Submission + - AMD Demos Live Migration Across Three Opterons (hothardware.com)
bigwophh writes: "Advanced Micro Devices has just revealed to the public the first video and images demonstrating live migration across three generations of AMD Opteron processors on VMware ESX 3.5, including the six-core AMD Opteron processor, often referred to as "Istanbul." For those unaware of the strains in a server environment, live migration of virtual machines across physical servers is crucial to providing flexibility for managing data centers. AMD is also taking this opportunity to highlight its continued, cooperative development efforts with Microsoft as evidenced in Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, which just also happens to be available today in beta form, that adds support for AMD-V technology with Rapid Virtualization Indexing. Images and video of the demonstration are available in this story."

Size: LARGE
Color: Gold and grey.
Condition: Like New / VERY lightly used.
Comes with a Mystery Ranch Wet Rib (Sage Green)
Price: $150
I took it out on a couple of brief "backpacking trips" with my boys to show them how to set up a campsite. (Read that as I walked a little ways into a park a few times with my kids to set up the hammock, make hot chocolate, and eat lunch)
This is a fantastic pack. I can't say enough nice things about it! Though I never carried it any real distance, I can say that from the perspective of a guy who has used a LOT of packs, this one is great. It is lightweight, solidly built, and carries loads extremely comfortably. It's a size I'd use for a good 3-5 day outing. I'd classify it as a top-loader. It does have some side access zippers (which I honestly doubt I'd ever use). A really nice feature about it is it has a gear beavertail with a zippered compartment where I"d store my snivel gear. If I didn't really use my BIG pack the vast majority of the time (Mystery Ranch Grizzly), I'd be keeping this one. It's that nice. My only complaint about it is the lack of water bottle side sleeves. Anyway, I solved that issue with a Mystery Ranch Wet Rib.
I think it really makes the whole package complete so I'm sending it along with the pack. It's pretty slick the Z55 does have a water bladder sleeve in the main compartment with hose routing ports if you choose to use camelbacks or Source bladders.
The only reason I'm selling my Z55 with Wet Rib in the first place is because my two sons just joined a very active Cub Scout den and it's time to get them their first real backpacks of their own. So... I'm looking to defray the cost a bit. If I can get about $150 for it it would really help. I'll post pictures as soon as I find the charger for my camera battery.

Chris Economaki, working for ABC-TV's Wide World of Sports, talks with drag race driver Shirley Muldowney.
Long-time racing journalist Chris Economaki dies: Influenced racing coverage in print, on TV for decades
September 27, 2012
UPDATE: Whoever you are, wherever you are, take a moment to think of Chris Economaki. Make it your personal tribute, however brief, to this grand old man of auto racing journalists because he left us late Thursday, Sept. 27 at age 91, and he left a hole in the motorsports firmament that can never be filled.
Whether you have ever read National Speed Sport News before or are a longtime subscriber, whether you realize it or not, a portion of your outlook regarding automobile racing has been formed by his weekly column. It was required reading for any serious racing journalist in this country, and his opinions invariably had some influence on all of us. We knew that he knew. He may have been a pedestrian writer, but as a reporter, commentator and interpreter of events, he had no peer.
What is perhaps even more important is that he knew how to evaluate motorsports as a reflection of the social conditions of a particular era. It was a rare talent that would normally require someone with a doctorate in sociology. Chris didn't have a college degree, but he was more erudite and more knowledgeable about the world around him than most people who have letters after their name.
The use of superlatives is inherently dangerous, as someone always seems to come along who knows of one bigger or faster, or whatever, but in the case of Chris it is a safe bet to say he was the most knowledgeable racing authority of all time, having spent nearly eight decades involved in--and in love with--a sport he saw grow from a county fair attraction to a staple of television programming on a worldwide basis.
To look at it one way, his passing was inevitable; all of us shall accomplish this sooner or later. What was important is how he lived, and that was spectacular. He was one of a kind: brash, funny, marvelously articulate. A great story teller, even in his 80s he could still outwork the younger competition. He had connections with anyone--and seemingly everyone--involved in the sport, from the top to the bottom of the racing food chain, from the smallest back-country dirt track to Indianapolis and Daytona.
Chris leaves behind two daughters, two grandchildren, a host of friends and admirers all over the globe, and left the National Speed Sport News, of which he was the heart and soul. He was there at the beginning in 1934, when as a 13-year-old he stumbled across its first issue being printed in a storefront in Ridgewood, N.J. He did everything from delivering it and hawking it at race tracks to becoming a correspondent, then editor in 1950 and later publisher, part owner and eventually editor and publisher emeritus, of the country's premier newspaper devoted strictly to competitive motorsports.

