Social Responsibility in the Real World- Reflections from a SPUSA Alumnsmoore | social responsibility, SPUSA News
3 May 2013
As a grad student in the Linguistics Department at UCSD in the early 90's, I saw a flier for a meeting of the campus chapter of Student Pugwash. I am not a "joiner" by nature, but was so captivated by the founding story and by the aims of the group that I showed up at a meeting.
What I learned from Student Pugwash both reinforced my basic ideals and gave me the ethical framework with which to put them into practice. Our group comprised students of chemistry, biology, and engineering (if memory serves), but I realized that even as a student of the theory of language, most of my employment options (outside of a university environment) were going to be defense-related. While I could certainly not pre-classify all military applications of linguistics as "bad", I might be faced with concerns down the line.
Sure enough, concurrent with my coursework at UCSD I was working at a small software engineering company. We were under contract with the Department of Education to develop some fascinating products for Apple computers: a speech therapy application that allowed users to view their own articulatory tracts on a split-screen next to a target of the same speech sample, and model their own accordingly; a word processing system for American Sign Language; and cognitive rehabilitation software for people with head injuries.
A co-worker and I focused on grammar and spellcheckers targeted for students with writing problems tied to being nonnative speakers, hearing impaired, or learning disabled. So, I was stunned when my employers accepted a subcontract through a large Department of Defense contractor, and asked me to work on the project (it primarily involved speech recognition).
With the luxury of no mouths to feed, I declined. My superiors presented me with many of the arguments I had been told to expect by the group, including: "If you don't do it, someone else will," "Wouldn't you rather have it be someone like you, with a sense of responsibility?" and "Think of the spin-offs that could help so many people." I was grateful to the Student Pugwash group for having prepared me.
I have been doing mostly volunteer work for a local and national non-profit for the last decade, but I'd love to return to my first alma mater, SDSU. By earning the certificate in Computational Linguistics (CL), I hope to find work as a research linguist. CL is related to Natural Language Processing (a subfield of Artificial Intelligence).
Computational Linguists are currently being recruited by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. We are also being hired by companies that develop major search engines and those that develop social media. With these latter job options would come ethical issues involving privacy. In my opinion, it's an important time for people in our field to have access to good information that will allow them to tailor their respective career paths in ways that feel right to them.

In the business world, Linux is considered as one of the most used Operating System (OS) that makes use of Linux Kernel. In the beginning, this OS has been used by individuals for their personal computers. After gaining popularity, it has made its way in the large corporation settings including HP and IBM. In the Philippines, Linux Training has been made available in order to produce quality candidates for the competitive computer industry.
Indeed, Linux Training is a necessity and has been in demand in the Philippines since most large businesses and companies have opt it for their operating system requirements. Linux is one good example of what an open-source technology should be, granting the source code free for public use.
There are several commands that one should familiarize since it would aid to better advancement using the Linux operating system. The following commands found below are truly valuable from the beginning to the final stages of the system.
In line with system file searching, almost all operating system has specific commands that would allow users to run a search function to find a particular file. For Linux, the task would include searching for the files on a disk using a certain parameters. One example is using the "l='ls –l –color=auto". This command would grant search through the entire listing in your file directory. But if you prefer to search the system by date of its creation or want the results listed in such format it would require an "ls –lrt" and it would manage to search the entire directory as well.
Linux operating system also enables the use of the Internet. There are various networks tasks that one would be able to navigate such as those related to an Internet-based system. If one would require internet browsing, the "whois" command can provide the necessary information. This is also usable with an IP address. If you want to search for any available computer antenna signals, the command would be "iwlist scan". The results will display all wireless network in range both covering secured and unsecured network access.
Another common command that you would learn from a Linux Training is the "smbtree" command. This belongs to the most used commands that would maximize the functions of Linux operating system. The "smbtree" command is used to search and provide a list of Windows machines and devices that are currently on the network. In order to view the operational architecture of the system, the "uname –a" would perform the task and determine the version of the Linux kernel that is being used.

