Feedback loops are changing what people do
|Feedback loops are profoundly effective tools for changing behavior, argues the July cover story. The basic premise is simple. Provide people with information about their actions in real time, then give them an opportunity to change those actions, pushing them toward better behaviors. Computer scientist and electrical engineer Shwetak Patel's sensors are described.

EnergJ system could cut computer power consumption by up to 90 percent
|EnergJ, developed by computer scientist Luis Ceze and doctoral student Adrian Sampson, supplies less power to regions of the chip that are performing processes that don't require absolute precision. In lab simulations, it has already cut power consumption by up to 50 percent, although that amount could potentially reach as high as 90 percent.

EnerJ power-saving system prioritizes CPU voltage, may reduce energy consumption by 90 percent
|It takes a lot of energy for computing systems or data centers to patch up critical errors, but what if we devoted less power to fixing less urgent issues? That's the basic idea behind EnerJ -- a new power-saving system that could cut a chip's energy consumption by 90 percent, simply by prioritizing critical problems over those that are less threatening.

Saddam son warns Americans
Saddam Hussein's elder son on Friday warned the U.S. of an ignominious defeat should it attempt to invade Iraq.
In a broadcast on the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite , Uday warned that "September 11 would be a picnic" compared to the "losses" expected if it committed "the grand stupidity" of invading Iraq. "They (the U.S.) would be paying a dear price they could never imagine," he said.
Uday was speaking in a rarely televised address at the Baghdad Iraqi press syndicate, of which he is the chairman.
"It is better for the Americans to keep themselves away from us," Uday was quoted as saying.
Uday said the Americans could get more gains from Iraq without war, saying that Washington would fail in its attempt to oust Saddam Hussein. "They can get much more from Iraq by dialogue without resorting to the logic of force and war," he said. (Albawaba.com)

Looking back at Bill Belichick and the Spy-gate episode of 2007, I sometimes wish NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would revisit this very delicate and controversial issue of spying on future opponents.I actually think he initially did a fairly good job of handling the Spy-gate issue, although I believe that the forfeited first-round draft selection by the Patriots should have been awarded to the offended club (Jets).
The area I would like the commissioner to revisit does not involve Spy-gate, but rather involves Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans between the Patriots and Rams, specifically as it concerns the activities of Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh and the parameters of which I'm still not entirely sure you are familiar to the commissioner.
I would think that the potential of a possible scandal surrounding the Super Bowl would be of tremendous concern in his office; enough, in fact, that there would be a necessity — indeed an urgency — to investigate the charge in such a way that the NFL would leave no stone unturned in its search for a resolution to this matter. From what I saw last summer, that sense of urgency did not exist.
Yet today there is still an air of uncertainty over actions taken by Mr. Walsh, who has already admitted to violating NFL policy; actions that may very well have affected the outcome of Super Bowl and tipped the scales to the New England Patriots.
If the long-term integrity of the league, and/or the perception of it in the public eyes, is of paramount importance to the league, then the commissioner's overall ruling in this matter was, quite frankly, unsatisfactory.
The appearance of any impropriety surrounding an NFL game is a major affront to the game, but for such a question to loom over the NFL's biggest showcase, played on the largest stage for any one-day sporting event in the world, is absolutely unacceptable. It is simply too offensive to the sensibilities of fair-minded individuals, and justifiably leaves the NFL open to a great deal of criticism from its skeptics.
If I were able to speak to Roger Goodell, I would urge the commissioner to continue to exhaust all avenues at your disposal, to uncover the facts that need to be known about this incident and to be resolute in taking the action necessary to restore the kind of credibility that will leave no doubt forever in the mind of the public that anything less than fairness and equity will not be tolerated in the NFL.
Back in 2004, long before the "Spy-gate" incident, a former Rams player, related a story to me one evening after a workout at the Teams complex that I will never forget.
At the last practice in St. Louis prior to leaving for the Super Bowl, Mike Martz installed a "red zone" play that the Rams had not used once during the Pre-season, regular season or during our playoff run. When the team arrived in New Orleans, even with the beefed up security, Mike once again did not run that particular play (a wheel route to Marshall Faulk) until the club's final walk-through practice on the Saturday prior to the game.
"I think Mike had been saving this particular play for this one situation. And to tell you the truth, Tom, the play was unstoppable' said the now former player, 'but when Mike inserted the corresponding personnel package, formation and made the call during the first half, the Patriots defensive players and virtually the entire Patriots sidelines were screaming to watch the wheel to Marshall! "It was as if they knew exactly what was coming."
Coincidence? Chance? I guess we will never be entirely sure that our loss (we were clearly the better team) wasn't directly related to their apparent covert actions prior to the absolutely most important game in my professional football career. But a very long time ago I resolved myself to the fact that we ultimately fell short of our goal on that "Black Sunday; and that's the way it has to remain I suppose.

