RASP is a domain-independent, robust parsing system for English. It is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. For ease of installation, the system comes with binaries for widespread unix architectures (Intel-32bit and -64bit Linux and MacOSX), and also as source code. An "industrial-strength" version with auxiliary tools, XML functionality, Unicode handling etc is available separately, under a commercial licence agreement through the company iLexIR.
The development of RASP was partially funded by EU and UK research projects and fellowships, most notably the EPSRC-funded project Robust Accurate Statistical Parsing (RASP). Since the end of that project it has continued to be extended and enhanced on an on-going basis.
An informal description of the RASP system is online, with examples of system output. The first public release of the system was in January 2002; the second release (RASPv2) was available only via a licensing procedure; the third release of RASP is now available for download, under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
Note that the system does not currently run on MS Windows.
September 2012: version 3.1 of RASP is now available.
March 2011: the third release of RASP is now available, under an open source license.
January 2009: the parser binary for 32-bit Linux in the second release of RASP has started to give the error message
We have a (slightly unsatisfactory) fix for this problem, and we are working urgently on a new release. Until then, please run RASP on a different architecture; if this is not possible thenLisp has expired. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for a new license file.
This new version of the parser binary prints some diagnostic messages on startup and may give slightly different parse results to the other binaries; we hope this does not cause problems.
Spring 2007: if you are running the second release of RASP on a Linux system based on Fedora Core 6 and get the error message
then edit the file scripts/rasp.sh to replacetag/ix86_linux/label: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$RASP/tag/database/${arch}; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Autumn 2006: we hope to add binaries for MacOSX on PowerPC and Intel soon.
June 2006: second public release. If you are a current user of RASP we will be notifying you by email about the new release.
Summer 2004: if you are running the first release of RASP on a recently upgraded Linux system and see the following error message
then please download the second release.gde/ix86_linux/libacli612.so: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
January 2002: the first public release of the parsing toolkit is now available.

The action suspended flights out of Beirut airport for seven hours, while most public transport staff stayed home and companies and government offices were closed.
The strikers congregated outside the cabinet offices, where the government was debating the 2004 budget, carrying banners with slogans such as "workers. farmers and teachers say no to hunger".
Lebanon is facing crippling public debts of more than $32bn, amid bickering between ministers and factions which has slowed the pace of privatisation and cost-cutting to a crawl.
The budget for next year has little room for extra social spending, and raises value added tax for the second time in three years.
The unions and some political parties are calling for lower taxes and more welfare spending in the face of unemployment which tops 20%.
They say more transparent accounting in government would pay for the changes.
Leaders of the General Labour Confederation (CGTL) point out that the government owes 270bn Lebanese pounds ($180m; £105m) to the welfare system already, and warn that maternity and sickness benefit would have to stop at the end of the year unless the deficit were paid.
"Political squabbling within the government is nothing but an excuse to fill their friends' pockets at our expense," one striking taxi driver told Agence France-Press.
Prime Minister Rafik Hariri said he sympathised with the strikers' demands.
But he said cutting spending was the only way to tackle the tattered economy, and warned that ministers were still trying to tack on extra spending which would inflate the budget deficit beyond its present sky-high 37%.

British Prime Minister David Cameron says Britain is working with allies on plans for a no-fly zone over Libya, the Associated Press reports.
Cameron did not say whether that meant that the U.K. or its allies are moving to ban Libyan aircraft from flying immediately or simply making plans in case the situation there escalated.
He told British lawmakers Monday that he did not "in any way" rule out the use of military force.
Al-Jazeera TV quotes the former head of Libyan Special Forces as saying he is not ruling out calling in foreign air support but says he does not support the use of foreign ground troops.

I'm comfortable with my body and even walk around butt naked in my bachelor's pad. I even hear my neighbors giggling every time I go out wearing just my white briefs just to get the papers and mails.
My nosy neighbors also count all the girls I take home at my pad because some of them see our butt nudes banging at each other on my balcony. They would tell me they had a great live show last night. I forgot I was out there having sex with a chick. Oops naked again and that happens to me every time I get horny. I don't care where I was and immediately take off my clothes and bang a girl.
My life was disrupted when my mom asked me a favor by letting her friend's daughter to stay at my place until she finds her own pad. She moved to NY for a new job, but still got no place to stay. It really sucks because I have to fix up my place and no more butt nudes for me and my chicks.
When she got there, I told her to take my guest room and I also told her the house rules. I went to a party that night and was about to take home a girl, but I remembered I have a guest at my place so I just banged the girl in my car. When I woke up the next day, I still had a hangover and forgot I was butt naked. I walked in the kitchen to get coffee and she was staring at my hard cock. I asked her what she was looking at and then she pointed at my cock. LOL. Oops naked! I did it again and I ran to the room and I can hear her laughing at me. I was glad that she was cool with that and she said she also gets naked in her place before. I asked her if she wanted to get naked with me and she said: "Dream on". Fuck, I hope I can get a score on her someday.

