Swizz Beatz Upgrades Knicks Theme Song
Showtime! XXLMag.com has learned that the New York Knicks tapped Swizz Beatz to upgrade their longtime theme song, "Go NY Go."
Following in Q-Tip's footsteps, Swizz was asked to bring his signature sound to NY's famed basketball team.
Asked how the deal came about, the superproducer's rep told XXL: "[Swizz] is from from the Bronx. [The Knicks] always try to get people that have that connection, people who they feel could really pay homage 'cause they represent that culture. Plus, [with] the new sizzle that they have with Carmelo [Anthony] and Amare [Stoudemire], they want to give people an updated but still vintage song that reflects the old [song]. It's just a lil' more spicy."
The track is set to premiere in time for the playoffs, which begins on Saturday, April 16. Swizz is also set to film a short video for the theme along with several of the Knicks all-stars this week, that will appear on the MSG network shortly. —Jesse Gissen

A new report documents how climate change is already causing rapid, massive changes with "cascading effects" on ecosystems and biodiversity.
The report (pdf), led by the US Geological Survey, the National Wildlife Federation and Arizona State University, foresees a global loss of biodiversity and major shifts in ecosystems.
"These geographic range and timing changes are causing cascading effects that extend through ecosystems, bringing together species that haven't previously interacted and creating mismatches between animals and their food sources," states Nancy Grimm, a scientist at ASU and a lead author of the report.
And these changes will have direct consequences on humans, Amanda Staudt, a NWF climate scientist and a lead author on the report adds, as many ecosystems serve as a backbone in the defense of storm damage.

"Shifting climate conditions are affecting valuable ecosystem services, such as the role that coastal habitats play in dampening storm surge or the ability of our forests to provide timber and help filter our drinking water."
Among the animals in the US affected by climate change already underway, the report states, are climate-induced changes in pests and pathogens that have been deadly to some conifer forests, small mammals which are seeking higher elevations or having their already high elevation habitats shrunk and a fragmentation in habitat for wolverines.
The USGS offers some of the key findings of the report:
- Changes in precipitation and extreme weather events can overwhelm the ability of natural systems to reduce or prevent harm to people from these events. For example, more frequent heavy rainfall events increase the movement of nutrients and pollutants to downstream ecosystems, likely resulting not only in ecosystem change, but also in adverse changes in the quality of drinking water and a greater risk of waterborne-disease outbreaks.
- Changes in winter have big and surprising effects on ecosystems and their services. Changes in soil freezing, snow cover and air temperature affect the ability of ecosystems to store carbon, which, in turn, influences agricultural and forest production. Seasonally snow-covered regions are especially susceptible to climate change because small precipitation or temperature shifts can cause large ecosystem changes. Longer growing seasons and warmer winters are already increasing the likelihood of pest outbreaks, leading to tree mortality and more intense, extensive fires. Decreased or unreliable snowfall for winter sports and recreation will likely cause high future economic losses.
- The ecosystem services provided by coastal habitats are especially vulnerable to sea-level rise and more severe storms. The Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts are most vulnerable to the loss of coastal protection services provided by wetlands and coral reefs. Along the Pacific coast, long-term dune erosion caused by increasing wave heights is projected to cause problems for communities and for recreational beach activities. However, other kinds of recreation will probably improve due to better weather, with the net effect being that visitors and tourism dollars will shift away from some communities in favor of others.
- Climate change adaptation strategies are vital for the conservation of diverse species and effective natural resource policy and management. As more adaptive management approaches are developed, resource managers can enhance the country's ability to respond to the impacts of climate change through forward-looking and climate science-informed goals and actions.
- Ecological monitoring needs to be improved and better coordinated among federal and state agencies to ensure the impacts of climate change are adequately monitored and to support ecological research, management, assessment and policy. Existing tracking networks in the United States will need to improve coverage through time and in geographic area to detect and track climate-induced shifts in ecosystems and species.

