Education Ministry May Penalize Habitual Swearers
South Korean parents are notoriously zealous for more education for their children. They send their kids to cram schools, or hagwons, until late at night in hopes of higher grades at school.
Good academic scores often mean acceptance to good colleges and a success in society.
Here's another matrix. Rather, another headache for the parents who want to give their children a head-start.
The country's Education Ministry said Thursday it would now closely monitor those students who habitually use abusive language at school for possible punishment following an incident caught on video of a high-school student cursing 385 times in a classroom over the course of four hours.
As a corrective program aimed at improving students' use of language, the ministry said it is considering putting students with "foul mouths" at a disadvantage when they advance to colleges and other higher-education institutions.
Their bad habits, such as swearing, will be recorded on official school records. And they will be excluded as candidates for school superintendents' favorable recommendations, which can be used to bypass entrance exams for higher-education institutions.
But there's a problem for teachers: How can they measure the severity and frequency of the curses the students make?
How many times does a student have to use bad words to be subject to the punishment? And how bad is bad?
The teachers can't follow them all day long. Nor can they install CCTVs with good sound quality every corner at school.
So, while the new language monitoring may be based on good intentions, its practical application may fail to make the grade.

Berkley® FireLine® Fused Braid Line
The scientific community is constantly bringing new innovation to the fishing industry and one area that has shown recent gains is the world of fishing lines. For decades, line was simple monofilament. Then braid came on the scene, followed by more complex chemical and co-polymer variations such as fluorocarbon. Berkley has now introduced thermally-fused braid in their FireLine product series.
First Impressions
When it comes to fishing, nothing is more critical to your success than the line you are casting. It's easy to overlook, but even when they are biting, bad line on a great day will ruin your fishing trip. Although a couple dollars more than the competitors, Berkley lines have always been among my favorite. First thing I noticed upon spooling the reel was that the line was incredible thin for the stated pound test (8#). After rigging, I noticed it left black stains on my fingers (I was using the Smoke color) and seemed to have a somewhat slightly waxy feel. It also became apparent that this line was incredibly strong as I couldn't twist, yank, bite or otherwise break it. I needed needle nose clippers to cut the tie off.
Fishing the Line
Berkley FireLine is technically a braided line which traditionally don't do to well on a spinning set-up, but that's exactly what I use: Shimano Symetre 2500 (review) on a Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Signature 6'6" Med stick. Fortunately, this line retains it's shape and does very well with spinning reels. Because it is so thin, you can load a lot of line on and it has very little memory allowing for clean spooling.
Casting the line is a dream. My first cast (granted I was using a spoon) went nearly 60 yards, easily 20% further than the same lure went with a different line earlier.
The light weight and thin diameter allow for little wind resistance. When compared with more traditional braided lines, it almost like it's not even there. The sensitivity of this line is also incredible. When taut, it's almost like your fingers are extended out to the lure itself. This allows for incredible control of many types of crankbaits and swimbaits, but especially jerkbaits. And when they hit, look out! You'll feel every battle and the line won't snap. The 8# test I had on brought in a 3lb. bass along with about 30 pounds of weeds and grass. The muck was so thick, I honestly wasn't sure if there was a fish under there!
Review Summary
Berkley has always been known for quality and their FireLine fused braid doesn't disappoint: 12# Smoke has become my "go-to" line. It casts long and can be relied upon to pull lunkers out of heavy slop. I find the line incredibly reactive and durable. The only negative thing I can say is that, despite advertising claims, this line will deteriorate over time. But, it takes a long time and you'll be able to tell by simple line fray - you'll still find this line more reliable than most other lines and certainly stronger than others of similar diameter. Overall, I'd recommend as a primary line. Outstanding.

PORTSMOUTH — A Rye woman is charged with a felony alleging she attempted to pass an altered prescription for pain killers, after a failed attempt to do the same thing at a second drug store.
Based on those allegations, Katherine Supple, 31, of 1359 Ocean Rd., is charged with a count of uttering a false prescription, say police.
According to an affidavit by Officer Christina Meyer, Supple went to the 1500 Lafayette Rd. Rite Aid on Nov. 20 when she passed an altered prescription for Oxycodone to a pharmacist. An investigation later revealed Supple had previously attempted to pass the same phony prescription at the Rite Aid on Islington Street, the officer's report states.
When confronted, Supple told police she'd photocopied a legitimate prescription to give a copy to her lawyer for her defense in a separate case alleging she was driving while intoxicated, the police report states. However, the officer reported to the local court, the date on the prescription had been changed.
According to public records, Supple was arrested by Somersworth police for driving while intoxicated and drug possession last April.
Following her Portsmouth arrest, Supple was released on $2,000 personal recognizance bail, and she's scheduled to be arraigned Monday in the Portsmouth Circuit Court.

