Answer is Still No
Voices of Pipeline Resistance
Edited by Paul Bowles, Henry Veltmeyer
The Answer Is Still No is an important, urgent book that compiles interviews with people who live along the route of the proposed Enbridge pipeline in Northern British Columbia. The oil pipeline and supertankers —linking the tar sands of Alberta to the demand of the growing Asian market— are a key component of Canada's strategy of natural resource extraction. But for the people living along the proposed pipeline route, Enbridge poses a massive environmental risk, which threatens their way of life. This edited collection takes the passionate words and voices of twelve citizens and activists and results in one powerful position when it comes to blind economic development at the expense of our environment and communities: The answer is still "no.

In defense of evolutionary psychology, part 2: adaptationism and the reason human brains are so big
So in the first post of this series, I quoted the editors of The Adapted Mind as saying in effect that we can assume complex features of the human mind are evolutionary adaptations.

So I was innocently surfing the Interwebs a few weeks back, fighting for truth, privacy, and the Internet way, when I got an email alerting me to a direct message from a friend I hadn't spoken to in years.
It was strange on several levels (and so is my friend – but I digress). The first strange bit was the message itself, which made no sense: "heh u didn't see them tapping u." OK, fine, whatever.
Strangeness no. 2: It showed an alleged Facebook link. Rolling over the link with my cursor showed a truncated URL using Twitter's T.co service at the bottom of my browser – which would be OK, except that the URL didn't start with http or https.
Something smelled a little phishy to me. So, being stupid, I clicked on it. That took me to the following fake Facebook login page.
Gee Toto, I don't think we're on Facebook anymore. The URL at the top of the screen leads to a subdomain at some site calling itself Twitterwink.info. Immediately it becomes clear that whoever is running this scam a) isn't very bright, and b) is hoping I am also not very bright.
OK, I thought, this is simple enough: It's a phishing scam designed to steal my Facebook login credentials. So I entered some gibberish into both fields, just to see what would happen. (I told you I was stupid.) Here's what came up next:
So this was a faux Facebook page with a faux YouTube video embedded in it, which was really just a come-on for me to do a drive-by install of what would undoubtedly be some nasty bit of malware. At this point I stopped clicking.
Even I am not that stupid.
I give the spammers credit for attempting to make it look like a real Facebook page. But none of those ads on the side were live – they were just graphics. And "Youtube" is usually spelled with a capital T in the middle.
But I had to wonder: What the hell is a Twitterwink? So I visited that page and found this:
Yeah, I don't know what that's supposed to be, either. The site was registered to a "Jill Nelson" of "Beaverly Hills, CA." But the real story was in where it was hosted: 2x4.ru, a Russian Web host with a less-than-pristine reputation, to put it mildly, for hosting malware and other criminal activities.
By now, all of this is moot. The links to these sites are all dead; Twitterwink now just shows a blank page for 2x4. Either these guys got caught or, more likely, they moved on to new scams and new domains.
I warned my friend about the Twitter hijacking and, hopefully, he changed his password. But this is a particularly insidious scam because it comes via Twitter Direct Messages, which are likely to be more trusted by more people. And as I also got similar scam DMs via another Twitter handle I use, it's safe to say this is hardly an isolated incident.
Today's lesson? Always be wary of anything that looks a bit funky. Don't automatically trust Twitter DMs, especially ones with links in them. Look closely at URLs whenever you do decide to click. And, above all, don't be stupid. Unlike me.

