Emmys: Watch Billy Crystal's tribute to Robin Williams
If NBC's 66th telecast of the Primetime Emmys do in fact manage to have become a major ratings success, some if not most credit is due this tribute to Robin Williams, which millions were anticipating Monday night -- and which NBC even promoted in advance, with an on-screen bumper promising the "In Memoriam" within 16 minutes, than 10 minutes and so on.
Yes, very unusual. And Bill Crystal's tribute did not disappoint.
Moving, emotional and deeply personal, it turned a lighthearted broadcast into a somber tribute to a beloved actor who changed culture, and television.

"He made us laugh, every time you saw him on TV, movies, nightclubs, arenas, hospitals, homeless shelters," Crystal said of a friend he made nearly 40 years ago, working comedy clubs on both coasts.
He spoke of the "many happy hours" spent with Williams.
"He was the greatest friend you could ever imagine. Supportive, protective, loving. It's very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives, for almost 40 years the brightest star in the comedy galaxy."

Emmys ratings: The risky move to a Monday telecast draws solid 15.6 million
Well, it does appear as though we have a final national number for the 66th annual Primetime Emmys ... and it's not an ugly one at all: 15.6 million.
That's only about two points below last year's football-fed telecast on CBS, so NBC has to be thrilled with this. Fact is, the move to Monday was a risk: Viewers could have ignored the big show, but there was certainly a groundswell of interest in the Robin Williams tribute. (NBC even promoted Billy Crystal's tribute with in-program teases -- highly unusual, but a key indicator that millions were coming for that, and the network knew it). That alone may have made the difference.
On the negative side of the ledger, this is only about two million more viewers than the middling averages the Emmys had been posting in prior years, or before last year's CBS telecast. The hard fact remains: While many of us love the Emmys -- and I certainly count myself among the devotees -- the vast majority of us don't. They remain an awards show without the enormous appeal of the Grammys or the Oscars. And for an industry that is in the midst of a golden age, that is a strange paradox indeed.

But 15.6 million is nothing to sneeze at; how about a Monday in the dead of August next year, too?
Emmys: Why did 'True Detective,' Matthew McConaughey get shut out?
What the heck happened to "True Detective" and Matthew McConaughey last night?
Five Emmys for the show -- but not one of the huge ones. Matthew McConaughey, the surest bet for anything last night -- outstanding actor/drama would have done, nicely, I'm sure he and HBO think -- was just another beautiful face in the crowd, as it turns out.
Unfair, maybe, but Bryan Cranston did win, and there's certainly nothing unfair about that.
PHOTOS: The winners | Red carpet, ceremony highlights | Verne Gay's Ultimate Emmys
MORE: Emmys fashion overview | Fall TV preview
Nevertheless, this is a puzzle and puzzles demand solutions, particularly as HBO put its vast marketing muscle behind "Detective" and its worthy leads. Naturally, I have theories as opposed to solutions. Maybe one of them is even the right one:
Each of these applies mostly to the show, which wasn't considered a lock for best drama, and to McConaughey as well.
1.) HBO overreached. "Detective" stood a better chance in the miniseries category as opposed to the insanely competitive best drama one, where each nominee had entrenched interests among Emmy voters -- interests not about to be shaken by this arriviste. Mc, likewise, would have been a cinch for the mini/movie award.
2.) Voters just weren't sure -- and when in doubt, vote for the incumbent.
3.) "Bad" deserved this win and so did Cranston. Hey, that's novel! No it's not. The Emmys do get this right now and then.
4.) The so-called plagiarism charges stuck. Arriving in the middle of the voting process, as they did, some voters were doubtful. "Why vote for a plagiarist?!" some may have thought, thoughtlessly. In fact, the charges were unfair, and "Detective" writer Nic Pizzolatto had said that he had been inspired by Thomas Ligotti for the Rust Cohle character. Nothing wrong with that. But doubt -- even when it's grossly unfair -- has a way of seeding.
5.) The poorly-drawn-female characters charge stuck. This was first raised, I believe, in the pages of the New Yorker, and is cited whenever or wherever the merits of "Detective" are raised. PIzzolatto was angered by them -- but all the anger in the world can't dissipate an argument, and in fact often has the opposite effect.
6.) Emmys hate buzz. Remember how Lou Grant "hates spunk?" Emmys hate buzz. They hate it with all of their fiber -- for Emmy voters are traditionalists to the core, who eschew the vagaries of popular taste, as it ebbs and flows according to the dictates of a hundred million fandudes, with their Twitter accounts, blogs, Facebook pages, Instagrams and other assorted means to express their passion. Or at least voters like to think that -- that their role is to separate the chaff from the proverbial wheat stalk, and to bestow the One True Award on the One True Show.
Mostly, they like to think this isn't the People's Choice Awards. THEY are the pros. What does the riff raff know? Buzz shows that go into the Emmys with a head of steam -- often a projection of TV writers, who are fans themselves -- can oftentimes find themselves beheaded by the end of the night.
7.) "Detective" and McConaughey were too much of a sure bet. This is a subset of 6.) with some variations. Sure Bets very often are Sure Bets with the Emmys -- but brand-new buzz-worthy shows that are deemed Sure Bets usually aren't.
8.) Emmy voters were simply too familiar with "True Detective" and Rust Cohle. I leave this theory to last because I think there's some counterintuitive logic to it.
Consider: Everyone in this industry watched "Detective" because they pretty much felt they had to, if only not to sound like a blithering idiot at their local watering hole or some cocktail party, where someone -- maybe their next employer -- was bound to ask them, "well, what did you think ...?" They didn't need the requisite single episode to make a judgment about "Detective" -- many were already intimately familiar with it.
But such familiarity doesn't always work to a nominee's favor, because voters are then as familiar with its faults as its virtues. An obvious example here -- the finale, which some viewers loved, others hated. (I was disappointed. Not this kind of ending ... again.) Or maybe some voters didn't like Rust's gaseous ruminations on the Meaning of Life in the 17-years-fast-forward scenes.
Who knows! Or perhaps HBO,"Detective" and McConaughey should turn to Ligotti for solace and guidance on this Emmy matter. Quoth he:
"It has always seemed to me that my existence consisted purely and exclusively of nothing but the most outrageous nonsense."
'True Blood' series finale: A muted farewell
Obviously there was a time when "True Blood" was HBO's most important series - a genre-busting exploration of vampires, racism, sex, sin, social taboos and a handful of other topics that weren't specifically vampirical in nature but in some not hard-to-define way, human. Obviously, "True Blood" -- which ended Sunday night -- has not approached any where near that stature in recent seasons.

