Recently reviewed films now showing in metro area theaters:American Gangster (R) Director Ridley Scott takes some Martin Scorsese, a little Spike Lee and a few pages from the mob-movie handbook to create the greatest crime drama since "GoodFellas." Denzel Washington plays Harlem smack dealer Frank Lucas, who is being pursued by bulldog Jersey cop Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe). An unqualified masterpiece. 4 stars - Michael Clark August Rush (PG) Freddie Highmore ("Finding Neverland") is the only interesting facet of this blatant modern rip-off of "Oliver Twist." If you dread predictable or saccharine-laced movies, steer far clear of "August Rush." But if you revel in feel-good weepies, rush on over to see it - you'll be reaching for a hanky even before the opening credits finish. 2 stars - MC Bee Movie (PG) Jerry Seinfeld's long-awaited feature film debut is like an episode of his old TV show, only three times longer and animated. Geared more toward adults than children, the first half's mostly wacky misadventures morph into a preachy and downbeat finale. It's ultimately saved by celebrity voice cameos from Sting, Ray Liotta, Larry King and Oprah Winfrey. 21/2 stars - MC Beowulf (PG-13) Director Robert Zemeckis' uses "motion-capture" animation in this brilliant adaptation of the classic epic poem. Pushing the PG-13 envelope far with bloody gore and suggestive erotica, the film is an eye-popping feast with humor inserted in just the right places and deep, resonant, universal themes. You won't find a more entertaining 2007 movie than this one. 4 stars - MC Dan in Real Life (PG-13) Steve Carell shows more range than he ever has, but it's mostly a lost cause. A horrible combination of "Cheaper By the Dozen" and "The Waltons" by way of a Dear Abby advice column, the movie is designed to be a light, frothy romantic comedy but would have worked much better as an edgy, R-rated drama with regular injections of black humor. 2 stars - MC Enchanted (PG) The Disney studios do the near impossible here, skewering their entire "fairy-tale" catalog while simultaneously paying homage to it. Amy Adams as the charmingly precious lead princess is never less than brilliant. Patrick Dempsey as a skeptical attorney and James Marsden as a vacuous prince take turns as love interests. 31/2 stars - MC Fred Claus (PG) Vince Vaughn stars as the title character and turns in a predictable Vaughn performance. His smart-aleck, charm-oozing bad boy offers acceptable contrast to Paul Giamatti's sad sack Santa, but the overlong movie itself is surprisingly stiff and serious. Evidently audiences agreed, as it posted a disappointing third place on opening weekend. 11/2 stars - MC Hitman (R) Not quite based on the video game of the same name, "Hitman" is a quickly slapped together hodgepodge of other sharp-shooting action films. Fans of the game have complained, citing it strays too far from the original concept. For audiences not familiar with the game and looking only for gunfire and pyrotechnics, "Hitman" will make for a passable, if weak, way to kill 90 minutes. 2 stars - MC I'm Not There (R) Like Bob Dylan himself, writer/director Todd Haynes' brilliant, all-over-the-place biopic of the singer refuses to be labeled or pinned down. Its inscrutable tone and scattershot narrative will make clear sense only to the most ardent Dylan fans, and Haynes' choice to use six actors to play variations of his personas will only add to the confusion. 31/2 stars - MC Lions for Lambs (R) Even the most fervent anti-war protesters will wince with embarrassment watching this preachy, boring and static talk-a-thon. The presence of megastars Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford (also the director) isn't enough to breathe any life into what amounts to a 90-minute, three-part lecture told in real time. 1 star - MC Margot at the Wedding (R) Filmmaker Noah Baumbach's follow-up to the far superior "Squid and the Whale" contains similarly presented family dysfunction themes. But "Squid" benefited because of its depth, character arc and underlying hope. "Margot" has none of these qualities. It's mean-spirited and shallow, yet is, in a twisted way, a valid piece of work. 21/2 stars - MC The Mist (R) After crafting a classic Stephen King adaptation ("The Shawshank Redemption"), then a so-so one ("The Green Mile"), director/adaptor Frank Darabont hits rock-bottom with "The Mist." Less a spooky, supernatural horror flick than clumsy, socio-political parable, the film is 30 minutes too long and features one of the most depressing endings of all time. 1 star - MC Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (G) Dustin Hoffman stars as a 243-year-old magic store owner preparing for death in this weak "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" rip-off. Oscar-nominated screenwriter Zach Helm ("Stranger Than Fiction") makes his directorial debut in a movie overflowing with great intent but done with completely flat-footed execution. 1 star - MC No Country for Old Men (R) The Coen brothers return to their glorious, "Blood Simple" beginnings with this stark and brutal crime thriller adapted from the Cormac McCarthy novel. Javier Bardem plays an assassin on the trail of a Vietnam vet (Josh Brolin) who stumbled upon $2 million in dirty money. Tommy Lee Jones co-stars as the sheriff chasing them. 31/2 stars - MC Sleuth (R) Producer Jude Law certainly tapped the talent well when preparing this remake of the 1972 original. He cast himself in the role originally played by Michael Caine, cast Caine in the Laurence Olivier role, brought in Kenneth Branagh to direct and enlisted Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter to pen the screenplay. Starting out strong, the film takes a nosedive halfway through and never recovers. 21/2 stars - MC

Young adults drank far more calories from sugar-sweetened beverages than did the elderly, with young blacks consuming the highest percentage of sugar-sweetened beverages.
The researchers also found that overweight adults who were trying to lose weight were less likely to drink sugar-sweetened beverages, yet still consumed an average of 278 calories a day during the second study period.
"U.S. adults are consuming a very large amount of sugar-sweetened beverages, and it has increased over time," said Bleich. "I think there are two main drivers to the increase: One is availability. Sugar-sweetened beverages are everywhere. And, two, the container size has increased, so that on any given consumption occasion, people are drinking more."
"Everyone is definitely used to super-sizing," said registered dietician Samantha Heller, host of the satellite radio program, The Samantha Heller Health and Nutrition Show on the NYU Langone Medical Center's Doctor Radio. "If you look at old 8-ounce Coke bottles, they look tiny, but a 20-ounce bottle looks normal."
"One 12-ounce can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, and most people are drinking more than 12 ounces," she added.
Heller said that she realizes it can be hard to make a change. "When you drink something that tastes good and gives you an energy boost, it's awfully hard to make a connection between those feelings and the fact that those drinks can contribute to overweight, obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease."
Still, she advised, "You need to limit your daily intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. To give yourself an incentive, take the money you would've spent on those drinks and put it in a jar, and in a couple of months, buy something fun for yourself or your family."