Chris Economaki, shown in 2010, began watching car racing in the 1930s.
For the breadth of his career, try this: In 1936, while still in high school in Ridgewood, he hitchhiked to Long Island to watch Tazio Nuvolari win the 1936 Vanderbilt Cup. And he was still with us when Dario Franchitti won this year's Indianapolis 500. He saw his first 500, incidentally, in 1938.
He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1920 as a child of well-to-do parents whose fortunes were wiped out in the stock market crash of 1929, and who more or less came apart at the seams during the '30s. As such, he grew up on his own during the Depression, and although he went on to become successful financially, there was a side, hidden for the most part, that showed he never forgot the hard times of his youth. When he would leave a room, he would turn out the lights. It was a small thing, but it was indicative.
Chris spent his teenage years in north New Jersey.
He covered races all over the world, but his heart lay with the eastern dirt tracks of his youth--when, as he used to point out, before World War II there were only two paved ovals in America of more than a half mile, Indianapolis being one and Thompson, Conn.--five-eighths of a mile--the other. (Who else would know this?)
In the 1930s, racing cars were primitive creations and their ability to win lay more with their drivers than their designers. As a consequence, although he understood the advance of technology better than 90 percent of his colleagues, he always preferred the two-leaf spring, three-spring, four-spring single seaters of the '30s, cars that made the driver the determining factor, as opposed to the technical marvels of today that effectively rule out all but one or two entries in almost every event.
He worked with ABC's Wide World of Sports; he was with CBS and ESPN; and it can be said he was one of the catalysts in bringing television to racing. It is not an oversimplification to say he knew racing and knew how to speak about it, and when the networks began paying attention he was there.
In one sense, when you think of it, he was everywhere. From being an errand boy at Paterson, N.J.'s "Gasoline Alley" in the '30s, when garages could be rented for $1 a month, to the Avus in Berlin, when Sgt. Economaki of the 2nd Armored Division took his Jeep around the German circuit the week after VE Day, to Havana when Juan Manuel Fangio was kidnapped in 1960, to hundreds of those minor-league dirt ovals.
After all, there was always the chance he might find another Bob Swanson, who was always on his list of the finest drivers he had ever seen. Swanson was a midget driver in the '30s, who ran wheel-to-wheel with Nuvolari at the Vanderbilt Cup, and who was killed in a race in Toledo, Ohio, in 1940.
But Chris never forgot him.
Chris won't be forgotten, either.
UPDATE: Reactions to the death of Chris Economaki
"All of us at Ford Motor Company are sorry to hear of Chris Economaki's passing last night. He was an icon of the sport of auto racing and a familiar, knowledgeable face and voice to millions of race fans around the world. His influence on the growth of auto racing in the United States cannot be underestimated. National Speed Sport News covered everything from the greatest drivers around the globe to the local short trackers who competed for their families and fans around this country. Chris respected and loved them all, and they loved him back." -- Edsel B. Ford II, member, Board of Directors, Ford Motor Co.
"Chris' passing marks the end of a great era of auto racing and how it was covered in this country. He truly loved the sport, probably more than any journalist I knew, but he also loved the people who made up the sport, and was quick to tell a great story, say a kind word to those new to the sport, and hold court on any subject the sport could dish out. I'll miss that great voice, and the fabulous stories, the Monday morning calls as he was finishing his weekly column, and, of course, the manual typewriter that every media center kept for him. His influence on the media, and the PR people who work in the sport, will never be matched." -- Kevin Kennedy, director, Ford Racing Communications
"The passing of Chris Economaki is a tough loss for me on both a personal and professional level, having known Chris throughout my life. Many people consider Chris the greatest motorsports journalist of all time. He was, indeed, 'the Dean.' Chris was a fixture for years at NASCAR events, and played a huge role in growing NASCAR's popularity. I'll miss seeing him and of course, I'll miss hearing that voice. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughters Corinne and Tina and the rest of Chris' family." -- Brian France, CEO, NASCAR
"Chris was the dean of motorsports journalism. His accurate, incisive reporting helped increase the audience of the sport and put the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, its events and competitors into the global spotlight. He set a standard for others to follow for generations and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts, sympathies and prayers are with his family and friends." --Jeff Belskus, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation president and CEO. In 2006, the Trackside Conference Room at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Media Center was renamed the Economaki Press Conference Room in honor of Economaki's legendary accomplishments.
"Chris Economaki made an impact in motorsports like no other. He was a trailblazer in journalism, and his passion and depth of knowledge across the spectrum of world-wide racing brought the sport to life for millions of fans. His contributions have been endless, and he will be deeply missed. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Chevrolet and Cadillac Racing are with his family and friends."--Jim Campbell, U.S. Vice President Performance Vehicles and Motorsports.
"It's definitely sad news (because) at 91, he did so much for all of motorsports. I think many generations of race fans and racers and everybody in between has an 'Economaki moment' and remembers hearing his voice and seeing him on television and maybe meeting him. Everything he's done for motorsports is making me so thankful for what he contributed to our sport and his passion and dedication for our sport." –-Five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson.
"I think the first time I remember him was in '64 in Daytona Beach. Me and Richard and Maurine were so much younger then, and we had a really good car and a good motor for the 500. Richard comes in for a pit stop and I look up and Chris is over the wall with us, trying to talk to Richard through the window. I mean, he was right there, over the wall trying to interview Richard during a pit stop. I'll tell you, even though he came from up here (the Northeast), everybody in stock car racing respected him. He was pushy and didn't mind that he was. He was the first one to dig out the nitty-gritty. Until then, everybody just went for the nitty. I'll tell you, Chris was one of a kind. –-Eight-time NASCAR championship-winning crew chief Dale Inman.
"I was a kid, watching on TV and listening to that voice. The first time he interviewed me it was like, 'Wow!' because I had grown up watching him and reading his stuff and watching him walking by with his typewriter. And I mean, literally, carrying a typewriter. To me, back then, he represented not just one generation, but two generations that pioneered racing coverage. I was racing against drivers I'd grown up watching, but Chris was a generation ahead of those guys. To me, from a media standpoint, he was the start of everything. And that voice… you definitely knew who you were listening to." –-Sprint Cup driver Jeff Burton.
"It's a huge loss, as well as [Hoosier Racing Tire president] Bob Newton, who passed three or four days ago. When I think about my early racing career … what an impact they made. National Speed Sport News is something I read religiously. Chris did a lot for that newspaper and for motorsports, and he was passionate about all of it. The last time I saw him was earlier this year and all he thought about was racing. He cared so much about what was happening in this sport and wanted to make a difference and wanted to get those stories out there. It's not very often you come across somebody that puts their heart and soul and entire life mission into that. So it's a big loss, as well as Bob Newton with Hoosier Tire, who really changed what short- track racing is today. His efforts and that family certainly made a big impact on my life, and racing, and what I raced on for years before I ever got to the Cup series. So we've had two big losses this week." –-Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon
"Chris was the most premier auto racing journalist who ever was and ever will be. We'll never again see someone as incredibly diverse and successful at his craft. Chris was every bit as at home with a microphone at a local short track as he was covering the Indianapolis 500 or Daytona 500. I had a conversation with Chris regarding how I could improve my performance. Chris said simply, 'Ask a good question.' How appropriate today when some journalists make a statement to the driver or athlete and expect him or her to agree. But they don't ask a question. When I first became a fulltime motorsports journalist, it was as editor of Stock Car Racing. At the time, National Speed Sport News arrived on my doorstep on Thursdays. I quickly made a habit of not answering my telephone until I'd read his column because so many of the calls that came in on Thursdays were about what he had written. He was so powerful and influential for so many years." –-Dr. Dick Berggren, motorsports journalist.
"Along with the rest of the racing world, we mourn the passing of one of the deans of motorsports journalism, Chris Economaki. Chris was a passionate promoter of his beloved sport--a sport he literally grew up promoting, whether it was as a boy hawking programs at his native Ho Ho Kus, N.J., Speedway, to showing off the sport to millions on ABC's Wide World of Sports. In the days before the Internet, one of the best channels to keep up with the inside information on auto racing of all kinds was his weekly column, "The Editor's Notebook." We have many, many fond memories of Chris, who was always ready with a joke and a story. His passing is a loss to the world of motorsports. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his daughters and their families."--Scott Atherton, President and CEO, American LeMans Series
"Chris Economaki, in addition to being universally respected and recognized as the dean of motorsports journalism, was vitally instrumental in establishing and reinforcing ARCA's credibility by virtue of his coverage of our series. National Speed Sport News was there for our inaugural MARC race at Dayton Speedway on May 10, 1953, and every newsworthy event thereafter, playing a significant role in our growth and success as a racing company over these past 60 years. All of us in the ARCA community express our appreciation for Chris and his dedication to the racing industry. We send our best wishes to his family and his extended National Speed Sport News family at this time."--Ron Drager, president and CEO, ARCA Racing Series
"The entire NHRA community is saddened to learn of the passing of Chris Economaki. He and NHRA founder Wally Parks were great friends, and Wally always appreciated Chris' efforts to recognize the power and intense competition of NHRA drag racing. He was a familiar face in the pits at NHRA events throughout the years and worked as a pit reporter for ABC's coverage of the sport in the 1960s and '70s. We send our condolences to his immediate family, his many friends and colleagues and his legion of fans in the world of motorsports."--Tom Compton, president NHRA.
Editor's note: Leo Levine is a former race car driver, author of Ford: The Dust and The Glory, and worked for 20 years as a general manager at Mercedes-Benz in the United States.

