You can count me among the people who were surprised by the looks of the new 2015 Chevrolet Corvette. I expected a big power boost with some subtle aesthetic upgrades, like Z06s of the past, and that was about it. But no. We now have creases and bumps and spoilers galore. And that is just better.
It's weird to think of the "Z06" designation as merely an upgraded trim level, what with its enormous power boost and Super Shredder-esque styling. Somehow it seems like so much more. But then again, it's not even the furthest departure from a base model that the world has ever seen.
For that, I think you have to go with the true oddities of the motoring world, the mid-engined French hatchbacks. Most mid-engined cars are designed for that setup from the start, and are stretched long and lean with the cabin pushed to the front. Cars like the Renault Clio V6 are, well, the opposite of that. Without the ability to fit a V6 under the traditional hood, they just shove it where the back seats and trunk are supposed to be. It's ridiculous, it makes no sense, and it's a perfect example of what makes the automotive world great.
And all to think that these silly animals started out as a dinky little French hatch. It's pretty darn swell.
So what car do you think is the biggest departure from its base model? What cars have superseded the term "trim level?" Let us know in the comments below!

Woodstock has been many things: an artistic commune; a musical inspiration; a temple for chamber music; a visual feast. The name has been defined, dissected and debated. It's been through various eras, from Byrdcliffe to Maverick to the Cafe Espresso.
Woodstock has been many things: an artistic commune; a musical inspiration; a temple for chamber music; a visual feast. The name has been defined, dissected and debated. It's been through various eras, from Byrdcliffe to Maverick to the Cafe Espresso.
Welcome to the newest era in Woodstock: The Era of Cinema Paradiso.
The 13th Woodstock Film Festival opens Wednesday. With it comes about 130 films, 13 world premieres, panels, concerts and parties. The annual event has blossomed from a homespun, intimate gathering to a global phenomenon. You can count on the festival every fall. And now, in its 13th year, it has secured its role as linchpin for a new cultural movement in Woodstock.
Consider the progression. A filmmaker enters his production into the Woodstock Film Festival. It's accepted. The filmmaker visits Woodstock for the festival, lodging in a mountainside house, traversing the winding streets of the breezy Hudson Valley autumn. He falls in love. A few months later, and the filmmaker is calling the Hudson Valley Film Commission because he wants to shoot his next film here. The relationship furthers.
"Part of the growth of the film production industry in the Hudson Valley," says festival Executive Director Meira Blaustein, "is that the festival brings in people who come for the first time. It's a very important process."
The process seems to reap greater rewards each year. Now there's the Kerhonskon-based BCDF Pictures, which has produced "Why Stop Now," "Bachelorette" and "Liberal Arts" just in the last year. BCDF will contribute its newest film, "Rhymes With Banana," to the film festival.
"We arrived at the right moment right in the Valley," says Claude Dal Farra, principal of BCDF Pictures. "We transformed a big farm into a little studio, and we're connecting people in the region."
That begins early, too. The film festival started working years ago with Onteora High School, creating a career day during the festival that brings filmmakers and industry professionals to the school to chat with students.
This year the festival has carved out a Friday morning screening of "Once in a Lullaby," a film about New York City's talented P.S. 22 Chorus, for school-group viewing.
And the Teen Shorts series returns with films by students from, among other places, Florida, California and Woodstock.
Young filmmakers attending the festival will get to network with filmmakers and other professionals.
This is the pass-it-on philosophy that has bubbled underneath the creative Woodstock world; it's the mantra carried by local legends like Pete Seeger and the late Levon Helm.
It might be why the festival this year is honoring Jonathan Demme. It's easy to see why Demme is receiving this year's Honorary Maverick Award.
He directed "Philadelphia," "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Stop Making Sense," the iconic Talking Heads concert documentary that had film lovers shaking in a dance party at the first Woodstock Film Festival.
But this is Woodstock. Accolades are nothing if they're not backed by spirit.
"He's just a really nice guy," says Blaustein. "He's very giving to filmmakers. Young filmmakers will get a lot out of meeting him because he's a very generous filmmaker."
That's the bottom line. If you're at Woodstock, you're giving back, you're contributing and you're progressing the conversation. In your own way, you're continuing the Era of Cinema Paradiso.
"Going forward there's a lot to look forward to," says Blaustein.
"Not just us, for the film festival, but for the community at large."