American College of Cardiology and Association of Black Cardiologists Endorse Zip Code-Based Database
WASHINGTON, April 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF), one of the nation's leading voices in the health disparities discussion, is launching the CVD Atlas, a database that maps cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence nationwide, with the endorsement of the American College of Cardiology and support from Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. This powerful endorsement and the launch of the CVD Atlas will be announced at the NMQF's Sixth Annual Health Disparities Leadership Summit on April 27th.
The CVD Atlas enables users to map the prevalence of CVD by state and by legislative district, as well as by age, gender, race and ethnicity. Minorities in the United States experience disparities in cardiovascular health that include higher rates of obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, heart disease and stroke.
"More must be done to reduce the disparities in cardiovascular health seen across the country. The CVD Atlas represents a new tool in our efforts to reduce health disparities. Our efforts can now be targeted to those who need help the most," said Dr. Jack Lewin, Chief Executive Officer of the American College of Cardiology.
The CVD Atlas is a component of the NMQF's zip code database, the Z Atlas. The Z Atlas offers similar tools for HIV/AIDS, chronic kidney disease and diabetes that are used by legislators, patient and minority advocacy groups, medical professionals and pharmaceutical companies to address health care issues that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic populations.
"We commend the National Minority Quality Forum for their data-driven commitment to reducing health disparities. The CVD Atlas will allow health disparities programming to be targeted to the communities that need them the most," s

Pusha kills it. Fire.
Malice Found Religion, Tony Found Prison, I'm just tryna find my fuckin way up out this kitchen- PUSHA . realest coke rapper ever.
This song is one of the dopest I've heard all year.. Hip-Hop is hanging on by a thread
Damn! Now let's get back to that real rap shit!!! Not that overhyped "Control" shit!
when these two get on a track history repeats itself over and over again
Fire. Pusha bodied this track.
JChrioni RigaMortician SoundCloud Repsonse to Kendrick's Control Verse On Kendrick's Rigamortis beat. Night Night Kendrick. All love, though.
my goodness, lyrics!
Love it!!!
Damn Malice, why you have to go "find God" and shit!! You and Push made an ill team slangin that cocaine rap. Now Push gotta hold it down on his own while you out there wasting your flow tryin to rap "positive". Take it from Ma$e, Gangsta Boo, Cassidy, and all these other rappers who tried to switch up their rap topic because they found religion. All them niggaz eventually went back to what they were rappin about in the beginning because no one wants to be preached at by a rapper. Unless you figure out a way to make Jesus Walks part 2, don't waste your time homey. There aint nuthin wrong with gangsta rap. Niggaz know it just entertainment. Nobody believes Push is still sellin drugs. But there's nuthin wrong with him rappin about it.....
to be honest, you haven't been keeping up with the industry b/c there is a market for it and even if it wasn't, let that man do him.
but pusha and malice DID sell drugs at one point, and their best friend di go to jail for leading a 10 mil a year drug ring. I understand why he needed to find religion man..he was in a dark place. That being said, they still need to fuckin rap together. They need to rap together, and they need to get back with the neptunes. Kanye aint giving pusha jack shit to rap on yet. Them and neptunes were unbelievable.
Awesome...Malice needs to come back for real.
Why would yall want to go back on God just to make gangster rap for you?!!!
niggas forgot about Malice!! he damn near nicer than push
Damn near. He is better than Pusha period. Don't get it twisted because both rappers are nice. No Malice was always deeper and had better complex, in-sight lyrics than Pusha T.
No Malice feat Pusha T.....isn't that just The Clipse??
nah kids, the clipse is Pusha T and MALICE. when he found god he switched it up to NO MALICE. go cop hell hath no fury. best coke rap album EVER.
no, not if they were working together as the clipse and malice had this song finished then sent it to pusha for him to put a verse on it.
.....no shit
This shit bang
Malice is amazing and Pusha T is too, but I mean them apart it just doesn't even seem legit. Pusha T need to gone head and realize his supposed "Street Classic" is never going to hit the shelves unless he gets released from his contract and goes indie. Other than that The Clipse got hits and the world is begging for a reunion!!! Hell Hath No Fury is a classic.
my buddys half-sister makes $84/hr on the laptop. She has been without work for 10 months but last month her check was $21339 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more on this site CAN99.C0M

This >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kendrick
this is not 5/5. anyone remember how flawless BOTH malice and pushas flows were??? :(
youre right; compared to the old shit they did its not. Compared to anything new it probably is a 5/5 song. No one puts out good songs anymore really. Obviously comparin this to anything they did pre till the casket drops, its not a 5
"mozart never tickled this many keys" ah yes!
This is dope. Checkout thegrandreport, they got some good videos on there
Clipse baby. If only the beat was be prunes like the glory days. This is he pusha we all wanna hear though

Hi I was given potted calla lilies in April and now some of the flowers are bending at the stem towards the ground. Why is this happening and what should I do?
When calla lilies are pollinated, the seed stalk becomes heavy and bends over to the ground. To prevent them from self seeding you can cut off the developing seed stalk.

While no Cleveland sports team has won any major titles in four decades, it is a great time to be a fan of Northeast Ohio's adopted college team The Ohio State University.
The last decade has been a treat for Buckeye fans. This year marks the second Final Four appearance for the basketball team since 1999 (setting aside the ridiculous NCAA penalty means that everyone must now pretend OSU did not make the Final Four that year).
In January, OSU played for its second national football championship this millennium. And, though they fell short of their ultimate goal, the team's perfect regular season gave beleaguered Ohio sports fans something around which to rally.
OSU and its talented freshman leaders, Greg Oden and Mike Connely Jr., will take the court Saturday against Georgetown with a chance to move on and play for the national championship. Coincidentally, the Florida Gators the same school that you might recall ended the football team's season will play the UCLA Bruins. We, for one, will be rooting for Florida because if the Gators and Buckeyes both win it will be the first time the same two schools played for both the football and basketball championships.
And we're willing to bet most Buckeye fans would like a chance to repay Florida for upsetting the football team. With the Gators defending national champs on the hardwood, this time it would be the Buckeyes who get to play spoiler.
No matter what happens, we congratulate the student-athletes for their tremendous season.

I think I messed with building CMUCL about 3 or 4 years ago, and I have to say that I wasn't really encouraged to further follow that path. (Well, I've heard that the debian version of CMUCL has a nice build-script, but I'm not really motivated to use it, right now.) So, I'll probably don't do any benchmarks if it involves rebuilding CMUCL. ;) > (Also, one minor benefit of enabling the byte compiler at cold init > time, so that substantial chunks of SBCL itself can be byte-compiled, > is that the byte compiler is supposed to be faster, although I haven't > actually measured it. I wouldn't mind having SBCL build a little > faster!) Me neither! But compiling these chunks would probably apply directly to macros only. If functions that are used very often in the build process, while SBCL compiles parts of itself, this would probably slow things down, wouldn't it? > The compiler feature that I suppressed that I regret most is not > pooling (which I'm still fairly happy to have gone) but block > compilation.

