Who wants to be a millionaire? Most people wouldn't mind. But who wants to hand over their savings to a millionaire? That was the question in Hong Kong last week, and the answer: just about everybody. Hundreds of thousands of people jostled, shoved and sometimes begged to give sizable checks to Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's most powerful tycoon. Some 50,000 lined up in one neighborhood, and 100 policemen had to be dispatched to keep them peaceful. On Nathan Road, Hong Kong's prime tourist boulevard, traffic had to be rerouted to accommodate crowds waving bank drafts.Technically, they weren't giving Li cash but investing it in a company--even sexier, an Internet company with the catchy name of Tom.com--closely associated with him. That sounds reasonable, although financial experts noted the locals' propensity for mass hysteria over money matters. None was more distressed than Donald Tsang, the Financial Secretary, who worried about people overseas seeing television footage of Hong Kongers going bananas: Wouldn't they think money is all the society is about?
What the hordes were clamoring for was a piece of a new Internet venture, 57% of which is owned by Hutchison-Whampoa and its parent Cheung Kong Holdings, the flagship of Li's business empire. (Another significant Tom.com shareholder is Pacific Century CyberWorks, a high-flying Internet company controlled by Li's son Richard, who is currently trying to gain control of Cable & Wireless HKT, the Hong Kong telecom giant.) Li offered 16.9% of Tom.com's shares to the public to raise $113 million. And in contrast to a stock offering in the United States, where hot ipos are usually the domain of big mutual funds and other institutional investors, a full 10% of those Tom.com shares were allocated to individual investors.
When Tom.com did its sums, investors had given checks for 700 times the number of shares available. So much cash was locked up in the offer that trading in other shares slumped, prompting concerns over the stability of the financial system as a whole. The good news for those who bought shares at the offer price of 23 cents: analysts expect Tom.com shares to at least quadruple when trading begins this week, and that's a spectacular paper profit.
Despite the frenzy on the streets, Tom.com wasn't as popular as some of the red-chip companies, so called for their connections to the Chinese mainland, that were floated in Hong Kong in the mid-'90s. (The wheels on that bandwagon fell off a few years later when several of the firms defaulted on their debts.) But Tom.com is the most successful launch anywhere for a company that essentially does nothing. Cheung Kong is a property conglomerate with virtually no Internet experience. Tom.com was created in November, and the domain name was bought from a U.S. company in December. Tom.com does have a website, which broadcasts programming from a Hong Kong radio station. Other than that, it has little but the glitter of Li's backing and a business plan that would have been considered audacious to the point of lunacy just a few months ago. Its managers say they want Tom.com to become the most popular portal, or entry site, for Chinese-language Internet users, after which they intend to make it the Time Warner of Asia. But they also admit that plans for the company really begin with the public offering, which was designed to give Tom.com currency, they say, to use in making Internet-related investments and poaching Net-savvy people.
Currency it got, from the nest eggs of some half-million individuals, and the $113 million raised last week is a big chunk of Tom.com's working capital. In other words, now that the public has ponied up some cash, Tom.com will figure out how to spend it. You can say that it's nothing now, says Scott Blanchard, head of Asian Sales Trading at ABN AMRO. But give it a little time. Li is waiting until he has a market capitalization before he starts making big deals and signing on big names. Success is a self-fulfilling prophecy for Tom.com.
Individual investors weren't the only ones mesmerized by the Li connection. The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong granted Cheung Kong a rare waiver of its rule that investments in a new issue must be held for at least two years; instead, Cheung Kong is free to cash out after only six months. Perhaps stung by accusations of favoritism, the Exchange ordered an investigation into the chaos that surrounded last week's offering.
I think it's all a dead-on sign we're reaching the peak of the market, says Sadiq Currimbhoy, a strategist at Merrill Lynch's Hong Kong office, where the office boy was among the throngs trying to buy Tom.com shares. Other indications: the Hang Seng Index has climbed 70% in the past 12 months, and many of the most popular tech stocks aren't even represented on the index. In January, shares in a money-losing textile company called Cheung Wah rocketed 32-fold after Japanese Internet investor Softbank announced plans to acquire it for use as a holding company. Acme Landis, which manufactures and installs toilet bowls and sinks, has become a hot stock after a consortium of Netrepreneurs and investors bought a majority stake in the company. And last week, Hong Kong businessman Simon Murray acquired a local company called Arnhold Holdings, which used to make kitchen cabinets. He's turning it into a tech stock, and the shares finished the week up nearly 400%. Murray's claim to fame: as a former chief executive officer of Hutchison-Whampoa, he is known to enjoy Li's good graces. In today's Hong Kong, that's enough to get the checkbooks fluttering.

Heisey powers Reds past YankeesJun 23, 2011 - 6:21 AM
Heisey finished 3-for-4 with five RBI and scored four times for the Reds, who dropped a 4-2 decision in the twinbill opener.
Scott Rolen added two hits, two RBI and two runs scored for Cincinnati, which won for the second time in its last six games.
"Offense is contagious when someone gets it started and then all of a sudden, you get a couple more hits and everybody joins in," Heisey said.
Cueto (5-2) allowed just two hits and one run, while fanning six and walking three.
Alex Rodriguez collected two hits and drove in a run, while Nick Swisher posted a solo homer for the Yankees, who saw their four-game win streak snapped.
Brian Gordon (0-1) took the loss in his second major-league start, charged with four runs on five hits -- including three homers -- over five full frames.
"(Gordon) left some balls up tonight," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi.
Ahead by a 4-1 margin, Cueto's fielding error on a Robinson Cano grounder loaded the bases in the New York seventh. But the Reds starter avoided trouble by getting Ramiro Pena to ground into a force at home and retiring pinch- hitter Jorge Posada on a grounder.
Cincinnati responded with three runs in the home half on Rolen's RBI double, a run-scoring infield single by Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce's bases-loaded hit-by-pitch for a 7-1 contest.
The Yanks picked up a run on a Rodriguez two-out double that drove in Curtis Granderson, but Swisher struck out looking to end the inning.
In the home portion, Rolen knocked in Drew Stubbs with a single then Heisey capped his career game with a two-run blast to make it 10-2.
Heisey got the home team off to a good start, greeting Gordon with a long homer to right, but Swisher equalized with a solo shot to start the second.
Jonny Gomes began the home second with a shot to left, then in the fifth, Paul Janish singled with one out and Heisey cleared the wall in left to make it 4-1 for Cincinnati.
Game Notes
Heisey was the 32nd player in Reds history to hit three homers in one game, with the last being Bruce on August 27, 2010...Cueto has given up just one earned run in his last three starts. He has allowed three earned runs or less in all of his nine starts this year...Prior to the contest, the Yankees placed pitcher Jeff Marquez on the 15-day disabled list and recalled pitcher Buddy Carlyle from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

