The latest depressing revelations about the Senate make it clear that the institution cannot continue in its present form. The vast majority of Canadians now agree that reform or abolition of the Canadian Senate is overdue. It is time to bring the people of Canada into the centre of the process and directly consult Canadians on any proposal for constitutional reform through a consultative referendum.
This isn't good for our personal or our collective health, Québec, and it needs to stop. Sometimes, we need to have these hard conversations. Sometimes, we need to be ready to put our minds together to envision how we want our communities to evolve. Sometimes, we need to conquer bad memories and try talking once more.
Crimea is a pity, and likely victimized by Moscow pressure, but the reality is that Ukraine is a failed state without a government, a constitution that can be enforced, an army that can be called upon to defend its people or an economy. If I lived in Crimea I'd vote for the devil I know (Moscow) rather than the devils to come (Kiev).
Despite the very tangible political or economic benefits it could bring, Russia never considered peacefully ceding any of its remaining territorial holdings to its neighbours. During the 1998 financial crisis for example, President Boris Yeltsin never thought of selling the sparsely populated, almost vestigial property of Sakhalin Island in the north Pacific to a cash-rich, land-poor Japan, even as Russia desperately needed hard currency to prop up a crashing ruble. If and when Crimea votes to leave Ukraine for Russia, Western economic sanctions will surely follow if Russia happily embraces the peninsula.
Russia is home to the biggest Ukrainian diaspora in the world, an estimated 20 million or so persons of Ukrainian descent live there. The Russian minority in Ukraine is estimated to be as high as 40 per cent of its 45 million population. Frankly, if a division along EU versus Russia lines exist the country as now constituted is untenable.
TransLink -- everyone's favourite whipping boy in the Lower Mainland -- is about to be put to the electoral test and it promises not to be pretty. The fate of TransLink's future funding will be decided in the midst of the introduction of the Compass card, and Lower Mainland residents know full well how that initiative has been going as of late. It doesn't bode well for the vote.
Constitutional reform is entirely legitimate in the life of a vibrant democracy. The Canadian Senate either needs serious reform or it should be abolished, and this requires changes to our Constitution. In refusing to engage the people in constitutional reform, our leaders forget that the Constitution belongs to the people of Canada, not to the federal and provincial governments.
We've written a law, called the Sensible Policing Act, which has already been approved by Elections BC. This law will make a first step towards legalization, by stopping arrests for marijuana possession, and focusing police resources on fighting real crime. This campaign does not rely on the whims of politicians. We can do this ourselves, with people power. But it isn't easy to get on the ballot so that we can have a marijuana referendum. We will need to collect over half a million signatures, from registered voters all across B.C., just like they did to stop the HST.
Although we can all agree that marijuana prohibition has failed, there is not full agreement on how exactly to legalize and regulate it. We still have to answer some important questions. Should people be allowed to grow their own marijuana? If so, how much? Should marijuana be sold in stores? What kinds of taxes should there be? Should there be taxes on medical marijuana products? What about extracts and foods? What is the best age limit? Before we can put a legalized system in place, we need to have the answers to these kinds of questions.

'I make movies for the joy of making films'
By Express Features
Published: 13th November 2012 12:41 PM
Last Updated: 13th November 2012 12:41 PM
An FTII-Pune product, Rajat has three National Awards - a 26-minute non-feature documentary 'Tarana', a short film 'Hypnothesis' and 'Raghu Romeo' in Best Feature Film in Hindi section, to his credit. After directing offbeat films like 'Raghu Romeo', 'Mixed Doubles', 'Mithya' and the recently released 'Fatso', this talented actor-director is busy with his next directorial venture 'Aakhon Dekhi'. Besides, he is busy staging an 80-minute monologue Nothing like Lear which he has written and directed, in various parts of the country.
Nothing like Lear
Well I had done Hamlet three years back and it was time to do another play...so Lear it was. Also about a year and a half back I had directed a 20 minute piece based on Lear. That worked quite well, so we carried the same idea forward - to interpret Lear with just one actor. The experience has been great so far. We are still growing with the play; getting better with each show. We have done over 30 shows in the last 7 to 8 months and the response has been terrific.
My World of Theatre
It's very funny...I was always a film person. By the time I was 15, I was sure I wanted to be a filmmaker. An avid film buff, I had seen all kinds of film. Theatre was nowhere in the horizon till I was 20. I had no interest in it...I hadn't even watched many plays. Quite by chance I discovered a theatre group in Alliance Francaise, Delhi, where I had joined up for French classes. And I was hooked for life. After two years of theatre do Poche, as the group was called, we made another group called Chingari. Chingari's first play was Girish Karnad's Tughlaq. Next year, when I was 24, I directed my first play called Firebugs, written by Swiss playwright Max Frisch. One of the actors in that play, believe it or not, was Atul Kumar. And now he performs Nothing like Lear in Hyderabad. It's been a long journey we have been together.
Bollywood Debut
Naseeruddin Shah had seen me on stage (I think in Waiting for Godot) and suggested my name to Mira Nair for Monsoon Wedding. Around the same time, I think Farhan had seen me in an ad on TV and called me to audition for Dil Chahta Hai. Both films happened at the same time.
Bollywood Today
I would not know... I mean beyond the obvious that everyone knows. I am just grateful that I am able to make the films that I want to make, however hard it may be, but at least every couple of years I am able to make a film. In an alternate universe I would have died at the age of 70 having made one unreleased film, I am glad that is not the case in the present universe. Of course things could be a lot better, but I am not the one to complain about how bad things are.
Independent Cinema
Well it's like a cycle. I think the change in Bollywood came over around 2004-2005. A few years after that were very good for independent cinema. Things changed for the worse in 2009. Mainstream cinema made a huge comeback almost wiping out all the advantage that independent cinema had gained. The phase of independent filmmakers is fading now. The kind of films that we make and the kind they want us to make are very different. This year, we may have made a little comeback, but it is too little. Hopefully 2013 will change it all!
Intelligent Films or Box-office hits
Intelligent cinema any day. Whether a film does well or not doesn't matter. What matters to me is if it's a good film. I make movies for the joy of making films; of sharing a vision so it doesn't matter how many people watch it. It is a lot like a person who sings for the joy of singing; and when that vision helps me connect with people, it's a great feeling.
Upcoming Projects
Well there is first time filmmaker Sharat Katariya's 10 ML Love that would come out in December. It is a comedy based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. The film stars Purab Kohli, Neil Bhoopalam, Koel Puri and Tisca Copra who plays my wife. Next is Deepa Mehta's Midnight's Children where I portray the character of Aadam Aziz. I have finished shooting my new directorial venture Ankhon Dekhi which will come out sometime in the second half of 2013. I am very excited about this film as it is the first time that I have shot a film outside Mumbai. Delhi is where I grew up in a very middle class family. This is exactly where we shot it, in 'Chandni Chowk'.

