The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is a public university in Sydney, Australia. The university was founded in its current form in 1988, although its origins trace back to the 1870s. It is part of the Australian Technology Network of universities.
The present-day University of Technology originates from the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (the oldest continuously running Mechanics' Institute in Australia), which was established in 1833.[4] In the 1870s, the SMSA formed the Workingman's College which was later taken over by the NSW government to form, in 1882, the Sydney Technical College.[1] In 1969, part of the Sydney Technical College became the New South Wales Institute of Technology (NSWIT). It was officially unveiled by Neville Wran.
It was reconstituted as the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), in 1988 under the University of Technology, Sydney Act of NSW State Parliament, which was later superseded by the University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1989 (NSW). In 1990, it absorbed the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education of the Sydney College of Advanced Education, under the NSW Higher Education (Amalgamation) Act 1989.
Although its antecedent institutions go back as far as 1893, they took new shapes from the 1960s, creating a new University focused on practice-oriented education with strong links to industry, the professions and the community, and with a growing research reputation and a strong commitment to internationalisation.[5]
UTS has had three phases in its history:

The University of Technology Sydney is an interesting mix of architectural styles reflecting the different periods in which the buildings and grounds were constructed and renovated. The famous 'Tower' building is an example of brutalist architecture with square and block concrete designs. Built following massive student protests in U.S. colleges like Berkeley and Kent State University, the building was designed to do away with large, outdoor areas and hence limit students' ability to stage large protests. The Haymarket campus (Building 5) combines a modern interior with the remaining exterior of the old markets building, and the recently completed buildings 4 and 6 are designed with an element of high-tech architecture.
In October 2006, the university's tower building was voted by 23% of the total vote in a poll hosted by The Sydney Morning Herald as ugliest building in Sydney.[7]
The University recently acquired the former Sydney Institute of Technology building that stands opposite to Building 10 (on Jones St) and adjacent to Building 2. This building was named Building 7, but was demolished to make way for an extension of Alumni Green. Currently, the university is constructing an underground multi-purpose sports hall beside the Alumni Green. Designed by PTW Architects, this project commenced in late January 2010 and opened in April 2011.[8]

The University offers modern, self-catering accommodation in five buildings named Yura Mudang, Gumal Ngurang, Geegal, Bulga Ngurra, and Blackfriars. Yura Mudang is the largest complex with 720 beds. The 14 levels of Housing (21 levels in total) are built on top of UTS building 6 on Harris Street. Gumal Ngurang is the second largest complex and is located on Broadway, just down the road from Bulga Ngurra.
This section needs to be updated. (September 2016) |
2009–2013 will see the construction of a new building on Broadway to house the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology. In the medium term future UTS will make a significant investment in its facilities intending to create a world-class campus. This is part of the UTS City Campus Masterplan which was approved by the University Council in August 2008.[9] This plan which was unveiled to the public on 19 January 2009 will commence in mid 2009 and involve:[10]

Tips: Waste Blocks |
Waste Blocks Instead of cutting waste blocks using the bandsaw or a hole saw, I glue scrap boards together in layers to form lengths 3" thick by 20" long (8 cm by 50 cm). I turn the lamination to a cylinder of a diameter that will fit my chuck. I cut thicknesses as needed, using the bandsaw with the cylinder safely held in a V block. I generally use a section that is 2" (50 mm) thick so that the project is kept away from the chuck, but you may wish to have the bottom of the turning blank rest on the shoulder of the chuck jaws for additional support. Because I am gluing endgrain, I use five-minute epoxy to glue the waste block to the turning stock. It is a nice way to make use of bland or damaged wood. ~ Thomas J. Daluisio,Hayes, Virginia

In 1969, smack dab in the midst of the Cold War, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built a 12-bedroom, 12-bath, 14,000 sq. ft. bunker in Southeast Georgia that cost $7 million. Now, after renovations in 2012 to bring it up to code, the bunker is for sale for the low fee of $17.5 million! Buried 45-feet deep in the ground, this shelter can withstand a 20-kiloton nuclear explosion, and comes stocked with a 1,000-galloon fresh water reserve. Sounds amazing, right? Well, to truly understand how incredible this bunker is, you'll have to see it for yourself!
Along with the multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, this shelter comes equipped with medical centers, a movie theatre, and a classroom!
A look at just how deep in the ground this facility is.
The movie theatre, complete with classic movie posters adorning the walls!
The home theatre provides a more intimate setting.
Of course, you've got to have a business center to get work done!
But never forget, the most important thing is luxury.
The hallways to the apartments. Oh, did we forget to mention there are apartments?
You definitely won't feel like you're underground while sleeping in one of these beds.
Don't forget about the beautiful, modern kitchen.
Just look at those granite countertops!
And stainless-steel appliances! What are your thoughts about this underground bunker? Let us know in the comments below!