SAN FRANCISCO, California, July 30, 2008 (ENS) - Three environmental groups and six states have won a court ruling that requires oceangoing freighters to get a permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency before they can discharge polluted ballast water in U.S. waters. The decision will affect all U.S. coastal waters, including those of the Great Lakes which have been the pathway for many invasive species such as the destructive zebra mussel.
The environmental groups Northwest Environmental Advocates, the Ocean Conservancy and Waterkeepers Northern California sued the federal agency, challenging a 1973 EPA regulation exempting certain marine discharges from the Clean Water Act.
The Great Lakes states of New York, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania joined the lawsuit as plaintiff-intervenors.
The groups and states claimed that the EPA for years has allowed billions of gallons of contaminated ballast water to be discharged annually despite evidence that these discharges were bringing many aquatic invasive species, such as the zebra mussel, into U.S. waters.
In the decision issued July 23, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's 2005 ruling that ships must comply with the Clean Water Act.
The district court concluded that the EPA had exceeded its authority under the Clean Water Act in exempting these ballast water discharges from permitting requirements. The appeals court agreed.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said the court's ruling will reduce pollution in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, protecting the ecosystems across upstate New York and ensuring that commercial and recreational fishing are not harmed.
"Today's decision is a huge win in protecting New York state's Great Lakes from invasive species and pollution that for too long have threatened our local ecosystems, economies and our health," said Cuomo. "Preserving Lake Erie and Lake Ontario for years to come is vital to our quality of life, our economic growth and our environment."
As of September 30, 2008, ships will no longer be able to discharge pollutant-containing ballast water without a permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In mid-June, the EPA issued a draft permit to regulate all vessel discharges, which requires treatment of a wide range of pollutants contained in ballast water and other types of ship discharges.
This case started in 1999 when the plaintiff groups, among others, filed a petition requesting the EPA to repeal its exemption because it conflicts with the Clean Water Act. The EPA denied the petition in 2003, which triggered a series legal actions that led eventually to this ruling.
"EPA spent nearly 10 years fighting against using the nation's only comprehensive law to combat an environmental plague that is costing the U.S. economy billions of dollars," said Debbie Sivas, director of the Stanford Law School Environmental Law Clinic, which represented the three plaintiff groups. "We are gratified that the Appeals Court has held the EPA accountable so that this country can begin to control the dangerous tide of invasive species."
Nina Bell, executive director of Northwest Environmental Advocates, based in Portland, Oregon, said the court's decision will properly shift some of the burden of invasive species from taxpayers to shippers.
"The Ninth Circuit's decision is very important for the taxpayers who have been paying the huge price of EPA's continuing refusal to implement the Clean Water Act," said Bell. "If EPA had used its Congressional mandate 30 years ago, this country would have been using the Clean Water Act to effectively control ship discharges for all that time."
Ballast water discharges occur when a vessel is moved from one body of water to another and the water the ship carries with it for balance is released. When these releases are untreated, they can contain transported invasive species that disrupt the natural ecosystem in the second body of water.
The amount of ballast water discharged in U.S. waters exceeds 21 billion gallons each year. Carried in this water are plants, animals, bacteria, and pathogens, from microscopic creatures to large plants and free-swimming fish.
Untreated vessel ballast discharges have resulted in the introduction of more than 180 aquatic invasive species into the Great Lakes, and have similarly affected other U.S. waters. Billions of dollars in damage to fisheries, recreation, and public infrastructure is directly attributed to aquatic invasive species.
The zebra mussel, introduced into a small area of the Great Lakes in the late 1980s, has propagated into all five Great Lakes and many other North American waterways, reaching densities of up to one million per square yard and causing costly damage to water and power plants by clogging intake pipes.
Invasive viruses and toxins, such as viral hemorrhagic septicemia and Type E botulism, have been implicated in recent large-scale fish and bird die-offs.
Some native species, like unionid clams in the western basin of Lake Erie, are nearly extinct. Small organisms at the base of the food web also have been severely affected.
The devastating effect of invasive species has had direct human implications, Cuomo said.
A 2001 EPA report indicated that a strain of cholera that killed 10,000 people in Latin America in 1991 was introduced by the bilge water of a Chinese freighter. The strain then came to the U.S. in the ballast tanks of ships from Latin America, but was detected in oyster and finfish samples in the Alabama port where the ships anchored.
The Department of Agriculture spends millions of dollars each year to combat invasive species. A study by the General Accountability Office, the investigative arm of the U.S. Congress, estimated that annual economic losses and costs related to invasive species totals $137 billion - more than double the annual economic damage caused by all natural disasters in the United States.
The decision focuses on the need to regulate ballast water discharges from large oceangoing cargo ships, and gives the EPA broad flexibility and discretion with respect to discharges from other types of boats.
In order to further clarify that the Clean Water Act does not require the regulation of small recreational boats, the U.S. House and Senate last week passed legislation that would exempt these boaters from Clean Water Act regulation of discharges incidental to the normal operation of their vessels.
The plaintiff groups cautioned that the shipping industry has shifted its fight from the courts to lobbying Congress. Bell said, "As soon as we won the district court case in 2005, the shipping industry immediately turned to Congress for a special exemption from the Clean Water Act, to preserve their ability to pollute at the nation's expense."

Notice I didn't say 'trainer', because that normally implies infinite time / infinite ammo / infinite fuel / infinite lives.
I loved the idea of Armour-Geddon, but the ST version seemed to me to be stupidly hard to play because of a constant severe shortage of... something, possibly fuel for the aircraft. I think the rate of fuel use was so high that you had barely any time in the air, or something like that.
Whatever it was, it made the game annoyingly rock hard and I remember having an ambition to create my own version with the right rate of fuel use, ammo, etc, to make the game pleasantly challenging but not ultra-impossible as it seemed to be 'out of the box'. Of course I never did, and I have now forgotten 98% of my ST coding knowledge.
Did anyone beat me to it?

New York, December 15, 2011--Today's murder of Gadzhimurad Kamalov, founder of the independent newspaper Chernovik in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan today is a lethal blow to press freedom, said the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"The assassination of Gadzhimurad Kamalov is a massive loss for independent journalism in the North Caucasus, Russia's most dangerous place for reporters," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "Russian authorities must immediately, thoroughly, and effectively investigate this terrible crime and bring Kamalov's killers to justice."
Kamalov was exiting Chernovik's offices at around midnight local time when a masked gunman, apparently waiting outside the building, riddled him with bullets, then escaped the scene in a getaway Lada sedan, driven by an accomplice, a Chernovik staffer who witnessed the murder told CPJ. Journalists at Chernovik, known for its independent reporting on corruption in the local administration, have been routinely persecuted for their work, CPJ research shows. In 2010, then-editor Nadira Isayeva was honored with CPJ's International Press Freedom Award.

