Press Release: WIAA Selects Eight for LEAP Class of 2018 EXPAND
RENTON, Wash. – Eight incoming juniors from around the state of Washington were recently selected to join the WIAA LEAP (Leadership through Education Activities and Personal Development) Committee, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) announced Tuesday. Committee members will have the unique opportunity to represent the voice of Washington's 225,000+ high school student participants. The eight incoming juniors selected are:
Jade Chamberlin - Connell High School
Aaron Davenport - Cedarcrest High School
Kathy Le - Foss High School
Tabitha Messineo - Puyallup High School
Lexi Mikkelsen - Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) High School
Dylan Mooers - Tumwater High School
Ford Powers - Chiawana High School
Eddie Rojas - Lake Washington High School The selected students completed a thorough application process which included an online application, a short essay explaining why athletics and activities are important, three letters of recommendation, and a video personal statement about their school and why they should be selected. This year saw a record number of applicants with over 110 total submissions. The new Committee members will serve a two-year term, joining eight seniors who just finished their first term during the 2015-16 school year. "The WIAA LEAP Committee has become a priority of the Association to make sure the voice of the students is heard," WIAA Executive Director Mike Colbrese said. 2016-17 will mark the 10th school year of the LEAP Committee. Members of the Committee collectively represent each of the WIAA's six classifications and nine districts. The group is scheduled to meet five times throughout the 2016-17 school year. Meetings consist of guest speakers, leadership exercises, peer discussions, and group projects. Committee members will attend a retreat in August during the summer before their senior year. The retreat combines physical outdoor adventures and team building exercises, while evaluating the previous year and providing opportunity for goal-setting for the upcoming year. In addition to attending the five meetings and the retreat, each student is required to write a blog about their school that is highlighted on the WIAA website and social media streams during each year they are on the Committee. The students also plan and implement the Coins for a Cause Fundraiser that raises money for Special Olympics Washington and InvestED at State Basketball and State Football. Returning to serve their second term in 2016-17 are incoming seniors Megan Drake (South Whidbey High School), Feven Fessehatzion (Lindbergh High School), Michael Larson (Everett High School), Lindsey Lindgren (Oakesdale High School), Drake Mitby (Ocosta High School), Jordan Oakes (Holy Names Academy), Cameron Read (Goldendale High School), and Keithen Shepard (Union High School). The first meeting of the 2016-17 school year is scheduled for Sunday, September 18, 2016.

Russell Sage Foundation, Small Grants in Behavioral Economics
Applications for the small grants program in behavioral economics are accepted on a rolling basis. Grants are awarded for high-quality research. There are no limitations on the disciplinary background of the principal investigator, and the proposed research may address any topic in behavioral economics. However, projects must contribute to the foundation's mission to improve the social and living conditions in the U.S. Appropriate projects will demonstrate explicit use of psychological concepts in the motivation of the research design and the preparation of the results. Experimental projects which do not have substantial behavioral content (such as market experiments testing neoclassical ideas) or substantial economic content (such as psychology experiments with no economic choices or strategic or market implications) will not be funded. There is a $7,500 lifetime limit for these small grants. Applicants must be advanced doctoral students or postdoctoral/junior (non-tenured) faculty members who have been out of graduate school for two or fewer years. Visit the foundation's website for more details.
National Endowment for the Humanities, Fellowship Program
Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions support qualified centers and institutions to offer NEH fellowships in the humanities. Scholars can pursue their research while benefitting from the center's special resources or its location abroad and the collegial association with other fellows. The link above provides a list of fellowship opportunities supported by NEH Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions grants. Interested applicants should contact the organizations or centers directly; some of the institutions support pre-doctoral students with non-NEH funding.

