If you are stuck in a world after the apocalypse that leaves you constantly mobile, why not be mobile in style. Here are a few vehicles that will help you along your way down the path of a road warrior.
UNICAT INDIVIDUAL MD48 has got it all. It is basically a house on wheels. It has tons of security features, power supplies (including a solar system), storage, and many luxury features including a bed and a shower. If this isn't big enough for you they have plenty of much larger vehicles.
Sportsmobile Ultimate Adventure Vehicle is a 4X4 van that has all the amenities of a large motorhome. They are in the business of converting Ford, Chevy, GM, Nissan, and Mercedes Benz Sprinter vans into a number of different configurations. This one will get you there and you won't have to sleep on a rock.
Siberian by Tiger Adventure Vehicles is their largest model. They start with a F450 Crew Cab 4X4 and work their magic on it and it becomes an offroad beast. It comes with many features you would find in an RV. It also includes a solar system, is all aluminum (except for the truck of course), and has a beefed up offroad package all included. This vehicle is an adventure in itself.
Any of these awesome vehicles would be ideal for a life on the road, or just a short adventure. They are all tough, able to go about anywhere, and have comfortable living quarters. Be sure to check out their web sites for more information on how cool they are.

The Time Bank of the Rockies will be holding their monthly orientation and potluck on Sunday, October 20 at the Mercer home on 1875 Locust Road in Montrose. The orientation meeting will start at 4 p.m. and the potluck will begin afterwards at 6 p.m. Time banks, or "time exchanges", are organizations where people can exchange hours of service and receive time credits which they can then exchange for help or instruction in whatever areas are presently available for bank members. In other words, a person can help a time bank member with their computer for three hours and then exchange those time credits for three hours of music lessons from another member. Time instead of money is the medium of exchange. Time banks are an innovative way for alternative educators to learn new skills and give service as well as save money.
Anyone interested in joining the Time Bank of the Rockies is invited to come to the 4 p.m. orientation and then stay for the potluck. In addition to the potluck, a seed exchange will also take place. Those coming to the orientation are asked to bring a laptop computer with them and to RSVP to Cynthia Harwood via email or by calling 970.209.6886.
Prospective time bank members can accumulate time bank hours by helping out at a "Mob Job" activity at the Ridgway Town Hall on Saturday, October 19 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The group will be helping out the town by painting, planting, weeding, doing repairs and other odd jobs. The Town Hall is located at 2010 Railroad Road.

WADSWORTH — The city is seeking funding to relieve congestion in the High Street and Interstate 76 area.
The estimated $18.6 million project qualifies for funding from the Ohio Department of Transportation because at least three areas of the highway and corridor were declared "hot spots" in ODOT studies done in 2005 and 2006, City Engineer Tom Tucker said.
"They call them 'hot spots,' and those are areas of high accidents," he said. He could not provide specific accident figures.
Wadsworth plans to widen the High Street corridor and make improvements to the highway interchange at Interstate 76 around 2012. Recently the city applied for $7.5 million in funds from the Ohio Department of Transportation's Transportation Review Advisory Council to help fund the $18.6 million project, City Engineer Tom Tucker said. (Lisa Hlavinka / Gazette)
ODOT likely will award the city an approximately $5 million grant for the High Street corridor and a $3 million grant for the highway interchange, he said.
"Originally, we were looking at a five-lane section and a cost of $6 million, but through time and expansion of the project we're up to $18 million, so we've gained $8 million in funding, but we still have a gap in our financing," Tucker said.
The city recently applied for $7.5 million from ODOT's Transportation Review Advisory Council to partially close that gap, Tucker said.
The remainder of the project's cost would be covered by the city.
Tucker said he does not anticipate the project to begin until at least 2012.
The city plans to begin the project by rebuilding the Interstate 76 interchange, he said.
"The bridge over I-76 will be widened from two lanes to seven, with two southbound left-turn lanes and one northbound left-turn lane," he said.
South of Smokerise Drive to I-76, High Street will be widened from four to six lanes, he said. North of Smokerise, High Street will be widened to three lanes with a center two-way left-turn lane.
Next, the city will replace numerous driveways to businesses on High Street with access drives to create a smoother flow of traffic, Tucker said. Barriers also will be erected to control traffic.
"At any one time, you have cars leaving all of these driveways, and at the same time, there are more coming in," Tucker said. "So there are a lot of conflicts, a lot of potential for accidents here."
Additionally, Great Oaks Trail will be aligned with Park Center Drive to provide better east-west flow.
"It's a safety project, and it's also a capacity project," he said.
High Street last was widened in 1985, Tucker said. As the 20-year life of the road wound down in 2003, the city began looking at improving traffic flow in the area, he said.

I was at El Camino swapmeet a couple of years ago.
I made a comment to a guy I was talking to.
I said "I rode with a guy once who had a ULH 80 inch chopper.I couldnt believe how massive the heads and barrels looked on his motor."
The guy said that a UL 74 inch motor's heads and barrels are the exact same size (outside diameter) as a ULH 80 inch.He said just the bore and stroke is bigger(or longer). So he said he could use 74 heads 74 barrels(bored) and it would be exactly the same(of course with a ULH bottom). Is this true???????????? Thanks!!

