I don't know if this technically counts as a bug, but the thread title explains pretty much the whole problem. I tried to go back and listen to Jeff humorously reading DSIWare releases, but every link that was tied to the podcast is no longer working.
The GB articles about each episode have links to both Jeff's blog (which I guess was tied to the RSS feed) and an MP3 hosted on media.giantbomb.com, but the jeffblog links now just redirect to his tumblr, while the media.giantbomb ones died during the redesign or maybe even long before. Even on iTunes or other podcast services, it seems totally inaccessible, presumably because those services are trying to pull from the now-dead RSS. Maybe a 2011 side project/joke podcast counts as low-priority content, but I'd really appreciate it if they got rehosted as MP3s somewhere on the site, or even if the old mp3 links were changed to lead to wherever those files are now.
Apologies if the bug forum is the wrong place for this - if so, it'd at least be nice to know who to talk to about old dead links.

UPDATE: 6/10/14, 8:48 a.m. EDT. The names of the lawyers from Porter Hedges have been added to the seventh and eighth paragraphs of this story.
Two companies linked to billionaire Aubrey McClendon—one of the foremost backers of the so-called U.S. shale gas revolution—made big moves in the energy space Monday. And a handful of large law firms have landed roles on both matters.
Chesapeake Energy Corp., the Oklahoma City-based oil and gas company cofounded by McClendon, who was forced to retire as its CEO last year, saw its board of directors approve Monday a plan to shed $1.1 billion in debt by spinning off its oilfield services unit later this month.
The new publicly traded company will be called Seventy Seven Energy. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz corporate partner David Katz is advising Chesapeake's board on the plan, while the company itself has retained Baker Botts and Oklahoma's McAfee & Taft. Chesapeake, which last week sold some transportation assets to Rose Rock Midstream LP for an undisclosed sum, has sought to streamline its operations following last year's change in management.
As for McClendon, whose tenure at Chesapeake was marred by allegations of excessive spending and conflicts of interest (an investigation ultimately cleared him of wrongdoing in mixing personal loans with corporate finances), he started American Energy Partners LP just down the street from his old corporate headquarters.
Oklahoma City-based AEP, whose general counsel is Robert Kelly, almost immediately began acquiring oil and gas leases to capitalize on the shale boom that McClendon has been the face of in recent years. In January, an AEP subsidiary paid $924 million to struggling Hess Corp. for 74,000 acres of assets in Ohio's Utica shale formation. AEP's market value hit $5 billion by February.
On Monday, AEP announced another trio of shale acreage acquisitions totaling some $4.25 billion. Sullivan & Cromwell, Houston's Porter Hedges and Oklahoma City's Commercial Law Group P.C. are advising AEP on the transactions, according to a press release. The Commercial Law Group has been a longtime legal adviser to McClendon and Chesapeake, having counseled the latter on its $4.75 billion sale of assets in the Fayetteville shale formation in 2011, according to our previous reports.
Last year Porter Hedges picked up energy partner Jeremy Mouton in Houston from the Commercial Law Group. Mouton and fellow corporate partner Corey Brown, who joined Porter Hedges in 2011, are currently advising AEP along with associates Deborah Ko, H. McCaleb Marshall and Brian Rose. The group is working on a $2.5 billion slice of the deal that will see AEP acquire 63,000 net acres of oil and gas properties in Texas' Permian Basin owned by EnCap Investments, a subsidiary of Denver-based Enduring Resources.
Another Porter Hedges team, led by Mouton, Ko, Marshall and associate R. Dennis Ng, is advising AEP on its payment of another $1.75 billion to East Resources Inc. and an unidentifed private buyer to acquire an additional 75,000 net acres in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations.
Latham & Watkins, whose opening of a Houston office in 2010 was the subject of a recent feature story in The American Lawyer, has taken the lead for Enduring on its deal with AEP. Corporate partners Michael Darden and Michael Dillard, oil and gas partner Michael King, finance partner Catherine Ozdogan, tax partner C. Timothy Fenn, environmental partner Joel Mack, antitrust counsel Sydney Smith and associate James Robertson are working on the matter for Latham. The firm, which also advised Hess on its shale sale to AEP earlier this year, has previously done work for Enduring.
Baker Botts is advising the sellers led by East Resources on the second transaction with AEP. As noted above, Baker Botts is also counseling Chesapeake on its spinoff of Seventy Seven Energy. Taking the lead on that matter are Baker Botts capital markets partner Hillary Holmes, M&A partner Derek Green, tax partner Chad McCormick, finance partner Shalla Prichard, employee benefits partner Mark Bodron, environmental partner J. Scott Janoe and associates Rachael Lichman, Aaron Pinegar and Katie Ryan.
Last year Chesapeake named former Bracewell & Giuliani litigation partner Patrick Craine to serve as its new chief compliance officer, reporting to the company's newly installed general counsel James Webb. Chesapeake's in-house legal department was caught up in the company's investigation into McClendon, according to sibling publication Corporate Counsel. (Chesapeake's former in-house legal chief Henry Hood currently works as a consultant to the oil and gas industry.)
The audit committee of Chesapeake's board of directors hired Locke Lord to review loans made to McClendon, while Wachtell served as corporate governance and M&A counsel to the company. McClendon was advised in the probe by Duane Morris litigation partner Marvin Pickholz, a former assistant director of enforcement at the SEC.