Will also keep this updated.
*Updated every February 5th.
Customary MUBI list.
I'm still not sold on Netflix- never to this date I've ran into a film that I wanted to watch on it. At least in terms of this region, which doesn't count with as much content as the US or Canada one. Similar issues with iTunes… and Amazon is out of the question.
I used to subscribe to MUBI for a long while (at least for a bit over a year), but eventually turned off my subscription because I wasn't watching anything, while things I had added to my watchlist stopped being available, and the selection of their films eventually was reduced to their now curated content. I'm only subscribed to EROSNOW now, and have seen a few couple of films there, but had to turn to other mediums when found links that were region-restricted or surprisingly without subtitles.
My experience with streaming has been decent- and for as cheap as $5-9 bucks you can watch a lot in a month, and it just makes your life quite easy. Similar flawless experience with my first Vimeo On Demand watch. Thanks Joss Whedon for the heads up, and actually putting the film up there right after its premiere. To top it all off, subtitles in Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Japanese (plus English CC) were available making it the smoothest watch if you decided to watch it with any bunch of people.
Paying $5 to stream a new movie can seem like the best way possible to make it look as if you're going to the cinema. It takes me back to those days where I would watch 2 or 3 new movies a weekend. If studios ever decided to really go off their way to online distribute their new movies almost simultaneously, I'd be willing.
Here's In Your Eyes.
Apparently Vimeo streaming is not as smooth (or at all) if you don't have a Vimeo account, though. Take it as a good chance to get one, or don't complain. I really don't know any other streaming (paying) website that would let you use their content without an account. You need one in iTunes, in Amazon, in Netflix, HBO, et all. So please, people, stop complaining about THAT.
I really can't remember exactly when I started out the Top Flicks About Chicks list on MUBI, but it must have been around the same time I wrote how Chick Flicks was a doomed genre in regards of critics. So it might be almost 4 years… and I've finally reached 300 titles in the list!!!
A Chick Flick should center on little girls, girls, young women and women… as students, as neighbors, as friends, as daughters, as granddaughters, as sisters, as mothers, as lovers. They are simply women. With that alone, we can tell all sort of other stories that have little to do with romantic comedies.
The purpose of the list, of course, was to encompass an array of female character — not only in the binary sense, since the list also includes men/boys who identify as women/girls… and viceversa — of various cultural, ethnic, social backgrounds. Not favoring one genre over the other, not valuing dramas over comedies… just simple stories about different women.
Though I'm sure the list could be longer, that's 300 feature length films out of the 2896 (counting shorts) currently rated on the site- that's roughly 10% so I suppose the list could expand to up to 500 or maybe 1000 once I reach 5000 or 10000 rated films on the site.
I picked 25 of the 300 films to illustrate some of the variety (I hope it's AS varied as I intend the list to be), though I ran out of picks and couldn't include any of the 'older' female characters. If I could pick 5 more, they'd be: Lemon Tree, Frozen River, Late Bloomers, Mother, For 80 Days.
I always got confused about American and Canadian thanksgiving~
I know a lot of people who visit are from the US, so Happy Thanksgiving guys! Hope you eat a lot — that's me wishing you the best in Asian-talk — and that the crazy cold or hot (depending on where you are) doesn't get to you.
Don't have any Thanksgiving-y photo~
I won't be posting daily because I found that posting so much online makes it impossible for me to work on the YAM Magazine website. I will still be tweeting for the YAM Mag Twitter account, the YAM Mag Facebook Group, or you know… you can follow my movie-watching on MUBI.

You know the situation: you have set everything up for the client who wants to manage himself the content of his website. You teached him not to copy-paste directly from MS Word, and you told him to upload images at a reasonable size.
Of course, WP has been configured to resize all images appropriately, so there is nothing to worry ...
except that the customer will upload 10 MB images from his camera, at sizes of 5000 x 3000 px ... and WP won't produce any thumbnails for those, as the resizing exceeds the memory limit.
Question: can we define a maximum pixel width (of, say 2000px in any direction) beyond which the user will simply get a warning message?
Setting an upload limit in MB for any uploads would be no good though, since we should allow the upload of a 15 MB pdf, for instance.

Not a bad place to stay really. The staff are really friendly here and will help you out with finding your way around etc. The breakfast was also really nice, choice of eggs and fruit. Location is walking distance to imperial city and then restaurants and shops close by. Our room was a double and it was really nice, loved having a bath! Not really a place to meet other travellers though.

You get what you pay for here. We split a room for 4 people so the space was nice. The beds weren't comfortable but I've slept in worse in Asia. The breakfast was alright and they gave us fruit and tea when we checked in which was nice. If you rent motorbikes from them make sure you get a helmet that's not broken and how much fuel you have (they told us it was full but we were almost empty once we turned them on it was almost empty).

it could easily repeat today's pattern. It may open lower then today's closing price and continue to climb up to 2.25-2.5Its going up on leaking of the earning's report. Until Wed we will see a climb.After Wes anythign can happen.
where will it open Monday?
If it goes to 3 I will be very happywith 2.5 still happy
I think the assessment of Michangelo is closeas is yours at $2.50$2.85 was the previous base from the April runon nothing of consiquence.so $2.85 10% variable======$3.10----$2.50your a conservative and I'll sell at $2.49
16-Apr-04 2.85 10.00 2.85 4.29 11,499,400 $2.88 my price for Pre-earnings the base price for the previous run and chart deliniations show a probability that with the "CORRECT NEWS" === speculation that the performance should equal the previous base areai my opinionuse stockchart or, and check the pattern, dilution dates, volume over the previous monthsand price/revenues, I could be off by 12%either direction.if the CEO gives guidance and its what I thinkit could be, if given$5.50

