Eagle Movie Reviews
User reviews on Eagle
The Eagle is a movie about two men in 2nd century Britain who go on a question beyond the known world that tests the boundaries of their loyalty, friendship, and humanism. Directed by Kevin Macdonald and starring Channing Tatum, this movie is about the infamous ninth legion of the Roman Empire. The problem with this movie is it told a very boring version of the Ninth Legion story. I just couldn't take this movie seriously because the accents were so bad. Channing Tatum I will say did a very good acting job though. I really believed him in this role even though his accent wasn't any better than the rest of the cast. I think the story about the Ninth Legion is a very important one but this movie just didn't deliver. The fight scenes were pretty cool though and there was lots of blood. This made the movie a little better but not good enough to recommend to anyone.
The director deliberately made the Romans speak American English; to fit it into two hours he had to cut most of Rosemary Sutcliffe's sub-plots (the love interest, etc.) and he made it a lot bloodier, but still it focuses on the books themes, loyalty, honor, and friendship. Tatum and Bell both started out as dancers, but they are both very credible actors,. See it on the big screen. and read the book.
I have to say that these type of movies are not my favourite but I actually kind of liked this film. The first half of the movie is very fast paced and fun to watch, however it slows down in the second half and failed to pick up after. I did enjoy the film visually and the acting was alright, it did need more depth and development. I think the characters needed more charisma and the relationship between Esca and Marcus needed more depth because it was hard to root for them. Otherwise, the visuals were beautiful and I loved the misty mountains, rivers and woods, the director took a full advantage of the surroundings. The sets in the movie were made flawlessly and the costumes were great. I would give the movie a B- and definitely suggest seeing it in the movie theaters because it is awesome visually and it is worth seeing on the big screen.
I actually enjoyed watching this film and I am pretty surprised that I did. It was absolutely awesome visually and the costumes and the sets were pretty cool as well. The film was beautifully shot in Hungary and Scottish highlands and it was very pleasing to the eye. Special effects were pretty good and the fighting scenes were well done. Overall, technically the movie was very well made, however I had a difficulty with the story. I mean in reality a slave would never continue to aid his master if he was given an opportunity to escape and avenge his people. I agree that keeping your word is important but it is not more important then freedom and if I was Esca I would have killed Marcus with absolutely no hesitation. Overall, I recommend seeing this film because it is well made and entertaining.
Well I was pleasantly suprised with this movie. To be quite honest, unless it is an EPIC point of history, set in the actual location with 3-4 big NAME actors and actresse, with at least 2 1/2 hours of air time....these fantasy, medieval, historical, war flicks usually do NOT usually do well. This movie was chalk full of action and chivalry, honor and brotherhood. Will you hear grumbles about Tatum's acting?....sure.....but I feel his acting capabilities are growing and considering he was playing the noble, aristocratic son leading a roman garrison, then adventuring off with his trusty slave/henchman into the northern British netherworld...he did a great job. I admit I had to get past the attempt at his roman accent which he dropped 10 minutes into the movie to return to a bronxy gangster bad boy thug accent he carries with him. The second thing I had to move past was the fact that although the 9th legion did indeed exist..then vanished....there are so many accounts as to why and what happened afterwards that this obviously MOST LIKELY DID NOT happen...but that is ok. The movie was lengthy to develop the characters AND had action spaced along its length in enough scenes (although the fight scenes could have been a bit more 'dramatic and 'flairy'). The main thing I did NOT see critics focus on was how full of camraderie, honor, and chivalry not to mention loyalty to your fellow brother/man, this movie holds. This is the type of movie to remind people that honor in the face of adversity and steadfast devotion to a just cause are what more people need to bring into the modern world. I personally walked out of the movie with the feeling that the stranger to my right was someone I would go to great lengths to defend in the name of humanity. The many times in the movie when the "I will not leave your side" or "men we shall not let those solders die it is my responsibility" scenes cropped up I felt a tear in the corner of my eye and my arm wanted to pump my fist into the air and go "yeah baby!!". I do recommend seeing this movie and you wont feel your eyelids creep downward. Hats off to "The Eagle" and really hats off to the actors, settings, language and culture usage, and hats off to an HONORABLE plot.
The Eagle is a hard movie to review. It's not a bad movie. In fact, it's beautifully shot, has an interesting story, and some great action. It's a throwback to an earlier time in filmmaking, where the focus was on manliness, honor and heroism without the intrusion of the ladies. Channing Tatum stars as Roman Marcus Aquila, who travels into the far reaches of the Roman Empire to find an eagle and a Roman army that disappeared with it. He brings along Jamie Bells' Esca, a Briton who is conflicted about his relationship with Marcus: the Roman saved his life, but he's also part of the occupying army. Off into Scotland they go, where they face the savage Seal People. The problem here is Tatum. First off, he speaks with an American accent. I find it strange when directors make no attempt to have their actors even attempt to, well, act. And that's the second problem. Tatum just isn't a presence. He's just there, not really reacting to the world around him. I wanted to feel something for the character, but Tatum is so plain, it was hard to really get invested. I could tell The Eagle was entertaining, but in the end, I just didn't care enough.
The Eagle was a very cool movie. Channing Tatum is the star of this film and he really pulls off the role. He isn't really known for his acting but he had a pretty decent performance in this movie. Let me stop to say that it was very weird to hear "Romans" speak with American accents. This is one aspect of the movie that really threw me. The movie didn't do anything new but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It followed a winning formula of brotherhood, honor, and fathers and sons. I have seen this story a bunch of times but I always enjoy it. The movie was really beautiful to watch because the director was able to capture the scenery amazingly. Very predictable but at the same time enjoyable. I will definitely suggest this movie to my friends.
The Eagle, starring Channing Tatum takes a dive into second century Britain. Let's talk about Tatum's performance first. Tatum is a somewhat new actor on the scene but has been blowing up lately in huge blockbuster movies. In this film, I wouldn't say his performance was great but it also wasn't poor. The next thing to talk about is the action, which was awesome. The fight scenes and bloody battles were really fun to watch. Also, the scenery and locations where they shot the film were absolutely beautiful. There were a couple bad parts of the movie though. First of all, the accents were really bad. I don't know if the movies director decided not to hire a speech coach or there was just no teaching the actors this accent, but it just wasn't believable. Lastly, the soldiers in the movie weren't believable. It's not that their acting was poor, it's just that I didn't believe them for the soldier role because they were not in the best shape. If you are looking for any action movie to see, this one wasn't bad.