History: Willamette River Sampling
The City of Portland began monitoring Willamette River water quality in the city limits in 1949 and periodically monitored the river for the next 40 years. In 1992, the Bureau of Environmental Services began regular water quality sampling. Environmental Services switched from monitoring fecal coliform to the E. coli standard in 1996 to comply with changes in state regulations.
The Environmental Services Field Operations section collects water samples each month at three locations on the Willamette River for long-term water quality trend analysis. Field staff usually collect samples in the first week of each month for nutrients, metals and bacteria.
From May to October, field staff also collect weekly samples from five recreational areas to give the public more frequent information about bacteria and temperature at Willamette River public access points.
Contact the Investigations and Monitoring Services section to request additional water quality data or for more information about Environmental Services water quality monitoring.

"Mackey Family" -- For the past 25 years, Consuela Mackey has tirelessly helped those living with disabilities by providing them with job training, individualized training in personal care and education on workplace etiquette. Since she has devoted most of her life to helping others, it was long overdue for something extremely nice to be done for her. When the team from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" came to Consuela's house in Granada Hills, California, they were able to give something back to an individual who has sacrificed so much for her community. The episode airs SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
Consuela is the founder of the non-profit organization Operation Confidence which, as of 2004, has helped almost 10,000 disabled individuals find gainful employment and assimilate into the workplace. But her efforts to help the disabled don't stop when she gets home; as an example of how she sacrifices her own happiness and comfort to help others, when one of the people she works with needs a place to spend the night, Consuela selflessly gives up her own bed and sleeps in a chair.
Consuela has had many foster kids over the years, and has raised her grandson since he was a baby. She took in her niece when the girl was just six years old, and most recently brought her visually impaired sister, Sandra Lawson -- along with Sandra's teen-aged daughter, Georgia -- down from Sacramento to live with her. Consuela has been using her knowledge and resources to educate her sister about technology that's available to facilitate life with partial vision. The family, in turn, is involved with all of Consuela's projects, and look to her for guidance and advice in their daily lives.
A beauty shop business is Consuela's sole source of income, the money going towards caring for her extended family and continuing Operation Confidence's community efforts. With such limited funds and with all of her time taken up by her non-stop philanthropic activities, Consuela has had no opportunity to tend to the upkeep of her own house.
While the team of designers, contractors and over 400 workers transformed her ranch-style, one-level home into a decorator's delight, Consuela, along with her 14-year-old grandson, Eric Jones, sister Sandra and Sandra's 16-year-old daughter, Georgia, and Consuela's niece, Valada Smith, 26, went on a seven-day vacation to Playa del Carmen, Mexico and stayed at the Viva Wyndham Hotel.
For this "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," the design team features team leader Ty Pennington and designers Paul DiMeo, Paige Hemmis, Tracy Hutson, Michael Moloney and Constance Ramos. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. The series is executive-produced by Tom Forman.
This program carries a TV-PG parental guideline.

CRANDALL, Texas --
The track will continue to operate as normal under the direction of Adcock and will host the Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour presented by AMSOIL, an event that was originally scheduled for May at Dallas Raceway, the weekend of July 12-14. The track will also host the Summit Team Finals event as scheduled in September.
"We are very glad to hear that everything has been resolved and that Dallas Raceway will continue to be a part of the IHRA family," said Frank Kohutek, IHRA Division 4 Director. "Dallas Raceway is a wonderful facility run by some great people and the track has developed quite a loyal following over the years. We welcome Mike back to the IHRA family. On behalf of IHRA and the racers in Division 4, we want to personally thank Mike for stepping up and saving Dallas Raceway and giving the facility an opportunity to be successful."
Mike and Sharon, his wife of 38 years, will take over as sole-owners and operators of Dallas Raceway effective immediately. Adcock was involved with the construction of the track when it first opened in 2009 with the hopes of turning Dallas Raceway into one of the top drag racing facilities in north Texas.
Adcock also owns and operates a construction company servicing the hospitality industry in hotel renovations across the country along with his brothers Denny and Gary and longtime friend Randy Wilson.
Adcock became of fan of drag racing in 1975 with his first pass down the track at Cedar Creek behind the wheel of a beautiful '69 Chevrolet Camaro. Since then Adcock has raced against some of the best in the business and has continued to learn from these great drivers in the north Texas area.
"We are very much looking forward to seeing our numerous friends back out at the track as well as the many new racers we are sure to meet," Adcock said. "Hopefully this will only help grow the facility as we strive to provide one of the top racing facilities in the state."
Racing at Dallas Raceway will resume this month.
For more information on Dallas Raceway and the rescheduled Summit Pro-Am event, check back with www.ihra.com for complete details.

1.) When Bella compared being hunted by Victoria this spring break to being hunted by James last spring break, what did you think might happen?
Well,.. I expected there to be some big fight between the werewolves and Victoria at some point.
2.) What did you think about Jacob calling himself a monster?
It was weird. I was so used to Edward calling himself a monster, now there is a different type of monster. I understand why Jacob might think of himself like that, but he is doing something great.
3.) What did you think about Jacob's reaction when he realized Bella had been bitten by James? What do you think he was thinking at the time?
He probably thought she was a vampire? Which,.. he probably would have noticed if she was a vampire by now,.. but sometimes even though you know the anwser, when someone says something you don't expect you could question it.
4.) How did you feel when Bella told Jacob about the Cullens' extra abilities? Do you think she should or shouldn't have given him so much information?
Definitely not! She shouldn't have told him. She even realized that maybe he was just trying to get information out of her, not in a friend way but a wolf way. The Cullens had their own secret and even if the werewolves do know about it,.. it isn't her secret to share their special things.
5.) What were you thinking when Bella jumped off the cliff? When she saw Edward in the water? Did you think, as she did, that she was about to die?
YES! Obiviously there was still a quarter of the book left,. but I thought maybe just maybe she was going to die! I really liked the last half of this chapter (not because I thought she was gonna die,.. but because of everything that was happening).

