Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
If there has ever been a time when you wanted to easily look a year back and see if someone called you on a specific day, you will appreciate this app. With different needs for a call log, like a credit card company dispute or heaven forbid a relationship dispute, keeping a detailed log of phone calls can be a very important matter.
CallTrack for Android phones is a solution for this issue that takes advantage of Android's unified Google experience and puts it to use. The app does nothing more than track every call that you receive or make, depending on your settings, and sends those as an event into your Google Calendar.
The app lets you choose a calendar to sync to and choose what type of call to sync. It worked perfectly in my tests. It seems to be missing a few features that would be nice such as the ability to choose a specific number to sync instead of every call. But as an overall experience, this app worked wonders. It's available for free in the Android Market so check it out and start logging your calls.

In a weathered house in Maine, four mismatched brothers drunkenly pick at old wounds with the dedication of luckless alkies in a Eugene O'Neill play while their mother lies upstairs dying. Frosh helmer Henry LeRoy Finch keeps "Wake," his intentionally theatrical exercise, percolating briskly, and "Queer as Folk" star Gale Harold — the nearest this family comes to a sympathetic character — could lure fans. But given pic's literary set piece claustrophobia and lack of topical hooks, "Wake," which opens today, May 28, in Gotham and Los Angeles, will likely die at the box office only to be resurrected on cable.Finch's classically dysfunctional alcoholic family comes fully equipped with one housebound writer, Sebastian (Dihlon McManne), who takes care of his unconscious mother and contemplates euthanasia while searching for his father's insurance money. Sebastian has summoned his youngest brother, Kyle (Harold), whose reliance on a dazzling array of prescribed pharmaceuticals makes him the perfect supplier for his mother's deliverance. Wrestling with demons of his and his brothers' making, Kyle fights both alcohol addiction and incapacitating memories of earlier sibling traumas. Enter Ray (Blake Gibbons), who has just escaped from prison, some months shy of his release date. Tending toward extroverted sociopathic aggression in contrast to Kyle's introverted depression, Ray is soon joined by fourth brother Jack (John Winthrop Philbrick), an ex-security guard who helped Ray make his getaway. Jack adds two guns and a couple of local floozies (Rainer Judd and Dusty Paik) to the already explosive mix of booze and familial breakdown: The four brothers pour a small liquor store's worth of potent potables down their respective gullets. As accusations and secrets fly around the room, so too do fists and bullets, and ghosts of old wrongs arise to commit further wrongs. Pic is bookended by a prologue and epilogue delivered at an old Royal portable typewriter by Martin Landau (father of the producer and father-in-law of the director) as the now aged older brother Sebastian, writing about the night his mother died. Though the characters are not particularly interesting in themselves, their dynamic remains consistently engrossing. Strong thesping and solid staging, atmospherically accompanied by disorienting, darkly folksy Ramsay Midwood songs make "Wake" surprisingly watchable for a film whose whole raison d'etre appears to be something of a mystery.

MasterChef: Gordon Ramsay Cuts Three Contestants On A Romance Themed Evening!
September 01, 2010 08:05 PM by Lisa Princ
That's right folks, on a brand new two hour episode of Masterchef on FOX tonight, Gordon Ramsay will cut not two, but three of the remaining nine contestants. With the contestants battling it out in one romantic challenge after another, you may be surprised at who flunks and who flies this week. Keep reading for all the juicy details!
Masterchef on FOX kicked off tonight with a mystery box challenge. This time all of the ingredients were outside the box, except for one ingredient, the main ingredient which was revealed to be Dungeness crab….I guess that is a tad bit romantic to start the evening. In this challenge, only the three best looking dishes would be tasted, granting one person the win, and the advantage in the next challenge. While most of the contestants had no issues cooking up their crabs, Sheetal had a huge problem with it, claiming that "every living creature has a soul"…..um, sorry honey I would be cooking him in a heartbeat! Despite her rough time with the crabs and all the tears it brought it her, her crab curry dish did earn her a spot in the top three along with Lee and Sharone.
Lee ended up taking the win with his crab gazpacho which gave him the advantage of choosing the main ingredient in the next challenge. Gordon Ramsay revealed only the theme: romance. With that in mind, lee examined the three ingredient choices of chocolate, passion fruit and cheese. After making it perfectly clear that he would not cook anything with chocolate, Lee chose the passion fruit for a romantic dinner's main ingredient. This week it worked to his advantage, as his beef/passion fruit dish wound up being so delicious, not only did he get another win for the evening, but Gordon, Graham and Joe asked that all the contestants come up and taste his dish. Sharone flat out refused to taste Lee's dish, but everyone else gobbled it up. The worst dish of the challenge was Slim, who was then sent packing up and heading home, even though all of the ladies were in the bottom of this challenge!
For the next challenge on Masterchef on FOX, the romance continued as the contestants would be broken up into two groups and would be catering a wedding of more than 100 people. Lee was asked to choose his team members and I think he purposely did not choose Sharone for shunning his previous dish. Sharone vowed to take his team to the top…nothing like a little culinary rivalry. Lee's red team of Tracy, Jake, Mike and himself worked hard but Tracy made a crucial mistake in burning part of the appetizer. The blue team of Sharone, Sheetal, Whitney and David really came together as a team and it paid off for them as they wound up winning the challenge despite the fact that Gordon and Graham did jump in to help both teams finish up. Lucky for us, we got to see some skin on Chef Ramsay and lucky for the blue team, they were safe and the red team was up for elimination.
For their final challenge to see who would be staying and who would be going, Gordon Ramsay let them know they would be making fresh pasta. But there was a twist….only two of them would be staying and two of them would be packing up. Three of the four contestants got right to work on their pasta, while Tracy fiddled around with everything else first and pushed her pasta off for last. This proved to be a crucial mistake as her dish was so bad she was the first contestant sent packing for this challenge. Mike, who had the best pasta was then sent to safety leaving Jake and Lee awaiting their fate. Gordon was furious that two of his "front runners" who he swore he would see in the finale were standing up there. Luckily for Lee, I think winning the other two challenges saved him as Jake was sent packing for his poorly created pasta and squid dish.
Good luck to Slim, Tracy and Jake! Be sure to tune in next week to Masterchef on FOX on Wednesday at 8 pm EST for another 2 hours of cooking fun!

