Gobs and gobs of lobbyists' cash are about to go down the drain as the now stalled Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) could be postponed "indefinitely". What's more, Barack Obama's (D) cabinet hinted that the President could veto the two pending House's bills out of concern that the bills Orwellian takedown provisions could damage the legitimate internet economy. This essentially means that SOPA and PIPA in their present forms are shelved till a consensus can emerge on them, which is nowhere in sight, as the juggernaut of public and institutional outrage has rolled over PR of several of the bills' previous proponents and endorsers. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, one of the architects of these two works of literature today posted a statement in response to the Senate decision to what he calls a postponment of the two bills. SOPA and PIPA have been widely criticized by everyone from large corporations such as Google and Microsoft, to the Human Rights Watch. The bills are criticized to be too broad scoped to tackle piracy and IP theft, and could be misused for corporate censorship. Source: DailyTech
Funny that press releases are now saying that Obama would veto it. He originally threatened to veto it because there was not enough power in it; now they say he would veto it because there is too much???? sounds like our one and only Obama for you. OT: I'm glad that these things are stalled. They'll be back for sure, but at least the interwebz can breathe a small sigh of relief for the time being.
i do hope so, well all end up way worse off if nobody stops this capitalist shenanigins i thought it a great advert to the common man about the power and danger lobyists pose, it(lobying) if anything is what should be outlawed, why should big business get the opportunities the common man has no chance of.
We won the battle, not the war. If Congress manages to pass PIPA or SOPA, Obama will likely veto and there isn't enough votes to override that veto. Even so, more bills are bound to be proposed. The MPAA has billions of dollars to spend on lobbying and there's plenty of politicians on Capital Hill all too willing to take their money. The only permanent solution is to get everyone that attacks the 1st amendment out of office.
They will just change the name and tact it on to a bill everyone loves. It will get passed. Thats how they got the 1022 passed in the NDAA. Said families of soldiers would starve without new funding then they added the 1022 on the back end. The name "SOPA" may be dead but ITS SOUL STILL BURNS!
Oh yeah. Don't forget he said he wouldn't renew the tax breaks AND would repeal the Patriot Act. Not only did he renew the tax breaks but he ENHANCED the Patriot Act AND signed the NDAA.
The only way to keep this down is to keep fighting it, because these rich and powerful lobbyists will never stop.
You can kick and scream all you want. Its gonna pass eventually. They will attach it to some social program or something so if you bitch about it you look like a bad person. Again NDAA is a prime example. Do you wanna be the guy who says military families don't get their checks this month while mommy or daddy are off to war? No you sign it like a BOSS. This is politics. You not being in Washington have NO SAY. The fact Anonymous attacked the DOJ gave them an EPIC excuse to take away more liberties. Cannot wait to see what they do about that.
I'm afraid this is very true. Anonymous isn't helping preserve an open internet. They're giving the powers that be more reason to tighten the noose.
just like he would have vetod NDAA *sarcasm*. Now that it has been stalled its too late to change your mind or speak out against it. it means crap when you suppported it till the outrage that made passing it impossible.
when you act like a child you cannot be mad when a pedophile comes after you? ok - i agree. but my point still stands imo - and that is that there are always reasons to limit freedom and curtail liberty. if it wasn't anonymous it'd catchy hacker group #534 - but just because an excuse exists doesn't justify the action. what WOULD make us an honorable people would be to solve these problems WITHOUT taking such tyrannical measures.
We live in a Republic that responds to the democratic process. Democratic process demands we do not elect the people that support censorship of any kind. It's like smoking pot to protest pot being illegal--you're giving them a reason to tighten the laws. You have to play their game (politics) and win. It's easier than you think--just look at what was already accomplished. Again, the true test is going to be what TheMailMain pointed out: tying SOPA/PIPA to some other bill. If the politicians aren't 100% against it, they'll pass it attached to something else.
i don't disagree at all - my point was simply to say that giving their excuse doesn't actually excuse anything. it's just as evil whether anonymous hacked the doj or not. and agreed again on it being stapled to something else.
To much money has paid for SOPA. If those people want election money they WILL PASS it somehow. Maybe not under the SOPA name but it will be passed. Again big companies are mad at the amount of theft online. They used their vast money to lobby law makers to stop it somehow. SOPA was the first of MANY laws you will see. Who's to blame? The people who gave big companies a reason to mobilize. The free for all couldn't last forever. When you take advantage of something that doesn't belong to you it gets taken away. Sorry kids but you brought this on yourself. No free masons or illuminati made you download the latest Justin Bieber album. You did that all by yourselves. Now we all suffer.
pirates are wrong, we get that mailman, thank you. but how are the people that are actually TRYING to erase our freedoms at least not partly to blame? as i said before, whatever reason they have isn't good enough - what they are doing is still wrong and so i see them as holding a fair amount of blame as well. how you fight shows a lot about your character. if we as a country simply lock down freedoms in exchange for money, that to me says a lot more about the people behind the action than it says about the measly pirates they used as an excuse.
In communism they give you poison. In a democracy you choose your poison. We the people have picked these people generation after generation. We deserve what we get.

