Kenny and I started this site in the early 2000s and it was a pleasant hobby for me since. Thanks for reading.
As I had not been in touch with Kenny regularly for some time now, with only a handful of exchanged voice messages over the past few years, I found out about Kenny's death via the news report on WWLTV.com today.
My friend via phone all these years, Kenny was a lifelong fan, who for some time was able to walk the sidelines, talk with the players, coaches and staff of his hometown team. We should all be so lucky.
Signing off for both of us,

"I believe our students will have significant impact
in empowering individuals with disabilities."

Mary Drout, Ph.D.
Program Director,
M.A. in Counseling: Specialization in Rehabilitation Counseling
I believe in creating an environment that fosters inquiry and critical thinking, and one in which students can fully engage in questioning, appreciate the complexity of ideas, and reconsider previously held beliefs. In disability studies, I think it is crucial for students to listen to and grow from hearing the perspectives of others, while simultaneously increasing appreciation for evidenced-based practices.
I pursued doctoral studies after working in disability management for more than 20 years. This allows me to further my lifelong interest in education; I now have the great fortune to teach subjects about which I passionately care. I draw upon my experiences, as well as those of my students, for examples that help make content relevant and from which we all can learn.
I find tremendous opportunity in the congruence of the mission and values of Adler University and efforts to enhance inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the community and in the workforce. Adler University students care deeply about becoming socially responsible practitioners committed to social justice; I believe our students will have significant impact in empowering individuals with disabilities.

Director: Slava Tsukerman (also co-writer, co-producer). Starring: Anne Carlisle, Paula E. Sheppard, Otto von Wernherr, Bob Brady, Sousan Doukas. USA, 1982. Budget: $500,000. Box office: $1.7 mln. IMDb: 6.1. RT: 94%. My rating: 2.5/4. A crazy dive into the 80-s punk, new wave and fashion youth subcultures in New York with an unexpected alien visit.
– Young people with no faith in their heart must be punished; but there are more creative ways of doing that and such film as "Liquid Sky" is a prime example of this.
(Michelle King)
– Come on, teach me. Are you afraid? You're right, because they're all dead. All my teachers.
(Margaret, one of the film's main main characters)
– I'm sorry, but duty is more important than shrimps.
– Oh. Well, the duty is yours, the house is mine. And in my house, shrimps are more important than duty.
(The German scientist is being seduced)
Sometimes remembering the experience of watching a film provides more enjoyment than actual viewing, and Slava Tsukerman's first foreign experience may be a good example of it (and, to some extent Alex Cox' cult film "Repo Men" – both films share a lot in common, even if the latter is much an easier watch for an unexperienced viewer).
"And I am androgynous not less than David Bowie himself. And they call me beautiful, and I kill with my cunt. Isn't it fashionable?"
The first 30-40 minutes of the film captivate you with its striking origininality, an attempt to express the feeling of alienation through real aliens and a dive into a sexual androgyny that was widely discussed in the media at the time. However, later the films starts to replicate itself, and the middle part is just overly long, even if the final episode proves to be quite a big satisfaction.
New wave and punk scenes that celebrated themselves, sex predation and drug addicts, sexual promiscuity and fashion industry, aliens and alienation – all these wonderful elements intertwine into one hallucinating mix in "Liquid Sky". This independent film, created on a rather small budget ($500,000), quickly acquired a cult status among cinephiles of that time and was well received by American critics, and it's no wonder – imagine Andy Warhol shooting some cheesy 50-s science fiction, because this is how "Liquid Sky" looks like.
"Me and my rhythm box! Me and my rhythm box!"
Glam and decadance. The film made a certain effect when released and was even profitable. Many call it a cult. Now, from my unbiased-2017-point-of-view the film seems to be slowly fading into oblivion, just like "Hardware"… However, if you browse across the web, there are various references to the film here and there, or even inspired photoshoots or mockery:
The plot. A tiny alien spaceship (imagine the size of a salad bowl) lands in New York, right above the house or Margaret, once a well-behaving girl from Connecticut and now an aspiring bisexual model (by Anne Carlisle, who did a double role in the film). The bodiless visitors don't interact with humans, their aim is unknown. However, a German scientist Johann, another alien in the Big Apple, seems to have a theory – invisible aliens thrive on a substance produced by the human brain during the orgasm, which they manage to extract from the victim, killing it in the process. Margaret, who is going deeper and deeper into the downward spiral of promiscuous sex and violence, grasps this concept quicky and starts to use it for her own benefit…
The film is shot in a totally deadpan manner with a little amount of humour. Apathy and indifference prevail the minds of this self-absorbed youth, and that is supported by a gloomy monotone synth soundtrack and flamboyant, acid colours and designs.
Worth watching? "Liquid Sky" is a particular film, not in good or bad sense of the word. I love weird slow stuff. I enjoyed some early Harmony Korine's film ("Gummo"). But with this… I felt that there was more style than substance, and that's the case when you need to love the style to enjoy the film. So I cannot recommend it directly to anyone due to its prevailing sense of otherness and dazzling individuality – decide by yourself. Played mostly by non-professional actors and shot by newly arrived in New York Russian immigrants-filmmakers (hence the dominating sense of an alienation, probably?), it's a time capsule of the New York club scene of the 80-s and shows many kinks many of us could've never imagined, and does it from an unusual perspective. Finally, this is why we watch the movies, isn't it?
"Liquid Sky" is one of the favourite films of Nicholas Winding Refn (who directed one of my all-time favourites "Drive", plus he did a confusing flick called "The Neon Demon"…), among "Suspiria", "Videodrome", "La Dolce Vita" and some others. All these movie are well-known for their style domination. Have you seen anything the Danish director did? 😆

