Amazon Android tablet to be shipped in the second half of the year?
Amazon is seemingly getting ready to launch an Android tablet (who doesn't, these days?).
According to DigiTimes, the tablet will be manufactured by Taiwan-based Quanta Computer – not by Samsung, as gdgt reported last month.
It's said that Quanta could start shipping the tablet "as soon as the second half of 2011", so this may hit the market before the end of the year.
For the moment, there are no details on the features of Amazon's tablet. What screen size and resolution will it have? What version of Android? Any cameras? Pre-installed Amazon services? Will it look like a keyboardless Kindle (pictured below)? These question will probably find answers as we get closer to the tablet's launch date.
Quanta makes hardware for lots of other well-known companies, including Apple, Dell, Sony, Research in Motion, LG and HP.

College Hockey:Locked-out Umberger returns to Ohio State as volunteer coach
Former Ohio State forward R.J. Umberger has joined the Buckeyes' staff as a volunteer coach.
Umberger was a three-year letter-winner with OSU from 2000-03 and has played the last seven years in the NHL with Philadelphia and Columbus.
"With the NHL lockout in full force, I am looking forward to being more connected to the Ohio State hockey program once again," Umberger said in a statement. "I'm excited to spend time on the ice with the players keeping myself in shape and hopefully offering any advice and help I can to them."
"Having an alum of R.J.'s stature around our program will be great," added OSU head coach Mark Osiecki. "As an All-American in college, he knows what it takes to be successful at the collegiate level and he has carried that on to a successful professional career. For him to be able to share that with our players will really help their development."
Umberger has skated in 551 career NHL games and has scored 143 goals with 171 assists for 314 points. He was drafted by Vancouver 16th overall in the first round of the 2001 NHL draft.

So, how knowledgeable is the 49ers fanbase as a whole?
Of course, I would say the majority of people who come here to the Webzone are very well up-to-date. And with the amount of media coverage on the Internet, it's VERY easy to keep up with the team.
But if you go into Candlestick and you gauge how kept-up the overall fanbase is, how would you compare it to other franchises?
The reason I ask this is because I'm curious how the fans will react to Alex Smith, Michael Crabtree, Aldon Smith, and the coaching staff.
For instance, most people I talk to don't really LIKE the idea of Alex Smith returning, but they understand it and think it's our best option. Coach Harbaugh has been trying to talk up Alex Smith, but I wonder how he'll be treated when we have our first game. I'm wondering if the boos come out after incompletions... but eh... Winning cures everything, so that should be the easiest way to shut people up.
Michael Crabtree has been slammed this offseason for a perceived lack of participation with the team, but I don't know if the "overall fanbase" has noticed this.
Most up-to-date posters realize that Aldon Smith and a LOT of our draft class is a bit of a raw project, but I wonder if the "overall fanbase" realizes this.
And does our "overall fanbase" realize that Harbaugh and the coaching staff have the cards dealt against them with a shortened offseason? Most people know that the lockout hurts our team, with a rookie coaching staff and QB problems, maybe more than any other team in the league.
I'll just get frustrated if boos come out unnecessarily. I'm excited for the season, but I can see why we could start off slow.

There are many tomes of literature, poetry, walls of art works and libraries full of manuscripts which investigate the intrinsic value and importance, indeed the actuality, of what it is to belong to something, or somewhere. The Maori have adopted these notions deep into their culture, as have nearly all native and indigenous cultures. The story of belonging talks of that welcoming feeling that we have when our spirit feels at rest, and when we aren't at need to fight for our breath.
The Maori culture also transcends its tribes and is diversely and broadly adopted amongst the Kiwi culture as a whole. My favourite expression of this belonging is the idea that one becomes, or belongs to a river, or water. For me, I was drawn to Lake Tekapo, in the South Island's high country.
These images of New Zealand's South Island and in and about Christchurch before the earthquakes are purely photographic in treatment.
Thanks go to my friends, the Kiwi lot.
Thoroughly absorbed by the processes of making images and addicted to binding the stories together for others to experience, Luke (AKA Lucas) Pellatt achieved an Hon in Fine Arts at the Hobart School of Art and has furthered his interests and passion for the photographic arts as modestly as possible.

