Well after some experimentation and playing around I have found some new information out regarding listening to iheartradio from the command line in Linux.
Newer versions of mplayer have support to play the rtmp:// protocol eliminating the need for rtmpdump.
Quick Recap on how to grab the rtmp:// url from an iheartradio stream
- Go to
http://p2.STATION_ID.ccomrcdn.com/player/player_dispatcher.html?section=radio&action=listen_live; where station id is the call letters (ex: wtfx-fm)
- The attribute primary_location in <stream> contains the rtmp url
NOTE: The RTMP URL changes every 5-10 minutes! You must fetch the new url everytime.
To play the stream with mplayer:
mplayer "rtmp://cp21366.live.edgefcs.net/live/Lou_KY_WTFX-FM_OR..." -novideo
-novideo option is very improtant otherwise mplayer will take 5+ minutes trying to find video for the stream (there is none).
This is all great, but this is a lot of work everytime you want to listen to a iheartradio stream. Therefore I have coded up a script.
The Script:
- Asks you for the station id (ex: wtfx-fm)
- Asks how long the stream should play for
- Check for song information every 10 seconds
- Not Perfect (Alpha Quality)
#!/usr/bin/env python import subprocess import time import urllib2 import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET import os import datetime #Location of Stream to be SAVED DefaultStation="wtfx-fm" def getXML(): data=urllib2.urlopen('http://p2.'+station+'.ccomrcdn.com/player/player_dispatcher.html?section=radio&action=listen_live').read() xml=ET.fromstring(data) return xml def getSongInfo(): xml=getXML() artist=xml.find('ListenLiveInitialize/JustPlayed/song/artist').attrib['name'] title=xml.find('ListenLiveInitialize/JustPlayed/song/track').attrib['track_title'] return artist,title while True: station=raw_input("Enter Station ID [" + DefaultStation + "]: ") if not station: station=DefaultStation try: xml=getXML() except urllib2.URLError: print "Error - Invalid Station ID or Web Server Problem - Try Again" else: break while True: try: TIME=int(raw_input("Time Stream will Play (in minutes): ")) except ValueError: print "Error - Invalid Time - Try Again" else: break rtmpurl=xml.find("ListenLiveInitialize/StreamInfo/stream").attrib['primary_location'] mp=subprocess.Popen(['/usr/bin/mplayer', rtmpurl, '-novideo', '-ao', 'alsa', '-quiet'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) mpPID=mp.pid endTime = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=TIME) OldSongInfo=[] while datetime.datetime.now() < endTime: SongInfo=getSongInfo() if not SongInfo == OldSongInfo: OldSongInfo = SongInfo print SongInfo[0] + " - " + SongInfo[1] time.sleep(5) print("Stopping MPlayer...") os.kill(mpPID, 2) print "Done"
I got this script working on the N900 by downloading the Maemo 5 SDK and compiling the mplayer binary from a recent svn snapshot. Luckily, I didn't run into any problems. Although mplayer works with the N900, without any patches, it is not flawless. For example, video gets jittery and skips when the backlight switches off. I would recommend leaving mplayer form extra installed and storing the mplayer you compiled in /opt. With audio playback I do not have any issues, especially with the iheartradio rtmp stream!

Press Secty, Jay Carney saysLike we're really dumb enough to believe that? The people who have killed and destroyed obviously believe that the video = U.S. ... period.This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to U.S. policy, not to, obviously, the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video – a film – that we have judged to be reprehensive and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it. But this is not a case of protests directed at the United States, writ large, or at U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive and – to Muslims.
If this guy is willing to go on record saying stuff like this, he is either incredibly dumb or incredibly lacking in character.

Intel (INTC) built on earlier gains to rise 1.8% as the trading day winds down, the top gainer in the Dow.
My vacationing colleague Tiernan Ray highlighted the name in this weekend's Barron's magazine, writing that the shares could get a boost if Intel announces an accelerated schedule for its Atom chips, used in smartphones and tablets.
It seems Piper Jaffray is also warming to the microprocessor giant (if you can call a note with a title "dead cat bounce" warming): Today analysts Auguste Richard and Jennifer Baxter upgraded the shares to Neutral from Underweight. They also added $2 to their price target, now at $22.
Richard and Baxter write that while the industry is "now solidly in the post-PC era," PCs don't look like they're going the way of the dodo anytime soon. They write that we can expect "a modest corporate refresh cycle" as support for Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows XP ends next April and Windows 8.1 comes out in the fourth quarter. He too singles out the Bay Trail Atom chip for tablets, dismissing the concerns about cannibalization of some notebooks.
A 4.1% yield also doesn't hurt.
Read more from their note below:
Increasing CY14 estimates on corporate refresh/tablet opportunity. We now model CY14 revenue up 5% y/y after two years of decline on increased confidence in a mini enterprise upgrade cycle. We estimate that ~30% of 500M PCs in use today run Windows XP. MSFT will end support for XP in April 2014. We estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of these machines will be upgraded, ~150-250M systems. While not as potent as in the past, a corporate up grade cycle gives us confidence in our 5% y/y unit growth assumption in 2014 and, more importantly, stable ASPs .
Tablet offering is promising. Intel's new Bay Trail processor is a strong product offering for consumers who want Windows in a tablet factor. While some cannibalization of low-end consumer notebooks is likely to occur, we believe Bay Trail will be accretive overall to revenue and could drive ~$500M to $1B to the top line. Intel is aggressively promoting Bay Trail and we think this platform will finally drive market share for the company in tablets. However, we do not expect it to drive penetration in the mobile phone market.
Focusing on expenses. We believe discretionary spending is being cut internally and we are trimming operating expenses slightly for next year. Our estimates remain slightly below consensus for this year and next, but no longer street low. CY14E goes to $1.83 on $54.2B from $1.65 on $52.9B. Our price target goes to $22 based on 12x CY14E estimates. Our multiple is unchanged.