|Cause of Death:
|Birth Place:

|Cast ... actor sports handicapper
The self-described "black sheep" of movie star siblings the Baldwin brothers - along with Alec, William and Stephen - Daniel Baldwin entered the family business relatively late in life, and while an early television role garnered him strong notices, his continuing battle with drug abuse eventually threatened to overshadow his work as an actor. After chipping away at minor roles in films that included "Born on the Fourth of July" (1989), "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" (1991) and "Hero" (1992), he broke out with a prominent regular cast role on the celebrated police procedural "Homicide: Life on the Street" (NBC, 1993-99). Promising work in projects such as "Mulholland Falls" (1996), "Trees Lounge" (1996), and "John Carpenter's Vampires" (1998) was quickly eclipsed by a much publicized drug overdose in a luxury New York City hotel. What followed was a lengthy stretch of appearances in direct-to-DVD movies, punctuated by multiple arrests, stints on reality television, and the occasional high-profile project, such as the Emmy-winning cable drama "Grey Gardens" (HBO, 2008). Obviously talented as an actor in his own right, it became clear that the shadow Baldwin most needed to get out from under was not that of his illustrious brothers, but his own personal demons.

In 1781, the Continental Congress gave Robert Morris, as Superintendent of Finances, broad powers to reform the administration and funding of the Continental Army. Among his reforms, Morris shifted the burden of paying the officers and soldiers directly to the states, so that the legislature of Massachusetts became responsible for paying the salaries of the ten Massachusetts regiments in the Army. One benefit was that this freed up funds so that Morris could improve the clothing and equipment of the Army.
However, the states often failed to meet their responsibilities, and in June 1783, when those soldiers who had served for the duration of the War were discharged, they were still owed for years of service. Lt. Benjamin Gilbert of the 5th Massachusetts Regiment wrote bitterly about this to his brother-in-law:
"It is impossible for me to paint to you the disagreeable feelings which I have undergone for four or five days past. Those brave men who were [serving for the duration] of the war and who have been fighting from four to eight years in the defense of their country and for the preservation of liberty, are now discharged from the service and are retiring from the field of glory with joy in their countenances, but poverty in their pockets. Not one man in twenty of them has a single farthing to support him on his passage to his friends, but must be under the necessity of begging of those people for the protection of whose liberties and property they have so long fought — an unprecedented piece of ingratitude. If we search the records of heaven, or all the annals of the ancient or modern wars, we cannot find a parallel instance of inhumanity. If this continent and its inhabitants were worth fighting for, one could not be so ungenerous as to suppose it would not reward its protectors. I am at times almost tempted to wish I had not lived to see the day when those brave heroes, the deliverers of my country, should be driven from the field of glory without one farthing of reward for their services. Where is justice, where is the propriety of the Army's bearing the whole burden of the War?"

Nokia fully expects, and plans, to do what Microsoft and its handset partners have so far been unable to do: make
Windows 8 a must-have Mobile platform.
NOKIA is reportedly considering plans to build Slate tablet with Windows 8 based OS..Its said Nokia Slate tablet would be available by the end of 2012.The move would be a response to the success of Apple's iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad, as well as Android-based tablets and smartphones from Google and its manufacturing partners. To create its tablet competitor,
While Windows 8, with its Phone 7-inspired touch interface looks promising, I have to wonder if Nokia`s rumored Slate tablet plans would be an Xbox 360-style success or a Kin-sized disaster. There are several pitfalls that could trap the company. If the purported tablet has 3G or 4G connectivity, will Microsoft and its carrier partners offer expensive pricing, as happened with the Kin? Will Microsoft stick with its tablet over the long term or will the Microsoft-branded device be discontinued as soon as it appears, another Kin specialty.
Perhaps Nokia plan is to do something similar to what Google did with the Android-based Nexus One. By building its own tablet,Nokia is in a unique relationship with Microsoft, contributing a range of its own assets that can show the world what a properly envisioned Windows 8 tablet should look like. A Windows 8 tablet free of manufacturer crapware and with killer specs that would make any iPad 2 owner blush.
Nokia To Hit Every Price Point
On the subject of whether a Nokia tablet would be running Windows Phone OS, Elop said that they are definitely weighing their options and are trying to figure out what is the best tablet strategy for Nokia"There are now over 200 different tablets on the marketplace and only one of them is doing really well………I don't want to be the 201st tablet on the market that you can't tell from all of the others, we have to take a uniquely Nokia perspective" -Stephen Elop-
Microsoft already does something similar for computers with its Signature PC program through the Microsoft Store. Signature PCs are basically computers made by companies such as Dell, HP and Samsung that are sold without trial ware and optimized for performance by Microsoft. The company's Notified Nokia Windows 8 Slate tablet may be just an extension of the Signature PC program, but with a Nokia-Microsoft branded device..
Nokia is already hard at work with the development of its first handsets that would run under Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Operating System (OS), and a few more details on the matter have just leaked into the wild.
But according to Öistamo, it means that Nokia is going to be very careful that any changes will not break Windows Phone applications or disrupt the development environment for programmers.
However, what's interesting is that, along with these Windows Phone 7 handsets, Nokia is also rumored to be working on the development of a Windows 8 tablet PC.
"Nokia R&D - 4 Windows Phone 7 and 1 Slate tablet (Win8 presumably). 2 phones used chassis 1, 2 based on chassis 2 - like HTC Ignate (middle end)," the aforementioned tweet reads.
But would you be more interested in buying a Nokia Windows 8 Slate tablet or a Windows 8 tablet from typical device makers such as Sony or HTC?
Other than that we don't know anything more about this Nokia Windows 8 Slate tablet, but will be sure to post more details as and when we get them.

Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek created a limited collection named JASSA for IKEA. A new collection by IKEA is always a reason to be happy but I must say the Jassa collection is truly amazing. Sustainability is very important for Piet Hein Eek which you can also see in the JASSA collection. The furniture and lamps are made of natural materials such as bamboo and rattan. Next to furniture and lamps the JASSA collection also includes baskets, ceramics and very colorful textiles. I love the combination of colorful fabrics and natural materials that Piet Hein Eek has used is this collection and I can't wait to see it in stores. We only have to wait a little while because the JASSA collection will go on sale in march 2017.

Our Programs
To bring hope and necessary care to kids through dignity, health, joy, and love. H4KI strives to restore dignity to innocent children and families who are suffering through extreme poverty and disease. We are bringing relief to poverty-stricken villages by providing clean water, building medical and dental clinics, and establishing emergency medical funds. Our strategies are designed to help villagers become self-sufficient through life-saving programs.
Child SponsorshipGive hope and necessary care to a needy child today.
Child sponsorship is your opportunity to transform the life of a child. Through monthly support, you will empower and equip a child (or children) to create a better life. You can be part of this vital outreach by sponsoring a needy child, many of whom are orphans and have lost parents in the AIDS epidemic. By supporting these children, you will offer them a foundation for a bright future.Read More
Short-Term Missions TripsA Life Changing Adventure
Where is your passion? Medicine? Education? Construction? H4KI offers a variety of opportunities to give you a well-rounded mission experience. We will share the opportunities for the day and you decide where you want to serve. Making a difference in this world during your mission experience will not only directly impact the lives of the children you meet, it will transform your life.Read More
Water 4 Kids InternationalRestoring hope through safe water... one village at a time.
W4KI has been bringing hope to disadvantaged children affected by extreme poverty and preventable diseases. W4KI drills deepwater wells in remote villages throughout East Africa and Central India. Clean water is one of the best ways to prevent diseases in remote villages in which an ailment such as diarrhea is often fatal. We strategically drill wells in communities close to primary schools, medical clinics, and trading centers.Read More
Africa Feeding ProgramFeed hope to a child
Countless African children struggle every day just to stay alive. Innocent children scrounging for food in trash heaps is a heartbreaking sight that Pastor Ruth of Smile Africa could not allow to continue. Hope 4 Kids International works alongside many credible and passionate field partners to ensure that our mission is fulfilled and expands. Smile Africa is just one of the many field partners that we have come to respect and trust. Today, she oversees the feeding and well-being of over 400 children who come to her daily to alleviate their hunger. Besides feeding these hungry children, Pastor Ruth provides solace by offering loving care.Read More
Education 4 Kids InternationalEducation Saves Lives.
E4KI equips the next generation of leaders and professionals with the necessary tools to compete on a global level. Through equal opportunity and an equitable education, we aim to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education while achieving safer, healthier, richer, and freer nations.Read More
Adopt a Village
Hope 4 Kids International strives to lift remote villages out of the depths of extreme poverty by providing life-saving tools to combat various levels of poverty. Most of our unsponsored villages are worshipping in shacks and living without access to safe water, basic health care, or quality education.Read More
Karamojong ChildrenHelp support the plight of God's street children in Uganda.
Many of God's most precious children around the world are left to fend for themselves by living on the street like they do in Tororo, Uganda. Before H4KI arrived, these children survived by eating food found in trash bins. Now, these children receive breakfast and a highly nutritious meal at lunch. We also provide these 420 children with basic healthcare at our onsite medical clinic. We strive to give these kids a quality education in spite of their injustice. Your gift will help us with their monthly basic necessities.Read More
Life-Saving Medicine
H4KI promotes health, healing, and wholeness throughout our six medical clinics located in remote villages in the surrounding area of Tororo, Uganda. Tragically, villagers are far too familiar with death caused by preventable and treatable diseases like malaria, measles, dysentery, and HIV/AIDS. H4KI is committed to keeping our medical clinics open and fully stocked with life-saving medicines. Imagine carrying your suffering child to a clinic, only to find out the shelves, which should be holding medicine, are empty.Read More