By Ajai Shukla
Business Standard, 26th Sept 16
In a nuanced and careful speech on Saturday that had components of both pragmatism and jingoism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi skilfully created a narrative for deflecting war hysteria in India, redefining the burgeoning confrontation with Pakistan in terms of a Lagaan-style contest for eliminating poverty, illiteracy and deprivation in the two countries.
In Lagaan, a Hindi-language, Oscar-nominated 2001 motion picture, a land tax dispute between pre-independence British administrators and residents of a small, central Indian village was settled through a cricket match between the two sides (the Indians won!). On Saturday, with an inflamed India looking to Mr Modi for his first statement after Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba jihadis killed 18 Indian soldiers in Uri, Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) Mr Modi appropriated former Pakistani premier Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's threat of a 1,000-year war with India, challenging Pakistan to a 1000-year war to whittle away poverty, illiteracy and child mortality.
Mr Modi's speech, delivered to a Bharatiya Janata Party gathering in Kozhikode, was a masterly balancing act. With the national temper at fever-pitch after Uri and the media resounding with anti-Pakistan warmongering --- such as BJP leader Ram Madhav's threat to extract a jaw for every tooth --- Mr Modi had to placate public anger in India, while simultaneously defusing a situation that could only escalate if India extracted vengeance through cross-border military strikes on terrorist infrastructure or the Pakistani Army (numerous Indian commentators see little difference between the two). As it turned out, Mr Modi delivered a carefully crafted message that favoured peace, while delivering enough tough talk to placate Indian anger.
Mr Modi led, as expected, with a frontal attack on Pakistan for being the global leader in exporting terrorism. He followed up by apparently repeating, but actually toning down the promise of retaliation he had delivered just after the Uri attack. On that day he had tweeted: "I assure the nation that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished", raising widespread expectations of retaliatory military action. On Saturday, he thundered: "The sacrifice of our 18 soldiers will not be forgotten. We will ensure that the international community works to isolate you." This suggested that working to make Pakistan an international pariah would be sufficient retribution. For those in Pakistan who carefully parse the New Delhi tealeaves, the juxtaposition of cause and effect was significant, "the sacrifice of 18 soldiers" being the cause; and "the isolation of Pakistan" being the effect. Nor did the PM mention or endorse his military's earlier threat to retaliate at "a time and place of [its] own choosing".
Mr Modi's layered messaging will take time to be clearly understood within Pakistan. Given the prevailing climate of confrontation, even the moderate English-language media in Pakistan interpreted the speech in the light of the threats it contains, not the outreach. The headlines in Daily Times say: "Modi vows campaign to 'isolate' Pakistan". Dawn headlined: "Modi says India will work to 'isolate' Pakistan internationally". Only the relatively sophisticated Express Tribune headlined its coverage: "India backs off after frenzied war rhetoric". Pakistani audiences would also be keenly attuned to Mr Modi's taunts about unrest in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), Gilgit-Baltistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan, so not much can be expected in terms of immediate win-over. Only when the dust settles on the current confrontation will the Pakistani media and the populace take note of the Indian PM's ground breaking outreach. Towards that day, Mr Modi differentiated between Pakistan's leaders and the people of that country; a radical departure from New Delhi's customary lumping together of Pakistan's political class, the public and even its terrorists. But the most important component of Mr Modi's speech was to de-escalate current tensions. Policy analysts in Rawalpindi (Pakistan Army headquarters) will immediately note that the battle Mr Modi is talking up is not military, but a long-term developmental campaign relating to the uplift of the masses.
When Mr Modi borrowed the inspiring phraseology of one of his predecessors, Atal Behari Vajpayee, about dealing with Kashmir in the ambit of "insaaniyat, jamhooriyat aur Kashmiriyat" (humanism, democracy and Kashmir's syncretic culture), it carried little conviction, making Mr Modi seem like a peacock in borrowed feathers. But his rousing call from Kozhikode --- "I want to tell the people of Pakistan. We are ready to fight you, if you have the courage. Come, we'll fight poverty in our country and you fight in yours. Let's see who eradicates poverty first" --- could become his signature initiative in India-Pakistan relations.
This depends on whether and how Mr Modi instrumentalises this rhetoric to resurrect India-Pakistan relations, which are currently in the deepest freeze since the 26/11 Mumbai strikes. Sceptics are already declaring that the Pakistani deep state --- the military-bureaucratic syndicate that call the shots in that country --- does not particularly care about development. That, however, is an outdated argument. With Washington's funding to Islamabad becoming increasingly conditional and New Big Brother China far less munificent than Uncle Sam, the Pakistani establishment recognises fully that a sickly and under-developed economy can no longer afford a military that is capable of warding off India.
As the contours of Mr Modi's new direction come more clearly into view, he will face flak from opposition parties for back-tracking on his strident campaign rhetoric about how toughly he would handle Pakistan, and about what a strong PM he would be in contrast to Manmohan Singh. The Congress Party will heckle him for citing India in his speech as a globally-respected, well-developed state that "exports software to the world while [Pakistan's] leaders export terrorism"; with this modern India presumably having been built during the "60 years of Congress misrule" that Mr Modi routinely slams. Even so, the PM has done well to de-escalate the current crisis. It makes little sense to confront Pakistan, for benefits that are not readily apparent, only because of a hard line taken earlier.
Anti-Modi sceptics are already voicing fear that domestic politics might induce the PM to balance his conciliation of Pakistan by doubling down on domestic intolerance and galvanising campaigns like the beef ban and love jihad, perceived as anti-Muslim. It is incumbent on Modi to alleviate these fears. Finally, Pakistan can be managed only up to a point; beyond that remains in the hands of that country's unpredictable leaders. What Mr Modi does have full control over is his management of Kashmir and the initiating of a calibrated, all-of-government campaign to defuse tensions and address long-standing problems in that state. That would not just solve a major internal problem for New Delhi, but snatch away from Pakistan its most potent instrument for meddling in India.

