An Open Letter From A Canadian To The New York Times, Eh?
from the happy-to-help dept
Dear New York Times,
As a Canadian, I am writing to say what an honour and a privilege it is to be chosen as one of your preliminary test subjects for the dumbest business model imaginable. We don't get many chances to contribute up here in the untamed north, so the knowledge that we are helping to ensure "as smooth a transition as possible" for your real readers makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like a Tim Horton's hot chocolate.
Your plan makes perfect sense. The average Canadian starts his day chopping down trees and ends it with igloo sex (which is awesome, by the way) so we don't need something to be "smooth" and "fine-tuned" unless it's an axe or a Chippewa concubine. So by all means use us as your whetstone before you go hacking away at the American market - we don't mind in the slightest. New York is still basically a mythical place to us, so every article you publish is like a dispatch from Oz, and who wouldn't want to pay for that?
Now, there are those who will tell you that your business model couldn't be more doomed if you opened a chain of in-temple money changers, which is no doubt why you wanted to try it out on Canadians before attempting any human testing. I for one pledge to live up to the faith you have shown in us: I will ignore the nay-sayers and become a lifelong subscriber, if only to prove how much more agreeable we northerners are than whiny yanks like Felix Salmon. Felix thinks you can evaluate things with math. If Canadians believed that, we'd move our currency off the Syrup Standard. However, as your goal is to improve the product, I will dutifully point out that even to us your pricing structure makes less sense than your country's bacon naming conventions.
So thank you New York Times for singling Canada out as the only place on the entire planet that deserves to test your unfinished product. Of course, it's not entirely clear why it's still unfinished, since the $40-million you spent developing it is more than the combined wealth of our entire nation ever since Celine Dion moved to Vegas, but we have faith nonetheless. I sincerely hope that, with our help, your paywall will be a big hit in the real world.
Your faithful guinea-pig,
Marcus Carab

Halimbawa ng haiku means examples of haiku poems. This form has become so much popular that this form is often introduced in schools so that students can enjoy and learn.
The Form and Structure:
Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry which consists of 17 moare (also called "on" or syllables) in 3 metrical phrases of 5-7-5 moare respectively. But most writers of this verse form in English use about 10 to 14 syllables with no formal pattern.
The form of haiku poems consists of a "kigo" or "kireji" or verbal caesura. Japanese form is traditionally printed in a single vertical line whereas, in English, it is composed in 3 lines which is parallel to the 3 metrical lines in Japanese form.
It was the custom to make the carving of famous haiku upon natural stone in order to make poem monuments came to be known as kuhi.
Marlene Mountain was considered one of the first English-language haiku poets. He wrote the verse in a single horizontal line inspired by the single vertical line of printed Japanese haiku. The single-line form normally contains fewer than 17 syllables.
The writers of Haiku in English language make use of the following:
• 3 lines up to 17 syllables
• a season word (kigo)
• a cut or kire (sometimes marked by a punctuation) to compare two images
Influence of This Verse Form:
The influence of haiku poetry is felt worldwide. It is found in journals in Japan, and in the English-speaking countries including India, in Russia, in Northern Europe, in central and southeast Europe.
In the early 20th century, in India, Rabindranath Tagore tried his hands at haiku in Bengali and made some translations from Japanese. Zeenabhai Ratanji Desai 'Sneharashmi', made this verse form famous in Gujarati.
It was Feb' 2008 when the World Haiku Festival was held in Bangalore, and its main intention was to gather haikuists from all over India and from Europe and the US.
Haiku had a significant influence on Imagists in the 1910s, especially Ezra Pound's "In a Station of the Metro" of 1913.
At the time of the Imagist period, several mainstream writers and poets composed came to be known as "hokku," in a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.
The Afro-American novelist Richard Wright composed around 4,000 haikus.
Examples of Haiku Poems:
Buson is really considered as one of the greatest masters of haiga which is an art form where painting is combined with haiku. And therefore, his love for painting is clearly seen in the style of his poems.
1. Bashō's "old pond" is one of the famous examples:
furuike ya
(fu/ru/i/ke ya): 5
kawazu tobikomu
(ka/wa/zu to/bi/ko/mu): 7
mizu no oto
(mi/zu no o/to): 5
old pond
a frog jumps
the sound of water
2. A classic hokku by Matsuo Bashō:
fuji no kaze ya oogi ni nosete Edo miyage
the wind of Mt. Fuji
I've brought on my fan!
a gift from Edo
3. Snow in my shoe
Sparrow's nest
Jack Kerouac (collected in Book of Haikus, Penguin Books, 2003)
4. Whitecaps on the bay:
A broken signboard banging
In the April wind.
Richard Wright (collected in Haiku: This Other World, Arcade Publishing, 1998)
5. lily:
out of the water
out of itself