LIer Jesse Kinch wins ABC's 'Rising Star'
Jesse Kinch, a Seaford-based rocker who from the beginning of this ABC experiment called "Rising Star" appeared to be the chosen one, affirmed all assumptions on Sunday night's finale: He was chosen.
Above, his clinching "Love Reign O'er Me," which scored 76 percent of the audience vote, compared to runner-up Austin French's 61 percent. (No, this was not close.)
Congrats to the talented Kinch. (The future for "Star" is unclear, which is another way of saying this was probably the last season -- the numbers never materialized, or a little more than three million viewers over each edition of the past few weeks.)

Billy Crystal to present Robin Williams tribute at Emmys
Billy Crystal, who had (at least) a 30-year association with Robin Williams, will present his tribute on Monday's telecast of the 66th Primetime Emmys.
The program's executive producer, Don Mischer, made the announcement Wednesday. Mischer said last week that the Academy was planning to mount "a proper and meaningful tribute," which will now fall to Crystal, who has long hosted Comic Relief USA with Williams and Whoopi Goldberg. (Crystal and Williams also co-starred in "Father's Day").
Williams presented the tribute to his personal comic icon, Jonathan Winters, at last year's show.

MORE: Celebrities react | Williams in rehab
Indeed, Williams' and Crystal's close ties long predate Comic Relief, which they had co-hosted with Goldberg since 1986. Like so many A-list comics, they came up through the east coast/west coast comedy club circuit in the '70s, shared prominent managers (Jack Rollins and Charles Joffe) and at times even seemed to be one another's most visible cheerleader.
After Williams' 2009 heart surgery, for example, Crystal explained to The New York Times how that might impact his comedy going forward. "I think he needs the stand-up in a different way than he did before. It's still a safe place for him to be, but he can talk about things and make himself feel better, not just everybody else."
After Williams' death was reported last week, Crystal could muster only this, in a Tweet: "No words."
Musical accompaniment for the "In Memoriam" tribute will be performed by Sara Bareilles. She had dedicated her song, "Hercules," to Williams during a recent concert, but Mischer did not say what the music choices will be.

Manna – Psilocybin Mushroom Inspired Documentary by Simon G. Powell
October 18th, 2014 / No Comments » / by CuriousBrain
"A beautiful, profound, and passionate documentary by Simon G. Powell; author of Darwin's Unfinished Business, and The Psilocybin Solution. This documentary will be a joy to watch for psilocybin lovers and informative for those who have still not been introduced to this mystical fungus.
After graduating from UCL in 1992, Simon G. Powell suffered an extended bout of 'mushroom fever' brought on by excessive psilocybin use. After this 'mushroom fever' subsided, he was left with a curious case of chronic biophilia. This soon developed into chronic gaiaphilia. This condition, which turned out to be permanent and quite stimulating, left him to write a number of unorthodox books – including The Psilocybin Solution and Darwin's Unfinished Business. He also felt compelled to write and direct two radical film documentaries: Manna and Metanoia." ~ http://documentaryheaven.com/manna-psilocybin-mushroom/

Peppermint Pigs
They come and go uncalled and bold
beseech in souls folklore redemption
demand and hide in pig deception,
conglomerate a sinful mold.
Like flying pigs odd worlds in clouds,
deceived dream songs called for and posed,
called for and posed in heavens closed,
with other lives assessed in shrouds.
Abstemious were our lives in caves,
stars' overreach, offered pigs' lifts,
peppermint's scent in festal drinks,
with purgatory beat death's raves.
Verse cadence words will fit to share,
will fit to share the pulse we send,
our heart beats abstractly defend,
peppermint pigs that were ensnared.

