"Today all members of Congress were afforded the opportunity to vote their conscience and represent the wishes of their constituents on the issue of federal funding for the abortion," U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, a Catholic and pro-life Democrat from Michigan, said Nov. 7. He was the leading sponsor of an amendment to the House's landmark health care reform proposal. The amendment passed 240-194. The House bill passed 220-215.
Like the Hyde amendment it prohibits the use of federal funding for abortion under the public health insurance option and prohibits using government affordable-health-coverage credits for any policy that covers abortion.
The same day, before the House vote, the U.S. bishops in a letter urged House members to support the Stupak amendment to "keep in place current federal law on abortion funding and conscience protections" in the House bill. The letter was signed by Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia, chairman of the Committee on Pro-life Activities and Bishop William F. Murphy of Rockville Centre, N.Y., chairman of the bishops' Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development.
"Our bishops' conference has been working for many years to support health care reform legislation that truly protects the life, dignity, health and consciences of all. Adopting this amendment will help move us toward this essential national priority and moral imperative," Cardinal Rigali and Bishop Murphy wrote.
A day before the vote the bishops sent a letter to House members reiterating their position on how the legislation deals with abortion and immigrants.
The Nov. 6 letter to House leaders — signed by Cardinal Justin Rigali, Bishop Murphy and Bishop John C. Wester of Salt Lake City, chairman of the Committee on Migration — emphasized points that have been made often and firmly by the U.S. bishops.
It urged members to:
"– Support an amendment to keep in place current federal law on abortion funding and conscience protections and to oppose a closed rule that would prevent the House from voting on this crucial matter;
— Oppose measures that would leave immigrants, especially legal immigrants, worse off as a result of health reform;
— Support access for immigrants to the health-insurance exchange, regardless of legal status, and support removal of the five-year ban on legal immigrants accessing Medicaid and other federal health-care programs; and
— Support strong provisions that would make health care more affordable and accessible, especially for the poor and vulnerable, by expanding Medicaid to adults who are living at 150 percent or lower of the Federal Poverty Level and offering adequate affordability credits for households up to 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level."
The bishops' full remarks are available here.

