See excerpts below
Several recent books, using anthropology, psychology and evolution, have argued that our ethical or moral life evolved from nature. Now a distinguished neuroscientist takes that proposition a critical step farther, right to the basics: brain signals.
Donald Pfaff, Ph.D., head of the Laboratory of Neurobiology and Behavior at Rockefeller University, gives us the first book to describe how ethics may be a hardwired function of the human brain.
Pfaff explains how specific brain circuits cause us to consider an action toward another as if it were going to happen to us, prompting us to treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Into this picture, he brings various brain hormones that produce or induce forms of moral behavior such as individual heroism, parental love, close friendship, and violence and aggression.
Pfaff solves the mystery of our universal ethical precepts, presenting a rock-solid hypothesis of why humans across time and geography have such similar notions of good and bad, right and wrong

On the "Golden Rule"
Associated with every religious system I have read is a norm known as the Golden Rule. In essence, it requires that I do unto you as I would have you do unto me. This rule is so ingrained in our social behavior as to be intellectually invisible. As a result, we have rarely stopped to question where it came from. If pressed, I might have opined that its origins are lost in the mists of time – for example, when the first high priests figured out how to satisfy a sovereign's demand for social stability.
But suppose, for the moment, that the Golden Rule is even older, that it is as old as our own biology. Moreover, while it might have acquired all sorts of socio-political decorations over the course of human history, it nonetheless is actually traceable to neuroscientific phenomena that we can identify. If this were so, we could understand why this rule and its many variations have survived in human ethical systems, philosophies and religions. In this book I want to explore a theory of the neuroscientific basis for the instinct toward fair play. I am not talking about religion, because not all statements of this rule are religious in their appearance. Instead, I will try to explain how a discoverable set of brain mechanisms can account for behaviors that follow this rule.
How can I dare try that? It is because complex behaviors do not always require the most complex explanations. For example, we were able to lay bare the biology underlying a sociosexual behavior at a time when we did not understand the simple act of walking….
Ethical behaviors treated as a natural biological development
… Among the first scientists to take up the call were cognitive neuroscientists such as Michael Gazzaniga, whose recent book, The Ethical Brain, anticipates the union of behavioral science with ethics. … Developmental psychologists, as well, have begun to study how a moral sense --- a capacity for empathy, for example --- arises early in the life of their human subjects. Children as young as three can make distinctively moral judgments, and by the ages of four or five can distinguish moral rules that transcend social setting. Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist whose thinking dominated this subject for years, took the position that a moral sense simply arose naturally during the early years of childhood in any normal social environment. On the other hand, Lawrence Kohlberg, at Harvard, proposed from his observations that moral understanding develops through a series of well defined stages that are universal. ... William Rottschaefer, at Lewis and Clark College, describes a series of behavioral studies of the development of empathy. Despite differences in detail, all these studies support the position that ethical behavior need not be treated as a purely religious or mystical subject, but is a product of natural causes approachable with scientific methods.
Hard-core neuroscientists have come on board. The late Nobel laureate, physiologist Roger Sperry, decried the traditional resistance to a scientific approach to moral values. ... In his view, social values depend on inherent traits in human nature that, during evolution of our species, have had adaptive value. Further, Sperry was ready to substitute an ethic based in science for mystical, other-worldly frames of reference.
Such a step is not necessarily for my present argument. Neural and behavioral science may not revolutionize ethical theory, but will certainly help to explain ethical behavior.
One of the techniques currently proving useful for exploring the neuranatomy of neural changes during ethically-guided behaviors is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Tania Singer and her team at the University College of London looked at brain activity while the subject experienced pain and compared it to brain activity while the subject witnessed a loved one suffering a similar pain stimulus. Several brain regions lighted up under both conditions. These probably represent cell groups whose activities are closely asssociated with a feeling of empathy. But other brain regions became active only during the time the subject himself was receiving painful stimuli. Therefore, Singer concluded that only part of the pain signaling pathways could be mediating empathy.
Other fMRI studies, by Joshua Greene and Jon Cohen at Princeton, challenge the longstanding emphasis on reasoning, instead of emotions, in moral judgments. In a pair of notable experiments, Greene and Cohen presented stories to their subjects. The stories posed moral dilemmas – a choice of actions that would kill only one person, for example, versus no action, which would allow five people to be killed. What brain regions were activate during the choices? Some were those traditionally associated with emotional expression. Greene's work adds the biology of emotions to our developing understanding of neural mechanisms that give rise to our moral judgments….
Future studies will investigate the influences of genomic alterations on ethical behaviors. A simple-minded attempt to locate a 'god gene' once drew attention and derision, but that is behind us. Serious work will look at inherited variations in temperament and try to chart mechanisms by which genetic changes could influence behavioral changes. If a single nucleotide base is mutated in DNA region controlling expression of a specific gene, does the alteration in the amount of that gene's messenger RNA, and thence its protein, influence important neuronal functions ? If the coding region of that gene is perturbed, would that change the chemistry and therefore the functional efficiency of the resulting protein ? Over the next few decades, this kind of painstaking work will document the genetic basis of ethical behavior as a natural develoment.

