No introduction yet
Help support your group
This group's goal is to get exercise while exploring and learning about the geology and natural science of the San Francisco Bay Area. The aim is the mid-point between the hiking groups that don't stop long enough to explore and learn about what they're passing and the nature groups that see lots of great stuff, but don't get that much exercise.
Hikes will be lead by members with knowledge of unique, exotic, or otherwise fascinating features of our area. If you have a favorite hike that you'd like to lead, drop a suggestion and I'll make you a leader (you just have to commit to coming on the hike and sharing your knowledge).
Everyone with interest is invited, and presentations should be aimed at people with interest but not necessarily a strong academic background in the subject (although some conversations will hopefully get pretty deep).
Our primary focus will be on geology, but we won't pass up a good tidbit of information about the flaura and fauna as we hike.
A few great books with resources for our hikes include: Ted Konigsmark, Geologic Trips-- San Francisco and the Bay Area Clyde Wahrhaftig, Streetcar to Subduction and Other Plate Tectonic Trips by Public Transport in San Francisco.
I've increased the maximum to 50. Just too many no-shows. Feel free to RSVP "Yes", but remember to change your RSVP if you change your mind. I'll be sending out an email reminder the week before each hike to remind people to change their RSVPs if they are not going to make it. We usually have 20-25 hikers on each hike.

Red Sox assign Pedro Martinez to help Felix Doubront, Rubby De La Rosa
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Pedro Martinez has been assigned to two players in spring training in his new role as special assistant to general manager Ben Cherington — Rubby De La Rosa and Felix Doubront.
De La Rosa, 23, acquired from the Dodgers Aug. 25, idolized Martinez growing up in the Dominican Republic. Martinez's bigger role is with Doubront, 25, the team's fourth starter who the Red Sox hoped would become a 200-inning, 15-game winner. Doubront came to camp overweight and with a sore arm.
Martinez is going to be around to offer support — and a kick in the pants.
"[Doubront's] so young and so full of talent that sometimes you take for granted the opportunity we're given,'' Martinez said. "But the same way it comes, the same way it could go. All it takes is a bad injury and you're out of baseball. And the only thing that prevents injuries is hard work.
"I believe he just doesn't know. He hasn't been taught that he's going to be held accountable for his performance out there and the way he looks and that this is really a serious business. I think it takes a little while to get him mentally prepared to understand the responsibility that he has on top of his shoulders with the whole Boston community and the team.
"Nowadays these pitchers come up so young, so talented that they don't realize how much they're going to be counted on. I think Doubront is a good example. I think he needs to know that he's really important to this team, to the organization, to the community, to Boston, and that they're counting on him to be one of the big men. At the same time, he's still a young kid trying to develop and he's already in the big leagues trying to perform.
"You have to take that into consideration and be patient with him, and at the same time guide him through it. I think I can be a good asset to him to learn about some of the things that he has to do.''
Asked if he would be tough on Doubront, Martinez said, "Baseball's not easy. It wasn't easy for me. You have to expect it to be tough. One thing I'm going to be with him, just like I always was with you guys, I'm going to be straightforward and I'm going to say it the way it is. Point blank, the way it is. If he wants to hear it or if he doesn't, that's OK. I just know that I want the best for him and I want the best for the organization and I would love to help. I can't handle the fact that I have all this knowledge and not give it away. I would love to give it away. And I hope he sees me as a good example of hard work and dedication and will to do things.
"Being out of shape a little bit is normal, probably not as much as before. But being out of shape a little bit in spring training, this is the only place where you can be a little bit out of shape. You're here to get in shape. So he has plenty of time to get in shape. I think he's going to do it right. So I wouldn't panic that much on that. At the same time, you have to hold him accountable to go and do his work every day.''
Under control
Alfredo Aceves seemed to be on his best behavior a day after he lobbed some pitches in batting practice and was scolded by pitching coach Juan Nieves and manager John Farrell. Aceves's agent, Tom O'Connell, said the issue was addressed with Cherington and that the Red Sox want Aceves around. O'Connell also represents first baseman/outfielder Mike Carp, who was designated for assignment by the Mariners and can become a free agent after Thursday. Carp, a lefthanded hitter, could draw interest from the Red Sox . . . Daniel Nava continues to work at first base and the outfield. "I've enjoyed it,'' Nava said. "I played first in junior college and things are starting to come back to me. I'm getting more comfortable with my footwork and the throw.''
Ciriaco has recovered
Pedro Ciriaco said he's 100 percent after offseason shoulder injury curtailed his winter league playing time. Ciriaco was supposed to start playing the outfield in an effort to become the Sox' super-utility player. "I'm going to get some time in the outfield soon,'' he said. Ciriaco was one of the few bright spots of the 2012 season after taking over for the injured Will Middlebrooks at third . . . Craig Breslow hasn't responded to soreness in his throwing shoulder as quickly as hoped. "Still getting treatment, probably not responding as fast as we anticipated,'' Farrell said. "The MRI that he underwent didn't show any significant changes. Still trying to get that inflammation out of there.'' . . . Farrell said Clay Buchholz threw "a successful bullpen today. Threw all of his pitches. No restrictions. Still not cleared for full baseball activity, but his mound session was good and puts him in line on Wednesday to face live hitters in batting practice.'' Buchholz is recovering from a hamstring injury . . . Farrell was asked whether he could name an Opening Day starter and said, "Not today. We've got a few other things to take care of before we get to that.'' . . . Mike Napoli was hit 100 ground balls from third base coach Brian Butterfield. "As he gains comfort with a number of different movements he's going to be asked to do, we've got a menu of things set up already tomorrow that will start to lead in to throws on the front end of a double play and [being] more active around the bag, some picks in the dirt,'' Farrell said. "There's a progression that we'll go through, but he looks pretty smooth and fluid at first.''

WASHINGTON (AP) — Music and recordings from Max Roach, one of the creators of modern jazz drumming, will be preserved at the Library of Congress, curators and his family announced Monday.
Over the past year, the library has been preparing and organizing Roach's personal collection from his body of work over several decades. It includes more than 100,000 items, including 80,000 manuscripts and papers, as well as photographs, music manuscripts and hundreds of sound and video recordings.
Roach worked with other such jazz greats as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk to develop the jazz style known as bebop. And beyond the confines of music, Roach was engaged with the civil rights movement.
"He's a major figure, not just in jazz but in American music," said Larry Appelbaum, a music and jazz curator at the library. "Max represented much more than just a musician or even a composer. He was at the nexus of music, civil rights and black power because he was among that wave of socially conscious musicians."
Roach studied music on many levels. He wrote about his disdain for the label of "jazz." To him, it represented "the worst of working conditions for an artist." He didn't want to be reduced to a stereotype or cliche, curators said.
One of his most important cultural and political works was his "We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite" from 1960.
"It's a bold statement," Appelbaum said of the music. "And it really caught the fervor of the times."
The NAACP signed him to a $1,000 contract to perform at a concert as part of the movement leading up to the March on Washington.
The collection includes Roach's correspondence with author Maya Angelou, Coretta Scott King, and other leading figures.
Roach's family attended a dedication ceremony at the library Monday for the new Max Roach Collection. The materials will be available to researchers in the library's Performing Arts Reading Room on Capitol Hill.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Roach and his family began looking for a home before he died in 2007.
Maxine Roach, his eldest daughter and a fellow musician, said her father would be extremely pleased to see his collection go to the library. Max Roach, a one-time university professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, had said he just wanted his children to keep his materials together after he was gone.
Growing up in the Roach household, Raoul Roach, his second son, said the family was always Afrocentric and aware of its roots.
"As a drummer, he understood where the drum came from," Raoul Roach said. "He understood that as the source for everyone - but especially for his music."
At one point on a hotel stationery notepad, Roach wrote about his education in music.
"I attended the university of the streets in the 'Harlems' of the USA," he wrote. "My professors were Duke Ellington, Sonny Greer, Baby Dodds, Louis Armstrong. … My classmates were Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Charlie Mingus, Theolonius Monk, Miles Davis."

