Virtualization of operating systems used to be slow and hard to use. Advances such as the KQemu accelerator, VirtualBox, VMWare, Xen and of course the recent integration of KVM virtualization into the Linux kernel have helped out a lot though, especially on the server side, but for a normal user, virtualization could be somewhat clunky. Mac users have been able to run their Windows applications like this using Parallels Coherence, yet now other *nix users can too. Ordinary desktop or business users who require applications from another operating system can benefit from a seamless desktop.

Washington marijuana measure fires up debate
Updated 11:04 pm, Friday, August 17, 2012
Seattle --
Tens of thousands of people descended on a waterfront park in Seattle on Friday for the opening of what's billed as the nation's largest marijuana rally - an event that has a pressing political edge this year as Washington voters consider whether to legalize the recreational use of pot for adults.
Colorado, Oregon and Washington already have medical marijuana laws. All three also have legalization measures on the November ballot.
Washington's measure, Initiative 502, would allow sales of up to an ounce of dried marijuana at state-licensed stores and could bring the state nearly $2 billion in tax revenue over the next five years - if the federal government doesn't try to block the law from taking effect. Pot remains illegal under federal law.

"It looks like we're finally reaching a critical mass to end this critical mess," Hempfest director Vivian McPeak said as the festival began. "If I-502 passes, it'll be a historic moment."
Organizers expected at least 150,000 people at the three-day event. Thousands milled along the 1.5-mile long park under a blazing sun Friday afternoon, stopping at booths advertising colorful glass pipes, hemp clothing and medical marijuana dispensaries.
Despite the pot-tolerant crowd, there was no consensus as to whether I-502 is the right thing for Washington's marijuana smokers.
The measure has garnered opposition from the medical cannabis community, and some say its driving-under-the-influence provisions are so strict that it could prevent them from driving at all.
Others say the measure doesn't go far enough because it wouldn't allow people to grow their own pot for recreational use, although medical patients still could; it doesn't contemplate the industrial growing of hemp; and it would not allow recreational use for those between 18 and 21.
Because of the split, Hempfest - now in its 21st year of advocating legalization - is taking no official position on the measure, something McPeak called "very painful and very awkward."

All Albany Public Library locations will be closed December 23rd (Friday) through the 26th (Monday), then January 1 (Sunday) and 2 (Monday). That's fine – happy holidays, and all that.
More substantially, though, the library is cutting the hours at Main starting in January 2012, a reduction of six hours a week; the hours at the six branches remain the same. This is a function of the revised 2012 budget approved by voters in July after the budget voted upon in May was rejected.
Effective Jan. 3, the Main Library will be open:
Mondays — 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Tuesdays — 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Wednesdays — 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Thursdays — 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Fridays — 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturdays — 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sundays — 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The new schedule for the Main Library reduces weekly service hours by four hours on Thursday, one hour on Friday, and one hour on Saturday, but are unchanged on Sunday through Wednesday.
Personally, this is a drag.
My one hour a week at the physical library, as opposed to using it online, was Thursday night between the end of the workday and the beginning of choir rehearsal; sometimes, it was the one time I got the bulk of my blogging done. Not sure where I'll hang out now. I could go home, but then I'd have to turn around and come back downtown 20 minutes later, or less if the buses are running late. None of the branches are open Thursday night either, so that's not an option.

Prince Charles Seeks to Dispel Seven-Breakfast-Eggs Story
Prince Charles doesn't order seven boiled eggs for breakfast in order to choose the one he likes best, his office said in a statement designed to dispel myths about the heir to the British throne.
The claim was made by BBC Television presenter Jeremy Paxman in a 2006 book. The website of the Prince of Wales, as Charles is officially known, was updated today to dismiss that assertion and other commonly held views about the prince and his family.
"Does the Prince of Wales have seven boiled eggs cooked for his breakfast but only eat one, as claimed in Jeremy Paxman's book 'On Monarchy?"' reads one entry on the website. "No, he doesn't and never has done, at breakfast or any other time."
As Britain's monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, 86, celebrated 60 years on the throne this year, courtiers are gradually managing the process of succession. The prince will celebrate his 64th birthday tomorrow.
Charles has a reputation for eccentricity. In 1994 he was mocked in the press for revealing he talks to plants. He's been a vocal critic of some modern architecture, including calling an extension of the National Gallery in London a "monstrous carbuncle." He criticized traditional science in a 1996 speech in which he said it had assumed a "tyranny" over "our understanding of the world."
Today's statement on the prince's website also explains why, despite his environmental interests, the prince is driven in a Bentley and owns a classic Aston Martin that his son Prince William used on his wedding day last year.
Cutting Emissions
"The prince does not own or choose to drive around in a Bentley," it says. "The car is required for some engagements for security reasons" and is owned by London's Metropolitan Police. It points out that the prince's cars have been converted to run on biodiesel or bioethanol to reduce emissions.
The website also denies that Charles advocates dangerous and untested medical therapies, saying that he favors a "wider, preventative approach to health care by addressing the underlying social, lifestyle and environmental causes."
It also poses the question: "Does the prince dislike all modern architecture?" It answers: "No. The prince has been the patron of several contemporary architects, and has provided training to young architects through his charity, the Prince's Foundation for Building Community."

