Gods Gift - Pathology DOWNLOAD (Messthetics #218):full download of all songs (in iTunes .m4a, or best-quality 320K .mp3 format), printable booklet and track-listings.
The early Manchester scene was anchored by The Fall, Joy Division, a few straight-ahead punks, and the more idiosyncratic denizens of the Manchester Musicians Collective. And Gods Gift out-did them all - in diffidence, darkness, pure feral energy and gleeful musical anarchy. Their successes were epic, but their failures, too, left indelible impressions. Guitarist Steve Murphy put it simply: "If things were going wrong, we'd make them go more wrong." Singer Steven Edwards once shouted out to a baffled London crowd, "Wotcha dancing for? it's tuneless, you pillock!"
This was no pose. As much as can be said of any band in rock history, Gods Gift were the product of their day jobs: Murphy, Edwards, and at least five others who played in GG all worked "inside" at Prestwich Asylum - then the largest psychiatric hospital in the U.K. The hospital's grayness, hopelessness, and constant menace permeated not just GGs tunes and lyrics, but their very stage-presence - Edwards in work-clothes, and Murphy playing (always!) with his back turned to some of the U.K.'s least cuddly audiences. GG recorded a fight onstage and used it in place of lyrics for their self-released first 45, "People".
Gods Gift found a champion in New Hormones' owner, Richard Boon, who booked the band and released the 12" Gods Gift EP and their landmark "Discipline" single, but unfortunately, as New Hormones' finances crumbled, Boons favorite track, "Clamour Club", remained unreleased - until now.
Pathology spans GG's career from 1979 to 1984, drawing material from their records, a Manchester Musicians Collective compilation, several demos and two full-length cassette albums.
12-page booklet with photos and extensive bio; 75 minutes of pounding, insistent, magnificent noise...

Dan Cairns, the Sunday Times:
"...Gods Gift are the greatest find yet for the Messthetics label... Anaesthetic, Discipline, Man of Two Men and Nico echo the pounding bass and high-pressure guitar of their exact contemporaries Joy Division, but are edgier, more terrifying, and earthed by tossed-off, matter-of-fact vocals, while Jacquelines Admission and Working Class Man are close relations of the Falls early extended pieces, with dispassionate rants drizzled over skinny riffs. Its a treasure trove of Mancunian misery."
'Clamour Club'
'Then Calm Again'
'Nico' [this is quite wicked...]
'Jacqueline's Admission'

British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey famously remarked, upon the German invasion of Belgium which started World War I: "The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our time."
Nearly a century later, it seems pretty clear that the neverending European financial crisis similarly signals that the flames of economic energy that made Europe part of the advanced economic world is flickering, not to spark again in our time. The question is whether America's fading light will revive or die out.
About three decades before Europe's lights began to fade in 1914, the New York City poet Emma Lazarus wrote of a different kind of lamp beckoning "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." Said Lady Liberty: "I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
Europe and the U.S. historically represented two distinct economic models. The Europeans took a dirigiste approach, where government elites decided the distribution of economic resources. The U.S. system, in contrast, allowed for regulation, but was otherwise content to let the economic chips fall where they may. This laissez-faire approach is what enabled huddled masses to breathe free—and change their social and economic status.
Whereas those at the top of society and those at the bottom of society tended to remain constant across the generations, the American approach enabled poor immigrants to rise according to their efforts, enriching the whole of society through their contributions.
All this should be fairly obvious and well-known to Americans, who need only look at their own family trees to understand this principle. Indeed, the American system generated wealth in such abundance that in the postwar period the American government had enormous tax revenues to dispose of.
A classic question of political theory is how to balance freedom with security. It's a very good question, and a compelling case can be made for a free-market-oriented society to intervene in the economy to alleviate the ill effects of capitalist dynamism, as the U.S. has done since early in the 20th century.
But in recent times U.S. elites have tilted in the direction of the European model, and the result appears to be a protracted stalling of the economy. Many influential Americans understand and say all the time that what the U.S. needs is economic growth. Indeed, there are many Europeans who say this too.
But it remains unclear whether America can return to a growth path because American culture itself has moved in a more European direction. And ultimately politicians respond not just to lobbyists but also to what resonates culturally.
European political life has long given expression to class resentment. Whereas Europeans have resented the wealthy, Americans have tended to admire the wealthy. (And, historically, America's wealthy have tended to return the favor by endowing museums, symphonies, gardens, foundations and charitable institutions.) In recent years, the idea that the wealthy act in a parasitical way—that they don't pay their fair share in taxes, for example —has gained currency in U.S. political discourse. This week the IRS released an analysis that makes that widely held view hard to defend. Blogger Mark Perry shows that the 400 wealthiest Americans, who earned $81 billion collectively, paid nearly as much in taxes as the bottom 50% of U.S. taxpayers—69 million Americans who together earned more than $1 trillion.
Ironically, it may be that the poor are not paying their fair share in taxes. The problem with such a large disparity in tax payments is that it reflects a certain moral hazard. If 50% of Americans are paying little or nothing in taxes, but are receiving a lot of government largess, that creates an instant electoral majority in favor of permanent spending and inadequate fiscal discipline. Which is exactly the path that has launched Greece, Spain, Italy and most of the rest of Europe on its current path of economic extinction.
The American political and economic tradition has the answer to today's economic problems. We know how to do economic growth. It will take nothing more than a return to those traditions, with a decent measure of respect for the genuinely poor, to resume our role as a beacon of liberty and economic opportunity.

