Band: Nocturnal Depression
Album title: Spleen Black Metal
Release date: 27th May 2015
Label: Avantgarde Music
Baudelaire, Cros, Laforgue, Brusset, Lamartine: the elite names of French literature are presenting the main form of inspiration for Spleen Black Metal, as Nocturnal Depression took their acclaimed works and decided to pour their ideas and ambiance into music. The album title says it all to be frank: the core of music still lies within the roots of black metal - swaying from mid-tempo driven melodies to more bone-crushing parts, with expressive growls and incredibly tenebrous atmosphere. But it's the fluid motion of passages and peculiar use of guitars, vocals and addition of string instruments, which build up the spleen part of it. Spleen Black Metal is one of those albums that is fairly impossible to put into words, because its distinguishing, elegiac atmosphere is its strongest point and speaks for itself. Whatever you may hide inside your soul – shattered memories and dreams of yore - whoever may have broken your heart and spirit; your most deeply buried secrets and scars will come alive when you enter the world of Nocturnal Depression's latest effort. Nocturnal Depression delivered the gloomy, decadent and strangely passionate sensations of the poems in dusky melodies with class and elegance.

Lunch Today: Shrimp Summer Rolls from Banh Mi Saigon
Lunchtime adventures from the Serious Eats editors.
You know those summer days when you're not in the mood for anything too hot or heavy for lunch, your office AC is busted, and you're still full from the crunchy peanut butter tastings? Well, it was one of those days, so when walking across the street to Banh Mi Saigon, the packaged gỏi cuốn, or shrimp summer roll ($5), in the fridge next to the sodas looked light, refreshing, and perfect.
Summer rolls usually fall under that appetizer/not-a-whole-lunch category, but these are long, and after the whole trio, you're actually pretty full. The pliable, translucent rice-paper wrappers snugly bundle up shrimp, rice vermicelli, fresh mint leaves, and long scallions (their green tails stick out). The rolls aren't all that exciting alone, so be sure to get your mini plastic tubs of dark peanut dipping sauce, and the smaller tub of red chile sauce (I like to mix the two to create a fiery-nutty mashup dip).
Maggie and Robyn also grabbed some gỏi cuốn. This might be our new favorite refreshing, summertime lunch fix especially on those rare, very rare, days when we need a break from the sea of sandwiches that end up at SEHQ.

Tupac performed as a hologram alongside Snoop

Okay, so it was weirdly realistic and unbelievably hilarious with Tupac, but really? Is this super exploitative or are we cool with bringing back our favorite late musicians and all-around famous people in digital form? I mean, I like "No Scrubs" as much as the next guy, but where do we draw the line? [People]

There's hope for Homer Simpson. Though most believe the path to prosperity runs through the college quad, it's possible to earn a good salary without earning a bachelor's degree first, according to a new survey. In some cases, graduates get great returns on a two-year community-college degree, the study by CareerBuilder.com and Economic Modeling Specialists, an employment analytics firm, found. In some ways, a graduate with a bachelor's degree in philosophy may be less marketable than someone with two years of technical education, experts say. "It does help if your training directly relates to your profession," says a spokesman for Generation Opportunity, a nonprofit think tank in Arlington, Va. One word of caution: In today's economy, prospects may be dwindling for those with two-year associate's degrees. "Nearly one in five employers reported that their educational requirements for jobs in their organizations have increased over the last five years," says Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America. With that caveat in mind, here are the top 10 best-paid jobs that do not require a four-year degree. — By Quentin Fottrell
Air-traffic controller: $113,547
Air-traffic controllers have a higher median income than pilots ($105,518). And pilots do need college degrees. But an air-traffic controller's salary — like a pilot's — varies wildly "depending on where you are employed, in what capacity and for how long," says Patrick Smith, a pilot for a large commercial carrier and the host of the site AskthePilot.com. As with many professions, a two-year associates degree may be just one of the prerequisites to be considered. Controllers, for instance, typically receive psychological evaluations.
Radiation therapist: $76,627
Most radiation therapy jobs require at least an associate's degree. Therapists must be licensed in most states, though requirements vary state-by-state. Their job demand is forecast to rise 20% from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, significantly more than the 14% average growth rate for all occupations. And while these aren't doctor's wages, the pay is well over the $50,000 median salary for U.S. households.
Dental hygienist: $70,408
True, dental hygienists are often left to do the dirty job of cleaning teeth and inspecting mouths for signs of gum disease, while the dentist mulls over the X-rays. But they too have a very optimistic job outlook: Demand for dental hygienists is expected to soar by 38% over the next decade, versus just 20% for dentists.
Nuclear medicine technologist: $69,638
As a general rule, unusual and specialist jobs often have higher salaries, which is why students need to become more creative about choosing a career, experts say. Nuclear medicine technologists, which prepare and administer radioactive drugs for use when scanning patients for abnormalities, are one such example. Demand in this profession is expected to grow at the same rate as radiation therapists.
Nuclear technician: $68,037
A nuclear technician assists in research and production. And the job requires skills unlikely to be taught in a humanities program. The upside: Nuclear engineers play a vital role in the research and development of ways to harness energy for medicine, military defense and energy. The downside: the possible risk of exposure to radiation. The U.S. Navy — with its nuclear-powered fleet — and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are two big employers of nuclear specialists.
Registered nurse: $65,853
Nursing jobs are expected to soar by 27% from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Experts say it's a rewarding, but highly demanding and oftentimes grueling, profession. Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care, and give advice and emotional support to patients and their families.
Diagnostic medical sonographer: $65,499
Diagnostic medical sonographers use special imaging equipment that directs sound waves into a patient's body — for ultrasounds and sonograms — to assess various medical conditions. The field also has one of the highest growth rates of any job. Demand in this profession is forecast to grow 44% between 2010 and 2020, according to the BLS, which is more than three times the average growth rate for all jobs.
Fashion designer: $63,170
It seems anyone can become a fashion designer these days. Look at Victoria Beckham, the artist formerly known as Posh Spice. But those who don't have the money to establish their own fashion house still need to hone their craft. The late British designer Alexander McQueen worked as an apprentice with Saville Rowtailors Anderson & Sheppard in London and theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans. Experts say computer technology in design is becoming an increasingly important part of the job.
Aerospace engineering and operations technician: $61,547
These technicians are not "rocket scientists," though they could probably claim to be at a high school reunion. They operate equipment used in developing and testing new aircraft and spacecraft. Space exploration is no longer one of the world's top priorities. Employment of aerospace engineers is expected to remain flat from 2010 to 2020, according to the BLS. Because they often work in areas of national defense, they may need security clearances.
Engineering technician: $58,698
For those who don't know what engineering technicians actually do, they help engineers and scientists in their research and development. As with most of these jobs, competition is tough. "A lot of engineering schools are filled with people from the rest of the world," says Gary Burtless, labor economist at the non-profit Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Computer, chemical and electronic engineer jobs, which do require a four-year degree, all earn higher median salaries of over $90,000.

