Jelastic has ramped up its Java server hosting platform for developers with a newly refined Platform‑as‑a‑Service (PaaS) function. Updating its central offering as it has, Jelastic now allows programmers to build and run a Java application in the cloud instead of from a personal computer. Using Jelastic's platform, developers can swap test and production environments to fine tune their work. There is also the option to clone an exact copy to test or prepare an application for production deployment.
The company's goal has been to give developers the opportunity to make code changes and rebuild applications inside of a hosted cloud computing environment. The theory is that this will remove the "lag time" caused whenever files are updated and uploaded from a personal computer. Application source code compatibility exists for version-control repositories working to either the Git or SVN protocol.
Jelastic is fully compatible with existing Java applications and libraries. Java developers have access to support for any JVM-based application including pure Java 6 or 7, JRuby, Scala, and Groovy. In addition, Jelastic provides support for SQL databases that include MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Non-SQL database support is provided for MongoDB and CouchDB. Supported application servers include Tomcat 6 and 7, GlassFish, and Jetty. Load balancing and caching is done though integrated NGINX and developer tools integration via Maven and Ant plug-ins.
"With our Java hosting platform, application developers have the easiest, fastest, most efficient way to build and deploy any Java application," said Ruslan Synytsky, CEO, Jelastic. "We provide all the most popular options for any Java developer on the world's first cloud platform to host and auto-scale any Java application."

Researchers at the McKinsey Global Institute have concluded that the world will need to spend $57 to $67 trillion between today and 2030 in order to update its infrastructure. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gives our nation's infrastructure a grade of "D" and says the United States alone needs to spend $2.2 trillion over the next five years to get infrastructure back on track. Despite this tall, urgent task, infrastructure spending became a failed bargaining chip in the debates surrounding the fiscal cliff and many politicians remain unwilling to spend where spending is needed.
President Obama tried (but failed) to make infrastructure spending a priority in his first administration. The American Jobs Act of 2011 called for $50 billion in spending to improve railroads, airports and roads. It also would have set up a $10 billion "infrastructure bank" to stimulate spending and create easier access to project funding. The $50 billion figure also came up during the "grand bargain" talks when the President reportedly again sought $50 to $75 billion in infrastructure spending in exchange for spending cuts.
Infrastructure spending on an international stage is even more complex and daunting as many developing countries are still trying to build infrastructure, let alone modernize what's in existence. The McKinsey research suggests that the United States is not a leader in terms of infrastructure and more closely resembles middle income nations like South Africa and China. The gap becomes wider when the focus is placed on transportation.
Finding funding is not going to be a cakewalk, nationally or internationally, but progressive methods are being implemented to beat back costs. This new wave of focus on more efficient methods could be part of the answer to our nation's infrastructure woes.
According to The Washington Post:
For example, Chile has adopted a set of standardized cost-benefit analysis procedures that have both made the approval process for infrastructure projects more predictable and increased the average effectiveness of approved programs. The Australian state of New South Wales adopted a permitting process that reduced time-to-approval by 11 percent in one year. Massachusetts embraced new ultra-fast manufacturing techniques that enabled it to build 14 bridges in only 10 weekends, which is both good in its own right and prevented the high costs associated with long-term, oft-delayed projects (like, say, Boston's own Big Dig).
Adopting methods like those used for the Massachusetts "Fast 14" project (addressed by us here) could cut costs on a global scale, perhaps by as much as $1 trillion (from $2.7 trillion to $1.7 trillion) according to McKinsey's research.

Btw, does anyone happen to know what the Nyingmapa stance is regarding which buddha family Vajrakilaya? Various sources refer to him as part of the Vajra family under Buddha Akshobya, or as part of the Karma family under Buddha Amoghasiddhi. Is he more one than the other, or both... Or is this one of those things that depends on which Tantra we're looking at and which lama we're asking?
Anyway, Garchen Rinpoche will be bestowing the empowerment of Vajrakilaya (a.k.a. Dorjé Phurba) according to the lineage of Ratna Lingpa. This is the only form I've known him to give the wang for, so I can only guess that this is the main form used by the Drikung Kagyu order. Garchen is also a great Dzogchen master, having studied and practiced under his guru, Khenpo Munsel, for nearly 20 years while imprisoned by the Communist Chinese.
For those with a connection to Garchen Rinpoche, Ratna Lingpa, and/or Dorjé Phurba, or those who would like to establish such bonds, this is a chance to do so with full permission to receive authentic blessing over the internet from a living Bodhisattva.