it would be good if they can do a full season with a competitive car, in the past they always start strong but seem to fade as the races roll by, I get the feeling that if they have a couple of bad results they start to focus more effort to the next years car and cut back on developing the current car, I could be wrong but it's just how I see it

How Big Pharma Profits From Obama's Reefer Madness
How Big Pharma Profits From Obama's Reefer Madness - Page 2
(page 2)
The problem isn't only that all these policies, taken together, are inherently contradictory. The problem is that each agency is right, up to a point. Justice and the DEA are correct to insist that certain combinations of the dozens of synthetic ingredients found in "fake" cannabis are not at all user-friendly, and that when marketed over the counter as Spice, K2, herbal incense, or bath salts, may land a consumer in the emergency room.
Yet agencies like the FDA—and entrepreneurs like GW Pharmaceuticals—are also right to insist that certain medical applications lurk within the chemical heart of the marijuana plant. "In the last three years alone," writes Maia Szalavitz on her blog at Time Healthland, "cannabinoids have been found to help kill breast cancer cells, fight liver cancer, reduce inflammation, have antipsychotic effects and even potentially help stave off the development of Alzheimer's disease and reduce progression of Huntington's disease. Further, a 2011 review of the effectiveness of cannabinoids for non-cancer pain found 'no significant adverse effects' and 'significant' analgesic effects."
It's laudable that one department of the federal government wants to protect us from potentially harmful synthetic cannabinoids. It's also understandable that another agency of the government wants to investigate legitimate medical applications for cannabis-based medicines. What's confusing is the renewed fervor the Obama administration has shown for cracking down on pot-for-pain clinics in the 16 states that have legalized them. Nor is there any ready explanation for the DEA's bad-faith declaration concerning medical marijuana, at a time when the FDA is actively testing and approving medicines based on both organic and man-made cannabis products.
The DEA's intent [may be] to "expand the federal government's schedule III listing to include pharmaceutical products containing naturally derived formations of THC while simultaneously maintaining existing criminal prohibitions on the plant itself."
Although not well known, there are already several synthetic versions of cannabis available to medical patients in the U.S. HU-211, for example, a synthetic version of THC marketed as dexanabinol, is in clinical trials for glaucoma and stroke damage. HU-211 is also found as an ingredient in some versions of Spice. Dronabinol, marketed as Marinol, is a form of synthetic THC prescribed as an appetite stimulant for people with AIDS wasting or on chemotherapy, as is another form of synthetic cannabis called Nabilone. Even the government's putatively well-meaning attack on "fake" marijuana is not entirely free of conflicts of interest.
In a pill or a spray, it's OK. In a doobie, no way.
Back in 2005, when Canada certified Sativex, AlterNet declared: "Make no mistake: Sativex is liquid marijuana. It is nothing like Marinol, the synthetic THC pill sold in the US and sometimes falsely touted as an adequate substitute for marijuana....By approving liquid marijuana, the Canadian government has just certified that virtually everything our own government has been telling us about marijuana is wrong." And all of this comes as the DEA and the Office of National Drug Control Policy have furiously redoubled their efforts to put a stake through the heart of the medical marijuana movement, which is attempting, more or less, to sell the same medicine.
Here is GW Pharmaceuticals' position, which, if the FDA approves Sativex, will tacitly become the position of the US government: "GW has never endorsed or supported the idea of distributing or legalizing crude herbal cannabis for medical use. In both our publications and presentations, we have consistently maintained that only a cannabinoid medication—one that is standardized in composition, formulation, and dose, administered by means of an appropriate delivery system, and tested in properly controlled preclinical and clinical studies—can meet the standards of regulatory authorities around the world, including those of the FDA....In GW's opinion, smoking is not an acceptable means of delivery for a medicine."
There may be another big reason why smoking is not an acceptable means of cannabis delivery: It's too cheap. NORML's Paul Armentano, who frequently writes for AlterNet, says that the DEA's intent was to "expand the federal government's schedule III listing to include pharmaceutical products containing naturally derived formations of THC while simultaneously maintaining existing criminal prohibitions on the plant itself." If that is truly the plan, then the conspiracy buffs have been right all along: Uncle Sam wants to be your one and only dealer—on behalf of his supplier, Big Pharma.
And with President Obama battling hard-right mudslingers in his campaign for re-election, expect him to burnish his "hard on drugs" credentials with further medical-marijuana crackdowns. For now, advocates can only hope for change in his second term. In their dreams.

