- NRA Releases iPhone Shooter Game One Month After Sandy Hook – now, you might think that I'm posting this because I oppose the right to own a gun legally, but the truth is I'm actually posting this solely because of the hypocrisy of the NRA to blame video game violence after Sandy Hook and then do this. I didn't grow up around guns and don't feel I'm well-informed enough to honestly weigh-in, but releasing a video game like this is akin to doing a talk on how fatty foods are bad for your body and then treating the audience to french fries.

Local Businesses Take on Big-Box Retailers
Independent We Stand , a nationwide movement encouraging consumers to shop local, is partnering with American Express for the second year to promote Small Business Saturday.
"I think it's fantastic," says Independent We Stand's project manager Bill Brunelle. "We are encouraging every one of our 88,000 small-business members to participate. It's a huge media event and it does an excellent job at reminding consumers about the importance of supporting local, small businesses."
However, the goal of the initiative is to make local businesses part of Americans' shopping plans every day of the year. Forty-six percent of respondents plan to create coupons or discounts on a future purchase that day.
A majority of survey respondents say the initiative could be even bigger if more communities came together and hosted events around their small businesses.
"My hope for Small Business Saturday is that ... it becomes a sustainable day

Retired New York Yankee, Mariano Rivera, is renovating a New York area church for his wife's ministry.
The always humble and modest Rivera, now 44, has been working on the project quietly, declining to speak about it in advance of the opening.
"You don't do it to be recognized," he said. "You do it because it comes from the heart. You want to please the Lord."
Rivera, who has always credited the Lord for his baseball talent, through his foundation, has poured about $3 million into restoring the 107-year-old church for Refugio de Esperanza, or Refuge of Hope, the Pentecostal Christian congregation led by his wife, Clara.
The Rivera home had been the meeting place for the growing congregation, Rivera told New York Magazine last year, "We only fit like 50 people, 60 people tops."
"We have whites, we have blacks, we have Hispanics," he said. "We have all kinds. It doesn't matter. As long as you love Christ, we in it. And if you don't love him, we will work with you so we put you on the right path."
Brandon Steiner, business partner to Rivera said he's never seen Rivera so focused on a project.
"He was like the general contractor," Steiner said, laughing. "He was in there directing painters."
On Monday, the retired pitcher became recipient of the Jackie Robinson Foundation Humanitarian Award.
The newly renovated church is scheduled to open it's doors today.

The jury in the Mark Duenas murder retrial has begun deliberations.
Mark Duenas is accused of stabbing his wife, Karen Duenas of nearly 33 years, to death in their Cottonwood home in May 2012.
On Thursday the jury heard the last of closing arguments.
Defense attorney, Ron Powell finished where he left off from yesterday.
He continued to present the argument law enforcement treated the case as a puzzle that they wanted to create, picking and choosing pieces they wanted to fit.
One of those pieces, time.
Mark's son was at the movies when prosecutors allege Mark killed Karen.
Powell questioned how mark knew he would have the time to commit the murder, and shower before his son returned.
"How would he know when Casey would be home?"
"How did he know his son would even get into the movie?"questioned Powell.
Powell addressed Mark's relationship with another woman, Annettee Green, who lives in Idaho.
The two were friends in the 1970s.
Powell called it simply an escape to simpler times.
He said it was never physical, at one point Mark even telling told Annette ,"I need to be a better husband."
Powell said Mark also told Annette, "I love my wife."
"This was not an out of control, passionate relationship," said Powell.
"There was never any evidence of divorce."
In a rebuttal, Shasta County Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett argued law enforcement canvassed the neighborhood before naming Mark as a "person of interest"
"This was anything but a snap decision," said Bridgett.
Multiple times throughout her argument Mark could be seen shaking his head.
Bridgett touched on that 911 call again where law enforcement claims Mark admits to killing his wife.
She said in jailhouse calls Mark made, he claimed the voice on the call did say "I killed my wife, sh-t."
The defense maintains it really says "I found my wife sick."
Bridgett said the fact the couple was also seen in public earlier in the day was also part of a front they put on for people.
The jury will continue deliberations Friday morning.

I have a program which I need to install on top of Windows 8. Trouble is, the program makes changes to a few files which make another program not work, chances are that registry settings are involved, too.
So here's my situation - I need to figure out exactly which files and registry entries are modified compared to a system which doesn't have it installed. Basically my idea is to use VMWare. install first program, clone that VMWare, install second program and then get the diff for the two systems and find out which files have been modified/added.
How can i do that? File system diffs as far as I can find, have been made either for only a few files, or for linux.
Ideas are welcome, as both programs are imperative for our work.
If nothing else works, I'm even willing to go as far as write the entire diff program myself, but that might take a few weeks with the amount of spare time, or lack, thereof, I have.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 4, Part 4, Chapter 13 Summary
- Now we know about Pierre's inner life. What about his outer life?
- He's become a really pleasant person to be around, mostly because he's suddenly become a good listener and interested in people. Yes, that's right, the secret to being well liked is to a be rich and listen to what other people are saying.
- Pierre now chats up everyone, from his peers to his servants, and pays close attention to their stories.
- Everyone is pleased with Pierre: his dependent (the princess his father was taking care of), the doctor, an Italian soldier, his valets…
- In short, what's happened is that Pierre is now a master of empathy.
- Shmoop brain snack on the difference between empathy and sympathy. Sympathy is when you feel bad for someone else. ("Oh, too bad that thing happened to you.") You are watching someone else suffering and feeling pity for them. Empathy is a whole different ballgame. It's when you can actually imagine yourself in someone else's shoes, feel his emotions, and share his point of view. ("I'm sorry I did that thing and can really see how angry with me you must be right now.") You are watching someone else's feelings and seeing life through their eyes. Empathy is much harder to learn than sympathy, and much more useful in relationships.
- Another change in Pierre is that he's suddenly comfortable enough in his own skin to make money decisions. He pays off his dead wife's debts without stressing over the decision or questioning himself.
- Now that he's feeling better, he goes off to Moscow.