India Open Grants by Paul Hamlyn Foundation #588791
This Fund seeks to meet our strategic aim to enable vulnerable communities living in priority geographical areas to improve their lives.
Many communities in India have inherent strengths which are often overlooked when modern development frameworks are used to view them. They have closely knit societies, progressive views and approaches to resource utilisation and sustainability, and are extremely conscious of their relationship with the environment. Their traditional knowledge has relevance to modern ways of living.
But traditional communities face many challenges. They are riven by attitudes that promote inequality, mostly due to caste. They are strongly patriarchal and not necessarily democratic in their outlook. The opening up of spaces, development of infrastructure, particularly roads, and hegemony of the modern development paradigm have all led them to become vulnerable. They are now unfortunately living on the margins and have been excluded in the development process.
Movements, over time, of people to urban centres, driven by economic forces, have transported some of these issues to urban centres. Urban development concerns emerge largely around building a balance between the hugely important roles that migrants have and will play and the ability of urban centres to provide for them. Addressing the concerns of the urban poor is a significant development challenge, but knowledge and experience is far less than for rural settings.

The findings are contained in Jeremy Goulet's criminal records obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday. Goulet gunned down two Santa Cruz police detectives before being killed in a shootout on Feb. 26.
The records, obtained with a Freedom of Information Act request, show investigators from Wheeler Army Air Field in Hawaii where Goulet was a helicopter pilot found probable cause to prosecute him in 2006, but his commander allowed him to resign "for the good of the service" under other than honorable conditions instead of facing a general court-martial.
Under military law, commanding officers have the discretion to decide how to handle rape charges. On Tuesday, Rep. Jackie Speier introduced legislation that would change that, creating a separate office to respond directly to rape and sexual assault charges.
Speier, along with former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other members of Congress demanded investigations into Goulet's Army discharge in the days following the attack on the Santa Cruz detectives.
"The epidemic of military rape and sexual assault is a damning indictment of the military judicial system's treatment of these cases," said Speier on Tuesday. "True justice demands impartiality which is absent in a system that relies on individual commanders who have no legal expertise to determine which assailants get prosecuted and which go free."
The 48 pages released by the Army Criminal Investigation command detail parts of their investigation, although the names of law enforcement personnel and the commander's remarks were blanked out by the military as a condition of releasing them.
In the first rape charge, the victim told investigators that on the night of the attack in April 2006, she woke up on her couch with a man forcing himself on her. She said she couldn't identify him because it was too dark but recognized his shirt. Goulet told investigators he had been at a party with the victim but denied the rape. The investigator concluded that while there was probable cause to believe Goulet committed the offense, there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him. Goulet's commander said his intent was to take less than courts martial action against him.
Less than six months after the first alleged attack, another woman reported Goulet raped her. In that case, investigators said there was probable cause that Goulet raped the woman. Goulet refused to answer questions, but a DNA sample was taken from his mouth. The investigation was dropped after DNA taken from a swab of his mouth did not match evidence from the scene.

Management doesn't conquer all, but boy it can conquer a lot. This morning we saw terrific numbers from two retailers, Home Depot (HD) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), and I have to tell you that much of what was good this quarter can be placed right at the feet of the people who run the companies. Home Depot's Frank Blake and Dick's' Ed Stack are two remarkable CEOs who are worthy of exuberant praise.
Home Depot's quarter shows a remarkable 2.9% increase in average ticket price, to $54.55, an important metric because it says that people are spending more on their houses than they did before. The average number of customers shopping at Home Depot showed a hefty increase, too.
Of course, similar to all great managements, the humility here is astounding. Blake took no credit whatsoever for the amazing numbers. Instead he said the strength was because of the "the start of the path of healing of the housing market." What Blake didn't point out, but I will, is that Home Depot performed incredibly well when the housing market was awful, so these numbers should be put in the context of the consistency that Home Depot has given you during the entire Blake reign.
Even better, and an added reason why the stock has run so much, Home Depot will be the destination to repair the devastation caused by Sandy. My big worry for Home Depot was the possible gap between lost store dollars from weather closings and the ultimate spend to repair.
Blake told you not to worry, and sure enough, one of the best performing stocks in the DJIA, up 50% year-to-date, just got better.
Dick's is a terrific story, too. When things are slowing down in the economy, you don't go and buy yourself expensive sneakers or exorbitantly priced outdoor goods.
But Dick's triumphed over the suddenly beleaguered consumer and delivered a terrific 5% comparable store gain and forecast more good things ahead. Again, I have to put that at the feet of Stack's management, because a somewhat related company, Cabela's (CAB), failed to deliver during this period, citing the wrong weather for its outerwear selections. I don't want to slam Cabela's too much -- a spate of colder weather might be just what that sporting goods' chain needs -- but that does make me feel even better about what Dick's is up to.
The extrapolations for the success of Home Depot and Dick's have to be considered.
It's correct that Sherwin-Williams (SHW, the paint company), Masco (MAS, the kitchen and bath company) and Stanley Black & Decker (SWK, the toolmaker) have seen their stocks go higher today. That's a justifiable consequence of Home Depot's terrific gains.
You would expect Nike (NKE) to rally off of Dick's success, but Nike is too international in nature. We have to be satisfied with a run in Under Armour (UA), a big supplier to Dick's and one that's doing very well with the company.
We've seen a ton of companies disappoint this earnings season. The common theme of the ones that haven't? Awesome management. I salute Home Depot's Blake and Dick's Stack for their fabulous execution and the bountiful returns they have given shareholders of their companies.