Lay midwives provide prenatal care and deliver babies outside of a
traditional medical setting, such as in a birthing center or home. They may be
affiliated with a doctor in case an emergency delivery occurs. But they are not
supervised by a doctor.
Lay midwife training consists of an apprenticeship with an
experienced midwife, workshops, and classes. Because a lay midwife does not
have professional medical training and is not licensed or certified, he or she
may have limited ability and technology for handling complications or sudden
emergencies. Experience, training, and medical backup for emergencies are
important things to consider when you are contracting the services of a lay

A few famous names came to mind right away: Van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, Picasso, Monet, Jackson Pollack, and I realized that they were ALL men. Talented artists who I love and adore but still, ALL men, and there are little girls who are artists! And so I began searching out some more talented artists (who happened to be female) to balance my collection. Easier said than done...
Should you want to enrich your classrooms or homes with Artist Baskets of your own, these are the female artists I added to my list:
- Mary Cassatt
- Georgia O'Keeffe
- Grandma Moses
- Frida Kahlo
- Beatrix Potter
Materials: Flower fabric (not shown)
Georgia O'Keeffe doll representation(s)
Small easel with several small prints of her paintings
Silk flower
"Watch where I go to get today's story."
Unfold the flower fabric. As you smooth out the wrinkles say . . .
"What could this be? Are these flowers? I like flowers; I wonder if the artist we are going to learn about today enjoyed flowers? Let's see what else we have in this Artist's basket."
Set up the small easel incorrectly at first, as though you had never seen one before, then right it, nod and look in the basket for a painting to display on it. As you do say things like . . .
"I think I recognize this, it is so colorful, yes, I think I've seen this picture before."
Place the Georgia O'Keeffe doll on the flower fabric.
"This is the Artist who painted these pictures. Her name is Georgia O'Keeffe.
Let me share with you, the story of her life."
Place the small
"This girl is
Pause. Pick up the silk flower and tuck it over your ear or in your hair (if possible).
She loved nature and drawing and painting the things that were around her.
I know of children who enjoy doing that."
Smile at the children and look around the classroom at their artwork admiringly.
Place your hand to your forehead and slowly look high and low and all around..
"When she grew older she left home and traveled to New York City. While in the city first she painted the city."
Pause to show a painting of a city scape done by O'Keeffe
"Do you remember what Georgia liked to put in her hair?"
"Flowers! Yes, flowers. Are there fields of flowers growing in a city? No...and Georgia missed the flowers."
So she had an idea."
Place the city scape painting back into the basket and slowly reveal a painting of a flower by O'Keeffe
She would paint flowers SO BIG that the busy people who lived in the city would STOP being busy to enjoy something beautiful, even if just for a moment."
Pause to admire the painting, take the flower from your hair and lay it next to the easel.
"Georgia longed to see more places and more beautiful things; so she packed up her paints and moved West.
This time she lived by a desert. She painted landscapes and cactus flowers."
Pause to show another painting of O'Keeffe's
"Georgia painted every day. She almost always wore black and white
and she always wore something special in her hair."
Pick up the silk flower and place it again in your hair.
"Do you know what that special something Georgia wore was?
Yes, you're right, a flower!"
I followed the presentation of this Artist's Basket with an art project. Flower prints. Using a shallow pan the children dipped their chosen flowers in the paint and then placed them on to paper to make a print.

His Grace the Right Reverend Bishop Nicholas (Ono) of Japan was consecrated as the ruling bishop of the Church of Japan in 1941 when the militaristic Japanese government required the heads of all religious groups in Japan to be Japanese nationals. He was the first Japanese national to be consecrated an Orthodox bishop.
Future Bishop Nicholas was born Kiichi Yamazaki on September 8, 1872, in the village of Kannami in Shizuoka Prefecture. When he was still in elementary school, his older brother, Yamazaki Kenzabur

Morania confluensA common sheath-like cyanobacteria
Cyanophyceae (Order: Nostocales?)
Walcott (1919) considered Morania to be related to the modern cyanobacteria Nostoc. No revisions to the affinities of this cyanobacterium have been published since.
Species name:
Morania confluens
Described by:
Description date:
Morania – from Moraine Lake (1,885 m), in Banff National Park.
confluens – from the Latin fluere, "flow or stream," and the prefix con, "together." The name refers to the abundance of this species.
Type Specimens:
Syntypes–USNM35378-35390, 35398 (M. confluens); USMN 35391, 35392 (M. costellifera);USNM35393 (M. elongata);USNM35394 (M. fragmenta);USNM35395 – 35397, 35401 (M.? globosa);USNM57718 (M. parasitica);USNM35402 (M.? reticulata) in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA.
Other species:
Burgess Shale and vicinity: M. costellifera Walcott, 1919; M. elongata Walcott, 1919; M. fragmenta Walcott, 1919; M.? globosa Walcott, 1919; M. parasitica Walcott, 1919; M.? reticulata Walcott, 1919, all from the Walcott Quarry.
Other deposits: M.? antiqua Fenton and Fenton, 1937 from the middle Proterozoic Altyn Limestone of Montana and the Little Dal Group, Mackenzie Mountains (see Hofmann and Aitken, 1979).
Middle Cambrian, Bathyuriscus-Elrathina Zone (approximately 505 million years ago).
Principal localities:
The Walcott Quarry on Fossil Ridge.
Brief history of research:
Walcott described Morania, erecting eight species, in a 1919 paper along with Burgess Shale algae, comparing the genus to the extant cyanobacteria Nostoc. Walcott included thin sections and details of the microstructures of M. confluens showing that it was formed of tangled strings of pyrite. Satterthwait (1976) studied specimens of M. confluens from the Geological Survey of Canada collections as part of her PhD thesis and broadly agreed with Walcott's original interpretations, in particular regarding a position within the Nostocaceae. Sattertwhait's work has not been published but she suggested that many species erected by Walcott might not be valid and could represent parts of more complex algae. Mankiewicz (1992) re-observed Walcott's thin sections and confirmed the presence of Morania in several samples. Rigby (1986) identified M.? frondosa Walcott 1919, as a sponge and reassigned it to a new genus (see Crumillospongia frondosa).
Morania ranges in shape from spherical to sheet-like. The sheet-like form M. confluens is by far the most common species. Specimens typically range in length between 1 to more than 13 centimeters. The sheets are characteristically perforated, with holes up to 3 centimeters in diameter. The shape, size, number and distribution of holes are highly variable. Thin sections show that the microstructure of M. confluens is represented by a tangle mass of filaments called trichomes. These filaments have a beadlike structure with little spheroids of pyrite ranging 3 to 7 micrometers in diameter, and originally interpreted by Walcott as defining cellular structures.
Estimating the abundance of Morania is difficult since some bedding planes have large tangled masses of this cyanobacterium, and many could represent fragments of the same colony. Morania is very common in the Walcott Quarry and represents 4.9% of the community (Caron and Jackson, 2008).
Maximum size:
130 mm
Life habits:
Epibenthic, sessile
Feeding strategies:
Primary producer
Ecological Interpretations:
Caron and Jackson (2006) suggested that Morania covered large areas of the benthos and might have provided a stable substrate and food source for benthic animals, in particular for a number of grazers, like Odontogriphus and Wiwaxia.

