In the attached picture, I made sure there was no uneven lighting and that I was facing the lens straight on.
One of my Nostrils is Higher and Less Attached Than the Other. Can This Be Fixed?

Nostril assymetry
Correction of uneven nostrils can often be a challenging procedure. They can often be made more symmetric with a surgical procedure, similar to a nostril narrowing procedure.

Uneven nostrils
From the one picture provided I would say that the asymetry you are concerned with is well within the normal asymetries (assuming no prior surgeies) everyone has to some extent between the two halves of the face. It is barely noticable. Fixing this is not easy matter and unlikely to give a "perfect" result. Leave it alone.
Uneven nostrils
Sometimes the nostrils can be adjusted depending upon how they look in other views as well( worm's eye). However, I would caution against doing anything.

Nostril Asymmetry
It looks as if you have a slight facial asymmetry where the left side of your face is a little smaller than the right. This causes the nasal tip to lean towards one side. The septum typically leans as well in those situations. This results in mild tip deviation and nostril asymmetry as you have shown in the photograph. The facial asymmetry also typically causes one nostril to look attached at a higher or lower point than the other.
A surgery including septoplasty and a small graft underneath your nostril attachment can typically correct this quite nicely. The other option is to have some filler injected underneath that nostril and see if the new appearance is what you were hoping for.
Best of luck
Uneven Nostrils
A conservative procedure can improve the appearance but perfect symmetry is not possible. Choose an experienced surgeon who has reasonable goals - attempting perfection can be a disaster in the base of the nose.
A well-performed Injectable Filler procedure may be employed to lower your right nostril.
I read your concern and reviewed your photo. In my practice, I have had good success, and many happy patients lowering nostril margins with Silikon-1000, an off-label permanent filler. I've attached a photo from my RealSelf gallery demonstrating this effect.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Improving Nasal Asymmetry due to Uneven Nostrils
Hi Snow589 in Maine,
I agree with my collegues that asymmetry is not only in the nostrils, but also the face. Facial asymmetry is very common, and may not be appreciated until one visits the plastic surgeon. Facial asymmetry contributes to the nose leaning to one side. In addition, the nasal septum is deviated as well causing the tip of the nose and nostrils to be uneven.
Plastic surgery treatment would involve a septoplasty with rhinoplasty. Small grafts may be required around the nostrils to further improve symmetry. While the goal is perfect symmetry, there may always be a degree of irregularity despite treatment. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon or rhinoplasty specialist help determine appropriate options for you.
Best of luck

Alar rim grafts and composite grafts can help lower your nostrils through rhinoplasty
Alar rim grafts and composite grafts can help lower your nostrils through rhinoplasty. Remember though that every person is asymmetric and this is built into our neuroanatomy to choose asymmetrically our mates. I don't see that the attachment is much different from each side but other pictures would help. Alar rim grafts are cartilage grafts that are put along the nostril margin or rim (hence called rim grafts) to help lower the rim. Composite grafts are made up of ear cartilage grafts that are a composite of skin and cartilage. This combination allows you to lower the rim even more when this is incoporated.
One of my Nostrils is Higher and Less Attached Than the Other. Can This Be Fixed?
As ALL the expert posters state YES! But best to see a very experience rhinoplasty surgeon in your area. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski
Treatment for uneven nostrils (PHOTO)
Although the degree of asymmetry can reduced with an alar-facial groove incision and lower lateral cartilage rim graft, perfect symmetry may be difficult to achieve.

Nobody knew we where coming, what, when and how we had booked Apparently the room we had booked was already taken, so they gave us a room at a different location + an additional fee of 3%, because of paying with a credit card Besides these obvious problems, the so called "office" we met the manager was a room full off trash, unwashed dishes and dirt... to say it in a short way: unprofessional!! We ended up canceling all nights, after we found out the sheets on the bed weren't changed...

The Helicopter Association International (HAI) will offer registered attendees no fewer than 44 educational seminars during the three-day event's rotor safety challenge at next week's Heli-Expo show in Anaheim, Calif. The event opens with NTSB-led sessions covering lessons learned from helicopter accidents in which investigators will look at the facts gathered through safety recommendations related to pilot training and helicopter maintenance. Information recovered from flight data recorders will also be used to fuel a best-practices discussion from a number of industry experts.
Other HAI sessions will look at prime helicopter-specific topics such as the real meaning of a data-driven safety system, the unintended consequences that come with today's modern cockpit technology, and the best methods for flight department managers and crews to talk about safety with their bosses.
Another session will focus on the International Helicopter Safety Team's list of "12 dangerous things to do in flight" by connecting each to a specific accident. Other sessions include rotor-blade preventive maintenance, managing operational fatigue and facing the future in helicopter training.