Immigration isn't about helping Latinos. It's about helping immigrants to contribute to the country. A fair number of them are latino, but not all by any means. That you have to focus on and single out one particular race, is an example of a deep racist bias in your own thinking.
Notice how she says that I have to focus on and single out one particular race and that is an example of my deep racist bias in my own thinking. That's pretty much implying you're a racist. I demand an apology but you liberals won't apologize.
If you keep claiming I'm a liar tenco1 then I would like to see specific quotes where I supposedly lied. You're like the liberal mainstream media bashing Romney over the embassy quotes. If it was so disastrously awful what Romney had said why don't they repeat the clip or show the actual quote, they didn't.
Typical liberal, speak about the bad yet don't provide any substantive evidence or objective proof. You cannot go by hearsay. That's bad journalism and bad reporting.
sigh Mr. Romney was really right. You liberals regard yourselves as victims. Boo hoo! Not mentioning that you insulted me first, vikaTae insinuated I was a racist, and all the others here bashed me and other conservatives. When I fight back, you play victim. Please stop this nonsense.
Why would the retard comment be horrendously false? At least that person wouldn't do any more harm than Obama already has.

'The Hype About Hydrogen' warns that creating new energy sources won't be easy
Reviewed by Bruce V. Bigelow
March 21, 2004
Joseph J. Romm
Island Press, 196 pages, $25
In terms of waxing lyrical, paraphrasing Dickens is about as good as it gets for Romm, who directed programs in energy efficiency and renewable technologies during the Clinton Administration. As a longtime supporter of pollution-free energy, Romm is succinct if not elegant in presenting his overview of the prospects for developing hydrogen as a clean and inexhaustible fuel.
Yet Romm keeps his political leanings in check in this balanced assessment of hydrogen fuel cells and the many hurdles facing this technology. His logic is clear, and he reaches conclusions similar to an authoritative study issued last month by the National Academy of Sciences.
With worldwide petroleum production expected to peak in the next few decades, this book serves as a primer on what to expect as the cost of energy becomes increasingly expensive. It is a must-read for environmentalists who may be expecting too much from hydrogen fuels and
for business executives who
may be promising too much in terms of next-generation energy technologies.
The latter is no trivial matter. After proposing to spend $1.2 billion last year to launch a hydrogen economy, the Bush Administration recently added $318 million for both fuel cells and hydrogen production in the 2005 budget. Private venture capital investment in new energy technology start-up companies in the United States also is significant, amounting to $428 million in 2003, according to Nth Power, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm.
One of Romm's central themes is that commercializing new energy technologies is far more difficult than many people realize. Companies offering clean-burning, small-scale power plants, for example, often underestimate how local utilities will respond to a competitive threat – by offering to lower electric rates to prospective customers. Optimistic projections of various markets for hydrogen-based fuel cells are often based on such faulty thinking, Romm says.
As one alternative energy executive told Romm, "Too many people have hurt the industry by overpromising and underdelivering."
Among Romm's major conclusions is that neither government policy nor business investment should be based on the belief that hydrogen cars will have meaningful commercial success in the near term – or even in the next 20 to 30 years. The most promising avenue, in his view, is incorporating fuel-cell technology in new construction for certain types of facilities.
As an analyst, Romm conducts a sound and reasoned approach and a thorough review of the field. Yet with his fleeting bow to Charles Dickens, Romm touches on a rhetorical flourish he might have wielded to greater effect.
Hydrogen is perhaps the most plentiful fuel on the planet, with billions upon billions of tons in the oceans of the world. But as Romm notes, using electrolysis to produce hydrogen gas from water requires expending four units of energy to produce one unit of equivalent hydrogen energy. To produce a kilogram of hydrogen this way also would generate about 70 pounds of carbon dioxide.
So with the age of oil coming to an end, hydrogen represents a new season of light. If only we can get it to work.
With hydrogen, we have everything before us. We have nothing before us.