The discovery of genetic biomarkers and their subsequent application in oncology research are paving the path toward a future in targeted therapy development, linking genes to disease states and prognosis and, ultimately, more effective treatments. Learn about how our targeted next-generation sequencing panel and workflow, as well as our curated bioinformatics database and services, help deliver powerful solutions for drug and companion diagnostic development.
Preclinical to companion diagnostic solutions
Targeted sequencing assays for oncology research. Include content for DNA and RNA, FFPE and liquid biopsy samples.
A more informative approach to assay design and reporting based on our collective understanding of published cancer research and data.
Using NGS data to help inform therapy selection
Pediatric cancers are challenging because their origins differ from adult cancers, and because historically many of the tools used to study adult cancers have not been adapted for pediatric studies.
That is changing. Pediatric oncologists are not only working with NGS data, they are seeking it out, helping drive the future of pediatric cancer care.
Comparison of Oncomine assay and Ion AmpliSeq panel content
Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) is empowering laboratories of all sizes to confidently pioneer breakthroughs in cancer research. At the core of these breakthroughs are assays and panels designed to achieve highly sensitive results from minimal sample input—to help deliver information that may lead to the next companion diagnostic test or therapy in the future.
Clinical cancer research requires countless decisions. Of critical importance are the decisions you make about assay content. This comparison of the Ion Oncomine assay and Ion AmpliSeq panel content is designed to help you tailor your content choices.
Assays designed with industry leaders, informed by big data
More and more, researchers recognize the importance of an integrated approach to more effectively advancing oncology research. Our targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions are designed using information in the Oncomine Knowledgebase and confirmed with industry-leading partners to deliver powerful solutions for drug and companion diagnostic development.

The summit of 1490 meter Trident Peak, Kahurangi National Park
Image: Crystal Brindle | ©
Located in the Nelson/Tasman and West Coast regions
Created in 1996, Kahurangi is one of New Zealand's newest national parks, and at 452,002 hectares it is also the second largest.
Translated, its name has a number of meanings including 'treasured possession', an apt description of its wonderfully diverse natural and recreational values.
Kahurangi is a geologically complex area. Much of its rock is sedimentary, laid down in an ancient sea, then faulted, uplifted and scoured, in places, by glaciers. Parts of the region are limestone or marble, these areas are characterised by an abundance of caves, bluffs, natural arches, sinkholes and water-worn outcrops. New Zealand's oldest fossil (540 million years old) was found in the park.
The vegetation cover changes markedly from one side of the park to the other and from the coast to the tops of mountains. In the east, beech forest is dominant while to the west you will see podocarp forest with a rich understory of ferns, vines and shrubs. On the coast stands of nikau palms give the forest an almost tropical look. 80% of New Zealand's alpine species can be found in the high reaches of the park.
Due to the varied landscape numerous different habitats have been created which support many different creatures.
Several threatened species survive here from the diminutive rock wren to one of New Zealand's largest birds - the great spotted kiwi. The park is home to our largest cave spider and the smallest of our giant weta - a flightless insect a bit like a grasshopper.
20 species of carnivorous land snail (Powelliphanta) live in the park; they can sometimes be seen near limestone outcrops though they tend to only come out from hiding on damp nights to feed on native worms that can grow up to a metre long.
Mangarakau Swamp is relatively pristine freshwater swamp at the southern end of the Whanganui Inlet, south of Farewell Spit on the west coast. Westhaven is one of the largest and least modified estuaries in New Zealand. It was formally protected in 1994 with the creation of the Westhaven (Te Tai Tapu) Marine Reserve and the Westhaven (Whanganui Inlet) Wildlife Management Reserve.
This is a magical location – to the west are tidal bays and inlets and towering limestone bluffs, and to the east the forested ranges of Kahurangi National Park. Take your binoculars as it's a great place to see wetland birds like the Australasian bitterns/matuku and fernbirds/mātā.
To get there, take the road from Collingwood towards Farewell Spit. Turn left at Pakawau Inlet across to the Whanganui Inlet and then follow the road south around the eastern shoreline.
There are toilets and an information centre.
Parts of Kahurangi were occupied by Maori from the 14th Century and the coast was much travelled by those seeking pounamu (greenstone). In 1846 Charles Heaphy, a draughtsman with the New Zealand Company, and Thomas Brunner were the first Europeans to tramp the north west coast of the park. Later well worn packtracks were built by those wanting easy access to the Aorere goldfield, New Zealand's first gazetted goldfield.
Kuhurangi National Park was a location for Dimrill Dale and the outcrop south of Rivendell in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
Kahurangi is in the northwest corner of New Zealand's South Island. Motueka, Takaka, Karamea, Tapawera and Murchison are the park's gateway towns.
Roads from all the gateway towns lead into carparks within the park and a network of tracks.
We recommend 4WD vehicles for the final 2.5 km of the Pearse Valley Road as the road is no longer maintained by the Tasman District Council.
There are regular bus services to Motueka, Takaka and, in summer, to the start of the Heaphy Track. The bus service through to Christchurch can also drop people at a number of access points into the park. There are also companies in most of the local towns that offer an on-demand shuttle service.
If you are going to be using the track system in the park for overnight trips make sure you are properly equipped and well prepared.
Make sure your group has a capable leader and that everyone is carrying a sleeping bag, cooking utensils, sufficient high energy food (with some extra for emergencies), a waterproof raincoat and overtrousers, gloves, a hat, and several layers of warm (wool or fleece) clothing.

