Brazil family fights to keep house-trained tigers
It would be a typical family scene if not for the fact that Dan and Tom tip the scales at 700 pounds, have claws that could slice a man in two and were raised along with seven other tigers sleeping in the beds of Ary Borges' three daughters. The big cats still amble about his humble home in the middle of an industrial neighborhood in this southern Brazil city.
Borges also has two lions, a monkey, and a pet Chihuahua named Little inside his makeshift animal sanctuary, where man and beast live together in his spacious red-dirt compound, separated from the outside world by tall metal fences and high wooden walls. (Associated Press)

This is a common scam. The scammers never had an actual dog. Just some pics they lifted off the Internet. Their goal was to get you to send untraceable cash to someone you didn't know. They will probably try to contact you again with stories of the horrible things that might happen to this make-believe dog if you don't send more money. Don't buy it.

Listen to your heart. To the story of a most beautiful man born in to this world a fraternal twin 2 minutes apart from no ordinary love. He is one of a kind. Born of a very beautiful and most precious mom and a beautiful dad he never knew. Although he spent most of his life in mourning of both these losses, he strive to grow mature and persevered to find a life, love and to be blessed with a most beautiful child of his own and many many friends family and admirers who are at a loss without his beautiful eyes his big gazing smile and a most striking presence that no one ever dare forget. Colo-rectal cancer has closed his eyes and silenced his voice but we take comfort that he stayed strong and fought until his very last breath. We take comfort that he isn't in pain anymore. We take comfort that he has found peace in the loving arms of his lord and savior and in the arms of his mom, dad, granny and everyone that he and his precious heart has missed all of his 22 years on this earth. We will always love and miss him forever more.
Love Tia.

But I would go shoot all three, and get which one feels best; except for a Taurus auto.

Shoulder injury sidelines Sharapova
Maria Sharapova is determined to defend her Australian Open title later this month, despite shoulder problems.
Photo: AP
DEFENDING Australian Open champion Maria Sharapova says she remains hopeful of being in Melbourne to defend her grand slam title later this month, despite being forced to withdraw from next week's exhibition tournament in Hong Kong.
Sharapova has endured a year hampered by a shoulder injury, which forced her to miss the Beijing Olympics and the US Open. She had arthroscopic surgery in mid-October and only began practising last month.
"It's with much disappointment that I have to withdraw from Hong Kong," she said. "I've been using this event for the last five years to get match fit and ready for the new season. In fact, Hong Kong has been successful in preparing me for the Australian Open.
"I'm just not ready to play against the top-class competition in Hong Kong, although I remain hopeful for Australia, where I'm the defending champion. Believe me, it's been a very difficult decision, but I only started practising 16 days ago."
The 21-year-old also said that the entire rehabilitation process had not only made her stronger but also "more hungry".
"I miss competing so much. I am trying to do everything possible to be ready for Australia, but I have promised my doctors, coach and family that I will not rush back.
"Since I started practising I have only been able to practise so many hours at a time, which is why I don't feel like I am ready to compete at a high level right now and this is why I need to pull out of the exhibition in Hong Kong.
"The great news is we have taken care of the problem that has been bothering me so much over the last couple of years I know my shoulder will be 100 per cent by Australia, I just need to see if I have enough tennis training to be ready for that level."
Last year's runner-up in the men's tournament, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, has thrown down the gauntlet to fellow big guns by declaring a "war" for the No. 1 ranking in 2009.
And it's one he expects to be in the thick of after confidently rating himself capable of winning the Australian Open in the first grand slam event of the New Year.
Tsonga will open 2009 by playing the inaugural Brisbane International, starting this weekend, as he attempts to go one better than his final defeat at Melbourne Park in 2008.
The world No. 6 is seeded second in Brisbane behind Serb world No. 3 Novak Djokovic, who defeated him in four sets in the last Australian Open final.
"For me, it was very difficult to lose the final to Novak, so it's given me a lot of motivation for the rest of the year, and now I hope I will win against him the next time," he said. "I'm confident (of winning the Australian Open) because I've had a very good preparation. It's a new opportunity to play another final or win a tournament."
Following his Melbourne Park disappointment, Tsonga was laid low by injuries but won the Paris Masters to show his success which included a semi-final upset of Rafael Nadal was no flash in the pan.
After Nadal ended Roger Federer's record of 237 consecutive weeks at the top, Tsonga felt the days of one player cementing himself as No. 1 were over.
Asked who would be on top at the end of 2009, Tsonga said: "I hope me, but I don't know. I think there is a lot of good players and it's going to be a war."

