I did it for myself. I liked it. It was good. It made me feel alive.
-Walter White from Breaking Bad
In the beginning of Paradise Lost John Milton describes Lucifer after his fall from Heaven:
O how fall'n! Who in happy realms of light clothed with transcendent brightness did outshine Myriads…now misery has joined in equal ruin: into what Pit thou seest from what height
In the epic poem Lucifer looks up to the glories of Heaven and is haunted by the distance of his fall. For Lucifer the torment of Hell is not the fiery pit, but the low position—the eternal incompletion. From now on he will go to any measure to restore his glory. With this resolve against Heaven and its King, Lucifer transforms into Satan; the lowest being, armed with terrifying power and voracious ambition.
Recently the AMC show Breaking Bad aired its final episode and ended with high acclaim from fans and critics. In 2008 the show had 1.4 million viewers, but five years and many Emmy awards later (including best show of 2013) its finale claimed 10.3 million laptops and television sets. Breaking Bad is the story of a suburban dweller named Walter White, a chemistry genius turned high school teacher and a man whose life is miserable anyway you look at it. His sixteen year old son has cerebral palsy; his teacher's salary hardly pays the bills; his masculinity is dwarfed by his brother in law who is the DEA for Albuquerque; and the company he co founded out of grad school and sold for five thousand dollars now makes millions he'll never have. Lung cancer is added to Walt's list of complications and he is subsequently controlled by his fearful wife who finds out she's pregnant after the diagnosis. Yes, Walter's been dealt a terrible hand but he finds a niche that will allow him to practice chemistry and provide for his family before he dies: cook and sell methamphetamine.
As the story develops, the dopey but genius Walter keeps his cover by habitually lying to loved ones. Meth manufacturing inevitably doesn't allow his hands or money to go blood free and the cash flow increases when he turns his mind to deception and manipulation. His cancer eventually goes into recession but his crime life turns into a vicious cycle of no return as Walt's objective changes from providing for his family to controlling his destiny. In his rise from drug manufacturer to kingpin Walt gives himself the name Heisenberg; a name that grows into the biggest in meth production and eventually the most notorious name in the world of crime.
In sixty two episodes creator Vince Gillian successfully turned a cheesy dad into the image of Scarface, but the portrayal of Walt is much different than silver screen crime boss like Tony Montana or Vito Corleone. In a crime film the protagonist usually has a charismatic rise and fall and you feel the raw power of the character when the credits role. But in the five year rise and reign of Heisenberg, the belittled and somewhat pathetic Walter White is never forgotten to the character.
Often the best part of a crime film is being introduced to an entirely new world; a place distant from the viewer. For instance in the world of Goodfellas I can watch Joe Pesci murder someone with a knife and I'm inclined to believe I'm not capable of that kind of evil. But Breaking Bad starts in the suburbs–not the streets–and Walter White could be your next door neighbor. He doesn't practice crime from cultural pressure, family heritage, or because it's the only life he's known, he does it because he has been slighted by a existence of namelessness, and cancer threatens to leave it that way. The awareness of his low position motivates him and he looks to excel by any means. This makes it uncomfortably easy to relate to Walter White. If we have been cheated, shamed publically, or forgotten by a loved one there's always that feeling of desolation that tells us to do something rash or powerful to tip the scales in our favor. What if everything in life minimized and pained you and you were given less than a year to live? Wouldn't you want to take control? The idea of taking owning of your own destiny is usually thought of as a good thing, but what if self fulfillment comes in the form of a pitiful suburban dad engineering a scheme that turns him into a monster? The results are not as sexy as most crime movies, but they are exponentially more terrifying.
The story of Heisenberg is as ancient as it is personal. After his fall from Heaven, Lucifer is trapped in a state of infinite smallness made from eternal loss. In Eden he temps Eve with the phrase, "you will be like God knowing good and evil." This is the message: "you are not what you could be, think of what you could become." We thought eating the fruit would make us closer to God, but disobedience made us haunted by our distance from him. We know from history and the evening news that people will do monstrous things in the search for some kind of fulfillment or satisfaction. Are we that different? Are we incapable of horrors?
Remember the pitiful Walter White. Remember the monstrosity of Heisenberg, because the story of Breaking Bad shares an ancient paradox with the Tower of Babel that is still relevant to our time and heart: the more bricks you lay to attain Heaven the farther you build from God.

Hackers: Good – Crackers: Bad
It's interesting how those urban stories become urban legends (no, Bill Gates is not going to give you his fortune if you pass on that e-mail — sheesh) and how myths become become truths when repeated often enough.
Last week, the paper at which I work had a headline on a story that said that the U.S. had the most hackers in the world. Under my definition of hacker this would be welcome news, but the article continued to implicate those who "hacked" as people who did illegal things via computers.
Those aren't hackers. Most of you know who Eric Raymond is, but for those of you who don't, the author of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" — arguably a defining book regarding open source software — has something to say about hackers; real hackers, that is.
Raymond says that hackers — "a community, a shared culture, of expert programmers and networking wizards that traces its history back through decades to the first time-sharing mini-computers and the earliest ARPAnet experiements" — originated the term as a positive one. Hackers built the Internet, Raymond continues, made Unix what it is today, run Usenet, and generally make the World Wide Web work.
He continues later to say, "There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but aren't. These are people (mainly adolescent males) who get a kick out of breaking into computers . . . . Real hackers call these people 'crackers' and want nothing to do with them . . . ."
Raymond continues later: " . . . [B]eing able to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer."
Hackers build things, and crackers break them.
I think about this every time I look at the Free Software Foundation business-card disk that doubles as my membership card, especially at the signature by Richard Stallman (I asked him to autograph it, sheepishly, after the stellar speech he gave at the University of California last month) which says, "Happy hacking!" To be a hacker would be a badge of honor I'd gladly wear.

