I am an international student who will be applying to both the School of Visual Arts Interaction Design and Parson's Design & Technology MFA programs on a Fulbright scholarship. I would really appreciate any views and opinions on both programs...since I live abroad, it's really hard to tell what the programs are like apart from the information they put on their websites.
How well ranked and known are both programs in the field of interaction design? How are they different? What about the schools themselves? What are their approaches to design? Would you recommend one over the other? Do any of these programs teach interaction design from a more cognitive science\hci, research and theory oriented approach, or is it just visual design and coding (skill building)?
I have a BDes in Communication Design, have been working in interface design for the past 2 years, and now want to go back to school.
Thank you for your replies.
Looks like no one responded to this. How did your applications go? I'm set to start grad school in the fall.

Zombie Massacre Paintball
Michigan's one and only Original Zombie Paintball Challenge where you can shoot live action Zombies with Paintball guns. The Zombie Master Jared at DarkSyde Acres Haunted House dragged a few of the more violent Zombies, that didnt play well with others out of the Catacombs and placed them inside of the Zombie Paintball secured shooting gallery. On top of that we have outfitted our shooters with military grade AR-15 style Paintball Guns for maximum destruction! Everyone loves shooting Zombies, now is YOUR chance, Get in line, Grab a gun and start shooting. Best part of DarkSyde Acres Zombie Paintball is that the zombies DONT shoot back!
The zombie paintball game is like nothing I've ever seen before. I strongly recommend this attraction. Its fun for everyone! I'll be going back every year.
Warning! Everyone knows to kill a Zombie you have to shoot them in the head. You pick which one!

|Here are some details about my project:
|Accessory, Pendant
|Romantic, Victorian / Steampunk
What materials did you use? A Large Antique Sterling Serving Spoon of Francis the First Pattern. Sterling wire, Pearl
Lovely pendant, I have a lovely fork but my wrench is to weak to bend it and have not got a bender.
i used a vice grip.... you know, the kind that you attached to a table and tighten so it won't move. I used a hack saw to cut it with as well. Thanks for the compliment, hope this info helps. Good Luck.
What part of the spoon did you cut?
At the very top of the pendant ..that is where I cut the spoon. Then I bent the handle over away from me into a "U" shape. I the slid the bowl portion of the spoon into the "U" and positioned the handle inside the bowl where I wanted it an then squeezed the u so it was snug and wrapped wire.
Obviously there was a portion of the middle of the handle not used.
beautiful. A different take on the spoon jewelry.

Lifetime Achievers 2010
Our seventh annual awards honor distinctive careers and public service.
At The American Lawyer, we keep a running list of men and women we might like to recognize at some point as Lifetime Achievers. This year, our final roster includes eight lawyers who met our standards for exemplary public service and outstanding professional services.
The 2010 list honors a former judge, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom's Judith Kaye; a civil rights icon, Columbia Law School's Jack Greenberg; a pathbreaking managing partner, Alston & Bird's Ben Johnson III (winner of our second Law Firm Distinguished Leader Award); a former governor, Winston & Strawn's James Thompson; and three men who have put their civic duties at the core of their professional work: Hogan Lovells's Joseph Bell; Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson's Robert Juceam; and Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal's Errol Stone.
Robert Joffe, Cravath, Swaine & Moore's former presiding partner, was on our running list from the beginning; in fact, he helped create the list with some wise advice about using this process to remind lawyers that it was possible to have a distinguished career at the private bar and make important contributions to public life. Joffe was still very active, and we planned to get to him later. Sadly, he died last winter from cancer at age 66. We've never made a posthumous award before. But here, as in life, Joffe was exceptional.

Apr 10, 2013 09:00 PMTV Network - BBC America
Last week we told you all about how you had to watch the first half of this miniseries and how it dealt with spies and romance and the TARDIS. Okay, well, not the TARDIS, but it does have David Tennant and he's quite the handsome fellow. Having watched the first half of the miniseries last week, how are you possibly not going to watch the second half this week? We don't want to call such a thing ludicrous, but it kind of is, isn't it? There you were, all intrigued about what was going to happen next last Wednesday night and now you're going to skip the second half? With apologies to John McEnroe, you cannot be serious.

Bulgari, W, Shangri-La, Oh My! London's Growing Luxury Hotel Scene
We're tickled pink that the legendary Savoy Hotel will be reopening soon (after a dramatic renovation that's guaranteed to recapture the Grande Dame's original splendor). We've also been anticipating the unveiling of the made-over Four Seasons on Park Lane after a two-year, £100 million renovation. But the luxury hotel scene isn't limited to just two "new" additions. A host of new hotels will be cropping up in London this year and next. An article in The Australian sums it up nicely:
Next year sees the opening of 45 Park Lane, a new hotel from the group that owns the nearby Dorchester, and the Corinthia, an international chain that is making its British debut. The chic W chain is also entering London next year, with a property on Leicester Square. Further out, Bulgari will open a luxury hotel amid the boutiques of Knightsbridge while Shangri-La, one of the biggest hotel brands in Asia, is opening its first London property in the new Shard skyscraper. Claridge's and the Berkeley both have expansion plans, while Waldorf Astoria is also making a splash in the capital, with the launch this November of a property in the grounds of Syon Park in west London. All have been emboldened by the strong performance of London's most exclusive hotels during the economic downturn.

in stock
Camay Classic Bath Bar Soap, Softly Scented, 4 oz– It's not unusual to hear of Camay enthusiasts who have been using the brand since childhood. Find out why this best-selling soap has been captivating consumers for decades.
Classic Formula That Has Stood the Test of Time
When Camay was introduced nearly a century ago, its mild, moisturizing formula was a welcome departure from traditional soaps, which were often known to irritate and dry the skin. Today, consumers still rave about how Camay leaves their skin soft and supple. To give you a luxurious clean, the bar lathers well and doesn't leave a soapy residue behind. And if you are prone to redness and irritation, Camay can help to soothe sensitive skin.
For Face and Body
Camay Classic Bath Bar Soap is more than just a beauty bar for use in the shower or the bath. Try it as a daily facial soap. The nourishing ingredients eliminate impurities while providing vital hydration. The result is a complexion that glows. Many loyal consumers credit the soap for helping them achieve younger-looking skin. Camay is also a popular choice for hand soap because it effectively combats dryness and chapping. Place bars next to the sinks in your kitchen and bathrooms to help keep your hands smooth and supple through any season.
A Scent for the Whole Family
Read the Camay reviews. You'll see that consumers love the soap's light floral scent. For some, the brand has been passed down through generations and the bar's fragrance is comforting and familiar. Teenagers often love the pore-cleansing properties. For men, the soap's lather can help to soften stubble and calm the skin leading to a more comfortable shave. Seniors like how the soap pampers their delicate skin. Families appreciate that the bar holds up, wash after wash.

