Mageia Linux
Mageia Linux is a multi-purpose distro based on the Mandriva codebase. A group of former Mandriva engineers started the Mageia project in 2010 as a means to ensure continuing support for the Mandriva community through a non-profit organization free of corporate control.
The venerable Mandriva codebase inherits a long tradition of success and innovation dating back to the early days of Linux. In addition to an appealing collection of applications, Mageia comes with Mandriva's popular collection of configuration tools. The Mageia Control Center offers a simple and intuitive interface for configuring software, networks, users, 3D effects, and parental controls.
Mageia 2 comes with kernel 3.3.6 and includes Pulse Audio 2, GIMP 2.8, and a variety of desktop options.

In this paper, we propose a new linear programming formulation for the decoding of general linear block codes. Different from the original formulation given by Feldman, the number of total variables to characterize a parity-check constraint in our formulation is less than twice the degree of the corresponding check node. The equivalence between our new formulation and the original formulation is proven. The new formulation facilitates to characterize the structure of linear block codes, and leads to new decoding algorithms. In particular, we show that any fundamental polytope is simply the intersection of a group of the so-called minimum polytopes, and this simplified formulation allows us to formulate the problem of calculating the minimum Hamming distance of any linear block code as a simple linear integer programming problem with much less auxiliary variables. We then propose a branch-and-bound method to compute a lower bound to the minimum distance of any linear code by solving a corresponding linear integer programming problem. In addition, we prove that, for the family of single parity-check (SPC) product codes, the fractional distance and the pseudodistance are both equal to the minimum distance. Finally, we propose an efficient algorithm for decoding SPC product codes with low complexity and maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding performance.

Neutrogena Cosmetics Product Review: Mama's Lookin' Good
Since my son was born last November, it's been a tough go looking and feeling pretty - especially during the week. Once I got my vegan chili in the slow cooker, I showered up and got to work on the new makeup. A couple minutes later (literally two minutes, I had a hungry baby waiting on me), I had applied everything and was looking great. I can't wait for my husband to get home and check me out. He'll probably ask me what the occasion is.
Overall, I'd recommend this stuff to friends, especially mom's who only have a minute or two to get themselves together.
Like Neutrogena? Recommend any of their products (or not)? Share below!

How did the MoistureSmooth color stick last over time? I find that a lot of lip colors actually dry my lips out more than going without.ReplyDelete
Hi, Jaime. It was actually a lot like a lip balm in application and the feeling. So, it doesn't feel like a gloss, but smooth like a balm. I wore it for about 3 hours (no eating though) and it lasted the whole time. I didn't feel the need to reapply until that point. I would have liked to have tried a darker color, but the light pink was a really flattering and natural color.ReplyDelete

This project is sponsored by New England Biolabs and carried out in collaboration with Oxfam America.
Asociación Agropecuaria Salvadoreña (AGROSAL) is an agricultural association working to support the rural poor in El Salvador. Its principal goal is to improve agricultural production and food security. In addition to farming and livestock programs, AGROSAL promotes healthier communities through workshops and trainings that empower and educate the families of its members. In 2005, AGROSAL joined forces with Oxfam America and three other development and women's rights organizations to address the vulnerability of women in El Salvador. This gender-based violence prevention network challenges the government to provide better protection; trains and mobilizes women and men to change the machista culture in the country; and raises public consciousness through the media, street theatre and other public events. In 2011, AGROSAL and Oxfam America will be implementing Saving for Change, a community finance program that will further empower women by providing them access to savings and loan services.
Both AGROSAL and Oxfam America see the arts as a valuable way to engage communities in community finance and prevention of violence against women. ArtCorps is collaborating with AGROSAL and Oxfam America to incorporate the arts into their programs, train field staff and build local leadership.
Rural communities in El Salvador frequently do not have access to financial services and when limited resources exit, community members often lack the financial literacy to benefit from them. This makes it difficult for poor families to obtain the capital they need in order to engage in activities that could help them break out of poverty, such as starting a micro-enterprise or buying a few goats.
While many women in El Salvador struggle with extreme poverty, they are also vulnerable to violence. In El Salvador, one out of every three women is a victim of violence. Young women between the ages of 15 and 29 years are most often targeted, typically by male relatives and teachers. Despite growing awareness of violence against women in Latin America, public policies still lack a gender perspective—police and prosecutors continue to use discriminatory terms and practices in cases of murdered women and domestic abuse.
2011: Originally from Alaska, ArtCorps Artist Naphtali Fields recently completed her studies in Bilingual Theater, a degree that combines her passions for writing, theater and Hispanic language and culture. She particularly enjoys working with women and has carried out two extensive projects addressing femininity: one in Chile, the other in Chicago. In El Salvador, ArtCorps Artist Naphtali Fields is focusing her work on advancing the rights of women by strengthening Oxfam's Saving for Change Program and developing local leaders who work to prevent violence against women.
- Youth Leaders Acting for Peace: Naphtali is using theater to cultivate leadership and empower 15 Salvadoran youth. Throughout the year the youth will meet once a week to create plays related to gender violence and other problems they hope to affect in their communities. The youth will present these plays in public spaces as well as schools.
- Women Leaders for Change: In communities where Naphtali works, the women are already organized in their community savings groups; but they lack confidence, self-esteem and leadership. Through bi-monthly creative workshops, these women are building the foundation to be community leaders.
- Uniting Students, Teachers and Parents: Naphtali will be working twice a month in three schools to engage with students, teachers and parents in preventing domestic violence. She will do this by establishing a group of students who will use theater to educate their peers on domestic violence and collaborating with AGROSAL to provide creative and informative workshops for teachers and parents.
- Creative Leadership: Saving for Change Promoters are people who work to educate community members on the benefits of participating in a community savings group. Each month Naphtali will provide workshops that build confidence, cultivate creativity and transfer skills that allow the promoters to better engage community members while conveying important information.
2010: ArtCorps Artist Maria Antonietta Inostroza Garabito, a Chilean theater artist, conducted the pilot for this project. She collaborated with Escena X, a local theater group, strengthening both their capacity to use improv theater and their role in Oxfam's Gender-based Violence Prevention Campaign. Antonietta also trained field staff from Oxfam's partner organizations to integrate Art for Social Action into their education and outreach programs.
- Escena X Theater Group: In support of the Escena X Theater Group, Antonietta worked with youth to develop technical theater skills and produce plays that focus on violence prevention. This theater company will become a resource that Oxfam can utilize to educate and engage communities in sex education and prevention of violence against women.
- In 15 Minutes: In order to contribute to the sustainability of ArtCorps' work, Antonietta trained 10 members of Oxfam's field staff to create and present 15-minute plays about violence prevention throughout the country in the municipalities where they work. This will give Oxfam partners hands-on experience applying creative tools in their programming.