Marisa Perez, Class of 2011
December 20, 2009
Filed in Uncategorized
Music Major, Psychology Minor
Lakewood, Ohio
"Everything at Wittenberg is for us, the students, and we are free to find ourselves here. Not only have I learned from professor, but also from my peers around me."
Many students see Wittenberg University's community service requirement as a job and quietly put it off until they are upperclassmen. Marisa Perez is the exception to the rule, with enough time volunteered through her first two years on campus to fulfill the prerequisite for multiple students.
Ask why she is so involved in her community, and Perez proudly says she would not have it any other way.
"I have always enjoyed seeing people smile and volunteering in my community provides that," Perez said. "If I can help build a house, volunteer at a soup kitchen, I will. Seeing other people happy and content makes me feel just the same way."
Perez was recently awarded the prestigious Foundation for Independent Higher Education Scholarship, an award given to a deserving Hispanic student who has been significantly involved in her community and carries a grade point average of 2.8 or higher.
The resume that earned Perez the scholarship includes extensive involvement in her church community in Lakewood, Ohio, through which she has hosted families for meals and provided shelter. She has also participated in various walks and races, including the ALS Walk and the Women of the Congo race in Chicago, and she was a member of a Habitat for Humanity project. In addition, Perez traveled to the impoverished African kingdom of Lesotho to build playgrounds and rehabilitate schools with a group of Wittenberg students last summer.
It took just one step on campus for Perez to know this was the place for her to grow as a person. Three years after her arrival, she has clearly flourished in the environment Wittenberg provides.
"From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I knew I wanted to be here," Perez said. "The people were so nice and welcoming, and that was the environment I wanted to be in."
When she is not volunteering in the community, Perez is involved in a variety of campus activities, including the peer helper program. In addition, she sings with the famed Wittenberg Choir and Just Eve, a women's a cappella group on campus.
Perez is pursing a career in music or art therapy, which will allow her to continue her passion for helping people. Until she walks across the stage in Commencement Hollow, however, Perez plans to continue to expand her horizons and take advantage of the wide range of experiences available to Wittenberg students.
"Wittenberg has so much to offer in the classroom and out," Perez said. "I plan to take the experiences that I have had here and spread them to everyone I come in contact with. Having the light, I will pass it on to others."

BBC Tests Surround Sound for Ordinary Headphones
Home cinema with surround sound delivered from multiple speakers is pretty commonplace. The BBC is trialling broadcasts which create the same effect through normal headphones.
The BBC is asking listeners to join an experiment in creating surround sound through standard headphones. Radio Today explains how the trial works using a "binaural" format to create an immersive sound experience.
"The Radio 3 website will offer a recording of Nine Lessons and Carols from 2007 in binaural sound until the end of the Christmas period. The service was recorded in surround sound as an experiment by BBC engineers and processed to create binaural audio by BBC Research and Development. Listeners can simply plug their standard headphones into any computer with a stereo output and then stream the specially processed audio, which should make them feel as if they are hearing the music from speakers around them, not just their headphones. There are six different surround settings to choose from, to suit different types of headphones and head shape…The trial is part of BBC Radio's continuing innovation in audio, including the launch of HD Sound, the Wimbledon NetMix experiment and ongoing trials of '3D Sound' technology."
You can listen to the experimental surround sound Christmas service on the BBC, Radio 3 website.

Ordered some new rims and tyres for my Ford Courier last week. John went above and beyond to get a great price and also the right style, size and fitment for my fussy requirements. The wheels turned up fitted and balanced and looked a million bucks. I couldn't of asked for a smoother transaction and a better guy to deal with. Thanks a million.
Had been looking at wheels for ages wanting to get great look/fitment. Called up Autocraze and spoke to Mo, he was awesome. Knew his products and put my mind at ease about the fitment. So I got my wheels and tyres (for a great price!) and I'm super happy!
AutoCraze were absolute legends to deal with when I was buying my Speedy Outlaws. Delivery to Queensland was unbelievably quick! Had the wheels fitted within a week of first making contact. Highly recommend!
The fellas at Autocraze helped heaps with the new wheels! Ordered them online and they arrived at my door 2 days later!! Awesome work fellas, cheers for all the help! Will definitely shop here again
Found the boys at Autocraze, top of the class, needed some rims for my Mustang and Mo had it all sorted. Their after sales support was fantastic too, highly recommend the guys, they are true car enthusiasts and take their time with your rims and their machinery is world class!
Awesome service, great people to deal with. Very professional and delivery was quicker than expected.. Also the car looks great, couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.
Ordered some rims and tires from these guys. Shipped Friday arrived Monday, great to deal with over the phone and the product you order is everybit as good in person. Already recommended to several friends.
Went to a very spirited drive in the mountain roads in this set of cheap sporty tyres.
Mild tyre melting with superbbb grip although my car is just 118hp but 1300kg.
It has damn good price. 100% will buy another set.
I had these on the back of a type r that I track day'd recently. I initially thought "Oh oh", gonna have to watch these, but they were suprisingly good for a cheepo tyre. I used tham in the highway, and did 140 flat out track miles. They 'smeared' over nicely on the back, and were fun to drive on.
I've yet to try them on the front, but I would deffo buy some of these over other brands.
Bought these on a whim as it was readily available at the garage and initially thought these were sound. They were ever so slightly quieter than the OE Bridgestones but when it comes to grip these reach their limit very quickly.
Wet grip is better than the Nankang NS-2 but would avoid and go up several standards for not that much more money. Will only buy them again if I was desperate for ASAP tyres which 'does the job'. Lasts surprisingly well though.
Despite the high rating on thread-wear, there was no difference from the other tyre, I have used. Uneven wear on the sides vs the center thread, despite rotation every 10,000km.
Good grip on dry, but only at the right temperature. So it requires some "heating" up first.
Wet grip also good, when it was new... But did not outperform the Ventus V12.
Going hard on corners, still will feel it slip and slide a little BUT still under control.
driving this set of tires for almost 2months (800km+)
Overall, it's a good value for money tires.. and good for touge too!
Pretty good value for money tires. Good grip on dry days and wear seems to hold.
Relatively noisy tyres which are expected for semis. Noise becomes more apparant between 75-85 km/h....after that it gets quieter...
On the whole...good value so far

