Stephanie Morton scored the upset win of the Australian track cycling championships, beating Anna Meares on Saturday in the keirin final.
On the last night of competition, Shane Perkins recovered from a back injury to take out the senior men's keirin final.
Meares had won the 500m time trial and sprint at these nationals and was going for her 32nd Australian track title.
The sprint gold medallist at the London Olympics and multiple world champion launched a long-range attack on Saturday night, but Morton caught her on the line.
Soon after the keirin final, Meares tweeted a photo of a cap she signed for Morton five years ago.
It was captioned: "Steph, maybe one day you'll beat me".
This is the first time Morton has beaten Meares at the nationals.
"That's pretty cool - she's my idol, just the pinnacle of what an elite cyclist should be," Morton said.
The keirin win emphasises that Morton, 23, is a rider with massive potential.
But Morton is under no illusions about where she stands in relation to Meares.
"Anna is the best that there is - I might get one over her; she'll get the next 10," Morton said.
"So I just keep chipping away. Rome wasn't built in a day.
"Just to ride against her is awesome."
Track legend Sir Chris Hoy was at the Adelaide SuperDrome and said Morton's ride showed she was not intimidated by Meares.
But Meares was far from disappointed - apart from richly praising Morton, she also felt she gained a lot from the ride ahead of this month's world championships.
"I gave her some advice after the first round," Meares said.
"I'm wondering if it came back to bite me ... a quality ride from a quality rider.
"Even though I lost the keirin, how I rode it, how I committed to the race, my decision making was all really good.
"I can't aim to win, win, win, win - because then I don't live up to expectation and I also lose the fun of it."
Victorian Caitlin Ward won the bronze medal.
A few minutes after Morton's stunning win, Perkins took out a pulsating men's keirin final.
On Friday, he had to pull out of the sprint competition ahead of his semi-final because of a lower back injury.
"I just put my head down and went for it," he said.
"I put the back in the back of my mind and forgot about it ... I'm pretty happy."
Fellow Victorian Jacob Schmid was second and SA's Dan Ellis took third.
Annette Edmondson won the women's 10km scratch race, a day after she took out the points title.
Victorian Beth Duryea was second and WA's Isabella King won bronze.
Victoria won the under-19 men's team sprint, despite Jay Castles crashing.
NSW rider Max Housden also crashed in the gold-medal ride.
Victorian Courtney Field won the women's under-19 sprint.
In the last event of the nationals, Glenn O'Shea gained six laps on the way to taking the 40km points race.
He finished on a whopping 151 points and fellow South Australian Jack Bobridge took five laps on the field to win the silver medal with 123.
WA's Trent Derecourt won bronze with 82.
The hot conditions and scorching pace meant only 10 of the 20 starters finished.
Matthew Glaetzer was awarded the ride of the nationals for his domination of the men's sprint, where he clocked a championships-record time of 9.901 seconds in qualifying and went on to win the gold medal.
Field was named the under-19 champion of champions with three gold medals and Edmondson won the senior award.

If there is something positive to be said about
The culture wars are alive and seething in north Asia in a way that provides some perspective to the point scoring that has had a sudden revival in Australia. But these are culture wars potentially just a miscalculation away from the real thing, which would cast a big cloud over the expectations of economic gains from a trifecta of trade agreements with China, Japan and South Korea by the end of the year.
A few extra faux aristocrats in Australia to repay people for taking on the well-remunerated burden of being Governor-General will only contribute to the view of some Asian commentators that Australia is a part time player in the region.
But given that Thailand has its Knight Grand Cordon of the White Elephant and Japan the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun – both awarded to former Australian leaders – we shouldn't be too worried about these perceptions.
What matters more is how prepared the Prime Minister is to really engage with the diplomatic gamesmanship going on among Australia's three big trading partners which has been on display this week at a global level and bound to be in play when he is doing the bilateral rounds in early April.
Abbott's speech contained some skilful new formulations to deal with this challenge.
The shift to focusing on the post-war Australia-Japan economic relationship as one of the most intensely productive anywhere in the world is a better way of celebrating the relationship, without the best friends and allies language of the past.
The recognition that the Chinese economic relationship extends beyond trade – to immigrants and students – redresses the past government efforts to play down China by overplaying the accumulated sunk investment from the US.
History and geography
It is not clear whether Abbott was re-endorsing
Australian governments must work hard to avoid having to choose between history and geography, but the Howard formula only served to foster a sense of complacency about the economic, diplomatic and cultural adjustments that will have to be made to live with the rise of Asia.
The revamped Asia Society, under Warwick Smith's new leadership, worked hard to provide Abbott with a well balanced audience to spruik the Team Australia open for business message. Those influential participants can only wonder why the Prime Minister would choose to demonstrate his higher priorities later in the day.
Back in the real world, Tuesday's North Korean missile test just as Japanese Prime Minister
Park has been more focused on diplomatic initiatives with the North than even meeting with a fellow conservative western alliance partner like Abe. Meanwhile Abe has been wobbling over his economic reform program while pursuing historical revisionism, or at least allowing colleagues to do so.
This has clearly alarmed the US as it tries to deal with Chinese border expansionism, prompting Obama's three-way meeting this week in The Hague, which has given the US pivot to Asia some long-overdue heft.
Abe has now invested some real skin in the western alliance with his backing of sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, which will come at the cost of a politically advantageous settlement with Russia over islands disputed since World War II.
Park now needs to show some domestic leadership to establish the diplomatic trust that will be required to deal with any collapse in North Korea.
Australia has more at stake economically in this region of festering old historic grievances than the US and would have a much greater sense of insecurity if the culture war was too turn hot.
So Abbott should be much more focused on scoring a Grand Cordon for diligent regional diplomacy than laying the groundwork for the local version from some future inward looking Prime Minister.

