I'm addicted to that one thing
that everything that true thing
every moment I'm looking for another fix
wandering from here to there
trying to get just one more hit
you see I'm addicted to humanity
it's just this power that overwhelms
this power that draws me in
I don't know what it is
I can't escape
humanity has me addicted
every time I kiss a girl
talk to a friend
hear the story of a stranger
I get just that much more addicted
and it's just that much harder to break myself away
when a 75-year-old black man
tells me how he earned a vicious scar on his face
from a near-lynching in 1952
just outside Birmingham, Alabama
I get more addicted
his story
that human story
draws me in
when a mother of two
tells me what it was like
to explain her boys
that daddy is never coming home again
because semi-trucks don't leave survivors
I get more addicted
her story
that human story
draws me in
when an elderly Jewish matriarch
tells me what was like
to grow up in a Polish concentration camp
to see her family get shot
then rolls up her sleeve to reveal a tattoo of
carved in the flesh
of her forearm
her story draws me
in every gesture
every feature
every wrinkle crease earned through survival
draws me in
like a moth to a flame,
like a comet to a star
I tried once
I tried to withdraw once
ever gone through human withdrawal?
I left the world for a day
and it almost killed me
I couldn't function
I couldn't act
I couldn't breathe
I couldn't walk
I couldn't talk
do you know what it's like
for a poet who cannot talk?
a poet who cannot talk
who cannot write
is dead
I had to come back
my addiction keeps me alive
do you know how easy is to get this stuff?
they don't even sell it
they give it away
I can't round a corner without getting another hit
and it's killing me
if I could break his addiction
I could live forever
but what would my life be like without my humanity?
they say we're all made to die, does that mean we're all addicted?
are you?
are you?
are you?
I am
I my love my addiction
I want to experience the stories of everyone
because what differs us is just time and space
I want to know what other possibilities my soul had
before it chose this time
this space
this body to occupy
I want to know
I want more and more
I want to do the lines of every human face
I want to walk the features
memorize the names
live the stories that of every human who ever lived and I still want more
I want to feast with Gilgamesh
I want to besiege Troy
I want to drink with Alexander
I want to walk the halls of Camelot
I want to meditate with Buddha
I want to pray with Mohammed
I want to burn with Joan of Arc
I want to ride with Crazy Horse
I want to stand in the streets of Hiroshima with 140,000 other human beings
and feel the skies turn instantly
into the wrath of God
and want to sacrifice myself on Calvary
and become your Messiah
because God
if there is one
was just the first addict
I love being addicted
even if it's going to kill me
I ask for more
I beg for more
I would sell my soul for more
but what makes this addiction my curse
is that I'm just one man
and I don't have much time

Things are getting crazy again between the Israelis and the Palestinians, which means that CNN has dispatched Anderson Cooper to Gaza, the epicenter of the conflict, where Israel has been dropping bombs like Cee Lo Green does after a breakfast buffet.
After a night of sustained Israeli strikes by air and sea and a morning of rocket attacks on Israel, the Health Ministry here said on Monday that the Palestinian death toll in six days of conflict had risen to 91 with 700 wounded, including 200 children, as the assault ground on unrelentingly despite efforts toward a cease-fire.
The casualties — 19 people reported killed since midnight local time — included Palestinians killed in strikes by warplanes and a drone attack on two men on a motorcycle. Another drone attack killed the driver of a taxi hired by journalists and displaying "Press" signs, although it was not clear which journalists hired it, Palestinian officials said. On Sunday, Israeli forces attacked two buildings housing local broadcasters and production companies used by foreign outlets, but Israeli officials denied targeting journalists.
An Israeli bomb pummeled a home deep into the ground here on Sunday, killing 11 people, including nine in three generations of a single family, in the deadliest single strike in six days of cross-border conflict. Members of the family were buried Monday in a rite that turned into a gesture of defiance and became a rally supporting Gaza's militant Hamas rulers.
With that said, things got a little hairy for Anderson Cooper on CNN last night when a bomb of some sort detonated seemingly right over his shoulder. Be safe out there, Silver Fox!

MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Australia selectors want Ricky Ponting to be part of the back-to-back Ashes series in 2013, coach Mickey Arthur has said, but the third and final test against South Africa in Perth may be his last chance to reverse a run of wretched form.
Ponting scored a duck, four and 16 in three innings against the Proteas, sparking renewed calls for the ageing former captain to give up his place for a more youthful successor.
Ponting told Australian television earlier this week that he expected to have a "conversation" with selectors about his playing career in the near future, but Arthur said the 37-year-old already enjoyed their full backing.
"We back Ricky, we unanimously back Ricky Ponting to get us some runs," Arthur, who is on Australia's selection panel along with captain Michael Clarke, told reporters.
"By his own admission, Perth is a big test for him and that's by his own admission.
"He'll leave no stone unturned in his preparation going into Perth and I'm backing him for a big score in Perth, no doubt about that.
"If Ricky's scoring runs we certainly want Ricky Ponting around for six months, certainly the next six months. We want Ricky Ponting to go to the Ashes.
"Like any batsman, you've got to keep scoring runs, and that's by his own admission."
Ponting remains the only specialist batsman in Australia's side to have not made a half-century in the series, which is tied 0-0 after drawn tests in Brisbane and Adelaide.
While Ponting will be fighting to keep his place in the side, all-rounder Shane Watson can expect to slot back in at Perth after missing the first two tests with a calf strain.
Rob Quiney, who replaced Watson at number three in the batting order for the two tests, has been dropped from Australia's 14-man squad for Perth.
Watson would be fit enough to bowl as well as bat at Perth, Arthur said, in a boost for the Australians, who have lost fast bowler James Pattinson to a rib injury for the next four tests.
There are question marks over pacemen Ben Hilfenhaus and Peter Siddle as to whether they can recover in time for the Perth test starting on Friday, having bowled long spells in baking heat at Adelaide Oval without the support of Pattinson.
Australia have named four pace bowlers as back-up, including Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, who both have test experience, and uncapped quicks Josh Hazlewood and John Hastings.
"I can't see them bowling any balls at training," South African Arthur said of Hilfenhaus and Siddle.
"We've got to see how they pull up, see how they come up in Perth. We're in a position where we could go with a totally different attack into Perth."