I have a situation where I would like to make things a bit easier on myself.
I am testing out, and will possibly be making the plunge to Free Pascal, as I have extensive knowledge of Delphi, and it is very similar, except with Free Pascal I can compile for any platform without having to make changes to the code.
I want to be able to, by using the Set Compiler Options under the Build menu, set the target OS for the compile, and then UES use the proper compiler/cross-compiler to do the job, with a default to the OS that I am coding under (Win7 64-bit). I have Free Pascal compilers that will compile native code from Win7-64 to Win32, OS-X 32 and 64, Linux 32 and 64, FreeBSD, Haiku, etc. I just need to be able to set the target in a drop-down, that will automatically select the correct compiler executable and set the proper target extension and a target directory (much like there is a debug directory and release directory, but I want release directories for each target platform.)
Is this possible to do within a single compiler config file without me having to select a different compiler for each target build? Or will I have to select a different compiler config file for each target build?
What would be ideal is if I could have the drop-down in the tool-bar that says "Debug/Release" to have all my target options in that, like: Debug Win64, Release Win64, Release Win32, Release Ubuntu64, Release Ubuntu32, etc. Just need to know what is possible here. I don't want all the step by step at this point, as I'd like to dive in and figure most of it out myself, but no sense in diving in if it isn't possible.

Nice work.... some glitches scattered around, but for the first release (as far as I can tell, it's a great start!).
glitches I've seen.... - Some of the views are not available (movie views in my instance) even when enabled in the settings. A restart of XBMC fixed this issue (partially). - Setting custom backdrop folders for the homescreen (choosing a folder for multiple backdrops) didn't work. - Backdrop transition in the home screen (when moving between menu items) is possibly too instant... there doesn't appear to be a transition effect. It's a matter of taste but feels less 'fluid' Positives.... Nice improvements on the making options available in the menu within views (e.g. DVD case on/off) Nice addons integration in the setting menu Quite a nice font in the home menu (not sure if I prefer the original Aeon or not, I will get used to it!).. but it's definitely nice. Nice 'advice' given in the settings options when a user chooses something that can slow down navigation. Nice that it can be updated via addon menu (no need for Git / SVN!!!) Once again, very good work.... Keep it up ;-) |

Agreed - nice work! - custom backdrops - I was eventually able to get this to work, I forget exactly how. There seem to be 2 settings for this - the familiar one when you press up/down to select a single image, or a folder, AND a menu entry where you choose if you want to use images from the library. I'll check my settings tonite, but it definitely is working for me now. - Kiosk Mode - I would LOVE to see a kiosk mode like Showmix had - when it's on you get NO side menu when browsing movies/tv shows. For my 'users' (wife and parents who visit) the side menu is confusing. The 'hack' I use fixes it, but it also disables the 'press up to view trailer' functionality. Overall though it's very snappy and seems stable. |

Agree with Kiosk mode.... it's too easy in XBMC for kids to 'have a play' and break views etc |

Hello everyone.
On the background to the main menu just check here and you can not really change. I focused on this skin themes and I forgot the part of customization. I will correct and will soon be receiving the update automatically by the repository. On the favorites, I'm waiting for a plugin that works really well, so can I include the function in the skin. I appreciate the comments of all. |

Thanks Boykster, this was indeed the 1080/720 toggle that did it!
Another question (maybe dumb) how do you use the "shows" shortcut on the main screen? I would be happy to set a few files I have as such, but I can't find any such category when I set a source. Thanks again. |

Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall
If you've never sampled the off-the-beam humor of British comic-giant Spike Milligan, by all means look up Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall. Milligan stars as a long-in-tooth Army rookie, going through basic training in the early war years. "God smiles on the incompetent" seems to be the message here, as Milligan escapes certain death at several junctures thanks to his ingrained stupidity. Also appearing are Carry On stalwart Jim Dale and Dad's Army regular Arthur Lowe. Based on Milligan's own novel, Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall was released worldwide by United Artists. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Alf 'n' Family
The British television series Til Death Do Us Part was the forerunner to the American TV hit All in the Family. The original series' Archie Bunker was Alf Garnett, a bigoted, profane cockney played by Warren Mitchell. The "Edith" was the dimwitted Else, portrayed by Dandy Nichols. The British series' catchphrase was not "Stifle yerself, dingbat" but instead "You silly moo!" Eschewing the heavy-handed social commentary indulged in by All in the Family producer Norman Lear, Til Death Do Us Part existed principally to invoke loud (and sometime embarrassed) gusts of laughter. Several feature films were spun off from the property: the first of these, Alf 'N' Family flashed back to Alf and Else's marriage, skipped ahead to the wedding of the Garrett's daughter Rita (Una Stubbs) to unwashed hippie Mike (Anthony Booth), and concluded with the family's move from their crowded flat to a home in the suburbs. Alf 'N' Family was scripted by Til Death Do Us Part creator Johnny Speight. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bless This House
Bless This House is a feature-length spinoff of the British TV sitcom of the same name. The episodic nature of the film suggests that it was cobbled together from various half hours of the original series. Sidney James and Diana Coupland play the nonplussed owners of a "money pit" new home. Their misadventures involve fire, water, homemade booze, and angry neighbors. Most American viewers got their first chance to savor Bless This House when the featurized version was made available to cable TV in the early 1980s. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Carry On Dick
This threadbare "Carry On" comedy is set in the 18th century and concerns a fellow with a dual identity: by day, he's the Reverend Flasher; after dusk, he moonlights as the treacherous highwayman Dick Turpin. (Both are played by Sidney James). Dogooders Captain Desmond Fancey (Kenneth Williams) and Sgt. Jock Strapp (Jack Douglas) search for this elusive scoundrel who is robbing travelers every evening. Adding fool to the fire is Mme. Desiree (Joan Sims) and her entourage of doxies. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Carry On Henry
This bawdy entry in the long-running series of British "Carry On" comedies is set in the court of King Henry the VIII and centers on the gang's attempt to freshen up the odiferous Queen Marie and thereby save her head. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This is the 20th feature in the successful "Carry On" series of bawdy slapstick comedies. Sidney Bliss (Sidney James) and his faithful assistant Sophie (Hattie Jacques) run a bogus matrimonial agency designed to unite people looking for love and romance. One couple never speaks a word in the film but are seen kissing in strange and familiar places. Three love-starved ladies offer their services to anyone who asks, and an excellent pie fight harkens back to the days of the classic silent comedies, with continual running gags and sexual innuendo permeating the film. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

The last of four "medical" entries in the Carry On series is also the lewdest; whether it's the funniest is a matter of taste (taste?) The action takes places at Finisham Maternity Hospital. If you liked that "Finisham" gag, you'll adore such characters as Susan Ball, Miss Willing, and Mrs. Putzova. Oh, yes, we must have a plot somewhere. It seems that a group of thieves hope to steal a huge shipment of contraceptives from the hospital. Alas and alack for them, Matron (Hattie Jacques) and head doctor Sir Bernard Cutting (Kenneth Williams) remain forever underfoot. Other stalwart Carry On-ers in the cast, many in surprisingly fleeting roles, include Kevin Connor, Joan Sims and Barbara Windsor. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Confessions of a Driving Instructor
Britain's Confessions series, like the Carry On films, were episodic slapstickfests with emphasis on questionable taste. Based on an autobiographical novel by Timothy Lea, the film stars Robin Askwith as a feckless driving teacher named...Tom Lea. His customers range from inept to dangerous. Their "victims" include golfing dowagers, violinists and boy hikers. Somehow or other, a group of former borstal boys (reform school students) gets mixed up with Lea and his reckless charges. Chronologically, Confessions of a Driving Instructor was wedged between Confessions of a Window Cleaner (one of the few series entries to get an American release) and Confessions of Holiday Camp. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Confessions of a Pop Performer
In this ribald erotic comedy, brothers team up to promote a rock band. Even though the musicians are remarkably untalented and one of the brothers is an incredible klutz, somehow they manage to succeed. Unfortunately, the band's fall to the bottom is nearly as quick as its rise to the top, for the boys find themselves unable to resist the temptations of several, seductive and large-breasted women. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Confessions of a Window Cleaner
The British "Confessions" film series was reminiscent of the "Carry On" series, albeit far, far dirtier. Many fans consider the first entry, Confessions of a Window Cleaner, to be the best of the batch. Based on a supposedly autobiographical novel by Timothy Lea, the film stars Robin Askwith as an apprentice window washer with a voyeuristic streak. Nearly everyone with whom Askwith comes in contact is an oversexed, underdressed female. Potato-shaped
Dandy Nichols plays the protagonist's mother. An anachronism even before it was released, Confessions of a Window Cleaner was nonetheless successful enough to inspire several sequels, none of which were released to American theatres. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hear My Song
The owner of a British nightclub attempts to do the impossible by coaxing a legendary Irish tenor out of retirement for a once-in-a-lifetime show in this engagingly quirky comedy. The owner, Mickey O'Neill, is particularly desperate to land a performance by the great Josef Locke, as his already questionable reputation was ruined when he booked an impostor claiming to be Locke. Now only providing a show by the real thing can make up for it. Trouble is, Locke fled England several decades before to avoid charges of tax evasion, and would face immediate arrest upon his return. Naturally, the comedy emerges from O'Neill's desperate attempts to convince Locke to participate in the scheme. Much of the film's charm comes from the presentation of eccentric but believable characters, particularly Locke himself -- a real historical figure given warm life by Ned Beatty, who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for his performance. The film as a whole manages a similar balancing act between realism and comic fantasy, grounding even the less believable aspect of the narrative in strongly observed local color. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet
James Herriot wrote several well-loved books about his experiences as a small-town veterinarian in the Yorkshire countryside of Britain in the 1930s. One of them gave its title to the film All Creatures Great and Small. That family movie was so successful that this movie It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet, or All Things Bright and Beautiful was made. All the stories told explore the richness of the interactions between humans and animals and the quirky wisdom which a young country veterinarian develops under the wise and eccentric tutelage of his senior in practice, Siegfried Farnon. These stories later inspired a popular BBC television series. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Oddball Hall
Advertised as a comedy in the style of The Gods Must Be Crazy, the crime farce Oddball Hall bears little actual resemblance to that film but for the fact that it is set in a remote African village and centers on cross-cultural differences between the natives and a quartet of jewel thieves who have been hiding out for a few years waiting for the cops to give up their search so they can fence their loot and move to Rio. The crooks are allowed to stay because they have convinced the people that they are members of the fraternal order, Oddball Hall and have magical powers. These powers are put to the test when a naive native youth, the son of a chieftain shows up and they mistake him for the real leader of the Oddballs. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

