It's a universal feeling we all experience at one point or another (and some of us more often than others): Sometimes it feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done we need to do.
Taskrabbit.com" target="_blank">class="NormalParagraphStyle">Taskrabbit.com is a genius idea that allows you to outsource small tasks and errands to people in your community. If there's something you need help with, whether it's doing your laundry or being a designated driver, there's probably someone in the community that would do it for the right price.
Moving? There are people willing to do everything from the heavy lifting to assembling your new IKEA furniture.
Planning a wedding? Hire a "Taskrabbit" to help you research venues, pick up flowers, run a photo booth, or even bartend on the big day.
TaskRabbit might not solve unemployment, but it does connect people who need a little help with others willing to help (and who have had their backgrounds checked).
Unfortunately (and as you've likely already figured out if you've lived in Summit County for a while), this service isn't yet available in our area.
It's actually only available in a handful of U.S. cities right now, so if you have a task or errand that requires somebody be here in town, you might be better off posting an ad on Craigslist (although unlike TaskRabbit, Craigslist helpers don't come with a background check).
If you so desire though, you can sign-up on the TaskRabbit.com website to be notified when the service comes to town.

Changes to wireless connectivity on campus
August 14, 2012
To Xavier University students, faculty, and staff from the Division of Information Technologies:
What's happening:
On Thursday, August 16, 2012, from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., the Division of Information Technologies will perform maintenance on the wireless network. Xavier wireless access will be unavailable intermittently during that period. This change will consolidate all wireless users on to the network called 'xavierwireless' and will remove the 'xavierstudent' network, along with the Cisco NAC login/agent process that was previously needed to connect to the wireless network. The 'xavierwireless' network is significantly faster and has fewer restrictions to on-campus resources.
What's changing:
Xavier has implemented a system that will automatically configure devices (PCs, tablets, phones, etc.) to connect to 'xavierwireless'.
• If your device already connects to 'xavierwireless', you will be unaffected. This applies to Xavier-maintained computers, and some student, faculty, and staff personal devices.
• If your device connects to 'xavierstudent', it will need to be reconfigured using the new system by going to http://wifisetup.xavier.edu. The short process can be performed in advance from off-campus although you won't actually be able to connect to the internet using 'xavierwireless' until you are in range of Xavier's wireless network. When you return to campus, your device should connect automatically to 'xavierwireless'. If it does not, go to http://wifisetup.xavier.edu and enter your Xavier credentials again.
• If you are on campus, the open 'xavierguest' network will allow you to access the setup utility to configure your device to connect to 'xavierwireless'. Click on 'xavierguest' on your list of wireless networks and follow the prompts. You will need to enter your email address from a web browser to gain temporary access to this network.
A note about gaming consoles and other devices:
Gaming consoles, Apple TVs, and other household/consumer devices that do not support WPA2-Enterprise security should be configured to connect to the network called 'Xmisc'. In order to connect a gaming console to 'Xmisc', you will need to complete this form: http://www.xavier.edu/ts/xmisc.cfm
Next steps:
If you have wireless connection problems, please connect to the open 'xavierguest' network on campus to run the setup utility for 'xavierwireless'. This will repair your wireless configuration. If you are still having problems connecting, or need to register a device to connect to the 'Xmisc' network, please contact 513.745.HELP (4357).
Thank you.

BlackBerry to Take Nearly $1 Billion Charge
BlackBerry prereleased earnings Friday, saying it will take a nearly $1 billion pretax charge on unsold Z10 inventory.
Factoring in the charge, the company expects to report a loss of about $950 million to $995 million. It also said it will cut 40% of its workforce, or about 4,500 positions, leaving it with 7,000 full-time global employees.
BlackBerry said it will recognize revenue on about 3.7 million BlackBerry smartphones — but not the latest phones. It will recognize them on older devices. Here's the line from the press release:
Most of the units recognized are BlackBerry 7 devices, in part because certain BlackBerry 10 devices that were shipped in the quarter will not be recognized until those devices are sold through to end customers. During the second quarter, approximately 5.9 million BlackBerry smartphones were sold through to end customers, which included shipments made prior to the second quarter and which reduced the Company's inventory in channel.
BlackBerry said it has total cash and equivalents of about $2.6 billion, and no debt.
The Journal's Will Connors reported earlier this week that BlackBerry was planning to slash its workforce. The job cuts come as BlackBerry seeks strategic alternatives for its business, including a possible sale. The company is also making its popular BBM messaging service available on iOS and Android in a bid to increase its customer reach. One possibility is that BlackBerry spins off BBM as a separate company or sells the business.
You can follow updated news in this article. Plus, here are the six most important points from BlackBerry's grim press release.

Paired up with Changes.app, I couldn't live without this app in my workflow.
It's a really good app if you heavly use SVN, but it stills in trial over here. If Versions almost plan GIT support, i'll buy it for sure! Very pleasent user iterface.
After some extended use, I have to be honest and say this app is overpriced. At approx USD$50, it can't even do branching and merging.
Save yourself some money, learn the SVN command line. It's free, and far more flexible. Sorry, developers.
Please come out with a Git version. I'm off SVN, but would love to continue using this awesome looking interface
The final is out and the price is 39 EUR
I love this and use it since the first public beta in productive enviroments. It's not the first but the best.
You have no clue what you're talking about. SVN is backwards compatible. SVN 1.5 clients will work fine with 1.4 servers, I know because I've been using an SVN 1.5 client at work. You just won't be able to use the new merge tracking feature, and probably a couple other new features.
And titaniumdecoy: you're right, Versions isn't the only GUI based SVN app for Mac, but it is by far the most intuitive as far as the user interface. The rest are garbage.
Anyone know what the retail price for this will be? Or at least an order of magnitude?
great app!
finally it's here, Subversion on mac is now usable!

