text: The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 05/31/2013 settlement date, which shows a 1,182,754 share increase in total short interest for Bankrate Inc ( RATE), to 6,198,570, an increase of 23.58% since 05/15/2013. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for RATE at the 05/31/2013 settlement decreased to 656,292, as compared to 729,025 at the 05/15/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" up to 9.44, a 37.28% increase from the 6.88 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.

Malayalam filmmakers and heroes have traditionally been really keen to have their films at the theatres during festive seasons.
The forthcoming Onam-Ramzan season will have some high profile releases.
Mammootty's Thappana, Mohanlal's Run Baby Run, Dileep's Mr.Marumakan, the laugh riot Husbands in Goa with a big star cast and Fahadh Faasil's Friday will be the major ones.
Prithviraj's Simhasanam will release on Aug 10, as of now. A few more films with lesser star value are also waiting in the pipeline.
The box office show of the big films can have an effect on the release of those movies.

The Thursday wrap
Revolt of the Light Brigade: Freedom Action has begun a petition drive to have Congress rescind what effectively is a ban on incandescent light bulbs. The group is an offshoot of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. It cites not only the congressional overreach but the mercury danger of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). Sans that, can a black market in incandescents be far behind?
Muffling the voucher whine: Despite all the gnashing of teeth of more than a few public school officials over vouchers for low-income students -- namely, how it will supposedly financially strap their districts -- the Commonwealth Foundation's Nathan Benefield reminds there "has never been a single study demonstrating that scholarships have a negative impact on school performance or their ability to raise funds." So, what will the educratic establishment's next excuse be?
A shocking conviction: An Austrian court has convicted a young Viennese mother commenting negatively about Islam in a lecture before a political gathering. The Hudson Institute's Nina Shea says Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff was fined 480 euros. She was convicted of "blasphemy" but was not charged with "hate speech" because of Austria's free-speech guarantees. Which, of course, turns the concept of "free speech" on its head.

(142.33 kB) Unwilling to sacrifice floor space to a standard stairwell in an already compact floor plan, architect Richard Morongell designed and built this custom hatch cover. Located in front of a kitchen counter — a natural conversation area — it easily supports six adults without deflection. Morongell kept the 185-pound cover relatively light and compact by building it around a Hexacomb core, a kraft-paper honeycomb panel typically sold as a protective packaging material (877/692-6163, hexacomb.com). The hatch practically floats open on a pair of inexpensive gas springs, each with a 100-pound lift capacity (330/342-6100, mcmaster.com). The springs also exert a dampening effect on the closing force, ensuring a quiet landing.Closed, the nearly invisible hatch is supported on steel angles bolted to the floor framing and concealed by finish trim.

Also, jaws key m, comma, and period read respectively previous, current, and next character. If that's a little difficult get get your head around, you can always use the numpad even while in the laptop layout because you actually don't lose that ability anyway. the nice thing about the laptop layout, which I use on both computers--one being a laptop, but the one I currently use most of the time is a desktop--is that you're much more efficient, since everything you could possibly need is pretty much right there.

When in classica layout, you were forced to pass keys through, which actually takes longer to do, actually, because by the time you have four or five keystrokes, you could have had only one or two done. Actually, I think you shouldn't have too much trouble switching, actually. and pressing the capslock key twice to activate it is actually more of an advantage than it is a disadvantage--think of all the problems you would have if you accidentally hit the capslock key and didn't know it. And besides, it's actually becoming more and more of a better option even on regular desktop keyboards simply because when typing, it's far easier to reach for the capslock key than it is to fumble around for the keypad. and making the switch, as I do, between two different machines--one a desktop and the other a laptop--makes it much easier if you just use the laptop layout anyway. And besides, you don't lose the numpad functionality even with the laptop layout, so actually, I'd say just go ahead and make the switch. It probably won't take you only an hour, if that, to get used to having to tap the capslock key twice to activate and deactivate it anyway. really isn't that difficult, since that's really the only change you have to deal with. It could be much, much worse!

I've had JAWS 9 installed on my computer since before Christmas, and admit i have only used it once or twice. I, too have to get used to it, and the thing that is turning me off is not the fact that I have to get used to a new configuration as in the way a dialogue such as the verbosity dialogue is set up, for me it's the fact thatFS got rid of the classic laptop layout. For me it just isn't practical to switch to JAWS 9 when I'm wanting speed and accuracy. Does anyone know why the change? there was no explanation. I know that they've had the regular laptop setting for some time now, but I just never swithed because classic was what I had become accustomed to. I've heard from others that the regular layout is better and that I will get used to it quickly but when you are a student and you're looking for speed it isn't always appropriate to start learning a whole new layout when you're trying to do your schoolwork as well. I don't know, just my thoughts. I would have loved to have a little more explanation as to why FS got rid of the classic laptop layout. If it were kept I know I would have been switched to JAWS 9 a long time ago. but that will be a summer project, I think. and the other thing Ihate about the regular laptop layout is that when you press the capslock key, because that is now your JAWS key you have to press it twice to activate writing in upper case letters, which doesn't make for a fluid transition for me personally. how I wish Ihad my desktop in these circumstances!

