Celine outlet italy 200 A new era in smartphone design The Apple iPhone completely revolutionised smartphones ten years ago in 2007.
While the last ten years have seen screens getting bigger and phones getting much more powerful, smartphone design hasn't evolved much. Until now that is. Starting with the Xiaomi Mi Mix last year, smartphone design is undergoing a fundamental shift with near bezel less designs taking us one step closer to a future where a smartphone is nothing more than a pane of glass. Leading the charge are the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8. Both smartphones look extremely futuristic with their edge to edge displays and bezel less designs and represent the bleeding edge in smartphone development. Also Read: Samsung Galaxy S8's new home button is its most innovative feature Both smartphones are also extremely important to their companies. The LG G6 comes after the resounding failure of phantom bag celine the LG G5 to set market charts on fire and the S8 has on its shoulders the responsibility to restore Samsung's reputation after the Galaxy Note 7 debacle. While the S8 is getting all the plaudits from critics and fans alike, can the LG G6 give Samsung's 'redemption' device a run for its money The future is here, nowThe LG G6 is the most well rounded smartphone the company has ever made. After the critical backlash received by the G5, LG has completely re imagined the G6 from the ground up. Gone is the removable battery, the incredibly gimmicky modular design, the tacky plastic finish on the back panel (which rendered the metal back celine outlet italy 325 moot) and in its place is a gorgeous glass and metal spectacle that looks absolutely incredible. Inspirations from the LG V20 can be seen here and there, especially in the back panel. Unlike Samsung's dual curved screen, LG has bucked the trend for curved displays and has gone for a complete flat approach that lends the G6 an almost industrial like appearance. After the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco last year, Samsung knew it had celine outlet stores california go all out with the Galaxy S8. The smartphone many hailed as the turning point in the Android iPhone war became the subject of one of the biggest PR crisis the company has faced since its inception. All over the world, users started reporting instances of the Galaxy Note 7's battery exploding which led to widespread recalls and even a ban on using the device in flight. Atleast on the design front, the S8 does not disappoint. The Galaxy S8 marries the Xiaomi Mi Mix's bezel less display with the Galaxy Note 7's dual curved design which results in a smartphone that undoubtedly looks incredibly striking. Both smartphones are in many ways a celine mini black bag reflection of the future. Both look exquisite, have stellar specifications and come with gorgeous displays Unlike the Galaxy S6 and S7, which gave users the option of a flat design and a curved display with the regular and Edge models respectively, this time Samsung has ditched the flat design entirely. Curves are definitely the way forward for Samsung's design ethos as both the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus feature curved displays, with the only difference between the two being screen size (5.8 vs 6.2inches) and battery size (3,00mAh vs 3,500mAh). The curved edges on the front and back, the near seamless edge to edge display, the absence of any physical buttons on front lend themselves to a design that looks incredibly exquisite and shockingly futuristic. Take a look at Samsung's PR speak "Elements that felt needlessly mechanical have been eliminated to only focus on the essence of the device itself, which resulted in a design that merges the user and device as one." The Galaxy S8's design does come with one big drawback though. Samsung has relocated the fingerprint sensor in order to accommodate the 'Infinity' display and pressure sensitive home button. Instead of placing the fingerprint sensor below the camera lens (in the middle of the back panel), Samsung has decided to place it right next to the rear camera on the right hand side. Not only is it difficult to locate blindly, its proximity to the camera lens will surely lead to a lot of smudges and fingerprints on the camera lens over time. There's no denying it. Both smartphones look absolutely sublime and choosing between the two will come solely down to personal tastes. It is very hard to explicitly state that one's design is superior to the other without letting biases and preferences get in the way. While it is an extremely close fight, for me the LG G6 edges out the Galaxy S8 solely on the virtue of having a sleek, industrial flat design. I have never been a big fan of curved designs and feel they are a bit too fragile and a case of form over function. Bonus points must be given to Samsung though for having the cohones to ditch their logo from the front of the Galaxy S8. Two cameras or oneWhen it comes to cameras, choosing between the two is a tricky proposition. On paper, the LG G6's dual rear cameras (13 MP each) seem more lucrative than Galaxy S8's single 12MP 'Dual Pixel' rear camera. While we are yet to experience the LG G6's camera, If the cameras on the LG V20 and G5 are anything to go by, we are sure the G6's dual camera setup will not disappoint. But things are not as simple as they appear. Yes, it is true that there is not much of a difference between the Galaxy S8 and S7's rear camera. But the fact remains that the S7 had celine large trio bag price and still has one of the best cameras ever to grace an Android smartphone. Add to that the fact that the S8 comes with a few software tweaks that the company claims improve photo quality and the S8's camera suddenly starts looking very enticing. However, there can be no denying that Samsung has fallen behind the pack when it comes to equipping their smartphones with dual cameras, especially when their primary competitor (read iPhone) adopted it way back in October 2016. An exacting verdict will have to wait till we get our hands on both devices and test them comprehensively. Till then, the G6 inches ahead on pure technical terms. Moving beyond specificationsBoth these smartphones are not really about specifications or having the most amount of RAM. Both aim to differentiate themselves from the pack of 'me too' Androids out there on the virtue of their design prowess. That doesn't mean they are lacking in the hardware department though. As with almost all flagships out there, both come with top of the line specifications. Where the Galaxy S8 edges out the LG G6 is in terms of the processor inside. LG on the other hand has eschewed the 835 in favour of the slightly older Snapdragon 821 because of SD 835 supply issues and to get the first mover advantage over the S8. Thus on paper, the Galaxy S8 wins this round. But the LG G6 strikes back when it comes to the battery with a 3,300mAh unit compared to the 3,000mAh power pack found on the Galaxy S8. While an increase of 300 mAh may not sound like much, every single mAh counts when the batteries are powering such enormous displays (5.7 inch for the G6 and 5.8 inch for the S8). It must be noted though that the S8 Plus has the largest battery of the three, at 3,500mAh. Both smartphones are extremely important to their companies. The LG G6 comes after the resounding failure of the LG G5 and the S8 has on its shoulders the responsibility to restore Samsung's reputation after the Galaxy Note 7 debacle However, we all know that hardware is not everything when it comes to defining a smartphone's performance. The iPhone is the best example of how optimised software negates the need for crazy specifications.
As there is no way of knowing true performance levels without actually using the devices, a full verdict will have to wait till we review both smartphones. But purely in terms of specifications, the S8 wins. .

