"The Thieves" May Steal Box Office Record
Will the runaway success of "The Thieves" represent a new high-water mark for South Korea's film industry?
The heist movie about 10 crooks dreaming of a perfect caper has attracted more than 10 million moviegoers since opening on July 25, amassing 73 billion won ($64 million) at the box office. Only five other Korean movies have reached that audience landmark. And it took only 22 days to get there, close to the record of 21 days set by "The Host," a 2006 thriller.
Now the question is whether the film can break the record of James Cameron's "Avatar," the most watched film of all time in Korea with 13.3 million in receipts.
Set in Macau and Hong Kong, "The Thieves" is a thriller with action, comedy and romance all thrown in. Featuring a cast of Asian superstars and a plot that's similar to Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's" trilogy, the film tells the tale of 10 very distinctive thieves with different skills who team up to steal a huge diamond hidden inside a casino in Macau. But it's not just a Korean version of one of the "Ocean's" movies. In "The Thieves," the story continues after the diamond is stolen. All the characters have different reasons to be part of the team and face different fates at the end.
"Stealing is a very old job. Thieves have existed from the moment people started accumulating fortunes. Some steal money, others steals peoples' hearts, and others even try to steal the world. The movie is about all those thieves," said director Choi Dong-hoon.
"The Thieves" has become the latest example of the popularity of home-grown movies in South Korea.
According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the first half of this year saw a record number of moviegoers. A total of 83 million people went to watch films on the big screen, up 21% from 14 million in the same period last year. Korean movies did particularly well, with 44 million attending local flicks, up 34.6% from a year ago. Seven out of the ten most-watched movies in the first half of the year were Korean, although the most popular was U.S. movie "The Avengers."
The ministry attributed the growth largely to the fact that older people who normally eschew busy cinemas headed out to watch movies that were targeted at them.
The surge in moviegoing is great news for the local industry, which was up in arms back in 2006 over a decision to lower the mandatory screening days for Korean movies to 73 days a year from 143. Some movie directors and actors shaved their heads in protest against the measure, which some claimed would be the death knell for Korean film-making.
Perhaps now it's time to start thinking about taking away the artificial support for South Korean movies altogether.

Breaking Down Buddy-Cop Clichés with 'The Other Guys'
By Rossiter Drake on August 05, 2010 3:00 PM
Never mind the barely functional story line that provides a flimsy backdrop for Will Ferrell's improvised riffs and Mark Wahlberg's empty-headed rants in The Other Guys, the latest collaboration from Ferrell and Adam McKay.
Since teaming up after coinciding runs on Saturday Night Live – Ferrell as the show's most charismatic star, McKay as its head writer – they have lampooned TV talking heads in 2004's Anchorman and asinine adrenaline junkies in 2006's Talladega Nights. Here, they target buddy-cop clichés, among them two rock-star detectives straight out of Michael Bay's playbook.

Exeter Unified School District is born
The Exeter Unified School District was born last week and has already taken its first steps toward becoming its own entity.
Newly elected members of the new district unifying the Exeter Union (Elementary) School District and the Exeter Union High School District held their first meeting on Dec. 12 at the Crespi Center Board Room. Exeter Public Schools Superintendent Tim Hire swore in six members of the seven-member board comprised of current EUSD incumbents Dewayne Faulkner (Area 1), Dean Sutton (Area 2) and Mark Hellwig (Area 3) and EUHSD incumbents Ray Stable (Area 6) and Larry Larson (Area 7) were all unopposed in the unification election. The only newcomer to the unified board of trustees was Virginia Padilla (Area 5), who defeated incumbent and write-in candidate Jack Elam 65% to 35%. Even Padilla is not really a newcomer having served on the Exeter Union High School District board from 1996-2000.
The seventh member was not absent or even unavailable, he/she was simply unknown. Because there were no candidates who filed nomination papers for the Trustee Area 4 nor any qualified write-in candidates there is still a vacancy on Exeter's new unified board. Superintendent Hire explained the board must fill the vacancy with someone living within the district by Feb. 8. If the board fails to appoint someone, the Tulare County Superintendent of Schools will call a special election. On the seven member board, only four board members must be present to have a quorum.
"If the election fails, I believe we will move forward with six board members," Hire said.
Trustee Area 4 encompasses a portion of downtown, new developments north of Visalia Road and the southside of Marinette/Walnut Avenue from Filbert Road to Anderson Road. Anyone living in the area who is interested in applying for the vacant seat should contact the Exeter Unified School District Office at 559-592-9421.
In order to stagger elections and to hold elections on even numbered years for greater voter turnout, four board members were selected to serve six-year terms while three were selected to serve the typical four-year terms just for the first election cycle. Faulkner, Hellwig and Larson will serve four-year terms through 2016 while Sutton, Padilla, Strable and the Area 4 seat will serve six-year terms through 2018.
Sutton was elected President of the new unified board, while Hellwig was elected vice president and Strable as clerk. Once the officers were elected, the board voted to name the new district the Exeter Unified School District. The board then voted to meet at 5 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at the Board Room, located at 215 N. Crespi Ave. in Exeter. Closed session will precede the meeting at 4 p.m.
During a brief recess, President Dean Sutton cut the first piece of a cake with the phrase "Third time's the charm" commemorating Exeter's most recent attempt and first successful attempt at passing unification measure on the ballot.
Measure G, the proposed formation of a new unified school district in Exeter, passed with more than 70% of the vote on election night. The new district is estimated to net an additional $1 million in per pupil funding through the unification process.
It was the third shot at passing a unification measure in Exeter. When the issue first arose in 1995, unification received mixed reviews from both school boards and the public. Both boards approved the unification in early 1995, but by mid-year the elementary board rescinded its support.
Both boards ultimately approved a resolution for unification in 1996 which included a seven-member board and, even though Outside Creek and Sequoia Union fell within the borders of the unified district, both feeder districts would retain their school boards. When it finally went to vote on Nov. 5, 1995, nearly two-thirds of voters (64.2%) in Exeter, Lemon Cove and Outside Creek voted against unification. Unification was brought up again in 2003, but a report of School Services of California calculated that it would only result in a net gain of $125,000 per year at that time.

