I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of the personal "Child's Horoscope" by Liz Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.
Most parents long to provide their children with the best they can offer on every level. But what is "the best"? The birth horoscope of a child is a map of patterns and potentials which exist in that child from the moment of birth. Encouragement of
these potentials in childhood can help a child to develop greater confidence and hope for a future which is more authentically his or her own, so that greater happiness and fulfillment are possible later in life.
II. Your Child's Psychological Type
In this concise chapter Liz Greene describes the child's general temperament and his characteristic approach to life.
The rich array of individual abilities and potentials portrayed in Marco's birth horoscope is set against the background of an inherent temperament bias which may be partly hereditary but is also the reflection of a mysterious essence which belongs to
him alone. This mysterious "something" is already at work within Marco, helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him.
[..] As he gets older, it would be helpful if Marco
were encouraged to take such times of withdrawal as normal and natural, so that he can use these times to explore what he really thinks and feels without fearing reprisal from family members who have come to depend on his more [...]
III. The Characters in the Story
This is one of the most comprehensive chapters of the "Child's Horoscope". This short version touches only on a few of the central characters in your child's personality. The complete report provides a detailed description on 7-9 pages.
The tension between the main characters in Marco's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
[..] More introverted siblings may sometimes find Marco trying
because he can seem overbearing and tactless, spilling out secrets and asking embarrassing questions. He may also forget to respect others' boundaries, simply reaching for what he wants without asking permission [...]
[..] Anything that tastes, smells, looks, feels or sounds good will not only please him he will invariably want more of it. He can
display an unashamed love of luxury and comfort, and will quickly show his disapproval if the environment cannot provide the gratification he [...]
Hidden traits
[..] The
secret dreamer and aesthete which lies hidden within him is a very creative and positive element in his personality, for it provides not only sensitivity to others but also a link with a deeper and more meaningful reality. But Marco does not like the
feeling that his [...]
IV. Emotional Needs and Patterns in Relationships
This chapter contains valuable information on the child's basic needs and the relationship with his parents. The complete horoscope covers this chapter on 5-6 pages.
Every child has particular ways in which he or she experiences and seeks emotional contact with others, and this may not always accord with other, more dominant personality traits.
[..] Thus he may sometimes seem moody and
inconstant in his friendships, not through lack of empathy for others but rather through finding unimaginative companions stultifying. Most importantly, a sense of emotional closeness is fundamental for his well-being, and he will always [...]
[..] Naturally no parent, however loving and kind, can offer a constant uninterrupted blanket of solicitous love and concern. And there may be external issues such as work
pressures or family conflicts which make the time Marco's father has available less than his son might [...]
V. Fears and Insecurities
Knowing about their child's fears can help parents to react with love and understanding in challenging situations. The child's main fears and insecurities are described on 2-3 pages in the full report.
VI. Looking toward the future
Many parents wonder about the future of their child. Every child has his own way to develop his potential. What this means for the individual child is described on 2-3 pages in chapter six of the complete Child's Horoscope.

Cesar Pastrana, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, pleaded guilty to the charges against him inside a Cobb County courtroom on Friday afternoon."
Former church volunteer sentenced to life for molestation
Follow the link for the entire sordid story and a video.
Some brain-dead idiots and politically correct brainwashed buffoons assist in keeping their beloved "immigrants" inside the USA.
Too many corporate and smaller business entities are thrilled with paying low wages and not having to offer any job benefits and too-often have their illegal alien virtual slaves paid "under the table" allowing the person in charge to not have to send funds to the federal government for Social Security and Medicare fees and ignore worker compensation fees legitimate firms pay.
Some employers do deduct those fees from the illegal alien's pay but do not send that money to where it belongs. More profit for the employer!!!
Do you understand the basic economic law of supply and demand?
There is a balance between those working or seeking work and those hiring workers.
More workers than jobs? Wages drop and benefits tend to become less or disappear.
Ask one of the many working-poor class USA citizens about doing work needed to keep our country and society functioning and the often lousy pay and how rare benefits are.
Illegals do drive down wages and allow fewer firms to offer benefits.
And the many millions of illegals drive up rental costs.
That supply/demand equation impacts many aspects of our life.
And it tends to be the huge number of folks at the bottom levels of the socio-economic hierarchy affected the most by supply/demand and usually in a negative way.
Negative because the greedy vile, scum, filth vermin at the upper levels of the socio-economic hierarchy can control many factors affecting the supply/demand equation.
The elite's politician figurehead lackeys assist their schemes and scams that keep the lower classes, the despised commoners, stuck in an economic quagmire.
Those commoners are YOU and likely everyone you know or even see as you wander through life.
Well, you will see elites on TV but in person? Very unlikely.
America's working-poor class often performs jobs the politician pukes state that "Americans will not do" while assisting their masters… the USA elites and businesses big and small.
Local media will mention the many negatives about illegal alien invaders but the mass media tends to glorify illegals and use emotional appeals to brainwash USA citizens into accepting those invading our once sovereign country.
Even local media is often guilty of omitting mention of a suspect's or convicted criminal's being an illegal alien.
I specifically researched the ongoing invasion of the USA for 9 years and was also active in warning USA citizens of the many negatives of that invasion and that people within the USA were assisting the invasion for
various reasons.
Obama is a typical main figurehead lackey politician who assists his masters in allowing the USA to be invaded and so many lower-class USA citizens to be harmed in many ways.
Try a Web search and learn for yourself how common illegal alien-committed crimes are.
Just one of many reasons I believe that a full-scale military coup is the only way to save the USA and ourselves.