CCNA FAQs & Tips
CCNA is a long topic to talk about and there are many tips that can help you save much time when sitting in the exam hall. From the comments here and information from other places, this article tries to summarize all the CCNA frequently asked questions to save you some time. Please feel free to ask anything that you are unclear about CCNA so that all of us can help you. I will update this article frequently to bring you newest information about this exam.
1. Please tell me how many questions in the real CCNA exam, and how much time to answer them?
Until now, you have 90 minutes to answer 50 questions in the real CCNA exam but if your native language is not English, Cisco allows you a 30-minute exam time extension. But there are a few requirements to get this extension, so the best way is asking your teacher or mentor before taking the exam.
2. How much does the CCNA Exam 200-125 cost? And how many points I need to pass the exam?
It now costs $325 (big money, right?) :)
The passing score is 810/1000.
3. How many ways can I get the CCNA certification?
There are 2 ways to achieve this certification:
- By taking two exams ICND-1 100-105 and ICND-2 200-105
- By taking only one CCNA 200-125 exam
4. I got the CCNA certification, will this certification expire?
CCNA certification is valid for three years. To recertify, pass the ICND2 exam, or pass the current CCNA exam, or pass a CCNA Concentration exam (wireless, security, voice), or pass the current CCDA exam, or pass any 300 – XXX professional level or Cisco Specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist exams), or pass a current CCIE or CCDE written exam.
5. After completing the INTRO exam (ICND 1), students currently have a three-year window in which to complete the ICND exam (ICND 2) to earn CCNA certification. Will this option still exist?
Yes, students will still be able to take and pass the first exam (INTRO or ICND1) and have a three-year window to pass the second exam (ICND2), before the first exam expires.
6. If students fulfill the exam requirements for the CCNA certification, will they also receive CCENT certification?
No, students who certify at the CCNA level will not earn CCENT certification. The purpose of the CCENT certification is to provide an option for those who aren't ready for CCNA.
(Information from http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le0/le9/learning_certification_type_home.html)
7. Which sims will I see in the CCNA exam?
The popular sims now are ACL1 Sim, IPv6 OSPF Sim, EIGRP GRE Troubleshooting Sim, RIPv2 Troubleshooting, DHCP Sim, Access-list 2 sims but no one can guarantee you will not see other sims in your exam. So the best way is practicing all sims on this site.
8. How many points will I get for one sim?
Well, Cisco doesn't tell how many points you will get for each correctly solved sim but from my experience, you will get from 80 to 100 points for each sim. Cisco maybe is a bit rude for sims because you will just get a few points if you can't solve the sim completely. So be careful with the sims and try to write all the commands on paper many times before taking this exam.
9. In the real exam, I clicked "Next" after choosing the answer, can I go back for reviewing?
No, this is a very important thing about CCNA exam. You can just go forward! You can visit http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/wwtraining/certprog/training/cert_exam_tutorial.html to be familiar with the exam interface.
10. What is the key to pass CCNA?
The CCNA exam covers many aspects of networking and most of the topics will be asked. But the most important topic is subnetting so make sure you understand how to subnet. Of course other topics are important too so you shouldn't bypass them.
11. Can I use short commands, for example "conf t" instead of "configure terminal"? Will I get full mark for short commands?
It is another big question in the CCNA exam. Some reports said that you can use the "Tab" and short commands but some said they didn't work. Sometimes the simulator in the exam doesn't accept short commands and marks as "incomplete command". Besides, no one can guarantee it will cost points or not if you use short commands so my recommendation is you should learn the full commands.
12. What are your recommended materials for CCNA?
There are many options you can choose, but below are materials used and recommended by many candidates:
- Sybex CCNA 6th edition by Todd Lammle
- Cisco Press ICND1 & ICND2 Certification Guide
- CCNA Networking Academy 1-4 (used in Cisco Academy so there is no link)
- Cisco 640-802 CCNA Portable Command Guide
- Cisco Discovery and Cisco Exploration study guide (used in Cisco Academy so there is no link)
The difference between CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration is "CCNA Discovery is designed for students with basic PC skills and can be delivered as an independent curriculum or integrated into broader courses of study at secondary schools, technical schools, colleges, and universities. CCNA Exploration is designed for students with advanced problem solving and analytical skills, such as those who are pursuing degrees in engineering, math, or science". (Reference from "new CCNA faq").
Video Training:
- CBT Nuggets
- Train Signal
- Testout
From my point of view, these video are just optional materials and they cost much, you can definitely pass the CCNA exam without buying them. If you have strong budget and want to learn in a more comfortable way then buy them! (but it is difficult to pass if just listening to them without reading books, believe me!)
Simulators (luckily, they're the best and free):
- Packet Tracer (and you can get real exam labs on my site here)
GNS 3 is really good and it uses real IOS so all the commands are available but these IOS are copyrighted so it is hard to get. Besides, GNS 3 needs much RAM to run so from my experience you should use the Router c2600 with 64MB RAM to run if your labs are simple (like assign IP addresses, hostname, RIP…). If you need to configure OSPF or EIGRP, use higher router. These two simulators are enough to practice labs for CCNA but if you want to learn about other simulators, check out my Free Router Simulators article. Packet Tracer is light, quick and convenient for common tasks but sometimes it doesn't act like real devices. A good point of Packet Tracer is that Cisco has many good labs (.pkt files) to practice with.

About Dumps…
If you use dumps like pass4sure, Testking or ActualTest… make sure you understand the concept behind each question. It's a very big mistake if you just learn which answer is correct without understanding the concept. Notice that in the real CCNA exam, you will be given different IP addresses, subnets and more options to choose; so it is easier to understand them than to learn them by heart. Finally, my advice is you just should use dumps as a final review after finishing the CCNA course.
13. How much time should I spend on each sim?
You should not spend more than 15 minutes for each sim. Recall that you only have 90 minutes so if you spend 15 minutes for each sim x 4 sims = 60 minutes (now the sims have been reduced to 3 but we calculate 4 sims for safe). The 30 minutes left is for solving 40 multiple choice questions. If you are not a native English speaker and have 30-minute expansion (ask your teacher or testing center to confirm) than you can spend 20 minutes for each sim.
14. Can I pass without doing sims?
As mentioned above, each sim will cost you from 80 to 100 points. In the real exam you will have to solve 4 sims that give from 320 to 400 points. Suppose you answer all other questions perfectly then you will get 600 to 680 points but the passing score is 825. It means that you surely fail if ignore them.
From the calculation above, if you miss only one sim the chance to pass is average but if you miss two, the chance to pass is very, very low.
15. I need to know if the exam questions are the same in all the geographical locations?
Yes, the exam questions are the same in all geographical locations. But notice that Cisco has a pool of questions and each time you take the exam, a number of random questions will show up so you will not see all the same questions as the previous exam.
16. I am going to take the exam in a few days and I wonder can we have a pen and paper for IP calculations or calculator itself?
You are not allowed to bring a calculator or anything else to the exam room. You can't use the virtual calculator in Windows, too. You will receive a rough paper or a small board to write everything you need during the exam. However, you should bring a pen or a pencil because sometimes the exam hall doesn't have one (yes, some exam centers are not good) and maybe it will make you more comfortable.
17. I failed the exam. Will I see the same questions and sims in my next try?
Cisco has a pool of questions and sims so you will see some same (but surely not all) questions in your next exam. Luckily, the sims are the same (read question 7 for popular sims in the exam).
18. In the exam, how can I access to the routers in the simulator?
As you can see in the exam, there is always one PC connected to the router you need configure. Just click on this PC to be taken to the CLI of the router (no need to type telnet … or do anything else). Of course it is not true in real life but maybe Cisco did it that way to save you some time!
19. I am going to take the exam in a couple of days. Where can I get newest information from candidates who have just passed the exam?
You can visit the Share your CCNA Experience section in this site, scroll down to the bottom of that page to read newest information about CCNA exam.I really want to say thanks to all candidates who are willing to share experience after taking the exam. It is an invaluable gift for CCNA candidates.
20. I passed CCNA. Do you have any site similar to 9tut.com for CCNP?
We have digitaltut.com for ROUTE, certprepare.com for SWITCH and networktut.com for TSHOOT, voicetut.com for CCNA Voice, securitytut.com for CCNA Security and dstut.com for CCDA. We always try our best to bring you newest information about these exams, hope you enjoy these sites too!
21. I am going to get my CCNA exam and I have a question: in the drag and drop questions are the answers must be arranged?
It depends on the questions. If the question clearly states that you have to arrange the answers in a given order (for example, from smallest to greatest; from lowest to highest; step 1,2,3…) then you have to arrange them correctly. In most cases, you don't need to arrange them so don't worry and don't try to learn the order shown in the materials you use before taking the exam.
22. Hi all, I want to ask if out of 5 questions in the sim 1 or 2 questions are answered wrongly, do we get 0 marks for that sim or get something for other correct answers?
You still get points for the parts you answered correctly so try to answer as much as possible for that sim.
23. Why don't I see any questions and answers on 9tut.com? I only see the explanation…
Because of copyrighted issues, we had to remove all the questions and answers. You can download a PDF file to see the questions at this link: http://congressreiki.ranm.org/?all=ccna-questions-and-answers

