There's no reason why everyone can't have access to at least one of these plants, since they are easy to grow indoors. To get best results, the gel must be fresh and undiluted.

We develop a method of imputing ego network characteristics for respondents in probability samples of individuals. This imputed network uses the homophily principle to estimate certain properties of a respondent's core discussion network in the absence of actual network data. These properties measure the potential exposure of respondents to the attitudes, values, beliefs, and so on of their (likely) network alters.
Do appeals that subtly invoke negative racial stereotypes shift whites' political attitudes by harnessing their racial prejudice? Though widely cited in academic and popular discourse, prior work finds conflicting evidence for this "dogwhistle hypothesis." Here we test the hypothesis in two experiments (total N = 1,797) in which white Americans' racial attitudes were measured two weeks before they read political messages in which references to racial stereotypes were implicit, explicit, or not present at all.

The Christmas Day snow has moved out of North Texas, but dropping temperatures brought icy road conditions.
Road conditions quickly began to deteriorate in Fort Worth as night fell. Icy slush on the roads began to harden by 6 p.m., and MedStar said it responded to 71 crashes between 5 p.m. and 9:50 p.m.
Numerous other crashes were reported throughout the Metroplex, and a number of roads and overpasses were closed because of ice or crashes.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Drivers can call the Texas Department of Transportation's highway conditions hotline at 800-452-9292 to hear about road conditions throughout the state.
Dallas emergency crews have been monitoring roads throughout the day. Sand trucks were moving out by 5:30 p.m.
The city's Department of Street Services activated Ice Force 1, which consists of 30 sanding trucks, at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The first shift will run from 3 p.m. to midnight, and the second shift will come in at 11:30 p.m. and stay until noon Wednesday.
Drivers are encouraged to call 311 if they come upon a slick spot so the street crews can respond.
In Fort Worth, trucks fitted with sand spreaders began sanding operations at 4:30 p.m., mainly on bridges and overpasses. Thirty trucks have been on call since Monday.
Fort Worth had two or three trucks patrolling for problems spots Tuesday. If crews find conditions worsening, they will start working 12-hour shifts.
In Collin County, the snow and ice on the Dallas North Tollway overpasses at State Highway 121 began to harden by 6 p.m.
Texas Department of Transportation
The Texas Department of Transportation in Dallas has activated its Emergency Operations Center.
Crews in Collin and Denton counties have found some icing on roads. Those roads are being treated.
TxDOT oversees seven counties that make up its district. The overnight crews have been called in to begin checking equipment.
Bridges and overpasses are the first concern because they are the first to freeze.
The weather conditions that lead to icing include a drop in temperatures, along with the winds picking up. TxDOT believes we could see more icing.
North Texas Tollway Authority
The North Texas Tollway Authority said maintenance crews started patrolling the roadways at 10 a.m. They are using sensors to measure pavement temperatures and conditions on the roads, bridges and ramps.
If freezing conditions develop, the NTTA said it would dispatch crews to sand, plow or de-ice roads. The NTTA has 2,000 tons of MD-20 de-icer and 12,000 tons of sand on standby.
If needed, crews will work 12-hours shifts until the weather event is over.
Travel Trouble in Oklahoma
In Oklahoma, authorities warned would-be travelers to stay home Tuesday as freezing rain and sleet caused a 21-vehicle pileup on Interstate 40 in Oklahoma City on Tuesday morning.
Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph said several people were taken to hospitals, but she didn't have details on their injuries or conditions.
Power Outages
As of 9:02 p.m., Oncor Electric Delivery reported more than 2,300 customers were without power in the four major counties in North Texas.
The vast majority of the outages were in Dallas County, which had 1,651 outages.
NBC 5's Ray Villeda and Scott Gordon contributed to this report.

A "Real Housewife of New Jersey" star known for flaunting her money has some genuine financial problems.
Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe have filed for bankruptcy after running up debts of nearly $9 million.
"While this is a personal matter, I realize that certain aspects of my private life will always be subject to scrutiny and distortion," Giudice told People magazine. "What is true is that due to the economy, most of my husband's real estate ventures failed despite his hard work and effort. As a result, we looked to the Bankruptcy Court for a 'fresh start.'"
Papers filed in federal court in Newark, N.J., show that Giudice, 38, and her husband filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which requires liquidation of assets in order to pay creditors, in October of last year.
Known for blowing big bucks on her kids and a new suburban mansion, the couple declared their personal assets, which include real property and personal property, as $2,261,150. But they owe $8,709,831.34.
It's not clear how much Teresa Giudice earns for appearing on the Bravo show, where she once flipped over a table in a fit of rage. But the couple listed their monthly income, including help from family members, at $16,583.33.
"When people fall, the way to success is to get up and learn from our mistakes," Giudice said. "We are in that process."