Deciding whether a produce item is a specialty item can be tricky because there's no universally accepted definition for the category. Geography, clientele, availability and handling requirements can all play into whether an item is considered a specialty.
Some shippers said that although the category can include tropical produce, some types of tropical produce are not specialties in certain parts of the U.S.
"Many of the items we handle are commodities in different parts of the country," said John Vena, president of specialty produce house John Vena Inc., Philadelphia.
"Fresh herbs, tropical fruits and vegetables — those are bigger volume items, but for some they are still considered specialties."
John Vena Inc., located on the Philadelphia Regional Produce Market, handles more than 2,000 specialty stock-keeping units, Vena said. He said ethnic produce items should be grouped under specialties because they require special attention.
"Our products fall into a couple of categories," said Karen Caplan, president and chief executive officer of specialty produce company Frieda's Inc., Los Alamitos, Calif.
The first category is items that used to be specialties but now are more accurately called specialty commodities, she said. The second is what Caplan called "true specialties," such as gourmet items.
Eddie Caram, general manager for tropical produce shipper New Limeco LLC, Princeton, Fla., said he thinks the label "specialty" sends a message that an item is either expensive or not consistently available.
New Limeco carries about 40 items, many of which are associated with particular ethnic cuisines and might be called specialties, but they are available year-round.
The company's products include mangoes, papayas, Persian limes, tropical root vegetables, yuca and chayote. Its top selling items are limes, Florida avocados and papayas.
New Limeco items that Caram said he thinks of as true specialties are guava, lychee, kumquat, mamey, habanero and cachucha peppers, and starfruit.
Brooks Tropicals Inc., Homestead, Fla., sells more than 28 tropical stock-keeping units, said Mary Ostlund, marketing director. The Caribbean Red papaya is the company's top seller, followed by its SlimCado-brand avocado, starfruit, Uniq fruit and Caribbean Sunrise solo papaya. Ostlund said she sees papayas as being mainstream items now.
"There are certain markets where I think it's a highly prized staple," she said.
Ostlund said having papayas viewed as specialty items can be good.
"In a way, I hate to give up (the label of) 'specialties,'" she said. "It's a way of saying, 'Hey, try this!'"
Some shippers said fresh herbs are part of the specialty category, but Camilo Penalosa, vice president of business development for Miami-based Infinite Herbs, said he wouldn't say all fresh herbs are specialties.
Cilantro, mint and parsley are some of what he calls mainstream herbs, while fresh rosemary, chives and thyme are specialties, he said. And there's another category of "super specialties" that includes lavender, lovage, summer savory, chocolate mint and other herbs that might be used occasionally or primarily by chefs, Penalosa said.
Infinite Herbs' top selling item is fresh basil, which accounts for 40% to 60% of its sales, Penalosa said. The company sells other specialty items, including baby bok choy, tomatillos, sugar cane, rosemary skewers, organic ginger, baby carrots and squash blossoms.
Charlie Eagle, vice president of business development for Southern Specialties Inc., Pompano Beach, Fla., said some people might consider asparagus a specialty, but he doesn't. It is the largest commodity handled by the company. He said he would, however, consider the company's white asparagus, pre-trimmed asparagus and value-added microwaveable asparagus packages to be specialty items.
Eagle said he defines a specialty as a low-volume item that customers order in a single pallet or less.
"We like to transition from products that are actually very low volume and bring them along to something with mass appeal," Eagle said. "I think all of our items would be considered specialties by some people."
Robert Schueller, public relations director for World Variety Produce Inc., Los Angeles, said specialty items are those that cannot be found in every produce department in the U.S. They might appeal to certain demographics or be highly seasonal. Rambutans, for example, are specialties, he said.
World Variety handles about 800 varieties of specialty produce. Melissa's Baby Dutch Yellow potatoes are one of the best known specialties items it sells, Schueller said.
Los Angeles-based Harvest Sensations' high volume specialties are baby vegetables, fresh herbs and asparagus, said Gwen Kvavli Gulliksen, vice president of marketing. The company handles hundreds of specialty produce items and new ones are added frequently.
Kvavli Gulliksen said she envisions the specialty produce category as a pyramid with three tiers.
The pyramid's base represents specialties such as baby vegetables, fresh herbs, some asparagus varieties, snow peas and other items that are somewhat common but not yet in every U.S. kitchen.
The second tier is items that consumers still are learning about, including Harvest Sensations' hand-cut Circus cauliflower (green, orange and purple florets) and tri-colored baby beets.
The pyramid's peak represents items that are rare in supermarkets, such as shucked English peas, some wild mushrooms, wild strawberries and ramps. Availability of top-tier items is limited by seasonality and perishability.
"There's a lot of opportunity in the second tier," Kvavli Gulliksen said. "That's where the growth is."

As told to 7x7 by Danny Louie of Alembic:
"While working on a mellow night at the bar, I struck up a conversation with my G.M. about drinks in general. He pointed out Anchor Distilling's HOPHEAD Vodka. Once I smelled it, I was immediately transported in my mind to a bontanical garden.
That thought then carried me to a fond memory of a childhood family vacation. It's always interesting how scents evoke memories. On that trip, we picked fresh strawberries from my uncle's Seattle farm. It was then that I was inspired to play off the hops with strawberries and then using Zirbenz Stone pine liqueur to enhance the piney notes from the vodka and lemon juice to brighten the cocktail.
Upon sipping this drink you get all of the different sensations of walking through a garden, picking strawberries and smelling pine and fresh leaves after a rainy night.
A vodka cocktail with strawberries? Why the hell not?!
1 1/2 oz HOPHEAD Vodka
3/4 oz Zirbenz Stone pine
3/4 oz Fresh strawberry juice w/ xanthan gum*
3/4 oz Lemon juice
1/2 oz Simple syrup
Combine all ingredients in a shaking tin and give it a short shake, five seconds. Strain into an old fashioned glass with three medium sized ice cubes.
*Fresh strawberry juice with xanthan gum for texture and mouthfeel:
Set your digital scale to grams. Juice a pint of a strawberries. Weigh the rendered liquid from the strawberries. Add .01% grams of xanthan gum to your total weight of rendered liquid and mix with an immersion blender fine strain the liquid and bottle.

There are several signs o'doom for NASA bubbling up out there
GALEX is going into standby mode in preparation for shut down.
It is working fine, but past its design lifetime, as so many NASA satellites do nowadays, and there is no more money for mission operation and data analysis.
There is a rumour that Caltech hustled for some private money to extend MODA, but they may not be able to do it anyway, because of liability and ownership issues.
So it goes.
At the same time there is SenseOfImpendingDoom at NASA – lot of 2011-12 programs appear effectively suspended pending the 2012-13 budget, to the point where an entire funding cycle will be lost for some lines.
Turns out the White House has given NASA the heads-up and they had to tell ESA some, and ESA has no compunction about talking.
Beeb story on NASA ESA break on Mars
Ed Weiler tells all about why he left NASA
not unrelated to :
ExoMars cuts – part of big NASA cuts rumoured in President's budget request for 2013
This is partly JWST needing to find pocket change, and partly, presumably, the general onset of austerity and all 'round cuts.
This is going to hurt.
Real bad.

This week, the first spears of Scottish asparagus - named 'albaragus' - were harvested from a farm in Inchinnan after two farmers decided last year to plant 30,000 asparagus crowns and see what happened.
The vegetable is notorious for preferring dry weather conditions - not ordinarily found in the farm's Renfrewshire location. However, the farm's produce prospered and the farmers behind the venture - Robert Ritchie and James Mackie - are now proud to call it a success and can list themselves among the handful of Scottish farms growing asparagus.
Loading article content
But how does it compare to what's already out there? We compare this locally-grown Scottish asparagus to its supermarket rivals…
Name 1: Albaragus.
Name 2: Asparagus.
Name 3: Asparagus.
Brand 1: Barnhill Farm.
Brand 2: The upmarket supermarket where wages go to die.
Brand 3: A supermarket whose name rhymes with Gwyneth Paltrow's blog. Kind of.
Price 1: £3 per 250g bundle.
Price 2: £2.50 per 200g bundle.
Price 3: £1.69 per 170g bundle.
When picked 1: Less than 24 hours ago.
When picked 2: Unspecified.
When picked 3: Judging by its looks, age more difficult to determine than Cher's.
Where grown 1: A field minutes from Glasgow airport, an area usually reserved for clandestinely winching air stewards (probably).
Where grown 2: Wye Valley, by the Chinn family. This isn't just any Chinn family, either. This is the M&S Chinn family.
Where grown 3: An unspecified region of Peru. Anywhere in an area measuring 1,285,216km2, then.
Appearance 1: A slim and sinuous body topped with a quiff Elvis would envy.
Appearance 2: Supersized, with an on-trend purple to green ombre effect.
Appearance 3: As thick and off-green in colour as a gangrenous finger.
Smell 1: Nothing.
Smell 2: Clean.
Smell 3: Kissed by angels. Angels wearing detergent flavoured lip-balm.
To touch 1: Like a magic wand.
To touch 2: Like a rubber band.
To touch 3: Like a dead hand.
Taste test 1: Sweet and crisp. Eat raw as a snack.
Taste test 2: Squeaky on the teeth but relatively mild. Eat raw if nails down a blackboard don't bother you.
Taste test 3: Neutral flavours to begin, finishing in a bitter after-taste. Eat raw if you hate your taste buds.
Barnhill farm's 'albaragus' is available to buy from the farm's on-site asparagus hut. Find out more on the business at facebook.com/BarnhillAsparagus

