Disney Purchases Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 Billion USD, Episode VII Set for 2015 Release

Disney will make Episodes 7, 8 and 9 as well
"Star Wars" will be making its way back to the big screen now that The Walt Disney Company has acquired Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion USD.
Disney said it is buying Lucasfilm Ltd. with cash and stock, and the deal includes Lucasfilm's high-tech production companies (Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound) and the rights to the "Indiana Jones" franchise.
Even though George Lucas, the creator of
"Star Wars"
and founder of Lucasfilm Ltd., said he was done making new versions of his mega popular epic space opera, he's going to allow Disney to bring "Star Wars" back to life.
Disney is currently working on a new "Star Wars" trilogy, beginning with "Episode 7." The new episode is due out in 2015, and Episodes 8 and 9 will shortly follow. According to Disney, the new trilogy will follow Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo beyond "Return of the Jedi," which was the third film in the original trilogy (but is chronologically the sixth film in the franchise).
"For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see 'Star Wars' passed from one generation to the next," said Lucas. "It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers. I've always believed that 'Star Wars' could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime."
Kathleen Kennedy, the current co-chairman of Lucasfilm, will become the president of the unit. She will also be executive producer for the new trilogy.
Kennedy has been working with Lucas and a team of writers to discuss the storyline for "Episode 7." Kennedy said it's essential to have Lucas present as a key advisor during the making of the next trilogy, and she even referred to him as "her Yoda." Lucas has provided his story lines for the new trilogy.
"I always said I wasn't going to do any more and that's true, because I'm not going to do any more, but that doesn't mean I'm unwilling to turn it over to Kathy to do more," said Lucas.
Lucas has received quite a bit of criticism in the recent past due to his decisions involving "Star Wars." Despite creating the hugely popular original trilogy in the 1970s and 80s, he quickly became the bad guy when
the second trilogy
was released. Many fans disliked the new story line, which took place prior to the original trilogy. Fans also hated new characters, such as Jar Jar Binks.
To make matters worse, Lucas
changed some key details in the original trilogy
(such as the scene where Greedo takes the first shot at Han Solo in a bar) and released 3D versions of the movies earlier this year, marking Lucas as a "sell out."
"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

Fahamu has a vision of the world where people organise to emancipate themselves from all forms of oppression, recognise their social responsibilities, respect each other's differences, and realise their full potential.
Fahamu strengthens and nurtures the movement for social justice in Africa by:
Generating knowledge to serve activism, bridging the gap between theory and practice – Tuliwaza
Creating learning for, by and across movements – Adilisha
Amplifying Africa-centred voices, perspectives and solutions in policy and decision-making at all levels – Utetezi
Creating platforms for analysis and debate – Pambazuka
The outcome of our work in Africa over the next five years (2010-2015) will be increased democratization of political, social and economic spaces creating meaningful change based on a people-centred progressive agenda.
During 2010-2015, Fahamu aims to strengthen social justice movements' ability to:
Articulate and implement people and Africa-centred solutions through diverse, innovative and effective strategies and tactics.
Actively participate in local, national, continental and global processes as significant actors for change.
Develop self-sustaining and self-determining movements.
Locate themselves within an African context, with respect to one another and multiple stakeholders, both historically and contemporarily.
Create alternative frameworks and realities for progressive change.
Fahamu is distinctively placed as a pan-African organisation supporting and working collaboratively with social movements over the long term. Rather than imposing generic solutions to address the needs of and to strengthen movements, Fahamu is committed to ensuring that our interventions are relevant, timely and significant to the movements we serve.
Our approach respects the collective leadership, self-determination and self-sustainability of our partners. Further, Fahamu seeks to provide diverse and innovative approaches, tactics and resources to the social movements that we work with. With our expertise, access to information and networks, we seek to enhance the access of transformative social movements to each other as well as to the processes, knowledge, skills, experience and platforms to strengthen their work.
Fahamu comprises a small core of highly skilled and experienced staff based in Nairobi, Kenya; Cape Town, South Africa; Dakar, Senegal and Oxford, UK.

PATH and China National Biotec Group develop Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine in China with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Singapore: PATH, a global health nonprofit organization, and China National Biotec Group, a leading vaccine manufacturer in China, has achieved prequalification by World Health Organization (WHO) for a vaccine to protect children against Japanese encephalitis (JE).
The SA 14-14-2 live, attenuated JE vaccine is the first JE vaccine to be prequalified for use in children by WHO. This milestone also marks the first time a Chinese vaccine manufacturer has achieved WHO prequalification. The vaccine is manufactured by Chengdu Institute of Biological Products, a subsidiary of CNBG.
With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, PATH led a series of pivotal clinical trials to establish the immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine in at-risk children and provided technical and financial support to help CDIBP meet the international manufacturing standards required for WHO prequalification.
"This milestone brings the world within reach of an audacious goal: the elimination of a devastating disease through expanded access to an affordable and lifesaving vaccine," said Mr Steve Davis, PATH president and CEO. "Our groundbreaking collaboration with leading Chinese partners also helped lay the foundation for reshaping global vaccine supply, pricing, and accessibility through increased competition. This milestone signals China's rising importance as a global supplier of high-quality vaccines for the most vulnerable children in the world."
WHO prequalification is a critical step in expanding access to this lifesaving vaccine. The WHO decision allows United Nations' procurement agencies to purchase the vaccine and serves as an endorsement of quality for countries interested in adopting it. Prequalification also opens the door for the vaccine's inclusion in the GAVI Alliance portfolio and for essential vaccine financing for low-resource countries.