I have the following problem with dgges. For version 3.1.1 and sooner, I get a reasonable result, for version 3.2 and 3.2.1 I get info=n+2.
I am separating eigenvalues in the unit circle from one outside the unique circle.
The two D and E matrices have relatively well separated null spaces, the minimum angle is acos(0.97). However, if i calculate condition numbers of E-lambda*D of lambda=[-1:0.01:1], they are quite bad.
The matrices are attached with a small c++ program which calls dgges and sorts eigenvalues for a better comparison. There is also a Makefile, which links with different version of lapack.
I use the reference blas.
My question is if it is a bug in Lapack introduced between 3.2. and 3.1.1 or the matrix is just very bad and in version 3.1.1 I was just lucky to get a reasonable solution.
Many thanks for any help.

In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point -- he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.
As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.
This False Prince is about a boy named Sage who lives at an orphanage who one day is bought by a noble man named Conner. He picks up 3 other boys. His intentions for them aren't good, they are even at the brink of treson! He wants one of them to play the role of the lost prince, Jaron who supposedly died 4 years ago by pirates. Supposedly (*Hint, hint!*). All he tells Conner is "I am your Prince." and nothing else. Even if he loses all he will say is "I am you prince.".
I love it cause it's really epic! And it's violent! Most of what I love is a spoiler, but trust me, it's amazing. It's probably my favorite book ever!
My favorite character is Sage (Or is it? *hint Hint!*) He's stubborn (like myself) awesome (like myself:) He's like me in guy form! THAT MAKES HIM AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
After I got done reading, I couldn't stop talking about it. I kept trying to tell everyone how amazing it is. So now my friend Joy (she writes for us sometimes) is going to read it too. And my brother.
If you like fantasy and adventure and excitement, or if you have a kid, or know a kid, or like kids, or don't like kids and wish they'd shut up and read, you should buy this book!!
It's too good for just 5 crowns

The Trump budget request raises military spending significantly to $686 billion in 2019, with $617 billion for the base budget and $69 billion for the overseas war-fighting account. (With $30 billion in "other" defense spending, including the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons program, the national security total comes to $716 billion.)
This is roughly in line with the levels defined by the budget deal lawmakers agreed to last week, so it's a good bet that the final appropriations for 2019 will be in the $700 billion range, an enormous boost by any measure.
At the same time, though, defense hawks are warning that the extra money will get the military only back to where it should have been after years of reduced funding imposed by the budget caps since 2011.
In a briefing on Monday, David Norquist, the Pentagon's CFO and comptroller, said, "It is a sign of how deep the hole is that we are in that it takes this big of an increase just to get the department's budget back to where inflation alone would have put us."
This chart from the Pentagon's 2019 budget request illustrates the issue:
As the budget restrictions imposed by the budget caps come to an end, much of the increase in the budget will be spent on deferred maintenance and training to rebuild capacities that have been lost or weakened, leaving little left over for the big military buildup President Trump has said he wants.
For example, the budget increase will enable the Navy to buy one more ship than planned in 2019, but that still leaves the fleet far short of the 355 ships promised by the White House, according to Defense News. The fleet will hit 308 ships in 2020, one year ahead of the target set previously by President Obama, but with military spending projected to level off, it will take decades to reach 355 ships. According to Rear Adm. Brian Luther, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for budget, the Navy won't hit that target until the 2050s.

