Rapid7 found that 17 percent of respondents have not, or are not sure if they have, updated endpoint systems with the latest operation system patches. A variety of automated patch and configuration management tools are available to help system administrators test operating system patches and deploy them to end-user machines.
System configuration issues also open up the attack surface to cybercriminals, giving them easy access to pivot to more sophisticated systems. Data breach studies found that attackers consistently target poorly configured systems, including remote access technologies and systems using weak or default passwords. Configuration management tools can also help identify high-risk areas and system components that are turned on but rarely, if ever, used by employees, say security experts.

Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack sounds like a Japanese game involving giant robots and, well, that's not terribly far off from the truth. Only it's not a video game, it's a tabletop game. And instead of using plastic pieces, it uses LEGO.
The thinking behind the game is that, while coming with an established ruleset and canon, by using LEGO parts players will be able to design their own combat units instead of relying on the talents of the in-house staff.
When completed, it's hoped Mobile Frame Zero will ship with "play instructions, building instructions, even instructions for how to make your own setting."
You can read more about the project, including its story, below.

Mechanical testing tissue microstructure is becoming an increasingly active area of research, especially in oncology. It has been shown that changes in this microenvironment are key in cancerous growth, namely an increased tissue stiffness. External mechanical forces can directly influence cell signaling regulating and influencing growth. Investigating the mechanical properties of the microenvironment is, therefore, key to creating a biomechanical model of tumor growth.
Tumour cell samples are available in collagen scaffolds which are 150μm thick. Mechanical testing of such thin samples is a difficult problem. High sampling micro-indentation using the ElectroPuls™ E3000 was able to extract mechanical properties of these very small samples.
Indentation testing is becoming an increasing field for mechanical characterization of thin film tissues due to its ability to view response over a range of forces, shows a bulk modulus value and localized testing can be obtained.
Testing the Thin Films
The Instron ElectroPuls E3000 was fitted with a 5N load cell. 150μm thick collagen gels were placed into a fluid-filled petri dish container. Initially, a simple waveform was created with a 0.05μms-1 indentation rate.
Since it was difficult to accurately place the indenter a few μm above the surface of the gel it meant that tests ran for a very long time. A more complex waveform was created that would indent the gel up to 0.5N then raise the indenter 150μm to just above the gel surface. This reduced the indentation times by a factor of 4 while still maintaining 0.05μm indentation rates.
This ultra-slow indentation allowed for precise mapping of the force-indentation profile of the thin gel from which stiffness can be estimated.
The results were processed using a low pass filter to further reduce noise as well as a downsample filter to reduce the file size. An algorithm was used that uses linear modeling analysis to find the start point of the test as well as the point where the plastic beneath became heavily involved
From the load – depth profile the modulus of the collagen gels was taken using the modeling formula:
Where F is the load applied, E is the elastic modulus, R is the radius of the indenter, δ is the indentation depth and ν is Poisson's ratio of the material.

Yesterday I read about the new #BrandNCProject that the Department of Commerce had launched with UNC's business school. News of the effort immediately drew mockery from some those who don't like the direction the state is going in in comments sections of news articles and on Twitter.
The survey asks us what words best describe our enduring core values we hold as North Carolinians. The examples include kindness, diversity, loyalty, friendliness, compassion and courage.
"Enduring core values are basic fundamental principles that guide our individual behavior and both determine and reflect how we think and act toward others," the survey's instructions state.
I earnestly tried to answer this survey as a North Carolinian who cares deeply about my state's future and wants its brand stand out, and as someone who wanted to possibly shape this project's development.
I tried, but I couldn't. That's because I believe holding values and practicing values are two different things. Building, sustaining and practicing "enduring core values" is hard work that is never completed. It takes investment and examination.
Living a principled life is a journey, maybe even a battle. It's about the sum of our actions.
So maybe we should step back and reflect on some different questions: How are we as North Carolinians living up to our values? Are we on the right path to being the friendly, diverse, compassionate, fair, creative place we aspire to be? If not, how do we get there?
However important a brand might be –and I don't dispute it is— it just feels like our leaders are again putting appearances first. And that is not an enduring core value I want for my state.

Island getaways are the stuff of daydreams and of screensavers, but they're not all built the same. No one said they have to feature white sands, tiny umbrellas and flirty barmen named Ketut. Maybe a Galapagos marine expedition, Icelandic waterfalls or the boab forests of Madagascar are more your speed. So if you're looking for an isle with a little style, it's time to think outside the box.
Lombok is the quiet neighbour living next to a party house (i.e. Bali). Cross the narrow Lombok Strait and you'll find yourself in a land of tobacco plantations and rice fields, where dense inland forests give way to white sands and some epic surf breaks. If you can drag yourself away from the coast, make sure you check out the enormous Gunung Rinjani, Indonesia's second-biggest volcano. Read more about Lombom

Galapagos Islands
There's a reason the animals of the Galapagos have evolved in isolation for a couple of millennia: they didn't want to leave. The islands may be more volcanic than lush, the beaches a little rockier than the Caribbean, but the wildlife spotting in the world's most famous marine reserve is second to none. Sea lions, manta rays, sea turtles, bird colonies, sharks, migrating humpback whales. Read more about Galapagos Islands

Dig beneath the peeling pastel paint of Cuba and you'll find a heart of gold. Sure there are the picture postcard icons – cigars, rum, salsa, Cadillacs – but there are also acres of tranquil farmland, underground cave discos in Trinidad and the gorgeous Canarreos Archipelago: 350 mostly uninhabited islets just crying out for a sailing adventure. And with the recent changes to travel laws for US citizens, the Caribbean's faded jewel is about to change forever. This could be your last chance to see Cuba before the crowds.