The 2010-11 Ferris State University men's hockey team can hold their heads up high as the Bulldogs overcame an early three-goal deficit to force overtime in Sunday's (March 13) deciding third game of a Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) Tournament Quarterfinal-Round series, but unfortunately Western Michigan would tally the game-winning goal at 2:23 into the extra session to claim a 5-4 victory over the Bulldogs at WMU's Lawson Ice Arena in Kalamazoo, Mich.
The setback eliminates Ferris State from the conference tournament and in all likelihood marked the final appearance for the Bulldogs this season. FSU was at few places away from garnering consideration for a possible NCAA Tournament spot in the latest NCAA Pairwise Rankings. The Bulldogs, under 19th-year head coach Bob Daniels, have registered an 18-16-5 overall record this season while earning fifth place in the CCHA regular-season standings at 12-12-4-3 (43 league points).
The decisive third game featured momentum swings by both teams as fourth-seed Western Michigan scored three unanswered goals early in the contest only to have Ferris State come back from three goals down to produce four of the next five lamplighters. In the 20-minute overtime period, the Bulldogs controlled the play at the start with several good scoring chances on WMU goaltender Jerry Kuhn as the puck stayed in the Broncos' zone for the first two minutes. Western was able to get a scoring opportunity when junior defenseman Brett Wysopal (LaGrange Park, Ill.) lost an edge on his skate near the blueline of FSU's zone and fell down while WMU's Dane Walters skated to the loose puck. Walters gained puck possession before putting a cross ice pass on Max Campbell's stick during a scoring rush attempt. Campbell, who scored twice in the contest, proceeded to blast a wrister from inside the left circle into the far corner of Ferris' net for the game-winning score.
Western Michigan did all of the scoring in the opening period on a pair of goals, which came less than two minutes apart. A tip in by Trevor Elias just outside the front of the Ferris State crease off a rebound shot gave the host Broncos a 1-0 lead at 13:28. WMU followed up the power-play goal with its second lamplighter of the contest as Shane Berschbach scored on an unassisted marker. Berschbach ripped a shot from outside the near ring of the left circle which went five-hole between senior goaltender Pat Nagle's (Bloomfield) pads to put the Broncos up 2-0 with 4:55 remaining in the first period. Western would claim an 11-5 shots on goal advantage thru the initial 20 minutes of action.
The second period was an offensive one as evidenced by the two teams combining for five goals. Western Michigan tallied first when Matt Tennyson connected on a shot from near the right circle faceoff dot at 3:57 into the frame. Trailing 3-0, Ferris State would get on the board 1:07 later as freshman defenseman Scott Czarnowczan (Macomb) sent a wrister from the left circle netward that was tipped by junior right wing Aaron Schmit (Grafton, Wis.) into the Broncos' net. Senior defenseman Scott Wietecha (Wolverine Lake) and Czarnowczan each earned an assist on Schmit's power-play goal, which represented his seventh of the season. Western would quickly answer as the Broncos made it 4-1 only 38 seconds later when Max Campbell broke loose on a one-on-one breakaway against Pat Nagle and his wrist shot landed into the top righter corner of the Ferris goal.
Ferris State, which faced a three-goal deficit early in the second period, rallied with back-to-back goals off the stick of sophomore center Travis Ouellette (Windsor, Ontario). The Bulldog forward continued to produce on his current scoring tear by racking up his ninth of the season on a nifty back-handed shot between the crease and right circle. FSU then narrowed the gap to 4-3 at the 12:01 mark when the Bulldogs capitialized on a five-on-three man advantage as Ouellette was on the receiving end of a tic-tac-toe pass. Mike Fillinger fed a pass cross ice down low to Ouellette, who positioned himself between the left circle and the WMU crease. Ouellette potted his 10th on the year as Fillinger and Wietecha each registered their second helper on the night.
The Bulldogs gained the equalizer in the regulation's final period as freshman center Cory Kane (Irvine, Calif.) converted on a two-on-one break with his fourth goal of the season. Kane's tally came at the 7:46 via a shot from the top of goal crease to beat WMU netminder Jerry Kuhn over his blocker hand. Senior center Justin Menke (Shamrock, Saskatchewan) and sophomore left wing Kyle Bonis (Lindsay, Ontario) were credited with assists. Ferris State appeared on the verge of taking the lead with 1:14 to go in regulation, but Kuhn made a diving save on sophomore right wing Matthew Kirzinger's (Leroy, Saskatchewan) breakaway shot from inside down low of the left circle.
Pat Nagle (18-14-5), a 2010-11 CCHA First-Team selection and a finalist for the CCHA RBC Player of the Year Award this season, totaled 26 saves for Ferris State while his counterpart, Jerry Kuhn (11-6-6) finished his evening by chalking up 29 stops. The Bulldogs would claim a 33-31 edge in shots on goal, including a 6-1 margin in overtime.
Three Bulldog skaters turned in multiple-point outings as Scott Wietecha and Mike Fillinger each compiled two assists while Travis Ouellette pocketed two goals in the encounter.
Notes: Travis Ouellette finished the season with a five-game points streak and a combined nine points (5-4=9) in that span . . . The Bulldogs were 1-3-5 in overtime affairs this season . . . Travis Ouellette has six career points (4-2=6) in five career outings versus Western Michigan.

This week brought additional less-than-stellar news for the Pimco family of funds, which has been in the spotlight since the January announcement that CEO Mohamed El-Erian was departing.
Pimco was replaced by TCW as manager of a $1.3 billion portion of a Columbia Management Fund, according to a TCW statement Thursday. The fund, a fixed-income portion of the Columbia Funds Variable Series Trust II, will be known as the TCW Core Plus Bond Fund. It previously was called the Pimco Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund.
There\'s no word on whether the shift had anything to do with management changes. Pimco and Columbia did not immediately return requests for comment. The news was first reported by Bloomberg.
Separately, Morningstar said earlier this week it was downgrading some components of Pimco\'s analyst rating. In a report, senior fund analyst Eric Jacobson writes:
\"We have lowered Pimco\'s overall Stewardship Grade to C from B, with an A grade being the highest possible and F the lowest. We have also lowered Pimco\'s Parent Pillar score — one of the five pillars of the Morningstar Analyst Rating for Funds — to Neutral from Positive. Those changes reflect a higher degree of uncertainty around the firm\'s recent personnel changes and lower manager investment alongside fund shareholders.\"
The changes don\'t necessarily affect the complete Morningstar fund ratings just yet, though Jacobson notes that, \"it is logical to assume that Morningstar analysts would move quickly from here to reassess those ratings on a fund-by-fund basis.\" The $236 billion Total Return Fund kept its top rating.
Reports last month indicated that El-Erian clashed with with Bill Gross, the money manager\'s hard-driving founder, which helped hasten the CEO\'s eventual exit. Gross subsequently said he was \"sick of Mohamed trying to undermine me\" and a Pimco trustee recently said he was displeased with Gross\'s fat salary.
In a video, Jacobson explains that the management changes — including the both the departure and appointment of deputies to Gross — played into the downgrade:
\"Around the questions on whether the latest senior staffing transitions will ultimately be beneficial to investors, I think, as individuals, they are some terrific managers and great intellects. But when you mix it altogether, it leads to some uncertainty.
\"And then I would say that, there is also this issue of whether the recent and senior-level departures indicate some sort of a persistent side effect of the pressure-cooker culture that we talked about before. We know anecdotally that that was the case in a couple of places. But it is something that we think is certainly something that we want to keep an eye on and whether or not that develops in the future, but it\'s certainly a concern.\"
The shakeup has alarmed some investment managers who buy into Pimco funds, though just as many aren\'t fazed. The Wall Street Journal\'s Kirsten Grind writes:
\"Paul Schatz, president of Heritage Capital LLC of Woodbridge, Conn., which manages $65 million, this week slammed Pimco and Mr. Gross in a letter to clients, saying that Pimco is \'anything but a collegial, team environment where dissenting opinions are encouraged and respected.\'
\"In an interview, he said that he had moved some client money from Pimco funds, including Mr. Gross\'s Total Return Fund. Mr. Schatz also faulted Mr. Gross for allowing Mr. El-Erian\'s departure to become \'a soap opera.\'\"
The Orange County, Calif., Sanitation District also put out a request for proposals to manage a $430 million investment fund, that\'s currently managed by Pimco, though the decision was unrelated to the Pimco management turnover, according to a Journal report this week.
One Twitter user didn\'t hesitate to draw a connection between the recent rise in interest rates, and the bond funds recent troubles:
Meanwhile, El-Erian got a Twitter account this week, but he\'s staying mum on Pimco.

