Country singer Jo Dee Messina and her husband, Chris Deffenbaugh, welcomed their first child today, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Noah Roger Deffenbaugh was born at a Nashville-area hospital at 1:01 p.m. on Monday, weighing in at 6 lbs., 15 oz.
Ready for Noah's arrival at home is a handmade crib and changing table built by his woodworker dad, who owns Deffenblaster Enterprises, which builds custom road cases.
Messina, 38 – who wed Deffenbaugh, 28, in October 2007 – told PEOPLE.com recently that the pregnancy was a welcome surprise.
"We knew we wanted to have kids, but we just said, 'Whenever it happens, it happens.' And it happened!" she said. "We were both surprised at first. It's such a lifestyle change. But then we're like, 'Wow, we're going to be parents!'"
The singer also said she planned to take her new son along when she begins a solo tour this April to promote her upcoming album, Unmistakable.
"But I'm like, 'How do you do that?'" Messina said. "Who rides where? Band? Crew? Family? What safety devices do you need? I might grab one of the other singer moms like Sara Evans or Martina McBride and say, 'Help me!'"
People Exclusive
It's a Boy for Jo Dee Messina!

Picks and Pans Main: Song
Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
Margo Timmins's languid, hypnotic voice is still the best thing about this Canadian-based country-rock group. Second best is the band's ability to come across both hip and heartfelt, a quality they raised to sublime levels on their celebrated second album, The Trinity Sessions (1987).
Black-Eyed Man is the Junkies' fourth release, following by two years the somewhat pallid The Caution Horses. Like that album, Black-Eyed Man relies almost exclusively on the songwriting efforts of Margo's brother Michael, who also handles guitar and production duties. With brother Peter on drums and family friend Alan Anton on bass, the band snakes through 12 rough-hewn numbers, all perceptively sung by Timmins.
Joining her on the role-reversing ballad "If You Were the Woman, and I Was the Man" is folkie singer-songwriter John Prine, whose hoarse vocals provide an effective counterpoint to Timmins's dreamy delivery. "If I was the woman and you were the man," he sings, "would I laugh if you came to me/ With your heart in your hand?" The band plays two effective numbers by country songwriter Townes Van Zandt: "Cowboy Junkies Lament," full of quiet rue, and the harmony-rich "To Live Is to Fly."
While there is much solid musicianship throughout, the album's overall effect is somewhat lackluster, which may be due to the sameness of the material. Once known for their beautifully bent interpretations of songs by Lou Reed, John Lee Hooker and Hank Williams, to name a few, the Junkies have gone too far toward making somnolence their signature. They might be better served by shopping for tunes that let the band cut loose again in what was once its inimitably loopy way. By relying so heavily on Michael's compositions—complex in their narratives but fairly monotonous melodically—the band may have written itself, this time, into a musical rut. (RCA)
Social Distortion
First, go to the toughest bar in the seediest part of town, a place where the cigarette smoke is so thick you need a switchblade to slice through it. Bring a drum kit and guitars with you, and ask a handful of the scowling, leather-clad patrons to see what they can do with the instruments—so much the better if they don't know which end is up and couldn't care less. The resulting racket should approximate what you get on the latest release from Social Distortion.
This Los Angeles foursome spews out rock and roll at its grungiest. Lots of crunching guitar anthems, reminiscent of, say, Neil Young at his crankiest. It's perfect music for a Harley-Davidson convention. Social Distortion used to play pure punk, but they've added enough melody to attract a more mainstream audience, while retaining the all-important elixir of anger.
The sound of Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell sets the perfect down-and-dirty tone for the bleak lyrics, which are precisely the sort of low-life tales you'd hear bandied about in a sleazy gin joint. Lovers who lose. Lovers who booze. Lovers who kill their loved ones. You don't know whether to buy the band another round or urge them to seek counseling.
In either case Between Heaven and Hell is the perfect way to experience basic bar-room rock. And you don't have to go home reeking of cigarette smoke and spilled beer. (Epic)
At the risk of sounding like a churl, I think I liked Stritch better when he was still affiliated with Montgomery, Plant and Stritch, a Texas-based vocal jazz group in the tradition of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross or the Manhattan Transfer. Admittedly, Stritch, with his bonhomie and winning way at the helm of a piano, was the linchpin of MP&S. But he seemed a bit more anchored in the group, a bit less likely to go over the top.
To be fair, there is a great deal to admire in Stritch's first solo effort. His taste in music is irreproachable, his arrangements deft and witty. He does a terrific merging of Cole Porter's "Let's Misbehave" with "Let's Do It"; "Dream Dancing" with "You Stepped Out of a Dream"; and most particularly, a fine, propulsive, tongue-twisting meld of "Night and Day" with "One Note Samba"—and who ever would have thought such an unlikely pairing could work so well?
Indeed, Stritch gleams in fast-paced songs and with those that don't test his vocal range so much, for example, the wonderfully scatted "No Moon at All" and "Buds Won't Bud." Less successful are numbers like "It Amazes Me" and "Teach Me Tonight," which have Stritch holding notes longer than his pleasant, if not especially distinguished, voice can make attractive and attempting contact with notes beyond comfortable reach. His teaming with Liza Minnelli for "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "As Long as I Live" delivers annoyance in stereo—a tumult of mutually infatuated egos and bravura uvulas. (DRG)

