I have decided to re-take in june. Take a couple of months off and start fresh, this time with 1 year of studying under my belt. I think i'll come out of it fine, stronger and a better candidate.Who's doing the same?
I was scoring high 150's-low 160's. Ended up bombing the reading comp, kicked ass in the LR, and getting stuck on games (my best section). I know it had to do with my emotional state at the time (some fam. issues), I should have cancelled, 152. I am confident I can score over a 160 next time around, If i get a 162+ the 10 point increase will look favorable for me. We'll see what happens. Anyone else giving themselves more time?

THOR GLOVES..., give it a try...
From method to the skwal gear, here's the place!

Re: THOR GLOVES..., give it a try...
Some interesting advice from the Thor Gloves company regarding temperature enhancements on former models such as SR-4 + new waterproof models. For more info, please feel free to contact John at the email address listed on the following web page http://www.texashuntingnews.com/THOR.htm Finally, please be aware that they will have a spring order program on the SR-6 Model and are in transition to a new factory, so needs to make orders
to meet the minimum order at the new factory. So please feel free to share his message and place orders (if your need to change your pair of gloves) so they can keep making these great gloves for all of us:
When I designed this SR-4, I lived in California and the temperatures do not get as cold as The Alps
or even in Colorado Rockies. SO, I did not use a waterproof membrane in these gloves.
The new gloves has this membrane.
SO, I highly recommend a very thin polypropylene liner glove to wear if 20 F ( - 7 C ) or below.
I also would advise perhaps spraying the backside fingers with clear enamel spray paint as a wind shield.
If you have Clear Spray Polyurethane in your hardware stores, this is a great thing to spray on the palms
and fingers and especially places of high abrasion. Polyurethane also comes in a small can (liquid).

A few years ago, Rory Albanese punched a 9/11 truther in the face.
That's a pretty good description of Albanese's sense of humor. He spent nine years working at The Daily Show (five as a producer) and is now setting out on a tour that stops in Philly from Wednesday until Saturday. I talked to Rory on the phone before his first Philly show...
Witout: Rory, I gotta know why you would leave such a cushy job on The Daily Show.
Albanese: Well, the job was pretty cushy and would have been for a long time, but I'm getting older and it's like there's this thing I gotta try cause the window's closing. I didn't have a map in some old journal telling me how The Daily Show was gonna play out. I'm doing this thing I wish I would have done at 22, only now it's like a Kevin Costner movie – "Does his arm still throw? I don't even know if he can get it up to 90 anymore boys. We'll have to see."
Witout: What was it like working with Jon Stewart?
Albanese: Any joke I made for The Daily Show goes through the awesome-maker, Jon Stewart. He's saved so many of my jokes that would have flopped. You give him even a whiff of an idea and he'll kill with it.
Witout: Your thoughts on Obamacare?
Albanese: Sure I care about healthcare, but not when The Big Bang Theory's on. (joking) I'm right down the middle, politically, but I really feel that everyone should have access to good healthcare.
Witout: What was it like doing standup overseas, for the troops?
Albanese: Having been to Afghanistan is a real nice slice of humble pie. It makes you not want to ever wanna hear Kim Kardashian complain about anything ever again. Our veterans coming home are as badass as the "Greatest Generation" ever was and there's no ticker tape parades for them, it's bullshit.
Witout: So, I read on your Wikipedia page that you punched a 9/11 Truther in the face at a Jon Stewart event?
Albanese: I should have gone out the backdoor, is the lesson I learned from it. They started saying all this really terrible stuff to us, kinda like the Paparazzi do, and they started pushing us.
I've never punched anyone before or since, but I was here for 9/11.
Albanese's Wednesday night set was smart, topical humor you'd expect from a Daily Show producer mixed with everything from a proctology visit, to why 'The Right' should actually want Obamacare, to a family vacation in which Rory and his 8 year old nephew shared similar roles. All with high energy.
Pretty much anything can happen during Albanese's next three nights after this Philly interchange: Midway through the show an audience member called the two women behind him (who were talking through the whole show) the "C" word. The whole crowd froze. Someone yelled EAGLES. Albanese goes, "They're not "C" words, they're just bitches. Well played!
Rory Albanese will be performing at Helium tonight through Saturday Nov 2. For tickets, visit HeliumComedy.com.

It just doesn't get much better than this. Amongst only a handful of women of color, Rihanna graces the 10th Annual Shape issue, shot by one of my favorite photographers, Annie Leibovitz (Beyonce Knowles graced the shape issue as well…what are they trying to say?). Either way this is huge for the R&B/Pop star.