Third IRS Whistleblower Complaint Brought Against American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
Earlier this year two complaints were filed against the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) by Common Cause and Clergy Voice, alleging major violations of IRS Code lobbying prohibitions committed by ALEC, a "charity" which enjoys a 501(c)(3) tax exempt status with the IRS.
ALEC claims their activities are all related to educating lawmakers and that none are related to lobbying for or against legislation or a particular candidate. Nearly all of their activities, however, appear to be directly related to creating thousands of pieces of model legislation and lobbying for passage of each one in most U.S. states. ALEC openly boasts a success rate of 17% of "their" model legislation becoming law.
The first two complaints address issues of lobbying and soliciting contributions from corporations, businesses and other organizations. The contributions are then used to reimburse ALEC state legislative members for their travel, lodging and incidental expenses related to attending any of ALEC's three annual events (Summits or Meetings). The money is requested by ALEC's state chairmen and when received they forward the funds to ALEC to "hold" until an event is concluded. Then state legislators submit requests for reimbursement for the costs of their attending, and ALEC disburses the held funds.
A third issue involves state lawmakers strategizing with corporate lobbyists or representatives at these annual meetings to develop proposed legislation in one or more of nine (9) ALEC task forces. Once adopted by ALEC these model bills are sent back to states with ALEC members who are required by ALEC's by-laws to ensure introduction of any legislation adopted by ALEC.
The Voters Legislative Transparency Project (VLTP), Inc. filed a third complaint and in it reports that it concurs with and supports the allegations put forth in both of the now pending complaints.

hyperink brauchte ein neues Bannerwerbung Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 45 Designs von 16 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We're a digital publishing startup. We create content websites in career and education (eg, college admissions, business jobs, law jobs, etc). We work directly with experts in each category to write and publish the content, and sell ebooks based on that content.
Our target audience varies depending on the category, but most of them are well-educated, information hungry, young (18-35), and male.
We're looking for a header banner for each of the following categories:
-How to get into Ivy League universities (Text: "Ivy League Admissions"); live site: http://www.ivyleagueadmissions.org
-How to get a technology patent (Text: "Patent Secrets")
-How to get a great job after law school (Text: "Work For Top Law Firms"); live site: http://www.lawschoolalum.com

-How to get into a top 10 MBA school (Text: "Get A Top 10 MBA"); live site: http://www.toptenMBA.org
The ideal designer will be one that can move fast while not sacrificing quality. Think in terms of templates - we're looking to create many more than just these 5 sites and the more you can templatize the look/feel, the faster you can create them.
We are not necessarily looking for perfect design - "good enough" will do for now :)
We like something that is eye-catching, with a little color, but not too loud. Each banner must include the text explicitly noted above.
Opportunity for more work if fit is good!
Output: PSD format. If you use AI as well, please send that too, but the final file should be in PSD
Dimensions for header banner: 852 width by 125 height
Here are some examples of websites with good headers:

The original BioShock was created using Epic's Unreal Engine
3 2.5. Let's imagine, though, just for a second, that it had instead been built using Crytek's fancy new CryEngine 3.
The same tech that powers Crysis 2, it would certainly have allowed for larger, more expansive depictions of Rapture than the 2007 original allowed.
These screenshots, mocked up as a part-time thing on the side, were done by Scott Homer, an artist working at Crytek's UK satellite (the studio formerly known as Free Radical). He calls it a "homage" to the game, and it's a good looking homage at that.

Words take directly from Snowboarder Mag's site:
Once again The Launch proved itself to be the most important event in snowboarding for showcasing up and coming talent. The level of riding that went down at Bear was all time with some seriously next level tricks going down at an almost minute by minute basis. One of the most impressive things about this year's Launch however was how hard the younger crew pushed things, not content to just lap the public park and jib the sides of the jumps, this year's Supergrom crew packed up and snaked their way into sessions along side the older crew on the hips, jibs and big jumps. While a lot of older kids sat down or found reasons not to hit things the younger squad led by Red Gerard, Cody Warble, Gabe Ferguson, and Brock Crouch had the time of their lives at Bear riding everything and often times packing up and hitting everything together. We dubbed them the "Supergroms" and as you watch this try to think just what you were doing at 12 years old.