Frankel retires unbeaten after Ascot victory
08:42 22 October 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Horse Talk: Top horse-racing tips and the latest news
Frankel was retired on Saturday amongst emotional scenes at Ascot after extending his unbeaten run to 14 races when winning the £1.3million QIPCO Champion Stakes.
Frankel, the highest rated racehorse in the world, had minutes earlier passed his toughest test when landing the feature race on unsuitable ground from last year's winner Cirrus Des Aigles, the second best on official ratings.
The Sir Henry Cecil trained superstar looked to have it all to do when he fluffed the start but quickly recovered to lie fourth of the six strong field after three furlongs.
He continued his progress and challenged two furlongs out before being shaken up by jockey Tom Queally to assert inside the last furlong in what his owner Prince Khalid Abdulla later confirmed would be his last racecourse appearance.
"He didn't like the crowd and he was sort of labouring in the ground. But he was very relaxed," Sir Henry said.
"I have enjoyed it all (training Frankel). He is the best I've ever had, the best I've ever seen. I'd be very surprised if there has ever been a better."
Queally, who has ridden Frankel in all of his 14 victories said: "These were not ideal conditions but he still proved what a champion he is.
"I'm just so proud to have been associated with him. To have had this opportunity has been a million to one shot. It's been an amazing journey."

Milan Tourist Attractions Guide
Hours:7.00 to 18.45
Address:Cathedral Square
Price:€10 elevator, €6 stairs (family/group ticket discounts)
The Milan cathedral is one of most recognizable landmarks of Italy and Milan, of course. Just by looking at the picture one can notice its greateness and outstanding decoration work. Many would be surprised hearing that it took about six centuries to finish its construction.
Piazza Mercanti is a central city square. It is located between the two other important squares. Cathedral square which could be considered as another central square and the Cordusio square. Piazza Mercanti lived its most glorious days in the Middle ages when it was the real city centre. There are many important historical monuments that are build on the edges of the square.
Hours:7.00-18.00 (winter) | 7.00-19.00 (summer)
Price:€ 3
Even though this palace mostly serves as a museum it used to be the homo of the Milan dukes. The original building was first completed by Galeazzo il Visonti in the second half of the 14th century. It was later altered by his successors. They converted the fortress into a palace which was then used as a residence.
This is really a large park in the city that spreads on an anrea of about 386,000 square meters. The park was established during the Napoleonic Empire, more exactly in 1888. Another speciality of the park is its location. It is located bwterrn the Sforza Casle and the Arch of Piece.
Hours:Mon-Fri:7:00am - 12:00am, 3:00pm - 7:00pm Sat-Sun: 7:15am - 12:15pm, 3:30pm - 9:00pm
This church built during the Renissance period is really special. It is not only the beautiful church that attracts so many visitors but also the Dominican monastery and the Da Vinci´s masterpiece ´Last Supper´ within the church.
These Roman ruins, in fact ruins of roman pillars are located right in fron to the Basilica of San Lorenzo. These pillars date back to the 2nd century AD and pertained to Roman temple. They were somehow moved from their previous location durinf the 4th century.

" While spring is a season for new floral dresses, pedicures, and sandals, it's also traditionally known for something else: closet cleaning. In our spring cleaning series, we tackle the ins and outs of making way for the new.
Corri McFadden is the founder of eDrop-Off, a luxury consignment service that's made a business (and a big one, at that) out of selling other people's fashion cast-offs on eBay. After eight years in the business -- and a staggering 96 percent sell-through rate -- it's fair to say she's an expert at both closet cleaning and eBay selling.
Here's how eDrop-Off works: You can either bring the goods you'd like to consign (fashion and accessories) to the service's two physical locations in Chicago; or you can register through the web site to talk through your goods, and then eDrop-Off will arrange free UPS pick-up for your items -- all you have to do is box them up. McFadden's team will then photograph, list, and sell your goods on the massive marketplace that is eBay -- all for a 40 percent commission "

Geode String Art
So excited for today's project! I have caught the crystal fever, not the kind where you become so obsessed that you blow millions on them like our good friends Speidi (did you know that they are still married?!) but obsessed enough that I want the design everywhere.
Finding affordable, inspiring art for your house is somewhere that a lot of people (myself included) come up short. It seems like time and again you have the option of unique and inventive art that is uber pricey. Or boring and well…boring and is readily available.
Creating art for your house with elements that inspire YOU, is one of the best ways to build your creativity. And the good news? Its not permanent, so if you have rapidly changing design hormones, you can change it up as often as you need.
Supplies for this Geode String Art project cost a meager $1.59. That is what I spent on a roll of Embroidery Thread. Everything else I had on hand. Sometimes great art does not have to be expensive.
When you are rockin a project like this, you want to make sure that you are using really thick high quality paper. I used Watercolor paper because it is what I had on hand and I am mildly obsessed with the texture. If you want though, you can totally use poster board, foam core, or even fabric.
Start by finding an image that you love. This is mine. (Thanks Jamie!!)
Notice that there are only a few points that all of the lines meet. This is what gives it the crystal structure design. If your lines are all over the place with no rhyme or reason, it just doesn't have the same effect.
Start by marking where your intersection points are. It doesn't have to be perfect, you can absolutely free hand it.
Poke a small hole in each of your marks with your needle and then start threading your design.
Make sure that the thread only crosses each line on the front once, you can overlap as many times as you need to on the back of your project, but keep the front beautiful.
This is a great project to do while you are catching up on, oh…something like Breaking Bad for instance. I am only on Season 3 and everyone in my life is telling me to hurry and watch it so we can discuss.
Now for the REALLY good part.
Have you ever fallen down the blogging rabbit hole? You know where you click somewhere and it takes you somewhere else, and then that takes you somewhere else and so on, until your kids are screaming at you because they are starving? I know that personally, I have gotten into the habit of living in the DIY bubble and don't regularly read blogs outside of this niche. Everyone that I chatted with about this phenom is in the same boat. So one night (really really late) I got to thinking. I was thinking about all of these amazingly talented people that are queens of their own respective niches and how much I loved what they were doing. And how people just didnt know. Then it hit me like a wall of bricks (rainbow of course)
What if everyone came together with a common element?
An element like color.
Introducing the quarterly Color Challenge. Dun dun dun duuuuun!! 7 amazing bloggers working their respective magic with one specific color. Then it is all prettied up and delivered right to your keyboard. Everything from parties (Studio DIY) to makeup (Maskcara), and cookies (Bake at 350) to kids crafts (Small Fry). And of course fashion (Cara Loren) to furniture (yours truly) to organizing (iHeart Organizing).
I am so excited about it I cant even contain myself.
It is like Christmas with a big fat pink bow. Pink because it is the color for this quarter. More specifically Hot Pink. Hope you guys find inspiration for every aspect of your life.
Oh, and please enjoy the rabbit hole. You have my permission to not do laundry today.