The "Fringe" faithful certainly remember Peter Bishop. But after his apparent disappearance from the past, present and future, will anyone else?
That's been the burning question on the minds of fans of Fox's boundary-pushing sci-fi show event since Peter (Joshua Jackson) sacrificed his very existence to save the universe and the parallel reality he originally hailed from as they began to destroy each other. By the end of the Season Three finale, reality was rewritten and no one recalled that Peter had ever existed – not Olivia, not Walter, and not their alternate counterparts.
But "Fringe" fans needn't fear – the plot twist was decidedly not a sneaky way to do away with an actor's who contract was up or who'd gone prima donna – Jackson's such a "Fringe" fan himself he'll be penning an upcoming DC comic book tie-in – and the producers promise that there's more of Peter Bishop's story to tell, somehow, when the season resumes Sept. 23.
U.S. & World
"Peter is part of the DNA of the show," insists producer J.H. Wyman, "and we've done some pretty crazy things in the past that people were always like, "Well, wait a minute – why are they doing that? What's going on?" Hopefully in Season Four people will trust us enough to realize that we are doing things for a reason. To have 'Fringe' without Peter in some way, shape or form is really not 'Fringe.'"
"Just because he doesn't exist doesn't mean that the three years that we've all invested in and watched does not exist, it didn't happen," adds Wyman. "It really did happen and it'll unfold itself for you to understand in what context I'm speaking of."
The series' stars are intrigued by the possibilities of how the storyline will proceed with Peter's presence, considering the substantial impact he's had on their characters.
"I'm really interested to see where Olivia goes having never met Peter, having a look at what kind of influence he's had on her life and which direction she would have gone had he never existed," says Anna Torv, who plays both Fringe Division Agent Olivia Dunham and her alternate universe persona "Fauxlivia" who had given birth to Peter's son Henry. "My tendency would be to push it to somewhere that we haven't kind of taken her. And then the whole Fauxlivia [situation]: really, is she going to become this maternal thing? If Henry still does exist? I don't see her really as a mom."
"It's interesting to think that Peter vanishing, at least temporarily, into another dimension, and what that will do to Walter," muses star John Noble, who plays Walter Bishop, Peter's brilliant, eccentric and past-haunted scientist father. "Because Peter is what made Walter sane, ultimately. Or saner, when he came out of the hospital. Now if there wasn't Peter, would he become insane or would he go somewhere else?"
All those possibilities are ripe to be explored, according to Wyman and his follow producer Jeff Pinkner, as the series (created by "Lost" producer J.J. Abrams and "Star Trek" screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman) continues its ambitious, reality-bending storytelling.
Among the other elements the show's die-hard fan base can expect:
--The return of characters from previous seasons: "There will be returning faces," says Pinker. "We hate to spoil things, but there will be characters that you'll be delighted to see again hopefully and some that you'll be surprised to see again." And possibly in unexpected contexts, the producers add.
--More answers regarding those long-lived, bald-domed Observers who seem to turn up at critical moments. "The Observers are a large questions," says Wyman, "and we feel it's our duty to give some answers and back up everything that you've seen in the past with some concrete facts that you can start to form your opinion."
--Agent Lincoln Lee (Seth Gabel) will fill the void left in Fringe Division by the vanished Peter, and provide a crucial story function. "He brings us a certain thematic element that we really need in order to tell the big picture this year," says Pinkner. "One of the major themes that we're really interested in getting into this year is sort of like the impact that we have on each others' lives – what does it mean if life is valued by the connections that we make and we are defined by who we know and who defines us and how we define other people? So having Lincoln come in and have to go into a very strange world and figure out things about existence and that everything that he thought was true is no longer valid, nd how he's going to start to put back together the psyche that has been fractured by this knowledge that he really shouldn't have, it'll really help us in how he connects with people."

IMO Alex Wagner is not black
Here's another observation I made about Alex that adds to my hypothesis that she is NOT black. Her ear lobes are attached. That is far more common in whites observed than in other races. Also I think I see a wedding band on her left hand. That would indicate, although, not online, that she is married and is using her married name.
If I had photos or names of her parents I could end the speculation. She looks Eurasian which equals NOT Black.
I borrowed and cropped this photo. She was at an event with a guy who looks Hispanic. From the bio I read she is half German and half black. Wagner is a german name so perhaps her dad is German. I don't think she is married so that would be her maiden name. She was born and raised here. But if she is actually biracial and does not look black then she is by default white.
Given the naturally high percentage of European blood most blacks have including myself, even my blood type it is safe to say that Alex is more white than she is black at least 85%. She might marry black or think she is culturally black. But wait let's look see at her pedigree. Where did she come from?
She is a native of DC and has hobnobbed with the rich and famous. I used to wear my hair exactly like she wears it on the show (not in the pic) for a long time. She went to Brown University which was my first choice except I was so tired of cold weather and sunless days that I opted for California universities.
She went to Brown therefore IMO she ain't black. Follow her on Twitter.

Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas (Hardcover)
Special edition including the complete text of the Gospel of Thomas
Elaine Pagels, one of the world's most important writers and thinkers on religion and history, and winner of the National Book Award for her groundbreaking work The Gnostic Gospels, now reflects on what matters most about spiritual and religious exploration in the twenty-first century. This bold new book explores how Christianity began by tracing its earliest texts, including the secret Gospel of Thomas, rediscovered in Egypt in 1945.
When her infant son was diagnosed with fatal pulmonary hypertension, Elaine Pagels's spiritual and intellectual quest took on a new urgency, leading her to explore historical and archeological sources and to investigate what Jesus and his teachings meant to his followers before the invention of doctrine–and before the invention of Christianity as we know it.
The astonishing discovery of the Gospel of Thomas, along with more than fifty other early Christian texts unknown since antiquity, offers startling clues. Pagels compares such sources as Thomas's gospel (which claims to give Jesus' secret teaching, and finds its closest affinities with kabbalah) with the canonic texts to show how Christian leaders chose to include some gospels and exclude others from the collection we have come to know as the New Testament. To stabilize the emerging Christian church in times of devastating persecution, the church fathers constructed the canon, creed, and hierarchy–and, in the process, suppressed many of its spiritual resources.
Drawing on new scholarship–her own, and that of an international group of scholars–that has come to light since the publication in 1979 of The Gnostic Gospels, Pagels shows that what matters about Christianity involves much more than any one set of beliefs. Traditions embodied in Judaism and Christianity can powerfully affect us in heart, mind, and spirit, inspire visions of a new society based on practicing justice and love, even heal and transform us.
Provocative, beautifully written, and moving, Beyond Belief, the most personal of Pagels's books to date, shows how "the impulse to seek God overflows the narrow banks of a single tradition." Pagels writes, "What I have come to love in the wealth and diversity of our religious traditions–and the communities that sustain them–is that they offer the testimony of innumerable people to spiritual discovery, encouraging us, in Jesus' words, to 'seek, and you shall find.'"
Praise For…
Praise for Beyond Belief
"This packed, lucid little book belongs to that admirable kind of scholarship in which . . . the exhausting study of ancient fragments of text against the background of an intimate knowledge of religious history can be represented as a spiritual as well as an intellectual exercise."
–The New York Times Book Review
"With the winning combination of sound scholarship, deep insight and crystal-clear prose style that distinguishes all her work, Pagels portrays the great variety of beliefs, teachings and practices that were found among the earliest Christians."
–Los Angeles Times
"[An] explosive and, some say, heretical look at the evolution of Christianity."
–The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Elaine Pagels has a gift for bringing ancient Christian texts alive, and for displaying their profound, sometimes startling import for contemporary experience."
–The Christian Science Monitor
"This luminous and accessible history of early Christian thought offers profound and crucial insights on the nature of God, revelation, and what we mean by religious truth. . . . A source of inspiration and hope."
–Karen Armstrong, author of A History of God
"A book many readers will treasure for its healing, its good sense, and its permission to think, imagine, and yet believe."
–Karen King, author of What Is Gnosticism?
"It is as generous as it is rare that a first-rate scholar invites the reader to see and sense how her scholarship and her religious quest became intertwined. Elaine Pagels calls for a generosity of mind as she takes us into the world of those early Christian texts that were left behind but now are with us. Her very tone breathes intellectual and spiritual generosity too rare in academe." —Krister Stendahl
"A thoughtful and rewarding essay, as we've come to expect from Pagels." —Kirkus Reviews