Back in April I gave a quick shout-out to The Greening of Southie, a documentary that tells the story of the construction of Boston's first green residential building project, the Macallen Building.
As a film about the trials and tribulations of green building, The Greening of Southie functions as an insider-y look at the oft-perplexing LEED rating system. But perhaps more importantly, the film is about the blue-collar laborers behind the Macallen project (many of them residing near the building site in traditionally Irish Catholic South Boston, aka "Southie") and their skepticism/curiosity towards green building methods. More than a movie about a place or a thing, which it could easily be, The Greening of Southie is a movie about people.
I recently had the chance to sit down with Ian Cheney, the director of Southie and one half of Wicked Delicate (the other half being Curt Ellis), the Brooklyn-based production company and advocacy project behind the film. Ian and Curt were also the stars and co-producers of another eco-documentary, 2007's King Corn.
Ian, it turns out, is a neighbor of mine so I was excited to find out more about a new Wicked Delicate project that I'd seen on neighborhoods streets: Truck Farm. Ian also filled me in on the Earth Week in Union Halls events where the film was screened at over 60 union halls across the country (The New Yorker recently published a great story on one of these screenings) to great acclaim. The screenings went over so well that Southie is being pushed as an educational tool for the construction trade.
Being an inquisitive guy who spent several years living in Boston, I had a few questions for Ian. He was kind enough to answer.
Matt Hickman: Let's start at the beginning. I can't imagine a place with more, and I hate to use this phrase, "local color," than South Boston. Did Southie find you or did you find Southie?
Ian Cheney: The developer of the Macallen Building, Tim Pappas, approached us about creating a time-lapse video of the building, but as we spent more time on site, we realized that there was a real story here that deserved a longer treatment. Having grown up just south of South Boston, I was very curious how this neighborhood would receive the Macallen Building. Our hope as storytellers, of course, was that it would prove an enlightening and entertaining backdrop for a very new way of building.
I'm surprised that Boston, a metropolis famed for innovation in so many areas, retains a somewhat old-school attitude when it comes to green building and other environmental concerns. Has the acceptance of green building changed in Boston since the Macallen Building opened?
I think the turning point occurred in 2007, when Boston's mayor decreed that all large buildings (bigger than 50,000 square feet) need to be LEED-certifiable. By establishing a baseline standard for Boston's big buildings, the mayor spawned a real shift in the construction business in the Boston area — just imagine all the contractors across town scrambling to write new "green mission statements" so that they could more effectively bid for jobs on new green buildings.
I see affordable green housing as the most important new challenge for the green building industry. For one thing, we're in a recession! As many of us seek to cut utility bills, the idea of living in a space that saves energy and reduces waste is almost irresistible. There's also an environmental justice component here; many low-income communities are disproportionately exposed to toxic living environments, and lack access to clean air and greenspace. While it's understandable that many green projects have been developed initially by/for wealthier clients, it's time to prioritize green housing for low-income communities.
You really take the mystique out of the LEED point system in the film. Going into filming, were the intricacies of LEED something you were familiar with or was it a learning experience for you?
While watching the Macallen Building take shape, Curt and I were struck by how much the construction workers wanted to know about this newfangled green building they were building, and by how little they were told during the process. Without a system in place to educate workers about what a green building really is — why it's important that it save energy and water, and how the multiple parts of the system interact — it seems like green buildings are only fighting half the battle. These buildings are a powerful opportunity to bring more people — especially folks with steel-toed boots and hard-hats, not your run-of-the-mill environmentalist — into the conversation about environmental sustainability.
Showing The Greening of Southie in over 60 union halls across the country during Earth Week was our way of getting the ball rolling. But the real work is being done by the union trades themselves in training workers for new green jobs, and by groups like Green for All in connecting workers with developers, contractors, and policy-makers. We want to help get the conversation going, so if The Greening of Southie can serve as an entertaining introduction to the basics of green building, then we feel we've done our job.
Given that there were more than 60 Earth Week in the Union Halls events in 17 states, you and Curt couldn't personally attend them all. Give us an idea of the reaction at one specific event.
Tell me a bit more about Truck Farm and other Wicked Delicate projects that are in the works.
It didn't take me long to realize that I didn't have any place to grow food here in the city. So I took a good long look at my old pickup truck and decided to go for it. There's a green roof system in there now that allows it to retain moisture without getting too heavy, and I've planted several rows of heirloom lettuce and arugula, tomatoes, basil and a bit of broccoli. We have a solar-powered camera system that takes a picture of the farm every five minutes throughout the summer, and we're shooting a short film about the entire process — called, needless to say, Truck Farm.
My main project is a film called The City Dark – it's a documentary about light pollution and the disappearance of night. The film asks a simple question — do we need darkness? — and sets out from the city that never sleeps to see our darkest (and brightest) places around the world. Along the journey, and from the film's home base in New York, we learn how light pollution not only affects our connect to the broader universe, but also affects our ecosystems and human health as well.

