Ideaworks3D Announces Airplay(TM) 3.5 to Bring Console Developers to Mobile
• Tags:
Ideaworks3D, a leading developer of native mobile technology and applications, today announced that the release of Airplay 3.5 - the world's most advanced tools and middleware for native mobile game development - will revolutionise the way console and handheld developers look at mobile gaming. Airplay 3.5 provides full support for OpenKODE, the emerging industry standard for mobile operating system abstraction. The Khronos group has ratified Airplay as being compliant on far more platforms than any other provider. Airplay includes the world's fastest mobile software renderer, empowering rich 2D and 3D graphics on ARM9 and ARM11 handsets without hardware graphics acceleration. However, Airplay 3.5 also seamlessly supports OpenGL ES 1.x, allowing developers to exploit the power of any hardware graphics acceleration on the handset.

Cambridge UK Khronos Media Acceleration Forum presentations now online
• Tags:
The presentations from the full day Khronos Media Acceleration Forum in Cambridge UK are now online. These presentations include OpenKODE, a non-technical introduction to OpenGL ES, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, OpenSL ES overview, a technical overview of OpenGL ES 1.1, a technical overview of OpenMAX DL, IL and AL, how shader programmability with OpenGL ES 2.0 can boost overall system level performance, and high-performance 3D graphics coding for handheld devices.
Mobile Media Developer podcast #2: OpenSL ES
• Tags:
Episode #2 in the Khronos Mobile Media Developer podcast series focuses on OpenSL ES - a cross-platform foundation for audio on mobile devices with support for interactive sound for games, streaming audio, music mixers and ringtones. OpenSL ES addresses the current industry problem of a bewildering variety of proprietary audio APIs in the mobile space. Games or music applications have to either write to the lowest common demonitor (which is very low) or lose portability between devices. OpenSL ES offers a cross-platform, common API, with support for current standards built in. In addition it provides standardized access to advanced audio functionality, as well as hardware accelerated support for higher-level audio APIs such as OpenAL.

Mobile Media Developer podcast #1: OpenKODE
• Tags:
The Khronos Group has launched the first episode in the Mobile Media Developer podcast series. In this new series, the developers behind the industry standards for 3D, 2D, video and audio for mobile devices describe how the new technologies work and how they can be used by developers, carriers and manufacturers to create applications for mobile phone, handhelds and game consoles.
The first podcast previews the new OpenKODE APIs. OpenKODE provides functionally similar to DirectX on the desktop, except it is cross-platform, royalty-free and streamlined for handheld devices. The goal of OpenKODE is to make it easier for developers (and carriers) to deploy rich media applications on mobile phones, by providing system abstraction so that develoeprs don't have to worry about the underlying handset hardware or OS. It also offers state-of-the-art media acceleration technologies as well as access to operating system resources, input devices and displays.

i have been to both...
i believe if you take advantage of public school you can have the same education as a private school. as you stated the bonus with public school is the life experiences you will learn. education is one thing, but once you are out of college you depend on the life experiences you learned.
Not necessarily.
Some private schools, like catholic schools, are good schools and can go in more depth about subjects than public schools.
In other cases, private schools could rely on being called "private" to make money.
Also, some or most public school's students get more for their money.
If you are talking about getting into colleges, it does give you a extra something to put you on the map.
Yes, private schools have always been better than public...
That depends on the amount you pay to get in.
not all the time, but sometimes yes
i think it would be the student
the student makes the decisions
for example:
to study and not to study
to go to sleep early and wake up early
sometimes my teacher went to a private school and she said it changed her life but for some kids it didn't
There is a difference in class sizes that can make a difference according to how willing to tlearn the pupil is. Basically, if you're smart, you'll do better at a private school - if you're not, don't bother and don't waste the money as it's not worth it.
There is a difference in education when it comes to both systems. Although public school can give a good education, private gives a higher level of education. And the fact that it opens a greater gateway to universities of choice. i must say though, private school can take a toll on the student, they have very high expectations of their students.
I truly believe that it does make a HUGE difference. I have 3 kids and cannot afford private school but I wish I could. For starters, they would never ever tolerate the crap that goes on in public schools. I have a son in middle school and a daughter in high school and a daughter that is 22 and graduated from a public school. I have been through the gamut with these schools and teachers. It makes me sick. There is a focus on learning in private schools that the public schools do not have. They are taught self discipline and respect and do not tolerate any kind of gang, racist, bullying crap. If I had the money I would not hesitate. With all of my kids, and all the teachers they have had I can only think of ONE that I would call a good teacher. And the kids in private school do learn about life. Its not as sheltered as you may think. I used to think that also but it is wrong. They say that 10k is invested in each child going to a public school. I think they should give us the 10k up front and let us decide what kind of education our children get. The public school teachers get lazy and soon as they get tenure and basically they cannot be touched. Sorry to ramble about his but I feel so passionately about it. If you are in doubt go take a tour of both schools. Look at test grades, sit in on a class, then you will know for sure.
While I know you can find amazing teachers in public schools, a lot of it depends on your local public schools. For instance, where I live the public schools have been under academic emergency for at least the last 5 years, at one point, they were taken over by the state. There is no way in good conscience that I could send either of my children to them. Believe me I have already given the all the chances I'm going to. My son attend public school from K - 3rd grade, there was one teacher who fits the aw some label, but three who fit the did not give a damn label. Since transferring to Catholic school 2 years ago, his test scores, reading level, and happiness have all gone up immensely. I plan to put my daughter right there with him when she starts kindergarten next year.
Of course it does!!!!!! Because you won't doze off on girls you like and you'll pay attention more!!!!111
How do you not learn "as much about life itself in a Catholic school?" I went to Catholic school and taught in one for 6 years. What? You think we're isolated or something? You think there aren't drugs and pregnant, unwed kids in a Catholic school?
Do you believe the myth that Catholic schools put out unruly kids? In my 8 years teaching in two of them, I know of one kid who was expelled, after a lot of work trying to help her. She attacked another classmate and her him because she had mental problems
. But see, that's they point. In the Catholic schools I have been in, students who attack other students, let alone teachers, are put out. Public schools don't. I may have taught 15-year-olds in 8th grade in Catholic Schools, but everyone of those 8th graders could read on grade level.
I taught for 7 years in a public school. You are right that you can in public schools meet amazing teachers and get a superb education there, but those who are not interested in either teaching amazingly or getting a superb education--or even a minimal one--stop those students from getting what they deserve and stop the good teachers from teaching.
I know because after 7 years of doing everything but teaching, I ran for my life. I'd never work in a public school again without some guarantees. And I wouldn't send a dog to a public school in the city that I taught in.
Private school is a good experience for those who choose to go to one. If they don't, well, it really doesn't impact their life in any bad or good way.
It all depends on the person, the school, and how you take advantage of the things that are put in your path.