(Substantially the same effect can be achieved, portably but > with a lot more inconvenience, by rewriting the relevant code as a big > LABELS statement.) Rewriting all the files involved as big labels forms encapsulating the functions would be somewhat ugly, IMHO. What exactly do you mean by "portably"? CLHS 18.104.22.168: "... A call within a file to a named function that is defined in the same file refers to that function, unless that function has been declared notinline. The consequences are unspecified if functions are redefined individually at run time or multiply defined in the same file." So, I guess, block compilation should be portable. > (Incidentally, any name more formal than Bill sounds funny to me in > conversation. Americans don't usually get into the Herr Doktor William > Newman thing (except in limited contexts like http://www.sca.org:-). My Ok. I'll try to keep that in mind, Bill. (So, with this clarification, even for non-Americans like me, the current middle ages found on http://www.sca.org should be over now, finally! ;-) -- Martin Atzmueller <martin@...>

Victoria's Secret Drenched in PINK Sweet & Flirty Supersoft Body Lotion

I like Victoria Secret's Sweet & Flirty lotion a lot, but it doesn't moisturize my skin as much as I need it to. I don't have particularly dry skin; however, I've put this on after I come out of the shower & my skin was dry the very next morning. It's weird because the lotion is thick & creamy! It smells nice�sweet & flirty like the name puts forward. I just wear it during the daytime to soften my skin & for the fragrance. If you have dry skin & need deep moisture, this isn't what I'd put on. It's just a fruity summertime lotion that I honestly wear more for the scent than the moisturizing benefits. As anyone can see, the bottle is huge & a oddly shaped, so I don't recommend carrying it around. It cost $12.
Note: This lotion has been discontinued; I don't know what the replacement is (or if there is one)

This smells wonderful! I love how cute & playful the scent is. My boyfriend & I were hanging out one day at a book store, and he was walking behind me when he suddenly buried his head into the back of my neck, wanting to know what perfume this is so he can buy more. Lol! I use this all over my body after a shower, especially after I shave. And it isn't greasy at all, it absorbs fast, and I'm superr soft by the morning. :)

I bought this huge bottle of lotion when it was on 50% off. I decided to try it and I surprisingly liked it. When the PINK fragrances first came out I wasn't impressed by any of them but now they have come out with a few new ones that I like (not love but like). I'm a true to the heart fan of VS Fantasies fragrances so it's very hard to be swayed by any other. The PINK line lotions don't quite have the soft silky effect that the Fantasies line do so this is why I gave it 3 lippies. I would buy it again if it were on sale and if the scent persuaded me.

I got this during a sale and to be honest I was a little worried being I had tried another PINK lotion and not liked it. I found this was actually pretty good. The scent is very girly. It is true to its name - sweet and flirty. I found I really liked the girly scent and it was pretty long lasting. The packaging is cute but not very practical. Because of where the pump is it is hard to pour out the very last bit of lotion. The lotion itself is pretty good at moisturizing, but for my extremely dry skin it just is not enough and I found sometimes having to apply it a second time during the day. So I would say this is a good lotion, but unless it is the warmer months it is just not enough moisture for me.

LEXINGTON, Ky. − A team of researchers led by University of Kentucky College of Agriculture Professor Joe Chappell is making a connection from prehistoric times to the present that could result in being able to genetically create a replacement for oil and coal shale deposits. This could have fundamental implications for the future of the earth's energy supply.
Tom Niehaus, completing his doctorate in the Chappell laboratory; Shigeru Okada, a sabbatical professor from the aquatic biosciences department at the University of Tokyo; Tim Devarenne, a UK graduate and now professor of biochemistry and biophysics at Texas A&M University; and UK colleagues, Chappell, David Watt, professor of cellular and molecular biochemistry (College of Medicine) and his post-doctoral associate Vitaliy Sviripa had an important paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Their research findings go well beyond the basic science dealing with the origins of oil and coal.
While scientists previously established that oil and coal have their roots in the organisms that lived on the planet over 500 million years ago, researchers only are sure of one organism that directly contributed to these natural resources. That organism is the algae Botryococcus braunii which left behind its chemical fingerprints an oil that over geological time has turned into oil and coal shale deposits.
"Even more exciting is that this unique algae, B. braunii, still exists today and has been the target of studies from the large chemical and petrochemical industries," said Chappell.
This algae is very slow growing, so it is not necessarily a good source for biofuels. However, if scientists can capture its genetic blueprints for the biosynthesis of these high value oils, then these genes could be used to generate alternative production platforms.
This team of investigators isolated the necessary genes, characterized the bioc

California is Filling Up the Hydrogen Station Map
May 2nd, 2014
The California Energy Commission just announced it is funding 28 new hydrogen refueling stations. These new stations, combined with the nine existing stations and 17 stations already under construction, will give California 54 hydrogen stations open to the public by the end of next year. Building a system of hydrogen filling stations is vital to bringing hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles to California drivers, as you can't use the vehicles without places to refuel. This expanding network of refueling stations will allow the first large-scale introduction of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles in the United States. Read More

Re: Favourite characters from each series
I like it when there are ongoing story arcs, but I think it's a problem when they lose sight of making individual episodes interesting in order to just set up the ongoing story arc. When they do they pretty much force you to marathon the show to enjoy it.
Fortunately, DS9 never did that. Toward the end Lost and Galactica both kind of did. Game of Thrones in a way does, because they try to do five or six different threads in every episode, so the only real way to watch it is to marathon it. I might prefer it if in each episode they focused on a smaller number of threads instead of trying to do every single active story thread in every episode. Parellel storytelling instead of strict chronological storytelling. (How do the books do it? Do they jump around like the show does or they focus each entire chapter on a different thread? The show should do it that way.)

Adidas Honey Hi's trainers - for cosy toes!
Since we confirmed that Uggs were officially fashion suicide we've been on the look out for another comfy casual shoe that will keep our tootsies warm - without sabotaging our style credentials. And we've found just the thing with the Adidas Originals Honey Hi's trainers - their urban style and beige shade means they will add a ghetto edge to our dresses and jeans.
Adidas Honey Hi's trainers - for cosy toes!
But it's their fleece lined interiors that we're really excited about - there's nothing better than cosy toes in winter.
Plus we like to think the 80's sneaker never really went out of style - and never will - so you can depend on these to keep you looking like one cool kid - much more than any Uggs of old.