PE Gets Ready to Unleash a Wave of IPOs
Nielsen's IPO this week is likely to kick off a wave of public offerings of companies backed back private equity.
The last time the PE industry unleashed a flood of IPOs, from 2004 to 2006, it resulted in annual returns of about 35% for the leveraged-buyout firms and their investors.
This time around? Well, investors shouldn't get their hopes up, Gregory Zuckerman reported earlier this week. Most the companies in the latest expected IPO wave were taken private at the top of the market and had huge amounts of debt piled on their balance sheets. That means the proceeds of any IPO often will be used to pay down debt rather than reward private-equity investors.
Take Blackstone, for example. The PE giant has been busy this week. Not only was it an investor in this week's IPO of Nielsen, but another of its portfolio companies, BankUnited, is expected to go public tomorrow. In the case of Nielsen, the firm said before going public it would use any cash raised to pay down debt, some of it held by private-equity backers, rather than lavish big rewards on LBO investors.
Blackstone's co-founder, Stephen Schwarzman, talked to Bloomberg TV in Davos about the buyout industry and the outlook for initial public offerings.
Schwarzman wasn't the only PE honcho chatting with Bloomberg TV from World Economic Forum. Below David Rubenstein, Carlyle Group co-founder, offers up his thoughts on the industry and the IPO market.

Heya all, I would like to inform that I'm still working on the set of packages, and that shortly I should have all of them built up. After that I will release the installer. For now I can tell that lots of stuff have been updated to gnome 3.20.1 and many things started to work by themselves as expected.
Right now the work has been concentrated to get all stuff built and its not missing a lot. I have also started to work on GDM so we can finally have it working as expected. GDM is an older version as this is the one which not requires systemd. So we will stick with that one.
I will launch here an request for help with the new default GDM wallpaper for dropline GNOME, anybody interested in doing it ?
If yes, please contact us.
The dropline GNOME development team.
Hello, first of all apologies for the long time no posting anything in here. Life goes on busy and therefore hobbies are a left a bit aside.
I take this opportunity also to wish you all my best wishes for the new year and Easter holidays. Project still moves on step by step but I want to make clear that for sure it does not have the same speed as it had in the past. Reasons ? Many of them, first one "horse power" or better lack of developers, organizational issues and so on…..
To make the things a bit more interesting I want to tell you that I have been working last few weeks on the dropline GNOME 3.20 packages, and that up to now I have some important result. Right now I'm writing this from the future dropline GNOME 3.20 desktop. It is still just a early development pre-alpha packages and available for for what will shortly become slackware 14.2 . So to be clear, right now I have gnome-shell up and running bot only from another XFCE session started with the gnome-shell –replace from an xfce terminal.
To tell the truth it is difficult to say right now what exactly will be in this release, but we can say that it will be a release which
will have no systemd, no wayland and all the PAM stuff we always shipped. GDM right now is an 3.16.x series which is not working but its the one I have been able to build without systemd. Wayland from the other side does not seem a big issue, as from what I can see right now it seems to work. Maybe for the release we have to add it later for some reason, but we will be able to decide that probably at the time. For now I will say we will not include it.
It is still too early to tell how things will evolve, but here we are and I work on it. The installing method will be the same we used last time, so PackageKit. For other things I have no idea on how it will evolve.
I want also to thank very vey much PV and the Slackware team to have made the super upcoming release with Pulse Audio and a lot of updated dependencies which right now smells a lot lot less of work for us here.
Here are some screenshots for you , and remember if you want to help, you are very welcome. To contact with me probably the best way is to
subscribe to the dropline-gnome-devel mailing list on Sourceforge project page, or if you want you can check if you see me available in the
#dropline channel on irc.freenode.net .
Thats it, enjoy and hopefully we have a nice new release for the time of Slackware 14.2 !

Hilarity ensues when Edward and Alice come back at the end of New Moon and convince Mrs. Cope to change their schedules so that they're in Bella's gym class. How can they manage to remain human when their superhuman athletic abilities keep getting in the way? Because people keep asking, I'll answer: yes! There is a Princess Bride reference in every chapter. Some are more subtle than others.
AU | New Moon
His dangerously black eyes looked up at her desperately, a painful cry left his throat as he collapsed to the tile floor, her thin arms still fiercely clung to him. She traced the scars on his back. "Bella, I need you to say it..I can't..please..."
His fingernails dug deeper into her bare thighs as the rest of his body started to tremble.
What would happen if Jasper got to Bella in New Moon at her birthday party?