Songwriters behind 'Let It Go' ready a new show
Mark Kennedy (The Philippine Star) - June 4, 2014 - 11:49am
NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez — the Oscar-winning husband-and-wife team behind the film "Frozen" — are preparing an original romantic comedy for the stage called "Up Here."
The influential California theater company La Jolla Playhouse said Tuesday that the show will be part of its 2015-16 season and will be directed by Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers.
The show is about a man who falls in love and it is described as "about moving past ourselves — and those little voices in our head — to find happiness." Lopez and Anderson-Lopez have written the songs, lyrics and story. A few readings have been held, and now a deadline has been made.
"As you can imagine with the Lopezes, it is witty, it is wicked smart, it is irreverent, and it's youthful in its energy. It will appeal to a broad audience but it certainly will be something that even Millennials will relate to," said producer Scott Sanders, who has produced the Tony nominated "After Midnight" this season and recently produced "The Pee-wee Herman Show," which was directed by Timbers.
"I've been fans of the Lopezes for a very long time," said Sanders. Their agent suggested "Up Here," which wasn't finished. The four had a meeting and Sanders was sold: "I said, 'I've spent my whole career betting on talent. We're in.'"
Timbers, who directed "Rocky" on Broadway, also helmed the boundary-pushing "Peter and the Starcatcher" and "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson." Sanders said he is perfect to direct the new musical.
"Some of the characters are written in one of the protagonist's imagination and it's going to allow for some creative staging — so, of course, nobody's better at that than Alex Timbers," he said.
Lopez helped write "The Book of Mormon" and "Avenue Q," while his wife is behind Disney World's "Finding Nemo" show and co-wrote with him the 2011 Disney film "Winnie the Pooh." Together they wrote the songs for "Frozen," including the monster hit "Let It Go."

Solved! Go to Solution.
@apexdestroyer13: Thank you for your patience. You would need to use the Samsung Connect app. There is no mapping option. It does the mapping and stores it internally. Once it finishes vacuuming, you can see the map by checking the history. In Device control, you can either swipe down from the top and pick history or in the touch menu in the top right, select history.
The social team doesn't have the ability to make phone calls, but we would be happy to assist you here. While using the smart home app, are you seeing the option for "history"?
I would like to check a few things with out product specialists. Would you mind if we follow up with you after hearing back from them?
Hello Samsung. I am also having this issue - no map in the history. Is there an update to this?
I have the Samsung Connect app (same as the other user, the Home app referred the Connect app. It took a long time to add the device but eventually did. ) I only see errors and charging notifications in the history.
Please advise. I am beyond frustrated with the false advertising and I'm hoping there is a solution.

The exorbitant cost of fighting catastrophic wildfires is having a negative impact on prevention efforts in the United States.
+The New York Times+ reports that federal dollars allotted to reduce fire risks
thinning trees and clearing acres of deadfall, for examplecontinue to dwindle as the cost of fighting wildfires increases, prompting the government to dip into funds initially reserved for prevention efforts.
"There is a growing consensus in the West that dollar for dollar, these kinds of prevention efforts are paying off," Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon told the+ Times.+ "And when the big fire breaks out, the bureaucracy steals money from the prevention fund and the problem gets worse. The Forest Service has become the fire service."
Exemplifying the problem, the Times reports that the Forest Service 20 years ago spent 13 percent of its budget on firefighting. Today, that figure has swelled to 40 percent.
While studies have underscored the effectiveness of thinning forests and other governmental efforts, homeowners also play a crucial role in keeping fires in check. More than 900 communities nationwide have taken part in the Firewise Communities/USA® Recognition Program, another effective approach in mitigating wildfire risks.

Judith Shulevitz, in the May 13, 2013 New Republic has an interesting read "The Lethality of Loneliness."
"Psychobiologists can now show that loneliness sends misleading hormonal signals, rejiggers the molecules on genes that govern behavior, and wrenches a slew of other systems out of whack. They have proved that long-lasting loneliness not only makes you sick; it can kill you. Emotional isolation is ranked as high a risk factor for mortality as smoking. A partial list of the physical diseases thought to be caused or exacerbated by loneliness would include Alzheimer's, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and even cancer—tumors can metastasize faster in lonely people….
"To the degree that loneliness has been treated as a matter of public concern in the past, it has generally been seen as a social problem—the product of an excessively conformist culture or of a breakdown in social norms. Nowadays, though, loneliness is a public health crisis. The standard U.S. questionnaire, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, asks 20 questions that run variations on the theme of closeness—"How often do you feel close to people?" and so on. As many as 30 percent of Americans don't feel close to people at a given time….
"What He [God] wanted is for us not to be alone. Or rather, natural selection favored people who needed people. Humans are vastly more social than most other mammals, even most primates, and to develop what neuroscientists call our social brain, we had to be good at cooperating. To raise our children, with their slow-maturing cerebral cortexes, we needed help from the tribe. To stoke the fires that cooked the meat that gave us the protein that sustained our calorically greedy gray matter, we had to organize night watches. But compared with our predators, we were small and weak. They came after us with swift strides. We ran in a comparative waddle.
"So what would happen if one of us wandered off from her little band, or got kicked out of it because she'd slacked off or been caught stealing? She'd find herself alone on the savanna, a fine treat for a bunch of lions. She'd be exposed to attacks from marauders. If her nervous system went into overdrive at perceiving her isolation, well, that would have just sent her scurrying home. [John] Cacioppo thinks we're hardwired to find life unpleasant outside the safety of trusted friends and family, just as we're pre-programmed to find certain foods disgusting. "Why do you think you are ten thousand times more sensitive to foods that are bitter than to foods that are sweet?" Cacioppo asked me. "Because bitter's dangerous!"
The article, well worth a read, discusses issues like that only about half of loneliness is hereditary, what areas of the brain light up when we are socially snubbed (the same portion that registers physical pain, i.e., the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex), what has been learned about the impact of the absence of loving parents on loneliness from the isolating experience of Russian orphans; and how Nobelist James Heckman is finding that many low SES children bear loneliness scars from poor parenting growing up (that is akin to the impact found by Steve Suomi and Harry Harlow on isolated rhesus macaques).

Britain's Got Talent hopeful Adam Chandler - from swinging singing quartet Jack Pack - enjoyed auditioning for the show so much he wants to do it all again.
The four singers wowed the judges in the latest edition of the show to go through to the next round and Adam said his only regret was that Simon Cowell was not there to see it because he missed the audition for the birth of his son.
He said: "It was so loud. The audience were really loud, it was wicked."
He added: "I would audition again just for that. Simon wasn't there that day, hopefully he would have liked what we came back with and we hope he would have liked it.
"We've a ll been watching his Twitter thinking come on, just give a little mention that you liked it. He hasn't yet."
This series of BGT is not Chandler's first attempt at impressing the music supremo, he got to the live finals of The X Factor in 2007 as part of the group Futureproof.
He said he had not tried to hide his past, saying: "That's all on the internet, it's not been hidden in any way."

