i want to move logs files from one path(source path) to another path(destination path). This source path and destination path is present in one text file. as::
so i read this file and stored paths in different variables.i have multiple source path so i stored it in a varible which acts as array. as below::
sourcePaths=`grep source_path myfile |cut -d= -f2`
destPath=`grep destination_path myfile |cut -d= -f2`
and i have only one destination path where i want to move all these files. Now i want to travel through all these source path, find the logs file with specific extension, zip these all files and move to destination path. i use loop to retrieve data from sourcePaths variable(this is just trial). as:;
for i in $sourcePaths
echo $i
Can anybody help me in this.
Thanks a lot for your reply Guys.Now i want to add some filter in this. I want to move files from Source path which are 10 days old,and i want to delete these files from source path after moving. Please help
Just one more question!! What if i want to store this zip file with name which contain time stamp,so that there will be no duplication of file name at destination path.
Hi All,one more question.When i am zipping the file with above option,it is creating subfolder in zip file according to its path.ie. if i am zipping logs files from src/int/xlog/abc, and when i unzip this zip file,these newly craeted zip file contents logs files in src/int/xlog/abc/abc.zip. i dont want this.what i want is that this zip file directly content abc.zip. Not in sub folder.
Hi Guys, i am back with one more question.Here using below script i am able to create filename of zip as base pathname.e.g.xyz.zip and abc.zip as per my above given path using below code::
timestamp=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`
zipFile=$destPath/$(basename $sourcePath).$timestamp.zip
But now i want to create this file name(i.e.Zip file name) more specific depends on its source path.Like if my text file contents
Now i want to create zip file name something like this.
means i want to use last three directory name to create new zip file name. It is provided that source path in text file contents more than three directory name.
So can anybody help me in this. Thnaks in advance!!!

Stevenson Chills as Blackbeard on "Black Sails," Describes Characters as Weapons
"Punisher: War Zone's" Ray Stevenson talks bringing the infamous pirate to life on Starz, fight choreography and his terrifying Dr. Seuss reading.
"Punisher: War Zone's" Ray Stevenson talks bringing the infamous pirate to life on Starz, fight choreography and his terrifying Dr. Seuss reading.
It has the classy car, a cool operator and devil-may-care attitude, but the "Transporter" reboot doesn't hold a candle to the Jason Statham original.
The "Thor" and "Punisher: War Zone" veteran talks with SPINOFF about his latest role, starring opposite of Samuel L. Jackson in the action thriller "Big Game."
The "Transporter" franchise reboot loses Jason Statham but gains Ray Stevenson as Frank Martin's dad.
The "Thor" and "Punisher: War Zone" actor will debut as the legendary pirate when the Starz drama returns for its third season in 2016.
"Game of Thrones" alum Ed Skrein replaces Jason Statham as Frank Martin in the reboot of the hit action franchise.
The fate of the U.S. president is in the hands of a 13-year-old boy with a bow and arrow in the upcoming action-adventure.
Director Jon M. Chu's boisterous sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation embraces the camp and fun of the Hasbro universe, rebooting the franchise with a stellar new cast and a script that rewards longtime fans.
Paramount International has released a pair of new trailers for Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe: Retaliation, starring Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis and more. The film opens March 28.
Sporting the requisite Van Dyke, Chuck star Zachary Levi has confirmed he's been cast as Fandral in Marvel's Thor sequel, replacing Josh Dallas as one-third of the Warriors Three.
In a last-minute decision, Paramount Pictures has moved the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation from June 29 — that's next month — to March 29, 2013, so the sequel can be converted to 3D.
Paramount Pictures has released the final posters for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, director Jon M. Chu's follow-up to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The film, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, D.J. Cotrona, Ray Park and Adrianne Palicki, opens June 29.

I have a simple problem from calculus topics. Suppose we have
$$x=at^2,\qquad y=2at$$ and want to find $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}$. There is given sample http://www.mathopolis.com/questions/a.php?id=137&ansno=957 I think that the answer is zero but here it is equal D why?
I have a simple problem from calculus topics. Suppose we have
You are not taking the derivative of $y$ with respect to $t$, you are taking the derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$.
Now, by the Chain Rule we have that $$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{dy}{dx}\frac{dx}{dt},$$ or, equivalently (solving for $\frac{dy}{dx}$), $$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\quad\frac{dy}{dt}\quad}{\frac{dx}{dt}}.$$ Therefore, since $\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(2at) = 2a$, and $\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(at^2) = 2at$, then $$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2a}{2at} = t^{-1}.$$
Now you can repeat: from the Chain Rule we have $$\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = \Biggl(\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)\Biggr)\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\frac{dx}{dt}.$$ Solving for $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$, we get $$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{\quad\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)\quad}{\frac{dx}{dt}};$$ since $\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = \frac{d}{dt}(t^{-1}) = -t^{-2}$, we have: $$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{-t^{-2}}{2at} = -\frac{1}{2at^3},$$ which is answer D in the given link.