Should you visit Roald Dahl Plass on Google Maps, you will notice a jovial waving woman. She resembles a nanny who adheres to the philosophy that a small heap of sweetener allows medication to travel effortlessly down the gullet in a manner that most satisfactory. This appearance has not been lost to Tumblr user FireFlyAstoria, who has hypothesized a most supergallifreysticexpialidocious theory:
Do you know who that is? Yep, that's Mary Poppins.
Do you know where that is? Yep, that's Cardiff. Specifically, that's outside the Roald Dahl Plass.
Do you know what the Roald Dahl Plass is? Yep, the roof of Torchwood.
Do you know why Torchwood is there? Yep, that's because of the rift in Cardiff, specifically that rift for a specific reason.
Do you know where the Doctor re-fuels the TARDIS?
So tumblr was right.
Mary Poppins IS the Doctor.
Also Dick van Dyke is a Cyberman. I refuse to abase my beliefs with an explanation.

Lucuma Powder - raw, premium 16 oz. Lucuma, also called Pouteria Obovata (Lucuma Obovata) pronounced Loo- Ku- Mah. Lucuma is an exotic Peruvian fruit once known as the "Gold of the Inca's" that has been honored spiritually and culinarily since ancient times.
One tree can produce as many as five hundred fruits during a year and lucuma literally becomes the tree of life when field crops are out of season or damaged by drought.
The lucuma is a member of the Sapotaceae family and is similar to the canistel fruit. Its unique and fragrant flavor resembles maple syrup.
Lucuma is one of the lost crops of the Incas and its remarkable value and exotic flavor make it worth recognizing and appreciating. The Peruvian's savor the taste of it in ice cream, as it is one of their most popular flavors. Natural Zing's lucuma is available in powder, raw and sun-dried, so it is easy to enjoy.
Discover the flavorful sensation of lucuma. Enjoy it by itself or mix

The world as we know it
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. RONALD REAGAN,
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular. Adlai E. Stevenson Jr
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other. Carl Schurz
The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is besides the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech. Justice Anthony Kennedy
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward. Patricia Sampson
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim. Thomas Macaulay
The law will never make men free, it is men that have to make the law free. Henry David Thoreau
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. George Washington

Chevrolet Captiva driven
* Price from £21,995 * On sale May * MPG 42.8 to 44.1mpg CO2 170- to 174g/km...
What is it?
Fresh-faced Chevy 4x4 also gets GM's latest diesel engines.
It's going to be a busy year for Chevrolet. The company has only just released the new Orlando MPV, and this will be followed by no fewer than six new models by the end of 2011. This is the first of them the heavily revised Captiva, which will hit UK showrooms in May.
Just like the Vauxhall Antara, with which the Captiva shares its mechanicals, the Captiva has been given a sharper look, tweaked suspension, and two new 2.2-litre diesel engines, one with 161bhp and one with 181bhp.
As well as being stronger and cleaner than the Captiva's outgoing 2.0-litre diesel, the new engines are much quieter and smoother. In fact, refinement has improved all-round, and when combined with the smooth ride and soggy-but-secure handling, the Captiva has a very relaxed feel on the road.
The cabin has bags of space and a big boot, too, and higher-grade versions have seven-seats that work in the same way as the Orlando's. That makes it practical and reasonably versatile.
However, despite its upgraded materials, the interior still has a decidedly low-rent feel. Especially when you consider the Captiva's price. The cheapest version with five seats and four-wheel drive costs £21,995 (£2000 more than the equivalent Antara), while the cheapest four-wheel drive seven-seater costs £27,695. With a Hyundai Santa Fe costing less than £23,000, that's hard to justify.