Students are also allowed to drive a myriad of school cars and are given a limittless credit card. This seems like every kid's dream come true--or is it really a nightmare?
Follow six students as they unravel the mysteries behind the school and discover a plot that could affect all mankind.
Vampire brothers Edward, Emmett, and Jasper are stuck at age 17 forever. Unfortunately, though all of them have lived for over 100 years, they have very little experience with dating girls, especially modern ones. What happens when their vampire powers and inexperience collide? Will the results prevent them from winning the hearts of the girls they love?
If you like humor, angst, and edge of your seat, nail-biting cliff hangers, you'll like this story.
Edward is a lonely homesteading cowboy in northern Nevada, Bella is a mail order bride full of secrets. What happens when Edward discovers her lies? Can he forgive her? Can she measure up?

Then, after a very long time, I noticed that I was being charged over thirty dollars a month. I asked them why, and they said it was because I had ordere Norton Commander over a year ago. Plus I had ordered "fine tune". I was told that "fine tune" was free. And I absolutely did not order Norton Commander. I had heard too many bad things about it.
I had been talking to tech support, and the guy asked me if I wanted Norton Commander, and I said NO. The guy said "I'll send it to you and you can just try it out for free" and I still said NO. Well, about a week later, a disc comes in the mail but I never loaded it in.
Well, when I found out I was being charged over 30 dollars per month for way over a year, I asked them why, and they said I had ordered "fine tune" and Norton Commander. I told them I did not order Norton Commander and did not even have it, and "fine tune" was supposed to be free.
They said they would give me a refund, but only for the last two months!!! The get to keep all the money they overcharged me!!
Then when I had the service turned off, I found that they had charged me 4.95 for my primary email address. I told them that it was supposed to be free, and they said "it is free, but when you turn our service off, we charge you 4.95 for it"!!
I called Consumer Affairs and was told that there is no governing body over internet providers. So the only thing you can do is sue them. I wish someone would do a class action suit to make these services be honest with the customers.

Moving to the cloud is no more a question of 'when' but 'how'. Organizations do not ask whether 'they should take to the cloud'; instead the question is 'what is the right approach to maximize business value from the cloud?'Challenges and opportunitiesMoving to the cloud can be challenging. As you go along the cloud adoption journey, you must choose between and partner with multiple providers for infrastructure, platforms, and applications. This introduces complexities in rapid provisioning, managing fragmented cloud environments, dealing with multiple providers, and ensuring enterprise-wide governance.

Jake Tapper Proves He Has A Pair!
Jake Tapper has come a long way from the RCA Victor Puppy Dog he used to portray on many of his interviews, head cocked aside, silly deferential expression front and center. Yep. He has my admiration going head to head with Mr. Manafort of the Trump campaign. Mr Manafort is no shrinking violet himself manifesting a strongman presence guaranteed to make the strongest of media types take a second thought before confronting him. Yep. Jake gotta pair.