MATTHIAS, Basedau e WEGENAST, Tim C. OIL AND DIAMONDS AS CAUSES OF CIVIL WAR IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS?. colomb.int. [online]. 2009, n.70, pp. 35-59. ISSN 0121-5612.
Recent research has increasingly questioned the link between natural resources and violent conflict while stressing the importance of resource-specific context conditions under which internal conflicts become more likely. This paper engages in a systematic analysis of six of these resource-specific conditions comparing 15 African oil and diamond producing countries. Employing a Boolean logic, the results of our analysis indicate that, typically, a conflict-ridden diamond or oil producer is highly dependent on resources, its revenues are hardly spent on distributional policies and the security apparatus and, moreover, it suffers from intercommunal problems in the producing regions. Little income from resources per capita and substantial production of lootable resources in peripheral regions seem to constitute necessary conditions for civil war. Thus, our findings imply that future theoretical models and empirical strategies should integrate the full set of (resource specific) context conditions. Efforts to raise a more integrative approach combining quantitative and qualitative research designs seem particularly promising.

Wow, where do you start with comments like this one, posted above:
"Hmmmmmmm you blame the Unions because the owner/operator of Hostess demanded the employees take a cut in benefits and a THIRTY-TWO PERCENT reduction in pay. Were you born stupid or did someone drop you on your head at birth?"
First, the sure sign that you've lost the debate is that the best you can come up with is an insult.
Second, let's get the facts straight - the company was asking for an 8% cut, not 32%. And the wages would then have increased 3% over the next 3 years. Was that really too much to ask in order to save the company?
So, yes - Unions have plenty of blame to share in this. In good times, unions are quick to use the profitibility of a company as justification for a large wage increase. Yet, in the bad times, when a company is losing money, the same logic doesn't apply. You can't have it both ways. Toward the end, the top four senior executives at Hostess agreed to work for $1.00 per year. The unions offered nothing. And there you have it - no more Twinkies.
The good news is that some smart entrapreneur will pick up the pieces and resurrect a new company - without unions to drag them down. Funny thing about that supply and demand pendulum - it always seems to center itself.

Increased New Year's Eve patrols
CADILLAC -- You hear the warning every New Year's Eve: Don't drink and drive! Police say not everybody listens to their pleas. Last year approximately 300 people were arrested for drunk driving statewide on the holiday.
The Michigan State Police post in Cadillac will have increased drunk driving patrols tonight and for throughout the weekend.
In Michigan it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. People caught drunk behind the wheel could face up to 93 days in jail, a $500 fine, 360 hours of community service, 180 days driving suspension, and six points on their license. Those who are convicted under the state's new "Super Drunk" law could face an even harsher punishment.

User Review: REI Quarter Dome
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: The easiest tent ive ever set up
Weight: My Packed Weight 3lbs 14oz
Price Paid: $239
I purchased this tent for a summer trip to Yellowstone and Zion. I planned on most of the time using the tent by myself, and ocasionally sharing it with a guy similar in size to me (about 5'8"). I was very impressed with the amount of room in this tent considering my pack weight for the tent was less than 4 pounds (I use titanum stakes). The vestibules held my 3700ci pack with no problem. The amount of overhang also allowed me to sit with the vestibule open during light rain, this was nice because it allowed a really nice breeze to flow thru the tent when I would normally would have been closed up under the fly. The other feature that I really liked was the fact that I could attach the fly to the tent and never take the two apart saving time.
My only complaints about the tent was that some condensation did build up on the points where the velcro held open the vents and it driped onto the mesh and then on me. Also that the to get the fly really tight you had to sinch the buckles down so much that it bent the tent poles in about 1 1/2 inches. Really no big deal for sleeping but did limit the amount of headroom.

Remove Images Coconut Wireless This Week in Review WEDNESDAY, Mar. 23 March 31, 2005 A coalition of local environmental groups including Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, Hawai'i's Thousand Friends and the Sierra Club Hawai'i Chapter are calling for state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Director Peter Young to complete a fairly long list of tasks within two months or resign. Pissed at Young for his reluctance to ban commercial usage of the 'Ahihi-Kina'u Natural Area Reserve and his ham-fisted attempts to dissolve the State Water Commission, the groups want Young to hire a bunch of technically proficient deputy directors and managers, set deadlines for adopting instream flow standards throughout the state and just generally do his job. By coincidence, this comes as the state House Committee on Water, Land and Ocean Resources are considering auditing Young and the DLNR The Associated Press is running a story today saying that Baghdad—which means "Garden of God" in Arabic—has really gone to seed. Gee, I wonder why! Now I would have thought that all the bombs we've been dropping and near-continuous mortar and small-arms fire we've been exchanging with the still nebulous insurgency 23 months after we supposedly won the war would have made the place a paradise on Earth. Silly me. In fact, the AP reported that London-based Mercer Human Resources Consulting surveyed 215 cities worldwide, and found that the quality of life in the so-called "City of Peace" has dropped to dead last—behind even Fargo, North Dakota! But there is good news—today's Maui News is reporting that this week the island-based 411th Engineer Battalion of the U.S. Army Reserve will be returning to Hawai'i after a year's tour in Iraq. |