Screw it.
In an attempt to find better ways to occupy my time I will not use a computer until December 1. Yeah, yeah, nobody cares, but this is my ranting page and I'll spew crap till I die. I'm not saying computers are bad, I mean I like looking at the same sites over and over, day in day out, but it just doesn't cut it anymore. I've been neglecting some books I'd like to read. I'd especially like to take the time to fully comprehend and digest Walden (and I thought only code can be obfuscated, talk about a random discourse jeez!) So whatever. I'll just yank the power plug out and neatly stow away the keyboard/mouse. Now.....what to do? Ohh and no TV. That too is becoming evily monotionous.

Where I stayed
Not only were we late getting into Christchurch, but the immigration procedures here are the strictest we have encountered anywhere on our travels (with the exception of Sierra Leone, but that was something else entirely!). The customs and immigration people were not so much concerned with global terrorism but with the importation of vegetables and other ecological issues. The first thing we had to do was to complete the immigration cards where we had to list EVERY item of food, plant or animal material we were carrying (including walking boots used during the last 28 days!). As it was obvious that the NZ took this all very seriously, we declared everything, or so we thought!!
We arrived in Christchurch in the late afternoon and picked up the shuttle-bus into the city centre. As there were only three of us on the bus, the driver treated us to a running commentary on what to do and where to go in the city. During the drive we pass through the more select areas of the city and were very impressed with all the houses we saw along the way. The town itself is very pretty and reminded us of Cambridge (even to the extent of the punts on the river!) in fact Christchurch is often described as the most English of New Zealand's towns. Even on the drive in to town we were saying to each other that this is somewhere we might consider living.
We had decided to stay at Stonehurst, which is sort of a combination of motel/hostel/apartments and had arranged a studio, complete with mini-kitchen for 4 nights at NZ $80 p.n
The next few days were really spent sorting out the rental of a campervan for our two month road trip around New Zealand. Campervans are a very popular over here and there is a bewildering array of choices, from very small and very cheap ($15 p.n.) to extremely luxurious and expensive$175 p.n.) Being the middle of winter, prices are very reasonable at this time of year as apparently very few people relish the thought of living in the back of a van in sub zero temperatures! After a couple of days we (by we, I mean Carolyn), do a deal with Adventure Campervans for a 2 berth Fiat for 55 days @ $35 p.n.
Having sorted out the van we spend some time having a look around Christchurch, doing some shopping for stores for our trip. The shops and restaurants in Christchurch are great and seem to offer a greater variety than those in Australia and at prices much, much lower. There are masses of shops selling cold weather gear made from Merino wool and Possum fur, ranging from hats, gloves and fleeces to thermal underwear and sweaters (we even saw Merino boxer shorts - the lady in the shops was keen to point out how good they felt next to the skin!!).
Eventually it is time to pick up the Campervan and we head off first to fill up with diesel and then to the supermarket to stock up on food for the first few days of the trip.
Our intention is to spend roughly equal amounts of time in the South and North Islands and whilst in the South to head south to the lakes and then down to Queenstown and back up the West coast before crossing on the ferry to the North island
Of course one of the problems of parking on a hillside, by the sea, in the middle of winter is that it is bloody cold and this apparently was one of the coldest nights of the year so far and, it was also very windy. The upshot of all this is that we identified the shortcoming of the van during that first night as the wind rocked it from side to side we couldn't help but notice the gaps in the doors etc. And the resulting drafts. The electrics also turned out to be a bit dodgy and someone had spilt some milk on the carpets and we had not noticed the smell of rancid milk until the van heated up
We phoned the van rental people the next morning who told us to bring it back the next morning to exchange for a different van. The rental people were really great and had already sorted out a new van for us to look at. This one was much larger (4/6 berth), virtually brand new and came with just about everything you could possible want, shower, hob, microwave, refrigerator, two double beds and, even a DVD player and TV! This truly was the lap of luxury and to top it all, Carolyn put her negotiating skills to use once again and did a deal for an additional NZ$ 200 for the whole trip or about 1.75 sterling per night!
After switching over our gear to the new van and playing with the manager's pet Rottweiler for a while (a very big, strong and thankfully friendly dog!), we head off on our way down south to spend the night at a town called Geraldine.