Is it better to help injured animals or let nature take its course? It's a question that people who spend much time outdoors sooner or later must confront. And it's a question that appears quite often on eNature's Ask an Expert forum. With that in mind, we've decided to reprise an article first posted last spring under the title "Think Twice."
You're on a hike not far from home, a child or two in tow. The weather is ideal -- warm and cloudless, with the occasional breeze. But now it's time to head back. You pause for some water, pass around the bottle, then notice, lo and behold, a small animal beside the path. Perhaps it's a chick or a lizard or a shrew. Whatever species, it doesn't flee when you approach. Even a child's attention won't scare it off. Is the animal hurt? Abandoned? On the one hand, you know better than to disturb it. On the other hand, a rescue seems in order. "We can't just leave it here and let it die!" The child's words echo in your ears.
A common dilemma, but one that needn't cause distress. The fact is that in almost all cases wild animals should remain wild. With baby cottontails, for example -- which make most children weak in the knees -- no amount of human attention can substitute for the care that a mother rabbit provides her young. All the blankets and eye droppers in the world will never match what happens outdoors. And if for some reason, despite the odds, an animal found in the wild survives under human care, with time it often loses those qualities that first made it an attractive pet. Instead of cute and cuddly now it's clawed and temperamental.
Another reason to leave animals where you find them relates to territorial issues. Turtles and other reptiles taken from the wild for pets are almost always released at some point in the future when their owners tire of caring for them. The problem then is that unless these creatures are deposited in the same spot where they were originally found, they will likely suffer. And since people move or simply forget where their pets were first picked up, the animals often find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings, sometimes with insufficient food, inadequate shelter, even new predators.
No doubt the most commonly rescued animal is the infant bird, fallen from a nest or in the course of an early flight. Surely a cat will find the bird sooner or later. Yet it's also true that the bird will have a better chance of reaching adulthood if left alone. Besides, federal law prohibits anyone but licensed officials from being in possession of nongame birds -- a detail worth mentioning the next time the kids make their case for saving a supposedly helpless chick.
An alternative to leaving an injured animal to fend for itself is to contact a local nature center or Audubon Society chapter. If there's a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in the area, either of these organizations will be able to notify him or her.

There are two different Scoutmaster Conferences. The First is when a Scout needs to fulfill a requirement to advance, the other is when a Scout needs your undivided attention.
The advancement conferences are pretty straight forward, but allot can be learned in a few minutes sitting with a Scout. A review of his book to ensure all is in order, some questions that test the practical application of those skills or lessons learned, and then listen.
Sometimes silence is a flag waving begging the Scoutmaster to keep asking questions. In some of the conferences I have held, a long pause and stare to the ground meant, "Ask me about School" or "I need to talk about girls". While I am not their parent, with two exceptions, the boys often times like that outside set of eyes and ears. It is the job of the Scoutmaster to be a good mentor, teacher, listener, friend. Baden Powell once said "To get a hold on boys you must be their friend." You may just be that person they are comfortable to talk to that will get them over the hump in School, or with their other friends, or yeah… with a girl.
Most of those topics come up at the other Scoutmaster conferences and not advancement, but I always leave that door open in the event that Monday night is the night they need to talk.
Regarding conferences other than advancement.. you call it what you want… but I made a promise to my Troop that if they need a "Conference" that was a signal that they needed to talk and I would stop the world for them and give them my attention.
Make yourself accessible. There is always time. You may have to juggle some things around, but the Scout needs to know that you are there and will in fact give them time.
The Scouts of my Troop have my phone number, email, and know that if need by I can pick up Morse code when it comes to giving them an ear.
The Scoutmaster conference is more than a requirement for advancement. It is a communication tool that develops the youth as he interacts with adults. It is a friendly ear to listen, it is a place to come for advice and comfort. To the Scout it is a promise that we care about them.
Take advantage of the Scoutmaster conference to get to know your Scouts, you will not regret it. You can learn allot about them and your Troop during a 5 minute chat.
Happy Scouting!