Good-looking and likeable, but too pricey to recommend

DONETSK, Ukraine — This eastern Ukrainian city took another step toward mob rule Thursday as pro-Russian separatists stormed the state prosecutor's office and forced dozens of riot police deployed to guard the building into a humiliating surrender.
The attackers, who threw stones and wielded sticks, were backed by a crowd of at least 1,000 men and women of all ages. They chanted "fascists" and "traitors" at the riot police and waved Russian flags as well as those of the self-styled Donetsk People's Republic.
Ukraine's acting president admitted this week that the police force in the east was "helpless" to protect citizens and that some of its members were colluding with pro-Russian groups.
On Thursday, citing Russian interference in his country's affairs and "threats of encroachment" from tens of thousands of Russian troops massed just across the border, Oleksandr Turchynov signed a decree reintroducing compulsory military service for men ages 18 to 25.
In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin made what appears to be a politically impossible demand: that the Ukrainian government completely withdraw its troops from the southeastern part of the country. He made the comments in a telephone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who had called him about the deteriorating security situation in eastern Ukraine.
Putin told her that "it was imperative today to withdraw all military units from the southeastern regions" of Ukraine, and he called for a "broad national dialogue" about reforms to Ukraine's constitution, the Kremlin said.
But on the ground in Ukraine, any hope of dialogue appeared to be slipping ever further away, as protesters opposed to the government in Kiev stormed the general prosecutor's office in the eastern regional capital of Donetsk.
Arriving at the office, the mob ripped up stone walls at a nearby park to make rocks to use as projectiles. The protesters, some wearing black balaclavas, smashed windows and quickly forced the riot police on the steps of the building to retreat inside, seizing some of their shields as they did so.
Gunshots and small detonations rang out, and clouds of tear gas enveloped the building as the struggle continued inside. At one point, a Ukrainian armored personnel carrier approached the building in an attempt to relieve the siege but retreated when the mob turned in its direction.
Later, a group of policemen cowered outside the building, crouched on the ground with their shields held over their heads, before finally surrendering. Stripped of their riot gear, they were led away through the crowd, their heads bowed as some separatists struck and spat at them.
A woman carrying a small Russian flag on a pole shouted "parasites" as one policeman was put into an ambulance, while others in the crowd bayed for blood.
"They beat our guys! We should beat them, too. We should put them on their knees," a man and a woman yelled. But a pro-Russian activist in a riot helmet defended the police. "They are just officers on duty, doing their job," he shouted back.
A song called "The Russians Are Coming," as well as another popular song written at the time of the Soviet war against Nazi Germany, blasted from the speakers of a car. The vehicle flew a flag carrying an image of World War II-era Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
Men with close-cropped hair and tattoos stood triumphantly on the steps of the captured building, banging confiscated batons on riot shields in unison as the crowd chanted "bravo." Some carried pistols. A Ukrainian flag and coat of arms burned in a small bonfire close by, along with a pair of women's high-heeled shoes.
Inside the building, looters grabbed items ranging from legal files to hard drives.
Regional authorities said 26 people were hurt, including four with gunshot wounds or injuries from rubber bullets. One policeman was hospitalized.
The prosecutor was appointed by the national government in Kiev two months ago. He was investigating corruption charges against pro-Moscow former president Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted in February after street protests in the capital and fled to Russia.
The Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine was the heartland of Yanukovych's support, and Thursday's violence appeared partly orchestrated to prevent any investigation into the sources of his wealth here, as well as to attack a symbol of Ukrainian rule.
The demonstration, on International Workers' Day, also known as May Day, began under a huge statue of another former Soviet ruler, Vladimir Lenin, with some flying the flag of the Soviet Union.
"For 23 years, I wanted to be in the Soviet Union," said a 35-year-old miner who gave his name only as Sergey. Asked why, he said: "I don't want to live with gays." Later, Sergey, who came to the demonstration with his wife and son, stood among the crowd with a rock in his hand.
The demonstrators then moved to the city police headquarters, where they forced the police to hang the flag of the Donetsk People's Republic outside the building.
Demoralized, corrupt and poorly paid, the police in eastern Ukraine have been caught in the middle and have attracted the scorn of both sides.
On Monday, riot police in Donetsk stood by and watched as a pro-Russian mob attacked a peaceful rally in which about 1,000 marchers called for Ukraine to remain united. The city council denied permission for another pro-Ukrainian rally on Tuesday, ostensibly because it represented a "threat to the people" of Donetsk, according to a letter seen by The Washington Post.
On Tuesday, the main police station in the eastern city of Luhansk was also stormed by a separatist mob.
Michael Birnbaum in Moscow and Anna Nemtsova and Alex Ryabchyn in Donetsk contributed to this report.

In poll after poll, Californians have trashed their state legislature's job performance. Last week, a new Field poll found that just one of 5 Californians approves of the job the state legislature is doing, while nearly 7 of 10 disapprove.
Across the political board, majorities of Democrats, Republicans and non-partisan voters are negative in their appraisal (with Republicans the most negative (87 percent disapprove and only 7 percent disapprove).
But the same poll (PDF of highlights here) showed that, when asked whether they supported or opposed "the idea of changing the California legislature from one that works full-time to one that only operates part-time," more voters opposed the idea than approved of it.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Democrats, whose party controls both houses of the Legislature and who could lose considerable clout in Sacramento, oppose the part-time status by nearly 2 to 1, but pluralities of Republicans and non-partisans favor the part-time legislature.
Over an 8-year period, from August 2004 to February 2012, the trend in voter approval for the proposal increased six points, while opposition to reclaiming part-time status shrunk seven points.
If a part-time plan makes it to the California ballot, there might be an outside chance of passage.
Assemblywoman Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) is pushing an initiative to return California's legislature to the part-time status it held before a massive constitutional revision was approved by voters in 1966.
Her proposal would trim the legislative session from 9 months a year to 3 months and reduce legislators' pay from $95,000 to $18,000 annually.
Her initiative, Grove argues, would give Californians "the chance to vote to take back their government from the hands of career politicians and their special interests…much the way it was until the mid-1960s."
Not quite.
Welcome to 1950s Sacramento, when master lobbyist Artie Samish, the self-styled "Governor of the Legislature" ruled the State Capitol.
"Citizen" legislators all had other sources of income.
"Some," according to Samish, "augmented their income by outright bribes." Others benefitted from "legal ways" of augmenting their income "and simultaneously making them friendly to your own organization."
Full- or part-time, holding two jobs always has the potential for legislative conflict of interest.
In fact, there are numerous examples of this tension in part-time local governments today. Think City of Bell. Or Vernon. Or Compton.
By the mid-1960s, California's part-time legislature, outgunned by the staff and resources of the executive branch, was meeting full-time, in myriad special sessions demanded by the state's growth and complexity.
That's when the legislature put Proposition 1A on the ballot; it offered legislators a full-time job with a full-time salary—to make them less susceptible to conflicts of interest, less dependent on lobbyists' largess, and less dominated by a full-time, fully-staffed executive.
The outcome has been less than perfect. But don't let the siren call of a "part-time," "citizen" legislature fool you.
Politics is always a full-time job, and politics, in the best sense, is integral to shaping policy.
The last time Californians voted to punish their legislators, they instituted draconian term limits. Hmmmmm…That reform sure worked out, didn't it?