Army Strong...
It all started out with a simple text that said, "Charity golf tourney. Got your fingerprints all over it". The message was from one of my closest pals and neighbor Mark Mangino. When we had the chance to speak later that day on the phone, he explained what it was all about. The tourney was to take place on Thursday, August 8th at West Point, and was in honor of Army Major Thomas "TK" Kennedy. On August 8th of 2012, Major Kennedy was killed by a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan. Mark had known him, and said you'd be hard-pressed to find a better example of an all-around great human being. TK left behind a wife Kami, and 2-1/2 year-old twins Maggie and Brody. The fundraiser was to raise funds to establish a trust for the twins' college education. I've always had a soft-spot for anything military or kids related, and throwing the Irish angle in there, this was a no-brainer to get involved with.
Once I committed to attend and hung up the phone, I gave this some more thought. It is because of individuals like TK who made the ultimate sacrifice, and really anyone who proudly serves in our Armed Forces, that I can take my 18 month-old son for a walk in his stroller safely every morning. With my capabilities and connections in fundraising, I came to the conclusion that this warranted more than just showing up to play golf and buy a bunch of raffle tickets.
The biggest issue and hurdle I faced was time. I was only days away from a long-planned family boat trip in the Mediterranean, and the tourney would be held less than a week after our return. With many of our ports of call being in the middle of nowhere while overseas, there'd be no phone, and spotty Internet at best. If I wanted to make something happen, the hammer would have to put down then and there. Sitting in my man cave, I looked on the wall where one of my favorite autographed guitars hung. I have a pal Louis who collects this sort of memorabilia, and decided to give him a ring. After explaining to him what the charity was about, I told him of the guitar that might need a new home for a worthwhile cause. All he had to was write a nice big check with a number suggested to TK's charity, and the guitar was his. Louis readily agreed, plus ended up giving even more. This was off to a good start.
Thinking back to my run, and eventual win, of the National Man of the Year for LLS cancer research, it came to me that probably my biggest money-maker during that period was the one-of-a-kind silent auction packages I put together. I have pals in every line of work imaginable. If it worked so well that time (and times before), why not do it again? Phone calls were made and emails sent to see what I could gather together. Before I knew it, Deb, Beckett, and I were on our way to JFK to fly to Trieste, Italy to meet the boat, my in-laws, and some family friends.
Apparently it didn't take long for word to get around of what I was up to. Upon landing in Italy and hitting the wi-fi, I had about 30 messages waiting for me, pretty much all saying "What do you need or have in mind?" This only made me tap out some more emails with new inquiries to see what would happen. Then more responses came in throughout the trip. It was yet another example of how fortunate I am with the caliber and quality of folks I surround myself with. As my dear departed Father once told me... "Son, in life there are energy givers, and energy takers. Get rid of the takers, and cultivate the givers." Just goes to show what folks can do coming together as a collective, and making something good come out of a horrifically tragic situation.
At this moment I'd like to spend a special thank you to my wife Debbie. Way too many times to mention while working on this during our vacation, she gladly gave up her "Mommy free/relax time" to continue to watch Beck so I could continue tapping away on my iPad. Mrs. O'Malley, you are and always will be my #1 Rockstar.
Regarding our trip abroad...If you're ever lucky enough like we were to have the opportunity to see coastal Italy, Croatia, and Greece, mortgage the farm and do it. Fantastic people, and scenery so beautiful it's almost hallucinogenic. When I get called to the "great golf course in the sky", it's definitely a trip I will reminisce upon, and saying thanks to my in-laws Jason and Rena Pilalas will never be enough....
Returning home was when the real work started. That's when we had to begin sorting through the various silent auction items/certificates and private donation checks that had been sent while we were away, in order to create the packages. There is just a ton of mundane behind the scenes paperwork that needs to be completed with this sort of thing. Throw in having a jet-lagged baby (and parents), getting back into a "we're home" routine, and dealing with a both pissed off and needy-because-Daddy-skipped-town-for-three-weeks 130 pound Rottweiler, and it was a challenge. It seemed a flash from that point to loading up the car to head to the tournament.
Don't know if you've been to West Point before, but if you have, you'll agree it's truly stunning. The golf course is blow your mind quality. Obviously the tourney was packed with both current and former West Pointers, and you couldn't meet a finer bunch of men, young and old. If Beckett grows up to be like any of the gents I met, you won't find a prouder father who feels a job well done.Looking back on this event from start to finish, of the hundreds of charity events I've participated in before (all which were special in their own way), I can't recall one that was such an emotional rollercoaster ride. I'll admit that I had a tough time holding it together when TK's brother John spoke so warmly and eloquently in front of the packed tournament welcoming everyone before we tee'd off. This being the exact one year anniversary of TK's death, one can't imagine how difficult it was for his family. That said, there was also a genuine sense of celebration in honor of one of life's great guys, and the Kennedy family was the personification of class, dignity, and kindness. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, TK's brothers John and George, along with Kami and the kids, could have not been nicer or more appreciative of everyone's efforts.
The tourney was played, god knows how many beers consumed (thanks Yuengling!), and my foursome came in a respectable 4th place. I'm not sure if I can remember having as much fun and laughing so hard at a tournament. It was a true cast of characters.
Post tourney, I was honored to be asked by John and George to tag along with a small group of TK's closet pals to visit his gravesite at West Point. Watching and listening to what was being said and reminisced about while everyone was gathered around, I'd have to guess that TK was looking down from above with a huge grin on his face. It was a moment in time I won't ever forget.
The time came for the post-tourney event at the Thayer Hotel, and that's when the party really kicked off, which was pretty frightening considering the chicanery going on since 11am. Lord knows I love a great party for a great cause, and this one was serious business. These folks know how to have a good time, and there's no doubt that I've now made a number of close pals for life. I also had the pleasure of meeting and having a nice chat with General Martin Dempsey, who is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. One would think that the most powerful man in the United States military might be a stiff or an imposing figure. I found him to be a truly welcoming and warm guy. Plus he gave one of the best speeches I have ever heard. It was obvious he was very fond of TK, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including his own.
For obvious reasons I had a keen interest in how the silent auction was going, especially the items I (we) put together. When I first decided to kick things up a notch with my efforts, a personal goal of $5,000 dollars was set. When all was said and done, and I calculated what "Team O'Malley" brought in via silent auction, raffles, private donations, etc, I was absolutely thrilled with what the final number was. And that was just under $20,000.
It goes without saying the tournament was a roaring success, and there was a substantial number raised for this most worthwhile cause when all was said and done. A special mention and thanks should go out to Dan Ryan, who did a terrific job being in charge of the silent auction. There are few things in life that are more pulling your hair out/ wanting to jump out a window than the juggling chainsaws aspect of being the point man for a large silent auction. He handled it flawlessly.
In closing, I'd like to ask you to please take a peek at the two lists below the attached photo. If you know any of the individuals, give 'em a pat on the back. If a business, please consider them in the future. They all stepped up big on very short notice.
And to you, each member of Team O'Malley who donated in some way to this cause... About 15 years from now when I'll officially be a senior citizen, and Maggie and Brody entering their latter teens, something really fantastic is going to happen to you completely out of the blue. Rest assured at that very moment, it was probably the first time a pen was put to check for these kids' college education.
For that, on behalf of the entire Kennedy family, you have our most sincere appreciation. Thank you so very much.