riggs_au necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 27 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
TEAMHAIR (or TEAMHAIR.com)
OK, heres the deal. We are a group of guys who need a webpage designed. We have pretty much no graphic identity as yet so you are free to use your imagination.
We are a bunch of guys who met up on various travels and have stayed in touch over the years and now looking to establish a stand-out web presence to enable us to: keep members abreast of events etc, maintain photo gallery (and perhaps other media like video/audio files), news etc.
What's the go with the name? well TEAMHAIR(.com) came about as a few of us are quite hairy guys, however understandably we don't particular want this aspect in our branding :-)
We are obviously not for profit, I've turned to 99designs to take the design burden off myself (as I'm graphically challenged) and yes, we have chosen the cheapest prize (and this is my first design brief on 99designs) but seeing as the site is non-commercial, we have no problem with giving the designer permanent credit for the design on the finished, live page. Well at least until the next face-lift (which will be a long time hopefully.)
We are normal 20-something guys, we like a beer, we like chasing women and we like a good time. However, (as you will find on our facebook page) we tend to give the group a bit of a gung-ho, "military" image as in "dont mess with us...." etc.... I'm sure you get the idea. If not, I'm able to elaborate some more.
Looking forward to being amazed with your designs :-)
Our target audience is by far ourselves, however the site is also intended to project our cause to people we know and refer to the site to find out about our experiences/antics/misdemeanours.
You are free to use your imagination on this one, as I have said, we really have little in the way of existing imagery. I personally would lean towards a darker (even black?) background, however this isn't a mandatory requirement.
Our main driver in deciding to actually pay for a design for this project is that we would like the site to look as professionally done as possible (although any improvement on my abyssmal design abilities will be considered).
We need the winning design to be supplied in a format suitable for adapting into a theme for our CMS (undecided as yet, but leaning towards Drupal - why isn't that an option along with Wordpress?). So, a flat .JPG will NOT suffice.
We would like the design to incorporate a sliding/fading banner/call out section to highlight important event adverts and special announcements etc
A recent news, upcoming events box also required.
"Follow us on Facebook" and other social media links req'd.
About Us, Meet the Team, etc links also a plus.
We would also like graphical links to things such as "Join the TEAMHAIR army" etc, plain text is boring.
Any more details required? Please let me know.
Yes, this is my first project on this site (can you tell?) however I picked this as the first as I can't make the first one blind (apparently you designers prefer that?) I have several website projects coming up after this one for a couple of companies I run that are also in dire need of re-branding.... so impress me now and you might see even more in the near future (with larger budgets too as they are commercial sites).

Q Gary, every three months we cross the Golden Gate Bridge on the way to a doctor's appointment. My question: After the toll collectors are gone in a couple of months, do I need to open a FasTrak account, and how accurate are the camera's reading of the plates?
Jeff Pelton
A I would get FasTrak, as you can save a buck per trip by opening an account.
When the toll collectors leave around the end of March, bridge officials will convert to all-electronic tolling with either FasTrak or what is called Pay-By-Plate. At the Golden Gate Bridge, FasTrak users will pay a discounted toll rate — $1 off the $6 toll for two-axle vehicles.
Plate accounts do not require a prepaid balance, as does FasTrak. Instead, it will offer drivers a pay-as-you-go option, with your credit card charged when you cross the bridge.
Mary-the-Bridge-Spokeswoman says the license plate image captures are "excellent or we would not be using this proven technology."
Go to www.goldengate.org/tolls for more information.
Q I was told by a toll booth guy that cars should not pull up too soon after a motorcycle is at the booth as the car transponder will be charged twice.
Kathryn Newburn
A Unlikely, but screwy things happen with motorcycles because the equipment sometimes does not locate them because of their size. Bay Area bridge officials say a customer's account cannot be charged twice for the same trip because the equipment looks for duplicate transactions at the same toll plaza within a certain time frame. If there are two transactions, one of them is discarded.
Q My brother used a disabled person's plaque that you hang from your rearview mirror. But he has passed away. Should I destroy the placard or mail it back to the DMV?
M. Rosa
A So sorry about your brother. The placard should be given back to the DMV within 60 days of the death of the disabled person. Mail the placard to: DMV, Registration Operations Division, P.O. Box 942869 MS C271, Sacramento, CA 94269-0001
Q For years westbound Foxworthy Avenue at Almaden Expressway in San Jose had a "No Through Traffic" sign. But about two or three years ago that sign was removed. Since this removal, the Walgreens pharmacy has opened at this intersection. Yet the roadway westbound shows only a left turn allowed on the pavement. Is this now a through roadway, or is it still a left-turn-only lane?
George Jewett
San Jose
A George, what took you so long to email me? Dan-the-County-Road-Man, who knows everything about the expressways, was stumped: "We're not sure why the sign isn't there now," he said, noting that the sign was installed to address concerns of nearby residents about potential traffic increases. "We have not made any changes to that agreed concept and will replace the sign."
Q Have the powers that be ever considered building a pedestrian bridge across Stevens Creek Boulevard that would connect Santana Row near Crate & Barrel with Valley Fair mall? That would be so awesome.
Stephanie Kareht
San Jose
A Improvements may be coming, but not what you want. They are tied into future development at the two shopping centers that seems imminent. Improvements on the south side of the intersection will include removal of the "pork chop island" and expansion of the sidewalk refuge in front of Crate & Barrel. The pedestrian push button will then be moved to the sidewalk, eliminating the need to cross the right-turn pocket to activate the pedestrian signal on the island.
The existing striped crosswalk will be increased to 12 feet and a second crossing will be added on the east leg of the intersection crossing Stevens Creek.
But there will not be a bridge.

High school senior Emmanuel Williams and 24 other students were riding a school bus in Tacoma, Washington earlier this week, when the bus began to swerve ominously. Williams jumped up, found the driver nodding off and woke him up, preventing a tragedy on a busy interstate highway.
The driver's now on administrative leave while the school district investigates the incident. The bus, with 25 students aboard, had just merged onto an interstate when the 65-year-old driver started losing consciousness. As the video shows, Williams, 17, ran over and made sure he remained alert long enough to bring the bus in for a landing, or whatever buses do.

I'm willing to bet you've made fun of the expression-less faces on heavily-Botoxed people.
With their vanished crow's feet, missing smile lines, lack of forehead wrinkles, and paralyzed cheeks, eventually we just can't tell whether Botox abusers are happy, sad, angry, worried, or just plain crazy. We can only assume the latter.
As it turns out, this side effect may actually be a good thing for individuals with depression who are resistant to other forms of treatment.
Back in March, I blogged about the neurochemistry of Botox (click here to read). Botox is the trade name for botulinum toxin, a powerful neurotoxin which, in very small medical doses, functions to paralyze the muscles of the face (or wherever it's injected). On the other hand, severe botulism poisoning, which occurs primarily through food contamination, can result in paralysis of respiratory muscles, leading to respiratory arrest, coma, or death if untreated.
Botox functions by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from being released by the axon terminal of a neuron. Typically, acetylcholine binds to receptors on muscle, causing contraction; inhibiting this results in paralysis.
In the 1890s, psychologist William James promoted his facial feedback hypothesis. James believed there was a link between physical facial expressions and emotional states. Indeed, a number of studies in the 1980s and '90s support this notion.
In the May issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research, researchers M. Axel Wollmer and colleagues at the University of Basel in Switzerland reported that paralyzing the glabellar frown region—the area between the eyebrows—with Botox significantly improved symptoms in depressed individuals.
The study included 30 participants, each of which had major depression and were unresponsive to traditional antidepressive medications. Fifteen individuals were assigned to receive a dose (five injections) of Botox, while the other fifteen received placebo (saline) injections.
Six weeks after this single dose, individuals were assessed for depressive symptoms using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Score. Researchers found that those who received Botox injections experienced a 47% decrease in depressive symptoms, compared to just 9% in the placebo group. This improvement remained over the 16-week study period.
This was the first randomized, controlled study on the effect of Botox on depression.
As James proposed 120 years ago, we now have more evidence that facial muscles are not only critical in communicating emotion to others, but also for an individual to experience emotion for themselves.
So the next time you pull a "Marcia Brady" and feel compelled to hold a crying vigil in front of the mirror, just try to crack a smile. Braces may not keep your spaghetti from tasting like lead, but the shiny grin may at least boost your mood.

