So I'm just wondering if I should put anything under the dislikes section. Right now I have "windows" under there because I'd don't like using windows. However, when it comes to employment, I'll do what is necessary and I believe in using the right tool for the job.
However, what about a programming language that I don't like much but I'm experienced in it and will take a job using it if necessary? If I were being honest I would put that in my dislikes section but would that make those types of employers not want to contact me?
I guess it seems to me like having skill levels would be more useful. So what technologies are you an expert in, intermediate, or just a beginner?

CenterStack provides the auditing, security and control needed for regulatory compliance.Enterprises can use CentreStack to comply with their internal security requirements or regulatory standards like FINRA, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley and more.
An important component of compliance is the ability to record the Who, What, When, and How attributes of every user action within the system. Admins can easily search and filter logs to identify incidents.
CenterStack uses industry best practices, tools and strong encryption techniques to securely store and transmit data. Furthermore, its three tiered architecture can be deployed entirely on-premise.
CenterStack provides an additional layer of logon security using security codes sent via existing channels.
CenterStack's large enterprise customers have performed extensive security audits which have led to successful, secure deployments and advanced features like token-based authentication on mobile devices with expiring, revokable tokens, and certificate pinning.
Before transmission through a secure SSL connection, data is encrypted using AES-256 bit encrpytion. Encryption keys are private for each enterprise, even in a multi-tenant deployment.
CentreStack allows admins to revoke the access rights of specific devices, clients and users.
CentreStack allows admins to remotely wipe corporate information from a lost or stolen mobile device, maintain confidentiality.
Information leakage occurs when sensitive business data gets into the wrong hands. CentreStack's on-premise deployment addresses threats of third party services but the platform goes further to prevent information leakage by protecting business data across all devices.

Brendan DeMelle | December 3, 2012
By Brendan DeMelle • Monday, December 3, 2012 - 21:27
Royal Dutch Shell, the massive multinational oil company, badly wants to be ready to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean next summer. This year, the company's plans to begin drilling in the treacherous seas of the Arctic were thwarted by its late start and repeated failures to get even basic oil spill response equipment into place.
But the full extent of the company's failed attempts to test oil spill response gear was recently revealed by Seattle's NPR radio affiliate KUOW. Shell has faced repeated criticism and regulatory scrutiny over its cavalier attitude towards Arctic drilling, and the KUOW investigation makes clear why Shell is not "Arctic Ready" by a long shot.
Documents obtained by KUOW through FOIA requests indicate that Shell's oil spill response gear failed spectacularly in tests this fall in the relatively tranquil waters of Puget Sound.
The containment dome - which Shell sought to assure federal regulators would be adequate to cap a blowout in the event of emergency at its Arctic operations - failed miserably in tests. The dome "breached like a whale" after malfunctioning, and then sank 120 feet. When the crew of the Arctic Challenger recovered the 20-foot-tall containment dome, they found that it had "crushed like a beer can" under pressure.
That was the embarrassing news that emerged from documents released through FOIA from the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, which required the tests of Shell's proposed oil spill response system.
Environmentalist Todd Guiton sums up the implications of the failed tests on Shell's plans to drill in the Arctic:
"It failed under very calm, tranquil conditions in the best time of year up here in the Pacific Northwest. If it can't handle the best we have here, I really have my doubts it can handle even a little adversity in the Arctic."
Federal regulators are reviewing the wisdom of Shell's Arctic adventure, and are calling for more real-world testing in the Arctic Ocean to see how the oil spill response gear would stand up to extreme conditions.
Besides the horrifying prospect of an out-of-control oil disaster in the far north, why would the Obama administration want to flirt with catastrophe in the Arctic when there is (supposedly) a huge oil boom going on in the Lower 48 anyway? If there really is such a glut of recoverable oil in unconventional shale plays via fracking, then why would the U.S. or any other nation allow Big Oil to rush into the Arctic?
If Shell is this ill-prepared to operate critical safety equipment in the calm waters of Washington State, then they clearly have no business drilling for oil in the Arctic.

Good lord
This is an insane story. Can't believe it did not get a ton more press!
I am going to push this story hard to everyone and anyone that will listen.
AnOilMan replied on Permalink
I have to agree...
There's an image these days that big companies can succeed with with difficult projects. The oil industry works really hard at maintianing this image.
My experience is that this is rarely true. Heck, many oil majors have eliminated R&D because they realize that they simply can't do it very well.

It is a blind faith
Funny. Was just thinking about this. Why is there such blind faith in the power and abilities of the private sector?
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
That was
really piss-poor engineering!
AnOilMan replied on Permalink
Don't be so hard on them...
This is tough stuff. The environment they are operating in is high pressure (Submarines are for wusses who can't handle high pressure), high temperature (Space is for wusses who can't handle harsh environments) and high shock (Military work is for wusses who can't handle harsh environments). All that is before you get into Carbolic Acid, and cavitation.
For me the take home lesson is that they aren't ready yet. (Whether Shell can do it with the team it has is certainly questionable…)
My experience in the industry is that if your people can't understand this stuff from first principles, then they will likely fail. Most enigneers these days aren't that good.

text: Not to be confused with the myriad Attack Attack(s) that were all the rage at the outset of the 21st century, the Ohio-based Attack Attack! was a screamo/metalcore outfit that held true to a strict set of Christian beliefs. After forming the band in 2005, members Austin Carlile (vocals), Johnny Franck (guitar, vocals), Andrew Whiting (guitar), Nick White (bass; later replaced by John Holgado), Caleb Shomo (keyboards), and Andrew Wetzel (drums) inked a deal with Rise Records and released their debut, Someday Came Suddenly, in 2008. They also released a video for the album's lead single, "Stick Stickly," and drew some heavy criticism from publications like The Guardian, which likened the band's synchronized headbanging to "a pack of novelty dashboard toys who've been nailed to the dashboard of a milk float." Following the old adage that any press is good press, Attack Attack! continued touring in support of the record, sharing stages with the likes of Black Tide, Burn Halo, and Escape the Fate along the way. Carlile left during the 2008 tour and was replaced by former For All We Know vocalist Nick Barham, who remained with the lineup for one year before making his own exit. Rather than hire a new singer, Attack Attack! promoted keyboardist Caleb Shomo to the frontman role and began working on a new album. The self-titled Attack Attack! appeared in June 2010, marking Shomo's debut as lead vocalist. Later that year, Johnny Franck announced he was parting ways with the band, leaving Shomo to handle all of the vocal duties. The band's first album as a quartet, This Means War, appeared in 2012, and also featured Shomo not only handling all of the vocals on the album, but the production as well. ~ Chris True & Andrew Leahey