As you may know, I never read the critics of my commentaries. Why? In my opinion, commentaries are not for getting into personal arguments with critics but to express opinions.
Obviously, I missed a recent column that was apparently highly critical of my positions and contained personal attacks made by a local retired attorney. I greatly appreciate two of my fiends who came to my rescue. Thank you.
Difference of opinion is fair game. I have, however, observed that whenever liberals run out of arguments to support their emotional position, they revert to personal attacks, and then they filibuster so the real facts become obscured for lack of opportunity to ask a question.
For a confirmation of this behavior, watch the next debate between a liberal and a conservative on TV. You can bet the show exposure time difference will be obvious. Personal attacks and filibusters are signs of weakness.
There is a different subject that inspires comment: Recently, both parties had conventions. I couldn't keep track of the violations of truth expressed in both conventions, but both were filled with "facts" and lies. I followed both conventions carefully. The Republican convention appeared scripted with one exception - Clint Eastwood. His unscripted performance shocked some and was approved by others. His point was that when the coach is failing, it's time to fire him. Personally, I agree.
The Democratic convention was supposed to be scripted, but that also was violated. The vote to put "God" and a reference to "Jerusalem" as Israel's capital city be returned to the party's platform was laughable. It was obvious that voice votes of "yeas" and "nays" were nearly equal.
Three times the speaker called for a vote to get a majority. Finally, he gave up and read the preprogrammed teleprompter and declared that "the "yeas have it by a three-quarter majority." Those who voted "nay" may sue the Democratic Party.
This exposed some problems. The results were predetermined (possibly by Obama himself), and the vote call was either histrionics or a badly handled cover-up of previous errors. (They can still blame George Bush.) A freight train, similar to the late-night one forcing Obamacare, ripped its way though the false tranquility of peace and harmony of a "united" convention.
Another concern is that most of the Democrats were against returning God to their platform. This secular trend is disturbing, since every national poll reports that at least 70 percent of Americans believe in God.
Much of the rhetoric supported free government contraceptives, provided by taxpayers to female law school students. To oppose it was proof of the "Republican war on women" that was contrived by the Democrats to divert the discussion away from Obama's poor economic judgment and his lack of leadership.
There is so little space here to reflect upon every mistruth in each convention. Maybe we'll discuss those in another commentary. Anyway, the speeches of both parties were well-presented, even questioning the lack of factual content.
There are some rising young stars in both parties on the horizon. They are all good speakers with a strong presence. We already have a good speaker in the White House, and quoting Herman Cane: "How's that workin' out for ya?"
Let's hope, if they do come to Washington, they are not contaminated by Potomac fever like our "do nothing" senators. Let's also hope they don't immediately start breaking promises, like Obama. Let's further hope that there's at least one statesman among the lot and all are better than the present lot.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, asked for a meeting with Obama regarding the critical "red line" for Iran's nuclear bomb ambitions. However, President Obama doesn't have time to visit with the prime minister because he's campaigning in Ohio. Has there ever been a time when he wasn't campaigning, playing basketball or playing golf while skipping daily security briefings?
By the way, if you haven't seen the documentary "Obama's America, 2016," it is a must-see for members of both parties before voting. It played in Vail and was sold out almost every showing.
It clearly documents Obama's past and present goals for America. It's a professionally produced documentary by the director of "Schindler's List." The theme is: "You may love Obama or hate him, but you don't know him."
Every patriot should be concerned. Frankly, it scared the hell out of me, leaving a clear choice for my vote. It's not Obama.
Dick Gustafson, of Vail, was a two-term Eagle County commissioner.