Mezzo Soprano Kindra Scharich has been praised by The San Francisco Chronicle for her, "noble, vocally assured singing, with stately grace and deep-rooted pathos." A versatile musician, she has sung over 25 roles in the lyric mezzo repertoire, and is equally at home on the operatic or concert stage.
A dedicated recitalist, Ms. Scharich has presented recitals for the American Composer's Forum in Los Angeles, Lieder Alive, the Wagner Society Northern California Chapter, and the Yehudi Menuhin Seminar in San Francisco. A great proponent of German Lieder, she and San Diego pianist George Fee have developed numerous programs under the heading "Life in Lieder" , designed to educate and edify the public by means of this magnificent and under-represented genre. Their current season includes multiple concerts throughout northern and southern California.
Enthusiastic about working with living composers, in the spring of 2014 she premiered a new trio by composer Kurt Erickson and is currently collaborating with composer Janis Mattox on her Spanish chamber opera Sueños de Medianoche (Midnight Dreams).

Starting Saturday, the blinding whiteness of the Bonneville Salt Flats will transform into the most revered home of high speed in the world. And we'll be there.
Bonneville is the Valhalla of speed. People have been chasing its horizon for almost a hundred years now and it's mystique has not diminished. The remains of a once massive lake which still undergoes a yearly cycle of flooding and drying, the salt flats at Bonneville are used twice yearly as a place for anyone with the courage to press the envelope of performance. For a week in August, volunteers from the Southern California Timing Association host Speed Week. They prepare the salt, select the runs and lay out the famous black lines, the only thing guiding drivers down the straight and narrow.
From Saturday through Tuesday, we'll be camping out on the flats, trekking across the salt, poking around the pits, standing in awe of the chariots of speed and taking in one of the greatest spectacles in the auto world. We can't promise regular updates, but we'll be bringing you as much as we can.

Taylor Swift has reportedly purchased duplex penthouses worth $20 million in New York City.
The "Love Story" hitmaker is allegedly the mystery buyer of two luxury units in the Big Apple's TriBeCa district, properties that were previously owned by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.
He listed the adjacent duplex penthouses, which cover the top two floors of a boutique building, in November for $19,950,000.
PHOTOS: 24 pictures of Taylor Swift on her 24th birthday
In January, rumors swirled that Swift was scoping out apartments in Manhattan, and last month, the TriBeCa lofts were sold for an unspecified price to an unknown buyer.
When combined, the massive penthouses boast seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and wrap-around terraces.
Swift also has properties in Nashville, Tennessee, Beverly Hills and California, and a beachfront mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

INDIANAPOLIS - An RBI double by junior Kayla Gray and a two-run double by senior Jessica Huey lifted the Butler softball team to a 4-0 win over Loyola on Sunday. The win allowed Butler to take two of three against the Ramblers.
Junior Jenny Esparza and senior Breanna Fisher combined on the shutout. Esparza gave up two hits and struck out five over 4.0 innings for the win. Fisher worked 3.0 innings for the save.
A couple of walks and an error in the bottom of the 1st allowed BU to take a 1-0 lead. Senior Mallory Winters walked with the bases loaded to get the Dawgs on the board.
Butler took a 2-0 lead when Gray smacked a double to left-center in the 4th inning that drove in sophmore Krista Hakola.
In the next inning, Huey hit a shot to center that just alluded Loyola centerfielder Brooke Andresen. The ball rolled to the fence and scored two runs to give BU a 4-0 lead.

Rain is falling down inside my head
The pain is always there to stop the sun
From shining in
And the world feels heavy
Oh I can feel my eyes have kept the pain
From a world that is empty again
And I feel my life is at the end of a road
That has ended again
Stay and watch the waves wash over me
The wait is almost over and I'm flying
I'm flying
I'm dying so sweetly
And I can see my eyes have kept the pain
From a world that is empty again
The road has ended again