Being a mother of two boys, Catt Sadler is the president of the Hollywood chapter of the 'Women Like Us Foundation' and loves to spread the word and be that influential voice to the younger generation that may not have that special role model. "[Women Like Us Foundation] means empowerment, love and happiness,' said Xochitl Medina is Designer of XOCHI LOS ANGELES and co-founder with Catt Sadler of Women Like Us Hollywood, 'it means giving back!" In hopes of enlisting new mentors the 'Women Like Us Foundation' would like to spread the word, and 'think of yourself, where you were and what you would've done to be where you are now,' says Xochi.

Remembering the Haymarket Martyrs
In the city of Chicago on the evening of May 4th 1886, a protest meeting was held in the Haymarket Square. The meeting was organized by the anarchist community to protest the murder and wounding of several workers by the Chicago police the day before. The murdered men had been protesting outside the Mc Cormick Reaper Factory, from which they had been locked out by the owners. As some scabs were leaving the factory a confrontation occurred involving fighting and rock throwing. The police attacked the locked out workers first with clubs and then with revolvers. August Spies a militant anarchist labor agitator witnessed the shootings, became infuriated and wrote up a circular calling for "Workingmen to Arms." A compositor unknown to Spies added the word, "Revenge!" so the circular read, "Revenge! Workingmen to Arms!!!" The evening of May 3rd at Greif's saloon on West Lake Street, at a gathering of German anarchists, it was decided to hold the protest in the Haymarket Square the following evening at 7:30 pm.
The meeting was not well attended, the sponsors had hoped for a crowd of 20,000 and only 4,000 at best had showed up. The meeting got started late and was attended by none other than Chicago's mayor Harrison. After listening to most of the speakers the mayor informed his police captain Bonefield he could dismiss most of his forces. Bonefield insisted on keeping his main force of men assembled at the police station only a block away for fear the meeting was only a diversion for some other violent activity. By ten o'clock a storm was blowing in and the crowd was down to only a few hundred listeners as Samuel Fielden was finishing up his speech. Having been informed by one of the many undercover officers in the crowd that Fielden had urged the crowd to "throttle the law," captain Bonefield marched his police force into the crowd and demanded they disperse. Fielden pleaded "but we are peaceful" and anyway he was just finishing up, he started to climb down from the wagon that was being used as a stage for the speakers. Just then someone (nobody knows to this day who) threw a bomb into the ranks of the police. What ensued was a police riot in which many civilians and several police were shot dead and wounded.
As a result of the bombing eight anarchists, Albert Parsons, August Spies, Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab, Oscar Neebe, George Engel, Adolph Fischer and Louis Lingg, were arrested, tried and convicted of murder. In his charge to the jury, Judge Gary declared of the defendants, "If they conspired to overthrow the law by force, and if, in the pursuance of such a conspiracy, a bomb was thrown by a member of the conspiracy, resulting in the death of Officer Degan, then the defendants were accessories to the murder whether or not the identity of the bombthrower had been established. Further and even more damaging, if the defendants, by print or by speech, advised, or encouraged the commission of murder, without designating time, place or occasion at which it should be done, and in pursuance of and induced by such advice and encouragement, murder was committed, then all of such conspirators are guilty of such murder, whether the person who perpetrated such murder can be identified or not." Of course not knowing the identity of the bombthrower, makes it impossible to know the motive of the said bombthrower and therefore whether he actually was a part of the alleged conspiracy.
The judge was as partial as any judge could be, ruling every contested point in favor of the prosecution and making hostile remarks about the defendants throughout the trial. He allowed the prosecutor to heap abuse on the defendants throughout the trial. During the opening and closing statements he allowed the prosecution wide latitude as well in the presentation of evidence. The defense was strictly limited to specific points in cross examination while the prosecution was allowed to wander to questions which were not relevant to the questions put to the witnesses. The audience was never reprimanded when it applauded the prosecutor's prejudicial remarks. During the trial the judge surrounded himself with women, who giggled and ate candy, while the judge joked with them, and drew pictures during testimony.
The major media of the day consisting mainly of newspapers, convicted the defendants before the trial even began, and helped create an atmosphere of hatred and hysteria against them. The media conveyed the feeling to the public that neither life nor property would be safe until these anarchists were hung. The New York Times offered the following solution to the anarchist threat, "In the early stages of an acute outbreak of anarchy a Gatling gun, or if the case be severe, two, is the sovereign remedy. Later on hemp, in judicious doses, has an admirable effect in preventing the spread of the disease." The St Louis globe said, "There are no good anarchists except dead anarchists." The Chicago Daily News, stated, "The anarchists are amenable to no other reason except that taught by the rifle and the club."
The verdict was a forgone conclusion resulting from the conspiratorial nature of the trial and the selection of the jury. Instead of selecting the jury by the traditional method of drawing names from a box, Judge Gray decided they would be handpicked by a special bailiff, nominated by the states attorney and appointed by the court. The appointed bailiff Henry L. Ryce was reported by a Chicago businessman, Ottis S. Favor who was examined for the jury, to have stated, "I am managing this case, and know what I am about. These fellows are going to be hanged as certain as death. I am calling such men as the prosecution wants." The final jury consisted of all middle class men who freely admitted to being prejudiced against the defendants and holding preconceived opinions that they were guilty. One of the jury members was a friend of one of the police officers killed in the police riot, following the bombing. On August 20th all the defendants were found guilty of murder in the manner and form as charged and with the exception of Oscar Neebe were sentenced to death. Oscar Neebe received a sentence of fifteen years in the penitentiary.
An appeal was filed with the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois and a great international movement was created to save the lives of the anarchists. Despite all efforts on September 14th 1887 in a unanimous opinion the court upheld the verdict of the lower court and denied the motion for a new trial. The court set the date for the executions for November 11th 1887. An appeal was filed with the Supreme Court of the United States, which ruled on November 2nd 1887, that it lacked jurisdiction in the case because no federal issue was involved. Critics pointed out that, during the arrests and trial, fundamental constitutional rights had been violated, including freedom of speech and assembly, protection from illegal search and seizure, and due process of the law.
On November 10th 1887, Luis Lingg finished smoking a cigar in his cell and then took a dynamite cartridge put it in his mouth and lit the fuse. Half his face was blown away and after six hours of pure agony he passed away. Lingg had said as an anarchist he did not believe the state had the right to take his life and he had sworn he would not allow it to happen. Michael Schwab and Samuel Fielden applied for clemency and received it from the then Governor of Illinois Richard J. Oglesby. They were both sentenced to long terms in the penitentiary. Despite a monumental international effort to save their lives and gain the remaining four anarchists their freedom, the governor refused to grant them clemency unless they appealed for it. But Parsons, Spies, Engel and Fischer were resolute, they had done nothing wrong and would not appeal for clemency for a crime they had not committed. The state without any real proof had convicted them and they would rather face death than beg for their lives. They all had families and children and loved life dearly but they would live up to their beliefs and principals as anarchists.