MAJIC 100 and CTV Ottawa are piling up the fun by building a mountain of toys again this holiday season. Today marks the launch of the annual Toy Mojuntaincampaign, dedicated to raising a mountain of toys and celebrating Ottawa's spirit of giving. This yearly tradition from CTV Ottawa and MAJIC 100 will spread Christmas cheer once again for The Salvation Army, with hopes that the mountain of toys grows to new heights thanks to generous toy and cash donations.
"Every gift donated to the MAJIC 100 and CTV Toy Mountain Campaign helps The Salvation Army meet the needs of families in our community," said Richard Gray, Regional Vice-President, Radio & TV Operations Eastern Canada. "The overwhelming generosity of our viewers and listeners helps support those less fortunate during the holiday season, and spread Christmas cheer across the city with all the new locations this year."
As the mountain of toys reaches higher altitudes, MAJIC 100 and CTV Ottawa personalities will broadcast from various mobile donation drop-off locations on Saturday, Dec. 1; Saturday, Dec. 8; and Saturday, Dec. 15, including several Toys 'R Us and Wal-Mart locations throughout the city. Festive AMJ trucks and Salvation Army volunteers will be at each location to help collect donations. Even Santa will take a break from his holiday preparations to make his rounds to each location during the Saturday events.
This year, donations can also be dropped-off during banking hours at all TD Canada Trust locations or at a customer service kiosk during regular mall hours. And of course, toys can also be dropped off at Bell Media Ottawa, during regular business hours, turning an entire studio into one giant toy mountain.
A complete list of drop-off locations can be found at majic100.com and ottawa.ctvnews.ca.
Finally, businesses are encouraged to get involved via the At Work Santa program, where people can sign up to collect donations on behalf of colleagues and arrange for pick-up through the Salvation Army.

Naan is hard to resist due to its soft, fluffy texture and the way that saying its name forces you to open your mouth as wide as you can. Give in to naan with this Groupon.
$20 for $40 Worth of Indian Cuisine
Appetizers such as vegetable samosas ($4) and chicken kathi kebabs with mint sauce ($10.95) warm bellies up for entrees including matar paneer, housemade cheese cooked in tomato sauce ($11.95), spicy lamb vindaloo ($13.95), and chicken curry ($11.95). See the complete menu.
The Indian Harvest
The Indian Harvest adorns white tablecloths with north Indian curries, pilafs, and kebabs distinguished by myriad spices such as pods of cardamom, cloves, cumin, and mustard seeds, and bowls of mint, tamarind, and mango chutney. Over 20 vegetarian dishes showcase the versatility of eggplant, cauliflower, and peas, as well as their ability to harmonize with lentils and avoid getting redfaced when infused with whole chiles. A clay oven known as a tandoor sizzles lamb, chicken, and shrimp at a high temperature to seal in marinade and keep cholesterol down, and provides the bellows to puff up rounds of seasoned, leavened naan bread. Wood panels cut with floral designs screen sections of tables and booths in the dining room, whereas views of lake open up the banquet hall and the patio.

I need the date description to be "2 anchor points + 2 control points" ( bezier curve -3 )
Here is the analyse : (I can find the anchor points ,but I don't know the rule of the control points )
Help please
P.S. the purple points are control points
Ok , I see know
actually , purple point is the control point , it's the intersection of 2 control points 's extension ,
2 control points are symmetrical (until you move the control points , let them asymmetry ,then it will turn to 2 curved lines )
^Talking to yourself… again Tang ? .
I still use the good old SVG and not the FXG since its much better on the animate .but it's a little tricky to build SVG class and then export it to xml ,but once you get the hang of this it great in flash/Flex and the rules apply also to CCS3/Html5 platforms so you don't need to learn something new when you shifting to other platforms,logic.http://www.adobe.com/devnet/svg.html
Thanks , actually I 'm making a game (copycatted zumia)
I need the path data as the locus , I made a bezier tool for this game
But yesterday I noticed flash can output .fxg file , sure flash IDE is easier than my tool , so I thought it can be used in such game
and today , I realized it (Now it reads .fxg file directly )
It's haxenme based , unbelievable performance 59~60 fps on iPhone and iPad
Nice with fps feel good, minimum cup yet nice graphic, what i don't get is why are you selling your mobile stuff on the CC market vs Google app or the ios market, you are going to make more money there and you don't need to share your code….but hi guess its the China way
tsafi saidCuz I thought those games are too simple ,so many free games there , and really lazy to upload them to store , make icons .. screenshots write description bla bla… then wait 15 days or even 20 days , and .bang ! .. rejected or get 30 sales on day 1 then less and less , finally 0 sale after a week ,I headed too many stories like such … the solution is promotion ,advertisement ,hire commenters write ..Wow this game is so funny , this game is great,, a lot of fun ,I can't stop playing it …
what i don't get is why are you selling your mobile stuff on the CC market vs Google app or the ios market, you are going to make more money there and you don't need to share your code….but hi guess its the China way
But maybe , tsafi is right , one of my cc buyer saied he purchaed the run game ,and he had made nice runer game from that templte, getting very nice paid downlods form that …
P.S. will send you a "Redeem code" of this "zuma game" (if you are interested :p) ,but it still long way to go … just 30% completeness
Well you need to start somewhere, first the android market is much more easy then the IOS on the submission, second I agree those game are way too simple for the pay market and frankly they are good for kids who want to kill 10 15 minutes and then forget about the game , there are some amazing free game for mobile but those made by big teams/studios, on the other way, why submit a game when you get 10-15 sells and other can use your code modify them and uploaded them to apps market ? It's a waste of time.
So make icons.. Screenshots write description bla bla that's your problem ? but whatever do what best for you…… gaming is a hard market on the mobile world anyway, and for sure it's very hard for the solo dev` but gaming is just 1 topic …. But with the decline of template use over the web and every 5 years old that calls himself a web dev` and can think he can make a template, mobile world is a good place to start and separate the boys from the man.
It's only a matter of time before TF/CS (CC market is already replete market with copy paste stuff and it will never have the success of the good old days like flash in sells) sells will start to decline ….mobile/apps tablet is the future .
Thanks for some nice points tsafi , I'm agree with mobile is the future