The first Chevy Camaro television commercial can still be seen on YouTube. It features a white Camaro RS/SS with the distinct bumble-bee nose band emerging from a volcano. The voice over happily introduces "The intense brand-new Camaro from Chevrolet … something you have actually never ever seen prior to."
While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the development of a four-passenger cars they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, marketing and advertising group prepared the world for the intro of a vehicle they called the Panther.
All through the summer season of 1965 practically every aspect of the vehicle's design and advancement, from initial design sketches to clay designs, was photographed and carefully recorded. Chevy utilized the assets to develop a 30 -minute motion picture The Camaro for sale in Nanticoke MD , which was later shown on TELEVISION and in cinema. They also introduced women's clothing called the Camaro Collection as well as a Camaro road race online game.
Classic Camaros- Buy Them Here
In November, Chevy sales executives and innovative people previewed prototype designs at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's age-old advertising agency, right away began work on brochures, direct-mail advertising and sales promotion materials, along with print, outdoor and TV/radio marketing. In April 1966, at the New york city Car Program Press Conference, Chevrolet sales executives confessed no name had been chosen for the new vehicle, however did announce that pricing of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Nanticoke MD design will be in the Corvair-Chevy II range.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy agonized over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management fidgeted about the aggressive connotations of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later cause the Pontiac version, code named the Banshee, to be relabelled Firebird. Over its short life time, the F-car had been called by many names including Wildcat, Chaparral, Commander and Nova. It's likewise reported that Chevy considered utilizing the letters "GM" in the name, and came up with G-Mini, which progressed into GeMini and lastly Gemini. However, GM's upper management banned the concept, fearing the automobile might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that somebody at Chevrolet lastly proposed the name Camaro and upper management rapidly concurred. Although the name has no genuine significance, GM scientists reportedly discovered the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "buddy" or "buddy." It's reported that Ford Motor Company scientists likewise found other meanings, consisting of "a shrimp-like animal" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Due to the fact that a number or pre-launch materials had actually already been launched utilizing the Panther name, Chevy's the majority of pushing obstacle was to now rename their brand-new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Nanticoke MD by looking for classic car dealers.

Talk:Daniel Rudnick vs. DoD and John A. Shaw: Motion to Dismiss, 2006
From WikiLeaks
The Official Defense Department report on the hijacking of the Iraqi cellular telephone tender in 2003 was the first IG related effort which uncovered major corruption in Iraq. The Daniel Sudnick vs. DoD and John A. Shaw suit has to be understood as an attempt to try to evade the clear conclusions of that official DoD report of May, 2004, on the corruption of the telecom tender in 2003. Daniel Sudnick was fired in April, 2004, as a result of a Bearing Point audit report that showed $435 Million was missing from Sudnick's Ministry of Communications account and all records destroyed. The telecom tender, worth $3 Billion, had been fixed by Nadhmi Auchi, the corrupt Iraqi billionaire, who managed, according to the report, to bribe a cross section of Iraqi, British, and American players, including Sudnick, in the process. Sudnick's basic contention in this was that his firing was prompted by Shaw as a result of rumors and ill will. Nothing could be further from the truth. The evidence, which was provided to the FBI, is incontrovertible.
Sudnick's suit was a peculiar outgrowth of a smear campaign intended to discredit the investigation and Shaw himself by raising phony allegations about Shaw and his office. The smear was orchestrated by Sudnick and his lawyer, his Baghdad deputy and lover, Bonnie Carroll, and a reporter from the LA Times, T. Christian Miller. Miller wrote a series of articles in the LA Times alleging that Shaw did not have the investigative authority to produce the report and claiming that Shaw had a sweetheart deal with an American company involved in the tender. It was like the dope peddler claiming that the cop who arrested him had taken a bribe.
At Shaw's request the report was forwarded to the Department of Justice and FBI in June, 2004, and in August, 2004, the Department of Defense issued an official press release saying that Shaw was not and had not been under investigation for anything and that he had operated entirely properly and within his area of authority and jurisdiction in his pursuit of wrongdoing in Iraq. In the interim other newpaper reports showed that Miller's stories were simply untrue. Finally, both the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense announced that the case which Sudnick raised against Shaw was closed and baseless. The FBI investigation of Auchi, Sudnick, and others, however, continues with the active cooperation of Shaw's former office at the Pentagon.
Daniel Sudnick was only a bit player in a very large corruption scheme. Whatever moneys he may have gained were small change in Nadhmi Auchi's frame of reference. But the money trail is significant and is being followed by both Justice and Treasury.
The smear campaign and the law suit were merely attempts to try to use the relative unavailability of the DoD report to create a false reality. It did not work. A federal district court dismissed Sudnick's suit with prejudice earlier this year. Your statement that the decision was based on process is correct, so the falseness of Sudnick's claims were never addressed by the court, which was his intention. As with T. Christian Miller's articles, however, there is not a single important claim in Sudnick's legal complaint that can be shown to be true. The DoD report is available on Wikileaks and its underlying evidence is in the hands of the FBI. There are reportedly 70 Iraq corruption cases now in preparation at the Justice Department.
FBI Closing in on Iraqi Telecom Corruption and Daniel Sudnick
The New York Times article of Feb.14, 2009 bearing upon the role of Col. Anthony Bell in Iraq contracting corruption and the murder of Dale Stoffel, an American contractor who had brought corruption charges to DUSD John Shaw in the Pentagon several days before his death, indicate that the trap is finally closing on the first and largest contracting fraud in Iraq reconstruction. The article centers on military figures and does not touch on actions against civilian employees in Iraq and ongoing investigation and prosecution by the FBI and Dept. of Justice. Bell's pending indictment, however, would have repercussions on the case of Daniel Sudnick, the US senior director of telecommunication in Iraq, who was fired in April, 2004 for misappropriating some $435 million. (The overall value of the telecom fraud was in excess of $10 Billion).
Bell was the contracting public affairs officer for telecommunications as well as other sectors in Iraq who was summarily removed about the time of Sudnick's firing. Bell is widely believed to have covered up widespread fraud in Iraqi contracting. The FBI has been investigating his case for over five years, and Bell is believed to have cooperated with the Justice Department in its investigation. The missing US and Iraqi money appears to have been laundered through a US non-profit Iraq veterans charity set up by Daniel Sudnick's deputy in Iraq, which employs her, Sudnick himself, and his attorney Timothy Mills at inflated salaries. The three together initiated the above case to try to smear Shaw and his office and divert attention from their theft of the missing millions.