High tungsten prices spark interest in site
High tungsten prices and a growing demand for the metal are leading a company to consider opening a second mine in the North.
North American Tungsten Corp. has announced that they are conducting a full feasibility study of their Mactung property. The site is located near the border between the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
New nanotechnology has developed that can make the brittle metal more malleable so it can be used in some cases to replace lead, Leahy said. Tungsten is also non-toxic.

Kernel Korner - Using DMA
DMA stands for direct memory access and refers to the ability of devices or other entities in a computing system to modify main memory contents without going through the CPU. The desirability of DMA lies in not troubling the CPU; the system simply can request that the data be fetched into a particular memory region and continue with other tasks until the data is ready. Most of the problems in DMA, however, are due to the lack of CPU involvement.
The problems with DMA are threefold. First, the CPU probably is operating a memory management unit. Therefore, the address the CPU uses to describe the memory region is not the same as the physical address of main memory. Second, because the transfer is to main memory, the caches between that memory and the CPU probably are not coherent (see "Understanding Caching", LJ, January 2004. Third, there also may be a memory management unit on the I/O bus (called an IOMMU). This means the bus address the device uses to transfer the data may not be the same as the physical memory address or the CPU's virtual memory address. This concept is alien to most x86 people. Even here, though, the use of GARTs (graphical aperture remapping tables) for the AGP bus is making the x86 refusal of IOMMUs less strong than it once was.
The API that manages DMA in the Linux kernel must take into account and solve all three of these problems. In addition, because most DMA is done from devices on an external bus, three additional problems may occur. First, the I/O device addressing width may be different from the address width of physical memory. For instance, an ISA device is limited to addressing 24 bits, and some PCI devices in 64-bit systems are limited to addressing 32 bits. Second, the I/O bus controller circuitry itself may cache requests. This occurs mainly on the PCI bus, where write requests may be held in the PCI controller in the hope that it may accumulate them for rapid transfer to the device. This phenomenon is called PCI posting. Third, the operating system may request a transfer to a region that is contiguous in its virtual memory space but fragmented in the memory's physical space, usually because the requested transfer crosses multiple pages. Such a transfer must be accomplished using scatter/gather (SG) lists.
This article deals strictly with the DMA API for devices. The new generic device model in Linux 2.6 provides a nice way of describing device characteristics and finding their bus properties using a hierarchical tree. The interfaces described have undergone considerable revision in the transition from 2.4 to 2.6. Although the general principles of this article apply to 2.4, the API described and the kernel capabilities apply only to the 2.6 kernel.
For any DMA transfer, the first problem to consider is the user may request a large transfer (kilobytes to megabytes) to a given buffer. Because of the way virtual memory is managed, however, this area, which is contiguous in virtual space, may be composed of a sequence of pages fragmented all over physical memory. Linux expects that any transfer above a page size (4KB on an x86 system) needs to be described by an SG list. Ordinarily, these lists are constructed by the block I/O (BIO) layer. A key job of the device driver is to parameterize the BIO layer in the way it may divide up the I/O into SG list elements.
Almost every device that transfers large amounts of data is designed to accept these transfers as some form of SG list. Although the exact form of this list is likely to differ from the one supplied by the kernel, conversion usually is trivial.
An IOMMU is a memory management unit that goes between the I/O bus (or hierarchy of buses) and the main memory. This MMU is separate from the IOMMU built in to the CPU. In order to effect a transfer from the device to main memory, the IOMMU must be programmed with the address translations for the transfer in almost exactly the same way as the CPU's MMU would be programmed. One of the advantages of doing this is an SG list generated by the BIO layer can be programmed into the IOMMU such that the memory region appears to be contiguous again to the device on the bus.
A GART basically is like a simple IOMMU. It consists of a window in physical memory and a list of pages. Its job is to remap physical addresses in the window to physical pages in the list. The window typically is narrow, only about 128MB or so, and any accesses to physical memory outside this window are not remapped. This insufficiency exposes a weakness in the way the Linux kernel currently handles DMA: none of the DMA APIs have a failure return for failing to map the memory. A GART has a limited amount of remapping space, however, and once that is exhausted nothing may be mapped until some I/O completes and frees up mapping space.
Sometimes, like a GART, an IOMMU may be programmed not to do address remapping between the I/O bus and the memory in certain windows. This is called bypass mode and may not be possible for all types of IOMMU. Bypass mode is desirable sometimes, because the act of remapping adds a performance hit to the transfer, so lifting the IOMMU out of the way can achieve an increase in throughput.
The BIO layer, however, assumes that if an IOMMU is present, it is being used, and it calculates the space needed for the device SG list accordingly. Currently, no way exists to inform the BIO layer that the device wishes to bypass the IOMMU. A problem occurs if the BIO layer assumes the presence of an IOMMU; it also assumes SG entries are being coalesced by the IOMMU. Thus, if the device driver decides to bypass the IOMMU, it may find itself with more SG entries than the device allows.
Both of these issues are being worked on in the 2.6 kernel. A fix for the IOMMU bypass already is under consideration and will be invisible to driver writers, because the platform code will choose when to do the bypass. The fix for the inability to map probably will consist of making the mapping APIs return failure. Because this fix affects every DMA driver in the system, implementing it is going to be slow.