Have you ever noticed how adaptable this song is? Yeah, I know, I promised nothing like, well, this on this site, but hey, you might find it funny…
So here it is, I present to you, the 12 days of electronics to be sung to the obvious tune!
A 35 watt soldering iron
2 rheostats
3 555's
4 Film Resistors
5 Ferrite Rings
6 crystal oscillators
7 pin headers
8 reels of wire
9 zenner diodes
10 power relays
11 transistors
12 schematics
So there we go, moment of sanity over, back to irrationality as I try to electrocute myself a little more. So until next time, ciao!
All I wanted was a way to place the number of comments Akismet has saved me from placed in a sidebar is a form which blands with my blog. But none was available!
I was because of this I decided to write one, at this point 'Akismet Spam Counter Widget' was born. Yeah, original name I know, but it says what it does. Simple, to the point. Same as the widget
It has two options, the first is the title of the widget, the second being the text of the widget.
The way it behaves is identical to that of the text widget, except the it replaces any instance of a token with a statistic.
For example, lets say Akismet has blocked 123 spam comments and you put this into the Info box:
Yahoo! !akismettotal! spam comments blocked!
You widget will actually display:
Yahoo! 123 spam comments blocked!
Tokens you can use are:
- !akismettotal! – Total number of spam items blocked by akismet
- !currentspam! – Number of items currently in your spam box
- !approved! – Number of comments that have been approved. If you have no moderation, this is all non-spam
- !unapproved! – Messages that are not spam and that have not been aprroved. If you have moderation disabled, this will always be zero.
I would like to say thanks to How To Stuff for their post How to write a WordPress widget (how I created the tip of the week) which gave me most of the information needed to make my widget. Thanks guys!
You can get the plugin from the Wordpres plugins directory here:
Until we meet again, so long!
Windows Automatic Updates. Such a small piece of software that's meant to save you time and keep you system up to date with little to no inconvenience to the user, and yet it is all but convinient.
How often have you been working on your system and you keep getting a little window bugging you to reboot? Or been playing a game, and repeatedly minimises you game to show you this little window? How about left you machine for a few minutes to get a coffee or the like, and returned to find the system has automatically restarted and closed all your windows and lost a chunk of work?
Ok, this isn't the perfect soloution, but it is a beginning.
This small app that is designed to sit in the system tray and show you the status of the windows update service. If this service is stopped, then no updates, but you do get rid of those bug windows.
This app gives you the ability to stop, start and restart the service, aswell as allowing this app to start with windows, so it is always there.
Detect WAU windows and automatically shut down the service
Option: Auto stop service on start (Useful as many spyware apps detect the disabled service as a threat)
Option: Change statup type (Auto -> Manual -> Disabled)
Anything else? Place sugestions in the comments!
There are more themes turning up that are officially from microsoft that are fully signed, meaning you don't need to modify you windows XP install to use them, but were made instantly available to everybody for various reasons.
Download them here
1) Unstyled
I'm sure you've seen this, if this is what you are going for, did you know you can disable the themes service and save a little memory? Not a huge amount, but it might help depending on the system…
2,3,4) Windows XP style
Yup, they're the default themes, included for completeness. Blue, Silver and Olive green… original names eh?
5) Embedded Style
Provided as part of Windows XP Embedded.
6) Zune Style
The official microsoft Zune Style, but has been made into a zip instead of the msi that is provided directly from MS. This is a free download available to all.
7,8) Royale Style (MCE Theme aka Energy Bliss) and Noir
This was provided with windows XP Media Centre Edition only, but has been extracted so it may be installed on any XP edition. This package also provides the Royale Noir style, thanks to http://samanathon.com/royale-noir-a-secret-xp-theme-uncovered-7/
Note: The download from here has been updated by comparison to that from samanathon.com
I hope these are useful, to install any of these these and styles, unzip into '<Windows Directory>\Resources\Themes', for example, on my system it is C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes.
There are some really tallented people out there that have made some brilliant remixes to the song "Still Alive" which occures at the end of the game "Portal" from Valve. Partially to bring them together, and partially to make sure they dont go missing, I have put them together here. If you are the author of one of these tracks and would prefer me to link to it insead of hosting it, please get in touch (via the comments) and we will sort it out!
All this work has / should have some attribution to John Coulton, for his brilliant work on Portal.