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune
SEATTLE — A pitchers' duel was expected Thursday at Safeco Field, and a pitchers' duel was provided.
In the end, three Seattle Mariners pitchers combined to beat Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers, 2-0, at Safeco Field.
"Good ballgame," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "Once again, good pitching: Both starters were good. They got one big hit — two out and a base hit — and the pinch hitter came through for them. … Good game."
Verlander and Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma swapped zeroes through six innings before a finger blister got the best of Iwakuma.
In the bottom of the seventh it was a two-out rally that got the best of Verlander.
The three-hit rally began with a single from Robert Andino. Sensing there would be precious few chances available, Mariners manager Eric Wedge sent Kyle Seager in to hit for No. 9 hitter Brendan Ryan.
"It's not a normal situation where you pinch hit, but any opportunity — albeit slight — you're going to try to take advantage of it," Wedge said. "… Until we get everything going, any opportunity you can try to create for yourself you're going to try to do."
Seager made the move work, slashing a double down the left-field line as Andino motored all the way around for the game's first run.
"Against a guy like Verlander in that situation I think you have to be aggressive," Seager said. "When it comes to pinch hitting, you have to be aggressive — especially because you're not necessarily in the feel of the game, haven't had any at bats that day. It's good to get up there and be ready to go."
Endy Chavez followed with a single to left, and Seager was able to just beat the throw home.
"Give (Andino) credit for running fast," Seager said. "… And then (Chavez) did a great job afterwards knocking me in. It was three good at-bats with two outs."
That left a two-run lead for the bullpen to protect.
Carter Capps, who had relieved Iwakuma in the seventh, got through the eighth easily. Then he handed the ball to closer Tom Wilhelmsen, who went through a one-two-three ninth.
But it wasn't just any one-two-three ninth, because one, two and three were Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez.
"That's just the way it falls," Wilhelmsen said. "I can't go out there and look at it like, 'Oh, no, I have to get these guys.' That's just not the mentality to have when you're out there. It's just attack, attack, attack."
He got Cabrera to ground out to third. However, the second out was anything but routine, as Fielder blasted a ball to right-center, where Chavez chased it down with sprint and a dive.
"That catch was something else," Wilhelmsen said. "I had to control my emotions a little bit after that one. You can't get too fired up after that. It's a tough lineup, and every out is a big deal."
The final out followed on a ground ball to second. It not only ended the Mariners' homestand on an up note, but it gave Capps his first Major League victory.
"I love (pitching late in games)," Capps said. "Those are the innings I love to pitch. Obviously, I'll take any inning I can get; but it's great to pitch knowing they have that confidence in me, and it builds more confidence in me."
Detroit dropped to 9-6. The Mariners went 4-6 on the homestand and moved to 7-10 on the season before heading off on a six-game trip to Texas and Houston.
"It was a tough matchup," Wedge said. "Iwakuma was up to the task; Verlander was on his game. We had a couple of people step up. Endy Chavez had a great game: great catch at the end, but also dropping that (seventh-inning single) in there. Seeger made a nice job with his straight-in slide into home plate. Some good things to draw from."

ONTARIO - The first-ever Inland Prosperity Conference took place Saturday, intended as an opportunity for female entrepreneurs to improve their approach to work and life.
"The whole purpose is to connect people with the resources and tools they need in their business and to affect the mindset and shift their belief to one of abundance and prosperity instead of lack and scarcity," said Nicole Kinney, director of the Inland Empire Women's Business Center.
The I.E. Women's Business Center and its twin organization for the Coachella Valley hosted the event. Affiliated with Cal State San Bernardino, their mission is to assist entrepreneurs in their regions.
Kinney said she plans for the Inland Prosperity Event to become a biannual event.
Saturday's inaugural event took place at the Radisson Ontario Airport Hotel with about 120 women in the audience. The day's agenda included several guest speakers and a panel discussion with inland entrepreneurs.
The panel was comprised of Joan Roberts, owner of Riverside-based Visiting Angels; Amanda Johnson of True to Intention in Ontario, and Janet Steiner, president of Thoro Packaging in Corona.
The panelists addressed questions ranging from such issues as managing cash, business banking and how to align professional goals with management styles and life outside of work.
"When you start a business, cash is king," Roberts said. "You keep your car. You become frugal in your spending habits. You stay in your home.... The time will come when people don't pay you and you have to put out huge legal fees and you may or may not get your money back, but your business has to go on."
Roberts' company, Visiting Angels of Riverside County is an in-home health care company.
Johnson's company is an Ontario-based enterprise that provides coaching to authors. Johnson's remarks included her advice that anyone starting a business should not assume they have to restrict themselves to someone else's plan to succeed.
"One of the things I see happening a lot is that entrepreneurs want to follow models that don't feel good for them," she said. "A lot of people say, `This is the way to do it,' but it's not there. If it doesn't feel good, it's not going to work for me."
Thoro Packaging is a manufacturer that produces paperboard folding cartons. Steiner's emphasis included the importance of business owners maintaining solid relationships with their accountants and bankers.
"The biggest thing is to have a really good working relationship with your bank and have a good line of credit," she said. "Have that line of credit before you need it."

go with the cuda and don't spend money on fpga unless you really need to. The fpga's cost a fortune. Are you sure you will regain your investment?
Hi all, I've just installed CUDA drivers for my notebook video card and with BarsWF CUDA bruteforcer I can check about 120M passwords per second. Now, I'm interested in raising this value and I'm thinking about FPGA. I know there are many models around, some of them are quite out of my budget but there are models from xilinx or altera that don't cost so much.
So my question is: how many passwords per second can such a "entry level" model check against an MD5 hash?
go with the cuda and don't spend money on fpga unless you really need to. The fpga's cost a fortune. Are you sure you will regain your investment?
That being said I'm all for someone picking up one of the budget fpgas and running with tools for them. I'd be a happy guy, but since cuda hit i'm on the cuda wagon.
edit: when i mean already existing code, i'm talking table generation tools, winzip crack, etc. Most of that is written for pico fpgas.
FWIW (you may already be aware of this) but work has been done using the PS3 console against MD5, with some pretty decent results. A few different projects are around for this, IIRC including a distributed platform. The code for PS3 MD5 is evolving and improving, apparently with much room for optimisation still there. They haven't been able to access the GPU yet, only the Cell SPU's. Even so, a figure of 80M-120M hashes/sec isn't bad.
Guggle "Rensselaer Polytechnic" and "Distributed Hash Cracker".. you could use HTTP to send the hash back to the office and use the hardware there to do the legwork.
OFC precomp/rainbow is probably an easier way to go unless the hash is salted/stretched.