This post was written several weeks ago and I simply haven't posted it. But I'm rewriting the introduction to this post because of what happened to my nephew.
One of the very first things that I said why did the Vajrapani Ruel and Kalachakra pendant didn't work for my nephew. Then I found out he wasn't wearing them; in fact, he spends more time not wearing them than wearing it.
And at the end of the day I had to go back and realized that when it's your time then it's your time.
Admittedly, his death shook me and made me questioned whether there is anything more that I could have done to prevent it. When I was talking to BM, my reader and friend from Davao, who was one of the very few persons that I called to personally share this news, she compassionately reminded me to not play God. Yes, thinking whether you could have done something to prevent it is actually playing God.
People were calling me, but my phone is on silent mode, so I was unable to answer them and when I saw the missed calls I just simply don't have the strength to return their call. The few calls that I was able to take, I tried my best not to sound sad and in grief. It's better not to explain to them why I was sad. Not to mention, some people when they found out that he was my cousin's son, they would think it was a distant relative. Then I would have to explain that he practically grew up with us. I think in some way I was trying to appear happy and look as if I'm not sad when I talk to people because that's how I really am in normal circumstances.
But what's ironic is that when I looked at the articles that I have written that I haven't posted this is the first article that came out.
Today, I would like to share with you a short story about a reader who is a bank manager whose sister got into an accident and went into comatose. She has been in the hospital for almost three months now and Mads, my reader who contacted me. Aside from the concern about her sister, the whole family is also worried about the mounting medical bills. As of the moment, she and her mother and her sister who is in the hospital lives with their brother who is married and has a kid. They share the hospital bills with their brother footing the bigger chunk of the cost because he is the only one who has a business, but Mads know that his brother's business while not doing bad is not really at it's peak.
According to Mads she has been a silent reader for a long time. Never did she realized that she will one day get in touch with me and need my help. When she presented her concerns to me, I was torn whether to give her Illness Suppression Amulet, but we later settled that she should simply get a Vajrapani Ruel and a Traditional Sutra Amulet, in this case she decided to get an Avatamsaka Sutra Amulet.
That was about a month ago.
Then I got this message from Mads.
In our conversation over the phone she actually thought that it won't work, but when the doctors told them to prepare, she literally held the Vajrapani Ruel and Avatamsaka Sutra and silently plead for it's miracle to work. Then a big business deal came in for his brother 2 days after she 'pleaded', the money that it will bring will help lessen their concern, on top of that, the day after she made her earnest plea, they received some financial help from 2 sets of friends who are aware of their mounting hospital bills. But the biggest miracle is when her sister came out of coma 4 days after she made her earnest plea.
Now, I believe it's what you call a miracle. Mads certainly believes that it's a miracle brought about by the Vajrapani Ruel and The Avatamsaka Sutra (TSA)!
That's how I wrote it several weeks ago. And it was just that I haven't had time to post it amongst other articles. After writing the post about my nephew, I decided to check on my 'banked' stories and this is the first thing that came out. It's ironic. But I guess it is also a message for me. My nephew didn't die in vain because in the end he thought me thru friends and my Guru Lama and this story that one should not play god by thinking that we could have saved somebody just because we believe we have given them all the protection. And most importantly one should not focus on the 'negative' because in the end we should all count the 'living'.