Sweaty armpits.
Kay, so, for the past three years, I've had really sweaty underarms. It's gross. I use antiperspirant/deodorant and I've looked up ways to make it stop; apple cider vinegar didn't do anything, baking soda burned and didn't help, and some even said to stop using deodorant. Nothing helped. Sometimes, if it's really bad one day, I'll even start smelling gross. I can't lift my arms unless I'm wearing a sweatshirt that'll hide the giant sweat stains I get on my shirts, and with summer coming, I can't wear a sweatshirt. I'm just super sick of it. I've been debating telling my mom to make a doctor's appointment, but it's really awkward to talk to her about something like that. Any suggestions? Please?
If antiperspirants don't work, then your only option really is to see your doctor. Don't let embarrassment stop you; your doctor has seen it all before and will be able to help you.
I have the EXACT same problem...well did.
I can give two pieces of advice. One, go to the store and buy Secret Clicical Strength deoderant. It comes in a box and it's one of the most expensive deoderants I've come across (unfortunately) but it WORKS! In order for it to it's full potential read and follow the instructions. You must put it on after showers and before bed. How does it work? The deoderant plugs your sweat glands in your armpits. So by putting in on before bed it'll have more time to settle without sweat getting in the way. This deoderant has SERIOUSLY slowed down the wetness issue A LOT.
BUT I still cannot wear cotton shirts most of the time. Solution? Most of my shirts are made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex. You can find TONS of these kinds of shirts at Ross, and they're cheap there too! Why this fabric? It breathes REALLY well, so if you do still get your shirt wet it dries in no time flat, AND it's EXTREMELY hard to see wet spots.
Hope this helps! And yes, go see a doctor if over-the-counter advice doesn't work out for you. I would, but I'm fine using these two tips as it is, so there's no need for me to go. BE CAREFUL though! If you have sensitive skin be sure to tell your doctor! My brother in law has the same issues and what his doctor perscribed gave him a rash under his arms that hurt something awful. I don't know if there are sensitive options but if there are then the doctor will find something for you.
According to your profile, you're seventeen. You should be able to make an appointment to see your doctor on your own, without having to tell your mum. I was able to do that at sixteen quite easily; dunno if it's different where you are.
If she's American, it is; you need insurance cards for everything, and the only way to get one of those is by going through a parent/guardian; no seventeen-year-old has a health insurance card in their wallet that I know of. So, if she's american, she'd have to go through her mom either way.
And, judging by how she so natually said "mom" instead of "mum", I can assume she is American.
Pharmacist then; at least, at first; otherwise, if they can't prescribe something that works, she's going to have to bite the bullet and talk to her mother. It may seem embarrassing, but I'm sure her mother would understand; she might have well gone thru the exact same thing herself.
If she has a job and no insurance, then she can just pay for the visit.

Hi - I have Akismet spam control activated, but my site is still receiving an outstanding number of spam comments each day. Today I had over 2,000 (this may have been built up from the last three days) and I deleted them all and refreshed the page and had 2 more, then refreshed again and had 2 more!
I checked out my Akismet stats, and it says for the month of September it's detected over 148,000 spam comments!
Any idea what is causing this? Any way to fix it? Does this have a negative impact on my site (ie loading time?)

El Lorax (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Long before saving the Earth became a global concern, Dr. Seuss, speaking through the Lorax, warned against mindless progress and the danger it posed to the planet's natural beauty. Now Seuss's classic cautionary tale is available in an irresistible mini-edition--just perfect for backpack or briefcase.
About the Author
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines.
Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever!
In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills.
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.

Cancer Group Lists Top Treatment Advances for 2005
HealthDay Reporter
Latest MedicineNet News
FRIDAY, Dec. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Science's slow but relentless advance against cancer continued in 2005 with breakthroughs in the treatment of breast, lung, stomach and other killer malignancies.
That was the conclusion of the first-ever annual report on clinical cancer research by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), which was released Friday.
"The take-home message is that we are making steady progress in the management of a wide variety of cancers," ASCO President Dr. Sandra J. Horning told HealthDay at a news briefing in New York City.
"Many of the advances that we described in the report are currently being applied to newly diagnosed cancer patients," Horning said. Others aren't immediately available, "but look extremely promising," she added.
The ASCO report focuses on treatments, not basic science, and was drawn up by a group of 21 experts who reviewed data from studies published in major journals between November 2004 and October 2005.
Their list of the most important breakthroughs includes:
Other notable advances included the success of the drug oxaliplatin in fighting colon cancer recurrence; the use of Rituxan and Bexxar combination therapy against B-cell lymphomas; Revlimid's success in treating killer bone marrow disorders called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS); the use of temozolomide in boosting brain tumor survival; and the success of the drug Erbitux against head and neck cancers, the researchers said.
Many of these drugs fall into the category of "targeted" therapies, in which treatments are tailored to fight specific cancer types and used in patients with specific genetic or immunological profiles.
"This is what we call the 'individualization' of cancer therapy," Horning said. "We're moving toward tailoring treatment for patients, based on a knowledge of their individual tumor and also their genetic predisposition to [drug] toxicity."
But even though research continues to bear fruit every year, some of these drugs come with a high price tag. In fact, a study released earlier this week found that one year's supply of Herceptin could cost $40,000 per patient.
"It's true that the newer, targeted therapies are expensive," Horning said. "That's why it's extremely important for us to learn more about how best to use them, to better understand which patients will clearly benefit. For instance, one of the trials included in this report compared [the effectiveness of] one year vs. two years of Herceptin use. It's by addressing these types of questions scientifically that we can get answers on how best to use these drugs."
Expensive and imperfect as many of these therapies might be, real progress is being made against a wide range of malignancies, Horning added.
"This progress has been the result of an investment in research and the dedication of patients and researchers who've participated in clinical trials -- they've brought about these advances," she said.