Viacom Says 'Dumb Starbucks' is 'Free Expression'
Entertainment giant Viacom is no stranger to the intricacies of intellectual-property law, particularly as it is seen from the eyes of a company trying to protect its rights. It has spent almost seven years in a legal battle with Google over clips from its shows on appearing on YouTube, and has long navigated the limits of the "fair use" copyright doctrine when dealing with websites posting lengthy segments of programs like The Daily Show.
But thanks to the brief tenure of a "Dumb Starbucks" store in Los Angeles, this time it is Viacom claiming fair use. The store — which went to great lengths to mimic the look and feel of a real Starbucks, down to the logo and music selection — was a stunt for a show on Viacom's Comedy Central channel.
"We appreciate the humor, but they cannot use our name – which is a protected trademark," a Starbucks spokesman said in response to the stunt. While trademarks like the Starbucks name and logo are a different category of intellectual property than copyrighted material like a Daily Show segment, both are subject to the legal ambiguities of fair use.
Here's Viacom's take on Dumb Starbucks, as provided by a spokesperson:
Viacom and Comedy Central take intellectual property rights seriously, and also recognize the important constitutional protection afforded to expressive works characterized by social commentary. The episode relating to "Dumb Starbucks" constitutes protected free expression.
Starbucks said it was "glad the mystery is over" after the origins of the Dumb Starbucks store were revealed. But the mystery of "fair use" is far from solved, particularly as the business of accumulating and republishing ephemera from across the web – alongside a healthy dose of paid advertising — becomes more lucrative.
And it's unlikely to be solved anytime soon. Fair use allows publishers to use copyrighted material in limited ways as long as the usage of the original work is "transformative," such as in news reporting or analysis, commentary, criticism or parody. So can you parody The Daily Show by publishing a 10-minute clip of it on your website and declaring it the Dumb Daily Show? The answer is unclear, as this explainer hosted by Stanford University says:
So what is a "transformative" use? If this definition seems ambiguous or vague, be aware that millions of dollars in legal fees have been spent attempting to define what qualifies as a fair use. There are no hard-and-fast rules, only general rules and varied court decisions, because the judges and lawmakers who created the fair use exception did not want to limit its definition. Like free speech, they wanted it to have an expansive meaning that could be open to interpretation.

It's been a while since I've done the good ol' scouring of LinkedIn to find Windows Mobile 7 content, so I figured I would snap to it today to see what I could find. Luckily, I found a couple of great things along with a few honorable mentions! First, we'll start with what appears to be the name of a central element of Windows Mobile 7's user interface. If I'm not too far out of bounds here, I would venture to say the UI we're all familiar with in regards to WM7 is the one the following is speaking of:
Program Manager
Microsoft IDC, Hyderabad
(Information Technology and Services industry)
April 2008 — May 2008 (2 months)
Designed a completely New feature (Central Menu Experience) which is integrated in Windows Mobile 7. Responsible for getting Central Menu Experience features code-ready for CTP release well within specified time-frame. (Link)
"Central Menu Experience" does indeed sound like the perfect (if not downright obvious, but I'm not going to just assume) description for the UI we have seen in all the supposed Windows Mobile 7 screen shots, considering it all looks, well… central, I suppose. But as I've said before, I can't imagine Microsoft will actually launch Windows Mobile 7 using said UI. Perhaps it has been used for the CTP UI for developers/vendors working with it (considering the mention of Central Menu Experience features being code-ready for the CTP). Obligatory image:
Catalyst For WM Seven:
Client : Microsoft Corporation (Since December 2007 to May 2009)
Team Size/Role : 7/Onsite Coordinator
Description: Catalyst for Seven is designed to work with Windows Mobile powered devices. This is the next version of Windows Live for Windows Mobile. The new Windows Mobile 7 devices will give the richest mobile connection to Catalyst. Catalyst consists of Messenger, Mail, Spaces and Photos. All these applications help user keeping in touch with friends, family, and co-workers. (Link)
That one is fairly self-explanatory. Any of you Windows Mobile fanatics out there have any additional information on, "Catalyst?"
Lead Led a PM team and responsible for the strategies define, design and implementation for Windows Mobile 7 camera and photo application. (Link)
And now, for the honorable mentions:
On assignment at Microsoft to edit documentation for Windows Mobile 7. (Link)
Primary engineer on the touch gesture support in Windows Mobile 7 and 6.5 and did the initial specification of the touch gesture API. (Link)
Responsible for Windows Mobile 7 Outlook development. (Link)
Led HW Board bring-up activity effort for Window Mobile 7 OS based Mobile product having QUALCOMM 72xx chipset. The board bring up activities includes implementing MAX controller based keypad driver, configuring I2C and GPIO driver and coordinating HW-SW architecture meetings. (Link)
Beyond everything posted above, there were additional mentions of Windows Mobile 7, but they were all generic/vague, so I didn't worry about posting them. Likewise, I didn't elaborate as much as I wanted to on all of the information above, but I wanted to post something since it's been a while (things are busy here aside from the freelance journalism thing, so bear with me). With that in mind, I've got a lot more to post here in the near future, so stay tuned!