One More Time
Rat-pack pals Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford reprise their roles of Charlie Salt and Chris Pepper, respectively, in this film that marks the directorial debut of comedian/writer Jerry Lewis. Lawford also plays Lord Sydney Pepper, the twin brother of Charlie who is a murder victim. Salt and Pepper investigate the crime in this uneven comedy feature. Pepper takes the place of his dead brother and winds up involved in a diamond-smuggling operation. The duo is chased through the bucolic English countryside by Interpol agents and crooks after the stolen gems. Like many sequels, it fails to be as amusing as the original, which wasn't that great in the first place. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Robin and Marian
Add Robin and Marian to Queue

Though the story told in Robin and Marian is unfamiliar to most audiences, it is actually quite faithful to several of the ancient Robin Hood legends. During the Crusades, Robin (Sean Connery) is still loyal to King Richard the Lionheart (Richard Harris), but even he has trouble adjusting to the monarch's ever-increasing paranoia and lunacy. After Richard's death, Robin returns to England, his first visit to his home turf in 20 years. He looks up his beloved Maid Marian (Audrey Hepburn, last seen in 1967's Wait Until Dark), who is now a middle-aged nun. No sooner do Robin and Marian renew their relationship than the aging Merry Men demand Robin's services in thwarting their old foe, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robert Shaw). Marian is aghast that the long-standing feud between Robin and the sheriff threatens to expand into wholesale bloodshed. The two venerable enemies agree to one last
mano a mano
battle -- only to watch helplessly as the all-out war they'd tried to avoid commences anyway. Both the tragic climax and Robin's last, defiant arrow shot are drawn directly from authentic Robin Hood ballads of the 14th and 15th centuries. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Like Watership Down, Plague Dogs is an animated cartoon feature based on a novel by Richard Adams and produced by Martin Rosen. And also like Watership Down, it is more appropriate for an older audience. Two dogs escape from a British government research lab. As the authorities hunt down the canine fugitives, the two dogs search for their original master and for a place where they'll be free from the iniquities and cruelties of Mankind. Plague Dogs was completed in 1982, but was not released in the US until two years later. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Till Death Us Do Part to top of Queue
This film is taken from the popular British television series. Alf Garnett (Warren Mitchell) is a middle-aged bigot who loves the Queen and all that for which the kingdom (or what is left of it) stands, right or wrong. He puts up with his dizzy wife, Else (Dandy Nichols), his liberated daughter (Una Stubbs), and her long-haired, liberal-minded husband (Anthony Booth), who causes him no end of grief. Till Death Us Do Part is the exact blueprint used for the popular U.S. television series All in the Family. Alf dreams of being knighted by the Queen, gets drunk at a wedding reception, and struggles with the changing world within the framework of his narrow-minded stubbornness. Ray Davies of the Kinks provides the title track for this offbeat but true-to-life comedy feature. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

The people who stop in the middle of the street and honk repeatedly till the person they're picking up comes out of their house. It's annoying at any part of the day, but especially when they do it after 8. Park the dingdangity car, get out and go to the door. If they have time to sit there and honk repeatedly, they have the time to go up to the darned door, for pity's sake!
... I have to wonder where they're from, if an elevator is the most exciting thing they can think of to see while on their field trip!
Thanks, Gramma Dishes. I think you're right and that my silent temper tantrum is because my feelings are hurt. To the person that asked, and cab is not an option because of funds. I live out in the middle of nowhere so it would be far to expensive. If I felt it was urgent enough to spend the money on a cab, I'd call for an ambulance. My foot needs to be seen by a doctor, but it's not life or death. I think I'm just being grumpy because of how far down on her priority list I seem to be.

