›› Video: Cirque du Soleil: Quidam sets up at Don Haskins Center
If you're thinking about going to see Cirque du Soleil's "Quidam" this weekend at the Don Haskins Center - and, really, you should go - you might want to consider buying seats a few rows off the floor. Maybe more than a few.
Unless, that is, you want to be part of the show.
Christina Oswald wasn't looking to do that during Wednesday's opening night performance, the first of eight through Sunday at the UTEP arena. But a bowler-hatted character had other plans.
Appropriately named The Clown, he summoned good sport Oswald from her seat in the first row off the floor, handed her a fake rose and had her sit in a chair next to him to engage in a childlike bit of play acting.
They pantomimed riding in a bumpy car. But when he backed it up, turned on some sexy bump-and-grind music on the radio, opened the sunroof to a moonlit night and handed her a few drinks, it became obvious that what The Clown had in mind wasn't child's play.
Oswald wanted none of his amorous intentions, as I'm sure most women don't when they get called to the stage for this bit of old-school circus chicanery. This is a family show, after all, so The Clown gave up, teasing her blonde hair into a ratty mess, then tricking her into a goodbye kiss.
It was one of the lighter moments in an often mesmerizing, occasionally thrilling and very busy two-hour show that alternates between the dark and the light. "Quidam," first staged under the big top in 1996, throws a lot as you as it tells a simple, human story about a child's need to dream, and their parents' responsibility to be involved in their lives.
You might think Oswald was in on the act, since she used to work for UTEP's Special Events office and now works for the company that manages the Plaza Theatre. "I actually wasn't. Totally random," she texted later from her seat, after restoring some order to her hair. "It was fun! Also fun not to have to work a show."
The 50 or so performers in "Quidam" did have to work very hard to earn the applause, laughs, oohs, aahs and assorted gasps from the smallish crowd, a surprisingly low turnout for the Montreal-based company that brought the circus arts into the modern age.
The arena, which is dominated by the "Quidam" stage, can seat about 3,500 per show, but only had about 2,000 people, if that, for opening night. Venue officials said Cirque staff wouldn't release the actual attendance figure, a sure sign that they were disappointed by the turnout.
Cirque drew 30,000 for "Alegria" in late 2010, the company's first trip to El Paso, and 34,000 when it returned with "Dralion" last February. Maybe three shows in less than three years is a little much for a growing market. A UTEP Special Events staffer said the troupe probably won't be back before 2015. Maybe local audiences will get a little hungry by then.
Each Cirque show has its own character, and "Quidam" takes its cues from the creators' pre-millennial concerns that we'd grown too far apart as a society. The Father wears a business suit and buries his head in the newspaper (which happened to be a copy of the El Paso Times on opening night). Mother sits by complicitly as bored little Zoe encounters Quidam, a headless, thus anonymous figure in an overcoat, with a blue bowler hat and umbrella.
She puts on the hat, ushering in a world of imagination where the kids take over, including a mischievious clown named John, a gravity-defying guy who spins around in a large metal hoop (called the German Wheel), a contorting aerialist, and an almost elfin guy who made spinning, tossing and catching up to three large yo-yos, called diabolos, look easy. Only the jump ropers, with one noticeably gifted exception, had obvious problems.
That was just the show's first half. The second felt much faster, and was more spellbinding. That included a mesmerizing act called the Statue, a muscular man in what looked like a gray Speedo and equally cut bikini-clad woman who climbed on top of him until her legs were pointed straight in the air, the back of her neck balancing on the back of his.
They slowly, silently moved into one logic-defying position after another, the spare, wind-like accompaniment providing the perfect soundtrack. At one point, he lay on his side as she held herself aloft by a single hand, positioned just above his hip. At another, she leaned back, her back parallel to the stage, holding him off the ground as he jackknifed his feet above her chest.
The Cloud Swing is a single female trapeze-style artist, the only act with a safety line, who swung back and forth on a rope, doing spins, stands and somersaults. At one point, she fell forward, catching herself by the ankles, rose up and fell backward, catching herself by them again. It was the kind of stuff that made your palms sweat.
In between that was another comedy bit in which The Clown pulled four people - three men and one woman - from the seats near the stage and directed them in a tawdry little movie about a guy who catches his girl in the arms of another man. The laughs, of course, came from making them act all this melodrama out.
The finale was the Banquine, a gymnastic act rooted in the Middle Ages, in which 15 performers execute a series of stunts, including leaps and spins, the most wrenching of which came near the end when a tiny woman in white was propelled high into the air, landing on the shoulders of a guy stacked on top of another guy stacked on top of another.
A woman near me gasped "Oh, God!," when it became apparent what was about to happen.
"Quidam" may have a funny name, and it's certainly got some funny moments, but it uses the threat of eminent danger to marvel the kid inside us all. It's a heavier, busier contrast to the more ethereal and beautiful "Alegria," which Franco Dragone also directed.
Dominique Lemieux's costumes capture both the whimsy and sorrow of these child-like figures, many costumes drawn from the '20s and '30s, a new-school show's acknowledgement of its old-school roots.
Michael Crete's larger-than-life stage inventively uses five long, aluminum arms, called telepheriques, that stretch from the back of the staging area to the front of the crowd. They allow the imaginary characters, from aerialists to a trio of specters that hover over the Statue, to move back and forth in a kind of airy choreography.
It's all set to an exotic world music score by Benoit Jutras that adds to the sense of mystery with otherworldly voices (which bounced nicely around the superlative sound system) and strains of Arabic, French chanson, rock, jazz and ambient music.
Like other Cirque shows, "Quidam" takes you to a highly imaginative and imaginary world. You should go. But you might want to think twice about where you want to sit.
"Quidam" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1 and 5 p.m. Sunday at the Don Haskins Center. Tickets range from $35 to $95, $28-$76 for children 2-12, $31.50-$85.50 for students, seniors and military, with discounts for family four-packs, at the UTEP Ticket Center, Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com and 800-745-3000.

