LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A civilian employee fatally shot in a Fort Knox parking lot had worked at the Kentucky military post for nearly a decade, the Army said Friday.
Lloyd R. Gibert, 51, was shot on Wednesday outside the Army Human Resources Command building. He had worked in the human resources division at Fort Knox since 2004, according to a statement from the Army.
Police arrested a 36-year-old Fort Knox soldier, Marquinta E. Jacobs, on Thursday in Portland, Tenn., where Jacobs' mother lives.
Investigators found eight shell casings at the scene, and a witness said Gibert had a "verbal exchange" with Jacobs before he was shot multiple times, authorities said.
The slaying prompted a brief lockdown at the post, and security was heightened after the gates were reopened.
The FBI said in a criminal complaint against Jacobs that he fled the scene after the shooting, went home and then drove his motorcycle to Tennessee. The bike was later found at his mother's house, and he was apprehended a short time later in a different vehicle.
Jacobs made his initial appearance in federal court Friday, where a magistrate judge transferred Jacobs to military custody. He will face premeditated murder and aggravated assault charges, authorities said.
The FBI said Jacobs, an Army sergeant, fired a .45-caliber handgun at Gibert, "striking him several times." Gibert was transported to Fort Knox's hospital, where he died that evening.
Army investigators said the shooting arose from a "domestic incident."
Investigators found ammunition at the home for a .45-caliber Glock pistol that matched the kind used at the crime scene.
Jacobs enlisted in the Army in 2004 and has been at Fort Knox since 2009. He worked as an equipment maintenance specialist in the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, according to Fort Knox.
Army investigators will perform an Article 32 investigation, similar to a civilian grand jury, to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed with a court-martial against Jacobs, Fort Knox said in a statement Friday.

Radon is a major problem for North Carolina commercial buildings and as a business owner, you have many important responsibilities to your customers and to the people who work for you. No matter what types of commercial buildings your business uses, part of that responsibility is testing those work spaces for dangerous levels of radon.
Find and Fix Your Radon Contamination Issue Immediately
If the commercial buildings your business occupies are found to have high levels of radon, you need to take immediate steps to rectify the situation and get rid of that radon contamination. You also need to find the source of the radon contamination in your commercial buildings and stop any additional radon from coming in.
Radon is a serious problem for business owners and owners of commercial buildings, and not one to be taken lightly, especially in Winston Salem, North Carolina. No matter where your commercial buildings are located, chances are those buildings are subject to a number of environmental regulations. Some of the regulations governing commercial buildings and radon levels are set at the Federal level, while others are set at the state and local level. If you fail to have proper radon testing done at the commercial buildings you own, you could be subject to severe sanctions, including fines and even the loss of your North Carolina operating license.
Testing your Winston-Salem, North Carolina commercial buildings for radon is important, whether you own those commercial buildings or not. If you rent the commercial buildings where your company does business, you need to ask the owner of the property about any radon tests that have already been conducted. If those commercial buildings have already been tested for radon and found to be negative, you should file those test results with the rest of your business paperwork in case any questions arise later on.
If you own a North Carolina commercial buildings where your company does business, you should keep a copy of any past radon tests on file in a secure place. The Federal, state and local laws in your area might dictate that you have all your commercial buildings tested every couple of years, so keeping the documentation from your last radon test will help you determine when you should have your next one done.
Test for High Levels of Radon
If you have not yet tested your Winston Salem, North Carolina commercial buildings for radon contamination, you should do so as soon as possible. Start by contacting a radon testing and remediation company that has plenty of experience working with business owners and commercial buildings. The radon testing needs of homes and commercial buildings are quite different, and they require a different approach to radon testing and remediation.
Once you have selected a radon testing company with experience testing commercial buildings, the next step is to schedule an appointment to have your business tested. If the results for your commercial buildings show that no radon contamination exists, you can rest easy knowing that your workers and your customers are protected. If the results of testing the commercial buildings shows that radon is a problem in your business, you can begin the process of getting rid of that existing radon and making sure that no additional radon gas can get into your business and threaten your employees and your customers.