Observe that $y^2 = 4ax$
Then $2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 4a$
So $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2a}{y}$ [A]
Then $\frac{\mathrm d^2 y}{\mathrm dx^2} = \frac{-2a}{y^2} \frac{dy}{dx} =$ (using [A]) $-\frac{4a^2}{y^3} = -\frac{4a^2}{8a^3t^3} = -\frac{1}{2at^3}$
A slightly different approach not using the chain rule explicitly:
From $x=at^2$ you have $$t=a^{-1/2}x^{1/2}$$ so with $y=2at$ you have $$y =2 a^{1/2}x^{1/2}$$ so taking the derivative with respect to $x$ $$\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=a^{1/2}x^{-1/2}$$ and doing it again and reusing $x=at^2$ $$\frac{\mathrm d^2 y}{\mathrm dx^2}=-\frac{1}{2} a^{1/2}x^{-3/2}=-\frac{1}{2a t^3}. $$
Here, you use the fact that
$$\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}}$$
Since you're doing second derivatives, you need a further differentiation:
$$\frac{\mathrm d^2 y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^{-1}\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\frac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}}$$
and this is the formula you should be using (replace $x$ and $y$ with the appropriate expressions).
I'm not sure what else to add to the explanation provided in your link. I think the key to understanding this question is the statement $$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\quad\tfrac{dy}{dt}\quad}{\tfrac{dx}{dt}},$$ which follows from the chain rule: $$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{dy}{dx}\cdot\frac{dx}{dt}.$$ Do you understand why this is true?

I Won't Buy Toys. Unless I Really Want Them.
STEVE: This is uncomfortable for me, but it's time we talked about adult toys.
The kind we can talk about, I mean: the nonessentials in our golf bags and cellphone cases, in our kitchens and garages.
Grown-ups' toys are a parent-teen money issue, I'd argue, because we send signals to our children about financial behavior when we buy big-screen TVs or iPhones or new cars.
It's an uncomfortable issue because I'm conflicted: My upbringing makes frugality my dominant instinct, but I also like gadgets, tools, cameras and other indefensibles.
That inner conflict got tougher after the kids arrived -- I now had somebody watching me. Just now, for example, I'd like a pro-grade digital SLR camera, and I've been lusting after a nice used BMW R100RS motorcycle. But both would be toys, mostly; what message would buying them send Levi and Isaac?
My parents didn't have many toys and didn't have to justify the ones they had. For my dad, it was cameras. He made a hobby of scouring pawn shops, stretching his missionary salary for deals on the used Nikon lenses he brought back to our home in Japan. Dad's growing collection didn't seem like consumption to me because he enriched our lives with the slides he took to record our family history.
My more-affluent circumstances have made me feel I need to lay out guidelines and rationalizations for my kids. Among them:
- Don't turn necessities into toys. A car is a tool, I've told them; buy anything nicer than a midrange Honda and you're buying a toy.
- Toys that save money are more virtuous than ones that don't. When I bought myself new skis six years ago, I calculated for Isaac how this would save money over renting (leaving aside the fact that skiing itself is conspicuous consumption).
- If you have a toy that's good enough, don't be tempted by something better. Our 11-year-old stereo is a little outdated. But it plays CDs and the radio just fine; so, no, we won't get a new one, I've told any son who asks.
- Buy toys that won't lose value. When my eldest, Luke, got interested in machining at age 15, I bought an old South Bend 10K lathe and a Clausing 8520 mill that came from a retired machinist. "These are investments," I rationalized them to Luke, "because they'll save us money, and I'm sure we can sell them for more than we paid 10 years from now."
- Buy toys that enrich others' lives, too. My camera bag, stocked with Nikon toys like my dad's, has helped fill three decades of family photo albums.
None of these guidelines explain my indiscretions. There are the expensive micrometer calipers I thought our workshop needed but go unused, the pricey bicycle I seldom ride and the windsurfer I bought that has rested in peace under our deck since 2002.
I just hope my sons will look beyond these failures when they face their own adult-toy temptations.
ISAAC: There are lots of things I would love to buy. There's the spiffy new wheels for my bike, for instance, and the new iPod to replace my 2002 version. There's the new cellphone to replace my three-year-old model. But while I can afford all of these things, they aren't worth draining my savings account for, so I'm holding off.