The U.S. Civil Rights Commission is considering holding public hearings to investigate the disputed Black Panthers voter intimidation case, Main Justice has learned.
A plan circulated last month by the commission envisions possibly one hearing in Philadelphia, where members of the militant New Black Panther Party were accused of intimidating voters by standing outside a polling place last November in quasi-military garb, one of them holding a night stick, according to a document reviewed by Main Justice.
Another hearing is tentatively slated in Washington early next year, and would seek to call current and former Justice Department officials to testify.
The hearings would keep in the public eye a controversial and racially tinged case that has already been a significant distraction for the new Obama Justice Department.
"More oversight is a good thing," independent Commissioner Todd Gaziano, an official with the conservative Heritage Foundation, said in an interview.
But Francisco-based Michael Yaki, one of two Democrats on the Civil Rights Commission, criticized the continued spotlight on the case. "This is basically going to be a partisan kangaroo court, convened by my partisan colleagues," Yaki said.
Conservatives have objected to the Obama DOJ's decision in May to dismiss the case against the New Black Panther Party and two of its members, and the controversy contributed to a delay in confirming President Obama's choice to head the Civil Rights Division, Tom Perez.
The case was filed in January, in the waning days of the Bush administration. But after the Black Panthers failed to contest the allegations, then-acting Civil Rights Division chief Loretta King reviewed the matter. She found the evidence weak and recommended dropping the charges, DOJ officials have said. There were First Amendment concerns about pursuing a lawsuit against the men based in part on their dress, and one of the accused Black Panthers — Jerry Jackson — was a certified Democratic poll watcher, DOJ officials have said.
The Justice Department did obtain an injunction against defendant, Minister King Samir Shabazz, who held the night stick outside the majority-black polling station in Philadelphia.
In September the commission — composed of four Republicans, two independents with conservative affiliations, and two Democrats — reviewed plans for an investigation and hearings.
The plan includes gathering depositions or other information from Bartle Bull, a 1960s-era civil rights lawyer who said in an interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly that he heard one of the Black Panthers say, "Now you'll see what it is like to be ruled by a black man, cracker;" poll watchers Larry and Angela Counts and Chris Hill; the independent journalist working for the local Republican Party, Stephen R. Morse, who videotaped the Black Panthers in what became a YouTube hit; and the local police officers who responded to calls on election day from white Republican poll watchers concerned about the Black Panthers' presence.
The panel would also seek to interview the defendants in the case, including Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the Washington, D.C.-based Black Panthers. The voice mail at the New Black Panther Party headquarters is full, and no one has answered the phone in repeated attempts to contact the organization.
The commission might also seek depositions from other current DOJ officials, including Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, the department's No. 3 official who signed off on King's recommendation to dismiss the suit; King; Diana K. Flynn, chief of the civil Appellate Section; and Christopher Coats, Voting Rights Section chief.
The envisioned hearings in Washington would also likely pit Bush-era Civil Rights Division officials, who have been accused of politicizing the division, against Obama DOJ officials working under the first black Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has said he wants to return the division to its "historic mission" of enforcing anti-discrimination laws to protect minorities.
Commission Chairman Gerald Reynolds did not respond to requests for comment placed through commission spokeswoman Lenore Ostrowsky.
The case also has many racial overtones. The Southern Poverty Law Center has classified the New Black Panther Party (which is not affiliated with the 1960s-era Black Panthers founded by Huey Newton) as a hate group for its anti-white rhetoric. And King, the career civil rights division lawyer who recommended dismissing the charges, is black. But most of the accusers are white, and the case was signed off on by then-acting Civil Rights Division chief Grace Chung Becker, who failed to win Senate confirmation after Democrats questioned her commitment to enforcing discrimination laws on behalf of minorities.
Moreover, Bartle Bull's charge that one of the Black Panthers used a racial slur against whites while invoking the impending election of Barack Obama — the nation's first black president — has been further grist for the mill, mostly among conservative commentators.
We are seeking comment from the Justice Department and will update this report if we receive a response. In the past, DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has said: "We are committed to vigorous enforcement of the laws protecting anyone exercising his or her right to vote."
Below is the You Tube video of police arriving at the Philadelphia polling station last November:

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (KTHV) - A masked man approached a teen, demanding her to take off her clothes. Police said it happened in Russellville Wednesday just before 4 p.m. They called it a scary situation that could have been a lot worse if not for complete strangers stepping in to help.
"She dropped her bag and turned and ran, and that is when I took action and just took after him and chased him off just to get the two separated from each other," explained a Russellville man who did not want to be identified.
He witnessed the unthinkable right outside his home-a masked man, approaching a 14-year-old girl walking along the D&R railroad tracks.
"It's a situation where we don't know what would have happened if the witnesses didn't get involved," said Officer Drew Latch with Russellville Police.
Officer Latch said the masked man turned out to be 22-year-old Travis Spearman, and when witnesses watched him approach the teen, they stepped in.
"He had instructed her to take off her clothes, which she then took off running. At that time, we had several Samaritans that were in the area that were witnesses at the beginning who then got involved," said Officer Latch.
"The guy was showing some odd behavior, and I kept an eye on him because I knew he didn't belong in our area," said the witness.
The witness, along with several others, chased Spearman away but pointed his truck out to police. Officers tracked him down and after lengthy questioning, arrested him. He's being held at Pope County Jail and was charged with attempted rape and filing a false police report for claiming someone stole his truck. It's an outcome authorities said would have been a lot worse if not for a few good men.
"That's what we do. We take care of each other. You look out for one another's kids. If it was my daughter, I would have prayed that someone had been looking out for her," said the witness.
Spearmen is expected in court Friday where a judge will set his bond. Officer Latch said the girl did exactly what she should have, yelled for help and ran. He urged parents to be extra cautious about letting kids out alone. It's best to have a friend go along with them or go with a group.

Despite late night arrival, the front desk person welcomed me very nicely. I stayed in a separate building which was three houses away from the main one on the photo. The internet was great. I chose the Indian breakfast, and did enjoy it as my first Indian experience during this trip. The location of the hotel is in a residential area. When I needed to move to another location in town, several Rikisha was waiting in front of the hotel, and it was easy to move around in the town. Rikisha has a meter but it's better to ask the hotel to negotiate if you need to watch your travel budget.

How do you ensure that the top of the tripod is level? Or is it even necessary?
I ask this because with the VX you need to place the mount on the tripod BEFORE you insert and tighten the triangular eyepiece plate/holder below, therefore there is no flat surface for a bubble gauge.
Celestron VX mount - tripod levelling?

It's not necessary. A simple bubble level is more than sufficient if you are worried about it, though.
Posted 01 April 2013 - 09:17 PM
The top of the tripod doesn't need to be level. What matters is getting the RA axis parallel to the Earth's axis. This is called polar alignment and should be easy with Celestron's All-Star Polar Alignment procedure.