Sharks and tornadoes -- served with a side of cheesiness -- seemed an unlikely recipe to create serious Hollywood buzz.
But that's exactly what happened after "Sharknado" hit the Syfy channel recently.
And, in the center of this mad, kitschy storm is Anthony C. Ferrante, Antioch native and the movie's director.
"It's been a bit overwhelming," said Ferrante during a quick meet-up, appropriately in the classic old-school area of Hollywood and Vine.
"It's a movie made with a small budget and in a very abbreviated amount of time but, somehow, it broke out and became successful." Ferrante is stunned at the white-hot spotlight that's been shining on him, his thriller-comedy and its leading stars Ian Ziering ("Beverly Hills, 90210") and Tara Reid ("American Pie").
Briefly, "Sharknado" is about a freak storm that brings thousands of sharks to Los Angeles. And, when the high-speed winds form tornadoes, "nature's deadliest killer rules water, land and air."
"The biggest thrill as a filmmaker is to have people actually see your movies and be engaged. And, this one somehow hit a nerve," Ferrante said.
Make that a huge nerve. The likes of top celebrities like Elizabeth Banks and Olivia Wilde talked about it, and shows such as "Good Morning America," "The View" and "Today" chatted up the wildness.
The early buzz was exciting, but when Mia Farrow tweeted a picture of herself watching his film that's when Ferrante knew they were onto something.
"The night it aired, the social media interaction was unheard of," he said. "It was exciting to see who was talking about our little movie." The movie generated 5,000 tweets per minute on Twitter during the movie's first airing on July 11. And, currently, the Sharknado Facebook page has nearly 19,000 fans.
"I knew we would have people that liked horror movies into it, (but) I never expected we would also interest the mainstream audience.
"We made something cool and quite weird, but I didn't (think) it would take off in such a big way. This is a movie made for television, not a theatrical film, so you expect a certain amount of interest and attention, but nothing as insane as this," he explained via email.
The Antioch High grad and former Los Medanos College student said the most exciting aspect of all this attention is the chance to do other films.
Known for his horror filmmaking, Ferrante also loves comedy and action.
" 'Sharknado' allowed me to do a big VFX movie with a sense of humor. It's now opened up other doors for different types of opportunities, which is really exciting."
While the attention has been wonderful, the making of the film was a challenge considering the 18-day and multi-location shoot.
"On most smaller-budget movies, it's beneficial to stay in one location because you can get more accomplished.
"We were never at one place for more than three days, which is incredibly hard on production. However, the film necessitated that." Locations included a boat, a purposely flooded swimming pool, under LA's Sixth Street Bridge and the Santa Monica Pier.
"It was way too ambitious, but we had a great cast and crew. (We) just jumped into it and didn't look back."
Fresh off the hugely attended and much geek-beloved Comic Con in San Diego, Ferrante said "Sharknado" continued its roll with huge lines of folks wanting autographed posters.
While the overwhelming attention may be new, Ferrante has known he wanted to make films since he was a fifth-grader at Mission Elementary.
"I opened up a newspaper, saw a bunch of ads for films, and decided that's what I wanted to do. I never really understood why. After that, I tried to make that happen."
By about 17 years old, while still a student at AHS, he took a filmmaking class at Los Medanos College, where he made the "Eyes of the Nightwind," a 15-minute horror short.
Around the same time, Ferrante pitched a few horror-films reviews to an editor at this newspaper and had a stint as a movie critic for for some eight years .
Now married with a 10-year-old daughter, Ferrante is an LA-area resident.
The Syfy folks have ordered a "Sharknado" sequel, this time set in New York.
Ferrante is also anxious to make "The Key." "It's what I'm most excited about ... It's a script I wrote with Jacob Hair." The central character is a high schoolgirl, who has a bizarre experience giving her an unlikely power.
"We've created a whole universe for this film and finally there's been some interest in making it now that 'Sharknado' has been such a success."

Genentech and AC Immune partner again
19.06.2012 - Six years after their first alliance, Swiss AC Immune SA partners again with US-American Genentech Inc.
Basel/Lausanne – The subject of the new cooperation remained the same: fighting Alzheimer's disease. Therefore the Roche subsidiary has now in-licensed a second generation of AC Immune's antibodies - this time directed to bind the Tau protein. Under the terms of the agreement, AC Immune will receive an undisclosed upfront payment and research, development and commercialisation milestone payments totalling more than CHF400m. Additionally, AC Immune could pocket royalties on net sales resulting from the collaboration – if the product is approved.
Under the multi-year joint research collaboration, AC Immune will work in partnership with Genentech to identify and formulate several pre-clinical candidates. The pharma will have global responsibility for pre-clinical and clinical development, manufacturing and commercialisation of antibodies resulting from the collaboration. Scientifically, both partners are building on the first alliance as the new Tau antibodies are thought to flank Crenezumab, an antibody in phase II resulting from the first cooperation that binds amyloid-beta-plaques (abeta).
By blocking Tau- fibrillation and destroying abeta aggregates, AC Immune attacks the two crucial steps in Alzheimer development. AC Immune has raised CHF64m since its foundation in 2003. Financiers are business angels from Switzerland and prominent biotech supporters like Dietmar Hopp, the founder of the German business software maker SAP. Beside the out- licensed antibody projects, AC immune develops a proprietary small molecule pipelinehttp://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/genentech-and-ac-immune-partner-again.html