Trash collection giant Waste Management and the Linde Group petroleum engineering firm have partnered to create a plant that makes liquefied natural gas (LNG) from landfill gas, both companies announced this week.
Linde designed and operates the plant which is located close to Waste Management's Altamont Landfill near Livermore, Calif.
"The opening of the world's largest landfill-gas-to-LNG plant right here in California is a milestone and a testament to our commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Now that the technology has been proven, we look forward to seeing its adoption spread so more vehicles can run on garbage," Linda Adams, secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency, said in a statement.
Contrary to what might be inferred from Adams' enthusiastic sound bite, the project is not the utopistic dream of incinerating any old trash in a DeLorean for fuel, nor has either company claimed this. What the project does show is an idea that reduces pollution in two ways. The renewable source for fuel is also a naturally occurring gas that would have otherwise released itself into the atmosphere.
Waste Management collects the gas that is produced from the naturally occurring decomposition of organic trash in its Livermore landfill. The Linde plant then purifies and processes that gas into LNG. The LNG is then used to fuel some of Waste Management's fleet for collecting trash and recycling. Those vehicles, of course, having been slightly modified so that they can run on LNG.
While the plant has only produced about 200,000 gallons since it started operating in September, it has the capacity to eventually produce 13,000 gallons a day or 4 million gallons a year. That would be enough to cover the fuel needs of 300 Waste Management vehicles used for garbage and recycling collection, and save about 30,000 tons of emissions per year, according to company statistics.
This is not the municipal collection giant's first foray into trash-to-energy tech. Waste Management has been distributing solar-powered trash compactors and investing in various projects geared at converting waste in usable energy in several different forms.

What have I NOT been up to – is the more appropriate question. The Deiterings have been SO busy, we have barely had time to say 'Hey, do I know you? You're living in my house…" hehehehee. I am still in the middle of a TON of things but, I wanted to give an update in pics! They are cute pics so it will be worth the scroll down….. :)
The week before Thanksgiving week we started decorating at CPC:Benton. This is Tree #1 – I didn't get a pic of tree #2 or tree #3… weird. All of them are tall and big and they scratched up my arms… ugh.
Today we went to CPC:Conway and decorated the 9ft tree #4…..
After we got back from Conway, BFF Jess and I BEASTED the Christmas Tree #5 in the Kingdom Kids area. Literally we decorated it in 45 minutes….wow.
I made this tree skirt a couple of weeks ago for the tree – hoping and praying that it would look good with everything….
It is AMAZINGLY cute under the tree!!! I still have to put up my tree at home (#6) and I have to finish the one in KOT:Conway (#7)….. yeah… Hopefully I will finish before Christmas time… :)
This little guy was helping with the Christmas Décor at Benton, I had to catch him and let him go outside….
A couple of weeks ago Krystle and Josh were ready to take their engagement pics….. we had a plan, a day, a house to get ready in, a make-up/hair team, and a beautiful day. I can't share them because they make me laugh SOOOOOO much. They were not your typical engagement pics, and I loved it.
I have been crafting A LOT in the past couple of weeks and I think my fat cat decided she had had enough and wanted some attention….
GOODWILL finds: My girls and I have had AMAZING luck at Goodwill recently. Look at this bedspread I found for under $20. (I can't give you an exact amount, because I don't remember, but I would not have paid more than $20)
All this fabric was $1 each … what??? yes!!!
We had a LOT of rain right before Thanksgiving…this is our backyard…it was a swamp. I always say I am going to go around and take pics of the flooding, because it is SO crazy, but I never do….one day, one day…..
November 20th was my little brothers birthday (and crazy uncle Eddie)!!!!! This was us in the Dominican.
I happened to look down at my phone at 11:20 on 11-20… hehehhehheee
I made a tree skirt for my tree at home…….It will look amazing once I get the tree up…… heheheheee
OOOOOOO – Hello Ladies made this AWESOME button picture frame, we are SO in love with it….AND it's also for sale…..if interested……
Well there has been a whole lot more, but my eyes are crossing….. I promise more great PiC posts soon! :)