I just finished writing the first draft of my upcoming report titled, "Creating an Enterprise Data Strategy: Managing Data as a Corporate Asset." This is a broad topic these days, even broader than just business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing. It's really about how organizations can better manage an enterprise asset--data--that most business people don't value until it's too late.
After spending more than a week reviewing notes from many interviews and trying to formulate a concise, coherent, and pragmatic analysis without creating a book, I can distill my findings into a couple of bullet points. And since I am still collecting feedback from sponsors and others, I welcome your input as well!
- Learn the Hard Way. Most business executives don't perceive data as a vital corporate asset until they've been badly burned by poor quality data. It could be that their well-publicized merger didn't deliver promised synergies due to a larger than anticipated overlap in customers or customer churn is increasing but they have no idea who is churning or why.
- The Value of Data. Certainly, there are cost savings from consolidating legacy reporting systems and independent data marts and spreadmarts. But the only way to really calculate the value of data is to understand the risks poor quality data poses to strategic projects, goals, partnerships, and decisions. Since risk is virtually invisible until something bad happens, this is why selling a data strategy is so hard to do.
- Project Alignment. Even with a catastrophic data-induced failure, the only way to cultivate data fastidiousness is one project at a time. Data governance for data governance's sake does not work. Business people must have tangible, self-evident reasons to spend time on infrastructure and service issues rather than immediate business outcomes on which they're being measured.
- Business driven. This goes without saying: data strategy and governance is not an IT project or program. Any attempt by executives to put IT in charge of this asset is doomed to fail. The business must assign top executives, subject matter experts, and business stewards to define the rules, policies, and procedures required to maintain accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of critical data elements.
- Sustainable Processes. The ultimate objective for managing any shared service is embed its care and tending into business processes that are part of the corporate culture. At this point, managing data becomes everyone's business and no one questions why it's done. If you try to change the process, people will say "This is the way we've always done it." This is a sustainable process.
- Data Defaults. In the absence of strong data governance, data always defaults to the lowest common denominator, which is first and foremost, an analyst armed with a spreadsheet, and secondly, a department head with his own IT staff and data management systems. This is kind of like the law of entropy: it takes a lot of energy to maintain order and symmetry but very little for it to devolve into randomness.
- Reconciling Extremes. The key to managing data (or any shared services or strategy) is to balance extremes by maintaining a free interplay between polar opposites. A company in which data is a free-for-all needs to impose standard processes to bring order to chaos. On the other hand, a company with a huge backlog of data projects needs to license certain people and groups to bend or break the rules for the benefit of the business.
- A Touch of Chaos. Instead of trying to beat back data chaos, BI managers should embrace it. Spreadmarts are instantiating of business requirements so use them (and the people who create them) to flesh out the enterprise BI and DW environment. "I don't think it's healthy to think that your central BI solution can do it all. The ratio I'm going for is 80% corporate, 20% niche," says Mike Masciandaro, BI Director at Dow, talking about the newest incarnation of spreadmarts: in-memory visualization tools.
- Safety Valves - Another approach to managing chaos is to coopt it. If users threaten to create independent data marts while they wait for the EDW to meet their needs, create a SWAT team to build a temporary application that meets their needs. If they complain about the fast and dirty solution (and you don't want to make it too appealing), they know there is a better solution in the offing.
- Data Tools. There has been a lot more innovation in technology than processes. So, today, organizations should strive to arm their data management teams with the proper tool for every task. And with the volume and types of data accelerating, IT professionals need every tool they can get.
So what did I miss? If you send me some tantalizing insights, I just might have to quote you in the report!

In February 2011 a small ejectable payload, built by a team of students from The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), was launched from Esrange on-board the REXUS-10 sounding rocket. The payload separated from the rocket, deployed and retracted the wire booms, landed with a parachute and was subsequently recovered. Here the design of the experiment and post fight analysis are presented.

Prefer to see the vinyl, the tape or the poster?
Aside from Breakup Song being one of Deerhoof's best albums to date, it's also one of their poppiest. Drummer Greg Saunier says it best:
Deerhoof drummer Greg here to introduce you to our latest record. We've been called a lot of things, as you know. But pop has always marked the spot on the Deerhoof treasure map.
Pop = catchy
Pop = new
Pop = no rules
So if you want to go dancing or do karaoke with Deerhoof, you don't have to ask twice.
We've just finished a sensational record of Cuban-flavored party-noise-energy music. We called it Breakup Song, but don't expect a bunch of Grammy®-baiting sob stories, OK? In Deerhoof's thesaurus, freedom's just another word for feeling good again and raising hell and getting away with it. Stick with us and the bad guys with guns will never catch up.
1) Breakup Songs 2) There's That Grin 3) Bad Kids to the Front 4) Zero Seconds Pause 5) Mothball the Fleet 6) Flower 7) To Fly or Not to Fly 8) The Trouble With Candyhands 9) We Do Parties 10) Mario's Flaming Whiskers III 11) Fête d'Adieu

Sam Cary Bar Association's 40th anniversary
Denver's former manager of safety, Al LaCabe, received the Courage Under Fire Award when the Sam Cary Bar Association marked its 40th anniversary with a celebratory dinner at the Marriott Denver Tech Center.
Dan Muse, who was Denver City Attorney from 1991-2000, was given the King Trimble Lifetime Achievement Award, and Nicole Gorham was named Young Lawyer of the Year.
Muse, an attorney with Pendleton, Friedberg, also served on the state Public Utilities Commission, as an assistant attorney general for Colorado and as a bankruptcy trustee for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Gorham is a member of the Colorado Lawyers Committee, an organization that has 1,300 lawyers who volunteer to "find solutions to significant problems" impacting children and the poor.
There were fewer than 15 African-American lawyers practicing in Colorado when the Sam Cary Bar Association was formed in 1971 by Norm Early, Raymond Jones, Gary Jackson, Phillip Jones, King Trimble, Billy Lewis, the Hon. Alfred Harrell and Marilyn Cason. There are now 200-plus.
Sam Cary became Colorado's first African-America attorney after being admitted to the Colorado Bar in 1919. He established a practice in Five Points, and was 74 when he died in 1961.
The anniversary celebration was planned by a committee that included Ben Aisenberg, Katina Banks, Rita Booker, Charles Casteel, Carolyn Daniels, Christina Dixon, Victor Devereaux, Norm Early, Hubert Farbes, Leslie Fields, Sonny Flowers, Nicole Gorham, Skip Gray, Edward Hopkins, Tyrone Holt, Gary Jackson, April Jones, Barbara Kelley, Vance Knapp, Dayna Matthews, Jason Moore, Rico Munn, Dan Muse, Buddy Noel, David Powell, Patty Powell, Y.E. Scott, Wayne Vaden and Whitney Traylor.

