For those who don't like the bulk of a full-sized tank bag sitting on the front of their BMW F800, 700, or 650GS twin, but still want to have the convenient storage for small items and a map holder, the Touratech low profile tank bag is the perfect piece of luggage for any kind of touring.

I have one of these. It's awesome, very small on my keychain, and practically bulletproof. I have it on a quick release from Harbor Freight which makes it super convenient so I don't have to hang my entire keychain off of a computer. I certainly prefer this style over the swivel or Lacie's "Key" style, as those have exposed contacts that can be easily damaged.
I have the 16GB version of this. It's very solid, and an extremely cool-looking flash drive, but be warned, these are RIDICULOUSLY slow. The fastest write speeds I've ever gotten out of these (sustained writing speed anyway) is like 4MB/s.
I really love how they look, but I have flash drives from 5 years ago that are faster.
I have several of theses - 16 gb on my keys but majority of the 8 gb ones are on the back of older servers zipped tied on running vmware esxi. Never an issue - these drives are reliable and tough.
Currently OOS.

Edison children left to suffer
February 17, 2013
To the editor: Once again, thank you Edison Local voters. Oh, and my children also thank yo....
Let me see: Election results..only 1593 voted for the levy and 2074 against. If you have 2200 children in the district, that's about 3000 voter parents because of single moms and two children. If you have 236 workers for the district, that's about 400 voter workers. Forget about the school board members and their spouses. Forget about uncle and aunts and volunteer coaches and their spouses. Forget about the HS seniors who are over 18 and can vote. This adds up to about min. 3400 votes. Therefore: 1593 who voted for the levy is less than half of all those associated with the district. SOOOO...Who is to blame for the children suffering. If one parent of each child would have voted for the levy, that would have been at least 2000 yes votes instead of 1593.

Furthermore, I believe that educators have failed children. I had 4 good teachers in my time at Edison. People like them are worth keeping. I also would wager my last dollar that they'd understand that some things are necessary, even if it means that theeir co-workers will be laid off.

responsible not voting for school levies is one of the few ways I have to insure MY quality of life in the future. If you want a quality educationfor your children, home school, send them to private school, or try to get some other source of funding that doesn't pick the the pockets of property owners, who in this area are are mostly retirees and older.

Ms Marsh I am retired and living on a fixed income. I just recently qualified for The Homestead Act exemption. My tax bill this Dec. I got a reduction of property tax of around 140 dollars, but the tax increased by approximately 120 dollars. I netted 40 dollars reduction. If the levy had passed I would see an increase of approximately another 200 dollars. Thus I would paying 160 more dollars semi annually. I do ok with my retirement and SS now but in 10 years what I receive wont be so great. I see property taxes to continue to increase, and my income being eat up by inflation. While we are told our SS benefits will be safe what we are not told is that Odunbo wants to pass laws that would recalculate the way the cost of living will be calculated making the raises nonexistence or very small. 1to2 billion a year not going to SS but bums that do not work and vote for a living instead of working for it. Other than voting for County. Commissioners that are more fiscal responsibl

Ms. Marsh, If you want to know why so many are interested in gun control, look where you live. Most people in the Edison district have firearms and therefore it is a concern for most. Not everyone owns property. In a perfect world, non property owners would not be allowed to vote on such issues but it is what it is and the people have spoken. They do not want, cannot afford, or simply do not want to pay more in taxes. How about donating more money to the district voulentarily since you care so much.