Published: 13 May 2010
by RICHARD OSLEY
A TOUGH line of Red Rose resistance has been drawn out around north London as Glenda Jackson and Frank Dobson joined a mini-troop of Labour MPs in the capital defying national trends by returning to Parliament.
The punchy performance in Camden also saw the Labour Party retake control of the Town Hall after only four years on the opposition benches.
As the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats hatched a historic power-sharing coalition through David Cameron and Nick Clegg nationally, the painful fall for Labour supporters facing a return to opposition in the House of Commons was broken by a stunning set of results locally.
Ms Jackson – as first reported in print by a New Journal special edition distributed on Friday afternoon – was returned with a narrow majority of 42 votes, repelling the twin threat of the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats.
She celebrated her 74th birthday on Sunday by toasting a result that has been dubbed "The Great Escape", as for months she has been told that she should expect to lose her Commons office.
Mr Dobson, whose majority was cut in 2005 against the backdrop of the Iraq War, doubled his majority, obliterating the opposition with a win so big that it seemed to surprise even his own backers.
The Lib Dems, in particular, had been confident about making serious inroads in a constituency which Mr Dobson has held for eight terms and 30 years.
Maybe he was surprised too – his voice cracked as he took to the stage on Friday morning for speeches and thank-yous. The closest runner-up, Jo Shaw, although polling more than Mr Dobson did when he won in 2005, was 10,000 votes adrift on a day of large voter turnout.
Labour's results helped sweep 30 councillors into the Town Hall as thousands appeared to replicate their parliamentary vote on council ballot paper forms. Seats turned from yellow to red in Cantelowes, Kentish Town, Kilburn and Camden Town with Primrose Hill, while a full slate of Tory councillors in Gospel Oak was knocked out by Labour replacements. The Conservatives were banished from Bloomsbury and gains were made in Highgate too, where Labour won two more seats from the Greens, who had a disappointing showing.
It means Councillor Nash Ali will move into the leader's office at the Town Hall and a fresh Labour-only cabinet will be appointed on Saturday.
Sceptics among councillors who will form the opposition believe it's a thin majority that will be challenged in four years' time. They point out more than 50 per cent of voters in Camden's local elections voted for one or other of the outgoing council coalition parties.
Yet on a night when Labour lost scores of seats in the House of Commons, the party proved highly resistant in neighbouring London boroughs as well. The celebrations were shared in Islington South and Westminster North, where activists had been repeatedly warned to expect their sitting MPs to be defeated, only to see them win.
There are several suspicions as to how Labour polled so well against the odds, but a recurring theme in the analysis – from the Labour and the Lib Dem camps at least – is that for all the debate about Lib Dem surges during the campaign, there was a growing terror among the traditionally large number of Labour supporters in Camden that a cross in any other box might in some way make them responsible for the Tories getting the chance to run the country. Those who stayed away or protested in the past two elections swung back behind the party.
Lib Dems suggest that to really harden their vote new supporters need to vote for them three times before it becomes a habit.
And in the crush of one of the most closely fought elections this borough has seen, Labour just about managed to conquer what has been termed the "progressive" vote, a share of the vote that Lib Dem candidate Ed Fordham had been successful in wooing in Hampstead and Kilburn.
In that seat, the danger for Conservative candidate Chris Philp, the man left just 42 votes from Parliament, had always been that left-leaning voters would concentrate their support for Ms Jackson – or Mr Fordham, who went into the ballot as the bookies' favourite and was only around 700 votes short of victory himself.
Labour say the Lib Dems locally misread their own spin.
Some Tory strategists meanwhile have wondered whether 42 of the 408 voters who went for UKIP in Hampstead and Kilburn might have been persuaded to back Mr Philp if they had the benefit of hindsight.
The Labour vote certainly hardened in the final days of the campaign and activists believe a message from David Miliband – the former Foreign Secretary who began his bid for the party's overall leadership yesterday – that a vote for the Lib Dems risked a Tory win in the north of Camden had resonance for residents, particularly in Kilburn.
Those undecided almost right up until they stepped inside the polling booths seem to have come down on the idea of giving Ms Jackson another shot.
Mike Katz, a new Labour councillor in Kilburn who worked closely on Ms Jackson's campaign, said: "I think we won with good old pavement politics. We didn't win with leaflets, we won by actually going out to speak to people."
Ms Jackson – indisputably the great survivor of the night, with a smile to prove it – said: "On the campaign, I heard people give examples of how the Labour government had helped, of how Labour had cared for them over the years and that on this individual level they felt the government had achieved much. I feel very sorry for all those people who in good faith voted Lib Dem to have their trust and beliefs disregarded by their leader. It is very sad. However, I wish them well; we are in serious times."