Over the last 2 years, I have been involved in a lot of user testing here at Adobe. The documentation group has been investigating how to modify our Help content, including Community Help, to make it easier for users to find what they are looking for, and help them avoid getting lost on the wrong path. We observed users having difficulties both on adobe.com and before they ever got there. I'd like to share some thoughts about how both adobe.com and community content can be more effective.
Things we've seen about Flash learners who are searching for content:
- They don't necessarily have an overview of the product yet in their mind. They may have a grasp of drawing on the Stage, but not of how to use the Timeline. They might know about movie clips but not graphic symbols.
- They don't know which tasks in Flash require ActionScript and which do not. They may click on a tutorial that uses ActionScript without realizing there are plenty of tutorials for the same basic task that don't use AS.
- They don't know that the ActionScript versions are incompatible with each other. They are prone to try using bits of ActionScript from different tutorials that may not be compatible with one another.
- They are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of learning material about Flash available on the web. This is compounded by the amount of content that is very out of date but still live on the web.
- Users want to spend a minimum of time figuring things out and maximum actually getting work done. This cannot be overstated.
- Most users are not very good at using search engines. Long, natural-language search strings that yield incoherent results are common.
- They often have a desire to find a tutorial or article that provides the perfect answer to their specific question on its first page. They believe this exists because of the sheer volume of content available. They search and search for this magic bullet. However, they often leave articles that directly address their question because they can't tell immediately how relevant it is.
All these things lead to a very high occurrence of users spending time in content that is inappropriate to their need, and combining steps from tutorials that are not compatible with one another.
One thing we shouldn't do is try to explain everything about Flash Pro in every tutorial we write. But we can take some steps to put our tutorials into a clearer context for the learner.
I propose a convention that creators of teaching content could adopt in order to make it easier for users to identify the right tutorials for their immediate needs. I don't expect everyone to agree right away with all of the elements of this proposal, but I hope to start a conversation that might allow us to come to some consensus on something that will give users a more consistent experience of finding the right content.
Here are some guidelines for making your content more useful and identifiable as relevant. Provide the following information up front at the beginning of each article, tutorial, or video:
- Explain what the tutorial will show, both at a high level and at a lower level. Be clear what you are showing and not showing. Are you showing motion tweens or classic tweens, button symbols or movie clips, TLF text or classic text?
I.E. High level: Motion tweens. Low level: make a movie clip instance move across the screen with a motion tween and fade from invisible to visible.
Note from Phillip Kerman: It's not that this list needs to be cumulative, but simply inclusive of the various things that will be shown. Often if you think about what you've written, you realize you've shown much more in all the little steps than just what you set out to.
- List the user level, say, Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.
- List any prerequisite knowledge the tutorial requires. Ideally, link to an item that gives an introduction to that area of knowledge.
For example, a tutorial about motion tweens might list knowledge of how the timeline works as a prerequisite.
- List whether the tutorial uses ActionScript
- List whether the workflows or tasks shown require ActionScript or not
i.e. this can be done with or without AS". Or "This task requires ActionScript"
- List which version of ActionScript is being shown.
Most newer users don't realize that AS 2 and AS3 are not compatible, and assume all AS snippets can be combines with each other.
- Indicate which version of Flash the Tutorial is compatible with. At least start with the version used to create the tutorial, and then update as you are able for subsequent versions. Be clear whether you are talking about Flash Pro, Flash Catalyst, or Flash Builder.
- If you are creating a video tutorial, provide a list of the specific tasks shown the video, along with the time codes where each item occurs in the video so that the user can scrub to the appropriate time code to see the item they are most interested in. (Example in my comment on this page: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-downunder/motion-tweening/) Ideally, roll this list into a SWF that allows the user to simply click an item in the list to jump to that part of the video. (See how to implement this here http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-flash-professional-cs5/working-with-video-cue-points-and-live-preview/.)
For example, a written tutorial about animation:
Motion Tweening in Flash Pro
Items covered: Animate a movie clip symbol instance across the stage, add a fade (alpha) animation.
Flash version(s): Flash Professional CS4, CS5
User Level: Beginner
Prerequisite knowledge: Understanding of how to use the Timeline, knowledge of symbols and instances
ActionScript Required? No. However, task can also be accomplished via ActionScript 3.0.
ActionScript Used? No.
If we as a community were to adopt these conventions, we could accomplish 2 important things. The first and most obvious is making our own content easier to find and easier to consume. The second is that we would begin to move the body of Flash Pro community learning content from its current state, where it amounts to a huge amount of noise to new users, to a new improved state where it more closely approximates a distributed user manual, with context for each item, cross-references to related content, etc. I'm not saying "let's make a distributed manual", but if we were to adopt these basic conventions, we could move in that direction over time to the benefit of all of us.
Please let me know in the Comments what you think of these ideas and what your suggestions are for fleshing them out.

