Harrison Ford may return as Han Solo in new Star Wars
Photo: handout CD
It looks like Harrison Ford will return as Han Solo in the latest Star Wars saga "Star Wars - Episode VII " according to Umberto "El Mayimbe" Gonzalez of Latino Review.
"I did my due diligence, like I do with everything. Triple checked. Legitimate sources. His deal is done," Gonzalez told Fox News Latino.
Tweeting about the news, Gonzalez called the scoop his "Lufthansa heist,"referring to the 1978 robbery of $5 million from the German airline at JFK. "Biggest robbery I ever pulled," he wrote.
Disney confirmed last month that director J.J. Abrams will direct the seventh chapter of the saga. Disney bought Lucasfilm last year and announced it would make new Star Wars films.
Disney has the next Star wars installment slated for a 2015 release.

Society Islands & Tahiti Iti - 7-night Cruise
Big discoveries await you in "Little Tahiti" (Tahiti Iti), the smaller of the two landmasses that comprise the island of Tahiti. No other cruise line offers you the opportunity to explore this region of wild coastline, ancient petroglyphs and marae (temples), and pockets of authentic Polynesian culture. But because The Gauguin is owned by French Polynesia's leading luxury hotel and cruise operator, we are the experts to the region, with resources no one else can match. Come sail the waters of French Polynesia that are our ship's home, and let us give you an unparalleled, comprehensive view of the real Tahiti. This brand-new itinerary also features Bora Bora, Moorea, Huahine, and our own private paradise off the coast of Taha'a.
Day 1 - Embark the m/s Paul Gauguin in Papeete, Tahiti, Society Islands
The islands of Polynesia are a gorgeous collection of volcanic atolls strewn across the grand Pacific Ocean, and the island of Tahiti is the largest of all 118. Explore the dynamic dining, nightlife, and shopping in the capital city of Papeete before embarking on The Gauguin.
Day 2 - Vairao, Tahiti Iti
Pay a rare visit to "Little Tahiti" (Tahiti Iti) on today's full-day call on the port city of Vairao. Those wanting to experience authentic Tahitian culture might visit one of the traditional Polynesian villages that dot the region. Venture to Fenua Aihere to explore caves, petroglyphs, and marae (temples). Or bask on La Plage de Maui (Maui Beach), considered by many to be the best white-sand beach on the entire island.
Day 3 - Huahine, Society Islands
Known as "The Garden Island," Huahine's lush rainforests and dramatic terrain surround sacred sites and legendary landmarks that are among the best-preserved archeological sites in French Polynesia. If Huahine's expansive lagoon is calling your name, enjoy a SCUBA diving excursion or picnic on the beach.
Day 4 - Taha'a (Motu Mahana), Society Islands
Embark on your choice of exciting shore excursions today, or spend your whole day relaxing on Motu Mahana, our very own private islet. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, or simply lounge on the beach with a chilled beverage from our floating bar. Les Gauguines will also be on hand to provide musical entertainment and demonstrate traditional Polynesian crafts. A delicious barbecue lunch is provided.
Day 5 & 6 - Bora Bora, Society Islands
A bucket list destination for many, stunning Bora Bora welcomes you for two full days of exploring lush peaks, white-sand beaches, colorful coral reefs, and romantic lagoons. Experience the natural beauty of the island with an optional snorkeling excursion, sunset jetboat ride, or a helicopter tour that flies you over Bora Bora's iconic Mount Otemanu. You can also spend time at our private beach which offers volleyball, snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding.
Day 7 - Moorea, Society Islands
Vibrant colors abound during the leisurely days in Moorea, in everything from fresh fruits and flowers to multi-hued lagoons, and from spectacular mountain peaks to palm-fringed beaches. Shop for local handicrafts, embark on an optional dolphin-watching expedition with a marine biologist, and sample the local pineapples, said to be the most delicious in all of French Polynesia.
Day 8 - Disembark in Papeete, Tahiti, Society Islands
Tahiti's capital city of Papeete welcomes you back with emerald hillsides, sapphire waters, and warm breezes. If you're not ready for your South Pacific vacation to end, spend a few days here experiencing resorts, spas, restaurants, nightlife, and shopping.