By this time next year, a new land-speed record, set in South Africa, could be written into the world's history books –if everything goes according to plan.
The current land speed record, at 1 227 km/h, was set in 1997 by the Thrust supersonic car (SSC). The Bloodhound SSC, named after a decades-old UK missile, would have the same driver the Thrust had: Royal Air Force Wing Commander Andy Green.
The British team working to break the record on Hakskeen Pan, in the Northern Cape, would first aim for a 'modest' improvement on the current record, at 1 300 km/h in 2013, with the ultimate goal of 1 600 km/h to be left for 2014, Green told Engineering News on a recent visit to South Africa.
Officially the fastest man on earth, Green came to the continent to see how work on clearing stones and rocks from the pan was progressing.
"We need to do the run in the dry season, which is the third quarter of 2013 – if every- thing works out perfectly, which is unlikely. We are building something like a spaceship on a very tight budget," he said.
The Bloodhound, which would have the equivalent horsepower of 180 Formula One racing cars, was designed to cover 16 km in less than two minutes, and to blast from zero to 1 600 km/h – or 1.4 times the speed of sound, and faster than a bullet fired from a Magnum .357 – in under a minute.
To achieve this, it would make use of a rocket, a jet from a fighter aircraft, and the engine of a Formula 1 racing car, giving the car a helluva lot of thrust at 212 kN.
Green said the Bloodhound's major chassis components should be assembled by Christmas this year, with the engine, rocket and fuel tank added by the first quarter of next year.
This would be followed by a test programme for the hand-built prototype, which would include some airfield runs. However, warned Green, inclement weather such as seen in the UK this year, might thwart this schedule.
The 1 300 km/h attempt would serve to determine "how the desert reacts", he added.
The team had to consider the impact of various factors, such as shock waves and rolling resistance – with too little of the latter "creating a problem to stop".
To officially set the record, the Bloodhound would need to complete two runs in opposite directions within one hour. The average speed of the two runs would then be taken as the speed achieved. This meant the ability to control the car's stopping and, therefore, the turnaround time, would be key to the success of the record attempt.
"We'll pause, look at the data, do some re-engineering through the rainy season, and then bring the car back in 2014 for the 1 600 km/h attempt. We need to establish the car's credibility. This is probably the safest way to do it," explained Green.
The entire attempt would rack up a bill of roughly R200-million, with two-thirds of this already promised.
"It looks like we have money to build the car. The closer we get to the record attempt with something to show, the easier it will be to get sponsors," said Green.
Should the euro collapse, however, owing to the continued economic turmoil in Europe, it could become "much more difficult" to find sponsors, he added.
The current land-speed record was set in Nevada, in the US, in the Black Rock desert, so why not go back there?
Apparently this piece of desert is no longer flat enough. The surface had to be dead-flat and firm, but with some 'give' in it, so the Bloodhound's solid aluminium wheels could dig in a few centimetres and find lateral grip.
South Africa had the biggest and firmest dried-out lake bed in Hakskeen Pan. However, this pan first had to be cleared of stones of all sizes. If one of the Bloodhound's front wheels flicked up a stone it could come at the car at the speed of a bullet.
This meant the Bloodhound team had been working with the Northern Cape government to ensure the pan could become a world-class race track.
Three-hundred local people had now cleared the 19-km-long and 500-m-wide track for the record attempt. This was a 19.5-million square metre area – the largest area ever cleared by hand, said Green.
Work would now start on clearing the track's side areas.
"It's like starting in Johannesburg and clearing two lanes of the N1 all the way to Cape Town– and now you have to turn around and do another two lanes," said Green.
It would be worth it, though, as Hakskeen Pan could be the world's "most famous piece of track" by this time next year.
As happened with the job of clearing the track, Green said the Bloodhound team would like to see several franchises, such as T-shirts commemorating the record attempt, go to local entrepreneurs.
The Northern Cape would also benefit from local sponsor MTN erecting several masts to enable global coverage of the record attempts.
"We need to have video of the event and data on the car, and stream it across the globe. We'll also have a huge global audience watching this attempt," said Green.
This meant the remote Hakskeen Pan would have access to some of the fastest phone and Internet coverage in the country – which seems quite appropriate considering what could happen 12 months from now.

BEIJING, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- A 6.8-magnitude earthquake jolted the Xinjiang region in northwest China Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The earthquake's epicenter, at a depth of 7.45 miles, was about 166 miles east-southeast of Hotan, China, and 559 miles east-northeast of Islamabad, Pakistan, the USGS said.
Readings by the China Earthquake Networks Center indicated the earthquake had a 7.3 magnitude, China's state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
There were no immediate report of casualties or property damage, Xinhua said. Mostly Uyghurs live in the sparsely populated area.
The center reported several aftershocks, including one with a magnitude of 5.7.