Rick has also been married to E.G. Daily who is one of the coolest people on earth so that must have been a misstep on her part.

Heaney adjusts and excels for Jupiter
Marlins' 2012 first-round pick hurls five one-hit innings in win
By Jake Seiner / Special to MLB.com | June 19, 2013 7:48 PM ET
The 1.07 ERA? Andrew Heaney says you shouldn't let it fool you.
"Stats can kind of lie," the 22-year-old said.
Even after picking up his first Florida State League win Wednesday in Jupiter's 3-2 win over Bradenton, Miami's 2012 first-round Draft pick, the ninth overall, was quick to point out that he hasn't been as effective as the numbers suggest.
The 73rd-ranked prospect on MLB.com's Top 100 missed the first six weeks of the season while recovering from a strained lat suffered in Spring Training. As pretty a picture as his microscopic ERA and 30-to-7 strikeout-to-walk ratio paint, Heaney's been frustrated with his brush strokes to date.
"It's been a little difficult getting back from the injury," said Heaney (1-1). "It's taking me a little longer than I thought to really hit my stride. I've been battling mechanical issues.
"I was just rushing a little toward the plate, cutting myself a little short. My arm wasn't getting up in a good position to throw to the plate and I was a little rotational. You want to be directional toward the plate. That was the main thing."
The mechanical malfunctions were causing Heaney's fastball command to waver. While he was still able to retire Florida State League hitters battling those issues, his pitch counts were building too quickly to pitch deep into games -- like when he allowed two hits and two unearned runs in only three innings at Brevard County in his previous start.
"When you're trying to get the team a win, and when I only go three or four innings, I'm not doing my job," Heaney said. "It's taxing on the bullpen. No runs over three innings doesn't do anything for us. Quality starts are really a pretty underrated stat, and that's what I was lacking."
Heaney's five innings Wednesday tied for his longest outing of the season. He added four strikeouts and walked just one.
His fastball command felt improved from the start, and he effectively worked his change-up off the heater for much of the game. The left-hander struck out Florida State League All-Star Game MVP Alen Hanson to begin the game, and added another strikeout to end the first.
He allowed his lone unearned run in the second inning on Elias Diaz's Little League inside-the-park homer. Diaz began the play with a double, but came around to score after a pair of errors by Jupiter defenders.
It was smooth sailing from there for Heaney, though, as just one more hitter reached safely. The left-hander said he hopes to parlay the mechanical improvements into further strides.
The strained lat was the first baseball injury Heaney said he has suffered, and the process of coming back from injury has been a new experience for him.
"It's a learning thing," he said. "You can learn from success and you can learn from failure and you can learn from having something shut you down for a month or two months. That's a challenge in itself."
After the injury, Heaney was unable to throw a baseball for three weeks. Once that period passed, he spent a month doing throwing drills. Wednesday's start was the Oklahoma State product's sixth appearance and fifth start since his return.
"I came to camp and I felt good," he said. "Everything felt right and smooth. Then you get hurt, you don't throw for three weeks, you rehab, then you come back and sometimes you lose your way a little bit.
"I kind of let some problems compound on me. Sometimes less is more and you just need to relax. I didn't do a great job of ironing out some mechanical issues and then I let them snowball a little bit. I was able to look over some stuff and work with [Marlins pitching coordinator Wayne Rosenthal] on that."

Raising awareness
A reliable power supply with 100% renewable energy
Stable grids even with 20% solar power: As a consortium partner, SolarWorld has supported the three-year project "Combined Power Plant 2" since 2010. The project results were finally presented to the public on October 30th. From SolarWorld's perspective, the results are very positive: With 100% renewable energy, from which 20% is solar power, the "Combined Power Plant 2" makes clear that the grid remains stable, and that "system services" can be provided such as maintaining voltage and restarting the grid in the event of a power failure. The project also demonstrates that the "blackout" concerns expressed by the fossil energy companies due to too much renewable energy are pure propaganda. Learn more about how the "Combined Power Plant 2" works here.
Khayelitsha in South Africa, Sun TV: Football and Education for South Africa
In the run-up to the 2010 FIFA Football World Cup SolarWorld AG will equip the "Football for Hope Centre" established by FIFA in the community of Khayelitsha with a Sun TV Station. This centre is one of 20 "Football for Hope Centres" whose creation follows FIFA's vision of promoting health and education together with football in South Africa.
SolarWorld's objective is to give both socially and economically disadvantaged communities access to the biggest sports event to date in their home country, the 2010 FIFA Football World Cup. By establishing a 12-component module group that will supply the Sun TV Station with a peak power output of 2.64 Kilowatt and by providing a television set including a satellite link SolarWorld will enable the South African viewers to enjoy unimpaired viewing of the games played by their own team and by the remaining World Cup participants.
Solar power plant for the Vatican
In 2008, SolarWorld AG donated a solar power system for the roof of the Aula Paolo VI papal auditorium. The roughly 2,000 modules generate approximately 315,500kWh per year and reduce CO2 emissions by around 315 metric tons. The overall concept doesn't just take into account energy aspects but also the highly complex integration of the photovoltaic system into the auditorium building. The SolarWorld engineers replaced the existing cement strips on the south side of the curved roof with special modules made in a special production process. The solar modules optimally adjust to the fan shape of the architecturally sophisticated building tapering from south to north. The special wave structure and the related aesthetics of the roof at the foot of St. Peter's Cathedral have thus been preserved. The inverters for the system were provided by the German manufacturer, SMA. SolarWorld AG was supported in the implementation of the Vatican project by its long-standing distribution partner in Italy, Tecnospot Srl.
Together with the Naturschutzverband Deutsche Umwelthilfe e.V. we support the initiative SolarLokal, a national image campaign for solar power in districts, cities and communities. SolarLokal is supported by the three central organizations of local government – the Deutscher Landkreistag (German rural district association), Deutscher Städtetag (association of German cities) and the Deutscher Städte- und Gemeindebund (German alliance of cities and communities).
For further information please go to www.solarlokal.de (only in German).
Support for the "Rain Forest" exhibition
One of the largest exhibitions worldwide on the topic of the "Rain Forest" that is to take place in the renowned natural history Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn in 2008 will be supported by SolarWorld AG. According to estimates some 70 per cent of all animal and plant species live in rain forests. Yet, this breathtaking variety of species is threatened by massive woodland clearance. In addition, the rain forest is an essential storage facility for climate gases in the sense that carbon dioxide is processed into organic matter. Thus, the increased cutting down of these forests will lead to a massive exacerbation of the climate change. What is more, the rain forests also contain a large number of resources that we will depend on in the long term, like for example for drugs.