A Full Blown Able Danger Investigation May Be Coming
For ages now MacRanger at Macsmind has believed that there was no way Able Danger would ever be investigated because the Pentagon/government would make certain that the story died. Now it sounds like Mac has changed his mind:
In the beginning of the Able Danger story I was skeptical - I am no longer and the more I look into this the more unskeptical I become. In the past I have predicted that this story would "die" and so far - outside of some starts and stops - it appeared it had, according to what I was told today, it's about to get some real life.

Synopsis :
The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related
Description :
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-17
(rsync: Potential information leakage)
The paths sent by the rsync client are not checked thoroughly enough.
It does not affect the normal send/receive filenames that specify what
files should be transferred. It does affect certain option paths that
cause auxiliary files to be read or written.
Impact :
When rsyncd is used without chroot ('use chroot = false' in the
rsyncd.conf file), this vulnerability could allow the listing of
arbitrary files outside module's path and allow file overwriting
outside module's path on rsync server configurations that allows
uploading. Both possibilities are exposed only when chroot option is
Workaround :
You should never set the rsync daemon to run with 'use chroot = false'.
See also :
Solution :
All users should update to the latest version of the rsync package.

By Tori Richards | Watchdog.org
The federal right-to-work database E-Verify has become a casualty of the government shutdown, leaving some to wonder whether the Obama administration is taking advantage of Washington politics to kill a program unpopular with Democrats on Capitol Hill.
"How convenient is that, to shut this down?" asked Evelyn Miller, a board member with the California Coalition for Immigration Reform. "Homeland Security has been a joke since the beginning. (Director) Janet Napolitano does not want to uphold the law, she wants illegal aliens here."
E-Verify is a free database that allows employers to check Social Security numbers to verify a person has a legal right to work in the U.S. Since its creation in 1997, liberal critics have blasted the program as a tool to keep undocumented workers from getting jobs. Still, by 2012, federal employees and certain federal contractors were required to use the program, and 20 states had enacted some form of E-Verify requirement.
In 2011, Republicans in the House and Senate introduced bills that would have required all employers to use E-Verify. It failed to pass along party lines.
But when the budget standoff exploded into a shutdown last week, E-Verify was shuttered and some-300 people who work in the Verification Division were sent home on
furlough, DHS spokesman Christopher Bentley told Watchdog.
"It's the whole program (that is furloughed), to look at it as just the website itself is disingenuous," Bentley said. "It's not just as simple as flipping a switch on and off."
He wouldn't comment on whether the Obama administration was glad to see E-Verify go.
"I won't address that one way or another," Bentley said. "I won't get into a partisan discussion."
But don't tell that to Miller or the Washington, D.C.-based think tank Center for Immigration Studies.
"It does need to be constantly updated," said the center's Director of Research Steven Camarota. "But in a one-week period can they leave it up? Of course. There is no reason it had to be shut down. The immigration system is still working; it's not like people are not arriving."
Camarota stopped short of saying it was intentionally targeted for a shutdown by Obama, but said, "It seems like another example of making things as unnecessarily difficult as possible to blame the Republicans for the shutdown. The administration seems intent on creating as many inconveniences as possible."
The AFL-CIO did not respond to a request for comment on the impact the E-Verify shutdown has on various work projects ongoing in the 20 states. The ACLU did not respond to whether their membership was happy the site was not functioning.
Labornotes, a monthly magazine for labor activists, has been opposed to E-Verify from its inception.
"There are errors in the system," said Labornotes' editor, Jane Slaughter. "People who do have a legitimate right to work are often caught up in the system and getting threatening letters from their employer, saying, 'You have to get your affairs in order.'
"We are for people being able to come to this country and get jobs," Slaughter said. "E-Verify tries to keep people from doing that thing. There are a lot of pressure for employers to use it."
The conservative think tank Heritage Foundation disputed concerns by organized labor.
"The system is quite accurate — as of two years ago was 99 percent accurate," said David Inserra, Heritage's research assistant for national security and cyber security. "If an immigrant came here legally and followed the rules, E-Verify won't interfere with their ability to work."
E-Verify requires federal new hires to submit enter their information in the database at least three days before the hire date. This mandate has been waived during the shutdown, according to the E-Verify website. What isn't clear is the impact it has on various states with their own sets of laws.
"The shutdown doesn't mean that the database can't be there (operating)," Camarota said. "So it doesn't get updated or tech support — that's different than saying the thing can't function. This seems like it's creating a huge backlog when they didn't have to."
As for E-Verify itself, the site offered its condolences:
"We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to serving you once we resume operations."

