In a free and open society the right to express oneself, even when the content of that expression may result in offending a small or large number of citizens is at the heart of the constitution's first amendment and while France (the country most responsible for influencing our nation's focus on personal liberties) may not have a first amendment, it does have a strong legal and cultural tradition of support for free speech. As Banned Books week comes to a close, check out the posthumously penned Open Letter: On Blasphemy, Islamaphobia, and the True Enemies of Free Expression for a perspective that will likely provoke moral squirming from both ends of the political and religious spectrum. From the jacket, "A searing criticism of hypocrisy and racism, and a rousing, eloquent defense of free speech, Open Letter shows Charb's words to be as powerful and provocative as his art. This an essential book about race, religion, the voice of ethnic minorities and majorities in a pluralistic society, and above all, the right to free expression and the surprising challenges being leveled at it in our fraught and dangerous time".
Here is a book that puts into words the extremely satisfied feeling I have gained from a lifetime of striking up conversations with random people in airports, playgrounds, stores, restaurants, libraries, on the street, and probably most of all, in LONG lines at various places! Kio Stark's When strangers meet : how people you don't know can transform you encourages intentional interaction with strangers, which can be a life-changing, enriching experience. Even brief word exchanges can help you become more a part of your community, and others. There is a world out there of people longing for connection…don't just look down at the sidewalk.
When I was eight years old, I stumbled across a book in my elementary school library that sparked a decades-long obsession for a certain period of world history and sewed the seeds for the activist I would become as an adult -- Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl.
The books in my elementary school library were sorted by grade level. Students were only allowed to check out books from their grade range. A few times per week, my class would visit the school library for an hour of quiet reading. During one of these visits, as I walked up and down the aisles, an off-white book with a black and white photo of a young girl caught my eye. I remember studying her face, her large eyes, and wondering what she was thinking about at the moment that school photo was taken. Intrigued, I plopped down on a whistle chair in a private corner and started to read.
Within minutes I was sucked into the world of this 13-year-old girl and quickly lost track of time. When my teacher informed the class it was time to check out, I panicked. I knew I would not be able to check out the book, as I was not old enough. I was desperate to finish it, so I made the drastic choice to slip the diary into my backpack. I remember sweating, being terrified as I walked out of the library, waiting for a firm hand to grab my shoulder and an angry voice to call me out as a thief. I thought about how much trouble I would be in. Despite the fear, I wasn't swayed. I HAD to finish the book.
Anne's life was drastically different from mine, but in many ways, I related to her. I too found escape through writing. I too found relief in creating other worlds I felt safe in. I identified with her feelings of isolation and desperation for a different life -- a different, kinder world. By the time I neared the end of the diary and realized she died alone at Bergen-Belsen, I was heartbroken. I felt like I had lost a friend, a confidant.
I didn't realize it at the time, but at 8 years old, I had experienced the age-old, controversial practice of book banning. Someone else deemed the material was inappropriate for someone my age. Someone else determined I was not mature enough to handle the content of the book, and demanded my school prevent students of my age access to it. This someone had no idea the impact this book would have on my life. While I absolutely do not condone stealing, I do not regret my decision.
Since Anne's father Otto Frank published the first edition of the diary in 1947, Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl remains one of the most challenged books in history. The original published diary, and the subsequent releases of the rest of Anne's writings have been under constant fire by opponents, mostly Holocaust deniers, who have questioned their authenticity.
Because of the persistent accusations against the diary in the 1960's and 70's, Otto Frank led the charge for a number of investigations. The most extensive was executed in the early 1980's by the Netherlands Forensic Institute at the request of the National Institute for War Documentation. The result was a 250-page report that irrefutably proved the authenticity of Anne's collection of work.
It is ironic that ever since her death at age 16 in 1945, Anne Frank is still being persecuted. As recently as 2013, a mother of a seventh-grade girl in the Northville school district in Michigan claimed the definitive version of Frank's diary, which includes passages left out of the original 1947 edition, is too graphic for young students. The mother felt Anne's description of her developing body was "pornographic." Fortunately, the school district rejected the challenge.
Anne Frank's diary is considered one of the most influential, historical documentations of The Holocaust, which is exactly what Ann hoped to accomplish when she rewrote her diary with the intention of publishing it when the war was over. Anne wanted to "go on living, even after her death" and she has. Hatred and ignorance extinguished her life, but despite continued oppression, her voice is louder than ever.