In this week's edition of the PDC Countdown (only 66 days to go), Mike and Jennifer host the marketing manager of the conference who talks about all of the great opportunities to
win, win, win! Trips to LA, tickets to the Dodgers or Lakers, a movie premiere, or a trip down the red carpet at the Emmy's could be yours. Or you could design the PDC t-shirt that will be handed
out to thousands of attendees!! Wow, you could go down in PDC history if you're the winner! Plus, I suppose we also need to talk about content and sessions . . . . so in a double whammy line-up, the creative director of the PDC appears on the show to discuss
the new Agenda Builder and My Sessions user experience on the PDC web site. So much to talk about, so little time! And there's also Mike's Hard Hat Challenge – can you solve it in 6 hours
or less? On your marks, get set, go!
Oops, something didn't work.
I'm excited to see how our viewers attack this week's Hard Hat Challenge. I've dialed-up the difficulty level a bit in the hopes that it might take longer than 6 hours to solve. But, it is a challenge, and if someone solves it within 6 hours, I'll be seriously impressed. I hope I didn't make it too difficult.
Good luck!
DukeNukem...this isn't something that anyone is likely to guess, and no, that is not the correct answer. It is more difficult than the prior challenges, and I'll be very interested to hear how the eventual winner solved it.
I hope this helps!
I have worked out how to solve the problem. I do not have the solution yet but I'm very close and will post it as soon as I am finished.
Edit 1: It turns out I was on the right track but was beaten to the final solution. Continue reading the thread for further clarification.
If anyone has not yet solved the problem and would like to do so without external input then do not read this post as it contains some discussion of the method used to obtain the solution.
ThomasScheidegger, having read your solution I am very impressed. I too started to work on it after reading the additional hints posted and quickly recognised the use of Huffman coding in the problem (the mention of 'a paper from 1952' really gave this part away). I also assumed that Wingdings had been used to mask the characters used in the message (admittedly, this was a guess).
Contrary to your method however, I attempted to manually draw the Huffman tree and it's here were it all went horribly wrong for me. With the tree that I obtained the binary code did not lead me to the first message that you received from your program, and therefore I also did not get the second message and ultimate solution.
I really thought I had it solved when I realised the link between the Huffman coding, the Wingdings obfuscation and the binary, hence the earlier post that I made out of sheer excitement. Well done mswanson on creating such a difficult problem. You should refer it to Microsoft's human resources department as an interview question for potential employees.
ThomasScheidegger...I am seriously impressed! I dialed this one up pretty high, and I wondered if someone would be able to decode it. You have earned some major geek points in my book. Thanks for posting your solution...I enjoyed reading it. Of the
Challenges posted so far, this is easily the most difficult. Please send us an e-mail at pdccount (at) microsoft.com, and we'll coordinate your very limited edition internal PDC2008 t-shirt.
If you're curious, I took a photo of the manual Huffman coding tree I created a few nights back to ensure I hadn't made a mistake. Leaf nodes can be identified with a character on top and the frequency on the bottom.

I am looking for a new laptop that I would like to be a bit polyvalent. However, I will use it mainly for research work (programming, mathematica/matlab/python, heavy files analysis) and up to now, I considered to continue to use Ubuntu which fulfill all my work tasks except presentation stuffs (Openoffice/libreoffice is definitively NOT as better as Powerpoint, so I had to install a windows virtual box). I usually do not play on Linux, I reserve this to Windows.
I have made a selection of laptop, including the possibility to switch to Macbook Pro. I absolutely want a matt screen (not glossy) My preference is going to Asus N55SF-S2190V with Optimus and Sony Vaio SE1V9E (AMD Radeon HD 6630M) and they have this Hybrid system for the graphic card.
My questions:
- Concerning the Vaio serie S with the AMD Radeon HD 6630M, is there also the same problem with Ubuntu as with the Optimus system ?
- One of the solution that I see is that I will not use probably the nVidia/AMD graphic card for the my work, i will use it for game under windows. After the installation of Ubuntu, which card is detected : the Intel or the NVidia/AMD ? I am thinking to have the dual boot and use the Intel graphic card on Linux and the other one while I am under Windows for playing game/video etc..
- Does the discrete graphic card nVidia/AMD consume power when it is not used under Ubuntu (without installing Bumblebee)
- Then, once Bumblebee is installed, how goes the autonomy ? I imagine that the automony is going down while switching on the dedicated card, but what about when it is switched off, ie when ubuntu uses only the Intel graphics card with Bumblebee?
I am not against to write command lines in the terminal but I am not a linux expert, I use it for my work because it is really practical and free.
Thank you in advance.