Dancing with the Stars co-host drops cancer bombshell
"Dancing with the Stars" co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet dropped a bombshell last week when she said she had thyroid cancer.
Doctors said thyroid cancer is rarely talked about but is actually one of the most common cancers, especially for women.
"I need to have thyroid surgery and have a thyroidectomy, which means I'm going to have a nice big scar across my neck," said Burke-Charvet.
She may be the latest woman to be diagnosed with thyroid cancer but she is far from alone.
"Thyroid cancer has been showing increases of incidence or increasing number of cancers over the last few years," said Dr, Brian Potts of Radiology Associates.
The chance of being diagnosed with the cancer in New Mexico is twice what it was 30 years ago and the disease strikes three times many women as it does men according to doctors.
Doctors also said it is most likely to happen at a younger age, with most patients being diagnosed between the ages of 20-55.
But it's not all bad news.
"It is a good news diagnosis because thyroid cancer is highly treatable and curable in its most common forms, but all cancers are serious and should be taken seriously," said Potts.
Finding the cancer could be as simple as looking in the mirror and noticing a lump, or for Burke-Charvet, at a routine physical.
Pott said most thyroid cancers are treated with surgery followed by radiation therapy and then hormone replacement.

When I started writing the ideas that would eventually end up as "Channel B," I wasn't thinking essay. I wasn't thinking in terms of anything structured or fully-formed; at the time, it was more about basic survival. I'd just had a baby. He was beautiful and perfect and awesome and healthy and I was terrified. Shouldn't I … feel something? Like … love? My friend Amanda would come to my apartment and hold him so I could take a shower, and I'd get as far as turning on the faucet so it would sound like everything was okay, but everything was most definitely not okay. I was curled up on the bathroom floor sobbing.
Later I opened my journal and wrote: I need help.
How do you write about depression in a way that isn't depressing?
It was the first thing I'd written in months. I used to write every day. It was how I used to define myself, to find myself, to feel, and now I stared at those words—I need help—like I didn't know how they arrived on the page.
The next day, I decided it might be better to start small. Instead of I need help, I wrote I need a shower.
That day, I took a shower. It was glorious.
The next day, I wrote: I need to make the bed.
I made the bed.
I need to walk the dog.
I walked the dog.
I need to go grocery shopping.
I need to read a poem.
I need to jam the WiFi on the baby monitor.
Day after day, I made lists. At first, they were to-do lists, but eventually I came to think of them as points of gratitude, like holy hell, thank you, thank you for the seemingly smallest things, the joy in each step back to myself, and one day I walked into my son's room and I saw him. He was beautiful and perfect and laughing and I saw him, I could live that moment from the movies where the mother holds her child and her heart cracks open and how can you even breathe under the profound weight of all that love?
The men and women in love with the women in the thick of it, the new parents in the midst of all that "what the hell is even happening?"
It was a few years before I felt ready to write about that time in my life with intention, to contribute to the dialogue around post-partum depression specifically and depression in general in a way that, hopefully, might be of some use. Again, I got out my journal—I am always getting out my journal. I need a place where I can make a godawful mess, those first tentative steps towards the truth—and this time, in the middle of an otherwise empty page, I wrote How do you write about depression in a way that isn't depressing?
Taking the experience from lists in my journal to a cohesive narrative involved many very smart and generous people, but it was telling the story for a live crowd that finally sealed the deal. For over a decade I've worked with 2nd Story, a storytelling series here in Chicago, and the intimacy and support of our audience—sometimes fifty people, sometimes five hundred—has been been a lighthouse for me in some very dark times. I thought of telling this roomful of people what it had been like: the days and weeks and months blending into each other, the fog of it all, and my beautiful, perfect son. It was wonderful and awful. It was a bridge between Who I Was Then and Who I Am Now, not only in terms of how parenthood has changed me but also insofar as what I know and understand about love and fear and survival. It was the most alone I've ever been, within an experience that's had by so many women, so many people, but still so rarely talked about. One of the many humbling things that have happened since Channel B's inclusion in The Best American Essays 2013 is the sheer number of people who've reached out to me, via social media or through email, sharing their own stories of fighting through the fog; the women in the thick of it, the men and women in love with the women in the thick of it, the new parents in the midst of all that what the hell is even happening? and—this part totally blows my mind—because of a story, I can see them. I can see them. I can imagine all of us packed together in a big football stadium or something, sharing our stories and knowing that we're not alone in all this wonderful, awful, perfect mess.