Nissan Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer.com!
Based on the symptoms it sounds as if you may have a plugged exhaust. Sometimes the catalytic converter can get plugged up and cause exactly what you describe.
Try removing the oxygen sensor (between the engine and the converter) and if it seems to run normally with this remove due to a large hole being open in the exhaust then it is plugged up.
I tried removing the O2Sensor and it still does what it was doing, and I can feather the throttle and it will rev fine its when I quickly mash it to the floor is when it does it, its like you shut the key off
yeah you have something going on there. Your situation due to the fact so much has been done already would be better suited to a live hands-on technician. You will need to find one with talent and not just a parts changer, which many are.
Good luck and any advice or help i can provide, let me know.
I was wondering if the knock sensor would cause the vehicle to act like it has a misfire? and would it cause stalling? and also would the mass air flow cause the same problems?
lol, your good. good luck with the car :)

Share it Please
What I do is usually very simple. The second I get the ARC, I read it and then queue the review to be published exactly on the release day, or if I can't, I schedule it for the day before.
However, recent discussions about this with other bloggers made me contemplate whether there's a better method.
Usually it's expected of you to have the review ready and online by the time the book is released. That's why you're getting the ARC, to deliver instant reviews even when the book has only been out for half a second.
When you get an ARC, you usually have three(ish) options when to post the review
When you get an ARC, you usually have three(ish) options when to post the review
1) The second you finish (~3-6 months before release)
+ Even if that's months ahead, you already got it out of the way
+ There's no chance you'll forget about the book
- Literally nobody cares about a book that'll be published in a couple of months time
- Honestly, not even if it's Rick Riordan or Richelle Mead, one week after the announcement people stop caring = ZERO publicity profit
- if somebody sees the review and wants the book, they can't get it yet.
2) Close to the due date (~a week before release)
+ everybody knows the book is coming, everybody's searching for early reviews
+ traffic!!!
+ simultaneously early enough to create buzz around the book (publicists likey), but also late enough to make the release seem very close and get people excited (readers likey)
- if somebody sees the review and wants the book, they can't get it yet.
- you'll have to plan this one ahead, either read the book right away and queue the post, or pray to God you'll make it in time
3) Last minute (on release day)
+ everybody knows the book is out, hello traffic
+ if you got somebody interested in the book, they can get it right away
- again, either queue or pray
- you won't be able to get people interested in the book before its release
4) #yolo
Of course you still have the "screw it" option, where you just post the review whenever. But in order to do that you really have to have your life/TBR together enough to manage to keep track of all your review copies. Because nothing's worse than requesting an ARC and not delivering a review at all. Don't do that.
When in doubt:
Ask the publicist that you've been in contact with and don't listen to people online who are probably working with different publishers and publicists that also have different expectations of you.
When do you publish your ARC reviews?
Come back next Thursday for a new Book Blogging Tips Post!

An Ohio court ruled Monday the city of Perrysburg cannot use the "quick-take" method of eminent domain to seize certain properties.
Perrysburg is suing to seize a number of properties along Fort Meigs Road as part of a widening project. Homeowners objected, calling the process the city was using to immediately claim possession of their front yards illegal.
Two property owners challenged the city's ability to take their property because they live in Middleton Township; not in the city of Perrysburg. They said Perrysburg cannot seize land outside its borders.
Wood County Probate Judge David Woessner issued the ruling prohibiting the city from proceeding under the quick-take process.
Under Ohio law, eminent domain proceedings mirror a traditional civil lawsuit with a decision by a jury. But if the project is making or repairing a road, a government can take possession of the disputed property immediately upon filing for eminent domain — even before the case undergoes the normal court process — through what is known as a "quick take."
RELATED: Ohio city uses eminent domain to seize land outside its borders
Homeowners argued that since the Fort Meigs Road widening also called for an extra-wide multi-use path and "other municipal purposes," the project didn't qualify for quick-take.
Woessner agreed, saying that "(t)o determine otherwise would simply be to add language which does not exist" in the Ohio Revised Code.
"(T)he proposed appropriations are for . . . 'other municipal purposes,' as well as references to 'installing pedestrian walkways and sidewalks' as well as 'for providing for public utilities.' This Court finds that if the legislature intended for 'quick-take' procedures to extend to other areas, those other areas would have accordingly been referenced somewhere . . . They are not."
"The Court further finds that expanding 'quick take' immediate possession of private property . . . beyond the clearly stated purpose of 'making or repairing roads' is not appropriate as a matter of law in appropriation/eminent domain cases. . ."
As a result of the ruling, Perrysburg must wait for the traditional eminent domain process to conclude before proceeding with the road project.
But the request to halt the eminent domain process on the properties outside the city was denied.
The city of Perrysburg amended the eminent domain lawsuit and added Middleton Township as an additional plaintiff.
The addition of the township made the homeowners' objection moot, the judge wrote in his decision.
Maurice Thompson, executive director of the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law and the attorney for the homeowners, welcomes the decision.
"Governments have increasingly been using quick-take for anything and everything, rather than just for roads, intimidating Ohioans and stripping them of their right to mount any legal objection in court," he said. "The court's ruling is a victory for private property rights across Ohio."
Woessner ordered an expedited mediation to take place prior to the jury trial, which he ordered scheduled "at the earliest available date."