text: In the wake of the economic crisis, many companies these days seem to be undervalued. The current earnings-to-price ratios are high and often market commentators argue that these ratios reflect good opportunities to invest. However, the emergence of undervalued stocks comes at a time of high market uncertainty so it's more important than ever for investors to identify strong investment opportunities based on a company's fundamentals.

Studying a whole academic year at one of our European partner institutions will provide a complementary perspective on your subject, provide you with an enriching cultural experience and make you a competent speaker of your chosen language. To an employer your language skills matter as does the fact that you have demonstrated independence and initiative. 2014 National Student Survey "97% of students said that overall they were satisfied with the quality of our Biochemistry courses" Modules Our modular course programme gives increasing flexibility in choosing modules that resonate with your interests. Following a first year where all modules are compulsory, you take a combination of compulsory and optional modules in the second year, while the final year includes only one compulsory module and a broad choice of optional modules covering areas as diverse as cancer biology, immunology, neurobiology and mechanisms of human disease. For a description of modules see Biochemistry Module Information. The modules described here are the ones that we currently offer and will give you a good idea of the range of subjects that we teach. However as our undergraduate teaching is research led and we constantly review our teaching to ensure that the modules that we offer are up to date there may be changes to module titles and content. Please note: The modules listed on the website for this programme are regularly reviewed to ensure they are up-to-date and informed by the latest research and teaching methods. Unless indicated otherwise, the modules listed for this programme are for students starting in 2019. On rare occasions, we may need to make unexpected changes to compulsory modules after that date; in this event we will contact offer holders as soon as possible to inform or consult them as appropriate. First Year The first year offers a set of modules that explores the full spectrum of biochemistry, from the physiology of living organism to the molecular details of particular biochemical reactions and the enzymes that catalyse these reactions.