Just said hey you got approved what car do you want and test drove it for half an hour then signed papers and kept rushing me to get insurance and hurry me put them door. Don't get me wrong good customer service but they will say anything to get there money worth. "
" They got back to me but this car is not available right now because it's out as a loaner... Think it should be unlisted since it's unavailable... "

Home brewers of craft beer open a supply store and micro-brewery in Plymouth.
Tina Williams knows first hand the mistakes of novice home brewers, so she has plenty of advice and encouragement for customers of her new Plymouth home brew supply store.
"I came into the kitchen and heard splashing and fizzing and there was this sugary mess all over my stove," said Williams, describing her husband's first attempt to make beer. "The biggest mistake people make is they don't watch it closely enough."
Williams didn't plan to make a career around home brewing, but she got hooked nine years ago after she rescued her husband's brew. Now, she regularly uses her own recipes to make five gallon batches and spends her days running Plymouth Home Brew Supply, which she opened in April.
"I love the creativity of making beer, and I love sharing it," said Williams, 31, who recently made a barley wine aged with dates. "You could take one style and put 10 bottles in front of someone and no bottle is going to taste the same."
Similarly, Paul Nixon became so devoted to brewing beer in his Plymouth home that he last spring turned a barn on his property into the small micro-brewery, Independent Fermentations.
"I've been asked, 'why do you bother when there is so much great beer around?" said Nixon, 49, a civil engineer who brews beer on nights and weekends. "I enjoy trying to figure out how quality beer is made. I've developed a bunch of recipes and am always trying to use local ingredients and to change things up."
Like wine and coffee, beer has a seemingly endless variety of tastes influenced by its ingredients – water, malt, hops and yeast – and preparation. Craft beer is defined as beer with distinctive, innovative flavors made in relatively small batches with high quality ingredients.
"The craft beer industry has exploded, and that's had a huge impact on the increase in home brewers," said Williams, a former restaurant manager who moved to Halifax last year. "People feel that the beer is so great they want to make it themselves."
In recent years, Plymouth has become a destination for people who love craft beer, Nixon said. It's a fitting identity for the home of the Pilgrims, who relied on beer for fluids and carbohydrates on their ocean passage.
At least half a dozen Plymouth bars and restaurants specialize in craft beer, and tours and tastings are regular draws at Mayflower Brewing Company, founded in 2007 by a 10th great grandson of John Alden, a beer barrel cooper on the Mayflower.
"We have two breweries, seven to nine bars downtown that serve a fantastic array of craft beers, and now the home brew shop," said Nixon. "I see the town really coming along."
In her well-lit, spacious shop with large bay windows near the Plymouth waterfront, Williams has created an environment that encourages browsing and brings out the aesthetics of beer making. Stored in hand-crafted maple bins with clear plastic shoots, the grains form a rainbow of earth tones and flavors, from "toasty biscuit to nutty caramel."
"I want it to feel inviting, not like a warehouse," said Williams, who estimates Plymouth will have more than 120 home brewers by 2016 based on membership in the Homebrewers Association and the town's demographics. "Some supply stores can feel intimidating because of the industrial feel."
Plymouth Home Brew Supply is the second supply store to open on the South Shore in recent years. South Shore Homebrew Emporium – a chain store – opened in Weymouth in early 2012.
Williams sells 60 kinds of grains that can be ground in the store, more than 50 strains of yeast, dozens of liquid and dried malt extracts, a wide range of hops, and all necessary equipment, including kits.
"When you do all grain brewing (where the brewer steeps the grains to extract the sugar), you have better control over the flavor of your beer," said Williams, who offers home brewing classes in the store and will start a seminar series at New World Tavern in Plymouth. "But most people start with kits, which are a great way to start to make good beers and build up confidence."
Williams believes the most important thing she offers is her vast knowledge and devotion to the craft.
"If customers have had a beer they enjoyed, I can help them come up with a recipe to create a similar one," she said. "And they can bring me the beer they made, and I'll talk to them about it. I can help them make a beer they will love."
Williams can't sell the beer she makes, since home brewers cannot legally sell beer. Eventually, she may seek to sell locally made beers, such as those made by Nixon's micro-brewery, Independent Fermentation.
Nixon, who has more than 20 years of brewing experience and makes about 55 gallons a week, recently created a new beer that he calls Honey Tripel. It's a Belgian monastery style tripel made with honey from Bourne. He distributes it to New World Tavern, Driftwood Publick House, Rye Tavern and other Plymouth bars and stores, and he will bring it to the Mass Brewers Festival on Aug. 29 in Boston, where dozens of local brewers will showcase more than 100 styles of beer.
Nixon now is looking for a larger location to expand his micro-brewery, which he hopes to eventually make into his full-time job.
"It's been quite easy to sell 55 gallons a week," Nixon said. "I started with places where I was a pretty steady customer. But now that we're getting a reputation for having some tasty beer, people are starting to call me now and asking for my beer."