On the 10th anniversary of the release of The Life of David Gale (SPOILERS FOLLOW), I wanted to revisit an essay I wrote about it when it was released. The film is a fictional story about a man who opposes the death penalty and ends up on death row for the rape and murder of a woman, his best friend, who works for an anti-death penalty organization. At that time many critics deemed David Gale to be a "heavy handed" message movie. Perhaps, but I think it opened a door to talk about t … [Read more...]

Diversity's Divide
In his 1968 AIA Convention keynote address, civil rights activist Whitney M. Young Jr. criticized architects for their "thunderous silence" on civil rights and social issues. Since then, the AIA has helped replace that silence with voices, but more work remains. This year, the AIA began an oral history and research project entitled AIA Diversity/Then+Now+NEXT to chronicle those voices. The project won't be complete until we've heard from you, so email email@example.com to find out how you can participate.

The Menil Collection in Houston's Museum District has commissioned the Rice Building Workshop, an annual studio at Rice University's School of Architecture, to design its café. Museum director Josef Helfenstein approached the school after seeing its ZeRow House entry in the 2009 Solar Decathlon. Based on the forms and openness of a taco truck, the café will engage the neighborhood and provide a quick bite for museum visitors. Construction is slated to begin next month.

Does this mean a more difficult jailbreak for the iphone5?
The design of the processor has nothing to do with the jailbreak solution. The only devs say they can't jailbreak "a5's" etc. isn't because of the hardware itself it's not like they literally look for flaws in the physical product it's all software based.its because the new software has different securities etc. that utilize the better performance speeds of the idevice. This will not affect the jailbreak but the new processor software specs will.
First off this argument is invalid because of so many reasons
1. The patents dont even have to do with what Samsung manufactured for apple! They don't have to do with the type of glass they use or type of ram used. It's mostly design based and software based!
2. If apple was patenting technology they bought from Samsung isn't it samsungs fault for not patenting their own technology?
3. Apple suing Samsung has nothing to do with the parts Samsung makes for apple.
4. People like you PLEASE read about the actual lawsuit before commenting with an invalid argument.
EVERY SINGLE article I have gone in to read lately has been laced with completely useless anti-apple rhetoric. It really is getting old and I wish mods would start doing something about the people who start these incredibly childish apple-vs-android,google,htc,samsung, etc etc etc. Its getting really hard to find a useful forum that is not battered with this ****, and its getting really old.
And yes, this included Apple fanboys!
"Anandtech also suggests that Apple used a slightly upclocked PowerVR SGX 543MP3 GPU on the SoC to achieve the "2x Graphics" stat that the company has been boasting."
Sounds to me like Apple is having a hard time keeping their software optimized and needs that extra boose of hardware power to keep it going. Every company underclocks the chips and gets boosts in performance from software and hardware. If Apple needs to overclock it a bit, imagine the battery life when you play a game or the heat produced. Apple is having a hard time keeping up.
am i the only one who thinks that apple making "apple cores" is really funny?
The best thing Apple did was lock the carrier out of installing their stupid bloatware. Half of the reason I used to cook Roms for WinMobile was to remove everything and get to a clean & lean OS.
The worst thing Apple did was decide they have the right to control what I can install on my own device. This is the reason I jailbreak all of my iDevices.
Give me an OS that is lean & stabile but will allow me to install what I want. If Google told OEMs & Carriers they can't mess with the stock OS but can give users access to installation packages for things like TouchWiz & at&t Navigator then I think Android would be more competitive.
Now there are some apps in iOS that I don't use and wish Apple would move them to the AppStore such as: Stocks, Weather, NewsStand, Reminders & Maps.
Finally I wish they'd move some things to the AppStore so at&t can't hold those features hostage such as: FaceTime & Cellular Data Hotspot (tethering).
It just bothers me that some guy who will never know me thinks he knows what's best for me. It would be nice to have flash support on my iPad.

