[NEWS] 141231 Kim Jae Joong Transforms into Genius Secret Agent in 'Spy' + Drama Stills
JYJ's Kim Jae Joong Transforms into Genius Secret Agent in 'Spy'
JYJ's Kim Jae Joong has been caught planning an intelligence operation in a dark alley.
On KBS 2TV's Spy set to begin on January 9, Kim Jae Joong will be acting as the genius agent 'Sun Woo,' who highly values principles. He is cool headed when it comes to work but is a good son to his mother Hyerim (Bae Jong Ok) and a romantic boyfriend to Yoon Jin (Ko Sung Hee).
The filming for Kim Jae Joong's first mission took place on December 21 in an undisclosed alleyway in Incheon. Although the filming began early in the morning, Kim Jae Joong arrived at the set smiling brightly and greeted the staff members, warming up the atmosphere.
This day's filming was mostly made of the scenes using Chinese. Keeping the scripts in his hands at all times, Kim Jae Joong reportedly pulled off the scenes in Chinese without any NG's, receiving praise.
The production team stated, "Although the filming got extended longer than we expected in the minus degree weather, Kim Jae Joong showed good acting by focusing on his emotions without showing any signs of being tired or cold," and added, "The entire cast and staff members have been working hard until late nights for a good project. Please show a lot of anticipation for the new family intelligence drama Spy."
Meanwhile, Spy is based on the popular Israeli drama MICE about a mother who risks her life in gambling in order to save her son and the son who finds out about his mother's hidden past. It will air two episodes in a row every Friday from 9:30 to 11:10 p.m. (KST).

Stills from KBS Drama "Spy" Continue to Show "Common Mother and Son" Bae Jong Ok and Kim Jaejoong
The newly-released stills from the upcoming KBS drama "Spy" featured the program's main characters played by Bae Jong Ok and Kim Jaejoong.
The still photos released continue to show the "common mother and son" image of the characters that Bae Jong Ok and Kim Jaejoong play. Just like common people who attend their graduation ceremonies, Kim Jaejoong is wearing a toga while his on-screen mother, Bae Jong Ok, brings him flowers to congratulate him. The two show a warm mother and son feel.
In the family espionage drama, Bae Jong Ok and Kim Jaejoong play the mother and son who aren't as common as they seem to be. Bae Jong Ok plays the role of Hye Rim, an ex-spy mother from North Korea, while Kim Jaejoong plays the role of her son Seon Woo, a genius analyst who works for the National Intelligence Service.
"Spy" is based on the Israeli drama "The Gordin Cell." It tells the story of an ex-spy mother (Bae Jong Ok) who will do anything to protect her son Seon Woo (Kim Jaejoong) who works for the National Intelligence Service. It will be a new hybrid drama, mixing the usual family drama genre with spy thriller elements.
"Spy" airs its two-episode premiere on January 9, 2015 from 9:30 p.m. until 11:10 p.m. (KST).

There are a few problems with this mod.
1. You'd Basically killed 3/4 of the wifi antennae, regardless of what you may think, you're killing the sensitivity of reception, and now probably using more 'juice' to maintain the integrity of the connection.
2. The part that you've broken/cut off is what held the battery firmly against the 4 power contacts. A nice jolt could 'shut off' your device and may cause data corruption (its possible).
Gotcha. Now I see it. Didn't realize the antenna extends across the battery cover. Thanks for the clarification.
Hmm, I'm thinking I can make an antenna using aluminum foil.
I received my Evo 3D battery today and it does indeed fit and works great. Fit is bit tight since the Evo 3D battery is a bit thicker (which actually works since the battery won't be moving around at all.) My TPU case fits w/ slight buldge. Nothing too noticeable and certainly liveable.
We'll see how the OEM HTC 1750mAh battery does vs. stock 1230mAh.

quickest question: where can I find the list of park hours and about early/late magic hours
also when do they post OCt / 06 hours?
Here are two links about park hours. They usually post park hours 6 months in advance on wdwinfo.com, so Oct. 06 hours should be coming out the first part of April. Hope this helps !
always check against Disney version - Disney has been known to change the hours in the last couple of weeks

Oil Minister said that this technology will help in providing cleaner power in the urban areas
GAIL(India) and US-based Bloom Energy signed a pact on Monday to bring natural gas-based fuel cell technology in India. The technology would generate electricity with lower emission levels.
Speaking on the occasion, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said he would soon send a proposal to Lok Sabha Speaker to do a pilot project in Parliament building where human and other biowaste would be converted into gas or fuel.
The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology of Bloom Energy Servers convert fuel into electricity using natural gas. The gas is used as the base fuel to generate reliable and resilient power.
This generated power in a highly efficient non-combustible process that reduces emissions of greenhouse gas and harmful air pollutants, with minimal use of water.
The Bloom Energy Servers could be installed onsite at any operating premises or building and can be plugged into natural gas pipeline to generate uninterrupted, efficient, noise-less power round-the-clock.
GAIL's subsidiary at Bengaluru is already supplying natural gas for energising a multi-MW Bloom Energy project for a large global technology company at the Technology Park. The minister said that this technology will help in providing cleaner power in the urban areas.

The Nigerian government has been unable to trace any of its officials responsible for introducing about 45,000 ghost workers into the government's payroll that cost the nation over N100 billion, the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has said.
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said this in Abuja on Thursday during a media briefing on the 2013 budget.
Her colleague, Yerima Ngama, the Minister of State for Finance, had said last month that the federal government discovered over 45,000 ghost workers on its payroll after auditing 153,019 government workers.
The audit was executed in January on 215 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs, of the Federal Government.
"What we have done so far, we have covered 215 MDAs and we have discovered 45,000 ghost workers and that has reduced the total bill by about N100 billion,'' Mr. Ngama said.
A month after Mr. Ngama made the statement, no official has been held responsible for the fraud.
Unable to catch fraudsters
While responding to a PREMIUM TIMES enquiry during the media briefing, the finance minister said the government was still trying to identify the culprits.
"We haven't caught anybody. I can't tell you that today we have one person yet," Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said. "But, it is something that is exercising our minds that if we are getting this, we must try to trace how some of these things are entering. If we don't, they may enter again."
The Minister appealed to journalists and Nigerians to suggest ways of identifying the officials responsible for the fraud.
"It's something we have been thinking about how to get to. So, if you have any ideas of how people do this, please share with us. We are open to information," Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said.
She said the government was baffled about how the names of the ghost workers always manage to get into the pay systems of the MDAs.
"It may be a little difficult to identify who has actually put the names of the ghost workers in the system," Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said. "We (federal government) cannot verify the details of the person, because there is no biometric information. What is obvious is that there is someone there who is not real. But how their names got into the system, from which MDA (ministry, department or agency) they came is a little more difficult to trace."
The minister said the federal government "hears stories of certain officers in the ministries slotting in names for themselves."
"But how to ascertain that is something that is not very easy. What we have been asking ourselves is: How do we figure out who put in those names, so that they can be dealt with? It is a task that government has," she said.
She explained that the government was working with some forensic auditors to find ways of resolving the problem; adding that periodic forensic audits and checks would continue to rid the system of the ghost workers.