How to Get Rid of Armadillos
Armadillos can be found worldwide, but if you live in the United States, the kind that you are encountering will be the nine-banded armadillo (formal name Dasypus novemcinctus), which is a grub-eating mammal first spotted in the United States in the 1800s. The Dasypus novemcinctus can grow to around 2 feet (.61 m) in length and typically weighs anywhere from 8 to 17 lbs. (3.64 to 7.73 kilos). They have a hard exoskeleton, typically have poor eyesight, are nocturnal and are burrowers. It is because of that burrowing that they are considered a pest. They can easily tear up a yard, a farm or a garden by digging up the soil with their sharp claws.
1Use natural armadillo control methods.
- Put cayenne pepper around your home, farm or garden. Sprinkle it on the ground, and wait to see if sniffing the pepper up its nose deters the armadillo.
- Purchase a container of predator urine. You can find these at area hunting stores, and one popular product is called Shake-Away.
- Keep outdoor dogs, particularly at night. Both the smell of the dog and the noise that he makes will help deter the offending pests. Outdoor dogs might also chase after the armadillo and prevent it from returning.
2Set live traps to catch armadillos.
- Use large cages and set multiple ones. Set them by burrow openings, and consider putting boards in a "V" shape extending out from them to lure the animal in.
- Bait the traps with nylon stockings full of earthworms.
3Relocate the armadillo by dropping it off as far as possible from your home or property. An ideal location would be near a water source and in a spot that the animal will not bother other families or people.
4Chase after and catch armadillos only if you are wearing proper gloves. This is not an advisable method, but it is an option. Armadillos will bite and scratch (they have long nails) so it is advised to pick them up from the tail end as you attempt to grab hold of them. Once you have caught the animal, place it in a cage and remove by dropping it off far away from your property.
5Hire a professional if the cost of his service falls in line with your home or business budget.
- Check out the list by state of nationwide trapping professionals.
6Use block-out methods such as barricading under your home or other structure after you've rid the armadillos from the area. Or, install fencing that not only extends vertically from the ground up but also fencing that provides a barrier under the ground as well.
Community Q&A
- Note that lethal traps are typically illegal in most states.
- Regardless of the removal method, realize that when armadillos breed, they typically give birth to identical quadruplets. So if you have one armadillo, chances are you have multiple armadillos in your vicinity, and with that many potential animals, hiring professional help may end up being costly.
- There have been reported cases of Mycobacterium leprae, otherwise known as leprosy, from armadillo contact. While most humans are naturally immune, it is estimated that 1 in 6 armadillos carries leprosy, so it is advised not to handle armadillos (or at least do so minimally and wear outdoor leather work gloves) or to eat them.

Would you like to increase your followers, increase your Klout score, or get re-tweeted more often? As the relatively new Twitter saying goes, "Know thine Tweeter." To know how to increase your power on Twitter, a person must know who is most likely to post a tweet.
So, if the internet were a high school yearbook, who would be chosen "Most Likely to Tweet"? Below are some statistics from Pew Reseach that could help "Yearbook" Twitter users.
- 54% of users are female
- 53 % of users have no children
- 41.5% are under 30 (fastest growing group), while 42.3% are 30-49 years of age
- 95% of tweeters have a cell phone, but 60% of users prefer Twitter.com to mobile apps
- 70% of Twitter accounts are outside of the United States, but 61% of tweets are in English
- Additionally, most users are African-American or Hispanic, have a college degree, and make less than $100,000 per year
According to the reseach, the "Most Likely to Tweet" is a college-educated middle-class minority woman, around 30, with no children, who lives outside the United States in an English-speaking country. Know anyone like exactly like that? If you live in the U.S., you probably don't, but some celebrity Twitter users who closely fit the profile are @AngelaSimmons and @AliciaKeys. They are both young, successful African American women using Twitter. (If you find other examples, please post them in the comments below.)
How can this information help the Twitter user in need of followers or re-tweets? Simple. Twitter is a social network, which is built on social interaction. As people tweet, they are interacting. If a person interacts with them, that interaction is broadcast to the followers of both and increases each user's visibility and likelihood of being followed.
In short, follow and interact with people who are busy on Twitter to raise your "profile".
Additional tip: Most tweets are re-tweeted around 5 PM, so try to tweet something good around 4:30 PM every day.

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
Normally I don't push too hard on Facebook likes, but sometimes I get in the mood. This is one of those moods. So, if you are a Facebook user and wanna catch our feed, it's here.
I post lots of stuff on Facebook that I don't get to here, tidbits that I find on subjects political, cultural, and community-based, most often very local. Some days I post more than others, but it's never more than 3-5 items per day on average. Some of my tweets from @leftinlowell.com make it there as well, when I remember to check off the box to send them (I most often tweet from my phone). But often you'll find stuff there that you'll find no where else, like my most recent post on non-chemical agriculture, or sharing an article from Howl about the chicken movement in Lowell. Yes, chickens! If that intrigues you then go hit the LiL FB page.
I also try to remember (with varying success) to post a link when I create a new blog post here, so it can be convenient for knowing when LiL has new content. Jack and Mimi also have admin access to the FB page though they don't use it very often (though, hint hint, feel free to).
If you find something of particular interest, you can always hit the share button on Facebook to publish something of ours into your own feed. We're only as good as the community who spreads the word! And if you like our feed, then share our page with others!
Now, back to your regularly scheduled program. Whatever that was.