Does globalisation stink?
The older you get the more easy it is to predict the future that you will not see. When you are young it seems that things have always been as you find them. After you have lived over, say, half a century you witness very great changes. There is nothing very new about the pace of change though the management consultants might tell you otherwise. Dr Grumble's grandmother lived to the age of 96. As a young women she used to go about in a pony and trap. Decades before she died men landed on the moon.
One of the things that Grumble predicted though he failed to mention on the blog is that the wealthy would soon be able to buy places at university. There were a number of things that suggested that this would happen. Universities are now run like private companies. They are contract research organisations rather than academic institutions. The teaching they do has gone the same way. The student will pay and somehow recover the cost of the fees later. The management consultants say that this will improve teaching because the students will demand it. They might be right as students are, in some ways, already more demanding than they once were. We shall see.
Of course all this talk of students demanding higher standards which will benefit them and get them better teaching is really an attempt to justify the global university market. Chinese students will want to come to Britain for their education and we must prevent them going to other English-speaking nations. That's today's management mantra. You can see where they are coming from. Only last week Dr Grumble's Oxbridge college wrote to him to explain that they are running out of money as government funding has been cut back. They want Grumble to help out. Their position is unsustainable.
They didn't say so in the letter but there is an obvious light on the horizon. What Chinese youngster would not like to spend a few years in Oxford or Cambridge? Many could now easily pay for the privilege. They could just sell places to the highest bidder and their problems would be over.
This is one of the things that Grumble has been predicting. It really is inevitable. There is one more inevitable thing that Grumble has been predicting which follows from this. If wealthy foreigners can buy themselves a place at Oxbridge, why shouldn't wealthy Britons? Which is why Grumble is not at all surprised by today's news.
Many years ago Grumble got caught in a traffic jam with one of his scientific colleagues who was then, perhaps, in his 50s. He looked out of the window at the cars and said, "Thank goodness I will be dead soon." Dr Grumble though it was a joke and laughed heartily. Now he is not so sure.

Model Predicts Who Needs Vitamin D Screen
Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that serum 25(OH)D levels were positively correlated with more time outdoors, greater physical activity, higher dietary vitamin D intake, and more UV radiation.
WEDNESDAY April 17, 2013 (MedPage Today) — A model that incorporates factors such as time spent outdoors and physical activity may help predict which patients may be at risk of vitamin D deficiency, Australian researchers reported.
In a cross-sectional study, the area under the curve for predicting vitamin D deficiency using the new model was 0.82 using a 25 nmol/L cutoff, Rachel Neale, MD, of Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia, and colleagues reported online in Clinical Endocrinology.
"Given the rapid increase in vitamin D testing, without any real evidence that population screening improves public health outcomes, it is imperative that a different approach to identifying and managing vitamin D deficiency is explored," they wrote.
There's been a dramatic increase in vitamin D screening in Australia in recent years; vitamin D testing increased 100-fold in the last decade and now costs $96 million annually, the researchers said, adding that "One approach to reduce unnecessary testing would be to target testing to those most at risk of vitamin D deficiency, but the challenge is in identifying these people."
So Neale and colleagues developed a model to identify patients who were most at risk of vitamin D deficiency by doing a cross-sectional study of 644 patients ages 60 to 84 who had participated in a randomized controlled trial of vitamin D supplementation.
All patients had data on vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency, and a questionnaire assessed demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors.
Overall, 75% of the population was vitamin D insufficient (with levels below 50 nmol/L) and 10% were vitamin D deficient (with levels below 25 nmol/L).
The mean serum hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was significantly higher in men than in women (P=0.001), and there were associations between serum vitamin D and age, body mass index (BMI), location, levels of ambient UV radiation, time spent outdoors, physical activity, alcohol intake, and self-reported health status.
Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that serum 25(OH)D levels were positively correlated with more time outdoors, greater physical activity, higher dietary vitamin D intake, and more UV radiation.
Levels were inversely correlated with older age, higher BMI, and poor self-reported health status.
These predictors, Neale and colleagues said, explained about 21% of the variance in serum 25(OH)D -- which, when divided by gender, accounted for 17% of the variance in among men and 26% among women.
Overall, prediction models using these variables showed better discrimination for people who were deficient rather than insufficient, they reported. The area under the curve predicting vitamin D deficiency was 0.82 using a 25 nmol/L cutoff, and was 0.73 using a 50 nmol/L cutoff.
The net benefit for the prediction model was higher than that for a "test-all" strategy at all probability thresholds, and it was higher than the "test-none" strategy for probabilities up to 60%, the researchers reported.
"We have attempted to develop a model that would enable more targeted testing," they concluded, "but further refinement and validation is needed before we can implement a tool that could be used by the public and in clinical settings."