WASHINGTON – In response to an E15 statement by AAA this morning, Bob Dinneen, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), commented:
"If AAA weren't so deep in the Big Oil politics, they would stop manufacturing concern about the efficacy of ethanol blend use and report enthusiastically about ethanol's consumer gasoline price savings. Their misplaced concern today, that E15 should be further tested before being offered for sale reflects a pathetic ignorance of EPA's unprecedented test program before approving E15 for commercial use. The fact is E15 has been the most aggressively and comprehensively tested fuel in the history of the Agency. The miles driven on E15 equate to 12 round trips to the moon and back without a single failure, unless you want to count the deer that was killed on the test track! E15 is a safe fuel, as evidenced by the fact auto manufacturers are now providing warranty coverage for it."
Dinneen continued, "AAA's antipathy toward ethanol is well known and tired. But when put in contrast to gasoline quality issues AAA continues to ignore, one has to wonder whose interest they're truly trying to protect, consumers or oil companies? For years, refiners in vast swaths of the country have sold sub-87 octane fuel, which no auto company warranties today. Where's AAA's outrage and concern about that?"
"You would think in this struggling economy, AAA would support a domestic renewable fuel that reduced wholesale gasoline prices by a national average of $1.09 per gallon in 2011, according to an updated study authored by professors at the University of Wisconsin and Iowa State University. In the Midwest, savings were even greater at $1.69 per gallon."
Dinneen concluded, "American consumers are looking for a choice when it comes to fueling their vehicles, and they now have one more domestic, renewable fuel option with E15. Ethanol has helped reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil by 45 percent in 2011 and is supporting more than 400,000 jobs across the country that can't be outsourced. There is a lot to like about this high octane green fuel. "
The RFA is working diligently with the petroleum industry, gas retailers, automakers, and consumers to ensure E15 is used properly. For more consumer information, please visit ChooseEthanol.com/E15.

2015 Cadillac Escalade Launch Video Calls SUV The Next Icon
Shortly after the demise of the full-size, rear-drive Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham sedan, the body-on-frame Escalade SUV arrived to become the premium automaker's flagship model. Now in its fourth generation, the 2015 Cadillac Escalade is more distinct from the Tahoe and Yukon full-size SUVs. A new video calls the 2015 Escalade the next luxury icon.
In the video, a couple heads from a private jet to a 2015 Escalade waiting in the hangar. After leaving the airport, they drive past several windmills as they distance themselves from the city. Eventually the couple arrives in a secluded spot to gaze at the full moon.
The idea of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade as another icon may not be so far-fetched. Cadillac's Bob Ferguson has hinted at the possibility of the automaker using the well-known Escalade nameplate on a larger crossover, though the idea isn't finalized.
Check out the one-and-a-half minute launch video as well as the full 26-minute 2015 Cadillac Escalade reveal below.

Liberty News
School of Engineering receives $300,000 software grant
Liberty University School of Engineering and Computational Sciences (SECS) was recently awarded a $300,000 grant from Simio to add new simulation software to its educational resources library.
The Simio Academic Edition software will teach students how to solve real world engineering and computational problems, allowing them to rapidly model almost any system without programming. The software has no model size limits and includes discrete and continuous modeling, object library development and 3D animation.
Scott Pleasants, manager of SECS Technology & Research Labs, said the software can incorporate objects from Google's 3D Warehouse, which will "allow the students to create robust and dynamic simulation processes without sacrificing time."
SECS was recharged in the fall of 2007 for the purpose of showcasing Liberty University's academic curriculum related to the fields of Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, and Web Technology & Design.
SECS is temporarily located on the renovated third floor of the Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center, but plans are under way to build a new $20 million facility. With these plans, a $113,000 research grant and now a software grant, SECS is sure to lead a prosperous future, helping fulfill the late Dr. Jerry Falwell's vision to train and send engineers out into the world with a Christian worldview.
SECS offers undergraduate degrees in four engineering fields — electrical, industrial, software and computer engineering. Along with the electrical and software concentrations, students can earn an intelligence specialization minor. Rounding out the school's offerings are three computational science programs –computer science, management information systems and Web design and technology.
For more information, visit the SECS webpage.

Using the Command-Line Interface
This chapter explains how to use the text-based command-line interface that provides the same functions as the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager graphical user interface (GUI) in environments where a GUI is not available.
This chapter provides a description, syntax, and examples for each CLI command. Text that you enter literally is shown in bold. Optional parameters are shown enclosed in [square brackets]. Variables for which you must substitute values are shown in italics. When you may select between multiple parameters, options are separated by a bar ( | ).
This chapter contains the following sections:
This section contains the following subsections:
The command-line interface is used interactively or in batch mode. With interactive mode, enter commands at the prompt. In batch mode, create scripts and run the script in the appropriate shell. For example:
In either mode, if the command fails, you immediately see an error message for the command that failed. Other script messages that you may encounter indicate the command completed successfully, or the command was aborted.
To access the online help for a specific command, type name-of-CLI-utility, then press Enter.
The return values are as follows:
0x00: SUCCESS
0x01: FAILURE
The requested command failed
0x02: ABORT
The command was aborted because parameters failed validation
0x03: INVALID_ARGUMENTS
The arguments are incorrect. (Displays COMMAND help)
0x04: UNSUPPORTED
The command is unsupported
0x06: INVALID_ADAPTER
The adapter specified does not exist (special case for INVALID_ARGUMENTS)
The command-line interface event log shows the results of a command in the form of the following:
Additionally, when using the romupdate or driverupdate commands, the event log will display the old and new version of the firmware or driver being updated.
This feature allows you to save logs documenting all commands. The following is an example of saving a firmware update event log.
The error log keeps an inventory of all relevant information from an event failure. The error log file also contains return codes (for details see Identifying Return Codes) that will help diagnose why a command failed.
When saving an event log, you can specify the log name and path by using the eventlog optional parameter, type name-of-CLI eventlog path, then press Enter.
This feature allows you to save logs documenting all event failures. The following is an example of saving a driver update error log.
This section provides information on the arcconf commands. The section contains the following subsections:

Tellico closed...
I just got this email from USDA...
Dear Interested Party:
The USDA Forest Service is seeking comments on two proposals regarding management of the Upper Tellico Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) System:
1. An Environmental Assessment (EA) for the long-term management of the Upper Tellico OHV System. You may download a copy of the EA and related graphics at http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/tellico. If you would like to receive a paper copy of the EA, please e-mail your request to: firstname.lastname@example.com or call (828) 257-4817, and one will be mailed to you. For questions concerning the project or the EA contact Candace Wyman, Project Coordinator, at 828-257-4816.
2. A temporary closure of the Upper Tellico OHV System for resource protection, effective April 1, 2009. This closure would prohibit possession or use of a motorized vehicle on a road or trail within the Upper Tellico OHV System, with the exception of highway-legal vehicles on 420-1 and certain other exceptions described in the closure order until a final project decision is implemented.
The Upper Tellico OHV System is located on Tusquitee Ranger District, Nantahala National Forest, Cherokee County, NC. In June 2008, we publicized a proposal for long-term management of the System, designed to greatly reduce the amount of soil leaving the System and entering the Tellico River and its tributaries, while still providing an OHV trail system. This proposal is referred to as the "proposed action" or Alternative B and is described in detail in Chapter 1 of the EA. We received around 1,500 public comments on the proposed action. Alternatives to the proposed action were developed in response to the comments and environmental issues identified by the Agency. A wide range of comments was received, so six alternatives are analyzed in the EA, identified as Alternatives A through F. We would now like your review and comment on the alternatives and analysis before making a final decision on long-term management of the System.
The following is a brief description of the alternatives analyzed in detail in the EA. Please refer to the EA, Chapters 2 and 3, for more information about each alternative.
• Alternative A is the "no action" alternative that reflects the existing trail system with 2007 management and funding levels.
• Alternative B is the "proposed action" that was released in June 2008 for public comment. It was developed to address the problems initially identified in trail condition surveys conducted in 2007-2008.
• Alternative C closes the OHV System, but maintains over 10 miles of existing Forest system roads in the area, open year-round or seasonally, to provide for public highway-legal vehicle access for hunting, fishing and other recreation uses. It was developed in response to public concerns that the proposed action (Alternative B) did not go far enough in eliminating trails on sensitive soils and trails near water.
• Alternative D was developed in response to public concerns that the OHV Trail System should meet current trail density and challenge level standards, and not require a Forest Plan amendment.
• Alternative E was developed in response to public concerns that the proposed action (Alternative B) would eliminate too many high challenge OHV experiences.
• Alternative F was developed in response to public concerns that the proposed action (Alternative B) would eliminate too many OHV trail miles.
The environmental concerns that initiated the proposed management changes are described in the EA, as are the projected direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects of each of these Alternatives.
The EA shows that the Upper Tellico OHV System has extensive damage and contributes unacceptable levels of sediment into the Tellico River and its tributaries. Sediment is leaving the OHV System from more than 2,000 locations along the trails. The Agency is in violation of North Carolina state water quality standards because of the conditions on Upper Tellico OHV System. Since the Upper Tellico River watershed is located in an area of steep terrain, highly erosive soils, and high rainfall, maintaining an OHV trail system without causing significant environmental damage is extremely difficult.
While I understand how important the Upper Tellico OHV System is to OHV users, the impacts to water quality are so significant that I cannot recommend keeping the System open at this time. After careful consideration of the environmental effects of the alternatives as presented in the EA, my preferred alternative is Alternative C, which closes the OHV System. Alternative C would maintain over 10 miles of existing Forest system roads (currently also OHV trails), open year-round or seasonally, to provide public access for hunting, fishing and other recreation uses. Trail 1 (FS Road 420-1) would be paved and kept open as a through route for highway-legal vehicles.
I want to emphasize that a final decision has not yet been made. This public review period is an opportunity for you to give us constructive feedback. I encourage you to review the environmental assessment and provide us with any information that you think we have not considered adequately. Your comments need to be as specific as possible and you must provide the following information: 1) Your name and address; 2) Title of the project; 3) Specific substantive comments on the proposed action, along with supporting reasons that I should consider in reaching a decision; and 4) Your signature or other means of identification verification. For organizations, a signature or other means of identification verification must be provided for the individual authorized to represent your organization.
Comments must be postmarked or received within 30 days beginning the day after publication of this notice in The Asheville Citizen-Times. Comments may be mailed electronically, in a common digital format, to: comments-southern-north-carolina-nan...firstname.lastname@example.com; or by regular mail to: National Forests in North Carolina, Attn: Candace Wyman, 160 A Zillicoa Street, Asheville, NC 28801, or faxed to 828-257-4263. Hand delivered comments must be received within our normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Thank you for your continued interest in management of the National Forests in North Carolina and the Tusquitee Ranger District.

It's been a great year for Cutch. His Pirates put together their first winning season in 20 years, he won the NL MVP award, and now he just got engaged on national TV.
This whole thing was pretty damn sweet, and it was made all the better by the presence of a sweet-ass top hat. Now, do you have a mom? She probably wants to see this.