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy (cont.)Medical Author:
Bhupinder Anand, MD
Medical Editor:
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MDJay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. In this Article
What is the preparation for flexible sigmoidoscopy?In order to obtain accurate results, the rectum and the lower colon must be completely clean of stool. Your doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to cleanse your colon. In general, this requires the use of one or two enemas prior to the procedure and may also call for a laxative and some dietary modifications. Under special circumstances, such as the presence of significant diarrhea, the preparation may be waived. Do I continue my medications for flexible sigmoidoscopy?In general, you can continue to take your regular medicines. You should, however, inform your doctor of all the prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking as well as any allergies you may have. Certain drugs increase the risk of bleeding if biopsies are performed; these include aspirin, blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin), and NSAIDs such as Motrin and Advil. Your doctor may ask you to stop these medications for several days before the procedure. You should also alert your doctor if you have an artificial heart valve, hip or knee prosthesis, or have a disease of the heart valves such as mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, or mitral regurgitation. Patients with these conditions may need antibiotics prior to flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or dental procedures to prevent infection of the heart valves or the prosthesis. |

It's not a moot theory that NAT/site local addressing causes real world problems. The academic (in the bad sense of the word), ISO style moot theorizing is the repeated haranguing about the evils of NAT and site local addresses and the implication that the IETF could issue an edict and prevent their use in (or near) an IPv6 Internet. So why are you only repeating what you've said many times before instead of writing an RFC that will repudiate and replace BCP 5?the reason I repeat these things once in awhile is because a significant fraction of people still don't get it, and they're hindering progress. Here progress is measured only by published RFCs. Repetitions of your inflammatory litanies of the evils of NAT and site local addresses prevent progress. Every replay resets things to the start of the "we gotta have them; no we don't; you're ignorant and wrong; no you are; you're so clueless that you use Windows; no you are and your mother too" groove. I doubt there is anything that can be done about NAT and site locals, but one thing is clear. Your repetitions prevent progress as much as the manipulations of the IETF's bureaucratic machinery by your moot debate opponents....no, "debate" is wrong. When I was an academic debator, the judges allowed only a fixed number of fairly short opportunities to speak. You claim that you do the IETF a service by replaying your old position statements because people are ignorant, stupid, illiterate, and didn't understand before. Do you really think that makes sense? the reason I don't try to repudiate BCP 5 is that it's clear that for IPv4 we're out of addresses, and you can't really solve the problem in IPv4 any other way except to move to another address space. Let's assume that's true. Where is your I-D for a BCP against site local addresses for IPv6? I dislike NAT and site local addresses in theory and practice. I'm not volunteering to work on an anti-site-local BCP because I have no hope that it could affect the real world, and because I don't have a good enough alternative for site local addresses. That application of mine and every other real world application will have to deal with NAT and site local addresses forever. Life Sucks, but I've not found an alternative I prefer.