But it's not possible, instead the reply is "You can spend days, or even months on this thing I could try within an hour or so (though maybe later in the project, when more stuff is there). And then present it to me/people and we might consider it. Or throw it away". I doubt anyone would want to spend months on a thing that might get thrown away in a minute.
The situation wouldn't be much different if the languages and frameworks were different. You're still going to have to learn them and that's going to take time. On top of that it's counter productive to just stop what you're doing and start making changes based on request. If you want to make changes, fork the code. If you don't know how, learn how. If it takes months, so be it, at least then you'll have a better understanding of the code and god forbid you help at that point.
You can also open up photoshop and make visual changes yourself.
I think I can agree with most of that (with small differences I won't bother going into). What irks me the most, I suppose, is the very harsh approach to anything that's thrown in. It kind of... keeps me down and often unmotivated to offer anything new or else, because I know it will be shot down anyway, without me really knowing why.
Maybe it's my bad understanding, maybe trythil's over-technicality, probably both, but it just makes the dialogue here very tough. He sees everything I offer as pointless, because he has some aim, and that aim can be really well-thought and good, I can see loads of work behind it. But I can't get the grasp of this aim, because he can't explain it, he always digresses into this or that technical stuff where I stop caring instead:
I just... don't know how to REALLY help with this project. I know I can't help with this timewise, with helping with 3 cons a year, managing a website and going to work. Forking is something unmanageable for me at this moment. But I DO want to help... Maybe that Photoshop work? But the fact that my ideas aren't even considered and are taken as an attack against...
Gah, I'll just go sleep instead. Oyasumi~n...

The senior thesis: Quintessentially Princeton
Inspired by learning experiences both in and out of the classroom — around campus and across the globe — all Princeton undergraduates tackle a monumental academic challenge by completing a senior thesis.
The thesis, considered the capstone of Princeton students' academic journey, is an independent work that requires seniors to pursue original research and scholarship under the guidance of faculty advisers.
This story is part of a series of four profiles of current seniors who are finding similar opportunities for engagement in their inspiring intellectual pursuits.

Identifying new norms in fertility treatment experiences
Posted April 9, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton University sociology major Lauren Brachman's senior thesis offers a modern analysis of an age-old question: Where do babies come from?
Brachman explored patients and clinicians' experience with in vitro fertilization (IVF), in which embryos are formed outside the body and then transferred into a woman's uterus. Brachman, who was conceived through IVF, spent more than 90 days over the last summer and winter break at a California fertility clinic, observing and conducting interviews. In her thesis, she identified new norms that have emerged since the first IVF clinics opened in the 1980s, as access to the practice has expanded and as the culture around it has changed.
Brachman's fieldwork at a fertility clinic in California, made up of both patient-clinician observation and interviews, serves as the basis for her thesis. (Photo courtesy of Lauren Brachman)
"Many people (sociologists) enter clinics, and their projects are to share all the pain and struggles that happen there. I recognized that history, but I was more intrigued by what sociologists would call alterity — the alternative possibilities that exist in a space of deviance" from the normal pathway to pregnancy, Brachman said.
Brachman found her topic during her junior year, when she took the class "Born in the USA: Culture and Reproduction in Modern America" with Associate Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs Elizabeth Mitchell Armstrong. For the first class assignment, students had to talk to their parents about their birth stories.
"When I asked my parents to recount their stories, three years of sociology kicked in. I interviewed them separately and noticed similar themes in the narratives they were telling," Brachman said. "I thought it would be interesting to enter a clinic and talk to other patients."
Brachman's thesis was extraordinarily ambitious in scope and achievement, from the amount of participant observation to how the background reading informed the conclusions, said Armstrong, who became Brachman's thesis adviser.
"Lauren is a sociologist through and through; one of the reasons this thesis is a standout is because Lauren has excelled at every step of the thesis project," Armstrong said. "She struck gold in her research site and she has been mining that lucky strike with tremendous skill, devotion and care ever since."
Brachman conducted her fieldwork at the clinic where her parents received care to conceive her older sister. She interviewed 13 clinicians, including physicians, IVF nurse coordinators, procedure room nurses and embryologists. Among the 22 patients she interviewed were intended parents (including straight and lesbian couples), ovum donors, gestational carriers and patients undergoing cryopreservation to preserve their genetic material for future use. In addition, Brachman observed consultations and medical procedures.
Brachman's trips to California for research and transcriptions of her interview and observation recordings were funded by an Adel Mahmoud Global Health Scholars Program fellowship. In addition to studying sociology, Brachman is pursuing two certificates, in gender and sexuality studies and global health and health policy.
An assignment for the class "Born in the USA: Culture and Reproduction in Modern America," taught by Armstrong (left), is the inspiration for Brachman's thesis. (Photo by Denise Applewhite)
Her thesis examines four main issues: men's roles in the clinic; the decision to tell others about undergoing IVF; spirituality and other ways in which people make meaning of the process; and an analysis of the people's responses to the question, "Where do babies come from?"
Brachman identified multiple roles that men play in the clinic: as general support to their partners; as medical support, conducting research at home; as patients, when the male partner is the partial or whole source of infertility; and as expectant fathers.
"Men nickname their embryos or the actual follicles in an ovary. They're talking about potential birthdays and names and narratives and how they're going to tell their children" about the pregnancy, Brachman said. "A lot of that is facilitated through these new medical technologies, like ultrasounds. For instance, an intended father will buy a home Doppler, because he's had so much experience with ultrasound in the clinic. That happened with one patient, and his partner told me, 'Whenever he doesn't feel connected to the baby, I can tell he's going to bring it out.'"
Brachman noted that patients she spoke to had a strong drive to share information about their experiences and their specific care, and the topic of IVF was prevalent in the media they consumed and among their friends and co-workers.
Brachman said she was surprised to discover that spirituality played a large role in the health care providers' perception of their work. "When you're an embryologist and you're telling me that babies come from God, there's very interesting cultural work being done," Brachman said.
She found that IVF patients expressed their spirituality in nuanced ways. "Patients would say babies come from God, but they didn't feel the same way about embryos produced through IVF," she said. "A lot of things are defined by this potential imagined child or outcome. … When a baby is not in play, things are much more easily dismissed."
Brachman said she felt compelled to address her personal relationship to the subject in her thesis.
"I've had a super-positive experience with IVF — I exist!" she said. "It would be wrong if I didn't say that influenced the questions I asked and how I understood people. … That's one of the things I like about sociology and anthropology. They don't shy away from the idea that the researcher has perspectives or bias, but that doesn't say the work is not worthwhile."
After graduation, Brachman, who is from Westfield, N.J., will be working at a New Jersey fertility clinic — the one at which she was conceived — doing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer community outreach and support, as well as supporting the clinic's administrative and medical functions. She plans to pursue graduate school in social work or public health, or both, and a career in marriage and family counseling and therapy.