You may remember Mara Wilson as Robin William's youngest daughter in Mrs. Doubtfire or as Nikki Petrova on Melrose Place, but she's most widely known for her wonderful performance as Matilda in the 1996 movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel. She left Hollywood when she was a teenager to pursue her true love—storytelling—and study at NYU. Her first book, a memoir called Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame, is a smart, funny take on her experiences going from an odd child to a well-adjusted adult. I imagine a grownup Matilda would love to read this.
Leslie Jamison's book of essays, The Empathy Exams, begins with her experience working as a medical actor. What is a medical actor? I had the same question. It is an actor that is given a profile of someone with a particular ailment and symptoms and personality. Then they will have a mock appointment with a medical student so the student can practice diagnosing the illness. However, they aren't just practicing the clinical part, but the social skills part; the ability to empathize with their patient and create a relationship where the patient would be willing to talk freely about their illness.
Can you practice empathy? Can you practice empathy when you know the person is just acting?
These are some of the questions she explores in the first essay. After that, the most difficult ultramarathon race, a prison in West Virginia, mines in Bolivia, and a tour of South Central Los Angeles are just a few of the places she will take you on her nuanced and moving dissection of empathy.
My favorite writers are those whose writings tend to defy rigid categories. I'm interested in voices whose passionate minds are rich with curiosity and whose texts feel less like someone rooted to certainties and more like an interrogation of social reality as a shifting terrain of beliefs butting up against power dynamics, history and politics. Over the past few years I've been drawn to books of essays and memoirs whose authors are fascinated by a wide range of subjects and themes. Teju Cole is my kind of writer and the kind thinker that our times require in order to make sense (or at the very least question) of complex issues. And in this book of 50 essays, he pulls it off with a beautiful prose that is inviting and accessible. His newest book Known and Strange Things: Essays is a wildly perceptive book that packs a punch even though it resists feeling 'ideological' or like someone shouting truths at you. From his interest in photography to James Baldwin's experiences in Switzerland, to his love of literature to his various travels around the world, Cole's erudite voice is that of someone whose sparkling mind finds immense joy in the world's fertile landscape of ideas and culture.
Olinguito, from A to Z! by Lulu Delacre is an award winning alphabet book written in both Spanish and English. It takes the reader on a journey accompanying an intrepid zoologist searching out the elusive olinguito. An olinguito is a mammal recently discovered to be a separate species. Related to the raccoon, olinguitos live exclusively in the cloud forests of Ecuador.
This beautifully illustrated volume features the many plants and animals who call the cloud forest their home. It also includes the author's notes about the real discovery of the olinguito, as well as additional information about the cloud forest, how the illustrations came to be, on being an explorer, and a glossary of the various cloud forest plants and animals(with their Spanish pronunciations).As an added bonus, there is a built-in puzzle/game that will have younger readers going back to play more than once.
Very creative and truly Magnifico!
I did not read this book. But you should. Really, try it.I couldn't read it. I can only tolerate a certain amount of charts, graphs, statistics, and facts upon facts. I'm exaggerating. Actually, my complete lack of knowledge and interest about the economy, and how it works, was a major roadblock for me. I simply didn't have an entry point. Also, it's quite academic.The book traces the history of inequality in America from the very beginning—when we were drinking the King's tea—to now. When was it best? (hint: not now). When was it worse? (hint: now). It's a story that ebbs and flows and, most importantly, it's a story about policies and how those policies limit or expand inequality. In other words, this is not art, witchcraft, or guessing: policies have predictable results, and politicians should be clever enough to know those results. At the end of the book, the author's try to make policy suggestions. The two that I remember were investing in education and having an "inheritance tax" (that is, taxing wealth that is passed on and inherited…yeah, that's right; it's un-American, darn it! Pull yourself up by your own bookstraps!).If you read books about the economy, and are interested in this social justice issue, you will enjoy this well researched book.
If you liked Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, From Missiles to the Moon to Mars or We Could Not Fail: The First African Americans in the Space Program, place a hold on the new book Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race. The book is already being adapted for the big screen, starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monae.
Michael Eric Dyson is one of the rock stars and public intellectuals of our time, a deep thinker on issues that face African Americans in America. He is a protégé of another African American giant, Cornel West and, like Aristotle ditched Plato, the two have sort of parted ways on certain ways of thinking. This book, a collection of interviews and TV debates, shows the depth and breadth of his thought, on various issues: mass incarceration, integration, Affirmative Action, black leaders, President Obama, and much more (he wrote a book titled Is Bill Cosby Right?, for example). Dyson has a unique view on rap culture and has become known for defending it. Reading his interviews is almost a disservice to his rhetorical gifts and stage presence, so do yourself a favor and supplement this book with copious youtube watching. The beauty of this book is all the other great thinkers that you meet along the way.