The following article was written for an American audience on the benefits of being open and honest with your children. Ostensibly it relates this to sexual activity within adolescents but one can take its ideas and use them in all aspects of bringing children up to become emotionally mature and responsible adults.
One out of 10 teen girls in America will have a pregnancy before she is 20. Fifty percent (50%) of all new reported HIV cases occur in young people 15-24. America has the highest rates of teen pregnancy and births of all developed countries. In the United States, the teen pregnancy rate is nine times higher than in the Netherlands. In the United States, the teen abortion rate is eight times higher than in Germany. The US teen gonorrhea rate is 74 times higher than in France.
Parents and policy makers in other countries such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands know that using fear, shame and guilt does not work to reduce risk-taking behaviour and instead believe their children have a right to uncensored, medically accurate, sex education and to access to contraception and condoms. They respect their youth, value them as capable and responsible, and view them as assets in the society, not liabilities. Their youth, when given these rights and respect, behave responsibly. With this openness and honesty, European teens have sex no earlier and in some cases later than American teens and have fewer partners. It's not rocket science, just good common sense for growing up in the 21st century. Abstinence until marriage may be a religious value for some, but virginity until marriage is no longer the norm in any developed country. Yet our federal government is spending over $100 million dollars a year of public tax money for programs that have only one message- no sex until marriage, and teens must be told that if they do have sex before marriage, they will suffer physical and psychological damage. The 90 percent of adults who didn't wait for marriage must be walking around badly wounded and scarred. Forty-nine of the 50 states are taking this money.
What's going on in America that places our young people in such peril? What's so different about our culture that does not seem to be prevalent in these three countries?
One of the most obvious differences is parenting philosophy. Many American parents appear to believe they "own" their children, and if they own them, they can control them all the time. Some of these parents believe if they deny teens accurate, honest sexuality information, if they try to obstruct their access to condoms and contraception, then teens will dismiss all thoughts and feelings about sex until they get married.
Do parents "own" their children or do parents only get a lease? Smart parents know that it's just a lease. The lease begins on the day of conception and lasts for 18 years in most cases, and the lease is non-renewable and irrevocable.
Parents do not get a deed to their children. Young people are not property. From the day they are born, parents' control is sporadic and decreases with every passing day. "The parenting contract" obligates parents to provide food, shelter, and emotional and psychological support. The "lease" stipulates that parents protect children, nurture them and keep them healthy. The "contract" spells out parents' responsibility to make sure their children are educated and prepared for adulthood, self-sufficiency, and mature intimate relationships.
Would it not be wonderful, if there really was a legally binding contract like this, or at very least, an assessment of a person's ability and resources to provide all those services? Unfortunately, this "lease" is not in writing nor is it even discussed before parents assume parenthood and unfortunately, in some cases, children get little of what constitutes good parenting.
The parenting lease must also be adjusted to meet the needs of children as they mature and are capable of making more of their own decisions. This letting go process is perhaps hardest at adolescence when the following 3 developmental tasks are explored and resolved to produce teens who become responsible, loving, trusting and productive adults.
Identity:Who am I? What do I believe? What's important to me? What kind of person am I? How important are peers, family, and other influences on my choices. What are my skills, talents, and dreams. Are my values different than my family and/or friends?
Intimacy: Who do I care about? What is a relationship with a partner all about? What is love and closeness? How can I trust someone else with who I am and what I feel? What do I need in a relationship? What is physical intimacy all about? What is pleasure?
Independence: Where am I going? How can I separate from my family and stand on my own, make my own decisions, be in charge of my life? What do I want to do in terms of my career or work? What do I do when I make mistakes or don't do what others want me to do? How do I get privacy in my life and personal space? How important is confidentiality to me when I seek help in health care?
When we view these 3 tasks of adolescent development as the highway into adulthood, we can see how difficult it might be to have parents "involved" in an adolescent's sexual and reproductive health life and decisions. As adolescents seek to define who they are, explore intimacy, and become independent, perhaps we need to rethink what "parental involvement" means. Instead of trying to find ways to help parents and teens come for family planning services together, we need to help parents empower and support their youth to do this by themselves unless they request a parents presence or help. Maybe we need to think about all the barriers that are placed in the way of a teen accessing reproductive and sexual health care and ask parents to try and eliminate some of them. Perhaps we need to help parents and caregivers to understand that saying only "don't do it" does not work for most teens and instead help parents find ways to express that sexual intimacy is a choice but also has responsibilities. Instead of trying to find ways to stop teens from having sex, we might focus on how we can convey that respect, honesty, and safety are necessary components of a sexual relationship.< ?p?>
How willing are we as parents to focus our communication on what is healthy, positive and good about relationships and focus on pleasure, both physical and emotional that comes with relationships instead of just the horrors of sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancy?< ?p?>
American parents today, especially those who are more traditional and conservative in their values, seem to believe that their "lease" entitles them to ultimate control. They believe that just because they have a "lease," children have no rights. These parents are maybe forgetting what growing up is really all about- making choices, sometimes making mistakes and facing the consequences. These parents seem to see concepts like respecting teens' growing independence and need for privacy as perverted and taking away control from parents. Other parents bury their heads in the sand, deny that their youth are sexual beings, and believe, if they just tell them they can't have sex until they're married, their teens will obey.
Smart parents understand that adolescence is a time of exploring all kinds of relationships and sometimes relying on adults other than parents for guidance. Smart parents recognize that young people can make responsible, healthy decisions about their sexual health.
When children are young, of course parents hold their hand when coming to a busy street. But somewhere, sometime-children have to cross that street without a parent. A parent's job is to prepare them for that day, because if parents don't, the consequences can be tragic. Pa
rents tell children how to cross the street safely. Parents demonstrate how to cross the street safely, and then they have to trust that children can do it by themselves.
Adolescence is the only road into adulthood and there are many crossroads and sometimes hazards. Parents meet the "lease" conditions when they respect their children, teach them responsibility through setting reasonable limits and being consistent, are honest and open, and give them the skills they need to make healthy, responsible choices. If parents "practice what they preach" and serve as role models for the behaviour they expect of their children, they fulfil their "contract." If parents accept that values are "caught" not taught and that young people live in a very complex, confusing world- where sex is used to sell every product imaginable from sunscreen to soup, and where sexual violence is depicted as "cool" and proof of manhood, then parents will know that they must spend a lot of time helping their teens understand respect, caring, and commitment as integral to sexual expression.
When parents recognize that most marriages are not virginal and stop setting marriage as the only standard for intimate relationships, young people may understand that the decision to be sexually intimate is a profound part of adult relationships and has no place in childhood. When parents convey the importance of respect, honesty, and love in relationships, then perhaps American teens will wait for that kind of relationship, and will behave responsibly and use protection.
When the lease is up, parents must be able to say, "I gave them the two most important things they needed to finally "own" who they are- roots and wings." Roots to fall back on, to be the refuge of experience, values, and security and wings to soar, to grow and change and perhaps "lease" their own children one day.

