Laissez le Bon temp rouler... let the good times roll!
Nothing is simple in The Big Easy, the setting for Season One of this sexy, action-packed crime series. In New Orleans steamy Latin Quarter, passions run as hot as Tabasco, loyalty has the life expectancy of a Rum Hurricane and the dark waters of the Louisiana bayou tell no tales.
Based on the hit 1987 film, THE BIG EASY stars Tony Crane (WISHMASTER) as Remy McSwain, a freewheeling Cajun cop not above committing a crime to solve one, and Susan Walters (SEINFELD s Mulva )as beautiful but dedicated federal agent Anne Osborne, who will go the distance to uphold the law... even as far as jumping into Remy s bed.
Costarring Barry Corbin (NORTHERN EXPOSURE) and produced by Sonny Grosso, whose career as a New York City cop inspired THE FRENCH CONNECTION, THE BIG EASY ran for two seasons on cable television's USA Network, bringing to discerning viewers a level of violence and eroticism at that time uncommon for prime time TV.
Includes all 22 episodes.
Available for the first time on DVD.
Originally aired on the USA Network.
Based on the critically acclaimed feature film starring Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin
Shot on location in New Orleans.
Stars Tony Crane (Wishmaster), Susan Walters (Seinfeld s Mulva ), and Barry Corbin (Northern Exposure).
Inspired by the feature of the same name, The Big Easy aims to re-create the steamy, sexy vibe of Jim McBrides 1987 film and its New Orleans setting for the small screen. All things considered, these 22 episodes (on four discs; there are no bonus features) from the first season (1996) do a decent job of it. This is not a show that relies much on storytelling; the plots, all of them involving murder mysteries, tend to be pedestrian and obvious, although "Snakebit," in which victims are dispatched by an enormous python, is a notable exception. The emphasis is more on the characters, including pre-Katrina New Orleans and its distinctive lingo, neighborhoods, and music. As for the folks who populate the Crescent City (which might as well be called "The Big Sleazy," considering that everyone is on the make in one way or another), the good guys include veteran Barry Corbin as Remys boss, Capt. C.D. LeBlanc, and Eric George as trumpeter-police informant Smiley Dupree, while others run the low-rent gamut from crooked politicians and snaggle-toothed bayou boys to transsexual prostitutes and bookies with names like Automatic Slim. The principals, as in the film, are smooth-talking, rule-bending Det. Remy ("like the cognaq--smooth but strong") McSwain and his love interest, government attorney Anne Osborne. Neither Tony Crane nor Susan Walters is likely to make anyone forget Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin in those roles, but that's not simply because the actors aren't as good (which they aren't--Walters in particular lacks the seasoned sensuality Barkin brought to the role). As is the case with pretty much any relatively low-budget cable production (The Big Easy ran for two seasons on the USA Network), the shows writing simply cant measure up to big-time Hollywood standards; in going for a light touch, too often it comes off as lightweight instead (although the dialogue is mostly good, the cutesy, almost constant arguing-flirting between the two leads quickly becomes tiresome). Still, any show that features the sounds of N'Awlins legends like Fats Domino and Earl King has its heart in the right place, and even if The Big Easy is neither good enough to be a consistent pleasure nor bad enough to be a guilty one, theres still enough here to laissez les bon temps rouler. --Sam Graham

"And that'll be $150 for use of the room." As if there weren't already enough items on your medical bills to de-code and argue over with your insurance carrier, keep your eyes peeled for the "facility fee." That's right, a charge for using the room.
The facility fee apparently has been around for quite some time, only most of us were unaware of its presence because it was buried among the fees submitted to our insurance companies. With fewer insurance carriers covering the fee, it is being passed along to patients.
Patients are not always told upfront about the facility fees and learn of them only when they receive an itemized bill. Hospitals say they need the fees to cover costs. Shell-shocked patients and consumer advocates think it's just another way to stick it to the patient.
According to a story on Kaiser Health News, patients are being charged the fees as the result of an obscure change in Medicare rules that occurred a decade ago. Because hospitals and hospital-based practices can bill Medicare beneficiaries this way, they must do the same for all patients. This applies to hospitals that own physician offices and outpatient clinics, but freestanding doctors' offices and clinics are not permitted to charge these fees, which can range from $25 to hundreds of dollars.
Medical bills are already difficult enough to decipher. What, exactly, we're paying for, and how much we can expect to pay, is a mystery to most of us before the fact. It's not as if we can check out a menu of facilities, physicians, and procedures in order to comparison shop. It's not as if we always have the time to even consider our options. We're pretty much at the mercy of the facilities and physicians that happen to be "in-network" according to our insurance carriers.
The last time I visited the hospital, I didn't even receive an itemized bill — just a grand total — apparently, you have to ask if you even want to take a look at the individual charges.
Without comprehensive health care reform, we can expect more of the same. More hidden fees, higher premiums, higher deductibles… more stickin' it to the patiens… and ever-more incentive to go without health care at all.

