Why Kim Kardashian Matters to the Stock Market
Understanding social mood as a leading indicator of risk appetites.
Can't really tell, by looking at the markets at all-time highs here in late April of 2013, but there's something that we need to see, as we always strive to see both sides of every trade. But it's important to remember that markets shape mood to a degree, even though what we're talking about right now is that the causal inferences that we all make are seemingly backwards, but to a degree, folks don't want to talk about what could go wrong when stocks are at all-time highs. Nobody wanted to talk about the housing bubble in 2006, 2007, or the looming financial crisis, for that matter.
Even though it was no great mystery when the Financial Accounting Standards Board started talking about bringing level 3 assets back on the balance sheet, it didn't take rocket science to say, wow, these financial institutions are really over-leveraged. But nobody wanted to talk about that, and it wasn't until after the first phase of the financial crisis arrived like a clap of thunder that folks - and by "folks," I mean investors, policymakers, and politicians - nobody really wanted to talk about it until it had already arrived.
So, my hope with this presentation is to maybe open our eyes a little bit to what's going on around us so we can prepare for what could happen on the horizon before it actually gets here. But to get back on point, we mapped what we called the "tricky trifecta" back then, and that's something that I'm going to talk about a little bit, because the tricky trifecta still much remains in play. The tricky trifecta, in short, is three phases of the social mood that is manifesting throughout society right now: societal acrimony, social unrest, and geopolitical conflict or strife.
Societal acrimony, we can look back at the way financial institutions were perceived, the backlash against banks coming out of the crisis, the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill, the vernacular that we were hearing at the time, the rejection of wealth. It was pretty pervasive back in 2008, 2009.
And we saw then the second phase, the social unrest, start to manifest. The Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street. The riots we saw in Greece. The all-too-familiar shootings that we've seen in schools and movie theaters and the like. All symptoms of this social unrest that seems to be picking up in pace.
And finally, the geopolitical conflict or strife, the third phase. I don't know what that looks like, whether it's the Middle East, whether it's cyber-warfare. Unfortunately, that still is playing out, but it's something that we need to be increasingly aware of, not only as citizens, but as fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters, as we start to move forward.
And we look at what's going on within our borders, and for me personally, a couple of years ago I moved my family out of New York City because I was concerned about the forward direction of social mood. And for me, one of the events that hit home the most was the Newtown tragedy, because that could have been Anytown, USA. And it's not just Newtown that stands out; I mean, it wasn't just the one senseless act that's so horrifying. Through my lens, it's the rate and the pace at which these events have transpired since 2008.
I have a laundry list here, and I'm not going to go through each one of them because it would take up the rest of our time together. Whether it's Memphis, Tennessee, or Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, or Madison, Alabama, or Tucson, Arizona - it goes on and on. Blacksburg, Virginia; Jacksonville, Florida; Oakland, California; Aurora, Colorado, and The Dark Knight Rises - and right back to Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 children and six others at Sandy Hook.
These are not random acts of violence. These are symptoms of a much larger and pernicious disorder, in my view, The Devolution of American Social Mood. And this is in many ways a detachment from reality and an erosion of the family construct, and a marked change that we must be diligent and aware of if we ever hope to change this course.
History books will depict this period with the benefit of hindsight and an absence of emotion. But for those of us who are living it here in 2013, we must figure it out as we go, in real time, and prepare ourselves for what's to come. So, much like the Great Depression, in my opinion, this is an era. It's not an event; it's not a one-off. And we've learned all too often, whether it was 9/11 or the Boston Marathon a couple weeks ago, there is a big difference between loss and loss.

We're glad ferm LIVING has thought of the minimalist home decorators. As cute as the designs are for those nature and bird wall stickers, the idea of having those stuck on the wall even semi-permanently...we could never go through with it. What we can imagine is these Mini Triangle Wall Stickers ($21) forming a restrained, modern geometric design against one tastefully considered accent wall. After all, it's much easier than installing wallpaper and probably not too different than the minimalist design we'd end up picking out anyway.

Elektra Luxx Movie Reviews
User reviews on Elektra Luxx
Absolutely everything about this film is terrible and I wish I did not waste my time on this terrible film. I have absolutely no clue why Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Julianne Moore agreed to be in this film, it is usually for the paycheck that actors like that agree to be in the films like this, but in this case i do not think that they got a lot of money for this. The film's production value is worst that I have seen in a while and the storyline was ridiculous. This film is supposed to be a comedy but I did not laugh once and I do admit that the dialogue was pretty good and sharp but it did not make up for the lack of comedy. Overall, I do not recommend seeing this film and I sure hope that you will listen to me and avoid this film.