In a movie career spanning four decades, John Goodman is notorious for stealing scenes. Not quietly like a cat burglar, more of a smash-and-grab type, leading with his girth and booming voice, leaving co-stars in his wake.
This year, Goodman has committed grand acting larceny three times, as a major league baseball executive in 'Trouble with the Curve,' a Hollywood makeup artist helping the CIA in 'Argo,' and now 'Flight,' playing Harling Mays, the garrulous go-to guy for a drug-addicted airline pilot played by Denzel Washington.
Any of those performances could earn Goodman, 60, his first-ever Academy Award nomination. On this particular Saturday, Goodman prefers talking on the telephone about sports -- anything but his Oscar chances. He gets around to that, in these freewheeling interview excerpts:
Q: As an actor, what do you learn from performing with Denzel?
A: I like the way he works, even just watching him. He cuts the ... out of things faster than anybody I know, just gets right down to the bone of the character. Laser focus. Somebody you can trust.
Q: You had your share of heavy partying in the past. Ever know an enabler like Harling?
A: Oh, yeah. Mostly they're just really lonely in the way they choose to live. You're always going to have friends if you have a stash like that. Consequently, he's never lonely, and he can control things. He can be the top dog if he wants, but I think he truly hero-worships (Washington's character), and would do anything for him.
Q: It occurs to me that Harling is a combination of the Dude and Walter from 'The Big Lebowski.'
A: (Laughs) That sounds very weird. Well, I know he takes his cues from the Dude's wardrobe. He might be a Lebowski fan himself; one of those guys who watches it over and over, in a stimulated state of mind, let's say.
Q: Do you still get feedback from fans of 'The Big Lebowski'?
A: All the time. When people approach me on the street, that's usually what they bring up. I showed up a couple of years ago at a reunion screening in New York City. I wanted to stay and watch the movie with the fans because they were all dressed up in Lebowski costumes, raring to go. But I just couldn't. I'd love to go with Jeff (Bridges) to one of those Lebowski Fests sometime.
Q: You just wrapped your sixth movie with Joel and Ethan Coen. What can you tell us about 'Inside Llewyn Davies'?
A: The movie takes place in 1961, at the beginning of the folk (music) movement on MacDougal Street in New York's Greenwich Village. Llewyn Davies is a folk singer, and in my case he hitches a ride for gas money with me to Chicago. I kind of drive him nuts on the way.
Q: What is it about the Coens and you that works so well together?
A: They just tickle me to death, and they write good stuff. We're almost the same age, and we have the same things to draw back on. Just goofy stuff from childhood -- common television shows, films we enjoy, a lot of reference points. Early on, it turned out we all read Mad magazine. Little stuff like that, a common sensibility. Working with Joel and Ethan again, it was like old times.
Q: You have three performances this year being touted for Oscar nominations. Is that sort of thing important to you at this stage?
A: Not really. It's controlled by too many different things. It was nice to see 'The Artist' get nominated last year and win. But it's certainly not something you think about ahead of time. To be honest with you, I don't pay it much mind now. You can't take it too serious or you'd go nuts. It's almost as goofy as life itself.