No Dream: Western Fantasy Raises $1 Million for VOA
An effort one year in the making has paid off handsomely for Volunteers of America. Western Fantasy 2010, chaired by Ed and Gayle Novak, has netted $1 million. Maybe a half-million more. The counting is not yet complete.
The Novaks — he's a longtime Denver restaurateur and she is midway through her second term as president of the Denver Center Alliance — accepted the challenge of organizing this dress-Western extravaganza within days after the 2009 edition was done. They had a big job ahead of them, thanks to a lackluster economy that continues to have people thinking twice before laying out huge sums of money to attend or help sponsor such grand-scale events as this.
But they're nothing if not tenacious, and between Ed's business connections and Gayle's infectious enthusiasm and social media savvy, excitement not only was generated, it continued to grow as time progressed.
Gayle never left the house without her digital camera and chronicled every last get-together — including committee meetings, the kickoff party, the invitation-addressing session, the patron party and the decorating of the venue — for posting on her Facebook wall. She also shared links to news media coverage garnered along the way, and when it was announced that country superstar Wynonna Judd would be the headliner, Gayle posted regular links that would enable her extensive circle of Facebook friends to watch or read video, TV, newspaper and magazine snippets that featured Wynonna.

When astronomer Carl Sagan's landmark PBS series "Cosmos" first aired in the fall of 1980, the Voyager 1 spacecraft was flying past Saturn and its moons, sending back astonishing images of worlds never seen up close.
Some 33 years later, both Sagan and Voyager 1 (and its mate, Voyager 2) have left the realm of the reachable. He died in 1996, and, sooner rather than later, we'll lose the faint communications from the resilient Voyagers as they travel into interstellar space.
As just about everyone knows, each craft bears a human greatest-hits disc of our languages, music and understanding of numbers, among other assorted audio-visual samples of Earth's inhabitants. The thought of anyone or anything ever finding and playing the disc inspires great wonder; just as much, the thought of our little gizmos floating off forever into eternity brings on a chilling sense of loneliness.
To both soothe and stoke those feelings, "Cosmos" is back Sunday night (airing on Fox and then repeating on Monday nights on the National Geographic Channel). It's a 13-episode remake/update lovingly shepherded by Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan, who worked on the original series, and hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, a worthy heir to Sagan's legacy, even if he doesn't quite possess Sagan's natural ability to captivate viewers.
Though only one episode was made available for review, this new "Cosmos" arrives just when we seem to need it most. Hardly a day goes by where the news feed doesn't produce some freshly galling example of intellectual backsliding, with age-old fights resuming over science textbooks and religious intrusions on education and governing.
To borrow that Max von Sydow line from Woody Allen's "Hannah and Her Sisters": If Sagan returned to Earth on his interstellar Ship of the Imagination today, he might never stop throwing up. He'd see evidence of climate change. He'd read polls that find nearly half of Americans don't buy evolution. He'd see creationist museums and theme parks.
This 2014 "Cosmos" has its work cut out for it, to say the least, in a far different context than Sagan's series did.
"This adventure is made possible by generations of searchers strictly adhering to a simple set of rules," Tyson tells viewers in a carefully but beautifully phrased invitation to have an open mind. "Test ideas by experiment and observation; build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail; follow the evidence wherever it leads and question everything. Accept these terms and the cosmos is yours." (Reject these terms and you might wind up sitting on an Adam and Eve roller-coaster ride around our 6,000-year-old planet.)
Happily and even nostalgically, "Cosmos" orbits high above all this noise.
It begins much like Sagan's original did, with Tyson stepping aboard a sleek Ship of the Imagination for a primer on the size of the observable universe. The series takes full advantage of the leaps in computer-generated effects since 1980 (thanks again to some science) as Tyson journeys 'round the sun and past the planets, then out past Neptune and the "tens of thousands" of planet-ish bits and pieces on the fringe — of which, pathetically, "Pluto is one."
Though this is always a dazzling trip, I can't help but think that the best version of it exists in neither the old nor new "Cosmos," but instead in the unforgettable opening scene of the 1997 film adaptation of Sagan's novel "Contact," in which the camera eerily follows a cacophony of Earth-based radio and TV broadcasts outward in space and backward through time into the utter silence of galactic indifference.
In the new "Cosmos," we have Tyson telling us about the Oort Cloud and the particular band of the Milky Way's spirals where our sun becomes just one of so very many; beyond that, there is the "local group" of galaxies nearest ours; beyond that, the Virgo supercluster of galaxies; beyond that, eventually, the limits of what we currently understand to be our universe.
Beyond even that, Tyson hypothesizes, our universe might just be a teeny-tiny bubble, one of many universes in a multiverse. (Pause here to remember where the '80s "Cosmos" played best: dorm rooms, where minds were easily blown and Oort clouds were frequent.)
"Feeling a little small?" Tyson asks as we head back to our blue marble. "Well, in the context of the cosmos, we are small."