My adsl box (the Freebox revolution of the french provider Free) has a hard drive inside which is accessible like a NAS storage.
With my home computer, I can easily access the nas storage using \freebox. With my work laptop (which is joined to a corporate domain), I cannot access the nas storage using \freebox. When I type \freebox in windows explorer, my Windows 7 prevents me this is maybe a attempt to compromise my security, and ask me credentials (there is no credentials required on the nas). If I type directly the IP adress, \192.168.X.X, I can access to the NAS with no problem. If I ping Freebox, the correct IP address is resolved (and is responding).
Do you any clue to solve this problem ?

Skip to comments.Evangelicals and the Coulter affair
Posted on 08/23/2010 4:54:09 PM PDT by Sola Veritas
.................I believe that's what Jesus meant when He told us to love our enemies. The ultimate demonstration of love for a Christian should be to evangelize the lost.
There is no indication Ann Coulter has ever used one of her paid speaking engagements to do this. In fact, I'm not even sure a paid speaking engagement is an appropriate forum for evangelizing.
Nevertheless, I have heard from a few Christians who compare Coulter's paid speaking gig to Homocon with Jesus sitting down with tax collectors and sinners.
That is not good discernment.
Coulter is a political activist, a pundit, a satirist. She is not Jesus. And she is not an evangelist. No one is likely to get saved at Homocon because Ann Coulter gives a conservative stump speech.
What will happen as a result of her appearance is that a compromise will be made with sin. Sin will be condoned or appeased. A conservative icon will find accommodation with a sin that would undermine the foundations of Western civilization, the Judeo-Christian ethic and the most basic biblical standards of sexual morality.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
On this issue, Mr. Farah has taken the high ground. He isn't calling Ms. Coulter names...but she?????
Farah is properly expressing a true conservative evangelical Christian viewpoint. Coulter has not.
You are right,but pride runs Ann
Speaking to sinners is not compromising or appeasing. I guess it would depend on what was said. Maybe we should shun all sinners... which would bring all conversation to an end.
Perhaps Mr. Farah should try living his own life rather than living vicariously through Miss Coulter.
All Ann is doing is giving a speech. That's what she does for a living. She is not an elected official, holds no power, and is not a spokesperson for a religious entity.
BTW - Ann has always been outspoken against the militant homosexual agenda.
Farah is not looking at the bigger picture. He is allowing himself to be a distraction.
I can read that in the Mahabarat or the Bhagavid Gita as well ~ it's the essence of the caste system.
One of the reasons I distrust people who resort to that argument.
Much of what you said is true, but here's something to consider. Just as Ann Coulter has every right to determine which groups she will speak to, doesn't Joseph Farah have the right to determine which viewpoints are espoused at the conference he is arranging? If you don't approve of the speakers he is—or isn't—inviting, then you don't have to go.
This is just a ridiculous, silly sidebar issue that's nothing but a distraction from the overall goal of stopping the Marxist Left.
I can't wait for Ann's Wednesday column that's going to blow Farah away to Timbuktu. The last thing you want to do is get into a fight with Ann. She took on both Liz Cheney and Kristol, for crying out loud.
Everyone you talk to is a sinner.
You miss the larger point. This is a meeting of an avowed homosexual group. They are clearly not repentant. In fact, homosexuality is the cause that drives them, otherwise they would be just another conservative group. I doubt Ann is going there to stand up for Christian truth. More likely, she will speak about political issues and ignore the larger issue of the group's homosexual activism. That gives the group her tacit approval.
Christians aren't supposed to avoid sinners. That is true. Christians also aren't supposed to proselytize someone every time they meet them. BUT, this isn't some chance or private interaction between believer and sinners. It's a speech to a group with the EXPRESS political purpose of normalizing homosexuality, an abomination.
It's deceptive, in my opinion, to frame this as a simple, private interaction between a believer and sinners.
BTW, a lot depends on how Ann handles the meeting. I'm neither fully opposed or in favor of the speech. If she stands up for Christian truth, then she deserves our acclaim. If, on the other hand, she ignores the so called elephant in the room (aka homosexual activism), then she deserves our opposition. I think we should wait to see what she does before we reach a conclusion one way or the other.
Wake me when the holier than thou crowd grows some real stones and attacks the sin of gluttony. Homosexuality is in truth a safe sin to pick on because honestly, they're few in number. We got plenty of fatties though.
What I really don't understand is this need to throw aside good people who are on our side because we are unhappy with one issue. I have supported a lot of politicians and none were ever right on every issue. I have had to compromise. Some are better than others, and if they are right on the most important things, and right on more things than other people, I will support them. Here we are talking about not even a politician but a pundit/commentator, and I will readily concede that though not perfect she is probably right more than she is wrong. She also seems to be right on the big issues. So, what is gained by making her a pariah? And not for a wrong position on an issue even, but for merely talking at an event. I really just don't get it.
I absolutely agree. Farah nailed it with this one. I have lost all respect for Ann Coulter......she is nothing but a RINO to me now in the same camp as Peggy Noonan.
I absolutely agree. Farah nailed it with this one. I have lost all respect for Ann Coulter......she is nothing but a RINO to me now in the same camp as Peggy Noonan.
I absolutely agree. Farah nailed it with this one. I have lost all respect for Ann Coulter......she is nothing but a RINO to me now in the same camp as Peggy Noonan.
going to blow Farah away to TimbuktuYes, she probably will. She's that talented. Far more talented, and powerful, than Farah.
Which is why she should have kept her cool. She wasn't cool on this issue. Normally she's very cool, isn't she?
We've read her columns and books on every conceivable lie and deception of the Liberals, and always, through it all, she's humorous... and she's cool.
But one conservative dares to criticize her and she goes through the ceiling.
It's not important to me the merits of the issue, Farah or Coulter, who is more right, who is more wrong. I'm judging this one soley on behavior.
Farah is staying cool... and polite.
Coulter has gone way way off the deep end in a way she never, ever has against any single liberal or commie on earth.
I think she's becoming unhinged.
Here's a question, Would we all be happier if Rahm Emmanuel spoke to HOMOCON? Isn't everyone better off with Ann speaking to them?
I have learned over many years never to attribute much importance to any person.That certainly applies here. This is a tempest in a teapot. Ann, for all her books, is a little person in the big political scheme of things (I'm just talking US politics, not cosmic meaning) and maybe that's why she hates Farah so much. In some way, he has reminded her of that fact.
He does. I don't disagree with what Farah said. But I do disagree with how he's handling it. A private phone call to Ann would have been the best way to go. Why publicize it knowing that the Left will then use it to highlight some "rift" among conservatives?
So, what is gained by making her a pariah?How is uninviting her to a meeting that she claims now she was never invited to in the first place making her a pariah?
She's the one who flipped out. She's the one who has become unhinged over this.
I actually have no problem with her speaking at the faggot-con... but I also have no problem with Farah uninviting her to his own shindig.
Why did she have to get so freaking emotional about it?
She doesn't get emotional over the thousands of travesties she reports on that the liberals are doing to America... but she gets emotional over this?
Maybe I am misreading what I am hearing then, but it sounds to me like people really are looking to ostracize her. The rhetoric is pretty stern and seems focussed not on just disagreement, but seemingly much more to me. But, again, I may be wrong, and if so then please forget I said anything.
If you consider releasing SELECTED excerpts of private communications to bolster your own point the "high ground", then you might have a point...
Good point! I don't agree with everything Farah or Ann say, but they are both with us far more often than they're against us. That doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss whether a particular act is right or wrong, but it does mean we shouldn't write either of them off. They're both allies.
Are they asking for special rights as a group? This is not the same.
Farah has a right to his opinion. You don't agree with his opinion. Fine. But he has a right to give it and explain. THAT'S called FREEDOM. You back Coulters right to speak to whomever she likes and take their money. Give Farrah the same right.
I actually have no problem with her speaking at the faggot-con... but I also have no problem with Farah uninviting her to his own shindig.
Oh, I agree. He has every right to invite and uninvite. I don't see any problem with that. I was thinking more about the tone on FreeRepublic and other such places in general. That is what confuses me. Somebody up the thread a bit said he/she was "writing her off" and called her a RINO. To me that seems pariah-ish, if you know what I mean. But, again, I really might very well be wrong, as I am just going on what I seem to be picking up on around these forums.