SACRAMENTO -- The Warriors liked the resiliency they showed. And their execution down the stretch. They even liked the look guard Klay Thompson got, a pull-up from about the free throw line area, for the potential game-winner.
What they didn't like was the hole they dug themselves into Monday, eventually resulting in a 94-92 loss to the Sacramento Kings.
"Like I told my guys, you don't win or lose the game on those last shot attempts," coach Mark Jackson said. "One defensive rebound, one less turnover ... one extra effort play where they don't get a wide-open layup in transition. That's the difference between winning and losing the ballgame, not the last play."
The Warriors nearly stole a road victory after playing poorly most of the game. By forcing turnovers and crashing the boards, they fought back from 16 down in the third quarter to have a chance to win it in the final seconds.
A runner by Kings guard Aaron Brooks, with 1:16 remaining, put Golden State down 93-88. But center Andrew Bogut, who scored six points down the stretch, answered by dropping a 10-foot push shot from the baseline.
The next time down, Brooks missed on a driving layup. Thompson got the rebound, was fouled, and cut the lead to 93-92 with 31.3 seconds left by making both free throws.
Golden State got another stop when an off-balance seven-footer by Kings center DeMarcus Cousins bricked and Thompson secured the rebound. The Warriors had the ball with 10.9 seconds left and a chance to go 3-0 on the road for the first time since 1994-95.
They dumped the ball down to Bogut, who found Thompson after he'd curled around a couple of screens. Thompson's pull-up, much like several of his 10 misses Monday, looked good on the release. But it wasn't.
"For a second I thought it was in, but it hit back rim," Thompson said. "It was really disappointing. It's going to be a long bus ride back. It's going to be a long night. And you can bet I'm going to think about that for a long time. ... I guarantee I will be in that position before the year ends, so I'm not going to dwell on it that long. But it definitely hurts."
Golden State had one last hope, with eight-tenths of a second left after two free throws by Kings forward James Johnson. But point guard Stephen Curry's heave at the buzzer clanked.
The Warriors can take solace in the fact that they had a chance to win. They shot 39.7 percent from the field, including Curry's 3-for-15 shooting performance. They were bullied a bit by Sacramento, which out-rebounded the Warriors and won the points-in-the-paint battle. Cousins finished with 23 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Kings.
But Warriors players talked only about how they didn't put together a complete game.
"It was cool to see we had some resiliency, to fight back into the ballgame," backup point guard Jarrett Jack said. "They're a little pumped up. It was their home opener. We could've packed it in, kind of shied away from them. But we stepped up to the challenge, fought back to get ourselves into the ballgame. But the fact of the matter is we should have never put ourselves in that position in the first place."
Back-to-back baskets by Cousins put the Warriors down 56-46 early in the third quarter. But Golden State ran off 10 straight to tie the game at 56, capped by a 3-pointer from Curry at the 8:42 mark.
Sacramento retook control of the game with a 16-0 run, led by Cousins and a parade to the free throw line. Golden State trailed 75-64 entering the fourth quarter and was down 89-78 with 4:11 remaining. That's when the Warriors finally came alive.
Forward David Lee (20 points, six rebounds) dropped in a hook. Moments later, Curry drilled a 3-pointer in transition. The Kings' lead was down to 89-84.
Lee got the Warriors the ball back by taking a charge, which led to a layup by Thompson, pulling the Warriors to within three with 2:10 left in the game. Brooks and Bogut traded scores until the Warriors finally got a stop. If Thompson's jumper drops, it would have been a coup for Golden State.
"They outworked us early on. That's what it boiled down to," Jackson said. "They were the hardest-working team on the floor. The good thing is that we realized when we did put forth the effort and we execute, we climbed back into the ballgame. So imagine if we put together 48 minutes of that."
He was fairly productive, converting 5 of 7 attempts for 12 points to go with three rebounds and a block. But at times he looked to be limping and in pain.
"I'm not really going to comment on (my progress) right now because I have a lot more work to do to get to a level where I play 40 minutes," Bogut said. "Conditioning wise, I don't feel too bad. That's getting better every game. But the ankle is still a work in progress."

