'Slum pope' returns to slum with message of hope
RIO DE JANEIRO -- The "slum pope" returned to the slum.
Pope Francis received a rapturous welcome on Thursday as he visited one of Rio de Janeiro's shantytowns, or favelas, a place that has seen such rough violence in the past that it is known by locals as the Gaza Strip.
Despite heavy security and a cold rain, Francis waded into the cheering crowds and hugged and kissed residents young and old before blessing the altar of the shoebox of a church that serves the Varghina community. He then met with a family in its squat yellow home and prayed before a replica of Brazil's patron saint, the Virgin of Aparecida.
His open-air car was mobbed on a few occasions as he headed into the neighborhood of flimsy, brick shacks, but he never seemed in danger. In fact he was showered with gifts as he walked down one of the main drags without an umbrella to shield him: a paper lei, or necklace, hung around his neck and he held up a scarf from his favorite soccer team, Buenos Aires' San Lorenzo that was offered to him.
"Events like this, with the pope and all the local media, get everyone so excited," said Antonieta de Souza Costa, a 56-year-old vendor and resident of Varginha. "I think this visit is going to bring people back to the Catholic church."
In the last two decades, the Catholic Church has lost legions of faithful in the country, most of them poorer Brazilians who have switched to Pentecostal evangelical churches that have a huge presence in Varginha and most slums like it.
Francis came to bring a message of hope, following in the footsteps of Pope John Paul II who visited two such favelas during a 1980 trip to Brazil and Mother Teresa who visited Varginha itself in 1972. Her Missionaries of Charity order have had a presence in the favela ever since.
Like Mother Teresa, Francis brought his own personal history to the visit: As archbishop of Buenos Aires, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio frequently preached in the poverty-wracked slums of his native city, putting into action his belief that the Catholic Church must go to the farthest peripheries to preach and not sit back and wait for the most marginalized to come to Sunday Mass.
It was one of the highlights of Francis' weeklong trip to Brazil, his first as pope and one seemingly tailor-made for the first pope from the Americas. Later Thursday, he was to preside over a welcoming ceremony on Copacabana Beach for World Youth Day, his first official event with the hundreds of thousands of young people who have flocked to a rain-soaked Rio for the church's Catholic youth festival.
The Varginha slum butts up against what until about six months back was the largest "cracolandia" -- crackland -- in Brazil, where hundreds of crack cocaine users would gather under a train overpass and use the drug openly night and day. Crumbling brittle shacks give the area a bombed-out feel.
The slum on Thursday was buzzing with excitement: a group of 200 schoolchildren held blue and white balloons and construction-paper flags of yellow and green, the colors of Brazil's flag. Every time a police helicopter buzzed overhead, the kids screamed with delight, their shrill high voices drowning out all over noises around.
"I'm super excited to see the pope. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity!" Antonio Sousa, a 28-year-old slum resident, shouted over the din of screaming residents who packed onto the street the pope walked down. He held aloft a plastic statue of the virgin Mary covered in plastic given the cold rain falling on Rio.
Security was tight: In addition to the police helicopters, sharpshooters perched atop buildings, metal barricades held the ecstatic crowd at bay on the street and police officers were posted every 5 feet (2 meters).
Varginha is one of the smallest of Rio's more than 1,000 slums. It's a triangle-shaped chunk of flat, dusty land sitting between two putrid waterways full of raw sewage. On the third side runs a busy main road with an elevated commuter train that noisily rolls by overhead.
The slum's surroundings somewhat ease security concerns, with the waterways acting as natural boundaries and only two roads 300 yards (meters) apart from one another allowing access.
Varginha is a so-called "pacified" slum -- police invaded it in January and pushed out a heavily armed drug gang known as the Red Command, then set up a permanent police post in the slum that had seen virtually no government presence for decades.
The pacification program started in 2008 as an effort to secure Rio de Janeiro before it hosts the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament and the 2016 Olympics.
There are now 33 permanent police posts set up in Rio, covering 1.5 million people.
Francis started his day by receiving the keys to Rio and blessing the Olympic flag, joining a long list of popes who have shown an interest in the positive role sport can play in society.
Francis also greeted some of Brazil's Olympic athletes during a brief visit to Rio's City Palace. From the balcony, he blessed the Olympic flag with holy water and imparted a blessing on those gathered. Rio de Janeiro is hosting the 2016 Summer Games.
On the eve of the London Olympics, then-Pope Benedict XVI issued a message saying he hoped the 2012 Games would help promote peace and friendship. Pope John XXIII greeted Olympians in Rome for the 1960 Games.

In studying how Dead Space sold, a key stat loomed large for EA.
EA's Glen Schofield, studio manager for the company's Dead Space team at Visceral Games, appeared on the second episode of EA's official podcast to talk games, mention that Dead Space had co-op during some of its development cycle and explain the company's take on Dead Space's sales.
And he dismissed the thought that what held Dead Space back was a lack of online play.
Here's their key exchange, at 22 minutes, 56 seconds of last week's episode:
We looked at how many we sold. We also looked at — we didn't have online which is one of the big features that you need to have to kind of keep it in the house a little bit longer these days. But then we also did studies on sort of how many unique users there were on the PSN network and Xbox Live. And realized, you know what, there's over three million people that have played Dead Space. Maybe we've only sold 1.5 million or whatever the number is. But there's something there because that means that, ok, there were a lot of used sales. So there's a lot of people when I go out and talk to [them]… it seems that everybody has played it or heard about it or whatever.
One of the podcast's hosts asked Schofield if adding online was key. Had there been pressure to have an online?
I think it's bang for the buck is really what we're looking at right now these days and going: 'OK, we came out at 60 bucks and so did some of these other games that had online that maybe people could play for 50 hours, right? Or they had tons and tons of PDLC [paid downloadable content] so they could play it for 40, 50 hours again. Or we were up against Fallout, which was a 50-hour game to begin with. So, we didn't look at it and say we have to have online. What we said we've got to be bang for the buck. Some people could get through our game in 10 hours or so, so we learned.
For the record, Dead Space did have PDLC, in the form of several optional downloadable suits. But it had no narrative expansions, purchasable multiplayer modes or other offerings issued for games such as Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5 and more.

