Big Brother 13 Recap: Double Eviction Night
August 25, 2011 08:05 PM by Ryan Haidet
Big Brother 13 went into hyperdrive tonight as two people were evicted from the house. But before experiencing an entire week of the game in one night, Daniele was fighting to spare herself from elimination. Could she pull enough votes to keep her in the game over Kalia? Who else was evicted from tonight's super-packed episode? Read on to find out!
Daniele's Fight
Not giving up without a fight after Jeff used the Power of Veto to put her on the chopping block, Daniele started her strategy with Shelly. She repeatedly pounded in the fact that if Jeff and Jordan make it to the final three that nobody else stood a chance. Surprisingly, it worked on Shelly. She finally realized that following Jeff and Jordan wouldn't do her any good at the end of the game. But could they convince Adam to vote with them?
Shelly tried to explain how dangerous Jeff and Jordan will be at the end of the game. Although Adam thought she was making sense, he was concerned about aligning with Daniele. He was afraid she wasn't trustworthy.
When Shelly realized that getting Adam to flip was hopeless, she went to Rachel. Yes… Rachel! The first thing Shelly told her was that Jeff purposely lost the cornhole PoV competition so Adam could win. That move eventually resulted in Brendon getting bounced from the house. Rachel was surprised to hear that Jeff would do that, so she went to chat with Daniele to see if it was all true. Then, believe it or not, Rachel said she would consider aligning with Daniele's side. Wow. Daniele was very excited that she had a shot at staying in the house by getting "a glimmer of hope in red extensions and furry boots. "I will do anything to stay — even if that means making a deal with the devil."
First Live Eviction
Immediately before the first live eviction, host Julie Chen said the house erupted earlier when Jeff realized that Shelly was flipping sides. But since there probably wasn't enough time to edit that fight into tonight's episode, we didn't get to see any of it.
Next, Daniele and Kalia each had a moment to ask for support before the live vote. Daniele went first and started out by thanking everybody at CBS for getting her back on the show. Then she went into a spiel about how some people in the house are playing without their own brains. Instead, those players — meaning Adam — are simply helping write the winning check for Jeff and Jordan. She's right. Adam, if you keep following them around, you're never going to get anywhere on your own. For being such a big fan, it's disappointing to see you play so weak.
Since Daniele's speech went long (almost like she knew it would be her last), Kalia only had a few seconds. She simply asked everybody to keep her in the game. When the votes were made one by one in the Diary Room, Jordan, Rachel and Adam voted to evict Daniele, which was enough to get her out of the house.
As she grabbed her bag and said her goodbyes, Daniele exchanged hugs with everybody except for Jeff, Jordan and Rachel — but none of them approached her with a loving farewell either. Get over yourselves, folks. It's a game. During her exit interview, Daniele simply said that Adam is the worst player to ever compete in the Big Brother house.
New Head of Household
The live Head of Household competition involved questions regarding events in the house. After just three questions, we were down to two contestants left in the competition — Kalia and Jordan. With the next question, Kalia claimed victory and became HoH for the second time this summer.
When we returned from commercial, Kalia chose to nominate Rachel and Jeff for eviction.
Clowning Around For Power of Veto
The live Power of Veto competition was pretty goofy. The contestants who were selected to compete (all but Jordan) had to run to the other side of the backyard and jump in a ball pit. Buried within the colored balls were two yellow clown shoes. The first person to find the shoes and bring them back to the starting point one at a time would win the PoV. Jeff could have easily won this challenge had he noticed he tossed one of the yellow shoes out of his pit onto the ground as he was furiously tossing the balls aside. But he didn't see it at all and Porsche won the PoV.
Another Live Eviction
Porsche obviously didn't use the PoV, which left Jeff and Rachel on the chopping block. Right before the live vote, Rachel said she respected everybody in the house and hoped they would make their decision based on their best strategic move. Then Jeff stood and told them all the vote was easy. He looked at Adam and basically said, "You're my boy." Then he looked at Shelly and asked her to push their fight this morning under the rug. He kept asking her to respect both himself and Jordan for all they had done with her in the game so far.
When it came time for the live voting, it was interesting. Jordan entered the Diary Room first with tears in her eyes as she voted to evict Rachel. Porsche walked in next and happily cast a vocal ballot for Jeff. When Adam went next, he paused for a few seconds before announcing a vote for Rachel. Lastly, Shelly entered the Diary Room and cried as she voted to evict Jeff.
Yup, it came down to a tie. That forced Kalia, the HoH, to break it. She rose to her feet and voted to evict Jeff. He walked out of the house after giving Jordan a kiss, clearly fired up.
In his exit interview, Jeff said nobody in the house has a "sack." Apparently that was to suggest nobody was brave enough to make big moves. Angry about being evicted, Jeff then made a remark that several people in the house have been getting by without doing anything this summer — until now. Screeeeech! Back up! Jeff, you made the decision to cut Daniele loose even though she promised to keep you safe. She was a true player, not a floater. But your decision to backdoor her kept the floaters alive and then they slit your throat. If you were so against floaters, why were you aligned with Adam? As Homer Simpson would say, "D'oh!"
The episode then closed out with Jordan and Rachel crying on the couch. Wow, what a night! Next week should be interesting!
What do you think of tonight's episode? Are you happy Daniele and Jeff were evicted? Who do you hope wins the next HoH? Sound off and leave us a comment below!