India will come out fighting, warns Swann
Graeme Swann has urged caution ahead of England's final Test against India, warning that the hosts will be desperate for a victory in Nagpur that would tie the series.
Back-to-back wins in Mumbai and Kolkata have put England on the verge of their first series victory in India since 1984-85 and, while Swann expects to play a prominent role alongside Monty Panesar on another spin-friendly pitch, he recognises the danger of playing a team looking to salvage their eight-year unbeaten run at home.
"It is tough, but sometimes it's a good position to be in," Swann said of India's situation. "If there's only one possible result you can get, you can go all out fighting. The last Test of a series, if you know the result hangs on it, is normally a very exciting one."
India have rung the changes ahead of the final Test, which starts on Thursday as they look for a response from their under-fire squad. Batsman Yuvraj Singh and seamer Zaheer Khan have been dropped, while spinner Harbhajan Singh misses out despite playing no role in the defeat in Kolkata.
"I'm sure India will come out fighting because they have to win the game," Swann said. "Equally so, I'm sure we'll approach the game thinking attack is our best form of defence. I think that's what has proved crucial in the last couple of games."
Swann and a number of his England colleagues have been in a similar position before, winning the final Test in Sydney in 2011 to claim a 3-1 Ashes victory in Australia, England's first triumph Down Under in almost a quarter of a century.
"Back in Australia, we didn't get carried away before that Sydney game," Swann said. "We spoke of how important it was to keep our feet on the ground. That's all we're doing here. We're not taking anything for granted, we don't sit down and pat ourselves on the back and say 'Look how well we have played the last two games'. That's a very dangerous place to get in.
"On Thursday morning we'll assess the pitch, play accordingly and hope to win this game, because we obviously want to get home for Christmas having won this series 3-1. Whatever the pitch is we've got to try and win the game, that's all we ever try and do."