text: I have spent the majority of the day cleaning and re-organizing my sewing room. I had put it all in order in July when I started my fabric diet. I have not been very good about putting things away when I am done with them and not putting fabrics back on the shelves when I am done auditioning them for use. I am sorting out fabrics that will go to Goodwill and some for a PIF here on the board. I have done well since July of not impulse buying fabrics and I really want to continue this practice. I am dedicated to getting some projects started and finished this year. I am going to knock things off my bucket list. I have too many different quilt blocks and techniques that I want to try. I've decided that I don't have to make a quilt or even a wallhanging. I am going to play with making one of each of the blocks or techniques that I want to try and that will help me decide if I will even enjoy making a complete project using those blocks or techniques. I just want this to be a year of finishing things. I hate to have things just hanging out, waiting to be finished. I am determined that this is the year that I will be making a quilt for myself. I have the fabrics and the pattern; have had them for almost 2 years. I think it is my turn!!!

Good Question: Should Schools Teach Handwriting?
SPOKANE, Wash. - It's one of the basic three of education: reading, writing and arithmetic. But, with the ever-increasing use of computers, many school districts are writing off handwriting altogether. Should schools teach handwriting?
In Mrs. Miller's 3rd grade class at St. Charles School, the handwriting is on the wall - and, on the paper. And, nearly all of that writing is in cursive.
"It's fun because adults get to do it and you get to learn how to do it," says Callie Babin, who is practicing her lower and upper-case letters.
What these kids are learning seems familiar to most of us; but, they're learning something fewer and fewer kids across the country will ever learn. Districts across the country are making the switch from handwriting lessons to keyboarding classes, leaving cursive in the dust. Spokane Public Schools and Central Valley Schools still have cursive writing in their curricula, beginning in the 2nd grade. But, a move to change that in districts across the country has some teachers and parents concerned.
"They're going to need to sign their names for legal purposes as an adult," says 3rd grader teacher Alicia Miller. "They're going to need to read it. If their college professor is writing in cursive, they still need to be able to write some words and read them."
But, why use up valuable class time teaching handwriting? It's not graded on standardized tests, it takes longer and, really, who's writing things out by hand these days anyway?
Linda Schneider hopes everyone is. In another classroom across town, the artist teaches calligraphy to future penmen (actually, the class was all penwomen) at Spokane Art Supply Too. Schneider is concerned about the art form, sure, but she also points out what else kids learn when they learn to write.
"Just the hand-eye coordination and creativity," Schneider says. "In the schools, if you take that out, that's part of the development of the right side of the brain."
Schneider makes a valid point. Studies show people better retain information if they write it rather than type it. Yes, it takes more time, but that information is better absorbed. Schneider also worries about documents from our past being rendered useless if we can't understand what they say.
"The problem is, in the children, if we don't know how to write it, they won't know how to read it," Schneider says. "And if they can't read it, they won't be able to read the documents our founding fathers wrote. It will become like a foreign language.")
The 3rd graders will get through St. Charles with their cursive skills perfected. Schneider's students will be able to make beautiful cards and letters for their families. But, the debate over whether or not this art form should be lost forever is nowhere near being erased for good.
(side note: Linda Schneider already wrote me a thank-you note for the interview... and, it was the most beautifully-written note I've ever received!)

