Media conglomerate Time Warner ontinues to be one of those names on Wall Street that seem to always fly under the radar. Remarkably, this is despite the company's recent string of market-beating performances.
When assessing Time Warner's current standing amongst its peers, which include names such as Walt Disney and Comcast, it becomes clear the stock is undervalued. However, after the company's third-quarter earnings report, which I felt were "mixed," I'm thinking I might need to curb my enthusiasm — but for how long? (Comcast is the majority owner of NBC Universal, the parent company of CNBC and CNBC.com.)

Goldman Sachs' Response to March 25, 2012 The New York Times Article "Anger at Goldman Still Simmers"
The New York Times ran a story on the failure in 2008 of the hedge fund Copper River, which used Goldman Sachs as its prime broker. The story relies on statements made by Marc Cohodes, a former senior executive at Copper River, in a November 2011 deposition in the Overstock.com short-selling case.
The questions posed to us by the Times are presented in bold text below, followed by the responses which we provided in advance of the story's publication.
The events referenced resulted from unique circumstances during the financial crisis in September 2008, a time of extreme stress in global financial markets. Copper River was a hedge fund with a short-biased trading approach. Its difficulties were triggered largely by a sharp rise in prices of several stocks in which it held large short positions following new regulations, a ban on short sales of the stocks of financial institutions, and other significant market developments. Copper River's short positions moved dramatically against it, causing its accounts to incur losses of over half a billion dollars and approximately one third of their value.
Mr. Cohodes said he believed that, without his knowledge, Goldman had not borrowed the shares he had shorted as is required under securities laws. Had Goldman in fact located and borrowed the shares that Copper River had shorted? Or had the firm failed to do so leaving Copper River naked in its short positions?
Mr. Cohodes is wrong. We met our obligations under applicable law. Mr. Cohodes himself described this theory as "just speculation on my part" in his November 2011 deposition. One of his former Copper River partners, Richard Sauer, described the same "speculation" in his 2010 book, "Selling America Short."
Why did Goldman require Copper River to close out its short positions in Sept. 2008 even though the fund was in compliance with its Fed margin requirement?
Significant losses and a drop in position value caused the Copper River accounts to incur risk calls in September 2008, which it did not adequately address. These losses created risks for Copper River, Goldman Sachs and the broader market. As a result, we declared an event of default which entitled us as prime broker to require liquidation of the account. Mr. Cohodes acknowledged in his November 2011 deposition that Copper River faced potentially unlimited losses if the prices of stocks held short by his fund continued to rise, and that Goldman Sachs could have been left responsible for those losses.
Mr. Cohodes also contends that Goldman bought in Copper River's short positions in a reckless fashion driving up the prices of the stocks and making the purchases far more costly. Did the firm do this? If so, why?
No. We conducted the liquidation in a manner designed to limit, to the extent possible in an extremely volatile market, losses in Copper River's accounts.
Mr. Cohodes said that when Copper River tried to transfer its positions to another bank, Goldman would not allow the transfer. Later, Copper River was arranging for another fund, Farallon Capital, to take over its positions and stop the buy-ins. But a trader on Goldman's prop trading desk warned a Farallon executive not to take over Copper River's positions because, the trader said, Copper River would be out of business soon. This indicates that prop trading knew of Copper River's problems and may have been frontrunning its trades, increasing the costs of its buy-ins, Mr. Cohodes said. Please comment on these allegations.
We looked into these frontrunning allegations, and they are not true. Mr. Cohodes himself acknowledged in his November 2011 deposition that he had no way of knowing whether they were true.
The deposition makes clear that Mr. Cohodes believes Goldman contributed greatly to Copper River's losses and its closing. He characterizes Goldman in the deposition as a "racketeering entity that does whatever they can to make a dime without conscience, thought, foresight or care about ramifications." What is Goldman's response?
Mr. Cohodes stated in his November 2011 testimony that, prior to the losses his fund experienced in the Fall of 2008, he had been a satisfied customer who received excellent service from Goldman Sachs for over 20 years. His opinion only changed when market conditions turned against the funds' short bias and the funds suffered dramatic losses.

|Anti-inflammatory Effects of Colchicine in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
|Brief Summary
|Peri-procedural inflammation is associated with increased rates of post-procedural myocardial infarction (MI), which occur in up to 35% of PCI patients and are themselves associated with increased risk of later MI and death. Statins suppress both inflammatory markers and MI rates during and after PCI, but ≥ 40% of PCI patients go statin-untreated, due in part to side effects such as myalgia. Moreover, because their mechanism of action relies on post-translational effects, statins must be given ≥ 12 to 24 hours prior to PCI, a time frame that is not always feasible. The investigators propose a novel alternative approach to reduce inflammation during PCI employing colchicine, an anti-inflammatory medication used frequently in gout and pericarditis. Colchicine may be particularly applicable to the PCI setting due to its rapid onset of action and excellent side-effect profile at low doses, as well as its known mechanisms of action. However, data on colchicine use in patients with coronary disease is extremely limited, and no studies to date have evaluated the use of colchicine in patients undergoing PCI. The investigators aim to characterize a potential mechanism of benefit in patients undergoing PCI by evaluating the effects of colchicine on soluble and leukocyte surface markers after PCI. The investigators also aim to determine the effects of colchicine on peri-procedural myonecrosis and MI. Accordingly, the investigators propose a prospective randomized study to characterize the effect of colchicine on inflammation and peri-procedural myocnecrosis. Patients referred for possible PCI will be randomized in a double-blinded fashion to placebo or colchicine (1.2mg 1 to 2 hours before PCI, followed by 0.6mg 1 hour later). The primary endpoint will be post-procedural interleukin-6 level. Secondary endpoints will include other relevant soluble and leukocyte-associated inflammatory markers and rates of peri-procedural myonecrosis and MI. Sample size needed is 200 patients undergoing PCI. To adjust for a floor effect, 280 patients undergoing PCI will be needed. 400 patients will likely be needed to be enrolled to reach 280 PCIs (the remaining will have undergone a diagnostic only procedure).