The Reds plan to tread lightly with Aroldis Chapman. As the pitcher transitions from closing to starting, Reds pitching coach Bryan Price told the Cincinnati Enquirer that the club intends on implementing an innings limit for Chapman. Last season, the 24-year-old compiled a 5-5 record, a 1.51 ERA and 38 saves through 71 2/3 innings en route to earning an All-Star selection. But Price hasn't identified a target number of innings given Chapman's newfound workload –– yet. "I don't think there's an absolute," Price said. "You have to have a plan and hope [it] works. Any time you have a young pitcher and he's going to surpass his inning total, there's going to be questions if he gets hurt. We can't be scared of that." "I'd like to see where he is in terms of innings and pitchers after 25 or 30 starts." The Reds finally have the flexibility to move Chapman –– who's infamously known for throwing 105 mph –– to the rotation after inking Jonathan Broxton to a three-year, $21 million deal to close for the club. Price plans to consult Reds general manager Walt Jocketty, manager Dusty Baker and assistant pitching coach Mack Jenkins to create a concrete plan heading into spring training. In the meantime, he hopes Chapman continues to develop his secondary pitches. "He's got that slider — and it's a good one," Price said. "But when you go 20, 30 pitches and only throw one or two, it goes backward. And it did. He has to get sharper with that pitch. He also has to use the change-up and the cut fastball." Either way, the Reds won't hold Chapman to a tight leash like the Nationals' strict innings limit with young ace Stephen Strasburg. Photo via Facebook/Aroldis Chapman

Internet Learning Journal
Online ISSN: 2325-0585
The Policy Studies Organization in conjunction with American Public University System and APUS ePress, publish a peer-reviewed journal, Internet Learning.
Can a growing number of students in distance education reach such levels that conventional education is permanently changed? Does online education reflect the current economic crisis? Are faculty becoming less and less conventional, while adjunct ranks swell still further? Is "education by Skype" potentially more effective than time honored lectures in a classroom? What is working in online education? How will online education influence primary and secondary instruction, and what is its future in developing countries? What are some of the most effective tools and technologies? And what are the challenges?
The journal welcomes a multidisciplinary approach and papers on all aspects of the electronic learning revolution and the challenges and dilemmas it presents. Topics may include but are not limited to: innovative learning and teaching practices, instructional design, and the use of technology and multimedia resources. Articles on online pedagogy, as well as examples of "mixed" online and conventional teaching are welcome.

|Long-term inter-annual variability of a cyclonic gyre in the western Irish Sea
|Agnieszka I. Olbert, Michael Hartnett, Tomasz Dabrowski, Uwe Mikolajewicz, 2011
|The western Irish Sea gyre (WISG) is a cyclonic baroclinic flow around a dome of stagnant water which develops each year during the heating season in the western Irish Sea. Research was carried out to determine long-term changes in the strength of stratification within WISG and associated changes in the gyre structure, circulation patterns and retentive properties. Model simulations were carried out for the 58-year period 1951–2008. The characteristics of the gyre were quantified by means of potential energy anomaly (PEA), measuring the strength of stratification, and total kinetic energy (KE), reflecting the strength of cyclonic circulation. Additionally, long-term changes in flushing rates within the gyre were assessed. Results show that stratification in the western Irish Sea consistently begins to develop in March, increases linearly from April till June, peaks at the beginning of July and remains at close to maximum level throughout the month of July, before a start of a sharp decline at the beginning of August. The strength of stratification is significantly correlated with averaged summer air temperatures and summer wind speeds. Trend analysis of PEA shows an increase in the stratification strength over the period considered; the increase of PEA peak value is accompanied by a shortening of the gyre duration and a delay in the timing of the peak value. There is also an increasing trend in the KE value, showing that the thermal stratification plays a crucial role in the hydrography of the region. Flushing analysis shows that the stronger the stratification the lower the residence time and thus the faster the removal of the material from the western Irish Sea. Residence time within WISG shortens on average by 8 days over the 58-year period.