Wandering in embedded land: part 2, Arduino turned remote control
Now with the Midea AC remote control being mostly deciphered,
the next step is to emulate the remote, with an arduino since it's
the system I use for that embedded greenhouse control. While waiting
for my mail ordered IR LED (I didn't want to solder off one from my
existing AC controllers), I started doing a bit of code and looking
at the integration problems.
The hardware side
One of the challenge is that the Arduino system is already heavy
packed, basically I use all the digital Input/Output except 5 (and 0 and
1 which are hooked to the serial support), and 2 of the 6 analog inputs,
as the card already drives 2 SHT1x temp/humidity sensors, 2 light sensors,
an home made 8 way relay board, and a small LCD display, there isn't much
room left physically or in memory for more wires or code ! Fortunately
driving a LED requires minimal resources, the schematic is trivial:
I actually used a 220 Ohms resistance since I didn't had a 100 Ohms one,
the only effect is how far the signal may be received, really not a problem
in my case. Also I initially hooked it on pin 5 which shouldn't had been
a problem, and that's the free slot I have available on the Arduino
The software side
My thinking was: well I just need to recreate the same set of light
patterns to emulate the remote control and that's done, sounds fairly simple
and I started coding royines which would switch the led on or off for
1T, 3T and 4T durations. Thus the core of the code was like:
void emit_midea_start(void) {
void emit_midea_end(void) {
void emit_midea_byte(byte b) {
int i;
byte cur = b;
for (i = 0;i < 8;i++) {
if (cur & 1)
cur >>= 1;
cur = ~b;
for (i = 0;i < 8;i++) {
if (cur & 1)
cur >>= 1;
where ir_up() and ir_down() were respectively activating or deactivating
the pin 5 set as OUTPUT for the given duration defined as macros.
Playing with 2 arduinos simultaneously
Of course to test my code the simplest was to set up the new module on
another arduino positioned in front of the Arduino with the IR receptor
and running the same code as used for decoding the protocol.
The nice thing is that you can hook up the arduinos on 2 different USB
cables connected to the same machine, they will report as ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1
and once you have looked at the serial output you can find which is which.
The only cumbersome part is having to select the serial port to the other one
when you want to switch box either to monitor the output or to upload a new
ersion of the code, so far things are rather easy.
Except it just didn't worked !!!
Not the arduino, I actually replaced the IR LED by a normal one from
time to time to verify it was firing for a fraction of a second when
emitting the sequence, no the problem was that the IR receiver was detecting
transitions but none of the expected duration, or order, nothing I could
really consider a mapping of what my code was sending. So I tweaked
the emitting code over and over rewriting the timing routines in 3
different ways, trying to disable interrupts, etc... Nothing worked!
Clearly there was something I hadn't understood ... and I started
searching on google and reading, first about timing issues on the Arduino
but things ought to be correct there, and then on existing remote control
code for Arduino and others. Then I hit
Ken Shirriff's blog on his IR library for the Arduino and realized
that the IR LED and the IR Receiver don't operate at the same level. The
LED really can just be switched on or off, but the IR Receiver is calibrated
for a given frequency (38 KHz in this case) and will not report if it
gets the IR light, but report if it gets the 38 KHz pulse carried by
the IR light. In a nutshell the IR receiver was decoding my analogic 0's
but didn't for the 1's because it was failing to catch a 38 KHz pulse,
I was switching the IR led permanently on and that was not recognized as
a 1 and generating erroneous transitions.
Emitting the 38KHz pulse
Ken Shirriff has another great article titled
Secrets of Arduino PWM explaining the details used to generate a pulse automatically
on *selected* Arduino digital output ans explains the details used to set this
up. This is rather complex and nicely encapsulated in his infrared library
code, but I would suggest to have a look if you're starting advanced
developments on the Arduino.
The simplest is then to use Ken's
IRremote library
by first installing it into the installed arduino environment:
- create a new directory /usr/share/arduino/libraries/IRremote (as root)
- copy IRremote.cpp IRremote.hIRremote.h IRremoteInt.h there
and then use it in the midea_ir.ino program:
#include <IRremote.h>
IRsend irsend;
int IRpin = 3;
This includes the library in the resulting program, define an IRsend
object that we will use to drive the IR led. One thing to note is that
by default the IRremote library drives only the digital pin 3, you can
modify it to change to a couple of other pins, but it is not possible to
drive the PWM for digital pin 5 which is the one not used currently on
my greenhouse Arduino.
Then the idea is to just replace the ir_down() and ir_up() in the code
with the equivalent low level entry points driving the LED in the IRsend
object, first by using irsend.enableIROut(38) to enable the pulse at
38 KHz on the default pin (Digital 3) and then use irsend.mark(usec)
for the equivalent ir_down() and irsend.space(usec) for the ir_up():
void emit_midea_start(void) {
void emit_midea_end(void) {
void emit_midea_byte(byte b) {
int i;
byte cur = b;
byte mask = 0x80;
for (i = 0;i < 8;i++) {
if (cur & mask)
mask >> 1;
Checking with a normal led allowed to spot a brief light when emitting
the frame so it was basically looking okay...
And this worked, placing the emitting arduino in front of the receiving
the IRanalyzer started to decode the frames, as with the real remote control,
things were looking good again !
But failed the real test ... when put in from of the AC the hardware didn't
react, some improvement is still needed.
Check your timings, theory vs. practice
I suspected some timing issue, not with the 38KHz pulse as the code from
Ken was working fine for an array of devices, but rather how my code was
emitting, another precious hint was found in the blog about the library:
IR sensors typically cause the mark to be measured as longer than expected and the space to be shorter than expected. The code extends marks by 100us to account for this (the value MARK_EXCESS). You may need to tweak the expected values or tolerances in this case.
remember that the receptor does some logic on the input to detect the
pulse at 38 KHz, that means that while a logic 0 can be detected relatively
quickly, it will take at least a few beats before the sync to the pulse is
recognized and the receiver switch its output to a logic 1. In a nutshell
a 1 T low duration takes less time to recognize than an 1 T high duration.
I was also afraid that the overall time to send a full frame would drift
over the fixed limit needed to transmit it.
So I tweaked the emitting code to count the actual overall duration of
the frames, and aslo added to the receiver decoding code the display of the
duration of the first 10 durations between transitions. I then reran the
receiver looking at the same input from the real remote control and the
arduino emulation, and found that in average:
- the emulated 8T down was 200us too long
- the emulated 8T up was 100us too short
- the emulated 1T down at the beginning of a bit was 100us too long
- the emulated 1T up at the end of logical 0 was 80us too short
- the emulated 3T up at the end of logical 1 was 50us too short
After tweaking the duration accordingly in the emitter code, I got
my first successful emulated command to the AC, properly switching it off,
I then finished the code to provide the weird temperature conversions
front end routines and then glue that as a test application looping over
a minute:
- switching to cooling to 23C for 15s
- switching to heating to 26C for 15s
- switching the AC off for 30s
The midea_ir_v1.ino code
is available for download, analysis and reuse. I would suggest to not
let this run for long in fron of an AC as the very frequent change of mode
may not be good for the hardware (nor for the electricity bill !).
Generating the 38KHz pulse in software
While the PWM generation has a number of advantages, especially w.r.t.
regularity of the pattern and no risk of drift due for example to delays
handling interrupts, in my case it has the serious drawback of forcing use
of a given pin (3 by default, or 9 if switching to a different timer in the
IRremote code), and those are not available, unless getting the soldering
iron and changing some of the existing routing in my add-on board. So
the next step is to also implement the 38KHz pulse in software. First
this should only affect the up phase, the down phase consist of no emission
and hence implemented by a simple:
void send_space(int us) {
digitalWrite(IRpin, LOW);
The up part should divised into HIGH for most of the duration, followed
by a small LOW indicating the pulse. 38 KHz means a 26.316 microseconds
period. Since the delayMicroseconds() of the arduino indicates it can be
reliable only for more than 3 microseconds, it seems reasonable to use
a 22us HIGH/ 4us LOW split, and expect the remaining computation to fill
the sub-microsecond of the period, that ought to be accurate enough. One
of the point of the code below is to try to avoid excessive drift in two
- by doing the accounting over the total lenght for the up period,
not trying to just stack 21 periods
- by running a busy loop when the delay left is minimal rather than
call delayMicroseconds() for a too small amount (not sure it's effective
micros() value seems periodically updated by an timer interrupt handler
doesn't look like the chip provides a fine grained counter).
The resulting code doesn't look very nice:
void send_mark(int us) {
unsigned long e, t = micros();
e = t + us;
while (t < e) {
digitalWrite(IRpin, HIGH);
if (t - e < 4) {
while ((t = micros()) < e);
digitalWrite(IRpin, LOW);
if (t - e < 22) {
digitalWrite(IRpin, LOW);
digitalWrite(IRpin, LOW);
t = micros();
if (t - e < 4) {
while ((t = micros()) < e);
t = micros();
But to my surprize once I replaced all the irsend.mark() and irsend.space()
by equivalent calls to send_mark() and send_space(), the IRanalyzer running on
the second arduino properly understood the sequence, proving that the IR
receiver properly picked the signal, yay !
Of course that didn't worked out the first time on the real hardware,
after a bit of analysis of the resulting timings exposed by IRanalyzer
I noticed the mark at the beginning of bits were all nearly 100us too long,
I switched the generation from 450us to 350us, and bingo, that worked with the
real aircon !
the midea_ir_v2.ino resulting module
is very specific code, but it is tiny, less than 200
lines, and he hardware side is also really minimal, a single resistor and
the IR led.
The code is now plugged and working, but v2 just could not work in the
real environment with all the other sensors and communication going on.
I suspect that the amount of foreign interrupts are breaking the 38KHz
pulse generation, switching back to the PWM generated pulse using the
IRremote library works in a very reliable way. So I had to unsolder pin 3
and reaffect it to the IR led, but that was a small price to pay in
comparison of trying to debug the timing issues in situ !
The next step in the embedded work will be to replace the aging NSLU2
driving the arduino by a shiny new Raspberry Pi !
This entry will be kept at http://veillard.com/embedded/midea.html.