A.J. Foyt's new driver, Takuma Sato, qualifies second for best start ever in Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, FL March 23, 2013—The most unlikely pairing in the IZOD IndyCar Series paddock served notice today.
They were the only two drivers in the Firestone Fast Six to break the 105-mph barrier with Power setting a new track record with his 1:01.2 timed lap. Sato's best lap was three tenths of a second shy of the record and nearly two tenths quicker than Simona de Silvestro's Chevrolet who qualified third for her career best start. Rounding out the top six were James Hinchcliffe (Chevrolet), Helio Castroneves (Chevrolet) and rookie Tristan Vautier (Honda) who won the Firestone Indy Lights title last year.
"It's really good—it's made the whole team really motivated," said Sato. "The team obviously worked really hard over the course of the winter test program. We came here with reasonable balance and for qualifying we trimmed it really well. First segment, second segment, and third segment –we were all p-2. That was really a perfect result for the team and I was really pleased to get it done."
The effort marked the second straight street race that the AJ Foyt Racing team qualified second, with Mike Conway doing so last year in Baltimore. In that race Conway started 12th however, because the team was subjected to a 10-spot grid penalty because of an unapproved engine change.
When Sato was signed by Foyt's team, there were some questions raised about a perceived communication gap which Sato addressed today, saying, "I don't think we have a problem of 'Lost in Translation.' Yes, the team is based in Houston, Texas and I come from Japan but we all communicate very well. The mechanics are working flat out and are full of energy. The whole team is really pumped up, and I feel really happy and proud to be a part of AJ Foyt Racing."
Team Director Larry Foyt was pleased with the team's effort, noting, "I'm very happy – it's awesome to start the season like this. It shows that all the hard work is paying off and, that we, as a team, are coming together and jelling. So far it's a great fit and hopefully we'll get a good result tomorrow."
In two winter testing sessions, Sato showed speed posting the quickest time in a private 13-car test in Sebring, Fla. At the open test in Birmingham, Ala., he was fifth quickest. In yesterday's practice here, Sato was fifth quickest overall but in today's morning practice, he was quickest of the 25 cars.
Team owner A.J. Foyt, who missed the open test due to a severe bout of sciatica, did come to St. Petersburg. Although he received a nerve block procedure in Houston a week ago, he was still hurting with the nerve pain. Sato offered the services of his physio, Dr. Take Komatsu who practices acupuncture. Foyt received a treatment this morning which he said helped.
After qualifying, Foyt was feeling even better—but that was due to Sato's quick run.
"We tested with Takuma, we know he's fast, he's been fast with other people so we just want to give him the best car we can," said A.J. Foyt. "We're proud of what he did today. It was pretty good."
Asked about Foyt's reaction, Sato said, "I think I made him smile today and I hope he continues to smile tomorrow."
With over 500 ABC Supply guests in attendance tomorrow, Sato will have a sea of red, white and blue-clad fans cheering for him and the No. 14 car. The series opener will be televised live on the NBC Sports Network with the coverage starting at 12 noon ET.

Rogue bludger
Redirected from Rogue Bludger
this wiki
- "Harry's got himself a rogue Bludger!"
- —Hagrid
The house-elf Dobby tampered with a Bludger during the 1992–1993 school year. Its purpose was to injure Harry Potter, with the hope that he would be sent home from Hogwarts; the serpent of Slytherin inside the Chamber of Secrets was active and petrifying students at the time. The Bludger caused the Gryffindor Beaters Fred and George Weasley to protect Harry and not watch out for the rest of the team, until Harry insisted they leave him to deal with the bludger himself. The Bludger succeeded in breaking Harry's arm, but Harry also succeeded in catching the Golden Snitch, thus winning the Gryffindor vs Slytherin Quidditch match, but resulting in him letting go of his Nimbus 2000 and falling on the sandy ground in the middle area due to his broken arm.
After the game was over, Fred and George struggled to stuff the Bludger back into its crate, as it was still putting up a 'terrific fight.' Gilderoy Lockhart later attempted to fix Harry's broken arm but instead made his bones disappear. Dobby later revealed to Harry in the Hospital Wing that he was the one who tampered with the Bludger, and apologised for setting it on Harry, which contradicted Harry's earlier theory of Draco Malfoy being the culprit.
Behind the scenesEdit
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the Gryffindor Keeper Oliver Wood's broomstick is broken off on the shaft by the rogue Bludger as only as he and Harry inform each other of the warning signs of the Bludger. Shocked and concerned about the Bludger's behaviour, Hermione Granger gets Ron Weasley, Rubeus Hagrid, and the rest of the crowd to leave their seats, runs to the middle of the stadium where Harry has fallen with Ron and Hagrid, and destroys the Bludger by using the spell called Finite Incantatem right after the game, when the Bludger continues its assault on him on the ground.

Wow, this is my first entry. I feel enlightened already :)
Well, it is yet another weekend for me without my car. It has been in the shop now for two weeks. Being trapped in my house forces me to concentrate on code even harder.
Today I began working on some skeleton code for a simple
filesystem for BSD. Right now it doesn't do much, but there
are greater plans afoot! It is not a file storing file
system, but rather a proc style file
system concept.
A month or so ago I wrote a quick and dirty language that had a pretty impressive symbol table system. my hopes and dreams are to integrate that language with this filesystem. essentially what this would give you is a programming environment which could be debugged and or interacted with from an outside process via a simple file system interface. Imagine this senario:
The Following lines of code could be executed by the mangle interpreter (The little language I mentioned earlier).
def string mystring;Now, at the same time, a seperate process inspects the programs symbol table via the file system:
mystring="Hello World!";
# cd /mangle/$MANGLE_PID/symboltable/Now, returning back to the mangle interpreter, the session continues without a burp:
# ls
# cat mystring
Hello World!
# echo "Smello World" > mystring
# cat mystring
Smello World
print mystring; #the program prints out "Smello World"Now back to the file system, we see the new changes:
undef mystring;
def number foo;
def ref bar;
foo = 5;
bar -> foo;
# ls -l /mangle/$MANGLE_PID/symboltable/
rw-r---- root wheel foo
rw-r---- root wheel bar
# cat foo
# cat bar
This is how pathetic I am, I really have nothing better to do with my time. I actually love this stuff. Needless to say, I am still single.