Antidepressants in Stream Waters! Are They in the Fish Too?
USGS scientist removing the brain from a fish (a white sucker) collected from Fourmile Creek near Ankeny, Iowa. The scientists tested the fish's brain for the presence of antidepressant drugs. Traces of antidepressant drugs were found in fish and also in the water from Fourmile Creek.
For some fish living downstream of sewage treatment plants the answer is yes. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists and their colleagues published a paper in Environmental Science and Technology documenting that specific antidepressants and their degradates found in wastewater discharged into streams by municipal wastewater treatment plants are taken up into the bodies of fish living downstream of the plants. The antidepressants were found in fish collected over 8 kilometers (approximately 5 miles) downstream of the location of the wastewater discharge. The scientists detected several commonly used antidepressants in water, streambed sediment, and the brain tissue of white suckers, a native fish species. Fish collected upstream from the wastewater discharge did not have antidepressants present in their brain tissues. The study was conducted in two streams, Boulder Creek near Boulder, Colorado, and Fourmile Creek near Ankeny, Iowa.
More of What the Scientists Found
Average concentrations of antidepressants in water, sediment, and fish neural tissue from Boulder Creek just below the point where wastewater from a sewage treatment plant is discharged (USGS Site ID 400305105103901). Since concentration units differed for each sample type, the concentrations were normalized to the highest single antidepressant concentration in each sample type (highest concentration was set to equal one). The graph shows that fish selectively absorb some antidepressants more than others.
The study was conducted in collaboration with scientists from the College of Wooster, Ohio; St. Cloud State University, Minnesota; and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Schultz, M.M., Furlong, E.T., Kolpin, D.W., Werner, S.L., Schoenfuss, H.L., Barber, L.B., Blazer, V.S., Norris, D.O., and Vajda, A.M., 2010, Antidepressant pharmaceuticals in two U.S. effluent-impacted streams--Occurrence and fate in water and sediment, and selective uptake in fish neural tissue: Environmental Science and Technology, doi:10.1021/es9022706 (Advanced Web release).
Painter, M.M., Buerkley, M.A., Julius, M.L., Vajda, A.M., Norris, D.O., Barber, L.B., Furlong, E.T., Schultz, M.M., and Schoenfuss, H.L., 2009, Antidepressants at environmentally relevant concentrations affect predator avoidance behavior of larval fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas): Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, v. 28, no. 12, p. 2677-2684, doi:10.1897/08-556.1.
More Information
"The most important observation in our study is that you cannot necessarily predict which antidepressants are present in aquatic tissue from antidepressant concentrations in the water the organisms are living in. This study clearly documents selective uptake of specific antidepressants into fish brain tissue that were minor components in corresponding water samples. There are many reasons why this selective uptake may occur - including differences in fat versus water solubilities of the targeted antidepressants - but these results suggest other, as yet unidentified mechanisms may also be involved that warrant further study.
We also do not yet fully understand the implications for fish health and populations from exposure to these antidepressants. However, we have collaborated in laboratory experiments (Painter and others, 2009) documenting a slowed predator avoidance behavior in larval fathead minnows exposed to antidepressant concentrations similar to those observed in this study. A slower response to predators is probably not helpful when you are on the lower end of the food chain."

When taking a portrait photo, light ratios determine the look and mood of our portraits. A light ratio is the difference between the amount of light coming from one source, in relation to another light source. Usually in portrait photography, we work with two light sources, namely natural light and artificial light.
Natural light comes from the sun, while artificial light can come from any other light source, eg. speedlights, studio strobes, street lamps, chandeliers, and so on.
Note that the term 'available light' is commonly used to refer to natural light, but in practice it can also mean any light that is available without the photographer introducing additional lighting, which makes 'available light' include any other artificial light like street lamps.
Light ratios can also be applied to landscape photography, as described in my earlier article, Light Ratios for Landscapes.
Light Ratio 1 (High Key)
Background: High / Subject: Low
This is referred to as a high-key shot, and can be achieved using either natural light or artificial light. This type of shot requires the amount of light on the background to be at least 2 stops more than that which is falling on the subject.
To achieve this with natural light, simply place your subject in a shaded area on a bright sunny day. Overcast days are fine too, if you can find a shaded area that is dark enough. The trick is the light ratio between subject and background.
Example of a high-key shot with natural light:
With artificial light, you can do this in a room or studio, using speedlights or studio strobes. If you can ensure that the amount of light on your subject is 2 stops less than the amount of light hitting the background, you will get a nice clean white background.
Example of a high-key shot with artificial light (top half):
Light Ratio 2 (Low Key)
Background: Low / Subject: High
This would be the low-key shot, where the background is typically darker than your subject. The light ratio is the reverse of what a high-key shot would use, which means that the amount of light on the background is less than that which is falling on the subject.
Using natural light, a possible scenario would be a darkened room with a narrow shaft of light coming in from a small window. The more focused the light, the bigger the difference in the light ratio. Focused light coming into a window would happen in the morning or evening, depending on which direction your window is facing. A west-facing window will have the highest concentration of light in the evening, while an east-facing window will have the highest concentration of light in the morning.
Example of a low-key shot with natural light:
With artificial light, a low-key shot is achieved with using the correct balance of ambient light and speedlights (or another type of light if you wish). The trick is to keep the ambient light low, and the speedlight output higher than the ambient.
Example of a low-key shot with artifical light:

It looks like the new P55 and P57 will not ship with SATA 3 support.
Despite the fact that AMD is planning one with SATA 3 support for Q1 2010, Intel will not make that feature available on tits next two chipsets.
SATA 3 can support up to 6Gbps (750MBps) while the older SATA 2 only supports up to 3Gbps (375MBps).
Intel is sure to have SATA 3 support soon but it looks like AMD will beat them to the punch.
Read more here at Fudzilla.
it turns out that its new 5th generation mainstream chipsets won't feature support for SATA 6Gb/s. Both P55, that comes in Q3 2009, and P57 that comes in Q1 2010 and has better support for 32nm CPU with IGP Clarksdale, won't support SATA 3.
This comes as quite a surprise, as AMD prepares its SB820 Southbridge that should have SATA 3 support and this Southbridge should launch in early 2010. Since both P55 and P57 are single chip chipsets Intel will have to release a new chipset to get SATA 3 support.