Onkyo appears to be the latest HD DVD defector, announcing they're "suspending" support for the format. This comes on the heels of Blu-ray and Warner's coup de grace and less than a year after Onkyo announced its lone HD DVD player, the DV-HD805. They haven't closed the door all the way, but does anyone else see Onkyo "resuming" support for HD DVD? [Wesley Tech via Crunch Gear]

Have you noticed that the Living Room or Living Room that looks bright and tasteful is sometimes not the place to buy futon, chic design and style in one style only. Matching the opposite or the unlikely together is part of making the room look as good as it looks. For beginners, this would be confusing at the time of purchase. Today we take a look at the opposite pairing process to check the list of efficient shopping next time than to know the color. Knowing the color tone is very important to choose the right pair. We usually divide the color into two tones: hot tones and cool tones. Cool colors are black, blue, purple, blue, green, green, light green and yellowish green. The hot colors are yellow, orange, yellow, orange, red, and magenta. The middle colors are black, white, and brownish gray, resulting in the opposite coloration in the same ratio. Choose the right color Color is the first thing we often confuse to buy futon first. You sometimes think of colors like one, but the furniture in the market is another color. So before you start coloring. First, choose the main color scheme. I would like to appear in a room 3, 4, or 70% of the room before the principle of color choice is not difficult. The overall tone is usually cool. Let's see what color you like, your style, or your wall as a whole. You like the modern style, you can choose the main color tone is white, gray, black, blue or you like the vintage. It may be black, brown, sweet like a white tone, pastel cream like the natural selection of brown beige, so fill the opposite color. In fact, the opposite pair of colors has a simple observation principle. It looks completely different, such as white - black, blue - red, yellow - blue, orange - black. The fact is, we do not rely on the hot color match with that cool tone. Just like the feeling is enough. The technique is to try to fill in the opposite color. By more than 30% of the room. Let's see some interesting colors here! Mercer41 futon Orange is a color couple that gives a modern, modern feel. Try to color the main furniture is white, gray and black and add a little orange to add a freshness to the Living Room. May be mixed with the opposite orange color, such as blue indigo, etc. Mercer41 futon Yellow is very good with black tone. Yellow color will drive the black. The dark blue tone may be added a bit. Mercer41 futon Red is a color scheme that requires extreme care in decoration. I would recommend using a red color that is not too fresh for the beginner. Red is a very noticeable color scheme, so it does not need to be used much.

Exactly how I pictured it! Love how simple, yet classy it is! Great price for the quality of the futon. I recommend this product to anybody who wants quality and perfection. color and style is just perfect.

Living Room L-shaped and U-shaped fabric both wide and deep. Enjoy the day! Check the type of fabric thoroughly. There are many types of cloth used. Synthetic fibers and natural fibers. Each type has different properties. The linen will be soft while it will show a unique wrinkle, which some people do not like. Another common problem is the itching caused by wool or wool. Do not forget to wear shorts to buy the skin to fully touch the fabric. Before you buy, do not forget to check the details of the fabric that contains the fiber. Check firmness. If Living Room soft sit and feel comfortable. It is ideal for both sitting and sleeping. But if you choose the elderly should be Living Room Dense space will not hurt back. Sit and get up easily. Check the structure of Living Room The structure of Living Room can be made of various materials. But this point is difficult because we often do not see. It is good to ask the source and type of termites do not eat through the moisture level. Living Room The fiber foam sponge is placed into the layer to obtain the softness that customers need. If it is Living Room spring system, because the spring is colored with sponge and drop into powder, it is recommended to use Living Room Webbing system, which is high elasticity. Instead of springs, the sound is not as loud as the sponge. Ducks and goose feathers should be selected by the goose. Geese are animals that keep themselves clean than ducks. Geese will dress themselves all the time. The hair is beautiful and quality. But it is more expensive.
Regardless of whether the futon is large or small, the main purpose is to be flexible. Many housekeepers dream of having a large futon . It will take time to cook happily. Many people specialize in the floor of the Living Room , but the large futon comes with a lot of space to wipe away. So if you have a space for a modest futon and want to see Cozy with it.

Putting it all together... again.
Recovery Maintenance Principles for Nurses evolve over many years of work, practice, and many discussions. I found, in my work as executive director of the Florida Intervention Project (lPN) for Nurses, there was little material available on relapse prevention for health professionals in general and for nurses in particular. The recovery maintenance principles described here fill this void in the relapse prevention literature.
The idea of developing informational modules on relapse prevention specific to the needs of recovering nurses began about 10 years ago. It was clear that there was a crucial gap in the treatment, recovery support, and monitoring of nurses in Florida's IPN. Through conversations with trainer Roland Williams, IPN staff, nurse support group facilitators, and recovering nurses throughout the state the idea for this workbook began to take form and suggestions for module topics and content came forth. Modules were subsequently designed and tested. Formal implementation began initially through the IPN nurse support group network. lPN's 85 nurse groups allowed for approximately 1,000 recovering nurses to participate in module assignments and discussion. Subsequent formal and informal feedback from participating facilitators and recovering nurses has been extremely favorable.
The first workbook received great success. It was used by several State Nurse Monitoring programs (e.g. Washington State, Tennessee, Texas, and Louisiana) and many individual nurses who preferred to work the text in solo and/or with a recovery sponsor and/or peer group. On-going feedback from Group Facilitators, Alternative to Discipline Program Directors and individual nurses has been critical to the continuing success of the Recovery Maintenance Model. We have found that the principles within Recovery Maintenance Workbook for Nurses are easily trans ferable to other recovering health care professionals and are based on the premise that daily action is at the heart of a solid recovery commitment.
The second edition of the Recovery Maintenance Workbook for Nurses was printed in 2010 along with the addition of a Facilitator Companion Guide for group leaders who use the Workbook within their groups. Continuing education credit is also available now for nurses who work the modules. In States were mandatory continuing education is required for on-going licensure; nurses have found the ability to obtain continuing education for their module work an added benefit! My dream for nurses in recovery to have solid relapse prevention materials is being realized thanks to my co-author Dr. Gretchen LaGodna and many others who have helped along the way!