I have the 30GB model of this brilliant little player.
The sound quality is good and the battery life is brilliant. It does not, however, play OGG, FLAC or SID files. It is because of this that I decided that I would like to run rockbox on it. This seemed like little more than an idea when I first looked into it, as there was only the beining of a project page open about it.
However, things have changed! It would appear that it is not too far off. There is a replacement bootloader and rockbox has been booted on one. It is not yet functional, but this is a very big step towards that.
I would liketo say a big thanks to everybody that has worked on Rockbox, not only the main application but the porting og it to various devices. It is something that, for the moment, is way more advanced than I am able to do.
I will be keeping an eye on this, I might soon be able to abandon restrictive MP3 for the open OGG Vorbis format.
I've picked up a Victorian mantle clock. I know nothing about them, except I love clockwork movements.
It does have 1 small problem…. it doesn't run.
The movement has "(L.T.M)" stamped onto it around the rim of the face that is covered by the case. "9150" is also visible there as well as on the pendulum and the back of the movement. "45" is also present on the back of the movement.
The movement itself is run by a "going barrel" so that tension on the train is not lost during winding. This not only keeps the clock ticking, but improves time accuracy. The design is a generic design, used my many manufacturers, so no clues there. As the dial shows by the single key hole, it has no chime… Good!
On the bottom of the case, the number "105" is clearly visible in the cement.
The face looks like an enammeed tin, due to its opacity, with painted roman numerals. There is some inscription on the back of the dial, but it looks like the bezel is holding it together. There is no way that that is going to be seen, shame, my curiosity is going to nag at me now.
I have been reliably informed that it looks like it was English made, due to some decent work on its construction, Bonus! The number "9150" and "45" could lead me back to the manufacturer of the movement (sans case, hands and dial), or maybe the jeweler who fitted the mech into a case etc. the 105? A serial or case type, although unlikely. It has been sujested that it was scratched there by a pawn broker to identify to him who sold it to him, nice eh?. L.T.M could be the clock maker.
I have been informed that it is really hard to track this kind of thing, so I'll probably do some googling, but I don't hold much hope.
I know the case is slate, other than that, this is all I know about it. Any more information would be great!
The DVD is only there as a size guide.

Everyone in this world is significant, often more so than you would think. If you asked ten married people, for example, how they met their wife, how many of them would tell you an obscure story about how they bumped into them whilst shopping, she dropped the eggs and they started talking? Such a simple act introduced two people that otherwise would never had met.
Annother example could be that you got lost in some obscure town when you went for a drive, but instead of asking for directions, you pulled the sat nav out of the glove box and hit the big "take me home" button. You never went to the little coffee shop that was the only one open that sunday and sat with the girl at the coffee bar and asked, "Where the hell am I?".
Has technology made us less social? Is it removing those little meaningless interactions with other people? How many times has a GPS or some other piece of technology got in the way of meeting someone who you will now never meet but could have been the best mate you would ever find? Or did she sell you the GPS?
It really is amazing the lengths people go to, just to avoid doing something. For those who do not know what procrastination is, here are a couple of definitions:
> the act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or defering an action to a later time
> dilatoriness: slowness as a consequence of not getting around to it
Sound familiar? Thought it might!
So far I have updated my website, posted countless (alright… quite a few… I really can't be bothered to count them) entries on twitter not to forget various other bits of code and website trickery.
It is amazing how ones prorities can so easily be altered, just because you dont want to do it. Yet it is the thing that needs to be done the most.
On with the coursework I guess…

"A Dark Age for Medievalists" Round-Up
5 comments:
Coming to this story a little late, my ire is still fresh. Ya know, I usually love being quoted, but it burns my toast to be misrepresented completely (I was the lamenting professor from UConn in the feminist panel). I never said I had trouble getting students to sign up for my courses! In fact, my classes are usually packed and the students overwhelmingly respond positively to the subject material, often taking classes again with me (overturning her notions that students hate both feminist studies AND medieval studies). What I lamented was student resistance to the idea of "feminism" and their conflation of gender studies with "feminism." The darling Ms Allen should either take better notes or listen better in the first place; it seems that her preconceived notions regarding KZoo clogged her ears and clouded her judgment. I can't WAIT for her book to come out! I plan to make a point of attending her papers in the future. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and your patience with my rant.
ReplyDeleteI've read many, many articles like this--but they're usually about science fiction conventions (I've written SF) or LGBT gatherings (Pride, conferences, etc.). Difference frightens some people. The bigger the conference, and the more fun attendees seem to be having, the more the media want to portray people as wingnuts.
It might be a good idea to get used to it. Now medievalists are on the radar, it will happen more often. In a few years, they'll move on to someone else...