Whether you're coming to Denver as a visitor or you're a tried and true local, it would be a mistake to miss out on the New Belgium Brewery tour. New Belgium is the maker of such popular brews as Trippel, 1554, Sunshine Wheat, and Fat Tire, which are sold on tap or in bottles (and now cans!) in 25 states nationwide, as of 2009. The state of Colorado boasts at least 100 craft brewers, three of which (including New Belgium) are located in Fort Collins, an hour and a half north of Denver. Though you may be more familiar with the larger brew tours such as Coors or Anheuser Busch, the trip to Fort Collins is, for many reasons, well worth the drive.
Before your trip, you'll want to start online or on the phone. The guided tour is open to anyone, and it's free – you just need to sign up for the popular excursion in advance to guarantee a spot, especially on weekends. Contact one of the extremely friendly folk there, and you're on your way.
If you're leaving from Denver, enjoy the scenery along Interstate 25 up to Fort Collins. You can take the time to appreciate how you're paralleling the majestic Rocky Mountains, at the very point where the West gives way to the wide plains and farmland of middle America. You'll notice the many up-and-coming communities along the road, which have grown in size and popularity as the outskirts of Denver have begun to expand over recent years.
Once you reach Fort Collins, the New Belgium Brewery is not far from the highway. On the way, you'll pass the smaller Odell brewery, another local favorite. The town is also home to the Colorado State University, which is worth a drive around campus if you want to see what makes the Buffs' blood boil.
Upon arrival, take in the stately, wood and glass construction that is the New Belgium Brewery. Their familiar red-and-orange circular logo stands at the entrance, as also do many signature bikes, hanging whimsically from the beams inside or lined up outside in gleaming rows. This is your first indication of the good time that awaits.
You'll want to arrive earlier than your tour time so that you can fully enjoy the New Belgium atmosphere and complimentary samples, which you receive tokens for upon arrival. Ask any one of the bartenders which draft they recommend, and their eyes may well up as they explain what each one means to them personally. You may be unfamiliar with this kind of fierce devotion to beer at the beginning, but by the end of the tour, you begin to understand.
Once your group gets called up and whisked off by your amiable guide…well, the rest is for you to discover. Here are just a few Dos and Don'ts that should help you make the most out of your time at one of the coolest breweries in Colorado:
Designate a driver. Samples are generous and alcohol-rich. Since you can do the tour as many times as you want in your lifetime, promise your driver a return trip in the near future. Or, better yet…
Make sure to go home with a growler. After your tour ends, this is the best and most economical way to keep the New Belgium times rolling even after you leave. For $4.00, you can walk out the door with a really cool souvenir from the brewery, and for another $6.00, you can fill that up with 64 ounces of your favorite taste from the day.
Bone up on the company's history. The guides – all stock-holding employees themselves – could not be happier with their jobs or believe more passionately in what they are a part of. They do an excellent job of conveying that pride along with a thorough history of the company, but once the samples start flowing, some of these facts may be lost on you. If you're already a big fan of the brand and each of their quirky brews, having a little more previous knowledge walking into the tour will help you appreciate founder Jeff Lebesch's story and vision even more.
Go down the slide. Haven't gone down a slide since grade school? Leave your adult fear of heights at the door. Allow your inner child to go squealing down the tight turns, and wonder what your job would be like with an aluminum slide in the middle of operations.
Don't plan on walking it off. The brewery is not exactly within ambling distance of local haunts and shops. It's set back a bit from the action, to ensure plenty of space for their eco-friendly brewing magic. This is another reason why a designated driver is naturally a must (unless you plan on kowtowing to New Belgium philosophy and riding a bike there). The waiting area/bar is a bustling and fun place to be, so you can always plan on hanging out for awhile.
Don't show up to the tour already drunk. Trust me on this – it's not attractive. Not only that, but your fellow tour-takers are not likely to appreciate the irony and you will automatically become the butt of all jokes for the next 90 minutes.
Undoubtedly, as you leave with a smile on your face and a full growler in your hand, you'll be glad you went. As it says on the state of Colorado's official website, "If you like beer, you'll love Colorado."

Judging the most compelling games for the 2013 New Orleans Saints is a difficult proposition because of the unknown variables (injuries, new coaches/coordinators, etc.) that ultimately play out during the course of an NFL season.
I used multiple factors in ranking the Saints' 16 regular-season games, including anticipated quality of the opponent, the opposition's quarterback situation, game times (late in the season, early in the season, prime time) and potential weather conditions.
I'll unveil the list every weekday as we count down to training camp.
The rankings are from easiest to most difficult games. Let the debate begin.
No. 15: Oct. 27 -- vs. Buffalo, noon (right after bye week)
QB ranking (among the 13 the Saints will face): Kevin Kolb/E.J. Manuel -- 12
Anticipated quality of opponent ranking: 13
The factors: Sean Payton will square off against the second head coach stemming from his coaching tree with former Saints offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Doug Marrone now leading the Bills.
Receiver Stevie Johnson and running back C.J. Spiller are certainly threats for the Bills. Who will be getting them the ball is an uncertainty right now, and could remain that way by the time the Saints play Buffalo. The Bills drafted Manuel in the first round to become the starter. And yet Kolb may be the guy.
Fearless prediction: Marques Colston, Lance Moore and Joe Morgan will catch touchdown passes, but the Bills will hold the Saints less than 100 rushing yards.
No. 16: Sept. 22 vs. Arizona, noon