If you don't help me, you're going to wind up with this miniaturized submersible pod floating around your insides with this teeny tiny human skeleton at the helm.->'''Jack''': Ugh.->'''Tuck''': Not a pretty thought!A 1987 sci-fi comedy starring Dennis Quaid, Martin Short and Creator/MegRyan. Rather surprisingly not the huge hit it was anticipated to become at the time, it has since attained to cult classic status as one of the quintessential 80's popcorn flicks.Quaid plays Tuck Pendleton, a Navy pilot assigned to pilot an experimental submersible that is to be shrunk down and injected into a rabbit. Unfortunately, bad guys after the shrinking technology break into the lab, and one of the scientists, escaping with the syringe containing the shrunken sub with Pendleton in it, is forced to inject Pendleton into unwitting Safeway clerk Jack Putter.''Then'' [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs things get weird]]. (Well, weird''er''.)The film was directed by Creator/JoeDante, produced by Creator/StevenSpielberg and features special effects by Rob Bottin, which might help give you an idea of what you're in for.Not to be confused with cult classic PC game ''VideoGame/OperationInnerSpace''----!!Tropes used in this film:* ActionSurvivor: Jack, to a "T."* AdrenalineMakeover: Jack, again. A rare male example, and in the most literal sense possible. Tuck ''literally'' stimulates Jack's adrenal gland!* AlmostOutOfOxygen: Tuck has a very limited supply of oxygen, so Jack must get him (and the chips) back to the lab before it runs out. A RaceAgainstTheClock begins.* AndTheAdventureContinues: At the end of the film, a newly-empowered Jack sees [[spoiler:the Cowboy disguised as Tuck and Lydia's limo driver (with Scrimshaw and Dr. Canker hidden in the trunk, but Jack doesn't know it)]] and chases after them.* AppliedPhlebotinum: The whole plot [[MacGuffin revolves around]] retrieving the one-of-a-kind miniaturization/re-enlargement chips. Both projects have entire, working installations devoted to the miniaturization process, but for some reason even the villainous rivals need exactly the same chips as the government-funded laboratory.* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Mr. Igoe.]]* AwesomeButImpractical: Using robot arms to place the chips. Lampshaded when an impatient scientist grabs the chip from the robot and puts it in manually (he ''do'' gets a jolt because of it, though).* BigBad: Victor Scrimshaw.* BondOneLiner: "Congratulations, Jack. You just ''digested'' the bad guy." Jack then burps.* BrickJoke: "Who's the Cowboy?!" "That's, er, classified."* CharacterDevelopment: Jack grows from a nerdy, cowardly hypochondriac to a man with a zest for adventure over the course of the movie.* ChaseScene: Involving Tuck's Mustang chasing the refrigerated truck where Jack was held captive.* ChekhovsGun:** The Spinners' song "Cupid".** Jack's allergy to hairspray.* ComputerVoice: The computer aboard the...* CoolShip: Tuck's minisub, reminiscent of the ''[[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey Discovery]]'''s space pods, and armed with an amazing array of gadgets and sensors. It even recognized Jack's human physiology immediately and auto-mapped it despite having been programmed to go into a ''rabbit''.* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Jack. Well, actually Tuck helped him a little...* DareToBeBadass: Tuck gives a minor RousingSpeech to Jack when the latter is trapped in a refrigerator truck by Scrimshaw and Mr. Igoe. It works ''a little too well'', or, at least, a little too early -- the truck is still moving!* DecoyProtagonist: Ozzie. He has an elaborate chase scene with the bad guys but eventually gets killed, right after pulling a silent ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin to the real hero Jack.* DepravedBisexual: The Cowboy seemed oddly... ''excited'' when Jack aggressively bursts into his hotel room while he's in his underwear. He even excitedly exclaims "Big Jack!"* TheDragon: Mr Igoe.* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Jack's dream about the old lady with a (cigarette lighter) gun and the high prices of her groceries.* DrowningMySorrows: Tuck, a washed-out Naval Aviator, was already an alcoholic ''before'' Lydia dumped him, then he got worse. Although he claims to have sobered up before the miniaturization project, it's obvious to his coworkers that he's off the wagon (and also to the audience, judging by all the bottles he keeps stashed away in odd places in his apartment).* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Cowboy, {{Badass}} master of industrial espionage, counterfeit, smuggling, and snakeskin clothing.* ExactTimeToFailure: Tuck has a very limited supply of oxygen, so Jack must get him (and the chips) back to the lab before it runs out.* ExplosiveDecompression: What would happen to the minisub if the cockpit were breached, which is why Tuck can't just go to the lungs to resupply his oxygen tanks.* {{Fainting}}: Scrimshaw's blond {{mook|s}} [[RunningGag keeps passing out]] amidst too much excitement.* {{Fanservice}}: For the ladies [[HoYay and others]], a long glimpse at Dennis Quaid's bare ass.* FantasticVoyagePlot: Self-explanatory. The effects are still awesome enough to be a deep well of {{Squick}} for some viewers.* ForScience: What the original government project was intended for. The rival lab, on the other hand, has more lucrative goals in mind.* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Jack gets slapped as he is having a psychotic breakdown behind the cash register.* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Mr. Igoe puts on his Walkman as he drives the truck Jack is imprisoned in. Naturally, he never even realizes he's involved in a ChaseScene.* HearingVoices: Justified. Tuck communicates with his host via an electronic linkup in Jack's ear, and naturally Jack initially thinks he is insane when he hears Tuck's voice inside his head.* HeelFaceTurn: Tuck's "friend" and government money man Pete Blanchard is quite the ruthless S.O.B. early in the film, willing to sacrifice Tuck's life to ensure the survival of Dr. Niles' project, but then randomly at the end turns up to personally chauffeur Jack back to Niles' lab to save Tuck.* HeroicSacrifice: Scientist Ozzie Wexler dies via a gunshot to the back whilst injecting Tuck into Jack.* HollywoodAcid: Jack's stomach -- especially [[StrippedToTheBone what it does to]] [[spoiler:Mr. Igoe]] in the final battle. (Thanks a whole lot, Rob Bottin.)* HotScientist: Margret Canker, ''and how''.* HotScoop: Lydia.* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: After being shot, Ozzie uses the last of his strength to inject nearby passer-by Jack with the syringe containing the miniaturized submersible.* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: Jack ''believes'' he is one of this. As it happens, he's the ultimate hypochondriac, to the point he might really give himself a heart-attack by stressing out over having a heart-attack.* ImplacableMan: Mr. Igoe redefines the trope.* ImprobablyCoolCar: Tuck's pristine red Mustang convertible.* IntrepidReporter: Lydia, Tuck's girlfriend.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tuck. Pompous and alcoholic but if you need him he can help you and give you good advices.* LatexPerfection: Thanks to the little guy inside you who can stimulate your facial nerves ''just'' so. ([[PanderingToTheBase Real reason]]: because every Joe Dante movie needs a TransformationSequence, that's why.)* LockedInAFreezer: Jack is trapped in a meat truck at freezing temperature.