One habit that most housewives in the societies of ignorance could not live without is what they call their "day out," when they meet together with friends for a meal. Surely it is a blessing for a person to come together with her friends and host them. However, it is very important that these gatherings become the times during which love and respect are expressed, friendships are solidified, and the name of Allah is remembered. However, they turn out to be meetings in which just a contrary morality is displayed. Usually at such gatherings, it is sufficient for women of the ignorant society to lift their spirits merely to receive a compliment about a cake they baked, but, if their husbands do not give them permission to attend one of these meetings, they would stay miserable for weeks. This demonstrates just how petty and narrow is the world of these people in question. The kind of conversation, and other things that happen during this kind of meeting, is far from being of any use to them for the Afterlife. In fact, such meetings usually draw them towards this world. Instead of reminding them about the world to come, the greatness of Allah Who created all things, and to live according to the moral standards commanded in the Qur'an, these meetings are full of idle chatter, arguments and banal criticisms. They do not judge what is good about each other according to the Qur'an; on the contrary, their praise for one another is usually insincere, far removed from their genuine convictions. They do not judge others according to how well they practice the moral teachings of the Qur'an.
Usually, among the more important topics talked in these gatherings is either gossip or what happened on the last episode of a television soap opera, or sharing recipes.
However, if the same meeting were composed of individuals that feared Allah, and were making their preparations for the Afterlife, then their conversation would instead be edifying and good for everyone. Believers are commanded in the Qur'an to refrain from idle talk, and non-productive activities, but to spend every moment towards doing something useful and thinking about how they may be helpful to others. This is emphasized in the following verses:
[T]hose who turn away from worthless talk. (Surat al-Muminun, 3)
[T]hose who do not bear false witness and who, when they pass by worthless talk, pass by with dignity. (Surat al-Furqan, 72)
When they hear worthless talk they turn away from it and say, "We have our actions and you have your actions. Peace be upon you. We do not desire the company of the ignorant." (Surat al-Qasas, 55)2012-01-21 01:47:06

Residents of a Chessington street have been driven mad by potholes, and have called on Kingston Council to sort out the problem.
The craters, several inches deep, reveal old concrete paving beneath the newer tarmac.
Bolton Close resident Kim Chapman said: "The residents down the road are all fed up.
"We've put up with the filling in of the holes now for about the last ten years.
"They don't even fill them in now. They get a guy from the council who comes down every two weeks.
"It's absolutely shocking."
A Kingston Council spokesman said: "Resurfacing of Bolton Close had to be rescheduled from last autumn due to gas repair works in the area.
"The work is due to be done later this month, weather permitting."

Yaniv Brandvain
From OpenWetWare
About me
Brief biographical sketch
Born in Jerusalem and raised in metro Detroit, I received my MA from the College of the Atlantic in 2004. While there, I worked with Kevin Flurkey in David Harrison's group at the Jackson Lab, beginning my life as a research scientist. I am now PhD graduate student with Mike Wade and Leonie Moyle in the department of biology at Indiana University. If all goes according to plan, I will graduate in the summer of 2010!! Here is a current version of my Curriculum Vitae which shows what I've been up to.
Research interests
I am broadly interested in evolution and genetics, as well as development and ecology, and I do not believe that these fields are very distinct from one another. I usually gravitate towards problems involving interactions among individuals, genes, levels of selection, or interactions between genes and the environment. Below, I briefly discuss two topics that I think about often - Genomic imprinting & Coevolution.
Genomic imprinting
Sometimes a gene's expression depends on whether it was inherited maternally or paternally. This phenomenon, known as genomic imprinting, has interested me since my undergraduate research. Why should genes be imprinted? The conflict (or kinship) theory argues that conflicts between mom and dad over resource allocation drive the evolution of genomic imprinting. I have worked a bit on this theory and its implications, but I am also interested in a number of other possible explanations. In addition to theoretical interests, I am conducting a few controlled crosses to identify imprinted regions of the tomato genome. I think this would be quite exciting, as we only know of a few imprinted genes from a small sample of plant species.
Most, if not all, of the organisms on earth earth exist as complex multi-taxa communities. Some associations, like that of the mitochondria and the nucleus or Buchnera and aphids are quite intimate, while others are more diffuse. I am interested in how relationships between species evolve.
One specific question that I've been looking into is how the inheritance of a symbiont influence the co-evolutionary trajectory of host-symbiont pairs. Looking broadly across the angiosperms, I found that the degree of co-inheritance of mitochondrial and nuclear genomes can predict the number of mitochondrial genes transferred to the nucleus.
Other interests
I play both racquetball and squash regularly and basketball less often. I like to drink bourbon and beer and eat most things. I enjoy much music, but old-timey music is the only thing that gets me dancing. In addition to various Detroit sports, I enjoy watching Chuck, Dexter, and 24. Most of my readings are technical things about ecology, evolution and genetics, but I do also enjoy reading popular science and the history of science.

"We bought these to compliment the Dappled Glade Signature Wedding Invitations, and they performed perfectly! We used the card to send out information about RSVPing, the reception site, and a note to see our wedding website. We ended up changing the Header font to match that used in the text body, and centered all of our text. I would highly recommend ordering the 8 free sample invites from WPD - it comes with a paper texture information booklet that is extremely helpful!"
"I was able to reformat the templates to suit our needs for an extra enclosure card. The request was received quickly and within minutes I had the blank card to personalize. Quick, efficient and beautiful. Thanks Divas!"
"Exactly as I was hoping everything would look. I ordered several pieces with this design and every thing was amazing. The customer service staff was also lovely to work with and quickly answered every questions that arose."
"We used these to go with the matching 'Tree Tale' invitations we bought. I loved them, they went perfectly with the invites and I adored the tree detail on the back. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"
"The choices of design and envelopes were great. We both had lots to choose from and freedom to write what we wanted. The "how to write" guides were very helpful!"