The same seems to be true with Luke and Levi. Besides the $1,500 motorcycle Luke bought and fixed up last year, neither of them seems to spend much, if anything, on toys. Much of this can probably be credited to Mom and Dad's parenting.
So you can relax a little, Dad -- I think it's safe to say that my brothers and I haven't grown up toy-addicted.
But face it: We're not fanatics, any more than you are (even though you obviously would like to be fanatical about it). Just like you, we buy some toys, and then find rationalizations for them. The road bike I recently bought helps me get around campus faster and allows me to break outside the campus bubble. In high school, I coughed up for a used electric guitar and amp, which I used daily to practice music and play music with friends. And then there was the snowboarding gear I bought, mostly used, that would cut down on rental costs and last me for years.
But I know these rationalizations only go so far. The truth is that my parents have taught me, through example, not to buy anything just because it is appealing. I've learned that it's important to deliberate, to rationally weigh whether something is really worth the money. To think before I buy.
But they also taught me, through example, that buying some toys, even if they aren't necessary at all, is OK if they have a high payback in education or entertainment.
In the end, I can say that buying costly snowboarding equipment will cut down on the costs of hitting the slopes, or that it will increase the quality of the experience. But snowboarding simply is not a prudent use of my money, however I try to justify it. That's OK, though. Because it sure is fun.
So I think my parents have done a pretty good job in modeling consumer deliberation. But I also think that it's important to acknowledge that a given object for entertainment may be an unnecessary toy, but it's still a worthwhile addition to your life. If I only sparingly buy things that fall into this category, then I should be OK.

I had seen this flatware in the restaurant of a hotel and really liked it, so I tracked it down on Tundra. Paid a very fair price, received fast shipping and I love the product. It looks great, it is well sized and looks really good on the dinner table. I may have to order more!
Service and delivery comments:
You had a well priced product and very fair shipping and handling costs. I was impressed with the speed of delivery and would highly recommend you.

Lewisburg Rotary Banquet & New Member Induction
On Friday night, April 17th, a special Rotary Banquet was held at Saddle Creek Golf Club.
The evening was kicked off by Amy Irvin, President of the Lewisburg Rotary. In addition to dinner, the program consisted of a historical overview of the Lewisburg Rotary Club by Edmund Roberts, which dated back to 1923. Donna Roberts provided an overview of Rotary International and explained how Rotary, along with key partners, has been able to reduced polio cases by 99 percent worldwide.
A highlight of the evening was an inspirational speech provided by Ki Hyon Kim (Kim Kim), Rotary District Governor District 6760, of how Rotary has impacted his life and as a result allowed him to impact the lives of others.
Another key event of the evening was the induction of several new members by Clay Derryberry.
Clay provided an analogy of the Robert Frost poem, "The Road Not Taken" to the commitment of Rotarians of "Service Above Self". Frost wrote "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
New members inducted were Eric Michael, Mike Keny, Jennifer Pearson, Norma Cross, Julie Johnson, Susan Vanhooser, Lynn Stocstill and Andrea Rogers

Early Afghan Election Results Set Candidates Posturing
Initial results from Afghanistan's April 5 presidential election show two candidates — Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani — far ahead of their rivals. Election officials released the figures Sunday, based on less than 7 percent of the total vote.
Though the sample released Sunday represented a small fraction of the estimated 7 million votes cast, that hasn't stopped the leading candidates from posturing about the final outcome, as NPR's Sean Carberry reports from Kabul:
"The initial results show opposition leader Abdullah Abdullah holding a narrow lead over former finance minister Ashraf Ghani. All of the other candidates are lagging far behind.
"Election officials caution that the results will shift as more of the votes are tabulated, but a confident Abdullah says he will be the winner.
"Ghani claims that's like declaring victory 10 minutes into a 100-minute game. He says that election officials must continue counting and evaluating the hundreds of serious allegations of fraud.
"The certified results aren't expected until mid-May. Analysts say it's unlikely either candidate will get more than 50 percent, resulting in a runoff between the two."
As of today, Abdullah holds the lead with 41.9 percent and Ghani has 37.6 percent, according to Afghan news agency Khaama Press.
A runoff would also bring a chance for the main candidates to form allegiances with other political groups, including their rivals.
Saying that he hopes to create an "inclusive government," Abdullah told Reuters, "we are in contact not with just one candidate, but also other candidates and politicians in the country."

Hyundai has revealed the new Hyundai ix25 compact SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. The ix25 is expected to go on sale later this year for the Chinese-market only.
The design of the ix25 is remarkably similar to the larger ix35, featuring wrap around headlights and grooved bonnet.
