takes to put food on our tables and clothes on our backs makes us partially compliant with human rights abuses around the world. Our blindness to what happens behind the scenes between Corporate America and Big Government that can result in the abuse of power, which in turn can impact our health, welfare, the economy and the environment.
We prefer not to see what we prefer not to know. But that strikes at the very core of what an education is supposed to be all about. It also cuts to the essence of what it means to be human. The purpose of an education, as Lacan stated, is to negate our identities-to shatter our myopic lenses, and allow us to see the world as it is. And if we are to call ourselves citizens of the world, we cannot walk through life with our personal earplugs blocking out the voices of others, listening only to our own playlist.
And that is the purpose of this film series. To take the rest of the world off mute. To give voice to the silent. To shake all of us out of our bubbles of complacency.
The Hunting Ground shatters the conspiracy of silence about sexual abuse on college campuses. Merchants of Doubt exposes the corporate lobbyists and pay-to-play pundits who lurk in the shadows of the pillars of government. Food Chains lifts the veil on the working conditions of migrants in Immokalee, Florida (where the University has an active student mission), while Don't Tell Anyone tells the story of a brave young girl who "came out" as a proud but troubled undocumented student, giving hope to others. Place at the Table depicts the silent suffering of the millions of Americans who do not know where their next meal is coming from. The True Cost is a film that will make us think twice the next time we go to buy a new pair of jeans, a dress or a shirt.
They are films of oppression, but they are also films of hope, showing us how those afflicted and abused are fighting to break the silence and coming together in solidarity to right egregious wrongs and achieve dignity and justice.
After watching the films, as students and citizens, we need to ask ourselves only one question-will we retreat back into our personal caves and continue to see things "as we are," or will we help break the silence and join in solidarity with others to help create a society that is better for all of us, and not just a fortunate few?

text: Picked it up today, finally found it in normal (ie relatively cheap) paperback. A few comments ensue, in no real order. If you haven't read it, then you might not want to read this. -The infamous Torturer class ROU must have been the most commonly built Culture warship, as one appears yet again. Interestingly, the general design of it seems to have shifted. Instead of the infamous dildo of doom associated up till now with most OUs, it's essentially an engine cluster with weapons attached, and appeared almost cobbled together. Interesting change in description. Perhaps the class only distinguishes between ships with roughly equivalent capabilities, with the ones seen previously beeing 'civilized' and more aesthetic, whereas this one is unaltered from the original war model. -The Homomdans are stated as being ahead of the Culture during the Idiran war, sufficiently so that the Culture didn't want to bring them fully into the war on the Idiran's side. They are also much older than the Culture, giving them an age in at least several tens of thousands of years. However, they seem to have eschewed the extensive personal alteration of the Culture. Is this due to religious reasons, did they never indulge in it, or have they simply grown out of it? -The Culture seems to maintain a fairly significant fleet around the Chelgrian sphere. Why? A single ROU could inflict untold damage to the Chelgrian infrastructure, they apparently lack displacer, effector and orbital construction techology, and give the impression of being less advanced than the Affront. This speaks for a civilization much less advanced, so why so many ships? -The GSV Sanctioned Parts List actually had an escort, thic coupled with the Hub's comment about having to get ready for a war setting at one point in the recentish past suggests that the galaxy may not be quite so friendly as it used to be. -Hub states a GCV is under construction. Now, is this a simple typo of GSV or GCU, or are we looking at a previously-unseen class of ship, perhaps an oversized GCU? -The device used in the attempt to kill Hub was of a much higher tech level than the Chelgrians possesed, in fact it's implied that a (perhaps) rogue element in the Culture itself was behind it. We've seen other Minds try similar stunts, although they normally try to avoid killing other Minds. One theory put forward is that Culture Minds may be doing this simply to keep the Culture as a whole engaged and 'on it's toes'. Obviously, this is MiB, Interesting Time Club level stuff. Banks seems to be putting more evidence of the Culture being in direct warfare in his more recent books (Excession, and LtW specifically) and is also bringing up the whole Mind cabal theme. Perhaps the future of the Culture holds a large scale 'revolt' pitting Mind against Mind, with one or more smaller civilization stuck on the sharp end of the Culture's war machine. -The Chelgrians are referred to as the 'Lesser Reviled' in connection with the Sansemin. Is this connected to a minor point I missed earlier, or simply a subtle hint that the Chelgrian arrogance (I suppose) is going to doom them sooner or later. That's all for now.