Tomorrow the German Miasmah label will release Shivers, the debut album of a trio of the same name. The members are Rutger Zuydervelt (much of whose work, including installations and other projects, is created under the name Machinefabriek), clarinetist Gareth Davis, and drummer Leo Fabriek. Zuydervelt's contribution to the group seems to be the creation and use of electronic audio processing equipment. The group is named after David Cronenberg's first film.
Between that last sentence and the image on the album cover (reproduced above), the curious listener should be prepared for all of the sinister qualities of the dark side. The background material on the Machinefabriek Web site suggests the influence of Albert Ayler. My own impressions suggest a much closer family resemblance to Glenn Branca at his most violent, even if no guitars are involved in the Shivers combo. At the same time I would say that Davis' wind work is capable of bringing mournful qualities to the overall rhetoric that one never encounters in Branca's work.
The entire album is rather brief, only a little more than half an hour. However, each of the six tracks is presented at a palatable length. While each of those tracks develops its own particular approach to establishing a sinister lurking quality with the suspense of potential catastrophe, there is no sense (as sometimes arises with Branca) of an unbearably oppressive experience in which all you want is for it all to stop. Shivers seems to know just how to get under the skin of the attentive listener without overstaying its welcome (so to speak).

Love Lessons: Married and bored
Dear Cheryl,
I love my husband, but I am feeling very bored in my marriage. When we first got married, it was so exciting. We were making plans, spending lots of time together, learning new things about each other. After 10 years, there is no excitement. We don't talk like we used to. Romance is pretty much gone, and sex is just going through the motions. I feel like my marriage is going downhill fast. What can I do to save it?
Scared in Charlotte
Dear Scared,
Your situation is a common one. This happens because once a couple is married, they become more familiar with one another. At the same time this familiarity occurs, they find that they are so comfortable being together, they just don't try as hard as they used to. Remember when you were dating and you would spend hours getting ready for your date? You wanted to present your best self to your date. Do you still do that for your husband? Does he still do that for you? Just because you get married doesn't mean that a good relationship is a given. A relationship is a living, breathing thing and unless you feed and water it…it will die.
Here are some ways to bring some excitement back into your marriage:
-Appreciate the beauty of your commitment to one another. This includes the familiarity that you have with one another. This can open you both up to deeper emotional and physical intimacy.
-Set aside a small amount of time each day to spend together in prayer or just talking to each other about your hopes and dreams.
-Have a regular date night each week. It doesn't have to be expensive. It can be as simple as a walk in the park. Take the time to plan it out ahead of time. This will give you something to look forward to all week. It will also give you the chance to plan.
-Enhance yourself as a person. Take a class. Volunteer. Go back to school. There are always opportunities for learning and growing. This will help keep you interesting as a person.
-Take an interest in your appearance. This will show your partner that you still care about yourself. This is very sexy, and will translate into your sexual relationship. Be adventurous in your sexual relationship. Be honest and open as well. Marital sex is meant to be a beautiful, spiritual union.
It is not too late to get your marriage back on track. Talk to your spouse, and let this conversation open the door to utilize some of the above suggestions

Suspect in crime spree no stranger to money troubles
View storify of the day's events.
A Salmon Creek man was charged Thursday with seven felonies, a day after police said he committed two bank robberies, a carjacking and a hit-and-run accident in Clark County during a 90-minute crime spree that ended with his capture in North Portland.
Clark County prosecutors issued a warrant charging Brent J. Woodall with three counts of first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, attempt to elude a police vehicle and hit-and-run injury.
Woodall, who turned 29 Wednesday, is being held in the Multnomah County, Ore., Jail. The warrants request that he be held without bail.
It isn't yet clear whether Woodall will first be prosecuted for his alleged crimes in Portland before being extradited to Clark County. He stands accused of second-degree robbery and attempting to elude police in Portland.
Clark County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Camara Banfield said Multnomah County prosecutors have told her they expect to make a decision in the next few days whether to proceed with their case against Woodall or release him to Clark County's custody.
The crime spree began about 3 p.m., when a man identified as Woodall went to Riverview Community Bank, 1220 N.E. 88th St., and allegedly presented a note to a teller indicating he was armed with three types of weapons and demanding money, according to the arrest warrant affidavit filed in court. The robber left with an undisclosed amount of cash, but ditched the money in the parking lot after dye packs exploded on the bills.
A chase involving the suspect's black Toyota Sequoia SUV ensued through neighborhoods east of the bank before emerging onto Highway 99, Interstate 5 and then Highway 14. Along the way, the suspect swerved to miss police spike strips and avoided several attempts by sheriff's deputies to use what's called a PIT maneuver to turn his car.
The first chase ended about 3:20 p.m. when deputies lost sight of the Toyota driving northbound on Lieser Road.
A few minutes later, Vancouver police received a call about a robbery at Bank of America, 3308 N.E. Auto Mall Drive, where a man matching Woodall's description also showed the teller a note demanding cash.
The robber allegedly took off with $14,278, according to the arrest warrant.
By this time, sheriff's deputies had Woodall's name and address. Deputies headed toward his Salmon Creek home soon spotted the Toyota Sequoia, and another chase ensued. Moments later, the Toyota hit a minivan belonging to Scott Lewis and continued west on Northeast 144th Street at Northeast 29th Avenue. Lewis complained of soreness and was treated at a hospital. Due to the danger to bystanders, deputies decided to discontinue the chase near Northeast 134th Street and 20th Avenue.
The next call came from the AM/PM convenience store at 39th and Main streets, where a man identified as Woodall allegedly attempted to carjack a vehicle. Minutes later, police got word that the suspect stole a Ford Focus from a man, Robert Camper, outside an office building on East 15th Street in downtown Vancouver. The damaged Toyota was abandoned nearby.
"Camper said Woodall told him, 'I need your car. I don't want to hurt you.' Camper was in shock and questioned Woodall with 'What?' " according to the arrest warrant. The man replied, " 'I have a gun' and motioned with his free hand like he was reaching for a pistol along his waist."
Woodall then allegedly drove the stolen Focus onto Interstate 5 and into Portland, with officers once again in pursuit. He was captured by the Portland Police Bureau in the St. Johns area of North Portland after being pinned between a minivan and a police cruiser.
At first, investigators wouldn't say whether they believed Woodall was the suspect in the Bank of America robbery. However, court records indicate a Bank of America teller recognized Woodall as a former classmate at Prairie High School A bank camera photo released by police show that the robber was wearing the same clothes and had the same marking on his face as Woodall did at the time he was booked into jail late Wednesday.

