Jason Derulo + Girlfriend Jordin Sparks Team Up for 'It Girl' Remix Video
Even though they initially denied their relationship, Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks have confirmed that they are a couple and now they're shouting their love for one another from the mountain tops. Derulo recently dropped a remix of 'It Girl,' and apparently this position has been filled by his lady love Ms. Sparks, as she is featured on the song and in a video accompanying the revamped tune.
Bossip premiered the video for the new version of 'It Girl,' which has a more serious tone opposed to the whistle-laden, blissfulness of the original. The remix has a slower tempo and Derulo ditched the bubbly quality of the OG verison of 'It Girl' for a more romantic, loving R&B melody. Sparks gets her own verse on the song, and she and Derulo, both 22, harmonize together on the chorus, with their voices matching up beautifully.
Even though the song is really catchy, with pounding 808′s and a head-bopping beat, the video is by far the best part. The clip displays behind-the-scenes footage of Derulo and Sparks together, and they might just be the cutest couple in the entire world. Their love for one another really shines through as we see them cozying up together on the couch, laughing hysterically at each other's jokes, and passionately kissing. Can we get a big ol' "awwwww" up in here?!

Love is in the Air...
It's wedding season, and the spirit of fairy-tale perfection is in the air. So naturally, I must CRUSH that spirit with tales of wedding cakes gone wrong!! Mwuahahahahah!
[patting hair] Ahem.
What Stacey H. wanted:
Erm, I'm pretty sure dragging a fork through crusted-over icing doesn't count as a "technique".
Anony Bride wanted a cake with tiers similar to this:
But instead she got tiers like this:
This was Stephanie S.'s inspiration:
I'm not sure who gets the blame for the ribbon selection, but that neon teal "scroll work" combined with the black icing border is sufficiently Wrecky on its own.
And lastly, Vanessa wanted a single layer version of her wedding cake for her one-year anniversary. Here's her wedding cake:
And here's what she got for her anniversary cake:
Ah, the mismatched whites, the battle-scarred frosting, the ponderous folds of flabby fondant! Who else is inspired to throw a toga party?

Charles Darwin in his later years. The year 2009 marks his 200th birthday.

Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was an extraordinary man by any standard. The theory of evolution by natural selection as elaborated in his book, On the Origin of Species,1 is considered by historians and philosophers of science to be one of the most important ideas that the human mind has ever produced.2 The implications of his very useful insight extended beyond science and profoundly impacted the human mind.
Darwin's big ideas
Darwin was born and educated at a time when special creation was the prevailing scientific view. That is, God created the universe and all species a few thousand years ago, and they were unchangeable. "Revelation"—not research—provided this view. Darwin began the HMS Beagle voyage (1831-1836) with this belief. Observations made during the voyage—a surveying trip around the world, which included a stop in the Galapagos Islands—made Darwin question the creation myth and immutability of species. He found marine fossils thousands of feet above sea level, and he reasoned that the land had been elevated by earth movements; it had not been inundated in a great biblical flood. Other observations that influenced his thought included:
The fossil mammals he uncovered in South America resembled living mammals from the same area. Why should this be if each species were specially created? Extinction was hardly recognized in those days.
Why did the animals on islands off continental areas resemble those of the nearest land mass if each species were created in place?
Why were there so many species in an island group that looked very similar but with slight differences from island to island? It is as if "one species had been taken and modified for different ends," he wrote in Voyage of the Beagle.3
None of these things made sense from a creationist perspective. In 1844, he wrote to his botanist friend, Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911) "I am almost convinced (quite contrary to the opinion I started with) that species are not (it is like confessing a murder) immutable."
The elegant simplicity of Darwin's reasoning can be distilled as follows:
- There is variation in nature—many more offspring are generated than can survive; therefore, there is a struggle for life in which favorable variations are preserved and unfavorable variations are removed. This leads to evolution, which he defined as "descent with modification" and to the formation of new species.
Nature is doing the selecting for the forms best adapted to a particular environment, so he called the process natural selection—as opposed to artificial selection that breeders impose. We now know that mutation, chromosomal rearrangements, sexual reproduction, and so on, are the sources of genetic variation, but Darwin had no knowledge of such topics. Today we can speak of "descent with modification" as "a change in gene frequency," and natural selection is simply "differential reproduction," that is, one genetic variant leaves more offspring than another.4
Darwin borrowed the expression "survival of the fittest" from economist Herbert Spencer (1820-1903). Evolutionary fitness means reproductive fitness. In modern terms, the fittest is the one who gets the most genes into the next generation—not necessarily the biggest or strongest individual.
Darwin's explanation of evolution via natural selection is the basis of all of biology and its applied sub-disciplines of medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. No other biologist in the history of our species has had an impact of this magnitude. In the words of the eminent geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."5 The paradigm shift from creation to evolution has moved intellectual endeavors from an untestable beliefs to a rational understanding that flows from the scientific method. This, in turn, has allowed a vast array of advances in knowledge.
Darwinian implications
One of the attributes of a powerful scientific theory is that it enables future research and understanding. For example:
Darwinian or evolutionary medicine6 explains how some disease symptoms, such as fever, may be a response favored by natural selection as a defense against pathogens. Some genetic diseases such as sickle cell anemia may allow differential survival of its victims in malarial zones—a phenomenon called a balanced polymorphism (genetic variation, e.g., blood types).4 This results in a deleterious gene (sickle cell) being maintained at a relatively high frequency in a population, even though it can be lethal in a double dose (homozygous), because it protects its carriers against malaria when present in a single dose (heterozygous).
Evolutionary thinking explains the arms race waged by pathogens and hosts that prevents either from being eliminated completely. Darwinian reasoning easily explains the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through the flagrant overuse of antibiotics. A drug kills the susceptible bacteria leaving bacteria with a pre-existing resistant mutation to build up the next generation. Then when you actually need the antibiotic for a bacterial infection, patients and doctors find that the drug is ineffective. This is evolution, pure and simple.
- A similar process occurs in agriculture with the overapplication of pesticides, and the formation of pesticide resistant pathogens, insects, and noxious plants. Australians are very familiar with the myxomatosis versus rabbit "arms race," whereby the virus initially killed 99% of the non-native rabbits. The virus that causes myxomatosis was introduced deliberately in Australia in 1950, in an attempt to control exotic rabbit infestation. Given enough time, however, the surviving rabbits returned in force as the virus evolved in the direction of less virulence, and the rabbits were selected for more resistance to the virus.7
Evolutionary psychology and evolutionary ethics help explain the origin of morality.8,9 Peacemaking among non-human primates by the calming effect of mutual grooming to diffuse aggression may be seen as the precursor of what became morality in humans.10 Modern religions are recent human inventions—a mere few thousand years old. The antecedents of morality, on the other hand, clearly evolved before humanity, as reflected in the empathy exhibited by bonobos (Pan paniscus), and the reciprocity of chimpanzees (P. troglodytes).11 Kin selection, whereby an individual sacrifices for a close genetic relative, makes sense in an evolutionary context because some of the same genes of the individual making the sacrifice will be passed on by the kin who survives. This is referred to as inclusive fitness.12
The ancestry of the AIDS virus, HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus-1) has been traced to SIVcpz (simian immunodeficiency virus) carried by our closest living relative, the chimpanzees.13 This is not surprising from an evolutionary perspective. Somewhere in a high school today, there is a student whose future career may contribute to the control of the AIDS epidemic. What chance of that would there be if creationism were taught as science in high school?
- Biotechnology—whether in the form of genetically modified crops, designer drugs, gene therapy, or the human genome project—all derive from Darwin's profound insight. Darwin had no knowledge of genes or chromosomes, or of how inheritance worked. This required additional input from the understanding of Gregor Mendel's (1822-1884) genetic work.
The modern evolutionary synthesis grew from Darwin's explanation of natural selection and Mendel's demonstration of inheritance augmented by the research of mathematically oriented population geneticists. This fusion of knowledge moved evolutionary science forward to the middle of the 20th century.14 James D. Watson's and Francis Crick's 1953 demonstration that the molecular structure of DNA allowed for genetic coding was a huge breakthrough that ultimately made it possible to sequence the three billion chemical base pairs that compose the human genome and identify the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA.15,16
Recent discoveries in evolutionary developmental biology, known as evo-devo, have shown that very similar genes are present in very dissimilar animals. These body-shaping genes are controlled by DNA switches called enhancers that turn them on or off at various times in development. Such enhancers are a major factor in the evolution of anatomy.17
- TV viewers are familiar with DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] analysis popularized on CSI [Crime Scene Investigation] programs. DNA-sequencing techniques—whereby the arrangement of A-T-C-G of genetic codes are compared—can convict or exonerate people accused of crimes. Similar techniques can confirm or deny paternity in disputed cases, or can ensure that the expensive grouper fillets you purchase are not flesh from lesser species. Such evolutionary tests are accepted by the judicial system because they pass the Daubert standard for scientific evidence; that is, the techniques were subject to empirical testing, published in peer-reviewed journals, and accepted by the scientific community.18 No such creationist tests exist; if they did, they could not meet scientific or judicial standards.
The Paradigm Shift
The above examples are just a sample of the benefits to society that flow directly from the creative power of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection (for more about Darwin's legacy, refer to Charles Darwin: The concise story of an extraordinary man19). The publication of On the Origin of Species, on 24 November 1859, precipitated one of those rare events in the history of science—a paradigm shift. Philosopher Thomas Kuhn used this term to refer to the replacement of one world view by another.20 Examples of a paradigm shift in science include the replacement of the earth-centered Ptolemaic system by the sun-centered Copernican system; and the replacement of Newtonian physics by relativity and quantum physics. The paradigm shift instigated by Darwin's legacy has made obvious the superiority of this scientific method as a means of understanding the world around us.

Cowboy Ty Murray is the latest star to get the boot from Dancing With The Stars the week before the finale. Ty is however happy to have simply made it this far, saying, "I can't tell you how happy I am," Murray said laughing after the show. "I don't have to learn any more dances."
Ty goes on to make it clear that he has no regrets in having done the show, "The whole reason I did this show is because it was nice for cowboys to be represented in something so pop culture, and this show did in spades," Murray said. "For me to be able to do this is a fantastic opportunity. You don't realize how big something like this is until you're on a show that 25 million people watch."
And how does Ty's rookie dancing partner, Chelsie Hightower, 19 feel about all of this? "I don't know that I expected us to do this well and I couldn't be happier," Hightower added. "I feel great about the run we had and I feel great about leaving right now. It was a great season."
The three remaining stars including — actor Gilles Marini, Bachelor star Melissa Rycroft and Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson — will compete for the season eight mirror-ball trophy next week!