Photodegradation of the brevetoxin PbTx-2 in coastal seawater
Limnol. Oceanogr., 55(6), 2010, 2299-2304 | DOI: 10.4319/lo.2010.55.6.2299
ABSTRACT: The photodegradation rate of the brevetoxin analog PbTx-2 was investigated in a variety of natural water matrices. The observed first-order photodegradation rate coefficient of the logarithmic-transformed dissolved PbTx-2 concentrations vs. irradiation time was 0.20 ± 0.04 h-1 in coastal seawater, corresponding to a half-life of approximately 3 h based on 10 separate photolysis experiments. No loss of PbTx-2 occurred in dark controls, indicating that this was primarily a photo-mediated process. Photodegradation rate coefficients in samples in which dissolved organic matter was removed by ultraviolet oxidation prior to photolysis resulted in significantly slower rates of PbTx-2 photodegradation (0.08 ± 0.03 h-1). When trace metals were also removed prior to photolysis, no loss of PbTx-2 occurred, indicating that direct photolytic loss of PbTx-2 is insignificant in coastal seawater. The proposed mechanism of PbTx-2 decay is a photosensitized pathway involving organic matter and trace metals that is significantly accelerated by decreasing oxygen concentrations. The influence of molecular oxygen on the rate of toxin loss has important ramifications for the fate of PbTx-2 during Karenia brevis blooms, as in situ dissolved O2 concentrations fluctuate widely during bloom development and decay. Sunlight-mediated reactions are therefore a significant, yet previously unrecognized, sink of dissolved PbTx-2 in seawater under environmentally relevant conditions.

Designing User Experience: Business Edition
I've just come back from a fantastic 3 days in Newcastle where I was attending the DIBI (Design It, Build It) conference. There were many fantastic speakers but one of them covered a concept that really got me thinking.
Blasting Expectations Out of The Water
Admittedly I'm a bit biased when it comes to evaluating @Adii's talk at DIBI. I've known him for a few years and I'm a big fan of his work, so he could have talked about pretty much anything and been greeted with my approval. That being said, I did not expect for him to prove to be the most thought-provoking speaker of the day, which is exactly what he turned out to be.
If You Don't Design it, You're Doing it Wrong.
The premise of Adii's talk was simple: you need to design everything, and involve design in your business from the very start. For some designers in the room this didn't resonate, I saw a couple of tweets about "preaching to the converted", but as Adii himself explained at the very start: he was coming from a business angle.
Adii discussed how his company, @WooThemes, don't just design interfaces; they try to design every bit of interaction that a customer will have with them, including customer service. If a customer has a complaint about a product then the way in which that customer is handled is designed for a specific outcome: a happy customer.
Up until now I've always understood UI (User Interface) design and usability, but I've never full appreciated UX (User Experience) design to be something totally separate to both of those things. To be honest I don't think it's my fault, most UX blogs cover usability and accessibility, not user experience.
A Few Examples
Just to make this a little less conceptual, let me give you a couple of examples:
- User Interface Design - A button
- Usability Design - A button which stands out from its surroundings and is easily click-able
- User Experience Design - A button which has your name on it
Function, action, emotion. What Adii was getting at was designing the last part in particular, designing user experience and creating an emotional reaction. Seeing a button with your name on it is familiar, it's easy, it's recognisable. Be honest, how often have you considered the emotion that your user (or customer) will experience? Here's how it applies to WooThemes customer service:
- User Interface Design - A contact form for a user to submit a complaint
- Usability Design - A contact form with only 3 fields that's clearly labelled
- User Experience Design - Having someone respond to the message within 10 minutes with a full refund
Function (it works), Action (it works well), Emotion (it just made me really fucking happy). Here's one last example that shows how this can apply in the offline world:
- Product Design - The original iMac
- Usability Design - Everything is built in, no confusing cables
- User Experience Design - When you open the box, the first thing you see is a handle - to help you lift it out.
That's right, Apple actually changed the design of their entire product just for the sake of the user experience when you open the box and need to lift it out.
Stop Thinking About Interfaces, Start Designing Experiences
I wasn't getting this point all the way up to the end of the talk, when I asked during the Q&A: "What's your opinion on products such as BaseCamp and HighRise by 37Signals, who don't design anything - they just build it and then throw on an interface that works."
Adii's response was instant: (quoting from memory) "The user interface may not have had design at its heart, but the user experience was designed at every single stage - this is what made those products so successful."
It's taken me a full 48 hours to fully appreciate the idea behind what Adii was talking about: the idea of designing user experience.
All of the talks on the Design track of DIBI were excellent (and I'll be discussing them on the next episode of @ExplicitWeb), but for me Adii's was the one that really got me thinking, not about graphics, not about CSS, not about fucking internet explorer. It got my mind working with regards to designing the layer beyond all of that stuff.
Food for thought.

