The immediate reaction to the murder of 12 people at a French magazine can only be horror at the savagery, revulsion at the inhumanity and sympathy for the victims and their families. The world has united in defiance of the attempt to silence those journalists. It must remain equally vigilant against over-reaction to the killings. We must not become a shadow of that we despise.
Two men, alleged to be brothers, entered the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a weekly satirical magazine that has skewered all things sacred in France since 1970, on Wednesday, wearing black military fatigues and carrying Kalashnikovs. They killed a security guard working at the entrance to the office, and then separated men from women, called out the names of individuals they were seeking.
Their first target was chief editor Stephane Charbonnier, who was among al-Qaida's "most wanted" Westerners for publishing cartoons that made fun of the Prophet Muhammad. They then shot the victims, shouting "Allahu Akhbar!" and "We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad! We have killed Charlie Hebdo!"
Retreating from the scene, they exchanged gunfire with police, murdering at point-blank range a policeman lying wounded on the ground and then killing one other.
The two men have been identified as brothers, Said and Cherif Kouachi, ages 34 and 32. Cherif has been on the radar of French security services for over a decade. He was featured in a 2005 TV documentary about Islamic radicalism in France. He was detained that year as he readied to go to Syria — apparently he missed the flight — where he would train to fight Americans. He was subsequently arrested in 2008 and sentenced to three years in prison for helping recruit jihadists to fight in Iraq. An 18-month prison term reportedly radicalized him further. Since then, he has continued his radical activities while working as a pizza delivery man.
Less is known about his older brother, a convert to Islam, although he is alleged to have gone to Yemen for several months in 2011 to train with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. The attack itself indicates that the brothers received training somewhere. Both are reported to have been on the "no-fly list" of the United States.
As France launched a manhunt for the two men and increased security across the country, the government has been trying to calm a jittery nation: It has announced several arrests and revealed that it has thwarted at least five terrorist attacks over the last 1½ years. But revelations that the brothers had been known to security forces undermine those reassurances.
Officials acknowledged that Cherif Kouachi had been under surveillance after his prison term, but it was determined that he represented no serious threat. It is reckoned that as many as 2,000 French citizens have gone to Iraq or Syria to fight and several hundred have returned. The manpower required to monitor and surveil that many people is staggering. French deficiencies are shared by other governments.
The global response to the murders has been clear and defiant. Crowds have gathered across the world to declare "Je suis Charlie" — "I am Charlie," a reference to the magazine — and to show support for the victims and freedom of speech. Significantly Islamic leaders across France and the world denounced the killing for the barbarities that they were.
As the world unites to condemn these atrocities, there is the danger of three over-reactions. The first is a very real risk of a rise in intolerance and reprisals against Muslim communities. There have already been explosions at or near two mosques in France, and conservative activists in France and elsewhere are using the attack to push pet political projects.
Marine Le Pen, head of the ultra-right National Front party, said that "the Islamists have declared war against France." This extreme rhetoric and the inevitable violence that will follow must also be denounced. Individuals who commit crime must be caught and punished; that is not license to slander or attack entire groups.
The second danger is the flip side of that first risk: an attempt to demonstrate solidarity and a refusal to be silenced makes us insensitive to the offenses we do provoke. In many cases, we as individuals or institutions (especially in the media) refrain from saying something even though we are free to do so. Freedom of speech is about a choice to speak — or to remain silent. Pressure works both ways and we must not be bullied in either direction.
There is the very real danger that fear of future violence will oblige us to give up some of the other freedoms we enjoy. In the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, the U.S. and many of its allies recalibrated the balance between the right of privacy and security.
Freedom of speech means nothing if speech merely creates a record that can be used to later circumscribe individual freedom. In such a world, silence is the only sensible option. In such a world, the terrorists have won.

It's official: USF says Miami game is sold out
For just the third time in its 13-year history, USF is expecting a home sellout, with all available tickets sold for Saturday's home game against Miami.
USF sent out a release Tuesday afternoon saying that Miami could return some of its allotment -- the Hurricanes already returned 3,000 tickets earlier this month -- and there's a chance USF's student body, away from campus for Thanksgiving weekend, won't use up the entire 12,501-seat student section. If either of those things happen, USF said they'll release the new tickets for sale on Thursday.
USF has only sold out Raymond James Stadium twice before this -- against West Virginia and Central Florida in 2007. We'll update the blog if any tickets should come available ...