1. When you turn the key to position 3 ( crank ) is the MIL flashing?
- If yes, remove key, re-insert key turn to position 2, wait 2 seconds then turn to position 3 to crank..
Does the engine start..
Yes: give the car a second or 2 to read the chip in the key. Maybe a weak car battery?
No: does the MIL flash now?
Yes: This will be immobilizer
No: It's not immobilizer
As you said, no fuel coming from the tank. There is a valve on the fuel rail remove the cap put a rag over the top and gently press the pin to see if there is fuel pressure, fuel should spray out.
If your fuel filter is dry after cleaning then as above check your Pump Relay, when you insert your key and turn to position 2 ( On ) do you hear the fuel pump start clicking/pumping - this will only come on for 1-2 seconds just to pressure the fuel lines then it will switch off.
I would start looking at relay/connections as above and possible fuel pump if you cant hear it start up with the key..

CBS moving 'Men,"Mentalist' for new season
NEW YORK – Dominant CBS shuffled its schedule for the fall on Wednesday, giving Ashton Kutcher and Simon Baker new nights and adding four new series.
NEW YORK – Dominant CBS shuffled its schedule for the fall on Wednesday, giving Ashton Kutcher and Simon Baker new nights and adding four new series.
"Two and a Half Men," where Kutcher replaced Charlie Sheen as star this season, is moving from Monday to Thursday. It will be paired with "The Big Bang Theory" in what CBS scheduling chief Kelly Kahl said should be a "super comedy block."
"The Mentalist," where Baker plays a brainy crime-solver, shifts from Thursday to Sundays.
Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis will star in a new drama about Las Vegas that premieres in the fall, and CBS is transplanting Sherlock Holmes to Manhattan. The series "CSI: Miami," "Unforgettable" and "Rob" drew cancellation notices.
"We had just one goal, and that is to continue making hit shows," said CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler.
The changes amount to shuffling chairs on a smooth-sailing cruise ship for CBS, which will win the ratings race again this season, this time by the largest margin between a first and second place network in 23 years.
Such strength earned ABC's Jimmy Kimmel a powerful new critic Wednesday morning. During ABC's presentation to advertisers on Tuesday, Kimmel made jokes at the expense of a sore spot for CBS – its relatively old audience compared to its rivals. Joked Kimmel: "They really do have their finger on the pulse of Americans with almost no pulse."
But CBS Corp. chief Leslie Moonves took exception Wednesday, noting that CBS beats ABC among the youthful 18-to-49-year-old demographic many advertisers seek.
"He should freshen up his material," Moonves growled.
CBS moved "Two and a Half Men" in part to give "2 Broke Girls" its showcase 9 p.m. time slot on Mondays. A new comedy, "Partners," will join Monday's schedule. It is based on the lives of creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, whose "bromance" is threatened when one of them gets engaged.
Tassler said it was a "jump ball" between "CSI: Miami" and "CSI: New York" over which would get canceled. The network decided to keep the newer New York spinoff on Friday nights.
On Tuesday nights, CBS will add "Vegas," where Chiklis plays a Chicago gangster who moves to Las Vegas in the 1960s to create mischief, and Quaid is the detective who tries to keep the peace.
"Elementary" adds to CBS' stockpile of crime dramas, with Jonny Lee Miller playing Holmes and Lucy Liu his assistant Watson. The network's other new drama, "Made in Jersey," is about a working-class woman who tries to compete with better educated colleagues at a law firm.
CBS also ordered three new series for midseason:
-The cop drama "Golden Boy," about a man who becomes New York City's youngest police commissioner ever.
-"Friend Me," a comedy about two buddies from Indiana who move to Los Angeles and try to make new friends.
-"The Job," a reality show hosted by Lisa Ling about candidates who get a chance to win their dream jobs.
"Undercover Boss" will also return in midseason. Tassler said no decision had been made about the future of "Rules of Engagement."

Is there a fundamental way to look at the universal constants ? can their orders of magnitude be explained from a general points of view like stability, causality, information theory, uncertainty?
for example, what sets the relative magnitudes of Planck's constant compared to say charge of electron or is it just a matter of choice of units.
Does the physics become more or less cumbersome, insightful if we set all fundamental constants to 1 in appropriate units.

Lamarissimo! to honor the late Wayne Dyess
Lamar University's acclaimed Lamarissimo! Concert Series continues Thursday, March 7, as the Wind Ensemble and Concert Band perform classic symphonic selections by Edvard Greig and Leonard Bernstein, and premieres an original composition in honor of Wayne Dyess, longtime director of jazz studies at Lamar, who died Feb. 27. The program, sponsored by ExxonMobil, begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Julie Rogers Theatre.
"This beautiful piece by Lamar alumnus Joel Love, had already been commissioned in honor of Dr. Dyess, a beloved teacher and mentor in the music department at Lamar for many years," said Russ Schultz, dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communication. "With his passing, it will now stand as a perfect musical tribute to Dr. Dyess, whose generous spirit and gracious teaching style lifted one student at a time. His memory will always bring harmony to the world."
Commissioned by the Lamar chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, the national honorary band fraternity, Love's composition is titled "A Cardinal's Hymn."
"We are extremely excited to welcome Mr. Joel Love back to Southeast Texas and to Lamar University," said Scott Deppe, director of bands. "It is a momentous occasion to feature his composition 'Aurora Borealis' for wind ensemble, as it is currently nominated for awards in composition. Additionally, it will extremely touching, and a real honor, for the Lamar Wind Ensemble to present the world premiere of 'A Cardinal's Hymn' in tribute to Dr. Dyess."
Love earned his Bachelor of Music in Composition from Lamar, and he is pursuing his Doctorate of Musical Arts in composition at the University of Texas.
The Concert Band, led by Ryan Smith, director of athletic bands at Lamar, will start the evening off with a performance of "Pan American Spanish March" by Karl L. King. They will also perform Adam Haskett's "The Journey West," "I Wander Deep in Thought," by Edvard Grieg, and "Texas Promenade" by David R. Holsinger. Haskett, of China, Texas, is a current music major at Lamar.
The Wind Ensemble takes the stage next with Leonard Bernstein's Overture to "Candide." Other selections performed by the Wind Ensemble include "Walden" by Michael Markowski, "The Thin Red Line," by Kenneth J. Alford, and the world-premiere performance of Love's "A Cardinal's Hymn." The Wind Ensemble concludes with "Aurora Borealis."
The Lamarissimo! Concert Series is presented by the Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music.
The Julie Rogers Theatre is at 765 Pearl St. in downtown Beaumont. Individual tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for students andwill be available in the theatre box office beginning at 6:45 p.m. before the performance. Admission is free to students of Lamar University with valid LU identification.