Lady Dragons earn 1st win on the road in Culver
CULVER — It wasn't always pretty, but the Lady Dragons got their first win Wednesday.
Argos jumped out to an 11-0 lead over the first four innings and held off a tenacious Culver Community squad to break into the win column, 20-6, on the road in Culver.
"This is the first game that I've had all of my players available to play. The first game I didn't have four of my players, so this was more of a team effort," said Argos softball coach Alyssa Thayer.
"There were a couple little things that I wasn't too impressed with, but overall I think we did okay for our second game. It showed me that we can hit and we can field, and we can do those things that we've been practicing."
Up 11-0 headed into the bottom of the fifth, the Dragons had a chance to put the game away in five, but the Cavaliers rallied with six runs to extend the game to a full seven-inning outing.
After pitcher Megan Brady helped her own cause leading off the inning with a single into shallow center, Emily Shidler drew a walk from Argos pitcher Allison Flower, and Maddy Strycker grounded back to Flower, who flipped a fielder's choice ball over to third to get Brady. Janele VanDePutte grounded back to Flower on the next at-bat, but a catching error at third loaded the bases to set the table for Kayla Shaffer — a first-year player and former Culver track standout filling in at short for senior Ali Overmyer Wednesday — and Shaffer delivered a two-run line shot into right to put Culver on the scoreboard, down 11-2.
Sophomore reserve Haley Klimaszewski kept the rally going with an RBI single into shallow right to score VanDePutte, and Angela Lewellen drove in Shaffer on a groundout to short, cutting the Cavs' deficit to 11-4 and giving the home team new life.
Argos responded with a pair of runs on a two-strike, two-run liner into right by Missy Golden in the sophomore's first at-bat of the night in the top of the sixth, but the Culver bats stayed hot as they scratched out another two runs on a trio of Argos errors in the bottom of the inning to bring the score to 13-6.
"They put the bat on the ball, and once we started doing that, good things happened," said Culver head coach Gene Baker. "They make a couple mistakes, we get a couple good hits, and we can start moving around the bases. A lot of girls that don't give up."
It was too little, too late, however, and the Dragons saved their best for last with a seven-run seventh taking advantage of four Culver errors and four hits, including two by their reserves.
Jamie Ewing doubled in Courtney DeMont, Gabby Bennett singled in Jenny Fishburn with the bags packed after Ewing was walked home, Bennett scored on a passed ball in Charlie Horn's last at-bat, and Horn drove in Raelynn LaFrance with a looper into shallow center, bringing the margin to its final when Michelle Elam was left stranded after reaching for Culver on a throwing error in the bottom of the seventh.
All total, the Dragons put up 13 hits in the win and got solid production from throughout the order, led by Horn's 3-of-6, four-RBI performance as well as LaFrance's 2-of-4 finish with four runs — the junior Argos catcher also drew a pair of walks to reach base in 5-of-6 at-bats Wednesday — and Flower's 2-of-6 finish with three runs scored.
Flower scored the visitors' first run of the night after reaching on an infield error in the top of the first to put the pressure on Culver early, and she earned the pitching win with six strikeouts while giving up three walks and four hits going the distance inside the circle. The senior right-hander had a no-hitter going through four innings, but Brady ended the bid with her lead-off single the second time through the Culver order in the fifth.
The Dragons also saw some good things from their reserves, who Thayer began subbing in early after her team's initial 11-0 start.
"I'm trying to use some of the girls that haven't played a whole lot and get them in the game and let them get that experience," said Thayer. "I'm trying to get everybody to play. This is the first game that I've actually been able to do that, and I think it got into some of their heads a little bit, but overall I think we did okay."
Argos moves to an even 1-1 with its first win on the heels of a season-opening loss at South Bend Clay last Thursday. The team now begins a two-game homestand with a game tonight against LaVille at 5 p.m. EST and another Saturday versus visiting Triton at 11 a.m.
"The girls have experience and they know what they're doing now," said Thayer. "Defensively, we're starting to figure things out compared to what we've done in the past few years. I think with that overall experience, that's big for Argos, and I think they can do a lot of things this year."
Culver opens at 0-1 with the loss, meanwhile, and will have a five-day layover before beginning a hectic four-game stretch next week beginning with a home game against South Central Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. EST and ending with another home contest versus West Central Saturday at 10 a.m.
It wasn't the result Baker and his players were looking for, but the rally late by the Cavs made it one to grow on.
"With the weather we've only been out maybe three or four times, and you can't do a lot inside," Baker said. "They started getting into it, they started making better plays, and a lot of our girls are playing positions for the first time.