Senate Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry Committee Chairwoman Stabenow (D-Mich.) formally introduced The Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act (S. 3240) that was approved 16-5 by the full Committee on April 26.
The formal introduction is necessary so the legislation can be considered by the full Senate.
Chairwoman Stabenow has been quoted in numerous publications as saying the legislation will be considered by the Senate in early June, but no specific date has been announced. In a news release, she stated, "This bill has strong bipartisan support from Senators across the country and I am looking forward to beginning floor consideration soon."
Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) said he will make floor time available for the farm bill, but he gave no details on its scheduling. He said the Senate has a full agenda in June with bills dealing with small business tax cuts, paycheck fairness, student loan rates and cyber security legislation when they return from the Memorial Day recess on June 4.
A copy of the bill can be accessed on the Senate Agriculture Committee's website, www.ag.senate.gov/issues/farm-bill.
During an appearance on a NPR radio talk show, Chairwoman Stabenow raised an issue that has dominated debate behind the scenes since the Committee reported the bill. When asked about Southern Senators' complaints that the revenue program won't work for rice and peanuts, she said, "A lot of folks would argue they've gotten more back than their percentage of the baseline."
A Stabenow spokesman said she was referring to the fact that "folks would argue some crops receive a greater share of the payments than their share of production."
Negotiations continue
Chairwoman Stabenow said she is continuing to negotiate with Southern Senators and that she and House Agriculture Committee Chairman Lucas (R-Okla.), are "good friends" and noted that they worked together on the proposal that went to the Committee on Deficit Reduction last year.
That proposal included a target price and counter-cyclical option, which Chairman Lucas has said he intends to include in the House bill that he expects to consider in his committee in June.
"We'll end up compromising," Chairwoman Stabenow said about her relationship with Lucas and the Senate and House bills. House Agriculture General Farm Commodities and Risk Management Subcommittee Chairman Conaway (R-Texas) said on NPR that the House bill "will make the safety net fair across regions."
Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its official score of S. 3240. CBO estimates that enactment would bring total direct spending for USDA programs covered under the bill to $969 billion over 2013-2022 — $23.6 billion less than would be spent with a continuation of programs under current law.
The commodity title would repeal most current agricultural price and income support programs for crop and dairy producers, and CBO estimates that federal spending on commodity programs would total $43.2 billion over 2013-2022 — or $19.8 billion less than expected if current law was continued.
CBO estimates that the new Agriculture Risk Coverage payments "would average $3.2 billion per year; however, actual payments from year to year would probably vary considerably from that expected average payment."
The bill also would authorize appropriations over 2013-2017 for existing and new USDA programs involving research and education, nutrition, trade promotion, rural development, credit assistance, forestry and conservation initiatives. CBO estimates that implementing those provisions would cost about $28 billion over the next five years, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.
The CBO report is at www.agri-pulse.com/uploaded/CBO_Pub_S3240.pdf.

With the ATI driver I get "No matching card found."
A: If your card is actually a Rage 128 or Radeon, submit a bug and assign it to EricAnholt (email@example.com) with the output of "scanpci | grep 1002" (or "lspci -n | grep 1002" or "pciconf -l | grep 1002"). Better would be to use that output yourself to make a patch to xserver/hw/kdrive/ati/ati.c to add your PCI ID, test it, and then submit a patch.
With the Xnvidia driver, I just get "No matching card found."
A: The driver's author (Keith Packard) says that the driver shouldn't be used because it's only for one card, and doesn't accelerate that one because of lack of docs and obfuscation in open-source code. Xvesa is an alternative. Should someone want to pick up and maintain this driver, it would be welcomed, but will be a challenge.
Couldn't we just write a wrapper for XFree86 drivers and use them?
A: Essentially, no. There are a large number of calls from XFree86 drivers into XFree86's DDX layer. Furthermore, XFree86 drivers don't support acceleration in the same way, so offscreen pixmaps wouldn't be supportable as far as I know.
-- Main.EricAnholt - 23 Nov 2003
What is the difference between Xserver and X.Org ?
A: X.Org is a foundation that provides an open source implementation of the X Window System often reffered as "X.Org". Xserver is core functionality of that implementation.

A: from onestone.
Short explanation:
* **direct rendering**: The 3d application opens a window using the xserver protocol, but all opengl calls go directly to the driver and the xserver doesn't know anything about the rendering. **indirect rendering**: The 3d application opens a window using the xserver protocol, and all opengl calls go to the xserver and the xserver sends them to the driver.
AIGLX (Accelerated Indirect GLX): Is simply a name for the ability of a driver to accelerate indirect rendering. (This has been supported already by nvidia for several years and has nothing to do with GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap)
AIGLX based GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap: This is what we currently get with the fglrx, intel and the free radeon drivers. This system copies the content of the window pixmap to a opengl texture. To make this work all gl calls have to go over the x protocol (AIGLX).
zero copy GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap: Instead of the slow copying of the window content into a gl texture, this allows to use the same memory area as x server drawable (pixmap) and as gl texture. There has to be a different memory management system to allow the xserver and the gl engine to share the same memory. There is already work done on a new memory manager (TTM) to allow zero copy GLX_texture_from_pixmap with open drivers in the future. This also allows GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering. This system is currently only supported by nvidia, but there are also some bugs with the nvidia memory management, known as "black window" bug.
redirected GLX: One problem that we see now with AIGLX GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, is that other 3d applications are not redirected and paint directly on the screen. The current DRI (Direct rendering infrastructure) (fglrx is using it, but not nvidia) has no interface to render to an offscreen area (pixmap). Kristian Høgsberg is currently working on a new DRI interface to allow this. This system will only work with zero copy GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap because copying of each 3d frame would be to slow.
redirected XVideo: Nearly the same situation like for redirected GLX, but the interface is already there (since XOrg 7.2). But it's a little more difficult to make to the video acceleration engines render to offscreen memory and zero copy GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is also needed to make it work with fast enough.
Questions/Answers about GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
(A: agd5f, ajax)
1. "GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing"
* some cards like R300 radeon support indirect context only and this happens on such when trying to use in direct context
1. Does setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 have bad (performance) impact on other stuff?
* For some stuff, yes.
1. Why GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not supported in direct context on r300?
* The whole point of only doing GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap in indirect contexts right now is that it's _hard_ to do in a direct context.
* We'll fix it. TTM is needed first.

OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 240 GB Review
Solid-State Drives have come a long way to get to the level of performance and reliability that we see today, both on a consumer and enterprise level. As such, OCZ has been a pioneer in the Solid-State Drive market, delivering solutions that continue to impress. Having previously looked at the RevoDrive X2 in March of this year, we saw just what the performance potential of the RevoDrive series really was. Now, the new RevoDrive 3 X2 brings much more to the table with the latest SF 22XX series NAND controllers and OCZ's new SuperScale Storage Accelerator, which uses VCA 2.0 for increased scalability. The performance metrics are incredible in their own right; maximum reads of up to 1500 MB/s, writes of 1225 MB/s, and up to 200,000 IOPs 4 KB Random Write (QD64, 4K Aligned, 8 GB LBA). If this kind of performance doesn't catch your eye, I guess speed just does not interest you. OCZ offers the RevoDrive 3 X2 in 240 GB, 480 GB, and 960 GB capacities, with pricing starting at $699 for the 240 GB variant. For those who worry about reliability, OCZ offers a 3 year warranty on the RevoDrive 3 X2. Advertising a MTBF of over a million hours, the drive should last much longer than the warranty term though. Specification-wise, the RevoDrive 3 X2 seems to offer an incredible level of performance. Let's see if the best case numbers are real and if OCZ can back them up. Based on past history, the results should be interesting.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the RevoDrive 3 X2 continues in the same vein as the previous models. The front panel shows a picture of the drive alongside a few of its specifications and technologies, including OCZ's proprietary VCA (Virtualized Controller Architecture) 2.0 and the SuperScale Storage Accelerator. The first enables TRIM and SMART monitoring, while the latter enables "scalable performance". The back panel gives a brief synopsis of the target market and proprietary technologies.
Inside the outer sleeve, there is a dense cardboard box containing a foam-filled tray that holds the 240 GB RevoDrive 3 X2 safely in place during transit. The package also includes a manual and a sticker that points out an obvious fact – a fun way to show your support for OCZ.
While the front panel of the packaging shows a nice preview of the RevoDrive 3 X2, I'm looking to see what it has to offer outside the confines of the packaging. If the included decal is any indication, the phrase "My SSD is faster than your HDD" should not be an idle boast, but a bold statement that can be easily backed-up.

Wow! That's was my first impression when I saw the satellite photo from Ayers Rock / Uluru, a red sandstone rock formation from central Australia. The rock is 346 metres high and has a perimeter of 8 km.
Ayers Rock appears to change colour around the day and year, as you can see in the photos from the mini-panoramio above. That's because of minerals like feldspar reflect the red light of sunrise and sunset. The rock gets its rust colour from oxidation and during wet periods it changes to grey.
There is a lot of superstition around Ayers Rock. Aborigines do not climb Ayers Rock because of spiritual significance, there are restricted areas for photos and you are supposed to suffer misfortune if you take away stones from the area.