With Avengers: Age Of Ultron finally reaching our screens this week (if you're in America, you have to wait a little longer), the character known as The Vision will make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The debut is something that fans of the comics have been anticipating for a while, but he's not the most well-known to those whose main Avengers experience has been through the movies. Here, then, is an introduction to this complicated creation.
Like many of his fellow Marvel Comics characters, The Vision has a complicated birth, one that has been rejigged and retold several times. But he first showed up in Avengers issue 57, published October 1968. He's the work of Ultron, the rogue robot who gains sentience and decides to rebel against his creator, scientist Hank Pym. Turning against Pym and the Avengers, Ultron tries several times to destroy them, but after failing at each attempt, he concocts a new plan. He kidnaps Professor Phineas T. Horton, creator of the original Human Torch (an android, not Johnny Storm from The Fantastic Four – we told you it was complicated) and demands that he alter the droid into something new to take on our heroes. The prof switches the colour of the Torch's face to Red and changes its powers, creating what is known in the Marvel universe as a Synthezoid.
But to Ultron's surprise, Horton left the Torch's memory mostly intact, which meant he initially refused to do Ultron's bidding. Enraged, Ultron kills Horton, leading The Vision to seek vengeance. But Ultron was too powerful, and managed to imprint the android with the brain patterns of Wonder Man, adding a control crystal so he'll do Ultron's bidding.
This split in this nature – the human side versus the machine – has been a fascinating subject for different writers to explore, and he's a chance to look at humanity through a different lens, much as with the likes of Isaac Asimov's robots and Star Trek's Data.
The first appearance of The Vision in Marvel Comics
Curious as to how The Vision got that moniker? It wasn't handed down by Ultron, but in fact stuck after his first encounter with the Avengers. Team member Janet "Wasp" Van Dyne described him as an "unearthly, inhuman vision" upon that initial meeting, and the title passed into use. Not the most auspicious start you might think, and indeed The Vision attacks our heroes, only to be taken down. At a moment when it looked like the cackling Ultron would defeat the Avengers, the droid once again overcame his programming and helped the team defeat their metallic menace. After asking to join them, he's tested by the likes of Captain America, Thor and Iron Man and passes, going on to become a valuable ally. Well, except for those storylines when he's needed to be a threat again, especially with Ultron able to take over his mind. But in his time, he's fought and won against the likes of Kang, Man-Ape, the Circus of Crime (come on MCU, this has to be part of Phase Four!) and Yellowjacket, the villain we'll meet in this year's Ant-Man played by Corey Stoll.
The Vision has quite the array of abilities. While his body mimics that of a human, he's much stronger and resilient than normal people ("normal", of course, being a relative term in this universe). He's got that nifty computer brain, which makes him incredibly smart, can generate holograms to make himself look human, change his density (so as to become hard like a diamond or float through walls like a ghost), fly and channel solar energy to emit radiation beams through the gem on his head. Which comes in really handy when the microwave is broken.
The Vision and The Scarlet Witch
One of the more iconic elements of the Vision's backstory is his romance with Wanda Maximoff, AKA Scarlet Witch. Tentative at first, their relationship blossomed into love and they even got married, heading to a honeymoon on the island of Rurutu in French Polynesia. After their trip, they returned to spend a few more years fighting alongside their Avengers colleagues before retiring to New Jersey. It seemed like a happy ending, at least until the Vision's old control crystal malfunctioned and he went all WarGames, becoming bent on creating a golden age of peace by taking over the world's defence systems. Oh, and they had children together, but the kids turned out to be fragments of the soul of the demon Mephisto. We know, we know... most parents think that's the reason their kids misbehave. The trauma of seeing the "children" absorbed back into Mephisto temporarily sent Wanda insane, and she separated from The Vision. Darkness, thy name is Marvel.
Left: The Vision in the Marvel Animation Series; Right: The Vision in action
Given the sprawling history of Marvel comics, it's perhaps not that surprising that there have been different versions of the character through the years. He's been destroyed and rebuilt, had his memory patterns changed, discovered there is an Anti-Vision from another universe, been torn apart again by She-Hulk and later saw his memories incorporated into another character. He's been a prominent part of the Avengers cartoon series, which is not that surprising given that he's also a fan favourite.
Paul Bettany as The Vision in Avengers: Age Of Ultron
With Avengers: Age Of Ultron only just appearing in UK cinemas and yet to arrive in some other countries, we'll hold off on too much discussion of how he fits into the plot. Suffice to say, he is closely linked to both Ultron and, since Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark accidentally creates the rogue A.I. and not Hank Pym, The Vision also has a bond with the billionaire. Paul Bettany, who, until now, has only had to show up to recording booths to voice Stark's sardonic computer J.A.R.V.I.S., is playing The Vision on screen. "He's incredibly good at punching, which is key," explains Bettany. "He also has the ability to change his density and that's awesome and really exploited brilliantly by Joss in terms of cool moments. Vision is able to do something otherworldly and it's kind of great. And he's discovering it all as he goes along." He was less thrilled about the harness work involved, which he has said felt like being "hung by your genitals", but that's all part of the job... Expect The Vision to play a huge role when Avengers: Infinity War arrives starting in 2018.