He folks, I know some of you carry a single action revolver as personal protection. I am trying to find a good concealment holster to carry my new Uberti Cattleman. I am trying to find a black pancake holster. Leather or nylon, it doesn't matter to me.
How do you carry yours and where can I get a good concealment holster?

The bridesmaids and bride-to-be went shopping for shoes this weekend, and I learned we have very different preferences when it comes to shoes. The bride would like us to wear the same pairs and would like them to be some combination of green/white/black. The wedding colors are lime green and black. We are wearing simple, short, strapless black dresses. We all agree we don't want the shoes to be boring, but I guess we have different definitions of boring. We will be in them for about half the day unless we bring something to change into at the reception (I am!). I'm definitely the most sensible of the group. It would be nice to find something under $50, but that might be difficult. Any suggestions? Thank you! Krista"
Krista, as you can see, there aren't a whole lot of lime green shoes out there - #'s 1-4 are the only cute, non-stripper-y ones we could find. Your other option is to buy dyeable shoes and have them custom tinted to the desired shade. Enjoy, and let us know how we did!

Project Status: Current
ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of human clinical research studies hosted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, through its National Library of Medicine (NLM), in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Studies listed in the database are conducted in all 50 U.S. states and in 174 countries. The purpose of ClinicalTrials.gov is to provide a central resource for those seeking information on individual clinical research projects and to increase visibility of human subjects' research.
Federal law requires the registration of all trials of drugs and biologics, including controlled, clinical investigations other than phase I investigations of a product subject to FDA regulation, and trials of devices, including controlled trials with health outcomes of a product subject to FDA regulation (other than small feasibility studies) and pediatric postmarket surveillance studies. "Applicable clinical trials" generally include interventional studies (with one or more arms) of drugs, biological products, or devices that are subject to FDA regulation, meaning that the trial has one or more sites in the U.S., involves a drug, biologic, or device that is manufactured in the U.S. (or its territories), or is conducted under an investigational new drug application (IND) or investigational device exemption (IDE).
Many doctors and patients think that clinical trials have become too cumbersome and expensive, and may not even be answering the most useful questions. The first step in improving this situation is to evaluate the current state of clinical trials. The ClinicalTrials.gov registry provides information regarding characteristics of past, current, and planned clinical studies to patients, clinicians, and researchers; in addition, registry data are available for bulk download. It's very useful for patients who want to participate in clinical trials because it's searchable by keywords relating to conditions, interventions, study sites, and other parameters. But until now, there hasn't been a good way for researchers to access and analyze this treasure trove of data to learn more about the characteristics—and effectiveness—of clinical trials as a whole. Issues related to data structure, nomenclature, and changes in data collection over time present challenges to the aggregate analysis and interpretation of these data in general and to the analysis of trials according to clinical specialty in particular. Improving usability of these data could enhance the utility of ClinicalTrials.gov as a research resource.
When ClinicalTrials.gov was established by the National Library of Medicine in 2000, registration of trials was voluntary. In 2007, federal legislation was passed that required that most clinical trials in the United States be registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Registration for observational studies is voluntary. The registry requires a summary of each trial and some basic information, such as number of people enrolled, location of the study, type of study, sponsor, and investigator. Initially there was no provision for posting results and adverse effects, but now both are required for certain trials. Currently, there are more than 100,000 trials on the site, and more than 300 are added every day.
This project aimed to create a restructured version of the ClinicalTrials.gov database that analysts could more easily use to study various aspects of clinical trials in the United States, including:
Created AACT (Aggregate Analysis of ClinicalTrials.gov) database
We arranged information from ClinicalTrials.gov into a database that allows researchers and analysts to perform analyses on a study dataset (a group of several studies) and not just within an individual study. AACT is available for download on the CTTI website.
Developed a method of categorizing trials by clinical specialty
We created a method to identify and group the clinical trials by specialty, such as pediatrics, infectious diseases, etc. This makes it easier for researchers to understand what trials have been done in each medical specialty, or to compare trials between specialties—for example, to compare the average number of participants in cardiovascular trials to those in oncology trials.
We began analyzing the clinical trials enterprise using AACT
Our group has already begun using AACT to do research into how clinical trials are conducted in the specialties of cardiology, mental health, and oncology. This research has raised questions about differences in trial size and study design among the specialties.
We produced AACT: a searchable, downloadable, accessible database that analysts can use to do research about clinical trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.
In addition to the AACT database itself, we created a detailed data dictionary providing documentation about the source, coding, and history of variables collected in AACT; a high level data dictionary containing a summary of these variables; and guidelines to consider when planning a statistical analysis of the ClinicalTrials.gov database. These tools help analysts to better interpret their results from AACT. Several papers have been published and presentations given about creating AACT and research performed using AACT, including papers focused on different medical specialties.
The project manager for this project is Sara Calvert. Please send your questions, comments, or feedback regarding AACT or the State of Clinical Trials Project to email@example.com.