Tuscaloosa police arrest, charge Michael Jones for burglarizing 17 local businesses (UPDATE)
Police say crimes date back to May 2012
Published: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 10:05 a.m.
A Tuscaloosa man with a history of breaking into locally-owned small businesses has struck again, according to Tuscaloosa Police Department spokesman Sgt. Brent Blankley . Police found Michael Jones trying to break into The Waysider restaurant on Greensboro Avenue early Thursday morning, Blankley said, and after examining the evidence in 17 recent cases, believe Jones is responsible.
Michael Jones has been charged with 17 counts burglary.Jones is being held at the Tuscaloosa County Jail on 17 charges of burglary and one of robbery. TPD investigators say Jones targeted local laundromats, restaurants and hair salons. Earlier this week, the department released a photo of a man breaking into and stealing money from Hooligan's on University Boulevard. Police say that man is Jones. Last week, police released a photo of a man, who has since been identified as Jones, robbing the clerk at Soap & Suds on 10th Avenue. Early Thursday morning, an officer working the overnight shift heard an alarm sound for a couple of seconds. He noticed The Waysider restaurant was completely dark, so he pulled in to investigate further, Blankley said. The officer called for backup after seeing someone run from the corner of the business. Officers blanketed the area and captured Jones near 15th Street and Queen City Avenue. Investigators, Blankley said, discovered someone cut the phone lines at The Waysider and pulled the power meter from the building.
Police say the man pictured is Michael Jones breaking into Hooligan's on Oct. 23. He has since been charged with 17 counts of burglary.Jones is also accused of breaking into Renovation Beauty Salon in August; Threads and Heads Embroidery, Ruan Thai, One Stop Laundry, Shoe Show and 4th and 23rd in September and The Queen restaurant, Divas Styling Salon, Rama Jama's, The Bear Trap, El Rincon, Car Quest Auto Parts, Nails Unlimited and Fletcher Supply in October. Jones, who, according to court records, has served time, plead guilty to 1998 break-ins of Tut's Pizza, Crimson Cafe and a Thai restaurant. In May 2012, he was charged with taking cash, coins and candy from Cleansing Tide. He plead guilty and was released on April 5 without having to post bond. According to sentencing documents included in that court file, Jones' prior convictions would have qualified him to spend four to 10 years in prison. He failed to appear at a court hearing scheduled for Monday to discuss his application for probation. Court records also indicate a fugitive warrant was issued for Jones in April. He had been charged with stealing a vehicle in Georgia and failed to show up for scheduled court hearings there. Georgia declined to extradite him. Jones remained in the Tuscaloosa County Jail Friday with bail set at $315,000.

The Bay Area was a big winner on Selection Sunday, three times over.
San Jose could have played host to eight teams with no regional connection (as was the case three years ago). Instead, HP Pavilion lucked into a local: Cal.
The Bears could have been shipped to a distant outpost, perhaps even for a Thursday game. Instead, they're a 45-minute bus ride from campus (unless there's traffic on 880, in which case it's a two-day trek).
Saint Mary's could have missed the cut altogether due to a lack of quality wins. Instead, the Gaels were one of the last teams in and will play in the First Four on Tuesday in Dayton.
Everyone's happy, especially the Bears. They are the first local team to play an NCAA tournament game in the Bay Area since the 1997 Stanford team coached by Mike Montgomery.
"It's basically a home game,'' guard Justin Cobbs said. (As of Sunday evening, approximately 1,000 tickets were available for the Thursday-Saturday games at HP.) The Bears had a 1-in-8 chance of being sent to San Jose; they received the assignment after being dropped one spot from their natural seed (11) because of complications in the bracketing process.
The end result seems to indicate that the Bears benefitted from losing to Stanford and Utah at the end of the season. Had they been seeded just one rung higher -- a No. 10, instead of an 11 -- San Jose would have been off the table.
The NCAA selection committee is loath to place lower seeds in advantageous situations, but chairman Mike Bobinski said logistical problems left no options other than assigning No. 5 UNLV to play what amounts to a road game against a No. 12 seed.
The matchup also runs counter to the committee's no-rematch preference -- UNLV won by one point in Berkeley in December -- but there were no options, Bobinski said.
Other winners (and losers) from Selection Sunday:
Winner: The selection committee. With both the at-large field and the seeds, the committee did as well as could be expected. A few quibbles, including Cal-UNLV, but no major gaffes.
Loser: Kentucky. The defending champion missed the cut. So much for the committee selling out for TV ratings.
Winners: Middle Tennessee State and La Salle. They made the cut -- the last two, in fact -- ahead of Kentucky and all its future pros.
Loser: Indiana. The Hoosiers lost the competition for the No. 1 overall seed and, as a result, would play their Sweet 16 game in Washington, D.C. -- instead of Indianapolis.
Winner: Gonzaga. The first team outside the six power conferences to receive a No. 1 seed since Memphis in 2008. And the Zags have a dream draw.
Loser: Louisville. The No. 1 overall seed is in the same region as Duke and Michigan State. Yikes.
Winner: The Mountain West. Five teams in the tournament, four of them seeded No. 8 or higher.
Loser: The Pac-12. Five teams in the tournament, three of them seeded 10 or lower.
Winner: Arizona. The draw sets up well for the Wildcats, if they can get past Belmont in the round of 64.
Loser: Oregon. The Ducks were a No. 11 seed before getting dropped one line for bracketing purposes. That's five spots below a team they beat twice, UCLA.
Winner: The little (and medium) guys. Teams from outside the six major football conferences collected 11 at-large bids (equaling last year's total).
Loser: The SEC. Three paltry bids and once again, no teams from Alabama. No matter. Spring football is underway.
Winner: Mike Bobinski. The committee chairman (and Xavier athletic director) was ready for the tough but fair questions thrown his way by CBS analysts.
Loser: Ron Wellman. The Wake Forest athletic director takes over from Bobinski next year and has a high bar to clear.
Winner: The third round. Three delicious matchups loom: Kansas-North Carolina, UCLA-Florida and New Mexico-Arizona.
Loser: Duke. With their starting five intact, the Blue Devils beat Ohio State and Louisville and lost just one game. And yet they're a No. 2 with Michigan State and Louisville in their path.
Winner: Chaos. With no dominant teams and (mostly) balanced regions, the next three weeks should be off the charts.

Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Have you ever wanted to send someone else in your place to court? The agent working for Regency Mall did and now there's a warrant for his arrest.
Mark Axler, the agent for the group that owns Regency Mall, is in hot water for skipping court on Thursday.
"The only person who can excuse him from coming to court is me," said Magistrate Court Judge Allen.
He was given six different tickets for violations at the abandoned property. Instead of showing up for court, he sent new Property Manager James Mccannen.
"I have not done that. Whatever he told you is incorrect. A warrant for failure to appear will be issued," Allen said.
However, property owners are finally doing some cleaning up around Regency Mall.
"There is work in progress to bring the property into compliance. We're satisfied with the progress so far," said Planning and Development Inspector Larry Lariscy.
"They were suppose to go inside and clean out the flammable stuff inside. It's still an eyesore on the outside," said Commissioner Marion Williams.
So far, so good, but they're not done yet. The building makeover it needs will cost owners between $700,00 to $900,000. The property sits in Commissioner Williams' super district.
"Businesses are dying around that area because of the sore eye. Somebody has to make sure they do what they need to do," Williams said.
Lariscy inspects the property twice a month to make sure they're making progress.
"They're cleaning out some of the debris from the vandalism that's taken place inside the property. They have a plan of action to secure the building and make some roof repairs," he said.
"It's a sore eye and it needs to be dealt with. The judge did the right thing," Williams said.

WASHINGTON (October 31, 2012)--After three straight years of passing out goodies to area students and military children in the White House driveway, President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, broke their Halloween tradition this year because of superstorm Sandy, which hammered the East Coast.
Hundreds of treat bags containing White House M&Ms, an orange-frosted, pumpkin-shaped sugar cookie, jelly beans and some dried fruit were be delivered to the White House Military Office and to school districts in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia that would have participated in the celebration.
Pumpkins used to decorate the White House will be donated to area shelters.
Earlier Wednesday New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie issued an executive order postponing Halloween until Monday because of the effects of the storm.
Christie joined the president Wednesday to inspect damage from the massive storm.
Afterward Mr. Obama told those affected by the devastation, "We are here for you, and we will not forget."
Mr. Obama says the federal government is "here for the long haul."
Christie, a supporter of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, said he "can't thank the president enough" for his concern and compassion during the storm.