(In predicted order of finish)
(In predicted order of finish)
Yankees: Finally free of Alex Rodriguez, Joe Girardi has a new deal, a healthy team and no distractions … yet.
Red Sox: To paraphrase David "Big Papi" Ortiz, last year was their (bleeping) year. Lightning won't strike twice.
Rays: Window to win grows smaller as David Price inches toward free agency.
Blue Jays: Still looking for a return on Marlins deal that brought in Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle.
Orioles: Panic spending led to spring signings of Ubaldo Jimenez and Nelson Cruz. Not enough.
In a nutshell: The AL East once again will be the strongest division in the game, with the Yankees' spending spree putting them over the top.
Prolific hitter: Chris Davis, Orioles. Needs to prove his first half (37 home runs, 1.109 OPS) was more reflective of his talent than his second half (16 homers, .854 OPS).
Dominating pitcher: Price, Rays. Despite going down in May and missing six weeks with a triceps strain, Price returned to form with a 2.53 ERA the rest of the season.
Top rookie: Masahiro Tanaka, Yankees. After going 24-0 in Japan and getting a $175 million deal, Tanaka won't be graded on a curve in his first major league season.
Savviest manager: Joe Maddon, Rays. Motivational genius recently quoted novel "By the Rivers of Babylon" as part of coaching philosophy: "A civilization will survive if everyday people did everyday things every day."
Breakout player: Tanaka. For his money, he better break out of the gate quickly.
Potential bust: Carlos Beltran, Yankees. Whether knees will hold up is the key. Home runs for Cardinals declined from 19 in first half to five in second.
Best nickname: Big Papi, Ortiz. A big legend needs a big nickname.
Tigers: Dumping Prince Fielder for Ian Kinsler won't have any real effect until October, when Prince traditionally abdicates.
Royals: Lorde's favorite team is so loaded they let Emilio Bonifacio escape to small-market Cubs.
Indians: Played .789 (30-8) vs. White Sox and Twins and .500 (62-62) against all others, so they are due for a market correction.
White Sox: Added leadoff man Adam Eaton, slugger Jose Abreu and are platooning Adam Dunn vs. lefties. Can't possibly be as bad as 2013, right?
Twins: After serving up 59 home runs for Yankees the last two years, Phil Hughes received $24 million for three years. Oof.
In a nutshell: Still no real competition for the Tigers, though now is the time for the Royals to step up and contend.
Prolific hitter: Miguel Cabrera, Tigers. Losing Prince Fielder as protection hurts, but not enough to prevent another MVP-caliber season.
Dominating pitcher: Chris Sale, White Sox. Doesn't have the street cred of Justin Verlander yet, but will by the end of 2014.
Top rookie: Yordano Ventura, Royals. With an 0.95 WHIP entering the final days of spring training, he sealed a spot in the rotation.
Savviest manager: Terry Francona, Indians. Rebounded from the 2011 Red Sox collapse to prove he can control a clubhouse. Two rings aren't an accident.
Breakout player: Norichika Aoki, Royals. New leadoff man should thrive for Royals after two decent seasons with Brewers.
Potential bust: Joe Nathan, Tigers. Returned to dominant form the last two years for Rangers, but he's 39 and the odometer is turning faster.
Best nickname: Tank. Dayan Viciedo, White Sox. If only the numbers were as good as the nickname.
Angels: Baseball's biggest busts of 2013 should revert to norm if Albert Pujols, Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton all do their thing.
Athletics: GM Billy Beane gets all the credit, but hitting coach Chili Davis helped this collection of no-names rank third in AL runs, home runs and walks.
Rangers: Derek Holland tripped over his dog and tore up his knee in January, damaging an already suspect rotation outside of Yu Darvish.
Mariners: With no one to protect Robinson Cano in lineup, the Mariners are parking their Mercedes in a handicapped zone.
Astros: Manager Bo Porter told his team in spring to "shock the world," but did not provide the players with enough Tasers.
In a nutshell: The critically acclaimed AL West is stockpiling megamillionaires but hasn't won a World Series since 2002.
Prolific hitter: Trout, Angels. The Bruce Springsteen of baseball lives up to his hype and is only getting better.
Dominating pitcher: Felix Hernandez, Mariners. Five straight seasons of 200 or more innings and 200 or more strikeouts.
Top rookie: Taijuan Walker, Mariners. Despite late start because of shoulder inflammation, eventually figures to be fixture in rotation.
Savviest manager: Ron Washington, Rangers. Once paid a $200 fine from MLB with 20,000 pennies.
Breakout player: Brad Miller, Mariners. Slick-fielding shortstop had a great spring and has power to all fields.
Potential bust: Shin-Soo Choo, Rangers. Had a .215 average against left-handers in 2013, but still got a $130 million deal.
Best nickname: Millville Meteor. Trout. Kind of like the Kansas Comet (Gale Sayers) of baseball. So bad it's good.

Here at Kotaku, we're big proponents of facial hair, even if some of our esteemed colleagues aren't with the program yet. Now science proves that a bushy moustache does indeed make males more attractive to females. Well, female fish at least.
Science is all about answering unanswered questions. Why is the sky blue? Why do birds suddenly appear? Why do some Mexican molly fish sport moustache-like facial appendages, while others do not?
The answer to all of these questions is simple - for the ladies. The answer might not seem like it matches the first question, but I assure you, it fits, somehow.
And it definitely fits the third.
For years, zoologists like Professor Ingo Schlupp (best name ever) of the University of Oklahoma in Norman and his colleagues puzzled over the fact that certain male Mexican mollies (Poecilia sphenops) sported lip ornaments, while others did not.
It should have been obvious. Well, perhaps not to a man named Ingo Schlupp, but to most of us at least. Especially considering that the molly is a rare sort of fish that fertilizes eggs inside the female body, instead of spreading semen over a bed of pre-laid eggs.
These fish are lovers.
Still, science requires proof, so Professor Schlupp and associates captured more than 100 specimens of molly, both male and female, mustachioed and hairless, testing them by seeing how long the females spent with males of either variety.
Overwhelmingly, the females preferred males with facial hair.
The researchers results are published in the Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology journal, in which one writes, ""The moustache-like structure seems to be a previously unrecognized sexually selected trait in poeciliid fishes."
So that answers one question, but one still lingers. What about moustache rides? Oh yes, aquatic moustache rides are go.
"This is based on the general observation that males will touch the female's genital region with their mouth prior to mating," Prof Schlupp told the BBC.
The scientists call this behavior "nipping," and believe it helps give the female more information about the male.
I'm leaving that one alone.
So there you have it. Scientific proof that facial hair is sexy. We can all rest easy now. Well, except Ashcraft and Totilo. They've got some growing to do

A History of the Sky captures 360 24-hour time-lapses of the sky over the course of a year. Ken Murphy, a self-described "programmer, artist, and tinkerer," custom-designed the technology to shoot 8,640 photographs a day from the roof of the Exploratorium, a science museum in San Francisco. The setup includes an old point-and-shoot digital camera, a computer running Ubuntu Linux, a 4GB memory card and a network connection to automatically transfer the photographs, which totaled over 3 million in the course of the year. He shares how he did it in an interview below.
Best viewed full screen in HD.
The Atlantic: What inspired you to get into time-lapse photography?
Ken Murphy: I had the idea for A History of the Sky before I'd played around with time-lapse at all. The original concept was to create a visualization that used real patterns from nature in an abstract and hopefully interesting way. Time-lapse photography wasn't a part of the plan at first, but once I started experimenting with it, I knew I wanted to incorporate it into the piece. I find the technique compelling because it tunes us into events that unfold at a rate that we're otherwise unable to experience directly.
The camera setup, with a Canon A520 with wide-angle lens.
Why did you choose the roof of the Exploratorium as the place to shoot A History of the Sky?
Finding the right spot for a long-term time-lapse project is tricky. I needed a location that was secure, where I could leave my shooting rig undisturbed for a long period of time, and had power and network access. Furthermore I wanted a clear view of the northern sky, so that the sun or moon would never be in frame. After poking around on Google Maps, I realized that the Exploratorium building was the perfect spot; it's at the northern edge of the city, with an unobstructed view over the Bay and Marin headlands, so there is minimal light pollution at night. Fortunately I'd worked with some people at the Exploratorium before, so I approached them with the idea, and they said yes.
The camera setup looking north over San Francisco Bay and the Marin headlands.
What is the time-lapse interval of photographs in A History of the Sky?
The camera took a picture every 10 seconds, around the clock. That's 8,640 images per day, and over 3 million per year. I chose that interval because with anything less than that, the movements of clouds and fog would zip by too quickly when I played them back at 24 frames per second.
How did you put all the images together to make the video?
As the images were captured, they were automatically downloaded, renamed according to the date and time, and saved to a big external disk. I then used a variety of open-source tools with a bit of my own programming to process the images into the large mosaic video.
Is there anything you want to shoot a time-lapse of that you haven't tried yet? What's next for you?
Lots of things! I'm starting to experiment with time-lapse studies of tidal movements of bodies of water, and have begun collaborating with the Exploratorium again for this project. I feel like there's a lot more to explore with the panoramic technique also – playing with different spans of time as well as different subjects. It works well in an urban setting and with groups of people, as well as with more expansive natural scenes. I plan to do some traveling in the near future around California and beyond to shoot some more panoramic pieces.