USI Executive MBA is pleased to announce the upcoming event:
Keynote speaker: Kandarp Mehta, IESE Business School, University of Navarra
When: Saturday, January 21st, 2017
Where: USI Lugano campus, Executive Center
This session looks at the fundamental elements of the negotiation skill of an executive.
For an executive negotiation is not a choice, it's a necessity. As a result it's essential for a manager to work on his/her negotiation skill. In this session, through a practical simulation we will try to understand some of the most important aspects of negotiation skill of a manager. Negotiations involve a dual pressure for an executive. On one hand the executive is under pressure to compete and create maximum value, on the other hand the executive wants to collaborate and establish a relationship. Quite often negotiations involve not only opportunities for creation of value but also a resolution of a conflict or a deadlock. This session will address this competitive-collaborative pressure that each manager faces.
The session will provide practical tools and tips that managers can use in their day-to-day negotiations and become more effective.
9.45 - 10.00: Registration and Welcome
10.15 - 10.30: Event presentation Prof. Gianluca Colombo
10.30 - 10.50: Negotiation : The Competitive - Collaborative tension in negotiation

11.10 - 11.40: Negotiation Principles and Negotiation Process
11.40 - 11.50: Factors that make a good negotiator, a great negotiator
11.50 - 12.00: Conclusions

Linux/Android mp3 player
Can amyone suggest a portable mp3 player as an alternative to the iPlop, which has more than 32GB of portable storage and ideally runs Android/Linux.
A screen to display the track, cover album and controls would be nice too.
I am not looking for a phone, but a high capacity portable solution.
Any opinions on the "Archos 5 Internet Tablet with 500 GB Hard Drive", the reviews are not too favourable, however 500GB of storage is attractive.
It's ashame that the Nexus 7 has no SD card slot...
And the Cowon X7 also receives terrible reviews, although 120GB of storage.
The Samsung Galaxy Players are decent and relatively inexpensive. They run 2.3.
They are interesting however I was hoping for more capacity (like 64GB minimum).
Currently the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 has 8GB Internal and 32GB external via a SDCard, and also an old version of Android.
1. What version of Android is it running. I presume that you mean a 4.2 inch display with Android 2.3 which is very old.
2. Can you please post the link to it.
3. The capacity is very low... although a great concept, it does'nt hold enough albums for me...
Specs are here:
More specs here:
Gingerbread is ok, it is optimized for these older models and it supports Flash player (you need to manually upgrade it by sideloading).
The capacity is good. It has an internal 8GB card (free space about 6GB) and external SD Card of more 8GB (free space 7GB). You can remove the card and replace it with a bigger one.
It's very good as web browser. I stream live tv all day on it.
The Galaxy Samsung S is effectively a phone without UMTS. What I like about it, is that this one is 4 inches which is about the largest that I want for an MP3 player. The 5 inch version is too big because then it is phone like :-)
How long does the battery last for you. The fact that there is an interchangeable battery is a huge plus so you can pack an extra battery when going away for the weekend.
I have read on Amazon (there is another link to the device on Amazon) that a 64GB Micro SD card is the largest card that you can add to it, can anyone confirm that this works and would a larger capacity card work, I don't know what file-system it's using, can you confirm that it's ex-FAT please ?
So in total 6.53 GB on the internal card plus 64GB would be 70.53GB total storage minus Android Apps. That would make it suit my purposes.
I read that a 16GB SanDisk MicroSD did'nt work, so I am wondering what manufacturer MicroSD card's do work...
Also there is the possibility to root it and put CyanogenMod 10 on it, thus upgrading to Android 4.x Has anyone done that yet. I am wondering what would prevent CM10 from working, or if the device requires any special device drivers.
That would make this much more attractive as an MP3 player and the capacity would be slightly larger than an iPod Touch 64GB 5th Gen and cheaper at less than half the price and more than double the quality with Android, even if it is 2.2/2.3 :-)
There are also different models and different names for this in the USA and Europe, Wikipedia explains more to stave off confusion.
Couldn't you just purchase a used phone or buy one at low cost and use it as a mp3 player?
My phone works pretty good as mp3 player with some good headphones. With the right setup, you could use the phone with wifi also to make calls and text without having a plan.
Just a thought!

Sussex Police records showed the number of burglaries in Crawley was predicted to rise for the fourth year in a row.
A Freedom of Information request revealed 718 burglaries were reported in the town - an average of more than two per day - from April 2013 to February 2014.
Police released the monthly breakdown of burglaries reported in Crawley from 2009 to February 2014 on Tuesday (April 1).
If the rate was to continue in March, the total for 2013/14 will have risen by more than 20 per cent from 2009/10 when 650 burglaries were reported in Crawley and mark the fourth consecutive annual rise in burglaries reported in the town since 2009.
Chief Inspector Justina Beeken, district commander for Crawley, said: "Burglaries are a priority for me on the district and I work closely with the intelligence unit, priority crime team and CID to investigate and locate, arrest and prosecute offenders. Burglary has remained relatively static since 2009 with only a small fluctuation in the reports, however we are not complacent and continue to tackle burglaries."