The Vasa Museum
Over a million visitors
Over a million visitors each year can't be wrong. The warship's inglorious fate – sinking on its maiden voyage – almost 400 years ago leaves nobody unmoved. It's impressive to see what good condition the ship is in, to hear its fascinating story and to learn about the harsh life on board a warship at that time.
The Vasa was built at a Stockholm shipyard as the mightiest naval vessel of her time, with two cannon decks carrying 64 cannon. On the day of the maiden voyage – Sunday, 10 August 1628 – spectators gathered along the shoreline to watch the spectacle. The sails were hoisted and the salute fired, but just a couple of minutes later the Vasa started listing. She managed to write herself but soon began capsizing once more. The pride of Sweden sank beneath the waves after sailing no more than 1300 metres.
The warship Vasa was salvaged in 1961, having spent 333 years on the seabed. A temporary building made of corrugated sheeting was quickly erected to protect the ship in its new location in Södra Djurgården, and that's where the Vasa lay on its bobbing pontoon for 27 years. The foundations for the current building were laid in November 1987 and the museum was officially opened on 15 June 1990.
The architects for the sensational new museum building were Marianne Dahlbäck and Göran Månsson. In addition to the striking copper roof, the outside of the building is clad in glulam panels painted in blue, pitch black, Falu red, ochre and dark green. The colours on the outside are repeated inside, painted on wood panels and directly onto concrete. Large sections of the walls and the whole ceiling have been kept in bare concrete.
The Vasa Museum is a museum that attracts all ages. Don't miss the film about the Vasa, which is shown daily every half an hour. There is a large museum shop and restaurant, as well as picnic tables for those with their own supplies.
The building is part of our shared cultural heritage. The National Property Board Sweden looks after it, but it is the museum that keeps the building alive. Information on exhibitions and activities can be found on the museum's website.

text: The terrible tragedy that occurred on September 11 will live long in everyone's memory. The implications will be far reaching and at this stage it is not known what reprisals will result. With so many losing their lives the implications on vessels calling at U.S. ports seems rather trivial in comparison. Nevertheless merchant shipping was affected. The LOOP terminal was closed for a while and entry to certain ports was restricted or delayed. The Association will keep in close contact with the U.S. Coast Guard and advise our members of any additional security or other procedures implemented in the wake of the terrorist attacks. The world's insurance markets are most likely affected by the massive claims that will be made on insurance and re-insurance policies. In London the War Risks Rating Committee met on September 12 to assess the implications. INTERTANKO's Insurance Committee, which meets on October 4 will, of course, be discussing this matter. At this stage the extent of the claims and the implications can only be a matter of speculation. INTERTANKO's legal team remains at hand to respond to any requests from members and associate members for advice on the charterparty implications for members' vessels affected by this tragedy. Given the great diversity of charter party provisions we will not generalize on what the affects of delay suffered by vessels will have on owners rights/liabilities in either a voyage or time charter context.

Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part series about the ways budget airlines and changing tourism trends are affecting communities in Britain and abroad.
MAGALUF, Spain — There's drunk, there's very drunk, and then there's British-tourist-in-Magaluf drunk.
With its scorching sunshine and alcohol shots cheaper than bus tickets, this beach town on the Spanish island of Mallorca lures budget partiers from Ireland to Russia.
But no nation deploys armies of visitors to Magaluf as large or committed to debauchery as the UK.
The town feels like a sun-baked colony settled by Blighty's most intoxicated. British waitresses serve British tourists in bars with names like the Prince William Pub and Eastenders Bar. Beachfront restaurants advertise PG Tips tea with "English milk" and hangover-soothing fried English breakfasts.
Club fliers promote parties with appearances by C-list celebrities (White Dee of the reality show "Benefit Street," "The Only Way Is Essex" cast, a bevy of topless tabloid Page-3 girls) whose name recognition largely ends at the British coastline.
More in the series: Sex, booze and wizards: 12 hours in Magaluf
The local authorities have long overlooked tourist excesses for the sake of boosting the number of visitors.
But one recent wild night on the main drag of Punta Ballena has prompted international headlines, official condemnation and questions about what it means when tourism gets out of control.
Last month, a video hit the internet of a pub-crawling British teenager performing oral sex on 24 men in a Magaluf bar in exchange for a free drink.
In the two and a half minute cell phone video, a giggling young blond woman races around a crowded club, briefly sucking what the Times newspaper columnist Caitlin Moran described as two dozen "non-erect, rather alarmed-looking penises."
Some reports claim the 18-year-old was told she would win a "holiday," only to be handed a cocktail of the same name; others that she received a whole bottle of alcohol for her efforts. (The distinction may be relevant only if you believe there's such thing as a fair blow job/booze exchange rate.)
Pub-crawl organizer Carnage Magaluf, whose employee took the video, fanned the outrage by refusing to apologize.
"All you need to do is look at the video and you can see she clearly isn't drunk and knows what she is doin [sic]," the British-owned company tweeted. "We are not responsible for the girls actions. The girl and her 8 friends bought tickets for the next BARCRAWL as they said it was AMAZING!"
"Magaluf Girl," as she became known, made headlines from New York to Australia, with most stories casting the party town as a dangerously hedonistic playground.
The region's mayor issued a statement expressing "total rejection and anger" at the video's antics. Carnage Magaluf and the bar in which the clip was filmed were ordered to close for 12 months and jointly fined $74,000.
Spain's tourism minister followed by announcing a $1-million PR campaign in Spain and the UK to clean up Magaluf's image.
"Our commitment to promote our beautiful region to the UK remains as strong as ever," said Calvia Mayor Manuel Onieva. "It is such a shame that an irresponsible act by one rogue operator is threatening to undo our hard work."
Pinning Magaluf's troubles on a single operator may be a bit misleading, however.
Such tourist destinations are complicated ecosystems, travel experts say. As places served by low-cost travel providers explode in popularity, it becomes increasingly difficult for anyone to manage their image.
"Magaluf is the extreme of tourism," says Jeremy Smith, a London-based writer and consultant on responsible tourism. "Your average destination is not as bad as that."
"But if everything happens on a continuum, sometimes it's helpful to look at the extremes to see where things end up. This is what happens when you let it go amok."
Magaluf was a popular destination for British tourists even before the dawn of low-cost, no-frills air travel. Package-tour companies ferried visitors from the UK to Mallorca's beaches on chartered airplanes starting in the 1970s and 1980s.
But it was the rise of low-cost carriers such as RyanAir and EasyJet in the late 1990s that really changed the game, putting international travel squarely within the reach of middle- and working-class people.
Palma de Mallorca Airport now receives flights from England's East Midlands, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle, alongside planes from Tel Aviv and Madrid.
Magaluf draws young tourists from across Europe looking for a good time on a budget.
But there's one matter the town's resident population agrees on, from the tattoo artists to hotel concierges and the sunglass hawkers on the beach: The British are the loudest, drunkest and craziest visitors by far.
The German newspaper Bild recently published a cartoon of stereotypical UK tourists in Mallorca: a sunburned, tattooed, proudly drunken pair suffering from what the paper called "Prince Harry syndrome" (the sudden desire to strip nude when intoxicated).
In July, the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office released its annual report on British behavior abroad.
Although it isn't the most-visited country by Brits — France claims that title — Spain topped the list for the greatest number of British tourist deaths, hospitalizations, arrests, drug arrests, rapes and every other problem the consulate deals with.
But going wild on vacation is hardly a 21st-century phenomenon.
Nineteenth-century Britons went to the English seaside resort of Brighton for fun that couldn't be had in Victorian London, or to Paris for the really taboo stuff, says John Swarbrooke, a professor of tourism at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Social media, however, has broken the centuries-old convention that what happens abroad stays abroad. Now proof of holiday indiscretions can be blasted around the world in seconds, carrying possibly major consequences for the people and places involved.
Magaluf Girl's identity leaked within days. An online flogging followed. A friend of her deeply religious Northern Ireland family told reporters her parents had forgiven her for having "dropped her Godly protection for a moment."
The two dozen men who stood around with their genitals out of their pants in exchange for three seconds with a stranger's mouth have remained anonymous, however.
Ten years ago, Magaluf Girl might have remained no more than an apocryphal legend among seasonal workers, totally under the radars of families searching the web for vacation spots.
Today, she's Google's first hit for "Magaluf." That makes marketing beyond the party crowd a little tricky.
Of course Magaluf is hardly the only place in the world where tourists have gone wild.
Goa in India, Vang Vieng in Laos and any number of Thailand's beaches have also grappled with tension between those who think tourist misbehavior should be stopped and those making good money from it.
"It's been hard for destinations to manage their own destinies, to an extent," Swarbrooke says. "If you say 'now Magaluf is going to become a family destination,' it would be 10 years before anyone would believe you. And in those 10 years, you'd have empty hotels, empty restaurants."
That's why scandals like Magaluf Girl tend to generate a lot of official finger-wagging but very little change.
More in the series: The British towns that Easyjet killed
"While everybody wrings their hands about how awful it is, a lot of people are making a lot of money," Swarbrooke says.
On Magaluf's neon-lit streets, the British kids who staff the bars and clubs say the recent scandal has been great for business.
"I'm loving all this press. I think it will bring more people," says Ricky, 18, a wood machinist from Coventry who spends the summer nights in a blue vest trying to bring tourists into an England-themed bar.
Magaluf Girl isn't the wildest person to hit the strip anyway, the club touts say. She just happened to get caught on film.

Episode #33: Best Practices for Continuous Integration and Delivery
Continuous Delivery Requires New Approaches to Security
As companies embrace the DevOps movement, they rely heavily on automation to improve the time to market for new features and services. DevOps is a long, never-ending journey with a goal of continuously improving the software delivery process, resulting in better products and services and, ultimately, happier customers. At the beginning of their DevOps journies, many companies focus on continuous integration (CI), in which they automate the build... Read More
DevOps: Stop Talking and Start Doing
If you are like me, you are probably tired of the endless articles talking about DevOps. Each day, you are guaranteed to see an onslaught of articles on the following topics: What Is DevOps? DevOps Is a Culture Change DevOps Requires Empathy DevOps Unicorns, or All Unicorns Started Out as Horses Buy My DevOps Tools (from many vendors) The Wall between Dev and Ops. Enough, already. We get the point. Can we shift the conversation from talking... Read More
Agile Transformation Success Story at Valpak
As a consultant, I have witnessed numerous organizations struggle with implementing agile. Agile fail patterns is a topic I have written about often (here, here, and here). Every now and then, I stumble across a company that is having great success with agile. One of the best success stories I have ever seen is from Valpak, out of St. Petersburg, Florida. Since they are right in my back yard, I was able to visit with them in person. Check out... Read More
Talking Immutable Infrastructure with Codeship
Yesterday I had a chat with the folks at Codeship, a continuous integration and continuous deployment platform. The topic of immutable infrastructure came up and was intriguing to me, so I thought I would write about it. So what is immutable infrastructure? Check out my post at The Virtualization Practice to read find... Read More
Barriers for DevOps Adoption
It is important to note what the barriers are that prevent companies from embracing the DevOps movement. In my latest post on The Virtualization Practice I describe some of the barriers and mitigation strategies for... Read More
Agile with Ops is Not Really Agile
Many companies use some flavor of an agile methodology today with mixed results. I have written about agile fail patterns in the past, but some companies do an excellent job of applying agile best practices yet still suffer from missed dates, botched deployments, and low quality. Why is that, you may ask? Because most agile methodologies only address the development side of the house and clearly ignore the operations side of the house. The two... Read More
Recap of PuppetConf 2013
I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend PuppetConf 2013. When I walked into the first keynote session, I was shocked by the size of the audience. Over 1300 people were packed into the ballroom. Another 3700 had signed up to watch the event streaming online. Last year there were 800 people at the conference and only 300 the year before. Obviously, both Puppet and DevOps are hot topics these days. See the full... Read More
Continuous Operations for Zero Downtime Deployments
Gartner defines continuous operations as "those characteristics of a data-processing system that reduce or eliminate the need for planned downtime, such as scheduled maintenance. One element of 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week operation". Continuous operations manages software and hardware changes in a way that is non-disruptive to the end users. Even though software and servers may be taken offline during planned maintenance, it is performed... Read More

Representations of Murderous Women in Literature, Theatre, Film, and Television. Examining the Patriarchal Presuppositions Behind the Treatment of Murderesses in Fiction and Reality
This collection examines the meaning, construction and deconstruction of the murdering woman. These essays suggest that the ways in which gender, race, class and sexuality play into representations of women murderers is key to understanding the patriarchal underpinnings of our judicial system as they apply to women criminals.