Should Healthy People Take Statins? »
"April 2, 2010 â" Should healthy people take a cholesterol-lowering drug to prevent heart disease even if they don't have high cholesterol?
The answer, for some people, is yes. It's a controversial answer that raises a lot of questions. H"...
(lovastatin) Tablets
MEVACOR® (lovastatin) is a cholesterol lowering agent isolated from a strain of Aspergillus terreus. After oral ingestion, lovastatin, which is an inactive lactone, is hydrolyzed to the corresponding α- hydroxyacid form. This is a principal metabolite and an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylcoenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, which is an early and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
Lovastatin is [1S-[1α(R*),3α,7α,8α(2S*,4S*), 8aα]]-1,2,3,7, 8,8a-hexahydro-3,7-dimethyl-8-[2-(tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1-naphthalenyl 2-methylbutanoate. The empiricalformula of lovastatin is C24H36O5 and its molecular weight is 404.55. Its structural formula is:
Lovastatin is a white, nonhygroscopic crystalline powder that is insoluble in water and sparingly soluble in ethanol, methanol, and acetonitrile.
Tablets MEVACOR are supplied as 20 mg and 40 mg tablets for oral administration. In addition to the active ingredient lovastatin, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: cellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, and starch. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is added as a preservative. Tablets MEVACOR 20 mg also contain FD&C Blue 2 aluminum lake. Tablets MEVACOR 40 mg also contain D&C Yellow 10 aluminum lake and FD&C Blue 2 aluminum lake.
What are the possible side effects of lovastatin (Altoprev, Mevacor)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking lovastatin and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness;
- fever, unusual tiredness, and dark colored urine;
- chest pain;
- confusion, memory problems;
- swelling, weight gain, urinating less than usual or not at all;
- high blood sugar (increased thirst, increased urination,...

What are the precautions when taking lovastatin (Mevacor)?
Before taking lovastatin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, kidney disease, alcohol use.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Limit alcoholic beverages. Daily use of alcohol may increase your risk for liver problems, especially when combined with lovastatin. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Laurier appoints AIDS expert Alan Whiteside as CIGI Chair in Global Health
Dec 4/12| For Immediate Release
Deborah MacLatchy, Vice-President, Academic & Provost
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University has appointed the internationally recognized academic and AIDS researcher Alan Whiteside to the position of CIGI Chair in Global Health at the Balsillie School of International Affairs. His term will begin in 2013.
Prior to joining Laurier, Whiteside was the founder and director of the Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. He has written numerous articles and several books on HIV/AIDS, including AIDS: The Challenge for South Africa (2000) and HIV/AIDS: A Very Short Introduction (2008). Whiteside is well known for his work in this field and lectures on the international stage. He developed a successful training workshop, Planning for HIV/AIDS, and mentors students, academics and researchers in the field.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Dr. Whiteside to Laurier and to the Balsillie School of International Affairs, said Deborah MacLatchy, vice-president: academic and provost at Laurier. His research has made a significant difference to our understanding of the combined human and economic dimensions of HIV/AIDS to the African continent. He will add to our growing expertise in global health at the university.
In his new role, Whiteside will be affiliated with Lauriers School of International Policy and Governance and the Balsillie School of International Affairs. The latter is a partnership involving Laurier, The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), and the University of Waterloo.
"The position is really exciting because it is not a narrow, discipline-based appointment, said Whiteside. It is a chance to work with excellent, imaginative academics.
Whiteside holds a BA in Development Studies (1978) and an MA in Development Economics (1980) from University of East Anglia, United Kingdom, as well as a D.Econ (2003) from University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Whiteside was a journalist and teacher in Mbabane, Swaziland before becoming a planning officer and economist for the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning of the Government of Botswana. From 1983-1997, he held a number of positions at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, including associate professor of the Economic Research Unit. In 1987, he began his work on HIV/AIDS, presenting his first paper on AIDS and migration at a conference in London. In 2003 he was appointed by Kofi Annan as one of the Commissioners for the Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa. He is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Department for International Development, United Kingdom.

IPad Market Share Bested by Nexus 7 in Japan

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: ibtimes.com)
Japan's largest business daily Nikkei said that the Nexus 7 is taking over mainly because of price
Apple's iPad is notorious for being king of the tablets, but in Japan, this may no longer be the case.
Market research firm BCN conducted a survey in Japan last December to see what the tablet market share was looking like. Out of 2,400 consumer electronics stores in Japan, the iPad had 40.1 percent of the market while
Google's Nexus 7
claimed 44.4 percent.
Japan's largest business daily
said that the Nexus 7 is taking over mainly because of price. The Nexus 7 costs $199 USD while the cheapest iPad --
the iPad mini
-- is $329 USD. Both the Nexus 7 and iPad mini are 7-inch tablets.
However, the report did note that some stores in Japan have run out of the iPad mini, which may have affected the results a bit.
The iPad mini features a 7.85-inch display, 1024x768 resolution, Dual-core A5 processor, Lightning connector, 5 MP rear-facing camera, 1.2 MP front-facing camera, 720p HD video, 16GB/32GB/64GB storage options, 10-hour battery life, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and 4G LTE availability. The iPad mini starts at $329 for the 16GB version, $429 for the 32GB, and $529 for the 64GB.
Google's Nexus 7 is a tablet made by ASUS. It runs the latest version of the Android operating system, 4.1 Jelly Bean, and packs various features like a 7-inch IPS display with a 1280x800 resolution, a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, a 1.2 MP front-facing camera, NFC, Bluetooth, 802.11n wireless, GPS and 16GB/32GB versions. The 16GB version
starts at $199
while the 32GB runs $249.99.