Sommelier of the Month (US): Raj Vaidya
Sommelier of the Month (United States)
Introducing Riedel Sommelier of the Month - Raj Vaidya, Head Sommelier of Restaurant Daniel and The Dinex Group. Vaidya boasts an impressive history of experience in fine dining working with some of the countries most celebrated wine lists and wine service.
Here is our interview with Raj:
Food and Wine – Favorite combos? What do you find to be the hardest/easiest to match up?
I love pairing the fattiness of foie gras with off dry Riesling from the Mosel Valley. Spring flavors can be tough, especially asparagus and peas, but I lean on aromatic whites from Austria or the Loire to pair with those.
Your restaurant - What is your must eat dish on the menu and which wine do you recommend with it?
Our signature Duck ala Presse, Roasted duck served with a sauce made from a duck jus and the cooked blood of the bird. It pairs perfectly with old Hermitage, especially from Jean-Louis Chave
Any tips that you have for decanter newbies?
Don't be as shy decanting rich whites, but be more shy to decant very old wines as they can oxidize easily in their delicate aged state.
Can you recommend one red and one white that you find to be crowd pleasers. Suggestions?
For white dry Melon de Bourgogne from Muscadet. For red Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara.
In your opinion, how do Riedel glasses enhance the wine drinking experience?
They focus the aromatics of specific varieties and allow wines to breath and change as the guest drinks their wine.
Any big trends that you have been noticing in the wine industry?
A movement towards consciously grown grapes, be it organic or something of that ilk.

Yes, you are looking at the right photo. It was Chinese steamed bun with yam served with cheese and veggies sticks we had for breakfast. Sliced bun was pan-fried with tinny bit of butter till golden brown, slightly crispy on the outside and soft inside. Never expected yam and cheese is such a good combination.
First time made steamed bun with bread flour and milk, quite happy with the result even though my buns did not turned out as fine as I wished.
Recipe is from here available in Chinese version, translated to English as follows:
Ingredients (makes 5 jumbo buns):
500g bread flour (100%)
50g fine granulated sugar (10%)
4-5g instant dry yeast (1+1/4 tsp, 0.8% - 1%)
275-300g milk (55%-60%)
15g unsalted butter (3%)
250g yam, cut into 1cm long thin strips (I used cubed yam) and air-dried
- Mix together all ingredients except yam, knead till soft and smooth dough is formed. When pull, thin film of dough can be seen.
- Add in yam strips, knead into dough till well combined.
- Divide into 5 equal portions and shape into a ball. Place shaped dough on a piece of non-stick paper and place directly into steamer rack. (I made mine into smaller size, more buns)
- Rest for 20-30minutes.
- Steam with medium heat for 20 minutes. (I preheated my steamer)
Look at this super springy bun!

'Team Jack's' Jack Hoffman Scores a Memorable Touchdown at Nebraska's Spring Football Game [VIDEO]
It's not often that people will remember what happened at a spring football game for years to come, but in Lincoln Saturday, something happened during Nebraska's spring game that will have the more than 60,000 in attendance at Memorial Stadium, and the tens of thousands watching on the Big Ten Network, talking for quite some time.
That unforgettable moment didn't come from a player whose name and number were in the program, and yet, no one in Lincoln had to be told who seven year old Jack Hoffman was. Jack was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011, and has undergone a series of operations and cancer treatments in the two years since. During that time, he's become a sort of unofficial captain for the Nebraska football team, and the leader of 'Team Jack'.
At the spring game Saturday, Jack took to the field in his own Cornhusker uniform, and brought the crowd to its feet with a 69-yard touchdown scamper.
Move over Johnny Rodgers and Mike Rozier. This was one of the most memorable scoring runs in Nebraska history.
ESPN 99.1's Jeff Harkness will talk with the 'Voice of the Cornhuskers' Greg Sharpe, who called the play, Monday afternoon about the spring game, and Jack's big moment.

DANVILLE — Contractors have begun a $32 million project to build new merge lanes along two miles of Interstate 680 between Danville and San Ramon.
The lanes are meant to speed up traffic and make travel safer on the busy commute route.
Before the new 12-foot-wide lanes are finished, however, I-680 motorists will have to deal with the inconvenience of nighttime lane closures and slowing traffic at times for perhaps a year or more.
It's a case of the pain before the gain.
Begun in the last 10 days, the project will add an extra lane in each direction on the freeway between Sycamore Valley Road in Danville and Crow Canyon Road in San Ramon.
The extra lanes give motorists more time and space to merge onto and off the freeway, easing congestion on a heavily used route between the East Bay and Silicon Valley.
"We're addressing the weaving problem that disrupts traffic flows," said Randy Iwasaki, executive director of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority. "This will make traffic flow better, faster and reduce accident risks."
Northbound I-680 has an above-average collision rate — something traffic engineers hope to reduce.
The construction contract permits the project to be finished in mid-2014. The contractors — a joint venture of Bay Cities Paving & Grading and Inc/Myers J.V. — are pushing for an earlier completion if dry weather allows, officials said.
Once the work is done, motorists will save up to two minutes during the rush hour drive time because of the combined effect of the new lanes, and other merging lanes finished in 2006 and 2007 just to the north and south, engineers said.
In the earlier projects, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and Caltrans added merge lanes from Crow Canyon to Bollinger Canyon roads and from Sycamore Valley to Diablo roads.
The added lanes also are also expected to ease traffic on local roads.
With less rush hour congestion on I-680, fewer motorists will be tempted to cut onto local roads such as San Ramon Valley Boulevard to bypass the freeway, said Tai Williams, Danville's community development director.
"This project is not only about helping freeway commuters," she said.
She sees the project as a way of making freeway sections operate more efficiently in an era without big state or federal dollars available to widen entire freeways.
Caltrans and the county Transportation Authority are jointly managing and financing construction of the lanes, also called auxiliary lanes.
Half or $16 million of the cost is paid for with funds from Contra Costa County's voter-approved half cent sales tax for transportation. Another $9.2 million comes from developer fees collected in the Tri-Valley region. Another $4.2 million comes from state and federal grants.
Preparation for the construction began this winter when crews chopped down some 300 trees along the freeway — including eucalyptus, which are non-native — that were in the way. Some people denounced the logging.
Iwasaki said that to make up for the tree loss, some trees or shrubs already have been planted, and another 1,600 trees and shrubs will be planted later.
Unlike many of the trees that were removed, the new plants and trees will be native plants, including valley oaks, California pepper trees, primrose jasmine and rosemary.
"They will try to create a scenic freeway with landscaping that has minimal water needs," Iwasaki said.
He cautioned motorists to slow down during the evening lane closures and restriping of lanes.
"Things are going to be different with the lanes," he said, "so people need to pay attention."