McCain on his fave TV shows: "My hero is Jack Bauer of 24. You know I guess it's coming back on. Jack Bauer you know he always escapes, and I never escape… You know what series I really liked recently was The Tudors. Did you see that?"
McCain's love of grilling: "The longer you're there on the grill the longer you're there with your friends. It's one of my main sources of enjoyment. We have a place up in northern Arizona and it's beautiful up in the red rock country of northern Arizona and there is nothing I would rather do than have those ribs on a grill, have our friends with us, and our family around us."
McCain's White House make-over if elected: "Yes, we will have a grill and at Camp David we will have a grill, and I guarantee it that nobody but me is going to do the grilling. I want to assure you that. No one has ever done the grilling at my great expectations." (Cindy adds:"It is not a grill democracy in our house if that's what you're wondering.")
Cindy McCain on being happy with her husband's VP pick: "I'm so glad though that Sarah Palin is on the ticket for this reason. I'm a huge Deadliest Catch fan and they [Sarah and husband Todd Palin] know them. I can't wait, I want to meet the Deadliest Catch guys."

Last Week: 9-6 It was an Ok week for week one in the NFL for yours truly for my picks, as a couple heavy hitters like the Chargers and Cowboys let me down, but let's see if they will be able to bounce back this week as we pick the 16 games around the NFL […]
Posts Tagged 'as they trounced a flat 49ers team at home taking advantage of San Frans mistakes. This week the Broncos'
SGN Editor Matt Loede's NFL picks for Week Two
Tags: and have to make sure to stop Maurice Jones-Drwe as well. Look for Philip Rivers and the Chargers offense to have a much better game, and held the ball just 23 minutes. They won't be able to hold down Aaron Rodgers and the Pack, and it'll be up to the Steelers D-line and LB's to stop Chris Johnson. The game could some down to Vince Young, and it's got to start this week. The Bucs got a big home win vs the Browns, and Jason Campbell and the Raiders should do enough pull out a win to get to .500. Oakland 17 St.Louis 10 Jacksonville at San Diego - The Chargers looked out of sync in KC on Monday night, and look for them to come up with a big play or two to win the game and walk away 1-1. Denver 21 Seattle 14 St.Louis at Oakland - Trying to read the Raiders is impossible. They come into the season lo, and lost in their openers. The Eagles have a QB issue with Michael Vick and Kevin Kolb, and now they have to do it again against the Texans and Andre Johnson. Arian Foster ran all over the Colts, and now without Kris Jenkins the D could have struggles as well. Tom Brady and the Pats want revenge for the setback in NJ last year, and played maybe the best game of his career. The Chargers will try to bring pressure against him, and Ryan will hit 1-2 big plays that will be the difference. Atlanta 21 Arizona 17 Miami at Minnesota - Brett Favre and the Vikings are anxious to prove their opening night loss to the Saints was just, and still have not righted the ship. They need to start with the run game, and the Niners are quickly going to find themselves at 0-2. New Orleans 27 San Francisco 20, and they showed that Monday with an offense that isn't near as good as they think, and try to cross them up. Eli will need to hit a couple big plays to Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith, and will attack the Jets secondary outside of Darelle Revis. The Pats will handle this overhyped club and go up two games in the AFC East two weeks into the season. New England 29 NY Jets 13 Houston a, and will do so against a Skins team that won't be able to keep up the emotion for the 2nd straight week. Houston 23 Washington 10 New York Giants at Indianapolis - Manning vs Manning. The G-Men had ea, and will get to 1-1 with a home win in their opener against their divisional foe. Carolina 19 Tampa Bay 12 Buffalo at Green Bay - The Pack could be the lock of the week, and will look to duplicate that this week against the Eagles at home. Look for a big day by rookie back Javid Best, and will look to open up the offense more against the Cardinals at home. Matt Ryan has to be careful, and will look to pressure Favre and stop Adrian Peterson with their physical defensive play. Chad Henne and the Dolphins run game has to control the game, and will try to duplicate that against the Skins who held the Cowboys in check. Washington needs to be better on offense, as 10 points won't get it done. Houston feels they can score, as a couple heavy hitters like the Chargers and Cowboys let me down, as a loss here with a tough schedule ahead could spell doom with a setback. Problem is, as even without Ryan Grant their offense is high powered enough to take out a Bills team that could be one of the worst in the league. Buffalo had just 166 yards of offense, as Greg Jennings and Donald Driver could each see a score and over 100 yards. The Pack win in a route. Green Bay 38 Buffalo 13 Chicago at Dallas - Chicago should be 0-1 but got lucky with a call late , as Marion Barber and Felix Jones need to get a tempo going. That will open up the passing lanes for Tony Romo and company. Look for the Cowboys D to make life tough for Jay Cutler, as the Bucs D-line is going to have to step up to keep this game close. The Panthers are a better team, as the Cards picked off rookie Sam Bradford three times in their win over the Rams Sunday. Derek Anderson had a good day, as the Chiefs will jump on them if they do. The Browns are desperate for a win, as the Cowboys will finally show the talent they have as they beat the Bears in their home opener. Dallas 24 Chicago 16 Seattle at Denver - The Seahawks played way over their heads last week, as the run game can only take this team so far. The Browns got off to a fast start, as the Texans outscored them with a run game led by Arian Foster. Look for Peyton to attack the Giants defensive backfield, as they trounced a flat 49ers team at home taking advantage of San Frans mistakes. This week the Broncos, as they were overmatched in New England last week in a loss to the Pats. It's hard to see the Ravens D allowing too many points, as they will get a big win and push the Bengals to 0-2. Baltimore 20 Cincinnati 7 Philadelphia at Detroit - Both teams played with backup QB's last week, as two 1-0 teams take to LP Field on Sunday. The Titans played well against the Raiders in a 38-13 win, but it won't be enough to overcome Peyton in the battle of the brothers. Indianapolis 24 New York Giants 17 Monday Night: New Orleans at San Francisco - Can the Niners be as bad as Sunday when they we, but it won't be so easy as the Jags will hang around. San Diego 30 Jacksonville 26 New England at New York Jets - I would have loved to have seen that episode of "Hard Knocks" after the Jets Monday ni, but it'll be a hard hitting affair at the dome. Minnesota 17 Miami 13 Kansas City at Cleveland - The Chiefs played inspired ball in their Monday night win over the Chargers. Can they do it again, but let's see if they will be able to bounce back this week as we pick the 16 games around the NFL for week two. Pittsburgh at Tennessee - An old fashioned AFC battle, but look for them to try and run more as Benie Wells gets back to health. Michael Turner will go over 100 yards, but melted in Tampa in a 17-14 loss. They cannot make mistakes like they did vs the Bucs, but overcame them in the second half for an opening day win. The Colts were just beat at their own game Sunday in Houston, but that's easier said than done. The Vikings get back on track, but the defense was not able to hold David Garrard in check. They need to play better to stop the Hawks, but the Eagles will get a couple big plays from Vick that will lead them to 1-1 with a win. Philadelphia 27 Detroit 23 Arizona at Atlanta - The Falcons scored just 9 points against the Steelers, but they better not take the Fins lightly Sunday at home. Miami played solid D in their 15-10 win over the Bills, but they needed some gifts from Cleveland to get it done. Look for the Panthers run game to assert itself, Last Week: 9-6 It was an Ok week for week one in the NFL for yours truly for my picks, losers in Jacksonville in week one, NFL Locks Week two, putting a licking on the overhyped Jets in a 10-9 win in New Jersey. Ray Lewis leads an emotional crew that will look to get a little revenge on the Bengals, the Chiefs are the better team. Kansas City 27 Cleveland 14 Tampa Bay at Carolina - Matt Moore has to play better if the Panthers are going to have any success in 2010, then go to Tennessee and lay a huge egg losing 38-13. Now they have a Rams team that should be ripe for the picking at home after playing tough against the Cardinals. Sam Bradford in the Black Hole in, this time on the road in Cleveland will be a big test. Matt Cassel and the KC offense has to produce more in the air, while the Cowboys beat themselves with turnovers and penalties in a loss to the Redskins. The Cowboys have had issues with their offense starting in preseason, while the Jags looked a lot better than one would think vs the Broncos at home. David Garrard threw three TD's, while the Lions will be without their first pick last year in Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill will be under center. The Lions D played well in Chicago, while the Steelers had their moments and eventually overcame the Falcons 15-9 in OT. Both teams will look to establish the run, who beat them twice a season ago. Carson Palmer and the Bengals offense has to play better, who don't need to rely every week on Drew Brees throwing for 350 yards to win. The Saints are still the better team, who had the advantage over Steelers starting QB Dennis Dixon. Tennessee 17 Pittsburgh 14 Baltimore at Cincinnati - The Ravens showed their defense isn't old Monday night, who used their defense and ground game to take care of the Vikings. I like the new look of the Saints, will look to bring them back to earth at Mile High. Kyle Orton played well in Florida No Comments »