You heard the news that for a very narrow class of girls with indeterminant genitalia they now have a drug that will reduce the incidence of lesbianism.
The rest of it is coming.
In the future there will be no homosexuals ~ they have to prepare for that now and get right with God ~ Who will chose His own prophets as he sees fit.
Coulter is affirming the sin and legitimizing the agenda of GOProud.
I disagree with Coulters choice on Homocon. But I was never a "fan". I don't follow any pundits/commentators.
Theyre both allies.
Absolutely. Given the tiny number of people out there really working for conservative ideas, when compared with the many who are on the other side in the media and such, we really need all we can get. For that reason I don't understand why people are making a big deal out of this. It seems a bad time to start sniping amongst ourselves.
I doubt it because she was likely speaking to conservative groups within those universities.
Of course it's the same. Ann is routinely shouted down and denounced at liberal universities. Liberals don't believe in her free speech rights. Has Farah ever criticized liberals when they did this?
Farah has a right to his opinion.
I disagree with how he communicated said opinion, not the opinion itself.
You don't agree with his opinion. Fine. But he has a right to give it and explain. THAT'S called FREEDOM.
See previous post
You back Coulters right to speak to whomever she likes and take their money. Give Farrah the same right.
Farah has the right to denounce a speech Ann hasn't given yet and then hyberbolically conclude that it's the end of Western Civilization as we know it?
Coulter wields no official power. How is she legitimizing this group?
Didn't President Ronald Reagan once say something to the effect of someone who agrees with me 80% of the time is not my 20% enemy? Ann Coulter does not agree with me 100% of the time (only I agree with me 100% of the time), but that does not make her not a conservative. It just makes her wrong once in a while.
Yeah, i am much the same. She is okay, usually right, but I am not a "fan." As for Romney, well I don't much worry about that. Lots of people picked losers, and there were worse out there than Romney. It seems to me that Coulter is a pragmatist, and I figure the best shot at winning in her book is going to be the course she thinks is best. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she picked Romney simply because she thought he had the best chance to win in that particular race. But, maybe not. And, in any case, I won't second guess her too much on that one. McCain certainly wasn't the best choice, and apparently more people picked him. Go figure.
They're stated mission is all "gay" issues, all the time. Not conservative issues, "gay" issues.
Chairman of the Board, Christopher Barron:
"We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise. My God people."
Twitter Aug 4, 2010 http://twitter.com/
Not true. Her speeches at universities are attended by general audiences who aren't part of the school. The school itself is just the setting, until the leftist disruptors show up.
I'll be interested to see the text of her speech.
Remember what happened when National Review showed her the door for her piece (written after the death of her friend Barbara Olsen on 911) where she calls for converting our enemies to Christianity. No one really cares what Rich Lowry thinks about anything but everyone remembers what Ann had to say.
Farah runs the same risk. I like Ann and I occasionally read Farah. I don't have to choose between them fortunately and I won't. But he didn't have to make a public deal out of all this, he could have handled it like a friend, with a phone call. And if she didn't see it his way, it could have been left out of the public eye.
No, we shouldn't shun all sinners, but, to deliver a speech for money at this type of event does undermine the fact that Jesus asked, "what fellowship does light have with darkness?" When Jesus sat down with sinners, he sure didn't condone their actions nor lend credence to their sinful behavior. He didn't compromise on his Father's righteousness, which I believe is what Ann is doing for the sake of money. IMO, her giving this speech is compromising or appeasing our foundational values system. She is saying what they are promoting is ok because, she a conservative agrees to speak at their gathering.
No. It's not. Universities are not a group that is insisting on special rights based on a deviant behavior.
I disagree with how he communicated said opinion, not the opinion itself.
I disagree with Coulter calling him a fake Christian. Who is recognizing a deviant group by giving a keynote speech?
Farah has the right to denounce a speech Ann hasn't given yet
Farrah has the right to disagree with a "conservative" that has accepted to appear as the keynote speaker at a homosexual convention and referred to herself as the "Judy Garland of the right".
In case you don't get the reference, homosexuals love Judy Garland.
I don't care about Farah and Ann is all about Ann. Always was and always will be. As long as she is being discussed, it's a happy day for her.
I do consider her a poor example of Christinaity but I suppose we all are who profess belief. I just wish she wouldn't climb on her high horse and claim people as "false" Christians when her own personal life has been far from godly. And Ann...homosexuality is a sin. Pretty major one. I don't hate gay people by any means but you can be friends without rationalizing it's really not so bad...
So will the liberals at Homocon denounce her when she slams the unconstitutional "gay" agenda that they promote?
Or will she not denounce their agenda?
So what if she took on Liz Cheney and Billy Kristol? That doesn't maker her decision to speak at this group right. We are to love the sinner, but, not the sin. There has been enough compromise in this country which has served to undermine our belief and values system.
Blow Farah away? Apparently, you don't know the scriptures very well. While she may resort to some snarky comments, Farrah stands on the scriptures, and therefore, Ann is in a p***ing match with God's word. We'll see who wins in that debate.
She is held up a conservative icon. Her appearance gives them legitimacy.
I seriously doubt she is going there to speak to them about the error of their ways. Otherwise, she wouldn't be invited. They don't want to hear that. They want to infiltrate the conservative movement in this country. Remember, it was Eve who was first deceived by the serpent, not Adam. He only went along with her.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop an environmentally friendly, low cost, fine pitch and high reliability flip chip interconnect for the electronic industry. The ultimate goal of this technology is to develop a process that begins with a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) with either aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu) bond pads and results in an IC ready for flip-chip bonding using lead-free solder. The Phase I project will demonstrate printing the under bump metal (UBM) on Cu pads using a combination of nanomaterials and thermally converting the deposit into a solder wetable, layered metal film, and printing the lead free solder bumps on the UBM using a high temperature solder-jet printing technology. The commercial applications of this technology could lead to reduced cost and cycle time for the electronic industry. Flip chip performance and size advantages would be available to low volume applications at minimum entry costs. No photolithography, vacuum processes, plating processes or lead are needed. This not only reduces the manufacturing and facilities cost but also replaces historically hazardous processes (photolithography and plating) with an environmental friendly additive process.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
Legal | Two Iowa men suspected of plotting an armed attack in August against the Pokemon World Championships will stand trial on May 9 in Boston. A pretrial hearing is set for Dec. 30. Kevin Norton, 18, and James Stumbo, 27, have been held since their Aug. 22 arrest on charges of possession of a large-capacity weapon and other crimes. Prosecutors say the two, who allegedly made multiple online threats against the event, drove to Boston with guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in their car. [Ames Tribune]
Graphic novels | The National Arts Council of Singapore has withdrawn a $8,000 publication grant for Sonny Liew's graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, a biography of the Singaporean comics pioneer that depicts some tumultuous events in the nation's history. "We had to withdraw the grant when the book The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye came out because its sensitive content, depicted in visuals and text, did not meet our funding conditions," said Khor Kok Wah, senior director of the literary arts sector of the NAC. He did not specify what the "sensitive content" was, but the book makes satirical references to Singaporean politics and history. The publisher, Epigram, will return the $6,400 that was disbursed already and will cover the NAC's logo on the book cover with a sticker. The book will be published next year in the United States by Pantheon. [Straits Times]
Legal | The Japanese publisher Square Enix has filed a counterclaim against SNK Playmore, asking Osaka District Court to rule that its manga Hi Score Girl doesn't infringe on copyrights held by the video game company. Earlier this year, SNK brought criminal copyright violation charges against Square Enix after learning Hi Score Girl contains more than 100 unauthorized images of characters from SNK Playmore games. The manga has been put on hold because of the dispute. [Anime News Network]
Conventions | Who's buying, and how much are they spending, at conventions? Rob Salkowitz mines the numbers from a recent Eventbrite poll of convention-goers to get some answers: Most people spend between $100 and $500 per person; cosplayers actually spend a bit more than average; and women shell out more money at conventions, while men spend more online.