Another focus on one of the artworks i discovered at the GAMERZ festival in Aix-en-Provence in October...
The Trophies from the 6th Continent are lifeless, plastic 'skins' of computer generated models found in 3D environments. Deflated of any volume nor life, they were hanging in the gallery of the Ecole d'Art of Aix-en-Provence like bloodless carcasses. Cimolaï tracked down these hunting preys on the 'sixth continent', the land of our 3D digital entertainment made of video games, special effects, post-production works, etc.
The concept and result are quite simple. Yet, they are brilliant. The empty plastic parts of vehicles are pitiful and you can't help feeling sorry for these former glories of the screen.
Scroll down if you want to read the original french version of Thomas Cimolaï's answers.
Hi Thomas! I read that the objects you brought into the gallery were originally protected by copyrights. Where did you find these objects? And why do you call them trophies?
The Trophies from the Sixth Continent constitute a fiction collection. The whole process is based on "an adventure story" developed from gestures made with a computer - vision, research, tracking, targeting, intrusion into forbidden territories and capture. The Sixth Continent is the land accessible through screens and through data transmission technology (in this case, internet). The collection includes the debris of computer generated objects found on the web and originally intended for video games and special effects.
Why was it important for you to engage with shapes protected by copy rights?
The attack on copyright is part of the game.
And once you've extracted these objects from their original universe, what remains of their copyright?
I think there's nothing left, just like their shape and their initial state. They are out of order :).
What was the creation process that led from 3D virtual forms to these deflated, miserable bits of flying engines? How did you make them?
I was surfing on the net looking for a hat for a project inspired by the novel The Invisible Man when some objects attracted my attention. Engines belonging to memories of television such as the Iraq war, games or mythical fictions (Airwolf , Platoon, etc.) and that were all destined to simulation in video games and movie post- production. There began a fiction where the challenge was to be the main mode of relationship to my subject. Once the objects had been acquired, I looked for the technical way to understand their construction so that, gradually, I could disassemble their mechanism, as if it were a dissection, an anatomy. Once they had been re-appropriated, I decided to push the craziness further. The objects were pulled out of the screens, their original environment, and I brought them back to the "real" sometimes on a one-to-one scale. By doing so, I could appreciate the availability of their heads, of their wheels and other means of traveling or of their antennas and other detection tools. They were stripped of their power.
I fell really sorry for these objects. Am i slightly deranged or were you expecting these trophies to trigger some emotions in people?
There was absolutely no premeditation to cause emotions. I work with what I have in me, which is a certain way to look at issues related to freedom, to the industrial cultural object and to our relations with digital interfaces. This project embraces the concepts of play and power and also the desire to own. Everything is voluntarily orchestrated with symbolism and a mock-heroic tone.
How do people used to see these objects 'alive' in video games react to the work?
They come not only from video games but also from special effects. The most recognized one is the big black head of the stealth aircraft called F-117 Nighthawk which first appeared in conflicts broadcast on TV and soon after in games Night Storm, Empire Earth or Zero Hour which I have not played. Then, because the collection is partitioned into categories relating to motor, sensory devices.... few people can remember which wheel, radar or reactor belongs to which vehicle. The younger generations tell me that "it's cool" or "that's interesting" and will see the logic of simulation and of video games pushed to their limits.
Merci Thomas!
Version française de l'entretien:
I read that the objects you brought into the gallery were originally protected by copyrights. Where did you find these objects? And why do you call them trophies?
Les trophées du sixième continent constituent une collection fiction. Toute la démarche est basée sur « un récit d'aventure » élaboré à partir des gestes effectués avec un ordinateur - vision, recherche, traque, ciblage, intrusion en territoires défendus et capture. Le sixième continent est le territoire accessible par les écrans et par les technologies de transmissions de données (ici, internet). La collection regroupe des dépouilles d'objets de synthèses trouvés sur la toile et destinés à l'origine aux jeux vidéos et aux effets spéciaux.
Why was it important for you to engage with shapes protected by copyrights?
L'attaque du copyright fait partie du jeu.
And once you've extracted these objects from their original universe, what remains of their copyright?
Je crois qu'il n'en reste rien, comme de leur forme et de leur état initial. Ils sont hors service :).
What was the creation process that led from 3D virtual forms to these deflated, pitiful bits of flying engines? How did you make them?
J'étais sur le net à la recherche d'un chapeau pour un projet inspiré du roman de l'homme invisible quand certains objets ont attirés mon attention. Des engins appartenant à des souvenirs de télévision comme la guerre d'Irak, de jeux ou encore à des fictions mythiques (Supercopter, Platoon...) et qui avaient tous comme destinés la simulation dans des jeux vidéo ou la post-production cinématographique. Une fiction où le défi serait le principal mode de relation à mon sujet commençait. Une fois les objets acquis, j'ai cherché le moyen technique d'en comprendre la construction pour petit à petit en démonter la mécanique, comme une dissection, une anatomie. Une fois réappropriés, je décidais d'aller plus loin dans le délire. Les objets ont été extirpés de leur milieu initial, c'est-à-dire les écrans, et je les ai ramené dans le « réel » parfois à l'échelle un. Ainsi je pouvais apprécier la mise à disposition de leurs têtes, de leurs roues et autres moyens de déplacements ou encore de leurs antennes et autres outils de détection. Ils étaient défaits de leur pouvoir.
I fell really sorry for these objects. Am i slightly deranged or were you expecting these trophies to trigger some emotions in people?
Absolument pas d'émotions à provoquer de manière préméditée. J'ai fonctionné avec ce qui me constitue, c'est à dire un certain regard sur les questions liées à la liberté, à l'objet culturel industriel et à nos relations avec les interfaces numériques. Ce projet embrasse des notions de jeu et de puissance et aussi de désir de possession. Le tout mis volontairement en scène avec du symbolisme et sur un ton heroï-comique.
How do people used to see these objects 'alive' in video games react to the work?
Ils n'appartiennent pas seulement aux jeux vidéos mais aussi aux effets spéciaux. Celui qui est le plus reconnu est la grande tête noire de l'avion furtif dénommé Faucon de nuit - Nightfalcon f117 qui est d'abord apparu dans les conflits retransmis à la télévision puis a rapidement été le sujet des jeux Night Storm, Empire Earth ou encore Heure H auxquels je n'ai pas joué. Ensuite, comme la collection est compartimentée en catégories relatives à la motricité, aux appareils sensitifs..., peu de personnes peuvent se rappeler à quel véhicule appartient telle roue, telle réacteur ou encore tel radar. Les générations plus jeunes me disent que « c'est cool » ou encore « c'est intéressant » et y voient la logique de la simulation et des jeux vidéos poussés à leurs paroxysmes.
Merci Thomas!
The new episode of #A.I.L - artists in laboratories, the weekly radio programme about art and science i present on ResonanceFM, London's favourite radio art station, is aired this Wednesday afternoon at 4pm.
Today's guests are Evan Roth, Becky Stern, Geraldine Juárez and Magnus Eriksson from the Free Art and Technology Lab (F.A.T. Lab), a network of artists, engineers, scientists, lawyers, and musicians who are committed to supporting open values and the public domain through the use of emerging open licenses, support for open entrepreneurship, and the admonishment of secrecy, copyright monopolies, and patents.
Some of the members were at the MU gallery in Eindhoven last week for a F.A.T. Lab retrospective as well as for the launch of THE F.A.T. MANUAL. In this episode, we will be talking about 3D printed guns, Ideas Worth Spreading which allows you to deliver your own pirate TED talk, open culture and how to remove Justin Bieber from your web browsing.
The radio show will be aired this Wednesday 20 November at 16:00, London time. Early risers can catch the repeat next Tuesday at 6.30 am. If you don't live in London, you can listen to the online stream or wait till we upload the episodes on soundcloud.
F.A.T. GOLD Europe. Five Years of Free Art & Technology is at MU in EIndhoven until January 26, 2014. THE F.A.T. MANUAL is on print on demand but you can also download it for free.
Most of us don't really know (nor probably care to know) how "the network" functions, what its structure of communication cables and servers looks like or how, more concretely, our private data travel. Roel Roscam Abbing spent a month at Laboral in Gijón to work on Border Check, a software that lays out the physical and political realities behind the internet.
And i'm sorry to quote him but in this age of reckless online surveillance even Dick Cheney thinks that you never know how much knowledge you're going to need. So maybe a good place to start would be to visualize how our data are moving from place to place (and thus which government can potentially have a look through it) and Border Check enables just that:
As one surfs the net, data packets are sent from the user's computer to the target server. The data packets go on a journey hopping from server to server potentially crossing multiple countries until the packets reach the desired website. In each of the countries that are passed different laws and practices can apply to the data, influencing whether or not authorities can inspect, store or modify that data.
Hi Roel! Border Check (BC) is a browser extension that illustrates the physical and political realities of the internet's infrastructure using free software tools. Why did you think it would be interesting to investigate the travels of data packets?
I stumbled upon this topic when pursuing a personal interest I developed last year as I started with the Networked Media programme at the PZI. I joined this course because my practice has always been engaged with new technologies and the internet. At the same time however, I felt I lacked a lot of knowledge (technical, theoretical) to make statements with and about these media. For one, if someone would have asked me what the internet was, I would not really have had an answer. So one of the first things I started researching while at the PZI was exactly this. What is the internet? It was during the programming courses that I started working with software such as traceroute, which shows you how you connect to servers. Traceroute really fascinated me because suddenly it linked websites to specific machines that could be linked to a company and to a location on the world. This suddenly made the internet very tangible for me.
At the same time while reading up on the history of the internet I realised the difference between how I had previously perceived the internet as a 'cloud', 'wireless', non-physical (which is probably a more common understanding) and the internet as a bunch of physical cables that run through countries and the bottoms of oceans. Tracerouting then became a way to experience this normally invisible infrastructure.
Some of the demo you sent me show the data taking a straight line. In other cases, such as for dilma.com.br, the path is more tortuous. How do you explain this? And is every non-straight path accountable for?
The complexity of the paths has a lot to do with the degree of interconnectivity of the networks. Generally, the better the connection between you and the destination server, the smaller the amount of hops on your travel. So if you see a lot of hops and twisting paths, it is probably because there is no direct connection between you and the destination.
The complexity of the paths can also be the result of certain assumptions embedded in the databases used for the visualisation. One of these assumptions has to do with determining where a machine is located in the world. Sometimes the geographical data tied to a machine's IP address reflects where it's owning company is registered, rather than the actual physical location of the machine. So you might get visualisations where you'd see a line travel back and forth between Europe and the US. Rather than actually travelling back and forth the Atlantic, what happens, is that your travel stays in Europe, yet you get on and off networks owned by US and EU companies. Because of this when using BC it's important to click the hops to reveal the machine names, often they contain more hints of where the machines may be actually located.
In this sense BC's visualisations are sometimes a bit more abstract, showing ownership and jurisdiction rather than the physical location.
How does a particular country's laws and practices regarding data affect the path adopted? Do you have examples?
It is not necessarily the case that a state's laws and practices affect the route, rather that the route determines which states's laws and practices one is exposed to.
The internet is routed passively, that is to say, there is no way you can tell your data how it should reach its destination. The internet is designed in such a way that data will always try to find the fastest route available, and that may happen to take your data through countries like the UK that monitor all passing data.
In this sense the route is often more influenced by geography and money. Geography, because some places such as the the UK's West Coast act as a 'funnel' for submarine cables, since they are the first stop for many of those cables when they cross the Atlantic. Money, because richer countries will also have the faster infrastructures and those get a preference when it comes to routing.