I am trying to get upstart start a user job during the boot of my machine.
I have my conky.conf upstart config file in my $HOME/.init directory. Wenn I run "start conky" I get this error:
dre@dre-laptop:~$ start conky

destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
I (think I) know that this error has to do with the d-bus system (authentification). I also read (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#id96) that ubuntu 12.10 already has the right configuration in the d-bus config file "/etc/dbus-1/system.d/Upstart.conf" to allow normal users to use upstart.
dre@dre-laptop:~/.init$ cat conky.conf

stop on shutdown
# Automatically restart process if crashed
# Essentially lets upstart know the process will detach itself to the background

So, who knows, what do I do wrong???

Nintendo claims Wii U and next-gen won't have 'drastic' disparity
Although Wii caught attention with an innovative control mechanic, it could not compete graphically with the PS3 or Xbox 360. Many of the generation's top titles never found a Wii release, and Wii U's limited specs risk of creating a similar gulf between it and Sony and Microsoft's next-generation consoles. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata doesn't feel that will be a problem, since the next generation will offer a smaller graphical leap than the prior one.
"We cannot promise that the Wii U will never be excluded from multiplatform software for eternity, but we can at least assure you that the Wii U will not have such a big difference as the Wii had in comparison to how, on other platforms, developers could expect very different graphic capabilities of generating HD-applicable high-resolution graphics," Iwata said.
"Other companies might launch a next-generation console with more power, but we don't necessarily think that the difference between the Wii U and such console will be as drastic as what you felt it was between the Wii and the other consoles because there will be fewer and fewer differentiators in graphics," Iwata said in a shareholders Q&A.
He says that the company will "make the most of the performance of the Wii U to keep up with technological innovations and not to make the system out-of-date soon." But, he notes that the Wii U centers around a console and the special tablet controller, which prevents them from making the two devices too expensive. "If we were including both a video game console and a handheld device, if we were not careful about how luxurious both of them were, we could end up having to offer the price of the two hardware systems combined, which would not be an acceptable price for the consumers," he said. "We had to design it by balancing the performance and the costs."

Hagel: Israel did not share Syria intel
CAIRO (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel indicated on Wednesday that he was caught by surprise when Israeli officials publicly revealed their assessment that Syria has used chemical weapons in its civil war.
Hagel told reporters that his Israeli counterpart, Moshe Yaalon, did not alert him to the assessment when they met in Tel Aviv on Monday. The assessment was announced publicly on Tuesday by a senior official with Israel's military intelligence office.
"They did not give me that assessment; I guess it was not complete," Hagel said after several hours of meetings with senior Egyptian officials on the fourth stop of a week-long Mideast tour. "So I have not seen the specifics of it" or discussed it with Israeli officials.
He said he and Yaalon discussed the issue of Syria's chemical weapons, but Hagel would not elaborate further.
The Obama administration has said Syrian government use of chemical weapons would be a "game changer," implying that it might, if confirmed, compel the U.S. to get more directly involved in the civil conflict.
Hagel said that Washington is looking for "real intelligence" on the issue of Syrian chemical weapon use.
"Suspicions are one thing. Evidence is another," he said. "I think we have to be very careful here before we make any conclusions, draw any conclusions, based on real intelligence." He said his comments should not be interpreting as questioning the validity of other counties' intelligence on Syria. The important point, he said, is that "the United States relies on its own intelligence — and must."
After his meetings in Cairo, which included talks with President Mohammed Morsi and the Egyptian defense minister, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, Hagel flew to Abu Dhabi on the Persian Gulf.
Hagel said his Cairo stop was important for reinforcing U.S. support for the Egyptian government's transition to democracy and its efforts at economic reform.
By including Cairo on his first Mideast tour as defense secretary, Hagel was highlighting the Obama administration's hope of preserving influence with the Egyptian military as the country struggles with its transition to democracy.
Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel. The U.S. is deeply concerned, however, that continued instability in Egypt will have broader consequences in a region already rocked by unrest, including in the increasingly lawless Sinai Peninsula.