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has admitted that he doesn't care if David Cameron likes his music.
In a rare interview with Dazed & Confused magazine, the 44-year-old singer disagreed with musicians like Morrissey and Paul Weller, who have attacked the British Prime Minister for listening to their songs.
"I can't say I love the idea of a banker liking our music, or David Cameron," Yorke said. "But I also equally think, who cares? As long as he doesn't use it for his election campaigns, I don't care. I'd sue the living ---- out of him if he did."
"I can't believe he'd like [experimental Radiohead album] King of Limbs much," he added.
Yorke was talking to the British magazine to promote his new side-project, Atoms for Peace. The band, which also features Red Hot Chilli Peppers bassist Flea and long-term Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, will release debut album Amok next month.
It is the first album made by Yorke with a full band other than Radiohead – though he released the Mercury Prize-nominated solo effort The Eraser in 2006 – and will be released almost 20 years to the day since Radiohead's debut, Pablo Honey.
Since then, Radiohead have become one of the most influential – and popular – bands of their generation, releasing a further seven acclaimed albums, including OK Computer (1997) and Hail to the Thief (2003).
Yorke also revealed in the interview that he almost had a brush with US President Barack Obama at the Copenhagen climate change summit in 2009.
"I went to the Copenhagen summit, and that permanently flipped my lid, because the whole thing was so wrong. Obama stormed straight past me after the meeting he had with China, and it was just horrible.
"It sort of spun me out permanently to be honest. When you're presented with that level of stupidity it king of blows your mind."
However, despite writing a song about the death of weapons expert David Kelly in 2006, Yorke said he was unlikely to start including more politics in his lyrics.
"The David Kelly thing was very much an exception. I thought it was just so horribly English, so f----d up. [But] politics is not a fun thing to write about."
Radiohead completed their most recent tour last November, and despite Atoms for Peace having no scheduled gigs to promote their album, Yorke said he has a strict yoga regime for not succumbing to post-tour blues.
"I do a minimum of an hour's yoga a day, usually an hour and a half. Coming off tour you have this mad adrenalin, so it's a way of stopping the adrenalin crash. It stops me dropping."
Amok by Atoms for Peace will be released on February 25.

A series of recent studies have implicated sedentary lifestyle in the obesity epidemic. The idea is, even if you hit the gym a few times a week, parking it in front of the T.V. at night dwindles away any benefits gained [1]. Every hour on the couch costs us dearly. But what about the office chair? Dare we take this one on? A recent study [2] does exactly that in targeting the specific role of sedentary work in our nation's obesity crisis. Our desk jobs, the study's authors suggest, represent a key culprit behind our society's expanding waistlines.
Dr. Timothy Church, Dr. John McIlhenny and their associates examined trends related to occupational activity and the corresponding increase in American obesity rates since the 1960s. Fifty years ago, over fifty percent of occupations included moderate physical exertion. Today that number has dropped to less than twenty percent. In keeping with this pattern, Drs. Church and McIlhenny suggest we use, on average, a hundred calories less during a workday than we did fifty years ago. The impact of this change adds up over time – one belt notch at a time.
It makes sense. Sure, a lot of people in this country watch a lot of T.V. However, most of us spend more time at our jobs during the workweek than we do at home – when it comes to non-sleeping hours, that is. Add up eight hours (at least), lunch (which we may or may not actually take), and commute (more sitting [3]!), and you're looking at ten hours effectively stricken from the "free time for fitness" schedule. Ten hours is a lot to try to make up for. (What would Grok [4] say?) By the time we get home, there's cooking, cleaning, laundry, phone calls, and bills. That doesn't even allow for our partners, our kids, friends, and any volunteer or social engagements [5]. Suddenly, it's 11:00. It's hard not to see the study authors' point.
It wasn't always this way of course. A hundred years ago most of us were farmers or factory workers. Even those who worked in shops carried and stocked their own shelves. Nurses, doctors, and other service attendants were on their feet all day. Work meant manual labor to all but a relative few. Don't get me wrong: I'm not pining for the good old days of child labor and 12-hour work days, six days a week. As Dr. Church suggests, however, there's something significant to be learned from the trend itself.
In the last couple of decades, many business leaders have come to understand that a healthy set of employees means fewer sick days, lower insurance costs, and increased productivity. Companies have increasingly started reimbursing gym memberships or other health equipment. Some offer workplace gyms (and the opportunity to use them over a lunch hour or break). The message with these programs has mostly been this, however: do it, but do it on your own time. The idea of working out during the workday itself introduces a new angle and may be somewhat of a game changer.
Some businesses have already jumped on the wagon. The convertible standing workstations outfitted with customized treadmills have established a kind of gold standard, an ideal style workstation that I think most of us find ourselves daydreaming about at some point. One study suggests [6] these vertical, treadmill equipped workstations alone could allow obese workers to lose some 30 kilograms a year with just two hours of work day use. Despite the $4000+ price tag, some companies offer them to each employee [7] and even stock small conference rooms with them. They believe the investment in worker health pays off with increases in employee efficiency [8] as well as boosts to individual creativity and meeting productivity.
There are less expensive options, however. Research [9] has shown that offering a portable pedal machine (essentially a footstool sized set of pedals) is enough to significantly add exercise for study participants (some up to 13.5 miles cycled per day). All subjects reported that they'd continue using the device if their employers offered them the option. The devices in question cost around $90-$100. Compare that to the cost of a single sick day or a month's worth of insulin supplies.
Even without specific workplace equipment, there's plenty we can do [10] to counteract the sedentary nature of our jobs. How many of us with desk jobs skip our breaks and take lunch at our desk? How often do we actually get up out of our chairs? Research demonstrates that even small breaks make big differences. Breaks as short as a minute were enough to make a positive difference [11] in both subjects' waist size and C-reactive protein measures. The more, the merrier. How about keeping a set of light dumbbells or kettlebells at your desk for some lifts here and there? Maybe one of those step platforms for calf raises? Then there's always the chance to run up and down the office stairwells. Take advantage of the empty conference room to do a few minutes of yoga. Go ahead: be that guy or gal. Why not?
I happen to believe in the concept of individual initiative (as well as responsibility), but I also believe that good health doesn't just benefit a person's after hours home life. A business has plenty to gain from a healthy workforce. I know mine does (three of my employees are now sporting standing workstations). Perhaps more business owners and managers will consider how some of these options can serve their workplace efficiency and employee retention. Maybe more individual employees will take it upon themselves to initiate their own measures – whether at their own desks or in the community rooms. Studies – and media stories – like these can hopefully make these conversations – and productive changes – easier.
The ultimate, underlying message of this study for me is the emphasis on active living as a whole. For too long we've heard about twenty minutes three times a week. We're so bent on minimizing efforts, honing in on the absolute minimum exertion we must make, we've lost the forest through the trees. That's what I love about the Grok example. The lifestyle of our hunter-gatherer ancestors offers a historically sound standard, a telling model that we can measure against the life we live today. Our history can teach us about our genetic expectations, which contemporary research can then confirm. Too often, we see how far modern life has strayed from physiological imperatives.
As Dr. Ross Brownson, an epidemiologist who took up the workplace inactivity question just a few years ago, responded to the recent study in a New York Times article [12] a few weeks ago: "'We need to think about physical activity as a more robust concept than just recreational physical activity…. In many ways we've engineered physical activity out of our lives, so we've got to find ways to put it back into our lives, like taking walks during breaks or having opportunities for activity that are more routine to our daily lives, not just going to the health club.'" Hmmm…activity as a lifestyle itself. As much moderate and slow moving as we can muster. Does that sound familiar [13] to anyone here?
Finally, for those whose particular job duties or workplace culture negate the possibility of active adaptations, rest assured you're not doomed to a life of ill health despite all your at-home efforts. (We all knew this, correct?) Certainly, it's worth taking the breaks you can and indulging in the exercise you can manage during the workday. However, make your free time fitness count for all it can with interval training and as much general activity as you can fit into your personal hours. If stress is an issue at your job, keep the damage to a minimum with a simple stress management practice (e.g. yoga, Tai Chi, etc.) at home and sneak a minute of mantras or poses [14] into your day. Finally, diet of course is 80% of the body weight picture (sounds familiar, no?). Your Primal plan [15] has you covered.
Thanks for reading today. Let me know what you think of the workplace-obesity connection. How has an active job been healthy for you? Alternately, how have you gotten creative coping with a sedentary one? Have a great week, everybody!