After bouncing around between one bed and breakfast to another for the first few days, we spent a week residing on the small peninsula jutting into Castlemaine Harbor, south of the Dingle Peninsula and north of the small village of Cromane. For a reasonable sum, a person can rent a "cottage" in Ireland.
The one we inhabited wasn't as quaint as I would imagine an Irish cottage to be, but instead was a very spacious newly built home. It was also a symbol of the rise and fall of what is known as the Celtic Tiger economy. A surge in the technology and pharmaceutical industries created an economic boom prior to the new millennium, the effects of which continued until the Great Recession in 2008. Our cottage was built on the tail end of the Tiger. After the real estate bubble burst it never sold.
Weeks ago I started this column by referencing my Irish ancestry. Quite a few branches trace back to communities across Ireland. It is probably not much of a coincidence, therefore, that our primary place of lodging, we later learned, happened to be near the town in which the McKenna branch purportedly originates —Killorglin in County Kerry.
Despite my failure to adequately research our family history in advance, we thought we would wing it and see if anyone knew of any locals with the last name McKenna. The inebriated patron we consulted at the nearest pub in town hadn't heard of any, until he thoughtfully pondered it another couple of minutes and then remembered his wife's maiden name was McKenna. Without our prompting he dialed her up on his cell phone and then handed it over to allow us to do the talking. I'm not sure what that says about the status of their marriage. Regardless, she was friendly and suggested we stop by the church office and page through their records.
The next day we did exactly that and found the church secretary, like most Irish, was very accommodating. She pulled out the books and quickly gave us the Genealogy 101 lesson I am certain she is accustomed to giving tourists like us searching the country of 4.5 million people for a relative from six generations back.
We began scanning the relevant pages for McKenna when she interjected and warned us that it would be improper to only search for the spelling we were accustomed to. Variations of McKenna could also include Kenna, McGenna, Genna, MaKenna, MacKenna, MacKennagh, MacKinna, MacKena or even Ginna. We would have to search them all.
As we narrowed it down by name we began to look more closely at dates when again she interjected and urged us not to put too much faith in the accuracy of dates either. If you can't rely on the spelling of the names or the accuracy of dates, then you don't have much to go off of, in my estimation. We did have one thing playing in our favor — we were searching for McKenna rather than O'Sullivan. The inflection in her voice took on a sober tone when she stated that the hair on the back of her neck raises high when someone walks through the door announcing they are searching for an O'Sullivan. Our survey of the local cemetery confirmed the frequency of the O'Sullivan name — nearly one in every three stones appeared to bear that moniker.
Despite these inherent challenges, some folks are able to successfully place the pieces in order, but it became clear we weren't going to do so that morning. Never mind that anyway, as she then came forth with the most critical information of the day — these exact records are all online at www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ and paging through the books, as romantic as it might seem at the time, was completely unnecessary. Just then the office phone started to ring so we quickly thanked her for her time and assistance and departed.
I also started the column by giving a brief history of the infamous potato famine. I can assure you the famine is no longer, and potatoes persist in abundance despite the absence of widespread poverty that originally made potatoes a staple in the diet many years ago. Dining at a pub one evening I ordered some species of local fish, of which I was not familiar and can no longer recall. Like any good Irish meal, it came with some mashed potatoes and a vegetable as advertised on the menu. I was a bit surprised when the waitress delivered a side of French fries with the rest of my meal. This happened again later in the trip. It wasn't an extra side I had requested, nor had it been indicated on the menu they were included. Bonus fries, I call them, and they seem to be given away like water.
To be more accurate, these fries are technically called "chips" in Ireland. Meanwhile, what we call chips are called "crisps." Pudding as we know it is nothing like pudding in Ireland. Irish pudding is a breakfast food composed of pork meat and fat, suet (beef or mutton fat), bread, oatmeal and sometimes blood (from what, I didn't ask). Pudding is an essential component of the traditional Irish breakfast served by most B&Bs. Soup in Ireland doesn't have chunks. It is puréed. Stew is more like our soup. Chicken goujons are chicken strips. The Irish do not say they are "hungry." Instead they announce they are feeling "peckish." The list goes on.
When it was our turn to get served at the table or the bar, consistently the wait staff would ask, some with genuine concern, "Are you okay?"— almost as if initiating a little friendly small talk. My instincts were always to respond, "Yes, I am doing fine." But when I did this while waiting to order a drink, of course, they would pass me on by and hustle off to the next customer who wasn't "doing okay."
By the time we were done pestering the patient wait staff each night with questions about what unfamiliar words meant and what each menu item actually consisted of, they were probably ready to present us a basket of fries and say, "take it or leave it." Tipping is generally unnecessary in Ireland. Nevertheless, I usually found myself adding extra, hoping it would serve as an informal apology for our unfamiliarity, indecisiveness and delay.
Unlike places like Italy or India, you don't go to Ireland to indulge in great or exotic food, since most of their fare can be found right here at home. Nevertheless, we never went hungry, thanks to those generous servings of potatoes.
Slán go foil.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Anthony Noto was preparing for life on the buy side after a decade as a research analyst at Goldman Sachs (GS) and a stint running the firm's technology investment banking group. Then a $30 billion opportunity came knocking -- a job as Twitter's (TWTR) new chief financial officer that came with "so much growth and opportunity" it was impossible for him to pass up.
Noto on Wednesday cited the "magnitude of opportunity" ahead of Twitter, even after a 2013 initial public offering that valued the company around $30 billion as the reason he decided to take a job as the company's chief financial officer just months after joining tech-focused hedge fund Coatue Management. Noto's comments, made at a conference hosted by Citigroup, underscored his belief that Twitter is just beginning to grow and monetize its user base, while also launching new media and advertising products in the U.S. and internationally.

"It is very rare to see a company with circa a $30 billion dollar market capitalization with so much growth and opportunity ahead of it relative to what it has accomplished," Noto said on Wednesday when asked to explain why he joined Twitter.
"I think it is very rare to get to a $30 billion valuation and still have so many innings ahead of them in terms of user growth, in terms of monetization opportunities, geographic expansion and product expansion," Noto added.
At Goldman Sachs, Noto was the lead banker who worked with Twitter and its CEO Dick Costolo as the company listed on the New York Stock Exchange last November.