This article originally appeared on Financial Samurai.
If you look carefully around the web, you'll read scores of articles about the desire to retire early. Yours truly wishes to finish up no later than 45, as I believe working for 20 or so years is a long enough time. I've done the math with various living and return scenarios and it can be done. But the question is whether it's a good idea? Perhaps not.
Now that the economy is in recovery mode, it'll be interesting to see how attitudes change towards early retirement. Will those who've short-circuited their careers feel the pull to return to full time work and maximize their earnings potential again? I believe so. What about all our "lifestyle design" and "digital nomad" friends who had a rough time landing something stable they truly love? Possibly they'll come back too.
Those who are able to retire early are often cherished. I certainly admire those who are able to cut down their desires to the bare bones and live a very frugal lifestyle. I also admire those who've been able to strike it rich very early! That said, perhaps early retirement isn't a good idea for the large majority of people. Let's explore several reasons why people want to retire early, why they exist, as well as understand why we should all think twice about pulling the rip chord too early. Someone has to argue the other side, so it might as well be me.
1) Haven't found the right job. The number one reason why people want to retire early is because people haven't found a job that gives them enough fulfillment to do for the rest of their lives. Nobody quits a job they like. If there was a job paying $80,000 a year to hike in the mornings and get massages in the afternoon, I'd do that forever!
2) Easier way out. If you are a sub-optimal performer, you tend to experience a sub-optimal lifestyle. It's easier to just give up as a result. Let's say you are a research scientist who after 10 years never produces any relevant research and finds no cures. Instead of going on with failure, you decide to give up and get out of the game. Early retirement is like the coward's way of not having to be the best any more.
3) People are lazy and want things now. Society has shifted our ideals from hard work and thinking long term to instant gratification. Nobody has the patience to work for decades before being eligible for a pension. We all think we know more than we do and deserve to be the rich boss now. When we don't get our way, we quit, rather than letting people know we couldn't reach our potential.
4) A feeling of hopelessness. During the downturn a tremendous amount of people began writing about location-independent lifestyles that allow one to break free from the 9-5 and "really doing what you want." In actuality, we all know that what they really wanted was to have a good job and be accepted by society. It's because of the downturn of 2008-2010 that so many were displaced with nowhere to go. If they did, perhaps they'd think differently. In an economy where everybody is losing money left and right, what's the point of working, some think. Well, the economy has roared back with a vengeance and if you aren't working, you are falling farther and farther behind.
5) Realization that time is precious. With the median lifespan hovering around 80 years old, you only have 15 years of retirement to enjoy your life if you retire at 65. People in this camp have a heightened awareness of time and therefore do everything possible to make sure they are financially stable sooner, rather than later. I'm a strong believer in this thought process, but at the same time, I don't want to cut short my potential. The worst is running out of money and being too old to do anything about it.
1) Oops, you change your mind. Imagine retiring at 37 after 15 years of work after undergrad. You spend the next 3 years traveling the world, living a leisure lifestyle and experiencing new things. At age 40, you realize the reason why travel and play is so fun is because of work! You have the urge to get back into the game, but who's going to risk hiring a 40-year-old with a 3-year employment gap? The employer will suspect you are rusty, and that you may just bolt after a year. As a result, the employer simply chooses to hire someone with no gap in their employment, or someone else from another firm.
2) You run out of money. No matter how conservative we are in our retirement money needs, something unforeseen may happen. Maybe you have a medical disaster, or your house blows down. Maybe your investments tank due to a massive economic downturn. Who knows what the future holds. But if you partake in "normal" early retirement, without the mega-millions windfall, you may find yourself needing more one day. Again, a large employment gap is perceived as riskier by the employer and you may be un-hireable. Here's a savings guideline by age you should consider.
3) You lose touch with friends and family. It's nice to have all the time in the world to do whatever you want. But, if your friends and loved ones are busy working all day, they can't join you on your midday hike or adventure to Bora Bora. They may also have a family to tend to during the evenings and on weekends. If you've ever taken a staycation by yourself, you'll soon realize how lonely it is when others are busy leading their own lives.
4) You may find it difficult to start your own family. Unless you have a tremendous amount of money, raising a child may be too expensive an endeavor to undertake as early retirees. If you never wanted to start a family, chances are you haven't been saving for a family. Let's say you're a woman who turns 35 and suddenly realizes the safety window for having a baby is closing rapidly. It may be tough to even get pregnant, let alone support a newborn without the right support network.
5) You lose your own self-respect, and the respect of others. Unless you're out there saving the world, you might start getting depressed you are contributing very little to society. Others will stop respecting you because you aren't doing anything productive either. Traveling the world and writing about how great your life is a very unproductive endeavor. You better be learning a new language and volunteering in the local community, or else you're just a travel bum. A great many rich early retiree friends from the Dotcom bubble have mentioned they wish they didn't get rich so quickly. Instead, they wish they worked a little harder for their money.
Early retirees will croon about how great their lifestyles are. I'm sure, in some ways they are spot on. But notice how they seldom write about the hardships they face. They can't, because it's important they continue highlighting how awesome everything is, to justify their decision to no longer work. Can you imagine spending 16 years going to school (grade school + four years of college) only to work for 10 years? Some would surely say that's a waste, would they not?
The worst that could happen is some aspiring scientist, musician, lawyer, or teacher decides to give up their careers because they believe traveling around the world on a shoe-string budget is so glamorous. Years later, they realize their fingers don't remember the notes anymore and the chemical formulas are one big haze. Maybe they would have made it as a concert pianist, or helped discover the cure for seasonal allergies, ACHOO! What a shame they never reach their full potential.
As I strive to fulfill my goal of retiring by 45, I've come to the realization there's an unhealthy focus on self. "What do I need to amass to be comfortable?" should be replaced with "How much do I need to be comfortable while helping others?"
It's absolutely selfish for me to even consider working less than the number of years I went to school. I think back upon my childhood years and how much effort my parents put into raising me. My mother would spend hours a week sitting down with me after dinner to explain mathematical equations. My father would read all my essays and fix all the punctuations and grammatical mistakes. I would feel like a disgrace not to at least try and do great things.
Further, what about the millions of Americans who don't pay taxes, who depend on us to continue working to pay taxes in order to help them live? Social Security and Medicare need to be funded. Roads and utility poles need to be maintained. I've paid over $100,000 a year in taxes since 1999. By removing myself out of the system, I'm no longer contributing as much to the well being of society.
Forty-five is just an age goal. If I haven't achieved my potential by then, I don't plan on retiring even if I have the money to do so. The point of having an earlier-than-normal retirement goal is to help keep someone focused. Like an exam that's 3 months away, we don't study until the week before. Hence, better to believe the exam is only a week away so that we are better prepared.
Early retirees sometimes like to pity those who have to work. Yet perhaps we should empathize with those who are lost and haven't found something they truly love to do (point #1). It's impossible to all be great humanitarians working tirelessly until the age of 65. It's easier just to give up and tell the world how fabulous your life is, and how you've retired on your "own" terms.
As the economy continues to boom, perhaps we'll be able to bring back our lifestyle design friends to their home countries to work again. Our early retiree friends will stop fearing failure as employers open their arms wide open and allow them to succeed. Entrepreneurial ideas flourish once again due to an abundance of capital. The more the wealth gap widens, the more the early retiree crowd will want to get back to work, and realize their full potential.