Actor Alec Baldwin and a photographer have both filed formal harassment complaints against each other after a heated exchange on Sunday, according to police.
Police confirmed the complaints were filed by both Baldwin and photographer G. N. Miller, who works for the New York Post.
U.S. & World
The New York Post reports Baldwin called Miller a racial epithet during the confrontation, in addition to calling him a "crackhead" and "drug dealer."
The paper also reported he grabbed a reporter's arm and told her, "I want you to choke to death." The reporter, Tara Palmieri, provided an audio recording of the dispute to the police, according to the paper.
Baldwin's spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, told the Post that Miller's accusations are "completely false."
There were no arrests or reported injuries after Sunday morning's confrontation.
The NYPD says it is investigating.

| 16.3°C Belfast
Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen has agreed to move to Premier League newcomers West Ham.
The 37-year-old has agreed personal terms on a one-year deal with the Hammers with an option for a second year, and will move to Upton Park when his Wanderers contract expires at the end of the month.
"I'm delighted to be joining West Ham United. After spending 15 years in Bolton it's a great new challenge and I'm really looking forward to it," the former Finland international told West Ham's official website.
"Everything has happened really quickly. When the opportunity was offered to come to West Ham I didn't think twice and I just told my agent to sort it out as quickly as possible.
"I appreciate Bolton giving me permission to speak to West Ham before my contract was up and for the efforts the chairman made in trying to get me to stay.
"I would like to thank the fans for all their support over the years and I wish the players and, in particular, (manager) Owen Coyle all the best in gaining promotion at the first attempt."
Jaaskelainen, who joined Bolton in 1997 from Finnish club Vaasan Palloseura, played for eight years under current Hammers boss Sam Allardyce at Wanderers.
The emergence of young Hungarian keeper Adam Bogdan limited his opportunities last season though, as Bolton were relegated to the Championship.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The newly rebuilt San Sebastian Bridge on U.S. Highway 1 in St. Augustine was officially opened Friday as Florida Department of Transportation, St. Augustine and St. Johns County officials joined in the ribbon cutting.
The $13.5 million replacement of the existing 51-year-old bridge was accelerated and completed in about 18 months to not conflict with the events for the city of St. Augustine's 450th anniversary.
The new four-lane bridge has additional safety measures added, including a 2-foot, 8-inch high barrier wall between the travel lanes and the sidewalk and a designated 4-foot wide bicycle lane.
The new bridge was replaced as vehicles continued to use the old bridge. The travel lanes were reduced in width and traffic was shifted to accommodate the demolition of the old bridge and construction of the new bridge.

I have code linked to CLAPACK 3.2.1. I'm running in to a problem with dlarfp. I've seen
and I'm hoping someone can confirm the problem I'm seeing is related to the bug (or another bug documented somewhere else) so I can determine if I should port to something newer (lapacke or magma) or try to understand how to avoid the situation if it's something I'll run in to anyway. (Obviously I *should* upgrade at some point, but I also hope to graduate this May...)
The issue is that I'm doing a least squares regression using dgels. On occasion the code does not return but computes for hours. When I attach to the process with GDB I'm able to 'next' down a few stack frames until I get to dlarfp_(), but the code never returns from dlarfp. as shown below (sorry, I lost the rest of the info above the scrollback).
If there's info I could get to help I can try to dig it out, but the algorithm is a genetic algorithm and so the B array is randomly generated.
In short, is the bug I mentioned, or another one I'm not aware of, one which would cause computation to carry on without stoping?
Thanks for the help.

KENT, Ohio (AP) Randal Holt scored 19 points to lead Kent State past Arkansas State 73-69 Saturday night in a nonconference showdown.
Chris Evans finished with 16 points and six rebounds, and Thomas Kellon came off the bench to add 14 points for Kent State (7-5).
After trailing at halftime 40-34, Arkansas State (6-5) got within one, 61-60, on Rakeem Dickerson's free throw with 5:52 left in the second half.
Kent State responded with an 8-1 run to take a 69-62 lead with 3:44 left to play. Kellon's 3-pointer and layup sparked the Golden Flashes' run.
With 38 seconds left, Brandon Peterson made two free throws for Arkansas State to cut the deficit to two, 71-69, but Evans converted on two free throws to go up four with just 6 seconds remaining, sealing the victory.
Ed Townsel led the Red Wolves with 24 points, 19 coming after halftime.