Washington Post reporter to speak on U.S. military's role, Oct. 20
Posted October 17, 2003; 03:41 p.m.
Priest, investigative reporter and military intelligence writer for The Washington Post, will present a lecture titled "The Mission: The U.S. Military's Expanding Role in World Affairs" at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 20, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Priest worked as the Post's Pentagon correspondent for six years, and then wrote exclusively about the military as an investigative reporter. She was one of the first reporters on the ground for the invasion of Panama in 1989, reported from Iraq in late 1990 just before the war began and covered the 1999 Kosovo war from air bases in Europe. She has written extensively about the nation's four regional commanders-in-chief, Army Special Forces training programs overseas, the 1999 Kosovo air war and the Army's peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Kosovo.
In 2001, Priest was awarded a MacArthur Foundation Research and Writing Grant, as well as both the Gerald R. Ford Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the National Defense and the State Department's Excellence in Journalism Award for her series, "The Proconsuls: A Four-Star Foreign Policy?"
Priest's book, "The Mission: Waging War and Keeping Peace With America's Military" (W.W. Norton, 2003), is an examination of America's growing dependence on the military to manage world affairs.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs .

Posted: 23 May 2008 at 6:47pm
Assalamu Alaikum
I've arrived at the US several days ago and I'm planning to live in Riverhead, NY for 4 months.
The 1st thing I'm looking for is the nearest mosque or islamic center to come on Friday to pray. I did not find anything in Riverhead, but I guess there must be sth nearer than NYC
I want to find out about exact direction to pray, the accurate salah timetables and just to stay in touch with brothers :)
I will be very grateful for any help or advice
Thanks in advance

A reread from last year, I did this as a sort of refresher as cross country practice starts next week. I'm glad I read it since it reminded me of a few things I'd forgotten and given me a few ideas for the upcoming season.

Honk! Honk! Beep! Beep! Oh, the sounds of rush hour traffic. A lot worse than usual, and you only have 30 minutes left to make that important meeting. You left in plenty of time. Well, better call the team and let them know you will be late.
Sound familiar? It's a very common occurrence and there is a solution. A solution to make all morning meetings forever be on time. Video conferencing from home. Yes, that's right. Everyone sit down in your favorite comfy chair at home, turn on those laptops, connect to the video conferencing service, and have your favorite morning drink by your side (no alcohol please, or at least don't make it obvious).
Sounds wonderful. But, there is a problem. There is a rumor that it is to expensive to setup video conferencing. Or is it? If your company is going to buy all the hardware, software and possible bandwidth increase required to setup video conferencing than, yes, it will be expensive. And some companies prefer this way and have the funds to do it. However, it is not written anywhere that you must do it this way. There is an alternative.
There are businesses designed to service your video conferencing needs. These businesses acquire all the needed hardware, software, and telecommunications connections (a.k.a. lots of bandwidth) required for a great video conferencing experience. These video conferencing service companies will than share their investment and technology with you, at a fraction of the price it would have cost your business to do the entire setup internally. In addition, they have the knowledge and experience to support and maintain these services.
There are a few ways you can implement video conferencing services. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing scenario. Here are some ideas:
- You can sign up for the service to do a proof of concept. In other words, evaluate video conferencing as a new tool before deploying it company-wide. The feedback you receive from a select group in your workforce, will be invaluable to helping deploy telepresence as a communication tool company-wide.
- If you decide to setup video conferencing in house, but don't have the expertise to manage it, no problem. Outsource the skill set from an expert in the video conferencing business.
- Sign up for the service and use it full time for your video conferencing communications needs.
Implementing video conferencing into your business doesn't need to be expensive or scarey. Just find a video conferencing service provider to do all the expensive and hard stuff for you. Which leaves you with only one serious decision. Honk! Honk! Beep! Beep! first thing in the morning? Or the restfulness of your favorite chair to get that morning meeting started on time, every time.
Batipi is a video conferencing service provider. They offer cutting edge technology, cloud hosting, flexible pricing plans, and great customer service that includes a single point of contact. Best of all their service can support connections from a PC, MAC, iPhone, iPad, or Android capable devices.

Career development concept wins business plan competition
December 14, 2010Tweet
A group of students in the School of Management recently earned $2,500 to start their new business venture. WiseResume.com - the brainchild of Jason Brandt, Mihir Desu, Jonathan Guerrera, Elliot Nasser and Hyunwoo Yoo - won the 16th Botnick Entrepreneurship Competition.
During the final round, which took place at the SOM on Dec. 7, the WiseResume.com team as well as three other finalists presented their business plans before a panel of judges who themselves have experience in running their own businesses. Competitors were students in Angelo Mastrangelo's Entrepreneurship 460 and 560 combined class group.
WiseResume.com would fill the gap between on-campus career development centers and high-priced career coaches. If someone was looking for a job in finance, for example, Wise Resume.com would connect him or her with a professional who has experience critiquing resumes from other people working in finance.
"A lot of us can speak from experience that trying to reach out to people in our industry is a very time-consuming process, and (WiseResume.com) makes it a little easier," Guerrera said during the presentation. "We offer subject-matter expertise at a low cost."
WiseResume.com will earn another $2,500 if the company successfully operates in the Binghamton area for one year.
Finalists included:
Midnight Baker - the creation of Melissa Gomes, Anne Gole, Andrew Kneller, Carolyn Kost and Himalaya Rao-Potlapally - is a business that would offer organic and gluten-free baked goods in order to serve the growing consumer segment suffering with food allergies.
Adventurcise - a concept by Michele Gordon, Shirley Hu, Danielle Tanamy and Alan Yip - is a health and wellness program that would train instructors to go into schools and gyms to lead children in imaginative exercise sessions.
Practical Medical Management - with team members Arkadiy "David" Aloyts, Zachary Buckter, Andrew Lin and Andrea Smith - offered physicians a new concept for running their medical offices. The company would supply professional office managers to enable doctors to spend more time treating patients and less time completing paperwork.
Judges were: Ferris Akel '59, president of Giant Markets in Binghamton; Kevin Blake, owner of Integrated Computer Solutions in Endicott; Howard Eisen '87, managing director and co-founder of Fletcher Bennett, a New York-based hedge fund business development and consulting firm; and Jon Layish '91, owner and founder of Red Barn Computers in Binghamton.

