While Alec Baldwin keeps us guessing about his political future, he will definitely be talking politics on his new radio show.
In fact, he'll be talking about celebrities and the performing arts as well. Baldwin is preparing for life post-"30 Rock" with a New York public radio show called "Here's the Thing," debuting on Oct. 24, The Associated Press reports.
Baldwin's "number one" interest in creating the podcast "was to find a way where you could talk to people and you don't feel like you have an agenda, and they they wind up saying everything you hoped they would say," he told The New York Times.
The WNYC podcast series will be broadcasted every two weeks and aim to give "the listener unique entree into the lives of artists, policy makers and performers," WNYC describes on their website. Future interviewees include funnyman Chris Rock, political strategist Ed Rollins, actress Kathleen Turner and newlywed reality princess Kim Kardashian.
For its debut episode, WNYC teases Michael Douglas will open up about his father and his cancer diagnosis.
This isn't the award-winning actor's first time on radio. Baldwin also hosts "The New York Philharmonic This Week" on WQXR and has guest hosted "Studio 360 With Kurt Andersen."
As for his political ambitions? The outspoken Democrat told The New York Times it a political career is a possibility "at some point, but what I'm doing now has to end, and it's not ending yet. I'm still finding things I like tot do."

Venerable Hilarion of Pskov, Lake Gdov
Saint Hilarion of Gdov and Pskov Lake, was a disciple of Saint Euphrosynus of Pskov (May 15). In 1460 on the banks of the River Zhelcha, not far from Gdov, he founded the Ozersk [Lake] Monastery of the Protection of the Mother of God. The monastery bordered the territory of the Livonian Knights, and the monks constantly suffered the incursions of that military order. Despite harsh conditions and insufficient means, Saint Hilarion maintained a high level of pious and ascetic life at the monastery, and made great efforts to adorn and build up the monastery.
Saint Hilarion reposed on March 28, 1476 and was buried in the church of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos in the monastery he founded. Afterwards, a church was built at the monastery in honor of the Nativity of Christ. The left chapel was dedicated to the founder of the Gdov monastery. Saint Hilarion of Gdov is also commemorated on October 21, on the Feast of his heavenly patron and namesake.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Benched Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman said he has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and voluntarily entered the NFL substance abuse program more than a year ago after mistakenly taking a medication to treat the condition.
Freeman said Monday night in a statement released by his agent that he has passed all 46 drug tests he's taken for the league since once using Ritalin instead of Adderall to treat ADHD.
The fifth-year pro was benched last Wednesday after leading the Bucs to an 0-3 start that included a pair of losses on last-second field goals.
Freeman said he has been "prescribed and permitted to take medication" to treat ADHD for the entirety of his NFL career.
"Let me be very clear. I have never tested positive for any illegal drugs or related substances," the 2009 first-round draft pick said in the statement released by agent Erik Burkhardt.
The testing has been conducted at the Buccaneers training facility, and Freeman believes someone there leaked information about it.
"Since the confidentiality of my medical status has been publicly violated, I am choosing to address this matter so that grossly erroneous assumptions about me do not persist," the quarterback said.
"Like millions of Americans, I have ADHD and I have been prescribed and permitted to take medication to treat this condition for the entirety of my NFL career. Well over a year ago, I took a different medication for the same condition (Ritalin rather than Adderall), and to assure everyone that the error was a one-time mistake, I agreed to be voluntarily tested.'"
The statement said that since entering the league program Freeman has passed every test he's been given, adding they screen for "every drug and banned substance imaginable."
The quarterback agreed to testing at the Bucs complex "because I spend all of my time there and I have nothing whatsoever to hide or be embarrassed about."
Freeman, who became the first 4,000-yard passer in Bucs history last season, was benched in favor of rookie Mike Glennon, who made his first pro start during Sunday's 13-10 loss to Arizona.
Freeman was declared inactive for the game by coach Greg Schiano and watched from a suite at Raymond James Stadium. In a television interview with ESPN last week, the 25-year-old said a trade might be the best solution for him and the team.
"Unfortunately, it appears that some people who may have noticed the testing at my workplace have made hurtful and incorrect assumptions and chosen to disseminate inaccurate and very disturbing information," Freeman said.
"It is a shame that when times have gotten tough, people have chosen to attack the character of others, rather than supporting each other," the statement added. "I remain dedicated and focused to being the best quarterback I can be and to help a team win a championship."

