When worlds collide, there are usually negative repercussions (just ask "Independent George"). Thankfully for gamers, that rule of thumb doesn't apply to the realm of video games. Hence the savviest of mods can utilize games enabled with Forge mode to do things like bring worlds from their favorite games together. Such is the impressive feat that one player who goes by "Bearskopff" was able to achieve with the iconic castle from Super Mario 64 and the world of Halo 5: Guardians.
For those that don't know, Halo 5 allows followers to build their own maps through Forge mode. Exercising a keen eye for detail, Bearskopff was able to recreate the Super Mario 64 castle and make it into a playable map for Halo 5 gamers to use for multiplayer combat. Footage of the map has yet to surface, but there are some images of the gamer's work that will render you both nostalgic and amazed.
As great as the Super Mario-themed battleground may be, maps like it have the potential to get even better in the future. Halo 5 is a game that's constantly being serviced with new updates. In the future, some of the added items and tools could potentially make it even easier to have access to such a map.
Halo 5 is just one of several popular games to get a facelift from gamers this year. There have also been next-gen versions of GoldenEye 007 and Metal Gear Solid, the latter of which may actually have a small chance to make it to market.
Check out the gallery above for a few detailed images of the Super Mario 64 grounds revamped for Halo 5.[Game Rant/Imgur]

JetBlue is reshuffling its fleet, announcing plans for a big Airbus order as it cuts the number of smaller Embraer jets it wants.
Over the long run, JetBlue's moves will give it larger planes that burn less fuel per passenger.
JetBlue said it signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus for 40 A320neos, with deliveries expected to begin around 2017. The plane is a new-engine version of the widely used Airbus workhorse that competes with Boeing's 737. JetBlue said the new plane should be 15 percent more fuel-efficient than current models.
The A320neo has become Airbus' fastest selling aircraft, with over 400 orders and commitments since it was launched in December. Airbus aims to deliver the first one in late 2015.
JetBlue said it expects to spend roughly $2.5 billion on its order. List prices for those 40 planes would be roughly $3.6 billion, although discounts are common.
JetBlue is also pushing back deliveries of eight A320s by two to three years, to 2017. And it is converting 30 of its 52 previous A320 orders to A321s, a stretch version that will seat another 45 to 50 people. It said the larger plane will be a good fit with its Caribbean routes as well as flights between the East and West Coasts.
JetBlue will also use fewer of its 100-seat Embraer E190s than planned. As of the end of March it was flying 46 of them, with orders for 51 more. That would have totaled 97 planes. On Tuesday it said it will need no more than 75.
Ed Barnes, the airline's chief financial officer, said on a conference call that JetBlue is still figuring out what to do with the extra planes. Options include selling older ones, selling its spots in line with Embraer, or negotiating with the Brazil-based plane maker to get out of the firm order.
It also said it will add new winglets on its A320s beginning in 2013 that will extend their range because they make the plane more fuel-efficient.
JetBlue also said it is dropping its "all-you-can-jet" promotion, which allowed pass holders to take unlimited flights for a month in the fall. Last year the passes sold out quickly at $499 to $699. Instead it's offering previous pass-holders 30 percent off one round-trip this fall.
Shares of Forest Hills, N.Y.-based JetBlue Airways Corp. rose 14 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $6.14 in afternoon trading.