Review: Cycling '74 Max 5 (Mac/Win)
Fig. 1: This is an example of a simple monophonic synth patch. In Max, Objects are wired together like this to produce any multimedia configuration you can imagine.
Cycling '74 Max has been around in some form for 20 years, and over that time it has become a particularly important and widely used tool for electronic musicians, especially those who are more experimentally inclined. Max was first commercially available in 1990. MSP, the audio-processing component, was added in the late 1990s, and a suite of video Objects called Jitter was added in 2003. (The previous major upgrade, Max 4.0/MSP 2.0, was reviewed in the April 2002 issue, available at emusician.com.)
In working with Max, you create programs (called patches) in a Patcher window by choosing from a huge library of Max, MSP, and Jitter Objects and then hooking them together with patch cords. Typically, you hook the outlet of one Object to the inlet of another. The patches you produce might be software synthesizers, audio or MIDI processors, algorithmic-music machines, interactive controls, animations that respond to music, music that responds to live video input, or any other multimedia project you can dream up. Your patches could be simple utilities that you create in a short time or complex programs that take months to design. Fig. 1 shows a simple example of a patch: a monophonic synthesizer that you play with an onscreen keyboard.
Max 5 makes very few changes in the Objects themselves — for the most part, you still have the same massive collection of more than 600 (see the online bonus material "Object Oriented" at emusician.com for a list of some new and enhanced Objects). The improvements in Max 5 come in the documentation and the user interface.
What's Up, Docs?
Previous versions of Max offered contextual help: you right-clicked on an Object to get a help document that summarized the features of that Object. One of the coolest aspects of the contextual help system was that the help page was a working version of an example patch, not just a graphic diagram of an example. So while reading the information, you could also experiment with the working example, and even copy all or part of it to your own patch for reuse.
In previous versions, there was also a more detailed reference manual, but you had to open that document separately to search for the information you wanted. In Max 5, there is now a link from the shorter contextual help page to the larger and more complete reference manual page for a particular Object. In fact, in Max 5, all of the documents are linked together, making it much easier to navigate through this extensive collection of online reference materials. A comprehensive Search feature also lets you look throughout the documents for any keywords.
When you place the mouse over an Object's inlet or outlet, a large balloon with a big arrow appears, describing what that inlet or outlet is used for. (The previous version showed a small and much-harder-to-read notation in the lower left of the screen.) There is also a new floating Clue window that gives a brief but helpful description of any Object the mouse moves over (see Fig. 2). With these improvements in the documentation, now you can spend most of your time building patches and less time figuring out how to do that.
Interface Enhancements
Many features of the user interface have been improved. I'll cover the ones that seem the most significant.
Presentation mode
In previous versions of Max, it was possible to create a front panel for your patches that showed only the Objects that were essential to operation (for instance, the knobs, displays, and other controls that the user changes and views in operating the patch) while hiding the underlying circuitry from view. But it was a little unwieldy to do this. Max 5 has improved greatly in this area with the addition of a Presentation mode that lets you effortlessly create an attractive and uncluttered front panel for your patch.
Patcher palette
Most Objects in Max perform simple functions (such as adding two numbers together), and these Objects are created simply by typing the name of the Object into a blank Object box. Max 5 has added a handy Auto-completion feature to simplify the process as you type. There are also User Interface (UI) Objects such as buttons, LEDs, level meters, number displays, and many others. In previous versions, the UI Objects were in a toolbar at the top of the screen. Now they appear in a nicely organized floating palette that is created any time you double-click in the Patcher window (see Fig. 3). The new Patcher palette is organized by Object type, the icons are larger and easier to identify, and you can add your own customized Objects (called Prototypes). Work is also speedier in Max 5 because there are new shortcut keys to quickly create the most common Objects.
Max handles polyphony with an Object called poly~. In Max 5, poly~ can take advantage of multiple processors to allow faster processing time.
There are many other changes, including Multiple Undo; a Zoom feature; the ability to maintain multiple views of your patch; a Grid and a Snap To Grid option that makes it easier to create tidy and clear patches; and a more uniform and powerful Inspector window that improves consistency when customizing the appearance and functionality of Objects. A new File Browser makes it much easier to keep track of the many files you'll be producing with Max.
On Time
Other new additions worth mentioning relate to timing increments and tempo. In previous versions of Max, time was referenced in milliseconds. But in Max 5, you can also work with traditional musical time values using ticks (1/480 of a quarter note) or note values (such as 1n for a whole note, 4n for a quarter note, 16n for a 16th note, 4nt for a quarter triplet, and so on). You can also use a bar:beat:tick notation (bar 1, beat 1, tick 240 would be notated 1:1:240). A new Transport Object and a Global Transport window let you start, stop, and pause the music, change tempo, and otherwise control the flow of sound in your patch.
The changes in Max 5 don't alter the program in a substantive way, but they do make it significantly easier to learn and use the program, organize and customize patches and Objects, and share or collaborate with others. There are many large changes and countless small ones, all of which are welcome. Your patches will be clearer and better-looking, and you'll have a much easier and funner time building applications that do what you want them to do (see the online bonus material "A Max Example" for a patch I created in version 5). I strongly recommend the upgrade (starting at $129) for existing Max users. And for anyone considering a modular toolkit of this sort, be sure to download the Max 5 demo and give it a try.

PROS: Much-improved user interface and documentation. Huge collection of Objects. Unlimited potential for creating multimedia interactive tools.
CONS: A program of this nature takes some effort to master.

Here's something for that Pulitzer application -- Kim Kardashian may have herpes. Oh yes, upon Kim's return to the States after a whirlwind tour of the Middle East, she was photographed makeup free at the Miami airport with a big old cold sore on her lip. Now, I know what you're thinking, you herpes expert, you: The cold-sore herp is different from the genital herp. We know. We get it. But still. You have to wonder (or not; or not wonder or care at all) if Kim gave Kris Humphries herpes and that's why they can't come to a divorce agreement. Does he want restitution for the virus?
Lest you think this is the most far-fetched thing you've ever heard, I'll remind you that Kris was actually sued by a sex-partner in 2010 for giving her herpes ... and, you guessed it, 2010 was when Kris started seeing Kim.
So, allegedly Kris has the STD, and the timing is close enough to make it possible that he got it from Kim. Joy.
In case you're wondering where Kanye West comes into play, some tabloids are using Kim's cold sore as proof that Kanye was the one to infect her, letting Kris totally off the hook.
But for all we know, it could just be a cut or a scratch or an unfortunate line of zits above Kim's upper lip. That said, where there's herpes, Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries, Kanye West, and legal proceedings to be speculated upon, ears across the globe perk up.
To be honest, I sincerely hope no one has herpes. However, I guess I wouldn't mind if Kris Jenner was able to spin this 'derp disaster into a PR initiative that makes everyone feel sorry for Kim. I'd enjoy seeing that sort of black magic at work. It's so fun yet so unnerving.
Oh, and if we could get a Lifetime movie out of this, even better. Herpes Hell: The Story of Kim, Kris, and Kanye.
What do you think of all this?

Fujitsu follows Seagate with svelte 6Gbps SAS drive
Sealed cannister love
Solidifying the appeal of enterprise small form factor (SFF) SAS hard disk drives, Fujitsu is launching 10K and 15K rpm products, both with the 6Gbit/s SAS-II interface, twice as fast as 3Gbit/s SAS-I.
Seagate was first into the fast higher capacity SFF drive space with its 10K.3 and 15K.2 Savvio drives, and the Fujitsu drives follow the same overall spec. The MBD2 is a 10,000rpm drive with a maximum capacity of 300GB, just like the Savvio 10K.3 and will be available in the first quarter of next year. The MBE2 is a 15K rpm drive with up to 147GB capacity, pipping Seagate's Savvio 15K.2 by 1GB, and it will arrive in Q2 next year.
Neither Fujitsu drive has an encryption option which the Savvio drives offer. Like Seagate, Fujitsu flies the 'increased IOPS from a disk shelf' kite compared to 3.5-inch drives in the same rack space, and it similarly blows the low power trumpet.
One thing that comes to mind with 2.5-inch drives is that, because there will be more of them in a rack, disk failures will occur more often. This will strengthen the case (ahem) for putting them in sealed units which are self-managing concerning disk failures. So far, Xiotech and Atrato use sealed canisters of drives with Xiotech's ISE leading the way.
It has been suggested that customers love sealed drive canisters because they don't have to be serviced during their five year life, cutting customer's service bills. Storage array vendors hate sealed drive canisters because they don't have to be serviced during their five year life, cutting customer's service bills, meaning lower service revenues for the array vendors. On this interpretation, they prefer to ship drives that break to customers instead of sealed canisters and software that works around failed drives. It will be very interesting to look at Xiotech's revenues and see what the customer takeup of its ISEs is turning out to be. ®