The six-point grille has also been carried over, minus a slim central bar running just beneath the badge. Other changes include slightly larger front air intakes and a chrome-look skid plate.

Asia Stocks Mixed After Fed Move
HONG KONG--Asian stocks ended mixed Wednesday, with property developers driving Hong Kong shares to a fresh five-month high. Japanese exporters fell on the yen's strength after the Federal Reserve said Tuesday it was ready to do more to recharge the U.S. economy.
The Nikkei Stock Average finished 0.4% lower, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.2%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 0.2%, and India's Sensex fell 0.9% in afternoon trading a day after it ended at its highest level since January 2008. Markets in China, Taiwan and South Korea were shut for public holidays.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 33 points in screen trade.
Japanese exporters declined as the yen strengthened to its highest levels against the U.S. dollar in a week. All eyes are on Japanese authorities to see whether they will step into the markets to weaken the yen again.
"The focus remains on how long the impact of last week's (Japanese government's foreign exchange market) intervention will last," said Hisatsune Kobayashi, senior market analyst at Nikko Cordial Securities. "It's hard for the market to be positive when 84 (for dollar/yen) is in sight, so profit-taking may set in.
Among exporters, Fanuc was down 0.7% and Canon lost 1.2%.
Sharp advanced 1.3% after the company announced it had agreed to buy California-based solar-power developer Recurrent Energy for up to $305 million.
"It's positive the company is actively buying overseas assets on the back of the stronger yen and looking beyond its LCD business," said Hiroaki Osakabe, fund manager at Chibagin Asset Management.
Hong Kong shares pulled higher for a fourth straight session on the back of property shares after the Fed said it will keep interest rates low for an extended period. Interest rates in Hong Kong, where the currency is pegged to the U.S. dollar, move in tandem with benchmark U.S. policy rates.
Shares of Sun Hung Kai Properties advanced 1.8%, Sino Land Co. rose 2% and Henderson Land Development Co. climbed 2.6%.
Indian shares lost ground after rising in 10 of the previous 11 sessions, with most technology stocks dropping after an overnight drop on Nasdaq. Shares of Infosys Technologies gave up 1.8% and Tata Consultancy Services shed 1.9%.
But shares of Satyam Computer Services jumped 12% and its majority owner Tech Mahindra climbed 6.5%, ahead of Satyam's board meeting Sept. 29 to consider its audited financial results.
In Sydney, Telstra fell 2.2% to finish at a multi-year low of 2.66 Australian dollars ($2.53).
"You've got a 10% yield on a stock that's going nowhere...money is being rotated to the banks because they have more chance of capital growth and yield, whereas the chances of capital growth in Telstra are pretty low in the short term," said Southern Cross Equities Director Charlie Aitken.
Elsewhere in Asia, New Zealand's NZX 50 ended flat and Philippine stocks shed 0.8%. In afternoon trade, Indonesian shares fell 0.7%, Singapore's Straits Times Index was flat and Thailand's SET Index rose 0.7%.
In foreign exchange markets, the U.S. dollar drifted below the key 85 yen level as the dollar weakened in the wake of the Federal Open Market Committee's statement Tuesday.
"Since people are now on guard for the possibility of further Japanese intervention, the important thing (for intervention to succeed) will be the size of any move," in addition to the level at which authorities act, said Yuichiro Harada, senior foreign exchange dealer at Mizuho Corporate Bank.
The dollar was recently buying 84.76 yen, from 85.07 yen in late New York trade Tuesday. The euro rose as high as 113.14 yen and was at 112.79 yen from 112.75 yen in New York. The single currency was fetching $1.3299 from $1.3247.
The broad dollar weakness was driving regional currencies higher, with the Malaysian ringgit posting a fresh 13-year high against the dollar, while the Singapore dollar marked a new record high and the Australian dollar pulled to a 26-month high during the session.
More recently, the U.S. dollar fell to 3.09 ringgit, from 3.10 ringgit late in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday and to 1.3278 Singapore dollars from S$1.3336 late Tuesday in Singapore. The Australian dollar rose as high as 95.83 cents and was recently at 95.38 cents.
Lead December Japanese government bond futures were up 0.27 at 142.65 points while the benchmark 10-year JGB yield was down 0.02% at 1.025% after earlier falling to a three-week low at 1%.
The 10-year yield may fall to 0.950% in coming sessions, as the dovish FOMC statement Tuesday fueled speculation that the Fed was likely to take further easing action ahead and force the Bank of Japan to follow suit, said Chotaro Morita, head of Japan fixed income strategy research at Barclays Capital.