Head Coach Curtis Johnson
Overall thoughts on Thursday's scrimmage
"It's always good getting indoors. I think everybody has a better pep in their step. They're ready to roll. They see the posters. They're ready to play. I thought it was good. There was a lot of emotion. They hit well. The intensity was up. It was fun to watch."
On the play of his quarterbacks
"All of those quarterbacks played well. I thought Tanner Lee had a sensational scrimmage. We're going to review the film and there is still some stuff we need to improve on, but he played well. Montana led us down the field and Devin Powell also led us down. We practiced well today."
On the defense flying around the field
"They were hitting, now. There were some vicious licks. I saw Lazedrick (Thompson) get pounded a couple of times. It was a good scrimmage, a real good scrimmage."
On the second half of Thursday's two-a-day
"We just need to beat the heat. We got it in. It was supposed to rain and we got a chance to beat the heat a little bit. We slowed the tempo down and we slowed the practice down, but it was a nice little practice."
Junior Wide Receiver Xavier Rush
On how the scrimmage went on Thursday
"I think it went well. As an offense, we moved the ball pretty well. We felt like were cohesive, but we still have some things to work on. The defense played well. They moved around fast. It was just a good, all-around scrimmage."
On his 75-yard scoring reception from Tanner Lee
"It was just the way the defense played. We killed it to a pass, I got open and Tanner threw a great ball. I ran under it and I just finished."
On his apparent improved speed
"Over the offseason, I've been working on my speed and quickness. I think I've gotten faster and hopefully I can still get faster while the season progresses."
On the Green Wave's receiving corps
"I feel that we have a lot of talent. We have a lot of veterans coming back - RG (Ryan Grant), Shack (Justyn Shackelford), me. I think we can put up some good numbers. Also, we've got some young guys that are very talented - (Devon) Breaux and (Kedrick) Banks). We've also got some other guys who have come in and are learning, so I think we have a good core group and I think we're going to do big things this year."
On the team holding its first two-a-day practice on Thursday
"We got a chance to get off of our feet, get into the playbook and then go at it for a second practice."
Sophomore Safety Richard Carthon
On how the scrimmage went
"I thought the scrimmage went well. Everybody was hustling to the ball and everybody was playing hard. The offense made some pretty big plays and the defense made some really big stops. I thought it was pretty good."
On how he felt making some big hits during the practice
"It felt great. You've got to make every opportunity count and it's good that I was able to do that. It's good to be out there with the boys again."
On how he feels he is doing so far during preseason practice
"I feel that I'm doing pretty well. Each and every day, you've got to find a way to get better and improve upon what we've done. I'm getting some pretty good coaching and I just need to build upon that."

J.D. Power and Associates today released its 2014 Wireless Network Quality Performance Study - Vol. 1, ranking Verizon Wireless the network quality leader in all six regions of the U.S. This news comes on the heels of the RootMetrics study released yesterday, also ranking Verizon Wireless highest for Overall Performance nationwide.
These two studies provide a great window into Verizon Wireless efforts to offer the best wireless network in the U.S. Here are some interesting tidbits concerning their growth in recent years:
· Verizon Wireless introduced its 4G LTE network in 2010, and the company continues to build out its network to meet customer demand with new technologies such as AWS.
· Verizon Wireless operates the nation's largest super-fast 4G LTE network, which is twice the size geographically of any other 4G LTE network in the US.
· Verizon invested $9.4 billion in its wireless network during 2013.
Indeed, Verizon Wireless continues to lead the way in network quality across-the-board. Kudos to Big Red!

PAN Card bearing the Permanent Account Number supplied by the Income Tax department is a document which is an Identity document with a photograph of the Indian Citizen. This card is obtainable by both resident and non-resident Indian citizens.
Although while applying for PAN, one have to give the correct details, but sometimes pan card correction may be required in the PAN Card due to change of residence, for which there is a PAN Change request form.
There may also arise occasions when the name of the PAN holder needs to be changed. This could be due to many reasons such as change of marital status for ladies, change of religion and the name changed because of it, name change as per the initiative of an individual due to many reasons including astrological or numerological faiths. In all these cases, the name change can be made by using PAN Card name change form, however name change must first be established by the legal process that has been governing name change.
Legal Process for Name change
The legal process for name change would involve the following steps:
For making a name change in the PAN Card, this Gazette notification forms an important document, without which name change in the PAN Card will not be possible.
Name Change in PAN Card
For getting the name changed in the PAN card, one should follow the steps given below:
The applicant should keep ready the affidavit for name change, newspaper publication and the Gazette notification issued on the name change for producing along with the application.
These are all for individuals. For artificial persons like Partnerships, Companies etc, appropriate documents certifying the change of name must be submitted.
Submitting the request
There are authorized Agencies for servicing PAN Card issue or pan card correction, to whom the application and documents can be submitted. Alternatively, the documents can be sent to
5th floor, Mantri Sterling, Plot No. 341,
Survey No. 997/8, Model Colony, Near Deep Bungalow Chowk,
Pune – 411016, Maharashtra State
Makingapplications for PAN card corrections is also possible online, however, print out of the acknowledgement with photographs affixed must be sent to the above agency.

Do you hike frequently and sometimes go with others who take you to some really interesting places? Today you remember a hike that you did a few months ago and the weather is perfect, you have the time but your friend can't make it so you called another friend who wants to go along. That's great, but there is one little problem. You don't remember how to get to the trailhead and, once on the trail can't remember exactly where to go.
What now? Call off the hike? Try to find someone else who has been there? Well, there is no longer a need to worry about those little problems. There is a very simple solution and you wear it on your wrist.
The Nike+ Sportwatch GPS will keep track of all the information you need to repeat your hikes on your own and all you have to do is turn it on and go. It will link up with a satellite and record not only your path, but will tell you instantly how far you have hiked, how fast you are walking, how many calories you have burned, what time is it right now and how much time has elapsed since you started the trek.
When you get home, just plug the convenient USB plug into your computer and it will download all the information you need so that the next time you want to do this hike just click on the date and there it is ready to be printed out if you want to carry it along.
If you're a runner it even keeps the record of how fast you have covered certain distances and congratulates you when you have set a new personal best. And, works fine for cyclists as well.
One important feature is, of course, the accuracy of the GPS system. I have hiked with people who got their mileage at the end of a hike based on some sort of pedometer setting and found the difference to be as much as one or two miles. The Sportwatch doesn't care how many steps you take or how long or short those steps are - it measures the distance you travel.
The Nike+ Sportwatch GPS also has a stopwatch and other features that I haven't even tried to use on mine so you'll need to look those up for yourself. It's a great little watch with a heavy duty rubberized band that is unobstrusive and very comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, that I have occasionally forgotten to either start recording at the beginning of my hike or turn it off at the end. So, just remember it does work great and it does provide lots of information . . . but you have to turn it on!
The tech world is constantly changing, but this watch should provide you with a few years of very useful information without becoming quickly obsolete. Strap it on your wrist, start walking, be healthy and . . . Keep on Traveling!