Caribbean Development Bank Finances State of Water Study in Caribbean Countries
6 December 2011: The Board of Directors of the Caribbean Development Bank approved a US$275,000 loan to assist in financing an assessment of the state of the water sector in all Bank borrowing member countries (BMCs) except Haiti.
Given Haiti's unique characteristics and size compared to other BMCs, a separate Bank study of its water sector will be undertaken in the future.
The study follows up on a decision by the Bank to take a more proactive and focused approach to supporting the water sector in BMCs. The study will evaluate the major development challenges currently facing the water sector in the Caribbean, including climate change, and what potential role the Bank can play in helping to address these challenges. The study aims to provide the information required by the Bank in developing new or updated policies and strategies impacting this sector, and guide its decision-making process on lending in the sector.
Besides Haiti, the Caribbean Development Bank's BMCs include Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. [CBD Press Release]

Heading to the Big Island? It's 'oyster time!'
July 16, 2013 - Carla Tracy
Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel's Coast Grille restaurant is making a splash by bringing back its famous Oyster Bar.
"It features the freshest seafood including seasonal oysters with your choice of tempting sauces on the half shell or as a shooter," says publicist Dara Lum. "It's the only oyster bar on Hawaii's Big Island, so check it out!"
Dive into the Pacific Northwest oyster on the half shell with lilikoi mignonette, rock salt and garden lemon, pictured in this blog. Or opt for the Thai shooters with lemongrass, sweet pineapple, Thai chili and house-infused kaffir-lime vodka; or the sake shooter with sake, ponzu, ume juice and shiso leaves.
Coast Grille is open for dinner Sundays through Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. For reservations or more information, call (808) 880.1111.

This was really good! You put it together well with a lot of good interviews and great pictures! It was really fun to watch.
Olivia Teteris
20. Nov, 2012
I really liked this story! It was interesting and relatable because pretty much everyone I know uses Snapchat. The captions and pictures were really detailed and that made the slideshow more interesting. I also thought it was cute how you would show actual snapchats of people.
Abigail Petrecca
20. Nov, 2012
I really liked your slideshow! It was interesting and almost anyone could relate to the story. I thought that you had a lot of great interviews from different people in different grades, and that you had pictures to show what the person being interviewed looks like. It was also really fun that you had people taking snaps of themselves and the viewer was able to see the snap.
Emma Dorfman
20. Nov, 2012
I really liked the pictures in your slideshow. This was probably a really hard topic to get good pictures for and you found a way to make it interesting. I also like your sounds in the backround.
Sarah Shroyer
20. Nov, 2012
Your slideshow was really good! Your topic was interesting to learn about especially because I do not have a snapchat. You got good pictures and the screenshot sound effect was a nice touch.
Jane Eskildsen
20. Nov, 2012
I thought this was a really good slideshow! I especially liked the background sounds of picture taking and other phone sounds, that was very creative. I also liked the many snapchat photos that were in the video. Especially the crazy ones because those are more relatable to what I send to my friends.
Haley Haxton
20. Nov, 2012
Really Nice job! it's really easy to hear and has vivid pictures that went along with every thing you said. It's really informational which is a nice change from most other slideshows.

This audio topic was very clever as Snapchat is a trending thing at the high school. I also like the background sounds as correlate with the voiceovers well.
Devon Blank

you guys did a really good job explaining what this app is. I didnt know what snap chat was before this, but it looks fun.
Victoria Millington
20. Nov, 2012
I didn't know what Snapchat was before watching this, but you did a really good job explaining what the app was. Now I want get one! And you did a really nice job with the background sounds.
Julia Wilson
20. Nov, 2012
The audio is very clear, and very good. I think SnapChat is a great thing to do for this project because of the current usage of it in UA.
Ella Koscher
20. Nov, 2012
I love all of your pictures and I like how you varied them! Also, I like how you got a lot of sources to make the slideshow have many perspectives! Well done!
Rose Paulson
25. Nov, 2012
This was so good! The audio was clear and the captions really contributed to the story. I really enjoyed the topic because I don't have a smart phone so I didn't really know what SnapChat was.
Kimmy Sullivan
27. Nov, 2012
This was a really interesting slideshow! I really enjoyed the funny pictures of people's snapchats. The way you got interviews on a lot of different aspects and viewpoints of snapchat was also cool. Great job!
Molly Quinn
27. Nov, 2012
This was an overall great slideshow! The topic was very relatable, and you showed many viewpoints- from those familiar with snap chat and those without iPhones, or the app. The captions were thorough, and you had a lot of great interviews and voiceovers. The only improvement would be to make sure your photos are not staged like many of them seemed. Great job!

Music Lyrics
Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
Out of Mind
I've been up for days
And I feel like a menagerie
I'm scratching 'til I bleed
And I keep on seeing
Imaginary lemurs
In the street
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can breathe
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be alright
I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight
I'm out of sight
I've been up for days
And I feel like a laboratory rat
Inside a maze
And I reel in the monotony of
At the moon
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can see it
Then I know I'll be ok
I'll be fine
I'm out of sight
I'm completely out of mind
Completely out of mind
Come and watch me shake tonight
Mouth wide
Soft and bright
Bite my hand and scream
Come and watch me break tonight
Push deep
Out of sight
Bite my hand and hold on tight...

