PHILADELPHIA - Concert promoter Live Nation has put up more than $500,000 to cover the city's costs for the Labor Day music festival on Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
The two-day Made In America festival hosted by Jay-Z cost the city $505,124 in police, sanitation and other expenses. Live Nation paid a $200,000 deposit and delivered a check to cover the balance on Wednesday.
Mayor Michael Nutter says a preliminary estimate shows the event generated $10 million for the city's economy.
The city has long held events and concerts on the parkway but this was the first ticketed event to use the space.

As of half an hour ago (8:10 p.m. eastern time) if you do a standard search, the "Internet Biographical Collection" does not display in the results under Historical Records/Birth, Marriage, & Death. However, you can still go directly to the page for the database (the link was posted earlier today by at least two other blogs but I'm not gonna post it here). It shows up as an "Unknown" database but still has the same verbiage for the source information, i.e. it is an Ancestry database. And it can still be searched.
In the record detail they have added the url of the website as another piece of information, and it is clickable. But if it is a long url, the full address does not display.
In their announcement, Ancestry said "We have decided to remove this collection and search engine from Ancestry.com for the time being." This tells me that it will probably be back. But perhaps they will have learned something from all this and will "do it right" this time.
- They need to change the wording for the source information so that it is very clear that the content is from another site and is not actually their content.
- They need to prominently display the full url of the website where the information is coming from.
- They need to remove the link to the cached page as a default. A link to a cached page should only be displayed if the original website is no longer a live site.
- They should offer it as a free service. It should not be a subscription database.
My original post on the subject "Is this Fair Use?" includes some screen shots and I have some additional thoughts in Take a deep breath and relax...
I'm sure Ancestry never thought there would be such an outcry over what they have done. It's a credit to genealogists everywhere, not just the genea-bloggers, who spoke up and made their voice heard. Your opinion does matter, sometimes!

Welcome to Great Moments in Drunken Hookup Failure, where we showcase four heartwarming true stories of drunken love gone horribly awry. Off we go.
I studied abroad and spent a weekend in Prague with a handful of friends. We had an apartment close to the American-favorite club simply named Music Club. Since we were staying close, I didn't wear a coat, even though the Eastern Bloc in the middle of January is as icy as my mom is to all of my ex-girlfriends.
The club was a five-story mess of European dance music, 90's pop hits, and rap. My collection of white Catholic-school friends hunkered down on the rap floor. We were Ugly American Bros and we knew every lyric to every song. Czech ladies were drawn to this.
I began to dance and make out with a certain one and the night was moving along nicely. We enjoyed an hour or so of belting out early Eminem songs with my friends and hers. The lights came up, and she invited me back with her. I couldn't take her back to my place because we crammed a dozen guys in a place for four.
We walked a few blocks to an above-ground train stop. She tells me not to worry - she's close. Dressed only in jeans and a button-down (Shit, it probably even had vertical stripes. Mistakes were made), I figure it won't take long to warm up.
We hop on the train and I realize I'm out of Czech cash. She says not to worry.
The five minute ride turns into ten. I start falling asleep. I've always said that I have mild narcolepsy. I've definitely gotten on trains in NY and SF and have woken up at the end of the line. Sure enough, I pass out.
I wake up to her moving my shoulder. "We're here," she says. Nearly blacked out, I don't know who "we" is or where "here" is. It took me a minute to remember I was in Prague. But now, I wasn't in Prague. I was about an hour outside of it.
I faintly faintly remember getting off of the train only to see towers and towers of communist-era housing. The sun was coming up and there was a fog in the air. It looked cinematic. Fake, but at the same time, the physical manifestation of an amazing CGI artist. I was shivering.
When we left the club, I had no doubt I was going to sleep with Oksana, or whatever her name was. I was pretty sure because at various I had my hand down her pants and she had hers down mine. Or maybe it was when she said "Take me home and fuck me" in that amazing Eastern European accent.
But, based on the passing out, and the fact that she just then decided to tell me she lived with her parents, she told me I wasn't invited inside. I was dumbfounded (and so damn naive). She simply said, "Your train is there" while pointing across the way.
Wondering how I'd tell my family I got frostbite, and still without cash, I waited a while for a train. I got one in the direction of the city. Thirty minutes in, I was given a $75 ticket for not paying my fare. It took another hour and a half to get back to my apartment.
Told this story to a guy who lived in Prague for a while. Said it happens all the time—the Oksanas of the highrises just want to get home safely. Lovely.
Senior year of college, I'm out at the local bar after a football game. I tangentially worked with the team, so I knew some of the players. One of the captains sees me and quickly buys me a drink. I certainly didn't need it by that point in the night, but I happily drank it. He was there with guys I didn't recognize, so I assumed they were friends from home.
While standing there drinking, a couple of girls I knew from class and their friend Megan came up to the bar. I had seen Megan around before, but I'd never talked to her or introduced to her. She was tall, with wavy red hair, and the look that she might be a little reserved at first, but once things started she'd be a real goer.
We talk for a while, I must have bought a few more drinks, and every once in a while one of the football players friends would pop his head in and say, "I'm Tom" and another would say, "I'm Megan." At first it was funny, but the drunker I got the weirder it seemed.
Finally I ask Megan if she wants to dance, and she says yes. So as we walk to the dance floor, and I picture us getting naked in the immediate future, I hear one last time, "I'm Tom," "I'm Megan." This one totally freaks me out. I grab Megan's face (think Macaulay Culkin, but with my hands) and tell her, "I'm Tom, and you're Megan" over and over again. I turned around, and Megan used this opportunity to escape from the drunken goon clutching her face. I never talked to her again.
So I was in my second semester senior year at 21 years old and out at a party organized for the senior class. I see this girl Jenny who I had made out with before a year ago but never went further because she was a virgin and I didn't want a relationship or to be her first. She sees me and seems very into me from the start, to add to this we run into a mutual friend who she is close to who says, "Have you told him the news yet" with a sheepish look. I take this as a good sign as I knew that this guy had recently lost his virginity so I made the drunk correlation that obviously the reason she was overtly into me was she had lost her virginity and wanted to do the deed.
She had her roommate with her, but her roommate was cute and I had my friend there and they start hitting it off. I spend the night talking and horribly dancing with the girl as my roommate strolls in and out of the scene. Anyway as we hear the chartered bus taking people back to campus was there (I live off campus but the girls live on campus) they are ready to leave but I can't find my roommate so go to look for him. They have to make the bus so I say Ill text her. I find my roommate, scramble outside up the block to a cab when I hear someone calling out my name. We see the girl and her roommate ditching the line for the bus and running up the block in heels to get in the cab with us. We think we are golden.
For some reason they want us to go back to their place which is fine. We get inside the first door to the apartment complex but instead of going up it seems that the roommate has some inhibitions so we are standing in the lobby. This is fine, it seems the last line of defense. My girl is still into me it seems and think it's just a sobering-up process. After half an hour of standing around drunk talking the roommate says to Jenny "Don't you have some news to tell him?" I say, "What? You're married?" in an extremely sarcastic tone and the roommate goes "Yeah she's engaged, the ring is upstairs." Within the last two months her on-again, off-again boyfriend from high school had proposed. Dejected, we left.