Immersion Trips Augment Classroom, Change Lives• April 4, 2007 Share:
As Wabash College moves into its second decade of offering Immersion Learning courses that take students to the source of their studies, it's become clear that such trips do far more than augment classroom work — the experiences change the lives of Wabash men.
Over the last few years, students have used online journals or blogs to write about their experiences while on Immersion Learning trips. Usually written on the fly between museum visits and research explorations, the blogs offer honest, sometimes introspective glimpses into the power of cross-cultural learning.
Now, thanks to a generous matching grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., Immersion Learning will continue to be a part of the Wabash student experience. Lilly Endowment matched philanthropic gifts to Wabash, $2 million of which will provide permanently endowed funds for extending the classroom initiatives.
Whether it's a classics student fully understanding the ancient Roman empire while walking through Rome's forum or a senior art major checking out the art scene in New York City, Immersion Learning courses provide context and personal experience that make coursework more tangible, more real.
The blogs, because of their diary-like nature, allow for a deeper look at the impact of Immersion Learning trips.
Here's a sampling of excerpts from trips taken during the 2006-2007 academic year.
Dustin Foster struggled emotionally while on a trip to New York City, Washington, and Atlanta with his African American Rhetoric classmates:
"This trip has, for me, been a rollercoaster of elation, love, warmth, hatred, violence, and death. Seeing videos of lynchings juxtaposed by the lovingly erected memorials of Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King leaves too little room for escape. It's too hard to forget, it has to be carried, and the load is heavy. You begin to see what they were fighting for, and why the fought so hard, and why people continue to fight."
Daniel Sutton joined junior and senior art majors for an up close and personal look at New York's artistic culture and the latest forms of artistic expression:
"I am still amazed to have witnessed first-hand some of the greatest art work in the world that I've studied in class. Sometimes I just found myself smiling as I walked through the galleries, seeing the work of artists like Van Gogh and Picasso and to see photos taken by some of the most amazing photographers of our time of which I've learned so much from in my quest to better myself in my medium.
"The immersion trip was a learning experience on so many levels as it gave me the opportunity to discuss art, my personal views, and the impact which art has had on me with the other guys on the trip and even with native New Yorkers. That in itself made the trip worthwhile to me as I was able to connect with fellow Wallies and other students of art as we discovered similarities with each other that we never even realized were there. As I said, the memories and bonds created on this trip are definitely things that will stick with me forever and I thank Wabash and my professors for giving me the opportunity to experience everything NYC had to offer, not only impacting my interest in art, but also impacting my life."
Matt Vest, who traveled with other German language students to Berlin, expresses the more subtle impact:
"Trier lies right along the Mosel River, in the region of the country considered wine country because of extensive wineries along the banks of the river. Sitting on the street completely immersed in the German culture with a glass of wine was my favorite experience from the entire trip. As it started to get late, we headed out on the train for Koblenz, where we stopped briefly in the station and ate before returning to Cologne. The whole day was incredible, and the experiences from both that day and the entire week will be with me for the rest of my life."
Clay Koehler got his own up close and personal look at the European Union… and didn't really like what he saw:
"It's obvious why the European Union gets very little done…it is the most inefficient governmental organization in the world. Talking to the average European citizen, their disapproval of the Union is extraordinary. Many say that it has grown too large and that there are too many different points of view for there ever to be a great deal of progress. It will be very interesting to see if there is ever any true convergence into a new European identity."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Darien Moore of Concordia (Ore.) has been named the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week and Justin Scruggs of Wayland Baptist (Texas) has been selected as the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Moore and Scruggs were selected based on their performances from March 17 – 23. This is the second award of the 2014 outdoor season.
Moore, a junior from Bakersfield, Calif., crushed the school record in the hammer throw on March 22 at the NCAA Division III Lewis & Clark Spring Break Open. His hammer throw broke a mark previously held by two-time NAIA national champion Greg Schultz of Concordia. Moore uncorked a 213-2 (64.97 meters) toss in the hammer to add nearly three feet to Schultz' best mark of 210-9. In addition to the NAIA's top mark in the hammer this year, Moore also opened his 2014 outdoor campaign with the nation's No. 1 effort in the shot put with a 60-6 (18.44 meters) toss and holds a six-foot advantage over the NAIA's No. 2 mark. Moore has already reached the NAIA championship qualifying 'A' standard in three events as he posted the NAIA's No. 2 mark in the discus with a 171-2 (52.17 meters) this weekend.
Moore also won the national NAIA Indoor Field Athlete of the Week on Feb. 19.
Scruggs (pictured top left), a sophomore from Nashville, Tenn., recorded the fastest 100-meter time in the NAIA this year at the War Hawk Classic, hosted by NCAA Division II McMurray (Texas) on March 22. He took first in a field of 30 runners with a clocking of 10.42. That effort would have won the NAIA National Championship event last season. He was also a member of the 4x100 relay team (40.85), which now stands with the top mark this year in the NAIA.

Harsh Bais, assistant professor in the University of Delaware Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, has chosen his research team well. Two members of his group, postdoctoral researcher Venkatachalam Lakshmanan and graduate student Emily Alff, have received travel grants from the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), which will enable them to attend the society's annual meeting this summer in Austin, Texas.
According to Bais, the number of ASPB travel grants is limited to 20 for postdocs and 30 for graduate students worldwide.
Alff received the ASPB travel grant for her project that explores the role of rhizobacteria in rice growth promotion and defense against the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, commonly known as rice blast.
Her research examines the natural relationships between rice plants and the microbial communities that inhabit the rhizosphere, the area surrounding their root systems. Secretions from the root system are rich in nutrients, which sustain microbial communities that can be detrimental or beneficial to the plant.
Rice blast can cause devastating crop losses, but Alff's research has demonstrated that certain bacteria can significantly decrease the effects of rice blast and improve plant growth. The goal of the project is to provide a basis for inoculating seeds with beneficial microbes, which is cost-effective for farmers and more environmentally sound than fungicides.
Lakshmanan's research was also selected for oral presentation in a "mini-symposium" on plant-microbe interactions as part of the conference. He studies microbe-associated molecular patterns, or MAMPs, which are responsible for triggering a plant's immune response if it is attacked by a pathogen. This signaling process is well understood in response to foliar pathogens; however, the role of MAMPs in response to the belowground microbial community is largely unknown.
Lakshmanan's project indicates that certain beneficial rhizobacteria are able to block MAMPs signaling and subdue an immune response from the plant, allowing them to colonize the plant's root system. The bacteria are beneficial because they subsequently activate the plant's immune response if it is attacked by another pathogen. Lakshmanan's research is expected to expand the current understanding of intra-plant signaling and its relationship with microbial communities.
Awards for current research in the field, which affects many of today's top issues, will be presented at the Plant Biology conference. Alff is eager to see how it will play out.
"It is extremely important to me to see the impact that plant biology research is making towards the vital issues of food security and safety, climate change, bioenergy, and medicine," she said.
Lakshmanan sees the plant biology symposium as "a unique opportunity to network and receive feedback from peers." At the conference, Alff and Lakshmanan will present and discuss their research with plant biology faculty, postdocs and students from around the country.
Alff says, "This meeting will help in my transition from a graduate student to a professional scientist. Receiving feedback from the plant biology community will help in preparation for my thesis defense and eventual job interviews."
The research conducted by Alff and Lakshmanan in Bais' lab is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Delaware EPSCoR program.

Naan Bread
Made up a batch of Naan bread tonight for my year's first Tandoori Chicken. I have a recipe for Tandoori Chicken that was given to me from an Indian ex-neighbour years ago and I will never stray from it. Too good. First time making Naan this way. Made it on grill with quarry tiles, preheated to a high heat. My trick is to pour bit of oil in the drip tray. The high heat causes flare up, and the flames cause the internal grill heat to go off the temperature gauge charts. I am sure this is not technically safe, so please do not try it...I am confident it works with my particular grill but can't be sure of safety with any other type of grill.
This weekend's Tandoori Chicken and mixed vegetable curry, with side of Raita and basmati rice...to make up for the lack of photos last tandoori dinner.