You see them pounding the pavement at lunch or after work, sweating away the cares of the world. They make it look so easy, as if nothing could be more natural than running for miles or minutes on end.
But the last time you tried it, all you received were blisters and shin splints for your troubles.
Sound familiar? Running (or jogging, which some see as simply a slower form of running) is one of the most effective, time-efficient workouts around, but if you, well, get off on the wrong foot, it's hard to stay motivated and easy to get discouraged.
But starting — and sticking with — a running program doesn't have to be difficult. It's simply a matter of doing the right things at the right time.
Step by step
First things first: check with your doctor to be sure that running is the right activity for you. Individuals who should probably bypass running in favor of walking include those with orthopedic or heart problems, or those who are more than 20 percent overweight.
Nothing can derail a running program faster than sore feet. Though they often carry a hefty price tag, good-fitting running shoes can help prevent shin splints, blisters and sore muscles. Aside from comfortable clothing, little else is required.
Once you're suited up, simply head out your front door or take a drive to a nearby park. Asphalt or dirt surfaces are preferable to concrete; be sure that where you run is safe and well lit.
Jog your memory
As a child, you probably didn't think about how you ran. You just did it. Your muscles took over while your brain concentrated on more important things, like hopscotch or baseball cards.
But as you've grown older, your muscles may have forgotten how to run effortlessly. To help jog both your and your muscles' memories, here are a few tips:
F.I.T. tip
Frequency, Intensity and Time (FIT) are the elements you need to put together an effective beginning running program. The accompanying table offers a program for those who are less fit, but may be adapted for those who have been exercising aerobically for some time.
The best way to halt a running program in its tracks is to do too much too soon. A minimum of 20 to 30 minutes, three days per week (with days off in between) at an intensity of 50 percent to 85 percent of maximum heart rate is the standard recommendation, but may be manipulated to suit individual speed or endurance goals.
Here are a few more things to keep in mind:
Training basics*
*Individuals who are in good shape may progress at a faster rate by increasing time and intensity simultaneously, while those who are less fit may opt to progress more gradually.