Very good! Have fun and be a good gamestop salesmen! I heard a lot of bad storys on here about gamestop salesmen!
Tip of the day:
A big mistake a lot of you make is that wiiware games will be free.
Wiiware is just the same like the virtual console. Its different in that it offers new games instead of old console games.
I can think of some easy games ( Like tetris and some other in that direction ) that can be free but the majority will cost money.
i dont know what its like in america but over here in england they seem to give a life story as they pick up the phone :S

Writing on TrueHoop, Chris Sheridan has some fun with the trade machine and comes up with two deals for OKC. Deal No. 1: James Harden, Matt Harpring's contract, Etan Thomas and a couple first rounders to the Suns for Amare Stoudemire, Leandro Barbosa, and Jarron Collins. And then No. 2: Nick Collison, Kyle Weaver and D.J. White to Washington for Mike James, Francisco Oberto, Nick Young and Earl Boykins.
So now OKC's roster looks like this, assuming Kevin Ollie and Jarron Collins are bought out/waived:
C: Stoudemire, Nenad Krstic, Oberto
PF: Jeff Green, Serge Ibaka.
SF: Kevin Durant, Thabo Sefolosha
SG: Barbosa, Young, Boykins.
PG: Russell Westbrook, James, Eric Maynor
It's definitely a nice looking roster. Amare on the inside is definitely big time. And there's some offensive firepower and speed with Barbosa running between Westbrook and Durant. But here's where it makes no sense: Thabo is playing behind KD and Barbosa is starting. This team has built an identity on the defensive end, and now two of the softer defensive players in the Western Conference are now starting for you. You lose James Harden, who has been the absolute perfect fit on the roster, ruin team chemistry and potentially tick off Kevin Durant.
People are getting carried away with the Thunder right now. The common thinking is, "Hey, they're pretty good now. Why not get better and actually try and make some noise in the postseason?" And my response is, why can't the Thunder make noise with the CURRENT roster?
This team was good when the season started. And it has exponentially improved as the weeks have passed. Yes, it's young. Yes, it's not a finished product. But now this summer's flexibility takes a major hit, the Thunder is now touching what will likely be the salary cap next year and the most important thing, is the roster really that much better?
Obviously, Ford is just playing around with ideas. He's not entirely serious with these moves. And Oklahoma City is an intriguing team at the deadline. But avoiding these types of trades are exactly how Sam Presti has built the current roster. He's drafted, signed smartly and traded for pieces to build around a cornerstone. It hasn't been by running year to year trying to make a splash to keep the team's head above water. It's been by building for long term, sustained success. Living season to season is the Phoenix Sun way. That's the Washington Wizard way. That's the New Orleans Hornet way. That's not really the Thunder way.

Larry Cragun has a Warning For [New Construction] Condominium Buyers: A common practice is for condo developers to obtain a construction loan to build the project. Some then hire a contractor to deal with the construction and the subs. The contractor is dependent on the solvency of the developer to be paid. The arrangement is… Read More

Two Level Lofts
I've been skiing in Whistler which explains the lack of posts here. I'll blog more tonight, in the meantime here is a 1913 two level loft in Pioneer Square that came on the market at $589,000: I think the no parking might be a deal breaker for many. But if you're more a Capitol Hill… Read More

It is sad that the people who appreciate this town the most are out of towners and those of us who lived somewhere else. And no while things are all rosey for me at the moment.