It was always special whenever one of our favorite television sitcom comedians appears live but seeing Kevin James and Ray Romano at the same time was a night to remember! They are two completely different personalities, two men who have each perfected their own individual art of comedy.
They are both so popular, that the Mirage Resort wisely books them alone and together. The moment Kevin James walked on stage, the audience went wild. Kevin said, "Let's start this party" and the fun began!
He spoke about security at the airport, the pictures of the type of things you cannot take on a plane. Kevin's examples were so outlandishly funny, very unlikely objects for anyone to try to bring. He switched the subject to walkers with tennis balls then discussed people who want to take his picture but do not know anything about a camera.
With Kevin's easy going conversational-style, he sometimes answered his own questions or asked the audience to imagine certain comic situations. Kevin's used his acting skills as he dramatized some of his lines. He shared a quick peek into his life with the audience.
Kevin's stories about his wife, Steffiana, two daughters, and himself were priceless. They meant so much more to the audience. Like most people, Kevin complained about eating too much and was happy he has been losing weight.
In fact, Kevin includes a routine about one temptation- cinnamon rolls. Starring as Doug Heffernen, everybody's lovable blue-collar worker, the IPS delivery man on his hit CBS sitcom series "King of Queens", Kevin kept to his television image of being every man, a "regular guy". People can identify with Kevin, his home life and daily problems.
"King of Queens" ran nine years and is now is in syndication in the United States and around the world. Kevin was nominated for an EMMY as outstanding lead actor in the "King of Queens" comedy series. Kevin James seems to be able to find humor in almost any subject.
Kevin's show is laughs, laughs, and more laughs! His comedy was a great look at life as Kevin sees it! This was a change to find a comedian who did not have to use "X"- rated language to be funny. Kevin James is refreshing, with a natural ability to make people laugh.
Kevin's talents range further than being a successful stand-up comedian and television star, he wrote, produced, and appeared as the lead in Columbia pictures' comedy "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", this year. Other films that created a stir were "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" co-starring with Adam Sandler, in 2007, and his big screen debut in "Hitch", with Will Smith, in 2005.
Their careers seem to be paralleling and connecting through the years. There is so much to say about Ray Romano's exceptional talents as a stand- up comedian, his down home-style of comedy, and Mega-successful sitcom "Everyone Loves Raymond"; I reviewed Ray in another feature article. The Mirage Resort always schedules great shows call 792-7777 or (800)-963-9634. The Mirage Resort is located at 3400 South Las Vegas Boulevard. www.miragecasino.com

GQ Magazine caught up with ESPN's arguably most popular sideline personality Erin Andrews for a Q&A to preview the BCS National Championship game between Auburn and Oregon.
Erin Andrews, a graduate of the University of Florida, chopped it up with the magazine on a variety of topics but, of course, addressed the internet pictures that haunted her life. That's when Erin "PageViews" Andrews showed a side I hadn't seen out of her yet and name checked USA Today sports columnist Christine Brennan.
From the article:
GQ: The Internet has had an unquestionable impact on your career, both positively and invasively. Do you think the pros have outweighed the cons, because it certainly seems like it has been both friend and foe to you?
EA: If you want to be very honest, the Internet is what really hurt me mentally. A man putting my body all over the Internet, and people accessing it? It really has caused me great grief and embarrassment and it's something I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life. At the same time, you are right. Everything blew up like four, five years ago. They nicknamed me Erin Pageviews. It took me to a level I never anticipated.
GQ: What are your thoughts on the ongoing Favre saga? On one hand, it's the same kind of salacious story that has dogged your career, and yet on the other hand, it's dealing with a serious issue of sexual harassment.
EA: I look back at what people thought about me when this all came out [my hotel-room incident], and they thought I did it for publicity—that I did it to myself. People like Christine Brennan said that I deserved it. So I would like to reserve judgment.
I have the utmost respect for Christine Brennan, who is a trailblazer for women in sports print journalism. But have no problems with Erin Andrews sticking up for herself here.
Andrews was a victim of stalking when nude photos were taken of her while she was in a hotel room a few years ago. Christin Brennan caught heat for a few tweets she sent on the subject matter; "Women sports journalists need to be smart and not play to the frat house. There are tons of nuts out there. Erin Andrews incident is bad, but to add perspective: there are 100s of women sports journalists who have never had this happen to them.
In fairness, there are women in the sports journalism industry who have used their sexuality over talent to get ahead thus staining the image for everyone. However, Erin Andrews never struck me as someone who belonged in that category.
Sure, Erin Andrews is considered attractive and I can't imagine that hurts her being that she works in an image industry like television. But she's not walking around baring a midriff and flaunting cleavage in locker rooms and sidelines. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but she isn't doing nude spreads for Playboy either.
In no way, shape or form, did Erin Andrews deserve what happened to her. I'm glad to see her bounce back on her feet and do well.