Art theft experts offer to help Cuba recover missing works
By David Quinones
MIAMI (Reuters) - One of the world's leading databases of stolen works of art is offering to help the Cuban government recover dozens of modernist works missing from Havana's National Museum of Fine Arts.
The heist was confirmed late last week by officials with Cuba's state-run National Council of Cultural Heritage, which added it was in the process of finishing an inventory of the missing pieces which will be made public.
Miami gallery owner Ramon Cernuda, a Cuban-American exile and prominent collector of Cuban art, alerted the Havana museum last month after he became suspicious of 11 works being offered for sale in Miami, including one he purchased.
On Friday, Cuban officials confirmed the works, including several by acclaimed Cuban painter Leopoldo Romañach, were part of a larger trove of stolen art, thought to be about 95 pieces in all.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has begun grand jury proceedings in the case, Cernuda told Reuters on Monday.
The FBI said, however, that it could not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation.
The disclosure of the theft is a first for the Cuban government since Fidel Castro took power in 1959. In its statement, officials from the National Council of Cultural Heritage stated that the works were cut from their frames while in storage.
Most of the missing works were by Cuban artists, it said. Continued...

Disaster Financial Assistance
Disaster Financial Assistance
Following a disaster, the provincial government may declare the event eligible for Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA). Once declared, the DFA program may compensate individuals for essential uninsurable losses and/or reimburse local governments for damaged infrastructure.
Individuals should contact their local authority if they have been impacted by a disaster or emergency event.
- Disaster Financial Assistance is only available for provincial disasters after the provincial government has declared them eligible
- The provincial government works closely with local governments to determine if and when an event should be eligible
- Private sector damage must be from an event that is uninsurable, such as overland flooding
- Insurable damages in the private sector such as snow load, wind damage, sewer or sump pit back-up, water entry from above ground (including roofs, windows or other areas of the building), are NOT eligible for DFA
- Damages from certain landslides may be eligible, if it can be shown that the landslide is the direct result of heavy rainfall or other sudden catastrophic event, and not caused by pre-existing slope instability
- Forms and additional information

If McCrory was looking like Bev Perdue, you would be singing his praises just like you did so many times with Perdue. Oh, yeah…you put some not-so-favorable comments here on the TAP front page now and again…followed, of course with favorable comments to offset our negativity. But, hey, we all know you couldn't afford to piss off the democrats too much because of that possibly costing you an adviser gig or something.
If the Common Core bill in consideration does, in fact, get to him, I think he'll sign it. I hope he signs it. I'm scratching my head why he is a proponent of it…possibly because he's not wanting the wrath of the teachers association in his reelection bid or maybe he just thinks it's a good thing. Why, I have no clue….and I haven't seen anything from him on why. I think he better take note of which side his bread is buttered on, though, because a whole bunch of we McCrory supporters out here will be SUPER pissed off if he vetoes it if it gets to him.
On the budget, I believe McCrory is just playing a little politics. He's a fiscal conservative and wants certain things in it and by pounding his chest a little, he's sending a signal that some things need to be changed…and, me thinks some will because of that. I can't say enough about how proud I am of McCrory for controlling the budget strings and looking for ways to cut government costs and to eliminate unnecessary jobs and redundancies in NC government. There is lots of B.S. from you Gary and folks like you on what he's done with taxes and what's he's NOT done on taxes (like taxing the wealthy in NC more). Democrats didn't tax the wealthy more either…I've always wondered why no one ever brings that up. And, no…before you even try the tired, old "it's because republicans won't let them", that's just idiotic. Democrats had total control of NC government for EONS. Where were the increased taxes on the rich then? Uh, huh…tough question, isn't it? I'm sure there's some totally obscure case somewhere when it happen sometime in the past…but, c'mon Gary, you know what I'm talking about. It's the same in D.C. When the dems had full control of both houses and the presidency, no increase in taxes on the wealthy. It's only republicans that are the bad guys…..kinda like only white people can be racist. It's ludicrous and I think more and more people are realizing it.
Brings to mind the policy of create a problem then give into the demands of the public to find a government fix to the problem government caused. That in turn will cause other problems for which government can come to the rescue to fix. And the Democrats and Republicans wonder why the rise of The Tea Party.
OOPS….Hit "Add Comment" twice (I'm such a clutz :-). Sorry for the "double post" above, Y'all.
Gary, you think so much like a Democrat that you expect Republicans in executive office to act like lawless quasi-dictators like Comrade Obama. On the contrary, Republicans understand and respect the seperation of powers. Don't expect a Republican Governor to try to run over the legislative branch like Obama has been doing. Unlike the autocratic Democrats, Republicans do have respect for the principles of democracy.
The legislature makes policy and the governor carries it out. The governor can recommend policy to the legislature, but it is the legislature's perogative if they want to accept those recommendations or do something different.