It's been a little over a week since Meta first went live, and what a week it as been! When Jeff and I talked about creating a meta-discussion site based off of the SO engine, he asked if I could identify some places where the Q&A needed to be tweaked to better support discussion, so I sent him an email that contained a few ideas that he included in the inaugural blog entry. One week in, I think it's a good idea to review them, remove the ones that are unnecessary, and add additional ones that have become apparent:
bounties make little sense on a discussion site
I still agree with this statement. I don't think that bounties fit well with subjective discussion, and I'm not sure offering bounties for feature requests is a good idea, though Jon Skeet has proposed setting using the bounty system to indicate increased interest in feature requests (and I'd get you a link if I could find it)
wording needs to be tweaked (i.e. questions->topics, answers->replies)
I still think this is a good idea. Though there has been much more Q&A here than I expected, there are also feature requests, announcements, and general fun topics that don't follow the Q&A format, so more neutral language is probably a good idea.
need to be able to follow questions/get notices of additional replies
On a discussion site, you often want to follow topics you've participated in. The current system allows for notification of new replies if you're the topic owner, but if you're just a participant you have to manually check back.
remove notion of community wiki, as discussion sites have a stronger sense of ownership, plus nothing will be off-topic
I've actually done a complete 180 on this and I think that we should definitely keep community wiki. However, it should only be used if the post needs to be edited by others (such as for faq posts). This is actually what CW was originally for - to allow people to collaborate in a Wiki-like fashion. Sadly, on SO, it has taken on the dual-role of being for subjective/off-topic posts, due to its reputation-negating properties.
I should also clarify what I mean by "nothing will be off topic". I certainly don't want Meta to become a free-for-all, and it's certainly possible to be off-topic. However, since reputation here doesn't mean what it means on SO or SF, it's OK to post fun questions and get rep from them. So the question becomes whether or not to close as off-topic, not whether or not the post should be CW.
ensure that chronological ordering is the default, if not the only, sort order, both for replies and comments
Jeff's already shot this one down. The reason I included it is because I envisioned people replying to other people in their own reply (like more conventional discussion boards) and it would be important to be able to see the context in which the reply was created when reading the topic. However, as Jeff has said,
<blockquote> is your friend
so this feature may not be necessary.
remove accepting an answer
I've also changed my mind on this. Though it has slightly different semantics here on Meta, I do think that the ability of the topic starter to select a reply that has resolved their issue is important.
some of the close reasons will have to be removed or tweaked
This has already been more or less done, with the removal of "subjective and argumentative" and "not a real question".
Please let me know if you agree or disagree with anything you see here. Also, please feel free to submit your own proposals for changes!

Grape seed shows small effect on blood pressure
By Amy Norton
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Grape seed extract is marketed as a way to guard your heart health, but clinical trials so far suggest the supplement has small effects on blood pressure and heart rate, a new review finds.
Pooling the results from nine clinical trials, researchers found that on average grape seed extract shaved about 1.5 points from people's systolic blood pressure -- the top number in a blood pressure reading.
The supplement also slowed users' heart rate down by an average of 1.4 beats per minute compared with a dummy pill.
Those effects are modest -- though still potentially meaningful, according to senior researcher Craig I. Coleman, an associate professor at the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy in Storrs.
He noted that past studies have estimated that a blood pressure reduction of just 3 points can trim the risk of premature death among people who have heart disease or have suffered a stroke.
"Not huge reductions," Coleman told Reuters Health in an email, "but not inconsequential either."
Still, diet changes -- like reducing sodium and getting plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein -- have shown bigger effects on blood pressure numbers. So too have blood pressure medications, which some people may need to get their numbers under control.
Even more importantly, those steps may help prevent heart disease and stroke.
"Unlike diet and exercise," Coleman said, "there is no data with grape seed extract showing it will reduce patients' risk of heart attacks or strokes."
Among healthy seniors, the risk of stroke is generally low even with high blood pressure. Over 10 years, for instance, a 60-year-old man who doesn't smoke and doesn't have diabetes has a 3-to-10 percent chance of suffering a stroke, depending on his blood pressure.
For women, the risk is even lower. You can take a closer look at your own risk here: http://1.usa.gov/191PWr.
A number of studies have linked moderate wine intake with a lower risk of heart problems. That does not prove that wine deserves the credit, but researchers suspect there might be a heart benefit from the antioxidants found in wine. Antioxidants are substances that protect body cells from the damage that can eventually contribute to a range of diseases.
The rationale behind studying grape seed extract is that the supplement could offer those antioxidants in a more concentrated form -- without the alcohol.
For their review, which appears in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Coleman and his colleagues combined the results of nine clinical trials where people were randomly assigned to take grape seed extract or not.
Some trials included healthy people, while others focused on those with heart disease risk factors, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes.
The studies lasted for anywhere from two weeks to six months, and the daily dose of grape seed extract ranged between 150 and 2,000 milligrams.
Overall, Coleman's team found, grape seed extract seemed to have a small effect on systolic blood pressure and heart rate, but no clear impact on cholesterol levels or diastolic blood pressure (the second number in a blood pressure reading).
Grape seed extract is considered generally safe, and a month's supply costs around $10. Some of the side effects that have been seen in studies include headache, dizziness, indigestion and a dry, itchy scalp.
But there is little known about the supplement's safety with long-term use (beyond a couple months). And it's not clear how it might interact with medications -- including drugs people may be taking to manage their heart risk factors.
Coleman said that, in theory, grape seed extract could increase the odds of bleeding. So it might be wise for people on aspirin or other drugs that "thin" the blood to avoid the supplement.
As far as effectiveness, Coleman suggested that people stick with the tried-and-true.
"People need to follow lifestyle and diet advice of their doctors," he said. "These measures will be far more effective that using grape seed extract."