Blizzard Entertainment wants my feedback!
Unfortunately... I'm not sure it's actually going to be very useful to anyone. On the plus side, the questions indicated to me that Blizzard is quite aware of most of the game's current problem areas, but the way they were phrased I doubt that my (or anyone's) answers are truly going to provide a lot of useful feedback to the developers.
Am I "satisfied" with daily quests? No, not really, though some are better than others. They never asked about the whys though, so for all I know they could interpret my answer as "There aren't enough dailies, we need to make more!", which could hardly be further from my intended message.
Same with raiding. How useful is it really to simply ask me to rate how "fun" I consider raiding on a scale of one to seven? If you're just going to guess about what exactly I like and dislike about it, you're just as likely to make things even worse. Am I satisfied with Cataclysm raiding? Considering that it made me quit that part of the game after more than four years, definitely not, but it's not as if Cataclysm just dropped one big change on me that instantly flipped my feelings from love to hate; it's been a long time coming based on changes that already started in WOTLK.
Do I approve of storyline quests? In principle yes, I just wish that they didn't turn entire zones into one giant linear quest chain. But again, if I simply declare that I haven't liked the Cataclysm storylines that much, how are they going to interpret that? Now I'm actually kind of worried about my responses being used to justify more changes that I won't like.
At least I got a chuckle out of how many questions they asked me about Star Wars: The Old Republic. Are you going to buy it? Are you going to stop playing WoW then? They may not care about the details of my opinion about the game, but they are certainly concerned about the competition...
9 comments:
Wow, that's crazy. I hope they would listen to you, but the cynical side of me does see the SWTOR questions and think "oh so thats why they suddenly 'care'".
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea Blizzard did those kinds of surveys (the only one I've seen was the one you can get after a GM chat).If they would fear SW:TOR, they would release D3 in December to rain on their parade. D3 can't be that unfinished that can't rush it out. I mean, it must be at least as finished as e.g. Cataclysm or TBC when it was released (Cata wasn't done in all low level zones and TBC was severely lacking in raiding content by the time it was released).
And yes, the question why I quit were cute. I played WoW for many years and they offered me about 5 reasons and "other". Other had a text field which capped at about 250 chars. :)Very interesting; I've been a customer for a long time and never gotten one of these. I wonder how different my answers now would be from several years ago. In fact... if you still have that email, could yo zap it over to my site in a comment or via email? I feel a great post idea coming on.
Great post!I've had one of those surveys on two occasions, once this year, once several years ago. I've always assumed that they sample (say) 1% of their player base a year by that kind of method, to supplement things like in-game statistics, forum feedback, community trends (like on this blog).
Having spent 19 of my 40 years of life crunching very large volumes of information, I doubt they intend these surveys to provide detailed answers. That's not really the point of a survey like this. Rather, they might notice a trend that less dailies are being done, they see on the forums and in blogs that people find Firelands dailies grindy, and this is corroborated by their 1% of population survey sample that says they don't like dailies. The different data sources all point in the same direction, so they can draw some conclusions. To design *and analyse* a really large survey covering even 1% of the population (or 0.5% or whatever it is) with text answers is mildly ludicrous in concept.
I think something like a couple million wow players in Europe? So for Europe alone, a 1% survey is 20,000 replies. Surveys aren't designed to find out the answers (for lots of reasons). Surveys are designed to find out what areas the questions *might* lie in. That's all.
Boring Pedant@Redbeard: Actually they asked whether I played a couple of different "rival" games, and Rift was among them. Since I don't play it though, I didn't get asked any more questions about it. Maybe there are some if you tell them that you do play it.
@Stubborn: I mailed you; I hope you can still do something with your great post idea even if you can't do the survey.
@BoxerDogs: You're not boring, that was quite insightful. :) I never meant to imply that they should ask open questions though, just ones that are more specific and less open to interpretation maybe? It's just that there are so many different aspects to raiding for example, that simply asking me to rate raiding in its totality strikes me as not very useful, unless they are considering getting rid of it altogether instead of aiming to fine-tune it better.

