So this is gorgeous. The video up top is a leaked demo of the Unreal Engine 4. It's been shown at GDC, and Kotaku isn't sure if it's a new, next gen game or just a tech demo. But either way, it's stunning for in-game visuals.
Facial expressions, particle effects, light and shadows; this looks like what love would taste like to your eyes if your eyes had taste buds. And the best part is it's not just a game, it's what all the games that use Unreal will look like not too long from now. Living in the future is awesome sometimes. [Kotaku]

with two servos on each tread
"the greater the torque, the lesser the speed" so if you want to have a greater speed then look for a motor tha has a lesser torque ....
This is probably going to give you a lot of pain. The whole thing would fail/break if the two servos does not move at the exact same speed.
i have noticed though during normal servo operation that the faster you send your pulses ie. the low pulse length, the faster the servo moves to position, this would probably work well for a modified servo (if the low pulse is too short on an unmodified servo, it makes the servo jitter once it reaches position but because an unmodified servo never reaches position you can probably take it right below the usual 20-25ms).
Quote from: creedcradle on October 08, 2007, 07:55:13 PM"the greater the torque, the lesser the speed" so if you want to have a greater speed then look for a motor tha has a lesser torque .... No.You can have high torque with high speeds as well. The best thing to do is do the maths, read datasheets and adjust what you bought by controlling voltage, current, PWM and using gearboxes/sets.
I'm not sure what paulstreats was talking about with the servo pulses. With an unmodified servo. the pulse length corrisponds to a position for the servo with the center being something like 1.52ms,

BAKERSFIELD (AP) — An elderly woman who died after a nurse at her elder home refused to provide CPR had chosen to live in a facility without medical staff and wanted to pass away without life-prolonging intervention, her family said Tuesday.
Lorraine Bayless' family said in a statement to the Associated Press that they do not plan to sue the independent living facility where the 87-year-old woman died last week.
A nurse refused to cooperate with a 911 dispatcher who was pleading for someone to start CPR. Her response has prompted multiple state and local investigations at Glenwood Gardens in Bakersfield.
Bayless did not have a "do not resuscitate" order on file at the home, city fire officials have said.
During the dramatic 7-minute, 16-second exchange, the dispatcher insisted the nurse perform CPR or find someone willing to do it. She declined.
Glenwood Gardens is an independent living facility, and company officials say no medical staff is employed there. The woman who identified herself as a nurse was working at the facility as a resident services director, the company said in a release.
"We understand that the 911 tape of this event has caused concern, but our family knows that mom had full knowledge of the limitations of Glenwood Gardens and is at peace," the statement read.

Tigers Conclude Play at ASU Red Wolf Intercollegiate
JONESBORO, Ark. – The Tigers cut another stroke off their previous round as they concluded play at the ASU Red Wolf Intercollegiate. The weather conditions at the Par-71, 6,565, RidgePointe Country Club remained under cloudy skies as the teams fought off the rain.
Arkansas State won the team title with a 10-over, 862, and outscore second place Belmont by 12 strokes. Tennessee State had moved up to 12th place midway through the final round, but fell to 17th as they shot a 73-over, 925.
James Stepp placed 20th by closing out the two-day event with a 10-over, 223. South Dakota State's Hudson Carpenter claimed top medalist finishing with a 2-under, 211.
Stepp (79-71-73=223) carded a team low 2-over despite firing four bogeys and five pars for a 4-over after nine holes of play. Stepp just missed eagles on the par-5, 6th and the par-4, 8th as both of his 2-under shots lipped out, setting up tap in birdies. The junior shot 2-under on his final nine holes to lead the Tigers.
Andrew Warner (81-74-78=233) hit a 9-iron from 155-yards on the par-3, 7th, to leave 15 feet for birdie. Warner's putt just grabbed enough of the left side of the cup to fall in for his lone 1-under of the round. The senior finished the round with 10 pars.
After shooting a career high 90 during the first round, Blake Burgett (90-74-74=238) regained his form with two consecutive rounds of 74. Burgett recorded five birdies and reached as low as 1-under during the round before finishing at 3-over. The sophomore hit eight fairways and 10 greens in regulation over the final 18-holes.
After pulling his tee shot on the par-4, 1st, Burgett dropped a 10-foot putt for the first of five birdies on the day. The Nashville native converted a 20-foot uphill putt for birdie on the par-4, 3rd, and just missed an eagle on the par-5, 5th, leaving a short putt for birdie.
Matt Campbell (80-87-78=245) scored a countable 7-under, 78 by recording 12 pars. Through eight holes, the junior sat at 1-over. Campbell dropped four strokes over the next three holes before closing out at 2-over through the final seven holes.
Dallas Hill (78-85-83=246) opened the first ten holes of the day at 2-over with six pars and a birdie. Hill would fall off the pace with just one par over the final eight holes and recorded a non-countable 83. His lone birdie came on No. 6, as he drove the fairway off the tee box with a 3-wood. Hill laid up with a 5-iron, setting up a gap wedge to within 10 feet. The junior managed just 6-of-15 fairways and hit nine greens in regulation.
The men will play in their final tournament before the Ohio Valley Conference championships. The Tigers will host the Big Blue Intercollegiate at Hermitage Golf Club on Apr. 14-15.