Iceland is renowned for doing things differently. For starters, every Icelander is related in some way (they keep track in an app called the Book of Icelanders) and they don't go in for family names. The island also gets 100% of its power from renewable sources courtesy of the geothermal forces bubbling beneath the island's surface. But the country's real power comes from the landscapes: immense beaches of black volcanic sand, surging waterfalls, steaming hot springs and lava fields bigger than Manhattan.

Easter Island
Rapa Nui (that's Easter Island to you and me) is a little speck of land way, way off the coast of South America. Separated from mainland Chile by 3,700 kilometres of open water, it's a world apart in more ways than one. Of course the main drawcards are the 887 extant moai statues (not to mention a unique blend of Spanish and Polynesian culture), but travellers are also drawn to the world-class diving and snorkelling just off shore. If you like your island paradises with a dash of mystery, this is where you come. Read more about Easter Island

Take a slice of Africa and fill it with animals, then cast it adrift into the Indian Ocean. Leave it to simmer for a few million years, than add the culture of a dozen different migrant populations. Surround it with 5,000 kilometres of spectacular coastline, 450 kilometres of barrier reef and some underwater shipwrecks, then add a few moonlit boab forests and a migrating humpback whale or two. That's the recipe for Madagascar. A lot of places claim to be unique, but this island really lives up to the label. Read more about Madagascar

Greek Islands
It's odd that Greek mythology is so violent and chaotic. You'd think with a world-class sunset every night, a few olive groves and an ocean of fresh seafood on your doorstep, the gods would have been a bit more laidback. Welcome to the Greek Islands, the Med's most famous archipelago. This place ticks all the boxes: sun-bleached buildings, golden beaches, unnaturally blue waters, cliff-top views and enough ancient ruins to keep you busy for weeks. Want to learn more?

New Zealand
The land of the long white cloud exploded onto the world's radar with a little film franchise known as Lord of the Rings. It was a natural fit for a ridiculously cinematic fantasy world. But the thing is, the fantasy does exist. We'll take you from tip to tip through geothermal springs in Rotorua, inky black fjords in Doubtful Sound and snow-clad mountain ranges straight from the silver screen. And considering you're sharing these delights with only four million locals, there's plenty of paradise to go round.

Woman faces charges for spraying bear repellent
MILFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Milford police say they plan to arrest a woman accused of spraying an entire can of bear repellent inside a local motel and making about 28 people sick.
Authorities say the woman was taken to a hospital to be treated for intoxication after Wednesday night's incident inside the Howard Johnson Motor Lodge off Route 1. Police say she will face charges that may include reckless endangerment and breach of peace.
The woman's name hasn't been released.
Police say the woman appeared angry and intoxicated when she emptied a large can of extra-strength pepper spray that's designed to repel bears from up to 25 feet away.
More than two dozen people got sick including some firefighters and police officers, but none required hospital treatment.