How to apply Apply through UCAS at www.ucas.com Learn more about applying OverviewLearning and teaching Take a virtual tour of one ofour teaching labs As a Birmingham student you will learn from world-leading experts. From the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent thinker, discussing, analysing and evaluating various aspects of biochemistry in partnership with the staff who will be involved in every step of your learning. What can you expect? Throughout your Biochemistry degree you can expect an average of about 15 hours of contact time per week over the two teaching terms (autumn and spring). This will be made up of lectures, practical laboratory workshops and seminars. The proportion of time spent in each will vary depending on which year you are in and the optional modules you choose. You will be taught by our professors and lecturers, while doctoral researchers will support practicals as demonstrators. You can find out more about the members of academic staff in the School of Biosciences here where you can read about their qualifications, publication history and specific areas of interest. Lectures - At Birmingham, we support lectures through recordings of the session, so you can revisit and review parts of the session as needed. Lectures frequently include interactive elements, for instance by using instant polling. Occasionally, we use 'flipped' lectures, asking you to study a particular topic prior to a session, and using the contact time to explore the topic in more depth through problem solving exercises, question-and-answer sessions or lecturer-led group discussions. Student interaction using discussion boards, social media is expressively encouraged. Practical classes - Laboratory-based practical work is an integral part of our degree. A typical practical session will last 3 hours allowing you to complete the work at your own pace. In addition to gaining important transferable skills, experience of practical work is essential if you wish to move into a research career and is valued by a wide range of employers. You will engage with academic and postgraduate researchers who will help you during these practical sessions. Tutorials - A personal tutorial system is an integral feature of our degree programme and your tutors will help you in three important areas: supporting your academic progress, developing transferable skills and helping with any welfare issues. You will normally have the same tutor throughout the course, who will get to know you well as you progress towards graduation. Tutor groups include a maximum of 6 students and each tutor looks after one tutorial group in each of the years. You will have one-on-one meetings with your tutor at least once a term. Project (final year) - A core component of your final year is the project, which principally comes in two forms: as a laboratory-based project or as an extended dissertation. In both situations, a lecturer or professor will guide and advise you. But the principal aim is to lead you to independence as a future graduate in your field. You will join one of the research groups in the School for the laboratory-based project, and you will work on a topic or question that draws on current research activity. You will receive training in relevant lab techniques and you will have to document your work and its results in a thesis-like report. The dissertation project asks you to explore the research literature in a narrowly defined area of scholarship, with three aims: one, to write a comprehensive review of that area, two, to explore analyse a small set of articles in depth, and three, to develop a new research proposal from your review and in-depth analysis. Our e-learning platform Canvas provides a wide range of learning resources. Recordings of lecture sessions, reading material and links to resources on external sites, quizzes, video material and so on. We use Canvas to provided individual feedback on some of the assessments, for instance on essays. Finally, Canvas serves as a discussion forum, where tailored to individual classes or groups, students can exchange questions, thoughts with each other and with lecturing staff. We have dedicated welfare tutors who provide professional support, advice and guidance to students across a range of issues. They can meet with you to discuss extensions, disabilities, reasonable adjustments, extenuating circumstances, or talk through any problems you might be experiencing, and help you access wider support on campus and beyond. During your first year it is important that you have a smooth transition into University. You will be able to talk to your tutors about this and discuss if there are particular areas where you need support. Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the centre's aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from one-to-one support with mathematics and statistics based problems from experienced mathematicians, to workshops on a range of topics including note talking, reading, writing and presentation skills. Assessment methods Studying at degree-level is likely to develop in different ways from your previous experience of learning and teaching. As well as remembering biochemical facts you will learn how to demonstrate real understanding as you apply your knowlege to analyse and evaluate scientific information. Our ultimate aim is to help you develop into a skilled and creative biochemist. Each module is assessed separately and you will be assessed in a variety of different ways. All modules contain some continuous assessment, that is, assessment taking place during the teaching period. Continuous assessment generally accounts for one quarter to one third of the mark for a given module, while the remainder is contributed by the end-of-year examination in the summer term. A subset of modules are assessed through course work, without an end-of-year examination. At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that particular programme of study. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within three weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done. You'll be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you should fail an exam we will ensure that particularly detailed feedback is made available to enable you to learn for the future. More information about assessment methods and feedback is given below: Feedback - You will be able to track how your learning is developing by using a wide range of types of feedback. These include: written feedback on your scripts, formative tests (these do not count in your final degree mark), class feedback question sessions, discussions with each other and your tutor. An important avenue for providing individualised feedback is the e-learning platform Canvas. Examinations - The end-of-year examinations take place in May, June each year. Length and format of the exams changes from first to final year. We give you access to marking criteria, while mock exam and marking sessions allow you to get a sense what to aim for, helping ease any apprehension you might have. Continuous assessment - During the teaching terms you will gather marks through assessments in a variety of formats. Essays, poster or oral presentations, or group submissions will feature at various points. Most practicals require you to submit a write-up and some also feature a proficiency test prior to the session. The weighting of these assessments is small, therefore occasional missteps are not likely to jeopardise progression. Projects and dissertations - You will choose the topic of your project from a wide range of titles. We offer a range of projects including practical work in the laboratory, field work, computer based projects, or literature reviews. Projects allow you to demonstrate the full range of academic and transferable skills you have developed and provide a stepping stone to into research and other careers.

installations for reception, office and the "Bühne B" foyer within an existing school building
Location: Gessnerallee 09-13, 8001 Zürich
Client: Hochbauamt Kanton Zürich
Status: built
Project: 2003
The interior structure was condensed pragmatically in order to create two new areas: an extension to the office, as well as a new library and reception area. The use of glass tunnels as interior walkways allows the creation of office workplaces within the structure of the listed building. The lobby contains a built-in reception and library area. These areas are clearly perceived as new interventions in the existing structure. In terms of shape, material and colour they refer to one another while contrasting with the rawness of the existing rooms. The interventions look light and mobile and seem to dematerialise due to their surface. A glass skin covers these newly built-in facilities. This glass surface is comprised of layers of tinted foil in combination with thick glass. This generates an impression of depth, iridescent colour and light display. The colours green, blue and red refer to the respective location and surrounding area.