Introduction / History
The Ingush are a Muslim people who live primarily in the Chechen Republic of the former Soviet Union. Although closely related to the Chechen in history and culture, they are separate in their language and family descent.
Life for the Ingush has changed dramatically in the past sixty years. After World War II, Joseph Stalin deported all of the Ingush from their homeland to Kazakstan and Siberia as a punishment for their support of the Germans. Nearly half of their population (about 200,000) died in transit. In 1958, they were allowed to return, but found their land had been taken.
The Ingush originally settled among the plains and mountains. Today, they usually live in scattered villages or towns. Discrimination from those who are now living in their homeland has made life difficult. As a result, many have moved into the city of Grozny, which has been ravaged by the recent war with Russia.
What are Their Lives Like?
The Ingush are farmers and keepers of livestock, especially sheep. Plains dwellers can produce an abundance of food because of the long growing season. Those living in the mountains trade eggs and dairy products for the grains produced by the people dwelling in the plains. The climate provides ample rain for the crops. Grains and diary products are their primary sources of food. The men defend the people, keep the livestock, and do construction work. Women do the gardening, cook, and care for the children.
The Ingush are a very formal group of people who are also known for their refinement, courage, and hospitality. Having converted to Islam in the early nineteenth century, they are traditionally known not to attack unless provoked. However, should there be a grievous offense between clans (whose membership is based on family ties), they are known to carry on blood feuds.
Households (mostly nuclear families), are run by the husband. He owns everything under his roof-including the women. Marriages are usually arranged by the parents. Occasionally, a mother arranges for her daughter to elope. This is very risky for the bride, because if the "groom" changes his mind, the girl may never have another chance to marry.
Membership in a family is traced through the father. In turn, the family has membership in a clan. These clans are then grouped by language distinctions into tribes. Individuals have responsibilities to each level of kinship. Although marriages are not permitted between members of the same clan, partners must be of the same tribe. A wife becomes part of her husband's clan upon marriage and, from that time on, as a rule, never mentions her parents' names again.
The Ingush are a relatively tall Caucasian people who usually wear Western-style clothing. They enjoy music, dancing, wood carving, weaving, and felt-making.
The Ingush have maintained their cultural identity through their families and religion. The former lost much of its importance because of intermarriage with non-Ingush, while the latter became stronger through the persecutions of the communists.
What are Their Beliefs?
Like the Chechen, the Ingush are committed to the beliefs of Islam. While some say their conversion was a political move to counter Russian influence, it is, without a doubt, their religion today. Before converting, they were known to be animists. They looked to one spirit who served as the head over various other gods in nature.
What are Their Needs?
The recent war in Chechenya has greatly affected the Ingush, and the struggle for independence from Russia continues. With only a few known Ingush believers, much prayer is required to see the Gospel effectively reach these precious people.
Prayer Points
* Ask the Holy Spirit to grant wisdom and favor to missions agencies which focus on the Ingush.
* Pray that God will prepare the hearts of the Ingush to receive the Gospel message.
* Pray for the effective use of the Jesus film and other evangelistic tools in the Ingush language.
* Pray that God will give the Ingush believers boldness to share Christ with their own people.
* Ask God to raise up prayer teams who will begin breaking up the soil through worship and intercession.
* Ask the Lord to bring forth a triumphant Ingush church for the glory of His name!

Surgery for External Auditory Canal Exostoses: A Report of 182 OperationsVasama J.-P.
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland
The pre-operative findings and operative outcome were evaluated from patient records in 136 patients (182 ears) who had surgery for external auditory canal (EAC) exostoses. Furthermore, 114 patients (84%) replied to a questionnaire inquiring about the symptoms and the operation's impact on their quality of life. The main symptoms prior to the surgery were recurrent external otitis, hearing loss and wax retention. Interestingly, 23 patients (21%) were operated without any symptoms. After the operation, 75 patients (66%) had relief of their symptoms. In 33 patients (29%) the symptoms remained the same, and in 5 patients (4%) they became worse. The quality of life improved in 77 patients (68%); 19 patients (14%) had a complication due to the surgery, and 8 patients (6%) needed a re-operation. The surgery for EAC exostoses should be reserved only for symptomatic cases and only for experienced specialists in order to minimize complications and unnecessary operations.

MOST Golden State Warriors fans are outraged because Joe Lacob fired Mark Jackson on Tuesday. Contrary to a Warrior fan's belief, however, this may actually be a good thing. Jackson was a great coach, and he pulled this franchise from underneath the slumps, but there were a few home games the Warriors could have won which would have secured them home court advantage.
As a Warrior fan, home court advantage should be music to your ears. Unfortunately for the Warriors, losses to the Charlotte Bobcats, Orlando Magic, and Minnesota Timberwolves can not be forgotten, and I think this is what Lacob's primary concern about the franchise was.
But some things are a little disturbing — the lack of being up for some of these games at home, that's a concern to me
– Joe Lacob in interview with Mercury News
That interview was conducted a few days ago, which means that he did indeed intend to fire Jackson. If not for some of those dreadful home losses, the Warriors may still be in the playoffs, and perhaps facing off with the San Antonio Spurs, and making a better go at it than last year. Those home losses could have cost the Warriors a championship, if we're going to extreme measure here.
According to Mark Jackson's twitter, it doesn't seem like he's surprised at all. His mentality is good, and his coaching style is good for this young and high-powered team. But what Lacob is concerned with is the inability to win winnable games. Now that Jackson is gone, he's going to look for someone who has a better strategy for dealing with the peskier teams.
There are a couple names floating around already. For example, one of the greatest shooters of all time, Steve Kerr, has expressed interest in becoming a head coach, and now the Warriors have the possibility to pursue him. He has vast knowledge about basketball, and Stephen Curry, as a fellow great shooter, may be able to pick up a few pointers from him and grow his game even more.
Stan Van Gundy, former Orlando Magic head coach also comes to mind. Curry would also thrive under his offensively-minded system. Mike D'Antoni is also another viable option. Although these two are offensively minded, it's not going to be detrimental to the Warriors' defensive game. Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, and Andrew Bogut aren't going to stop playing defense.
An offensive coach could revolutionize the team that has so many offensive weapons.