...and Transmitting Threat to Former Employer's Computer System
Gregory A. White, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, announced today that a federal grand jury in Cleveland, Ohio, returned an two count indictment charging Richard Benimeli, age 55, of 6171 9th Avenue Circle, Bradenton, Florida, with one count of intentionally causing damage to a protected computer system and one count of transmitting threatening interstate communications.
Count One of the indictment charges that between January 2, 2006, and January 23, 2006, Richard Benimeli, a computer consultant formerly under contract with Storefront Systems and Services, Inc. ("SSS"), of North Canton, Ohio, knowingly transmitted and caused the transmission of certain computer codes, commands and information directed the computer system owned and operated by SSS, intentionally causing damage to said computer including impairing employees and authorized users from accessing the programs and data therein, and causing monetary damages in the form of lost revenue and repair costs exceeding $5,000.
Count Two of the indictment charges that Between December 28, 2005, and January 23, 2006, with the intent to extort money or other things of value from SSS, Richard Benimeli knowingly transmitted in interstate or foreign commerce communications containing a threat to injure the property of another person, firm, association or corporation.
The indictment charges that Benimeli was employed by SSS as a computer consultant from January 2004 through December 2005, and that Benimeli's duties included creating a software program called AcceSSS which SSS used to manage client data and business operations. SSS is located in North Canton, Ohio, and operates a call center which handles maintenance requests by large commercial clients such as Lowes and Payless Shoe Stores.
The indictment further charges that in 2005, Benimeli demanded to be paid 20% of the value of SSS in consideration for his past services. When SSS refused, on January 2, 2006, Benimeli remotely accessed the SSS computer system and transmitted codes, commands and instructions to the computer effectively preventing employees and authorized users from accessing the computer system and the programs and data therein. The indictment further charges that after SSS told Benimeli it would meet his monetary demands, Benimeli restored employees access to the computer system on January 3, 2006. However, when Benimeli's demands had not been met by January 13, 2006, the indictment charges that he once again remotely accessed the SSS computer system and changed all of the passwords thereby preventing employees and authorized users from accessing the system, causing lost revenue and repair costs exceeding $5,000.
According to Court records, a criminal complaint was filed against Benimeli in U.S. District Court in Akron, Ohio, on January 12, 2006. He was arrested by agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Florida on January 23, 2006, and released on bond following his initial appearance.
If convicted, the defendant's sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant's prior criminal record, if any, the defendant's role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert W. Kern, Cybercrimes Coordinator for the Cleveland U.S. Attorney's Office, following an investigation by the Canton Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Madison residents check in with family on East Coast
Scientists in Madison study storm
MADISON, Wis. - Post-tropical storm Sandy doesn't have to be hitting Madison for people in the area to feel the effects.
Sandy has many people dialing up friends and family on the East Coast, checking in as the storm makes landfall.
Tom and Kay Weidholz are no strangers to different area codes. Three of their seven children live in other states to the east, and they've been touching base with them since the storm traveled up the coast.
On the phone with their daughter from New Jersey, they talked over the conditions and how long the electricity would be out. She told her parents about the gallons upon gallons of water they have stocked up and the propane stove she's ready to fire up.
"If they were not prepared, I would be worried. If it were something that came on suddenly -- but they've had plenty of time to prepare for this," Kay Weidholz said.
However, as Kay Weidholz and her husband watched the news and stared at the pictures of the already flooded streets and high-speed winds whipping through trees, they said they hope their confidence in their children prevails.
Oliver Pentinmaki was without electricity in Boston when he talked to the WISC-TV newsroom over Skype. He just moved from Madison to Boston about six months ago, but he doesn't regret switching from the blizzard conditions to this storm.
"This is exciting for me," Pentinmaki said.
Pentinmaki is about eight miles away from the Massachusetts coastline, but he said beach erosion is expected to be a significant issue. Waves are supposed to reach around 25 feet there. High winds rip through the trees in Pentinmaki's backyard.
"The strongest winds you'd see in a Midwest thunderstorm, but just relentless. It just hasn't stopped," Pentinmaki said.
Pentinmaki said he and his fiancee didn't prepare as much as others, but he thinks the infrastructure is in place to protect him and others during this storm.
"We probably have about five gallons of water standing by," Pentinmaki said. "We also have our propane stove at the ready, so we can heat food if need be."
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, scientists with the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies filled a small room they call "the cave." Colorful images played across screens in front of the crowd as they studied Sandy.
"It's kind of an unprecedented event unfolding here," Derrick Herndon, with CIMSS, told the crowd.
Advisories reached from Bermuda up to Lake Michigan. Meteorologists said they are seeing wind gusts exceeding 80 mph, heavy rains, potentially record-breaking surges and even blizzard warnings. Scientists are also noting the acceleration and size of the storm.
"It's a very large, powerful low-pressure system that covers 1,000 miles," Herndon said.
CIMSS also discussed the almost eerie accuracy of the forecasts of Sandy's path, with many predicting the direction of the storm despite its unusual movement.