The first way to win your magical elf-made free prizes is 'skill' with "click on the monkey/smiley/fucking thing" banners. I hate to break it to you, seat-warmer, but your ability to move a mouse and click it is NOT the unique skill, honed by years of hard work, that is about to start paying off for you. There are no olympic games in mouse mastery, no bling or ho's for cursor movers, and no fabulous cash prizes for outwitting a looping two second animation. Hitting the moving monkey is like successfully placing a CD in a toaster - quite easy to do and you're going to look stupid for expecting a reward.
The second way is to be as lucky as me - I've been the 1,000,000th visitor to seventeen sites just today, some of them several times in a row. I could buy a lotto ticket, wrap it around some dice thrown into a roulette wheel and win all three. I'm less likely than a 50 cent shout out to Vanilla Ice. With my amazing anti-statistical-likelihood aura it's only a matter of time before I start levitating or spontaneously burst into flames, and it's this knowledge that every second could be my last which prevents me from claiming the warehouse of wonderful gifts with my name on it. It's only fair I leave them to somebody who'll live longer, like the next person to be 1,000,000th visitor. Probably you, so you're welcome.
One thing all these ads have in common is legalese fine print which, like mobile-phone cancer and minesweepers wrist, is a disease of modern society. The usual litigious strategy of burying phrases like "We're going to take everything you own at ten million per cent interest then bend you over without lubrication" inside ten page hyper-syllabic documents doesn't work in banner ads, which is why in some the entire second half is dedicated to disclaiming the first half, while others have realized that a simple "*" means you can say anything you want. For those of you too busy claiming your wonderful unicorn-delivered internet pots of leprechaun gold, here's a handy translation of every prize-winning banner ever:
"You have won a FREE* thing!
(*Fuck you, moron.)"

Date: March 1, 2006
To: Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Description: OFAC-Economic Sanctions Enforcement Procedures for Banking Institutions
On January 12, 2006, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) published in the Federal Register, "Economic Sanctions Enforcement Procedures for Banking Institutions," along with a request for comments. OFAC will follow the published procedures when deciding whether to impose enforcement actions against banking institutions for noncompliance with its regulations. In conjunction with issuing this interim final rule, OFAC has withdrawn the January 29, 2003, proposed rule to the extent it applied to banking institutions.
The new enforcement procedures will evaluate a banking institution's apparent OFAC-related violation in the context of the institution's overall OFAC compliance program and specific OFAC compliance record. OFAC will not conduct such a review if no apparent violation exists within a banking institution. Factors that OFAC will review when an apparent violation exists include:
The interim final rule for enforcement cases involving banking institutions became effective on February 13. Written comments will be received through close of business, March 13.
You may direct questions to your supervisory office or to the Compliance Policy Department at (202) 649-5740.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Kyle Breitmeyer's goal in the 74th minute propelled the Liberty Flames past the UNC Asheville Bulldogs, 1-0, in a Big South men's soccer match, Saturday afternoon at Greenwood Field.
In a well-played defensive contest, Breitmeyer beat Bulldogs goalkeeper Dan Jackson with a tap in off a free kick by Tim Harbison at 73:38. The goal was the senior's second of the year and gave the Flames a 1-0 advantage.
It was all Liberty need, as the Flames continue their solid defensive play. Liberty did not allow a Bulldog shot over the final 16 minutes and controlled play, en route to the victory.
Liberty moves to 1-2 in Big South play and 4-3 overall. The Flames have posted a shutout in each of their four victories this season. Asheville, playing their first conference game, drops to 0-1 in Big South action and 3-5 overall.
The visiting Flames held the advantage in shots in the first half, outshooting the Bulldogs, 7-3. Liberty also had two corner kicks to Asheville's zero.
The Flames tested Jackson early. Liberty fired six unanswered shots over the first 18 minutes, forcing the Bulldog goalkeeper to make four saves.
Asheville counter attacked with two shots over the next three minutes, with neither finding net and sailing wide.
The half ended with a late shot from the Flames' Tanner Wilcox during the 41st minute, which went wide.
Neither team found many quality scoring attempts during the first 25 minutes of the second half. An attempt by Liberty's Victor Portillo compelled a save by Jackson during the 58th minute and later, a shot by Asheville's Kenny Lingerfelt forced the first save of the contest by Flames' keeper Scott Sutarik during the 64th minute.
After Harbison connected with Breitmeyer during the 74th minute for what proved to be the game-winning margin of 1-0, Liberty controlled play not allowing Asheville to attack.
During the 82nd minute, Breitmeyer put another shot on net, only to see Jackson make a save to keep the Bulldogs within one.
Less than two minutes later, Flames midfielder Jonatan Torres found space and ripped a shot off the post.
Liberty did not allow an Asheville shot over the final four minutes, sealing a 1-0 victory.
The Flames held a 15-8 advantage in shots and 3-1 edge in corner kicks.
Liberty goalkeeper Sutarik made two saves and recorded his third shutout of the year. Jackson recorded six saves for the Bulldogs.
Liberty continues on the road and in conference play, Tuesday night. The Flames will travel to High Point, N.C. for a match with the High Point Panthers. Match time at Vert Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m.

On the face of it, Tony Sparano is not a popular coach.
According to a Sporting News survey of 111 players on 31 teams, the Dolphins coach finished second to Tom Coughlin among coaches players would least like to play for. Coughlin, of the New York Giants, got 22 votes while Sparano got 21 votes.
Dang it, lost again!
You'll read about this survey elsewhere in the media today and I wouldn't be surprised if Sparano is asked about it at his Friday press conference. But before folks start pounding on coach in the comments section, I must tell you why this survey is flawed and it doesn't really speak to Sparano's popularity among his players.
First, I know that I know that I know Sparano is very well liked among many of his players. Yes, there are a couple that cannot stand him. But mostly, the players in the Miami locker room like their coach and practically all have respect for their coach. That is what I know of the Miami locker room.
Secondly, the survey did not tally votes of players who could vote for their own coach. Players, in fact, were told not to vote for their own coach. So unless Shawn Murphy or Matt Roth -- two avowed Sparano haters -- are back on the roster, no one in the Miami locker room voted Sparano least liked.
Thirdly, the survey is obviously tilted in that the Dolphins were winless when the survey was done. Who on the outside looking in would want to play for an 0-7 coach? The results were bound to be negative for Miami's coach.
I'm telling you this so you see how what looks like damning and feels like an indictment is kinda sorta skewed toward getting a bad result. Now, I cannot account for Coughlin's victory. Nor can I account for Bill Belichick finishing third with 15 votes. But I don't have to. I don't get paid to cover the Giants or Patriots.
I do get paid, and handsomely I might add, to write columns in The Miami Herald. And today I wrote about, what else, Andrew Luck and Matt Barkley and Landry Jones and Brandon Weeden. My column is here and gives you perspective on where the Dolphins are likely to pick and what history says about the result they're likely to get.
[VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be discussing my column, Sparano's popularity and a little conversation I had with a very interesting Dolphins player on my radio show, Armando and the Amigo, today. You can watch the show streaming live right here. We'll also be discussing the Penn State scandal, the University of Miami game versus Florida State, the Marlins and other topics.]