A famine exists when large numbers of people cannot get enough food for long periods of time. People in a famine may die from starvation or disease. There have been famines throughout history and in all parts of the world.
- famine - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
A famine is defined as an extreme and long-term shortage of food that results in widespread malnutrition and death by mass starvation and disease. Famines have occurred since ancient times in most parts of the world, although they usually strike in poor countries. They can affect the whole country, or they may be regional. Famines usually last for a limited time, ranging from a few months to a few years. They cannot continue indefinitely because the population experiencing the famine eventually would recover or would be destroyed.

The state anti-power theft squad visited actor Kamal Haasan's lawyer's house Wednesday hours after a court reimposed a ban on the film-maker's movie in Tamil Nadu.
Officials of Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Ltd. (TANGEDCO) from the anti-power theft wing barged into lawyer P.S. Raman's house to check power theft.
"The visit by TANGEDCO officials and my appearing for Kamal Haasan in the 'Vishwaroopam' ban case is not linked. Perhaps it was bad timing of the squad to inspect my residence on the pretext of checking power theft," Raman told IANS.
A single-judge bench of the Madras High Court had Tuesday lifted the ban on Haasan's movie "Vishwaroopam". A two-judge bench of the high court Wednesday reimposed the ban on the movie.
Raman argued against the ban on the movie in the high court for Haasan.
He said the power theft issue was resolved after senior officials of TANGEDCO intervened and apologised.
"Their contention was that I am paying domestic tariff while using my residence as an office. I told them that for the past 50 years my office has been in my house," Raman, former advocate general of Tamil Nadu, said.
Raman's father, late V.P. Raman, was also a former advocate general of Tamil Nadu.
According to the manager at Raman's office, around 10 TANGEDCO officials barged into the house.
"They checked the power meter and the wiring. We told them to send their notice in writing and that they could not just barge into a senior advocate's house," the manager told IANS.
He said the officials were at Raman's residence for around 45 minutes.

Israel's Policy of Targeting Terrorists: Implications for the U.S
Zaharna, R. S., Foreign Policy in Focus
Key Points
* Washington appears to be condoning a government policy of extrajudicial killings by Israel.
* Extrajudicial killings cannot be justified even during armed conflicts.
* The appearance of U.S. support for Israel's policy of extrajudicial killings jeopardizes U.S. political credibility internationally, damages U.S. relations in the Arab world, and weakens U.S. policy objectives.
Israel has stated publicly that it intends to pursue a policy of targeting and killing Palestinian militants. To generate support for its policy, Israel opened new public affairs offices, created a delicate vocabulary, and presented an emotionally compelling argument. Many American policymakers, officials, and media commentators have echoed Israeli arguments. However, what American officials are advocating in their support for Israel is a state-sanctioned policy of extrajudicial killing. This is unprecedented.
Most governments that conduct assassinations, whether of dissidents, political adversaries, or members of rebel groups, either conduct them covertly or categorically deny them. No government can implement a state policy of executing people without due legal proceedings and not incur international condemnation. Such killings violate international humanitarian law, international criminal law, and human rights protocols.
Under the Fourth Geneva Convention (ratified by Israel in 1951), extrajudicial killings constitute "grave breaches" and are subject to international jurisdiction. The severity that the U.S. attaches to extrajudicial killings is reflected in the State Department's annual human rights report. The first item listed under its accounting of human rights abuses is extrajudicial killings. Even Israeli law, for reasons of moral conviction, prohibits the death penalty for Israeli citizens.
Human rights instruments stipulate that when a government suspects an individual of criminal or subversive activity, that government is obligated to capture and try the person. The government must present its evidence against the individual under a transparent judicial process of inquiry. To date, the Israeli government has offered no proof of guilt nor right of defense for the Palestinians it has killed. Moreover, several of the Palestinians killed had frequently passed through Israeli checkpoints where they could easily have been captured. Citing counterterrorism and security measures does not absolve Israel of its judicial obligations.
Extrajudicial killings cannot be justified even during armed conflicts. In January, Israel used this situational pretext to suspend investigations of killings by its security forces, creating what Amnesty International called "a culture of impunity." Under international law, exceptional circumstances "including a state of war or threat of war, internal instability, or any other public emergency" may not be invoked to justify executions by a state. International law does not allow for willful killings under any circumstances.
Israeli officials have avoided the legal term extrajudicial killings as well as the political term assassinations, using instead "hitting Palestinian targets," "pinpointing attackers," and "neutralizing" or "liquidating" the organizers of attacks. Initially, the policy was labeled "preemptive operations," then "interception," and more recently, "active self-defense." The term self-defense is strategic, given that U.S. law prohibits the sale of weapons for other than defensive purposes.
Israel has argued its case of active self-defense exclusively within the context of the current 11-month Intifada, omitting its role as an occupying power in the Palestinian territories for the past 34 years. This glaring omission gives the appearance that Palestinian actions are occurring in a political vacuum rather than in response to the prolonged Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory.
Israel says that it goes "to great lengths not to harm innocent bystanders. …