Man crushed to death by his own marijuana
(NEWSER) – Very important lesson for drug traffickers: do not store your half-ton of weed in the backseat of your car.
A Brazilian drug smuggler did just that, police said, and the man was killed when he crashed into a tree while being chased by police.
The 1,100 pounds of weed came barreling forward and crushed him against the steering wheel.

We all know that normal Protoss cannot be infested because of their connection to the Khala. However, what about the Dark Templar, who have cut themselves off from the Khala? Could they, theoretically, be infested? Baro Moramee" 06:48, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
It's certainly a legitimate queery. However, my personal inclination would be in the negative. The Void is to the Nerazim what the Khala is the Khalai effectively. And considering the adverse effects the Void had on the Overmind and its cerebrates, I would assume it provides a similar safeguard. There's no real hard evidence for this, but considering that "there's no infested protoss, period," I guess there's something preventing Nerazim from infestation.--Hawki 10:43, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
The zerg captured numerous Nerazim, including Zeratul, in Into the Darkness, but no protoss have been infested. So I doubt it's possible. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 13:19, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

COUNCILLORS in Selby have agreed to freeze the district's share of council tax bills for another year.
Mark Crane, leader of Selby District Council, said the authority had put itself on a "sound financial footing" to be able to support residents.
In December, The Press revealed the council would increase the council tax after it declined an offer for funding from the Government equal to one per cent, but it recently calculated it had made sufficient savings in the last three years to allow another council tax freeze.
Coun Crane said its prudent approach meant the council was also able to invest in issues such as supporting retail, jobs growth, developing housing and infrastructure, and improving leisure services.
The average council tax charge in the district will remain at £158.88 – about £3 per week to cover all council services, including bin collections, leisure services, housing support and planning.
The authority has also agreed to give a one-off grant of £26,000 to parish councils to increase the £134,000 donation from central Government, in an effort to help the parish councils make savings for the future, when their council tax rates change.
The authority also agreed to delay proposals to introduce a £26 charge for emptying green bins at the meeting on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Ryedale District Council has agreed to freeze the district's share of council tax bills. Its annual budget, confirmed this week, will also see none of the authority's cash reserves used to balance the books and no compulsory redundancies for the year ahead.
Council tax levels for a Band D property will remain at £176.72 and £9.25 million being put into "capital" schemes, such as building projects, between 2013 and 2017.

Detailed Description:
This protocol examines the effects of extending the duration of contingency management (CM) for drug abuse and dependence on long-term abstinence outcomes. Following the tenets of basic behavioral research, we have outlined a model for long-term behavior maintenance that suggests that successful long-term behavior change does not focus on undoing old behaviors, but concentrates on developing new behaviors in a wide variety of new contexts, and provides enduring reinforcement for the new behaviors. The implication of this model is that in order to develop strategies for supporting long-term behavior change we need to determine the optimal duration of continuing treatment-arranged contingencies, better specify incompatible behaviors that emerge for patients who are successful in sustaining periods of continuous drug abstinence, and determine which incompatible behaviors are most likely to have naturally-occurring sustaining contingencies of reinforcement. This research will examine the model by randomly assigning cocaine-dependent or cocaine-abusing methadone maintenance patients to either a Standard (12 week) or Extended (36 week) period of contrived contingencies. We will be conducting a 2 year follow-up in order to investigate whether providing a longer duration of CM will result in a greater proportion of abstinent individuals during this time, how long the abstinence will last and to discover if longer durations of drug abstinence during the first year after treatment entry will predict better longer-term abstinence outcomes. We also compare outcomes on abstinence-related behaviors to see if provision of an extended voucher program leads to an increase in non-drug using natural reinforcers and activities. This study participates in the NIH-sponsored Health Maintenance Consortium designed to promote interchange of concepts, methods and measures related to the maintenance of long-term behavior change.