Vintage tone and modern appeal with a new finish, neck shape, and tremolo.
Featuring a flat alder body, bolt-on neck, steel bridge components, and 3 proprietary PRS DC3 single-coil pickups based on PRS's award-winning 513 model platform, the DC3 has a warm, vintage tone and loads of modern appeal. The steel components in the bridge retain the balanced resonance of the alder and provide a clear, but expansive, tone and the 3-pickup configuration combined with a 5-way blade pickup selector offers ample switching possibilities. You've got to hear this guitar.
The DC3 incorporates the following new features:
V12 Finish
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith.
Pattern Regular Neck Shape
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for PRS and a hallmark of their quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The new "Pattern Regular" neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80's at PRS's former Virginia Avenue location.
This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows PRS to even more preciously shape and consistently reproduce their necks.
PRS Tremolo with Steel Components
The bridge plays a crucial role in the tone of a guitar by transferring the string's vibrations to the tonewood. When executed well, the bridge will enhance the wood's natural resonance. The PRS Tremolo with steel components offers a clear, expansive tone that sounds especially pleasing in guitars with single-coil tones.

Heartbleed OpenSSL Bug
Is CommuniGate Pro vulnerable to the OpenSSL Bug discussed here: https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140407.txt
CommuniGate Pro does not use OpenSSL (not the library itself, nor any parts of the source code) and does not support the Heartbeat extension (RFC6520). It was the improper implementation of this extension in OpenSSL that lead to the vulnerability described in CVE-2014-0160.
In short, the SSL/TLS implementation in CommuniGate Pro is not affected by this OpenSSL bug.
However, if you are using certificates (wildcard certificates, certificates with alternative names) on your CommuniGate Pro server that are shared with other software (e.g. apache web servers) that might be using buggy OpenSSL versions, the private key could potentially have been leaked by that other software. In that case, it's better to consider re-generating the private key and obtaining a new certificate.

eufyCam: The Wirefree Security Cam with 365-Day Battery
Hate getting robbed? Love solving mysteries? Installing a security camera might seem like an obvious answer for surveillance, but it may surprise you that only 3 out of 10 homes have any sort of security device set up. And, as basic as a security camera system might seem, you'll be surprised to know that other cameras on the market actually present more problems than solutions.
eufyCam is designed from the ground up to offer wireless freedom. We eliminated power cables, wall outlets, and the need to drill holes, giving you freedom to install eufyCam practically anywhere. Stick the mount onto any flat surface and eufyCam's ready to go—in less than a second; or just stick it directly onto most metallic surfaces.
Place eufyCam anywhere you want surveillance.
In developing eufyCam, we made it our priority to offer the longest battery life in the industry to ensure a convenient and top-notch wire-free experience. So it only made sense that we partnered up with Anker—the leader in charging technology—to maximize the efficiency and charging speed of the battery.
This collaboration resulted in eufyCam having the power to run for 365 days (or 3 years in Standby Mode) per charge when actively monitoring areas such as your front door or driveway, not idling by in your attic.
Birds, dogs, and falling leaves can trigger other security cameras into sending you false alarms. We understand that a security camera that sends you excessive false alarms will just be ignored, or even worse, unplugged.
eufyCam reduces false alarms by up to 95% by applying a 3-step scanning and filtering process. First, register your friends and family as trusted faces, then, once someone approaches the vicinity of your house, eufyCam can determine if that person is someone you trust to further reduce the alerts you get.
After this triple-filtering process, eufyCam will send you a notification according to your security level preference, whether it's alerting you of all movements detected or only when a stranger's face shows up.
All this data processing happens in a flash, so you will be notified in seconds when a stranger is at your door.
The 140° wide-angle lens provides a panoramic view, spanning from your driveway to the front door—with no spots missed—making it ideal for catching people walking past or towards your home.
Top-of-the-line Sony Exmor sensor combine with large f2.2 aperture to offer around-the-clock Full HD surveillance, recording sharp and bright video during the day, plus crisp and clear Night Vision footage in the evening.
Based on 2-camera set and 30 days history review package for a year.
Designed to protect your home as well as your wallet, eufyCam is a one-time purchase that combines security with convenience. Paying for cloud storage should be an option, not a voluntary-but-mandatory cost to claim your security footage.
Because eufyCam records video to local storage, you'll have easy access to your footage from your smartphone. For Free. Just insert the included microSD card* and you're all set. Alternatively, by subscribing to our cloud storage plan, you can expand your security options to include simultaneous recording to the cloud.
*Included 16GB microSD card, which you can expand anytime you want, records approximately 1 year of video on one camera, with 10 videos per day, 30 seconds each.
*Cloud Storage optional for $2.99/month per camera.
Your data is for your eyes only. That's why it's secured with AES 128-bit encryption. Access to your footage requires the microSD card to be inserted into the Base Station it's registered to, and you are logged on to the account tied to the Base Station. So that means you and only you can access the data. Not a thief, not your neighbor, nor anyone from the eufy Security team.
Constructed from cutting-edge ASA composite material, which offers unrivaled strength and protection against the elements, eufyCam works perfectly indoors and outdoors. Whether it's raining, a freezing -4°F (-20°C) winter or scorching 122°F (50°C) summer, eufyCam will keep watch over your home.
The built-in microphone and speaker provides you with direct communication—via your smartphone—to the door. Whether you're at home or out, speak directly to whoever walks up to your home.
Open the eufy Security app and your smartphone becomes a window for high-resolution streaming of what eufyCam sees in real-time.
- More Capacity - by packing in more battery capacity into the camera
- Better Power Management - by using advanced battery technology from Anker
- Less Consumption - by utilizing HybridWave technology for 70% less energy consumption
The DNN (deep neural network) algorithms that eufyCam uses are inspired by the human brain, which are designed to see patterns. By recognizing patterns, the DNN algorithms categorize the sensory data eufyCam receives to filter out irrelevant patterns, so only pertinent information is analyzed.
Once the patterns are analyzed and determined to be human, the facial-recognition engine kicks in to scan the faces to compare to the database to determine if you need to be alerted or not.
The eufyCam will ship to backers in the U.S., Canada, and 28 European Union countries including the U.K. We will continue to review shipping options for our other backers and keep you posted of any updates.
eufyCam is built with the future in mind, and that's why we'll continually develop peripheral products to work with the eufyCam system, starting first with our entry sensor. The eufy Entry Sensor can help prevent break-ins by sounding an alarm and sending you alerts when a door or window is ajar while you're sleeping, or out and about. Easily installed and monitored with the eufy Security app, the sensor can operate for 2 years with the included CR123 battery.
To find out how to order add-ons, please read the April 19th entry on the Updates page.