Lots of extra costs that arent explained at the time of service. Then all of a sudden you get a bill.
Heres a great example. In 2005, the Violence Against Women Act was amended to provide free medical forensic exams to sexual assault victims who go to the hospitalwhether or not they choose to file a police report. However, in states like Louisiana rape victims are afterward presented with medical bills totaling thousands of dollars. VAWAs provision covers costs related to an examination of physical trauma, a determination of penetration or force, a patient interview and collection of evidence. It doesnt necessarily cover all the other procedures typically offered alongside the exam, such as tests for pregnancy and STIs, emergency contraception, post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV, or treatment for injuries sustained during the attack. But nobody explains that to the victims. Some victims were even billed for the cost of the emergency room visit itself. Talk about trauma!
It's amazing what they try to "tack on".
If I wasn't sick before I read this I am now!
Thanks Ann.
Interesting thast this article says the "use of the room fee" is legal only for hospital-associated facilities. I've been to the urgent care clinic in my area twice ... not connected with a hospital ... and both times was charged a use of the room fee. When I called the billing office to question this (how else can you be treated there if not in a room), I was given a gobbledygook answer, and the bottom line is if you acceot treatment there, you pay an additional room fee. So how and to whom does one report this if it isn't allowed by law for a non-hospital facility, assuming this article is correct?

If you are rich and can pay big bucks, you deserve to live. If you're too poor to afford insurance you can just go die somewhere in the street, preferably out of sight? Let's face it folks, it all hasn't moved too far from the days of noblemen and peasants has it? How can any decent-thinking person think that this sort of system is OK?
If a hospital is a "not for profit" facility then they shouldn't charge or if there is a charge it should be minimal which would be enough to cover food and the cleaning of the facility, like it would be if you were in a hotel. But to charge $2,000 a day is just way out of line.
Another good example of why we need health care reform and especially we need universal health care, not health insurance coverage.
Until we ditch the insurance model I really do not see how there will be any meaningful reform. The insurance model is not working, we need extend medicare to cover all American citizens.
There are two amendments that support universal health care, the Weiner and Kucinich amendments. You can ask your representatives to support these in the House.

When my husband went in for out patient surgery, we received some bills... and then we received some more bills... and then we received a check back from the hospital... and then we received some more bills... I'm still waiting for a bill from the person that emptied the garbage in his room, it's all so sliced and diced up to each person. The guy who takes the x-ray, the guy who processes it, the guy who reads it, etc. Maybe my music school should start doing that. Fee for the person who set up the lesson, fee for the room that the lesson is in, fee for the tuning of the piano, fee for the teacher, fee for use of the keyboard? Hhhmmmm, food for thought.
As a former pt acct rep for a nonprofit hospital corporation, I can confirm that the facility fee includes the charges for nursing care. For whatever reason the govt allows hospitals to bill separately for MD care but not nursing care. The facility fee also includes the payment needed for utilities (light, water, heat, etc) and for payment on the facility and medical machinery itself. There is also the amount that the hospital must make up for its nonreimbursable charges for care, ie. the uninsured who cannot/will not pay. As the saying goes, "nothing is free". I do agree that itemized billing is a must and a patient right. It should be on the very first bill you receive, if no others.

There's an unspoken agreement that consumers and companies enter into millions of times a day: Consumers get free products that they value (Facebook and Twitter), and the companies show them semi-personalized and relevant ads to pay for the service. But survey after survey shows that Americans value privacy but feel resigned to not having much when they venture online. Businesses live in fear of a data breach that would undermine the public's trust in their company and cost them revenue and shareholder value.