Dead WaterLarge Print - 2013 | Large print edition

CommentAdd a Comment
A treat as always.
I appreciate the description of the land and people. I was so enamored with Shetland that I got out a book on the islands. Ann Cleaves gives good character depth so you get to really understand the people.
I haven't read Ann Cleeves' Shetland series in any order. It makes no difference. An excellent series and Dead Water is no exception.
Set in Shetland, this novel uses both DI Jimmy Perez, recovering from the death of his fiancee, and Willow Reeves to solve 2 murders which seem to be related to the prospect of renewable energy plants to be built in the community. Be prepared for many villagers' names and the names of small communities where the detectives interview possible suspects and witnesses. Good plot with clues thrown in every once in a while to keep the action moving. Everything is explained in full detail at the end as the DIs rehash the motives for the murders and how it was done. It was the first Shetland book in the series I read and it did not matter to me not to have read the preceeding novels in that series.
Cleeves deepens our knowledge of Perez and Rhona Laing and adds Willow Reeves to the sustaining cast of characters. The number of people keeping secrets made the mystery difficult to untangle, so the identity of the murderer was unexpected, but logical, which is what kept me turning the pages, although Jimmy Perez was a rather depressing character in this book. He's still recovering from having his fiancée killed by a psychopath, so that's realistic, but his actions, although explainable, make everyone around him off balance, not knowing what to expect from him--and he's not enlightening them, either. I'm looking forward to the next book, though, since I've become involved with the characters and the paths through the clues and the solutions to the mysteries are always absorbing.
For those of you who enjoy this character (as do I) Knowledge Network will be airing this series starting Oct.5. Enjoy
Avid Reader of Mysteries
would love to see the series, the writing brings the islands to life!
Another engrossing entry in this great series. Love the Shetland Island setting where the weather acts as a virtual character: foggy during a murder, drizzly during lulls in the investigation, lashing rain during action/danger and sunny and warm at resolution. Jimmy Perez, life on hold after the death of Fran, stirs back to life himself when his help is needed to solve two murders. Also, a new inspector from Inverness adds an interesting thread. I hope Cleeves continues this series.
I was so looking forward to reading this especially since it is being made as a t.v. Drama in Britain. Such a promising start, then the plot got slower and slower to the point I was skipping whole paragraphs. I certainly hope the people making the movie can inject a little more life into the story and not rely on shots of the Shetlands.

GEORGE: It's always worth taking a chance on Giffen and DeMatteis, two writers behind some of the most fun DC series in history. The New 52 needs a shot of lightness, so here's hoping these two can grab me with this more than they did with the Larfleeze series.
STEPHEN: So this is what happens when the publisher closes the door on the Legion of Super-heroes? We'll find out later today when I pick up a copy and then discuss the issue in detail with Matthew on the next Dueling Review.

SOLICITATION: "Meet the Secret Society of Santa Clauses. For centuries, Father Christmas, Ded Moroz, Hoteiosho, and others have magically distributed Christmas cheer to children around the world. But when the source of their power is stolen, a desperate Society turns to an usual source for help: the dreaded Krampus, child-punishing demon of holiday lore. Free of his cell for the first time in decades, will the Krampus uncover the truth behind the Santas' depowering or leave his jailers to their ultimate fate? It's Snake Plissken by way of the Grinch as the darkly comedic adventure begins here."
CHRIS: I didn't even realize Krampus was a real thing until recently. Shows how stupid I am. That makes it even more hilarious. Such a mean and twisted concept. This looks to be capturing some of that hilariousness and I hope there's just enough insanity to make this a personal holiday classic.
WAYNE: With the holidays right around the corner and Krampus' popularity on the rise, this comic couldn't come at a better time! Check out the Anti-Santa Claus!

CHRIS: I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, having read all the original stories and absorbed lots of other media involving the character .

He's become one of my favorite villains of all time and I can't wait to see what this comic does with him.

Health IT merger and acquisition deals increased over the past year, according to a report by investment bank BerkeryNoyes.
Total healthcare IT M&A volume increased 21 percent annually, while aggregate value increased 5 percent, from $11.36 billion in 2011 to $11.96 billion in 2012. Private equity firms were responsible for four of the industry's top 10 highest value deals in 2012.
"Health care is in desperate need of technology innovation and fresh ideas and fresh capital.""The robust level of M&A activity shows there are plenty of desirable, fast growing companies – many privately owned and SaaS enabled solutions – that are attracting very high multiples and appealing to both strategic and financial acquirers," said O'Connor. We expect to see a lot of smaller, SaaS enabled solutions in attractive niches and rapidly growing companies come to market in 2013 and attract robust prices."

Arrow Ladd Van Brocklin
I am going to begin by warning you that there are quite a few pictures in this post......but let's be honest, how could I narrow it down anymore? My sister (
B Couture Photography
) was beyond amazing and made it in town for the birth of Arrow, and managed to get his newborns done before she had to head back home. To say I am in love with these is a major understatement. They turned out perfect!
The styling we went for was super simple and clean so it focused on how handsome little Arrow is. I die over how cute his features are, and I love how well these pictures capture them. If you can't tell from these pictures he has really big hands and feet just like Hanes, so I'm guessing he will be pretty tall like his brother. At his two week appointment he was 55% in weight, 99% in height, and 40% in head. That sounds pretty similar to what his brother was. I have to say one of my favorite pictures of all is the one of the two together. Hanes sure loves his baby and will cuddle him any chance he gets. I hope it stays that way!

