Google teaching computers to mimic human brain
Posted by Areeb Majeed in Gaming, Technology on June 27, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO: Google on Tuesday said it was dabbling with getting computers to simulate the learning process of the human brain as one of the unusual projects for researchers in its X Lab.
Computers programmed with algorithms intended to mimic neural connections "learned" to recognize cats after being shown a sampling of YouTube videos, Google fellow Jeff Dean and visiting faculty Andrew Ng said in a blog post.
"Our hypothesis was that it would learn to recognize common objects in those videos," the researchers said.
"Indeed, to our amusement, one of our artificial neurons learned to respond strongly to pictures of… cats," they continued.
"Remember that this network had never been told what a cat was, nor was it given even a single image labeled as a cat."
The computer, essentially, discovered for itself what a cat looked like, according to Dean and Ng.
The computations were spread across an "artificial neural network" of 16,000 processors and a billion connections in Google data centers.
The small-scale "newborn brain" was shown YouTube images for a week to see what it would learn.
"It 'discovered' what a cat looked like by itself from only unlabeled YouTube stills," the researchers said.
"That's what we mean by self-taught learning."
Google researchers are building a larger model and are working on ways to apply the artificial neural network approach to improve technology for speech recognition and natural language modeling, according to Dean and Ng.
"Someday this could make the tools you use every day work better, faster, and smarter," they said.
Dean and Ng conceded that there is a long road ahead, since an adult human brain has around 100 trillion connections.
Google X Lab headed by company co-founder Sergey Brin is known for its work on innovations such as a self-driving car and "Terminator" film style glasses that provide Internet information about what is being seen.

About Us
Message from the Medical Director
Since I joined the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center in 2000, it has been my goal to put the burn center out of business by eradicating all burn injuries. While my goal may seem unattainable to most, every employee within the burn center strives to reach this goal, from the person who cleans and sanitizes the rooms to the physician providing emergency care to the burn patient.
The North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center combines the expertise of multiple UNC specialists with the state-of-the-art facilities and technologies to UNC Health Care to provide our patients with the very best in high quality and compassionate care. Our mission does not stop with treating just the visible injuries of the burn patient; it goes well beyond the physical to providing occupational therapy, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, pastoral support, aftercare and laser treatment of scars.
Through our commitment to research and training we strive to obtain the most recent, up-to-date clinical treatment for our burn patients. We have a strong outreach program to educate preschool, grade school and community members to the dangers of burns of all types. We work with firefighters, EMTs and others to keep their Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS) current and up-to-date.
We are surrounded by hundreds, possibly thousands of supportive firefighters, emergency medical technicians, advisory board members, Jaycee groups, to name a few, that are continually finding ways to support the citizens of North Carolina by providing support for the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center.
We remain committed to reducing the number of burn injuries by continuing excellence in our outreach programs, aftercare programs, and above all, patient care will always be at the core of what we do. It is the mission of the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center to provide the utmost care to all citizens of the State of North Carolina and beyond.
Bruce A. Cairns, MD
Medical Director of the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center

LONDON (Reuters) - The key to preventing a messy devaluation of Egypt's pound may lie with the country's households, whose dollar holdings are being eyed by foreign investors as a critical gauge of trust in the authorities.
Countless emerging market crises have shown over the decades that it is not the withdrawal of foreign investors from a market but the flight of local households and businesses from a currency that is instrumental in its collapse.
Egypt, despite months of upheaval, is not there yet.
But investors are watching closely for evidence of a significant rise in ordinary Egyptians' dollar holdings.
Households' dollarisation ratio — broadly, the level of foreign currency holdings as a proportion of money supply — was 15.5 percent at the end of October 2012, according to Bank of America-Merrill Lynch estimates, based on central bank data.
That will undoubtedly have gone up in recent weeks as panicky Egyptians have rushed out to buy dollars in the face of rising political turmoil and as the central bank has allowed the currency to fall — by 0.5 percent a day for the past week.
In Luxor, for example, a town that makes its living from the tourists who visit its Pharaonic temples, some taxi drivers have started asking for payment in euros or dollars.
But the household dollarisation ratio is still likely to be well below the 41 percent ratio among companies, or the 33 percent household dollarisation levels seen back in 2004.
"Increased household dollarisation and a run on the currency, that's the big risk," says Jean Michel Saliba, BofA-Merrill Middle East economist, who estimates households account for more than 70 percent of deposits in the banking system.
In contrast, foreigners hold a mere 3-4 percent of the local bond market, according to other estimates from Barclays.
"If the (dollarisation) ratio goes back to the 2004 peak that would create additional demand for $15 billion and will wipe out the central bank's reserves," Saliba says.
What could precipitate such a move?
The central bank's decision to allow some weakening in the pound after spending two years and $20 billion propping it up, has broadly been welcomed by economists and equity investors who say Egyptian exports need to become more competitive.
But this is a tightrope from which it is easy to fall.
Moved from a peg to a managed float in 2003, the pound has traded between 5.5-6 per dollar since then and citizens have enjoyed some reassurance from the central bank's sturdy defence of the exchange rate during the 2011-2012 turmoil.
But Egypt's hard currency reserves are at $15 billion or below the three-month import cover deemed the minimum safe level, and that as forced it to embark on dollar auctions allowing the pound to sink to a series of record lows.
Around a third of the pound's depreciation since early-2011 has come in the past week and that may well have spooked households who hold over 600 billion pounds ($93.05 billion)in local currency bank savings.
"I felt (devaluation) was coming. So for hedging purposes I changed half my savings into dollars just a couple of days before the pound slump," said one Egyptian who works in the financial sector and who asked not to be named.
"I don't trust the current regime ... and see no opportunity for growth on the short term ... no hope," he said. "I think that the pound slump is not going to stop."
The risk is that other locals feel the same, viewing authorities' tacit acceptance of a weaker currency as a sign that they are no longer able to stabilise the situation, a story that has played out time and again in emerging markets, from Russia to Indonesia.
"It's not a question now of how much (the central bank has) in reserves ... their top priority is to prevent people from exchanging their pound savings into dollars," says Bartosz Pawlowski, a strategist at BNP Paribas in London
"That's something no central bank in the world can survive."
Most analysts expect the pound to fall at least to 7 per dollar while currency forwards are pricing it at 7.75 per dollar in six months, a drop of 16 percent from current levels.
There are signs the currency would have fallen more already but for the shortage of dollar liquidity. Banks have slapped limits on deposit withdrawals and transaction fees on dollar purchases. Travellers can now carry a maximum $6,000 each while leaving the country.
"There is significant amount of financial repression that will artificially put on hold dollarisation," said Alia al-Moubayed, senior Barclays economist for the Middle East and North Africa.
Analysts agree that what stands in the way of massive household flight from the pound is the prospect of external aid, particularly from the International Monetary Fund which has sent an official to discuss the disbursement of a $4.8 billion loan.
The problem is that the more fiscal reforms are delayed, the greater any currency adjustment will have to be. Second, many worry that Egypt's leaders, fearing further protests, will delay the austerity measures the IMF has set as loan conditions.
Barclays' Moubayed notes that currency forwards are pricing a significant depreciation but not a collapse.
"So far people seem to believe that an IMF deal could still be leveraged and the government will go ahead with reforms needed to get IMF and donor support," she said.
"(But) the scenario (of a disorderly devaluation) could yet happen if people perceive the government is unlikely to get the funding needed to avert a crisis."