Salute gentlemen! Since we have an open weekend between the end of Jasta 5's Black September Campaign and the start of the Flanders in Flames Campaign next weekend, we will feature a Vintage Mission Weekend for all those looking for action with missions all day Saturday and Sunday.
Mission Schedule - #1
Saturday- 1600GMT - Battle of Sissone - November 1916
Intel report: Recent Intelligence reports indicate that the Germans might prepare a counter attack after our failed offensive. A lot of troop movements have been spotted just behind their lines. French escadrilles stationed at Bonnemaison Ferme are operating from forward airfields at Vauxcere and Maizy. In a desperate attempt to prevent an immedaite counter attack, the scouts are ordered to strafe the enemy transports. German HQ is anxious to know what the state is of the French defences therefore a photo recon mission has been requested. If the recon is succesful, German bombers are to attack targets behind the French lines. How to complete a recon sortie: Take the special recon plane (Recon Plane 1) and fly to one of the endpoints of the recon area at the designated height (see map). Follow subtitles. You must land at an active airfield.
Mission objectives:
-Entente forces will attack enemy transports, vehicles, and trains.
-Central Forces will have to defend and recon the enemy lines.
Weather report: 5/8 cloud cover at 1200m. Hazy. Wind is 3-5 meters per second, from the West.
Mission #2 - Die Kaiserschlacht- March 29, 1918
Location: Front lines between Bapaume and Marchelepot, north of the Somme.
Mission objectives: Each side will have 6 primary targets to destroy, indicated by a flag on the map. Before a target becomes active, it has to be reconnoitered by making 10 photographs. The flag will then turn red. When a primary target has been destroyed, the flag will be removed from the map. Secundary targets are any vehicle, trains or tanks and balloons in enemy territory. When 2 (more) enemy targets are destroyed, new airfields will be activated with different plane types. -For photo recon missions only the designated planes "Recon" can trigger the photo sequence! -Photo recons need to land safely at an active base to complete their mission!
Winning conditions: Complete all six objectives first.
Weather report: Overcast with light rain, ceiling at 2000m. Wind 3-4 m/s, from the North.
Mission #3 - Armentieres - June 26, 1918

Mission objectives
Allies: 29 Squadron has orders to bomb German artillery before starting their Offensive Patrol over the lines. 79 Squadon will fly top cover. The DH4's of 25 squadron have as their primary target Lomme airfield and as a secundary target the enemy artillery batteries.
Central: Jasta 7 and 40 are ordered to intercept enemy aircraft crossing the lines as well as to protect their two-seaters. Schlasta 25 is ordered to attack ground targets of opportunity behind the lines.
Weather report: Cloud base at 1400m. Wind 2 meters per second, from the South West.
Sunday Mission Start - 1700 GMT
Bombers Channel - Summer September, 1917

|Orange Honey Christmas Braid
The dough for this bread is pretty easy to make. It can also be made in a bread maker, which I sometimes do. I put all the ingredients into the machine and it does the initial work. I set it for dough and when it is done rising, I take it out of the bread maker and roll it. Whether you use a bread maker or not this is a delicious holiday bread.
This Christmas Eve my daughter and her family will be with us, along with one of my sons. We will also be joined by other family members, gathering to share family stories, remembering those who won't be with us, eat wonderful food, and share the excitement of a child's joy at Christmas!
As you hang your stockings this Christmas Eve, here's hoping Santa brings you everything you're wishing for. And may a peaceful blessed Christmas be yours!

Ozone is a well known sanitation agent used for water treatment. Ozone is derived from the atmospheric air and can be dissolved in water for disinfection purposes
The poisonous gas ozone is produced by passing oxygen through a high intensity electrical field. In this way the oxygen gas is changed to ozone gas. Ozone is highly reactive and short lived. Under normal conditions it will only survive for minutes in the atmosphere.
Once generated, ozone must be used immediately as it breaks down rapidly to oxygen. Ozone is the strongest oxidation compound in water treatment. Thus it can be used to kill germs and remove other organic compounds in short time.
• Effective against free bacteria floating in the water
• Low life cycle cost
• Smell and taste of the water is not affected
• Not sensitive to pH-value of the water
• No chemical except oxygen remains in treated water
• Biofilm in hot water tank and pipes are not affected
• No long term effect on bacteria
• Needs a post filtration system that may include an activate carbon filter.
• Ozonation by-products may be carcinogenic and may include brominated compounds
• Ozone is badly soluble in water and therefore special mixing techniques are needed
• An ozone treatment system may require pre-treatment for hardness reduction or the additional of polyphosphate preventing formation of carbonate scale.

I've been fighting a running battle with xs.to these days, trying to scout out all the images that expired and are being replaced with a giant postcard-sized advertisement for their site. Some of those pages are almost three years old, and if it's possible, I'd like to either make new screenshots or take out the image tags.
And besides, I've been running an ad-free blog for years (unless you count the four or five shameless product endorsements), and I'm not going to start advertising now. (Although the crafty ad feeders keep telling me I could make as much in traffic here as I do in my real-life job. 😯 )
If you see a page of interest that is showing a filler and not a screenshot, please send me a note. I'm in the mood to redecorate, and the first things that need to go are the dead images. Thanks. 😉

A Unified Theory Explaining YOUR BRAINS!
Dear Tom and Ray,
I couldn't believe my eyes. There in the January 24th edition of the NY Times was an article talking about Gray Matter and the Sexes. As a result of Hahvahd President Laurence Summers noticing a difference between the minds of men and women, the scientific community has been in an uproar over "nature vs. nurture" to account for observed differences of the sexes. Which then led the NY Times reporters to notice the following:
"Among college bound seniors who took the math SATs in 2001, for example, nearly twice as many boys as girls scored over 700, and the ratio skews ever more male the closer one gets to the top tally of 800. Boys are also likelier than girls to get nearly all the answers wrong.
"For Dr. Summers and others, the overwhelmingly male tails of the bell curve may be telling. Such results, taken together with assorted other neuro-curiosities like the comparatively greater number of boys with learning disorders, autism and attention deficit disorder, suggest to them that the male brain is a delicate object, inherently prone to extremes, both of incompetence and of genius."
THERE IT IS! A single sentence that explains both the brilliance we come to expect from you every week, AND the bogus effluent we hear spewing from our radios on Saturday mornings. "The male brain is a delicate object, inherently prone to extremes, both of incompetence and of genius."
What else can anyone say? It is no coincidence, I'm sure, that both of you and Dr. Summers reside in close proximity to each other. After all, birds of a feather flock together. We are left to sort the rare gems from the pile of manure weekly.