When: March 13 2013
What: Blues at the Crossroads 2 Muddy and the Wolf, Tribute to Muddy Waters & Howlin' Wolf
Where: Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall
Blues, blues, blues... I wonder why this music genre it's somehow attached to a universal color that represents our skies and oceans. But, what really matters is the powerful connection that this kind of music brings to our lifestyles in collaboration with all the genres that easily invites blues to their fields. I used to believe that blues was the type of music only certain people liked. But I was wrong! This fantastic show was definitely full of blues lovers from all ages.
Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall was the perfect venue for this evening. With beige portuguese limestone and serpentine glass façade. Multi- tiered lobby with beige spanish granite and carpeting, silver leaf ceiling featuring lighting design titled Constellation by Francesca Bettridge which includes Swarovski crystal LED lighting and 300 stainless steel pendants tipped with Baccarat crystal globes. Fixed and loose seats upholstered in scarlet red velvet, individual boxes, three silver leaf acoustical canopies, Canadian maple veneers. I mean, the perfect place for blues!
This incredible venue offers the public an amazing view from all angles. The architecture of this venue only makes you see all the possible things we are capable of making when there's a dream attached to a vision involving others. The spotlights, the sound system, the space, the seating facilities and design were only complementing the band members with the right atmosphere to clearly have a great time. I understand that the person in charge of bringing the blues to this venue, was also bringing this genre to a higher level for everyone, not only the blues lovers, to see this music as an universal sound with class.
Kim Wilson, the band conductor and singer, brought the best sounds of his multiple harmonicas. He started with the blues in the late 1960s and was tutored by people like Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Eddie Taylor, Albert Collins, George "Harmonica" Smith, Luther Tucker and Pee Wee Crayton.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds, anchored this musical tribute with greats as James Cotton, Jodi Williams, Bob Margolin, and Tinsley Elli. For over 30 years, The Fabulous Thunderbirds have been the quintessential American band. The group's distinctive and powerful sound, influenced by a diversity of musical styles, manifested itself into a unique musical hybrid via such barnburners as "Tuff Enuff" and "Wrap It Up". Co-founderKim Wilson, the sole original member, still evolving into its newest blues incarnation along with the band members.
Kim Wilson – Lead Vocal & Harmonica, Randy Bermudes – Bass Guitar,
Mike Keller – Guitar, Jason Moeller – Drums, Johnny Moeller – Guitar
James Cotton also brought his authentic thick boogie man voice to manipulate the great stage full of talented musicians. He also brought his personality to share with the public the importance of clapping and shaking the body when feeling the blues. 'When you feel like dancing or clapping, makes us feel better, so please do so." He was a bouncing, sweaty, whirling dervish of a bluesman, roaring his vocals and all but sucking the reeds right out of his defenseless little harmonicas with his prodigious lung power. Due to throat problems, Cotton's vocals are no longer what they used to be, but he remains a masterful instrumentalist.
Bob Margolin was so fascinating and humorous with his body language, bringing the house down with his authentic guitar style. Margolin is a blues guitar player and singer, carrying on the "old school" Chicago Blues style and creating original music today. From 1973-1980, he played guitar in the band of Chicago Blues legendMuddy Waters, touring worldwide and recording, and learning to play Muddy's powerful music directly from him. In 1980, he started his own band and still on the road and recording. His voice put a lot of character to his songs.
Tinsley Ellis came all the way from Atlanta to share the stage with fellow friends, singing great tunes with his electric vintage guitar and also his voice brought character to this wonderful stage. Hard-rocking blues-soaked guitarist/vocalist/song-writer Tinsley sings and plays with the energy and soul of all the great southern musicians who have come before him. He attacks his music with rock power and blues feeling, following in the tradition of Deep South musical heroes Duane Allman, Freddie King, Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. His live shows feature extended fretwork filled with melodic and rhythmic experimentation, in the spirit of jam bands like his friends Widespread Panic and The Allman Brothers. Atlanta Magazine declared Ellis "the most significant blues artist to emerge from Atlanta since Blind Willie McTell."
Jody Williams, slowly entering with his guitar talents on stage was one great high light of the evening. He sat and simply played perfect notes to decorate songs with his delicate touch. Jody is an American blues guitarist and singer. His singular guitar playing, marked by flamboyant string bending, random chord changes and a distinctive tone, was influential in the Chicago Blues scene of the 1950s.
Blues at the Crossroads returns to celebrate the two blues legends, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. Both musicians vie for the honor of the "father of modern Chicago Blues" and both are considered the key bluesmen inspiring Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, John Mayall, Eric Clapton and others who brought about the 1960's British blues explosion. Though friends, Muddy & The Wolf were rivals for the top slot, and this spurred on both to outdo the other and create classics of the genre, including "Spoonful," "Mannish Boy," "Rolling Stone," and "Smokestack Lightning."
On my way back home, I was smiling knowing that our world could be so much better if we all get to experience this kind of evenings, where music, architecture, and culture are all involved to make us think about how great life really is when living through our passions.
This was a remarkable night for the blues and it's heroes.

The Symposium and NathFest
The 10th international symposium on Particles, Strings and Cosmology was held at Northeastern University, Boston, August 16-22, 2004. PASCOS is an interdisciplinary symposium on the interface of particle physics, string theory and cosmology. It originated at Northeastern University in 1990 and since then it has been held at several other leading institutions, i.e., at Berkeley, Syracuse, the Johns Hopkins, UC Davis, Chapel Hill, and most recently at TIFR (Mumbai). The symposium brings together leading experts in the three disciplines to discuss their interconnections, assess the current progress and the possible future directions. There is a strong experimental component in the scientific program with a number of experimental talks in the area of particle physics and of cosmology.
This year the symposium included a special program (the Pran Nath Fest) honoring Matthews Distinguished University Professor Pran Nath on his 65th birthday for his pioneering contributions over four decades in the fields of high energy theory, supersymmetry, supergravity, and unification. This program took placeWednesday and Thursday (18 and 19 August). The conference banquet was held on Wednesday evening.
Participation of graduate students, post docs and junior faculty was strongly encouraged.
Jonathan Bagger (Johns Hopkins)
In addition to the invited talks there were a number of contributed talks for which abstracts were submitted via email at email@example.com or through the registration web page. All the details of the conference related to accommodations, registration, etc. can be found on the conference web page and will be updated periodically. The conference web page is accessible at both http://www.pascos04.neu.edu and http://www.nathfest.neu.edu.
A map of the university is available at www.campusmap.neu.edu.
The symposium funds are very limited. Part of these have been used to keep the registration fee at an affordable level. Thus the participants are expected to pay the registration fees, travel and housing using their own grant monies.
LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: George Alverson, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Emanuela Barberis, Darien Wood, Haim Goldberg, Tarek Ibrahim, Tom Paul, Stephen Reucroft, Yogi Srivastava, John Swain, Tomasz Taylor, Michael T. Vaughn (Chair).