off the moon
Nick Virgilio (Selected Haiku, Burnt Lake Press/Black Moss Press, 1988)
6. downpour:

7. an aging willow–

8. Just friends:

Fast-food strikes set for US cities nationwide
NEW YORK (AP) — Fast-food customers in search of burgers and fries on Thursday might run into striking workers instead.
Organizers say thousands of fast-food workers are set to stage walkouts in dozens of cities around the U.S., part of a push to get chains such as McDonald's, Taco Bell and Wendy's to pay workers higher wages.
It's expected be the largest nationwide strike by fast-food workers, according to organizers. The biggest effort so far was over the summer when about 2,200 of the nation's millions of fast-food workers staged a one-day strike in seven cities.
Thursday's planned walkouts follow a series of strikes that began last November in New York City, then spread to cities including Chicago, Detroit and Seattle. Workers say they want $15 an hour, which would be about $31,000 a year for full-time employees. That's more than double the federal minimum wage, which many fast food workers make, of $7.25 an hour, or $15,000 a year.
The move comes amid calls from the White House, some members of Congress and economists to hike the federal minimum wage, which was last raised in 2009. But most proposals seek a far more modest increase than the ones workers are asking for, with President Barack Obama wanting to boost it to $9 an hour.
The push has brought considerable media attention to a staple of the fast-food industry — the so-called "McJobs" that are known for their low pay and limited prospects. But the workers taking part in the strikes still represent a tiny fraction of the broader industry. And it's not clear if the strikes on Thursday will shut down any restaurants because organizers made their plans public earlier in a call for workers around the country to participate, which gave managers time to adjust their staffing levels. More broadly, it's not clear how many customers are aware of the movement, with turnout for past strikes relatively low in some cities.
Laila Jennings, a 29-year-old sales associate at T.J. Maxx, was eating at a McDonald's in New York City this week and said she hadn't heard of the movement. Still, she said she thinks workers should be paid more. "They work on their feet all day," Jennings said, adding that $12 to $15 an hour seemed fair.