In the recent years, commodity 3D sensors have become easily and widely available. These advances in sensing technology have spawned significant interest in using captured 3D data for mapping and semantic understanding of 3D environments. In this talk, I will give an overview of our latest research in the context of 3D reconstruction of indoor environments. I will further talk about the use of 3D data in the context of modern machine learning techniques. Specifically, I will highlight the importance of training data, and how can we efficiently obtain labeled and self-supervised ground truth training datasets from captured 3D content. Finally, I will show a selection of state-of-the-art deep learning approaches, including discriminative semantic labeling of 3D scenes and generative reconstruction techniques.
Biography: Prof. Niessner studied computer science at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, receiving his Diploma degree in 2010.

Stark Security Plugin
compile "org.grails.plugins:stark-security:0.4.3"
Setting Up the Stark Security Plugin
If you're upgrading from a previous version to 0.4.3 and want to take advantage of the fix for session fixation attacks, you'll need to manually insert the last two lines shown here in grails-app/conf/StarkSecurityConfig.groovy:Getting up and running with the Stark Security plugin is a simple three-step process:New installations of 0.4.3 get this automatically.authenticationManagers = [ [ // This is the default authenticaiton manager. name: 'AM', processesUrl: '/j_spring_security_login', alwaysUseDefaultTargetUrl: false, authenticationSuccessUrl: '/access/loginSuccess', authenticationFailureUrl: '/access/authenticationFailure', invalidateSessionOnSuccessfulAuthentication: true, // <-- THIS ONE migrateInvalidatedSessionAttributes: true, // <- AND THIS ONE
1. Install the pluginInstall the plugin in the usual way:
grails install-plugin stark-security
2. Configure the PluginYou can do this in one of two ways, depending on your needs:
A. Full InstallationIf you're starting from scratch with your authentication/authorization scheme, this is the way to go. It will install:
- Authorization logic
- DAO authentication
- LDAP authentication
The following files will be installed in your application's grails-app directory:
grails stark-security-install-full
- conf/StarkSecurityConfig.groovy -- all config properties live here
- services/UserLookupService.groovy -- service for DAO authentication
- domain/User.groovy -- domain object used for DAO authentication
- domain/Role.groovy -- domain object that holds role definitions for authorization
- controllers/AccessController.groovy -- basic login/logout controller
- views/access/login.gsp -- basic login form
B. Install without DAO ImplementationIf you're planning on using LDAP authentication only, or you already have a DAO-based authentication scheme in place (or plan to roll your own), this is your installation method. It will install:
- Authorization logic
- LDAP authentication
The following files will be installed in your application's grails-app directory:
grails stark-security-install-without-dao
- conf/StarkSecurityConfig.groovy -- all config properties live here
- domain/Role.groovy -- domain object that holds role definitions for authorization
- controllers/AccessController.groovy -- basic login/logout controller
- views/access/login.gsp -- basic login form
3. Add your rolesThis can be done any number of ways, depending on how you work with your database. The simplest example assumes you're running against an in-memory database -- then you can simply add the roles in conf/Bootstrap.groovy like this:
Note that you will want to update the domain/Role.groovy class with static references to the roles you create. In this example, it would look like this:
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.starksecurity.PasswordEncoderclass BootStrap { def init = { servletContext -> // Create some roles def ROLE_SUPER_USER = new Role(authority: 'ROLE_SUPER_USER', description: 'Super user') ROLE_SUPER_USER.save() def ROLE_REPORT_READER = new Role(authority: 'ROLE_REPORT_READER', description: 'Report reader') ROLE_REPORT_READER.save() // Create a user, and add the super user role // You do this only if you're using the DAO implementation, // for LDAP users don't live in your DB. def superUser = new User(username: 'superUser', password: PasswordEncoder.encode('password', 'SHA-256', true)) superUser.save() superUser.addToRoles(Role.findByAuthority('ROLE_SUPER_USER')) superUser.save() } def destroy = { } }
The prefix 'ROLE_' in your role names is important -- it is a Spring Security requirement that your roles are named that way.
class Role implements GrantedAuthority { String description String authority static final ANONYMOUS = 'IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY' static final SUPER_USER = 'ROLE_SUPER_USER' static final REPORT_READER = 'ROLE_REPORT_READER' static final ALL_ROLES = [ ANONYMOUS, SUPER_USER, REPORT_READER ] static final ADMIN_ROLES = [ SUPER_USER, REPORT_READER ] int compareTo(Object o) { if (o instanceof Role) { return this.authority.compareTo(o.authority) } return 0 } String toString() { return authority } }
Using Stark Security with your Grails ApplicationThat's it, Stark Security is installed and configured. Now when you're coding your controllers, you simply add a section to each controller that declares the access level for each of its methods. It should look like this:
For URLs that do not map to controller methods, there is a similar section in conf/StarkSecurityConfig.groovy where you can open up access for those types of paths.