Climbing and climbing training, such as the exercises in the WOW, are inherently dangerous activities. Participation in these exercises is done at your own risk. If you have any injuries, we recommend you do not attempt a WOW. If you have any concerns about your abilities or the exercises, consult a qualified medical practitioner or athletic trainer.
Ensure your muscles are properly warmed up. Before training fingers, it is very important to warm up your fingers and tendons slowly and thoroughly. If you don't know how to warm up, consult a fitness trainer.
Proper execution of form is a crucial element to performing any exercise. Please read the instructions carefully and make sure you thoroughly understand the movement being described being before attempting the workout. If you don't understand the exercise be sure to ask a certified personal trainer.
Like many good things, exercise can be dangerous - especially if it's been a while since you've worked up a sweat, or if you have any healh conditions that could increase your risk of injury. It is your responsibility to seek professional instruction and/or medical advice before performing exercises and/or fitness routines. The following information is one way to help avoid potential problems.
If you are planning to increase your physical activity or start an exercise program, begin with answering a few short questions. The PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) is a quick questionnaire that can help rule out any underlying health concerns that could worsen with exercise. Answer yes or no to the following questions:
- Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?
- Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
- In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
- Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
- Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee, or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
- Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
- Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?
If you answer YES to any of the questions on this list, you must check in with your doctor and get cleared for exercise before you start. You can download or print a copy of the official PAR-Q form for your records, courtesy of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP).
Likewise, if you have any chronic medical conditions (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or arthritis) or risk factors (such as smoking or being more than 20 pounds overweight), and have not discussed exercising with your doctor, you should do so before beginning. Exercise is often an important part of the treatment for such conditions, but you may have some limitations or special needs that your doctor can tell you about.
Our equipment spans a wide range. There's enough in our clubs to satisfy everyone from Olympians to someone rehabilitating themselves. Please observe these basic rules:
- Please hold handrails when stepping on or off treadmills, ellipticals, stair climbers, arc trainers, and other equipment.
- Do not get on or off equipment when it's moving.
- Don't hesitate to use the emergency stop buttons or lanyards when using treadmills.
- Always look forward when using equipment that moves. Looking back or to the side throws off your balance.
- Grab the handrails and press the stop button if you feel weak or lose your balance when using treadmills.
- Try to stay centered on all equipment.
- Change the speed of your workout program gradually.
- Always ask a fellow member or one of our fitness trainers to spot you when lifting weights.
- Don't push beyond your abilities.
- Please know that you're always welcome to ask a personal trainer to show you how to use any piece of equipment.
- If you notice that something is out of place, please bring it to our attention and we'll be happy to correct it.

Lady Lazarus
by Sylvia Plath
Lady Lazarus Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
A sort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,
My right foot
A paperweight,
My face a featureless, fine
Jew linen. (4-9)
Here Lady Lazarus compares herself to a Nazi lampshade (that the Nazis supposedly made out of the skin of Jews). There is a serious contrast here—she is "walking," but the Jewish people she's referencing are very much dead. Is she being callous? Or is this an accurate expression of her pain?
Quote #2
What a million filaments.
The peanut-crunching crowd
Shoves in to see
Them unwrap me hand and foot—
The big strip tease. (25-29)
Lady L's suffering isn't just related to the Holocaust. Here, she portrays herself as a circus attraction who has no control as the crowd strips and humiliates her.
Quote #3
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real. (43-47)
Here Lady L gives us a new window into her suffering; she does it "so it feels real." She tries to commit suicide so that she can feel something—it seems like her life has left her numb and void of feeling. Suicide, for her, seems like a way to get that numbness to go away. But at what cost?

In the very early hours of August 9, 1969, actress Sharon Tate was horrifically murdered along with 4 others, in a brutal crime orchestrated by cult leader Charles Manson and carried-out by his followers - a group that came to be known and feared around the world as "the Manson Family."
Sharon Tate, then 26, was poised for stardom and had appeared in several Hollywood films, including "Don't Make Waves" with Tony Curtis, "The Wrecking Crew" with Dean Martin, and the 1967 cult hit "Valley of the Dolls" for which she earned a Golden Globe Nomination. The actress had recently married acclaimed director Roman Polanski, whom she met when he directed her in the 1967 horror spoof "The Fearless Vampire Killers." They were married in Chelsea, London on January 20, 1968 with considerable publicity. Polanski was dressed in what the press described as "Edwardian finery", while Tate was attired in a white mini-dress.
On the evening of August 8, 1969, Tate went to her favorite restaurant, El Coyote, with Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski and Abigail Folger, returning at about 10:30 p.m. to the rented house at 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles' Benedict Canyon, just north of Beverly Hills.
During the night, and at Manson's directive, they were murdered by members of Manson's "family" and their bodies were discovered the following morning by Tate's housekeeper, Winifred Chapman. Police arrived at the scene to find the body of a young man, later identified as Steven Parent, shot dead in his car, which was in the driveway. 18-year-old Parent, had been visiting a friend who worked as the Polanski estate's caretaker and lived in a guest house some distance from the main dwelling. Inside the house, the bodies of Tate and Sebring were found in the living room, a long rope tied around each of their necks connected them. On the front lawn lay the bodies of Frykowski and Folger. All of the victims, except Parent, had been stabbed numerous times. The coroner's report for Tate noted that she had been stabbed sixteen times, and that "five of the wounds were in and of themselves fatal.
Polanski was informed of the murders and quickly returned to Los Angeles where police, unable to determine a motive, questioned him about his wife and friends. On Wednesday, August 13, Tate was interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, California, with her son, Paul Richard Polanski (named posthumously for Polanski's and Tate's fathers).
The gruesome crime, in which the killers scrawled messages on the walls with the victims' own blood, sent Hollywood into a state of panic and fear. The career criminal and cult leader Charles Manson and his followers, who lived together on the outskirts of L.A. in a commune where drug use and orgies were common, were later convicted for the murders.
The Tate-Polanski home reportedly was chosen as a target because Manson had unsuccessfully attempted to get a recording deal from a producer who used to live there. Manson's subsequent trial became a national spectacle, during which he exhibited bizarre and violent behavior. He was convicted and given the death penalty, a sentence that was commuted to life behind bars when the California Supreme Court overturned the death penalty law in 1972. Since his trial, Manson has become a criminal icon and the subject of numerous books and films, notably the bestselling 1974 true crime book Helter Skelter, co-authored by Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles County assistant district attorney who successfully prosecuted Manson and his followers.
Sharon Tate Trivia per IMDB:
Was originally cast in the role of "Billie Jo" on "Petticoat Junction", but she walked away from the show on advice from her manager (Martin Ransohoff). He didn't feel it was a good launching pad for her career.
The Barbie Doll "Malibu Barbie" was created based on Sharon Tate's character in "Don't Make Waves".
Drove a 1967 red Ferrari with tags # VMP659.
In 1959 she was the winner of 5 different beauty pageants: Miss Frontier Days, Miss Richland, Miss Tri-Cities, Miss Water Follies, and Miss Auto-Rama.
Sharon became close friends with her "Valley of the Dolls" costars, Patty Duke and Barbara Parkins. Parkins later served as Sharon's Maid of Honor when she married Roman Polanski in 1968.
Last book she read was Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" which she convinced Roman Polanski would make a great film one day. Polanski's film "Tess" is dedicated simply "For Sharon".
Her character, 'Freya Carlson', in "The Wrecking Crew" was the inspiration for 'Felicity Shagwell' in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me".
Was a friend of actresses Julie Christie, Jacqueline Bisset and Mia Farrow
The house at 10050 Cielo Drive, rented by Tate and Roman Polanski at the time of the murders, was demolished in 1994. An Italian-style mansion has been erected in its place and the street address has been changed. The new mansion was originally priced at $12.5 million in an attempt to cash in on the locations notoriety but no sale was made