Diego Maradona
Personal details
Full name Diego Armando Maradona
Date of birth 30/10/1960
Place of birth Buenos Aires, Argentina
You hear the name Maradona and what do you think of? Number 10 shirt? Cocaine? The best player ever? Or 'that' goal? Diego Maradona is one of, if not, the greatest footballer the world has ever seen. His skill is completely unfathomable and the way he controlled every single game in which he played, had never been seen before and hasn't been seen since. Whatever you think of when you hear the name, you can rest assured that the word "legend" is never far from your thoughts.
From the streets to the stadiums
Diego Armando Maradona sounds like a stage name to us now but to those in the shantytowns on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Diego was one boy in thousands, using football as an escape from poverty. It wasn't long before he was spotted at his local club and he was asked to play for junior team, Argentinos Juniors, when he was only 12. He remained at this club for five years, before being snapped up by the biggest club in Argentina, Boca Juniors, for the princely sum, at the time, of £1 million. He helped them to become league winners and was starting to attract the attention of the rest of the world.
He was quick, he was strong and he was more skilful than anyone in the whole league. His height wasn't that great but he made it work to his advantage. It meant he could stop and start with sudden bursts of strength and speed. He was a nightmare for defenders at such a young age and with very little top-flight experience, he was a rapidly growing talent.
Europe called and Diego answered
Barcelona waved a record-breaking £5 million in Boca's direction and the Argentines released Diego in 1982. Although he helped Barcelona to win their national cup competition, he didn't get on too well there and repeating bouts of sickness meant it was time to move on again and sooner than expected.
In 1984, southern Italian club Napoli made Barcelona an offer they couldn't refuse. It was another record breaker: £6.9 million for the star, but he was worth every single penny. With Maradona leading the charge, Napoli finally over-took their northern rivals and were crowned Serie A league winners twice, Coppa Italia winners once and UEFA and Italian Supercup winners. However, Maradona started to fall from grace during the late eighties in Naples, and it would sadly become the beginning of the end for the legend.
His beloved Argentina
Maradona is much more famous for playing for his country than for a club team. He made Argentina one of the greatest teams ever, during the 1980s and no team looked forward to playing against the likes of Diego.
He began his international playing career at only 18 and made an immediate impression during the Football World Youth Championships. When he was 22, he played in all of the World Cup matches, showing the world what he was capable of, even though one of those things was being sent off.
The next World Cup in 1986 was to be Maradona's defining moment though. He captained his country in every minute of every game and finally they defeated West Germany in the final. Maradona scored five goals in the campaign.
His two most famous moments ever, came against England in their 2-1 win in the quarter-finals. Maradona's two goals couldn't have been more different. They perfectly represent the man's entire career. The first was that famous 'Hand of God', where he seemed to head the ball into the net using his hand. The second was a masterpiece of football and was voted Best Goal of the Century in 2002 by Fifa. Here is the first one and here is the second.
In the next World Cup in 1990, Maradona was by no means at his best. He was carrying an ankle injury, yet he rallied his team and they still made it to the final, but lost to their previous finalists West Germany.
Although Maradona did play in World Cup 94 in USA, he was kicked out of the tournament after playing in two games, for failing a drugs test. He professed his innocence but the world knew by now that the legend was dependent on drugs. His retirement beckoned.
Cocaine on the Brain
No one knows when cocaine started to become a real problem for Diego Maradona, but it's thought he dabbled whilst in Argentina, then a bit more in Spain and finally, with the organised crime outfits in Naples in the eighties, it really became an issue. On top of drugs, Maradona was also at the centre of a row over an illegitimate son he had in Italy. He married the "love of his life" Claudia Villafane in 1989 and they had two daughters together. However, the scandal surrounding the illegitimate son, as well as many other alleged affairs, meant the pair divorced in 2004, but remained amicable friends afterwards.
When Maradona stopped playing, he tried his God-like hand at coaching and returned to his beloved home club, Boca Juniors. However that also ended in upset and in him having to leave earlier than he had hoped, due to disagreements between himself and the other staff.
So what has become of him now?
Maradona spent most the 2000s fighting his cocaine addiction. He spent many months in rehab clinics in Cuba amongst other places. In 2004 he suffered a severe heart-attack at only 44. He survived the attack, but then drink problems began too. He was in and out of hospital for the next few years. In May 2007 he went in front of Argentine TV claiming he had kicked every drug and he was completely clean.
A tortured genius is common in many areas of the arts but not always associated with sport. Diego Maradona is an exception in more ways than one. He was one of the greatest men to have ever put a football to his feet and he will forever remain that way, no matter what he did or did not do off the pitch.

Lindsay Lohan Mardi Gras Heist
Lindsay Lohan is caught on film stealing Mardi Gras beads.
Fat Tuesday is tomorrow and everyone's favorite kleptomaniac Lindsay Lohan has been reportedly caught on camera stealing Mardi Gras beads. Surveillance video reportedly shows LiLo enter a party super store wearing absolutely no jewelry. After 10 minutes in the party store, Lohan bolts out the front door with what looks like a rainbow around her neck.
It turns out Lindsay Lohan decided that for Fat Tuesday she reportedly needed to get some Mardi Gras beads. Of course she had the money in her purse to buy the $5 beads but why pay when you can steal…that's the motto Lindsay lives by. Word has it the party store will not be charging LiLo with anything as they feel sorry for the poor girl. They will however be selling the hilarious surveillance video to the highest bidder. I am sure that will fetch a pretty penny…way more than the Mardi Gras beads were worth.
We hope you enjoy Mardis Gras and Fat Tuesday Lindsay Lohan. Make sure you throw those reportedly stolen beads as hard as you can! You haven't done your job if you don't give someone a black eye. Look for the LiLo Mardi Gras beads heist video which will be released to the public soon!