Cooling System Repair in St. Louis, MO
Complete Auto Body and Truck Repair offer Cooling System Maintenance for St. Louis, O'Fallon, Hazelwood, Dellwood, MO.
In order to keep your cooling system working at peak performance, we recommend you have it checked at least once every two years. You should consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific guidelines. Modern automobiles operate in a wide range of temperatures and conditions from well below zero to over 100 degrees F. The fluid used to cool the engine must have a high boiling point, a low freezing point and the ability to transfer heat. Coolant temperatures can sometimes exceed 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Even with antifreeze added, the coolant can boil. It is critical to maintain the proper water-to-antifreeze mixture to eliminate freezing in the winter and reduce the possibility of boiling or over-heating. As well as cooling the engine, coolant contains additives that help prevent rust and corrosion in the system.
The cooling system carries heat away from the engine and maintains the operating temperature by circulating antifreeze / coolant through the engine, and carrying it to the radiator for cooling. It is also responsible for heating the interior of your vehicle, and if the coolant is low, it may not perform as efficiently as it should.
A Cooling System inspection identifies areas that need attention, and consists of the following;
- A radiator cap pressure test to check the recommended pressure level.
- A visual inspection of all the cooling system components, including the radiator, belts and hoses.
- A thermostat check to ensure it opens and closes when appropriate.
- A cooling system pressure test to identify external leaks in the system.
- A hydrostatic test to determine the coolant's protection range.
- An internal leak test to check for combustion gas leakage into the cooling system.
- A visual inspection of the engine oil to check if coolant is mixing with the oil. This may happen if there is a faulty head gasket.
Make your next cooling system repair with our company or other St. Louis, O'Fallon, Hazelwood, and Dellwood, MO auto repair service by one of our qualified specialists! Call your next visit with Complete Auto Body and Truck Repair for your next cooling system replacement.

USPTO Deals Second Strong Blow to Apple's Effort to Patent Bouncing Animations
Jason Mick

Samsung's lawyers push for damages to be vacated amid invalidity findings
In Apple, Inc.'s (
) mind,
it invented much of the technology powering smartphones
and the rest of the industry -- including Google Inc.'s (
) Android -- are
cheap imitations at best
. The company raised eyebrows when it scored a series of patents that appeared to either overlap with preexisting patented art (e.g. smartphone unlocking) or mimic natural phenomena.
I. Another Nail Goes in the Coffin
While current precedent in the U.S. patent system forbids patents on laws of nature, Apple nonetheless appeared to score a very broad patent covering all transient-response style smartphone animations. Perceived as a stretch-and-bounce, these UI animations mirror the mechanical response in real-world objects like springs.
While patenting bouncing animations might seem a bit like if Rovio tried to patent gravity in video games, Apple successfully used the patent to convince a group of Californian jurors that its archrival Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) had "slavishly" copied its intellectual property. Samsung was ordered to pay a hefty
$1.05B USD for the offense
But the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) struck a blow to Apple's litigious dreams last October when it filed a First Office Action to invalidate the controversial
U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381
, citing prior art.
The Samsung Galaxy S II and dozens of other Samsung smartphones were found to infringe on the '381 "bounce" patent, but that patent has now been invalidated.
This week the office put another coffin nail in place for the '381 patent, filing a Final Office Action to kill the patent. In the filing, lead examiner Dennis Bonshock complained that Apple did not sufficiently address the concerns raised in the first invalidation filing.
USPTO Final Office Action in Samsung v. Apple
Apple's sole remaining hope to save the patent is to appeal the decision to the
Patent Trial and Appeal Board
(PTAB), a panel that reviews the office's patent decisions. This is somewhat of a long-shot. While First Office Actions are sometimes rolled back, its rarer to see a Final Office Action reversed.
PTAB decisions can be appealed to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
, but again reversals are extremely rare at that level.
II. '381 Patent was Key in Win Over Samsung
As Samsung was found guilty of infringing the '381 patent on 21 devices -- the Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Fascinate, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S II (AT&T), Galaxy S II (i9100), Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi), Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Mesmerize, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, and Vibrant -- the invalidation could save the Apple's rival hundreds of millions in damages.
Samsung filed notice with
Judge Lucy Koh
of the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
of the invalidation. Samsung's lawyers are urging Judge Koh to vacate the jury verdict, in lieu of the invalidation rulings.
The USPTO has been cleaning house invalidating a number of seemingly broad Apple patents.
U.S. Patent No. 7,844,915
which covers pinch-to-zoom/one-fingered scrolling and
U.S. Patent No. 7,479,949
, which
covers "multitouch heuristics"
have also received
Preliminary Office Actions
from the USPTO invalidating them. The pinch-to-zoom gesture had been developed by university researchers in the 1980s (namely Myron Krueger's team at the
University of Toronto
) and widely publicized, but Apple patented it under the guise of being the first to implement it on a capacitive multi-touch device.

The Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Fascinate, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S II (AT&T), Galaxy S II (i9100), Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi), Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Mesmerize, Nexus S 4G, Transform, and Vibrant -- 21 more Samsung devices -- infringe on the '915 patent.
III. Apple May Lose Most of Its Epic Court Win
Removing those patents, only
U.S. Patent No. 7,864,163
-- a patent on touch UI elements -- remains on the utility side. Fewer Samsung devices were found to infringe on that patent, so asuming the invalidations stick, Samsung would likely pay less than a third of its current utility-sourced damages. Samsung is also on the hook for infringing on Apple's design patents for a handful of devices.
Judge Koh has thus far only agreed to
vacate $450.5M USD of the damage total
and hold a new damages trial, on the grounds that the jury made an error in calculating damages. She has not yet agreed to reevaluate the overall jury verdict, though she did
toss out the jury's assertion
that Samsung's infringement
was "willful"
Judge Koh [Image Source: IB Times]
Samsung argued that it thought the patents it infringed on were invalid and Judge Koh bought that argument. Now it looks like Samsung was right -- a number of the patents are indeed invalid.