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias™ and Unilever #CBias #SocialFabric
I am really a sucker for brands that I can stand behind 110%. Unilever is one of those brands. My family not only LOVES their products, like their Bertolli Alfredo sauce, but we love their mission to make small changes that make their company more eco friendly.
DIY Vases
My family is all about small lifetstyle changes that help the environment. Being a super busy mom and wife, frankly I don't have time to be religious about living green. (I know you are in shock). One of the reason I write Crunchy Frugalista is to show people how small, manageable changes can make a huge impact towards living a greener lifestyle.
One of my aboslute favorite ways to do this is to repurpose and upcycle objects to serve another purpose. You guys have already seen how I repurposed cereal boxes to make magazine holders. I am also working on repurposing a shoe box and materials I already have into a ribbon dispenser and holder. (Trust me, you are going to want to see that project).
My latest project is to upcycle Bertolli Alfedo jars into homemade vases and home decor! This project is really easy to do, and once you are done no one will even be able to tell what it used to be. It will look like you spent tons of money!
Before I share the project, I want to share the awesome recipe that helped empty those Bertolli jars! Bertolli Alfredo is one of my favorite quick tricks to a quick and easy meal. This week my family and I enjoyed Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with roasted red peppers and seared asparagus. It was absolutely amazing. It was so delicious my family gobbled it up before I could even snag pictures! (Lucky for you I remember how I made it!)
Now that the jars are empty and your tummy is full. Here is a great way to repurpose those Bertolli jar.
- 2 Bertolli Jars cleaned, dried, with labels removed
- Spray primer
- Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun
- Twine
- Metallic Spray Paint
Take both of your jars and make sure they are clean and dry.
Take your first jar and spray paint it with spray primer. Allow it to dry.
Grab your twine and glue gun. Glue the twin around the jar until completely covered. You can either cut it into individual strips or let it swirl all the way to the top. Allow to dry.
With the second jar, take your glue gun and write a word on either side of the jar. I used the word "hope."
Allow the glue to harden. Once it's hard, spray paint with the metallic spray. If you are feeling extra creative embellish the top with ribbon or other decorations to cover the jar threads.

From a press release:

Pirelli's Resurgent Road Racing Presence Continues:

FOLLOWING PODIUM SWEEPS IN SIX ISLE OF MAN TTs,
PIRELLI TIRES REGAIN WORLD SUPERSPORT CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD WITH DRAMATIC WIN AT MISANO

(Rome, GA) With Honda's Fabien Foret again at the helm, Pirelli's DOT Supercorsa race radials re-took the 2002 World Supersport Championship points lead with their third win of the season, at Misano in Italy.

The Pirelli victory was made more meaningful because blistering heat, coupled with a ferocious race pace that saw no fewer than six lead changes and multiple crashes, exacted a heavy toll on tires (prompting the winner to make more than one reference to his Pirellis' performance). The Misano win was sweet revenge for Honda and Foret, who also won the last race in Lausitzring, but who were later disqualified. Misano was also Foret's fourth pole position of the eight rounds thus far.

Pirelli's latest victory comes hot on the heels of its near record-breaking domination of the recently-completed 2002 Isle of Man competition, in which Pirelli-mounted riders swept the podium in six major TTs. On the bikes of such IOM luminaries as David Jeffries, Ian Lougher, John McGuinness, Bruce Anstey and Jim Moodie, Pirelli slicks and DOT Supercorsa radials swept first, second and third places in the Senior TT, Formula 1 TT, 600cc Production TT, 1,000cc Production TT, 600cc Junior TT, and 400cc Lightweight TT.

The Italian tire company's resurgence in road racing was also amplified by its shattering of three IOM lap records. Jeffries, the reigning TT master, crushed his own Senior TT lap record by a staggering 21.6 seconds and his outright lap record by over 5 seconds. In the 600cc
Production TT, Jeffries' TAS Suzuki teammate, Ian Lougher set a new class lap record of 120.25 mph.

Pirelli's 2002 racing accomplishments are attracting a fair share of attention on this side of the Atlantic as well. Lee Acree and his Supercorsa-equipped Arclight Suzuki currently hold an 11-point championship lead in AMA Superstock a series in which the company is not even officially participating. And Pirelli leads both Formula USA's Pro Sportbike and Buell Lightning championship points with Michael Barnes.

For what it's worth to pavement people, Pirelli also currently holds all three of the top World Motocross championship points positions in both the 250cc and 500cc classes, with current champions Mickael Pichon leading 250cc and Stefan Everts the 500cc class, after seven of 12 rounds.

For complete information on the entire line of Pirelli motorcycle tires, ask your dealer to contact Parts Unlimited, or the company directly at its new North American address: PIRELLI MOTORCYCLE TIRE DIVISION, P.O. Box 700, Rome, GA, 30162-7000. Main Phone: (706) 368-5826; Fax: (706) 368-5832.