If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday; Then the Lord will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails," (New American Bible, 1991, Wichita, KS: Devore & Sons, Inc.).

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Campbell Jr., Roy (Sinclair)
Campbell Jr., Roy (Sinclair), trumpeter, flugelhorn, flutist, composer, actor; b. Los Angeles, CA, 29 September 1952. His mother, Erna Arene Forte-Campbell, (b. 4/18/27, New York) was not a musician but his father, Roy Sinclair Campbell, Sr. (b. 6/12/15, New York) used to play trumpet and tenor saxophone, playing with George Hudson's band and local bands in the Midwest, and when he was in California in the early '50's, with Ornette Coleman, Art and Addison Farmer, and others. He stopped playing in the mid-50's. Roy's sister is Valerie Gladys Campbess (b. 6/14/56).
A Mr. Gueriero taught Roy violin in Olinville Junior High School (9/64-9/67). Then Jazzmobile workshops, 1971-1973, whose teachers included Joe Newman, Lee Morgan, and Kenny Dorham. Also Jazz Interactions workshops, 1971 & 1972, the teachers including Joe Newman and Howard McGhee. Then Manhattan Community College, 1/72-1/75, where he was taught trumpet by Dick Vance and Leonard Goines; Yusef Lateef taught him jazz and music theory, composition, arranging, and world music. Then he went to the Restoration Center where Genghis Nor (1074-6-76) and George Smith (9/76-78) taught him trumpet.
Roy Campbell, Jr. was born in Los Angeles in 1952, and his family moved to the Bronx, New York when he was two years old. Roy's musical journey began that year with piano lessons, initially inspired by his father, whose trumpet was the first one he used. By the time he entered high school, he was playing flute, recorder, and violin as well as trumpet.
As a young fan, Roy met Lee Morgan at the Bronxwood Inn in the late '6O's, and in 1971 Roy began participating in Jazzmobile workshops, working with jazz masters Kenny Dorham, Howard McGhee, and Lee Morgan, as well as with Howard McGhee and Joe Newman in Jazz Interactions workshops. Later, as a trumpet major at Manhattan Community College, his professors were Leonard Goines and Dick Vance, and Roy studied music theory, arranging, and composition with Yusef Lateef, graduating in 1975 with an Associate's Degree in music.
By 1972, Roy was leading his own band, Spectrum; he had just turned 2O. He was also in great demand as a sideman and studio musician. During the time from 1974 to 1976, Roy co-led with Radha Reyes a band called the Spirits of Rhythm, which included, at various times: Omar Hakim, Rodney Jones, Kenny Kirkland, J.T. Lewis, Zane Massey, Cecil McBee, Jr., Andy McCloud, Marcus Miller, Charles Neville (of the Neville Brothers), Ricardo Strobert, Rudy Walker, Kenny Washington, and Bobby Watson.
In 1978, Roy met master bassist William Parker, who invited him to join Jemeel Moondoc's Ensemble Muntu, and this association led to many dates and tours, especially in Europe. Roy's travels and worldwide exposure allowed him to develop an international following in Europe, Japan, the Caribbean Islands, and the USA. He lived in the Netherlands from 199O to 1992, working as a freelance musician and lecturer and holding conservatory workshops. He was the leader of the Thelonious New World Orchestra in Rotterdam for two years; he played with the bands of Ruud Bergamin, Klaas Hekman, and Dennis Winter; he led a Thursday-night jam session in Rotterdam; and he also played as a side man in numerous ensembles. In this period, the Eindhoven and Groningen Festivals commissioned Roy to compose music for brass ensembles. He began writing and arranging music for himself and others, and this expansion represented a new vehicle of expression for a talent that had already been hailed as "awesome."
Roy is an actor and has appeared in independent films and plays. He has performed with dancers including Leena Conquest, Aleta Hayes, K.J. Holmes, Maria Mitchell, Patricia Nicholson Parker, Nayo Takasaki, and others, as well as musical accompaniment for poets Umar bin Hassan (of the Last Poets), Steve Dalachinsky, Shirley LeFlore, Felipe Luciano (of the original Last Poets), David Nelson, Jilal Nazzarudin, and Eve Packer.
In 1988, Roy Campbell, Jr. formed a band named Tazz. The music of Tazz is a reflection of various musical styles, languages, backgrounds, and sources; the band's mission is to break down cultural barriers through a sound that is at once eclectic, progressive, polished, and funky.
Roy Campbell also leads the Pyramid Trio, which he began in 1983 and which includes music of many world cultures with a jazz overtone. In addition, he founded the collective group Other Dimensions in Music, which plays improvised music of all styles. In 1995 he formed Shades and Colors of Trane, a tribute band for master saxophonist John Coltrane, and in 1999 he added the group Downtown Horns.
Roy Campbell, Jr.'s composing, arranging, and playing embrace a wide range of roots and styles, including jazz, funk, rock, rhythm & blues, hip-hop, rap, classical, reggae, and more.
A few of the leading innovators among contemporary musicians Roy has worked with include: Rashied Ali, Billy Bang, Evelyn Blakey, Carlos Garnett, Eddie Harris, Makanda Ken McIntyre, Jemeel Moondoc, David Murray, Sunny Murray, William Parker, Hannibal Marvin Peterson, Sun Ra, Woody Shaw, Cecil Taylor, Charles Tyler, Wilbur Ware, Frank Wright, John Zorn, and a countless host of other bands and ensembles. Roy and his contemporary bands play virtually constantly in concerts, on tour, and in festivals all over the world.
In the year 2OO1, "JazzTimes" designated Roy Campbell's CD "Ethnic Stew and Brew" (Delmark 528) number three of the top 5O jazz CD's of the year. Roy was also nominated trumpeter of the year by the Jazz Journalists' Association in 2OO2.