To maximize forage production through the summer, producers should take this time to establish and begin implementing a plan to:
1) Evaluate Pastures for Drought Related Damage
2) Begin Pasture Renovation if Needed
3) Control Pasture Weeds
4) Establish Proper Soil Fertility
5) Set Up Grazing Systems to Reach Success
Let's talk first about drought related matters…Did you know that sections of Alabama still remain in extreme drought? Furthermore, the northern counties of East Central Alabama are still in a severe drought as of 02/27/2017. To look up the drought status of your county, click here to go to the Alabama Drought Monitor.
Pasture Evaluation and Renovation:
As we enter the spring green up in drought recovery years, pasture assessment can help producers evaluate the impact of the drought on their summer perennial pastures. NRCS has an excellent system for examining pastures, and their Guide to Pasture Condition Scoring can be viewed here. In brief, once summer perennials emerge, you will want to determine what species are present (is this the type of forage you desire, or have weeds taken over?) and how well the forages cover your pasture (what percentage of the ground is covered by plants and what percentage is left bare?), plus other important factors.
If pastures grade poorly, with low amounts of desired summer grasses emerging after green up, you may need to consider pasture renovation. Here is a quick guideline to use when determining the amount of renovation you may need:
- If you get a 70% or greater stand of your summer perennial pasture grasses, your pasture is well on its way to recovering without much help. It should recover quickly with proper grazing strategies, weed control, and desired soil fertility. You will want to take care of this pasture as it emerges. Do not allow animals to graze too early, but you should expect good recovery under correct management.
- If a 40-70% stand emerges, pastures should still fully recover with weed control, proper fertility, grazing management, and perhaps a bit more patience. Though forage emergence is lower in stands of 40-70%, there are still adequate tillers underground. Between tillers and seed production, pastures should recover by fall. If these pastures are still thin in the fall, overseeding for winter annuals and/or legumes may prove helpful to keep soil covered and provide grazing through winter.
- In pastures with a stand <40%, much patience and effort will be needed for pasture recovery. Proper soil fertility and weed control are still important, but you may also need to re-establish desired forages in such pastures or consider utilizing a summer annual in some scenarios. You may also want to utilize winter annuals and legumes until the pasture has recovered. Click here to see the suggested planting dates for Alabama forages, and be wise if you decide to work towards re-establishing lost stands. Remember that newly planted grass will need adequate moisture and proper care to survive. It may not be a good idea to plant new perennial stands immediately if we remain in drought conditions.
Weed Control:
Weed control is a necessary part of pasture recovery. Weeds will compete with desired forage species for soil nutrients and sunlight. If pastures became bare during the drought, weeds were given an ideal scenario for growth. After this, weeds can smother out our already weakened stands of summer grasses as they attempt to emerge post-winter. There are two types of weed control you can do now:
- Winter Weed Control: Winter broadleaf weeds may not seem like much of an issue right now. But as we continue into spring, their presence and growth will overshadow desired summer forages as they attempt to emerge. Furthermore, such weeds are stealing valuable nutrients from the soil. Winter broadleaf weeds can be controlled now in most pastures with the usage of products like Sharpen, 2,4-D, Grazon, and Weedmaster. Make sure to read labels for guidelines, and only use herbicides on pastures when and where such products are labeled for use. If you have questions, contact a member of the Animal Science and Forages team and look up weed control options here.
- Summer Weed Control: You can treat summer perennial pastures before emergence with pre-emergent herbicide (Prowl H20). Before spraying pre-emergent, it is important to evaluate pasture emergence. Spraying after summer forages have begun to emerge may set desirable plants back. If you use Prowl H20, it is valuable to know that a supplemental label has been released that will allow you to use Prowl on certain pastures post-emergence, in the growing season, after cutting. See supplemental label here.
Soil Fertility:
Proper soil fertility and pH are necessary for optimum production in all years. However, proper soil conditions following drought are essential for pasture recovery. Take a soil test in all pastures today and correct soil deficiencies to allow pastures the opportunity to succeed. Click here for a more in depth discussion of soil testing.
Proper Grazing Strategies:
As summer forages emerge, it is important to correctly manage and graze recovering pastures. Remind yourself that the green leaves of grass are essential for the plant's overall health and sustainability. Grass leaves catch sunlight that the plant uses to make energy (plant food). If we graze pastures too low, we greatly reduce the amount of leaf available to catch sunlight. This reduces the ability of the plant to make energy, and leads to slower pasture growth and recovery. Now is the time to set up a grazing system to allow you to rotate animals through pastures. Rotational grazing will allow your animals to better utilize the forage available in each pasture, and will increase forage growth since you keep animals from eating specific areas down too low. Healthier pastures will produce more forage, more quickly-allowing your animals better nutrition.
Now is the time to create and begin implementing a plan to allow your pastures to fully recover from drought! Be proactive by taking the steps above to ensure your success.

Cristiano Ronaldo Is In A Baby Battle With The Estranged Mother Of His Son
Although she handed over her baby to Cristiano in exchange for millions of dollars, the soccer player's baby mama is now pleading to have access to their child.
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly facing pressure from the mother of his 6-month-old son to give her access to the child. Cristiano, 25, who shocked the world in June when he revealed he had become a father, reportedly paid the 20-year-old British student £10 million ($15.6 million) to remain silent and grant him "exclusive guardianship." Now the woman regrets her decision to hand over the baby and is willing to pay back all of the money in order to be a part of the baby boy's life.
Check out the most influential kids in Hollywood!
A source tells the Sunday Mirror that the woman has gone back on her agreement to stay out of contact with Cristiano and has been calling him late at night. "She cried down the phone to him and pleads with him." The woman is so depressed about giving up the child — who was conceived during a one-night stand after she met the soccer star in a London nightclub — that she has dropped out of school. In the contract drawn up by his lawyer, she was prevented from discussing the situation with anyone, including her family and friends. "He shouldn't even be in contact with her but they have got into a twisted sort of routine," the source adds. "She feels like she has sold her soul. She has this millionaire lifestyle but can never tell her friends and family the truth about what has happened and that makes her feel incredibly lonely."
Romeo Beckham was named one of Britain's most stylish men in GQ!
But Cristiano doesn't feel bad for the woman, considering a friend of the Portuguese footballer says, "As far as he is concerned it was her choice, her decision." The blue-eyed, curly brown-haired baby, who was first pictured on December 8 at his father's Real Madrid game, is being raised by Cristiano's mother, Dolores, 55, and sisters Elma and Liliana Catia.
David Beckham tearfully pays tribute to his wife and kids as he accepts an award
"Somehow the child's mother has managed to get in touch with him and is hounding him to see the baby," a friend adds. "She will tell him about the millionaire's life she is now leading, with trips to exclusive London nightclubs. Her friends think she is a lottery winner and that's exactly how she's been behaving. But she is finding out that nothing will take the place of seeing her own child grow up. If they carry on talking like this she will only get more and more hurt." What do you think about this situation? Should Cristiano allow the mother of his child to have access to her son?

Sweden: Convicted serial shooter confesses
A man sentenced to life in prison for a string of shootings against immigrants in the Swedish city of Malmo has confessed to one of the murders.
Peter Mangs had so far denied his involvement in a nearly decade-long spate of shootings and murders of immigrants. A court found him guilty in July 2012 of two murders and four attempted murders. His case was compared to that of the right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in neighboring Norway in 2011.
In an interview with local daily Sydsvenskan published Monday, Mangs said he shot and killed a 20-year-old woman and injured her 22-year-old friend.
Mangs told the newspaper his aim was to punish criminals and that the couple's car "gave a criminal impression."