Do you want to know what saddens us? Kids these days don't even know what a floppy disk is. (Also, we're saddened by the fact that we just wrote "kids these days," but we digress!) Fortunately, the Deluxe Floppy Disk Pillow ($38) by mymimi will forever smile at us from its place on our guest room armchair. We may have gotten rid of all our floppy disks back in 1999, but we'll always have a soft spot for the forgotten technology of our teen years.

EL DORADO, CALIF. — When she was little, Savannah Lane would play teacher with her younger sister. Because she enjoyed teaching from a young age, she wanted to see what it was like to teach at a school.
During her senior year at EDUHSD Virtual Academy, she taught a third-grade class at Brighton Private School in Folsom through an internship that the academy set up. Over four months, Lane spent several days each week at Brighton, where she taught for 45-minute periods.
On her last day of teaching this year, Lane had students wrap up projects for the book Rules by Cynthia Lord and asked them questions such as, "What was your least favorite part of the book?"
Zoe Mannara answered that her least favorite part was when one of the characters made bad word cards with another character. "He said 'stupid,' and I did not like that; that is just cold."
These types of hands-on experiences are becoming more common as virtual schools recognize that students need to get out in the real world to learn. Virtual schools are taking a fresh look at how to engage students by mixing learning with student interests and real-world experiences.
The Learning
Self-directed learning and learning by experience are where education needs to go, said Sarah Luchs, K-12 program officer for Next Generation Learning Challenges. This type of learning allows students to solve real-world problems and prepares them for life as they master competencies, which include explicit, measurable and transferable learning objectives, according to CompetencyWorks.
In the EDUHSD Virtual Academy, students have the flexibility to mix and match online courses with traditional face-to-face classes and internships in fields they're interested in. They can also take classes at Folsom Lake College and other district high schools.
"We're not just sticking them in clay sculpting because that's what's open," said Aaron Palm, director of educational options and innovations at the dependent charter school in the El Dorado Union High School District. "We're really trying to find out what their passions are."
With a Next Generation Learning Challenges grant, the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS) in New Hampshire is figuring out how to assess students' real-world experiences. By working with advisers, students are creating personalized learning plans that revolve around their interests at New Hampshire's first statewide virtual school for middle and high school students.
These personalized plans allow students to choose how much of their learning to do online and through experiences such as internships, travel, independent learning and opening up a business. Because students own their learning, this approach results in meaningful work.
"We've got to engage them, and one of the best ways to do that is getting out in the world," said Steve Kossakoski, CEO of VLACS.
When they go out into the world, they go deep into a content area and remember what they learn because they're passionate about it, he said. Typically, students have to wait until they enter a doctorate program for this type of experience. But with this program, students can dig deeper in high school.
The Interests
These types of models help serve students who are interested in different things, but aren't being served by traditional schools, said Greg Young, a school design coach with Big Picture Learning and director of experiential learning at VLACS.
"When you really see how students react to these opportunities and what they can do and what they become, it's very profound, it's very powerful to see," Young said.
Traditional school didn't work for Erik Arnold, but the junior who's been riding quarterhorses since he was 3 months old now has a place where he can work with horses and learn at the same time. He started attending EDUHSD Virtual Academy during his sophomore year, and the flexible schedule and an internship with Cedar Springs Arena are helping him pursue his interests.
The EDUHSD Virtual Academy students go through a college and career class where they shadow jobs, take a skills inventory and identify their interests. Students do job shadowing and internships in career fields that interest them to see what they like best.
Students in this class also look at the job growth outlook for 2020 to see which careers could take off and which ones make sense financially. For example, a degree that puts students in $100,000 of debt doesn't make sense for a career field that pays $30,000 a year, said Brenda Vargas, internship coordinator at the EDUHSD Virtual Academy.
The Experience
Every week, Erik spent five hours working with troubled horses, training horses in a round pen and cleaning stalls, among other things. His goal is to eventually open an equine rehab facility for high-end sport horses, and his internship this past spring exposed him to different techniques while working with trainer John.
"He has a totally different way of working with horses and people," Erik said. "He's just really friendly."
Back at Brighton Private School, third-grade teacher Katie Mickela showed Lane how to plan lessons and shared her experiences in different types of schools. This ongoing mentoring relationship allowed Mickela to understand Lane's goals, give her career advice and provide support as she taught in class.
Once her internship was over, Lane demonstrated what she learned at an academy exhibition with other students. In front of the community, students shared their evidence of learning, including products, research papers, presentations and display boards.
At Folsom Lake College this fall, Lane is pursuing her Associate of Arts degree in liberal studies so she can become an elementary school teacher.
"I wanted to see what it was like, and I love it!"