Answers from Carnivore Reviewer Henry H. Perrit, Jr. 203
1) Ethical question
by Devolver42
Is it fair for an individual or group with clear political ties to a system to give that system a review? In other words, how can you be unbiased while still being politically tied to the situation?
Members of the review team do not have "clear political ties" to the Carnivore "system." I was last employed by the Federal Government 24 years ago in an Administration of the opposite party. Dean Krent was last employed by the Federal Government in the Reagan Administration, and has spent more time suing the Justice Department than he has working for it.
The notion that past federal employment or consulting with federal agencies, no matter how remote their connection to a particular program, disqualifies one from undertaking an independent review is preposterous. Certain expertise in technology and the functioning of government agencies is prerequisite to a competent review of Carnivore.
2) Is a whitewash inevitable?
by Jay Maynard
There's been a lot of comment on how the conditions the DoJ has put on the reviewers make a fair review impossible. Things like the right to edit before release, the right to veto participants, and the need to only use cleared personnel cast a cloud over the impartiality of the process. Many prestigious institutions were invited to submit proposals,and yet only two - yours and one other lesser-known - did. The backgrounds of the people atIIT and their past ties with the DoJ don't give any more reason to be comfortable.
How do those of us concerned about Carnivore's immense power for invasion of privacy have any reason to believe what you and your institution produce will be other than a whitewash designed to make Carnivore appear in the most favorable light?
Carnivore is used in sensitive criminal and foreign intelligence investigations. The need for confidentiality in such investigations long has been recognized by the Congress and Supreme Court of the United States. It is not unreasonable for the Justice Department to assure that the details of confidential criminal investigations or of foreign intelligence methods and procedures will not disclosed to the public.
The existence of limitations on personnel and on disclosure do not suggest a "whitewash."
It is very unusual for a federal agency to acquiesce in a third party review of an important system. Having commissioned such a review, the interests of the Justice Department would not be served by censoring the review or otherwise acting so as to compromise its integrity and credibility. The review team, institutionally and personally, has an interest in preserving their reputations for professional independence, analytical competence, and candor. None of these interests are tied to future dealings with the Justice Department or the FBI. They are more closely tied to reputation in many of the communities which have been critical of Carnivore. It is counterintuitive to suppose that the review team would sacrifice these interests by undertaking a "whitewash."
3) Political or Technical Review?
by Anonymous Coward
Is the substance of this review to be political or technical?
To wit, is this review to determine if Carnivore performs actions that are within the scope of the law (political), or is it to define the complete potential of Carnvore (technical)?
The review will not be political in the sense that the term "politics" ordinarily is used. It will be technical in the sense that term is used in the RFP.
Because Carnivore is a tool, just as a hammer or a firearm is a tool, which conceivably could be used outside the limits permitted by law, the review appropriately will consider the operation of human, organizational, and judicial controls to limit Carnivore's use.
4) Your impressions.
by M-2
Can you give us your first impressions of the concept of the Carnivore concept when you initially heard about it?
Can you give us your initial feelings as to the legal standings under the Fourth Amendment that allows Carnivore to be used for the purposes stated, which it would appear technically violates the Electronic Communications Privacy Act?
What is your impression of the amount of interest the Internet community at large is taking in the entire Carnivore concept?
Do you feel there is too much paranoid fantasy going on, or do you feel there is some justification?
Any electronic surveillance involves balancing needs for effective enforcement of the criminal laws and protection of national security against threats of invasion of privacy. It is appropriate for the public to be concerned about how this balance is struck.
The Internet community appropriately has been concerned about technological developments that may affect the balance, including restrictions on encryption, development of new telecommunication systems that facilitate or hamper electronic eavesdropping and devices such as Carnivore.
In this respect, interest in Carnivore and a certain amount of controversy over it is healthy.
On the other hand, conspiracy theories suggesting that no one with present or past associations with the Federal Government shares constitutional values or can be trusted to review new systems for their compliance with the law are overblown.
5) Who would Carnivore Really Affect?
by drenehtsral
In the end a system like carnivore will only work for a while, and only against fairly unintelligent users because end-to-end strong encryption is no longer compuationally infeasable. Joe Schmoe with the middle of the road prebuilt gateway could easily handle the processor load of encrypting all his e-mail with 2048 bit RSA (which is now freely available, and even exportable). Not only that, but even with existing (and reasonably near-term) quantum computers, we are not even near enough qbits to start tackling these cyphers, since they can't be broken down when being fed to a quantum computer.
So in short, is this whole thing just a moot point? Who would Carnivore really catch?
Any electronic eavesdropping technique or system is subject to frustration by new technologies. It is appropriate for law enforcement and national security agencies constantly to be developing new technology to keep pace with technological developments generally.
6) Are you willing to lose everything for your rights
by anticypher
If you found that carnivore did more than the FBI is claiming, would you stand up to their threats if you published your results to counter their "edited" report? Would you be willing to lose everything you have to stand up for the rights of Americans, your property, your retirement, your liberty, and your professional reputation? You would be vilified and persecuted by the FBI for your actions, even though you would win the admiration of liberty loving individuals all over America.
Would you shrug your shoulders, and knowing that some day the truth will out, say nothing if the FBI completely changed your report, and hope that when exposed your reputation is not too badly tarnished?
Neither the Justice Department nor the review team has any interest in a process that will not report conclusions of the review honestly and candidly.
I have seen no indication of any intent by the Justice Department to block the review team from expressing its views completely.
Given the level of interest in the Carnivore review, it is unlikely that an effort by the FBI to "completely change" the review team's report would succeed.
I am not willing to speculate as to what action I would take if inappropriate control is exercised.
7) Is this a real review?
by Apuleius
Jeff Schiller of MIT has declined to review Carnivore, saying that "what they want is a rubber stamp."
Obviously, you will say you intend to do a genuine review.
Why should anyone take your word over Schiller's?
I don't know how Mr. Schiller has any knowledge of what the Justice Department wants. I have been assured by senior officials at the Justice Department that a complete review, with honest conclusions freely expressed, is desired.
It may be that what Mr. Schiller wants is a soapbox, and I don't see why he should use a government-funded review for that purpose.
8) Carnivore vs. Sniffer vs. Altivore
by RobertGraham
I'm the author of Altivore and a long time sniffer user. The RFP was for a "technical" review to validate that Carnivore captures only the data allowed by the court order. Yet reading the resumes of the members of your team, I don't see anybody with sufficient techical experience in sniffing technologies.
Packet reassembly and state-based protocol analysis are critical to the minimization function. My believe is that Carnivore is essentially stateless, just like my own Altivore. I can create real-world scenarios where Altivore fails the minimization test. Sure, they occur less than 1% of the time; I don't know how that fits within the law. However, software can be written to meet minimization requirements 100% of the time (e.g. BlackICE does this for detecting cr/hacking).
My question is: will a sniffing expert be analyzing the packet reassembly and protocol analysis part of the source code in order to validate that Carnivore captures all the data authorized by the court order, but no additional data? Moreover, is there really somebody on your team that understands even what I'm talking about?
A number of members of the review team are quite familiar with sniffing technology. Sniffers are routinely used as network management tools.
9) Comparing to wire-tapping laws
by VP
During the congressional hearing on Carnivore, the FBI stated that current wire-tapping laws are adequate for the use of Carnivore. Further more, they revealed that the uses so far of Carnivore had been according to the regulations of optaining a "pen-register" wire tap. Are you aware that (from what we know) technically Carnivore is much closer to the concept of trunk-tapping, as most, if not all the traffic at the ISP has to go through Carnivore? AFAIK, trunk-tapping is illegal - would you be of the opinion that Carnivore automatically falls under the same illegal category of wire-tapping?
Any network interface card on a networked computer "taps" all of the traffic traversing a particular network segment. It is far from clear that such limited acquisition of network packets at lower levels of the OSI stack constitutes interception under the law. Indeed, if appropriate filters are used in a sniffer or other network monitoring device, preventing human knowledge of material that is filtered out, there may be less threat to privacy interests than if human beings must review content in order to apply minimization requirements, as is commonplace with telephone wiretaps.
We will review whether Carnivore acquires information not permitted by law or in a manner prohibited by law.
10) Oversight of this interview
by Col. Klink (retired)
Are you free to answer questions posted here, or does the FBI review your answers first?
Neither the FBI nor any other government agency reviewed my answers to these questions.