MakerBot's new offices are a grown-up kid's dream. The chairs and tables look like giant, stackable construction toys. There's a sprawling "bot farm," where racks of 3-D printers constantly churn out goodies. There's also the stunning 21st floor, 360 degree view of the city.
That's not to mention the full-scale replica of Dr. Who's Tardis, which uses clever architecture to somehow seem, indeed, bigger on the inside.
Last week, MakerBot, the pioneer of desktop 3-D printers, moved from Gowanus into its massive, 26,000 square-feet offices in the Metrotech building in Downtown.
Bre Pettis, co-founder and chief executive officer of MakerBot, said he never considered leaving the borough.
"Brooklyn is the best place in the world. There are other places?" quipped Pettis before disappearing into the Tardis in the lobby, which connects to the rest of the space though a second door. "There's more talent here, more people with a can-do attitude."
The folks at the Brooklyn Tech Triangle Initiative, a coalition of groups from Downtown, DUMBO and the Navy Yard that are formulating a plan to bring more technology companies to those neighborhoods, are thrilled that MakerBot is here.
"We're incredibly excited by the opening of MakerBot here," said Tom Conoscenti, executive director for planning and administration at Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, one of the members of the initiative. "The media companies started moving here a couple of years ago. Now, the tech companies are the next wave of tenants."
So far, MakerBot is the first and only major technology company to commit to Downtown. But Conoscenti is hoping that the printer company will lead to a critical mass.
"MakerBot is going to give confidence to a lot of companies that Downtown Brooklyn is where the action is at," he said.
Last fall, MakerBot released its Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer and opened a retail store in NoHo.
But MakerBots are still printed in Brooklyn too, at the "bot cave" in Boerum Hill, and Pettis said it will stay that way.
The Tech Triangle folks aren't the only ones happy that MakerBot stayed in Brooklyn. The company's employees, most of whom live in the borough, are also psyched.
"My commute is really great," said Annelise Jeske, who rides her bike to work almost every day. "I love Brooklyn. When I first moved here, I thought I would have to work in Manhattan. I'm happy that I don't."Reach reporter Danielle Furfaro at dfurfaro@c

There are many reasons why you can be experiencing this tooth pain. Some of the reasons include cavities, tooth decay, dental abscess, infections and even gum disease. Emergency dentists can help stop the pain and fix what is wrong so you can have a healthy mouth as soon as possible.

Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di Zoom AF
Review Date:

| Price paid:
Not Indicated
| Rating:
Reasonably priced, lightweight, comes with lens hood, fast focusing for a non-USM lens. Constant f/2.8 aperture throughout whole zoom range.
Zoom ring is backwards (opposite way from Canon lenses)
Constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, is sharp wide-open, and for about $300-400? Yes, please.
Perhaps Tamron may be guilty just like Canon and Sigma are of letting some bad copies slide through, but I got a good copy; a very very good copy. It is sharp wide open at both wide and long ends.
It is a bit heavier than the other permanent lens in my bag, the 17-40 L, and lighter than the one it is replacing, the 28-135 IS; when you zoom to 75mm, it's rather long, but it's not too long; about the size of the Tamron 75-300 LD collapsed.
The bokeh is not as good as Canon's found in its best lenses in the same range, but it is also not bad at all --rather neutral. The blur itself is very pleasing.
I would not replace high-end glass with this lens if you already own, for example, the Canon 24-70 L and are already used to its results, but I would highly recommend it --no doubt-- if you're on a budget, or even as a back-up to your expensive glass.
It's not the greatest lens ever built, but it is very impressive considering the price and weight (all that conventional glass that's been substituted!). I'm very happy with my copy.

Image Stabilization, versatile.
Very sloooooow autofocus in less than bright light conditions.
If I had money for the 75-200 f/2.8 L I'd buy it, but since I don't I bought this. The image quality of this lens is somewhere in between the 28-80 II and the 28-135 IS. Apparently my copy is a good one because all the pictures have decent contrast and good sharpness on print. With a 10D 100% crops are acceptable, but not up to par with the quality of, say, the 28-135 IS, which is also acceptable if you're used to L glass, and beautiful if you're used to such bad lenses as the 35-80, the 28-90, or Vivitar/Phoenix brands.
I sold my Tamron 70-300 LD Macro for this one because of the IS. I'm not used to focal lengths longer than 200mm, and without the IS I'd need a 400 or 800 ISO in moderately lighted conditions.
The focus is painfully slow, and will not work with low light, but overall this is a good performer, but don't expect too much from it. I like it, but again, if I had the money, I'd get a real lens and get the 70-200 L f/2.8

Sharpness, contrast, weight, full-time manual focus, metal mount
Price, distance scale not too helpful
It beats any other lens I've ever used, and would even dare to rate it better than any Carl Zeiss T* 80mm (Hasselblad manual mount) I've ever used.
The only cons of this lens are blown away by the performance of this lens. Wide open it performs really well if properly manually focused in conjunction with an extension tube. Once stopped down to at least 2.8 the images are sharp, and exhibits exquisite "boukeh".
Fast, quiet autofocus, light and elegant.

Caritas works on helping communities adapt to the effects of climate change, from building cyclone shelters in Bangladesh to early warning systems in West Africa's drought-prone Sahel region.
There has been success in limiting the deaths from natural disasters in recent decades. While Cyclone Sidr killed around 3,000 people in Bangladesh in 2007, similar or weaker storms killed 100 times that number in 1972 and 45 times more people in 1991, largely because governments and local communities have taken action to reduce risk. Now that is all under threat from climate change.
Almost 250 million people a year are affected by 'natural' disasters, the vast majority of them climate-related such as hurricanes, droughts and floods. But the numbers are expected to double by 2015 according to some reports.
Climate change will also increase the threat of new conflicts, which will mean more people displaced, and the need for more humanitarian aid.
Caritas believes it is not enough to just adapt to the effects of climate change – that will just get more and more expensive. Caritas must add its moral weight to the call for measures to stop climate change.