|Local civic leader selected to lead the Southwest Dairy Museum in a new direction
|From Staff Reports
Carolyn McKinney, who is well known for her service to and fundraising efforts for the American Cancer Society, has been named to replace 17-year Southwest Dairy Museum director Jodie Morris, who recently retired.
Although McKinney has only been on the job three weeks, she has already begun making positive strides in the museum's new focus toward more community involvement and support of county dairymen.
Saturday, Sept. 19, the museum entered a float in the Hopkins County Fall Festival Parade for the first time, and came home with the award for having "Best Overall Entry."
"The goal we have now is for the Southwest Dairy Museum to become more involved in Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County," said Southwest Dairy Museum General Manager Jim Hill. "I know that Carolyn McKinney's involvement in the community will be beneficial in the museum attaining that goal. Carolyn has a long and successful record of achievement in Hopkins County, and we're glad to have her as an important part of our staff."
While this is the first time McKinney has taken such an active leadership role at the museum, this is by no means her first time to assist with museum operations. From 1997 until 2002, McKinney was employed as secretary to the director of the Southwest Dairy Museum. In 2002, she left the museum to become full-time director of preschool ministry at First Baptist Church.
"I am thankful for the years that I worked as Jodie's secretary," McKinney said. "I learned much in those five years with Jodie that will help me in this serving the Dairy Farm Families of the Southwest as the museum director of the Southwest Dairy Center, and I will work to exceed their expectations as we continue to share the mission of this organization."
The new museum director is a Sulphur Springs native who currently serves on the American Cancer Society board, the Star Nuckolls Foundation board, the Boys and Girls Club board, the Dairy Festival board, and as a Chamber of Commerce Ambassador.
She has been very active in the local American Cancer Society Relay For Life since 2000, holding a variety of leadership positions� from committee volunteer up to Relay For Life chairman for both 2004 and 2005. She was also chosen to be an American Cancer Society Ambassador to "Celebration on the Hill" in Washington D.C., later this month in honor of her achievements with Relay For Life.
McKinney is married to Dan McKinney, a teacher at North Hopkins ISD. They have three children. Prior to accepting the position of museum director, she was employed for 15 years as the part-time Director of Preschool Ministry at Sulphur Springs First Baptist Church.

Molecular Mechanics of Stutter Defects in Vimentin Intermediate Filaments
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
- Citations
- 167 Downloads
Vimentin coiled-coil alpha-helical dimers are elementary protein building blocks of intermediate filaments, an important component of the cell's cytoskeleton. All intermediate filament dimers feature a highly conserved 'stutter' region, a sequence of amino acids that interrupts the superhelical coiled-coil arrangement of the two alpha-helices, leading to a parallel arrangement of the alpha-helices in this region. Earlier studies have suggested that the stutter plays an important role in filament assembly. Here we show that the stutter also has a significant effect on the mechanical behavior of vimentin dimers. We develop an Extended Bell Model to provide a theoretical description of the unfolding behavior of coiled-coil structures, capable of capturing different molecular geometries and loading rates. The Extended Bell Model predicts that the stutter represents a molecular defect at which unfolding occurs at lower forces than in the rest of the protein. Our studies suggest that the presence of the stutter leads to a softer structure with more homogeneous plastic strain distribution under deformation. The predictions by the Extended Bell Model are confirmed by large-scale MD simulations of three model systems: Two parallel alpha-helices, a coiled-coil dimer, as well as a coiled-coil dimer with a stutter. The simulations prove that in agreement with the prediction based on our Extended Bell Model, the stutter represents the locations at which the protein structure has the least resistance to unfolding. We discuss the implications of this molecular architecture in terms of its biological function.

Configuring Linux servers for remote support
Configuring secure shell (SSH) on a Linux box may be the best way to provide remote server support.
This Article Covers
Desktop computers and mobile devices
What's the best way to configure Linux clients and servers for remote support?
There are many specialty type products on the market that cater to the Windows crowd which provide remote control support and the capability to dial into their boxes. With Linux, things work differently. All you need to do is configure ssh (which is typically already installed on any Linux box) to provide remote support capability. For those of you already familiar with telnet, SSH is a more secure way of remotely logging in to Linux clients or servers. Secure Shell or SSH is a set of standards and an associated network protocol which establishes a secure channel between a local and a remote computer. It provides confidentiality and integrity of data exchanged between the two computers. Typically, SSH is used to log into a remote machine and execute commands, but it also supports tunneling and forwarding TCP ports and X11 connections. An SSH server, by default, listens on the standard TCP port 22 and is usually already configured to run out of any Linux box. The server based SSH configuration files are usually ssh and sshd.conf, usually in the /etc directory. You can get the SSH client, puddy, for free.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Although last week certainly had some earnings movers, this week is sure to be active, with 30% of the S&P 500 set to report. Providing us with a rundown are TheStreet's Brittany Umar, Lindsay Bell and Andrew Krill.Although McDonald's ( MCD) kicked off earnings on Monday, Netflix ( NFLX) and Texas Instruments ( TXN) will certainly keep it interesting after the bell. Tuesday doesn't slow down much, with Wendy's ( WEN) and Freeport-McMoRan ( FCX) reporting in the morning. Perhaps the biggest report on Tuesday will be after the bell, with Apple TICKER TYPE="EQUITY" SYMBOL="AAPL"/> announcing its quarterly results. Analysts are expecting a year-over-year decline in profits with flat revenues. AT&T ( T) also will report after the close. The morning will be busy come Wednesday, with PepsiCo ( PEP), Boeing ( BA), Caterpillar ( CAT) and Ford ( F) all reporting before the bell. With Baidu ( BIDU) and Facebook ( FB) after the bell, Wednesday is sure to remain hectic. Thursday will also be active in the morning, with four more big names reporting: General Motors ( GM), Under Armour ( UA), 3M Company ( MMM) and Dunkin Brands ( DNKN). Starbucks ( SBUX) and Zynga ( ZNGA) will report after the bell and cap a rather busy week. On Friday morning, investors will see the Michigan Consumer Confidence report for the month of June. As of now, economists expect a reading of 84, vs. a reading of 83.9 for the month of May. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. . Follow @BretKenwell