Wulfware can do some of this, but I never thought about putting in all of it. And it does have a nice logging interface (wulflogger) that returns the information as a table, and examples of perl scripts that can be used to parse and repack the data further if you like. However, wulfware is open source, and it would be really easy to add some of this to xmlsysd and then to wulfstat or wulflogger output. The problem is that some of this isn't available in a standard form in software. How can you read the serial number of a system in software? Or firmware version? If you know how to go about this with systems calls it should be easy enough to add. Disk information could probably be added. Running services COULD be added, but boy, there could be a lot of them (I assume you mean the output of e.g. chkconfig --list or the like). At the moment, at least, it returns things that are fairly easy (well, not necessarily "easy" but possible:-) to extract from e.g. /proc tables or systems calls, but not much else. Things that aren't available in software (or aren't likely to be useful to global cluster administration) aren't there. rgb > > I know this sounds just like three medium sized SQL tables, but at least > I wanted to ask what people are using if more than a single person is > working on the cluster.

text: When a woman loves the taste of warm cum on her tongue, she spends all her time perfecting her blowjob skills, and all these women have grouped in one place for you to choose from. Whether it's a blonde, brunette, Asian or Latina, the one thing they all have in common is their constant search for another big dick to suck, so join them as they practice on stud after stud to be rewarded with an oral creampie. Once they've stripped down to arouse their hunk with their tight, toned body and huge tits, they will eagerly get down on their knees and worship his erection. Using their salivating mouths, they will lubricate his hard cock by deep throating it then slowly sliding it out between their lips while following their mouths with their hands. The intense sucking and stroking will drive these guys wild, and you will join them as you cum explosively at the thought of your cock being sucked by an expert. You've never seen girls crave cum so hungrily, and once they get a taste, their horniness will fully kick in and they'll be riding their hunk's hard boner in no time. Spankwire.com is the place to find all these movies for free, so check them out today.

Angle Heads Offer High Speed, Accuracy
Tecnara Tooling's MST angle heads are designed for 90- and 45-degree apllications as well as invariable-angle applications.
Related Topics:
Tecnara Tooling's MST angle heads are designed for 90- and 45-degree applications as well as invariable-angle applications. The angle heads combine high-speed capability with accuracy ranging to 6,000 rpm with 0.0002" TIR at the cavity. A through-body coolant system cools the body and simultaneously splashes the cutter to increase tool life and machining efficiency. The angle heads also feature machined cast iron housings; hardened, precision, spiral-bevel gears; and precision, angular-contact ball bearings.
The angle head's modular design provides complete interchangeability among various shanks and heads, making it well-suited for short-run jobs, the company says. They are available with 2", 4" and 6" extensions as well as a variety of projection lengths and collets. Miniature angle heads are also availabe for tight-space applications.
Rugged and compact fixed-angle heads are available for heavy-duty applications. By changing positioning accessories, they can be switched among machines with the same taper and flange. Fixed-angle heads are equipped with an orientation ring and key, and they can be set for any cutting direction. A 90-degree fixed angle is standard. Custom configurations are also available.
Flange angle heads are bolted onto the spindle face for maximum rigidity. To change them among same-taper machines, users can change the mounting plate. The heads are available in three angle-shaft configurations: collet-chuck, BT30 and CAT40 master-holder type.
Compact and hightweight Half angle heads are designed for drilling, tapping and light-duty milling applications. They can cut from 0 to 360 degrees, and are available in CAT40, CAT50, BT30, BT40 and HSK63A flange configurations. Half Universal angle heads offer the same features and benefits as the standard Half heads, plus the ability to cut from invariable angles ranging from 0 to 360 degrees, and 0 degrees ±120 degrees. They are available in CAT40, CAT50 and BT40 flange configurations.

Dieter just told us about Crackberry Kevin's uber-frustrating experiences trying to pit the iPhone 3G and Blackberry Bold head to head in the browser war to end all browser wars. But -- silver lining -- for iPhone users, not only did we snag bragging rights, but a handy tip as well!
Here's how:
From the iPhone home screen, tap Settings. Scroll down and tap the Safari button. Under Security, slide Javascript to Off.
There you go, you've just switched to light, clean HTML and CSS mode (still technically "just the internet" -- unless you're in the UK...). In Crackberry.com's tests, it made a big difference on some sites. Let us know how it works for you!
(Thanks to Crackberry Kevin!)

Linnéa's Berry Pie
Let's start this week with something sweet!
Linnéa is my niece, and she served this super-great berry pie when I visited her and her family this summer. It was absolutely delicious! You can use any berries you want - and frozen are fine, just let them thaw a little bit. This one was made with -I think - raspberries and blueberries.
Linnéa's Berry Pie
100 g butter or margarine
250 ml (1 cup) of sugar
1/2 tsp salt
250 ml (1 cup) of flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
2 tbsp golden syrup (substitute light molasses)
2 tsp vanilla sugar
200 g berries
Put the berries in an oven-proof dish. Melt the fat and add the sugar. Mix flour with baking powder, salt and vanilla sugar, and stir into the batter. Finally add the egg and the syrup. Cover the berries with the batter.
Bake at 175°C for 30-45 minutes until the surface is golden brown and looks caramelized. Serve with ice cream.