The original Portal got a lot of attention for its unique gameplay and witty writing. Placed in the Orange Box, a bundle of several Half Life games and Team Fortress 2, it was a small side adventure that left most players hungry for more. Innovative and fun as it was, Portal didn't last much longer than 4 hours. After almost 4 years and tons of co-op zombie killing, Valve has brought Portal back. Not as another new tech demo, but as a full game with an awesome story, writing that's funnier than ever before, and new types of puzzles and characters that have fully realized the original game's potential. This is Portal 2, and it is absolutely NOT a lie.
- Press Start:
Portal 2's menu is similar to past Valve titles, especially Half Life 2. The menu is backed by very dynamic images that change depending on where the most recent game save was in the story, and constantly move. The menu is animated to move like the Aperture's wall panels, and it works great as an introduction to the diabolical laboratory's technology.
- Story: 5/5
As previously stated, the main draw of Portal 2's story is the writing. From the hilariously witty banter with your new slightly moronic robot friend Wheatly to bone chilling threats from GlaDOS, there is not a single line of dialogue in the game that isn't fantastically done. Few games can make me laugh until I cry and still make me take the game seriously like Portal 2 did. You don't necessarily need to have played the original Portal to understand anything, but it definitely makes the story much better and concise if you have. The new story is pretty good, and takes some seriously interesting turns. Without spoiling anything, I will say that a certain bloodthirsty A.I. makes an appearance, and she has had a long time to stew in her pure hatred extract.
The game is very cinematic, and the events in the very beginning and end are totally awesome. The setpieces are phenomenally done, and the transformation of the facilities throughout the game is extremely cool. The story never feels forced, and always kept me on my toes. For one reason or another, there is never a dull moment in Portal 2. Even when you are finished with the main story, you can play the co-op campaign, which is decent in length and actually fits into the story of the main game. Just be sure to play the main story first.
- Gameplay: 5/5
Portal 2 is a blast to play. As great as the writing is, the puzzles and gameplay elements is where the game really shines. Whether you are using the portal gun to launch yourself towards your goal, redirecting lasers, or shooting yourself into the air with super-speed gel, Valve made sure there was enough new types of obstacles and tools in Portal 2 to keep you constantly satisfied and never bored with a single type of puzzle. The puzzles are so perfectly paced and fun, that even gamers who don't enjoy puzzle games should still be able to have fun with Portal 2.
The co-op elements in Portal 2 are also fantastic. You play as two robots GLaDOS uses for testing, and the puzzles utilize coordination and teamwork in ways that few games do. A surprising amount of polish was put on the co-op, and it makes it a great place to go once you finish the main story.
- Graphics: 4/5
The style and attention to detail in Portal 2 is really cool, and the Aperture Science handheld Portal Device looks amazing. The testing labs are pretty, the back walkways and machinery is grungy and creepy, and the robots look awesome. However, save for a few choice character models and items, Portal 2's graphics will never really impress you. You won't ever think they look bad, but their appeal is more in the style than the quality.
- Music: 5/5
The soundtrack for Portal 2 was composed by Mike Morasky, a Valve veteran that did additional music for the original Portal. He wrote all of the music with the exceptions of "Want you Gone", composed by Jonathan Coultin, "Exile Vilify", composed by The National, and "Offering", an arrangement of Little Prelude in C Minor, BWV 934 by Johann Sebastian Bach composed by Larry Stephens.
Portal 2's music is much more upbeat than the original Portal, and is mostly unmixed synthetic. The new ending credits song, "Want you Gone", is almost as good as the original Portal's "Still Alive", which is a hard act to follow. Overall, it is a great soundtrack, placing mystery, dread and tension in all the right places. Combine that with the best voice acting since a Bioware RPG, and you have a game that knows just how to sound.
- Replayability: 4/5
Portal 2's main story is only around 12 hours long, placing it at an average play time for games in it's class. However, there are no higher difficulties or any real reasons to play the story more than once, save for Achievements/Trophies or simply because you just have to play it again. The game's saving grace is its co-op campaign, adding more hours on to its total worth and the ability to have tons of fun with a friend over and over. The story will bring you to the party, but co-op will keep you playing for just a while longer.
- Final Grade: 5/5
Portal 2 is a fantastic game, and one that every gamer should experience. Its size is slightly disappointing, but the amount of quality pushed into the story and co-op is not often seen. The writing is phenomenal, the characters are well created, the story is expertly told, the puzzles were insanely fun, and overall the game was just awesome. Even gamers who don't necessarily enjoy puzzle games will still love this game just for what it is. Portal 2 surpassed all my expectations, and has become one of my favorite games of all time. I give it 5/5 electrical potatoes, and my highest recommendation for anyone who wants to play a game they will never forget.