HOW I LIVE NOW. Starring Saoirse Ronan, George Mackay, Tom Holland, Harper Bird, Anna Chancellor. Directed by Kevin Macdonald. 101 minutes. Rated M (Strong coarse language and violence).
How I Live Now is based on a novel by Meg Rosoff. It is a story about teenagers and is geared to the teenage, young adult niche audience. It is written in this style, the characterisations are designed to get young audiences to identify with the characters and their situations, and it is the same with the language.
The film was directed by Kevin McDonald, an Oscar-winning director of documentaries, including Touch the Void, Enemies. He also directed a few feature films, most notably, The Last King of Scotland for which Forrest Whitaker won an Academy Award.
For those not in the know before they begin to watch the film, there will be something of a surprise in the portrait of the girl who arrives by plane from the United States to stay with her cousins for the summer. We hear the voices in her head during the credits. She is quite a controller, also obsessive, listening to music and surly with people, her clothes with a touch of the Goth, in need of mending, someone with a haughty manner and very little consideration of others. She finds her cousins off-putting as well. Their house could do with some cleaning. There are three children plus the young lad, George, from next door who seems part of the family, the enigmatic Eddie (George Mackay), 16 years old, Isaac (Tom Holland), 14, who was at the airport and drove an old truck home, and the younger girl, Piper (Harper Bird). The visiting cousin is called Elizabeth but she resents this name and wants everybody to call her daisy. She is played by Saoirse Ronan who has proven herself one of the best young actresses (Atonement, The Way Back, The Lovely Bones, The Host).
Audiences will presume that this is a story of someone who feels alien and gradually becomes part of the family and the countryside. Not quite. Or, rather, not at all.
There have been armed soldiers at the airport. We see trucks and soldiers driving through the city and the countryside. It soon appears that there are possibilities of war, the mother of the children being involved in peace activities, going to Geneva for discussions.
Then there is the huge explosion, nuclear, with the destruction of tens of thousands of people in London. War situations then prevail, lack of power, difficulties with food, terrorists (never identified) who have poison the water systems. The children are taken by the army and sent to different sites where they help collect food and try to survive. But, the plan is to escape.
Much of the film is the journey for Daisy and Piper, making their way through the woods, sometimes hiding, trying to survive, a long walk to return home. There are some frightening experiences for them along the way, a crashed plane, men terrorising some women, their being accosted by two men in the woods, finding a container-centre with the bodies of dead boys and young men, preyed on by scavengers.
But, the physical journey is also a psychological and moral journey for Daisy, coming out of herself and her self-centredness, concerned for Piper though irritated by her, letting go of a lot of the controls that she has clung to, listening to the voices in her head very differently.
Some audiences may be reminded of the Australian film, Tomorrow When the War Began, teenagers in a war situation finding ways to survive. But, this is a more character-focused film.
Fr Peter Malone MSC is an associate of the Australian Catholic Office for Film & Broadcasting.

Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars.com
Sunday, May 20, 2012
The secretive Bilderberg Group's agenda for its 2012 meeting has attracted national attention with an article by veteran Politico journalist Ken Vogel exploring charges that the organization is set to play a decisive role in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
The article, entitled Marco Rubio as vice president: the Bilderberg conspiracy, focuses around our piece from back in April which flagged the fact that the Washington Post, itself a creature of Bilderberg, had not so subtly implied that Bilderberg may have a hand in picking Mitt Romney's running mate just as they picked VP candidates in 2004 and 2008.
"Like any good conspiracy theory, there's just enough there to stoke questions," writes Vogel. "John Edwards's speech to the Bilderberg Group's 2004 meeting in Stresa, Italy, reportedly helped clinch his selection as that year's Democratic vice presidential candidate. And Jim Johnson, the man who chaired that vice presidential selection process and initially was tasked with spearheading Barack Obama's 2008 search for a running mate, is a leading Bilderberg member, while prominent Romney advisers including Robert Kagan and Vin Weber have attended past meetings, as have Bill Clinton, Donald Rumsfeld and top finance, media and tech executives."

Interstellar Vengeance is a side scrolling based space shooter. You fly towards the right and shoot the red enemies coming towards you. Once an enemy is destroyed it drops scrap. Scraps are little grey objects that are collected with your ships tractor beam and sold for money. To win a battle you need to kill all the enemies and pick up all the scrap. This game was intended to be developed as a small project. so when it gets released it will be free and open source. This is also a bit early on in development. I don't tend to like doing images so I just made simple boxes to start off with. The game will slowly get images on everything as development goes on so as to raise the quality of the looks of the game.