TORONTO — Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said his team's roster is beyond depleted right now.
Valentine was asked Friday what part of his last-place club would benefit most from extra callups.
"Are you kidding?" he said. "This is the weakest roster we've ever had in September in the history of baseball. It could use help everywhere."
The Red Sox began Friday 17½ games behind Baltimore and New York in the AL East. Boston, 11-29 since Aug. 1, would be eliminated from the division race with a loss Friday and a win by either the Yankees or Orioles.
Boston's roster has been thinned by trades and injuries. Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Nick Punto were dealt to the Dodgers last month, along with injured OF Carl Crawford. Veteran Kevin Youkilis was traded to the White Sox earlier this season.
Injured pitcher visits A's: RHP Brandon McCarthy visited his Oakland teammates just more than a week after getting hit in the head with a line drive and needing two hours of surgery. McCarthy, 29, had suffered an epidural hemorrhage, brain bruise and skull fracture, but he was released from the hospital Tuesday. McCarthy said he hopes to return to the mound.
Mariners: RHP Felix Hernandez, who lost his third straight start Thursday, will get an extra day of rest before his next start. Hernandez has a 9.00 ERA in his past three starts and allowed 21 hits the past two.
Rangers: OF Josh Hamilton was back in the lineup after getting an injection to lubricate his sore left knee. "I had those in spring training, just a little lubrication," Hamilton said. "Get your oil changed. … It feels 90 percent better than it did before." … RHP Yu Darvish recorded the 200th strikeout of his debut season in the majors, becoming the first rookie to reach that mark since Daisuke Matsuzaka struck out 201 for Boston in 2007.
Reds: Closer Aroldis Chapman said his weary left pitching shoulder feels better after a break and expects to pitch in a few days. The team is giving him at least five days off after his velocity and control were subpar Monday against Pittsburgh. He said he doesn't expect to pitch this weekend.
Royals: OF Lorenzo Cain is likely out for the season due to a strained right hamstring.
Tigers: Showing support for manager Jim Leyland, 3B Miguel Cabrera took a "Fire Leyland" sign away from a fan above the dugout in Chicago on Wednesday. Cabrera said it was all in fun but added, "I don't like it, because we're a team."
White Sox: The team reshuffled its rotation to adjust for the rained-out game, deciding to start LHP Francisco Liriano in Minnesota today against his former team. Manager Robin Ventura said LHP Jake Peavy will stay with his scheduled start Sunday and rookie LHP Jose Quintana will pitch Monday in the makeup game against Detroit. All-Star RHP Chris Sale was supposed to start that game, but he was bumped to Friday.
Yankees: Derek Jeter was the DH for the second straight day after injuring his left ankle, and manager Joe Girardi believes it's an injury the 38-year-old shortstop will have to deal with for the remainder of the season. For his part, Jeter refused to acknowledge he was hurt and said he could play short.

Rutgers coach Kyle Flood is pleased with the way quarterback Chas Dodd has practiced this week after being named the starter. Dodd has received more reps this week than any other this year and has stayed after practice to throw to receivers.
"I think he's getting better as the week goes one," Flood said. "That's the advantage of being the starter and getting the starter's reps as he's gone through the week, being able to time things up with more reps than he would normally get in a normal practice week in the past. I think he's done a good job. I'm pleased with the way he's working."
Flood also spoke well of Gary Nova, who has taken the backup role this week after his demotion. The coach said Nova has not responded negatively to the news, maintaining his effort in the meeting and in practice.
"Gary is a competitor," Flood said. "Gary wants to be the starter as I'm sure every player on the team wants to be the starter. I think he's done a good job."
* * *
Freshman WR Andre Patton could see an increased role this week. The Rutgers receiving corps has been hit by injuries. Leonte Carroo will miss the game in Connecticut and Ruhann Peele will be limited because of his duties as a cornerback.
Patton has just one catch this season, a 27-yarder against Cincinnati. But he did recover a blocked punt in the end zone for a touchdown at UCF.
"I don't know if you can ever force that but he's preparing to be ready," Flood said. "So the way he's preparing tells me that given the opportunity in the game he will make an impact. I think that's what happened in special teams…It would not surprise me if he had success."
* * *
Rutgers is so banged up and depleted this week that Flood said they are not able to field a full scout team.

A case-control study of 480 patients with invasive cervical cancer and 797 population controls, conducted in five geographic areas in the United States, included an evaluation of the relationship of several cigarette smoking variables to cervical cancer risk. Although smoking was correlated with both age at first intercourse and number of sexual partners, a significant smoking-related risk persisted for squamous cell carcinoma after adjustment for these factors (relative risk, 1.5). The risk of squamous cell cancers increased significantly with intensity and duration of smoking. Twofold excess risks were seen for those smoking 40 or more cigarettes per day and those smoking for 40 or more years. In addition, users of nonfilter cigarettes were at particularly high risk. Increased risks, however, were observed only among recent and continuous smokers. In contrast to squamous cell cancer, no relationship was observed between smoking and risk of adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma (n=63). These results suggest a causal relationship between cigarette smoking and invasive squamous cell cervical cancer, perhaps through a late-stage or promotional event, although the mechanisms of action require further elucidation.

Parking Clinic
MVD Parallel Parking Exercise DrivingMBA offers a Parking Clinic that will focus on all different types of parking situations. Students will work on:
- Pulling into and backing into parking space
- T-turns and 3 point turns
- Parallel parking
- Slalom Course
There is a short introductory class and then students are split into small groups and work with DrivingMBA instructors on all of the scenarios described above. The clinic is 2.0 hours.
DrivingMBA does teach parking during the course of our on-road instruction, however, this clinic is an intensive for students that need or want more help with parking. We use DrivingMBA vehicles so it is imperative that parents work with their students on parking their own vehicles as those are the vehicles that they will test in at the Motor Vehicle Division.
Slalom Course The clinic is available to the general public for $120.00. DrivingMBA students enrolled in a program can add a parking clinic for $80.00

Along with breathtaking descriptions of Mitcham Beat's scenery (you can practically feel the cotton buds beneath your fingertips and smell the pine in the air), Franklin does what Harper Lee did in To Kill a Mockingbird; He lets his set of quirky characters run the story while he focuses on the repercussions of his characters' curiosity and age.
Hell at the Breech is an impressive novel that should catapult Franklin into the big leagues. Nickolas Thomas