Computer code; programming. Many modern digital artists are writing their own software using computer code to produce art. Admittedly, the mainstream art world is having trouble accepting this as an art medium. Meanwhile the artists who use code in an artistic context are increasing as is the sophistication of the work being produced.
GPL'ed Free/Libre Open Source Software for GNU/Linux
The following is software I have written for the GNU/Linux platform and is not intended as software art. This software is only available as source code which must be compiled into a binary format before it can be run. This is not uncommon on the GNU/Linux world but might seem a bit strange if you've only ever used Microsoft Windows. By making the source code available and licensing it using the GNU GPL, users are free to modify or improve the code, and re-distribute their modified versions.

Code Art, Net-Art
The software in this section is written within the context of art. In most instances it is the output of the software which is intended to be evaluated within an artistic context. See Pall Thayer's Microcodes for the opposite approach - where the code itself is to be evaluated within an artistic context.

Wryting In Code
In amongst the Journal entries there are texts which are inspired by code. The most recent of these can be found using the keywords facility to search for pages tagged with code and wryting. Some are loosely poetic, or to be found in the 'interstices' of code and poetry. Some are texts with code scattered amongst the sentences, while others contain texts written in the spaces around actual code.
Web Design
jwm-art.net is where I've practiced to most effect my web design skills. Behind the site, is a series of scripts for PHP which generate the pages from simple text files. I have sporadically developed these PHP scripts (or programs) since 2005, gradually becomming more ambitious.

Last Friday in Cannes, BBH's own Sir John Hegarty gave the following speech co-authored with co-founder Nigel Bogle (Nigel was unfortunately unable to join him due to illness).
The premise of their speech is powerfully simple: growth needs space. Space needs difference.
[slideshare id=8482536&doc=growthneedsspace-sirjohnhegartynigelboglecannes2011-110701125532-phpapp02]
Of course we could simply have put the video of Sir John's speech here on the blog, alongside the slideshare. However, as @jeremyet puts it: 'given the opportunity to celebrate the power of difference, we wondered whether we could develop something fast that would give the viewer of the filmed speech a different and enhanced experience. Cue vidazzl, which brings to life relevant keyword searches from across the web as you watch the speech.
We're planning on making this a platform where anyone can upload a speech and display it in a, well, vidazzled version, but for now you can view Sir John's speech from the Cannes Festival here and, of course, let us know your thoughts on the talk, on the presentation and on the difference.'

When it's two in the morning, there's nothing in the world more frustrating than being awakened by the urge to pee. Now, for the first time ever, researchers have shown that urination patterns are regulated by circadian rhythms (the molecular clock that controls your sleep/wake cycle, among other things.) Plus a specific protein that controls how much urine your bladder can hold.
The protein in question is called connexin43 (Cx43). Previous studies have shown that the bladders of mice with elevated Cx43 levels can hold less urine before signaling the urge to pee, and that normal mice — like humans — tend to urinate more frequently when they're awake.
In a study published in today's issue of Nature Communications, Japanese reachers led by Hiromitsu Negoro conducted a series of experiments linking Cx43 levels to circadian rhythms in mice. They found that levels of Cx43 in bladder muscle cells oscillate throughout the day in response to a well-documented circadian molecule called Rev-erbα. They also showed that mice with an abnormal Cx43 gene urinated less frequently than normal mice. Finally, the researchers demonstrated that mice genetically engineered to have dysfunctional circadian rhythms produced just as much urine as normal mice, but peed independently of regular night/day cycles.
What's cool about this study is that it provides researchers with two new ways of approaching problems like bedwetting in children and sleep-interrupting pee-urges in adults. The first is to adjust a person's circadian rhythms (this can be done by changing their sleep patterns, or prescribing medication.) The second is to identify specific therapeutic targets within the body — like the genes that express Cx43 in bladder muscles. [Nature Communications via Science]