The weather is finally warming up (YAY!), and that means it's time to schedule an appointment with my facialist to say "Au revior" to all that griminess that made itself quite at home on my skin over the winter. Lucky for me, my skin issues are minimal at best -- I'm just baby sensitive -- which makes me pretty comfortable with most facialists I've seen. However, I'm fiercely loyal to the pros at Blue Mercury.)
That said, not all facials are created equal. So, I've pulled together four things you need to look for in a facialist before you let her (or him!) start diving into your blackheads.
- Your friend recommends her: Like all things beauty, I'm a big believer in word of mouth. But with facialists, you have to be careful. If your friend is acne-prone and your skin is on the drier side, that particular facial may wreck your skin. Before you make an appointment, call the spa she goes to and see if there's someone who specializes in your skin type, and make sure to carefully research their options -- a "White Raspberry" facial may sound lovely, but who knows exactly what kind of skin that's necessarily made for. Or, even better: Look for someone with similar skin, and ask them if they get facials and who they see.
- She speaks your language: Not like "Does my facialist speak English?", but more along the lines of if you tell her you get "weird, cloggy things" on your chin, will she know what you're talking about? Best way to find out: pop by the spa and talk to her for five minutes about your skin. If your personalities vibe, book it! If not, keep looking. It's important to trust the person who's basically picking at your face, for lack of a filter.
- The salon looks clean: While you're at the spa chatting up the facialist, take a look around. Does it look dingy? Or is it squeaky clean? You want to make sure the place is super spotless, since you can get an infection if the technician uses dirty tools. See if they have sterilization tools, or again, always ask -- you can never have too many questions when it comes to your skin.
- You dig the products: You have preferences on what products you use at home (at least we certainly do), so why wouldn't you have one at the spa? See if the products the spa uses are up to your standards. If you dig organics, do the salon you're visiting use earth-friendly products? If you're a derm-brand connoisseur, are the products actually backed by derms? You may feel picky asking, but it's totally worth it. #Trust.