The United States on Tuesday said it "strongly condemns" comments from Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan blaming Israel for the military coup and ensuing crisis gripping Egypt.
"We strongly condemn the statements that were made by Prime Minister Erdogan today. Suggesting that Israel is somehow responsible for recent events in Egypt is offensive, unsubstantiated, and wrong," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters in a briefing.
State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf on reiterated the comments and said the Turkish leader's comments harmed the diplomatic process going forward.
Erdogan told provincial leaders of his AK Party on Tuesday that his government had evidence Israel had a hand in events that led to the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, from Egypt's presidency.
In the wake of the violence in Egypt last week— which led to the deaths of thousands of demonstrating civilians and the wounding of thousands more— Turkey called the incident a "massacre" at the hands of the Egyptian military.
Erdogan's rant was not worthy of a response, Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Tuesday.
"This is a statement well worth not commenting on," Palmor said. Another Israeli officials said he had a one word response for Erdogan: "Nonsense."
The Turkish premier, who has a history of anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic remarks, blamed Israel on Tuesday for the events that brought about Morsi's ouster.
"Who is behind [the ouster]? There is Israel," Erdoğan said at a meeting of his AK Party in Ankara. "We have [a] document in our hands."
The document, it emerged, was a video of a discussion held at Tel Aviv University on the Arab Spring in June 2011 between Tzipi Livni, then the head of the opposition and today the Justice Minister, and French Jewish intellectual Bernard-Henri Levy.
Levy, during the symposium, said, "If the Muslim Brotherhood arrives in Egypt, I will not say democracy wants it, so let democracy progress. [……..]"
Levi said Hamas' takeover of Gaza "was [a] putsch, a coup; a democratic coup, but a coup. Hitler in 1933 was a coup; a democratic coup, but a coup."
Asked by the moderator, former New York Times Jerusalem correspondent Ethan Bronner, whether he would urge Egypt's military to intervene against the Muslim Brotherhood if they would win a legitimate election, Levy said: "I will urge the prevention of them coming to power, but by all sort of means."
Citing this discussion, Erdogan said, 'The Muslim Brotherhood will not be in power even if they win the elections, because democracy is not the ballot box.' This is what they said at that time."
Erdogan's comments come just a few weeks after he blamed unrest in his own country on an "interest rate lobby," widely believed to be a metaphor for western Jewish businessmen. […….]
Even Turkey's Hurrityet Daily News seems to be tiring somewhat of Erdogan's anti-Israel rants and conspiracy theories. The lead to an article on Erdogan's comments Tuesday that appeared on the paper's website began with the words, "Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan went back on the warpath August 20, accusing one of Ankara's most prominent bogeymen, Israel, of complicity in overthrowing Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi."
Erdogan's comment Tuesday came some five months after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu – at the behest of US President Barack Obama – phoned the Turkish prime minister and apologized for operational errors that may have led to loss of life on the Mavi Marmara ship that tired to break the naval blockade of Gaza in 2010.
While that apology was supposed to have paved the way for an Israeli-Turkish reconciliation, talks for compensation payments quickly bogged down as the Turks added that they now wanted an Israeli admission that the compensation payments was the result of a wrongful act. Expectations that the apology would lead relatively quickly to the exchange of ambassadors failed to materialize.
What the apology did do, one Israeli official said Tuesday, was remove US pressure on Israel to reconcile with Turkey, since in the eyes of the US, Netanyahu did what he needed to do.
Read the rest – US slams Turkish PM Erdogan for blaming Egypt crisis on Israel
by Leo Rennert
It's the lead story on the Sunday front page of the New York Times — a lengthy piece on how frantic, behind-the-scenes efforts by U.S. and European diplomats supposedly came close to building a path toward ending the bloody conflict in Egypt between the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and the military-backed interim government.
In the end, as we all know, external prodding failed. But in allotting blame for why diplomacy didn't succeed, the Times gratuitously points an accusing finger at Israel and AIPAC, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, for allegedly siding with the Egyptian military and undermining U.S. diplomacy ("How a U.S. Push to Defuse Egypt Ended in Failure — Barrage of Diplomacy — Despite 17 Calls from Hagel, Cairo Chose Confrontation" by David Kirkpatrick, Peter Baker and Michael Gordon).
Yet length doesn't guarantee accurate reporting. In fact, the Times dispatch is built on a deeply flawed premise that outside pressures somehow might have been able to bring Egypt's agony to an end, especially if President Obama had shown more backbone and cut off $1.3 billion in U.S. military aid to Cairo. [……..] Suspension of U.S. military aid would be more than offset by more generous military aid from Saudi Arabia and other wealthy Arab oil states.
But in pursuit of external meddlers aligned against Washington diplomacy, the Times prefers to build a case against Israel and AIPAC. Here's how Kirkpatrick, Baker, and Gordon put it:
"The Israelis, whose military had close ties to General Sisi from his former post as head of military intelligence, were supporting the (military) takeover as well. Western diplomats say that General Sisi and his circle appeared to be in heavy communication with Israeli colleagues, and the diplomats believed the Israelis were also undercutting the Western message by reassuring the Egyptians not to worry about American threats to cut off aid.
"Israeli officials deny having reassured Egypt about the aid, but acknowledge having lobbied Washington to protect it.
"When Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, proposed an amendment halting military aid to Egypt, the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee sent a letter to senators on July 31 opposing it, saying it 'could increase instability in Egypt and undermine important U.S. interests and negatively impact our Israel ally.' Statements from influential lawmakers echoed the letter, and the Senate defeated the measure, 86 to 13, later that day."
There's more here than a whiff of Jewish conspiracy theories that fueled medieval anti-Semitism. Notice that AIPAC is tagged as an "influential" pressure group presumably capable of swaying the U.S. Senate. AIPAC cracks the whip, purportedly, and 83 senators jump to Israel's tune. It apparently doesn't occur to the Times that 83 U.S. senators are capable of voting based on their own agendas and beliefs — without a need of "influential" external lobbying to make up their own minds.
As for Israel's supposed role in taking sides against the Muslim Brotherhood, the authors of the article never bother to identify their sources. Never mind that Israeli officials from Prime Minister Netanyahu on down are on record as having decided that Israel will avoid involvement in Egypt's conflict. So why rely on dubious, unattributed sources like "the Israelis" and "Western diplomats " and "the diplomats believed," and General Sisi "appeared to be" etc.? Could it be that on-the-record

Felix Mendelssohn was a 19th century rock star. The classical composer was good looking, charming and gifted. Overcoming anti-Semitism and a bitter rivalry with his contemporary, Richard Wagner, Mendelssohn rose to the status of a musical icon. A moving and humorous new show, "Better Than Beethoven," chronicles the composer's life -- his relationship with his Jewish philosopher grandfather, his father's attempts to shield the family from discrimination by converting them to Lutheranism, the hordes of adoring women who pursued him -- including Wagner's daughter -- and his revolutionizing effect on German classical music. But, the question remains for you to answer: Who's better than Beethoven?
Fri.-Sat. at 8 p.m., Sun. at 2 p.m. Through Aug. 12. $25. Secret Rose Theatre, 11246 Magnolia Blvd., North Hollywood. (323) 960-7863. http://www.plays411.com/btbmusical. July 20.