As well, Pentagon architects designed prisons that were sadistic torture chambers in themselves, barely six feet high and seven feet wide, in which human beings were kept for months or years at a time---spaces which, one prisoner noted, are smaller than the legal requirements in Germany for doghouses. Architects who knowingly designed these hellholes may have also committed crimes against humanity.
After the photographs of sadism at Iraq's Abu Ghraib in May, 2004, shocked the world, President Bush called the revelations "a stain on our country's honor and our country's reputation." He told visiting King Abdullah of Jordan in the Oval Office that "I was sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners, and the humiliation suffered by their families." Bush told The Washington Post, "I told him (Abdullah) I was equally sorry that people who have been seeing those pictures didn't understand the true nature and heart of America." A year later, Lynddie England and 10 others from the 372nd Military Police Company were convicted of torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq, yet the events of that prison were likely duplicated everywhere across the spectrum of Pentagon and CIA detention camps acting on orders from the Bush White House.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
While the President's words sounded as if they came from an innocent bystander, this was the same man who claimed two years earlier the Geneva Conventions did not apply in the countries the U.S. had invaded; they were uttered by the man who, with his Vice PresIdent Dick Cheney, is primarily responsible for the entire venomous persecution of thousands of innocent men, women, and even children. While a handful of guards such as Ms. England---notorious for her "thumbs up" photo observing a human pyramid of naked prisoners, were convicted and jailed---the many other hundreds or thousands of military guards, interrogators, and doctors and dentists also involved in the widespread tortures have never been prosecuted for their crimes.
It should be kept in mind that no impartial legal system was in place to defend the rights of the accused, so that their torturers could break laws without fear of reprisal. As Jane Mayer wrote in "The Dark Side"(Anchor), "Seven years after the attacks of September 11, not a single terror suspect held outside of the U.S. criminal court system has been tried. Of the 759 detainees acknowledged to have been held in Guantanamo, approximately 340 remained there, only a handful of whom had been charged. Among these, not a single 'enemy combatant' had yet had the opportunity to cross-examine the government or see the evidence on which he was being held. Thus, since none had been brought to trial, all the tortures inflicted were on captives who must be presumed innocent. One book, by a man who survived the nightmare of captivity where so many others perished, gives the lie to the notion that abuses were carried out by a few vicious guards. Everywhere he went he was beaten and he saw other prisoners also beaten by many different teams of sadistic guards. The conviction of Ms. England and her companions, therefore, does not begin to serve the cause of justice.
According to Murat Kurnaz, a 19-year-old Turkish citizen raised in Germany and falsely defamed as "the German Taliban," torture at the several prisons in which he was held was frequent, commonplace, and committed by many guards. In his book, "Five Years of My Life: An Innocent Man in Guantanamo"(Palgrave Macmillan), beatings began in 2001 on the flight from Pakistan (where he was pulled off a public bus and sold by Pakistani police for $3,000) to his first imprisonment in Afghanistan.
"I couldn't see how many soldiers there were, but to judge from the confusion of voices it must have been a lot. They went from one prisoner to the next, hitting us with their fists, their billy clubs, and the butts of their rifles." This was done to men that were manacled to the floor of the plane. "It was as cold as a refrigerator; I was sitting on bare metal and icy air was coming from a vent or a fan. I tried to go to sleep, but they kept hitting me and waking me…they never tired of beating us, laughing all the while."
On another occasion, Kurnaz counted seven guards who were beating a prisoner with the butts of their rifles and kicking him with their boots until he died. At one point, Kurnaz was hung by chains with his arms behind his back for five days. "Today I know that a lot of inmates died from treatment like this." When he was finally taken down and needed water "they'd just pour the water over my head and laugh." The guards even tortured a blind man who was older than 90 "the same way the rest of us were," Kurnaz wrote.
At Camp X-Ray, Guantanamo, Cuba, Kurnaz said, "During the day, we had to remain seated and at night we had to lie down. If you lay down during the day you were punished…We weren't allowed to talk. We weren't to speak to or look at the guards. We weren't allowed to draw in the sand or whistle or sing or smile. Every time I unknowingly broke a rule, or because they had just invented a new one…an IRF (Immediate Reaction Force) team would come and beat me." Once when he was weak from a hunger strike, Kurnaz wrote, "I was beaten on a stretcher." During his earlier imprisonment at Kandahar, Pakistan, Kurnaz writes, "There were weaker, older men in the pen. Men with broken feet, men whose legs and arms were fractured or had turned blue, red, or yellow from pus. There were prisoners with broken jaws, fingers and noses, and with terribly swollen faces like mine." Not only were the wounds of such men ignored by guards but complicit doctors would examine him and other prisoners during tortures and advise guards as to how much more they could stand before they died. On one occasion, he saw guards beating a prisoner with no legs.
Still worse, Kurnaz said doctors participated in the tortures. A dentist asked to pull out a prisoner's rotten tooth pulled out all his healthy ones as well. Another prisoner who went to the doctor to treat one finger with severe frostbite had all his other fingers amputated. "I saw open wounds that weren't treated. A lot of people had been beaten so often they had broken legs, arms and feet. The fractures, too, remained untreated," Kurnaz wrote. "I never saw anyone in a cast." Prisoners were deliberately weakened by starvation diets. Meals at Guantanamo consisted of "three spoonfuls of rice, a slice of dry bread, and a plastic spoon. That was it." Sometimes a loaf of bread was tossed over a fence into their compound.
Prisoners who should have been in hospital beds instead were confined to cells purposefully designed to torture them. Kurnaz described his experience this way: "Those cells were like ovens. The sun beat down on the metal roof at noon and directly on the sides of the cage in the mornings and afternoons. All told, I think I spent roughly a year alone in absolute darkness, either in a cooler or an oven, with little food, and once I spent three months straight in solitary confinement." Prisoners could be put in solitary confinement for the tiniest infractions of the most ridiculous rules, such as not folding a blanket properly. "I was always being punished and humiliated, regardless of what I did," Kurnaz said. Once, he was put in solitary for ten days for feeding breadcrumbs to an iguana that had crawled into his cage.
Besides regular beatings from IRF, who commonly entered cells with clubs swinging, Kurnaz received excruciating electroshocks to his feet and was waterboarded in a 20-inch diameter plastic bucket filled with water. He describes the experience as follows: "Someone grabbed me by the hair. The soldiers seized my arms and pushed my head underwater. …Drowning is a horrible way to die. They pulled my head back up. "Do you like it? You want more?" When my head was back underwater, I felt a blow to my stomach…. "Where is Osama? "Who are you?" I tried to speak but I couldn't. I swallowed some water….It became harder and harder to breath, the more they hit me in the stomach and pushed my head underwater. I felt my heart racing. They didn't let up…I imagined myself screaming underwater…I would have told them everything. But what was I supposed to tell them?"It should be noted that U.S. and German authorities had decided as early as 2002 that Kurnaz was innocent---that he really was a student of the Koran in Pakistan when he had been seized by bounty hunters and sold to the Americans as a "terrorist." Yet they continued the tortures for years knowing all along of his innocence.
On yet other occasions, Kurnaz, like so many other prisoners, was hung from chains backwards so that "it felt as though my shoulders were going to break. "I was hoisted up until my feet no longer touched the ground….After a while, the cuffs seemed like they were cutting my wrists down to the bone. My shoulders felt like someone was trying to pull my arms out of their sockets…When they hung me up backwards, it felt as though my shoulders were going to break…I was strung up for five days…Three times a day soldiers came in and let me down (and)a doctor examined me and took my pulse. 'Okay,' he said. The soldiers hoisted me back up. I lost all feeling in my arms and hands. I still felt pain in other parts of my body, like in my chest around my heart…" A short distance away Kurnaz could see another man hanging from chains--dead.
To compound the inmates' misery, Guantanamo guards would trample an imate's Koran, the sacred book of the Muslims. While U.S. authorities denied that Korans had been thrown in toilets, those denials are worth little considering that when the evening call to prayer was sounded, Kurnez said, the caller's voice "was drowned out by loud music. It was the American national anthem." One boorish guard specialized in kicking at prisoners' cell doors when they attempted to pray.
When Kurnaz was transferred within the Guantanamo prison system to "Camp 1" he was put in a maximum security cage inside a giant container with metal walls. "Although the cage was no smaller than the one in CampX-Ray, the bunk reduced the amount of free space to around three-and-a-half feet by three-and-a-half feet. At the far end of the cage, an aluminum toilet and a sink took up even more room. How was I going to stand this? …I hardly saw the sun at all. They had perfected their prison..It felt like being sealed alive in a ship container."
Although U.S. politicians and ultra-right radio talk show hosts ridiculed the use of sleep deprivation against prisoners, this was, in fact, an insidious practice used earlier in Bolshevik Russia to torture known as "the conveyor belt." In 2002, Kurnaz writes, when General Geoffrey Miller took over command of Guantanamo, "The interrogations got more brutal, more frequent, and longer." Miller commenced "Operation Sandman," in which prisoners were moved to new cells every hour or two "to completely deprive us of sleep, and he achieved it." Kurnaz says, "I had to stand and kneel twenty-four hours a day," often in chains, and "I had barely arrived in a new cell and lay down on the bunk, before they came again to move me. …As soon as the guards saw me close my eyes…they'd kick at the door or punch me in the face." In between transfers, "I was interrogated…I estimated the sessions lasted up to fifteen hours" during which the interrogator might disappear for hours at a time. "I sat chained to my chair or kneeling on the floor, and as soon as my eyelids drooped, soldiers would wake me with a couple of blows…Days and nights without sleep. Blows and new cages. Again, the stabbing sensation of thousands of needles throughout my entire body. I would have loved to step outside my body, but I couldn't…I went three weeks without sleep….the soldiers came at night and made us stand for hours on end at gunpoint. At this point, I weighed less than 130 pounds." Kurnaz was released to Germany in August, 2006, and testified by videolink in 2008 to the U.S. Congress. During his five years of confinement, he was never charged with a crime.
And so it happened that, during the presidency of George W. Bush, tens of thousands of innocent human beings, Kurnaz among them, were swept up in dragnet arrests by the invading American forces or their allies and imprisoned without legal recourse---the very opposite of what America's Founders gifted to humanity in their Constitution. None of the prisoners ever saw a real judge or jury. Torture among them was widespread. As for President Barack Obama, sworn to uphold a Constitution that does not permit torture, his failure to act forthrightly and, in particular, to ignore crimes by the CIA, an agency for which he once worked, would appear to make him guilty of subversion of that founding charter which he is legally obliged to honor. As for not taking action against the countless Pentagon operatives who tortured---including doctors and dentists and surgeons, etc.---Obama's inaction will permit these sadists to be returned one day to practice among the general civilian population. Think about that. Think, too, about the stain on the American flag that may never be washed clean. #

