About Swiss eLearning Institute
The adage 'time is money' is truer than ever in our modern world. With the fast-paced lifestyle that is the hallmark of busy people these days, there is precious little time left to fit in the things we would like to do, especially with regards to education and the enhancement of personal knowledge. Traditional education courses require a commitment in time and resources that many of us don't have – not only do you have to go to class at a fixed time and place, there is also the need to consider travelling times too. All of this represents a large frame of time just for attending class, never mind the time you need for studying!

This question comes to me via a friend, and apparently has something to do with quantum physics. However, stripped of all physics, it seems interesting enough on its own. I assume someone has asked this question before, but I have no idea what to search for:
Suppose we have points $P$ and $Q$ on $S^2$, and two available rotations: specifically, I am interested in rotations by $\pi/4$ radians about the $x$ and $z$ axes. Given $\varepsilon > 0$, is there an effective algorithm for applying these rotations to $P$ so that it is within Euclidean distance $\varepsilon$ of $Q$?
Edit: Update retracted. I'm curious about the general situation as well, where the two rotations are arbitrary (and, obviously, send $P$ to a dense subset of $S^2$).

Tomorrow I will attend the first Hackergarten at Paris.
This is an event where active open-source committers can met potential contributors and help them to submit a (first) contribution.
I'll be here to help those who would like to contribute on JenkinsCI and Apache Maven.
To prepare this event I wanted to prepare a checkout of all sources and a local repository with all required dependencies to avoid to see contributors losing their time by downloading the earth with Maven or checking out Subversion (and to not be blocked if we had some network issues).
For Maven which is hosted on Subversion it is long but easy because we have a special SVN directory using svn:externals to checkout all trunks in one step : https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/trunks/
But for Jenkins with several thousands of plugins and thus git repositories it is less easy to clone all of them.
I saw that there was everything needed in github APIs but it was late and I didn't want to start to write a new script (One teacher told me a long long time ago that it was a quality to be idle – do it with less and less you'll have to maintain).
I asked on jenkinsci IRC channel and thanks to Jørgen P. Tjernø I had my reply quickly.
With Ruby 1.8 (default version on Macos) :
sudo gem install json
curl -s https://api.github.com/orgs/jenkinsci/repos | ruby -rubygems -e 'require "json"; JSON.load(STDIN.read).each {|repo| %x[git clone #{repo["ssh_url"]} ]}'
With Ruby 1.9+, the json library is by default thus you just use :
curl -s https://api.github.com/orgs/jenkinsci/repos | ruby -rjson -e 'JSON.load(STDIN.read).each {|repo| %x[git clone #{repo["ssh_url"]} ]}'
With that I'm able to clone all repositories from jenkinsci github organization.
Tomorrow I'll just have to launch a command like this to download all dependencies :
find . -name pom.xml -maxdepth 2 -exec mvn -f {} -Dmaven.repo.local=./maven-local-repo dependency:go-offline \;
Update : As there are more than 30 repositories in JenkinsCI Github organization, I had to call the clone command several times by adding ?page=X (X=2,..) after the url https://github.com/api/v2/json/repos/show/jenkinsci to grab all results pages.
Update 2 : We can also use per_page to increase the number of entries returned (max=100). Example (ruby 1.8) :
curl -s "https://github.com/api/v2/json/repos/show/jenkinsci?per_page=100&page=2" | ruby -rubygems -e 'require "json"; JSON.load(STDIN.read)["repositories"].each {|repo| %x[git clone #{repo["url"]} ]}'

House files suit against Attorney General Eric Holder over documents
WASHINGTON -- The Republican-run House has asked a federal court to enforce a subpoena against Attorney General Eric Holder. The subpoena demands that Holder produce records related to a bungled gun-tracking operation known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The failure of Holder and House Republicans to work out a deal on the documents led to a vote in June that held the attorney general in contempt of Congress.
The House took separate votes to hold the attorney general in criminal and civil contempt. The civil contempt finding led to Monday's lawsuit.
Republicans cited Holder's refusal to hand over documents that could explain why the Obama administration initially denied that the gun-walking tactic was used.
The Justice Department previously said that it would not bring criminal charges against its boss.