The photos below will give the answer to this question.
First, the 2x8-pin female header provided with the kit needs to be replaced with a 2x8-pin male header (or two 8-pin male headers side-by-side). Place the header on the top side, as shown in the picture above.
Ideally, a "shrouded 2x8-pin header" (like this) should be used here, since that will also force the ribbon cable connector to be inserted with the right orientation (notice that the peg is closer the FTDI connector).
Then connect the board to the display using the ribbon cable (coming with the display), as shown in the next photo, and very importantly, paying attention to the orientation of the connector.
In case you wanted to chain a second display, just connect, with a second ribbon cable, the OUT connector of the first with the IN connector of the second.
The Wise Clock 4 software is able to correctly handle the second display if you modify this line in file HT1632.h, from
#define NUM_DISPLAYS 1
#define NUM_DISPLAYS 2
When fully lit, the current consumption of the displays are around 500mA. The best way to power them, especially when chained, would be through the terminal block, with the the red and black wires (as shown). In this case, the Wise Clock 4 board is powered from the display (through the ribbon cable), so you don't need to use an USB cable.
The easier alternative is to use the USB cable. This will provide power to the display(s) as well, but the voltage to the second display may drop below 5V, thus making it less bright, or even behaving erratically. Also, keep in mind that the USB port on a PC may not be able to supply the current for two displays (1A or so). If you notice problems with the second display, first step is to check the voltage to be around 5V.
NOTE: Make sure you use a 5V regulated power source. Anything above 6V will fry the board, and probably the display too. Also, make sure your power source is adequate for the power consumption. Use at least a 2A (10W) power source.

Leonardo DiCaprio is making a new leap in the film world – to animated movies.
According to Variety, the celebrated actor will lend his pipes to an animated film for the first time ever — "The Guardians" — due in 2012 from Dreamworks Animation.
"The Guardians" will offer a new twist to several characters from folklore including the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Sandman, Santa and Jack Frost. Leo will voice the Jack Frost character, the paper reported.
The cast of characters will reportedly band together to fight evil in the form of a spirit named Pitch.
The film, which is based on the upcoming book series, "The Guardians of Childhood," by William Joyce, is expected to hit theaters on November 2, 2012.
In the run up to the animated film, Leo has a host of projects on the way including the Martin Scorsese directed "Shutter Island," which is due out in February 2010.