How Much to Tax the Rich? It's in the Cards

When subscribing to the newsletter, we also store the IP address (assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP)) of the computer system used by the Data Subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is required so as to be able to prove – at a later date – the (possible) abuse of the email address of a Data Subject, and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the Data Controller.
Personal Data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send you our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration in this respect, as could be the case of changes to the newsletter offering or a change in the technical conditions. The Personal Data collected within the framework of the newsletter service will not be transferred to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter may be cancelled at any time by the Data Subject. Consent to the storage of Personal Data sent by the Data Subject for the purpose of the dispatch of newsletters may be revoked at any time. Every newsletter contains a link enabling the revocation of consent.
8. Newsletter tracking
CITO‑SYSTEM GmbH's newsletters contain so-called "web bugs". A web bug is a thumbnail graphic embedded into such emails sent in HTML format, so as to enable log-file recording and log-file analysis. This allows for the statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. On the basis of the embedded web bugs, CITO‑SYSTEM GmbH can detect whether and when an email is opened by a Data Subject, and which links located in the email are accessed by the Data Subject.
Personal Data of this type, collected via the web bugs contained in the newsletters, will be stored by the Data Controller and evaluated in order to optimise the dispatch of newsletters and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the Data Subject. This Personal Data will not be disclosed to Third Parties. Persons Concerned are entitled – at any time – to revoke the separate declaration of consent submitted in this respect via the double opt-in procedure. Suspending the receipt of the newsletter is automatically deemed by CITO‑SYSTEM GmbH to be a revocation.
9. Contact via the website
As a result of statutory provisions, CITO‑SYSTEM GmbH's website contains information which enables rapid electronic contact with our company, as well as a direct communication with us, which likewise includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). Insofar as a Data Subject contacts the Data Controller via email or via a contact form, the Personal Data communicated by the Personal Concerned will be automatically stored. Personal Data communicated by the Data Subject to the Data Controller in this manner will be stored for the purposes of processing or for contacting the Data Subject. This Personal Data will not be transferred to Third Parties.
10. Routine deletion and blocking of Personal Data
The Data Controller shall process and store the Personal Data of the Data Subject only for the period of time that is required to achieve aim of the storage, or if envisaged by the European body issuing directives and regulations, or by another legislator of laws or regulations, to which the Data Controller is subject.
11. Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to confirmation
Each Data Subject has the right – granted by the European body issuing directive and regulations – to demand from the Data Controller confirmation of whether Personal Data is being processed.
b) Right to information
Each Data Subject whose Personal Data is processed has the right – granted by the European body issuing directive and regulations – to receive information from the Controller (at any time and free of charge) about the Personal Data stored regarding his/her person and a copy of this information.
c) Right to correction
Each Data Subject whose Personal Data is processed has the right – granted by the European body issuing directive and regulations – to demand the correction of incorrect Personal Data relating to him/her.
d) Right to deletion
Each Data Subject whose Personal Data is processed has the right – granted by the European body issuing directive and regulations – to demand that the Controller delete the relevant Personal Data, insofar as one of the following reasons is applicable and to the extent that Processing is not required:
- The Personal Data was collected (or otherwise processed) for purposes which are no longer required.
- The Data Subject revokes his/her consent to Processing according to Article 6(1a) GDPR or Article 9(2a) GDPR, and there is a lack of any legal grounds for the Processing.
- The Data Subject, in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR, objects to the Processing, and there are no prevailing legitimate reasons for the Processing, or the Data Subject, in accordance with Article 21(2) GDPR, objects to the Processing.
- The Personal Data has been processed unlawfully.
- The Personal Data is to be deleted in order to fulfil a legal obligation, in accordance with EU law or the law of the Member States to which the Controller is subject.
e) Right to the Restriction of Processing
Each Data Subject whose Personal Data is processed has the right – granted by the European body issuing directive and regulations – to demand a Restriction of Processing by the Controller, if any of the following conditions exist:
- The accuracy of the Personal Data is disputed by the Data Subject; this dispute must be for a period of time which allows the Controller to verify the accuracy of the Personal Data.
- The Processing is unlawful, the Person Concerns rejects the deletion of Personal Data and requires instead the restriction of the use of the Personal Data.
- The Controller no longer requires the Personal Data for Processing purposes, whilst the Data Subject, however, requires it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
- The Data Subject has objected to the Processing in accordance with Article 21(1) of GDPR and it is still not clear whether the legitimate reasons of the Controller prevail over those of the Data Subject.
f) Right to data portability
Each Data Subject whose Personal Data is processed has the right – granted by the European body issuing directive and regulations – to receive the Personal Data concerning him/her, as provided by the Data Subject to a Controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, that Data Subject has the right to communicate this data to any other controller without interference from the Controller to whom the Personal Data were provided, insofar as the Processing is performed based on Consent pursuant to Article 6(1a) GDPR or Article 9(2a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6(1b) GDPR, and the Processing is carried out using automated procedures, unless the Processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority, where such authority has been transferred to the Controller.
g) Right to revocation of Consent under data protection legislation
Each Data Subject whose Personal Data is processed has the right – granted by the European body issuing directive and regulations – to revoke Consent to the Processing of Personal Data relating to him/her at any time.
12. Data protection rules regarding the deployment and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The Data Controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the gathering, collection and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Web analysis is primarily used to optimise a website and undertake a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operator of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The Data Controller uses the suffix "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics using Google Analytics. By using this suffix, the IP address of the internet connection of the Data Subject is abbreviated and anonymised by Google, when access to our websites is from a Member State of the European Union or of another state which is party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of the flows of visitors to our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, so as to compile online reports for us, covering activities on our website, and to provide other services connected to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the IT system of the Data Subject. What "cookies" are is explained above. By placing the cookies, Google can analyse the use of our website. Upon accessing each individual page of this website, which is operated by the Data Controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser of the IT system of the Data Subject is automatically triggered (by the respective Google Analytics component) into transferring data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the context of this technical process, Google becomes cognisant of Personal Data, such as the IP address of the Data Subject. Such data allows Google, among other things, to trace the origin of the visitors and of the clicks, and to effect commission settlement as a result.
Using cookies, personal information is stored, for example, the time of access, the location of access and the frequency of visits to our website by the Data Subject. Each time you visit our website, this Personal Data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the Data Subject, is shared with Google in the United States of America. This Personal Data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer the Personal Data gathered to Third Parties using technical processes.
The Data Subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time (as explained above) by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser being used, and thus permanently reject the placement of cookies. Activating such settings of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the IT system of the Data Subject. In addition, a cookie which has already been placed by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this site: Disable Google Analytics.
More information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be retrieved at policies.google.com and www.google.com abgerufen werden. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link www.google.com.
13. Our presence on social media
Data processing by social networks
Social networks such as LinkedIn can usually analyse your user behaviour extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or ad banners). Visiting our social media sites triggers numerous processes that are relevant for data protection, in detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media site, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or if you do not have an account with the relevant social media portal. This data collection then takes place via cookies, for example, which are saved on your terminal device or by collecting your IP address.
The operator of the social media portal can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are saved with the help of the data collected in this way. You can thus be shown interest-related ads both within and outside the social media site. We kindly ask you to note that we are not able to track all processing activities on the social media portals.
Legal grounds
Our social media sites should guarantee the widest possible presence on the web. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which have to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR).
Controller and exercise of rights
When you visit one of our social media sites, we are responsible for the data processing activities triggered by this visit together with the operator of the social media platform. You can exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis ourselves or the operator of the respective social media portal.
Please note that despite our joint responsibility together with the operators of the social media portals, we do not have full control over the data processing activities of the social media portals.
Storage period
The data that we collect directly via the social media sites is deleted by our systems as soon as its storage is no longer necessary, you ask us to delete this, you revoke your consent to its storage or its storage is no longer necessary. Saved cookies remain on your terminal device until deleted by you. Compelling statutory regulations – in particular storage periods – remain unaffected. We have no influence over the storage period for your data that is saved by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes.
Social networks in detail
We have a profile with Google+. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield:
You can configure you own ad settings in your user account. To do so, click the following link and log in:

Details on how they handle your personal data can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Policy:
14. Legal grounds for the Processing
Article 6(1a) GDPR serves as legal grounds for our company for Processing operations, whereby we obtain consent for a specific Processing purpose. If the Processing of Personal Data is required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, for example, in the case of processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or performance, then the Processing is based on Article 6(1b) GDPR. The same applies for such Processing operations which are required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of requests for our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which any processing of Personal Data is required, for example in order to fulfil tax obligations, then the Processing is based on Article 6(1c) GDPR. Finally, Processing may be based on Article 6(1f) GDPR. Processing operations have their legal grounds in the latter where none of the aforementioned legal grounds apply, if Processing is required in order to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a Third Party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject do not prevail. Such Processing operations are permitted in particular when the European legislators have mentioned them especially. The legislator has taken the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed, if the Data Subject is a customer of the Controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 of the GDPR).
15. Legitimate interests in respect of Processing pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
Where the Processing of Personal Data is based on Article 6(1f) GDPR, then our legitimate interest is in the implementation of our business activities in favour of the welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.
16. Duration for which Personal Data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of Personal Data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the relevant data is routinely deleted if no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or for contract negotiations.
17. Statutory or contractual provisions regarding the provision of Personal Data; necessity for conclusion of contract; requirement of the Data Subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We hereby clarify that the provision of Personal Data is in part required by law (for example, tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual arrangements (e.g. information regarding the contract partner). Sometimes it may be necessary – for the purposes of contract conclusion – that a Data Subject provides us with Personal Data which must then be processed by us. The Data Subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with Personal Data, if our business enters into a contract with him/her. The non-provision of Personal Data would result in the contract not being concluded with the Data Subject.