The drought is making us statistic savvy. We know that the water supply level was at 53.4 percent, that we used 6.905 million gallons last Sunday, and that Martha Jefferson Hospital is the biggest water user in the city (UVA's hospital is technically in the county).
Here's another eye-popping statistic to add to the mix: 83 percent of all water withdrawals in the state are used for power generation.
Of the 8.3 billion gallons of water withdrawn each day in Virginia, 6.9 billion go to make electricity, according to the 2001 water resources report from the Department of Environmental Quality, or DEQ.
Those numbers are fueling critics of the three new power plants approved for Central Virginia, particularly Tenaska in Fluvanna, which, along with a sister plant in Buckingham, has state approval to draw, at peak times, 17 million gallons a day from the James River.
Statistics can be misleading, cautions Terry Wagner, director of the DEQ's office of water resource management. For example, while the top water user in the state, Dominion Virginia Power's North Anna Nuclear Power Plant, withdraws 2.048 billion gallons of water a day, "it's not actually water used," says Wagner. "The difference is that 85 to 90 percent of the water is returned to the stream or a lake."
That knocks North Anna's consumption down to a still-staggering 204 million gallons a day from the shrinking Lake Anna.
Wagner says that power plant water use is far from equal, depending on the technology used. And the water usage for post-deregulation plants, says Wagner, "is all over the board."
Usage is all over the board even within Fluvanna. The new Tenaska plant will draw an average 6 million gallons a day, while the recently approved CPV plant near Lake Monticello will withdraw just 91,000 gallons a day.
Wagner contrasts the proposed new plants with existing power plants. The oldies withdraw a large amount of water for cooling, consume a small percentage, and then discharge most of the water back to the source.
In contrast, newer plants have a smaller withdrawal, consume more of what they do withdraw, and thus have a smaller discharge.
"Compared to the large fossil fuel plants," says Wagner, "the newer ones have virtually no withdrawal."
That news doesn't necessarily comfort Citizens Against Power Plants spokesperson Maggie Cagnina, who lives in Fluvanna and decries public water going for free to Tenaska.
"That's one of the worst things," she says. "Tenaska gets all this water at no cost except for building the pipe while water prices are skyrocketing."
Tenaska won't be able to draw from the James during periods of low flow. The DEQ looks at the 100-year flow record to determine the magic cut-off number, says Wagner.
And he says the drought isn't why there are restrictions on water permits for power plants. "Water consumption is a major concern now, drought or no."
Certainly it's a concern to Fluvanna anti-power plant activists like Cagnina. "It's all of our water," she says, mentioning Fluvanna's 200 dry wells and the aquifers that are drying up. And she doesn't understand why Richmond isn't getting more involved, since Tenaska will be using the same water source as Richmond, which guzzles 100 million gallons of water a day from the James.
Cagnina is also worried about Fluvanna County tapping into the Tenaska water pipeline from the James, which is big enough to take out 16 million gallons a day, further fueling growth. "We have a long running dispute over public water," she says.
Fluvanna is soon to be home to two new power plants, but the water usage of the second, CPV, a subsidiary of Competitive Power Ventures in Maryland, is less of a concern, even for Cagnina.
CPV uses a more expensive technology called dry cooling that will require only 91,000 gallons of water a day, a fraction of what Tenaska will need. And of that, 62,000 gallons will return to its water supply source, the Rivanna River. And unlike Tenaska, CPV will purchase its water from Aquasource, the water company that serves Lake Monticello.
Louisa County will be home to Central Virginia's third power plant. Old Dominion Electric Cooperative has plans to construct a plant near the Albemarle line. The facility will buy and use 200,000 gallons a day from Louisa County's Bowlers Mill Reservoir.
Since Virginia deregulated generation of electric energy on January 1, 2002, the state has become a hotbed of companies looking to sell electricity on the competitive market. At one time, it looked like 30 new power plants could enter the market yet another concern for the citizens of a drought-stricken state.
But the number of applications is down to 15, and not all of those may be built, according to the State Corporation Commission, which issues permits for power plants. "There's a two-year limit on the permit," in which the company has to build, says Ken Schrad at the SCC.
And while the Commonwealth could be flooded with power plants, at present, Schrad says, Virginia imports more power than it exports. Nor is the additional power from the new plants necessarily going to stay in the state. "They're being built for the competitive market," says Schrad, "not Virginia."
So. Power generated with free water by plants like Tenaska can be sold out of state to the highest bidder. "Everybody in the state," points out Wagner, "uses electricity," As do people in other states, and they could be the ultimate beneficiaries of Virginia's water resources.

Guest poem sent in by Aseem
(Poem #1801) With God on our Side
Oh my name it is nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I's taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side. Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh the country was young With God on its side. Oh the Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I's made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side. Oh the First World War, boys It closed out its fate The reason for fighting I never got straight But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you don't count the dead When God's on your side. When the Second World War Came to an end We forgave the Germans And we were friends Though they murdered six million In the ovens they fried The Germans now too Have God on their side. I've learned to hate Russians All through my whole life If another war starts It's them we must fight To hate them and fear them To run and to hide And accept it all bravely With God on my side. But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side. In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God's on our side He'll stop the next war.
(from the album The Times they are a-changin') Reading the Star Spangled Banner [Poem #1730] on Minstrels made me think of another song - one that does more justice, IMHO, to the 'glorious' history of the United States. It's a song that's probably more chillingly apt today than it was in 1963, when it was first written, if only because of the increasing frequency with which religion is being invoked to justify acts of mindless violence against other human beings. I, personally have no use for religion, but I see how it can be a powerful force to unite and motivate great masses of people - that it should be used for this purpose by evil, power hungry men is at once one of the greatest ironies and one of the greatest tragedies of our time. 'With God on our Side' is a wonderful illustration of the way that a lifetime of indoctrination can make otherwise decent, clear-thinking people support the most henious crimes against humanity in the name of some imagined God. Dylan attacks the propaganda of God with conscious irony, exposing again and again the hypocrisy that lies at the heart of much of the history that a nation prides itself on. Going sequentially through war after war in US History [1], Dylan, shows us the terrible pointlessness and waste of war, forcing you to ask the question: Was it worth it? There are some truly memorable lines here, and the conscious caricatures of the justifications given for war would be hilarious if they were not both incredibly tragic and frighteningly close to the truth (if there's one point that both sides of the Iraq conflict would agree on, it's that "You don't count the dead / When God's on your side"). I admit this isn't by any means one of Dylan's greatest poems - without his flat, matter of fact delivery of the lines it may barely be a poem at all - but as we struggle to come to terms with the bombings in London and the continuing carnage in Iraq, I feel these are lines that are useful to remember. There may be many things that you can believe in to justify the West's intercession in Iraq (though I'm not sure I know what these might be), but God cannot and should not be one of them. As the democracies of the West prepare to face a determined assault from an enemy whose key weapon is a religious fanaticism, it would be tempting to follow the path of their opponents and sacrifice human life in the name of God, but that temptation is precisely what they must guard against. God, in the final analysis, is the one thing we should not trust in, because it is the one weapon and the one justification that both sides will always have equal access to. Besides, as Dylan so eloquently puts it "If God's on our side / he'll stop the next war". Aseem [1] The one glaring ommission is of course, the war in Vietnam, which took place largely after this song was written. Incidentally, the Star Spangled banner makes interesting reading in the light of that war, with some of the lines serving as a wonderful paean ("And where is that band who so vauntingly swore / That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion / A home and a country should leave us no more?" "Thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand / Between their loved homes and the war's desolation / Blest with victory and peace") to the eventual victory of the VietCong. Another apt reminder of why it's dangerous to believe your own propaganda.