Shattenkirk lifts Blues past Hurricanesby Kurt Dusterberg / NHL.com
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The St. Louis Blues haven't had many worries recently. But coming off a 6-0-1 homestand, coach Ken Hitchcock thought they had something to prove.
So when Kevin Shattenkirk scored the only goal of the shootout in a 3-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena on Friday, the Blues did more than extend their winning streak to four games.
"This was a big game to win," Hitchcock said. "We played back to back, and our record was only two games over .500 on the road (11-9-2). To start off the second half of the season with a big road win is important, so they deserve a lot of credit."
The Blues (31-13-4) are 9-0-1 in their past 10 games and had an impressive start to this game. After a strong forechecking shift, Steve Ott threw a no-look backhand pass to Ryan Reaves between the circles, where he got a quick shot past Hurricanes goalie Anton Khudobin at 1:58 of the first period.
Reaves, who has a goal in two straight games, credited newly linemate Marcel Goc, acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, for adding a boost to the fourth line.
"Goc has come in here, and the chemistry seems to be there early," said Reaves, who had five shots and six hits. "He's adding a little patience to our line, especially in the defensive zone. He's getting the puck out so me and [Steve] can go to work in the offensive zone."
The Blues kept the pressure on the Hurricanes (17-25-6), scoring 1:27 later to take a 2-0 lead. After defenseman Justin Faulk blocked a shot, Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo fed David Backes in the slot for his 17th goal, eighth in his past nine games.
"It seems to be a commonality for the team on the second game of a back-to-back," Backes said. "You're already into the swing of things. You sort of pick up where you left off."
The momentum quickly stalled when the Hurricanes pulled Khudobin in favor of Cam Ward, who made 29 saves in relief.
"The thing that helped Carolina was changing the goalie," Hitchcock said. "They hit the reset button. We had the two shifts where we hit the goal post then missed the empty net. Otherwise, it's 3-0 or 4-0."
Carolina answered on its first shot of the game at 10:57. Forward Jay McClement's hard work in the corner paid off when he found Faulk, who lifted a wrist shot from the right point past the screen of Brad Malone to make it 2-1.
Carolina tied the game in the second period on its first power play. Ryan Murphy's shot from inside the blue line deflected off Backes and bounced past Allen at 14:19. The goal was Murphy's first of the season and was assisted by Riley Nash and Jordan Staal.
"They just woke up, to be honest," Shattenkirk said. "They came with a much harder game and much better push. That was the team we expected to see."
Neither team scored again in regulation, but the goaltenders were sharp. Allen stopped a wrist shot by Jeff Skinner and a tip by Jordan Staal in overtime, two of his 26 saves. Ward was at his best in the third period, stopping shots by Paul Stastny and T.J. Oshie in a flurry in the final minutes.
"Towards the end, in the second half of the back-to-back, we didn't have as much legs," said Backes, who extended his career-best point streak to nine games. "Jake did a good job keeping us in there."
Allen then held the Hurricanes at bay on all three shots in the shootout, although Chris Terry appeared to have him beat.
"I just try to be as patient as I can, just sort of outwait them," said Allen, who also stopped Victor Rask and Eric Staal. "Terry made a nice move, and luckily it got the crossbar. Sometimes it's a crapshoot, but you just try to outwait the guy."
Shattenkirk, who scored the shootout winner Thursday in a 5-4 win against the Nashville Predators, beat Ward inside the post to the blocker side. The Blues defenseman has seven game-deciding shootout goals among his eight successful attempts.
"I try to look to shoot, and if it's there, I go for it," he said. "Luckily, it surprised [Ward] a little bit."
Carolina's loss was a blemish on a strong January, when they are 7-2-2.
"I don't really have an explanation why but it was definitely a slow start," Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. "It was 2-0 but it could have been 3-0. The goalie change was more to slow their momentum down and obviously not a reflection on the goaltender. They were apologizing to [Khudobin] before he got within 50 feet of the bench."
The Blues will play three of the next four on the road, including on Sunday at the Washington Capitals.
"We wanted to come in after the All-Star break with the same confidence," Reaves said. "We've come off the break feeling good and we're keeping it rolling."

Malky: 'We deserved more'
After a thoroughly deserved point from this afternoon's home clash with Play-Off chasing Middlesbrough, Malky Mackay felt his struggling side were worth more than a point.
'It's a point more than we had. I think the performance possibly merited a win today.
'You look and see who's gained points and who's not gained points, but at the moment we keep looking at ourselves and we keep looking at the games that we've got ahead of us and I look at the performance today and the amount of work-rate and application they put into that and they're still driving forwards with five minutes to go to try and get the winner.' Mackay told SkySports News
Gordon Strachan on the other hand had little to say regarding the game, and was much more focused on his side's dwindling chances of reaching the Play-Offs:
'There's always a chance. We've not done enough at the moment to say we should be in the top six.
'Whether we'll be able to do something in the last six games to say we should be in the top six, then that's it, but at this moment we've not done enough, in terms of winning games, to be in the top six.'
Watford remain 21st, but have added another point between themselves and flailing Crystal Palace.

Studio Masr elevates Middle Eastern charm with its new restaurant in Abu Dhabi
Studio Masr is proud to announce the opening of its first restaurant in the United Arab Emirates. Situated in the capital's World Trade Centre Mall, the stunning location offers customers the chance to enjoy the best of Middle Eastern cuisine.
Studio Masr already has twenty five branches across Egypt and one in Saudi Arabia and operates through Crème de la crème a member of Saif Belhasa holding within the UAE.
Studio Masr, a leading Egyptian movie-production studio in the golden era of the Egyptian cinema, has been revived into a casual dining restaurant with a cinema based theme. Delivering an authentic cinematic dining experience that is casually elegant yet infectiously fun; the film-production themed restaurant features sets of the most famous Egyptian movies. Some of the dishes have been inspired by past movies and reflect the names of the historic films produced by Studio Masr. The Mediterranean grill offers the most recognized dishes and collective flavors from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Wessam Eldin Shehata, General Manager, Crème De La Crème a member of Saif Belhasa Holding, said: "It gives me great pleasure to announce the opening of the new Studio Masr Restaurant in Abu Dhabi; we feel it brings something exclusive to the UAE. Studio Masr restaurants are designed to give customers an exclusive dish from Middle Eastern Cuisine and an Egyptian film experience. We will open a second restaurant in Dubai and plan to have three more restaurants to follow in the next four years."
The restaurant features 324 square metres of warm casual ambience, including a huge collection of movie star portraits under a string of festival lights. The restaurant attracts a highly loyal clientele; it is usually filled with all demographic based customers. The Studio Masr menu is centered on charcoal grill kebab items such as marinated beef, lamb, chicken and seafood. Guests can also enjoy the Jordanian Mansaf, Lebanese Mezza and Studio Masr's popular dessert, The Ailit Zizi.
Crème De La Crème aims to build the Studio Masr brand, to make it the forefront of Middle Eastern cuisine. The Abu Dhabi restaurant will introduce Studio Masr's brand across the UAE in the food & beverage market. Crème de la crème is looking towards the future by identifying new outlets for more Studio Masr restaurants to open in the next few years.