Banging Those Bongos
Featuring Mindy Jo
Date December 16th, 2009
Duration 20:21
This SCORE Classic is from Voluptuous Xtra #2 which also starred super-hot Latina Helena, tittiful Stevie Kaye and in the only video she ever made, girl-next-door Talya Faust. Mindy Jo, swinger from Redondo Beach Southern California, leads a double life. By day, the hard-working, quiet office gal. But by night and on weeeknds, she's swingin' and swappin' body parts with equally lusty guys and gals and she became one of the most popular of the plump Voluptuous models. "If I had my way," says Mindy, "I'd have sex 24 hours a day. But that isn't reality, and paying the bills is. So I make the best of my free time and get laid as often as I can, at least three times a week. I like a lot of sex but, when it happens, I like to take my time. I guess professional video actresses get used to it, and are blase about it, but I don't make hundreds of movies like they do." We wonder what Mindy Jo is up to these days. We were the only guys she did videos for.

Comments Thread For: Vlasov vs Gevor Early Fight Results From Troitsk
Fighting Orthodox priest Sergiy Akimov (0-3) showed tremendous character in his fight with Ilshat "Obama" Khusnulgatin (6-0, 3 KOs) to hear the final bell on his feet, but his insufficient skills resulted in a one-sided loss. Akimov was down in the third after a hard left hook, and lost all but one round on the judges' scorecards: 60-53 (twice) and 59-54. Lanky (6'4'') southpaw light heavyweight Khusnulgatin looks like a prospect to watch after but not a boxer to collide with.

Scottish novelist Iain Banks has died
When Scottish novelist Iain Banks announced in April that he had an inoperable form of cancer, his large online following responded with affection and dismay.
"There can have been few novelists of recent years who were more aware of what their readers thought of their books; there is a frequent sense in his novels of an author teasing, testing and replying to a readership with which he was pretty familiar," wrote The Guardian's John Mullan in his obituary piece on Banks, who died Sunday at age 59. »Read Full Blog Post

So here's an interesting thing I discovered. The 2m Lightning cable that Apple introduced last month alongside the iPhone 5S has a different housing than the standard 1m Lightning cable that ships with the iPhone. Here's a photo of them side-by-side. The difference is minor, the 2m cable being slightly thicker, but this could be a huge issue for companies that are building device docks, etc. that require the user to mount their own Lightning cable into a slot that is designed specifically to fit the Apple-made cable.
In discussing this with the creators of the EverDock device dock on Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fuzdesigns/everdock-iphone-5s-5c-5-4-ipad-ipad-mini-android-d), it seems that the 2m cable housing is roughly the same as the 30-pin to Lightning adapter. So not a new size, exactly, but still different. Also, the 2m cable is thicker throughout its length, by about half a millimeter. Additional shielding, perhaps?

The Earth Dollar, A New Decentralized Economic System to Be Launched
The Earth Dollar makes Earth Day Everyday!
Geneva, April 22, 2016 (Earth Day) – A New Decentralized Living Economic System Based on the Protection of All Life on Our Planet, along with a complementary currency protected by assets named the (ED) "Earth Dollar" will be starting promotion as an Early Bird Sale on this date, "Earth Day, April 22, 2016". The inaugural launch of the Earth Dollar will be held in the Fall of 2016. During the Early Bird Sale we will be offering both digital Earth Dollar tokens, and Gold/Silver Metal Coin Medallions.
The Earth Dollar (ED tokens) perform as digital-fuel to power the new decentralized "Living Economic System", based on a modified and enhanced clone of Ethereum, which will allow Smart Contracts and decentralized applications.