I am working on a variational problem involving elastic stability of a beam.
The deformation of the beam is given by six functions of the material coordinate along the beams longitudinal axis. The governing functional looks like $$ \int_{s_1}^{s_2} F \left( u(s),v(s),w(s),\phi(s),\chi(s),\psi(s) \right) ds. $$ (It represents the beam's strain energy.)
Now I want to impose the condition that transverse shear deformation and elongation are zero. The consequence is that the 6 degrees of freedom of the beam are reduced to essentially 3. It can be shown that the three relations $$ \frac{du}{ds} = \sin(\chi), \quad \frac{dv}{ds} = -\sin(\phi)\cos(\chi), \quad \frac{dw}{ds} = \cos(\phi)\cos(\chi) -1 \qquad (*) $$ between the coordinates are valid in case transverse shear deformation and elongation are neglected.
My understanding is that there are now two ways to incorporate this constraint condition:
- eliminate variables in the original functional by substitution
- include equations (*) by means of Lagrange multipliers
I would like to use the latter method. The book The variational principles of mechanics by Lanczos explains this for both holonomic and non-holonomic constraints (and isoperimetric ones as well). Though I can see that equations (*) are clearly not some algebraic relation $$ f_i(u,v,w,\phi,\chi,\psi)=0, \quad i=1\dots3 $$ between the coordinates, does this means the constraint qualifies as non-holonomic? I am confused because it seems integrable. Or does it then become an isoperimetric constraint?
I am getting more confused; can we only call constraints non-holonomic if derivatives with respect to time are involved? (Meaning that all equations (*) above just represent holonomic constraints, since it is all static?)
In The enigma of nonholonomic constraints by Flannery (2005), it is explained that for the typical action $$ S = \int_{t_1}^{t_2} L({q},\dot{q},t) dt $$ the Lagrange multiplier rule can only be used for holonomic and semi-holonomic (exact linear) conditions. Here, the independent variable clearly is time, but in my case it is some spatial coordinate.
If we assume that the independent variables space and time are interchangeable, my (*) equations appear non-holonomic (so, not to be incorporated with Lagrange multipliers), as they cannot be expressed as exact differential.. But, is this correct reasoning?

I am running Doom3 on Linux. Everything worked out fine, as described in this documentation but I ran into a fix when I changed my screen resolution.
Now the games starts in a bigger window, the bottom part of which is inaccessible as it extends beyond my laptop screen size. The mouse pointer moves only inside this window, so neither can use the Doom UI nor can I move this Doom window to make the UI visible.
Is there a config file somewhere where I can specify the screen resolution, or some command-line parameters with which to start Doom3 ?

Russian Federation Pres. Vladimir Putin on Mar 1 asked for authorization of military force to protect Russian lives and interests in Ukraine in an emergency session of the Russian Federation Council in Moscow, a legislative body equivalent to the U.S. Senate, though known for its 'rubber stamping' of directives after they've been issued by Pres. Putin. The vote was unanimous for the authorization.
The move comes on the heels of a stealthy deployment of up to 6,000 Russian combat troops into Crimea wearing unmarked combat uniforms, seizing airports and key road hubs to prevent Ukrainian military forces from reinforcing Crimea and likely to bring more Russian troops and armored vehicles.
Russian IL-76 heavy air transports as well as transport and attack helicopters have been shuttling back and forth between Semferopol and Sevastopol and the Russian Caucuses region to the east of Crimea, while Russian Black Sea Fleet missile patrol boats prosecuted a naval blockade of the harbor area around Sevastopol.
The Ukrainian leadership in Kiev has placed its military forces on alert, including a war warning to Ukrainian naval vessel underway in the Black Sea.
Earlier in the week, Pres. Putin ordered the mobilization of 150,000 Russian troops on the border with eastern Ukraine.
Pres. Putin is citing security agreements with Ukraine regarding Crimea as justification for troop movements in that territory. So, it is likely the request for authorization today, is for sending troops into eastern Ukraine.
It is also possible that Russian forces could advance into northwest Ukraine from Russian positions in Belarus and drive south parallel to the Polish border and toward the city of Lviv. Though technically independent, Russian forces reestablished a heavy military presence in Belarus several years ago, including Russian border guards on Belarus' border with Poland.
Perhaps in anticipation of such an action, the Polish Foreign Minister has cut short his trade trip to India and is heading back to Warsaw. Were Russian forces to drive into western Ukraine, there would likely be a flow of refugees into Poland.
Warnings have been issued from European leaders, including NATO Sec. Gen. Rasmussen against any Russian military intervention into Ukraine. The latest warning came from Pres. Barack Obama in a statement Feb 28 in Washington. The escalation in frequency and stern wording of these warnings suggests Western intelligence data has indicated that Russia is preparing for military intervention or a large scale invasion.
Ukraine is not a member of NATO, so there is no obligation by treaty to defend or assist Ukraine militarily.