Houston, we have a problem!
At one time NASA was involved with extending mankind's knowledge through space exploration. With the historic flight of Apollo 11 in 1969, the space agency celebrated its proudest moment as the world watched Neil Armstrong and then Buzz Aldrin step out onto the surface of the moon.
Lately, however, NASA seems to be more concerned with looking for life elsewhere in the universe to help prove that evolution is true. And more recently, NASA has embarked on an exciting mission to reach not Mars but to reach out to the Muslim world to make them feel good about their scientific contributions.
We're referring to a recent interview – given by NASA Administrator Charles Bolden to Al Jazeera rather than to the people of America – about his marching orders from the president:
"When I became the NASA administrator – or before I became the NASA administrator – he [Obama] charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering."
Bolden denied that this outreach to Muslims was a diplomatic mission for the space agency. So what was the reason for the mission? Bolden said that the United States is not going to travel beyond low-Earth orbit on its own and that no country is going to make it to Mars without international help.
Isn't that wonderful? While America was once able to put a man on the moon without international help, we are no longer able to do so. Frankly, Creation Moments is not surprised. Long gone are the days when astronauts proudly planted a U.S. flag on the moon. Though funded by U.S. taxpayers, NASA's political agenda is now planted solidly on globalism.
Those are our thoughts. What are yours?
It seems that NASA has lost their way. Instead of exploring space, the head (who seems to be a puppet for President Obama) wants to change the organization to an educational and political arm of the administration. As far as their desire to look for evidence for evolution, they have done this for years. Problem is every time they look they have more questions instead of answers. For example, have you ever noticed that from the very beginning Neil Armstrong had to jump quite a distance down from the Lunar Lander to the surface of the moon. (Take a look at the old videos of the first steps on the moon.) Why was this? It seems based on the belief that the age of the moon and our solar system was old that NASA scientist were expecting much more dust on the moon's surface than they actually found - several feet instead of a few inches. So Mr. Armstrong took quite a leap. Instead of shortening the age of the moon, they revised their calculations on the deposition rate of the dust to match what they found. Some thinking is just hard to let go of. At least in the past, NASA had a meaningful goal and space technology created new and interesting technology and products. It seems NASA has now lost their way - one might say even lost in political space. Let's get back to NASA's (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) original purpose of exploring our solar system and space beyond and leave the promotion of feel-good education to the educators. It seems that President Obama was talking to the wrong director.
Isn't it funny how America is suddenly so feeble that she can't act without the consent and help of other nations? Despite advances in technology, we have no ability to achieve what we were able to accomplish 40 years ago. Talk about putting America down instead of bringing her up. And our tax dollars are going to pay for this?
What? Our tax dollars are going to make other nations feel good about their historic contributions to math and engineering? Why should that be part of the bill America has to pay? I thought space exploration was about exploring space, not about emptying our pocketbooks to bolster the ego of other nations.
Once America wanted to beat other nations into space. Now she wants to spend her resources convincing other nations they are superior to her. This is worse than a waste of taxpayers' money. It's a shameful disgrace.
The evolutionist agenda spoils any scientific discoveries we might make. Instead of looking at facts, NASA is looking at how to make the facts fit in with evolutionism. Scientists take a universe that is amazingly designed and say it had to come about by accident. The search for alien life is an attempt to verify that evolution has taken place elsewhere, so all that you see came about by a random, undirected process. It basically an attempt to "disprove" the existence of a Creator, even when faced with the overwhelming evidence of His hand in everything. That's a pretty ignorant and ungrateful mindset, especially from America, who owes her freedom to the Supreme Judge of Heaven and Earth.
Erm, Americas freedom came from bloody battles against the British. Then America was soundly built on the principle that the nation is free from any influence of religion in running the country.
Obama's talking point version may indeed have been, "to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science,.... and math and engineering," but the fact is, they have made no contribution to science, math or engineering. It is more appropriate to assume Obama's intention is to transfer as much technology to the Muslim community as he can before he gets thrown out of office at the polls and as with everything else he's doing, to do so on 'our' dollar.
With all due respect, the Arab world had a lot to do with math. Babylon and Egypt alone demonstrated this, not to mention the greater Arab region. Even my 7th grader knows this. The islamic Golden Age (600-1600) produced an abundance of math and science advances. This is basic history, friend. Start here and verify on your own:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_mathematics#Importance
While I agree that the Muslim world had input in the mathematics and science of this world, it is NOT the job of the head of NASA to confer with them about their contributions. He has a duty, yes a duty, to report to the American people, who have and are now supporting this space endeavor with our tax $$$$$.
It is not his place to make the Muslims 'feel good about their participation in these fields", they have their own to make them feel good about what they have done.
We have ceased to be the strongest nation in the world, to a downed nation, and according to our President, a country to be ashamed for standing for the right to exist. We have helped so many other countries, even those that opposed us, as the Muslims do, and we get slapped in the face by our own President whenever he speaks in other countries.
I for one don't agree that we need to apologize for anything...we are the United States of America, and we became strong because of our people standing behind our nation. We should stand now and be counted as one. God bless America!!!!!
You have to quote wikipedia? You could have posted that quotation yourself. Why did the "Islamic Golden Age" end in 1600? (BTW others say that it ended much sooner.)
They had 1400 years to invent the light bulb, the locomotive, the airplane etc. Yet all these were invented after the Protestant Reformation and after the American Revolution. Hmmm!
In a word .Awesome! Truly inspirational viedos and really well made.As a high school math teacher in New York, I agree with everything that she has to say about the high school math curriculum. It tends to ignore most of the really interesting, inspirational, fun elements of mathematics and instead presents it as a dull, disconnected series of topics and skills that need to be covered before the test . The curriculum is taylor made to make even the most wide-eyed and curious students hate mathematics and it does not promote dynamic teaching. I hope that, at some point in my 30-year career, the state will start empowering teachers to have some say in how we present mathematics to our students. No more rigid, state imposed math curricula. Let's start the revolution.
This is the path that America is on. First, she denies her God. Then she follows after every false idol that men have. Do you know what we need to do to reach out to the Muslim world? We need the gospel message. That has eternal weight and value. Giving them a pat on the back for scientific achievements is a stupid waste of money.
I have not read all the comments posted on this topic but I would like to draw your attention to the last statement in this article. "NASA's political agenda is now planted solidly on globalism"
I realize what I am about to share maybe a difficult pill to swallow it was for me at first then the worlds of Jesus came to memory there he was standing before the ruling arm of the province at that time Pilot and he was asked are you a king then? and he replied "My Kingdom Is Not Of This World" and in another place it states Satan is the king of this world taking them captive at his will. and in an other place it says "He the Lord hardens who he wills"
the word Globalism when understood in it's proper context implies a group of interlocking organizations the IMF CFR RAND CORP TRILATERAL COMMISSION G7 the Committee OF 300 the Black nobility the Builderburg group etc. who' sol agenda is the complete pillage and control of all the the worlds resources through cleverly devised instruments of Debt and Finance such as derivatives and banking oligarchy. manipulation of the markets and distortion of true science and history and the complete destruction of the family which is the building blocks of society and it' foundation Christiandom. organizations such as planed parenthood and the women's liberation movement both funded by the Rockefeller Foundation have been very instrumental in this.
One thing seems very certain Gods word teaches that toward the end knowledge shall increase in all areas.
and thanks to the internet it has that said if you really want to know why Obama made such an odd request to Mr.Bolden I invite you to see the Obama Deception free on youtube. Q: why did the Lord say the children of this world are in their generation wiser then the children of light?
"Though funded by U.S. taxpayers, NASA's political agenda is now planted solidly on globalism."
I'm glad you notice.