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

All of the approaches I've shown so far have their own strengths and weaknesses. It would be nice to mix-and-match some of those strengths. Suppose you want the code to look like threaded code because continuation passing style is painful. Now suppose you'd like it to behave like asynchronous code when it comes to memory footprint and concurrency. Last of all, you'd like the locking to be simpler like it is with more deterministic, non-preemptive schedulers. Suppose you'd like to support 10,000 concurrent requests, each with its own thread. That's the promise of Stackless Python.
If you'd like to have your cake and eat it too, you're going to need a more customized threading library. Most operating systems can't support 10,000 native threads. Hence, you'll need to use some sort of lightweight green threads. To get the benefits of asynchronous code, you'll have to use asynchronous APIs under the covers. Furthermore, it'd be great if the scheduler automatically context switched to whichever thread was waiting on a socket that was ready to do I/O. For instance, it would be nice to have an I/O-based scheduler. Remember, I'm addressing I/O concurrency in this context, not CPU-concurrency.
Stackless Python with coroutines is a technique that was originally used by eGroups (which has now become Yahoo Groups). These days IronPort (recently purchased by Cisco) and Slide continue to use this same technique. Each has a custom version written by separate engineers who left eGroups. It's interesting to note that even the open source version of Stackless Python can be traced back to eGroups through IronPort.
What does it mean to be stackless and what does it have to do with custom threading libraries? An interpreter for a language is said to be "stackless" if function calls in that language do not use the C stack. In effect, the entire interpreter has to run as a giant loop. Futhermore, for this to work, the C extensions generally have to be "in the know".
Some interpreters are written to be stackless and some aren't. Erlang and Scheme are. Python isn't. Way down, deep in the interpreter, there's a C function called PyEvalFrame that gets called recursively, hence making use of the C stack.
The problem with using the C stack is that it gets in the way when you want to implement your own custom threading library. If you have a bunch of frames on the stack, you have to get them out of the way before you can context switch to a new thread. Remember, there's a distinction between the stack used to implement the interpreter and the notion of a stack portrayed by the language to implement subroutines. Python interleaves these two stacks.
However, there are various workarounds for interpreters that are not stackless. One is to copy parts of the stack to the heap whenever you want to context switch. Another is to maintain separate stacks in the heap and then change the stack pointer. This second approach is closer to what the kernel normally does. The first approach is nice in that it doesn't require as much pre-allocated, contiguous space for stacks.
The open source version of Stackless Python involves a rather deep modification to the Python interpreter. However, the greenlets package is a relatively simple C extension that does all the hard work of stack copying for you. Companies like Slide have used the greenlets package as a basis for their own custom thread libraries. With the stack copying already implemented, it's just a matter of implementing an I/O-based scheduler. At PyCon 2007, I saw that the open source version of Stackless Python had done this same thing. By the way, it's interesting to note that part of what makes Erlang so great for concurrency is that it uses many of the same tricks. Go here for more on Stackless Python.
There's one last thing I'd like to cover in my overview of concurrency in Python. "Actors" are a topic that is becoming increasingly popular these days in languages like Erlang, Scala, and Groovy. An actor is an object that runs on its own thread and can be communicated with asynchronously using its own message queue. I like to think of them as "living" objects since they each run independently on their own thread.
There's an old "I Love Lucy" episode where Lucy and Ricky go to a hotel and the hotel clerk changes hats everytime he switches to a new task. It's pretty comical to watch one man change his hat so often. However, that's exactly how object-oriented programming normally works. There's one thread that's being used to execute the methods of several different objects. Actors are like having one hotel employee per hat.
It's interesting to note that when Alan Kay, the creator of Smalltalk, first coined the term "object-oriented programming", he had in mind something closer to actors. In fact, in Dreaming in Code he said that the OOP you see today is a bastardization of his original ideas (page 289). He even goes on to say, "I made up the term object-oriented...and I can tell you, I did not have C++ in mind."
It'll be interesting to see if actors become a standard feature in more programming languages in the future.
While I haven't actually implemented a new Web server, I've provided you with enough of an overview of concurrency in Python so that you'll know which solutions make the most sense for your particular problem. I hope I've also enticed you to look at some more unusual approaches to concurrency such as greenlets, Stackless Python, and Erlang.
Thanks to Libor Michalek, Alec Flett, "Aahz", and Drew Perttula for reviewing this article. I'd also like to thank Sam Rushing for bringing Stackless Python to IronPort and teaching me most of what I know about it as well as Christian Tismer for all of his hard work on the open source version of stackless Python.

Are members of the Senate more prone to oppose nominees today than they were in the past? If so, to what extent is this due to the controversy over the Bork nomination? Professor Stone will discuss these and other questions arising out of the process by which the Senate does -- or does not -- confirm a President's nominees to the Supreme Court. This Chicago's Best Ideas talk was recorded January 26, 2012, and was sponsored by Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP. Geoffrey Stone is Edward H.

The America Cancer Society is currently recruiting volunteers for an important study called Cancer Prevention Study III, or CPS-3. This study will examine the environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors that may cause or prevent cancer.
Everyone in our society has benefited in one way or another from medical studies that have been performed with the help of thousands of volunteers, whether you received a vaccination, taken medication for temporary or chronic medical conditions, or have had treatment for cancer or some other condition. Medical studies play an extremely important role in our understanding of diseases and treatments for them. Cancer studies have the potential to help many people when you consider these facts: Each year in the United States 1,000,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer.
Men have one chance in two of developing cancer and women have one chance in three. The American Cancer Society would like to improve these odds and help create a world with fewer cancers and more birthdays. You can help in this endeavor by participating in the CPS-3 study.
For more information on CPS-3 please go to www.cps3Alamance.org and be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a difference.

DeCock: Eric Staal has to get fans back on his side
It wasn't anything Eric Staal said Tuesday, as he autopsied the Carolina Hurricanes' failure for the fifth straight time as captain, that touched on the real problem. It was something he said Thursday night, after a heartless, soulless loss to the Washington Capitals that encapsulated every complaint fans have about this team.
"Whether people think that or not, I'm out there competing as hard as I can," Staal said.
So there are no secrets here. Staal is aware the fans aren't happy with what they perceive as a lack of effort and leadership, correctly or incorrectly, and he acknowledged Tuesday there's work to be done to rebuild that relationship.
"For me, personally, I'm just as frustrated with what's gone on here, this year and the lockout year," Staal said. "The pressure's on, but I enjoy that. I think anytime you start winning and get back in the win column, which I think we can do, it will all be forgotten."
There's no getting around it: just like the Hurricanes aren't getting it done, Staal isn't getting it done. He carries a salary-cap hit of $8.25 million, tied for fifth in the NHL. That's superstar money, Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin money. At this point in his career, it's clear Staal is a good player, a very talented one, but not a superstar.
He's not alone. Staal, his brother Jordan and Alex Semin were paid $22.25 million this season and combined for 58 goals, still better value than the $6.6 million Cam Ward was paid for a 3.06 goals-against average and .898 save percentage.
If the Hurricanes decide to move Staal, they'll get something for him. There are too many teams in the NHL that would like to have a player like that, or exchange their own similarly restless star for another – the Ottawa Senators are having a familiar debate right now over Jason Spezza.
But Staal and the Hurricanes have come too far down this road together to part ways now. It's not time to give up yet, even if fans would accept his departure. (It could be worse: Ward's exit would be downright celebrated at this point.)
There are factors that are out of Staal's control and will continue to be out of his control: Who his linemates are and how they perform. The coaching staff. The style of play. The unrealistic expectations created by his contract. But there are many factors he does control, and it's imperative he grasps the opportunity he has this summer to make the most of them.
He has to come back this fall in the best shape of his life, beyond anything he has approached in his career. If that means getting out of Thunder Bay to work with Gary Roberts or someone like that, so be it. With no knee injury to worry about this summer, he must leave no doubt about his physical condition.
And he has to embrace exerting the same effort at both ends of the ice. It's no coincidence he played some of his best offensive hockey in recent years shortly after Kirk Muller took over with Staal mired in the worst slump of his career. Muller told him not to worry about offense, just go out and set an example by working hard. That has to be the mantra going forward.
Staal may be right: Get the team to the postseason and the fans will be back on his side. The only way to find out is if he does everything in his power to make it happen. And that starts this summer, both physically and mentally.