There are various techniques and strategies you can use when you revise your paper. Revision means much more than simply fixing grammatical mistakes or typos. Try to see the revision process as "re-vision", which means you see the same text from a different perspective. Your active engagement in the re-vision process will ultimately help you become a better reader and writer and also teach you that reflection is a really powerful learning tool.
One of the most effective ways to check your work is to read the text aloud to yourself. By doing this, you will be able to see the development of your ideas more clearly as well as to catch grammatical mistakes on your own. If you want to check the logical development of your argument, you should also try reading the text from the conclusion to the beginning. By reading your paper from the end to the beginning, you can see the connections of your ideas in your paper and assumptions you made in your paper more clearly.
It is a great idea that you change the location when you revise your paper. If you usually work in the library, you may want to try a different location. Perhaps you have already experienced that you see the same text quite differently when you change your location. The same idea applies to tools. If you read your paper only on the computer screen, print out your paper during your re-vision process! There is a huge difference between reading your paper on the computer screen and reading the same text on a hard copy. Your mind will be much more actively engaged when you read on a hard copy with a pen in your hand. It is also much easier for you to check out the connections of your ideas both at the paragraph level and at the essay level on a hard copy rather than on the computer screen.
Because of the advancement of computer technology, we are used to processing information on the computer screen. Although it is still possible for you to annotate the readings on the computer screen, there is a huge difference between reading the material on the computer screen and reading the material on a hard copy holding a pen in your hand. Therefore, you should print out the readings whenever possible instead of reading from the screen. You can print out a certain number of pages for free in public libraries (e.g. the King County Public Libraries 75 pages per week) as long as you have a library card.
It is also a great idea that you change the location when you revise your paper. If you usually work in the library, you may want to try a different location. Perhaps you have already experienced that you see the same text quite differently when you change your location.
Many international students often have difficulty organizing their ideas and developing their argument logically because rhetorical conventions differ from culture to culture. Developing your argument coherently by providing specific details and data is a very important aspect in US academic writing.
A coherence map is one of the most effective ways to check the connection of your ideas in your paper. The concept map is also known as "reverse outline" since you make an outline of your paper after you have finished the main ideas of your paper. Write down the main idea of each paragraph—which is called a topic sentence—on a blank piece of paper. Check to see if the topic sentences are connected to the thesis statement of your paper or if you have strayed from your main argument. As you repeat this process, it will help you become more aware of how to develop your argument coherently and how to organize your ideas effectively.
Here is a coherence map template you can use.
Sometimes you may not know how to interpret your instructors' comments. If you don't understand your instructor's comment, ask the instructor! Fully understanding feedback is essential in your revision process. Although it may not be the case with every class you take, you will learn that students here are strongly encouraged to revise their early drafts based on the feedback they have received from their instructor. And don't get discouraged if you see that your teacher has written numerous comments and suggestions for revision. Visit your instructor during his/her office hours and let the instructor know the specific aspects of the assignment about which you need further guidance or explanation. The individual meeting with your instructor is a great opportunity for you to learn the specific steps you should take in revising the paper as well as to better understand the goals of the particular assignment.
As you get feedback from various people (e.g. instructors, classmates, Writing and Communication Center peer tutors, librarians, etc), it is very important for you to reflect on their feedback when you revise your paper. Do not just correct simple errors, such as awkward sentence construction or word choices, and put away your paper. Many international students may feel quite embarrassed about grammatical mistakes in their writing and want to clean up all the errors that their instructors or Writing and Communication Center peer tutors pointed out. Although it is understandable that you do not want to show the grammatical mistakes to other people, you may make the same mistakes over and over again if you just put away your paper after inserting other people's feedback.
It is, therefore, critical to develop a systematic way of incorporating the comments and feedback from other people into your revision process. Keeping a log of your frequent mistakes or weaknesses can help draw your attention to the areas where you need to improve. Often, students do not even realize that they make the same mistake over and over. If you are not aware of the problem, you won't be able to fix it. Keeping a feedback log and an error log can help you become more aware of your strengths and weaknesses as a thinker, reader, and writer.
Here are an error log template and a feedback log template.
You should definitely utilize the Writing & Communication Center during your revision process. You can discuss any aspects of your writing which include understanding the assignment, researching a topic, constructing a thesis statement, synthesizing and integrating readings, developing and supporting ideas, organizing and clarifying ideas, grammar, vocabulary choice, mechanics, etc. The tutors who are trained to work with students on all types of writing assignments will guide you to recognize the aspects of your writing to which you should pay closer attention during your revision process and learn from your revision process. However, the tutors will not simply proofread your paper for grammatical or typing mistakes. Instead, they will teach you how to proofread and edit your paper. (See the section "Writing and Communication Center" for further information).
By seeing how other students think and write about the same topic, you will learn to look at your own writing from a different perspective. By critiquing your peer's work, you will learn various aspects of academic writing—both content and writing issues—and you will be able to strengthen your own arguments and edit your own work more effectively. So, utilize the opportunity to get comments on your early drafts from your classmates. Make sure that you mark your peer review dates on your calendar and prepare a draft of your paper by the due dates! (See the section "Peer Review" for further information).