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

"After the trial, I found out...[one juror] was the father of a Manitowoc County Sheriff's deputy," the dismissed juror, Richard Mahler, says. "Another juror, his wife works for the Manitowoc County Clerk's Office."
He adds: "I thought to myself, they shouldn't have been on the jury. That was a conflict of interest."
Mahler was ultimately excused from the trial after his daughter got into a car accident, but not before he spent more than four hours deliberating with the jury. Early on, the jurors took a vote: seven innocent, three guilty and two undecided.
Mahler still doesn't know how the jury ultimately ended up voting to unanimously convict Avery of murder. "I think about that every day," he says.
The Story Behind the Story – What Netflix's Making a Murderer Didn't Tell You
Dismissed Juror: 'He Seemed Like He Was Honestly Innocent'Making a Murderer examines the twist-filled case of Avery, a Wisconsin man who was released from prison after being exonerated for sexual assault only to be arrested again and convicted for the murder of Teresa Halbach, a young photographer.
Avery has maintained his innocence and claims that he was framed in retribution for filing a $36 million lawsuit against Manitowoc County and authorities.
For his part, Mahler believes Avery is innocent and wishes that he'd stayed on the jury.
"He seemed like he had a good head on his shoulders," says Mahler, who watched Avery closely throughout the trial. "He just sat there and listened contently. I didn't see him once or hardly at all put his head down like, 'Poor me.' He seemed like he was honestly innocent."
After the trial ended, Mahler met up with another juror to go to a concert. While there, he asked the man why the jury had come up with a guilty verdict. "And his statement was, 'Just think of all those things he did when he was younger,' " says Mahler. "I thought to myself, 'Are you serious?'
"This trial was supposed to be based on the evidence that was presented to us," he continues. "You're telling us that you convicted him based on what he did when he was younger. I did a lot of bad things when I was younger. That doesn't mean I deserve to be locked up for life."
Adds Mahler: "Since the trial ended, I've had a hard time sleeping over it because of that feeling of innocence. I keep going over and over it. It's still in the back of my head. What if I would've stayed?"

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is just 10 days away and teams are under the gun to make that big move that will help their pennant pursuits. The National League team perhaps in most need of a deal is the defending National League champion Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies pulled off a massive deal in the offseason to acquire Roy Halladay, but the work is not done. The Phillies are in need of a starting pitcher, but what other trades should the Phillies consider that will help them close the gap in the National League?
MLB Trade Rumors: 10 Trades the Philadelphia Phillies Should Consider
By Jon Star ,
Rumors broke this morning on ESPN.com that the Phillies are seriously working on a major deal for a starting pitcher. Roy Oswalt was the first name to come to mind. Oswalt would give the Phillies a power-pitching tandem alongside Roy Halladay and give the Phillies arguably the best one-two punch in the National League East. The price tag may be one sticking point. Oswalt is owed roughly $20 million through the end of next season. That is a steep price for a pitcher that could command top prospects from the Astros. Whether the Phillies can negotiate taking on salary in exchange for lesser prospects or vice versa could determine if this deal gets done.
Haren is another frontline starting pitcher the Phillies are reportedly interested in pursuing. Haren, like Oswalt, will not come cheaply as the Diamondbacks are not committed to dealing their top pitcher. The Phillies parted with Kyle Drabek in the Roy Halladay deal, but the D'backs will likely ask for the Phillies current top pitching prospect Phillippe Aumont who they acquired in the Cliff Lee trade. Haren is the D'backs ace, but isn't viewed as such on the open market. Perhaps strong negotiating could bring the price tag down, but the Phillies would attain a major piece to stick behind Halladay if they can pull it off.
Guthrie and his $3 million salary are likely on their way out of Baltimore. Guthrie has underachieved for the Orioles after showing up as a late-bloomer four seasons ago. Guthrie has always maintained interest from other teams because of his mid—90s fastball, but a 23-38 record since the start of 2008 has him on his last gasp in Baltimore.The good news for the Phillies is that he can be acquired on the cheap. The bad news is that he may not be the impact arm the team seeks. However, a change of scenery could prove enough for a guy with a live arm and strong velocity.
Hernandez appears to defy age. The 35-year-old right-hander continues to eat innings and do so at a high level. Hernandez went into the All-Star Break with a 6-4 record and 2.98 ERA. He's averaging 6.2 innings per start and could be a valuable piece to the back of the Phillies rotation.Hernandez is not among the first tier pitchers and may not be among the second tier pitchers, but the Nationals may put him on the market with the intention of getting back better value than anticipated. A 40-man roster arm and another young outfielder will be the Nationals target.
The Phillies need all the offense they can get, but trading away Jayson Werth, who is rumored to possibly head to Tampa Bay before the deadline, gives the Phillies a lot of flexibility heading into next season. Top prospect Dominic Brown is ready to breakout possibly right now, but trading Werth confirms that he should take the starting job next season. It's not ideal for what has been at times an inconsistent Phillies offense, but it sets the Phillies up for next season which may be the bigger goal by the end of the month.
Lilly could be one of the biggest pieces heading out of Chicago this summer if the Cubs' pains continue. Lilly is no stranger to being dealt at the deadline and could generate strong interest because of his impending free agency. Lilly is off to a rocky start at 3-8 with a 4.07 ERA, but could be had without giving up top prospects as the Cubs look to unload salary and turn the page to 2011.
Bautista is enjoying a career season as the leading home run hitter in the American League. However, his .241 batting average and lack of track record is enough to be wary of the breakout star. The Blue Jays could, however, take advantage of his career year for some help on the mound. Bautista could be optioned to fill a temporary void in the event they trade Werth but he also gives them flexibility on the hot corner.
There are numerous teams looking for infield help (or simply another bat). Ty Wigginton's name has so far been the hottest rumor on the hot stove. At .247 with 15 home runs and 46 RBI, Wigginton isn't having the most productive season. However, the remainder of his $3 million owed this season and impending free agency make him a very hot commodity.
Carmona has appeared to shake off injury concerns, which is good because there are a number of teams inquiring about him this month. Plus, Carmona is young and is under team control through 2014 at manageable prices with flexibility (he is under option years from 2012-2014). The Indians have consistently asked for the top prospect from the other team for their ace (see: CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee) so chances it will not be any different for the Phillies this time around.
Sheets had endured a underwhelming season in his return from injury, but one positive is that he is showing durability and that can take you a long way on the trade market. He is 4-9 with a 4.53 ERA. Sheets will only give a team six innings, but he is going out there every fifth day and that's more than he's done over the past few seasons. Billy Beane will likely oversell Sheets and thus push teams out of the market considering the roughly $5 million left on his contract.However, Sheets production doesn't give Beane much of a leg to stand on which could open the door for the Phillies to get him on the cheap.