Concerned Amateurs BDSM. Episode 46
Serias of Concerned BDSM n 46
For her second independent Harmony video, producer-director Kelly Ashton asked Jon Woods to write a story which incorporated some of her favorite aspects of bondage: dressing for pleasure, role-playing, and even consensuality with a little conflict. Ms. Ashton chose one of her favorite models, Sadie Atkins, to co-star, and their chemistry really shines through in their performances! (Excellent acting too!) Sadie is a convict who believes Kelly will help hide her when she escapes from prison, but the statuesque goddess thinks the fugitive was sent from a fetish service for a role-playing session. Poor Sadie plays along with her kinky hostess' games, but becomes increasingly confused as the amazonian charmer alternately asks Sadie to tie her up, then wrestles the slender beauty into bondage after she's freed. The accent is on clothes with kink, leather restraints and some unusual gags. If you've been waiting for a high-fetish bondage video where the models do more than just pose, pounce on this one!

Hey Guess what Charlie Crist decided he now believes as of yesterday:
Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who throughout his long political career has been staunchly pro-gun rights, said Wednesday that after the Connecticut school slayings, he now backs controls
That quite a switch but the explanation is simple:
Crist recently became a Democrat and is considering a challenge to Gov. Rick Scott, who long has favored gun rights. Scott has refused to comment on gun measures after the Connecticut shootings, saying it is too early to debate.
Javier Manjarres is not amused
Is there a phonier political opportunist in the country than Charlie Crist?
A reminder the NRSC endorsed Charlie Crist 15 months before the senate primary after which he left the party and eventually joined the Democrats, but until that moment the GOP Establishment sure loved Charlie and that love had more than a political cost:
During a single three-month span of that year, Republicans contributed $4.3 million to the doomed campaign of Charlie Crist.
How's that workin' out for ya?
and that money was not only lost it terms of what was done, but in terms of what could have been done: Jimmie Bise:
Divide $500,000 into $4.3 million. That's how long I could run a hypothetical conservative news site with the money dunderheaded conservatives gave Charlie Crist in just three months.
On the other hand let me remind of a poll that the GOP Establishment didn't have any use for, a fellow named Rick Santorum. I remember (and videoed) him saying this in New Hampshire:
America is a melting pot, not a salad bowl. America is a set of values by which we hold together. That's what holds us together, but there is a different point of view. Some have suggested that no America shouldn't be and is wrong to be, one thing. It needs to be many things. It needs to be what any everybody wants to do. Out of one many. If that's the case then is anybody surprised that we have trouble getting anything done for the one, the country?
Lisa Graas yesterday reminded of these words before the DeMoins Register saying this:
But as Rick Santorum told the editorial board of the Des Moines Register back during the primary, most politicians think of the issues as "little silos" and if one of the "silos" is not popular, the politician can just kick that silo down and take a new position. He sees "the big picture" of where our rights come from, and the very limited role of our government in defending only those rights.
I come back to Santorum's answer on Gay Marriage in Concord NH against a Hostile College Crowd, he didn't duck, he didn't flip he explained and educated:
The GOP Establishment didn't like Rick Santorum, they didn't like his willingness to talk on key issues, he didn't duck, dodge or hide. That scared them. Mitt Romney didn't scare them or the consultants they invested in. The GOP established sure liked Mitt Romney…
…..right up until the day he lost.
Perhaps conservatives should consider a different set of investments, rather than enriching consultants by spending on pols who are so changeable we should invest in selling our ideas to the people they would benefit:
the only hope to go to the people.
Go to the Latinos and Black Americans, explain WHY conservative economics work for them. Explain why an open border hurts THEM and theirs and explain why the entitlement society makes them peons and slaves to the state as sure as if they were in the plantations of South America or the old South.
Go to women explain WHY not only conservative economics works for them but WHY conservatism in social issues benefits them, their children and themselves.
Let Americans know that WHY a strong America makes them safer than a weak one, make the case and do it every single day.
That is a better investment than any dollar to any superpac
This is what new media does, as Stacy McCain put it
For the $4 million that the permatanned RINO Charlie Crist collected during that single three-month span of 2009, you could fund eight spiffy little New Media operations for a year (or four such operations for two years). And FEC contribution limits do not apply to people making "investments" in news operations, so that the rich Republicans would not be restricted in their generosity toward New Media, as they are toward political candidates.
Why is a Media Matters & Think Progress or even a Brett Kimberlin funded? How does the left manage to push this agenda from the web to the MSM and why do they succeed? because as Stacy McCain put it
Soros has figured this out. Rich Republicans have not.
Guys it's time to figure it out.
Update: NRSC not NRCC corrected