here comes another situation
i installed win7 to usb 3.0 hdd, i could boot it in my lenovo netbook (s10),
however when i plug it to T420s,
i could enter the boot menu, then i chose USB HDD, but it just keeps loading back to the boot menu after dark screen for 15seconds...
08-19-2013 07:55 AM - edited 08-19-2013 07:56 AM
Yeah, likewise, I've been troubleshooting this for months and i still could not find an answer to this.
SanDisk Extreme 32GB USB 3.0 on my old Lenovo T61 - Can detect in boot menu, can boot into my Live USB LinuxOS.
Same SanDisk Extreme 32GB USB 3.0 on my new Lenovo T420 - Cannot detect in boot menu, cannot boot my Live USB Linux OS.
My desperate guess is that this is an issue specifically affecting the T420 and T420s family of BIOS.
Ladies and Gentlemen... I have the solution you have been looking for:
Go to the BIOS Setup page.
In the BIOS page go to the "Startup." tab.
Press, "Enter, (the, "Boot," option should be hilighted)."
Now... You don't see the USB device listed, huh?
Press, "F9," for, "Setup Defaults."
A dialogue will appear that asks, "Setup Confirmation. Load default configuration now?" To which you will press enter for, "Yes."
After you do this ALL of the bootable devices should appear. I went from only seeing two devices to seeing 12 devices. If your USB jump drive is in, it should display the make/model of the USB device too. You can then press the +/- keys to move that device to the top of the list.
Note 1: I am running BIOS version 1.38.
Note 2: I signed up for this forum just so that I could share this information with you because I couldn't find it anywhere else online. :-)
Trying for two hours... USB will not boot.
New 16GB usb drive, made recovery - successful, set to active boot partiion and still will not boot from usb. Bios recognizes it, shows it in boot. I have set it to priority and even turned off main harddisk and still gives me the "boot menu" (same as F12), shows the drive, but will not boot from it.
Never had this much trouble from any other computer. Seems like there are a lot cryptic holes to jump through for Lenovo recovery.
System is T430s
Any help is appreciated.
BIOS update 1.35 released on 9/25/12 resolved these reports:
- (Fix) Fixed an issue where the computer might hang during boot with some USB
hard disks attached.
It can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-a

Wow, Lenovo officially responds with a fix after this thread has been dormant for 1 year, 3 years after the thread was started.
C'mon Lenovo - can't you give some support on some of the more recent threads?
(The T420s will be a legacy (dead) machine, relic of the past, if you take another year+ to answer our new threads)

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
I am an attorney with more than 25 years of experience and I look forward to providing you information in this regard
But I need a little more clarification
What is the reason he is in prison?
What does that have to do with the firm he works for representing a plaintiff?
Was this a civil matter? If yes, why is he going to prison?
I'm sorry, I worded it wrong. My husband reported to prison las week. The attorney that represented him also handles cases for the plaintiff in this case (Credit Union). The attorney never informed us that his firm also handles numerous cases for the plaintiff and never asked us to sign a waiver. My husband's charge was submitted false information to a banking institution.
Thank you for the clarification.
if there was a clear conflict of interest as you are presenting, then your husband should consider filing for an Appeal based on the just learned information that there is a conflict of interest.
I suggest that you also want to file a complaint with Bar Association to show an Appeals Court that you were never aware of this conflict.
I further suggest that your husband will want to consult with a new local attorney to discuss the appeal as it is not something I suggest he will want to file on his own. The result of an Appeal could be that he be remanded back for a new trial.
You will base the appeal on Ineffective Counsel because of the conflictPlease note that I can only answer what you ask and so if you have more questions or need clarification, please ask it here. Otherwise, I thank you in advance for a positive rating.

Another reason for complete re-organisation of shipyard layout was the tendency for the average size of various types of ships to increase. Although existing berths appeared to be adequately long, their comparatively narrow width was in many cases the deciding factor in the size of ship they could build, while the lifting facilities with which they were equipped were not suitable for modern methods of ship construction.
In considering the reorganisation of both the yards, these problems had to be considered.
In 1966 Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson Ltd., merged with Smith's Dock Co. Ltd. which had a shipbuilding yard on the Tees and extensive ship repairing interests on the Tyne. The name of the new company became Associated Shipbuilders Ltd., and later Swan Hunter Group Ltd. which, prior to nationalisation of the industry, was a holding company with subsidiaries in shipbuilding, ship repairing, engineering and civil engineering.
Following the issue of the Geddes Report on the shipbuilding industry in 1966 discussions were opened with the owners of other shipyards on the Tyne on the subject of a possible merger of all the shipyards on the Tyne into one company. As a result, the Swan Hunter Group first acquired John Readhead & Sons Ltd. and then merged with the Naval Yard of Vickers Ltd. and R. & W. Hawthorn Leslie & Co. Ltd. A new company, Swan Hunter & Tyne Shipbuilders Ltd. was incorporated and all shipbuilding interests on the Tyne were transferred to the new company. Subsequently the name was shortened to Swan Hunter Shipbuilders Ltd. In January 1969 Swan Hunter Shipbuilders took over the Furness Shipbuilding Co. at Haverton Hill-on-Tees which had been scheduled for closure and a loss of 2,800 jobs.
At that time Swan Hunter Shipbuilders Ltd. owned and operated three shipyards on the north bank of the Tyne (i.e. Naval Yard at Walker, Neptune Yard at Walker and Wallsend Shipyard) and two on the south bank of the Tyne, (Hawthorn Leslie Shipyard and Readheads Shipyard) as well as the Haverton Hill Shipyard on the Tees. In addition, Swan Hunter Group Ltd. of which Swan Hunter Shipbuilders was a wholly-owned subsidiary, owned the shipyard operated by Smith's Dock Co. Ltd. on the Tees and shipyards building smaller ships, i.e. fishing vessels, tugs, etc. at Goole on the Humber and at Willington Quay at Wallsend.