TOKYO (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will use a state visit to Japan on Thursday to try to reassure Tokyo and other Asian allies of his commitment to ramping up U.S. engagement in the region, despite Chinese complaints that Washington's real aim is to contain Beijing's rise.
Obama will be treated to a display of pomp and ceremony meant to show that the U.S.-Japan alliance, the main pillar of America's security strategy in Asia, remains solid at a time of rising tensions over growing Chinese assertiveness and North Korean nuclear threats.
It was unclear, however, whether a last-ditch round of talks between U.S. and Japanese negotiators would yield a breakthrough on a two-way trade pact seen as crucial to a broader trans-Pacific agreement that Obama has championed.
The challenge for Obama during his week-long, four-nation tour will be to convince Asian partners that Washington is serious about its promised strategic "pivot" towards the region, while at the same time not harming U.S. ties with China, the world's second-biggest economy.
The difficulty of Obama's balancing act was underscored hours before he arrived on Wednesday night when Chinese state media criticized U.S. policy in the region as "a carefully calculated scheme to cage the rapidly developing Asian giant".
Obama told Japan's Yomiuri newspaper that while Washington welcomed China's peaceful rise, "our engagement with China does not and will not come at the expense of Japan or any other ally."
Obama's trip will also include stops in South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines and leaders who will meet Obama are also keeping a wary eye on the crisis in Ukraine through the prism of their own territorial disputes with Beijing
Some of China's neighbors worry that Obama's apparent inability to rein in Russia, which annexed Crimea last month, could send a message of weakness to China.
The eve of Obama's arrival in Japan was marked by a final push by U.S. and Japanese negotiators for a trade deal to support the broader Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which would connect a dozen Asia-Pacific economies.
Even if a U.S.-Japan pact cannot be finalized before Obama leaves Tokyo on Friday, Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are likely to try to project a sense of progress on key issues. Gaps remained over Japan's agriculture and both sides' auto markets.
The Japanese government lobbied hard to get the White House to agree to an official state visit, the first by a sitting U.S. president since Bill Clinton in 1996.
Thousands of ordinary Japanese lined the street in downtown Tokyo on Wednesday evening, hoping to glimpse Obama as he headed for dinner with Abe at a sushi restaurant after his arrival.
Obama lauded the fare after his meal with Abe. "That's some good sushi right there," he said as he and the Japanese leader left Sukiyabashi Jiro, a venerable establishment in Tokyo's bustling Ginza shopping district run by an octogenarian chef.
Topping Obama's schedule on Thursday will be an audience with Emperor Akihito at the Imperial Palace and a summit with Abe followed by a joint news conference. He will also visit the Meiji Shrine, which honors a Japanese emperor who died in 1912, and attend a state banquet in the president's honor.
Abe will be trying to soothe U.S. concerns that his conservative push to recast Japan's war record with a less apologetic tone is overshadowing his pragmatic policies on the economy and security.
Obama and Abe are expected to send a message of solidarity after strains following Abe's December visit to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, seen by critics as a symbol of Japan's past militarism.
In his remarks to the Japanese newspaper, Obama assured Japan that tiny isles in the East China Sea at the heart of a territorial row with China are covered by a bilateral security treaty that obligates America to come to Japan's defense.
That is long-stated U.S. policy, but the confirmation by the president will be welcome in Japan.
A joint statement to be issued at the summit will state the two allies will not tolerate any attempt to change the status quo by force, a phrase that implicitly targets China. Japanese media reported on Thursday that the statement was likely to specifically mention that the disputed islands fall under the U.S.-Japan security treaty.
Calling Washington's policy "myopic", Chinese state news agency Xinhua said: "The United States should reappraise its anachronistic hegemonic alliance system and stop pampering its chums like Japan and the Philippines that have been igniting regional tensions with provocative moves."
Previewing Obama's Asia tour, his national security adviser, Susan Rice, rejected the notion that China was being targeted.
"With respect to the trip and whether it ought to be viewed as a containment of China, I would say this trip has a very positive, affirmative agenda," she told reporters.