In Summary
Mindful of the risk that EMR market changes could lead to delay in investment decisions for significant energy investments, the government have looked at measures to facilitate decision making ahead of EMR implementation. The Energy Bill contains powers for the Secretary of State to issue what is being referred to as an investment instrument to a generator ahead of the introduction of FiT CfDs.
The investment instruments will in fact be a form of bespoke CfD with the actual form and content being dependent on the projects coming forward. The Government have indicated that a number projects, including nuclear and early stage CCS, have expressed an interest. However, the focus will inevitably be on new nuclear.
This package doesn't answer new nuclear developer's concerns in several key areas, including, to name but a few:
Enabling final investment decisions required before CfDs Implementation
The Governments anticipate the Energy Bill will receive royal assent during Spring 2013 and that EMR implementation will then follow some time after that. They recognise that this timescale may be too late for some low-carbon generation projects (such as new nuclear) which may need to take their final investment decision (FID) before implementation has been finalised. The Government also appear to recognise that the changes proposed under the Bill could result in some final investment decisions being delayed or indefinitely postponed. To avoid this Government has declared its commitment to work with relevant developers to enable the taking of such investment decisions before EMR implementation
Investment Instruments
Accordingly, the draft Energy Bill seeks in Chapter 2 to allay these concerns, by seeking to provide (early-stage) comfort to developers to enable them to reach FID before the Bill becomes law/ Under the provisions, developers are granted an option for the Secretary of State to issue Investment Instruments (effectively an early stage or interim CfD) on terms that the Secretary of State considers appropriate in advance of the full implementation of CfDs - subject to the requisite powers being available and state aid clearances being available.
In particular, section 15 provides the Secretary of State must issue an Investment Instrument provided a draft of the Instrument has been laid before Parliament during the period between the introduction of the Bill for pre-legislative scrutiny and the time when the it ultimately becomes law as an Act of Parliament. It is a pre-requisite that the relevant developer consents to the laying of the draft Instrument and all generation license holders have been consulted.
To facilitate this process Government is establishing an FID Enabling process, under which the Government will start discussions with developers for significant projects with the following characteristics:
State Aid issues
State aid concerns will play a significant part in the Government's ability to enter into any meaningful negotiations with developers on Investment Instruments: at this point it is remains unclear whether the Government are minded to make state aid applications before they conclude any Investment Instruments. This is likely to be of significant concern for any developer who would be counterparty. Any unlawful state aid would end up being recovered from the developer counterparty, rather than the Government. Therefore without the clarity, state aid risk is in reality one for the developer rather than Government.
Investment Case protection
Developers of new nuclear projects may well take the opportunity to seek to build into any Investment Instrument some degree of contractual protection for their project's investment case. These will be structured as contractual arrangement between the developer and the Secretary of State. As such (private) contractual remedies (such as damages) will be available for breach. Therefore developers would not have to rely so much on (potentially less effective) public law remedies and investment treaty arbitration to protect their investment. It is also possible that developers may seek to evidence and document into the terms and conditions of relevant Investment Instrument(s) that their project investment is being made on the basis of certain legitimate expectations of how EMR will ultimately be enacted and implemented. If they are successful, the developer should be protected from any future adverse (discriminatory) change of law or from any discriminatory change in the way that EMR policy is ultimately implemented into law and in the UK energy market.
CfD Price Setting for Nuclear
The draft Operational Framework for CfDs which was also published alongside the 2012 Energy Bill makes clear that new nuclear will have its own CfD initially allocated through a FID Enabling process with the strike price being determined by an administrative price setting process, until the conditions are in place to move to competitive forms of price discovery. The Government expressly state that for new nuclear projects this process will involve: a price setting process determined through a cost, risk and price discovery process; and negotiation with new nuclear developers, on a project by project basis.
CfD Standardisation
The EMR Policy Overview published by the Government alongside the 2012 Energy Bill refers to CfDs being standardised across technologies, however it acknowledges that in the short term some variation may be necessary between different technologies; between intermittent and base load.
CfD Value for Money for Nuclear
Perhaps mindful of National Audit Office oversight DECC make clear that the rational for choosing CfDs as the mechanism to support low-carbon generation is that they are more cost effective than other options for support.
CfD Grandfathering for Nuclear
The Government supports the principals of grandfathering CfDs to provide investor certainty so a CfD can't be changed retrospectively once issued, other than in pre-agreed circumstances. Any variations agreed will have to represent value for money and maintain a level playing field – in line with the Government's approach to securing state aid.
The Government make clear their intention that EMR should support moving to competitive processes such as tenders or auctions as early as 2017 for technology deploying after 2020, move towards technology-neutral auctions in the longer term.
Next Steps
DECC have established an Expert Group comprised of industry experts and consumer group representatives to test and improve policy proposals. The Government state that the CfD Operational Framework is only a draft model at this stage and that they are open to discussion on its contents: payment model, counterparty and contractual terms of CfD are all open for debate through until the autumn.
The Government intend to make firm decisions in the autumn of 2012 in order to inform the price discovery process and the FID enabling work. These decisions will be subject to Parliamentary approval through the final Energy Bill or associated secondary legislation.

On June 5 in Geneva, Wis., a quiet town that runs along the shores of Lake Como about 50 miles southwest of Milwaukee, officers working with the Geneva Police Department were helping cut some tall grass in one of the town's rural ditches. Along with the usual junk and litter normally found in a roadside ditch, police came across two suitcases which they added to a pile of debris slated for disposal.
But when police checked the contents of the two suitcases, what they found led to a gruesome discovery. One dead body was stuffed into each suitcase, according to The Los Angeles Times. The discovery of the bodies in the suitcases has left Geneva residents scared and shaken.
The shocking discovery was made around 3 p.m. on Thursday. The two bodies were turned over to the Waukesha Medical Examiner's Office, where autopsies of the bodies began yesterday. If necessary, forensic investigators said that they'd return to work today to finish up those autopsies in an effort to identify the bodies and determine causes of death.
As of now, no-one knows how long those suitcases were in the ditch before being found on Thursday. Geneva Police Chief Steven Hurley released a statement yesterday saying that "It remains unclear when the suitcases were dropped along the roadway, how the victims were killed or how long the bodies were there."
"In the town of Geneva, in recent history, there haven't been any homicides. I don't know if there's ever been a homicide" in the town, Hurley said Friday. It's "a very quiet community. We've got a pretty low crime rate here."
The ditch where the suitcases were found runs along Como Road in Geneva. Hurley said that the nearest house "was about an eighth of a mile away" with farms situated on both sides of Como Road.
A Geneva resident that owns one of those farms, 70-year-old Jim Daily, said he was driving home on Thursday when he found Como Road closed with police barricades and activity, according to CBS News. Daily confirmed that the grass in and along that ditch was very tall and thick.
"I don't remember seeing anybody stopped or parked. We were as surprised as anybody else. It was a shock to all of us. You don't like finding corpses in your neighborhood," he said Friday.
Another resident, 29-year-old Jessica Finster works at Geneva's Como Inn, located only about a mile away from where the corpses were discovered. Finster told CBS that she's particularly concerned about the bodies being found so close to her place of employment as she works late nights and often closes the bar by herself.
"That's what scares me. There are bodies in suitcases right down the street from where I work," she said. "It's kind of creepy. It's like 'CSI.' But that doesn't happen around here. I've never heard of someone in a suitcase left on the side of the road except in a fictional story."
For more on the gruesome discovery of those two bodies found stuffed into two separate suitcases in rural Geneva, see the video accompanying this article.