Today I made a tool, which uses the ndisprot driver to carry the broadcasts
over the internet.
It should work... but I have nobody test with at the moment... so it will
have to wait until "tomorrow"...
Then the tool has to be fixed up a bit... and a nice distribution made and a
nice manual...
And then some more testing... and a little bit of extra save/load code...
And then in the near future maybe even a peer exchanger... for automatic
peer list exchanging... and then I could even add more features... like
automatic detection of all kinds of stuff for automatic configuration...
(it's already pretty simple though... but for cluesless people maybe still
to hard ;)) and maybe even a nice installer for the driver ! ;)
But for now I just want a basic version to be done... with no peer
exchanger... incase that goes overboard ;) like too many peers etc...
For now it will probably be a closed-alpha/beta... that means only people in
my msn messenger list get it ;)
So get on my msn messenger list if you want to receive and test it !
(Only for Red Alert 3 players though ! ;))
(It has a GUI, and it needs the ndisprot driver etc)

Against all odds, huh? It's like that?
Yesterday, I had Bacon and Chicken and veggies for dinner My mom cooked bacon for me and put it down for when I got home but ... My sister ate my bacon at first and I was very pissed off And then she refused to fry more. So I had to fry more bacon for myself /: anyway lol I now know what you guys mean when you say you get really mad when people touch your bacon >.< This morning for breakfast I had some more stir fry and some left over chicken and and eggs. TTFN
Against all odds, huh? It's like that?
I think you're doing a great job considering your constraints. Keep doing what you're doing!
Good for you not eating that Burger King poison! I know it's hard in the beginning and you will be tested often, but I think you will also surprise yourself with your awesome success!
Mmm. Pork chops. The breakfast of champions!
Sounds like you are doing an awesome job! Congrats on taking control of your nutrition!

This question popped into my head the other night for no apparent reason. I wasn't watching March of the Penguins and I definitely wasn't scarfing down ice cream. It just seemed like something that needed looking into.
North Pole
Believe it or not, Santa's workshop isn't the closest settlement to the North Pole. Damn. I was really hoping to find some pictures of it.
However, if you are just looking for any type of town that has a name, the closest place to the North Pole is Alert, NU, Canada. According to the 2006 Canadian census, the town has a whopping 5 permanent inhabitants. Do you think everyone knows their neighbor?
The climate in Alert is not exactly what I expected. Obviously, it's cold and that is something I expected. The "hottest" month is July and the average temperature is a balmy 37.9 degrees Fahrenheit. The thing that surprised me is that they don't get that much snow. They average only about 6 inches of precipitation a year.
The also have 24-hour daylight from March until September. Talk about getting no sleep!
South Pole
The closest settlement to the South Pole happens to be in Chile. The town of Puerto Toro, Chile is a small fishing port at the southern most tip of South America. Believe it or not, it's still 2,423 miles away from the South Pole!
From the most recent census, the population of the town is 36. The average high temperature in the summer (which is in January down there) is around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The average high temperature in the winter is around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Not too bad considering it's the closest to the South Pole! They do get a lot of rain during the year, about 118 inches on average.
Well, there you have it. My curiosity has been solved! Now off to think about more strange things.

Melinda Meyer
Like most kids, Melinda Meyer never paid much attention to diet or exercise as she was growing up. Once she arrived at college and became aware of the freshman 15 phenomenon, she started thinking about it – a lot. Within three years, Melinda had trimmed 30 pounds from her petite frame through a focused effort to eat right and exercise regularly.
Melinda, a Canton, OH native, currently lives in sunny Scottsdale, AZ with her husband. When she's not working as an accountant for a privately held corporation, she's modeling for Femme Athletic, an active wear brand designed for women. In her scarce free time, Melinda and her husband enjoy athletic hobbies such as water skiing, mountain biking, scuba diving, and a variety of other sports. You name it, and the adventurous duo has probably tried it!
Though Melinda's always been active, she got seriously into running about seven years ago. Since then, she's completed many 10K races, half-marathons, and two full marathons. When she got burnt out, she turned to weight lifting for a change of pace. Once she settled into the groove, she realized she needed something else to end her workout plateau. She decided to give fitness competition a try, and was shocked when she took first place in her first ever event, the Arizona Natural Fitness Model competition in September 2007. Just one week later, she took home another title – FAS-NET Denver Regional Fitness Model Championship, which qualified her to attend the Fitness Model International final this October in Los Angeles. Melinda has also competed in San Diego America's Fittest Model in April 2008 and placed first in the Fitness Model Masters FAME Sin City in May 2008, earning "Pro" status.
Despite Melinda's competition successes and amazing body, it's all about the way she feels. She has a variety of other goals and will keep working on them while continuing to compete. She describes her dedication to fitness as a passion, constantly striving to challenge herself, learn more, and reach higher goals. With her healthy, winning attitude and visions for success, we'll definitely be seeing more of Melinda Meyer!
Age: 37 and getting better with each year!
Height: 5 feet 4.5 inches
Weight: 107
Favorite healthy food: natural peanut butter (in small quantities), chicken, yams, & oatmeal
Favorite not-so-healthy food: creamy peanut butter (in large quantities!), Frozen Yogurt, or as Jamo would have, Yozen Frogurt (my favorite frozen yogurt place in California!)
Favorite color: Purple
Favorite movie: Growing up it was Grease, Airplane, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! Ha. But now, I really can't think of my favorite!
Favorite TV Shows: (I hardly ever watch TV these days) are Seinfeld (it's a classic!), American Idol (I love watching the contestants evolve, and amazed at the producers!), and LOST (the writers are brilliant!)…oh and one more…. America's Funniest Videos, always good for a few laughs!
Favorite exercise: Being outdoors mountain biking or hiking. There is nothing like standing on top of the mountain and feeling you can conquer anything!
Favorite sport to play: I don't really play a particular sport, it's more of the individual activities I enjoy such as those mentioned above.
Favorite sport to watch: Football
You look beautiful!
It is a good thing that you enjoy mountain climbing and hiking as we did plenty of it this weekend. lol... I loved getting to know you. Your an amazing person!
Sonya, Mikes sister...:)

Good luck to you
Hi Melinda,
CONGRATULATIONS on being selected as the Physique of the Month. In MY humble opinion it was LONG overdue. :)) I STILL marvel at what you are able to do. Like I said before, you must be a master at time management. Love all of the pix too. I saw some that that I hadn't seen before....VERY nice! :))
Take care, Sweetie,

Orange Cranberry Muffins
Author: Susan Palmer
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup granulated white sugar
zest from 1 orange
1 cup Greek yogurt (I used 2%)
¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
juice from 1 orange
1 cup fresh cranberries
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with muffin/cupcake liners or spray with baking spray if not using liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Remove 1 tablespoon of the dry ingredients and toss it together with the fresh cranberries – set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, melted butter, egg and orange juice.
Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and mix in the wet, stirring to combine but careful not to over mix.
Fold in the cranberries, making sure to evenly distribute through the batter.
Using an ice cream scoop or a small ladle, evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the tin and let cool on a wire rack before serving.