We trundled out to see Moonrise Kingdom last night, the new Wes Anderson film with an ensemble cast that includes Frances McDormand, Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Ed Norton and most importantly, two young actors, Jared Gilman as Sam and and Kara Hayward as Suzy.
What can I say about this film? I guess you could call it a summer camp love story about two somewhat troubled youngsters who meet one summer, become pen pals and vow to run off together the next year when the Sam is a scout camp. The potential exists here for one dreary film, but Moonrise Kingdom is anything by dreary.
It is clever, funny, very charming, and all around delightful. The cast is perfect and the kids do a fine and understated job. Even Bruce Willis is good in this film, and I have a very very low Bruce Willis tolerance level. The adults see these kids as dysfunctional but of course it is the adults all around them who are dysfunctional. The kids are finding their way, charmed by the naive magic of youth.
This is the best film I've seen in some time. Just go see it now.
For my fellow Canadians out there, Happy Canada Day.
And to my friends celebrating Pride this weekend, have a great party!

Since we aren't heavy matrix users (yet anyway) it doesn't matter that much to us. This solution is not as good as being able to define new operators in Python itself. On the other hand, perhaps it is a better solution than having '*' have different meanings for different flavors of arrays. That's magic of a different sort, and just as prone to causing problems. So I think it is arguable which is worse. I agree it brings it's own set of problems. Perry

To be fair, I think everyone got ahead of themselves when it came to Dahntay. Is he still a good signing for the price? Absolutely, but there were a lot of people on the board who seemed genuinely convinced that Dahntay's offense would remain as effective as it was at the start of the year, but the truth is he was playing way above his head offensively the first month and a half of the season.
He's still a great value, and I'm glad he's around, but I just think this is the Jones we're gonna have for the most part which I'm happy with I just hope those that got really excited about him can readjust their expectations.
He plays a pretty good second fiddle, but it's hard for him when there's no first fiddle.
This space for rent.
I also think he was really frustrated with JOB and the losing.
Still, if he's able to give us 10-12 ppg, I'll take it.
all of you all have made valid points but to me one of the main reasons is danny's absence. when you have an offense threat like danny out there it opens things up for other players. it makes it easier thats why his presence is missed on the court. that player or player's on defense that have to honor danny on the floor don't have anyone to honor therefore they have a lil more freedom sag into the slash and cutting lanes making them a little bit more congested.
p.s. make a freethrow dahntay and ur ppg may come back up.... he's a slasher not a shooter and when you get 4 ft's a game(on average) well you have to make your ft's. if not you're pissing points away.
Last edited by sportfireman; 01-03-2010 at 04:52 PM.
Honestly, I think that's the main reaon why his scoring has dropped off. He's not a 1st option scorer, but I'd gladly take him as a 2nd or 3rd option due to his driving skills. Plus, he was on the court with TJ Ford who would just shoot instead passing the ball to anyone not named Granger.
At this moment, I'm not really worried about his offense. It'll come back once Granger is healthy again. D. Jones is just a better/stronger version of Marquis Daniels.
He was playing out of his mind early; there's no way he was going to keep up with his impressive numbers.
That aside, I think he definitely hit a slump that seemed to coincide with a really hard fall a few weeks back (landed on his shoulder and hip). It's possible he was more injured than he was letting on, but it was likely just a slump.
You guys need to take a good look at his stats in November versus December. His effort stats (e.g. steals, rebounds, blocks) all dropped dramatically and were consistently lower along with his FG% and overall effectiveness.
IOW, I think he's been demotivated based on the stats and his comments to the press. I would not say that if his effort stats had not across-the-board dropped after the period immediately following the infamous 5 game winning streak.
Good point, and I'd agree with you 100% if Dahntay's scoring had begun to drop off when Danny left. Instead, his scoring really fell when Dahntay hurt his hip. Maybe the combination of playing w/o Danny and the injury had more to do with his lack of offense, but I think it was a combination of the defense not having seen that part of Dahntay's game before plus the injury and absence of Danny on the court.
I really hope Dahntay is able to make the adjustments. We could use the Dahntay that was producing over the first 10-15 games of the season rather than the one who was slumping badly.
If he were anywhere as good as what everyone around here believed during the first two/ three weeks of the season, somebody would have offered him a long-term contract a long time ago.
He's an interesting player -- a good guy for an "eighth man" type of role (just as Denver used him even though he was technically in the starting lineup).
He's not and will never be a featured player. If he's one of your top three players, you've got a very bad team.
(I don't see him as one of this team's top-three players either. But it would be nice if Rush and Hibbert played as well as I think they can and either Dunleavy or Granger played healthy. He might be the team's fourth-best player, which still is not a good thing overall.)
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

The PGA Tour Continues to (Quietly) Struggle With the Economy
I'm telling you this right now. As a positive member of our society, one who enjoys more than the average bear at times, I'm going to be somber for a moment. I think the PGA Tour is struggling a lot more with the economic problems of our society than they give off.
Sure, that isn't exactly what you want from a corporation. "Yeah, we're struggling and we want you all to know." Nobody is going to really do that. I just think that as companies continue to struggle and lay people off, dropping a ton of cash to sponsor a golf tournament isn't what you're going for.
The US Bank has decided not to follow up the sponsorship with the Milwaukee PGA Tour event.
U.S. Bank will drop its sponsorship of Milwaukee's PGA tournament after this year instead of picking up a three-year option starting in 2010.
Bill Bertha, president of U.S. Bank's Wisconsin market, said officials of the Minneapolis-based bank were disappointed with poor ratings on the Golf Channel and sparse attendance at Brown Deer golf course after the tournament dates were changed in 2007. That change put the event opposite the British Open.
I would say something here like, "I'm sure someone will pick up the option in the coming months," but I really don't believe that. Who is going to drop a ton of coin on an event that's recent winners include Richard Johnson, Joe Ogilvie and Corey Pavin?

In the past I could see sticking with it, sure, but why should ANYONE bother now?
It's the same sort of situation those of us who are soccer fans face when MLS stupidly insists on scheduling matches during major internationals. No one who watches golf is going to be watching (or going to) anything other than the Open that weekend, so why bother having anything in the first place?
Okay, I do literally understand why there is an event - I imagine something like 80% of the PGA Tour proper doesn't actually play in the Open and they want/need a paycheck that week - but complaining that no one is WATCHING the Milwaukee event the weekend of the Open Championship is a bit like a hooker complaining about her lousy hours...