@PatsyStew I saw Rob and Kristen at the SWATH Premiere tonight at the Empire Cinema. I went inside and was seated in front row. We waited a while bec they were giving interviews outside and went to Odeon first. I was looking at the room and there were lots of reserved seats in the center of the first balcony. Then I saw them all getting in, then I saw someone is a black baseball cap going towards the reserved seats. Then I lost the baseball cap (Rob) and saw the evil queen drinking wine or something and offering it to Snow White. She drank then Joe Roth came and presented Rupert who called the rest of the actors. Then Rupert called Snow WHite who came running with her shoes in her hands barefoot. SHe embaced Charlize and was so shy. Then they left and Kristen run out of the room with HBG and Charlize and Chris were saying hello to a guy in a baseball cap. In the middle of the movie I turned around and Rob didn't have his hat anymore but I was far away. In the end they didnt turn the lights immediately and I couldn't tell if they were still there or not. I do not have a Rob pic because the room is huge and I was in the stalls first row but he was there and I saw him. I did not see any of Rob's relatives or their friends but I saw Rob.

On Saturday afternoon at 4:15 p.m. ET, the fight world will shift its collective gaze across the Atlantic Ocean to Wembley Stadium in London to watch Wladimir Klitschko take on Anthony Joshua in the heavyweight bout of the century, which will air live exclusively on Showtime.
Klitschko has said repeatedly that he's "obsessed" with winning, and getting his belts back in his corner. For Joshua, though, talk is cheap and he's done little of it leading up to the fight.
However, at the final press conference for the fight on Thursday afternoon, Joshua laid out pretty simply what he thinks is going to happen when these two titans square off on Saturday.
"I win," Joshua told reporters when asked for a prediction. "It's not complicated. Let's not overthink it. This isn't rocket science. This is just a fight. Let's strip it right back to what it is – a young lion, ferocious, hungry, very determined. I left no stone unturned in training camp. We do talk about experience, but even when I was fighting guys with lesser experience I was preparing for this. I've prepared since day one for this."
>>MORE: Listen To The Showtime Sports Podcast For Complete Joshua-Klitschko Coverage
While Joshua's matter-of-fact manner has endeared him to fans across London and the world and he's treating this fight like it's any other, he does recognize the significance, and won't be afraid to show it should he defeat Klitschko and retain his title.
"You can't deny it… This is epic," Joshua told reporters. "As much as I'm calm, when I look around and see how pumped people are for this fight it gives me energy, it gives me life. So it would be hard for me to hold myself together after such an amazing event."
During the press conference, Klitschko was equal parts nostalgic about his incredible career and journey and jubilant about the fight yet to come against Joshua.
"Can you imagine my next opponent is going to fight a guy whose age is exactly the number of how long he has been in boxing – 27 years," Klitschko posited. "Can you imagine that? It's a pretty amazing task. Is it a degradation that I'm actually a challenger and underdog in this fight after 27 years in the sport? I don't think so. I think it's great. I'm the challenger again. I feel young, hungry, humble and totally obsessed with my goal to raise my hands again."
"I'm so obsessed with winning. I realized that life is a circle, and I see myself in AJ. I do believe I know how he thinks, how he goes, and how the actual fight is going to be."
Boxing, and especially the heavyweight division, is at a turning point. The fight between Joshua and Klitschko could signal either a changing of the guard should Joshua emerge victorious, or a stay of eviction of Klitschko as the class of the heavyweight division.
Either way, both fighters recognize the significance of the moment they're partaking in.
"Absolutely, this is 110 percent a pivotal moment for boxing," Joshua said.

Arianna Huffington sat down with Uber's Chief Brand Officer Bozoma Saint John for a fulfilling conversation about spirituality and how her husband Peter's death changed her perspective on living life. During the hour-long Thrive Podcast chat, Bozoma explained that after losing loved ones, she learned to appreciate each and every moment.
"That kind of thought was what consumed me. The things that I wish I would have done sooner, or the things that I shouldn't have waited to do," Bozoma told Ariana while reflecting on her husband's 2013 death. "The stuff that was like, 'Oh well, we can do that when we retire.' Why did we think that way? … [For me, I learned to make] active choices every day to do the things that sometimes seem impossible, the things that you would ordinarily say, 'Oh, just wait. Wait a few years. Save up for that. Don't wear those nice shoes today, it's raining.' [Like], no, I'm gonna do that right now."
Peter passed away after battling cancer in 2013. Boz shared with Ariana that they were stunned when doctors told him there was nothing else they could do.
"We were stunned. You just sit there and you're like, 'Well, what does this actually mean? How much time? And what do we do?' The oncologist was really clear, which now I appreciate her directness in that she said, 'Each day really is a gift, and each day he's going to get weaker. So you should plan what you wanna do every day. See what he's able to do, and then figure out what you can act on.'"
Boz continued that it wasn't easy, but she had to teach herself how to move forward and appreciate life.
"In those moments, I have to think about how to also choose joy, how to celebrate even though I'm weeping uncontrollably," she said. "I don't hide my grief from [our daughter] because I think it's really important to be able to also showcase how you work through grief and how you live with grief, because, again, it's not something you get over. You just work it into your life."
Listen to their chat in full above to hear more from Boz, including what moving from Ghana to Colorado as a child taught her about communication and diversity.

The quiz questions focused on wildlife animals which are also Buganda clan totems, Uganda National Park and the tourism sector and conservation. Lumu was the first runner-up in the quiz after Ms Olivia Nabunya who won a trip with her partner to Queen Elizabeth National Park recently.
Prior to his trip, Alex Lumu had the honor of dining and interacting with the Ministry of Tourism officers, Buganda kingdom ministers and fellow respondents at the Capital Palace Gardens and Restaurant popularly known as the Carnival where they were hosted to a dinner by UWA management.
In Lake Mburo National Park, Lumu enjoyed the game drive sighting herds of diverse animals, bird species and the beautiful scenery. He also explored the expansive Lake Mburo on a boat ride during which he sighted unique birds like the African Fin foot and king fishers.
Earlier,Mr. Lumu with the accompanying media was flagged off by the acting Executive Director UWA Dr. Andrew Seguya flanked by the acting director Tourism and Business Services Mr. Stephen Masaba.
Mr. Masaba said UWA enjoys a harmonious working relationship with the Buganda kingdom in promotion of Conservation and Tourism. He said the offers to the youth to tour the national parks was to accord them an opportunity to appreciate their own country's natural endowments while promoting domestic tourism.