NEW patients are being turned away from the Great Western Hospital's eye department as staff struggle with growing demand.
While exisiting patients are being treated as normal at the clinic for a variety of eye problems including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment and corneal graft, new patients are being referred to hospitals and services as far afield as Cheltenham.
The situation was described as ridiculous and wrong' by a 77-year-old West Swindon pensioner who asked not to be named.
The woman, who is awaiting cataract surgery, was at first told she would not be able to be seen in Swindon but would instead have to travel to Cirencester.
She was eventually booked into Cheltenham for the operation, which is due to take place in May.
"It is absolutely ridiculous," she said.
"I was told that the department was only open to patients who have already been using it and not to new patients. I was told I had to go to Cirencester and then, when I called again, they said I had to go to Cheltenham. I thought it's getting further and further away.
"In a big place like Swindon this is just wrong. It's such a rigmarole when you have an eye department on your doorstep."
The GWH said it has difficulties dealing with demand due to a growing and ageing population.
But itn is about to implement new measures to cater for patients, such as providing 28 extra clinics each week.
Hilary Shand, chief operating officer at GWH NHS Foundation Trust, said: "The Ophthalmology Service at the Great Western Hospital has been experiencing some difficulty in meeting demand.
"With more patients we have been working on a plan to improve the service.
"The trust board recently approved a £1.6m investment in the service to support our plans to provide 28 more clinics per week at GWH and out in the local community in Swindon and Wiltshire, and significant investment in recruiting extra doctors, nurses and support staff.
"While these plans take effect, Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group have temporarily stopped new patients from being referred to our ophthalmology service at GWH, other than for emergency cases.
"This is while we increase staffing and the number of clinics to match demand. Existing patients under our care are still being treated."
She added new staff had been recruited to ensure the service was more effective.
A Swindon Clinical Commissioning group spokesman said the body will provide transport to patients having to go to another hospital for treatment.
"To enable the GWH to treat all of its current patients, the ophthalmology department is no longer accepting new patient referrals from 1 January until they are able to recover from a situation whereby new referrals were being seen in a more timely manner than those requiring follow-up assessment.
"The department will continue to care for existing patients and receive any new emergency referrals.
"New patients have the option of different healthcare providers, who all provide the same level of treatment.
"Swindon CCG has made arrangements for any patient who has to travel to another hospital, to receive transport at no cost to the patient."

Large Deviations Approach to Bayesian Nonparametric Consistency: the Case of Polya Urn Sampling
The Bayesian Sanov Theorem (BST) identifies, under both correct and incorrect specification of infinite dimensional model, the points of concentration of the posterior measure. Utilizing this insight in the context of Polya urn sampling, Bayesian nonparametric consistency is established. Polya BST is also used to provide an extension of Maximum Non-parametric Likelihood and Empirical Likelihood methods to the Polya case.

Designer of the World's Most Popular Gun Dies After a Lifetime of Sleeping Well
Peter Z. Scheer
Mikhail Kalashnikov is dead 64 years after creating the AK-47, a gun so simple, cheap and effective, it continues to be the weapon of choice for the world's killers.
He was inspired while recovering from injuries sustained in the fight against Nazi Germany. Hitler's army had more advanced weapons, and Kalashnikov developed an automatic rifle for the masses. Vladimir Putin called it "a symbol of the creative genius of our people."
Because the AK-47 is simple and reliable, it works in rough conditions where other guns fail, making it the perfect weapon for dirty wars, literally.
More than 100 million of the guns and derivative models have been made. We may never know what multiple of that number have died at the other end of the barrel.
Six years ago, the gun's designer confronted the bloody nature of his famous invention: "I sleep well. It's the politicians who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence."
He died Monday at the age of 94, a hero in Russia, and the architect of much suffering.

Jerry West
AP Photo
The original inspiration for the NBA logo, West wore the tightly cropped military cut that basically every kid in the late 1950s imitated, and it's a style that has quietly made a comeback in the past year or so. In later life, West somehow managed to pull-off a Don Draper-esque 'do.
Russell Westbrook
Danny Moloshok/AP Photo
We should have anticipated the glass-less glasses and loud prints when Westbrook unveiled a flaming fauxhawk (with a basketball emblazoned on the side) of his head back in the day with the Bruins. It's not one of the great looks of all time, but as a haircut, it's so courageous that we had to give it a nod.
Dean Meminger
Image courtesy of Marquette
The Marquette guard who played in the late '60s and early '70s under the legendary Al McGuire wore his hair in the style of a 19th-century abolitionist—a parted afro that is as cool as any cut we came across, yet no one wears today. Please, let's bring back the Frederick Douglass.
Carmelo Anthony
AP Photo
Allen Iverson and countless others were already wearing cornrows by the time Melo jumped on the scene and took Syracuse to the national title in 2003, but Melo gets credit for rocking the rows like no other. And with Anthony hailing from Baltimore, you have to think that the locks must have influenced another famous cornrow wearer—Snoop from The Wire.
Adam Morrison
AP Photo/Elaine Thompson
This pick has as much to do with the mustache as it does with the hair. It all seemed like either a joke—the floppy hair, the porn-stache—or an incredible homage to Larry Bird. But this was way back in 2006—a full three years before the New York Times' Style section ran their piece on the Great Mustache Comeback. Everyone thought it was ironic, but it seems unlikely that this kid had anything but earnestness at his core—especially in his epic breaking-down-at-half-court-bawl-fest after Gonzaga's last-second loss to UCLA in the tourney.
Kelly Olynyk
There's nothing particularly fresh about Olynyk's lack of haircut, but it's refreshing to see a college player (Gonzaga, again) with long, flowing hair, even if it makes him look like the kid from Dazed and Confused. Plus, the guy once sat on the bench wearing an electric blue bowtie after being suspended for three games.
Jamal Mashburn
Way before Nerlens leapt onto the scene, Jamal Mashburn rocked a more conservative (dare we say classic?) high-top fade during his Kentucky tenure—before he made the mistake of shaving his head Michael Jordan-bald.
Jimmy Jackson
The simple, shaved part has been done before, but few have done it better than Jackson while he was at Ohio State.