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- A former Republican state lawmaker who voted for bills to expand the Florida Lottery is an even bigger fan after winning roughly $815,000 in a scratch-off game.
The Tampa Tribune reports that St. Petersburg chiropractor Frank Farkas chose to take a lump sum after winning a $50,000-a-year prize. He told the newspaper he bought the ticket last week at Old Northeast Rally, St. Petersburg convenience store where he normally buys Powerball and Lotto tickets.
Farkas says he bought the ticket with $20 he'd won on an earlier ticket. He didn't scratch the ticket until he got home. When he saw the fourth number was a winner, he yelled for his wife, Toni.
They couple went to Tallahassee on Monday to claim the prize.

College Hockey:Double or nothing for Miami?
I had the pleasure of listening to this week's Hobey Watch podcast, with their special guest, Miami head coach Rico Blasi, and it got me thinking about the RedHawks' high-scoring duo of Carter Camper and Andy Miele.
After this weekend's games, it's now Miele who leads the national scoring race, with one goal and two assists more than Camper, making it really hard to pick which one is the more likely Hobey winner. And naturally, Blasi isn't planning on promoting one over the other, which is pretty much what you'd expect from a program that prides itself on its "Brotherhood." (and I mean that in the best way possible).
Certainly, there's no reason why Camper would keep Miele from winning the Hobey, or vice versa. Just look at Marty Sertich and Brett Sterling in 2005. I'm also reminded of a couple of years ago, when Chad Kolarik – who could have easily been a Hobey finalist himself that year – told anyone who would listen that Kevin Porter was the real Hobey candidate on the team. I could see something like that happening at Miami, although I don't know which one would promote the other over himself (perhaps both?).
However, the reality is that while both players are having fantastic individual seasons, and are near-certain finalists, that could be as far as it gets. I'm going to predict that if Miami doesn't make the NCAA tournament, neither one of them is going to win the Hobey.
Yes, the first Hobey I saw handed out in person – 2006 – went to a player whose team didn't make the NCAA tournament, Denver's Matt Carle. Carle, however, had won two NCAA titles already at DU, and that season, he was 10th in the nation in scoring with 1.36 PPG. No blueliner has been that high up since, although Wisconsin's Justin Schultz is as close as it comes this season, 14th in the country at 1.30. The point, though, is that there were extenuating circumstances for Carle, and they don't exist for Miami's dynamic duo.
Of course, we won't know whether Miami is in or out by the time the finalists are selected (although if the RedHawks aren't still playing at that point, it's pretty likely they'll be out), but when the Hobey winner is chosen, Camper and Miele need to have played in this season's tournament to win. The next six games – against Michigan, Western Michigan, and Lake Superior – will tell us a lot as to whether they're in or out of the running.
And, if Camper and Miele wind up out, and Yale's offensive machine has slowed down (Broc Little is the top 'Dog at 18th in the country with 1.29 ppg), who's the front-runner? Paul Thompson? Chase Polacek? Schultz? Cam Atkinson?
It's about to get very interesting…

Champions Biotechnology established an exclusive licensing agreement with Ramot, Tel Aviv University's technology transfer unit, for the development and commercialization of TAR-1. This single-chain antibody fragment is in preclinical development and is thought to have an advantage in treating cancer patients because of its high specificity and affinity to binding mutant p53 protein, according to Ramot.
Under the terms of the agreement, Champions has obtained the worldwide rights to TAR-1 and is responsible for the further development of the compound. Champions will utilize its Biomerk Tumorgraft™ platform technology to evaluate the activity of TAR-1 and determine the best path forward for the compound in regards to indication, patient population, and potential drug combinations.
Ramot will receive an up-front payment and will be eligible to receive milestone payments and royalties if Champions chooses to continue the license terms, which will be determined based on results from testing TAR-1 in the predictive Tumorgraft platform.
The Biomerk Tumorgraft platform is based upon the implantation of primary human tumors in immune-deficient mice followed by propagation of the resulting engraftments in a manner that preserves the biological characteristics of the original human tumor, Champions Biotechnology explains. Early studies suggest that unlike traditional xenografts, these Tumorgrafts closely reflect human cancer biology, and their response to drugs is predictive of clinical outcomes in cancer patients, the firm adds.
"Licensing TAR-1 demonstrates the progression of our strategy to build our own Tumorgraft-driven pipeline of oncology drugs, which we expect to yield improved clinical development success rates," says Guy Malchi, head of corporate development and international operations. "We were impressed by the potential of TAR-1, and we are planning to continue to in-license oncology drug candidates with compelling science and to develop only those with positive Tumorgraft results." Champions is also completing Tumorgraft testing of its other oncology drug, SG410, a tubulin inhibitor.