The Associated Press has named Jane Seagrave as director of AP Digital, which provides news and information to Web sites, wireless operators, corporate desktops, and other commercial and new media applications. Seagrave will have financial and content responsibility for the AP Digital business.
The announcement was made by Tom Brettingen, senior vice president and director of Newspaper & New Media Markets. AP Digital is part of the Newspaper & New Media Markets department and Seagrave reports to Brettingen, succeeding Tom Slaughter, who has been appointed vice president of New Media Markets. Seagrave, a former AP journalist, returns to the AP after most recently managing the integration of American Lawyer Media--a print publisher of news and information for legal professionals--with law.com, the dominant Internet-based provider of legal news.
The new AP Digital merges two former AP divisions: AP Digital and AP Information Services. Under the realignment, Ruth Gersh, director of online services, Ted Mendelsohn, director of licensing, and Carol Galofaro, director of sales, report to Seagrave. Gersh, formerly editorial director of AP Multimedia, has responsibility for management of the full portfolio of online products for AP Digital. Mendelsohn will continue to manage key accounts for AP Digital and Galofaro will continue to lead direct sales efforts.

Dear Angie: My shower makes a whistling noise. Why does it do this and can I make it stop? – Betty V., Phoenix
Common in commercial restrooms, touchless bathroom sink faucets are now within reach for homeowners.
Angie's Answers
Take off the lid to the tank and check inside. There should be a small hose going into a larger pipe near the middle of the tank right next to the flapper. When you flush the toilet water squirts from that hose into the pipe. If it isn't in place put it back so that water goes down that pipe once again. This is what refills your bowl. If water does not come out of the little hose check to see if it is kinked or blocked. You can take it off and blow air through it. Don't worry, it's only clean water that goes through the hose. If it is clear and water does not come out of the short pipe where it attaches on the flush valve then there is a clog in that valve and it will probably need to be replaced. These are $10-20 at any home improvement store and even Wal-Mart. The instructions are simple and you can do it yourself in about 15 minutes. Check the washer on the supply hose to the toilet while it is off to replace the flush valve. If it is old or worn replace the hose as well. It is cheap insurance of only a few dollars which is a lot cheaper than a failed hose or washer causing water to leak.
If you don't feel comfortable replacing the fill valve, if it is needed, a handyman can do it fairly cheap. Whereas a plumber or other contractor will have a minimum charge of $100-200 a handyman might do it for about $50.

From the sounds of it, you have a clog between the floor drain and the connection to the city sewer (unless you have a septic tank). The lower flow rates of sinks / showers / dishwashers probable don't cause a backup like the washing machine does. A couple of suggestions.
1. Snake the drain line with a spade tip snake, twisting the snake as you advance it. This should clear the partial blockage.
2. If feasable, have your washing machine discharge into a utility sink and put a strainer on the drain to catch the clothing fibre (fibres and grease from the sink probably made the clog in the first place not to mention a garbage disposal).
3. Replace your floor drain with one that has a backflow preventer (looks like there is a ping pong ball in it).
Good Luck
Well , you've certainly started a debate that will endure forever , but personally , having worked with both products , PEX is a better product . Now granted , the 1st time i used it
I was not impressed , cause it leaked.......NOT because the product was at fault, it was because I did not understand how to use the product !
The trick to using Pex , is to make certain that the fittings seat, they MUST be pushed together with force, and if you do not push with force to get the seat to seal, it leaks .
Therefore , when using PEX , you have constantly to be aware of leaving room to make your connections -Properly !
The beauty of PEX is that it bends , it is flexible and decreases the labor factor ,although the connection costs are often 100-300 % higher than copper , but again , it can cut labor costs in half and it is safer to work with, NO FLAMEs!