Lancaster YWCA could lose day care license
Incident led to teacher firing
A fire drill at a Lancaster day care center led to a teacher being fired, and now the entire center may be forced to close.
The YWCA Child Enrichment Center on Lime Street proudly displays the three stars it has earned from the state for the quality care it provides 100 children nearly year round, but now it's talking about something it's not so proud of.
The Department of Public Welfare may revoke the license the Lancaster YWCA center has held for more than 30 years.
"It is a serious offense," said YWCA Executive Director Maureen Powers. "My heart just was in my shoes. It really kind of felt like I got punched."
On July 31, during a routine fire drill at naptime, a staff member didn't follow the routine. The center said the teacher thought she had cleared all 10 children out of the room.
"We have staff that goes through, then afterwards to make sure that we didn't miss anybody," Powers said.
The building manager found a toddler sleeping in one of the rooms. By the time the child was brought outside, the center said less than two minutes had passed.
The kids were still just walking across the street to get to the evacuation site as the child was brought outside. The center said it knows for sure because it has security camera footage to prove it.
"We're not taking it lightly, but it just seems that the punishment doesn't fit the crime," Power said.
One parent said the incident makes her nervous.
Amber Grebinger's son is in that same classroom. His teacher lost her job.
"I really liked her," Grebinger said. "Everybody makes mistakes, and it does happen and they do the sweep of the rooms for a reason."
The center reported the incident to the state and sent a letter home to parents. Even if the YWCA day care is allowed to stay open, it will lose all its stars and the about $50,000 worth of funding each year that comes with them.
The center has changed its policy to prevent this type of incident from happening again.
About a year ago, there was another incident at the YWCA where a child got away from a group while on an outing.
No one was hurt, but the center is concerned this will also hurt its chances of staying open.
It could be a year before the state makes a ruling.

A sad pall was cast over the World Cup kick-off today when it was confirmed that former South African President Nelson Mandela wouldn't be attending the opening match after his great grand-daughter was killed in a car crash.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation said the 91-year-old national hero, who was a key player in bringing the tournament to South Africa, learned of the 13-year-old's death Friday morning.
"It would therefore be inappropriate for him to personally attend the 2010 FIFA World Cup opening celebrations," the Foundation said in a statement, according to the Associated Press. A spokesman said Mandela would be at the game in spirit.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Zenani Mandela, 13, was killed Thursday night when a car she was traveling in was involved in an accident in Johannesburg. Tragically, she was returning home from the star-studded World Cup Kick-Off concert.
Police said the driver of the car has been arrested and charged with drunk-driving. He may also face culpable homicide charges.
"The Metro police found that he was drunk," Johannesburg police spokeswoman Edna Mamonyane told the AP. "He lost control of the vehicle and it collided with a barricade."
Zenani was a grand-daughter of Zindzi Mandela, Nelson Mandela and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's daughter.
Still, the excitement for the World Cup was palpable as fans flooded the capital city for the opening match between South Africa and Mexico. Their exuberance was matched by the South African players who exceeded expections and played to a 1-1 draw with the heavily favored Mexican team.
Before the game, FIFA president Joseph Blatter joined South African president Jacob Zuma to inaugurate the event on the field of Soccer City stadium where both men paid tribute to Mandela and his loss.
"The nation shares your loss and mourns with you, especially on the day on which our dreams and hopes come alive in the opening of the first FIFA World Cup on African soil," Zuma said.
Blatter congratulated South Africa for putting on the tournament while recognizing Mandela's role.
"The dream has come true," he said. "The spirit of Mandela is here."
Mandela's attendance was always in question due to his frail health but there was a hope among fans and organizers that he would make a brief appearance at the opening game.
The 32-team tournament will run through July 11th. The United States will begin their campaign on Saturday against highly ranked England.

Most editors I've used have made it easy to split your screen left and right, putting your code in the left half of the screen and your output on the right, maximizing the number of lines of each that are simultaneously visible. I'm just now trying out ST2, so I'm a complete newbie. I've got my output coming out in a little horizontal strip on the bottom of the screen, which can't be right. I can only see two or three lines of output at a time, yet it still blocks my view of the code, while the right side of the screen is nearly empty and useless. I obviously need to change the layout, but I don't see anything in the "View" menu for doing so.
It's probably right in front of me or buried in one of the countless text-based prefs files, either of which is fine with me, but I can't see it. It's probably head-slappingly obvious, but could someone please tell me how to split the screen, left=code, right=output? Thanks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ellen from Fit better after I washed it I like this shirt! Its silver graphic takes it a little beyond a basic tee, and it's nice to have that little extra detail. It's very comfortable and soft. I have worn it twice, the photo is after I washed it. It was a little baggy looking before hand, but shrunk just a bit to be a perfect fit. Size I'm wearing is a large, in case that helps anyone with fit.