Perry to Visit Middle East to Dedicate Texas A&M Engineering Facility
Governor to Visit Unique Campus in Qatar, Pursue Economic Development Opportunities for Texas in the United Arab Emirates
Gov. Rick Perry today announced that he will travel to the Middle East where he will participate in the dedication of a new 500,000 square foot engineering facility in Education City located on the outskirts of Doha, Qatar as part of a unique, collaborative project involving the government of Qatar and Texas A&M University. While in the region, Perry will also discuss investment opportunities with private companies and government officials. He leaves Tuesday, March 13, and returns Wednesday, March 21, 2007.
The new TAMU facility, located on a 2,500 acre-site, emanates from a 10-year agreement signed in 2003 between the Qatar Foundation and Texas A&M to provide a full, 4-year degree program in mechanical, electrical, chemical and petroleum engineering. Texas A&M is one of five American universities with degree programs located at Qatar's Education City - a first-of-its-kind concept in the Middle East.
"Critical to creating opportunities at home and abroad is pursuing educational partnerships that can leverage the expertise and academic strengths of Texas institutions," said Perry. "Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) is an innovative approach to building trade ties in the energy and engineering fields that are vital to the Texas economy. The long-term stability of the Middle East and Asia is dependent upon educational opportunities and the building of peaceful relationships. I am proud Texas A&M is doing its part to expand education and trade ties around the world."
TAMUQ currently has about 180 students enrolled in its engineering programs, and about 1,000 applicants are seeking one of 60 spots in the next freshman class. The Education City concept is the vision of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned, the wife of the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, who invited various institutions offering premier programs in their chosen fields to participate.
Governor and Mrs. Perry will arrive in Qatar on Sunday, March 18, and depart early Wednesday morning on a return flight to Texas. During their visit to Qatar they plan to visit Texas combat troops, will attend a Dean's Investiture and Aggie Ring Presentation Reception at the A&M campus, and will participate in the engineering building dedication ceremony.
Prior to landing in Qatar, Gov. Perry will visit both Dubai and Abu Dhabi - two emirates in the the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) - where he will have a series of meetings to pursue economic development opportunities for Texas. Dubai is one of the largest investment capitals of the world. With only six percent of its economy tied to the oil industry, Dubai is booming with investment and new construction. Nearly 25 percent of the world's construction cranes are currently located in the nation. In Dubai, Gov. Perry will visit with Trident International Holdings, a leading real estate development company looking to make its first investment in the United States. Gov. Perry also expects to meet with business interests looking to build renewable energy projects in Texas, and will visit with officials of the Aga Khan Development Network concerning the building of an Ismaili Muslim Center in Houston.
Gov. Perry's schedule will include, but is not limited to, scheduled meetings with the following prominent officials in the region during his visit: Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned, the wife of the emir of Qatar; U.S. Ambassador to Qatar Chase Untermeyer; the U.S. Consul General to the U.A.E. Paul Sutphin; and numerous other foreign dignitaries.