Workshop: Domesticating Violence and Justice Remade
Justice for Trayvon Martin - San Jose, will be yet again hitting SJSU Campus, bringing the Community to the Campus, and the Campus to the Community. Two Nights in a Row!!!
The Program:
Night One
SJSU Student Union, Almaden Room -
Black Brown Unity Round Table Discussion
Night Two
Pacifica Room, SJSU Student Union-
Community Skill Share
During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we will be bringing together a forum of discussion the complexity of Violence & Justice in America, in light of the tragedies of Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, and most especially Marissa Alexander, in celebration of the overturning of her conviction and in mourning of the October 22nd Day of Action, around lives stolen by Police Brutality and Murder.
It is our fondest hopes that we can join together in sharing and learning from one another on how best to begin our collective work toward a more just and peaceful society, in which we need not fear for our lives and well being simply because of the color of our skin, gender or poverty.
What is Domesticating Violence?
"Domesticating Violence – is a mode of social being and relation (domestication) through violence. It is a totally engulfing process that penetrates all spheres of contemporary society and permeates all spaces of social relation, such as (but not limited to); our thoughts, behaviors, intimacies', interactions, homes, families, communities, and politics. Thereby remolding these spaces and relations, not just as prone to violence, but violent in form and essence. A form whereby constant, directed, and systematic violence(s) are applied to disempower, regulate, condition, and discipline both populations and individuals into subservience and/or docility. In essence it is a material and political dynamic by which violence exists acceptably as constant "applied force" (or the threat thereof), to sustain a condition of permanent asymmetric power."
How does it differ from "Domestic Violence"?
Domesticating Violence differs from Domestic Violence, in the sense that what is today described as "domestic violence" is but a micro expression of the overall condition of Domesticating Violence that dominates American Society. It is our hope that we will be able to provide new foundations by which deeper discussions of the causal origins of violence as it relates to intimate relationships, racist colonialism, sexual difference, and poverty can result in a collaborative quest for justice, that actually works.

Serves 6 to 8
Grilling these pizzas gives the crust a wonderfully crisp texture, and the sausage and eggplant get a smoky edge. It's easy enough to make the dough yourself, though you can use store-bought pizza dough (about 3/4 lb. for both pizzas) if you're pressed for time. When prepping the eggplant, leave the skin intact so the peeled eggplant won't fall apart on the grill.
Mix 3/4 cup of warm water (between 100°F and 110°F) with the yeast and sugar in a 1-cup measure, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until the surface of the liquid becomes frothy. In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the flour,1 Tbs. oil, and 1 tsp. salt on low speed until combined. Add the yeast mixture and continue mixing, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until a dough forms, about 3 minutes. Add 1 or 2 Tbs. of water or flour if the dough is too dry or wet, respectively. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large oiled bowl, cover with a dishtowel, and let sit at room temperature until the dough almost doubles in size, 1 to 2 hours. (The dough can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated in a zip-top plastic bag.)
For a gas grill heat the back burner(s) to medium-high and the front burner to low. For a charcoal grill, light a large fire and push the coals to one side of the grill; the fire is ready when you can hold your hand a couple inches above the hot zone for just 3 to 4 seconds. Clean and oil the grill grates. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with 2 Tbs. oil, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and grill over the hot part of the fire along with the sausage, flipping occasionally, until the eggplant is completely tender, about 8 minutes, and the sausage is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for a couple minutes and then thinly slice the sausage. In a medium bowl, mix the tomatoes with the thyme, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 2 equal balls and transfer to a floured work surface. Shape each into a thin round, 10 to 12 inches wide. Brush the top side with 1 Tbs. oil then flip the oiled side over onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the other side with 1 Tbs. oil and cover with a piece of parchment paper. Repeat with the second ball of dough and the second baking sheet. (You can grill the pizzas immediately or hold at room temperature for up to 1 hour.)
When you are ready to grill, peel back the parchment on top of one dough round. With two hands, support the dough under the remaining parchment paper side, flip it dough side down onto the grill's hot zone, and peel off the parchment paper from the facing side. Cook the dough without moving until it bubbles and gets good grill marks, about 1 minute. Rotate it 90° and cook until the dough is uniformly browned but not burnt, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pull the dough to the cooler zone of the charcoal fire or to the front of the gas grill and reduce the middle zone's heat to medium-low. Flip the dough and top evenly with half of the tomatoes, sausage, eggplant, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, a drizzle of the remaining Tbs. of oil, and a light sprinkling of salt. Cover the grill (with the vents open on a charcoal grill) and cook, rotating the pizza about every minute until it cooks evenly and the cheese melts, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the basil, transfer to a large cutting board, slice, and tent with aluminum foil while cooking the second pizza. Grill and top the remaining pizza in the same manner, and serve.
Start off with a Classic Caesar Salad and finish the meal with fun Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches.

