What's more agony: Making a draft pick each round or making a critical Start/Bench decision each week?
My answer: The Start/Bench decision.
I lost a game one week because i benched Brandon Marshall because the Bears were on the road against the Cowboys and the Cowboys D hadn't given up a TD reception all year. I played Leonard Hankerson instead for 7 catches for like 57 yards. Not bad, but nothing compared to what Brandon Marshall did.
If I didn't pay attention to the "Bust Alerts" from the fantasy wiseguys, I would have won my game.
Lot of people must agonize over Start/Bench decisions because I always see comments in the comment thread for someone's help in choosing 1 player out of this group of 3-4 players or choose 2 players out of this group of 3-4 players.
These Start/Bench decisions are brutal.
You make the right call and it's optimal, you don't get credit.
You make the wrong call, and you lose, you're stoopid.

Rubicon Wheels?
I know that everyone asks this question and I did do some searching, I just want too be sure before I buy these. I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Found some JK Rubicon Rims w/ BF Goodrich MT for $700 is that a good deal?
They are a little scraped up, but nothing serious. Anyway from what I understand from reading other forums is that I do NOT need a lift for these too fit, just wheel spacers for clearing the calipers? Is this correct? and what size and brand spacer is the best?
Thank you guys!!
Re: Rubicon Wheels?
What size are the tires? 255/75/17? If they're that size and good shape then I'd say that's a good deal. But if they are that size you'll need a lift.
Re: Rubicon Wheels?
Ok what size lift would I need and what about the wheel spacers?
Re: Rubicon Wheels?
i got 5 Moabs with tires for $250. All 5 rims were mint and the tires were basically no good. But then again i only bought these for the rims... and its funny cause i was still able to turn around and sell the 5 tires for $60 and the 5th rim for another $60 :D
Search your local Craigslist, those JK guys are ALWAYS looking to unload those rims/tires for cheap.
$700 sounds a bit steep, especially if they are scraped up.
Re: Rubicon Wheels?
Re: Rubicon Wheels?
I just put this same set-up on my 2006 GC. You DO NOT need a lift. I used 1/4" spacers to clear the calipers. They don't rub, and the only time I've had an issue is if I hit a pothole. They are definitely loud though, but it doesn't bother me anymore.
Re: Rubicon Wheels?
Just pickked up a pair of Moabs with 4 BFG Mud Terrains on Craigslist tires are in excellent condition with almost 80% tread left and I got them for 650$ :D

more updates on the project. last saturday when it was warmer i was able to get the primer sanded and second coat on as well as a first coat of o.d. on the tailgate passenger fender and the grill. I also got the starter and bracket pulled cleaned, stripped and repainted. I got the fan stripped and repainted too.
I still had plenty of leather that I made the trans cover gasket out of so I cut and tanned some leather for the pads between the fenders and the grill & frame.
Today the project was to get the new radiator installed and the starter installed.
Old radiator removed and the front crossmember painted
Installed the refinished fan with button head stainless fasteners
After the old radiator was drained and out I removed the petcock from it and cleaned it up for installation on the new radiator
The rubber radiator pieces were still in very good shape so I cleaned them and reused them

part of this refurb is for my dads father, and great uncles hence the army theme. the uncle on my moms side served in the 34th in italy etc... and all from my dads father fought in the pacific from the start to the end. not wanting it to be overly specific (and that it is a 2a) we decided on the mil. theme.

I have been making good progress. there was a small setback with the master cylinder leaking from the copper washer between the Y fitting and the m/c. I had put two new washers in there to no avail. I had to pull it back out and found what I believe was a casting flaw and caused a section of the sealing face to be raised. I took some fine emery cloth and flattened the area, cleaned it, annealed the washers, put it all back together and bench bled it again and waited for leaks. none formed so I put it back in and it has not leaked a drop since.
I removed the transmission crossmember and striped it and repainted it along with the trans plate and scrapped the gelled trans mount bushing for a brand new unit. the transfer case bushing was in nice shape so it got cleaned up and reinstalled. a few days later I put that back in with all new grade 8 bolts.
I also removed the clutch pedal arm and both pedals for refinishing. I have all new return springs for the arms when it goes back together.
Then it was time to remove all the existing wiring
I needed some room before starting to re-wire so I figured it was a good time to pull the air cleaner assembly and refinish that with it's brackets. I was in overall good shape but there was an oil tube added which i removed and welded up. some minor rusting on the top of it and there was some bondo on bottom pan. I removed the bondo on the pan and discoverd a few holes. I tacked them up from the inside and sealed it with JB weld and sanded smooth and perfomed a 3 day leak test which showed no problems. I then stripped the entire cleaner and hit the top with some high fill primer and sanded that to fill the pitting smooth. Primed the unit with black primer and then painted it with black semigloss engine enamel. The pics don't really do it justice but I am really happy with the results and it looks fantastic.
Then it was on to start the rewiring. I went to install the fenders and it was then I realized that I had ordered the wrong size stainless bolts for the fender to tub, so i used some of the fender to grill bolts to get the fenders in place and lined up.
for the grill mount wire clips I tapped the hole in the grill tab to 1/4-20 and fastened them down with a stainless socket cap.
then pulled out the hi beam foot switch out, cleaned it on the bench wheel and connected the wires then reinstalled with new stainless bolts and washers.
then marked, drilled and mounted the fender junction block. I decided that on any of the bolts running through the fenders or firewall I would use button heads and acorn nuts with the lock washers. It looks really nice.
routing the harness along the fender
wiring up the new light switch
then installed the battery for fit and to take measurements for the length of battery cables I'll need
then got on finishing up the tailgate.
mounted up the jerry can holder. I used 3/8" stainless bolts with neoprene washers between the holder and the tailgate.
and finally installed the tailgate footman loops.
stay tuned for more.