Week at MHC
Three members of
the Mount Holyoke College Board of Trustees met with representatives
of the Student Coalition for Action and other members of the
Fair Labor Code Coalition on Thursday evening, February 26,
and listened to the concerns voiced by that group regarding
labor practices at Mount Holyoke, in particular, and within
the construction industry, in general. The full board then
discussed the Fair Labor Code Coalition's call that the
College adopt a Fair Labor Code of Conduct.
This week, Board of Trustees Chair Eleanor Graham Claus '55 and President
Joanne V. Creighton reported on the board meeting in a letter to the community.
According to that letter:
"The Board discussed labor practices at Mount Holyoke,
informed by the December 8, 2003 letter to the Mount Holyoke
Community of the Multicultural Community and College Life Committee
(MCCL) and by an oral summary of a conversation that three trustees
had with representatives from the Student Coalition for Action
on Thursday evening. The Board noted that the campus has been
through a long and thoughtful process to consider whether Mount
Holyoke wants or needs a Fair Labor Code of Conduct and that
all members of the College community have had the opportunity
to present their views and to debate the issues. Given the MCCL's
conclusion from this process that the will of the Mount Holyoke
community was not to enact such a code, the Board concluded that
no action was appropriate on its part. The Board was pleased
to hear that the president had moved forward on the MCCL's
recommendation that the ombudsperson position be filled as quickly
as possible."
In the interview below, we asked Vice
President for Finance and Administration Mary Jo Maydew to discuss
the issues involved and to respond to the claims and demands
of the Fair Labor Code Coalition.
Q: What is a Fair Labor Code of Conduct?
A: A set of principles that describes how an organization will
behave with regard to issues of compensation, working conditions,
and other related topics.
Q: Has the College considered a Fair Labor Code of Conduct?
A: Yes. For the past 18 months, the Multicultural Community and
College Life Committee, composed of faculty, staff, and students,
has discussed the desirability of a Fair Labor Code of Conduct
for Mount Holyoke through its Fair Labor Practices Subcommittee.
Q: What was the result of that process?
A: After much campus discussion, the Fair Labor Practices Subcommittee
issued a report in June 2003 that did not establish a code
of conduct but did propose four recommendations. MCCL reviewed
the subcommittee's recommendations, received additional
input from the community, and, in a December 8, 2003 letter
to President Creighton and the community, declined to endorse
the recommendations. On February 20, 2004, President Creighton
wrote to members of the community accepting MCCL's report.
Q: Why did the MCCL choose not to put forward the recommendations
of the Fair Labor Practices Subcommittee?
A: In his December 2003 letter, MCCL Chair Craig Woodard stated
that "a large segment of the community expressed their
view, that taken together, the recommendations are too much like
a code of conduct, which was rejected during the FLPS dialogue
with the campus community last year. Conversely, other respondents
felt that the recommendations were too vague to be useful."
Q: How do Mount Holyoke staff members feel about a Fair Labor
Code of Conduct?
A: The vast majority of staff have expressed themselves as being
opposed to a Fair Labor Code of Conduct in any form.
Q: Did the College take any action in response to the MCCL report?
A: Yes. The MCCL report recommended that the vacant ombudsperson
position be filled, which has been accomplished. As President
Creighton's recent letter announces, Adrianne Andrews
began work as Mount Holyoke's ombudsperson on March 2
(see article on page one). In addition, MCCL pointed to feedback
from some employees about issues or problems in their workplace.
Human Resources Director Lauren Turner has met with MCCL to
get more detailed information, which she will share with members
of the senior staff so that appropriate action can be taken.
Q: Throughout the past few years, while
major construction was under way on the science center and
other projects, the Student Coalition for Action and the Western
Massachusetts Carpenter's
Union Local 108 alleged that construction workers were treated
unfairly while working here. That claim was made again at the
rally last Thursday. Is it true?
A: The statement that workers on College projects were treated
unfairly is largely based on their belief that all workers should
be employees and that the independent subcontractor model (in
which workers are self-employed) is inherently unfair. The College
disagrees. Independent subcontracting is a model that is completely
legal and is practiced by a majority of workers in Massachusetts.
Q: What is an independent subcontractor and how is it different
from an employee?
A: An employee of an organization receives wages and benefits
from the hiring organization, including health insurance, worker's
compensation insurance, and whatever other benefits the employer
offers. Independent subcontractors are individuals who are in
business for themselves. They contract with organizations to
perform a job for an agreed-upon price (which may be for the
entire job or at a rate per time period). That price includes
the cost of the independent subcontractor providing his or her
own benefits and insurance. While employees typically have one
or two primary jobs with the same employers, independent subcontractors
move from job to job and typically work for a wider variety of
organizations. While the Fair Labor Code of Conduct discussions
have focused almost exclusively on independent subcontractors
in the construction industry, there are many other kinds of independent
subcontractors used by the College, from freelance writers to
technology consultants to caterers. Independent contractors may
be a single individual or an organization that may have employees
or may use other independent subcontractors as workers.
Q: What about the claim by the Fair Labor Coalition that construction
workers are being illegally misclassified as independent subcontractors?
A: Whether a worker is an employee or an independent subcontractor
is determined by a 20-point classification system developed by
the Internal Revenue Service. While there is some judgment needed
in interpreting the system, if the worker's situation is
predominately as described in the classification system, that
worker is properly an employee and legally must be treated as
such. If a worker feels that he or she has been misclassified,
the appropriate course of action is a complaint to the state
and national Departments of Labor, who regulate this area. However,
whenever anyone has expressed concern to the College that workers
were being illegally misclassified, we have investigated. This
has happened twice in recent years, and in both cases a review
of the criteria being used and the documentation provided did
not demonstrate any misclassification.
Q: Or the claim by the Fair Labor Coalition that day laborers
have been mistreated?
A: A number of allegations were made about the treatment of workers
from Labor Ready, a firm that supplies day laborers to construction
jobs. The allegations brought to our attention were investigated
and found to be without merit in most instances. In a few instances,
inappropriate behavior (primarily with regard to how individuals
were assigned to jobs) had been identified prior to our investigation
and the individuals responsible had been replaced.
Q: The current demands by the Fair Labor
Coalition go beyond the Fair Labor Code of Conduct that was
considered by the MCCL. For example, they want the College
to ensure that all workers on campus, including temporary and
day laborers, will be paid a minimum wage of $12 an hour. What's
the College response?
A: The College pays competitive wages to all of its employees,
although some do make less than $12 an hour. However, the College
has no control over what organizations who do business with the
College pay their workers. Trying to require this of other organizations
would simply mean that they would not do business with the College
and their behavior would remain unchanged.
The living wage issue is an important public policy issue, but it is one that
cannot be solved by Mount Holyoke College. Those who wish to engage the issue
can best do that by contacting their state and federal legislators and advocating
for increases in the minimum wage.
Q: The Fair Labor Coalition also wants
the College to contract with companies that don't use
independent subcontractors. Why is the College resistant to
this idea?
A: The majority of construction firms and many other organizations
and individuals use the independent subcontractor model. By restricting
itself to the minority of firms who use only employees, the College
loses flexibility, has fewer choices of whom to contract with,
and almost certainly pays higher prices. Doing so would penalize
Mount Holyoke (since all other institutions would continue to
be free to use independent subcontractors) without changing any
company's behavior.
Q: The Fair Labor Coalition also wants
employees to have the right to unionize or not, as they see
fit. Don't Mount
Holyoke employees already have this right?
A: All U.S. employees in certain categories (basically nonmanagement
and some professional staff) have the legal right to unionize.
The College respects the right of groups of employees to choose
to unionize if they wish to do so.
Q: Finally, the Coalition wants to establish
a Fair Labor Practices Committee to monitor the College's
adherence to this policy. The Committee would include faculty,
staff, and students and be chaired by the ombudsperson. What
is your reaction to this idea?
A: That it's impractical on a number of levels. The College
at any point in time has hundreds of consulting relationships
entered into virtually every day by many different offices on
campus. So the volume is formidable. In addition, these individuals
or organizations are not subject to the College's scrutiny
and cannot be made to comply with such a process. Mount Holyoke
has virtually no control over the employment practices of other
Currently when issues are raised or complaints received, they are investigated
by the College administrators who are directly involved in the contractual
relationship. Because of that relationship, firms will usually do us the courtesy
of responding to our questions and providing the relevant documentation, but
we cannot require them to do so. If we become dissatisfied with an organization's
performance or practices, we will not continue to do business with them, but
that is our only leverage. Given that, these discussions are best handled by
those in the College who are closest to the contractual relationship.
Q: The Fair Labor Coalition has vowed to
keep pushing this issue and may continue to do so despite the
decision the College community has arrived at already through
the MCCL process and the Board's
declining to intervene. What is the administration's reaction
to this?
A: The campus has been through a long and thoughtful process
to consider whether Mount Holyoke wants or needs a Fair Labor
Code of Conduct. All members of the College community have had
the opportunity to present their views. The College committee
charged with making a recommendation has not brought forward
either a code of conduct or a set of recommendations on these
issues. This has been a good process and a decision has been
reached and accepted. The Fair Labor Coalition should respect
that decision.