#1) Whoever writes these articles, people want to just get the updates, not your 2 cents…so just pipe down.
#2) This season had a good ride, but with the 2 most exciting contestants now gone, there is no reason to watch now besides the season finale. Did anyone watch the After Dark session tonight??? I'd rather pull my teeth out one-by-one with a wrench than watch these boring "sacks". Whoever is in charge of casting selections should be fired for not seeing this potential 5 week disaster while planning out the season. These next 5 weeks could put Big Brother out of business.

I had written in the past that the episodes were getting boring. Well, no more boring. Jeff got what he deserved. I am very sorry to see Danie go. I beleive she worked very hard. Who would of thought the the remaining people are the ones to go after the 1/2 million dollars. This happened because Jeff realy screwed up, and fate tool over.

All I can say is BB better do a pandoras box or something to keep their viewers. This is the 1st season that everyone I know and chat with are not going to continue watching! Seriously, the ones that are left are just too boring. I personally will just read Jokers updates until Rachael and Jordon are gone! Then I'm done with BB for good! I can't see how they can save the show!

This chapter will examine the role of utu in Maori society and how it affected the relationships between individuals and groups. Utu was concerned with the maintenance of relationships and balance within Maori society. It acted as an effective form of social control governing people s behaviour in relation to each other.
Utu pervaded both the positive and negative aspects of Maori life, requiring some sort of response to given situations. The ensuing response was governed by the particular circumstances, and often involved mana and tapu.
The Role of Utu in Maori Society
Nau te rourou, naku te rourou, ka ora te manuhiri;
Nau te rakau, naku te rakau, ka mate te hoariri
Your food basket and my food basket will satisfy the guest;
Your weapon and my weapon will dispose of the enemy.[198]
The traditional concept of utu pervaded the Maori social, legal, political and economic order. To understand the practice of utu it is necessary to see it as operating within the Maori conceptual system. In cases where utu is sought, the conventions of mana and tapu are necessarily present as utu governed relationships when a breach of tapu occurred or where mana was increased or lost through the actions of an individual or group.
Utu has frequently been cited as revenge, but that is only one aspect of utu. Utu was also a reciprocation of kind deeds from one person to another. The degree and form in which utu was applied depended on the circumstances, and varied according to a number of factors including the parties involved and the action or actions of the parties. The response to an action would sometimes require revenge, other times it would be a reward, a transfer of goods or services, or an insulting song.
While particular actions deemed that a response was necessary, it was not necessary to apply utu immediately. There would be an appropriate time and place for utu. The utu could be deferred, sometimes for a few generations, but it was not forgotten. The party applying utu was required to restore the balance by responding over time.
It was common when applying utu to do or take more than was done to or taken from you. Inappropriate responses or a lack of response resulted in the party required to apply utu losing mana. However, the assessment of what was required for accord and satisfaction was left to the receiving side, be it kin, the party that did the wrong, or the donee tribe.[199] It was not a case of trusting to the receivers goodwill, for in the Maori way, no other course of action was open to them.[200]
"Reciprocity is how we survive. We may not be doing it as well as we should in 1999, but I think it's still the basis of our culture. I don't think it's changed really. It may have changed in terms of its lavishness, but in terms of its philosophy, it's still very much part of Maori thinking. You know if you come to my marae at some stage, I expect you to ask me to come to yours... The time frame doesn't matter, but at least you should have acknowledged the fact that you've been my guest at one time. . ."[201]
If a response did not ensue and the balance was not restored, then the party that initiated the utu process had to seek utu against the receiving party. The tradition within Maori society has always been to maintain balance.
The interests of the individual person often had to give way to those of the tribe, because the mana of the whanau, hapu and iwi in utu proceedings was paramount. Because of the collective nature of Maori society, even if one particular individual had initiated the utu process, it was not necessarily applied to that particular individual. The individual was simply a unit of a wider group.
Utu and Mana
"I think generosity was one of the most laudable features of our society, traditional society. The more generous the person, the greater his or her mana. . ."[202]
Utu is very closely linked to mana. It may be arguable that in some senses mana is reliant on utu. Often individuals and groups were prepared to make personal sacrifices to uphold their mana because the mantle of mana embraces the people, and when worn demands and provides far more than just prestige and status.[203]
To fail to give or receive utu diminished the mana of both parties and placed the relation in jeopardy. So too did giving in excess, since it made it difficult for the receiver to make a worthy return.[204] To leave any matter as it stood meant that one could be seen as lacking mana. Edward Wakefied on a visit to Taupo noticed what he described as legal proceedings for damages .