A [70m] rope is a must, barely getting you back to the ground. Fun, varied climbing starting at the right-facing corner, finishing on the steep orange horn. In the summer, the flies can be bad in this gully.
This is located at the top of the gully, left of the main wall.
15 bolts to 2-bolt anchor. Eds. bring 2 ropes or a 70m rope.
This was fun but very easy for 10c. The crux, which according the guidebook is at the top, felt like 9. Very straighforward with good feet and hands leading to the crack that leads to the anchors. The crux for me was about midway where after hand traversing left you end up balanced in a left-facing corner. Getting back right out of that corner was a bit dicey.
The description says a 60m will get you to the ground, but we were just barely to the ground with our 70m. Good idea to knot your ends on this one.

Corea, Vitous, and Haynes greatly expand the scope of the piano trio as they pull and stretch the concept of group interaction to an entirely new plateau. From the bouncing excitement of Corea's "Matrix" to the dark blaze of the burning "Step-What Was," the trio moves as one, constantly arcing into new directions at every turn.
Haynes, the eldest of the three, is in particularly energetic form, providing a constant fire underneath the churning piano of Corea. Standout cuts include a mesmerizing interpretation of the classic "My One and Only Love," Corea's waltzing "Windows," and the free-form Corea/Vitous duet "Gemini."
Musicians: Chick Corea, piano Miroslav Vitous, bass Roy Haynes, drums

Every leader will come to the point where he feels he can go no more. That he must give in to the exhaustion he is facing. But is this the proper course to take?
This is the question answered by Andy Andrews in the last decision of The Traveler's Gift. I've shared with you the previous six decisions in past blog posts.
David Ponder nears the end of his journey as he receives the scroll from Gabriel with the decision to Persist Without Exception written on it. It's a fitting end as David had not persisted without exception and that's how he wound up traveling through time.

Seminole Community College: Refusal to Allow Student to Distribute Literature
Florida's Seminole Community College censored student Eliana Campos when she tried to pass out flyers expressing disapproval with slaughterhouse practices. The flyers, which were produced by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was censored when an administrator proclaimed that Campos' documents, "instill[ed] a feeling" in her that she did not like. Approximately one week after FIRE's David French sent a letter to SCC, Ms. Campos' free speech rights were restored. SCC also agreed to create a committee to review all of its policies regarding speech.
- "Victory for Freedom of Speech at Seminole Community College," June 16, 2005: In a quick yet important victory for freedom of speech, Florida's Seminole Community College is allowing a student to distribute literature on slaughterhouse brutality on equal terms with other students and student groups. The college, which had initially insisted that the student distribute literature only within the college's so-called "free speech zone," reversed this decision only a few hours after FIRE took the case public yesterday.