The Top 10 Cross-Dressing Movies
If there's one thing we've learned from England, it's that there's nothing more lovable than men in drag. With that in mind, we thought it might be time to salute our brothers in bras by counting down our favorite cross-dressing movies. And we don't want to seem discriminatory, so we decided to throw in a few lovely ladies that know who wears the pants when it's all said in done. After all, we've got some love for the folks that say, "to hell to gender roles." (We're forward-thinking and junk.)
As usual, we had to lay a ground rule or two for this list to make sense. First of all, the cross-dressing has to be a major part of the plot (sorry, Boondock Saints). Second, we only included films in which the character actually had to dress in drag (sorry Norbit and all the Tyler Perry movies). That being said, I like to think we've come up with a fairly comprehensive list. So sit back and roll up your favorite panty hose, because these are our top 10 cross-dressing movies.
10. Ed Wood- It was either this or Glenn or Glenda for our No. 10 slot, and there is no reason to put the latter on a top 10 list… Ever. Instead, we're going to focus on the comforting thought of Johnny Depp in fuzzy sweater. It might not be an essential part of the plot, but the fact that Ed Wood wore women's clothing is an essential part of the character, and since this is a biopic… Well, you get the idea. It might not be Tim Burton's best films (heck, you wouldn't even know he was involved, except for Depp), but it holds a special place in the hearts of film geeks all over the world. I'm just not completely sure why…
9. The Rocky Horror Picture Show- Look, I'm going to lay my cards on the table and say something that will probably lead to a flame war. We'll save you the trouble: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a terrible movie and I've never enjoyed watching it." Still, get the right people together and it's an amazing group activity. The Show is a cultural icon and a cult film (though it's become so mainstream can we really call it that anymore?). It's the longest-running film still in theatrical release, and who doesn't like letting their freak flag wave at a showing every once in a while? With Tim Curry's famous (infamous?) portrayal of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, it would have been a crime not to have included it on this list. However, I couldn't ignore how God-awful the film is on its own, which is why it rests generously at the No. 9 spot.
One Response to The Top 10 Cross-Dressing Movies
Susan Linn says:
Great list, although I might argue some of the placements. I would put Priscilla over The Cage anyday of the week( although I would definitely recommend the French version. Never forget, "The higher the hair, the closer to God" when dealing with drag. Very enjoyable article.

Sleep Disorders in Children
Bed wetting, night terrors and sleep walking are some of the sleep disorders that children experience. In India, sleep disorders in children are considered the child's fault or his/her attention-seeking mischief. But the problem is deep rooted, and may be the cause of a hostile or unhealthy environment that surrounds the child. Hence, we gathered information that will help parents understand the real cause of their child's nocturnal behaviour. Here are the main sleep disorders in children. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images

Teen Guys and Questions About Erections
If you're a teen guy, chances are you have questions about erections that you are afraid to ask your parents or even your doctor. Sometimes erections occur at the wrong place at the wrong time, and you have no idea what's going on. Most guys have experienced that awkward moment.
The following Q&As can help you gain a better understanding of erections and why they're one of the changes we experience at puberty.

The Guy's Guide to Dealing With Late Puberty
It can be tough to start puberty way after other guys you know. They're already growing, their voices are changing. And you might be stuck with this: Teased at school for being short People think you're younger than you are Have trouble keeping up with bigger, stronger guys in PE or sports Feel left behind or embarrassed by being a "late bloomer" Here's the good news: Your body will catch up. And there's a lot you can do to stay happy, fit, and interesting until your body starts...
Read the The Guy's Guide to Dealing With Late Puberty article > >
Q. Yesterday, when I was riding home on the bus, I could feel my penis getting stiffer and there was nothing I could do about it. When we got to my stop, I got off the bus and had an erection. Other guys were laughing at me and I was embarrassed. It made me feel uncomfortable.
A. First of all, don't feel uncomfortable. You are not alone: Erections are a normal part of growing up. When guys go through puberty, their bodies go through many changes. Their voices begin to change, and facial hair, underarm hair, and pubic hair starts to grow. This is all normal! Also, their penis, testes, and scrotal sacs will increase in size. Talk about an awkward time for guys -- as if trying not to have an erection in public wasn't enough to deal with!
These physical changes are coupled with other changes. During puberty, many guys begin to experience frequent sexual desire. This could lead to a difficult time in the controlling erections department. Often, the erection happens at inappropriate times -- on the way home from school, or at the swimming pool, or at the breakfast table. Just remember, the same guys who were laughing at you at the bus stop are also going through puberty, and this can easily happen to them. We'll give some tips on controlling erections at the end of this article.
Q. How does an erection occur?
A. Erections occur when the "erection chambers" in the penis, called the corpora cavernosa, fill with blood. And how does this happen? Your brain sends signals to nerves in the penis via the nervous system. The signals trigger an increase in blood flow through the arteries in the pelvis. As blood is pumped into these sponge-like erection chambers, it causes valves to open and fill with blood. As the erection chambers fill with more and more blood, less blood is carried away through the veins, so more blood is left in the area to maintain an erection. The nerves in the penis then produce nitric oxide, which acts as a chemical "messenger" that maintains erections. The nitric oxide relaxes the blood vessels, filling the spaces with blood, and the erection occurs.
Q. When I wake up in the morning, my penis is hard. What can I do? I don't want to eat breakfast with my family with an erection!