"Pakau, the brother of E Kuru, complained at each settlement which we visited of his wife having been formerly stolen by a Taupo man, who was now dead. He in consequence claimed before the assembled population utu, or 'compensation', from all the relations of the offender, and by this means claimed large damages. No objection was ever raised to his claim, though some of the mulcted relations wept, as they parted with a favourite musket or axe rather than bear the disgrace of refusing to make amends for their kinsman's misdeeds. Pakau carried back to Wanganui three muskets, fifteen axes and tomahawks, three cartridge-boxes, two kegs of powder, and a mat as damages."[205]
Rangatira were required to enhance the mana of their people at any opportunity. Whanau, hapu, iwi and waka would work hard together to keep their mana intact in dealings with people outside their kinship group. In 1844 the Waikato chiefs held a paremata at Remuera. There was a long bank of potatoes, seven feet wide, four high, stretched for 400 yards across the ground, above it, thousands of dried dogfish hung.[206] Waikato were hosting their enemies Ngati Haua in response to a paremata Ngati Haua had hosted the year before. The paremata was a way of restoring the balance of utu between Waikato and Ngati Haua, invariably enhancing the mana of Waikato.
Rangatira were also required to defend their tribe s mana and anything that tended to reduce it was resisted.[207] Patterson argues though that under the collectivist view of mana, no response was necessary where an individual increased their mana at the expense of another related individual s mana of the same kin group because the tribal mana remained unchanged.[208] However, if an individual damaged the mana of the whole tribe then the tribe would be required to restore their mana through any means necessary. Similarly, if an individual damaged the mana of someone from another kin group, that kin group would seek utu because their mana would be also be affected.
Gift Exchange as a Manifestation of Utu
A major component of utu was gift exchange. Social dealings were maintained through reciprocal exchanges of kindness and hospitality as well as the exchange of tangible goods and services. There was a continuing obligation to give, return and receive, not only between individuals and groups, but also between human beings and the natural world.[209]
The standard contract in Maori society was a gift with the expectation of a return in due course. It was not the transfer of rights for a prescribed consideration or immediate return.[210] Gift exchange created reciprocal, social, political and economic obligations on the parties involved and established permanent and personal relationships. Gifts and counter-gifts served to bind different groups or individuals. The taonga acted as the tohu, the tokens or material symbols of the social ties that provided the link between the groups.[211]
"It was always better to give, because you know that... they would come back. There's that philosophy you give somebody a piece of greenstone now and probably when your time comes they'll put it back on your coffin or something like this. . ."[212]
In some cases tikanga required that when gifts could be, they were returned when they were no longer needed for the original purpose. One claimant in the Rangiteaorere Land Claim[213] cited the following whakatauki, "ki a koe to taua koti" - to you our coat which emphasises that such a gift was not forever. The understanding was that because a storm had blown up and the recipient had not brought a coat, it was a covering, which the donor expected would be returned in the future.
Exchanges within communities or intra-communal exchange was limited principally to the transfer of goods or services between specialists within the community, for example the services of the tohunga were exchanged for choice fish. Exchanges between communities or extra-communal exchange were more common and involved mainly foodstuffs and tools. Coastal dwellers exchanged fish, shellfish, shark oil, karengo, paua shells and the like, with inland people, who responded in turn with preserved birds, eels, rats, cakes made from the meal of the hinau berry, feathers, bird skins and various forest products.[214]
Reciprocation in the repayment of obligations was usually more lavish than the original gift for the reason of enhancing a group s social reputation and prestige or its mana.[215] By giving there was an absolute trust that the other party would reply with a gift or gifts of equal or higher value, either immediately or at a later date. However, the donor did not stipulate how the gift was to be repaid. A bountiful feast or gift beyond the recipients ability to reciprocate could humiliate them, place them in your debt or even subtly subordinate them.[216] Thus the more one gave, the greater one s mana, and an unequal response meant loss of mana.
If the original gift was outdone, the balance of mana changed again so that obligations were kept current. Gift exchanges were thus repeated time and again until the parties were so close and accepting of one another, that each could rely on the other to be generous in times of local privation, and to expect no immediate response.[217] Failure to respond at all could result in reprisal.
Some gift exchanges were more ceremonial but the principle of utu still applied. Gifts at marriage and funeral ceremonies also had to be reciprocated. For instance on somebody s death their relatives would come to kawe nga mate and give the kirimate[218] taonga such as garments or greenstone. This process was then reversed and the taonga returned when someone belonging to the donor group died. Hence during a period of generations, taonga passed many times between related people. Further, their whereabouts, the circumstances of their transference, and the obligations still outstanding from them were kept in mind by the kaumatua of the tribe and the information passed down from generation to generation.[219]
An equivalent return was also required in the case of services. Services were usually provided by tohunga. They did not expect to be paid because of the tapu involved with their work and because they wanted to provide the best work they could. It was left to the receiver to put a value on the work and decide the most appropriate utu for the services.