| Related: How small union brings ports to standstill | PHOTOS | PHOTOS II
Cargo ships continued to gather off the coast or divert to other ports as most of the terminals at the nation's busiest seaport complex remained closed Friday during the fourth straight day of strikes by clerical workers, port officials said.
At least 60 clerical workers continued to protest in the rain Friday morning at several terminals. Because longshoremen are honoring the picket line, seven of eight terminals were still shut down at the Port of Los Angeles and three of six terminals were closed at the Port of Long Beach.| PHOTOS II
Meanwhile, nine vessels were anchored waiting to dock at the ports by Friday afternoon, while nine ships were diverted to Oakland, Panama and Mexico, according to Dick McKenna, executive director of the Marine Exchange of Southern California, which monitors vessel traffic through the twin ports.
More ships are expected to arrive this weekend, including five container vessels Saturdayand six vessels on Sunday, McKenna said.
"We are hopeful for a quick resolution," said Port of Long Beach spokesman Daniel Yi, adding that this is the first work stoppage of this magnitude in a decade at the Port of Long Beach.
The strike started Tuesday after talks fell apart between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit, the union representing more than 600 clerical workers at both ports, and their employers, the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Employers Association, which represents shipping agencies and terminal operators in Southern California.
Talks, which have been going on for more than 30 months, resumed Thursday night and both sides were continuing discussions in some form Friday, sources said.
Several politicians and officials have urged both sides to resolve negotiations, fearing more disruption at the ports, which handles 40 percent of the nation's imports.
"Both sides in this dispute understand the critical importance of keeping cargo moving through the San Pedro Bay complex," Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz said in a written statement. "Time is of the essence and we urge a mutually agreeable resolution as soon as possible so that we can return to full operations."
Nearly 3 million jobs nationally are supported by the more than $300 billion worth of goods that flow through the two ports, including dockworkers, truck drivers, rail yard workers, warehouse clerks and those along the supply chain.
"We have some of the best and most efficient cargo facilities and workforce in the world," Port of Long Beach Executive Director J. Christopher Lytle said in a written statement. "A quick resolution is critical to maintaining our status as the country's premier gateway for trans-Pacific trade and we urge the parties to come to agreement soon."
The disruption has prompted the Harbor Trucking Association, which represents more than 150 licensed motor carriers and nearly 8,000 port drivers who work at the twin ports, to send a letter Friday to Federal Maritime Commissioner and former Port of Long Beach Harbor Commissioner Mario Cordero, asking him to advocate for a quick resolution.
"As of today, the gates at most of the terminals in the San Pedro Bay Port complex are closed — preventing these 8,000 drivers from picking up containers and being compensated for their work," according to the letter. "In turn, the warehousing and processing workers that stand downstream in the supply chain are being equally impacted. In short, this closure continues to have a devastating impact on all facets of the maritime industry."
When the gates do re-open, the trucking and drayage industry will deal with "unprecedented congestion" at the terminals and a backlog of containers, according to the letter.
The striking clerical workers, who have worked without a contract since the previous one expired in summer 2010, have expressed concern about the implementation of new booking information technology that could prompt employers to outsource jobs. That technology is already being used at other ports.
The Harbor Employers Association said that it has proposed "absolute job security," guaranteed full-time pay, wage increases and a one-time $3,000 payment to each permanent employee to cover missed pay hikes in 2010 and 2011.
The proposal also calls for pension raises for the next two years and maintaining pension benefits for the following two years.
In terms of staffing and technology, employers are agreeing to give up full control over whether and when temporary employees are called in to work.
But the union is demanding that employers hire additional, unnecessary employees and is insisting on stronger restraints on the implementation and use of technology, after agreeing to back down on those demands, the employers group said.
Clerical workers picketed two prior times this year at individual terminals. Each time, an arbitrator has ruled that longshore workers couldn't participate in the walkouts.
But a higher-level West Coast arbitrator sided this week with the ILWU, saying that dockworkers can now honor the clerical workers' picket lines without violating their contracts.

Carousing in LoDo got a whole lot easier -- or at least a bit more sensible -- last New Year's Eve, thanks to the soberRide program underwritten by AT&T Wireless. Folks who'd overdone the bubbly and lacked the means or foresight to book a room downtown for the night were provided free cab rides (up to $50 in value). From 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., chariots awaited, available at cab stands or through a toll-free number. And New Year's revelers got home safely to sleep off their excesses in the comfort of their own beds.

It's not easy finding something for nothing at the Cherry Creek Mall.

Really Big Storage Bag
By Aunt B
from Fredericksburg, TX
Best Uses
Much larger than needed for my wreaths and garlands, but wonderful for under-bed storage or attic storage of other large items such as blankets, comforters, etc. I will order a couple more for storing other large items.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Each week in The Female Gaze, Faith Newport engages the trends, events, and issues that affect women—and the men who care about them.I've been noticing lately that "princess culture" has been getting a bad rap, and I'll admit it's mostly well-deserved. However, some of my favorite fictional heroines as a girl were, in fact, princesses—girls with sass, class, and some pretty hardcore fighting skills! So, just in case you know any little girls about to outgrow the two-dimensional characters fav … [Read more...]

I Believe
I found love over 40 which is why I know in my heart you can find love too.
About Ronnie Ann Ryan
Hi! I'm Ronnie Ann Ryan The Dating Coach and have 14+ years experience helping thousands of women find the magic of love. I found love using the same simple and practical methods I share today with clients.
I specialize in helping successful single women over 40 who want to find love with the right man but:
• Have nearly given up hope of finding love
• Haven't dated in years and don't know where to start
• Are frustrated with midlife dating
• Feel completely confused about how dating works
• Don't understand men
• Sabotage a new relationship
• Pick the wrong men
• Wish they had more confidence
• Want to feel more desirable
• Don't know how to flirt or understand why they should bother
• Aren't getting the results they want with online dating
• Want to meet better quality men
My proven dating advice and strategies are no nonsense, practical, and get results so you can find the love you dream of. With my private and group coaching, or do-it-yourself programs, books and audios, there is something to help every single gal who is ready for love.
My Own Success Story
I woke up on my 40th birthday (a cold January morning) still single and realized that (horrors!) I might be single for the rest of my life. I figured the best I could do was get used to that idea, since it didn't seem likely to change. By May, I decided there was NO WAY I was going to stay single if there was a breath left in my body. Summoning up all my determination, I did everything in my power to change my relationship status. And it worked!
First I had to identify what was keeping me single and realized sadly I hadn't been open to men since my college boyfriend broke my heart 18 years earlier! After working to open my heart to love and improve my desirability, I started telling everyone what I was up to. The results? I dated 30 men in only 15 months. On my last blind date, I met the man who became my husband - Paul who was #30! We got married in the spring of 2000,surprising many of my friends and family who thought I'd be single for life.
So, I know what its like to date over 40. It's not the same as dating in your 20's! I stay up-to-date with what's going on in the dating world and read everything I can get my hands on. My mission for the last 12 years has been to share my wisdom and knowledge with single women over 40 who truly desire a loving relationship with the right man.
In addition to being an internationally-known Dating Coach, I'm also a professional speaker, workshop leader and the author of MANifesting Mr. Right, Why Cant I Find Love? and the How to Sizzle vs. Fizzle Online Home Study Course. I've worked with thousands of single women to transform their love lives and help them find the amazing man they dream of.
I've been interviewed by BBC Radio, FOX and ABC News, Sally Jesse Raphael, NPR, WYBC with Lisa Wexler, Fox News Magazine, MSN.com, and MORE.com, among others in the US, UK and Australia. Get your free book 7 Dire Dating Mistakes Women Make That Keep You Single by clicking here now.