Start with a name. Laurie Anderson. Add taped music and turn out the lights. Flash a photo on a giant screen. Slide your fingers up the strings of a fluorescent violin. Then cradle the name in your mouth again and blow it out through an electronic device that elongates the sound into an unearthly chorus. Laurrrie.Annndersonnn.
If poet/photographer/comedienne/electronic musician Laurie Anderson wanted to describe herself, this is how she might do it. But Anderson, 35, is making a bigger noise than the sound of her own name. On March 10, she began an eight-city U.S. concert tour performing excerpts or the full two-night version of her six-hour multimedia "opera," United States: Parts I-IV. Four complete performances of the work premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last month, drawing more than 85,000 people. They won Anderson rave reviews in nearly every major publication. "She has forged a new kind of musical theater, and pointed a way for the opera of the future," said New York Times critic John Rockwell.
Three years ago few outside the avant-garde had seen Laurie Anderson's "performance art," which included an outdoor symphony of Vermont car horns. But Laurie's audience expanded in 1980 when the song O Superman, about an answering machine that receives a threat of doom, soared to No. 2 on the British pop charts. Warner Bros. Records grossed well over $1 million on the record that Laurie cut for $400. The company later released Big Science, an album of her songs from United States, which sold more than 150,000 copies.
So what exactly does Laurie Anderson do onstage for those six hours? Well, she projects some 1,200 cartoons, photos and films onto a gargantuan 30-by-40-foot screen, sings accompanied by synthesizers, tapes, electric violins, saxophones, drums, a jazz bagpiper, a telephone and a toy hammer, shoots a jet of fire from a violin bow, talks about her dreams, quotes Shakespeare and Laurel and Hardy, tells jokes that have been tuned to music, and wires her head to a microphone so her chattering teeth crunch the hall with sound. Combine elements like these into 78 bits, group them loosely into four topics—transportation, politics, money and love—and you have the united states of Laurie Anderson.
Laurie began her opera in the mid-'70s in order to explain America's hotwired life-style to Europeans. Though the performance stresses the darker side of modern life—a recitative on MX missiles, photos of concrete cities and bland, endless suburbs—Laurie's onstage antics show technology's creative side as well. Some of her most dazzling feats come from surprises like a violin bow strung with a prerecorded tape instead of horsehair and drawn through a tape player mounted on her stringless violin. In other pieces, she creates eerie music on recording studio keyboards such as her Vocoder, which distorts her voice into a chord, and a synclavier, which records a sentence and plays it back as a series of tiny interchangeable pitches. "They let you hear things you only half hear normally, like a shifting window frame as it moves through a different part of the sound wave," she says.
During Laurie's concerts, a black box sits center stage, enclosing equipment that transforms her calm, clear tones into Mickey Mouse squeaks or the drawl of a traveling salesman. Looking like a spiky-haired dead-end kid, Laurie kneels before the box as if it were an altar, but she's not praying, she's prying at jammed parts with a screwdriver. "Instruments fail all the time," she says. "I kind of like those moments. It really forces me to act. I did one piece in which absolutely everything was perfect and it was automatic. I didn't like that feeling much."
Growing up in Glen Ellyn, Ill., 23 miles west of Chicago, Laurie started violin lessons at 5. Encouraged by her father, who ran a lucrative paint business, and her mother, a housewife, Laurie and her seven siblings played original music in a family band. Though she first thought she'd become a librarian, Laurie earned a B.A. from Barnard College and a master's degree in sculpture from Columbia University. Then she taught art history, wrote art criticism, and in the early '70s expanded from sculpture to photography and electronic arts. One work, a "talking table," included a hidden tape recorder that sent vibrations through the arms of viewers who leaned on it. Slowly, Laurie collected electronic odds and ends for her multimedia performances. She previewed early segments of United States at Lower Manhattan's Kitchen in 1979 and finally completed the work only hours before her premiere.
These days Laurie's downtown Manhattan loft, where she lives alone, stands nearly empty except for an icon: a full-color map of the world. After performing in French, German and Italian across Europe last month, she continues her nonstop 8 a.m.-to-4 a.m. schedule of concerts and rehearsals across the U.S. As she travels, she carries her vision of lost Americans seeking direction in an electronic landscape. "Hey, pal! How do I get to town from here?" Laurie asks audiences. Her answer: "Just take a right where they're going to build that new shopping mall, go straight past where they're going to put the freeway, take a left at what's going to be the new sports center, and keep going until you hit the place where they're thinking of building that drive-in bank." If you follow those directions, you'll find the true Laurie Anderson, on the road where opera meets video games.

Ginobili: 'I don't expect a contract extension'
From Clarin:
"Ya ni espero que el equipo me ofrezca una extension del contrato."
¿Te dan señales?
"No, no hubo ninguna señal. La última fue antes de lesionarme el año pasado y no se habló más del tema. En este punto de la temporada no sé si extendería el contrato, depende de la oferta. Pero estoy muy mentalizado para sentarme el 1° de julio con mi agente y mi mujer y ver qué ofertas tengo."
Translation provided by Las Espuelas of PtR:
"I no longer expect a contract extension."
Do you have any hints that this is the case?
"No, there has been no hints. The last one was prior to getting hurt last year, and we haven discussed the topic anymore. At this point in the season, I dont know if I would accept an extension, it would depend on the offer. But I have made my mind to sit down on the 1st of July with my agent, my wife and evaluate what offers I have."
Well, this is certainly shocking news, although the financial impact of the Jefferson trade made this day foreseeable (whether we were willing to acknowledge it or not). I am not prepared to say that this will be Manu Ginobili's last season with the Spurs; there are too many variables to say that definitively. But it would be hard to take Manu's remarks seriously while remaining optimistic about his chances of donning the silver and black next season.