On November 11th 1887, Black Friday, these four symbols of the future and hopes of all working people of the world stood on a scaffold ready to be lynched by the state and to die for their ideals in the cause of anarchy. Their heads hooded their legs bound with leather straps and ropes around their necks they spoke for the last time. Spies called out "The time will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today." "Hurrah for anarchy!" cried Fischer. "Hurrah for anarchy!" shouted Engel even louder. "This is the happiest moment of my life!" exclaimed Fischer. Then Parsons spoke, "Will I be allowed to speak, O men of America? Let me speak, Sheriff Matson! Let the voice of the people be heard! O---." The trap doors opened and four of America's greatest labor martyrs passed into history.
On the morning of June 26th 1893, the governor of the state of Illinois, John Peter Atgeld, issued an unconditional pardon for the three Haymarket Martyrs, who were imprisoned in Joliet penitentiary. When asked by his Secretary of State, "Do you think it is good policy to pardon them?" Atgeld answered, "It is right!" Governor Atgeld issued a statement outlining the reasons he had for issuing the pardon. The historian Allan Nevins called it, "One of the best state papers ever written in America. Among the reasons Atgeld for freeing the three men were, conviction by a packed and prejudiced jury, they had not been proven guilty, no reliable evidence had been produced linking them to the bombthrower or to show he was acting on their advice. He further stated that witnesses had been thrown in jail by police and threatened with torture if they didn't agree to falsely testify against the defendants. Those that agreed to commit perjury were rewarded with money and employment. Much of the evidence given at the trial therefore was pure fabrication. He also found that the police had created fictitious conspiracies so they could get the glory of discovering them. As to the conduct of Judge Gary, Atgeld stated, Gary had conducted the trial with, "malicious ferocity," he had compelled all eight men to be tried together, he had permitted the states attorney to go into matters entirely foreign to the case, every contested point was in favor of the state, the record was full of insinuating remarks made by the judge in front of the jury, in order to bring them to his way of thinking. Most important Atgeld found that there was no precedent for Judge Gary's ruling, that it was not necessary for the state to prove who the actual perpetrator was or to prove he had acted under the influence of the defendants. Atgeld stated, "In all the centuries during which government has been maintained among men, and crime has been punished, no judge in a civilized country has ever laid down such a rule. He had pardoned the three men not out of mercy, but because they had been wrongfully convicted and innocent of the crime they had been imprisoned for. His statement exonerated not only the three men who had been imprisoned but the four men who had been murdered by the state, as well.
For those of us who oppose the death penalty, this is probably one of the most important events in American history. No mistake made here the state knew exactly what it was doing this was an act of judicial homicide, with malice aforethought. From the police captain Bonfield, to Judge Gary, to the men on the jury, to Henry Ryce who appointed them to the jury, to the justices of the Illinois Supreme Court and finally to the justices of the United States Supreme Court, all knew these men were innocent and all conspired to murder them, for believing in social justice, and working and advocating for it. They were murdered for reason of state no doubt, but if it can happen to them, what about us today?
Since the defeat of the Lyndon Johnson's Great Society's War on Poverty, and Richard Nixons declaration of a War On Drugs, to Bush's War On Terrorism and its USA PATRIOT act, all our rights under the Constitution are disappearing. Dissent is being criminalized, which means the practice of democracy is now a criminal act. Opposing the globalization of the world's economy, militarism, imperialism and world hegemony of the United States in the name of the new corporate state makes you a terrorist. People are being disappeared off the streets of America, and for their families it must be like a nightmare out of some Kafkaesque novel. The executive branch of the government stands in defiance of the Judicial branch, which seeks an answer as to where the disappeared might be.
Regardless of the consequences we must find within ourselves the same kind of spirit, dedication and resolve as those four Anarchists, who gave their lives in the name of social justice and freedom and anarchy. The anti-globalization movement for us must be an anti capitalist movement and an anti state movement, for as this case only too well demonstrates the state is the hand maiden of the rich and powerful.
Let us not forget that the Haymarket Affair was about the struggle of workers for a better life a life free of the bondage of a system of wage slavery. Today the conditions of labor throughout the world are horrendous. Many corporations are now abandoning countries like Mexico, where workers have become successful in forming independent unions, for countries like Marxist-Leninist capitalist China. No need to worry about unions there the Communist Party will take care of any attempt to better the lives of the working class. Today in most of the world being a labor organizer is one of the most dangerous occupations, hundreds are murdered and tortured every year by armies, governments, and death squads.
Many labor unions have become business unions that function not to end the system of wage slavery, but to sign contracts that deprive workers of their most powerful weapons such as the strike. These unions seek to provide the employers with a well trained, non political, obedient, and punctual work force. While the wages and benefits for the members of these unions may be much better than those not in the union in the same industry they do little to promote the betterment of any workers outside their general membership. They are not the enemies of the Anti Globalization movement but they are part of the system of exploitation and wage slavery that must be overcome if democracy is to survive and all people can realize the social benefits of a society based on freedom and equality.
In today's postmodern world the idea of class identity or class struggle is considered irrelevant, the worker is no longer viewed as a producer but rather a consumer. Class no longer defines reality, culture is the defining consciousness for the intellectuals and students they influence. With the collapse of the Berlin wall, and the victory of capitalism, history ends, all the contradictions between working class and the employing class are said to have ended. Tell that to a factory worker in China trying to survive on a dollar a day for a ten hour shift, under dangerous conditions without health care or a pension. Tell it a maquiladora worker in Mexico whose factory was closed down and moved to communist China because after years of struggle she and her fellow workers had succeeded in forming a union and bettering their lives. Tell it to the family of a labor organizer in Columbia who took a bullet in the head from some government supported death squad, because she wanted to give workers a chance for a better life.
The choice between democracy and freedom or the corporate state and dictatorship is what the Anti-Globalization/Anti-Capitalist movement is really all about. Part of the organization of that movement will necessarily have to include the organization of the working people world wide at the point of production as well as the point of consumption. The Industrial Workers of the World offers one form of that organization, along with anarcho-syndicalism, the goals are clear, the end of the system of wage slavery and the creation of a workers democracy. The Teamsters and the turtles came together in Seattle, today the leader of the Teamsters is close with Bush. The Teamsters as well as other Craft Unions have joined Bush in supporting the oil drilling and exploration in the Alaska Wildlife Preserve. The Wobblies do not support the destruction of Alaska's environment for the benefit of corporate greed and never will. Built on the principal of "an injury to one is an injury to all," the Industrial Workers of the World, is an organization that can well represent labor in the Anti Globalization-Anti Capitalist Movement.
As we all struggle forward to bring about our vision of a just world for all people lets keep in mind those who sacrificed and gave their lives, for our cause, people like the Haymarket Martyrs.