Drewberry Insurance: Workers Estimate Life Insurers Only Payout 50% Of Claims
13 Feb, 2013, 10:30 GMT
LONDON, February 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
In their recent Health & Protection Survey, Drewberry Insurance finds that workers mistakenly believe that the UK's leading life insurers only payout around 50% of all claims made, which significantly underestimates the true payout rate of approximately 98% of claims.
Life insurance is an extremely important aspect of family financial planning but it is often argued by industry experts that the take-up rate is well below an optimal level, leading to a significant personal protection gap in the UK.
One explanation frequently proposed for this low take-up rate is that consumers are sceptical on insurers' willingness to pay valid claims.
A sample of 2,000 workers were asked to estimate what they thought the payout rate was for the UK's leading life insurers. The sample estimated the payout rate to be only 50% of all claims made, which would support the argument that consumers are distrustful of life insurers.
Life Insurance Payout Rate 96% Higher Than Workers Expected
In a sample of leading life insurers the actual payout rate in 2011 was closer to 98% of all claims made.[1] This means that the actual payout rate for life insurance is about 96% higher than what consumers think it is.
Tom Conner, Head of Protection at Drewberry Insurance, says, "It is often the case that clients are worried that insurers have a bad reputation for paying claims but these findings are far more concerning than I expected.
"A considerable amount of work needs to be done to inform and reassure the general public that life insurance has an excellent payout rate with all valid claims being paid, which should help to build confidence not only in life insurance as a product but also in the insurance industry as a whole."
Mortality Risk 7x Higher Than Workers Expected
In assessing the reason for a below optimal take-up rate of life insurance, it could be fairly safe to assume that a low expected payout rate would have a negative impact on consumers desire to purchase this insurance.
However, the survey also found that workers significantly underestimated the chances of passing away during their working life. The sample estimated the chances of an 18 year old dying before age 65 to be around 1 in 70, whereas the actual risk is closer to 1 in 9.[2]
Thus, correcting consumers' underestimation of both the payout rate and the chances of passing away are clear frontrunners for helping to close the life insurance gap.
- The 98% payout rate was calculated from the life insurance payout rates of the following insurers in 2011:
- Legal & General (98%)
- Aviva (99%)
- Liverpool Victoria (100%)
- Scottish Provident (98%)
- Bright Grey (97%)
- Office for National Statistics (ONS) Interim Life Tables, 2008-2011. Drewberry Analysis. A life expectancy calculator using this data can be found at the following link: http://www.drewberrymortgageinsurance.co.uk/mortgage-life-insurance/

Dennis Lehane offers role in book for person who finds dog
Lehane's beagle missing in Brookline
World-famous author and Brookline resident Dennis Lehane is offering to name a character in his next book for anyone who helps return his dog to him.
In a post on Facebook, Lehane wrote "Our beloved rescue dog, Tessa, jumped the fence in Brookline and has been roaming through the wilds of Coolidge Corner for the last 24 hours."
Tessa, a beagle, has a microchip implanted under her skin, Lehane wrote, but was not wearing her tags when she was let out into his yard.
Lehane, whose books often deal with mystery and disappearance, is the author of such best-sellers as "The Given Day," "Gone Baby Gone" and "Mystic River."
Tessa was last seen at about 4:30 p.m., on Christmas Eve on Cambridge Street in Allston, near a Hess gas station, Lehane wrote.
"She's smart, fast, and immeasurably sweet. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body," Lehane wrote.
"Naming of character in the next book for anyone who gets her back to us! (No, really!)," the Facebook post said.

Published on Thursday, August 1, 2013
The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District (Metro Health) announced today that the obesity rate in San Antonio and Bexar County plunged from 35.1% to 28.5% between 2010 and 2012. This means that 70,000 adult men and women are no longer obese, having moved into healthier weight categories.
Obesity is a common risk factor for premature death and disability in the United States. Over the same two-year period, statewide BRFSS data showed a less dramatic decrease in obesity from 31.8% to 29.3%, demonstrating that San Antonio is now fitter than most of Texas. The declining obesity rate in San Antonio also was paralleled by an increase in the healthy weight proportion of the population from 31.2% to 35.4%.
"People are getting more active and living healthier in San Antonio, whether it's walking, cycling or using our parks," Mayor Julián Castro said. "We now have concrete evidence that our investments are paying off and positively impacting the health of our families and the overall quality of life in San Antonio."
The source of these data are the enhanced Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Surveys (BRFSS) conducted at the beginning and end of the $15.6 million Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CCPW) obesity prevention grant received by Metro Health.
"The reduction in obesity is very encouraging and once again demonstrates that 'si, se puede.' Nevertheless, we have a long way to go especially for those of lower income and education and the elderly," said Dr. Thomas Schlenker, director of Metro Health.
Metro Health partnered with the City of San Antonio Departments for Parks and Recreation, Planning, Public Works, Library, Office of Sustainability and the Mayor's Fitness Council, as well as the Bexar County Health Collaborative, San Antonio Housing Authority, YMCA, SA Sports, UTSA, the University of Texas School of Public Health and local school districts to apply CPPW funds in a variety of ways to increase physical activity and improve nutrition. CPPW initiatives include Siclovia, 108 salad bars in schools, ride-to-own bikes, Fitness in the Park classes, SPARKS parks and other shared-used facilities.
Simultaneously, with other funding, the San Antonio River Mission Reach was inaugurated, the B-cycle bike share program was created, Por Vida dining was embraced by restaurants and Greenway Trails were extended.
"San Antonio residents are becoming more physically active and are living healthier lifestyles," said City Manager Sheryl Sculley. "We are making initial strides in the right direction, and are proud of the City programs and initiatives that provide access to resources for families to improve overall quality of life."
The survey showed greatest improvements among middle class Hispanics with some post high school education. However, all sectors of the community, segmented by age, gender, race/ethnicity and geography, moved toward greater fitness, with the exception of those over 65. Obesity rates among seniors may be on the rise.
BRFSS is a periodic, standardized, nationwide survey carried out by the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Locally, the survey was enhanced by tripling the standard sample size to more accurately document any changes over the time period of the Metro Health CPPW grant. Approximately 1,500 people were surveyed by telephone in Bexar County in 2010 and 2012 using standardized questions and methods.
The larger sample size produces a nearly 95 percent confidence rate that the BMI changes are not the product of random error.

Best 25 papers will be published online.Participate in this special issue and get a chance to win the Best Paper Award for Image Processing. Also other authors will have special prizes to be won.
Last Date for paper publication of special issue: 25 August 2015
What is Image Processing?
Image processing is a method to convert an image into digital form and perform some operations on it, in order to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful information from it. It is a type of signal dispensation in which input is image, like video frame or photograph and output may be image or characteristics associated with that image. Usually Image Processingsystem includes treating images as two dimensional signals while applying already set signal processing methods to them.
It is among rapidly growing technologies today, with its applications in various aspects of a business. Image Processing forms core research area within engineering and computer science disciplines too.Image processing usually refers to digital image processing, but optical and analog image processing also are possible.
Analog or visual techniques of image processing can be used for the hard copies like printouts and photographs. Image analysts use various fundamentals of interpretation while using these visual techniques. The image processing is not just confined to area that has to be studied but on knowledge of analyst. Association is another important tool in image processing through visual techniques. So analysts apply a combination of personal knowledge and collateral data to image processing.
Digital Processing techniques help in manipulation of the digital images by using computers. As raw data from imaging sensors from satellite platform contains deficiencies. To get over such flaws and to get originality of information, it has to undergo various phases of processing. The three general phases that all types of data have to undergo while using digital technique are Pre- processing, enhancement and display, information extraction.
If you have worked on any part of image processing prepare a research paper and submit to us
Image processing basically includes the following three steps.
- Importing the image with optical scanner or by digital photography.The acquisition of images (producing the input image in the first place) is referred to as imaging.
- Analyzing and manipulating the image which includes data compression and image enhancement and spotting patterns that are not to human eyes like satellite photographs.
- Output is the last stage in which result can be altered image or report that is based on image analysis.
Purpose of Image processing
The purpose of image processing is divided into various groups. They are:
- Visualization – Observe the objects that are not visible.
- Image sharpening and restoration – To create a better image.
- Image retrieval – Seek for the image of interest.
- Measurement of pattern – Measures various objects in an image.
- Image Recognition – Distinguish the objects in an image.
Applications of Image processing
Image processing has been an important stream of Research for various fields. Some of the application areas of Image processing are….
Intelligent Transportation Systems – E.g. Automatic Number Plate Recognition, Traffic Sign Recognition
Remote Sensing –E.g.Imaging of earth surfaces using multi Spectral Scanners/Cameras, Techniques to interpret captured images etc.
Object Tracking – E.g. Automated Guided Vehicles, Motion based Tracking, Object Recognition
Defense surveillance – E.g. Analysis of Spatial Images, Object Distribution Pattern Analysis of Various wings of defense. Earth Imaging using UAV etc.
Biomedical Imaging & Analysis – E.g. Various Imaging using X- ray, Ultrasound, computer aided tomography (CT) etc. Disease Prediction using acquired images, Digital mammograms.etc.
Automatic Visual Inspection System – E.g.Automatic inspection of incandescent lamp filaments, Automatic surface inspection systems, Faulty component identification etc.
And many other applications…..
To contribute your research work in Image processing please prepare an article on it and submit to us.