The illustrations are experimentation and combinations of techniques that Grandpeople have developed through years of collaboration with the creative and cultural industry. The purpose was not to refer directly to the editorial content, rather make a representation of the wide specter of artists and cultural institutions presented in the book. A mix of photography, hand drawings and digital elements combined with an emphasis on special printing techniques and paper qualities makes this book an entertaining reading experience.
With a title so heavily loaded with pop cultural connotations, we decided to play along with it, instead of claiming the word as our own. Our goal was to balance the pop cultural connotations with the academic aspect of a architecture diploma exhibition. The thick outline, dot-pattern and 3D-extrusion are common tools in cartoons, but has a different effect when set in a tight grid with straight lines.]]>
Parisian printers Imprimerie Du Marais invited 8 design studios do a notebook meant to showcase some of their printing techniques.
Our contribution is inspired by mountains, sediment, rocks and stones.
It´s natural to think of stone as being hard and cold, sharp and edgy, which it of course is, but it´s also full of soft and liquid shapes and lines. It can sometimes look like "frozen motion" – a snapshot. Something so static and "dead" is testament to something dramatic, full of motion, conflict and temperature. A fascinating contrast. We wanted to capture a bit of both opposites in the artwork. It turned out sort of like an imagined evolutionary stage for rock, in which it possesses all of these qualities at the same time. Warm stone, liquid, static, hovering, heavy, pointy and soft.
The colour scheme is bit "skewed", like it is something that has aged, or changed, not too clean and crisp, but at bit weathered and analogue.
We put together a small identity with an anniversary emblem and a bright colour palette which we applied to the printed matter with coloured paper and Pantone print]]>
To add to the product feel of our instrument, we photographed it in a classic 70s/80s advertising light and did the editorial design to resemble manuals for instruments and other electrical devices.]]>
Over the last two years of touring, the band's sound have evolved and taken on a darker, more organic sound, while staying true to their catchy pop-vibe. The band wanted the cover to hint to this evolution, while still staying somehow visually related to their previous releases, «Bridge» and «Revolving Cylinder».
With this in mind we decided to continue playing with geometric shapes like we did on their EP, but to introduce a wooden cube as an organic element. We wrapped it up in several layers of PVC-film, which was then peeled off in the shape of waves to reveal the wooden core, much like layers of synth and electronics are added to the band's musical core, which is a traditional band using guitars, drums and keyboards.]]>
The Norwegian Rain collection is a subtle composition of traditional men's tailoring and the technology found in heavy-duty rain protection. While keeping you dry and warm, the garments are also elegantly shaped eco-friendly fabrics with fine men's tailoring details sewn in. Norwegian Rain is one of those brands who's got what it takes to become really successful, and maybe help the style-minded urban man to finally get rid of his umbrellas.
The Norwegian Rain brand is developed collaboratory between founder Alexander Helle, bespoke tailor and co-designer T. Michael, and Grandpeople. Our involvement in the visual aspects of the brand will continue as Norwegian Rain evolves.]]>
To follow up on the philosophy that trash is a misplaced resource, we made proposals where every element of the packaging will be made from recycled materials, together with the illustrative story of the bird´s «past life».]]>
We wanted a look that reflected this new musical direction, which led us to shoot the band in a dark studio setting, and ultimately to combine photography with illustrations and handmade textures.
For the vinyl edition of the album we created a pattern that was engraved into the b-side of the second disc.]]>
The editors approached us with a desire for a front page which would make the magazine «jump off the shelves». With keywords being «explosive» and «colourful» we set about creating a collage using different kinds of distorted imagery. We were happy that the editors published their magazine without any faces on the cover.]]>
We were asked to design the concept for packaging and merchandise for the release, and decided to create a logo based on the greek letter Delta. The symbol works both as a D for Datarock and as an interesting shape for a diamond. To go with the symbol we came up with a concept that could be seen as a reference to both ancient greek mythology as well as american college fraternities.
The band loved the artwork, but fearing it would be too abstract for their anniversary collection, they decided to use it as a cover and booklet for their latest single «Catcher In The Rye».]]>
Our task was to create a complete visual identity for the conference. The main audience was international artists, curators and academics within the field of visual arts, as well as other visitors with an interest for the contemporary art scene. The identity is based around questions and uncertainty. Should there, or should there not be a biennial in Bergen? Nobody knows excactly where the biennial as a phenomenon is heading, and this is illustrated through the slogan «To biennial or not to biennial», and illustrations based on lines and shapes going in every possible direction.
The project was awarded silver in Identity Design during Visuelt 2010, and was exhibited at «Young Talent 2010», curated by the Norwegian Design Council.]]>
The visual concept represents Bergen quite literally by means of two stereotypic features of the city: Seven overlapping shapes can be viewed as raindrops, or as seven mountains – reduced and simplified to cone shapes.]]>
The band requested to use the visual languages of fashion and luxury goods, in combination with their easily recognizable silhouette and energetic live band footage. To emphasize the luxury feel, both the cover, inlay, booklet and band footage was highlighted with gloss varnish. As further play within the concept, the album is presented more like a brand than a band, «Red by Datarock».]]>
We were asked to participate in a campaign celebrating this legendary brand. Our poster was a homage to Californian modernism anno 1966, with clear references to David Hockney and the Dodgers.]]>
We were particularly satisfied with the photographic location, a forest still scared by the flames from the old stave church burned by local satanists in 1992.]]>
In the book, whose title roughly translates into «The Codes», he presents a selection of short stories filled with humour, surrealism and absurdity. For the cover illustrations we attempted to create a feeling of something familiar, yet strange and unidentifiable.]]>
We gave each cultural «genre», or chapter, its own color to be used in charts and graphs. On the middle spread, a landscape of pie charts shown in sizes relative to each other, gives an immediate visual impression of which cultural genre gets the least and most funding.]]>

One of the keys to the success of the Scouting program is trained volunteer leadership. Proper training doesn't happen by reading a book or attending every Scout meeting. The Theodore Roosevelt Council and it's four districts, have developed outstanding and dedicated training teams to help you, as a new leader, to deliver a program and calendar that will be exciting, educational and safe. That is their job!
When leaders understand the whys and how's of Scouting, they are more effective in their roles and their Scouts win!
Although training may not seem priority importance to you sometimes, it is very important to become trained not only from a legal standpoint but as your personal responsibility to your unit.
Taking training once does not make you trained forever. When you change your position in Scouting, you need to take the specific training for your new position.
For example, you are not a trained Den Leader, Cubmaster or Scoutmaster if you have only taken Pack/Troop Committee training and vice versa. Each specific training course helps you understand the unique needs of your new position.
Your Scouts deserve the best leader you can be. Take the full training course for your position and make your investment in Scouting count!