Laws and policies can influence where companies set up their offices and data centres though. Facebook for example serves non-US users from Ireland, because of the low taxes it pays there. However, the fact that Facebook is registered in Ireland also means it has to comply with EU privacy laws. A funny example of what that means concretely is a 2011 'meme' that spawned on reddit where European users flooded Facebook with data requests, something that was not possible for American users of Facebook.
What were the most surprising discoveries you made while testing the data travels?
One of the more interesting things I've realised and which is something that I would like to follow up on is how 'historical' the networks actually are. If you compare maps of the submarine cables that make up contemporary intercontinental fibre optic networks with maps of telegraphy networks of the 19th century you will see a lot of similarities.
However, this historical element also became apparent to me using Border Check when for example I found out that much of Latin America is predominantly connected through the Telefonica network. Telefonica is a very large telecommunications company that resulted from the privatisation of Spain's state telecom company.
In this sense one could argue that a lot of Latin American countries are dependent on the telecommunications infrastructure of their former coloniser. This could lead to clashes of interest. In the case of Brazil this has recently become apparent when, in response to NSA spying, Brazillian president Dilma Rousseff announced plans to build a national Brazilian telecommunications infrastructure. There Rousseff wants to ensure that Brazil no longer needs to route via the United States (that is the Telefonica network) and as a consequence be subjected to American monitoring when it connects with the rest of the world.
How do you retrieve the information necessary to map these travels?
While you run Border Check it uses your browser history in order to detect whether you are loading a new website. It then relies on Layer Four Traceroute, which is a tracerouting software, to map the ip addresses of the machines that route your data on it's way to that destination website. Border Check then uses Maxmind's free GeoIP databases to link these adresses to cities, countries and companies. Maxmind to some extent gets this information from repositories of internet registries (organisations that keep track of who registers what website, who owns a certain ip-adress etc). For visualisation Border Check uses Openstreetmap with the leaflet visualisation library.
What's next for BC?
I am really interested in adding more information layers to Border Check that provide some more context on what it could mean when one surfs through a specific country. One of the initiatives I find exciting is www.diriwa.org. It tries to collaboratively map communications and informations rights in the world. I think adding this sort of information will make Border Check much richer. Other than that, releasing updates that would make the software more easy to install and run on different platforms.
Thanks Roel!
Border Check was sponsored by V2_ and developed during a residency at LABoral, within the context of Summer Sessions 2013.
The new episode of #A.I.L - artists in laboratories, the weekly radio programme about art and science i present on ResonanceFM, London's favourite radio art station, is aired this Wednesday afternoon at 4pm.
My guest tomorrow will be Erica Scourti. Erica is an artist/film-maker who's studying MRes: Moving Image Art at Central St Martins, run in conjunction with LUX. Her work uses autobiographical source material, as well as texts found on the internet to explore the mediation of personal and collective experience through language and technology in the net-worked regime of contemporary culture. Which means that tomorrow the episode will focus on online language and communication, algorithms, forms of mediated intimacy, and distributed art works. Amongst others!
A few years ago, every day, for over 10 months, Erica wrote and emailed her own diary to her Gmail account and copied the list of suggested keywords linking to clusters of relevant ads. After that, she spoke the text to webcam, creating daily portraits of her life as understood and translated by Google's algorithms. WIth another project, Woman Nature Alone, she hijacked the process by which Google's algorithms organize the hierarchy of online visibility. Erica used titles taken from stock video sites corresponding to the key words 'woman', 'nature' and 'alone' as the starting point for a series of films that show her performing each action described in the title. The video and title were then uploaded to YouTube, forming a collection of 'rushes'. After that the online works started a life of their own...
The show will be aired this Wednesday 25th of September at 16:00, London time. Early risers can catch the repeat next Tuesday at 6.30 am (I know...) If you don't live in London, you can listen to the online stream or wait till we upload the episodes on soundcloud.
Anti-Media. Ephemera on Speculative Arts, by researcher and theorist Florian Cramer.
Soon available on amazon USA and UK.
Publisher NAI Booksellers writes: Literature written in the style of computer code, electro-acoustic compositions with newly created sounds, but also subcultures with clearly identifiable manifestations, from Internet porn to neo-Nazis and anti-copyright activists: high-, low- and subculture have long been impossible to distinguish, including in the degree of their self-reference. Art and media criticism focuses mainly on the concepts, not on the objects themselves. In Anti-Media Florian Cramer shows, through a close reading of cultural expressions and analysis of media and art criticism, how these constantly refer to their tradition, language and medium while trying to subvert them.
I've never reviewed nor even read anything that looked remotely like this book before. It is bold, thought-provoking, and extremely fast-paced.
Cramer makes fearless statements about interactivity, pop music, social hacking (that one was a fun chapter), 'openness' and many concepts and ideas that we brandish without much thoughts as if they were magical formulas. While reading his book, however, i realized once again that our writings, works and discussions rely on cultural terms which precise meaning, extent, impacts, and limits we often take for granted.
Nothing and no one (not even Rocco Siffredi) is safe from Cramer's sharp questioning and ruminating. You will either embrace his reflections or disagree with them entirely, but a heated debate with this kind of book would, i think, constitute a valuable exercise for the critical minds.
Image on the homepage: 01.org (Eva and Franco Mattes), Nikeground, one of the work discussed in the book.
A few weeks ago, Sight and Sound, a festival produced by Eastern Bloc in Montreal, ran a workshop titled Analyze Dat: TOR Visualization. Headed by someone who presents himself (or herself) as Arthur Heist, the description of the workshop suggested an internet driven by secrecy.
This workshop explored the use of natural language processing tools to analyze the goods, products and services available on online black markets, trying to reveal a faithful cartography of the dark web.
The workshop will begin with an introduction of the tools involved in accessing the Internet's black markets (Tor bundle, Bitcoins). Participants will then process these webpages to extract information from natural language to draw a map of hidden services. These tools allow the user to go from simple word frequency analysis (i.e. cloud tags) to more complex semantic comparison and statistical relationships between those networks. The goal is to be able to visualize this data in order to get a better understanding of the inner, deep feelings society keeps hidden.
I knew about the stateless, encrypted online Bitcoin currency of course, i had heard of the Tor software that enables online anonymity but other than that, i felt that there was precious little i knew about the Deep Web, the vast submersed side of the World Wide Web that countless people are using in perfect anonymity every day to buy goods that neither ebay nor amazon will ever sell you and to exchange services that won't appear when you do a google search.
The more i looked into Tor and the many activities it enabled, the more intrigued i was. I thought that the easiest and fastest way to get a better understanding of the issue would be to interview Arthur Heist:
HI Arthur! How much can one discover about this underground economy ?
It is quite easy to find out about any good or hidden service available on the dark web. One just needs to know the first entry point that keeps track of these peculiar services.
Do you have to be a seasoned hacker, a super smart programmer or can any web user make interesting enough discoveries ?
The first pit stop is to go to the Tor project website and install the Tor browser for your operating system. Once installed, you can launch Tor browser and access any website anonymously. So, no need to be either a hacker or programmer to begin browsing the hidden web. A popular place where a lot hidden services are listed is "The Hidden Wiki". From there, you can even find search engines that specifically target onion websites (those with an cabalistic URL).
And how did you find about it in the first place ?
As a user, I had been using Tor for a few years to enhance my anonymity online. I like the fact that it allows you to bypass some restrictions applied unfairly by companies who want to protects their assets. In a way, Tor gives us back the net neutrality some companies or governments want to put at risk. Concerning the dark web more specifically, this whole economy emerged more recently as a result of the emergence of bitcoin currency approximately 4 years ago. Even though I did not get interested in bitcoin specifically, I was more fascinated by the whole range of services and activities made available by these new technologies.
Deep web, Silk Road, etc. Do you feel that the general public is quite unaware of the existence of this less visible part of the web ?
From a general point of view, I have never thought that the internet was much different or more dangerous than what we can experience in the real world. Let's say you are going to Toronto for the first time and you want to buy some crack cocaïne, where do you go? Who do you get in contact with? In the same manner, if you want to find illegal services on the web, it takes the same effort to know about them.
The general public has been fed what commercial companies want them to know. They have their minds locked in a narrow place for them to consume more easily, in the same way they'd go to Starbucks instead of the local coffee shop because it's not advertised on the same scale.
Were the participants like me, attracted by the description of the workshop but totally unaware of what it entailed? Or did they come prepared and knowing what they would be looking for ?
The nice thing about the participants was that they represented in their interests the whole range of topics discussed during the workshop. Some were more interested in the political issues involved, some more in the use of natural language tools. Most of them had already installed Tor on their computers.
How exactly does this online black market reflect the traditional offline black market ?
As stated above, there are no major differences between what you can find through online or offline black markets. And as a matter of fact, in the offline black market, anonymity is also the rule, going from changing your real name to wearing disguises so as not to be recognized. The main added value that the online black market allows for is the possibility to connect dealers and customers that would not have met otherwise in real life, which is also the main characteristic of online services in general too.
Does it allow for other types of transactions, activities, exchanges of goods and services?
Of course, anonymity brings a wide range of activities that you would not be able to find if it weren't anonymous. Among things you can find through hidden services are the scary contract killers who offer to kill someone, whose prices are set depending on the popularity of the person to kill. A funnier website called Tor University offers you to write any assignment or essay you need to get better grades. Another website offers to set up pranks to your friends; for example, by breaking into their house with a fully equipped SWAT team ...
I read that law enforcement agencies were struggling to deal with online black market. Why is it even more difficult to grasp and fight than, say, traditional drug traffic?
Because of the inner nature or how Tor works, by encrypting the communications being sent, all along the way through each relay (except for the last one), it is not easily possible to track down one specific user or website. Nevertheless, one famous hack was made possible on the Tor network by setting up a few Tor routers, which all relay a lot of information. Most of it is encrypted, but when the router is chosen (by the algorithm itself) to act as the last relay, then the data being transited is sent in the clear. So, if you set up your own relay, you are able to log all data transiting on your node, and thus retrieve information people have not encrypted before sending it through the Tor network. Tor network offers anonymity, not confidentiality! I read there also were some rumors that US governmental agencies may possibly run fake drug websites, so as to be able to get an alarm when some user was buying a too large amount of drugs for it to be his personal consumption.
Can the dark web (the way it operates, protects itself, etc.) teach innocent users of the internet (like me) anything ?
Blatantly, recent news about the US Prism program shows us again that giving up your personal data into the hands of big internet companies is like leaving your luggage in your hotel lobby: how trustworthy is it, you can never be sure it won't be stolen or searched by anyone. And what the Tor network (and as an extension, bitcoins) achieves is the possibility to give us back the power to build the internet as it should, free and open. Of course, mass media like to make us think the use of these tools is evil and unsafe, whereas it is indeed the safest thing to do.
What did the participants achieve during the workshop ?
The workshop was more about awareness, discussion and showing how these various tools work and how to use them in your own practice.
Thanks Arthur!