At least four million people are to be moved from the area around China's Three Gorges Dam amid warnings of an "environmental catastrophe".
The announcement by state media follows reports that the dam could cause landslides, soil erosion and pollution.
Critics have long warned the dam, the world's largest hydro-electric project, could cause huge environmental damage.
Millions of people are now set to be relocated to the sprawling city of Chongqing at the reservoir's west end.
The vice-mayor of the city, Yu Yuanmu, was quoted as saying the relocations were necessary to "protect the ecology of the reservoir area", which "has a vulnerable environment".
See a graphic and more details about the Three Gorges Dam
The $25bn (Ł12.5bn) project, across the country's biggest river, the Yangtze, is due to be completed by the end of 2008.
Two weeks ago the dam's head of construction, Wang Xiaofeng, said the ecological effects of the dam could not be ignored.
Relocated 'destitute'
The problems included landslides caused by erosion on the steep hills around the dam, conflicts over land shortages, deteriorating quality of drinking water and pollution seeping from submerged industrial sites.
Landslides crashing into the reservoir have then produced huge waves that have damaged the shoreline.
Many of those destined to be shunted to Chongqing over the next 10-15 years have already been moved once.
Some were fishermen and farmers who left their age-old villages, before they were flooded, to set up home higher up the valley.
"In the best situation, many people have put all their life savings into new homes that they built," says Grainne Ryder, of the Canadian monitoring group Probe International.
"To be told now that they have to start over, you know is not only tragic but may indeed lead to more protests, followed by more state brutality."
She said previous attempts to relocate peasants to the cities had had drastic consequences too.
"They're now homeless labourers, many people were not provided the land they were promised, or compensation they were promised, so they're destitute," she says.
Critics of the Three Gorges Dam warned of all the problems now emerging years ago, says the BBC's correspondent Chris Xia.
But the project was backed by powerful figures, like former Prime Minister Li Peng and former President Jiang Zemin, so opposition was quashed.
Official recognition of the problems, he says, seems to indicate an attempt by the current leadership to distance itself from the dam's toxic legacy.

The Final Wheel of Time Novel #14
January 2013
Hardcover, 912 Pages
Review copy courtesy of the publisher Tor
Here we are at the end of all things, at least in the Westlands, or as it has come to be known in fan speak, Randland. Thirteen books and a prequel have all lead to this point, the final confrontation between Rand al'Thor – the Dragon Reborn and avatar of good – and Shai'tan, the Dark One and source of evil in the world. For this final novel, A Memory of Light, to live up to the preamble and expectations is perhaps unfair and impossible. Though a flawed novel undoubtedly, I found a majority of the novel, moving, exciting and handled very well up to and including the conclusion. So the following will also be partially a personal note on the series as well as the concluding volume. Some spoilers will creep into this reaction/review, though I'll try limit that as much as possible.
I've been reading this series for the better part of a decade and a half. The only other series that has been with me as an ongoing series as long is Stephen King's Dark Tower. Like many people who have been reading the series for the same approximate timeframe, my interest, passion, and enjoyment for the series waned from about Winter's Heart to Knife of Dreams. Though this may seem blasphemous, Brandon Sanderson taking over the series re-awakened my enjoyment of the series. Rather, my will to read the series both because I've enjoyed all the novels I've read by Brandon and that an end was actually in sigh. I'd read much of his work prior reading his co-authored volumes of The Wheel of Time so I felt that the saga of Rand al'Thor and his friends from the Two Rivers was in capable hands and that yes, the series would see completion. As preparation for the final three volumes, I embarked on a re-read of the series beginning with a third reading of The Eye of the World just about three years ago. I was happy to rediscover how much I enjoyed this series and, beginning with The Gathering Storm, felt that Brandon did as good a job as could be expected with the series.
A Memory of Light is one of the larger novels in the series, clocking in at just over 900 pages in hardcover and at times, unfortunately, the story feels every bit of those 900 pages. Like all prior Wheel of Time installments, this one begins with a prologue, in this case detailing the fall of Caemlyn, highlighting the heroics of Talmanes, the man who was given command of Mat's Band of the Red Hand. The early portion of the novel is setting the table for Tarmon Gai'don as it is depicted in the chapter entitled "The Last Battle." Where the novel succeeds the most, for me, is in the character beats for a many of the primary characters. Rand came across as believable, Egwene's heroics were possibly the highlight of the novel for me, Perrin's storyline was a bit drawn, Mat's leadership abilities in battle were on full display and Lan's scenes, especially his Crowning Moment of Awesome was just that, awesome.
One of the Forsaken to have very little appearance throughout the series comes fully onto the scene in this novel. This point has been fairly contentious in the discussion regarding the novel I've seen, but for me, Demandred appearing through a gateway leading the people of Shara worked. Throughout the series, Shara was a land often shrouded in mystery that made the rough and abusive Seanchan philosophy towards channelers seem gentile. The crazed man known to the Sharans as Bao the Wyld was a powerful force and worked for me as a metaphor of unplanned events that can happen in any battle or war. Sanderson and Team Jordan could have taken the culmination of confrontation between the Forces of Light with Demandred in one direction, but ultimately, the eventual resolution worked extremely well for me.
Other elements, didn't work so well, unfortunately. For all the build-up and tension surrounding the return of Moiraine in Towers of Midnight her presence in the final volume was minimal. The Last Battle chapter was vaunted prior to release for containing so many words (it is indeed large enough to be a novel unto itself) and so many view points, but ultimately I found it to be tedious. The battlefield movements and elements in this chapter paralleled, to a degree, Rand al'Thor's more symbolic and metaphorical confrontation with the Dark One in Shayol Ghul. These more philosophical scenes, I found, worked better as a culmination of –some– of the themes of the series.
The ending of the book and the series is half rewarding and half frustrating. While going into this novel expecting EVERYTHING to resolve perfectly would be a mistake, Rand al'Thor's role as savior worked well up to a point. The 'last scene that Jordan wrote' I felt was fitting, even if some of the logistics of it were more frustrating in the specifics.
The US cover of the novel by Michael Whelan is a great piece of art, depicting Rand's entrance to Shayol Ghul with Moiraine and Nynaeve as his 'back ups' for enacting a key stroke in his battle against Moridin, the reincarnated Ishamael. It would have been nice for long-time (and often derided) series artist Darrell K. Sweet's art to adorn the final cover, but sadly he passed away in December 2011, before the book was complete. In the end, the large image of Rand al'Thor will become one of Whelan's most iconic images, especially considering his image of Rand is one that Harriet McDougal, Robert Jordan's widow, has waited "20 years to see."
As a fan of the series, the good elements of the novel were very good. The character beats and some of the "what will happen" questions being answered were powerful, moving and satisfying. From a more critical perspective, the novel was much like the series itself, overlong at times and a frustrating disconnect between imagination/ideas and execution. On the whole, the novel was satisfying, despite some of the flaws that prevented me from enjoying the novel more fully. A bittersweet novel in many ways, for both the generalness of what it is and the specifics; it is the final novel in the series that Jordan was unable to see published, and a novel that could in practically no way live up to every expectation laid upon it. Despite this, The Wheel of Time is a series that will always hold a special place on my bookshelves and one I will likely revisit in the future.