(WBAY) - As the nation anxiously awaits the Solar Eclipse on Aug. 21, viewers are being warned about potentially unsafe glasses.
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) says some companies are flooding the market with knock offs that do not meet the safety standard.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun – thereby covering the sun.
AAS says the fakes "do not block enough of the sun's ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation to make them truly safe."
Some sellers are printing the ISO safety logo and putting it on glasses. Some are making bogus claims about the safety of the glasses.
NASA says looking at a solar eclipse without the proper safety glasses puts people at risk of retinal burns.
Click here to learn more about eclipse eye safety.
The AAS says there are ways to test the safety of an eclipse viewer.
"You shouldn't be able to see anything through a safe solar filter except the Sun itself or something comparably bright, such as the Sun reflected in a mirror, a sunglint off shiny metal, the hot filament of an unfrosted incandescent light bulb, a bright halogen light bulb, a multiple-white-LED flashlight, or an arc-welder's torch," reads the AAS website.
The AAS has compiled a list of "reputable" vendors here:
Several retail chains are included on the reputable vendor list, including Best Buy, Lowe's, Toys "R" Us, and Walmart.

Scott Binsack spent Thanksgiving behind bars, and most likely away from a keyboard.
Scott Binsack spent Thanksgiving behind bars, and most likely away from a keyboard.
The fugitive who taunted pursuers and critics through Facebook and YouTube was caught by surprise in Bath, N.Y., by U.S. marshals and other authorities between 9 and 10 p.m. Tuesday at the Budget Inn.
To the end, Binsack continued mocking critics, seemingly unaware.
"Legal actions being filed and those corrupt ones (are) going down," according to a post, purporting to be Binsack on the "Clear Scott Binsack" Facebook page. "Understand this "�no one knows my whereabouts "�Stay tuned for the next post!!"
There was no next post. Binsack was taken into custody moments later.
"We caught him by surprise and he surrendered," said U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane.
Binsack has always been an adopter of emerging technology.
From prison, he ran a blog and a Twitter account titled "Illegally Searched and Seized" and even sold T-shirts and hats with logos.
With new avenues of social networking and the ease of digital video, he launched a number of Facebook pages after his release from prison in April of 2011. He used those pages to explain his past and attack those who questioned him in his adopted town of Shamokin.
One Facebook post contained a truth.
He did file a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, stamped the day he was taken into custody. The lawsuit, filed by Berwick attorney Frank Kepner Jr., claims that officials from the city of Shamokin and state Department of Probation and Parole denied Binsack his constitutional rights.
Binsack was previously convicted of fraud and writing bad checks in New York and the Pocono area.
Binsack failed to appear for a meeting with parole officials Oct. 25 and was declared an absconder. While Binsack is not classified a violent offender, Pane said any fugitive can be dangerous insofar as they are desperate.
After 26 days on the lam, Binsack was in the Steuben County, N.Y. Jail, and he is expected to be extradited to Pennsylvania.
Within 10 days he will face a first-level hearing to determine if there is probable cause for a violation of the terms of his parole. In this case, his violations may include failing to show up for a meeting with a parole officer, engaging in financial transactions prohibited by the terms of his release and harassment.
Within 120 days of that hearing, he will have a second-level hearing to determine whether he violated parole and what the penalty will be, said Leo Dunn, a spokesman for the state Board of Probation and Parole.
Binsack could go back to prison until May 18, 2014, plus any time he was on absconder status.
In 2001, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three to seven years in state prison for taking money from customers and not completing their homes.
He said the near-fatal automobile accident he survived in 1999 led to financial hardship, making him unable to operate his Brodheadsville company and finish those homes he'd started. He said he was unable to refund customers and filed for bankruptcy.

Departmental Philosophy
2D Design (Graphic Design)
The 2D Department is the graduate graphic design department of Cranbrook Academy of Art. The department is actively pursuing work at the intersection of design and art. Traditional forms of design, activities where the designer acts as a conduit for the communication of a third-party message, and non-traditional forms of design, activities where the designer's agency is foregrounded, are explored in the program. In both of these approaches to design, the emphasis in the department is placed on the experimental. Work being produced in the department falls on a continuum from book, poster and letterform design, through installation, social practices and contemporary art. The results of these investigations often exist at the threshold between design and art. In our conception, the designer is a powerful cultural agent able to seamlessly engage in many forms of cultural production.
Issues systematically pursued in the department:
- Work situated at the intersection of design and art.
- An exploration of the relationship between writing, criticism and production.
- The process of critique as a generative tool.
- An interdisciplinary approach to design.
- Objects first: theory, language, and writing all in support of the object.
The Academic Focus of the Department
Nearly all departmental activities are designed to support the act of making. Whether it is in critique, reading group, critical studies or individual desk critiques, our departmental focus is on the notion that design is idea objectified and meaning embodied. Theory, writing and criticism all play critically important roles in the department; however, they are in place primarily to support the process of objectification and making. This focus is articulated in our weekly structure, where the lion's share of our time is dedicated to studio practice. Simply put, this means we make work (together), discuss this work and consider its cultural implications.
The Designer-In-Residence, His Work and Your Relationship to Both
Cranbrook Academy of Art as an institution is based on a model unique in American education. Each of the ten departments at the Academy is led by an Artist-in-Residence. The Artist-in-Residence is charged with mentoring each of the members in his or her studio. In the 2D department, Elliott Earls works intimately with each student to craft a course of study unique to the individual. In addition to the larger Cranbrook studio each student is deeply involved in Elliott's professional practice. An important and programmed part of the curriculum involves a sustained dialog between student and mentor concerning both parties' work. The mentoring process in the 2D department is developed further through biweekly mentoring dinners held at Elliott Earls's home.
Our basic weekly schedule
- In Studio Work Time.
- GroupCritique.
- Departmental Reading Group.
- Desk Critique.
- Biweekly mentoring dinners at Elliott Earls's home.
- Lecture and meeting with visiting designers, critics or artist.
- Critical studies lectures and reading groups.
Weekly Schedule: Distribution of Time
Mapping the Cultural Terrain of the Department and its Work
As a graduate graphic design department there are certain fundamental issues that permeate our discourse – Efficacy of communication, typographic expression and the cultural role of the designer are chief among them. However the department is also acutely interested in an expanded and enlarged definition of the field. Effectively this means that issues germane to the other ten disciplines at Cranbrook are fair game in the department. Our departmental discourse owes more to El Lissitzky than Paul Rand. We are intellectually indebted to John Heartfield and Kurt Schwitters, Richard Prince and Ed Ruscha. We are as interested in Takeshi Murakami as we are Herb Lubalin.