Emerging evidence suggests the smoking-cessation drug varenicline is among a growing list of medications that might cause serious psychiatric adverse events.
A new analysis by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adds to evidence that varenicline might be associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior, including among patients with no psychiatric history. The results, which were published in January, follow warnings from the agency that such a link is likely, as well as label changes noting a possible risk.

Ashdown Schools Offer Home Access with eSchoolPLUS
Ashdown School District is now fully set up with a new student information system (SIS) beginning this 2013-14 school year. The SIS, called eSchoolPLUS, is 100% web-based and offers a highly efficient system for administration and management of student information such as demographics, scheduling, attendance, and grade reporting, as well as an easy communication tool between school and parents. All Arkansas public schools are administering this program through a four-phase process; Ashdown School District is part of Phase 3.
Through the Home Access Center, parents can now access their child's records (attendance, grades, progress reports), as well as check the demographics on record for accuracy. To access the website, parents should go to Internet Explorer, enter
and navigate from there. The program is not accessible with Apple products at this time. Ashdown eSchool trainer Melissa Kilgore states that letters were mailed to parents last September with details and contact information about the new system and its Home Access availability.
Teachers now use eSchooPLUS for recording and reporting grades and interim progress reports. The "bugs" are being worked out, according to Kilgore, and teachers will find it easier to transfer grades to report cards. Parents will still receive printed report cards and interim progress reports, but now also have the convenience of viewing online. Parents, especially those of secondary students, are appreciating the ability to check attendance records.
Kilgore reports that the next scheduled interim progress reports will be sent home and available for online access on Nov. 21. Anyone needing help can email at
or call the secretary at the child's school office.

Anak Tomb No. 3
|Anak Tomb No. 3
|Korean name
|Revised Romanization
Anak Tomb No. 3 is a chamber tomb of Goguryeo located in Anak, South Hwanghae, North Korea. It is known for mural paintings and an epitaph. It is part of the Complex of Goguryeo Tombs.
It was discovered in 1949 with valuable treasures having been stolen, but murals were kept in good condition.
Epitaph and its interpretation[edit]
The Anak Tomb No.3 is one of few Goguryeo tombs that have epitaphs so that their dates can be determined. Its seven-lined epitaph contains the date 357, the personal name Dong Shou (冬壽), his title, his birthplace and his age at death.[1] Accordingly, some scholars generally regard this site as the tomb of Dong Shou.[1] The inscription of Dong Shou relates that he was a general from the Xianbei state of Former Yan in Liaodong (present Liaoning), Manchuria, who fled to Goguryeo in 336 and was given a position in the former territory of the Lelang commandery.[2] While K. H. J. Gardiner and Wollyong Kim believe this to be a Chinese tomb of excellent quality, North and other South Korean scholars believe that Dong Shou was an emigre official. Moreover, the quality of these paintings and the size of the tomb indicate that it is a royal tomb of Koguryo—a theory advocated recently by Hwi-joon Ahn and Youngsook Pak.[3] Although North Korean scholars claim that it is the mausoleum of King Micheon or King Gogugwon, such theories are not considered seriously outside North Korea.
The epitaph reflects a complex situation in which Tong Shou, and Goguryeo, were put. He claimed various titles including "Minister of Lelang" and "Governor of Changli, Xuantu and Daifang." It is not clear whether these titles were given by the Eastern Jin or just self-designation. Scholars associate one of his title "Minister of Lelang" with the title "Duke of Lelang", which was bestowed on King Gogugwon by Murong Jun of the Former Yan in 354.
It is very interesting that the mural found in Anak Tomb No. 3 is identical with the mural found in Yuan Tai Ji Tomb(袁台子墓)[4]

SpringFest has returned to North Augusta with an art exhibit and camellia show.
The event, which runs through March 22, opened at the Arts & Heritage Center with a reception and awards for the art exhibit.
We had 36 artists and over 40 pieces of art entered in the competition, Andree Wallgren, executive director of the Arts & Heritage Center, said. Awards were given for Best in Show, the 2015 SpringFest poster, first through third (place) and five honorable mentions. The competition was judged by Alan MacTaggart, chairman of the art department at GRU.
Along with the art exhibit, the Arts & Heritage Center played host to the ninth Annual Camellia Show.
Were putting on our annual camellia show with mostly local blooms, John Bigger, treasurer of the Arts & Heritage Center, said. We have some that are greenhouse grown and, at this point in time, they have pretty much bloomed out. We have an amazingly large number of outdoor grown flowers that have survived snow, ice and cold weather. For the weather weve had, having 418 blooms is a tremendous turnout.
While the Camellia Show was located in North Augusta, camellia growers and enthusiasts came from around the CSRA.
We have a lot of folks in this area who bring stuff out of their yard, Bigger said. We help people identify things in their yard. Its amazing how many people in North Augusta grow camellias, whether they know it or not. There are a number of people who have bought houses with camellias in the yard. This is a mix of people from Martinez, Aiken and North Augusta. What makes camellias so popular is they bloom in the winter time. Everybody likes to see that little pop of color and camellias offer that.
SpringFest continues on Sunday with a Tea and Tour at Lookaway Inn.
The cost is $10 per adult and $5 for children younger the age of 12, with reservations required for attendance. All proceeds will benefit the Edith Jackson Alexander Scholarship. Those interested in attending may register by calling the Arts and Heritage Center at 803-441-4380.