* LoveTriangle: More or less. Jack is attracted to Lydia who still loves Tuck but has some minor affection for Jack, as evidenced by still wanting to kiss Jack after Jack asks Tuck to shut down and the lingering glance at Jack before she gets in the limo ''at her wedding''.* MadScientist:** Dr. Canker. With a touch of MadDoctor.** Dr. Niles. Dr. Canker is sort of his DistaffCounterpart.* MagicFeather: Jack, when he thinks Tuck is still inside him and feeding him doses of adrenaline, rescues Lydia bravely.* MayDecemberRomance: Implied with [[spoiler: Wendy and Dr. Greenbush after Jack ditches her]]. * MiniatureSeniorCitizens: The villain couple getting miniaturized.* MisappliedPhlebotinum: The miniaturization process is described as "breaking an object down to its component particles to 'compile' a microscopic version of the object". The first part would be called "destructive uploading", and is actually being seriously researched both for machines and people (there are ethical concerns for people, as even if you can perfectly reconstruct the human, it's still essentially murder by perfect [[DisposingOfABody body disposal]], but it's a secret government project doing it meaning ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem). But if they can "compile" Tuck as a human the size of an amoeba while retaining his intelligence, ''then they have a computer chip that makes the NSA's best stuff as of today look like an abacus.'' [[FridgeBrilliance You'd need that kind of processing power to upload stuff]], but that's civilization-changing technology. And they're using it, with NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup, on a ''rabbit'', as a precursor to fitting people with sensory-jacking surveillance equipment. ReedRichardsIsUseless.* MultitaskedConversation: Confusing talk in the hospital, when Tuck (inside Jack) tries to talk to Jack who believes some patients are talking to him.* MundaneMadeAwesome: Thanks to Joe Dante, DP Andrew Lazlo, and the late Jerry Goldsmith, a glass full of ice (which Tuck will end up drinking from) becomes a mysterious background for the film's title card.* MySecretPregnancy: [[spoiler:Lydia, who keeps it from Tuck. The thing is, when he found out (in the ''weirdest'' way possible, mind you), he was crying tears of joy. Referenced again at the end when Tuck's first words to Lydia after being returned to normal were, "Why didn't you tell me?"]]* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Again, Dr. ''Canker''.* NoEnding: "Jack Putter to the rescue!"* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: The chips. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d. They're one-of-a-kind, nobody can replicate them or their technology (at least not before Tuck's oxygen runs out), and nobody made backups in case they were lost or damaged.* NoodleIncident: Something must have happened between Ozzie Wexler and Dr. Canker.* OhCrap: Tuck can be heard saying "Uh oh" when Jack is caught posing as the Cowboy.* OnlyInItForTheMoney: It's Scrimshaw's sole motivation in all this.* PairTheSpares: Wendy and Dr Greenbush share a longing glance at the end.* PintSizedPowerhouse: Scrimshaw and Dr. Canker, after [[spoiler:getting shrunk down to midget size]].* PokeThePoodle: Igoe pops a balloon because he's EVIL!* PreMortemOneLiner: -->'''Tuck:''' Okay, pal... here's how ''I'' spell 'relief'!"* RaceAgainstTheClock: To rescue Tuck, who is AlmostOutOfOxygen.* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Project leader Dr. David Niles is rather likable and understanding for a gub'mint scientist.* RightManInTheWrongPlace: Jack, becoming the UnlikelyHero of the story by being at the wrong place at the wrong time.* RunningGag: The Cowboy - he's classified.* ShoutOut:** ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''. Though why anyone would set up the miniaturization/re-enlargement process selection screen that way is anyone's guess.** ''2001: A Space Odyssey'', in the aforementioned design of the pod. And the... ''unusual'' way Tuck meets [[spoiler: his child]] for the first time.** There's plenty of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes references, including a cameo by ChuckJones in the grocery store scene.** At one point, Jack attempts to comfort himself by turning on ''Series/{{Scrabble}}''.* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: The way Jack convinces Lydia that Tuck really ''is'' miniaturized.-->'''Jack:''' ''(repeating Tuck)'' "I don't blame you for walking out on me that morning. But it was my heart that was broken, not my toe."* SoulSuckingRetailJob: Jack's position in the beginning. [[spoiler: He quits after deciding he prefers a life of adventure and intrigue]].* StaringKid: There's one when Mr. Igoe shoots Ozzie with his gun hand. * StunGuns: Lydia tries to use one on Mr. Igoe. It backfires horribly.* SwissArmyAppendage: The assassin Mr. Igoe is missing his right hand, and has it replaced with a system of different swappable false hands, ranging from an ordinary cosmetic hand, to one with [[ScaramangaSpecial a pointing finger]] [[ArmCannon that is actually a gun]], to a [[ThisIsADrill drill-hand]].* TechnoBabble: The miniaturization process in the film is depicted as breaking up a macroscale object into its component molecules to "compile" a microscopic version of that object. The loss of so much of the objects mass is presumably the reason why Niles described the re-enlargement process as "tricky" and why two chips are used - one on the pod, one on the miniaturizer - as they can serve as a guide for exactly how to rebuild the object. So they're using a variation of [[Film/{{Tron}} Encom's scanning laser]].* ThereAreNoPolice: When Ozzie is running from Igoe in the mall, he is not looking for a security guard or yelling for help or going into a store and telling them to call 911. This would be an obvious RealLife course of action to take - however the [[TropesAretools trope is necessary]] to get Tuck injected into Jack.* ThreeAmigos: Tuck, Jack, and Lydia, in a sense. Fitting that Martin Short is one of them.* ToAbsentFriends: "We're going to make a toast to Ozzie, who saved my ass by injecting me into yours."* TookALevelInBadass: Jack, oh so amazingly. So much so, that he rejects his old life at the end of the film in favor of rushing to help Tuck on his honeymoon against (presumably) "The Cowboy".-->'''Jack:''' '''JACK PUTTER TO THE RESCUE!'''* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: Despite 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body, forming a huge maze that goes through the heart every minute, Tuck manages to make his way around a human body pretty quick - ear, eye, abdomen, stomach, mouth. Zip-zip-zip. TruthInTelevision in that human blood makes that trip ''[[http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/questions/question/3418/ every minute]].'' Tuck's just along for the ride.* UnlikelyHero: Jack, being the RightManInTheWrongPlace.* VanityLicensePlate: Igoe's BMW ("SNAPON") and Scrimshaw's Rolls-Royce ("SUB-ZRO").* TheVoice: Tuck is this from Jack's perspective.* TheVoiceless: Igoe never says a word in the entire film. Unless you count, "Arrrrrggggh!"* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:** By the end of the movie, all of the sensors Tuck implanted on Jack's body (and Mr. Igoe's damaged pod [[spoiler:and Mr. Igoe's remains]]) are still in there. Doesn't seem to bother anyone.** What happened to the scientists who were in the miniaturization chamber with Scrimshaw and Kanker?* WhenThingsSpinScienceHappens: The miniaturization process at the government lab spins Tuck's minisub at absurdly high rates before breaking it down and shrinking it. It's a wonder Tuck's stomach didn't object.----