"Pretty," filmed in Los Angeles, is a web series like no other you will ever see. "Pretty" (http://prettytheseries.com/pretty-episodes/viewcategory/20/pretty) is the story of Annette Champagne, a professional child beauty pageant contestant. But Annette is no ordinary child... She is played by a thirty-something actress, Stacy McQueen. Award winning "Pretty" is one of the funniest, zaniest web series on the Internet. The show has a wealth of daytime and prime time guest stars to round out an outstanding cast.
In 2012, after three very successful, hilarious, and award-winning seasons, creator Steve Silverman called it quits and Pretty aired its last show. Then, after a long hiatus, "Pretty" went back into production for a fourth season.
We caught up with Steve who had this to say about "Pretty."
Flo DiBona: Steve, "Pretty," is a wildly popular cult favorite. What made you end the series when you did, and what made you bring it back for a new fourth season after ending it in 2012?
Steve Silverman: The 100% truth is it stopped being fun. It became work. And it's supposed to be work cause these things take a lot of work, but I already had a full time job that was my work. So if I'm going to do a project like "Pretty," where I'm not being paid, in fact, I AM the one paying everyone else, it BETTER be fun. That's as honest as I can be. I took some time off from doing web series, then wrote, directed and produced my next project "The Inn" (http://prettytheseries.com/), and then the spark of a new "Pretty" story came to me and I wrote it, rewrote it after some notes from friends, and it sounded like it could be fun again. Sometimes stepping away from something for a little while makes you miss it.
FD: Two words, Stacy McQueen?
SS: Two words, Best Pal. We've known each other for 21 years. She's one of the first people I met when I moved to Los Angeles, right after I finished college, and we've stayed close ever since. Stacy is infinitely talented, gorgeous on the inside and out, honest, I can go on and on. I'm blessed to call her my friend. I'm privileged to work with her on this project.
FD: Can you give readers any tidbits on what we can expect in Season 4?
SS: OK, how about……NO. Have you met me? I am the king of no spoilers. You think you're gonna get me to spill details? You didn't even offer me chocolate. I will only say this at this time: You have no idea what's about to happen on "Pretty," but when you see it, you'll go (hopefully), "Ooooooh, THAT makes sense."
FD: Has it been easy to go back to "Pretty," after such a long break?
SS: Surprisingly, yes. It's like putting on an old suit jacket and being happy it still fits and thinking you look good in it. We've had a big change up behind and in front of the cameras: My previous Executive Producers John, Doug, and Kirsten have moved on to other projects, so I brought over Barbara Farmer, who Executive Produced "The Inn" and also served as Producer on "Pretty" Season 2 and 3, as Executive Producer. I have my angel Heidi Moore back again as a Producer and I brought in Barbi Caruso from "DeVanity" (http://www.examiner.com/article/web-series-devanity) as a Producer as well, which was perfect cause their show had just wrapped and more importantly, she kept her husband in line. In front of the camera, you'll see Stacy again as "Annette," Dee Freeman returns as "Ribina," and the rest of the cast is new, but keep an eye out for previous "Pretties" cause you know I like a surprise or two to pop up here and there.
FD: We have heard that Michael Caruso of "DeVanity" will be appearing in "Pretty." Can you tell us anything about his "Pretty" role and can you tell us about some of the other actors appearing in the new season?
SS: That is a vicious rumor that I can confirm: Michael Caruso has joined "Pretty" and that's all I can tell you right now. We're thrilled to have him, he's a good friend and I think everyone will enjoy seeing him work his comedy chops after all that slapping and such on "DeVanity" for four seasons. "Fumbling Thru The Pieces" (http://www.youtube.com/user/fumblingthru) Diane Delano and "Venice's" (http://www.venicetheseries.com/) Adrienne Wilkinson are both new additions to our cast, along with Juliette Jeffers, Amy Witry, Tisha Terrasini Banker, and 13-year-old wonder kid, Ava Bergman - we all loved working with Ava and pray we haven't scarred her for life.
FD: When can fans expect to see the new season of Pretty?
SS: Season 4's very first episode will premiere at the HOT AS HELL web series event this summer on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014. You should come to it. Everyone should come. It's in Palm Springs, Calif. It's going to be a billion degrees. McQueen, Caruso, Delano, Wilkinson, me - we'll all be there to sweat with. Here's the info: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/517554. We'll go up online sometime in late August/early September is the plan.
FD: Steve thank you so much. Is there anything you would like to say to "Pretty" fans?
SS: I would like to say THANK YOU for all your support over the years and for still being excited about our show. That was my biggest fear that we'd film the show and no one would care anymore. Please care. Please, please, oh please care.
FD: We care, Steve!

"Bachelor" star Juan Pablo has been looking for his wife and his selection is slowly getting smaller. He only has a little over a handful of women left and some of them are more aggressive than others. However, there are two women who are not getting along and their drama will play out soon. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Feb. 11, "Bachelor" star Juan Pablo's women will now show their true feelings next week on the show, as the women are in Miami.
One of the women is Clare Crawley. Clare has been very territorial of Juan Pablo, taking lots of alone time with him when she got the chance on the big group dates. In addition, the two went skinny dipping, which Juan had regrets about later. Nikki is the other woman, who Clare thinks isn't being honest about who she is on the show.
"The tension has been building between Nikki and Clare, and next week it will finally boil to the surface," Chris Harrison has revealed about the upcoming episode. Nikki tells Clare, "I don't like you — we're never going to be friends," before then adding that Clare is "f—king crazy." Of course, Clare will fight back because Clare is confident in who she is and very territorial of Juan.
What do you think of these women fighting?