Ringo Starr
Associated Press
News about Ringo Starr, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
Highlights From the Archives
Ringo Starr's Double Life
Since 1989, when he decided to give up various forms of substance abuse and rekindle his performing career, Ringo Starr has lived a double life, musically. In one, he is the principal attraction of the All-Starrs, a nostalgia band in which members of defunct groups from the 1960's and 1970's join Mr. Starr to take turns singing their hits. In the other, he pops into the studio every few years to record an album of new material.March 23, 2003 artsNews
Ringo, the Fourth Beatle, Is Back Behind Those Drums
His comic timing and downtrodden look made him the natural cinematic focus of both "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!," and his inventive but never showy drumming was a distinctive part of the Beatles' sound.July 13, 1995 artsBiography
Ringo And a Band Of Stars
If George was the quiet one, Paul was the cute one and John was the smart one, then Ringo was the goofy one. His downturned eyes give him a look of perennial puppy-dog sweetness; he bounces back and forth when he drums, as if the very notion of rhythm makes him want to hop out of his seat.June 22, 1992 artsReview
Ringo Starr, a 60's Relic? Not if He Can Help It
"I was just a terrified little bunny out there, you know?" is the surprising way Ringo Starr now describes his life as the drummer of the Beatles. The bright spotlight in which the group stood took its toll on Mr. Starr, who in recent years has expressed regrets about abusing alcohol and drugs when he could have been enjoying the Beatles' success.May 31, 1992 artsBiography
Ringo Starr, a Survivor, Offers Sing-Along Cheer
Sheer amiability and no claims whatsoever to art or significance carried Ringo Starr through his years with the Beatles and sporadic novelty hits during the 1970's. He brings that attitude to his first tour as a headliner, with a band of fellow 60's and 70's survivors.August 7, 1989 artsReview

Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center
2345 McGee Street, Kansas City, MO
0.5 km from
฿ 6,617+
Very comfortable beds They ignored my room service card the last 2 nights.
The walkways that connect to places to eat ,stores etc. the best about this hotel. And the lobby is nice. Lines to check in and out were long and slow. I suggest you sort lines. I had prepaid and booked and still had to stand in line to check-in for 20 minutes.Had to pay by day for WiFi. So we went to free wifi locations away from hotel. Should not have to pay for that in a hotel that charges per day what this one does. And the charge per day for parking again should at least be one fee per stay. Now for the worst part of our trip. We were put by elevator. And could hear the elevator every trip up and down. All day and night. Did not get a good nights sleep. So if you stay here make sure to ask for room away from elevator locations!
I loved this hotel. One of the nicest I've ever stayed at. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was fantastic. Great view of downtown too.
We received excellent rate through hotels.com. Location to power and light very close and they have a free shuttle. Charge for parking.
Very Friendly staff everywhere I went. Large, clean, comfortable room. Love the view of the city. Close to food, jazz clubs, and crown center. Would definately recommend for a business trip or with the family. Nice, open bar with food.
Great Location. Easy access to many K.C. attractions. Pool was nice. High price, but little value. Bed was uncomfortable and noisy(creaky, squeaky). Small TV. $16 a day for parking. $10 a day for wifi. No continental breakfast.
Great location and staff. Rooms were a bit expensive for what they were
Very close to the Sprint Center.Comfortable beds and clean rooms. I was very satisfied and would stay there again.
Friendliness of the staff. Cleanliness of the rooms. Beds were extremely comfortable. Group of pre-teen boys running up and down the hallway, screaming and banging on doors in the middle of the night. Not really the hotel's.fault, but.certainly put a.damper on things.
We had a wonderful time KC is amazing Staff and room were excellent
View of City Comfortable Room Quiet Very nice shops attached, restaurant options. Staff extremely polite and helpful Signage within hotel somewhat confusing. No directions to hotel parking garage Elevator to parking garage was not labeled as such
The location and size of the room. That we have been charged for the Gym usage (US$ 5). This is ridiculous.
Very comfortable, friendly staff, very clean, conveniently located near railway station.