I pour in the batter first and after that the berries. They sink quite a bit inside and it is delicious! Especially when sprinkled with crystal sugar before the baking.

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Video: Fact From Myth
A new teaser for BioShock Infinite's Burial at Sea downloadable content episode has debuted, giving us a look at a world in which Rapture existed.
The latest "Fact from Myth" video explores the underwater city of Rapture and whether or not it was real. The documentary-style video highlights some artifacts found from the city, such as splicer masks and EVE hypos.
But perhaps the most astounding find was a poster of a Rapture-era Elizabeth and a man with his back turned to us who we can only assume is Rapture-era Booker. The scientists in the video search out a woman who grew up in Rapture and show her the items. Seeing the poster of Booker and Liz prompted the woman to angrily toss the pictures of the artifacts to the ground.
This video mirrors the old "Truth from Legend" promotional video that explored Columbia, which they called "A Modern Day Icarus." This change in title and subject matter is due to the alternate universe setting of the DLC, which explains why Booker and Liz would be in Rapture, years after their time.
We'll let you know when a release date for this DLC is set. Until then, check out the video above.

*cross-post* WOW
This whole thing did hurt "Burt Wonderstone" in an extremely bad way. Last week it was on number ten at the box office. Now, 4th week, it's ... gone. It's not even in the top 50 anymore. Following the box office is something I do for about 15 years now. That's something that (almost) never happened before. It's over. Finished.
I can't believe all the negative vibes about Jim actually had the effect they were going for. I'm so shocked by this, I can imagine this could realy hurt his carreer and will have effect on green-lighting future projects. Usualy I'm very sober on all those things, but this happening worries me.
Reading all about this subject, I also learned that some of the theatres banned "Burt Wonderstone" over this. "Kick-Ass 2" has everything to be a solid hit, at least. There is also a very big fan base and the original movie became very hot worldwide by people talking about it in a very positive way, everywhere. But if this is possible ... I'm afraid that the upcoming Carrey movie will be hurt by this also. Even if "Kick-Ass 2" does well, that could actually mean it would have done outstanding if it wasn't for this.
Damn the media and the twisted influence it has. I have no words for this. This sad fenomenon actually touched me.

Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company will produce five works, including the world premiere of a new musical about the life of the legendary Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente.
The 2014-2015 season begins Oct. 17 and runs through April 26, 2015 at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, the performing arts center of Point Park and the Conservatory of Performing Arts. At the Playhouse, Conservatory students have the unique opportunity to work in a professional setting while learning their craft.
The season includes:
Book, music and lyrics by Alki Steriopoulos Directed by Richard SabellicoOct. 17–26, Rockwell Theatre
"21" tells the compelling story of the unparalleled life and death of baseball legend, Roberto Clemente, as well as the three women who were instrumental in making Clemente the man he was — his mother, Doña Luisa, his wife, Vera, and his doting sister, Anairis.
By William ShakespeareDirected by John Amplas, professor and associate artistic director of The REPNov. 7–23, Studio Theatre
A favorite among audiences, Shakespeare's pastoral comedy, which features one of the most often-quoted speeches – "All the world's a stage" – follows Rosalind as she flees her uncle's court with her cousin Celia and the court jester, Touchstone, to find safety and love in the Forest of Arden.
Book by Greg Kotis, music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Kotis and HollmannDirected by Zeva Barzell, associate professor and musical theatre coordinatorDec. 9–14, Rauh Theatre

Book, music, and lyrics by Sandy WilsonDirected by Jack Allison, assistant professorFeb. 27–March 15, Rockwell Theatre
Set on the French Riviera during the Roaring Twenties, The Boy Friend premiered on the West End in England in 1953 and ran for more than 2,000 performances. It premiered the following year on Broadway and was revived in 1970. A film version, starring Twiggy and directed by Ken Russell, hit theaters in 1971.
By Tennessee WilliamsDirected by Martin GilesApril 17–26, Rauh Theatre
Tennessee Williams' sultry, steamy classic needs no introduction. One of the greatest plays of the 20th century, this 1948 Pulitzer Prize-winner opened on Broadway with a cast that featured Marlon Brando, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden. In 1951, most of this cast – Vivien Leigh replaced Tandy as Blanche – and director Elia Kazan turned Williams' play into an unforgettable film.