Why Does My Neck Ache for Months Now?
If your pain in the neck lasts for several weeks, it might be chronic neck pain. However, the cause of this condition can be as simple as stress or as complicated as TMJD. Here are some of the common causes of neck pain:
Pain Radiating Down the Arm
If your neck pain extends towards the arms, it may have been caused by a cervical herniated disc. This may include tingling or numbness in the hands, arms, or both.
This type of neck pain can be treated by non-surgical remedies such as physical therapy, medication or manipulations. If, however, the pain does not subside within 6-12 weeks, surgery may be recommended.
Pain Related to Activities and Positions
If your neck pain is due to certain activities or positions, it might be caused by cervical foraminal stenosis. Most of its symptoms are caused by the encroaching of a nerve root on one side.
The pain could can be caused by normal wear and tear or aging. As a person ages, there are some changes happening in the joints in the neck or at the margins of the discs. The doctor may diagnose this through a CT scan or an MRI.
This can be treated through medical care such as therapy, medicine or a fitness activity program. If this kind of pain brings the impairment of some functional parts of the body, then surgery to open up the disc will be recommended.
Pain Persisting for Several Months
If the neck pain lasts for several months, it could be caused by symptomatic cervical disc degeneration.
Cervical disc degeneration is a condition triggered by a fall or an injury that involves twisting of the disc space. This will then accumulate wear and tear on the disc.
After knowing some causes of chronic neck joint pain, you can now seek for the best treatment to reduce or totally cure your chronic neck joint pain:
Natural Treatments for Neck Pain
Apply Rosemary Oil
Rosemary oil is a great pain reliever. You can massage it on your neck on a daily basis. For better results, you can cover your neck with a scarf. This process will not only ease the pain, but it will also increase the blood flow. A scarf can also help you be conscious of your posture and neck alignment.
Chiropractic Session
A lot of medical centers highly recommend chiropractic sessions to treat neck pain. It's a natural way of treatment which also provides relaxation, not only to the neck but to the whole body, as well.
Peppermint Oil for Neck
Menthol is one of the best pain relievers. Peppermint oil has menthol that is why it is considered by many professionals as the best oil for neck pain.
Heat Massage
What's good with heat massage is that it can penetrate the muscle area. What you should do is cover a hot bottle with a towel. Lay it over your neck for a minute or so.

Peta Sweet reports
In a move understood to be a first at the Bar, James Hunt QC's chambers at One King's Bench Walk has introduced a regular "salary" scheme for members of chambers.
The scheme, devised in conjunction with the set's bankers, Coutts & Co, currently has 15 members signed up.
It allows for fixed monthly drawings based on each member's estimated earnings over the tax year, taking into account VAT and payments due to the Inland Revenue as well as chambers.
According to practice manager Peter Bennett, the scheme is likely to grow as further members of chambers sign up.
One King's Bench Walk has also announced its expansion after a move to new premises at 36 Bedford Row and the recruitment of six new tenants, bringing the total number of tenants to 48.
The move, which officially took place last Thursday, involved a £250,000 refurbishment project, doubling the chambers' floor space. It has also resulted in a substantially expanded library and new high-tech facilities.
At the same time, the set announced plans to expand its Northampton chambers together with plans to set up new chambers elsewhere on the circuit.
Hunt said: "The move is one of a range of measures taken by the chambers in a bid to shape the way in which barristers of the future will work, as market and other regulatory pressures mount on the Bar."
The new chambers, which will continue to be known as One King's Bench Walk, houses Meridian technology for managing chambers' resources, including real-time diaries linked to automated billing and collection, video-links with solicitors, email and the Clix hook up to court diaries.
"One King's Bench Walk is implementing a forward-looking and radical set of initiatives designed to ensure that it is well-placed to meet head on the challenges facing the Bar as it approaches the end of the century," said Hunt.
The move stems from the sets' innovative use of a limited company – One King's Bench Walk Ltd – to allow the acquisition of the premises without individual members of chambers being subject to personal guarantees. The company structure has also allowed the set to introduce a profit-related pay scheme for employees.

Ward's goal gives Capitals series win
Thu., April 26, 2012
NHL: Joel Ward slammed home a rebound at the 2:57 mark of overtime to give the visiting Capitals a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night as Washington advanced to the second round of the playoffs and ended the defending Stanley Cup champions' hopes of a repeat.
"When I saw the puck there, I just took a whack at it," Ward said. "It was a sense of relief, a great accomplishment."
Rookie Braden Holtby stopped 31 shots for Washington in Game 7 – the seventh one-goal game of the series. Matt Hendricks scored the Capitals' other goal.
Tyler Seguin scored, and Tim Thomas made 26 saves for Boston.
It was the first time in NHL history that a playoff series had seven games determined by one goal. Four of the games went into overtime.
Bulls move closer to No. 1 playoff seed
NBA: Kyle Korver scored 20 points to help the Chicago Bulls beat the Indiana Pacers 92-87 at Indianapolis and inch closer to the top overall seed in the NBA playoffs.
The Bulls ended the game needing just a win over Cleveland tonight or a loss by the San Antonio Spurs to clinch the league's top spot.
Carlos Boozer scored 16 points, and Joakim Noah had 14 points and 14 rebounds for Chicago.
• Bobcats' streak reaches 22: J.J. Redick had six 3-pointers and scored a career-high 31 points as Orlando sent Charlotte to its 22nd consecutive loss, 102-95 at Orlando, Fla.
The Bobcats (7-58) head into their season finale tonight needing to beat New York to avoid the worst winning percentage in NBA history.
• Harden cleared: Oklahoma City guard James Harden has been cleared to play after recovering from the concussion he suffered when the Los Angeles Lakers' Metta World Peace elbowed him in the back of the head.
World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, was suspended seven games for elbowing Harden. He'll miss the Lakers' regular-season finale tonight at Sacramento and then the start of the playoffs.
NBA commissioner David Stern said the elbow that World Peace used to give Harden a concussion was "recklessly thrown" and the Lakers forward's history absolutely weighed into the suspension.
Delany says BCS makes progress
COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany says BCS officials are narrowing the field of possible changes to college football's postseason and the Rose Bowl is not standing in the way of progress.
Delany has been meeting with his fellow commissioners, Notre Dame's athletic director and other college football officials working on overhauling the Bowl Championship Series.
Among the options being discussed Wednesday is a four-team playoff that could be held separate from the bowls.
Delany said there is "pretty high expectation that there's going to be change."
He also said he wants the group to proceed with caution.
"I just want to make sure that the changes that we make are evolutionary," he said. "That they support the regular season. That … from a Rose Bowl perspective, that they sustain that tradition."
Bayern Munich advances to final
MISCELLANY: Bayern Munich became the first team to advance to a Champions League final it is hosting, beating host Real Madrid 3-1 on penalty kicks as Bastian Schweinsteiger converted the final shot after Sergio Ramos skied his over the crossbar.
Bayern, a four-time champion of European soccer's top club tournament, reached the final for the second time in three seasons and will play Chelsea at Allianz Arena on May 19. Chelsea eliminated defending champion Barcelona on Tuesday.
• Bonderman hopes for comeback: Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Jeremy Bonderman of Pasco said he wants another shot at playing in the major leagues.
The 29-year-old Bonderman had elbow-ligament replacement surgery Tuesday to help him attempt to make a comeback next spring.
He hasn't pitched since 2010 when he was 8-10 and had a 5.53 ERA over 29 starts. His career record is 67-77 with a 4.89 ERA in 193 starts.