Several years ago I made the mistake of leaving the water pump in the barn instead of storing it in the basement. Well, I found out why Daddy always stored it in the basement during the cold days of winter. When I got the pump out to do some irrigation the following summer the primer tank had split right open. A little bit of moisture was left in the tank and it froze. The tank is made of cast iron so imagine what a little moisture might do to your favorite terracotta pot.

Eggs: Good or Bad?by Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, January 23, 2009
Over the years, eggs have gotten a bad rap as cholesterol no-nos. But should you totally ditch them in your diet?
The Nutrition Facts:
One large egg contains 210 milligrams of cholesterol, which is about two-thirds of your daily need (300 milligrams per day is the recommended maximum). Most of us have two or three eggs for breakfast, which means we're topping out on cholesterol in one meal. What you may not realize, however, is that saturated and trans fats influence your cholesterol levels the most, according to research.
Although eggs do contain cholesterol, they also have other benefits that make them a good-for-you food. They're are full of vitamin A and D, which are mostly found in the yolk, and have some omega-3 fats, which are good for your heart. Nowadays, there are even eggs with added omega-3 fats available at your supermarket (a heads up: they can be quite pricey).
Another plus for eggs is the antioxidant lutein (pronounced LOO-teen), which helps promote healthy eyes and skin. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found the blood more successfully absorbs egg-sourced lutein than lutein from other foods (i.e. spinach and corn).
Better still, eggs are a "perfect protein" because they contain all the essential amino acids needed for growth and your body's maintenance. There is as much protein in an egg yolk as there is in the egg white.
And yes, you might wonder: what's the difference between brown and white eggs? Nothing nutritionally. The color all has to do with the hens earlobes — hens with white earlobes lay white eggs and hens with red earlobes lay brown eggs.
The Bottomline:
The American Heart Association says an egg a day is fine for a healthy diet, and you should try to replace other high cholesterol foods such as dairy, meats and poultry. If you follow that one-a-day rule, keep in mind that many baked goods contain eggs and are a source of cholesterol and fat as well.
Of course, a plain egg isn't the only option; there are low cholesterol alternatives available. Egg substitutes work well in recipes, and 1/4 cup is equivalent to a single egg. Using a combination of whole eggs and egg whites when prepping a dish can also help lower the overall cholesterol tally. Always avoid frying eggs or cooking with tons of butter. Try poaching them in water.

Cheering emails have been landing in my in-box with a noteworthy regularity this week – and I am not referring to, as you might expect, those idiotic e-christmas cards that seem to be the latest trend. Rather, I mean actual bits of news that are like stocking stuffers of gifts because of the optimism they engender. What are these glittering gewgaws? Proof that luxury is taking a more pro-active approach to ever-greening their business.

EXCLUSIVE | Sculley 60 — By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
— May 2006
Beast from the East
This custom-built, North Carolina battlewagon should make anglers happy and big fish fearful.
The Southern California-based Manroe family hit February's Miami International Boat Show to see 18-year-old Kyle receive The Billfish Foundation's Junior Angler Award. When you see Kyle's fishing record, you understand why he received it. The Manroes-Kyle fishes on a team with his father Bob-won the Auto Exotica-Bisbee's East Cape Offshore Tournament in 2004 with a 386-pound blue marlin and a 197.7-pound yellowfin. The year before, Kyle took the dorado division with a 50-plus pounder. The list of catches goes on, like the half-dozen striped marlin the pair caught on Christmas morning while fun fishing. No wonder this family put 2,600 hours on their two-year-old 43-foot sportfisherman. These guys use their boat.

A warm, wet fall would dampen foliage colors
This summer was notable because of drought conditions in June and July, and searing heat in July, but that won't limit the beauty of Pennsylvania's fall foliage. Instead, it's the next few weeks' weather that will be determinant, according to a forest expert in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. And long-term weather forecasts point to mild weather -- 60- to 70-degree days and nights in the mid-40s -- through the end of October, with no frosts. For fall foliage lovers, that's not good.

THREE people who terrorised elderly pensioners in a bid to steal cash have been banned from every nursing home and sheltered housing complex in Blackburn with Darwen.
Julie Taylor, 43, Michael McCann, 41, and Cheryl Leech, 35, were each handed a two-year anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) after actively preying on people they believed to be elderly and vulnerable.
Police said the trio pestered residents in the Audley area of the town by knocking on their doors and windows in the early hours of the morning begging for cash.
They picked their victims after meeting them at local pubs or seeing them in the town centre, officers said.
On some occasions, they would even offer to get their victim's shopping, taking the money but never returning with any goods.
Sgt John Cisco, of South East Blackburn neighbourhood policing team, fought to secure the ASBOs after witnessing the friends' 'despicable' behaviour.
He said: "McCann, Taylor and Leach all targeted and befriended elderly and vulnerable people.
"They abused and threatened them and treated them in the most appalling manner.
"To prey on the elderly in this way is despicable.
"I hope this action helps to protect the more vulnerable members of the community whilst sending a strong message out that the police and council refuse to tolerate this type of behaviour."
Under the conditions of the ASBO imposed at Blackburn Magistrates' Court all three are banned from entering the grounds of any sheltered or residential housing area and must not solicit money, possessions or goods from anyone over the age of 65 unless they are a recognised seller.
They are not to cause harassment, alarm or distress to anyone in Blackburn with Darwen area, act in an anti-social way or associate with a number of named people.
Leach, now of Mather Street, Bury, has also been banned from entering the whole of Blackburn with Darwen because of her behaviour.
Speaking after the hearing the mum said: "A lot of what has been said for the ASBO happened in my past. I am in a different place with my recovery and I want to put it behind me.
"I don't live in Blackburn with Darwen anymore, I have moved on. I just want to get on with things now."
McCann and Taylor, both of Downham Street, Blackburn have been banned from certain parts of Blackburn including Shadsworth, the Catherdral grounds and Grimshaw Park area as outlined on a map.
Officers worked closely with a number of agencies to secure the ASBOs, including Blackburn with Darwen Council and Twin Valley Homes.