This film looks at the risks to the food chain and the environment through pollution of our air, land, and sea by waste. It reveals surprising truths about very immediate and potent dangers to our health. It is a global conversation from Iceland to Indonesia between the film star Jeremy Irons and scientists, politicians, and ordinary individuals whose health and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by waste pollution. Visually and emotionally the film is both horrific and beautiful: an interplay of human interest and political wake-up call.

Nissan's Altima has been redesigned for 2014. And their top-line 2.5 SL is probably the most under considered mid-size sedan on the market. More car buyers need to consider it since it's a compelling alternative to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the top two selling mid-size sedans.
Altima definitely deserves a look because it's a well-rounded, spacious front drive sedan with impressive fuel economy.
Altima is offered in S, SV, and SL 2.5 models. And within these trim choices, car shoppers can chose between a 3.5L, 270-hp V6 or 2.5L, 182-hp four cylinder that was tested. When coupled to a standard CVT transmission, acceleration was energetic and lively. There's no want for power since Nissan managed to trim Altima's weight by 124 pounds thanks to the use of aluminum for the trunk lid, hood and roof. As such, EPA mileage estimates are an impressive 27 city, 38-highway mpg.
Slip into the cockpit of a 2.5 SL and you'll be treated to an expanse of perforated leather seats with door panels that are swoopy and suave and more suited to a higher priced and posh Infinity sedan.
The vertical stack employs conventional and easy to use HVAC controls and a sizeable LCD displays audio, GPS nav and rearview camera functions. There is a small LCD display, that Nissan calls Advanced Drive Assist, which provides constant driver information between the white on black speedometer/tachometer gauges.
Everything in the cabin blends and melds so nicely and tastefully. And the front seats are especially soft with just the right amount of side bolstering. Not too tight, not too lose. The back seat is not quite as cushy but still comfortable for two sizable adults or three tweens since rear legroom and headroom are exceptionally spacious.
Low profile rear headrests provide a clear and unobstructed view rearward. They also give the interior a clean uncluttered look.
Trunk space appears to handle a pair of large roll-a-longs or two golf bags once the 60/40 rear seatbacks are folded. Only problem here is the bulging bulkhead cuts into the pass-through opening.
Altima's ride on 17-inch tires compares to the best of them. It's comfortable, smooth and quiet with only a smidgen of perceptible engine noise at idle.
Handling is secure and typical of a sedan in this class. It displays some body lean in tight turns but the suspension retains control.
The only quirk that sticks out is that although the LCD screen shows parking assist lines while in reverse gear, it's void of the beeping sound as the car nears an object. Trivial as it may seem, the beep is helpful.
As the top-line model, the SL comes loaded with an impressive array of standard features like keyless ignition, heated front seats, 9 speaker Bose audio, heated leather wrapped steering wheel, tire pressure display, auto dimming rearview mirror, heated outside mirrors, fog lights, Auto On/Off headlights and more.
The only options were a moonroof ($800), carpeted trunk and floor mats ($210) and a Technology Package ($1,090) that contains the 7-inch display with nav, blind spot warning, lane departure warning and moving object detection. The latter trio should garner an insurance premium discount.
For all this, the SL priced out at $30,830 including delivery, after a base of $27,920.
Price aside, the Altima received five stars from the governments 5-star safety ratings, scoring five for driver frontal crash, four for passenger, four for front seat crash, five for rear side crash while rollover received four stars.
If considering a vehicle change, consider the Altima.
The only reason Nissan doesn't sell more, in my humble opinion, is because they don't strongly advertise Altima's attributes.