"You can write erotica about anything," Rachel Kramer Bussel tells me over brunch at Hash House a Go Go. "You could even write about that Bloody Mary," she says, pointing to our friend Tess' cocktail. The drink has such a commanding presence, with its thick slice of bacon, red slab of tomato and protruding celery stalk, it almost needs a table—or a room—of its own.
Before I know it, I'm spinning a tale in my head about the busboy, the waiter, the waitress and cook, a tangle of arms and legs, a not-so-secluded pantry off a busy kitchen and … well, you get my point: Anything, from food to feet, can be eroticized and used as a jumping-off point for a hot, steamy tale of sexual seduction and arousal.
At least that's what Kramer Bussel thinks. She has edited 39 anthologies of erotica—with six more in the works—that explore everything from plane sex and hotel sex to spanking and bondage. She's written dozens of short stories, including "Monica and Me," her first published piece of erotica based on her fantasies about former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The world is her erotic muse, and it's clear from talking with her that she wouldn't have it any other way.
Kramer Bussel, 35, who lives in Brooklyn and works full-time as a senior editor at Penthouse Variations, was one of 90 people from various parts of the world who attended the first-ever Erotica Writers Conference in Vegas over the weekend. For members of the Erotic Authors Association, the idea to hold a conference had percolated for years before finally coming to fruition. As conference co-organizer Kathleen Bradean recounted via email: "At one writer's conference, a presenter pointed to several erotica writers in the audience, and admonished us to write something that matters instead of wasting our talent on trash." For Bradean, it was a wake-up call. She realized that erotica writers needed a space of their own where they could "talk shop without judgment."
The point of erotic stories and novels is to arouse and entertain. And given just how wide a spectrum there is when it comes to sexual desires and fantasies, there are as many different kinds of erotica as there are sexual activities. If you can imagine it, someone has probably written a story about it. Do chemistry labs turn you on? Vintage cars? Thunder storms? What about libraries? Zombies, vampires, frat boys, pretty boys? Paranormal activity? How about Godzilla? If so, there's a world of erotica at your fingertips just waiting to be discovered.
But what makes for good erotica? I asked this question of almost everyone I came into contact with over the course of the conference. First and foremost, they told me, a story needs to be well written. Good sex writing is a process of translation, turning an event, or a fantasy, into a story. It needs to have a strong story arc, characters that readers are invested in and a clear sense of motivation. In other words, readers want to know why that woman in a fancy restaurant is so turned on by the sight of a juicy hamburger on a stranger's plate. The only limitation is a writer's imagination.
During one panel presentation, "Your Sex Life as Story Fodder," an audience member asked a question that was likely on the minds of many: "Do you need a diverse and interesting sex life in order to write erotica?" The panelists responded with a resounding, "No!" As one person put it: "Did Agatha Christie kill all those people in order to write her books?" Of course she didn't. And while experiential knowledge, the kind one gets from being tied up in Chinese rope bondage, might find its way into a story, it's not a requirement. You can research any sexual subject, according to the panelists, be it erotic nipple play or sex machines, through books, videos or the Internet. And if your historical novel is set in the 17th century, it's best for the sake of accuracy to not also reference a car park.
According to Brenda Knight, an associate publisher with Cleis Press, which specializes in "how-to" sex guides and erotica, the market for erotica has seen an uptick during the recent recession. In the year following the onset of the economic downturn, which started in October 2008, Cleis' sales jumped by 56 percent, a byproduct, Knight told me, of "recession sex." People were staying home and looking for inexpensive forms of entertainment. For many, erotica became a source of sexual inspiration, something they could use to enhance their sex lives for relatively little money.
Sexuality affects so many different areas of people's lives, and when writers can bring elements into their stories that go beyond sex, whether its intent is serious or playful, Kramer Bussel finds that especially interesting. "I've read stories that deal with cancer, body image, breakups; but they can also deal with your job or your family." In erotica, the more the messy world of real life intrudes, the better, more believable and interesting the story.
"My favorite story [from a reader]," Kramer Bussel tells me, "involves someone who bought one of my books. She got home and discovered that a story had been ripped out. She returned the book to the store, and they told her this happens a lot. I thought it was so fascinating, that someone liked that story so much, they shoplifted it."
She looks at me without missing a beat and says, "I could turn that into a story—a bookstore employee catching that person and reprimanding them." I could see the wheels in her head spinning. And so were mine.