There are multiple locations through out the city, we went to the location on North Wells Street which is also conveniently located next to The Onion's headquarters, which is another friend of mines, favorite reads and had to get a pic with the sign.
The place we jam packed when we arrived for a late breakfast at 11:30 on a Friday morning. Fortunately though, we were seated right away. The place is cute with their vibrant blue, yellow and white theme. Our server quickly brought coffees and strawberry-orange juices. The strawberry-orange juice was fantastic and fresh-squeezed, nothing is more annoying than paying for a glass of orange juice and getting some watery-concentrate mix - this glass was not that and had bits of pulp in the glass!
I knew what I wanted without having to read the menu - Eggs Benedict. The Eggs Benedict was nothing that the online reviews had led up to, ie: "the best eggs benedict ever," "will change your opinion of eggs benedict" and "I live solely for their eggs benedict." Don't get me wrong, the dish was good but it wasn't great. The English muffin was tough to cut through and I had to ask for a heavy duty knife to get the job done. The hollandaise sauce was fantastic along with the egg. The slice of Canadian bacon however was a too thin and got lost in the mix of things - I personally prefer a think slice so that it can be tasted in the combo of flavors. The dish also came with fruit and a generous portion of hash browns that were probably the standout item on the plate.
|My eggs benedict
My friend B. decided on a crepe dish that left her underwhelmed however, my friend A. decided on the Mediterranean omelet which.she raved about, swearing up and down that it was the best thing she'd ever eaten for breakfast.

It is said that the number of rows are scanned is smaller the performance is higher when use Explain to optimize query. So I wonder
- When the EXPLAIN output includes many rows, is there any formula to calculate the total number of rows which is scanned? After searching on internet, it seems the total number of rows is the product of values of all rows in EXPLAIN output. But does it makes sense in case we use UNION?
- Are there another criteria we should combine with 'rows' column in EXPLAIN output to know performance of query? Because if the formula is multiplying all number of rows, there are some cases the time execute the query is faster but the total number of rows is scanned is larger.

Fire Starter: Machine Gun Kelly
Go to one of Machine Gun Kelly's shows and you might find it hard to believe that you're at a rap concert. There's a drummer, Blink-182 covers and shirtless crowd-surfing. But at his core, the Cleveland representative can spit bars with the best of them.
"If you like close your eyes and didn't pay attention to any of the rage going on, you'd be like, 'Yo, this kid is one rapping rap kid,' " MGK told Mixtape Daily of his live show. "It's really hard-core hip-hop; there is no mesh between anything else going on musically. But if you watch the performance and see the fans and open your eyes, it's like a Mötley Crüe concert or something."
Influenced by DMX ("He's my favorite rapper of all time"), Kells began battle-rapping around 2004 while he was still in high school. His passion grew from the corner ciphers to the studio where he would lay tracks for his 2006 mixtape, Stamp of Approval. Back then, the MC who got the Machine Gun part of his moniker because of his rapid-fire raps was just getting his feet wet. In 2010, MGK would drop two tapes, 100 Words and Runnin' and his breakthrough Lace Up.
Rather than build his buzz through the hip-hop blogs like many young rappers do, MGK crafted his fanbase in a more organic fashion. "Since we didn't have the opportunity to be on the blogs and have that presence, we had to take it to the hand-to-hand, which turned out to work in our favor," Kelly said. "I'd honestly say, three-fourths of my fans, I've shook hands with and personally handed them my CD and personally looked them in the eyes and be like, 'Yo, thank you, I really appreciate your support,' rather than just them typing on a keyboard and seeing me that way."
MGK's popularity grew so much that the Cleveland Cavaliers began playing his hometown ode, "Cleveland," in their arena at home games during the 2010-2011 NBA season. Now, MGK is on tour promoting his music and working on his debut album. Kelly didn't have many details to give about the yet-untitled LP, but recently tweeted about a recording session he had with the Madden brothers of rock band Good Charlotte during his L.A. tour stop.
"Benji and Joel from Good Charlotte came over to the house and we vibed really well," Kells recalled. "We went to the studio after the show and we just started listening to this electronic music. We sampled this guy name Skrillex and we made a great song."
With some great rhymes, we're sure!

Today, Americans pause to honor veterans of the armed services. Specifically, the recognition is keyed to the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the precise time in 1918 when Germany signed the armistice agreement with the Allies and the "War to End All Wars" concluded.Men and women have defended American freedoms for more than two centuries, but despite modern medical and psychological advances, there still is much we do not know about the tribulations that veterans and their families face. Within military communities, the magnitude of these challenges varies depending on circumstances of deployment. Fortunately, research by many agencies and organizations is shedding light on these issues. Among those groups is the RAND Corp., a nonprofit research and policy analysis institution that has compiled "Invisible Wounds of War: Psychological and Cognitive Injuries, Their Consequences, and Services to Assist Recovery."
As The Columbian joins in honoring our military veterans, we also present the following findings. More details are at http://veterans.rand.org.
According to a report by RAND's Sarah O. Meadows, "children of currently deployed parents have higher rates of anxiety symptoms than a comparable national sample of same-aged children … Prior studies have shown that, during peacetime, kids from military families do not differ from their nonmilitary peers in terms of mental health and behavioral outcomes, and in some cases, fare better on these outcomes." However: "Deployments are stressful for all families, but a growing body of research suggests that they can be even more stressful for families who are part of the approximately 1.1 million service members who are part of National Guard or Reserve units."
What makes these Guard unit families different? Meadows writes that they "often live far removed from the built-in resources and support systems that are provided to active component families who live on, or near, a military base."
Furthermore, a child of a National Guard or Reserve member "may be the only child in their entire school who has a parent in the military. … (their families) often do not know what to expect when a deployment occurs, nor do they always know where to go for assistance … teachers, pediatricians, psychologists and other service providers in those communities often do not have the military information … needed to support these families."
Among all members of the military, according to the "Invisible Wounds of War" report, "post-traumatic stress disorder, major depression and traumatic brain injury … are often invisible to the eye, remaining invisible to other service members, family members and society in general."
These unseen wounds "affect mood, thoughts, and behavior; yet these wounds often go unrecognized and unacknowledged."
Regarding the Veterans Administration, RAND found that most veterans "expressed satisfaction with VA services." But a study of veterans in New York state revealed "that it was difficult to navigate the existing system of benefits and services across both VA and non-VA providers."
As we have continually editorialized, American veterans have done their part. But other Americans still have plenty of room for improvement when it comes to fulfilling the duty to help veterans and their families deal with their invisible wounds of war. Let us all keep that in mind as federal budget negotiations unfold in coming months.