NASA's Curiosity rover is back at work in Yellowknife Bay, a rocky area inside Mars' Gale Crater — and if it takes good care of itself, it just might still be at work when humans hit the Red Planet.
At least that's the sentiment voiced by Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, during this week's Humans to Mars Summit in Washington. "I anticipate the first astronaut we send can go and shake Curiosity's hand," he told Monday's audience at George Washington University. If that astronaut is able to come within hand-shaking distance, the gesture would serve as a thank-you for years of service by the nuclear-powered robot, Meyer said.
Last week, Curiosity resumed contact with controllers back at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory after a weeks-long gap that was scheduled due to solar interference — and JPL has just finished upgrading the rover's software.
Images sent back on May 2 show the rover's robotic arm and its instrument-laden turret poised over Yellowknife Bay's bedrock. Scientist-writer Ken Kremer and his Italian colleague, Marco Di Lorenzo, assembled 13 images ("a Martian baker's dozen") into the sepia-toned panorama you see above.
"She's back and flexing!" Kremer wrote in an email.
Within a week or so, the rover will be drilling into Martian bedrock to flesh out its scientific findings about the habitability of ancient Mars. Then it'll start heading toward Mount Sharp (a.k.a. Aeolis Mons), a 3-mile-high (5-kilometer-high) mountain in Gale Crater. Scientists are hoping that the layers of rock on that mountainside have recorded billions of years' worth of geological changes.
Because Curiosity is powered by a plutonium-fueled radioisotope thermoelectric generator, the rover could keep going for decades — assuming that there aren't any mechanical breakdowns, of course. That's what fuels Meyer's hope that there'll be a human-machine handshake someday.
More than 70 percent of Americans are confident that humans will go to Mars by 2033, according to a survey conducted in February by Phillips & Company for the Boeing Co. and Explore Mars, the nonprofit group sponsoring this week's summit. But one of the summit's headliners, NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden, said that sending astronauts to Mars can't be done without technological innovation and financial support.
"I don't know about you, but I'm not ready," The Washington Post quoted Bolden as saying. "I don't have the capability to do it. NASA doesn't have the capability to do that right now. But we're on a path to be able to do it in the 2030s."
Will humans ever shake Curiosity's hand? When? Register your opinion in our unscientific survey above, and voice your views in the comment section below.

The restaurants in the hotel are generally too expensive and do not offer food or service of very high standard. A few simple improvements here will to the trick.

I can confirm others view that this is clean, spacious room, comfortable bed, great shower. However the set lunch, menu del dia, for 12 euro was amazing. Gazpacho, grilled turbot (OK just a small one but beautifully cooked and plenty for one), dessert and a carafe of wine. By the way this is a great resort but the beach does... More

The Ogden Police Department opened the RTCC two and a half years ago. It's designed to take camera feeds from anywhere in the world to increase communications during a disaster situation.
The Weber School District is paying $550,000 to install 1,000 live camera signals to the room.
"That's a lot of cameras to keep an eye on all the time, but one of the things we can do is cross reference a lot of stuff that's being displayed to us. We can provide information back out to our offices," said Detective Nicholas Poorte of the Ogden Police Department.
The room becomes command central for communications should a Sandy Hook or Columbine-like tragedy unfold in a Weber School District.
"The primary purpose is to give us access in the event of some major catastrophe," Deputy Director Ogden Police Department, John Harvey.
Ogden detectives will have access to all the camera feeds. They'll also have information about the location of gas mains, water lines and power lines.
The information would allow police to control the inside of the building from the outside. The RTCC could also pull up vital information like where to evacuate students in the middle of a disaster situation.
"Even an officer on the ground in that location could pull that particular camera up via mobile device or iPad from the car," said Harvey.