KY Gov. Matt Bevin Signs Bill That Allows Religious Groups To Turn Away LGBT Students
Tony Perkins, president of the Christian conservative Family Research Council (FRC), wants to know whether it's "Burger King or Burger Queen?"
Perkins has joined other conservatives in condemning the fast-food chain's Proud Whooper – a limited time burger wrapped in a rainbow-colored paper which states "We are all the same inside."
"When Burger King says 'have it your way,' they aren't just talking about food," Perkins told his radio listeners. "Is it Burger King or Burger Queen? Customers in San Francisco aren't so sure after the chain's new Proud Whopper. Local stores unveiled the rainbow menu to coincide with LGBT week. Although nothing's different about the burger, executives hope the wrapper will make a statement. But even in liberal San Francisco, Time reports, some customers have a beef with the burgers. 'If that's what they're gonna do,' said one person, 'they won't [have] my business anymore.'"
"That's the beauty of the free market. If Burger King wants to cater to a fringe group at the expense of other customers, that's their choice. Just like it's Cracker Barrel's decision to support natural marriage and the celebrities who advocate it. The problem is those companies who say they believe in debate and then try to silence it. That's the biggest whopper of them all," he added.
Right Wing Watch noted that the "Burger Queen" reference was only used in the text version of Perkin's remarks posted on FRC's website.

U.S. lawmakers may not have been able to come up with an economic stimulus plan with bipartisan support, but a new effort to regulate hedge funds can already boast the support of at least one top Republican.
Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Carl Levin (D-Mich.) yesterday introduced a bill that would require hedge fund managers to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Hedge Fund Transparency Act would effectively overturn the 2006 federal appeals court decision Goldstein v. SEC, which struck down a 2005 SEC rule requiring hedge fund managers to register.
The proposal would also compel hedge fund managers to file an annual disclosure form, comply with the SEC's record-keeping standards and cooperate with its investigations.
"The problem is that hedge funds have gotten so big and are so entrenched in U.S. financial markets that their actions can now significantly impact market prices, damage other market participants and can even endanger the U.S. financial system and economy as a whole," Levin said.
"A major cause of the current crisis is a lack of transparency," Grassley, a frequent critic of hedge funds, added. "The wizards on Wall Street figured out a million clever ways to avoid the transparency sought by the securities regulations adopted during the 1930s."
Grassley introduced a similar bill two years ago and, along with Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), has been one of the SEC's fiercest antagonists on Capitol Hill, leading the Congressional probe of an SEC investigation of insider trading at hedge fund Pequot Capital Management.
Hedge fund registration has already won the support of several key members of President Barack Obama's economic team, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro.
Less enthusiastic, unsurprisingly, is the always talkative Phillip Goldstein, the named plaintiff in the case that ended the SEC's first effort to force hedge funds to register.
"Until the SEC responds in an effective manner to whistleblower complaints regarding fraud, what's the point of adding new rules and regulations," the Bulldog Investors founder told Bloomberg News, referring to the SEC's repeated failures to catch the alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme run by Bernard Madoff.

For me, it all started with Pokemon.
I grew up during the height of the pokemania and I was a pokefan myself. I remember seeing a huge line of people waiting to get into the Wizards of the Coast Store to buy pokemon cards (myself included). I was adament about collecting them. I traded at summer camp, on the bus, and "illegally" in the hallways of school. To cope with my nostalgia, I am currently playing the Pokemon Trading Card Game for Gameboy color.
The next phase I went through was Magic: The Gathering
I actually dueled with these babies and had created quite a formidable all swamp deck. I think I caught on a year after the main magic craze cuz there weren't too many people into it at my school. I ended up selling my rare cards in the school cafeteria for money to buy video games.
Then came Yu-Gi-Oh Cards
My God, I still have piles of these lying around my house. I'm sure I was like a lot of kids who had seen the tv show a couple times and then got sucked into the card game with the hopes of getting a blue eyes white dragon. I never realized how much I was into Yu-Gi-Oh until now. I even created my own board game (up to 3 players) that you could play using the cards. I even tried "to bring it back" in high school by dueling with a friend in front of everybody. But after the Pegasus storyline was completed, I lost interest.
Finally, there was something called Warhammer 40K
I bought em, painted em, and built a playing field with enough random materials to impress my elementary school arts and crafts teacher. Warhammer was going to dominate my life but it ended up being too much of an expensive hobby and I was forced to disband my motley bunch of orcs before ever tasting battle.
The Wizards of the Coast store had vanished from the mall.
I was heartbroken, where would I go now? Barnes and Noble was there to pick up the pieces when I got HEAVILY into Dungeons and Dragons. But I lost that sense of comradery one felt when going to a Wizards of the Coast Store. When that store closed, part of my childhood died along with it.
But life goes on. Now, I'm a Comic book junkie who's on a first name basis with the owners of the comic book shops in towns. I even founded a comic book club on campus and I hope to publish a comic book of my own. I'd like to think that the Wizards of the Coast store was part of my personal evolution and has made me the coolest closet geek that I am today.
The Wizards of the Coast Store
While growing up, Wizards of the Coast was always there for me with the latest fads

"former correctional facility located near downtown Nashville"
I live in Nashville and you actually can't get to this place anymore, they have armed guards blocking off the entrance
The guards turn you around immediately and will not even let you take a picture without filling out a contract in pain money like your movie producer something.
Looks like Disneyland.
I've been on several different video shoots on this location. The inside is in horrible disrepair. Its really unsafe now to go in.