"Like previous governors, Governor Perry believes bringing economic development projects and new investment to Texas is a critical part of his job, and it is important for a governor, as the state's CEO, to personally meet with business and government leaders in order to create opportunity and prosperity," said Perry spokesman Robert Black. "Even during the critical 140 days of a legislative session, a governor has other duties and responsibilities that require attention. Governor Perry is proud to have the opportunity to commemorate a Texas university's historic education partnership abroad, pursue economic development opportunities, visit Texas soldiers and serve as a goodwill ambassador for Texas."
Texas One, the state's non-profit organization dedicated to business development, will pay for the governor and First Lady's travel to and from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 23:31:23 -0400
Hi Bill,
Bill, I thought perhaps you had found some new information lately, but in
looking back through old email, I find you have repeated here what you
said in January 1997. :)
But in 1997, you had no information on the parents of William Pyle (b. ca
1776). What is the source for the marriage of Zachariah Pyle and Hannah
Mitchell? From your recent email, it seems to me you are saying this
Zachariah Pyle and Hannah Mitchell are the parents of this William. Is
that true? If the Hannah Piles, age 64 in the 1850 census living with a
Comfort Poling is this Zachariah's wife, she would have been born in
1786...too young to be the mother of our William b. 1776.
Do you know what the source is for the reference to William Pyle (b. ca
1776) and Mary Jones having a son named Francis? I think we've covered
this before, but I was wondering if you had uncovered new info?
William Pyle and Mary Jones had a daughter named Maria, b. 11 Jan 1805 who
md. Gabriel Dresbach:
From The History of Piatt Co., IL, pg. 890, biography of John P.
son of Gabriel: "Gabriel, the father of our subject, was born in
Pennsylvania in
1805, went to Ohio when a small boy, and after living there until 1841,
came to this
State, making his first home in Edgar County. In 1849 he came to Piatt
and in 1863 took his place among the early settlers of Allen Co., Kansas.
breathed his last in 1871, strong in the faith of the United Brethren
Church, to which
his wife had also belonged. That good lady bore the name of Maria Piles,
was born
in Ohio in 1805, and died in Edgar County, IL, in 1848. The family
comprised 9
children, five of whom are now living."
They also had a daughter named Elizabeth, b. ca 1814, who married Daniel
Creechbaum on 10 May 1831 in Ross Co., OH.
This is a list of possible daughters of William & Mary from the Ross Co.
Marriage records:
Piles, Mariah 12-30-1830 to John P. Reynolds.
Piles, Mariah 4-18-1838 to John Davis.
Pyle, Elizabeth 5-10-1831 to Daniel Critchbaum
Pyle, Mariah 12-8-1826 to Gabriel Dresback
Pile, Mary 1-19-1834 to Stephen R. Doll
Pile, Nancy 11-8-1838 to Andrew Quigg
Actually, Bill, here is a GREAT summary of a timeline on Zachariah and
Francis in Hampshire Co., VA/WV that you did in 1997:
You know I don't think the Zachariah Piles in Monongalia County is the
as the one in Hampshire County. I think they were related. Also, we had
Francis Piles in Hampshire Co that I will provide some info:
At age 68, in the 1850 census, Francis lived near Kirby, Hampshire
County, VA, now West Virginia, with Samuel Ruckman. Samuel was probably
his son-in-law. Census said he was a laborer.
Ref: 1850VA-Hamp Co., Dist 24, #19-19. John Piles married Elizabeth
Ruckman, March 13, 1824. Elizabeth's parents were Samuel and Susannah
Ruckman. (Deed Bk 29/333-40 Hamp. Co.) shows a deed dated 22 Feb
1834...between John H Piles and Elizabeth, his wife, Solomon Tharp and
Hannah, his wife and Gibson Ruckman and Mary, his wife. The said
Elizabeth, Hannah and Gibson being children of heirs and legal
representatives of Samuel Ruckman, deceased of one part and Thomas Ruckman
of the other part.
Francis Pyles, who was born in Maryland in November, 1782, is probably
related to the Francis Piles, born in 1635, who came to America and
first in Chester Co, PA, and later worked their way south on the Great
Wagon Trail to, first, Maryland, and second, Virginia, now West Virginia.
From Historical Records of Old Frederick County... by Dr. Wilmer