Various mechanisms ensured reciprocity followed. Failure to deliver soon acquired notoriety and could result in exclusion from future deals and the loss of desired goods and services. Makutu[220] was also an influential tool in traditional Maori society because the hau of the kawai tipuna that accompanied each gift assured its return for fear of supernatural punishment, which was accomplished through the medium of the hau or the vital essence of the kawai tipuna.[221]
"If the hara was unintentional, it could affect the recompense or utu in that the utu could occur in the form of supernatural retaliation. I guess the custom there would be makutu. We don t want to put makutu down, but that would be the supernatural where thoughts would be conveyed and if a person had committed a slight or an offence that wasn t too bad, well that person could become suddenly ill. That occurred sometimes, not all the time, but it was that unseen power that was the utu..."[222]
Utu as a Result of Hostility
Na tetehi te tihe, na tetehi te tokomauri
If one person begins a quarrel, his enemy will retaliate.[223]
On another level utu required compensation if social relations were disturbed. Hostile relationships between parties could be created through insults or physical, mental or emotional injury.
"A basic philosophy of ours was blood spilt had to be avenged. It was always between generations. Even if it was two or three generations later it had to be avenged. All the waiata and the haka would remind you that you had not yet done your thing so that the seeing generations had no way of being able to say, well that happened when grandpa was alive not in my time so I m not responsible . Responsibility went from generation to generation..."[224]
War was waged to obtain utu (compensation), but the war always had to have a legitimate take.[225] Some of the take included breach of tapu, puremu, revenge against other hapu or iwi for past defeats or encroachment on territory, murder, or harsh treatment of a wife by her husband if they were of different hapu.
"Puremu, when it occurred between a woman and man of different tribes was looked upon as very serious and an insult to the innocent party Redress was sought by the injured hapu sending a taua party to confront the whanau and hapu of the woman who had transgressed her marriage. Reparation was made in the form of a prized taonga such as greenstone items and this was accepted by both parties as a just resolution to the dispute..."[226]
It was not always the case that women or their kin group were punished for puremu.[227] There were occasions were the male would be punished. One incident involved a brother following his sister and her lover into the bush and killing the lover. She was forced to participate in the punishment of her lover as punishment for her indiscretion. There were also occasions where neither party to the puremu were punished as in the well known story of Kahungunu and Rongomaiwahine.
Utu through the mechanism of war regulated tribal relationships where territory and rights over the reproductive power of women were concerned. The whakatauki, "He wahine, he whenua i mate ai te tangata -women and land are the reasons why men perish" [228] emphasises that women and land were some of the major take for war. "Women, so you could guarantee progeny, and land, so that you could have mana at the turangawaewae."[229]
Enemies provoked utu and gained mana from insulting, misusing or abusing the tapu of those they were fighting.[230] Enemies kept a detailed reckoning of past insults and injuries and hostile relationships were marked by escalation, similar to the exchange relationships. Exchange relationships required that feasts increase in grandeur as they developed over time; similarly, it was expected that reciprocal acts of vengeance intensify. Each utu ideally eclipsed in degree of violence the affront that provoked it, and as a feud increased it engulfed an ever-widening circle of people.[231]
Hostile relationships did not have to endure indefinitely however. Often a tribe would offer their puhi to another tribe to secure the conclusion of hostile relationships.
"[The puhi] was the tribal pawn the political pawn but she guaranteed that warfare would probably never recur because she, becoming the wife of the opposing faction would resolve that dispute between those two factions. . ."[232]
A marriage exchange of high-born members of tribes was seen as marking a peace settlement and as ensuring its permanence, as it brought the disputants together in close kinship bonds. This is reflected in the whakatauki: He whakahou rongo wahine he tatau pounamu Peace brought about by women is an enduring one.[233]
Hostile relationships could also be converted to friendly ones through gift exchange, entertainment, peace-making feasts, or the cession of land.[234]
The general principles that underlie utu are the obligations that exist between individuals and groups. Utu is concerned with the maintenance of balance and harmony within society, whether it is manifested through gift exchange, or as a result of hostilities between groups. The aim of utu is to return the affected parties to their prior position.
Utu is exercised in varying circumstances and to certain degrees. How and when utu was sought or received would depend on the actions that necessitated it. A strict system of obligation applied in an utu situation especially when the mana of an individual or group rested on the utu being sought or offered. Failure on the part of one party to give or receive utu required the other party to seek utu against the failing party. Mana required that the response to an action be somewhat in excess of equivalence.
The relationships between groups changed depending on the utu sought or given, when it was sought or given and how it was sought or given. The manifestation of utu through gift exchange established and maintained social bonds and obligations. However, if social relations were disturbed, utu would be a means of restoring balance.