So with this out on Wednesday, SFX.co.uk have an interview with Mike Johnson concerning the series: link
As much as I'm disappointed with the fact that it appears he'll always look like Cumberbatch in the whole thing, the writer seems to have really done his homework. The artists, too, seem to have done a pretty good job, look at the booster equipped DY-100, for example.
I'm not comfortable with the "evil for evil's sake" bit. Khan wanted power, yes, but I think he believed his motives were benevolent, that he deserved to rule for the greater good. "Space Seed" says that he didn't start wars of aggression and that there were no massacres under his rule. As for the "booster equipped DY-100," that's based on an illustration created for the Star Trek Chronology and later used in the Encyclopedia and in the set dressings for the 602 Club in ENT. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/File:DY_100_painting.jpg
About time somebody got back to basics. Who cares what Khan believed? Evil is evil, whether or not Khan THINKS he is evil does not change the fact THAT he is. And anyone who thinks Khan is such a good guy should really read Seeds of Dissent.
Well he does say: Basically he's saying that while Khan might think he's a good guy ruling for the greater good, that he's still a meglomaniac and still evil. He's trying to disabuse the whole "the guy's puppy died as a kid and therefore he was traumatized" stuff.
But the point is that, while Khan did evil, he didn't do it "for evil's sake." He didn't just go "Okay, I'll be the villain of the story." He did what he did for the sake of the greater good as he perceived it.
Based on the interview alone, I'm inclined to think he's just saying that Khan's just willing to do evil things and that's part of his personality, even if he believes himself to be justified. I just think you're perhaps blowing that one line about evil for evil's sake as meaning something it's not meant to mean in the context of the interview.
Which is pretty much being consistent about Khan, lets remember that for all the best of the tyrants stuff he was planning to take the Enterprise's senior officers and torture them to death in a decompression chamber while making the rest of them watch until they did his bidding and then when he got his ass kicked was planing to blow the whole ship up.
Of course, do you realize that refusing to see the world in anything but an utterly uncompromising view of black-vs-white, us-vs-them, makes you evil, right?
But a decent tyrant is still decent. If you had a choice between a Hitler who was not going to exterminate the Jews, and the Hitler we got, wouldn't you opt for the moderate one?
Is it an either or between those two? It's like how Stalin apologists love to claim dude defeated fascism. Okay, great. How many people wound up dead anyway?
I'm not debating morality here. I'm talking about characterization and the intelligence of the writing. Three-dimensional villains, characters who have comprehensible motivations and internal contradictions, are more interesting to read about than one-dimensional villains whose writers see them as simply "evil" and thus make no effort to understand or relate to. When I write villains, I try to get into their heads, to figure out how their choices and beliefs make sense to them and why they think what they're doing is right, even if their morality is totally twisted from my perspective. Seeing a character as "evil for evil's sake" seems distancing to me, like the speaker is looking at them from the outside and is uninterested in delving into such character complexities. I hope that's not what the writer meant by that line, but it's not an encouraging statement.
Name me a leader from history before the rise of democracy. They are all 'tyrants' to one extent or another, a leader who controlled their power base through the sometimes ruthless destruction of opponents: lauded national heroes like Elizabeth I of England, Louis XIV of France, Qin Shi Huang who united China, Salahadin who fought the crusaders, Richard Lionheart who retook Jerusalem, Louis IX of France and its most celebrated ruler, William the Conqueror of England, Henry V of England, etc.... Each did things morally objectionable, but equally each were 'decent tyrants', who brought prosperity, success or purpose to nations and empires in distress.
Well, the moment I start massacring innocent people because they're not genetically perfect, then you can call me evil. That being said: I hope at least that we're all in agreement that Khan's actions, while some of them may be explainable (i.e. doing what he did to save his crew), that doesn't make them justified. Explanation is not justification. Right?