Microsoft just announced that Steven Sinofsky, the head of the Windows division, is out.
It's an understatement to say this is a big deal.
When Microsoft launched the Surface tablet, its first attempt at a PC, CEO Steve Ballmer said, "Windows is the heart and soul of Microsoft from Windows PCs to Windows Servers to Windows Phones and Windows Azure."
The man who has been in charge of the heart and soul of Microsoft is out of the company, reportedly because he clashed with other top executives.
If it sounds familiar it's because Apple just fired Scott Forstall, the man who lead iOS, which is arguably the heart and soul of Apple. Forstall was pushed out because he didn't get along with Apple's top executives.
Where the comparison falls apart, however, is when you think about how important each executive is to his company.
Without question, Forstall was a talented, valuable executive. But his signature achievement, the construction of iOS, has a giant asterisk next to it because of Steve Jobs. Jobs' name is the first on the patent for the iPhone software. Then Forstall. Jobs was the leader at Apple, not Forstall.
At Microsoft, it's a much different story.
Sinofsky has led Microsoft's Windows division for years now, and no one would say he's leaning on Steve Ballmer for his success.
Sinofsky was Bill Gates right hand man in the 90s. He warned Gates of the coming importance of the Internet. He later took over the Office division, whipping it into shape. From Office, he moved to Windows.
Sinofsky took over after the company released Vista, a widely panned operating system. He led the development of Windows 7, and delivered it to critical acclaim on time. Now he's delivered Windows 8, a completely redesigned operating system.
As Sinofsky gained power within Microsoft, he reorganized Windows in his own vision. He cut out middle managers. He started to gain influence over other divisions.
He was rumored to be the next CEO. And that may have been what did him in. We're hearing he asked for a formal nod that he was next in line for the throne.
Ballmer balked, and now, Sinofsky's gone. And that means someone else is either going to have to work within the structure he built, or clean it out and figure out a new structure.
Microsoft is actually splitting up his role, giving it to Julie Larson-Green and Tami Reller. Larson-Green will be leading the engineering and Reller will take over the business.
This is the best and worst time for Microsoft to undergo a massive executive shake up.
It's good because it just launched Windows 8. Whatever the plan is for the next version of Windows is probably in the early stages.
It's terrible because Apple and Google are eating Microsoft's lunch.
Just five years ago Microsoft was the world's leading personal computing company. Today, the rise of Android and iOS have made it much less powerful.
These new executives are going to have to come up with a vision for Microsoft to compete with iOS and Android. And when once they've done that, they're going to have to execute against that vision. That means delivering strong software on time, something Sinofsky did over and over again.

PHOENIX (AP) - Ticket scalping is nothing new in the sports and music world, but for a murder trial?
Dozens of people flock to court each day for a chance to score one of a handful of seats open to the public in Jodi Arias' ongoing murder trial in Arizona. The seats are provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and nearly four months into the trial, the crowds are growing.
This week, one trial regular sold her spot to another person for $200 - and both got reprimands from the court on Tuesday.
Desiree Lee, a regular attendee, said another woman had traveled from Michigan to see the trial but couldn't get a seat because she was too far back in line.
'She was asking a couple of people ahead of me if they wanted to sell their seats,' Lee, who lives in the area, told ABC15 in Phoenix. 'I said yes because I can come every day if I wanted to ... I seriously didn't know I was going to get in trouble.
'I'm a little embarrassed more than anything,' Lee added.
She says she was told to return the money. The purchaser kept her seat for free.
Court officials confirmed the incident. The court's rules prohibit saving spots in line, and that's why the woman was asked to give the money back, although she doesn't face any sort of charges.
The message played for callers to the judge's courtroom explains that seats are indeed limited.
'This is a public trial, but it's likely you will not get a seat,' the message says.
Arias faces a potential death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of her one-time boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she planned the attack on Travis Alexander in a jealous rage. Arias initially denied involvement then later blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense.
The trial continues Wednesday afternoon as the prosecution wraps up its rebuttal case with several more witnesses ahead of closing arguments that could come as soon as next week.
While there is no specific law preventing the public from selling their spot in line to get into the trial, Phoenix criminal defense lawyer Julio Laboy called it distasteful and said it undermines the seriousness of the case.
'I think this particular trial has brought out so many salacious facts and sordid details that what happens is people lose sight of how very real this is,' Laboy said Wednesday. 'Whether you like Jodi Arias or not, whether you side with Travis Alexander or not, for these families, it's very real.'
One person is dead and another is on trial for her life, Laboy said.
'It's extremely disheartening, as if people were bartering to get into a Yankees game,' he said. 'For Jodi Arias, this is her life on the line.'
Others said the antics aren't unusual, and even occur at the nation's highest court in Washington.
'As distasteful as it is to most people, it happens at the U.S. Supreme Court each time there's a big case,' said San Francisco criminal defense lawyer Michael Cardoza. 'It's distasteful, but it's not unusual.'
In fact, during the highly publicized Scott Peterson murder trial in 2004 in the San Francisco area, where the man was convicted and sentenced to death in the killing of his pregnant wife Laci, hundreds of trial enthusiasts would show up at the courthouse each day for a chance to score one of just about 28 seats open to the public.
Court officials there operated a lottery system, not first-come first-served, drawing random numbers and calling them out to the applause of each individual winner. The tickets in that case could not be transferred or sold.
The entire Arias case has devolved into a spectacle unlike many other high-profile trials in recent years.
Arias is profiting from her notoriety by selling drawings from jail on a website operated by a third party, her mother, Sandra Arias, has said. According to the site, some pieces are fetching more than a $1,000, and Sandra Arias said the money is being used to help pay for family expenses while attending the trial. Nothing prevents Arias from profiting from her notoriety given she hasn't been convicted of a crime.
A woman in the gallery who attends the trial regularly also says she is operating a Twitter account on Arias' behalf, gathering comments from the defendant via jail phone calls. Some of the Tweets have consisted of religious quotes, while others attack the prosecutor and TV pundits who expound on the case daily.
The Associated Press cannot confirm, aside from with family and friends, whether the Twitter account or website are actually her words or artwork.