What's New in Blackboard 9.1 SP 11
St. Edward's University upgraded to Blackboard 9.1 Service Pack 11 on July 4th and to a new theme (look and feel) on August 16th. Please check the Known Issues page for possible issues including how to copy/paste into the new editor and how to view non-secure content that is linked from within Blackboard.
Blackboard's new look and feel is part of a theme that was updated on August 16th. The theme has a more modern, streamlined look.
- Most functions are in the same location as the old theme
- Additional functions are revealed with you point to or hover over items
- Improved discussion forum display. Issues with display of grading areas in discussions has been resolved.
The video below goes over the changes to the theme.
The first time you log on after the upgrade, you will see an introductory screen.
You can click "Close" to make this page go away. The drop down to the right of your name is My Blackboard and the icon on the far right is the Log Off button.
My Blackboard. If you move your cursor to the top right of your screen and click on the little triangle to the right of your name, the My Blackboard pop-up will appear. You can navigate between open courses directly, without going back to the Courses page. Just click on My Blackboard (the down triangle to the right of your name at the upper right) and you'll see the last 5 courses you accessed at the top and the rest of the courses in which you are enrolled below. From My Blackboard you can navigate to the Posts button to see posts from all courses, the Updates button to see update notifications from all courses and the My Grades icon which shows you grades from all courses on one page. The number next to the drop down menu is the number of new posts, notifications or grades available. A short video intoduction to My Blackboard is available.
My Posts. Within the My Blackboard menu you can see a list of recent posts to forums and blogs. You can access the forum from this menu to view or reply to a post or to comment on a blog.
My Updates. Within the My Blackboard menu you can see a list of updates about new content items added to classes, new assignments, new announcements and new quizzes. You can click on the open link to the right of a specific item to go directly to the new assignment or content item.
My Grades. Within the My Blackboard menu you can see grades from all of your classes. You can see the most recent grades at the top or sort by class.
New Text Editor. The content editor allows you to add and format text, insert equations and hyperlinks, tables, and attach different types of files to content. The editor appears throughout the system as the default editor. The legacy WebEQ equation editor has been replaced with a new mathML equation editor (WIRIS). Blackboard has extensive documentation on the new text editor.
The simple mode contains a minimal set of the most used text formatting functions. Click the show more
( ) function—represented by two down pointing arrows—to access more editor functions.
You may notice that the Paste from Word Mashup is gone. This is because Blackboard now does a much better job of handling the HTML when you Paste from Word, so you can just go back to the normal Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V or Edit, Copy then Edit, Paste that you are used to when copying into the Visual Text Box. Not everything will be copied brilliantly, because Blackboard is not MSWord, but if you save your Word document as an .rtf, you'll get a pretty good idea of how it will look in Blackboard.
Rubrics. In addition to the No Rubric, Points, Points Range and Percentage option, there is now a Percentage Range option, providing more flexibility in grading using rubrics.
Item analysis of test items. Watch Blackboard's video explaining item analysis.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. released from jail
By Lance Pugmire
August 3, 2012, 12:03 p.m.
World boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. walked out of a Las Vegas jail early Friday after more than a two-month stay for his role in a domestic battery case.
"He was just glad to get out," Mayweather's advisor Leonard Ellerbe said.
Mayweather, wearing a leather Miami Heat cap, didn't speak to reporters after leaving the Clark County Detention Center, where he was greeted by Ellerbe, one of his daughters and rapper 50 Cent, among others, before driving away in his Bentley sedan.
Mayweather, 35, entered jail June 1 after Clark County Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa allowed him to delay his term to fight Miguel Cotto in a world super-welterweight title bout May 5 in Las Vegas.
Mayweather won the bout by unanimous decision, improving to 43-0.
During his jail term, Mayweather's rival Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines was surprisingly upset by Timothy Bradley in a disputed split-decision June 9 at MGM.
Pacquiao is set to fight again Nov. 10 at MGM, and his promoter Bob Arum is scheduled to fly to the Philippines Monday to discuss the boxer's next opponent, expected to be either Bradley, Juan Manuel Marquez or Cotto.
But not Mayweather, Arum said.
"From what I understand, the possibility of a Mayweather fight for Manny would be in the early spring," Arum said.
The two sides have tried and failed for three years to strike a Mayweather-Pacquiao deal, with drug testing, old grudges and purse disputes ending the negotiations.
Arum said he's hopeful Mayweather's alliance with 50 Cent in an aspiring boxing promotion career could help facilitate a deal. Arum and Richard Schaefer, the chief executive of Golden Boy Promotions, which has assisted Mayweather in promoting all of his fights since 2007, are bitter rivals who barely speak.
"The guy who appears to be making decisions with Floyd now is 50 Cent, not Schaefer," Arum said.
Arum said he met with a few of 50 Cent's associates last week in Las Vegas and was encouraged by the discussion. "As soon as things settle down, we'll sit down and try to make a deal," Arum said. "50 Cent thinks it can be done. He's a very intelligent guy who's done very for himself."
It's unclear if Mayweather, who was named by Forbes magazine as the world's richest athlete, will fight again this year.
Mayweather was released short of his 90-day sentence. Good behavior and recent jail overcrowding were credited by a Mayweather friend as the reasons why the boxer was allowed to walk out early.

Theaters looking for a new target market
JOHANNESBURG — The vast majority of South Africa's 40-million people have never been to the cinema, kept away by the legacy of apartheid, poverty and language barriers.
But the nation's exhibs are hoping to change that by using the indigenous filmmaking along with digital technology to connect to the missing multitudes.
Historically, the target audience has been the English-speaking, educated middle and upper classes, with most films in English. Foreign language films bear English subtitles. Cinemas are generally situated in upmarket urban areas, far away from the townships set up during apartheid where most black people still live.
The past year has seen the rise of quality indigenous-language filmmaking, with the international success of the first Zulu-language feature, the Oscar-nommed "Yesterday," and the first Xhosa-language feature, Berlin Golden Bear winner "U-Carmen eKhayelitsha." But the majority of Zulu and Xhosa language speakers are unlikely to see these films.
A group of industry professionals — including "Yesterday" lead actress Leleti Khumalo and her husband, leading musical theater producer Mbongeni Ngema — have set up Shout Africa, which plans to change this with a new digital cinema distribution system.
Starting in September, Shout Africa will roll out 20 digital cinemas around the country where facilities are most lacking, to make the movies affordable and accessible.
Shout Africa chief executive Lance Samuels says that for local producers, these cinemas will provide another distribution outlet as well as the opportunity to build new audiences.
Locally produced films in indigenous languages and English will be shown alongside foreign features, with subtitles in the vernacular language of the region of the cinema.
Besides the usual popcorn and soft drinks, popular traditional township foods such as maize porridge, spicy sausages, samp (hominy), mealies (corn on the cob) and fried chicken will be on sale to help make the d-cinema experience more African.
Samuels says d-cinemas will be located in revamped township community centers to create a quality experience, including comfortable chairs, high quality digital projection and state of the art surround sound.
And, hoping to seal the deal, prices willbe much lower than at urban multiplexes.