HR Enters a New IT-Driven Phase
Human resources is joining a long list of corporate functions—sales, finance and marketing, to name a few—that have been transformed by new technologies such as analytics and automation. That might sound scary, but the founder of Pymetrics, a startup that uses neuroscience to assess the characteristics of job applicants, says technology can democratize the hiring process. "It allows potential clients the ability to assess raw talent for the job rather than relying on resume proxies," such as where someone went to school, co-founder and CEO Frida Polli told CIO Journal.
In that way it can help bring promising job candidates with non-traditional backgrounds to the fore, expanding opportunity for job seekers and helping companies connect with the people they need, she said.
Pymetrics is one of a handful of startups that are creating new tools for a market that has been synonymous with human judgment. In the case of Pymetrics, the idea is to use the tools of neuroscience to measure basic qualities such as attentiveness, "in a way that cannot be gamed," said Dr. Polli, who has a doctorate in neuroscience from Suffolk University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
The company is based at Work-Bench, a New York City business incubator that is backed by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co.
The Pymetrics platform employs computer games instead of the more familiar question-and-answer approach to job applications. For example, to measure attentiveness, a subject will pay attention to a series of images, and signal when the pattern changes.
The process isn't designed to be a competition and Pymetrics doesn't give subjects a passing or failing score, according to Dr. Polli. That concept doesn't really apply, she said, because different jobs draw on different characteristics. "There are some jobs, such as airplane pilot, where being attentive is critical. And there are some jobs—certain kinds of leadership positions—where impulsivity can be a good thing," she said in an interview.
The Pymetrics platform was designed as a contemporary alternative to the Myers-Briggs personality inventory, which was developed during the middle of the 20th century, drawing on the work of Carl Jung, a pioneer in the study of archetypes and analytic psychology. Although some of the games in the platform have been used for years, Pymetrics stitched them together in a proprietary way. The software was created by co-founder and Chief Science Officer Julie Yoo, whom Dr. Polli met while she was doing postdoctoral work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The company has a number of beta users–none of whom agreed to be interviewed—a sign, perhaps, of the sensitive nature of bringing technology into the hiring process. Beta users, which come from industries such as finance, are using Pymetrics to augment human decisions, not replace them, according to Dr. Polli.
The beta users are using Pymetrics to make sure that they don't miss strong job candidates who might slip through an initial screening because they lack certain standard qualifications, she said. The beta users want to avoid "false negatives," or people who are rejected from the applicant pool but go on to receive job offers from rivals.
"At resume review, using our algorithms would have reduced false negatives from 60% to 0% (with only a slight increase in false positive rate)," Ms. Polli claimed in an email. At the next step of the hiring process, "we would have cut the false negative rate in half (again with only slight increase in false positive rates)," she said.
It isn't possible to verify those claims, given that beta users won't talk about Pymetrics.
The company has raised funding from Khosla Ventures, which says companies will use the technology as they seek advantage in a job market where certain skills, in areas such as technology and finance, are in great demand, according to partner Benjamin Ling, who led the investment. "The competition for top talent is booming. In the competition for employees, companies are looking for ways to differentiate themselves, through company culture and perks, and by identifying leading job candidates that come from non-traditional areas," Ling said. "Pymetrics fits into that trend."

Bloomberg: Yale finds less green than they'd hoped investing in NH biofuel company
There's also no guarantee that more sustainable investing will yield decent returns. Of the four alternative energy investments that Yale University featured in its 2009 investment report, at least two are foundering after natural gas prices fell. The solar panel-making unit of Suntech Power Holdings Co., based in Jiangsu, China, went bankrupt while Mascoma Corp., a biofuel company in Lebanon, New Hampshire, failed to go public.