A Family's Guide to Tackling Eating Disorders
People with eating disorders are not the only ones who suffer. The struggle becomes a family affair. While there are things families should try to avoid doing or saying, there are just as many things that they can do to help not only their loved one, but also themselves.
The Long Road to Recovery
Learning that someone you love is suffering from an eating disorder is never easy. The initial diagnosis may come as a shock. But, for some people and their loved ones, what comes after the diagnosis can be even harder. Successful treatment of eating disorders is a long process which can take many years, and can involve irregular progress and setbacks.
It is important that affected persons and their families do not give up hope. People who have eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia can recover with treatment and patience.
Understandably, though, there will be times when your patience is tested, like when your loved one returns to destructive behaviors. But, there are steps you can take.
Ways to Educate Yourself
Perhaps the first step in helping your loved one recover is educating yourself about eating disorders. People often assume that eating disorders are about food and weight, but that is not true. There are many underlying issues.
To deal with those issues, your loved one will need to work with a therapist. Cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, has shown to be useful for treating people with eating disorders. Involving the whole family in therapy is another effective strategy to help with the recovery process.
In addition, you can attend educational meetings to find out more about eating disorders, including the possible causes, related health problems, and treatments. If your loved one is getting special care at a treatment center, the staff may offer classes for family members. Joining a support group may also be helpful.
Recovery Strategies
The best thing that you can do is provide support. Here are some actions you can take to make things easier for you and your loved one:
- Ask how you can be supportive. Talking about how you can help is the healthiest way of dealing with things.
- Do not let your relationship focus solely on the person with the eating disorder. You are an important person, too. When you are talking about your loved one's day, for instance, share information about your day too.
- Try to keep the attention off of food. Whether you are at a family reunion or the dinner table, take the focus off of food by talking about the day's events. You could also go for a walk or play board games.
- Legalize all foods. Do not cater to the belief that foods are good or bad. Offer to serve something your loved one will eat if you are hosting the event.
- Try to keep the family's regular eating patterns. Your loved one's eating disorder should not control how other members of the family eat and live. If they feel that specific family changes would support their recovery, bring this topic up during a family therapy session.
- Be a good role model. Think about your own eating habits and attitude towards weight loss. If you admire people who are extremely slender, exercise excessively, or are constantly dieting, your loved one may get confused about what is a healthy lifestyle.
- Have a strategy for responding to comments. If you are also working with a therapist, you can work on developing effective strategies for responding to your loved one. For example, if the person says, "I feel fat," you may want to respond by asking about what kinds of fears surround the idea of being fat, such as fear of being rejected by peers.
- Do not ignore destructive behaviors. When you see your loved one engaging in behaviors like binging, purging, or not eating at all, show that you care. Ask if anything is going on or offer to talk. Even if you are feeling angry and frustrated, remember that your loved one needs you to be kind and respectful.
- Approach your loved one's therapist with your concerns. While a therapist cannot reveal confidential information, you can still offer up your concerns.
- Remember that there is no right or wrong reaction. Don't worry about how your loved one will interpret your response to the situation. Be yourself and follow your instincts.
With care from doctors and therapists and support from friends and family, it is possible for your loved one to recover from an eating disorder.

Harvard was led by its foil squad, which posted a combined 17-1 record, including an 8-1 mark against Columbia to help the team take the match despite the Lions' edge in the other two disciplines. The Crimson's Brian Kaneshige and Michael Woo share the lead in the individual foil standings at 6-0 each, while Jerry Chang posted a 5-1 mark Saturday.
In the epee event, Harvard went 6-3 against the Bulldogs and won four bouts against the Lions. Michael Raynis notched a 4-2 individual record to tie for fifth in the epee standings.