Top Ten: City Songs
From John Lydon spitting super T into the eyes of pink-haired insurgents in London to Kurt stagediving into an army of plaid-wearing Mudhoney fans in Seattle: cities have always spawned the birth of the best genres.
But what of the songs that take on the title of an urban sprawl? We've tried to compress a few of the best songs name-checking one singular city eg 'NYC' into a top ten (so yes, that means no 'London Calling' or 'Trenchtown Rock') and before you start asking what happened to Ultravox's classic cheese-fest 'Vienna', we're not really going down that route. So in no particular order, here goes..
10)Interpol: NYC
Whilst the Strokes (see below) were busy introducing New York's new rock n roll roster to a world gorging on Nu-Metal, Interpol's 'NYC' showcased a more refined, melancholic ode to the city. A great song it may be, but Paul Banks still manages to get a sea of music fans scratching their heads with the somewhat aloof and confusing couplet ''the subway/is a porno''. What? We thought subways just turned your snot black and were full of stressed commerce consultants.
Listen to 'NYC' here
9)The Shins: Australia
Ok, so its not strictly written about a city (although lyrically we're still at a loss as to why its named after Lou Carpenter's homeland). 'Australia' sees James Mercer's tales of insomnia from 'Wincing..' bounding into new spheres. The skyscraping melodics were enough to make all the doubters choke on their coco pops whilst tuning in to 'future classics' FM. Catchier than a bout of nausea upon hearing Limp Bizkit, then.
Listen to 'Australia' here
8)Steely Dan: Brooklyn
Taken from the band's platinum debut 'Can't Buy A Thrill', 'Brooklyn' saw the all-american duo team up with David Palmer, who sings vocals here. Although Palmer would later become a backing singer for the band (and go on to pen lyrics for Carole King), here Steely Dan forget the jazz noodling and came up trumps with a rather more conventional song structure.
Listen to 'Brooklyn' here
7)The Strokes : Hawaii
Grainy tele-stabs played through a 10watt amp? Check. Drums that sound like they were recorded in a bus shelter? Check. Holiday inspired lyrics that made us consider moving to Honolulu, wearing a lei and greeting confused locals with ''aloha''? Check.
Released as the flipside to 'Juicebox' in 2005, 'Hawaii' found Casablancas&co. taking their sound back to the classic Strokes of old as opposed to the space-age leanings of 'First Impressions..' and also made Hawaii sound like the coolest place on earth.
Listen to 'Hawaii' here
6)Ryan Adams: New York
Never ones to associate Mr Adams with bongos, this is however a poignant ode to N.Y. and the kind of song that should be playing in those corny city promotion adverts (as opposed to Ashlee Simpson). The fact it has a sax solo and is still ace makes it all the better, and considering 'Gold (the album that hosted 'New York') was released merely two weeks after 9/11 makes it even more compelling listening.
Listen to 'New York' here
5)Joy Division: Warsaw
From the unsettling opening cries of "3 5 0 1 2 5.. Go!" (reportedly Rudolf Hess's prisoner of war serial number), this early demo finds Joy Division at their rawest. From the cold, mechanical drumbeat to the wired guitar, 'Warsaw's' actual subject matter is shrouded in mystery (as are many J.D songs). Although lyrically most believe it to be Ian Curtis imagining himself as Hess, ie. a scumbag Nazi dictator.
Listen to 'Warsaw' here
4)Elliot Smith: Angeles
In hindsight, all of Smith's songs are shrouded in some cheerless sense of loss, and with Angeles essentially Smith's declaration of independence toward the big league labels in Los Angeles, its still a haunting, timeless piece of songwriting nonetheless. Taken from his seminal 'Either/Or' album (which also features the classic 'Ballad Of Big Nothing') it should be seen as a celebration of one of America's most missed songwriters.
Listen to 'Angeles' here
3)Orbital: Belfast
From the sinister opening chimes to the mantra-like build-up, Orbital proved themselves to be untouchable upon the release of 'Belfast', an acid-trance classic that's responsible for more gurning than the entire Columbian cartels combined. The fact its been reworked more times than a tin of spam should tell you all you need to know about Belfast. A classic.
Listen to 'Belfast' here
2)Sufjan Stevens: Chicago
Taken from Sufjan's ethereal 'Illinois' album, the prolific Michigan songwriter vowed to write an album for every American state following its release. Although he was knocking out LP's at a rate that would make Axl Rose walk the plank,it has since transpired Stevens won't be fulfilling his vision (50 states is a lot to cover). Nonetheless, this is Sufjan's moment; a towering, emotive slice of orchestral pop, and fortunately, 'Chicago' is possibly his best song too.
Listen to 'Chicago' here
1)Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra: Jackson
One of the most covered songs ever, this was also a classic cut from the Man In Black and June Carter. Although not penned by any of the above, 'Jackson' is probably the most famous country song named after a place in history. Hazelwood and Sinatra would go on to record countless more records together, but here Sinatra manages to pepper her kooky personality into proceedings (see the repeated Jackson refrain on the outro) and Hazelwood got to rock a legendary 'tache on the cover. Everyone's a winner.
Have we missed out your fave? Spitting bullets that 'Paris' By Friendly Fires or 'Arizona by Kings of Leon were left off?

Java: How do I perform list operations with different definitions of equals?
I have two lists of generic POJOs. I need to perform some set operations on the lists based on different ways of comparing the POJOs within the lists.
For example, if my POJO had the following structure:
public class GenericPojo {
private String id;
private String address;
private String city;
private String country;
private String extraDetails;
(with the appropriate getters and setters)
List1<GenericPojo> and
List2<GenericPojo>, how would I find:
List1 - List2 (where the
GenericPojo classes are equal if just the IDs are equal)
Intersect of List1 and List2 (where
country, but not
extraDetails of
GenericPojo are equal)
Would two different custom comparator classes be helpful here? Are there any libraries that handle these operations effectively or should I try implementing my own?