What is intuition? Where does it come from? Why does it so often seem like a good idea or solution or answer to whatever you seek? We use other words for the same thing. We say women have intuition, men have "gut feelings" or hunches. We have all experienced it, but have we thought about what it is and why we have it?
When you think about something, what does that mean? Most of the time we mean that we are engaging in an internal dialogue, using language to structure our thoughts. But there are other ways of thinking. Like visual thinking. This is what animals do and it is how the famous autistic person, Temple Grandin says she thinks. I myself am capable of mathematical thinking far beyond what a normal person can do. The basic rules of algebra for example are "hard wired" into my brain. This means that I can do algebra by simply looking, or even visualizing a formula and easily and "thoughtlessly" applying the rules and manipulating the formula. It is so easy for me it feels effortless. There is also kinesthetic thinking, which is what athletes are exceptionally good at. There are others of course, but listing them is not the point here. What are you good at? If you have a talent for something it likely means that you are good at doing the type of non-verbal thinking more useful for that task.
If we are all capable of thinking in different ways, why don't we do more of it? I suggest that the reason is your ego. The ego stays in the upper, verbal part of the mind and tries to make you stay there. It dominates your emotional and verbal state because it is only concerned with judgment. You ego keeps you in a state where you are constantly judging everything around you; good, bad, or indifferent. The problem with this is that after you judge it, you stop thinking about it. You're done with it, and back to thinking about yourself. The ego keeps you separate and keeps you from thinking deeply.
Sometimes however, things get through the ego barrier. Then you have a great or insightful thought that you don't recognize the origin. It's great when it happens, but why can't we do more of it.
When the ego is transcended, then the thinking can really begin and the ideas and knowledge flows. This is enlightenment. When meditating, the mind is quiet. If the mind is quiet and the ego is out of the way and the thoughts are allowed to flow from deep levels, or from the consciousness field, then the mind is realizing its true potential.
Samadhi is quiet mind and bliss.
Enlightenment is samadhi plus the flow of knowledge.
Samadhi is relaxing, enlightenment takes energy.
Where did these ideas come from? I just described the process.

Musical Advent Calendar + Let's Talk About Christmas
Posted on December 09, 2013 at 18:26
Hey guys! I'm in the midst of making an Advent Calendar of free music, mostly of the "sloppy folk songs recorded on any of several tape machines in varying states of disrepair" variety, kind of inspired by the cassette albums I used to make with my brothers when I was a kid. Some of the songs are happy, some of them are sad, all of them are a bit of a mess. These are the ones I've done so far:
Summoning Ritual
Regression Sickness, Parts I & II
The Landing
Pink Plastic Tree Song
Idyll No. 1 (Parking Lot Scene)
Regression Sickness, Part III
If you want to follow along, that'd be great. I'll be posting them to my SoundCloud each day: https://soundcloud.com/hlemke
While we're on the subject, I'd really like to know some things about you. Christmas is a time thick with memories for most people I know, and that's by turns beautiful and kind of oppressive. So: what about you?
Do you actually like Christmas? What are some of your strongest memories from this time of year? Does it mean anything in particular to you? What makes it hard/nice for you? etc.
Space Hymns (2013 Space Theodicy Edition)
Posted on October 27, 2013 at 01:36
So maybe some of you remember my first couple of music releases, which were released as ultra-low-bit-rate MP3s. I've significantly expanded those releases and reissued them as of tonight. So, happy Sunday morning (it's 12:30 where I am).
Stream/download (high bit rate): http://brotherandroid.bandcamp.com/album/space-hymns-2013-space-theodicy-edition
Download (low bit rate): dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6497403/space_hymns_complete_24kbps.zip
Brother Android's first two releases in all their original glory and then some. This quadruple EP contains all the tracks from Space Hymns and the Scientific Satellite EP, plus 16 new friends. Bursting at the bits with tunes & beats, blips & bleeps, squawks, squeaks, noise, & the occasional silence (for reflection). Stories of lonely voyages, desolation, mysterious sights, & the glory of God.
Tracks 1-8 are the "Tiny Spaceship EP."
Tracks 9-16 are the "Scientific Satellite EP."
Tracks 17-24 are the "Cold Planet EP."
Tracks 25-32 are the "Final Landing EP."
To obtain a sonically correct copy:
1. Download the Bandcamp release in the file format of your choice, and convert to 24 kbps MP3 format; or
2. Download the release here, already downsampled for maximum warmth & splendor: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6497403/space_hymns_complete_24kbps.zip
This edition is fully backwards compatible with all previous editions. Alternate canons also supported.
Lift up your synthesizers and play.

Music, Twitter, Life
Posted on September 11, 2013 at 17:22
So my last two posts were all about my music, but I guess I wasn't quite finished.
This is the first full-length album of my folk music project. It's about some things I went through, mostly a couple of years ago, though some of it's the kind of stuff that doesn't really end. If you are into lyric-centered acoustic music with shouting and tape hiss and wow and flutter, you might like it.
Stream/download it for free here: http://harrisonlemke.bandcamp.com/album/what-ails-us
Also, are any of you guys on Twitter? I don't really do much in the way of social media, but I've kind of warmed up to Twitter because it's a lot less invasive of people's privacy and can kind of be whatever you want it to be. So I'm there; you can follow me if there aren't enough links and bad jokes on your feed already: https://twitter.com/hplemke
I'm also playing my first-ever chiptune show in Austin, TX tomorrow night. And by "playing" I mean something more like "pushing play." Chiptune shows are kind of weird like that. Hopefully it won't be a total bust, though. I'm assuming none of you live anywhere nearby, but if anyone does and wants to come, let me know.
Also, I'm starting a software QA job next week. So that's a thing. I have some loans to pay off and grad school to potentially prepare for, so... yeah. Here's to hoping the adult world isn't as bad as it sounds. Do any of you work "in industry," as they say? I figure I can't be the only person here who accidentally grew up sometime in the last five years.
Folk Tunes Upon Folk Tunes
Posted on August 28, 2013 at 15:39
So since I was last around here, the majority of my creative energy has actually gone to a lyrically-centered folk music project featuring sloppy harmonica playing, tape hiss, angst, and other instruments. I've written and recorded LOTS of stuff that still is not online for one reason or another but there are some songs you can check out on my SoundCloud page:
I also have a mini-album of mostly-depressing Christmas-themed songs that I made (mostly) last winter. I know it's not the time of year for it exactly, but you can get it for free here if you want:
Anyway, I have a couple of releases I'm working on finishing right now, so if you like this at all, stay tuned.
Other Stuff
I read through my old blog posts on this site. A sincere apology to everyone who was around for those days because I used to be a real brat. I'd delete them but it's good to remember where you came from once in a while.
So what's new with you? Does anyone else here do non-electronic music?