Penn State Gets Monster Days from McGloin and Robinson in Win Against Indiana
Offense was on display at Beaver Stadium in Week 12. Penn State amassed 515 yards of total offense, led by quarterback Matt McGloin and wide receiver Allen Robinson. The duo hooked up 10 times for 197 yards and three touchdowns as the Nittany Lions defeated the Indiana Hoosiers 45-22.
McGloin continued his magical season, throwing for 397 yards and four touchdowns against the Hoosiers. The senior signal-caller leads the Big Ten in passing, totaling 3,073 yards and 23 touchdowns with just five interceptions. He is now the single-season passing-yards leader at Penn State and also holds the record for career passing touchdowns.
Against the Hoosiers, McGloin continued to impress in head coach Bill O'Brien's NFL-style offense. His favorite target in the game was Robinson. The Indiana secondary had no answer for the sophomore receiver who set a career high for yards in a game.
The speedy Robinson showed why he is the best receiver in the Big Ten. Not only did he make big plays down the field, but he showed his ability to turn a short pass into something special. In the second quarter, he took a short pass from McGloin and turned it into a 53-yard touchdown reception.
In the game, Robinson set the Penn State single-season receptions record.
While McGloin and Robinson were the ones who stood out against the Hoosiers, Penn State got solid contributions in other areas as well.
The ground game fared well, led by starting running back Zach Zwinak. The sophomore carried the rock 29 times for 133 yards and a touchdown. He also added a 16-yard touchdown reception. Senior Michael Zordich added 47 rushing yards and a touchdown.
The Penn State defense came up with two key interceptions that ended Indiana drives. Linebacker Gerald Hodges tipped a pass to himself and then hauled it in for the turnover. In the fourth quarter, cornerback Adrian Amos came up with a red-zone turnover that halted a scoring chance.
The Nittany Lions will look to finish the 2012 season with a win when the Wisconsin Badgers visit Beaver Stadium on November 24.
Note: Things were not all good for Penn State. Senior linebacker Michael Mauti was carted off the field in the first quarter with a knee injury.

Is this true? None of these 26,000 dogs were a product of incest, suffering from genetic mutations as a result of the "breed standards" set by kennel clubs and dog show judges and generations of inter-breeding?
If this is correct then fair-dos, if not then I believe it should be "healthy, happy looking dogs", since that is all you people care about, how they look?