If You Look For Evil - Poem by Francis Duggan
If you look for evil good you cannot see
For your eyes only tell you what they want you in others to see
Of good and bad races you keep telling me
But your opinions are different to mine we see things differently.
I've worked with those of different races and backgrounds and in truth I can say
That people as a whole are quite good in their own way
Of different beliefs and cultures but I found them to be okay
If you show respect for others respect to you they will pay.
When you start comparing races you I do not wish to hear
your ignorance on such matters only based on your fear
Of those you see as different to you difference you cannot embrace
'Tis wrong to condemn people because of their race.
If you are only looking for flaws in those who are different to you then flaws you will find
To the good that is in them you do become blind
In this multicultural World your thinking renders you as small
One must admire those who believe in a fair go for all.

No posts in a couple weeks, except the Re-Blogs. Guess the running around and getting married I did last week had an effect on the blog. Since it took up a lot of the last couple of weeks I thought I might share some of the highlights.
It was a great time. I really appreciated that people came to join us for the day.

A WYCOMBE school was treated to a hockey masterclass from a Team GB star this week.
Alex Danson, who top-scored for GB as they powered to bronze at London 2012, stopped in at Wycombe High School on Monday to pass on her expertise and give the girls a taste of what it takes to make it to the very top of the sport.
Danson hosted a special assembly at the start of the day before working individually with year sevens to 13s.
Year seven striker Cleo Pryor said: "I watched her during the Olympics, but she wasn't like a celebrity or a star on television.
"She was very down to earth and an ordinary person.
"I learned a lot and especially liked seeing her bronze medal – it was incredible. I thought she was really inspiring."
Danson said: "What an absolutely amazing group of students. They were so polite and enthusiastic with great skills. They will go far.
"I love my visits into schools and I passionately believe that every young person has the ability to pursue something that they are inspired to do.
"In our preparation for the Olympics, we spoke about being 'gold' in all of our behaviours and having that mentality every day and that is the message I am trying to give to young people.
"Have that dream, have something you inspire to be and work to your very best, be your best and who knows what might happen?"
Wycombe High School's Head of PE, Vicki Williams said: "Alex has inspired a new generation at Wycombe High School and we will now use this as a stepping stone in aiming for further success in hockey, PE and sport at the school."

Unless you've been living in a deep, dark cave… You may have noticed that there is a lot of cool stuff going on out there. So, we thought it was high-time we started rounding up some of our faves each Friday. Every month, we'll be choosing a theme that fits with the Osprey lifestyle. Since it's about this time of year that people seem to start getting antsy with wanderlust, we figured we'd feature one of our favorite topics: travel. Welcome to the Osprey Friday Round-Up!
In the day and age of all-internet-all-the-time, even when we embark on an adventure it's hard to totally disconnect. Case in point: you can now tweet from Everest. But what's it like to really unplug?
New York Times media columnist David Carr embarks on "a vacation that's about absolutely nothing," to find out exactly that. Six straight days completely disconnected on a lonely island in the Bahamas; no Twitter, no Facebook, no anything, just a Flip video camera to capture his thoughts. The resulting video — which you can watch here — reminds us how easy it is to get caught up in the everyday flurry of a "connected" life. As Carr muses, "I think the modern lifestyle gives us very poor visibility into the environment that we move through." Agreed!
Diving in
The great thing about travel is that you're forced to push your comfort zones. Language barriers, cultural differences and even confusing and humorous road signs are all part of the game. But to get the full effect you have to go all out and dive right on in. That's particularly true when it comes to food. National Geographic has a great photo gallery on street food to get you thinking about all the culinary possibilities your next trip could entail, if you're ready to take them on.
And speaking of diving in, apparently Americans are not. At least according to a new survey that says Americans are the least adventurous travelers. Now granted the survey was based on respondents answering how likely they were to eat fried tarantula, stay with a local family, haggle at a local market and other activities, but the fact that America is lagging behind some of our anglophone friends is a little cause for concern. Maybe it's because we're spending too much time concerned with being connected??
Solution? Get out and get more active! At least that's the Osprey mantra.
So in celebration of disconnecting and diving in, here's to a great weekend!

Respond or ask your question now!
Barcelona, Spain � 11th February 2008 - Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII), (Japan) and Varioptic Lyon (France) � Varioptic and SII announced today the signature of a cooperation agreement to develop, manufacture and market Varioptic's Liquid Lens products. The aim of this agreement is to achieve a significant penetration with Liquid Lens products in the fast growing camera module market and other large volume end equipment markets such as barcodes and webcams.
SII will use its manufacturing expertise as the number one supplier of Backup button battery and Capacitor to Cellular phone companies to produce Liquid Lens units in very high volume with aggressive cost reduction to ensure liquid lens products maintain their cost advantage for auto-focus.
SII production capacity plan is expected to reach 0.5 million units per month by 3Q of 2008 and will expand mass production capacity according to market needs.
This agreement builds on an existing production capacity for Arctic 314 and Arctic 416 liquid lenses designed for 5�Megapixel, 1/3" and 1/4'' format camera modules.
Varioptic will continue to develop the liquid lens technology and to ensure the system wide competitiveness of the Liquid Lens products. Varioptic's liquid lens feature many advantages over competing technologies in terms of cost, size, robustness, power consumption, silent operation and speed. These advantages position liquid lenses particularly well for the emerging camcorder phone market where continuous auto-focus for video is a "must-have" feature.