It occurred to me sometime last night between Madonna's halftime show and reading my Facebook news feed that there are a lot of parents out there who watched the big game with their kids. (Not in my home, by the way. My kids were in bed before any real action started, and we only checked in occasionally between breaks from watching a PBS documentary, because that's how we roll.) I was chuckling at various pictures posted on Facebook with kids dressed up in football jerseys and eating chips and dip. It made me realize that the Super Bowl (and any other big sporting event) offers a great opportunity for family co-viewing. It's a great way for parents to share their passion with kids.
It was all very innocent, until I considered the content of most of the ads during the Super Bowl. Remember those? Many of the ads during the Super Bowl are about beer, encouraging people to drink. Many of ads also involve sexual innuendo or portray women in a negative way. Yes, there are some family friendly advertisements that can be quite fun to share, but what about those that require some discussion?
Luckily, we have Common Sense Media in this world. They recently posted tips on how to discuss ads with your kids shown during the Super Bowl. They also presented this little research tidbit: "A study by the Center on Alcohol Advertising showed that 9- to 11-year-old kids had higher recall (73%) of the Budweiser frogs' slogan than the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (39%). And kids knew what the frogs were selling: 81% identified beer as the product promoted by the frogs." But I'm going to guess that many parents out there did not have the opportunity to check this out.
Did you watch the game with kids this year? If so, please comment on this – how did you do it? Were there any discussions? Did you watch the ads together or simply use them as an opportunity to get more food, use the bathroom, etc? Did your kids have any questions about them? How old were the kids watching with you?

The County is mandated by law to provide housing for felons and county misdemeanants. The County also contracts with most cities within the county to house city misdemeanants. The jail population increases as county population increases and as new laws and stricter penalties are adopted, Sims said.
Criminal justice spending currently consumes more than 63 percent of King County's general fund budget. Without significant intervention, that figure will continue to increase, due to increasing demands on criminal justice agencies.
Sims last year convened the Swift and Certain Justice Team of law, public safety, adult detention, and the courts to review criminal justice efficiencies. He said that a review of new laws and penalties, combined with alternative treatment and possible pricing incentives to limit jail stays are key steps toward reducing inmate populations.
Sims' proposed Adult Justice Operating Master Planning process will examine a wide range of alternative sanctions and methods of supervision, and community-based treatment programs, as alternatives to jailing offenders who pose little or no risk to public safety.
"Policies of the courts and law enforcement greatly affect the daily population of felony and misdemeanant defendants and offenders whose offenses are prosecuted under State statutes and County and city criminal ordinances," said Sims. "We are committed to working closely with officials whose codes, policies, and practices impact this population's growth.
"I am confident our analyses and planning will demonstrate that system efficiencies--as well as development, expansion, and readaptation of lower cost community alternatives--will prevent the need to expand jail bed capacity."
The approval for conducting an operational master plan study was made last year, and the Council requested a detailed outline of how the plan will be prepared. King County Councilmember Greg Nickels, chair of the Council's Law, Justice and Human Services Committee that will review the work plan and the products that result from it, said the effort "represents an intensive, collaborative, deliberative, objective, and rational process to assess and improve the Adult Justice System. We look forward to reviewing the work plan and working with the Executive. I believe that we can provide safe communities in King County using existing resources and prevention measures, not just by building more jails."
The draft work plan will also be reviewed by criminal justice agencies throughout King County, by Seattle and suburban city officials, community advocacy groups, and non-governmental social service and treatment providers. The last justice operational master plan was completed in 1990. It resulted in a decision to construct the Regional Justice Center, now located in Kent.

TSRA had $520 million in cash at the end of last Quarter, with less than $40 million in total liabilities.If they spent all their cash to buy back shares, using a $15 average price, revenues, profits and remaining VALUE of the existing shares would EXPLODE HIGHER.They could reduce the number of shares outstanding from 51 million to 19 million with the $500 million in cash EARNING nothing on the balance sheet.Revenues per share would rise from $6 to $16 per share, EPS would rise from $1.00 to $2.60! "Free" cash flow would rise from $1.20 per share to $3.30 per share for remaining stake owners in the company.Buying shares back at $12 or $13 WOULD BE AN EVEN BIGGER BONANZA for existing owners. I am sure plenty of competitors and semiconductor corporations would love to add TSRA assets and customers and profits, with the stock priced barely above its EXISTING cash in the bank.SHARKS ARE PROWLING NO DOUBT!
I like the stock as well, but you didn't reference the recent pre-announcement that revenues will be down to about $60 mill and legal expenses would be up. Profit not mentioned as far as I read. If short term problem, fine, but your profits per share assume profitability while the industry keeps disappointing at least for this qtr.my views, good luck all longs
gnik is something of a short squeeze expert, many of us have followed for years on Yahoo! chat boards.His point is a stock buyback would create incredible demand for this stock and over-run all supply from sellers, plus be accretive on every metric for the company and remaining shareholders at this low price.Tessera is already priced for a Depression, trading near cash with no liabilities long-term.

We all know that good theme music can make or break a wrestler's career. As we have seen throughout the years, when the glass shatters, the countdown starts, or the electric guitar strums, we know (and get excited) that Steve Austin, Chris Jericho, or Triple H is appearing, respectively.
However, in the creative world of WWE theme music, sometimes the composer (mainly Jim Johnston) decides that either a certain theme song fits better on a different character, or an unused theme song is just going to be dumped on someone else.
Hence, the topic of this article—WWE recycled theme songs.
Let's open the vault.

Got to Be Startin' Somethin'
He's the international symbol of conflicting values and a walking testament to the perils of plastic surgery, but people still love them some Michael Jackson.
I discovered this fact at the rally outside the Sony Building on Madison and 59th Street, where the Michael Jackson Fan Club had organized a protest. "We believe that Sony Music is purposely sabotaging Invincible," they wrote in a statement, outlining how the label was limiting distribution and cutting off promotion of the aging pop dowager's latest release.
A pack of mostly teens and middle-aged black mothers screamed from a corral as a fan club official spit out slogans from a megaphone for them to chant in chorus. "Down with Tommy Mottola!" he yelled. "Say it loud for when Mr. Jackson comes up the street in that bus!" Jackson was going to roll by in a double-decker to show his support; tons of passersby were waiting for a chance to see him.
"I think there's going to be a revolution in how artists are treated," said Deanna, a girl holding a "Sony Sucks" sign. "The labels don't give them any respect."