Romano Beans Roasted with Maitake Mushrooms, Garlic and Herbs.
Steelhead, ready to be topped with sauteed aromatic vegetables.
"I am trying to be patient with your shenanigans."
Lighting the Candle.
When the beans and mushrooms were roasting, I added some Early Girl tomatoes from Two Dog Farms on top of them. Then I tossed them both with Frisee, sort of a vegetarian variation on the normal warm french salad. I was on the fence about adding cheese, but a poached egg would have been really nice. Still, a very tasty salad.
Souvenir from our last trip to New Orleans.
Michele was taken in by Winfred Wong's glowing writeup of this wine on the BevMo shelf and the back label. "One travels the world over in search of what one needs and returns home to find it…the Sonoma Coast." As much as I appreciate the sentiment, and as much as I do like the Sonoma Coast, Gypsy Boots' Pinot Noir was really not very good. Barely above "plonk" level. At least it was not expensive.
"No, really, I am being very, very patient with your goofiness, and I would like some fish, please."

It would be difficult to own a Lamborghini without driving it fast from time to time, but speedy motoring is best left to life's most sober moments.
A 35-year-old man is now in the hospital with severe burns after crashing his Lamborghini on I-15 near San Diego on Saturday night. The car split in half and caught on fire during the collision, and police said the Lambo's driver was probably driving drunk at speeds of more than 100 mph.
Luckily, no other vehicles were involved in the crash and no one else was hurt. No word yet on what kind of Lambo the man was driving. What are your thoughts, fellow Jalopnik readers? Can you extract year and model from that twisted pile of wreckage? Aventador? Merci?

Breaking the Five-Minute 'Beer Mile' Brews Controversy
James 'The Beast' Nielsen's Record-Setting Run Has Gone Viral, but Some Question Whether He Followed the Rules; Is It OK to Skip the Can-Over-the-Head Maneuver?
SAN FRANCISCO—Last month, James "The Beast" Nielsen honored the 60th anniversary of the first sub-four-minute mile run by shattering another hallowed record long thought unbreakable: the five-minute "beer mile."
Since its origin on college campuses in the late 1980s, the beer mile has grown into an underground phenomenon. Thousands of people, including some professional athletes, have sought to be the fastest in the world at chugging a 12-ounce beer, running one lap, then repeating the uncomfortable, belch-heavy...

Adapted from the popular Prince of Persia series of video games. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Dastan, a sixth century prince who with help from a princess named Tamina (Gemma Aterton) fights to prevent a villainous noble from possessing a talisman called the Sands of Time, which can reverse time and make him ruler of the world.
Jake is one of the few major Hollywood actors who hasn't gotten embroiled in one of these big, genre, summer franchises recently, so I suppose he was due. I wonder how they're going to pull off making him look Persian? Time to get those pasty thighs in a tanning booth Jake.

crystal radio
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 8:58 am
I build the crystal radio and it doesn't work. I wrapped the coils on a glass bottle. One of the coils in the middle moved out of place when I was sanding and it wont go back in its spot. It sits loosely on top of other coils. Could this cause it not to work? I turned the bottle around and sanded a new strip. Will having 2 sanded strips cause it not to work?

text: Successive revisions to growth forecasts for the French economy – the latest was 1.8% for 2017 – are a sign of consolidation of the upturn in the economy. Unemployment, estimated at 9.5%, is falling slowly and the consumer sentiment index reflects this improvement as it has finally risen to a level above its long-term average. Inflation will remain moderate hovering around 1.1% in 2017 and 2018. Nevertheless, consumer spending is only increasing by an estimated 1.2%, which is too slow to effectively stimulate economic activity. In parallel, the European Central Bank has no intention of increasing rates before the end of 2018. Its accommodative monetary policy should continue to stimulate the French economy in 2018 with the objective of spurring on consumption and triggering a return to inflation.

So. Seattle. Do we wiki or what?
Seth Vincent thinks it'd be fun. The recent Olympia transplant started SeattleWiki and has spent the last couple months knocking on digital doors, asking for help, support, collaboration — whatever it takes to make this Seattle city wiki the that finally, actually, works.
Why? Because maybe we'd like it.
"Blogs go defunct and get deleted, tweets get lost, Facebook profiles get deactivated, local news organizations fail to archive and provide access to their content in useful ways," Vincent argued in a blog post. "In the ever-changing and unpredictable environment of the internet, a local wiki is a commitment to telling the story of a city, to documenting the history of a place and its residents as it happens."
Vincent was relaxed about the project when we discussed it over coffee this week. But clearly, he's serious. He's sent out press releases, distributed brown paper fliers, hitched on to a civic engagement campaign from Code for America, hosted three meetups for locals to create and edit pages and, in the truest spirit of collaboration, left notes on seattle.wikia.com and seattle.wikispot.org asking to merge data and work together.
Those wikis have content, but barely a pulse. So far, no one's responded.
"Does Seattle need a local wiki?" Vincent asked on Quora before he moved here this summer and started the site.
A human-computer interaction student gave the only answer: If others have tried and failed, how will you make sure this one works?
I'll admit to my own skepticism. And hope.
The wiki concept has a good — no, great — name, thanks to Wikipedia. But it's old, for one. Even though commercial wiki platforms like Wikia are forming lucrative communities around topics in entertainment and culture, more popular ways of sharing local information, with more immediate personal rewards, have come along since Facebook and Twitter.
It's true, though, that what we share on social media is frustratingly fleeting. I've often put out a question on Twitter — What are the best barbecue spots in town? — gotten great answers, and felt guilty later that I didn't find a way to make information that was so useful to me, then, useful to others, later. A wiki could take care of that.
Then there's the update problem. While browsing data.seattle.gov, Vincent stumbled on a list of public toilets. At least three, he learned, were gone. His only recourse was to email site administrators. On a wiki, he could fix outdated information himself.
Wikis can coexist with the information on our seemingly ancient, overcrowded Web. But here's the thing. To be truly useful and unique as a place built for Seattleites by Seattleites, SeattleWiki needs its own gravity. It needs to have enough good information to attract more good information, enough eyeballs to attract more eyeballs.
That's not going to be easy. But it could be pretty cool.
Right now, almost every page is what Wikipedia would call a stub — a starting point in need of fleshing out. Some are predictable. There are dozens for Seattle parks, for example. Others promise something different, like this collection of Seattle-themed animated gifs or this list of "secret public spaces" an editor created at the most recent "Edit the Wiki" meetup last Saturday.
I agree that for a local wiki to live and breathe, it needs to be not just a collection, but a "commitment." SeattleWiki could become as powerful as DavisWiki, a community site in Davis, California its creators say 1 out of every 6 residents engage with. Or it could end up another false start, nearly dead and picked over by spammers.
So, back to Vincent.
Sharing civic info is apparently his thing. He studied journalism and Web development at Olympia's Evergreen State College, then advised the student newspaper there for three years. Starting an Olympia wiki at olywiki.org got him excited enough to try it in Seattle, using the same, simple, geographically specialized LocalWiki platform. He's also made a couple simple apps using Seattle data to map both police and fire calls. 'Cause why not.
Remember those tests in elementary school that tell you what you should be when you grow up? Vincent's said he should be a magazine editor. So there you go.
The site has more than 500 pages. When the count hits 1,000, Vincent says, he'll throw a launch party.
They may not be perfect. But that's not the point. Everything can be improved on a wiki. By anyone. Anytime.
If we want.