"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

Brooklyn Museum Presents AI WEIWEI: ACCORDING TO WHAT?, Now thru 8/10
Ai Weiwei: According to What?-the first North American survey of the work of the provocative Chinese conceptual artist, sculptor, photographer, filmmaker, and activist-will be presented at the Brooklyn Museum from today, April 18 to August 10, 2014. This will be the first large-scale museum exhibition of Ai's work in New York and the final presentation on the exhibition's tour. The Brooklyn Museum will include several major works not seen in previous venues.
Included among the new material is S.A.C.R.E.D., making its first appearance in North America since it debuted to critical acclaim during the Venice Biennale in 2013. Ai created this monumental work in response to his 81-day imprisonment by Chinese authorities in 2011. Each of the six iron boxes that make up the piece contains lifelike fiberglass dioramas of detailed scenes painstakingly reproduced from memory. The work documents and reveals the most painful and intimate moments of Ai's imprisonment, from periods of interrogation to such daily activities as eating, sleeping, showering, and using the toilet.
The Brooklyn presentation will also feature a stunning site-specific installation of bicycles. This installa-
tion is part of a series of works by Ai using bicycles that is related to his childhood experience and to the bicycle's relevance to the lives of most Chinese people.
Also making its debut is an installation of photographs and the personal belongings of Ye Haiyan, a women's rights activist who has been systematically targeted by authorities for her advocacy on behalf of female Chinese sex workers and evicted from her home numerous times. The exhibition will also premiere Stay Home!-Ai's documentary about Liu Ximei, who contracted AIDS as a child after being given an HIV-contaminated blood transfusion at a Chinese hospital.
The work of Ai Weiwei examines the interrelations between art, society, and individual experience while exploring universal topics such as culture, history, politics, and tradition. His practice is interdisciplinary and transcends artistic genres, providing insights into the cultural, historical, and social contexts from which it emerged. Many of Ai's creations address issues of cultural identity, tradition, and craftsmanship, while others engage with more overtly political and social issues. According to What? will feature several large-scale installations, sculpture, photography, and video.
Also included in the exhibition will be several works created as a direct response to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Straight (2008-12) consists of tons of twisted steel rebar-meticulously straightened as if nothing had happened-taken from shoddily constructed buildings, particularly schools, that collapsed during the quake. Snake Ceiling (2009), an installation comprised of hundreds of backpacks in varying sizes and colors to represent children of various ages, refers to the more than five thousand students who perished.
Examples from the artist's repurposed furniture series, in which he reassembles pieces of antique furniture to eliminate the furniture's original function and give it new meaning, are representative of Ai's strong interest in structure and craftsmanship. Among these is China Log (2005), which uses wood from demolished temples of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). This sculpture was assembled using traditional Chinese joinery techniques. When viewed in cross section, it reveals the shape of a map of China.

UPDATE, 11:30 P.M. ET: Jones spoke with Bryant after practice Tuesday.
"One of the reasons I didn't (earlier), because I didn't want to talk to him emotionally. ... I was disappointed," Jones said.
"As a daddy sometimes you're not supposed to spank when you're mad. I wanted to get the information, but also wanted to get my mind right so that we could really have a good talk about this."
Jerry Jones could have drafted Randy Moss in 1998, but the wideout's checkered past led the owner of the Dallas Cowboys to steer clear.
Fourteen years later, we're left to wonder if Jones is starting to question his decision to select WR Dez Bryant, who was also saddled with character questions of his own, 24th overall two years ago.
Bryant was arrested two weeks ago when an alleged domestic dispute with his mother turned physical (she doesn't want to press charges).
Jones is so upset with his talented receiver, he told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas that he hasn't spoken with Bryant since.
"I'm too pissed to talk to him," Jones said.
The company line from the Cowboys had been tepid support of Bryant until all the facts from the case came to light, though we're not entirely sure the memo has reached Jones' office.
"There is no doubt that Dez Bryant is exceptionally talented," Jones said Sunday when the team reported for training camp in Oxnard, Calif. "It has certainly served to give him the consideration that's he's gotten frankly in life. And I think he, like us all, have got to realize where your bread is buttered."

In an effort to salvage their struggling season the Arizona Diamondbacks elect to option outfielder Tony Campana to Triple-A Reno, the 27 year old outfielder played in 23 games this year and batted a low .160 with only two RBI along with Four stolen bases.
To counter that move the D-backs bring up Alfredo Marte from Triple-A Reno for a second stint with the team.
Marte appeared in 22 games last year hitting .186 and adding four RBI.
Marte 's numbers in Triple-A this year are pretty good and the D-backs are hoping they can carry over to the Majors, which isn't easy but worth a try with the dire situation the team is in.
Marte played in 26 games down in the minors this year and was batting .342 with one homer and 11 RBI.
Marte will make his first appearance this season on Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres and he will be batting in the line up against Ian Kennedy, which the d-backs know very well and should have a good outing in this game.
At this juncture the team is desperately trying to paste together a winning combination to at least make some sort of a run to respectability, being 10 plus games under 500 it will not be easy as it will take several winning series to get there.

Contestant Trips And Knocks Over Host On 'The Price Is Right' [VIDEO]
Subscribe to Hot 107.9 on
We have all seen contestants get REALLY excited on game show when they win a major prize, but I can't recall ever seeing a contestant tackle the host on television—until now. Watch what happened when a contestant on the "Price Is Right" fell on the host, George Gray.
The best part of this is when Gray attempts to catch her and he falls back. Lesson learned here, you can't ever stop a contestant that has just won a major prize on a game show, just get out of their way.
I'm sure Gray felt this hit for a minute, and I am certain they had plenty to talk about behind the curtain after the show.