"It's terrible," said Marie, a woman who had come with her sisters and children. "He's worked so hard for them for so many years and now they're sweeping the carpet out from under him."
A bus drove up the block with Jackson standing and waving from the upper level, bangs and sunglasses obscuring his sepulchral, china-white face. The crowd stampeded toward him, screaming. Jackson reached down to grab a sign that read, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," holding it up and pointing to a fang-toothed photo of Tommy Mottola.
It was a startling break from the constant distance he's maintained with his fans. He even showed up at the Webster Hall after-party held by the fan club, where local black youth dance troupes and Michael Jackson impersonators praised the Gloved One with onstage performances of his past hits.
E'Casanova, an impersonator who's appeared on VH1, crooned a wrenchingly melodramatic devotional ballad before segueing into a rap poem: "He surpassed their heroes, and they're jealous/They never thought a black man could beat Elvis!" The King of Pop pumped his fist and blew kisses to him in approval.
As the crowd shouted "Sony Sucks!" Michael came onstage accompanied by a phalanx of bodyguards to accept an award from the fan club. "I don't have much more to say about [Sony]," he said, as he held up a sign telling Mottola to go back to hell. "This says it all."
Some freaks don't have to be the unfortunate victims of bad nose jobs and melanin deficiencies to get love. At the Black & White on July 10, Moby surprised a roomful of people when he splashed a drink in the face of a loudmouthed girl. The looks of horror dissipated when partygoers realized that the culprit was, after all, Señor Moby, and they laughed it off as if it had been part of some good-natured prank. Must be nice to have carte blanche to dispense with all class and have people applaud you for it.
Nothingnot even premature laborcan stop Kimora Lee Simmons from scoring a magazine cover. The Baby Phat top cat has been laid up in the maternity ward, her second daughter on her way a full two months early, but she practically jumped out of her hospital bed to shoot the cover of Fit Pregnancy magazine.
At 450 Studios on July 2, she pondered meditation while a stylist jerked up a zipper on her dress. "Is it 'still the breath and mind the body'?" she called to husband Russell Simmons.
"It's 'still the body and watch the breath,' " he corrected.
"I have to call my guru to make sure."
"I really wanted to do [the shoot] so I brought my nurse with me," said Kimora, caressing her ever sloping girth. "There's a baby bag packed in the car should it pop, but we're hoping it won't come until October."
The July 11 Women's Wear Daily reports that the new Baby Phat campaign shot by photographer Terry Richardson will be out this Friday, with Devon Aoki rocking the line's new Asian-inspired fall collection; WWD also mentions the impending opening of a Baby Phat shop once Simmons gives birth.
Apparently the pains of labor for an urban fashion queen don't preclude high heels. Simmons had brought six pairs of four-inch Manolo Blahnik stilettos to wear for the shoot, traipsing around in them like they were tennis shoes. "I'll deliver in my Manolos," she said.

Wild salmon appear to be running at their strongest in more than a decade and their asking price isn't half bad either.
However Juneau fishermen, such as Matt Cole, have good reason for guarded optimism. Cole was so disappointed with last summer's rock-bottom prices for king salmon that he gave up after a few days' work and trolled for lower-grade dog salmon instead.
"I wouldn't kill a king for 65 cents a pound," he said.
But now kings and coho are running in high numbers up and down the West Coast - from California to Alaska.
"Kings have been excellent,'' said Brian Lynch, Southeast Alaska regional troll management biologist. He noted that there have been record king salmon returns from the often-dismal, dammed-up Columbia River, the origin of a quarter of Alaska's harvest in a typical year.
And if it's any indication of an improving trend in wild salmon prices, the payoff on the spring 2004 trolling season, which ended today, was much better than spring 2003. The price for kings was $3.03 per pound this spring compared to last spring's average of $1.50, according to Lynch. The positive news has kicked up interest within Juneau's small fleet of trolling vessels, which will join the rest of Southeast Alaska for the first general summer troll harvest opening Thursday.
"It sounds like there are going to be a lot more boys going out,'' said Cole, 24, as he prepared his 28-and-a-half-foot El Nido on Tuesday for its 17-hour journey to Cape Cross. "Hopefully, this is a good year."
Alaska's fishing industry has been hit hard by the introduction of lower-priced farmed salmon. Taku Smokeries general manager Eric Norman said the higher prices for Alaska salmon in 2004 point to "renewed interest in wild salmon." He added, "I don't think fishermen will have any trouble selling their fish."
The summer troll quota for kings in Southeast is 383,500, with a troll treaty quota of 286,800 fish. It's the largest summer troll quota since 1985, when the Pacific Salmon Treaty was signed by the United States and Canada to allocate the harvest of transboundary fish, according to calculations by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
The first summer troll opening is expected to last at least 10 days.
Experts attribute the abundance of kings and cohos to very high survival rates in the Pacific Ocean over the past few years.
"It's a cyclical sort of thing. You'll see it in almost any animal species over time," Lynch said.
The price for power trolling permits, set by the market, also jumped dramatically this year. Permits were a bargain in 2003 at $13,000, when many Southeast Alaska trollers chose to stay home, but now they are about $22,000 to $23,000 and are in short supply, fishermen said.
"I know some guys who did pretty well by buying their permits last year,'' Cole said.
Tenakee Springs fisherman Zeb Strong, 32, rues the fact that he will have more salmon-hungry trollers to compete with this year.
"I think this is going to be a more stressful year,'' he said.
The fleet will likely spread out in areas south and north, concentrating in areas such as Dahl Island and Shelikof Bay to the open waters of Fairweather Grounds, one of the largest salmon grounds in Southeast, Lynch said.
"Boats that can handle that weather ... generally do quite well," he said.
Strong said he's heading his 43-foot troller - equipped with freshly acquired items, such as library books, Fruit Loops and Nesquick - for Elfin Cove. He expects to be out for several months. "Hopefully, we'll get better prices this year."