last saturday I worked on getting stuff wired on the passenger side of yancy. not finalized yet as I didn't have enough cloth loom for the negative cable so once that comes in I can install it. got the ammeter and the fuel gauge back in and in the correct location and got the foot starter switch installed. not a whole lot to shout about but necessary stuff none the less.
the coil that was on there is for use with an external resistor. I thought about reusing it. then I changed my mind and am now just going to run an internally resisted coil so I do not have to muss things up with a bypass wire and resistor making it a cleaner look. so it's back to waiting on parts.
routing the cables and marking for length
my daughter wanted to help make the cables. we stripped the wire end and she operated the torch while I fed in the solder. then she used the heat to shrink the heat shrink tubing over the seam. she was excited. (this is a poser shot, hence the lack of safety gear)
the finished starter to foot switch cable
working on putting the dash back together and wired. we got the 2 guages back in and wired, opened the original key location and put in the ignition switch and high beam indicator.
I ended up making my own pedal draft pad set. my springs were fine so I cleaned them up and painted them and got some neoprene and stainless fender washers from the hardware. looks good and very inexpensive.

this week and today I got a bunch of work done and in the next few weeks making some big progress. thursday I dropped off the rims and passenger seat frame off at the stripper. the firestone ndt's should be here late next week as well.
yay, new parts
new air horn
Installed the new crossover tube and plug wires
new cork gaskets for the oakes air cleaner from beachwood canvas.
making new line for the oil pressure gauge
on the copper tubing after I cut it I like to lower it in the fixture and file it flat even to the fixture to get a nice flare. then cut off the nice flare and do it over because I forgot to put the fitting on.
making the wire from the ignition to the coil
alternator wire and routing of wires on the passenger side of engine bay
new fuel pump to carb line. pretty neat as I got this at autozone and it was o.d. green.
I moved the fuel filter underneath on the line from the tank.
since I am rewiring I wanted to get some items returned to normal and the first thing I tackled was the horn. I removed the column plate and the column tube
I removed the old horn parts down in the worm tube.
then fished through the new horn assembly wire. I did this by pulling a length of mason string up the worm shaft and taping it to the new horn wire then pulling it back through with ease.
put the new horn where it will go.
then I had to install the contact on the outer tube and my tube had no cutout. so I measured and cut the hole for the contact and tapped the mounting holes to 8-32.
refinished the column tube clamp
but I am still waiting on the new upper column bearing to arrive.
working on the driver seat

more progress. finishing up the wiring to get everything working. and starting to get things back together in hopes of getting it down to my buddies shop for some trans and driveline work. getting really close to firing yancy back up and getting excited. I got the passenger seat back from the stripper and the back pan is really pitted, thin and in worse shape that previously thought so i plan to order a new back pan to replace it completely.
pics of the routing of the brake lines off the master cylinder
running the rear harness
the refinished steering column
new upper bearing in the column. this really fixed the major slack from the old worn out bearing.
Refinishing the steering column bracket
steering column reinstalled with wheel
the horn button, works great beep beep.
gauges back in
tail lights on and working
parking lights work
headlights work, high beam switch works and the high beam indicator light comes on like it should
air cleaner back in with the new stainless clamps
Passenger side lower fender bolts back in
Thanks to my buddy bob at cruisers candy shop who is a coker tire dealer got me the Firestone ndt's and tubes for a great price.
so I am going to try and get the tires mounted up this weekend and get them on, install the clips for the battery cables, and get some connectors to finish up the tail lights/rear harness.
|May 23rd, 2009, 07:08 PM
I got the ndt's mounted on the rims. and got them on yancy. man what a difference in the looks!!!. really glad I got the 7.00x16 size with the 1" springs I installed. got the wipers connected to the ammeter for power and put the light switch in the dash leaving only a few small finishing touches to wrap the electrical up I hope. I also put the pedals back in with all the new hardware.

The Federal Trade Commission has launched a preliminary antitrust review of Google's proposed $3.1 billion purchase of online ad giant DoubleClick. Although many similar reviews go nowhere, the government is closely scrutinizing the Google acquisition, which other tech companies such as Microsoft (DoubleClick's spurned suitor), AT&T and Time Warner want investigated. Privacy advocates also voiced immediate concern after the deal was announced last month, saying that combining DoubleClick's ability to track what sites people visit with Google's propensity for collecting search histories puts too much information about internet users in the hands of one company.