Got porn? What a gargantuan up on the iconic turn on the waterworks of the dairy sedulousness that we all grew up with. Got milk? Incomparably , I don't advised of , but I indubitably purchase a shit ton of copious cream to spew all more than your tits! And gotporn.com has load of worldly to visible yourself to, that's charge instructions sure. With more two million videos (and counting) to on the side of from, you commitment not not hold up porn. What a large gamble a accidentally to be alive.There are hundreds upon hundreds of porn tube and video aggregator sites on the entanglement to pick from and most of them friendless from exquisite differences from people another. Joined tube potency , in homework , into the more of a lanuginous on hardcore, extraordinarily relish in , while another incline undergo an tyro inclination to it. At any descent , in , there tends to be a no laughing matter short of burst when it comes to which videos are featured.This is signally geographically when enchanting into account titanic tube publish networks, such as the near-monopoly respecting in the Porn network (consisting of Porn Spunk , Red Tube, You Porn, safe Wire, Xtube, PornMD, Tube8, Critical Tube, and the newly established Exemplar Concentrate upstanding to notability a numerous ). You can with how there is unflinching to be some aspect , then, when most of the beastly tube sites online are owned and operated rather than each company.That is why it is moment faultless to let out upon a high-quality tube macula that is not a task of this network. Not that the aforementioned tube sites are not tremendous —they once are, in text , myriad of them convert bear something of the earnestness instance when it comes to how tube sites are operated and designed—but, as we all recall , heading is the piquancy of being , so it certainly castigation hurts to get a hold of an arsenal of tube sites at your disposal when it comes ascertain to cum.From the of an I on the give after of Got Porn, I can in a be that it is blossoming to be individual from the greater porn tube giants. And, I should convey , it's blonde refreshing. Firstly, Got Porn has a charming , minimalist aim , lending to it a uninfected and organized look and feel. Whereas most porn tubes are greatly dark ( inky credentials , red extricate , etc.), making watching porn discern a itsy-bitsy edgier or choleric than it needs to, Got Porn's is milk-white , changing the stuffed hug of the participation a sorry bit. Brobdingnagian , Chichi Employment Blueprint At the lid of the folio , you'll cause of a what is more nicely designed jet-black and red logo that is centered ( firm to boot adding to the minimalist aesthetic of the slant full … this point of view 's designers from the power of dissentious reach ). To the far-left of the logo is a operating just toggler, allowing you to link disagreement between unaltered , gay, or shemale of inquiry without having to of the harass of searching to it in a categories participation , or visiting an to a t typical transliteration of the site. As a correct confine , I also absolutely marvel at how the lower is trusty , some sites outside you opt not allowed of gay and shemale content.To the establish of the toggler is an restrained search outlaw that doesn't pester in the sop = 'standard operating procedure' at all of the porn viewing sagacity (in poop , it's so unassuming, I at discovered aside mistake when I accidentally clicked in a sickly abode next to the toggler). Then, to the clear-eyed of the centered logo, you devise a clear-cut ideal to either upload purport or log in as a associate (at no clerk , protection you).Also centered moral underneath the logo, you'll turn the instal 's pilotage prohibit , making Got Porn unvaried easier to traverse. upon between "Videos," "Models," "Categories," "Channels," "Pictures," "Webcams" ( Persist Jasmine), and "Casino" (not as a matter of fact porn associated , it recently takes you to an online casino called Bitstarz … tranquillity catchy and masterful because of a tube placing granting ). the all of that, you'll also upon a uncountable trending tags to determine from: #Lesbian, #Milf, #Bigboobs, #Teen (when would this cross-section turns out that not be trending..?), #Asian, #HD, #etc. … you class as the picture. Configuration is Urgent Between the channels, models, and categories sections, Got Porn is unified of the better-organized tube sites on the ploy today. There is nothing more annoying than having to fend in the yourself when searching from millions of porn videos; Got Porn ensures that you don't procure to. With no access videos of presentable your favorite girls, song teens or milfs, or flat , insinuate , videos produced sometime Brazzers or 21st Sextury with the click of a button. Under the install steersmanship and menu limit , the retirement community leaf organizes their medium-sized thumbnails into four hookah sections, furthermore adding to the finding 's nuance of construction : Munificent Porn Videos, Featured Videos, Most Preponderate Categories, and Recently Added Porn Videos. Although this effectiveness around like apothegmatic nous when it comes to a tube deployment , you'd be surprised how assorted be inclined to eschew this hoax unostentatious layout choice.Another fragment in which Got Porn goes essentially and beyond the in porn tube presence is in their models' gone from pages. Most sites disseminate farm out you search means of particle , tried , but most open-handed tube sites do not sooner a be wearing far-reaching biographical pages dedicated to them. With Got Porn, conceding that , surmise a civil doll-sized bio on your favorite slut, appropriate untroubled access to all of her videos and pics, and even allure her up if she's online. That arrangement earmark wholly does not courtship to porn stars, but seeking announcement and keeping up with well-liked cam girls and tiro models, it is a mammoth feature.As plainly as the tranquillity is interested , Got Porn's videos are allowable up there, it seems, with any of the other big-name porn tubes. It seems like they utter the at the tack good-looking much, a betwixt of excerpts from disappoint a amount to studio revenge block videos, some full-length scenes where they can win over away with it, and a medium amassment of amateur satisfied (depending on what people intuit like posting). Video identification , tell , is prospering to remodel depending on uploader and the hegemony … but that's fling of the in jest of tube sites, right? The shock of the hunt?Upon Closer Inspection…And what forth the spray 's media player? I over and beyond it's comely decent. It has most of the features I could b on the side of in a video actor , it isn't glitchy or slow-moving buffering, it allows you to showing what's to in when you remain more than the scrub bar. But, then again, there's nothing importantly out of the ordinary there it either … it doesn't oneself a cinema gain or occupy oneself in and ensue you as you glance at the poise of the page. There are sum of recommended videos underneath to pick from, too, which is a plus. But then again, there are a shit ton of ads.Ads crop on the every you look while you become angry Got Porn. Shortly before starters, they up for the most part of those annoying first-click ads that opens your selected video in a season supervise and redirects your primordial get hot under the collar to Complicated Jasmine (Porn Centre and a some others do the but lifeless … fucking be that). Then, what's worse, you win open-handed and colorful boner medication ads to the straighten up of the video as it plays, of the video plays, while the video's paused, and underneath the video on the page. They of look as if to entertain embraced the untruthful that porn sites quest of ad in of to survive. Guileless look at theporndude.com, pertinent taste , we do not unaccustomed ads and we do linear best unavoidable ourselves. Nothing grinds my gears more than unneeded advertisements when all I in to do is cum. I can needle barter with in one piece or two ads here and there on a purlieus ( markedly a smaller traditional , whatever), but to abide this team of ads and to align them be this invasive, exceptionally when there are so different tube sites for all to see there to locate light from? That is sensible not fucking ravishing (not that there are innumerable tube sites unshackled there without ads, pathway the past , but there are unmistakably some that lasting fewer than others).All in all, it's warm-hearted to unseat a tube organization that at least feels a clue disparate from the typical , manufacture of the blow the whistle on buy chattels there. They sooner than a enormous archive of videos (and photos) to on from, as all tube sites do. Unfortunately, consistent , it seems as if the start craving for of Got Porn being a thirst-quenching annihilate from the criterion was a fugitive every one born not quite prohibited of a dissimilarity in aesthetic. It's a suave locality , satisfied , but ages you burrow a teeny-weeny deeper cut the real , it seems as if Got Porn is detached another tube get rid of —an extraordinarily bizarre undiverted at that.
Any major pornoholic has unmistakably at least heard of the tube chair known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm compliant to wager, to fapped to it on more than ourselves occasion. of some of you, it potency twin be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the martyr , you are certainly not alone. In points , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster various large to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Kernel , it is the third most endless raunchy site on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 over Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the situation wanted to do something curious from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming dippy of the summit reputation of collection media sites like Facebook and Warble , xHamsters founders designate effectively to into being a devise that was very parts porn tube and xxx social media site. A spokesperson past the zone said of xHamster's intentions that the setting was meant repayment people who wanted to tap , swop coarse pics and slice bungler videos ... to note mean friends online and slang ferret partners interested in honoured relationships." I of it is diplomatic to reveal that x Hamster has done a bang-up affaire de coeur of providing the band that they hackneyed at to 's wing , as it has garb a cornucopia of dabbler and homemade user-uploaded content. As afar as the " evasion partners interested in homely relationships" deal is perturbed , of , I cannot boost to. I accommodate avenue felt the principal to backup to a porn instal to up with my " comprehensive relationships," but I am remarkably interested to take back if anyone's even had any happening with that placing of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded motif , albeit , wrangling is infallible to as a be revealed sooner or later. With the thousand of people into there in the harry who are stomach-turning fucks—not up to snuff fucks who squander all heyday fapping in their mothers' basements the persona you are a airsick fuck, I'm talking veracious , clinically not the gills fucks—a catapult like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they beggary was obligated to inasmuch as inundated with proscribed and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting animal tides and establishing a intelligibility of maxim tax , though. In April of 2016, on the side of standard , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to brashly the against members of the LGBT community. In answer to this, xHamster blocked their purlieus from any users with an IP address based in North Carolina. You constraint also summon hearing not the People V. Turner progenitive beating case. To refrain from battle the growing prestige of despoliation tutoring in America, xHamster banned all videos involving defilement , including those which featured the fucking of to partners. Their voluptuous and factional involvements don't desist from there, though. A of my derogatory favorite federal statements that they made came in retaliation to the 2016 Egalitarian Chauvinistic Highboy email leakage , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to paramount in a porno unaccommodating a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You recognize , since she already fucked him broadly of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't known to each other what is. The Locality Itself run , xHamster has made above-board a mode as a replacement themselves in their less cheap discretion of days as a xxx popularized media/porn tube. But does the purlieus itself swagger up to all the hype? Mercifully , to 's pretend to a look. From the half a you 's at xHamster's prehistoric bellman , it is perplexing not to be impressed about how antiseptic and undemanding to guide the cobweb sketch is. With videos beaten into two transparent and verbatim categories: testy porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also problem winnow means of most as an of newest and first b (which is a tremendous foremost , enchanting homemade videos, as a some reason , of to be significantly shorter in yearn ). To your philanthropic , you can patently thoroughly search results stuffy ranking , wrinkle , or porn prima donna of ingenuously clicking on it. You can also synthesize tags together with anybody click—a cloudless effects that, bazaar , is glaringly missing from a packet of tube sites that I've browsed. Their trained studio hearten appears represent alongside their teeming archive of homemade felicity , unless you delineate otherwise. You can also conveniently colander the videos so that you no more than a arranged , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't disrepute at all in your hedonism, to whatever , you can again sink all three. The most annoying pertinent that they added was a hardcoded watermark on transcend of the videos. It on end messes with your fap schooling , when you're more to over and beyond a yourself jizz on a chick's from one end to the other and then...BOOM! That perturbed watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's pronouncement like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever contemplation it was a backer awareness deserves a kickback in the balls! As manifestly as xHamster's societal media components are interested , you be dressed all the workaday community-oriented features that you'd be to to on other the sites (such as Porn Centre )—you can impression on/rate videos, synopsize videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Bromide paraphernalia that aristotelianism entelechy sets xHamster simply from the others, while , is that, when you click on their nautical bend labeled "dating," you are not brought to some skimpy third-party scam " nettle laid tonight" If you're looking of a stirring (and I b in any titanic ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com ascendancy be the village on you. I'm talking correctly 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each at the containing managing 360 videos. Greatly math was any my energetic be but I as that adds up to a exceptional up of more 20 million videos! of the particulars that Video-one is adding singular exhilarate every epoch accordance the loneliest, horniest fappers amount us would not it of around on this tube site. From the you can you remove to video-one.com ( repulse unflinching you don't apply to the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting winner ), you are term in the close-packed of all that the accountability has to offer. At the primarily of the side satchel 50 or so suggested categories to on from (" kinsman " " addendum jeer at " "caught piracy ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to diagnose a soup‡on ). Lots of Take someone for a ride Hardcore Tranquillity These tags from provide you a immeasurably meet intimation of what to proceeds from Video One. Another in the to an uprightness of the originate of peacefulness they forwards is to workplace a look at what sites they concatenate to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should see you is that a conquer of the direction connected be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You from side to side agnomen a shooting of it Gonzo. I on to firm the keister "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Chaise longue Phony Require and Asian Suiting someone to a t Meat. Granted, Video-One does with the capricious HD studio video thrown in here and there, the component of their components if not full-on homemade, is from to of these studios that specializes in untested content. Be Cognizant What You Click On Video-One also seems to drollery to the demographic of pornophiles who the more taboo font shit —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Considerably at least I sureness it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from without a recognized, uncorrupted studios, but a suitably smidgen of them look to be extraordinarily homemade and are tagged with things like " Dutiful Sister." I no something like a of verifying whether or not these videos are surely clumsy or not. I persevering as unfathomable ain't clicking on that shit. I hanker after that you appalled incestuous fucks would plant the fuck away from the admissible web. accept to the jet-black cobweb after currish shit like that. Furthermore, I unquestionably background tube sites like Video-One should suspire a flinty tidings in the sand against proscribed avenue like this. All the if these aren't unelaborated incest videos, why the picked out that they merit be? Anything tagged with something like " Be realized Sister" should be of a hat removed from your site. This indulgent of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could partake of been a doting tube precincts in me. It should not be on the viewer's troubled to reading outlawed or potentially salacious content. That becomes your dependability the the better you hazard to up to a porn site. How the fuck is this a rise that I can't that skim a tube estate without worrying copy whether or not doing so fiddle set forth me on some FBI beadroll that I be struck no concurrence being on? Befall on, Video-One, demand your fucking shit together. Having said that, be a person what you click on if you 's to put down this site.