"So, Carsen, I was born in 1958. So think 1950s, the president back then would have been — "
"Dwight David Eisenhower."
"Wow, OK. Let's see, my sister was born in 1964. We're talking the mid-60s, and so that — "
"Lyndon Baines Johnson."
"Whoa. OK, one more. My parents were born in the mid-1930s, the Depression, and — "
"Franklin Delano Roosevelt."
Carsen Roberts of Claude is a presidential scholar. Or as scholarly of presidents as a 10-year-old can be. What most fourth-graders are to Xbox, Carsen is to the 44 who have occupied the Oval Office.
"He's got a book on presidential decisions that he reads all the time, and it's about 3 inches thick," said Rhonda Fraser, his grandmother. "He's like, 'Give me my book on presidential decisions and my gumbo, and I'm good all day long.'"
Young Carsen will be in his element today when he will meet former president George W. Bush at a reception and then listen to his keynote speech at Amarillo Civic Center Complext at a fundraising dinner for the Amarillo Family YMCA.
I halfway expect Carsen to sidle up to Bush and ask him how it was he became head cheerleader at the Phillips Academy. Not much escapes his curiosity, especially for his favorite of the 43 presidents, since Bush once owned the Rangers.
But Carsen said he has just one question — "Are you going to Opening Day at Rangers Ballpark?" Then, a request — autograph his Rangers jersey, the one with "Bush 43" on the back that he'll be wearing underneath his suit.
It was this past summer, while in the
Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex for some Rangers baseball, that Carsen, parents Aimee and Jeff and sister Kelsee went to the Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Southern Methodist University.
"I'd rather be at the ballpark than the museum, so I was kind of a grouch," said Aimee, a coach and teacher at Claude.
"But Carsen is doing the tour for us. He's telling us this and that.
"I say, 'How do you know all of this?' But he's on the Internet, reading books. He knows it all. It was the highlight of his summer."
But it's not just Bush. It's Bush's pops. It's Ronald Reagan. It's the Roosevelts, Teddy and Franklin. It's Lincoln, Washington and Calvin Coolidge, for that matter. He's a fountain of presidential facts.
"It's a fascination," said Jeff, who works at Pantex. "It's everything. You might even call it an obsession, but it's certainly a fascination, an abnormally high fascination. I can see someone in high school, that's not odd, but at this age?"
Carsen said playing Abraham Lincoln in a second-grade play piqued his interest. Not only has it not waned, but it's grown to the point there's no books on presidents left in the Claude school library that he hasn't checked out.
The only thing that comes close in his interest is baseball.
Just prior to the 2012 election, Aimee came into her classroom after cross country practice and was stunned to see that Carsen, then 8, had written down all the presidents on her whiteboard, in order, and spelled correctly.
At No. 45, he had written, "Romney, Soon To Be." Alas, it was not to be. Carsen, an avowed Republican, tries to remain apolitical on his presidential history, but is no backer of Barack Obama. Why?
"Because he's trying to make school longer," he said.
Carsen has taken to wearing a suit on President's Day "because all presidents wear suits." He's even worn a suit with a pinned red bullet hole on the right side of his shirt. As a pseudo-Secret Service agent, he's taking one for the president, specifically Bush.
His grandmother detailed all that in a letter to the Bush people last summer. In a few weeks, he got a letter back with a presidential seal on the envelope. "...Never doubt you can make a difference..." Carsen was bouncing off the walls.
When word got out last fall that Bush was making an Amarillo appearance in late March, Carsen knew he would have to raise a lot of money to afford the $625 ticket.
Gary Hugg, Carsen's grandfather, quietly stepped in and bought a table during the December deadline. It was to remain a surprise, but word leaked to Carsen prematurely — not that he cared. President scholar will meet president.
"So, Carsen, George Bush was born in 1946, so who was the pres — "
"Harry S. Truman."
Got it.

It was not easy, but Texas A&M did what it had to do and picked up its 10th consecutive win on the road, knocking off Ole Miss 41-38.
This was one of those games when the team with the ball last was going to come out on top.
That was exactly the case as Texas A&M kicker Josh Lambo hit a 33-yard field goal as time expired to give the Aggies the victory.
The win kept the slim SEC title hopes of Texas A&M alive. The Aggies improved to 5-1 and Ole Miss fell to 3-3.
The SEC schedule is now in full swing with a lot more to come over the next two months.
At the halfway point in the season we have learned a lot about these two teams, but what specifically did Saturday night point out?
Here are 10 things we learned in the Texas A&M victory over Ole Miss.
*Stats are according to NCAA.com.

November 29, 1935- College Football Hall of Famer Jay Berwanger of Chicago won the first Heisman Trophy. More accurately, Berwanger was named the winner of the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy. The award would not take on the current name until the death of John Heisman the following year.
November 23, 2002- True freshman quarterback Travis Lulay connected with receiver Junior Adams on a 53-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter to lead Montana State to a 10-7 win over arch-rival Montana on a snowy day in Missoula. The Bobcat win snapped a streak of 16 straight losses to UM.

I don't care if someone buys stuff presale because I no longer look for games(or anything else) specifically. I just aim for stuff that has value. Could be anything.
This is a good attitude. I've said it before but I always see videogames as a bonus. I mostly buy books, DVDs, and CDs. I wish I knew other categories better but I'm usually busy enough with media. Also, around here, there seems to be a lot of people who know other stuff . . . so, for instance, classic Fisher-Price toys would get snapped up quickly.
If one keeps an open mind and finds other stuff to buy then the VG disappointment is lower.


text: You never see this girl face side. And I looked. She's all ass in hot black thong. I'm not complaining. It's a great ass. This site is full of teasing teen ass in thongs. I love the site. So much bikini teens that you might have jerkoff overload. There's no, or little, nudity. Just teasing teen hotties teasing what they have underneath, and it's typically pretty awesome. There's 12 sites total and access is $1. You won't be able to find this much teen gf ass for free if you spend a year. They've done it for you. Plus they get new submissions all the time.


text: 07/16/12: Al Jazeera reports the International Committee of the Red Cross said Sunday that it now considers the Syrian conflict a civil war, as activists reported intense battles between rebels and government forces in Damascus. The Geneva-based group's assessment could have implications for prosecutions for war crimes and means that international humanitarian law applies throughout the country, though it will have little effect on the ground. Also known as the rules of war, humanitarian law grants all parties in a conflict the right to use appropriate force to achieve their aims. The qualification means that people who order or commit attacks on civilians including murder, torture and rape, or use disproportionate force against civilian areas, can be charged with war crimes in violation of international humanitarian law.

Your take: Is stock investing for suckers?
I don't blame people for wanting to give up on investing in stocks.
In the last 20 years, we've had a massive tech bubble burst, two recessions and a financial crisis that cut the value of the S&P 500 by more than half in a matter of months.
If stocks were a party guest, they'd be the rowdy drunk who you finally stop inviting to things after they break their third lamp.