Glad you like the idea bourj,
You can always grind the meat yourself… Or go to any super market, pick out a nice and fresh chuck roast, ring the bell at the butcher counter and ask them to grind it for you. If it's a decent market, they'll be glad to do it for with no charge.
And please come back and post your results

PHILADELPHIA - Penn was victorious in its first home dual of the season, completing the sweep of its two top non-Ivy rivals via a 21-12 win over Hofstra. The win over the Pride, coupled with a 24-12 win at No. 21 Lehigh on Saturday marks the first time in that the Quakers have defeated both Lehigh and Hofstra in a dual meet during the same season - something the Quakers did within a span of 24 hours.
No. 20 Mark Rappo again gave his team a lead with his biggest win of the season, a 9-7 decision in sudden victory over No. 17 Steven Bonnano. Rappo trailed early after allowing the first takedown, but escaped and scored a takedown of his own to lead 3-2 after one period. In the second, Rappo added another takedown after Bonnano escaped early to lead, 5-3, after two. Bonnano came back in the third period, with two takedowns to force overtime. Rappo had the best look of sudden victory, finishing 22 seconds in for the win.
Hofstra took a 6-3 lead after wins at 133 and 141. Geoffrey Bostany was defeated by Jamie Franco, 6-1, at 133 - the decisive points coming via a three-point nearfall from Franco in the second period after Bostany got too aggressive looking for a reversal. At 141, C.J. Cobb had a 2-1 lead on No. 10 Luke Vaith after two periods, and led 4-3 after an escape in the third period, but Vaith scored late and erased Cobb's riding time for a 5-4 decision.
The Red and Blue won the next three matches, including two with bonus points to take a 15-6 lead. Andrew Lenzi first tied the team score with a 7-6 win over Matt Spataro. The first half of the match was all Lenzi, as he scored three takedowns to lead, 6-4, after two periods. Lenzi had 1:13 of riding time after two periods, and that edge paid off after a late headlock throw from Spataro was good for just two points - Lenzi's shoulders were out of bounds - and the final buzzer sounded with 1:03 of riding time still in Lenzi's favor for the deciding point.
Troy Hernandez picked up his most dominant win of the season via a 19-4 technical fall at 157 for Penn. Hernandez opened up a 6-2 lead after one period and led 9-2 after two periods before piling on with a two takedowns and a pair of three-point nearfalls to end the match at 6:39.
True freshman Casey Kent picked up his second win of the weekend via a 12-2 major decision over Nick Terdick. Kent was on fire in the first period, with a takedown at 1:11 and following that up with a pair of three-point nearfalls before three minutes were up.
The Pride got back in the dual with a win at 174 from Jermaine John. He avenged a loss to Ian Korb in last season's dual with a 7-1 decision. Korb twice was scored on in the final seconds of a period, which swayed the outcome.
Leading by only six, Penn again made some adjustments to its lineup at the upper weights. After a dual-clinching win at 197 yesterday, Canaan Bethea picked up a similarly-important win at 184 with a 4-2 decision over Taras Luzhnyy. The bout was tied, 2-2, after two periods, but Bethea scored on a counter in the final ten seconds to pick up the win.
Harrison Cook took the mat at 197 after lining up at 184 yesterday and clinched the dual for Penn with a 6-0 decision over Victor Pozsonyi. Cook broke a scoreless tie in the second period with an escape and a takedown before adding another takedown with 51 seconds remaining to secure the win.
Steven Graziano was edged by Paul Snyder in the final bout, 3-2, a takedown with 15 seconds left the deciding factor.
The Quakers are off until Dec. 29-30 when they head to Northwestern for the 50th Annual Kraft Midlands Championships.

Separation anxiety occurs as "a normal stage of development for healthy, secure babies. It occurs as babies begin to understand their own selfhood—or understand that they are a separate person from their primary caregiver. At the same time, the concept of object permanence emerges—which is when children learn that something still exists when it is not seen or heard. As babies begin to understand that they can be separated from their primary caregiver, they do not understand that their caregiver will return, nor do they have a concept of time. This, in turn, causes a normal and healthy anxious reaction. Separation anxiety typically onsets around 8 months of age and increased until 13-15 months, when it begins to decline[1].