Will China Fall into a Middle Income Trap? Growth, Inequality and Future Instability
** Please note the event is only open to Stanford affiliates. RSVPs are necessary to attend. RSVP required by 5PM December 2 **
The problem: Despite the recent robust growth, there is concern that as China moves up the income ladder that its high level of inequality may be a breeding ground for future instability. We are not merely talking about the current (today's) inequality: the 3:1 one urban to rural inequality in per capita income. More importantly, we are concerned about the implications of today's human capital inequality between China's cities and its poor rural areas. There are inequality gaps of 30:1 (matriculation into college); and 8:1 (early childhood education gap; and 4:1 (matriculation into fast-tracked academic high schools).
Is this a concern of development economists from the West? Or, is this something in which China's policy making, academic and business communities are interested. In fact, China's leaders—including those at the very top—have recently become extremely interested in understanding if anything in the nature of its economy is setting up the country to be headed on a road that could end up in a middle income growth trap.
China knows a lot about its own economy today. There are two questions that are outstanding and which this conference hopes to answer:
ONE: We are interested in what if, anything the implications of the human capital gaps on the economy and political stability (wending) of one to two decades from now.
TWO: Are there lessons from the rest of the world—yesterday, today and tomorrow—that can help formulate policy solutions to potential barriers to rapid and sustained growth?
Approach: In a one day conference at Stanford, sponsored by FSI and SCID, experts from growth, inequality, development and political economy, academics and policy people from inside and outside of China (and from inside and outside of Stanford) will contribute their knowledge.
Output: A monograph that distills the lessons from the conference, the target audience being China's top leadership and its academic elite (who act as advisors to China's top leadership).
This document will seek to put the current economic development process through which China is moving into international perspective. The monograph will be coauthored by Scott Rozelle, Nick Hope, Hongbin Li, Liu Shouying, Cai Fang and others.

TC TO JOHN FORSTER ; 28 April 1848; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18480428-TC-JF-01; CL 23: 24
[28? April 1848]
Dear Forster,—I have jammed these two unfortunate Articles into a kind of combination. Too long, I am afraid;1 but if you can publish them in whole today, I shall have done with the thing and feel my heart a little easier.
As the matter stands at present it is one Article; but if you like better it can easily be made two: divide it at the present "white line" (and really I think that might be better); let the first continue to be called "Irish repeal," and call the second "English repeal":2 that could really be done. Furthermore there is this to be said, If the first Article be not published before the other, it cannot be published at all;—and really I could wish they went together, and I were fairly rid of them.
Finally,—I do not think there will be any more corrections: but if you send me the sheets, I shall be at home all this evg, and will run over them one other time: failing this, you are to do it, and be responsible that no nonsense glide thro. Put "C." to both articles; and modify what is said atop, if you like,—tho' I think it will do.
Yours ever /
T. Carlyle
I have kept Henry for hours,—poor fellow!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Sophomore Angely Martinez led Alabama on day four of the Southeastern Conference Swimming and Diving Championships being held in Texas A&M Natatorium this week after taking eighth place in the platform diving event.
Martinez posted a score of 258.65 to post her second top-eight finish of her career at the SEC Championships. Freshman Emma Saunders posted a career-best 54.09 to take 19th place. Saunders' time is just two-hundredths of a second off Stacy Potter's 1994 school record.
Sophomore Emily Facchine took 22nd place in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:00.87. In prelims she posted a career-best 2:00.23, which ranks her fifth all-time at Alabama. In the 100 breaststroke sophomore Kaylin Burchell touched the wall with a 1:00.89, good for 16th place.

Junior Andrew Wrist took 15th place in the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:47.57 while junior Hunter Hinson took 24th with a time of 1:47.94. Wrist posted a 1:47.10 in prelims, which ranks him 10th all-time for the Tide.

Deaton posted a career-best 48.92, good for 20th place while Caciuc took 22nd with a 49.00 and Shirey was 24th with a 49.35. In prelims, Shirey touched the wall with a career-best 48.56, which ranks him sixth all-time for the Tide.
Junior Cameron Conners took 18th in the 100 breaststroke with a career-best time of 54.65 while junior Philip Dockery posted a career-best 55.91 to take 22nd place. Conner's time, which dropped almost half a second between prelims and finals, ranks him sixth all-time for the Tide.
Alabama's men and women finished the day in 10th place with men tallying 302 points and the women 264.
Alabama returns to action on Saturday with the men's and women's 100 freestyle, 200 backstroke and 200 breaststroke as well as men's platform diving.