Jeremiah 12 - NIV
Jeremiah's Complaint
Jeremiah's Complaint
You are always righteous, Lord,
when I bring a case before you.
Yet I would speak with you about your justice:
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the faithless live at ease?
You have planted them, and they have taken root;
they grow and bear fruit.
You are always on their lips
but far from their hearts.
Yet you know me, Lord;
you see me and test my thoughts about you.
Drag them off like sheep to be butchered!
Set them apart for the day of slaughter!
How long will the land lie parched
and the grass in every field be withered?
Because those who live in it are wicked,
the animals and birds have perished.
Moreover, the people are saying,
"He will not see what happens to us."
God's Answer
God's Answer
"If you have raced with men on foot
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble[a] in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets by[b] the Jordan?
Your relatives, members of your own family—
even they have betrayed you;
they have raised a loud cry against you.
Do not trust them,
though they speak well of you.
"I will forsake my house,
abandon my inheritance;
I will give the one I love
into the hands of her enemies.
My inheritance has become to me
like a lion in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.
Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.
Many shepherds will ruin my vineyard
and trample down my field;
they will turn my pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.
It will be made a wasteland,
parched and desolate before me;
the whole land will be laid waste
because there is no one who cares.
Over all the barren heights in the desert
destroyers will swarm,
for the sword of the Lord will devour
from one end of the land to the other;
no one will be safe.
They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.
They will bear the shame of their harvest
because of the Lord's fierce anger."
14 This is what the Lord says: "As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel, I will uproot them from their lands and I will uproot the people of Judah from among them.
15 But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to their own inheritance and their own country.
16 And if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, 'As surely as the Lord lives'—even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among my people.
17 But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it," declares the Lord.

SPORTS >> Like them or not, Williams sisters are simply remarkable
Leader sports editor
There have been countless sets that came before them, from the DiMaggios to the Niekros to the Alous to the Mannings.
None of those sports siblings, however, have came close to achieving what Venus and Serena Williams have achieved and thats even taking into account Peyton and Eli Mannings back-to-back Super Bowl rings.
The Williams sisters are in a class by themselves when it comes to brother or sister acts. The numbers say it all, but there is also the fact that they are racking up those numbers contemporaneously in an individual sport which one or the other has dominated for most of the past nine years, often earning their crowns at the others expense.
First the numbers: 18 Grand Slam singles titles (11 for Serena); nine Grand Slam doubles championships together, including four at Wimbledon; eight of the past 10 Wimbledon singles titles between them; Olympic gold for the sisters in doubles in 2008 and a gold medal in singles for Serena in 2000.
Last weekend in England, Venus and Serena delivered the total package, reaching the singles finals Serena won and capturing the doubles championship together. Really, what more could they have done?
And yet, given the remarkable story that is the Williams sisters, they seem not to receive the recognition and the accolades that that story and their remarkable accomplishments merit, either from the media or the fans.
Yes, it is perhaps understandable that what they did last week was eclipsed by Roger Federers record-setting 15th Grand Slam in a one-for-the-ages win over American Andy Roddick. But, really, should what the Williamses did be relegated to a Wimbledon afterthought?
I think there are several reasons that go beyond the race issue for the fans reluctance to fully embrace the sisters, though I am not discounting the idea that being supremely accomplished African-American athletes in a mostly Caucasian, if thoroughly international, sport engenders some resentment. And yet Tiger Woods seems to be beloved by a majority of golf fans who are overwhelmingly white.
No, I think the matter of the Williamses cool, if polite, reception from the sports world has more to do with their personalities, their style and the game of tennis itself.
From the outset, Serena and Venus adopted an us-against-the-world demeanor, which set the stage for icy relationships with fellow players, several of whom were openly critical of what they perceived as the sisters smugness. They were reported to be aloof and apparently didnt feel the need to develop any camaraderie in the locker room.
With the media, both could seem petulant and neither was particularly gracious in suffering defeats early in their careers.
(Today, their offerings to the media seem rehearsed, strained and not genuine).
For that, they can blame their father, a man who also deserves enormous praise for guiding his young daughters through a mine-filled childhood in violent Compton, California. Richard Williams was undoubtedly instrumental in developing that us-against-the-world mentality in his daughters, but he is also responsible for that singleness of purpose that has served them so well.
From early on, he set their sights on the prizes they have gone on to accumulate at such a remarkable level.
But being home-schooled Jehovas Witnesses certainly couldnt have done the girls any favors in terms of socialization and must only have added to their sense of being unique and isolated.
They have also been criticized I think, unfairly by former greats Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, among others for not dedicating themselves exclusively to the sport. Serena and Venus have both branched off into other pursuits, including modeling and clothing design.
The fact that they seem able to take time off, and then can so effortlessly return to dominate again, has to be a source of frustration and resentment for the other players on the tour. Those other pursuits surely add to the perception of aloofness, as well.
Yet, in some ways, it is admirable that they have other interests, that despite their fathers iron-fisted drive and single-mindedness, they have discovered a world beyond the rigors and grind of professional tennis.
Add to all of that the fact that the overpowering, somewhat graceless game of Serenas is not exactly a crowd-pleaser. Venus has the more graceful game, but Serena is the more media-savvy these days.
Finally, the sport itself is in decline, thanks primarily to brackets filled with indistinguishable names that all seem to end in ova. The sisters and the sport would benefit from either another American rival though none seem to be on the horizon or from the return to form of Maria Sharapova.
One gets the sense that the Williams sisters themselves arent particularly concerned with how they are received a fact both admirable and at the same time reinforcing of their aloof reputations.
Whatever your feelings about Serena and Venus Williams, their presence is no less eclipsing than Tigers. We should probably all step back and relish the singularity of their accomplishments while theyre still playing the game.

Low coolant
I have a 2010 328i with about 30,000mi. During the 14,000mi between services the low coolant light came on. At the dealer they said it is normal (of course). Now after about 5,000mi I can see the colant level below min again.
I owned cars for many years and coolant level was an issue only when there is a leak.
Any comments?
A fib - they should note their story on their service report. If not, move to get that.
Which dealer?
Find the leak?