2005-06 Big Ten Wrestling Season in Review
April 4, 2006
Complete Release in PDF Format
For the third-straight year, a pair of Big Ten wrestling squads finished in the top-five at the NCAA Championships, while a conference team earned a top-two finish for the fourth consecutive season. Led by runner-up Minnesota and fourth-place Iowa, the league took four of the top 10 team spots and nine of the top 25 places at this season's event. The Golden Gophers finished second with 84 points behind national champion Oklahoma State. The conference has had at least one top-two finisher at the NCAA Championships each of the past 16 years since 1990. Big Ten champion Minnesota and Iowa (70 points) were followed by Michigan (7th, 57.5) and Penn State (T-9th, 53.5) in the top 10. Five additional squads followed in the top 25 in Northwestern (13th, 48.5), Indiana (T-18th, 35.0), Michigan State (T-18th, 35.0), Purdue (20th, 34.0) and Illinois (25th, 29.0).
Displaying its national dominance, the Big Ten boasted national champions or runners-up in eight of the 10 weight classes, including an all-Big Ten final for the 149-pound title. Indiana's Joe Dubuque claimed his second-straight NCAA title at 125 pounds, while Minnesota's Dustin Schlatter and Cole Konrad took home the 149-pound and heavyweight championships, respectively. Six conference grapplers earned second-place finishes in Purdue's Chris Fleeger (133 pounds), Iowa's Ty Eustice (149), Michigan's Ryan Churella (165), Northwestern's Jake Herbert (174), Minnesota's Roger Kish (184) and Penn State's Phil Davis (197).
In all, Big Ten wrestling celebrated 28 All-Americans (39 percent) of the 72 competing at the NCAA Championships, as well as 51 Academic All-Big Ten honorees this year. Over a 17-week period, a total of 20 wrestlers earned Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honors, while one representative from each of the 11 institutions was named an honoree for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award, which will be given at the end of the academic year.

leaking old well water feed/pipe into basement
Hi i have a house built in 1919 and we have always had some water in the basement after heavy rain. my wife's great grand parents built the house. the foundation is field stone and whatever they had aruond apparently.
this last bad rain we had, there was a garden hose like leak from a crescent moon shape from the wall. it squirted from the wall at 90* and had some pressure behind it. from what i understand, by talking to the aunt that lives up the street still, the house used to be well water and now its city water.
it looks like someone cut a 3" iron pipe flush with the wall and cemented over it. the pipe is under our back porch steps and it cannot be dug up with out it being a major project. i think with the heavy rain, the whats left of the well fills up, and floods our basement due to it being the path of least resistance.
i was thinking about hammer drilling out the pipe end and just stuffing it and using hydraulic cement or some other product.
any ideas or suggestions?
west haven, CT
There are codes in most states about water well abandonment.
You can get the information from your state or county government. Or, call a local driller.
These codes are to protect the aquifer and should never be taken lightly.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
In Michigan the cement or benoite has to be PUMPED, not poured.
The material used is determined by the depth of the bed rock.
Please be a good steward of the Earth.
Here is some general numbers.
i have no idea where whatever well is in my yard. the cement that covered the pipe had held for years until now. i just want to stop it from going into my basement. houses here are right next to each other and everybody is on city water.
And sometimes you just can not find them.

Fat Transfer to Calves - Chicago, IL
I had my procedure done on the morning of April 17...
From comment 4.24.14
I can see a small scab where he injected in each leg. On each leg, it is in the crease behind my knee, but right in the corner towards my inner knee. It's tiny and I HIGHLY doubt it'll be noticeable once it's healed. I didn't have any fat to the ankles. If you are unsure, get different opinions. I found the surgeons that I went to that did not specialize in fat grafting were definitely more leaning toward an implant. However, if you find a doctor that specializes in body sculpting and fat grafting, I would go that option. Reabsorption of fat is always a risk, but for me I was more willing to take that risk than rejection, dislocation, and scarring. My doctor said I should keep about 60-70 percent of the fat he injected so he overcompensated for that and injected more.
From comment 4.24.14
I did look into calf implants. I chose not to go with implants for several reasons: it was significantly more expensive, recovery is significantly longer and more painful, risk of complications (rejection, dislocation), and scarring (I don't need everyone knowing I had calf enhancement. It's been a week since I had the procedure and my calves look great. I'm still dealing with the cellulitis in my left leg but I'm on antibiotics and it's slowly resolving. Other than that, my other leg and the areas I had fat transferred from just feel a little sore. If it weren't for my left leg, I'd say recovery was a BREEZE! I had people at my house on Easter Sunday and had the procedure the Thursday prior. No one even knew I had anything done. Of course, I had pants on because of the bruising, but what I love is that my legs don't look like someone else's. They look like my legs, but fuller. I don't know how much was injected into each calf but I'll ask at my 1 month followup. He only injected into the medial aspect because that's where I needed help. Doctor did take before pics and he will take after pics at my next appointment, so I'll post them then.