This new club (see Night Life) is devoted to creatively presenting music of all kinds to a stylish young audience; Ronen Givony's genre-defying "Wordless Music" series, whose concert venues used to be sprinkled throughout the city, will take up residence here. July 16 at 7 and July 17 at 8: The Metropolis Ensemble, conducted by Andrew Cyr, offers the world première of "The Rite: Remixed," a three-composer arrangement of Stravinsky's Fauvist ballet that combines percussion, brass, and live electronics. | July 22 at 7: The pianist Kathleen Supové joins another avant-garde magus, the renowned electronic composer Morton Subotnick, for a collaborative concert. (158 Bleecker St. 212-796-0741.)**{: .small}
Things may be shaking up at City Opera and the Met, but this longtime freelance company, led by Vincent La Selva (a master of Italianate style), keeps to old traditions—including its policy of free summer performances. This year brings "La Traviata," gamely staged in Central Park's elegant, if dilapidated, Naumburg Band Shell. (Enter at 72nd St. July 16 at 7:30. For more information, call 212-245-8837.)
Steven Beck—the former Peter Serkin student, and continual new-music maven, who leads the barge's little stable of pianists—has the run of the place this week, offering the first half of what will be a complete survey of the Beethoven piano sonatas. The first concert features the Sonatas No. 1 in F Minor, No. 15 in D Major ("Pastorale"), and Nos. 27-28 in E Minor and A Major, respectively. (Fulton Ferry Landing, Brooklyn. 718-624-2083. July 16 at 8. For full schedule, see www.bargemusic.org.)
Jerome Rose's long-running summer celebration of the piano returns, with a lively mixture of master classes and concerts by pianists both well known and unfamiliar. An artist unquestionably worthy of one of the festival's "master series" concerts is Menahem Pressler, the pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio, which will retire in September; he is joined by another distinguished artist, the violinist Eugene Drucker, in a program that features sonatas for violin and piano by Mozart and Schubert (the "Duo" in A Major), as well as Schubert's Piano Sonata in B-Flat Major, D. 960. (Mannes College of Music, 150 W. 85th St. July 16 at 8:30. 212-580-0210, ext. 4858. For full schedule, see www.ikif.org.)
July 16 at 8: Three exceptional young artists play chamber music. The violinist Julia Fischer and the cellist Daniel Müller-Schott perform two classics of the duo repertory—the Handel-Halvorsen "Passacaglia" and Ravel's Sonata for Violin and Cello—before joining the pianist Jonathan Biss in Beethoven's "Archduke" Trio. | July 17 at 8: The redoubtable Emerson String Quartet offers the complete quartets of Johannes Brahms. | July 18 at 8:30: The Boston Symphony Orchestra's first concert of the week, led by Leonard Slatkin, features two substantial works: the Symphony No. 5 by John Harbison (with the mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey and the baritone Thomas Meglioranza) and Mahler's Symphony No. 1. | July 19 at 8:30: Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto (with Midori as the soloist) is the highlight of an exciting concert with the B.S.O. that also features performances of Vaughan Williams's "Five Variants of 'Dives and Lazarus,' " and Copland's Third Symphony, conducted by Slatkin. | July 20 at 2:30: Shi-Yeon Sung makes her Tanglewood début conducting the B.S.O. in music by Schumann (including the Piano Concerto, with Garrick Ohlsson) and Mendelssohn (the Symphony No. 4, "Italian"). (Lenox, Mass. 888-266-1200.)
In a bold—but not surprising—move, Tanglewood devotes its entire Festival of Contemporary Music to the celebration of the great American composer's hundredth-birthday year, featuring the exceptionally talented fellows of the Tanglewood Music Center as well as several distinguished soloists. Here are some highlights: July 20 at 10 A.M.: The festivities begin with the renowned Carter advocate Oliver Knussen conducting his younger colleagues in such works as the "Asko Concerto," "Luimen," and the Double Concerto for Piano and Harpsichord (with Charles Rosen and Ursula Oppens). | July 21 at 5: Rosen and Oppens take to the keyboard in Ozawa Hall to perform three solo pieces by Carter: the recent work "Matribute" as well as two classics, the Piano Sonata and "Night Fantasies."

July 17 at 7:30: The Daedalus Quartet, a fresh and vital young participant in what is a golden age of American string quartets, opens the week at Westchester's elegant festival by offering performances of quartets by Haydn (in D Major, Op. 20, No. 4), Shostakovich (No. 3 in F Major), and Sibelius. | July 18 at 8: For the sometime musicologist Will Crutchfield, Caramoor's decisive director of opera, authoritative texts are always favored; he conducts a performance of "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" that features not only such singers as the tenor Barry Banks and the baritone Daniel Mobbs but also a new edition—by the eminent Philip Gossett—that uses Rossini's lighter, original orchestration. | July 19 at 8: The glamorous and gifted violinist Sarah Chang is the soloist in Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, part of a concert by the Orchestra of St. Luke's that also features music by Mozart (the Overture to "The Magic Flute"), Mussorgsky, and Tchaikovsky (the clangorous tone poem "Francesca da Rimini"); Peter Oundjian conducts. | July 20 at 4:30: All three quartets by Johannes Brahms, played in commanding style by the Emerson String Quartet. (Katonah, N.Y. 914-232-1252. For full schedule, see www.caramoor.org.)
The summer outpost of the Yale School of Music offers concerts in its elegant and intimate wood-panelled Music Shed. July 18 at 8: A roster of Norfolk regulars—including the flutist Patti Monson and the pianist Claude Frank—join members of the fine Keller Quartet (an intriguing addition to the festival roster) in music by Debussy (the Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp), Duruflé, Ravel, and Brahms (the Piano Quartet in G Minor). | July 19 at 8: The Keller, renowned for its advocacy of Kurtág, joins some colleagues to reach back to music by Webern and Tchaikovsky (the String Quartet No. 1 and "Souvenir de Florence," for string sextet). (Norfolk, Conn. 860-542-3000.)
This summer series' tranquil music chapel (with world-class acoustics) hosts a stream of vibrant performances each summer. July 19 at 6: The soprano Nancy Allen Lundy, the pianist Babette Hierholzer, and the clarinettist Ethan Sloane offer a concert that features two grand works by Schubert (the Piano Sonata in B-Flat Major, D. 960, and "Shepherd on the Rock") along with a selection of lieder from Hugo Wolf's exquisite "Italian Songbook." | July 20 at 4: The young and winning Pacifica Quartet performs string quartets by Mendelssohn, Prokofiev (No. 2, "On Kabardinian Themes," a memoir of his relocation to the Caucasus during the Second World War), and Beethoven (in F Minor, "Serioso"). (Woodstock, N.Y. For more information, call 845-679-8217.)
Shakespeare is all the rage at Glimmerglass this summer, with four Bard-based works performed on a single set inspired by the playwright's own Globe Theatre. July 19 at 8 and July 22 at 2: Glimmerglass makes history by offering the first fully staged American performances of the young Richard Wagner's second opera, "Das Liebesverbot" ("The Ban on Love"), which relocates Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" to Palermo; a comic opera in praise of free love, it spurns ponderous Germanic influences in favor of those of Auber and Bellini. Nicholas Muni's production sets the work in nineteen-fifties Italy; Corrado Rovaris, the music director of the Opera Company of Philadelphia, conducts a cast that features Mark Schnaible, Claudia Waite, Richard Cox, and Holli Harrison. | July 20 at 2: David Stern conducts a production of Handel's "Giulio Cesare" that features Laura Vlasak Nolen singing the "pants role" of the title, with Lyubov Petrova, another singer from the Metropolitan Opera roster, as Cleopatra. (Cooperstown, N.Y. 607-547-2255.)
The festival and school founded by Rudolf Serkin remain a bastion of chamber music at its best, with some of the world's leading musicians (including the pianists Richard Goode and Mitsuko Uchida) and their phenomenally talented protégés offering the public the results of their demanding, in-depth rehearsals. Concert programs are listed a week in advance on the festival's Web site, www.marlboromusic.org. (Marlboro, Vt. 802-254-2394. July 19 at 8:30 and July 20 at 2:30.)
The Formosa Quartet and the pianist Pamela Mia Paul come to northern Connecticut's string-quartet shrine to offer a hefty program of music by Wolf (the "Italian Serenade"), Beethoven, (the Quartet in B-Flat Major, Op. 130), and Brahms (the Piano Quartet in A Major) along with a new work by Shih-Hui Chen. (Falls Village, Conn. 860-824-7126. July 20 at 3.)