All you hating on the lil penny posite don't know shit about design only about hype you idiots really think you know more than mark dolce you gotta be kidding me
May 16, 2014 BY Aaron Kr. / 24
It's no coincidence that Nike has had so many athlete endorsers whose popularity and selling power have transcended their respective eras. Sure, it helps that most of these names are legends in the sports world, but their ability to still move product years after their retirement is a testament to the mighty mystique of the Swoosh. Through the years, Nike has always found ways to celebrate their heritage and keep their foundational athlete roster fresh and relevant with one generation after the next.
Shoes and apparel linked to revered names like Bo Jackson, Ken Griffey Jr., Andre Agassi, and Deion Sanders continue to resonate with consumers of all ages despite the fact that these guys haven't actually played their sports in years. Of course, we all know that MJ and his universally beloved Nike Air Jordan line were the archetype from which all this has flowed, but within the Nike Basketball retro universe, there is a definite hierarchy beneath him, and there's no question that it's Penny Hardaway at the top of that pyramid.
All you hating on the lil penny posite don't know shit about design only about hype you idiots really think you know more than mark dolce you gotta be kidding me

New USC wide receivers coach Tee Martin has to like what he has seen from his young, talented group during the first two days of spring practice.
Robert Woods, arguably the top returning wide receiver in the country, has been limited because of offseason surgery on his ankle. But that hasn't stopped the wideouts from making a splash early this spring.
"Overall, I have been impressed with the way that they have been able to focus and come out and do what we have asked them to do," Tee Martin said.
Farmer was dubbed the day one MVP by head coach Lane Kiffin and Marqise Lee took the honors on day two of practice. Lee looked to be in midseason form on Thursday, running sharp routes and pulling in a pair of leaping catches that displayed his seemingly unlimited athleticism.
When asked about his leaping grab after practice, Lane Kiffin replied, "The good thing is, I don't know which one you're referring to. He makes a couple of those a day.
Kiffin then added: "Obviously he's a unique player. He's a great player – potential to be the best receiver to ever play here; you've heard me say that before."
Besides being blessed with an abundance of natural ability, great players often are willing to put in the extra work during the seemingly meaningless drills, and that was apparent as Marqise Lee and D.J. Morgan battled for the top spot during post-practice conditioning drills.
"He's a competitor man. He hasn't even tapped into how good he is going to be yet," Martin said. "That's what's freaky about it."
As Martin explained, he knew he was inheriting some of the most talented receivers in college football when he joined the USC staff, but after spending just a few weeks on campus, he has quickly realized that he has a very coachable group as well.
"That's the thing about them, George (Farmer), Marqise (Lee), Robert (Woods) and Victor (Blackwell), my whole group wants to get better," he said. "They want to come to work everyday."
More from Martin
Tee Martin on Matt Barkley:
"He's one of the best that I have been around and I have been some successful guys. He is right up there with some of the best mentally, physically and leadership-wise. Whatever you say you want your franchise quarterback to be – that's him. He's like a coach on the field out there."
Tee Martin on George Farmer:
"He's going to be a big part of our success for this upcoming season. We need for George to be a part of what we do. He has been consistent and he is learning the different positions.
"From catching the ball to knowing what to do, things that you want to get past first, he has done those things. I am going to continue to be on him and work him. He has all the talent in the world.