According to 1850 census of Hamp. Co., Dist 24, Dwelling 10, Hannah Piles,
age 64, lived with Comfort Poling, a female, age 74. As noted by census
she could not read or write. Was she the widow of ...? Also in the
household was Sarah Piles, age 43 and Malinda, age 13. This apprears to
a widow, daughter in law and granddaughter.
This Zachariah Piles seems to have spent much time in Hampshire Co. The
other Zachariah was in Mongaglia Co from age 11. He seems to have stayed
Gosh...I've read through email for over 2 hours and see nothing more
definitive than I've seen in the past 6 years!
Has anyone ever gone to Hampshire County to do research in their records
to try to find more on Zachariah or William?
Oh...Bill, you stated, "A "Mary Jones" is buried next to William." That
is not true. The stones say (confirmed in cemetery enumeration done
before William's stone broke, markers side by side):
PYLE, William d Apr 23, 1859 ag 82y 10mos
PYLE,Mary, his wife, d Oct 3, 1859 ag 81 years
William's is actually broken off, and if he hadn't been buried beside
Mary I wouldn't have thought it was his. But the first three letters, WIL
are visible
and a death year of 1859 is visible.

Subject:[PYLE] William Pile-Mary Jones/Zachariah Piles
This was the first Pyle/Piles in Hampshire County, Virginia. For many
years we thought he was not related because he spelled his name Pyle and
our ancestors spelled in Piles in those days. However, William married
Mary Jones, in Virginia. and they had 13 children. The first son,
Zachariah Pyle, was born in Virginia in 1799. We believe he was born in
Hampshire County. The third son was Thomas. They also had a son, Francis.
Between the birth of Thomas in 1802 and Sarah in 1808, they had moved to
Ohio. In the 1820 census of Ross County, Ohio, we find William Pyle with 5
boys and 6 girls. Zachariah , the first son, was married in 1818 and did
not show at home. The second son, Robert, was probably working away from
home as he married in 1822.
Of the six girls, we know Sarah stayed home and took care of her parents
and after they died she lived with her brother, Harrison, and we find her
there in the 1860 census. It was her fathers wishes that she be taken care
of by Harrison. She is buried beside her parents in the Salem Reform
Cemetery in Ross County.
Many of William's children went down the Ohio River and were never heard
of again. Since the Ohio River was the main means of transportation in
those times, we feel this is the way the family moved into Indiana and
farther west.
The history books of Ross County was that William Pyle came from Virginia.
Dan Pyle said in a letter dated June, 1980, that William's wife was
Elizabeth Jones and later called her Mary Jones. A "Mary Jones" is buried
next to William. "The Early Ohio Tax Records," by Esther Powell, on page
346, in the 1810 Tax Record, is an Abraham Jones, in Green Township, Ross
County. Also, a Peter and Sam Jones in Green Township. Green Township is
the same township that William settled in. In the "History of Ross and
Highland Counties," printed in 1880, page 238, it says "Abraham Jones came
to Ross County from Hampshire County, VA. His wife was Pheraby Entrekin,
dau. of John Entrekin." Abraham had 5 children, and all were died when the
book was written in 1880. Beginning on Page 483 of the Pyle/Piles families
of America, there is a very good story on William and his family.
The first land patent granted to William Pyle, Sr., was not granted until
all the money was paid, so our feeling was the was a squatter on the land
he finally bought, for Sarah says she was born in Ohio in 1808 and William
first patent was not until 1819 in Green Township. This patent was not
recorded until 28 August, 1848.
According to Dan Pyle's letter William Pyle and wife, according to
tradition, came through the Cumberland Pass out of Virginia, into Ohio,
settling in Chillicothe, Ohio.
William Pyle's first land patent was 4-24-1819 in Green Twp, Ross Co., OH,
Our ancestor was Zachariah Piles, born about 1775 in Prince George Co., MD
and came to Hampshire County. He was married to Hannah Mitchell. They
were not a land owner, so left few records to go by. There was a Francis,
born 1781, Prince Geo. Co, MD who came to Hamp. Co. from Maryland. He
died in the Poor HOuse on March 16, 1872. So we have some familiar names
in both families.

Pink Floyd's Roger Waters criticizes Bush, loves Peruvian culture
Roger Waters, one of the founders of legendary English rock band Pink Floyd, criticized the policies of U.S. president George W. Bush and said he is an admirer of Peru's culture, especially of Machu Picchu.
Waters, who arrived in Lima on Saturday for his Monday night concert at the "El Monumental" football stadium, signed autographs for his fans and met with Peruvian foreign trade and tourism minister, Mercedes Aráoz who gave him a t-shirt with the image of Machu Picchu, a typical Peruvian "chullo" cap and two photo books: Peruvian landscapes and Peruvian cuisine.
"I love Machu Picchu", he told journalists and revealed that he actually tried to book a short trip to the ancient Incan citadel but unfortunately a discrepancy between tour schedule and flight times didn't allow it. "But I love to cook, too", he added and slipped the t-shirt over his head.
The musician also advanced that he does not agree with "the policies" of U.S. president Bush and said he supports Mexican protests against a wall on the border between both countries. "They are doing the right thing when they protest. I'm on Mexico's side", he said.
Waters' show tonight will include songs from his latest "Ca Ira" CD, excerpts from "The Wall", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and the complete "Dark Side of the Moon". During his interpretation of "Another brick in the wall", the band will be accompanied by a choir of twenty 10-16 year old kids from the Cambridge school in Lima. Cambridge, England, is the home town of Roger Waters and the other founding members of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett and David Gilmour.

I have a page, wich contains 2 user controls. Usercontrol1 contains a webpartmanager. UserControl2 contains a webzone, which contains 1 webpart. This webpart contains a listbox.
The page has also a button what will send a collection to the property of the Usercontrol2. This UserControl2 will send the collection immediatly to the webpart. The webpart fills the listbox on receiving with the received collection (property). That works fine.
Problem: when clicking on a item in the listbox, the listbox ends up empty, it looks like the viewstate doesn't work properly. Set "EnableViewState=True" in code doesn't fix the problem
I reproduced it with a listbox on a page with the viewstate disabled, so that is why i think the viewstate isn't enabled properly.
Note: The listbox is not filled in the page_load event.

Universities and Knowledge-based Development in sub-Saharan Africa: Comparing University--Firm Interaction in Nigeria, Uganda and South Africa
Research on the changing role of universities in firm learning, innovation and national economic development has not extended systematically to low income countries of sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on an empirical survey of firms and case studies of university practices, the article examines conditions of universities, firms and their potential for interaction across a national system of innovation in three countries, Nigeria, Uganda and South Africa, in order to contribute to such analysis. In so doing, it attempts to open up a research agenda in terms of the specific challenges African countries face.