NRAB Upcoming Projects
Master Planning George Rogers Park
The George Rogers Master Plan will identify a range of specific recreations; the location, type, extent of active and passive recreation facilities and natural resource and open space areas to be preserved and enhanced.
Springbrook Trails Plan
In 1999 the City of Lake Oswego, in partnership with friends, neighbors and a trails consultant, began a trails plan for Springbrook Park. The plan was intended to identify existing trails, determine which trails should be retained and where new trails and trail improvements were needed, and to identify ecologically sensitive areas for removal of ad-hoc trails. City staff, working with the trails consultant, submitted the plans for comment in two large public meetings and received many individual written comments. On February 16, 2001, the Cityís Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Natural Resources Advisory Board approved the revised plan.
Implementation of the master plan for Springbrook Park is to begin in the fall/winter of 2001. City planning staff and parks maintenance staff are currently moving forward with the details of the implementation.
For volunteer opportunities or information please email the Natural Resource Coordinator or call (503) 697-6575.

This was the one before everything changTook my son again. He made me buy him the skull cap, and the next day he lost it! Bad/40/Psalm 116 into Streets was very emotional and thrilling. A few short months later, the World Trade Center fell, the Pentagon was hit, and a plane crashed in Pennsylvania, and the world changed. I remember seeing Bono sing "Peace on Earth" on the telethon/memorial, and crying my eyes out, for what should have been, but what was never meant to be.
08 November, 2009
First U2 ShowIt was my first time seeing the band live, and the first time my fourteen-year-old daughter had ever been to a large arena-type concert. We were so excited! We had great seats, and could see many details as Bono and the Edge rounded the ramp. We screamed, clapped, and jumped up and down as all our favorite songs were played. The most memorable song for me was Until the End of the World. It was thrilling to hear it live, and to see the interaction between Bono and the Edge. After the concert we stayed in a nearby hotel, and couldn't get to sleep for hours as we relived the concert. This was truly a memorable mother-daughter experience, one that I will always treasure. (PJ Harvey opened the concert)

28.7 is a cluster of seven 28 pendants hung from a round canopy. The pendants hang in shape of a hexagonal bouquet, bundled together by an adjustable ring, which changes the curvature of the piece and its proportional reading.
28 is an exploration of specificity in manufacturing. Instead of designing form itself, here the intent was to design a system of making that yields form. Individual 28 pendants result from a complex glass blowing technique whereby air pressure is intermittently introduced into and then removed from a glass matrix which is intermittently heated and then rapidly cooled. The result is a distorted spherical shape with a composed collection of imploded inner shapes, one of which acts as a shade for a low voltage (12V, 20W) xenon light source.
28 pendants are designed to cluster in hexagonal shapes which nestle into each other to create patterns as dictated by the needs of the interior. They may also be clustered or composed in an ambient manner similar to their distant cousins the 14's.
Standard 28's are made with clear glass exterior spheres and milk white interior lamp holder cavities. 28's are possible with infinite versatility in color compositions, sizes and shapes

The reports of its death were greatly exaggerated.
With Stacks–a kind of fusion of bookmarking, microblogging, curating, and sharing–Delicious beefs up and prettifies its popular bookmarking service.
What's a Stack? The site explains that these playlists for the web are collections of links:
built around a common theme. To get started, visit the stack tab on your profile page and click "create stack." Choose at least three links, add juicy descriptions, pick the best images, choose the layout, and shuffle the order of links. When you're all set, click publish to share your Delicious stack.
Just as folks were able to browse the bookmarks of others, they may now also browse for and follow the curation efforts of Delicious Stack creators.
The new Delicious also allows phrase tagging.
It may take a while for the Stacks community to reach critical mass as a search tool, but it is growing surprisingly fast. I hope to introduce it to my kiddos next week, along with a few other attractive, media-rich options, for curating senior project research.

A pure-Python regular expression library, compatible with the re package. RXPY can be used as a test-bed for new matching algorithms - the parser and compatibility components are reusable.
RXPY includes the concept of "alphabets". These let you define a regular expression for types other than strings. The initial code includes a proof-of-concept that matches lists of integer digits.
RXPY allows different engines to be used during matching. The initial code includes a simple, recursive matcher, but the aim is to eventually support a DFA-based matcher, modelled on re2.
The regular expression is represented internally as a graph, parameterised by the alphabet and interpreted by the engine.
The main disadvantage with the current (C-based) Python interpreter is speed. Also, locale-based character groups are not supported and the alphabet-based approach can give slightly different results when mixing ASCII and Unicode strings.

Lampard pens short-term move to Man City
Chelsea great Frank Lampard has made a swift return to the Premier League, sealing a short-term move to Manchester City.
The 36-year-old left Stamford Bridge after a 13 glittering years upon the expiry of his contract at the end of last season and signed for new MLS franchise New York City.
However, New York will not be in action until March - meaning Lampard faced at least seven months without competitive action.
It had been thought the midfielder could follow New York's other marquee signing David Villa in joining up with Manchester City's second overseas venture, Melbourne City, until the beginning of the 2015 MLS campaign.
But Lampard has instead opted to go back to England, signing until January with the Premier League champions.
"From next Wednesday he will start working with our team and will play for us until January – we'll see after that," City manager Manuel Pellegrini said on Saturday.
"At the moment he will work with the squad and be a member of the squad. He will fight for a position.
"He knows we have a very good team, we have a lot of players in his position. He is one player more. We have a lot of games particularly with the Champions League, so he's very important for our team."
It remains unclear whether Lampard will face his former club Chelsea when the teams meet in the league on September 21.
Lampard, who is Chelsea's all-time record goalscorer, won three Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, four FA Cups and two League Cups during his trophy-laden stint in west London.