When I was young, I spent my money on video games and baseball cards like so many kids. But perhaps, unlike other kids, I spent it on something else: stamps.
From Sandra Day O'Connor to Colin Powell, I wrote an array of people I respected and looked up to. I'd ask them questions. Depending on the person, stuff like Did you always know what you wanted to be? What's the hardest pitch for you to hit? Did you know your actions would inspire a social movement?
It was my first experience at interviewing—a very time consuming and old fashioned process that had to weather rain or shine. Sometimes, these prominent individuals answered my questions. Sometimes they simply sent me their autograph. And Ray Bradbury, he sent me holiday wishes.
As a kid, I always admired Ray Bradbury—even before actually reading Bradbury. My mom was a huge Bradbury fan, and would talk about his books and short stories. My imagination ran wild with tales of tattoos coming to life and a society that burned books.
When I finally read Mr. Bradbury, I was a fan, too.
As a fan, who actually attempts to reach out, you are setting yourself for disappointment. But Bradbury did not. I never met Ray Bradbury—and he didn't have to reply to my letter. But he did and wished me a Happy 1994, in a note titled "A Christmas Wish 1993". This wasn't a wish, it was a present—his writings were also presents that people will be opening and discovering for decades to come.
Honestly, I don't remember what I asked him, if anything. I might've said I enjoyed his books. Maybe I thanked him for his work. Maybe not.
This week, Ray Bradbury passed away at the age of 91. With his passing, I can't help but feel that all this years later, I should've written him back, at least expressing my overdue gratitude for the gesture—a small one heaped on a career of large gestures and big ideas. This small one wasn't something he had to do, but he did anyway. Thank you, Mr. Bradbury, thank you. For everything.

*SPOILER ALERT!* If you prefer not to have the appearance of The Lizard from The Amazing-Spider-Man spoiled for you, stop reading NOW! *SPOILER ALERT!*
As goofy as the photos above may be, sadly, they aren't responsible for my rapidly darkening mood in regards to the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man movie.
It's funny actually, despite being a reboot of a major Marvel franchise, amid all the buzz surrounding The Avengers, Man of Steel, and The Dark Knight Rises, the production of The Amazing Spider-Man has been somewhat of an enigma as of late.
Unlike fuckin' Turn Off the Dark…
*Shiver* Spider-Man villains putting on a fashion show… The stuff of nightmares I tells yah'.
Truth be told, aside from the infamous "Mirrors Edge trailer," and a quick article I did a few months back regarding the new costume design, The Amazing Spider-Man has been almost entirely off my radar.
Sure, I grit my teeth a little over the prospect of rebooting a barely 10 year old film series, however outside of that, I really could care less.
That being said, the one thing that could've got me excited about this movie, has just been ruined by a leaked image of a goddamn Pez dispenser.
Allow me to explain.
In my youth, animals were one of my greatest passions, in particular lizards and other reptiles.
At one point the Komodo Dragon was my favorite animal, prompting me to do a number of school projects based around them.
I used to flip through my (vast) collection of Zoobooks just about every fucking day, in particular the reptile and special edition dinosaur issues.
Godzilla was, and still is, one of my biggest heroes.
And when it came to comic book characters, in particular Spider-Man villains, you can sure as hell bet The Lizard was my favorite.
In truth, he was kind of a lame character, particularly in regards to his power set, but even so, I've always liked him regardless.
That being said, seeing Dylan Baker cast as Dr. Curt Connors (The Lizard, dumbass) in Spider-Man 2 and 3 was cute in the sense that it paid homage to the greater Marvel universe, (something that has since become widespread) however I'm not gonna' lie, it sucked some serious balls being teased with the prospect of a Lizard story arc over 2 movies only to end up with the lame-ass, cluttered finale of Spider-Man 3.
Imagine my surprise when it was announced that The Lizard was going to be a/the(?) villain in The Amazing Spider-Man.
Being a Lizard fan, my initial reaction was that of:
"Fuck yeah!"
Despite boasting some decent acting credentials, I still think it's funny that Welshman Rhys Ifans AKA the Welsh guy from Little Nicky and the Welsh kicker from The Replacements, is going to be playing Curt Connors.
By the way, did I mention he was Welsh?
Seriously though, I really don't have much of a frame of reference as to whether he'd make a good Lizard, but oddly enough, it's not him that has me less than thrilled about The Amazing Spider-Man.
Which brings us back to the aforementioned Pez dispenser:
While it may not be an official rendering of the character's design for the upcoming film, or even a reflection of what the character's final appearance, given the possibility that his transformation in the film may in fact be done progressively instead of all at once; the fact of the matter is:
This looks like fuckin' garbage.
Seriously man, aside from the green skin, the features of the character don't even look reptilian to me.
Last time I checked, reptiles, lizards in particular, are noted for their rigid facial structure and beady eyes.
This fuckin' lizard has his eyes on the front of his face, and doesn't even have so much as a goddamn snout.
I know they were probably trying to humanize him for dramatic purposes, or more likely, made him more human shaped to make animating his lip movements somewhat easier, but even so; this ain't the fuckin' Lizard.
Jesus fuck man, even if you were to put all of my "science-y" gripes aside, at the end of the day this design looks just plain fuckin' boring.
Probably the worst part though, is the fact that this thing bears an uncanny resemblance to the Goombas from the Super Mario movie:
And we all know how well that little venture worked out, right?
To whoever designed this Austrian dispenser of confectionery FAIL, congratulations, you have succeeded in making a superhuman lizard-man look boring.
My guess is they recruited the guy that did the Time Ninja cover to do the concept art for The Lizard:

US employers advertise more jobs in October
U.S. employers advertised more jobs in October than September, a hopeful sign that hiring could pick up in the coming months.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that job openings rose by 128,000 to 3.68 million. That's the most since June.
The number of available jobs is slowly climbing back to the roughly 4 million that were advertised each month before the recession began in December 2007.
With nearly 12.3 million people unemployed in October, there were 3.3 unemployed people, on average, competing for each open job. That's the lowest ratio since November 2008. Still, in a healthy economy, the ratio is roughly 2 to 1.
In one positive sign, the number of available construction jobs jumped to 130,000, from 82,000 in September. That's the most in more than four years. The housing market is slowly recovering and builders are breaking ground on more single-family homes.
Job openings also rose in manufacturing, retail, and hotels and restaurants. Professional and business services, a category that includes engineers and accountants as well as temporary jobs, also posted more openings.
Companies kept creating jobs in November at a modest pace. Employers added 146,000 net jobs last month, the government said Friday in a separate report. That nearly matches the average gains of about 150,000 jobs per month that the economy has generated all year.
Economists were encouraged by the increase because many feared that Superstorm Sandy and business concerns about looming tax increases and spending cuts in the year-end "fiscal cliff" would drag on hiring.
The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, its lowest level in four years, down from 7.9 percent in October. But the drop occurred because more people gave up looking for work. The government only counts people as unemployed if they are actively searching for jobs.
The department said that it could not quantify what impact, if any, Sandy had on October job openings. Sandy made landfall on Oct. 29, closing down businesses and cutting off power, particularly in the Northeast.
Job openings in the Northeast actually rose slightly in October, the department said.
Tuesday's report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, looked at total hiring, layoffs and quits. The monthly employment report released Friday measures net hiring and unemployment.

The ivory-billed woodpecker lives!
New book tells the story of the rediscovery
About the Book
The ivory-billed woodpecker ghost bird of the swamp. Big, beautiful, iconic, and mysterious, the bird is a symbol of everything that has gone wrong with our relationship to the environment. First plundered by nineteenth-century collectors and then a victim of massive habitat destruction, the bird has been sought for decades by those trying to determine whether this remarkable species still exists. Their findings have been met with ridicule and scorn; since the early twentieth century, most of the scientific world has believed that the ivory-billed woodpecker is extinct.
But when author Tim Gallagher set out to write
The Grail Bird
, he mounted his own quest for the elusive bird and discovered the amazing truth: the ivory-billed woodpecker lives!
The Grail Bird
goes behind recent headlines to tell the story of Tim Gallagher's pursuit and discovery of the bird. Editor in chief of
Living Bird
, the flagship publication of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Gallagher couldn't (and wouldn't) accept the idea that the ivory-bill was gone forever. He set out to learn everything he could about the bird, tracking down and interviewing dozens of people who claimed to have seen it, reading everything he could find, and finally hitting the swamps himself to explore potential ivory-bill habitats across the South. An irrefutable sighting by Gallagher and a colleague in February 2004 quickly led to the largest search ever mounted to find a rare bird, as researchers fanned out across the bayou to document this most iconic of birds.
"You never know when you get up in the morning what earth-shaking event might take place and change your life forever," Gallagher writes. For Tim Gallagher, it was reading a posting on a canoe club listserv about a strange woodpecker a kayaker named Gene Sparling had seen on a float trip down a remote bayou in eastern Arkansas. Less than two weeks after this sighting, Gallagher and his buddy Bobby Ray Harrisonart history professor, photographer, southerner, and dyed-in-the-wool ivory-bill chaserhit the swamp with Sparling, canoeing through the bayou in search of the mystery bird. Tim and Bobby had their first ivory-bill sighting there.
In this unparalleled birding adventure story, Tim Gallagher takes us across the country, from the renowned Cornell Lab in Ithaca, New York, to the Big Thicket country of east Texas, the Atchafalaya Swamp in Louisiana, and the wild bayous of Arkansas. He brings to life figures from history, such as John James Audubon, Alexander Wilson, and Arthur A. Allen, and introduces characters like Mary Scott, a corporate lawyer turned ghost-bird chaser, and Fielding Lewis, the chairman of the Louisiana Boxing Commission, whose anonymous snapshots of the ivory-bill were met with skepticism in the 1970s. Readers join the expedition team along with celebrated naturalists, researchers, and the Cornell Lab's birding team, the Sapsuckers.
We have lost most of the vast old-growth forests of the South, and nothing symbolizes that loss more than the ivory-billed woodpecker. But the rediscovery of the bird symbolizes hope for these neglected and abused habitats, which with time and effort can be partially restored. We have been given one final chance to get it right, to save this bird and the bottomland swamp forests it needs in order to survive.
History comes alive in
The Grail Bird
, in which the expeditions of yesteryear take on present-day relevance in light of the ongoing quest. The dedication of the obsessed bunch of searchers is tangible, and Tim Gallagher's passion for the bird led not only to this book but to the rediscovery of a species. Readers of
The Grail Bird
will cheer for the ivory-billed woodpecker's miraculous survival, and they will hear the bird's distinctive
calls in their imagination long after they finish the book.