Chiptunes Upon Chiptunes
Posted on August 24, 2013 at 20:22
So I haven't posted here in a while, to say the least. But the last couple times I popped in out of nowhere to post music I made and then disappear, you guys actually listened to it, so it's time to do that again. But I might not disappear. But don't count on it.
This is my weird prog/metal/ambient album that I wrote in some kind of an att. One guy one time said it was a "tour-de-force"; what a nice thing to say. Anyway, you can listen to it up above on Bandcamp, and you can download it for free here:
This is my new EP from this summer. It's just one really long song. You can get it on a floppy disk if that sounds like a good idea to you. But you can also download it for free here: https://soundcloud.com/brother-android/black-gate
Lately I've been starting to make NES music instead of all this fake chiptune stuff, and it's really fun actually. I haven't put together much of consequence on that front, but there are a couple on my SoundCloud.
In other news, I finished college and now I'm at that part where I don't know what to do with my life but am pretty sure I don't want to program computers even though that's what I learned in school. Right now I'm torn between trying to make it in life as a musician or becoming an English teacher or both. So that's me. How about you?

Change your life and business forever
13 pages of information that may change your life and business forever
Do you avoid challenges?
Are you afraid to take a chance?
Are you just living in your comfort zone?
Are you limiting yourself by living too carefully?
Are you finally becoming dissatisfied enough to take on
measured risk and take action?
It's unfortunate that we easily fall into the trap of living
in our comfort zone of the present. We continually put off
taking action on our goals until the future, or reminisce about
the past to find excuses for not taking action now.
I am making Lesson 16 of the Ultimate Success Program available
to anyone that wants to know the answer.
It's free, you don't have to signup or register.
Just download it and read it.
You will discover:
* how to use the "BCWC" technique to overcome the fear of taking action
* the five action verbs that get you living life and accomplishing your dreams
* how to use your built-in "magic mechanism of success" to get what you want
* the simple five step process to mastering anything you want to do
* the four Stages of Competence and above that, the three Stages of Mastery
* and more.
I suggest you download it, print it out, and while you're reading it
write your thoughts and comments in the margin for each paragraph
as you go along, this way you will enter into a conversation with
me on these very important topics revealed in this one lesson
of the USP program.
Here's where to download it:
If you have an interest in the home study course, you can go
to http://ultimate-success-program.com
Or, if you want to know more about my personal One On One
Coaching program that includes the complete USP lessons
plus weekly private telephone calls with me to coach
and mentor you through the USP mindset lessons and also
coach you with life and business success, send
me an email and I will provide you more information
and available time slots.
As always, my best to you —
Mark Hendricks

Majority of Nigerians are using facebook, twitter and other social media more for entertainment than for tasking the government on good governance efforts towards national development.
This is the position of stakeholders at a three-day social media retreat in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State theme "Using Social Media for Improved Democratic Governance and Citizen Participation" organised by the Democratic Governance for Development (DGD ll) Project, the European Union, the Department for International Development (DFID), the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA),
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Youth Action Initiative Africa (YAIA). Executive Director of the West African NGO Network (WNAGOnet),
Tunji Lardner, speaking on 'An overview of the Social Media Landscape in Nigeria' said a report of a research by the Applied Physics Lab of the Johns Hopkins University shows that between April 2010 and October 2011, 131 million tweets were collected from 633, 217 users in Nigeria. "Nigeria has 5,86,720 face book users, with 87.9 percent mobile penetration second world highest and 2,152,440 population between the ages 18-24.
However, the list of top 10 twitter accounts based on the number of Nigerian followers includes the accounts of seven musicians and actors, two newspapers and one television station devoted to entertainment," Lardner said while urging Nigerians to rather emulate youths of other countries who exploit the social media to promote good governance.

One person who helped shape the Star Wars prequels for the better is stunt coordinator Nick Gillard. His personal take on the Jedi and their fighting style gave us the super fast, highly choreographed fights like Star Wars Episode I's Duel Of The Fates:
Video credit- WaccoTaco on YouTube.
Does the absence of Mr. Gillard suggest a different approach to the lightsaber action in the new Star Wars films, assuming there is some. Will they favour the Bob Anderson Kendo style fights from the earlier movies? Is this further evidence that the Star Wars creative team are distancing themselves as much as possible from the prequels?
I don't think it's such a bad thing for the new movies to establish their own style, after all, generations separate the three trilogies. The prequels show the Jedi at the height of their powers, the original trilogy shows "old men and men who are half machine and young untrained boys fighting" to paraphrase The Maker, so they can be forgiven for being slower by comparison. If we get lightsaber fights in the new movies, and I suspect we will, why wouldn't they be different? Who would be training the new force users in the art? It'll be interesting to see if Mr. Gillard will be added later in the films production. Watch this space I guess.