Ample amounts of billions of dollars in Natural Capital Assets are being pledged already to substitute the Earth Dollar in order to restore the vitality of our planet. These assets will be evaluated and verified by the Fall of 2016 by economists and accountants using the Natural Capital Accounting System. The new complementary currency is anti-inflationary, and has zero debt. The Earth Dollar also ushers in a new post Industrial Revolution enlightened "Living Economic System", which is completely opposite of the existing 9 to 5 system.
Lord Gery Maes van de Vorst, CEO and Co-founder of the Earth Dollar says, "The Earth Dollar is the planets idealistic economic system providing a real solution of revitalizing of our planet Earth, and healing our living biospheres. What it means is that widespread use of the Earth Dollar will promote our planet with cleaner water, immaculate environment, more forests and trees, minimal catastrophic climate change, better health, more wildlife, resulting alliance of good cause cooperation, increase of happiness, more freedom, more prosperity for all, and it may even consequently restore world peace. Money, the present economic system is an invention of humans, so it can be reinvented; "we are re-inventing it and also rewriting the values attached with it."
The Earth Dollar is favored by contemporary wealth that is generated from idle, and unused physical renewable assets. The contemporary wealth comes from Mother Earth Trust's World Heritage Sanctuaries (the natural capital abetment consists of subsidizing: trees, carbon credits, fresh water, animals, plants, mineral claims, and forests). Bringing in commencing and inaugural wealth to the equation will reinvigorate the global economy. It will increase sustainable economic prosperity for everyone, including all living beings on this planet, the entire society, banks, governments, NGOs and all types of industries. Now we can truly say "Money Growth from Trees"!
The Earth Dollar is expected to increase steadily in value and to pursue flourishing for as long the trees keep on growing, and when the fresh water is clean, and the animals can burgeoning in its sanctuaries, it will bring us real wealth. However, the destruction of our biosphere has the opposite effect, so our continual prosperity is directly liaised on about how well our biosphere is doing. The rise and fall of the Earth Dollar will be a barometer of the health of Mother Earth, managed by the people instead of the industry and the politic discerning.
The new Earth Dollar is categorized as a "Living Currency" because it is designed to preserve life on this planet by liaising our economic prosperity to the health of our biosphere; the new Living Economic System will also restore our biosphere and stem the tides of damages caused by: climate destruction, pollution of fresh water, clear cutting of forest, damages to the environment, extinction of species, and war.
The Earth Dollar will transcend all international borders, cultures, nations and institutions. Since the complication of climate changes, pollutions, poverty, and depletion resource doesn't have borders, it demands coordinated efforts from the individual citizens of the world. Extensive far-reaching adoption of the Earth Dollar "Living Currency" also creates a paradigm shift in consciousness from me to we.
The Earth Dollar uses the technology of cryptocurrency like bitcoin, but takes it one step further by integrating cryptocurrencies, with the convenience of existing traditional fiat currencies with abetments of physical assets. The Earth Dollar will allow transactions by P2P, paper, credit cards, debit cards, checks and by secured accounts.
Other local currencies, such as Berkshares, Bristol Pound, and Canadian Tire has been introduced very successfully, which fulfill specific needs. The Earth Dollar array's in fighting catastrophic climate changes, preserving life on our planet and delivering economic equitable prosperity to all. It may even help us regain our humanitarian connection with our natural environment.