- We Didn'T! : : Humour - Poem by Alessandra Liverani
They've been to the moon and back six times, no less
Got dropped off and picked up, I was impressed
For many years, I never questioned this outstanding feat
Didn't even know others thought there had been a deceit
But recently I started reading what the sceptics had to say
I pondered, I wondered, had we really been betrayed
The flag fluttering in the breeze, footprints etched in dry dust
Shadows at all angles, could it be explained without fuss
"Mythblusterers" attempted to convince us on TV
Except on television, again, there may be tricks you can't see
Prove it on television, come on, it's got to be done live
With investigators checking and watching that nothing's been contrived
It was claimed the fluttering flag was under centripetal force
And they even proved it (on television) , I laughed myself hoarse
The footprint: that was explained using magical dust
How this powder was made, well, we were just asked to trust
Will Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin go to their grave
With the truth still locked inside, or could they be so brave
To become honest men and let everyone hear
That they never landed on our neighbouring sphere
(Sydney, Australia - 2009)

Dragon Quest IX has officially set a new Guinness World . It's not about sales, though - Final Fantasy XIII outstrips it just in Square Enix's figures. There is, however, more than one way that a game can get into the record books.
For Dragon Quest IX, it was through its "Chance Encounter" feature, which lets people share game data with other players that they run into via Nintendo WiFi on the DS. With 4.26 million sold in Japan alone, there are pretty good odds for that to happen. How good? Well, there were 117,577,073 Chance Encounters from the game's July 2009 release to March 4, 2010.
That nine-digit number qualifies Chance Encounter as the "most popular ad hoc wireless game feature". The same feature will come to the North American and European versions in July, renamed as "Tag Mode".

Could this most simple of ideas, be the technological inspiration to revolutionise road safety?
Design specialist Art Lebedev, creator of the stunning Optimus Maximus keyboard, has shown off the 'Transparentius' – which aims to improve driver visibility by showing the road ahead on the back of large vehicles such as trucks.
Furthermore, while the photo above may look incredible, how it is achieved is rather straightforward: a video camera is fixed to the front of the vehicle and the content it captures is projected in real time onto the back of the transporter. In theory this would greatly reduce accidents, particularly on bends.
That said, Art Lebedev hasn't gone into any detail about how this system would overcome everyday problems such as bright sunlight and how it would keep the projector viewfinder clean. On top of this there are the small matters of whether trucking companies in particular would want to lose their rear advertising space and how much will it all cost?
No matter, we'll just enjoy the principle for now. Reality can be such a buzz kill…

TERRA's final battle with the MU has begun. Ayato's fact-finding mission into Tokyo Jupiter has left him confused and uncertain. His bond with his "mother" Maya, his allegiance to TERRA, the fate of the world; Ayato's mind is a torrent of conflicting memories and half-truths.

Triple treat as Australians move into finals

Turley (centre) and Mark
Casey celebrate their win.

SHE'S feisty, Roma Dunn.
The 63-year-old mother of eight attempts to enter the record books today when Australia plays Malaysia in the final of the women's triples. Win, and Dunn becomes Australia's oldest gold medallist in Commonwealth Games history. She's too much of a straight shooter to be bothered with playing down her chances with tired cliches like so many other athletes are doing at so many other sports. Young people, eh? Where's the courage? Instead, Dunn is talking up a storm.
"It's the best thing since sliced bread, I can tell you," Dunn said after she joined Ceriann Davies and Noi Tucker to beat England 10-6, 7-6 in the semi-finals at the State Bowls Centre.
"I've been to two Commonwealth Games before this and gone home without a medal," she said. "Not this time, no way. It's going to be gold."
The men's triples team of Bill Cornehls, Wayne Turley and Mark Casey produced something akin to a bloodbath with an 8-3, 14-2 thrashing of South Africa to reach tonight's decider against Northern Ireland.
"I'll probably give the game away if we win," Turley joked. "To win gold would be absolutely unbelievable that would do me. It's overwhelming, I'm lost for words. It hasn't sunk in that we're into the final. A lot of hard work has paid off for all of us."
Turley is a character. He twists and turns as bowls attempt to squeeze through gaps. He shouts encouragement at Cornehls and Casey, gives and gets high fives, rides every shot as though his life depends on it. When he snared three shots at the fifth end of the second set against South Africa to give Australia an unassailable 13-0 lead, Turley and Cornehls charged down the green at him, roaring.
"Mark was sensational," Turley said. "That's just the raw talent he's got. He's got so much ability for his age it's incredible. He's only 24. He's like a brother to me."
Australia's Kelvin Kerkow won a third-set tie-breaker to beat Malaysia's Abdullah Mohd and remain undefeated in the men's singles. Dunn's team plays at 3.30pm with the men taking centre stage at 6.45pm.