class BookController { static authorizations = [ index: Role.ALL_ROLES, list: Role.ALL_ROLES, show: Role.ADMIN_ROLES, delete: [Role.SUPER_USER], // [.....] for users edit: Role.ADMIN_ROLES, update: Role.ADMIN_ROLES, create: Role.ADMIN_ROLES, save: Role.ADMIN_ROLES ]. . .
Configuring Security Event Listeners
This part if optional -- not required for basic use of the Stark Security pluginSince version 0.3, you can optionally configure security event listeners/handlers with stark security. These can be configured like this in grails-app/conf/StarkSecurityConfig.groovy:
starksecurity { . . . // Optionally, you can handle authentication and authorization events as they happen. In the section // below, you can add/edit handlers for any events that can be found in the packages // org.springframework.security.event.[authentication|authorization]. // The event class name must be prefixed with the last portion of the package name, as shown in the // default handlers below. eventHandlers = [ 'authentication.AbstractAuthenticationEvent': { e, appContext -> // This handles the superclass of all authentication events -- put logic here to do something for all authentication events }, 'authorization.AbstractAuthorizationEvent': { e, appContext -> // This handles the superclass of all authorization events -- put logic here to do something for all authorization events } ] }
Participating in Spring Security Filter Chain
This part if optional -- not required for basic use of the Stark Security pluginSince version 0.4, you can optionally participate in various stages of the Spring Security filter chain. Closures can be configured as follows in grails-app/conf/StarkSecurityConfig.groovy:
// The following interceptors are also optional -- they allow participation in the Spring Security filter chain at various // points. To halt the processing of the filter chain at any of these points, throw an exception and // comment out/omit the 'chain.doFilter(request, response)' statement. onBeforeAuthentication = { request, response, chain, appContext -> // Add code here if you need to intercept the request before it hits the authentication processing filter. // For instance, you may want to store the value of a "remember me" checkbox in a cookie. chain.doFilter(request, response) } onBeforeAuthorization = { request, response, chain, appContext -> // Add code here if you need to intercept the request before it hits the authorization processing filter. chain.doFilter(request, response) } onAfterAuthorization = { request, response, chain, appContext -> // Add code here if you need to intercept the request after it hits the authorization processing filter. chain.doFilter(request, response) }
Stark Security Plugin -- version 0.4.3The Stark Security plugin -- 'stark' as in simple, but also 'strong' in Swedish -- is an implementation of Spring Security for Grails. The purpose of the plugin is two-fold, as its name implies: to be simple to install, configure, and maintain, and to strongly secure your web application.To make a long story short, securing your application with Stark Security looks like this:
So there are two features in particular that differentiates Stark Security from the two standard security plugins for Grails (acegi and jsecurity):
class BookController { static authorizations = [
index: Role.ALL_ROLES,
edit: [Role.ROLE_EDITOR]
] def index = { Book.list() } def edit = {
// Some logic to edit a book
}. . .
- Lock-down or 'pessimistic' approach. Instead of leaving the web application open and relying on configured rules to lock down certain areas, the Stark Security plugin locks down everything by default. Developers open up access on a controller-method basis as they are coding the controllers.
- Authorization mappings by convention. The determination of which roles can access which URLs is declared by convention in every controller, right next to the eventual URL end-points (controller methods) as shown in the example above. This makes for straight-forward implementation and maintenance of the security rules.

Hey went spearfishing with my two best buds yesterday in Belize, (Dennis Matus & Randy Smith). Randy missed it, but I got him!!!! A big male Hogfish. It was a great experience, I truly love spear fishing. This is one of my favorite fish to catch, because it tastes so good.
The Hogfish is a species of fish, which belongs to the Wrasse, family. The Hogfish is one of the larger species of wrasses and is very abundant here in Belize.
The Hogfish has a very elongated snout which it uses to search for crustaceans buried in the sediment. Interestingly it is from this very long "pig-like" snout and its rooting behavior, that the Hogfish gets its name.
A prominent black spot behind the pectoral fins, differentiates male from females. The dorsal fin, usually is composed of three or four long dorsal spines followed by a series of shorter dorsal spines.
A very interesting fact about this fish..........a Hogfish, can change sex during different life stages in its life.. A Hogfish can start out as a female juvenile and then after a certain age mature to become a male. The change usually occurs around 3 years of age and about 14inches in length.
Males are signified by their coloration and have a deep dark band spanning from their snout to the first dorsal spine as well as the lateral black spot behind the pectoral fins. Hogfish reach a maximum size of about 3 feet and approximately 22 pounds and have been recorded to live up to 11 years.
I have one female and one male Hogfish in the picture above. These are going to make good eaten tonight! Crank up the stove and put the drinks in the refrigerator mom - we've coming home!