WASHINGTON (Apr. 17)
Israeli Premier Menachem Begin ended his four-day stay in Washington today with the now that the Jewish people will never allow Jerusalem to leave Israel's sovereignty and a warming to the nations of the free world not to sacrifice Israel's security because of oil shortages or other difficulties they may force at present.
In an emotional address to more than 1000 people Jammed into the 600-seat auditorium of the Shoreham Hotel, Begin repeated his positions on Jerusalem, Jewish settlements on the West Bank and Israel's unqualified opposition to "self-determination" for the Palestinian Arabs which, he said, "is a contradiction of the Camp David agreement. "He likened actions in support of self-determination to the appeasement of Nazi demands on Czechoslovakia in 1938.
Begin spoke at a combined meeting sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Israel Bond Organization and the United Jewish Appeal. He was greeted with deafening applause and applause punctuated his hour-long speech many times. The meeting was described by some observers as the greatest pro-Israel demonstration in Washington, probably since David Ben Gurion's first visit here 32 years ago as Prime Minister of Israel.
Begin decisively ruled out participation by the inhabitants of East Jerusalem in the vote for the autonomous authority on the West Bank. "Israel is — east, west, north and south — under one sovereignty, the sovereignty of Israel, "he declared. "Jerusalem is the heart of our people, our history, our culture, our dreams and prayers. So it will be for all generations to come, so help us God, "he said. He added that "without any qualification, the world should know, oil nations should know that this issue — Jerusalem — is D.C. — David's Capital."
Begin said that at Camp David "we promised autonomy but not a Palestinian state in all but name. "He recalled that in 1938, Germany demanded "self determination" for Germans in Czechoslovakia and "we know what took place." He said current calls for "self-determination" for Palestinian Arabs and the 1938 episode are "a dreadful analogy. We cannot play around with phrases." He said that at Camp David he was asked to give — "but we refused to give our signature to 'self-determination'."
He implied criticism of the Western nations for not standing together in face of Soviet aggression. He said that because of events in Afghanistan and in Iran, some nations perceive their need for oil and for the support of the Moslem world and make demands on Israel to "give in. "He said whatever their difficulties they must not make demands "at the expense of Israel. "He did not name any nation.
Begin said the Soviet Union supports the Palestine Liberation Organization and the PLO's "genocidal methods. "He said "The PLO charter is the second edition of Mein Kampf." He observed that "when liberty is endangered oil free men must unite. "He also said that he will recommend to the Israel Olympic Committee that Israel boycott the Olympic Games in Moscow this summer To go to Moscow, he said, would be "business as usual."
Shortly before the meeting opened, the White House issued a statement on Begin's talks with President Carter on autonomy which ended yesterday. It announced that Egypt, Israel and the U.S. have agreed to meet "for accelerated negotiations in both Israel and Egypt, beginning before the end of April in Herzliya. "The proposal had been made by Begin for meetings during the next 40 days, alternating between Herzliya and Alexandria, in an attempt to reach an agreement on autonomy by the May 26 target date.
In a related development, U.S. officials informed reporter today that a "continuing committee" would be organized by the parties to the autonomy talks to handle certain aspects of autonomy which remained outstanding after a general agreement was reached. Such a committee is mentioned in the Camp David accords to deal with refugee problems and other matters. Its composition and scope will be among the first items of business when the American, Israeli and Egyptian negotiators convene at Herzliya later this month.
American sources indicated that the committee would have extensive authority over major aspects of autonomy except water resources. It appeared that difficulties will ensue, however, over what issues the negotiators will agree to transfer to the committee. Israeli sources here said the committee would be allowed to handle only minor matters.
Begin told Israeli reporters earlier today that it would be erroneous to regard the agreement on the continuing committee as a breakthrough and that in any event it would not function before agreement is reached on autonomy.
He indicated that the committee, for example, might discuss finding new water resources rather than the division of existing water rights. He said Israel was agreeable to the U.S. proposal that some issues affecting the daily lives of Palestinian Arabs such as water rights, Jewish settlements and land title could be taken up after an overall agreement on autonomy is reached.

What to Download: New Music Today
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores. So I take a spin through each week's music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download.
Welcome back: After a six-year hiatus, Third Eye Blind returns to the music scene with a new album, Ursa Major. I was a huge fan of the band back in the "Semi-Charmed Life" days, and I've still got a soft spot for the group. This latest album has a familiar mix of slow ballads and upbeat tunes, so check it out if you're feeling nostalgic. My personal favorites are the catchy "Can You Take Me" and the sweet, low-key "Why Can't You Be" which features Kimya Dawson.
Oh, joy: A friend of mine caught a live performance of The Cave Singers about a year ago, and all of her gushing had me intrigued. This latest album, Welcome Joy, is light, uncomplicated, and easy to listen to — the kind of stuff I'd put on to unwind after a long day. So far I'm really digging "Bramble" and "Leap."
One more album to download if you
Girl power: If you're looking for something a little more radio-friendly, check out Kate Earl's self-titled album. She's got a very pretty, soft voice, and most of her tunes are about love. I'm already predicting that some of her songs will end up on my favorite shows. Right off the bat I'm into "Can't Treat Me That Way" because it's one of the sassier tracks on the record.