it's the first i make when update package (merge changes in /etc/makepkg and /etc/pacman.conf)
but need keep SyncFirst
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst = linux-headers linux-lts-headers
need this to update kernel headers before update kernel, because i use mkinitcpio to update DKMS modules [1]
if upgrade kernel before install headers, the build dkms modules fail

That feature was broken and regularly caused more harm than good so was removed. What we really need is post update hooks added to pacman to provide what you are looking for, but unfortunately that has never progressed beyond planning. (Not a solution for now I know...)
oks, thanks
since I am the maintainer of the mentioned mkinitcpio-dkms package and in the same situation, I was thinking about a solution for this problem. There are various threads in the forums discussing it, which recommence to use something like `pacman -Sy linux headers && pacman -Su` for system update. But this approach doesn't feel right to me.
So I came up with the idea of installing the headers within my dkms hook, maybe with check of header and kernel version to match, and put the header package as IgnorePkg in the pacman.conf. But that doesn't look very solid either.
I am curious what others think about this approach. Maybe only as workaround until we get the mentioned post update hooks for pacman.

How will you install something while pacman has a lock on the database?
By manually downloading and extracting the package :-D
How will you install something while pacman has a lock on the database?
Good point, indeed you can't. So the only solution seems to be this wrapper-ish UDF.
Or just rebuild the initramfs after the update: `pacman -Syu && mkinitcpio -p linux`
"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
Or just rebuild the initramfs after the update: `pacman -Syu && mkinitcpio -p linux`
The point is, you need more than one command to update your system including kernel and modules. If you have two pacman calls or one pacman and one mkinitcpio in your UDF doesn't matter here. There should be one command to manage all (except wrapper calls ). It may sound stupid but that's what it should be imho. No fancy stuff for non-fancy things.
And like Allan said, post update hooks are planned for quite some time. They will simplify many things. If they come.
That's what I'm using now.

So the answer is to comment the SyncFirst line then in the /etc/pacman.conf file ?

Gotta pair of Benjamin's in your pocket and a hankering for some excellent sound for your iPod (without breaking the bank)? Check out Fluance's recently released iPod dock that starts right around $200 for the whole package. "You'd be hard-pressed to find an iPhone/iPod speaker-dock system that performs as well as Fluance FiSDK500 for $200." That's the bottom line from cNet reviewers David Carnoy and Steve Guttenberg, who give a solid round of high marks to this Canadian import. Though they may not be well known, Fluance have a track record of success, impressing Carnoy and Guttenberg a few years back with the quality of their home theater systems. That's enough for the pair to recommend the FiSDK500 with confidence, not only because it sounds great but because it come from a solid company. Want some more insight?

The Lotus Effect describes water droplets rolling off leaf surfaces, removing dirt and contaminants in the process. This phenomenon can also be seen in the more common nasturtium. Scanning electron microscope images show that nasturtium leaves are covered by waxy nanocrystal bundles. The uneven surface created by these tiny structures traps air between water and leaf, causing the water to roll off. Research on such nanoscale effects has inspired revolutionary new materials, including water- and stain-resistant fabrics. • SIZE: The wax nanocrystal bundles covering the leaf are each about 1-2 µm wide. • IMAGING TOOL: Scanning electron microscope

It has been a while since the last post… Come again and explore the wilderness with us. We are rediscovering that only through sharing will we save this magnificent planet. Social media gives us the ability to share photographs, thoughts, ideas, and knowledge almost instantaneously with powerful effects. A great example of this is National Geographic's "The Great Nature Project". This is a worldwide celebration of our diverse planet through photographs submitted by people around the world. WE must all participate by tag all photograph uploads of plants and animals #GreatNature Become part of a Guinness World Record attempt to upload the largest-ever online photo album of nature photographs. The Great Nature Project is part of a new age of exploration by millions of people around the world with cameras and instruments gathering important data and research for a better world.
Guides, rangers, researchers, ecotourists, photographers, artists and conservationists around the world apply themselves everyday to sharing, studying, photographing, writing about and celebrating the "wild" with their guests, co-workers, colleagues, and local communities. These amazing photographs are a window into their world, a world where the lions, elephants, orangutans and leopards still reign supreme and we can dream of that perfect morning in the wilderness. Ranger Diaries and The Bush Boyes have teamed up to bring you the "Top 25 Photographs from the Wilderness". These stunning photographs are selected from hundreds of submissions and are intended to bring the beauty, freedom and splendour of the wilderness to as many people as possible around the world.
Submit your best photographs from the wildest places to the The Bush Boyes Facebook page or Ranger Diaries website, and stand a chance of being featured in the "Top 25 Photographs from the Wilderness" published each week.