Don't you wish individual back were an obligatory course in school? Lamentably, an excessive number of us learn by botch. When you require an individual advance and are rejected, you may be bewildered with reference to what turned out badly and how to settle it. Here are a few pieces of information.
No credit is where you have never utilized credit and in this way have no record as a consumer for the bank to audit. They have no chance to get of settling on an informed choice on regardless of whether you will pay back an individual advance in light of your record of loan repayment. No credit is more terrible than awful credit. Fitting the bill for and influencing normal installments on these kinds of early on types of credit to can overcome a "no credit" score:
· Student Loans
· Secured Visa (incorporates an up front installment sum)
· Being added to a parent's or life partners great credit: card, auto advance, and so forth.
Low credit goes up against a few structures. In case you're utilizing over 30% of your reasonable obligation, it can contrarily affect your score. An excessive number of request from looking for advances will likewise hit you hard. Slips by in installment, defaults, or liquidations are monster warnings and can set aside a long opportunity to reconstruct from.
Different things that banks may take a gander at are regardless of whether you have sizeable resources should you default on the advance. They additionally verify whether your obligations are enhanced or on the off chance that you are just conveying one kind of obligation.
Evidence of wage is for the most part required while applying for an individual advance. On the off chance that you are jobless or underemployed, it can conflict with you in the credit endorsement process. Banks may likewise require a work history to perceive to what extent you have been with your present business, and to decide whether you normally have work dependability. Visit work misfortune or change will tell a lender that your installments may not be dependable.

This will chase after you for quite a while and is hard to delete. On the off chance that you do resolve the obligation issues, inspire reports to demonstrate the determination.
On the off chance that you require an advance now, however are worried that you won't not meet all requirements for an individual credit extension, you can fit the bill for a No Credit Check Loan. You could be headed to a superior money related future in a matter of moments!

/usr/grads/bin, but we assume you don't have it early in your
PATH variable.
svn help
svn help command
command (such as
spongebob and that you have been working on a project called
pineapple (because Spongebob lives in a pineapple under the sea). I assume that your project may have subfolders, and that everything in the project initially located in the directory
You realize one day that you should be using version control (perhaps your coauthor
squidward is interested in working with the
pineapple codebase), and you turned to this wiki...
If you are starting a project from scratch, then just create a folder to represent the root of your project, and then put a
Makefile in that folder (you do use
make, right?). Then you can continue to the next step.
cd /u/spongebob/
mkdir repos
Now we can create a repository in the
repos directory that contains the initial copy of our
pineapple project. First we create a
pineapple repository ( pay close attention to command line parameters here)
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /u/spongebob/repos/pineapple
And now we import all of our files:
svn import /u/spongebob/pineapple file:///u/spongebob/repos/pineapple -m "I just imported this project to Subversion because my advisor told me to"
pineapple in our repository tree, and said that it should use the FSFS system for storing information (the other option is to use BDB, which is not compatible with our NFS setup).
Then we imported the entire tree rooted at
/u/spongebob/pineapple/, and when we imported it, we provided a description so that for the rest of time, we'll know that this import was committed reluctantly.
-m switch, then Subversion will open your favorite editor and demand that you enter some text. When you save the text and exit, then the import will continue.
bikinibottom (Spongebob's hometown), and you want to give the people in
bikinibottom access to your repository. First we will change the group of the repository and let group members read and write to this folder:
cd /u/spongebob/repos
chown -R :bikinibottom pineapple
chmod -R g+r pineapple
chmod -R g+w pineapple
chmod -R o-r pineapple
chmod -R o-w pineapple
chmod -R o-x pineapple
s bit. Since these are all directories under and including locks and db, you can use the change-all command
find pineapple/locks pineapple/db -type d -exec chmod ug+s {} \;
Or if you prefer individual commands:
chmod u+s pineapple/locks
chmod g+s pineapple/locks
chmod u+s pineapple/db
chmod g+s pineapple/db
chmod u+s pineapple/db/revprops
chmod g+s pineapple/db/revprops
chmod u+s pineapple/db/revs
chmod g+s pineapple/db/revs
chmod u+s pineapple/db/transactions
chmod g+s pineapple/db/transactions
/u/spongebob/repos/pineapple, but if you make a mistake your collaborators may be temporarily prevented from checking in/out, or you might end up having files in your repository that are owned by someone else.
/u/spongebob/pineapple have been copied over. But you still need to check out a copy of the repository to do real work.
/u/spongebob/pineapple, because they are from before we started to use Subversion. But we did like having the
pineapple project in our root directory, so let's remove the old copy and get a new, clean, shiny copy (of the exact same files) from Subversion.
rm -rf /u/spongebob/pineapple
cd /u/spongebob
svn co file:///u/spongebob/repos/pineapple
svn command to get their own copy of the repository.
svn status
Next, you might want to look at what changes you made:
svn diff
Or maybe you only want to look at the changes to the file
svn diff crabbypatty
Things look good, so let's commit:
svn commit
pineapple project needs a new file to represent Spongebob's pet snail (named Gary). We first create the file
garythesnail somewhere in the
pineapple tree, and then we add the file:
svn add garythesnail
Now when we do our next commit, this file will be posted to the repository.
svn log
svn log -r 5
sandythesquirrel. How can I check?
svn log sandythesquirrel
recumbent (squidward rides a recumbent bicycle). This morning, you realize that the new algorithm will never work. To revert your copy of
recumbent to the previous version, you can simply type:
svn revert recumbent
svn delete file1
svn move file2 file3
svn copy file4 file5
mrkrabs (the proprietor of the Krusty Krab, where Spongebob works) submits some changes. You can get the latest version of the repository by typing:
svn update
Unfortunately, it is possible that
mrkrabs changed a file (let's say the file was
krabbypatty) that you were editing. If this happens, Subversion should let you know. In the process of "letting you know", Subversion will change the file to indicate all the changes that
mrkrabs made. Now it is your responsibility to resolve the conflicts (if they exist). Once you have done this, type:
svn resolved krabbypatty
And now svn will trust that you've resolved everything that conflicted in that file.
Now when you are ready to submit, you can use the standard commit command
svn ci
svn commit
svn ci.
svn co svn+ssh://firstname.lastname@example.com/u/spongebob/repos/pineapple
This will prompt you for your password, and then get a copy of the repository. From here on out, every time you interact with the repository, you don't need to say the whole svn+ssh part (Subversion will remember that for you), but you'll be prompted for a password.
svn propedit svn:externals _paper_dir
When the editor opens the property file, type the following line
bib _bib_repository_path_
svn+ssh (see Tunneling) for remote directories. You can link in basically any svn repository you have access to, including those on the Internet. If you want to use the bib files shared by the compiler group, the path is
spongebob does not have his path set correctly on
somemachine, and consequently the
svn command doesn't run on the remote host. If this isn't your problem, and you find a fix for your problem, add it to this wiki.
svn ci, the last thing you want to see is an error that ten minutes ago, someone else changed a file and now you have to go through the whole
update=/=resolved process. A better strategy would be to develop with revision control in mind. In other words, do a small checkin that changes the main() function to call an empty subroutine in a new file. Check this in, and then do all of your work in that new file. When you're done, you don't have to re-check in the main() file, and you are less likely to have a conflict.
svn propedit svn:ignore <directory>
*.o on separate lines.
For those who are familiar with
cvs, the
.cvsignore file can be simulated:
svn propset -F .cvsignore .
xxdiff-subversion, which is installed in
/usr/grads/bin/. It will display changes and allow you to resolve them directly. Try
xxdiff-subversion --help for usage.