NOTE: This

last time and missed a section. Hey, it was my first trip on
The charts for this section of the river (102 and 103) are available at (http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/optm/article.asp?id=145&MyCategory=41), but let me first mention for the sake on continuity that I'll be describing this trip in an upriver fashion. Not only are the miles numbered that way on the charts, but that's also the way that I recommend paddling any river – upstream (try getting stuck downriver after the wind picks up and you'll know what I mean!).
Yes, I did the

and only after getting to know it better on the charts. Also

lock or
Meanwhile, I'd heard the lock-through process can take some time, and since nothing yet seemed to be happening on this front I decided to see if I could get a better view of it from across the water. However, prior to making that crossing I first paddled back upriver about ½ mile from the dam (near a marker called Arrival Point) for a measure of added safety. Then, paddling in a slow upriver arc to counteract the slight wind and current I began to cross, only changing direction slightly past mid-river to then head in a direct line toward the opposite shoreline.
Once there, I found the shoreline to be pretty trash strewn, yet it was otherwise pretty pleasant with a nicely forested bank. As far as the northeast corner of the dam, it appeared to contain a marsh-like area (although I again lost my nerve and didn't get too close – I just didn't know exactly what to expect).
Meanwhile, I
didn't forget to keep an eye on what was happening across the way.
Apparently the ships come up to lock gate, and once all is clear the gate
is lifted and they enter into an inner chamber which will then lower them to the
same level as exists on the opposite side of the dam. I
watched as the

that this section of river has roads which follow it for its entire length –

Just inside its mouth there's a beautiful riverboat casino - the Miss Belterra - part of the Belterra Casino complex which contains the tallest building for miles, a hotel. Now I think I made it back into Dans about 200 – 300 yards, but to be honest I lost track of my paddle count. I was distracted both by the boat and by the spectacular swan I encountered in the back of this stream!

The ramp on the
other side belongs to the Smugglers Cove Marina, formerly Dans (this Dan must
have been quite a guy – there was a ramp and a creek named after him!).
Smuggler's Coves' website is

here with a convenience store and BP gas station. Seems
Anyway, this
cove spreads in a few directions, but I headed back and to the right, eventually
reaching a "T" about 1 ¼ miles in. There were 2 low bridges
back here, just negotiable to
the paddler but a bit too low for a power boat. Both were
navigable too, but I didn't have enough time. I opted for the
one on the right -
After you negotiate the bridge on this one you'll be in a totally different environment. Compared with all the boats and houses you'll have seen to this point, it looks much more like a wilderness back here. It also branches again, so just to be consistent I headed to the right, soon finding myself in a very low lying area where the houses had returned.
"Hmmm… This is getting a little too up close and personal." I thought. "I think it's time to head back now!" And so, once I'd gotten to the end of the other (unnamed) branch, I encountered a beautiful environment...
I also had a meeting with a pretty bold little turtle that held its' ground long enough for me to get some less than perfect pictures…

I also met what I believe was an osprey in this section. These birds are simply amazing the way they fish! You'll catch them out of the corner of your eye as they swoop down from whatever tree they've been perched upon and hit the water – hard! – to grab their prey. You'd think they might hurt themselves hitting the water so heavily, but it's quite a spectacle.
Last up –
…and I also thought the fallen tree below made for an interesting sight…
This cove gets really shallow at the furthest point and the fish were really enjoying it. In fact, all it seems you'd need is a canoe or kayak and a net! They were jumping all around me. Even the ones I couldn't see left telltale swooshes of mud in the water.
emerging back onto the Ohio from the other side of the "A", I was intrigued by
the sight of a little pier out in the middle of nowhere and I crossed back to
the Kentucky side at about the same point I did last time, across from a really
grand house. I got back to
The ramp and park look pretty safe, by the way, but I did notice a certain element which might be of concern if you arrive solo much later than that. I say might because my instincts as far as people's tendencies are usually wrong. As always, however, pick your spots and be please careful out there – bring a phone too.

text: Asking Price: $3,695 Pictures coming up tomorrow (Friday March 6, 2009) The truck is a 1997 Ford F-150 2WD Regular Cab 8 Bed, with a new (10K miles) 4.2L V6, and automatic overdrive transmission. The truck has 140K miles, but only 10K miles on the new engine. AM/FM cassette stereo, vinyl interior, rubberized floor, Timbren suspension system front and rear, rugged tires, plastic bed liner, and Bosch icon wiper blades. Oil changed every 1,500-2,000 miles or every 6 months since new engine. Transmission fluid changed 6K miles ago, rear differential fluid changed 6K miles ago. New alternator installed July 2008. Front brakes replaced 12K miles ago, which included pads, calipers, rotors, and brake system flush and refill with new fluid. Fram Airhog reusable air filter installed 4K miles ago, comes with two cleaning kits. New spark plugs and wires installed 12K miles ago. The truck recently passed inspection in October of 2008. I consistently see 15-16 miles to the gallon around town, with anywhere from 18-22 mpg on the highway. I am selling it because I purchased a new truck. I am the second owner, and I have had it for three years now. It has been in no accidents of any kind, and driven conservatively. It is well maintained; I did all of the regular maintenance myself. This truck runs and drives fine, I have fixed every problem immediately, and there are no current mechanical problems with the truck. There is one minor problem with the turn signal switch, but it can be replaced for about $60. I will show you when you test drive it, the turn signals work fine though. I have faith in this truck and I would drive it anywhere in the country without hesitation. There is some body rust above the passenger rear wheel well, and a little bit coming through at the front of the box on the same side. There is also some frame rust, on average with trucks this age that I have seen. The engine was replaced in August of 2007, 4 months after I bought it, due to a leaking head gasket, which caused hydro-lock by filling the #2 cylinder with coolant one night. When I started it the next morning, it broke a connecting rod and I had to have the engine replaced. Asking price of $3,695.