Today's workout takes us out of the water and onto dry land.
Let's face it, life is unpredictable. Sometimes getting to the pool isn't an option. Dryland workouts allow you to continue training your mind and you body for the water, even when the water isn't there.
HA! NOW, you have no excuse to toss your work-out-intentions to the side and plop in-front of the TV with a bag of chips
…and even if you do…there are those commercial breaks that allow for pushups 🙂 …… just sayin'….
Below is one of my favorite workouts that I try to do 2-3 times per week. It is based on a workout by Coach Priscilla Bettis of the Lynchburg YMCA Swim Team and was originally intended to be performed after a wet workout session. I love the emphasis on power moves, shoulder stabilization and core work. I went ahead and added a cardio component to make up for the lack of aerobic work that would have been completed in the water.
- Always talk to your doctor before starting any kind of exercise.
- If you don't know how to complete an exercise move correctly and with proper form, don't do it! Ask for assistance or supervision.
- Modify any movement to fit your needs and limitations.
- If something hurts or you do not feel well – STOP – seek medical care immediately.
Workout Focus: Dryland
Equipment: A medicine ball and a resistance band
Warm-up: 10 minutes of cardio. The intensity should be on the mild-moderate side. Your getting your body ready for work! Choose from one of the following options.
- Treadmill: Set the incline between 2-3 and the speed between 4.5 – 6.5
- Elliptical: Set the resistance between 6 – 8 and keep your RPM at 60 +
- At Home: Use your stairs or run around the block – just keep moving!
Set 1:
Repeat 3 times:
- 20 Bicycle Crunches – Count 1 full cycle as 1
- 12 squat jumps to a vertical streamline
- 12 Scapular Push-ups – Controlled!
Cardio: Hit the stairs, pavement or treadmill for 10 minutes. Increase the speed and the intensity. Make these 10 minutes count!
Set 2:
Repeat 3 times:
- 15 Good Mornings with Medicine Ball
- 30 Wall-sit chest passes w/medicine ball (Play catch with a partner, use a wall or simulate throwing the ball if your flying solo)
- 30 Kneeling over-head tricep throws
Cardio: Hit the stairs, pavement or treadmill for 10 minutes. Continue to increase the speed and the intensity. You want to be working pretty hard at this point.
Set 3:
Repeat 3 times:
- 12 External Rotations – each arm
- 12 Reverse Flys
- 30 Crunches
Cool Down: 5 – 10 minutes easy cardio. Just move until you feel good.
Keep on Swimming,
Coach Meg

Sarajevo conference showcases the importance of improving intercultural dialogue, restoring symbols of multiculturalism and fostering intercultural education
The Ministry of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United Nations Programme on "Culture for Development" convened on past 16 January in Sarajevo a conference titled "Interculturalism and Intercultural Education" - focused on the importance of improving intercultural dialogue, the rehabilitation of the symbols of multiculturalism and the significance of intercultural education as a model of inclusive education. The event gathered over 110 representatives of designated cultural, education institutions and administrations from all levels of authority countrywide.
"In the global context of diversified cultures, education should provide and foster knowledge about and respect for differences. All actors involved in education: teachers and learners, curriculum developers, policy makers and community members invest their cultural perspectives into what is taught. In that process each of them should constantly be aware of the fact that next to them there are different cultural perspectives than their own. By acting in such a manner, we will all contribute to making the world and our communities better and more inclusive." said Yuri Afanasiev, UN Resident Coordinator.
Along with the focus on the development of culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Programme supported the rehabilitation of three symbols of multiculturalism: the Orthodox Church in Mostar, the Ferhadija Mosque in Banja Luka, and the Monastery in Plehan near Derventa.
"Interculturalism is an exceptionally important concept for us today. The past shows that the preservation of culture is a key to democratic society. We cannot speak of reforms without speaking of education on intercultural understanding", said Minister Nović. He added that the Culture for Development Programme jointly implemented by UNESCO, UNDP and UNICEF produced excellent results.
Audience was also addressed by Salmir Kaplan, Federal Minister of Education and Sports and Irena Soldat-Vujanović, Deputy Minister of Education and Culture of Republika Srpska, who emphasized the importance of intercultural dialogue and continued activities in this field.
The Programme Culture for Development is a three-year programme funded by the Spanish Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund which is being implemented in partnership of three UN Agencies: UNESCO, UNDP, and UNICEF, in cooperation with the Ministry of Civil Affairs of BiH, Ministry of Culture and Sports of FBiH, Ministry of Education and Culture of RS, as well as other institutions working in the area of education and culture.

Carleton offers a comprehensive liberal arts education. Because it is based on a trimester schedule, students only take three courses per ten-week term. This allows them to focus more on the classes in which they are enrolled without becoming overwhelmed. And at the end of their four-years, they will have actually taken four classes more than most students at most other universities. Additionally, because Carleton is a small school that only offers an undergraduate education, all classes are taught by professors (rather than graduate students) and are small in size.

The Fence and the Bridge
Geopolitics and Identity along the Canada–US Border
Paper 307 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$42.99 $32.24
The Fence and the Bridge is about the development of the Canada-US border-security relationship as an outgrowth of the much lengthier Canada-US relationship. It suggests that this relationship has been both highly reflexive and hegemonic over time, and that such realities are embodied in the metaphorical images and texts that describe the Canada-US border over its history.
Nicol argues that prominent security motifs, such as themes of free trade, illegal immigration, cross-border crime, terrorism, and territorial sovereignty are not new, nor are they limited to the post-9/11 era. They have developed and evolved at different times and become part of a larger quilt, whose patches are stitched together to create a new fabric and design.
Each of the security motifs that now characterize Canada-US border perceptions and relations has a precedent in border-management strategies and border relations in earlier periods. In some cases, these have deep historical roots that date back not just years or decades but centuries. They are part of an evolving North American geopolitical logic that inscribes how borders are perceived, how they function, and what they mean.
Heather N. Nicol is a political geographer whose work explores the structure and operation of the Canada–US border, with special emphasis on the impacts of security and sovereignty. Among her publications are Beyond Walls: Reinventing the Canada–US Borderlands and Holding the Line: Border in a Global World. She is also interested in the circumpolar North as a geopolitical space, and the relationship between the interests of nation-states and indigenous peoples in the North.

Watch: Denzel Washington talks 'Safe House,' South Africa and murder
Apartheid South Africa was part of the tale in Oscar-nominated "Cry Freedom," Denzel Washington's film from 1987, but fans will find his role in this year's "Safe House" -- actually shot in South Africa -- to be quite different.
Washington called his character Tobin Frost a sociopath, a murderer, a liar, a cheat and an athiest. Submerging himself into the skin of a CIA defector and dangerous underground dealer in information, he said there was no single day of shooting that was any better than others, even with all the foot races, car chases, shoot-outs, disguises and various South African destinations. For Tobin Frost, "Every day was his favorite day."
Playing opposite of safe housekeeper Ryan Reynolds, -- Washington's Frost is presented as the "bad guy," but his jaded view of worldwide intelligence agencies and covert operations also seemingly complicates the role. Good and bad, for Frost, isn't even on the radar.
"The worst murderer thinks the world is wrong and he or she is right," he said of the character on paper. "I didn't feel times that I didn't like myself. You have to love your character to stand behind him."
Check out HitFix's interview with Ryan Reynolds on "Safe House" here.
"Safe House" is out in theaters today (Feb. 10).

Gov. Christie estimates Sandy cost New Jersey $29.4 billion in damages and economic losses, from washed-out roadways to waterlogged homes to manning storm shelters.
"This preliminary number is based on the best available data, field observations and geographical mapping," Christie said in a statement released Friday evening. "I will spare no effort and waste no time to rebuild and restore our tourism industry, our transportation and utilities infrastructure and the lives of our citizens for the long term."
The estimate is considered a crucial step for Christie, who recently consulted with governors from Louisiana and Mississippi about working with the federal government after Hurricane Katrina, as he makes his case for federal funds to aid in rebuilding New Jersey's storm-ravaged coastline and cover losses incurred during widespread power outages.