About a year ago, a young family member opened-up to me about her experience being cyberbullied.
The details of the situation escape me, but I remember racking my brain over what could have led to this. I mean, this is a young person who is smart, sweet, and an all-around great kid. Why someone would want to bring harm was a total mystery.
Then I came across an article by Parry Aftab about cyberbullies that shed a bit of light on the situation. It described the different types of cyberbullies (who knew that there were different types?) based on the instigator's motive for cyberbullying. So here is what I learned.
There are four types of cyberbullies, including:
- 1. Vengeful Angel - Vengeful Angels aim to protect themselves or others from cyberbullies by righting wrongs with more bullying. They don't really think of themselves as cyberbullies (but they really are).
- 2. Power-Hungry - Power-Hungry cyberbullies seek to manipulate others with fear. They want attention and to see their targets react with fear. Some students who were once victims of traditional bullying find themselves as aggressors online because social media has leveled the playing field for them (Aftab speaks to the Revenge-of the Nerds subtype). The approach involves social-exclusion of targets to demonstrate the social clout of the instigator.
- 3. Mean Girls- Although Mean Girls cyberbullies rarely threaten victims, they engage others to pass along messages filled with rumors, vote at cyberbashing sites, or other tactics to help spread humiliation. (In case you're wondering, cyberbashing sites allow kids to create humiliating categories, like school's fattest, dumbest, ugliest etc. kid, and vote).
- 4. Inadvertent Cyberbully – The Inadvertent Cyberbully is interested in online role-playing and may pretend to be tough. They may react to controversial messages or send cyberbullying communications without thinking about the consequences.
Reading these categories made me realize that my family member probably didn't do anything to trigger online attacks. It's just that the one doing the cyberbullying has some personal issues to work through.
This said, this list might help provide insight on your kid's situation if he or she is getting cyberbullied. But it's also something to think about if your kid is the one engaged in cyberbully activities.
Check-out Aftab's full piece to learn more about the four different types of cyberbullies and for tips on how to deal with them.

One of the place not to miss while visiting Belize is the Barrier Reef which is the longest of the Western Hemisphere with 296 kilometers (185 miles). And just outside from the Barrier Reef is one of the most famous worldwide diving spot, the Blue Hole.
A World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the Blue Hole is a submarine sinkhole at 70 km from the mainland and forms a perfect O. 300 meters large and 124 meters deeps, people come from all over the world to dive it.
To get there by boat, it takes 3 hours from Ambergris Caye so trips leave as early as 6 am. It's a long trip which can be very bumpy if the sea is agitated (better not have sea sickness!) but it's worth if you love diving.
|Entering the Blue Hole
|The Blue Hole (darker blue)
If you have the money (or have the chance to have clients who can pay it!), you can go to see the Blue Hole by helicopter. One funny fact, there is only one helicopter in Belize for tourism. So this is not an experience everybody can have, probably one of a life time! Leaving from San Pedro Ambergris, it takes 1h30 return trip. On the way you can see the different Islands forming the Lighthouse Reef. You will see the great Blue Hole surrounded by hard corals that borders it with only two small channels. As you go across this spectacular hole, you will be dazzled by its impressive size and color.
|On the way to the Blue Hole
|On top of the Blue Hole
|The Blue Hole, a perfect O
After flying over the Blue Hole, you will pass over Long Caye on the west side of the atoll to enjoy the ambiance of Mother Nature's best kept secrets. Your flight now takes a turn to the west as you pass again over the Turneffe Islands where you will be able to see once again one of the few islands with white sandy beach. Finally, it's off back to the deep blue sea as you head back to San Pedro.