There is a definition of chutzpa that is as old as the hills – a man who is arrested for killing both his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.
The problem with Chutzpa and companies that develop what we here at NPNM call "The 800 pound gorilla attitude" is that no matter how big you are, no matter how tough you think you are, eventually there will be a David to your Goliath and kick you right in the gnads. Those who read this web site and have listened to show 65 have been privy to our conversations sparked by this interesting read over at We Fly Spitfires. The real id fiasco (poorly thought out garbage if ever there was such) will no doubt one day be the first big "mistake" by Blizzard. As for the Activision side of the house, if Kotick et al lose their day in court against Infinity Ward that will certainly be their first….
Or so I thought.
This came across our news desk this morning via gamepolitics.com (another of our MUST reads).
While speaking to GamesRadar about his forthcoming title, Greg Hastings talked a bit about his time spent with Activision, and they are not fond memories. "I had to fire Activision for doing such a poor job," said Hastings.
He continued, "Within 24 hours of me shipping my PlayStation 2 game, Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball Max'd, they sent me a letter and they said, 'We feel you've abandoned your franchise, and we're going to commence making games called Greg Hastings Paintball without Greg Hastings.' – Via Gamepolitics.com
I had to read that last line several times before I believed that any business executive anywhere would be brave enough to pen the words without sufficient legal standing to back them up…
"…and we're going to commence making games called Greg Hastings Paintball without Greg Hastings."
Wow. Just Wow. Talk about colossal arrogance. Uttering such claims with nothing to back them up is like a gun slinger in the old west who is using a cap gun. This, dear readers, is a pile of chutpa that would make the mighty Mount Everest pale into insignificance.
Fortunately Mr. Hastings won his day in court stating "A Billion-dollar company tried to steal my identify, and I was able to fight and regain my identity. That's why I'm on cloud nine; I was able to fight the giant and I am a success story against Activision."
Between Mr. Kotick's recent loss in court as reported by Gamepolitics.com (which did not involve Activision) as part of a sexual harassment law suit, Infinity Ward, and now this, Activision's reputation for honest dealing might just end up sinking like the Titanic.

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Every afternoon, a little white-haired man with pool room pallor and a rolling gait walks out of the Hermitage Hotel to the parking lot across the street and spreads bread crumbs for the pigeons.
On his way he sometimes gets stopped by strangers who want to shake his hand or introduce their children to him. He always obliges, partly because he likes the recognition and partly because he thinks it is work not being nice. And nothing could be more damaging to the reputation of Minnesota Fats than for word to get around that he had engaged in work.

Wilhelm Stenhammar's symphonies, piano concertos and songs have edged their way into the UK repertoire, though we have still to take on board his Serenade in F, and his two great ballads for baritone and orchestra, Ithaca, and Florez and Blanzeflor. All three works share the theme of transience. The serenade's gracious exuberance founders midway into melancholy, after which the mood remains darkly ambiguous. The heartbreaking medieval narrative of Florez and Blanzeflor positions the lives of a pair of lovers against the turning of the seasons, while Ithaca re‑imagines Ulysses' homecoming as a metaphor for man's desire for rest after the conflict of existence. The performances, with Hannu Koivula conducting the Gävle Symphony, make up in atmosphere for what they occasionally lack in refinement, and the ballads are sensationally sung by Karl-Magnus Frederiksson. The disc also includes the world premiere recording of Prelude and Bourrée, an early (1891) work, the manuscript of which has only recently come to light. It's a slight piece, strongly influenced by Schumann, but done with bags of elegant charm.

I recorded this sound during a cymatics experiment that I conducted with Pramila Vasuvedan of Annichia Arts to see if patterns in mustard seed would emerge. To generate the tones I connected my WSG to a simple amplifier and then to a twelve inch speaker with a platform suspended above the speaker cone. Mustard seed was poured onto the platform as we tested different frequency and amplitude combinations. This experiment was not quite successful, probably becuase the WSG has multiple oscillators, but we learned a few things in the process and created some interesting sounds, as well as some unbearable ones that I'll refrain from sharing. Listen for the hiss of the mustard seed vibrating on the one eighth inch thick panel of plywood that we used as a platform.

Lakshadweep Tourism
Lakshadweep Islands are also known as the Laccadive Islands. It is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea. This island is about 220 to 440 km off the coast of the South West Indian state of Kerala. These islands and Cochin are linked by ship, which takes about 18 to 20 hours and by flight, which take 90 minutes.
Lakshadweep Islands and Andaman Islands are the similar islands. This group of Islands are endowed with the beauty of coral reef, sandy beaches, unpolluted and clear water and hospitable settings, most of these differ in terms of facilities and services offered.
Lakshadweep means a hundred thousand islands in Malayalam, the local language. It is a union territory of India the tiniest and has the country's one of the coral islands. However there are only 36 islands having a total area of 32 sq kilometres. Lakshadweep is the northern part of the erstwhile Lakshadweep. The islands are the northern most among the Lakshadweep-Maldives-Chagos group of islands, which are actually the tops of a vast undersea (submerged) mountain range, in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.
Perhaps the charm of Lakshadweep islands lies in their remoteness. Far off the beaten track, they attract no hordes of merry markers to their shores. Or perhaps it is the beauty of the islands densely covered with coconut palms, and threaded by an unbroken line of creamy sand; each island serenely set in a sea whose waters range from palest aquamarine and turquoise to deepest sapphire and lapis lazuli. Yet again, may be the unique charm of Lakshadweep lies in the fact that each island, a tiny principality in itself, has existed from time immemorial, with little influence from the outside world. Though all the islands are endowed with the beauty of coral reef, sandy beaches, unpolluted and clear water and hospitable settings, most of these differ in terms of facilities and services offered. Some islands have been promoted for diving and water sports still others have been developed so that people enjoy the charm of relaxation and natural enjoyment. Since the land is precious and scare it is avowed policy of the administration to relieve pressure of land and promote water based tourism. The motto being admires and not exploits that natural beauty.
The flora of the islands includes banana, colocasia, drumstick, bread-fruit, and wild almond. Coconut is the only crop of economic importance in Lakshadweep. Cattle and poultry are commonly seen. Oceanic birds are also generally found in one of the uninhabited islands known as 'Pitti'. This island has been declared as a bird sanctuary.
The Lakshadweep administration has taken a holistic view of tourism development. It promotes tourism as a composite package, comprising accommodation, transportation from and to main land by ship air, catering facilities, recreational facilities, water sports, scuba diving, boating, wind surfing etc.
The facilities of these two islands, Bangaram and Agatti are being managed by private agencies. Private divers also run the scuba diving school at Kadmat. The thrust is on promoting ship based tourism for Indian nationals at fordable rates and the local Administration's efforts in the regard has met with great success. As the ship cannot enter the lagoon, the passengers are transferred on small boats and brought to the islands jetty.
Lakshadweep comprises twelve atolls, three reefs and five submerged banks, with a total of about thirty-six islands and islets. The reefs are in fact also atolls, although mostly submerged, with only small unvegetated sand cays above the high water mark. The submerged banks are sunken atolls. Almost all the atolls have a northeast-southwest orientation with the islands lying on the eastern rim, and a mostly submerged reef on the western rim, enclosing a lagoon. The main islands are Kavaratti (where the capital city, Kavaratti, is located), Agatti, Minicoy, and Amini. The total population of the territory was 60,595 according to the 2001 census. Agatti has an airport where there are direct flights from Kochi, Kerala or Ernakulam (Cochin).
Tourists need a permit to visit the islands; foreign nationals are not permitted to visit certain islands. Consumption of alcohol is not permitted in the islands except on Bangaram Island. Coconut cultivation and fishing are the chief occupations of the people. Boat building was once an important skill. Sadly, after the advent of motorized boats, this has reduced considerably.
However, majestic wooden boats anchored along the shore stand silent testimony to a fragment of the past. Boats were built for fishing, for navigation from one end of the island to another for inter island communication, for transporting coconuts and dried fish to the mainland and returning with food supplies, as well as for friendly competitive race. Each boat was built differently, according to its function and every island has its own slight variation in design. The people of Lakshadweep are often commended for their honesty. Absence of crime in the island is laudable.
Spiced coconut-rich Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian food. Curried, fried and barbecued fish.
Lakshadweep Tourist Season
Lakshadweep tourist season is October to May for the ship based tour packages. Agatti and Bangaram may be visited throughout the year.
Things not to do
Consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in all islands except Bangaram. Picking up Corals is a punishable crime.