In her book, Sudden Death, Rita Mae Brown wrote, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."[1] Think about this quote for a second and ask yourself, does this quote apply to the way you deliver BI solutions? Have you been doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results? If so, then you might want to keep on reading.
I've been in the consulting business for most of my career and have seen too many organizations blame technology for project failures. In the past couple of years, especially, I've seen scads of companies spending ungodly amounts of money to do nothing more than replace one BI tool with another. I liken the decision to blame BI tools for lack of user adoption and downright project failure to Brown's quote. I really have to laugh every time I hear an organization blame a project failure on the BI tool. When the BI team (too often synonymous with the IT group) finds itself squarely in the middle of major business dissatisfaction and low adoption rates, there seems to be a tendency to place the blame squarely where it doesn't belong, namely the BI tools.
But is it really the tool? How can these very same tools be in wide use across the globe and be an integral part of some very successful BI deployments? If it were truly the tools' fault, the vendors selling them would have gone out of business a long time ago and one would expect that hundreds to thousands of successful deployments with a "bad tool" wouldn't be possible.
Psst! Stop and take a moment to listen to what's really being said:
Company 1 - "We're going to replace Tool A with Tool B because Tool A can't deliver what we need."
Company 2 - "We're going to replace Tool B with Tool A because our users aren't using Tool B."
Company 3 - "We're going to replace A and Tool B with Tool C because neither A nor B are cutting it."
Oy vey!
In my opinion, most BI tools available today provide much the same functionality - query, reporting, analysis, dashboard and scorecards. Some are certainly better than others at any point in time, as like most products, they continue to leapfrog each other in features and functions. And for the record, I'm talking about the real BI tools, not basic reporting tools pretending to be BI capable. So if the tools provide similar functionality and have been successfully deployed many times over, what's really going on?
I liken these "Tool Wars" to another manifestation of poorly executed BI programs - speadmarts. To me, they're symptoms of the same disease - IT's failure to truly engage with the business to deliver impactful, insightful, meaningful and intuitive solutions. Seriously, if the BI team were building solutions using business-driven techniques, the solutions couldn't help but be successful.
So, before blaming tools and looking for a replacement, I'd encourage BI groups (IT groups) to first conduct a self assessment. Reach out to the business community for whom the solution was supposedly built and seek to understand what the real objections are. I'd be willing to bet donuts to dollars that the solution is suffering from one or more of the following woes:
- A warehouse was built by IT and "thrown over the fence" to the business community with the expectation that they'll find value in the raw data tables.
- The "BI" implementation is nothing more than a glorified report building environment rather than a metrics- or objectives-based solution that can be leveraged to drive revenue, improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs and maintain strong financial controls. (see "A Business Context for Agile Business Intelligence")
- Time to value is measured in quarters and years rather than in weeks and months because existing delivery processes are mired in traditional waterfall methods.
- Adequate end-user training has not been provided.
In a nutshell, "good" and "bad" have very little to do with the BI tools and lots to do with providing true business value in a reasonable timeframe and at a reasonable cost. When BI solutions are anchored in and aligned with business objectives, the front-end tool really shouldn't matter. If you don't agree, try replacing your BI tool while holding everything else constant. When you deliver the "new and improved" version, don't be surprised when the business looks at you like you're insane!

Occasionally we receive questions regarding rose cultivars with exceptional fragrance, but more often than not home gardeners are more concerned about reducing the time and effort involved in spraying. The Knock Out series has received a great deal of attention in recent years as a low-maintenance, low-spray option, but there are others. One good example would be Home Run, on display for several years now in the Rose Society�s demonstration garden here at the Craven County Agricultural Building.
Home Run actually derives from the Knock Out roses, and seems to possess the same level of disease resistance. You can also skip the frequent deadheading that would be needed for the old fashioned hybrid teas and many others. You can view Home Run and other roses during our next third-Monday plant selection program, scheduled for May 13, 5:30 p.m., on the grounds of the Agricultural Building.
As discussed in previous columns, raspberries are not a good investment of garden space in hot and humid southeast North Carolina, but blackberries certainly are. Erect and thornless cultivars such as Arapaho, Natchez, Apache and Navaho are providing home gardeners with more easily managed blackberry options than were available in the past. The flavor is also excellent as compared with older thornless selections.
Unfortunately, the introduced Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD) threatens to make blackberry production quite a bit more difficult for both the backyard gardener and the commercial grower. And according to N.C. State Extension Entomologist Hannah Burrack, SWD can also affect strawberries and blueberries, and occasionally peaches, figs and grapes.
Burrack has prepared a SWD home garden factsheet for 2013, which should be of great interest to anyone growing these potentially affected fruit crops. Call us at 633-1477 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and I�ll make sure you get a copy.
We�ve recently received questions regarding the Granulate or Asian Ambrosia Beetle, as well as a young pecan tree sample that may have been killed by this insect. Granulate ambrosia beetles leave characteristic toothpick-like strands of boring dust protruding from trunks, but so do certain other beetles. An actual insect sample, dead or alive, would be needed to know for certain.
Successful control relies on protective sprays of high risk trees during the time adult beetles are active. In North Carolina, granulate ambrosia beetle adult activity will peak during March into early April, although they may be present at other times as well.
An excellent way to stay informed on this and similar issues is to subscribe to the twitter alert maintained by NCSU Extension Entomologist Steven Frank. His twitter ID is @OrnaPests. You won�t learn much about the Kardashians on this particular account, but you might find out which insects are headed your way and when. Frank also provides an outstanding entomology resource at http://ecoipm.com. Take a few minutes this weekend to check it out.