Posted by Erik Manassy on Nov 25, 2013 in Main, Opinion | 17 comments
Geno Smith is a rookie, and yes he is struggling. In his post game conference, he was asked what "what isn't clicking" in regards to his last couple of games, and Geno responded that he doesn't want to put his finger on any one issue. If he was open to the question, maybe he would say he has happy feet, he's a deer in headlights, the game is too fast, he's locking in on his first read or maybe that's what a fan would say watching the games.
Geno's answer is the type one gives to dodge the question and give a vanilla answer, and to be honest I would have given the same answer.
The question that needs to be answered, is this all Geno's fault for the poor play of the offense or can we look elsewhere:
Now many fans are saying that the real issue is Rex Ryan. He is setting up his quarterback for failure. I mean, it almost seems like we are seeing a clone in Mark Sanchez from the last couple of seasons. Everyone knows that Rex Ryan isn't an offensive minded coach, and he is brilliant when it comes to defense, but as we go further into the season, it appears that Rex jumps in and out of the coaching hot seat.
Will GM John Idzik keep Rex on board, is Geno failing his audition, and will the team take a different direction in the upcoming weeks in regards to the starting QB? With the playoffs still in reach (I know, can you believe it), the Jet must decide if they are going to make a run and the post season with a struggling rookie, or a veteran who hasn't seen the field. Oh, and then there is the option to play Matt Simms, but in my honest opinion, is not the future of the franchise. He is a great raw talent but so is Geno.
Geno Smith did not wear a suit, even for 5 mins, at today's news conference, just to mess with me, probably pic.twitter.com/SYnyFE1NKl