For its final day, Comic-Con International is keeping the focus on the kids. Today, the biggest con on the calendar revealed its Sunday programming slate, and the traditional kids day of the show lived up to its name.
Publishers will roll out their best all-ages offerings in panels like Oni Press' Monsterpalooza and IDW's Kids Comics spotlight. But so much of the action of the day centers around the creators who will be appearing on a multitude of kid-centric programming including Raina Telgemeier, Jenni Holm, Kazu Kibuishi, Dave Roman, Sonny Liew and Gene Luen Yang. Even the media portion of the con is getting in on the action with a special presentation on the documentary about San Francisco's famed Batkid.
On the traditional convention front, fans can pop in for the annual Jack Kirby Tribute panel or check the latest offerings form publishers like Dynamite Entertainment, Image Comics, Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment and more
Creator-wise there are spotlights on the likes of Chuck Dixon, Jim Rugg, Jim Lee, Graham Nolan, Marc Guggenheim, Kelley Jones and more.
Check out the comics-related highlights below, and pop over to Comic-Con's website for the full schedule.
Though the show has stretched far beyond the traditional weekend confines, Comic-Con International's biggest day remains Saturday. And that was proven true today with the release of Saturday programming for the impending pop culture monolith.
The day comes crammed with every conceivable kind of panel. On the traditional comics publishing front, DC and Marvel both continue their weekend rollouts with a Batman: 75th Anniversary assembly, the traditional Cup O' Joe Q&A and more. Meanwhile, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles get their own anniversary panel to celebrate 30 years while current Turtles publisher IDW keep in step with three panels including a spotlight on Locke & Key creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. BOOM! Studios, Oni Press and Lion Forge round out the more pop culture oriented indies with their own panels while the alt comics world is well covered with spotlights on Drawn And Quarterly, Fantagraphics and Abrams ComicArts.
On the media side, Marvel Studios captures its traditional Saturday night spot in Hall H (where we'd wager and Avengers reunion is on tap) while earlier in the day, Warner Bros. brings a look at Mad Max, The Hobbit and the latest Wachowskis film (though curiously absent from the official list is any presentation on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). The media offerings also have a particular "Saturday Morning Cartoons" feel with spotlights on kids fare like Phineas & Ferb,Regular Show and Steven Universe.
Creator-wise, there's a broad selection of comics talents on hand including Don Rosa, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Drew Friedman, Berkeley Breathed, Jim Steranko, Lucy Knisley, Mimi Pond, J. Micahel Straczynski and Saga creators Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples.
Check out the comics-related highlights below, and pop over to Comic-Con's website for the full schedule.
In honor of the 10th issue of Intruder, a quarterly comics paper available for free around Seattle, Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery will host an art exhibit featuring the work of Intruder contributors.
The exhibit will kick off with an opening this Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m., where comic books, graphic novels and zines by the individual creators will be available for purchase. In addition, Lori Goldston, the cellist who played with Nirvana in their famous Nirvana: Unplugged performance, and Kyle Hanson will provide "atmospheric music" during the party. The event is free to the public with adult beverages supplied by Seattle's Hilliard's Beer.
Legal | It looks as if Tunisian cartoonist Jabeur Mejri will not be released from prison any time soon, despite being pardoned by President Moncef Marzouki for charges stemming from his cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed. It turns out that the mysterious other criminal case that's been holding things up is a charge of embezzlement that dates back a few years to when Mejri was working for the Tunisian railways. Neither Mejri's lawyer nor his family had been aware of the charge, but the judge in the case issued a warrant for Mejri's continued detention on Jan. 9. His lawyer will submit a bail request, which he hopes will be granted next week. [Independent Online]