Coach Keith Dambrot looked especially intense in practice today – with good reason.
The men's team travels to Omaha, Nebraska tomorrow to face Creighton at 2 p.m. Sunday. The first nationally ranked opponent they've taken on since Dec. 15, 2010 when they lost to the Minnesota Golden Gophers 66-58. It's a huge opportunity for the team to make an early season splash.
"I'm trying to get them going. It's a big ball game.," Dambrot said.
Creighton, ranked 16th by the Associated Press and 13th in the USA Today Coaches Poll, will represent the Zips stiffest challenge yet.
"We have to disrupt their fluidity on offense. They're very good on offense. We have to be able to get them out of their comfort zone," Dambrot said.
The defense will certainly have to improve on the 47 percent shooting they gave up to Middle Tennessee Sunday.
Offensively it's very basic.
"We have to make shots because we're not going to be able to beat them scoring 60. We have to get more than 60," Dambrot said.
There will also with some members of the Creighton team who remembers a loss to the Zips in the Sears Bracketbusters on Feb. 19, 2011.
Make no mistake about it, winning this game at this point in time would give the team and program a huge lift and some national cred. But Dambrot has the right attitude about it.
"Win or lose we have to win the MAC Tournament. That's the way I see it," he said Friday morning.
True. Very true.
But the Zips mantra for this season is "think bigger." After nearly pulling off wins against Coastal Carolina and Oklahoma State, two overtime losses without Nick Harney and Demetrius Treadwell. They're at full strength now; there's no time like the present to make that a reality by winning one of the big ones.

Octavia Spencer Stuns in Sparkly Frock at 2012 Oscars' Red Carpet (PHOTOS)
The actress, who won best supporting actress for her amazing performance in The Help, was looking beautiful in yet another Tadashi Shoji gown as she walked the red carpet at the 2012 Academy Awards on Sunday. Pulling her hair back, she looked simple yet elegant with some drop down Neil Lane earrings, Jimmy Choo shoes, and a Judith Leiber clutch.
Octavia's co-star (and fellow nominee!) Jessica Chastain also looked stunning as she walked the red carpet. While these two wagered on who would win, they should have put money down on how fabulous they each would look!

Olive Wood from Spain
Olive wood has a beauty that asks to be held and touched. Its contrasting grains and warm, rich tones distinguish it from all other woods. Because olive trees take so long to grow, finding pieces large enough for this quality of item is very difficult. Most of the olive wood you will find elsewhere is made of glued or laminated pieces. Our olive wood pieces are hewn from solid blocks, which is more expensive but much higher quality. They are the finest in Spain, hand-made by an artisan with 25 years of experience. No other company produces pieces of this quality.

Somebody call Mulder & Scully!
Half of Us Believe in One of These Six Medical Conspiracy Theories
According to a new study from the University of Chicago, about HALF of Americans believe at least one of six big medical conspiracy theories. And one in five people believe at least THREE of them. Here are the six theories . . .
1. 37% believe the FDA is preventing us from getting natural cures for cancer and other diseases, because of pressure from drug companies.
2. 20% believe health officials know cell phones cause cancer but aren't stopping it . . . because cell phone companies won't let them.
3. 20% of people believe vaccines cause autism, even though that link has been scientifically DISPROVEN.
4. 12% of people believe the CIA intentionally infected black people with HIV, while pretending to give them hepatitis inoculations.
5. 12% of people believe the distribution of genetically modified foods by Monsanto is part of a secret program called Agenda 21 to shrink the world's population.
6. And 12% of people believe the fluoride added to water is a secret way for chemical companies to dump dangerous waste.
The authors say we tend to believe in conspiracies because, quote, "they seem like very compelling explanations for complicated situations."

I likewise find it upon several ancient coins of Leucas, and in the large mosaic in the royal palace garden in Athens.
This rock is a promontory on the island of Leucas, upon which was a temple to Apollo.
Nay, flies were adored with the sacrifice of an ox near the temple of Apollo in Leucas.
The cliff of Leucas knew no distinction of sex, and Sappho can be set against Anaxarete.
The fact was, they were sorely afraid of being caught by the Athenians in the island, and so they made safely off to Leucas.
It has already been remarked that an ox was sacrificed to flies near the temple of Apollo in Leucas.
Continet hic Isthmus Leucas admod quingentas circuitu suo, emque occupant Soriqui populi.
There is enough of heart-devouring passion in Sappho's own verse without the legends of Phaon and the cliff of Leucas.
Sailing from Leucas, they made land at the part of the continent opposite Corcyra.
These decrees were passed at Leucas, the capital of Acarnania, the place where all the states usually met in council.