Secrets of Success
Sunday, 2/24--Why not me?
Sunday, February 24, 2013
I'm awake right now. That's about it. I started feeling yucky Thursday afternoon. The principal came to get me to sub in the kindergarten class and I told her that I couldn't physically do that job. The room is too crowded for my walker in that room and kindergarten children need a lot of face to face help that requires bending over, including tying shoes and fastening zippers. (I taught both preschool and kindergarten, I haven't forgotten. I loved that work, but it isn't right for me.)
Feeling yucky may have made the results of my shoulder evaluation look even worse than it should have--the PT found a lot of problem areas in my left shoulder complete with two places she suspected were torn or damaged. She did an ultrasound and told me it was too early for me to try any exercises on it due to how sore it was.
I went home from PT and my hip workout and felt miserable for most of the night--head and body aches, some fever/ chill things. I muddled around most of the evening, had some chicken soup and kept thinking that I might have been coming down with the flu. I had my pneumonia shot a few years ago, good for ten years and I had my flu shot in October, so I thought I was protected from those nasty illnesses. I tried to do my sparking but was not able to stay focused on much and I think I might have gotten 13 points.
I woke up early Friday morning--we were predicted to have 12 inches of snow, but we had 3 or 4. I took meds and I think they gave me a false sense of security, that I was going to be okay. I got to school and started doing my work when I was told that I had to go teach first/second grade. OK, I have never subbed and don't want to. Following someone else's plans doesn't seem like anything I want to do. It was also picture day and I had to keep the kids calm and collected while we were in one line or the other for 35 minutes. By the end of the morning, moving and holding up my head were taking all of my energy. Th principal came to me and told me that she found someone who could come in at 12:40 and then I could get back to my regular work. I rested my head during the 40 minute lunch and recess break the kids had and brought them back to the room. There's a lot of walking in our school and I had to make a couple of stops, not for my hip and knee, but to get myself functioning.
The sub came and I went to my room and called my doctor. When I described how I felt, they told me to go straight to the ER. I canceled therapy and he took me to the hospital. Of course, my husband was giving the boys rides to work and he didn't show up to school until after 3:30. By the time he showed up, I had started wheezing and had used my inhaler. We got to the hospital and I hjad to fill out their blue paper telling why I was there--I wrote "sick" because I didn't have the energy or strength to do any more. (They weren't amused.) They did their usual round of tests, swabbed my nose (big yuck!) and took me to a room--although, way not that fast. I got to the room and they told me that I had tested positive for influenza type B. When the doctor listened to my lungs, he heard "rails" (?) on both sides and sent me for an x-ray. It came back that I had pneumonia, particularly affecting the right side.
I got my first dose of Levaquin before I left the hospital. They gave me a prescription for the costly Tamiflu, Levaquin, Ondansetron, and Cheratussin AC Syrup--delightful tasting, helps the cough a bit. I have so many symptoms that I cannot keep track of what is going on and the meds have different times schedules, so this has been my work of the weekend. Chills and fever switch off and on, coughing and wheezing come and go--both causing pain in my back. I feel all drugged up and numb with an achy body and a painful head. I have to get up and move around--an arthritic requirement for any of you who don't know, and I forget to be careful with my tender parts because I am a mess, so my shoulder gets a jerk, my knee gets moved the wrong way or I pull on my new hip in a way that it hasn't gotten used to. That gives me a jolt and an awakening.
The doctor told me that the elderly were having issues with flu after the flu shot failed to do its job. I reminded him that I was 57 and he said that people with chronic health issues and suppressed immune systems were in the same category--and that I certainly qualified under those rules. The article in our paper and the one on Health News here at SP both neglected to mention that. It's my guess that they came from the same news source.
My family is at church, enjoying a potluck before the Congregational Meeting with our new pastor. I hate missing that, but there is not one person that I would wish this on. I am hoping that I come around by morning because I need to work. I cannot afford to have my pay docked any more than it already is from my surgical leave. I won't go if I am sick, but I am praying that I will be over this. Part of me thinks that this is totally unfair, I finally was getting back into going to the pool. I know better than to think about what is and isn't fair. I guess that changes the question from being "Why me?" to "Why not me?"
My next report should be the one where I am getting better!!
Gentle, gentle hugs,

I have always been told to get the flu shot and that it would cost me nothing because I am in the category of weakened immune system at risk even though I too, am not a senior. I did not know the pneumonia shot is supposed to last 10 years. I never got that one either. I usually get the flu one, but both times they were offering it, I was too busy to be there to get it. the club has really taken over my life this winter..That is a really bad % that only 9% of the flu shots were effective :(( I am very fortunate that I don't seem to ever catch colds or infections no matter how much I am exposed to it at the club. One lady even showed up with pneumonia and said she didn't think it was contagious!!! I have seen her and certain others always blatting away in kleenexes and wish they would just stay the heck home when they are sick as others have to handle the cards they do and sit in the same chair, etc., etc.
I hope that expensive cocktail of drugs kicks in for you soon!!

I have been sick with it since January 24 and the doctor said it will be 6-8 weeks before I am done with the pneumonia. At least I am improving a lot. I hope you do as well.

Amid claims of police beatings during Gujarat clashes, India should step up press protection
Images of police forcibly suppressing protesters, such as the one above, are seen in many places around the world. Too frequently, journalists trying to cover these events find themselves caught in the crosshairs, with news crews beaten by police batons, exposed to teargas or hit by water cannon. From race riots in Ferguson in the U.S. to clashes in India, journalists covering unrest risk finding themselves injured in the violence.

I have to use Mac in my work from yesterday and I'd like to know how can I make active one particular window if I have opened let's say 3 firefox windows or 3 terminal windows by one mouse click. Is there any way I can have list of all way available open applications and its windows?
To add to Mark's answer, with one mouse click you can also left-click and hold the application icon in the dock, and it will lay out the windows associated with that application using Exposé. Then you can select the window you want.
If you cmd (or right click) on the the app in the dock you get a list of the apps windows to choose.