What you need to know about the CA Endevor "actions" used by the Rational Developer for System z CARMA Enhanced Edit feature
SteveSpirk 060001UESP Visits (2244)
Rational Developer for System z added the CARMA Enhanced Edit feature for CA Endevor SCM users in the 8.5.1 release. This CARMA Enhanced Edit feature is RDz's implementation of CA Endevor's Fast/Quick Edit. This feature allows RDz users to edit elements in the Endevor repository without having to retrieve/extract element out of repository into external file. When performing changes to a program, user will start by selecting the "version" of program/element within Endevor that they want to change. This usually is the "production" version of the program/element. When working with RDz CARMA, user would select (right-click on) element to be opened and select Edit/'Edit with' from the context menu.
When the CARMA Edit Element UI screen appears, user indicates to CARMA where they want element copied. This would typically be the "entry" environment/stage where they are allowed to edit element.
So what Endevor "actions" does CARMA use to copy "production" element into entry/editing environment/stage? That is a very important question because there are several different Endevor "actions" to do this, but not all RDz users are authorized to perform all Endevor "actions". The Endevor "actions" to handle this copy are generated from the RDz host Endevor RAM. These "actions" are run in foreground mode because of the unpredictable nature of running "action" as a batch job (CARMA has no idea when job will run/complete). Below I've listed how this "copy" of the element to "entry" environment/stage is handled in the available 8.5 releases and 9.0.
RDz 8.5.1 Endevor RAM: This was the initial implementation of the CARMA enhanced edit feature. In this release, the copy of the element to "entry" environment/stage is done using the Endevor GENERATE ELEMENT "action", with the "copyback" option. We have found that foreground GENERATEs are not allowed or are problematic in some customer environments.
RDz 220.127.116.11/9.0 Endevor RAM: In these releases, the copy to "entry" environment/stage was changed to use the Endevor TRANSFER ELEMENT "action". The element is opened in the RDz editor after the foreground Transfer has completed. In many cases, when the element is opened, some/all dependencies are not resolved until a GENERATE is done for the element being edited in this Environment/stage. We have also found that some customer sites do not allow RDz users to run Transfer "action".
RDz 126.96.36.199 Endevor RAM: In this release, the default way that CARMA handles this "copy" is still with the Endevor TRANSFER ELEMENT "action", however, we also allow you to configure RDz to use the RETRIEVE ELEMENT (from "prod") and ADD ELEMENT (to "test") "actions" to handle this "copy". To configure CARMA to use RETRIEVE-ADD "actions" for program/element "copy", you need to un-comment the 'ENT
To resolve dependencies when an element is opened using CARMA Enhanced Edit, a GENERATE ELEMENT request was added (126.96.36.199) following the TRAN
When you select this option, keep in mind there is good chance all dependencies will not be resolved by the RDz editor until a GENERATE is done on the element being opened, in the Endevor environment it is being opened from. This option should only be selected if you have trouble running foreground GENERATEs.
The current versions of RDz are 126.96.36.199 and 9.0 (Nov. 2013). The APAR mentioned in the previous paragraph will be delivered in the 8.5.1.next and 9.0.next RDz host PTFs. To verify what CA Endevor "actions" are being used in your environment, you can view the Endevor "actions" used in the MSG3FILE. The MSG3FILE is allocated in the user's CARMA server who performed the CARMA Enhanced Edit on element.