Willinet will be showing two meetings — planning and Mount Greylock's school building committee — live on Channel's 16 and 17 at 7. The Affordable Housing Committee, also at 7, will be taped for delayed broadcast.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Concerned citizens are going to be giving their VCRs and DVRs a workout tonight.
The town has three meetings running concurrently at 7 p.m. in two different locations. Two of the sessions will be telecast live on the town's community access television station, and the other will be telecast on tape as soon as Wednesday.
WilliNet Executive Director Debby Dane on Monday said the station will air Tuesday's meeting of the Mount Greylock Regional High School Building Subcommittee live on Channel 16 while it also provides live coverage of the Planning Board meeting on Channel 17.
The third meeting — of the Affordable Housing Committee — will be shown later on Channel 16 and on the station's website, willinet.org, hopefully by Thursday.
The high school's building subcommittee is scheduled to give a final review of the district's latest Statement of Interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority. It plans to have the request in shape to present to the MGRS Committee at its Feb. 26 meeting.
The Planning Board plans to discuss zoning changes in the town's Village Tourist Business zone.
The Affordable Housing Committee will be holding a face-to-face meeting with John Ryan, the development consultant the committee hired to do a housing needs assessment for the town. The panel also will be considering a rent increase request from Scarafoni Associates, the developer of the Church Corner housing project the town fostered at the former St. Raphael's Church and Rectory at the corner of Church Street and Cole Avenue.

The news that police are investigating Ashland resident James Auchincloss, half-brother to the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Eagle Point resident Dennis Vickoren for possession of child pornography has left many locals shocked and upset.
Since publishing the story a week ago today, the Daily Tidings has been inundated with e-mails and phone calls from concerned locals. Some want to know why the news wasn't reported sooner — and others wonder why it was reported at all.
"My immediate reaction was indignation. I know James. He's a very generous, kind person and I was appalled that you could put this in the newspaper without any charges being filed," said Ashland resident June Rachles.
Daily Tidings City Editor Myles Murphy said the newspaper decided to publish the story because editors felt locals had a right to know about the child porn investigation.
"This was not a story we could sweep under the carpet," he said. "A well-known man in position of authority with at least one local group that works with children was being looked at by police in an investigation related to child pornography. People had a right to know what was going on."
The newspaper obtained search warrant documents pertaining to the investigation last month, although officials searched Auchincloss' and Vickoren's homes last October.
Despite evidence that the men also have taken photographs of clothed children locally, police said the case has not been given a high priority because they believe there is no immediate threat. Neither man has been charged.
The Daily Tidings story was picked up by several news outlets last week, including the Associated Press, resulting in the dissemination of the story worldwide.
Some Ashland residents, such as Gerald Cavanaugh, worry that Auchincloss will be unable to avoid the stigma of being associated with child pornography — even if it turns out the allegations are untrue.
"It will be very difficult for him — not that it's impossible for him — to get through this without some sort of black mark against him, however accurate it is," Cavanaugh said. "I just think the newspaper made a mistake in bringing him into it."
Others, such as Karmin Davis, say they're glad the investigation was brought to light.
"I thank the men who notified the police because I think a lot of the time people will turn their eye from a lot of that," she said. "As a person who has raised children and has been around children, I was horrified that this person who actually lived fairly close to me was involved in this."

Solid-Phase Synthesis of Sequence-Defined T-, i-, and U-Shape Polymers for pDNA and siRNA Delivery
D. Schaffert, C. Troiber, E. E. Salcher, T. Fröhlich, I. Martin, N. Badgujar, C. Dohmen, D. Edinger, R. Kläger, G. Maiwald, K. Farkasova, S. Seeber, K. Jahn-Hofmann, P. Hadwiger, E. Wagner -
Angew. Chem. Int. Edition, Vol. 50 (38), pp. 8986-8989, 2011
Viral proteins are far more effective in mediating the transport of viral nucleic acids into cells than the currently available synthetic polymers for gene transfer. To mimic viral delivery processes, functional domains such as endosomolytic agents and targeting ligands have been conjugated to polymers. The chemistry of such conjugates, however, lacks the molecular precision of sequence-defined viral proteins, regarding both the polydispersity of the polymer and the conjugation sites. The common practice to apply such polydisperse mixtures in transfections may obscure accurate structureactivity relationships. It is questionable whether polydisperse macromolecules will ever compete successfully with their viral counterparts. Herein we communicate on the solid-phase-supported synthesis of a small library of sequence-defined polymers and their use for pDNA and siRNA delivery.

We're off today to return Sparky, our fluffy little houseguest, to his rightful family. As always, we had a fine old time babysitting the pooch, who is still getting around great in spite of his advancing years. In fact, Sparky had a rousing play session the other night with Hudson the wonder dog that has really pushed me towards thinking she would appreciate another dog in the house as a playmate. Terriers have a very independent nature, and when this topic has come up in the past, we've been able to see a good case for why she actually preferred being the lone wolf, but at this point I really think overall she'd prefer the company. When this topic comes up I refer to the idea as getting Hudson a pet, but I'm pretty sure I'd still have to be the one to walk it.

Healthy Fare that's In Demand
C&U operators dish about nutritious food that faculty and students crave.
White Bean Patty,
Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y.
The White Bean Patty with Fruit Salsa tops the list at Syracuse University, where the foodservice department operates 31 units, including five residential dining centers that service approximately 7,000 meal plan students. Ruth Sullivan, R.D., campus dietitian, developed the recipe in partnership with a dining center manager in an effort to increase the number of vegan patties served.
First introduced in the summer of 2009, the dish is "the most popular vegetarian item on the menu and we make several batches throughout the meal period," says Sullivan. When tested against other vegan and vegetarian options, the White Bean Patty came out a favorite, she says. It's served in all the residential dining centers and marketed through the on-line menu, the Meatless Monday campaign and the dining mobile app. What makes this item so popular? "The patty offers a nice flavor and, when coupled with the spicy, cold fruit salsa, it makes a great combination," says Sullivan.

Melton Lake Drive was closed for almost two hours late Saturday afternoon following a motor vehicle crash that included a vehicle carrying several rounds of ammunition.
Melton Lake Drive was closed for almost two hours late Saturday afternoon following a motor vehicle crash that included a vehicle carrying several rounds of ammunition.
According to information from the Oak Ridge Fire Department, when firefighters arrived on the scene, the sports utility vehicle carrying the ammunition was on fire and ammunition was exploding.
There were no injuries.
The accident happened about 5:05 p.m. Saturday, when a Toyota pickup truck traveling south on Melton Lake Drive crossed the center line and struck the SUV, which was driven by Jeff Douglas, who was returning from a Wounded Warriors shooting event with his passenger, Greg Snodgrass.
After being hit by the pickup truck, according to the ORFD information, the SUV then hit the guardrail, spun around and overturned.
Snodgrass and Douglas were having difficulty exiting the vehicle, when immediately another driver came to their aid. Mike Ramirez was able to get one of the doors open on the SUV and help them out of the vehicle before it caught on fire.
All three occupants refused treatment or transport by Anderson County Emergency Medical Service.
According to the ORFD, Douglas said, "We are grateful that Mike (Ramirez) stopped and helped us out of the vehicle. I'm not sure we could have gotten out on our own before the vehicle caught fire."
The ORFD didn't get the name of the unijured driver of the pickup truck.
Chief Darryl Kerley said the ammunition that didn't explode was taken with the wrecked car to the salvage yard. He explained that in a fire ammunition doesn't have the velocity it has when shot by a weapon.