Mackovic was a key hire for UA following the Nov. 24 resignation of Dick Tomey. He was named the Wildcats' 26th head coach on Dec. 4. The staff will sign its first recruiting class on Feb. 7 and is preparing for the beginning of spring practice which is expected to start March 19 or 20 on campus. Mackovic will hold his first spring game on Saturday, April 21.
The tour will culminate in a "Meet John Mackovic Fiesta" at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9, in Tucson at the University Marriott Hotel. That program and each of the previous five stops on the tour are free and open to the public, with hors d' oeuvres style refreshments included.
The style of the events is "tailgate" atmosphere, with UA mascots and plenty of opportunity for UA supporters to mingle with the coach. University of Arizona alumni board members in each of the locations on the tour are helping to draw supporters to the events.
Mackovic, members of his staff and UA athletics personnel will travel in a recreational vehicle and a bus to three receptions in the southern part of the state Thursday, Feb. 8. First is a visit to the Nogales area for a breakfast gathering at the Rio Rico Resort, followed by a noon reception at the University of Arizona South Campus in Sierra Vista and a late afternoon gathering at the Douglas Golf & Social Club in Douglas.
Friday's schedule includes a morning stop at the Holiday Inn in Casa Grande, a noon reception at the Rustler's Roost just south of Baseline Road in Phoenix and the gathering back in Tucson in the late afternoon. Fans should RSVP for the Tucson event by calling 520-621-2331.
UA officials and Mackovic plan summer excursions in the same vein to other parts of the state including Prescott, Flagstaff, Show Low and Yuma.
The tour schedule: Thursday, Feb. 8 -- 9 to 11 a.m. at Rio Rico Resort; noon-2 p.m. at UA South Campus in Sierra Vista; 4-5:45 p.m. at the Douglas Golf & Social Club. Friday, Feb. 9 - 9 to 11 a.m. at the Casa Grande Holiday Inn; noon to 2 p.m. at Rustler's Roost in Phoenix; 5 to 8 p.m. at the University Marriott in Tucson.

53comments Unreal Engine 4 Elemental Video Released
Posted Fri 8th Jun 2012 11:40pm by Kelly Miller
Wii U support is undetermined.
The Unreal Engine has become a mainstay in gaming because of the users ability to easily create mods and because developers have a relatively pain-free time when using it. Now on the tail end of E3 2012, Epic Games have finally released to the public what was once only being shown behind closed doors. Below is a short clip showing off the technical power of Unreal Engine 4.
In an Interview with the President of Unreal, Mike Capps, he states that with their goal with the fourth iteration of their popular game development platform was to not only give devs great graphics, but to make creating those graphics as easy as possible. By doing so Capps hopes to help bring down development budgets as well by making the game development process much faster.
According to Develop the new engine will allow about one million particles on-screen at any given time and include the visual scripting editor Kismet 2. The Kismet 2 editor allows developers to make changes to the code and watch as the changes are implemented in real-time.
While Epic has said that the engine will be used for future PC and Next-Generation consoles, they have yet to announce whether it would be coming to the Wii U. According to an article by CVG, the console is currently running on tech that will support future development of games utilizing Unreal Engine 3.

According to recent figures, 65 percent of patients with cancer
receive radiation treatment. Since its opening in 1982, the ETMC
Cancer Institute's radiation oncology cancer has served more than
12,000 cancer patients. Onsite radiation oncologists (physicians
who specialize in this treatment) and medical physicists supervise
the radiation therapy program. The institute's radiation therapy
center provides state-of-the-art technology including the
simulation equipment and three-dimensional software that plans
treatment and linear accelerators that deliver the radiation
The center was one of the first in the country to provide a new
technology in the treatment of selected brain tumors: stereotactic
surgery, which combines the disciplines of neurosurgery and
radiation therapy to reduce or eliminate these tumors. With
stereotactic radiosurgery, no incision is made. Instead, a surgeon
uses what is called an "X-knife" to direct a beam of radiation to a
tumor with pinpoint accuracy. This advanced technology reflects the
ETMC Cancer Institute's dedication to providing the most effective
and least invasive diagnosis and treatment modalities

ZF-6554: need to make forward to an existing email
Hi people.
It will be very nice to be able to make forward to an existing email. This will prevent lot of work and bugs like: what will happen if you have an html but set it text? what will happen if you have attachments or is multipart and other.
I searched for this but didnt found anything so please forgive me if this request or feature exists already. Is first time I came here :).
How I see it now:
//take an existing email
$oldMail = new Zend_Mail_Storage_Imap();
//make new Zend_Mail that can accept a Zend_Mail_Storage_xx object
$mail = new Zend_Mail($oldMail);
//set new to
greets, Alex
This would be very nice. I also have a project where I need to forward a mail (from imap storage).
Because it is not possible with ZF, I have to do it with PEAR.
Sorry, I have been inactive since last April.
As a short term solution, would object cloning work? [http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php]
$mail = clone $oldMail;
The problem is when reading a mail from an IMAP server you get a Zend_Mail_Message object, but for sending a mail you need a Zend_Mail object. And there is no easy convert function for that.
Perhaps the problem is now a bit more clear.

I've traveled to Iceland a couple of times and am always fascinated by the vegetation way up at Europe's northernmost capital. I've eaten at restaurants that featured the bounty of Iceland. Exceptional! Gorgeous! Things that can grow there have a special tenacity and phyto-nutrients. The water quality in Iceland is also exceptional. Wouldn't it be great if you could utilize the treasure trove of nature on your skin? Well, you can, with skyn ICELAND! I was very happy to be hosted to experience it. This is what they say about the brand:
Our inspiration comes from nature, in the pure unspoiled natural resources of Iceland – with its mineral rich waters, antioxidant powered berries, soothing algaes, replenishing mosses and immune boosting Angelica Archangelica. With these potent naturals, we created products that soothe, stabilize, fortify and nourish skin, bringing it back into balance and returning it to a glowing, youthful state.
Their packaging is cute: labels suggest all of the dire situations for which you may need their products -- like eating carbs all day, not wearing sunscreen, being hungover, etc.
skyn ICELAND has several products that are perfect for travelers:
Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels with Elastin and Peptides have been given awards by beauty mags such as Bazaar. It's absolutely perfect for air travel -- it doesn't count against your 3-1-1 carry-on travel bag. It's flat and only takes 10 minutes to use, depuffing eyes, refreshing. I would and will use it on planes! Why not? It's great at home, too . . . a quick addition to "spa night".
Glacial Cleansing Cloths with White Willow Bark & Cucumber Extract are also perfect for air travel; they, too will not count against your 3-1-1 carry-on travel bag. The natural ingredients it contains should help defend against breakouts, too. They don't require water to rinse off, which is good when you don't want to use sketchy public restrooms.
Pure Cloud Cream with Arctic Berries and Peptides is good for dry, sensitive skin and is sized for a 3-1-1 carry-on travel bag. I've had Arctic berries in things like cocktails. They're tart and full of nutrition, like cranberries. The cream itself has a chocolate mousse-like texture and doesn't feel greasy or heavy.
Beauty experts always say, you gotta use an eye cream to preserve your looks. Icelandic Relief Eye Cream with Cotton Powder has a light, pudding texture, so you don't have to drag it all around to apply it. It's for minimizing puffiness, wrinkles and dark circles. It too is sized to fit in a 3-1-1 carry-on travel bag.