Earlier, Ferrara hinted during an appearance on "The Wendy Williams Show" that a deal for the "Entourage" film adaptation would be happening soon.
"It's looking good. It's looking real good. It could be closed today," he told host Wendy Williams. "I could go look at my phone right now, and it's done. It's real close. We're hoping to shoot in January."
Speculation had been rampant that the film -- which had a script given the green light in January -- was held up by contentious dealmaking from some of the cast members, who wanted a deal similar to the lucrative one Piven secured.
But, based on those tweets, that seems to have been worked out. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the holdouts in the dealmaking process -- Ferrara, Grenier, Kevin Dillion and Kevin Connolly -- are "on the verge" of signing on.
Tell us: Are you glad the "Entourage" movie is moving forward?

The weirdest thing happened. I woke up this morning from a dream in which I was writing a blog on 1UP centered on this particular topic. That made me really want to write said blog. Then again, maybe it means I already unconsciously wanted to write a blog so much that the desire manifested itself in the form of a dream. Sounds pretty logical. Either way, here I am.
So it's been like 2 months since I've posted a real blog. A little under 2 if you count my E3 Reactions blog, but that was just a quick gut-reaction piece. This one will be more substantial, but it'll only be a little bit gaming related (PAX and what I've been playing).
Why so long?
Well, it's a mix of me being busy with all sorts of other stuff and me being unfortunately crippled with a broken foot. Long story short, on the 4th of July I was at a pool party. I decided to jump into the pool at a spot from which I had never jumped before. The reason I'd never jumped from there is because it was on the shallow end near the steps. I reasoned a long time ago that jumping in from that spot might hurt and break something. I was right. I forgot about that for a split-second, impulsively jumped in without considering what I was doing, and sure enough felt incredible pain as the left part of my left foot folded underneath itself. Yeah, feet normally don't fold like that so I knew it wasn't good.
My sister (a nurse) and her husband thought it was just a severe sprain and told me to walk it off. My brother-in-law even grabbed my foot, squeezed it and twisted it a little to help keep it loose not knowing IT WAS BROKEN (no wonder the squeezing and twisting hurt like a bitch). I ended up walking around with a huge swollen left foot for two days before my dad x-rayed me at his work place and the doctor diagnosed me with a broken fifth metatarsal (the pinky bone of the foot). It will most likely heal by itself, but there is a small chance I'll need surgery. Either way I will walk normally again, just maybe not till sometime in September assuming it does heal completely. It just really sucks that my summer has essentially been cut in half now that I can't go swimming, tubing, or even venture out to the beach anytime soon.
Wait…September? OMG PAX!!!
Shit, PAX is at the beginning of September! I'm walking around in a medical boot which means I'll still be able to attend PAX, but if I'm not out of it by then I won't be moving around very fast and will exhaust quickly because walking in this thing sucks. Even if I do get out of it around the time of PAX I'll probably still wear out fast because my left leg and ankle have already gotten weak from the limited use they've gotten. More importantly, both scenarios mean I won't be able to show off my style and class in any Dance Central competitionsL
Being fairly immobile means more time for games and writing, right?
Sort of. I do have more time for games because I can't exercise and I work from home twice a week now (which means two days a week I don't have to spend an hour driving to and from work combined), but until this past week I hadn't really taken advantage of this time from a gamer's perspective.
Before the injury, I was gaming like crazy, juggling Just Cause 2 (OMFG I loved that game), Bad Company 2 (haven't played multiplayer yet but enjoyed single-player), and Red Dead Redemption (only single-player, no one was ever on for multiplayer when I was playing). Since the injury I bought and completed Deathspank (loved it) and had a 4-player co-op Lost Planet 2 LAN at my apartment last weekend, but I'd spent way more time watching Dr. Who, Torchwood, South Park, The Dresden Files and a few other shows on Netflix and less time gaming than I initially thought I would. I'm usually extremely fidgety and can't sit still for long (ask anyone who's sat on a couch with me…), so being fairly immobilized made me depressed, which in turn drained me of any desire to fidget, which made me want to sit on a couch and do nothing all day, which then made me even more depressed…etc (it's a vicious cycle).
I finally got out of the funk about a week ago and started wandering around my apartment and going to stores more often though. That put me in a better mood, and before I knew it I found myself hosting small 3 person Gears of War horde LANs on 7 out of 9 days. That's a lot of Gears. I'm still not as mobile as a completely able-bodied person, but I've gotten better and am thankfully not all sad and depressed anymore.
Colorado and the Stanley Hotel
One bright spot this past July was my trip to Estes Park, Colorado to participate as a groomsman in my best friend's wedding. He's an Xbox hardware engineer so there ya go, gaming connection. I got to spend a few nights in one of the most haunted hotels in America (some interesting things happened but nothing serious), explore Colorado a bit and even ride around in a limo for the first time in my life. Luckily, my lack of normal mobility didn't hinder my good times much.
Next up, PAX!!!
I have absolutely nothing interesting planned for August and am still walking around (in a boot) on a broken bone so there's nothing to look forward to over the next few weeks, but at least I've got PAX on the horizon! Unless something major happens and I need surgery I'll definitely be there. I hope to run into some of you guys there too! I already had the pleasure of meeting several 1UP editors last year, so maybe I'll add a few more to the list as well as the occasional user/blogger. Say hi if you see me! If I'm still a half cripple at least I'll be easy to spot and catch up to; just look for the guy limping aroundJ
K, <3 you guys, bye.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House voted Tuesday to reject the cloning of human embryos for scientific research, casting Congress' first votes on the divisive ethical issue after hours of emotional debate.
The 249-178 vote killed an amendment to allow the limited creation of cloned embryos exclusively for research. It put the House in a position to pass an outright ban on all human cloning.
The voting capped a day of debate in which House members plunged into the ethics of biotechnology.
"This is about providing moral leadership for a watching world," said Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. "Allowing the creation of cloned embryos by law would enable anyone to attempt to clone a human being."
The rejected amendment was to a bill by Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla., and Bart Stupak, D-Mich., to ban all human cloning. The Bush administration supports the total ban.
But Reps. Jim Greenwood and Peter Deutsch, D-Fla., said their alternative to permit the cloning of embryos for research could point the way to cures for Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's and other diseases.

Handling of complex tasks with make
Developers, LaTeX users, and system administrators can all harness the power of make.
Anyone who has compiled a program from the source code will be familiar with the make tool, the central part of the configure, make, make install three-card trick for building and installing software on Linux. This is not the only situation in which make provides useful service. Make can also assist with other tasks, for example, in larger projects, LaTeX users can use make to automatically recompile and create a Postscript or PDF document if one or multiple source files have changed. Make also helps sysadmins, and it can automatically launch a backup script if you have modified one or more files. A control file, makefile, describes the chores you want make to handle. After setting up the makefile, you can simply call make – and let it do all the work.