Jill Bahring: I Was Not Assaulted by Jacob Appelbaum
The woman involved in an eyewitness account of sexual misconduct by ex-Tor developer Jacob Appelbaum given to Gizmodo says her experience of the night in question is "entirely different."
The woman involved in an eyewitness account of sexual misconduct by ex-Tor developer Jacob Appelbaum given to Gizmodo says her experience of the night in question is "entirely different."
Former Tor Project employee and well-known computer security and privacy advocate Jacob Appelbaum has issued a statement denying public accusations of sexual assault. His statement was made days after anonymous claims of sexual mistreatment led him to step down from the Tor Project.
In 2015, the FBI hacked Tor to identify users of child sex websites. Now, Mozilla is begging courts to divulge how the operation was carried out so that it can ensure its code for Firefox remains secure.
The deep web and its inner recess, the dark web—those less well-trodden parts of the internet beyond the reach of Google and Bing—are not for the faint-hearted or untrained. With the right tools, however, there's little to fear and plenty to discover. Here's how you can start exploring the deep web without having to…
A proposed change to the 'Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure' issued yesterday by the United States Supreme Court allows federal judges to grant the FBI permission to hack multiple computers at once, including machines belonging to people who haven't been suspected of a crime. It can even hack people the FBI knows to…
In 2015, the FBI hacked Tor to identify users of child sex websites. Now a judge has thrown out evidence acquired during the investigation.
In 2015, the FBI hacked Tor to identify users of child sex websites. But despite requests being made in court, it's now refusing to reveal the finer points of how it carried out the operation.
A rumor has been circulating for a while that researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) provided information to the FBI, which led to the feds identifying Tor users linked to crimes. Details of any arrangements have been unclear, but evidence from a criminal case has confirmed a few facts.
While he typically releases a book every year, John Scalzi dropped some interesting news on his blog earlier this week: he won't have a new novel coming out in 2016. Instead, his next will come in 2017:
Tor is the venerable messaging system used by whistleblowers and drug dealers alike to hide on the internet, and as a result, it gets some attention from law enforcement. A new system proposed by a team of MIT resesarchers offers an alternative, using fake traffic to hide the real messages within.
According to French newspaper Le Monde, authorities in Paris are considereing banning the use of TOR, a service that anonymises users on the internet. It would be one of a range of measures passed in response to last month's terror attacks, and also a difficult-to-enforce attack on internet privacy.
Last week, it was suggested that a research group from Carnegie Mellon University had been paid $1 million by the FBI to hack Tor. Now, CMU has issued a statement denying that money changed hands—but seems to suggest it was forced to hand over data to the authorities.
Since Bluetooth was given an overhaul in 2010 with the 4.0 standard, it's surged in popularity. Now, it's about to get another serious spec bump, providing four times the range, twice the speed and even mesh networking.
Last year, Tor—the service which allows people to use the internet with anonymity—was attacked. Now, a new report suggests that the FBI paid Carnegie Mellon University a cool $1 million to carry out the work.
A library in a small New Hampshire town started to help Internet users around the world surf anonymously using Tor. Until the Department of Homeland Security raised a red flag.
The dark web isn't the scary, pervert-riddled digital crime swamp that shows like CSI:Cyber portray it as. But until this week, dark web sites hidden with the .onion domain lacked some basic security features.
Spyware company mSpy—which lets people pay for software to secretly track their loved ones, employees, and really whoever they want—has been hacked, and a huge data dump posted on a Tor-accessible website.
WikiLeaks is accepting submissions again, after a nearly five-year hiatus. Anyone who wants to submit a document can do so by accessing a new Tor site to anonymously upload whatever scandalous files you've obtained.
Most of the time we discuss encryption as a way to protect ourselves online
, but an increasingly popular form of digital attack uses it as an extortion tool. Criminals are stealing personal files, encrypting them, and hold them hostage until their targets pay for the decryption key.
Anyone with a spare dollar can buy access to stolen, active Uber account information. Vendors on the new darknet market AlphaBay are peddling Uber user details.