Jean has gone off to school this morning after Xmas holidays. I have remade her school bag as it was shabby and too small. I put in fresh side-pieces to bag and pocket, from an old leather coat surviving from last war. Hope it hangs together. If not I shall send it to cobblers to be machine stitched. Yesterday we heard that the Grange at Huttoft was not demolished but windows blown out and serious damage done both to it and other property. Also there were some people killed but I think not Ailsby's. Edie A's young man, a soldier, was accidentally killed and now the war has blitzed their property. Once the war machine gets going it spares neither just or unjust but marches on over everything. I always think the tank is typical of war, just keeping on relentlessly over all obstacles crushing and mounting everything in its path leaving a trail of mangled remains behind. So it goes, but with it progress in science and engineering develops in leaps and bounds too. Strange how war inspires so many new ideas in these things, and best of all, perhaps, in surgery and healing. Well, if we are spared to the end of the war, we may see the beginning of this "brave new world" they speak of. Let's hope it does not prove a "mirage". It seems to me they don't allow God his proper place in all these schemes. One day in seven he asks, and the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. I interpret that as meaning that one Day given up to rest and the worship of God is necessary to the bodily and spiritual development of man, and that the omission of this is the root of all our troubles. Only through God is Life and if he is ignored how can we hope for Life Everlasting. All Life must have sustenance to continue and if we neglect the Source of Everlasting Life our souls must surely die of starvation.
Had a letter and wedding? cake from Mrs Jock a very nice letter. She says, on Tues. night Jock had a wire recalling him immediately but he stayed to be married on Wed. and returned on Thursday. He will wire when settled. Yesterday we posted a tray (like Ron's) and the slippers Jean made, to Mrs Jock, so hope they arrive safely. Rene put a note in and told her I would write later, so will wait until I hear that she has got them. The W. cake was pale and dry with a kind of almond cream on top, very war-time cake. Our people were very fortunate in theirs. The cause of E[lectric] L[ight] failure last week was a runaway balloon and the bombing on Sun. put it out of action again on Sunday for an hour or two, but it did not inconvenience us except for radio, as it was before tea-time. It is wet and stormy again, but so hope Rene will wash to-day, then I can have mine done tomorrow, but not a big wash so late in the week. Father finishes his patrol to-day. I am sorry, as when on patrol he has all his nights at home and I am rather nervous when he is out.
The Ailsbys of Huttoft were farmer Ben (brother of Harold – see 21 Dec. 1940) and wife Ada. Edie Ailsby was their daughter.
'Mrs Jock' was Mrs 'Jock' Brown, wife of the Army cook (see poem "January 12. 1943 or 'to J.B. and C.T.' celebrating their wedding.)

TSU's Valencia Jordan Serves on Panel for NCAA First Generation Documentary
Last week, Tennessee State University Senior Woman Administrator Valencia Jordan attended the NCAA's First Generation Documentary Screening and Discussion panel as a representative of the TSU athletics department.
The documentary, presented to the NCAA Accelerating Academic Success Program Pilot, is narrated by Golden Globe nominee Blair Underwood. It tells the story of four high school students – an inner city athlete, a small town waitress, a Somoan warrier dancer and the daughter of migrant field workers – who set out to break the cycle of poverty and bring hope to their families and communities by pursuing a college education.
Shot over the course of three years, this 95-minute documentary explores the problem of college access faced by first generation and low-income students and how their success has major implications for the future of our nation.
The documentary is in conjunction with the NCAA Accelerating Academic Success Program that was approved by the NCAA Executive Committee.
The purpose of this pilot program is to further the development of systems and enhancements that assist institutions in meeting the requirements of NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program (APP), including increasing the graduation rates and academic success of student-athletes.
"As a part of the regional rules seminar, the NCAA showed a screening of this documentary," commented Jordan. "They wanted the universities that received the Accelerating Academic Success Grant money to come and talk about the initiatives that we are doing on our campus that are in line with helping first generation students to be successful. I talked about our Academic Boot Camp and our Excel-O-Rate programs here at TSU. Both of those are summer programs that serve as a bridge for a student's transition from high school to college."
According to USA Today, roughly 30% of entering freshmen in the USA are first-generation college students and 24% — 4.5 million — are both first-gens and low income. Nationally, 89% of low-income first-gens leave college within six years without a degree. More than a quarter leave after their first year — four times the dropout rate of higher-income second-generation students.
"I believe the message of the documentary is a critical piece in getting first generation students to understand the process of getting into college," Jordan added. "I feel that it is a very good starting point and can be very successful and beneficial if it were to be shared in high schools throughout the country, especially those in the urban and some rural areas."
The release date for the documentary has not yet been announced.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - In a back-and-forth match, No. 5 Endicott College upset No. 4 Eastern Connecticut State University, 30-17, 20-30, 30-26, 26-30, 15-11, in an NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball New England Regional match on Thursday. The Gulls (26-12) will face either No. 1 seed U.S. Coast Guard Academy or No. 8 Mount Ida College at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Warriors close their season with a 30-10 ledger.
In the opening frame, Endicott turned an 8-8 tie into a 13-8 advantage. Eastern Connecticut was able to cut its deficit to three (17-14), but it was as close as they would get as the Gulls won 13 of the next 16 points.
The second stanza started in a similar fashion, this time with the Warriors taking a 7-5 edge. The Gulls won the next point, however, Eastern Connecticut tallied the next seven for a comfortable 14-6 lead. The Warriors went on to cruise to the second game victory.
In the third game, Eastern Connecticut established a 16-11 margin. Endicott slowly chipped away at the deficit as it eventually trailed, 20-19. The Warriors captured the next two points, but the Gulls answered with a six-point run for a 25-22 lead. Eastern Connecticut ended the rally, but Endicott held on for the win.
The Warriors raced out to a 15-4 lead in the fourth, which later grew to 29-18. The Gulls delayed game point by scoring eight unanswered points. The late rally was not enough as Eastern Connecticut was able to force a decisive fifth game.
After trading points on service errors, the Warriors went ahead, 3-1. Endicott scored the next four points for a 5-3 edge. Eastern Connecticut tied the game at six and then took an 8-7 lead at the changeover. The Gulls generated a four-point lead that helped propel them to the next round of competition.
Sara Moore paced Endicott with 21 kills while Steph Wiese registered a double-double with 19 kills and 12 digs. Brittany Nolan totaled a match-high 29 digs and three aces while Meghan Hall collected 23 digs and distributed 49 assists.
Eastern Connecticut's Emma Sousa led all attackers with 25 kills as Jessica Keogh and Angela Loomis notched 15 and 12, respectively. Sousa led the blocking corps with seven stops. Marianna Capomolla anchored the back row with 28 digs and contributed three aces. Priscilla Dougherty posted 49 assists and 15 digs while Sandra Jacques added 18 digs.