Dow to Gold Ratio - How Much All the Dow Jones Companies Are Worth Expressed in Gold
Posted by: UndervaluedEquity.com (IP Logged)
Date: January 9, 2014 11:04AM
This article about how to use the dow to gold ratio to valuate all the companies in the Dow Jones Index is a great resource for investors in individual gold mining stocks. However, when you are investing in gold mining stocks through an ETF like GDX, GDXJ, RING, GLDX, PHYS, GLD and IAU I recommend you to read this article too.
One of the methods investors can use to help to determine the future price of gold is the Dow to gold ratio. The Dow to gold ratio looks at how many ounces of gold it takes to purchase all the companies in the Dow Jones index, assuming every point in the index represents one dollar.
If you are interested in my thoughts as to where I believe the Dow to gold ratio will go to, I recommend you to read the note at the bottom of the page.
As you can see in the Dow to gold ratio chart above¹ there are periods in recent history where investors have lost confidence in paper assets. These periods come shortly after the performance of the Dow Jones index has peaked and are referred to as a financial crisis. Looking at the chart, it seems that at the end of every financial crisis the Dow to Gold ratio comes down to between 2.9 and 1.4 to 1.
How to Calculate Today's Dow to Gold Ratio Yourself
In the widget which is included on this page on UndervaluedEquity.com you will find real time market data for the Dow Jones index and the gold price.
You can calculate today's Dow to gold ratio yourself by dividing the value of Dow Jones index by the value of the gold price, and with the outcome there are two possible conclusions:
Note: In today's world governments and central banks do anything in their power in order to prevent the total collapse of the economy. Therefore I must conclude that we are in the midst of a financial crisis! This means that the price of the Dow is too high or that the price of Gold is too low. As with all things in life: the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I believe that the Dow Jones index will come down and that the price of gold will go up. Eventually, I believe the Dow to Gold ratio will come down to between 3:1 and 1:1.