There, after a horrid threat from Crendence (your input is always appreciated Crendence), an akward search for the delete from Gallery button, remembering what my Twitter password was, resizing, I can finally post this joke.
Which now after all the effort, is not very cleaver, fun to draw, or funny in retrospect... why the hell did I post this again? Right, right, "vote 4 Carter"
Both fancharacters are hailariously expendable and thought up after a few minutes of thinking "Be original"
... Chuck's hand in the last panel drives me insane.
Folks, we must discuss a serious issue here today, when characters begin to lose their grey neck fur between panels, you must contact a doctor right away and have said character know the importance of consistant neck fur.
@Anon *Facepalm*
no, I'm not deleting this again to fix that.
Mistakes happen, I don't blame you for making them. :p
And I agree with Chuck. :p
Vote for Carter!!!!!
hi, number 76 (katherine)
I don't think I'll use Katherine that much, I accidentally made her when I reallized that I can't draw Liam and when I try he looks too much like a girl, so I gave Liam teh boobs and thus, Katherine was created... seriously. lulz.
He can vote Abraham (Lincoln) or (Jefferson) Carter.
I c wat u did thar.

PharmTech spoke with Tim Freeman of Freeman Technology; David Beach, technology advisor and consultant to Accu-Break Pharmaceuticals; and Thierry Menard, lab manager, and Bruno Villa, president, both at Medelpharm, about challenges and innovations in tablet splitting and scoring.
Analytical technologies
Whilst a key aspect of tablet splitting has always been on how uniformly the active ingredient is distributed within the finished product, it is equally important to understand how to produce tablets with the required mechanical integrity and properties. Advances in spectroscopic techniques, such as near infrared (NIR) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), mean that it is now possible to analyse content uniformity across the surface of a tablet. In addition, advances in powder characterization techniques can assist in the development of truly robust manufacturing processes.
Poor content uniformity is often attributed to the difficulty of achieving a homogeneous blend to begin with, which may be because the active ingredient is present at very low levels or is cohesive and prone to agglomeration. Alternatively, if the API has significant particle size or density difference to the excipients in the blend, it may be liable to segregation post blending. Dynamic powder characterization can help optimize the blending process (1) and also predict the likelihood of segregation. It, therefore, brings real insight into how to address these issues.
Furthermore, dynamic parameters in combination with shear and bulk properties, support a comprehensive understanding of powder behavior, whether during the blending process itself, or when processed through the tablet press. Together these properties help manufacturers to rationalize and control powder performance during discharge from the hopper, whilst flowing through the feed frame, and during filling of the die. In addition, they provide information relating to the compressibility characteristics of the blend, as well as quantifying the ease with which air is entrained and released, both of which impact finished tablet quality. This information can be extremely helpful in ensuring compatibility between the process equipment selected and the properties of the blend, a match that is crucial for ensuring content uniformity in scored tablets.

LAS VEGAS -- It's Arizona in a rout at the Pac-12 Conference basketball tournament.
That's not a prediction for tonight's semifinal game against UCLA. It's based on a highly unscientific poll to determine the conference's best fans.
The Wildcats have 60% of the fans at the tournament, judging by the gear people were wearing as they passed the Starbucks at the MGM Grand from 12:30 to 1 p.m. on Friday.
The breakdown of the 176 shirts:
Arizona, 105: Either the Wildcats' fans really love their team or they really love gambling.
UCLA, 25: How many are here to root for Coach Ben Howland and how many are here to root against him?
Oregon, 15: This may be low; add 15 Nike T-shirts for Ducks fans who are honest about who runs things.
Cal, nine: Folks walking around in a daze, mumbling, "We lost to Utah?" Give Berkeley the one Green Day shirt for Las Vegas Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Colorado, seven: Add the two "Coors" shirts as fellow travelers.
Arizona State, four: Always a tough call in Vegas: Do you stand with 15? Sun Devils did; UCLA erased 15-point deficit and cashed in.
Utah, three: A trio walking around mumbling, "We beat Cal?"
Washington, three: Their team is gone, but it's raining in Seattle, so they're staying.
Stanford, two: A couple of students trying to win enough to pay for next year's tuition?
Oregon State, two: Beavers fans taking a few days to bask in the glow of that 2009 College Basketball Invitational title.

Olive Oil Poached Salmon with Chunky Mashed Potatoes
Poaching fish in water or stock ensures moist, tender results. But poaching seafood in oilan increasingly popular technique among seafood-savvy chefsadds a unique, wonderful flavor and richness.
This approach works with Salmon, Halibut, Sablefish, or any sturdy fish. The key is low heat and slow cooking, so that the fillet turns out moist, with a near-flaky texture.
Our fine, full-flavored organic extra virgin Spanish Picual olive oil is the perfect choice, as it will lend aromatic, apple-like flavor notes to the proceedings (If you prefer, use chicken broth instead of olive oil).
Serve this recipe with a horseradish sauce to drizzle over the fish and potatoes.

hey guys i have purchased an ICY BOX 4220, it comes with Twonkey media server already installed but not being a FAN, i really want PMS working,
it is a linux box but i do not have a screen or a linux PC, you install apps onto the server by placing them in a folder called Public/Applications/new_software
so i placed the PMS TGZ in there then rebooted the server after the reboot in the Public/applications folder PMS-Linux-1.04 appeared,
just wondering if anyone could help me work out how to run the program and why my PS3 cant see it?
it may be a password issue not sure were i config that, or the app might not be booting when the server boots up?
does anyone have any experiance with this that can help, im a wiz with windows new to linux