LONDON -- With the top defensive players increasingly getting the better of him often in recent years, Roger Federer would like to speed up the game of tennis.
Or at least the courts the matches are played on.
Federer lost to Novak Djokovic in the final of the season-ending ATP finals on Monday, and then praised the top-ranked Serb's ability to retrieve so many shots and keep the ball in play. That's a trait Djokovic shares with Federer's other two biggest rivals -- Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray -- and the Swiss star said attacking play doesn't always reap the benefits it deserves even on hard courts because they're often slower than they used to be.
"It's an easy fix. Just make quicker courts, then it's hard to defend," Federer said. "Attacking style is more important. It's only on this type of slow courts that you can defend the way we are all doing right now."
Monday's final at the O2 Arena had a familiar feel to it. Federer did most of the attacking, trying to dictate play with his forehand and aggressive shot making. But Djokovic, as he often does, kept finding ways to get the ball back over the net and was sharper on the key points.
Federer won the first nine points of the match and was up an early break in both sets, but Djokovic recovered to win 7-6 (6), 7-5.
Federer was the two-time defending champion in London and emphasized that he was happy with this court, calling it one of the faster indoor surfaces on the circuit. He said slower courts are also good for long rallies -- which are a big crowd pleaser -- but that having more variety in the surfaces would force players to learn to be more aggressive.
"What you don't want is that you hit 15 great shots and at the end, it ends up in an error," he said. "So I think sometimes quicker courts do help the cause. I think it would help from time to time to move to something a bit faster. That would help to learn, as well, for many different players, different playing styles, to realize that coming to the net is a good thing, it's not a bad thing."
Federer has won a record-equaling seven Wimbledon titles on grass, the quickest surface, but has only one French Open title on the slower clay, where Nadal has repeatedly thwarted him.
Djokovic and Murray also rely heavily on their great defensive abilities, which have helped set them apart from the rest of the pack.
Having more tournaments played on faster surfaces could make it easier for other players to challenge the sport's "Big Four," Federer said, adding that he wasn't sure tournament directors would necessarily buy into that.
"I think some variety would be nice, some really slow stuff and then some really fast stuff, instead of trying to make everything sort of the same," he said. "You sort of protect the top guys really by doing that because you have the best possible chance to have them in the semis at this point, I think. But should that be the goal? I'm not sure."
Djokovic said his strategy against Federer is usually to try and extend the rallies and hope for an opportunity.
"He's somebody that is very aggressive, that likes to finish points very quickly," Djokovic said. "But I managed to get a lot of shots back into the court, being passive, a couple meters behind the baseline. ... That was one of the goals tonight, to always try to get him into the longer rallies where I think I had the better chance."

"Attacking is more important", says Fed. I know when I used to play attacking tennis, I'd want to be rewarded for it. :)
Faster Courts would make Fed lose more i think. Think of the old saying, be carefully of what you wish for... you might get.
I agree in that Fed's backhand would be overwhelmed even more. They would just keep serving to it and hitting heavier and faster inside out forehands to it.
Fed oughtta work on getting more on his first serve and concentrating on adding more drive aspect to his backhand. No more interviews. Everything top secret.
I would love to have Fed's bh, he he he! I'm sure it's extremely effective at the club level, and might even be more potent than my fh. But essentially, Fed is saying "please cater to my perceived strengths, and take away the advantage that some of this younger guys worked hard to obtain (defensive skills)." I dunno, smells to me like Fed is hinting that he can't keep up anymore.
There is so much subtext to what Fed says, some intended and some subconsciously felt perhaps by him. He made alot of errors off both sides, but he doesn't generate frightening offense off the backhand wing. He probably is requesting tournaments cater to him, just as Nadal has called for more clay and natural courts to cater to him.
Tim did you know he wins 91% of his service games, third behind Izzie and Raonic, I think his serve is fine and quicker court would help it. He has been working on being more aggressive with placement of both wings, and I personally think his BH is sweet, one cannot have all the weapons. ATP slowed up all the courts over the last 2 decades and look at which players benifited, time to have fast, medium , and slow courts so all styles can develop.
Well, I guess I am thinking Fed serve against the great Djokovic return and the steady Murray return. Then there's Fed's backhand against the Djoko and Nadal forehands. Even Murray is starting to peck at the backhand.
It's gonna cost alot to construct all these courts. Should come out of Fed's wallet. lol
Naw, they are already in place. Next time they resurface Aussie Open little less grip, Wimbledon can be put back to old grass height, indoor carpet can be what ever they want. Keep the clay courts the same. It really is amazing how much a slight change in court speed and balls can change these guys games, remember French when no rain and dry and Soderling was rolling everyone, courts were fast and all the clay court boys were begging them to water them more.
Oh, and we need to understand that Murray, Nadal, and Joko are three of the best returners and players of all-time(Murray not quite yet). Fed just needs to do what he does and look at his trophy case and realize he is the sickest, silkiest player ever, we all fall off some as we get older.
In 2001, Wimbledon tore out all its courts and planted a new variety of groundcover. The new grass was 100% perennial rye; the old courts had been a mix of 70% rye and 30% creeping red fescue. The new lawn was more durable, and allowed Wimbledon's groundsmen to keep the soil underneath drier and firmer. A firmer surface causes the ball to bounce higher. A high bounce is anathema to the serve-and-volley player, who relies on approach shots skidding low through the court. What's more, rye, unlike fescue, grows in tufts that stand straight up; these tufts slow a tennis ball down as it lands.

Well, I still think Fed can tweak that backhand to have more drive. He has nothing to lose, since he has all the records and trophies already. Alot of his fans are tired of seeing him lose points on that side. Do it for himself, the fans, and the next few years. ;)
Yeah, would be interesting to see, but most pros are creatures of habit and usually don't like to overhaul their game, unless your Andy Roddick. I actually thought Roger's BH looked great at times in London, but as a fellow one hander it's just a matter of time that those high BH's wear you down and his chip returns don't really help.