Patient Forum at 6th Australian Lung Cancer Conference provides a renewed optimism
Lung Foundation Australia hosted the 6th Australian Lung Cancer Conference in Melbourne from 18 – 20 August which brought together about 400 delegates nationally and internationally. As part of the conference, a Better Living with Lung Cancer Consumer Forum was held with 40 patients and carers travelling from across Australia to attend. The feeling in the room prior to the forum can be described as 'optimism' which isn't a word we commonly associate with lung cancer.
The opening presentation was given by Dr Marie Ftanou, a clinical psychologist from the Peter McCallum Cancer Centre who discussed the meaning of 'scanxiety' and the psychosocial challenges patients may face when living with lung cancer. Some of the strategies she shared on managing 'scanxiety' included: arrange scans near your appointment; live in the present; stay in the moment; practice visualisation, meditation and mindfulness; have compassion for yourself which can help reduce stress and can assist in changing your reaction to what you are about to face.
Claire Mulvihill, Lung Foundation Australia's Lung Cancer Support Nurse spoke about the physical symptoms of lung cancer including pain, breathlessness, cough and fatigue as well as managing the side effects. Dr Sue-Anne McLachlan, clinician and researcher at St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne presented on clinical trials and how they can be an integral part of a patient's treatment regime. A patient panel question and answer session concluded the forum which provided an opportunity for everyone to interact and share their stories about how they are currently living with lung cancer.
Patients felt the forum provided hope and unity and that there was a renewed optimism, a sense of belonging and the strength to move forward equipped with knowledge and new strategies to manage their disease. If you would like support or information about lung cancer, please contact our Lung Cancer Support Nurse freecall on 1800 654 301.

First time in SEA. This is a rough draft of an itinerary for my 6 days solo travel in Bangkok. A few things will need to actually be scheduled but most are just ideas that I have for things that I'd like to do. I'm not ever married to an itinerary but I'd rather have too many ideas of things to do rather than not enough.
*I am not familiar with the layout of the city so if I could get some assistance with organizing this itinerary better by location so that I can make the most of each day, that would be helpful.
Day 1 - Sunday - Staying at Shanghai Mansion (Samphantawong)
Khao San Road
CentralWorld Mall or Terminal 21 mall
Art in Paradise Bangkok
Whisgars - Bar
Cheap Charlie's (Soi 11 Road) - Bar
*The first day is intentionally light as I will be just arriving and adjusting to the time difference and jet lag. I'm thinking this would be a good market/shopping/bar day. Any specific recommendations for markets/shopping?
Day 2 - Monday - Staying at Shanghai Mansion (Samphantawong)
Wat Pho (Sleeping Buddha)
Massage School
Grand Palace + Wat Phra Kaew (Emerald Buddha)
Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
Golden Mount
King Rama IX Park
*This is a day for me to walk around and see temples and sights. However, if it would be better to see some of these on different days based on the location, please let me know.
Day 3 - Tuesday - Staying at Chatrium Riverside Hotel Bangkok (Bangkholame)
Elephants (Elephant's World in Kanchanaburi)
See a movie @ Paragon Cineplex
Benjakiti Park OR Benjasiri Park
*I really want to have some sort of interaction with elephants while in Thailand. I read up on Elephant's World and it interests me specifically because it is a nonprofit. That being said, if there is a closer option than Kanchanaburi I might be interested in that to save travel time.
Day 4 - Wednesday - Staying at Chatrium Riverside Hotel Bangkok (Bangkholame)
Co Van Kessel Bike and Boat Tour
Lumpini Park
Bang Krajao
Midnight Food Tour (http://bangkokfoodtours.com/tours/)
Day 5 - Thursday - Staying at Chatrium Riverside Hotel Bangkok (Bangkholame)
Cooking Class (http://chefleez.com/reservation/ or http://www.cookingwithpoo.com/cooking-classes OR http://www.sompongthaicookingschool.com/course_thursday.html)
Jim Thompson House
Suan Pakkad Palace Museum
Day 6 - Friday
*I have a late flight (9PM) and so I have the whole day to still fill up. Any suggestions of things I can do on this last full day?

The Nancy Chandler map Guenmai refers to above can give you a good idea of whee things are in relation to each other. Do note that is is NOT to scale.
Some ideas for you consider:
The Prasart Museum is wonderful. It is a private museum and you must reserve in advance. You will need a taxi driver who knows where it is.
Massage/spa There are lots of spas in Bangkok, one of our favorites is at FACE. Go to facebars.com and see the menu. We also love the Thai restaurant there.
I'd actively avoid the elephant places around Bangkok. Indeed, most of the elephant camps badly abuse the elephants. If you're about elephants, don't go. The one place I do recommend in in the Chiang Mai Area: Elephant Nature Park.
Shopping? Anything you wan to shop for in Bangkok? Lots of good deals to be had for the savvy shopper, pitfalls for the clueless.
Enjoy! Bangkok is my favorite city.
Report Abuse
Wow! Thanks for that website! That is really helpful!
Thanks also for the heads up about the Prasart Museum. I will definitely try to check that out.
I guess I will have to skip the elephants for this trip. I was originally planning on flying to Chiang Mai for a few days but I heard that March is terrible for the pollution and heat and was advised to skip it. Thoughts?
For shopping, of course I would be looking for Thai gifts for people. Hard to say what that would look like without seeing what is available. But I also am interested in getting some traditional men's clothes tailored for myself. Perhaps some light breezy pants to wear to temples. I would love some tips on where to go for great deals!

Light breezy pants = fisherman's trousers = practically anywhere.

Yes, the pollution in CM is terrible in March. Save the ENP for your next trip.