AMD Catalyst 14.2 Beta Drivers Now Availableby Ryan Smith on 2/25/2014 12:00 PM EST
15 Comments
Back to Article
przemo_li - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkOK.
Quick comment on Linux Radeon driver.
For r600 hw, Radeon driver is better than Catalyst in all but two aspects: OpenGL version supported 3.3 vs 4.2 and performance for low-end and high-end GPUs (comes mainly due to highly tuned memory management in Catalyst, something which takes time to acheave).
r600g on the other hand have better:
* responsivenes - google "catalyst lag input"
* video decode support - exposed via VDPAU api which is supported by all big media players
* wine support - Catalyst is horrible here
r600g is name for driver for r600 hardware -> radeon 4000 - 6000, APUs up to Trinity.
Catalyst as a name cover wide range of hardware generations and just "Radeon" is good equivalent, however newer GCN based GPU's are served by radeonSI driver, which is quite fresh, and require cutting edge code, litterarly from under hands of AMD developers ;)
(Though all the major Linux distros should have precompiled kernel/drm/mesa packages so its not hard)
Even some game devs starts to recommend r600g over Catalyst. So this PR statement is quite significant. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkOr in shorter terms.
Unless You have apps that refuse to work with OSS Radeon driver, its better to avoid Catalyst.*
* PRO market is ofc. different. Reply
r3loaded - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkThe problem I have with the open source driver on my 7970 is that it doesn't slow the fan down to 20% from its boot speed of 35%. The gentle fan noise I get at idle with the open drivers drives me crazy and unlike Catalyst there doesn't seem to be a way to control the fan speed at all. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - link7970 is GCN, right? It got power(and hence fan) management identical to Catalyst only recently. Make sure that You use required version of kernel. (And that You have DPM turned on) Reply
r3loaded - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkYep, that's with DPM turned on. The GPU sits in its lowest power state and idles at nice cool temperatures, but the drivers don't slow the fans down to match. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkKernel with drm-next then? DPM work for GCN GPUs is still ongoing. Bugs are worked on, etc. Give me Your distribution name and I maybe I can even find some repo with daily builds of kernel. Reply
r3loaded - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkI'm using Arch, so I guess I'll try the linux-mainline package? Reply
stepz - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkI'm glad they are working on it. However in my case it's a bit too late, I just bought an Nvidia card to replace my Radeon as the open source driver was not able to configure a triple monitor setup and the proprietary driver produced a constant stream of various memory management stack traces in the kernel log. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkOh. And in that AMD anouncment there is typo.
It should be OpenGL 3.3 (And OpenGL ES 3.0). Not 4.3. Nobody in OSS camp support more than 3.3. Only some extensions. (List of what is supported by extension and OpenGL version can be found here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/docs/GL...
Radeon driver support 6 extensions from 4.3 though. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkHmm, and those docs...
They contain all the information that AMD devs already put in code. So its nothing new, but just written properly. ;) Reply
Woody - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkUnfortunately AMD still has their hands tied with Enduro platforms. From my understanding you can't even install these drivers on an Enduro platform. I wish they could come up with a work around for those with systems that aren't able to physically disable the Intel integrated video. Mantle works with certain high end mobile cards but not on an Enduro platform. It's very frustrating. Reply
przemo_li - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkUnfortunatly, both AMD, and Nvidia treat their integration with Intel GPUs as secret sausce that must be kept secret, and on top of that Intel do not support mantle yet (so no idea how much sense, coop between OGL/DX on intel and Mantle on AMD would make).
Funny enought on the Radeon side of things, AMD works together with Intel on some good solutions (but for OGL/Crossfire like solutions. Mantle should mean even lower lever communication, but maybe not. No public Mantle docs yet.) Reply
zivnix - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI used to have 14.1 beta v1.6. Display driver version is still the same in 14.2 beta v1.3 (13.350.1005.0000). Is that normal? Reply
Flunk - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkDepends, if you're not using a GCN-based card it could be that they're not changing the driver for older cards. Reply
The Von Matrices - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkDid you uninstall the old drivers first? The download page on AMD's site says that uninstalling the old drivers is required before updating. Reply

Did you know?
False Bay was so named more than 300 years ago because sailors confused it with Table Bay.
False Bay takes in a long, swooping curve of the southern Cape coastline from Cape Point to Hangklip, and is generally regarded as one of the great bays of the world.
Although your drive around False Bay will take you through many little seaside villages, each with its own special main street, the natural beauty of this bay is still intact.
It's a world of looming crags and cliffs, mountain passes, lots of beaches (some secluded, others wide and panoramic), and an ocean full of great white sharks, visiting southern right whale pods, seals and fish, including snoek, which is popular to eat. On the mountain slopes, sometimes within spitting distance from homes, troops of wily Peninsula baboons roam, while kestrels, hawks and buzzards fly in the skies above.
Possibly the most iconic wildlife picture anyone has of False Bay, however, is the series of African penguin clusters on Boulders Beach at Simon's Town. These dauntless little 'waddling tuxedos' have become unofficial ambassadors for this part of the Cape and welcome hundreds of visitors along their special boardwalk each day.
Mention False Bay and the traveller's mind's eye will immediately conjure up images of the multi-coloured bathing boxes of Muizenberg, the after-dark delights of Kalk Bay's restaurants and bars, and the unsurpassed view of Simon's Town Harbour from the heights above.
Many visitors choose to come to False Bay via the train from Cape Town, alighting at Simon's Town and spending the day along its Historical Mile. This is where one gets the true naval spirit of the Cape, in the guise of museums, crusty old pubs and droves of navy uniforms in the streets.
In the 'old days' of sail, Simon's Town was where you would go to pick up tales of the sea, news of pirate shenanigans or British Navy arrivals. An hour spent in the Simon's Town Museum will convince you that life here 200 years ago was colourful, dramatic and often quite short – especially if you were a buccaneer.
Hikers and overlanders gather at Cape Point and walk up to the old lighthouse before lunching at a nearby restaurant or having a braai (barbecue) at one of the designated spots along the way.
One can travel the short distance between Kalk Bay and Simon's Town by water taxi, or try one of the many adventure companies' trips out to Seal Island. This is known as the best place in the world to see a great white shark breaching in mid-air.
Gentler souls might prefer the literary delights of Kalk Bay Books or a drink down the road at the Brass Bell.