As most predicted its to be Glen Mazzara who will be picking up the baton dropped recently by Frank Darabont as leading showrunner on the second season of 'The Walking Dead'. The new AMC season had lost its original creator earlier this week and so it made sense that the 'number two' and current head writer Mazzara would take over amidst the shocking revelation. Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Michael Rooker ('Slither'), Norman Reedus, Jeffrey DeMunn, Laurie Holden ('Silent Hill'), Steven Yeun and Sarah Wayne Callies ('Prison Break') all star once again. Whether or not Darabont will still be involved in the show in some capacity is yet to be seen.
"'The Walking Dead' follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, who travel in search of a safe and secure home. The comic goes on to explore the challenges of life in a world overrun by zombies who take a toll on the survivors, and sometimes the interpersonal conflicts present a greater danger to their continuing survival than the zombies that roam the country. Over time, the characters are changed by the constant exposure to death and some grow willing to do anything to survive."
The new season of 'The Walking Dead' will premiere in the US on 16 October.Glen Mazzara Takes On 'The Walking Dead'

Think Fast: How to Help Someone Who is Choking
This week, WIS-TV interviewed Dr. Don Moore of Lexington Medical Center's Urgent Care in Irmo about how to help someone who is choking. The segment is below. The information is very valuable in a situation where you have to think fast.
Here are some notes from the doctor:
~When someone is choking, they will not be able to talk.
~Ask the person to try to cough.
~If the person cannot cough, try an abdominal thrust. From behind, put a clenched first above the person's belly button and place your other hand over it. Pull up as if you were trying to lift the person off the ground, which will create a pressure wave to hopefully expel the object.
~If that doesn't work, try back blows. With the base of your hand, hit the person on the back between the shoulder blades.
~Alternate between abdominal thrusts and back blows until the object is out.
~If the person goes unconscious, call 911 and start CPR.
~Anyone who has had a choking episode should see a physician to make sure they're OK.
~If you're alone, try performing an abdominal thrust by yourself with the help of a chair or table.
~If you have a baby who is choking, tip the child over and perform softer back blows.

Two Laurier professors receive prestigious Early Researcher Awards
WATERLOO Two professors in Wilfrid Laurier University's Faculty of Science have been awarded prestigious Early Researcher Awards from Ontario's Ministry of Research and Innovation.
Psychologist Nancy Kocovski and chemist Vladimir Kitaev have each been awarded $100,000 over a five-year term to facilitate their innovative research. Each professor will also receive a $50,000 matching award from Laurier.
The title of Kocovski's research is "Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Treatments for Social Anxiety: Mechanisms of Action."
Social anxiety, Kocovski says, is experienced by people who are concerned about being judged by others. It goes well beyond shyness or fear of using the telephone. At extreme levels, it is diagnosed as social anxiety disorder. It can be extremely debilitating.
"My recent research has focused on the development and validation of mindfulness- and acceptance-based group therapy for social anxiety," Kocovski says.
"It's about being in the present moment and being willing to experience your anxiety in order to live your life."
Another method of treating social anxiety disorder is cognitive behaviour therapy, "which is about changing your thoughts." Kocovski is currently running a study comparing the two treatments.
"The aim of the proposed research is to identify how mindfulness approaches to treatment work in reducing levels of social anxiety, based on data from patients currently undergoing treatment, and also in laboratory studies with students and community volunteers," she says.
The title of Kitaev's research project is "Nanostructured Materials for Advanced Optical Applications via Synthetic Control and Self-Assembly of Nanoscale Building Blocks."
Nanoparticles are extremely small a nanometre is one billionth of a metre.
Kitaev and his students have produced several well-defined nanoshapes including cubic, decahedral (10-sided) and pentagonal rod silver particles. The importance of this is that "metals at nanoscale, with a uniform shape, have well-defined optical properties."
To visualize what this means, think of an opal. Gemstone opals contain spheres of silica, about 150 to 300 nanometres in diameter, organized in a tightly packed hexagonal or cubic lattice. These ordered spheres of silica produce the sparkling colours that make gemstone opals so beautiful. They do so by interfering and diffracting the light that passes through the opal's ordered microstructure.
Kitaev and his students aim to create something similar using their silver nanoparticles.
To demonstrate, he produces a vial half-filled with aqueous solution containing nanoscale particles of silver. If you look at direct sunlight through the vial, the liquid is reddish. If you look at reflected light through the vial, the light is greenish. You can control the colour by controlling the conditions of synthesis to produce all the colours of the rainbow. It will change colour in the presence of targeted chemicals.
These optical properties Kitaev has coined the term "nanorainbows" have great potential. Nanoscale metals could be used in optical sensors to, for example, "detect proteins, DNA or whatever you want by appropriate nanoparticle modifications."
Kitaev's research has been funded by a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Discovery Grant. In his case, discovering nanorainbows really was a discovery: "We left the solution on the windowsill and it became bicoloured. Then we had to find out why. After one year of research we were the first to report on silver decahedra. We became greatly fascinated by and involved in the beauty and science of metal nanoparticles.
"With this ERA funding, producing ordered materials for use in sensors and optical application becomes possible."

Thinly slice the courgettes using a sharp knife, mandolin or slicing blade on a food processor. Put in a bowl with the shallots and sprinkle over the salt. Cover with ice-cold water, stir to dissolve the salt and leave for 1 hr. Drain the courgettes thoroughly and pat dry using kitchen paper or tea towels. If they stay too wet, the water will dilute the pickling solution.
Meanwhile, put the pickling ingredients into a pan and bring to a simmer. Bubble for 3 mins, making sure the sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool until warm but not hot. Add the courgettes and stir.
Scoop the mixture into 2 x 500ml sterilised jars (see below to find out how to sterilise a jar). Seal and leave for a few days in the fridge. Kept chilled, these will keep for a couple of months.
Recipe Tip
How to sterilise your jarsWash them in hot, soapy water, then dry in an oven heated to 170C/150C fan/gas 3 for at least 10 minutes. Always ladle pickles, jams and chutneys into jars while the jars are still warm.