The normally family-friendly Cullen family is buff and ready for action in "Eclipse," the latest movie in the Twilight saga.
Peter Facinelli tells PopcornBiz he pumped up big-time during the Vancouver shoot to be ready for his action parts. And it shows in his character, Dr. Carlisle Cullen.
"Every other day we did workouts and stunt choreography," says Facinelli. "It became more of an inhouse competition between all the actors. When you weren't doing fight choreography you headed to the gym. I remember doing three workouts in one day."
U.S. & World
Facinelli conceded defeat to co-star Kellan Lutz when Facinelli's elevator stopped at his hotel floor and Lutz was doing push-ups waiting for the elevator.
"I was like, okay, you win," says Facinelli.
The need for the workouts? In the new film, the Cullens go to battle to protect their Bella (Kristen Stewart) from an army of vampires led by baddie Victoria. Facinelli admits he was looking pretty buff. But don't expect him to be pulling a Taylor Lautner and whipping the shirt off in the film.
"Carlisle is not the shirtless kind of guy," he says. "It gets depressing because you do these workouts and your body is starting to look good. You kind of want your shirt to be off."
There are downsides to playing a 350-year-old vampire.

Book Summary
Every Parent Needs Some Mental Toughness
Seven Secrets of Camii Mia Women's Mid Rise Regular Fit Destroyed Ripped Flared Jean: Navigating the Stress of Parenthood is a game-changer for every parent who has ever been stressed out with work, laundry, cooking, cleaning, making the kids' lunches, dishes in the sink, more laundry, shuttling kids around town from sports to music lessons, school, youth group, and back again, more laundry, the bathrooms need cleaning and the floors vacuumed and mopped, the dusting hasn't been done in weeks, and now more laundry, more shuttling. I'm stressed out just writing the list.
All parents want their children to have a better life than they have. But just being willing to do anything for your child isn't enough, otherwise, every child would grow up and enjoy a happy, successful, and fulfilled life. A balanced life. A life filled with harmonious relationships. A life filled with thriving abundance.
It is not enough to love your children. Not enough to want the best for them. There's one and only one thing that is enough. This one thing is resilience. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. I call it mental toughness and define it as the ability to take control of your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and actions proactively, especially under pressure. Resilience is the skill to handle anything life throws your way.
Seven Secrets of Resilience for Parents is a field guide to imitating, learning, and modeling resilience and mental toughness. It not only gives the biopsychology (how the body, mind, and emotions interact) of mental toughness and the cognitive neuroscience (how the brain works) but also real-life examples and illustrations that can be imitated, along with adopting science-based principles.
"Wittman's book is both challenging and consoling as it handles the complicated, hard-truth aspects of parenting. His work guides us with straight-forward knowledge and high-impact strategies creating parents who are present, forgiving and disciplined- and who now fully understand that as the leaders of our family we must first be those things to ourselves. Well worth the read!" says Sandra Beck, Host of Military Mom Talk Radio.
When people have kids, someone inevitably tells them something like: "They don't come with instruction manuals" or "There's no degree or class in parenthood." Seven Secrets of Resilience for Parents is the closest thing to filling that gap.
Andrew D. Wittman, Ph.D., is a United States Marine Corps infantry combat veteran, a former police officer, and federal agent. As a Special Agent for the U.S. Capitol Police, Wittman led the security detail for Nancy Pelosi and has personally protected Hillary Clinton, King Abdullah of Jordan, Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Sir Elton John, as well as Fortune 20 CEOs. As a security contractor for the State Department, he taught high-threat diplomatic security to former Navy SEALS, Marines, Rangers, and Special Forces. He is the founder of the Mental Toughness Training Center, a leadership consultancy specializing in strategies on how to take control of your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and actions, especially under pressure and is also the author of the book Ground Zero Leadership: CEO of You (2016). Andrew lives in South Carolina, with his wife, Kim and their three children, Drew (20), Jack (17), Michaela (14).

|... Linux beyond x86
"I think it is a gross error to design an OS for any specific architecture [...] LINUX is tied fairly closely to the 80x86. Not the way to go."
(Andrew S. Tanenbaum)
The world's most popular free operating system Linux does not necessarily need a x86 compatible machine to run on. It works on a lot of different hardware architectures, starting from PDAs up to mainframes. One might say the quotation on the right side, taken from Andrew S. Tanenbaums famous posting "Linux is obsolete", has been taken into consideration during the development process of Linux.
However, the main focus of non-x86 CPUs nowadays is on mobile devices, high end servers, game consoles and embedded devices, the latter of which are not covered here.
AnyTux.org's database gives an overview on how Linux can be used on these systems. Beside some original AnyTux documents many links are available. Currently there are 1931 systems in our database.
We also list system that are not (yet) or only partially supported by Linux.
Feel free to send us any information you would like to see on this website, as well as positive or negative feedback.