WE IRANIANS ARE a cynical, paranoid lot. Conspiracies are something of a sport for us. Whether it is the price of wheat or the threat of war, Iranians know nothing is exactly as it seems.
You can't blame us; we've had our share of foreign meddling. Iran's first attempt at democracy, which started in 1905, ended after troops commanded by Russian officers shelled the building in which the parliament was sitting; a second attempt, in 1953, was crushed by a CIA coup that reinstalled the country's dictator, Muhammad Reza Shah. Iran's third attempt at democracy, in 1979, was hijacked by the country's own religious establishment, but only after Saddam Hussein launched a surprise attack a few months after the Shah was ousted.
But ask most Iranians who was responsible for thwarting the revolution of 1979 and they will point the finger not at Saddam Hussein or Ayatollah Khomeini, but at the United States. They have a point. After all, the U.S. encouraged Saddam to attack Iran, giving him satellite imagery and military intelligence. (Remember the famous photo of a smiling Saddam greeting Reagan administration special envoy Donald Rumsfeld?)
The U.S. government's intention then was to curb the spread of Iran's revolution, but it had the more disastrous effect of curbing its evolution. As happens in wartime, all the vibrant discussions in post-revolutionary Iran about how to build a new country came to an abrupt end the moment Saddam invaded. In the name of national security, power became centralized in the hands of the religious establishment. By the time that war came to an end eight years later, the dream that had spurred the revolution had given way to the reality of an authoritarian state plagued by gross ineptitude.

Aarre R.Estate Mgmt. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 406 diseños de 86 diseñadores freelance.
Aarre Isännöinti (Aarre Real Estate management)
We are looking for a new logo for our young real estate management company, which is based in Helsinki, Finland. The logo will be used on business stationary / promotional materials / vehicles and also for the large company signs so it must be completely portable, and usable in black & white / reversed out.
Our aspiration is to grow to be the largest real estate management company in Finland. We specialize in managing apartment buildings only and do not manage commercial real estate such as shopping malls.
If we really, really like the winning logo design, we will also ask the winner to produce a small corporate identity package (ID card, business card, letterhead, envelope, PowerPoint template etc.) for an additional fee if he/she is interested.
1 star - Wrong direction, start over with something completely different.
2 star - We like some elements.
3 star - Getting closer but need revisions or a different take on your design.
4 star - Design is being considered as is.
5 star - Made the final cut!
The logo MUST work in vector and black & white as well.
1. EPS version of the logo (for signs, business cards, stickers etc.)
2. Full-color high res version of logo (for the website)
3. A black and white version of logo (for stationary)
4. Color specs. The exact colors you used to build the logo
Private real estate owners in Finland.
No new entries please. Only entries with 4 or 5 stars can be revised. Thank you!
Key Emotions: Fresh, contemporary, professional, simple
Our colors are white and blue. An additional highlight color or two can be used
Complex and intricate designs should be avoided. Simplicity is key. Think 'nordic minimalism'
Clear white background
Modern style logo and font
The logo should consist of three components: the logo itself, the word Aarre and the word Isännöinti
The logo should be based either on a star or the letter A or letters AI
The logo needs to be clean and visually striking
The logo should be in the form of a graphic and have the Aarre –name separately. Just the logo should be able to be used by itself (like Nike Swoosh, Mercedes star)
Please make 'Aarre' stand out more than 'Isännöinti'. 'Aarre' should be on top of the word Isännöinti. The word 'isännöinti' should be in a box below the word 'Aarre'
The Aarre –font should be clear and precise
This is a young and growing company so the logo needs to convey professionalism and personal service. We fully appreciate that it will be virtually impossible to convey everything in one logo but we are open to all ideas
Avoid cliché "house" or "building" themes. Use a star or the letter(s) A/AI instead
No generic clipart
Too busy / crowded designs
Do not use of reflections
Must not be childish

Hunter among Tigers proud to honor Jackie
DETROIT -- After a one-night delay for what right fielder Torii Hunter called a "snow day," Hunter and the Tigers will honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson on Wednesday night against the Indians.
Tuesday's game was postponed to a date not yet determined because of frigid temperatures and a couple of inches of snow that blanketed metro Detroit. By mid-day Wednesday, the snow had vanished, the sun was out and Robinson's retired No. 42 jersey had been placed in all the lockers belonging to Detroit personnel.
"Jackie Robinson was one of the strongest men in America," Hunter said Wednesday. "He helped change mindsets. … He's a very special person. It's a great day for us and for baseball yesterday."
The anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier as a member of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers fell on Tuesday. Three other Tuesday celebrations -- in Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia -- were also pushed back to Wednesday due to inclement weather.
The Tigers' lineup for Wednesday night includes an all-African-American outfield (Hunter in right, Rajai Davis in left and Austin Jackson in center) -- something that Davis noted has become quite rare in today's game.
"You don't find that on too many teams. We, I suppose, are one of the few that have that." Davis said Wednesday. "I guess it makes it that much more special."
According to a USA TODAY survey of Opening Day rosters, African-Americans comprise just 7.8 percent of MLB teams, down from the period between 1972 and 1996 when the figure was more than double that. Even so, the focus Wednesday was on the strides that have been taken in the 67 years since Robinson integrated the game.
"If it wasn't for the pioneers, like the one who started it, where would guys like me be?" Davis said. "Just the fact that we remember those who paved the way says a lot about Major League Baseball."
The Tigers held the 18th annual Jackie Robinson Art, Essay and Poetry contest, encouraging students to submit an original work of art, essay or poem that honors Robinson and his legacy. This year's winners are Amanda Auten (Britten Deerfield School) and Jawan Davis (Denby High School) for art; Ryan Chatterjee (Reuther Middle School) and Joel Tedone (Riverview Community High School) for essays; and Annie Gibbs (Reuther Middle School) and Olivia Upham (Oxford High School) in the poetry category.
The students will be honored along with Jackie Robinson Foundation Alumni and Scholars from the University of Michigan later in the season.

Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) brought their goofy humor to this feature film iteration of the popular TV series that was buoyed by some terrific comedic performances from Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. For their next project, Lord and Miller have been hard at work on a feature-length LEGO movie. Though plot details are scarce, we know that the film will incorporate some of the most popular LEGO characters while introducing some new ones, and it centers on a young hero who must save the LEGO world from destruction.
Warner Bros. announced today that they have set the film for a February 28th, 2014 release and they have confirmed that it will be in 3D. Hit the jump for more, including what competition the pic will face on that date.
Lord and Miller previously talked to Steve about the film early last month, confirming that they were getting ready to start casting (about 20% of the film will be live-action) and revealing that there will be some IP LEGO characters popping up in the film (ie. LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Star Wars, etc.). The two also revealed that the film takes place in an immersive all-LEGO environment, "to the point where if there's water or clouds or like a big explosion, that will be made out of animated LEGOs."
Though it was pretty much a given that the film would be in 3D since it's computer-animated, I actually think this environment that Lord and Miller are creating could lend itself to a great 3D experience. They described their approach as "super charged stop-motion, something like if Michael Bay kidnapped Henry Selick to make a movie for him," so expect some fantastic 3D LEGO action in February of 2014.
Speaking of the release date, the only other film currently slated for February is the sequel Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers. Lord and Miller are only serving as producers on the Cloudy sequel, but if these two films live up to the quality of 21 Jump Street and the first Cloudy, we're in for a very fun February. Read the full press release below.
BURBANK, CA, April 23, 2012 — The first-ever full length, theatrical LEGO® movie will open nationwide on February 28, 2014, it was announced today by Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Currently in production, the 3D computer animated adventure will be directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller from their original screenplay, story by Dan Hageman & Kevin Hageman and Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, based on LEGO Construction Toys. It will incorporate some of the LEGO world's most popular figures while introducing several new characters, inviting fans who have enjoyed the brand's innovative toys and hugely popular video games for generations to experience their visually unique LEGO world as never seen before.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller previously teamed on the hit "21 Jump Street" and the 2009 animated comedy adventure "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," which was nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
The film will be produced by Dan Lin ("Sherlock Holmes," "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows") and Roy Lee ("The Departed," "How to Train Your Dragon").

Continued from Couples Tower Isle – What We Loved
After our recent trip to the Couples Tower Isle resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, we now have a better understanding of their all-inclusive, couples only, boutique resort concept. As part of an informational press trip, we also gained an appreciation for Tower Isle's love for Jamaica.
Had we simply been guests, though, I'm not sure this last part would have been so clear.
If only it was in our power, we'd change a few things at Tower Isle to help guests feel even more relaxed and connected to Jamaica.

The reunion now feels complete as Melissa McCarthy is returning for Netflix's "Gilmore Girls" revival.
"The Boss" star, who played Lorelai's (Lauren Graham) beloved chef BFF Sookie St. James throughout all seven seasons of the WB series, will in fact reprise the role in highly anticipated four-episode revival. There are no details yet on how big of a part McCarthy will have in the revival. (Netflix and Warner Bros. have yet to respond to requests for comment.)
TVLine first reported the news of McCarthy's return, which has generated a lot of headlines as the "Ghostbusters" star took to Twitter to say she was never asked to return after creator Amy Sherman-Palladino stated in an interview she approached McCarthy's team.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
In Entertainment Weekly's cover story, Palladino sounded off on the situation, telling the mag, "There's nothing malicious going on. We've just put it out into the universe; we're here until May 10. I know what the scene is. I'll pre-light it for her. She can drive up, run in, shoot it, and run out. I can get her in and out in two hours."
After it was reported she wouldn't be returning for the revival, McCarthy exclusively broke her silence about her absence to E! News' Marc Malkin, telling him, "I didn't actually get asked to do it. But I think they thought I was busy, and then by the time it did come up, then I actually was. I'm actually thrilled that it's happening. I loved that show, and I think the fans for that show are super loyal and great and I will watch every single one of them."
The "Spy" star revealed she would be returning on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Friday. "Literally, about an hour and a half ago, we figured out that I'm going to go and do it, and I'm so excited," McCarthy said told DeGeneres. "[Series creator] Amy Sherman-Palladino is gonna squeeze me in to do it."
McCarthy's participation basically completes Stars Hollows' town reunion, as the returning cast includes Graham, Alexis Bledel, Scott Patterson, Yanic Truesdale, Matt Czuchry, Jared Padalecki, Kelly Bishop, Milo Ventimiglia, Liza Weil, Liz Torres, Jackson Douglas, Sally Struthers, Michael Winters, Emily Kuroda, Vanessa Marano, Danny Strong, David Sutcliffe, Keiko Agena, and Sean Gunn.
The revival, which still has no official title or release date, will consist of four 90-minute episodes each named after a season. It will be set in present day, eight years after the series finale, and will cover one whole year in the lives of Rory, Lorelai, and their fellow Stars Hollow inhabitants.