The Miz was recently a guest on The Sam Roberts Show where he was asked about CM Punk's comments towards him in the "Best in the World" DVD. In the DVD, Punk said one of the reasons he was fed up in WWE, one of the reasons he was talking about quitting, was because The Miz was in the main event of Wrestlemania 27 and it was unacceptable to him.
Below is Miz's response:
"My favorite part about that DVD is the entire time I'm just putting him [Punk] over, putting him over… then I watch that and I'm like… what?!? What?!?! But if you look at it this way and this is the way I look at it. Any superstar that's not in the main event of Wrestlemania should be pissed off, should want it more than anybody. And I think that's what CM Punk thought. I mean, I think he thought he deserved it more than anybody. And I think everyone should feel that way. Right now, I want to be in the main event of Wrestlemania 29. Do I feel like I deserve it? Absolutely. There's no one that's worked harder than me this entire year. That's done more media that's traveled all over the world, have done live events. Filmed a movie, I mean I'm non-stop all day everyday. I don't have days off nor do I ask for days off. Do I feel like I should be in the main event of Wrestlemania? Absolutely. Am I mad that I'm not in it? Absolutely. Now am I going to sit there and, ugh, complain about it. No, I'm going to build from it. I'm going to say, you know what, Wrestlemania 29, I may not be in the main event but I can still steal the show and have everyone talking about me after Wrestlemania."
This was just in the opening five minutes of the interview. He went on to talk about dealing with Vince McMahon, messing up on TV and getting kicked out of the locker room. You can watch the appearance in its entirety in the video below:

I must say that initially I had not planned on getting up to watch Tiger Woods' Public Statement this morning because let's face it, it does not change anything within my home. Because of the message that would be sent this morning when it comes to marriage, infidelity and family, I decided to tune in like many of you that are reading this article.
We all know that Tiger Woods has been a private person and kept his family from the limelight per se, but based on recent action this has changed drastically. He emphatically says that this is his fault and no one else's. That stories had been made up about Elin that were untrue. That she should be given nothing but praise. He apologized repeatedly for his marital infidelity, cheating and also had some words for the media for intruding upon his family's personal life.
Tiger stated that it will take more than words to convey his apology to his wife. It will be by his behavior. Let's face it, in marriage it is more than words to make a husband or wife feel comfort, trust as well as the desire to move forward once trust has been broken. Trust is a trait that once broken it can be gotten back but it does take time. Tiger realizes this and when this first surfaced, removed himself from the "World of Golf" in order to work on his marriage.
I want to especially note, his statement that there are a lot of questions that the media has about the details affairs, him and Elin, etc. He remains committed to privacy and stated these are issues to be worked out between a husband and wife. He is in therapy and realizes that he needs help, which he said is hard to ask for.
So let me point out a few lessons that can be learned in marriage communication based on what was shared this morning:
1) You will not always have the answer within yourself and it is perfectly okay to ask for help.
2) When choices are made, it is not "JUST ABOUT YOU". In a marriage, all decisions affect everyone in the immediate family and can go even further to extended family.
3) When issues arise that can be overwhelming, the husband and wife do need to talk with each other and not allow outside opinions to influence their decisions. At the end of the day, the two of them are truly the only ones that know what happened.
These are only a few of the lessons that I am pointing out. If you are in the metro Denver area, and are looking for a marital therapist to help you with some questions or issues that you have, below are some therapist that are willing to work with you:
1) Karen Holland, Reinventing Relationships
2) Greg R. Thiel, Certified Family Life Educator,
3) Dr. Taffy Wagner, CEPF, Money Talk Matters, LLC - for those with financial issues that are stressing the marriage
Stay tuned and come back for Part 2. This discussion on Marriage Communication Tiger Woods style is far from over.

King Tut's Mask
This iconic funerary mask has become the logo of the King tut exhibit. All the artifacts in the King Tut exhibit are replicas made by Egyptian craftsmen.
The Canopic shrine
The canoptic shrine kept the internal organs of Pharaoh in separate canoptic urns. The selected organs were preserved in this shrine. Oddly enough, the brain and heart were not among them.
Papyrus sandals
These papyrus sandals bore images of Pharaoh's enemies. In
Egyptian culture, anything that touched the ground was a mark of major disrespect.
Tut's mummy
The mummy of King Tut, like everything else in the exhbit, is a replica and not the real thing. The ancient Egyptians used salt in the mummification process.
Tut's mummy case
Thi elaborate case was for Tut's Mummy. It has several symbols of Egypt including the Cobra and the Vulture, symbols of lower and upper Egypt, showing that Egypt was united at the time of King Tut.

I have an NSDictionary that holds all the data:
- One title (not important for this question)
- One link (not important for this question)
- One array of NSDictionary containing again 1 title and 1 link
I'm displaying this data in a view based table view like this:
- (NSInteger)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)tv
if (tv == _downloadTable)
//I use this "if" because I have another tableView that has nothing to do
//with this one
return [[myDictionary objectForKey:@"myArray"] count];
I want 2 columns in this
tableView, one to display the title and one with a checkbox, that would do something letting me know which row is checked.
- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tv viewForTableColumn :(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row :(NSInteger)row
if (tv == _downloadTable)
if (tableColumn == _downloadTableTitleColumn)
if ([[[myDictionary objectForKey:@"myArray"]objectAtIndex:row]objectForKey:@"title"])
NSString *title = [[[myDictionary objectForKey:@"myArray"]objectAtIndex:row]objectForKey:@"title"];
NSTableCellView *result = [tv makeViewWithIdentifier:tableColumn.identifier owner:self];
result.textField.stringValue = title;
return result;
if (tableColumn == _downloadTableCheckColumn)
NSLog(@"CheckBox"); //I wanted to see exactly when that was called
//But it didn't help me :(
NSButton *button = [[NSButton alloc]init];
[button setButtonType:NSSwitchButton];
[button setTitle:@""];
return button;
Right now when I run it and click on the checkbox it does nothing (of course because I don't know how to make it do something. Where should I put the code that should do something?
The main goal is an editable list of downloads, right now the list is displayed, with the checkbox right next to the title at each lines. I would like to know which checkBox are checked and which are not.
I tried this:
[button setAction:@selector(checkBoxAction:)];
- (void)checkBoxAction: (id)sender
NSLog(@"I am button : %@ and my state is %ld", sender, (long)[sender state]);
But I can't figure out how to get the row of that button, to know which title is associated with this checkBox.
I also tried the
setObjectValue method of the
tableView without success.
The way I would like it to work is:
I have a "start downloading" button that check if each checkbox is checked or not and launch the next action (downloading) only with the checked row.
I would like to avoid bindings because I plan to make it work on iOS too and I don't want to have different code for iOS.

A man and a woman had to be rescued from under a pile of rubble after a ceiling collapsed in their home.
Firefighters were called at 9.20am yesterday morning when the ceiling caved in at the flat in Upper Richmond Road, Putney.