Posted 5:51 PM 12/2/2012 : Mexican shoppers boosting economy
TUCSON-Christmas shopping is in full swing.
Some people have come from out of the country just to take advantage of some of the Christmas sales.
Twenty-four million visitors come to Arizona from Mexico annually, and they spend 976 million dollars just in Pima County.
License plates from Sonora are a common sight at the shopping center parking lots across Tucson.
Their drivers spend long days shopping.
Roberto Valdez-Salazar drove ten hours from Navojoa, Sonora just to shop here in Tucson.
He just paid $20.18 for something he said would cost double in Sonora.
"There are always a lot of sales, the clothes are better quality, I always find my size and my money goes farther here," said Salazar.
He comes with friends and family at least five times a year.
This time around, they're Christmas shopping, buying gifts and of course, a few things for themselves.
"For the different get-togethers that we have in December, but while shopping we have to be very patient since we have to wait in long lines to pay," said Salazar.
A study by the University of Arizona said shopping is the primary reason Mexican visitors come to Arizona.
Many of them stay overnight, go out to restaurants, visit Tucson attractions and pour money into our economy.
"Right now I just spent 500 dollars," said Jorge Francisco Encinas from Hermosillo.
Fernanda Valenzuela said she saves up throughout the year and then spends her savings in Tucson four times a year.
"I come every season to switch up my closet and get rid of the old," she said.
Yessica Herrera-Quijada does the same.
"We love to shop for everything that's in style and new," said Quijada.
According to the 2008 study, each day Mexican visitors spend over 7 million dollars in Arizona contributing to over 23 thousand jobs.

How does this even happen? A man who feel asleep on a flight from Louisiana on Friday woke up to find himself trapped inside a cold, dark plane.
Tom Wagner says that the United Express crew apparently failed to do a seat check before leaving and locking up.
"I called my girlfriend, and she thought I was crazy. I said, 'Debbie I'm locked on the plane,'" Wagner recalls. "I said, 'I'm telling you the truth. You better go somewhere and get me off this plane."
Half an hour later, workers boarded the aircraft and rescued Wagner.

The one thing that is interesting to me though is that mcdonalds thing. If a person was to steal food without paying. They would be citated, maybe arrested. However if mcdonalds takes your money and doesn't give you what you paid, you have no criminal grounds only civil. Unless. it coulb be proven they were doing it to a lot of people all the time (which the police) probably wouldn't even investigate.
This is a huge problem because not only do companies dicate government policy over people, but legal as well. So they enjoy more rights than us. So next time you pass a business bow..
Contacted Mac P.D. Right away using Ycom's #. They insisted no officer would come out, and that I would need to go down and file a police report.
Just because you call the police. don't mean you'll get any help.
my house was broken into, i thought the intruder was still in the house - it took about 25 minutes for help to arrive.....but since i was already out of the house i didn't continue to call 911 repeatedly.