There are a few things that keep the Linux Planet spinning, one of them is the Linux kernel itself. This week, we saw a new kernel debut, providing another incremental step forward for performance and stability.
1) Linux 3.5
Linux 3.5 is the fourth Linux kernel of 2012, following the 3.4 kernel by approximately eight weeks. Over the last eight weeks, Linus Torvalds has pushed out no less than seven release candidates, the same number required for the 3.4 kernel release.
Among the big new items are new integrity checks for the Ext4 filesystem.
"As much as we wish our storage hardware was 100 percent reliable, it is still quite possible for data to be corrupted on disk, corrupted during transfer over a wire, or written to the wrong places," the kernel.org wikion metadata checksums explains. "To protect against this sort of non-hostile corruption, it is desirable to store checksums of metadata objects on the filesystem to prevent broken metadata from shredding the filesystem."
The new metadata checksum inclusion is an attempt to marginally narrow the gap between Ex4 and Btrfs, which has many more such metadata checks for integrity.
With Linux 3.5 now out the door, developers will now turn their attention to Linux 3.6. With summer holiday season now in full flight, there is the chance that Linux 3.6 could be a lighter release than usual.
"If you are a (probably European) maintainer, and will be gone most of August, I'd rather you just delay the whole thing until 3.7 rather than send me a merge request for 3.6 and then effectively disappear for the next few weeks," Torvalds wrotein a mailing list posting. "And if 3.6 ends up smaller as a result of vacation details like that, it's fine."
2) Ubuntu WebApps
Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth took the time to visit the OSCON open source conference last week in Portland. Among the highlights of Shuttleworth's visit was a keynote address in which he revealed a new effort set to debut in Ubuntu 12.10 that will more deeply integrate web applications into the desktop, than ever before. Known as WebApps, the effort will integrate the web based applications into the Ubuntu Unity interface to provide a more native experience.
In addition to the WebApps announcement, Shuttleworth also made some very strong statement about the strength of Ubuntu on the desktop. In his view, Ubuntu has now eclipsed Apple in terms of ease of use and beauty on the desktop. It's a mission that he first announced four years agoon the same stage at OSCON.
It's a success which is translating into real number too, according to Shuttleworth.
"Next year, 5 percent of the world's PCs will ship with Ubuntu pre-installed," Shuttleworth said.
3) Unity and Cinnamon on Fedora
At the core of the Ubuntu desktop experience is Unity, which is something that no other Linux desktop has really embraced. Well now Fedora Linux users, if they so choose, can choose to use Unity as well, albeit not by way of the official Fedora repos. The Unity for Fedora build is by way of the GNOME Ayatana project building RPMs using the openSUSE build service.
Now, Unity is not for everyone, which is where the Cinnamon desktop comes into play. Cinnamon was started up by Linux Mint founder Clement Lefebre as an alternative to Unity, providing a more traditional GNOME 2 type interface on top of GNOME 3 infrastructure.
Cinnamon is now available in the main Fedora repos, enabling users to simply type ' yum install cinnamon' to experience the new desktop.

The devil may care - this is just my creative humour or idiocy not sure
Over there - is an old wartime song
Keep right on to the end of the road
may be an old English song,I think
and it may not be called that,
that is the last line of the song
I truly beleive when a nation prays and sings together
something amazing happens, it was a good idea,
perhaps they should start with the mothers, usually
they are the ones that teach the songs.
My childrens Granny from Scotland would
sing songs such as "Ride a white horse to Branbury Cross"
or something like that, it was nice to see her sing to them.
Every mother, grandmother and great-grandmother
should pass along the songs of the heart so they will go
on for generations to come.
In the old days that's how stories and history was told.
Hopefully the tradition won't be lost in the hub bub of

Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts
Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts
ISBN: 978-0-813-80252-7 September 2010 Wiley-Blackwell 276 Pages
Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts is the first book to focus solely on the production of biofuels primarily from agricultural waste and by-products. The book is divided roughly into two sections. The first section looks at liquid biofuel production from agricultural byproducts, densification of agricultural residues, and the delivery from farm to processing plant of waste and byproducts for use in biofuel production. The second section focuses on anaerobic digestion of food and animal wastes, microbial diversity, molecular and biochemical aspects of methanogensis.
Together these sections solidify Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts as a definitive source of information on the use of agricultural waste and by-products in biofuel production.
Table of contents
About the Editors.
1 Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts: An Introduction (Hans P. Blaschek, Thaddeus C. Ezeji, and Jürgen Scheffran).
2 Production of Liquid Biofuels from Biomass: Emerging Technologies (Nasib Qureshi, Stephen Hughes, and Thaddeus C. Ezeji).
3 Butanol Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass (Thaddeus C. Ezeji and Hans P. Blaschek).
4 Practical Aspects of Methane Production from Agricultural Wastes (Largus T. Angenent and Norman R. Scott).
5 Conversion of Agricultural Residues to Bioethanol: The Roles of Cellulases and Cellulosomes (Edward A. Bayer, Raphael Lamed, Bryan A. White, Shi-You Ding, and Michael E. Himmel).
6 Fuel and Chemical Production from Glycerol, a Biodiesel Waste Product (Syed Shams Yazdani, Anu Jose Mattam, and Ramon Gonzalez).
7 Farm-Gate to Plant-Gate Delivery of Lignocellulosic Feedstocks from Plant Biomass for Biofuel Production (Klein E. Ileleji, Shahab Sokhansanj, and John S. Cundiff).
8 Conversion of Existing Dry-Mill Ethanol Operations to Biorefineries (Timothy C. Lindsey).
9 Cellulosic Ethanol from Agricultural Residues (Bin Yang, Yanpin Lu, and Charles E. Wyman).