[August 15, 2013]
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 15 August 2013 Release date- 14082013 - MISSISSAUGA, ON - Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI) is pleased to announce the release of the 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STI.
Ultimately it's all about power and control, and the 2014 WRX STI continues as the ultimate-performance Subaru with its high-boost 305 horsepower turbocharged/intercooled SUBARU BOXER engine teamed with a 6-speed manual transmission and the exclusive Multi-Mode Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) version of Subaru's symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system.
New for the 2014 model year, the WRX STI adds a new edition to its lineup. Named for a traditional Japanese two-sided broadsword, the Tsurugi (pronounced TSUE-roo-ghee) edition gains its fitting moniker as the addition with enhancements to both the performance esthetics and styling of the WRX STI.
Launched exclusively for the Canadian market, this new addition is the sophisticated, executive edition of the WRX STI lineup. This new trim introduces 18-inch Enkei cast alloy wheels with a distinctive five-split-spoke design, multi-reflector halogen fog lights, Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights and mirror-integrated LED turn signals. While the rear spoiler has been removed, an exclusively designed front lip spoiler has been added, rectifying airflow passing below the front bumper to generate downforce and improve stability at high speeds. Inside, the Tsurugi edition gains a power sunroof and automatic climate control for greater comfort, auto-dimming mirror for enhanced safety, and SIRIUS XM Radio as well as a Kicker 10-inch subwoofer to enhance the sound system. For the first time ever in the WRX STI lineup, this special edition also introduces leather seating surfaces for the discerning driver.
Tsurugi edition models will be easily identifiable by unique badging, exclusive to this trim level Control and Confidence The WRX STI design is based on a 'wide and low' concept that gives the car an aggressive road presence with wide front and rear track dimensions, as well as pronounced front fenders and rear quarter panels. The design maintains a consistent flow from front to rear bumper, creating a distinctive identity.
On the WRX STI 4-door sedan model, wide fenders stretch wider than the tail lamps, and this accentuates a look of stability. A striking high profile rear spoiler was exclusively designed for the STI 4-door. The design contributes to an appropriately low drag coefficient, and the rear spoiler design means stable high-speed handling with zero lift. The WRX STI 4-door features its own version of the polished stainless steel quad-tailpipe exhaust.
The WRX STI delivers ultra-crisp handling along with everyday ride compliance. High-tensile strength steel is used at key structural points and the suspension-mounting areas. Inverted struts used for the front suspension provide high bending resistance for quicker and more consistent performance under hard cornering. Aluminum front lower L-arms reduce unsprung vehicle weight.
A specially tuned suspension uses pillow-ball bushings in front and stiff bushings for the rear subframe that supports the double-wishbone suspension - these improve camber and toe stiffness.
The 2014 WRX STI features Dunlop SP600 245/40R18 summer performance tires with 18-inch Enkei aluminum wheels in a charcoal finish on the entry model or a distinctive five-split-spoke design on the four-door Tsurugi edition, as well as a high-lustre finish on the five-door Sport-tech Package.
The WRX STI is equipped with advanced dynamic control systems, including Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) and a Multi-Mode Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system, which features a track performance-optimized mode. Hill Holder, featured on all Impreza models equipped with a manual transmission, can momentarily prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when being driven away from a stop on an incline.
SI-DRIVE Offers Ultimate Control Exclusive to the WRX STI models, Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) technology allows the driver to tailor the car's driving characteristics by choosing from among three selectable modes - Intelligent, Sport and Sport Sharp - using a rotary dial on the centre console. SI-DRIVE alters vehicle performance characteristics by regulating the Engine Control Module (ECM) and by fine-tuning the Electronic Throttle Control system. With Intelligent mode selected, SI-DRIVE improves fuel efficiency and provides a more relaxed throttle response curve, making it useful for commuting in traffic, for example.
Sport mode provides quick throttle responses and powerful, linear acceleration, making it ideal for everyday sporty driving. In Sport Sharp mode, SI-DRIVE modifies the engine's electronic throttle mapping to deliver super-quick throttle response to put down the power sooner.
Multi-Mode DCCD All-Wheel Drive with Three-mode Vehicle Dynamics Control The 2014 WRX STI is exclusively equipped with the Multi-Mode Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) version of Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive. The system employs planetary-type differential gears with a maximum 41:59 torque split. A mechanical limited-slip type centre differential augments an electronically controlled centre differential to enhance torque transfer performance. Sensor inputs that include steering angle, throttle position, RPM, lateral g, yaw, brake, ABS and wheel speed govern torque transfer response. A helical-type limited-slip front differential and a TORSEN torque-sensing limited-slip rear differential optimize side-to-side power distribution, helping to prevent the inside wheels from slipping during cornering.
The DCCD AWD system features three automatic modes. Auto mode provides the best all-around performance for most drivers and circumstances, varying the front/rear torque distribution automatically via the limited-slip differential (LSD) in response to vehicle acceleration, deceleration, steering angle, cornering force and wheel slippage. The Auto(-) mode makes less use of the centre limited-slip differential (less locking factor) and holds the torque bias to the rear more frequently, which yields more handling-oriented steering characteristics. For driving on slippery surfaces, such as gravel or snow, the Auto(+) setting tightens the LSD. In manual mode, DCCD offers six levels of centre differential locking, allowing the driver to vary the front-to-rear torque distribution (up to 50/50 maximum) to optimize AWD performance for varying driving conditions.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability and traction control system is standard on all Subaru models. It is important to note that, in Subaru vehicles, traction control plays a second line of defence against wheel slip after AWD torque distribution. In contrast, some All-Wheel Drive systems on the market lack the performance advantage of a locking centre differential and rely solely on traction control to redistribute torque away from slipping wheels.
Exclusive to the WRX STI, the Multi-Mode VDC system offers the driver three settings: VDC Normal, Traction, and Off. The Normal setting provides the highest level of system engagement, with traction control (TCS) and VDC. The Traction setting is more performance-oriented, employing less-restrictive VDC and disengaging the engine torque-reduction control. The Off setting disengages the VDC and the traction control functions.
Also exclusive to the WRX STI, the Brembo Performance Brake System uses ventilated 4-wheel disc brakes with Super Sport anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Front discs measure 326 mm (13.0 inches) in diameter and use 4-piston, fixed-position calipers; the 316 mm (12.6 inch) rear discs use 2-piston, fixed-position calipers. Taking input from a lateral g-sensor, a steering angle sensor, a yaw sensor and a brake pressure sensor, Super Sport ABS can control the braking forces at each rear wheel independently, which optimizes braking ability during hard cornering to help reduce understeer. In contrast, conventional ABS systems control the rear wheels as a pair, reducing the braking force to both rear wheels equally.
Sporty, Spacious and Versatile Interior The standard tilt and telescopic steering wheel is a three-spoke, leather-wrapped design embossed with the STI logo in its centre. WRX STI models are further equipped with standard aluminum alloy pedals, driver's footrest and leather-wrapped gear selector. The instrument panel's electroluminescent gauges use indicator needles that sweep the gauge faces upon engine start-up. Performance-design front seats integrate the backrest and head restraint into a single structure and are heated for added comfort in colder temperatures. An advanced AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA audio system with six speakers is standard. This system also includes a MediaHub for iPod/USB audio integration with Bluetooth streaming audio and a voice-activated Bluetooth system for mobile phone connectivity.
The compact layout of the double-wishbone rear suspension helps to minimize intrusion into the cargo area, providing a wide and deep luggage compartment. In the 5-door models, the wide and flat load floor can accommodate two tour-size golf bags with the rear seat backs in the upright position. In the 4-door sedan model, which is 165 mm (6.5 inches) longer than the 5-door, the extra space provides for a larger, deeper trunk that can accommodate three tour-size golf bags. A 60/40-split folding rear seat further boosts cargo capacity and convenience, and the 4-door also features a rear seat folding centre armrest.
For 2014, the 5-door WRX STI Sport-tech Package features a Pioneer AVIC connect in-dash touchscreen navigation system, smartphone integration, AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA Bluetooth streaming audio, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity with steering wheel-integrated controls and Pioneer TS-A1684R front speakers.
Subaru Safety Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) provides precise control of braking pressure between the front and rear wheels based on the vehicle load to improve stability and stopping distances. Brake Assist analyzes the force and stroke on the brake pedal and increases hydraulic boost to provide enhanced emergency braking, also activating the ABS system early if needed.
All Impreza models utilize the proven advanced Subaru ring-shaped reinforcement frame body structure with front and rear crumple zones. Front seat side airbags and side curtain airbags are standard on all Subaru models. The Subaru Advanced Frontal Airbag System (SRS) features a passenger side front seat sensor module that detects seat occupancy and passenger weight to control airbag deployment. As part of the system, the dashboard features an airbag indicator light. There are 3-point seatbelts for all seating positions, including front height-adjustable seatbelts with electrically triggered pre-tensioners and force limiters About Subaru Canada, Inc.