Quick History: Marimekko
Although people liked the new patterns, no one was buying, since they weren't sure how to actually use them. Armi hired her friend, the clothing designer Ritta Immonen, to create simple clothes out of the fabrics. The collection was an enormous success, and though Immonen left shortly after to return to her own projects, other new designers continued to inspire their female customers with modern, clean-cut, easy clothing.
Marimekko — whose name contains an anagram of Armi and 'mekko,' the Finnish word for 'dress' — was at the vanguard of mid-century lifestyle revolutions: the sexual revolution and what we can call the 'casual revolution,' when white-glove luncheons gave way to backyard barbecues. Marimekko presented clothes to be worn without a corset or hose — sometimes even without shoes! Though Marimekko dresses and textiles were gaining traction in America throughout the 1950s, the company's popularity exploded in 1960, when Jackie Kennedy bought six Marimekko dresses for the campaign trail and wore one on the cover of Sports Illustrated (image 3).
In its informality and its flouting of European tradition, Marimekko fit neatly into 20th-century Scandinavian design in general. Scandinavian design is characterized by simplicity and practicality, clean lines and hygiene, bright colors, references to nature, and, fundamentally, the idea that things must be easy and comfortable for all people to use, including children. Marimekko embodied these traits not only in their designs but even in their marketing. The famous Marimekko spread in Life magazine in 1966 situated the designs — and the women wearing them — within the Scandinavian landscape of birch trees, crystalline lakes and rustic farmland (images 1, 4-7). The models, naked, in bikinis, or wearing loose Marimekko frocks, embody an innocent, happy sensuality that could be read like a creation myth for both Woodstock and Carnaby Street.
Although Marimekko became known as a clothing company, it was still fundamentally a textile producer. The first to introduce Americans to Marimekko textiles as furnishing fabrics was Ben Thompson, an architect and Harvard professor who opened a design store in the 1950s called Design Research. He sold Marimekko textiles starting in 1959, and expanded his stores during the '60s to Philadelphia, San Francisco and New York (image 9). In 1966, Crate and Barrel founder Gordon Segal, visited Design Research for the first time and organized his own business plan around Thompson's paradigm. Crate and Barrel also began buying Marimekko fabric wholesale from Design Research, and using them in upholstery and other designs.
Armi Ratia died in 1979, and the company endured a decade of shaky ground, facing bankruptcy. In 1991, Kirsti Paakkanen, a former advertising executive, bought the company, and is credited with reinvigorating the brand and creating its current successes. Staffed by talented young designers, Marimekko is now run by its first male president and CEO, Mika Ihamuotila, who took over in 2008. They continue to produce new patterns and have expanded into more decorative goods including tablewares (image 10) and wallpaper. (Images: 1, 4-7 Tony Vaccaro for Life Magazine, 1966, via solothais.com; 2 & 8 zavodbig.com; 3 David Drew Zingg for Sports Illustrated's December 26, 1960 cover; 9 Thisisluster.com; 10 via AlwaysMod, the Marimekko blog) Sources: For more information on the company, I recommend the book Marimekko: Fabrics, Fashion, Architecture by Marianne Aav, a book that accompanied a fabulous 2004 exhibition at the Bard Graduate Center. The co-owner of Design Research, Jane Thompson, recently co-wrote a book about the iconic store, Design Research: The Store That Brought Modern Living to American Homes. RELATED STORIES:

More than 60 percent of adults in England are overweight or obese, according to new figures by the national public health agency.
The figures were released Tuesday. Experts have previously predicted England's increasing obesity epidemic could mean half its population will be obese by 2030. People who are heavy have a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
To fight bulging waistlines in Stoke-on-Trent in the West Midlands, authorities are trying a new approach. Overweight people can sign up to get frequent text messages encouraging them to move more and eat less.
One text says "Maybe walk to the shops or use the stairs more often." Officials described it as a "cheap and effective nudge" to take action before obese people need expensive medical attention.