On 6th June 2009 at Trent Bridge Bangladesh will hope to repeat heroics of their opening 2007 World Cup game where they surprised everyone and comprehensively defeated a much-fancied India side. The form book indicates that Bangladesh has the potential to cause some major stir in the Twenty20 world cup. Abu Choudhury previews Bangladesh ahead of World Twenty20
Preview: Bangladesh in World Twenty20
by Abu Choudhury
Published: 2nd June, 2009
Cricket's latest (and arguably most popular) incarnation is a strange beast. Since Twenty20 cricket was endorsed by the ICC in 2005, international teams have played very few matches in an official capacity. Curiously, it is Australia and New Zealand that are the most experienced sides, each having played 21 matches. Bangladesh in comparison has played a paltry ten; losing seven and winning just three.
Bangladesh are pitted against India and Ireland in the group stages and neither side will be easy to beat. Ireland are an experienced team who will be better used to early summer English conditions. India were initially unenthusiastic about embracing Twenty20 cricket but are now as fluent in that form of cricket as any other. On 6th June 2009 at Trent Bridge Bangladesh will hope to repeat history of their opening 2007 World Cup game where they surprised everyone and comprehensively defeated a much-fancied India side. However, the form book indicates that India will be hard to beat.
Bangladesh's chief selector Rafiqul Alam has said he has high hopes for the national side, particularly as they progressed to the Super Eights the last time the competition was held. This is perhaps a tad optimistic, Bangladesh's performances even in cricket's most abbreviated format has been lacklustre. Of Bangladesh's meagre three wins, only one was against a reasonably ranked side (the West Indies in 2007). It will take a significant effort on the part of Ashraful's men to make an impact in this year's competition.
The 15-man squad looks reasonable enough. Ashraful and his vice-captain Mashrafe Mortaza are the most experienced players in the side and could arrive in England with a bit of form under their belts, depending on how they fare in the IPL. So far both men have played only game one game each; Mortaza for the beleaguered Kolkata Knight Riders and Ashraful for the Mumbai Indians. They are joined in the squad by familiar names such as hard-hitting opener Tamim Iqbal, cherub-faced wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim and the world's number one-ranked one day all-rounder Shakib Al-Hasan. Missing in action, however, are Bangladesh's ICL "rebelsâ€. Aftab Ahmed's audacious hitting seemed tailor-made for Twenty20 cricket and he played a major role in Bangladesh's victory against the West Indies in 2007. Alok Kapali by contrast seemed less than comfortable when he represented Bangladesh in the last World Twenty20 but has since been on fine form for the Dhaka Warriors, scoring the first and only century in last year's ICL. Despite the Bangladesh Cricket Board's talk of an amnesty for such players, neither man will be involved in this year's event.
There are two rookies in the squad, both of whom have graduated from the Under-19 side. Shamsur Rahman is a right-handed batsman from Comilla who has been filling his boots in domestic cricket for the last two years. He may yet get a chance to prove his worth in Bangladesh's fragile middle order. Mohammad Mithun Ali is a wicket-keeper with significant batting prowess. He set tongues wagging with his coruscating stroke play in the Dhaka Premier League and the unassuming 19-year old's penchant for hitting sixes has now elevated him to the big stage.
Bangladesh's bowling looks if not impressive then at least workmanlike. Mortaza as ever will shoulder the responsibility of the new ball and the choice of his new-ball partner will be interesting. The tall, brisk, but inconsistent pacer Shahadat Hossain is a surprise inclusion given his tendency to be expensive. Left arm medium bowler Syed Rasel returns after a long injury lay-off. He has tasted success before on English shores having first broken into the Bangladesh side following a successful 'A' tour here when he decimated Sussex in a four-day game. Rubel Hossain bowls with a Malinga-esque slinging action and made an impressive ODI debut earlier this year taking 4-33 against Sri Lanka. He will be keen to develop his game on England's helpful greentops.
The spin attack will be led by Shakib ably assisted by Razzak. The management will want to handle Razzak with care as he has played precious little competitive cricket since remodelling his action. Naeem Islam is primarily a batsman but has proved an effective ODI bowler. Twenty20 cricket favours versatile cricketers and so he and captain Ashraful may also be required to turn their arms over.
As in test and ODI cricket, it is Bangladesh's batting that is likely to be their undoing. The statistics make for alarming reading; Bangladesh have a top score of just 166 in Twenty20 cricket and the team have managed to bat out their full overs in only two of the ten matches they have played so far. Mohammad Ashraful has the ability to win matches single-handedly, but more often he is reckless and indiscreet. In the absence of Alok and Aftab, opener Tamim Iqbal may have the game most suited to the frenetic pace of Twenty20. It is likely that he, together with Bangladesh's most successful player in 2008 Shakib Al Hasan and possibly his namesake, the redoubtable Rokibul Hasan, will be Bangladesh's most reliable batsmen.
Bangladesh have a history of underperforming when the spotlight is on them and often when it is not. Those who question Ashraful's suitability for the captaincy have not yet been silenced and the pressure remains on the skipper to perform. Chief selector Rafiqul Alam indicated as much recently when he publicly proclaimed that Mortaza and Rahim were being considered as potential successors.
Twenty20 cricket is more capricious than its older siblings and despite the challenges they face, Bangladesh will be disappointed not to get a few wins under their belts. Preparation will be the key. In the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies, Bangladesh acclimatised well and began by winning warm up matches. They must do the same in England this year. Unless they string some wins together they may well be heading back to sample Bangladesh's summer fruits sooner than they would like.
Bangladesh squad: Mohammad Ashraful (capt), Mashrafe Mortaza, Tamim Iqbal, Junaid Siddique, Raqibul Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Naeem Islam, Abdur Razzak, Shahadat Hossain, Syed Rasel, Mohammad Mahmudullah, Rubel Hossain, Shamsur Rahman, Mohammad Mithun.