David Flick, 42, was charged with fourth-degree stalking, a misdemeanor, according to a press statement from the county Sheriff's Office. He was arraigned in Ballston Spa Village Court and sent to county jail on $2,500 bail, according to the sheriff. "An order of protection was also issued barring Flick from all county office buildings with the exception of the office of the public defender and any office associated with mental health services," Investigator Rick Capasso said.
We're working on getting more information.

Aubrey O'Day And Her Funbags Are Back!
It's been a long time since Aubrey O'Day did anything worth writing about, but here she is giving my pants region a blast from the past with her old Danity Kane bandmate Shannon Bex at the House of CB flagship store launch in LA. I'm not sure what they were doing there (well, besides giving me a retro lesbian fantasy), but all I know is, it's way better seeing Aubrey with Shannon than that Jersey Shore douche she's with in the other shots. So enjoy.

That's right, another concrete clad bunker Casa. What really got me excited about this house was seeing the video that was produced for it. The video portrays how one would function in the house. There is some really cool functionality that you would probably miss just looking at pictures. The way the house "opens up" with it's different windows is genius. I would love if more architects made movies about each project, you really get a sense for the space. Click "read more" to check out the video.

text: Does anyone have a suggestion for locations in South Carolina near Charleston? I would love to go upstate but don't have the time. I've lived here for 3 years. I am running out of places to go. I go back to the places I've already been, I know lighting changes, things change... etc. But for pete's sake I now have 850 photos of downtown Charleston alone. I must have about 1000 shots from the beaches in the area. I've gone to all but one plantation, I've gone to the Cypress gardens and swamps twice, I've seen enough of that new bridge to last a lifetime, and I've gone to all the forts twice. In fact, I've had people who lived here longer than me, some native even! That see my photos and say Wow where is that! I've never seen that! Now that's pretty bad.

Season's Greetings
Chic holiday cards by local designers
'Tis the season of photo cards—a great time to support local artists. The LA-based gals at Social Type offer their super-clean, contemporary holiday cards through Minted. (We're also a little obsessed with their elf-themed gift tags.) Minted also carries Andres Montano's fun Santa-going-down-the-chimney card, a non-photo option that's equal parts retro and sentimental. For those who like to keep things low-key (and religion-neutral), GeekInk's Simply Joy card kinda nails it. And though San Diego isn't exactly local, we dig Elum's Merry & Bright design, available at Tiny Prints. Snapping the perfect photo is up to you.

An underwhelming BCS inspired sentiment for serious reform. This wind of change may not restrict itself to the upper tier. CBS' Brett McMurphy is reporting there is "growing support" among the sport's powerful for a dramatic reduction of the bowl season, raising the entry barrier to seven wins and, as a consequence, eliminating five to 12 bowl games. Fourteen six-win teams appeared in bowls during the last cycle, 13 in 2010.
As with the BCS, the impetus is TV ratings. The 2011-12 cycle dropped eight percent from last year and earned the lowest average rating of the BCS era. Twenty-one of the 34 games saw a decline, 11 by more than 20 percent. Average bowl ratings have fallen 37 percent since 1998, when there were 21 bowl games. The postseason exhibitions have passed the saturation point.
ESPN, the driving force behind bowl expansion, might support this postseason consolidation. A broad ratings shrink obviously hurts the network. The seven bowl games owned and operated by ESPN Plus were among the worst performing. Five of the seven saw a decrease, four by 23 percent or more. The Armed Forces bowl did increase by 8 percent, but was also the second lowest-rated bowl game.
BBVA Compass: SMU vs. Pittsburgh, [-32 percent, 1.49]
New Mexico: Temple vs. Wyoming [-15 percent, 1.54]
Beef O'Brady's: FIU vs. Marshall [-23 percent, 1.52]
Las Vegas: Arizona State vs. Boise State [-37 percent, 2.05]
Hawaii: Nevada vs. Southern Miss [-32 percent, 1.44]
Armed Forces: BYU vs. Tulsa [+8 percent, 1.43]
Meineke Car Care: Texas A&M vs. Northwestern [+2 percent, 2.69]
Cutting the number of games, and subpar teams in those games would be beneficial. Sixty-eight entrants engenders an "everyone gets a trophy" feel. "Reaching a bowl is hardly a marker of success when 10/12 Big Ten teams make it. It cheapens the postseason by making it "less special." It also cheapens the regular season with teams scheduling to hit the six-win barrier. Beating an FCS team, three overmatched FBS team and going 2-6 in your conference is not a commendable achievement.
Beyond that, we would adjust the games' scheduling, clustering the games together and consolidating them within the expected Christmas through New Years period.
Clustering The Games: College (and NFL) football occur, for the most part, one day a week. There's a cycle of scarcity, buildup and fulfillment that becomes routine. Fans are primed and, by Saturday, ready to find football, any football. This cycle breaks down during bowl season. Instead of the Pavlovian Saturday/Football response, it is consciously deciding whether to watch a specific game, often in conflict with other activities. There's no hype. There's no anticipation. The football must stand up on its own merits. A cluster of 4-5 games per day with time would feel more like a Saturday, or New Years Day.
Bowl Week: Schedule as many games as possible between Christmas and New Years. That's when fans are home and expect to watch bowl games. It's not a shocker that those ESPN games don't do well when scheduled on Dec. 17 (New Mexico), Dec. 20 (Beef O'Brady's), Dec. 22 (Las Vegas) and Jan. 7 (BBVA Compass). The casual audience doesn't expect bowl games to be played on those dates. The invested audience is either unenthused or fatigued after having mediocre football, every day for a month.
Reduce the number of games to about 25. Take a lesson from your own sport. Schedule the weaker matchups in a first wave (8-10 games between Dec. 24 and Dec. 26) and the stronger matchups in a second wave (10-12 games between Dec. 30-Jan. 1). Let the Cotton Bowl and others stand alone if they wish. This should be more compelling and earn better ratings. Bowls would have to share the spotlight, but they would have a spotlight to share.