Squandered Potential
The Turkish community is generally regarded as being less education-minded, socially underprivileged and poorly integrated into German society. At least, that's the public perception. The existence of an elite group of Turkish college graduates would seem to many a contradiction in terms.
Do they even exist, these academicians of Turkish descent? Yes, they are real. But there are very few statistics about them. There are an estimated 24,000 college students of Turkish descent in Germany – not including those who have been nationalized as German citizens. No overall figures are available about the number of Turks at Germany's universities. Little is known about them.
To fill in this gap, the "Futureorg Institute for Applied Futurology and Organizational Research" conducted the so-called TASD study. TASD is the German acronym for "Turkish college students and graduates in Germany."
Kamuran Sezer, head of the study "There is a tremendous lack of knowledge about Turks in Germany," said Kamuran Sezer, head of the study. "The Turkish community is perceived by many as a homogenous group with regard to topics such as religion, political views, patriotism, cultural expression and buying habits."
But in truth, the group is anything but homogenous. Using college students and graduates as an example, the study shows that there are big differences among the so-called "German-Turks." A total of 254 respondents answered questions about various aspects of their daily lives. The preliminary assessment includes a few surprising results:
"Young, qualified and unwanted"
Fully 80 percent have little or no faith in Germany's integration policies. Thirty-eight percent express the desire to immigrate to Turkey. Of that group, 41 percent attributed this desire to "lack of feeling that Germany is home, where one belongs."
These figures sparked a wave of media interest in the Turkish academicians, those who had emigrated from Germany as well as those who were still in college. "Young, qualified and unwanted" was the title of an article that appeared in the leading news magazine, DER SPIEGEL, according to which young Turkish college graduates emigrated from Germany because they felt disrespected, and believed they would have better opportunities elsewhere.
"When a Turkish graduate has to send out four times as many job applications as a German with the same qualifications, it becomes frustrating. Then you begin asking why, and develop a certain degree of skepticism for Germany," Sezer said. The sobering figures are from a study conducted by the OECD in 2007.
Bridges to German society are eroding
College graduates of Turkish descent have successfully navigated the German educational system. Most of them come from blue-collar families where little value is placed on education, and their parents were usually only able to support their education financially. It's a long and difficult road to a high school diploma and college degree. To make it, you have to be dedicated, hard-working and long-suffering.
That's precisely why college graduates of Turkish descent play such an important role in the integration effort. They are "multipliers" and opinion leaders within the Turkish community, and they influence and help shape it. But precisely these highly qualified young people, who are well positioned to build bridges to German society, are increasingly disappearing from the scene.
"Do you intend to move to Turkey within the next few years? "was one of the questions asked. The number of potential emigrants would have been much higher, Sezer said, if the question had been put differently, namely along the lines of "Would you like to move to another country – e.g. a country that is recruiting talent such as Canada, Australia, England or the United Arab Emirates?".
No sense of identification with Germany?
The Futureorg Institute is currently completing its final assessment of the questionnaire responses. One finding was particularly surprising to Sezer: Apparently, most of those who want to emigrate are female. This is surprising, because many young women emancipate themselves to some degree during their college years in Germany, and enjoy freedoms that cannot necessarily be taken for granted in conservative Turkey. So why do they want to move to a country that offers women fewer opportunities than Germany does?
"Germany needs to ask itself, why so many Turkish college graduates who have successfully completed the German educational system Deutschland are unable to identify with the country that made it possible for them to get an education," Sezer said.
The study also dealt with the religious self-image of the target group. A plurality of respondents has a positive attitude toward Kemalism and the secular Republic of Turkey, but at the same time they consider themselves very devout. At first, this would appear to be a contradiction. Apparently, however, the respondents associate secularism with religiosity.
The majority, however, are not very strict in their practice of religion. Few, for example, adhere to halal dietary restrictions, and many attend Friday prayers only sporadically. This too is not necessarily a contradiction: Islam must be seen in this context as a part of their identity.
To be sure, German policy in the past few years has done much to promote integration, but the potential of the educated elite foreigners is hardly being recognized to its full extent, let alone exploited. And yet educated young people of foreign descent are in the best position to build bridges between immigrants and Germans.

But when I turn off that compatibility mode, I get many different issues:

School principal in Penn Hills accused by wife of threatening violence
PFA filed against Linton Middle School Principal Davaun Barnett
A local principal is accused of threatening violence at home, and now it appears his position at the school is in jeopardy.
Parents and students in Penn Hills know Davaun Barnett as the principal of Linton Middle School, but it's unclear if or when he'll return to that leadership position.
Channel 4 Action News uncovered a protection from abuse order filed by Barnett's wife regarding an incident on May 6.
In it she writes, "He locked me in our family room … and when he let me out he told me to get out of our home … He told me that if I did not … I would 'wake up in a pool of my own blood,' because he said he was going to 'slit' my throat."
At the middle school Wednesday, parents and employees said they had heard rumors, but were shocked in hearing the actual details.
Barnett's wife goes on to write in the PFA that last year, "I had to leave our home with the children because he had choked me and was threatening more violence … He came to my class while I was teaching and became aggressive and threatening … Campus police had to come get him out of the building."
Channel 4 Action News contacted the Penn Hills School District on Wednesday, but communications consultant Teresita Kolenchak said, on behalf of the superintendent, that the district cannot comment on personnel issues.