Clint Dempsey returning to Fulham on loan
LONDON (AP) — U.S. national team captain Clint Dempsey will be returning to Fulham on loan from the Seattle Sounders.
Cottagers manager Rene Meulensteen said Friday the 30-year-old forward has had a medical test.
Dempsey scored 60 goals in 225 games for Fulham from 2007-12, including 50 goals in 184 Premier League matches. He spent a season at Tottenham before moving to Major League Soccer in August.
Dempsey could spend about two months at Fulham ahead of Seattle's opener against defending MLS champion Sporting Kansas City.
"Clint will be a boost for us," Meulensteen said.

It took 16 games for the Houston Dynamo to win a regular season match on the road in 2011. It took only one game for Houston to accomplish that feat in 2012, after Andre Hainault's stoppage-time goal gave the Dynamo a 1-0 win over Chivas USA, Sunday afternoon at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
The Dynamo controlled the run-of-play for much of the afternoon, outshooting Chivas USA 9-2 and forcing Goats goalkeeper Dan Kennedy to make seven saves for the game.
Houston nearly got on the board in the 13th minute when Geoff Cameron played a long ball over the top of the defense to Brian Ching. The Dynamo captain dribbled toward goal but could not get the shot off before Kennedy came off his line to smother the ball.
The Dynamo continued to press and found another opening in the 25th minute. Bobby Boswell played a through ball to Will Bruin who went one-on-one with Kennedy. The Chivas goalkeeper stayed big, though, and used his leg to deflect the shot attempt.
The home squad's best opportunity came late in the first half off a corner kick from Laurent Courtois. Goats forward Juan Pablo Angel beat the defender to the ball, but his volley hit off the inside of the near post and was cleared away.
Houston continued to push for the game's first goal and nearly found it in the 74th minute. After Kennedy parried away a long-range bomb from Adam Moffat, the Chivas goalkeeper was forced into action again when the ball landed at the foot of Will Bruin. The second-year striker took one touch and fired the ball on target but Kennedy pushed the attempt to the side. Bruin led Houston with four shot attempts including three on goal.
With time running out and one point seemingly in the bag, the Dynamo found the late-game heroics that were prevalent in 2011. In the second minute of stoppage-time, Brad Davis sent in a corner kick that was headed out to Moffat. The Scotsman controlled the ball and sent it back toward the net. Hainault picked up the Moffat pass eight yards away from goal, spun, and fired past a helpless Kennedy. The goal was Hainault's fifth of his career.
Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall recorded two saves in the game en route to his eighth career shutout.
The win was also the 101st regular season victory for Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear.
The Dynamo are next in action on Saturday, March 17, facing the San Jose Earthquakes in San Francisco, CA, at 4 p.m. CT.

Joe Meno with Arthur Nersesian at Quimby's!
Join authors Joe Meno and Arthur Nersesian as the read signs copies of their newest books
Demons in the Spring is a collection of twenty short stories by Joe Meno with illustrations by twenty artists from the fine art, graphic art, and comic book worlds–including Charles Burns, Archer Prewitt, Ivan Brunetti, Jay Ryan, Paul Hornschemeier, Anders Nilsen, Geoff McFedtridge, Kelsey Brookes, Kim Hiorthoy, Caroline Hwang, Rachell Sumpter, KOZYNDAN, Evan Hecox, and Cody Hudson.
Oddly modern moments which occur in the most familiar of public places, from offices to airports to schools to zoos to emergency rooms: a young girl who refuses to go anywhere unless she's dressed as a ghost; a bank robbery in Stockholm gone terribly wrong; a teacher who's become enamored with the students in his school's Model United Nations club; a couple affected by a strange malady–a miniature city which has begun to develop in the young woman's chest, these inventive stories are hilarious, heartbreaking, and unusual. While many of them have never been previously published, others have been featured in the likes of LIT, Other Voices, Swink, TriQuarterly, and McSweeney's.
Joe Meno is the best-selling author of the novels Hairstyles of the Damned, The Boy Detective Fails, How the Hula Girl Sings, and Tender As Hellfire. He was the winner of the 2003 Nelson Algren Award for short fiction and is a professor of creative writing at Columbia College Chicago
Arthur Nersesian will also be on hand to read from his newest book The Sacrificial Circumcision of the Bronx, the highly anticipated follow-up to The Swing Voter of Staten Island–the first two installments in Nersesian's series of novels offering an alternate history of New York: The Five Books of Moses.
Robert Moses was responsible for creating contemporary New York's infrastructure, but he did so at the cost of destroying neighborhoods. In this novel, Robert has looted his brother Paul's share of the Moses family fortune, repeatedly blocked his attempts at gaining public office, thwarted his career in the private sector, and set in motion events that will decimate Paul's home life. Paul Moses's deep-seated rage metamorphoses into an act of terrorism committed against his brother and against a city that he once cherished.
Although it can be read as a stand-alone novel about Robert and Paul Moses, The Sacrificial Circumcision of the Bronx is also a memory play that follows Uli Sarkisian–the hero of The Swing Voter of Staten Island–en route to solving a massive historical crime, while desperately struggling to escape from becoming another one of its victims.
Arthur Nersesian is the author of eight novels, including the smash hit The Fuck-Up (more than 100,00 copies sold), Chinese Takeout (HarperCollins), Manhattan Loverboy (Akashic), Suicide Casanova (Akashic), dogrun (MTV Books/Simon & Schuster), and Unlubricated (HarperCollins), and, most recently, The Swing Voter of Staten Island, the first volume in The Five Books of Moses series. He lives in New York City.