Mariners stun Rangers with late rally
Club scores three runs in ninth; Gutierrez's catch saves the day
By Todd Wills / Special to MLB.com
Probably so. But the way the Mariners won against the Rangers in Texas on a beautiful Saturday afternoon for baseball, it sure felt like a defining moment.
Staring a 1-5 record in the face, the Mariners picked themselves up and found a way Saturday, rallying from a two-run deficit in the top of the ninth inning for a 4-3 victory over the Rangers.
It took a manager pushing all the right buttons, a lineup that wasn't hitting with runners in scoring position to string together three clutch singles and a pulsating catch by their center fielder to finish off the comeback.
"This was a confidence builder," veteran Ken Griffey Jr. said. "It's always good when you get a confidence boost."
Start with the ninth-inning rally. Trailing, 3-1, Casey Kotchman began things with a single to center field off Rangers closer Frank Francisco, who isn't exactly pitching with the confidence of a Mariano Rivera. Kotchman's hit put Francisco on the brink.
Rob Johnson followed with a walk, which led to the first of many big decisions by manager Don Wakamatsu, who decided to have Jack Wilson bunt the runners over. The Mariners gave up the out, but moved the runners to second and third.
Ichiro Suzuki, who admitted after the game that he's not a big proponent of coming up after a sacrifice bunt, followed with a line-drive single to cut the lead to 3-2.
Wakamatsu then made another key, and rather tough, decision -- pinch-hitting Griffey for Chone Figgins, the Mariners' prized free-agent signing this past offseason. The manager said in his postgame interview it might be the one and only time he does it this season. Hitting Griffey proved the right call as the 40-year-old punched a single into center field to tie the game.
"It's not something I wanted to do," Wakamatsu said. "But it was the best situation at the time. It's no knock on Figgins. I can't say I'll do it again this season."
The rest of the game came down to the Mariners' budding superstar, center fielder Franklin Guttierez. With runners still at first and third and the game tied, Wakamatsu called for the safety squeeze. Darren O'Day, who had relieved Francisco by this time, threw a slider that Gutierrez couldn't get down and fouled off. O'Day followed with another slider, and Gutierrez, now swinging away, stroked it into left field for a 4-3 lead.
The game wasn't sealed there. Closer David Aardsma got the first out of the bottom of the ninth on a strikeout of pinch-hitter David Murphy. Then Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus got a line drive up into the jet stream that blows out to right-center field, and it looked like the ball was headed over the fence.
That's when Gutierrez, who has made a habit of making the spectacular catch, swooped in to take away a home run from Andrus. Aardsma quickly got the third out to end the game.
"If he doesn't make that catch, it's a tie game," Aardsma said. "We needed a win, and he pretty much saved it."
Don't forget this was a Felix Hernandez start, and with Cliff Lee out into the first week of May, the Mariners are banking on wins from Hernandez more than ever.
Hernandez was cruising along into the bottom of the fifth with a 1-0 lead when he allowed a leadoff single to Joaquin Arias. Then Hernandez hit Rangers catcher Taylor Teagarden, who was hitless for the season coming into the at-bat with six strikeouts. The inning unraveled from there.
After a sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third, the Rangers' Julio Borbon hit a ground ball up the middle. Second baseman Figgins came home with the throw and threw it past catcher Johnson to the screen. Not only did Arias score, but so did Teagarden with the go-ahead run.
The Mariners struggled with runners in scoring position again. Suzuki came up in run-producing chances in the second and fourth innings and was unable to produce both times.
Ichiro did find the magic in the top of the ninth, and so did Griffey and Gutierrez.
And with that, the Mariners left the ballpark late Saturday afternoon feeling like a revived team.

Maybe I got too confident in my skining abilities .... I just skinned my second rattler (trying to get the whole snakes out of my wife's freezer before she puts me in with them,LOL!)Anyways this one was a larger snake than the first and by the time I had gotten to the fleshing part the inside of the head had completely dried out and is very brittle. I don't think I did anything differently than the first other than it took me a little longer. Do you just rehydrate the head? It's in the freezer now, but I thought it was strange, any advice?
Return to Reptile Taxidermy Category Menu
Rehydrating by lightly spraying the head with a mist bottle. If you get it too wet, it may start to slip its outer epidermal layer due wetness. You could pickle it according to Evelyns instructions that way it will rehydrate without the cahnce of slippage
to freeze these skins for mounting later? Like I said I'm trying to get the "whole" snakes out of the freezer so I am skinning them and then will mount when I can. The process that I'm using after the skinning is just borax during and after the fleshing process, then I am lightly misting the skins and putting them in a freezer zip lock bag folded and placed back in the freezer. Thanks for the reply Tom.

Why do
this problem
This problem
is a familar context involving perimeters and squares that requires careful analysis. There are opportunities to experiment but a need to think ahead.
Possible approach
Arrange four large squares into a $2 \times 2$ array. Colour the edges - counting from $1$ to $8$ as you go along.
Rearrange the four squares to enable you to colour the edges in a different colour (without repeat and counting $1$ to $8$ again).
Arrange nine large squares into a $3 \times 3$ array and colour the edges - counting from $1$ to $12$ this time.
the nine squares in a haphazard way to enable you to colour the edges in a different colour (counting $1$ to $12$).
"I wonder whether we might be able to colour the edge in a third colour?"
the nine squares again and "discover" that you are not going to be able to do it - at least not on this occasion.
"Does this mean we cannot do it?"
"What went wrong?"
"Does this mean it is impossible?"
Look out for responses that develop the idea that you need to be able to draw $12$ lines and there are $12$ "blank" edges. However, not all of these are on the edge of the new array.
"So it feels like it should be possible with a bit more thought".
Hand out sets of paper squares to pairs of students and challenge them to complete the task successfully.
When any pair is successful challenge them to repeat the task:
"Well done. Would you be able to do this again without making any "false moves"?"
After the first colouring, can students position the squares for the second colouring knowing it will work for the third?
Move on to larger square arrays.
"Can we use more colours when we have $16$ squares?"
"How about with $25$ squares...?"
Key questions
Can you anticipate where certain squares will have to go in future rounds?
Possible extension
Can students do all three colourings without rearranging the squares?
Will it always be possible to add an extra colour as the squares get larger?
For a 3D version of this problem students could try
Inside Out
Possible support
Lots of paper squares so students do not have to worry about making mistakes.
A $4 \times 4$ array is probably easier.