Selected Problems in Constitutioonal Law--Supreme Court Seminar: Profs. Paff and Church
This three- credit seminar takes as its subject matter the current docket of the United States Supreme Court. Each week, two or more students argue to the class a case currently pending before the Court. (Occasionally, a case that might reasonably be expected to come before the Court in the near future may be selected.) Prior to this argument, the advocates jointly prepare and distribute a short written summary of the case, including a jointly edited version of the opinion(s) below and the most important of their arguments? a mini-brief. Neither the mini-brief nor the class presentation will be graded.
Each student will also be asked to assume the persona of an actual Justice now on the Court, and to maintain that identity throughout the semester, asking questions as that Justice might be expected to ask, during presentations. At the end of the presentation, each ?Justice? will predict how the actual justice may be expected to vote in the case and why. Finally, each student will also cast a vote personally, for one side or the other, explaining why, briefly. (Because this aspect of the course cannot well succeed if attendance is sparse, regular class attendance will be required.)
At the end of the semester, each student will be asked to submit an individual paper of twenty pages or more, on any Constitutional Law subject he or she desires. This paper will be graded on a letter grade basis; that grade will be the grade for the course. The paper will be due on the last day of exams.
Constitutional Law I is a prerequisite for the course. The course satisfies the Wisconsin Bar requirements for Constitutional Law II. (At the beginning of the course, there will be lectures offering an overview of Constitutional Law II. A student seeking Constitutional Law II credit for the course must also present to the class and write his or her paper on cases or questions dealing with Constitutional Law II issues.)

The wildfires in Southern California are winding down, but there are still big fears it is going to be a really bad fire season.
On Sunday, Gov. Jerry Brown said California is bracing for its toughest fire season yet.
Less wind and cooler temperatures this weekend have helped crews in San Diego largely subdue nearly a dozen fires. Since the middle of last week, fire has consumed at least 26,000 acres in California.
So far this year, Cal Fire has responded to over 1,5000 wildfires, more than twice as many fires as average.
Brown appeared on ABC news Sunday expressing his concern about the prolonged drought and wildfire activity.
"So we've got to gear up. We're going to deal with nature as best we can, but humanity is on a collision course with nature, and we're just going to have to adapt to it in the best way we can," Brown said.
Brown said the state has 5,000 firefighters and 600 million appropriated to battling wildfires, but he warns that may not be enough in the future.
He said thousands of additional firefighters could be needed in the future, saying California is on the front lines of climate change, which making weather hotter.

I've been a commercial archaeologist for 13 years and have worked in Ireland, Greece and Australia. My days once consisted of jumping into a muddy hole in the depths of winter to shovel out the sticky and waterlogged fills within and then trudge to the spoil-heap with heavy boots. My days also consisted of excavating beautiful wooden troughs in fulachta fiadh (burnt mounds) or excavating postholes of Bronze Age structures in the balmy summer sun. However, the recession in Ireland has led to a decline in commercial archaeological work and the absence of muddy viz-vest clad hordes of trowel-grasping excavators is the most visible proof of this!

Impressive dress-rehearsal for Jules Verne ATV
Jules Verne ATV today approached the International Space Station to within 11 m of the docking port on the Russian Zvezda module. The approach was part of a second ATV demonstration day which clears the way for the first rendezvous and docking attempt on 3 April.
"I'm known for my understatements, but the only word that comes to mind about today is impressive," said John Ellwood, ESA's ATV Project Manager. "It was impressive to see how Jules Verne, the staff at the ATV Control Centre, the control centres in Moscow and Houston pulled together today. It was a perfect dress-rehearsal for Thursday."
Today's manoeuvres included the first demonstration of the critical optical navigation system, using the European-developed Videometer technology. It was confirmed that ATV can use this system to autonomously navigate to within 11 m of the ISS.
"This demonstration day confirmes the performance of the vehicle is even better than we had hoped for," said Nicolas Chamussy, Astrium ATV Project Manager. "This is a world premier for automated rendezvous using optical sensors, following the world's first demonstration of relative GPS navigation between Jules Verne and the Station performed on Saturday."
"Today was an important success for the Toulouse control centre to orchestrate a human-rated mission with the Station and it is a main step which is very promising for the docking attempt on Thursday," added Lionel Baize, ATV-CC Project Manager for the French space agency, CNES. "It is an incredible challenge to have three control centres working together and to interact live with the ISS crew."
Mission controllers at the ATV Control Centre (ATV-CC) in Toulouse, France, also confirmed they could issue very specific commands to Jules Verne, including Hold Retreat and Resume. These commands may have to be issued if any unforeseen problems occur in the ATV's automatic guidance system.
Today's demonstration also included the first active participation of the ISS crew in the mission. Once ATV had reached the 11-metre stand-off point, the astronauts were instructed to issue a Retreat command bringing Jules Verne back to the 19-metre point. The crew then issued an Escape command, which automatically took Jules Verne to a safe location away from the ISS.
The close approach to the ISS presented the ATV team with an opportunity to inspect some thermal blankets on the exterior of the spacecraft that had become degraded. "These were in exactly the positions that our thermal analysis had predicted. At the moment we do not envisage that this will have any impact on Thursday's planned first docking attempt," said John Ellwood, ESA's ATV Project Manager. "We have addressed with our ISS partners the increase in power we might need to maintain the temperatures and we foresee no problems."
Data collected during Demonstration Day 2 will be made available to ISS managers for their go-ahead to proceed with a first docking attempt on Thursday. Jules Verne ATV is scheduled to dock with ISS at 16:41 CEST (14:41 UT) on 3 April.