ACLU and Southern Coalition for Social Justice File Challenge to North Carolina's Voter Suppression Law
GREENSBORO, N.C. –The American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of North Carolina Legal Foundation, and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice today filed a lawsuit challenging North Carolina's voter suppression law signed hours ago by Gov. Pat McCrory. The suit specifically targets provisions of the law that eliminate a week of early voting, end same-day registration, and prohibit "out-of-precinct" voting. It seeks to stop North Carolina from enacting these provisions, arguing that they would unduly burden the right to vote and discriminate against African-American voters, in violation of the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of several North Carolinians who will face substantial hardship under the law, and on behalf of the League of Women Voters of North Carolina, the North Carolina A. Philip Randolph Institute, North Carolina Common Cause, and Unifour Onestop Collaborative, whose efforts to promote voter participation in future elections will be severely hampered if the measure takes effect.
"This law is a disaster. Eliminating a huge part of early voting will cut off voting opportunities for hundreds of thousands of citizens. It will turn Election Day into a mess, shoving more voters into even longer lines," said Dale Ho, director of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project. "Florida similarly eliminated a week of early voting before the 2012 election, and we all know how that turned out – voters standing in line for hours, some having to wait until after the president's acceptance speech to finally vote, and hundreds of thousands giving up in frustration. Those burdens fell disproportionately on African-American voters, and the same thing will happen in North Carolina. We should be making it easier for people to vote, not harder."
North Carolinians use early voting in vast numbers. During the 2012 election, 2.5 million ballots were cast during the early voting period, representing more than half the total electorate. More than 70 percent of African-American voters utilized early voting during the 2008 and 2012 general elections.
For many voters, the choice is between early voting or not voting at all. Early voting provides flexibility in finding time to vote and significantly eases the burden of arranging transportation to a voting site. This is particularly critical for low-income voters, who are more likely to have hourly-wage jobs that don't afford them the time to get to the polls on Election Day or during common work hours. Work, combined with child-care responsibilities, places great demands on voters living in poverty. Poverty in North Carolina is higher among African Americans, meaning a reduction in early voting opportunities will disproportionately impact voters of color.
"Today's lawsuit is about ensuring that all voters are able to participate in the political process," said Allison Riggs, staff attorney for the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. "Taken together, the new restrictions in this law will disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of eligible voters, depriving many of our most vulnerable citizens from being able to easily exercise a constitutional right. Additionally, the Voting Rights Act prohibits the state from implementing voting changes that will make it harder for black voters to cast a ballot—and that's exactly what this law does."
Eliminating same-day registration and out-of- precinct voting also imposes hardship and silences the people's voice. In recent elections, North Carolinians could register, or update their registration information and vote, in one trip to an early voting site. In both 2008 and 2012, approximately 250,000 people did so. African Americans disproportionately relied on same day registration in both elections. The new law eliminates this opportunity to register, effectively disenfranchising tens of thousands.
As for out-of precinct voting, for over a decade voters who accidentally cast a ballot in the wrong precinct could still expect to have their votes counted for races such as governor and president. If this law takes effect, those votes would be void.
"This law is a blatant attempt to make it harder for and dissuade many North Carolinians from registering and casting a ballot. As we have seen in other states, drastic cuts to early voting hours will result in longer lines and have a disproportionate impact on our state's most marginalized citizens, especially the low-income, elderly, and disabled who rely on early voting," said Chris Brook, legal director for the ACLU of North Carolina Legal Foundation.
The case, League of Women Voters of North Carolina et al. v. North Carolina, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.
The ACLU and SCSJ will hold a press conference with plaintiffs tomorrow morning in Greensboro to discuss the lawsuit.
- WHAT: Press conference to explain challenge to North Carolina's voter suppression law
- WHEN: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at 11 a.m.
- WHERE: The International Civil Rights Center and Museum, 134 S Elm Street, Greensboro, NC, 27401

TROY -- Questions are being raised by one councilman after negotiations between Judge Development and the city broke down regarding a $50 million deal to redevelop One Monument Square.
Councilman Mark McGrath, R-District 2, is questioning the negotiation skills of the Mayor Lou Rosamilia administration after the city for the second time ceased negotiations with a developer for the former City Hall site.
After the city expressed issues with the former Mayor Harry Tutunjian's plan to include 60 percent subsidized housing at the site, the Richman Group and Nigro Companies, who won the bid for the project, pulled out. The city then put the project out to bid again but only received one from Judge Development, which is owned by Sam Judge.
"[The city] expected five to six bids on the project and only got one," McGrath said. "What makes them think it will be more this time?"
Both the administration and the Judge camp have declined to disclose the details as to why negotiations were terminated, though Rosamilia had previously stated financing is always a concern with a project of this magnitude.
The city has said they are working to put together and issue a request for qualifications. Rosamilia said it will allow the city to pose questions regarding the project for the prospective developer to answer.
"They must demonstrate the ability to meet those qualifications of the RFQ," Rosamilia said. "Once they respond to that, it allows us to bring those individuals in, a smaller group of them, and discuss how to go forward."
Issuing an RFQ, according to Rosamilia, would allow the city and the developer to have a more free flowing discussion about their individual visions for the site and figure out what would be the best use for it. Rosamilia also said the city felt putting out an RFQ would potentially attract more developers as it wasn't as intense or extensive as a request for proposals. The RFQ has yet to be drafted.
"Once we put that together it will be public," Rosamilia said. "Internally, we want to get it done as soon as possible. It's being worked on now."
Still, McGrath said he has some serious reservations regarding the negotiation skills of the administration and felt residents have the right to know what went wrong between the city and Judge.
"They are saying this is going to benefit the entire City of Troy and I think the residents would like to know what's going to happen and what happened the last time where it broke down," McGrath said. "We all, as residents of the city, have the right to know what went on, what went wrong and maybe figure out how not to do it again."
Rosamilia said the project was a very important one as it involves street access and riverfront access and said he believed developers will want to help the city in the redevelopment process.
"Obviously, the whole concept of One Monument Square is very important to us," Rosamilia said. "It's a high priority and I am confident developers will want to help in the transformation of the waterfront."