I'm soooo glad I'm not the only one doing electronic ska! Thank you!!
I absolutely love the bass line. I really like all the changes in the song style as well.
My only complaint is it's missing the super catchy part of ska. Basically what the horns would play normally.
Overall, very nice sir! ;)

Rated 3 / 5 stars
not bad...not good...kinda leaning toward good...
I don't know theres just some parts of the song that just...don't work. Maybe it's the chord progressions you use or the bass or whatever crap is in there (you have alot of stuff going on in the song...which is a good thing :D). The beginning is kinda boring because you're only using like 3 chords for the synth and the bass is just playing something completely different so it didn't really fit. The middle of the song was good and sorta gave sort of a ghost chasey feel to it (if that makes sense). But it feels like you just jumped into the middle part. This would be okay if it were just like a movie or game scene but if you're writing this for listening purposes then I advise you bridge the two better. The ending sorta got really repetetive even with the occasional guitar string bend but you ended on a good note (ha! double pun >:D)Anyways what I would work on is making sure the bass lines feel more connected to the rest of the music. Also try being a little more variant in terms of what the music does. Other than that I don't know much about ska so in terms of musical style I'm not sure what to do but I hope you keep my comments in mind when you're writing your next song :)
The bass in ska songs is different then the guitars alot of times. In ska, the focus lies somewhat on the bass. But you are right. Maybe I could have used a different chord program. You were almost right btw. The beginning has 4 chords. (at the 4th time, you hear 2 different chords). At the end of the intro, the speed goes up from 125 bpm to 180 bpm. It was a little experiment I was trying. I Think it turned out ok, but I won't do that too often in the future. The point of the audioportal is to share music for games and movies. (right?) The music I put here, is here for people to use in their submissions. I could record my music with real guitars, but that would give a whole different atmosphere to the music. I must admit, the bass is rushed on some parts of the song. I am working alot on the variaty in my songs. My older songs had alot of repeating sequences. That's something I still need to work on. Thanks for the review and your time. It was very usefull to me.

Flower Box Awards: 28 East 2nd Street
On a very warm day this week,
I was strolling along a particularly stinky East Village block, when I came upon this oasis of plant life and color: the Big Cat Gallery. Right away, I knew I had found this week's winner. The gallery, which won the coveted "best music-conscious art gallery to freak out claustrophobics" award from The Village Voice, has proved, along with its neighbors, that you can even transform a grafitti-stained concrete lump into something special. Not only does it look beautiful - it smells better than any other part of the block. Bravo, Big Cat! SKGR

For fans of Tana French and The Silent Wife, The Last Winter of Dani Lancing is a chilling debut thriller hailed by Sophie Hannah as "brilliant" about one murder's devastating ripple effects.
Twenty years ago, college student Dani Lancing was kidnapped and brutally murdered. The killer was never found. Dani's family never found peace.
Thrust into an intense devastation that nearly destroys their marriage, Patty and Jim Lancing struggle to deal with their harrowing loss. Patty is fanatically obsessed with the cold case; consumed by every possible clue or suspect no matter how far-fetched, she goes to horrifying lengths to help clarify the past. Meanwhile, Jim has become a shell of his former self, broken down and haunted - sometimes literally - by his young daughter's death. Dani's childhood sweetheart, Tom, handles his own grief every day on the job - he's become a detective intent on solving murders of other young women, and hopes to one day close Dani's case himself.
Then everything changes when Tom finds a promising new lead. As lies and secrets are unearthed, the heartbreaking truth behind Dani's murder is finally revealed.
The Last Winter of Dani Lancing is a shockingly disturbing and deeply powerful debut, and P.D. Viner immediately joins the ranks of Tana French, A. S. A. Harrison, and Gillian Flynn.
©2013 P.D. Viner (P)2013 Random House Audio
"Brilliant! P. D. Viner's writing is audacious, clever and bold. I think he'll go far." (Sophie Hannah, author of The Wrong Mother)
"An exciting thriller that is also deeply moving. A hugely impressive debut." (Mark Billingham, author of Rush of Blood)
"Inventive, clever, and beautifully written. This novel of a single crime's ripple effects on the survivors is told with ingenious plotting and rich, true characters. A bold and impressive debut." (Ace Atkins, New York Times best-selling author of The Broken Places)
"Narration was over the top"
The screaming and crying of the narrators while other narrators were speaking was very distracting.
I enjoyed the story for the most part. However the narrators would wail or scream for endless minutes when their character was doing so. This was often distracting as they were doing so while other narrators were speaking. It also became too overwhelming and ear splitting at times as I often listen to my books with headphones. I frequently had to stop what I was doing and remove my headphones as the volume of the crying/screaming was louder than the speaking.
"Not worth my free credit"
I would be upset had I actually paid for this book but haven't wasted my credit was bad enough. Too convoluted, too many flashbacks, fantastical representations of human character and psychology: a bloodthirsty, deviate, psychopathic drug dealer would disembowel the main hero(policeman) in real life; instead he lets him go with free drugs to plant on somebody, teaches him how to administer drugs to somebody and make it look like they are a habitual user. Or, the conflict between mother and a 13 year old Dani is completely baseless. Or, why does she become an addict is not believable. Tom is the only person who could actually be believable as murderer because of his semi-developed, almost psychotic love for Dani. The novel is at best banal.
This is recorded more like a radio play than an audiobook. The multiple voices and sound effects are horrid, so bad it was unlistenable. So I can't fairly rate the story, because I couldn't make it past the first 45 minutes.
"Horrible performance"
I found it impossible to get to the end. The obtrusive, melodramatic performance made me cringe.
Just read the book and quash the sound effects and melodrama.
I can't say.
This was gut wrenchingly awful.

Hello. I always see some games from other systems such as arcade, playstation and such... I already know about roms and emulators but my question is.. Is there a way to take a ps1, ps2, ps3 or xbox game and clone it so it will burn onto dvd and work on the wii?
The Wii is too weak to handle PS2 ,PS3, or Xbox. As far as PS1, WiiSX can load images from DVD if your system can handle burned discs. But it won't be like a PlayStation in terms of loading...As in you can't just pop the disc in and have it load straight to the game.