Bakken crude continues to slip relative to WTI CushingBy Ingrid Pan
- A huge surge in oil production in North Dakota has caused differentials between Bakken crude and WTI Midland crude to fluctuate and blow out at several points over the past several years as takeaway structure had lagged production.
- Recently, the differential between Bakken and WTI crudes had stabilized and closed in as newly finished infrastructure has come online. Bakken differentials to WTI had generally remained below $2.00/barrel since March, signaling sufficient takeaway capacity from the basin. Additionally, usage of rail rather than pipelines into Cushing, have allowed Bakken crude to reach refining markets without having to pass through a crowded hub.
- More stable Bakken based crude prices and a lesser risk of the differential blowing out to ~$20+/barrel again is a positive for producers operating in the region.
- In the past week Bakken crude dropped slightly relative to WTI Cushing, in a negative catalyst for producers with Bakken assets such as Continental Resources (CLR), Whiting Petroleum (WLL), and Kodiak Oil and Gas (KOG). However, the spread remains relatively tight, signaling sufficient takeaway capacity in the region.
For the week ended June 28, Bakken crude closed $3.00/barrel below crude at WTI Cushing, a change of $2.00/barrel from the prior week when Bakken traded $1.00/barrel below WTI Cushing. This is a negative factor for producers with Bakken assets as they are receiving lower prices for their oil.
Over the past several years, oil production in the Bakken Shale/Williston Basin in North Dakota has increased rapidly. For example, production in April 2013 reached 727,150 barrels per day compared to 546,840 barrels per day in April 2012 and 285,190 barrels per day in April 2011.
With the surge in oil production came a huge need for oil takeaway infrastructure; however, the completion of infrastructure had struggled to keep up with the growth in production. This caused the price of Bakken crude to lag significantly behind WTI crude at some points over the past few years. Notably, in early 2012, the differential increased to as much as $27.50/barrel.
However, the spread has closed in dramatically since then as companies have successfully found other ways, such as rail, to transport crude out of the area. According to an article by the US Energy Information Administration, "Pipelines are the most cost-effective way to transport crude oil in the United States, but they are expensive to build and may face regulatory hurdles. For these reasons, companies have turned to rail transport to deliver crude oil across the nation." The surge in Bakken production demanded a quick and efficient takeaway solution and so rail capacity out of the area has greatly increased and this addition of infrastructure in the region has allowed Bakken crude to reach refining markets on the East Coast, West Coast, and Gulf Coast.
For example, during Continental Resources' (a major Bakken operator) 4Q12 earnings call management noted, "… a fundamental change occurred in the (Williston) Basin with the emergence of multiple true rail markets, new loading facilities across the play, and the proliferation of offloading facilities at end user refineries on all three coasts. Logistical bottlenecks created market opportunities, allowing rail capacity to grow and become the primary mode of shipment out of Bakken… Now that capacity exceeds production and competitive markets are enabled, Continental has increased rail utilization and has access to refineries and markets throughout the US… During the year, we grew rail shipments to 72% of our Bakken oil in December from a starting point of 46% in January. As an industry, we're displacing high-priced foreign crude on all three coasts, and by switching to low sulfur Bakken crude, refineries can potentially help meet stricter clean air standards… With the expected reduced volatility and now improved visibility and access to… infrastructure, we are narrowing and lowering our 2013 guidance range for differentials to $5-7 off WTI. This represents a 37% improvement on our previous estimates." Additionally, on the company's 1Q13 call, management noted, "First quarter average oil differential was $4.29 per barrel below and favorable to our 2013 guidance range of $5 to $7 for the year. In the first quarter, approximately 80% of our operated Bakken wells were railed out of the basin. Recently, we've seen a narrowing of the Brent/WTI spread, which is bringing the rail option into rough parity with pipeline alternatives." As Continental noted, capacity is keeping pace with production.
From a short-term perspective, the spread changed by $2.00/barrel over the week (with Bakken moving lower relative to WTI Cushing) which was a negative catalyst for producers in the region. However, over the medium to long term, increased infrastructure has allowed for differentials to close and stabilize and has even spurred major Bakken operators such as Continental Resources (CLR) to change guidance on its realized differentials to be closer to WTI. These developments are medium-term positive catalysts for other operators in the region, such as Whiting Petroleum (WLL), Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG), and XTO Energy (part of Exxon Mobil, XOM) and indeed over the medium-term the spread had closed in to trade around par where it was trading as wide as $10/barrel in October 2012, and as wide as $27/barrel in February 2012. Exposure to these assets can also be attained via a passive index ETF like the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE).