Spot gold was at 1,288.60 per troy ounce, up $1.80 from its New York close. November Nymex crude oil futures were down three cents at $74.94 per barrel on Globex.

Google, Yahoo Among Top Ad Networks on Illegal Download Sites, Study Says
A new report sheds greater light on the companies that place ads on illegal music web sites -- and it has a couple very familiar names, Google and Yahoo!.
A study by the Annenberg Innovation Lab at the University of Southern California released its first monthly report on Wednesday that details the top online ad networks used to place advertisements on illegal download sites. The list was created using the domains with the most takedown requests at Google's Transparency Report.
The report's top ten are:
1. Openx, a Pasadena-based company backed by Accel Partners, Index Ventures and SAP Ventures. It claims to have served over 1 trillion ad impressions in 2011.
2. Google (Including Double Click)
3. Exoclick, a Barcelona-based company that claims to have had 1.8 billion impressions per day in 2011
4. Sumotorrent
5. Propeller Ads Media, a UK-based advertising network.
6. Yahoo! (including Right Media, an ad exchange Yahoo! acquired in 2007)
7. Quantcast, a San Francisco-based company backed by Founders Fund, Cisco Systems, Polaris Venture Partners, Revolution Ventures and Allen & Company. [On February 25 Annenberg updated its report to say Quantcast was incorrectly indentified as a top infringing ad network. According to Annenberg Labs, Quantcast undertakes "extensive efforts" to maintain a global block list of infringing sites.]
8. Mediashakers, a Geneva-based global advertising network.
9. Yesads, an ad network by Clicksor that claims to have 900 million ad impressions each month over 100,000 web sites
10. Infolinks, a Palo Alto-based company that claims to create revenue for over 100,000 web sites in 128 countries.
Jonathan Taplin, Director of the Annenberg Innovation Lab, said in a statement that these illegal download sites divert money from the legitimate marketplace and make it more difficult for artists to make a living. But Taplin stopped short of calling for lawmakers to fix the problem. "We do not believe that government regulation alone is the answer to the piracy problem but rather that the self-regulation of major sectors like the online advertising industry could make it harder for the 'Kim Dotcoms' of the world to unfairly exploit artists."
Billboard reached out to both Google or Yahoo! for comment but had not received responses at press time.
The report reflects the greater awareness of the support system that enables digital piracy. Online ad networks allow illegal download and streaming sites to generate revenue without paying for the content acquired by visitors.
Although the RIAA has backed away from its earlier strategy of pursuing individuals who engage in illegal file sharing, the organization has actively worked with credit card companies and Internet service providers to reduce piracy through cutting off these illegal sites' support systems. The RIAA and other organizations also file takedown notices to have infringing links removed from Google's search engine. Without ad revenue, and without inbound traffic, these sites won't have the means to survive.
The monthly Annenberg list should help raise awareness in the brand community, too. As Professor Taplin stated, self-regulation will be needed for advertising dollars to stop flowing to illegal sites.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography / University of California, San Diego
Be tricked, fooled and duped this spring when you visit the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, the exploration center for Institution of Oceanography. On Saturday, May 28, the aquarium unveils The Art of Deception, a new exhibit highlighting marine creatures that use creative camouflage for survival.
Enter the underwater world of these masters of disguise and witness their ingenious disappearing acts! Cellophane-like jellies are nearly transparent, octopuses vanish into the rocky reefs that surround them and frogfish look like neither frogs nor fish but like coral. These are just a few of the strategies certain marine creatures use to hide in plain sight and blend with their environments.
In the wild, the art of camouflage works for both sides in the battle for survival. Prey animals use it to avoid being made into another creature's dinner, and predators use it as a hunting technique-concealing themselves from their prey until it's too late.
Aquarium visitors will have the opportunity to explore four distinct ocean habitats-the rocky reef, the sandy ocean bottom, the kelp forest and the open ocean. Guests also can see veiled chameleons from Saudi Arabiaand White's tree frogs, native only to Australia and New Guinea. Be sure to sneak a peak at these animals, as they are not on display anywhere else in San Diego. Also, the Birch Aquarium will display tree frogs and chameleons for the first time as part of this exhibit.
Children of all ages will learn all about camouflage in the ocean through costume play areas, distorting fun-house mirrors and more.
An underwater camera and videoscopes (microscopes that display the contents on a television monitor) will take visitors below the waterline of aquarium tanks to observe marine life up-close.
The Art of Deception is included with paid aquarium admission. The Birch Aquarium at Scripps is located at 2300 Expedition Way and is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. For more information on the Birch Aquarium and The Art of Deception, visit aquarium.ucsd.edu or call 858/534-FISH.