New to Xcode 4.6
New to Xcode 4.6
Mar 8, 2013 at 4:35am UTC
Whats up guys?!
So ive been using cpp.com for a while now but just registered so i can get help and hopefully offer help once i get better.
My question regards the way xcode saves your work. So im working on a command line tool application and when i save my work (i saved it as "practice"), it creates a folder called practice. Now within that folder, there is the actual xcode project, and also another folder named practice. and in this folder there is a main.cpp file and another one.
My question is, how do i create the main.cpp file? without having to create an entire command line tool application? like, i can code in that main.cpp file, which is what i want because it is so much cleaner and simpler than coding in the actual xcode app.
another reason is because for my class, we have to upload a "Though Provoking Questions" file. its basically questions about our program that we must answer and so i just save it with the extension .tpq and upload it to the schools computer. I know this paragraph may be confusing to some, but believe me. ive done it with nedit and it works this way.
Mar 8, 2013 at 5:09am UTC
I presume xcode does this to group all the files used in the project together. In the beginning, you may be only using one file for all your code but when you work on anything bigger then you'll want to have multiple files. xcode is just grouping all those files together in the one folder; if you just manually create the files yourself in some random directory, it'll probably be much more annoying to use xcode to compile them.
Mar 8, 2013 at 5:41pm UTC
ohhh okay. but the main.cpp file is what contains the actual code. if i open that file, its just a clean and plain source code editor, the files extension is .cpp. the other one has a .xcodeproj extension. so what is the main.cpp file?
they both allow to work on the code, but the .cpp one is cleaner and simpler. whereas the .xcodeproj one actually opens up all of xcode and its features on the sides of it.

Meet Jack Irish, criminal lawyer, debt collector, football lover, turf watcher, trainee cabinetmaker, and one of the best crime characters ever created.
When Jack receives a puzzling message from a jailed ex-client he's too deep in misery over Fitzroy's latest loss to take much notice. Next thing Jack knows, the ex-client's dead and he's been drawn into a life-threatening investigation involving high-level corruption, dark sexual secrets, shonky property deals, and murder. With hitmen after him, shady ex-policemen at every turn, and the body count rising, Jack needs to find out what's going on—and fast.
The first novel in the iconic Jack Irish series, Bad Debts was originally published in 1996 and won the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Novel. Peter Temple went on to win the Miles Franklin Award in 2010 for Truth as well many other awards and accolades both in Australia and internationally. It has been made into a tele-movie by the ABC with Guy Pearce starring as Jack Irish. It will screen in August 2012.

Comments about Bad Debts:
This was my first Peter Temple read and I can now say I have read all of his books and have not been disappointed with any of them.True Australian caricatures brought to life with a dark witty humour.One of the best things is I recognize most of the places it all takes place.Once you start it like all of his books you have to finish it.

Comments about Bad Debts:
Bad language is unfortunate but quite within character. I would recommend it but with a warning about the language. I enjoyed the story. now I'm looking for more Jack Irish.
Best Uses
Comments about Bad Debts:
I did not like this book....the bad language and swearing were rather 'over the top', making it too annoying to try and concentrate on the plot.
'Fortunately, Text Publishing last year began the welcome and long-overdue project of ensuring that Temple's entire backlist, which includes four Jack Irish novels and five stand-alones, is available on these shores...Irish is tough and resourceful, yes, but it's the way Temple brings out his fear, desire, humor, and self-doubt that ranks him among the most interesting series heroes.' * Booklist US * 'Having read the new novels of Michael Connelly and Martin Cruz Smith, I have to say that Temple belongs in their company. Australia is a long way off, but this bloke is world-class.' * Washington Post * 'One of the world's finest crime writers.' * The Times * `Unlike many good crime stories, this one can be related to our immediate environment. It incorporates icons and mediums which are very much part of most Australians' lives...These are the elements which make Bad Debts such a good crime novel. From the unforgettable cast of characters to the events which pre-destine their lives, the story literally explodes off the pages.' * Geelong Advertiser * `Temple can be as tough as nails, but also displays a wickedly droll sense of humour which, like the work of, say, the American writer Joe R. Lansdale, frequently has the reader holding his sides with laughter even while immersed in some particularly unpleasant scenario...With Bad Debts Temple has created a world-class novel.' * Sydney Morning Herald * `The prose is tight, the pace breathless, the dialogue inspired, and Temple's take on the Victorians' football mania hilarious.' * Sun-Herald * `Like his characters, Temple has a spare, funny delivery, and a sharp eye for a target...Temple writes with the urgency of someone who wants to disrupt an official investigation, and his story is kept up like taut wire. Brothers and sisters in crime, worship at the Temple.' * Australian * 'Bad Debts is wonderful, quintessentially Australian stuff, full of authentic, diehard types, old culture cops, backstreet humour and inner-city dialogue you can overhear in the bars of certain hotels, the ones with framed pictures of horses on the walls. it is the genuine article and an absolute pearler of a read.' * Australian Book Review *