- - MacGregor 26M Rotating Mast (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/macgregor/36929-macgregor-26m-rotating-mast.html)
MacGregor 26M Rotating Mast
I've been reading about the scientific wonder that is the rotating mast on all of the MacGregor dealership sites for a little while now. The physics of it sounds good to me, but my question goes out to any Mac owner with the rotating mast: does it really make a noticeable difference?
Any owner's testimonies as to whether it is just a gimmick or whether you would never buy a boat that didn't have one (or anything in between) would be appreciated (for informational purposes while I am in the market for a boat). Thanks!
I occasionally sail with a friend who has one of those. Although it is a cool feature, it isn't obvious to me that it makes any real difference. And occasionally it fails to rotate, so someone has to go manually twist it. Perhaps his just needs adjustment or lubrication though.
Scientific wonder ???
I don't know about the scientific wonder term. All Roger MacGregor did was take the rotating mast off a catamaran and adapt is to his boat design.
Does it work? Yes it does give the Mac 26M better speed ... when it works. It hinders performance when it doesn't. The mast sits on a stack of three washers and rotates to follow wind pressures on the main (at least that's the theory). In reality, improper tension on the standing rigging and/or "dry" washers can lead to a mast that rotates to one side and stays there (and that really screws with the air flow). :confused:
Like anything on a boat, it is a maintenance issue. Some people report problems, most don't. Blue Water Yachts sells an after-market ball bearing assy ($20) as a replacement for the washer stack. Took me 15 minutes to install and my mast rotates freely in even the lightest of winds.
yes the rotating mast works well. good for .5-1 kt. The bearing conversion works but is known for failure due to uneven pressure applied to it...but will make it rotate freely (til it fails). As long as it is rigged OK it will be fine. Manually rotate it if you like, or wait for a gust to 'adjust' it for you
Rotating Mast
The 26M is not a fast sailing boat but the rotating mast does help; I've tried it centered and rotated and noted about 10% difference in speed on the GPS. I've had to deal with rotating masts on C-scows and Hobie 18s. In very light air like any rotating mast you might have to do it manually.
sailing speed
You said the Mac wasn't a fast sailboat. We are looking for one so how fast will it sail in say a 10 knot wind?
Re: MacGregor 26M Rotating Mast
Simple answer...NO.
When I owned my 26 M ] blue] I quickly realized that the rotating mast and the mast height [ 9 mt] was to TRY to increase sailing speed...which I did not want anyway...
However I did enjoy the shallow water capabilities...rudders and board UP...and the creature comforts.
My racing mad mate hated it...
Accept it as a comfy slow [ and good looking] cruiser and you can be happy.
Take two metres off the mast and beef up the rigging...what is there is too light.

Katerina Jaeger Signs with Lobos
April 21, 2013
University of New Mexico head women's golf coach Jill Trujillo has announced Katerina Jaeger (ya-gur) has signed a national letter of intent to attend UNM as a freshman in the fall of 2013.
Jaeger, 19, joins fellow signees Manon Molle and Eva Saulnier as new Lobos in the fall.
A native of Stavanger, Norway - which is located in the far southwestern corner of the country - Jaeger will graduate from St. Svithun VGS in June. She has a 4.0 grade-point-average in high school and was elected to student council four years at St. Svithun.
Jaeger played in 17 individual and/or team competitions in 2011-12. In 2011, she won the Titleist Region Tour (70-69=139) and the Titleist Tour No. 3 (73-73-75=221), which is the highest level of competition in Norway for girls under 19. Jaeger was also a member of the winning team at the 2012 Norwegian girl's team championship. She has competed in tournaments in Germany and Wales as well.
In 2010, Jaeger was the top point scorer for her country in the Tinius Cup, a competition between Norway and Sweden played in a Ryder Cup format. For her effort, Jaeger earned a trip to the 2011 Solheim Cup in Ireland.
"We're excited to add Katerina to our class for 2013," said Trujillo. "She has performed at a high level for several years."
In addition to her golfing skills, Jaeger has competed in tennis and track and field. She has also been part of the Stavanger Theater since 2006. Jaeger has acted in four plays - close to 100 total performances - including "Snow White," "Journey to the Christmas Heart," "The Thousand Hearts," when she played the lead role, and "The Tempest."

st: building a "dream" stata desktop sestup - what's your advise?
Mon, 7 Jul 2008 00:07:09 -0500 (CDT)
I'm setting up an incoming faculty member with what I hope to be a "dream machine." I'm looking for your expert opinions regarding what you'd like to have given the following parameters:
- .25-3Gig routine data file sizes
- a small IT department with limited experience with stata and a strong desire for a standard desktop operating system on hardware they are familiar with (eg: MacPro & Dell optiplex minitower 755.)
- a one-time $10,000 USD setup budget
Obviously we're going to need a 64 bit OS and my incoming faculty person is Vista-averse. I'm inclined toward encouraging the MacPro hardware: quad-core processor (expandable to another quad-core & up to 32gig of ram, internal raid-array drives... it seems perfect for this application.)
My problems are twofold on the MacOS front - first, when will stata actually have the 64 bit Mac version? and second, my new faculty member is also Mac-OS averse.
Does anyone have experience to share with running large data files through the 32bit Stata on a MacPro quad-core? How does it compare with a 2 yr old dual-core 64 bit XP system with .. say, 8 gig of ram? Any guesses?
My sense of XP is that it's a dying OS and I'd hate to use his one-time startup funds on a relatively-soon-to-be-unsupported OS. And then there's the problem (from the point of view of my IT dept) of supporting 64bit XP. (Though it theoretically would run fine on the MacPro hardware - not in emulation mode - but booting directly into XP.)
Thank you for your time and opinions!

What is a Defecating proctogram (Defecogram)?
A defecating proctogram, also known as a defecography or a defagram, is used for functional imaging of the muscles and tubular structures used in defecation. It is a study commonly used to demonstrate the functional problem in a person with pelvic floor dysfunction, or a rectocele. These symptoms can be constipation, incomplete evacuation, incontinence, mucous discharge, or perineal pain.
What is the Preparation for a Defecogram?
You will need to do a bowel prep so that the bowels are empty during the procedure. You will be given a sheet of instructions from the radiology department at the hospital that does the test.
What is the Procedure for a Defecogram?
During this study, the patient is given an enema of a thick liquid that can be detected with x-ray. This is done with a very small rectal probe. A special x-ray video records the movement of the pelvic floor muscles and the rectum while the individual attempts to empty the liquid from the rectum while sitting on a special commode. Normally the pelvic floor relaxes allowing the rectum to straighten and the liquid to pass out of the rectum.
What can be Learned From a Defecogram?
The defecogram is used to diagnose functional defects. This study will demonstrate the entire straining sequence, and if the pelvic floor muscles are not relaxing appropriately preventing passage of the liquid. The defecating proctogram is also useful to show if the rectum is prolapsed (folding in on itself), or there is an intussesception. This is helpful if surgical correction is warranted.