Yes, we're working very, very hard on an updated iMore app for iOS 7. There's been a ton of work involved, redoing a lot of stuff to make it as iOS 7 cool as we know all of you - and all of us - want it to be. Trying to balance getting it done quickly with getting all the features we want into it is proving tricky, and we'll absolutely always revert to doing less, better, than doing more, faster. We have a very aggressive roadmap, and a ton of things we want to bring you in the iMore app, both now for iOS 7, and going forward. We really, truly want to make it the best app on your phone, and we won't stop until we get there.
Now, I don't want to tease a timeline yet, because there are way too many objects in motion to do that yet, but the redesign will be soon, more will follow, and hopefully you'll love it as much as we do.
Meanwhile, check out the photo up top, it shows the current working version, and let the team know what you think!

To obtain the authorization code from Melbourne IT, do the following:
- Log on to your account at Melbourne IT.
- From the Domain Names section, click View/Manage Domain Names.
- Click the domain name you want to transfer.
- In the Domain Details section, click view Domain Name (authinfo) Password.

When you purchase the transfer, select one of the following nameserver options:
- Keep the existing nameservers... — If you have a hosted website for your domain name (with us or another company), select this option to ensure that your site does not go down during the transfer.
- Change ... to park nameservers — If you have email with us for the domain name, are using our Off-site DNS, or created a DNS template prior to the transfer, select this option.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took 15 minutes to sit down with ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley to talk about his announced departure, biggest regrets at the company and what the future holds. We covered news from this morning that the popular figure at Microsoft will be stepping down as CEO to begin to enjoy retirement. So, the most pressing question is: what was Ballmer's biggest regret?
Windows Vista. Come on, it's really no surprise, right? Here's his answer to Foley's question:
"Oh, you know, I've actually had a chance to make a lot of mistakes, and probably because, you know, people all want to focus in on period A, period B, but I would say probably the thing I regret most is the, what shall I call it, the loopedy-loo that we did that was sort of Longhorn to Vista. I would say that's probably the thing I regret most. And, you know, there are side effects of that when you tie up a big team to do something that doesn't prove out to be as valuable."
Other interesting parts include how Ballmer's proud to be part of the birth of computing technologies, witnessing how technology has positively impacted millions of lives. Be sure to head on over to ZDNet to read the full interview. It's well worth checking out. Not everyone will agree with how Ballmer has gone about many things, but he's been an absolute blast.
We - of course - wish Ballmer all the best in the future and to say thank you for all the amazing videos and gif images that have been created.

This is how Sony is advertising some new gaming gadget. Somehow, I don't think they're trying to appeal to women gamers.
I also don't think plunking the female form down deep into the Uncanny Valley like that is going to appeal to most well-adjusted males.
The other trope on display that I see a fair bit: showing just the torso while cutting off the model's face. That's one I sometimes see with male models, too — there's nothing quite like obliterating the most expressive part of the human body to completely objectify your subject.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Newcorp head Rupert Murdoch may just be ready to test the waters with an iPad (and tablet) only "newspaper" called The Daily:
The collaboration, which has been secretly under development in New York for several months, promises to be the world's first "newspaper" designed exclusively for new tablet-style computers such as Apple's iPad, with a launch planned for early next year.
Intended to combine "a tabloid sensibility with a broadsheet intelligence", the publication represents Murdoch's determination to push the newspaper business beyond the realm of print.
Like the Kindle, this new style "newspaper" would be pushed automatically to iPad owners so they could just turn on their device and start reading. Jesse Angelo, managing editor of New York Post is rumored to be coming on as editor.
Several things are true: traditional print news is on the decline, iPad sales are soaring and competing devices in the same class will finally start appearing next year, Apple needs a good subscription content service, and Newscorp needs to find a way to sell premium content to support their news gathering.
If they could line everything up correctly, would you be interested in The Daily?

More than a week after an alleged rape took place at Chestnut Hill College police say the investigation is at a stand still. A young, female co-ed who lives on campus in the dormitories told campus security and police that a male she knows attacked her in her dorm room between 2 and 3 a.m. on Dec. 4.
Campus security transported the young woman to a hospital outside of the city where she was examined by medical staff. Capt. John Darby of Philadelphia's Special Victim's Unity said the police were called to the hospital (he would not disclose which hospital) at approximately 5 p.m. on Dec. 4 where the student reported being sexually assaulted by an acquaintance she knew prior to the attack.
"This is not a public safety concern," Darby said.
Darby declined to say if the two parties were friends or dating at the time of the attack.
College spokeswoman Kathleen Spigelmyer said the college was not aware of the suspect's identity and could not determine if the suspect is a student or has any affiliation with the college. Darby said that he did know who the suspect is but could not confirm that it is someone who also attends the college. He said the suspect does not live in the dorms.
The college and the police said the investigation is currently frustrated by the victim's reluctance to cooperate. According to Darby, after the attack she left the area with her family and has not returned.
Darby said while it is not unusual for a victim to take some time after initially reporting an assault to sit down with investigators, his unit could not proceed without a formal interview.
"This is something we deal with everyday," he said of the victim's decision to leave the area, adding that the behavior was normal and not a concern.
For now, police will wait to see if the physical exam produces evidence and wait for the victim to proceed.
"We go at [the victim's] pace," he said.