Date: February 4, 2014 PIO Number: 14-2-8
The Broward Sheriff's Office paired deputies from the agency's Civil Division with deputies from Crime Suppression Teams countywide for Operation Family Matters, which targeted people who haven't paid court-ordered child support payments and those with domestic violence injunctions.
The teams served 11 domestic violence injunctions, also known as restraining orders, and arrested seven people for failure to pay child support. The teams started out with 60 arrest warrants and 53 injunctions. It was the first time the Civil Divison has ever worked hand-in-hand with the Crime Suppression Teams to serve restraining orders and failure to pay child support payment warrants.
"Domestic violence is a serious problem. It's something we can't ignore. And when a parent doesn't pay child support, children suffer. Families struggle," Sheriff Scott Israel said. "This is the difficult, sometimes dangerous, work that our civil deputies do everyday that positively affects families, and my staff and I are dedicated to finding the most efficient way to get it done."
In 2013, the Civil Division served 5,015 restraining orders, up from 4,736 in 2012. In 2013, Civil deputies served 316 arrest warrants for failure to pay child support, up from 157 in 2012.
The division carries out the sheriff's statutory responsibility for the service of process and execution of writs. Annually, the division processes and serves more than 315,000 documents. These documents originate from the courts, governmental agencies and private attorneys in Florida and throughout the United States and include summonses, complaints and subpoenas, writs of possession for real estate, injunctions for protection against domestic violence, writs of garnishment and arrest orders. The Civil Division also enforces levies and writs of attachment and conducts sheriff's sales to aid in the collection of money judgments.

A Little Something for the Ladies ...
I don't follow Camilo Villegas on Twitter, because he doesn't come off as a very funny guy, and I'd rather not waste my time reading about, well, whatever the hell Camilo Villegas would Tweet about.
But, spotted by Wei Under Par, was a picture of Villegas sans any clothes. He took the picture after a workout, and anyone would have to admit the man is in pretty damn impressive shape. That isn't really why I posted this. Why I did was because it made my morning reading the comments from some of his lady friends.
can you say 6 PACK....love it Spiderman. Try not to give an old lady a heart attack though. One can dream I suppose
ooooh my! camilo are you trying to give us a heart attack!!
Perdón... Cara? Ahhhh si... Miercoles, camilo, que disciplina... Por no decir otra cosa. Me reservo mis otros comentarios por respeto a mi novio. Notese el énfasis en disciplina... Jajaja
I'm not sure what the last one means, but I'm sure it was something like, "Dude, what is that strap below your boobs?"
Anyway, lady fans, enjoy the picture. I hope that this made your day, or gave you a heart attack or ahhhh si ... mercoles.

For more than a decade, Google's search ad business has seemed almost magical in its ability to mint money.
But the magic is beginning to wear off, as changing digital behaviour on mobile phones and even on desktops threatens Google's main business.
The company pleased analysts and shareholders when it announced better-than-expected third-quarter financial results on Thursday. Still, the report revealed that, as its desktop search business matures, the price that advertisers pay when they click on ads has continued to fall.
"Google's core desktop search business was probably the best internet business ever created," said Jordan Rohan, an internet analyst at Stifel Nicolaus. "Every other business they're in, whether it be mobile search or tablet computers or YouTube, just doesn't look as good from a margin perspective."
Google's core business, selling ads on Google.com and other sites it owns, increased 22 per cent year over year. It is a notable rate after four quarters of sub-20 per cent growth, although still lower than the 35 per cent growth rates of two years ago. And the price that advertisers pay each time someone clicks on an ad decreased for the eighth quarter in a row, according to data collected by BGC Partners. It fell 8 per cent from the same period last year, largely because mobile ads cost less than desktop ones.
"Google makes 90 per cent of its money in the web world, and it's in the wrong place," said George Colony, the chief executive of Forrester Research.
Google reported third-quarter revenue of $US14.89 billion ($15.45 billion), up 12 per cent from a year ago. Net revenue, which excludes payments to ad partners, was $US11.92 billion, up from $US11.33 billion. Net income rose to $US2.97 billion, or $US8.75 a share, from $US2.18 billion, or $US6.53 a share. Excluding the cost of stock options, Google's third-quarter profit was $US10.74 a share.
The results exceeded the expectations of analysts, who had predicted revenue of $US14.82 billion and earnings, excluding the cost of stock options, of $US10.35 a share. Analysts said they had given more conservative estimates this quarter, because they had an increasingly negative sentiment about Google after several quarters in which its results did not live up to their expectations.
Shares jumped more than 6 per cent in after-hours trading.
Included in the results was a $US248 million operating loss at Motorola Mobility. Google has drastically cut costs at Motorola and introduced the Moto X phone, but its losses are expanding.
Google is still the leader in online advertising, earning 41 per cent of all digital ad revenues and 53 per cent of mobile ad revenues, according to eMarketer. Yet the advertising business is changing under its feet.
People are spending vastly more time on mobile devices, and a third of clicks on Google are now mobile, according to the Search Agency, a digital marketing firm. Clicks on computers last quarter were flat, while clicks on tablets increased 63 per cent and clicks on phones more than doubled, the firm reported.
The problem is that mobile ads cost between half and two-thirds as much as desktop ads, and they lead to purchases just a quarter to a third of the time. The disparity is that, because advertisers have not figured out the best format for mobile ads, it is harder to track their effectiveness and it is more cumbersome for consumers to buy things on small screens.
Meanwhile, digital advertising is also changing on computers. Ads are becoming more personalised, such as social ads that include endorsements from a person's friends, and automated, like programmatic advertising, which are bought by computers in real-time and target individuals instead of broad audience groups.
As the ad landscape changes, Google has been introducing new tools for advertisers. It offers programmatic ad buying for display, video and mobile ads. Last week it announced a change that would allow it to show people's social networking activity, like photos and comments, in ads across the web.
And over the past few months it has introduced new mobile ad tools, like one to track consumers across devices and tell marketers whether a consumer makes a purchase on a computer after researching it on a phone.
Advertisers and analysts have also been abuzz about Google's enhanced campaigns program, which became mandatory in July and requires advertisers to buy mobile ads when they buy desktop ones. Yet according to reports from a wide variety of advertisers, the program has not significantly increased the amount they are spending on Google ads.
Meanwhile, Google's ad innovations have brought a backlash from privacy advocates and some consumers. In recent weeks, Google faced an uproar over its plan to use personal information in ads and lawsuits over personalised ads in Gmail.
Still, analysts say the privacy challenges have not affected Google's financial results so far.
"It's just noise," said Colin Gillis, a technology analyst at BGC.