Q&A: Mahyar Monshipour!
By Robert Coster
On March 13th, former WBA jr featherweight champion Mahyar Monshipour scored a convincing TKO win over fellow ex-champ Felix Machado in Ameneville, France. It was the French-Iranian boxer's third victory on the comeback path since retiring in 2006 after losing his title. Mahyar has stated that his comeback is not for money but "for honor" with the purpose of winning a world title at age 34. Monshipour's comeback has been seen as " ill-advised" by some pundits but is welcomed by his legions of fans in France who just adore the little (5'4″) champion with the big heart and believe in him. Fightnews sat down with Mahyar Monshipour to talk about his comeback and what lays ahead in the coming months.
Q: Mahyar, what is your report card on your performance against Felix Machado, a former world champion like yourself?
A: I'm pretty satisfied. I would say the old Mahyar is back at 80%.
Q: Machado expected to give you problems with his height and southpaw stance. He was surprised how well you cut off the ring. You worked on that?
A: I think I'm becoming an expert on fighting southpaws (smiles). Well, I've never been a technical virtuoso. I started late in boxing and got on the job training. I do believe, however, that I'm good at "framing"my opponent's moves, being right on top of him and cutting off the ring. As you know I am an offensive-minded boxer but not without strategy.
Q: Why do you think you are so popular in France?
A: Fans like my offensive-style. They know that I always give my best, win or lose. I never cheat my fans. On a personal basis, I have never gotten a swelled head. I am the son of refugees who escaped the regime in Iran. I have stayed humble and my story is similar to that of other immigrants who came to this country in search of a dream of opportunity and freedom.
Q: You said your comeback is "for honor." Can you explain that?
A: When I retired in 2006, I really meant it. But, with time, I felt that the story shouldn't end there. I feel I can write another page, a glorious page winning a world title again. And honor? Boxing is always about honor, it's a way of life though which honor is won and honor is lost. I want my honor back.
Q: At what weight would you like to fight for a title?
A: I would like to fight, this time, at the bantamweight class–be a two division world titleholder.
Q: When would there be such a title fight?
A: Very soon, hopefully in the summer. My next fight would be for the title, if everything works out.
Q: If you lose, do you stop or do you continue?
A: My comeback is to fulfill my ambition of being a world champion again,nothing else. If I lose, I retire.
Q : You are also taking your first steps as a promoter, right?
A: I certainly would like to make a career of that but boxing is in crisis in France and the economic situation is bad. I have signed a group of young boxers. As a boxer, I can bring an insight that promoters usually don't have.
Q: What advice do you give these young boxers?
A: Don't try to cheat. Boxing is hard work and you must train. Every training session has to serve a specific objective and, at the end, you look back to see what you done and learned. And you must surround yourself with competent, reliable people.
Q: If your son wants to be a boxer someday, would it be OK with you?
A: Yes. I would try to teach him what I know. And tell him, as I said before, " Don't cheat in the gym or you will fail. There are no shortcuts to the top."