I have to tell ya, I was so intense I hardly sat down the whole time, I had my Tanzania flag draped over my Lynch jersey, and when we stuffed them on the first series I started going whacko.
But when we blocked that FG and ran it back, I was bouncing around the living room like a pogo stick wildly screaming.
Then when Kam Bam hit VD, That was full blown HELL YEAH territory.
Still haven't calmed down and I am fixin' to watch it again right now.

Even the diehards have had it with all this police blotter business
Tyler Olander became the second UConn men's basketball player since February to be arrested early Thursday morning, booked for "trespassing in a structure or conveyance" during spring break in Panama City Beach, Fla.
The details: According to two school sources, Olander was trying to get into a hotel party. The sources said a wristband was required for access. Olander couldn't produce one and was uncooperative enough so that the arrest ensued.
It would be easy enough to rain hailstones on Olander for bad judgment, not merely for the arrest but for leaving campus in the first place while rehabilitating an injury. Surely, Olander deserves as many 6 a.m. suicides as coach Kevin Ollie sees fit, once Olander's foot has healed.
Under normal circumstances, Olander's transgression would be filed under "dumb things college kids do." You did them. So did I. We learn the lesson. And we move on.
Except that few programs in the country can match UConn's arrest log in the last 10 years. There was Enosch Wolf, arrested last month for third-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct stemming from a domestic altercation with a woman.
There was former player Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, who was arrested in 2011.
There was Nate Miles, who was arrested for violating a restraining order in 2008.
There were stolen laptops, Marcus Williams, A.J. Price �
The list is an embarrassment.
Maybe that's why even UConn's staunchest defenders have lost patience.
What follows comes from The Boneyard, an Internet haven for UConn fans. I'm friendly with several posters. I can't stand many others. Generally, though, I admire their passion. I root for my teams the same way.
What I expected: Half of them would resort to the persecution complex and the other half would deflect news of Olander's arrest with, "What, we're the only school in the country whose players misbehave?"
Instead, what I found was stunning. The Boneyarders, UConn's No. 1 fans, sure sound as though they've had enough.
A sampling:
• "If it was not for 'Cuse, our program would lead the nation in arrests over the last decade, if it does not already. Pathetic and embarrassing."
• "Enough is enough. Kick Wolf and Tyler off the team. These weekly arrests are totally unacceptable and humiliating for the school. I don't care how minor the charge. Ollie needs to make an example of both that this will not be tolerated."
• "I guess we can't refute our name other schools call us: UConnvicts! We surely seem to want to emulate it. Ugghh! These are JC's recruits so I hope KO is recruiting a different breed."
• "Right now perception is everything for us and these morons are contributing to an already negative national perception. Not a strong message to send to potential conferences."
Hard to argue any of that.
It's worth noting that a small group of fans on the Internet don't necessarily speak for all UConn loyalists. But in this case, I believe they do. Here's why: I called a healthy number of other passionate UConn fans I know on Friday. Their feelings are similar.
I suspect that if fans from another team or a provocative, analytical columnist wrote the same things, the same fans would run to UConn's defense faster than Rob Britt, the attorney always summoned to run to UConn's defense.
But this is from true, blue UConn fans who have spent a decade trying to defend their program. Their comments suggest it's getting harder to defend.
It's sad. I believe in Kevin Ollie's decency. He's a good man who wants to do this the right way. And yet there are two arrests here in the last two months. True, it's not fair to equate Wolf's domestic incident with Olander's just-being-a dumb-college-kid stuff. At some point, though, no one will care to distinguish one arrest from another.
I believe Olander should be punished for embarrassing himself and the school, but should return.
I believe Wolf should be expelled.
But beyond any of our opinions, Ollie needs to convey the message - now - that second chances aren't a guarantee. Start honoring your scholarships, boys. Start honoring your family name, your teammates and your school. UConn is better than this.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.