How To Make Your Own Keyboard Magnet Gift Set
Stuck for gift ideas but limited by a strict budget? Check out this DIY stocking stuffer. This keyboard magnets project devised by Laura Hall, the second post from our try-out contributor, is quick, cheap, handmade and customized. What's not to love?
What you'll need:
- Old keyboard with large keys
- Package of magnets (available at the craft store)
- Thin cardboard (a cereal box works well)
- Screwdriver
- Scissors
- X-Acto knife
- Superglue
- Q-Tips or cotton balls
For the packaging:
- Small-size plastic baggie
- Stapler and staples
- Markers, paint, etc.
1. Count out all the letters in the name or phrase you'll be spelling out. If there are doubles or triples, you'll need more than one keyboard!
2. Round up a spare keyboard or two. If you don't have one lying around, check the thrift store or ask on Freecycle. Mine were $2.99 at Goodwill.
3. Pop off the keys using a screwdriver.
4. Clean the keys using q-tips or cotton balls.
5. Computer keys have a long back (shown), which you can choose to leave on if you want your magnets to stand far off the surface of your fridge.
Otherwise, use scissors to score the plastic, and trim the extra with an X-Acto knife. (On the older of my two keyboards, the plastic was brittle enough to snip off with the scissors alone.) This took me about 10 minutes in total, so don't worry too much about this step.
Shave the edges to be even using the X-Acto knife.
6. Using the glue, carefully adhere the magnets to the back of the keys. Be sure to select a glue that has a rigid bond, like Superglue. It may depend on the strength of your magnet, but household repair glues like GOOP or Gorilla Glue have flexible bonds that can't withstand the pull when you remove the magnet from the fridge surface.
If you're using an instant bond glue, be sure to place the key very carefully on the magnet. It's easier than trying to put the magnet on the key, and once it's on there, it's st
7. As you wait for the pieces to cure, trim a thin piece of cardboard to the width of your bag. When you cut the cardboard vertically, double the size so you can fold the piece in two. Make a clean fold down the middle of the card.
8. Use pens, markers, glitter, paint, sequins, etc. to add some holiday dazzle (but remember, this might end up inside someone's stocking, so maybe keep the glitter to a minimum). If you do both a front and a back decoration, make sure each side's design will be right-side up when the piece is on.
9. When the key magnets are dry, slip them into the plastic bag, facing out.
10. Align the cardboard topper with the bag, front side out, and staple in place.
11. Slip the magnets into that lucky someone's holiday stocking and wait for Christmas morning, or leave the packet on the fridge for a surprise!

The TPS71xx integrated circuits are a family of micropower low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators. An order of magnitude reduction in dropout voltage and quiescent current over conventional LDO performance is achieved by replacing the typical pnp pass transistor with a PMOS device.
Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (maximum of 32 mV at an output current of 100 mA for the TPS7150) and is directly proportional to the output current (see Figure 1). Additionally, since the PMOS pass element is a voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very low and remains independent of output loading (typically 285 µA over the full range of output current, 0 mA to 500 mA). These two key specifications yield a significant improvement in operating life for battery-powered systems. The LDO family also features a sleep mode; applying a TTL high signal to EN (enable) shuts down the regulator, reducing the quiescent current to 0.5 µA maximum at TJ = 25°C.
Voltage – Power good (PG) reports low output voltage and can be used to implement a power-on reset or a low-battery indicator.
The TPS71xx is offered in 3.3-V, 4.85-V, and 5-V fixed-voltage versions and in an adjustable version (programmable over the range of 1.2 V to 9.75 V). Output voltage tolerance is specified as a maximum of 2% over line, load, and temperature ranges (3% for adjustable version). The TPS71xx family is available in PDIP (8 pin), SO (8 pin), and TSSOP (20-pin) packages. The TSSOP has a maximum height of 1,2 mm.