Studies During the Sleep
Page Content
Sleep polygraph
In the main, a short sleep polygraph examines respiratory disturbances during sleep. The most common finding is obstructive sleep apnoea in which the patient presents with discontinuous snoring and episodes of apnoea during sleep and this weakens the sleep quality, causes daytime fatigue and increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, a sleep polygraph can detect the periodic movement disorder of the legs during the night that is often related to restless legs syndrome.
The examination is performed at night in the patient's home. In the afternoon preceding the night of the examination, the patient picks up the examination equipment from the KNF ward and is given instructions on how to set it up at home in the evening. If the patient so desires, some of the sensors can also be left in place during the instruction visit. In most cases, the device is programmed to operate between 10.00 p.m. and 9.00 a.m. and, in the morning, the patient should return the device to the ward with the sleep survey forms.
The study measures the respiratory airflow, respiratory movements of the chest and diaphragm, blood oxygen concentration, heart rate, snoring, sleeping position and leg movements. The examination is painless and the device should not disturb sleep to a notable extent. Acute respiratory tract infection forms a contraindication for the examination, in which case the examination needs to be postponed. Careful adherence to the instructions is crucial for the success of the study. If repeatedly unsuccessful at home, the sleep polygraph can also be performed in hospital.
Based on the quantity, quality and consequences of abnormal events during the night, the occurrence and severity of respiratory disturbances during sleep or movement disorder of the legs can be assessed. In some cases, the examination is used to assess the effect of therapy on sleep apnoea.
An extensive polysomnography is used to examine a range of sleep disorders. These include respiratory disturbances during sleep, periodic limb movement disorder, REM sleep behaviour disorder, disorder in experiencing sleep duration and excessive sleepiness diseases (narcolepsy and hypersomnia). A polysomnography is also used before a multiple sleep latency test (link) to ensure an adequately long sleep before the test.
During the preparation phase for the examination, the referring physician may give some instructions regarding the gradual ending of some pharmaceuticals affecting the structure of sleep.
The examination is performed at night in the patient's home. In the afternoon preceding the night of the examination, the patient picks up the examination equipment from the KNF department and is given instructions on how to set it up at home in the evening. Some of the sensors are left in place during the instruction visit. In most cases, the device is programmed to operate between 10.00 p.m. and 9.00 a.m. and, in the morning, the patient should return the device to the ward with the sleep survey forms.
The study measures the EEG or electrical activity of the brain, eye movements, muscle tone, respiratory airflow, respiratory movements of the chest and diaphragm, blood oxygen concentration, heart rate, snoring, sleeping position and leg movements. The examination is painless and the device should not disturb sleep to a notable extent. Acute respiratory tract infection forms a contraindication for the examination, in which case the examination needs to be postponed. Careful adherence to the instructions is crucial for the success of the study.
The polysomnography can also be performed in hospital if it is repeatedly unsuccessful at home and also if there is a need to video record the patient's behaviour during sleep for the purpose of diagnosing night-time seizures, for example.
The relative proportion of sleep phases, number of awakenings and sleep cycles provides information regarding the quality of sleep. Based on the quantity, quality and consequences of abnormal events during sleep, the occurrence and severity of respiratory disturbances during sleep, movement disorder of the legs or some other sleep disorder can be assessed.

One of my last handoffs from old Virginia Arrington to new Michigan Arrington (Diversified Creations) is this forum. I will point out this thread -- they might have ideas to help. They don't do email tunes anymore, though.
Carb Connection has been a reliable dealer for Arrington for a long time. This wasn't their first Arrington engine rodeo, although often they used Arrington tunes. I would guess that they simply wanted to play it safe. You are ~70 HP over stock for the 6.1 engine. But if you find someone who can safely tune it more aggressively (or talk CarbConn into it), you would certainly get more with the long tube headers.
As for block upgrades -- if I was taking your call a year ago, here is what I would have offered (and Arrington today will probably offer -- [email protected]).
Arrington has years of success taking the 6.1 block up to 440 c.i. This configuration is usually built high-compression and Arrington refused to put boost on it -- the walls get too thin. The most popular, though, is the forged 426 c.i. (7-liter) built with low compression (9:1) and set up for boost. I personally own one of these in my Challenger. Your block could be rebuilt to this spec. I don't think just changing the head gaskets is a great plan -- but it certainly would lower the compression. In any event mild boost (8 psi) won't hurt it just as is.
BTW, rebuilding it to a 426 is pretty similar to buying a new 6.4-based 426 stroker or just getting a Hellcat block. Do you have any other use for the 6.1-based 392? Shame to tear it down if it doesn't have many miles.
In summary -- should be more room in the tune (if done carefully), 8 psi supercharger boosting is fine (need a new tune, though), can rebuild the block bigger, don't bother with changing head gaskets.