When I Hear the Scriptures
1. The scriptures say that Jesus, one day so long ago,
Spoke kindly to the children at His knee.
Then, one by one, He blessed them, His hands upon each head,
And so I feel His tender love for me.
2. The scriptures say that Jesus healed one who could not see
And raised a child from death to live again.
And so I know as surely as if I had been there,
He holds the pow'r of healing in His hand.
3. The scriptures say that Jesus rose from a garden tomb
That shining, wondrous morning long ago.
I know life is eternal, I know I'll live once more;
The Savior lives and loves me—this I know.
For when I hear the scriptures, I hear the Savior's voice;
I see the things He did when He was here;
And when I hear the scriptures, I feel my heart rejoice.
The scriptures let me know the Savior's near.

CANTON, OH (AP) Retired coaches Bill Cowher, Bill Parcells and Marty Schottenheimer are among the modern-era candidates for the 2012 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Cowher is eligible for the first time, as are Keyshawn Johnson, Tiki Barber, Drew Bledsoe, Stephen Davis, Rod Smith, Will Shields, Troy Vincent and Mike Vanderjagt.
Parcells and Schottenheimer previously were eligible under different requirements.
In 2008, the Hall of Fame made it mandatory for coaches, like players, to be retired five consecutive seasons. Before that, coaches were eligible immediately upon retirement, allowing Parcells to be a nominee in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and Schottenheimer in 2000. This is their first year of eligibility under the new provision.

Timber Wolf 1203PC 162 - 162" x 1/2" x .025" x 3 TPI Pos Claw Bandsaw Blade

Free shipping within the Contiguous United States.
Timber Wolf® mills the teeth of all their blades, as opposed to stamping them out. This process produces a blade that is at least 50% sharper out of the box. Timber Wolf® also uses induction hardening, which results in a blade that will conform to a band wheel using 30% less tension.
High Performance (HP) and Raker (RK) blades are specifically designed for detail work in 1" and smaller kiln dried wood when a very clean finish is required. They are also effective in plywood and other woods where tear-out is a concern as well as in the cutting of soft metals.
Positive Claw (PC) blades are everything a wood cutting blade was meant to be. They have over 60% of the speed capabilities of a hook style blade with "hook" style gullet geometry and fast chip removal, while giving you the great finish of a skip.
AS-S blades are only .025" thick with a total overall set of only .048 thousandths of an inch. These bands were specifically designed for straight-line resawing in very expensive, thick woods. These blades utilize the thinnest kerf possible and provide a super finish when speed is not a concern.
Blade Selection: Selecting the right blade for the cutting task requires knowledge about blade characteristics and cutting priorities (i.e. speed, finish, etc.).
Tooth Set: Two common tooth sets for wood bandsaw blades are alternate and raker. Each type of tooth set removes material in a different manner, leaving cuts with different characteristics.
Tooth Type: The most common tooth types for wood blades are:

No more video
The nano's other "apps" are all repeats from past nano generations—there's basically nothing new here except for how they look on the home screen.
Apple made a curious decision in the last version of the iPod nano—the company added a built-in camera so that users could take cellphone-like videos on the tiny device. This was in addition to the video playback capabilities that have been part of the nano for several generations (if you synced a music video or TV show to the nano, you could watch it on the little screen).
All of that, however, is now gone. Though we joked during the September Apple event that no one used the video camera in the nano anyway, several Ars staff members pointed out that their kids did indeed use the fifth-generation nano to take videos on occasion. So, we amend our statement—almost no one took videos, except for young users who don't have more sophisticated devices (cell phones, Flip cameras) to do the same task. For those users, the elimination of the video camera in the sixth-generation nano will be a disappointment, but for most of the adult users in the house, this will likely be a trivial change.
What's more perplexing is the elimination of all video playback capabilities in the latest nano. No longer can you view videos synced to the device—in fact, Apple won't even let you try to sync TV shows or movies to the nano, even if they are in a playlist that you are syncing. iTunes will let you sync music videos that are in your playlists, but they won't show up as music videos on the nano. There's no differentiation when viewing a playlist as to which items are videos and which ones are regular songs, and when you try to "watch" a video, it only shows you a still photo while playing the song in question.
Not that we ever thought there were throngs of people watching video on the nano's miniscule screen on a regular basis—we're just surprised by this change. The nano's screen can obviously still handle animations and moving objects, and TUAW's Erica Sadun has dug up evidence that the nano still has some video playback support buried deep within its internal settings property list. So, there's some possibility that video playback may one day return to the nano, but for now, users will have to do without.
Other "apps" on the nano
The nano's other "apps" are all repeats from past nano generations—there's basically nothing new here except for how they look on the home screen. As we mentioned earlier, there are almost too many separate icons that let you sort your music/audio by different categories, such as genre, composers, artists, albums, and so on. There's an icon specifically for podcasts, and a new icon for genius playlists that you can sync from iTunes.
The nano has also retained its fitness features, which come in the form of Nike+ support and a built-in pedometer. To describe the pedometer, we'll quote ourselves from last year's review of the fifth-generation nano:
"The 5G iPod nano comes equipped with a built-in pedometer that, like most pedometers, counts your steps as you take them. With more people paying attention to their health and with the general popularity of pedometers as a cheap and easy way to track how much you're walking, the addition of a pedometer in the iPod nano is, at worst, gimmicky, and at best, nice to have. The pedometer does not require the purchase of a Nike+iPod Sport Kit—all that's required is that you turn it on via the nano's menu system and begin walking."
You can set a step goal in the sixth-generation nano's Settings, and navigate to the pedometer itself by tapping on the Fitness icon. Once you have it turned on, it will continue tracking your steps even when you switch to other "apps" within the nano.
The radio tuner is, in fact, a legit tuner that picks up FM waves. This feature is not new to the sixth-gen nano, but we find it more appealing to use in the sixth-gen nano for some reason (possibly because the nano can now clip to you, making it easier to carry around and listen to). Like the previous implementations of the radio tuner, you can mark stations as favorites, tag songs to buy on iTunes later, and even see a list of recent songs played on the stations you have been listening to.
And, like the old nano, you can even pause live radio for several minutes (15, to be exact) if you need to stop listening in order to do something. When you come back, you just hit play and pick up where you left off. If you move on to a different channel, the nano will alert you that you'll be heading back to live radio territory and you're about to lose any audio that has been buffered.
Voice Memos are also back in the latest nano, and the implementation is nearly identical to that in the fifth-gen nano with just a slight tweak in how it's displayed. There's still a VU meter that gives you visual feedback when your voice is being picked up by the device, and you can record multiple memos that are saved onto the nano for syncing with iTunes later.
Finally, the Photos app allows you to view any photos you have synced to the nano through iTunes. You can scroll through the list with your finger and tap on the photo you want to view in full size. Unless you specify through iTunes that you want to sync full-resolution photos with the nano, it will automatically scale them down for the nano's screen.
There's really no point in syncing full-res photos to the nano if all you're going to do is view them on the tiny screen anyway—it's not as if the device has a retina display like the iPhone 4 that make it worthwhile to view high-res pictures. This is really just a quick way to show off some snapshots, like the digital equivalent of whipping out your wallet to show off your kids.
Battery life
Apple claims the nano can get "up to" 24 hours of audio playback on a full charge. According to the recent iFixit teardown, the battery is 105 mAh—more than double the 51 mAh in the new iPod shuffle. We agree with iFixit's assessment that the larger battery is surely to power the nano's screen, though the nano does have a longer advertised life than the shuffle (which Apple claims can do 15 hours).
In our testing, Apple's claims held water. We were able to run the nano down from a full charge in just over 24 hours while listening to a playlist on nonstop loop, with a handful of screen interactions in order to change songs, mess with the pedometer, and so on. In the real world, though, it's unlikely that you'll be listening to music for 24 hours straight, so you can probably squeeze several days' worth of use out of the iPod nano before having to recharge again.
We'll just come out and say it: the sixth-generation iPod nano feels very un-nano-like. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it definitely feels and "acts" more like a shuffle, but with a screen. The size and built-in clip definitely help this perception, but the general limitations of the device (no more video, largely focused around audio-only) make it more like the shuffle than ever before.
Sure, it can do a number of extra things, such as take voice notes, count your steps, and let you rearrange playlists, and that's exactly why someone might buy the nano over a shuffle. We would say the new nano is really more like an "iPod shuffle Extreme," and less like the sixth-generation of the real iPod nano line.
That being said, it's an okay little device. It doesn't really get our hearts racing anymore like the nanos of yore, but the music player market is different now than it was five years ago. Because it's more shuffle-like than ever, buyers who are choosing between the two must decide whether the screen, storage space, and handful of extra features are worth the $100 (or more) difference between them.
As a current iPhone owner, there's virtually no need for me to own something like this. I even run regularly now, and I use my iPhone for it instead of something smaller—there's just that extra appeal of being able to use GPS, plus not having to own multiple gadgets that do similar things. We here at Ars imagine that many other users who are happy with their music-playing smartphones probably feel the same way.
However, kids and teenagers might still appreciate the nano for what it is—a small and relatively cheap device that looks cool and works well with iTunes on the computer. But does the nano have enough features to make it interesting compared to, say, an iPod touch, which can run apps and now comes equipped with a camera?
We're not sure. As likable as it may be with as many weird and random features Apple can change from year to year, the nano concept itself might be getting long in the tooth.
- The screen is now touch-enabled, bringing it in line with Apple's other iPods
- Touchscreen lets you do some stuff you can do on iOS devices, like create and edit playlists
- Addition of the long-needed clip
- No more video camera or video playback
- Not really iOS, just looks like it

I have read the EEPROM is in the D Series in the near of the Processor.
Here are the pictures:
On the circuit is written:

I think its a ATMEL circuit but on the Website i cant find the correct circuit.
I think its the EEPROM but i cant find a Datasheet on the web.
I have try to connect the M_HRESET with any other but without sccess.
I have mesured, only if the screen is on i can find on 4/8 Pins 3,3V.
I am electronics technician for equipment and systems in education (Germany) and own Multimeter etc. and in computer science, I am not ignorant.
Anybody has a idea how i can reset the TV, repair the Bootloop, whats the correct circuit or what i make false? I hope anybody can help me, thanks.

Am not sure that I have them on correctly because they came with no instructions/directions or diagram. May be a small thing to some, but when something could tear or break during an attempt to install it would be nice to have a diagram. Otherwise, they appear to be really snug. I will be interested to see if the elasticized strings hold up to sun/weather, etc., or whether they lose tautness over time.

According to french source, F-22 dominated every time, and "gun killed" the rafale at least twice.
From all french source we could get (including the french "air & cosmos" magzine, and its supp. "the combat of rafale"), all french pilots interviewed admitted that rafale did not score any voctory on F-22. The only controversy lies on whether F-22 won all engagements, or some engagements were draw.
Apeendix: comments on this video:
In this dogfight video which lasts over 3 minutes, the F-22 only appeared in the front hemisphere of Rafale for a couple of seconds (at 2:49,3:05,4:12,4:42), so what happened for the rest of the time over 2 minutes? The french people don't want us to know. What if F-22 maintained an advantageous position for the rest of the time?
In addition, since this is a gunfight DACT, no gun solution is achieved in this video, if you watch the line representing the gun solution. The rafale failed to place F-22 at the end of the line (which is the predicted trajectory of bullets), so it did not get sufficient lead. That's why all french source claims that rafale got no victories.