"One can't always believe artists; they often cover their tracks. They often dissemble and try to lead you in different directions. And often they only imperfectly understand their own work.

Great result really! No shame in being 3th there! I've probably asked this before (and i forgot), but how many more years do you plan on competing?
Another thing i was wondering about is, who is your "idol", what bodybuilder(s) of the past or this moment right now do you find inspirational? I mean, are you impressed by the physique of a Phil Heath or can someone like Serge Nubret inspire you more?

14 sts + 20 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in K1, p2 Rib. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog – 1 st decreased.
PATTERN STITCH K1, p2 Rib worked in rnds (worked over a multiple of 3 sts) Rnd 1: * K1, p2, rep from * around.
Rep Rnd 1 for K1, p2 rib worked in rnds.
Hat is worked in one piece in the round, beginning on a circular needle, then changing to double pointed needles when sts have been sufficiently decreased.
When knitting in the round on double pointed needles (dpns), your sts should be divided fairly evenly onto the needles.
When working with a set of 5 dpn, your sts should be divided among 4 needles.
The total number of sts will not always be evenly divisible by the number of dpns that you are using – this is not a problem! Simply divide your sts as evenly as possible, you will still create a symmetrical 'tube' of knitting.
HAT With circular needle, cast on 69 sts.
Place marker for beg of rnd.

How does working out during the workday influence productivity? This Gist infographic reveals that even brief sweat sessions can boost employees' work performance and mood.
Researchers at Leeds Metropolitan University in the U.K. studied 200 workers who spent 30 to 60 minutes during their lunch hour doing aerobics, lifting weights, doing yoga or playing pick-up basketball and discovered that 60 percent had better mental performance, time management skills and ability to meet deadlines. Importantly, the employees who exercised also reported feeling more even-tempered and energetic at work.
"After exercise, people adopted a more tolerant attitude to themselves and to their work," said Leeds professor Jim McKenna, the study's author. "They were more tolerant of their own shortcomings and to those of others."
The Gist infographic also includes tips for employees who choose to exercise during the workday. What do you think of working out during your lunch hour?

I used to use macports.. awhile ago.. I finally for other reasons uninstalled it.
Now.. fully gone/cleaned up/nothong of it on the system..
if I download Mysql isntall package.. or try to use homebrew.. anything.. on startup I get:
s:~ rs$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql
110707 21:52:47 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/rs.local.err'.

110707 21:52:48 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /usr/local/mysql/data/rs.local.pid ended
What on planet earth is having a downloaded from the mysql main site.. having it "look at" /opt/local (macports land)
I can't figure out WHY it would ever want to look at /opt/local if it is the downloaded mysql etc etc
I basically can't, with homebrew or a mysql.com downoad/install package.. ever get and start mysql.

A sex tape supposedly of Call Me Maybe singer Carly Rae Jepsen hit the Internet earlier this week, but the singer has already denied shes the woman getting busy in the footage. The clip features a young lady with similar bangs rocking out to Katy Perrys E.T. and engaging in some sexual escapades.
Screen shots found their way online via Perez Hilton, but Jepsen took to her Twitter to call BS on her being involved with the hanky panky. Heres a look at what she had to say
Crazy morning. Discovered that someone put up a sex tape claiming to be me. Ridiculous. Obviously not me.
The chick in the video definitely would win a Carly Rae Jepsen lookalike contest, but based on the pop stars reaction, I think its unlikely shes actually the one getting frisky. If she were, her lawyers would have probably sent a cease and desist letter, or she would have denied the story by some other means than a flippant statement on Twitter. Plus, she doesnt exactly strike many as the sex tape type.
More than likely, this story will slowly trickle away over the next few days. The Internet is filled with plenty of lookalike sex tapes, and once theyre proven to be hoaxes, people typically dont care anymore. If the rumors linger, however, expect a more formal denial. Well keep you updated.