On Tap Today: Marcus Center will rock you
This past summer's movie musical "Rock of Ages" may have been a bomb, but '80s rock is still plenty popular in Milwaukee. This week alone features Journey, Pat Benatar and Loverboy at a joint concert at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Friday. And at 7:30 p.m. tonight, you can see the music of Journey and Pat Benatar rearranged for the legitimate theater, as traveling stage musical "Rock of Ages" returns to Milwaukee for a six-date engagement at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St. The tour was last here less than 18 months ago, with a couple dates at the Milwaukee Theatre and "American Idol" alum Constantine Maroulis in the lead role.
Obviously, Milwaukee's '80s rock lovers haven't stopped believin'. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Michelle Grabner named curator for Whitney Biennial
The Whitney Biennial is the only exhibit in the country that even attempts to showcase the best contemporary art being made in the U.S. It's an impossible job, really, and people love and hate the every-two-years show at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
In its vigilant attempt to get it right, the Whitney has experimented with its curatorial strategies many times over the years. And it is doing so again. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Brad Pitt, 'Killing Them Softly' take aim at crime genre
Crime films are not one-size-fits-all affairs. If you've seen one, you haven't seen them all. It only seems you have because certain elements are recurring: all-male settings filled with violence and extreme characters who are hard-boiled or Runyonesque.
Crime still pays today, but it takes more than generic felonious acts and heinous characters to move the needle. »Read Full Article