Stock-market technicians have a new tool with which to ply their trades. ChartLabPro is a Website just out of beta testing that provides some highly graphical ways for traders to keep up with the market's twists and turns.
Phase one of ChartLabPro's (chartlabpro.com) graduated rollout provides subscribers with a portfolio tracker, charting, a stream of intraday market internals, and trading recommendations for $9.95 a month. It doesn't have the extensive content and tools found on more generalized technical analysis sites like StockCharts.com. That's because ChartLabPro's content reflects the specific methodologies developed by co-founder Greg Troccoli in his 25 years of trading. Troccoli was chief technical analyst at the former Prudential Securities brokerage operation.
"The core of the platform revolves around our proprietary algorithm that has been used to manage real money at hedge funds for the last decade," explains co-founder and president Brett Golden, also a longtime trader, who designed the site. The algorithm generates daily Buy/Sell recommendations from a preselected group of stocks as well as any Standard & Poor's 500 or Nasdaq stock a subscriber wants to add to his or her portfolio.
STOCKCHARTS.COM, in contrast, is a technical charting site whose tools and intraday commentary are far broader and deeper, but it doesn't offer trading recommendations or a portfolio. Instead, for $25 a month, StockCharts.com users can build up to 200 collections of 500 highly customizable candlestick or line charts each. It's a different metaphor delivered through a more traditional menu of technical screening and pattern recognition tools that technicians often use.
The initial version of ChartLabPro focuses on two popular trading strategies derived from mean reversion and sector rotation. Easy-to-recognize color-coded cues identify short-, medium- and long-term trends in stocks and sectors using indicators that should be more easily grokked by novices than most technical jargon is. Additional global macro, market-neutral, or dividend-oriented strategies will be added, Golden promises.
The site has many points of interest— its daily market commentary, for example. But the centerpiece is a dashboard where the user finds a portfolio prepopulated by 45 large caps. You can easily edit the tickers' share amounts, purchase prices, and acquisition dates or add your own stocks and funds.
ChartLabPro is a trading-oriented–as opposed to investment-oriented–portfolio that displays only 10 tickers at a time with relevant trading metrics and signals. It's an approach very different from the multiple portfolios chock full of valuation metrics that sites like Stock Rover (stockrover.com) offer investors tracking long-term holdings. (See "Go Fetch, Stock Rover," April 30.)
Unlimited portfolios and watchlists will arrive with the next major upgrade, says Golden, along with additional risk and correlation measures useful in pairs trading and other strategies. A stop-loss feature isn't on the immediate horizon. As a result, traders might also consider a subscription to ExitPoint (www.exitpoint.com), which offers a comprehensive but easy-to-use system for setting target prices and stop-loss exits. ExitPoint also allows you to track multiple portfolios. Rates start at $131.40 a year for 50 positions.
Prominent among ChartLabPro's features is each ticker's "STD," an important measure of a stock's volatility that few other sites take the trouble to update. STD shows how many standard deviations today's share price diverges from the ticker's 21-day moving average, the arithmetic mean of 21 days of closing prices. Technicians believe that the farther away from its mean a share's price swings, the more likely it is to revert back to it (or swing past it).
ChartLabPro represents the 21-day moving average by a vertical black line, on either side of which is a green or red bar showing the number of standard deviations today's share price is above or below the mean, respectively. A stock whose green or red bar extends out 2½ or 3 standard deviations is becoming either overbought or oversold and is, probably, primed for trading.
Alas, it's rarely as simple as selling overbought stocks short and buying oversold ones, warns Golden. A variety of strategy-specific factors also have to be considered, many of which can be found among ChartLabPro's other graphical cues showing how individual stocks, sectors, and the overall market are trending. Among the graphics in the portfolio are those that show where a stock's current price falls within its 52-week range, its support and resistance levels, and the short-term direction and strength of its trend.
Rounding out the portfolio display is a 5-to-1 Buy/Sell rating for each ticker (1 being the weakest price performance). The rating, which is the core of the platform, is generated by an algorithm that crunches 200 weighted indicators to summarize Troccoli's trading view. Click on a ticker's Buy/Sell rating and a scatter plot pops up to compare the ratings and year-to-date performance for that ticker and its peers. You may find a peer that's stronger than the ticker being investigated.
"I STARTED THE SITE because online-brokerage firms provided a lot of charts and tools that made my eyes glaze over," explains Golden. "I just wanted to know if I should buy or sell."
Mousing over or clicking on indicators unearths another layer of information. For example, hitting a ticker takes you to its profile page, with various clues to how it's trending, including a chart where up to four years of price activity can be plotted. Easily changed views offer either line or candlestick displays, but none of the technical and pattern-recognition indicators found on dyed-in-the-wool charting sites like StockCharts.com. However, the ticker's Buy/Sell rating history is displayed–one way to see at a glance how the site's recommendations track the stock's price history.
ChartLabPro won't be all things to all technicians, but its imaginative graphical approach does simplify concepts that usually make your head hurt. For those new to technical analysis who would appreciate a helping hand from a long-time professional trader, ChartLabPro is a good place to start.

Congress approves $9.7 billion in Sandy flood aid
WASHINGTON (AP) — The new Congress has passed a $9.7 billion bill to help pay flood insurance claims to homeowners, renters and businesses damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
The bill cleared the Senate following passage earlier Friday by the House. It replenishes the National Flood Insurance Program that was due to run out of money next week with some 115,000 Sandy-related claims as well as 5,000 from other floods unresolved.
The late October storm ravaged the coast from North Carolina to Maine, with the worst flooding occurring in New York City and its suburbs, Atlantic City, N.J., along the Connecticut coastline. Votes are planned later this month on another $51 billion aid package. The government already has spent more than $2 billion as part of the emergency response to the storm.