In a scene reminiscent of Sandra Fluke, the conservative Family Research Council decided that it would not tolerate any talk of sexual harassment, especially over the talk of birth control pills. No, they didn't start another campaign against the 'immoral' use associated with this medication, but instead a senior employee, William Saunders, thought it was okay to talk cute to someone he supervised. In reality, his behavior went beyond "cute."

New York, NY, US
I am currently a graduate student in the M. Arch program at Pratt Institute. I also hold a B.A. in Architecture with a Minor in Structural Engineering from UC Berkeley. I have worked in three different Architecture firms, an engineering firm, and as a freelance designer in the past four years.
During my education and professional experience I have developed strong skills in architectural design and drawing (Autocad, Adobe Master Suite), and proficiency in 3D modeling (Revit, Rhino/Grasshopper, Sketchup, Maya, 3ds Max) and computer rendering(VRay, Mental Ray, Maxwell). I have also worked on interior design and renovation projects where I have been involved in the process of design and execution. My most recent professional experience was working as a 'architectural designer/product developer/digital drafter/ 3D modeler' for Aditazz, a San Bruno based Architecture firm which works mainly on health care projects. Besides my architectural design tasks, I was involved in the R&D team which works on developing software tools that serve the design process through simulation, information management, and design optimization. I also worked on generative design tools which enable integration between the design intent and fabrication techniques and improves the process of assembly.
I am self-motivated and highly organized on individual projects and have the experience of working in intense charrettes and design teams to develop projects of different types, levels, and scales. I have the ability to adapt myself to different work conditions and project types and have developed effective social skills through exposure to multiple client interactions.

I am working on an epidemiological model with disease incidence rate as dependent variable and environmental factors as independent variable. Disease data is available at county scale whereas environmental data is in raster format that can be re-sampled as needed. Scale plays a major role when we talk about modeling as a model may be good at one scale and not so good at the other. For this reason I think conducting sensitivity analysis may be the right option. My question here is how to approach based on the data available for study. Any ideas, links to articles or journals is much appreciated.
Since your disease data is aggregated at the county level, I'd start with exploratory analysis using this aggregation.
Take the polygon boundaries of your counties and create set of variables from zonal statistics tool (R, QGIS, ArcGIS and others can do that for you). Mean/median values would be probably a starting point but min/max values could also be useful.
In the next step, you would have to find a way to build a model linking disease incidence to explanatory variable. Simple descriptive stats and correlations and OLS are good way to start.
At next stage you might want to take into account spatial dependency in your data. Do some ESDA using GeoDa software, R, ArcGIS - smooth the rates for counties with small number of cases, look at global and local indicators of spatial autocorrelation.
If spatial dependency is an issue - next steps would require some serious thinking how to account for that. Geographically weighted regression, multilevel modelling or Bayesian methods (have a look at INLA package) will be your friends here.