The dang thing worked properly for about a week. Then it stopped linking up and I was using a work-around where I create a network with my laptop and connect to it with my iphone. That's OK, but it's just one more unnecessary step I'd prefer to eliminate. I'd much rather start up the ap and just go, rather than having to take computer offline just to track. Logic remote says it should work if both devices are on the same network. -That's not happening for me.
Anyone have the solution to this? Thanks!

Exploring Kahuku
Too often, the trip from Honolulu to Kahuku is a well-beaten path from downtown to the comforts of a single resort.
(page 1 of 6)
Too often, the trip from Honolulu to Kahuku is a well-beaten path from downtown to the comforts of a single resort. But if you're willing to venture off that route, you'll find a diverse community where the country is kept country, no bumper stickers necessary. Along with its close neighbor Laie, this is a place where artists and farmers, the religious and secular blend into one very tight community. Lucky for us, it's easy to step inside and get a taste of the true Kahuku.
Roughing It
They're called Eco Cabins and, despite looking like brand-new duplexes, they're made from recycled shipping containers. You can rent one at Friends of Malaekahana, which is just a little west of the state park that shares the same name. All of the rentals are right on the beach, on 40 acres of land that's gated for campers. The adventurous can get a grass shack—basically four walls and a ceiling—or, for a group, rent Tutu's Hale, which includes several places to sleep, cook and gather. It's still camping, and some of the places are dusty and rough around the edges. But if it were perfect, it wouldn't be camping, now would it? malaekahana.net
Sweet Corn
Nozawa Farms is the place for Kahuku's famous sweet corn. "We call it candy corn," says owner Clarita Nozawa, who's been farming her entire life. "People eat it right off the cob. We think that's the best way to eat it." Corn sold at the stand is always harvested the same day, which means the stand isn't always open, so if you see it, stop and grab a bag for $5. For a more expensive twist, make reservations at Alan Wong's—the restaurant is one of Nozawa's buyers. Across from the shrimp farms, on Kamehameha Highway.
Bone Carving
It's not always open, but Nui Watene's not-so-mobile truck full of his handmade bone carvings is worth a stop. Parked in the same lot as Giovanni's, Watene uses the space as a workshop, too, fashioning bone, wood and tusk into elaborate shapes like the spiral koru—a symbol of new beginnings—and ake tonu atu, a twist that symbolizes infinity. "My inspiration comes from my Maori culture. I pass that on through my pieces. For example, if I'm carving a piece and I blow onto it, I pass my mana into that piece when that goes to you." A self-taught carver, his first piece was inspired by a family heirloom. He reproduced it, humbly, out of pipe. "I didn't even know how to get bone at that point," he says. Now he's making pendants, taking custom orders, creating two-dimensional Polynesian paintings and musical instruments. If you can't make it to Kahuku for a peek, his next series will soon be available at Na Mea native books. 688-6618, facebook.com/nuicarvings.

Snap: Sleeving the leak
A geyser erupted Thursday afternoon when a contractor performing road-related drainage work inadvertently cut an old water main under the western edge of West Leigh Dive. Over a year ago, residents had been told that when new ductile iron pipe was laid under the opposite side of the road as a replacement that the old line had been decommissioned. Apparently not. Here, post-geyser, workers secure a sleeve to the old pipe (made of transite, an asbestos-infused concrete material). More pix of pumping and filling.

Celluloid Nightmares has struck a multi-territory deal with Wild Bunch on Home, Nicholas McCarthy's follow-up to Sundance hit The Pact.
Wild Bunch will distribute Candlewood Entertainment's horror film in France, Germany and Spain.
Sonny Mallhi is financing and will produce the story of a young woman who investigates mysterious goings-on at a house where she learns the previous tenant unwittingly summoned the devil. UTA Independent Film Group handles North American sales.
XYZ Films and Celluloid Nightmares' Nate Bolotin and Sarah Gabriel negotiated the deal with Wild Bunch.
Bolotin and Celluloid Nightmares have also announced a multi-territory deal with eOne on killer bee thriller Stung covering the UK, Canada, South Africa and Scandinavia, among others.
XYZ Films is producing Stung with Germany's The Rat Pack. Director Benni Diez is preparing to commence production in Europe next spring.
Adam Aresty wrote the screenplay about a fancy garden party that goes wrong when a local species of wasp mutates, resulting in an attack by giant insects. It is left to two catering staff to thwart the onslaught and in the process develop a romance.
Bolotin negotiated the deal with eOne's Jo Sweby.
"eOne is a perfect home for Stung, especially given their strong track record with elevated genre films and their deep footprint in these territories," said XYX partners. "We're thrilled to have such a quality partner on board at this early stage, as it marks a solid vote of confidence in the vision of Benni Diez, and the strength of the entire creative team behind the film."
XYZ Films recently served as executive producer action hit The Raid: Redemption, which Sony Pictures Classics released earlier this year, and has finished production on Frankenstein's Army, which MPI Media Group is selling at the AFM.