Skip to comments.New mobile-focused Windows could last 20-30 years -- Gartner
Posted on 06/28/2012 5:15:04 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Microsoft's new programming model WinRT -- showcased by the new Windows 8 -- is designed to keep Microsoft relevant in the increasingly mobile world, analysts from research firm Gartner said in a statement today.
"Windows 8 is the start of Microsoft's effort to respond to market demands and competitors, as it provides a common interface and programming API (application programing interface) set from phones to servers," Michael Silver, vice president and analyst at Gartner, said in a press release.
Gartner's analysts, who recently released a report on the changes to Windows, said enterprises will take about 10 years to fully move from WinNT to WinRT, but if it's successful, WinRT will be the face of Windows for the next 20 to 30 years.
WinRT, which is short for Windows Runtime, is the collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) that support Metro, the new user interface for Windows 8. It simplifies programming for developers. (And it's not to be confused with Windows RT -- yes, they're different, see the second question and answer in this FAQ.)
There's been plenty of buzz around Windows 8 recently, particularly with Microsoft's announcement of its new Surface tablet. Despite skepticism around when the new operating system will actually debut and how good it will be, the tablet seems to have put a positive spotlight on Microsoft's late, and necessary, move to a fully mobile focus.
Steve Kleynhans, vice president for client and mobile computing at Gartner, called Windows 8 a "technology shift."
"The user computing world is changing. PCs, although still critical components of the computing landscape, are no longer the only devices for delivering services and applications to users. Smartphones and tablets are fulfilling the role of the primary device for an increasing group of users, and most of these devices are from vendors other than Microsoft," Kleynhans said in the release. "In this environment, Microsoft needs to move to a platform that enables a new type of application and embraces new types of user experiences. Microsoft is responding to competitive pressures that have made it rethink not only how its products should look, but also how they should be architected for security and manageability."
Silver said Microsoft will continue to support applications created for the older operating system model but will encourage developers to create "more manageable and engaging" applications using WinRT.
I recall MS making a very similar claim about Win7: that it was the OS of their future and would only require minor tweaks to stay at the forefront of operating systems.
Gartner has been SO wrong about long-term trends SO many times, I do not know why they make them any more.
Predicting the technological landscape in 20-30 years is a fool's game. Only one change in technology (breakthrough in quantum computing, holography, superconductivity, etc.) could change the entire scene. Certain kinds of political or economic upheaval could do the same.
Without bashing MS, I'd just like to note that 20 to 30 years is a verrrry long time in the world of computing!
Yeah, Gartner's blowing smoke out of the back-end orifices here. This isn't a Windows thing — there simply isn't any computing platform that's going to remain viable for 20+ years, no matter what it is. The industry is still evolving way too fast for that.
A better bet is Microsoft will not be a major player in 20-30 years. They follow the Detroit automaker business model: a mish-mash of marketing dept. requested features to make the sale but under the hood most everything is cheap junk.
"Gartner: Large businesses shouldn't skip Vista"
"Gartner Group believes the AS/400 will not be a major system (from 1995)"
[Note: the AS400 architecture is still doing fine in the current IBM iSeries in the business and government markets where it has traditional had a home.]
We have already witnessed the convergence of PC and Laptop where the laptop can completely replace the PC.
We are now witnessing the convergence of Laptop, Tablet and Smartphone into a product that can replace PC, Laptop, Tablet, and Smartphone.
This is the natural progression of both battery and CPU efficiency.
i agree, 20/30 years is too long to predict. The arrival of the iPhone decimated RIM. the only company that has lasted for a very long in the tech world is IBM
We have no idea what technology will be popular in TEN years, much less twenty.
I think we will see a divergence into two products: a phone/entertainment product that can fit in your pocket, and a larger-screened product that fits in your briefcase that you can read text and documents from without eyestrain, and which allows for some sort of full-size keyboard.
My attitude is that if it's too big to fit in my pocket, it might as well be big enough to have a 19"+ screen.
Perhaps for a short time, we will see devices of various sizes, shapes and capabilities.
However, flexible keyboards and displays (or projectors) could create a pocket-size device that still has a full keyboard and display.
now they're trying to go the IBM route and claim they are a services company. it doesn't work — they're not very good.
So are the zSeries boxes.

The veteran Knicks roster just got even older
Keywords: knicks, rasheed wallace
The Brooklyn Nets recently just unveiled their slick new jerseys at a rocking Jay-Z concert. The Knicks, well they unveiled 38 year old center Rasheed Wallace. The excitement in New York is clearly aimed at the borough of Brooklyn right now, but Knicks fans shouldn't feel too down.
Rasheed has sat out of the NBA for the past two years, so it is safe to say his body will be fresh for the season. And that means he will be able to give Tyson Chandler some much needed rest. Lets see…….well, there isn't really much else to say. This geriatric version of the Knicks may lack the flash of the Nets, but hey, games are played on the court, not on paper.

To the Victims of
Fascism and War
As part of NEC's Music: Truth to Power festival, the conductorless NEC Chamber Orchestra, coached by Donald Palma, performs Shostakovich's Chamber Symphony, Op. 118a, based on the String Quartet No. 10 as transcribed by conductor Rudolf Barshai.
Having already dedicated his String Quartet No. 8 to the "victims of fascism and war," Shostakovich extended that theme in his dedication of the String Quartet No. 10 (1964) to his friend, Mieczyslaw Vainberg. A Polish-born Jew of great compositional gifts and prolific output, Vainberg remains almost completely unknown even today. He lost most of his family in the Holocaust and escaped himself by taking refuge in the Soviet Union in 1939. However, once established in Russia, his music was entirely ignored by the Soviet musical establishment and for many years he could only support himself by composing for the theatre and the circus. Worse, he too was arrested in the early 1950s on charges of "Jewish bourgeois nationalism" in connection with the arrest of his father-in-law as part of the infamous "Doctors' Plot." This episode is widely considered one of the worst examples of antisemitism by the Soviet regime and had to do with the suspicion that a group of Moscow doctors, mostly Jews, were conspiring to assassinate Soviet leaders. Only the death of Stalin in 1953 saved the accused—the case against them falling apart after a new regime took over. Shostakovich's dedication certainly "spoke turth to power" in his public support of his friend.
Composed in 2005, Emmanuel Séjourné's Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra has been described by Canadian percussionist Anne-Julie Caron as "unique because it is one of the rare pieces to put the marimba in a romantic context. One of this concerto's strengths is to demonstrate the marimba's expressive potential and ability to phrase like a piano." Written for the Austrian marimbist Bogdan Bacanu, it reflects "his love of the romanticism and lyricism in Rachmaninoff. As a result, the first movement of the concerto is slow, solemn, with long lyrical solo passages, sometimes flighty, sometimes laconic, at a point exuberant, then again melancholic. The fast, aggressive and rhythmical second movement is influenced by two styles that we find often in Séjourné's music: the jazz rock and flamenco."
Tsz-Ho Samuel Chan, the soloist in tonight's performance, was chosen by competition and is a third-year undergraduate studying with former BSO percussionist Frank Epstein.