If you are there during a weekend then you want to visit the Weekend Market. It is a huge market and has all sorts of gift ideas. You can get there using the MRT as it puts you right inside the market.
Report Abuse
My flight lands in Bangkok on Sunday morning around 9 AM. And I leave Friday evening. Does anyone know what time the weekend market closes on Sunday? Does it open on Friday by any chance?
Report Abuse
It is open u til 6 pm. Not much is open on Fridays. Take cash, card not accepted. Make sure. To bargain with a smile. Protect your valuables as there may be pick pockets around. Take a roller bag as you will likely buy a lot of stuff. Take the Nancy Chandler map as the place is huge and you will get lost. Pay attention to where you enter the market from the MRT as you will need to find it when you are ready to leave. Bring bottled water as you will get thirsty, although you can buy drinks there of course. Try to buy several of the same item as you will get a better price that way. I bring a calculator and show the vendor the price I want to pay. Many of the vendors do not speak much Enflish and so this helps, also by keeping your price quiet so others do not hear you are apt to get the price you want. For inexpensive items I can usually get 15 to 20 percent off.
Report Abuse
That's great help! Besides the Weekend Market, any other suggestions of where to shop and not get ripped off?

In your OP you've got Khao San on Day 1.
It's a great area, vibrant, lively, a place to meet like-minded folk, swap ideas, great inexpensive street food, close to many attractions, close to the river and public ferries.
You probably won't want to move on.

Any particular spots that I will want to see while on Khao San? Places to start and go from there?

you really have not allowed for jet lague and the huge adjustment to Thailand's heat and humidity.

platinum fashion world is in our opinion the #1 shopping venue.

You can shop at MBK, use the sky train and and get off at National Statium and walk into Mbk. It has several floors of crafts. you an bargain a bit but not as much as you can at the weekend market.

People either love KSR - or not. I'm in the or not camp. It is filled with backpackers to the extent that it feels to me like the locals are pushed out. So it isn't an area I enjoy wandering in. However, there are lots of interesting things close to KSR - wats, etc.

Windies bringing A-game against Irish
BELFAST, Ireland—Bowling coach Roddy Estwick has warned Ireland that West Indies will be playing at full throttle, when the two teams meet in the one-off One-Day International today.
The Caribbean side boast a side which includes the likes of superstar Chris Gayle and stroke-maker Marlon Samuels, and will face and Irish side with much to prove after recently attaining Test status.
And even though West Indies will be more focused on the five-match series against England starting in a week's time, Estwick said the Ireland contest was of no lesser importance.
"They (Irish) will see attacking cricket. We're here to make a statement," Estwick said.
"We're on a mission, we're here to get enough points in this ODI and the five against England to help us qualify automatically for the World Cup so we've got to take this game very, very seriously."
He added: "We need points to move us forward in the 50-overs rankings … and all the boys are here so we're looking forward to putting on a good show tomorrow."
West Indies are already in danger of failing to qualify automatically for the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England.
They are currently ninth in the ODI rankings, with hosts England along with the remaining top seven teams, gaining automatic qualification.
With eighth placed Sri Lanka swept 5-0 by India recently, West Indies now need to beat Ireland and then also trounce England 4-1 or better, in order to assume eighth spot in the rankings.
West Indies were presented with challenging weather yesterday as temperatures dipped to 10 degrees Celsius, accompanied by steady rain. (CMC)

Research Areas
The Academic Team at Healthy Living is drawn from across a wide range of disciplines including Nutrition, Sport & Psychological Wellbeing. We favour an inter-disciplinary approach as many of the issues that we investigate require input from experts working collectively in different fields whilst working together in a cohesive manner.
Below we have provided you with a small synopsis of our focal research areas, although to find out any further information please don't hesitate to contact a member of the Healthy Living Group (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Performance Factors in Sport and Exercise
Researchers in Healthy Living have examined psychological performance factors within sport and exercise contexts. Extensive research has been conducted into the phenomenon that is the home advantage in a football context, specifically investigating the psycho-biological responses associated with playing venue. In addition, we have examined professional football players', managers' and referees' perceptions of playing venue.
Our research has also focussed on emotions and interpersonal relationships in sport, exercise and health. This has been conducted on a wide range of populations including military paratroopers, chronic pain patients and musicians.
Our sport and exercise psychology team are committed to developing research that has practical applications to assist athletes, coaches and parents. They are also interested in investigating and evaluating the impact of sport and physical activity participation, as a way of maintaining and enhancing psychological wellbeing across a range of populations.
Breakfast Clubs
School and community breakfast clubs are about much more than just food. As well as providing a healthy breakfast meal, breakfast clubs give children numerous additional opportunities including the chance to interact with peers and adults outside of the classroom while taking part in a range of available activities.
The opportunities afforded to children in a breakfast club have the potential to influence many aspects of development including their relationships with peers, teachers and parents, as well as their behaviour and cognitive performance. The Healthy Living team have a number of years of expertise in measuring the impact of breakfast club attendance using a variety of techniques including controlled experiments, observations and questionnaire based methods. Recently the team at Healthy Living have applied their extensive knowledge of breakfast clubs to the development of an online breakfast club training course, which shall be delivered nationally in partnership with Kellogg's.
Cognitive Testing
Members of Healthy Living have the required expertise to effectively measure children's cognitive abilities: – including memory, attention, and executive function. Developmental psychologists within the team are also able to assess children's educational performance using a range of tasks including: – reasoning, mathematical problems, IQ, problem solving, reading and comprehension tasks. The developmental expertise within Healthy Living enables the team to not only assess children under strict laboratory controlled conditions but also in schools, communities, and home environments.
Energy Balance & Appetite
Healthy Living members have investigated the relationship between energy balance and appetite in children and adolescents. This work has been conducted both within laboratory-based studies and more 'free-living' conditions, for example the measurement of physical activities undertaken in school. We have also explored the development of rigorous protocols to assess food intake, physical activity and body composition in children and adolescents.
The Physiological Effects of Fruit, Vegetables, Juices and Other Food Products
This research area focuses on the physiological effects of fruits, vegetables, juices and other food products on healthy people and those at risk from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and obesity. Researchers within Healthy Living run human dietary intervention trials investigating the effects of short-term and long-term consumption of phytochemical-rich foods, such as fruit and vegetable juices, soups, champagne, green tea, black-currants, blueberries and beetroot on real-time measures of blood vessel function, blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors. They are also able to investigate the effects of novel foods on measures of hunger, consumer acceptance and the effects of processing the levels of beneficial components.