Hypothetical models of chilling stress transcriptional regulatory network. (A) phase-1 clusters; (B) phase-2 and phase-3 clusters. Models were based on integrative analysis of temporal co-expression, promoter motif enrichment and responses to oxidative mimic (see Figures 6 and 7). Each expression cluster is connected with all possible transcriptional regulator(s) based on coordinate expression patterns and over-representation of the target cis-elements associated with that class of transcription factor. Heavy green line represents the primary regulatory mechanism (most enriched elements). Solid black and dotted gray lines represent secondary and tertiary regulatory mechanisms, respectively.

Five Tips from Experts for a Successful Business
Running a business can be rewarding but also overwhelming. There are certain things you need to do at certain times, and you can't miss the deadlines. Those are extremely important, especially when talking about finances and capital. In addition, success is different for each person, as each one is different.
Paying attention to small details can make a difference in the way you run your business, as this can help you be successful or not. Here are 5 things that you definitely need to implement in the way you run your business.
Your customers are your guests
Consider that your customers are your friends, and when friends come to visit you at your house, you treat them with care and respect. This is how you should also treat your customers. It won't matter if they are in a hurry of they seem less interested in what you offer. A smile and respect can make the difference in the way they perceive your business. Think that every person has his or her own problems – if you smile at them, you already silently say that you are trying to understand them and respect them. Give it a try and see how that works in a usual day. You will be amazed by the results.
Professional Organizations
It's no secret what the specialists recommend – you need to be part in at least 3 professional organizations. This will show your customers that you can be trusted and you are also serious in your line of work. You can contact the Chamber of Commerce, and see to belong to the local office. Apart from this, think about the business association from your city – you live there, you run your business there and also your employees are from there. The third thing that you need to check on the list is the industry trade association.
The E-Commerce
Go online and make yourself and your business available for other people. It won't matter exactly what you are selling, because most of the businesses have moved to the online environment. Your presence is necessary there, as that is the new place where business is run. E-commerce is adequate for any kind of business, especially a small business or a new one.
Don't think that it's hard to set up an online store. There are many free tutorials over the internet, but also free tools to help you set your own online store. If you can't finish it alone, ask for help from a professional website designer and your store will be ready in no time.
It was proven by statistics that people like buying products sold for a good cause, based on the coffee machines perth campaign in 2013. It is actually a new market strategy and it works in a usual brick and mortar store, but it also works in the online environment. It's easy once you get the hang of it, and all you have to do is to combine the business with the charity that you have chosen. This way, not only you will get more attention from your customers, but you will also increase the sales.
Keep Your Eyes Open
Last, but not least, you need to be open to different possibilities. This doesn't mean that you have to jump in at any opportunity that arises. This solely means that you need to thoroughly analyze what comes in your direction and see if there is the possibility to invest something and make some profit out of it. Never take decisions before discussing with your advisor, because otherwise you could loose time and also money.
You can't start such a journey all by yourself – you need people who can advise you properly and offer you competent guidance. For all this and more, look out for us at Powerzoa.com!