UPDATED: Sunday, January 19, 2014 --- 4:14 a.m.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Packers fans might notice the statues of Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi are gone from their regular spots at Lambeau Field.
It's only temporary.
Press-Gazette Media reports they have been moved to a temporary holding area slightly to the west in the parking lot along Lombardi Avenue. It's because of the work that is continuing on the Lambeau Field renovation.
The statues will be moved back to a new Harlan Plaza in July.
The Packers Pro Shop, Curly's Pub and stadium tours remain open during construction.
Copyright 2014: Associated Press
Posted Thursday, June 27, 2013 --- 11:53 a.m.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- A $146 million renovation project at Lambeau Field is nearly complete.
There are new video boards, sound system, suites, viewing platforms as well as 7,000 new seats and 30 new concession stands.
About 105,000 people were waiting for season tickets before the Packers started selling the new seats.
Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey says of the more than 5,000 people offered tickets, about 3,800 accepted them. He says 1,500 existing ticket holders chose to move to the new south end zone, which is general seating.
Stu Zadra of contractor Hammes Co. says the new seats will be ready for a July 18 open house.
The renovations started in 2011. In March, workers also started nearly $141 million in upgrades to the atrium, expected to be done in 2015.

What I love about ME:
"I love that I don't take things too seriously. I love my hair. Part of it is branding because I'm a multi-media artist and filmmaker. I run events and produce things so what I love is that people always recognize me because of my hair. I'll be at certain events and people will say "oh you're the girl with the white mohawk, I saw you at another place". My hair used to be very long, almost down to my butt. I just love short hair and I wanted dye it so one night I got the clippers out and did it in my bathroom. People stop me and ask "who's your stylist and I'm like I am!"
What I love about NYC:
"I love that it's a whole bunch of misfits who live here. It's as though every reject from high school was like I'm going to move to NYC and then become friends with everybody." It's a melting pot of people and it really is the cross roads of the world. I'm from Australia myself. I've been here 8 years. It's a beautiful city, the energy is great, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Thanks Jaclyn. You are fabulous.
Jaclyn teaches a cool workout class called The Sweat Club. It's a full body fitness class, getting you moving to live DJ's playing the hottest tracks and your favorite throwbacks while keeping your heart in sync with the B.P.M.
How cool is that? And very NYC :)

Masahiko Nakajima, General Manager Motorsport Development Division, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd and Lin Jarvis, Managing Director, Yamaha Motor Racing have reacted to Jorge Lorenzo second crown wrapped up on Sunday in Australia.
"I am very happy to be able to congratulate Jorge Lorenzo for taking his second premier class MotoGP World Championship title with Yamaha whilst still in Phillip Island and with one round remaining", Nakajima said.
"This would not have been possible without the hard work of the Team, YMC MotoGP Group and all Yamaha Motor Racing staff so I have to thank them all for their efforts.
All of us at Yamaha are proud to have witnessed his performance from the beginning of the season to now, always pushing at the front and fighting to this point to become 2012 World Champion.
This season's results add to his already successful career with Yamaha, I believe we can look forward to more success in Valencia in two weeks time."
Lin Jarvis said: "I congratulate Jorge on his second MotoGP World Championship title with Yamaha. He has been faultless all season. To be able to achieve 1st or 2nd in every race he finished is an extraordinary performance of a dedicated perfectionist and a true champion.
To be able to produce these performances Jorge relies upon the support of a huge network of people. I would like to give my thanks and congratulations to the Yamaha Motor group, all Yamaha Factory Racing Team staff, our technical partners & suppliers, our sponsors, and also to Jorge's personal staff. Without the efforts of all of these people this fantastic result would not have been possible.
Having won the championship with one race to spare we go to Valencia to try to crown this already excellent season with a race victory in front of his home fans and to enjoy a much deserved celebration all together."

According to reports, the Sacramento Kings have signed DeQuan Jones to a training camp contract, per Mark Deeks of ShamSports.com.
There are 14 roster spots that are currently under guaranteed contract, and a 15th spot would most likely be kept open for flexibility, per Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee.
Jones is a 6'8″ forward, 23 years old and went undrafted from the University of Miami, and was an invitee to the Orlando Magic's training camp in 2012. He was called up to the main roster and appeared in 63 games for them, averaging an unimpressive 3.7 PPG in an average of 12.7 minutes per game.
It's likely the Kings will assign him to the D-League for the Reno Bighorns roster, where he can compete for the 15th roster spot, which will be open over the course of the season if a position is needed for head Sacramento coach Michael Malone's bench.

Kim Kardashian went to the doctor yesterday because she was having pains in her stomach, and the doc warned she needed to slow down.
We're told Kim was flying home from Paris when she started feeling "severe stomach pains" on the plane. It freaked her out and she started bawling in front of other passengers.
Sources say Kim is "stressed out" ... we're told because she's prepping for her deposition in her divorce case with Kris Humphries and she's moving to a new house.
When Kim landed she went to her doctor, who told her she had flu-like symptoms and it was not a miscarriage warning.
We're told the baby's fine. In related news, we're told Kris Kardashian has already signed her.
Hope she feels better
I'm honestly hate to see any pregnant woman feel bad and the idea of losing a baby is horrible, so I hope she's oka. BUT .... if she's so stressed out and really worried with her pregnancy, what is she doing travelling the world, going to concerts, eating out, doing public appearances? Quite honestly, the divorce seems like it's only one among many many many stressors in her life. I just wish the media (and her mother) would stop claiming external stresses were perhaps leading to baby endangement when she is under-the-weather AND when she can control a lot of those stresses on her own! 99% of women in the world have far less and much greater stresses than she does. I hope she can learn to deal with them so that her children will be better adjusted and healthier than her!
Doc determined pains were caused be too much niqqer *** inside her.
Her travels have nothing to do with her upcoming divorce trial. She's probably feeling the pain from her skin expanding, caused by the fact that she's becoming obese.
Every little thing it's going to be Kris Humphries fault. Hell she's already started that crap.
I still like Humphries. He's in no rush. He just wanted an annulment and his ring back. Kardashian won't do it.
Humphires has a great family good friends and a solid career. All Kardashinan has is making money that's all she cares about. This kid is nothing more than another Kardashian grifter in the making. She's already making money from the baby.
2 much corn bread
She can run all over the place and be fine. But let it be time to deal with prepping for her deposition in her divorce case with Kris Humphries she gets pains yeah okCan we say KARMA catching up with this piece of trash.
That little half breed wants out!!!
Who the hell is Kris Kardashian? I thought it was Kris Jenner?
This is nothing more than a poor little kimmy ploy con. Big bad Kris Humphries. That meeny.
I hope it's the alien from Spaceballs
I am now 100% convinced you goons are getting paid off by the Kardashians. Her going to the hospital had nothing to do with the stress of her divorce. I has to do with her stressing her body out by flying all over the world every other week and exercising 7 days a week to try and keep her arse from expanding. Its inevitable an she is too vain to have a natural pregnancy and wants to try and stay the same size throughout the whole thing. She also needs to give the heels up.
This bitch doesn't care about her baby. She just wants more and more money for feed her monster hairy ass and her overwhelming Armenian Greed. Hey Kim -- America is sick of you and your family. Tell that to that sissy Seacrest.
Your a old ass HAG....I see Kanye has been working those nasty lips pretty good. If you know what I mean. or is it Ray J. Hahahahahahah
Publicity stunt - wonder if she's really pregnant because one day a bump; none the next. All planned by pimpmama to keep the FREE PUBLICITY going. What a disgusting family.