Considering it's over ten years old, the piece is surprisingly frank and revealing about the covert methods which the shadow govt uses to undermine "enemy" peoples (tho it refrains from including its own citizens among the target groups).
Here's some sample bits for those not up to reading the full piece:
In this age of television-series franchising, videos, and satellite dishes, this young, embittered male gets his skewed view of us from reruns of Dynasty and Dallas, or from satellite links beaming down Baywatch, sources we dismiss too quickly as laughable and unworthy of serious consideration as factors influencing world affairs. But their effect is destructive beyond the power of words to describe. Hollywood goes where Harvard never penetrated, and the foreigner, unable to touch the reality of America, is touched by America's irresponsible fantasies of itself; he sees a devilishly enchanting, bluntly sexual, terrifying world from which he is excluded, a world of wealth he can judge only in terms of his own poverty.
Most citizens of the globe are not economists; they perceive wealth as inelastic, its possession a zero-sum game. If decadent America (as seen on the screen) is so fabulously rich, it can only be because America has looted one's own impoverished group or country or region. Adding to the cognitive dissonance, the discarded foreigner cannot square the perceived moral corruption of America, a travesty of all he has been told to value, with America's enduring punitive power. How could a nation whose women are "all harlots" stage Desert Storm? It is an offense to God, and there must be a demonic answer, a substance of conspiracies and oppression in which his own secular, disappointing elite is complicit. This discarded foreigner's desire may be to attack the "Great Satan America," but America is far away (for now), so he acts violently in his own neighborhood. He will accept no personal guilt for his failure, nor can he bear the possibility that his culture "doesn't work." The blame lies ever elsewhere. The cult of victimization is becoming a universal phenomenon, and it is a source of dynamic hatreds.
It is fashionable among world intellectual elites to decry "American culture," with our domestic critics among the loudest in complaint. But traditional intellectual elites are of shrinking relevance, replaced by cognitive-practical elites--figures such as Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, Madonna, or our most successful politicians--human beings who can recognize or create popular appetites, recreating themselves as necessary. Contemporary American culture is the most powerful in history, and the most destructive of competitor cultures. While some other cultures, such as those of East Asia, appear strong enough to survive the onslaught by adaptive behaviors, most are not. The genius, the secret weapon, of American culture is the essence that the elites despise: ours is the first genuine people's culture. It stresses comfort and convenience--ease--and it generates pleasure for the masses. We are Karl Marx's dream, and his nightmare.
Ours is also the first culture that aims to include rather than exclude. The films most despised by the intellectual elite--those that feature extreme violence and to-the-victors-the-spoils sex--are our most popular cultural weapon, bought or bootlegged nearly everywhere. American action films, often in dreadful copies, are available from the Upper Amazon to Mandalay. They are even more popular than our music, because they are easier to understand. The action films of a Stallone or Schwarzenegger or Chuck Norris rely on visual narratives that do not require dialog for a basic understanding. They deal at the level of universal myth, of pre-text, celebrating the most fundamental impulses (although we have yet to produce a film as violent and cruel as the Iliad). They feature a hero, a villain, a woman to be defended or won--and violence and sex. Complain until doomsday; it sells. The enduring popularity abroad of the shopworn Rambo series tells us far more about humanity than does a library full of scholarly analysis.
When we speak of a global information revolution, the effect of video images is more immediate and intense than that of computers. Image trumps text in the mass psyche, and computers remain a textual outgrowth, demanding high-order skills: computers demarcate the domain of the privileged. We use technology to expand our wealth, power, and opportunities. The rest get high on pop culture. If religion is the opium of the people, video is their crack cocaine. When we and they collide, they shock us with violence, but, statistically, we win.
As more and more human beings are overwhelmed by information, or dispossessed by the effects of information-based technologies, there will be more violence. Information victims will often see no other resort. As work becomes more cerebral, those who fail to find a place will respond by rejecting reason. We will see countries and continents divide between rich and poor in a reversal of 20th-century economic trends. Developing countries will not be able to depend on physical production industries, because there will always be another country willing to work cheaper. The have-nots will hate and strive to attack the haves. And we in the United States will continue to be perceived as the ultimate haves. States will struggle for advantage or revenge as their societies boil. Beyond traditional crime, terrorism will be the most common form of violence, but transnational criminality, civil strife, secessions, border conflicts, and conventional wars will continue to plague the world, albeit with the "lesser" conflicts statistically dominant. In defense of its interests, its citizens, its allies, or its clients, the United States will be required to intervene in some of these contests. We will win militarily whenever we have the guts for it.
There will be no peace. At any given moment for the rest of our lifetimes, there will be multiple conflicts in mutating forms around the globe. Violent conflict will dominate the headlines, but cultural and economic struggles will be steadier and ultimately more decisive. The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing.

kevint2005,Sad to tell you. Michelle is a mactor too. She's a model and commercial actress. She's now based in Philippines.. Manila I think for an acting career.But, I do have to say that AD and Fuzzie and Adrian and Collin were no mactors. I think they must put semi-mactors on the show to make sure people from countries like Philippines/Thailand/Malaysia watch the programme. That's where most of their ratings come from. They don't really care whether the Singaporean team is a mactor team or not because I think they get less than 500k viewers here anyway for the show.