Museum of Wisconsin Art opens new building
After researching and refining the history of Wisconsin art for decades, the Museum of Wisconsin Art will be able to tell more of its story starting this weekend. It will reopen in a dramatic new building nestled on the Milwaukee River at 205 Veterans Ave., West Bend - a gleaming, white wedge with twice the space for art inside.
The museum also is altering its narrative, opening up what it means to focus on "Wisconsin art" and creating a greater focus on contemporary art.
The new building includes a glassy entrance with a soaring atrium, where one work of art, a video triptych by Tom Bamberger, is installed. Up on a nearby balcony is a space called "One" where the museum will show one living Wisconsin artist at a time. It will inaugurate that space with work by Reginald Baylor.
There's a new, changing exhibition gallery, where the museum will show "Antifragile," an exhibit of contemporary artists in the state working in glass, including Beth Lipman, Stephan Cox, Lisa Koch, Jeremy Popelka, Karen Naylor and others.
The $9 million museum building, designed by Milwaukee architect Jim Shields of HGA Architects, includes bright and energy-efficient permanent collection galleries where works by artists from the state's history of art will be unfurled, including a wonderful landscape painting by Edward Steichen, a dramatic work of a white moose by Tom Uttech and the massive "The Flagellants" by Carl von Marr.
An opening celebration, free and open to the public, is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. A family day will follow Sunday, when regular entrance fees apply.
A single entry fee includes an annual membership and the opportunity to return free an unlimited number of times. Entrance for one is $12; $24 for two at the same address,

We visited Hiroshima a few years ago, and it was a very moving experience. The Peace Park is full of tragic and hopeful scenes. One of the sites that struck me the most was this building, the former promotion hall, that was at ground zero of the bomb. As you walk around the area, you come to a shinto alter which contains the names of the victims. As you gaze through an opening in the alter, you see in the distance the peace flame and beyond that, the promotion hall. Peace Park is a place of rememberance and teaching, not just sorrow, although there is plenty of that. The plan there is to leave the peace flame burning until nuclear weapons have been eradicated, then it will be extinguished. We were there in winter and this tree was very stark and very fitting with feelings I had looking at the building.
Deborah just asked me to show the original image so I'm adding it in here.

This tax season is filled with complexities like the late-breaking fiscal cliff negotiations that led the IRS to delay the start for eight days. Here are some tips and information on how these and other complexities will impact taxpayers this year and how to get the most out of this year's return, including:
The fiscal cliff negotiations will affect this year's tax return – the late-breaking legislation resulting from the fiscal cliff negotiations has already impacted taxpayers' paychecks as the Payroll Tax Holiday expired and was not extended, meaning this tax benefit that had lowered the taxpayer required Medicare tax payment by 2 percent in 2011 and 2012 is no longer there. Taxpayers have already seen a 2 percent drop in take-home pay.
Avoid tax return identity theft – Tax return identity theft is a huge issue and is on the rise, with more than 1.2 million cases identified by the IRS in 2012. Thieves essentially steal identity information and file a fraudulent return in the victim's name to collect the tax refund. Filing early can help safeguard you from identity theft by locking out criminals.
Life changes can drive more significant tax changes – There are many more life changes to consider than the ones you always hear about like having a baby or buying a home. Other common life changes that happen more and more today can also lead to a larger refund, such as a child returning to live at home, caring for an aging parent (note the parent does not have to live with you to trigger the tax benefit) or even you or your spouse deciding to go back to school.
The IRS is not able to regulate tax preparer – Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled that the IRS does not have the authority to regulate the thousands of previously unregulated tax preparers the IRS had planned to regulate. Approximately 60 percent of Americans enlist the help of a paid tax professional to file their income tax returns according to the IRS, and without federal oversight, it's essential that consumers know what to look for in a qualified tax preparer.
With so many recent and significant tax law changes, a paid preparer needs to be knowledgeable and up-to-date on the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and how it applies to your situation.
E-file your return – There are great benefits to e-filing a tax return, include faster processing time (you can receive your refund in 7 to 13 days), greater accuracy and confirmation the IRS has received your return.

Ehmaniella burgessensisTrilobite with 13 segments and a small tail shield
Trilobita (Order: Ptychopariida)
Trilobites are extinct euarthropods, probably stem lineage representatives of the Mandibulata, which includes crustaceans, myriapods, and hexapods (Scholtz and Edgecombe, 2006).
Species name:
Ehmaniella burgessensis
Described by:
Description date:
Ehmaniella – modification of Ehmania, a trilobite genus name coined in 1935 by C. E. Resser to honour Philip Ehman (Montana) for his geological assistance.
burgessensis – from the Burgess Shale.
Type Specimens:
Holotype (E. burgessensis) – USNM116245; Holotype (E. waptaensis) – USNM116243 in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA.
Other species:
Burgess Shale and vicinity: Ehmaniella waptaensis Rasetti, 1951.
Other deposits: other species have been reported from elsewhere in the Cambrian of North America.
Middle Cambrian, Bathyuriscus–Elrathina Zone (approximately 505 million years ago).
Principal localities:
The Walcott, Raymond and Collins Quarries on Fossil Ridge. The Trilobite Beds on Mount Stephen, and smaller localities on Mount Odaray.
Brief history of research:
Walcott illustrated two Burgess Shale trilobite specimens in establishing Ptychoparia permulta in 1918. Resser (1937) saw that the two individuals belonged in different species, but erroneously used Walcott's clearly designated primary type of permulta to found the new combination Elrathia dubia. Rasetti (1951) declared Resser's dubia invalid, left the original type of permulta in Elrathia, and employed Walcott's other specimen as a paratype of a new species (burgessesnsis), which he assigned to Resser's 1937 genus Ehmaniella. Ehmaniella waptaensis, also described by Rasetti in 1951, is nearly indistinguishable.
Hard parts: adult dorsal exoskeletons may reach 2.8 cm long. The semicircular cephalon is about one-third the length of the dorsal shield, bordered by a well-defined rounded rim; wide free cheeks often show anastomosing ridges and carry short, sharp genal spines. Strong transverse eye ridges extend to relatively large eyes, which are located at or behind cephalic mid-length. The bluntly rounded glabella tapers evenly forward and bears three pairs of shallow lateral furrows; the pre-glabellar field is short. A thorax of thirteen parallel-sided segments has a barrel-shaped outline and a rather broad axial lobe. The short, wide, rounded triangular pygidium usually shows 4 or 5 axial rings with corresponding pleurae. The surface of the exoskeleton is variably granulate.
Unmineralized anatomy: rare specimens of Ehmaniella from the Walcott Quarry and above on Fossil Ridge preserve a pair of slender uniramous antennae (Walcott, 1918; Rudkin 1989). These are sometimes associated with a dark stain adjacent to the exoskeleton, presumably representing fluidized decay products.
Relatively common on Fossil Ridge and locally abundant in the Walcott Quarry (fourth most common trilobite with about 400 specimens observed, only 13 of which are E. waptaensis, Caron and Jackson, 2008).
Maximum size:
28 mm
Life habits:
Epibenthic, mobile
Feeding strategies:
Deposit feeder
Ecological Interpretations:
Like similar-looking ptychoparioid trilobites, Ehmaniella may be interpreted as a fully mobile, epibenthic deposit (particle) feeder.