The main station for YOTA was held in a tower in the grounds of a nearby park. It was situation about 90ft in the air at the very top of the tower with the stairs consisting of a fire-escape type setup outside the tower with a see-through floor. The station itself was a Yaesu FT920 transceiver, an Expert 1K Linear Amplifier and a 3 element Yagi antenna.
Operating ES9YOTA was a great experience. The callsign was extremely highly sought after with the pile ups being present at any time of operation. Due to the amount of YOTA amateurs seeking to operate the station, a timetable was formed so everyone got an opportunity to use it. We used both SSB and CW, majorly on 20m but with some other bands thrown in. Youngsters who did not have any experience on the air got the chance to operate and gain some practical experience in real life QSO's. This is a major plus for them and gave them a sense of achievement and pride, which pushes them into pursuing their hobby a little further, and with the right encouragement and teaching could lead to their own licences.
For those that are already licensed, the chance to work a pile up (which some hams may not have the opportunity to do) was also an achievement. The operation of a new callsign was a bonus for those hams who may have never operated out of their own DXCC, and the opportunity to work different DXCC's (eg Japan) was a high for others as these countries may not be readily accessible from their home locations.
As ES9 is considered a special call in Estonia, it was great for all callers contacting the station to get in their log, as well as getting the YOTA station. Approx 3,000 QSO's were made over the course of the week and the participants had a great time at this shack.

For Immediate Release

New Report Reveals Relationship Between Rapid Growth of the Financial Sector and the Weak Real Economy
NEW YORK - Published today, a new report from national policy center Demos reveals a surprising and important relationship between the rapid growth of the financial sector and the weak economy: Wall Street's share of GDP has jumped dramatically since deregulation commenced in 1980 and, at the same time, it has become less and less efficient at its true utility – serving as a pipeline funneling capital from investors to productive businesses in the Real Economy.
According to the report, "Cracks in the Pipeline: Restoring Efficiency to Wall Street and Value to Main Street" by Demos Senior Fellow and former Goldman Sachs investment banker Wallace Turbeville, the total value the financial industry currently extracts – in excess of historic levels of capital intermediation costs – is $635 billion dollars annually. The financial sector should be compensated for intermediating between investors and users of capital, but the current levels are particularly startling. Advances in information technology and quantitative analysis must have made elements of the process more efficient and less costly. However, those advances have been deployed to divert more capital from the pipeline of intermediation to ensure unprecedented profits for the intermediators themselves.
Turbeville details how three additional factors have reversed Wall Street's historically productive role: 1) the consolidation of market power, 2) the era of deregulation, and 3) shifts in industry compensation to short-term performance benchmarks. As a result, the higher cost of capital prevents producers from growing, and job growth and consumption is stunted, income inequality grows, and monetary policy is less effective.
"The principal social value of financial markets is to facilitate the efficient deployment of funds held by investors to productive uses – like factories, infrastructure, and jobs," said Turbeville. "However, the model has changed in recent decades, and Wall Street is siphoning money from the capital pipeline that should grow the real economy. Simply stated, a system in which almost one-third of all earnings go to the relatively unproductive financial sector weakens the broader economy.
Never Miss a Beat.

"As we continue to debate the costs and benefits of financial regulation, the opponents of reform repeatedly raise the specter of declining market liquidity that damages the economy," continued Turbeville. "Liquidity is one thing; sheer volume is another. A great deal of trading activity reduces individual transaction costs, but extracts value from the economy that far outweighs this benefit. To say that regulation is burdensome simply because it might reduce volume focuses attention on costs of individual trades, and away from the truly valuable function of capital intermediation."
Heather McGhee, Demos' Vice President of Policy and Outreach, added, "Until the financial sector again serves its purpose as a utility enabling broad economic growth, its unchecked rise and speculative innovations are actually damaging our economy, not contributing to it. Reforms such as the Volcker Rule improve the capital intermediation model in ways that may challenge industry players. A cost to Wall Street may well be a benefit to the economy."
"Cracks in the Pipeline: Restoring Efficiency to Wall Street and Value to Main Street" is the first in a series of "Financial Pipeline" papers by Wallace Turbeville. Subsequent papers will examine the impact of high frequency trading, derivatives, and the financialization of the U.S. economy. The "Financial Pipeline" series is part of Demos' ongoing work to promote a vision of Wall Street as a conduit for productive investment and expanded opportunity in the broader economy.

The question has been tabled: Can comedians make rape jokes?
Daniel Tosh, the star of the egregiously politically incorrect Comedy Central show Tosh.O, made such a joke at the expense of a female heckler during a standup set at the Laugh Factory in L.A., prompting torrents of criticism and debate after an anonymous audience member wrote about the incident on her Tumblr in a post entitled "A Girl Walks Into A Comedy Club." Her post begins, "This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words," and goes on to describe the incident:
"Tosh then starts making some very generalizing, declarative statements about rape jokes always being funny… I yelled out, "Actually, rape jokes are never funny!" … After I called out to him, Tosh paused for a moment. Then, he says, "Wouldn't it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her…" and I, completely stunned and finding it hard to process what was happening but knowing i needed to get out of there, immediately nudged my friend, who was also completely stunned, and we high-tailed it out of there."
Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who claimed to have been present at the show, told Buzzfeed that the Tumblr post was not accurate. He claims that Daniel did not bring up the topic of rape, an audience member did. Additionally he made a more mild joke than the woman describes in the post—mild enough that the woman stayed for the whole set, rather than leaving like she claims in the post.
Tosh has oscillated between apologizing for and defending the joke on his twitter account since the post was picked up by the press.
He first tweeted:
all the out of context misquotes aside, i'd like to sincerely apologize j.mp/PJ8bNs—
daniel tosh (@danieltosh) July 10, 2012
But then wrote:
the point i was making before i was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them. #deadbabies—
daniel tosh (@danieltosh) July 10, 2012
Since then, comedians, activists and assorted twitterati have come forward to either attack or defend the comedian.
Here's the roundup:
Hey @DanielTosh, I usually think you're funny. But joking about gang rape isn't funny man. Ever. Rape is not a joke. But now you are.—
Sophia Bush (@SophiaBush) July 11, 2012
@danieltosh I can't wait to hear your "lynching is funny!" bit. Or would that be a little TOO dangerous?—
Martha Plimpton (@MarthaPlimpton) July 10, 2012
Fact: 1 in 5 of college girls present in @danieltosh 's audience will be a victim of sexual assault. Perhaps he wasn't aware? #AIsFor—
(@shannonwoodward) July 12, 2012
@danieltosh your show makes me laugh every time I watch it. And you have pretty eyes.—
Louis C.K. (@louisck) July 11, 2012
If you journey through this life easily offended by other peoples words I think it's best for everyone if you just kill yourself.—
Dane Cook (@danecook) July 11, 2012
Daniel Tosh can't make a rape joke but Eminem can have hit songs about it?
PS. AIDS jokes are funnier @DanielTosh—
Stevie Ryan (@StevieRyan) July 11, 2012
If Tosh can't say "rape", Tracy can't say "retard" and Jo Koy can't say "fag" Then black comics can't say the N word ( I CANT EVEN TYPE IT!)—
Jay Mohr (@jaymohr37) July 12, 2012
Comics are pigs for making rape jokes, but Christian Bale is a great actor for American Psycho. Everyone can go fuck themselves.—
Jim Norton (@JimNorton) July 12, 2012
Silver lining to the @danieltosh mess: The Laugh Factory's been forced to change its name to The Your Feelings Factory.—
Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) July 11, 2012
Don't know what Daniel Tosh did but I hear he once said a rude thing about my tits so I'M AGAINST HIM (aka may have dated him in college)—
Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) July 12, 2012
What's your take? Let us know in the comments or just air it out on twitter like everyone else.
UPDATE: Monday night, Louis C.K. appeared on The Daily Show to explain that he did not actually mean to defend Daniel Tosh. He was on vacation in Vermont when the incident blew up and did not know about Tosh's rape joke when he posted that tweet:
"I was on vacation…I was in Vermont, and I was watching TV in the hotel room. And Daniel Tosh's show comes on, Tosh.0. And it's making me laugh. It's a funny show. So I wasn't reading the Internet at the time because that's how I go on vacation: I really hate the Internet, so I just stop reading it. But I'm watching TV and Tosh is making me laugh, so I wrote a tweet to say 'Your show makes me laugh.' And then I put it down, and then two days later I come home and read these bloggers and The Hollywood Reporter saying, 'Louis C.K. Defends Daniel Tosh Amid Rape Joke Controversy.' I had no idea. He got in trouble for making these jokes about rape, and I didn't know about it, so I'm a defender of rape. That's what everybody says now…I'm being called a rape apologist because I said 'Hi' to a guy."
Don't worry, Louis C.K.! After last night's Daily Show appearance, we forgive you and love you more than ever. For the comic's actual views on the matter, see the entire clip here.