A pregnancy rumor finally appears to be true for Kate Hudson.
The actress, who has been the subject of pregnancy rumors for some time, looks to finally be in the family way with boyfriend Matthew Bellamy, frontman for British rock band Muse, according to sources cited by "People" and "US Weekly." This is Hudson's second child, joining seven year-old Ryder Robinson, her son with ex-husband Chris Robinson of the band The Black Crowes.
Just over a year ago, Hudson was seen smooching New York Yankee's superstar Alex Rodriquez in the romantic seclusion of centerfield at Yankee Stadium and was even rumored to be moving in with the slugger. Hudson and Bellamy have been an item for the past nine months.
The actress and musician are said to be overjoyed at the news.
Hudson was last seen in the 2010 film "The Killer Inside Me" and has several projects pending.

Fun even on multiple playthroughs
Definitely a fun title. The random loot makes more playthroughs fun, you can always find some new, better or different weapon. Definitely a good game to grab,
Lots of variety
Mixes firefight heavy levels, pure stealth levels, and hybrid levels that appeal to all kinds of players. There will be a few difficult spots no matter what skill set you prefer. The story just cuts off, but its a fun ride.
I mean, it's Borderlands
Great FPS title. The graphics style rubs some people te wrong way, but the humor and storytelling are exceptional. Add in the crazy characters and endless supply of ever-improving weapons and you have a foundation for an incredible franchise.
Robust experience
For the good but not incredible graphics experience, this game brings in a ton of content that can change wildly from every decision you make from the start. Worth more than one playthrough, and each of those is a hefty investment.
Solid LOTR Meets Assassin's Creed
Very good game for a while, but gets stale once the storyline starts to finish. The expansions are fun, but some of the stuff you can do in them doens't translate back into the main storyline. overall, a fun purchase, but it won't be the last game you buy,
by GUBallboy, USA - Oct 28th 2015
All around solid
The storyline is engrossing, if a little cofusing at times, and the gameplay is solid with a lot of potential strategic variety. It really allows players to determine how they like to approach combat while still keeping the overall structure straightforward. Another great installment in a solid franchise.
by GUBallboy, USA - Jul 30th 2014
A great addition to a great series
The gameplay is an improvement to the first game in the franchise (arkham asylum), and the storyline is just as involved and complex, with a number of different branches that slowly come together to create a fascinating environment. A solid buy.
by GUBallboy, USA - Apr 2nd 2014
All about value
For the price you're paying, solid addition to a game library. The controls are a little unconventional (timed/rhythme based combat), and some of the mechanisms are a little difficult to keep track of/ use, but, again, good purchase at the price.

Bloomberg recently reported a story that highlighted the recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force on yearly mammograms for women aged 40 and above. According to the story, the guidelines released by the task force suggested that annual mammograms for most women in their 40s have more drawbacks than benefits and therefore, women should wait until age 50 to start getting breast cancer screening tests every two years.
Here is the story:
November 17, 2009
Annual mammograms for most women in their 40s have more drawbacks than benefits, said a panel of U.S. doctors that recommended women wait until age 50 to start getting breast cancer screening tests every two years.
The change in guidelines released by the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force, a government-backed physician group, said women in their 40s are more likely to get false-positive tests that can lead to unnecessary biopsies and anxiety. The recommendations, which also said that self-examinations were unnecessary, don't apply to women who carry a high risk for breast cancer. Those women should talk to their doctors about when to get screening, the panel said.
The new guidelines, published yesterday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, pit the task force against the American Cancer Society, which insisted doctors should still advise women to undergo routine annual screening starting at age 40. About 64 percent of women ages 40 to 49 had an X-ray of their breasts during the past two years, the panel's report said.
"This is not a blanket recommendation not to worry until age 50," said Diana Petitti, a disease epidemiologist at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, and vice chair of the panel. "It's a recommendation to have a discussion with your physician to better understand the trade-offs between starting exams now and starting later."
Imaging machines for mammograms, and related supplies, are marketed by Fairfield, Connecticut-based General Electric Co., Bedford, Massachusetts-based Hologic Inc. and Munich-based Siemens AG.
Insurer Coverage
J. Leonard Lichtenfeld, the American Cancer Society's deputy chief medical officer, said the panel's guidelines may affect insurance payouts. 'Our hope is that insurers will not make any change in coverage," Lichtenfeld said.
WellPoint Inc., the top U.S. health insurer by enrollment with 34 million members, pays for annual mammograms for women age 40 in the majority of its health plans. The Indianapolis- based company periodically reviews its reimbursement policies and "doesn't adhere to any one source" for guidance, said Jill Becher, a company spokeswoman in Milwaukee.
The new guidelines, if widely adopted by physicians and insurers, could reduce the number of U.S. mammogram screenings by 58 percent, from the current 37.2 million annually to 15.6 million under a "worst-case scenario," Junaid Husain, a Boston-based analyst at Soleil Securities, wrote in a note to investors today.
Detecting Cancer
Mammograms, self-breast examinations, and doctor's exams are the three main forms of detecting breast cancer. The task force said there was no evidence that self-exams reduce breast- cancer deaths, and insufficient information exists to recommend that doctors do routine physical exams.
The mammograms are used to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease, and also to check for breast cancer after a lump or other signs of cancer have been found, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among U.S. women, after lung cancer, killing 40,480 women in 2008, according to the task force report.
The task force analyzed published research and developed computer-simulation models to evaluate the likely health outcomes if mammograms were begun at certain ages and done every one or two years.
Deaths, False Positive Tests
The study confirmed earlier research that women who have mammograms die less frequently of breast cancer than those who don't have the tests. About two deaths per 1,000 women are averted if women begin annual screenings rather than exams every two years starting at age 40, the task force estimated.
It also estimated that women who begin getting mammograms at 40 will have about 60 percent more false positive results per 1,000 exams than women who start screenings at age 50. A false positive, in which an abnormality is seen that proves not to be cancer, typically leads to additional screenings and tissue biopsies, the panel's researchers said.
The cancer society challenged the reliability of the task force study's methods.
"We are reluctant to recommend changing a proven program that has helped to save lives," Lichtenfeld said. The society questions whether the task's force computer modeling "is sufficiently sophisticated and accurate enough," he said.
High-Risk Women
The recommendations aren't intended for women older than 40 who have a higher risk for breast cancer. Increased risk can come from having a gene mutation linked to breast cancer or having been exposed often to chest radiation, which can raise the probability of breast cancer.
The task force said it didn't make recommendations for these higher-risk groups because it lacked sufficient data to know the benefits of more frequent screening tests.
Women's health groups varied in their responses to the new guidelines.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the Dallas-based breast cancer advocacy group, said it won't change its recommendation that women ages 40 to 49 get annual mammograms. "We would not want to see a change in policy or reimbursement for screening mammography at this time," said Eric Winer, the group's chief scientific adviser, in a statement.
The task force's recommendations were applauded by the National Breast Cancer Coalition, a Washington-based advocacy group, which said the guidelines support its position.
'Deserve the Truth'
"Women deserve the truth even when it is complicated," said Fran Visco, the coalition's president, in a statement. "They can accept it."
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists rejected the task force's recommendations, maintaining its guidelines that women in their 40s be screened every one to two years and women age 50 and older get annual exams, according to a statement issued by the group on Monday.
Researchers and physicians know that results from the X- rays aren't as reliable in younger women as in older women. Women in their 40s typically have denser breast tissue, making it more difficult for technicians to determine if an image is normal or cancerous.
After women enter menopause, typically about age 50, the breast tissue becomes less dense and more fat, and the X-rays can be more accurately interpreted, said Susan Love, president and medical director of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation in Santa Monica, California.
'Long Overdue'
The panel's suggestions for women ages 40 to 49 are "long overdue," said Love in a telephone interview. "Most countries in the world do not do mammography screening until age 50."
"There is a lot of anxiety created when someone tells you that there is something that showed up in a test," said Karla Kerlikowske, an epidemiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center who wrote an editorial accompanying the task force report.
Subsequent exams expose women to more radiation, and although biopsies are "low risk," some patients develop infections or experience pain and bruises, she said.
Screening women ages 50 to 74 every two years "achieves most of the benefit of annual screening with less harm," the task force said. Now women in the older age group get a mammogram, on average, every 14 months, according to the report.
In forming its guidelines, the task force's "biggest concern" was that women would be confused by conflicting advice from health experts or wrongly interpret the panel's message as a blanket recommendation for those ages 40 to 49 to forego screening until they turn 50, Petitti said.
Risks, Preferences
Instead, decisions by women younger than 50 and their doctors should be based on "the risk for breast cancer and preferences about the benefits and harms" the task force wrote in the study.
Although the recommendations are "very clear and thoughtful," women are likely to be confused by the different advice of health experts, Kerlikowske said.
It may be difficult to persuade many women in their 40s who have been told by their doctors for years that annual screenings are beneficial to accept the panel's recommendations, said the cancer society's Lichtenfeld.
"The task force is saying you can get 70 percent of the benefit if you get a mammogram every two years compared with every year," Lichtenfeld said. "There will be women who say, 'I want 100 percent of the benefit.'"