Password's Progress
If you want an example of evolution in action, look at the GNU/Linux password system. Although it includes the basic UNIX password structure as a vestigial organ, natural selection in the form of crackers has forced the evolution of shadow passwords, the MD5 algorithm and PAM. Passwords have even found new niches in the form of boot managers, remote login formats and advanced security systems. All these tools are used daily, but by taking a closer look at them, you can use them to make your system a little more secure.
Back in the Jurassic days of the 1970s, the standard UNIX password structure appeared. Nowadays, many users access it graphically through gdm, otherwise its structure hasn't changed much. To log in to an account, users enter a password of up to eight characters (it was six or seven in the past), and the password is encrypted into a key using the DES (data encryption standard) algorithm. This key is stored in the second column /etc/passwd, where any user can view it.
What has changed is the competition. Nowadays, the DES algorithm can be cracked in seconds. And, to make matters worse, there's little choice in the standard structure except to store the key for each password in a public place, where any intruder can find it. The alternative is to place severe restrictions on ordinary users and prevent them from using basic commands like ls -l. Although some security experts would be happy with a computer that was turned off and left in a lead-lined vault several miles beneath the surface of the earth, these restrictions are largely unacceptable.
By the mid-1990s, with the Internet's popularity giving crackers more opportunities, the competition was becoming intense. Because of this pressure, defenses began to evolve. At first available only as add-ons, by the dawn of modern times in the late nineties, these defenses were in symbiotic relations with each other and were standard parts of every distribution.
Shadow passwords get their name because they are the hidden counterparts of basic passwords. The difference is that, instead of being native to a public file like /etc/passwd, their habitat is the second column of /etc/shadow, a file readable only by the root user. If no password is set for an account, the column is marked by an asterisk or an exclamation mark, depending on the distribution. Only an "x" in the password column of /etc/passwd is left to mark their passage.
Since shadow passwords have been standard, manual configuration has all but disappeared. All the same, shadow passwords generally come with a toolset. pwconv and grpconv keep user and group entries in /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd in sync, but this housekeeping is generally done automatically when a password is created for the account. Similarly, pwunconv and grpunconv allow the creation of regular passwords, but few modern systems ever require this devolution. About the only useful shadow password tool is Debian's shadowconfig, whose on-and-off options can tell you quickly whether shadow passwords are enabled.
Another evolutionary dead end is the set of additional columns in /etc/shadow. Superficially, these columns promise extra control over when passwords are changed, when warnings of the need to change are given and when an account is disabled if its password is not changed. These columns could be a major survival trait. Unfortunately, they have to be entered individually for each user. More importantly, they must be entered in days since January 1, 1970. This measurement is so cumbersome to calculate that many system administrators leave most of the columns blank and fill the rest with impossibly large numbers so they can ignore them.
Another adaptation of the basic password structure is the use of the MD5 encryption algorithm. MD5 is the latest in an evolutionary line of algorithms developed by Ronald Rivest, an MIT professor and a founder of RSA Security, the dominant company in encryption for over a decade. It is a descendant of MD2, an algorithm optimized for 8-bit machines, and a modification of MD4, an algorithm for 32-bit machines that Rivest and his collaborators felt was rushed into release. First released to the public domain in 1991, MD5 was further modified in 1994.
Today, MD5 remains a standard in authentication, even though Rivest insists that it was never intended for that use. More elaborate algorithms have been developed in recent years, such as IDEA, Skipjack or Bowfish, but none has been proven to outperform MD5 consistently enough to replace it.
MD5 became available as an add-on for GNU/Linux in the mid-nineties and is a now a standard part of most distributions. From a security perspective, the advantages of MD5 over the DES used in the standard password structure is that it allows for longer passwords and provides more sophisticated encryption. When MD5 is enabled, passwords of up to 256 characters are possible. Regardless of the password's actual length, MD5 passes it through four rounds of encryption to create a 256-character key. Since this process is not reversible (at least, not without considerable effort), MD5 is classified as a "one-way hash".
MD5 is an option during the installation of every major distribution. Although MD5 can create problems with network information systems on most modern workstations or networks, there is no reason not to use it. If you are unsure whether MD5 is enabled, check whether the password column in /etc/shadow starts with $1$, or search the files in /etc/pam.d for lines that end in "md5". If it isn't, locating the necessary files and reconfiguring the system is time-consuming enough that a new user might be tempted to upgrade or re-install instead.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Game 30 Thread - Dempster vs. DelgadoSubmitted by Rob G. on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 6:42pm
Ryan Dempster, he of a 0.95 ERA on the season, goes tonight in search of his first win in his last 13 starts. That win was versus the Nationals last year on August 11th. It's his 5th start of this season and he hasn't given up an earned run in 14.1 straight innings.

In 2013, rumors about Apple-branded TV set were circulating day by day, but after some point, the spike just flattened out. Well, now we have a reason worth believing: Brian Blair, an analyst at Rosenblatt Securities, has told Business Insider that Apple indeed had plans to release their own standalone television set, but it was shelved in the mid-2013.
apple tv
One of the most discussed bugs with Netflix on Apple TV popped up this March, when Dolby Digital 5.1 audio output suddenly stopped working, after the Apple TV 6.1 update. It ruined the whole Netflix experience for many, because the speakers are returning only stereo audio which beats the whole purpose of the multi-speaker setup.
No one really knows how Apple chooses which of the keynotes they'll be streaming live and which not. I still remember tuning into the live blogging articles on various tech blogs for iPhone 5S and iPad Air launches. 6 months later, Apple announced that they'll be broadcasting the WWDC 2014 keynote live for everyone. You can find the announcement on their website with the image above and a prompt on some "exciting announcements".
It's been hardly a month after HBO and Amazon announced their partnership and it has already born its first fruit: HBO is bringing some of its popular TV shows to Amazon Prime Instant Video for unlimited streaming and at no extra cost. This way, Apple TV owners that don't have HBO subscription will be able to watch selected HBO content on their big screens.
Despite recording a considerable loss in revenue last year and announcing a price hike for new US customers, Netflix still seems to be exited about invading new territories. Though hinted earlier about the expansion to more European countries, it was yesterday that the video streaming giant revealed the specifics. Well, most of the specifics.
Though official announcements are yet to arrive, it is almost certain that Apple has made its largest acquisition yet, in the form of Beats Electronics, for a staggering $3.2 billion. Things are taking some interesting turns here for Apple TV fans, as Steve Jobs' biographer, Walter Isaacson claims that the Beats acquisition is focused on video content streaming and the ultimate Apple TV experience, more than anything else.