Our company GCM, Global Culture Management, is divided into 3 business units: Multimedia Shows/ Management Trainings and team building/ conferences and seminars.
We are currently based in Dubai, Barcelona and Shanghai.
Our slogan "We multiply culture" means a strong focus on cross cultural communication based on our international experience.
We organize corporate events for multinational companies, give trainings for Western expats starting new jobs in asia, the gulf region or for arabs and chinese going to europe. Our seminars are related to current environmental issues and always internationally orientated.
our target our the fortune 500 companies and the local top 100 in the markets of Europe, the Gulf region and China.
Our mother company is The Exponential Group with a red logo which we will attach. The new logo should not be red though, blue or green or even several colors would be possible. It could use a globe or the world but we are open also to other options. It should be dynamic, not too traditional that it looks like a bank but not too fancy that it looks like a art design company...
The GCM logo should use the three letters but also have a subtitle with GLOBAL CULTURE MANAGEMENT to show our activity right away. It will be appreciated if we could use GCM separately as a logo without the subtitle of the company's name for all CI related purposes.

UPDATE: E-Reader Prices Keep Dropping, Except for Amazon's Kindle
UPDATE: That didn't take long.
The Kindle goes for $259. But I bet if you wait a few weeks, you'll be able to pick one up for less than $200.
Amazon's competitors are certainly doing their best to push the Kindle's price down. Last month, Borders (BGP) introduced the Kobo e-reader at $149; now Barnes & Noble (BKS) is pushing the base price for its Nook to the same level.
That price point doesn't get you the built-in wireless connection that the Kindle boasts, but if you're willing to pay $199, you can get that on the Nook, too.
If you want, you can argue that the price wars represent the book chains' admission that they can't compete with Amazon any other way. And if you follow that logic, Amazon can keep selling its gadget at a premium of 20 percent or more.
But Amazon (AMZN) is also facing pressure at the high end of the market. For $500, a little less than the price of two Kindles, you can pick up Apple's (AAPL) entry-level iPad, which does a whole lot more than a basic e-reader. That middle ground is an uncomfortable place to be.
That is why lots of folks believe Amazon will also push the Kindle below $200, while adding new features, soon–"before the end of the summer," predicts Citigroup (C) analyst Mark Mahaney. So if you're in the market, it may be worth keeping your credit card sheathed for a month or so.

The MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a language-independent communications protocol used to program parallel computers. It allows many computers to communicate with one another. It is used in computer clusters.
The OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is an application programming interface (API) that supports multi-platform shared memory multiprocessing programming in C/C++ and Fortran on many architectures, including Unix / Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms. It consists of a set of compiler directives, library routines, and environment variables that influence run-time behavior.
This tutorial explains how to obtain, build, and use an MPI stack for Linux machines. This tutorial will take you from "hello world" to parallel matrix multiplication in a matter of minutes. The exercise takes slightly more than 30 minutes and allows one to develop and run MPI codes on a multi-core server or on a HPC cluster.
OpenMP has several strong points: it is a very simple system to use and it is widely available in compilers for most major platforms. There are however, other methods to express parallelism in your code. On distributed parallel systems, like Linux clusters, the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is widely used. MPI is not a programming language, but rather a standard library that is used to send messages between multiple processes. These processes can be located on the same system (a single multi-core SMP system) or on a collection of distributed servers. Unlike OpenMP, the distributed nature of MPI allows it to work on almost any parallel environment.

Eight is not enough for the Octomom.
Nadya Suleman, better known as the Octomom, told "Good Morning America" today in an exclusive interview at her La Habra, Calif. home, she would not be averse to having more children.
"If I wanted to do it the traditional way and get married, that's like another chapter," Suleman said.
U.S. & World
But for now, her hands are full with the octuplets and six older children.
Earlier this fall, Suleman invited cameras into home for the one-hour documentary that has already been aired in the United Kingdom and will air soon in the United States.
Suleman received around $250,000 for the first year of filming.
She told the filmmakers, "I'm dammed if I do and damned if I don't because if I don't do what I need to do in the media to take care of and support the kids, I can't take care of them."
With monthly expenses amounting to $10,000 for the team of five nannies, $4,000 in food and a monthly tally of 3,200 diapers and 240 loads of laundry, she said it is the only way to support her enormous family.
"I screwed up my life, I screwed up my kids' lives," Suleman told Radar Online in June. "I'm like, 'What the heck am I going to do?' I have to put on a strong façade, and I have to pretend like, 'Oh, I don't regret it."
But Suleman stood by her decision to carry the octuplets even as doctors suggested selective reduction.
"Because which one should I have murdered?" she said in the documentary. "Noah? Isaiah? You know, Jonah?"
Yet Suleman defends her fertility doctor, Dr. Michael Kamrava who has since been dropped by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.
Suleman says, "I never intended of having more than twins at the most, one more. So he should have never been reprimanded because based upon my past reproductive history he did nothing different."

US Secretary of State John Kerry has refused to comment on the issue of granting visa to BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, saying his comments may have a "play" in the upcoming General Elections in India.
Responding to a question on the visa issue from Congressman George Holding, Kerry said, "I am not going to comment on that part of it, if you do not mind, simply because it is before the election and I do not want anything I say here to have any play into the election in any way that it should or should not."
During a Congressional hearing Holding said, "Within a month or so almost 800 million people are going to go to the polls and choose a new Government in India. The Wall Street Journal recently said that the Congress Party will suffer more than likely an overwhelming defeat, and more than likely the BJP party will form a Government with Narendra Modi at the head of it."
"What are you doing to put us at a good place in our relations with India, with the BJP Government? And how much do you think we will have as a setback the issue with Modi's visa status and us denying a visa to him? And where do you see that we sit with that right now?" Holding had asked.
Kerry described relations with India as very vital for the region and the world.
"It (India-US) is a very important relationship. (India is) a very, very vital country in terms of the region and globally. And we need to... We have big issues to work on together," Kerry said.
"We respect that democracy, respect India. We have worked hard to get over the hiccup we had recently with respect to a diplomat in New York. Our Assistant Secretary (of State for South and Central Asia, Nisha Desai Biswal) has just returned from a trip to India," he said.
"We are very, very anxious. It is a very important relationship," Kerry said.