April 4, 2011
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has an important message for Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul – ditch the Republican Party and run for President as an independent.
On the day that Obama officially announced his 2012 Presidential campaign underway, the spotlight will now turn on those who are expected to set the wheels in motion to run against the president.
One name mentioned over and over again for the past few months has been Republican Congressman Ron Paul. However, Ventura, who was victorious as an Independent himself in 1998, believes that Paul can mount a more powerful challenge by distancing himself from the GOP establishment.
And Ventura even offered to throw his own name into the hat as a possible running mate.
"If Ron Paul would quit the Republican Party, and he asked me, then I would give serious consideration to running with him." Ventura told syndicated radio host Alex Jones today.
"I will not run as a Democrat or Republican. I want nothing to do with these parties. They are the problem, they are not the solution." the former Governor added.
"They're the ones that have been in control of this country, as Ralph Nadar calls them, the two party dictatorship. They are the ones that have us in this mess. They are the ones who have caused all the debt problems… it's time to throw them out. The people of this country can do a major thing and its so easy. The next election, don't vote for ANY Republicans or Democrats. That would be the greatest thing that could happen in this country, to bring down and destroy these two political parties." Ventura urged.
Congressman Paul has recently been victorious in several Republican straw polls of potential presidential nominees, and he has raised a staggering $3 million already this first quarter via his various grass roots organizations. That is more than any other potential Republican nominee thus far.
Ventura believes Paul should fully capitalize on his political popularity and make the break from the GOP.
"He won't get the Republican Party nomination, he has to understand that." Ventura said.
"The Republicans are not going to put Ron Paul up as their Presidential nominee. He is too much of a rogue, he is not bought and sold by multinational corporations. Plus the biggest thing of all, he calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve." he added.
Though many Paul supporters would agree with Ventura, others will point to a shift in GOP attitude toward a more Libertarian outlook in over the past year as one reason for Paul to stick with the party and continue to use the apparatus to reach more people.
Paul previously ran on a Libertarian Party ticket in 1988, but struggled to make inroads against the establishment parties.
During his 2008 campaign for the Republican nomination, the corporate media and mainline conservatives attacked the Congressman over his outspoken opposition to big government and US interventionist foreign policy.
Senator Rand Paul, the Congressman's son believes that it will be different this time around, however.
"I don't think there would be any chance they'd exclude my dad now," said the U.S. senator from Kentucky. "I think everyone in politics, whether it's explicit or not, has their own agenda and if they can exclude you, they will. I don't think that will happen again."
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Ventura is currently promoting his new book, 63 documents The Government Doesn't Want You To Read. The former Governor explained that he had dedicated the book to Congressman Paul as a thank you for his tireless efforts to bring more transparency to Washington.
"He was the only Congressman we have that had the courage to go out on the floor of the Congress and support Wikileaks," Ventura noted, alluding to the whistle blowing website.
"Like Ron Paul said, no one has died from Wikileaks. How many people have died from the trumped up intelligence and the lying that got us into the Iraq war. And then he said something even more profound. He talked about in a free country like ours, when the truth equals treason we are in big trouble."
While Ron Paul has yet to announce whether he will mount another presidential run, he may want to take Ventura up on his offer before the former pro-wrestler turned political powerhouse looks toward an even more ambitious role.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (Ad)
"I never said who would be President and who would be Vice President." Ventura quipped.
"Ron and I may have to flip a coin."

The spec doesn't seem to be clear on this, so I thought I would ask here:
I have created a context using clCreateContextFromType and CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL which returns a non zero context and CL_SUCCESS.
When querying this context for all devices using clGetContextInfo with CL_CONTEXT_DEVICES i also get CL_SUCCESS, however the returned size and device list do not appear to be correct.
The problem is:
The returned data is 32 bit, not 64 and the data is not a valid device.
The size is 4 bytes, which is half a word on my 64 bit MacBook Pro running Mac OSX Snow Leopard. The size given by sizeof(cl_device_id) is of course 8 bytes. So arguably this is invalid, or the implementation is made for a 32bit machine…? However, if I ignore this, there should be 2 devices returned (CPU+GPU), which queries on the platform indicate. Also ignoring this, the value of the data is always 0x2, which when treated like a device seems to be invalid also (although I was not thorough).
Has anyone else come across this? Or am I missing something obvious? Perhaps it is a problem with the implementation or current spec?
Other OpenCL code seems to work, but I would like to be able to query the context like this.
Name = "Apple";
Vendor = "Apple";
Version = "OpenCL 1.0 (May 28 2009 16:54:15)";
Name = "GeForce 9400M";
Vendor = "NVIDIA";
Version = "OpenCL 1.0";
Name = "Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T9550 @ 2.66GHz";
Vendor = "Intel";

Rory McIlroy failed to find the "something phenomenal" he needed on Saturday to keep his faint hopes of winning the Masters alive at Augusta National.
But he was at least getting a valuable lesson in how to play the course from club member Jeff Knox, who was acting as McIlroy's marker and outscoring the former world number one.
McIlroy, who holed a four-foot par putt on the 18th on Friday evening to make the cut on the mark of four over par, started promisingly with a two-putt birdie from 25 feet on the par-five second.
However, the two-time major winner's approach to the short third ran over the green and he was unable to get up and down for par, while birdie chances went begging on the fourth and sixth.
An errant tee shot led to another bogey on the seventh and an outward nine of 37 completed in 90 minutes, with Knox - who holds the course record of 61 from the members' tees - out in an unofficial 35 after matching McIlroy's birdie on the second.
McIlroy dropped another shot on the 10th after missing the green left for the second day running, and smiled wryly when he missed for birdie on the 12th only to see Knox casually hole from 30 feet.
A visibly frustrated McIlroy drove into Rae's Creek on the left of the 13th and although he saved par after a penalty drop, another birdie putt catching the edge of the hole on the 14th and staying out summed up his day.
Speaking on Friday evening, McIlroy had said: "I just want to go out there and try to get off to a fast start. Eleven shots back (of leader Bubba Watson) with two rounds to play is going to be nearly impossible to make up, so I'm trying to shoot two really low rounds and see where that puts me at the end of the week.
"It will take something phenomenal to shoot something in the mid-60s and get myself back under par going into the last day. But I'm going to need to be two, three or four under par going into the last day to have any sort of chance."
Former champion Watson was seven under par at halfway and enjoyed a three-shot lead over Australian John Senden, with defending champion Adam Scott, Masters rookies Jordan Spieth and Jonas Blixt and Denmark's Thomas Bjorn a shot further back.
American Gary Woodland was making the biggest move of the early starters, birdies on the first, sixth, eighth and ninth coupled with an eagle on the second taking him to the turn in just 30 shots, equalling the lowest front nine in Masters history previously achieved by Johnny Miller, KJ Choi, Greg Norman and Phil Mickelson.
At three under par overall Woodland, who only made the cut by a shot, was up to joint third and in with a chance of matching the course record of 63 - held by Norman and Nick Price - or even the first sub-63 round in major championship history.

SpongeBob SquarePants Season 9 Episode 20 (Official)
Cartoon : SpongeBob SquarePants
A narrator with a French accent introduces SpongeBob SquarePants, a sponge who lives in a pineapple in the city of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob's foghorn alarm clock rings, waking him up in the morning. He tells his pet, Gary the Snail, that he must be in good shape because this particular day is very important. He jumps off of his diving board and lands in his pants. He goes to his exercise room and lifts a bar-weight (which is actually two stuffed animals). Afterwards, SpongeBob exclaims that he is ready.