Historical records matching Lucille Ryman Carroll (aka "Jane Starr")
Immediate Family
About Lucille Ryman Carroll (aka "Jane Starr")
Garnett Lucille Ryman Carroll, stage name Jane Starr (June 10, 1906 - October 23, 2002) was an American Broadway actress.
Carroll was born to Dr. Herbert R. Ryman and Cora Belle (Norris) Ryman while her father was a medical student at Kansas State Medical College. Dr. Ryan died in France while a field surgeon during World War I when she was about twelve, and her mother Cora Belle, a schoolteacher, raised the children.
Lucille, as she was known, graduated from Decatur High School, Decatur, IL and went on to Millikin University, where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority and acted in plays. During the following five years, she taught at Assumption High School and Roosevelt Junior High, acting in plays staged by Decatur's Town and Gown Players, a community theater company. Moving to California to study acting at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1931, she won a $1,000 scholarship. She quit her teaching job in Decatur to act in and direct plays at the playhouse, where movie actors graced the stage and directors sought new talent.
Lucille's brother, Herbert Ryman was a prominent Disney imagineer.
Using the stage name Jane Starr, she worked with movie producer Louis O. Macloon at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, demonstrating how motion pictures were made. Macloon, who had recently given an actor named Clark Gable some of his first parts, chose her to star in the Broadway play It Pays to Sin. When the play received scathing reviews and closed, Carroll sought consolation by visiting backstage with Katharine Hepburn, then 26, who had also received terrible reviews while acting in a nearby theater. Instead Hepburn was characteristically blunt. "Then you're not an actress," Hepburn told Carroll. "I don't care what the critics say about me. I know what I am."
Carroll moved to San Francisco, where she and Macloon opened an experimental theater and produced several plays. She married Macloon in 1936. They divorced within a few years. During the 1930s, she traveled throughout the nation as talent scout for Universal Pictures, rising to become head of that studio's talent department in New York.
Carroll headed MGM's talent department from 1941 to 1954 and helped sign a young actress named Lana Turner, helped arrange a key screen test for Marilyn Monroe and played a role in bringing June Allyson and Janet Leigh to MGM. She was one of the few women to reach a position of executive power in the old Hollywood studio system.
At MGM she met John Carroll, a successful actor who had appeared in movies such as Flying Tigers with John Wayne and Go West with the Marx Brothers. They were married in 1947. He died in 1979. Movies made at MGM while Lucille Carroll ran its training department included Singin' in the Rain, Show Boat, Gaslight and Meet Me In St. Louis. While she was there, MGM garnered 16 Academy Award nominations for best picture, winning Oscars for An American in Paris and Mrs. Miniver. In 1942, Hepburn signed a contract with MGM to appear in a picture, Woman of the Year, the first of many in which she appeared with Spencer Tracy. One of Carroll's roles at MGM was as an advisor to established stars such as Hepburn, Tracy, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney and Greer Garson.

A century stand between Chris Rogers (72) and Shane Watson (51) was ominous for the tourists after Michael Clarke had won the toss on a dry, drop-in pitch at the Adelaide Oval.
But James Anderson, without a wicket in the second innings of England's first-Test defeat in Brisbane and likewise for almost 12 overs here, put a spring back in his team's step.
To do so, he had to stoop low with safe hands in his follow-through as Watson tried to straight-drive on the up.
It was hardly England's Plan A for a mode of dismissal, having selected Monty Panesar here as a second spinner and also therefore given Ben Stokes a Test debut.
But at 155 for one, the tourists did not care how a wicket came - and when Rogers then followed some turn from Graeme Swann with hands but not feet, to edge behind, Clarke and Steve Smith had to start again without a run between them.
They did so adequately, until Panesar had his say with a delivery that turned from round the wicket to bowl Smith on the back-foot defence with what was therefore the last ball of the session.
Stuart Broad had seen off the dangerous David Warner during a rain-shortened morning.
Warner was in the mood to try to take this game away from England quickly, but got no further than the eighth over.
The combative opener's intention was clearly to dominate, in an attempt to keep the Ashes momentum with the hosts after their landslide victory at the Gabba.
A crunching off-driven four and one off the back foot over point off Broad were among his four boundaries as he scored 25 of the first 26 runs in company with Rogers.
But Warner's determination to attack brought a false and costly shot as he pushed Broad straight into the hands of point.
A third interruption for rain brought an early lunch, and England had to work hard through an extended afternoon session once Watson and Rogers got comfortable.
The nearest the bowlers came to any success for more than two hours was when Panesar spun one past Rogers' forward-defence and on to his front pad. But umpire Kumar Dharmasena turned down the lbw appeal, and DRS ruled umpire's call to spare the left-hander of 27.
Panesar exerted some control, but after two maidens was planted back over his head for a straight six by Watson, and Swann did not threaten on a slow pitch initially offering spin no more help than seam.
Rogers completed his 50 with a cut off Broad for his eighth four from the 135th ball he faced, and soon afterwards Watson reached the same landmark from 109 deliveries. Yet each paid for an unexpected mistake before tea.