Since my last post, I've been compiling new songs into a playlist for Cat and Bones #7, title Up From the Grave, releasing winter 2013. Thanks so much to everyone who made suggestions! It's easier for me to write when I have music drowning out other distracting noises, plus I've trained myself to have a Pavlovian response to book playlists: If every time I write, I hear the same set of songs, then hearing those songs gets me into a writing mode faster.
But enough about that. The subject line promised you a giveaway, so let's get to it! I have 10 mass market paperbacks of The Bite Before Christmas anthology up for grabs. In addition to my story featuring Cat and Bones (Home for the Holidays, excerpt available here), you also get a story set in Lynsay Sands' Argeneau vampire world called The Gift.
But wait, there's more :).
At the end of the paperback edition of The Bite Before Christmas, you get a sneak peek at a chapter from Twice Tempted, Vlad and Leila's next book, out March 26th. This is a pre-revisions chapter so there are slight changes in the final version (mainly more feelings from Leila about what happens) but what does happen stays the same *cue Evil Author I-know-something-you-don't-know chortle*.
Interested? Here are the rules to enter:
1. Send an email to jeanieneprizes AT gmail DOT com (obviously use the @ and "." in your actual email instead of spelling it out like I did to avoid spammers).
2. Make sure to include your name and the email address you want to be contacted at if you win, if it's not the email you're sending your entry from.
That's it. Contest is open to readers worldwide and it starts now and ends on 11:59pm January 16th. Winners will be announced on my blog the next day and contacted via email. Good luck!

It's 2011, there have been a series of deaths, they don't seem related to the police and this is what Scotland Yard is saying at their press conference. Suddenly there is the sound of cell phone after cell phone notifying each reporter and officer in the room they have received a text. It consists of one word only, "Wrong." No it is not an admission from a super criminal, it's Sherlock Holmes. The case is interesting and the game is afoot. Steven Moffat , the current producer of BBC's Doctor Who, has brought Sherlock into the 21 Century and he fits in very well indeed.
Sherlock is played as a bit of a sociopath by Benedict Cumberbatch (his real name) accompanied by an able, but often befuddled Watson (Martin Freeman). Watson is not so much befuddled by Sherlock's amazing abilities, but by his ignorance of all social graces. Sherlock is fun, smart, and often surprising and has to be seen, it can't really be described. Sherlock is as smart or smarter than in his previous incarnations, in film and TV, but he almost seems to be an alien in a strange land that he understands very well, even though it often surprises him. In truth he sounds and acts quite a bit like Doctor Who. If you aren't familiar with Doctor Who I strongly recommend it as well. It is after all the longest running TV show in Britain.

Tilda Swinton was honoured last night at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was also her 53rd birthday. Look at her. She is ageless. She is spectacular. How spectacular?
Karl Lagerfeld was her date. Like, HE had to accompany HER to the event.
Karl doesn't gift that out to just anyone.
David Bowie was there too. David Bowie doesn't just step out for anyone.
And Anna Wintour. Anna Wintour doesn't just show up for anyone either.
It was Tilda's night. She wore metallic and white. You know who else wore metallic and white?
Mrs Timberlake.
Mrs Timberlake graced the occasion with her presence, a representative of her great husband, like Princess Catherine for the future king. Just for kicks, I checked out Mrs Timberlake's IMDB profile before writing this post. Here's how it opens:
"Jessica Biel, with her striking good looks and wide range of talent, has become one of Hollywood's most sought-out actresses."
We might need an update, non?
A resumé should always begin with the most important details:
"Jessica Biel married pop superstar Justin Timberlake in October 2012. Timberlake has sold millions of albums worldwide and recently received the MTV Video Vanguard Award. He began his career as a member of the boy band NSYNC. He previously dated Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz. Timberlake celebrated his wedding by jumping on his wife on the cover of PEOPLE Magazine. His wife started her acting career in television. He is helping her become a fashion girl. She recently attended an event in celebration of the career of the acclaimed Tilda Swinton."