If I write a python script, anyone can simply point an editor to it and read it. But for programming written in C, one would have to use decompilers and hex tables and such. Why is that? I mean I simply can't open up the Safari web browser and look at its code.
Note: The author disavows a deep expertise in this subject. Some assertions may be incorrect.
Python actually is compiled into bytecode, which is what gets run by the python interpreter. Whenever you use a Python module, Python will generate a
So if you want something to disassemble, the
The process that Python goes through when compiling a module is pretty similar to what
So really your question is "Why are python programs distributed as source rather than as compiled modules?" Or, put another way, "Why are C applications distributed as compiled binaries rather than as source code?"
It used to be very common for C applications to be distributed as source code. This was back before operating systems and their various subentities (i.e. linux distributions) became more established. Some distros, for example gentoo, still distribute apps as source code. Apps which are a bit more cutting edge or obscure are still distributed as source code for all platforms they target.
The reason for this is compatibility, and dependencies. The reason you can run the precompiled binary Safari on a Mac, or Firefox on Ubuntu Linux, is because it's been specifically built for that operating system, architecture (e.g. x86_64), and set of libraries.
Unfortunately, compilation of a large app is pretty slow, and needs to be redone at least partially every time the app is updated. Thus the motivation for binary distributions.
So why not create a binary distribution of Python? For one thing, as Aaron mentions, modules would need to be recompiled for each new version of the Python bytecode. But this would be similar to rebuilding a C app to link with a newer version of a dynamic library — Python modules are analogous in this sense to C libraries.
The real reason is that Python compilation is very much quicker than C compilation. This is in part, I think, because of the dynamic nature of the language, and also because it's not as thorough of a compilation. This has its tradeoffs: in particular, Python apps run much more slowly than do their C counterparts, because Python has to interpret the compiled bytecode into instructions for the processor, whereas the C app already contains such instructions.
That all being said, there is a program called py2exe that will take a Python module and distribution and build a precompiled windows executable, including in it the logic of the module and its dependencies, including Python itself. I guess the point of this is to avoid having to coerce people into installing Python on their Windows system just to run your app. Under linux, or I think even OS/X, Python is usually already installed, so precompilation is not really necessary. Linux systems also have super-dandy package managers that will transparently install dependencies such as Python if they are not already installed.
Python is a script language, runs in a virtual machine through an interpeter. C is a compiled language, the code compiled to binary code which the computer can run without all that extra stuff Python needs.
This is sorta a big topic. You should look into your local friendly Computer Science curriculum, you'll find a lot of great stuff on this subject there.
The short answer is the Python is an "interpreted" language, which means that it requires a machine language program (the python interpreter) to run the python program, adding a layer of indirection. C or C++ are different. They are compiled directly to machine code, which runs directly on your processor.
There is a lot of additional voodoo to be learned here, however. Technically Python is compiled to a bytecode, and modern interpreters do more and more "Just in Time" compilation, so the boundaries between compiled and interpreted code are getting fuzzier all the time.
In several comments you asked: "Is it then possible to compile python to an executable binary file and then simply distribute that?"
From a theoretical viewpoint, there's no question the answer is yes -- a Python program could be compiled to, and distributed as, fully compiled machine code.
From a practical viewpoint, it's open to a lot more question. There are a few things like Unladen Swallow, Psyco, Shed Skin, and PyPy that you might want to know about though.
Bottom line: work has been done and is being done with the intent of doing what you asked about, but at least to my knowledge there's not really anything I could reasonably recommend as a finished product that you can really depend on to do the job right now. The primary emphasis is really on execution speed, not producing standalone executables.
Yes, you can - it's called disassembling, and allows you to look at the code of Safari perfectly well. The thing is, C, among other languages, compiles to native code, i.e. code that your CPU can "understand" and execute.
More or less obviously, the level of abstraction present in the instruction set of your CPU is much smaller than that of a high level language like Python. The CPU instructions are not concerned with "downloading that URI", but more "check if that bit is set in a hardware register".
So, in conclusion, the level of complexity present in a native application is much higher when looking at the machine code, so many people simply can't make any sense of what is going on there, it's hard to get the big picture. With experience and time at your hands, it is possible though - people do it all the time, reversing applications and all.
you can't open up and read the code that actually runs for python either. Try
That will show you the (human readable) bytcode of the
The reason for the difference is that python changes up it's byte code between releases so that you would either need to distribute a different version of a binary only release for each version of python. This would be a pain.
With C, it's compiled to native code and so the byte code is much more stable making binary only releases possible.
because C code is complied to object (machine) code and python code is compiled into an intermediate byte code. I am not sure if you are even referring to the byte code of python - you must be referring to the source file itself which is directly executable (hiding the byte code from you!). C needs to be compiled and linked.
Not all C programs require decompilers. There's lots of C code distributed in source form. And some Python programs do require decompilers, if distributed as bytecode (.pyc files).
But, to the extent that your assumptions are valid, it's because C is a compiled language while Python is an interpreted language.
Python scripts are analogous to a man looking at a to-do list written in English (or language he understands). The man has to do all the work, every time that list of things has to be done.
If the man, instead of doing the steps on his own each time, creates and programs a robot which can carry out those steps again and again (and probably faster than him), that robot is analogous to the C program.
The man in the python case is called the "interpreter" and in the C case is called the "compiler", and the C robot is called the compiled program/executable.
When you look at the python program source, you see the to-do list. In case of the robot, you see the gears, motors and batteries, etc, which look very different from the to-do list. If you could get hold of the C "to-do" list, it looks somewhat like the python code, just in a different language.
G-WAN executes ANSI C scripts on the fly -making it just like Python scripts.
This can be server-side scripts (using G-WAN as a Web server) or any general-purpose C program and you can link any existing library.
Oh, and G-WAN C scripts are much faster than Python, PHP or Java...

Of that group of children, the study found that "safety errors are highest in children aged 4 to 7 years" and that booster seats, specifically, are often the apparatus that is most used inaccurately.Safety firstHealth Canada reports that one of the leading causes of death for children and youth is motor vehicle injuries. Using a booster seat when your child outgrows his or her car seat is an essential part of keeping kids safe when they are passengers in a car. Some provinces and territories legislate the use of a booster seat until the child reaches a certain height and weight, though others, such as Alberta, Saskatchewan and the North Western Territories do not.This, "despite the fact that children needing an interim booster seat to protect them in a motor vehicle accident is evidence based," says Kristen Gane, the program manager of injury prevention programs at Parachute Canada, a charitable organization dedicated to injury prevention. Children are "three times more likely to be seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident when not in a booster seat," says Gane. In fact, "30 per cent of Canadian children under four foot, nine inches are not using booster seats, which leaves an estimated 1.8 million Canadian kids unprotected," she adds.Proper booster seat useTo ensure that you properly transition your child from a car seat to a booster seat, there are a few things to keep in mind.For one, "parents expect that installing a booster seat will be more complicated than it is, but a booster seat is aptly named. It raises the height of a child in the seat so that the lap and shoulder belts can properly hold the child in the correct place," says Gane. Using a booster seat is very simple, she explains, and this simplicity "sometimes leads to the misunderstanding that it is not necessary." 1 2