Now 29, a few years ago Rossiter was a Honda and Super Aguri tester and almost signed up with the ill-fated USF1 as a race driver.
Today, as well as racing Lotus sports cars, he works with Force India in the Silverstone based team's driver simulator.
Rossiter is getting his chance to test the new VJM06 not because he is a candidate to race in 2013, but because Force India is heading to Jerez with only one confirmed driver -- Paul di Resta.
Citing deputy team boss Bob Fernley, Reuters correspondent Alan Baldwin said on Twitter that Rossiter has been enlisted to "help them (the team) out with some of the testing".
Germany's motorsport-total.com reported that, similar to Pedro de la Rosa's Ferrari outing next week, Rossiter's main task at Jerez will be to collect correlation data for the simulator over half a day of running.

Our planes are made from CNC cut high quality EPP foam right here in the USA. If it's not high quality EPP and it's not cut in the USA, it's not a SuperFly RC product.
SuperFly RC planes are constructed almost entirely out of Expanded Polypropylene foam (EPP) with no internal spars or covering. The majority of EPP in today's market is used in automobile bumpers. That should tell you just how tough it really is. Unlike conventional foam, EPP can be bent, biten, folded, stepped on, twisted, and mistreated in general and it will return to its normal shape. EPP can break but it is easy to repair with Hot Glue. Try a SuperFly RC Plane TODAY!

News of Don Rickles death hit Jimmy Kimmel especially hard.
After sharing his condolences via Twitter Thursday, the 49-year-old host spent the first 12 minutes of his show honoring the late comedian.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fpcf0HcCgU&w=560&h=315]
U.S. & World
"This is not going to be our usual show tonight--and I'll tell you right up front that I'm going to cry, probably a lot, which is embarrassing," Kimmel said struggling to maintain his composure. "But, uh...Well, I'm not good with this sort of thing, and I'm sorry, especially to those of you who came here to see the show in person, because that's probably not what you came for--but we lost someone that we and I love very much today."
"Again, I'm sorry if you're just hearing this for the first time today, but Don Rickles passed away this morning. He was 90 years old," he told the studio audience. "I know it sounds crazy to say he was too young, but he was, because he was youthful and so funny and sharp and generous."
Elsewhere in late-night, "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert opened his show by paying tribute to the legend. "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon briefly paid tribute to the comedy legend as well.
"He's been on 'The Tonight Show' a countless number of times. I've personally been out to dinner with him a few times where he said some truly, truly mean things to me," he told fans in Orlando, where "The Tonight Show" is taping this week. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family."
Celebrity Deaths: 2017's Fallen Stars
Late Night's Seth Meyers called Rickles "one of the all-time greats" and shared one of his favorite memories of the comic. "I've told this story before, but it meant so much to me," he said. "A few years ago, I was at a party and Don Rickles was there. He was sitting at a table and he was alone. I said to myself, 'I will always regret it if I don't go over and say hello to Don Rickles.' I went over and I said, 'Mr. Rickles, I just wanted to say hello. My name is Seth Meyers. I'm on "Saturday Night Live." He just looked at me and said, 'Oh, I'm so sorry to hear Saturday Night Live was canceled.' I was like, 'Oh, it wasn't canceled.' He just went, 'A guy can dream!'"
"There's nothing better than getting burned by Don Rickles. I was always very thankful for that," he added, "and I was always grateful that we got to enjoy his comedy for all these many years."

It takes an automobile a minimum of 20 years to be deemed a classic.
Music wasn't dubbed classical until 1836, and even then, it was more than 800 years since the first bit of music in that stylized genre was played publicly.
For the NHL, its U.S. outdoor game, which has somewhat obnoxiously used the word 'Classic' in its title despite still being in its formative years, may have finally reached a classification worthy of its name.
In just the fifth installment of the game, the NHL has brought its outdoor hockey festival to Philadelphia for the fifth annual Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park.
After four previous games - two at football stadiums and two at the oldest baseball stadiums in America, the game, featuring the hometown Flyers and their bitter rival New York Rangers, will be finally be played in a facility that makes the most sense - a cozy, modern baseball park with great sight lines and amenities in a hockey-mad market.
'What an event this is,' said Max Talbot, who will be taking in the Classic as a player for the third time. 'It's five days of celebration. Not just as a player but for the fans and our families too. To skate outside in an NHL rink is special. Especially for my parents, it's pretty cool.'
Talbot was injured, but on the Penguins roster for the inaugural classic in Buffalo in 2008 and played in last year's rain-soaked mess in Pittsburgh.
And while the early forecast hints at the possibility of precipitation for this year's rendition, the NHL has built in more time than in the past to make up the game in case Mother Nature chooses not to cooperate.
So if that's not good enough, Flyers' goalie Ilya Bryzgalov has a better idea.
'We can just put on the swimming hats and Speedos and play Rangers versus Flyers in water polo,' he said.
Alternate sports possibilities aside, when combining lessons learned by the league with the decision to play in a perfectly-sized venue that has every seat aimed toward where the rink is being built and more buzz about the game and the events surrounding it than ever before, and you've got a winner.
'Logistically, it's easier to put the rink in a football stadium because you're basically putting a rectangle inside of a rectangle and it fits nicely,' Flyers' president Peter Luukko said in September.
'But, a baseball park, while more challenging in some aspects, is more fan-friendly and more intimate while providing the excitement of playing hockey outside in the cold. It's a nice marriage of both style and substance.'
Not to mention, it's a thrill for the athletes.
'Playing in front of 46,000 people outdoors - to do that as a hockey player is not something that everyone gets a chance to do and that's pretty cool,' said New York defenseman Marc Staal, who is trying like mad to get back from a concussion he suffered last season, when he was checked by his older brother Eric, in time to play in the Winter Classic. Staal was cleared for contact Monday and is hoping to be back in time. 'The attention that you get for something like this is great. It's just a regular season game, but there are big games during a season. This one has everyone's eyes on it. That's pretty cool.'
The cool factor is wide-ranging.
For fans, it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see an NHL game outdoors and be a part of a spectacle.
For players, it takes them back to their youth, when outdoor hockey was played for the sole purpose of flaunting youthful exuberance, and not as a multi-billion dollar industry.
' I had a rink in my back yard since I was four,' said Rangers depth forward Erik Christensen. 'Growing up in Western Canada those were always available around our house, so when I played in the first Winter Classic (for Pittsburgh) I thought it was no big deal, but it turned out to be the most authentic game you could have because of the snow and everything.
'The anticipation for playing in it the first time is a little bit nerve-wracking because you're wondering what it's going to be like. But when we were walking out side-by-side with the Sabres and looking up at that crowd it was unbelievable. You didn't feel like a professional hockey player. You felt like a kid again.'
And while the players will be channeling their inner child for the game, coaches, like Flyers' bench boss Peter Laviolette will be intensely focused on game plans and line changes and everything else coaches dwell on before a game.
'I've got a lot of people coming in that are family members,' Laviolette said. 'But I think it's important to tell your family to head off in a different direction at some point because there's a big game coming up against the Rangers.
'While it's the Winter Classic and a great event, it's also a division game and a conference game and we need to find success against the Rangers, the Penguins, the Devils… our division is no push. That game means something more than just a great day on a baseball field. It means two points in the standings.'