About This Book
Just when seventeen-year-old Cullen Witter thinks he understands everything about his small and painfully dull Arkansas town, it all disappears...
In the summer before Cullen's senior year, a nominally-depressed birdwatcher named John Barling thinks he spots a species of woodpecker thought to be extinct since the 1940s in Lily, Arkansas. His rediscovery of the so-called Lazarus Woodpecker sparks a flurry of press and woodpecker-mania. Soon all the kids are getting woodpecker haircuts and everyone's eating "Lazarus burgers." But as absurd as the town's carnival atmosphere has become, nothing is more startling than the realization that Cullen's sensitive, gifted fifteen-year-old brother Gabriel has suddenly and inexplicably disappeared.
While Cullen navigates his way through a summer of finding and losing love, holding his fragile family together, and muddling his way into adulthood, a young missionary in Africa, who has lost his faith, is searching for any semblance of meaning wherever he can find it. As distant as the two stories seem at the start, they are thoughtfully woven ever closer together and through masterful plotting, brought face to face in a surprising and harrowing climax.
Complex but truly extraordinary, tinged with melancholy and regret, comedy and absurdity, this novel finds wonder in the ordinary and emerges as ultimately hopeful. It's about a lot more than what Cullen calls, "that damn bird." It's about the dream of second chances.

Touring the Grounds
The Original Mission Site. Today no structures are standing. The original buildings were burnt down in 1848 in retaliation for an Indian village which had been destroyed. Archeologists located the foundations of the mission buildings, which are now marked with concrete blocks. A flat, paved, self-guiding trail goes through the mission site. Walking along the path one sees
The Great Grave. The Whitmans and eleven others were buried in one mass grave, located at the bottom of the hill. On the 50th anniversary of the attack a marble slab was put on top of the grave.
Marker for Alice Clarissa. On the evening of her 29th birthday (March 14, 1837) Narcissa Whitman gave birth to the Whitmans' only child, Alice Clarissa. A short 2 years and 3 months later Alice Clarissa tragically drowned in the nearby river. According to Catherine Sager, when her family arrived at the mission in 1843 Narcissa pointed to a nearby hill and said, "The only child I ever had sleeps there." Evidence suggests that the original grave marker was made of wood. By the late 1850's the marker was gone, possibly destroyed in a grass fire. A new marker for Alice Clarissa Whitman was dedicated on May 8, 1968. That marker is located at the base of the hill.
The Monument. In addition to the marble slab, a monument to the Whitmans was erected on the top of the hill during the 50th Anniversary event. Paved paths on either side of the hill lead to the monument.
Reconstructed Oregon Trail Ruts. For a few years the Whitmans' mission was important to Oregon Trail emigrants. Reconstructed ruts are located in the general area those wagons would have traveled. A replica of the type and size of wagon that the emigrants took to this area sits on top of the ruts. Typically the emigrants walked alongside their wagons. Today one can walk along these ruts to reach the base of the hill.

Some Thoughts on Libel Tourism
Andrew R. Klein
Indiana University School of Law
December 31, 2010
Pepperdine Law Review, Vol. 38, p. 101, 2010
This paper addresses the topic of "libel tourism," a phrase used to describe cases where plaintiffs sue for defamation in a foreign jurisdiction and then seek to enforce judgments in the U.S., where the outcome might have been different because of protections for speech embodied in the United States Constitution. A number of commentators have discussed libel tourism at length, and this paper does not provide a treatise on the topic. Rather, it reviews recent reactions from legislators, courts, and commentators, and then offer some thoughts about whether these reactions appropriately balance concerns of comity and free speech. Ultimately, the essay concludes that U.S. attempts to address the issue of libel tourism have been quite broad, and suggests a more cautious approach that would better contribute to maintaining America's role as a leader in the evolving world of tort law.