Not many comics can say they made their debut during a brunch, but then again, not many comics are created by Jeff Smith.
The creator of Bone and RASL will attend a benefit brunch for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Kids' Right to Read program at the Society of Illustrators in New York City on Nov. 10, where he will unveil his newest project, an all-ages webcomic called Tuki Save the Humans!. Smith joined the CBLDF board earlier this month, and revealed he was working on the project at WonderCon last spring.
"… this is a story of the first human being to leave Africa, and all the forces of Africa are conspiring to keep him from doing it," Smith told CBR's Kiel Phegley at WonderCon. "I think it'll be fun. There'll be sabertooth tigers and other humanoids and Gods and things. It's going to be a lot of fun."
The charity brunch begins at 11:30 a.m., and the performance will begin at 12:30 p.m., to be followed by Q&A, an auction and viewing time in the Society's galleries. More information and ticket pricing can be found on the CBLDF website.
Art and music collide in San Francisco this weekend as cartoonist Jim Woodring teams with jazz musician Bill Frisell for "a delightful live multi-media collaboration." Woodring will join Frisell on Saturday for both an evening and matinee performance, in which Woodring will create live digital illustrations, projected on Miner Auditorium's large video screen, to accompany and inspire the music.
This isn't the first time the duo has collaborated: Frisell provided the soundtrack for Woodring's Trosper, published in 2002 by Fantagraphics.
The matinee begins at 2 p.m., and the evening performance at 7:30 p.m. You can find more details on the SFJazz website.
Inspired by R. Sikoryak and Art Spiegleman's Narrative Corpse, The Unsinkable Walker Bean creator Aaron Renier started The Infinite Corpse, a "chain" webcomic in which various creators tell the story of a skeleton's crazy adventures by building off the three panels of the cartoonist who preceded them. The chains aren't exactly linear, with the final website being more of a "choose your own adventure" story with branches going off in different directions.
"Each additional artist became a branch off of the original group … until it just became a fog of story lines a gigantic 205 artists were included when the website went live," Renier explained on his blog. "And now, only a few months later we have over a hundred new artists sending in art. It's open to submissions, just like the dry erase comic. It's open to everyone who wants to do it. And open to all of those who already have gone before."