Draft clock now ticking for Kubiak
Published 6:30 am, Tuesday, January 24, 2006
Wonder if Dom Capers still loves Jason Babin? Does he love him to the tune of a fourth-round draft choice?
While Charley Casserly has Dom on the phone to discuss Babin, he should casually mention that Morlon Greenwood, Gary Walker and Phillip Buchanon can also be had. Package all three for a fifth-round pick and a shipment of stone crabs.
What's that, Dom? Only a sixth-round pick for three NFL starters? You drive a hard bargain, Coach, but you've caught us feeling charitable.
Capers wanted those four players when he was the Texans' head coach. They're part of his legacy. He'll surely want them around as he settles into his new job as defensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins.
A starting point
Just a thought, but what if Dom wants Charley, too? The Texans wouldn't part with four players and Casserly, would they? Wouldn't that decimate the franchise?
Yes, it would. At the same time, there's a human element involved. Dom was a class act in Houston. He could give the Dolphins an immediate jolt.
Someone tell Charley to pack his suntan lotion.
Yes, I'm kidding.
Capers is unlikely to invite his mistakes to join him. Well, except for Vic Fangio. Dom has a blind spot for his former defensive coordinator.
Otherwise, it'll be up to new Texans head coach Gary Kubiak to clean up the mess Dom and Charley have made.
Kubiak's first important decision — Reggie Bush or Vince Young — will offer the first glimpse into his vision. It's also his most important call because it's the starting point for everything else.
The Carr questionBush is the painless choice. He would step into the backfield beside David Carr and probably be the NFL's Rookie of the Year in 2006.
Kubiak should draft Bush only if he thinks he can win a championship with Carr at quarterback.
Texans owner Bob McNair is supposed to have asked his staff this question recently: ''Is David Carr the problem?"
Wrong question.
David Carr has never been the problem. After four years, it's still unclear whether he's a problem or a solution.
The Texans used their very first pick on him, then gave him almost no chance to succeed. He never had a real quarterback coach, offensive line or tight end. If Carr is a problem, he's a small one.
McNair's question should have been: ''In four years, how many moments of brilliance have you seen from David Carr? Have you seen enough to believe he's the guy we want leading us? Does he have the leadership skills and physical gifts to be a championship quarterback?"
These questions are almost unanswerable because of all the other poor decisions. In the end, Kubiak's answer will be a leap of faith.
Kubiak may approach the argument from a different angle. He may think that if he turned Jake Plummer into a productive quarterback, he can do the same with Carr.
Or does Kubiak draft Vince Young? Young might be easier to evaluate than Carr, even though Young has never played an NFL game. His leadership skills are unparalleled. He has a smorgasboard of skills. He's so good it seems incomprehensible the Texans wouldn't take him.
Some have suggested the Texans ought to take Young and let him spend a season or two as Carr's understudy. Terrible idea. It's unfair to both players. If Young is going to be the guy, he has to be the guy in 2006.
Young has played in more pressure games than Carr. He has thrived on the big stage. He's better than Carr today and probably always will be.
Focusing on Carr's trade value is a waste of time. It's a short-term answer to a long-term question. His value is too low because of the circumstances in which he has been forced to play.
If Kubiak decides to build around Young, he must swallow hard and get what he can for Carr. Either way, Kubiak can't make the same mistakes Casserly and Capers made. He must hire a quarterbacks coach and upgrade the talent around the QB. He must do all those things whether that quarterback is Young or Carr.
No one knows what Kubiak will do. Certainly, the worm who has been leaking the "it's going to be Reggie" gossip from inside the building doesn't know.
Kubiak was a reluctant interview subject during his years with the Broncos. He treated chats with reporters as if they were a required nuisance. When he wanted to talk — in job interviews, for instance — he did poorly.
What really interested him was dealing with players, formulating game plans and calling plays. Being a head coach may force him to reveal more of himself, because he'll do more news conferences in a week than he sometimes did in a season. Even Patriots coach Bill Belichick has gotten better at mumbling a thought or two per month.
In the end, Kubiak will reveal plenty on draft day. With 95 days to go, he's on the clock.