As the CBS blackout for Time Warner Cable customers continues into its third week because of an unsettled contract dispute, nearly three million subscribers in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and other cities cannot watch programming on one of the Big Four networks.
According to reports, TWC is paying 50 cents a month for each subscriber, and demands from CBS would raise the fee to $1. There is also a dispute over how Time Warner can deliver CBS content to its customers via other platforms, such as the Internet and mobile apps.
Some Time Warner customers have switched to alternative methods to get CBS programming, but the network has even tried to stifle those attempts. People using an IP address from the cable company have been blocked from accessing CBS on the web.
And one caller to this newspaper said that they tried to use a digital antennae to watch the final round of the PGA championship over the free airwaves, only to find that CBS had replaced the golf tournament on that platform with nonstop weather and traffic reports.
Now CBS is going after viewers who might not even be Time Warner customers, but simply someone who decided to forgo cable altogether and be content with using the old method of a pair of rabbit ears.
That's pretty low, CBS, and we have to cry foul on that.
What's becoming increasingly clear to us is that CBS is trying to make up for dwindling ad revenues and competition from services like Hulu, Netflix and on-demand viewing, to name a few, by demanding more from companies like Time Warner and DirecTV for their content – the same content that CBS, in many cases, provides for free on its own website.
So the two companies continue their stalemate, and once again the people who lose out are the customers.

Reye syndrome is a rare disease that occurs almost exclusively
in children younger than age 15 and can cause severe liver and brain damage.
Taking aspirin during a viral infection seems to significantly raise the risk of developing Reye
syndrome, so do not give aspirin to anyone younger than age 20 unless told to do so by a doctor.
Reye syndrome can
occur when a child seems to be recovering from a viral infection such as a
cold, flu, or chickenpox. Symptoms include vomiting, lack of energy, excessive
sleepiness, memory loss, confusion, and coma.

I know this is a popular question. I am getting the following error when I browse to http://[my server]/faq/phpmyfaq:
I'm using Ubuntu server 16.04, phpmyfaq 2.9.2, LAMP with PHP 7.0 and apache 2.4.The following directories could not be created or are not writable:
- /attachments
- /data
- /images
Please create them manually and/or change access to chmod 775 (or greater if necessary).
I transferred my phpmyfaq directory into /var/www/faq. I created new directories as such:
I changed the permissions and ownership:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir ./attachments
sudo mkdir ./data
sudo mkdir ./images
sudo mkdir ./config
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/faq
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/faq
Using ls -l I've confirmed that everything under and including faq has 777 permissions and is owned by www-data.
I also changed the ownership of www:
I do not have SE linux installed.
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
I've restarted apache2.
I've tried deleting everything under faq and put phpmyfaq back in there, repeating the above steps.
Is there anything else I could try that might work? Let me know if you need more information.

New Patents Expand SustainX Position
Business Wire
June 29, 2011
SustainX, Inc., developer of an industry-leading, transformative technology for utility-scale energy storage using compressed air, today announced that it has received a U.S. patent giving it control over a technology combining cogeneration with isothermal compressed-air energy storage to turn waste energy into electricity. Another new patent establishes the company's ownership of a control system for maintaining constant power to and from its energy storage system.
Cogeneration is the production of electricity using energy left over from some other process. For example, a conventional power plant discards heat not intense enough to make steam, wasting about 60 percent of the energy released from its fuel. SustainX storage technology can turn a portion of this waste heat into electricity, supplying a storage function and a cogeneration function at the same time. It is the only utility-scale energy storage option that can harvest additional electricity from low-grade heat.
"This cogeneration patent allows SustainX to expand the type of systems it develops, providing more market options," said Dax Kepshire, Vice President and co-founder of the company. "This will allow us to help renewable energy projects fulfill their power requirements and existing fossil fuel plants to operate in a more environmentally-friendly manner."

Giving birth is one of the most intense and wonderful moments in a woman's life. At the birth of her daughter Gilda, Clarisse Le Court, founder of Claripharm™, felt an indescribable joy but at the same time encountered, like thousands of other women, the intimate discomfort and pain experienced post-delivery. She found that nothing, or very little, was offered to her in the way of relief. Following this inconvenience, and seeing that no effective options were available for the intimacy of women, Clarisse felt the need to offer innovative and effective solution. She created the Claripharm™ brand with the will of designing an entire range of products for women's intimatecomfort and care, answering every need in a vagina's life.

strptime(str='-4712-01-01', fmt='%F', sg=ITALY)
Create a new Date object by parsing from a String according to a specified format.
str is a String holding a date representation. fmt is the format that the date is in. See date/format.rb for details on supported formats.
The default str is '-4712-01-01', and the default fmt is '%F', which means Year-Month-Day_of_Month. This gives Julian Day Number day 0.
sg specifies the Day of Calendar Reform.
An ArgumentError will be raised if str cannot be parsed.
# File lib/date.rb, line 978 def self.strptime(str='-4712-01-01', fmt='%F', sg=ITALY) elem = _strptime(str, fmt) new_by_frags(elem, sg) end
Uses same arguments as Time#strftime
I believe this uses the same parsing format as strftime.

This video was filmed at a seminar in Lund, Sweden and it looks at the "double block" / "reinforced block" found towards the end of Pinan Shodan / Heian Nidan. Personally I see the main application of this motion being a response to a throat grab which may happen following the application of the shuto-ukes found earlier in the kata. At the seminar we explained the full progression found in the kata, and that can also be found on my DVD, "The Pinan / Heian Series: The Complete Fighting System Volume 1". Nevertheless, despite not being able to communicate the details of the combative progression of the kata in this quick clip, I hope it is still of some use to all those who view it.
All the best,

Osmos HD
Osmos HD, by Hemisphere Games, made its jump to the Android Market in late January, and brought with it some insanely relaxing gameplay. It was previously available on computer and iDevices, so you may have played it before it became available on Android. However, if you haven't played it already, the concept is ridiculously simple, but oh-so awesome.
Basically, you control a tiny little lifeform called a 'mote', and aim to consume or avoid being consumed by other 'motes.' It may sound odd, and way too simple to be fun, but that's just not the case.Read More