Over-the-Air Digital TV with Linux
My ten-year-old TV set gave out recently. Being a Linux geek, I use a variety of open-source distributions on my notebook and desktop. So, the demise of my TV was a great opportunity to see if I could watch television on Linux instead of getting another TV set. It's just in time too, because over-the-air television broadcasts in the US will convert to all digital in February 2009. So, it was exciting to switch over to digital TV on my desktop.
In my quest to understand the state of digital TV (DTV) on Linux, I looked at digital TV tuner cards, antennas and accessories. I chose to set up MythTV, and by the end of the entire experience, I had a cool digital TV right on my Linux desktop with Picture-in-Picture and remote control. It was enough high-definition (HD) TV to turn me into a serious couch potato. I'm happy to report that Linux, along with hardware support from digital TV tuner cards, video cards, LCD monitors and rich software, such as MythTV, is ready for prime time.
For this review, I used a PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHz, with 4GB memory, an NVIDIA 8800 GT graphics card, and a 750GB SATA hard disk. The display was a Samsung SyncMaster 245BW, with a resolution of 1920x1200. I ran Ubuntu 7.10, with all the latest updates, as my operating system. Using a powerful graphics card was essential for viewing HD programs on a high-resolution, wide-screen display.
A good antenna also is a critical component of the DTV setup. I tested both indoor and outdoor antennas, and discovered that the reception improved dramatically when using an outdoor antenna. The reception also improved with amplified indoor antennas. Standard indoor antennas performed adequately only when positioned very carefully. Because HDTV content is high-resolution (1920x1080), if your signal is weak, you may see a lot of artifacts. Frequent artifacts result in a very poor viewing experience. Hence, choosing an amplified indoor antenna or an outdoor antenna is recommended. Standard-definition TV (SDTV) is not as high-resolution and has greater tolerance for weak broadcast signals. But, even here a good antenna is essential.
I used MythTV (version 0.20.2) to view over-the-air DTV channels. MythTV is an open-source home entertainment software application for Linux and Mac OS. It has grown to become one of the most comprehensive, feature-rich platforms for viewing and recording television programming from over-the-air and cable broadcasts. I also used another open-source software application called tvtime (version 1.0.2) to view over-the-air analog NTSC channels.
So, what can we watch? There are a lot of over-the-air programs available in all major US metropolitan areas. For example, ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC offer standard and high-definition programming in addition to analog NTSC. In my location, the San Francisco Bay area, local public broadcasting stations (PBS) broadcast high-quality educational and topical content in HDTV format from 5pm to 6am each day.
To evaluate various digital tuner cards, I tested first whether the hardware was recognized by Linux at boot time by checking the system logs. If it wasn't recognized, I had to find and build a device driver manually. Once this step was successful, I configured the tuner card within MythTV. As a part of configuration, MythTV scans for channels available in the broadcast area. On average, it took MythTV about seven minutes to find more than 25 digital channels. Once the channels were found, we were ready to watch digital TV.
I evaluated a range of digital tuners that included PCI, PCI Express and USB bus types.
The pcHDTV HD-5500 is a PCI card and is the only hardware designed and marketed to support Linux right out of the box. The HD-5500 supports digital (ATSC), analog (NTSC) and unencrypted cable TV signals. This low-profile PCI card provides a coaxial input for a TV antenna, a stereo audio output jack for analog TV and a nine-pin port for an adapter cable. The adapter cable provides inputs for S-Video and stereo audio, an RCA video output, and an IR transmitter (to control a set-top box). pcHDTV ships a CD with the HD-5500 tuner card, which includes drivers for 2.4 and older 2.6 kernels, command-line tools to capture and manipulate digital (ATSC) data streams and signals, and a version of the Xine video player customized to support HDTV.
This tuner card worked out of the box—configuration was as easy as installing the card into the PCI slot of my desktop test machine. Both the digital (ATSC) and analog (NTSC) tuners on the hardware were recognized right away and were fully functional at system bootup. Configuring the tuner as a "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)" in MythTV was simple. If I had installed additional pcHDTV cards, I could have tested out multicard features, such as Picture-in-Picture (PiP) in MythTV. pcHDTV claims you can put up to four such cards in a single system.
The picture quality for both high-definition and standard-definition programs was superb. To top it off, the whole idea of having an end-to-end Linux DTV solution with a no-fuss setup and a great viewing experience is just plain cool. The HD-5500 is an ideal choice for a desktop Linux system. It would be nice to have a USB version for laptops as well. A remote control, as offered by several other DTV tuner products, would be icing on the cake.
I had the chance to catch up with pcHDTV's CEO, Jack Kelliher, by e-mail (see the Interview with Jack Kelliher, CEO and Cofounder of pcHDTV sidebar).
I still prefer to watch TV
I still prefer to watch TV on classic TV screens rather than on my laptop
very interesting post though
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

HARDEEVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Developers who hope to create as many as 4,000 jobs through an entertainment and resort complex off Hilton Head Island plan to meet with Gov. Nikki Haley to discuss the project.
They need her approval because the resort will include a casino.
Joe Brinn is the managing partner for Hilton Head Lakes and said he hopes the governor will approve the idea after she sees the plans. The idea is for an upscale resort similar to the Greenbrier in West Virginia or the Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas.
The governor's approval is needed under federal law because the casino will be operated in conjunction with Cherokee Indians.
Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey says the governor wants jobs, but he says there is a better way than a casino.

A pilot spots a thief robbing his home from midair so what does the -- -- he follows the thief and eventually he helps bust the guy.
Pilot David -- joins us from Miami with his remarkable story morning day event.
Good morning and Allison are giving -- crazy story because as I understand it.
You routinely fly between your homes in Florida and North Carolina so.
On Sunday -- when you fly I should mention you often do a flyover kind of a drive by.
Of your home.
Before you land at the airport now on Sunday when you were doing this fly over your home what did you see.
Well the as you mentioned we we always -- apply to her room and sometimes and fly and over we actually joke about.
You know when they were gonna catch somebody trying to steal something and on Sunday afternoon about 230 when we were fly -- over.
We are about 800 feet and my wife looked out the -- and said -- somebody's in our driveway.
So we literally -- the plane down to very close proximity.
And did have real tight circle and around the house and surely enough there was a person in -- driveway with a truck backed up to -- And what do you do that every did you see a beyond the truck backed up could you see him doing some -- Oh yes oh yes we were at approximately 300 feet above the ground or -- sit and -- in a pretty tight circle.
And you you can see everything at that altitude and we can actually see him walking around the house.
And you know looking into windows and and you know actually.
Seeing if the front door was open.
You know we we observing the whole time our house is very visible from the -- But that's not the the funny part of the story is the fact that.
The gentleman was looking up at us obviously seeing circling him and I guess he just didn't make the correlation that.
He was being watched.
-- it was your house so of course you know there was.
Realize that you can only monitor and you can't stop what he's doing from the air -- tried contacts.
The airport where you'll be landing but you can't get ahold of that -- beating what did you do next.
Well -- I tried to -- airport because it is it is the a class of airport that doesn't have a may end it radio.
So I didn't -- out on that.
Normally I would have a -- -- -- in my plane.
That I can hear over the intercom in my plane.
Didn't have that.
So my only option was to follow the guy until.
He was on -- -- that was long enough I knew that you know we can do -- -- in -- room.
Knew I had to land and quickly call 911 which I did.
The part of the amazing part of this story is.
The last time that I saw him he was turning right.
-- two highway eighty in front of the police station.
And that's kind of frustrating when you're circling above the guy with your stolen trailer thinking that.
The police you know are right there for could just get a hold of him right now they can walk into stores stop.
There -- unaware that -- -- is at a stop light right in front their police station while the -- that we're looking at here is Gary Robert pains.
He's 59 years old he's from Stafford Virginia he was arrested thanks to you -- 911 call upon your landing.
He was charged the grand theft.
Well congratulations.
On spotting -- and helping arrest this guy what's the lesson of the story here.
You know you're you're stealing sudden somebody's house if there's a plane circling you.
Might be a good idea to just drop it and leave and he just -- everything and left.
He wouldn't be in jail today.
That's a great point David I think that all Roberts should just look up that should be -- But I think -- -- -- -- that's I'm glad all ended well thanks so much for sharing your story -- -- us.
Thank you -- pleasure.