nVidia Optimus / Bumblebee not working; Unknown header type 7f
I had this working last month, but I just did a fresh install of Slackware64-14.0 so I had to reinstall it again. In that time, I see both the software and the Optimus wiki page for Slackware has been updated, and after following the instructions to the letter, it's not working.
I have a multilib enabled system, so I was very careful to use COMPAT32=yes on all the packages that were noted for it. Everything compiled and installed find, with no errors or anything. After starting bumblebeed and running optirun glxspheres, it always uses the Intel graphics instead.
I thought that perhaps something in the updated driver may not like the 3.2.29 kernel that comes with the default install, so I tried installing the 3.9.10 kernel from -current (keeping my old one of course), and rebuilt the bbswitch and nvidia-kernel packages, but after installing them it had no effect.
When I look at the output of lspci -v, directly below the nVidia line I see the following error:
!!! Unknown header type 7f
And if I try to modprobe nvidia, it says the module can't be found, although I see it listed under the modules folder.
So now I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help will be appreciated, as always.
Hmm.... lets start with the simple stuff... you have xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist installed correct?
The how-to and this readme should match up, but when in doubt... follow the README
I'll look back over the readme and how-to to see if somehow, something got missed tho.
That's correct, I installed it from the Slackware disc before beginning the procedure.
I looked through the README link you posted and from what I can tell it does indeed match up with what's on the wiki page. One thing I noticed was that not all of the packages were indicated to need 32 bit compatibility, and I only used the COMPAT32=yes option on the ones that were mentioned to have that option.
One other thing I thought I would mention was the problem I solved last month when I got this working the first time, in this thread. I had a segmentation fault issue when starting bumblebeed and we found it was required to use version 0.4.2 of libbsd rather than the 0.5.1 that came with the other files. I noticed this time that libbsd is now at version 0.6.0, which compiled and installed successfully, and I have not had that issue this time, so my thought was that this newer version had fixed whatever problem we had the last time.
When I run modprobe nvidia, I get this exact error:
ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
Hope that helps, and thanks for the reply!
Can you check /var/log/packages and be sure about the nouveau blacklist...
Going from here, and a fuzzy memory, that was what happens when its not blacklisted. I remember installing the blacklist, only to have slackpkg reinstall it because I forgot to blacklist the pkg.
No problem, I actually did that before replying just to be extra sure. When I run find /var/log/packages -name *nouveau* I get the following two results:
On my system, it replaced it. Just removepkg the xf86-video-nouveau package to be sure, you may need to remove it twice, and reinstall the blacklist one. I think, since you did installpkg instead of upgradepkg, you now have both packages when you should only have one.
If my memory is not totally shot, I did that, made sure the blacklist file was in /etc/modprobe, and it all started working after a reboot.
OK, I tried this out, removed both nouveau packages, and reinstalled the blacklist package from the disc, and confirmed it worked by checking the output of find /var/log/packages -name *nouveau* to make sure I only saw the blacklist package listed. I also see a file BLACKLIST-nouveau.conf under /etc/modprobe.d/, containing the line blacklist nouveau.
After a reboot, I still see the !!! Unknown header 7f in the lspci output, and I get the same error when trying to run modprobe nvidia, so it appears to have made no change.
Any other ideas?
Well, I've been trying to work this out on my own over the last couple of days, and I just had an update.
Since I had this working before the latest update to the Bumblebee-SlackBuilds repository, I decided to try to downgrade to the 319.32 nvidia driver to see if that changed anything. I built it from the files on SlackBuilds.org, removed the nvidia-bumblebee and nvidia-kernel packages for the 325 driver, and installed these older 319 packages, and after a reboot the nvidia module seems to be loading correctly from what I can tell, so it seems like there's something up with this latest nvidia driver.
So after that, I went into X to try optirun glxspheres again, and now instead of rendering on the Intel hardware, it fails with the following error:
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to assign any connected display devices to X screen 0
I suppose my next option is to start tinkering with these .conf files to see if I can make any progress, but I'll have to figure out which one does what first.
Just out of curiosity, if anyone has had success installing these latest updates and getting them working, I'd be interested to know. It seems like if there was a problem with the latest nvidia driver, it would have been caught when they were putting all the information together on the wiki, so I'm curious if I'm the only one having an issue with these new versions?
I had not updated to the lastest beta nvidia yet, so I reverted my github if you need it:
Can you post your /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia up just to be sure... everything I see is also dealing with that file.
I'm built and running currently with slackware64-current / multilib and using exactly what is in my github repo.
Well I worked on this all day today, and I found something I missed earlier but it seems to not have helped. There was a little note about having to rebuild mesa on Slackware 14.0 and earlier, so I followed the instructions in the README, but it didn't fix the problem.
So I'm currently back on the 325.08 driver, directly from the repo in the wiki, along with the rebuilt mesa-compat32 from the README. If I run optirun glxspheres, it only renders on the Intel hardware. I still cannot load the nvidia module because it says it's not found, even if I give the full path to it.
Here's my /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file, as requested.
Section "ServerLayout"
I'm pleased to report that I finally figured out how to get this working!
First of all, my idea about the cause of the problem was incorrect. I thought that the nvidia kernel module was not loading, because I did not see it in the output of lsmod, and I could not load it manually. What really confused me was the output of dmesg | grep NVIDIA, which showed the following:
[ 12.016502] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
While I was poking around in the logs this morning, it finally dawned on me to take a look at the output of dmesg | grep bbswitch, and I saw this:
[ 116.231746] bbswitch: version 0.7
I was still suspicious about the whole Mesa library, and while I had taken great care to make sure I did it correctly, I decided to take another look at it. I thought I should give this new primus a try, as I had been using optirun during my testing, just to see if I get different results. While optirun would just render on the Intel hardware, primusrun actually gave this interesting error:
failed to load PRIMUS_LOAD_GLOBAL
So, I rebuilt the 64-bit Mesa package as well, and after installing it...it works! This particular step is mentioned in the wiki, but doesn't go into detail about it, and the README on github didn't make it clear to a less experienced slacker that rebuilding both was mandatory. So, in order to help anyone that runs into this problem, here's a little more detail about this section of the installation.
How I Fixed The Problem
Take note that I'm running Slackware64 14.0 multilib, so if you're running something different you'll most likely have to modify these steps to your particular system. Be careful!
First, I needed some packages from the 32-bit version of Slackware, which can be downloaded from the website. Change into the mesa directory under Bumblebee-SlackBuilds, and issue the following commands:
wget mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-14.0/slackware/d/llvm-3.0-i486-2.txz
convertpkg-compat32 -i llvm-3.0-i486-2.txz
upgradepkg --install-new /var/log/packages/mesa-8.0.4-x86_64-1 % ./mesa-8.0.4-x86_64-2_bbsb.tgz
One thing that I noticed when upgrading the mesa-compat32 package, was that a single file was deleted called libEGL.so, so I now only have the 64-bit version of this file. I'm not sure if this could be a problem down the road, so if anyone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.
One last observation, was that the original error !!! Unknown header 7f still appears in the output of lspci, even though everything is working correctly. I'm not sure what this means exactly, but it doesn't appear to cause any problems.
Thank you WhiteWolf1776 for helping me out with this issue. I would guess I'm not the only one that has run into this little problem, so hopefully this will help others to get this working.
Happy you found it :) Sorry, I had assumed you had recompiled both mesa packages, not just the compat32 one... but that is what I get for assuming again.
14.1 will, thankfully, not require any mucking around with mesa, but I will update the how-to and add some of your points to the troubleshooting bit.
full steam ahead.
That's alright, I'm sure it would have been obvious to the veterans, but I'm still figuring all these bits and pieces out. It was a good training exercise, for sure!
Do you happen to know anything about the libEGL.so file that was deleted during the mesa-compat32 upgrade? I'm a little concerned that only having the 64-bit version of that file might break something later, but I couldn't find out much about it.
I'm sorry, not sure about that lib. So far I have played about every 3d game I have tho, without fail, steam apps, etc.
If you get a chance, please check:
and let me know if the primus instructions are clear. Sometimes I don't know what is clear to folks and what isn't ;)
I had a chance to look at your edits, and I do think it's more clear now.
I might recommend breaking the mesa-compat32 command off into its own block and placing it below the warning though, so it stands out more.
Thank you very much for updating that!