Denis Misanger
On Friday, the first day of May 1705, about five o'clock in the evening,
Denis Misanger de la Richardiere, eighteen years of age, was attacked
with an extraordinary malady, which began by a sort of lethargy. They
gave him every assistance that medicine and surgery could afford. He
fell afterwards into a kind of furor or convulsion, and they were
obliged to hold him, and have five or six persons to keep watch over
him, for fear that he should throw himself out of the windows, or break
his head against the wall. The emetic which they gave him made him throw
up a quantity of bile, and for four or five days he remained pretty
At the end of the month of May, they sent him into the country, to take
the air; and some other circumstances occurred, so unusual, that they
judged he must be bewitched. And what confirmed this conjecture was,
that he never had any fever, and retained all his strength,
notwithstanding all the pains and violent remedies which he had been
made to take. They asked him if he had not had some dispute with a
shepherd or some other person suspected of sorcery, or malpractices.
He declared that on the 18th of April preceding, when he was going
through the village of Noysi on horseback for a ride, his horse stopped
short in the midst of the _Rue Feret_, opposite the chapel, and he could
not make him go forward, though he touched him several times with the
spur. There was a shepherd standing leaning against the chapel, with his
crook in his hand, and two black dogs at his side. This man said to him,
"Sir, I advise you to return home, for your horse will not go forward."
The young La Richardiere, continuing to spur his horse, said to the
shepherd, "I do not understand what you say." The shepherd replied, in a
low tone, "I will make you understand." In effect, the young man was
obliged to get down from his horse, and lead it back by the bridle to
his father's dwelling in the same village. Then the shepherd cast a
spell upon him, which was to take effect on the 1st of May, as was
afterwards known.
During this malady, they caused several masses to be said in different
places, especially at St Maur des Fosses, at St Amable, and at St
Esprit. Young La Richardiere was present at some of these masses which
were said at St Maur; but he declared that he should not be cured till
Friday, 26th June, on his return from St Maur. On entering his chamber,
the key of which he had in his pocket, he found there that shepherd,
seated in his armchair, with his crook, and his two black dogs. He was
the only person who saw him; none other in the house could perceive him.
He said even that this man was called Damis, although he did not
remember that anyone had before this revealed his name to him. He beheld
him all that day, and all the succeeding night. Towards six o'clock in
the evening, as he felt his usual sufferings, he fell on the ground,
exclaiming that the shepherd was upon him, and crushing him; at the same
time he drew his knife, and aimed five blows at the shepherd's face, of
which he retained the marks. The invalid told those who were watching
over him that he was going to be very faint at five different times, and
begged of them to help him, and move him violently. The thing happened
as he had predicted.
On Friday, the 26th June, M. de la Richardiere, having gone to the mass
at St Maur, asserted that he should be cured on that day. After mass,
the priest put the stole upon his head, and recited the Gospel of St
John, during which prayer the young man saw St Maur standing, and the
unhappy shepherd at his left, with his face bleeding from the five
knife-wounds which he had given him. At that moment the youth cried out,
unintentionally, "A miracle! a miracle!" and asserted that he was cured,
as in fact he was.
On the 29th of June, the same M. de la Richardiere returned to Noysi,
and amused himself with shooting. As he was shooting in the vineyards,
the shepherd presented himself before him; he hit him on the head with
the butt-end of his gun. The shepherd cried out, "Sir, you are killing
me!" and fled. The next day this man presented himself again before him,
and asked his pardon, saying, "I am called Damis; it was I who cast a
spell over you which was to have lasted a year. By the aid of masses and
prayers which have been said for you, you have been cured at the end of
eight weeks. But the charm has fallen back upon myself, and I can be
cured of it only by a miracle. I implore you then to pray for me."
During all these reports, the _marechaussee_ had set off in pursuit of
the shepherd; but he escaped them, having killed his two dogs and thrown
away his crook. On Sunday, the 13th of September, he came to M. de la
Richardiere, and related to him his adventure; that after having passed
twenty years without approaching the sacraments, God had given him grace
to confess himself at Troyes; and that after divers delays he had been
admitted to the holy communion. Eight days after, M. de la Richardiere
received a letter from a woman who said she was a relation of the
shepherd's, informing him of his death, and begging him to cause a
requiem mass to be said for him, which was done.