Capsule, Mercury, MA-6
In this historic capsule, John H. Glenn Jr. became the first American to orbit the Earth. Glenn's flight was the third manned mission of Project Mercury, following two suborbital flights by astronauts in 1961. Glenn's three-orbit mission on February 20, 1962, was a sterling success, as he overcame problems with the automatic control system that would have ended an unmanned flight. But reentry was tense, as a faulty telemetry signal from the spacecraft indicated that the heat shield might be loose. Mission Control instructed Glenn not to jettison the retrorocket package after firing in order to better hold the heat shield in place. Glenn reentered successfully and splashed down in the Atlantic 4 hours, 55 minutes and 23 seconds after launch.
NASA transferred Friendship 7 to the Smithsonian Institution in 1963, which has exhibited it in buildings on the National Mall ever since.

Holder's Role in the Controversial Clemencies for Puerto Rican Militants
In the run-up to next week's confirmation hearing for Eric Holder, the nominee for Attorney General, much is being made over the Marc Rich Pardon.
But there could be another fly in Holder's pudding: His push to support the 1999 grant of clemency to members of two Puerto Rican militant groups — FALN (it's the Spanish acronym for Armed Forces of National Liberation) and Los Macheteros. Today, the LA Times takes a deep dive into the episode, which Arlen Specter, the Senator from Pennsylvania who's the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, criticized earlier this week.
The LAT reports that, in 1999, Holder, then the deputy AG, "repeatedly pushed some of his subordinates at the Clinton Justice Department to drop their opposition to a controversial . . . grant of clemency to 16 members of two violent Puerto Rican nationalist organizations. . . . And after Pardon Attorney Roger Adams resisted, Holder's chief of staff instructed him to draft a neutral 'options memo' instead . . ."
"I remember this well," Adams told the LAT, "because it was such a big deal to consider clemency for a group of people convicted of such heinous crimes." He said he told Holder of his "strong opposition to any clemency in several internal memos and a draft report recommending denial" and in at least one face-to-face meeting. But each time Holder wasn't satisfied, Adams said.
The 16 members of the FALN and Los Macheteros, notes the LAT, had been convicted in Chicago and Hartford variously of bank robbery, possession of explosives and participating in a seditious conspiracy. Overall, the two groups had been linked by the FBI to more than 130 bombings, several armed robberies, six slayings and hundreds of injuries. None of the 16 whose sentences were commuted had been convicted of murder, and most had already served lengthy prison terms.
Holder had no comment for the LAT. A spokesman for the Obama transition team said Holder's actions were appropriate.

|WBB Back Home Against CSUB
MOSCOW, Idaho—10 games and counting. That is the current run the University of Idaho women's basketball team has compiled. The Vandals continue their historic march to Las Vegas on Thursday when they play host to the Roadrunners of CSU Bakersfield.
Idaho (17-7, 10-0 WAC) has its first 10-game winning streak since the 1985-86 season. The Vandals have not reeled off 11 consecutive wins since the 1984-85 season. Pat Dobratz's team started the season 15-0. They also had a 13-0 winning streak before falling to No. 15 Southern California in the NCAA Tournament. Idaho's current streak is the eighth longest streak in the nation.
"I think [Thursday] is a huge game for us," head coach Jon Newlee stated. "Bakersfield is in second place and only two games behind us. Being back home, we have to defend our home floor. I think they have a lot of talent and we are really going to have to bring it."

Chicago's homeless population is helping to beautify the city streets they call home. By planting, watering and maintaining downtown streets around the Daley Center, the medians and planters lining Michigan Avenue, LaSalle Street, and Congress Parkway, this often overlooked portion of the population is finding renewed hope.
The Chicago Christian Industrial League's (CCIL) Landscape Training Program organizing what was once a pilot program to a multi-million dollar model for self-help and entrepreneurship. Each year, CCIL trains more than 100 poor and homeless people in landscape maintenance as part of a partnership with ARAMARK and the city of Chicago. Through classroom presentations, participants learn about planting, watering and maintenance.
"Everyone talks about hopes of getting the homeless off the streets," said CCIL Executive Director Judy McIntyre. "We provide housing and literally put people back on the streets, but as productive members of society with work that pays and a renewed sense of purpose. The results speak for themselves."
Since 1909, CCIL has been providing food, clothing, shelter, counseling, training experiences, and affordable housing. They are one of the largest organizations serving the poor and homeless in Chicago.