I think the Jets made their bed with Geno and they should take the cuffs off the rookie and let it fly. Of course, with all the bullet points I made above, will that be enough for Geno to dig himself out of the hole the Jets have put him in?
I'm tired of the conservative game planning. Let him throw it deep. He's got the arm.
Yes but… Doesn't that cause more turnovers?
Chicken-egg scenario. Current conservative gameplan allows defense to load box and sit on routes,and leads to 3rd and longs, all of which causes TOs.
I'm with sb3champs though… take off the hand cuffs and let him let it fly. NOW, the issue is the wide receivers. If guys can't get open AND they drop balls (6) last game, the guy is going to get frustrated or worse, lose confidence in the player. I think he's all but given up on Hill.
I think Salas can go get it and ditto Nelson. We will never know unless we utilize our players.
Yeah and Hill has been just a disappoint to me. I want to love that guy but he's been a ghost.
Hill will get it turned around in time. too much talent to waste. I wish hed fight for the ball!
I wish he'd be more aggressive as well…
It could result in INTS but it could also open up the field for the run game to prosper. Then Geno will come alive! He has a great arm.
No QB can survive for long with ultra conservative game plans and a poor run game. The receivers are another story and the OL is horrible. Its a stacked deck against Geno.
Didn't everyone say the SAME thing about Mark Sanchez though?
oops. I posted in the wrong location. Yes same was said about Sanchez and it was true. Geno has vastly more talent then Mark and he must be allowed to use it! As Parcells said: IF YOU HAVE A CANNON, FIRE IT!
Yeah I agree with you… Fire away.
we can win three or four more games. We must try. If Geno has lost confidence, yes, lets sit him down for a game. but Id hesitate to use SIMMS. Id try Garrard first.
Yes they did. But Sanchez does not have the talent that Geno possesses. The guy can run and throw. REX is keeping him in a bad way. He did do it to Sanchez too. It can not be allowed to go on much longer. The NFL is now a passing league.
Tell that to Rex or whoever is calling the plays. PLEASE stop the wild cat. I can't stand it.
Me too! In fact I hate it!

Here's Everything We Know About A Ride Along Sequel
By Sean O'Connell 2014-02-05 14:35:16 comments
Yeah, But Will Kevin Hart Be In It?Youd assume, right? Hit movies rarely come back for a sequel without bringing the principle players back into the fold. Then again, there were multiple Friday sequels that stopped leaning on Cube and Chris Tucker, so anythings possible. But while giving an interview to The Russ Parr Morning Show, Cube said that even though he had to "carry" Kevin Hart through the bulk of Ride, he joked, " His little ass is going to do Ride Along 2!"
You have to wonder when, though. Hart will be promoting all sorts of movies over the next few months, from About Last Night to Think Like a Man, Too. There going to have to film around his schedule. So long as the script is solid, though, everyone should be back. Which brings us to our next point
The Sequel Has No Interest In Recycling JokesThe stars of Storys film were asked about a sequel multiple times on the publicity circuit for Ride Along. The most in-depth answers went to the Wall Street Journal, who talked to the duo about how theyd approach a sequel. Cube said:
"When we do the sequel, were not going to be borrowing jokes from the first one. Were going to do a whole new movie thats going to be fresh and fly."
While Hart said that they always wanted this movie to stand in a group of cop films that eventually birthed sequel, from Lethal Weapon and Rush Hour to the Bad Boys films. "(Cubes) whole goal was to make sure that we were part of that conversation," Hart said.
Story is a pro at sequels, having helmed two Fantastic Four movies and now two Think Like a Man films. He doesnt have anything on his docket after Think Like a Man, Too, due in theaters on June 20. Could he get the Ride Along band back together for a second film shortly after? We shall see.

Although the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred mode of dialysis vascular access, AVF maturation failure remains a huge clinical problem, often resulting in a prolonged duration of use of tunneled dialysis catheters. In contrast, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts do not suffer from early failure, but have significant problems with later stenosis and thrombosis. This review will initially summarize the pathology and pathogenesis of PTFE graft dysfunction and will then use this as a basis for describing some novel therapies, which may have the potential to reduce PTFE graft dysfunction. Finally, we will emphasize that the introduction of such therapies could be an important first step toward individualizing overall vascular access care.