Beautiful turquoise channel inlay earrings from New Mexico in the Zuni style. Channel inlay is complex--the artist cuts the stones precisely to fit the shapes created by the silver outline. These are dainty and elegant earrings, likely from the 1970s or 80s, and the natural turquoise is different hues, from creamy to bright. Not too big, not too small. As these are not stamped by an artist, we cannot say for certain that they are Native American. I acquired these from a Navajo friend who lives in Dulce, NM, and we believe these are Zuni.
Each earring measures 1-3/8" around taking a tape measure along the edge, not including the post. Face of the earring is just over 1/16" wide. In great vintage condition.
Great pair of contemporary Southwestern earrings, destined to become everyday favorites.

BANGOR, Maine — A woman living in Pray's Trailer Park on Finson Road heard a loud sound Sunday afternoon and found a bullet hole in her dwelling when she went to investigate, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said Monday.
"She was sitting on her couch and heard a 'boom'" at about 1:15 p.m., the sergeant said. "She thought maybe someone threw a rock."
The 53-year-old woman found a hole in one window and woke up her husband, who was in the other end of their trailer and didn't hear the noise, and he called police.
When Officer George Spencer arrived to investigate, the couple showed him the hole and he determined it was caused by a bullet when he found another hole in the opposite wall.
The bullet, "exited [the trailer] through a picture on the other side," Edwards said.
The investigation determined the bullet went straight through the trailer, the sergeant said. No one was injured and police are currently investigating where the shot came from and whether the person who discharged it should face charges, Edwards said.
"They're still investigating it," he said.

Red Giant fails to devour Brown Dwarf companion
Saving it for later
Posted in Science, 3rd August 2006 14:47 GMT
Astronomers using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large telescope have identified a star system in which a brown dwarf has survived being engulfed by its companion star's Red Giant phase.
Now, both stars are planet sized, and orbit one another very closely, and very fast. The orbital period is around two hours. One is a white dwarf - a star roughly earth-sized, but around half as massive as our sun, and the other is a brown dwarf - a failed star approximately 55 times as massive as Jupiter.
But it wasn't always that way, according to Pierre Maxted, lead author of a paper in this week's Nature
"Such a system must have had a very troubled history", he said. "Its existence proves that the brown dwarf came out almost unaltered from an episode in which it was swallowed by a red giant."
Millions of years ago, the white dwarf was a star very much like our own sun, and was orbited by its then much more distant brown dwarf companion. As its supplies of hydrogen began to run out, it started to collapse. This created a little extra pressure at its core, giving it a little more energy to keep those fires burning by igniting the hydrogen that remained in its shell.
As the hydrogen in the star's shell burnt, so the shell expanded outwards and the star became a red giant and started burning helium, just for fun.
It got so large that it enveloped its companion star. Being inside a star instead of just orbiting one is a disturbing thing, and the brown dwarf was jostled into a new orbit, spiralling closer and closer to the centre of the red giant.
At some point, the Red Giant ran out of helium and collapsed in again. When the core collapsed, it released energy causing the star's envelope to blow off. And so the star shed its outer layers in a planetary nebula (nothing to do with planets), leaving its core intact, and visible to us as a white dwarf.
The brown dwarf is also intact, although orbiting the star much more closely. If it had originally been less than 20 Jupiter masses, it would have evaporated.
Eventually, the two stars will move still closer together, and their orbital period will reduce still further. In about 1.4bn years they will be so close that the white dwarf will begin siphoning material off the brown dwarf. ®

The chemistry lab inside Vose Hall at Oklahoma Christian University appears to have morphed into a crime scene.
There are two bodies on the tile floor of the lab, the apparent victims of gunshot wounds. As the victims lie there, investigators process the scene, looking for clues. Yellow crime-scene tape blocks the entryway.
The simulated crime scene is part of the school's summer Honors Academy for high school juniors. During two weeks of camp, students who have achieved academic success at their high schools can get a taste of what college is like.
About 150 students from 24 states took part in the academy, filling their time by building robots, designing video games and solving crimes in the forensic science class in Vose Hall.
"At this level, it's not exactly how it is done, but it gives them the experience and it shows them that it's not always like it is on TV either," associate chemistry professor Howard Vogel said of his "In Cold Blood" class. "This gives them a chance to see how hard it can be to process a crime scene."
Erica Mathis came to the academy from Mountain Home, Ark. She enjoyed her "In Cold Blood" class experience, which included testing dollar bills for cocaine residue. For the record, about 98 percent of the bills tested by the class had traces of the drug.
This is the first year the class has been offered.
"I feel kind of special to be one of the first students," Mathis said. "Early in the week, we learned about illegal drugs and which ones get the highest penalties. I enjoy the detective aspect of it. You learn how to be careful collecting evidence and to focus on small details."
Vogel said the students enjoyed the lab work the most.
"This has been a popular course," he said. "I've taught it as a freshman college course, but that would be an entire semester. The fact that the subject of forensic science has been popular on TV shows like 'CSI' or 'Breaking Bad' has added a lot of mystique to forensics."

The problem is she always wants a fantastic gathering - but isn't willing to put the work into it. I would have to bring about 5 dishes, my own beverages and there would not be enough seating and would be balancing my dish on my lap.
She's a nutjob.

I got really excited when I saw your post

DataGravity Gets $30 Million B Round
It said it will use the money for product development as well as marketing and sales
By: Maureen O'Gara
Jan. 30, 2013 09:30 AM
DataGravity, an early-stage company whose mission is to turn Big Data into information simply, has raised a $30 million B round led by Andreessen Horowitz. Andreessen partner Peter Levine gets a seat on the board.
Previous investors Charles River Ventures and General Catalyst Partners, which kicked the start-up off with a $12 million A round, also participated.
DataGravity said it will use the money for product development as well as marketing and sales.
It's trying to develop products that remove the need for complex software packages to extract value and information from stored data. It's expecting to field its first product next year.
The company's founders includes CEO Paula Long, one of the founders of EqualLogic, which was acquired by Dell for $1.4 billion in 2008, and president John Joseph, the former VP of marketing and product management at EqualLogic.
The Nashua, New Hampshire-based start-up is supposed to be positioned to be in front of a potentially enormous market and Levine expects the funding "to move it forward in addressing the enterprise mandate to radically change the way IT extracts information from data."