The quest to improve test coverage for src/extend_vtable.c has continued. Some dragons were slayed, a few trolls were paid tolls to cross creaky bridges of abstraction and many siren calls to hack on other code were dutifully ignored (mostly).
This TPF grant has forced me to become very familiar with Parrot vtables (virtual tables), which is basically an API for talking to Parrot PMCs (really just objects with a funny name). PMC can stand for Parrot Magic Cookie or PolyMorphic Container. Take your pick.
Firstly, vtable is already slang for "vtable function", which expands to "virtual table function." What the junk is a "virtual table function" ? I find that the simplest way to think about it is that every PMC has slots or buckets with standardized names such as get_bool (get Boolean value) or elements (how many elements does this PMC have?)
All PMCs inherit sensible defaults for most vtables, but they are allowed to override them. Why would you want to override them? As a simple example, let us assume there is a vtable called length (there isn't actually, but it makes an easy example to explain these concepts). Our length vtable will act just like elements and tell us how many elements a PMC has. If we had a complex number PMC that was really just an FixedFloatArray PMC of two numbers underneath, the length would always return 2 for every complex number. Not very useful.
A much more useful length vtable would use the coefficients a and b from a + b*i and compute the Euclidean distance (length from the origin) sqrt(a^2 + b^2). Hopefully you now have a taste for what what vtables are about. Parrot PMCs have over 100 vtables that can be overridden to provide custom functionality.
I recently ran across the hashvalue vtable and couldn't find any tests for it in Parrot core (outside of the test that I had written for it in extend_vtable.t) or any use of it in Rakudo Perl 6. Oh noes! It seemed like an unused/untested feature, so I created a Trac Ticket to mark it as deprecated so it could be removed in a future release.
The discussion about the ticket was fierce. NotFound++ explained why the vtable was important and the mighty coding robot known as bacek++ manifested tests quickly.
Yet another case of this grant work having a positive impact on the Parrot codebase, even outside the embed/extend interface. I also improved an error message in the PMCProxy PMC, which arises when something goes bad during a partial re-compile. Yay for improved debuggability!
According to the current code coverage statistics, extend_vtable.c is up to 54% coverage from 43%, which is not quite where I predicted from my last update. No doubt this has something to do with me packing and preparing to move to a new house this month. My velocity didn't decrease so much as the amount of time that I had to work on this grant.
I am greatly enjoying working on this grant and even if it is going a bit slower than I had planned, I am very confident that it will be completed in the next few months and hopefully sooner.

Dear Vanessa,
I am trying to save money and bring my lunch to work. I also want to do what's best for the environment. Do you have some ideas about how to 'do lunch' better?
— Lunching in L.A.
Dear Lunching,
You have my full support! Greening your brown-bag lunch is a great way to save money, the environment, and — if you're like most of us — improve your health. I know I'm a broken record, but once again: What's good for the environment is good for us, and the best solutions tend to be the most economical ones.
Concentrating on what food you buy and how it's packaged is one of the best green steps you can take. (For more tips on packing a sustainable punch at lunch, see MNN's guide on how to green your lunch.)
Some of my suggestions
- Buy in bulk, it saves money and reduces waste from packaging and transportation. Buying large quantities at once isn't always practical for individuals, especially when it comes to perishable foods. Don't just think of bulk as the amount you buy, but also how it is sold. Buying from bins — think flour, rice, dried fruit, sugar, nuts, snacks, cereal, beans – allows you to buy the amount you need, and saves money and resources. (Don't forget to bring your own bags!) This includes drinks. Buy the largest containers you can find. Frozen concentrates are a good alternative to bottles of juice — unless it's local and fresh-squeezed, you're just paying for the space and weight of water.
- Take food and drinks to work or school in reusable containers (metal, glass, ceramics) and bring silverware and a cloth napkin. Pack it all into a sturdy bag. I put our names on everything and pack lunches in cloth bags that I can throw in the wash. When buying packaged food, I look for containers (usually glass) that can be used for lunches and storage once they're empty — think salsa jars repurposed as yogurt containers.
- Buying food locally is one of the best ways to green your diet and strengthen your local economy. On average, the food on your plate has traveled at least 1,500 miles. That's a lot of gas for one carrot to burn! Stock up at the farmers market and join a CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is basically a way of buying shares in a farm. Local Harvest and Food Routes are good resources for finding CSAs and food grown in your area.
- Don't buy bottled water ... never, ever. Invest in a filter if you're worried about the tap water in your area. Keep in mind that most bottled water is nothing more than tap water in plastic — plastic that may be leaching BPAs and phthalates. Municipal water is better regulated than bottled water, anyway.
- Avoid the health and environmental dangers of plastics. Bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor that mimics the effects of estrogen and is linked with prostate cancer, chromosomal abnormalities and obesity. Containers with recycling symbol No. 7 tend to leech bisphenol A, and almost all canned foods are lined with it. Plastics marked with No. 3 (Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC) contain phalates that can cause genital abnormalities. Polystyrene (No. 6) — found in cups, plates, bowls, utensils and take out containers — is a probable neurotoxin. Avoid putting warm or acidic foods in plastic, or using containers that are worn or scratched. Never heat food in plastic ("microwave safe" simply means the container can go in a microwave; it has nothing to do with your safety).
Glass is long lasting and safer than plastic. Ceramic can't be recycled, but it is also long lasting and heat-safe, and while mining and processing takes a huge toll on our health and the planet, metal containers are generally a better option than plastic because they last so long. Even if buying a safe, reusable container costs more, it will benefit your wallet and health in the long run. For information on the dangers of bisphenol A in plastics, look here.
- Stay away from single-serve packaging. You're usually paying for a dangerous and unnecessary convenience. That goes for drinks, cheese, snack bars, yogurt, whatever. Most things (it's sometimes hard to call them "foods") that are over-packaged are also over-processed. The best single-serve foods come in their own packaging (apples, nuts, potatoes…). Why pay for an over-processed "health bar" when you can get an even healthier piece of fruit for half the cost?
- For both your health and wallet, don't drink sodas. Avoid a lot of fruit juice also; you are much better off eating fresh, whole fruits. Orange juice, for example, has such a high concentration of sugar that it interferes with the absorption of vitamin C. Seep slices of lemon, orange or cucumber, or add leaves of mint and lemon verbena as a refreshing way to spruce up water.
- Put leftovers to work by bringing them to work. Or make extra servings that you can pack for lunch as you are cleaning up from dinner.
Keep it Green,
Inspiration to get and keep you going:
- The EPA estimates every child who brings a brown-bag lunch to school will generate 67 pounds of waste over the school year. If those kids adopted a waste-free lunch habit — as you seem to be ready to do — we could divert more than 3.5 billion pounds of trash from landfills every year.
- According to WasteFreeLunches.org, a child who bring her own lunch to school will save about $250 a year.
- An estimated 500 billion plastic bags are consumed worldwide every year (that's a million bags per minute), and the EPA says 380 billion plastic bags and wrappers are consumed in the U.S. alone. The Wall Street Journal says using 100 billion plastic shopping bags costs retailers $4 billion a year. How many of those bags have carried our to-go meals?
- Each durable, reusable bag has the potential to replace 1,000 plastic bags.
- Plastic doesn't biodegrade, it photodegrades. That means that when it eventually starts to breakdown, it isn't reabsorbed in a natural cycle but rather becomes smaller pieces of the same toxic substances, contaminating soil and water and eaten by animals (like us).