Poster Session during the 2008 NanoBio Symposium at Johns Hopkins University. (left) Noy Bassik

A standing-room-only crowd packed Owens Auditorium of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center May 1 to hear how future cancer detection and treatment will involve tools and therapies designed at the scale of molecules and atoms. More than 500 people attended the annual NanoBio Symposium hosted by the Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) on May 1 and 2 at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Along with Thursday's Nanotechnology for Cancer workshop with 10 Hopkins faculty presenters, the symposium featured talks by distinguished speakers and a poster session representing nano-related research from several university divisions and beyond.
"I think the symposium highlights the importance of not only forming cross- divisional collaborations, but cross-school structures that facilitate our ability to organically look at a problem," said Jonathan Schneck, professor in the School of Medicine departments of Pathology, Oncology, and Medicine and an affiliated member of both the Institute for NanoBioTechnology and the Kimmel Cancer Center. "This sort of cross-fertilization will help the biologists and clinicians define the issues, while asking the engineers what technologies will need to be developed to address them."
Schneck presented a talk during the workshop on how the sugar-binding protein lectin can be used to study tumor cells. Other workshop speakers included professors Kenneth Kinzler, PhD and George Sgouros, PhD; associate professor Anirban Maitra, MD, PhD; and assistant professor Luis Diaz, MD from the School of Medicine. From the Whiting School of Engineering, faculty presenters included professors Peter Searson, PhD and Denis Wirtz, PhD; associate professors Justin Hanes, PhD and Konstantinos Konstantopoulos; and assistant professor Tza-Huei Wang, PhD. All are affiliated faculty members of INBT; Searson and Wirtz are INBT's director and associate director, respectively.
The Friday morning symposium included internationally known scientists from an array of disciplines. Presenters were Donald Ingber, MD, PhD (Harvard Medical School); Andrew Maynard, PhD (Woodrow Wilson Center-Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies); Jeffery Schloss, PhD (National Human Genome Research Institute); Paras Prasad, PhD (University at Buffalo); and Jennifer West, PhD (Rice University). Topics ranged from Maynard's discussion of the societal and environmental impact of nanotechnology to West's description of nanoshells that harness the power of near-infrared light to destroy cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.
More than 100 research projects were displayed at Friday afternoon's poster session. "I don't think there are many places you could go where you could find work of this breadth and depth. It is really impressive," said Ted Poehler, research professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, who recently stepped down from a 15-year-long post as Johns Hopkins Vice Provost for Research. Poehler was instrumental in the launch of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology in 2006.
Representatives from more than 30 businesses participated in the symposium this year, and several, such as nano-tube fabricator Cromoz, Inc. of North Carolina, also displayed research posters.
"The lectures were of very good quality and the questions asked after the sessions were highly informative," said Abdul Allam, founder and president of Cromoz. "Following the talks, the speakers were accessible, which indicates that they are open to collaboration;what matters to me is the work that happens after the symposium."
Five talented students were awarded prized for their scientific endeavors when a panel of judges selected their posters as among the best on display. According to lead judge Michael Edidin, professor of biology in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the top posters represented research that "effectively integrated biology and engineering and involved work on the submicron scale."
Winners were Tim Leong, PhD student, Whiting School of Engineering, Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (1st prize, iPod Nano); Sam Lai, PhD student, Whiting School of Engineering, Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (2nd prize, iPod Nano); Justin Galloway , PhD student, Whiting School of Engineering, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, (3rd prize, 2-year subscription to Nature Nanotechnology); Jim Felton, PhD student, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy (4th prize, 1-year subscription to Nature Nanotechnology); and Noy Bassik, MD, PhD student, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Whiting School of Engineering, Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (5th prize, Nanoparticles for Biomedical Imaging, co-edited by INBT affiliate faculty member Jeff Bulte of the School of Medicine.)
The Institute for NanoBioTechnology gratefully acknowledges those companies that supported the annual NanoBio Symposium. Gold Sponsors included BAE Systems, Medtronic, Northrop Grumman and Terumo Medical Corp. Bronze Sponsors were Airgas and Greater Baltimore Committee. Prize contributors were Nature Nanotechnology, Springer and INBT.
The Institute for NanoBioTechnology wishes to thank everyone for attending and making the second annual NanoBio Symposium a terrific success! The 2009 NanoBio Symposium will be held in late April or early May; please check back soon for a confirmed date.

How to Chop Chocolate
There are many recipes that call for chopped chocolate, from fudgy brownies that need melted chocolate for the batter to chocolate chunk cookies that should be loaded with generously sized pieces. Chopping your own chocolate for baking recipes allows you to have complete control over the chocolate, so you can give yourself very finely-chopped chocolate for a quick and even melt or coarsely-chopped chocolate for ...