In McKenzie Arena, less than five minutes before tipoff of the Southern Conference basketball championship, there must be an auto accident downtown or a lot of people plan on showing up at halftime.
There are plenty of good seats still available for the game between the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the College of Charleston.
ESPN broadcasters Brad Nessler and Jimmy Dykes form one of the best duos on the network, but there's nothing like watching a championship game live and in person.
In 2005, when the Mocs beat UNC Greensboro for the championship, the attendance was 7,243. There's not quite that many empty seats as of 6:57 p.m.
Tournament and championship games are loaded with interesting stats. Here's a few floating around:
- Tonight's officials are Tony Greene, Jamie Luckie and Gary Maxwell, an experienced and respected crew. They've combined to officiate 66 NCAA tournament games since March of 1997.
Here's some game-specific stuff.
- This is UTC's 17th final appearance in 32 tournaments, and UTC is 9-7 in the previous 16. Five of those appearances have come this decade, and UTC is 1-4 in those title tilts.
Here's some individual information.
- Stephen McDowell loves McKenzie Arena. The senior guard is averaging 21 points and shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 49.7 percent from the arc and averaging 4.6 3s per game on his home floor.
And here's something for the UTC record book.
- Nicchaeus Doaks and Khalil Hartwell have combined for 526 rebounds this season. The senior starters passed the duo of Chris Mims and Johnny Taylor, who had 514 between them in the Sweet 16 run of 1996-97.

text: Urologists Study Fluorescent Dye, Blue Light to Detect Bladder Tumors Tuesday, January 11, 2005 Tweet One of the challenges urologic surgeons face when treating early bladder cancers is that they can't see tiny tumors during procedures to remove larger tumors. Missing the tiny tumors increases the chances that the cancer could recur, sometimes as early as three months after treatment. Urologists at the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center are joining an international clinical study of a new photosensitizer – a liquid dye inserted into the bladder -- to improve detection of small tumors that will likely grow after surgery. The photosensitizer, when placed in the bladder, makes cancer cells glow bright pink under a blue light. This makes it easier for surgeons to see and remove during cystoscopic procedures. A cystoscopy involves insertion of a thin, lighted instrument, a cystoscope, into the urethra and bladder for examination and tissue samples can be removed and examined. Hexvix, or hexyl aminolevulinate, is similar to a chemical found naturally in the body and contains porphyrins. Cancer cells absorb this substance faster than healthy cells, and they turn fluorescent pink when the cystoscope light changes from white to blue. "The change in color is dramatic and this lets us see tiny tumors or satellite tumors that we wouldn't have seen before with traditional white lighting during cystoscopy," says Edward M. Messing, M.D., urology chair, at the Wilmot Cancer Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center. The Wilmot Cancer Center is the only upstate New York site testing this new technique. The randomized Phase III study of hexvix, the new drug, will enroll 620 people in the United States, Canada and Europe, including about 30 in Rochester. Hexvix, developed by PhotoCure ASA of Norway, is used in European countries and this study may open its use to patients in the United States. PhotoCure is funding this study. The American Cancer Society estimates 60,240 new cases of bladder cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year. Bladder cancer is more common among men than women and more common among whites than blacks. When found and treated early, the chances for survival are very good. About 12,710 Americans will die of the disease. ## Media Contact Leslie White (585) 273-1119

I'm closely following National Geographic writer Andrew Evans' trip on Route 66. If you aren't following his Twitter account and his real-time posts from the Mother Road, you should. By my reckoning, he's fired off more than 200 tweets — most of them with photographs — and he hasn't even made to the midpoint of his journey.
During a recent post on his Digital Nomad blog while driving across Missouri, he met people who remembered all too well why Route 66 also was called "Bloody 66." One of his musings — that "Route 66 represents America's adolescence, a time of exploring and trying new things and forming our personalities" — shows why the magazine keeps him on its payroll.
But what struck me most was this observation:
It's an odd time on Route 66 — we live in a time when some folks are marking history with new signs, while others are still busy tearing down the originals. As I move across this bit of Missouri, I feel the push and pull of past versus present. The urge to memorialize the best of Route 66 conflicts with the need to live in the present.
A few Route 66 purists may complain about new elements mixing with the old. Even this website feels the tug of memorializing the road's past, while feeling a keen obligation to report on the many things that are happening on Route 66 now.
But this tension between past and present shows the old highway probably is as healthy as it's been since it was decommissioned during the 1980s. Yes, an occasional landmark is lost. But, in recent years, a great deal many were saved or revived. And new businesses — such as Fanning 66 Outpost in Missouri, Pops in Oklahoma and 66-to-Cali in California — have popped up.
When I started traveling Route 66 about 15 years ago, its future was much more clouded. Route 66 saw a resurgence with the publication of the best-selling "Route 66: The Mother Road" by Michael Wallis during the early 1990s, but few seemed certain whether the uptick was sustainable.
Ironically, one of the saviors of this antiquated road was the rise of the Internet. During the early days of the World Wide Web, a Google search of "Route 66" produced fewer than 500,000 pages. Now it's more than 75 million. The Net allowed people all over the globe to show and trade their photos, videos, stories, music and culture from the Main Street of America.
And I haven't even delved into the significant impact of the 2006 Disney-Pixar hit movie "Cars" and the popular "Billy Connolly's Route 66" miniseries on British television in 2011.
Route 66's enduring fascination brings to mind what Route 66 historian Jim Ross said a few years ago:
"I keep waiting for this whole craze to hit a plateau, level off and reach a point where people are sick of hearing the phrase 'Route 66.' But it's not happening. I now believe it's not going to happen. I believe people today look at Route 66 or regard Route 66 as they would a national park or national monument. It's become so ingrained in our lexicon. People (say) 'Someday I want to go to Yellowstone' or 'Someday I want to do Disney World." It's like that with Route 66 now. I think it's here to stay."
This notion that Route 66 will last — and how it will evolve in the 21st century it plods toward its centennial — are what motivates me each day to see what's happening. Challenges for the preservation of the highway and its landmarks will remain. But I've operated Route 66 News for almost nine years, and I feel as good about the Mother Road's future as I ever have.