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -- In this economy, Rachell Goldberg keeps track of what goes on the table. But she's also got her eye on how much energy her family consumes.
"We think about it everyday," says the Silver Spring mother of four.
Especially since Pepco wants to raise rates for Maryland homeowners by 2.5 percent. The power company says it needs the money to maintain it's poles and wires under increasing strain, in part, because of our voracious appetite for energy zapping technology.
Energy expert Reuven Walder says, "the devices that we're using today, some of them, are using excessive amounts of electricity."
Turns out your plasma television is one big juice box.
Walder's home energy company, Ecobeco, is about to tell you how much you'll pay to drink up some of your favorite shows.
"This tv being on for about four or five hours a day would cost $48. At the proposed rate, it would be approximately $55.50."
And, that's just for one television. Wait until you hear about your cable box.
"With the cable box turned on, this device uses about $35 a year. Compared to $30 when it's off," says Walder.
Either way, you pay.
If you think a space heater will help you cut that cold weather bill, consider what Rachell's family pays to warm up one room for eight hours over four months.
"That's costing her about $133 per season."
Walder says a smart strip can cut your electric costs, but the biggest way to save is to cut your energy ingestion.
"That will really help your bills. And, hopefully, it will help you delay the need to raise our rates."
Walder says if you do purchase new devices, look for an Energy Star seal to help you save.
Goldberg says, she's ready to make changes.
"It makes you think twice about unplugging the appliances or putting on another sweater instead of turning the heater on."

Former Superintendent of Toms River Regional School District and Insurance Broker Ordered to Pay $4.3 Million in Restitution
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 20, 2012
TRENTON—Michael J. Ritacco, the former superintendent for the Toms River, New Jersey, Regional School District, and Francis X. Gartland, the former insurance broker for the Toms River Regional School District, have been ordered to pay $4,336,987.91 in restitution to the school district, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Frank D'Alonzo, the former supervisor of Athletics and Special Projects for the School District, was ordered to pay $1,625,952.79 in restitution.
Ritacco, 64, of Seaside Heights, New Jersey; Gartland, 71, of Baltimore, Maryland; and D'Alonzo, 55, of Lavallette, New Jersey, all previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Joel A. Pisano in Trenton federal court to charges relating to a bribery and kickback scheme involving themselves and other conspirators, including Frank Cotroneo.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
The bribery and kickback scheme spanned 2002 to 2010, during which time Ritacco accepted $1 million to $2 million in bribes and other benefits from the conspirators in return for Ritacco's official action and influence in order for Gartland to obtain and maintain insurance contracts at the school district. Ritacco and Gartland were each sentenced to 135 months in prison and D'Alonzo was sentenced to 37 months in prison.
As part of their plea agreements, Ritacco, Gartland, and D'Alonzo agreed to make restitution. Following a hearing on December 12, 2012, Judge Pisano yesterday issued an opinion in which the court concluded that the school district was "unquestionably" the victim of the defendants bribery and kickback scheme and determined the loss from the fraud scheme was $4,336,987.91. The loss consisted of excess money the district paid to Gartland and his entities, which were then passed to Ritacco as bribes, derived from the district's health insurance coverage and worker's compensation program. Ritacco and Gartland were ordered to pay the full amount of the school district's loss, jointly and severally, while D'Alonzo was ordered to pay a portion of the loss consistent with the years in which he was involved actively in the criminal scheme.
In addition to ordering restitution, the court also ordered that Gartland forfeit to the United States a sum of $11 million, which represented all proceeds derived from the fraudulent scheme. D'Alonzo also was ordered to forfeit a sum of $4.3 million, which represented the proceeds derived from the scheme while he was an active participant. Prior to his sentencing on September 14, 2012, Ritacco forfeited to the United States $1 million, a 2010 Mercedes Benz, and $8,950 in cash.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward; and IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Shantelle P. Kitchen, for the investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dustin Chao, Harvey Bartle, and Lee M. Cortes, Jr. of the U.S. Attorney's Office Special Prosecutions Division.