Will Kirilenko, Parker and Spree get paid?
It's tied primarily to a growing nervousness among players that the rules of the collective bargaining agreement are nearing expiration. So far, only four players out of a possible 50 or so eligible players have gotten their contract extensions done.
Everyone from Andrei Kirilenko to Latrell Sprewell has been pouting about their owner's unwillingness to offer a big fat extension before the deadline.
What gives? Owners know that the collective bargaining agreement will likely change in their favor. The owners are hoping that the next round of contracts will have fewer guaranteed years and smaller raises something the players obviously want to avoid.
With the deadline for the draft class of 2001 just a few days away, here's a quick look around the league on where the extension talks stands.

Kentucky Football Notebook
Lorenzen Remains Questionable: Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen remains questionable for Saturday's game vs.Georgia while he recovers from a sprained left (throwing) thumb.
Lorenzen was able to throw the ball during Friday's 45-minute walk-through practice at Commonwealth Stadium. Coach HalMumme said Lorenzen will be re-evaluated on Saturday and his playing status will be determined at that time.
Lorenzen sprained the thumb during Thursday afternoon's practice when he hit his thumb on the helmet of another player. X-rays showed no fracture.

Dear John,
you don't need to adapt -tmap- (or its successor -spmap-) to get surface plots: you just need to have the data in proper format and then draw them as if they represented a map. You can find some examples (not the data, just the pictures) in <http://www.tstat.it/novita/conferenze/SUG2005/Pisati.pdf>http://www.tstat.it/novita/conferenze/SUG2005/Pisati.pdf. Of course, having the data in proper format is another question.
At 22.11 14/02/2007, you wrote:
I've gone through the FAQs and help files, but cannot find any reference
to Stata being able to generate surface plots or heat maps. I did find
a STB package called -surface written by Adrian Mander, but it appears
to be for the Stata 7 graph engine. It also seems very bare bones and
the z-axis scale is completely arcane (my data was decimal fractions
less than 1 and the scale was in 10's of thousands).
The only other possibility seems to be adapting -tmap (thematic maps by
Maurizio Pisati) to work with a simple graphic file of the coordinate
system I'd like to place my data on and encoding the z-axis in color.
Is there an alternative I'm missing somewhere? I don't think this is a
particularly novel analysis - excel has a chart object for surface
plots, but its cumbersome to move data in and out of Excel obviously.
Thanks for any advice

Plan Comm worked as control commission, replace it, says IEO
Jun 23 2014 , New Delhi
The IEO, which was set up by the government in November 2010, from February this year began independently assessing the effectiveness of government programmes and institutional policies. It submitted the assessment report on Planning Commission to Prime Minister earlier this month.
"An assessment of the Planning Commission by the Independent Evaluation Office has found that the plan body exceeds the scope of its authority by acting as a control commission, particularly its influence on the allocation of funds to the state governments.
"Since the Planning Commission has defied attempts to reform it to bring it in line with the needs of a modern economy and the trend of empowering the States, it is proposed that the Planning Commission be replaced," IEO said in its assessment.
IEO recommended that Planning Commission's role as an allocator of resources to the States should be taken up by the Finance Commission and the allocation of resources amongst the Central Ministries should be carried out by the Finance Ministry.
The assessment sent to the Prime Minister recommended that a new think tank be set up with experts of domain knowledge to replace the plan body.
"It is clear that the Planning Commission in its current form and function is a hindrance not a help to India's development. In my experience it is not easy to reform such a large ossified body and it would be better to replace it with a new body that is needed to assist states in ideas, to provide long term thinking and to help cross cutting reforms" said IEO's Director General Ajay Chhibber, while releasing the report to the public.
As per the assessment, the opaqueness in the functioning of the Planning Commission is a matter of concern considering its role as a major allocator of resources to states and central ministries.

View Poll Results: Which name do you prefer for Baby Boy Reynolds?

Miles Charleston (to be called Milo)
Results 6 to 10 of 13
July 9th, 2013 09:25 PM #6
I'm actually in favor of Knox Jameson. The two names give me very different images. Knox Jameson wears worn Levi's and cowboy boots and drives a pick-up truck, whereas Miles Charleston wears plaid shorts and Sperrys and drives a BMW. It just depends on what kind of image you want. I prefer the former.

Knox! Do you get the same general sense from a Milo as from a Miles, or do you picture those names differently? I ask, because my husband really wants Miles to be the official name on the birth certificate (so he'll have a more mature "full name" to use later if he wants) but we plan to call him Milo. Essentially, I'll have a Knox Jameson and/or a Milo Charleston.

It definitely seems like Miles is a popular name among the Berries! Anyone concerned it might be getting TOO popular? I know it's top 100 on Nameberry for the first half of 2013 (according to today's article), but it's also 111 for Social Security in 2012... although Milo (which is what we plan to actually CALL him) is still at 330, which is fine with me. Knox wins the not-too-popular contest between the two names, coming in just a little lower at 368 on the Social Security list. I'm obviously not shooting for something too terribly obscure since I'm fine with a name in the 300s for popularity, but I'd like to avoid anything that's going to go Top Ten anytime soon. I just don't want this child to have to use his last initial to identify himself.