Developer's Reading List, January 24, 2012 The latest books off the press cover code readability, Java performance, hunting for and prying open security defects, game testing, architecture, and even OpenVMS.
Also Received
Software Change Management — Case Studies and Practical Advice
Donald J. Reifer
Microsoft Press
A collection of 11 case studies on major IT projects undertaken in public, commercial, and academic contexts. They are presented crisply, with a good quick analysis of the issues and the results. Each chapter ends with a series of bullet point recommendations. As with all books that present case histories, their value depends substantially on how much they resonate with your own situation.
The Minimum You Need to Know to Be an OpenVMS Application Developer
Roland Hughes
Logikal Solutions
Probably the definitive book available today on how to program OpenVMS. It presents examples in C primarily (and repeats the examples in other languages) and explains in detail what the OS is doing and how it operates in the context of the specific code. OpenVMS utilities and screen management packages are also explored in detail. The explanations, however, are intended for readers familiar with OpenVMS. This is not intended to be a beginner's tutorial to the OS. The book, which was first published in 2006 but only recently came to our attention, is hard to find and is probably best ordered directly from one of the links on the author's site.
Software Architecture — A Comprehensive Framework and Guide for Practitioners
Oliver Vogel, Ingo Arnold, Arif Chughtai, Timo Kehrer
An extensive, but not deep, survey of various architectural technologies and methodologies (including Zachman Framework, Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing, 4+1 View Model, Open Group Architecture Framework, Requirements Characteristics and Types, Organizational Requirements, System Requirements, Qualities and Constraints, Requirements in the Context of Architecture, Loose Coupling, High Cohesion, Separation of Concerns, Abstraction, Modularity, Traceability, Procedural Approaches, Object Orientation, Component Orientation, Model-Driven Software Development, Aspect Orientation, and so on.) [Note: list taken from third-party review]. Overall, while clear and well-written, this feels like a textbook for a college course — without the exercises.

American Catholics who still strongly dislike the new liturgical texts once they are implemented this Advent season will have three options:
1. Stop going to church.
2. Keep attending but stop participating fully in Mass.
3. Attend, participate, and learn to live with them.
Church leaders say they are confident most people will choose that third alternative. Those finding it hard to adapt to the changes should focus less on words and more on actions, says Sister Lois Paha, O.P., director of the Department of Pastoral Services and Office of Formation in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson, Arizona.
"For those who are unable to accept it, I try to encourage them to take a deeper look at the whole process and purpose of our communal prayer," Paha says. "The celebration of the Eucharist is the center of our life as Catholic Christians. Christ comes and continues to call us to live our baptismal call. We come to the table of the Eucharist and say 'Amen' to receiving the body of Christ. In that action we give testimony that we are the Body of Christ. This is the message I try to communicate, so that I don't get stuck on a particular word or action or person that will distract me from the heart of what we do as people of faith."
Paha says she hopes that the revised English translation will not deter Catholics from participating in the liturgy "and the call of the liturgy to nourish our lives of service and ministry. I know that it will take some time to adjust to the changes in the Confiteor, the Gloria, the Creed and to learn the new memorial acclamations. I am also aware that the singing of a text will help commit it to memory. It will just take some time."
Father Theodore Book, director of the Office for Divine Worship at the Archdiocese of Atlanta, says he doesn't foresee the issue posing much of a problem. He says he has found that before they have an opportunity to learn about the texts, many people are apprehensive about the process of change. But once they have a chance to learn about them, they tend to have a much more positive attitude.
"Where the new translation is presented well, I don't think that there will be many parishioners who will strongly dislike it," Book says. "For some, the change may be more difficult than for others, but I suspect that someone who has a strong ongoing issue of disliking the text has some deeper issues regarding their relationship with the church that they need help with. I have not encountered anyone in Atlanta who has not been able to come to terms with the new texts."
Although she is excited about the new texts, Peggy Lovrien, director of the Office of Worship at the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa, is more understanding of those having trouble. She urges church leaders to be patient with critics.
"We're leaders and we need to be aware we are guiding others in their faith," Lovrien says. "What we're really dealing with is parishioners who pray texts by heart and are in love with them. We've talked with folks about acknowledging that. We're learning new habits. We're letting go of something we've known for 35 to 40 years. Maybe we'll suffer with this a bit. We need to let go of the past in order to embrace the future."
At the same time, Lovrien says adult Catholics, despite their own misgivings, are obligated to serve as role models for their children.
"They need to find a way to embrace them," she says. "It gives them the mission of Jesus. Help them move beyond the self and . . . that will evangelize the youth around us."