"The challenge of reconstructing evangelism will not be an easy task. For the gospel to which evangelism invites persons is, by the standards of the Enlightenment, incredible; according to the logic of the market, it is cost-ineffective; measured by modern, liberal notions of the social, it is uncivil; by the standards of an aesthetics formed by the capitalist discipline of desire, it is repulsive; and by the chaplaincy standards of Christendom, it may prove to be neither useful nor helpful." …

They married while Robert was a naval officer in the pacific during World War II. He would go on to become the founder and C.E.O. of Queen Industries, which built a great deal of Star City.[1] At an early age, he bought his son a bow and arrow for christmas, mildly traumatizing young Oliver when he accidentally killed a rabbit.[2] Years later the family all went on safari together in Africa alongside Congo Bill as their guide, but Oliver refused to hunt any animals. His father encourage him to help as they were curbing the population, and not to be so scared all the time, but he relented and allowed Oliver to sit at their campsite. Suddenly lions attacked the group and killed Robert and Moira, leaving only Oliver and Congo Bill. Oliver was able to pick up his bow in self-defense to fight back, but his unwillingness and hesitation cost his parents their lives. To this day he still blames himself for their deaths.[1]

Wikipedia- definition of : QuickBooks: "QuickBooks is an accounting software product developed by Intuit, Inc. There are several different "flavors" of the software tailored to specific industries; however, the underlying program remains largely the same, the chief differences being industry customized pre-built reports, industry appropriate language (clients vs. customers, etc), and industry appropriate templates for invoices, P.O.'s, and estimates. For most tasks, QuickBooks doesn't require its users to understand double-entry book-keeping or standard accounting procedures. Most transactions are recorded using on-line screens that closely resemble paper based forms such as invoices or checks. The system is readily adaptable to many different industries where there is no significant need for something industry specific."

6. Safety: Safe boating must be observed at all times. Each contestant is required to wear a fastened (fully zipped and/or all clips fastened), U.S. Coast Guard approved, personal flotation device anytime the combustion engine is in operation during official tournament hours.

The driver must be seated in the driver's seat anytime the combustion engine is engaged in gear.

Competitors are allowed to leave the boat and seek shelter in bad weather, at which time no fishing may occur.
7. Permitted Fishing Methods: Only artificial lures may be used. Only one fishing rod per angler may be used at any one time. Additional rods may be in the boat and ready for use; however, each cast and retrieve must be completed before another cast is attempted or rod is used. Trolling with the combustion engine as a method of fishing is prohibited. All bass must be caught alive, in a conventional, sporting manner. All angling must be conducted from the boat. At no time may a contestant leave the boat to land a fish, or to make the boat more accessible to fishing waters. Bank fishing is not permissible.
8. Sportsmanship and Conduct: All contestants are required to follow high standards of sportsmanship, courtesy, safety and conservation. Examples of conduct not complying with those standards include, but are not limited to, the following:
? Consumption and/or possession of alcoholic beverages or any mind-altering substance during tournament hours extending through the weigh-in procedure;
? Any previous conviction, charge, arrest, or investigation for a felony, a crime involving moral turpitude, or a crime related to, arising out of, or involving any fishing tournament or event, except with full, prior written disclosure to the Tournament Director under oath and by affidavit of all facts and circumstances surrounding such conviction, charge, arrest, or investigation at least ten (10) days before the Bass Champs event being entered, and thereafter subject to the Tournament Directors sole and absolute discretion that such conviction, charge, arrest, or investigation does not result in the Contestants honesty, integrity, character or qualifications to enter the event being unreasonably questionable.
? Actions or words which reflect unfavorably upon efforts to promote safety, sportsmanship, and fair competition;
? Chemical substance abuse or addiction.
? Disqualification from Bass Champs tournaments or other fishing organizations that resulted from unexplained rule violations that result in a contestants honesty, integrity, character, and qualifications for entry into a Bass Champs event being questionable in the Tournament Directors sole and absolute discretion.
Upon review of the circumstances by tournament director, Bass Champs, Inc., and the Tournament Director shall have the right to refuse any application, or to deny a confirmed application, by returning the entry fee of a previously accepted application, or disqualifying a contestant. Bass Champs reserves the right to place an official observer in a contestant's boat at any time during competition hours.
9. Assistance: During hours of competition, contestants may not receive fishing information from non-competitors or participate in the practice of "hole sitting."

In the event of an emergency call 911 first and then contact tournament officials at 817-439-3274.
10. Boat and Horsepower Regulation: Each boat must have all required U.S. Coast Guard safety equipment. Boats must contain a properly aerated live well space to maintain alive a limit catch of bass. Maximum horsepower for all outboards used in tournament competition may not exceed the horsepower limitations as set by the U. S. Coast Guard in such vessel. Falsifying information on entry forms or altering the horsepower numbers on the motor or rating plate to conceal such limitations will be cause for disqualification from the tournament.
11. Permitted Fishing Locations: Contestants may fish anywhere on tournament waters accessible by boat, except areas designated as "off limits" or "no fishing" by state or federal officials, or within 50 yards of a competitor's boat which was first anchored (an anchored boat is a boat held in a stable position by a line attached to a weight with the trolling motor in the up position), or within 25 yards of a non-anchored competitor's boat unless otherwise agreed upon by the other tournament angler. The act of moving bass from one area of the lake to another confined area of the same lake at any time, whether or not during official practice days or competition days, is not permitted.