My trusty basic Janome, which has been used literally just about every day (and night) for the past four years, has been acting up a bit lately, so I thought it would be a good idea to buy another machine. So, I went with another Janome, an HD-1000, and it now joins old blue in my little studio.
I wanted another basic, meaning not computerized, machine and this one is great. I actually have a computerized machine, but I prefer basic models. I just think the stitch quality is better, and I never use any decorative stitches, so this was perfect for me.
Plus, for under $300, it was a great deal!
Here's my new machine. It's got a nice sized throat and a handy ruler along the bottom edge of the machine.
I used it to quilt my version of Fenced In, and have started piecing my next quilt on it. It sews like a dream!

Cohen Pleads GUILTY
Lock him up!
Michael Cohen, famously Trumps top lawyer, had this to say about lying to congress about the Trump Moscow Project - which he also admitted was in the works up to the middle of 2017 "I made these statements to be consistent with Individual-1's political messaging and out of loyalty to Individual-1,"... Individual-1 is understood to be President Donald Trump. Cohen is the 33rd person Mueller has charged in this "witch hunt" (thats A LOT of witches!).

Morgan Shepherd: The Last Of The Moonshiners
Morgan Shepherd Labors To Maintain A Link Between Racing And Its Notorious Roots
Slowly, yet with purpose, the racer uses his pocketknife to cut the grass away from the grave marker. Determined, he cuts and removes the grass one handful at a time.
Soon the overgrown crabgrass is cleared from the marker, removing what has obscured part of the racer's heritage, and revealing the name of the man who helped bring him into the world.
The racer — the man who left Ferguson, North Carolina, the son of a dirt poor logger and moonshiner and the same man who would return years later driving a tricked-up classic Jaguar — was searching minutes before for the marker bearing the name of his father, a man of the mountains. "I know it's here," he says. "I know this is the spot."
Just a few feet away, at the edge of the cemetery, sits the Jaguar. "The fastest car in Hickory," the racer says. It makes for quite a contrast — the lush green hills at the foothills of the Blue Ridge, the immaculate bright red sports car in the parking lot of the small country church.
No checkered flags today. Just a few pictures for a photographer, a little insight, some basic information for a writer, and some stories from the life of a racer.
Morgan Shepherd's story isn't a success story about a country boy making it in the world. His story is about working hard, making it, losing a drivers part of what you've built, then relying on your religious convictions to never give up in the quest to build again. His story is about the lessons you learn when you're 12 and your father dies, about the lessons you learn growing up in the rural South during the 1940s and '50s. "Survival — that's what mountain life is," he says. "You take a little bit and stretch it a long ways. That's what I've been able to do over the years."
Running Shine
Morgan Shepherd is a breed of racer from the old mold, a breed all but left behind by the growth and glitz of Winston Cup racing during the last decade. He's survived insurmountable odds, including poverty, problems with alcohol, and a reputation for being difficult to work with.
Yet at 60, Shepherd's still searching for a seat in a competitive race car. He's long past his prime, and long past the age a big-buck sponsor is willing to invest in. Still, Shepherd remains undaunted. He knows he can still get up on that wheel in a competitive car and run with the best of them.
Shepherd, and racers such as Dale Earnhardt, Bobby Allison, Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, and Cale Yarborough, helped to mold what's now known as Winston Cup racing with their hard-charging style of driving.
Like Morgan, many of those drivers came from hard times in the rural South. In NASCAR's early years, some men became professional drivers literally from running moonshine. Those racers brought their extreme drive to succeed — to make it out of backwater towns — to the racetrack. They had to drive hard to put food on the table. That was their edge. Shepherd was like that. He always knew he could reach for the stars because he would outwork everyone.
Shepherd was born in 1941 in Ferguson, North Carolina. His parents were farm workers. His dad, Jesse Clay Shepherd, also made moonshine. Revenuers were always just one step behind, ready to take away the family's breadwinner. In the hills of western North Carolina in the '30s and '40s, there was logging, and there was moonshine. Shepherd's father did both. "The first time I can ever recall actually seeing my father was when I was 4 years old and he was walking down the road," Shepherd recalls. "He was just returning home from a year in prison for making moonshine. It was a way of life back then."
Shepherd says that when he was 8 years old, his father moved to the Conover-Hickory area of North Carolina and attempted to change his lifestyle. He aimed to do public work and find a job to support his family.
But the lure of the mountains was too strong. Within a year and a half, he was back in Ferguson, building a still in the basement of the family's house. Shepherd says he got into the moonshine business himself briefly when he was in his late teens. He and a friend built a still. "One evening, when we got off work, we were headed over to the still and heard this awful explosion just right before we got to it, like a quarter-mile away," Shepherd says. "The revenuers down there blew our still up, so we took off running. They never caught us and never connected us to it."
Shepherd knew that if he was ever going to get away from the farm or selling moonshine, he had to work hard and find a skill. When he was 10, he bought a '49 Wizard bike and learned how to take it apart and put it back together.
At age 11 he could take an engine apart and reassemble it. By age 12 he bought his first car, a 1937 Chevrolet coach. "I gave $12.50, two flying squirrels, a gray squirrel and a 20-gauge shotgun for it," Shepherd says.
The shotgun belonged to his father. That was the toughest thing he had to part with in the deal.
Time To Race
By age 16, Shepherd went to nearby racetracks. He didn't race because he didn't have a license. And he didn't have a license because he kept losing his privileges when police officers caught him racing on backroads, or getting into other mischief. In fact, he didn't have a driver's license until he was 26, the age he also was before he actually got into a race car for competition.
Shepherd began his career in 1967 driving Late Models at Hickory Motor Speedway near his home. Hickory has produced some of the sport's greatest drivers and mechanics, including Harry Gant, Tommy Houston, the late Bobby Isaac, Dale Jarrett, and Andy Petree.
Shepherd was a diamond in the rough. Some of his first races were relatively short due to crashes. He would come from the back to the front, and sometimes went back to the rear again. But he kept digging. He survived those early days because of help from friends, some of whom would pitch in just $5 at a time. "I've always had dear friends who cared about me and helped out," says Shepherd. "Glen Canipe bought parts for my race car many times. Glen had a wife and nine kids. He was just a worker like me. I can remember to this day hearing Glen tell his wife, 'Honey we have to cut down on groceries this week because we've got to buy Morgan some parts.' I will never forget that."
Shepherd exploded on the scene full time in 1969, running in the Hobby division at Hickory in a 1955 Chevy, winning 21 of 29 races. "I ran all but eight of those races on the same left-front tire," he recalls.
He ran the same car in 1970, but put a 1957 Chevy body on it. He won seven races early that year before he wrecked and nearly destroyed the car. He put a 1966 Chevelle body on, but the car didn't win another race. He sold the car to another up-and-coming Saturday-night racer, Harry Gant, for $175 — about half the cost of one driversyear Eagle racing tire today.
Shepherd was on his way in 1970, finally making it in racing. He built his own cars and engines, competing at scores of tracks in the Southeast. He ran in his first Winston Cup race in 1970, but his official rookie season wouldn't come until much later.
Living Fast
Morgan's life was looking up. He was winning races, fulfilling a childhood dream. He was 29 years old and on a rocket. But he was getting into mischief — drinking and living fast again.
Shepherd had a drinking problem that didn't show up every day or even every week. But when he drank, he says, he drank heavily. He would disappear for days at a time, spending the night with different women and waking up with no money in his pocket.
Shepherd's career suffered the next few years. His habits cost him victories, and they also cost him his marriage. Losing his wife smacked Shepherd in the face. He knew he needed to change.
On February 23, 1975, Morgan accepted Christ as his personal savior, looking to get control of his life. "I had a full-time job building furniture," Shepherd says. "We were running four nights a week in places all over the Southeast — Columbia, Hickory, Kingsport and Fayetteville. I was a typical American boy in the fast lane. If I had been wealthy, I would have gotten into real trouble. I went to Daytona in 1975, and when I got back my wife had left me. I accepted Jesus Christ into my life. I realized just how harmful my life had become. I wasted a lot of years letting alcohol do my thinking for me. The one thing in life I loved to do the most (racing) was being taken away from me because of my lifestyle."
Then he started to climb back, driving anything he could. He ran 60 races that year for 17 different car owners and finished second in the NASCAR Sportsman national championship to L.D. Ottinger, who was financed heavily by the Black Diamond Coal Mining Company.