DailyDirt: Computers Are Editing Our Double-Plus-Ungood Content
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- The Los Angeles Times reported on an earthquake in about 3 minutes -- thanks to an algorithm that collected data from the US Geological Survey and automagically created an article about the seismic event. This robotic reporting isn't exactly a new thing, but the robotic "scoop" can't be matched by human writers. [url]
- About half of all the edits on Wikipedia are made by bots. Algorithms keep spam links from flooding the site, and they also create whole entries based on online data, as well as perform tedious tasks such as grammar and spelling corrections. Not surprisingly, the biggest bot job on Wikipedia is detecting vandalism. [url]
- Algorithms aren't free of bias; they can actually amplify biases. Humans can also trick algorithms by gaming their inputs and biasing results, so computer-produced content isn't necessarily more objective than the writings of humans (not that anyone here would have assumed that). [url]

FASHION WEEK: Kati Stern and Philip Pelusi..The Partnership
It is rare that editors get an opportunity to meet both the fashion designer and hair lead with enough time to actually have a chat. Well...somehow that happened this weekend when we arrived way too early at the Mercedes Benz tents for the Venexiana fall/winter 2013 collection
It was three hours before show time. Kati Stern, Venexiana's designer, was just floating around chatting to friends and family. Philip Pelusi, lead hair, was prepping his space and his Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi team. Why not ask them to share how this relationship works?
Why? "Because I love him!" says Kati. "He understands. I come up with this dream and he makes it come true. I do a lot of research. I have an idea in my head, and it becomes a reality with Philip."
Adds Philip: "Kati is the creative force. It's her line, her passion and her vision. It's a great collaboration...and she does allow for some creative interpretation."
In this two minute interview we get to meet both designers and hear it from their lips!

Well, I'll get it going then. I heard Tokyopop made some major edits to the storyline. What exactly are they, and are they actually as major? I own the first two volumes and was starting to finally get a better impression of them again and now this (well, this and Initial D, and the really sloppy Mew Mew translations).

Tokyopop rules all other translators (including viz) but yes, their translation of Initial D does suck balls. i am all for the support of the american manga industry... but after reading the first manga all the way though readking "tak" over and over... i want to find a scanlated version... or hell. a raw manga with a script translation.

I have read LH all the way through in both Scanlation and Tokyopop form multiple times each. As far as I can remember off the top of my head, there are 2 changes. Both have to do with the way the Japanese call each other by name.
Change #1: Chapter 106 (vol 13):
Change#2 Chapter Epilogue II:
As you can see, since they had Keitaro call her Naru instead of Narusegawa from the very beginning, they had to change the jokes a bit to fit it better. It didn't really affect the story though, and these are the worst changes they do, meaning the rest of the story is intact.

thats good. Ive bought most of the volumes and planning to buy all but one this saturday. (damn borders i have to order it!!)
They shouldve kept it tho, even tho its not a major change. I think Keitaro calls her Narusegawa in the beginning (dont remember) but the americans wouldnt really understand it about the first name joke. Even on anime threads i find myself or others having to explain the name thing.

ADV Manga does a good job with the name thing though. I recently bought the Full Metal Panic manga, and they seem to go by the Japanese rules more often than the English ones.

And you will notice that the ending of volume 11 in the manga is more or less the same as the one in Love Hina again

The LHA OVA was pretty bad. The fact that it gave a sort of closure to the anime was pretty much the only redeeming quality.
The manga is 10 times better than the anime/specials/OVA. But since I read it before I knew there was an anime, I may be biased.

No the manga IS alot better then the anime. At least in the manga the spring break makes any sense at all, and they don't need some ghost story to finish love hina again.
LH Again was a dissapointment for me, but then again maybe i expected too much of it since i still consider Love Hina the best anime i've ever seen.
About the changes in the manga, I have both the french translation as the english translation and there isn't much difference between them, dunno if newest edition by tokyopop is different though

i watched the OVA before i read the manga probably why i liked it more than you did. hahahaha. if i watch it now, id hate it for sure.
BTW: in vol. 7 there is a part where there is white space next to keitaro ovbiously for dialogue, however there is nothing in it. Is this because the tokyopop messed up or was it something they did on purpose? (2wice)

Actually the Love Hina manga would have been alot more fun and shorter if less crap is mixed into it. They are supposedly there for comic relief but I sometimes find them redundent and not funny at all.
Other than that, I like the series...

And although the mangaka stated that naru is cute because she beats up keitaro, i would have prefered if she would have at least STARTED stopping it around volume 5.
Its so strange: beating up keitharo---Why doesnt he confess? -- beating him up again... -- does he like me? --- beating him again.....
If the gender roles were reversed, it could be a social drama

Hmm..I think the anime and manga are both good until about Volume 11 where the manga is far superior. Kanako being my 2nd favorite LH character is much better in the manga than she is in the anime. I especially like the 'love chart' she creates and the Keitaro doll she makes for the other girls to punch before they can enter the restroom.

Bill Clinton Thinks He Can Ban Twitter, Facebook & Live Blogging From Event [Updated]
from the yeah,-that's-not-going-to-work dept
"PLEASE NOTE: President Clinton's representatives have mandated that there be absolutely no reporting during his session. That includes live blogging, Tweeting, Facebook posting or use of any other social media. We understand the inconvenience this may present, but greatly appreciate your compliance. Thank you."It's difficult to think of a request that is more out of touch with what is happening in the world today. It's quite normal for people to communicate via such social media methods and shutting them off entirely (which won't actually work) just seems petty.
Update: And... the inevitable backing down. Clinton's people now claim that it was all a misunderstanding, and they simply said that the speech would not be open to the press. They claim that the PR agency misinterpreted that to mean no live blogging, tweeting or Facebooking, but they're actually fine with it. Of course, again it makes you wonder why you have such a "no press" policy in the first place...