The After Effects Apprentice series was created by Trish and Chris Meyer. These tutorials are designed for After Effects CS4 through CC, and can be used on their own or as a companion to the Meyer's book, After Effects Apprentice.
- Grouping layers by nesting and precomposing
- Identifying and solving render order issues
- Navigating composition hierarchies
- Editing a precomp while viewing the result in another composition
- Preserving the frame rate of a nested composition
Skill Level Intermediate
- Hi, I'm Chris Meyer of Crish Design, and welcome to the After Effects Apprentice lesson on nesting and precomposing. One of the strengths of After Effects is you don't have to do everything in one composition or in one timeline. You can go ahead and create an element in one composition, drag that comp into a second composition. It'll be treated just as if it was a single footage item. You don't have to manage all those layers individually in the final comp. There's lots of uses for this. For example, you can create a small element or a small bug in one comp and reuse it in multiple compositions throughout the chain.
Or, you can create a much larger composition, say a map or a very wide panorama, and pan around that composition inside a second comp. Trish will then show you how to precompose. We select one or more layer in the current composition, then send it back up the chain to a precomp, a previous composition that's nested in the one you're currently working in. This is really handy when you need to group layers, perhaps for applying an effect, or to rewire the rendering order inside After Effects to get it to do something different than it normally would do. Then at the end we'll show you an Idea Corner of how to finish off one of the comps we were working on, challenge you with a few Quizzlers to see what you've learned, and also give you a few sidebar movies related to nesting and precomposing, including how to navigate a hierarchy of compositions.
This is where you start to really become an expert After Effects user, where you get the idea of setting up a hierarchy of comps that will make your life much easier when it comes time to animate or accommodate client changes. So let's dive in and have some fun.
Q: This course was updated on 11/29/2012. What changed?
A: We added a new chapter, "Render Order Exceptions." It contains four new movies: Continuous rasterization, The Transform effect, Collapse transformations, and Compound effects. We also added a movie that shows our premium subscribers how to use the exercise files, including the new exercise files designed for After Effects CS6.

Godly Sorrow
1. Once my sorrow was for the pain of all I stood to lose
And yet my sin remained.
This sorrow, born of my pain,
Kept my heart from turning back to Him again.
Chorus 1&2
Sorrow for my sin brings my soul such pain.
Yet this pain I know can lead my soul back to him again.
2. Now my sorrow is for the sin that gives offense to God
And stains my soul within.
This sorrow of godly pain hopes
I never give offense to Him again.
3. Godly sorrow became the start of the path
That led to a mighty change of heart.
This sorrow out of love helps me find the way back to Him again
Chorus 3
Sorrow for my sin brings my soul such pain.
I know can lead my soul Godly back to Him.

Bayern Munich gained revenge for a 2-1 defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen by winning the reverse fixture by the same scoreline.Bayern Munich gained revenge for a 2-1 defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen by winning the reverse fixture by the same scoreline at the BayArena. Mario Gomez put Jupp Heynckes' side in front, but they needed a rather fortunate own goal from Philipp Wollscheid to win the game late on after Simon Rolfes had brought the hosts level. The win restores Bayern's 20-point cushion at the top of the table with only eight games of the season left while Leverkusen now trail second-placed Borussia Dortmund by four points and remain six clear of Eintracht Frankfurt and Schalke in fourth. Bayern played with a weakened side as Heynckes gave rests to captain Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and Mario Mandzukic. Gomez was chosen to lead the attack, and he put Bayern in front in the 37th minute, taking Xherdan Shaqiri's pass down on his chest before beating Sebastian Boenisch and poking the ball past Bernd Leno. It was a deserved lead for the visitors after Arjen Robben and Jerome Boateng had also gone close. Sidney Sam, whose goal decided affairs at the Allianz Arena, was sent on by Bayer's joint coaches Sami Hyypia and Sascha Lewandowski, and he gave the hosts a boost with a shot which tested Manuel Neuer and gave the home team belief. They drew level in the 75th minute when Rolfes arrived at the far post to head in Gonzalo Castro's corner, which had been nodded on by Boenisch. It looked like it would be enough to earn Leverkusen a draw, but when Wollscheid unwittingly diverted Bastian Schweinsteiger's free-kick into his own goal, Bayern's 22nd win of the season was completed, leaving them just four points away from sealing the title.