Hi I'm trying to add a new language to DrScheme. I've already implemented main.ss, lang/reader.ss and info.ss. (so require, #lang and DrScheme all work). But I don't have my module directory inside collects, so DrScheme won't see it (module... see it because I added it to that language's collects). How can I add this directory to DrScheme? Must I change an environment variable or can I do it by changing one or two files or configuring DrScheme for that? Also, I want to distribute DrScheme with this language to some students for testing. Is there a way to create a minimized installer with only scheme, DrScheme, debug tools and my language? Mind that my language needs to use MysterX, so I need to run the scripts to register the dlls. And they're architecture students, so I can't just tell them to run regsrv32 mysterx.dll :-) Thanks for your help, F

CAMPING will go ahead at Alresford Music Festival this summer.
The town council has unanimously agreed to allow people to erect tents on the recently-purchase field next to Arlebury Park at the one-day event in July.
Organisers believe it will help attract more people to the outdoor event, now in its fourth year.
But the town council will not be opening up Alresford Recreation Centre overnight because of security and insurance issues.
The organisers will provide toilets and washing facilities, the council heard.

After the long string of horror games, action games, shooters, horror shooters and action shooters that made up the majority of the first announcements at E3 2014, Nintendo's Digital Event has offered a pleasant antidote with new titles like an open world Legend of Zelda and an ultra-kawaii trailer for yarn-based platformer Yoshi's Woolly World.
The latter title will no doubt remind Nintendo fans of another very woolly platformer title from 2010: Kirby's Epic Yarn. Not to be left out of this year's E3, Kirby himself has also shown up in the announcement trailer for his next adventure, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. A sequel to 2005's Kirby: Canvas Curse, Rainbow Curse's mechanics look very similar in the sense that Kirby is controlled by using the stylus to draw rainbow lines that he can roll on, or by poking the little pink puffball to get him moving.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is coming to the Wii U in 2015 and will be GamePad-centric. The trailer demonstrates some of the different vehicles that Kirby can transform into, including a submarine, a tank and a rocket. He's also shown turning himself into a cannonball and firing himself into Whispy Woods' big bark-covered face during a boss fight.
The Kirby games have enjoyed sustained success over the past twenty years, and recent 3DS release Kirby: Triple Deluxe received almost universally reviews (including one from Game Rant). Those who enjoyed Canvas Curse will no doubt be delighted to see the revival of that game's stylus-oriented gameplay, and gamer parents who are looking for a title to share with their kids should definitely keep an eye out for this release next year.
Was Kirby and the Rainbow Curse your favorite game reveal from Nintendo at E3 2014? Tell us in the comments what you think of the upcoming roster of Wii U games.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse will be available on Wii U some time in 2015.

Juvederm, Voluma & Restylane – Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
"I got Juvederm to my lips a week ago. I almost regretted my decision right after, but now, a week later… I love it!! Very subtle, and natural looking. Love the results!!"- Leah
Although hyaluronic acid sounds scary, it is a completely safe and natural substance that naturally occurs in our bodies. In general, this "next generation" category of injectable facial filler goes deeper and lasts longer than the older style collagen injections, and is effective for deeper lines and larger areas.
What Does Juvederm & Restylane Do?
Ideal for nasolabial folds (the creases from the nose to the mouth), and useful for shaping the nose where there are divots or where minor surgical correction is needed, these fillers are also popular for the hollow area under the eye (medically known as the tear trough) as well as for the jaw line and other facial areas where the skin's volume and fullness has been lost. Juvederm and Restylane also work well for deep wrinkles, folds, creases and lines and for plumping up the lips. View before and after photos of patients who have received filler injections.
What Does Voluma Do?
Voluma is an advanced hyaluronic acid that is ideal for placement in the mid-face, along the cheeks and jawline to revitalize the volume in these areas.
Who Are Injectable Fillers For?
Any man or woman with deep lines, creases or decreased volume in small areas of the face or those wanting extra volume in the lips is a candidate for for the injectable fillers Restylane, Voluma and Juvederm.
What's the Difference Between Juvederm and Restylane and When Do You Use Which?
Juvederm is a more recent formulation and can last as long as 9-12 months. Restylane is another version of a hyaluronic acid filler, with results that typically last from 6-9 months and produced by a different manufacturer. For new patients, we recommend Juvederm because it is considered "next generation" and lasts longer. For any patient who has had success with Restylane and wants to continue to use this product because of their comfort level with it, then we simply use Restylane.
How Long Do the Fillers Last?
Restylane typically lasts 6-9 months, Juvederm can last as long as 9-12 months and Voluma typically lasts for two years.
Advantages of Juvederm & Restylane
In addition to working quite well on facial lines, folds and wrinkles, a nice feature of both Restylane and Juvederm is that if there is every any problem or reaction, both products can be instantly melted away with a simple in injection. We have never seen a problem in our practice, but it's very comforting for patients to know that the material can be instantly dissolved. This feature is unique to the hyaluronic acid fillers.
View before and after photos of patients who have had Juvederm, Voluma or Restylane.
If you are considering a facial filler, such as Juvederm, Voluma or Restylane, to plump the hollow areas or creases to restore a more youthful appearance, contact us to schedule a consultation with Denver plastic surgeon Dr. Slenkovich.