Your expectation differs from program / system design. What shall we say about that? :-)

You could run cp and/or dd through

With normal files, this can result in either

So, let's write our own poor-man's cp:
This cp will write 2048 byte chunks from file1 to file2. If you just copy regular files, the output will look like that:
I'm running it twice to show you that it doesn't matter if the target file existed before opening it in write mode. As soon as you write to it, its contents get fully overwritten and the file size reflects that.
So, let's try something different: $ sudo ./cp /var/log/syslog /dev/null inFile: /var/log/syslog, outfile: /dev/null Pos: 0, Size: 0 Pos: 2048, Size: 0 Pos: 974, Size: 0
But let's get to your question: What happens if you write to a block device (Caution! Executing this will make all the data on the device unreadable as it destroys the drive's meta information! I've used an old USB drive for this demo)
The block file is simply opened at position 0 and overwritten byte by byte (without touching all the other data).

Dear Friends,
Read below an interesting letter, written by Elder (DR.) J. A. Paine to Elder J. V. Kirkland. Elder Paine was the father of Elder S. A. Paine, and pastored churches in the Dallas/Forth Worth area of Texas in the early part of the 20th century. Elder Kirkland of Fulton KY, was the instigator of the nefarious St. Louis Council which attempted to formulate a headquarters and ruling council for the Primitive Baptists, consolidate all church papers into one, consolidate all local associational meetings into one national association, and make it the church's policy that the (so called) great commission was given to the church as a whole. As can be expected, the council suggestions fell on deaf ears and resulted in Elder Kirkland being disfellowshipped to a large degree among the Primitives. Eventually, he would be preaching for the Missionaries. A sad end to Elder J. V. Kirkland.
The Primitive Monitor--February 1909
Dear Brother Kirkland:-I have been reading your paper ever since I met you at Hollow Rock, in West Tennessee, last summer. I notice you seem to be at a great loss to know why the Baptists have fallen out with you. You also seem much grieved because they have declared against you. Now I wish to say, Brother John, I have ever believed you to be a child of God. I also believe you have been called to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ, which you have in the past done to the perfect satisfaction of the brethren. But you remember, Brother John, "A certain man went from Jerusalem DOWN to Jerico." Notice the text does not say, A certain man started, or desired, or thought of going, but, "went down to Jerico." I have never yet known an Old Baptist to get his admirations centered on Jerico, (from any view point), but what he landed either in the center or suburbs, at least he always goes "down from Jerusalem." It is always delightful sailing, you know, for one to go down grade, but to return it is generally a difficult task. Now my brother, this is where you are at among the "chance fellows." You will just have to suffer on, my brother, until the "Good Samaritan" "on his journey" lifts you out of your miserable environments.
I had ever recognized you as one of our able gifts and often expressed myself that way. But now, I have "somewhat against you" and feel duty bound to tell you just exactly what it is. I will first express to you my objections in the aggregate, and then delineate somewhat.
First, I don't consider you a safe man, a true genuine Primitive Baptist. I think, however, you are reasonably sound in the fundamental doctrine as believed by these people. But I notice you are standing in, with every little "Soft, Sore-head" thing that calls itself a Primitive Baptist church. With such men as Pence, Burnam, Mullins, Bostick, Hall, Scarboroh and the Lord only knows who else. All of these you know, or should know, are individually and collectively the most inveterate enemies the dear Old Baptists ever had. Some of them, as you know, have been excluded from the Old Baptists for twenty or more years, and the remainder, old sore headed, disgruntled, pessimistic, rotten Arminian (to my own knowledge) Missionaries, who are on the warpath because they failed to secure unto themselves a "fat job." Don't you know, that we know, you lived right there in the town of Fulton, with Hall, Scarboroh, & Co? And don't you know, that we know, that J. N. Hall (during his life time) was the most bitter enemy our people ever had in the South? And don't you know that J. A. Scarboroh was a regular Old Baptist hater, and one of the rottenest Arminians I ever met in debate (Campbellites not excepted), knowing less about Baptist doctrine than any man I ever saw, claiming to be a Baptist. And don't you know these fellows were ever and anon dumping their poisonous slang and vituperations on the dear Old Baptists? And if ever you answered them a word I failed to see it. Don't you know that in your report of the Cayce-Penick debate, that you criticized Brother Cayce as much as you did Penick, and eulogized Penick as much as you did Cayce? Now this proves one of three things, viz., that you were either an enemy of Cayce, not a true Baptist, or out of your place, either of which would render (one of your talent) unworthy the confidence of genuine Primitive Baptists. Oh, no, Brother John, we prefer to let our hearts go out in thankfulness to God, for such men as Potter, Cayce, and other battle scarred veterans of the cross, who have gone down to their graves bearing with them the full confidence of their brethren for whom they gave full proof of their unmitigated love, even down to the bitter end, proving that they had fought a good fight and had kept the faith; men who were ever ready to beard the lion in his den, and were never even once suspected (much less accused) of alliance with such men as Hall, Scarboroh, & Co. All this, my brother, you could and should have done. If you had unfurled your colors like these noble men of God, and had been more defensive and less suggestive in those stormy days, you would now have no occasion to be grieving over your deplorable condition. Yes, if you had acted thus, Brother John, instead of trying to compromise with these the greatest enemies the old church has ever had since she took her flight "into the wilderness" from that old dragon, who in diversified forms has been on her track ever since, and would have long since blotted her out (by compromise if no other way) had not God, raised up such men as we have mentioned to defend her divine and sacred rights. But when we ask where you were during the battle cry, "echo answers, where?"
You are wrong, my brother, in attributing your troubles to preacher jealousy. That might be true in a few instances, but not throughout the country. You have been too suggestive and too little defensive. The Old Baptists need no suggestions concerning matters relative to which they have ever agreed, but they need to be defended against this subtle foe, relative to the tenets that have always characterized them as the true church of God.
Now Brother John, as concerning your troubles, I ask, "Is there not a cause?" You will say, Yes; then I think I have given some of them at least.
The Primitive or Old School Baptists cling to the doctrines and practices held by Baptist Churches throughout America at the close of the Revolutionary War. This site is dedicated to providing access to our rich heritage, with both historic and contemporary writings.