First of all: thanks for the description! XCode can also be installed from the system DVD. Is there a reason why one should start such a huge download instead or should we mention the offline install option, too? --Carl 19:41, 8 February 2008 (CET)
Getting the dependencies
I have some trouble following the instructions in this paragraph. First of all I usually log in as a standard user, i.e. without admin rights. No problem with installations. However, while trying to update the ports the sudo command doesn't accept my pw since it's not in the sudoers file. OK, now I see it's in /private/etc/sudoers. ("This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.") When I attach admin rights to my account I get back "sudo: port: command not found". Argh, that's complicated. I'll try again tomorrow with a good cup of coffee. --Carl 03:33, 9 February 2008 (CET)

Washington's Blog
April 26, 2010
Boeing CEO Jim McNerney succinctly summarized a recent study by Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies regarding unemployment rates for different income brackets:
The Center analyzed the labor conditions faced by income-grouped U.S. households during the fourth quarter of 2009.
In the face of one of the worst economic environments in memory, those in the highest income groups had nearly full employment levels, with just a 3.2 percent unemployment rate for households with over $150,000 in income and a 4 percent rate in the next-highest income group of $100,000-plus.
The two lowest-income groups — under $12,500 and under $20,000 annually — faced unemployment rates of 30.8 percent and 19.1 percent, respectively.
The study – published in February – notes that the poor are suffering Depression levels of unemployment:
Workers in the lowest income decile faced a Great Depression type unemployment rate of nearly 31% while those in the second lowest income decile had an unemployment rate slightly below 20% …. Unemployment rates fell steadily and steeply across the ten income deciles. Workers in the top two deciles of the income distribution faced unemployment rates of only 4.0 and 3.2 percent respectively, the equivalent of full employment. The relative size of the gap in unemployment rates between workers in the bottom and top income deciles was close to ten to one. Clearly, these two groups of workers occupy radically different types of labor markets in the U.S.
The study is subtitled "A Truly Great Depression Among the Nation's Low Income Workers Amidst Full Employment Among the Most Affluent".
Arianna Huffington, commenting on the study, pointed out that it if were the high-earners suffering 31 percent unemployment, the media would be discussing unemployment non-stop. But because it is the poor who are suffering Depression-level unemployment, they largely ignore it.
As I noted last August:
Chris Tilly – director of the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at UCLA – points out that some populations, such as African-Americans and high school dropouts, have been hit much harder than other populations, and that these groups are already experiencing depression-level unemployment.

IL House Votes Down Medical Marijuana Bill
The Illinois House has once again rejected allowing medicinal marijuana for those with certain medical conditions.
The proposed measure would hae implemented a three-year pilot program for medical marijuana. The program would've allowed people suffering from certain kinds of illnesses, including cancer and AIDS, to receive a prescription for marijuana to help alleviate pain and nausea.
The measure failed on a 61-to-53 vote.
The bill would have barred people from buying the marijuana anywhere except 59 licensed, not-for-profit sellers. But critics argue it sends the wrong message to kids and could make the drug problem worse.
The measure's Sponsor, Lou Lang (D-Skokie), had limited the program to three years and added a provision to allow the purchase only from licensed dispensaries, but it wasn't enough.
"Maybe as many as 100 members believe we should pass a medical marijuana law but for whatever reason are unable to convince themselves to do it," Lang said.
Lang could call the measure for another vote this Spring. He said he believes he has the necessary support, but has to convince enough colleagues to follow through and vote for it.
House Republican Leader Tom opposed earlier versions of the measure, but endorsed it this time it, saying it's only right to help relieve people's suffering.
"Shouldn't we be able to provide to them the best relief and the best available source to do that?" Cross said.