1. Is there any other way to pull files from /data/data without rooting?
2. Can I just do a simple root and then later root with CWM or TWRP using another option?
3. I thought rooted was rooted, what is the need for "insecure boot"? Is that the only way to get a file image backup of my partitions?
4. None of the rooting options in the Skipsoft Android Toolkit wipe the device, correct?
5. Is the only way to be able to "recover" back to stock by installing a "custom recovery"?
All of the options include "custom recovery". What if I just want to root the device and install a custom recovery later? Or it custom recovery included in all the options so I can get back to stock if I mess up? Thanks!

"We had a big birthday party for my daddy when he turned seventy," writes Trisha Yearwood in her cookbook "Home Cooking With Trisha Yearwood. "He was a pretty humble guy and was embarrassed that so much attention was being focused on him, but he ultimately loved visiting with all of his friends, some he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Over two hundred friends and family signed the guest book that night; that's a testament to the man.I think of him when I make this cake because we served it that night. I miss my daddy, but there are always things to remind me of how much fun we had as a family."
Key Lime Cake
Serves 12
1 (3-ounce) package lime-flavored gelatin
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Key lime juice (from about 25 small Key limes or 4 large regular limes)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 (1-pound) box confectioners' sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir to mix well. Add the eggs, oil, orange juice, lemon juice, and vanilla. Divide the batter evenly among the 3 pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Test for doneness by lightly touching the tops of the layers or inserting a toothpick. Cool the layers in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto racks.
3. While the layers are still hot, mix the lime juice and confectioners' sugar and pour it over the layers on the racks. You can pierce the layers with a fork to allow the glaze to soak in better. Allow the layers to cool completely as you prepare the icing.
4. Cream the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and easy to spread. Spread the icing between the layers and on the top and sides of the cake. The cream cheese icing is optional.
Recipe notes: This cake is beautiful and tastes great with just the glaze poured over it. Key limes can be hard to find. Substitute regular lime juice for key lime juice without sacrificing flavor.
From Trisha's sister Beth: This is a very moist cake. It can also be baked in a 9 x 12 x 2-inch pan to be easily served in squares.
From Trisha's mother Gwen, who recently passed away: This recipe comes from family friend Angela Spivey. She uses whichever variety of lime is available in the local grocery.

Australia's aviation safety watchdog said Tuesday it was investigating after an Apple iPhone apparently began glowing red and emitting smoke after a flight to Sydney last week.
Australian carrier Regional Express (Rex) said a passenger's mobile "started emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow" after the plane touched down from the city of Lismore on Friday.
"We are investigating, it's quite early on in the investigation," a spokesman for the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau (ATSB) told AFP Tuesday.
"However, we do have the phone, it's in our custody, and we will be undertaking a technical examination of it.
"We will be interviewing directly involved parties and also in our technical examination of the phone we are going to be consulting with the manufacturer as well."
Regional Express said a flight attendant had extinguished the red glow in line with standard procedure and no-one had been injured in the incident which has also been reported to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
"The mobile phone in question appears to be an Apple iPhone," it said.
Apple, which has sold millions of iPhones around the world, said it was looking forward to working with investigators.
The ATSB spokesman was unable to say what model of the wildly successful Apple smartphone had prompted the investigation but said the probe was unusual.
"We have no previous records of iPhones undergoing spontaneous self-ignition," he said.
CASA spokesman Peter Gibson said one of the authority's engineers would attend when ATSB experts dismantled the phone. He also said he was unaware of any such incidents occurring before.

Timor-Leste: UNDP boosts electoral institutions' ability to ensure peaceful pollsJul 9, 2012
As Timorese went to the polls 7 July to vote in parliamentary elections it became clear that there has been a lot of progress in strengthening the country's electoral system in the past years. The recent parliamentary elections and the two rounds of presidential polls, earlier this year, took place with a reduced number of UN electoral staff: from 600 in 2007 to only 170 in 2012. National electoral bodies have been increasingly taking charge of the process, with more responsibilities.
The enhanced capacity of the Timorese electoral bodies to ensure smooth-running elections is greatly due to the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste's support. The joint project provided the national electoral management bodies with advice and training in electoral planning, legal matters, logistics, information technology, civic and voter education, public information, finance and management. The project is also training political parties and developing electoral resource centres in five key districts.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon congratulated the people, Government and political parties of Timor-Leste for the peaceful and orderly manner in which the country held parliamentary elections. Mr. Ban also commended the national authorities—especially the electoral institutions and the police forces—for maintaining a stable environment throughout the electoral process.
The UNDP Timorese Electoral Cycle Project is funded by Japan, Norway, Irish Aid, the Swedish International Development Agency and UNDP.
Final election results are expected late this week.