May 29, 2012 Klas Tybrandt, doctoral student in organic electronics at Linkoping University, Sweden, has developed an integrated chemical chip.
The results have just been published in the journal Nature Communications.
The Organic Electronics research group at Linköping University previously developed ion transistors for transport of both positive and negative ions, as well as biomolecules. Tybrandt has now succeeded in combining both transistor types into complementary circuits, in a similar way to traditional silicon-based electronics.
An advantage of chemical circuits is that the charge carrier consists of chemical substances with various functions. This means that we now have new opportunities to control and regulate the signal paths of cells in the human body.
"We can, for example, send out signals to muscle synapses where the signalling system may not work for some reason. We know our chip works with common signalling substances, for example acetylcholine," says Magnus Berggren, Professor of Organic Electronics and leader of the research group.
The development of ion transistors, which can control and transport ions and charged biomolecules, was begun three years ago by Tybrandt and Berggren, respectively a doctoral student and professor in Organic Electronics at the Department of Science and Technology at Linköping University. The transistors were then used by researchers at Karolinska Institutet to control the delivery of the signalling substance acetylcholine to individual cells. The results were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In conjunction with Robert Forchheimer, Professor of Information Coding at LiU, Tybrandt has now taken the next step by developing chemical chips that also contain logic gates, such as NAND gates that allow for the construction of all logical functions.
His breakthrough creates the basis for an entirely new circuit technology based on ions and molecules instead of electrons and holes.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in thousands of bodily functions, ranging from muscle protein synthesis and cell growth to boosting immunity wound healing. It is potentially involved in more bodily functions than any other mineral.
Zinc is strongly recognised for the role it plays to promote a healthy immune system and overall good health.
It is strongly recommended that active individuals pay particular attention to their zinc levels as it particularly effective in the fight against free radicals and can be lost through sweating.
Zinc deficiency has been shown to lead to poor immune function with recent studies suggesting it can help reduce the duration of the common cold.

Earlier this week more than 300 UFC and Strikeforce fighters flew to Las Vegas for the annual Fighter Summit.
The event, which is closed to media and fans, gives Zuffa fighters a crash course in everything from management to social media to Zuffa's accidental medical insurance, which has been expanded to include preexisting conditions.
Additionally, at this year's summit, a focus was placed on the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
In fact, the UFC and Strikeforce announced a formalized written policy against PEDs and other banned substances.
"It is important to continue educating our athletes on the dangers of PEDs and other banned substances," Lawrence Epstein, the companys executive Strikeforce president and general counsel, stated. "PED and banned substance usage harms the integrity of sport, potentially compromises the safety of our athletes, raises concerns for both short- and long-term health issues, and sends an improper message to our fanbase.
"We will continue to be at the forefront of this issue, and we will continue to work with athletic commissions and other bodies to ensure to the fullest extent possible that testing procedure keep pace with scientific advancements regarding the identification and detection of prohibited substances."
Epstein said the UFC and Strikeforce will follow guidelines drafted by the same law firm that advises the NFL.
UFC medical consultant Dr. Jeff Davidson and Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer also spoke about testosterone-replacement therapy and the health effects of PEDs during the two-day summit.
"Flying over 300 athletes from literally all over the world from Brazil, Europe, the Far East, Australia and all over North America is always a logistical challenge," UFC Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta stated. "But it is invaluable for our major sports organization to get all of our athletes together go over things like insurance, drug testing and social responsibility. We had great feedback from our athletes, and the summit was extremely worthwhile."