Why is Peter Allen, a businessman with an MBA, picking up dirty diapers from homes across the Twin Cities?
"I saw a rising trend," said Allen, who started Do Good Diapers cloth diaper delivery service in Minneapolis last October. As more parents choose cloth diapers, what was once a niche market is taking root in the mainstream.
Proponents say cloth is thriftier, gentler on the environment and better for their baby's skin and health. Parents gush over how easy it is to use the new pinless, not-your-grandma's-cloth diapers. Although an estimated 90 to 95 percent of American parents use disposables, people such as Allen believe the pool of cloth users will keep expanding.
Target.com and Costco.com carry cloth. Cloth diaper sales at Bumkins, one of the largest U.S. cloth diaper companies, have increased 30 percent or more every year for the past three years. Another major cloth diaper company, Cotton Babies, started six years ago with $100 and ran the operation out of a living-room bookshelf. Today the company has nearly 50 employees and distributes to six continents.
For the past two years, cloth diapers have been the fastest-growing category of products at Peapods Natural Toys and Baby Care in St. Paul.
"People are seeing that this is an option," said customer Jessica Griffith, who's used cloth for her 2 1/2- and 1-year-old sons. In addition to being concerned about diapers in landfills, "We were mostly interested in saving money," said the St. Paul resident. Griffith estimates that she's spent $400 total to diaper both boys. Plus, "the nicer cloth diapers have resale value, so I was able to sell some of those on Craigslist and get some of my money back," she said.
Cloth diapers vary significantly in style and cost, from $1 to $25 per diaper, so cloth runs $50 to $500 total from birth through potty-training. Parents spend up to $2,000 per baby on disposables, according to Consumer Reports.
People such as Karina Crockett, who uses Allen's diaper service instead of washing them at home, pay about the same for cloth as they would for disposables. Crockett switched to cloth because she felt guilty about throwing away diapers. "We also realized this is on her skin 24 hours a day, and we had this growing uneasiness. There's no way having scents and chlorine bleach and plastic against the skin is a good thing."
Cloth diapers are often made of cotton, bamboo, terrycloth, flannel or microfiber, and many are made in the United States. Concern over how diapers are manufactured and what's in them is also driving sales of some disposables. Seventh Generation makes disposables without fragrance, chlorine or the chemical tributyltin (TBT). Sales jumped 84 percent between 2007 and 2008.
Dr. Alan Greene, a pediatrician at Stanford University and author of "Raising Baby Green," doesn't believe there's evidence that either cloth or disposables are superior from a health standpoint, but he does encourage parents to buy diapers without TBT, chlorine and fragrance.
"From a baby's perspective, cloth diapers tend to be more comfortable when they're dry and more irritating when they're wet," he said. "But that irritation when they're wet can be a signal that helps them potty-train earlier," as much as 50 percent sooner, he said.
There's a question of whether disposables cause fertility problems for boys because the plastic raises the temperature of their testicles, he said. Some studies show it's a problem, but so far nothing conclusive has proven that link.
Calls to Huggies and Procter & Gamble, which sells Luvs and Pampers, were not returned. Some proponents of disposables say that health concerns are unfounded and that the environmental impact is even because washing cloth diapers uses energy and water.
Tina Darr, mother of 2-year-old twins and a newborn, doesn't buy it. "I haven't seen a big change in my water bills," she said. "I feel good about not putting nonbiodegradable things in the landfill that are going to take 500 years or more to decompose." Darr became such a fan of cloth that she started a business, Cloth Diapers Today, to sell her favorite styles and brands from her home in Rushford, Minn.
"The biggest thing is people's perception of what cloth is like," she said. "You have to throw out the idea of what cloth used to be like and see that it's really quite easy."
People use cloth diapers with waterproof covers or all-in-ones, which combine absorbent and waterproof materials. Many soiled diapers can go directly into the wash. Poopy diapers get shaken, scraped or sprayed off into the toilet. But that's something people using disposables are supposed to do as well -- human waste in the trash is a no-no, and the fine print on disposable packages points that out.
Elizabeth Wickoren of Blaine wished that she had known about cloth earlier, so last August she decided to get the word out by starting the nonprofit Teeny Greenies, which provides diapers to families wishing to try cloth. She has diapers out to 35 families and a growing waiting list. Wickoren is helping people in Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi start local diaper lending services under the Teeny Greenies name.
"There's been a perfect storm with the increase in the green movement combined with the downturn in the economy," she said. "Cloth diapers are right there in the middle -- good for the environment and good for your pocketbook."

NASCAR driver Brian Vickers abandoned his 2010 season after suffering a pulmonary embolism. Now he's back with an interview in Maxim sure to shake the sport's stodgy fans. He drinks, he hits on chicks, he calls Jeff Gordon no fun.
In a rare moment of honesty from the usually tightly-controlled NASCAR universe, Vickers talks about going out drinking near his SoHo bachelor pad and tries to get women to sleep with him. This is a standard part of racing (well, not the SoHo part), but something you rarely see written up, which makes reporter Mike Guy's first-hand account noteworthy.
I join him on one of those nights, in a bar on Houston Street. Vickers is drinking like an elite athlete-draining a succession of vodkas, waiting for the bar's owner, a dissolute pop singer named Gavin DeGraw. Vickers makes a phone call to Jeff Gordon, hectoring him for not coming out to get trashed.
"Fuckin' Gordon," Vickers says. "He used to be a lot of fun."
The night is ending-or nearly. BV's crew wanders thirstily into the Hiro Ballroom. To a female companion, Vickers wonders aloud who the hottest chick in the room is, and they agree on a willowy blonde looking bored on the dance floor with a banker type.
"I'm going to go give her a ride," Vickers says. "Hell, what do I have to lose?"
By NASCAR's public standards, that makes him Charlie Sheen. Perfect timing, then, right before the Daytona 500.