Does "Jewish Heritage" Make Someone a Flight Risk? The Feds Say Yes
Aficionados of "The Godfather" trilogy may remember the travails of Hyman Roth, played by the iconic acting teacher Lee Strasberg (pictured). In Part II, Roth, who falls out of favor with Michael Corleone, flees to Israel. But the High Court of Israel turns down his request to live as a 'returned Jew.' And, upon Roth's return to the U.S., Corleone's men assassinate him in the Miami airport.
It's a finer point of the plot, but its lessons could be applicable to what, until now, has perhaps struck many as a rather provincial story. You'll remember Sholom Rubashkin, a former senior exec at Agriprocessors, a kosher meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa, where nearly 400 workers were detained in a May immigration raid. That was followed by an array of state and federal charges against Rubashkin for alleged child labor and immigration violations. Then, last month, Agriprocessors filed for bankruptcy.
The latest: The Justice Department is contending that Rubashkin should be denied bail in part because he, like all Jews, is entitled to Israeli citizenship if he seeks to immigrate to the Jewish state. Here's a report from the WSJ's Jess Bravin.
Bravin writes that the argument against Rubashkin could in theory apply to all Jewish criminal suspects. But the government says that, following the May raid, two of the several managers and supervisors that were charged — both of whom are believed to be Israeli citizens — fled to Israel. Bob Teig, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Cedar Rapids, said the government is not singling out Jews, but "making an argument related to citizenship. If someone was a citizen of Guatemala or had dual citizenship" with that country, a similar argument would apply, he said.
Prosecutors reportedly cited several reasons that Rubashkin, 49, is a flight risk, including a large amount of cash found in a travel bag in his home, along with his birth certificate and passports for some of his 10 children. They also argued that Rubashkin's "Jewish heritage" made him a "de facto dual citizen" who could abscond to Israel.
Rubashkin's attorney, Baruch Weiss of the firm Arent Fox, said the government's argument discriminates against Jews. The Justice Department's position "means that 5,300,000 Americans would be viewed as heightened bail risks simply because they are Jews," he argues in legal papers.
Israel's 1950 Law of Return, notes the WSJ, states that "every Jew has the right to come to this country" with limited exceptions such as those with a criminal past. Washington and Jerusalem signed an extradition treaty in 1962, but federal prosecutors long complained about roadblocks to bringing Israeli defendants to the U.S. for trial.

Opportunity knocks for Jordie Benn, Brenden Dillon
Tuesday, 01.15.2013 / 11:59 AM CT / News
By Mark Stepneski
With the tradeof Mark Fistric to the Edmonton Oilers for a third round draft pick in 2013, opportunity is knocking for Jordie Benn and Brenden Dillon.
The two defensemen, who came into training camp vying for the final roster spot on the Dallas blue line, are now in the hunt for a spot in the opening night lineup when the Stars take on Phoenix at American Airlines Saturday.
"It's huge for us," said Benn. "We've been working hard for this, but we've got to work harder to get in the lineup and stay in the lineup."
"It's definitely an opportunity I am looking to seize," said Dillon. "This is where I wanted to be from day one. I want to be a Dallas Star and I want the Dallas Stars to do as well as they can."

My wife and I received the April issue of Cooking Light a few days ago and she tried the Luscious Lemon Cake recipe on page 126. Although the cake has a rich lemon flavor, it came out heavy and gummy. The icing was fine and very tastety.
Could someone share any info they may have on ways to make cakes and breads lighter? What factors affect how light and moist a cake is: quality of ingredients, baking time, mixing technique, etc?
Thanks for any help you can provide and sharing your expertise!

August 6, 2007
AUGUSTA, Ga.---A deputy is recovering after being dragged in a police chase. The driver of the car is also recovering--from a gunshot wound.
Investigators say this all started at Tubman Home Road and Tudor Drive in Augusta, and ended at Wilkinson Gardens Elementary School. A witness tells News 12 a deputy, Ryan Giacomo, pulled Danny Hughes over for speeding and found that he'd been drinking and there were warrants for his arrest.
Somehow, Giacomo got caught in the vehicle. Hughes pulled away, dragging the deputy along. Deputy Giacomo shot Hughes in the arm to get loose.
The car went a few blocks before crashing into a tree near the elementary school. Hughes jumped out and ran, but was arrested shortly thereafter.
Giacomo has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.

I've got a problem on AIX 5.3 using C++ RunTime 126.96.36.199, which is
returning ENOMEM
with a 2GB heap. The core file is 300MB, so there is no way we are
even close to
2GB. I tried to write a small test case to expose this failure,
and was surprised
because it crashed every AIX malloc algorithm I know of.
1. Is there something wrong with my testcase?
The whole point is to put all the wood behind one arrow and aim it
at malloc/free.
2. Does this testcase fail in other environments?
"Not so much" in AIX 5.1 and 5.2, is my experience.
Perhaps the "lock free" malloc algorithms are responsible?
The big idea behind the testcase is to run N threads very hard,
and cache a total of nMem previous allocations, and then start
freeing them in LIFO fashion, and allocate a new (random sized)
block in its place.
The code runs in 32-bit or 64-bit mode; I tend to push 64-bit.
Run for 30 seconds with 256 threads:
new64 30 256