New York City has such an abundance of great museums and blockbuster exhibitions that it's easy to overlook some of the smaller players. And by smaller, I mean mostly in size, not in quality: The artworks hanging at the Frick Collection or the Morgan Library are the equal of anything at the Met.
Inge Reist, director of the Center for the History of Collecting, goes through some of the Frick's records. Bryan Thomas for The Wall Street Journal
In some ways, the viewing experience is actually superior with a smaller collection. For starters, the art is sometimes housed in what used to be the absurdly rich collector's mansion, which still retains many of the trappings of his or her wealth, occasionally peculiar taste and social-climbing prowess. And the café or restaurant usually isn't bad, either.
Also, the crowds tend to be smaller. Unlike at the Metropolitan Museum or MoMA, where on an average busy day it becomes easy to hate the rest of the human race as you jockey with fellow art lovers for post position in front of a popular Vermeer or Picasso, at the Frick or Morgan you can often have a world-class El Greco or Ingres all to yourself.
Finally, there's the snob appeal. So what if you've visited the Met in New York, the National Gallery in London or the Louvre in Paris? Busloads of people, many of whom don't know a da Vinci from a Diego Rivera, do that every day. But if someone asks your favorite thing about Paris and you answer "the Musée Jacquemart-André," they'll credit you with sophisticated taste and a superior intellect. so what if you spend most of your life in front of the TV watching "Seinfeld" reruns?
I've managed to locate an institution even more rarefied than the Frick. Actually, it's part of the Frick: Started in 2007, it's called the Center for the History of Collecting. Admittedly, there isn't much to see—most of its magic is in the form of auction catalogues and photographic reproductions—but I appreciate the concept of an institute wholly devoted to one of mankind's more effete pursuits.
I realize not everyone might consider collecting as such. For some collectors, it's about the bragging rights, the eye-candy value. But that's actually what I wanted to discuss with Inge Reist, the Center's director, when we met recently in her well-lighted office overlooking Central Park.
I invited her to lower the boom on some of today's collectors—the ones whose decorators (I mean curators) instruct them on what to purchase, and who may feel no more passion about their Twomblys and Hockneys than they do their private-jet shares or $6,000 shower curtains. Unfortunately for me, her expertise involves earlier eras, though she did say comparisons can be made.
"I don't think there's any difference," she stated. "New money tends to buy new art. After a while, as they become more comfortable—both with their money and collecting—they start looking at older works."
She pointed to Henry Frick, who made his fortune in steel, as an excellent example. "He collected contemporary art at first. Also, local Pittsburgh artists. He was 50 when he started collecting the Old Masters that are his legacy. Knoedler opened an outpost in Pittsburgh because there was all the new steel money there."
The Center for the History of Collecting sponsors symposia that are probably a lot more interesting than they sound. They're organizing one at the moment involving banks as collectors. "From the Medicis to the Rockefellers," Ms. Reist explained festively. "It's got a really great cast. It will include the Lehmans, Morgans, Rothschilds."
I wondered whether banks collect differently than individuals; I would assume they do so more conservatively. "That's what we're going to find out," she said.
The Center has also produced at least one splendid tome on collecting. Just released, "Collecting Spanish Art: Spain's Golden Age and America's Gilded Age" is essentially a series of generously illustrated essays. Priced around $90 and available at the Frick gift shop, it should be in the running for the mother of all coffee table books.
It's guaranteed to impress upon any visitors to your home your rarefied taste, even if you've never cracked the beautiful cover. (That cover features an imposing Mr. Frick in the museum's West Gallery in front of his prized "King Philip IV of Spain" by Velazquez, a fine-looking cigar in the steel baron's hand.)
But the Center's most important function is as a repository for images and records about collectors, dealers and specific works of art, going back hundreds of years. Some of the art no longer even exists—having succumbed to such vicissitudes as fire, wars and theft. The Frick boasts 1.25 million photographic reproductions representing 40,000 artists, as well as 90,000 auction catalogues dating back to the 17th century.

More quote details and news » and Christie's were founded," Ms. Reist noted. "A lot are annotated with the prices and buyers' names. This is where they come—Sotheby's and Christie's—to research provenance."
The Center has also started an oral history project in which collectors are interviewed about—I'm assuming a bit here—themselves, their collecting passions and their successful or failed pursuits of prized objects. Ms. Reist mentioned the California collectors Eli and Edythe Broad, but said she couldn't divulge other names.
"They are restricting access during their lifetimes," she explained. "We're OK with that."
They could interview me. I'm what you'd call a focused collector. At least I was until kids and tuitions kicked in. My collection is distinguished by humor, which makes it easier to find bargains because serious collectors have never placed a premium on funny paintings.
The centerpiece of my collection is a 1960s work entitled "Big Bertha" by a pop artist named Ben Johnson, whom I hadn't heard of before, or for that matter since. Featuring a female nude with stupendously large breasts, two-toned nipples and her head buried in a black cloud (all of it against a fire engine red background), it "bought in" at Sotheby's. In other words, nobody wanted it but me, so I got it cheap. My wife allowed me to keep it hung over the mantelpiece after I convinced her it was a Color Field painting.
I also have a small Tiepolo drawing—also bought for a song at Sotheby's and also probably because of its subject matter. Obliquely titled "Caricature of a Nobleman, from behind," it's actually a sketch by the 18th-century master Giambattista Tiepolo of a Venetian gentleman relieving himself. It's part of a series—other examples of which reside at the Lehman Collection and in European museums.
Whenever I'm depressed, I can look at it and feel encouraged by the fact that I own a Tiepolo, even if I was the only bidder. "Provenance is the alternate history of art," Ms. Reist explained. "It's such a terrific interdisciplinary approach to learning about art. It's about cultural history more than art history."
I've never thought of my collection as major, but I'm willing to sit for an oral history anytime the Frick wants.