We offer a Free quote and UK design service, get in touch today.
Life cover for over 50s in the UK should be considered and can act as an important financial safety net should the worst happen to you or a loved one.
It is important that you consider your family and loved ones, even after you have passed away. We can help provide you with great coverage to ensure they are stable.
You should take into account over 50 life insurance [POSTCODE] while planning your finances. As you have more risk of death over the age of 50, it is important that you are covered so that your family and partner can be financially cared for if the worst is to happen. Over-50-life insurance can offer you a great policy that involves you paying a premium to ensure that your family receive a payback once you have passed. This can be used to pay off mortgages, support the family or just for general use. Partners with children have to take into consideration cover for both of you, no matter whether or not both of you are earning an income.
After all, how would the family manage in the event the spouse that stayed at home passed away? The worker could not leave work to look after the family home and kids, which means that money will be required to sort out other preparations. Getting personal coverage could ensure your family members keep the house they have grew up in, or that your children go to higher education, even though you are not about to help with the finances.
This may be a delicate and even hard topic to consider, which is why many individuals fail to act. If you don't contemplate life cover, your loved ones could have trouble with finances when you die. That is why we'd advise looking at numerous UK packages for cover for the greatest 50 plus insurance plan obtainable. Life cover prices can vary depending on particular people. An example of this would be: a smoker will pay more than a non smoker. The various types of plans may also make the price to alter. You can aquire coverage for yourself alone, or get a joint plan as a couple. You can also take out 50 plus insurance if you would like it simply to pay for your remaining mortgage balance or you would like a lump sum on pay-out that you know won't change within the period of your cover.
You will find the greatest packages for life-insurance coverage comes in various sorts. If someone dies, you will either receive a pay-out of the arranged amount as a one time payment or an ongoing income. Explore all of the available cover you can take out and find out which is right for you.
You don't need to change parts of your way off life when you take out life coverage. Using our extraordinary discounts and rewards, we will help keep you healthy from day one, so you'll constantly get something back whether you claim or not. Whilst over 50s life coverage costs may vary, haing a plan in place will help your family in the long term. That way all your loved ones will be cared for should you pass on. To find out the exact costs of 50 or over Life Insurance, it may be best to head over to their website and get a quote. We are then able to compare and give you advice on the best policy for you. As experts we are happy to help and show you the insurance policies that we have to offer.
As skilled advisers we are able to help you on choosing which will be the better plan for you. We'll think about any personal details that may change the life-insurance for over 50 plan. One of the primary factors that will modify the insurance policy which you decide to get would be whether you have children. By picking the right personal insurance, your family members won't struggle with money if you pass away. This is where we can help you pick the most suitable plan for you as we can look at your personal details and give you our honest and trusted advice. We are also able to offer you a free quote that can show you the different options we have available.
We realise thinking about personal cover is very demanding, which describes why we're here to make it easier for you. If you choose to go for over-50-life cover [POSTCODE] you'll stop your family members from having a number of financial issues. If you've got any queries, our specialist consultants can assist you to choose the right insurance policy.

Fifteen years ago, Apple (AAPL) was left for dead.
Vanquished by Microsoft (MSFT) in the operating system wars, and badly mismanaged in the wake of the firing of founder Steve Jobs, the company was running on fumes.
Then Steve Jobs came back.
And, over the next decade, Jobs led what is probably the most remarkable turnaround in corporate history. Thanks to a host of amazing products that Jobs and his team invented, Apple has become the most valuable and profitable company in the world.
Importantly, though, Apple's current wealth and power makes the company much less sympathetic than it was in the early years of its turnaround.
In those years, the only people who cared about Apple were its devoted faithful–folks who believed in "Think Different," hated the Microsoft empire, and believed that, with Steve Jobs back at the helm, Apple could pull off a miracle. As Apple scratched and clawed its way back from the brink, they cheered its every move. And that support, combined with Apple's release of one beautifully designed product after another, gradually won over hundreds of millions of gadget consumers and helped destroy the Microsoft monopoly.
But now Apple is unfathomably rich and powerful. And the feisty competitiveness with which the company has always attacked critics and competitors now seems like self-serving bullying. And it's reminding people of Microsoft's tactics back in the Windows-monopoly days.
In the latest release of its mobile operating system and the iPhone 5, for example, Apple has replaced Google Maps with its own mapping solution. No one knows for certain why it did this, but the consensus is that the company wanted to control a potentially lucrative app. And reviewers have almost universally concluded that Apple's mapping solution is worse than Google's, and, therefore, that–at least for now–Apple has used its tremendous power to put its own interests ahead of its customers'.
Apple needs to be aware of this dynamic–and careful of it. Because sentiment around the company could turn quickly. And if Apple loses the fanatical support of hundreds of millions of consumers worldwide, it will lose one of its most valuable assets.

Photo Gallery: French Inspired Interiors
Add Gallic charm to your space.
Pedigreed furniture mixes with personal touches.
An oversized crystal chandelier and ceiling medallion set a traditional tone in this light and airy dining room. Louis XVI chairs covered in honey-coloured velvet and a Matelasse coverlet, used as a tablecloth, add to the luxe vibe.
This design offers a new spin on traditional bistro elements.
Milk-glass schoolhouse light fixtures, black and white marble hex tiles and a chunky marble countertop are tried and true French bistro elements. The clean white backdrop and stainless steel appliances, meanwhile, update the look. A framed chalkboard panel with an Eiffel tower is a smart, affordable art idea that can be changed easily.