Another Piece to the Soccer Nutrition Puzzle and its Effects Beyond the Field
Posted by Dr. Jay Williams, Virginia Tech on Aug 6, 2013 in Education 0 Comments
As teams begin preseason training for the fall season, they are likely to encounter hot, humid days. Exercise in the heat can cause excessive sweat and considerable fluid loss. If fluids are not replaced, dehydration occurs and performance can be negatively affected. More importantly, dehydration can also lead to a number of serious health consequences. Given this, what can players do to stay well hydrated and avoid the problems associated with dehydration?
Proper hydration may be the most important piece of the soccer nutrition puzzle. Like foods eaten, beverages have a significant influence on athletic performance. However, while a weak diet may only affect performance, dehydration raises the risk of serious health consequences ranging from mild discomfort to death. This cannot be emphasized enough. The effects of dehydration can be very serious that require immediate medical treatment. Thus, always seek the advice of a medical professional with specific questions regarding dehydration. Most importantly, if a player is suspected to be suffering from dehydration or any heat-related illness, stop play and consult a medical professional as soon as possible.
Expending energy during a match or training is accompanied by heat production. Over the course of 90 minutes, body temperature can rise from 37°C (98.6° F) to above 39° C (102° F). Without adequate cooling, temperature can rise even higher, increasing the risk of heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The body combats heat several ways. The most effective way to cool the body is through evaporation. As body temperature rises during exercise, sweat is produced and it evaporates into the atmosphere. This in turn removes heat and helps cool the body. On hot, humid days when the air is saturated with water vapor, evaporation is more difficult. As a result, cooling is compromised and the body cannot properly cool itself. This promotes more sweating and greater fluid loss.
How much fluid is lost through sweating is often estimated by measuring body weight before and after an activity. As rule of thumb is 1 lb of weight loss after training equals about 1 pint of fluid (16 oz). Or, 1 kg equals about 1 liter. It is not uncommon for a player to lose more than 3 percentof his or her body weight during training of competing in the heat. For a 150 lb athlete (68 kg), this equals about 4.5 lbs or 2 kg. Research shows that fluid losses equal to 1-3 percent of body weight can decrease speed, power as well as technical abilities and decision-making. Fluid losses greater than 3 percent can lead to health problems.
If fluids lost during exercise are not replaced, the athlete can enter a dehydrated state. When dehydrated, sweat production is reduced and the body loses evaporation as a method of cooling. This, in turn causes body temperature to rise quickly and the risks of heat-related health problems grow (not to mention performance suffers). The overall effect is that dehydration greatly increases the risk of heat-related health problems.
A recent study of teams playing in the UEFA Champions League found that muscle power output declined to a greater extent when matches were played in the heat and players were dehydrated (>3% loss of body weight). Following matches played in cooler climates without dehydration, players were better able to maintain performance. Other studies show that fitness, dribbling and other soccer skills deteriorate after matches or training when no drinks were allowed. When drinks are allowed, dehydration is avoided and performance is better maintained. Thus, from a purely performance perspective, it is important to keep the body well hydrated. Failing to do so can leave the player wanting, especially at the end of a match.
Unfortunately, dehydration is a problem with soccer players. Recent studies of youth and college players found that many players arrive at training in a hypo-hydrated state. That is, they may not be dehydrated, but their hydration status is often less than optimal for the conditions. The primary reason for this is that many players do not re-hydrate properly after training. Thus, dehydration becomes very common over the course of a pre-season training camp. Given the physical demands of a pre-season training (multiple sessions each day) dehydration probably prevent players from performing their best. Also, the risk of dehydration and health problems is probably quite high.
So, what is a player to do? How can players ensure that they well-hydrated before the start of a match or training session? By following a few simple guidelines, players can avoid dehydration which will help them maintain their performance on the field and avoid potential health problems.
- Take in 400-600 ml (15-20 oz) of fluid 2-3 hours prior to the match or training session (a typical sports drink contains about 20 oz)
- Drink during stoppages of play, especially during half-time. Cold beverages can also help cool the body
- After the match or training, replace 1.5 times the amount of weight lost through sweat. Start by drinking 500-1000 ml (15-30 oz) within 30 min of training or a match
- Take in about 1 liter (2 quarts) of fluid every few hours after the match. Part of this amount may be beverages consumed during the evening meal
- Drink either water or sports drinks – both are good replacement beverages. Also, drink slowly rather than quickly gulp the entire container
- Avoid caffeinated or energy drinks as well as alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics that can promote more fluid loss (urination) and slow absorption of fluid from the gut.
Coaches should play a role in insuring that players are well-hydrated. Emphasize the need to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Allow water breaks during training, preferably under some shade. If players bring their own water bottle, check to see that the fluids are actually being consumed. Finally, make sure that they have something to drink after training.
An important point to remember is that if you err; err on the side of more fluid rather than less. While it is possible to drink too much, the vast majority of athletes drink far less that the amount considered problematic. The bottom line is, remember to drink plenty of fluids during the summer months and especially during periods of intense training or match play. Avoiding dehydration can benefit performance. More importantly, it can help players avoid serious heat-related health consequences.

With Michigan dead last in the region for recycling our waste, a state lawmaker wants to tack a one penny increase on every retail sale in the state with the projected $42 million earmarked for new recycling efforts.
The so called Penny Plan has the endorsement of major grocery chains around the state that do not want an expansion of the state's bottle deposit law which is under consideration in Lansing.
Rep. Geoff Hansen who is pushing the penny idea says for every five percent increase in recycling, 18,000 jobs will be created. However the chair of the House Taxation committee says even a penny increase on sales is unacceptable to him.