It's that time again. The weekend is among us, which means quite a few, if not all of us Fashionistas are in for a fun girl's night out. Whether heading out to eat, going to a movie or hitting the bars, time with the girls is always a great reason to dress to impress! I mean, you just never know who you might run into, right?
Today's Fashionista is perfectly prepared for a night out with the girls. I love her faux leather pants, especially because they're not your typical black pair. I'm currently craving this plum pair from Ruche. You can wear your favorite printed spring top with your colored leather to add some extra pop to your outfit. A cool trend I've been seeing a lot of lately is the pajama shirt being adapted to people's everyday wardrobes. Stores like Topshop and J.Crew have some fun ones.
A girl's night out calls for your comfiest and cutest shoes. I love this Fashionista's nude pumps because they could literally go with just about anything. We all should have at least one go-to pair like these in our closets. Finish your look with a bold, matching lip and some cool statement jewelry (and don't forget to grab a clutch). Charlotte Russe has really impressed me with their jewelry lately, especially the necklaces. They have some very cute, fun and fairly priced pieces that you all just have to check out.
One Simple Change: Decided on a game night instead of a girl's night out? Put your game face on! Instead of heels, wear some sporty tennis shoes or comfy flats, and you'll be set.

Well, after 4+ long years, we finally got a chance to play our first show at the one and only Urban Lounge in our hometown of Salt Lake City — and with none other than our favorite local artist Lorin Walker Madsen! The show was an absolute blast, and we cannot express how grateful we are to all of you who came by to show your support. We will be setting up many more shows in the near future as our new songs get closer to completion so, as always, KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!
Also, for those who are not aware, Lorin is the man behind all of the recording we did on our last two releases (Abandon The Moon and Deal With The Devil), and this show marked the kickoff of one of the last legs the guy's doing on his epic "100 shows in 1 year" tour, so make sure to show him some support if you see him coming through your town!
Love you all,

Radiance of the Seas - Western Caribbean: Radiance of the Seas Cruise Review by mj_goldsmith
Overall Member Rating
Radiance of the Seas - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Cabin: I can't remember the cabin class, but we had an outside cabin on Deck 8 with a small deck that had two chairs and a small table. The room was small (we expected it to be) but nicely furnished with a queen bed, small couch, small oval table and a small desk with mirror and three-shelf cabinet. The closet was large enough and had small corner shelves for shoes, etc. The bathroom was also small but useable. FYI - the towel animals the cabin attendant leaves for you are a nice touch.
Food: We ate breakfast all but one day at the Windjammer on Deck 11. More The food was OK but it got a little repetitious toward the end. They never changed the stations. We had breakfast in the room one day, but the food is really the same as in the Cafe. We also ate most of our lunches at the Windjammer Cafe and again the food was OK, but repetitious. Dinner was by far the best meal, and we ate at the Cascades dining room all but one night. Our waiter Luisito and our server Nicholas were FANTASTIC. We talked with Luisito for about 10 minutes or so every night after dinner and he shared stories with us about life on the ship and his family back at home.
Entertainment: We did not see any of the shows, but my parents saw most of them and they did not seem impressed with many of them. The casino was smaller than we initially expected, but we soon realized that it was never too crowded. The movie theater was a nice bonus, although the movies were all edited for content (no strong language, etc.) much like on an airplane. We played bingo on one of the rainy days and got hooked.
Ports of Call: Key West - A fun destination. Cozumel - Fun, only because we had never been to Mexico. Roatan, Honduras - Depressing. I would NEVER take another cruise that stopped here. If you think you get hounded to purchase things, do NOT go to Roatan. The Hondurans throw themselves at you, sometimes blocking the sidewalk in front of you to get you into there little shack or tent or front yard to buy something. Cayman Islands - We unfortunately could not stop because of the weather.
Overall: We are not sure if we will take another cruise on Royal Caribbean before we try another cruise line. We are interested in trying one of the Princess ships. Less

I DO want to keep the car, a 2001 Seville since 1) it only has 64,000 miles, 2)is in GREAT condition inside and out (except for the motor), and it rides like a dream! (but you already know that!) After 53 years of hotrods, crappy noisy trucks, I NEED to keep it! Imagine me, a Cadillac guy! who'd-a-thunk! There's a place in bellflower that will pull your motor and stud, rebuild and install your motor for $1899. Seems reasonable. I can ship my car for $310, and still save a grand or more. Looking for some suggestions. I'm in Sacramento/ SF Bay Area.:thepan::thepan:

Buried Copper LP Tubing
Is it code that copper tubing used for LP gas must be protected with an outer sleeve?
When my LP gas logs were installed, the person delivering and installing the gas tank ran a flexible copper tube from the tank, underground for five feet then up into the foundation wall. A yellow plastic sleeve was only installed over the tubing at the two points where the copper tubing went underground. At least four feet of tubing has no plastic sleeve.
Was this a lazy attempt to fool anyone looking at the installation into thinking the yellow plastic sleeve was protecting ALL the copper tubing which is underground?
What the installer has done is legal, the pipes you see are sleeves that are required in the code, the piping itself does not need a coating.
As long as he used the proper type of copper, everything should be fine. If this person delivers and hooks up tanks for a living, it is not likely they would install a system that could come back and bite them.