Historical Traveler Reviews Shamrock Hotel Hong Kong
Way only three lousy stars??? This place "rocks"!!!!
We stayed for three nights in this hotel and it is absolutely worth your money.
Staff was very friendly and helpfull. The location can hardly be any better, you are close to almost anything! The subway is a few meters/yards from the entrance, and busstops and taxistands are almost in front of the door.
The rooms are clean, and again, you have all you need. When I go to Hong Kong, I will stay in this hotel again!!!!!
Good Location
My friends and I stayed there for 4 nights in Nov 06 and prior to that, we were warned of the small room size but upon checking in, the room wasn't as bad as imagined. Compared to many other hotels in HK, the room size was considered ok, bearing in mind the fact that we had 3 people. Many other hotels don't even have proper walking space! There was enough space to open our luggages properly. My room did not have a safe though, although my friend who recommended this hotel had it in her room when she was there.
There is a full length mirror and daily papers sent everyday. The toilet has a bathtub with a standing shower in it. The location is superb as it is just next to Jordan MTR and it is in the middle of Tsimshatsui and Mongkok/Yau Ma Tei. You can actually walk the whole stretch of NAthan Road. The tv has limited channels though but overall, it is ok and just next to the hotel where you turn right, there are several restaurants serving nice dim sum.
This is definitely a place to stay if you are looking for convenience and accessibility to MTR.
Excellent Value
Hong Kong can be very expensive for a family to visit. The Shamrock was a great value. It was centrally located, the rooms were clean and the price included a full breakfast buffet. It is not a luxury hotel, but is certainly a nice place to stay. Recommended for people on a budget,
Excellent location, value for money
Have stayed in this hotel from Nov1 to Nov4.
Room & toilet size are not as small as i have expected.
Hotel staff can speak english & are always putting on a smile.
I like this hotel becos it is so near to MTR station, making it so convenient to travel anywhere.
fyi, famous Australian Diary store is just 1 to 2 streets behind.
One of the Best Hotel
My mom and I stayed in Shamrock hotel last March of this year. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. It is one of the best hotels I have stayed in Hong Kong because of its convenient location, friendly staff and a huge and clean room for twin sharing.
It has a Convenient location in a sense that the MTR station is just beside the hotel. Mc Donald's and 711 is also near the hotels location.
The Staff in this hotel are friendly and accommodating and they are willing to help you in every way they can do.
I look forward staying in this hotel for my future Hong Kong trips.
Best Choice for Budget Hotel!
Excellent choice and great accommodation experience for a 3-star hotel in HK!!! I took the feedback by tripadvisor fellow mates here and stayed 5 nights at Shamrock, it was the best accommodation that I've had in HK. Thanks for the advice here, really appreciate it.
Here are fantastic reasons for stayin at Shamrock:
1) Great location - Jordan station, exit by C1, turn right upon coming out from C1 and Shamrock is less than 2min walk away. 7-11 and eateries just at the back lanes.
2) Spacious and Clean room. Full bath amenities, the twin room I stayed even has a bathtub. Most rooms have hairdryer, if yours doesn't have you can request for it.
3) Friendly service, good housekeeping. English newspaper delivered to your room every morning.
Shamrock is definitely my choice!
Convenient and good space in Premier Room for 2 adults and 2 kids
Hotel Location - Fantastic ... just 10m from entrance to Jordan Station in Kowloon. As for shopping, walk south to go to up-market shopping centres; walk north to visit night and flea markets. Taxi-stand to airport is just 12m from hotel entrance - hotel bell service helped us bring our 3 luggages to the taxi stand.
Hotel Staff - Very proficient in English. Very helpful when asked for directions to places of interest and shopping.
Hotel Room - We stayed in Premier Room that c/w 2 double beds. Just right for the 4 of us - 2 adults and 2 kids aged 2 and 5. The room is pretty big - enough for 2 double beds, a dresser, a small TV sitting on top of a mini-fridge, a 3-seater sofa, a long coffee table and 1 round tea table c/w 2 armchairs. There is even space for the kids to run around. Only problem is that the furniture looked like from the 80s. We moved to this hotel from Disney's Hollywood Hotel. The kids did not feel any difference (they only missed the Disney channel). However, for the 2 of us - myself and my wife, we felt like moving back to Hollywood Hotel because the furnishing, quality of furniture (and mattresses) and deco felt really tired. In any case, we stayed because it is central and spacious, more spacious than the room we had at Hollywood Hotel.
Hotel Room Bathroom/Toilet - Very small. The sink didnt even have space for 4 toothbrushes and 2 tubes of toothpaste. I wonder how the bigger Americans and Europeans can fit into the W/C.
Hotel Housekeeping - Pretty prompt. At close to midnight, we asked for an extra pillow for my older girl to use as a bolster. The pillow came in 10 min. For a 3 star hotel, I graded this service as pretty good.
Hotel Food - Did not try. However, we had a good tim-sum brunch in a Chinese restaurant just 10m from the hotel main entrance. Strongly recommend anyone to try. Only setback about the restaurant is that there is no designated smoking zone - you get to enjoy delicious tim-sum and 2nd-hand smoke at the same time. However, this is probably the same every where in Hong Kong.
Great location
stayed for 2 nites. hotel is near to MTR. very convenient. staffs are helpful & kind.
the room allocated was very small though. i travelled w/ hubby & child, wish i had
change to a bigger room, but considering the length of stay, i don't bother.
overall a pleasant stay. recommended for short stay shopping spring traveller.
Love the hotel!
My cousin and I just returned from a 5 days stay in Hong Kong Shamrock Hotel! We had a wonderful time at the hotel. The room was small but it was very clean and neat! It even have a full length mirror and a small cupboard. Despite the small bathroom, they still managed to squeeze in a bath tub! The space is definitely maximised! We were on the 9th floor and had a wonderful view. I will post pictures and you can judged for yourself.
We love the location of the hotel! It is literally a corner away from Jordan MTR and Jordan was two stops away from the Ladies Night Market, one stop away from Temple Street! It is also only a few stops away from Admiralty (which made it convenient to go to Ocean Park) and Tsim Sha Tsui! We had walked to the History Museum from the hotel and it was a breezy and easy walk in the morning.
We had two card keys which was convenient! Also there is a control panel which control the electricity in the room. We don't have to get up from the bed to switch off the light! We can even click on the DO NOT DISTURB sign and it will be lighted up above our doorbell. The Make Up Room sign will light up a discreet green dot in the doorbell area. The service offered by the hotel was impressive. After a quick check-in, the staff politely informed us of the renovation works and apologised for the noise in advance. But we did not see nor hear any signs of renovation at all! If the staff had not told us, I don't think we will know! Anyway, the renovation is supposed to be done by 18th June 2006.
Also, every morning, newspapers was left at our doorstep. My cousin and I wanted to have a stress free and relaxing shopping trip so we left the hotel relatively late every day (around 11pm) yet every late afternoon or early evening, when we return to our rooms to freshen up and rest before 'attacking' the night markets, our room will be made up cleanly and nicely! All used towels and toiletories will be replaced without fail. Also messages were nicely taken down and left in an envelope under our door so we never miss any message!
When we leave the hotel, there will be someone to open the door for us! Believe me, that came in very handy when we had a lot of shopping bags with us! They are always very polite!
Am I impressed by this hotel? In one word, YES! Will I stay in the hotel when I visit HK again? Definitely! The price, location and service are an unbeatable combination!

Washington, 28 January (Argus) — A California court has rejected an effort by environmental groups to invalidate the state Air Resources Board's (ARB) carbon offset protocols for its greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program.
San Francisco Superior Court judge Ernest Goldsmith on 25 January ruled that the board had acted reasonably by creating a set of standardized offset protocols rather than issuing offsets to projects on a case-by-case basis, as the plaintiffs had sought.
The groups Citizens Climate Lobby and Our Children's Earth Foundation filed suit against the offset protocols last year, arguing that ARB's approach could allow offsets to be generated for activities that would have occurred even in the absence of the trading program. Oral arguments in the case were heard on 7 December.
Goldsmith rejected those arguments, finding that the California legislature had broadly delegated its powers to ARB to enact the program. He also found that the group's attacks on the specific offset protocols were not strong enough to overrule ARB's judgment.
Goldsmith found that the groups "have failed to demonstrate that the legislature foreclosed the use of standardized additionality mechanisms or demonstrate that [ARB] acted arbitrarily or capriciously in promulgating additionality standards."
Under the cap-and-trade program, up to 8pc of any compliance entity's obligation can be met with offsets. California Carbon Offsets have not yet been issued by ARB, though there are projects undergoing review.

Ex-Greenfield police officer fined for throwing suspect into jail cell
A former Greenfield police officer was fined $1,500 Wednesday and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service for violently throwing a woman into a jail holding cell in July.
Thomas Roszak, 30, who was suspended following the incident, resigned from the department Nov. 1. He was initially charged with felony misconduct in office but pleaded no contest Wednesday to misdemeanor battery as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Glenn Yamahiro also imposed, but suspended, a 30-day jail sentence for Roszak, meaning he could be forced to serve that aspect of the sentence if he fails to meet the other conditions within six months.
In contrast to Roszak's attorney and the prosecutor's characterization of the offense as a shove, Yamahiro, who watched video of the incident, said it was more like the victim was thrown "like a sack of potatoes," according to her attorney.
Amanda Luke, 30, of Oak Creek had been arrested on charges of driving while revoked, and with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration and fleeing an officer.
According to the complaint against Roszak, he had removed Luke from a holding cell for booking, but when he ordered her to return to the cell she placed her hands on his chest and addressed him with a vulgarity.
Roszak then lifted her by the torso, carried her across a hallway and flung her into the cell, where she bounced off a steel stool fixed to the floor before landing on the floor, according to the complaint.
The officer then called her an expletive and closed the door to the cell without checking her condition.
The woman suffered visible bruises across her body, and surveillance cameras captured audio and video of the incident, the complaint says.
Luke has filed a notice of injury with the City of Greenfield, usually a precursor to a lawsuit.
Her attorney, Jonathan Safran, told Yamahiro on Wednesday that his client, who was not present, took some responsibility and was sorry for her actions that night, but still felt Roszak had acted unprofessionally.
The criminal case against Luke is scheduled for a plea hearing in January.