This exhibit will disappear in two years-come see it while you can!
Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, is one of the oldest, largest, and most important centers for global science research and education in the world. Now in its second century of discovery, the scientific scope of the institution has grown to include biological, physical, chemical, geological, geophysical, and atmospheric studies of the earth as a system. Hundreds of research programs covering a wide range of scientific areas are under way today on every continent and in every ocean. The institution has a staff of more than 1,400 and annual expenditures of approximately $195 million from federal, state, and private sources. Scripps operates oceanographic research vessels recognized worldwide for their outstanding capabilities. Equipped with innovative instruments for ocean exploration, these ships constitute mobile laboratories and observatories that serve students and researchers from institutions throughout the world. Birch Aquarium at Scripps serves as the interpretive center of the institution and showcases Scripps research and a diverse array of marine life through exhibits and programming for more than 430,000 visitors each year.

uhh How about 'M? Yet another glitch Pokemon.
What's you favorite creepy topic: I like the stuff that happens in game, with some mysterious backstory behind it.
Do you have a favorite character from a creepypasta?: Red, from "Glitchy Red". Also my favorite Creepypasta.
Anywho, I've never seen a good 5th Gen creepypasta. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a 5th Gen Creepypasta at all. Hm. Wonder why. Other than the girl at marvelous bridge, there's nothing too creepy in BW at all. (I don't have B2W2 yet, so idk about those games). Even the Pokemon Tower replacement (I forget what they called it) wasn't creepy at all, despite being a grave site for Pokemon. If you ask me, though, the best Creepypastas come from the first 2 gens. There's just so much someone can do with those games. I just don't think there's enough strangeness to use in succeeding gens for a good creepypasta. (Course, i shouldn't say that, as I have plans for a story about the old lady at Snowpoint.)
You know, I'd have to disagree with you on that. There may not be any obviously creepy things around the region, in any areas or in the dialogue except for the thing with the girl at Marvelous Bridge, however all you need to do is take a look at the Pokedex entries for certain Pokemon, and you'll stumble upon some creepy or disturbing things, or in the very least, some things that don't really seem like they fit into Pokemon. To be honest, I think the fifth generation brought forth the most of these kind of entries of all the generations. I'll just list the ones I find the most disturbing below.
Litwick shines a light that absorbs the life energy of people and Pokémon, which becomes the fuel that it burns.
While shining a light and pretending to be a guide, it leeches off the life force of any who follow it.
Its flame is usually out, but it starts shining when it absorbs life force from people or Pokémon.
This ominous Pokémon is feared. Through cities it wanders, searching for the spirits of the fallen.
It arrives near the moment of death and steals spirit from the body.
It absorbs a spirit, which it then burns. By waving the flames on its arms, it puts its foes into a hypnotic trance.
Being consumed in Chandelure's flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind.
Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.
These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life.
These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves. Each retains memories of its former life.
It has been said that they swallow those who get too close and turn them into mummies. They like to eat gold nuggets.
Grave robbers who mistake them for real coffins and get too close end up trapped inside their bodies.
Using their very hot, flame-covered tongues, they burn through Durant's steel bodies and consume their insides.
There are more, but these were just the ones I felt to be the most dark or unnatural for such bright games as Pokemon to include, and while some from earleir generations may have been worse, this generation sure had the most.

All of our calligraphy wall scrolls are handmade.
When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.
Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up a week or two for $10!
When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.
The wall scroll that Sandy is holding in this picture is a "large size"
single-character wall scroll.
We also offer custom wall scrolls in small, medium, and an even-larger jumbo size.
Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
In Westerns, the good guys have white hats and the bad guys have black hats. In comics, the good guys tend to wear primary colors– and the bad guys get stuck wearing green or purple. I've always found that interesting (and it certainly gives an intriguing layer to the Hulk). All the villains I've looked at so far this week have had one or the other in their color schemes– tonight's has both. He's also one of the best Bat-villains of them all.
286. The Riddler
Don't worry, I'll spare you some cheesy "riddle me this" joke. No 'When is an archive not an archive?' or any of that crap. Nope.
The Riddler has an intriguing history. Created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang and first appearing in Detective Comics #140, he made two early appearances in the 1940s, and wasn't seen again until nearly 20 years later. A certain William Dozier happened to read the issue that housed Riddler's long-overdue reappearance, and lo, was the Bat-tastic '60s Batman show born.