David's guide to the creative process, THE ARTIST'S TORAH, is an uplifting and down-to-earth guide to the creative process, wide open to longtime artists and first-time dabblers, to people of every religious background—or none—and to every creative medium. In this book, you'll find a year-long cycle of weekly meditations on a life lived artistically, grounded in ancient Jewish wisdom and the wisdom of artists, composers, writers, and choreographers from the past and present. You'll explore the nature of the creative process—how it begins, what it's for, what it asks of you, how you work your way to truth and meaning, what you do when you get blocked, what you do when you're done—and encounter questions that will help you apply the meditations to your own life and work. Above all, The Artist's Torah teaches us that creativity is a natural and important part of the human spirit, a bright spark that, week after week, this book will brighten.
The Artist's Torah is available as a print book or as an e-book. You can order the print version of The Artist's Torah through your local bookstore, or (at a 20% discount) directly from the publisher here! Or order it from Amazon here. You can also order The Artist's Torah from Amazon as an e-book for your Kindle or other device.
"With graceful interpretive understanding, Ebenbach rises to the challenge and finds meaning for a creative life."
-Bonnie Beth Chernin, Lilith
"Although the theological approach to this book might suggest weightiness, the effect is entirely uplifting—motivational and inspiring. This is a book for those artists who live a creative life driven by spirituality; it is a practical guide, a source of enrichment, and a means of creating understanding and community. It is also an affirmation that art and creativity need not be limited to the lauded few, an affirmation that the creative process may be the domain of anyone who exercises it."
-Adele Kenny, Tiferet
"The freshness of Ebenbach's approach is set off by his meticulous scholarship and depth of analysis, and by his clean, sure writing style. Why it works: The connections Ebenbach draws between scripture and the artist's life are both surprising and spot-on."
-Jill Jepson, Writing a Sacred Path; The Artist's Torah selected as one of 2012's four "best books on writing and spirituality."
"[Ebenbach's] insights will inspire artists and non-artists alike to open themselves to the Torah text and the creative impulses found within us all."
-Rabbi Rachel Esserman, The Reporter Group
"David Ebenbach offers stunning glimpses into the dynamics of the creative soul."
-Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, Beth-El Zedeck (from the Foreword to the book)
"This original, eloquent, clear, and practical book is a commentary, a memoir, and a how-to manual for the aspiring artist; it is a motivational treatise and a treasury of sage quotations."
-Lori Lefkovitz, Professor of Jewish Studies and Professor of English, Northeastern University
"The Talmud notes that the Torah is a 'shira,' a song or a poem—artistic, crafted, deliberate, and beautiful. David Harris Ebenbach opens our eyes and exposes our hearts to the artfulness of the Torah hiding in plain view. The Torah that emerges from his gentle reading rewards the reader with deep wisdom and exquisite beauty."
-Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, author of The Bedside Torah; Vice President, American Jewish University
"Ebenbach is a learned interpreter of the Bible, steeped in the literature of both traditional, Jewish interpretation, and the musings on the artistic process from self-reflective artists. His insightful readings of Scripture are profound and moving, spurring his readers both to align themselves with creative forces and to regard Biblical texts in fresh and inspiring ways."
-Rabbi Jacob J. Staub, Professor of Jewish Philosophy and Spirituality, Reconstructionist Rabbinical College