I can't speak for southern.maple, but to me it's the middle names that are giving off the rugged vs. preppy vibe moreso than the first names. Knox isn't especially cowboy-ish to me (it's very modern-sounding and has that Jolie-Pitt connection), but Jameson is rugged. Charleston, on the other hand, sound very upper-crust Southern to me. I'll admit Miles is somewhat preppy-sounding on its own, but Milo could go either way, from country to artsy. It's Charles/Charleston that's really coloring my perception of it. My first inclination when I looked at the poll was to suggest Miles Jameson, but then I read the actual post.

The Deep Web was shook to its core last night when news of the FBI's operation to shut down the notorious online black marketplace Silk Road hit the headlines. The feds announced that following a months' long investigation, they'd finally arrested Silk Road founder Ross William Ulbricht, better known as Dread Pirate Roberts, charging him with narcotics trafficking, computer hacking, conspiracy, and money laundering, whilst seizing the site's domain and taking it offline.
The consequences of Silk Road's shutdown could be massive, with many talking about how the FBI's operation has finally shattered the myth of the Tor network's anonymity, while others are claiming that it could spell the end for – or perhaps give a new lease of life – to the digital currency Bitcoin. But less has been written about what happens next for the drug-starved internet users and criminals that relied on the Silk Road to satisfy their vices, buy weapons, fake identities and more.
With the Silk Road no more, the Deep Web community has been left in a state of utter confusion, with vendors cashing out whatever they still can and patrons scratching their heads wondering what to do next. And of course, both dealers and customers might be wondering if they've accidentally left any kind of digital clues to their identities behind.
We've almost certainly seen the last of the Silk Road, but others will soon emerge to take its place. It may have been the most infamous black marketplace, but it wasn't the only one lurking in the shadows, as several similar illicit marketplaces have been operating alongside it, outside of the media spotlight.
Where Will The Deep Web Resurface?
Until it shut down last week, perhaps the most well-known 'alternative' black marketplace was Atlantis, an upstart rival that shut down just last week with its owners citing "security concerns" before quickly shrinking into the shadows.
However, other contenders to become the new go-to online drugs marketplace remain in place, most notably Black Market Reloaded, also known as BMR, which again can only be accessed via the Tor browser. The Daily Dot describes BMR as the "second-most profitable black market on the Deep Web", noting that it was raking in more than $700,000 a month in profits, according to Backopy.
BMR operates pretty much the same as the Silk Road did, with drugs, 'services', weapons, counterfeits and alcohol among its listings, but notably it also sells guns – something that the Silk Road stopped doing following a spate of high profile shootings that hit the headlines in recent months.
A second alternative is the lesser-known Sheep Marketplace that also specializes in illegal substances. Its quite a bit smaller than BMR, but with the Silk Road out of the way it's likely to see much more custom in the coming weeks.

Not everyone will be hoping that these wannabees can succeed. There are plenty who have celebrated the Silk Road's demise – for example many in the Bitcoin community viewed the site as a stain on the digital currency's reputation and will be hoping the news can help to legitimize it. Meanwhile, Tor enthusiasts will likely feel the same way – after all, the anonymous network isn't just the sole domain of cyber criminals, it's also a haven for legitimate businesses and political activists in countries with repressive governments.
Even so, the Deep Web and its billion-dollar economy is unlikely to go away anytime soon. It's too early to say whether Black Market Reloaded or the Sheep Marketplace will assume the Silk Road's crown, or whether we'll see something else take its place, but one things for sure – wherever there's a demand, there'll always be someone out there willing to supply it.

But other stories don't get the headlines they deserve.
Last week, the Senate Armed Services Committee issued providing new confirmation of the United State's use of torture and links that to the highest levels of the outgoing administration. Big news? Hardly. As Glenn Greenwald at Salon points out the major TV outlets have largely ignored it. It's old stuff about an outgoing administration, and no one in it—or, apparently, in the incoming one either—seems to want much to do with it. As for the media, It's not a bomb threat; it's not money; it's not even corruption under a bad toupee. It's something that the majority of Americans, and the majority of their leaders, wish to ignore. The silence of the media enables that desire.
Such silence isn't limited to Americans. This utterly painful story of a North Korean's escape from a prison camp ought to have a spotlight on it. A really bright spotlight, as it makes clear that North Korean prison camps far exceed even the post-Stalin Gulags in their cruelty.
The escapee, Shin Dong-hyuk, has written a book, Escape to the Outside World. It's only sold 500 copies in South Korea. (There is no English version.) The article does not say how much the Korean media have (or have not) discussed it. The clear implication is "not much."
Perhaps his book does not have the genius of a Gulag Archipelago. Perhaps some people don't believe him; escapees from these camps are few and far between. But mostly, like the stories about the American use of torture here, it's just not what South Koreans are interested in right now. Silence enables them to ignore the pain just north of their border and focus on what they believe really matters.