HEADLINES : California
Gov. Jerry Brown Vetoes California's Performance-Based Budget Reform
California Governor Jerry Brown wielded his veto pen on a unanimously passed budget reform measure. SB 14, vetoed yesterday by the Governor along with a host of other bills, would have implemented a system of performance-based budgeting in the state.
As defined by the bill, performance-based budgeting is "a system of budgeting that uses information on performance to inform resource allocation decisions, thereby establishing clear accountability." Had the bill been made law, state departments would have been required to submit annual budget requests that contained not only projected expenditures and revenues, but "goals, targeted outcomes and performance data." Spending priorities could then be weighed respectively in terms of their ability to reach desired outcomes. According to the Pew Center on the States, performance-based budgeting is at least partially practiced in 25 states.
Supporters of the measure believed that performance-based budgeting was a catalyst for financial change in the beleaguered state. The bill's sponsor, State Senator Lois Wolk, argued that it would have given "the Governor, Legislature, state agencies, and most importantly, the public, better information on what is working and where change is needed." The bill unanimously passed both houses of the legislature, with support from a broad coalition of business groups, local governments, and labor unions like the Service Employees International Union.
Governor Brown highlighted his reasons for axing the reforms in a veto message, calling it a "siren song of budget reform" that inappropriately inflicts a "one size fits all" approach. According to Brown, the costs of each department developing appropriate goals and performance measurements greatly outweigh the potential benefits. According to Brown, while the approach may work in some instances, in others it would be an expensive waste of time.
Brown closed out his veto message with the promise of a forthcoming Executive Order that will contain a "practical, tailored approach" to make an "actual difference" in the way the state budgets.

We are obsessed with eyelashes. And we're clearly not the only ones considering the loads of lash growth serums we've been seeing as of late. Cilea Eyelash Growth Stimulator ($70) is one of the newest products to hit the market intended for stretching your lashes to their limit. Since you can buy it without a prescription, we can imagine more people are going to sample this over some more exclusive prescription-only varieties. So being the dutiful Outblushers we are, we went calling on this product to see how legit it really was. And right there on the homepage is Real Housewife of Orange County Vicki Gunvalson and the investigation stopped there. Cold in its tracks. Because any product that is endorsed by one of those broads has us...pleading the fifth.
Our mothers did tell us "If you have nothing nice to say, keep your trap shut."

The Cowboys have signed three draft picks, including WR Danny Coyle, a fifth-rounder from Virginia Tech, the club's website said Monday.
The Cowboys also signed Oklahoma TE James Hanna, their sixth-round pick; and LB Caleb McSurdy, a seventh-round pick from Montana.
Dallas has four unsigned draft picks remaining, including first-round CB Morris Claiborne of LSU.
The club also announced the signing of OT Pat McQuistan, who appeared in 10 games as a reserve for New Orleans in 2010. McQuistan, a seventh-round pick of Dallas in 2006, has played for the Cowboys, Dolphins and Saints in six NFL seasons.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 14 February 1820; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18200214-TC-JAC-01; CL 1:227-228.
Edinr14th Feby 1820—
My dear Jack,
After gulping down the Narcotic draught, about which the conclusion of Sandy's letter will give you information, I seize the good old goose-quill-stump once more, to thank you for your sensible & well-written half-sheet; concerning which I had only to regret that it was not a whole one, filled with the observations that you are daily getting more & more ability to express as well as make. I am not tired of your moralising; but pleased, on the contrary, to find that you reflect on those consolations, which the 'various turns of fate below' are still requiring at our hands, and which after all that we can think reduce themselves to patience & contentment, the only remedy for evils great or small. In the main, I approve very highly of your remarks on Hume. The wars of York & Lancaster were bloody indeed, but by weakening the power of our Kings and overturning the great barons, they contributed in no small degree to increase the influence of the commons, & bestow upon England the form of government which has raised her name so high in the annals of nations. I am not surprised that you feel some interest for Mary of Scotland. She was beautiful it is true; but I fear she was at the same time dissolute, imperious, unprincipled. Her beauty was very good for Darnley and Bothwell: but to us poor ugly wights in these latter days it is of small importance. I have been thinking that after concluding Hume, you might like to see the history of Scotland carried down to the same period as that where he leaves off. Malcolm Laing has written an intelligent, hard-headed rough account of the time which elapsed from James first's accession to the English throne (where Robertson concludes) to the union.1 Most likely I can get it for you from the library. But perhaps you will like some relaxation after so stubborn a season of application: in which case I shall try to get you some poetry or light stuff of that nature. I never go near auctions; yet I must endeavour to pick up a small work or two for Alick & you. A creature called Geo: Dalgliesh2 (carrier's son at Annan) would run through fire and water for me; because I sometimes condescend in my sovereign bounty to dictate for him a speech to be said or sung in a kind of society which he frequents. He will lie in wait at auction-rooms (or get [torn] to do it) for Cowper's or Gray's poems or some such thing: you might perhaps see by the last Scotsman that I had perused it before you; and from this fact you would infer that Smith's line was superfluous. In fact I got a letter from Geo: Johnston, some days ago, containing a line which did the business. Mr George on that occasion told me that you were following the Latin; and he spoke of your progress, in terms that would put your modesty to blush if I should repeat them. Continue your studies my boy: and if you feel enough of love for literature, if its sweets will reward you for the bitterness with which they must be gathered; it may happen not to lie without your reach. Should I succeed—And should I fail, it will be pleasing to reflect that a brother is not involved in such calamities. In the meantime learn, with all your might, when you can find a moment's leisure. Your penmanship, I am glad to see, is immensely improved. It wants only practice to make it quite respectable. Do not let it want this.
I could wish to hear from my Father, about the crops and all matters of that sort. I understand, things are not so flourishing with the farmer as they were lately: but the circumstance is matter rather of regret than surprise, for all ranks and classes are afflicted more or less in these disastrous days. You must write to me, in a very circumstantial manner next opportunity; and in the mean time allow me to conclude, for time hastens, and Mag is yet to serve.
Your affectionate Brother, /
Thomas Carlyle.