On June 11, 2013, five major library associations—ARL, American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), American Library Association (ALA), Medical Library Association (MLA), Special Libraries Association (SLA)—sent this letter to the US Senate Committee on Rules & Administration, supporting President Obama's nomination of Davita Vance-Cooks for Public Printer of the United States. The Public Printer oversees the US Government Printing Office (GPO).
The Association of American Universities (AAU), the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), and ARL have drafted a proposal in response to the OSTP memo: The SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE).
The proposal begins:
Research universities are long-lived and are mission-driven to generate, make accessible, and preserve over time new knowledge and understanding. Research universities collectively have the assets needed for a national solution for enhanced public access to federally funded research output. As the principal producers of the resources that are to be made publicly available under the new White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)[1] memorandum, and that are critical to the continuing success of higher education in the United States, universities have invested in the infrastructure, tools, and services necessary to provide effective and efficient access to their research and scholarship. The new White House directive provides a compelling reason to integrate higher education's investments to date into a system of cross-institutional digital repositories that will be known as SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE)...

The Association of American Universities, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, and the Association of Research Libraries presented a joint statement on expanded public access to publications to the National Research Council at the National Academy of Science Forum on May 14, 2013.
On April 17, 2013, the Association of American Universities (AAU), Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), and Association of Research Libraries (ARL) released this two-page statement by David E. Shulenburger calling on the research university community to provide input to the US Government for increasing access to the results of federally funded research.
Research libraries have a responsibility to make library collections and services universally accessible to their patrons. And as research libraries provide more content electronically to students, faculty members, researchers, and others, the role of libraries and other partners in their institutions and beyond is changing in the provision of information resources and services to patrons with disabilities.

I think I'm alright. *still trying to catch her breath - she feels a little lightheaded, but decides that it was just from the running* I think she nicked me a bit on the back, but I'm sure I'm fine. I just need to…I just need to lie down for a bit…
*collapses onto the floor unconscious, exposing the gash she had gotten from the blade, her jacket beginning to soak with blood*
*Darcy doesn't bother wasting time to turn around, but continues to run toward the cafe, pulling the stranger along with her to try to get them to safety* Gah! *she exclaims, as she feels a cold blade slash against her back* *She continues to run until they get into the cafe, pulling her companion with her to hide behind the counter - some customers stare at them, startled*
Are you alright? *she asks the stranger, while attempting to catch her breath*
*Continues to look around for the woman* What…? Where is she? *begins to back away, her eyes trailing back to the entrance of the park* *lets out a shaky breath before yanking her companion towards the direction of the cafe*
*She stops again and stares at the pavement* But that might be my boyfriend out there…*her voice cracks* I can't leave him alone…even if…*inhales a sharp breath* Even if he might be…dead. *She hears rustling nearby and looks around, alert*
*Darcy goes over to the stranger and takes their hand* It'll…it'll be alright. *she lies to reassure the stranger, and to reassure herself*
*turns around, her face solemn* The police are on their way. I - I can't leave him out there alone…*her voice shakes, she is on the brink of tears* Go inside the cafe up the block - I work there. Ask for the manager, he's a nice bloke…*she gives the stranger a small reassuring smile, but her eyes are filled with terror*
*turns back around to run into the park*
…What. *she froze, still holding the phone to her ear* That sounds like it's…*shakes her head, in disbelief* No, it can't be him…*looks at the stranger again, before looking over at the bushes and into the park* *she drops her phone and starts running into the park in search for the body*
*furrows her brow wearily* Why do you want to take Sebastian's life? What has he done to you?
I don't blame you…*is a bit scared herself* They're taking a while to…Oh! Hello? Yes, hi. Yes, this is urgent…I'm calling to report…*hesitates* I'm calling to report a murder in Lunar Park.
Description? Uhm…male, in his twenties…hair color? *her eyes quickly dart over to the stranger, apologetically* Did you see how he looked like?
*Looks at the stranger, startled*
Of course! *her eyes dart around, panicked and without a clue what to do* Let me try the police…*quickly dials 911, anxiously biting her lip* How are you - are you alright?