DevOps and Continuous Deployment Jazz.net blog roundup
AcdntlPoet 2700019V2G Visits (2445)
Our Jazz.net authors have been quite productive recently writing and publishing a slew of blog posts on the topics of DevOps and Continuous Delivery. Check out a selection of posts below from the subject matter experts themselves as they discuss deep technical topics that can help you improve your own release cycles, performance, and efficiency in deployments!
DevOps Culture - Retrospectives and continuous improvement- In the Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) project we have declared three imperatives for improvement in order to increase our agility with a goal of continuous delivery: culture, process, and tools. Of these three things, culture is, in my opinion, the most difficult thing to change because it's less tangible than processes and tools and because culture is often deeply ingrained in an organization and a team. Consequently, cultural changes can take a long time to implement. This is the first in a series of posts where I'll discuss some of the important cultural issues and changes that we've tackled in the CLM project.
DevOps for Dummies now available!-You have probably heard about DevOps but you want to cut through the hype and understand more about this approach. That is the genesis of DevOps for Dummies, authored by IBM's Sanjeev Sharma. It is written to appeal to both practitioners and managers and to show you how you can apply a new DevOps approach to more rapidly deliver innovative applications and services that solve real business problems.
Rapid build deployment using IBM UrbanCode Deploy- Previously I have focused on build performance in posts like Speeding up the pipeline by slowing down builds and Rethinking personal builds, but there is a lot more to a continuous delivery pipeline than build times. Once a build produces artifacts, you need to do something with them. Often the next step is to install the product onto a machine for either testing or production use. The installation is typically a process such as copying a zip to a machine and unzipping it or running an install program, but can sometimes be more complicated when special configuration is required. Below I describe how we have started using IBM UrbanCode Deploy to allow builds to easily and automatically install, configure and invoke server applications onto machines in the cloud before an application installer has even been created.
Working towards continuous deployment in Jazz.net- I have worked for IBM for about 20 years, moving back and forth between development, customer support and IT operations roles. Working in these different roles helped give me perspective for my current role as the manager for Jazz Continuous Deployments/DevOps. In this role I am responsible for ensuring that our multiple staging and self-hosting environments are stable and always using the latest driver or sprint of the Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) products. We are not yet at the point where we can automatically deploy a new driver daily to production, but we are working towards that goal.
Unify your test automation for continuous delivery- This is the second article about testing in our Continuous Delivery series to share practices we have adopted in our own development team within Rational Team Concert (RTC). The presented techniques are used to control software evolution and to improve the quality of our code base. Since there is a variety of IBM and open source tools we are using, we focus here on the practices and techniques rather than on particular tools.
CLM Continuous Deployment Pipeline: Reporting on the state of affairs-The following is the third posting in my Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) Continuous Deployment series of blogs on Jazz.net. The earlier two blogs can be found at Improving throughput in the deployment pipeline and Behind the scenes of the CLM Continuous Deployment pipeline. In Behind the scenes of the CLM Continuous Deployment pipeline, I had mentioned a mechanism we have developed on the Jazz Collaborative ALM project to gather progress and status data of phases that make up our deployment and test execution pipeline. In this post, I will show you how we use the gathered data for reporting on the overall state of the pipeline and narrow down on the root causes upon its failure. Additionally, the data allows us to create trend reports that help us assess the overall quality of our builds, tests and product code over a period of time.
From 'use what we sell' to 'practice what we preach'- This is part three in our blog series describing the transformation of our internal ALM development organization toward a Continuous Delivery model. In this series, we describe the motivations behind adoption of a Continuous Delivery model and the many challenges we faced as we embarked on this transformation from both the planning and execution perspectives.
Role of the run team in our Continuous Delivery process- I am one of the developers in the Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) project contributing to the Tracking and Planning (TAP) functionality of Rational Team Concert (RTC). I have been part of the TAP team from last four years and involved in delivering RTC in longer and shorter release cycles. You would have read posts written by my colleagues on how we changed our processes and organized our teams for adapting to the Continuous Delivery lifecycle. This blog is the continuation to these posts, in which I'll be talking about the "Run Team" and its necessity and role in delivering quality values to our product. We have been running the Run Team from the last four releases (since 4.0.1) and I was part of the team for three releases and led the team during two releases.
Rational Team Concert source control makes continuous delivery easier- Rational Team Concert (RTC) has started releasing quarterly. Since large features rarely fit into such short cycles, we're making heavy use of RTC's branching and merging functionality. That could result in merge hell, but it doesn't. This post will give you an idea of how the RTC team uses our own source control management system, and show how its design helps large teams maintain many branches without nightmarish merging.
How does Rational 'do Continuous Delivery?'- This is part two in our blog series describing the transformation of our internal ALM development organization toward a Continuous Delivery model. In this series, we describe the motivations behind adoption of a Continuous Delivery model and the many challenges we faced as we embarked on this transformation from both the planning and execution perspectives.
Organizing our teams for Continuous Delivery- You may have been reading the blog posts of my colleagues around continuous delivery including the motivation behind it, our focus areas as we transformed from annual to quarterly releases, and some process improvements that we implemented. Continuing this theme, in this blog I'll write about one of the most dramatic changes that we underwent as a development team to support continuous delivery - the restructuring of the team itself into a new avatar that we like to believe is more agile and more user focused than it was earlier.

A deve
Darrel Rader, a technical skills and development leader in IBM Rational has built this amazingly short (only 6 slides!) but robust presentation on slideshare.net to help explain what learning circles are:
Now that you know what a learning circle is, did you know we've got five of them currently rolled out (with more to come)? Check out the great learning circles below, choose one, and dive in! These learning circles focus on aspects of the product and application lifecycle:
Because you may not have time to browse all the resources and mingle with other learners in one sitting, learning circles help you create your own personal roadmaps, your pathways through the resources.
You can check off items as you complete them, break away whenever you need to, and easily return anytime. No guesswork; no wasted time trying to recreate where you were.
You can keep your progress confidential, of course. But you also have the option of easily sharing your progress with a mentor, your manager, or your team so you can all progress together.
Don't forget to keep and eye on our developerWorks Learning Circles page to see when new circles are added!

Six decades later, families still await WWII payBreaking News
Now, those same families and their heirs are battling the U.S. government for what they say is their fair share of more than $30 million in profits. A judge's preliminary ruling in their favor raised the prospect of a settlement two years ago, but even a famed mediator — former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor — was unable to resolve the conflict.
"They don't get around to paying you quickly when they owe you money," said 83-year-old William Griggs, who had just graduated from high school in May 1942, when his grandfather and other small farmers were told to move off their land.
"Everybody was disappointed," he said. "But we were patriotic."
Interviews with residents, historical documents and court records tell the story behind what attorneys say may be the nation's last remaining land dispute from World War II, a huge expanse of farmland that became Camp Breckinridge.
The camp, spanning 36,000 acres across Union, Henderson and Webster counties, was one of a handful of inland camps built to train soldiers far from the threat of coastal attacks.
More than 1,000 people were forced off the land, either through negotiated sales or through condemnation proceedings. Their 522 properties ranged in size from 50 acres to 250 acres...