And the wonderful few weeks for musician biopics continues. Hot off Sam Cooke and Bobby Fuller inching closer, cult favorite Jeff Buckley, who also died young, is getting his own shot at big screen stardom. Director Jake Scott, probably best known for Welcome To The Rileys, will helm with Buckley's own mother stepping in as executive producer.
The still-untitled project will follow the singer's life in some capacity, though it's unclear whether Scott's work will also tackle Jeff's famous father Tim. He too died young, and a comprehensive biography of the two men written by David Browne has been optioned to help retool a script written by Ryan Jaffe.
Unlike most rock stars who perished early, Jeff Buckley died not from drugs or alcohol but from jumping in the water to take a swim on a seemingly calm day. His one completed album, Grace, eventually became one of the more talked about recordings ever released. Everyone seems to agree it's good but whether it's very good, great or one of the best ever is a serious point of contention. For whatever reason, most people not very into music have only a vague idea of Grace's existence. Those pretty into music seem to think it's phenomenal, and those obsessed with music seem to think it's been slightly overrated based on his early death. All agree he has one of the best voices ever recorded.
According to Deadline, all involved are hoping to get the Jeff Buckley biopic in production by the Fall. No word on who might play the singer, but with many actors also being ardent music fans, one could expect plenty will be clamoring for the lead. For some reason, I feel like James Franco would eat this project up, but I have absolutely no evidence to support this casting theory.

Today, there is a Q&A on mediabistro.com with Joe Posnanski, a senior editor at Sports Illustrated, columnist at The Kansas City Star, author and blogger. In addition to all his other jobs, Posnanski launched a blog called The Future of Newspapers, on which he obsesses about the future of the newspaper industry and where its all going.
While we were interested in Posnanski's juggling of his many different roles, we were more intrigued by what he had to say about the future of the industry where he's worked for years:
"I love newspapers, and even as I've gone on to work at Sports Illustrated, I still write for the Star because of the great people there and because I would like to be part of the fight. I don't like when people get all pompous about journalism and when they start talking about how without [newspapers] there's no democracy or anything like that. That sort of thing really bugs me. But, that said, I think newspapers have been such a part of communities for so long, and I don't really see anything else that can do that or is willing to do that. I was hoping that we could create a conversation of what the newspaper can look like in the future.
'Newspaper' as a word could very well become as outdated as 'album' is when we talk about music. It doesn't have to be paper to be a newspaper in my mind. When I think of newspaper, I think of something that gives you local news, local sports, the weather, all of these things that matter to us in our daily lives. It's something that can give it to you in a one-stop shopping sort of way. I believe that people want that. I don't think that the demand for that has gone down at all. I know that newspaper people in general like to beat themselves up about not keeping up with the times, and there's no doubt some of that is true, but the big problem has been on the advertising side and on the circulation side of newspapers. The technology has changed, and because of that, the business model of newspapers is broken.
Just from the sports perspective, people in Kansas City don't want to read any less about the Kansas City Royals, the Kansas City Chiefs, their local high schools, and Kansas-Missouri or Kansas State. They want to read more. They want more now than ever before. The demand is so high, why can't we make this work? I think that we can, and I think we will. It's just going to take a few breakthroughs in technology to figure out how to do it."

The computation of Greeks with multilevel Monte Carlo
We study the use of the multilevel Monte Carlo technique in the context of the calculation of Greeks. The pathwise sensitivity analysis differentiates the path evolution and reduces the payoff's smoothness. This leads to new challenges: the inapplicability of pathwise sensitivities to non-Lipschitz payoffs often makes the use of naive algorithms impossible. These challenges can be addressed in three different ways: payoff smoothing using conditional expectations of the payoff before maturity; approximating the previous technique with path splitting for the final timestep; using of a hybrid combination of pathwise sensitivity and the Likelihood Ratio Method. We investigate the strengths and weaknesses of these alternatives in different multilevel Monte Carlo settings.

My family have just moved from Melbourne to Bristol. We've all got terrible coughs and colds. I'm playing a bunch of festivals including Latitude and Wilderness, so I'm away a lot on the weekends. When I'm back in Bristol, I'll be sitting at home, listening to music and looking after the children.
My music is primitive pop. I always try to write a catchy tune, but I love that ancient sound of exotic jazz in the minor key. They call it jungle music. And old 20s and 30s calypso. Rounder Records put out a couple of albums: Calypso Breakaway and Fall Of Man. I've played them to a lot of musicians and they've become quite obsessed.
I'm a uniform type of person. For years I wore a black suit after reading William Faulkner's Sanctuary. The baddie was a really good character – a guy called Popeye who wears black suits. But after a while I thought, I've got to get something I can put in the washing machine. With my Jungle Blues record, I've gone more tropical. Now I'm always in white cotton with a bow tie. I've stolen the look off Hawaiian musicians from the 20s.
I've always liked tattoos. I have a shipwreck on my back, based on my shipwreck in Africa. I was in Trinidad and I met a couple of American scientists who let me come for a ride on their boat. The boat rolled on to a reef off the coast of Gabon and I had to paddle to shore with my banjo. It ruined my banjo.