Ahh, it was so great to not just have cup cars out on the track but to have those cup cars to be racing. No matter what the format of the Shootout or how drivers qualify for the Shootout, I look forward it because to me it signals the beginning of the season, points be damned.
I admit during the off season, while reveling in the fact that my driver won his third championship, I've been pondering the momentum SHR may or may not carry into the 2012 season. Last season was not the best of seasons for Tony Stewart and his #14 Office Depot/ Mobil 1 team. I don't think even Tony would argue with me there. Granted there were some near wins during the regular season, like Las Vegas (which broke my heart because I knew how much he wanted to win there after our interview and to see him come oh-so-close only to not win) and the more positive 2nd place in New Hampshire (where he finished second to teammate Ryan Newman). But despite a few bright spots (that were not winning so how bright could they really be) was frustrating for our driver (and his fans right). I honestly don't think I have ever worried as much as I have about Tony making THE CHASE (NASCAR's version of playoffs/Championship) as I did this last 2011 season. Luckily he did by the skin of his teeth (whether or not he thought he deserved it).
Then it was like someone flipped a switch. Tony's CHASE run was nothing short of amazing, with the #14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 team winning a record 5 out of 10 CHASE races. And don't even get me started about that race at Homestead, that amazing race that Tony NEEDED to win. He not only managed to win but passed 118 cars to do it. A race where the team and driver had to overcome damage early in the race, a bad pit stop, a rain delay and you know 42 competitors. A race where it was quite obvious that the driver was….well driving his ass off. Oh yeah and they happened to take home a CHAMPIONSHIP because if it. That rocked.
Even though the season ended on a high note, that doesn't mean that the momentum will follow through and don't think that doesn't worry me. SHR underwent some fairly major changes at the end of the season and during the off season. There were sponsor additions (Outback and Quicken Loans) for Ryan Newman's car. A new crew chief, Steve Addington, was hired for Tony Stewart, after letting go Darian Grubb. The long empty Director of Competition position was filled by Greg Zipadelli (big surprise there right?) after being vacant most of last season. And the BIGGEST change of all, the addition of a third, albeit part-time team with the #10 of Danica Patrick. Yes, technically the car is fielded by TBR but we all know that was done to guarantee Danica a start in the 500 without having to sacrifice Tony or Ryan's owner points. So that adds a new crew (maybe- Stewart-Haas has a third pit crew they offered out to other teams) and a new quasi-teammate to the mix. That is a whole lot of change for an organization. Change that may (or hopefully may NOT) hinder momentum because there are new people getting use to an existing organization and an organization getting use to new people.
That being said, I am VERY pleased with what i saw at the Shootout momentum wise. Considering that Tony's car had signifigant damage during practice and the team was able to repair the car and get it to point where he was obviously very competive, it is exciting to witness. Yeah, Tony didn't win but he came darn close. Even Kyle Busch mentioned during his postrace that he hooked up with Tony because he knew that the 14 was fast. So as a fan of SHR and in particular Tony Stewart, I am definitely liking what I am seeing from my team so far this very young season.
Now, as far as the 500 on Sunday? It's going to be a crazy race. NASCAR worked hard during the off season to break up the tandem drafting and judging by the Shootout, it worked. The return of "pack" racing is something I find crazy stressful to watch at the superspeedways. Packs mean there is less room to correct for an "oopsie" with out hitting someone else. Recovery space is limited. When you do make a mistake (and someone always does- it's human nature) there is a very good chance that multiple cars will be involved, thus a better chance of a more "spectacular" crashes. And when I say "spectacular" I really mean "scary as hell, oh god please let driver x by okay" kind of crashes. So there is that to worry about.
On the plus side, Tony WAS strong in the shootout. Hopefully he will be equally strong in his Duel race. And for those who like numbers- this is Tony Stewart's 14th Daytona 500. I think it's time for him to finally win one! I know Tony must want that jewel in his crown- who wouldn't.
So…#GoTonyTo and as always #ImWithSmoke!
Also- be sure to check out our new "Misty's Mazin' Moment" column- this week she tackles The Shootout. And her Misty's Messed her unMentionables moment of the Shootout!

New Life at the Express & Standard Building
NEWPORT, VT - "When I first met my wife she was sitting right over there in the corner," Roger Cartee of Newport said as he toured the building, located on Central Street in Newport, which at one time housed the Express and Standard newspaper and later the Newport Daily Express. "She worked here in the main office and I was a part-time sports writer." The year Cartee first laid eyes on the woman who would become his wife, Janet (Hunt) Cartee, was 1968. She was the daughter of the then owner–publisher of the Daily Express, Robert Hunt. The couple went on their first date on New Year's Eve of that same year. They married in August 1969.Roger Cartee went on to become the publisher and co-owner of the paper. He remained as the publisher for a time after they sold the paper to the Scripts League during the second half of the 1970s.The paper is now owned by the Horizon Newspaper Group, the fifth largest holder of newspapers in North America with 57 papers in their stable. They also own various other media companies.In 1980, Cartee retired from the newspaper business to pursue a long, distinguished career as a teacher.More than 40 years after Roger and Janet met in the main lobby of the newspaper office, they are still happily married. They are also the parents of two grown children and one grandchild. "If I hadn't gone to work there I probably would have never met her," Cartee said. "I wouldn't have gone in there otherwise."The Newport Daily Express, which until 1936 was called the Express and Standard, moved from the Central Street building in 1978 to its current site on Hill Street in Newport. The building is currently home to the Sharpening Shed and three apartments. There is room in the building for another commercial enterprise. Rick Woodward bought the building in January 2011 and has been busy refurbishing it. He was attracted to it by its beauty, its history, and its architecture. "Who doesn't love the beauty of this building with its beautiful architecture?" Woodward said. "Then you add the story of the local newspapers and it was irresistible to me."Woodward, who lives in Derby with his wife Frances, is one of the people quietly working to revitalize downtown Newport, one building at a time. While some people talk about doing, Mr. Woodward is too busy doing to just spend his time talking.Although Woodward is restoring the building, he is not robbing it of historical architecture. For that matter, he is working to return the history stolen from it during earlier remodeling jobs. To do this, he reached out to people who remembered the building during its heyday. He also sought out people who might have historical photos of the building, which would help him keep his work as historically accurate as possible, while at the same time bringing the building up to current building codes. -- This long feature article can be seen in its entirety in Friday's edition of the Newport Daily Express, Feb. 24, 2012, pages 1 and 12.