With the Boston Comic Con being postponed due to the lockdown that was in place until last night as police searched for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, several area comic shops are holding impromptu events this weekend with various creators. Here's a rundown if you're looking for something to do in Boston today, and if we missed any, please let us know in the comments section:
• As noted in CBR yesterday, Larry's Comics in Lowell, Mass. is hosting a mini-con — Slum-Con? — featuring Mike Choi, Sean Gordon Murphy, Cesar Feliciano and many more. Check out the shop's Twitter feed for a live stream of the event.
• Comicazi in Davis Square, Somerville, has announced that it will host a "Not-The-Boston-Comic-Con Get-Together," with guests Tim Seeley, Tim Sale, Don Rosa, Agnes Garbowska, David Mack, Ming Doyle, Erica Henderson, and possibly some others on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Friendly Neighborhood Comics in Bellingham will have a meet-the-artists event featuring Carlos Pacheco, Craig Rousseau, Kelly Yates, and others from 12-4 p.m. on Saturday.
• Studios at Porter Mills, in Beverly, will host a Beverly Comic Con from 4-9 p.m. on Saturday. "Tons of artists on hand (including many that would have been at Comic con) and a few special guests!"

This March marks the 35th anniversary of the publication of Will Eisner's influential graphic novel A Contract with God, and to celebrate, the Will and Ann Eisner Family Foundation is hosting a 10-day series of events in more than a dozen cities. The theme is one that's worth getting behind — "Read a Graphic Novel."
"This year, we will be having Will Eisner Week celebrations in more places than ever before," said Will Eisner Week Organizing Committee Chair Danny Fingeroth in a press release. "The people doing the events are planning some amazing happenings that will spread the word about how cool graphic novels are, and that celebrate Will Eisner's astonishing body of work done over a career that spanned seven decades."
Events will take place across America, from Oregon to Arkansas to New York, and will include panels at cons, guest lectures and readings, and screenings of Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist. Check out the event poster and schedule below.
Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley and artist Kevin Tong have created a movie poster for the cult film Battle Royale in conjunction with Mondo and Tugg Inc.
Mondo is the T-shirt/limited edition print arm of the Alamo Drafthouse, which creates really awesome but also really hard-to-get prints for various films. (check some of their past ones out right here). Tugg Inc., meanwhile, is "a web-platform that enables individuals to choose the films that play in their local theaters and create their own events." Which sounds pretty cool, if you've got the time and energy to pursue it. They've recently added Battle Royale to their library, meaning you can create an event in your town and get your hands on some of these posters to give away at it. Or if you're in Houston, there's one scheduled for Feb. 16.
Check out the poster and the variant edition below, along with the complete press release.

The unlimited proliferative and differentiative capacities of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are tightly regulated by their microenvironment. Local concentrations of soluble factors, cell-cell interactions and extracellular matrix signaling are just a few variables that influence ESC fate. A common method employed to induce ESC differentiation involves the formation of cell aggregates called embryoid bodies (EBs), which recapitulate early stages of embryonic development. EBs are normally formed in suspension cultures, producing heterogeneously shaped and sized aggregates. The present study demonstrates the usage of a microfluidic traps system which supports prolonged EB culturing. The traps are uniquely designed to facilitate cell capture and aggregation while offering efficient gas/nutrients exchange. A finite element simulation is presented with emphasis on several aspects critical to appropriate design of such bioreactors for ESC culture. Finally, human ESC, mouse Nestin-GFP ESC and OCT4-EGFP ESCs were cultured using this technique and demonstrated extended viability for more than 5 days. In addition, EBs developed and maintained a polarized differentiation pattern, possibly as a result of the nutrient gradients imposed by the traps bioreactor. The novel microbioreactor presented here can enhance future embryogenesis research by offering tight control of culturing conditions.

SWEDEN: Geely and Volvo Cars cooperate on new R&D centre
By Dave Leggett | 20 February 2013
Geely Holding, majority owner of Volvo Car Corporation and Geely, has said it will establish a Research and Development Centre in Gothenburg for use by both Volvo Cars and Geely.
The new centre will develop a new modular architecture and set of components for future C-Segment cars, addressing the needs of both Volvo Cars and Geely. It will be run by Mats Fägerhag, currently Vice President at Product Strategy within Volvo Cars, and "leverage on the Volvo technology leadership within Geely Holding".
The new R&D centre will employ approximately 200 full-time employees.
"Our group has ambitious goals to increase the competitiveness of our brands," said Geely Chairman Li Shufu. "Geely will continue to improve its product quality in the years to come and can learn from Volvo Cars. However, the sharing of knowledge and technology has to be done without jeopardizing brand integrity and individual product development. We believe a stand-alone, yet joint R&D centre with a focused approach is the best way to achieve this."
"An international team has been given the task of taking cross-brand modular strategy to a new level. It should deliver on all the premium aspects a brand like Volvo requires in order to grow in the global premium segment. Geely shall meet the demands of the high volume segment in China and selected international markets, which requires a new level of technology," added Li Shufu.
The new R&D facility will be located in Gothenburg (Lindholmen Science Park). The centre will employ approximately 200 full-time engineers from Sweden and China. Recruitments of engineers are ongoing and the centre will be fully operational towards the end of 2013, Volvo said.
Mats Fägerhag, CEO of the new R&D centre, said: "The modular design allows several different vehicle platforms to be developed from one single architecture, thereby ensuring tailor-made solutions for both brands. This will be a showcase for cooperation between a Western world premium car manufacturer and a thriving Chinese automotive company."
"With Geely as a partner, we secure that Volvo Cars will be in full control of the development of our next generation C-Segment cars. We will not have to compromise in a way that is inevitable when partnering with an external OEM," said Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research & Development at Volvo Cars.
Mats Fägerhag and his team will be supported by senior executives from the managements of Volvo Cars and Geely. Carl-Peter Forster, chief advisor to Geely Holding and member of the Board of Directors at Volvo Cars, will ensure that the development of the modular architecture and set of components will meet the individual brands' specific requirements for different cost and attribute levels.
In parallel, the development of the Volvo Cars architecture for larger segments (SPA) continues within Volvo Cars' own R&D organisation. The first SPA vehicle will be launched in 2014.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - American Eagle, which operates regional flights for American Airlines, is changing its name to Envoy.
Eagle said Tuesday that the change will be made this spring to give the airline its own identity.
The American Eagle name isn't going away. The Fort Worth-based American Airlines Group Inc., formed by December's merger of American and US Airways, will use the brand for feeder flights that are provided by 10 different regional carriers.
The airline said it picked Envoy after looking at more than 1,000 names and getting comments from employees.
Envoy's planes will still be painted in the colors and logo - livery, in airline terminology - of American Eagle. A tagline, "Operated by Envoy," will be added to planes and passenger tickets.