Actavis to buy Forest Labs in $25 billion deal
Actavis PLC plans to buy Forest Laboratories Inc. for about $25 billion, catapulting little-known Actavis into the world's No. 15 drugmaker, with an unusual one-stop-shopping model giving it an edge: more face time with doctors.
U.S. physicians, increasingly crunched for time, keep reducing how many drugmaker sales reps they see. Forest gives Actavis not just a broader product line, but also its big U.S. sales force, which now can promote a half-dozen Forest and Actavis products at each doctor visit. That likely will result in more time and more options to present to primary care doctors, compared to rival brand-name drugmakers whose sales reps promote one or two drugs.
"They have just figured out a way to maximize use of time" with doctors, WBB Securities analyst Steve Brozak said Tuesday. "There's no way big Pharma can compete with this."

Actavis PLC plans to buy Forest Laboratories Inc. in an approximately $25 billion cash-and-stock combination that will create a drugmaker with a product portfolio that includes drugs like the Alzheimer's disease treatment Namenda. (AP Photo/Newsday, Jim Peppler, File)
Actavis, based in Dublin, calls itself a specialty pharmaceutical company, but it sells several hundred generic, brand-name and nonprescription medicines generally prescribed by family doctors, from birth control pills to infection drugs. Its specialty drugs include osteoporosis treatment Actonel, other drugs for women's health, and dermatology and urology medicines. And it's partnering with biotech giant Amgen Inc. to develop five biosimilars — like generic versions of ultra-expensive biologic drugs made in living cells.
Still, Actavis needed a bigger U.S. presence and more brand-name drugs to keep growing. New York-based Forest brings all that, including branded drugs Namenda for Alzheimer's disease, Saphris for schizophrenia, Linzess for chronic constipation and antidepressant Viibryd.
Actavis said it will pay $26.04 in cash and a third of an Actavis share for each Forest share. The total, per-share price of $89.48 is about 25 percent more than Forest's $71.39 closing price Friday.
Paul Bisaro, chairman and CEO of Actavis, said the combination will now have six drugs awaiting approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and 10 others in late-stage patient testing, including three biologic drugs.
"It pushes us up the food chain a little bit," Bisaro said of the deal. "We don't have an objective of size. What we have is an objective of growth for our shareholders."
The cash-and-stock deal, expected to close by mid-year, will give Actavis about $15 billion in combined revenue, compared with $4.66 billion in the first nine months of 2013. The company reports 2013 results Thursday.
On Tuesday, U.S.-traded shares of Actavis rose 5 percent to $201.47. Forest shares were up nearly 28 percent at $91.04. Both are near 52-week highs.
The move caps an impressive run for Actavis. Back in 2006, it was a little Icelandic company with barely $700 million in annual revenue and big trouble with U.S. regulators. Two Actavis factories in Totowa, N.J., and one in Little Falls, N.J., repeatedly failed FDA inspections from that year through 2008, when the company recalled a heart drug because tablets were much too thick. Actavis, also accused of selling older, never-approved drugs, shut down the three New Jersey plants the following year.
Today's Actavis bears little resemblance. After Actavis made a bunch of smaller acquisitions, late in 2012 Bisaro engineered its $5.6 billion merger with his company at the time, generic drugmaker Watson Pharmaceuticals. The combined company kept the Actavis name — better known outside the U.S. —then bought Ireland-based Warner Chilcott last May for $8.5 billion and incorporated there, likely to reduce its tax bill. Its U.S. administrative headquarters are in Parsippany, N.J.
The deal helps Forest, squeezed by generic competition to major drugs such as anxiety and depression drug Lexapro. Despite launching several new drugs, including Viibryd, Forest took an annual loss in fiscal 2012. And it's reportedly faced pressure from billionaire investor Carl Icahn, its second-largest shareholder.
Forest CEO Brent Saunders, who took over last fall, a few weeks ago completed a $2.9 billion purchase of Aptalis, which makes gastrointestinal and cystic fibrosis treatments. And Saunders launched plans to cut about 500 jobs and trim $500 million in costs.
Actavis said it expects within three years to see $1 billion in "operating and tax synergies" from the Forest deal.
Bisaro will remain chairman and CEO of Actavis, while Saunders and some other Forest board members will join the Actavis board.
AP Business Writer Tom Murphy reported from Indianapolis, while Linda A. Johnson reported from Trenton, N.J.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Freshman Ally Barys (Ladera Ranch, Calif.) netted the first three goals of her career, leading the Georgia College soccer squad (6-6-1) to a 6-1 domination of No. 14 University of North Alabama (8-2-1) Monday night at Bobcat Field.
The Bobcats exploded for six goals against the nationally-ranked Lions, the most for GC soccer since a 6-0 win over USC Aiken Oct. 29, 2011. The Bobcats are now 3-2 against ranked opponents this season.
GC got the scoring started less than three minutes into the first half, when sophomore Ashley Veilleux (Monroe, Ga.) cleaned up a loose ball from point-blank range. The goal was Veilleux's team-leading seventh and the score remained 1-0 into the break.
North Alabama's Chloe Richards got an equalizer on the team's initial possession of the second half. The goal came 27 seconds into the half.
Following the tying goal, GC had a flurry of five goals, with Barys netting three. Barys got the go-ahead goal a little over five minutes in, cracking home a loose ball inside the box. For the second goal, Haley O'Hayer (Savannah, Ga.) dropped a pass off to Olivia Holden (Fishers, Ind.) in the corner, who then knocked a beautiful cross to Barys, heading it in for the 3-1 lead.
Sophomore Abby Dalton (Macon, Ga.) squeezed in the next goal, as Holden found her on a breakaway play. Dalton now has three goals on the season.
Barys made it 5-1 on a free kick, curling a shot into the upper left corner from about 25 yards out.
O'Hayer capped the scoring off an assist from Brittaney Borror (Evans, Ga.) in the 72nd minute. The five-goal burst took place in little over 20 minutes.
Sophomore Taylor Cornelius (Dacula, Ga.) made numerous athletic stops among her seven saves in the win. The loss went to Morgan Grace in a five-save effort. The Bobcats were out-shot 25-15.
Barys is the first Bobcat to score her first career goal and record a hat-trick in the same game. She posts just the fourth hat-trick in school history, joining Lyric Burnett (2006-09) in 2006, Hayley Ferrell (2005-08) in 2007 and Veilleux earlier this season.
The goal gives Veilleux 12 in her two-year career, good for fifth place in GC history, a tie with Meredith Moran (2004-05).
The Bobcats are back in action Saturday, Oct. 13 at 3:30 p.m., traveling to No. 7 Armstrong.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Cyclist killed in hit and run crash
A Houston-area cyclist was killed in an apparent hit-and-run accident that sent him into Brays Bayou, Houston police said Tuesday.
The unidentified man was found around 7:45 p.m. Monday, though police said the accident in the 8200 block of Harrisburg likely happened around midnight Sunday. In a release, officials said the man appeared to have been struck by a vehicle that propelled him into the bayou. Harrisburg crosses Brays Bayou near 81st Street, then turns into Broadway.
The spot is close to the Brays Bayou lower bank bike trail, which is separated from cars and allows cyclists an unimpeded ride.
Two other Houston bicyclists have been killed in hit-and-run accidents in the past 45 days. Chelsea Norman, 24, was struck and killed Dec. 1 riding home from work along Waugh Drive. Stephen Belle was killed Dec. 20 crossing the 1000 block of Normandy outside a crosswalk.
No one has been identified as the driver in any of the accidents, frustrating some area cyclists, with some suggesting that city has to do more to protect riders.
"It has been proven time and time again, in city after city ... that the way to make it safe for cycling is by incorporating safe cycling into street and road design," said Michael Skelly, a local cyclist and Houston Bike Share board member.
Skelly noted that Portland, Ore., is probably the most cycling-friendly city in the U.S., with hundreds of thousands of frequent riders, and yet didn't have a single bike fatality in 2013. According to Bike Portland, a pro-cycling group in Oregon, the city also didn't have a fatality in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2006, 2008 or 2010.
Houston has far fewer cyclists and many more fatalities, Skelly said.
The Houston City Council last year passed a law requiring drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of space. As of last month, police had not written a single ticket for violating the law.