The benefits of 'co-op-erating'
- 2000 2 Apr
Written by Rhonda Barfield
When someone shares a novel way to save 50 percent to 75 percent on food costs, I listen. That's why I took note when a woman explained that she and four friends were paying only a fraction of the going rate for top-quality produce.
These friends had formed a casual food cooperative (co-op). Once a week, one of the five traveled to "Produce Row" in Saint Louis, a street lined with produce wholesalers, and bought enough fresh fruits and vegetables for all their families for the week.
The women took turns shopping and delivering, and because they purchased large quantities, they qualified for the same kinds of savings normally offered only to buyers for supermarkets.
Food cooperatives
Food co-ops are probably the best known form of cooperative. Individuals pool their buying power to purchase natural foods directly from wholesalers.
If you join a food co-op, you may be asked to come to group planning and ordering meetings, help unload a truck, and/or divide, package, and deliver food. In return, you'll pay about half the cost of natural foods sold in stores, often with far greater selection.
If you're interested in more information, including the phone numbers of wholesalers who can direct you to co-ops in your area, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Lilac Publishing address at the end of this article. If you have my book Eat Healthy for $50 a Week, check pages 215-217.
Another kind of food co-op is SHARE, a nonprofit organization that encourages community service.
Here's how it works. An organization -- a church or a club, for example -- agrees to become a host organization. This host provides a place where participants can register for discounted food packages.
Each standard package includes six to 10 pounds of meat, four to seven fresh vegetables, two to four fresh fruits, pasta, rice, or cooked cereal, and a few specialty items. It's a $25 to $30 value for $14.
At registration, participants pledge two hours of community service for every package to be purchased. Pledges can be fulfilled through normal volunteer and church activities like teaching Sunday school or visiting a nursing home.
The host organization tallies the number of packages requested, places an order with SHARE's headquarters, and sends a team of volunteers to pick up the food and distribute it. SHARE gives participants the opportunity to enrich their communities while enjoying the discounts provided by a food co-op.
To find a SHARE host in your area, call 1-888-742-7372. In southern California, call 1-800-773-SHARE or visit their Web site (www.worldshare.org/wsnetwork/sharesocal).
Although I've concentrated on food co-ops, there are other possibilities like baby-sitting co-ops, in which parents take turns caring for one another's children. They use credits rather than money as payment.
You also can organize a cooking co-op to share in preparing dinners; I know of two successful ones. My children and I are involved in a homeschool science club: a co-op in which five women take turns planning and teaching science units to our 15 children.
Cooperatives work, and they may very well fill a need in your life. That's why I encourage you to investigate the possibility of "co-op-erating."
Rhonda Barfield is the author of Eat Healthy for $50 a Week ($14) and 15-Minute Cooking ($12.95). Postage and handling is included in both prices. Send checks to Lilac Publishing, PO Box 665, Saint Charles MO 63302. For a free brochure only, send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to this address. Or check out the Barfields' Web site (www.lilacpublishing.com).

PITTSBURGH - The Pitt gymnastics team scored a 194.125 on the road Friday night at West Virginia after a shortened week. The Mountaineers recorded a 194.450, moving them to 5-4 overall and Pitt to 5-3.
"It was such a close meet," said head coach Debbie Yohman. "It was very hard work for the kids but they responded really well and once again we found ourselves in a tight situation. Every score was tight for both teams. The kids just kept working. We lost by 0.03 and I don't think we've been that close to WVU in a long time. This is a group of kids that is learning how to compete.
"Heading into the last event we felt it was close and we rocked beam. Brit (Harris) was shaking because she has been sick but she hit her beam. Lisa Soto jammed her back earlier in the meet, but hit her routine also. Once again we were on top of the podium for beam and floor. Coming off of two long hard weeks with injuries and kids battling the flu in the mid-season which is the hardest stretch, I couldn't be happier unless we were perfect. This is a big difference from last year. We are learning to compete and finish."
The Panthers started out the Beauty and the Beast meet on the uneven bars, scoring 48.025 with sophomore Jacqueline Lucci leading Pitt with a 9.700 to finish third overall.
In Pitt's second rotation of the night, they recorded a 48.700 on vault. Senior Brittney Harris led all Pitt scorers and finished tied for third overall with a 9.80. Also scoring for the Panthers was sophomore Maebelle Pacheco, who finished fifth with a 9.775.
Sophomore Lindsay Offutt had an outstanding night, winning the floor exercise with a score of 9.80. The Panthers had two other scorers on the night with Haley Bodenheimer and Katie O'Rourke tied for fifth with a 9.750. The team finished with 48.700 team score.
On Pitt's final rotation, the Panthers scored a 48.700 and had two tie for the balance beam event title. Offutt and sophomore Laura Kummerle scored a 9.80 to win the event. Additionally, Haley Bodenheimer finished fourth with a 9.725 (the event's second-best score) and sophomore Lisa Soto tied for fifth with a 9.70.
Harris was Pitt's lone all-around competitor and finished second with a 38.675.
The Panthers return home on Feb. 21 as they host N.C. State at Fitzgerald Field House at 7 p.m., in an ESPN3 broadcast meet.

My Thoughts On: Dr. John C. Roger
My most memorable moment was upon completing my 1st visit he looked me in the eyes and gave me a firm hand shake. You can call me old fashion, that moment assured me along with my long hours of research. I liked that his medical assistant, is caring and nice and holds a great deal of knowledge. I shared with my family and friends how Dr. Roger is an experienced and excellent Dr. And his bed side manners are great. And I like the my chart web, where you can seen him a message regarding your concerns. So if you forget they will have a copy and another personal opinion of mine, is that when you look for the best Dr. like me, and that's smart. Just remember that the best are human.

I NEVER write reviews about anything and my recommendation is: do not use "Dr" John Rogers. First visit made me wait 30 mins, asked me to do a treatment with one of his friends without knowing what I had. He also ordered X rays and when he got the results, he left a message saying that I had a fibrosis in the bone and he needed to talk with me. I scheduled a second visit and he made me wait 1 hour. When he finally decide to see me, he only told me that he needed to refer me to Baylor Medical Center because there was a problem with my bone and recommended me to go to Baylor Medical Center for a MRI. Did he really needed to see and made me wait 1 hour tell me that? It looks he was interested in another thing ($)I called BMC and they did not have any information about his referral and they sent me to another Doctor (Lack of follow up). Here is when I decided to do not follow his directions based in his poor service, decisions and non sense treatmentsI visited another Dr with the X rays results, he mentioned that my bone was totally fine and the problem was because my hernia.PS. When I asked him for the X-rays results, he told me that I had to go to another BMC location. I went to the other BMC and they made me wait another 30 minutes. The receptionist was very rude and even they had my results ready in 5 minutes, they made me wait.Bottom line, do not use John Rogers if you do not want to pass through a horrible experience.