--- The algorithm ---
1. atomicly increment an index pointer into the "gNew[]" array.
n = (fetch_and_addlp((atomic_l)&nNew, 1)) % nMEM;
The number wraps around nMEM.
2. Free the memory address at gNew[n] and allocate a new block.
delete gNew[n];
rSize = 0x0fffffff & rand_r(&Seed); // 0:268,435,455
gNew[n] = new char[rSize];
memset(gNew[n], 1, rSize);
Note: delete NULL is ok.
3. When the number of allocations (nNew) exceeds nMEM,
then start freeing previous allocations before allocating new
4. memset() is just there to ensure the heap is filled with something.
The size of the core file is a hint about how much memory was
--- Notes ---
The application I'm testing is C++, which has lots of new/delete code.
This program puts pressure on new/delete to perform according to
The idea is to hang onto memory that is allocated (for awhile).
If you new/delete memory, you won't use much of the heap,
nor exercise the malloc subsystem very much.
The test hangs onto nMem allocations, then deletes them in LIFO
The output from the program (that doesn't crash) is:
$ new64 30 256

"Code Worriers"
"memset" in the test is unnecessary.
If you think it might contribute to heap corruption, then comment it
(malloc/free will still crash)
The return value from "fetch_and_addLP()" is the original value.
This is the index into gNew[] array. The testcase starts with "0',
and the first value returned is also "0", and continues until we wrap
at nMem.
I am concerned mostly about AIX 5.3 on very fast processors
(Power5, Power5++, Power6). But other machines also fail in
malloc if they are given enough "pressure".
The program prints out the number of new/delete combinations for
each thread. It is an indication of "schedule fairness".
If the numbers are evenly distributed, it means threads are not
locking up because of mutex operations within malloc.

Ahluwalia contends the label is still the deciding factor. "Indian men base their buying decision on exclusivity and brand recognition and very rarely on design innovation," he says. Agrees Mishra, who says that branding is critical in shaping buying decisions. For instance, if an Armani shirt with a visible logo was sold along with one where the branding is not clear, Indians by nature would pick the one with the obvious branding.
The Price is Right
According to Technopak, the luxury market in India is set to reach $30 billion by 2015. Little wonder then that the men are being wooed by the western sartorialists. The latest cuts, colours, fabrics are here, fresh from the foreign runways. But a luxury suit comes at a price.

"Clans" (クラン Kuran) are the factions in Cardfight!! Vanguard, and which each card belongs to one. Likewise, each clan also belongs to a nation. In card text, the name of a clan is mentioned within "《》" in the Japanese version, and within "«»" in the English version.
Clans have some Unique Races and Shared Races in them. Unique Races found in most of the clans sometimes make up their main theme to represent themselves with their unique traits. For example, Megacolony is based exclusively on Insects.
These themes may be used to form a deck, and they are usually themed around a certain ability or trait, such as preventing your opponent's units from Standing, Locking your opponent's units, calling units from the drop zone, drawing cards, etc.
Originally, most cards had restrictions that prevent players from adding cards from other clans (such as Lord or requiring a vanguard from the same clan to use their effects) to discourage clan mixing, however, mixing clans was allowed and wasn't necessarily a bad idea in some cases (Such as Overlord/Tri-stinger in Aqua Force decks, or Stil Vampir/Silent Tom in Oracle Think Tank decks). As the introduction of Clan Fight regulation in February 2014 (paralleling the airing of Season 4) essentially outlaws decks with two or more clan (except for some exceptional cases), such restrictions in later cards were removed as they are no longer necessary.
Originally, most clans (outside of "main" ones like Kagerō and Shadow Paladin) only had 4 cards (from grade 0 to 3) and no trigger units in the set they were introduced.
In Cardfight!! Vanguard G, top-level fighters (like Mamoru Anjou) are honored with the title of "Clan Leader".

Etranger also belongs to Star Gate for classification purposes. However, it was created for the sole purpose of cameo cards. As Etranger does not have their own trigger units to build a single clan deck, it essentially makes all but one (due to Dual Clanning) illegal in clan fight regulations.
Cray Elemental cards belonged to all clans and nations due to its own ability. They are represented in rainbow color.
These two clans appeared as non-tournament legal joke cards.