Modelling Stock Returns Volatility In Nigeria Using GARCH Models
There is quite an extensive literature documenting the behaviour of stock returns volatility in both developed and emerging stock markets, but such studies are scanty for the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Modelling volatility is an important element in pricing equity, risk management and portfolio management. For these reasons, this paper investigates the behaviour of stock return volatility of the Nigerian Stock Exchange returns using GARCH (1,1) and the GJR-GARCH(1,1) models assuming the Generalized Error Distribution (GED). Monthly All Share Indices of the NSE from January 1999, to December 2008, provided the empirical sample for investigating volatility persistence and asymmetric properties of the series. The results of GARCH (1,1) model indicate evidence of volatility clustering in the NSE return series. Also, the results of the GJR-GARCH (1,1) model show the existence of leverage effects in the series. Finally, the Generalized Error Distribution (GED) shape test reveals leptokurtic returns distribution. Overall results from this study provide evidence to show volatility persistence, fat-tail distribution, and leverage effects for the Nigeria stock returns data.

"…the video takes what people like and hate about Ye's persona and pushes it to the limit, the video also 'walks the fine line between self aggrandizement and self mockery.' "
That was a quote that accompanied a small description of the film that you see above you. Immediately upon watching I found myself confused and intrigued. I found myself asking "what is this?", "what is he trying to do or say with this film?", and "when am I going to get to see the Girl® Skate team?"(haha). However, after watching I got a better understanding and called upon the skills I've amassed as a student of art history to further decipher the meaning of everything going on within the film.
I won't go into a scene by scene description, but I will identify a number of key things:
1. Slated for a release around the time that his 808's and Heartbreak album debuted, this is a reflection of him at that time. Like the album this film is an instance where we see raw emotion from someone, who according to the unwritten rules of rap, is not allowed to show vulnerability. Although alcohol has come into play and has amplified these emotions it allows for an unabashed side of Kanye that everyone around him seems to find discomfort in.
2. The expulsion of Rose petals or flower petals of some sort. Considering the historical context of this film, and the action that takes place to illustrate this "discharge of sentiment", it can easily be read as not a forceful but an imminent or necessary action considering the coldness that Kanye experienced in the club…(in life?)
3. The little guy at the end and Freud's "Id, Ego and Super Ego" As we reach the end of the film, we witness what we witness(watch THAT SHIT). The "Id" is described by Freud as "…the dark, inaccessible part of our personality…we call it a chaos, a cauldron full of seething excitations… It is filled with energy reaching it from the instincts, but it has no organisation, produces no collective will, but only a striving to bring about the satisfaction of the instinctual needs subject to the observance of the pleasure principle." Now when you take that into consideration Kanye's actions over the course of the film make more sense; jubilation at hearing his new song in the club, his interaction with party goers, the leopard print dress… by removing the small creature he is intent on separating this part of himself from himself. Thus we have the Ego(something we all know we associate with Kanye); "…The ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world … The ego represents what may be called reason and common sense, in contrast to the id, which contains the passions … in its relation to the id it is like a man on horseback, who has to hold in check the superior strength of the horse." As the two interact an ultimate decision is made and one must go while the other remains. Now a bit of back tracking must occur; when he realizes what he has done we come face to face with what can be considered the "Super Ego" described by Freud as "a type of conscience that punishes misbehavior with feelings of guilt". This "Super Ego" is often said to contradict the actions of the "Id". The Super Ego strives to act in a socially appropriate manner conversely the "Id" is focused or set out on gaining nothing more than self gratification.
Here we have a film that serves as self reflection and biography of an artist and a troubled soul.
Now doesn't that make it all clear as day, and you thought Kanye was just being weird…

Artist Dereck Seltzer has filed legal paper against Green Day as he states that the rockers used one of his creations during their concerts.
Rockers Green Day are facing legal action from an artist alleging the band used one of his creations in a music video without his permission. The "American Idiot" hitmakers used an image of a fang-toothed face during their concerts, as well as a music video and across their website in 2009.
Artist Dereck Seltzer has filed a lawsuit against Green Day at Los Angeles federal court, alleging he created the image years ago and copyrighted the picture. He claims he was never asked permission for the image to be used on the band's material.
But the group's lawyer, Don Passman, insists they received the picture from a reputable company and did not realize there would be any legal issues. He tells TMZ, "Green Day received Mr. Seltzer's image from a responsible company and was unaware that there could be any copyright or other issues."