Hey all,
Firstly I apologize if there is already a thread like this. I did briefly look but didn't find one.
I have literally been swimming for 2 weeks. However was an elite athlete (completely different sport) for 10 years or so.
My aim now is to swim a fast 50m eventually.
My question is for reference purposes really.
I have watched many videos and can see that during the fastest 50yard swim ever the swimmer went around 9 seconds (with a dive) during the first lap and 10 seconds (off a flip turn) on the way back.
I am currently able to swim 13-14 seconds with no dive and no push off (just starting on the wall and swimming the entire 25 yard lap). How does this fair for a beginner? What kind of improvement is normal over the first few months here? How much should the dive decrease my first lap time?
Thank you all
I am 1.86m, 85kg.

Eine Annonce gefunden.
For over a decade, Roland Mouret has created the most coveted of women's wear collections. The designer has defined the era of the iconic dress which have become known by a single name – Galaxy, Titanium, Moon – and have earned Mouret a reputation as magician, master of structure and silhouette and as a man with an intuitive understanding of the female form.
Mouret was born in Lourdes, France. His mother worked in a hotel as a waitress and his father was a butcher. He first learned about fabric while working in his father's shop, watching the folding of the butcher's apron and learning to fold it to reveal a clean aspect, seeing the pattern of the blood on the white linen. He learned to cut from watching the way the skin of an animal is sectioned and divided with the knife. A confidence, a directness and boldness, informed his aesthetic and his approach defined by these early memories.
Years later, at his father's funeral, he reconnected with his home town. "We didn't drive to the funeral. We walked because it was a beautiful day and I saw all the little streets that contain all my childhood dreams and experiences." That year he dedicated a collection to his father's memory and paid tribute to his inspiration in the cut and fold of the clothes he presented. It is these experiences that have directly influenced the physicality of the way Mouret designs. He instinctively drapes fabric on the body rather than drawing sketches. Mouret needs to be close to the shape of the body, interacting with fabric and form with his hands. The essence of his success, he insists, is the physicality of knowing how a person wants to undress. "Dresses are for undressing. We all dress up to undress". This aesthetic has also informed his menswear collection – Roland Mouret, Mr. – the designer's initials reversed. "Having spent the last decade dressing women, it has been incredibly inspiring to be able to work with men. To think and reflect on what men really want. How men dress. How I dress."
Mouret's work is informed by the diverse experiences of his own life, "I consider my years in Paris, modelling, styling, being part of the social scene all a key part of my make-up. As are the years I have spent in London, opening a café gallery, video directing, and ultimately building my first store under my own name.
My fashion history is well documented. Building success and then losing my name, starting over, building a new unique partnership, getting back my name – it is all part of an inspiring and evolving journey. Today is where we are. You have to learn so much and go so far to understand that the support of the team around you is indispensable and that happiness and simplicity is everything.
Then you take this on to the next stage, which in my case is keeping that fine balance between the personal connection and creating a brand. Both are intrinsically linked for me. That is the paradox."

Major: Cinema Arts Internship: Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG AquariumExpected graduation: May 2013 Hometown: New Brighton, Pa.
I am the video/media intern at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. I'm responsible for shooting video at various events and activities. I then edit the footage into short videos to help market the zoo.
As the video intern, I constantly have my hands on a camera to capture the best possible footage. My experience working as a videographer for Point Park's Marketing Department definitely prepared me for this internship. I learned what questions to ask and what kinds of images to capture. I've also learned about story in my classes, and am able to incorporate some sort of story to make the videos serve a purpose.
My favorite thing about this internship is the opportunity to film the animals. I love being able to capture them on camera to share with other people.
Point Park has a growing cinema program that I found was a great fit for me. Class sizes are small and there's the opportunity to receive hands-on training using the facilities and equipment provided. The location of Downtown Pittsburgh is a perfect fit for me. I couldn't be happier with my choice of a college.
I love creativity. Film involves so many different sets of skills that all come together to create one solid product. Being able to take an idea from start to finish, from script to screen, is really a rewarding feeling.
After I graduate from Point Park, I would love to work in an environment involving animals and nature. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have learned how to shoot footage while staking out animal exhibits at the zoo. I've been involved with mostly narrative projects in my classes, so making videos that revolve around animals was something new. I really enjoyed this experience.