Lacrosse Magazine, owned and published by US Lacrosse, the national governing body of men's and women's lacrosse, is circulated to more than 430,000 members of the organization as one of the benefits of membership. Join Today!
The US Lacrosse Accident Plans provide coverage for Accidental Injuries to members as a result of their participation in a covered lacrosse activity. The Accident Plans are comprised of two policies: the Basic Accident Insurance policy and the Catastrophic Accident policy.
These coverages are a benefit of membership and are intended to provide supplemental insurance coverage to help defray medical, dental and hospital expenses that members may incur while participating in lacrosse activities. This is not a healthcare plan and is not intended to cover 100% of expenses for which a member may be responsible. In addition, please note that these plans do not cover sickness, bodily illness or disease. It is strongly recommended that all lacrosse participants have their own primary healthcare or medical insurance in place.
The two policies combine to provide $1 million in Accident Medical coverage to US Lacrosse members. The first policy, Basic Accident Insurance, provides coverage up to a $100,000 Medical Expense Limit. The second policy, Catastrophic Accident, covers claims that exceed $100,000 within 2 years from the date of injury and provides coverage from that point up to a $1 million limit.
The Accident policy protects the following while participating in covered activities: all currently registered member players, coaches and officials; and those insured as non-members under the programs insured individually under the US Lacrosse Event Insurance plan.
The Basic Accident Insurance policy pays the reasonable and customary charges for a covered accidental injury to an insured member, if that injury requires treatment by a legally qualified physician, dentist or graduate nurse; confinement in a hospital; ambulance service from the site of the injury to the initial treatment facility; and services and supplies ordered by a physician.
Accidental Injury is defined as "a sudden, unexpected and unintended event which is identifiable and caused solely by an external physical force resulting in injury to the insured person." This policy does not cover claims arising out of sickness, bodily illness or disease, such as cardiac arrest, asthma or stroke. However, the Accidental Death Benefit has been extended by US Lacrosse to provide coverage for members who suffer a fatal Cardiac or Circulatory (Stroke) event during a lacrosse activity.
To be eligible for coverage under the Basic Accident policy, the first medical or dental expense must be incurred within 60 days of the date of injury; and any further expense must be incurred within two years of the date of injury. Claims are paid on a "reasonable and customary basis" by geographic area (by zip code) where treatment is rendered.
All Accident claims must be filed within 90 days of injury to be eligible for payment. For claims covered by your primary insurance company, you must also file the claim with Bollinger as soon as it practicable (i.e once payment has been made by your primary insurance company).
Medical Expense Limit - $100,000
Accidental Death Benefit - $20,000 (includes cardiac/circulatory coverage*)
Accidental Dismemberment Benefit - $20,000
Deductible for Adult Male Players - $3,000 per claim
Deductible for All Other Participants - $1,000 per claim (youth, HS, adult women, coaches, & officials)
Physical Therapy/Chiropractic limit - $2,000 (subject to $50 max per visit)
Durable Medical Equipment Limit - $2,500
Benefit Period - 104 weeks from date of injury
Game Fee Reimbursement (for officials only) - up to $200 per game, subject to $7,500 maximum per policy term
*Cardiac/Circulatory Coverage: If a member dies within 48 hours of a Cardiac or Circulatory (Stroke) incident during a covered activity, this policy's Accidental Death Benefit will be paid to the member's family. This policy does not provide any other coverage for sickness or illness. Therefore, no benefits for any medical expenses incurred as a result of the cardiac or circulatory incident are payable by the US Lacrosse Accident plan.
Full Excess Coverage means that the policy will pay for covered expenses as a result of an accidental injury, after any other applicable insurance policy or any other health care or employee benefit plan has paid out its benefits.
If the claimant has no health or medical coverage, or if the claimant is covered by Medicare or Medicaid, the Basic Accident policy will pay benefits on a primary basis, after the deductible has been taken.
Deductible: The deductible under this policy applies to each claim regardless of payments made or deductibles taken by other (primary) insurance.
Officials' Game Fee Reimbursement: In addition to the Accident Policy benefits, officials are covered for Game Fee Reimbursement, to cover lost fees if they are prevented from officiating due to injury while officiating. Only fees for missed lacrosse games are payable by the policy and the official must have been injured while officiating lacrosse in order for coverage to apply.
When submitting a claim for the Game Fee Reimbursement Benefit, in addition to the information required to file a claim, member officials must include the following: a schedule of the games they were assigned to officiate, and written confirmation of their fee (compensation) from their assignor(s). Claims for Game Fee benefits can not be paid without this written information from the assignor.
The Accident policies cover only those medical/dental expenses arising out of Accidental Injuries that occur during covered activities. The policies do not provide coverage for claims arising out of sickness, illness or bodily conditions.
In addition, these policies do not cover any loss, fatal or non-fatal, incurred or resulting from the following:

All claims are handled and paid by RPS Bollinger, insurance administrator for US Lacrosse.
This summary is a brief description only of the coverages, conditions and exclusions of the policy, and in no way affects or alters the scope of coverage provided. For the full details of terms and limitations, please refer to the actual policy. which is made available for review at the US Lacrosse National Office in Baltimore, Md.