What about Oprah?
I just finished the full Smoking Gun story on James Frey. Frey sounds to me like a spoiled rich kid, his loving parents in the Oprah audience knowing witnesses to at least some of the son's outrageous falsehoods passed off as fact.
He'll hopefully get his comeuppance. (It should be especially severe considering the damage done by his promotion of the Just say no "Hold on!" approach to recovery and addiction.)
But I wonder how will Oprah respond? Hers is another all too perfect story if you ask me.
UPDATE: Grrr! What did I expect, "Oprah Winfrey, whose recommendation last fall of the memoir, "A Million Little Pieces," by James Frey, made it the best-selling book by any American author last year, said Wednesday that she would continue to recommend it despite Mr. Frey's admission that he made up significant aspects of his story of addiction and recovery."
SHE should be called to account.
Laffy Taffy downloads
Over the last year, so-called snap music has made an unlikely journey from Atlanta phenomenon to hip-hop laughingstock to mainstream juggernaut. It's the name some people have given to a dance-centric form of hip-hop, defined by light but propulsive beats and lyrics that often revolve around playful chants.
Dem Franchize Boyz have a snap-music hit with "I Think They Like Me (Remix)," which reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the rap chart. (It far outpaced the group's previous and better hit, 2004's "White Tee.") But snap music's best-known chant is "Shake that Laffy Taffy, shake that Laffy Taffy." That's the refrain from an utterly infectious song called "Laffy Taffy," by D4L. It has been hanging around the upper reaches of the Billboard chart since before Christmas, and last week it officially became the most popular song in America.
But people aren't buying the album; it's got one of the lowest sales totals in years:
In another category, though, D4L is setting sales records. Last week, the group sold 175,000 digital copies of "Laffy Taffy." That figure doesn't just set a digital-download record, it smashes the old one: the previous record-holder was Kanye West, who sold 80,500 digital copies of his hit "Gold Digger" one week last fall. D4L has now sold more than twice as many digital downloads as CD's. The group's members - Fabo, Shawty Lo, Mook B and Stoney - aren't just chart-toppers; they're music industry pioneers, too.
Intel Macs
A friend asked last week if I thought Jobs would introduce the new MacIntel this week. With undue confidence I said it would be soon, but not that soon (misremembering my own post!)
Too occupied with automated driving no doubt.
But it sounds like I didn't miss much. MacInTouch:
Steve Jobs' Jan. 10, 2006, Macworld Expo keynote marked an important milestone in the history of the Mac platform, but not as big or, frankly, as exciting a moment as I and many others had expected.
What made the day historic, of course, was the introduction of the first Intel-based Macs - a new version of the iMac and a new laptop, the MacBook Pro, both featuring Intel's new Core Duo processor.
Two things made the day a bit of a letdown, at least to judge by crowd reactions, as well as my own. One was the absence of hardware the rumor sites and pundits had led us all to expect: lighter, cheaper, Intel-based iBooks; an Intel-based Mac mini or some other "media Mac" with built-in DVR (digital video recorder) and other living-room-oriented features; and an upgraded version of the iPod Shuffle.
The other factor was that Apple, in designing the new Intel-based hardware it did deliver, clearly chose to put its emphasis on continuity rather than change. While both the new iMac and the MacBook Pro have a few appealing new features, from the user perspective, they're not radical redesigns, and they're no cheaper than their predecessors.
I was in the hardware rumor mill, so duly disappointed. Here's Endgadget's day 1 coverage, here's CNet's w/photos. Here's the Mac + Intel commercial.
UPDATE: It's unanimous, bloggers hate 'MacBook Pro.'
Now this is brilliant synergy:
Whole Foods Market Inc. is going all green on electricity.
The company is buying enough wind power credits to cover energy use at all of its U.S. stores, bakeries, distribution centers, regional offices and its Austin headquarters.
The deal makes Whole Foods the biggest corporate user of wind power in the country.
Goodbye virtual world, hello new world
I'm not sure I agree with the central thesis, yet. I may be convinced:
About the end of cyberspace
I started thinking about the end of cyberspace a couple years ago, when I begin to think about how handheld, mobile, alway-on information devices might rewrite the rules we use to think about the relationship between information, places, and daily life. Cyberspace, it seemed to me, was a "metaphor we live by," reflecting our experiences with information technology, but also shaping the way we think about new technologies and the challenges they present. It had been a vivid and useful metaphor for decades; but would it remain relevant in a world of pervasive computing, mobile technologies, and eventually cybernetic implants, prosthetics, and swarm intelligence?
I don't think so.
I've added it to my reader.

So the Marvel Movie panel was complete madness. They went over pretty much everything we're going to see in the second phase of Marvel's Cinematic Universe. We've heard about Captain America: The Winter Solider, Thor: The Dark World and my favorite upcoming film of the second phase so far, Guardian of the Galaxy. But then Joss Whedon proceeded to announce something that would blow the top off of San Diego Comic-Con, we got our first news regarding the anticipated sequel to the Avengers- Avengers: Age of Ultron, will be in theaters in 2015.
Now if you're a fan of Marvel comics and currently knee-deep in all the Marvel now series', you probably read Age of Ultron. My first thought, like many others who read the book, was: "There's no way that is based of the book already". I liked Age of Ultron but I didn't love it. But the main reason was because the roster of characters from the book was WAY too big. On top of that a lot of the character's would be off limits too Marvel Studios because some of the rights are still over at Fox and Sony.
But I guess it doesn't matter though because they're going in a totally different direction. According to an interview from Io9 Whedon is taking this film in an entirely different direction. He's even removing one of the primary parts of the Ultron lore, Hank Pym, Ultron's creator.
In the interview Whedon said:
"We don't have to have him. It works very simply — this is Marvel cinema, not Marvel comics. One thing [Marvel Studios head] Kevin Feige has a genius for is knowing what to hold onto and what to let go of. You can invoke the feeling you had and play with the characters you love and remain true to the needs of the film," he added "You don't need a Pym to create an Ultron."
Fair enough, I'm not a purist who expects the exact same source material to appear on the screen. What's the fun in that? I don't want to be able to predict everything. But this is a pretty big part of the origin of Ultron. Nevertheless, I'm extremely excited.
Whedon's earned my trust so I'll follow him into the dark on this one. But with the Ant-Man movie following the Avengers sequel only months after, it'll be interesting to see how the character is handled and eventually introduced. Ultron could have been a great stage for Pym to introduce himself.
UPDATE: Joss Whedon speaks on the Avengers sequel.