So that's what's happened to all our lost socks! On Friday night at New York Fashion Week, Toni Braxton helped unveil a custom dress made entirely of socks, designed byProject Runway All Stars' Michael Costello. The gown is the centerpiece of the "SheKnows Where the Other Sock Went" campaign, an initiative fromSheKnows.com to raise money for charity.
"When SheKnows called me … I was all over it," Costello says. "I love a challenge, and I just thought it was something that could be totally cool."
Using more than 700 single socks, Costello created a one-shoulder gown for Braxton, which she debuted at Friday night's bash and wears in an advertising campaign, shot by noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker. The dress will go up for auction this spring, with proceeds benefiting Autism Speaks, the world's largest autism and science advocacy organization. It's also a cause close to Braxton's heart: the singer's youngest son was diagnosed in 2003 and she serves as a spokeswoman for the group. To learn more, and to see Costello in action, visit wherestheothersock.sheknows.com.

SheKnows.com for Autism Speaks Launch: Nigel Barker, Toni Braxton, ...
by Nika Mavrody
February 13, 2012
On Friday, SheKnows.com launched their "SheKnows Where's the Other Sock Went" campaign benefiting Autism Speaks. The women's lifestyle portal partnered with superstar Toni Braxton, Project Runway designer Michael Costello, and fashion photographer and America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker to raise money for the charity.
Costello designed a couture gown (scroll to the bottom) out of single pairs of socks donated by celebrities. Braxton then modeled the creation for the campaign, which was photographed by Barker.
An over-scheduled fashion week crowd turned out to glimpse the sock frock, see Costello's latest collection, and watch the campaign's star participants goofing around and living it up. Toni Braxton was bound to be the center of attention, but she solidified her place in the spotlight with a well-chosen violet gown, which had open shoulders and an asymmetrical sheer skirt.
Because I'm an ANTM junkie with a serious soft spot in my heart for judge Nigel Barker, I pulled the photographer aside to chat about the campaign and his upcoming projects.
"Whenever I get the opportunity to give back," Barker told me, "I try to. I love it if I can take a photo that can move people, interest people in subject matter they're not normally thinking about. Of course, [the cause] does affect millions of children all around the world. And I've got two kids of my own, and I see children that have various forms of autism at their school."
He mentioned that his second documentary, Dreams Are Not Forgotten, about life in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, might make its way to Cannes. And because I couldn't help myself, I then begged him to tell me why Angelea Preston was disqualified from the All-Stars cycle of America's Next Top Model.
"If you could give me a hint?" I said. "I would love to know, just personally."
"I'm sure you would," Barker said. "You're very cute. I would hate to have to kill you before the evening's up."
Thanks for humoring me, Nigel. And sorry to my fellow ANTM fans. I tried.