Goldman Sachs to leave crime scene, exit CSI?November 29, 2012: 12:39 PM ET
Goldman Sachs (GS) has been part of the crime scene -- CBS' CSI: Crime Scene Investigation franchise, that is -- since 2007. Now, the investment banking behemoth may be ready to flee the scene.
After owning 50% of one of this decade's most popular television franchises, the bank's private equity arm, GS Capital Partners, is looking to make a quick getaway.
GS Capital Partners has been talking to potential buyers for weeks weeks, according to a source with knowledge of the process. Variety Magazine first reported the potential sale and said the bank is seeking $500 million, which could value the franchise at $1 billion. Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
Related: Why old media stocks are on top today
CBS (CBS), which owns the remaining 50%, controls all the creative elements and distribution of the franchise, and that arrangement is unlikely to be upended if Goldman sells its stake.
CSI launched in October 2000, with CSI: Las Vegas, which gained a strong following. CBS capitalized on that popularity with CSI: NY and CSI: Miami, which CBS canceled in May. That franchise now runs in syndication, as well as through Netflix (NFLX).
Goldman has made a series of forays into the entertainment space over the years. GS Capital Partners has held stakes in the Yankees' YES Network, which it recently sold to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (NWSA), as well as in Village Voice Media, a company that allegedly ran a site used for sex trafficking. GS Capital Partners exited Village Voice in April 2012.
As part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform, banks have been forced to scale back investments in private equity. Going forward the bank can invest no more than 3% of a fund's overall capital. Ahead of the new rules, the bank invested between 15% and 30% of the fund's capital.

Kevin Hart is so much more than just a comedian. The actor debuts a more dramatic role in latest film The Upside across Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman. In the movie, the funnyman plays Dell, a struggling parolee who's trying to reconnect with his ex and young son and finds himself attending as a caretaker to Phillip, a wealthy quadriplegic who needs help with his day-to-day routine in his New York penthouse.
"I wanted Bryan to understand this was something I was taking very serious," Kevin told Ryan Seacrest on-air on Friday, January 11. "This was an opportunity for me to take a step in another direction of acting and show that I have the chops to do some dramatic stuff … and for me [to] gave my fan base a different glimpse of the other side of my talent."
The comedian explained the movie is a story of friendship.
"[It's about how] these two men come from two completely different sides of the world and have no understanding for each other's lives or background and … through conversation and understanding, they develop this relationship and have a more powerful understanding of just what they never knew," Kevin continued. "… I think it's a movie we needed today … you really shouldn't judge a book by the cover until you understand what's inside of it."
The role comes amid the news of Kevin stepping down from hosting The Oscars following controversy over the star's past tweets.
"I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's....this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past," he previously said in a statement. "I'm sorry that I hurt people. I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again."
Ryan asked Kevin if he'll be watching the awards show.
"I mean, you know, I'll probably check it out to see what's going on, but it's not a priority," Kevin concluded. "It's not like on my recording [list]."
Listen back to the full interview in the audio above for more, including to find out what Kevin thinks about Bachelor Colton Underwood!

All students are required to make a "self-investment" in their education. Student loans play a significant role in financing the education of Cal Maritime students. Federal Direct Stafford Loans and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) are the best loans that students and their families can receive because they are federally regulated. For more information on the Federal Loan Programs click here.
Always remember that they are loans that must be repaid. Failure to repay these loans can result in loan default, resulting in many years without the use of credit. To see how borrowing loans will impact you after you graduate, calculate your estimate monthly payment by using this loan calculator.
Subsidized Loans are government insured, long-term, low-interest loans for eligible undergraduate students. The federal government pays the interest on the loan while the student remains enrolled in college at least half-time or more. Repayment begins six months after graduation or separation. The standard repayment period is 10 years, however students can take longer, if needed. Loans for the 2020-21 award year has an interest rate during repayment of 2.75%.
An undergraduate student may borrow up to $3,500 for the first year of study, up to $4,500 for the second year, and up to $5,500 for the third through fifth years.
Unsubsidized loans are long-term, low-interest loans for eligible undergraduate and graduate students who generally do not qualify for other need-based financial assistance or students who need loan assistance beyond the maximums provided by the subsidized loan program. Students can pay the interest while in school, or defer payments until the loan goes into repayment. Repayment on the loan begins six months after graduation or separation. The standard repayment period is 10 years, however students can take longer, if needed. Loans for the 2020-21 award year has an interest rate of 2.75%.
A Dependent Undergraduate student may borrower up to $2,000 and an Independent Undergraduate may borrower up to $7,000 depending on academic level.
Aggregate Federal Loan Limits: The combined total of the Stafford Loan and Unsubsidized Stafford loan may not exceed regular Stafford loan limits ($31,000 for undergraduates, $57,500 for independent undergraduates, and $138,500 for combined undergraduate/graduate loan debt).
PLUS loans are government-insured, long-term, low-interest loans for eligible parents of dependent, undergraduate students who generally do not qualify for other financial assistance. Parents may borrow up to the total cost of their dependent student's education minus any other aid for which the students are eligible. Please make sure to start this process well before the Fall payment is due in early August. It usually takes a minimum of seven business days to complete the credit check and Promissory Note needed to secure the loan.
PLUS loans borrowed for the 2020-21 year have an interest rate of 5.30%. Repayment begins 60 days after the funds are fully disbursed (usually towards the middle of Spring term), and the repayment term is 10 years. Parents have the option of deferring repayment on Parent PLUS loans while the student is in-school and for a six-month grace period after the student graduates or drops below full-time enrollment.
To qualify for a PLUS loan, parents must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen, have a valid social security number and pass a credit check. The PLUS loan application can be found here.
For the credit check, parents generally must not have any outstanding tax liens, unpaid judgments, delinquent or defaulted loans, extensive credit card debt, bankruptcy, foreclosure or wage garnishment within the past five years. Parents who cannot pass the credit check may still be able to receive a PLUS loan if they know someone who can pass the credit check and is willing to co-sign their loan.
Dependent students whose parents have been denied a PLUS loan may be eligible to apply for additional Unsubsidized Loan.
Complete the on-line credit check and application HERE.
In addition to the federal loan program, many lenders offer alternative educational loans. If you will be applying for a private loan, be sure to read the terms of the loan, and students will need to complete a FAFSA to determine their eligibility for federal loans.
Federal Student Loans are required by law to provide a range of flexible repayment options, including but not limited to, income-based repayment and income contingent repayment plans, and loan forgiveness benefits which other student loans are not required to do. Federal loans are available to students regardless of income.
Discover Student Loans - Undergraduate and Graduate Student
Sallie Mae - Smart Option Student Loans
Wells Fargo - Collegiate Loans (no loans available to new borrowers)
LendKey - Private Student Loans
College Ave - Undergrad, Grad and Parent Private Loans
Citizens Bank - Undergrad, Grad and Parent Private Loans
SoFi Lending Corp - Private Student Loans
California Coast Credit Union - Private Student Loans
Please contact the lender, directly, to confirm current terms and conditions of their loan programs.
We have provided you with a list of historical lenders. This is not a preferred list as the student has the ability to choose any lender he or she prefers. For more information regarding Federal and Private loans please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Chicago, Illinois
Sacred Heart Mission Parish serves as the center of Polish worship and culture in the Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago. In 1934, Polish Jesuits arrived in the city to establish a successful mission to serve Catholic Polish immigrants. Sacred Heart Mission on the city's northwest side provides all Masses in Polish to best meet the needs of its community.
For many years, Sacred Heart's small chapel served the faithful Polish community, but over time, it was no longer able to accommodate the increasing number of Poles in the Chicago area. In 2001, the Jesuit Millennium Center (JOM) was opened, with the main area of the center dedicated to the place of worship, the Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. JOM serves 4,500 people each weekend for Mass.
The center is also the site of many cultural and educational events for the Polish community. It houses a library, photography and computer courses and an auditorium for concert performances.