Brewers broadcaster Matt Lepay evaluates his first 24 games as a baseball announcer
Matt Lepay, whose toughest critic is Matt Lepay, said the first few Brewers telecasts he called were awful.
But he is grateful that during his stint subbing for Brian Anderson he got better and reached what he called a "semi-comfortable" place.
Lepay worked play-by-play for 24 Brewers telecasts on Fox Sports Wisconsin in place of Anderson, who was away handling NBA playoff telecasts for Turner Sports. In some remaining weekend games Lepay will replace Anderson when he is handling baseball for Turner.
Lepay started on April 17 at Pittsburgh and concluded Wednesday vs. Pittsburgh.
"I was terrible, especially the first couple of games," Lepay said. "I beat myself up something fierce after the first game," Lepay said. "Because it was terrible. There is no way you could sugar coat that. Because I was so uptight. They were just trying to loosen me up, get me to relax. That was the advice they tried to send my way as much as they could.
"If there was something good, they would say it," Lepay said, referring to FSW producers and directors. "If there was something that needed to be corrected, they would do that too. Which was good, because I wanted to the truth."
Calling baseball games on television is not the same as calling football and basketball games on radio. The descriptions are different. The pacing is different. On television, the camera paints the picture, not he play-by-play announcer. The mode of storytelling is different. The function of the analyst is different. On TV, you have a producer in your ear more.
Lepay admitted it was a challenge in his new role to know exactly when to talk and when not to talk.
"I felt I got more comfortable with that, but not completely so," Lepay said. "The simple mechanics of television . . . I have to train myself to watch the monitor a lot more. When I am calling a radio game, I'm looking at the field or court. I'm looking at the monitor for a replay. Otherwise, I'm describing something as soon as I see it for a radio audience. Whereas as in television you need to wait one beat or two beats and be able to match what the viewer is seeing. Early on I thought I was very poor at being able to do that.
"That's where the producers and directors and everyone involved were so good with me," Lepay said. "They were teaching me and they were as patient as they possibly could be along the way."
How does he judge his performance over the entire 24 games?
"I don't grade myself, but I think I would say 'needs improvement,' " Lepay said. "I mean it was fun. It was something I dreamed about doing my whole life. Gave up on it. Was at peace with that twenty years ago. It was exciting, humbling, thrill of a lifetime. But I also realized as a baseball broadcaster I have a lot of room to improve."
Lepay said he did check online and social media comments about his performance the first few games, but then stopped.
"It's broadcasting," Lepay said. "Opinions are all going to vary. If I read something that was nice, I would kind of roll my eyes and say to myself, 'You got to be kidding me.' . . . If there was a criticism, it was 'Yep, I knew I made that mistake. I deserved to get filleted.' But after a couple of days (of reading viewer comments), I thought this isn't really doing me any good. Just do your job and try to be better today than you were yesterday and be better tomorrow than you were today. A few people told me that folks on Twitter or whatever were pretty nice. After the first couple of days I didn't look because I was fearing that was not going to be the case. I'm sure the criticisms were quite valid in many cases."
As a respected Wisconsin broadcaster, Lepay over the years has built up big deposits of good will from listeners. If he made a few withdrawals because of a rough start, there's still a lot left in that bank.
"I knew, everyone knew, it was going to be if not a unique challenge certainly an unusual challenge to in essence parachute in during the season," Lepay said. "With basketball or football, the schedule shows a lot more gaps. But I'm still around there. During the football season I'm at Camp Randall almost every day or (during basketball) at the Kohl Center every day, or almost every day. I think the beauty of it with baseball is it allowed me a chance to develop a little bit of a rhythm. . . . It allowed Rock (Bill Schroeder) and I a chance to play off each other and just develop a chemistry."
Lepay said it was not until his second road trip with the team, starting April 28 at St. Louis, that he started to feel somewhat at ease.
"I just needed to get myself to slow down," Lepay said. "I'm not going to lie to you and say I walked out of there and said to myself, 'Yep, I've got this down,' because I know I don't. And I didn't expect to. After those two road trips (St. Louis and Cincinnati), I thought OK, I've got a chance not to embarrass myself fully in this little project. I had seen the team enough over those few weeks and that helped put everything in perspective in terms of what's happening day to day."

Since I started designing websites (and therefore got rid of famous MSIE), I started to constantly look for software alternatives in search for the perfect ones, or at least perfect for me and my needs.
It's been a while since then and finally I feel that I've almost found my "perfect combo" in terms of software you use every day. And that's why this "Software/app picks" series comes in – I'd like to present my findings and hopefully inspire some of you (or make your digital life a lil' easier).
Let's start from the basics, with web browsers – as probably the most used software today.
Part 1 – Web browsers
As I already mentioned, Microsoft's Internet Explorer isn't my software of choice, even though it's still the most used browser out there (which, by the way, isn't ANY guarentee of quality).
For a long time, I was huge Mozilla Firefox fan and propagator – for it's plug-ins, open-sourceness and all those options you have. Then, when released, I switched to Google Chrome from one simple reason – it was new, modern and made from scratch in the Google's way (nothing's automatic, everything rethought and done well).
Suprisingly, there aren't the two web browsers I'm presenting today (in fact, they're my #3 and #4 choices, so it's not that bad, hehe).
These will be Chromium (my choice #1, for common "internet life") and Waterfox (for web developping purposes). They are both built on the same base as their ancestors – Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox – they're just in some ways a little bit different.
Chromium is the open-source web browser. Google took it (I don't say Google didn't contribute to the Chromium) and added some of it's code to make it more public consumption friendly. The point is, as you probably know, Google tends to track all it can and so was built Chrome. Think of Chromium as a "spyware"-less Chrome. In short: Chromium is more free and cutting-edge, Chrome is probably more stable (even though i haven't any problems with Chromium so far); both share their features and add-on compatibility, so there's no problem with migration from one to another.Win download
Waterfox presents itself as "the fastest 64-bit variant of Firefox". The reason why I use it is obvious.. Waterfox is built upon Firefox's source code and optimized for 64-bit systems, focusing on speed. As in Chrome/Chromium case, both Firefox and Waterfox share features and add-on compatibility.Win download
Conclusion? Maybe..
As you can see, I made it probably more dramatic that it in fact is. You could say my top choices are Chrome and Firefox, but still – there are differences. Moral of the story today is, that if you read this using that blue "E" in the top corner, it's time to change :)
I know I missed out Opera and Safari, but I'm not really fan of those and as I introduced, there are purely my subjective choices which can be absolutely opposite from yours. I don't want to start any flame wars, but feel free to react anyhow – I'm still not the pro either.