Iowa State hits 11 3-pointers, beats Baylor
WACO, Texas (AP) -- Tyrus McGee scored 22 points, Melvin Ejim had 20 points and 12 rebounds and Iowa State hit 11 3-pointers in an 87-82 win over Baylor on Wednesday night.
Korie Lucious added 16 points and Niang Georges 15 for the Cyclones (18-8, 8-5 Big 12).
Pierre Jackson scored 30 points and Cory Jefferson had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Baylor (16-10, 7-6).
After doing damage from behind the arc, Iowa State took advantage of a Baylor defense roaming the perimeter. After two free throws gave the Cyclones a 74-67 lead with 3:47 remaining, their next four baskets were scored in the paint, including two layups and an alley-oop dunk by McGee.
Isaiah Austin hit a 3-pointer for Baylor to make the score 84-79 with 23 seconds to play. After a missed Iowa State free throw, Jackson was fouled with 13.7 seconds left, but missed both free throws.
Jackson, who scored in double figures in 31 consecutive games before being held to seven points in a loss to Kansas State on Saturday, scored 10 points in the first 10 minutes on Wednesday.

By the time Apple, Samsung, or Google ships a fabled smart watch, assuming either has such a product in the works, the fad may be long over. Or it may then become a real fad, not just a theoretical one discussed by bloggers. The initial emotional appeal is obvious: Techies like tech, and although the "Dick Tracy" comic series is from the distant past (the 1930s), its iconic radio wristwatch still lives in popular culture. It's the original smart watch.
In fall 2010, Apple sold a small-square iPad Nano, and enterprising souls started selling wristbands for it, so it could be worn like a watch. Other enterprising souls provided digital watch faces to download to the iPod Nano, which Apple happily sold through its App Store. (For younger readers, a watch is a usually single-function timepiece worn on your wrist. In the pre-cellphone era, we used them to tell time. They were also one of the few culturally acceptable forms of jewelry for men.)
[ The essential mobile toolkit for road warriors. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights via Twitter and with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
Sony produced its SmartWatch around the same time, and it continues to sell the Android-based device. There's also the Android-derived I'm Watch. Yet these commercial device get little attention. Instead, a bunch of startup providers have drawn the most attention, notably Wimm Labs' Wimm One prototype smart watch, which I tested, and the still-not-shipping Pebble in spring 2012. More recently, a parade of Indiegogo and Kickstarter projects have promised to create a smart watch if enough investors send in their money.
Apple stopped selling the small-square version of the iPod Nano in fall 2012, introducing the no-screen iPod Shuffle at the same size and making the Nano bigger -- definitely not wrist-friendly. Was Apple making space for a future smart watch, or did it decide there was no potential payoff in the idea? Only Apple knows, but the resurrected rumors of the last few weeks is that the company has begun aggressively hiring iWatch development staff for a 2014 or 2015 launch. Apple rumors are more often false than true, but they've spawned gossip that Google, Samsung, and Microsoft too have smart watches in development. (If the rumors say Apple will do something, more whispers always say its competitors will then copy Apple.)
In the meantime, Wimm Labs ended its Wimm One prototype sales to developers in summer 2012, saying it had licensed the technology to an unnamed company. "Stay tuned" was the basic message. (UPDATE: On August 30, Google confirmed it bought Wimm Labs.)
What good would a smart watch be? Some uses are obvious, and exist in the Sony, I'm Watch, and Wimm devices:
- A clock, obviously
- An alert of an incoming call, complete with caller ID and the ability to accept the call by tapping the screen -- presumably, while you're wearing your Bluetooth headset or have it connected to your car stereo, though the wristwatch alert could be useful for walkers to decide if they want to fish their phones out of their pockets or purses
- An alert of an upcoming appointment, again like what a smartphone does but without having to pull it from your pocket or purse, or check it while driving in a Siri-less car
- The current weather, in case you're indoors and soon to head out
- Basic updates such as recent tweets and other social posts
In other words, a smart watch as initially conceived is a second screen to the alerts on your smartphone. It's useful, but I'm not sure that's enough to create demand beyond the geek community.