Top of camera controls
The GXR's top panel will be immediately familiar to users of GRD or GX cameras. The main mode dial locks into place (that little button has to be pressed to turn it), but the key controls here are the twin control dials (well, one dial, one lever), that together allow almost total control of the camera without ever seeing a menu. The GXR, like many Ricoh cameras, appears to have been designed - and this isn't as common as you'd hope - by people who actually take pictures themselves, as the control (and crucially, the level of customization on offer) is exemplary.

Auto Mode
| Programmed Auto (Flexible)
The Program AE on the GXR has 'program shift' functionality. This means that you can select one of a variety of equal exposures by turning the front control dial left or right.
• 1/160 F3.2 (turn CCW a click)
|Aperture Priority Auto
In this mode you select the aperture and the camera will calculate the shutter speed for the exposure (depending on metered value; metering mode, ISO). Aperture is displayed on the viewfinder status bar and the LCD monitor, turn the front dial (or, optionally, the ADJ dial) to select different apertures. A half-press of the shutter release causes the cameras exposure system to calculate the shutter speed, if it's outside of the cameras exposure range the shutter speed will blink.

The exact movie options available will depend entirely on the lens unit attached: with the A12 50mm F2.5, for example, you get three movie modes (HD 1280, VGA and QVGA). The movie mode offers only very limited control over settings such as exposure - you can't, for example, select aperture or ISO sensitivity.

Edible Landscapes is a collection of macro images of various fruits, vegetables and herbs that emphasize their textures and shapes, conveying a sense of otherworldly landscapes -- alien, yet familiar, and of course edible. The images are shot in lush colours to serve as a visual feast for the eyes.
This photographic book presents another way of looking at the food we eat, that it invites viewers to pause and consider the different colours and textures associated with food.
Founded in late 2006, Helios Media is a culmination of a life-long dream of its principal publisher, Nelson Agustin, who loved books and art. Helios Media takes the direction of an alternative, independent publisher in Vancouver. Named for the Greek god of the sun, who was the attributed patron of the arts and omnipotent knowledge, Helios Media aims to make published media accessible to people using today's emerging technologies.

What You Can Expect
In the morning, you'll be picked up from your hotel and taken on a comfortable 3-hour drive north through the state of Rajasthan to Mandawa.
Arrive in this beautiful little town, widely known for its forts and havelis — elaborate merchant mansions of the 18th and 19th centuries featuring astounding architecture. Check in to your hotel and rest for a bit before embarking on your tour of Mandawa.
Drive around Mandawa and visit the various havelis decorated with bright murals and well-preserved paintings depicting traditional religious subjects and scenes from life of the inhabitants of Mandawa centuries ago.
You'll take walking tours of Hanuman Prasad Goenka Haveli, Goenka Double Haveli, Murmuria Haveli, Jhunjhunwala Haveli, Mohan Lal Saraf Haveli and Gulab Rai Ladia Haveli, each with its own unique traits but also sharing traditional opulence that's characteristic of 18th-century India.
In between sightseeing, stop at a local restaurant at your guide's suggestion to have lunch (own expense). At the end of your tour, you may have dinner (own expense) at the hotel or at another local restaurant. Then, soak up the lavish atmosphere as you stay overnight in a haveli-style accommodation.
Overnight: 4-star Tulip Inn Mandawa or Mandawa Haveli or similar in Mandawa

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel and have free time to enjoy the hotel's various amenities or explore Mandawa on your own. If you'd like to continue touring with your guide, simply let your guide know the day before. You can decide where and when to go, and your guide will happily drive you for up to 2 hours at no additional cost.
Afterward, you'll head back to Jaipur and be dropped off at your hotel or the Jaipur airport for your departure flight.