The Government of Pakistan has set a target to double enrollment in higher education over the next 5 years whilst bringing about significant improvements in the quality of education delivered at higher education Institutions across the country. In order to achieve these objectives, the Government is making significant investments towards developing institutional facilities, introducing new disciplines in cutting-edge and market based technologies, developing human resource including faculty, improving research facilities and student services, creating linkages with local & foreign universities and promoting university-industry interaction, amongst many others. The planning and development activities of the Commission aim to meet reform objectives through the development, funding and implementation of projects in these key areas.
Academic Infrastructure
In pursuit of institutional excellence in teaching and research, HEC has made massive investments to upgrade the physical infrastructure of universities, particularly to cater for the requirements of increased enrollment in higher education and to accommodate the students admitted through various human resource development programs. Cognizant of the fact that traditional brick-and-mortar solutions to improve access will only have an impact to limited degree, HEC has developed a comprehensive ICT strategy to utilize ICTs and distance education to provide education to the masses.Decades of under-investment in the Higher Education system have led to under-development of physical infrastructure of universities. Strategies for increasing enrollment in higher education, improving research capacity and improving quality of education programs succeed only when the necessary infrastructure for these intervention strategies is in place. In this regard, HEC is complementing these activities through a host of physical and technological infrastructure programs to provide high-quality education services to the sector.
The Planning and Development division of HEC has continued to work with the Planning and Finance divisions of the Government of Pakistan to ensure that development needs of the various public sector universities are provided for. The development expenditure of the universities is allocated on the basis of performance and need, where the need is defined both in terms of the particular requirements of that institution as well as the need for improvement in the higher education sector at a macro level. Universities are encouraged to submit development projects that are relevant to their institutional needs. These projects are submitted for review by the appropriate authority (DDWP, CDWP or ECNEC- dependant on project expenditure) and funds are released accordingly.
Examples of the types of projects funded in this manner are as follows:
Universities have now been encouraged to submit 'University Mega-Projects', which contain all of the development activities the universitie
Research Infrastructure
s envisage to complete over a period of five to seven years. These Mega-Projects are designed according to individual institutional visions and objectives and are placed for review at the ECNEC level.
The establishment of a dynamic and productive science system that can fuel the process of innovation critical for the development of Pakistan's knowledge economy is one of the major contributions of HEC to Pakistan. The cornerstone of our strategy in this regard is to enable and nurture truly world-class research at indigenous institutions and to ensure that the research enterprise is sufficiently integrated with industry.
HEC's programs to establish the competitiveness of research base in global context are geared towards recognizing and supporting truly excellent research-financially-along with fostering effective collaboration. Aligned with the human resource and faculty development programs of the Commission, our programs are aimed at enabling researchers to respond to new trends and developments in their fields and to generate new knowledge critical to the national innovation system. HEC has targeted its programs towards supporting the development of the research enterprise to come to grips with possible future directions of S&T to capture the potential social, economic and environmental benefits that may accompany such technological advances. The successful exploitation of new technologies is now a core component of achieving and maintaining international competitiveness which shall in turn be beneficial for the country.
The programs implemented by the Commission to establish a culture of research in indigenous institutions traget the sector in a holistic manner. The aim has been to create an environment conducive to the conduct of world-class research by improving PhD qualifications of research supervisors, meeting short-term deficiencies through the hiring of international experts and creating pool of talented research students through competitive scholarship programs. Coupled with Infrastructure support programs, the establishment of new laboratories and specialized instrumentation centres and providing ICT solutions including high connectivity and a world-leading online digital library resource, HEC aims to re-establish research as the primary activity of our universities. A host of funding opportunities have been provided to support innovative research projects, and mechanisms have been put into place to ensure the relevance of this research to national priorities along with the integration of the research process with the industrial sector.
Access to Information
The terms "information society" and "knowledge-based economy" are used to describe contemporary economic society. In this age of global economy, information is an essential resource for capacity-building along with social and economic development. This new global knowledge-based society requires embracing new development challenges and opportunities that the recent rapid evolution in information and communication technologies (ICT) has brought about.
HEC has aimed to ensure that a comprehensive Information and Communications Technology strategy is incorporated in its goal to develop an information society in Pakistan. Through the University Computerization and Networking Program, all public sector universities have been provided with funds to establish an ICT infrastructure within their institution, including Computer Laboratories and Local Area Networks. The revolutionary Pakistan Education and Research Network (PERN), a fiber based intranet, has extended its reach to 60 universities, and provides internet connectivity of 155MB across the network. Now a full voting member of the Asia Pacific Advance Network Consortium (APAN), PERN is enhancing its functionality by providing connected universities with additional applications such as video conferencing and 'Voice-over-IP' services for communication between connected universities. Universities and campuses currently not connected to PERN or in remote areas beyond the current reach of the network have been provided with a satellite-based internet downlink providing 45MB of internet connectivity to support the delivery of ICT services at universities.
Digital Library Program of the HEC now provides a globally un-paralleled service, with over 20,000 journals from the world's leading publishing houses available online to universities and R & D organizations across the country.
Programs introduced, funded and implemented by the Planning Division of the HEC in this context include:
Facilities for Students and Faculty
Higher Education Commission is committed to providing high-quality services to both students and faculty to ensure the establishment of modern, vibrant and thriving academic and research environments in the Universities of Pakistan. Coupled with our infrastructure programs aligned according to our human resource development targets, the Commission is allocating funds to support the following facilities to students and faculty at Institutions across the country:

During the 4 ˝ hour Extravehicular Activity (EVA) - or spacewalk - Padalka and Fincke replaced experiments on the outside of the Zvezda Service Module and installed navigation aids for next year's arrival of a European cargo craft. Their fourth and final planned spacewalk is targeted for early September.
Wednesday, the crew cleaned and stowed their spacesuits and spacewalking tools, recharged batteries, and filled water tanks for the suits' cooling units. They also conducted debriefing sessions with Russian spacewalk specialists. Also Wednesday, ground controllers in Houston repressurized the Station with nitrogen from the High Pressure Gas Tanks on the Quest Airlock after the spacewalk.
Earlier today, the crew started assembling the cover that will protect the new flex hose on the window of the Destiny Laboratory to ensure it will not be inadvertently damaged by crew activity in the research module.
The crew wrapped up its week with Fincke conducting more experiments with the advanced ultrasound equipment as well as updating software for the Station Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS) that collects information on the effect of crew activity on delicate microgravity experiments housed on board the complex. At the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, final preparations are under way for next Wednesday's launch of the Russian ISS Progress 15 cargo ship that will transport almost three tons of food, fuel, water and supplies for Padalka and Fincke as well as clothing and supplies for the Expedition 10 crew, Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer and Soyuz Commander Salizhan Sharipov, who are scheduled to launch to the Station Oct. 9 to replace Padalka and Fincke.
The Progress 15 craft is scheduled to lift off at 12:03 a.m. CDT (503 GMT) Wednesday for a three-day trip to the Station. Docking is scheduled at 12:02 a.m. CDT (502 GMT) Aug. 14. NASA Television will provide live coverage and commentary of the docking beginning at 11 p.m. CDT Aug. 13.