Shepherd's big break came in 1978, when he hooked up with Cliff Stewart, who owned a western North Carolina furniture factory. The Stewart-Shepherd combo ran in about 60 races a year from 1979-1980, and won a lot of races and the 1980 NASCAR Sportsman series (now Busch Grand National) national championship. But even then, trouble was brewing. Shepherd's race shop burned down during that 1980 championship run. He worked on his car out in the open on just a concrete slab. He had one employee and one race car. Still, he won nine races and finished second 21 times.
Moving Up
After conquering that title, Shepherd set his sights on Winston Cup. "Cliff came to me in October of 1980," Morgan remembers. "He says, 'Morgan, me and mom (Cliff's wife) have talked about it and we want to help you run for Rookie of the Year. I called Mike Laughlin (Winston Cup car builder) and ordered a Pontiac. Then I found a shop, leased it for $450 a month, and hired my team. In the beginning, I was the only guy on that team who could weld."
Shepherd missed the first two races of 1981, Riverside, California, and the Daytona 500. He went to the third race of the season at the old Richmond fairgrounds raceway and sat on the pole. He finished the race in fourth place. "Just after the Richmond race, some of the newspapers made fun of my rag-tag crew," Shepherd says. "They said we were mostly misfits. Some of those boys are still in the sport today in top positions."
That year turned out to be a great season for Shepherd's rookie year. He had 29 starts, with three Top-5s and 10 Top-10 finishes. He led 690 laps and won $165,329 that season — about the cost of one fully equipped race car and spare engine in today's world. And he finished a respectable 13th in the point standings.
But more importantly, Shepherd served notice that he was for real. He won the Virginia 500 on the half-mile Martinsville Speedway in his rookie season — a season that also included rookie drivers Tim Richmond and Ron Bouchard. Shepherd was on his way, but it wasn't smooth sailing. Shepherd says his crew wanted more money. Stewart ended up hiring a new crew chief in the middle of the season. The new crewman and Shepherd didn't get along. "I almost whipped his rear end in the garage area at Talladega," Shepherd says. Shepherd won the points system for Rookie of the Year, but didn't get the award.
Some say his rough-and-tumble style and his relationships with his crew and owner were to blame. Bouchard won the title; Shepherd and Cliff Stewart split up. "We had something special," Shepherd says. "We would've been a force in racing, but all the hard headedness destroyed it all. Sometimes situations like that only come along a few times in life."
Ups And Downs
Shepherd then entered into another career slump. He drove next for independents Cecil Gordon and Buddy Arrington with little success. He also teamed with country music star T.G. Shepherd in 1982. "T.G. tried to persuade me to advertise beer on my car," Shepherd says. "Coors called to sponsor our car. With alcohol in my past, I just couldn't do it."
In 1984 he picked up whatever he could find. Most of the rides were sub-standard. In 1985 he stepped in to replace an injured Butch Lindley. Larry McReynolds, today's FOX television analyst and former Dale Earnhardt crew chief, was the crew chief.
A big break came again only a short time later when Jack Beebe called to put him in the Race Hill Farm Winston Cup ride Ron Bouchard vacated in 1985. "I was getting up in my 40s at the time and was wondering if a break was ever going to happen," Shepherd says.
Suitcase Jake Elder was the crew chief. Elder had been crew chief for almost every famous driver in NASCAR: Buddy Baker, Dale Earnhardt, David Pearson, Darrell Waltrip, and many more. But Shepherd and Elder clashed. The team often wrecked or ran poorly.
Then, at the Motorcraft 500 in March 1986, Shepherd held off four of the sport's best — Earnhardt, Terry Labonte, Darrell Waltrip and Bill Elliott — to win. His unexpected triumph came in a dramatic four-lap dash after a caution. "With 40 laps to go, I couldn't see," Shepherd says. "I was trying not to cry. I knew I had to keep my self-control because we were so close to finally winning a big one, a major race. My racing career was nearly gone just a year before, and I was getting ready to win a big one." Shepherd was 44.
The triumph, plus a win in the Busch Series event at Bristol just days later, and a victory in the Sportsman portion of the Miller 500 tripleheader at Martinsville, was the third win for Shepherd within a 20-day stretch. He was on top of the world, but it wouldn't last.
Drag racer Kenny Bernstein called Shepherd for a ride in 1987. They split up after only one season. The bad season with Bernstein rolled over in 1988 when Shepherd tried to make a go of it with his own team. The team failed and the whole deal ended up in litigation. Next he drove in 1989 for Bob Rayhilly and Butch Mock.
Then, in 1990, famed team owner Bud Moore hired Shepherd to drive his potent Fords. Bud Moore Engineering had over 60 wins, and was a top ride in its heyday with drivers such as Bobby Allison, Buddy Baker, Geoff Bodine, Dale Earnhardt, and Joe Weatherly. "My crew and I were really happy when it became apparent we were getting a driver of Morgan's caliber," says Moore. "We were looking for a drivers year in 1990, and we were going to do a lot of testing, which we hadn't done before because we didn't have quite enough budget and personnel."
The team, which had Motorcraft as a sponsor, led the championship point race until mid-season. Mechanical troubles in the last half pushed them back to fifth place in the final standings.
Igloo came on as a sponsor in 1991 for $1.5 million — a hefty chunk in those days. But Morgan says the team only bought one new car. "I really liked Bud," Shepherd says. "But he was known for taking his money and putting it on his farm. I was so disgusted at the time that I called Ford and told them to get me out of the situation."
The team did win once at Atlanta, before the Moore-Shepherd combination dissolved at the end of 1991.
The Wood brothers came calling next. The combo produced one win in three years at, you guessed it, Atlanta. In the end, however, sponsor Citgo wanted to go with a younger driver. Shepherd was replaced by Michael Waltrip for 1995. At that point Morgan was 53. He hitched a ride with Butch Mock for the 1996 season. He drove sporadically in 1997 for Richard Jackson. "From a personal standpoint, it's been really tough for me," Shepherd says. "I've done everything I could do to get a ride since then. I tried to get on ESPN to get publicity, but it wouldn't help me. It was really depressing because I've been in this sport for so long."
Shepherd tried to do his own deal in 1999. He had sponsorship from a group of South Carolina insurance agencies, or so he thought. "It was a $25 million multi-year contract," Shepherd says. "They pulled out and left me hanging with a big debt. That put me in a bad financial situation." The failed deal is still in litigation.
The list of disappointments has ranged from the ordinary to the bizarre. Shepherd got a call last year from a fan in Pennsylvania who said he'd won the lottery and wanted to help. Shepherd set up meetings with NASCAR and then found out the guy was a phony.
He's been picking up things wherever and whenever he can since. He has tested for the Wood brothers, driven ARCA and Busch cars, as well as several events in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He went to the Daytona 500 in 2001, but failed to qualify. "I would be a drivers car owner, if someone believed in me," Shepherd says. "I've been talking to Ford, but nothing concrete yet."
What's Next?
Since 1981 Shepherd has driven for 23 different car owners, counting one-race deals and the times he fielded a team himself. He's won four Winston Cup races and more than $7 million in his career, and is tied with Larry Pearson for eighth place on the Busch Series Grand National Division victory list with 15. "Morgan's a much better driver than he gets credit for," says famed car owner Leonard Wood. "I thought he did a great job for us. The thing about him was the longer the race went green the better he looked. He was tough. And he was a great chassis (setup) guy."
Says Shepherd, "I still want to race. I haven't lost that desire. And I want to prove that life isn't over after 50. Harry Gant lost his desire to race at age 53, but he still could've won races. It's hard in later years in life as a driver because corporations won't spend their money on older guys."
For Shepherd, it's hard to be on the outside looking in — especially when you've been on the inside for as long as he has. "I can't even get a hard card (garage credentials) from NASCAR," Shepherd says. "They forget you pretty quick." But no matter, Shepherd's been there before. "I was able to get involved in racing and learned the only way you were ever going to have anything was you have to be persistent and stay after it. I learned to build cars, to build engines," Shepherd says. "It's a rich man's sport, but I'm one of the few people who's come into this sport without any kind of money background or any kind of support, other than just the poor people who helped me get there."
The Story Doesn't End Yet
In 2001, 2002 and 2003 Morgan did campaign his own Craftsman Truck in forty-seven races. He ran fourteen Busch races in 2003 and so far in 2004 he has had one Busch Series start in Ware Racing Enterprises #57 at Bristol. He started five Cup races in 2002, two in 2003 and his last start in 2004 was at Martinsville with his own car.
At age 62, Morgan can still run with the big dogs, at least some of them. Morgan, with his one car and one engine finished only one lap less than two of RCR's cars and ahead of two of Roush Racing's drivers. Morgan ran 492 laps and was running at the end of the race. We have to wonder what he could have accomplished with better equipment. Morgan may not be competitive at every track and that's understandable because of the lack of funding. But keep in mind that Martinsville is a demanding track, like all short tracks, on man and machine. It was easy to see that a racer's heart still beats inside Morgan Shepherd.
Morgan's 32nd place finish paid him $55,050.00. He probably spent more. He could have stayed home and broken even. But he didn't, and that says a lot about Morgan, the man, the racer, and why he was at Martinsville Speedway on a rough, demanding track in the heat.