OK, simplifying the notation a bit in the same way as we did for Daplex, would you say that the following translation is correct ?
for $x in ( for $y in (1,2,3) return $y+$y) return $x*$x => map(\x->x*x , map(\x-> x+x, [1,2,3]))
If the answer is yes, then the 'return' is just a lambda expression, right ?
If so, then I retract my previous statemnt that 'return' in XQuery is
equivalent to 'print' in Daplex. Just out of sheer curiosity, why then use
the word 'return at all ?
Why not just 'for $x in (1,2,3) $x+$x since the lambda can be deduced/or understood as present anyway ?

Webinar: Getting Your Board to Raise MoneyBy Nell Edgington
Ah, the nonprofit board of directors. That much disparaged group of volunteers who must often be begged, cajoled, or guilted into raising money for the nonprofit they serve.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
If you can recruit the right people, get very specific about the skills they bring, and work with them to put their assets to use for your nonprofit, you can get even the most fundraising-shy board member to start bringing money in the door.
The How to Build a Fundraising Board webinar will show you how to:
- Excite and engage the board in bringing money in the door
- Put every single board member to their highest and best use
- Set up a structure for effective board involvement in raising money
- Give you creative jobs for fundraising-shy board members
- Set up systems for tracking and rewarding board involvement
- Overcome board fear and inertia
This is one of our most popular webinars, and each time I've offered it, it sells out. Here's what some past participants in this webinar had to say:
"This was one of the best and most helpful and informative webinars I've been on. It was exactly what I was looking for in terms of beginning to get our board energized and on track and I will use the slides
to help me prepare for our upcoming board retreat."
"The webinar was very concrete and actionable – gave specific suggestions regarding
engaging board members. This was very useful. Well done."
"This really opened my eyes to new possibilities – thank you so much!"
How to Build a Fundraising Board Webinar
The fee will get you:
- A link to a recording of the webinar, which you can watch as many times as you like
- The PowerPoint slides from the webinar
- The ability to ask additional follow-up questions after the webinar

Music Lyrics
Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
3 Doors Down
When I'm Gone
There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There's secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...
Maybe I'm just blind...
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
[end chorus]
Love me when I'm gone...
When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone
Maybe I'm just blind...
Love me when I'm gone...
Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone

Thank you tommy, for your valuable input, I can now go and buy one, many thanks

cornishmike replied to dinnertimedave's topic in Ford Focus ClubI would agree with what most members are saying, I would say you have water/damp in around the plugs and ht leads, clean everything out and dry, then spray some multi purpose silicone spray on plugs, in around the HT Leads, and then all over leads and coil etc, works a treat and I have not had any problems since, good luck.. you can get a can of multi purpose silicone spray from Maplin at only £6.49. the product code is RE81C

Michael Meyer, Adolph S. Ochs Professor of Jewish History Emeritus at Hebrew Union College, will survey the history of German-speaking Jews and the Leo Baeck Institute's efforts to document it in celebration of LBI's 60th year.
Dr. Josef Joffe will deliver the 57th annual Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at the Center for Jewish History, where he will be introduced by Dr. Henry Kissinger. Following the Lecture, Dr. Ronald B. Sobel, President of LBI, will present Dr. Joffe with the Leo Baeck Medal.
Join us in honoring Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat, who will accept the Leo Baeck Medal and deliver the 56th Annual Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture during a special evening at the Center for Jewish History in New York City.
Michael Brenner, of the University of Munich discussed research from his new book "Prophets of the Past." "Prophets" is the first book to examine in depth how modern Jewish historians have interpreted Jewish history. Brenner reveals that perhaps no other group has used their shared history for so many different ideological and political purposes as the Jews.
Professor Jonathan Steinberg is the author of the highly acclaimed new book Bismarck: A Life. Steinberg describes the political genius of the man who dominated his era. Bismarck's belief in Prussia's cohesion and authority, and in a nationalism that could be put to good use, ultimately led to Germany's tragic 20th century.

Born on May 18, 1992 in New York City, NY, Breslin started acting at the early age of three after he was discovered by a talent agent at a playground who asked his mother's permission for him to star in a commercial. His mom, Kim Breslin, who later became his personal manager, immediately agreed, and Breslin began appearing in television ads for McDonald's and Life cereal. A mere two years later, at age 5, Breslin made his first appearance on TV as a series regular in "Soul Man" (ABC, 1996-98). Breslin played Fred Weber, the son of widower Mike Weber (Dan Aykroyd), an unconventional reverend forced to deal with raising four children on his own.

Recent paintings
por Michael Joseph Publishing
The current paintings in this series were completed in 2009 and 2010 and are a continuation of a 60 year-old journey. Waxman was especially influenced during the years by three artists. His teacher, Fernand Leger, encouraged the development of powerful art and abstracted drawing. From Henri Matisse, Waxman embraced delicious sensuousness, stunningcolor and strong softness. He took texture, multi-dimentional emotion and assertive composition from his other hero; George Rouault.

Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq effects in Rayleigh-Benard convection
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
AbstractThe problem of Rayleigh-Benard convection is commonly analyzed within the so-called Oberbeck-Boussinesq (OB) approximation, in which the fluid properties are assumed to be temperature independent, apart from the density for which a linear temperature dependence is assumed. Under normal conditions, i.e., small temperature differences between the bottom and top plate, this approximation is rather good. However, in order to achieve ever larger Rayleigh numbers for given cell height and fluid properties the temperature difference is quite frequently increased to such an extent that the OB approximation has to be expected to fail. Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects on the mean center cell temperature, the Nusselt number Nu, and the Reynolds number Re then have to be expected at the largest Rayleigh numbers. We report on our recent experimental, theoretical, and numerical results on these NOB corrections. For water and glycerol they are governed by the temperature dependences of the kinematic viscosity and the thermal diffusion coefficient: With increasing NOBness, for water and glycerol Nu goes down and the center temperature goes up, whereas for ethane gas in general Nu goes up and the center temperature goes down. However, for ethane close to the critical point the main origin of NOB corrections lies in the strong temperature dependence of the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient, namely in the nonlinear temperature dependence of the density, leading to NOB corrections which presently cannot be described by our extended Prandtl-Blasius boundary layer theory.

Jersey Shore
JWOWW, Sammi Sweetheart, and The Situation Hacked — Whose Phone Numbers Were Leaked?
Have you ever just wanted to call up your favorite Jersey Shore star? Well, for a brief time this weekend, it looked like that might actually be possible.
The main victim of the hack was JWOWW, with the hacker (or hackers) changing JWOWW's Twitter avatar to an image of a swastika, and her bio to, "Jersey Shore sluts getting ran daily. You can mark Sammi and JWOWW off the list."
The person or people responsible also tweeted to her nearly 3.4 million followers, "Sammi now JWOWW? #2ez."
Snooki took to Twitter to defend her friend, "FYI my boo @JENNIWOWW got hacked. So if they tweet vulgar things (even tho jenni would do that) it's not her. #creeps." The Situation also tweeted that it was true he was hacked, saying, "Yea was hacked ; we got a situation; but still my bday ! Thank u to everyone ; happy 4th of July."
In another tweet, it looked like cell phone numbers for much of the Jersey Shore cast had gotten leaked, but apparently those were fake, per JWOWW's fiancé Roger Mathews. He tweeted, "Jennis page got hacked. Some winner posting fake #'s and shit. Some nerd with a laptop in his moms basement needs a friend."
JWOWW even posted a photo to her Instagram page with her flipping the camera off. She left this threatening caption, directed at whomever hacked her and her Jersey Shore BFFs: "To the bitch who hacked my twitter and whatever else im coming for u... Low life piece of s*** garbage f*** who has nothing better to do... Come for me bitch..."
Whoever did the hacking, it looks like you better leave JWOWW alone — she will hurt you.
What do you think about this mass hacking? Scary or funny? Sound off in the comments!

Looks like the USAF may be working a deal with the USCG for their C-27Js. It would definitely be interesting seeing a mixed USCG fleet. However if this does go through, it looks like the rumor of transferring the C-27Js to the Army or individual NG units is over.

Samsung's Galaxy S 5 is seemingly going to be announced next month. Eldar Murtazin, the man who correctly claimed the Galaxy S 4's announcement date last year, says that Samsung will be holding a "pre MWC" launch on February 23 in Barcelona. He even gave the exact time — 18:00 local time. As for the price, he says it will remain exactly the same as the GS4. And the release date will be sometime in April.
Murtazin includes "new touchwiz" and specifications that he claims we know already. The new Touchwiz likely packs the previously leaked home screen and Google Now-like service. Murtazin adds that "Galaxy S5 software is a next step in touchwiz evolution." For consumers that stayed away from Samsung due to Touchwiz, this could be bring them in.
When one follower on Twitter asked if Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 would be packed inside with a 2K display, Murtazin responded with multiple smiley faces, saying "or" with another smiley face. So yes, the Galaxy S 5 is coming sooner than we think.
Hit the break for the full set of tweets from Eldar Murtazin. Read more

Traditionally, April is a month where I find myself again, make new connections away from home, and stay away from social media (at least from blogging, Twitter and Facebook). With my jobs right now, I wonder if I could be as carefree as I was in the past. I guess that's part of the package working in Asia. You gain some but lose some.
I woke up in a bad mood. I blame myself for making a decision that I regretted and it's my fault. I will try to make it right with the rest of the time. My twin brother said 2013 is the year for us. If there's ever anything we want to do, we have around 300 days to make it work for us. It's funny he said that to me a few days ago. As soon as I stepped into the new year, things have taken a turn for me and I could feel the vibe. Being an agnostic, all I could tell you is human beings aren't intelligent enough to explain everything in the universe yet. I don't need to get to the bottom of everything but I will ride on this streak of luck for sure.
So I want to say that this may well be my last blog post for April. I hope to be able to share some exciting news with you when a new Angie returns in May.