Implementing Thread Local Storage on OS X
Many programming languages allow defining global data with simple declarations like:
int x = 3;
This global data is, well, global and is accessible to any thread started up by that program. This is called implicit sharing. But since there is no inherent synchronization to accessing it, all kinds of inadvertent threading problems can arise from using it.
One way to resolve this is for each thread to have its own distinct and separate copy of the data. This is called TLS (Thread Local Storage). In C, TLS is declared in different ways depending upon your particular compiler and system. For example, under Windows it is typical to see:
__declspec(thread) int x = 3;
and on Linux:
__thread int x = 3;
There's special support for TLS wired into the compiler, linker and operating system to handle the allocation, initialization and access to TLS so your source code can refer to x just like any other global variable. The benchmarks I've run on Windows and Linux show that TLS access is not significantly different from a performance standpoint than regular global data (although the code generated is different, and varies from system to system).
Version 2 of the D programming language reverses this idiom and makes TLS the default for global data:
int x = 3; // x is thread local
and implicitly shared global data has to be declared specially:
shared int x = 3; // x is shared between threads
The idea is that in order to support multithreaded programming properly, implicitly shared data should require extra programming effort. But that's a topic for another time, this article is about implementing TLS.
D is meant to work hand-in-glove with the local C compiler on the same system, so that means D implements TLS in the same manner, and is completely compatible with, TLS on the C compiler. The problem, though, crops up on the Mac OS X, where:
__thread int x = 3;
gives the error message from gcc:
error: thread-local storage not supported for this target
Uh-oh, weez in trouble. We need to roll our own.
The general idea is that every thread, when created, gets its own copy of a block of data that is statically initialized at program start. This original block is read only and is not normally accessible by program code.
The first step is to emit all the thread local data into special segments, which will form this original block. I picked the names __tls_data (for initialized data) and __tls_coal_nt (for "coalesced" data) more or less at random. Because the runtime needs to find the beginning and end of the TLS data, these are bracketed by the segments __tls_beg which contains a declaration of a void*-sized _tls_beg, and __tls_end similarly containing a declaration of a void*-sized _tls_end. We can refer to them in D code with the declarations:
extern (C)
extern __gshared
void* _tls_beg;
void* _tls_end;
(The __gshared storage class exists to tell the compiler this is shared data but not to type it as shared - let the programmer handle all the details.)
When a thread is created at run time, the code is:
const sz = cast(void*) &_tls_end - cast(void*) &_tls_beg;
auto p = malloc( sz );
assert( p );
obj.m_tls = p[0 .. sz];
memcpy( p, &_tls_beg, sz );
scope (exit) { free( p ); obj.m_tls = null; }
which does:
- Determine the size of the thread local data block
- Allocate a block to hold the TLS
- Save a pointer to the TLS in obj (the thread instance object)
- Initialize the TLS with the global data from the tls segment
- The scope(exit) statement makes sure to free the TLS data when the thread ends
(There's a little more falderol than that, involving the TLS constructors and destructors, handling exceptions, etc., that's beyond the scope of this article.)
Accessing the TLS now involves a runtime computation to figure out where the TLS for the current thread is, its offset from where the original block is, and adding that offset to the static address of the tls variable. Thus, a reference to x is
rewritten as:
x => *__tls_get_addr(&x)
The compiler is done. (Weeell, the compiler does note that __tls_get_addr() always returns the same value for the same argument, so it is smart enough to common subexpression references to x.) For runtime, implement the function as:
void* ___tls_get_addr( void* p )
auto obj = Thread.getThis();
return obj.m_tls.ptr + (p - cast(void*) &_tls_beg);
All this function does is get the thread object (obj) for the current thread, look up where the TLS data is for that thread, and do a little arithmetic to offset and return the pointer.
Voila! It's done, and works like a champ. Almost; my benchmarks show it to be 10 times slower than a simple access to a shared global. (The benchmark is just a simple loop repeatedly reading a TLS variable.) I don't think there's much to be done about it, because the whole reason that Windows and Linux have TLS support wired into the operating system is to make it fast. If OS X eventually does support TLS, we'll have to scrap our version and switch, but that's the life of the language implementer. The important thing is that D programs using TLS are completely source portable between Windows, Linux and now OS X.
Thanks to Jason House and Bartosz Milewski for their helpful suggestions on this