EDMONTON - A child was taken to hospital Thursday afternoon after being bitten by a family dog at a south Edmonton home.
The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. at a home near 78th Street and 14th Avenue SW, in the Summerside neighbourhood, said Edmonton Fire Rescue spokesman Michael Tucker.
"It was a report of a dog bite and it was on the upper body," Tucker said. The child suffered injuries that are not life threatening, he said.
City police and paramedics also responded to the two-storey home.
A City of Edmonton animal control officer led what appeared to be an American bulldog away from the home. A child's pink and white tricycle sat on the home's front porch.
Resident Jairo Toledo said he often sees his neighbours walking the dog around the area, which is home to many families.
"I've never noticed it being aggressive," he said. "I've noticed other neighbours out here with their dogs and I've never noticed any aggression. It's a shock."
It's not clear what will happen to the dog taken from the home. City of Edmonton animal control could not be reached for comment.

Tribute to Karma
30 December 2005
Karma was a beautiful Common Brush-tail Possum and was famous among the Mammal and Roving Departments for her beautiful nature. Karma was probably the most affectionate, trusting and gentle animal in the Zoo - she never failed to have enough kisses for everyone.Karma came to the Zoo through the Koala Hospital. Her mother was hit and killed by a car when Karma was very small. Karma survived, though she lost most of her eyesight and half of her tail. She came to live with us at the Zoo as she was unable to be released, but as she grew up she found a special role in helping to educate visitors about conservation. With her most gentle and loving nature she was also wonderful with small children.
As keepers caring for Karma, we had to quickly get the hang of sweeping and hosing out her enclosure with Karma sitting on one shoulder, as she often refused to sit anywhere else. And everyone knew a sure-fire cure for a bad day was to duck in for a quick cuddle and a showering of possum kisses from gorgeous Karma.
It has been a sad week as we learned that Karma passed away; she will be sorely missed, but her gentle nature, huge personality and gorgeous big ears will be remembered fondly by all of us, as we can feel happy that Karma was given a second chance to have a great life here at the Zoo with so many people that loved her.

As a parent, you want to protect your child from everything, which is virtually impossible, of course. But can you prevent your child from getting diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body uses glucose , the main type of sugar in the blood. Glucose, which comes from the foods we eat, is the major source of energy needed to fuel the body's functions. To use glucose, the body needs the hormone insulin . But if someone has diabetes, the body either can't make insulin or the insulin doesn't work in the body like it should.
There are two major types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes can't be prevented. Doctors can't even tell who will get it and who won't.
No one knows for sure what causes type 1 diabetes, but scientists think it has something to do with genes. But just getting the genes for diabetes isn't usually enough. In most cases, a child has to be exposed to something else - like a virus - for him or her to get type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes isn't contagious, so kids and teens can't catch it from another person or pass it along to friends or family members. And eating too much sugar doesn't cause type 1 diabetes, either.
Although type 1 diabetes can't be prevented, some research suggests that breastfeeding , avoiding early introduction of solid foods, and other factors may play a role in lowering the risk of developing the disease. Though there's no reliable way to predict who will get type 1 diabetes, blood tests can detect early signs of it. These blood tests aren't done routinely, however, because doctors don't have any way to stop a child from developing the disease, even if the tests are positive.
Unlike type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes can sometimes be prevented. Excessive weight gain, obesity , and a sedentary lifestyle are all factors that put a person at risk for type 2 diabetes.
In the past, type 2 diabetes almost exclusively affected adults, typically those who were overweight. Doctors even referred to type 2 diabetes as adult-onset diabetes. But in recent years, more children and teens have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes - an increase that experts say is related to the rapidly growing number of overweight children and teens.
Although kids and teens may be able to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by managing their weight and physical activity, other risk factors for type 2 diabetes can't be changed. Children who have one or more family members with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing the disease. Also, certain ethnic and racial groups tend to be more prone to developing type 2 diabetes, including people of Native American, African American, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian/Pacific Island descent.
Here are a few simple strategies to reduce your child's risk for developing type 2 diabetes and other associated health problems:
If you think your child may be overweight and, therefore, at increased risk of type 2 diabetes, talk to your child's doctor or a registered dietitian. These health care professionals can help you determine what your child's weight goals should be and how to reach them. It's important for growing kids to get enough calories and nutrients for normal growth and development, while preventing the excessive weight gain that can set the stage for type 2 diabetes and other health problems.