Blood in the Urine (Hematuria)
What Is Hematuria?
When blood gets into a person's urine (pee), doctors call it hematuria (hee-ma-TUR-ee-uh). Hematuria is pretty common, and most of the time it's not serious.
Peeing is one way our bodies get rid of waste products. The process starts in the kidneys, which remove excess fluids and waste from the blood and turn them into urine. The urine then flows through tubes called ureters into the bladder, where it's stored until we pee it out. If blood cells leak into the urine at any part of the process, it causes hematuria.
There are two kinds of hematuria:
- Microscopic hematuria is when blood in the urine is invisible to the naked eye; it only shows up under a microscope. In many cases, microscopic hematuria goes away without causing any problems. In fact, people might never know they have it unless they get a urine test.
- Gross hematuria may sound nasty, but it's usually not — in medicine, "gross" is just a word that describes when something is large or happens in bigger amounts. Gross hematuria just means that enough red blood cells are in a person's urine to turn it red or tea-colored. Like microscopic hematuria, gross hematuria often clears up on its own with no problems. Sometimes, though, it can be a sign of a more serious condition.
Teens can get hematuria for many reasons. The more common causes are:
- bladder or kidney infections
- defects in the structure of the urinary tract
- inherited diseases
- mineral imbalances in the urine, like too much calcium
- kidney stones
- kidney diseases
- taking certain medicines, like some over-the-counter pain relievers
Other reasons why teens get hematuria are menstruation, vigorous exercise, and injuries to the kidneys or urinary tract. Many athletes, especially distance runners, get hematuria from time to time.
In rare cases in children, hematuria can be a sign of kidney cancer or bladder cancer, a blood disease, or a blood clot. If something like that is going on, hematuria will usually be one of many other symptoms.
Very occasionally, what looks like hematuria might be something else. It's possible (though unlikely) that things like food dye, some foods (like beets or blackberries), or certain prescription medicines can make a person's urine look red.
What Doctors Do
If you ever see blood in your urine, don't panic. Chances are, it's no big deal. But you'll want to be sure, so tell your mom or dad and see a doctor. If you need treatment, it's good to get started right away.
If you see a doctor about blood in your urine or if microscopic hematuria shows up on a urine test, the doctor will give you a physical examination. He or she will ask you and your parent questions about recent activities and family medical history. You'll probably need to provide a urine sample, which means peeing in a cup.
If the urine test comes back negative, the doctor will probably want another urine sample 1-2 weeks later to make sure the urine is free of red blood cells. If hematuria only happens once, there's usually no need for any treatment.
What if tests show you have microscopic hematuria? If you don't have any symptoms like pain or fever, you haven't had a recent injury, and there's no protein in your urine, your doctor will do more urine tests over a few months to see if you still have blood in your urine.
If urine samples point to something more serious or you've had a recent injury, you'll probably need additional tests, such as a urine culture (more peeing in a cup!), or imaging tests like a kidney ultrasound, an MRI, or a CT scan. Occasionally, doctors need to remove a tiny piece of kidney tissue for testing (biopsy) or use instruments to check inside the body.
Most teens who have hematuria won't need any kind of treatment for it. Those who get blood in their urine more than once but have no other signs of illness may need urine tests and physical exams every few months for a year and yearly after that as a precaution. Hematuria that is due to an infection will be treated with antibiotics.
If you've been treated for hematuria, your doctor will probably want you to get follow-up tests to make sure your urine is free of red blood cells. If the hematuria goes away, your doctor may still want to check your pee once a year.
When hematuria is a sign of something more serious — like kidney stones or a specific kidney disease — doctors will treat that condition.

This weekend, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving!
A holiday in which we give thanks for the year we have had, and in traditional terms - for the harvest of the field.
It is always on the second Monday of the month of October - having been decided in 1931. Before that, it had been observed on the same day as Armistice Day - both being on November 11th.
This weekend has been nice, sunny and warm. A lot different from that Thanksgiving in 1993 when it snowed and snowed, followed by the coldest winter that had been seen in these parts in years. I remember it well because it was the first year in our new house, and to see the grounds covered in snow was more like Christmas than Thanksgiving.
It has always been a family holiday with turkey, dressing, and all of those roots vegetables - potatoes, carrots, turnips, and a pumpkin or apple pie.
The dinner was usually eaten on Sunday or Monday (it was always on Sunday in my house), and the drive on Monday to my maternal grandparents (Blades) house, and to see my maternal aunts and uncles and cousins who all lived in the town of Barrington Passage, Nova Scotia.
Today, I am staying home to proof an article I have coming out on Chinese-Canadian Immigration in the early 1880s to 1900s, and then tomorrow I will go for a drive to the beautiful Gatineau Hills - which are so colourful this time of year.
So whichever way you celebrate your Thanksgiving weekend, may it be a pleasant one!
And to our American cousins, we wish you the same, just a bit earlier. Enjoy the playoffs!

I notice that my method doesn't work even though I tried to get it's while-loop set-up to do the following things:
- Have each token of a string get put into another one
- Replace each given-substring (string2) with it's assigned-replacement (string3) as the string's (string1) tokens pass by
- Have it's final answer returned as a variable to the main-method
Here is my code that has each of it's parts with a comment...
// For the replacement of a substring with another one. public static String replaceSubstring(String string1, String string2, String string3) { Scanner keys = new Scanner(System.in); // Use a StringTokenizer-object for breaking a string // down to the point of finding that matching-substring // in general. StringTokenizer numOne = new StringTokenizer(string1, " ", true); StringTokenizer num1 = new StringTokenizer(string1, " ", true); StringTokenizer numWon = new StringTokenizer(string1, " ", true); String attacher = new String(); // Find the substring with the while-loop. while (numOne.hasMoreTokens()) { if (num1.nextToken() == string2) { attacher += string3; } if (numWon.nextToken() != string2) { attacher += numWon.nextToken(); } } // Finally, return the String-object. return attacher; }
...and here is the output-part I want to avoid at runtime.
Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException
at java.util.StringTokenizer.nextToken(StringTokenize r.java:349)
at MiscellaneousStr.replaceSubstring(MiscellaneousStr .java:93)
at MiscellaneousSDemo.main(MiscellaneousSDemo.java:84 )
So as you can see, I have to avoid getting a message that refers to having no more elements in an enumeration.
Any suggestions?