There's room in big-time college sports for a Crimson that isn't riding a Tide. Fourteenth-seeded Harvard's first-ever March Madness victory Thursday, 68-62 over third-seeded New Mexico, is even more astounding when you consider this:
–The team's two co-captains withdrew from school at the start of the year because of the school's huge cheating scandal, which forced dozens of students to withdraw for two to four semesters. By withdrawing early rather than wait for the disciplinary committee to act, Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry likely preserved a year of eligibility next season.
–Harvard, like other Ivy League schools, gives no athletic scholarships. That may not be as big a drawback as it used to be, though, because Harvard has such a big endowment it can afford to pick up the entire tab for all students whose families earn less than $65,000.
Making up for these drawbacks is a fruit of the Bobby Knight/Mike Krzyzewski coaching tree. Fifth-year coach Tommy Amaker is a former guard and assistant coach under Coach K at Duke and head coach at Michigan.
With his success in Cambridge, Amaker joins the short list of favorites to succeed Coach K when and if he retires. Given their relative results, he's probably a lot higher on the list than his former Blue Devil backcourt mate, Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins. But in the meantime, let the good times roll in Cambridge.

Why did Superman wear his frilly red underthings on the outside of his body stocking? The fine folks at Today I Found Out offer this simple, sensible explanation.
Technically the answer is they do not wear their underwear on the outside. If it's on top, then whatever is underneath it becomes underwear, so really their super-clothes are in the right place, if not particularly fashionable.
I always figured Superman did it to keep people from focusing on how much he looks like Clark Kent. "You know who you look like... whoa, what's with the red panties?"
But no, as the TIFO folks explain, it's because circus performers had no idea how to wear shorts, and it infected comics.
This helpful factoid and much more can be found in TIFO's The Wise Book of Whys, which sounds like super bathroom reading.

Manus Island's provincial governor says he has been kept in the dark about conditions in Australia's asylum seeker processing centre based on the island.
Charlie Benjamin has told Radio Australia's Pacific Beat he accepts the power supply needs to be upgraded but says he has been kept out of the information loop on the centre's operation.
"We are kept in the dark, and we don't know what is really happening, or what will really happen," he said.
The comments follow the release of an Australian immigration department document highly critical of conditions in the centre.
In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry, the department says living arrangements for the more than 250 asylum seekers in the Papua New Guinea centre present health and safety risks.
It says the temporary facility is cramped, hot and humid, has limited access to drinking water and the power system can be unsafe in wet conditions.
It says the conditions increase the likelihood of problematic behaviour, including self-harm.
Mr Benjamin says the Australian government must act quickly to improve the situation for those being held in the centre.
"The place is quite hot and rainy and it's not really good for these people to continue to be sleeping in tents," he said.
He says Manus Island residents have been looking forward to an influx of jobs and improvements to local infrastructure but these opportunities have not arrived.
"I don't think the people of Manus are quite happy with what is happening now, there's really nothing for the people in terms of employment or anything like that," he said.
"It's 2000, 2001 happening again, you know the Australians never commit themselves."
Work on a permanent processing centre valued at around $171 million is scheduled to begin in July.
'Not humane'
Australian Labor Party Senator Doug Cameron says the Australian Government needs to take action, because it is not humane to keep people in such conditions.
"If we have people in conditions where their health is in danger, that they are physically in danger because of the humidity and an electric shock, then we need to do something about it," he said.
Senator Cameron says all the asylum seekers on Manus Island should be immediately taken to detention centres in Australia.
"I don't think it's humane to keep people in a situation where their health is in danger or where their safety is in question," he said.

Lightning sign free agent forward Jerome Samsonby Staff Writer / Tampa Bay Lightning
TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Jerome Samson to a one-year, two-way contract today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced.
Samson, 26, skated in 68 games with the St. John's IceCaps of the American Hockey League last season, recording 27 goals and 56 points to go along with 49 penalty minutes. He ranked first on the IceCaps and 12th in the AHL for power-play tallies with 11. The Greenfield Park, Quebec native ranked second on St. John's for goals and was third for points. He also appeared in 17 AHL postseason games last season, posting three goals and six points, helping the IceCaps reach the Calder Cup Finals.
The 6-foot, 195-pound forward has skated in 46 career NHL games, all with the Carolina Hurricanes over parts of three seasons, notching two goals and nine points. Samson recorded an assist in his NHL debut on January 7, 2010 against the Nashville Predators. He registered his first career NHL goals during the 2011-12 season while playing for the Hurricanes.
The undrafted forward has skated in 424 career AHL games with the IceCaps, Charlotte Checkers and Albany River Rats, posting 160 goals and 336 points to go along with 306 penalty minutes. Samson was named to the AHL First All-Star Team following the 2009-10 season after he posted 37 goals and 78 points while playing for Albany.

It's still early in Vegas, and the SEMA show hasn't launched in earnest, but it won't be long before this Droptop Customs Dodge Challenger will have to compete for attention with other displays of topless customization.
Once upon a government bailout Chrysler was mad for convertibles, as any company that attempted to sell a roofless version of the current Sebring must be. But there hasn't been a new convertible added to the Pentastar lineup for some time, and the Challenger appears shy stacked up against the Mustang and new top-down Camaro. If Chrysler doesn't give in, fans of windblown motoring and chassis flex can order something similar from Droptop Customs.