I have been asked to remind local farmers of the Natural Resources Conservation Service Farm Bill Program.
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service in Kentucky is encouraging landowners, farmers and producers to visit their local NRCS office now to receive information and apply for conservation technical assistance and possible financial funding opportunities.
To help with portion control, use the smallest plate that will hold your food.
At mealtime, serve from the stove instead of putting a serving bowl on the table.
Make double vegetables and serve them first, to take the focus off meat.
Switch to whole wheat pasta.
Eat vegetarian one night a week.
Cut back on butter or margarine – newer whole-grain breads are tasty on their own.
The 2013 Kentucky Fruit and Vegetable Conference and Trade Show will have something of interest for all fruit and vegetable producers. This year's event convenes at 8 a.m. Jan. 7 at Lexing-ton's Embassy Suites Hotel and concludes around 5 p.m. Jan. 8.
Preconference activities on Jan. 6 include a Winemaking Techniques Workshop from 1- 5:30 p.m. in Seay Auditorium on the University of Kentucky campus; a reception and the Kentucky Farmers' Market Association annual meeting; and a fruit roundtable discussion from 7:30-9 p.m. at the hotel.
Do you know how to keep your food safe? Some of the things you may have heard about food safety are true, but others are not. The Partner-ship for Food Safety Education shares some food safety myths that need to be "busted," and the facts you need to know to help prevent foodborne illness.
Myth: I'm a vegetarian, so I don't have to worry about food poisoning.
Some people think of Santa, joy, reindeer and presents when the holidays come around. Others may think of stress, exhaustion, long lines and misery. It is not uncommon to find yourself in the latter category, especially if you have numerous family gatherings and a long list of shopping to get done. It may seem like the holidays are more work than enjoyment.
Handling holiday stress can be hard. But if you follow some of these tips you may find yourself much more relaxed and rested during the holiday season.
Poinsettias combine the traditional red and green colors of the Christmas holidays. Poinset-tias are the most popular holiday flowers, and they are spectacular this year! You can find them in abundance in many of our area stores. When I think of Christmas flowers, the poinsettia is always at the top of my list. There are other holiday flowers like cyclamen, Christmas cactus, kalenchoe and even orchids, but the poinsettia is my favorite Christmas flower!
Did you know that 91 percent of children are aware of parent stress? Although there are a lot of fun things to do this time of year, it can also be very stressful. Along with the holidays comes stress related to spending, entertaining, travel and changes in routine. Follow some of these tips to help reduce the stress that your family may feel:
The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy, but for some older adults, especially those living alone or in long-term care, holidays can be met with stress, confusion and feelings of sadness and loneliness, often intensified because holidays can be further reminders of the loss of loved ones, health and even independence. During this time of year, older adults can become isolated from their friends, family and community, leading to an increased risk of depression. There are several ways to make the holidays brighter and more tolerable, however.
Ovarian cancer is often considered a silent killer, because many times, women do not know they have it until it is too late. Ovarian cancer accounts for 3 percent of all cancers diagnosed in women and is the deadliest gynecological cancer. This year, The American Cancer Society estimates that doctors will diagnose more than 22,000 cases of ovarian cancer in the United States and 15,500 American women will die of the disease.

For the last 10 years, 79-year-old Aiuppa has been at the top of the FBI chart as the boss of Chicago`s crime syndicate. Authorities say his career in organized crime has spanned more than 50 years.
Aiuppa, a widower with no children, lives in a home in Oak Brook on a five-acre lot. He suffers from heart problems and phlebitis, and underwent knee surgery before the trial began. As a result, he used a cane to get around. Aiuppa has been an avid hunter and fisherman, making yearly trips to the Canadian backwoods to pursue his hobby.

Bullock wins Favorite Movie Actress, Timberlake claims Favorite Album and Favorite Male Artist, while DeGeneres is dubbed Favorite Daytime TV Host.
Sandra Bullock and Justin Timberlake have already bagged multiple prizes at the ongoing People's Choice Awards. Leading the movie nominees with five, the "Gravity" star snatched Favorite Movie Actress which was announced first during the live broadcast.
On stage, she jokingly said that it must seem "like I spend lonely Friday nights voting for myself." The Academy Award winner claimed victories in Comedic Movie Actress and Dramatic Movie Actress as well.
Timberlake also took top honors in music categories. He was named Favorite Male Artist, edging out the likes of Blake Shelton and Bruno Mars, while his chart-topping record "The 20/20 Experience" was chosen as Favorite Album.
Ellen DeGeneres grabbed an award for Favorite Daytime TV Host. "There's nothing better than knowing you make people happy," she said in her acceptance speech.
The first trophy was handed out on the red carpet before the ceremony began. It went to "Orange Is the New Black" for Favorite Streaming Series. Other early winners included "The Walking Dead" (Favorite Cable TV Drama), Ian Somerhalder (Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Actor) and Lucy Hale (Favorite Cable TV Actress).
Queen Latifah, Adam Sandler, Britney Spears, Kaley Cuoco and Chris Colfer were among other stars honored at the event.

An important person in Dexter's life is killed before he manages to finish the Brain Surgeon off.
Dexter wants to start a new life with Hannah. After letting Dr. Vogel know of his plans to leave Miami, he tells her sister Debra who doesn't respond well to the news, accusing him of being selfish by making such decision.
Before taking Harrison with him and Hannah to Argentina, Dexter has a lot to do first, including killing the Brain Surgeon. Dexter enlists Dr. Vogel's help to lure the Brain Surgeon to a location in order to get him on the table. But before Dexter is able to finish him off, the Brain Surgeon apparently murders an important person in Dexter's life before his eyes.
A sneak peek for the last three episodes of "Dexter" final season also hints that the Brain Surgeon will come to find the title character first, threatening the safety of his loved ones. Someone tells Deb's former boss that she may hide Hannah in her place, and a hurricane threatens to derail Dexter's plan to leave the country.
"Dexter" takes a week hiatus on Labor Day weekend and will return with the new episode, "Goodbye Miami", on Sunday, September 8 at 9 P.M. ET/PT on Showtime.

The release of their 21st studio album, Cogs, Wheels & Lovers, is a record that will typically see Steeleye Span buck their own trend and go back to their roots; the interpretation of traditional song. This though, has always been the Steeleye way. Tied not to the past, the present or the future - simply timeless.