That humbling experience of "Cosmos," then and now, is precisely what offends some people. The wonder of it, the beauty of it, the enormity of it — with nary a mention of the belief in a God who made all of it. The nerve! "You, me, everyone — we are made of star stuff," Tyson informs us, secure in the knowledge of the table of elements.
This random insignificance still strikes a note of heresy for many, but "Cosmos" doesn't try to skirt the fact that much remains unknown. "We still don't know how life got started," he says. "[It's] one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of science."
As much as the new "Cosmos" is a striking and worthy update, its arrival has served as a launchpad for reviewers and writers to engage in their own science nostalgia about the first "Cosmos."
And why not? It's difficult to overstate the cultural impact and perfect timing of the original. Sagan's contagious enthusiasm for space caught on just as the youth of Generation X were discovering their ones-and-zeros, whether dialing up into nascent computer bulletin boards ("War Games"-style) or wasting hours with their Atari consoles. NASA's space shuttle was about to take off; geek culture was lured out of the basement by Hollywood's enormous appetite for science-fiction blockbusters; smart kids started getting real attention (as opposed to half-interested nods) for going to space camp or winning science fairs or writing code.
Nerddom in the Radio Shack '80s was still a long way from the triumphant era of camping out for the new iPhone release; in his turtleneck sweaters and corduroy sport coats and wide-eyed eggheadedness, Sagan himself became an easy punchline ("Billions and billllllions").
But pop culture comes with its own sort of time-space continuum, in which the well-intentioned people we so easily lampooned in one decade (Mister Rogers comes to mind here) turn out to be our patron saints and guiding lights at a later point. Sagan's legacy as a science communicator is seen wherever and whenever a smart person gets up in front of a crowd — from pricey TED talks to fifth-period physics — and then persuasively, factually wrangles an impossible concept into compelling sense.
One of the co-executive producers of this "Cosmos" is Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Fox's "Family Guy" and other animated series. (He's also a film director, retro Sinatra-style crooner and last year's Oscar host.) MacFarlane's involvement is genuine and wiseass-free; like so many others who were adolescents or teenagers when "Cosmos" first aired, he clearly holds the series in high regard and has used his influence to get it aired in prime time on a broadcast network.
MacFarlane's creative contribution is most evident, I suppose, during a long and not terribly fascinating animation sequence in which Tyson tells the story of Giordano Bruno, a 16th-century Italian monk whose illicit reading of Lucretius and Copernicus inspired him to speak publicly of provocative notions of an infinite universe of suns and planets — and, naturally, led to his imprisonment and eventual execution at the hands of the Catholic Church.
In a cartoon style that recalls both modern anime and a set of catechism Colorforms, Bruno engages in the same tussle between faith and science that vexes us now. "Cosmos" is quite clear on the tragedy of persecuting those who challenge old ideas; barely a decade after Bruno's death, Galileo peered into space and saw further proof of heliocentrism in the planets and their moons.
There'll be plenty more animated history lessons throughout "Cosmos," and it's during them that a viewer might wish we'd just stick to flying around in the Ship of Imagination. The first episode picks up again when Tyson walks us through a cosmological calendar that puts the vastness of time into an understandable perspective: If each month represents a billion years or so, then each day is 40 million years. If the Big Bang occurs on Jan. 1, it would be summer on the calendar before our solar system forms; by fall, there's hint of life on young Earth. The narrative of human history doesn't begin until very late on Dec. 31; with five seconds to go, Jesus is born, followed two seconds later by Muhammad.
That's the "Cosmos" we knew and loved back in the day — not taunting us with our own insignificance, but rather inspiring us with the relative comfort of perspective. (And, really, how different is a cosmological calendar from the literary tradition of Genesis and the first seven days?) Rather than snuff out a belief in wonder, "Cosmos" encourages us to marvel at it.
Much of what Sagan hypothesized and rhapsodized about has come to pass; most notably, we've detected more than a thousand of the exoplanets he thought were out there in billions and billions. From a science standpoint alone, "Cosmos" has plenty of opportunity to revise and improve on the content of the original.
From a cultural perspective, I hope "Cosmos" will pick up the pace and have the same dazzling and meaningful impact it once did. But unless you're watching it with a child (which I encourage you to do), old fans of Sagan's show might find the first episode too remedial.
Then again, given the tenor and muck of public discourse these days, maybe it wouldn't hurt to start from scratch and explain to everyone how the Earth is round and revolves around the sun.
Carl, if you're out there in the stars — speak kindly of us.
(one hour, first of 13 parts) premieres Sunday at

The wonky lettering on this '87 Maxima's alarm indicator looked goofy, but at least drivers had no problems interpreting its meaning. Not so for this '81 Pontiac Bonneville's parking-brake pedal!
Pump To Set? Try saying that a few times. Are all pedals pumped? Are all parking brakes set? Hmmm... you don't really press a parking-brake pedal, nor do you push it. But doesn't pumping imply multiple actions? Keep pumping the pedal until the car tells you to stop? We're not sure what this pedal's designers found objectionable about simply labeling the pedal PARKING BRAKE and letting the users puzzle out its operation on their own, but there it is: PUMP TO SET!