- " It's a good set up and amazing location, but the showers were either all cold or all hot. When I tried to follow their instructions, I got warm water for about 20 seconds before it went cold. It would be good to have more assistance with setting up day trips too. Also, there's just one toilet for several dorms. I was sick and needed the toilet a lot and it was hard to ensure I was stressful to think of people waiting on me to finish. However, it was clean. "

ITM's Looking Local: HAHA Industries, Sydney
"We're a Sydney-based crew with a hankering to deliver you quality music nights left-of-centre," write the HAHA party people, and that pretty well sums it up. HAHA has been bringing good times to Sydney dancefloors for several years now, with resident DJs Dean Dixon and Dave Fernandes – otherwise known as D&D – holding it down.
The crew's focus is often on the home team, with Sydney treasures alongside interstaters, and the venues-of-choice avoid the obvious. When an international is called in, they're of the calibre of Juan Atkins, Deetron, Hunee, Tim Sweeney and Vince Watson, to name-check just a few. This weekend, the dancing is happening at HAHA's occasional home of Marrickville Bowling Club, with Basic Soul Unit in control. For this edition of Looking Local, we delve a little deeper into the party where 'stranger things have happened'.
First up, can you tell us a bit about the HAHA crew and how the parties were born?
Dean: Well, there are four of us that run HAHA now: Al, Dave, Helena and myself. But it all began when Al and Jonno, who's now back in the UK, were living in this terrace house in Surry Hills with a couple other people. I'd met Jonno down in Melbourne where I was living and I was basically in transition between here and there and was crashing on a mattress in their hallway upstairs at the time!
The idea popped up somehow to throw a house party to get all their friends together and that and the party that followed was one hell of a kicker. The one that followed that was even bigger. I mean, the entire house was packed, the front yard, the backyard – there were people even standing on the stairs between the floors just to have a place to stand inside the house!
Anyhow, they were much bigger than we'd ever anticipated. And that seemed to upset the boys in blue, as well as the landlord, and so we were left with either not having any more parties or taking the parties elsewhere. And they were really good times with so many of our friends DJing and partying together. So we searched around for a similarly homely venue and stumbled upon the Abercrombie Hotel and ended up putting on parties there for about three years. Which was a monthly operation of loading stacks of vintage TVs, turntables and speaker stacks in and out of the venue. The crazy things we do!
Joubert Singers- Stand On The Word (Larry Levan Mix). "A great 5 a.m. closing tune. Works a treat! The track really makes people come together and celebrate the moments that are created each night on the dancefloor." [Picked by Helena.]
Dave: Since then we've entered into the realm of hosting and touring internationals, taking on artists we feel need to be seen and heard here in Australia and even getting involved with organisations to hold events for like the Sydney Fringe Festival in September.
Helena: We're passionate about the way we do things, staying to the left side of the spectrum…pricking up dancers' ears with new and old, classic and obscure. We believe that music moves people, soothes the soul, brings people together, alike and different, brings peace, and creates a strong sense of community.
Being able to provide people with an outlet to let go, dance to the music and forget about who is watching or judging, is something we aim to create. We are here to support other musicians and entities that we believe have the same aspirations. None of it was ever really planned; it just all happened….and seems to keep on happening!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: bakedjake
Battery time is not an issue because it will plugged into the power socket 90 percent of the time. Both the laptops have identical features - fitted with GeForce 4 graphics cards :)
My dealer is seriously discouraging me from buying a laptop with the desktop processor (2.4 GHz). He reckons that the processor will overheat and cause freezes/crash etc.
Is there any truth in what the dealer is saying? Should I go for the mobile P4 processor running at lower GHz, as recommended by the dealer? Both the laptops have similar pricing.
Last Xmas, I bought the new version of the same computer. Mine has the mobile processor. It's like night and day. Not only is the desktop version more problematic, the bottom of the laptop gets so hot, you can't really work with it in your lap.
I just don't like the idea of losing out on 600 MHz of processing power.. I would love to hear anybody who has had good experiences with a desktop processor on a laptop.
One more question -
Is the performance of a mobile P4 processor equal to a desktop P4 processor running at the same clock speed?
Somehow it is actually not as hot as my old toshiba, which used to feel like it would burn my lap. I've been sitting here for about an hour and it's only a little warm...so little I don't notice it at all. I would think it would get hot, but it doesn't. They might not all be this way, but mine is. I should say the the room I'm in is generally cool, so if your room is warm it might be a little worse.
Even the fan, which some have complained is loud, doesn't bother me. It is a little loud when it comes on, but the sound is more bearable than my old toshiba.
The screen size and power is just awesome. I can safely say I will never own another desktop after this.
The only negative I can see is the weight. I don't really take it out of the house, so it doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't want to do any real traveling with this thing...10lbs gets heavy fast.
I have read some good user reviews of Toshiba laptops at CNET.
The Toshiba laptops I have seen have a good set of speakers (especially Harman Kardon speakers on 2430 series). Other brand speakers sound like tin cans. So Toshiba it will be - I am not sure about the model.
This is my second toshiba, and they seem really good to me. The last one my wife dropped on the pavement. It hit hard and the dvd player tray was ripped right out of it. I picked it up and literally crammed the tray back in.
It would never stay shut, but it worked fine so I brought out the trusty Duct Tape and it's been working fine for over 2 years. I just replace the tape when I load some new software :)
If you aren't going to tote it, then why get a laptop at all. Get a desktop machine.
With a desktop...
- I can't work from the couch
- I can't use it at the pool
- I can't sit on the deck
- I can't move to the kitchen and chat while dinners being cooked
- I can't bring it to work every now and then
I'd say if you can afford a laptop with a big screen and plenty of power, why would ever want to be tied to the desk?
Ever since my first laptop I've used it for 100% of my work. 90% of which I do on the couch in front of the tube with a beer in hand.
Depending on your needs you may require a desktop, but I can tell you for sure that I will never buy one again.
You are incorrect in this statement. You cannot compare a mobile processor laptop to a desktop processor laptop. There is not a 600 MHz difference. In fact, the mobile processor might even be faster depending on the applications you are running.
If you are multitasking, the mobile processor will handle things better. The desktop processor does not handle major multitasks simultaneously well. When running major, multiple applications, the desktop processor will generate heat (because its processing a lot of data). To compensate and reduce this heat buildup, the desktop processor actually slows down. So, your 2.5 gig processor is now sub 2.0 processing because of the heat buildup.
I'm sure if you were to reasearch desktop vs. mobile laptops on the internet, you will find some benchmarks and performance evaluations.
Battery life has no meaning to me. Even 2 hours is not long enough. I'm either plugged in or not using a computer.