Asteroids arcade cabinet
At about this time my videogame collection was starting to get kind of out-of-hand, I had about twenty something consoles at the time (now I'm up to 35 or so I think), and I had no place to store all my games and boxes and stuff.
The thought crossed my mind to create an arcade cabinet that could store my television and have storage space for all my games and boxes etc.
Initially my plan was to make a Donkey Kong or a centipede cabinet because I liked the sideart on those cabs, in the end I ended up deciding on Asteroids, I don't know why, I think I just liked the shape of that cabinet more.
Anyway, here is the final result (actually it's not finished, I've been meaning to buy some glass doors to put on the bottom front there.):
And here are the progress shots (I kind of wish I had taken more photos as I went, its pretty interesting to look back and see how you made stuff step by step):
Here is before it was painted, I wish I had taken more photos of how I actually built it.
Below is the shelf thing I made for inside the cabinet, it stores 64 carts, NES carts, megadrive carts, master system carts, CD cases , nes boxes, megadrive boxes, 2600 boxes, and DVD cases.
It also swings out to reveal a cavity behind it for storing spare controllers and consoles and console boxes.
Here is the progress painting it:
Here is how the shelf thing works, and you can see all the console boxes stacked tetris-style behind it:
I've made sure to take a lot more photos on the progress for the current project I'm working on, so stay tuned, I'll probably do post on it as I go and how I've solve some of the problems the arise.

I gotta give you props for all your work. I saw the video for your NES Controller table a couple weeks ago, may have to borrow that idea if the wife lets me.
Great work on the arcade too. I built one myself about a year ago, but didn't go into the detailed work with the visual design. Wood laminate ftw.

|Baskent TV, 13 January 2009
Adnan Oktar: It has governed three continents and has experience. It has experience of state, experience of empire. We wish to administer the whole region as leader of the Turkish-Islamic Union by bringing that experience to the fore once again. And that is what everyone wants. The Syrians want it, and the Iraqis, and Egypt and even Armenia. Azerbaijan and Turkestan want it. East Turkestan wants it. Everyone wants it. Everyone trusts in Turkish justice, Turkish rationality and Turkish altruism, and Turkish troops are popular everywhere in the world.
Turkey has the duty to dialogue with Hamas
According to information obtained from diplomatic sources, during Mubarak's visit to Istanbul the need for the immediate establishment of a national unity government by securing compromise between Hamas and the PLO in Palestine was emphasized as being the most important issue. In that context, the Egyptian side forwarded its desire for contacts with Hamas to be carried out by Turkey.

Crack-Proof Sapphire Crystal to Replace Gorilla Glass in iPhone 6?
- Details
- Category: Molybdenum & Sapphire Growth Furnace News
- Published on 23 May 2014
- Written by Cloudy
- Hits: 462
Apple could be considering a shift from Corning's Gorilla Glass to sapphire crystal for its future iPhones, new reports have suggested.
Patently Apple points to Walter Isaacson's official Steve Jobs biography, in which Corning's CEO Wendell Weeks said: "We produced a glass that had never been made." The report suggests that Corning could "consider manufacturing a new type of glass that seems to be the next big thing in glass. This next generation of glass is made from sapphire crystal."
Sapphire crystal, which is currently used for military armour, could be used for smartphones in the future, and could allow Apple to build a crack-proof, scratch-free iPhone. SEE: iPhone 6 release date, rumours and leaked images
However, sapphire crystal comes at a price, costing about ten times the amount of Gorilla Glass reports MIT Technology review. This price could decrease should Apple and other smartphone makers decide to take the new material into mass production, and as technology improves. Currently, Apple spends about $3 on Gorilla Glass for each individual iPhone, but sapphire glass could push this up to around $30 per unit to begin with, but is likely to fall below $20 within a couple of years, said Yole Developpement analyst Eric Virey.
While this may not be a cost that Apple is willing to absorb, Patently Apple highlights that Apple's devices are known for using top-notch materials and that improved glass could save on iPhone returns due to smashed displays.
Apple already uses sapphire crystal to cover the camera lens of its iSight camera, found on the iPhone 5. On its website, Apple writes: "Although the surface of the iSight camera is as clear as glass, it's not made of glass. It's actually sapphire crystal, whose hardness is second only to diamond on the scale of transparent materials. That means the surface of the lens is far less likely to scratch."
According to Virey, all major smartphone makers are considering replacing glass with sapphire crystal in their devices. "I'm convinced that some will start testing the water and release some high-end smartphones using sapphire in 2013," he said.
To reduce costs but still reap the benefits of sapphire crystal, smartphone makers could laminate a cheaper material with a thin layer of sapphire.
GT Advanced Technologies is already working on a method for making sapphire sheets thinner than human hair, says MIT. GT has a lower estimate for the cost of sapphire crystal, suggesting that the use of the material for smartphone displays will only be three to four times more than Gorilla Glass.
Corning has already shown off a new version of its Gorilla Glass, which promises 40 per cent fewer scratches and has already been rumoured to be used to toughen up the iPhone 6, iPad 5 and iPad mini 2.