Woodspriestess: Exploring the intersection between Nature, the Goddess, art, and poetry.
Listening to the woods, to the stones, to Gaia, and to women...
In the woods behind my house rest a collection of nine large flat rocks. Daily, I walk down to these "priestess rocks" for some sacred time alone to pray, meditate, consider, and be. Often, while in this space, I open my mouth and poetry comes out. I've come to see this experience as "theapoetics"—experiencing the Goddess through direct "revelation," framed in language. As Stanley Hopper originally described in the 1970's, it is possible to "…replace theology, the rationalistic interpretation of belief, with theopoetics, finding God[dess] through poetry and fiction, which neither wither before modern science nor conflict with the complexity of what we know now to be the self." Theapoetics might also be described, "as a means of engaging language and perception in such a way that one enters into a radical relation with the divine, the other, and the creation in which all occurs."
Thinking in Circles
circle round
circle round and celebrate
circle round and sing
circle round and share stories
circle round and reach out a hand
no beginning
no end…
In working with people, we often need to learn to think in circles, rather than in lines. Circles are strong. Circles are steady. Circles hold the space, circles make a place for others. Circles can expand or contract as needed. Circles can be permeable and yet have a strong boundary. Linked arms in a circle can keep things out and show solidarity. Linked energy in a circle can transform the ordinary into sacred space. Hands at each other's backs, facing each other, eye level. Working together in a circle for a ritual, change is birthed, friendships are strengthened, and love is visible.
Rituals are very important in acknowledging life passages—they say: we care, we notice, we honor, we celebrate. They mark transitions, celebrate accomplishments, and acknowledge losses. They provide a container for emotions, the opportunity to strengthen relationships and share experiences. They add meaning, value, and purpose to the events of our unique lives. They communicate love and appreciation.
Elizabeth Gilbert explains that:
We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don't have to haul those feelings around with us forever, weighing us down. We all need such places of ritual safekeeping. And I do believe that if your culture or tradition doesn't have the specific ritual you are craving, then you are absolutely permitted to make up a ceremony of your own devising, fixing your own broken-down emotional systems with all the do-it-yourself resourcefulness of a generous plumber/poet…
(Eat, Pray, Love)
Leading effective rituals involves awareness and management of the energetic "balance" and mood of a group and creating an effective container for change-work or self-discovery. Ritual facilitation also requires organization, planning, motivation, and self-confidence. It can be difficult, frustrating, overwhelming, and discouraging. It can also be exhilarating, rich, connected, and powerful.
In the woods, I offer a prayer for our circle, learning, changing, and growing together:
May our circle be strong
may our circle be harmonious
may our circle be steady
and may our circle grow and change
please guide me as I priestess this circle today
please help me to see, hear, and honor those within the circle
help me to act with love in my heart, hands, and mind
help me to guard the energy of this space
help me to facilitate sacred connection
let us all act as sisters
as companions and friends
hold hands
hold the space
hold each other…

KCK man charged with 18 counts in fire, deaths of 2
Woman, child found dead in apartment Saturday morning
The Wyandotte County District Attorney charged a 37-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man in the deaths of a woman and her young niece over the weekend.
Curtis T. Horn was charged with 18 counts, including premeditated first-degree murder, felony first-degree murder, aggravated arson and 15 counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The fire broke out at an apartment building in the 7600 block of Garfield Avenue early Saturday morning.
Firefighters found Brandi Johnson, 34, and Amiyah McClenton, 2, dead in one apartment.
Investigators would not discuss a motive, but described it as a domestic situation, and said Johnson was killed before the fire. Autopsies were pending on both victims.
Prosecutor Jerome Gorman described it as a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
"I don't think we can comment on how strong it was. But it is safe to say they knew each other for 5 or 6 months," Gorman said.
He said Johnson did not live at the apartment; she was there to help her sister with child care.
Family members said Johnson was baby sitting McClenton while her mother was at work.
The girl, who was often called Miyah, would have turned 3 next month.
Gorman said 15 children under the age of 18 were in the apartment complex when the fire was set. He said that is why Horn is facing 15 counts of child endangerment.
Prosecutors requested that Horn be held on $1 million bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon.