Note to My Readers
Thank you, again, for your continued support. I continue to passionately believe that everyone deserves sound information about their bodies and health, their food, and the world we live in. I also believe that public policies and clinical guidelines should be based on the soundest science and reasoned risk-benefit analysis, and to have been proven to actually help and not harm people. Sadly, that's largely not the case today. Most pop science - what is believed to be science in media and politics, being taught in schools and universities today, and popularly believed – is often the furthest thing from the reasoned, careful scientific process that has guided progress and advancement over the past century…and is not real science at all. The new "science" being taught today is very troubling. And, instead of science and advancements being viewed positively as bringing great benefits to people and our world, it is being used for politics and marketing. Rather than celebrate the positive things that can come from good science, we are surrounded by fears, with dark and ominous views of the state of our health and the world. Fear sells, products and policies, but is almost never credible.
It has becoming increasingly difficult, and nearly impossible, for people (consumers and professionals alike) to find credible and factual information. Internet searches and search engines now pull up predominately marketing, political and agenda-driven content that has been screened and sanitized to reflect what some want you to think and believe. Credible science, original sources and objective critical analyses rarely appear. Media, in general, has become an expanse of junk science, uncredible sources, disinformation and doublespeak, politics and marketing. Even formerly credible sources, organizations and publications have to be read with a critical eye. All of us are now on our own to question everything, seek out original sources and do our own fact-checking, research and critical thinking. You'll be surprised at how much of what "everyone knows" is not true.
As a medical professional, it is extremely troubling to see history repeating itself with the rise of healthism and anti-science, and how medical ethics has been redefined to no longer protect individuals, but to increase the power and control of government over lives. Most troubling, is that it has never been more imperative for consumers to not only do their own research, but to seek second opinions and fight for the medical care they need and deserve.
My personal commitment is unchanged. I have updated the links on the right side of this blog to provide you with alternative information sources and tools to help you critically examine the studies and news reports we encounter everyday. You can take these techniques to step and repeat in making your own analysis, as similar issues and claims surface each day. On the far lower right hand column, you'll also find a search engine to search on topics of interest from past posts. I'm leaving this site up in hopes that the information will continue to be of help to you and your loved ones.

East Lynne Theater Company Presents DULCY 9/21-10/15
East Lynne Theater Company presents a screwball comedy, Dulcy. "This is probably the first weekend party on record that ended on Friday night," says Dulcy's brother William to his brother-in-law Gordon. Dulcy is the only one who believes she's created the perfect atmosphere in her home for a lovely weekend where her husband can make a brilliant business deal with his boss - or perhaps the boss's rival - and the boss's daughter can run away with the right - or wrong - man. It may be that an innocent person could go to jail and all of her plans will go awry in this zany, screwball comedy written by Pulitzer Prize-winners George S. Kaufman (1889-1961) and Marc Connelly (1890-1980).
Produced by the award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company, "Dulcy" runs from September 21 through October 15 every Wednesday through Saturday at 8:00p.m., except there is no show on Wednesday, October 5, and an added performance on Sunday, October 9 at 7:30p.m., at The First Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes St., Cape May, where the company is in residence. On opening night, Wednesday, September 21, there is an after-show party at Aleathea's Restaurant at The Inn of Cape May where patrons have the opportunity to meet and talk to the cast and crew. On Friday, September 30, is an after-show Q&A, and on Friday, October 14 is an ASL Performance.
Tickets are $30 for general admission; $25 for seniors and those with disabilities and their support companions; $15 for students; and anyone age twelve and under is free. For information and to make reservations, call 609-884-5898 or go online at www.eastlynnetheater.org.
"Dulcy's" eleven-member cast includes ELTC favorites: Erin Callahan and Thomas Raniszewski (from last season's "Berkeley Square"), SuzAnne Dawson, Megan McDermott, and Drew Seltzer (also from "Berkeley Square" as well as the recent "The World of Dorothy Parker"); Mark Edward Lang and Alison J. Murphy ("The Guardsman"), Fred Velde ("Rain"), Dave Holyoak ("He and She") and ELTC's artistic director Gayle Stahlhuth, who also directs. New to ELTC is Larry Daggett who just finished performing in "The Full Monty" at Sierra Repertory Theater in Sonora, CA, and was last in Cape May in Cape May Stage's production of "Souvenir."
In 2008, ELTC produced "To the Ladies!," the second play written by Kaufman and Connelly. Not only did it receive a lovely review by Terry Teachout in "The Wall Street Journal," but Kaufman's daughter, Anne, came to Cape May to see the show and enjoy a Q&A with the audience afterwards. She was so taken with the production that she allowed ELTC to produce the only play her father wrote without a collaborator, "The Butter and Egg Man," which the company presented in 2009, to terrific audience and reviewer response. Anne is looking forward to coming to town again to see "Dulcy" and enjoy another Q&A, the date to be determined.
Dulcinea Smith was a character created by Franklin P. Adams, who wrote for several New York newspapers and was a member of The Algonquin Round Table, like Kaufman and Connelly. Not only did "Dulcy" establish these two journalists as playwrights, but it made a star of Lynn Fontanne, who played the title role.
Kaufman became America's most successful playwright in the 1920s and '30s, collaborating with Dorothy Parker, Edna Ferber, Ring Lardner, Morrie Ryskind, and Moss Hart. His Pulitzer Prizes were for "Of Thee I Sing," with Morrie Ryskind and Ira Gershwin, the first musical to be so honored, and with Moss Hart for "You Can't Take It With You."
Connelly received the Pulitzer Prize for "The Green Pastures," written for and performed by an all-African-American cast. He was a regular contributor to "Life" and other magazines.