As a wedding gift, Kanye West commissioned artist Bambi to paint a portrait of Kim Kardashian in a g-string and a pair of Louboutins. The portrait was done on metal and features the words "My Queen Kim" down the left side and the title "Perfect Bitch" on the right.
Mirrorreports that Bambi's manager and agent Leonard Villa said that Kanye wanted "something regal but typically Kim."
So, @KanyeWest apparently got this wedding present for @KimKardashian - a painting of her in a thong by Bambi: pic.twitter.com/yTXYYj1amz
— People Magazine SA (@People_SA) June 2, 2014
The best part: Bambi completed the five-figure painting in three weeks and that they "weren't told the image had to remain exclusive, so she could have more in the pipeline." Watch for the possibility of these prints showing up in your local art galleries for purchase if you're into that sorta thing.

Recently, Standaert et al. (Crypto\'13) advocated the notion of simulatable leakage
as a means to connect theoretical leakage resilience to practice.
They argued that using simulators based on actual physical devices, the
assumptions underlying their proofs of side channel resistance
become empirically `verifiable\' as evaluation labs can scrutinise the indistinguishability
of the simulator by actually `playing\' the games that involve real versus simulated leakage.
Standaert \\emph{et al.} proposed a concrete, block cipher based instantiation of a leakage
resilient pseudorandom generator. They provided a high level definition of a simulator based
on splicing two partial traces, and included detailed reasoning why their simulator (for AES-128) would resist state-of-the-art side channel attacks.
We exhibit a distinguisher against their simulator, thereby falsifying their hypothesis.
We demonstrate the efficacy of our distinguishing technique by experimental validation
using concrete implementations of the Standaert \\emph{et al.} simulator on several different platforms.
Our successful analysis is based on `tracking\' consistency (and likewise spotting simulator
inconsistencies) in leakage traces by means of cross correlation.
By taking the cross correlation between trace points, we can estimate real-or-simulated based either on a single key that is used multiple times, or based on multiple runs of
Standaert\'s \\emph{et al.} security game with varying keys each used only once.
Since the game hybridizes (in the number of keys used), the latter implies that theoretically
our distinguisher already wins when a single key is used with a single trace of side channel leakage!
Finally, we propose several alternative simulators, based on splitting traces at points of low intrinsic cross-correlation, which are more promising w.r.t.~the cross-correlation distinguisher. Unfortunately, these new simulators come with significant caveats, and we conclude that the most natural way of producing simulated leakage is by using the underlying construction `as is\' (but with a random key).
Provided the actual implementation has a low signal-to-noise ratio, we believe it practically infeasible to distinguish between real and simulated traces: when only a few very noisy leakages are made available to an attacker, signal processing techniques that rely on having sufficient observations are not applicable.

Still a Better Deal: Private Investment vs. Social Security
February 15, 2012
Opponents of allowing younger workers to privately invest a portion of their Social Security taxes through personal accounts have long pointed to the supposed riskiness of private investment. The volatility of private capital markets over the past several years, and especially recent declines in the stock market, have seemed to bolster their argument, says Michael Tanner, a senior fellow with the Cato Institute.
However, private capital investment remains remarkably safe over the long term.
- Despite recent declines in the stock market, a worker who had invested privately over the past 40 years would have still earned an average yearly return of 6.85 percent investing in the S&P 500, 3.46 percent from corporate bonds and 2.44 percent from government bonds.
- If workers who retired in 2011 had been allowed to invest the employee half of the Social Security payroll tax over their working lifetime, they would retire with more income than if they relied on Social Security.
- Indeed, even in the worst-case scenario -- a low-wage worker who invested entirely in bonds -- the benefits from private investment would equal those from traditional Social Security.
While there are limits and caveats to this type of analysis, it clearly shows that the argument that private investment is too risky compared with Social Security does not hold up. With Social Security already running a cash flow deficit today -- and facing a $21 trillion shortfall in the future that will make it impossible to pay promised benefits -- private investment and personal accounts should be part of any discussion about reforming the troubled system.

I am looking to build a Ruby on Rails website for a hotel and am trying to figure out what the best approach to address the integration of a booking engine might be.
Does anyone have had a good experience with a 3rd party booking engine which would integrate relatively well with a Ruby On Rails app ( the hotel is based in Ireland, if that is of any relevance)?
Or is there any gem which could maybe lay the foundations for a reservation engine(I have mainly seen event/calendars gems which didn't seem to be maintained anymore, and none of the booking-related gem I saw seemed to fit the bill)?
Is it something I should consider building completely from scratch?
Thanks a lot for any suggestion!
Hi LoicS,
Yes, I'd start with the most important tasks of the app and work back from there. e.g. listing rooms and allowing for bookings.gems are usually small and specific, you'll use lots for different tasks, not one big system that you drop in.
Thanks for the reply.I guess that will be the way to go!

June 12, 2012
ARLINGTON, Texas - UT Arlington has announced the hiring of Alan Bishop as assistant strength and conditioning coach. Bishop comes to UTA after more than two years at Southern Utah University.
"We're excited to have to have him and he brings a wealth of knowledge to our strength and conditioning department," UT Arlington head strength and conditioning coach Kathy Wagner said.
Bishop joined Southern Utah as assistant strength and conditioning coach in January 2010. Bishop will work primarily with men's and women's basketball, and men's and women's tennis at UTA.
"I am extremely excited to have Coach Bishop join our UTA Basketball family," UT Arlington men's basketball coach Scott Cross said. "He brings a wealth of experience and has a commanding presence in the weight room with our guys. I am confident that our guys are going to continue to get bigger, faster and stronger each and every week under his leadership and direction.
"By creating this position, President Spaniolo and Jim Baker have again shown their commitment to basketball here at UTA, and I am very thankful that we have found someone as good as Coach Bishop."
A four-year football letterman at Utah State University, Bishop earned his bachelor's degree in exercise science from USU in 2009. While at Utah State, Bishop was a four-time academic all-conference selection as well as a five-time Whiteside Scholar.
Bishop holds the CSCS certification from the National Strength & Conditioning Association and USAW-Level I certification from USA Weightlifting.
A native of Ozark, Alabama, Coach Bishop is married to the former Jessica Crosbie. He and Jessica have a daughter, Jayda.