Drinking Liberally is a weekly social gathering where progressives talk politics and get to know one another. In Center City Philadelphia, we meet on Tuesday nights at Triumph Brewery's upstairs bar, where there are drink and food specials from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. I hope to see you there!
Triumph Brewery is at 117 Chestnut Street in Old City. It's conveniently SEPTA-accessible via the Market-Frankford El (2nd Street station), all the buses that turn around at or near Penn's Landing (5, 12, 17, 21, 33, 42, 48), and a few other buses that pass nearby (9, 25, 38, 40, 44, 47, 57, 61).
This week's topic: During a cross-country road trip in 1993, I happened to be driving through Denver when the newly formed Colorado Rockies baseball team was in town. My traveling companion and I decided to stop at Mile High Stadium to watch the game. I still have the cap I bought at the game -- and since it's the only baseball cap I have, I usually wear it whenever I attend anybody's baseball game -- but I probably won't be wearing it this week.

SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: January 16, 2013
Welcome to Wednesday evening everyone. This afternoon, what's supposedly the first full image of the rumored HTC M7 leaked out, though it's worth pointing out that what we're seeing is only a render and not an actual device. Facebook today announced free calling over WiFi or mobile data connections for iPhone, instantly making one of the biggest VOIP providers around. We heard a bit about the Galaxy Note III today, with rumors saying that it will come equipped with a 6.3-inch screen and Samsung's new Exynos 5 Octa CPU, while Apple and Amazon have been ordered to meet over their App Store case.

A term given to someone who has come to accept God, and has been reborn, or "born again", in spirit.
In many denominations, being born again is often shown through a baptism.
The term "born again" is found in the KJV of the Bible. In other versions it is often read as "born from above".

Disney Princesses Enter 'Brave' New World
"I'm not allowing princess stuff in my house," a friend with a young daughter recently confided. "We're just not going to do 'the princess thing.' No offense."
The "no offense" was added because according to my friend I've been complicit in 'the princess thing,' an allegedly toxic malady that's sweeping our nation. I've written not one but sixteen books about a young girl who discovers that she is the heir to the throne of a small European principality (to which she then introduces democracy). Two feature films, directed by Garry Marshall and starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews, were based on the characters in these books. I didn't introduce Kate Middleton to Prince William, but I think my friend blames me for their wedding, too.
My friend has a lot in common with fiery-haired Princess Merida, the heroine of Disney's newest Pixar-produced release, "Brave." Merida is fiercely against anything "princessy"— including marrying a prince . . . so much so that she slips her mother a magic cake, purchased from a witch, in the hopes that it will change her mother's mind on the subject, and thus her own destiny.
The cake does the trick, but in ways Merida never intended.
I don't know why some people are so against princesses. Rumor had it that Disney changed the title of their last princess-themed film, "Tangled," from "Rapunzel" because it was thought that their princess outing before that, "The Princess and the Frog," would have performed better if it hadn't had the word "princess" in the title, since no one's little brother can be dragged to anything with "that word" in the title. "Tangled" went on to gross $200,821,936 domestically ("The Princess and the Frog" earned only $104,400,899).
"Brave's" domestic box total after only three days of release was $75,272,765, so perhaps Disney (and Pixar) are onto something.
What my friend dislikes most about "the princess thing" (besides the merchandising) is the princes: "I don't want my kid growing up to think some prince is going to come and rescue her," she often gripes.
In Disney movies of old such as "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Sleeping Beauty," of course the princes did do the rescuing, and the princesses do not aspire to much other than marrying, nor do they possess many abilities beyond singing and cleaning. But princesses have been doing their own rescuing (and aspiring to much more than marrying and cleaning) for some time. Princess Leia from "Star Wars" (circa 1977) was my Princess Merida. She used her position as a senator to fight the evil empire, but she could also shoot a laser gun (Princess Merida's weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, but she learns from her mother that diplomacy can work even better). Tiana from "The Princess and the Frog" aspires to open her own restaurant, and the "prince" in "Tangled" is a wanted felon who is rescued by Rapunzel (who can heal with her hair and also swings a mean frying pan).
Perhaps 'the princess thing' is so bothersome to some because they were not privy to the advice on princesses I received early on. I recall a period of time when I was my friend's daughter's age (five) and became fond of dressing like a princess (sadly princess merchandise was not available in the seventies, so I was reduced to wearing one of my mother's nighties), then standing on a chair and doing the dishes (unasked) in a put-upon fashion, pretending I was Cinderella.
My mother did not become alarmed. Instead, during a break from my busy dish-doing schedule, Mom gently informed me that those princesses I'd seen on "The Wonderful World of Disney" weren't real. There were real life princesses, however, and they did not rely on other people to rescue them. In a speech that would prove weirdly prophetic, considering what the queen and Merida come to learn in "Brave," my mother pointed out that princesses are expected not only to learn to sew and clean and protect themselves, but also to go to college, stand up for the things they believed in, and support the people they rule, never letting the bad guys win.
But, she added, I was perfectly welcome to pretend to be Cinderella anytime I wanted. In fact, she said, she encouraged me to stretch my imagination as far as it could go.
So I did.
Maybe that's why I'll always be a supporter of the princess thing. Anything that stretches the imagination of little girls (and boys) is more than all right by me. No offense.