Douglas Graham, Ph.D. Research One North(RC1-North), Room 4101 firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: 303-724-4006
The Graham lab focuses much of its research on the role of Mer and Axl receptor tyrosine kinases(RTKs) in development and progression of human cancer. Mer is overexpressed in multiple human cancers and is transforming in vitro. With a particular focus on leukemia, lymphoma, and non-small cell lung cancer, the Graham lab has elucidated pro-survival pathways which are activated as a result of abnormal Mer and Axl activation. Specifically, the abnormal expression of Mer and/ or Axl leads to downstream activation of AKT and ERK 1/2 and mTOR, allowing cancer cells to survive even in the presence of apoptotic stimuli. In solid tumors, the Mer and Axl RTKs are important in cancer cell invasion. Using shRNA knockdown of Mer, a prolongation of survival has been found in xenograft studies. Recently, novel biologic inhibitors of Mer and Axl have been developed in the Graham lab and are being tested in preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies.
The Graham also studies the role of Mer and Axl in normal cellular functions. Recently, a truncated and soluble from of Mer (sMer) has been discovered which binds and sequesters the Mer/Axl ligand Gas6, thus preventing activation of membrane-bound Mer. Thus, sMer regulates Mer and Axl's role in macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells and in platelet aggregation/clot formation. Current investigations are testing the potential use of sMer as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of patients with clotting disorders.

tado° heating app now available for Windows Phone
Munich, 26 November 2014 - Today the Munich-based company tado° presents its smart heating app for Windows Phone. Now Windows Phone users can also use the tado° Smart Thermostat and accompanying app to easily reduce their heating costs.
tado° is the first smart thermostat that automatically adjusts to house residents' daily routines, like a personal heating assistant. The tado° smartphone app detects when the last resident leaves the house and automatically turns down the heating. As soon as the first person starts heading home, tado° reacts immediately and begins heating up the house so that it's nice and warm by the time they arrive. Through this automatic heating control, tado° helps its customers to cut their annual heating bill by up to 31 percent.
When tado° went to market in 2012 the heating app was initially available for iOS and Android only. As of today the tado° app is also available for Windows Phone users to download. Particularly in Europe - the core market for the tado° Smart Thermostat - the smartphone operating system from Microsoft is growing increasingly popular. "With the release of Windows Phone 8.1, Microsoft has put an excellent operating system out there. Particularly the location services, which are especially important for the automatic heating control by tado°, work outstandingly," explains Johannes Schwarz, Founder and CTO of tado°.
"We would like to make our tado° solution available to as many people as possible, allowing them to easily save energy and money while also increasing their comfort at home. That is precisely what we are doing today by expanding to Windows Phone," adds Christian Deilmann, Founder and CEO of tado°.
"For us, tado° is an extremely promising provider," says Peter Jaeger, Senior Director Developer Experience & Evangelism (DX) and Member of the Board at Microsoft Germany. "We are delighted that the smart tado° solution is now also available for Windows Phone. Using the Live Tiles, tado° customers can now even check the status of their smart thermostat instantly, without opening the heating app."
The tado° App can now be downloaded free of charge from the Windows Phone Store and is available from Windows Phone 8.1.