While most movie studios are singing the blues over soundtracks, Disney is whistling "Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dah."
Once a reliable ancillary revenue stream, the soundtrack biz has been out of tune. The retail market has collapsed, contributing to the 25% freefall in soundtrack sales since 2006, when the Nielsen SoundScan figure totaled 27.2 million. But for the Mouse House, music is the means to "move the meter" — raise audience awareness — for a Disney film/TV production, according to Mitchell Leib, the studio's president of music and soundtracks for live features.
Disney's commitment to this old-school formula has resulted in the "Hannah Montana" film/TV franchise chalking up 10 million-plus album sales Stateside, and the "High School Musical" soundtrack moving 3.7 million units in 2006, thus becoming that year's top-selling Nielsen SoundScan album.
Granted, Disney has a historically deft touch with creating musically driven projects aimed at moppets. However, the studio's success with its music department can largely be attributed to reaching that core demo directly through its media outlets, specifically Radio Disney (49 stations covering 60% of the nation), the Disney Channel and ABC Family (each reaching close to 97 million U.S. households).
"Disney has an inherent advantage in controlling its (buying) universe and can monetize that with its record-buying audience," Leib says. "Our credo: Produce with marketing in mind."
When the Mouse House shells out for a record, particularly with a performer who jives with the production, the studio reaps several upsides:
- Potential radio hit with pic's release. Though rare for any studio nowadays, Disney benefited from slotting Flo Rida's rap single "Low" in 2008's "Step Up 2: The Streets." "Low" became a hit prior to the pic's bow. Disney played it aggressively in ads, along with a clean remix on Radio Disney, ultimately fueling a SoundScan 4.5 million digital sales record.
- Piquing curiosity. Disney music exec VP Glen Lajeski ensures that a pic's music is married to its marketing campaign. One of the highlights on his resume is creating audience awareness for Jerry Bruckheimer's "Dangerous Minds" (1995) by attaching "Gangsta's Paradise" to the pic, fueling a mega chart stopper. Drumming up interest in the second "Pirates of the Caribbean" score, Lajeski brought in famed house DJ Tiesto to remix the title theme so that it could play in dance clubs worldwide.
- Song Oscar bait. Despite the Academy's eclectic tastes as of late, its music branch is continually drawn to the storytelling aspects of the songs in Disney's animated features, resulting in 35 noms to date. Some of the titles Disney is tubthumping this year include Randy Newman's New Orleans-infused soundtrack for "The Princess and the Frog," along with Paul McCartney's end titles track "(I Want to) Come Home" from "Everybody's Fine."
- Attracting marquee crooners. Much like penning the opening song for a James Bond film, top-shelf performers savor the opportunity to write a Disney tune. In March, the studio will throw its weight behind Avril Lavigne's "Alice Underground" from Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland," as well as Daft Punk's sonic "Tron Legacy" score in December.
- Cheering for the home team. Having cultivated such titans as Miley Cyrus, soundtracks also serve as a launch pad for Disney's stable of burgeoning pop acts, freeing up their music execs from having to haggle over another label's artist. Up next: Alpha Rev's Casey McPherson, who will have a track on Cyrus' pic "The Last Song."
"We looked beyond the bottom line and saw a greater purpose for the labels as a movie studio," Leib says. "It starts and ends with synergy."

Kirsten Dunst Is Maid of Honor at Friend's Wedding Pictures
Kirsten Dunst Plays the Role of Maid of Honor at a Friend's Wedding
Kirsten Dunst was the maid of honor on Saturday in her friend Molly's wedding. Kirsten wore a blush-pink dress and a wreath of flowers in her hair at the nuptials, and last month, Kirsten hosted Molly's bachelorette party in Mexico. The ladies in the bridal party spent some time by the pool and indulged in spa treatments and yoga during the prewedding getaway.
Kirsten was solo while she took photographs with the rest of the wedding party and the bride and groom's families. Yesterday, Kirsten was spotted heading out of her hotel and hopping into her Prius following the festivities. She has been seeing her On the Road costar Garrett Hedlund since the pair met shooting the film, but he didn't appear to have joined her for Saturday's celebration.

I don't hate Flash like Steve Jobs, but it does slow the browsing experience at times and can get annoying. There are several extensions and tools which allow you to block Flash in browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox, but most of the times Flash blocking extensions are heavy on memory usage and can slow down the browser. This is why I prefer to use a lightweight and versatile extension called FlashBlock for Google Chrome, which does the job very well without using lot of memory.
One of the problems I have faced with this extension though is the lack of support for whitelisting/blacklisting websites. However, FlashBlock does provide users with an option to do so through a right click option as seen above. The problem is that though it is easy to unblock websites from FlashBlock, there is no easy way to block them again if you want to change your decision.
However, I did find a way to block unblocked sites in FlashBlock extension by using a simple trick. If you are someone who wants to do it, follow the steps given below.
To block a unblocked website in FlashBlock, open the website in question in Google Chrome and then click on the wrench icon and then select "Developer tools" from under the Tools menu. Alternatively, you can also use the shortcut key "Ctrl + Shift + I"
Doing the above steps will load the Chrome Developer interface. Now click on the "Resources" tab in the interface and expand the "Local Storage" dropdown. Now look for the exact URL of the website under the Local Storage menu and click on it. This will display the "Key-Value" pair of information stored for the website.
To block the website through FlashBlock again, look for the key "ujs_flashblock" and right click on it and select the "Delete" option from the menu. Once you have deleted the key, reload the website again and Flash will be blocked on it.
Though there are several other Flash blocking extensions which provide with an easier interface to manage whitelists and blacklists, the extension in question is one of the best out there and does not hog resources. Blocking a website again is a little hard, but it is a great tradeoff for performance it provides.