Anyone know if it comes with empty caddies for the drives? I know it ships with one drive, but it's not totally clear if there are empty caddies in the other slots or if they are just, well, empty...
Does it need caddys though? If its like the previous 115 it won't be a caddy based product it will just be a screw it in job like a normal Desktop PC (and they will have included all the screws built into the chassis under the hood)
HP ProLiant MicroServer series - Q&A
Just to clarify, the HP MicroServer does come with the caddy's (basically trays like you'd find in a NAS box) - As seen in the datasheet - http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/q...13716_div.HTML - The official HP drives for these are the non-hotplug internal SATAs that also fit in the ML110/ML115.
This means you can use pretty much any 3rd party HDDs in there.
Chillibear (20th September 2010), dhicks (30th September 2010), john (20th September 2010)
Edit: Sorry, forgot - would it also take a Firewire input card in that 1x PCI Express slot? Is there any way to get a Firewire input on to the front panle too?

I am undecided with which route to go with UAG, I am buying a T710 anyway but may scrimp on the spec more and get one of these.. .decisions... decisions...
PS. Love the review on the site.. I don't own one, have ever seen one in the flesh but its a 5 star product.
Click here to see another video which compares the size of the MicroServer with a Proliant ML115 and Shuttle PC.
this drive-bay adapter. It's probably easier and cheaper to use a separate optical drive and memory card reader though.
specs page on the HP website, so unless you can find a very short single-slot graphics card which uses less than 25 watts you're out of luck. Another thing I noticed in the Maintenance and Service Guide (page 56) is that the PSU doesn't have any additional power connectors - there are only five Molex LP4 connectors (four for the HDDs and one for the SATA optical drive) and a single 24-pin ATX power cable to connect to the motherboard. There is an internal USB port, but this would only be suitable for a memory card reader or a USB flash drive for running ESXi from.
RS785E/SB820M chipset. The are no Linux drivers for it on either the HP or AMD websites (only graphics & NIC drivers) so I am not sure.
PEX1394B3LP because it doesn't use a bridge chip (i.e. native PCIe) and works perfectly with Unibrain's ubCore drivers. I have one of these in my home computer.
dhicks (2nd October 2010)
hmm, anyone seen power draw figures when loaded with drives?
3.5" adapter). Not bad at all.
The HP MicroServer is powered by a single 200 Watt non-hot pluggable power supply. As would be expected in an entry level server there is no option to add a redundant power supply. The low power (15W) CPU definitely contributes to keeping the running cost of the MicroServer to a minimum, with HP quoting that a fully loaded configuration only consuming an impresssive 70W of power. (Source)
Thanks. I'm trying to get an all-in-one case - an external card reader wouldn't really be suitible.You could if you modify this drive-bay adapter. It's probably easier and cheaper to use a separate optical drive and memory card reader though.
I'll have to investigate this a bit more - I'm trying to find a server sutible to do hardware-accelerated video file conversion, I might need something a bit larger to accomodate the kind of components needed.The maximum power draw for the PCIe x16 slot is 25w according to the specs page on the HP website, so unless you can find a very short single-slot graphics card which uses less than 25 watts you're out of luck.
Hmm - I wonder what the performance of Linux software RAID would be like on this machine?The onboard RAID uses the RAID feature of the AMD RS785E/SB820M chipset. The are no Linux drivers for it on either the HP or AMD websites (only graphics & NIC drivers) so I am not sure.
David Hicks
Samsung SE-S084C/TSBS. You could Velcro it to the top of the case so it doesn't move.
Silverstone SG01-F would be a good choice since it has 2 x 5.25" drive bays and can take full-height double-slot graphics cards up to 12 inches long.
Which application will you be using to do the GPU video conversion? Elemental's Badaboom isn't very good quality-wise (compared to x246) and it still needs a fast CPU (ideally a quad core) which would mean the CPU in the MicroServer would be too slow. The same applies to AMDs AVIVO encoder. Perhaps it might be worth waiting for Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors? These are supposed to encode video super fast.
The video encode engine is a brand new addition to Sandy Bridge. Intel is being light on the details of the encoder but we saw a demo where Intel took a ~3 minute 1080p 30Mbps source video and transcoded it to a 640x360 iPhone video format. The total process took 14 seconds and completed at a rate of roughly 400 frames per second. (Source)

Two of the Valley's top football programs will be holding youth football camps in the coming weeks. Veterans Memorial, 32-4A's co-champion in 2011, starts its four-day camp on Monday. Sharyland, the two time defending champion in 30-5A, will hold its camp the first week of August.
The Patriots' camp will be under the supervision of Head Coach David Gilpin. The location will be on the practice field at VMHS. Fees for registration are $30 per camper. However, for multiple participants from the same family, $20 will be the price for a second participant and $10 for a third. The camp is geared for incoming third graders all the way to incoming high school freshman and offers instruction for all offensive and defensive positions. The camp will consist of daily competitions and prizes. All participants will receive a Patriot Football camp t-shirt.
Sharyland, on the other hand, is sponsoring a camp called the Summer Football Mini Camp. The four-day event is for kids ages 8-12 and all 7th, 8th and 9th graders that will be attending schools in Sharyland I.S.D. The camp will run Aug. 1-4 and place an emphasis on the fundamental and basic skills of football for each age group. For participants aged 8-12, the camp will be held in the morning from 9-11 a.m. For the 7th-9th graders, the camp will be held in the evening, from 5-7 p.m. The cost of the camp is $35 for each camper and can be paid at the Sharyland High School athletics office.blog comments powered by Disqus

I tried this on a couple of my Mandrake 6.1 machines and it did
work. Tried it on a Mandrake 7.0 box and it didn't work. I went to
the Mandrake FTP site and downloaded a RPM of 7.0's PAM,
installed it, and everything seems happy now.
* Mandrake Linux 6.1 has the same problem as Red Hat Linux 6.x but its
* exploit (pamslam.sh) doesn't work on it (at least on my machine). So,
* I created this C program based on it which exploits PAM/userhelper
* and gives you UID 0.
* Red Hat Linux 6.0, Red Hat Linux 6.1, Mandrake Linux 6.1.