Don't be silly
our politicians are just DIFFERENT whack jobs. Nut-cases rule!!
I'll get me coat.
Now this looks like a real patent
This is indeed different from all 3D displays I have seen and used.
It is advertised as a media consumption device
this includes magazines. Your logic is somewhat fuzzy.
Indeed, but
will it turn lead into Glod?
Can we have a Discworld icon please?
It could onlyend in tears
Brilliant episode, really gets you into the Xmas spirit
Foot-in-mouth disease!!
"Have you been dreaming of that unique custom wheelchair that would not cost you an arm and a leg?"
Reality is stranger than fiction.
Maybe some add-exec thought it that ANY publicity is good publicity.
I thought Fox News
was a contradiction in terms
Simon is really churning them out!
Great stuff.
I still sense a resurrection even after this ultimate smackdown
"people who live in the clouds"?
So , not just their heads in the clouds?
This is just BEGGING for a stream of silly jokes.
The image shown also suggests something you will NEVER get through customs when manned by the humourless types so often encountered when entering certain countries.
"Why does your computer look like a child's toy, sir? Do you like childrens' toys?"
And from then on the scene gets ugly very quickly.
Pushing the limit of what is possible
is always the primary aim of experimentation. Not monetary gain. The initial step from servers to laptop does seem to pay off quickly, the further electricity savings maybe not.
Having said that, a bookkeepers mentality has rarely been the key driving force in discovery.
can we have
an icon for that?
If care to read the article
the author has a wife, and kids. trundle back to your troll-bridge.
You forget
that a single core Xeon with 512 MB memory was considered a full-blown server not so many years ago. I think a key lesson is that tweaking the apps allows much more efficient memory use. Programmers (embedded systems' guys excepted) have become lazy about memory use, due to its low cost. This is why we need the equivalent specs of a Cray Y-MP to run the latest incarnation of Office (check the recommended system specs).
As Niklaus Wirth said: "Software is getting slower faster than hardware is getting faster"
In the current climate?
"We experienced a number of technical and other problems with the blimp and it was decided, especially in the current climate, that it was neither cost effective nor operationally viable to maintain"
So they are advocates FOR climate change then?
Makes a change, I suppose.
I'm all for a Mediterranean climate here.
An enigma machine cost less than an Apple 1?
The mind boggles. I for one think the former is WAY cooler.
But then maybe the Apple as the better user experience
Maybe eating brains
is the only way some students can acquire some.
Reg Shoe
always despairs of these stereotypes; zombies lurching, deary-me.
But the high slip rate could be due to
iPhone users being very slippery, couldn't they?
This should be researched
Me want more cores!!!
Given how beautifully my Gigapixel scale image processing routines scale on a 4 x 6 core opteron machine, I would love to test this kind of stuff, as we move towards terascale image processing
My first PC had SCSI
and boy was I pleased with that! An 88MB SCSI hard disk (MASSIVE in those days), backing up to an external SCSI ZIP-drive (THAT was so much faster than RS-232 (shudder)), and it could interface neatly with my scanner.
Somehow the name Elon Musk
suggests a Bondesque super villain lurking in an underground bunker.
I wish him luck in his SpaceX venture, we need more people with the combination of vision and deep pockets if we are to travel beyond our 3rd rock from the sun.
Alien icon, obviously
A fully stripped lead ion
Is actually more solid (and denser) than a solid lead bullet (which is mostly vacuum, as discovered by Rutherford)
You will probably get
A cup filled with a liquid which is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
The fact that you are paranoid
does not mean they are not out to get you!!
But the luggage hold and containers
can be made Faraday cages with holes far less than 1mm
Michael Faraday has something to say
How well do radio waves penetrate a Faraday cage made from aluminium? Apart from the plane itself, baggage containers could shield the device quite well, if properly made.
Magnetism is just a case of a Lorentz-transformed Coulomb field. The same principles apply. In fact electromagnetic waves are reflected from a metallic surface precisely because of its conductive properties, because the physical surface is an (approximate) equipotential surface. The longer the wavelength, the more pronounced this effect as a rule (for a 21 cm radio telescope, we need only a mesh with holes of say 20 mm to achieve excellent reflection, whereas for an optical telescope we need a much more precise surface)
What gets me
is the use of words like "incentivize" (AARGH). This kind of committee-speak rarely leads to anything, except a smug feeling amongst committee-members of having finished a report, and THEREFORE having done something about the problem.
Other than that I applaud people even just thinking about the problem of star travel
"The main problem at the Unis though is the lecturers. Much like most Project Managers are failed Developers, so are University lecturers (on the whole). Why would you get paid ~£25k to teach programming when you could easily get twice that doing it?"
Why, because I am passionate about science and do not want to be told what to investigate (besides, a lecturer earns quite a bit more than £25k down here). My brother works in (non-ICT) industry in R&D, and is sometimes exasperated at the fact that management almost always looks at short-term gains, not and long-term benefits of research. I can suddenly decide to see if I can improve someone else's algorithm by an order of magnitude, without EVER having to explain this to anyone. Provided I get interesting results that I can publish in leading journals, nobody complains.
Just recently I decided to branch out into satellite image analysis, and collaborate with some guys in Italy. When you get the wall-clock processing time of a rubble-detector for earthquake relief efforts, for a 1.5TB data set from the Haiti earthquake down from 34,000 years to 1.5 hours (by first going from a naive, O(N^2) algorithm to O(N log N), and then parallellizing it) this is REALLY cool. I could not make such snap decisions in industry.
Many lecturers here have a similar passion for research. In many, this passion spills over in teaching.
Dead right
We (at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands) teach algorithms, and different programming paradigms (imperative (in C), OO (in Java), functional (Haskel), etc). This teaches them how to learn a new language. Thus, if parallel computing can be done more effectively in FORTRAN90 on some machine, or a project is coded in C++, we expect our students to get to grips with those languages in their own time (and they do). We also teach the inner workings of computers, and networks, databases, you name it. Typically, about 95% of students find a good job within one month of graduating. The rest first take a holiday.
We do however include presentation and writing skills, and ethics as integral part of our "hard core" computer science courses, because it IS important that CS grads express themselves well, and have some sense of ethics, as applied to CS.
Not necessarily
That also depends on the time difference between separation and landing of both parts. If the glider went into a spiral flight, as suggested by the footage, it could land quite close anyway.
To test the difference, next time round they should also release a brick from 89,000 ft, shouldn't they? All in the name of science.
No evil scientist icon?
The advantage of using undergrads
is that you do not waste so much education if things go horribly wrong. A page out of the Unseen University manual.
indeed we do not know
"The simplest explanation is that we're alone. Either that, or that the entire Galactic Federation is saying "Shhh, everyone be quiet until these monkeys wipe themselves out.""
The latter is correct. It is all due to the game of cricket! Aliens find this in very poor taste.
Looking at the video
it clearly did not drop, but glided neatly.
Congratulations on a successful launch
even if it did not separate!
The Reg: Taking paper airplanes to unprecedented heights!!!!
I love this whole plastic bag charade!
Imagine terrorist coming to the airport, and to their horror they find out: OH NO!! They have plastic bags! All are plans are down the toilet!
All these people slagging Java
never come up with what they consider a better platform for programming. I do not like Java very much myself (C, C++ are my current tools, though I started in Pascal, and did some work in Fortran (shudder)), but have always considered programming language fights among programmers too tedious.
I would be interested in what these people who hate Java prefer.
He is not looking at an important user base: students and researchers
"So the question is how many of the Mac's core non Apple supplied apps *are* written in Java?"
Answer: Lots of scientific software
Have a look at universities
A lot of my (computer science) students have Macbooks, many courses and much scientific software use Java. All these students will abandon Apple if this goes through. Apple will lose an important user base, because these students mainly go into IT business, and ultimately influence choices on equipment in the future.
Piss them off at your peril.
Same at our uni
Some people have been trying to get me to order a MacBook, and convert to OS-X. No way now. Many courses are taught in Java, many students (a market segment Apple was winning over increasingly) will be seriously upset if Java is no longer supported.
Steve Jobs will probably respond that they should get a life. More likely, they will get Ubuntu.
What annoys me
Is that I have to nag, nag, nag EVERY TIME we get new kit, that I need more powerful graphics than the average user. After all, my work involves research into new algorithms for volume-data (as in MRI and CT scans) processing on state-of-the art GPUs. And NO you cannot do that on an Intel integrated chipset, and NO I do not want to use a Radeon (ever heard of CUDA?).
The best way round was to demand TWO machines (which I am entitled to): one regular desktop (which I do not need), and one experimental, high-end machine. I then suggest that we could make a savings by using the experimental machine for my normal desktop work as well.
mout the phone and just use
It adds to global warming
Can we have a fire extinguisher icon please?
There is a subtle difference
between imagining water ice to be there, and actually finding it