TORONTO - Andrea Bargnani didnt really mind the added down time.
He was just coming off two intense months with the Italian national team and while the results werent necessarily what the country had hoped, it provided Bargnani with a place to play and get better.
Once the Eurobasket championship was over (the tournament didnt finish until Sept. 18, although the Italians were done after the round robin) instead of preparing to head back to North America for the NBA season Bargnani had some time on his hands.
Not knowing how long the lockout would last or whether there would be a season at all, it was imperative that Bargnani stay in shape so he made it his business to be on a basketball court every day.
It was finding a court in Rome that got on the Raptors power forwards nerves.
We had to find the right situation, Bargnani said. You dont want 100 people showing up and watching every work out. I started on the court that I grew up playing at (the crowds found him) and then another court and another. The bad part was the driving in Rome is tough. It took me an hour and a half just to get to practice and then another hour and a half to get back.
This helps explain why Bargnani is in Toronto so much earlier than his fellow teammates. Bargnani has been working out here for the past month.
I couldnt wait to get back here, he said.
While there was some talk that Bargnani was considering signing with a European pro team as the lockout wore on, Bargnani said that was all coming from someone else.
No, never, not even close, he said.
Its now a little more than two months after things should have started to get busy around the Air Canada Centre practice court. Bargnani was the sole Raptor getting in a workout Friday with Alex McKechnie, the Raptors new director of sports science who oversees all athletic training, rehabilitation and strength and conditioning for the club. By Saturday, Sunday at the latest, he should have plenty of company.
The solitude and having the gym to himself didnt seem to bother Bargnani at all.
No, Ive been working out by myself for a while now, he admitted. It doesnt feel strange at all.
Bargnani believes the extra rest after the European championships was a good thing for him.
That was two months of working out twice a day (leading into Eurobasket). It was really tough, he said.
The Eurobasket experience itself could turn out to be the perfect warm-up for Bargnani. The head coach of the Italian national team is Simone Pianigiani whose club team, Montespaschi Siena has been the class of Italy for the past half dozen years.
Pianigiani may not be a Dwayne Casey coaching clone, but to hear Bargnani tell it their philosophies are very close.
Siena is known for its defensive play, Bargnani said. They have won the past six championships in Italy because of its defence.
Bargnani has never played for Casey but he seems to know a season where defence is stressed awaits him and he says hes fine with that.
I think thats great, he said. Our biggest problems in the past were with defence. We dont have a problem scoring the basketball. Its going to be a great thing for all of us.
As for his own expected move back to his natural position of power forward, Bargnani said it was still too early to talk about it.
I dont know. Were still talking about possibilities, Bargnani said pointing out that the collective bargaining agreement still isnt signed off on. Its tough to talk now because we really dont know.
Im just very excited to start. Whatever it is going to be, its going to be, he said.
Opening night of the 2011-2012 NBA season just got a whole lot bigger.
Originally scheduled to include just three classic matchups, the league announced Friday that they have tacked on two more games to the Christmas Day schedule.
Beginning at noon with the Boston Celtics-New York Knicks tilt, NBA-starved fans can get their fill of more than 12 consecutive hours of basketball assuming Christmas dinner doesnt pull you away from the TV.
Following the Celts-Knicks matchup will be a rematch between last years NBA finalist Miami Heat and the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.
From there its on to Los Angeles where the Lakers and Kobe Bryant play host to Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls.
The two additions to the lineup have defending leading scorer Kevin Durant and his Oklahoma City Thunder entertaining Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic followed by a 10:30 (eastern) start featuring Blake Griffins Los Angeles Clippers travelling to Oakland to take on the Golden State Warriors.

As more Web comics make the jump to print collections, the question has always been whether readers would want to buy something they could get for free on the Internet. In the case of The Trial of Colonel Sweeto, the answer is a resounding yes. While the book won't be out until October 17, it's already one of the fastest selling graphic novels on Amazon, and publisher Dark Horse has had to up the print run to 36,000 to meet demand.
Sweetois the first print collection of Nicholas Gurewitch's The Perry Bible Fellowship, the quirky weekly comic strip that also runs in dozens of papers worldwide—including the Guardian in England—and recently won the 2007 Harvey Award for Best Online Comics. Many of the Amazon sales are due to Gurewitch himself driving readers to the site, but it's receiving attention from many different quarters. According to Dark Horse's v-p of new business development, Michael Martens, due to its wide exposure in England, the collection got the biggest order from Diamond UK Dark Horse has ever received.
Dark Horse has had previous successes getting several Web comics into print, including Fred Gallagher's Megatokyo, which later moved to DC, where it remains a bestseller. Dark Horse also has published four volumes of what is perhaps the best-known Web comic, Penny Arcade by Tycho and Gabe. Martens said sales on all four volumes have remained strong, with the first book already in its third printing.
In the case of The Perry Bible Fellowship, Martens said some people at Dark Horse were "scratching their heads" when the property was first suggested by editor Dave Land, but it soon became apparent that demand for the book was going to be high. Gurewitch worked closely with Dark Horse on designing the book, which is a full-color hardcover with a ribbon bookmark. Martens anticipates the high-quality edition will drive gift sales over the holidays.
In the past, Dark Horse has had several experiences with shortages of fast-selling books, including film tie-ins Hellboy, Sin City and 300. In these cases the books were printed in China, meaning a delay of weeks when reprints were ordered. With this in mind, Sweeto was printed domestically so that reorders can be swiftly distributed. This is a change Dark Horse is making on several of its hottest sellers, including the upcoming collection of Joss Whedon's Buffy Season 8.
Gurewitch reported that the strip's online traffic is still growing, but he expects to reach a new audience with the print version. "The book will reach a lot of new people. The loveliest people on earth don't surf the Internet."

..been sucked into "you gotta eat here" (canadian show) of late, quite lot like "man vs food" (US show) but without the stupidity/hype.
Don't get me wrong, they both show some amazing looking food, which is my point of this post.
Do we actually have anywhere in the UK, that does tasty (doesn't have to be healthy, neither of these shows do much in the way of healthy food) and 'original' food without costing a fortune (IE "the fat duck")?
I'm not talking about a good/great "chip shop" or "gourmet burger bar" but some-where that comes up with original ideas for the menu.
We have some very good restaurants and pubs locally, but it's always the same stuff.. steak & ale pie, sausage & mash, beer battered fish & chips, etc.... nothing 'original'. Even good takeaways simply sell exactly the same 'menu' as the rubbish takeaway....
Mentioned this to my g/f & she reckons it cause we accept crap too easily. Is she wrong? Are we all Maccy D addicts*, happy to accept mediocre rubbish food? Or are we too scared to try new stuff?
*Hey I actually like a Maccy D's, but maybe once a year
PS: If anything I cook more stuff at home now that ever, due to the "same old same old" stuff being served... Decided I need a smoker now!