KLEM News PM Update January 21,2011
The Plymouth County Sheriff's Office, Mercy Air Care, Le Mars and Merrill Ambulance and Fire Departments responded about 11:30 this morning.
Drivers traveling in that area are asked to slow down due to the snowy surfaces and the emergency personnel.
Two fires during cold conditions
(LE MARS)--Cold weather and two fires at about the same time challenged the Le Mars Fire-Rescue Department early last night.
Fire fighters went to an attic fire in a machine shop at 212 Fourth Avenue Northeast about seven Thursday night. Fire fighters found heavy smoke and some fire in the east end area of the shop owned by Pat Nilles.
According to written information from fire-rescue chief David Schipper, the fire was fought by going into the attic and cutting a hole through the ceiling below the burning area. A support rafter was completely burned in the area of the attic.
The cause of the accidental fire was a vent pipe from an oil burner in the machine shop that ignited blow-in type insulation in the attic area that was against the vent pipe. Damage was limited to the attic area. Fire fighters were out on the call for about two hours.
Fire fighters also went to a basement apartment fire at 115 Third Avenue Northeast. There was light smoke in the apartment caused by a microwave malfunction. There was fire damage to the cord from the microwave and some surrounding combustibles were burned. Damage to the apartment rented by Kayla Ragar was minor and the apartment was vented by fire fighters. The building is owned by Bill Singer of Spirit Lake.
The Merrill department was called initially for the apartment fire because the Le Mars department was out on the attic fire call. However, the department was cancelled.
Three potential presidential candidates agree to FAMiLY Leader lecture series
Three potential Republican presidential candidates have agreed to speak at forums organized by The FAMiLY Leader. The organization is led by the chairman of last fall's successful effort to vote three Iowa Supreme Court justices off the court, northwest Iowan Bob Vander Plaats. One of the forum locations is in Sioux Center.
Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum each have agreed to give lectures, answer audience questions and hold news conferences in three different Iowa cities. Vander Plaats of The FAMiLY Leader says his group's "Presidential Election Series" is more about educating than about politicking.
"We think this gives our base of support a real opportunity to be educated with some real national leaders on pro-family policy," Vander Plaats says. Each of those three potential candidate -- over the course of a single day -- has agreed to speak at Dordt College in Sioux Center in the morning; make a midday stop at Pella Christian High School and wind up at the University of Iowa in Iowa City late in the day.
"At each location...the lecture and question-and-answer series will be videotaped and we plan on blasting that message to our some 50,000 email database constituents so they get an opportunity, if they cannot attend, to see these public figures with their pro-family vision," Vander Plaats says. Pawlenty has agreed to appear on February 7th. Bachmann will do the three-stop tour on April 11th and Santorum's scheduled for May 2nd. Vander Plaats says the group intends to have one forum a month, through perhaps October.
Two other potential presidential candidates -- former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Godfather's Pizza C-E-O Herman Cain -- have agreed to do participate in the lecture series, but a date hasn't been set yet for their appearances. Vander Plaats says "conversations continue" with six other potential candidates, and he lists them in this order: former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Indiana Congressman Mike Pence; Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels; Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour; former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and South Dakota Senator John Thune. As for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a 2008 candidate who is mulling another bid for the White House in 2012, Vander Plaats says "messages have been left" for Romney.

Man convicted in 1997 kidnap, murder
JACKSON, Minn. (AP) A jury in southern Minnesota has convicted a man for his involvement in the kidnapping and murder of a Spencer teenager 14 years ago.
Jurors in Jackson County deliberated for more than three hours Thursday evening before finding Juan Humberto Castillo-Alvarez guilty of aiding and abetting second-degree murder, with and without intent, and felony kidnapping.
Prosecutors alleged members of the Los Crazy Boys gang kidnapped Gregory ``Sky'' Erickson in Spencer and killed him in southwestern Minnesota in 1997 over a $1,400 marijuana debt. Castillo-Alvarez fled to Mexico and was eventually extradited and convicted in 2008. The Iowa Court of Appeals reversed the convictions based on a violation of his right to a speedy trial. Jackson County filed new charges last year.

4th Iowa slaying suspect arrested in Omaha
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) A fourth suspect in the stabbing death of a Council Bluffs woman has been arrested in Omaha, Neb.
A news release from the Council Bluffs Police Department says 43-year-old Brian Reeves was arrested a little before 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Police say they also recovered the weapon used to stab to death 39-year-old Tammy Rocha on Jan. 14. A passing motorist found Rocha with several stab wounds. Police say Rocha was outside when stabbed but was able to walk a short distance before collapsing. She died at a hospital.
Three other people have been arrested in her slaying, including Reeves' 22-year-old daughter, Lisa Reeves.
Brian Reeves remains in custody. Online court records don't list his attorney's name. Lisa Reeves' attorney has not returned phone calls from The Associated Press.
Iowa teacher accused of sexually abusing student
MELCHER-DALLAS, Iowa (AP) A 40-year-old teacher has been accused of sexually abusing a student at Melcher-Dallas High School in south-central Iowa.
Court records say the incident occurred in a classroom on Nov. 11 while the girl was working on an extra-credit project.
Records say David Bennett was charged with second-degree sexual abuse after his DNA matched samples taken from the girl.
The schools superintendent says Bennett is on administrative leave. Bennett has been with the district for four years.
Bennett is no longer in custody. He didn't immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press. Court records don't list his attorney's name.
No injuries in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, bank robbery
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) Police are searching for the man who robbed a bank branch in Cedar Rapids.

Woman's death leads to fine for Iowa nursing home
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) The state of Iowa has fined a Davenport nursing home $10,000 in connection with the death of a resident.
Records say 97-year-old Corine Armentrout died less than two weeks after and another resident of the Ridgecrest Village home were injured in a traffic accident on Nov. 19.
According to The Des Moines Register, the van stopped suddenly in traffic, throwing the two residents out of their wheelchairs onto the van floor. The van driver told investigators that he'd failed to buckle their safety belts, although their chairs were securely attached to the van's floor.
The Iowa Department of Inspection and Appeals says Armentrout's death 12 days later was attributed to congestive heart failure as a result of a broken leg and blood loss.
Iowa cheerleaders get OK for trip
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) It's off to Florida for a high school cheerleading squad from Dubuque. They will get to compete in a national competition after all.
Dubuque Community School District Superintendent Larie Godinez has granted the Hempstead cheerleaders' request for the trip to Orlando in February.
The Telegraph Herald says Godinez approved the request based on conditions agreed by the coach, which include increased oversight on all aspects of the trip and completion of trip forms as per policy.
Earlier this month, Godinez denied the trip, saying among other reasons, she couldn't support a private competition sponsored by a for-profit company that is not sanctioned.