Last week, I published an article about a tragic murder-suicide that happened in West Palm Beach, Florida. A 48 year old woman, Jennifer Berman, murdered her 2 teenage children and herself in what appeared to be a deliberate murder-suicide. What could possibly have led a young woman to end her life and that of her 2 innocent children so abruptly? And was this just an isolated incident of some crazy woman?
The answer to this question is a sad commentary about life in the 21st century. In the not too distant past, there were occasional tragic incidents like this one but either they were quite rare - or - the news did not travel so quickly. Only a few short decades ago, we did not have the internet and broadband TV to broadcast the news so quickly and so completely. Also, in the past the general public tended to be able to turn a blind eye to this type of incident, declaring that the perpetrator, the one who murdered the others, was insane. Most of us believed that we, as upstanding citizens, would never be able to commit such a heinous crime. We believed that it was only someone from a horrendous childhood upbringing and severe mental instability who could be driven to such a desperate ending.
What we have been discovering in recent years is that this rage and depression and sense of desperation has spread to all segments of the population. These types of incidents are not only happening because a psychotic family member gained access to a deadly weapon. It is not only happening in low economic, socially deprived families and neighborhoods. We have now have examples of highly upstanding citizens suddenly turning on their closest family members and doing the unthinkable - murdering their spouse and their innocent children.
This week alone, there were 3 major incidents that have shocked the nation - one spousal murder and two suicide murders including children.
One incident occurred in West Palm Beach, Florida. A mother killed her teenage son and daughter. This triggered me to write an article (Healing from an abusive relationship with a control freak co-parent) and radio interview of my colleague and friend, Dr. Debra Wingfield, who has written a powerful book that explains the type of coercive and controlling parenting and co-parenting that might have helped to create and exacerbate the relationship problems And she offers sound advice about what can and needs to be done about it.
A second incident occurred in Dallas, Texas, January 17th, where a man killed his estranged wife as their pending divorce was nearing completion.
"A divorce was pending for a mother of five when her estranged husband fatally shot her outside a McKinney day care Thursday and then turned the gun on himself a few miles away. Melissa Williams had just picked up her two youngest, ages 1 and 4, from the Discovery Learning Center at 1815 W. White Ave. She and the children were in her Ford Fusion in the center's parking lot about 5:45 p.m. Witnesses told police they heard Cedric McFail arguing with her before the shots rang out. Police arrived moments later and found Williams dead, one day before her 36th birthday."
A third incident occurred in Utah on January 18th when a Utah police officer, upstanding citizen, shot his wife and 2 young children before committing suicide.
"A Utah police officer made a horrific decision this week in choosing to shoot and kill his wife, his two young children, his mother-in-law, and then finally commit suicide by turning the blood-stained gun on himself. State authorities have almost no clues as to why the 34-year-old defender of the law, who appeared health and in mentally stable condition prior to the fatal incident, has committed such a tragic crime. Web Pro News tells what has been investigated so far in the murder-suicide this Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014. The Utah police officer has been identified has 34-year-old Joshua Boren of the Lindon Police Department. He has been confirmed to have used a gun to shot and slay his wife, both of his children, and a relative. The killer then fatally shot himself. Officers were not aware of the sad deaths until Boren failed to appear for his night shift this week at the local department."
A 4th incident occurred in West Palm Beach in late October, 2013. A mother, Pam Brooks, repeatedly stabbed and killed her daughter, Alex Brooks, and herself.
In 2 of these incidents, the one who committed the murder completed the act by turning the weapon on him or her self. Total tragedies.
Could these have been prevented? What steps can law enforcement, mental health institutions, friends, relatives and spouses take to remedy these difficult situations before they get out of hand? What can children do to recognize and reach out when the family situation is becoming dangerous? What can you and I do to help our friends and relatives when we know something is seriously wrong?

Date: February 04 2013
BROWNLOW Medallist Jobe Watson suffered a knock to the leg in a collision at training Monday morning with the club saying he had avoided serious injury but had suffered a cork.
When Watson collided with a teammate and hit the ground clutching at his leg in pain during match practice, onlookers were alarmed.
Watson went from the ground and did not return to the game, getting treatment on the sidelines.
It was initially reported he may have suffered a hamstring strain while other onlookers feared a knee injury.
Those concerns were allayed when the club confirmed he had suffered a cork to his quad muscle.
"He is fine, he suffered a knock to the quad which they iced up and he should be fine for training tomorrow," a club spokesman said.
"He has been given the all clear by the medical staff."