Skip to comments.Obama: Dems have 'better story' to tell women
Posted on 03/06/2012 3:42:33 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama says Democrats will have a "better story" than Republicans to tell women voters in the November election.
Obama says he does not believe women will be single-issue voters. But he says his party has the better plan for women on everything from housing to education.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
"Story" is right and it's all fiction.
What about men? Typical leftist troublemaking.
Well, yeah, if "relax" is what he's saying. If you know what I mean.
Then there's the "come up and look at my ....."
I am embarrassed that so many women buy into the emotional manipulation of the Left. It doesn't say much for intelligence in my gender (Leftists that is).
They just "honed" their lies better.
Sorry, I don't enjoy fairy tales the way I used to!
Sure they do. Just send out the spokehags, Pelosi and Wasserman-Shultz to do the talking. They'll convince them./s/
Remember this is the guy that said campaign promises weren't made to be kept.
Hussein: Proud to Pander!
Does it begin: "Once upon a time..."?
Holy Fluke! She looks all fluked up!
How many more Obama Victim Groups can the shrinking minority who still work and/or pay taxes carry?
I can't think of any single issue voter Obama doesn't have a story for.
Satan has a way with women's ears.
We'll find out in November. If Baraq wins, we've passed the tipping point. At that point, FReepers will have to change their total approach, forget about politics, and ponder more fundamental "change".
I always say that Republicans hope people are smart while Democrats know people are stupid. I guess I should change the word "people" to "women" now that Obama proved the point.
The Dems message to women is only that it is okay to murder your offspring and insist someone else pay the price for it. This country is truly full of sick human beings.
Maybe, but she just made the leap to liberal big time. She'll be able in the money on the campus speaker circuit, writing a book, appearing as a commentator and activist expert on DNCnn and MSDNC...
I'm sure if the situation was reversed and Ms. Fluke was a Conservative being "insulted" by a Liberal Broadcaster, good old Larry would be front and center waving the cash.
Based on the projected number of respondents, Ole Larry would go broke pretty quick.
What about when your white husband can't get a job because he's either the wrong color and/or there aren't any jobs? Why would a woman like that?
Why would a woman like a country that is going broke that leaves her kids tons and tons of debt?
Why would a woman want a country that is invaded by foreigners bred to hate them and their kids?
Does Obama really think that all women care about is "free" birth control - (even though it isn't even really free)?
And that's all it is; a story.
Telling stories (real or fake) is Obama's idea of leadership. He thinks women are as easy to fool as minorities.
Leftist men tout promiscuity so that leftist women will have sex with them.
I just realized that I misspelled Larry's last name, it's Flynt, not Flint.
I don't want him confused with James Coburn who played the role of Super Spy Derek Flint. Flint was a cool cat, not a skunk like Larry Flynt.
Barry and the 'RATS didn't come up with the storytelling idea, Slick Willie did! He was the Mother of All Storytellers and the women fell for it every time.
How about Clinton and his intern..? And about anything else in a skirt (better put some ice on that...)
Oh and how about some stories about those Kennedy boys? Teddy and his dog named Splash- hah hah! Ever hear the back story on that? And then there was JFK and his interns and RFK and Marilyn ... and now we have new generation of Kennedy men - one of RFK's sons just showed to drop kick a nurse 25 feet! Oh the stories!
Oooh, and dig the stories on John Edwards. Man he was almost one heartbeat from the WH! Wouldn't a VP having 2 families at one time have been speshul ...
Maybe Anthony Weiner could tell us some democrat stories for wymyn...anyone listening?
But yah know, I think the best story democrats have to tell about women - is what they did to Sarah Palin.
You know that we are going to hear all of this crapola until we finally go BK. These worthless scum in politics can only get elected handing out favs. The can keeps kicking down the road. Nothing is going to change with this election as I see it, unless Newt gets in.
Actually, Obama's culture offers non-lesbian women nothing. They do not acknowledge love, loyalty, commitment, respect or families. They discriminate against, hate and debase the woman's husband, father, brothers and uncles.
Women who create children outside of marriage as Obama and his amoral kind pushes, suffer greatly both economically and socially and so do their children. They suffer the same in divorce which Obama's culture pushes as it divides and conquers men in the name of women and is a human love and honor wrecker.
Women who join Obama's culture are sexual objects who suffer disease and and a sense of abandonment. To be obama slut cool, and interact with Obama slut men, a woman must sacrifice the only place in life where tenderness, growth, safety, love and friendship is real, exchanged and trustworthy.
Obama does not represent women. Obama represents perverts of nature and abasers of male and female souls.
Very well said. Thank you.
Thank you, too. :)

Kierkegaard on regard for enemies
Scholars can be like children in a schoolyard. We push one another around, turn our noses up and have our cliques. On the terrain that I know best, the writings of Søren Kierkegaard, today's Gettysburg is the struggle between readers who see play and misdirection everywhere in Kierkegaard and those who are inclined to read him as a philosophically and poetically gifted evangelist.
Christianity is alive and well in the Southern Hemisphere
Christians throughout history may be justly accused of many failures, but it appears neglecting evangelism is not one of them. Observers of Christian growth have been suggesting over the last few decades that the faith is experiencing a significant migratory moment, not unlike the first explosive venture outside the tribe of the Jews into the unfamiliar world of the gentiles.