Dazzling array of Bengali book covers
While I'm on the subject of Indian lettering, I should give a shout to this exquisite collection of book covers posted to Flickr by Quinn Dombrowski. The range of lettering and illustration styles shown in these covers will blow your mind, I hope, and show a little something about the richness of the lettering tradition in those scripts. And dig those rich lithography colors!
Most of the covers feature Bengali lettering, but there's a handful of books in Arabic and some other Indic scripts, as well. Apparently "these books were acquired for the University of Chicago from the Library of Congress Field Offices in New Delhi and Islamabad". The collection currently lives in the PK (Indo-Iranian languages and literatures) section of the University of Chicago's Regenstein library, so if you're in that area I'm officially jealous and urge you to go look at them in person.

The word out of the athletes' village is a change has come over Lydia Lassila. Normally, she's the happy, bouncing pocket rocket, but this version of Lassila is focused, bordering on cranky.
She is seemingly angry with the world as she prepares to defend her aerial freestyle title on Saturday morning, Melbourne time.
Earlier this week, she blasted host broadcaster Network Ten for dramatising some routine falls in practice. Now she has come out swinging in defence of her peers, insisting they have every right to criticise the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park course.
''It's not bitching and moaning,'' Lassila said. ''It's frustration and disappointment. You have to sympathise with them.
''Those people who have had a really hard time on their course, you have to remember they've worked so hard for this moment, and they can't do their best because the course won't allow them. You might feel like it's being overdone, but the athletes have worked all their lives for this. There's nothing more disappointing for them.''
While her Australian teammate Torah Bright has been critical of the construction company used to make the halfpipe and slopestyle courses, Lassila said the aerials jumps were more than acceptable.
It is the warm weather that's the lingering problem, but she insists conditions were more problematic in Vancouver four years ago, when she won gold.
''The weather is warm and that makes any snow sport challenging,'' she said. ''Things do get pretty sticky out there. It means everything to a lot of events. You saw in the halfpipe what it can do to the greatest of the greats. That is an issue.
''Our team is doing very well. We learnt a lot from the Vancouver Olympics, because we had very similar conditions. Actually, probably worse, where people would ski through the jumps basically, instead of off them.
''To do what we do, when you are hitting the jumps at 60km/h, that does mean it can make a massive difference.
''It's no one's fault. The conditions of these mountains are volatile. They're close to the coast, the same as Vancouver. When you get warm weather, you get warm weather. It's the same for everyone.''
Weather could determine if Lassila will try the fabled quad-twisting triple somersault she completed in training on Tuesday.
No woman had ever landed it, in training or competition, and she now heads into her Olympic title defence knowing she has the jump in her back pocket that will secure gold.
''Yeah, I can do it [in competition],'' she said. ''I have to make it through all the rounds of our format. I wouldn't do it on the first round, because it's elimination. Scores don't carry across.
''If I was going to do it I would save it until the last jump. I've still got some more to figure out still. I'll probably figure that out on the day. Just polishing up a few things … it's coming together.''
Australia has a full quota in the aerials competition. Danielle Scott was third at last year's world titles, Laura Peel has won medals on the World Cup circuit, and Samantha Wells fills the other position.
Lassila's greatest threat is China's reigning world champion Xu Mengtao. If anyone can replicate her quad-twisting triple, it's Xu.
Either way, this looms as Lassila's final competition: ''I have a feeling it is. I'm 32 and want to spend time with my family. I'm on a tail-end and reaching my full potential.''

And Other Stories signs Ivan Vladislavić
And Other Stories has acquired the new novel by prize-winning South African author Ivan Vladislavić.
World English language Rights (excluding South Africa) in Double Negative were acquired from Isobel Dixon at Blake Friedmann.
The novel focuses on apartheid-era university dropout Neville Lister whose life is changed when he is sent to meet photographer Saul Auerbach.
Double Negative is lined up for autumn 2013. It will be represented by Faber Factory Plus in the UK and Europe, Repforce in Ireland, InterMedia Americana in Latin America and Consortium in North America.
Stefan Tobler, And Other Stories publisher, said: "There's no doubt in my mind that Ivan Vladislavićis one of the major writers in English. After Deborah Levy and Helen DeWitt, he is only the third novelist we have picked who writes in English. Like them, this is an extraordinary writer who is confident on the world stage."