At Marygrove, we are a lot of things.

In a word, we are diverse — women and men of all ages with various cultural, ethnic and political backgrounds. But what brings us together is one clear mission: As a forward-thinking, independent Catholic liberal arts college, we want you to become a competent, compassionate, and committed leader.
"There's something miraculous about Marygrove."
Step on the campus and you'll feel it. It gets into you, makes you want to grow, makes you want to take charge of your life. We think it's the legacy and spirit of our founders, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who have blazed trails and fought hard for what they believed in since 1845.

The subprime mortgage crisis isn't the only calamity Wall Street created that's upending the finances of U.S. states and cities.
For more than a decade, banks and insurance companies convinced governments and nonprofits that financial engineering would lower interest rates on bonds sold for public projects such as roads, bridges and schools. That failed promise has cost more than $4 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, as hundreds of borrowers from the Bay Area Toll Authority in Oakland, California, to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, quietly paid Wall Street to end agreements since 2008.
California's water resources department this year spent $305 million unwinding interest-rate bets that backfired, handing over the money to banks led by New York-based Morgan Stanley. North Carolina paid $59.8 million in August, enough to cover the annual salaries of about 1,400 full-time state employees. Reading, Pennsylvania, which sought protection in the state's fiscally distressed communities program, got caught on the wrong end of the deals, costing it $21 million, equal to more than a year's worth of real-estate taxes.