Rumble on the Rock VI Brings Akebono, Gracie Family, and B.J. Penn to Neal Blaisdell Center November 20th
Event promises to be the largest Mixed Martial Arts event ever held in U.S.
HONOLULU, HAWAII--Let`s get ready to rumble Hawaii! On Saturday, November 20, 2004 the
K-1 Fighting Network and Prodigy Productions will team up to throw the biggest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event ever held in America at the Neal Blaisdell Arena, Rumble on the Rock VI. A total of 11 fights are scheduled with the main event featuring Hawaii`s own #1 world ranked BJ Penn against Rodrigo Gracie, of the Gracie Family in Brazil. The star-studded, Hawaiian-themed event will also feature Japanese Sumo icon Akebono, who will be present to coach his newest fighter and to debut his Team Yokozuna.
To kickoff the event, fighter weigh ins and a press conference are scheduled for Friday, November 19th at the Ala Moana Centerstage at 4p.m., where fans and media will have the unique opportunity to meet the fighters and their trainers. The kickoff event will be free of charge. The November 20th event will be held at the Neal Blaisdell Center, doors will open at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are priced at $30, $60, $65, $100, $150 and $200 and can be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com [2] or at any Ticketmaster location.
A feat never before accomplished by any MMA organization in America, Prodigy Productions and K-1 have succeeded in bringing two Gracie family members onto the same fight card for the first time in history outside of Japan. The most recognized family in martial arts history, the Gracie
family name has not been seen on an MMA fightcard in the United States for over 10 years. Royler Gracie, the most decorated Jiu-Jitsu athlete of all time and well-respected Gracie family member, will face off with Olympic wrestler Kazuyuki Miyata of Japan.
BJ Penn of Wainaku, Hilo will move up to the 185 lb. division for the main event after previously dominating the 155 lb. and 170 lb. divisions. Penn is the only non-Brazilian to win the Jiu-Jitsu World Championships as a black belt and currently holds the renowned title of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight Champion of the world.
The event will also host the returns of UFC heavyweight veterans Wesley "Cabbage" Correira (13-6) and Wes "The Project" Sims (5-5) as well as undefeated big man Sean O` Hare (17-0). The hard-punching Correira will face Yoshihiro Nakao (1-1) of Japan. A giant at 6`9" and 255 lbs., Sims will take on Holland kickboxing and jiu-jitsu stylist, Antoni Hardonk (9-3). The 6"6", 275 lb. O`Hare will face off with Japan`s Shungo Oyama.
In an effort to incorporate Hawai'i`s unique sense of place into the evening, the November 20th production will have a focus on Hawaiian culture. Fighters will make their way into the ring from a giant volcano backdrop complete with pyrotechnics and a light show. In coordination with Tihati Productions (www.tihati.com [3]), Hawai`i`s largest entertainment company, the event will showcase some of Hawaii`s finest hula dancers and musicians and the Hawaiian-focus will seek to appeal to a global pay-per-view audience.
According to Jay Dee Penn, C.E.O. of Prodigy Productions, "The long anticipated return of the Gracie family to America, Hawaii`s champion BJ Penn, the debut of Akebono`s fight team, a pay per view broadcast in Japan and America, and a completely unrivaled production is going to place Hawaii in a global spotlight on November 20th. Rumble on the Rock VI will go down in
history as the biggest MMA event ever held on U.S. soil," he said.
The K-1 Fighting Network is the largest martial arts production in the world and hosts 30 events a year worldwide. They are based out of Tokyo, Japan. Prodigy Productions is a Hawaii-based company and produces Rumble on the Rock, Proving Grounds, and RumbleVision. This will be the first time the two organizations have cross promoted.

Minecraft now on Sony PS3
Pick-axe up where you left off
BLOCKTASTIC GAME Minecraft has finally cracked its way onto the Sony PS3 games console, having already made a splash on PCs, mobile devices and the Xbox 360.
The game went live on the PSN on Thursday, and has features including four-way split-screen gaming.
Mojang, the game developer said it is "packed with cool stuff", adding that it also extends to online multiplayer mode for eight people, includes both creative and survival modes, and offers a range of collectable trophies. You know, like Minecraft.
Sony is pleased with the addition to its roster, and so is Mojang.
Now that Minecraft is on PS3, check this out: Kings Landing from Game of Thrones built entirely in Minecraft. Wow. pic.twitter.com/YorCuaGglo
— PlayStation Ireland (@PlayStationIE) December 19, 2013
"Christmas is coming early, PS3 players!" said Mojang earlier this week. "We can now confirm that Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition will be available to download this Wednesday. Expect it to cost about the same as the Xbox 360 version."
Minecraft PS3 does not have any features or missions that are particular to the Sony console, and Mojang said it mirrored other versions and would be developed in tandem with them from now.
Soon the firm will release some additional features for the game soon. It said that downloadable skins and texture packs would follow shortly, and hinted that there may be some "Sony-specific" ones in the pipeline.
Earlier the firm revealed that Minecraft has moved around 10 million copies on the Microsoft Xbox 360 since it started selling in the Spring last year.
Mojang said that it was "humbled" by the response to its Microsoft Arcade release. In celebration it halved the price of its downloadable content. µ