Anja´s Catfight Gang No. 20
Hey guys,
here is the 2nd video from our trilogy (ACG-19 to ACG-21) and we salute an absolute greenhorn for her entrance in our fightclub: Please welcome Bianka.
Bianka first came to just have a look. You can see that on another tape. Here you will see Bianka`s first "Extreme Catfight". Nadine and Nicole have not spared her at all!
Reckon Bianka will ever work with us again? – she asked for two weeks time to think it over and when all the bruises have gone she might be back�
1. Bianka vs Nadine - Cam 1 (12:09 mins)
Nadine Has already fought one Extreme Catfight with Nicole. She was aware of how painful it could become and she knew how tough she would be on Bianka. Though, Nadine underestimated the very quick and agile Bianka in the first!
Bianka was like a tornado unstopable and always on the top. Nadine pulled hair, pinched breasts and even bit into Bianka`s behind but it all did not help much!
VOD: 1 Bianka vs Nadine
2. Bianka vs Nadine - Cam 2 (11:59 mins)
The 2nd camera gives evident of the brutality of this fight, it showes why Nadine had shrieked aloud on several occasions: Bianka pulled at her pussy! She did not only pull but she actually skrewed them up - OUCH!
Now I realise that pussy pulling or biting the butt were the only arms Bianka had at her disposal. Bianka`s breasts were obviously much more delicate than Nadine`s and therefore Bianka had no interest in any breast pulling duell. Might Bianka win this though?
VOD: 2 Bianka vs Nadine
3. Bianka vs Nicole - Cam 1 (11:58 mins)
I think Bianka was well aware that she could not win this. She also knew that there was even more pain to come, but not this much more!
Her strategy, pulling pussy, which she had used successfully against Nadine did not help her against Nicole, though, no matter how long she pulled (at) the labia.
Then Bianka tried to tackle the breasts. She gripped them tightly with both hands and skrewed Nicole`s tits which was painful indeed but Nicole fought back even meaner, poor Bianka!
VOD: 3 Bianka vs Nicole
4. Bianka vs Nicole - Cam 2 (11:20 mins)
The 2nd viewpoint gives a much clearer expression of what happend during the fight, than cam 1 that made me feel like Bianka was torturing Nicole all the time. This was not the case, in fact it was Nicole, as usual, who ruled the fight.
And cam 2 shows clearly that Nicole lets Bianka get away with an unhurt pussy.
After all, Bianka was a good sparring partner but no true opponent for Nicole, let`s be honest, we do not have any true opponents for Nicole save Bambi and Anja!
VOD: 4 Bianka vs Nicole
ACG-20 complete / komplett
Even though things are not quite as brutal as last time between Anja and Nicole, we still can say that Nadine and greenhorn Bianka showed a very proper fight.
Stick to us, Bianka!

Lydia Loveless finds inspiration in real-life characters
Lydia Loveless
With Sasha Colette & The Magnolias
WHERE: V-Club, 741 6th Ave., Huntington
WHEN: 10 p.m. Saturday
INFO: 304-781-0680 or www.vclublive.com
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Ohio-born singer/songwriter Lydia Loveless has never actually met Steve Earle, but that hasn't stopped her from penning a song telling the Texas alt-country star to keep his distance.
"Steve Earle" is on "Indestructible Machine," Loveless's latest record. The 21-year-old, who performs Saturday at the V-Club in Huntington said, well, to be absolutely clear, the song isn't actually about the real Steve Earle.
"It's about a guy in Columbus," Loveless explained. "He's actually my next-door neighbor who likes to have really public fights with his girlfriend."
But before he was Loveless's neighbor, he was just a lurker who came to shows in Columbus and tried to meet her because he'd read about her in the local paper.
"The journalist had tried to portray me as a drunken badass," she said, which appealed to the man who would eventually become her neighbor.
He told Loveless, "You seem really cool, and we should write songs together. I'm the Steve Earle of Columbus."
This seemed kind of doubtful to Loveless. Instead, her Steve Earle is just another vaguely seedy character, part of the hard-drinking, hard-lucked and hardheaded company she keeps or simply watches from a safe distance.
Loveless likes writing songs about characters.
"Some of what I write is autobiographical," she said. "But I've known a lot of people who are pretty messed up."
Some days, she's her own favorite subject.
"I'm always looking to make my life a certain way so I'll have something to write about," she admitted.
Sometimes, she said, she'll exaggerate conflict with who she's dating. Relationships are always fertile ground for songwriting.
"But I'm not always the nicest person because of that."
Loveless said she's moving away from writing so much about herself and her personal life and is trying to focus more on the lives of others.
"I'd say my last album was more personal," she said. "This is less about me."
For her, the trick to writing about other people is simply to pay attention. Loveless said she keeps a journal, which she writes in every day.
"I'm always taking notes," she laughed. "It's a very self-absorbed process."
From her journal, she picks out the best parts. A lot of it has a ragged, world-weary quality to it.
"I wish I was better at writing funny things," she said.
But finding something to write about is seldom difficult for her. Sometimes, it lives right next-door.

Implemented in the newly-released LTC3300, the topology uses one fly-back transformer per cell and allows energy to be passed anywhere up and down stacks of up to 96 cells, with excellent efficiency.
"We think this is the first time this topology has been employed. Any number of cells can be charged and discharged at the same time obliviously to one another," Sam Nork, director of Linear Tech's Boston design centre, told Electronics Weekly. "The nice thing about this approach is that it is independent of cell voltage. It can take charge from a selected cell and re-distribute to 12 or more neighbouring cells, or take charge from neighbouring cells and directly charge a single cell."
Conceptually, the firm divides the stack into blocks of six cells (see diagram), with each block allocated a single 3300 that controls switches in the primary and secondary of each cell's transformer.
By appropriately timing the two switches, the transformer can fly-back energy in either direction.
Cell 1 is being charged from the cell 1-12 stack, while excess charge in cell 6 is being delivered to the same stack.
What makes universal energy transfer possible, is that the secondaries (in parallel) are not just wired across the block concerned, but are wired across the series combination of the block and the block above (see diagram). This means blocks are interleaved. For example, the LTC3300 charging or discharging individual cells 7-12, takes or delivers energy to cells 7-18 in series.
Interleaving allows energy from any cell to be delivered to any other.
"You can figure out where all charge is going to providing you know cell voltages, balance currents, transfer efficiency, and how the cells are connected," said Nork. "You have to figure out the state of charge and capacity of each cell, after that, it is all maths."
Two serial busses, one to the 3300 above and one to the 3300 below, allow data to be transferred along the whole battery.
Voltage monitoring is via separate chips, which are available from several manufacturers.
Why not add voltage monitoring to the 3300? "We chose not to have multi-amp switching on the same silicon as precision ADCs," said Nork.
The firm has built a demonstrator that can handle 5A of balancing current.
"Efficiency quite good, 92% in both directions," said Nork.
The transformers are around 15mm across and straightforward. "This topology does not require a high turns ratio. Basically you are building a 48V:4V transformer. We have used 2:1 turns ratio, with around 10µH of winding inductance."
Effective operating frequency is 200kHz," This is a sweet-spot," said Nork. "You can probably double it, but there is an efficiency trade-off."
Why balance cells
The batteries of electric and hybrid cars have long strings of cells – up to a hundred lithium ion cells, for example – which could be charged and discharged from the two end terminals if only identical cells were available.
However, normal manufacturing tolerances are enough to prevent this strategy working. Li-ion cells are the extreme case as, due to their 1% charge voltage regulation requirement and unpleasant over-charge characteristic, not even two cells can be charged in series without some additional control.
During charging, lower capacity cells become full first, and are damaged by over-charging should the remaining cells be charged.
Accurate per-cell voltage monitoring allows a switch, usually a mosfet, to bypass current around full cells through a resistor.
This passive balancing allows the whole battery to be 100% charged without damage, at the expense of heat generation as cells are by-passed.
During discharge, lower capacity cells are depleted first, and permanently damaged if they are Li-ion cells dragged below 2.5V.
Passive balancing cannot help here, so dc-dc converters – either inductive or switched-capacitor – can be employed to pass energy to the depleted cell from healthier parts of the battery. This is active balancing and allows 100% of battery capacity to be used, as well as cutting heat dissipation when used in reverse during charging.