Pudsey joins teddy's 100th birthday
Paddington and Pudsey are among furry faces at an exhibition in Liverpool to celebrate 100 years of the teddy bear.
Teddy Bear Story - which opens at Liverpool Museum this weekend - traces the evolution of the popular childhood toy over a century.
The exhibition, which will transfer to London next March, is sponsored by toy manufacturers Steiff, the company that designed the first jointed toy bear in 1902.
A US shopkeeper later made a soft toy bear and named it Teddy's bear, as a tribute to president Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, who had refused to shoot a bear cub that year.
Vintage Sooty
The term teddy bear was soon adopted across America and Europe.
The display - created in conjunction with the Museum of Childhood, a branch of the V&A at Bethnal Green - features hundreds of bears and bear-inspired memorabilia.
Highlights include EH Shepard's drawings of Winnie the Pooh, a vintage Sooty hand puppet and Aloysius from Brideshead Revisited.
Loraine Knowles, keeper of Liverpool Museum, said: "We are delighted to have the first showing of the exhibition in Liverpool.
"It's going to have wide appeal because most people have had a favourite teddy bear at some point in their life."

Proof of work is the idea of getting a client to do some computational work that is expensive to perform, but cheap to verify.
For example - if you send a client a random number, and then ask the client to keep increasing that number until the md5 hash of the number starts with four zeroes, it will take on average 2^16 attempts to find the matching number. Then the client sends the number back to the server and the server verifies that the hash starts with 0000…
The idea is to make the computation expensive enough that it makes it less worthwhile for spammers to attack your system. It's a nice alternative to a captcha because it doesn't require any user intervention.
Example proof-of-work solver
var x = parseInt(Math.random() * 0xFFFFFFFF),
doWork = function(){
var count = 100, y, h;
while(--count > 0){
x += 1;
y = x.toString();
h = hex_md5(y);
console.log("Solved... " + x);
setTimeout(doWork, 25)
This code generates a random number, then increases it until a suitable hash is found. The work unit is broken up into 100 tests at a time, with a timeout between subsequent work so that the browser doesnt warn about script timeouts. This runs fine on a modern browser, but I imagine it would nail ie6. For production code you'd probably want to profile the doWork function and adapt the work unit size to keep the browser responsive.
Native solvers
One of the obvious downsides is that any javascript implementation of a hashing function is going to be much slower than a native implementation, so if a spammer wrote a native solver for your proof-of-work, they would be able to trivially solve your work requests.
For example - firefox takes about 8 seconds to solve my proof of work prototype, firefox takes about 6 seconds, and ruby can solve it in 0.23 seconds.
Alternative work algorithms
Many hashes is a well known and provably computationally difficult proof-of-work technique, but given the problem that a browser will never be able to solve them as fast as a modern GPU, it would be worth investigating other work that a browser could solve that could not be solved faster by any other method, for example calculating the size of an HTML layout.