Bill ClintonIn January 1994 Attorney General Reno approved an investigation into business dealings by Clinton and his wife with an Arkansas housing development corporation known as Whitewater. Led from August by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, the Whitewater inquiry consumed several years and more than $50 million but did not turn up conclusive evidence of wrongdoing by the Clintons.
Hillary ClintonSome of Hillary's financial dealings raised suspicions of impropriety and led to major investigations after she became first lady. Her investment in Whitewater, a real estate development in Arkansas, and her commodities trading in 1978–79—through which she reportedly turned a $1,000 investment into $100,000 in a few months—came under close scrutiny.
StarrIn August 1994 Starr was named the independent counsel to lead the investigation into the so-called Whitewater affair, which involved a land deal in Arkansas during the time Clinton, a Democrat, was that state's governor. As a result of the investigation, 11 people—including Clinton associates James and Susan McDougal—were convicted of crimes. Starr later looked into the suicide of...

"Hidden in Plain Sight" - Takeda Sokaku

Re: "Hidden in Plain Sight" - Takeda Sokaku
Peter - I think that is a strong possibility. Previous to the war, you had a loyal son, not an athlete or tough guy, and not naturally drawn to his father's world, either martial or spiritual. Confronted, so to speak, on a daily basis, by many men who were not only stronger than he was, but stronger than he ever would be. (A little digression - I'm not thinking of size - I think Shioda and he were about the same size - but we have talent, fighting spirit, all sorts of things that make the man).
But in Tokyo, Kisshomaru went to war, so to speak. And people who've actually been to war and survived do not need to feel that they have to hang their head in relationship to a ring fighter or "martial artist." I can imagine, at least, that when Kisshomaru was confronted by the arrogance of one or another of these sempai/shihan, he could hold the internal sense of, "I was dodging napalm. I kept this dojo in existence. I stay without any possibility of even fighting back. And furthermore, despite your exploits in war, you were part of a group, and one can always borrow courage from the group. But I was alone." Diplomat and politician he certainly was, but all the times I observed him, I never had the sense that he felt himself abashed in the slightest when dealing with his seniors, the off-shoots (Shioda, Tomiki, etc.) or the top shihan in his organization.
I hadn't thought of it this way before, but I've certainly wondered why Morihei "let him get away with his changes." He was still the boss-man. To be sure, there the idea you raise of the old men making speeches at the wedding, listened to assiduously and then ignored. But one gets the sense, in the interviews they did together, that Morihei gave his son his head, so to speak. As in, "whether I agree or not - and I may make some noise now and then - you are a man and make your own decisions."
If this is so, how admirable. I've seen all too many great martial artists in Japan and elsewhere with non-entities for sons, the latter never finding a place - or merely being a place-holder.

Hi y'all!! It's good to be alive!! :)
I know most of you probably don't even remember me but I have been away from the board for a while. I had a knee surgery scheduled for the morning of Jan. 26th to clean up my bad knee. I was hoping they could even reconstruct my ACL....but it never happened.
On the night of Jan. 25th I had a cerebral hemmorage(brain bleed) and thought that I was a dead man. I had no idea what was happening to me but I knew something was wrong. It was a pretty good indication something wasn't normal when I lost 100% of the feeling on my entire right side. :eek: Ended up in a neuro ICU unit for a while and in the hospital a total of 2 1/2 weeks. I thought I was a hard worker but I have never worked so hard in my entire life as I did in phsical therapy. I'm still not 100% healed, but I'm a damn sight better than I was after all this took place(could barely even move). I'm back at work finally and it feels good to be getting back in the old routine again. It was definately a life changing experience but hopefully I'll be back close to 100% the way I was before. I'm itchin' to get back on my bike. Probably not gonna have anywhere near the stamina I had before but hopefuly that will come as I am able to ride more anmd more this spring and summer. Bikes good, hospitals bad. :D

Back burner: Fairness for lease holders
Military life often has been described as a case of "hurry up and wait." For state lawmakers, though, it's the opposite: "Wait and hurry up."
The state Legislature spends a large part of the year in recess (though not in adjournment, so members may collect their daily expense checks for appearing). Then, with deadlines looming, lawmakers rush through legislation or allow bills to die under the fiction that there wasn't enough time to deal with them.
To the extent that it's a system, it's a lousy one. Even a fundamental bill to help ensure the supposed promise of natural gas development to enrich Pennsylvania residents has been sidetracked until the fall.
The bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Garth Everett of Lycoming County, would protect gas leaseholders. Many of those leaseholders are dismayed that companies deduct post-production costs, such as marketing and transmission fees, from the royalties paid to the land owners.
In one sense, the bill demonstrates how far behind the curve the state government was when the gas industry began developing the Marcellus Shale. The legislation would clarify the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty Act of 1979 . It would limit companies' ability to deduct post-production costs from royalty payments by setting a minimum royalty payment of 12.5 percent of the value of the gas.
The House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee passed the bill in May, 25-0, but Mr. Everett said he has not been able to muster votes for a floor vote — a sure sign that gas industry lobbyists don't take as much time off as lawmakers.
Now, at the very earliest, the bill will go to the floor in the fall, when lawmakers have scheduled themselves a few weeks to conduct business before they return to their actual full-time jobs — campaigning. Leaseholders who have been shorted should be sure to greet the politicians with stump speeches of their own.

of films like "Queen", "Revolver Rani" and "Rajjo", all of which seem to be women oriented.
"In 'Rajjo' I am a dancing girl, in 'Queen' I am playing an ordinary girl who goes on a honeymoon on her own and in 'Revolver Rani' I play a gangster-cum-politician. I have a variety of characters to play in these films which was a challenge but it was fun," she said.
Both in Rakesh Roshan directed 'Krrish 3' and Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Revolver Rani', Kangana will be doing some heavy duty action sequences.
"For 'Krrish 3' we have done all the action sequences with the help of action director from China. He was very particular about everything he wanted. The action here is on world level and we have already shot for it," Kangana said.
"While for 'Revolver Rani' the action is very difficult, we have to use revolver, guns, hand fights etc. I had to be cautious and prepare for the action part. I had to prepare for it like you do for dance," she added.