Marfan syndrome
Marfan syndrome is a disorder of connective tissue, the tissue that strengthens the body's structures.
Disorders of connective tissue affect the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, eyes, and skin.
Marfan syndrome is caused by defects in a gene called fibrillin-1. Fibrillin-1 plays an important role as the building block forconnective tissue in the body.
The gene defect also causes too much growth of the long bones of the body. This causes the tall height and long arms and legs seen in people with this syndrome. How this overgrowth happens is not well understood.
Other areas of the body that are affected include:
- Lung tissue (there may be a pneumothorax, in which air can escape from the lung into the chest cavity and collapse the lung)
- The aorta, the main blood vessel that takes blood from the heart to the body may stretch or become weak (called aortic dilation or aortic aneurysm)
- The eyes, causing cataracts and other problems (such as a dislocation of the lenses)
- The skin
- Tissue covering the spinal cord
In most cases, Marfan syndrome is inherited, which means it is passed down through families. However, up to 30% of patientshave no family history, which is called "sporadic." In sporadic cases, the syndrome is believed to be caused by a new gene change.
People with Marfan syndrome are usually tall with long, thin arms and legs and spider-like fingers -- called arachnodactyly. When they stretch out their arms, the length of their arms is greater than their height.
Other symptoms include:
- A chest that sinks in or sticks out -- funnel chest (pectus excavatum) or pigeon breast (pectus carinatum)
- Flat feet
- Highly arched palate and crowded teeth
- Hypotonia
- Joints that are too flexible (but the elbows may be less flexible)
- Learning disability
- Movement of the lens of the eye from its normal position (dislocation)
- Nearsightedness
- Small lower jaw (micrognathia)
- Spine that curves to one side (scoliosis)
- Thin, narrow face
Exams and Tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam. There may be hypermobile joints and signs of:
- Aneurysm
- Collapsed lung
- Heart valve problems
An eye exam may show:
- Defects of the lens or cornea
- Retinal detachment
- Vision problems
The following tests may be performed:
- Echocardiogram
- Fibrillin-1 mutation testing (in some people)
An echocardiogram should be done every year to look at the base of the aorta.
Vision problems should be treated when possible.
Monitor for scoliosis, especially during the teenage years.
Medicine to slow the heart rate may help prevent stress on the aorta. Avoid participating in contact sports to avoid injuring the aorta of the heart. Some people may need surgery to replace the aortic root and valve.
People with Marfan syndrome who have heart valve conditions should take antibiotics before dental procedures to prevent endocarditis. Pregnant women with Marfan syndrome must be monitored very closely because of the increased stress on the heart and aorta.
Support Groups
National Marfan Foundation -- www.marfan.org
Outlook (Prognosis)
Heart-related complications may shorten the lifespan of people with this disease. However, many patients survive well into their 60s. Good care and surgery may extend the lifespan further.
Possible Complications
Complications may include:
- Aortic regurgitation
- Aortic rupture
- Bacterial endocarditis
- Dissecting aortic aneurysm
- Enlargement of the base of the aorta
- Heart failure
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Scoliosis
- Vision problems
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Experts recommend genetic counseling for couples with a history of this syndrome who wish to have children.
Spontaneous new gene mutations leading to Marfan (less than 1/3 of cases) cannot be prevented. If you have Marfan syndrome, see your doctor at least once every year.

Anthony Rossi Etches Way Into Top Five Nationally
April 23, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After picking up two more victories this week at the Southeastern Conference Tournament over the 12th- and sixth-ranked players nationally, University of Kentucky senior Anthony Rossi ascended to his newest career-high ranking on Tuesday, as he climbed to No. 5 in the nation in singles, it was announced by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Rossi upped his record to 22-5 on the season with the two wins this weekend over No. 12 Romain Bogaerts of Mississippi State and No. 6 KU Singh of Georgia. Both wins came in straight sets, as Rossi yet again showed his year-long leadership on and off the court, earning critical points in the two matches.
The team checked in at No. 8 this week, up three spots after picking up its third win of the season over Mississippi State, who entered the week in the No. 9 slot. Of the current composition of the ITA top 10, Kentucky has played seven matches against those teams.
The Southeastern Conference continues its stranglehold at the top of the nation's best, as the SEC boasts 10 of the top 20 teams in the nation in No. 3 Georgia, No. 6 Tennessee, No. 7 Ole Miss, No. 8 Kentucky, No. 11 Texas A&M, No. 12 Mississippi State, No. 15 Florida, No. 16 Vanderbilt, No. 17 South Carolina and No. 20 Louisiana State.
After a 1-1 weekend, junior Tom Jomby and freshman Kevin Lai ascended one spot in the rankings to No. 8 nationally in doubles. The duo has compiled a 15-8 record on the season and played at the No. 1 spot all season long. Included in Jomby/Lai's long line of impressive wins is a victory over current No. 6 Daniel Cochrane and Andreas Mies of Auburn, 8-6.
In singles, Jomby is also No. 22 nationally, as he went 1-1 on the weekend in Oxford.
Kentucky will be back in action for the NCAA Tournament on May 10-12. The top 16 teams in the country will be selected as host institutions for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats will learn their destination and seeding in the NCAA Selection Show on April 30 at 5:00 p.m. ET. The broadcast will be live on NCAAsports.com.

New Bianchi Leather Holsters for the Concealment Market
Three New Models Fill Market Niche
Jacksonville, Florida – Safariland™, a BAE Systems line of business, announced today the introduction of three new Bianchi® leather holster models for the concealed carry and law enforcement markets. These new offerings are constructed of the same rich, full-grain leather for which Bianchi is so well known and they feature sleek contour molding for a traditional friction fit.
"The Bianchi line has a rich and distinctive following, and these new models represent the result of continual and growing customer requests for new concealed carry models," stated Scott Carnahan, Vice President Marketing, Equipment Products.

It features a fully molded holster front, giving a beautiful contoured appearance, in addition to being more comfortable to wear. The large rectangular thumb snap is a safety feature, helping to reduce the chance of the snap being caught in the trigger guard.
The Models 57 Remedy™ and 58 P.I.™ open top designs, also for semiautomatics and small frame revolvers, fill a niche in the Bianchi line previously not offered. Both models feature the fully molded holster front for improved comfort, and the open top design provides quick and convenient access. The Model 57 Remedy is designed for hip carry and the Model 58 P.I. is ideal for small of back or rear hip with a heavy 30 degree cant to accommodate for draw angle. Both models feature deep contour molding, making visible the distinct shape of the handguns they hold.
These new models, as with all Bianchi leather products, are handcrafted with top quality full-grain, vegetable tanned leather. All three models are available in plain finish, tan and black and feature dual 1.5" belt loops, providing a snug fit on the most popular belt widths. Available now at the following MSRPs.
Model 56 Serpent™ $ 62.00
Model 57 Remedy™ $ 56.00
Model 58 P.I.™ $ 58.00