The nominations for the 55th Grammy Awards have been revealed, and for PS3 gamers there's quite the surprise: Austin Wintory's wonderful score for PSN title Journey has been nominated for Best Score Soundtrack.
That's not some weird term for an obscure category nobody will ever hear about; it's the category for the best original score soundtrack, and has Wintory up against people like Hans Zimmer and John Williams, and the scores to movies like Dark Knight Rises, Hugo and Tintin.
If he wins, it won't be the first Grammy a video game has won; Christopher Tin's "Baba Yetu" won in 2011 for a track he composed for... 2005's Civilization IV. But it will be the first time an entire video game score has won.
Best of luck, Austin!

An award-winning journalist uses landmark research to debunk the whole expert prediction industry, and explores the psychology of our obsession with future history.
In 2008, experts predicted gas would hit $20 a gallon; it peaked at $4.10. In 1967, they said the USSR would be the world's fastest-growing economy by 2000; by 2000, the USSR no longer existed. In 1908, it was pronounced that there would be no more wars in Europe; we all know how that turned out. Face it, experts are about as accurate as dart- throwing monkeys. And yet every day we ask them to predict the future- everything from the weather to the likelihood of a terrorist attack. Future Babble is the first book to examine this phenomenon, showing why our brains yearn for certainty about the future, why we are attracted to those who predict it confidently, and why it's so easy for us to ignore the trail of outrageously wrong forecasts.
In this fast-paced, example-packed, sometimes darkly hilarious book, journalist Dan Gardner shows how seminal research by UC Berkeley professor Philip Tetlock proved that the more famous a pundit is, the more likely he is to be right about as often as a stopped watch. Gardner also draws on current research in cognitive psychology, political science, and behavioral economics to discover something quite reassuring: The future is always uncertain, but the end is not always near.

A refined powertrain integrated with an off-road heritage
The Zero DS is built on the foundation of the Zero S and incorporates technology from Zero's highly durable off-road motorcycles such as the wheels, suspension and ability to handle diverse conditions. The wheels are designed to be particularly lightweight and strong. In the dirt or on the street the dual sport tires maintain a tight grip and a specially engineered suspension system absorbs the bumps. The result is a dual sport motorcycle that is ready for any surface you can throw at it.
Game Changing Z-Force™ Power Pack
120+ Mi Range / 280,000+ Mi Lifetime
The 2013 Zero DS leverages a completely new battery cell chemistry and configuration. Not only does the ZF11.4 power pack enable you to go beyond 120 miles, it is also designed to last the life of the motorcycle. The result of cutting edge research and development, each cell in the power pack is individually controlled and monitored at all times to ensure maximum health. The integrated onboard charger minimizes charge time and can work in parallel with Zero's quick charge systems. What's this all mean? Simply put, the Zero DS is a leader for production electric motorcycles in acceleration, range, recharge time and longevity.

Frame and Bodywork
Great to look at. Even better to ride.
Aircraft grade aluminum is exclusively used in the construction of the Zero DS twin spar frame. It is lightweight, strong and one of the main reasons that the Zero DS handles incredibly well on the dirt or street. Designed to have a low center of gravity, the Zero DS is highly maneuverable and responsive. The motorcycle's refined, yet rugged, appearance is completed with sleek new bodywork to give it a contemporary, aggressive and naked look. The 'tank' section of the bodywork features an integrated storage compartment that is both lockable and removable.