Daniel Perlin - The great artist and sound designerCultureM meets Daniel Perlin, an artist and sound designer from CultureM on Vimeo. Do you hear the leaves rustle? Do you hear the rain falling on the roof? Have you ever thought of what the sound means? When I first met him for interview, Daniel Perlin asked me about the sound of Seoul in Korea. Perlin, a New York-based artist and sound designer, is a virtuoso who defines the meaning of sound and makes us think again about what we're missing in our everyday life. As an artist, Perlin wears several hats. He works across various media creating sound, video, objects, installations and performances. His work has been shown at P.S.1, the New Museum, the Storefront for Art and Architecture, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the Chelsea Art Museum, Guggenheim Film and many other places. Recently, he has collaborated with Natalie Jermijenko on the installation "For the Birds" for the 2006 Whitney Biennial; Sanford Kwinter on the installation of Mutations; with Vito Acconci and Sarina Basta on the public sound installation Viraphone (Madrid); and Maya Lin for the Installation "What Is Missing?" at the Beijing Center for the Arts. As a DJ and a musician, he has performed with artists such as DJ/rupture, m.sayyid and others. Lately, he worked as the DJ for the opening events of the Gwangju Biennale held in Korea on Sept. 2. Working with sound is his favorite task because sound is all around us, all the time, but we so often choose to ignore it. As an artist, he likes to encourage people to reconsider, so that they can question the world around them. Sound is a great way to reach many audiences and help them to ask: "What was that, and why am I feeling this way?" This is why he chose to work with sound. He began as a sound designer for film and television, making soundtracks. He continues to work on some feature films, though fewer, as his studio is more focused on spatial design and art. He feels that sound and new media offer flexibility to work in many genres, and if the project has the kind of attitude and idea that interests him, then he is happy to collaborate. He thinks collaboration and collective practice is one way to make strong work, and it often takes him in directions he never thought he would go. "I get my inspiration from the world around me, from everything I see and hear and feel. What I think about when I work is how to get my idea across, for whom, and why. I always ask myself that, so who probably inspires me the most are people who have little and improvise to make what they need. "Actually, what I would say here is that first and foremost pay attention to the people in your local scene. To design sound with an eye and ear to local conditions means that you are speaking clearly for an audience who you respect and know. So I would rather you tell me who you like in Seoul!" he said during the interview. Perlin said that his role models are people who love what they do and want to make the world better than it is and are interested in empowering individuals, disabling corporate hegemonies and giving those without a public voice a chance to speak and be heard. His role models listen first, and then speak. "Well, I was trained as a musician, but then I started hanging out with film geeks and painters and computer scientists and philosophers and other people at my university, and it became pretty clear that the world was very big and there were real issues that needed to be solved. I guess I moved towards design so I could work on addressing these issues in a more material way, by working with objects and spaces, including the cinema. But at the time, it was because I wanted to make cool shit that made people second guess their own positions, and sound design was a playful and fast way to do that," he said. These days, he is making a second iteration into a listening laboratory first built at the Center for Hearing and Communication in New York. This will be installed in an anechoic chamber at the veterans' hospital in Portland Oregon. He is also showing artwork in Santa Barbara, California in November, and DJing in Tel Aviv, Israel for Domus Magazine. In an article by the New-York Times, published May 17, 2009, he created scenarios and gave his idea for the "Center for Hearing and Communication" in Lower Manhattan, New York. He created eight audiovisual scenarios inspired by everyday life in New York City. Instead of using beeps, tones and word lists — the more typical way to determine how well a new hearing aid works — the test conducted at the center uses sounds that might be heard in New York: cell phone chats, office discussions and the rumble of Midtown traffic. Perlin is an artist, sound designer and DJ – a real Renaissance man. Visit www.danielperlin.net for more information. |