text: drought Drought in the West takes a bite out of Michigan burger budgets By Stateside Staff • Oct 22, 2014 Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger Listen Listening... / 2:47 We've seen the images of the ferocious drought in the West. In Michigan, that drought has affected beef prices, which have skyrocketed upwards of 34%, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Rick Magner, who owns Ann Arbor's iconic Blimpy Burger, says he's seen beef prices rise 40 cents in the last month. Magner says he had to raise the price of a burger from $2.44 two years ago to the current $3.49. Magner says so far customers haven't really complained about the increased price of burgers, and he isn't worried about raising prices again, saying, "eventually it'll level out." Summer drought causes hay shortage in Michigan By The Associated Press • Nov 24, 2012 HOWELL, Mich. (AP) - A long summer drought has caused a shortage of hay in Michigan and sent prices skyrocketing.The Detroit News reports Saturday that as a result, farmers, rescue groups and private owners throughout the state are struggling to feed their stocks, cutting budgets, turning to outside help and even leaving Michigan to purchase hay.Cindy Ashley is the barn manager at Horses' Haven, a Howell-based nonprofit group that cares for aged, abused, rescued and neglected animals. USDA responds to spreading drought with more help for farmers By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jul 25, 2012 USDA / USDA Today, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack declared four additional Michigan counties natural disaster areas due to continuing dry conditions. Branch, Cass, Hillsdale, and St. Joseph counties have all joined the list. This brings the number of counties experiencing drought up to 38 in Michigan, and 1,234 nationally, as counted during the 2012 crop year. Michigan's community water systems flowing despite drought By Steve Carmody • Jul 19, 2012 Michigan's municipal water systems appear to be holding up well as a mild drought increases demand for water. The drought is most acute in southern parts of Michigan. Michigan's drought is growing worse By Steve Carmody • Jul 14, 2012 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Look at any of the scorched lawns in Michigan, and you can see the state is in the grip of a drought. And the grip is tightening.

Myanmar's pro-democracy opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said on Tuesday that she supported the easing of U.S. sanctions on the Southeast Asian nation even though democratic reforms in her country had only cleared the first hurdle.
"I do not think that we need to cling onto sanctions unnecessarily," Mrs. Suu Kyi said at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington.
"I do support the easing of sanctions because I think that our people should start taking responsibility for their own destiny," she added. "I do not think that we should depend on U.S. sanctions to keep up the momentum of our movement toward democracy. We have got to work at it ourselves."
Mrs. Suu Kyi said there was no evidence that the sanctions had hurt Myanmar economically, but they have had a great political impact.
"The fact that so many people tried to blame sanctions for the economic ills of the country fully proves how potent it was as a weapon, not that it hurt us economically," she said.
The International Monetary Fund found that international sanctions had a very little economic impact on Myanmar, the Asian nation formerly known as Burma.
The Obama administration is considering easing a ban on imports from Myanmar. It has mostly waived financial restrictions, paving the way for U.S. businesses to invest there.
In July, the Obama administration sent diplomat Derek Mitchell to Myanmar as the first U.S. ambassador in two decades.
Mrs. Suu Kyi, a former political prisoner and Nobel Peace Prize winner, arrived in Washington on Monday to start an 18-day visit to the United States, her first in four decades. She is due to receive Congress' highest honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, on Wednesday.
In her speech Tuesday, she said that her country is still a long way from true democratic change.
"We have crossed the first hurdle, but there are many more hurdles to cross," she said in her first public appearance of her visit.
Earlier on Tuesday, Mrs. Suu Kyi met with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the State Department.
Mrs. Clinton, who also spoke at the Washington think tank, did not mention the remaining sanctions on Myanmar.
The military-backed government allowed Mrs. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy to participate in parliamentary elections on April 1. It won 43 of the 44 seats it contested. Mrs. Suu Kyi, who had spent 15 of the past 20 years in prison or under house arrest when she was released in November 2010, is now a member of parliament.
In the past year, the government has released hundreds of prisoners of conscience, but more than 200 remain behind bars. It has legalized political parties and eased restrictions on the media. The government has also passed laws to strengthen workers' rights.