There is a building in downtown Cincinnati, on Race between 6th and 7th, that I'm quite taken with. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about it. It's across from the old Shilito's department store and has a very ornate white facade with the words "Lyric Piano Company" engraved above the second floor, and an inset balcony on the top floor
A google search for the LPC turned up just two results: a mention in a Northern Illinois university page (the college owns the records of the Wurlitzer Piano Company, which apparently contain the meeting minutes of the Lyric Company from 1909-1937), and this article published in CityBeat in 2002:
An interesting thing to note here: the article says that Hardee's signed a 99-year lease which is due to expire in 2049. (And seriously, as a side note here, what brainiac thinks it's good business to give a 99-year lease -- a STABILIZED one -- to HARDEE'S? Has to be the least appetizing "food" establishment ever. Does it even still exist?) Anywho, the point is that the Hardee's there, while still bearing a visible sign, is boarded up, so something must have happened since this article. Either the restaurant just closed and Hardee's corporation still owns it (if it still exists) or somebody bought out the lease, as the article mentions being an option at the time. If the latter, I can't see that anything has been done with it, at least from the outside of the building. Still in pretty bad shape, no visible signs of management, and this is with the Shilito's building having been converted into condos.
I'm going to do some more research, but I know we have some city history buffs here so I wanted to see if anybody knew anything about it offhand. It is a really beautiful building, and I am very curious to know whether anything is being done with it, and also what it was. I mean, two google results for this piano company that was still around as recently as sixty years ago? Has anybody heard of it? Anybody got a Lyric piano in a basement somewhere?
If it's for sale, I say we have the world's biggest bake sale and turn it into a sound studio, for historical reverence and to liven Cincinnat's arts community, with maybe a baseball card trading shop on the first floor.

Down to business: X-2 an X-cellent adventure
We had to endure X-Men so X2 (the subtitle X-Men United was added to the advertising as an afterthought, perhaps a subtle suggestion of patriotism) could happen.
There was too much background to explain– and there were too many characters to introduce, each with two names and a distinctive superpower– for the first film to tell much of a story. Made on a somewhat limited budget for a designated blockbuster, it was X-Men 1.0 and a trailer for the series.
With most of the exposition out of the way and a bigger budget allowing for a longer (by half an hour) film, director Bryan Singer gets down to business in X2– and it's a pleasure.
The X-Men (and -Women) represent any oppressed minority you care to associate with them. The first film set up a Martin vs. Malcolm philosophical dispute between peaceful Prof. Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and militant Eric Lensherr, known as Magneto (Ian McKellen). In the second there's an equally obvious parallel to gays, especially in a scene where an X-Boy "comes out" as a mutant to his family.
Mutants or metaphors, they're not very popular. As Magneto says in the introduction, his voice dripping with irony, "Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute." Sen. Kelly (Bruce Davison) has softened his views (become a "compassionate conservative"?) since he introduced the Mutant Registration Act, but there's always someone to take up the fight.
The latest is Col. William Stryker (Brian Cox), whose own son is a mutant. Xavier is on Stryker's hit list because he once failed to help the boy "in the way his father wanted." This comes up when they meet again and Xavier says, "You wanted me to cure your son, but mutantism isn't a disease." Stryker has some mysterious history with Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), whose attempts to remember his past form one story thread.
As before, there are too many characters for each to be developed sufficiently, but even with more of them this is handled far better than in the first film. One of the new ones is Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), who's at the center of the first big action/effects sequence as he bounces around the White House trying to assassinate the president. He's a German (wi' a wee bit o' Scot in him) circus acrobat who can fade into a blue blur and reappear somewhere else.
The closet is referenced when Nightcrawler asks shape-shifting Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), "Why not stay in disguise all the time, look like everyone else?" and she replies, "Because I shouldn't have to." It may remind you of Bringing Down the House, when Steve Martin asks Queen Latifah why she doesn't, in effect, speak more white, and she says it's not who she is.
Wolverine returns to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters after a scouting mission (which he's botched, as it turns out) to find himself the third point of two romantic triangles. He was already over Rogue (Anna Paquin), so he'll leave her to Bobby Drake/Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), if they can ever figure out how to do anything without killing each other. (How do mutants make love? Very carefully.)
Still drawn to Wolverine is telepathic Jean Gray (Famke Janssen), the only mutant without a nickname, who has taken up with Cyclops (James Marsden).
Storm (Halle Berry), the weather wench, is back too, and the latest addition is Pyro (Aaron Stanford), who "can manipulate fire (but not) create it."
Xavier is able to keep track of all the world's mutants through a machine called Cerebro, which looks like a planetarium projecting people instead of stars. This is what Stryker is after, with the help of his mutant assistant, Yuriko Oyama/Deathstrike (Kelly Hu). He overpowers Magneto in his plastic cell (which makes Hannibal Lecter's look like an egg crate) and gets information from him.
Magneto escapes his prison and hooks up temporarily with Xavier and his mutants against the threat Stryker represents to all of them. Stryker's forces launch an all-out assault on Xavier's school but are only able to round up half a dozen kids. Everyone else escapes and returns the visit, attacking Stryker's underground headquarters in an overlong, unfocused climax in which, as they say during sweeps, "One of their own will die."
X2 isn't perfect, but it gets so much more right than X-Men did I'm already looking forward to–- what will it be? Someone's already done XXX.

A thread for self amusement, and perhaps to generate an idea or three. The idea is to use D&D 3.x rules to recreate video game items and effects. Any official D&D source is permitted. Here are a couple of ideas to get everyone started:
Boots of Sonic Boom: Boots of striding and springing + Screaming burst + Thundering + cost of masterwork gauntlets to equate the cost of steel toe boots. (magical comb with reverse gravity effect, optional)
Bangles of Dhalism: Bracelets and anklets which grant the abberant reach feat, plus continuous bloodwind spell effect.

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law last week that would allow young people to petition Web companies to remove embarrassing items they posted while underage -- effectively erasing the online record of those posts or events.
Here's the meat of the law:
The bill would, on and after January 1, 2015, require the operator of an Internet Web site, online service, online application, or mobile application to permit a minor, who is a registered user of the operator's Internet Web site, online service, online application, or mobile application, to remove, or to request and obtain removal of, content or information posted on the operator's Internet Web site, service, or application by the minor, unless the content or information was posted by a 3rd party, any other provision of state or federal law requires the operator or 3rd party to maintain the content or information, or the operator anonymizes the content or information. The bill would require the operator to provide notice to a minor that the minor may remove the content or information, as specified.
That picture of you blotto, in your junior year of high school at an illegal keg party? You can make it go away forever by asking the company to remove it before you turn 18. Of course, if we're talking Facebook, you can already remove tags. You can delete pictures and otherwise massage the record. You can also put security limits on who can access your account on Facebook. If it's not public, then people can't see the photo if you limit your account to friends only.
The new California law raises larger questions about minors and their behavior, and about how the law itself fits within the so-called Right to Be Forgotten Online movement.

Submission + - Making Robots Mimic the Human Hand (nytimes.com)
RougeFemme writes: As part of a research project to develop low-cost artificial hands, DARPA has developed a two hand robot that can almost change a tire. Research has mastered grasping objects with robotic hands; the next objective is to manipulate the objects once grasped. Research also continues on a neural interface, a direct link between a robotic arm and the human brain. The ultimate goal of the research project is to develop prostethics and robotic arms for wider use, by reducing cost and improving dexterity and machine vision.