Identity and Sex: Concurent Aspects of Gay Tourism
The present article aims to contribute to the recognition of two relevant aspects in gay travel; identity and sex. The paper explores the existing published work related to the relationships between tourism, gay men and identity. It concludes that the issue of identity commonly plays a crucial role as a travel reason in gay tourism. Also, it analyses the research evidence to suggest that sex is a frequently-present phenomenon in gay travel. By critically analysing the available research, the paper presents evidence to suggest that both aspects are relevant in the gay tourism spectrum.

Privacy Experts: Beware of the Inside Job
In the world of protecting your patients' private data, you need more than the fancy equipment, the best encryption software on the market, and firewalls galore.
Take, for instance, The Virginia Prescription Monitoring Program (VPMP). A computer hacker reportedly removed more than 8 million patient records and 35.5 million prescriptions from the state-run VPMP Web site last week and demanded $10 million to return the information.
What happened and how can your company protect against a future problem? Lou Nardo, vice president of product management for Netcordia, a network configuration and management solutions company in Annapolis, MD, that specializes in HIPAA compliance, says IT folks worry too much about firewalls and security products rather than internal processes and controls.
"This may not have been a hacker," Nardo says about the VPMP case. "This may have been internal."
Netcordia surveyed clients recently about internal systems and networks. More than 40% said they were worried about internal IT folks leaving a "back door" way into a system inappropriately.
A third said their greatest threat to network availability is from the outside, but 49% said from the inside, though inadvertently.
VPMP's greatest threat may not have been a hacker across the globe. It could have been the coworker in the next cubicle at the VPMP.
"A disgruntled employee. That's the classic case," says Kate Borten, CISSP, CISM, president of The Marblehead Group in Marblehead, MA, who specializes in HIPAA privacy and security. "The insiders know where your vulnerabilities are and where your assets are. Someone in the IT department could have done a bunch of things there. Set up bogus accounts, all kinds of things. It's pretty easy to do and get away with."
So how do you not let that happen?
Borten says you should make sure your internal database is buried deep inside your internal network with lots of firewalls behind it.
If the potential Virginia hackers "deleted the database, that shows some serious flaws," she said. "Leaving the database out front is a huge security mistake."
Naturally, if you encrypt the data well enough, "you're home free," Borten said. For Netcordia experts, it always comes back to internal processes.
Yama Habibzai, vice president of marketing for Netcordia, says facilities need to have systems in place that track who makes changes, when they were made, and why. And constant monitoring and auditing is key.
Also crucial, Borten says, is configuring a system that has strong protections in the "buffer zone," or the area between your internal network and the Internet.
"How we configure and manage that buffer zone is very critical," Borten says. "It's something we call hardening the server. You need to make sure you know how it's being set up."
In other words, to avoid a potential historic breach of patient privacy:
- Know your internal system.
- Monitor it.
- Audit it.
- Protect that database.

Interested in checking out how the consumer electronic industry is improving the green personality of their products? Greenpeace have just released (January) their 3rd survey on green electronics. They collected data from eighteen major consumer electronics companies including Lenovo, LG, Motorola, Fujitsu, HP, Sony and Dell with two notable companies declining to participate, Apple and Philips.
The products under the green microscope included netbook computers, desktops, laptops, mobile phones, smartphone's, LCD computer monitors, LCD and Plasma TV's, unfortunately data storage products were not in the mix.
To the casual observer green products are usually thought of as simply energy efficient products but the broader view taken by this survey included not just energy efficiency but the elimination of toxic substance, product lifecycle including how efficiently end-of–life disposal issues (ewaste) are managed, how products are marketed and the availability of innovate green features. A significantly more holistic view of product greenness than the criteria applied to previous surveys.
Summarizing the report, Greenpeace congratulated the electronics industry on making progress but in their opinion they still have a long way to go.
Main findings were:
1. Product Toxicity: Significant progress has been made in the elimination of hazardous materials which is just as well considering that the US is currently generating 3M tons of ewaste annually, China at 2.3M tons and India expected to increase it toxic ewaste by 500x between 2007 and 2017. How companies eliminate the product toxicity is certainly a legitimate measure of green.
2. Energy Efficiency. Companies have been focusing on the energy efficiency of their products. However reducing the embedded energy, the energy spent in their manufacture has not been effectively addressed.
3. Product Lifecycle: There is little use of recycled plastics and limited "take-back" policies. Fast obsolescence is still a fact; there is little marketing effort to increase useful product life.

A group of ranchers and scientists in California's Marin County have been investigating a potential method for sequestering carbon in soil through "a few simple changes" in ranching practices. The project, referred to as the Marin Carbon Project, involves not only the ranchers but also a rangeland ecologist, a UC Berkeley biogeochemist, and representatives of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Marin Organic, and the Marin Agricultural Land Trust.

Development Opportunity
South Garland Avenue represents one of the city's key commercial corridors - a gateway into the community from IH 635 and a historic arterial connection to downtown Dallas. The City's overall strategy is to diversify large infill sites (e.g., Hypermart and Garland Shopping Center) to transform the area into a viable employment and training center, taking advantage of regional transit access. New opportunities along this corridor will thus focus on redevelopment and revitalization.
Key Assets
Market Opportunity: Mid- to Long-Term
As shown, market potential within the South Garland Avenue Corridor Catalyst Area suggests support for a mix of residential (attached ownership and rental) and retail uses, perhaps within a vertical mixed-use environment. This Area represents a mid- to long-term (4 to 10 years) redevelopment opportunity.
Targeted Investment Areas

Wikis > Dictionary of Islam > Casting Lots
CASTING LOTS. Zalam, or casting lots by shooting arrows, was an ancient Arabic custom, which is forbidden by Muhammad in his Qur'an, Surah v. 4; but qur`ah or casting lots, in its ordinary sense, is not forbidden, for `Ayishah relates that when the Prophet went on a journey, he used to cast lots as to which wife he should take with him. (Mishkat Babu 'l-Qasam.)