UBS in settlement with US over mortgages
GENEVA (AP) -- The U.S. government has reached "an agreement in principle" to settle its lawsuit against Swiss banking giant UBS AG that seeks to recoup more than $900 million in losses from mortgage-backed securities, the bank announced Monday.
In 2011, the U.S. government sued UBS and 17 other financial firms for selling some $196 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities to housing financing agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. However the securities turned toxic when the housing market collapsed.
Among the major U.S. banks targeted by the lawsuits were Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., but the action extended to other large European banks including The Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays Bank and Credit Suisse.
Fannie and Freddie, which are overseen by the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, buy mortgage loans and securities issued by banks so that the lenders use the money to reinvest in the property market. The two agencies invested heavily in residential mortgage-backed securities, which bundled pools of mortgages into complex investments that collapsed after the real-estate bust and helped fuel the financial crisis in late 2008.
UBS released no more details or costs of the settlement, which it said still required "final approvals by the parties."
The Swiss banking giant also announced Monday that its net profit jumped 62 percent in the second quarter of the year to 690 million francs ($734 million), up from 425 million francs in the same period a year earlier. UBS said it was making progress with its strategic overhaul.
But the second-quarter improvement is still way down the 1.02 billion Swiss francs that the Zurich-based bank reported in the comparable period in 2011. The basic results were released unexpectedly, a week ahead of a planned second-quarter report.