text: Had to put my brown boy down Saturday morning after 13 yrs and 8 months of a great life. Duke was a special boy to me as I was born and spent the first 38 years of my life in the mountains of Western Virginia hunting deer and turkeys. I had never shot at a duck or goose till I bought Duke. Being my first lab, I had no idea about titles or pedigrees. All I knew is that I wanted him AKC registered and from hunting lines. I found him through a friend and paid $250 for him and it was the best $250 I ever invested. After getting him, I dived into the many retriever books and websites and learned all I could. I joined a retriever club and I was hoooked. I was proud of him as Duke earned his Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH) title. What was special about Duke is that he introduced me into the world of waterfowling and we had great times hunting ducks and geese from Virginia to Connecticut all the way to a trip we took with my Dad to Manitoba. Memories that will last a lifetime. He was also a great upland dog, be it grouse or pheasants. As my hunting buddies would say - just watch Duke's tail and have your finger ready on the safety! I live in Deep River and hunt up and down the CT River and plan on spreading some ashes of my boy from Great Island to Pratt Cove to the Salmon River Cove where we hunted together. This pic was taken after our last hunt together with a friend late last year. I love ya buddy and you don't have to be steady now and can break anytime you want! Tim

I'm in love with the women of Univision.
Yeah... I got that yesterday in Aurora/Twinsburg area.
$1.47 is the cheapeast I've seen it in recent days.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]MOM, THROW DOWN SOME MONEY! THE ICE CREAM MAN IS COMIIING!!!![/FONT]
When I STARTED college, gas was $1.25 a gallon, sometimes $1.14 I think.
I'm starting to imagine going back to those days. If we do, can I get back my ex-girlfriend and $#$@ the %$$! out of her?
Then I'd show you all something about getting some mileage!
Meanwhile, nowadays I have to purchase premium because it's best for what I drive. But that just means it's $0.20 more than whatever many of you guys are paying. That translates to $4 more for a full tank (my SUV holds 20 gallons).
I don't understand what's happening in my area (we account for about 75% of California's oil production). Prices are flirting with the $2 and above mark. Huh?

It was 1.49 Monday. Today it ranged from 1.58 to 1.62. Around here, I'm accustomed to sudden (like in the course of a few hours) 30+ cent price increases so I guess it could be worse.
We've jumped from $1.42 to $1.79 in only a few days. What the heck happened?

I think the oil companies are deliberately cutting back production, thus decreasing the supply and causing the price to go back up.

I was also suprised to see $1.79 yesterday. The current excuse is renewed unrest in the Gaza strip and the federal gov't lifting its self-imposed hiatus of adding more barrels of crude to the strategic oil hoard.

...and more....
I am starving by the time I check in. The first accomplishment for me in Hong Kong is that I manage to order and eat at a place that doesn't even have a name I can read. It's a hopping, large chain restaurant, serving different brothy, Pho-like items. Apparently, a hit with the locals, so it can't be bad
On my first day in Hong Kong, I continue to be impressed with how well everything functions, efficient and organized. The only difference to the Germanic homeland is the mostly Asian looking people, neon signage galore and over-AC-ed indoors. I find the Indian visa office without a glitch. That's a good omen, right? The second I walk in, I am relieved. Barely anyone there, quiet, clean, friendly. On first inquiry it sounds like this application will be a walk in the park. A few efficient minutes later, I am done. Now it's just a matter of time and phone calls to check on my application status. Fingers crossed!
Sitting on a park bench now with the weight of that visa business off my shoulders, I am not sure what to do with myself
A garbage lady with a theatrical hat impresses me when she comes to pick up some crumbled up receipts I have in my lap. How different is that from all the recent countries I traveled, where everyone just drops there garbage anywhere?! It makes me feel oddly lighter.
I spend the day roaming in Kowloon. A quick lunch at a flashy mall has me drawn into the wonders of shopping. I try on bikinis that make me feel like a whale (the largest local size is still too tight for me). Enjoying a book in front of the lit Space Museum I am waiting for Hubes. We last met in Toronto, just a few weeks before I left on this trip. Very cool to be seeing him again here, after over 9 months.
I have to insist on sleeping on the couch. No way I'd let Hubert give up his bed or worse yet, move in with his aunt, just to accommodate me. The couch is the most comfortable thing I have slept on in a very, very long time anyways. I sleep in and while trying to decide whether to spend the day catching up on blogging or heading downtown, a friend from university, Daniela Boehmann, pings me on facebook. Incredibly, she is in town also, right now, right here. It is 10 years ago that we last met
Over the next few days I am in the lucky position to get a share of Hube's private life, which includes meeting different groups of his friends and colleagues, mouth-watering restaurants, another shopping 'accident', one fantabulous day spent on a boat and one wild night out. With the latter, while most everyone around me will be fighting hang-overs, I am confident I'll just be battling lack of sleep. Somehow, I managed to chat and dance the night away with no more than 4 drinks over 10 or so hours. In my books that's the perfect amount of intoxication for a bit of fun without the nasty side effects. I guess you know you had a good night, if the sun comes up when you leave the watering holes for your post-party meal, go to sleep when the rest of the world starts waking for their weekend and leave the house for breakfast at 8pm (yes, pm - it's not a typo.... clarifying for those of you who are early morning birds and unable to compute).
By the time my India visa comes through on Friday, all flight prices have gone up, so I continue to bum it out on that comfy couch until Tuesday the following week. In the 11 days I spent in Hong Kong I not only got a view of the skyline from all possible angles, but might have developed a severe crush on this city as well
Things I noticed and learned about Hong Kong:
- If you google 'cleanest subway', you will find Hong Kong. Even Germany and North America can not compete with the cleanliness and organization I encountered here.
- The iPhone 3 is not cool enough. Literally everyone sports the latest iPhone 4 as an essential accessory. I don't recall seeing any Black Berries at all. Interesting.
- It's all about the $$$ baby! Status means so much here that women carry branded handbags worth more than a months' rent. Everyone has their priorities I guess and it's just another quintessential HK staple.
- Quote Hubert: "HK is the freest place on earth." I can see that HK is a money making machine, but I question how free people really are that think they need a big car, flashy sunglasses or outrageously priced hand bag to feel a part of it all.
- HK night life is the biggest meat market I remember seeing anywhere. Watching the dynamics of class-oriented locals and expats at work is fascinating.
- People work their behinds off. A 12 hour work day is merely normal. Hubert is the exception, trying to keep a bit of a balanced life. Even though he works much less than his business partner, he rarely got home before 8pm or so and avoids weekend work.
Having had a blast and one informal, immediate job opportunity in this pleasant city, leaves me feeling rather tempted to consider moving here for a while. I might not care for the status greed quite as much, but besides that I feel quite at home here. Of course, living in any place wouldn't be the same as visiting (especially with such a fabulous host ;)). I know that much. Never mind the logistics of potentially loosing my Landed status in Canada. A thought that might remain in my head for a little while to keep mulling over though….