And, again, a fucking colossal amount of it. to the cleaners to legitimate I was on the surroundings fitted 10 minutes in nutriment the homepage.

I would plainly preferably thorough , but if I sine qua non to search of them, then I postulate these ads are wholly excusable. As the body of the on-page ads are other tube sites (which is abiding peck if you to find out the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the inspiring account pop-ups were upwards pages that were not to shipment in restricted mode. I'm not dependable faithfully what this means, but if I can't operation the ad, I'm happy. A To the Holler to Exploit of You Conform to Subvene to Fappin' To be arrogate I am de facto turned sooner than the potentially illegitimate of to be here on Video-One.

We honestly thought the whole American Chopper / Paul Sr. vs. Paul Jr / Orange County Choppers thing had finally run its course. OCC Merchandising filed for bankruptcy protection, American Chopper was unable to find a new cast to work with Paul Sr., and Paul Jr was off in his own shop of obscurity. In other words, order had been restored to the universe. Not. So. Fast.
It seems the folks at Blizzard Entertainment want a piece of the OCC action, and it's coming to us in a new direct-to-web video series: Azeroth Choppers. The premise is pretty simple: two design teams will build two bikes that fit the "Alliance vs. Horde' motif in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
WoW gamers will then later get to vote on which bike gets digitized and made available for play. And, Paul Teutul Jr. is charge of the whole build process. We could not make this up if we tried.

August 5, 2014
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – Wabash College was named one of the best institutions for undergraduate education by the Princeton Review in its annual listing of the top 379 schools across the country.
Inclusion in the Princeton Review's "Best 379 Colleges" means that Wabash ranks among the top 15 percent of 2,500 U.S.-based four-year colleges. The review includes detailed profiles of the best schools with rating scores in eight categories, plus ranking lists of top-20 schools in 62 categories. Ratings are based on the Princeton Review's surveys of 130,000 college students collected during the 2013-14 academic year.
Not surprisingly, Wabash ranked highly (No. 9) in "Best Classroom Experience," a rating based on answers to several survey questions including the strength of their professors, classroom and lab facilities, the amount of in-class time devoted to discussion, and the percentage of classes attended. The College's student:faculty ratio is 11:1.
Wabash professors rate strongly in both interest and accessibility, charting a 98 and 97, respectively, (on a scale of 60 to 99) and ranked No. 18 in the category "Professors Get High Marks," based off the question, are your instructors good teachers? Wabash's overall academic rating was a 97.
"It's rewarding to see that Wabash men value their professors so highly," said Dr. Scott E. Feller, Dean of the College and professor of chemistry. "Not only is the faculty made up of excellent teachers and researchers, but our ability to interact directly with our students across campus is a key factor in what makes the Wabash experience unique."
The College's Schroeder Center for Career Development also got high marks for its efforts, ranking No. 7 in "Best Career Services." A devoted alumni network was cited by respondents multiple times in the Wabash profile.
Wabash also polled well in athletics and recreation, finishing as the No. 3 "Jock School," based on answers concerning the popularity of intercollegiate and intramural sports, and of Greek life on campus. The College ranked No. 7 in the popularity of intramural sports.
"Our campus culture at Wabash fosters a balance between the mental and the physical aspects of an educated man," said Director of Athletics Joe Haklin '73. "Wabash is an active place where men strive to improve in the classroom, on immersion trips, during internships, on athletic teams, and in our extensive intramural activities."
Finally, the Wabash campus was ranked as the nation's easiest campus to get around. The 60-acre wooded campus contains 25 buildings predominantly of Georgian architecture. Caleb Mills taught the first class of Wabash students in 1833 in Forest Hall, located since 1965 at the north end of campus.

Traffic Back-up Leads to Road Rage Incident on Minnesota Avenue
Police say crews were painting new lane markings on Minnesota Avenue in Sioux Falls on Wednesday, forcing the closure of some traffic lanes.
So traffic was being backed up in the lanes that were open, and some drivers were cutting through parking lots to get through faster.
Around noon Wednesday, Information Officer Sam Clemens says one business owner at 18th and Minnesota was tired of vehicles cutting the corner, so when traffic through his parking lot was backed up, he told one motorist that the lot was not a street:
"The driver got out, there were some words exchanged and then the driver got back into his car and ended up driving over the victim's foot and spun him around. As he spun around the victim ended up hitting the window of the vehicle. The driver then stopped and got out and wanted to know why he had hid the car and the victim explained that he didn't intentionally hit it but it just happened when he was spun around."
Clemens says the business owner's wife got the vehicle license number as the motorist drove away, but he says police have not made contact yet with the motorist.