That one word is the most typical response I hear whenever I explain to a fellow traveler that I enjoy spending time in Delhi, India. And usually, such travelers throw in an "I just don't get it" or "I don't see the appeal" or "Are you crazy?" as well, finding it extremely difficult to comprehend how I could possibly like this city of thirteen million people.
I don't know. I like Delhi. I've spent a great deal of time in this city over the years and it quickly became one of my favorite destinations in this country.
The Things I Do In Delhi
This is a city where I can wander through the chaotic lanes and alleys shooting off of Chandni Chowk, the never-ending market area in the heart of Old Delhi. It's all about walking slow as I peer into shops selling everything that has ever been created on this planet, from wedding supplies to musical instruments to food, talking with street vendors, dodging the bicycle rickshaws and just soaking in the colorful and energetic atmosphere. Maps are not needed in these parts as one just needs to start walking and allow the adventure to unfold.
This city is also where I can duck into the Sisganj Gurdwara, a small Sikh Temple on Chandni Chowk. Enter the main gate, hand your shoes to the shoekeepers behind the counter, walk around to the entrance, take a seat at the back of the room and enjoy the soothing music, hypnotic praying and people-watching opportunities before you.
From here, I like to take a taxi or auto-rickshaw over to Raj Ghat, a most pleasant park area near the banks of the Yamuna River. This is the site of a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi and a simple walk around the premises, with a few moments of reflection in front of the eternal flame, offers a surprisingly calm experience in a city that is far more known for noise and chaos.
Luckily, this is not the only location in Delhi that offers such a peaceful experience. Jump on the metro in Rajiv Chowk, jump off the metro at Nehru Place, exit the front door of the station, turn left and walk for approximately fifteen minutes until you reach the main gate of the Lotus Temple, also known as the Baha'i House of Worship. Entrance is free and after a short meandering stroll through the gardens and a quick introduction to the Baha'i faith, given by one of the temple staff, you'll be allowed to enter the main room/meditation/prayer hall where you can sit in complete silence for as long as you wish. In fact, you must be silent inside as no talking is allowed at all and as a result, this one room has to be the absolute quietest location in all of Delhi. It's a wonderful, wonderful place to spend some time.
At around 4pm on any given day, hop on the metro once again and ride out to Akshardham, which is not only the name of the metro stop, but also the name of the 8-year old temple/cultural center that has quickly become one of the most impressive sights in Delhi and beyond. Expect long lines and a thorough security check (you cannot bring any bags, backpacks or any electronics inside whatsoever but they do have a secure cloakroom where you can leave your stuff for free) but once you're inside the temple grounds, you'll need at least a couple of hours to explore this magnificent sight. Why visit in the late afternoon? It allows you to experience the complex in both daylight and after sunset when the structure is fully lit up, something that will almost certainly leave you in complete awe.
Where Do I Eat In Delhi?
I'll make this simple. Here's a list of my favorite eating locations in Delhi.
- Food Stall in Connaught Place (M Block, Connaught Circle) – I don't know the name but I do know that it's located next to a fresh fruit juice stand on the outer road, among a cluster of food stalls near the old fire station. It's painted blue and there is a man at a tiny table sitting in front. Just ask him for some food and he will ensure you get a huge plate of spiced beans and rice, with raita and vegetables, for only 40 Rupees (70 US cents). It's delicious food and the stall is very popular with local businessmen working in the area.
- Nizam's – The specialty is kathi kebab rolls, made of a think pan-fried bread rolled up and stuffed with any number of fillings, including egg, vegetables, chicken or mutton. I've been eating here ever since my first visit to Delhi back in 2001 and I go back every single time. It's a welcoming place, always crowded and always satisfying. (Kathi kebabs range from 120 – 220 Rps each)
- Vegetarian Restaurant across from the New Delhi Train Station – there are dozens of restaurants in this area but if you enter the main lane, you'll easily identify the restaurant in the photo below. It may look grubby but it's been there forever, they cook every meal to order and it is consistently very tasty. They have dozens of North Indian dishes to choose from and after you finish your meal, don't forget to have a sweet lassi from the lassi stand directly across the lane. (60 Rupees per dish)
- Tadka – It's only been around for five years or so but this place, located in the Main Bazaar of Pahar Ganj, is about as ideal a restaurant as there is for first-time visitors to India. It's clean, it's friendly, the food is great and everything is prepared fresh. Try out their vegetarian thali (it comes with two veg curries, dhal, curd, bread and rice) or their Navratan Korma (one of the best I've had in all of India) and you'll see why this place is often filled with travelers looking for an excellent and safe first meal or two.
- Pandit Gaya Prasad Shiv Charan Paranthewala – Located on Paranthe Wali Gali ('the lane of parantha makers') in the Chandi Chowk area of Old Delhi, this popular local eatery has apparently been around since 1872. You can expect a wait and once it's your turn, you'll have to squeeze together with other diners at one of the handful of tables. Order a parantha (pan-fried wheat bread) or two or three and you can choose to have them stuffed with cheese, peas or potatoes. You'll also receive a couple of vegetarian curries, some chili sauce and a sweet banana sauce to dip those yummy paranthas straight into. Good stuff. (60 Rps per person)
- Nirula's – Desert time! Now I'm not even sure if this place really serves good ice cream but when you want an evening escape from the Delhi heat and are in the mood for something sweet, head down to Nirula's, located in the K Block of Connaught Place, right next to Sagar Ratna, a very good South Indian restaurant. Once inside, you'll have a choice of all the typical ice cream setups (cones, sundaes, banana splits, as well as ice cream sodas, milkshakes and cakes). I often end my long days in Delhi with a Lime Fizz Ice Cream Soda and it never disappoints, nor does the laid-back atmosphere of this small hangout.
Where Do I Stay In Delhi?
There are many areas of Delhi to sleep in, but I always choose to book accommodation in Pahar Ganj, a somewhat chaotic market area directly across from the New Delhi Train Station. I personally enjoy the constant hustle and bustle (maybe not the constant noise so much), the availability of good budget hotels and the convenient location between Old and New Delhi.
Here's where I typically stay…
- Vansh Palace – It's cheap (400 Rupees per night), the rooms are large, if not somewhat rundown, you get a private bathroom and it's generally quiet on this small lane. Ideal hotel for the budget-conscious as the room size is well above average for this city.
- Raj's Cozy Inn – The room's are smallish but this 11 room 'inn' is clean, offers hot water, decent beds and a friendly atmosphere, all for a reasonable price of 495 Rps (very small room) or 650 Rps (larger room).
- Smyle Inn – With two 'wings', rooms range from around 700 – 1050 Rupees per night. The rooms are quite decent and spacious (especially the more expensive rooms) and they come with hot water, with breakfast on the rooftop included as well. It's a bit on the pricey side for what you get overall but it's a reliable option nonetheless.
- Hotel City Heights – For those looking to splurge a little, for around $40 USD per night, you can get a proper hotel room in the heart of Pahar Ganj. The rooms are very large, with comfortable, proper mattresses, big bathrooms, hot water, sitting area and air-conditioning. It might not be the friendliest hotel in the city, but it's certainly an excellent value, especially for first-time visitors.
Are you ready to give Delhi a try? If you stick to the above I'm certain you'll have as rewarding an experience as I have each and every time I'm here. Even my group seemed to thoroughly enjoy this city, which is quite remarkable considering that, for almost all of them, it was their first two days being in this crazy country that is India.
So, don't count this city out before you have a chance to really experience what it has to offer, to do Delhi the Wandering Earl way!
And for those who may be visiting India for the first time, it can be a good idea to use a local to help organize your airport pickup, accommodation and train tickets for the first week or so. It will certainly make your adjustment much easier. I have a personal contact – Ajay, the owner of Truly India Travel – who assisted me with the planning and reservations for my Welcome to India Tour. He's as honest, kind and dedicated as they come and if you need anything in India, at the fairest prices imaginable, he's your man. (Contact: [email protected] – tell him Earl sent you!)

Yesterday I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04. The upgrade went smoothly. I did a restart and then strange things started to happen.
After each upgrade I set my Ubuntu to automatic login(been upgrading from 10.04 until now without a fresh installation, always 64-bit). As expected yesterday the login window appeared. The first thing that caught my eye were the lines below my user name. They say "No value has been set". Then I type in my password as usual. And then the big one: "Invalid password, please try again"!
From that time on I tried a couple of things:
Tried my different passwords. I always use the same password for Ubuntu but still I gave it a shot.
My default language in Ubuntu is English. That is different from my keyboard layout that has a Slovenian layout. It has been a problem before that our Slovenian layout keyboard and English OS don't always cooperate as they should. That is the reason my Ubuntu password has only numbers and English letters. So I tried the on screen keyboard in Ubuntu to click my way through the login again no success.
- Then I tried to change my password. I followed these instructions. First through GRUB. After typing in "passwd myusername" I got a puzzling response. The terminal said:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchangedThe file system state was read/write because I used
fsckcommand before going into root. Then I tried the second option with the Live CD. Erased the password from the shadow file but still no success logging in Ubuntu.
Then there is the thing with the Guest session account. No matter which option I choose (Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2D.) and login nothing happens. The screen goes blank for 3 seconds, the hard disk makes some noise and the login screen comes back on.
Now I don't know what to do next. I have a dual-boot system and Win7 boots up without problems. Ubuntu 11.04 runs great from Live CD. I did a
memtest just to be sure and there were no errors. So I am kind of certain it is not a hardware problem.

If you require any further information or if I was unclear please let me know! What else can I do?