December 19, 2013 — Wolfram Blog Team
For many years, Wolfram Research has promoted and supported initiatives that encourage computation, programming, and STEM education, and we are always thrilled when efforts are taken by others to do the same. As sponsors of organizations like Computer-Based Math™, which is working toward building a completely new math curriculum with computer-based computation at its heart, and the Mathematica Summer Camp, where high school students with limited programming experience learn to code using Mathematica, we're probably more acutely aware than most of how important programming is in schools today.
November 11, 2013 — Abigail Nussey, Wolfram Science Summer School Event Director
Applications are now open for the 2014 Wolfram Science Summer School, the twelfth year it's been held. Over my six years of participation in the school (as Event Director, student, and instructor), I've met a lot of people from all over the world, seen a lot of interesting projects (many of which turned into theses, papers, and products), and worked on my own projects as well. Some of my favorite student projects over the years have been in economics, medicine, finance, and music.
November 6, 2013 — Wolfram Blog Team
Last month, students in the midterm review session of Harvard's Math 21a class received a lesson in Mathematica they would not soon forget. Professor Oliver Knill coded a 3D-animated Miley Cyrus swinging on a wrecking ball to the beat of her song (by the same name). Knill used the same principles of mathematics that his class was reviewing for the midterm—and now he just may be the coolest professor ever.

Each summer a group of interns arrives at Wolfram Research to work on a host of exciting projects that not only prepare them for their future careers, but also give them the opportunity to make some great contributions to Wolfram technologies. One such contribution this year was the "Fun Curves" project for Wolfram|Alpha that took drawings of famous cartoon characters and turned them into mathematical equations.

The Wolfram Education Team is going all over the United States and even online this fall semester. We are excited to demonstrate new advances in Wolfram technologies and their applications in the classroom.
August 9, 2013 — Wolfram Blog Team
The Wolfram Demonstrations Project has newly organized its K–12 interactive content to fit United States Common Core State Standards.
Engagement, exploration, discovery—these are the staples of good education. Giving students the freedom to be curious and the tools to satisfy that curiosity helps develop independent thinkers and confident problem-solvers.
With the Demonstrations Project, students can visualize, manipulate, and explore the very principles that are being taught in the classroom. Teachers can enrich their lesson plans with cutting-edge and engaging content by exploring the Demonstrations database by grade level and Common Core Standard.
August 5, 2013 — Crystal Fantry, Manager, Education Content
Thirty-three extremely intelligent high school students gathered at Bentley University July 7-19 to participate in our second annual Mathematica Summer Camp. The program lasted two weeks, and within this small window of time, students created their very own Mathematica projects. At the end of the camp, students presented these projects to their peers, camp instructors, and Stephen Wolfram. Projects ranged from games created in Mathematica to a Demonstration of the "Wavefunction and Probability Density of a Coupled Quantum Harmonic Oscillator." These projects will be posted to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project here, adding to the great work of those from 2012!
June 26, 2013 — Jon McLoone, International Business & Strategic Development
My government (I'm in the UK) recently said that children here should learn up to their 12 times table by the age of 9. Now, I always believed that the reason why I learned my 12 times table was because of the money system that the UK used to have—12 pennies in a shilling. Since that madness ended with decimalization the year after I was born, by the late 1970s when I had to learn my 12 times table, it already seemed to be an anachronistic waste of time.
March 13, 2013 — Crystal Fantry, Manager, Education Content
It's that time of year again! Time to apply for the Mathematica Summer Camp 2013! The camp is being held at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts, July 7–19. Students will have the opportunity to learn Mathematica's computing language, work with Wolfram mentors, and interact with other students with similar interests. By the end of camp, each student will have created his or her very own Mathematica program!
Last year the camp was a great success, and students worked on a variety of projects, from modeling diseases to stereographic projection of platonic solids.

The Sochi Olympics, From Putin and the Plutocrats to Pussy Riot
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan

Most notably is intense, often violent homophobia, tacitly endorsed by the government with the recent passage of the law against "gay propaganda."