The tool is a part of my TressFX porting for torque3d.
It exports blender's particle hair to tressfx's tfx file.
It is not completed, the animated skin is not finished. So it is not useful for fur exporting.
only used for hair.
If anybody need to play with hair, the tool may save your 1-2 hours writing an exporter.
I was porting the AMD tressfx hair lib to timmy's DX11 version.
But I am now losing my job, and I need to find a new job before returning to the development.

Margaret (Smith) Court is a former Australian tennis great turned pastor in something called the Victory Life Church. Earlier in the week she made statements with regard to homosexuality, marriage and political correctness. Some of her thoughts are listed below:
* "Politically correct education has masterfully escorted homosexuality out from behind closed doors, into the community openly and now is aggressively demanding marriage rights that are not theirs to take."
* ""[Marriages between a man and a woman] are not perfect, often dysfunctional and despite the fact the role models may be distorted and even severely flawed, there is no reason to put forward alternative, unhealthy, unnatural unions as some form of substitute."
* "To dismantle this sole definition of marriage [as between a man and a woman] and try to legitimize what God calls abominable sexual practices that include sodomy, reveals our ignorance as to the ills that come when society is forced to accept law that violates their very own God-given nature of what is right and what is wrong."
* "The fact that the homosexual cry is, 'We can't help it as we were born this way', as the cause behind their own personal choice is cause for concern. Every action begins with a thought. There is a choice to be made."
Someone decided to track down two of the sport's more outspoken gay rights activists—and legends that people outside Australia have actually heard of—to see what they had to say. While Billie Jean King very politely called Court a homophobe, Martina Navratilova brought out the big guns. "Seems to me a lot of people have evolved as has the Bible, [for example regarding] slavery. Unfortunately, Margaret Court has not. Her myopic view is truly frightening as well as damaging to the thousands of children already living in same gender families." Navratilova wasn't finished. She said that she has tried to talked to Court "but to say she's completely close-minded on the issue is an understatement."
The Australian Open is next month and Margaret Court will be front and center as some of the most talented men and women play in Margaret Court Arena.