Jimmie Riddle and the Lost Art of Eephing
An Eephing Tutorial
An Eephing Sampler
The eccentric Southern tradition of "eephing" is best described as the hillbilly equivalent of the hip-hop human "beat box" vocal style — a kind of hiccupping, rhythmic wheeze that started in rural Tennessee more than 100 years ago.
Just like human beat-box artists of the 1980s rendered perfect imitations of drum machines with their mouths, the original eephers of the 1880s imitated the hogs and turkeys living in their backyards.
The odd music genre — variously spelled "eefing," "eeephing" or "eeefing" — appealed to a young Memphis producer named Sam Phillips, who recorded "Swamp Root" as one of his first singles. It didn't really catch on, but another of Phillips' offbeat performers — a fellow named Elvis Presley — would.
Eephing jumping into the spotlight again in 1963, when singer Joe Perkins had a minor hit with "Little Eeefin' Annie," featuring the vocal skills of Jimmie Riddle, the acknowledged master of the genre. The song's popularity catapulted both Perkins and eephing onto the Billboard charts, where the song peaked at number 76.
Eephing finally had its day in the sun when in 1969 CBS launched Hee Haw, a country response to NBC's Laugh-In, featuring Jimmie Riddle as part of an eephin' and hambonin' act.

Artist of Science Makes His Return
Ross Bleckner Opens Show After 5-Year Exhibition Hiatus
During a 40-year-career, the artist Ross Bleckner has found inspiration for his paintings by meditating on humanity's quest to understand our bodies and the wider scientific world.
"I study science from an artist's point of view," he said, cuddling his dog Winston on the couch at his Chelsea studio. "It's a fascination: How do you maintain that sense, when you were a kid, and you looked out at the stars and you wondered, 'What's this all about?' To be able to hold on to that even a little bit through your life is a great starting point."
After a five-year exhibition hiatus, Mr. Bleckner, who turns 65 in May, shows his latest work Saturday at Mary Boone Gallery's Chelsea location. The exhibition, on view through April 26, features 15 large-scale paintings that he has completed since summer 2012.
They feature medical imagery, constellations and flowers, "a continuation of ideas that have continually come up in my work," he said, "ideas that I've gone back to, but in different ways, because you only have so many ideas."
Two of the new works, titled "ALP30" and "Strange Sister," depict the brain scans of people with schizophrenia and Alzheimer's. Another, called "(In)Security," shows human eyes of various colors that appear to pop out from behind the canvas, creating in viewers the effect of being looked at while looking.
"What's behind the surface of a painting? It's all the artist's subjectivity," said Mr. Bleckner of the piece.
Ms. Boone called Mr. Bleckner "an artist's artist" whose work has influenced several others, including Peter Schuyff, Philip Taaffe and the late Moira Dryer.
The two have a long history together, first meeting in 1973 when Ms. Boone was working as a secretary at Bykert Gallery. "He wanted to show his slides to my boss, who was at lunch, so he showed them to me," Ms. Boone said.
She began exhibiting his work in 1977. "To have that sense of history with her is important," said Mr. Bleckner. The new works are priced at roughly $100,000 to $150,000.
Outside his work as an artist, Mr. Bleckner is involved in several organizations, including the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America, aka Acria; the artist-activism group A Blade of Grass; and the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care.
He credits Acria with bringing him "an understanding of the body through the work of scientists and doctors that I never would have had," he said. "What you do outside your studio, and bringing it into your studio, and vice versa, that's a really important dynamic."
Because his canvases are heavily layered with several coats of paint, Mr. Bleckner works on several paintings at once, meaning his ideas often mutate throughout the process.
"I thought I would have a show with paintings that do look different, that represent the actual, different philosophical registers that your mind goes through when you're thinking in your studio," he said. "It doesn't always stay on the same stroke, the same image, the same way of working."
Ms. Boone operates galleries in Chelsea and at 745 Fifth Ave., just north of 57th Street, but Mr. Bleckner opted for the downtown outpost. "Let's face it," he said, "I go uptown when I go to the dentist, period."