1991 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Sport 2dr SUV
I special ordered my Blaxer in 1989 but it took awhile to get it and it was titled as a 1991. I ordered it with the two wheel drive with 3:42 axle and positraction. 5 spd. manual with the transmission cooler and a two door with single glass rear quarter windows. It is white with the tan leather interior and has the egg crate style wheels. It also has the digital liquid crystal display and the sun roof. I put 300,000 miles on it and gave it to my step son and he continues to drive it every day without any major issues. It is near 350,000miles now. It came from the factory with a GMC Grille and red racing stripes for (?) so I had to do a bit of "customizing" to make it more apealing to me.
Easy to work on. I over gapped the plugs and got a bit better mileage and performance Had to change the dash once. Great styling, even the wheels.
The factory should have been more responsible for the bad paint. Also the spare tire/jack were difficult to remove and replace.
I bought my 2wd blazer because i knew
there was alot out there in the
performance industry for s10's and im
glad to say that buying my blazer was a
great choice for me... its reliable and
really easy to work on. Not to mention
theres parts everywhere for s10's.
The best thing about it is that you can
do some much to them. I lowered mine
and put 18 inch wheels on it tinited
the windows and got a stereo. Which is
all fun!
an improvement would be to make it
quiter in the car, its got some road
noise when your on the road and the
engine fan is rather loud.

Project Description
Hi there everyone,
I'm setting up a Solar Supply business called SolarStock or possibly SolarSupplies, more likely the first.
We will be selling solar panels and other associated equipment.
I'm in need of a Logo to be designed for my business.
I don't really have much ideas to input, apart from possibly having a shipping crate incorporated into the design,
I also quite like the vibrant colour scheme of blue, green, purple/pink.
And I would also like the logo to be able to be used with or without the title
I would like to have at least three concepts to start with.
I welcome your suggestions and look forward to your replies

Since it seems like somebody's Russian-equipped proxy has either upped the ante big time or committed the biggest aircraft identification blunders since the USS Vincennes "incident in 1988, does anyone want to weigh in on the festering mess? I've seen contradictory reporting, allegations of foul-ups by the Malaysian government, allegations of concealment from the Ukrainians, the Russians, the "separatists", and the US government, a bit of lion roaring from the Brits, and silence from the Malaysians.
And on this site, the crickets are deafening.
Anybody care to weigh in?

How is that Malaysian Air's fault? That is the standard commercial route and most airlines were not re-routing.
"And on this site, the crickets are deafening."
A single f was given for Israel / Gaza, either.
What's there to say? Palestinian government fires rockets into Israel to bait them into responding with force. Israel responds. Palestinians get indignant. Lapdogs follow suit. "How dare those evil Jews respond to our rockets?!? The fascists are killing all the innocent people that that we put near our rocket launchers. Netanyahu is Hitler reincarnated!"
Its all a Palestinian PR move. Some buy it. I don't. About what you'd expect from a people that elected a terrorist organization. Democracy ain't for everyone.
Well it is not like the Israel/Palestine conflict is anything new, it's been the same thing for years, just going on and on and on. The problem is Hamas is using civilians as human shields then when Israel retaliates against an attack civilians die and they become evil Zionist pigs, not that Israel doesn't give civilians fair warning to vacate the area. The solution is simple, Palestine has to accept a two state solution, this has been offered in the past on multiple occasions and each time the response to Israel's offer has been an attack or a war.
The problem isn't Hamas using human shields. The problem is an illegal occupation and the ongoing violation of basic human rights resulting in an asymetric conflict. And it's a chicken / egg situation. See South Africa for how it can be fixed.

"I, LeBryan Nash, will be taking my game to Stillwater, Oklahoma to play for Travis Ford," Nash said as he pulled out an orange, form Cowboy hat and put it on his head. "I chose Oklahoma State because it's best for me and my family."
"Travis Ford has been recruiting me for so long, since he came (to Oklahoma State), he's been on me. (OSU assistant) Butch Pierre is a great assistant coach. I think I fit in that system. I think I'm going to have the ball in my hands most of the time. I think I just fit in there," Nash said on the ESPNU broadcast.
Nash, who will sign with Oklahoma State during the early signing period Nov. 10-17, becomes the Cowboys' second commitment in the Class of 2011. He joins Karron Johnson of Midland (Texas) junior college in saying they will sign with OSU.
The Cowboys only have two scholarships available in the Class of 2011, but it was widely known that Nash had been the Cowboys' No. 1 target for the past year. He averaged 17.8 points and 10.2 rebounds a game last season as a junior in leading Lincoln High School to a 28-4 record.
He made his official visit to Oklahoma State in August, but has been a frequent visitor to the Stillwater campus the past five years. Former Cowboy point guard Byron Eaton is his half-brother and Nash made numerous trips to Stillwater during Eaton's playing career. Nash made his official visit to Baylor on Sept. 11 and made the trip to Lawrence, Kan., for KU's Late Night in the Phog this past weekend.
"(Byron) played a big role (in me selecting OSU). He told me that Travis Ford was the coach for me," Nash said. "I love it up there (in Stillwater)."
"Nash is a terrific prospect. When he plays hard, he's one of the best players in the country," said Evan Daniels, basketball recruiting analyst for Scout.com.
"He's an elite athlete that with tremendous versatile and a unique ability to score. Nash also has the toughness factor. If he sniffs out fear in an opponent, he usually exploits it by attacking the basket and using his strength, athleticism and ball skills to score," Daniels added.
Assistant coach Butch Pierre has been Oklahoma State's main recruiter of Nash, and was in Dallas on Tuesday to watch him practice with his Lincoln High School teammates. OSU was not the lone college represented as Kansas assistant Danny Manning and the entire Baylor coaching staff also made the trip to Dallas.
Pierre recruited and signed some of nation's top high school players as an assistant coach at LSU, including future NBA players Glen Davis, a top-20 prospect in 2004, and Brandon Bass, a top-15 prospect in 2003. He also signed Stromile Swift (the second overall lottery pick in the 2000 NBA Draft) and Tyrus Thomas (the fourth overall selection in 2006) during his tenure at LSU.
Nash would be the highest-ranked high school player to sign with Oklahoma State since Gerald Green in 2005. The 6-8, 200-pound Green was No. 2 in the Class of 2005, and signed with the Cowboys but never made it to Stillwater because he entered the NBA Draft after his senior year of high school.
Former Cowboy James Anderson, now in his rookie season with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, was the 18th-best prospect in the Class of 2007 when he signed with Oklahoma State.

I know all about using VNC in general and configuring resumable sessions, what I didn't know about was the libvnc extension to modular Xorg, which is what I though was "incredibly cool".