Producers confirms J.J. Abrams as Star Wars director
The producer behind the next generation of STAR WARS movies has confirmed STAR TREK director J.J. ABRAMS has been hired to oversee the new installment of the beloved sci-fi series.
After initially denying he was in the running for the job, industry gossip that the filmmaker was close to signing a deal with Lucasfilm's new owners Disney reached fever pitch earlier this week (begs21Jan12) - and now producer Kathleen Kennedy has announced that Abrams is the man to helm the seventh movie in the longrunning franchise.
A statement from Kennedy reads, "It's very exciting to have J.J. aboard leading the charge as we set off to make a new Star Wars movie. J.J. is the perfect director to helm this. Beyond having such great instincts as a filmmaker, he has an intuitive understanding of this franchise.
"He understands the essence of the Star Wars experience, and will bring that talent to create an unforgettable motion picture."
Creator George Lucas sold the franchise to Disney last year (12). Star Wars: Episode 7 will be released in 2015 with Lucas serving as creative consultant.

Mike Taylor's Favorite Techdirt Posts Of The Week
from the shiny-digital-future dept
Mike Taylor here, and it's my pleasure to be your Posts Of The Week host. By day I'm a computer programmer, working for Index Data, the world's tiniest multinational software house, with a portfolio mostly made up of free software. At night, I transform into a palaeontologist. I study sauropods, the biggest and best of the dinosaurs. I'm an associate researcher at the University of Bristol, UK.
Along with Matt Wedel of Western University, USA, I co-write the palaeontology blog Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week, or SV-POW! for short. Over the last few years, we've found that blog naturally mutating into being 50-50 about sauropods and open access. Lots of our thoughts on the appalling mess that copyright abuse has got scholarly publishing into can be found in the Shiny Digital Future section of our blog.
Saturday brought a welcome reminder that we need to get the basics of copyright right. It's not good enough just reforming bits and pieces in an ad-hoc way -- a change of term here, an orphan works ruling there. We need to start from a proper understanding of what copyright is for (it's right there in the Constitution, folks!), with a recognition that there's no clear Creator/Consumer dichotomy now (if there ever was), and a realistic perspective on how technology is irrevocably changing the field. These aren't new insights -- far from it, they're Techdirt perennials -- but they're worthy of revisiting repeatedly. These should be the foundations of our laws, not afterthoughts.
Sunday gave us a Funniest/Most Insightful Comments post touching on last week's story on how anonymous NSA officials want to murder Edward Snowden. I mention this really as a sneaky excuse to link to my own Martin Luther King Day post, Snowden-haters are on the wrong side of history, where I note the similarity of the rhetoric between Hoover's FBI against King and Clapper's NSA against Snowden. Ever notice how we don't have a J. Edgar Hoover Day?
(In a similar vein, later in the week, see Before Snowden, Nixon Admin Pioneered Evidence-Free 'Russian Spy' Smears Against Daniel Ellsberg.)
Monday ... was quiet.
Tuesday saw confirmation that the Department of Homeland Security yanked a guy out of a movie and interrogated him for hours because they didn't like his glasses. This was a man who wears Google Glass as his regular spectacles with prescription lenses, and who of course had them turned off as he watched the movie. Apparently that gets you a grilling from the federal government now. As the DHS helpfully explains on its own web-site, "The Department of Homeland Security has a vital mission: to secure the nation from the many threats we face. [...] Our duties are wide-ranging, but our goal is clear - keeping America safe." Safe from men wearing spectacles.
(See also ICE Takes To Twitter In Ridiculous Attempt To Defend Interrogating A Man In A Movie Theater For Wearing Google Glass.)
Better news on Wednesday as the Supreme Court reaffirmed something lower courts seem insistent on getting wrong: that in patent cases, the burden of proof is with the patent holder. This is good news because patents, originally intended as an incentive for innovation, far more often turn out to be impediments. The idea that the accused party is guilty until proven innocent is pure gravy to patent trolls, and it's encouraging to see anything that helps to bulldoze them out of the path of the Future Train.
And more good news on Thursday, from a most unlikely source. Microsoft have traditionally been Bad Guys, the owner-operators of a monopoly operating system that's modeled all that's bad about proprietary software, and taught a generation of people that daily crashes are normal, and a new computer can be expected to function well for about a year before it starts mysteriously slowing down and generally not working. It's well documented that Microsoft have abused their monopoly.
But today they're the Good Guys. All of Microsoft Research's papers will be published open access, free for the world to read. Their actual policy is not particularly detailed -- crucially, it says nothing about what license the papers will use -- but we can expect to see that firmed up, and hope that they will use the minimally restrictive Creative Commons Attribution license that's favored by major open-access players like BioMed Central, The Public Library of Science and PeerJ because it allows the freedom to re-use as well as to read.

Rounding off the week, Friday showed us that while copyright abuse is common and patents hardly seem to have any other use but abuse, trademarks are perfectly capable of holding their own when it comes to the Unholy Trinity of abused intellectual properties. King, who make the popular game Candy Crush, have somehow managed to obtain a trademark on the word "candy". Not the phrase "candy crush", you understand -- which would make some sense. But the word "candy".
Frankly, this one baffles me. I can understand the motivation of patent trolls: they hope to leech free money out of society by coercing productive citizens into buying licenses for their patents. I can understand why copyright holders abuse their rights to squeeze more money out of customers. But I just don't see where the revenue stream is in this kind of trademark abuse. It's not possible to sell a license to use a trademark, so what's in it for King? I just don't get it.
Finally, and speaking of abusing a right, I'd like to take the opportunity of abusing this platform to draw attention to a speech I heard about this week. It was given by Labour MP Michael Meacher on 13 January in the House of Commons (UK): poverty in Britain. Admittedly, this isn't a techie issue; but it's relevant to Techdirt readers because Techdirt readers are human beings:
There are at least 345 food banks [...] Emergency food aid was given to 350,000 households [...] The Red Cross is setting up centers to help the destitute, just as it does in developing countries.
This in a country with the 6th highest GDP in the world. This would be appalling even if it was just an unavoidable consequence of the global economic downturn; but as Meacher's speech shows, it's largely the result of deliberate government policies, particularly benefit sanctions. Horrifying, disgraceful and shameful. We have to find a better way.
Sorry to sign off on such a negative note, but this is important and needs to be widely known. Let's hope next week brings better news.