Doctors always strive to save patients' lives
Tuesday March 8 2016
The Daily Nation's coverage of malpractice in Kenya health sector was no doubt widely read. The articles gave a negative impression of the medical fraternity in general and doctors in particular.
There are is an almost infinite number of confounding circumstances that influence the kind of treatment offered by a doctor and the outcome.
This, however, is not to say that there are no outright cases of professional negligence or malpractice. However, in some cases, what to a lay person may appear like negligence or malpractice is in fact a very comprehensible or unavoidable occurrence which professional colleagues can comprehend.
Take the diagnosis of cancer, for example, various specialists are involved. The patient presents to the surgeon or clinician with a lesion, which the doctor will examine and if found to be suspicious, appropriate investigations, often imaging (CT scan, MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound) will be recommended.
The radiologist will analyse the image of the lesion and give a report which may indicate that it is consistent with a particular type of cancer and recommend that a sample of tissue be taken for analysis in the laboratory. The sample will be taken by the surgeon in a procedure known as biopsy and sent to the pathologist, who will analyse the tissue and report that the features are suggestive or consistent with that of a particular cancer. Note that both the radiologist and pathologist will very rarely state with indisputable certainty that this is cancer.
The surgeon will then act on the basis of his clinical findings backed by the radiological and pathological results.
If after removing the entire organ it turns out that the lesion is actually a different one, then it may be unfair to condemn the surgeon who actually followed the proper patient management protocol. Peers can only condemn an act of omission or commission in which their colleague could have performed better if matched against the performance of a similarly trained colleague.
In a country like ours, finding these specialists in one centre outside Nairobi is indeed a great privilege. The surgeon may be the radiologist and pathologist and whatever he does at this point is judged by what any other reasonably trained doctor would do under similar circumstances. In other words, what may constitute negligence in a well-equipped urban hospital may be a life-saving effort in an ill-equipped rural village health centre.
A reasonable number of patients give half-truths to avoid blame or responsibility or even seek compensation. Others may be in denial and deliberately mislead the doctor into making a wrong diagnosis.
The other problem is simply failure by the lay people to understand medical manoeuvres, for example a situation where a patient's ribs fracture during resuscitation. This has often been taken as malpractice by people who do not understand that when the heart stops suddenly, every effort is made to keep it manually pumping even as attempts are made to restart it.
Under such circumstances, fractured ribs are the least of the doctor's worries as one would rather have a living patient with fractured ribs than a dead one with the ribs intact. This is just one of the many examples where medics may be condemned as accomplices to murder, especially when handling a politically high profile patient.
Finally, not everyone who works in hospital or wears a white coat is a doctor. Doctors are even blamed for what has been done by cleaners. The media should inform patients of their rights while working with doctors and other health professionals to improve the quality of care.

In case you haven't taken note, Kurt Warner caused quite the stir last week with his comments about not wanting his children to play football. Everyone from analysts to former players to current players have weighed in on the matter, with some ripping Warner for dogging the game while others completely agree with him. Amani Toomer was one of the first to rip Warner for his comments, and on Tuesday morning one of Toomer's former teammates took to Twitter to express his support for Warner.
"By the way, Kurt Warner is right to think how he is thinking about his kids and football," Osi Umenyiora wrote. "It's an awesome game and has done a lot for me, but I know when I'm 45 there is a strong chance I'll be in a wheelchair. If I can avoid that for my son, I will. But if he wants to play I won't stop him.
"Love Toomer that's my guy, but he is dead wrong attacking Kurt like that."
We don't want to sit here and beat a dead horse, but the stuff Osi said makes a lot more sense than the overreactions we saw by Merril Hoge and Toomer. When it comes to the safety of your children, the whole "the game has done so much for me" thing kind of goes out the window.

This is the home of the Braids project.
Braids was written to create patterns for woodcarving, and since it might be useful to others it has been released under GNU GPL through SourceForge. Below is a working Java Applet version of the program for you to try. It is less useable than the standalone Java Application version, but gives a taste of the functionality. You can download the executable jar at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/braids/ . The jar contains the code for the standalone version and for the applet.
Basic concepts:
Braid diagrams are made up of rectangular 'tiles' each with a fragment of the braid pattern on. These tiles can be moved and resized on the drawing surface. They are created either by invoking a popup-menu (right mouse click) and selecting the type of tile, or by dragging a tile from the palette on the right of the screen. The tiles can be rotated or flipped to ensure the correct edges meet.
There are four kinds of tile. In each the underlyimg braid fragment has been manipulated so that it forms a useful shape. These different shapes can then be layed next to each other to form many patterns. The kinds of tile are:
The patterns on the tiles can be chosen from the limited selection in the default dictionary, or can be created by one of two methods:
Each braid fragment has a unique name. The braid fragment in a tile my be local to the tile - only that tile has the exact pattern, or it may be stored in the dictionary, and a reference is held in the tile. If a reference is held, then when changes (edits or design) are made to a tile you have the option of changing just the local tiles pattern or of changing the patttern in the dictionary. If you choose to change the pattern in the dictionary then all the tiles using that dictionary pattern will change. During fragment design you can see the changes happen to all the tiles using the pattern.
At the top of the palette is a drop-down list. This list allows you to select the pattern from the dictionary that will be used when you drage a tile from the palette.
Editing a Braid Fragment
Editing of braid fragments gives you the opportunity to create your own repeating units. You can design your own corners (because corner tiles do not always look as good as they should). You can create patterns or designs as you choose. You can then mix these designs with with algorithmically designed tiles. Editing a braid fragment consists of adding, removing, and reshaping lines.
To remove a line, right click on it and choose delete.
To add a line right click on some empty space and choose 'line'.
To reshape a line, first click on it to select it. When selected you will see some scaffolding drawn in light grey. The scafflding consists of 'handles' (small squares) joined by line segments . You can reshape the line by dragging the handles to new locations. If you need to create a new handle, first choose the line segment on which you would like the new handle, thenn drag that line segment. A new handle is created automatically. If you wish to remove a handle, arrane for it to be on a straight lline between the handles either side. It will be removed.
You will notice that there is a rectangle on the screen. This rectangle represents the extent of the pattern fragment. Think of it as the window through which you will llook at the fragment. Any line, or portion of line outside this window will not be visible in the finished fragment. To help you visualise the finished fragment, the invisible portions are drawn in a lighter colour. When you accept edits, only those lines that wholly or partly wiithin the window are kept. Lines that fall entirely outside the window are discarded.
Making use of the Braid Patterns
Of course, all this iis useless without a way to use the patterns. Because of the limitations of the applet version of the program, you cannot save, load, or export the patterns. With the full version you have these options.
Currently there are two (or three depending on how you count them) means of export.