Wheels and Brakes
The Zero DS wheels are engineered to minimize unsprung weight and reduce rotating mass. Developed specifically for the Zero DS, the lightweight construction includes custom hubs, spokes, and rotors. To maximize overall wheel strength the hub is configured to use straight pull spokes. The resulting wheel is lighter, stronger and more responsive. For maximum stopping power, the Zero DS features robust and easy to modulate brakes with a new Nissin system.
- Robust black wheels
- High strength/lightweight straight pull spokes
- Aggressive profile dual sport tires
- Nissin brakes are precise, easy to modulate and require little effort
The suspension on the Zero DS was developed by Zero to take advantage of the motorcycle's lightweight design. Its inverted front fork is among the lightest in the industry and can be externally adjusted to dial in compression and rebound damping. A rigid double diamond rear swing arm keeps the wheel planted using a custom rear shock with a fully adjustable spring preload and easily tuned damping. The smooth suspension combines with the silence of the powertrain to yield an exhilarating ride that needs to be experienced to be understood.
- Robust triple-clamps for improved bearing pre-loading and durability
- Specialized fork and shock internals
- Unique double diamond aircraft grade aluminum rear swingarm for reduced weight and increased torsional rigidity
- Front adjustments: Compression and rebound damping
- Rear adjustments: Spring preload, compression and rebound damping
Dash and Controls
The dash is designed by Zero to quickly and accurately provide essential information on speed, charge and motor temperature. The Zero DS allows you to set the motorcycle's performance to either Sport or Eco. Want more information about the motorcycle while riding or at home? Try the new Zero Motorcycles app.
- Sport / Eco switch to allow you to select motorcycle performance
- High intensity headlight
- Exceptionally accurate charge indicator

Dust from Halley's Comet is set to produce an amazing night-time spectacle in the skies above eastern counties tonight.
The Orionids meteor shower is visible until 7 November with the peak being around the nights of 20/21 October. At its peak, up to 20 meteors are visible every hour.
The meteors can be seen from around 9pm onwards but will be most visible after the moon sets at about midnight.
Stargazers across eastern England will be hoping for clear skies.
A Met Office spokesman urged residents to wrap up warm, go outside, lie back and look up.
The spokesman added: "To see the meteor shower, you don't need a telescope, binoculars or any other equipment – all you need is your eyes.
"Find a spot away from bright lights and let your eyes get used to the dark – this will take about 15 to 20 minutes."
"Orionid meteors are known to be very fast, travelling at about 41 miles per second, and typically on the faint side, although with clear, dark skies you still have a good chance of spotting one with its persistent, long trail.
"The Orionid meteor shower is named as such because it appears to radiate from the constellation Orion, which is one of the most visible and recognisable in the sky throughout the world."

Money Courier For Large Guatemalan Drug Ring Sentenced To Over 13 Years In Prison
GREENBELT - , Md. - U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. sentenced Nery Gustavo Ramos-Duarte, age 52, of Chiquimula, Guatemala, today to 160 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute and import five kilograms or more of cocaine, commit money laundering, and smuggle bulk cash.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Thomas J. Kelly of the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Washington, D.C. Field Office; Special Agent in Charge Karl C. Colder of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division; and Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to evidence presented at the five day trial, Duarte was a money courier for a large international organization that imported cocaine into the United States from Guatemala and smuggled the proceeds back to Guatemala. Duarte was a trusted member of the organization who could speak directly with its leader in Guatemala, and helped the leader collect drug debts.
On September 25, 2003, Duarte was stopped while driving in Arkansas. Law enforcement seized $1,168,000 in cash wrapped in bundles from a secret compartment in his vehicle.
In 2005, Duarte picked up drug money from a co-conspirator in Connecticut to take to the ringleader in Guatemala. Later in 2005, Duarte took a Mercedes-Benz from another member of the conspiracy as payment for a drug debt to the ringleader.
Trial testimony showed that Duarte was responsible for the distribution of over 150 kilograms of cocaine in the course of the conspiracy.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the IRS-CI, DEA, and FBI for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Peter M. Nothstein, Andrea L. Smith, and Bonnie S. Greenberg, who prosecuted case.