I have a CentOS 5.5 x64 server setup on a Intel Xeon based machine, For panel, I have installed VirtualMin.
I'm facing a weird network problem, with following symptoms:
- When SSH-ing to the machine, or connecting via VNC it oftens says "connection reset by peer"
- Also sometimes is does connect, but it resets the SSH machine identification (the RSA) everytime.
- Even if sometimes it does connect, the password is not accepted.
1/10 chances I can get into the machine, then it stays like that for a considerable time.
The IP is static, and the router also has the DHCP pool configured so that the IP is not assigned to any other machine.

The Expendables return this August in another major blockbuster. Sylvester Stallone and his crew of action heroes are set to return in The Expendables 3. This time, the group takes on a former Expendables member in the form of Mel Gibson. In order to take on someone who knows all of their moves, the Expendables must recruit new members in order to take on this new threat. The film will certainly feature a lot of action, but there seems to be a major this time around. In a new report today from the MPAA, The Expendables 3 will be rated PG-13.
This may come as a surprise to many moviegoers. In past two outings of The Expendables, the action films have been rated R. The movie series have been known for their action; action so intense that the movie was been to gain that R rating. Now that the movie is PG-13, some moviegoers may be wondering, how will this rating change this upcoming film? It may surprise some fans out there, but this downgrade in the rating may not effect The Expendables at all.
Aside from some intense action sequences and perhaps a few curse words, there is not a major reason why The Expendables series is rated R. While this is just a guess, perhaps the reasons why The Expendables has been R is because it is a call back to the action stars' previous films; as many of them just so happen to receive that rating for intense violence. That being said, this change could just be a case where the movie was only rated because of the time it was made (despite the fact that The Expendables hit theaters in 2010). Then again, maybe the filmmakers have made a major change this time around. Perhaps The Expendables' action has been toned down. The only to know that is to find out and see the film for yourself.
The upcoming action movie stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz, Glen Powell and Kelsey Grammer.
What do you think about this rating? Do you think it will play a major impact in the film's quality? Express your feelings in the comments below. The Expendables 3 hits theaters on August 15th.

Can Weather Changes Affect Your Health?
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on January 29, 2013 @ 3:57PM
Created on January 29, 2013 @ 2:05PM
Walking outside on Tuesday definitely felt a lot different than it has for the past week. The sun was shining and even though there was a breeze, you could still feel the warmth in the air. That feeling may be short lived. While it physically may feel great and you may hate the cold weather, it turns out that your body may as well.
People complain about their aches and pains then blame them to the weather. Overtime, doctors and scientists studied weather affects on the body. Turns out, the people may have been right.
Some people may test negative for allergies but still have similar symptoms like the sneezing and congestion during weather changes. This is acknowledged by doctors and does have treatment plans. Also, it's known that thunderstorms can induce asthma attacks for some patients. There's the joint pains and migraines brought on by damp weather or quick changes.
Over the next few days, doctors said to try to take care of yourselves so that you don't start feeling under the weather. Take general precautions such as washing your hands and not touching your mouth or eyes. Keep blankets in the car in case you get stuck in the cold weather somewhere.
Also, to fight getting into a depression-like funk, go to the gym or do whatever you can to stay active.

Providing a truly independent forum on national security is a noble mission—but independence requires financial support without compromise. One of the most effective ways to help the Institute sustain future programs and services is by becoming a member of the Quill and Sword Legacy Society.
Chief Executive Officer Tom Wilkerson has become a charter member. "Joining the Quill and Sword Legacy Society was a simple and ideal way for me to continue supporting the Institute's mission long after I retire. Membership does not require large personal wealth or time-consuming paperwork—just a simple phone call to our Foundation office," he said.
There are no minimum requirements for membership, which comes with a lifetime of benefits.
"Anyone who has already named USNI in their estate plans will automatically become a member of this distinguished society as soon as they inform us of their gift," Wilkerson added.
The Quill and Sword Legacy Society name invokes the Institute's crest, which depicts these two symbols of wisdom and power—characteristics that generous planned-gift donors will help USNI share for the next 133 years and beyond.
If you would like to assist in maintaining a strong, safe, democratic America defended by an informed, intelligent, responsible, and professional military, then please consider making a planned gift [5] . First seek the counsel of your financial advisor, then contact Lisa Taylor at (410) 295-1063, or at [email protected] [6] .