Dear Editor
January 2, 2014
Dear Editor,
One of the main reasons I ran for school board was to bring attention to the neglected and deplorable conditions of our Culver City School Natatorium swimming pool which has been shuttered since 1991.
Although I lost the election, I succeeded in making most Culver City residents aware that it doesn't make common sense to spend $10.7 million to demolish "our school pool" and replace it with a multipurpose facility that would be used to accommodate only 80 students.
In contrast, the estimated cost to "fix our school pool" and refurbish the natatorium building that could be used by 6,500 students is around $3 million.
The Natatorium is the poster child of the waste and neglect that has happened to our Culver City school district. In addition, all our school sites including Robert Frost auditorium are in need of capital facilities improvements.
In response to fixing these facilities, the school district is planning to float a $69 million general obligation bond that would be put before the voters in the next June primary ballot of 2014.
The school district has been working on a DRAFT of a Facilities Master Plan which incorporates the "Needs Assessment Plan" for our district which was prepared by Balfor Beatty Construction.
Unfortunately, the DRAFT of the Masters Facility Plan does not include the option of "fixing our Natatorium School pool". Instead, it is a glossed over version of Balfor Beatty's plan to: "demolish, Backfill and Recompact pool areas, Removal of existing pools (bottom, walls, and deck)".
Those words were not included in the Draft Master Facilities Plan even though the current Master Facility Draft would amount to the same thing- the demolition and destruction of "our school pool."
In regards to the Natatorium, I believe the Master Facilities Draft Plan is disingenuous and violates the principal of transparency that is so important in gaining the trust of our voters.
Although a general obligation bond is necessary for the improvement of our school facilities, I do not believe the voters will support a bond that includes wasteful spending and no common sense in regards to spending $10.7 million to demolish the Natatorium School pool that could serve 6,500 students and only cost $3 million to fix.
I would urge the school district to include "fixing our school pool" in any survey done to gauge the support of voters who will ultimately decide on whether or not to support a school bond.

The Cotsen Children's Library will host a "Night Tree" celebration, allowing children to decorate trees on the Princeton campus with food for animals, at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13.
The celebration, named for the picture book by Eve Bunting, focuses on wildlife sustenance. Pam Newitt of the environmental education group Nature By the Yard will discuss the winter diet of backyard and woodland animals. She also will read from picture books, including "Night Tree," that describe the special traditions some families have for feeding animals through the coldest months.
Parents and children then will create edible offerings for the birds and other wild animals living in their backyards or nearby woods. At the end of the evening, families will decorate trees on campus with their creations.
The event is free for families with children age 5 or older. Attendees are asked to register by Friday, Dec. 12, and to contribute seeds, dried fruit, popcorn or berries for the workshop. The children's library is located in Firestone Library.

I am concerned that the atmega328p datasheet provides (as far as I can tell) no data on the speed of the analog comparator, so there is no telling whether it is fast enough for this application.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuch Hagel spoke at the Shangri-La Dialogue (Asia Security Summit) in Singapore on May 31, 2014. He discussed resolving maritime disputes, building up regional architecture, and strengthening the U.S. military's partnerships with other defense forces. The conference is organized by International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).
Today, I want to highlight four broad security priorities that the United States, as a Pacific power, is advancing in partnership with friends and allies throughout the Asia-Pacific:
- First, encouraging the peaceful resolution of disputes; upholding principles including the freedom of navigation; and standing firm against coercion, intimidation, and aggression;
- Second, building a cooperative regional architecture based on international rules and norms;
- Third, enhancing the capabilities of our allies and partners to provide security for themselves and the region; and,
- Fourth, strengthening our own regional defense capabilities.
One of the most critical tests facing the region is whether nations will choose to resolve disputes through diplomacy and well-established international rules and norms…or through intimidation and coercion. Nowhere is this more evident than in the South China Sea, the beating heart of the Asia-Pacific and a crossroads for the global economy.
China has called the South China Sea "a sea of peace, friendship, and cooperation." And that's what it should be.
But in recent months, China has undertaken destabilizing, unilateral actions asserting its claims in the South China Sea. It has restricted access to Scarborough Reef, put pressure on the long-standing Philippine presence at the Second Thomas Shoal, begun land reclamation activities at multiple locations, and moved an oil rig into disputed waters near the Paracel Islands.
The United States has been clear and consistent. We take no position on competing territorial claims. But we firmly oppose any nation's use of intimidation, coercion, or the threat of force to assert those claims.
We also oppose any effort – by any nation – to restrict overflight or freedom of navigation – whether from military or civilian vessels, from countries big or small. The United States will not look the other way when fundamental principles of the international order are being challenged.
We will uphold those principles. We made clear last November that the U.S. military would not abide by China's unilateral declaration of an Air Defense Identification Zone in the East China Sea, including over the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands. And as President Obama clearly stated in Japan last month, the Senkaku Islands are under the mutual defense treaty with Japan.
All nations of the region, including China, have a choice: to unite, and recommit to a stable regional order, or to walk away from that commitment and risk the peace and security that have benefitted millions of people throughout the Asia-Pacific, and billions around the world.
The United States will support efforts by any nation to lower tensions and peacefully resolve disputes in accordance with international law.
We all know that cooperation is possible. Last month, 21 nations signed the Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea – an important naval safety protocol. ASEAN and China are negotiating a Code of Conduct for the South China Sea – and the United States encourages its early conclusion. Nations of the region have also agreed to joint energy exploration; this month, the Philippines and Indonesia resolved a longstanding maritime boundary dispute; and this week, Taiwan and the Philippines agreed to sign a new fisheries agreement.
China, too, has agreed to third-party dispute resolution in the World Trade Organization; peacefully resolved a maritime boundary dispute with Vietnam in 2000; and signed ASEAN's Treaty of Amity and Cooperation.
For all our nations, the choices are clear, and the stakes are high. These stakes are not just about the sovereignty of rocky shoals and island reefs, or even the natural resources that surround them and lie beneath them. They are about sustaining the Asia-Pacific's rules-based order, which has enabled the people of this region to strengthen their security, allowing for progress and prosperity. That is the order the United States – working with our partners and allies – that is the order that has helped underwrite since the end of World War II. And it is the order we will continue to support – around the world, and here in the Asia-Pacific.
This rules-based order requires a strong, cooperative regional security architecture.