Doc Rivers makes his weekly appearance with D&C to discuss the victory over the Raptors last night. Doc liked the flow of the offense and thinks his team is getting closer to being in shape. Doc also touches on Rondo's wrist injury. How serious is it?

Bloodclot! Seeks Record Label
New York hardcore all-stars, Bloodclot! have hit the streets running. The band boasts members of The Cro-Mags, Biohazard, Pro-Pain and Merauder.
Vocalist John Joseph (Cro-Mags) describes the band's sound best. "I don't want to lock it into any categories. There are hardcore and metal qualities, punk rock qualities, even some fusion in certain parts. It's just heavy music, with a heavy message."
The band is currently seeking a record deal with their self-produced debut, "Burn Babylon Burn." Setting a new standard in hardcore, Bloodclot! maintains a positive focus, preserving the tenets of unity central to the classic ethos. And true to the classic punk-rock DIY vibe, they also wrote and recorded everything together in drummer Danny Schuler's (Biohazard) studio, with no outside influence, financially or otherwise.
"We set out to create a piece of music that would last forever, and reflect the turbulent times we're living in," explains Schuler. "The only way to do that was to believe in each other and do it completely by ourselves. We lived every second of this record, we trusted our instincts, and worked our asses off to get it done. We made this record with absolutely no regard for what is popular right now. We listened to ourselves, dug deep, and created the record we wanted to hear."
Even the band's name itself possesses an important meaning. "In Jamaican, the word 'bloodclot' is a curse that describes everything being fucked up. It's a 'bloodclot' situation, what's happening on the planet, who's running things through deception and lies, and we need to fix it," continues Joseph.
If anyone can make a change through music, it's these five individuals with over 100 years combined experience in hardcore. In the end, Bloodclot! will make an impact. John exclaims, "We live this, every single day, that's why it comes off authentic, because it 'IS' real."
You can hear some music samples on the band's MySpace page.
Bloodclot! is:
John Joseph (Cro-Mags) – vocals
Scott Roberts (Biohazard) – guitar
Eric Klinger (Pro-Pain) – guitar
Rick Lopez (Merauder) – bass
Danny Schuler (Biohazard) – drums