As it turned out, top-seeded Mount Carmel will face No. 3 seed Fontainebleau, the defending champion, in a rematch of last year's championship match on center court in the Pontchartain Center. MCA, which won the crown in 2010, advanced by winning a five-set thriller over district rival Dominican in their fifth meeting of the season, while Fontainebleau made it by overpowering upstart Northshore in three sets. It was Fontainebleau's fifth victory of the year over Northshore, the 10th seed. Overall, it was a good day of semifinals for New Orleans teams, as Metairie Country Day got past Central Catholic and will face Episcopal of Acadiana in today's 11 a.m. Division V final, Newman beat Riverside Academy to play in today's 1 p.m. Division IV final against two-time defending-champion Notre Dame, and Ursuline Academy grinded out a victory over St. Louis and will play E.D. White in the 3 p.m. Division III championship match. In MCA's 25-22, 20-25, 23-25, 25-16, 15-10 win, Katie Kampen led with 27 kills, while Megan Davenport had 14 blocks. Jillian Clark had 24 assists and Regina Baxter 35 digs. Kampen got trapped on the back row as MCA saw a 6-0 lead in the fifth set turn into a 9-7 deficit, before coach April Hagadone called a timeout in which she said it was "silly time" as she got the Cubs into "spirit mode." The spirit included some very effective blocking that turned things around. The Cubs improved to 41-4, with one of those losses coming in the two games they played against Fontainebleau. "It's another determination match at this point," Hagadone said. "Just like it was against Dominican. This will be the tell all." Emily Daigle and Janaya Hampton led Dominican (33-10) with 15 kills apiece. Julia Daigle had 49 assists and Sophie Miller 14 digs. Fontainebleau beat Northshore 25-14, 25-17, 25-16. "Most of our losses came early and since then we're in a little bit different rotation and different lineup," Fontainebleau coach Danny Tullis said. Nora Bloemer had 14 kills, Madison Heath 13 and senior Ava Zimmerman 11 and 20 digs for Fontainebleau. Setter Megan Meyer had 43 assists. Northshore saw its season end at 26-12. "Danny Davis had that team playing," Tullis said. "They did a great job, and they're a scary team and maybe a lack of experience was in our favor." "I'm very proud of from where we started to where we finished," said Davis, the Northshore coach whose Panthers stunned second-seeded St. Amant in the quarterfinals. "We came up short against a very good Fontainebleau team. They're the defending state champions for a reason, and they really handled their business today." Defending-champion Ursuline held on and avoided a fifth set against St. Louis, winning 25-20, 20-25, 25-20, 25-23. "I'm blessed," said Ursuline coach Jay Jay Juan, who also won at UA in 2009 and captured the 1999, 2000 and 2006 state titles while coach at MCA. "They took me in four years ago, when they were looking for a coach. I told them what I had in mind and those kids believe in the philosophy and the mindset." Lauren Barre had 10 kills and four aces, while Erin Regouffre added nine. Sarah Tyson had 16 digs. Newman fell behind in the first set, but rallied for a 19-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-23 victory over Riverside. The Greenies relied on the one-two punch of Jamie Hawkins (30 kills) and Avery Rowan (26 kills, four kills). "This is a group who's played together a lot for Newman volleyball," said Newman coach Colleen Loerzel. "They've been working hard and being committed, just like lots of teams out there, but they've been wanting to compete and leave it all on the floor." Riverside ended up 29-12 under first-year coach Chelsey Lucas-Nicholas. It was RA's first time in the semifinals. "We will be back here," she told her team after the defeat. Katherine Broussard had 23 kills and 10 digs as Country Day beat Central Catholic 25-20, 25-19, 22-25, 25-11. The senior just this week committed to Howard University. Country Day is trying to win its fourth consecutive state championship, all against ESA in the finals. "We have to come ready to play tomorrow," coach Julie Ibieta said. (ESA) is a very good team. They're very seasoned, have a ton of kids with a lot of experience, and they don't give you a lot of free points. We're going to have to earn them." It was a tough end in Division II for Cabrini, which lost to St. Thomas More of Lafayette 25-17, 25-20, 25-21 to end its season 31-11. "So many silly mistakes. A lot of serving errors, a lot of hitting errors, beating ourselves," said coach Greg Castillo, who lost on center court in 2009 to Assumption, lost to St. Thomas More in the 2010 quarterfinals, but then beat STM for the championship last year. STM had beaten Cabrini in their only meeting this season, in the St. Joseph's tournament. "We were serving too easy and every pass they had was right to target so they could run their offense. We were playing safe out there instead of being aggressive." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Day 10 - Why am I here?
Thursday, June 06, 2013
I've been flopping basically all the time so I thought that I ought to lay out exactly why I am here. Why I am doing this.
- Because I feel better when I am healthy. My head is clearer, I feel fresher, I am more productive, I am less grumpy. I am just a better version of me.
- My skin is clearer when I eat better.
- The feeling when I manage things I couldn't use to do. The feeling when I finish a run or a set of reps. The feeling when I can run faster or further than someone else.
- I am sick of being judged for my terrible eating habits. I am better than that and people should know it. :D
- I really don't want anyone else to ask me if I'm pregnant. I've had quite enough of that, thank you.
- My dad has a lot of problems with his knees and my mum's family have a lot of health problems. Better to get into healthy habits now than to face the consequences later.
- I am sick of looking at other women and thinking, god, if only I looked like her. It's not fair on me or them!
- Because I am 19 and I don't feel comfortable in clothes for people my age. I don't want to wear a bikini this summer, I don't like the way I look in tight clothes or short dresses.
- Because I'd really like my boobs to shrink!!
- Because the lessons I learn here are very important to the rest of my life.
- Because I will study better and work better if I am healthy.
- Because I'd want to be able to survive if I fell into a fantasy novel.
- Because I hate being sick.
But mostly, because I am not happy with where I am now.

One of our users just notified us that our web application works very well through Safari on the iPad (or whatever the default browser is -- I assume Safari). The only thing that doesn't work is the file upload part.
Our web application enables our users to attach files in various parts of the system.
I was thinking about this. The iPhone takes pictures, but doesn't really give me the ability to upload them via a standard web interface (where you click a button, choose a file, upload the file, etc).
Is this even possible? Or is the only way to upload files from an iPhone/iPad via a custom app written for the device?
Is there a way to upload a file on an iPad via the web browser?

Putting the politics of it aside, it's hard to argue that the transition Chrysler has made since its government bailout and purchase by Fiat -- which will take full ownership of one of the three American automotive icons this month -- has not been worth it.
The company has upgraded its entire portfolio with models that no longer can be dismissed casually has "not good enough" for discriminating tastes.
No matter what kind of vehicle you are shopping for, Chrysler has something in its lineup that is worth a look.
That includes the Dodge Journey, a crossover/SUV that checks in as a smaller option to the company's midsize-to-large Durango but still offers capable storage capacity and, for growing families, the option of a third-row seat.
The Journey was targeted for its shortcomings when it came to comparing it to its immediate rivals -- i.e., lack of engine oomph, less than adequate storage, cheap interior materials, to name a few -- when it was introduced for the 2009 model year.
Those criticisms no longer hold true.
The Journey has evolved into a very comfortable vehicle to drive or ride in with the 3.6-liter V6 engine offering 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque without compromising on fuel economy (17 miles-per-gallon around town, 25 high with front-wheel drive, 16/24 with all-wheel drive).
The third-row of seats -- which are best suited for children -- leave 10.7 cubic feet of storage space behind them and when folded boost that capacity up to 37.0 cubic feet. Fold both the second and third rows and you get 67.6 cubic feet to pack stuff in.
That's not the most offered in the segment, but it's not the smallest capacity either.
And the Journey's interior has been upgraded with controls arranged in a very friendly-to-use manner. Many of the functions operate off a plainly marked, good-size touch-screen monitor in the middle of the center stack. The air conditioner/heater works off knobs below it.
For 2014, the Journey comes in AVP (American Value Package), SE, SXT, Limited, and R/T trim levels with the Limited replacing what was the "Crew" trim in past models.
A 2.4-liter, inline four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission is standard in AVP, SE, and SXT trims with a 3.6-liter V6 as an option in the SXT and standard in Limited and R/T trim. The V6 comes with a six-speed automatic with manual gear selection capability.
Fuel economy in the I-4, naturally, is better than that in the V6, but the figures of 19/26 are not that much an improvement than what you get with the bigger engine, and the compromise in power (173 hp and 166 lb.-ft. of torque for the I-4, around 100 less hp and torque than in the V6) is not worth the savings in gas.
Of course, the upfront costs are greater for the V6.
You can get into the base AVP for around $20,000, depending on your negotiating skills, while the top-of-the-line models approach a starting point of around $29,000.
With such equipment as Sirius Satellite radio, a premium sound system, leather seats, and halogen headlights standard on most of the upper trims and optional or not even available on the others, the higher MSRP may offer a better bargain in the long run, however.
For a look at the Dodge Journey and more information, check out the accompanying slide show.