The Cadiz Community Arts Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit community arts center. We are not a collecting museum, but focus on bringing quality art, in all its forms, to the community. Programming includes 8-10 exhibits each year by artists from around the local area, region, and the world representing a broad variety of media and genre. We produce at least one theatrical offering per year, and offer classes and workshops in several disciplines.
As a nonprofit, our funding comes primarily from donations. We have no endowment. The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, provides operating support to the Cadiz Community Arts Center with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. www.artscouncil.ky.gov
The Cadiz Community Arts Center was founded in 1998 when an enthusiastic group of arts-minded people gained enough momentum to buy a soon-to-be-vacated historic building and with a generous gift from the David L. Mason Foundation, began a phased renovation of the building. The first exhibit on site was opened in December 2000 and the former Post Office became the Janice Mason Art Museum (JMAM). Southern Kentucky Independent Theatre (SKIT) merged into the CCAC in January 2008 after serving as a free standing non-profit for over 25 years.
The Cadiz Community Arts Center has hired Architect Jack Pyburn of Atlanta to draft conceptual plans for future construction. These plans include a 300-seat theater, outdoor sculpture garden, and enhanced accessibility features. We would enjoy working with you to make these dreams become a reality.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Deja Voodoo
Hey, why make turkey hunting harder than it already is? The bird was gobbling, and he was where I could approach and work him. It had worked once that season, and nothing indicated it wouldn't work again.
Just like a week earlier, I dropped off the hill, circled to the crest of the ridge, slipped into a likely setup, let the woods calm down and then yelped softly. The turkey gobbled, and the game was on. Unbelievably, like the earlier bird, this turkey didn't go bonkers for calling but instead seemed to move closer when I gave him good doses of silence. And also unbelievably, just like the week before, the gobbler was flopping after about an hour.
OK, sure, it wasn't identical. This bird died at 40 steps instead of 15. I wasn't about to let him get to that damned hole. Hey, it was deja vu, not Groundhog Day.
What decision did you make?

A thermostat is part of the cooling system that regulates the temperature of the coolant in the engine. The thermostat is a metal valve that has a temperature sensor built in. It can either be open or closed. When the thermostat is closed, it keeps the coolant in the engine. When the engine gets to a predetermined temperature, the thermostat opens allowing coolant to circulate. The circulation of coolant prevents the engine from overheating. If the thermostat fails to open, the car will overheat. If the thermostat fails to close, the engine may never reach the optimal temperature (~220F). The thermostat opens and closes many times when the car engine is running. It is the most common component in the cooling system to fail, causing the car to overheat.

This original take on cauliflower (the florets are thinly sliced) is equally good at room temperature.
Leave a Review
I made this for my family for Thanksgiving. Everyone asked for the recipe. I have been making it ever since. Devine!
Excellent. Used 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 butter. I cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces, added the cauliflower to yellow onion and crimini mushrooms sauteed in olive oil, added pasta and the left over lemon sauce plus a little kosher salt and lemon pepper. Served the pasta with grated parmesan/romano cheese and toasted bread crumbs. I will serve the cauliflower on it's own and use it in a pasta dish in the future because it's easy and got rave reviews.
I sliced it into thin steaks so that it would cook more evenly, and the sauce was very reminiscent of hollandaise! Delicioso
I sliced a little thicker and roasted about 12 min then brushed with about half the butter lemon sauce and roasted another 10 min, also skipped the parsley as mine is still frozen but even my husband who thinks he doesn't like cauliflower liked it.
Slice it thin, even if it falls apart, just fit it all on the pan and you'll be golden, loves. Much easier to cook evenly when not in floret form.
Excellent. This has become one of my 'go to' recipes. I made this exactly as written, and my husband who is not a fan of cauliflower, ate half of it right off the sheet pan while the rest of the meal cooked.
OMG!My husband & I finished a whole head of cauliflower by ourselves! Definite keeper.
We make this regularly and it is delicious. However, we don't use lemon zest (just the juice) and we put the butter/mustard/lemon juice on at the beginning and roast it for 25-30 min. Totally yummy!
I follow the recipie save the parsley because I, like another reviewer, can't be bothered, and this was the biggest hit at Thanksgiving last year. I've made it a couple of times since, and it's gone within minutes! Defintely making it again for this Thanksgiving meal!
My entire family loved this recipe. The sauce on the cauliflower was delicious and I like that the cauliflower case still crispy. YUM