Well, I was a little hesitant to do this at first, but then I just thought "Oh, why not?". So, here I am posting my little thoughts put into words. In other words, fan fiction. I have very few, and they are okay (amateur writer. Really amazed that I somehow managed to get over seventy follows on a story. ), but I find that I myself wouldn't read them, so, heh...
Anyways, I am doing this in three posts, because I am using my iPod, and stuff get's troublesome. Here:
Death, and All Things Impossible:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12304257/1/Death-and-All-Things-Impossible This one is my favorite of the stories I'm writing.
I can post on here when I get a next chapter to it up if people like.

Field Guide: Dole Cannery Complex
You may think of Dole only for its history or the theaters, but there's so much more.
(page 1 of 2)
Education Works
If you've had time to kill before your movie started, you might have stumbled into Education Works. "This store isn't just for teachers," notes Matt Cohen, the general manager and marketing director. Although many DOE teachers do head to the store for teaching materials, Education Works also offers craft supplies for DIY projects, games, children's furniture and special education materials. "Everything in the store is child-safe and nontoxic." The store also is a supplier of school uniforms to 35 schools on Oahu and the Big Island. 735 Iwilei Road, Suite 330, 237-5350.
Mesh is the extension of Shari Saiki's work as an interior designer, and boasts furniture, lamps, table settings, candles and other home decor. "There's something for everybody," says co-owner Bryan Kitashima, and husband to Saiki. The two travel abroad and to the Mainland in pursuit of one-of-a-kind items and new design trends. The store changes its displays every three months so there's always something fresh to find. You wouldn't know it, but the space used to be the unloading area of Dole. 650 Iwilei Road, Suite 110, 536-6374.
Licious Dishes
What started off as a lifestyle change for Sylvia Thompson after her husband had a heart attack has turned into a prosperous business. Thompson is the chef and owner of Licious Dishes, a vegan and raw takeout eatery. All foods—the fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds—aren't cooked more than 115 degrees. "It's so tasty, it leaves the natural flavors intact," she says. In addition to ready-to-go items, she prepares a week's worth of food for customers to pick up on Friday and also sells at the Blaisdell and KCC farmer's markets. The dishes include spicy almond Thai wraps, Kung Pao vegetables, salads, lasagna, soup and more. 650 Iwilei Road, Suite 170, 536-9680.
If you want to learn how to play Yu-Gi-Oh!, add to your Kidrobot vinyl toy collection or acquire those hard-to-find Pokemon cards, then Toylynx is the place to go. Co-owner Tony Yamada's business was originally Web orders only, but, because of his strong local customer base, decided to set up shop. "We cater to otaku—hard-core fans," says Yamada (in photo above). However, employees offer one-on-one workshops to teach kids and adults how to play gaming cards. Every Saturday Toylynx also hosts gaming tournaments, complete with prizes up to $300 and snacks. "Cards are a great learning tool; you learn about art, spelling, math and problem solving," he says, adding that more than 100 kids participate each time. 650 Iwilei Road, Suite 120, 536-9680.

As a color consultant, one question I seem to get asked over and over is "should I paint this wall or ceiling color?" It seems like a lot of the homes I have been in recently have odd angles and sloped ceilings. I am not talking about a slightly sloped ceiling like in this room below where it is still easy to identify wall from ceiling.
I'm referring to a deep angled ceiling with multiple slanting walls like in this bedroom below. It can often be confusing to figure out if something should be painted wall or ceiling color.
Even among designers and painters there seems to a difference of opinion of how best to treat angled walls and sloped ceilings. To help you make a decision of how best to treat your angled and sloped walls I thought it would be helpful to show you four options: Three that work and one that doesn't.
#1 The first way is to paint everything wall color except the flat (horizontal) ceiling like in this room below.
This is a perfectly good option if you want to keep the ceiling light but prefer a richer color on the walls. Wrapping all the slopes and angles in the same color minimizes the choppy feeling of the room. This treatment works best if the flat part of your ceiling is fairly wide, otherwise it could end up looking like a white landing strip like in the photo below.
#2. paint the entire room the same color. Many designers like this option the best. As top Designer Jamie Drake says:
"If your space has odd angles dormers, or unsettling beams, wrap the entire room in color. Use the same paint or paper on every surface. It will make all the oddities disappear."
Painting the entire room; walls, slopes and ceiling the same color not only minimizes all the angles but creates a calmer feeling for the room. I would caution you against using too dark of a color because you don't want to create a dark cave like room (unless that is the look you are going for). A light color is expanding and usually you can use all the visual height you can get in these sloping and angled rooms.
Look how restful the bedroom above looks even though visually there is a lot going on with that ceiling.
Wrapping the whole room in a soft neutral or white is also a great way to introduce pops of color in the furniture and accessories like in this family room below.
#3. Embrace the angles and slopes and make it the focal point of the room. This is a good option, especially if you want to create a statement.
check out the 4 rooms below and see how the homeowner embraced their odd angles and made it the focal point of the room.
and lastly, what NOT to do:
#4. Paint ceiling and angled walls white and walls a dark color. This is what I recommend NOT to do. The problem with this is that the more angles and sloped walls the room has, the more choppy the room feels. Since many of these types of angled rooms are bedrooms the choppiness does not make for a very restful space.
Another problem with Option #4 is that it can appear as if the ceiling is coming down and taking a bite out of the room.
Or that your room is wearing a big white hat like in this image below.
As always, I would love to hear from you… What is your favorite way to treat angled walls and sloped ceilings?
If you would like help deciding the best way to paint your room or help choosing the perfect color give me a call.