"Law and Order: SVU" has a very loyal and significant fan base. It has been on the air for over a decade and it still continues to bring fresh story lines to viewers. NBC put out a new series created by Dick Wolf called "Chicago P.D." which airs directly after "Law and Order: SVU." Wolf is a genuis and has several successful shows including the "Law and Order" franchise. According to a Jan. 19 report from E! Online, the two shows will have a crossover event at the end of February. Sophia Bush of "Chicago P.D." and Mariska Hargitay from "Law and Order: SVU" will be working together in New York and Ice-T and Kelli Giddish will head to Chicago to work on the same case.
"Chicago P.D." is only two episodes into the season and already fans are fired up at the potential it has. Fans of "Chicago Fire" have jumped over to check out the sister show and many are looking forward to having these shows meld together at points. Having the first big crossover with something like "Law and Order: SVU" will bring recognition to the newer show, though it doesn't seem like much is needed. Reports say that the case is being investigated by both teams and the only way to solve what happened is to work together in New York and Chicago.
Sophia Bush is headed out to New York to film her portion with the "Law and Order: SVU" team and there is no word when Ice-T and Kelli Giddish will be filming their roles. The event is set to take place February 26 at 9 p.m. CST. This is one television event you won't want to miss!

At the 6th annual Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival (ACFWF) presented by Caesars Entertainment, celebrity chef, restaurateur and Food Network star Marcus Samuelsson made his first appearance as a headlining host. He was a smashing success at all his sold-out events.
For his first appearance at ACFWF, Samuelsson hosted a truly authentic New England Clambake on the beach at Bally's. Guests were served tin buckets filled with lobster, clams, corn on the cob and boiled potatoes with lots of bubbly from Chandon to quench their thirst.
Following Saturday night's Clambake, Chef Samuelsson hosted a three course breakfast for fans and food lovers. The three-course menu included: Deviled Eggs with a little heat; Smoked Salmon and Green Papaya Salad, with shredded cabbage, zucchini, carrots, papaya and herbs of mint, basil and cilantro; Caribbean Bacon with Beans on Injera (a spongy and slightly sour flat bread that is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine) and Soy Poached Egg. The breakfast was an exotic and delicious blend of Chef Samuelsson's culinary heritage: the cured salmon, which is similar to the Swedish/Nordic gravlax, and Injera, the Ethiopian flat bread. Texture is key to Samuelsson whose Green Papaya Salad combined texture and color blended with sweet, tart and aromatic tastes. It was truly a delectable meal.
In speaking about hosting a breakfast or brunch similar to his, Samuelsson's advice is easy: eggs are always good as a first course ~ the spice level can be controlled and if children are included, they can help prepare the eggs; plan dishes that you can prepare ahead of time and keep it simple. Poached eggs can be cooked before, and then put in ice water with salt until time to reheat and serve.
When interviewed, Samuelsson showed a great sense of humor and spoke with deep dedication about his craft and his community where he helps underserved youth through C-CAP (Careers through Culinary Arts Programs). He said his Swedish grandmother Helga taught him everything about cooking from pickling fresh vegetables to food costs. In discussing his background briefly, Chef Samuelsson, who was born in Ethiopia, was adopted by Swedish parents at age three after his mother died. Growing up in Sweden no food went to waste. When cooking a meal, one always thought about the second meal and leftovers. Meatballs were often eaten, as it was considered the dish of poverty. Summers he fished off the west coast of Sweden with his father where they caught lobster, crayfish and mackerel and often smoking the catch.
From his Ethiopian background he gained knowledge about spices, the key element in flavoring Ethiopian cooking, preserving flavors and the use of smoked chilies, dried garlic and ginger. In Ethiopian cooking the elements of heat, acidity, sweet and sour all come together.
Living in Harlem, he learned a lot about the community. With the mantra to "put your best food forward," it took him five years of studying his community before opening Red Rooster Harlem. The restaurant showcases American comfort food with hints of his Swedish and African roots. Here he hires locally, his staff are local ambassadors in the community and it is a place where people from all walks of life "can break bread together."
Samuelsson graduated from the Culinary Institute in Gothenburg, Sweden and apprenticed in Switzerland, France and Austria. When he arrived in the United States, his palate was already trained in many cuisines. In 1995 he worked his way up to Executive Chef at Aquavit earning it three stars from The New York Times in just three months. He was a James Beard "Rising Star Chef" and in 2003 James Beard "Best Chef New York City." However, after 9/11, his outlook on cooking and his community changed; five years later Red Rooster Harlem was born.

I have a following simple script called single-instance that executes the given command if there is no process under that command running. If I hard-code the command after the else statement, it has no trouble running, but if I substitute the hard-coded command with $1 or $@, I get no new instance of the command. Is there a security mechanism in bash to prevent such command?
if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep $1 > /dev/null;then
wmctrl -xa $1
# works fine if I switch $1 to terminator
The if statement part works fine. I only get one instance of the process as long as I invoke it using this script.