The holidays mean visitors for some Montanans, but one Whitefish family says they had an unwanted one the day after Christmas. The Rays have the photos to prove it: a hundred-pound mountain lion staring at them through their back door, just a foot and a bit of glass separating them.
"My sister and law looked out the back of our house and said 'Wow look at that,'" said Linda Ray.
Linda's husband R.T. called 911, and as the police made their way toward their house, the family started snapping photos.
"It was scary," said R.T. Ray. "I mean, we walk these streets at night."
The Rays live just north of downtown Whitefish, in an area popular for walking and jogging.
"My 90-year old mother and sister and brother-in-law and his sister were just leaving out our front door and our little girl, 23, was coming home and we didn't know where that cat was and when she got home, out of her jeep, I yelled at her to get back in her jeep," said R.T. Ray.
R.T. says he was thinking about shooting the cat himself, but didn't know if he was allowed. It turns out, he would have been. Montana law says folks can shoot mountain lions if they feel threatened on their property. It's not an animal that gets trapped and relocated.
"That cat would have got in trouble, I mean, it would have hurt something," said R.T. Ray. "Maybe just a dog, maybe a little kid. They don't need to be in our city."
Mountain lions typically travel at night, but there it was, looking at them in board daylight. Linda says she hates to see the animal die, but she agreed it was a threat, and not the kind of holiday visitor she was looking for.
A Whitefish Police officer was ultimately able to track the animal down, and killed it with one shot to the neck in a nearby neighborhood. Whitefish Police Chief Bill Dial says the animal was a female, and around two or three years old.

IVR Junction is a system that drastically simplifies the process of setting up an IVR system. IVR Junction leverages existing cloud-based services to provide free online content moderation, free hosting of audio recordings for dissemination to a global audience, and a novel mechanism to automatically synchronize audio recordings across geographically-dispersed offices, thereby enabling local access points with decreased calling costs (subject to local telecom rules).
New home is at www.ivrjunction.org
Most of the world's 3.6 billion mobile subscribers live in the developing world, and they use their phones primarily for voice calls. As researchers seek to enable this population to access, report, and share information using the phone, the HCI and ICT4D communities have witnessed a surge of interest in Interactive Voice Forums. Voice forums are build using IVR technology and enable callers to leave messages that can be heard over the Internet and over the phone. For example, CGNet Swara is a voice forum for citizen news journalism. Using CGNet Swara system, callers can report news, issues etc. in local language using a phone. The submitted news recordings are reviewed by moderators over the Web. Recordings which are approved by moderator are published on the web for Internet audience. Also, published recordings are also available for playback for the phone-based users of CGNet Swara.
Recent voice forums have spanned diverse domains, including citizen news journalism, agricultural discussion forums, community dialogue, user-generated maps, access to health information, outreach to sex workers, group messaging, feedback on school meals, support for community radio stations, and a viral entertainment platform. Due to the success of these projects, there are numerous researchers, companies, and non-profit organizations that are actively seeking to establish their own phone-based voice applications in new domains.
However, despite the enthusiasm surrounding IVR systems, the unfortunate reality is that it remains quite complex to install and configure interactive voice forums. Systems that offer this functionality requires expertise that is usually beyond the reach of non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). A second challenge that researchers and practitioners are facing in the IVR domain is how to scale their voice applications beyond the pilot stage. Though pilot deployments have shown that IVR applications are creating envisioned impact, their subsequent reach is often limited due to challenges in moderating content and managing operating costs at scale.
Solution: IVR Junction
IVR Junction is a new system that combines other free and commercial tools into an integrated platform for building scalable voice forums. IVR Junction uses existing cloud-based services to provide free online content moderation, free hosting of audio recordings for dissemination to a global audience, and a novel mechanism to automatically synchronize audio recordings across geographically-dispersed offices, thereby enabling local access points with decreased calling costs. It simplifies the creation of voice forums, by leveraging a Windows-based installer for each client machine and familiar Internet services for hosting and moderation.
How IVR Junction works
An organization needs the following components to set up their voice forum:
Windows laptop or desktop
GSM or Fixed line modem
Matrix SETU ATA211G (GSM modem) or Matrix SETU ATA211 (Fixed line modem). This is the hardware to integrate telephony network with VoIP. Matrix has excellent customer support and is highly recommended! You can email Vinit (firstname.lastname@example.com) to order modems
SIP and VoiceXML interpreter software
Voxeo Prophecy 11
Free for 2 ports (for evaluation purposes). Requires a quote for production purposes
IVR Junction
Utilizes free Microsoft components like IIS Express, MS SQL Server Express, .NET framework 4 etc.
Voice forum application code
Coded in VoiceXML (free modifiable templates would be released soon)
YouTube account
Online content moderation channel
Web hosting of audio recordings
SkyDrive or Dropbox account
Synchronize audio recordings of distributed "geographically-dispersed" branches
Facebook page
For dissemination of voice content over the Internet
Assume you want to setup a simple voice forum which enables users to record a message and listen to message recorded by others. The UI would look something like this:
Hello, Welcome to the Citizen News Journalism service.
Press 1 to record a message.
Press 2 to listen to message recorded by others.
Here is the call flow:
A voice forum caller calls the voice forum number to record a message.
GSM modem converts the voice traffic into IP packets and connects the caller to the voice forum application which is coded using VoiceXML standards. The caller records the message using the application. The user presses 1 to record a message.
IVR Junction code converts the audio file into a video and uploads the video corresponding to recorded message on the configured YouTube channel to get approval from moderator.
YouTube moderator sign-in on the YouTube channel to see if there are new recordings which awaits his approval. YouTube moderator approves or rejects a recorded message on the basis of the content or quality or both. YouTube moderator also decides to push approved recordings on configured Facebook page of the voice forum.
If the moderator rejects a message then nothing happens. If the moderator approves a recording the following steps execute in parallel:
IVR Junction code uploads the audio file corresponding to the approved YouTube video on the configured Dropbox folder.
If approved by moderator, the corresponding video is posted on the Facebook page of the voice forum.
The content is available for consumption by the Internet audience on the Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Other users of voice forum are able to listen to the message posted by the user when they call the number and press 2.
Distributed and Scalable
Some NGOs have geographically distributed branches. Even if these branches are in different regions, it may be desirable for them to share a single audio repository, as users (such as farmers) often speak the same local language, share similar local constraints and geographical features, and have comparable standards of living. However, sharing content via a single server can be expensive, because some users may need to dial a long-distance number if they are located in a different state or calling area. This expense could discourage people from using the service. IVR Junction overcomes this problem by utilizing distributed servers which can be set up in each calling area. If desired, local audio contributions from each region are automatically synchronized with an audio repository in the cloud, thereby facilitating increased knowledge sharing. IVR Junction utilizes distributed architecture to reduce the call cost and thus is scalable. In addition, IVR Junction also supports multiple parallel lines.
Power Applications
Although IVR Junction enables researchers and practitioners to set up any voice forum, it is particularly useful:
If you want to setup a voice forum in a country which has long distance calling rates for different regions (say you want to set up a voice forum in India where users are distributed in three geographically dispersed regions i.e. in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Karnataka), IVR Junction would enable
Users to make calls to the voice forum at local call rates and yet enable them to connect to users in other calling regions.
Phone broadcasting system to utilize distributed architecture to make outgoing calls at lower call rates.
If you want to set up a voice forum where users are located in different countries (say in India, US and Egypt) and you want them to interact with each other by dialing a local phone number.
What kind of voice forums can be build using IVR Junction
IVR Junction can be used to set up voice forums like
We plan to release IVR Junction in Summer 2013