Help a New York Grain Farm Rebuild from Devastating Fire
You may not have heard about Cayuga Pure Organics, but if you're into whole grains and live in the Northeast, you may have tasted their work. The farm is a major producer of organic, non-GMO whole grains, flours, and dried beans. Those flours make their way into the ovens of esteemed bakeries like Hot Bread Kitchen and Scratch Bread; you can find their grains and beans on menus at Eleven Madison Park, Roberta's, the Spotted Pig, and more. Their products are also in select New York groceries for retail purchase.
But the farm recently suffered a fire that has crippled its production, and unless it rebuilds quickly, it runs the risk of going under.
The image above is what's left of Cayuga's "Beanery," the facility the farm relies on to clean and process grains and beans for distribution. Until they build a new one, and obtain the $200,000+ for its construction, they're unable to get freshly harvested crops to market. In a low-margin business like specialty farming, that's very bad news.
The farm has set up a crowdfunding site where you can help them reach their $238,000 goal. Their site explains what the funds will be used for in detail: electrical work, plumbing, new equipment, and the like.
"[Cayuga] has become an integral part of [New York's] Greenmarket by bringing the staple crops of grains and legumes to the market place," says June Russell, the Manager of Farm Inspections & Strategic Development at GrowNYC. "With only four years under their belt, they have accomplished a great deal. The barn fire is a setback, but it gives [Cayuga] the opportunity to build back stronger than they were before."

Now, more than ever, is a good time to reflect on diversity to build a better future, as a unified nation. Let's celebrate our differences without forgetting our fundamental likeness. We are all Americans who believe in freedom and democracy for all.
This is what the American dream is all about. Everyone deserves a comfortable retirement, free of economic hardship.
Social Security has retirement benefits and the tools to help you plan for your retirement, and to apply for benefits online. We also provide disability benefits to individuals with medical conditions that prevent them from working. If the disabled individual has dependent family members, they can also receive payments.
If you or anyone you know is disabled, they may qualify for disability benefits. Studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a one-in-four chance of becoming disabled before reaching full retirement age. To see if you meet our strict definition of disabled, read our publication Disability Benefits.
Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits. Social Security helps by providing income for the families of workers who die. In fact, 98 of every 100 children could get benefits if a working parent dies. And Social Security pays more benefits to children than any other federal program. Go online to learn more about Social Security's survivors benefits.
Honoring each other begins with fair and equal treatment. Social Security guarantees that, if you pay into the system and meet our eligibility requirement, you will receive the benefits due to you. We want to make sure our diverse nation is covered, that everyone gets the benefits they deserve, and that no one is left out. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov to learn more.

> Delivering on the promise of a fair, effective and independent Court > Legal Representation
Legal RepresentationThe Rome Statute provides for the rights of the accused and of the victims, but not for the organization of the legal representation. To fill the void, independent offices in charge of organizing legal representation for both defendants and victims were created. This is a new step in international criminal justice systems. The idea for such offices is one which arose in large part because of the interventions of NGO members of the CICC. The International Criminal Defence Attorneys Association and other Coalition members were concerned that the Statute did not provide sufficiently for the needs of the defense, and that this potential imbalance would prove to be a problem, as they perceive it to have been with the ad hoc tribunals. The Office of Public Counsel for the Defence was created in order to reinforce the equality of arms and to enable a fair trial within the meaning of the Rome Statute.
Adequate legal representation for victims is also necessary for the victims to exercise their right to participate in the proceedings, as provided for by the Rome Statute. The Office of Public Counsel for Victims seeks to ensure effective participation of victims in the proceedings before the Court.
NGOs have also been involved in consultations on the draft Regulations of the Registry and had the opportunity to share their concerns and provide input on the Regulations, including those related to legal representation for both victims and witnesses. Moreover, the ICC has organized seminars on counsel issues, with CICC members providing their expertise as to how the legal representation systems should work within the ICC.
Coalition members were extremely active in working towards the adoption of the Code of Professional Code for Counsel.
Finally, NGOs have also been actively engaged in providing trainings to members of the legal profession, particularly in situation countries. These trainings have focused on the ICC and its functioning. They are also often aimed at helping lawyers understand the rights of defendants and victims within the ICC proceedings, so as to enable them to get involved in the ICC process.
Lawyers who wish to practice before the Court, whether as duty counsel, ad hoc counsel, defence counsel or as legal representative of victims, must meet the criteria of admission to the List of Counsel created and maintained by the Registrar in accordance with Rule 21(2) of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence.
For more information on this issue and the NGO Team on Legal Representation, please contact Alix Vuillemin Grendel at [email protected].