IN JUNE THE GENTLEMAN BANDIT struck, ever so gently, at Houston's deluxe Adam's Mark Hotel. Robert Jones, 51, a businessman attending an aircraft convention there, heard a knock on his door. He looked through the peephole to see a middle-aged man, your typical well-groomed conventioneer, who announced that he and Jones had met before. Could he come in? "It was just Mr. Congeniality talking to Mr. Cordial," says Jones, who couldn't quite place his visitor. "After a few minutes of small talk, he said, 'Well, I have to tell you I'm really here under different pretenses. I'm here to rob you.' And he pulled out this little .22 caliber pistol."
It was a scene that had been played out nearly 100 times over the last two years at motels and upscale hotels throughout southeast Texas and western Louisiana. As he did with Jones, the so-called Gentleman Bandit typically beguiled guests with his benign appearance and articulate pleasantries. Producing the gun, he asked his victims to lie facedown on the bed (if they preferred to lie on their sides, he obliged). Then he bound their hands and feet—not too tightly—using neckties (almost all victims were men) or strips torn from towels, apologizing before making off with cash and credit cards. "He never raised his voice or used profanity," recalls Jones, who lost about $600. He even patted down Jones's hair, which had become mussed. He also kept Jones's business card, explaining, "I might be able to pay you back someday."
The next morning, June 28, Houston police and Texas state troopers arrested Michael Harvey at his home in Cibolo, near San Antonio, on charges of robbing Jones and another man. A traveling salesman for a local food broker, Harvey, 44, was handcuffed and jailed, his bail set at $200,000. At the time, it looked as if authorities had nabbed their man. A composite drawing of the Gentleman Bandit had appeared in newspapers and on local TV, which led to a tip about Harvey's resemblance to the thief with the Everyman face. And Harvey was a man on the move: His company does business in each of the more than 15 cities where the bandit had struck.
At this point, however, there's more than a little doubt about whether Harvey is indeed the culprit. What is certain is that his life has been made a shambles by the arrest and by the 11 days he spent in a Houston jail. His release on July 9—bail was lowered to $20,000—came after his lawyer, Robert Hirschhorn, presented gasoline, hotel and restaurant receipts to the Harris County district attorney's office. Hirschhorn says the documents prove Harvey was in his hometown and not in Houston (225 miles away) at the time of the Jones robbery. "Either they've installed that bullet train between San Antonio and Houston," says Hirschhorn, "or this guy is Clark Kent using an alias." He also says Harvey can account for his whereabouts during many other robberies.
Although police concede they may have to drop the charges against Harvey, he still faces possible prosecution by Louisiana authorities. Victims there selected his driver's license mug shot in a photo lineup. "The photo is blurry," says Hirsch-horn. "Besides, Mike Harvey looks like thousands of other people."
Meanwhile, Harvey, his wife, Kathy, 41, and their daughters, ages 13 and 9, struggle to cope with the family's embarrassment, to say nothing of the legal costs. "This has been absolutely terrible," says Harvey, an Air Force veteran with two years of college. "My life has been consumed by this false arrest." Harvey says that, fortunately, his employer has been "200 percent supportive." Still, he and Kathy, an accounting assistant, have had to sell their prized collections of Maxfield Parrish prints and art pottery to pay legal fees of more than $8,500 so far.
The Gentleman Bandit hasn't struck since Harvey's arrest, though while he was in jail someone claiming to be the Bandit called police, insisting they had the wrong man. "That would be in character with this guy—to try to exonerate an innocent party," says Sharon Whitman, the state investigator who first detected that Texas had a have-a-nice-day thief. "But we don't consider him a gentleman. A gentleman doesn't stick a gun in people's faces."

Judge Skewers Oracle Attorney For Revealing Google, Apple Trade Secrets (arstechnica.com) 53
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: The federal judge who presided over the Google-Oracle API copyright infringement trial excoriated one of Oracle's lawyers Thursday for disclosing confidential information in open court earlier this year. The confidential information included financial figures stating that Google generated $31 billion in revenue and $22 billion in profits from the Android operating system in the wake of its 2008 debut. The Oracle attorney, Annette Hurst, also revealed another trade secret: Google paid Apple $1 billion in 2014 to include Google search on iPhones. Judge William Alsup of San Francisco has been presiding over the copyright infringement trial since 2010, when Oracle lodged a lawsuit claiming that Google's Android operating system infringed Oracle's Java APIs. After two trials and various trips to the appellate courts, a San Francisco federal jury concluded in May that Google's use of the APIs amounted to fair use. Oracle's motion before Alsup for a third trial is pending. Oracle argues that Google tainted the verdict by concealing a plan to extend Android on desktop and laptop computers. As this legal saga was playing out, Hurst blurted out the confidential figures during a January 14 pre-trial hearing, despite those numbers being protected by a court order. The transcript of that proceeding has been erased from the public record. But the genie is out of the bottle. Google lodged a motion (PDF) for sanctions and a contempt finding against Hurst for unveiling a closely guarded secret of the mobile phone wars. During a hearing on that motion Thursday, Judge Alsup had a back-and-forth with Hurst's attorney, former San Francisco U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag. According to the San Francisco legal journal The Recorder, Haag said that her client Hurst -- of the law firm Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe -- should not be sanctioned because of "one arguable mistake made through the course of a very complex litigation."

I used to think that caloric restriction was the healthiest way to go because digestion produces more free radicals than -non-digestion- and so I should just take a lot of supplements and eat 1500 calories a day, mostly fruit, vegetables and whole grains. I'm a 130 pound 21 year old male, by the way. Embarrassing! Problem is, and I'm sure some of you would have guessed it, now that I have been eating real food for a few months, I CAN'T STOP! I average at least 3000+ calories a day and it's a little worrying. I mean I'm getting awesome nutrition and feeling great with tons of energy and vitality, but I would kind of like to eat less. I don't know when my appetite and fixation on food will subside, it has been months.
Any tips on good ways to eat less or at least stop being so preoccupied with food? Try as I might I just can't seem to reason with my body that I don't need THAT much food and am always going to provide it with enough nourishment so it could perhaps chill the fuck out and stop pumping the ghrelin.
Would IFing help? I still eat 3 meals a day and haven't tried it but now I go 7 hours between breakfast and "lunch" and when it's lunch time I'm like a raccoon in a restaurant dumpster. No let's say a hiena fighting off his brothers for some antelope meat, except nobody is competing for my food. sigh
Also, caloric restriction for weight loss is moronic. But you all know that. I just had to say it again.