All,Thanks for your time and looking at my post. I have been checking regularly to see if the Arduino Starter Kit would be in stock so I could order one. However, it has become an exercise in futility. Are there any retailers that have packaged an Arduino board with other electronic components to make their own "starter kit"? If there are no kits for beginners, what components could I purchase separately to make a kit? What are your recommendations for a book to purchase as a project guide?Again, thanks for your time and advice./R,NearBeer

She finds herself in a new world, trying to make friends and talking to different people and she can't thank Kazehaya enough for giving her these opportunities. Slowly, but surely, a sweet love is blossoming between the two as they will overtake any circumstance or clear obstacles in their way.
Checking out the art style, it seems kinda similar to korean animation, and also the colors feel very watercolor-like. Or is it just me?

The water doesn't need to be super interesting. It's how you use it that's important. If you have water that allows for re-entries, odds are that you can use it "right" or "wrong".
In this example, you would want to run the yellow lines with a dog that tends to go fat.
The red lines, would be for a dog that tends to cheat, or go thin.
The water is nothing special. It's just about how you use it.

Myocarditis -- Child
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart's muscle. Although rare, it can be devastating. Myocarditis can occur with no symptoms and remain undiagnosed.
In most children, the condition is often caused by a viral infection. Other potential causes include:
- Medications
- Autoimmune disorders
- Infections by bacteria, parasites, or fungus
Sometimes the cause cannot be found.
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart's muscle. Although rare, it can be devastating. Myocarditis can occur with no symptoms and remain undiagnosed.
Healthy Myocardium Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. There is no specific test for myocarditis. The diagnosis can usually be made based on the history, physical exam and test results. Many other causes of heart problems must be ruled out before the diagnosis can be made.
Your child's heart will be analyzed with:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
—to look for electrical
problems in the heart
- Imaging tests to examine the size, shape, and motion of the heart, including
- Chest x-ray
- Echocardiogram
- Cardiovascular magnetic resonance
- Biopsy
—to look for infection
or other causes
Blood tests may also be done to look for signs of infection or inflammation in the heart.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
To help prevent viral or bacterial infections, practice good hygiene. For example, have your child wash their hands regularly.
Risk Factors
There are no known risk factors for developing myocarditis.
Some children may have no symptoms. Those that do may have a variety symptoms that can appear slowly or come on suddenly. Children older than two years old may have fewer symptoms than babies.
Contact the doctor right away if your child has any of these symptoms:
Flu-like complaints, including fever, fatigue, muscle or joint pain, vomiting,
, and weakness
- Rapid or irregular heart rate
- Chest pain
- Trouble breathing
- Loss of consciousness
- Swelling of the face, feet, or legs
- Abdominal pain
- Decreased urine output
Your child will need bed rest. Physical activity should be avoided. Myocarditis may be relieved by treating the underlying cause if possible:
- Antibioitcs may be given for a bacterial infection
- Antiviral agents may be given if a virus in involved
- Immunosuppressive or immunoglobulin therapy may be used if an autoimmune disorder is involved
Medication may also be given to support the heart function and remove extra fluid from the lungs or other body tissues.