Social Software for Product Development - Explorative Study on Influencing Factors and related Challenges
DescriptionAdopting social software in organizational knowledge sharing
activities has been argued to improve communication and outreach to key
stakeholders. However, when dealing with social technologies in product
development settings, organizations and individuals face a variety of
barriers that hamper the success of these tools. Therefore a
contextualized understanding of these challenges as well as the factors
that influence these challenges is needed. By means of a qualitative,
exploratory study we identify and map existing influencing factors with
related challenges. The most significant concerns raised during the
study concerned organizational activities, especially change management.
Thirty-nine challenges were identified, classified and discussed in
order to provide the product development community with practical
evidence, and also to inform future research directions in managing
social software in product development settings.

While we recently learned that Galaxy Quest director Dean Parisot would be taking the helm of Red 2 (the sequel to the 2010 hit Red), we still didn't know which original cast members would be returning for the follow-up. Well Summit has made one big casting announcement today, confirming that Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, and Mary-Louise Parker will be reprising their roles from the first film alongside newcomers Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung-Hun Lee.
The story for the follow-up will find the team of retired CIA operatives taking on a new set of enemies all across Europe. The nature of Zeta-Jones' role isn't disclosed, but I wouldn't be surprised if she plays the film's villain. I have yet to see Red, but I love the hell out of Galaxy Quest and this is certainly an impressive cast so I'm definitely going to have to rectify that sooner rather than later. Hit the jump to read the full press release. Red 2 opens on August 2nd, 2013.
Los Angeles, CA May 10, 2012 – Summit Entertainment, a LIONSGATE® company, has cast Oscar® winner Catherine Zeta-Jones (ROCK OF AGES, CHICAGO) and Byung-Hun Lee (G.I. JOE: RETALIATION, G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA) in RED 2, the sequel to the action-comedy hit RED. The sequel also reunites Bruce Willis (THE EXPENDABLES, DIE HARD), John Malkovich (IN THE LINE OF FIRE, BURN AFTER READING), Mary-Louise Parker (WEEDS, R.I.P.D.), and Oscar winner Helen Mirren (THE QUEEN). Lionsgate International will sell the film at the upcoming Cannes film market.
The project is being directed by Dean Parisot from a screenplay by Erich and Jon Hoeber, who wrote the script for the studios' first installment of the Golden Globe® nominated film. Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Mark Vahradian will produce the film via their DiBonaventura Pictures banner.
RED 2 brings back the team of retired CIA operatives as they use their old-school style to take on a new set of enemies all across Europe. The film is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2013.
Erik Feig, President, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, Production, stated "We had so much fun making RED and seeing that amazing cast assembled together – and so did consumers: over $200m worldwide and the number one home entertainment rental of last year. We can't wait to bring them back together, give them some new friends, and show they 'still got it.'"
Feig will oversee the project for the studio along with Summit Entertainment's Senior Vice President of Production, Geoff Shaevitz.
Malkovich, Parker, and Zeta-Jones are represented by WME. Willis, Mirren, and Lee are represented by CAA. Malkovich is represented by Principato-Young Entertainment.

Virginia's Department of Motor Vehicles will punish a motorist who tries to "EAT THE Kids First," yet gives a thumbs up to those who "EA7" kids or someone who "SLAPS" them. But how does Virginia feel about the place, albeit, apparently, dirty, where the kids come from in the first place? They approve. UPDATE!
Proving once again that you can't lower the price of customized vanity plates to $10 and not expect rampant abuse, another Virginian has availed themselves of state-sanctioned alphanumerics and created this masterpiece.
We have no hate for this plate. Frankly, we agree. It's incredibly difficult to keep a Volkswagen-Audi Group (VAG) product clean. Especially the white ones.
UPDATE: Jason, the owner of the DIRTY VAG, kindly sent in a clearer picture next to his PSI WAGN. This guy loves VAG.