Chiefs Remain Undefeated 23-13 Over Bills
Two defensive scores killed any chance at the upset.
by Steve Saslow
Week 9
Gameday Grades
The Skinny:
The Chiefs are undefeated because they force turnovers and score off of them. The Bills made it easy for them to accomplish those goals. The stifling Kansas City defense scored two touchdowns off of turnovers as the Chiefs remain undefeated with a 23-13 win over the Bills in front of a less than whiteout crowd at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Bills dominated this game in almost every phase before
Jeff Tuel
had an interception returned 100 yards to tie the game at 10 in the third quarter.
T.J. Graham
than got stripped of the ball and Tamba Hali returned it 11 yards for a score that gave the Chiefs a fourth quarter lead they wouldn't relinquish. Tuel played well early hitting
Marquise Goodwin
with a 59 yard touchdown to give the Bills an early 7-0 lead. Tuel's first interception led to a Chiefs first half field goal. The Bills got the running game going thanks to a couple of long runs by
C.J. Spiller
, who ran for 116 yards on just 12 carries. The turnovers ruined a solid effort otherwise offensively as they churned out 470 total yards and a great effort by a defense that only gave up six points on their own merit.
The Turning Point:
Do you have to ask? The Bills were looking to go up by two touchdowns and an awful pass play call results in a 100 yard interception return to tie the game. That was a killer 14 point turnaround against an undefeated team. How do you come back from that? It doesn't help that
Stevie Johnson
was wide open in the end zone. The Bills stayed in the game almost to the end but it deflated the entire stadium.
The Big Drive:
The Final FG Drive: The Chiefs took the ball up by seven with 6:29 to go and marched 32 yards in seven plays to a game clinching field goal. Charles had 22 yards on the ground on the drive.
Stat I Did Like:
Bills Total Yards Rushing: The ran for 241 yards in a losing effort. Oh those turnovers.
Stat I Didn't Like:
Points Off Of Turnovers: The Bills turned the ball over three times. Two were returned for scores and the third setup three more points.
Quick Slants:
The Bills honored Darnell Barton at today's game having him on the field before the game. He is the bus driver who made national news when he talked a woman off of a bridge.
The Bills had a whiteout at the Ralph for this game and handed out 50,000 white pom poms. They also wanted fans to wear white but what if you don't have a white winter coat? Probably should have done this in September. As a result, it didn't look like a whiteout at all.
The Bills only had two inactive players because of injury. Unfortunately it was their top two QBs.
Thad Lewis
couldn't go because of his injured ribs and
EJ Manuel
is still not ready to return from his LCL injury. He did throw before the game and said he feels good and will get more reps this week.
Tuel was just the 5th undrafted free agent QB to start a game in his rookie year in 20 years.
Key Matchup Results:
The winners of the battles highlighted in our preview article:
LT Cordy Glenn vs. LB Tamba Hali:
Winner: Glenn.
You only heard Hali's name when he picked up a fumble and returned it for a score which isn't Glenn's fault.
RT Erik Pears vs. LB Justin Houston:
Winner: Pears.
He kept Houston at bay but did have to hold him once.
DE Mario Williams vs. LT Branden Albert:
Winner: Albert.
Super Mario wasn't that this week.
LB Kiko Alonso vs. RB Jamaal Charles:
Winner: Alonso.
The Bills kept Charles in check most of the game.
Keys To The Game Results:
How the keys highlighted in our preview article turned out:
1. Protect The QB:
They actually gave Tuel plenty of time to throw.
2. Run The Ball Early and Often:
They ran the ball with a lot of success with 38 total carries.
3. Force Mistakes:
They didn't take the ball away and gave up 17 points off of their turnovers.
My Take:
The Chiefs did what they have done all year. They played opportunistic football, got all the breaks, and beat a team playing a backup quarterback. The Bills played inspired at times and showed some good things. They believed in Tuel and it showed with a fairly open game plan and that was their downfall. You don't be any undefeated teams by giving up two touchdowns on offense. In fact you don't beat many winless teams that way either. It's another lesson learned by a young, growing, hobbled team.
What's Ahead:
The Bills schedule gets much easier now. They do have to travel to a place that is very tough to play in when they take the short trip to Pittsburgh to take on a Steelers team who surprisingly only has two wins on the season.
C.J. Spiller
- Had 116 yards rushing and 39 receiving in limited work.
Kyle Williams
- He was dominant in the middle of the line of scrimmage.
Fred Jackson
- Ran with authority on his injured knee and had 99 total yards of his own.
Jeff Tuel
- Not that I blame him but his two interceptions were absolute killers.
Stephon Gilmore
- He was burned early and often in this game.
Scott Chandler
- He had two drops and had no chemistry with Tuel.
Mario Williams
- Barely knew he was on the field.
T.J. Graham
- Looked lost out there and his fumble was a killer.
Player Of The Week
C.J. Spiller
- A great effort as he gutted it out and made some big plays in the loss.

Chris Brown's hit-and-run case stemming from a May fender bender has been dismissed.
Superior Court Judge Christine Ewell said Thursday that a "civil compromise" had been reached, L.A. Now reported.
The Grammy-winning R&B; singer originally faced misdemeanor charges of hit-and-run, driving without a valid license and driving without valid insurance, but the latter two charges were dropped when the 24-year-old produced a driver license from his native Virginia and proof that he had insurance.

The "Don't Wake Me Up" singer's attorney Mark Geragos filed a motion to dismiss the remaining hit-and-run charge because Brown had reached a civil settlement with the other driver, Olga Kovalenko, whose Mercedes was rear-ended in the May fender bender. He said that no additional money was paid to the car owner beyond the insurance payment for damage to the vehicle.
"The case never should have been filed in the first place. It's unfortunate he was being prosecuted for who he is rather than what he's done," Geragos told TMZ.
Kovalenko reportedly didn't want any money because the damage done was minor and asked for the case to be dismissed, TMZ reported. The L.A. city attorney had disagreed and argued that Brown's alleged misdeeds violated his felony probation and alleged that he was also aggressive toward Kovalenko.
The singer took to Twitter on Thursday to share his excitement over the dismissal, writing, "!!!!!!! Thank GOD!" and linking to TMZ's coverage. (However, at the time of publication, the mobile link took followers to TMZ's updated homepage declaring that "That 70s Show" actress Lisa Robin Kelly had died. In Breezy's defense, the URL is for the story about his case being dismissed.)
In July, a judge revoked Brown's five-year felony probation, which he was serving as a result of his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna, because the hit-and-run incident may have violated the probation's terms.
Despite the most recent case's dismissal, his legal troubles aren't over.
On Aug. 5., Brown was booked at a Van Nuys jail and released on his own recognizance until the Aug. 19 probation hearing in which he could face up to four years in jail if found in violation. The resulting media frenzy prompted the singer to say he was retiring from music after his upcoming album, "X."
On Aug. 9, the singer suffered a non-epileptic seizure, which his rep said doctors attributed "to intense fatigue and extreme emotional stress, both due to the continued onslaught of unfounded legal matters and the nonstop negativity."
On Tuesday, Brown was named in a lawsuit stemming from a studio parking spot altercation with his associate — referred to as "Hood" in court documents — and singer Frank Ocean in January. Sha'Keir M. Duarte, who filed the complaint, alleged battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and conspiracy to commit battery, according to L.A. Now.