I'm moving to a new apartment today. It's groundbreaking because I'm actually going to have room for a dinner table. And you can't have one of those without a few chairs. The bistro chairs from American Country Home look just like the ones you see in cute sidewalk cafes in New York City.
It's $US200 for a set of two, and they'd probably work on your patio as well. You can pick from about two dozen colours, so there's definitely a choice in there that will match with your decor. In fact, I've seen some pretty similar ones on the street before and wondered what someone would do if I just made off with it. Arrest me, most likely. [Apartment Therapy]

Age of Conan goes Free-2-Play today or tomorrow.
It's odd, because the truth is that I ragged a lot on this game when it came out, but AoC has somehow become my favorite non-WoW MMO. I'm not 100% sure why, but here's a list of reasons that you should try out AoC.
1. Sensibility
It has a very different feel than a lot of other MMOs. The setting feels older and rawer. A lot of MMOs feel quasi-Medieval-Renaissance, but AoC is Bronze or Iron Age.
2. Similar, yet different.
AoC is similar enough to WoW that it's easy to adjust to. But it's also significantly different, and at a deeper level than you'd expect. For example, AoC is a tank-healer-dps trinity game. But the default group is 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 2 dps, and that makes the actual experience very unique.
It often seems to me that AoC tries new things at a deeper level than the other game companies. Sometimes they fail, but I give credit for the attempt.
3. Music
The music in Cimmeria is amazing.
Give Age of Conan a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised.
One piece of advice, you really need a good set of keybinds in this game. It makes a huge difference. I use the numpad on my keyboard, and have 4,5,6 bound to the direction attacks and 1-3 and 7-9 bound to specials.

It earns its 'M' rating, correct?ReplyDelete
At least with WOW or LOTRO, I don't have to worry about kids looking over my shoulder, but I'm more apt to play an M game in the time when they're not awake. (or home.)
Technically, I suppose it does deserve the 'M' rating.ReplyDelete
Violence-wise, certainly. There's lots of blood, and the game has fatalities which occasionally trigger when you kill an enemy.
Nudity-wise, I suppose so. But in an odd way, any nudity is sort of incidental. Not especially blatant, just part of the setting.

At the heart of Stand Up To Cancer's (SU2C's) research program is the Dream Team approach. A Dream Team is a scientific task force, a collaboration of top researchers at different institutions who come together to develop new and improved approaches to cancer. By pooling their knowledge and their resources and working together for common goals, they can make progress faster and move therapies and treatments from the laboratory to doctors' offices, where they can benefit patients.
SU2C's distinctive approach to funding cancer research was specifically designed to eliminate barriers to creativity and collaboration by enabling scientists with different areas of expertise from different institutions across the country and around the world to work together. The approach breaks down the "silos" that in the past have often kept scientists from working together.
The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) has been the Scientific Partner of SU2C since it was launched in 2008, working closely with a Scientific Advisory Committee headed by Nobel Laureate Phillip A. Sharp of MIT.
The AACR is responsible for administering the Dream Team grants, distributing the funds to the Dream Team leaders' institutions, following the Dream Teams' progress, and providing scientific oversight through program management and evaluation of the Dream Teams' achievements during the funding period.