It's no surprise that 20 to 30 somethings in America are beginning to get fed up with the political climate at hand. For nearly their entire lives politicians and special interest groups alike have all but ignored their existence on just about every level. In fact, the only thing society has seemed to focus on when considering the importance of "Generation Y" (or the Millennials as they are also called) is their pocketbooks. Seen mostly as hedonistic and highly apathetic "consumers", who's idea of planning for the future was at best a bachelors degree in whatever Arts or Humanities field happened to catch their attention freshman year; this generation as a whole has struggled to emerge from behind the harsh stereotypes that it willfully inflicted upon itself.
Much of this struggle is placed on the shoulders of tens of thousands of unemployed or underemployed college graduates. Each with mounds of student loans they will never be able to pay off, no health insurance and a job that, if they're lucky, pays enough for them to "get by". This job is probably the one they secured to help pay their way through college in the first place, sticking them with relatively little real-world experience outside of that field. This wouldn't have been the case had they chose to participate in any number of internships while in college, but lets face it, who can afford to work for free when you've got to worry about paying rent and keeping the electricity turned on?
In many ways this is our own fault. We should have known what we were getting into beforehand. As 18 year old kids we should have had the foresight to better plan for our own future. We should have noticed that many of our parents didn't go to college simply because they couldn't afford it. We should have realized that if we didn't want to struggle throughout our twenties and probably well into our thirties, we would need to start our "careers" straight out of high-school, just as our parents had. We should have realized this and taken the safe road. But we didn't.
For some reason we thought attending college was important. Maybe it was because every teacher and authority figure we had ever come across reiterated this fact seamlessly and without hesitation. Maybe it was the plethora of after school specials and post He-Man "morals of the story" that told us that we really didn't have a choice. Either way, we all knew that if we wanted to make anything of our lives, college was the most important step.
For some reason we also refused to work jobs that we genuinely hated and spent much more time focusing on ourselves, than we spent worrying about the world around us. This realization would be un-excusable if not for the fact that we did so in our youth. We did so un-apologetically and for the most part un-intentially, but did so as kids. This is important because that focus on self (which includes a strong connection with our direct peers) largely shaped the culture of our generation. We care deeply about our own happiness, but realize that much of that is dependent on the happiness of those around us. It made us who we are collectively and I think paved the way for the voice that our generation would eventually develop.
You don't have to look far to realize the political climate is changing within our generation. The Occupy movement that swept the nation almost exactly three months ago is a perfect example. Starting initially on message boards and in closed chat rooms, the idea of speaking out against government corruption and the flow of money into and out of the political process, unexpectedly united millions of American youth in a common cause. A cause that eventually lead them to the streets in protest in over 100 cities across the nation, for weeks on end.
For the first time in my life kids all across America were standing together crying foul. Finally calling out the very leaders and institutions that had previously ignored them for over two decades.
Although it is unclear what the Occupy movement has accomplished politically at this point, one thing that cannot be denied is the passion and the ingenuity it's participants have shown. An entire generation of kids raised on the internet with unparalleled social networking expertise, graphic design skills and an untapped potential for activism (not to mention plenty of time on their hands to utilize it). These kids can mobilize in an instant and can do so with unsurpassed charisma.
Another example of youth activism was in the news a few days ago. SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) was being voted on in Congress. The bill is highly backed by corporations who feel that their bottom lines are being effected by sites like mega-upload and others. The bill would essentially give corporations and government agencies the unchecked power to censor what is on the internet by shutting down any sites that they feel are infringing on copyrighted material. It faced strong criticism from experts representing companies like google and facebook who say that it could essentially kill the internet as we know it.
This sparked an internet campaign from thousands of concerned youth across the globe, causing a standstill in congress and successfully postponing the vote on the bill. Although the battle is not completely won, there is one thing that can't be denied. A few thousand kids, armed only with the internet, literally halted legislature in congress in just a matter of days.
This is encouraging news if like me, you've been anticipating a collective voice to emerge among our generation. After-all, we have plenty of common causes to get behind. We have student loans owned by banks that received billions of dollars in bail-outs, yet congress fought tooth-and-nail to stop a loan consolidation program that would lower our interest rates. We have the highest unemployment rates of any age group and the highest number of uninsured. We care deeply about issues like the environment, yet don't care at all if our homosexual friends want to get married. We want science and technology to again be a mainstay of American education, but we also want our children to be able to enter those fields without going into debt for the rest of their lives at the same time. Most of all, we want elected officials to represent our views and to do so without having to be paid off in the process.
So, what are we doing to make these things known?
On the National level you have candidates like Ron Paul, who's base is primarily college aged kids who are fed up with bipartisan bickering and idolize his no-nonsense approach to politics. You also have a slew of disenfranchised youth who backed the Obama campaign in '08 and are dis-satisfied with his actions thus far, many of whom have made that point well known. All of this with a Presidential election less than a year away and at a time when the public knows that American youth are willing and able to take to the streets in support of their cause.
But aren't there more pressing issues, issues that are closer to home that we should be focusing on as well?
At the state level (in Oklahoma) we have a highly conservative congress that has put things like the "Sharia-Law bill", "health-care opt-out bill", "voter registration bill", multiple anti-abortion bills and countless other frivolous and inappropriate pieces of legislation at the very top of their agenda. They do so with complete disregard to the legality or the over-all effectiveness of these bills, simply because they can. Simply because no-one has the power or political will to stop them.
On the local level (in Tulsa) we have a City Council and Mayor who can't seem to collaborate on anything. We have a highly progressive downtown culture that can't get funding for bike lanes or mass transit, but can somehow give tax incentives and "vision 2025" handouts numbering in the millions, to property owners who continue to sit on some of the largest and most economically viable buildings in the city. Many of which have surprisingly been "under construction" for close to a decade. We have business owners in positions of political power that need to be checked and rechecked daily to ensure the best is being done for those who actually live in the neighborhoods these people were elected to represent. Each of these things very important and right under our noses.
I touch on them only to show that most of us, most of the 20 to 30 somethings in this city, probably don't agree with the way our elected officials are representing us on many levels. Up until now they have had no reason to listen to us, essentially because none of us were talking. But that has to change. It's time to start talking.
Last week I wrote about Senator Inhofe as did many others across the state. He currently holds the First Congressional Districts Federal Senate seat and will be up for re-election in 2014. He may or may not choose to run (he'll be 79), but either way that election will be an opportunity that we cannot pass up.
As a U.S. Senator he holds one of the most powerful positions in our government. That means replacing him with someone who is willing to listen to the voice of American youth could be a great opportunity for our generation to make a difference on a national level.
It just so happens that we have a couple of young representatives in our State-House that may be perfect for the job.
Eric Proctor, a Democrat from Oklahoma's 77th House district is one of the youngest State Representatives to ever be elected. He was actually a high-school class-mate of mine and is an all around great person. He's always been active in the community and was a history teacher before getting elected. Although I stand behind most of his policies, he may be a bit too young for a Federal Senate seat.
Seneca Scott may be a much more viable candidate for us to consider. He is also a young Democratic State Representative from Tulsa, who has been representing the 72nd district since 2008. He's a graduate from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in History and a background in Native American Studies. If you've ever met him, you know he is an articulate speaker and genuinely nice guy. More importantly, he is a young progressive who loves Tulsa as much as we do. I think with the right support he could be exactly what we need at the Federal level.
I understand that the U.S. Senate may be a lofty goal, but we have 3 years to work on it. In the meantime we have a Presidential election, City Council meetings, School Board elections and any number of other civic duties available to hone our skills and develop our voice.
These issues may seem complicated and my views a bit too idealistic, but in the end my reason for writing this is simple.
The political process in this country has become diluted with lobby groups and partisan politics on a level that has made it almost completely ineffective. Those who have retained power for the majority of our lifetime have done so with complete disregard to the issues that directly affect our generation as a whole. Education, health-care, inner city infrastructure and poverty, all have taken a back seat to various wars. Wars on drugs and on countries. Wars between insurance lobbyists and pharmaceutical companies. Various wars that are paid for and fought by kids like you and I, yet are not in any of our best interests. It is time that we recognize this simple fact and take steps to prove that our generation has the numbers, the education and the leverage needed to become a viable political force. To prove that our generation has a collective voice…and that we are willing to use it.