MENA region's textile manufacturers foresee strong market growth even as US textile mill output declines
Textile manufacturers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have expressed strong optimism regarding the continued growth of the regional textile industry, which has even bettered the US textile market. Recent data released by the U.S. Federal Reserve shows that U.S. textile mill output fell by 12.1 per cent in 2007, the largest drop in output since 1972. On the other hand, the textile industry in the MENA region is expected to grow by eight per cent annually to AED 2.4 trillion by 2010, with Egypt – one of the most important markets in the region - achieving an annual average growth rate of 6.5 per cent.
The robust growth of the textile industry in the region, especially in Egypt, will be a focal point during ITCE CAIRO 2008 (ITCE'11), the most important trade fair of its kind for textile, embroidery, sewing machinery and accessories serving the MENA markets, that will be held from February 28 – March 2, at the Cairo International Fair Ground in Egypt.
Egypt is the largest textile manufacturer in the MENA region, with exports of woven and knitted apparel to the U.S. alone exceeding USD 2 billion in 2007. Egypt's textile industry has been a major revenue source for the country, which has in recent years also enhanced its position as a trading centre for textile machinery after removing all customs tariffs on textile machinery and accessories.
"Egypt certainly has the potential to become a major player in the global textiles market, especially since it is known for the quality of cotton it produces, and due to its favourable geographic location. Moreover, Egypt has a long history in textiles and has a solid infrastructure in place to foster steady growth of the industry," said Ahmed Ghozzi, Chairman and CEO, ACG-ITF, organisers of the event.
"The tremendous growth potential of the regional textile industry will be a major point of discussion at the 11th edition of ITCE, which will see record participation of over 700 exhibitors from 24 countries. The event will serve as an ideal platform for textile industry players to discuss wide ranging topics such as the impact of modernisation, new market opportunities and the impact of regulatory reforms on the industry," he added.
ITCE'11, held under the auspices of Eng. Rashid M. Rashid, Egyptian Minister of Trade & Industry and the Federation of Egyptian Industries, will cover 12 halls representing a 25 per cent increase in exhibition space. More than 32,000 trade visitors from 18 countries are also expected at the event, which will present significant market insights, new innovations and best practices. ITCE'11 will also showcase the latest textile machinery technologies to all apparel, garment, clothing, manufacturers, weaving mills, and embroidery factory owners all over the region.
ITCE'11 will host leading textile machinery manufacturers from Italy, France, Spain, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, England, India, China, UAE, Syria, Romania, Greece, Brazil, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Switzerland and Russia, in addition to Egypt, the host.
ACG-ITF, the leading trade events organizer in the MENA region, was established in 1986 to oversee Printpack 88, the first printing and packaging trade show in Egypt. The specialised industrial exhibition company handles 47 per cent of the international trade fairs market.

Men, before you lay down the dough on our favorite online auction site, Charitybuzz.com, please note you must be willing you cut your hair and shave off your facial hair. All in the name of doing good while looking dapper. The auction benefits ACLU of Southern California.
If dropping $23K seems a bit steep, take the Modern Family route of giving. MF took over the Emmy's with five wins including Outstanding Comedy Series. Since we aren't all lucky enough to be a part of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's family, we'll just settle with joining him on FriendFactor. This fancy schmancy website uses an innovative technology platform to galvanize change in the fight for equality. Check out Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Best Wedding Gift Ever YouTube clip which was filmed a few months back for the big vote in New York on marriage equality. Sign up at friendfactor.org if you'd like to get involved.
Great TV and Great Causes. Now that's what we call Outstanding.

Erasmus is first met in Spielburg in the original game. He lives high atop a mountain in a home guarded by a gargoyle, who poses the Hero several questions before he can enter. Erasmus helps the Hero on his quest to save Spielburg from bandits, evil wizardy, and even may help the Hero learn new spells, if he has the proper training.In Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire, Erasmus sponsors the Hero if he is a mage to enter into the Wizard's Institute of Technocery, letting him become a fully wizard.In Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, Erasmus and Fenrus can be heard trying to summon the Hero to Silmaria throughout , but due to the interference of Katrina's dark magics remain unable to do so until the end of the game, when he is finally transported to the setting of the fifth game.In Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire, Erasmus and Fenrus are part of another magical institution in Silmaria, and sponsors the Hero for the Rites of Rulership that the game revolves around.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) June 09, 2014
"Take-out foods tend to grow cold during transport," said an inventor from Philadelphia, Pa. "By the time I begin eating my meal, the food no longer tastes all that hot and fresh. That is why I came up with an improved container."
She developed the Heat Sealer to keep take-out and carry-out food hot longer. The design prevents food from growing cold during transport. This makes the meal more enjoyable when it is time to dine. The unit increases customer satisfaction. It offers added peace of mind. Additionally, the accessory can be used to package a variety of foods and there is a non-stick packaging option available.
The original design was submitted to the Philadelphia office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 13-PND-4407, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Something is killing medical technology innovation—or at least slowing it unnecessarily. That basic argument has been repeated ad nauseum in recent years. As for exactly who or what is to blame, that is more of a contentious matter. But there is widespread agreement that the state of med-tech innovation is dire. Frequently, the U.S. regulatory climate is blamed in this context. For instance, a recent survey of medtech CEOs in Minnesota found that many respondents blamed an "unpredictable" and "unresponsive" FDA for stifling their ability to innovate. MD+DI recently ran a piece that asked whether politicians should share some of the blame for "killing medtech innovation."
Upcoming Conference Tackles Medtech Outsourcing Challenges
MD+DI is organizing a conference designed to provide industry professionals with the tactical tools and strategies to achieve the transition from procurement to partnership in the development of medical devices. Scheduled for August 22–23, 2012 in Boston, the MedTech Supplier Partnerships conference will provide a forum for industry experts to share practical guidance on how to get the most value out of buyer/supplier relationships, protect quality standards and innovation, and speed regulatory compliance. More details are available from the link above or by calling +1 310/996-9435.
Although the terms "innovation" and "invention" are freqently used in similar contexts, the two words have distinct meanings, as regulatory consultant George Samaras points out:
A product can't truly be innovative unless it can be commercialized successfully. And, today, that requires not only getting a medical device to market that is safe and effective; the end product needs to provide better patient outcomes at a lower cost than competing products.
Complicating matters further is that innovation is sometimes confused with iteration, which is an integral part of product development, says Bob Lathrop, owner of Lathrop Engineering (San Jose). Innovation requires "a clear vision of what it is that you are trying to achieve," Lathrop says. This requires a solid understanding of the problem you are targetting as well as the path to market and other factors such as price point and intellectual property. Developing a product that is best able to meet these various needs requires an open mind and the willingness to take on some degree of risk, Lathrop says. "You don't necessarily have to take on a high amount of risk, but you have to be willing to open up new possibilities."
That willingness to be open, to really investigte the problem your problem is targetting, usually comes at a cost. That is, coming up with novel ideas can take time, as the phrase goes, equals money. But the investment is worth it: if your firm wants to maintain market position, it has to be innovative. So in the end, there has to be authorization to be innovative and a willingness to invest in that, Lathrop says. And in the present economic climate, finding that funding can be tough. Most investors are looking to de-risk their assets, so projects that do find funding are rarely game changing devices. "Everybody seems to be trying to minimize risk to maximize their return on investment," Lathrop says. "And I think it is [affecting innovation in life sciences] more than anything else." But developing truly innovative products usually requires a long-term view, he adds.
In meeting these objectives, it is hard to overestimate the importance of solid teamwork, which begins with an assessment of your team's strengths and weakness. As for what they are, they tend to differ dramatically for startups as opposed to their larger brethren. But, in any case, if the weaknesses are difficult to address internally, outsourcing of some sort becomes a necessity.
In making that leap, it is important to find a consultant or outsourcer who will truly work with your firm as a partner. You don't want to work with somebody that only wants a vendor/customer relationship, says Bill Betten, medical technology director at UBM TechInsights (Ottawa, ON). Your company and the outsourcer should form a solid partnership, which can be developed and refined over time. "It sounds trite," Betten acknowledges. But that doesn't mean it happens as often as it should.
Another factor to consider is the importance of continuing to keep critical aspects of production in house. "You don't want to outsource your crown jewels," Betten says.
|In this video with Thomas Grasty, co-founder of Stroome explains that innovation and invention are often conflated and poorly understood.

Yeah, had Scott searched this list's archives first, Manuel has

|xfsdump slight problem with LVM snapshots.
|David Brown <xfs@xxxxxxxxxx>
|Wed, 30 Nov 2005 15:49:48 -0800
Using xfsdump to backup snapshot volumes (I'm using LVM2, but it doesn't really matter), can occasionally miss changes in subsequent dumps. Consider the following sequence. % make snapshot of /foo % wait a bit % touch /foo/special file % xfsdump -l 0 /foosnap ... % undo snapshot % make snapshot of /foo % xfsdump -l 1 /foosnap ... % undo snapshot The file 'special' will not be included in the level 1 dump. The problem is that xfsdump is using as its backup time the time that xfsdump was run, where it really needs to be using the time that the snapshot was made. The easiest solution is to add an option to xfsdump that allows it to base the dump date on the mtime of a specified file rather than the current time. e.g.: % touch /tmp/snapstamp % make snapshot of /foo % xfsdump -l n -t /tmp/snapstamp /foo ... This will instruct xfsdump to consider "now" to be the time that snapstamp was touched, rather than the current time, avoiding the missed changes. This should be fairly easy to add, since the gh_timestamp field is only set in one place. Thanks, David Brown

Russell Simmons Launches All Def Digital
Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:56:09
Original content alert!
All Def Digital, a new destination for cutting-edge urban music, comedy and spoken word programming helmed by industry icon Russell Simmons launched YouTube.com/AllDefDigital.
There was a bit of a hiccup with some "in poor taste" content last week, but an apology was issued and we won't drudge it up.
New series include Odd World: MellowHigh, a music documentary series following hip-hop trio MellowHigh (Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, Left Brain), as they record their new EP and gallivant across Europe on tour.
Then there is Dr. Reasons stars YouTube comedy sensation Spoken Reason as Dr. Reasons counseling quirky troubled couples through relationship hurdles.
B-Rock is an animated series that blows the roof off of the White House and exposes the twisted behind-the-scenes shenanigans of the 44thPresident of the United States of America, Barack Obama, as he and his Commando in Chief alter ego, B-Rock encounter an endless array of familiar characters.
"I've worked my entire professional life to promote up-and-coming talent and the new art forms they create and YouTube is the perfect platform for this new generation," said Simmons. "Just as our talent will benefit from being able to engage directly with their fans, YouTube will benefit from having a network that reflects the incredible diversity of the new America."
Will you be watching these new original series and such?
—Katie Sheehan

Lord Mayor's message
Message from the Lord Mayor
Our new Waterloo Youth, Family and Community Centre designed by Collins and Turner architects has won the prestigious Sir John Sulman Medal. It also won the NSW Architecture Award for Sustainable Architecture.
Included in this year's Australian Institute of Architecture Awards were five inner-city laneways – Angel Place, Ash Place, Little Hay Street, Factory Street and Kimber Lane – winning for ASPECT Studios the 2013 Australia Award for Urban Design.
Our redevelopment of Pitt Street Mall by Tony Caro Architecture with Spackman Mossop Michaels, won a NSW Architecture Award for Urban Design.
Previous prize-winning City projects include Redfern Park and Oval, Surry Hills Library and Community Centre, Paddington Reservoir Gardens, Pirrama Park, Sydney Park playground and facilities, and the restoration of Sydney Town Hall, which included renewal of services, fire safety and new public spaces.
Between them, these projects have won more than 40 international and Australian architecture, urban design and sustainability awards.
We believe only the best will do for our beautiful city.
Recognising the City's design advocacy, the Australian Institute of Architects NSW initiated the City of Sydney Lord Mayor's Prize to recognise design excellence in the public domain.
I awarded the prize to Darling Quarter designed by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp with ASPECT Studios and Lend Lease.
The NSW Government has recently delayed the introduction of new planning legislation to the NSW Parliament after councils and community groups across NSW raised serious concerns about fast-tracked building approvals and tick-the-box assessments.
We share those concerns and will be waiting to see the revised legislation to ensure we can continue to protect your amenities and promote design excellence in our city.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore.

Reasons I'm Thankful [PHOTOS]
With the holidays right around the corner, Its time to reflect on what I'm thankful for and how the good lord has blessed my life. I have to start of course with my wife, she's put up with me for over 9 years and still thinks I'm sexy (OK I made the last part up but its good for my self esteem).
She supports me in all I do and gave me the greatest gift of all Macy Lynn. I'm thankful I have daughters who still like to hang out with me and hopefully won't get tired of dad when their old enough to realize I'm not very cool (my boys never ever thought I was cool). I still have Macy fooled but my oldest daughter; Makenzie is another story. She's turning 18 next month and who knows how long the late night calls / texts will last.
I'm thankful to be blessed with a career that I love and would do for free (just don't tell my boss that or he may get some ideas). I always knew I would be in the entertainment business and my passion for music started at a very young age. Radio has been very good to me and the relationship I share with my audience is priceless. I'm very happy my family and I decided to make the move to St. Cloud and join the team at Townsquare Media.
I'm extremely thankful for my family and friends. I couldn't imagine life without any of them and couldn't have made it this far without their support. It takes a "village" to raise this guy and lord knows I've leaned on all of them many times over the years. It would take forever to list them all but believe me they know who they are. I do need to send a special shout out to my best friend Jim Cech (Jimmy). We've been best friends since 1997 and shared so many good times over the years. Were convinced we were separated at birth but thats impossible because he's older than me lol. He's the godfather to my daughter and I'm the godfather to his two beautiful twin daughters. There's nothing like forever friends. (Should a grown man say things like that?)
I could go on and on but I was tasked with putting together a post of "Reasons I'm Thankful." I guess at the end of the day I'm just grateful that the lord blessed me beyond belief. Like everyone does from time to time, I've been known to complain and want more. After putting this together, I realized I don't need anymore than I already got. I have a wife who loves me unconditionally. All the good, the bad and everything in between. When rappers say they got a "Ride or Die Chick" that's my Tracy Lynn. My children are all healthy and still not listening to a word I say (when they start listening is when I need to worry). I've surrounded myself with good friends from the many places I've called home over the years and thankfully were still very close.
Why am I thankful?….because I'm me and that's a damn good person to be.
PS: I'm also thankful for boy bands.

Alignment of LSD1 homologues from H. sapiens (GI:3043726), C. familiaris (GI:73950246), M.musculus (GI:37360004), R. norwegicus (GI:62649867), D. rerio (GI:68387817), G. gallus (GI:50759643), P.troglodytes (GI:55586433), S. purpuratus (GI:72031239), and D. melanogaster (GI:20151661). The secondary structure is indicated above the sequence as blue cylinders (alpha helices), green arrows (beta sheets), gray lines (coil regions), and gray dots (disordered residues). The numbering below the alignment is relative to human LSD1. Overall sequence conservation at each position is shaded in a color gradient from yellow (70% similarity) to dark red (100% identical). The participation of various residues in the formation of the SWIRM-oxidase interface (magenta dots) active site cavity (green dots) and tower domain interface (purple dots) is indicated below the aligned sequences.

Figures from the paper:
The reversible methylation of specific lysine residues in histone tails is crucial in epigenetic gene regulation. LSD1, the first known lysine-specific demethylase, selectively removes monomethyl and dimethyl, but not trimethyl modifications of Lys4 or Lys9 of histone-3. Here, we present the crystal structure of LSD1 at 2.9-A resolution. LSD1 forms a highly asymmetric, closely packed domain structure from which a long helical 'tower' domain protrudes. The active site cavity is spacious enough to accommodate several residues of the histone tail substrate, but does not appear capable of recognizing the different methylation states of the substrate lysine. This supports the hypothesis that trimethylated lysine is chemically rather than sterically discriminated. We present a biochemical analysis of LSD1 mutants that identifies crucial residues in the active site cavity and shows the importance of the SWIRM and tower domains for catalysis.
Figure S3. The SWIRM domain of LSD1. (a) Ribbon representation shown from different angles, with helices shown in yellow and coil regions in purple. (b) Surface representation shown from the same angles as in panel a. The surface is colored from gray (< 70% identity) to red (100% identity), according to the sequence conservation in Supplementary Figure 1. The interacting structural elements of the oxidase domain are shown transparently in blue (helices) and red (SWIRM-oxidase connector). (c) Superposition of the SWIRM domains from LSD1 (yellow) and Ada2α (pink) in ribbon representation. A 180° rotated view is shown on the bottom. (d) Surface representations of the SWIRM domains of LSD1 and Ada2α in the same orientation as in panel c. The electrostatic potential is plotted from red to blue onto the surface between -10kBT and +10kBT. The surfaces that are involved in oxidase domain binding (LSD1) and have been implicated in double-stranded DNA binding (Ada2α) are indicated.
Figure S4. Trimethylated H3-K4 peptide acts as a competitive inhibitor of LSD1 activity. Initial reaction velocities of LSD1 were determined in a photometric activity assay at various concentrations of monomethylated H3-K4 peptide in the absence and presence of trimethylated H3-K4 peptide. Each data point represents at least three independent measurements. The error bars show the standard deviation. The data were fitted by linear regression analysis.