Fondation EDF
The museum's lighting was created by the artist and lighting visual artist, Yann Kersalé
The following areas incorporate lighting:
- glass boarding
- central building
- pools in rue de l'Université
- pools on the museum terrace
- the vertical garden
- the theatre of greenery
- all of the garden paths leading to the museum
- the fire escape and access to the museum restaurant
The lighting equipment has been integrated into the architecture in most of these areas.
Through its Fondation created in 1987, EDF acts to develop patronage initiatives in the world of culture, involving particularly the enhancement of heritage.
EDF wanted to lend its support to the musée du quai Branly and associate its name with the museum's lighting. The Fondation EDF is now a member of the Founding Patrons' Circle of the museum and is assisting in the emergence of the Institution.
Highlighting of a Moai head in the heart of the museum
The Fondation EDF carries out work focused on the solidarity that is as much societal as environmental. Its sponsorship reflects and valorizes the diversity brought to the work in nature and in our societies.
In 2008, it dedicated an exhibition to Easter Island in its Cultural Space in Paris. In the extension of this demonstration that permitted a broad public to discover this civilization, its history, and its heritage, it today has the pleasure of bringing its support to the presentation of Moai head, an exceptional object of world heritage, in the entry hall of the musée du quai Branly.
Upon the occasion of this commitment the Fondation EDF had filmed the transport and installation operations of the Moai head, and interviewed Stéphane Martin, President of the musée du quai Branly. Discover these two videos below:

There have been two types of mystics in the world. One Gautam Buddha has called the arhatas. They have chosen to remain silent. They are absolutely committed to the truth and they are not going to compromise on any account. They will not say something which is not absolutely right, they will not say something which is only approximately true, because the approximately true is nothing but a lie. They will not give an example because there is no parallel to their experience, there is no possibility of any comparison. Seeing the situation, one can understand why they have chosen to remain silent.
But there has been another category of awakened people, enlightened ones, who have tried, although their efforts have not been very successful. By their very nature, they cannot be. But even if one person in a million has become awakened by the efforts of a bodhisattva, the second category of enlightened people, the effort was worth making.
The arhatas also have an answer for this. They say that if one man in a million becomes awakened by listening to a bodhisattva, that man was destined to become enlightened whether the bodhisattva had spoken or not.
I have been in a dilemma. You cannot deny what the arhatas are saying. They are saying the man has not become awakened from listening to you, because whatever you are saying is just a hint, far away; it cannot make anyone enlightened. And they have a certain reason for saying it, because people have become enlightened sitting by their side in silence, too. Nothing has been said, nothing has been indicated, but just the presence of the arhata, his silence, his peace, have proved contagious. Anyone who is receptive, available, open, has felt something which was not said, and has moved on the path. Not only has he moved.many have reached to the ultimate.
Hence the arhata has also a reason for saying that there is no need to say anything. Those who can understand will understand even your silence, and those who cannot understand are not going to understand; you may go on for years and years speaking to them, and they will remain deaf. You may talk about light, but they will not open their eyes. You may try to excite them about the beauties of the ultimate, but they will go on postponing the journey.
But the bodhisattva has his own reasoning - and perhaps both are right. The bodhisattva says that there are people who are just on the verge: just a little push and they may be transformed; just a little indication - a finger pointing to the moon - and they may be able to see. And anyway, even if nobody understands, it is still worthwhile to make the effort; at least it shows your compassion, at least it shows you are not unconcerned with the vast humanity which is groping in darkness. You have done whatever is humanly possible to do. If nobody hears it, if nobody listens to it, it is up to them - but they cannot blame you. They cannot complain that you knew and yet you remained silent, that you should have made some effort to wake them up.
These two categories have been in conflict for centuries, and both have been so clear about their approach that not even a single arhata has been converted by the bodhisattvas, or vice-versa: not a single bodhisattva has been converted by the arhatas.

Tasmania's tourism industry has cracked the million visitor milestone for the first time.
Airlines and ferry operators reported 1,007,000 visitors arriving in Tasmania in the year to September 2013.
About 10 per cent of those arrivals were international visitors, with the rest from interstate.
Tourism Minister Scott Bacon says there has been a particularly pronounced jump in numbers during winter.
"We've seen things like Dark MOFO, increased growth for the Festival of Voices, we've seen AFL football in Launceston."
Tourism Tasmania CEO John Fitzgerald says the numbers show the Government's focus on social media advertising is paying off:
"People come here because of recommendation more than any other state and social media is the powerhouse of that word of mouth."
He says the state's tourism industry is now readily comparable to those interstate.
"For instance the (Northern) Territory gets about 1.3 million, so we're very close to jurisdictions like that."
"And as we know the mainland capital cities drag a lot of people in, so it's a very good result for a small state in Australia."
He would like Tasmania to clock up 1.5 million visitors per year, by 2020.
The milestone was announced a day after Qantas detailed plans to replace its Hobart flights with a QantasLink service in April.
The tourism industry welcomed the airline's move to provide more frequent flights on smaller jets.