I never thought the day would come. I graduated from PA school with my Master's degree!
Over the weekend, our program had a board review, so it was nice to be back in Philly! Even though the days were jam-packed with hours of lectures, it was so good to see all of my classmates. Our class also had a happy hour in the city on Friday night, so we were able to celebrate the end of the past 2+ years! It was sad realizing that I won't see many of these people after graduation. We all spent so much time together, and I honestly met great friends in this program. I can't wait to see where everyone ends up!
It was such a weird feeling to sit in the same exact seats we did two years ago and to think how far we have come! I made sure to continue my old routine of getting coffee from my favorite cart outside the hospital (even though everyone claims the cup smells like "cart food")! I am also more hooked on Starbucks Mistos after many visits over the past few days (sorry, Wawa)! After getting home from my last day of board review, my parents surprised me with a new watch for graduation. I love it!
This morning, my family, B, and I headed back into the city for graduation! We finally got our long white coats!! At the reception, faculty displayed our graduate projects. You can see part of my project at this website, on celiac disease during pregnancy.
After graduation, we headed to Continental for a celebratory dinner. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Philly. My sister and I love going here for brunch, and this was my first time eating dinner here. It did not disappoint! We ordered a few appetizers, including roasted red pepper & feta dip, shoestring fries, and cheesesteak eggroll. I ordered the lobster macaroni and cheese for dinner, and we will have plenty of leftovers this week! My favorite dessert was definitely the blondie. B got an expresso, and we thought he looked so silly with this little cup!
Thank you so much to my family, friends, and B for being so encouraging and positive over the past 2 years. I honestly don't know what I would have done without you being there, supporting me every step of the way (even when I was a huge stress-ball). Love you!
So now that graduation is over, I will be studying for the boards and hopefully sneaking in some Christmas shopping and fun in there!😉
Does anyone else love "cart coffee" as much as I do?
Are you done your Christmas shopping? Any good deals you have found?

Police Officers in So Paulo, sit down with protesters in respect and support to the manifestation.
Durring second week of protests against corruption in Brazil.
Police Officers in So Paulo, sit down with protesters in respect and support to the manifestation.
On Friday, May 31, Turkish riot police fired tear gas and pepper spray into a peaceful protest held to save Gezi Park, one of the last green areas in central Istanbul. This set off the biggest civil uprising in the history of the Turkish Republic, calling for Prime Minister Erdogans resignation. The unrest has spread like wildfire to more than 60 cities where protests are still ongoing. We landed in Istanbul the day it all kicked off.

Former lead singer of the Dead Kennedys Jello Biafra may appear to have little to do with the world of hackers. But all one has to do is look at the many injustices we've faced over the years and the ominous overtones of what lies ahead - more laws, more crackdowns, more global controls with little or no oversight, and plenty more prisons.
There is no better spokesperson for the ongoing fight of the individual vs. the system than Jello. What we in the hacker world are going through extends far beyond the world of computers - the issues of free speech that we're engaged in will have an effect on people everywhere for a very long time to come.
By the same token, we must remain aware of what's going on in the rest of the world or we won't see what's coming. We guarantee - Jello WILL wake you up. This is also the first time ever that a presidential candidate has addressed a hacker convention.
On August 6th 2011, people gathered in Tottenham, London, to protest the police shooting of a local man, Mark Duggan. The protest devolved into a city-wide spate of riots, looting and arson. This is the story of the first terrifying hours and how one small protest turned into a national crisis.

There is a belief that Americans got into economic turmoil because of living beyond their means. Robert Reich (Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley, and former Labor Secretary) explains why this a myth, that most Americans do not live beyond their means and that their "means" have not kept up with the economy. Where has the wealth accumulated and why aren't the top of the top being surtaxed while average-earning and the poor shoulder the burden?