on March 3, 2013 - 12:49 AM
, updated March 3, 2013 at 1:13 AM
The best player in the Mid-American Conference was tired of losing, fed up with victory slipping just beyond UB's grasp, frustrated by a season that's been maddeningly erratic. And on Saturday night, Javon McCrea took it all out on the team with the nation's longest winning streak.
In a statement game that enhances his credentials and maybe even locks up the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year Award, McCrea dazzled and dominated as the Bulls brought Akron's 19-game streak to a crashing conclusion, 81-67, before 4,204 energized fans at Alumni Arena.
UB built a five-point halftime lead, fell behind one and then pulled away behind McCrea's variety show. He scored 18 of his game-high 26 points in the second half and did it with a stunning array of offensive skills. He made jumpers from just inside the arc, scored off a cross-over move in the lane, baffled Akron 7-footer Zeke Marshall with a stutter-step jumper and banked home a scoop layup.
"Before the game I told Javon, 'Dominate,' " said senior captain Tony Watson. "I told him he was the best post in the conference and he needed to put on a display tonight and I think he really took that to heart. He was the most aggressive player on the court and he dominated."
McCrea has scored in double figures in every MAC game and entered second in the conference with a 19.7 average. He's also fourth in field goal percentage, second in rebounding and second in blocks. If there was a mark against him it might have been the lackluster 11-point game he had in UB's 68-64 loss at Akron on Jan. 26.
"I didn't play as well as I wanted to the first time we met so I wanted to come out tonight and be aggressive against Akron," McCrea said. "I knew I wasn't likely to score a lot of post-up buckets so I wanted to score a lot at the top of the key."
McCrea went 13 of 18 from the field and yet the points that finished off the Zips came on his backdoor feed to Will Regan (16 points) for a layup and a 73-63 lead with 2:07 remaining. UB's first-ever victory over a ranked opponent (Akron is No. 24 in the coaches' poll) was assured and the students were successfully dissuaded from rushing the floor.
"He just got in the middle of the zone and he draws a lot of attention and he saw me and I just finished it," Regan said.
The Bulls (12-7, 7-7) pulled off the feat with an ironman lineup. While Akron played eight players at least 12 minutes, UB got 40-minute games out of its starting backcourt of Jarryn Skeete (18 points) and Watson (13 points) and a scant 13 minutes out of its bench. Some of that sub time was due to Auraum Nuiriankh being ejected along with Akron's Deji Ibitayo with 4:41 left. His replacement, Raphell Thomas-Edwards, aided the cause by making three of four free throws.
Akron (23-5, 13-1) may have been ripe for the taking. The Zips were coming off an emotional overtime victory at Ohio that probably sewed up the regular-season title.
"You're not always going to have it every night," Marshall said.
"We got a winning streak, we're in the Top 25 in the coaches poll, we've got everybody's best shot all year long," said Zips coach Keith Dambrot. "We played at Ohio, a tough game, an emotional game, and [UB is] good, they just haven't won close games. We caught them on a good night."
Entertainment value oozed as UB built a 37-32 halftime lead. McCrea dunked twice in transition, once after a block of Marshall. Marshall dunked twice himself, once off a pretty alley-oop from Alex Abreu. And the two big guys muscled it up inside, giving their battle the feel of a mid-major Bill Russell-Wilt Chamberlain matchup.
McCrea's work in the paint helped free up the perimeter and the Bulls fired away with atypical accuracy. Watson went 3 of 4. Skeete made good on two of his three tries. And Regan added a pair from long range.
UB looked at it like taking care of unfinished business. They built a 20-point lead in the game at Akron but couldn't sustain.
"We looked at this game as if it was just Akron," Watson said. "We didn't look at them as the 24th-ranked team in the country. We knew what we did the first time and we felt as if we gave them that game. So going into this game we had somewhat of a chip on our shoulder."