Mystery Snail Foot Injury or Disease?
Because of my fondness for mystery snails - a friend recently gave me her "sick" blue mystery snail with the hopes of me being able to help - however, I have never seen anything like this before and need some help figuring out what to do/what is going on!
From my understanding, she had this snail for about 3 months and it had been active and healthy until about a week ago. According to her, the snail remained upside down and inside its shell in the same spot on the bottom of the tank for about 5 days. Her tank is a 10 gallon with two mollies - who are pretty aggressive and liked to "annoy the snail".
I have now had her snail in my 1.5 gallon (I didn't want to put her in my 10 gallon in the case that she has something contagious) for the last 3 days. She stayed on the bottom in the same position for the first night - but yesterday started to come out of her shell a bit - but seemed to not be able to turn herself right side up - she even ate part of an algae wafer upside down. Today she was still seeming to struggle to turn herself over, so I helped her and put her right-side-up on the gravel and near the glass. She has now climed up to the top of the tank and I can see what the problem is - I just don't know it means. Her foot looks like it has been eroding, or a chunk has been pulled off, or it is some sort of fungus. I sent this picture to my friend and she told me that her foot did not look like this the last time that she saw it (about 8-10 days ago). I have been doing research all day, but have not been able to figure out what is going on.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Any advice? Please let me know if you need more pictures.
Thanks so much!
Damaged by mollies followed by subsequent bacterial or fungal infection due to sub-optimal water quality? Lots of food, clean water and no harassment by aggressive fish should do the trick if that is the case. It is a good sign that the snail is eating and attempting to move around.

Thanks so much for responding. Sadly, her foot is not getting better. She is, however, eating - and her shell even has some new growth (I have added calcium to her water, and given her plenty of limestone and calcium-rich veggies). But, her foot seems to be getting worse. She used to be able to freely move around the bottom of the tank when I would help her into the right position, but now she can only grasp onto the gravel with a tiny portion of her foot - but it is not enough to pull herself around, so she just ends up grabbing onto gravel and flipping over (with the gravel still clutched in the little part of her foot). The white spot/erosion portion seems to be getting bigger - but her appetite and personality of wanting to get around on her own has not changed. The only way that she can eat is if I put an algae wafer or shrimp pellet right next to her face (while she is upside down, because she can not stay right-side-up for longer than about 30 seconds now) and she twists her neck around and out of her shell to be able to eat it. I am really at a loss here - I can tell that she is wanting to live, but I just can't figure out how to help her! Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I just feel so bad for her.

Every little bit as amazing.Any way you look at it, iPad mini is just incredible. And the stunning Retina display is only the beginning. With a new A7 chip, advanced wireless, and powerful apps - all beautifully integrated with iOS 7 - iPad mini with Retina display lets you do more than you ever imagined. Feature for feature, it's identical to iPad Air in every way. Except for its super-portable, hold-it-in-one-hand, still-just-right mini size.
it is what it is 1/1/2016Don L from

Great! 5/1/2015
Great product. Never had a problem, easy to use, right price!
Nice little pad 9/9/2014
There are a lot of good things to say about the iPad mini with retina display. I'm not going to list them all because other reviewers have listed most of them already. I do have to say if you are looking for a tablet because you are planning on buying and reading books, I would highly recommend this. In my opinion the kindle app on this tablet is perfect for reading books. For me, reading on this really feels like reading a book and doesn't feel like reading on a tablet.
With for the money 8/29/2014
It was a good deal (320) and I got 32 dollar credit from rakuten as well
good 8/27/2014
Prompt delivery, and everything as promised. I would recommend this seller.

Good tablet.
Awful Experience With costumer Service 8/13/2014Randall H from Milford, CT
I placed my order and the company refused to honor price match ( price went down for 30.00 dollars. They suggest to purchase the same item and pay 10% restocking fee. AWFUL I am doing it as I was told.
Excellent Product - ipad mini 8/12/2014
As usual this apple product keeps its tag. Nothing more to say !!!
This is the right ipad for me! 8/8/2014
I used to have ipad3. It is good but a little bit big and heavy and did not fit in my handbag. This ipad mini is much more portable and lighter. Performance is same as my bf's ipad air. battery last very long. But it gets really hot after I continue playing games for 1 hour.
The best small pad u can get 8/8/2014
I don't think ipad mini 3 will be a huge upgrade. 290$ is a very good price, which is close to nexus 7. And ipad mini with retina display is way better than nexus 7. worth it.
Mini ipad as powerful as fullsize ipad 8/7/2014Jon from Pembroke Pines florida

Excellent iPad. The Air and newest Mini have evolved into a fine instrument for business and pleasure. No tablet is perfect, but this one is an excellent example of Apple aesthetics along with powerful and efficient product.

Masback, a 1977 Princeton graduate, is director of business affairs for Nike Inc.'s global sports marketing division.

They continue to sell their products through as few authorised dealers as they feel necessary which means that the £200 price rage for these is pretty much what you're going to have to pay if you want to have your socks blown off by these little gems.

As seismologists often like to say, "Earthquakes don't kill people. Buildings do." The fact that most earthquake-related deaths are due to collapsing structures suggests there's still much work to do in seismic-proof design.
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany agree, and have developed an earthquake-resistant wallpaper to give occupants more time to escape buildings when an earthquake hits. The material, called Intelligent Composite Seismic Wallpaper, is actually a textile that consists of glass fibers embedded in different orientations within a layer of mortar. The scientists produced the textile according to the framework of the POLYTECT (Polyfunctional Technical Textiles against Natural Hazards) EU project to reinforce the masonry walls of buildings in seismically active regions.
Depending on the availability and cost of a commercially produced version of the textile, the new wallpaper could provide priceless insurance against loss of life in earthquake-prone hotspots.