Chad Johnson's life just keeps getting better.
While most of us choose to spread holiday joy on Christmas Day, some unknown party decided to disseminate a Chad Johnson sex tape instead.
Chad Johnson's life just keeps getting better.
While most of us choose to spread holiday joy on Christmas Day, some unknown party decided to disseminate a Chad Johnson sex tape instead.
Evelyn Lozada will not seek to extend the restraining order barring Chad Johnson from contacting her, according to reports. She just wants to move on.
Chad Johnson just cut a deal to keep his unemployed a$$ out of jail.
The former NFL star was arrested for domestic violence after head-butting Evelyn Lozada during an argument, but he's agreed to be placed on probation and complete extensive anger management counseling in exchange for a guilty or no contest plea.
Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada's marriage is over, officially. Already. They signed divorce papers and that was that. The married in a lavish ceremony July 4. This year.
A Florida judge signed the couple's papers early this morning.
After initially refusing to go along with Evelyn Lozada's efforts to divorce him, former NFL star Chad Johnson is finally accepting that his marriage is over.
He, too, has filed paperwork, citing the union as "irretrievably broken."
Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson has pleaded not guilty to the charge of battery stemming from his alleged attack on Evelyn Lozada. He was formally charged yesterday.
Ocho entered a "not guilty" plea in court this morning.
Chad Johnson has been formally charged with battery following his alleged attack on Evelyn Lozada last month. He faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
The former Ochocinco was arrested for domestic violence in Florida after a fight over a condom receipt allegedly got violent and he head-butted his wife.
It's not exactly a foolproof plan, but Chad Johnson is determined to make his marriage to Evelyn Lozada last by refusing to sign the divorce papers she filed.
Evelyn filed for divorce just 41 days after they wed and three days after Chad head-butted her (allegedly) during an epic argument over a condom receipt.

Lindajoy Storer, with mom Helen Kunz, holds a photo of dad, Malcolm, who recently died.
- Filed Under
Over a lifetime of ups and downs, Lyndajoy Storer has learned flexibility is key not only in relieving stress, but in finding happiness.
She's a yoga instructor. The leader of a boomer-focused caregiver support group. A marketing professional. And not least of all, she was the main caregiver for her father, Malcolm Kunz, until he passed away in November at 92.
One of the things Storer has learned: When you can't do what you've always done for the holidays, it's helpful to talk about your needs.
"It's just my mother and me, so if we were to stay home on Christmas, there's that big empty chair of my father's," said Storer, a Melbourne Beach resident who's now taking care of her mother, Helen Kunz.
"I asked her, 'What is it that's important to you about the holidays?' and she said, 'That we're together.' But I thought it would be nicer, rather than going out to dinner, to be with other people who care about us."
So tomorrow, Storer and her mom will dine in Orlando with the family of Storer's husband, who died on Christmas Day several years ago.
When one's own needs aren't being met, Storer said, "it becomes harder to take care of other people. ... As caregivers, we feel like we're always supposed to be loving, kind and patient. But we're human ... I tell my mother that if she wants me to be a loving daughter, she needs to acknowledge that I have outside needs."

I know that I don't have to.Date published: 2015-03-14Rated 5 out of 5 by yaardworker from NO MORE FLAT TIRE ! This wheel was an almost exact swap-out for my old one which no longer would hold air. I had to file down the axle guides about 1/4". It even has a grease fitting.It looks to be good quality.Date published: 2015-03-05Rated 4 out of 5 by LuckyStrike from Order was received very quickly. Installed the No-Flat wheelbarrow tires immediately. The zerk grease fitting on the wheels is very small and my standard grease gun connector will not snap on to these fittings. I guess I have to go to the local auto parts store and try to find a smaller fitting for the end of my grease gun to successfully grease the wheels / bearings.Date published: 2014-11-26Rated 5 out of 5 by THOMAS from Bought one a year ago for my wheel barrow, and it worked perfectly. This time around I bought two for my lawn mower trailer. They are the same size, but have different offsets than the original. I made a new axle and swapped the bushings over from the originals. They work very well.Date published: 2014-06-22Rated 5 out of 5 by ROGER C from Just what I needed for my oxyacetylene cart!Date published: 2014-06-02Rated 1 out of 5 by BRIAN from The item looked like it had been dropped and had a dent in the rim. This couldn't have happened in shipment since there wasn't anything in the box that could have made that dent and the box was in good condition. The grease fitting was also damaged and was of a type that I have never seen...very small. Since this is on a wheel barrow that is rarely used and replacing a wheel that didn't have a grease fitting I just chose to keep it rather than pay the return shipping.Date published: 2014-04-20Rated 5 out of 5 by CHAD from no complaints whatsoever!Date published: 2014-03-23

 If it comes with an extra set of 5/8" bearings does it currently have 1/2" axle bore diameter?

Reverse phase protein microarrays designed for targeted therapies in cancer holds promise in the global biochip market in the next 5-10 years. These microarrays provide increased accuracy and enhanced efficacy for the detection of rare molecules as compared to existing microarray surfaces for cancer research & diagnosis to help understand the proteins in tumor cells. Thus, they have helped open the avenues for personalized methods for cancer therapy.
The market of Asia will account for a bulk of the future biochip market growth due to its high growth potential and huge demand from emerging economies such as India and China - the large pool of heterogeneous patient population, and increasing R&D investment in these countries. The top players in the biochip market such as Affymetrix, Inc., Illumina, Inc., and Fluidigm Corporation have relocated their manufacturing base to Singapore to take advantage of the benefits the country offers; coupled with rising demand from neighboring countries of Asia. The players also benefit from a well-established semiconductor manufacturing base including chip technologies. Singapore has made focused efforts to attract life sciences corporates with dedicated investments accounting for 3% of the country's GDP. It came up with its R&D center - Singapore's Biopolis R&D center in 2003-2004 and is home to the Genome Institute of Singapore.
Scope of the report
This research report categorizes the global biochips market on the basis of applications, types, and geography; forecasting revenues and analyzing trends in each of the following submarkets:
On the basis of applications:
