On the Shore
I write this to make sure someone knows what I've done. By the time you read it, I'll be long since gone. They'll say I escaped and disappeared, but I assure you, that's not the truth. They've come for me! They're going to take me beyond the veil! Oh the terrible things that lie beyond that veil! I don't want to go. I managed to steal this paper and pen from the office on the way to the cafeteria. They've taken all my journals away and hid them in the library. I don't have much room to tell you what happened so I'll start at the beginning and write until I run out of space. I can only hope nobody steals it before someone finds it.
I was at home one day, working with my chemicals and laboratory equipment in the attic. I believed I was on the verge of discovering a new realm of vision beyond ultraviolet. For the first time, we would be able to see beyond what these two orbs provide us. I heard a knock at the door and went to answer it. The professors from the university wanted to see my work. Just think. That glorified institution was interested in me. It wasn't ready, though. They pressed and pressed, but I sent them away. Nobody must see my invention before it was complete. Oh what a fool I was. To think that such a simple thing as to see them look at it could have saved me. They stayed on the door step as I shut the door. I heard them laughing and ridiculing me.
The solution to my equations danced forever beyond my grasp. I could never quite get what I wanted. I had been working with potassium, selenium, and carbon compounds. When burned with Manganese, Strontium, and other metals, they did, indeed, radiate previously unnamed shades of light, but the camera equipment I had on hand was not able to capture it. I needed ingredients and equipment that were far too exotic for any average person to acquire to go further with my research. The physics needed chemicals and compounds only found in the tropics and far reaches of the planet, and environments that I could not duplicate here in my home. I had a hypothesis that I could duplicate the experiment with great success in a persistently cold environment, using rare metal compounds and acids. I immediately took a trip to the science halls of the university, and applied for more funding.
The panel had some of the men who had visited my house. They told me my experiments were useless, and proved nothing. My funding would be cut next month, and the state of Massachusetts would not continue funding it either. No amount of begging or pleading moved them. How I wished now I'd let them dissuade me. I left there, and went out on the streets, begging. Eventually, I met a most peculiar man from the far East. He said he was a sailor, and knew where I might get what I needed. The sailor had a smile that was terribly beautiful, and a laugh that was awesome in its joviality. He was in town buying supplies for a trip over the ocean. I agreed to pay anything, anything at all, that he required. He had me get all my equipment together and bring it to his boat, then we set sail. We sailed east into the Atlantic, setting forth from a small fishing town in a small cove. I like to pretend I never saw the denizens of that horrid place. It was a boat manned by a crew of quiet people, who spoke only in grunts and whispers, and facial expressions. Their size was terrifying, larger than any people I have encountered in my life, being enormously tall and muscled. Their silence was disturbing.
On the Ocean
The boat was a swift sailing model, of medium size. Its hull was a dark ebony, a shade of wood that I had never seen before. It had three decks. The main deck, the crew's quarters, where my supplies were also stored, and ship supplies. I was not allowed to enter the supply deck. A particularly burly crewman barred entrance to all save their own. None of them spoke to me. Days and nights passed without a word from them to me. My captain was never seen above decks, and only then wrapped in layers of cloth and clothes. No matter what he wore, I could always see that damnable smile. I asked if he was afflicted with some disease but he would not answer. I chose to leave him be and contemplate the waves. My experiments continued with the meager supplies I had brought, revealing no great insights into the invisible. I only managed to fill my cabin with strange smokes and sounds, and even those were more mundane than I could have hoped for. For days there was only water, and the same strange, sweet meat stew every day. Sometimes, I saw the crew pointing at me and whispering. I can only imagine what things they said now that I know the truth. At night, the stars above were clear, crystal points of light.
I know not when we landed, only that the rocking of the ocean had stopped. We were at a town that spoke a dialect of Spanish. Judging from the architecture, we had likely landed in Spain. We stopped by for a few hours. I worried when the crew barred me from leaving the boat after our initial interactions with the locals. They did not tell me why, only locked me under the decks. I heard heavy trampling, and what sounded like heavy trunks or boxes being moved around above deck. Sometimes I heard yelling. Eventually, I felt the rocking of the boat resume. They unlocked my quarters with evil smiles and whispers. I assumed that perhaps the boat's owner had a reason for not letting me go ashore. He showed me new ingredients in a back cabinet. Powders of exotic animals and metals, and glass instruments like I'd never seen before. They were conglomerations of squares, circles, straight lines, and curves, shapes that had no purpose in a sane world. They hurt the eyes just to look at. He locked them up and told me to wait, then sent me off to the rest of the ship again. We sailed again, this time south, through Gibraltar, and into the Mediterraneans. We visited Italy, where I did not receive the odd treatment of before. This time, I observed huge trunks bought from a merchant who resembled my own odd benefactor. Some went below decks, others clinked like they were full of glass. We made stops in Egypt and Greece, then moved back out into the oceans. I didn't know how many months we had been at sea yet, but I knew that I hadn't secured my home's payments for this length of time, and that I might not have one when I returned. I didn't care, though. I could have been on the verge of a breakthrough.
We sailed south. We followed the coast of Africa, never landing once. That strange, sweet stew never seemed to run out. The whole way, the captain kept that smile. That horrible smile. We sailed, always following the coast line, but never close enough to see if anyone was watching back. Eventually, we reached the Cape of Good Hope. As expected, we sailed around it. We would be stopping on the way north for food. It was the same as other stops. We picked up the trunks of unknown supplies, presumably the source of that stew, and more compounds. I'd soon be able to draw back the limiting veil of our vision and let us see beyond. We stopped in some town somewhere on the coast, and this time, I was locked beneath the decks again. I made very vocal objections to this treatment, but the crew was not responsive. I sat, angry, until my captain had returned and we were underway again. He assured me that it was for my own safety, and that I was not in any danger so long as I just listened to his crew. The locals in this town were not fond of outsiders. His crew never spoke, and he never explained why it was for my own safety, but I believed him.
We made one final stop in another foreign country after weeks of sailing past jungle, beach, and cliff, then jungle again. I don't know where this one was, I can only guess it was the man's port of origin. He spoke with the locals in a strange language, then let me go free. I explored the city, fascinated by the architecture and the sculptures and statues of what I could only assume were their deities. I've always been a man of science, not culture, and now my deficits are beginning to haunt me. The things I've missed out on with my nose buried in the books. The shops are filled with beautiful beads, wonderful art, and ancient volumes. I couldn't even begin to fathom what secrets are contained within them. If only I could read the language they were written in. I wish I could say for sure where this town was, but it could have been in the Eastern countries. Thinking back on our journey, it must have been in or near India.
We spent a few days here. I didn't learn much, though. They didn't speak English, and I didn't speak their language. The crew vanished altogether, and the captain didn't seem to want to translate. I spent most of my time reading a few of the books he'd picked up along the way, buried in the same case as the chemicals. Some of the chemicals were in glass containers. The glistening, metallic powders seemed to glow with purple colors that appeared almost ultraviolet. The powder itself was a plain silver. Another container seemed to be vibrating at very low frequencies. No matter how I lifted the opaque container, turned it and shook it, it made no sound and surrendered no hint of its contents. There was a spectacular vial filled with a brilliant white powder. I speculated that it was some phosphorus compound. Every container had a tight lid, or was stoppered by a thick, rubber top. The captain would sometimes come down and watch me examine, that same loathsome smile on his face the entire time.
Finally, we set sail again, this time to the south. We struck out straight across the ocean, passing out of the sight of land within a day. Once again, as before, I was all but ignored by the crew and captain. This time, they allowed me to explore the lower decks of the ship. The lowest deck was only half accessible, and the half I could see was filled with barrels of water and ship repair materials. The crew ushered me out just before they would enter the other half, from which the stew came. I wondered what type of livestock or meat they kept back there. As we sailed, birds became scarce. The sky was an endless dome of blue, no clouds polluting our view. I felt no wind, yet the sails were full day and night.
Soon, the air began to chill and the days grew shorter. After a few days of the cooling air, I saw a wall of white in the distance. It was ahead of us, and seemed to be miles in width. The light of the day was failing fast. I thought it must have been Antarctica, that great unknown plain of ice, for that would correspond with the weather and the cold. The next day, the wall was more visible. It was an enormous ice wall, spanning most of the horizon. I'd never seen the likes of anything like this, not even in my scientific books and journals. The crew came up with fur jackets and coats, and passed them about. I put it on, much relieved to have some respite from the now frigid air. I was told that we were not going to the frozen continent itself, but to this frozen cove. I was so excited.
The boat steered straight for the wall. At first, I panicked. I thought our captain was a madman, and had led us all to our doom. As we got within a mile of the prodigious wall, I saw that we were steering to a chasm in it. The waters looked treacherous, but the captain assured me with his smile, the smile of the damned, that we would be fine. His crew was the best in this world, he said. We sailed between two fantastically large chunks of ice, making a course straight through. We went from total daylight to a strange form of twilight, for the sun could only shine into the chasm from certain angles above. At places, the boat's sides came within touching distance of the chilled surfaces. I heard strange calls from above, and fancied I saw penguins a few times, swimming underneath us. Finally, after an hour of sailing in the precipice, we came to a dock of the same curious wood as our vessel. I was perplexed. How somebody had built a persistent structure like a dock in a cove of ice was beyond me. There was another, smaller vessel here, too. We tied the ship down, and he had the crew take my supplies, his supplies, and the instruments further down to a wooden lodge. Whoever had built it, it looked ancient. It was built of the same material and craftsmanship as the boat we had set sail in. The crew left us there after setting the cases and cabinets down inside.
Forgetting my earlier apprehensions, I began to set up. Inside, it was a single spacious room. There were two windows, on the left and right walls as one entered. They were large, and positioned so that, when opened, a breeze could cool the room. There was a series of metal tables in the middle of the room, set out in preparation of our arrival. I marveled at how far in advance he must have prepared this. The unusual warmth of the wood lodge did not bother me, and the captain assured me that opening the windows would achieve the temperatures desired. If I had calculated right at home, I would be able to successfully pull back the veil and reveal entire worlds of sights that the human race had not seen. With my captain's ever smiling assistance, I began to set up my work. He set up his instruments where they were appropriate, and showed me where to use his chemicals. The series of tubes, flasks, and instruments resembled some great insect, crouched over a table. Once we had finished, all that was needed was to heat the glowing metallic powders in the initial flask. My excitement was almost palpable. I lit the Bunsen burner under the flask, and opened the lodge's two windows. Outside, the day's light was dying fast. But the reaction before me provided all of the vision I needed to write my observations.
It started with an eldritch glow, the likes of which I'd never seen. The metal began to glow, melt, then boil, that peculiar ultraviolet light making the captain and I appear as if we were glowing beings in a sea of black. The metal began to boil quickly, and the light from outside was extinguished altogether. I don't know if it was the reaction, or the sun passing beyond the walls of the chasm, but I did not pay it any further wonder. Now, the glowing gasses from the metal, seeming to possess the same properties, traveled through the tube and into a flask filled with hydrochloric acid. Here, it underwent a fascinating transition, and the entire network of tubes began to hum. I was a little frightened, but my companion only grinned at this point.
Now, the mixture began to bubble along a series of tubes into a trio of chemicals. The first was the white powder. It turned into a flaring, white light that almost blinded me while my eyes adjusted. The second was a strange, vibrating goo. It had been the container I had held before, and marveled at. Now, it was transforming into a black ichor that seemed to reflect every visible color. The third was from the seemingly empty container. It was an almost invisible solid, light as air. It had stretched and conformed to the odd, pyramidal flask we placed it in. This one filled with green gas, which flowed through the tube and into the other vials where it dissolved into a prism of colors. The combined fumes flowed into a spiral of glass into an open funnel at the top. I held my breath, unsure what to expect. The noxious, multicolored fume filled the room. I began to cough, and fear for my life, but my captain's firm grip stilled my struggles. He held me there, and I felt a burning in my eyes and ears. After awhile, the smoke and burning subsided.
I slowly became aware of a vast open space. The lodge was still there, but it was transparent, like some veil between the worlds had been lifted out of the way by the chemicals and experiment. I could see through, to a great plain. It was black and featureless, lit from above by a strange, phosphorescent sky. Everything seemed bleak and colorless. Then, I began to see terrible things. Even the thought of them drives me out of my mind with horror, so I'll describe what I can. These beings were great, amphibious things. They floated through the stagnant air, bloated jellyfish of unnamed color. It hurt my eyes to even look at it. Sometimes, strange birds with many leather wings would get caught in their tentacles. They sucked like the sea creature on our world does, and consumed the creatures quickly. I watched the flesh and blood dissolve in the transparent things, then the bones fall to the desolation below. I shrieked, I think. I don't remember, but I kicked the loathsome machine in front of me. There was a shattering of glass and a bright flash, and then I don't know what happened.
The Return
When I awoke, I was cowering in the hold of our ship. I looked around me, not recognizing the room. It took me a few moments to realize I was in the forbidden forward decks. All around me were great cases. I opened one, and found it full of ice, fresh from the land around us. Below it was corpses. Human corpses. They could have been from anywhere, so varied were they in composition and skin tone. I screamed and fled. I fled the storage deck; there were no crew aboard. I began to throw up when I reached daylight. I regained my senses, fled, and took the other boat, hearing the devils coming up behind me.
By some superhuman feat, for I don't know where any normal man would find the strength, I managed to force myself to row out of that terrible chasm. The crew of the ship only stood on the deck, watching me. The captain was there, and I was sure I could still see his smile, even from here. Some thing too terrible to describe followed behind them, and I covered my face, looking to the floor of my boat. Once I was out of that terrible place, I unfurled the small sail, and crawled into the tiny under deck. There was no way a person of their stature could ever have used a vessel like this. I didn't stop to wonder why they hadn't followed me. I fancied that I may have heard yelling and some thunderous crash, but it could have been wishful thinking.
I don't know for how long I drifted, but my throat was parched. I knew from my books how to get small bits of pure water from sea water, and did what I could to that end. My hunger drove me to insane desires, including wanting to have that stew again. I don't know where they got the people from, but I was glad to be off that ship, even if I died alone and in the ocean. By some great virtue, though, I washed up on shore of some foreign country. I worked out with the locals that I had landed in South America. The mechanics of surviving such a journey alive was beyond me, but I did not question providence. I eventually worked out passage by land back to the United States. I don't think I could endure a single day more at sea, lest that horrible captain find me again. I did not tell those here about my journey, either, for fear they were in league with him.
The journey was long and quiet. I traveled by land for most of the way, then took a train once I reached the Panama Canal. There were places on this trip, though, that I felt like things were growing thin. I felt like I could see that other world again. I thought I could see the jellyfish in the sky on rare occasions. Every time I saw someone smile, I would look around for the captain of the ship. Once I returned, I hurried to tell the university of my findings. I got home, and began writing. Halfway through, I stopped and checked the time of year. Almost nine months had passed! I could not have been gone that long. I finished, and went down to the docks, wearing too much clothing to be recognizable. I did not see any ships of mysterious origins, or any sign of that horrible captain. Satisfied that I was safe, I fled to the university. I finally gained access, and was permitted to see the board of professors. The discussions and talks lasted for hours, repeatedly returning to my frantic state and the ruin of my clothes.
They didn't believe me. Nobody found record of that terrible ship and its cannibal crew. Nobody could tell what towns I had claimed to be at, or that I had ever left the state. They all said that I must have gotten lost in the forest on a night almost a year ago, and it was all a fabrication in my head. The last people to see me had been the university board, and they insisted that I had left quite upset. In this state, they claimed, I had wandered out of town and gotten lost in my delusions. People claim now that the sights I saw don't exist. I wish that were true. They locked me up in the asylum with the madmen. I hear them coming now. The orderlies. I think they're in on it, them and that horrible captain I traveled with. That horrible, horrible sound they make as they speak. It can't be human! I don't know what they are, but please, hide me. Hide me! I want to disappear into these pages. I must hide this before they realize I have it, and find it and destroy it! I should have known that we were only made to look at what we can see, and nothing beyond! I only hope nobody continues my work!

Directional switching median filter using boundary discriminative noise detection by elimination

We propose an accurate and efficient noise detection algorithm for impulse noise removal, called the boundary discriminative noise detection by elimination (BDNDE), which retains the good characteristics of the BDND filter proposed by Ng and Ma (in IEEE Trans. Image Process. 15(6):1506–1516, 2006) while suppressing noise effectively. In order to determine whether a pixel is corrupted, the algorithm first sets the minimum and maximum boundary (threshold) values based on the localized window centered on the pixel. The thresholding helps in achieving low false-alarm and miss-detection rate (even in random noise), even up to 90% noise densities. Extensive simulation results, conducted on gray scale images under a wide range (from 10 to 90%) of noise corruption, clearly demonstrate that our enhanced switching median filter gives better results compared to existing BDND median-based filters, in terms of suppressing impulse noise while preserving image details. The proposed method is algorithmically simple and faster, compared to existing BDND, and more suitable for real-time implementation and application. The new method has shown superior performance in terms of subjective quality in the filtered image as well as objective quality in the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) measurement to that of the BDND filter.

Description: The Wharton School course on which the book is based is designed for energetic students who have had some experience with probability and statistics, but who have not had advanced courses in stochastic processes. Even though the course assumes only a modest background, it moves quickly and - in the end - students can expect to have the tools that are deep enough and rich enough to be relied upon throughout their professional careers.The course begins with simple random walk and the analysis of gambling games. This material is used to motivate the theory of martingales, and, after reaching a decent level of confidence with discrete processes, the course takes up the more demanding development of continuous time stochastic process, especially Brownian motion. The construction of Brownian motion is given in detail, and enough material on the subtle properties of Brownian paths is developed so that the student should sense of when intuition can be trusted and when it cannot. The course then takes up the It integral and aims to provide a development that is honest and complete without being pedantic. With the It integral in hand, the course focuses more on models.Stochastic processes of importance in Finance and Economics are developed in concert with the tools of stochastic calculus that are needed in order to solve problems of practical importance. The financial notion of replication is developed, and the Black-Scholes PDE is derived by three different methods. The course then introduces enough of the theory of the diffusion equationto be able to solve the Black-Scholes PDE and prove the uniqueness of thesolution.

FBI: Man who shot himself at Greeley home was investigated for bank robbery
April 30, 2013
After more than a month of silence on a shooting at a west Greeley residence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation says agents had surrounded the house before the subject of a bank robbery investigation shot himself to death.
Steve Hahn, 42, was being investigated in connection with the Feb. 22 robbery of a Bank of Colorado branch in Johnstown, according to the FBI. He was at a home in the 5900 block of 21st Street on March 7 when agents surrounded the residence. Coroner Mark Ward said Hahn died at home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The agency has not named any other suspects in the robbery, and the investigation is closed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pardon is a decision to allow a convicted person to be free. Pardons are sometimes given to people who are wrongly convicted. In that case, the person is cleared of that conviction, as if never convicted.
The practice varies greatly between countries. In the United States pardon may be granted by the President.

Hiller's Markets to Host Gluten-Free Food Fair
A leader in gluten-free grocery retailing, Hiller's Markets will host a gluten-free food fair Oct. 18 at its Plymouth, Mich., store.
A leader in gluten-free grocery retailing, Hiller's Markets will host a gluten-free food fair Oct. 18 at its Plymouth, Mich., store.
A leader in providing an extensive variety of gluten-free products, Hiller's regularly hosts gluten-free food fairs, which draw shoppers from miles around to sample new products, learn from vendor exhibits, and gain information and support about gluten-free living.
An estimated one in 133 Americans has celiac disease -- an autoimmune disorder that causes the intestine to attack itself in response to wheat, rye and barley -- and many more people are unable to tolerate gluten, the substance that gives bread its crumbly texture.
"It is my priority to give my customers everything they need, all in one place," said Jim Hiller, CEO of Southfield, Mich.-based Hiller's Markets. "Imagine learning you cannot eat foods you've always enjoyed, and then realizing you'll have to drive to many stores to get the groceries you need -- or worse, search the Internet for items you can't find in a store."
Offering what Hiller says is the most extensive selection of gluten-free items in metro Detroit, the grocer, which operates seven stores in the area, uses gluten-free shelf tags to identify the products in every aisle. Hiller's also stocks a growing array of foods for customers with nut, dairy and wheat allergies, as well as those who follow a kosher diet, along with an impressive array of British and Japanese foods.

Drake (801) Milwaukee, Wisconsin | February 26, 2012
This is a large Whole Foods location, bright and open. Plenty of parking. I didn't get any help in the beer department specifically, but the employees in general here were better than average. Decent beer prices. Decent beer selection with a decent number of singles available.
Cybercat (299) Georgia | May 19, 2012
This is essentially the same as any Whole Foods Market - and I do like 'em. I found the service people to be helpful and alert, yet not all over me or over-eager. I received assistance and service quickly even though the place was fairly busy. Beer selection includes at least three brands I have never seen before - and I have thoroughly explored beer stores in Atlanta, Raleigh, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Portland OR, Asheville and Birmingham. I didn't try any food, but from past experience with Whole Foods I am sure that it is very good. Since this is near the Total Wine & More on Woodruff, you can hit two good beer stores in a short time.
JCB (289) Durham, North Carolina | May 4, 2012
Another stop on my whirlwind tour of Greenville, SC. This joint was so close to TW and I needed a sandwich. So while I was waiting for the cold cuts to be deployed I thought I'd see if they had any Westbrook Mexican Cake. No dice but they did have a little growler station where I snagged a 32oz Coast Simcoe Red. Smaller than usual assortment of beer for such a large WF. But what was there was solid enough.
nearbeer (247) Knoxville, Tennessee | March 23, 2008| Updated July 28, 2008
Great selection. Probably over 100 bottles available as singles, and very few macros. Good selection of Belgians. Great eat-in or take-out food selection as well. Whole Foods please come to Knoxville, TN!
DialSquare (161) Columbus, Ohio | January 8, 2014
Seems pretty typical for a Whole Foods. I hadn't bought beer in South Carolina for a long time and was able to find five different Westbrooks (my main target) and a mix six of other locals new to me. So, good I guess. Hard for me to put in context of what is around though.
fata2683 (131) Tucson, Arizona | August 26, 2010
stopped here on my way to PA. Great find, right off the highway, and right across the street from Total Wine, so both can he hit at the same time. Selection was nice, as for SC brews, Thomas Creek and Coast beers are available here along with a nice selection of imports and American craft beers. There is a mixed 6 pack section as well. Price is moderate. It's a Whole Foods, so of course, there is plenty of good food. Definitely worth the stop, if I make the drive again, I will for sure.
Naven (110) Poway, California | June 3, 2008
I have been to a lot of Whole Foods in my time, and this is probably the nicest one I have ever been in. The beer selection is solid, with many of the regional favorites present, and a surprisingly good selection of West Coast beers too. Worth a stop. Pick up a few beers and head over to Brixx Pizza across the road.
fiver29 (52) Cleveland, Ohio | June 27, 2009
I stopped in this past week and picked up some brews. They have a singles section broken down by US and international. There isn't a huge selection, but what they do have is pretty good. One of the beers I picked up was a Moylans Hopsickle. I had it last night and it was fresh. So I think they may rotate what they get pretty well. This was just what I thought it was.
nevets4433 (31) Alabama | January 5, 2012
A nice, overpriced grocery store. Beer selection was surprisngly small for a Whole Foods. Some decent local selection though. Overall, too pricey.
thagr81_us (24) Gaffney, South Carolina | May 4, 2010
I was pleasantly surprised the first time that I wandered into their beer section. With it being a grocery store, I did not expect much. However, as others have said, they have a pretty decent selection with a few hard-to-finds every once in awhile. I try to make my way back at least once a month to check them out. Service is usually pretty good as well.

text: HomeNewsSkylanders' 2017 Entry Officially Cancelled Alex Irish February 9, 2017 News Activsion has confirmed there will be no new entry for the Skylanders franchise in 2017. In the midst of the company's latest financials, the Skylanders series of console games will be taking the year off, with a new mobile title being the focus instead. For now, new content will continue to be released for Skylanders Imaginators, including a Switch port for the system's launch, and adventure packs, characters, and other add-ons. The Skylanders series' imminent cancellation was rumored late last year due to poor sales of Imaginators, continuing the downward trend from 2015's Skylanders Superchargers. As those rumors are now true, series developer Toys for Bob is safe for now from closure. Assistant developer Vicarious Visions will be working on development efforts for other games, including Call of Duty, instead. Skylanders ranks as the 11th highest grossing franchise in all of console gaming, with 300 million Skylanders figures sold since 2011. Netflix has also ordered a third season of the original series Skylanders: Hero Academy, meaning the franchise is not going anywhere soon. Share this post: No related posts.

French National Front Party Leader Marine Le Pen has vowed to hold a referendum on France remaining in the EU if she becomes president in the 2017 elections.
"This referendum on France belonging to the European Union, I will do it. Yes it is possible to change things. Look at the Brits, they chose their destiny, they chose independence ... We can again be a free, proud and independent people," she said on Saturday speech given in France's northeastern town of Brachay.
Around 700 supporters had gathered for her speech, chanting "Marine, President" and waving French flags.
On June 23, nearly 52 percent of Britons voted in a referendum to end their country's 42-year membership in the EU.
After Brexit's announcement, Le Pen tweeted her congratulations to the people of England. "Victory to liberty! As I have been demanding for many years, we now need the same referendum in France and EU countries," she said.
While portraying herself as France's sole plausible defender of law and order and national unity, Le Pen told her supporters that the most suitable way to battle terrorism was ballot paper.
France has been hit by a spate of terrorist attacks, and has been in state of emergency since last November when 130 people were killed in a series of coordinate attacks across the capital Pairs.
The people of France are set to cast the votes for the country's new president between April and May next year.
Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has also announced that he will be running in the upcoming elections.

HSBC Says Gold Could Go Sharply Higher – Or Not
HSBC has a report out on gold today, and it's somewhat dense. It delves into how asset allocators may be shifting their thinking about gold and how that could have a potentially dramatic impact on gold prices.
"Sovereign bonds have lost some of their 'risk free' attributes over the last couple of years and trust in fiat currencies has been eroded," the report begins. "No wonder many investors are choosing to buy gold as a hedge against the risks of paper assets."
So, gold prices, at about $1,368/oz, are set to take off? Well, not exactly. The report, authored by Fredrik Nerbrand, global head of asset allocation, ends his introduction with this: "It is important to stress that we are mapping out a number of scenarios, not changing forecasts. The HSBC gold price forecasts for 2011, 2012 and the long term are USD1,425/oz, USD1,275/oz and USD1,050/oz, respectively."
Huh. Turns out Mr. Nebrand is just doing a little mental gymnastics, so pay no attention to the results. HSBC's gold forecast of late October, made by the precious metals gang – not the asset allocation gang — remains operational. A little like starting a sentence with "Let me be clear" and then descending into rambling obfuscation.

The report includes statistics on line-of-duty firefighter injuries from NFPA's survey of fire departments, including non-incident-related injuries, trends, and brief narratives on selected incidents.
Patterns of Firefighter Fireground Injuries
Includes annual average estimates of injuries by such factors as type of injury, type of activity at time of injury, cause of injury by level of severity, occupancy where injury occurred, time of day and ages of injured firefighters.
U.S. Firefighter Deaths Related to Training, 2001-2010
Training is a vital part of fire department operations, but it too often results in unnecessary deaths and injuries. Between 2001-2010, 108 firefighters died while engaged in training-related activities (11.3 percent of all on-duty firefighter deaths in those years, not including the 340 deaths at the World Trade Center in 2001).

Is it possible to join multiple ClearPass servers(subscribers) to the publisher simultaneously?
It is recommended to join one node at a time to the publisher/cluster, since the ClearPass publisher will lock the database temporarily for further configuration changes when one the node is in the process for synchronizing the configuration from publisher(cluster joining operation). The lock will be released after the node(subscriber) successfully joined to the cluster.
Therefore, the cluster join will fail if you try to add multiple nodes to the publisher simultaneously, as the DB will be in locked state for the first node that made entry as subscriber.
Please find the below screen captures, confirming the temporary database lock when one of the node is joining to the Publisher. You need to wait for the release of database lock to join another node to the cluster.

Game Rescue: Strike Back is a shooting range, which is not even trying to somehow get beyond the genre, if someone gives us an opportunity to move at least somewhere once, then everything is as usual, the location, the shelter mezhdk which our hero and rush yourself and the enemy, in which you have to shoot. Whatever it was, I propose to examine in more detail what are we here such "interesting" offer.
The game begins with a small and unpretentious plot (however, at least some), who will talk about yet another attempt of scientists to create a super-soldier, which ended very badly. At this time the test tried to cross with some monsters that scientists have found on a distant planet, you know what came of it, the army of monsters escaped from prison and did not justify the hopes of scientists started to live their lives. Just then participate in handy most ordinary soldiers (especially you) who need to equip as much as possible and go to battle with the cruel monsters.
Gameplay will surprise few people and even fewer who rejoice because he is modest to say the least. Sit behind cover and shoot at monsters. Missions quite a lot, for each give money that can be spent only on new weapons and that will have to save a very long time. The only thing that can cheer somebody - unusual mission in which you want to destroy a particular monster (something like a boss), but in general, a strong diversity here and does not smell. The only thing that can certainly pull a game out of the pit - graphics that there is definitely a beautiful and polished, but who now this surprise?
games Disadvantages:
Bottom line: do the type of candy is very difficult and the game Rescue: Strike Back is proved because no candy did not work. Moreover, the disadvantages here enough, especially if we compare the game with a lot of her classmates.

I just banged some text in for the "description" element. Nicola Ken, would you please tweak that text. Is it really based on forrest-site? Could you add a few words about the differences. It would be good to provide a leading example for the descriptor. We should discuss the needs of the skins.xml descriptor. So far we have some attributes for the <skin> element ... name="testskin" author="Nicola Ken Barozzi" website="http://www.nicolaken.com" url="http://www.apache.org/~nicolaken/whiteboard/forrestskins/" and then a <description> element for some text. It would be nice if the "website" was actually a page that gave some information about the skins, rather than just a simple credit URL. --David

Utah football hosted a large, talented group of recruits this past weekend for their homecoming game against the Arizona Wildcats. One of those visitors, West Virginia commit Michael Harley Jr. took some time to talk to us about his trip to Salt Lake City.
"Utah was great. I loved the vibe out there, especially between the coaches & players. My host was Devontae (Henry-Cole), and we had a good time," he said. "I spent a lot of time with the guys from St. Thomas Aquinas. They took us out to a haunted house our first night, which was cool. They took us out to eat, and around the city, which I was surprised by how big it was. Then game day, we got a tour of the campus and where we'd spend most of our time based on our major, and the game was absolutely crazy. The fans were crazy and it was good to see the Utes win."
Harley committed to West Virginia back in June and has continually stated his commitment is firm. After a solid start to his senior season, more schools have gotten involved in Harley's recruitment, and the Utes have continued to actively recruit the speedy wideout.
"Coach Erickson is my main recruiter, and I have a good relationship with him. He's like a great uncle. He's always checking up on me and not even about football," explained Harley. "Coach Holliday has gotten involved in my recruitment too, and I like him. He's a straightforward coach and has put a lot of guys in the league. Coach Whittingham has been there since 2005 and won a lot of games. They have a great tradition. The coaches have really built a great program and a winning program."
The Utes see Harley as a guy that can play on the outside and in the slot, and believe that he's someone who can come in early and compete for playing time. Another the thing the Utes may have in their favor are former St Thomas Aquinas teammates and current Utes Devontae Henry-Cole, Chris Hart, and Tyson Cisrow to help in his recruitment. "It was good to hang out with those guys. They're always telling me about Utah and how great it is out here. They say it's a good change from Florida, and just a great program to play for," he said.
Although the Utes made a strong impression, they still have some work to do in Harley's recruitment. "I'm still committed to West Virginia. I have a great relationship with them, and they've put a lot of receivers into the league too," he said. "I do have other visits set up, and I'm excited to take those. I plan on making a final decision after the season and after all my visits."
Thus far, Harley has visits set up with Wisconsin, West Virginia, Michigan, and Louisville in the coming weeks. As he compares the programs based on what he sees, Harley says his decision will come down to something pretty simple. "I'm looking for honesty from the coaches, a winning program and early playing time. Those are my three big factors," he said.

Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) is being countersued by TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO) for several digital video recorder (NYSE:DVR) tech patents.
Everything started when Cisco sued TiVo for "failing to grant a broad license for its technology, because doing so would impede on TiVo's ability to bring, and ultimately settle, lawsuits over its patents". This seems like a sensible request to me.
Now TiVo claims that Cisco violated four of its digital video recorder tech patents. The company claims that Cisco boxes infringe on patents that make the playback of time-shifted TV possible. This is not good news for Cisco. TiVo wants Cisco to pay compensatory and other damages for the infringement. Cisco says that it will "defend its DVR products and our customers against TiVo's aggressive strategy of wrongfully asserting its patent claims". Cisco is facing several issues in the consumer realm, and this is just the cherry on top of the cake.
However, Cisco has put forward the argument in a pre-emptive lawsuit that if TiVo wants rights to those patents, it must license them. It seems that TiVo plans to make money out of other companies by suing them every time they make use of DVRs that Cisco owns but has not licensed. If TiVo wants to make a big deal about the situation, it has to license its products. Consequently, Cisco has filed a complaint against TiVo. Basically the tech company wants TiVo to either license the technology, or have the patents declared invalid. Again, that seems like a fair enough demand. If the court decides to announce the patents as invalid there will no longer be a lawsuit against Cisco.
The news that TiVo is suing Cisco is not particularly surprising as the company has used this method in several other instances and against other firms in order to generate income. The other firms that it is suing are ones that originally bought the DVRs from Cisco, so it is not surprising that TiVo has finally turned its attention to Cisco itself for its newest legal battle. As things stand, TiVo has been involved in more than seven years of litigation cases similar to this one. I feel that Cisco may have the stronger case in this situation as TiVo should be compelled to license the technology if it wants to claim intellectual rights over it.
However, it is safe to assume that Cisco knew about the patents and the infringements because of the cases that TiVo has waged against other companies with which Cisco has close ties and partnerships, namely Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T (NYSE:T). It will be quite interesting to see which of the two companies comes out on top of this case. In my opinion, Cisco has the stronger argument, but not everyone necessarily sees it that way.
Court cases always generate bad press for a company. However, if Cisco's appeal against TiVo is successful I believe that the damage caused in his regard will be minimal. From my point of view, it seems that TiVo does not have much of a case and that it won't be successful with its litigation this time. However, we will have to wait and see where this leads the company.
Competitor IBM (NYSE:IBM) recently decided to boost its smarter computing initiative, a very good strategy, I feel, as this shows the company's dedications to making things faster for enterprising businesses. The businesses that use the new form of smarter computing will be able to analyze and organize data in ways that will allow them to serve their customers better and thereby increase their revenue. This is something that will keep IBM very popular with a number of businesses, and I think that this is a tech stock that has the right idea about how to move forward.
Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) is expanding its Inspiron laptop range by introducing a laptop specifically for families and students. These new Inspiron laptops come with Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) new 3rd Generation Core i processors and the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. All-in-all the new laptops come with some impressive specs. However, I feel that Dell should be looking into the tablet market rather than focusing on its Laptop range. Its competitors are way ahead of it in this regard and it needs to catch up if it wants to be a serious player in the industry.
Hewlett Packard's (NYSE:HPQ) new CEO Meg Whitman has a very simple vision for HP's future, and she may just be the right person to achieve that vision. There is a long way to go and the company will have to focus on its traditional products and not move on to more consumer-favored options for a while to come, but in the long run we may see a turnaround. This is not something to get too excited about. There is a long way to go and a number of things that must be done before this end goal is reached.
EMC (EMC) is making the right move in its attempt to get involved in the arena of cloud computing. This is definitely the way forward for tech stocks. Recently, it partnered with Verizon to work on its new cloud computing initiative. I expect great success form this partnership. However, there are many other companies also entering the market of cloud computing. Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) also recently announced new cloud computing options. EMC will have to move quickly to stay ahead of the game and make a significant mark on the industry.
Keep an eye out for Cisco's legal future and see where that goes. Cisco's status could remain up in the air until a conclusion is reached.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

By Curt Anderson, Associated Press Writer
MIAMI A married couple who lead one of Brazil's largest evangelical churches were sentenced to nearly five months in prison Friday after pleading guilty to smuggling more than $56,000 into the United States hidden in luggage, a child's backpack and a Bible case.
Estevam Hernandes Filho and his wife, Sonia Haddad Moraes Hernandes, must serve an additional five months of house arrest in the United States and pay $60,000 in fines under a sentence imposed by U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno.
Hernandes, 53, is to surrender Monday to begin serving his prison term. His 48-year-old wife will serve her house arrest term first at their home in Boca Raton and then report to prison Jan. 21. Both must also serve a probation.
Both were given credit for 10 days they spent in custody after their initial Jan. 8 arrests at Miami International Airport. Their lawyers had asked for probation, and they each faced as much as 16 months in jail.
The couple pleaded guilty in June to failing to declare on a customs form that they were carrying more than $10,000 into the United States. They have been under house arrest at their Boca Raton home since Jan. 19.
The couple -- known as Apostle Estevam and Bishop Sonia to their followers -- lead Brazil's Reborn in Christ Church, which they founded in 1986 and now claims hundreds of thousands of followers. Brazilian authorities are seeking the couple's extradition on charges of looting parishioners' donations for their own use.
Moreno said he did not base his sentence on the possible Brazilian prosecution and accepted the couple's explanation that the $56,467 they illegally brought into the U.S. was not taken from church donations. That money will be forfeited to the U.S. government.
The lengthy hearing took place in a courtroom packed with about 60 family members and supporters, many of whom wept loudly when Moreno delivered his sentence. Dozens of followers also wrote letters to Moreno asking for a lenient sentence.
"They've done a lot of good," the judge said. "Sometimes, you've got to do penance."
Sonia Hernandes cried in court and said she was sorry for what happened. Hur husband asked the judge for forgiveness.
Albert Krieger, one of the couple's lawyers, said they brought the money to the United States as part of a plan to gradually move their permanent residence from Brazil to Boca Raton out of fear they and their families might be targeted by kidnappers. He said the money was hidden in various belongings because the couple worried about thieves at airports.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Armando Rosquete said it was "bizarre" for the church leaders to hide money in a Bible case. "What I see in this case is an element of greed," he said.
The Reborn in Christ Church said in a statement: "We shall continue praying for our Apostle and our Bishop, knowing that once they complete their sentence they will return to guide us. They know that until they return ... their flock will continue walking down the path they have pointed out," the statement said.

Orientalism (Paperback)
The noted critic and a Palestinian now teaching at Columbia University,examines the way in which the West observes the Arabs.
About the Author
Edward W. Said was born in 1935 in Jerusalem, raised in Jerusalem and Cairo, and educated in the United States, where he attended Princeton (B.A. 1957) and Harvard (M.A. 1960; Ph.D. 1964). In 1963, he began teaching at Columbia University, where he was University Professor of English and Comparative Literature. He died in 2003 in New York City. He is the author of twenty-two books which have been translated into 35 languages, including Orientalism (1978); The Question of Palestine (1979); Covering Islam (1980); The World, the Text, and the Critic (1983);Culture and Imperialism (1993); Peace and Its Discontents: Essays on Palestine and the Middle East Peace Process (1996);and Out of Place: A Memoir (1999). Besides his academic work, he wrote a twice-monthly column for Al-Hayat and Al-Ahram; was a regular contributor to newspapers in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East; and was the music critic for The Nation."
Praise For…
"The theme is the way in which intellectual traditions are created and trans-mitted... Orientalism is the example Mr. Said uses, and by it he means something precise. The scholar who studies the Orient (and specifically the Muslim Orient), the imaginitive writer who takes it as his subject, and the institutions which have been concerned with teaching it, settling it, ruling it, all have a certain representation or idea of the Orient defined as being other than the Occident, mysterious, unchanging and ultimately inferior." --Albert Hourani, New York Review of Books

Nearly four years ago the government introduced a set of new rules that HMRC must follow when undertaking a taxpayer compliance check. Finance Bill 2011 will update those rules by specifying what form of notice is required when obtaining information from a third party, how the notice will be complied with, the right of appeal, and penalties for non-compliance.
All of the current rules will be gathered into one Schedule in the single act rather than being spread throughout the various pieces of legislation.
The third parties subjected to checks are to be known as "data-holders" and HMRC lists them into categories thought to hold information that may be required when undertaking an investigation. The information may refer to any of the taxes administered by HMRC and could als...

The Amazing & The Immutable
Images (left to right): Lewis Hine, The Little Spinner, Carolina Cotton Mill, 1908, silver print, 7 x 5 inches, Drapkin Collection; Roe Ethridge, Car Carrier, New York Harbor, 2002, C-print, 50 x 40 inches, Margulies Collection.
February 2 – March 13, 2004
Selected vintage and contemporary photographic works from the Florida collections of Robert Drapkin and Martin Margulies
The Amazing & The Immutable is an exhibition combining and contrasting vintage and contemporary photographic-based work from the distinguished Florida collections of Robert Drapkin and Martin Margulies. This unique perspective offers an opportunity to explore the collectors' passion for photography in two eras of crisis for the medium: the 19th century when photography sought to define itself in relation to painting, and the turn of the 21st century when digital forms are the issue. Both collections contain examples of classic subject matter that, when compared, allow an examination of photographic practice over time, and reveal evolutions in format, formal content, perspective, technique and process.
The Amazing & The Immutable includes examples of portraiture, landscape, and narrative photography, addressing themes of architecture, the human figure, war, and industry. Artists include Eugene Atget, Edward Baldus, Vanessa Beecroft, Mathew Brady, Julia Margaret Cameron, Rineke Dijkstra, Rudolf Eickemeyer, Olafur Eliasson, Bisson Freres, Alexander Gardner, Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Izima Kaoru, Jean-Pierre Khazem, Shirin Neshat, Thomas Struth, and William Henry Fox Talbot. Among the techniques represented are daguerrotype, ambrotype, photogravure, platinum, albumen, salt, silver gelatin, cibachrome and chromogenic development.
Companion Didactic Exhibition:
Concurrently Graphicstudio will house a didactic exhibit of the apparatus and methods involved in the fabrication and printing of photographs.
Symposium: Content & Continuity
Panelists include collectors Robert Drapkin and Martin Margulies, curator/author Roger Kingston and Norton Museum of Art curator of photography Virginia Heckert; moderated by Margaret Miller, Director of the Institute for Research in Art. The panel will discuss the exhibition and collecting philosophies.

Muhammad Ali
October 12, 2011 by staff
Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali is preparing for another fight, this time in the courtroom rather than the boxing ring.
The heavyweight champion and his wife Yolanda are suing the former owners of his mansion in Madrid, saying they were not informed of the housing problems before you buy.
Ali, 69, bought the eastern Jefferson County, Kentucky mansion in 2006 as a summer home to 1.9 million, according to Louisville 11 WHAS television stations.
Boxing legend and his wife said that the owners, and Patrick Beverly Lancaster, lied about the problems with the house, there would be a leak in the roof and chimney, poor insulation, inadequate ventilation, faulty accumulation of covers and rust . The couple seeks unspecified damages.
Ali, born Cassius Clay, was born in Louisville and went on to become the first and only three-time heavyweight boxing. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1983. Sports Illustrated named him "Sportsman of the Century" in 1999. He has been married to Yolanda, his fourth wife, since 1986.

Meet the Latest Denver Sexually Violent Predators Exposed on YouTube
A screen capture from the Denver Police Department clip featuring sexually violent predator Christopher James McGough. Videos and more below.
Update: Last month, we told you about a new Denver Police Department program to provide information about sexually violent predators via YouTube.
Since then, the DPD has given two more SVPs the YouTube treatment, including Christopher James McGough, seen above, whose clip was put online yesterday.
Early indications suggest that this approach is getting the word out to many more people than did the old method of neighborhood meetings and the like.
See the latest clips and get more information below.
The first three sexually violent predators featured in the new series were Robert Jake Chavez and Donald Randall Bills, who were living in Park Hill, and Anthony William Fritz, located in Ruby Hill.
At this writing, the clips, which provide information about SVPs in general, the convicted man's crimes, plus schools and bus routes in the area, haven't exactly gone viral, but their number of views is substantial: north of 1,200 for both Chavez and Bills and nearly 5,000 for Fritz as of this morning.
Hence, new posts for the unfortunately named James Holmes (middle name: Alphonso), a transient said to be living near the 1100 block of Park Avenue West, and McGough, whose most recent address is a motel at 8400 East Colfax.
See the videos below, followed by our previous coverage.
Original post, 10:50 a.m. March 12: Robert Jake Chavez, Donald Randall Bills and Anthony William Fritz are currently experiencing a modicum of Internet fame.
But we doubt they're enjoying it much.
A screen capture from one of the new Denver Police Department videos spotlighting sexually violent predators. Clips and more below.
In recent weeks, the Denver Police Department has been trying a new method to inform community members of sexually violent predators moving into their neighborhoods.
The DPD has started spotlighting such individuals in a series of videos, which provide a huge amount of information about SVP notification laws in Colorado, as well as the offenders themselves.
The first three to get this treatment are Chavez and Bills, who live in Park Hill, and Fritz, a resident of Ruby Hill.
The Chavez video begins ominously, with on-screen graphics and accompanying narration: "Attention, Park Hill residents! This is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information."
Actually, the video's not that short, especially by YouTube standards. It lasts around ten minutes, with detailed explanations from Officer Ron Hackett of the DPD's communication team, plus specifics regarding Chavez's crimes and whereabouts, including maps showing his actual residence, as seen in the image above.
The reported reason for the YouTube experiment was the relatively low turnout at public meetings about SVPs, and while the number of clicks the clips have generated to date don't qualify them as viral, the information has undoubtedly reached hundreds more than would have likely heard about it otherwise.
Here are the three videos.Send your story tips to the author, Michael Roberts.

Play "Uncle Vanya"
Susquehanna University's Department of Theatre will present Anton Chekhov's play "Uncle Vanya" at 8 p.m. Dec. 5–7 and at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 8 in Degenstein Center Theater.
The performance, directed by Assistant Professor of Theatre Anna Andes, will also feature Doug Powers, associate professor of theatre, in the title role of Vanya. Powers only joins the all-student cast for a show every few years.
Chekhov's poignant play is both heartwarmingly funny and sad. "Uncle Vanya" follows the plight of a country estate and its inhabitants. The arrival of the estate's owners, Professor Serebryakov and his young second wife, Yelena, causes unrest for Uncle Vanya and his niece, Sophia, who currently take care of the decaying estate. The crisis is further complicated when the professor decides to sell the estate.
"Anton Chekhov is one of the world's most important playwrights," Andes said. "This is an opportunity to see the amazing work of students and faculty."
Tickets for the performance are $10 for adults, $7 for non-SU students and free for Susquehanna students. They can be purchased by visiting the university box office or calling 570-372-ARTS (2787) Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m.