Brigham City, city, seat of Box Elder county, near Bear River Bay of Great Salt Lake, northern Utah, U.S., at the foot of the Wasatch Range, 21 miles (34 km) north of Ogden. Settled in 1851 by Mormons, most of whom were immigrants from Denmark, it was named in 1877 for the Mormon leader Brigham Young. A shipping and processing centre for products (fruits, wheat, and beets) of surrounding irrigated farmlands, the city also manufactures aircraft parts and textiles. The city grew rapidly after the mid-1950s, when these industries arrived. Peach Days, a harvest festival, has been held annually since 1904. Brigham City is the site of the Intermountain Inter-Tribal School (1950, a boarding school for Indians), and the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is nearby. The Golden Spike National Historic Site (commemorating the linking of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads) is 30 miles (48 km) west. Inc. 1867. Pop. (2000) 17,411; (2010) 17,899.

Trade and migration with renewable natural resources : out-of-steady-state dynamics
Commodity price increases associated with the entry of China, India, and other countries into the world economy have led to increased pressure on common-property renewable natural resources. The problem is particularly worrisome for economies that obtain a large share of their income from the exploitation of natural resources in the production of an exportable commodity. This paper contributes to the analysis by examining the issue in the framework of a general equilibrium dynamic model and by solving for both the steady state and the transition dynamics. The authors show that i) a resource-rich, capital-poor economy is more likely to be subject to a"natural resource curse"and complete (irreversible) depletion of natural resources; ii) the latter's likelihood rises with the relative commodity price and labor inflow; iii) a labor inflow under internal equilibrium results in a higher steady-state capital-labor ratio and manufacturing output, and unchanged natural resources and commodity output; iv) import and export taxes result in larger steady-state natural resources and commodity output and smaller capital stock and manufacturing output, and may prevent complete depletion of natural resources; and v) the latter may also be prevented through capital inflows (foreign aid), labor outflow ( liberalization of the North's immigration policy), improved regulation, technical change, and a production tax.