We would like to remind you of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The purpose of Operation Iraqi Freedom was to remove all weapons of mass destruction, as well as to secure a better democracy for the citizens of Iraq. In the process of securing that democracy, It meant the protection of Iraqi citizens from an unjust government. Until the political regime changed for a better democracy. Now if we may direct your attention to the homeland. There's a New enemy to the United States constitution, this enemy is the current United States president. The president has passed a bill that practically destroys the United States constitution. The name of this bill is called The National Defense Authorization Act, The provisions in this bill will allow Federal personnel to indefinitely detain any American citizen that the government sees fit. The National Defense Authorization Act will allow any US citizen under suspicion only to be detained with no verifiable proof. Most critical are sections 1031 and 1032. Section 1031 states that all persons accused do not get a trial, American citizen or not. You as the men and women of the United States armed forces took an oath to uphold the United States constitution, and to defend it at all costs, do not allow this injustice upon the constitution proposed by the president, or orders from your superiors to hinder your judgment as human Beings, or to seek the facts and evidence to support terrorist activity. The government is already classifying protesting as low level terrorism. Do not follow suit, The protesters are exercising their first amendment rights to petition the government for a positive change, Not only did the government take away the people's rights but your rights as well. Before you are Marines, Army Rangers, Navy Crewmen, or Fighter Pilots, You are citizens first. The first amendment in the constitution gives United States citizens the right to freedom of speech, religion, press, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The United States constitution has worked flawlessly for the last 220 years. It is not the president's decision to change the constitution whenever he sees fit, the constitution was written by the founders of The United States. It is not the president's decision to make the United States a war zone and to enforce a nationwide police state. He is not the supreme ruler. He led the country to believe that HOPE would bring change for a better tomorrow, so far the only change has been a dictatorship that allows the brutal beatings of un-armed citizens, pepper spray to the faces of the elderly, and feet to the stomachs of pregnant women, as well as a bullet to the face of a military veteran named Scott Olson, from Oakland California, in hopes to silence a revolution that refuses to be silenced. This is America, the land of the FREE, We will not be silenced, We will not go quietly. You go to foreign countries to protect the citizens from dictatorship and unjust laws, now it's time to protect the citizens of your own nation as the United States government is now inflicting fear on its own people. You're allegiance is to the people of the United States. Not to the people that control the government.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive political injustice.
We do not forget political dictatorship.
To the United States government,
Expect us.

President pardons 17 felons in fourth act of clemencyThe New York Times | March 03,2013WASHINGTON President Barack Obama issued pardons on Friday to 17 convicted felons, making the first use of his clemency powers in his second term.
Their offenses were largely small-scale crimes many years ago, and 12 of the people had not been sentenced to serve time in prison.
As he has in past years, the president granted these individuals clemency because they have demonstrated genuine remorse and a strong commitment to being law-abiding, productive citizens and active members of their communities, said Matt Lehrich, a White House spokesman.
Under the Constitution, the president has clemency powers to forgive convictions as a check and balance on the criminal justice system. For a felon who is already out of prison, a pardon can mean erasing the stigma and negative consequences associated with a criminal history, like restrictions on gun ownership, certain licenses and doing business with the government.
Obama did not issue any commutations, which shorten the sentences of inmates currently in prison.
During Obamas first term, he exercised his clemency powers three times, issuing a total of 22 pardons and one commutation. He also denied 1,019 applications for a pardon and 3,793 applications for commutation. His rate of approvals was unusually low, by historical standards, based on statistics dating to 1900 on the Justice Department website.
Margaret Colgate Love, a former U.S. pardon lawyer who now represents clemency seekers, including two of the 17 people who received pardons on Friday, said she was pleased that Obama had quickly granted a number in his second term and hoped he would do so more regularly in coming years.
There are thousands of deserving ordinary Americans who have long since paid their debt to society but remain burdened by legal and social restrictions, and are seeking to put their past behind them, she said.MORE IN This Just InThe Shumlin administration and legislative leaders are questioning aspects of a renewable energy...

Dear Anonymous,
Seriously now, STOP turning the heat on. If you're cold use a blanket. It gets too hot in our room.
Oh & next time maybe you should try closing the window if you're cold.
? Did you really need to stick that note on the thermostat? You couldn't just politely knock on my door and ask me to turn off the heat? Oh, that's right. You are incapable of saying anything politely. I have been nothing but a good roommate all year and when there's 3 days left in the semester, you decide to put that unnecessary note on thermostat? It is completely ridiculous. Maybe I am not perfect, maybe sometimes I forget to take out the garbage or wash the dishes, but I have been nothing but nice, polite, and kind to you. There is absolutely no reason to be so rude to me.
I was thinking of putting an equally rude note on your door, but unlike you, I am mature. Remember when you
told me "I don't know if you know this, but we aren't in high school anymore. We need to talk things out like adults." You really lived up to that, didn't you?