The 2011 San Diego Comic-Con is finally in full swing and there are plenty of movies, TV shows and comic books all clamoring for your attention and dollar. Besides all the panels, round table interviews and promotional boothes inside the convention center, studios also hold promotions outside the facility in the surrounding parking lots - in this case Petco Park (home to the San Diego Padres).
Hugh Jackman made a surprise appearance this morning to do a promotion for his upcoming fighting robot movie Real Steel, and during the Q&A time with the audience he dropped some pretty interesting bits of information regarding Wolverine 2 - namely who the main villain is and when they will start shooting the film.
Naming the villain could be considered a spoiler to some folks, so if you don't want to know who it will be, I suggest you stop reading NOW.
Said Jackman to the audience:
"I'm filming Les Miserables in February, but before that I will be filming Wolverine 2 in October. Chris McQuarrie has written a fantastic script and it should turn out really good. I'll fight the Silver Samurai in it so that should be exciting. Most of the filming will take place in Japan."
Last month (June) James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma) was announced as the man who will helm the second film - tentatively titled The Wolverine - after Darren Aronofsky stepped down. Though nothing had been confirmed we speculated a while back that one of the villains could potentially be the Silver Samurai and now thanks to Jackman we know this is the villain writer Chris McQuarrie (Jack the Giant Killer) has chosen.
The Silver Samurai (character's "real" name is Kenuichio Harada) has a long history in the Marvel Universe and should make an admirable foe for Wolverine. Harada is actually the half-brother of Wolverine's lover Mariko Yashida and he has major issues with her relationship with Wolvie. In the comics, Wolverine is trained in the ways of the samurai by Kenuichio and Mariko's father Shingen and eventually joins Shingen's Clan Yashida.
There is no word yet on who might play the Silver Samurai but as Comic-Con goes on over the next 3 days there is a good chance more information regarding The Wolverine will trickle out, and that question could be answered as well.
Who would you like to see play the Silver Samuari in The Wolverine? (Ken Watanabe is my first choice).

Here's an idea—why don't we round up every trance act and send them all into space? So we never have to hear that incessant doof doof noise any more. Let's hope Richard Branson agrees.
Trance "act" Above & Beyond DJed in the Mojave desert yesterday for Branson's SpaceShipTwo event, and are so desperate to see space, they've asked if they can join the ride. Hailing from the UK, Above & Beyond certainly sound space-nutty, sampling Buzz Aldrin in one of their tracks.
Boasting to NME, one of the trancers, Jono Grant, said:
"We're big fans of all things space-related and so in terms of dream gigs, this is up there alongside our performance in Rio to one million people"
Branson, how about forgetting the whole 'space passenger fights' thing and turning SpaceShipTwo into an intergalactic anti-Noah's Ark? [Above & Beyond NME via TechRadar]

OSWEGO — SUNY Oswego's Tyler Hall will undergo a $22.2 million rejuvenation starting this summer, welcoming campus and community about a year and a half later to a more approachable, flexible and high-tech home for the performing and fine arts.
$22.2M project to modernize SUNY Oswego's Tyler Hall plus its theatre, gallery
Work will include a fully accessible Waterman Theatre with modern seating, lighting, sound and multimedia; a two-story music rehearsal hall doubling as a new venue for small performances; facade improvements that include two inviting new entrances at the building's eastern corners, leading to a spacious and welcoming lobby; an expanded box office, new elevator, larger and more flexible Tyler Art Gallery; a digital media lab and a recording studio; and a host of environmentally friendly improvements to the building's heating, ventilation, air conditioning and other systems, from lower level to roof.
That comprises Phase 1 of a three-phase master plan to revitalize the 46-year-old Tyler Hall and nearby Hewitt Union as an arts district and long-planned home of the college's School of Communication, Media and the Arts.
"There's still a lot to do in Tyler," said Fritz Messere, SCMA dean and a key liaison articulating arts needs and ideas to Pfeiffer Partners Architects and their engineering, acoustics and other consultants. "But this first phase really sets the stage by completely renovating the mechanicals, by reconfiguring the entrances and lobby area giving students and the public a place to congregate, and it gives music students a place to rehearse and perform, and students in art, art history and museum studies a better place to study and display their works."
Bette & Cring, a Latham contractor with an office in Watertown, was the apparent low bidder Feb. 5 to bring to life the SUNY Construction Fund-financed project. The company has done higher education construction projects at University at Albany, Albany College of Pharmacy, SUNY Adirondack, SUNYIT and Hudson Valley Community College, among others.
Alternative venues
During the renovation period for the 81,500-square-foot Tyler Hall, the SUNY Oswego art, music and theatre departments and the Artswego Performing Arts Series will offer exhibitions and performances in alternate campus and community locations — using the temporary dislocation as an opportunity to explore new ways of engaging audiences.
"We like the motto adopted by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as they face a similar situation," said SCMA Associate Dean Julie Pretzat. "Closed for construction, but more open than ever!"
Artswego director John Shaffer also expressed excitement about possibilities that have arisen during the search for alternate venues. For example, he said, negotiations are in progress with a Brooklyn-based dance company for the creation of a site-specific performance at a city park or historical site.
"The temporary loss of Waterman Theatre and Tyler Art Gallery can be a time of festive exploration for the campus and community with surprises and lasting benefits for both," Shaffer said.
Messere said classroom and lab theatre modernization and many other improvements in Tyler would need to await Phase 2 funding.
The money for phases 2 and 3 of the project remain to be allocated in the state's capital plan.
"My goal is to move all of communication studies and graphic design into a new, reimagined Hewitt Union, and to have an arts precinct or an arts district that combines visual communication, multimedia communication and the fine arts together in one place," the dean said.
Road to renewal
Tom LaMere, the college's director of planning and design, said he's hopeful Gov. Andrew Cuomo's capital plan could accommodate the remaining work on Tyler and Hewitt a couple of years from now. In the meantime, he said that at any given point in time during Tyler's Phase 1 renovation there could be up to 60 workers employed in various trades.
Messere expressed particular excitement about the music rehearsal hall, something the college has never before had.
"The rehearsal hall has been designed in a very striking manner, so it's going to look very interesting as well," he said. "It's really going be to a kind of showplace in some ways, and I think that's going to encourage students who want to study music to come to Oswego."