This guide places all the basics of open source in context to help you get started in the most wide-ranging, growing, and dynamic field of software development today. The developerWorks Open source zone is your source for how-to information, tools, and project updates to help you develop with open source technologies and use them with IBM® products. Topic areas include Eclipse, Apache Derby, Apache Geronimo, scripting languages such as PHP, Python, and Perl, as well as broader discussions on open source licensing and open source development.
What is open source technology?
In a word, open source is collaboration. More specifically, it's public collaboration on a software project. IBM has committed to open source in a big way with contributions to more than 120 projects, including more than $1 billion in Linux® development. According to the Open Source Initiative (OSI), it can be defined this way: "Open source promotes software reliability and quality by supporting independent peer review and rapid evolution of source code. To be OSI certified, the software must be distributed under a license that guarantees the right to read, redistribute, modify, and use the software freely."
Open source can also apply to the popular movement of individuals, organizations, and companies that seek to put such software into mainstream usage. According to the Open Source Initiative, open source consists of 10 points, which are reproduced below. Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open source software must comply with the following criteria:
1. Free redistribution
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.
2. Source code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.
3. Derived works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
4. Integrity of the author's source code
The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software.
5. No discrimination against persons or groups
The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
6. No discrimination against fields of endeavor
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
7. Distribution of license
The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.
8. License must not be specific to a product
The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's being part of a particular software distribution. If the program is extracted from that distribution and used or distributed within the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original software distribution.
9. License must not restrict other software
The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open source software.
10. License must be technology-neutral
No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface.
See the developerWorks articles "Open source licensing, Part 1: The intent" and "Open source licensing, Part 2: Academic v. reciprocal" for additional information.
Also, be sure to check out the white paper, "Integrating Open Source into your business" for more information about open source and open computing, the benefits and challenges of open source, and how to integrate open source into your IT strategy.
Why is open source technology important?
The initial attraction that most computer users have to open source software is the price. Open source programs are often given away by the author. However, zero out-of-pocket cost is not an intrinsic quality of open source software.
There is a pragmatic and philosophical argument favoring open source development:
- Open source programs allow a developer to look at the code, see if it can be improved, and use it in a program of their own. Contributors from around the world can contribute and offer translations, documentation, bug reports, and help in other forms. A free exchange of ideas speeds innovation.
- According to the GNU Manifesto, people have a moral right to the human-readable form of a computer program.
What is FOSS?
FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software. This term is used for software that satisfies either the definition in free or the definition in open source, when there is no need to make a distinction.
What does open source have to do with "free beer" and "free speech"?
The English word "free" is tricky in that it can mean either freedom or gratis, as in no-cost to the taker. When open source proponents get up on their soapboxes, they often have to preface their remarks so the listener knows if the speaker is referring to "free" as in "free speech," which is a matter of policy, or "free" as in "free beer." As any college student can report, someone needs to bear the cost of creating the beer (or software) while others consume the beer (or software) and enjoy it with no out-of-pocket costs.
How may I get started with open source?
The decision to start developing open source software is a political and licensing decision and less so one of technology. See the OSI list of approved open source licenses and make your selection according to your needs and plans for your project. See the developerWorks articles "Open source licensing, Part 1: The intent" and "Open source licensing, Part 2: Academic v. reciprocal" for additional information. You may want to consult with an attorney specializing in intellectual property if you find the terms of the existing licenses confusing or if you have questions.
In early 2005, open source license luminaries predicted the community would see fewer open source licenses, although it's unclear if that prediction is more of a hope than an expectation.
What is LAMP?
LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. However, depending on who you talk to, the P can stand for Perl or Python. In general, P is assumed to be PHP. LAMP has a bigger meaning, too. LAMP represents a nonproprietary, flexible way to create a server-based application. Each of the programs comprising the term can be replaced with an alternative that best suits the needs of the application. Each component can be upgraded independently, although this is usually done with care and planning. Best of all, each program in LAMP is free, or almost free in both meanings of the word.
developerWorks offers excellent articles and tutorials on Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Python, and Perl.
What language is open source written in?
All of them. The technology behind open source is not the most important element of open source. The important element is the decision of the author or authors to release the software as open source and use one of the many open source licenses.
Is open source software legal?
Yes, and almost everyone who uses e-mail or surfs the Web is an open source software user. Most e-mail passes through an open source server during its travels across the Internet. Most Web servers rely on open source software. Google is based on open source. As OSI points out, the running gears of the Internet, including the mail transports, Web and FTP servers, are virtually all open source-based.
Open source software is not warez, which is software distributed without permission of the copyright holders or a proper license.
What are IBM's open source efforts?
In a nutshell, IBM is a significant force supporting open source innovation and collaboration. The company participates in more than 120 collaborative projects contributed to the open source community, including Eclipse, Apache Derby, and Apache Geronimo. IBM is also contributing to Apache Tuscany and Apache Harmony.
Does IBM have an open source license?
Yes, the Common Public License. See Common Public License (CPL) Frequently asked questions for background information on the CPL.

Sources have indicated to us that Adam Carr is on his way to Syracuse to help bolster the Chiefs bullpen while Colin Balester remains with the parent club. Carr has a 6-1 mark with five saves a 3.04 ERA this season with Harrisburg with 48 strikeouts in 50⅓ innings. He was also named to the 2010 Eastern League All-Star game, in which he struck out the only batter he faced.
Carr was an 18th-round draft pick out of the University of Oklahoma Oklahoma State in the June 2006 First-Year Player Draft. He has a career record of 19-17 with 35 saves and a 4.44 ERA, as well as a .288BA with 3HRs in 71PAs (most at the GCL in '06).
UPDATE: Per NFA, Brad Peacock and Josh Johnson have been sent up to Harrisburg, with Francisco "Watch Out Behind First Base" Soriano coming up from Hagerstown and Jimmy Barthmaier coming up from the GCL.
UPDATE #2: Replacing Soriano on the Hagerstown roster is Rick Hague, who will bat second as the DH in game one of today's doubleheader, according to the Suns twitter feed
7 Responses to "Carr Promoted to Syracuse"
Okay, time to explain.
Speaking of AFL, who do you think goes? Our AA guys (Espinosa, Marrero) went last year. MaybeNorris again? Burgess? Lombardozzi? Moore?
Thanks Sue. It would be real good to see Moore keep it going. If he does, those are the stories that make this so much fun.
Carr's alma mater was actually Oklahoma State where he was a power-hitting first baseman. I believe he only pitched a handful of innings in his career at OSU.