Those crazy college kids. It seems like all they want to do is get drunk, have casual sex and laugh their asses off. Well, they'll learn soon enough that there's more to life than simply having a good time. Sure, living one's life in constant pursuit of hedonism may seem fun for a while, but there's really no joy that compares to the feeling of responsibility fulfilled, as you work your ass off to pay back those college loans.

Imax Fights Off Competition as Earnings Improve
A ragtag army – featuring Sandra Bullock, some hobbits and a band of Russian soldiers – helped IMAX Corp. battle its way to a strong fourth quarter. But the company will still need to fight a rearguard action against North America's biggest theater chains, which are mounting their own efforts in extra-big-screen viewing.
The premium moviegoing service posted its best-ever box office results in the final three months of 2013, thanks to hit films that included "Gravity," "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and "Stalingrad." Those first two titles were among the biggest stateside hits of the year. "Stalingrad," a Russian war drama, opens in the U.S. later this month, but it was a big hit in IMAX's growing European market. Overall, IMAX posted a global box office haul of $244 million.
The company reported a fourth-quarter net income of $27.8 million, or 40 cents a share, more than double the $12.8 million and 20 cents posted in the same quarter last year. Full-year net income for 2013 was $44.1 million, a slight uptick from 2012's $41.3 million.
More on this after the jump…

An Ode To Odysseus - Poem by hap rochelle
Returning home from Ilium
After that long and wearing war
Odysseus sailed toward Ithaca
Hoping to heal the scars.
Hungry, with hearts flagging
He found where the Cyclops fed
His men would eat Polyphemus' sheep
But many were a meal instead.
Heroically saving his men
Odysseus sailed away
Trapped by the daughter of Helios
Drawn to virtues she would display.
Told that he shouldn't
By Circe his former host
He listened to the Sirens
Almost wrecked upon their coast.
Home at last in Ithaca
After ten years on the sea
First he must dispatch the men
Who coveted his Penelope.
Disguised as a dirty beggar
To learn what must be done
He told his son Telemachus
How to take action certain.
With aid from his goddess Athena
After all the princes had failed
Godlike Odysseus strung his bow
And with an arrow each impaled.
Now his queen and son rejoice
Their king whom they adore
Will live a quiet, fruitful life
On Ithaca's idyllic shore.

Media has tarnished my image - N Srinivasan
BCCI chief N Srinivasan has hit out against the media and stated that they ruined his image ever since the IPL spot-fixing issue was uncovered. Srinivasan has labeled himself as a "very honest" man, who was "unfairly attacked", a claim that may come to haunt him later.
The newly re-elected BCCI president has stated that the media made him a scapegoat.
"I am honest, very honest. And, I think my character has been seen in the last few months," Srinivasan was quoted as saying in an interview with ESPNcricinfo.
The 68-year-old found himself in the middle of the storm after his son-in law Gurunath Meiyappan, who owns a stake in IPL team Chennai Superkings, was found guilty of betting on games by the Mumbai police. Meyappan also earned himself a place on the chargesheet filed by the Mumbai police.
When asked how he felt when the Supreme Court gave him permission to continue his role as head of the board, Srinivasan said: "I was pleased. People who have known me for a long time will believe what I say. In the sense that I am a person who has always focused on what to do next."
"I don't carry any grudges, I don't have any such feelings at all. That's how I am. People who have known me for years will attest to it. I will just move on. This happened, okay, fine, I dealt with it, I am glad, I am back, I go on," he added.
Srinivasan confessed that he remained unfazed by the general public's opinion of him.
"See, I can't do anything about that (public opinion). It doesn't affect me. It doesn't affect me because when I am not in the BCCI I will not merit one line in any newspaper, so why must I worry about the 20 lines now?" he asked.
The India Cements managing director stated that he did not poke his nose in the investigation ordered by the BCCI, which was deemed as illegal by the High court, to find out the truth about the biggest scandal Indian cricket has witnessed in recent times.
In spite of being blamed for the downfall, Srinivasan said that he did not lose any sleep and invested time in playing golf.
"Since I had stepped aside from cricket, I was able to play golf. Administering the BCCI and running my own business takes a lot of time. So my spare time got eaten into. So the truth is, during this period I could afford to try to get my swing back again," he said.
"I won't call it tough or difficult. I felt I had been unfairly attacked. It was a continuous attack on me. As I said somewhere, one particular paper had about 90 pieces written about me, 11-12 editorials, and I was occupying the entire front page for 10-11 days. This has never happened in independent India. Am I worth that much of coverage? I am not that big a businessman. BCCI is not that big," he added.
"I had not done anything wrong, and then I stepped aside. And then the BCCI working committee, at a meeting which I did not attend because I had stepped aside, appointed this probe commission. Somehow it got represented as if I (appointed it). I did not…So how am I to be blamed for that?" he asked.
Srinivasan stated that he had no hard feelings towards the individuals who turned against him during the trying period.
"I am not an autocrat. I don't want to get into debates. I have a job to do, and I will do my job. I realise this is not a permanent job. This is not my bread and butter, it's an honorary job," he said.
The BCCI chief was asked why the tour of South Africa was taking so long to be confirmed.
"One of the reasons was we felt that we should be (playing) more international cricket in India during our season, and there should be a balance between inbound and outbound tours. And we felt that this year we had very little international cricket (in India), and therefore we needed to supplement it, so we invited the West Indies. This was the thought process," he explained.
"If you look at our calendar, we'll be hosting Australia, then the West Indies, then we are supposed to go to South Africa, then New Zealand, come back and play Asia Cup, play the World Twenty20, come for IPL, go to England. It was a very long, tough programme, so we also wanted to lessen the strain if possible", Srinivasan said.
"Unfortunately there was a lot of media speculation on whether the tour is on etc, and on news emanating from South Africa. We did not make any comment. We did not say anything about this. In fact, until now we have said nothing," he said.
Srinivasan was asked if he had a hand in Haroon Lorgat being appointed as CEO of Cricket South Africa, he replied: "We are not anyone to say who should or should not be the chief executive of another board. But there are some challenges."
"Maybe after discussions I might talk about it. I should not prejudice the discussions by talking about it now. So talk to me in a few days' time. I don't want to discuss it now," he added.