HUB Green Roof Terrace chosen as 2014 senior class gift
HUB Green Roof Terrace chosen as 2014 senior class gift
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State's 2014 Senior Class Gift Committee announced today (Oct. 23) that the class has chosen to support the HUB Green Roof Terrace as its gift to the University. The announcement ceremony was held in the HUB-Robeson Center's Heritage Hall on the University Park campus.
"The longstanding tradition of the senior class gift is one of the most meaningful and memorable at Penn State," said President Rodney Erickson, who accepted the gift on behalf of the University. "Class gifts go well beyond providing a tangible symbol of the loyalty and pride of a class; the class gift connects your class to every Penn State class before you.
"I know it will be an inviting space that will add to the beauty and functionality of the renovated HUB," he noted. "I'm proud of all you do for Penn State, and I'm pleased to celebrate this wonderful gift from the Class of 2014."
The seniors' gift will enhance and expand the HUB's green roof terrace, part of the current HUB expansion and renovation. The new terrace will provide additional seating as well as more space for organizational programming. The green roof will help advance sustainable architecture and design on campus and will provide several key environmental benefits, including reducing the heat island affect that traditional roofs create, allowing for better management of storm water and creating a new habitat for plants, birds and insects.
"I'm really excited that the Class of 2014 chose the HUB Green Roof Terrace as their legacy to this University," said Katia Esarey, class gift committee overall chair. "The terrace will be useful and beautiful for generation of students and alumni to enjoy. In order to make it the strongest gift possible, we ask that seniors continue pledging all or part of their $100 general deposit."
Among more than 150 gift proposals initially submitted, the HUB Green Roof Terrace was one of three finalists voted on by seniors.
If at least 3,000 seniors pledge to the class gift by the end of the spring semester, Penn State alumni and benefactors Edward and Helen Hintz will endow a $50,000 Trustee Scholarship in the name of the class of 2014.
Members of the Senior Class Gift Committee will be soliciting pledges through events, e-mails, and phone calls to students graduating in May, August or December 2014. Seniors also are encouraged to make a gift at www.SeniorClassGift.psu.edu online.
The 2014 Senior Class Gift Committee includes Katia Esarey, overall chair; Danae Blasso, communications chair; Marcy Herr, student relations chair; Devron Lovick, gift development chair; Lucas Sobchack, fundraising chair; Heather Wolfe, events chair; and Lotus Zhou, marketing chair.
For more information, visit www.SeniorClassGift.psu.edu. Questions can be directed to Geoff Hallett, senior class gift adviser, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 814-865-0198.

Brian Lawrence confirmed that he has been fired as editor-in-chief at Baltimore's STYLE magazine after 10 years in that job.
His relationship with the publication actually extended back 20 years, since he served as creative director for Blue Sky Design for a decade while Style was one of its clients. In that capacity, he was essentially the creative director of the magazine before he was named editor.
Lawrence declined comment on his departure from the magazine last week. But he said he hoped to stay in the Baltimore-Washington area and was looking for a new position.
Alter Communications owned Style until the company was sold along with the Baltimore Jewish Times in April at auction to a firm that owns the Washington Jewish Times. After the sale was approved by a bankruptcy judge, the new owners said there might be cutbacks made in management.
At its website, Clipper City Media identifies itself as the "umbrella brand of the Baltimore Jewish Times, STYLE Magazine and all the publications, products and services of the former Alter Communications. When Alter was sold to the WJW Group in April 2012, Clipper City Media was launched."
Clipper City Media executives either declined comment or failed to respond to emails seeking confirmation of Lawrence's firing over the weekend.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Region 4 Announces Award Recipient of 2011 Presidents Environmental Youth Award (PEYA)
Release Date: 04/20/2012
Contact Information: Dawn Harris-Young, (404) 562-8421, email@example.com
ATLANTA – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announced today that Andrew Day from Fort Valley, GA was selected as the 2011 President's Environmental Youth Award (PEYA) recipient. Andrew will be presented the PEYA award by EPA Regional Administrator Gwen Keyes Fleming, at the "Downtown Atlanta Cleanup Challenge Celebration" at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 11:00 am EST.
Mr. Day's award winning project focused on the formation of a Youth-Run Environmental Club, called Choosing to Lead Environmental Action Now (C.L.E.A.N.). Mr. Day initiated this club as a way to help the community of Hawkinsville, GA and inspire and encourage others to do the same. The primary goals of the C.L.E.A.N. Club are tagging storm drains in the community, educating the community, and having a youth-led and run club that promotes environmentalism and positive impact for the community. Club activities also allow Mr. Day to present current environmental issues to his peers, organize educational presentations and trips, and arrange community service projects to clean up the environment.
The PEYA program promotes awareness of our nation's natural resources and encourages positive community involvement. Since 1971, the President of the United States has joined with EPA to recognize young people across the U.S. for protecting our nation's air, water, land, and ecology.

A Small Plane Lands on a Major Chicago Roadway
The pilot of a single-engine plane has made an emergency landing along Chicago's Lake Shore Drive because of mechanical issues.
John Pederson told the Chicago Sun-Times he was flying over the lakefront about 6 a.m. when an elevator on his experimental plane broke, causing the aircraft to shake.
He says he "thought the plane was going to break apart," so he brought it down in the northbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive near Grant Park.
Pederson says two cars hit the plane's left wing after he landed, but drove off. The plane was later pushed off the roadway into a grassy area.
Chicago police say no one was injured and traffic on the roadway along Lake Michigan was back to normal within a few hours.