Slovak Republic-2013 Article IV Consultation: Concluding Statement of the IMF Mission
June 4, 2013
Describes the preliminary findings of IMF staff at the conclusion of certain missions (official staff visits, in most cases to member countries). Missions are undertaken as part of regular (usually annual) consultations under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement, in the context of a request to use IMF resources (borrow from the IMF), as part of discussions of staff monitored programs, and as part of other staff reviews of economic developments.
The strong growth the Slovak Republic has enjoyed in recent years is slowing as the external environment weakens and domestic demand remains subdued. Policies should focus on identifying high quality measures to achieve remaining fiscal adjustment needs, stepping up efforts to tackle high unemployment, ensuring continued strength in the financial sector, and enhancing the business climate.
1. Growth is expected to slow significantly in 2013. The Slovak Republic—among Europe's most dynamic economies in recent years, largely due to sizeable foreign investment in the auto sector that led to rising exports—registered 2 percent growth in 2012. External risks are materializing, however, with weaker demand expected from trading partners, especially in Europe. This, coupled with still anemic domestic demand, leads to a growth forecast of 0.6 percent for 2013.
2. Risks are tilted to the downside. The baseline scenario assumes a pick-up in activity in key export markets including Germany later in 2013 and into 2014. If weakness in Europe is deeper or more prolonged than expected, this could reduce export demand and contribute to uncertainty holding back investment. Domestic demand is expected to recover in 2014, but will remain restrained for some time due to ongoing fiscal adjustment as well as very high unemployment. Growth is expected to recover to about 2 percent in 2014 and 3–3½ percent over the medium-term. Slovakia's integration into international supply chains has brought great opportunities, but can also amplify risks from trade shocks, underscoring the importance of promoting new sources of growth and export diversification over the medium term.
Charting a high-quality fiscal adjustment path
3. Further progress on fiscal adjustment is needed. Slovakia has demonstrated its strong commitment to sustainable public finances by reducing its fiscal deficit substantially since 2009, reaching 4.3 percent of GDP in 2012. This commitment was recently reaffirmed in the country's Stability Program. Important structural reforms have been implemented, such as those that strengthen the pension fund's finances, but other sources of revenue or savings have been temporary or had undesirable side-effects (e.g., lower use of EU funds reduces co-financing costs but delays potentially valuable projects). Slovakia's public debt is manageable (52 percent of GDP in 2012 on a gross basis, including contributions to support other euro area members and a healthy level of cash balances) and favorable financing conditions have allowed it to borrow at historically low rates while extending the average maturity of its obligations. To prevent debt from continuing to rise, however, substantial additional adjustment measures will be needed for a number of years. Action is also necessary if Slovakia is to avoid economically harmful effects from crossing a debt threshold (currently defined in terms of gross debt under its fiscal responsibility act) and to comply with targets agreed at the European Union level.
4. The 2013 fiscal deficit target is achievable, but automatic stabilizers should be allowed to operate if risks to growth materialize. The 2013 budget and some additional steps taken so far should deliver a fiscal deficit a little over 3 percent of GDP, factoring in the lower growth now forecast. There are risks to this scenario, including the possibility of still weaker growth or difficulties in achieving public sector wage reductions or savings from local governments, on which the state's influence is limited. But the government's strong commitment and readiness to take additional measures that would have little macroeconomic impact suggest the target can be met. Should growth disappoint such that additional action would be needed to meet the target, the mission recommends instead letting automatic stabilizers operate (e.g., lower tax revenue and higher benefits outlays) to avoid a further drag on output when growth is weakest.
5. Given still sizeable fiscal adjustment needs, efforts should focus now on identifying high-quality fiscal measures. A little over 2 percent of GDP in additional permanent fiscal adjustment measures will be required over 2014–16 with about 1 percent thereafter to help ensure medium-term debt sustainability, and in light of EU rules and domestic debt brakes that would mandate a sharp move to balance the budget. Some of the fiscal adjustment needs stem from past budgets relying on temporary or one-off policy changes. Efforts to identify high-quality and durable revenue and savings measures should be accelerated and deepened. In particular, the staff team encourages: (i) improved efficiency in VAT collections to narrow the gap compared to other European countries, and stands ready to provide analysis in this regard; (ii) a real estate tax based on market-based property values; and (iii) more efficient spending, particularly related to health outlays, procurement, public administration (where efforts are underway), and social benefits (where targeting could be improved). Early action in these areas is important to allow time to design and implement specific measures. Swift implementation of the authorities' plan to fight tax evasion would provide further support. The 20 percent VAT rate now in place should be maintained (current law would reduce it after the deficit falls below 3 percent of GDP) to avoid adding to fiscal adjustment burdens.
6. Pension reforms have strengthened long-term finances. Changes, including a gradual increase in retirement ages and adjustments to indexation, have improved the long-term sustainability of the pension system substantially, especially in light of demographic challenges in coming decades. Some future gaps remain, however, and consideration could be given to further steps such as moving to a higher retirement age somewhat more quickly.
7. Creation of the Council for Budget Responsibility is welcome. The council's good analysis and emphasis on the government's overall financial position can help underpin sound policies and the development of high-quality fiscal measures.
Ensuring continued financial stability
8. Slovakia's prudent approach has contributed to a sound banking system, and could be reinforced as European banking union efforts proceed. Due to a largely deposit-funded system and high capital requirements, Slovakia's banking system is strong, although subdued lending and a bank levy have led to lower profitability. While non-performing loans are relatively low and well-provisioned, tax policies could be modified to reduce delays in loan write-offs and potentially support additional lending. The size of the banking system has facilitated close supervision (and risks are low), but this approach could usefully be enhanced with a more developed framework for early intervention and if needed, resolution, in line with expected changes as part of a European banking union. The resources of the Deposit Protection Fund also might be strengthened. Implementation of a banking union would reinforce the importance of good cooperation among supervisory authorities.
9. Bank taxes have risen at a time when the operating environment is weak and credit to firms is declining. The staff team encouraged a lowering of the bank levy, which will decrease over time but is nonetheless high compared with others in Europe, and noted that the planned financial transactions tax could impose additional burdens on financial intermediation. In principle and keeping in mind potential changes at the European level, revenues from the bank levy could be allocated to a more well-defined special resolution fund, perhaps under the umbrella of the Deposit Protection Fund. Consideration of how EU and other funds could be used to enhance the availability of credit to small businesses and innovative firms is welcome.
Addressing high unemployment and bolstering competitiveness
10. More effective education, training, and support for those out-of-work are essential to lower very high joblessness. With unemployment above 14 percent, and much higher for youth, the long-term unemployed, and those in the eastern part of the country, boosting employment should be a top priority. Government initiatives to link curriculums more closely to employer needs, pilot a "dual-system" approach so that students also gain hands-on experience, and improve education for marginalized groups are welcome, but implementation and funding will be key. Similarly, efforts to strengthen active labor market policies (ALMPs) and target support to youth and the long-term unemployed move in the right direction, and should be pursued vigorously and tailored based on outcomes. Funding for ALMPs, which has been low compared to peers, should be a priority even amidst budget consolidation, and the increase in the 2013 budget is welcome. Effective use of EU Funds will be especially important in these areas. While keeping in mind fiscal constraints, steps to address the high tax wedge on labor, which hits low-wage workers especially hard, could also help, as would steps to promote labor mobility such as easing access to rental housing and better transportation infrastructure.
11. Enhancing worker skills and infrastructure stand out as priority areas for sustaining the competitiveness that has supported strong export growth. In addition to the education and training priorities outlined above, improved infrastructure and especially highway links to the eastern part of the country will help keep Slovakia attractive to investors and could facilitate hiring of those now unemployed in the east. While acknowledging efforts underway to streamline administrative burdens for businesses, the staff team also encouraged steps to achieve a more stable, open, and predictable business climate with respect to labor regulations, the legal environment, and procurement practices.
The staff team would like to thank the authorities and other counterparts for their warm hospitality, candor and close cooperation.