The oldest unrestored Austin Mini in the world and the eight example ever built exceeded its pre-auction estimate by nearly three times when it sold at auction this past Monday for an amazing £40,250 (right around $65,000).
Although this might not seem like much in the high dollar world of car auctions, this Mini was one of a million plus made and will need significant rust and mechanical repair before it returns to the road. Three of the seven Minis believed to be built before this car are still known to exist, but all of them have been restored.
Evidently the fact this is the eight oldest Mini in the world was enough for someone to shell out quite a bit more than the $19,000-$24,000 pre-auction estimate. No details were released on who bought the car, but we'd guess anyone willing to pay this much for ratty Mini has restoration plans on the brain.

"He endears himself to crowds from the moment he steps on stage… funny as hell"
LA Comedy Examiner
Bill Devlin (comedian, actor and writer) was born and raised in St. Paul Minnesota. The youngest of eight children in an Irish Catholic community, serves as fodder in a good deal of Devlin's reservoir of comedy.
In addition to touring around the country, Bill has also performed at all the major comedy clubs in Southern California. He appears, hosts and produces shows regularly at the world famous Hollywood Improv Comedy Club. Devlin's long running Comedy & Cocktails show has featured comedy greats Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Margaret Cho and Drew Carey just to name a few.
Hollywood took notice when Devlin performed nine one-hour comedy shows in a two day period at a maximum-security prison. He wrote a first person story of the experience, exclusive to the Los Angeles Times, which was featured on the front page of the calendar section.
This got Devlin his first major feature film development deal.
His unique comedy style is routinely written about in the Irish Herald, The Irish News and The Irish American Post. Did I mention he's Irish? Devlin has also been profiled on NBC's Today in LA and on National Public Radio.
He was commissioned to produce, write and host (before a live studio audience) his own TV talk/variety show The Un-Invited Guests with Bill Devlin; which starred comedy legend Dom Deluise.
As an actor, Devlin has been in dozens of television commercials and has starred in several independent feature films (Blood Predator, The God Complex) including the cult hit Rectuma; which screened at the Cannes film festival.
He has worked with such film veterans as Faye Dunaway (Chinatown, Bonnie & Clyde), Sean Young (Blade Runner) and Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters).
Devlin has performed improv & sketch comedy for many years and trained with the father of improvisation himself, Del Close.
He is also an accomplished professional photographer and percussionist

That morning, I woke up late for class. Smitty IM'd me about some planes hitting the WTC. I didn't believe it. Being the technophile that I am, I attempted to login to cnn.com to get the news. No go. abc.com. No go. nbc.com. Nope... Only after 5 minutes of trying to get into websites did I realize that I could just turn on the TV.
I tried to call Peter and Sam to see if they were ok, but couldn't get through. I went to class...they cancelled the rest of the day...still no calls getting though. Later, it was confirmed that everyone (but no one was ok) was ok. I think that was by email.
I can't forget that day because I think that was the day that I became afraid of flying, and afraid of dying. I, like everyone else, wish that day had never happened. I will never have trouble remembering it.
How can I forget?

The Sydney 18 footer freaks continue to astound and amaze; and they've knocked together a replica of the iconic and dominating 18 footer Myra Too from the 50s, splashed a couple of days ago for her maiden sail above. Myra was built with the help of of the Aussie National Maritime Museum – take a look at some of their excellent research and photos here.
Myra Too will join the Flying Squadron's Historic 18 fleet, which (quite incredibly) sails constantly though the summer out of the squaddie. She'll bring their number to an amazing 11, including a replica of Britannia, the first 'modern' 18 footer, whose original lives at the museum and is worth a visit from any sailor worth their salt. We'll have shitloads more news on the "eyedeens" over the next few weeks leading up to the fully live video coverage of the modern 18'ers World Champs, where 30 of the bastards will go for J.J. Giltinan's gold.
For a really cool look at the fleet in the 60s, check out Sports Illustrated's old files here for "A Bloody Way To Go Sailing." A great read, and you can actually see the original, as-printed story in the e-mag here (click forward to page 58).

Just a few days word broke that Creative was about to release onto the world the Creative Xmod, small device that supposedly makes MP3s (and other formats of lossy digital music compression) sound better. Laptop magazine got a chance to play around with it and reports that it's not a complete piece of garbage, going so far as to say "[i]t could change the way we listen to music." How's that for bombast?
The Xmod works by upconverting the digital music using Creative's X-Fi CMSS-3D technology. Here's the kicker: the Xmod "restores" part of the audio information that was originally stripped in order to make the lossy music file. So we're led to believe that the Xmod generates missing information on its own. Laptop seems to think it does, everything from Lauren Hill to Queen. Quite an eclectic bunch they've got over there.
The Xmod is still scheduled to be released later this month for $80.The urge to call "shenanigans" on this product is so immense right now.