An urban Montreal loft office works on old-world Paris time.
Homeowner Luce Gayrard smartly created a home office in the corner of her bedroom. French antique furniture such as the Régence style desk, Trumeau mirror, marble topped demi-lune table and red Louis chair fit with the chic look of the rest of the room. Pairing pale blue with red and gold against white painted walls keeps the look fresh and lighthearted.

A French farmhouse-inspired space for entertaining.
A chunky wood harvest table and hurricane pendant light take centre stage in this cosy dining room. A weathered wood cabinet with exposed hinges adds to the casual, farmhouse look and provides extra storage for dishes and linens. Displaying framed artwork on a chair rail goes with the informal style, and allows the arrangement to be changed easily.

Vintage and modern pieces work together to create a Parisian look.
A gilded settee, upholstered in a ticking stripe fabric, is the focal point of this library. Ikea bookcases are mounted on the wall and the floral skirt along the bottom hides a storage area underneath. Accessories and framed artwork add the layers that make this room look vintage and timeworn.

Antiques mix with modern elements in this space.
White painted walls, a light hardwood floor and neutral rug provide a clean backdrop for a mix of French antique furniture, wall sconces and a gold and crystal candelabra. A modern sofa and ottoman, upholstered in simple white cotton, adds a current note, making the room comfortable and inviting rather than fussy and formal.

Large-scale windows, a dramatic fireplace and pretty floral centrepieces create an air of elegance.
This chic dining room features a 19th century Louis XVI mirror, French Directoire chairs and a mahogany Regency dining table, offset by warm quarter sawn oak flooring.
A quirky mix of global finds modernizes this space.
Crisp white walls, a rustic Chinese table and an industrial metal chair update French-style black and white floor tiles and a large, drippy crystal chandelier.
See a tour of this house, or view more French inspired interiors in our gallery.
Art and antiques decorate this exquisite bathroom.
Vintage fixtures and a roll-top pedestal bath tub set the traditional tone of this soothing and elegant principal bathroom. Designer and homeowner Julie Charbonneau designed the built-in cabinet to create storage for linens, recycling former leaded windows from elsewhere in the house into the doors. An off-white palette and Roman shades create a soothing ambiance, while art and an antique chandelier complete the look.
See more photos of Charbonneau's home in our gallery.

Stark walls and bold black accents are softened with touches of gold and a lush, floral patterned rug.
French doors, a round gilt mirror and an elegant black and white colour scheme make this bedroom the epitome of modern, Parisian-hotel chic.
Accessories give this space a timeworn and well-loved look.
A vintage-looking French La Cornue stove is at the heart of this grand kitchen. Custom oak cabinets, a marble countertop and a pressed-metal ceiling complete the design, resembling a busy chateau bursting with guests.
A distressed harvest table contrasts glam cabinets and lighting.
A kitchen lighting system that layers an antique chandelier, antique wall sconces, pot lights mounted under the cabinets and a candelabra with taper candles is visually stunning but also allows the flexibility to create any type of mood. Herringbone patterned hardwood floors only add to the European country, luxe look. Framed French doors and leaded glass cabinet doors elevate the kitchen's high style even more while milk stools used as seating around the harvest table keep it casual and comfortable.

Here we go again folks, its time for another installment of my mini-series "Forgotten America."
This time we are at a very old abandoned silver mine in Nevada. This country is so desolate, I cannot imagine living here. No, I did not crawl into the mine. Knowing my luck, the mine would cave in, or be full of rattlesnakes and there would be a premature ending to the mini-series.
The last pic is yours truly risking life and limb in the desolate wilds of Western America to get those shots for my CW friends.

tie up (some/a few) loose ends
To take care of, finish, or resolve some issues or pieces of business that are not critical but have remained outstanding. I'm just about ready to move to Europe, but I need to tie up some loose ends with my ex-girlfriend before I go. The legal team is still tying up a few loose ends in the merger contract, but, other than that, we are ready to move ahead with the deal.

Wherever you are in the process of determining your cancer risk or risk management options, there is a good chance that others are going through the same thing and are available to offer support.
10 pm EST,
Previvor Chat:
Specifically for women who do not have cancer but are at risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
9 pm EST
Open to all
I love to tell people that they are not alone; there is an entire FORCE support network to help them.?
Newcomers are welcome! Please join us to share experiences and support, ask questions, or just to visit and get to know other people facing a high risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
If you're new to chats or to this subject area, you may see some unfamiliar abbreviations or terms. In some cases, these will be the same sort of thing used in chats elsewhere on the Internet -- for example, OTOH means "on the other hand" and LOL means "laughing out loud." You can search for these terms online.
Sometimes we use our own shorthand for terms related to our particular concerns. For instance, we often write "bc" for breast cancer and "ovca" for ovarian cancer. (Okay, so we're not consistent!) We've created a glossary of these terms to get you started.
Get matched to a Peer Navigator Volunteer who has faced a similar journey and receive 1:1 personalized support and resources.
FORCE has outreach groups throughout the United States and in Essex, United Kingdom that meet periodically to offer peer support, and share resources.