In 2006 when I was diagnosed with cancer, part of the treatment process was receiving a Picc Line. Throughout my treatment process, I was disappointed that I could not find something to cover it. Hence the idea of establishing Aya Covers in order to create fashionable and comfortable covers for customers going through treatment. More importantly I wanted patients to proudly wear the Aya symbol which represents endurance and provide them strength through their journey.
When choosing a size, please measure your bicep in inches for size accuracy. Please send me a note if you have any questions.
*It is important to measure accurately as sizing is essential for proper fit.*
*YS and YM sizes are made for children and are 4.5 inches in length. All other sizes are between 6 and 7 inches in length depending on size ordered.
*Please note, due to customers receiving treatment and hygiene reasons there are no refund or exchange.
Thanks so much and looking forward to your order :)

BioShock Infinite team seeking 'network engineer'
Could the team be working on some kind of multiplayer mode for BioShock Infinite? A job listing suggests so.
Many were disappointed--but not necessarily surprised--to see BioShock Infinite delayed to 2013. In an open letter to fans, studio head Ken Levine promised that "BioShock Infinite is a very big game, and we're doing things that no one has ever done in a first-person shooter... The great can be made greater, and we owe it to both ourselves and to you, our fans, to take this opportunity."
To keep the team focused on meeting its new 2013 date, Levine said that the team will skip media events like E3. But what could the team be so fervently working on?
Could the team be working on some kind of multiplayer mode for Infinite? A job listing on LinkedIn certainly suggests so. "Right now we're looking for a talented and experienced individual to help us with the networking aspects of BioShock Infinite," a job posting for a Network Engineer says. The hire will have to "work with the team who created BioShock network code" and will be "responsible for delivering a robust, scalable, and responsive client-side networking support on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms."
So far, Irrational Games has shown nothing about a possible multiplayer offering for Infinite. However, the franchise has dipped into an online mode before, with BioShock 2. While competitive multiplayer would stray far from offering something "no one has ever done" before, it would be intriguing if the relationship between Elizabeth and Booker could somehow be replicated in a cooperative mode.
Andrew Yoon posted a new article, BioShock Infinite team seeking 'network engineer'.

Juan Aguacate is a man on a mission. Once he was a humble, down-on-his-luck farmer; in Guacamelee! he is a barrel-chested hero, a wearer of striking tattoos, shiny masks and impossibly tight trousers, following in the footsteps of the legendary lucha libre Mexican wrestlers.
El Presidente's daughter – the most beautiful woman Juan ever laid eyes upon – has been kidnapped by Carlos Calaca, a glory-hungry fighter who made a pact with the devil. That Satan now finds himself trapped in the body of an annoyed rooster gives you some idea of the villain you must track down, as well as the sense of humour running through this adventure.
So as you bound through Mexicana themed villages decked with flowers and piñatas, kicking flapping chickens out of the way as you go, you'll come across washed up wrestlers, giant enchiladas and furious, attention-seeking witches. Offsetting the more familiar Mexican imagery is a laid-back, electronic soundtrack with just a subtle hint of mariachi music. Check out guacamelee.com for news of how to buy the score.
Initially Guacamelee! seems a bright, fizzing PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 platformer. Within just a few minutes, however, you'll find intelligent gameplay design and a cheekiness that makes Guacamelee! impossible to put down for long. And lots and lots of irritated poultry.
One minute you're body-slamming flying dragons into the ground, the next you'll be flitting into a parallel world of lost souls and hidden passages. One thing's for sure, in Gaucamelee! your brain will take just as much of a pounding as Juan's enemies.
A heady mixture of pixel-perfect platforming and whirlwind combat, Guacamelee! is a 2D adventure that's anything but flat. After exploring the local village, you're thrown into the deep end as Carlos Calaca strikes. From then on you'll leap over pits of deadly spikes, switch between the worlds of the living and the dead and risk splitting your prized luchador costume to save El Presidente's daughter.
Stalking haunted forests and ancient caverns, Calaca's undead minions evolve from simple guards to multi-limbed, sword-toting assassins, often with colour-coded shields that require specially learned moves to breach. Get a friend to help you out in co-op mode on the PS3 version of the game – you can even use your PS Vita as a second controller via Cross Play. Your reward? Huge piñatas stuffed with cash for new wrestling moves.
As you combine finding mariachi band members and building epic enchiladas with swatting aside sombrero-wearing skeletons, you'll realise that Guacamelee! is a finely honed brawler with a real sense of adventure, style and fun – just like the flamboyant wrestlers it adores.

Nets halt skid at 3 losses with Shaun Livingston in lock-down mode
NEW YORK -- Neither Shaun Livingston nor the Nets were expecting to see the backup point guard playing this many minutes in his first season in Brooklyn.
On a team dealing with a rash of injuries all season, Livingston has been one of the key figures in the Nets' revival after a dismal start.
Starting alongside Deron Williams with All-Star guard Joe Johnson sidelined, Livingston's seventh steal of the night with 5.8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter helped sealed Brooklyn's win 108-102 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
"I've been on the wings obviously guarding some of the better scorers, but just trying to be active, be disruptive and help my teammates," said Livingston, who also had 13 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.
Paul Pierce scored 25 points and Williams added 21 for the Nets, who stopped a three-game losing streak.
The Nets saw their first big lead of the night, a 15-point advantage, go to waste in the first half as Philadelphia managed to take a 44-37 late in the second quarter before Brooklyn answered back with a 17-5 run to head into the half with a 54-49 lead.
Brooklyn then seemed like it was about to run away with the game with a strong start to the third quarter, relying on its defense to force some key turnovers. After a bad pass turnover by Philadelphia's Tony Wroten, Livingston found Williams for a 3-pointer that made it 78-59 with 4:21.
Trailing 84-69 to start the fourth quarter, the 76ers made nine of 10 shots and James Anderson's 3-pointer made it 104-102 with 22 seconds left.
Pierce, who made all 14 free throws, hit a pair after Michael Carter-Williams fouled him to increase Brooklyn's lead to 106-102 and Livingston sealed the victory by intercepting Carter-Williams' pass, Philadelphia's 26th turnover of the night, and converting a pair of free throws to put it away.
Livingston has come a long way since that awful knee injury almost seven years ago as a 21-year-old with the Los Angeles Clippers.
In 45 games for the Nets, the 6-foot-7 point guard has averaged 7.8 points and 3.1 assists over 24.6 minutes. As a starter, he's logged 29.2 minutes in 23 games, posting 9.4 points, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game, showing flashes of the player that was supposed to be part of the Clippers' future before his injury.
"Honestly, I'm not trying to jinx it and think about it. It's a situation where I know where I've come from, mentally as well," Livingston said, adding that he's leaned on Kevin Garnett on how to manage his body.
"I just want to continue my same confidence, continue to play with the same confidence and I give credit to (Nets coach) Jason (Kidd) as well because I talk to him every day. Just getting a chance to pick his brain gives me confidence and to see the confidence that he has in me as well."
The Nets had lost to division leaders Toronto, Oklahoma City and Indiana after starting 2014 by winning 10 of their first 11 games, but got back on track against a Philadelphia team that has lost 13 of its last 16 games.
Carter-Williams scored 21 points for the 76ers, who have lost three straight. Wroten had 18 off the bench and Thaddeus Young added 17.
The Nets scored 32 points off Philadelphia turnovers.
"I think we had some careless turnovers. We tried to force some shots that led to turnovers," Carter-Williams said.
76ers coach Brett Brown wished his team could have kept those mistakes down like they did in the final quarter, when they had just two turnovers.
"Isn't that amazing? You actually get to shoot and have a chance to score," the first-year coach said.
Mirza Teletovic had 20 points off the bench, hitting 5 of 9 3-pointers.
Johnson was held out of the game due to tendinitis in his right knee. The Nets were also without reserve forwards Andrei Kirilenko, who missed his last three games with a sore right calf, and Andray Blatche, who was out with a sore hip.
Game notes
Former team minority owner and rapper Jay-Z and his wife, Beyonce, took in the game, sitting next to Russell Wilson, quarterback of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. . Brooklyn's 15 steals were a season-high. . Garnett recorded five blocks, making him the 18th player in NBA history with 2,000 career blocks.

DC Legends is a turn-based tactical game with a variety of DC Comics heroes and villains players can acquire and use to fight through single-player skirmishes and PvP clashes.