One Week Without Plastic (Part 1)
Feb 22nd, 2010 by sherri
As the global conflict for resources heats up, the Internet is just another battleground.
Last weekend I watched a terrific documentary about the bottled water industry called "Tapped." The second half of the movie is an intensive look at the plastic bottle manufacturing industry, and the enormous damage that these petroleum-based products cause to our environment (ie. the Great Pacific Garbage Patch). Many plastic bottles and containers also leech hazardous chemicals, such as bisphenol A, into food.
With this in mind, I've decided to try a little experiment: To go one week without purchasing, or throwing away, anything made of plastic. Since plastic is a centerpoint of conflict, it seems fair to ask the question, "Can we live without it?" After all, if everyone on the planet stopped buying plastic, big companies would stop producing it, and a lot of environmental damage and conflict over access to natural resources would be avoided.
Normally on Philosecurity we focus on information security threats, but information security is of course just a part of the larger problem of global security. You can't separate information security from social, economic or environmental factors. For example, one reason so many companies are suffering from intellectual property theft due to the "insider threat" is because employees are underpaid, mistreated and have no economic or social incentive to act in their employers' best interest.
As our world's environment degrades, the fights over clean water and life-sustaining resources will become increasingly violent and brutal. Over the next decades, as the global population becomes desperate for access to essential resources, corporations will have to work harder to defend their physical and network infrastructures from attack. On the flip side, social network data mining and surveillance efforts will heat up, as companies work to identify and splinter resistance groups (see, for example, Monsanto's "army of private investigators" who intimidate and conduct surveillance operations against small farmers throughout the Midwest. (Vanity Fair, 2008)
The goal is simple, but executing it is very hard. Today I started planning and preparing for one week without consuming plastic. Stay tuned for more details!

Seismological Research Letters
- © 2008 by the Seismological Society of America
The active tectonics of New Zealand are dominated by three main features (figure 1). Beneath the North Island there is active subduction of the Hikurangi trough where the Pacific plate is undergoing oblique subduction beneath the Australian plate at ∼ 45 mm/yr (e.g., Demets et al. 1990; Demets et al. 1994). The Hikurangi trough extends from the Kermadec trench in the north and terminates in the upper South Island. Large subduction zone earthquakes of around Mw 8.0 in the lower North Island and around Mw 6.9 farther north are expected (Reyners 1998). Slow slip events have also been observed on the Hikurangi subduction interface (e.g., Wallace and Beavan 2006) similar to those documented at other Pacific Rim subduction margins (e.g., Dragert et al. 2001; Obara et al. 2004; Larson et al. 2004). A number of dextral strike-slip faults are also present throughout the North Island and the upper South Island and have produced a number of M 6.0–7.5 earthquakes in the past century (Doser and Webb 2003). The Wellington region is cut by five active dextral faults that have average recurrence intervals of meter-scale surface rupture that range from ∼ 500 to 5,000 years (Van Dissen and Berryman 1996). The Wairarapa fault is the only one of these to have ruptured in historic times, in 1855, in an event estimated at Mw 8.2 (Darby and Beanland 1992).

More questions than answers in medical study
Re "Study: Cranberry pills, acupuncture among effective preventive treatments for urinary tract infections" (Jan. 12):
Readers of the article about the new study regarding urinary infection prevention from L.A. BioMed should beware. The danger is just reading the (online) headline, or doing a cursory read and missing the point that there are more caveats than usable conclusions.
The author basically admits as much. This study was not original research, randomizing patients into several treatment regimens, then analyzing differences. This was a "meta-analysis" study, which combined the results of separate studies done elsewhere, in the past.
The conclusions are of limited value, especially if the original studies had small numbers of patients or were not well-designed. The emergence of resistant bacteria, in the urinary tract and elsewhere, is not just a problem at university centers, but here in the South Bay.
The indications for taking daily antibiotics are few, and the benefit of "cranberry pills" may be the glass of water that accompanies them.

Gov. Brown's budget fails to address key issues
Re "Brown keeps discipline in his budget plan" (Editorial, Jan. 10):
The Daily Breeze editorial claimed that Gov. Jerry Brown's new budget is sensible, disciplined and not austere. Brown wants to funnel funds from the cap-and-trade program to the bullet train. He should shut down both, encouraging businesses to thrive and farmers to produce.
California hosts one-third of the country's welfare cases. Where are the welfare-to-work programs to end these debilitating programs? Brown plans to divert more funds to public education. How about school choice so that schools compete for students and tax dollars, and raise quality without more revenue?
He should reform the collective-bargaining entitlements for public sector unions, whose negotiated benefits are driving much of our state's debt.
As for creating jobs and increasing revenue, Brown should approve fracking and oil drilling in our state.
With a multibillion-dollar wall of debt driven by pension liabilities, an overburdened prison system, and progressive tax scheme for revenue, Brown's budget is all bust.
— Arthur Christopher Schaper, Torrance
Why isn't CHP enforcing speed limits on bridge?
Re "Driver killed in collision on Vincent Thomas Bridge" (Jan. 5):
I am sure everyone will agree that the death on the Vincent Thomas Bridge was a horrible tragedy, and those who survived will live with it for the rest of their lives. And no matter who is found at fault, the true perpetrator is the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP is assigned the task of keeping our highways safe, and if you have ever driven that section of roadway, you will agree the department is failing at its job. The speed limit in that area is 45 miles per hour. But if you do not drive a minimum of 60 mph, you will be run over by not only other cars but semi-trucks, too.
Once the Long Beach city line is reached, the Long Beach police do an excellent job keeping the speed down. But head onto the Long Beach Freeway, otherwise known as Harbor truck route, and again the CHP fails. The speed limit is 55 mph, but do not go below 65 mph or again the cars or semi-trucks will run you over. Where are our CHP officers?
— Barry R. Smith, San Pedro