Sean Parker, former president of Facebook, expressed dissatisfaction with the billionaire lifestyle, saying in a tweet, "I have a whole new set of problems to deal with now: security, extortion attempts, kidnapping threats, death threats, etc. Life better b4?"
Parker, whose other ventures include Napster and Spotify, seems to feel uncomfortable with the "1 percent" title that the Occupy movement has pinned on him. After using the Occupy Wall Street hash tag, the tech mogul seemed shocked that he would be heckled for being in the smaller, richer percentile. "You guys are really attacking me for being the 1%? I was broke and couch surfing just a few years ago," Parker said.
The young tycoon said in a separate tweet that when it came to his money he was "Working on a plan to give it all away over time". Parker started to make good on that by donating $100,000 to an independent expenditure committee on behalf of San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.
In the same day these tweets were made Parker was also paying to promote his Twitter account. "Not for me, for my companies, need to ramp up the volume for some upcoming product launches, stay tuned," Parker said.

2009 NMCA LX Shootout - Heavy-Metal Shootout
Mopar's Latest Offerings Tear Up The Track At Maplegrove
If you were to poll any sized group of people about Mopar's LX platform cars, you could just about guarantee a 50/50 split of love it/hate it. Some complain that the cars are too heavy or have too many doors, and yet others simply love them. Well, one weekend in June, the NMCA decided to get as many of these late model, Hemi cars together as they could, and let them go at it. When the guys at www.lxforums.com found out about the shootout, it was easy to find enough people to make the LX Shootout an event in itself.
There were cars that showed up that get driven every day and came to have fun, and others that get driven every day and run some unbelievable quarter-mile times.
Since there were so many LX platform cars to choose from when we got to the event, we had to narrow it down to just a few. We chose a diverse group of cars that represent a myriad of capabilities these cars possess, and if you see one of these "so-called" heavy-metal monsters pull up beside you at a red light, you may want to think twice about a challenge.
Rick Ellison
Fayetteville, NC
'02 Black Challenger
Time: 12.89/110
Rick, who spends his daytime working with Uncle Sam, brought his 6.1-powered, automatic shifted Challenger out to play. Even though the car had less than 1,000 miles on it, he made sure to run it as best-and hard-as he could. The list of modifications on Rick's car, starts with Arrington CNC ported heads, and a camshaft with lifts of .586/.593 and duration numbers at .050 of .225/.228. To further help it breathe, a 90mm throttle body, ported intake, and Kook's headers were added. Although his qualifying rounds looked promising, a foul start in the first round kept him from continuing on.
Dan Vanhorn
Wantagh, NY
'06 Charger
Time: 10.60/125
Driving to the event to race, Dan really impressed a lot of people with his Charger. Being one of the more modified vehicles, he entered in the Head's Up class. To get his car to run the number, Dan relies on parts like a stroked 6.1, displacing 426 inches, Getting to that displacement is done with K1 4.080-inch crankshaft and 6.125-inch rods with Wiseco pistons mounted to them, altogether, the compression ratio comes in at around 11.0:1. The camshaft is a proprietary grind by Power Ported Performance, so no specs are available. The heads were CNC ported by PPP, and feature 2.10 and 1.60-inch valves. Finishing the engine is a 90 mm throttle body, Kooks headers, and a shot of nitrous. If you're going to make power, you need heavy-duty parts, and that's really evident at the rear. Dan uses Axles made by the Driveshaft Shop that are rated to withstand 1,000 horsepower.
Dave Coults
Nashua, NH
'06 Magnum SRT8
Time: 12.44/112.66
Dave's Maggie may have over 93,000 miles on it, but it's far from being tired. The Hemi was opened up to 372 inches by virtue of an overbore during a rebuild. While he was rebuilding, he added a Frank Racing camshaft with .556/.547-inches of lift, and .218/.212 degrees of duration at .050 inch. He also had the heads ported by Franks Racing. Other than the Kook's headers, that's about all there is to this impressive ride's engine. The transmission is stock, but features a Pro Torque 2,800 converter. Dave's combination helped him get through three rounds of competition before having to bow out after the Semi final round.
Chris Janczy
Hazlet, NJ
'08 Torred Charger
Time: 12.18/115.89
Chris Janczy has owned his Charger since it was new, and from the beginning, the mods began. He started with an exhaust upgrade, and has done some serious work to it since then in order to run the reliable times it does. He started with a stock rotating assembly, and added a Frank Racing cam with .568/.570-inch lift and .215/.219-degrees of duration at .050. The heads are ported by Franks Racing, and have JBA Shorty headers attached to them. We know that the time Chris' car runs doesn't sound possible with limited mods, but the addition of a ZEX nitrous kit helps get it there. The stock transmission features a 3,000 stall converter by Edge, and like some of our other participants, Chris also uses aftermarket axles by the Driveshaft Shop.
Chris Dufresne
Waldorf, MD
'06 Magnum
Time: 10.22/137.62
Although Chris only hit the low 10's during the shootout, he tells us he has run a best of 9.85 at139 m.p.h. To run like that, Chris opened the engine to 392 inches using a 4.055 inch bore, a 3.79 inch stroke Scat crankshaft, and 6.20 inch Eagle rods. The pistons are Ross units that squeeze to a 9.0:1 compression. The camshaft is an HHP/BES special grind with .547/.570 inch lift and .224/.230 degrees duration at .050 inch. The heads and intake are stock, but have been ported and polished by Franks Racing. If you're going to make power, a supercharger will definitely do it, and Novi 1500, and homemade Nitrous set up definitely do. Finally, the exhaust exits though Kook's headers. Behind that, is a transmission built by Southern Hotrod of Kenner, Louisiana, and it features a 2,800 r.p.m. Pro Torque converter. Out back, Chris uses DSS 1,000 horsepower rated axles and a 3.08 gear set.
David Johnson
Bristol, CT
'05 Magnum
Time: 13.50/102.9
Having the most stock combination in our group, David had no problem mixing it up with the other competitors. Other than the addition of a homemade cold air kit, a Frank Racing camshaft, SRT 6.1 headers, and a Predator tune, David's car is just as good as it was 93,000 miles ago when it was new.