| Posted by Cathy P. | (Fayetteville, NC)Just brought a new 2013 Tahoe and decided that I wanted mud flaps on the vehicle. So I sat down with CARiD and ordered them. So easy to do, they carry you through every step. Received the product on Saturday and decided to install them. What a piece of cake. No drilling as promised. Such an easy product. Took me maybe 20 minutes, but not because of the product, because I had a knee replacement. So, I was a little slow getting up and down. On Monday, couple of the guys checked out my handy work. Thanks to CARiD and WeatherTech, they make my vehicle look great and my work look great. One guy kept saying: did you do this all by yourself? You can not go wrong with CARiD and WeatherTech. They have never let me down. Service is great.

My hubs and I just celebrated our ♥ wedding anniversary ♥. I made this raspberry chocolate cake for us to indulge in, along with a bottle of wine from our wedding. The cake (which has since been completely polished off) had a delicate crumb and fragrant ribbon of fresh raspberries and preserves in the middle of each slice. The "anniversary" glaze, a simple mix of red wine, confectioner's sugar & coconut oil, made the cake extra special.
It turned out to be a really good cake.
Alright, it was better than good. It was amazing.
Flavorful. Excellent. Almost gourmet-ish.
My husband and I were devouring the leftovers of the glaze straight from the bowl. Even as I am writing this post, we keep talking about how stupid good that cake was. Maybe we are biased because it was our anniversary cake… but I have my doubts. :)
If anything, try using the just the glaze on something else: a cookie or scone, strawberries, a piece of toast, a spoon, anything! I recommend a shiraz or tempranillo blend (because I love them), but wine of any sort would be pretty good… even the super cheap stuff. The result of combining confectioner' s sugar with wine creates a sweet (but tart) and classy coating that compliments the chocolate and raspberries with the utmost generosity.
I only managed to jot down my measurements for the cake. So, use your best judgment when making the filling and the glaze. The filling should be the consistency of a thick jam, and the glaze should be the consistency (before hardening) of Elmer's glue. Yes, I'm serious.

I had some difficulties in remembering all the references to the Open Order formation spread all through the rules, so I resumed them and I think it would be useful to other people to have them.
Here they are:
The following troop types are considered for OO formation:
- Skirmishers, Horse Archers and Tiny units (all restricted to OO formation)
- Light Infantry/Cavalry/Chariots (can adopt OO formation as option)
Other troops can adopt OO only to move in woods (?), rough ground, crossing rivers and obstacles.
DISORDERED OO can use initiative to move away
DISTANCE MODIFIERS (for orders)
- no modifier for Skirmishers, Horse Archers, Light Cavalry in OO
- OO can be ignored by other formations.
- OO are affected by proximity rule within 6" (not 12")
MOVING THROUGH (without penalty)
- skirmishers or infantry in OO can move/be moved through
- if both are Light Cavalry/Chariots or Horse Archers in OO
- OO can change from or to open order and move as a single move
- OO have no restriction on rough ground and linear obstacles
- OO have no restriction through woods but cavalry speed = 6" per move
CHOICE OF TARGETS (ranged attacks)
- OO can be ignored (not clear targets)
- OO can direct their attacks in any direction (and divide targets)
OO can charge:
- infantry and cavalry in open order
- artillery, chariots, elephants and baggage
- enemy in buildings
- OO close ranks to fight in an engagement, then automatically disperse in OO
- only OO can attempt to evade
- OO cannot be supported (but can support)
If you find something wrong or missing please correct or add. Thank you.