Bellevue Police investigating Marshawn Lynch - Aug. 11, 2014

Twitter: @Curtis_Crabtree
The Bellevue Police Department says they are actively investigating Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch for assault and personal property damage stemming from an alleged incident early Sunday morning.
The alleged incident took place at 2:30 a.m. at a downtown Bellevue apartment unit. A female victim has alleged that Lynch was the perpetrator.
Per the Bellevue PD says they are in the process of gathering information about the alleged incident, including whether Lynch was even involved. The release states that no domestic violence or sexual assault was involved in this allegation.
The case has been assigned a detective and is being investigated. No arrests have been made.
Lynch was arrested and charged with a DUI in July 2012 in Oakland, Calif.
Lynch ultimately plead guilty to a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving in February to close that case.
Lynch was expected to receive two years probation as punishment for that incident. If it turns out Lynch is involved in the Bellevue case, it could lead to further punishment in California in addition to possible discipline from the NFL.

BREAKING: Governor #Malloy officially announces proposal to allow liquor to be sold seven days a week.
Aside from the convenience of being able to shop on Sunday or as late as 10 p.m., consumers could see lower prices for alcohol, one of the products for which Connecticut long has had a "minimum markup." […] The Malloy administration hopes to realize greater tax revenues from the longer hours and Sunday sales, but the main goal is a more competitive regulatory structure that yields lower prices for consumers and discourages state residents from crossing into New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island for alcohol.
The arguments against this proposal are exceedingly lame. Lobbyists whine that 52 additional days is too much for stores to stores to remain open for. Are stores in other states affected by this? What about virtually every other country on earth? Give me a fucking break.
Some groups are concerned that children will have more access to alcohol. Of course, selling alcohol to minors would still be illegal. Still, in theory, making something that was previously available 6 days of the week now available for 7 days of the week does create more access. However, not many minors will purchase alcohol for Sunday or weeknight parties; it's just not logical.
Dan Malloy is spot-on about this.


text: Tales of Intransigence by Reis Çelik (2005, 90 min.). Without a proper screenplay, and only one professional actor in the cast, Çelik undertakes an experiment in filmmaking that celebrates the tradition of communal participation in storytelling. A race between a horse-drawn sleigh and a minibus on the borders of a frozen lake forms the framework for the various stories told by the passengers, all with the common theme of intransigence. Discussion with director follows screening.

Chili Palmer (Travolta) has had enough of being a movie producer - now he's moving into the music industry. With the help of a record label owner (Thurman), he's set on making a new musical discovery (Milian) a star.
For a sequel to criticise sequels is to play a very dangerous game indeed. Even those with the humour and originality to back up their knowing winks have to be careful to stay the right side of smug. Those as wandering and witless as Be Cool should know not to provide snarky film critics with extra ammo.
Ironically, it's the first scene, in which Chili Palmer (Travolta) and a cameoing James Woods riff on how sequels are cash-ins with no real value, that provides the only real moment of clever comedy. From thereon in, F. Gary Gray's follow-up to Barry Sonnenfeld's Get Shorty saunters where its forbear swaggered, mumbles where the other zinged. Gray fails to differentiate Be Cool's music biz from the movie industry we saw in Get Shorty, so the archetypes he sends up (clueless managers, jumped-up stars) are merely poor imitations of the characters in Chili's first outing. There's no individual as extravagantly entertaining as Shorty's Danny DeVito (although he does have a bit-part here), Gene Hackman or Dennis Farina, just a roll-call of famous faces so exhaustive that it's difficult to pick any of them out of the starry crowd.
The number of names onscreen is dazzling, but it's a case of 'never mind the quality, feel the cast', with Gray apparently too overwhelmed by the calibre of his actors to reign in their performances or cut their big moments to keep the plot trim. Travolta whispers his way through the film with no authority and fails to reignite any chemistry with Thurman, bland as a record label owner - which is astonishing given their history. The ill-advised retread of their lusty dance routine in Pulp Fiction is a sexless labour, making these two icons of cool look like in-laws drunkenly grinding to convince the kids they've still got it.
Meanwhile, Milian is fine as the aspiring singer of whom everyone wants a piece (though her pretty-but-thin voice rather begs the question: why?), Harvey Keitel disappears in the mix and it's kindest to ignore Vince Vaughn's embarrassing mugging as the faux-ghetto manager altogether. It's a solitary hooray, then, for The Rock, who hoards the few laughs there are with a game turn as a gay bodyguard, taking on everything with such a lack of ego that you forgive the stereotype.
A poorly written, directed and acted imitation of the first. Not funny, not clever and, crucially, not cool.

This Date In Mets History: Tom Seaver Returns To Shea StadiumAugust 21, 2010
According to Nationalpastime.com on August 21, 1977, "In his first appearance at Shea Stadium since being traded, Tom Seaver throws a 6-hitter against his former teammates and strikes out 11 helping the Reds defeat the Mets, 5-1."
In the video below Tom Seaver and Pete Rose visit the Mike Douglas Show. Watch as Tom Seaver talks about his trade from the Mets and his contract.
4 Responses to This Date In Mets History: Tom Seaver Returns To Shea Stadium
Every June 15, I take a moment to visit the cemetery and pee on M. Donald Grant's grave.
FU Grant!
Wow, Douglas asked Rose to explain free agency because "the ladies I'm not sure understand that." No way he'd get away with that kind of statement today.
And is that Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher sitting on the other side of Douglas?
Neat video. Seaver seemed genuinely unhappy with how things turned out with the Mets' front office.
Yeah that would have gotten a different reaction these days. Even the way Rose talks about free agency and renegotiating contracts. Players don't talk that freely today. That does look like Harrison Ford but not 100% sure.