Built Upon Frustration Set To Release New CD
Pro-Pain guitarist, Eric Klinger, gears up to release his hardcore band's third CD, "The Book of Mourning" via Da' Core Records on September 29th.
Since the release of 2003's "Resurrected," Pittsburgh 's Built Upon Frustration have made the gradual ascension to the top of the hardcore metal heap. A bevy of live shows, highlighted by the band's unrelenting brutality and now infamous beatdowns has garnered the band a devoted following, one that should devour their latest offering, "The Book Of Mourning." A near flawless display of hardcore metal, BUF finds itself at a unique position in the hardcore scene, able to cull from both crowds without losing any credibility. Highlighted by tracks like "Perish" and "Drowning In Disgust," longtime fans will make instant note of the more predominant metal influence, something that guitarist and founding member Derek Kovacs is well aware of.
"This disc is a little more metal, but it's still hard," begins Kovacs. "There will be some guys who may want to hear more 2-step parts, but they will be wrecking people when we play. People into metal will accept this disk more than "Resurrected." Even though Resurrected was a heavy record, it was more on the hardcore side of things. A band has to grow and evolve or people (and the band) get bored. Who wants to hear the same album over and over again? I think The Book of Mourning will set us on our way to gain popularity with both metal and hardcore fans. I also like the fact that even though the material is a little different, you know it's Built Upon Frustration." More...
Pro-Pain Frontman Arrested
According to the web site of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, PRO-PAIN frontman and CRUMBSUCKERS bassist Gary Meskil was arrested in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 23 on a battery charge. Gary and some of the other members of the CRUMBSUCKERS were allegedly involved in a fight at the Paddy Wagon Irish pub in Sarasota, Florida after a night of rehearsal for their upcoming reunion show and Meskil was placed under arrest at 2:49 a.m., according to the official Sarasota County Sheriff's Office arrest report. Gary was booked at 4:54 a.m. and his bond was set at $750. He was released at 6:44 a.m.
Original Faith No More Singer Resurfaces
Original Faith No More singer, Chuck Mosley, has resurfaced in a group called Vandals Against Illiteracy (V.U.A.). "The album we're working on and trying to finish is called 'Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food'," Mosley tells Billboard.com. "It's more kind of my style -- more noisiness, but there's some rapping over hard rock. There's more screaming and singing -- some short punk rock songs, some harder ones, acoustic jammies."
Although the Mike Patton-led line up of Faith No More conquered the charts, it was the Chuck Mosley-led incarnation that made the group a college radio favorite during the mid to late 1980s. But apart from a pair of short-lived gigs -- fronting Bad Brains and '90s alt-rockers Cement -- Mosley has stayed largely out of the spotlight.
Joining Mosley in V.U.A. is Cobra Verde guitarist Tim Parnin, bassist Ed Stevens, and "A guy named Eric. I can't remember his last name, he plays drums -- he was in Pro-Pain," he says. In addition to handling vocals, Mosley also supplies some guitar.
With Mosley at the helm, Faith No More became one of the '80s' leading underground bands on the strength of 1985's "We Care a Lot" and 1987's "Introduce Yourself." Despite exiting the group in 1988 under less-than-friendly circumstances, the Ohio-based Mosley is now friendly with most of his former FNM bandmates. In fact, keyboardist Roddy Bottum appears on the new album's remake of the title track from "We Care a Lot."
"He put keyboards on it. We have the original going in the background, so you get the other guys on the chorus and Roddy's organ sound," Mosley says. "But we play it slower, so it's matched up to them, and we do our version over that. And all new lyrics -- way more updated."
Other tracks to appear on the album are are "Tractor," "Punk Rock Movie," "The Enabler" and "Sophie," named after Mosley's youngest daughter. "It's a 'baby ballad,'" he says.
V.U.A. has already played live gigs, but Mosley took the band off the road until the forthcoming debut is completed. "Hopefully it will be out this year," he says. Label and distribution deals are pending.
Crumbsuckers To Reunite For Anniversary Show
Legendary New York hardcore/metal act CRUMBSUCKERS will be reuniting for a special show to mark the 20th anniversary of their classic "Life of Dreams" release. Original members Chris Notaro (vocals), Chuck Lenihan (guitar; GENITORTURERS), Gary Meskil (bass; PRO-PAIN) and Dan Richardson (drums; LIFE OF AGONY, PRO-PAIN, STEREOMUD) will be accompanied by an as-yet-undetermined second guitarist for a reunion concert in New York City this summer.
"Over the past week, I have been in close contact with my old bandmates via phone and e-mail," Meskil confirmed. "I'm happy to say that all are optimistic and xcited about a CRUMBSUCKERS reunion."
"At this point we are still in the early planning stages, but we intend to play a special 'Life Of Dreams' 20th anniversary reunion concert in NYC this summer (date and venue to be announced), which will certainly be a lot of fun."
CRUMBSUCKERS released two full-length albums through the Combat label — 1986's "Life of Dreams" and 1988's "Beast On My Back" — before finally calling it a day in the early 90's. Several members embarked on a melodic metal venture called HEAVY RAIN, but that band was short-lived. The rhythm section of Meskil and Richardson went on to PRO-PAIN, while Chuck Lenihan ended up with GENITORTURERS.
New Pro-Pain Album Due This Year
Florida-based metal/hardcore legends PRO-PAIN are currently writing material for a new album, due before the end of the year. The band have tentative plans to play concerts in Greece, Romania, Holland, and other select markets in April, before entering the studio in late spring/early summer to begin recording the new CD. Extensive tours of Europe and the U.S. in support of the new CD are planned for later in the year.
In other news, PRO-PAIN will be included on an upcoming DVD release of DIE BÖHSE ONKELZ' farewell concerts at Eurospeedway/Lausitzring. PRO-PAIN will be featured in the form of three live tracks ("Make War Not Love", "Shine" and "Terpentin") and an interview.
Also on the PRO-PAIN-related front, the group's drummer J.C. Dwyer will marry his fiancée Jamie Burnett in May.
PRO-PAIN's most recent studio album, "Prophets of Doom", was released in June 2005 via Candlelight Records.