Frank Gorshin (rest in peace, my friend) was the man who portrayed the Riddler during the show's run (though John Astin filled in at one point), and he was brilliant. The Riddler was easily the show's strongest villain, for Gorshin turned him into a delightful, cackling maniac with his excellent delivery. He owned the screen. Thanks to Dial B for Blog, I also know that Frank Gorshin put out an album in which he sung in-character. You can listen to that here. No one will ever top Gorshin's Riddler. The less said about Jim Carrey, the better.
Anyway, the show gave the Riddler the push he needed to become permanently ingrained into Batman's rogues gallery. Thank God for that! Edward Nigma is a marvelous villain– an obsessive-compulsive criminal mastermind whose sole mission in life is to outsmart Batman. Over the years, he's become madder and darker, undergoing a few revamps here or there. Frankly, I don't think The Riddler needs to be changed or transformed in order to be made formidable– he just has to be The Riddler. He's already cool.
Quite a few good Riddler stories have appeared over the years. Everyone turns to Peter Milligan and Kieron Dwyer's "Dark Knight, Dark City" as an example of a good Riddler story. It's a great tale, and makes the Riddler scary. It does, in fact, appear on Greg Burgas' "Comics You Should Own" list. However, it's not my kind of Riddler story. I prefer a Riddler who is a littler saner and less murderous– a guy who probably wouldn't be shut up in Arkham Asylum.
The Batman animated series provided an excellent portrayal of the Riddler, and Paul Dini has now put that version in the comics. Today, the Riddler's more or less gone straight, working as a private detective. It's given us some good stories, but we all know he'll go bad again one day.
The Riddler isn't Batman's most popular bad guy, and he's never been the Dark Knight's most fearsome opponent, but he's a cool and clever rogue that's usually pretty fun when he shows up. I've always liked the Riddler. It's a shame his best appearances are in television and film, and not the comics themselves, but I have faith we'll see a pile of great Riddler stories in the future. He's the perfect Batman baddie: a devilishly smart guy with a fun gimmick and a few tricks up his sleeve.
And so, I leave you with this image I ganked from one of Burgas' old posts. It's from a classic Riddler story by Neil Gaiman and Bernie Mirault that appeared in the 1989 Secret Origins special:
That about sums it up. For more on the Riddler, though, there's always the Wiki.
Definitely one of the best and most original villain concepts ever. Also, well, Frank Gorshin.
If my comic boxes weren't all stacked on top of each other, I'd go dig up the Dixon/Nolan Riddler story that I remember as being particularly good.
We need the Riddler to either join or fight the Croatoan Society.
I have that Batman issue to the right of frank Gorshin, (Your right, not his–the newer issue)–It's one of my favrorite Riddler stories. I was actually disappointed by Dark Knoght, Dark City. It had some good points, I even wrote them about it, and I believe they published an edited version of my letter on it.
That Secret Origins issues was fun–it featured other Batmna villains with an interesting framing story about a News show doing stories on Batman's villains, and there was discussion that their criminal careers were Batman's fault. But it was doen with a sense of humour.
Ahh, The Riddler! Huzzah for Edward Nigma! He easily made my Top Ten List that I sent to Cronin, but sadly he didn't make the Top Fifty. Of course Frank Gorshin is a HUGE reason why The Riddler's so cool, but he's got a really great premise to begin with. (Speaking of great performances on that show: Cesar Romero was always a disappointment as the Joker, but Burgess Meredith is almost as brilliant as Gorshin; it's just that the Penguin isn't nearly as cool as The Riddler.)
One of my favorite Riddler tales comes from the "I Killed Batman" four-parter. Great cover on that issue, too:
And "Hush" was overall a stinker, story-wise, but I loved how it helped restore the Riddler to prominence. I would totally buy a Riddler series with him as a crooked P.I. who bends all the rules to solve crimes and make money. I'll be totally fine with it if he never goes back to being a straight-up villain.
What about John Glover voicing Riddler in B:TAS? He only starred in three episodes ("If You're So Smart, How Come You're Not Rich?," "What Is Reality?," and "Riddler's Reform?"), but it was a nice departure from the lameass in Challenge of the Superfriends, and the one with the weird speech pattern from the Sixties.
As for great Riddler stories, I'd add his "Year One" tale back when DC used that theme in their annuals.
Sorry about the lack of HTML…I keep forgetting not to use brackets here. Also, it's "Riddler's Reform" with no question mark at the end.
While I'm double-posting…Was anybody else annoyed that Riddler was reduced to a silent figure after "Reform"? This came with the last version where he had a bald head for no good reason (including the Superman-as-Batman ep). And I remember the Judge ep where Eddie's doing his thing, saying, "Hey diddle diddle, time for a riddle," and the Judge comes in and freakin' destroys him. Not good.