Welcome to this in-depth guide on" how to draw an AK-47" Kalashnikov, arguably the most effect assault rifle ever produced. I have designated this tutorial as intermediate, however if you opt to trace the outline of the gun then this is quite an easy drawing to pull off. Drawing an assault rifle is great practise if you want to improve your technical drawing skills - this is not a drawing for those artists who enjoy rough sketching - you will need a ruler and a sharp HB pencil and good patience to follow this tutorial but I have tried to make it as simple and informative as possible. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Probably Approximately Correct
by Leslie Valiant
Now in Paperback
From a leading computer scientist, a grand unifying theory that will revolutionize our understanding of how life evolves and learns, and hence what life is.
How does life prosper in a complex and erratic world? While we know that nature follows patterns—such as the law of gravity—our everyday lives are beyond what known science can predict. We nevertheless muddle through even in the absence of theories of how to act. But how do we do it?
In Probably Approximately Correct, computer scientist Leslie Valiant presents a masterful synthesis of learning and evolution to show how both individually and collectively we not only survive, but prosper in a world as complex as our own. The key is "probably approximately correct" algorithms, a concept Valiant developed to explain how effective behavior can be learned. The model shows that pragmatically coping with a problem can provide a satisfactory solution in the absence of any theory of the problem. After all, finding a mate does not require a theory of mating. Valiant's theory reveals the shared computational nature of evolution and learning, and sheds light on perennial questions such as nature versus nurture and the limits of artificial intelligence.
Valiant provides a new perspective on human nature as a product of evolution and adaptation. If, as human beings, we are shaped entirely by evolution before conception and learning afterwards, then all our characteristics, whether biological or psychological, will have been determined by adaptive mechanisms.
Offering a powerful and elegant model that encompasses life's complexity, Probably Approximately Correct has profound implications for how we think about behavior, cognition, biological evolution, and the possibilities and limits of human and machine intelligence.

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. is now shipping the ICS-X7HD in-dash app receiver. The ICS-X7HD is Alpine's first product that aggregates a variety of information and entertainment content. It was recognized with an Innovations award in the In-Vehicle Audio category at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held earlier this year in Las Vegas, NV.
"As consumers increasingly look to the cloud to consume their entertainment and information, the natural progression of this use has moved to the in-vehicle space," said Steve Crawford, vice president and general manager, aftermarket business unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. "The ICS-X7HD gathers this content and applies Alpine's proprietary user interface, so people can access their information in a manner that is relevant and simple for in-car use."
The ICS-X7HD is a mechless AV receiver with a 7-inch WVGA touchscreen. It comes with a built-in HD Radio™ receiver and BT Plus Bluetooth® wireless technology with advanced audio streaming. The ICS-X7HD can access cloud–based content and services such as:
- Siri Eyes Free Mode – The ICS-X7HD will be available with support for Siri, the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. Through the ICS-X7HD, customers with a compatible iPhone* running iOS 6 can direct Siri to perform a number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. To further minimize distraction, Siri takes hands-free functionality even further with an Eyes Free mode which enables you to interact with your iPhone using nothing more than your voice while keeping your device's screen from lighting up.
- Aha – Aha by HARMAN™ can be launched through the iPhone on the ICS-X7HD. Aha aggregates tens of thousands of audio stations, giving drivers access to everything from web-based music, news, social media, podcasts, audio books and live weather information, to personalized "Hungry" and "Hotel" stations of restaurants and hotels. Users simply install the free Aha Radio app on their iPhone to access a world of content with Aha. When the iPhone is connected to the ICS-X7HD via USB, the driver can store the phone and enjoy and control their favorite Aha stations directly from the ICS-X7HD.
- MirrorLink – MirrorLink takes content from compatible Android™ smartphones and "mirrors" this information onto the ICS-X7HD's 7-inch screen. At this point, the phone's functions are transferred to the ICS-X7HD, for easy control from the dash and allowing the phone to be safely stored away. Phone functions that can be used via MirrorLink include navigation, music streaming and hands-free phone calls. MirrorLink is an automotive standard developed by the Car Connectivity Consortium.
Smartphone users will find the ICS-X7HD's interface to be similar to the everyday functions they use on their phones. Icons can be moved on the ICS-X7HD's screen through a drag and drop motion, on-screen functions are controlled by swipe and slide gestures, and animated transitions move the user from one function to another. Favorite apps can be assigned for quick access through a short press of the Home key, while a press and hold of the Home key brings up all available functions of the ICS-X7HD.
Other entertainment and information sources available through the ICS-X7HD include Pandora® internet radio control through compatible smartphones, SiriusXM compatibility (requires tuner and subscription, sold separately), full music control from an iPod or iPhone, and the App Direct mode for basic control and operation of compatible iPhone apps.
The ICS-X7HD is available now at authorized Alpine retailers.