Andrea Bargnani did an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, an Italian newspaper dedicated to sports, in which he said some harsh words about the objectively awful team that employs him. Raptors coach Dwane Casey cautioned the press not to blow what might be a mistranslation out of proportion, explaining to CBC Sports that he's wary "because we've all travelled and I've seen some crazy articles come out, a lot of it's lost in translation. I don't know what his intentions are or what he meant by his statement, but I'll ask him." This, he has presumably had plenty of time to do, so we're going to go ahead and assume Bargnani meant exactly what he said, which would be logical, because what he said made sense.
What did he say? Well, thanks to the handy and always hilariously just short of coherent Google Translate, we can tell you straight from the primary source, sort of:
He was hurt in a negative moment, both team and personal: what's happening?
"It did not work anything this season. We pretty much the worst NBA team. The summer market was made to build a winning team, but we are not winning. We are below all expectations. Nobody used to play with anyone. We won 4 games: it's a tragic thing, from whatever side you look at it is a desperate situation. 4 years that I keep losing . In order to improve the only thing for now is to win and we did not. "
Google Translate may have difficulty extracting meaning from full sentences, but "tragic" and "desperate" are pretty easy to interpret. Later in the interview he's asked whether he would want to play in Mike D'Antoni's system in Los Angeles, and he responds, again quite logically, "I've never played, so I do not know what to think. Surely at this time is not working very well."
The Raptors aren't literally the worst team in the league—that would be the Wizards, who at 3-17 have a worse winning percentage than Toronto (5-19)—and the Cavs are sitting ugly at 5-19 as well. But relative to expectations, they may well be the worst. Some thought Toronto might sneak into the playoffs this year; instead, they're practically mathematically eliminated a quarter way through the season, and seem to be in about as deep a spiritual funk as anyone west of the Staples Center. Bargnani himself is shooting terribly, the front-office is relying on inexperienced big men to produce consistently (they aren't) and the team couldn't guard the staff of the La Gazzetta dello Sport. The story here? Andrea Bargnani knows exactly how badly the Raptors suck, and Dwane Casey might not.

The UK government is failing to achieve the full potential of the £16bn it spends on ICT each year, according to a Kable report.
In a report on information management in the UK public sector, Kable found that transformation projects using technology often did not achieve their full potential for efficiency gains. When organisations implemented good information management principles, however, their performance improved.
Such principles were set out in the government's November 2008 Information Matters report. They include ensuring information is used appropriately, sharing expertise and using common information management standards.
Although the majority of organisations contacted by Kable had adopted at least one of these principles, only a third were considering adopting the whole of the Information Matters policy and another third were not aware the policy existed.
The findings suggest that organisations do not pursue good information management unless pushed to do so. Data loss, regulations, internal policy and the need for more efficient business processes had the most influence on the adoption of effective information management policies.
Scott Bryan, research director at Kable and author of the report, said: "We have looked at all sorts of reasons for why ICT is successful or not, including money spent or not and the type of supplier, and none of these have been very reliable predictors.
"But when we looked at how well an organisation puts into practice and embraces information management principles, this was found to be a very good predictor of how well an organisation realised benefits from its ICT."
Kable found that half the projects undertaken by the public sector are not seen by staff to have delivered the benefits they set out to achieve. Work pressures meant that few organisations are putting transformation projects at the centre of their strategy. Success appears to be attributable to the efforts of staff who take ownership of projects and information management generally.
Kable carried out its research in February 2009 when it interviewed 50 employees in a range of public sector organisations by telephone, as well as conducting detailed interviews with representatives from a further five organisations.

Soon, we may all be living and working in the cloud. Analysts from Gartner, a major research firm, predict that by 2014 the cloud will replace the personal computer. It makes sense for the cloud to become our digital center, considering the proliferation of smartphones, iPads and other devices that require interconnectivity to be as effective as possible (or even effective at all).
"Major trends in client computing have shifted the market away from a focus on personal computers to a broader device perspective that includes smartphones, tablets and other consumer devices," Steve Kleynhans, research vice president at Gartner. "Emerging cloud services will become the glue that connects the web of devices that users choose to access during the different aspects of their daily life."
The cloud is already becoming a part of the normal consumer's computing experience: Microsoft and Apple are both weaving cloud capabilities into their new operating systems, and Google is releasing a cloud-centered initiative called Google Play along with some personal cloud storage.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
There are, of course, significant obstacles to cloud-centered computing for all, most notably when it comes to software and application development, but if the market calls for it, it will likely come.
"In this new world, the specifics of devices will become less important for the organization to worry about," Kleynhans said. "Users will use a collection of devices, with the PC remaining one of many options, but no one device will be the primary hub. Rather, the personal cloud will take on that role. Access to the cloud and the content stored or shared in the cloud will be managed and secured, rather than solely focusing on the device itself."
Personally, the supplementation reminds me of the reimagining of the print medium: it remains a part of media but supplemented by various other media. If things move this quickly or not remains to be seen, but either way, the next few years should be interesting.