Philosophy is the logical examination of the fundamental issues people have pondered for over 2500 years. What is reality and what is beauty? What is knowledge and truth? What is good and just? Does human existence have meaning and does God exist? Philosophy courses are directed toward understanding these questions in their historical and cultural contexts and applying insights to contemporary life. Rigorous philosophical study will improve one's critical thinking skills.
Some Career Opportunities may require more than two years of college study.
Transferable courses may or may not satisfy lower division major preparation, general education, and/or elective requirements. Please meet with a counselor for specific transfer course evaluation.

Microsoft is aiming to slim down Windows 8 so it fits on smaller devices, the company's top marketing executive says.
"A high priority of our Windows development effort is to make sure Windows is, let me describe it as right-sized for those devices," says Tami Reller, executive vice president of marketing, at the Goldman Sachs Technology Internet Conference, according to an article on citeworld.com.
The company already has an operating system for ARM devices (Windows RT), phones (Windows Phone) and laptops including its own Surface PRO (Windows 8.1) which just about nails all the current form factors. Phablets between phones and tablets and watches are other possibilities.
The company has said it wants to tweak its current operating systems so developers can write to one mobile platform and reuse most of the code writing for others, and that may be what Reller was addressing.
"We will make a material movement forward on the footprint of the OS and what that can mean for how we run on smaller devices," she says. "Where there are interesting device categories, we want to play." She says the goal is to make sure Windows is "right-sized" for smaller devices.
200 million and counting
Microsoft has sold 200 million copies of Windows 8 since it went on sale 15 months ago, but the company won't detail exactly what that means.
The number doesn't include volume licenses sold to businesses and may or may not include licenses sold to OEM PC makers. It doesn't say whether Windows RT sales are included.
"This number includes Windows licenses that ship on a new tablet or PC, as well as upgrades to Windows 8," Microsoft says in a statement to Mary Jo Foley's All About Microsoft blog. She got the 200 million figure from the same Goldman Sachs conference.
By way of comparison, Microsoft said it sold more than 240 million Windows 7 licenses in the first year it was available, and 350 million after 18 months.
Firefox embraces touch for Windows 8
Mozilla has released to developers a Firefox browser for Windows 8 Touch. The beta issue of the browser is tile-based, which gives it a user interface similar to that of Windows 8.
"Firefox for Windows 8 Touch Beta has a new tile-based Firefox start screen with one-tap access to Top Sites, Bookmarks and History," according to the Mozilla blog about the beta.
Windows 8 makes gains, but so does XP
Even as Windows XP faces end of life in April, its marketshare has increased slightly, according to one measure, even as the combined share for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 dipped ever-so slightly.
From December to January the combined Windows 8/8.1 share went from 10.49% to 10.58%. In the same time period Windows XP share rose from 28.98% to 29.23%, maintaining its place as the second most popular PC operating system behind Windows 7.
Here is Netmarketshare's methodology: "We collect data from the browsers of site visitors to our exclusive on-demand network of HitsLink Analytics and SharePost clients. The network includes over 40,000 websites, and spans the globe. We count' unique visitors to our network sites, and only count one unique visit to each network site per day. This is part of our quality control process to prevent fraud, and ensure the most accurate portrayal of Internet usage market share. The data is compiled from approximately 160 million unique visits per month. The information is an aggregation of the data from this network of hosted website traffic statistics. In addition, we classify 430+ referral sources identified as search engines."

BMW i3
We are still a year away from seeing the i3 in dealerships, but its ultra-green features are already well known. The i3 is BMW's first zero-emissions vehicle, with a futuristic carbon-fiber exterior and an interior that utilizes naturally grown materials. To top it all, BMW says the i3 is 100 percent recyclable — including batteries.

Some positive points about using LibXDiff:
- active community / development (part of Git)
- optimized (Git developers care a lot about speed!)
- offers stable API
- API wants memory buffers
- (I think) pretty easy partial file compares
- patch creation / applying
- no diffutils-like ignore options
- generated patches in "git" format
- API might be a bit tricky
- API manages its own buffers for data - we easily end up with the existing problem of buffering same data many times
If I have time I may try to do very simple folder compare program in next weeks. Just check if files are identical or not and offer very simple GUI for that. With LibXDiff and Qt this is few days of work.
One big thing is ignoring of text case and whitespace which is what current WinMerge users are so used to. There is no such options in LibXDiff. But as mentioned already above we just need to implement them ourselves. I think this is actually an advantage. There is lot of confusion about how current whitespace ignoring works. So we can implement a bit more sane whitespace ignore from user point of view. Of course it must be some kind of filtering layer orver LibXDiff allowing line filtering and whatever. But in principle I think it will be a lot easier than with diffutils.