i prefer a REAL coding language. you know, like C++, isnt LISP like all those candy scripting languages? like python and LUA. you know, that people kinda use but not for anything particularly great, or just use it to prototpye what can be made more powerfully in C or even J...if you on a mac, i have no respect for you.if you are on linux, thats nice. couldnt afford a real operating system?if you are on ReactOS, its still in alpha bub, might as well be using windows...Sun Microsystems OS. thats nice, i spose...i could continue with alternate OSs, but thats alot more likely to bust the char-cap than 157,000,000...also, i trust if your using linux, its ubuntu right? its kinda like vista, but even less Commercial, end-user quality software runs on it. and even less games...though the whole nerd stigma against windows is fukkin lame.successful software developers develop for windows, port to mac if they care enough... IE; MS office: mac edition...
My family need to learn to either, make sure they have my attention when talking to me while I have my headphones on, or stop telling me that I'm purposely ignoring them, while I have the the headphones on. It's not my fucking fault that you decided to talk to me while I am absorbed in what I'm doing with music on.
My dog ate my cellphonephone... ;_;
Not appendicitis, just my uterus.
Porn artists.Oh God.Please.IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRAW INTERNAL SHOTS, LEARN HOW THE FUCK IT WORKS.The uterus is not a big empty balloon that anyone will be invading with a penis or a giant spray of ejaculate. If you're expecting to get through the cervix, which has a tiny hole in it, good fucking luck. I hope your dreams are devastated and you get slapped in the face. With a foot.AW HELLS YEAH INTERNAL SHOTS. GOOD GOING AT ABSOLUTELY FAILING ANATOMY.
Yeah, well, he wasn't that great to begin with. I didn't say that.:x

A young couple wanted to join a church, the pastor told them, "We have a special requirement for new member couples. You must abstain from sex for one whole month."
The couple agreed, but after two-and-a-half weeks returned to the Church. When the Pastor ushered them into his office, the wife was crying and the husband was obviously very depressed.
"You're back so soon... Is there a problem?", the pastor inquired.
"We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month", the young man replied sadly.
The pastor asked him what happened.
"Well, the first week was difficult, however, we managed to obstain through sheer willpower."
"The second week was terrible, but with the use of prayer, we managed to abstain."
"However, the third week was unbearable. We tried cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible; anything to keep our minds off carnal thoughts."
"One afternoon my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and I just had my way with her right then and there. It was lustful, loud, passionate sex. It lasted for over an hour and when we were done we were both drenched in sweat." admitted the man, shamefacedly.
The pastor lowered his head and said sternly, "You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church."
"We know." said the young man, hanging his head, "We're not welcome at Home Depot either."

Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #5. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the shipyard that was constructing the remaining two vessels in the Company's nearly completed 24-vessel domestic newbuild program that it was terminating the construction contracts for such vessels. As of the date of the contract termination, the two remaining vessels, both of which are 400 class MPSVs, were projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. Due to the uncertainty of the timing and location of future construction activities, these vessels are currently projected to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2020, respectively. The Company has conservatively projected to incur the remaining cash outlays associated with this program during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020, as set forth below. On
As noted above, the Company owns 66 new generation OSVs and eight MPSVs as of

Attached Data Tables
The Company has posted an electronic version of the following four pages of data tables, which are downloadable in Microsoft Excel™ format, on the "Investors" homepage of the Hornbeck Offshore website for the convenience of analysts and investors.
In addition, the Company uses its website as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with disclosure obligations under SEC Regulation FD. Such disclosures will be included on the Company's website under the heading "Investors." Accordingly, investors should monitor that portion of the Company's website, in addition to following the Company's press releases,
Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons, including impacts from changes in oil and natural gas prices in the U.S. and worldwide; continued weakness in demand and/or pricing for the Company's services through and beyond the maturity of any of the Company's long-term debt; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or vessel management contracts or failures to finalize commitments to charter or manage vessels; continued weak capital spending by customers on offshore exploration and development; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; sustained weakness in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling units operating in the GoM or other regions where the Company operates; the Company's inability to successfully complete the final two vessels of its current vessel newbuild program on-budget, including any failure or refusal by the issuer of performance bonds to cover cost overruns that may result at a completion shipyard; the inability to successfully market the vessels that the Company owns, is constructing or might acquire; the government's cancellation or non-renewal of the management, operations and maintenance contracts for non-owned vessels; an oil spill or other significant event in
Regulation G Reconciliation
This Press Release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and, therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to such measure is cash flows provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the