tb Tunnel
Tunnel effect, taking a different approach to goto10's version, below.
Lots of controls.
3D Text
This is a qcTextSource (place in qcTextSources folder) that applies the old After Effects trick of using lotsa copies of a layer on the z-axis to make it appear 3D.
Takes the clip or image playing in the layer and makes a neverending tunnel out of it. Also has an optional text input.
Tested on VDMX 0.7.1.6, and Leopard only. Now also with functioning text controls in b0.7 and up. Thanks to Clouds11 for paying attention and providing the update!
If you like this effect, please check out Alx Toneburst's insanely smooth GLSL version, found above.
HID to MIDI control example
this is not so much a QC-ciip but an example to coding illiterates (of which i'm a proud member) of just how easy it is to start using joysticks, PS2-pads, steering wheels, whatever in VDMX. I have this clip running in the background in QT player, and it converts the HID input signals to MIDI, then sends it to VDMX. i then use regular MIDI detect to pick up on the signal within VDMX.
this example uses a logitech attack joystick, but it could be anything.
it's not much, but i felt i had to give something, anything, to this community from which i've snagged to much code :)
Targeting crosshairs
A crosshairs appears over the video, and searches the screen. Pressing the button 'locks' the crosshairs in place. Works great with a live camera input from the crowd. Offers both mouse control and random mode. Leopard only, I'm afraid. Let me know what y'all think!

tb xyMixPixellate
Another in a seemingly endless series of minor variations on the pixellation/glitch theme.
In this version, the image is divided into tiles of variable size. Each tile can be 'zoomed' until it becomes a single solid colour (giving a standard pixellation 'mosaic' effect). Optionally, the amount of zoom for each tile can be controlled by the luminosity of the centre pixel of each tile.

tb slideTile 1.0.1
Divides input image up into tiles, and moves them around, either randomly, or based on the brightness of the pixel at the centre of each tile.
Creates a wide range of glitchy effects, from slider-puzzle to complete image randomisation.

Flood Insurance Claims Delayed and Diminished
Many New Jersey homeowners badly-affected by Sandy are still struggling to repair their damages and rebuild. But thousands who filed flood insurance claims months ago, have yet to receive the money they need to pay for that work. That's causing a lot of finger pointing from Trenton to Washington.
Among the people still waiting is Doug Swallow, whose condo complex sits about a hundred yards from the beach in Long Branch, New Jersey. The first floor of his unit took on about five inches of water during the storm, destroying several computers and pretty much anything he'd left on the floor.
"Three of the units are lower than the units that I'm in, and they're also closer to the ocean," Swallow said. "And their entire first floor was destroyed… took out a wall that was facing the ocean, and just decimated everything that was inside."
The condo association residents applied for FEMA assistance shortly after the storm, and their initial contact was great, he said. The agency sent an inspector quickly and e-mailed a report the very next day.
But FEMA hands off the processing of federal flood insurance to private insurance companies. Swallow and his neighbors contacted their insurer and filed a claim, but then their progress seemed to come to a halt.
So far, the residents have only gotten an initial check for 25-thousand dollars, out of a total of about 200-thousand that they say they're due. In the meantime, they've had to dig into their own pockets to begin doing repairs.
"I feel like I need an insurance policy against the insurance companies," Swallow said. "It's ridiculous to think you have to wait four months before you can start. If we didn't put up the money ourselves, we wouldn't yet be having a contractor even giving us estimates, let alone beginning to work!"
(Doug Swallow stands in his condo as repairs still need to be completed. Scott Gurian/NJPR)
Swallow's experience of waiting months for Sandy flood insurance money to arrive has been shared by thousands of residents along the coast. Governor Christie has called the handling of claims "a disgrace," and Congressman Frank Pallone (D-Monmouth) recently wrote to FEMA that it's unacceptable for people who've paid flood insurance premiums for years to be "left in the lurch when they need the assistance most."
In response to inquiries from WNYC, FEMA issued a statement saying they've made changes to speed up the process and get assistance to storm victims as quickly as possible. The delay, the FEMA statement said, is with private insurers who process the claims.
FEMA has put private insurers in charge of making the pay-out determinations based on government rules. That puts the private insurers under a lot of scrutiny following an event like Sandy, especially by politicians nervous about fraud or abuses in the system, according to Don Griffin of PCI, an insurance industry lobbying group.
"After many of the storms, companies are audited," Griffin said. "And they're audited based on how they settled their claims by the flood program. And frankly, if it turns out that they paid money they shouldn't have, then they will be liable out of that company's pocket. Because basically, they have the taxpayers' checkbook."
Governor Christie has written to the state's Congressional delegation, complaining that the threat of FEMA second-guessing the judgments of insurance companies has sent a chill through the entire claims process and the delays are intolerable.
Meanwhile, Congressman Pallone says Washington needs to understand that the delays are having negative consequences for homeowners, towns and the entire economy of the Jersey Shore.
"I just don't think it's fair to just say, 'Well… it's federal money so therefore it's gonna take longer.' That doesn't make any sense," Pallone said.
Last week, after months of waiting, Doug Swallow and his neighbors finally got a statement from their insurance company, detailing what will be covered under their flood insurance. Though they thought they had pretty good coverage, they were disappointed and surprised to see their claim was reduced by a third.
Now they plan on appealing their settlement, which means it could be several more months before the money finally arrives.

Ever stood on a street corner wondering what your neighborhood looked like a century ago? If yes, a) you are a nerd and b) the New York Public Library is working on it.
Thanks to a 2010 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the NYPL has embarked on a big effort to digitize its collection of historical maps. And for the history-crazed among us, they've just posted a lengthy, detailed description of how that project works.
You might assume that digitizing a map collection is as simple as scanning the paper versions and slapping them on the open web. Not the case. In order to be useful, the maps must be "georectified," or aligned with their modern virtual equivalents. (If that sounds interesting, good news: The NYPL is crowdsourcing that part of the project, which means you are more than welcome to pitch in.) The result is something that looks like this 1909 map of Queens, which has been lined up nicely with the modern grid in case you'd maybe like to look up your apartment like we just did.
The next step after that is cropping (removing those snazzy, flowery borders so many 19th century documents have). Last comes digitization, which is really a step called map tracing, which is "preparing machine readable data to be harvested, mined, analyzed, mashed, made part of the semantic web and relate to itself, across time." And that's going to make walking tours a lot more awesome:
This type of data will eventually allow you to ask your phone a question like, "I'm standing in front of the Coney Island Cyclone, what other attractions would I see if I was here 100 years ago?" and be presented with a reasonable answer such as, "on the other side of the street you'd see the colossal elephant bazaar that stood from 1885 to 1896, etc…"
So if you were to, let's say, hop in a time machine with a goofy Brit in a bow tie, you'd have a travel guide.
Just saying.

"In classic techno-thriller manner, a group of super-villains have concocted a devious world-threatening scheme which the player must foil. At the start of the game we find ourselves on the eve of the U.S. Presidential elections when simultaneous terrorist attacks hit both candidates. Clues point to corrupt elements within the U.S. military and on to the Consortium, and as the story unfolds with one incredible plot-twist after the other, we slowly lose any connection to the real world -- as in the best examples of the techno-thriller genre." - GR
This Game Revolution summery barely puts a dent in the actuality of Act of War: High Treason. High Treason picks up about a year after its prequel Act of War: Direct Action, and furthers the plot. We begin with an apparent hostage situation in progress involving a U.S. Senator. Sergeant Major Jefferson is back with his men to try and end the situation. We later find that the CIA is taking the senator into custody for unknown reasons. This story hits so many plot twists and corrupt military officials you're left begging for more at the end of the game. This game has a minor obstacle, you can purchase the mod version or the full game. The game developers have added quite a bit more humor for our voice actors and videos, the prime example being the Game Completion video. During a few missions in the single player campaign the A.I. becomes relentless and uses every strategy it can think of to win. Developers continue to amaze the player with high quality graphics and top-of-the-line voice acting. New units further expand the game by creating more in-depth strategies and war moves. Many people may say "This is just a supped up C&C Generals". Well, they are wrong. This game has more difficulty in that nothing is too highly overpowered or unbalanced. Whilst the game adds a navy (Playable in the Navy Invaders Mod against AI, or online against humans) they balance the naval forces out with new helicopters, tanks, and other military hardware. This game is top-notch and is a worthy buy. Great on slow computers, almost any gamer can feel this game in its fullest. Although the camera zoom function lacks a lot of features, the cut scenes in-game and prior to mission beginnings are great. A+ all the way folks. Great buy.