Twitter has priced its hotly anticipated initial public offering at $US17 to $US20 a share in a deal that could value the company at up to $US11 billion.
Twitter said it would sell 70 million shares. If those are sold, the underwriters can buy an additional 10.5 million shares.
The price range is lower than Twitter's most recent prices on the secondary market. Shares there were trading at between $US26 and $US28. Twitter issued shares for restricted stock units in August for $US20.62.
Now that Twitter has set the price range, it can begin pitching the deal to investors.
Twitter could hit the road to shop the IPO as soon as Monday. It's during the road show that investors request how many shares they want and at what price.
The company will probably face a tougher crowd than Facebook did. Among the challenges confronting Twitter: whether it can stanch losses and turn a profit and whether it can continue to grow in popularity with users.
Published reports say Twitter is aiming to price its offering on November 6 and begin trading the following day. Twitter will trade under the ticker symbol "TWTR" on the New York Stock Exchange.
Twitter officially filed its IPO documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month. At the time, it used $US1 billion as a placeholder.
Twitter filed its plans for an IPO confidentially under the JOBS Act in July. It made that filing public in early October.

Frost & Sullivan Names IBM North American Market Leader for Managed Security Services
Maria Arbas on 08 15, 2010
Today announced that it is the recipient of the Frost & Sullivan 2010 North American Market Leadership of the Year Award(1) for its ability to enhance and maintain the most market share among managed security service providers (MSSPs). IBM received the honor for its continued strong foothold in the highly fragmented enterprise market, with more than 15 percent share, according to the report by Frost & Sullivan, an information technology consulting firm.
The report also stated IBM demonstrated more than double-digit growth in 2009, and continues to gain traction as a result of the company's broad portfolio of device management and cloud-based managed security services, strong consulting abilities and integrated services.
Frost & Sullivan honored IBM as a recipient of this award based on key performance drivers, including its strong brand name and the ability to help lower cost of ownership and demonstrate compliance. Other drivers included IBM X-Force® research and development team capabilities and the continued maintenance and development of a solid portfolio and channel partner network.
"In terms of market presence, IBM has a strong penetration in the Enterprise segment," said Frost & Sullivan research analyst Martha Vazquez. "Through offering a lucrative partnership to resellers, the company will continue to expand into new markets globally. Along with a substantial financial backbone, brand reputation and global reach, the company has been able to remain a leading competitor in the enterprise market."
With the increasing complexity of security infrastructures and threats, as well as cost control and compliance continuing to drive the MSSP marketplace, Frost & Sullivan found that businesses are looking to reduce risk while meeting operational objectives in the current economy. The report noted that MSSP vendors are under extreme pressure to offer these services.
"IBM remains focused on providing a breadth of device and cloud-based managed security services with strong consulting and integration capabilities," said Marisa Viveros, vice president, IBM Security Services. "We are continuously developing and offering new services that help our customers to use security as a business enabler and competitive differentiator."

Through product offerings, professional security services and managed security services, IBM provides flexibility and breadth of solutions as a trusted security partner.

Inheritance of an Exposed Stigma Mutant in Alfalfa, Medicago Sativa L.1
- R. Markus and
- C. P. Wilsie22
Tetrasomic inheritance of a single factor difference was postulated to explain F2 and backcross ratios from a cross involving normal × exposed stigma. Forty eight Fi plants were normal. Of 17 F2 progenies, 9 segregated approximately 35:1 and 8, approximately 3:1. Respective backcross; ratios were 5:1 and 1:1. Deviations from expected ratios indicated a deficiency of recessive genotypes, due possibly to partial selection against recessive gametes.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Earlier this week we saw photos of Britney Spears and her fellow judges in San Francisco, CA for a round of public auditions for The X Factor. Today we get to check out a really cool interview with our dear Britney about her role as judge. There has been a lot of talk about Britney's judging capabilities but, at last, Brit goes on the record to speak for herself. Click below to watch the video and see what you think of Britney Spears as a judge on The X Factor.
As The X Factor's new crop of judges travels the country in search of talented singers for the competition's second season, Britney Spears has proved to be a tough judge who isn't immune to the intense moments of emotional auditions. "I think I'm a fair judge," says Spears, 30, who spoke after the show's San Francisco stop. "Sometimes it's hard because I know what they've been through and being so young and [wanting to] achieving their dreams." The superstar says she tries to be honest yet gentle with contestants, whose musical aspirations are on the line. "It's such a subtle and delicate situation when they're that young," she says, "so you just have to use constructive criticism and be there for them and just show them support." As for her tough side, Spears says "tough" is a relative term. "I don't think I'm the toughest judge at all," she says. "I definitely think Simon would have to be the toughest judge." So what does it take to impress Spears? "I'm really just looking for [someone who] shows spark and spunk and someone that's meant to do what they're doing and it shows."
This is a great clip. I think a lot of people are going to be pleasantly surprised when the new season of The X Factor debuts this September. I have a good feeling that Britney will bring a fun element to the show and I cannot wait to see her in action. Anyone who knows me knows that I have zero interest in these kinds of competitive singing reality shows … but the inclusion of Britney Spears as judge makes The X Factor must-watch for me. I can't WAIIIIITTTTTT!!! I hope we get to see more video clips like this because, as I said, I know many people will be impressed with what Britney has to offer.0