What's a critic to do when a film threatens to dislodge "Troll 2″ and "Plan 9 from Outer Space" as the worst movie of all time?
Do we take the director of "Birdemic: Shock and Terror," James Nguyen, at his word when he claims he tried to make the very best film he could and savage the results? Or is this a naked ploy to join the ranks of Ed Wood and "Troll 2's" Claudio Fragasso as the worst auteurs ever?
WWTW is guessing "Birdemic," out Feb. 22 on Blu-ray and DVD, is the latter. It seems too self aware, especially when Nguyen arrives at those midnight screenings with a coat hanger in hand to mock one of the movie's sillier scenes.
Either way, "Birdemic" all but demands a crowd to drink in the film's epic awfulness. Watching it solo is reserved for the bad movie connoisseur.
"Birdemic" is part romance, part eco-thriller, and each is handled with all the assembled craft of a pre-teen given a camera and a cast incapable of embarrassment.
Love blossoms when Rod (Alan Bagh), a software salesman with plans of starting his own green business, meets an old high school acquaintance named Nathalie (Whitney Moore). The two embark on a sweetly innocent romance complete with stilted conversations and poorly choreographed love making.
But their courtship is interrupted when a gaggle of birds – specifically eagles and other menacing variations – start attacking people out of the blue. Now, the new couple has to stay alive until mankind can figure out why birds are suddenly on the offensive. Hint – Al Gore would undoubtedly approve.
Just how bad is "Birdemic?" If you strip away the amateurish sound dubbing, the lingering shots that amount to nothing, the putrid performances and computer effects that looked like they came from an '80s era Vic 20 computer, then it's really not so lousy.
The film's worst sin is that it's boring for much of the running time. There's a certain smirky charm in watching the romance develop, but only because the actors seem so stiff and uninvolved. "Birdemic" perks up when the eagles go on the offensive. Then, we can find small delights in the hammy effects, the exploitative shots of people pecked to death and some truly absurd action sequences.
Moore threatens to actually act a few times, a memo her cast mates didn't receive. The child actors are a particular hoot. Even the mini-thespians on "Barney" will laugh at the mummified emoting attempted here.
Watching "Birdemic" at home feels like an isolating experience. There's no crowd to giggle over the atrocious dialogue, and that shared communal bond can't be summoned.
So if you need to experience movie making at its worst, or have a gaggle of friends with a passion for putrid cinema, you won't do much better than checking out "Birdemic."
The Blu-ray extras include footage from midnight showings of the neo-cult classic, an interview with Nguyen on a very, very basic cable chat show, deleted scenes and commentary from Nguyen, Bagh and Moore.

Hot off her SXSW tour, Seher sits down with Zoë Keating, experimental, electronic cellist.
My first time hearing Zoë Keating was truly ethereal; the "one-woman orchestra" completely transcends this world with her music. She uses a cello and a foot-controlled laptop to layer and loop her instrument…
[more info + MP3 after the jump]
Beginning her classical training at the age of eight, the Canadian born artist continued to play cello ever since. Her early 20's saw a period she dubs her "detour;" during this time Zoë worked as an engineer at a tech startup and simultaneously 'moonlighted as a cellist in rock bands.'
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the "100% DIY" artist is her own engineer, producer, distributor, and booker. Apparently just as astute a businesswoman as a musician, she's garnered the number one spot in iTunes classical and electronica several times.
I'd agree with Zoë's hesitance towards genre; her music is more experiential than a specific type of sound. "I want to capture that feeling of being an outsider, of being outside and looking in. I like to think of it as the musical equivalent of looking around from a hilltop perch," she says.
She names "Sun Will Set" and "Legions (War)" from her "One Cello X 16 : Natoma" album as the best examples of her style and process. "They demonstrate how I try to make musical epics out of small repeating fragments of cello," says Zoë. Epic sounds about right.
The ambitious woman considers challenge and struggle "an important part of [her] artistic process" – and she definitely has her hands full. Expecting a baby in May, another self-released album is due this month. She is also working on the score for a ballet to premier in August and a multimedia performance project that is going to involve "cello-controlled visuals." What?! Okay, total nerd-tastic awesomeness.
Zoë's SXSW highlight? "A spontaneous #cellotweetup on the sidewalk." Beyond that, the experience as a whole also seemed to really resonate with her:
"I had a realization at SXSW that *we* the musicians, are the music industry. It sounds obvious, but I think musicians are always looking for someone to save them, to discover them, to make it all happen. Maybe that was true in the past, but it isn't any more. Now, we can design our own careers and bypass the crumbling establishment. But in order to do it, like-minded artists need to be helping each other rather than competing."
Even earlier, peeking at Zoë's Twitter page post-SXSW, I could tell that she was truly excited and inspired after the experience (I believe it was her first trek out for the festival). As an avid appreciator of independent artistry and the innovative and fresh perspective music like Zoë's brings, seeing such a response from her (along with similar responses from other attending musicians) left me with a pretty powerful feeling of awe and inspiration myself.

I almost missed posting this story as I'm about to run out to a couple designer parties tonight and I heard about it at The Decorologist first! Then 'From Caroline' wrote a post where she also announced the colour of the year but also mentioned that my takeaway from the annual CMG Conference in September was about orange moving to a tangerine shade.
Image via Apartment Therapy
It's interesting to see the progression of colours from 2008. The gray trend really arrived on the scene in 2009 so it's no surprise then that yellow, turquoise, honeysuckle and now Tangerine, followed. All clean and crisp colours that work well with gray, black and white.
The LA Times says that Pantone describes the color as a "vivacious, enticing hue," "a provocative go-getter" that's "a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way" and "a spirited reddish orange. . . sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive."
I was relieved to see this fun interpretation of the colour and also to see that there was no reference to it being a "necessary relief from the woe's of the economy, etc." as was mentioned in past years.
As I've said in prior posts, I don't think the swing back to colours of the 50s and 60s has anything to do with the economy; it's just the natural ebb and flow of colour trends moving from dark (brown trend) to light (gray/white trend). After all, we've been looking at earth tones for 20 years and we're done!
I say bring on the happy colours, now you don't need an excuse!
What do you think? Yay or Nay.
Download my eBook, It's All in the Undertones. If you have a computer, you can download my book!
If you would like your home to fill you with happiness every time you walk in, contact me.
To make sure the undertones in your home are right, get some large samples!