There are more than one billion Catholics in the world, and each one has a similar set of basic beliefs and practices that he or she follows. Some of the teachings of Catholicism are thousands of years old, while others are more recent. So what is the Catholic culture like and what do they believe? Catholicism for Dummies answers these and many other questions.Whether you're a Catholic or not, you may be totally clueless or just unaware of some aspects of Catholic traditions, history, doctrine, worship, devotion, or culture.

Stephen Hawking, the renowned British physicist, is all set to trademark his name. According to the reports, he has already applied to the Intellectual Property Office to formally register his name.
Hawking, who is director of research at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Cambridge University, has taken the move to avoid any misuse and exploitation of his name with inappropriate products.
With the move, 73-year-old physicist, who once again came into limelight with the Oscar-winning film 'The Theory of Everything', has joined the league of English Physicist, Brian Cox (47), JK Rowling (author of Harry Potter series) and legendary footballer David Beckham. All these stars have already trademarked their name to turn themselves into brands.
"It's a personal matter for Stephen Hawking, it is not a university issue, but he has taken measures to protect his name and the success it has brought," said a spokesman from Cambridge University. However, the prime motive behind the move is to set up a foundation to promote Physics and research on motor neurone disease that paralysed him when he was 21 back in 1963. In addition, trademark would also be used for charitable purposes.
His trademark would include computer games, healthcare, powered wheelchairs and greeting cards.
"It depends on how successfully his advisers can license and market products and services. If he were to die, then the trademarks could be transferred to his foundation or offspring – they could be a never-ending monopoly," said Chris McLeod, president of the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys who believes the move could worth millions of pounds.
Moreover, Hawking is well known for his contribution to the field of general relativity. Many believe that among all the scientists present on the earth, Hawkings boasts the highest knowledge on Black Holes. He was also elected as Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1974. His book 'A Brief History of Time' is among the highest selling books ever.

I've an Itunes server, but because there's not something real out there, its pretty stupid. It would be awesome to see a application like conf. usb loader, that actually loads your music collection on the Wii. It would make your Wii into an excellent Media player, connected to your surround set, or just the tv. or whatever. Maybe this would be a good idea? Any idea's? I'm not a coder, so I can't code, but I wanna see some app that does this. Maybe with coverflow, pointing and stuff. Just like real itunes on the wii.... But... it will be alot of work but it will be cool!

JERUSALEM, March 22 (Reuters) - The Bank of Israel allowed Altshuler Shaham Investment House to raise its holding in a banking corporation to 7.5 percent on Wednesday, the second such approval this year.
Israel has responded to pressure from investors to allow investment banks to be able to hold larger stakes in banks so that their shares can be more easily traded by issuing a permit that allows a long-standing limit to be breached.
It permitted investment bank Meitav Dash to increase its holdings in a bank in January.
Institutions had told the central bank, which regulates the sector, that the existing limit of 5 percent prevents them from raising their holdings of bank shares on behalf of the public.
It also adversely impacts trading of bank shares and has a negative knock-on effect on their market values, the central bank said. Israel's two biggest banks, Hapoalim and Leumi, are the biggest stocks on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's (TASE) blue-chip index.
The change in policy enables the controlling shareholders in such institutions managing customers' funds to hold up to 7.5 percent of a bank, subject to receiving a permit.
"This is a correct and fair policy of the Bank of Israel, similar to an accepted holding of up to 10 percent globally, which works for the benefit of the investing public and also positively influences the tradability of bank stocks and their values," Ran Shaham, co-CEO of Altshuler Shaham said.
In most advanced economies, including the United States, Britain and France, the holding percentage that requires a permit is 10 percent and in some countries it is 15 percent. (Reporting by Steven Scheer; editing by Alexander Smith)

Unanswered: Help with Group by Clause
Hi Guys,
I have a table.
The Columns are Key1,Key2,Measure1,Measure2,Measure3.
Measure1,Measure2 and Measure3 are all numeric Values.
I need output in the following format
Key1,Key2,(count of Measure1<1),(Count of Measure1>1.33),(count of Measure1 between 1 and 1.33)...
Also Measure1 can have null values which we need to ignore during the count.
And similarly for Measure2 and Measure3.
I hope i made myself clear.
Thanks For your help.

>I hope i made myself clear.
IMO, at best it is ambiguous & at worst it is nonsensical.
>Key1,Key2,(count of Measure1<1)
is COUNT for KEY1, KEY2, both KEY1 & KEY2, or either KEY1 or KEY2?
what is the relationship between KEY1 & KEY2 in line above? are they from same or different records in the table?

Key1 and Key2 are columns, I would therefore assume that they are from the same row and the count is for the combination of the two columns.
Of course, I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.

@Pablolee,, Yes, for the combination of Key1 and Key2, the count of the Measure 1 with the given constraint has to be applied..
And i tried the Sum(Case...) but it was throwing an error.

Conserve SC is labeled for fruit flies, which is what spotted wing drosophila are in the same family as. It does not kill them but surpresses them.

Introducing the new Celeste Collection featured on leather and suede. Zara's innovative approach to embroidering on furnishing fabrics has led her to explore working on leather, producing stunning results. Designed to be equally at home in contemporary and traditional surroundings the designs explore the subtle contrast of textures between leather, suede and stitch.
Clients can select from the existing Celeste range on a choice of their own leather with embroidered threads matched to their individual interior schemes or can have a bespoke design created exclusively for them. Alternatively any of the Celeste designs can be produces on any other specified fabric.
The process of hand drawing and the same attention to detail is still applied to the design of this collection enabling Zara to be as imaginative as if she was working on silk, linen or wool. Designs are curiously intriguing as they are created for the individual shape of the product as designs randomly travel over the surface enhancing its shape offering new ways to decorate an interior with bespoke creations.

Log message: Updated mame to 0.184. Well, itâs the last Wednesday of the month, and I hope you know what that means: itâs time for your regularly scheduled MAME release. There arenât a huge number of new working machines in this release, but there are some significant improvements. Thanks to kazblox, MAME now emulates some of the peculiarities of Famicom clone hardware, and thanks to shattered, emulation of the Agat-7 Apple II clone is improved. Peter Ferrie provided a superior Apple II language card implementation. Weâve got lots of additions to the BBC and PC software lists from Nigel Barnes and darkstar. Weâve made substantial improvements to some of MAMEâs non-emulation features. The -romident verb is now much faster when used on a folder or archive containing multiple files, and will identify ROMs for emulated slot devices that arenât inserted by default. The -listxml output now includes all linked devices, and is produced at least 30% faster. Weâve also improved -verifyroms so it covers more devices and is faster when verifying ROMs for a subset of drivers/devices. MAME 0.184 includes support for plenty of newly dumped versions of supported arcade games, including a rare US prototype of Shanghai III, the world release of Super Crowns Golf, a version of Flashgirl that shows the Kyugo logo, a German version of Raiden II, the Japanese release of Radical Radial, and bootlegs of Bomber Man and Phoenix. There are also several new chess computers, and even more Aristocrat Mark V gambler sets. If youâre interested in the TI-8x graphing calculators, itâs now possible to get an emulated TI-82 or TI-85 to communicate with another emulated instance or with a program running on the host computer over a socket.