Red Raiders Fall to Tigers, 31-27
DeAndre Washington had 60 all-purpose yards against Missouri.
Nov. 19, 2011
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP)- A late comeback effort by the Red Raiders wasn't enough, as Texas Tech fell short against Missouri on Saturday night.
Missouri's James Franklin accounted for four touchdowns and got the go-ahead score on a 9-yard run with 2:22 remaining as Missouri rallied past Texas Tech.
Franklin rushed for a career-best 152 yards with two touchdowns to help the Tigers (6-5, 4-4 Big 12) overcome Henry Josey's season-ending knee injury last week. He was 13 for 20 for 172 yards and two more touchdowns, including a 7-yarder to Marcus Lucas earlier in the fourth that cut Texas Tech's lead to three.
Texas Tech threatened late, driving to the Missouri 6, before Dominique Hamilton tipped a pass from Seth Doege and Michael Sam intercepted at the 4.
Doege threw for one touchdown and ran for another for Texas Tech (5-6, 2-6), which has lost four in a row and must beat Baylor next week to become bowl eligible for the 12th straight season.
This was a major improvement for the Red Raiders, who have lost by an average of 42 points the previous three games and absorbed the worst loss in school history last week in a 66-6 rout against Oklahoma State.
Missouri trailed entering the fourth quarter for the seventh time, and won for the second time under those circumstances.
A week after trailing 49-0 at halftime in a 66-6 loss to Oklahoma State, Texas Tech started fast, playing with the wind on a gusty day, and led 17-10 at the break, fueled by touchdowns on two of the first three possessions - a 1-yard run by Bradley Marquez out of the wildcat formation and Doege's 3-yard run. It was only the third time Tech had led at the break all season.
Michael Egnew's first touchdown catch in five games came on a leaping grab in the back of the end zone to cut Missouri's deficit to 20-17 with 4:43 to go in the third quarter. It was the first touchdown in the third quarter in five games for the Tigers, who have totaled 40 points in that quarter all year.
Texas Tech went up 10 again on Darrin Moore's 24-yard catch from Doege with one second left in the third that made it 27-17.
The wind was such a factor early that Texas Tech called a timeout to force Missouri to punt into it. The move was foiled when Trey Barrow got a very favorable roll on a 68-yarder into the end zone.
Missouri blew a scoring chance in the first quarter when Kendial Lawrence got stripped by Cornelius Douglas at the Red Raiders 6-yard line and fumbled the ball out of the end zone.
Moore's 54-yard run to the 6 topped his season total of 39 yards the first 10 games and set up a 5-yard run by Franklin that capped a 10-play, 90-yard drive, the Tigers' longest of the year.
Missouri cornerback E.J. Gaines had two pass breakups for a season total of 16, breaking the single-season school record set by Michael Harden in 2002.

Dear COPD Coach,
It seems like after I eat a large meal, I have a hard time breathing. When this happens it lasts for sometimes an hour or more. What is going on?
—Hard to Eat
Dear Eat,
The problem you mentioned is very common with COPD, and it is somewhat surprising that many are not aware of what causes this. The answer is really simple. It is the way our body is made. Because our diaphragm pushes against the stomach, when we fill our stomach, it in turn pushes against our diaphragm making it hard to breathe. People without lung disease don't notice this because they have a better breathing capacity.
However, when your breathing is compromised to begin with, problems like this can occur.
Learning to live with COPD means that we have to make some lifestyle changes, and one of these changes is how we eat! Here are some hints that may help you:
- When you eat, relax. Tense muscles can make breathing harder.
- Try taking your meds prior to eating. If you use supplemental oxygen, be sure to use it when you eat!
- Sit up straight when you eat, don't recline as this will make it harder for your diaphragm to work.
- Rather than eating three large meals, eat more often during the day, say six meals, with much smaller portions.
- If you do eat one large meal during the day, eat it early. This will give you more energy throughout the day.
- COPD makes breathing in the morning more difficult for some. However it is very important that you still eat breakfast. Here's why: when you have difficulty breathing you require more energy, so you have to consume the calories your body needs.
- If you are underweight, don't drink, or drink sparingly, during the meal. Drinking liquid during the meal will cause you to fill up quicker before you are able to take in the calories you need.
- Avoid the bloat. Eating foods like cabbage, beans or broccoli, or fried, greasy foods can lead to bloating which in turn makes it more difficult to breathe
- Eat slowly, don't try and rush the meal. If you start to get short of breath, pause until you recover
- Watch what you eat. Avoid salty foods as these will cause you to retain fluids which will make it harder to breathe. Eat well balanced meals! For more information on the types of foods that are best for COPD patients, take a look at our BFRG. [link here].
- Don't waste your time eating foods with little nutritional value. Get the calories you need with the least amount of volume! Pick foods that are easy to digest and easy to chew!
- Remember to do pursed-lip breathing. Gulping air with your mouth open can also cause excess air in your stomach.
Remember, as COPD worsens, the diaphragm actually changes shape and goes from convex to flat to ultimately even concave—so it does not work as well and is much more likely therefore to be effected by a stomach enlarged post-eating.
Check with your doctor to learn if you are over or under your ideal body weight and he or she could refer you to a registered dietician for a food plan formulated especially for you.
Hope this helps, and be sure to let us know if you have any other questions!