Today marks the beginning of US VegWeek 2014, an entire week dedicated to a nationwide movement of vegetarian and vegan awareness.
VegWeek was founded by nonprofit animal advocacy group Compassion Over Killing in 2009 as a way to encourage Americans to pledge to be meat-free for at least one week out of the year. Since its inception, VegWeek has grown tremendously and thousands of people have taken the pledge. Restaurants across the country are offering special menus and discounts. A number of vegetarian and vegan cooking demonstrations, bake sales, movie screenings, festivals, and much more will be held all over. Even politicians are getting in on the action and taking the pledge.
In San Diego, check out these eateries for some great finds in honor of U.S. VegWeek 2014:
Both locations of Loving Hut will be offering a 10% discount coupon at their website.
Sprinkles Cupcakes in La Jolla is serving up a BOGO deal on vegan red velvet cupcakes.
Peace Pies in Ocean Beach will have a full line of new vegan items for the week.
Local Habit in Hillcrest is hosting a fundraiser April 22, donating 20% of sales from select vegan items to Compassion Over Killing.
Stay tuned for more VegWeek happenings throughout the week!

The filing of PCB 13-01 (PCB=Proposed Committee Bill), a bill related to charter schools, would require a school district to hand over an educational building that had been used for K-12 purposes to a charter school … for free. How's that for a sweet deal? But there is more.
[A summary of other provisions in this 36 page bill can be found by clicking here.]
The bill's language creates an open question as to whether a re-purposed former K-12 facility would need to be made available to a charter school, and when in fact a local school district could determine the destiny of its properties and facilities.
The language is pretty simple. Specifically, the proposal would change the existing statute to read:
If a district school board-owned facility that has previously been used for K-12 educational purposes is unused, it shall be made available for a charter school's use at no cost.
It's quite a substantial change. To contrast, here is the existing language:
If a district school board facility or property is available because it is surplus, marked for disposal, or otherwise unused, it shall be provided for a charter school's use on the same basis as it is made available to other public schools in the district.
Specifically applied to Marion County, consideration should be made of two former K12 facilities in Reddick as an example. The old Reddick High School on County 25A in Reddick (see pic in slideshow) is a pretty derelict building that the School Board still owns. A local outlet for Interfaith Emergency Services had operated a food pantry and thrift store there a few years ago, but were forced to relocate due to code violations. The building (or at least the gym) may now be leased to the city of Reddick. The building is certainly "unused," as the proposal reads. What about maintenance?
The school district shall maintain the charter school facility at the same standard and level it would maintain any other district-operated school similar in age and condition … The charter school shall agree to reasonable maintenance provisions in order to maintain the facility in a manner similar to district school board standards.
The maintenance terms would first require the school district to maintain the facility, presumably passing along the cost of maintenance to the charter school, while the second sentence would require the charter school to accept "reasonable maintenance provisions." Let's assume the school board's essential abandonment of the old Reddick High building precludes the ghastly cost of its revival at taxpayer expense as a charter school.
Consider another Reddick building owned by the School Board, the old Collier Elementary School on NW 155th Street (see pic in slideshow) which has been re-purposed as a bus depot. The Collier School is not the relic that the old high school is. Does its re-cycling as an administrative or support facility mean that it is "used," or "unused" – as in "unused" for K-12 purposes and therefore available for use by a charter school? Would a school district be required to make this former K-12 facility available, even if it was being used for administrative or support purposes?
Finally, let's consider one more facility that is known to face K-12 deactivation, Lake Weir Middle School on Sunset Harbor Road in Summerfield (see pic in slideshow). Built about 50 years ago as the original Lake Weir High, the sprawling school has become a dinosaur positioned in an out-of-the-way south county location. It may be quite a few years before a replacement is sited and built, but what happens to the old building? Does it automatically become possible inventory for a charter school? Would the School Board be required to demolish it to prevent having to hand it over, or would demolition even be permitted?
As Tallahassee seeks to dictate local school board policy, it gives a blank check to charters at local taxpayer expense – that would be you and me. This bill is another muddy and confusing instance of taxpayers getting to foot the bill so that corporate managers of charter schools can enjoy welfare benefits at taxpayer expense.
First, it is another instance of the legislature seeking to remove authority from local officials and dictate outcomes that favor the corporate privatization agenda. (Yes, charter schools are technically public schools, but they are often managed by for-profit companies like Charters, USA, and a heavyweight company like Charters, USA can use Florida law to ensure no district can actually refuse their charter request as has been proven repeatedly. Watch what happens with controversial virtual school powerhouse K12, Inc., and its rejection by Marion County School Board.)
Second, with this legislation, private corporate charter managers won't have to worry about the capital cost of starting their charter since they can demand a local district provide space FREE. Maintenance may cost them, but no rent, no mortgage. Thank you, taxpayers, because you bought the land and paid for the property and building. How is that for a nice entitlement? No, the charter can't sell or lease the local district property or building on its own once it takes possession, but it's still a tremendous gift.
Third, this dictated outcome deprives the local district of recouping some of the asset value of a building and property. Shifting populations and aging buildings require replacements to be secured, often on another property with a modern structure. The costs are huge. A Star Banner article this week reported the cost of the new Legacy Elementary School in Silver Springs Shores at $20 million for an average sized school.
Finally, the existing language is fairly explicit but would be replaced by broad, inexplicit terms. Such vagueness invites lawyers to drool over costly cases which taxpayers would have to pay to defend.
There is nothing commendable about this blatantly agenda-driven form of corporate welfare. The existing statute should be more than sufficient, but apparently the corporate sponsors want the legislators that they bought to provide a better return on their investment.
The bill easily cleared its first committee.