This was my first "New Bow Tie" after my "re-entry" into wearing bow ties; using a couple of my own "vintage" ones. I received so many compliments and smiles with the older ones; that I wanted to try a new one. I got the same reactions. So it became the "first of many" that I now have from Beau Ties of Vermont :)

|Location: Mebane, NC United States
I greatly anticipated the arrival of my first bow. Once it arrived, it did not disappoint. This is a beautiful tie that can go with many different outfits, in many situations (casual to formal). What surprised me most was how comfortable it was around my neck. I had previously only wore neck ties (and that clip-on that I wore in high school band), which are not nearly as comfortable. I hardly notice this when I am wearing it. I highly recommend this tie.

I selected the Blenheim bow tie primarily for the reason it's the bow tie usually associated with Winston Churchill. Once you master the art of tying the bow tie you'll find people stop and ask, did you tie that yourself? You'll find the enclosed 'how to tie the bow tie' visual aid very helpful. The compliments are many and the bow tie seems to transport one back in time when a gentleman had a choice in making a fashion statement, or just follow the sheep. With the colors, and variety of styles available at Beau Ties Ltd. you can find a bow tie that creates your own personal style. People will notice the difference!

Beautiful tie. Very classy (or as my wife would say, "sexy"). A woven dot would be very nice, but I like this fabric very much as-is. I would, perhaps, prefer it to have a thicker lining to make it a more substantial tie, but the lack of bulk does enhance the streamlined elegance of the tie. A "heavy Blenheim" might be a great tie; A thicker, bulkier tie with woven dots. That would be a winner in my book.

I own several of these -- diamond point and standard shapes. I'm an admirer of both bowties and Winston Churchill, so this is a natural. I have so many because I wear this pattern frequently, and don't want to wear out any one tie. I especially wear one on those days I need a little extra "oomph" in my day -- I am reminded of Churchill's stubborn defiance in the face of overwhelming odds, and I feel a little stronger myself.

A great tie, a must have style for any real bow tie guy. It would be nice if this tie was made from a heavier material. This tie ties to too small a knot because the material is a little too light. * I own about 50 bow ties and half are from Beau Ties LTD.

|Decent, but thin
|Posted By: Ian Henderson
|Location: Calgary, AB Canada
Having heard good things about Beau Ties from others, I thought I'd give it a try. Decent material and construction, but the tie seems Very thin and insubstantial compared to ties I've bought elsewhere; I suspect there is little or no lining. The material is certainly not "luxury" silk, but more utilitarian ... not necessarily a bad thing, as it needs to survive being repeatedly tied and untied. Unfortunately, when knotted properly, the tie makes a very small knot, which is not to my liking. If, however, that is the look you seek, you will be happy enough.

|Blenheim, Jumbo
|Posted By: Taher Ahmadi
|Location: San Jose, CA United States
It is an absolutely fine, very neat bow tie with a outstanding pattern, yet sufficiently quiet and classic. The fabric itself, being a silk twill, has the delicacy and elegance, while much more durable than a woven silk-whose fragility is its natural characteristic. I think the jumbo size that I have chosen is quite normal, though if it were in standard size, it would have suited me as well.

The Blenheim is a classic navy-with-white polka dots tie. I purchased the batwing version and I'm very pleased with it. The silk feels good in the hand and the tie ties up nicely. As Beau Ties ties don't appear to have a very thick lining, it is possible to over-tighten the tie and wind up with too small a knot. That caution aside, this is an excellent tie and a great value!

I have taken to wearing Bow Ties exclusively. I should saw BEAU Ties, because 23 of my 25 bow ties are from you. I always wanted to get a Blenheim and a matching pocket square but I always found too many others I wanted. I finally bought those two items I wanted and I was not sorry. They are as wonderful as all my Beau ties. The first time I wore them I got may compliments. Thanks to you all.

I've heard that some newer DSLRs have a "Quiet" mode that reduces the noise the camera makes when you take a picture (as mentioned in answers to some questions) How does it work? Are there any potential consequences from using this mode, like a reduced shutter life?
Quiet mode slows down the motion of the mirror when it goes up and delays it going back down until the shutter-release is released.
Normally the mirror going up and down is the loudest noise the camera makes. So slowing it down causes a longer shutter-lag but makes less noise. Also, the mirror normally comes back down immediately after a shot is taken so that you can follow action and compose the next shot. In Quiet mode, the mirror stays up and your viewfinder remains black until you release the shutter at a time when noise is less disruptive.
Shutter life is not affected at all since nothing changes for the shutter. The mirror actuation mechanism should last a little longer but no data to that effect is provided by manufacturers.
An additional note on noise reduction (of the audible kind), if you really want to eliminate it use either a blimp or a range finder camera.