Nice day today. closed stronger than I thought. I am sure there are many here who follow coal and mineral stocks. For the year they are in the crapper as is Joy. In the ceo's appearance on cramer back in the spring when JOY was 90 he was asked with the decline in coal demand ? He said equipment order impact was negligible. I think that has turned out to be a lie, but I honestly do not know the particulars., but he did not exactly raise his credibility.Iron ore is having a bit of a rebound, but having a bad year. So right now you buy on faith things can turn around, which probably depends more than anything else on China,which I doubt many really understand or know. the whole GE thing is questionable. GE buys companies for two reasons. First they perceive they are undervalued and expect growth in the area. Could be the case here. They will also buy companies they believe are not well managed or that they can financially engineer to realize greater value. Could be the case here. So you have to hope for a turn around in mining for Joy to do well and that is based on hope, not what I am really seeing in other sector using the equipement. there were some positive numbers on China coal imports today, but I have also read they have huge stockpiles. Got me here. I am long but will sell on appropriate news.
Long term holder here. Trade around a core position. Thinking about trimming position close to 60. Can see GE doing something with JOY like buying for underground fit and selling off the above ground piece. But fact that market really hasn't favorably reacted to the news tells me chances are very slim. Think CHINA is the single driving factor in driving this stock in the short term...and that's not looking promising. Think we see the low 50's before the low 60's.

Man sentenced for car chase after robbing Summit Township bank
A Cleveland man who is charged with robbing a Summit Township bank in March, then leading police on a nearly 50-mile car chase, has been sentenced for the chase.
Lake County Common Pleas Court Judge Joseph Gibson on Wednesday sentenced Terrance Williams, 30, to two years in prison, according to the Willoughby News-Herald.
Williams pleaded guilty to the third-degree felony of fleeing and eluding, and fourth-degree felony of attempted vehicular assault.
Williams is accused of robbing First National Bank at 6960 Peach St. on March 5 and fleeing the scene in a white vehicle. Police spotted him traveling on Interstate 90 and a chase ensued.
The chase ended in Lake County, Ohio, where Williams collided with another vehicle.
Williams awaits a preliminary hearing on charges related to the bank robbery, including robbery, aggravated assault and making terroristic threats.

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
English: The Bell Telephone Laboratories complex was built in stages between 1960 and 1934 for Western Electric, becoming Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1925. Bell Labs left in 1966, and in 1968-1970 it was converted into artists housing and an arts center, the Westbeth Complex. The conversion was overseen by noted architect Richard Meier.

BETHESDA, Md. - Standing in the rough at the bottom of a steep slope behind the sixth green, Tiger Woods was getting perilously close to missing the cut in his own tournament. He needed a terrific shot just to have a chance for a bogey that would put him nine shots behind the leader.
Sure enough, he hit one. The ball landed 6 feet from the hole. "Pure luck," he called it, but it was the turning point of his round. Using his weighted-down putter, he made bogey and went on a roll. He gained shots on his next three holes, a birdie-birdie-birdie finish to a 4-under round of 66, matching Mike Weir for the best score of the day.
Palmer Out
Amarillo's Ryan Palmer carded a 5-over 75 in Friday's second round of the inaugural AT&T National, but he won't be playing in today's third round. He missed the cut by five strokes. Palmer had a 4-over 74 in the first round.
Woods was 1 under at the halfway point of the AT&T National on Friday, tied for 12th but with a lot of work still to do in his inaugural event as a tournament host. Stuart Appleby and K.J. Choi shared the lead, both having somewhat tamed the Blue Course at Congressional Country Club with rounds of 66 and 67 for a 7-under total of 133.
"I'm back in the tournament," Woods said. "And hopefully I can shoot another round in the 60s tomorrow and move my way up the board."
The turnaround from Woods' miserable 73 on Thursday was stark. He made only two bogeys instead of seven. He needed only 25 putts instead of 34. He didn't have a single three-putt. He made six putts longer than 8 feet - including a 22-footer at No. 12 - after missing everything from 8 feet and beyond the day before.
His secret? He put some lead tape on his putter, forcing him to put more oomph in his stroke after leaving so many putts short well short of the hole the day before.
"Made it a little bit heavier," Woods said, "because the greens were a touch on the slow side."
The putter was in the bag, though, when Woods was in trouble at the long par-4 sixth, a hole that plays as a par 5 for the club's members. He had to lay up after putting his tee shot in the heavy rough, then botched his third shot by hitting the ball over the green.
Then he bailed himself out with the flop shot to 6 feet.