Lots of News
Glad to have Juan Samuel back in a Phillies uniform. He'll certainly look at home in pinstripes. And, he'll help. Great addition to Charlie's staff. Plus, he's always smiling.
Shane is on a three-consecutive Gold Glove streak. He's got a way to go to match Garry Maddox' eight Gold Gloves, most for any Phillies outfielder. Garry truly was the "Secretary of Defense." A writer once wrote, "Two-thirds of the earth is covered with water, the other one-third is covered by Maddox."
Gold Gloves among outfielders aren't broken down by position. But, the Phillies have had four consecutive centerfielders win the award, starting with Aaron Rowand in 2007.
Next Week
**MLB Industry Meetings begin Sunday in Orlando's Disney World. Communications, advertising, promotions, marketing, publications, new media, radio-TV, tickets, sales are among the numerous departments from the 30 ball clubs that will be in attendance. Phillies are sending 31 from the front office. These meetings are not to be confused with Baseball's Winter Meetings.
**Owners and GM meetings begin Monday, also in Orlando.
**NL and AL Rookies of the Year will be announced on Monday.
**NL Cy Young Award winner on Tuesday.
**NL and AL Managers of the Year on Wednesday.
**AL Cy Young winner on Thursday.
Warm Thought
93 more days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training.
Phillies have lined up spring training tours once again. An addition in 2011 is a trip for Seniors, which is down my alley.

Inveterate Antipathies and Passionate Attachments
Jim Antle's article on the foreign policy of realists and Tea Partiers sums up the last two months of the Hagel debate very well:
Chuck Hagel's confirmation process has been the most depressing episode in the Republican foreign-policy debate since George W. Bush was president, not least because the debate is still constrained by terms set by John McCain and impersonators such as Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte.
Probably the most depressing aspect of this episode is the extent to which most of the new Senators aligned with Tea Party activists confirmed that they take their cues on foreign policy from more senior Republicans, all of whom endorsed the failed policies Bush administration and then learned nothing from those failures. This isn't because it comes as a surprise that the prevailing foreign policy views among Tea Party-aligned Senators tend to be nearly as hard-line and hawkish as that of other Republican Senators. That hasn't been news for some time. What makes this more dispiriting is that some of the Tea Party-aligned Republicans in the Senate are even more inclined to support the party's ideological enforcement on foreign policy than many of their older colleagues.
Many of these Senators seem to be just as eager to punish even the mildest dissent against foreign entanglements and the warfare state as Bush loyalists were in the previous decade. To add insult to injury, Ted Cruz has the nerve to claim that he's "considerably less hawkish" than his colleagues and to invoke Washington's Farewell Address while he does it*. Cruz has evidently forgotten the part of the address in which Washington said that "nothing is more essential, than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular Nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded." If anything instructive has come out of the spectacle of the last two months, it has been the massive display of "inveterate antipathies" and "passionate attachments" for nations other than our own, as well as how thoroughly these sentiments have driven far more pressing American security issues to the margins of the discussion.
* Cruz begins speaking at approximately 59:35. Reference to Washington and foreign entanglements comes at 1:00:34.

sounds great in theory but after installing it on your computer it does not load when you open autocad. No real technical support either other than writing an email. Improve service and maybe this potentially useful app will have more users.Reply

Installed but not loadingMatt Harrison | October 28, 2017 Verified Download (What's this?)
I have ACA 2017, and this application is not loading... No commands are registered. If I use netload on the dll in the application plugin folder, I can get the commands. When I execute BO_Browsebimobjects command, it starts a modeless dialog that navigates to the web browser that logs in as Carmelo Garcia Gonzalez, whom I am not. There are so many clicks required to go from a product you select to the downloads, and when you get to downloads there is no clear indication as to why there are several Autocad or Revit downloads, I can only presume that they represent different versions, but there is no context to suggest that! Perhaps a small viewer would be appropriate because when you insert the block in the browser window goes away! Why make it modeless if you are going to treat it like a modal window? The browser window does not remember it's position or where it left off. So if you do place one of the Autocad blocks from the list of AutoCAD downloads and want to insert the other to check the difference; you have to open the browser again, filter again, click to get to downloads still, and remember which of the ones you did before to place the other one. All and all I would not recommend this and I miss seek.autodesk.com.Reply

I have to agree with Adam that once it's installed there's no quick instruction on getting you started. I looked at one of the screenshots and noticed that it was installed in 3D Modeling workspace; plug-ins and then had to setup an account on BIMobject.com, then go into my account on the BIMobject website to get teh API code in order to download from AutoCAD. Once all that's set up, I can easily browse thru the catalog and grab 3d models or 2d models. Very nice.Reply
Sounds nice, but...Adam Demeter | April 22, 2013 Verified Download (What's this?)
...once it's installed, where is it? How do you use it? I didn't see it in the readme...and now I can't find that, either. Poorly set up, to start out. Certainly, if I ever find out how to use it and it's good, I'll change my review. But not until then.Reply

Welcome from the Dean
A Message from the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
Welcome to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Since the Middle Ages universities have provided society with an institution that promotes learning and discovery. The core courses of the original universities centered on the arts and sciences, specifically Art, Music, History, Rhetoric, Law, Medicine and Math. While the modern university has greatly expanded from these disciplines their core concepts of gathering information, engaging in critical thinking, and communicating the results to a wider setting are still the major hallmarks of a university.
At UIS the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences attempts to provide a setting where students and faculty can engage in intellectual exploration and discovery of ideas and concepts which promote the individual's mind for lifelong learning. This learning is achieved in a variety of modes across a wide spectrum of disciplines. We offer 13 undergraduate majors, 6 master's degrees and 5 additional areas of study through on campus, online and blended programs. Our 6 undergraduate and 2 graduate online programs lead the nation in innovation allowing for students worldwide to earn their degree away from campus. I invite you to explore our web site for more information on our academic programs. The college also supports the Emiquon Field Station as not only a natural preserve, but as a working field laboratory for students, faculty, and the public.
With our membership in COPLAC (Council on Public Liberal Arts Colleges) UIS is recognized as a leader in the liberal arts and sciences. Students have the option of engaging in research with faculty members who are experts in their fields. As we move into a more global society our college supports study abroad and cooperative arrangements for students and faculty.