The Neil Gaiman and Bernie Mireault Riddler story from SECRET ORIGINS is one of my all-time favorite comic book story! A prefect match of talents. It's a shame Neil and Bernie never worked together again…
I liked the fact that it was abig homage to the Batman of yesterday, especially to the great Bill Finger with all those signature giants props (we see a giant camera here but they where many more all over the story. Very nice.
I loved Frank Gorshin's acting. I always thought that he should have played the Joker instead of Cesar Romero. Riddler should have been a more cerebral character. Roddy MacDowell, who played a villain called Bookworm in the TV series, would have made a good Riddler I think.
I liked Caesar Romero's Joker! He was fun, and (to my young self) properly "villainous." Also, I liked how he rolled his /r/.
He was no Riddler, though. The Riddler was my favorite villain because of how Gorshin played him.
As for good Riddler stories, my favorite is one of the Puckett & Parobeck stories from the Batman Adventures comic (can't remember which issue). The Riddler gets out of prison, and goes back to crime at the urging of his gang. He actually wins, too! Well, sort of…
I actually liked the revamped Riddler that came out of Hush and it's a shame they went backwards (even in an interesting way) with the character.
Ah well.
The Riddler is one of my favorite villains, secoond only in the DCU to Black Manta! As others have mentioned, much of my Riddler-love has to do with Frank Gorshin. Gorshin scared the living &^%# out of me as a kid! He was the only villain on that campy West / Ward Batman show who seemed like he might really be insane; like he might just snap, pull out a pistol, and gun down the Dynamic Duo.
Also, the Riddler has one of the best motivations in comics. Simply put, he wants to stump the world's greatest detective. That's just perfect. You don't need to delve any deeper into his psyche than that if you don't wish to. He wants to prove himself smarter than Batman. Any kid can understand that perhaps unhealthy desire to prove that you're better than someone else. That's why the Riddler, to me, is the best Bat-villain, of all.
The Riddler is definitely my favorite Bat-villain, and Frank Gorshin is a big part of that. I got to meet Gorshin at a convention a couple of years ago & he signed my DVD of the 1966 Batman movie. He was very nice.
Kudos for posting the cover of my all-time favorite Riddler comics story: Batman #362. The story by Doug Moench, Don Newton & Alfredo Alcala is a classic IMO. Also check out Batman #292 for a great story about how the Riddler "killed" Batman.
Yeah, I forgot to mention I put him on my top ten list too.
Although I despise the era it refers to, the Gaiman story is one of my favorite stories, also.
[…] Some baddies have very obvious names that describe their entire villainous function. The Rhino's a big rhino dude. The Riddler riddles. The Tinkerer tinkers. The Shocker… well, okay, he vibrates. And the Melter? He melts stuff. […]
[…] 286. The Riddler […]

Paulson Fund Said to Jump 12% in Month to Erase Loss
John Paulson, who became a billionaire by betting against U.S. mortgage markets, gained 12.4 percent with his main hedge fund in September to erase this year's loss, said two people briefed on the performance.
Returns at New York-based Paulson & Co.'s Advantage Plus Fund, which uses strategies designed to profit from corporate events such as mergers or bankruptcies, improved as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index posted its biggest rally for the month since World War II. Advantage Plus fell 4.3 percent in August before beating the S&P 500's 8.8 percent increase last month.
Paulson's Credit Opportunities Fund rose 3.9 percent in September, bringing its year-to-date return to 9.6 percent, according to the people, who asked not to be named because the information isn't public. The Recovery Fund advanced 8.5 percent last month and 7.5 percent this year, while the Gold Fund jumped 5.7 percent in September and 22 percent this year.
Paulson & Co., which oversees about $31 billion, had bet on an economic recovery by 2012 before scaling back its bullish investments in securities earlier this year. Paulson, 54, said he believes the global recovery remains intact, and that he expects to make money in the next two years with the stocks of companies going through bankruptcies, restructurings and reorganizations.
Hedge funds probably recorded their highest return of the year in September, Credit Suisse Group AG said Oct. 4, as equities rallied the most for the month since 1939. The Credit Suisse Liquid Alternative Beta Index, which tries to replicate hedge funds' returns, climbed 3.6 percent in September, the largest increase since a 3.1 percent gain in July, when the S&P 500 rose 6.9 percent.
Stocks worldwide have pared declines to a loss of about 3 percent from the 2010 high reached in mid-April. U.S. growth slowed to a 1.7 percent pace in the second quarter from 3.7 percent in the first quarter, according to revised data released Sept. 30.
Paulson's September returns were reported by the Wall Street Journal on Oct. 4.