I don't monitor my heart rate on a regular basis. I should start and put my Garmin to work.
My 5k PR is 21:37.
For logging purposes...
My easy pace is between 8:00 and 9:00 - most comfortable at 8:20
Between 7:00 and 8:00 I consider a medium pace.
Between 6:00 and 7:00 is tempo/race pace.
I've been trying to follow Daniels' VDOT tables. For my 5K PR of ~21:38, he recommends an easy pace of around 9:17, which seems to be about right under ideal conditions.
My 5k pr is 20:17 and I aim to run outdoors at 8:30 for easy pace runs.
Good luck at your next 5K. I hope it goes well.
Another question that may be of interest is the total number of easy miles done each week and 5K PR. I do between 30 and 35 miles per week easy pace (between 9:00 and 10:30)
Person of Interest
done to hard sessions this week to prepare me for a sub 20 attempt
Tues: 8x800m at 5:47 pace with 1 min recovery
Thurs: 5x1mile at 6:21 pace with 2.5 mins rest.
Both were me working really hard, and I was nervous about them seeing as though I have just come out of y base building.
What you guys think? Any comments welcome, and comparisons with your times so I can equate it to how I may perform in my next 5K.
If you can do those workouts then I'm not sure what is stopping you. I couldn't do that when I first went sub 20 in the 5k.
Note that I currently use the McMillan pace calculator: http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm
Pace ranges for all training distances are based off my 5k & 10k PRs. They line up exactly.
"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009

So the method would be to add the argument:
- Code: Select all
but then you guys say that is not enough. although all i could think of right now is __import__() and open() are pretty nasty.
So what if you just removed the ability to use packages names, builtins, and keywords. At that point would it be a back door still?
I wouldnt think there is anything left:
- Code: Select all
import sys
import pkgutil
import keyword
pkg_names = []
for i in pkgutil.iter_modules():
forbidden = pkg_names + dir(__builtins__) + keyword.kwlist
while True:
ok = True
s = input(': ')
for word in forbidden:
if word in s:
print('{} is not allowed'.format(word))
ok = False
if s and ok:
and my example outputs:
: __import__('subprocess').Popen('ls')
imp is not allowed
subprocess is not allowed
__import__ is not allowed
open is not allowed
import is not allowed
or is not allowed
: 1/0

PEOPLE at a Wiveliscombe care home are facing an uncertain future.
Sharpe House, on the West Road, has been put up for sale by its parent company, Jedd International and is to close next month.
It is not yet known exactly when it will close or what will happen to the people there.
The home is registered with Care Quality Commission (CQC) for ten residents and is a long-established home caring for adults with a learning disability.
It has been put on the market with Christie + Co in Exeter and is thought it could re-open and remain as a care home when a buyer is found.
Simon Harvey, director of Christie + Co's South-West healthcare team, said: "Having considered their options carefully, our client has decided to close the home and place it on to the market.
"We believe there is an opportunity to re-establish Sharpe House as a care home due to its retention of CQC registration and well-established position and we anticipate a positive early interest being shown."
During a routine inspection in February 2013, the CQC said all standards were being met in the six key areas.
A subsequent report said: "It was apparent throughout our visit that people living at the home were relaxed and happy and interacted well with staff.
"There was a calm and pleasant atmosphere and staff supported people with kindness and respect."
Bryn Wilson, chairman of Wiveliscombe Town Council, said it is a "shame" the home is closing.
He said: "The people there are brilliant and have integrated into the community so we don't want to lose them.
"It's a shame it is closing but that's the nature of business.
"We hope somebody can take it on and keep it as a care home."
When approached by the County Gazette, Declan Howlett, managing director of Jedd International, declined to comment.
Mr Howlett also refused to give the reasons for its closure or any other information.

First published in 1971, Rules for Radicals is Saul Alinsky's impassioned counsel to young radicals on how to effect constructive social change and know "the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one." Written in the midst of radical political developments whose direction Alinsky was one of the first to question, this volume exhibits his style at its best. Like Thomas Paine before him, Alinsky was able to combine, both in his person and his writing, the intensity of political engagement with an absolute insistence on rational political discourse and adherence to the American democratic tradition.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This primers tells the "have-nots" how they can organize to achieve real political power for the practice of true democracy.About the Author:
Saul Alinsky was born in Chicago in 1909 and educated first in the streets of that city and then in its university. Graduate work at the University of Chicago in criminology introduced him to the Capone gang, and later to Joliet State Prison, where he studied prison life. He founded what is known today as the Alinsky ideology and Alinsky concepts of mass organization for power. His work in organizing the poor to fight for their rights as citizens has been internationally recognized. In the late 1930s he organized the Back of the Yards area in Chicago (the neighborhood made famous in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle). Subsequently, through the Industrial Areas Foundation which he began in 1940, Mr. Alinsky and his staff helped to organize communities not only in Chicago but throughout the country. He later turned his attentions to the middle class, creating a training institute for organizers. He died in 1972.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A West Virginia lawmaker is making headlines after proposing the idea of having school children work as janitors.
According to the Associated Press, the West Virginia House recently passed the Feed to Achieve Act. The school lunch bill allows nonprofits to solicit private donations to go toward providing every child with a breakfast and lunch at no cost.
But Republican lawmaker Ray Canterbury argued that providing students with free lunches would destroy their work ethic and show them "there's an easy way," the Charleston Gazette reported.
"I think it would be a good idea if, perhaps, we had the kids work for their lunches: trash to be taken out, hallways to be swept, lawns to be mowed, make them earn it," Canterbury said during floor debate. "If they miss a lunch or they miss a meal they might not, in that class that afternoon, learn to add, they may not learn to diagram a sentence, but they'll learn a more important lesson."
The Feed to Achieve Act now heads to the desk of West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, who is expected to sign it.