The Treasury Department released a six-page report on the dangers of default Thursday morning that will be given to members of Congress.
"The Potential Macroeconomic Effect of Debt Ceiling Brinkmanship," is part of a campaign to pressure House Republicans to vote to raise the debt ceiling before the Oct. 17 deadline. (A senior Treasury officials says the partial shutdown of the federal government will not change the Oct. 17 timeline.)
"The United States has never defaulted on its obligations, and the U S. dollar and Treasury securities are at the center of the international financial system," according to the report. "A default would be unprecedented and has the potential to be catastrophic: credit markets could freeze, the value of the dollar could plummet, U.S. interest rates could skyrocket, the negative spillovers could reverberate around the world, and there might be a financial crisis and recession that could echo the events of 2008 or worse."
The report says that even the possibility of a default could roil financial markets and damage the economy with sharp declines in household wealth, increases in the cost of financing for businesses and households and a fall in private-sector confidence. It says that if the government shutdown drags on, it could make the U.S. economy even more susceptible to the adverse effects from a debt ceiling impasse than it was prior to the shutdown.

Pablo Zabaleta knows Manchester City are under pressure to perform as Manchester United continue to control the Premier League.
City began 2013 with a routine 3-0 win over Stoke at the Etihad Stadium but they remain seven points off the pace set by their rivals at the top of the table.City lost ground as they were beaten in the Manchester derby just over three weeks ago and then suffered a shock loss at Sunderland on Boxing Day.Zabaleta feels they have responded well to those setbacks but they must keep working hard.The Argentina defender, who opened the scoring against the Potters, said: "The most important thing is always the performance of the team."We played a great game, we had a lot of chances, defensively we were very solid and it's another clean sheet."It's a good three points to carry on and we know that we are under pressure because we need to win every game."We know we are seven points behind United so it's going to be very tough, but keeping positive and keeping working is the key to catching United."It was hard to lose against Sunderland but always you need to try to respond well. We did it and I'm very proud for the team."