An imaginative interactive play and learn programme is being offered at Crescent Link Community and Cultural Centre.
Beginning on February 4, the 10-week course is designed to enhance the playing and learning experience for both parent and child, as well as encouraging mental and physical stimulation among little people.
The course will run once a week on a Tuesday, beginning on February 4 with four feeks of Jo Jingles play and interactive learning.
The second phase of the structured learning and play group is arts and crafts, which will also run as a four-week sub-programme, and the 10-week course will end with a two-week session of horticulture. The art and horticulture aspect of programme is being facilitated through Newpin, while the Jo Jingles aspect of the course is primarily about movement, dance and co-ordination to music with Jo. It is being run with funding from the Neighbourhood Health Improvement Project.
"There has been a high demand for Jo Jingles in the past, and in deciding to run this course it was a good chance to introduce a programme where children and their parents got an opportunity to take part in a programme and learn together. It is the first time we have run a course like this rather than the child going into supervised play while the parents or guardians are studying," said community co-ordinator Linda Watson.
The course is for infants aged three months up to toddlers of three years of age, and it is essential that parents interested in taking part register, as there are a limited number of places.
"If there is a good uptake and the course is a success, or if we get a list then we will look at securing more funding to run it again," said Linda

Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith: 'I want to play till I'm 45'
At age 34, Keith still is logging more than 25 minutes per game — and that's fine with him.
At age 34, Keith still is logging more than 25 minutes per game — and that's fine with him.
Forward's direct style has made him one of the Hawks' most effective players.
Pressure at the blue line and a willingness to block shots has helped Hawks have a top-5 PK unit.
Despite the massive gap in experience, Crawford leans on his new backup goalie to help make him better.
Blackhawks extend win streak over Penguins to eight games.
Playing on his off side for the first time in his career hasn't been nearly as "awkward" as Murphy feared.
After two first-round exits, Blackhawks are taking nothing for granted this season.
Veteran defenseman had one of his best games despite playing more than five minutes less than usual.
MB Ice Arena includes two sheets of ice and room to work out and train off the ice.
Have you ever wanted Jonathan Toews face on your toast? Well, now is your chance.
DeBrincat's goal came after the Hawks had failed on four power-play opportunities.
The current drought is similar to last season, when he scored six goals in the first six games, then went 17 games without a goal.
While Hartman wants to be more physical, coach Joel Quenneville is looking for Hartman to use his skill as well — and stay out of the penalty box.
Elevating Alex DeBrincat, recalling Vinnie Hinostroza could help the Blackhawks get back on track.
The Hawks scored four of the first five goals and led 4-2 after 20 minutes but faltered badly and slipped back to .500 at 8-8-2.

Add Heading HereAfter our acclimatization hike on Nevado de Toluca,on our third day in Mexico we start to drive from Toluca to Amecameca,our next stop for Izta(Iztaccihuatl).
After we arrived in Amecameca,found our hotel,hotel San Carlos,famous hotel for climbers and started to look for fuel and stove in the city,was a hard job,at the end we just bought a regular fuel that found in superstore.After few hours our friend Shane from Vancouver,arrived at the hotel,so we went out to find some good food and sort out the gear for our next climb.
The next day we met a guy from Toronto that was climbing solo,and was also planning to go for Izta the same day,so we decided to give him a ride to Paso de Cortes.
After few hours we took our permits for Izta,the information centre is very close to hotel San Carlos and start our drive to Paso de Cortes,a very steep road.At Paso de Cortes we saw some incredible views of all big peaks,and there we paid our park entrance,for 3 days was 81 pesos per person.
Afer we got everything we started to drive on the off-road to La Joya,it took us around 20 minutes.
At La Joya there were few cars,and a group of climbers that just started their climb.
We went for a small hike up,and made some food before making our camp spots near the car.
We sorted our gear for the climb,made some food and went early to bed.
Next morning,3:15 the alarm clock is on,so in 30 minutes we start our climb to Izta.Cold,windy,steep and loos terrain from the hut,was horrible.But then we had some great views of some lava coming out of Popo,and a great sunrise with views of Orizaba,La Malinche,Popo.
After one hour we reached our first glacier,and started to feel the smell of Popo,then we took the wrong route,and end up on some steep terrain.
After another hour we reached the Ayoloco Glacier,and reached the ridge going to the summit,at that point I started to feel a small headache,but was gone after few minutes.After hours of going up and down at 5000m we finally reached the summit of Izta 5230m,everybody was exhausted,tired,sick,cold,we made fast a summit photo and started to go down.
After few hours of climbing down,and ending in some steep scrambling terrain we finally arrived at Los Cien hut and went to bed for 1 hour,and soon we started to pack our gear,garbage and get down to the car,because the gate is closing after 9 PM.
And here is a video of this climb:

I know ... I just told Morris I'm always thinking when I'm out there.... Will this make a good puzzle..
Pat, I have said the same thing over and over for years. Kelly's barn is a great example and Thursday, I finally did! And there are so many more waiting for us!
I decided one day that house would make a good puzzle... I have passed it for almost twenty years...thanks Jim
Thanks, Pat! Lovely old house. Thanks for stopping and taking the photo!

Houston Madison running back Courtney Lewis is back from his official visit to Texas A&M.
And he returns a Texas Aggie.
"I committed to A&M while I was up there," Lewis said.
Article Continues Below
"I liked their football program, the academics and how they treat their players."
Lewis, who is 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, helped lead Madison to its first ever state semifinal. He rushed for more than 1,400 yards and 22 touchdowns and also caught 30 passes for 12 more scores.
Lewis said he was recruited to A&M by Aggies assistant Buddy Wyatt.
Lewis also visited Arizona earlier this month and was thought to also be considering Houston before pledging to the Aggies earlier today.