ALAMEDA — Tight end Brandon Myers and fullback Marcel Reece were the Raiders' top two receivers last season. If coach Dennis Allen gets his way, his wide receivers won't be so overshadowed this season.
Denarius Moore led Raiders wide receivers with 51 receptions for 741 yards and seven touchdowns in 2012. Still, he appeared to regress from his rookie season, when he burst onto the scene as a consistent playmaker.
At one point last season, Moore got benched during a game late last season for lackluster play.
"He's a guy that we're counting on being our No. 1 receiver," Allen said of Moore. "But we need all those guys. … At the end of the day, we'll have five, maybe six receivers that have a chance to help this football team."
The Raiders get back Jacoby Ford from a foot injury that sidelined him all of last season. They also drafted Brice Butler and signed free agents Josh Cribbs, Conner Vernon and Sam McGuffie.
Juron Criner and Rod Streater showed promise last season as rookies. Allen said he expects significant growth from both players this season.
"I feel like a vet," Streater said. "Just over a year, I felt like I learned so much, from coverages and plays and things like that. I feel like I understand a whole lot more and can contribute more than I did last year."
Some of the current receivers had difficulty getting in sync with quarterback Carson Palmer last season. Too often, they ran incorrect routes or weren't where they were supposed to be.
Allen said all it takes for one of the receivers to become the go-to receiver is showing the ability to catch the ball and make plays on a consistent basis.
"We need guys to go up and make plays for us," Allen said. "It's understanding the route combinations, understanding the different techniques of running certain routes. Those are all certain things that you gain from experience. What a receiver is paid to do is go up and make plays on the ball and that's what we're looking for."

Event detail
Harvey Quaytman: Against the Static
Exhibit - Painting | October 17, 2018 – January 27, 2019 every day | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
The paintings of Harvey Quaytman (19372002) are distinct for their novel explorations of shape, drawing, texture, geometric pattern, and color application. While his works display a rigorous experimentation with formalism and materiality, they are simultaneously invested with rich undertones of sensuality, complexity, and humor. This new retrospective exhibition charts the trajectory of Quaytmans work from the 1960s to the late 1990s, including more than seventy works from key points throughout his career.
Quaytman began his career in the early 1960s, making gestural abstract paintings inspired by Willem de Kooning and Arshile Gorky. His focus on the character and shape of brushstrokes eventually led him to develop a style in the late 1960s that blended minimalist abstraction with an interest in gesturein color, movement, and tactility. In this sense, his wholly unique body of work resides at the junction of Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Process art, and Constructivisma place where considerations of line, distilled geometric forms, materiality, atmosphere, and texture all coalesce. The totality of Quaytmans highly original body of work places him squarely within the tradition of modernist painting, yet it also proves him to be one of its most capable and unsung explorers.
Born in Far Rockaway, New York, to Polish Russian Jews, Quaytman came of age in the downtown art scene of New York in the 1960sa time when painting itself was undergoing radical transformation in form, style, and concept. Committed to abstraction, Quaytman worked intuitively; one body of work led him to the next. In the 1960s and 1970s, he was propelled forward through his quest for the arc, as witnessed in his rarely seen curvilinear, shaped paintings. In the 1980s, he returned to a rectilinear format, but began to deconstruct it. Later, he committed himself to experimenting with the cruciform pattern, as a form rather than a symbol. Throughout it all he strove to keep the eye active across the canvas. My entire enterprise, he said, is against [the] static.

|My locker before the game
|The frozen Rideau Canal
|The view from my hotel room (Parliament Building)
Adversity is no doubt a part of everyone's lives, especially Paralympians, who overcome adversity on a daily basis just to make it through the day. But adversity is also extremely prevalent in the world of sports. This season, thus far, Team USA has seen more adversity than any other year since I have been a part of the team! We have yet to have a full team at any of our training camps or competitions – players have been out due to work-related issues, school, injuries, you name it – but despite the constant onslaught of adversity, Team USA has yet to miss a beat this season, and the team is playing extremely well! A couple of weekends ago, Team USA had our last competition before the World Championships which we will be leaving for on April 7.
In our last tune up event of the season, we traveled up to Ottawa, Ontario, to face off against Canada in a three-game exhibition series. The week was again filled with adversity, with multiple players being out. Taylor Chace missed the whole series, while Alexi Salamone missed the first game, and I had to leave to return home early and missed the second and third games. So with three of the team's top scorers missing games, we had to have players step up and fill in the gaps. And once again, we had a number of players who were up to the challenge!
The first game was a classic USA vs. Canada game, which consisted of an extremely high-tempo, hard-hitting affair. Adam Page scored the game winner about halfway through first period, and we secured the 2-0 victory when Declan Farmer scored an empty net goal late in the third period. We started out pretty slow, but after Adam's goal, we started playing Team USA style hockey and began to dominate the flow of the game until the final buzzer. On the second night, we came out flat and Team Canada came out for redemption after the previous night's shutout. Canada scored two goals in the first period, and Team USA was never able to put the puck in the net. After splitting the first two games, the rubber match was to be played the following afternoon. This would no doubt be another high-tempo, hard-hitting game between the two sled hockey powerhouses. Canada struck first just five minutes into the game, but Declan Farmer netted the equalizer just 2:30 later when he pulled the puck right to left and shot the puck, top shelf over the goalie's blocker! Then four minutes later, Josh Sweeney, who was named captain for the game, curled the puck, from basically behind the goal line, just under the Canadian goalie's sled for what would turn out to be the game winner. Team USA would win the series and end the final competition of the season before worlds on a very high note!
The resiliency to continuously perform at a high level, despite constant adversity, shows how much heart and dedication the guys on the team have. The fact that all of our guys show up in shape and are constantly improving proves how much work each player is putting in at home. At each tournament this season, we have had different guys stepping up to fill in for the missing pieces. Our team's ability to have a different guy step up each and every night exemplifies the depth and character our team has, and illustrates the unbelievable job our staff has done in picking and choosing players to be a part of the team. Their goal has always been to develop a team with 15 captains, and I think we are well on our way. The fact that we don't have to rely on one guy day-in and day-out, to carry the team is not only priceless, but scary…for the rest of the world. I can only imagine the high tempo and dynamic play of the team once everyone is all together and healthy. At that point, the only team that can stand in our way is our own! With failure not being an option, the thing we keep telling ourselves to stay motivated in the midst of all of the adversity is that, "Great teams find a way to win!" And these last two wins were two more key steps toward this season's ultimate goal of defending our world title!