The crux of Theros block's plot revolves around a mortal - Xenagos, the Reveler, the ambitious Satyr planeswalker, becoming divine, and threatening to bring down an entire pantheon. Heliod conscripts Elspeth to stop him, and Ajani joins her - and eventually she's successful in saving the plane via an act of Deicide. However, it's not actually made clear whether the death of Xenagos-the-God means the death of Xenagos-the-mortal. Here are the possibilities for what happens to the most charismatic villain of recent Magic history:
- He's gone for good. The card text of Deicide makes it clear in no uncertain terms that whatever God is targeted isn't coming back, and if you subscribe to the interpretation that Xenagos was wholly turned into Nyx-essence by the Great Revel, then there's nothing left of him after he takes Godsend to the heart.
- His divinity is gone, but he lives to plot another day. Xenagos getting away as a weakened but still living planeswalker means Elspeth has won an important victory, and finally managed to hold onto a plane she now can call home, but also sets up another recurring villainous planeswalker. It seems the Creative team has learned its lesson about killing popular planeswalkers after one appearance thanks to the ongoing grief over Venser's death. Xenagos would make an interesting addition to Magic's own Rogues' Gallery, having distinctly different motivations than the calculating Nicol Bolas and the frankly unfathomably inhuman Phyrexians and Eldrazi.
- He's humbled and reforms. To end the story of Theros on a truly upbeat note, something that's few and far between in Magic storylines (even the return of Avacyn to Innistrad had bittersweet elements for Garruk, to name one), perhaps the titanic battle with Elspeth might convince the jaded Xenagos - who truly believes the other Gods are horrible tyrants - of the misguidedness of his mission, and he'll start planeswalking in the name of liberation.
All in all, we'll get an answer by the time the third part of Jenna Helland's block novel Godsend is released.

How do I get my son to "hold it" longer at night?
Ever since my son was potty trained he's been getting up every two hours in the night to go to the bathroom. We've tried cutting back on drinks before bed and taking away his nap so he'd be more tired, but nothing works. How do I get him to 'hold it' longer at night?

Master of Kunqu: Yu Zhenfei
Health secrets of Peking Opera masters
Lao She: Great Master of Language
Tan Xinpei
Kunqu first appeared in the late Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), some 600 years ago, in the lower Yangtze Valley. It was named after its birth place, Kunshan, near the city of Suzhou in today's Jiangsu Province.
The new opera form quickly gained popularity, and by the 16th century, the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it had spread across the country. There are two schools of Kunqu - the Southern Kun, which is prevalent in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and the Northern Kun, prevailing throughout north China.
Yu Zhenfei, born in Songjiang (present-day Shanghai), was the best-known maestro of Kunqu in the first half of the 20th century. His artistry in Kunqu is comparable to that of the famed Mei Lanfang in Peking Opera. Yu Zhenfei himself attributed much of his success to his thorough study and appreciation of classical literature.
Yu began to learn Kunqu at the age of six from his father who was then a Kunqu actor. Yu Zhenfei is not only good at Kunqu but also at Peking Opera, and at the age of 14, he made his debut as Xiaosheng.
In the 1940s, he went to Hong Kong to perform. It was in 1957 that he returned to Shanghai and became the head master of Shanghai Drama School.

No Mythbusting (I Haz a sad)
By user9157252 on Oct 18, 2010
Well, sadly, my Mythbusters caper is not to be. I was so looking forward to it, as it was going to be an awesome one! We were going to blow up a car. Or at least utterly destroy one.
But there are these things called lawyers. And it would seem that they have quashed the idea for fear of someone, somewhere, getting sued.
I hate when that happens. I'll just have to dream up some other scheme.

The format for Saulo's seminar in Virginia Beach will be very similar to the Toledo seminar except that he will be doing gi and no gi. The date is Saturday March 13th. 11am to 1pm will be gi and 130pm to 330pm will be no gi. $80 for 1 or the other, $120 for both gi and no gi.
All are welcome and I would love to have as many guys down as possible. We have plenty of space and I can help find inexpensive places for people to stay need be.
Anyone interested, please give me a call or email me at email@example.com. You can also get to our website by going to www.hybridtrainingcenter.com some people have had trouble with hybridacademy.com. Our address is 3636 VA Beach Blvd, VA Beach, VA 23452. Thanks, hope to see you all there!

Physics Student Journal Club
Last week we met to brainstorm what a Physics Student Journal Club might look like. We decided that we'd give this a try:
- Pick an article
- Accessible (both logistically and content-wise)
- By someone we might cajole into joining our conversations
- Has conclusions that can be critically analyzed (so not just a report about some new cool thing)
- Have teachers commit to having their students read it and contribute to a wiki of sorts to see how others are struggling/thinking about the article.
- Commit a Global Physics Department night to a general conversation about the paper
So here's the plan. We've selected a paper entitled "Optimal pacing for running 400m and 800m track races" by James Reardon (that's the ArXiv link so it's accessible to everyone), who we will reach out to. We'll schedule March 12 for our first try of a meeting.
Physics Student Simulations
We're going to start a new category on our blog site (http://globalphysicsdept.org) to collect student simulations. They'll provide both artifacts (movies, plots, etc) and a description. For this month the prompt is: True or False: electrons released from rest always follow trajectories that follow electric field lines.
Submissions should be emailed to Andy Rundquist (first name dot last name at gmail).
Here's the recording of our meeting.
Join us this week as we host Eric Mazur to talk about his new introductory physics text that is centered around conservation theorems.