The "flat white" is going mainstream.
Starbucks introduced Tuesday its own version of the flat white, a specialty coffee drink popular in Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K, but until now relatively unknown in the U.S.
"This coffee connoisseur's choice combines ristretto shots made with Starbucks signature Espresso Roast and freshly steamed whole milk with microfoam, expertly handcrafted for a genuine Flat White experience," Starbucks explains on its website.
It may be hard for some to distinguish between a cappuccino and flat white.
"It's about two ounces of espresso and covered in four ounces of milk, with less than a centimeter of foam," said Chromatic Coffee co-founder Otessa Crandell in California's Bay Area. Crandell's San Jose-based shop has until now been one of the few in town to serve a flat white.
Crandell said the hard-to-make drink is similar to a cappuccino or could be considered akin to a condensed latte.
"Incredibly quick in preparation and it also is really delicate so if you stretch it [the milk] even a little bit too much, essentially you have too much foam," Crandell said.
"You get more of the sweetness from the lactose in the milk, and the sweetness in the espresso really shines through as well," said Chromatic Coffee co-founder Hiver van Geenhoven.
The flat white has been on Chromatic's menu for more than a year, but few customers have had it.
"If Starbucks is going to launch a flat white, what that means for us is that we're going to get even more customers that are excited to taste something they tried, and they want to taste it elevated even more," Crandell said.

New to SCCA partnership, but certainly not new to motorsport or our club programs, APEX was formed by two racers and the thought that has launched a thousand innovations: "there's got to be a better way."
Co-founders Austin Gurley and Andrew Rains competed in FSAE events together while in college and identified the need for simpler way to show the drivers how their current on-track/course performance stacks up against their potential performance. What they developed is a standalone battery-powered unit that connects to Apple devices via Bluetooth and can record data showing exactly where drivers are losing seconds and not driving the car at it's potential.
Rains, a former SCCA road racer and autocrosser, used his Pirelli World Challenge racing effort as the test bed for the product. Andrew now works as a professional driver coach, using APEX to help all of his clients improve on the track. Their system has spread throughout the industry, as Skip Barber Racing School now uses the APEX device in their curriculum.
Perfect for Road Racing, Autocross, and Track Days, APEX has something for every racer. Select the track you're driving that day from the extensive list in the APEX app and let the machine learn your car's potential for performance. For autocross courses, bring the unit with you on your course walk, set the Start/Finish points in the app, and the unit does the rest (see how HERE). Data can be reviewed immediately and you can share with your friends if you're feeling extra proud!
Refer a friend to SCCA membership and you can be entered to win an awesome prize like an APEX Pro unit! All renewing members will receive a coupon for a free baseplate with purchase of a unit. Lose those last few seconds just in time for championship season!

Russian 'influencer' twins under fire for prank on homeless man
Stunning Russian "influencer" twins are under fire for their cruel treatment of a homeless man.
The duo ordered sushi for the wheelchair-bound man as part of a scheme to win an iPhone.
Footage showing Adelya and Alina Fatkheev, 24, feeding Yuri Zasorin has gone viral in Russia — and people aren't happy. He is a disabled former construction worker.
The video shows the pair sauntering up to the man. Feigning sympathy, they say to each other: "Poor thing, he probably hasn't eaten for a long time."
Next, they appear to be calling a restaurant for takeout. Then, the delivery man shows up.
"Everyone knows that there are good people who can help," Zasorin said at the end of the video called We Care, not realizing he was the victim of a prank.
The Fatkheevs are frequent fliers on Instagram, flaunting their luxurious lifestyle, jetting to and fro to exotic locales and lounging on private yachts.
The twins' video gambit was staged as an entry for the We Care competition. Prizes include an iPhone XR, a PlayStation 4, an Apple Watch Series 4, and other high-priced goodies.
There was no intention of helping the homeless man.
"These twins are so divorced from real life that they do not even understand how the poor can be helped," one critic of the twins said.
Another commented: "These hens don't give a damn about this homeless man, they wanted to get an iPhone, not help a person."
In 2017 the sisters claimed they were looking for a "disgustingly rich" husband for them to share, adding suggestively that they "do everything together."

Hi everyone, i have 2 questions that i need help with.
I'm currently programming a fruit machine, i have the spin button working and randomly going through fruits and matching the fruits up correctly, I can insert money so it allows users to play and i get credit the money to the machine. I'm currently trying to work on getting the images of the fruits to spin like bandit reel and i need to implement hold buttons.
My questions are:
1) How do i get the pictures to do an animation spin like a reel? At the moment it just runs through the fruits and then stops and i'd like it to spin like a fruit machine reel and then stop, will i need to do some animation?
2) How do i get hold buttons to work? There will be 3 hold buttons and when the user clicks the hold button it will stop that picture from spinning. I've assigned a timer to each reel e.g. timer1, timer2, timer3 i've assigned it so when the hold button is clicked then the appropriate timer will stop e.g. timer1.stop(); but it will only stop the reel whilst it's spinning.
Hope i've not created to much confusion.
Thank you for your help and reading!