A registered sex offender has been arrested after two boys reported seeing him riding a bicycle naked.
A registered sex offender has been arrested after two boys reported seeing him riding a bicycle naked.
The boys, 13 and 14 years old were playing at Oak Tree Nature Park in Mary Esther on Sunday when Kenneth Ray Poore apparently pedaled by them, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff�s Office.
A sheriff�s deputy called to the scene arrested Poore after finding him on a park bench, still exposed from the waist down, a news release from the Sheriff�s Office said.
�When he asked Poore what he was doing, he just shrugged,� the news release said.
He was charged with lascivious exhibition in the presence of a minor under 16 years old.
Poore, 58, who lives on Patrick Drive in Fort Walton Beach, spent 60 days in the county jail last year after he pleaded no contest to charges of indecent exposure and video voyeurism.
The deputy reported in that case that a man and his son each had an uncomfortable encounter with Poore in the bathroom at Beasley Park on Okaloosa Island.
One of the victims said he saw Poore peaking at him through a hole in a bathroom stall. The other reported Poore exposed himself a short time later through the same hole.
Poore also was arrested in 2000 for sexual assault involving an unlawful act with a minor. Fort Walton Beach police charged Poore with the crime after he reportedly fondled a sleeping girl in a motel room on Brooks Street. The report also said the girl had in oral sex with Poore.
According to Okaloosa County Clerk of Court records, Poore received a probated sentence after he pleaded no contest to the sexual assault charge. He later was ordered to spend 14.7 months in state prison for violating his probation.
Court records do not indicate when Poore was declared a sexual offender.

If you need to automatically test a user interface, this book is for you. Whether it's Windows, a Java platform (including Mac, Linux, and others) or a web app, you'll see
how to test it reliably and repeatably.
Many automated test frameworks promise the world and deliver nothing but headaches. Fortunately, you've got a secret weapon: Ruby. Ruby lets you build up a solution to fit your problem, rather than forcing your problem to fit into someone else's idea of testing.
This book is for people who want to get their hands dirty on examples from the real world—and who know that testing can be a joy when the tools don't get in the way. It starts with the mechanics of simulating button pushes and keystrokes, and builds up to writing clear code, organizing tests, and beyond.

In the Soho living room of Christopher and Alice Daniels, that piece is the rug. The antique Oriental rug belonged to Alice's mother, and its subtle colors\u2212peach and pale blue\u2212sparked her imagination. Designer Courtany Daniels Haden used the hues throughout the room with the incorporation of a blue painted Swedish sofa, and peach silk upholstery on a pair of 18th-century French chairs. The couple leaned towards muted tones throughout the space. "New York can be overstimulating," says Alice. "Sometimes you just need to escape." Tour the entire home here.

161 Meme (What Is It?)
I've been tagged? By the "161 meme" book doojiggy. My colleague Steve (www.stephendanko.com) did it. The idea is to get friends and colleagues to respond with the 6th sentence on page 161 of the current book they are reading. A little explanation usually helps! By the time I caught up to Steve's message, it fit nicely with my toying around for a blog article on the kinds of non-trade literature genealogists like to read, especially novels. While I also have two or three books on the go at once, I chose A Russian Diary by Anna Politkovskaya.
Page 161, sentence 6: "They say it is a small victory for us." This is a quote from government apologist Ella Pamfilova in September 2004, Chairperson of Putin's (then) newly created Presidential Commission on Human Rights. Ella sees it as a another victory for "the benign nature and democratic credentials" of Vladimir Putin. She reports support from all regions for this move. Cynical journalist Anna sees the commission as an action to control the human rights movement in Russia, which Putin considers his real opposition. Putin had already marginalized political opposition in elections by restricting the registration of other parties and removing the people's right to vote for individual candidates. An outspoken advocate for democracy and human rights, Anna was murdered in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment building in 2006. Her friend Alexander Litvinenko, a former FSB agent in exile in London who had urged her to flee death threats in Russia, accused the FSB of assassination. Anna was one of several free-speaking Russian journalists who have been mysteriously killed. Not long after, Litvinenko himself died from radiation poisoning placed in his teacup.
Now I wonder what these people are reading: AWCH, CDM, John Reid, Mary Anne, and Elayne. You know who you are. Just send your comment here.

Ball of Fire: The Tumultuous Life and Comic Art of Lucille Ball by Stefan Kanfer. Page 161, sentence 6: "Bacon heard the mother chortle that her baby's nose was 'turned up so much he'll drown if it rains--oh, Desi will be so happy.'" This describes the birth of Lucy and Desi's second child, a son named after his father. A daughter, named after Lucy, had been born to the couple two years before. Bacon, who heard the mother chortle, was an AP reporter who witnessed Desi Jr's birth. Sadly, Lucy and Desi had an unhappy marriage. It took many years for them to have children because Desi was so often away.
At the same time as I've been reading this biography, I've been watching tapes of old I Love Lucy shows. I haven't laughed so hard since my comedian friend died of breast cancer a year ago.

"Perhaps if Maude were allowed to visit him by herself, she would fill him with strength, whereas his parents filled him with anxiety and shame." That's the designated sentence in Arthur & George by Julian Barnes, one of the books I have on the go. Arthur is (Sir) Arthur Conan Doyle; George is George Edalji who served three years for a crime he didn't commit.
I'd previously read Barnes' History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters as well as several of his magazine pieces. The book was given me by a 96 year old lady who has not spent all those years on earth without learning to pick a good book. She also gave me an interesting genealogy puzzle, her paternal line of Temple that goes back to Norfolk, my home county in England, and according to oral tradition links to one of the two people by that name who signed Charles I's death warrant. I'm making very slow progress on the genealogy, but to compensate progress on the book is similarly glacial.

"They say it will rain this week. Hard to believe, isn't it?". Line 6, p. 161, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. An attempt by General Taheri to use casual conversation to re-direct Amir, the young refugee from Afghanistan, from his conversation with Taheri's daughter. The story is very poignant and relevant to today's events.

The tarp won't come off this "technical study" Frontier for another ninety minutes, but there's no mistaking the Cummins diesel badge on the front fenders. Cummins reps milling around the stage eliminate any traces of doubt that Nissan is serious about being a serious player in the truck efficiency arms race.
We've known Nissan's been planning a Cummins for their next Titan for some time now, but up until today the future of the Frontier hasn't been advertised. Though Nissan's truck guy Fred Diaz has been saying "we're studying the possibility of diesel being in more of our products going forward."
I'm guessing the Frontier's bodystyle will change before a radical powertrain update takes place, but it's exciting to see such a development in the small truck segment.
Hi there!
More to come when the cover comes off.