|Dorothy Miller (1931-2016) was an analytical chemist at DuPont who became vocal against the company's acquisition of White Clay Creek land with the intent of building a dam. With concerns[...] that the existing water supply in Delaware would not be suffcicient for the expansion of two DuPont production plants in Wilmington, the White Clay Creek Dam, which would have flooded 1,160 acres, was slated to suplly 71 million gallons of water a day. After the dam's failure, Miller continued to be active in the community, working with environmental groups throughout Newark, Delaware on issues related to urban development and transportation infrastructure. The collection, which spans from 1965-2010, documents community efforts led by Miller to preserve the White Clay Creek Watershed and her further work on water resources, residential/commercial and transportation projects throughout Newark, Delaware.

Akon Signs Gospel Rapper Mali Music to Konvict Muzik
AllHipHop Staff
(AllHipHop News) Though Akon hasn't been present on the mic or released an album since his 2008 effort Freedom, the Senegalese-American artist/producer remains relevant behind the scenes as he adds gospel rapper Mail Music to his Konvict Muzik imprint.
"He's a mogul," Mali Music states, as he gives Konvict Muzik CEO Akon praise. "He's done so much and it's just a blessing that he was affected and impacted by the ministry and by the songs."
Already showing his success in scouting new talent, as he executively signed T-Pain and Lady Gaga, Akon will expand his reach with artists that create music for gospel, pop and R&B genres.
Mali Music's new upcoming album is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2012.

As we've covered previously on Open Ended, the newest version of the open source WordPress content management system is nearing its' release, and it has gathered quite a bit of anticipation around its' user base. New features such as a completely updated admin interface and many other small bits and pieces such as "sticky posts" (articles that "stick" to the top of a page, not being moved by articles with later publish dates) have made this a very anticpated upgrade.
As part of the publication process of this rather extensive update, Automattic, the parent company of WordPress, has upgraded their hosted blogging service, WordPress.com, to the new version. As for the standalone "WordPress.org" system, which allows users to run their own system on their server with PHP and a MySQL database, 2.7 is still on its' first release candidate.
Though there is still no official release date set on the WordPress Roadmap, developments like its' arrival on WordPress.com and hints being dropped at various presentations at many WordCamps around the world have led to the common belief that the new version will be released by the end of this year.
UPDATE (Dec. 11): WordPress 2.7, now dubbed "Coltrane", was officially released on December 10th. Very similar to the release candidate, 2.7 is now available as the latest stable version for both WordPress.com and the self-hosted "WordPress.org" version. Read the official development blog post >>

Sean4 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 202 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
I am an optometrist running a small firm in Glasgow, Scotland http://www.i2ioptometrists.co.uk. I also run a small online store http://www.pretavoir.co.uk selling Designer Sunglasses and Glasses online.
Through these two businesses we have sales channels (or as free gifts) for spray cleaners. Therefore, on a recent visit to a trade show I decided to import our own cleaners in bulk. I decided, rather than print our practice name i2ioptometrists.co.uk on the cleaners I would create a brand togive some added value to the item. Therefore I came up with the brand i-cleen or i-cleen! The http://www.i-cleen.com has been registered. We are to order two different styles of cleaner, firstly a pen style mini cleaner and secondly a spray/cloth combination pack. I have attached photographs of these below and dimensions. These items will, on occasions, be given away to browsers or to customers in our bricks and mortar store and online. At other times these items will be sold.
All spectacle wearers, sunglass wearers or anyone who uses a touchscreen or shiny monitor which attracts smudges and/or dust. There will be no target age group, from 8 to 108!
Pen style spray dimensions (printable) 15.6mm x 103mm
Aluminium spray dimensions (printable) 25mm x 84mm
I have attached an idea which I came up with myself which may give you some direction ie modern, funky but clean. Although I have used only a lettering I would also like ideas for a logo/icon.
I have also attached photographs of both items.
I quite like the look of red on the pen cleaner though think black is better for the aluminium spray ie black looks better on aluminium, however you may think differently.