Comics Are Great! 47 – The Voice
We're joined by a very special guest on this episode to help us find a new angle to come at the topic of writing characters! Neil Kaplan (Digimon, Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Power Rangers) joins us for a discussion on writing characters from the standpoint of a voice actor. How do you find that unique turn of phrase or affectation to make a character's inner life show? What considerations might a cartoonist keep in mind when building a character from the ground up?
It's a fun and lively discussion with Neil and Paul Storrie, followed by some more comics recommendations with Sharon Iverson of the Ann Arbor District Library. Sharon also drops the news about the new comics website at AADL, where you can subscribe to the video episodes of this show!

Leftward, march
Treatment of Lieberman shows Democrats' direction
Sen. Joe Lieberman is planning an independent run for the Senate if the former vice presidential candidate is defeated by anti-war activist Ned Lamont in the Connecticut Democratic primary next month-and Hillary Clinton's announcement that she will not support an independent Lieberman candidacy tells us many things.
It tells us that Clinton is fundamentally unserious about the war. Lamont is running on a policy of retreat; Lieberman is a committed proponent of victory. To abandon Lieberman is to put politics ahead of victory.
It also tells us that Clinton is very afraid of her party's new "netroots," the hard left activists gathered around blogs such as The Daily Kos, which launched and power Lamont's anti-war candidacy. These folks at the fringe of the Democratic Party are pushing the purge of Lieberman. The refusal of people like Clinton to stand against them signals that the party of FDR, Truman, and JFK is passing away.
Joe Lieberman is an honorable man, one of the most far-seeing of the Democrats. He was enormously popular as part of the Gore ticket in 2000. That he could not attract much support in his presidential campaign in 2004 showed us the leftward drift of his party.
That he drew an anti-war opponent in his primary showed us that the radical wing of his party is not content to take on Republicans, but wants ideological purity as well. And that he is not receiving unconditional support from his colleagues-led by Clinton-signals that the party's headlong march hard left is accelerating.