Brian Wilson was in much better shape for last week's shows at the Regent Theatre than for his Pet Sounds tour in 2002. Gone was the frail, hesitant performer ravaged by two strokes; this time he had more confidence and much better command of his voice. It was as though his music had healed him, and he took great delight in sharing it with the fans who had stuck by him through the hard times. The anticipatory tension of the 2002 shows, when the crowd turned up hopeful but sceptical, was replaced by an audience safe in the knowledge that one of pop's few geniuses could still shine.
And while Smile is no Pet Sounds, it was fascinating to experience Wilson's audacious vision slowly unfolding on stage. Taking its cue from Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue, the album revealed itself like a painting, with intricate orchestration, recurring motifs and stunning choral-like harmonies - with wind chimes, fire hats and vegetables thrown in - as Wilson took us on a childlike journey to his fantasy land of sultry Spanish women, farm animals, pirates and beaches. Once the carnival of sounds had settled, smiles abounded as his final message rang in people's heads: "Love and mercy is what you need tonight."
Taking Meredith by storm
Another recent performance to shoot into the top 10 gigs of the year was the Dirty Three's sunset show at the Meredith Music Festival last weekend. Driving directly into the eye of a storm of biblical proportions hovering above Meredith on Friday night with AC/DC's Jailbreak blaring out of the car stereo, Sticky was braced for something heavy, and it came on Saturday as Warren Ellis led his band through an epic set of their instrumental punk-folk. With the electrical storm erupting overhead, Ellis resembled a crazed conductor as he flailed about with bow and violin, the band's hypnotic grooves leading the 9000-strong crowd in a rain dance then taking us on a breathtaking rollercoaster ride through songs such as Everything is F---ed and She Has No Strings Apollo.
Other festival highlights came from the ragged bluesy rock of Dan Kelly and Dallas Crane; punk-funksters Ground Components, who sound like a car crash between Fugazi, Big Black and Suicidal Tendencies; the Hilltop Hoods, who demonstrated how they captured the imagination of the mainstream this year with their effortless funky anthems and proudly Australian accents; the sublime country stylings of M Ward and Jolie Holland; Young Heart Attack, who came on like the offspring of Joan Jet and AC/DC; live dub reggae act the Red Eyes; hillbilly singer C.W. Stoneking; and Australia's best party band, Dynamo, who closed the festival with the Saints' Know Your Product. Non-music activities included the ever-popular Meredith Gift run in the nude.
Tonight, Intoxica rock St Kilda's Greyhound Hotel; the Sand Pebbles and the Roys play Prahran's Duke of Windsor; the Mystaken are at the Vic in Brunswick; Grand Salvo and Henry Wagons play Northcote's Wesley Anne; and Peeping Tom and Hoss rock the Tote, Collingwood.
Tomorrow, Riff Random rock Ding Dong, city; Bird Blobs shake the Tote; and Dave Hogan's Meltdown play Fitzroy's Rainbow from 4pm, while exciting up-and-comers the Emergency, the Rich and Sparrow Hill help launch the SBS Whatever Sessions 2 album at Fitzroy's Empress. On Sunday, the Spoils are at the North Melbourne Town Hall Hotel and Sally Ford and the Pachuco Playboys play Prahran's Belgian Beer Cafe from 4pm. On Tuesday, Blacklevel Embassy and Legends of Motorsport headline Rock Against Work at the Tote. On Wednesday, Hayden plays the Empress Hotel, Fitzroy; Andy Baylor's Xmas Blues Party is at Fitzroy's Rainbow Hotel; Her Majesty's Finest play Ding Dong; and Sticky Carpet guest-DJs from 10pm at Outlaw Hard'n'Fast at South Yarra's Moser Room. On Thursday, catch Rocket Science and the Drones in a monster rock bash at the Prince, St Kilda.

The CRPF on Wednesday indicated that there could have been a mistake by its officials in defusing an IED in Bihar's Aurangabad district, which left three of its personnel dead and seven others injured.
However, CRPF chief Dilip Trivedi dismissed any shortcomings in the evacuation of one of its jawans, whose heart-wrenching appeal to save him was flashed across television channels and social media platforms.
"Our officers have come back (from Bihar) after investigations. The information I have is that there is no such lapse (in evacuating the injured).
Also, maybe it can be said there could have been a slight mistake or lapse in handling the IED but it can be human error," Trivedi said.
"Even experts commit mistakes but it is important to see that our men went on a mission of national security…and we should not be doubtful about someone who has sacrificed his life," Trivedi added on Wednesday.

In late December 2010 i fractured my nose, leaving it slightly dispaced and the septum slightly displaced. On January 10th i had closed reduction surgery to reset my nose. I did not correct the septum. 7 months later, it is uncomfortable to wear glasses and the tip of my nose is tingly and painful when touched. Why would this be? Thanks in advance for your help.

MJ's father Joe denies beating him as child

But in a new TV interview with America"s Chris Connelly, Joe Jackson denied that he punished his children more severely than other parents did. "Michael was never beat as they call it. And everyone spanked their kids when they did wrong. But not beat," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
And Jackson insisted that it was his wife Katherine who handed out the spankings to their kids, as he was away on business most of the time. "Katherine spanked Michael more than I did, 'cause I was working two jobs and she was at home with him the most," he added.