Abstract: 40-year-old male presented to the emergency department with right-sided lower abdominal pain radiating to the right groin and scrotum. Physical exam was unremarkable with no focal tenderness or palpable masses. The patient had no significant past medical or surgical history. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis was performed to rule out appendicitis. (Figures 1-3).
Retroperitoneal seminoma
Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis with coronal and sagittal reconstructions (Figures 1, 2 and 3) revealed a 7-cm homogeneous, well-circumscribed, soft-tissue mass just caudal to the third portion of the duodenum to the right of the midline with marked compression of the inferior vena cava. No lymphadenopathy was identified. A diagnosis of pure seminoma, likely metastatic, was made by on image-guided biopsy. A testicular ultrasound was performed after to diagnosis and showed only a small right hydrocele with no focal masses or calcifications. The mass was surgically resected, and the patient declined an orchiectomy. After 3 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy, the patient's tumor markers have normalized.
Between 2% and 5% of malignant germ-cell tumors in men arise at extragonadal sites. Whether these tumors develop primarily at extragonadal sites or represent metastases of a primary testicular tumor remains uncertain. Most extragonadal germ-cell tumors (EGCTs) are likely metastases of a viable or burned-out testicular tumor.1 They typically arise at or near the midline presenting as brain, mediastinal, retroperitoneal, spinal, or sacrococcygeal masses.2 Seminomas account for 30% to 40% of EGCTs, and the retroperitoneum is the second most common site after the mediastinum.3
Extragonadal seminomas usually appear as large, lobulated, well-marginated, and homogeneous masses on CT and magnetic resonance (MR). Although invasion of adjacent organs is rare, metastases to regional lymph nodes and bone can be seen. Calcifications are uncommon, and it is very rare for these tumors to have a cystic component.4
Patients with retroperitoneal germ cell tumors usually present after their tumors have reached large dimensions.
Symptoms are nonspecific and may include a palpable abdominal mass with or without pain, backache, and weight loss.3 Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin hormone is elevated in 5% to 10% of patients. Scrotal ultrasound and urologic exam is important since burned-out testicular tumors have been detected in 76% of cases of EGCT.1
Survival of patients with extragonadal seminoma is generally good with 5-year survival rates of 90% following treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy.5
The differential diagnosis of a homogeneous, soft-tissue mass in the retroperitoneum includes lympho ma, metastasis, soft-tissue sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and neurogenic tumor. Diagnosis is based on biopsy with adequate tissue for microscopic examination, flow cytometry, immunostaining, and other molecular studies.
Extragonadal germ cell tumor in the retroperitoneum is rare. Although imaging of this tumor is somewhat nonspecific, this rare entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a male patient presenting with a single, homogeneous, soft-tissue mass occurring at or near the midline, especially if in the mediastinum or retroperitoneum.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho – In the wake of massive devastation left behind after tornados ripped through Oklahoma, a group of dedicated people in Coeur D'Alene are hitting the road in the aptly named 'Tornado Truck.'
They collected supplies and donations all Memorial Day weekend long, ranging from food and clothes to wheelchairs and flashlights. Tuesday morning, two drivers will hit the road for not just Moore, Oklahoma – but the smaller surrounding communities like Shawnee, Newcastle and Bridgeport.
"Our family was lucky enough not to be hit, but a lot of family friends were," said 'Tornado Truck' organizer Laurita Mikalatos. "There are some homes there's not even rubble to go through, so they really just have the clothes they wore to work that day."
Now, boxes full of clothes, household goods, baby toys, water and shovels are heading to them.
"You pull the wrong thing out, and you're going to have a lot coming down," laughed Tom Bandy, who helped to fill the truck.
Also on board is a box of 30 pairs of children's shoes donated by a woman and her 5-year-old son. Inside each pair, he left a hand-written note saying, "Here I got you some nice shoes. For your feet so your feet will not suffer. And also stay safe and strong."
"I still tear up, it was just amazing," said fellow organizer Faye Maestas.
A truck filled with so much heart and hope.
If you'd like to donate, the 'Tornado Truck' is loading up at 4th & Wallace in Coeur D'Alene until sundown tonight.