STORRS (AP) -- Former Connecticut football coach Paul Pasqualoni said Wednesday he was never told that one of his players had been accused of sexually assaulting a woman on campus.
UConn's police chief disputes that assertion.
Rosemary Richi, a junior, says she was raped by a football player in September 2011, and is one of four women who last week sued the university in federal court, alleging the school violated their rights by failing to properly respond to their accusations. She is also part of a complaint against the school filed last month with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.
The AP does not normally name the alleged victims of sexual crimes unless they wish to be identified. Richi has gone public with her complaint.
Reached by phone Wednesday, Pasqualoni, who was the coach both at the time of the incident and when the complaint was made earlier this year, told The Associated Press he was not contacted about the allegation.
"I was not ever informed," said Pasqualoni, who was fired earlier this season after his team started 0-4. "I was never made aware of anything. We never had those issues when I was there."
UConn Police Chief Barbara O'Connor said the school notified the athletic department of the incident in June.
"The detective advised Mr. Pasqualoni a state's attorney from the Judicial District of Tolland had reviewed the investigation and determined there was insufficient evidence to prosecute the case," she said in an emailed statement.
The school said the athletic department is typically notified when an athlete is arrested or has a case before the Office of Community Standards. Pasqualoni said police routinely notified him in other cases when players got in trouble with the law.
"Absolutely they did," he said. "And there was no hesitation about it either."
In the lawsuit, Richi said the assault occurred when she was a freshman, after she had drinks with the player in his room.
When she got up to leave, he pushed her down on his bed and raped her while his roommate slept in another bed, she alleges in the lawsuit. He then admonished her in person and in a text message not to tell anyone, according to her lawsuit.
Richi wrote about the attack in a blog, but did not report it to authorities until the spring of this year, according to her suit. She says she told police and the director of the school's women's center, who reported it to the Office of Diversity and Equity.
"I didn't feel comfortable telling anyone or reporting because of the overwhelming privilege of athletes on this campus," she said during an October news conference announcing the civil rights complaint.
Richi said after she reported the rape, a UConn police detective told her he did not believe her story, and failed to interview key witnesses. His report included the wrong date of the assault and was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, she said.
She was eventually told by police there was insufficient evidence to pursue the case and it would be dropped, she said.
The athletic department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. But school spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said UConn stands by the statement it gave when Richi and the other women filed their civil rights complaint.
"We always must be mindful of the rights of the accused and the accuser while upholding our commitment to protecting the safety of our campus community," she said. "We are confident at this point that these cases were handled thoroughly, swiftly and appropriately."
Richi's attorney, Gloria Allred, disagrees. She said there was no hearing and the football player did not receive any punishment.
"UConn's response or lack of response under these circumstances raises the question of whether or not athletes receive special treatment," she said in an email. "It makes some victims wonder if athletes are afforded more rights than rape victims, because athletes may be considered to be of more value to a university than the female students that they victimize."
The Associated Press tried to ask interim football coach T.J. Weist about the program's policy for handling sexual misconduct allegations. But athletic department Mike Enright stepped in during Weist's Tuesday press briefing, and did not allow him to answer.
Linebacker Yawin Smallwood, a team captain, disputed any assertion that a culture exists that would allow an athlete to get away with rape.
"I definitely don't feel athletes believe they can get away with anything," Smallwood said. "Guys are respectful to everyone around campus. We take pride, and we know we're privileged to have everything we have here and we know it can be taken away from us."

When boys are abused, they often grow up to be abusers themselves. The pain and sadness they feel turn to bitterness, hardness of heart, etc. This is not an excuse for their negative behavior when they grow up but, rather, an explanation. They may not have the strength to learn from their experiences and not repeat them. For example; when a boy is verbally abused (for example, when he's told not to cry/show emotion), he often "shoves down" his emotions - detaching hi...