Former Intel Capital director, Eghosa Omoigui, early-stage technology investor, Shadi Mehraein and former VC Finance at Founders Fund, Amber Fowler, all Partners at Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm, EchoVC are currently in Lagos, Nigeria in search of investment opportunities.
In case you don't know, EchoVC has invested into companies such as
Facebook, Pandora and Bit.ly Sourced, and are said to be committing about $30 million into tech start-ups in Sub-Saharan Africa with focus on Consumer Internet & Services, Mobile, Digital Media, Content & Advertising, Software, Services & Infrastructure.
So on the evening of Tuesday, July 24, the trio were special guests at the first-ever investor-entrepreneur drinkup and networking session organised by TechCircle Nigeria, a tech-focused events start-up and held at The Office, the high-class, open-air, rooftop bar at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel.
Dressed simply and neatly in a blue and brown checkered long-sleeved untucked shirt and grey trousers and seated on a single armrest wood furniture chair in-between guests, Omoigui shared his background and experience while investing into Internet companies and gave valuable insights and advice as to what VCs like him look for in ideas and teams before funding them to a gathering of about 45 entrepreneurs.
One of the key highlights of Omoigui's tale was that: "You have to learn how to tell a story", when approaching a VC for funding for your start-up. He gave several examples of entrepreneurs they've invested in, one of which his idea had to be tweaked during the course of discussing the deal, way before the deal was closed.
Later, I asked Omoigui whether he prefers investing into an idea or a team, and he said that as much as the idea is important, a great team is the key to executing a product idea and succeeding at a start-up. When asked whether he found interesting ideas at the event that are worth considering, he said no, but rather he met some interesting entrepreneurs.
I'm guessing that this means that even though these 'interesting' entrepreneurs may not have had the most interesting ideas worth investing into, their ideas could be tweaked or the entrepreneurs themselves could be made to re-channel their energies into other viable and more ambitious ideas which EchoVC could eventually invest into.
Whatever the case, we're excitedly looking forward to EchoVC's presence and can't wait to hear details about its first deal in Nigeria. But more importantly is how this move would impact on the entrepreneurial culture within the Nigerian Internet start-up ecosystem.
It's showtime, folks!

Heidi Klum Talks Divorce, Dating Younger Men With Marie Claire
Posted on January 7, 2013
Heidi Klum covers the February 2013 issue of Marie Claire. In the interview, Heidi talks about her divorce, whether she will marry again and dating younger men.
On Her Divorce From Seal: "People say, 'Oh, God, how devastating to go through a divorce'. "Did I wish for this to happen to my family? No. But everyone is healthy; we're moving on with our lives. If someone got [very sick], God forbid, that would be a real problem. It's not what I wanted - it's not what anyone wanted - but it's not a real problem."
On Whether She Will Marry Again: "I don't think so. No. No. I wanted to keep the memory of our wedding alive every year, that's why I thought it would be fun to get married over and over. But now I don't think it's that important. I'm not angry about anything, but I don't think I will. Maybe if I'm with someone for 15 or 20 years, and we do it in our old age as a fun thing to do. But I don't have the urgency anymore."
On Dating Younger Men: "Younger men train more, and ...it is nice to look at a ripped body. But I am realistic. I'm turning 40 next year; I don't think I could deal with waking up next to a 25-year-old."
Here is a behind-the-scenes video of Heidi's Marie Claire cover shoot:

Big Data technologies have changed the way we collect data, enabling us to handle infinite amounts of data.
In the old model, with relational databases, you first define the schema for what you collect and then put data into that schema, before analyzing it with BI tools. This is how data warehouse and data mining have been used during decades. You first needed to figure out the question, then you collected the data.
Big Data enables you to change that order. Now, you collect unstructured data first, and you ask the question later.
Modern analytics start by collecting everything, and then formulating your question.
This is what Alistair Croll explains in his book and in the slides and charts above.
The new paradigm allows you to search for the "unknown unknowns." In analytics, most good answers will lead to another question. Data driven decisions depend on the ability to ask better questions and then ask again.
Implications for Business
In times of rapid market changes, what differentiates your business is how fast you experiment, how fast you can ask iterative questions and measure your progress, and how fast you readjust your business based on your learnings.
These are the principles behind the lean startup, and behind innovation. The most important metric for modern companies becomes "how fast does your organization learn?"
Big Data changes the cost of making data-driven decisions. It is an enabler for a more disciplined and empirical thinking about innovation and strategy. In that sense, Big Data analytics becomes one more enabler for disruption.

There's a type of holster from Sparks that may help.
Milt Sparks "The #1 Heritage" (copied this description from their website).
Please read:
"The idea was to create an all leather IWB holster that would offer the holstered weapon protection from body perspiration in a hot humid environment. To provide the moisture protection, a waterproof liner is placed on the body side of the holster between the thin leather, inner and outer shell. "
I have this particular holster and it's one of my best (in quality).
This is different from Sparks' Summer Special 2 which has similar looks. You would have to hold one of these to appreciate the uniqueness of this holster. Notice how smooth also slippery like leather (same inside the holster), which makes me believe that it's specifically made to deal with HUMIDITY.

Hello all,
This is my first post in shotgun forum, but I have other post throughout the site. About 4 years ago, I received a remington 870 express magnum (fires 2,3,and 3.5 inch shells) as a birthday gift. As of the past few times at the range I have noticed that it will not grab the shells out of the magazine and load them into the chamber. I have used all three shell lengths and used steel, lead, and buckshot to test this and it will not work with any of the shells. I have also used high and low brass shells if that matters. The gun has a 26 inch barrel and has skyline camo on it. Can anyone help me diagnose or fix this problem??? Sorry if this was a little wordy, just wanted everyone to have the details of the gun. P.S. I have read other post with issue and the only differece is that mine is not hard to pump at all. Thanks, Corey