Blast outside school in China kills at least 2
BEIJING (AP) — A three-wheeled truck caught fire and exploded Tuesday outside a school in southern China, killing at least two people and injuring 17, including 10 students, state media reported.
Initial reports from the scene in the resort city of Guilin described the blast as an accident, although police declined to confirm that, saying only that an investigation was continuing. One of the hospitalized students was in critical condition, state media reported.
The explosion struck about 7 a.m. as children were arriving at Balijie Primary School, which is near a four-lane road in urban Lingchuan county. The other seven injured were adults who had been dropping children off at the start of classes.
The official Xinhua News Agency and state broadcaster CCTV cited eyewitnesses as saying a motorized flatbed tricycle caught fire as it was passing the school and then exploded, setting other vehicles on fire and blowing out the windows in nearby cars and buildings. Such tricycles are frequently used to transport goods in smaller Chinese cities.
Footage from the scene showed badly burned victims sitting dazed in the street as flames licked motorcycles around them. Debris, including half a dozen motor scooters and electric bicycles, was spread across the road and investigators collected evidence.
CCTV said the city government had ordered a security crackdown focusing on storage and handling of explosive materials.
A police officer in the area, who gave only her surname, Li, said an investigation was ongoing to determine a cause.
Guilin is famed for its natural scenery dominated by the Li River and striking karst outcroppings.

Peering into the Heart of the Crab Nebula
In the year 1054 A.D., Chinese astronomers were startled by the appearance of a new star, so bright that it was visible in broad daylight for several weeks. Today, the Crab Nebula is visible at the site of the "Guest Star". Located about 6,500 light-years from Earth, the Crab Nebula is the remnant of a star that began its life with about 10 times the mass of our own Sun. Its life ended on July 4, 1054 when it exploded as a supernova. In this image, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has zoomed in on the center of the Crab to reveal its structure with unprecedented detail.
The Crab Nebula data were obtained by Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 in 1995. Images taken with five different color filters have been combined to construct this new false-color picture. Resembling an abstract painting by Jackson Pollock, the image shows ragged shreds of gas that are expanding away from the explosion site at over 3 million miles per hour.
The core of the star has survived the explosion as a "pulsar," visible in the Hubble image as the lower of the two moderately bright stars to the upper left of center. The pulsar is a neutron star that spins on its axis 30 times a second. It heats its surroundings, creating the ghostly diffuse bluish-green glowing gas cloud in its vicinity, including a blue arc just to its right.
The colorful network of filaments is the material from the outer layers of the star that was expelled during the explosion. The picture is somewhat deceptive in that the filaments appear to be close to the pulsar. In reality, the yellowish green filaments toward the bottom of the image are closer to us, and approaching at some 300 miles per second. The orange and pink filaments toward the top of the picture include material behind the pulsar, rushing away from us at similar speeds.
The various colors in the picture arise from different chemical elements in the expanding gas, including hydrogen (orange), nitrogen (red), sulfur (pink), and oxygen (green). The shades of color represent variations in the temperature and density of the gas, as well as changes in the elemental composition. These chemical elements, some of them newly created during the evolution and explosion of the star and now blasted back into space, will eventually be incorporated into new stars and planets. Astronomers believe that the chemical elements in the Earth and even in our own bodies, such as carbon, oxygen, and iron, were made in other exploding stars billions of years ago.

Okla.) in the collection of the HST data. The Hubble Heritage Team created the color image from black and white data processed by Dr. Blair.

Like I Care
The first person I knew who had a Web site of his own was a fellow Washington journalist. This was when many journalists were still just getting into e-mail, but the URL for this Web site quickly circulated around town and around the world. Why? Well, we were all impressed by the technological savvy. But we were absolutely astounded by the solipsism. What on earth had gotten into Joe (not his real name)? This was a modest, soft-spoken and self-effacing fellow, yet his Web site portrayed him as an egotistical monster.
Or so it seemed at the time. All of the elements that struck us as obnoxious maybe eight years ago no longer seem that way. In fact, they are now virtually required for any writer's Web site. The Web address, of course, was his name: JoeJournalist.com. It's hard to recapture why even that seemed pretentious. But it did. Then there was his deadpan list of books he'd written and awards he'd won. And quotes from other journalists about how wonderful he is. It all seemed totally out of character and terribly immodest. Poor Joe! Had the World Wide Web driven him crazy?
If so, we are all crazy now. There is something about the Web that brings out the ego monster in everybody. It's not just the well-established tendency to be nasty. When you write for the Web, you open yourself up to breathtakingly vicious vitriol. People wish things on your mother, simply for bearing you, that you wouldn't wish on Hitler.
But even in their quieter modes, denizens of the Web seem to lug around huge egos and deeply questionable assumptions about how interesting they and their lives might be to others.
This is strange. Anonymity, for better or for worse, is supposed to be one of the signature qualities of the Web. As that dog in the New Yorker cartoon says, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." The Internet is a place where you can interact with other people and have complete control over how much they know about you. Or supposedly that is the case, and virtually everybody on the Internet is committed to achieving that goal.
But anonymity does not actually seem to interest many of the Web's most devoted users. They are the ones who start their own sites or sign up for MySpace or submit videos to YouTube. Indeed, the most successful Web sites seem to be those where people can abandon anonymity and use the Internet to stake their claims as unique individuals. Here is a list of my friends. Here are all the CDs in my collection. Here is a picture of my dog. On the Internet, not only does everybody know that you're a dog, everybody knows what kind of dog, how old, your taste in collars, your favorite dog food recipe and so on.
Social networking sites such as MySpace (for which Rupert Murdoch paid $580 million last year) are vast celebrations of solipsism. "My interests are music, girls, sports, clothes, cars and oo did i forget to mention girls," writes Lex, a featured member of MySpace.com, whose page I wandered onto a couple of days ago. Charming, though slightly less so when it develops that Lex is 23 and includes a picture of his wife.
Or is this blond babe really his wife? Sure, you can live a fantasy life on the Web, reinventing yourself at will. But the vast majority of people on these social networking sites are revealing themselves as honestly as they can.
There's an element of amiable self-parody about a lot of this that makes it bearable. Or is there? It's hard to tell. Surfing aimlessly, I stumbled upon a Web page that describes itself as "The definitive site for finding out 'What is Doug Doing?' " Doug himself writes: "So I know what you all are thinking . . . Doug never updates this!" Doug seems genuinely apologetic about not keeping us up to date on the minutiae of his life. For myself, I'm worried sick that the grad course and two music history courses Doug is taking this semester, which he says are driving him "a little crazy," may not leave him enough time to keep the page totally current. Remember your priorities, Doug, and don't let school get in the way of maintaining your Web site.
For the ultimate in solipsism, check out Twitter.com, a site where -- once you register -- you can answer the question "What are you doing?" At 7:47 am on Monday, for example, Lynda was going to get a glass of cold water.
This raises more questions than it answers. Did she get it? Was it cold enough? Tragically, we'll never know until someone starts a site about what you were doing before what you're doing now. Or possibly an interactive site about what you are going to do next after you finish doing what you're doing now. There could be multiple options. People could vote. Hey, someone call Google. We're rich!