The UCLA Baseball team lost a close one on Friday night, falling to the Oregon Ducks in the opening game of the series by a score of, 2-1, at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Tommy Thorpe (9-4) earned the win for the Ducks, allowing one run on four hits in 6.2 innings pitched. Sophomore James Kaprielian was the tough luck loser, pitching a complete game while allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and striking out 11. Jake Reed picked up his 12th save of the year for Oregon with 1.2 innings in relief.
The game proved to be a pitcher's duel in the early going, as both Thorpe and Kaprielian held the opponent scoreless for the first five innings. Kaprielian retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced and did not allow a hit until the top of the fifth when Mitchell Tolman singled to lead off the frame. A sacrifice bunt moved Tolman up to second before a wild pitch brought him to third with one out. Kaprielian settled in though and got back-to-back strikeouts of A.J. Balta and Josh Graham to keep the Ducks off the board.
Oregon would take the lead, however, in the top of the sixth. Nick Catalano led off with a single through the left side before moving up to second on a sacrifice bunt. Kaprielian was able to get the next batter, but with two outs Tyler Baumgartner singled to center to score Catalano and give the Ducks the lead. The Bruins looked for the tying run in the bottom half of the inning, as junior Shane Zeile led off with a double to left. Sophomore Ty Moore moved him up to third with a sacrifice bunt of his own, but freshman Nick Kern and sophomore Christoph Bono both grounded out on the next at-bats to end the inning.
The Ducks would then tack on an insurance run in the top of the seventh to give themselves a two-run lead. Tolman led off the inning with a double before moving up to third on a bunt single by Shaun Chase. That brought up Balta, who laid down a safety squeeze down the first base line. Tolman did not take off initially, but after senior Pat Gallagher recorded the out at first to get Balta Tolman broke for home. Freshman Luke Persico fired the ball to Zeile at the plate, but Zeile was unable to hold on to the ball allowing Tolman to score to make it 2-0, Oregon.
The Bruins would battle back in the bottom half of the inning though, starting when senior Aaron Weimer drew a walk off of Thorpe with two outs. The Ducks brought in Garrett Cleavinger after that and Cleavinger proceeded to walk the next two batters to load the bases for Zeile. Zeile was able to draw a hit by pitch from Cleavinger, bringing in Weimer and cutting Oregon's lead down to one. Oregon again went to bullpen after that, bringing in Trent Paddon to face Moore with the bases loaded. Paddon would strike out Moore though, ending the threat and keeping the Ducks ahead.
UCLA continued to fight and was almost able to find the tying run in the bottom of the eighth. Sophomore Justin Hazard led off with a walk before being pinch-run for by senior Brian Carroll. A sacrifice and a single by Persico then put runners at the corners with one out for Gallagher. Gallagher came up and laid down a great squeeze bunt, but Tolman charged in from first and was able to get Carroll at the plate for the second out. Weimer then came to bat and on the first pitch laced a single to left that looked to have a shot at scoring Persico. However, Oregon's Austin Grebeck threw out Persico at the plate to end the inning. UCLA went down in order in its half of the ninth and Oregon went home with a 2-1 win.
At the plate, Zeile led the UCLA offense with a double and a RBI while Weimer contributed a hit and a run as well.
The Bruins (23-27-1, 10-15 Pac-12) and Ducks (38-16, 15-10 Pac-12) will continue their series tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at Jackie Robinson Stadium. The game will again be televised by the Pac-12 Networks.
Game Notes: James Kaprielian's complete game was the first of his career and the second this season for the Bruins…Kaprielian's 11 strikeouts were also one shy of his career-high and marked the fourth time this season that he has posted double-digit strikeouts in a game…Kaprielian has now allowed two runs or less in 10 of his 14 starts this year and has pitched at least six innings in his last seven starts…Ty Moore has now reached base safely in 11 consecutive games, logging at least one hit in his last seven…Aaron Weimer has also now reached base safely in his last eight games…tonight was the 17th one-run ballgame the Bruins have played this season.

any body have the idea where i can get the link or the list of transaction codes for SAP CRM 7.0 or SAP 2007.
Use the Table TSTC to get list of all transactions.
in general all transaction codes are stored in table TSTC. You could use the Repository Info System in SE80 to search for specific transaction codes.
Nevertheless you should be aware of the fact, that several SAP GUI transactions are no longer supported, since they have been migrated to the CRM Web Client UI.
Best Regards,
Appreciate if there is a mechanism for the End-user to know easily how to do his transactions. thats the point for me to ask this question.
End user training and that's the only solution.