Andrea Remondini's Non Sequitur offers up an array of sounds that are melodic and captivating. Italian classically influenced progressive instrumental synth pop, the sound is part electronic, part classical and part jazz at the same time. This is perhaps what makes Non Sequitur one of the most complex and intricate albums to emerge in some time. Remondini is able to merge the sounds to ingeniously create and craft an album that is full of many moods but maintains the same theme - one of inspired excellence.
The Italian native's release due out May 29, will undeniably capture fans of his who know him from the many hits that have been produced throughout the years including "Ocean Whispers," which was done in cooperation with DJ Mauro Picotto in 1996 that reached #3 on the Italian sales charts; "Communication (Somebody Answer the Phone)" with DJ Più in 1999 that reached the top 5 on the UK singles chart and 2001's "Komodo," a dance single with DJ Picotto that was awarded gold in Germany and was featured in the top 10 in Austria, Germany as well as Switzerland and scored a #11 spot on the UK singles charts. With an unmatched sound encompassing Non Sequitur, Andrea Remondini is on the way to another charting hit.
Final Grade: A

I was expecting it to be present as well. Since it isn't, I'm writing one right now. I currently have the basic function in place and working - users upload images which are resized to an administrator specified dimension. I would say my progress is 70%. I'm attempting to use only Joomla native and Mootools native libraries so the plugin is lightweight.
Before I submit it to the JED, I'm going to implement several other features, such as:
require administrator approval (option)
apply effects to the image (option)
store original image (option)
reprocess stored image (original or post-processed)
crop (option)
Any other ideas before I finish?
Masood Ahmad commented
Really strange, a basic feature i was already expecting to be present. Please add

This is the one feature I want more than any for Joomla. Can any Joomla team people give any idea if this will be implemented in 2.5?
If not, we need to see a good extension for this function.

I fully agree that Joomla really needs this functionality. This is a basic must have feature for any modern day CMS or forum software. I was actually surprised to not see this already announced as a feature for Joomla 2.5.

JACKSON, MISS. - Deuce McAllister hung up his cleats six months ago.
The former Ole Miss and New Orleans Saints star now begins Phase II - or Phase Deuce - of his life.
But before he embarked on the great unknown, McAllister enjoyed a night of reflection on Friday, when friends, family and colleagues feted him at a retirement dinner at the Jackson (Miss.) Convention Center.
"Celebrating a Saint" was a wonderful evening, with several heartwarming testimonials to McAllister and his standout career at Morton High School, Ole Miss and the Saints.
The outpouring of support was inspiring. Everyone from Mississippi State Sen. Michael Watson to Cleveland Cavaliers guard Mo Williams to Saints guard Terrence Metcalf, praised McAllister, mostly for his friendship and humanitarianism. More was said about McAllister's off-field work than his remarkable on-field production.
The consensus: McAllister was a better man than a football player.
Anyone who played with, worked with or cheered for McAllister during his Saints career could attest to that.
It should come as no surprise that McAllister plans to keep his Catch22 Foundation going in retirement. He wants kids in Ludlow, Brandon, Starkville and Utica to enjoy the same opportunities he did as youth in tiny Lena, Miss.
On Friday night, McAllister fondly recalled his first autograph - indoor soccer star Steve Long - and his first road trip as a 10-year-old youth football standout to the exotic metropolis of Slidell. ("That was BIG!" McAllister laughed.)
"The kids need all the help they can get," McAllister said. "We can't let them down. It's about giving to others. We want to see the kids from Ludlow, Brandon and Starkville be successful."
Retirement seems to be suiting McAllister. On Friday night, he was relaxed and brandishing his trademark smile throughout the evening. The desire to play remains, but he's accepted his fate.
Only five years ago, McAllister was coming off his third consecutive 1,000-yard season and was on the verge of signing a $50.1 million contract extension.
Three major knee injuries and seven operations later, McAllister is out of the league and looking for work.
"It hasn't always been easy, but I've been taught the world isn't always going to be perfect," he said. "Whatever hand you're dealt, that's how it is and you make the best of it."
McAllister vowed Friday night to make the best of his second career.
He hopes to land a gig as a college football analyst with a TV network in the fall. He's also considering some kind of role with the Saints organization, though not as a coach.
"I don't see that in my future," McAllister said.
If nothing else, he could probably earn a decent living just being Deuce McAllister in Louisiana and Mississippi. Few athletes are as revered in these parts as Deuce.
Perhaps the only former athlete more revered in both states is another former Ole Miss and Saints standout.
I spoke to Archie Manning on Friday at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux. Few athletes have made better transitions to their post-playing careers than Manning. He remains a force as a marketer and public speaker.
I asked Archie and Peyton Manning if they had any remarks they'd like me to relay to Deuce at his dinner later that evening.
Both praised McAllister for his work on and off the field. Both wished him the best in retirement.
Peyton called McAllister "a stud."
Archie said "Deuce is good people."
If you know the Mannings, that's high praise.
There've been a lot of studs in the NFL over the years. And a lot of very good people, too. But rare is to find a stud who is also "good people."
Deuce McAllister is one of the few.
The same qualities that made him a success in his football career will carry him in Phase Deuce.