From the moment it appeared as a concept at the North American International Auto Show in 2007, the Chevrolet Volt sparked imaginations. After more than three years, the first production models appeared in Austin showrooms last December.
Now that the concept is a reality, can we really make the leap from gasoline to electricity? To take a leap forward you'll have to try the Nissan Leaf, but for the more cautious but still committed branch of the alternative fuel family, you can dip your toe in the gasoline-free pond with the 2011 Chevy Volt.
At a launch held in Austin last December (Austin was also the only city in Texas to receive the first shipments of Volts and one of five cities nationwide designated with that honor), I had the chance to hit the road in a Volt along sections of the Texas Hill Country.
The feeling of driving a prototype, aka, science experiment, was hard to shake but as the day progressed, the Volt's potential emerged. Its low center of gravity gave it a solid feel on curves and the addition of a Sport setting also improved performance, albeit at the cost of fuel efficiency.
While original predictions estimated the electric range on a fully charged battery would be 40 miles that has changed to 25–50 miles depending on several conditions. I began with a charge for 32 miles, however, conservative driving, easy to monitor on the four-color digital IP panel, extended my range by a few miles.
What owners may not realize is that when the gasoline engine does kick in, extending the range another 310 miles, it's powering the electric motors, unlike current gasoline/electric hybrids that switch between electric and gasoline power. The Volt does require premium gasoline for better performance and maximum fuel economy.
Billed as an option to reducing fuel consumption, the Volt earned an EPA estimated combined fuel economy of 93 miles per gallon (mpg) using only electricity and 37 mpg using gasoline. Chevy engineers at the launch estimated the added cost to utility bills for nightly charging would be $1.50.
To charge the Volt, owners will be encouraged to install a 240-volt plug in their homes to speed up charge time to 6–8 hours. A 240V external charging station sold as an aftermarket item will cost $490. The traditional 120-volt plug can still do the job but will need 10-12 hours. Comparatively, the 240V plug is practically a must for the Nissan Leaf, shortening charge time from 20 to 8 hours.
Like the model I drove during SXSW in March, the Volt's exterior still reflects GM's forward thinking, with a pressurized gasoline tank on the passenger side as well as the electric outlet on the driver's side. The power chord that will allow owners to plug-in the Volt in order to charge it at home, is still included and neatly stashed in the trunk.
Also maintained are techno-forward features like a capacitive touch center console that senses touch in order to engage controls and the blue illuminated power button for ignition.
The Volt comes with power windows but don't expect power seats—the added mass for the technology was not considered feasible. A four-seater, the Volt's hatchback will allow for cargo carrying and the seats easily engage to fold flat.
Well packaged, it also includes air conditioning, a navigation radio with 60 GB hard disc drive, AM/FM/DVD-ROM/MP3 playback capability, a radio data system, Bluetooth, XM Satellite Radio with XM NavTraffic/Weather, two, seven-inch LCD screens, premium cloth seats, and five years of OnStar.
Two available packages include Rear Cameria and Park Assist and Premium Trim. Priced at $41,000, government tax credits will theorethically drop the price by $7500.
Some may say the Volt was overly hyped as an "electric" vehicle. I drove approximately 36 miles on electric power and an additional 70 with gasoline. Real world driving distances will probably be similar, particularly in states with temperate climates. Those with weather extremes will probably earn less. Perhaps not as bold as a plug-in, the Volt is still a game-changing leap forward, but with a safety net.

Miami Dolphins must quickly marry two draft philosophies
Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin made it clear he's a passenger on this 2012 NFL draft. General Manager Jeff Ireland is the driver of this train.
Whether it become a runaway train depends on how well Miami's coaching and scouting department marry their philosophies, and approaches.
While Philbin is more involved in the draft process than he's ever been during his NFL career as an assistant, he admits Ireland and his staff are better equipped, and prepared to make the team's selections, which start on Thursday with the first round.
Philbin warned that coaches tend to "fall in love" with prospects too quickly, and don't take a broad enough look at the draft process.
"That is more his area of expertise," Philbin said about the draft. "He's been very willing (to) listen to our staff and myself. We'll offer opinions, but at the end of the day, that is really his area of expertise. He is not out here telling me what plays to run, or what periods to have, or how long they should be."
Philbin said Ireland and his band of scouts are "very thorough and very detailed," and that I can tell you is accurate.
Miami might not always pick the right prospects during the Trifecta's reign, but they do have an extensive understanding of all the players in the draft.
What's happened over the past three months is the philosophies have been blended. Or, at least that's the hope. Ireland still believes in his "big, strong, fast and intelligent" blueprint, but he must cater this draft to fill the needs of a west coast offense, and a defense that will LIKELY use a 4-3 scheme as its base.
Philbin and his staff have worked with Ireland and his staff to marry the two approaches, instructing them of the skill sets the coaches are seeking.
They prefer quickness over power and size. They want interchangeable pieces instead of specialists.
Ireland has instructed the coaches how to speak the scouting staff's language when it comes to making prospect projections. What's the vision for the player? Is he a core special teamer who might become a nickel player? What role can be carved out for this prospect immediately?
"I think the first year it is helpful to be very involved because maybe our scheme is different than the one that has been run here," Philbin said. "They valued a bigger, 345-pound offensive lineman, where we really didn't play with a whole lot of those guys in Green Bay. We maybe more interested in a 315-pounder that moved a little faster. Maybe [the O-lineman] didn't get the push that the [smaller] guy did. It's been helpful to get everyone on the same page. We can kind of share with the scouting staff from a schematic standpoint."
Ultimately, the goal is to find good football players who can fit into the systems, find a role, and eventually excel.
"A good football player should be able to fit into any particular scheme," Philbin added. "I think it's been helpful and they have been more than receptive to how we envision utilizing a particular player be it an offensive lineman or defensive lineman, or a corner, etc."

Hometown: Logan, Utah
Occupation: Gym owner and motivational speaker
Olympic athlete Rulon Gardner was born and raised in Afton, Wyo., the youngest of ten children. He was overweight growing up but still in good shape from wrestling and playing football. He graduated from Nebraska University with a degree in physical education and went on to become an Olympic athlete, winning the gold medal for wrestling in the 2000 Olympics, and the bronze medal in 2004. Rulon says he gained the weight when he continued to eat like an Olympic athlete after he stopped training for the Olympic team. He knew he had to change his life when he tried to weigh himself and his 435 lb. scale would not register his weight. Being diagnosed with sleep apnea and high blood pressure made it even more imperative that he lose weight. Now 39 years old, 474 lbs. and married, Rulon looks forward to starting a family with his wife and getting into his jeep without straining after he's lost the weight. He was inspired by season nine winner Michael Ventrella because he made the commitment to get the weight off, despite being the show's heaviest contestant ever.