An elderly parishioner speaks to his Reverend in a church in Suffolk...
Archie Those people? Oh, no, no, no. Certainly not.
Henry I've seen them in the village.
Archie They don't live in the village.
Henry They have a home here.
Archie They have a house here, that's certain. It's the Old Manse, you know.
Henry And I've seen them drive through the village on a few occasions.
Archie They do drive through it. They've got a very large car.
Henry I think it would be lovely to see them at a service on Sunday.
Archie Well, they're from London.
Henry Fine, but they still might be interested in the local church.
Archie They're from London, though. They only come here for the weekends, and sometimes not even that.
Henry But, you see, our services do happen to be on Sunday.
Archie I've not once seen them down at the pub, not even when it started with all that new food.
Henry Would you have a word?
Archie I did once. A few words, it was.
Henry Would you mind giving them a welcome?
Archie They sort of keep themselves to themselves, you see. I'm sure they'd rather see your face.
Henry Fine. I do, however, have my other five parishes to see to.
Archie We're all busy here, you know.
Henry I understand you're very busy.
Archie I was just strimming round the headstones in the churchyard. I know the villagers out there, don't I? They'd come to a service if they could.
Henry Fine, then. How many people were in the congregation today?
Archie There was me. You, of course.
Henry And just Mrs Wilton.
Archie She comes mostly just to see another living soul, poor old girl.
Henry Right. Then I feel it's our duty to make the newcomers welcome.
Archie Wait till the Christmas service then. I seem to recall them attending that one.

There's significant demand for the Bob Lutz-backed Fisker Karma V8 conversions, especially now that Fisker, the company, doesn't look particularly suited to provide parts and/or technical support for their existing hybrid powertrains.

wow, so many responses...

I didn't see what everyone had to say but I definitely want to reply to the "we cant have nice things at noisebridge" thing. I think this is completely wrong. The last meter probably isnt stolen but is just behind some furniture somewhere...digging around yesterday I found another $6 multimeter behind a cabinet. There are so many nice things at noisebridge that are so easy to steal and are never touched. Just last week someone left a very nice ibook sitting on a desk for over a week. There are expensive laptops galore lying around and much more expensive equipment than a fluke meter that goes untouched. I dont think theft at this point is an issue.

This is my feeling too: I'd rather work on solving the problem of documenting what we have and working out a way of finding it again than assume it's all being wished away by extremely technically knowledgeable and irredeemably picky thieves ("Leave the macbook, Igor! I've found their hot air soldering station!"). And without information about where stuff is now or what we have, we don't even have a way of checking that theory, let alone act on it. Such absences in factual knowledge lead to long threads. Long threads lead to drama. Drama leads to suffering.

I *think* the general problem isn't about designing impregnable locked environments that can fight off determined hackers who will run cackling into the distance, it's about working out how to devise systems that put stuff back into a knowable state when they're finished. You *can* do that by restricting access, but I think that's just a special case solution to the general Noisebridge problem of not knowing how the hell to find or access something, or even that we have it available, and probably not one that best solves the actual meta-problem, which is "how do we provide X to everyone who wants it at Noisebridge"?

I'm okay with asset tags, since that would let us finally list what we have (outside of someone's brain), provide an opportunity for an idiot like me put things back where they're supposed to be without necessarily knowing what they are, and *perhaps* have at least some chance of finding something that you want to find. RFIDs are cool on things, just not on people.

PS I sort of want a t-shirt now that says "Actually, you can solve a social problem with technology" and either a picture of a loveably cute robot, or a big scary gun.

I strongly believe we should have a fluke meter. the others pale in comparison and it is really the most important tool for any kind of hardware hacking. I would be OK if we ever padlocked it to a chain to the hacking table. I think there are many options to ensure safety from theft rather than just simply saying we cant have nice things. There's lots of nice things and more coming in all the time that dont get stolen and should actually take priority over a sub $200 multimeter.

We dont need more $6 meters as we have a bunch of them. We just need one decent one. I appreciate the offers to borrow one but honestly, I don't want to worry about having someone elses property. Thats the nice thing about NB stuff, you use it and leave it there-- no worries. And I'm sure I'm not the only person that could really use a fluke.

I have a fluke at home already, though it doesnt read capacitance. But I dont want to have to run home every time I want to repair something at NB. a fluke meter is standard for any electronics repair place and this is something everyone would benefit from.

anyway thats my 2cents. Ill be around tonight if anyone wants to talk about it. Im not much for email and listserv stuff as I have carpal tunnel and typing is not easy for me. but thank you for so many responses so quickly.

best,
Zach

 my guess is it depends on whether the fuse blows
before something inside fries.