California's 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has upheld a new law banning change therapy. The therapy is used to help those with unwanted same-sex attraction. The law was supposed to take effect at the beginning of the year, but has been on hold pending an upper court ruling. That ruling came Thursday when the 9th Circuit ruled the ban does not violate therapists' free speech rights.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed a similar measure last week.
Liberty Counsel, which filed the case on behalf of minors receiving the therapy, was outraged by the ruling. "California has no compelling or empirical reason to justify banning change therapy, especially when the client seeks such counsel," Liberty Counsel Chairman Mat Staver said.
"Legislators and judges in the state of California have essentially barged into the private therapy rooms of victimized young people and told them that their confusion, caused by the likes of a Jerry Sandusky abuser, is normal and they should pursue their unwanted and dangerous same-sex sexual attractions and behavior, regardless of whether those minors desire their religious beliefs to trump their unwanted attractions," Staver charged.
Liberty Counsel says it may file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Malbolge Language
The first programming language designed specifically to be difficult to use. The web site is here:
There is some doubt as to Malbolge's
ness. The author believes it to be Turing-complete, using the rotate operator to perform computations and self-modifying code for conditional execution. However, the
s used to produce the first Malbolge
never resulted in a program that didn't halt. Most programs written randomly in a Turing-complete language suffer from the
, and so this casts doubt on Malbolge's Turing-completeness.
Couldn't one produce a non-halting Malboge program by filling up memory with NOPs? Such a program would simply loop through memory forever. At any rate, the above argument is a
. The existence of programs that don't halt is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a
; it's easy to produce FSM's that never halt (a FSM with a single state, with an epsilon-transition to itself, will suffice). The
states that it is impossible to determine in finite time (in general) whether a
will halt or not; not that
's can have non-halting programs. With a FSM, a
examine a FSM and determine if the FSM will halt or not, in finite time.
See also:
An article about Malbolge programming:
Proof that Malbolge is not
is simple.
According to the documentation, the Malbolge programming model includes a fixed-size memory of 59049 (3^10) words, each word can hold 3^10 different states. There is NO other memory than that. By definition, then, Malbolge implements a
. The number of possible states is large (3^10)^(3^10), but finite.
Wait a minute. You could make similar arguments about C, yet C is regarded as
. The unboundedness of
s usually translates in practice into "big enough limits to get things done".
doesn't limit the size of memory available to C programs. One can always get more with malloc(); one can further get more memory by use of recursion to create additional stack frames (though recursion without malloc might get you a pushdown automaton, not a
). One could argue that memory available to C programs is limited by "sizeof (void *)"; one could counter-argue that this is an implementation detail and not a fundamental limitation of the language. For other high-level languages (where the size of pointers is not exposed via a sizeof operator), even this argument fades away. With Malbolge; memory is fixed. You've got 3^10 words; and not a single word more. At any rate, I suspect we're picking nits here. :)
I agree on the nitpicking, disagree on the details of the nit... sizeof(void*) can be chosen by an implementation, but MUST be finite. Therefore, C has exactly the same memory limitations as Malbolge... a different finite number was chosen, but it's not possible in either to have an arbitrary number of states. --
. But as you say, that's the case for any given
of C, not "Platonic" C itself.
The fact that it permits self-modifying code doesn't change the fact that it's a finite state machine.
In order to be
, a programming language must operate under the assumption that an infinite amount of memory is available. (True, real computer hardware is always a
, infinite memories being impossible to build, but no
language limits memory in its programming model).
As a consequence: Were I to implement a (non-validating) parser for XML (a well-known example of a context free grammar); it would always be possible for me to construct an XML document of sufficient complexity that
Malbolge implementation; no matter how much memory may be installed on the underlying computer, could parse.
languages would only be limited by the amount of physical memory (RAM, disk, etc.); and any limitations encountered could be bypassed by installing more.
While iteration and selection constructs are generally considered
ness; they are not sufficient. An infinite random-access store is also required.
True, but not terribly relevant. When one speaks of "
" in practical terms, one almost always makes the assumption that very large = infinite, for the very practical reason that real computers don't have infinite memory. Otherwise, you would have to claim that
is not Turing-complete, which is true in a strict sense but not terribly useful. Since high-level languages are implemented on top of assembly/machine language, you'd then have to claim that programming language implementation is Turing complete, as you can't emulate a Turing machine on a finite state machine.
Malbolge gives an address space of close to 600k trits, which is more than early (
/Commodore) PCs. People managed reasonable approximations of Turing-complete languages on those.
And were you to implement a non-validating parser for XML in
language, it is always possible to construct an XML document of sufficient complexity that
mainstream OS, no matter how much physical memory is installed on the underlying machine, can parse. Simply make it 4 gigs long.
By this definition, what languages are turing complete? C isn't... there's no arbitrary-precision pointer type, so no way to address more than 2^32 or 2^64 or some other finite number of bytes of memory... Java, I suppose, is, making it MorePowerfulThanCee
! Can someone take a shot at a formal definition of EffectivelyTuringComplete
? --
There's one nitpicky formally precise answer, and there's another answer that is more helpful for practical purposes.
Precisely speaking, to be
requires unbounded memory. This is not infinite, it's finite but of arbitrary size; nothing prevents doubling it.
If the definition of C says that pointers can never be more than 32 bits (although it does not say this), then technically, C would not be
, while if the definition of C leaves the width of pointers implementation-dependent, then technically it would be
- even though any given implementation will always have some such limit.
Practically speaking, however, it doesn't matter if a language or physical/virtual machine has a strict upper limit on memory, as long as that limit is large enough for all practical purposes.
is universal because it can simulate any other Turing machine, regardless of how many states, how many symbols, etc. Obviously no realizable machine can formally be a
, because there are an infinite number of
s that require more resources to simulate than are available to any realizable machine.
Pragmatically, there are limits to what we can implement, so that theoretical issue doesn't matter in practice. The question is whether something is universal for the uses to which we might put it.
Above it is claimed that Malbolge is merely equivalent to a finite state machine because a memory limitation is built-in to the language definition. This is strictly true, but pragmatically probably false.
In theory, any
can be simulated by a finite state machine, yes, but in general it requires an exponential number of states to do so. So that equivalency is formally true, but untrue in practice because we usually can't afford to use an exponential number of states to do things.
Note also that typical
s tend to require exponential time and/or space resources for algorithms that are linear on real world computers - there is already a huge important gap between theory and practice in this regard (this is all well known theoretically, I'm not talking about a deficiency in the formal treatments). Yet it is reasonable for many purposes to treat
s and Pentiums as equivalent; it depends on what you're talking about.
So in practice, it is much more to the point to regard a finite
as just a
that happens to have a limited resource, not to regard it as a basic finite state machine.
So pragmatically, if the memory size is the only issue (I don't know the language, there may be other issues; maybe Malbolge also requires exponential memory for something that C only requires linear memory for), Malbolge is
as much as any actual implementation of C.
Therefore, the claim at top of page that Malbolge is not
is a nitpick, rather than truly informative about the language. If a non-academic asks if something is
, usually what is really desired is to know if one can write the usual algorithms in it: eight queens, a mail program, a wiki, etc. So far as I know, these things may all be possible in Malbolge.
OK, I make a suggestion of a new variant to make Malbolge
. There is a new register called B, which is an infinite stack of numbers, and 2 new commands:
X = Push value of A onto B stack.
? = Discard pop 1 value from B stack.
The first 82 words of the memory are actively stored in reference by the stack. Each section is 82 words long, and the first 82 words of the memory is the same as that section. For example, () stores 82 words (for normal malbolge), and (23,5,112,112,1211,9051) also stores 82 words, which will be copy memory later.
What is stored in different part started in program, can be given by different section of the file indicated by @@@ and list and $$$ at end of the list of numbers. Separator by 6 and numbers are base 7 using these characters: +190875 [Example: @@@$$$ program @@@+657+7$$$ program]
Is this going to work?