Previewing NVIDIA's Upcoming 'Tegra 4 Wayne' Chipset
Posted by Areeb Majeed in Review, Technology on January 10, 2013
Rumors are already hinting that the successor of the Tegra chipset series from NVIDIA will hit the markets very soon. The roadmap of the Tegra chipset was leaked just a few days ago; the latest and confirmed news is that Tegra 4 – code named as Wayne – will hit the markets by the end of this year. However, reliable sources hint a slight delay in the plan. Now it appears like we will see Tegra 4 only by early 2013. And if it's going to be in 2013, it is highly likely that the Tegra 4 will arrive at the CES 2013 event.
This makes sense because NVIDIA is used to making most of its announcements at the CES – no matter if it's a state-of-the-art tablet featuring a Tegra 3 chip or a simple chip. And the good thing is, we are now seeing some interesting stats ahead of the much anticipated Tegra 4 chip release – and they are promising.
Here is a preview of some of the leaked information on the hardware and software features of Tegra 4:
CPU – The CPU of Tegra 4 will feature the same 4-plus-1 structure that was present in Tegra 3. But there is an interesting addition to the battery saving functionalities of the chipset – the Cortex-A15 CPU core will be powering the battery life with Patented 5th battery saver.
Graphic capabilities – We expect to see enhanced graphic capabilities in the Tegra 4 chipset. The GPU will be a supercharged 72-core set up and is expected to be 20 times faster than Tegra 2 and six times faster than Tegra 3. This means, users will be able to accomplish their tasks much quicker.
Memory – Tegra 4 will come with a dual channel memory encompassing DDR3L, LPDDR2, and LPDDR3.
Video – The video functionalities will be boosted by a full picture resolution of 1440p, VP8 acceleration, and H.264 HP.
Power – The chipset consumes much less power than its cousin versions. The power unit is comprised of 28nmHPL, 5th battery saver core, and PRISM.
Display – The display unit supports 2560×1600 (24b) displays at a decent resolution of 1080p. Also, there are 8 DSI lanes and a high-speed HDMI module.
Security – Tegra 4 is supercharged with advanced security settings that include an advanced HW accelerated security unit (which includes HDCP, Secure boot, and DRM).
Imaging – The super speed imaging capability is one of the key aspects of the Tegra 4. The imaging functionally of this chipset is capable of clocking more than 350 Megapixels per second.
I/O – The input/output unit of Tegra 4 is designed to render more support to the smartphones and tablets. The I/O unit of the chipset will also encompass dual channel memory and high speed HDMI.
As it is clear that Wayne will be arriving late (probably by early 2013), this could mean that we may see both Wayne and Grey (the next chipset version from NVIDIA) could be released pretty close to each other. So, what do you think about Tegra 4? Is it going to be the 'next big thing?'
This is a guest post by Jena Branch of Buycox.com, a site that offers savings and current information on cox cable packages.

Information for UCLA Law Students
Highly qualified, committed students at UCLA School of Law may apply to participate in foreign study opportunities at law schools outside the United States. Normally, such students will participate through the FLSEP and will attend one of UCLA School of Law's partner schools.
Foreign Legal Study Outside of FLSEP
If a UCLA law student wishes to engage in foreign study at a law school with which UCLA School of Law will not have an exchange agreement in effect for the period in which the student wishes to engage in foreign study, then that student must take a leave of absence from UCLA School of Law during that period. In such cases, the student will receive transfer course credit for the foreign study only in exceptional circumstances, to the extent approved by the Standards Committee, and provided that the foreign law school is of the highest repute in the sub-field of study, the student's proposed sub-field of study is unavailable at UCLA School of Law and all partner schools, and the student meets the terms and conditions outlined in the application procedures and requirements.

Where Is the Remaining Cast of 'Diff'rent Strokes' Today?
Conrad Bain, the actor fondly remembered as Mr. Drummond on 'Diff'rent Strokes,' has passed away. While most of the show's bigger stars have died, (we miss you, Gary Coleman) there are a few who are still with us.
So, what are they up to today?
Willis (Todd Bridges)
One of the sitcom's three troubled stars, along with the late Gary Coleman and Dana Plato, the man who played Willis has managed to overcome several demons. Bridges, now 47, fought drug addiction and was acquitted of murder in the late '80s, in a case where he was represented by Johnnie Cochran. He continues to work, appearing on 'The Young and the Restless,' 'Tyler Perry's House of Pain,' 'Everybody Hates Chris' and has done the reality thing on 'Skating with Celebrities' and 'Celebrity Boxing,' in which he defeated Vanilla Ice. Now that is what we are talking about, Willis.
Sam (Danny Cooksey)
Sam joined 'Diff'rent Strokes' in 1984, playing the son of Mr. Drummond's new wife. He was cute, but not very popular with fans. After his run on the sitcom ended, Cooksey -- who once sang on 'The Tonight Show' at the age of seven -- continued to work, scoring roles in 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' (he was one of the kids in the arcade scene) and in the cast of the Nickelodeon series 'Salute Your Shorts.' He later moved into voicework for video games and cartoons. In addition, Cooksey, now 38, has also maintained a love of music, being members of such bands as Bad4Good, RoadKill and Arbuckle.
Mrs. Garrett (Charlotte Rae)
The 86-year-old Rae only starred in the first season of 'Diff'rent Strokes,' but it paid big dividends for her. Her character was the centerpiece of the 'Diff'rent Strokes' spinoff, 'The Facts of Life,' which ran from 1979-1988 (although she left the show in 1986). Rae, a two-time Tony Award nominee who was also nominated for an Emmy for her work on 'The Facts of Life,' was diagnosed early with pancreatic cancer in 2009, but is now cancer-free. Her most recent TV role was on the ABC Family show 'Pretty Little Liars,' and she can be seen in the romantic comedy 'Love Sick Love.'
Dudley (Shavar Ross)
Ross is best known for playing Dudley, Arnold's best friend who gets molested by a creepy bike shop owner in a classic "very special episode." He has more than 100 TV and film credits to his name, mostly from his time as a child actor, including two of the 'Friday the 13th' sequels. In 1996, he founded the Alive Church in Los Angeles and served as its pastor for four years. These days, Ross, 41, runs his own production company and hasn't had a TV acting gig since a 1995 episode of 'Chicago Hope.'
Pearl (Mary Jo Catlett)
Pearl was one of three housekeepers who worked in the Drummond household on 'Diff'rent Strokes' (The late Nedra Volz, who portrayed Adelaide, was the third). Catlett's Pearl had the longest run of the three, from 1982-1986. Catlett continued to work after the show ended, scoring roles on 'Desperate Housewives,' '2 Broke Girls' and 'Glee.' Catlett, who notched a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for appearing on 'General Hospital' in 1990, has also lent her pipes as the voice of Mrs. Puff on 'SpongeBob SquarePants' and Cousin Larry's mother on 'Kim Possible' and did guest voice work on 'American Dad!'
Maggie (Mary Ann Mobley)
Mobley actually replaced Dixie Carter in the last the season of 'Diff'rent Strokes,' taking over the role of Mr. Drummond's new wife, Maggie. A former Miss America, in 1959, Mobley only did a handful of TV appearances after the sitcom ended and essentially quit show business (she hasn't done any acting since 1994). Her husband, TV personality Gary Collins, died last October.