Wayne college grad, classmate takes detour into entrepreneurship
At 22 years old, two recent New Jersey university graduates are working to establish themselves as entrepreneurs in the health care field, as many of their peers — faced with a still-recovering jobs market — head toward earning advanced degrees or securing full-time employment.
Samantha Music of Wayne and Kerri Killen of Cranford, who graduated in May with biomedical engineering degrees from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, created Versor Inc. this summer, after patenting their innovative spine-imaging device with Stevens.
Then in the fall, the pair won a statewide business start-up competition, beating out 77 contestants to earn $7,500, which they will use to create prototypes and work toward getting the device approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The duo created the device for their final year design class with a third classmate, the help of a professor and a $1,000 stipend to find a solution for people who need multiple X-rays after receiving spinal surgery, exposing them to harmful radiation, Music said.
After spinal procedures patients need to get X-rays at least three times. Each session requires six X-rays to capture different angles of mobility. Their device measures these dimensions at the same time, reducing radiation exposure, Music said.
"We said, 'We have to continue pushing this. We have a patent. We can't just let it sit there,' " said Music, Versor's chief operating officer who works from her home in Wayne.
The young women are part of a growing number of entrepreneurs and self-employed workers. There were just under 9 million self-employed workers in November 2012, up from 8.6 million last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A report from Babson College and Baruch College released in November also showed that U.S. entrepreneurship turned around in 2011 after dropping during the recession, with about 29 million adults starting and running new ventures, a 60 percent jump from 2010.
For now, both are forgoing salaries until they can secure funds through grants and investors. But they got some help this fall from Rising Tide Capital, a Jersey City-based non-profit that aims to cultivate start-up businesses and entrepreneurs, by winning its statewide business pitch competition — the Start Something Challenge.
Alfa Demmellash, Rising Tide Capital's chief executive officer, said the goal of the competition, in its second year, was to "really encourage young innovators and people who don't have a lot of business experience, but who are willing to take a risk and try new ways of doing things."
Music and Killen stood out because they were solving a practical problem in health care, a job-creating industry, and they did not envision becoming entrepreneurs, Demmellash said.
Eventually, they plan to adapt their device to be used for different joints, and possibly sell their invention to another company to manufacture, said Killen, the company's chief financial officer who also has two part-time jobs.
When Killen and Music arrived at Stevens, both thought they would head off to full-time jobs in health care or seek advanced degrees, like most of their peers.
"Starting your own company right out of college, having your own patent — it would be silly not to pursue it," Music said.

Famous UK artist INSA has announced a one-of-kind collaboration with EVISU and with the assistance of Lady Gaga's designer, Alex Noble, taking the theme of fetishism to the extreme in the one-off novelty piece: a sumptuously crafted denim dominatrix bodysuit.
INSA comments: "It's a mix of fashion, fetish and art, pushing the idea of a commodity seen as a fetishised object - in this case, luxury denim - and using the material as an expression of this. It was a true pleasure to collaborate on the novelty piece with designer Alex Noble -who has created items for Lady Gaga among others - I feel we both understand the sublimation of extreme fashion to artistic expression."
INSA has been the artistic direction behind new EVISU Wellington Street concept store's edgy design and his trademark 'graffiti fetish' pattern can be seen on the ground and first floor.INSA is a fine artist and designer who has established himself from a graffiti background through extensive street level work and gallery shows around the world.INSA's world is one where art, product, graffiti, fetishism, and desire collide. Interesting when fused with and inspired by the EVISU ethos.
In addition to the installation, INSA has created a limited edition capsule collection for EVISU using his own unique graffiti street style and love of colour in his interpretation. The collection sees INSA return to themes that have always played a central part in his work as an artist - the analogy between consumerism and fetishisation of products, and the desire money creates. INSA believes it transfixes people and often binds us as a society. It's this idea that evoked details such as the silk scarf, the keyring clip and hidden gold chain details - all references to the ropes in Shibari.
INSA comments on his collection: "For me, colour can symbolise love and desire; so for the 'Gents Slim' a luxury-lined and printed jean, the brazen colour pattern is concealed - almost secretive. Contrastingly, the Couples Set is all about ostentatious colour, with the jean exterior drenched in rich paint. I like the idea of matching your outfit to your partner, it's audacious, but it's playful too. I tried to incorporate those attitudes into the set."
EVISU, the original denim brand to introduce denim wearers across the globe to premium-quality Japanese selvedge denim and custom distressing, has opened its first ever five story concept store on Wellington Street, Central.
CEO David Pun comments: "We invited INSA to be involved with developing the design of the new Wellington Street concept store because of his attitude and beliefs. He fits well with the traditions of EVISU; craftsmanship, design, moderninity. INSA's artwork is internationally recognized and we are proud to host his first ever Hong Kong exhibition and of course, have the legacy of his designs as part of our store decor."
The INSA exhibition will be available to visit from September 6th 2013 at EVISU, 3F, 60 Wellington Street, Central.

For the semester's final meeting of the 19th Century US History Workshop—Friday, December 6th, at 2pm—we welcome Nancy Shoemaker, professor of history at University of Connecticut and presently a NEH Long-term Fellow at the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Shoemaker has written and edited pathbreaking volumes in American Indian history, and has recently been investigating Native American participation in the New England whaling industry. This work has led to a more general study of cross-cultural encounters in the Pacific, and a new book project entitled "Pursuing Respectability in the Cannibal Isles: Americans in Nineteenth-Century Fiji."
For our discussion, Shoemaker has provided excerpts from preliminary chapters. Please write to firstname.lastname@example.com for the paper.