Log message: Updated mame to 0.183. MAME 0.183 22 Feb 2017 Hi everyone! Itâs been a busy month for MAME development, and weâve got a whole lot of surprises to unwrap today as we continue to celebrate twenty years of MAME. First up, weâve added some incredibly rare systems to MAME. Omega is an Arkanoid-inspired arcade game with a production run of about ten boards. Dodge Man is a rare Omori title from 1983. The vertical version of Flash Boy, a DECO Cassette title that borrows more than a little from a well known anime is another very rare game that was at risk of becoming nothing but a memory. Westinghouse Test Console #5 is possibly a one-of-a-kind wire-wrapped prototype machine for field-programming some kind of interlocking equipment (it has a rude easter egg â press X|TRAN in calculator mode to see it). Less rare, but still awesome, are arcade titles Galaxy Games StarPak 3, Sega Sonic Cosmo Fighter, and a U.S. release of Puzznic with the digitised photos intact. This release adds support for a number of electronic toys/handheld games, including Atariâs Touch Me (a clone of Simon, which is itself a clone of an Atari arcade game), GAF Melody Madness, Lakeside Le Boom, and with possibly the most awesome title if not gameplay, LJNâs I Took a Lickinâ From a Chicken. Many of these games have colourful, clickable artwork. MAME is dedicated to preserving more than just video games, and these systems are great examples of some of the other experiences you can relive through emulation. If you use MAMEâs computer emulation and have been frustrated by modifiers not working properly in natural keyboard mode, youâll be pleased to know that this release addresses that. Natural keyboard mode now works properly with many more systems, including Amiga, Sun and RM Nimbus. Speaking of Amiga, weâve emulated a 3rd-party variant of the Amiga 1200 keyboard and added support for many different language variants, so chances are youâll be able to use keyboard that matches your Workbench language. And speaking of keyboards, the Zorba keyboard now works properly, so you can try out one of the last luggable CP/M machines. Other improvements include fixing the crash on encountering invalid cheats, allowing multi-part software list entries to load each part on the correct interface, emulation of the Poly-Play light organ, a brand new preliminary Interpro 2800 driver and Clipper CPU core, support for VIC-20 and C64 speech synthesiser cartridges, support for the Osborne-1 Nuevo Video 80-column modification, protection MCU emulation in Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja and Bouncing Balls, audio improvements to a number of supported games, and optimisation of the netlist emulation. Some of these improvements might seem inconsequential, or apply to systems you donât use, but they often lie in common components used by many other systems. For example, the Amiga 1200 and Zorba keyboards use the same MCU family used in a lot of arcade games published by Taito. The same change that fixes the Zorba keyboard also fixes enemy spawning and timing in Xain'd Sleena. The Nuevo Video board uses a common Motorola CRT controller, so improvements made to support it stand to benefit a lot of other systems. Of course there are plenty of other improvements not listed here, and you can read all about them in the whatsnew.txt file, or grab the source or Windows binaries from the download page and join in our 20th anniversary celebration.

Log message: Updated mame to 0.182. MAME 0.182 As we approach the 20th anniversary of the first MAME release, we've got a really exciting update for you. There's so much awesome stuff in this month's release that there's no way we can possibly cover it all here. MAME is a team effort, and we'd like to thank everyone who's contributed towards making this release as awesome as we think it is. One very exciting addition is support for another version of the East German Poly-Play system, with German and Czech ROM sets providing ten games, six of which are new. Protection on Future Flash/Laser Base has finally been emulated, so you can take a look at Hoei's take on Missile Command. A dump of the damaged microcontroller (MCU) from Tatakae! Big Fighter makes this title and Sky Robo finally playable. Another eagerly awaited addition is the Hot-B prototype Hangzo. Serial ports have been hooked up on Race Drivin' allowing you to link two MAME instances over TCP, reproducing the multi-player experience with linked cabinets. To do this, use a null modem slot device and configure it for 38,400 Baud, 8 data bits, even parity, and 1 stop bit. It would also be possible to connect a MAME instance to a real board set by forwarding the connection to a serial port on the host system. We've received a contributed PortAudio output module and integrated it in this release. This provides a cross-platform low latency audio output solution. Performance should be similar to Steinberg ASIO on Windows 7 or later without the licensing issues, and better than SDL audio on Linux. It can be enabled by setting the sound parameter to portaudio on the command line or in an ini file. Of course, all the other audio output modules are still supported, so if you're happy with your current setup you don't have to change anything. Although we haven't added a huge number of new microcontroller (MCU) dumps in this release, substantial work has gone into improving systems where we already have dumps but the emulation is lacking. MCU emulation was added to Puzznic, Joshi Volleyball and Gladiator. For Puzznic, this places player data at the correct location in RAM and supplies the game with a pseudo-random number sequence rather than a stream of zeros. Joshi Volleyball now behaves better in service mode, allowing coins and inputs to be tested. Gladiator now honours the coinage DIP switches. The MC68705 core has had a complete overhaul, and all drivers using it have been reviewed. This fixes lots of subtle issues: for example Change Lanes will now skip the full memory tests if configured to ignore them in DIP switches, timings have improved in Arkanoid, and the Apple II mouse card is slightly improved. We now emulate the '705 family well enough to support stand-alone MCU programmer boards. Other improvements include working sound in Pole Position bootlegs, improved video in Winning Run, preliminary banked 256 colour mode for the NEC PC-9821, kana input on the Sharp X1, a VME bus system with preliminary support for the miniFORCE 2P21 chassis, additional Aristocrat Mark 5 peripheral emulation allowing non-US games to boot, Corvus hard disks for the DEC Rainbow 100, preliminary work on Atari Stunt Cycle (displays the playfield), fixes for the Aussie Byte and Otrona Attaché, and support for octal and binary numbers in debugger expressions.

These Magnemite are electric-type Pokémon owned by Ethan.
Magnemite were Ethan's Pokémon whom he used to absorb electricity from thunderstorms. He got the Magnemite to store the energy and transport them to nearby cities, calling them by numbers. When Ethan got hurt, he let Ash transport the Magnemite to next town. Team Rocket appeared and attracted the Magnemite with static electricity, but Number 6 evolved and defeated Team Rocket, allowing Ash to transport the Magnemite successfully.