Jacob does end up happy w/his soul mate.) They will just have to be VERY CAREFUL on how they explain it so that those who have not read the books don't get the wrong idea or get grossed out. (I'm REALLY hoping that it gets explained in Eclipse so that they won't have to backtrack in BD. But they might not since they like to cut things out. Anther good reason that SM will be a producer on this one.)
i'm pretty sure i read in one of those blog reviews fromfans who saw the Oprah screening that Jake DOES explain imprinting in Eclipse

Paul Anderson is a prolific Generation X filmmaker with a trademark style and five Academy Awards under his belt. He's also made music videos for everyone who's performed at Largo. In addition to his film-making, he's dated models turned singers, singers turned models, daughters of singers and models who only sing in the shower.
Paul Anderson's films are notable for their flashy style and complicated, interweaving story lines. As one of the video store generation of filmmakers, he employs a large bag of cinematic tricks, including quick cuts, constant camera movement, stunning scenery, dutch tilts, low angles, high angles and revolving pullback shots-- tricks gleaned from growing up with a VCR rather than film school learning. He frequently employs female-led ensemble casts drawn from a stock of trusted actors. Making up that group are such players as Julianne Moore, Sean Pertwee, John C. Reilly, Colin Salmon, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jeremy Bolt, Melora Walters, Jason Isaacs, and Luiz Guzman, to name a few.
Anderson's ostentatious style is frequently used to elevate the seemingly mundane to epic proportions. Sometimes the point of this ostentatious streak seems merely like showing-off, perhaps an effect of Anderson's high level of film exposure but probable lack of theory. He frequently revels in the seedy underside of outwardly blissful environs. Other frequently recurring themes include constructions and examinations of makeshift families, the role of media, divine acts, secret governmental organizations and the unintended consequences of technology run amok.
He made his first film while still in High School. It was The Dirk Diggler Story. It was a short mockumentary inspired by the teenage Anderson's voracious appetite for porn.

One of the things I used it for is on embutido. Everyone knows that you have to steam them for 1 hour which is not a problem in this oven.
I found it very useful in steaming a batch of potatoes for one evening that we need it for mashed potatoes.
Several times I steamed veggies in it like these broccoli. It was excellent, the broccoli retained its vibrant green colour while being cooked through and full of flavour.
The one we were wanting most to steam was a fresh sea bass. We got our wish when we visited the Bull Ring Indoor Market in Birmingham and came away with a good sized one to steam Chinese-style.
I also managed to try new recipes like this steamed chicken that I adapted from my well thumbed Chinese Cuisine cookbook by Huang Su-Huei.
Steamed Chicken with Green Onion
1 kg whole chicken of whole legs
1 Tbsp cooking wine
1 Tbsp salt
1 green onion - cut into 4 pieces
2 slices of ginger
1/2 cup shredded green onion
4 Tbsp shredded ginger
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp water
- Combine the cooking wine, salt, green onion (the one cut into 4 pieces), and the slices of ginger. Set aside.
- Combine the cornstarch and water in another bowl. Set aside.
- Wash the chicken and pat it dry.
- Rub both the outside and inside of the chicken with the salt mixture. Leave the mixture inside the chicken. Let stand for 1 hour.
- Place in a steamer breast-side up and steam over high heat for about 35 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and reserve the liquid.
- Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put in on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the shredded onion, ginger, and ground black pepper on top.
- Heat 1/2 cup of the reserved steaming liquid up to a boil.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Let cook for a few seconds or until thick. Pour over the chicken.

Disclaimer: Originally posted in the "Movie Review" group, thought I would open it up to everyone.
So I'm looking for movies that have an Atheism or freethinking theme, either overtly or subtly. No documentaries though.
Most Hollywood films seem to have a "Faith will save you" or "You have to believe in something" theme if they deal with religion at all.
The few pro-Atheist or pro-freethinking films I can think of are:
The Invention of Lying (2009)
The Truman Show (1998)
Contact (1997)
Which ones can you think of?