This is the first in a series of articles by Rob Farber on OpenACC directives, which enable existing C/C++ and Fortran code to run with high performance on massively parallel devices such as GPUs. The magic in OpenACC lies in how it extends the familiar face of OpenMP pragma programming to encompass coprocessors. As a result, OpenACC opens the door to scalable, massively parallel GPU accelerating millions of lines of legacy application code without requiring a new language such as CUDA or OpenCL, or fork application source tree to support multiple languages
OpenACC is a set of standardized, high-level pragmas that enables C/C++ and Fortran programmers to utilize massively parallel coprocessors with much of the convenience of OpenMP. A pragma is a form of code annotation that informs the compiler of something about the code. In this case, it identifies the succeeding block of code or structured loop as a good candidate for parallelization. OpenMP is a well-known and widely supported standard that defines pragmas programmers have used since 1997 to parallelize applications on shared memory multicore processors. The OpenACC standard has generated excitement because it preserves the familiarity of OpenMP code annotation while extending the execution model to encompass devices that reside in separate memory spaces. To support coprocessors, OpenACC pragmas annotate data placement and transfer as well as loop and block parallelism.
The success of GPU computing in recent years has motivated compiler vendors to extend the OpenMP shared memory pragma programming approach to coprocessors. Approved by the OpenACC standards committee in November 2011, the OpenACC version 1.0 standard creates a unified syntax and prevents a "tower of babel" proliferation of incompatible pragmas. Adoption has been rapid by companies such as NVIDIA, PGI (The Portland Group), CAPS Enterprise, and Cray.
Make Your Life Simple
Pragmas and high-level APIs are designed to provide software functionality. They hide many details of the underlying implementation to free a programmer's attention for other tasks.A colleague humorously refers to pragma-based programming as a negotiation that occurs between the developer and the compiler. Note that pragmas are informational statements provided by the programmer to the assist the compiler. This means that pragmas are not subject to the same level of syntax, type, and sanity checking as the rest of the source code. The compiler is free to ignore any pragma for any reason including: it does not support the pragma, syntax errors, code complexity, unresolved (or potentially unresolved) dependencies, edge cases where the compiler cannot guarantee that vectors or matrices do not overlap, use of pointers, and many others. Profiling tools and informational messages from the compiler about parallelization, or an inability to parallelize, are essential to a successful to achieving high performance.
An OpenACC pragma for C/C++ can be identified from the string
"#pragma acc" just like an OpenMP pragma can be identified from
"#pragma omp". Similarly, Fortran pragmas can be identified by
"! $acc". Always ensure that these strings begin all OpenACC (or OpenMP) pragmas. Moreover, it is legal to mix OpenMP, OpenACC, and other pragmas in a single source file.
OpenACC Syntax
OpenACC provides a fairly rich pragma language to annotate data location, data transfer, and loop or code block parallelism. The syntax of OpenACC pragmas (sometimes referred to as OpenACC directives) is:
"#pragma acc directive-name [clause [[,] clause]…] new-line"
- Fortran:
"!$acc directive-name [clause [[,] clause]…] new-line"
OpenACC pragmas in C/C++ are somewhat more concise than their Fortran counterparts as the compiler can determine a code block from the curly bracket "
{}" notation. The OpenACC specification also requires that the
_OPENACC preprocessor macro be defined when compiling OpenACC applications. This macro can be used for the conditional compilation of OpenACC code. The
_OPENACC macro name will have a value
yyyymm where
yyyy is the year and
mm is the month designation of the version of the OpenACC directives supported by the implementation.
Table 1 shows a list of OpenACC version 1.0 pragmas and clauses.
|!$acc kernels
|!$acc parallel
|!$acc data
|!$acc loop
|!$acc wait
|#pragma acc kernels
|#pragma acc parallel
|#pragma acc data
|#pragma acc loop
|#pragma acc wait
|within kernels region
|deviceptr() in .c
|deviceptr() in .f
Table 1. Currently supported OpenACC pragmas.
Two OpenACC environment variables,
ACC_DEVICE_TYPE and
ACC_DEVICE_NUM can be set by the user:
ACC_DEVICE_TYPE: Controls the default device type to use when executing accelerator parallel and kernels regions, when the program has been compiled to use more than one different type of device.
The allowed values of this environment variable are implementation-defined.
Examples include
ACC_DEVICE_NUM: Specifies the default device number to use when executing accelerator regions. The value of this environment variable must be a nonnegative integer between zero and the number of devices of the desired type attached to the host.
If the value is zero, the implementation-defined default is used.
If the value is greater than the number of devices attached, the behavior is implementation-defined.
On multi-GPU systems, this variable will avoid the TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) watchdog reset for long-running GPU applications by running on the GPU that is not used for the display. (Consult the vendor driver information to see how to modify the TDR time for your operation system.
In addition, OpenACC provides several runtime routines:
acc_set_device_type(), acc_get_device_type(), acc_set_device_num(), acc_get_device_num(), acc_async_test(), acc_async_test_all(), acc_async_wait(), acc_async_wait_all(), acc_init(), acc_shutdown(), acc_on_device(), acc_malloc(), acc_free().
Vendor specific information can be found on the Nvidia, PGI, CAPS, and Cray websites.
Building, Running and Profiling a First Program
This tutorial uses The Portland Group (PGI) Accelerator C and Fortran compilers release 12.5 with OpenACC support. PGI has been deeply involved in developing pragma-based programming for coprocessors since 2008, plus they are a founding member of the OpenACC standards body. The PGI OpenACC compilers currently target NVIDIA GPUs, but it is important to note that OpenACC can support other coprocessors (such as AMD GPUs and Intel MIC) as well. More information about the PGI compilers is available on the company's website.

Treatment for Alcoholics Set for Europe, But Not U.S.
Lundbeck A/S expects European marketing authorization for its alcohol dependence treatment Selincro within the year, but the Danish pharmaceutical group isn't aiming to get into the U.S. market any time soon.
The company this week released late-stage data from three studies that showed that patients with alcohol dependence who took Selincro were able to reduce their total alcohol consumption by 66% on average after six months.
"We filed in December for European approval and expect to get it within a year, but we are not pursuing approval in the U.S., as the protection of the underlying data of the drug is not as strong there as it is in Europe," said Anders Gersel Pedersen, who heads Lundbeck's research and development operations. "We are planning to file in other countries outside the U.S., such as Korea, China and Japan."
The Danish company has licensed the rights to Selincro, which reduces the urge to continue drinking when alcohol is consumed, from Finnish pharmaceuticals company Biotie Therapeutics Corp. The therapy's generic name is nalmefene.
"This medicine is very different from other products that try to address this problem, such as antabuse, which requires abstinence and makes you toxic if you take it and then drink alcohol."

Some seven years after its first ill-fated adaptation of "A Wrinkle in Time," the Mouse is giving it another go.
Disney's first attempt at bringing "Wrinkle" to life resulted in a 128-minute saga that inspired this exchange between Newsweek and the book's author, Madeleine L'Engle:
NEWSWEEK: So you've seen the movie?
Madeleine L'Engle: I've glimpsed it.
U.S. & World
And did it meet expectations?
Oh, yes. I expected it to be bad, and it is.
A glimpse at the trailer, preserved presumably as a cautionary tale at IMDB, is 60 seconds of squirm-inducing low-production quality tripe. Which is a shame, because the book is a ripping good yarn that deserves a much better fate.
L'Engle's original tale, which spawned four more chapters of the "Time" series, tells the story of Meg Murry, a young girl who must travel across the universe to find her father, a brilliant physicist who has apparently fallen through a wormhole, or "tesseract," into the fifth dimension.
Jeff Stockwell, who wrote "Bridge to Terabithia" and "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys," is working on the script.