The EB092 Arduino Mega Shield is part of the E-blocks range of circuit boards. This board allows you to use an Arduino Mega, ADK, Uno, Leonardo, Mini, Micro, or Nano module as the heart of an E-blocks system. The D-type connectors provide a bus system that enables "clean" access to all I/O lines. This allows you to use downstream E-blocks with the Arduino upstream microcontroller architecture. All the standard signals from the Arduino board are brought across onto the Shield board including the reset switch, power LED, microcontroller VCC, analog reference, ICSP header and screw terminals to allow for easy connection with the voltage regulators on the Arduino board.
To use an Arduino Nano, Micro or Mini, you'll either have to solder it to the through-hole pads on the shield, or install sockets first. We have a pack of sockets available that you can break down to the sizes you'll need. Note: An Arduino Mini should be version 04 or higher.
Note: If you only intend to use an Uno or Leonardo (and in many cases the smaller modules too), you might consider the smaller and cheaper EB093, since this EB092 has a lot of Mega/ADK-specific ports that you won't be able to use on those smaller Arduinos.
Once your Arduino is attached, the eight downstream E-blocks DB9 ports (J1 through J3) will be connected to the following Arduino pins (note that Arduino boards other than the Mega and ADK have fewer available pins, e.g. an Uno only has A0-A5 and D0-D13; be aware of the capabilities of your Arduino if you choose to use this shield with something other than a Mega or ADK):
The Mega/ADK's D48-D53 pins are available on through-hole headers.
The Arduino's power pins (AREF, Vin, 5V, 3.3V, IOREF) are routed to accessible screw terminals. The Arduino's reset pin is routed to an accessible button, and its ICSP header is routed to a new header on the EB092, making it possible to reprogram the Arduino via ICSP without having to remove it from this shield. Note: For the routed ICSP header to be used with an Uno/Leonardo clone, that clone must have its ICSP header in the default location so that it can plug into the shield's socket. Some clones, e.g. those by Olimex which we carry, have the ICSP header in a different location, or don't have the ICSP pins installed by default.
The AREF jumper allows the Arduino's analog positive reference voltage to be connected either to the microcontroller's VCC (marked +V) or to another input voltage which can be supplied via the pin pad marked EXT.
E-Blocks can be put together to form a variety of systems that can be used for teaching and learning electronics, and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems.
Each E-Block has one or more 9-way D-type connectors that provide up to eight input/output lines and a ground line. These D-type connectors allow connection between E-Blocks to be made in buses of multiples of 8 lines, just like a real electronic system. Power is routed separately to those E-Blocks that need it.
Processing E-Blocks based on PIC, dsPIC, ARM or AVR microcontrollers, Altera FPGAs, Arduino or Raspberry Pi control the whole E-Blocks system. Processing E-Blocks provide up to five input/output ports with up to eight lines per port.
Please see the E-Blocks Category for a list of available components. For more details on E-Blocks, see the E-Blocks User Guide (in English, French, German and Spanish) or watch the Introduction to E-Blocks video.

lks like it'll be fun
The game you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this game, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
This game is based on the tv series Stargate, the earth ship, Prometheus, has been rebuilt, and is now being used to fight the remaining ori and wraith in the Milky Way galaxy. Fight as Prometheus against those enemies in an Asteroids style shooter. A demo for this game is already available, it is simply the navigation system which will be used, the game so far has been made in Macromedia Flash Proffesional 8, and will continue to be made in Flash. The way in which it is being made will allow me to easily add features and levels any time I wish, which also allows me to add more to the story and create expansions to it. Have fun.
A quick demo made to show the navigaion of the game, pretty much asteroids with a stargate theme, but the asteroids shoot back and arent asteroids, well...apart from the actual asteroids...which arent in the game at all yet...have fun ^_^

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

One of Montana's leading Tea Party figures has posted a photo for a device she says can lure the President. Here it is–a Tea Party animal trap for a black person.
Here's Olsen's post, courtesy of the Montanafesto blog.
Jennifer Olsen is the leader of Montana's largest TEA Party faction, the Yellowstone County Republican party in Billings. She also leads the Yellowstone County Montana Shrugged TEA Party.