Okay, but who is the theistic deity in The Lord of the Rings? Answer: there isn't one. No god is being worshipped at any point in the movie. No obedience to a god. There are evil magicians with lots of power, but ultimately they are mortal and their magic can be defeated.
LOTR is a funny one - Sauron is more or less a god or demi-god .... Gandalf goes into the afterlife and gets sent back - one is left to assume that it is some kind of deity that sends him back - but none are openly talked about.
Wasn't LOTR loosely based on the bible?
You actually have to read "The Silmarillion" to see the 'religious' part of LOTR. The Silmarillion is basically an elvish Bible. Tolkien actually recounts the whole creation of Middle Earth through some form of 'angelic beings' that are called Valars, and we eventually find out that all wizards (Sauron included) of Middle Earth are demi-gods. There's no direct reference Christianity, but here and there you get the hint. The movies... not so much in my opinion, but the actual literature has some religious themes.
I think you're going well beyond the facts with your speculation. At any rate, there is no theistic (personal) deity implied. Even if a deity sends him back (which is a stretch in itself), it needn't be a person.
"Life of Brian" - nothing subtle there.
Excellent call! Most Monty Python will contain religious mockery.
"The Ledge" is actually worth a watch, and has some great anti-religion dialogue.
I too am sick of the typical hollywood "believe", "believe in yourself", "believe in a higher being" garbage.
I would say "The Contender" is as good as any. Joan Allen as an atheistic senator trying to be appointed as
Jeff Bridges' Vice President.
127 Hours?
I liked this movie. It surely had nothing to do with religion, but the fact that he did not summon, conjure or even think about a deity in his state of suffering, to me was an indicator that he was an atheist. This one was subtle, but god damn it was inspiring!
Waking Life (2001)
The Last Wave (1977)
A Scanner Darkly (2006)
I don't know about anyone else but I took I <3 Huckabees as an athiest movie, it certainly opened a lot of doors for me!
Also for just shits and giggles...in my opinion all Scooby Doo movies and shows are atheist...think about it...they always look toward the facts and the supernatural is always revealed to be a hoax and explained at the end of every mystery!!


text: I am a self taught artist. I grew up in Sweden, but live and work in Ireland since 2006. I have always had a passion for drawing and illustrating, and as an adult I've made art being a big part of my life. I spend every free hour in the studio and have always some project going on. I love working with details and that is why I love working on the classic/vintage cars and the illustrations for children. Other objects I enjoy working on are maritime/boats and graphite portraits.I work in various mediums such as water colours, acrylics and ink. I do take commissions all year, and if you would like to have your favourite car drawn up/painted or a portrait don't hesitate to contact me. I do have a 'normal' job beside my art, and use every free time to do my art and photography.

The Facts
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that seems to be related to the amount of daylight to which people are exposed. For most people it tends to be worse in the fall or winter, making it an extreme form of the "winter blahs." Some people, however, experience symptoms in the late spring or early summer.
Every year, as the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, it is estimated that about 2 or 3 out or every 100 people are affected by SAD. About 15 out of every 100 people have less severe symptoms of SAD called the "winter blues."
It is more common in women than in men and it usually begins when people are in their 20s. Older people are at lower risk. Children can also experience SAD, although it is far less common.
The cause of SAD is unknown. It is believed to be caused by a decrease in the person's exposure to sunlight. It may be linked to the body's internal clock, which controls temperature and hormone production.
SAD may also be related to the levels of melatonin in the body, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland. The nerve centres in the brain that control daily rhythms and moods are stimulated by the amount of light entering the eyes. During the night, the pineal gland produces melatonin, which makes people drowsy. In the morning, the bright light of the sun causes the gland to stop producing melatonin. On dull winter days, not enough light is received to trigger this waking up process and for some people it may become very difficult to get up in the morning.
In addition, on dark winter days, less light comes into the eyes during the daylight hours, and this may cause some people to feel "low."
Geography seems to play a role. SAD is more common among people who live in northern climates, or among people who move from a sunny, southern climate to a more northern climate. SAD can affect anyone, even if they are not already predisposed to depression. If someone has a history of depression and lives in a more northern climate, they may be more susceptible.
Symptoms and Complications
SAD usually occurs during the late fall or winter months - usually between October and April. Symptoms include:
- lethargy and fatigue (low energy level)
- withdrawal from friends and family
- inability to focus or concentrate
- sadness, anxiety, and despair
- change in appetite with cravings for sweets and starches
- weight gain
- headaches
- irritability
- increased sleep
In children, symptoms include irritability, problems in school, and difficulty getting out of bed.
Some people, especially those who experience SAD in the summer, may have an opposite pattern of symptoms, such as loss of appetite and weight loss as well as insomnia.
Making the Diagnosis
Even if someone is not predisposed to depression, SAD can affect them. The diagnosis for SAD is made when certain criteria are met.
Your doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms and perform a physical exam. Your doctor may also order blood tests to rule out other medical conditions (e.g., low thyroid) that have similar symptoms to SAD.
Treatment and Prevention
There are many options for treating SAD. It is usually treated with light therapy, exercise, and good nutrition, as well as antidepressants in more pronounced and severe cases.
Daily (professionally supervised) phototherapy with exposure to a specific type of light (full-spectrum white light) can sometimes eliminate SAD quite quickly. Phototherapy is delivered in a phototherapy device ("light box") that can be purchased or rented on a monthly basis from a private supplier or in medical device stores. People can read, but not sleep, for the several hours a day they receive light therapy.
Symptoms should subside within a few days, but they may reappear if therapy is stopped. Phototherapy should always be administered in consultation with a physician, as there are some people who should not use it.
Exercise is very helpful, especially if it's aerobic and combined with light, for example, walking outdoors on a bright winter day or exercising on a treadmill in front of a light box.
Because many people with SAD gain weight, a healthy and low-fat diet is important to help keep weight gain to a minimum.
Counselling and therapy may also be part of a treatment plan for SAD.