Colorado Springs — Tucanos Brazilian Grill
Welcome to our Colorado Springs location by the Cinemax IMAX Theaters. Come visit us and experience all the festive and mouth-watering Brazilian cuisine you can eat. If you're not already a member of ClubTucanos, be sure to register and receive a free meal in the month of your birthday as well as other delicious dining features throughout the year.
Dining Experience
We offer CHURRASCO (shoe-HAS-ko) style dining, where fresh meats and vegetables are grilled and brought directly to your table by our meat servers. While your Tucanos Cue remains green side up, our meat servers will continue to bring fresh selection of meats and vegetables to your table. When you have finished or would like a break, simply turn your Tucanos Cue red side up and our meat servers will skip your table.
Salad Festival
Though sometimes our tasty meats take front stage, we are also famous for our Salad Festival. It features both Brazilian and American specialties, providing a fusion of distinct flavors, textures and colors. Festival selections include the Tucanos House Salad, hearts of palm, shrimp, seasonal fruit selections, fresh mozzarella, quail eggs and many other items. Hot selections such as seasoned rice, pastas, potatoes, stroganoff, feijoada (a traditional black bean stew) and freshly made soups including lobster bisque are also available on the salad festival to accompany the meat selections. New Salad festival selections are continually added to ensure freshness and variety.
Full Bar
Our Colorado Springs restaurant also features a full bar with cocktail tables and a heated outside patio area. It is a great place for after-work cocktail parties, gathering before catching a movie next door, or while waiting on a table for your party.

We thought we would share some videos of Tucanos in the news. The following videos cover our dining experience and Grand Opening Charity Celebration on April 26th, 2012! To learn more about the charities, visit http://www.tucanos.com/turnitup
Tucanos in The Gazette
The Gazette wrote an article about our new restaurant opening in Colorado Springs. We are excited about our Grand Opening on April 5th and thought you may enjoy reading the article. Below is a excerpt and a link to full article
Tucanos Brazilian Grill, a Brazilian steak house, opens Thursday at the First & Main Town Center, southeast of Powers Boulevard and North Carefree Circle on the Springs' east side. It's the first Colorado location for the small Lakewood-based chain, which has four restaurants in Albuquerque, N.M.; Boise, Idaho; Provo, Utah; and Salt Lake City.
Like other Brazilian steak houses, Tucanos is known for its all-you-can-eat option; meats, vegetables and pineapples are grilled on skewers, brought to tables and sliced onto diners' plates. A buffet style food bar also offers Brazilian and American items, including fresh salads, fruits, pastas, breads, potatoes and soups.

...how to find SYN packets directed to natted addresses where an attempt was made to connect or scan a service natted to an internal resource. I used this filter for addresses located in the range 192.168.25.6 to 192.168.25.35.
The proposed answer is this:
tcpdump -nr file '((ip[16:2] = 0xc0a8 and ip[18] = 0x19 and ip[19] > 0x06)\
and (ip[16:2] = 0xc0a8 and ip[18] = 0x19 and ip[19] < 0x23) and tcp[13] = 0x02)'
I am sure it's clear to everyone what that means!
Given my low success rate in getting comments posted to the SANS ISC blog, I figured I would reply here.
Last fall I wrote Using Wireshark and Tshark display filters for troubleshooting. Wireshark display filters make writing such complex Berkeley Packet Filter syntax a thing of the past.
Using Wireshark display filters, a mere mortal could write the following:
tshark -nr file 'tcp.flags.syn and (ip.dst > 192.168.25.6 and ip.dst < 192.168.25.35)'
Note that if you want to be inclusive, change the > to >= and the < to <= .
To show that my filter works, I ran the filter against a file with traffic on my own 192.168.2.0/24 network, so I altered the last two octets to match my own traffic.
$ tshark -nr test.pcap 'tcp.flags.syn and (ip.dst > 192.168.2.103 and ip.dst < 192.168.2.106)'
137 2009-06-28 16:21:44.195504 188.8.131.52 -> 192.168.2.104 HTTP Continuation or non-HTTP traffic
You have plenty of other options, such as ip.src and ip.addr.
Which one do you think is faster to write and easier to understand?

Morning everyone. For this weeks Out of a Hat Creations challenge we are asking you to focus on a bit of sewing in your project. This can be hand sewn or machine sewn. As much or as little as you would like. Projects can be made from card or fabric. The choice is yours. Maybe you have a little project hidden away in cupboard that needs finishing. Now is the time to fish it out and share it with us.
My first project for the challenge is a canvas bag made out of some off cuts and scrap fabric. I lined the inside of the bag with some pale blue gingham.
Last year I purchased an old bag from the charity shop. The handles were perfect it was just the fabric that was a bit…. well "whiffy" for want of a better word!!! lol! I unpicked it, and used the pieces as a pattern which you can see here. The bag above is slightly different without the pleats.
I also made a couple of cards. My crafting and blogging time has been reduced lately so when I get chance to craft I have to go for it.
I went for two different styles. I'm loving this printed fabric tape at the moment.
I think I need to refresh my sewing skills a little bit. The stitching is slightly dubious but oh well tomorrow is another day.
Stamps used: Dress forms, buttons and cotton reels – Chocolate Baroque. The dress makers label – Crafty Individuals.
Happy Crafting everyone.
Best Wishes Florence x