How to Avoid Debt Collection Scams
Being hounded and harassed by shady debt collectors is the ultimate nightmare. Here's how to make sure you don't fall for phony bill collection scams.
Michelle Minton had never felt so scared or humiliated in her life. The 42-year-old was at home with her two toddlers in Springville, New York, one morning when the phone rang. The caller, who said he was from a collection agency, immediately demanded that she pay the $2,100 she owed in credit card debt. Michelle racked her brain: Had she missed a payment? Was it something she charged before she got married? Nothing came to mind. "I think you must have the wrong person," she said calmly. That's when things turned nasty. "Listen, there's already a judgment against you," the man warned. "If you don't give me the money right now, the police are ready to arrest you and throw you in jail. And if your husband can't get home in time, social services will take your children." Horrified at the thought, Michelle panicked and gave the caller her checking account number. "When I hung up the phone, I was shaking and crying, and so were my kids," she says. "I felt like I had just been robbed."
In fact, she had been. The outstanding balance belonged to someone else with the same name, and the caller was just one of a growing number of collectors who berate, badger, and bully consumers into paying debts that aren't theirs in the first place. By the time Michelle pulled herself together and called the bank to freeze her account, the money was already gone.
Each year thousands of people are similarly victimized by fraudulent collectors, so intimidated by abusive tactics that they often pay up simply to end the harassment of themselves, their employers, family, and friends. "Operators like these have mastered the art of making people really, really afraid," says Bud Hibbs, a consumer advocate in Fort Worth, Texas, who runs the Web site ConsumerJustice.com. More people complain to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about debt collectors than about any other industry, and with the economic downturn those numbers are rising: The FTC received some 45,000 complaints in the first six months of 2009, a 20 percent jump compared with the same period the year before.
Even if you are behind on your bills, you don't have to put up with foul play. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, as well state laws, provides strict guidelines that bill collectors must follow. They also impose penalties for any violations. "It's important to remember you have rights," says Jean Chatzky, personal finance expert and author of the newly revised Pay It Down! From Debt to Wealth on $10 a Day (Portfolio Trade). Michelle filed papers with the state attorney general's office, and after several months it recently brought charges against a dozen collection agencies in northern New York, including the one that contacted her. "I'm so glad they're going to see their day in court," she says. Your best move? Learn how to recognize—and fight back—when sleazy collectors cross the line so you won't get scammed in the first place.
Dirty Trick #1: The Wrong Mrs. Smith
Collectors routinely phone anyone in the country with the same name as the one on the debt without checking to make sure it's the person who owes the money. So as soon as you get that cold call, ask for the collector's name and address—and then hang up. By law you have 30 days to write to the agency and ask for verification that the debt is yours. Send your letter registered mail or, if you're faxing, go to a store that will give you a dated, time-stamped receipt, such as Office Depot or Staples. The collector must send you the name and address of the company to which the money is owed, as well as notify you of your right to dispute the claim in part or in full. If the debt isn't yours, the agency must cease collection efforts altogether.
Dirty Trick #2: Calling Anytime — and Everyone
The phone rings incessantly at all hours, at home and at work, even though you've asked the collector not to contact you there. He's also harassing family members, friends, and even your boss and telling them you're a deadbeat. The law is clear: Collectors are allowed to call only between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., and they must honor a written request to stop calling. They may not contact you again except to inform you that the creditor intends to take some action, such as filing a lawsuit. As for calling your parents or your employer, collectors may contact a third party to get your address and phone number, but are prohibited from discussing your debt. Write to the agency stating that you will file a complaint with your state attorney general if it doesn't stop immediately. For more information, call the National Consumer Law Center at 617-542-8010 to ask for the free brochure "What You Should Know About Debt Collection," or visit consumerlaw.org and click on the For Consumers link.
Dirty Trick #3: Smearing Your Credit Rating
Bullying collectors love to intimidate consumers by telling them their debts will tarnish their credit report and ruin their rating for years, and may also threaten to spread the bad word to your mortgage bank or other lenders. Sometimes they even pose as credit bureau employees to make themselves sound more official. Or they make nice and promise to clean up your report if you pay up pronto. Legitimate debts that go to collections do become part of your credit history, but you don't have to take the rap for ones you're not responsible for. Once you file a dispute with the agency, it must report that to the credit bureaus. If you receive verification that the debt isn't yours, you need to notify all three national credit bureaus in writing and ask them to correct your records. For help on disputing credit report errors, go to ftc.gov.
If you do owe money, never make a payment on an old debt until you verify that the statute of limitations—typically seven years—hasn't expired. "In many states a new payment will restart the time period," says Hibbs. "That means you'll be responsible for the whole debt, no matter how ancient." But if the debt is valid, try negotiating. Chatzky advises offering to pay 50 percent if it's a recent debt, and 25 percent if it's several years old. "Some collectors have paid a pittance for your debt, so they're not interested in spending a lot of time getting the money," says Chatzky. "As a result, they'll often settle for far less than you owe." Finally, go to AnnualCreditReport.com once a year to view your record (it's free) and update it as needed so that it reflects any debts you've settled.
Dirty Trick #4: "We'll Garnish Your Wages"
This may be a bill collector's favorite line. They want you to think they can wangle the money from you, so you might as well just pay on the spot. But wages can be garnished only when an original creditor takes you to court and wins a judgment against you. That's why you should never give out your bank account number or other financial information that would allow scam artists to rip you off.
Dirty Trick #5: "You're Going to Jail"
This is the ultimate threat, but it's a big fat lie. Owing money is not a crime, and there is no debtors' prison in the U.S. So the next time you hear this line, respond with a hardball tactic of your own: Tell the collector you know that this type of behavior is illegal, and that you will promptly contact the FTC and your state attorney general's office to file a complaint. Then be sure to do so. The more you fight back, the more protection you'll have.
Legitimate Vs. Illegitimate Bill Collectors
Bill collectors basically come in two flavors. The first type are legitimate third-party agencies that work directly for banks, credit card companies, retailers, and other businesses. They go after severely overdue bills by sending formal letters and keep up to 25 percent of whatever they collect. "These guys are on the straight and narrow," says consumer advocate Bud Hibbs. "Otherwise, companies like Sears and Macy's wouldn't hire them."
Then there are agencies that buy bundles of old, often poorly documented debts for as little as pennies on the dollar, which means they can reap profits even if they recoup only a tiny fraction of the debt. This year more than $100 billion of such so-called "zombie" debt is expected to be sold to collection agencies, up from virtually nothing a decade ago. "Creditors and consolidators are willing to sell on the cheap because they assume they'll never get paid and have already written off the losses," explains Hibbs. These are the collectors you should worry about. They're just after the money, and they'll stoop to intimidation and threats to get it.