I have around 100 shapefiles of contours (1m interval) that I need to turn into DEMs; Is there a way to batch create these mde from contour lines? Using open source preferably.
Yes, you can do that in GRASS GIS: patch them together with v.patch (or use ogr2ogr on the SHAPE file before importing them into GRASS with v.in.ogr), then use your preferred algorithm from http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Contour_lines_to_DEM
Important: combine the maps before generating the DEM from it to avoid artefacts at the tile borders.
You can use the SAGA CMD tools, which let you process shapefiles and get interpolated DEMs in a batch mode, both on Linux and Windows. Shapefiles are accessed by default in SAGA, and as interpolators, you have the possibility to choose from several spline algorithms or TIN. The DEM will be saved in SAGA format (.sgrd), but after you can export it to .asc or any other GDAL supportable format. Also in GRASS you can do the job, by creating a .sh scripts. You can use a for each code.

Can I paste JSON data objects directly into Architect to quickly create data stores?
I have an existing web service that is providing many types of Json responses to Ajax requests.
We can get this working with Sencha without problem.
However, when I try paste this pre-generated JSON data into Architect (so that I can work with local data files), it does not let me. It seemed like the json data area was read only.
Is this possible?
How can I do this?
Many Thanks - this will be a huge time saver (we have about 80 data stores).

Great. Thank you.

I also found the over-ride, which I guess we can use when other parts of the model etc are already coded elsewhere.

Suppose I have a convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which I know has few vertices (in the case which prompted this question, I seem to have a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^9$ which has sixteen vertices). Is there some constructive way to enumerate the possibilities? If the polytope has $k$ vertices, is there some not-too-horrible upper bound on the number of possibilities?
By Gale duality, the possible arrangements of $16$ points in $\mathbb{R}^9$ are in bijection with the arrangements of $16$ points in $\mathbb{R}^5$. See Ziegler, Lectures on Polytopes, Chapter 6 for background on this. In particular, Corollary 6.20 in Ziegler tells you which configurations of 16 points in $\mathbb{R}^5$ are Gale dual to vertices of polytopes.
I don't think you are going to find a listing of all possible combinatorial types of $16$ points in $\mathbb{R}^5$ anywhere. The Oriented Matroid database is collecting this sort of data but, as you can see, the number of isomorphism classes of even 9 points in $\mathbb{R}^5$ is already listed as "unknown".
In short, there are tools to analyze this sort of thing, namely Gale duality and oriented matroids, but a complete list is likely to be out of reach.
It is very difficult to enumerate the combinatorial types of d-dimensional polytopes with n=d+r vertices when d>3 or when r>3. It is also difficult to give good asymptotic upper bounds. Let me mention some results and links.
1) There is a well developed theory largely developed by Tutte to determine the number of 3-polytopes with n vertices, as well as of special type of such polytopes.
2) In dimension 3 Steinitz's theorem asserts that a graph G is the graph of a 3-polytope iff it is 3-connexted and planar and this happend iff G is the graph of a polyhedral complex realizing S^2.
3) For d-polytopes with d+3 vertices a complete enumeration, as well as enumeration of simplicial polytopes was found by Perles based on Gale-transform. Also in this case all simplicial [polyhedral] spheres come from polytopes.
4) When d>3 and when r>3 there are much more spheres than polytopes. Upper bounds for the numbers of simplicial polytopes, and general polytopes were obtained by Goodman and Pollack (see Stanleys comment above) and Alon respectively. These upper bounds are based on the Milnor-Thom theorem. (Probably they are quite horrible.) Much much huger lower bounds for the number of triangulations of (d-1)-dimensional spheres were obtained by me (d>4) and Pfeifle and Ziegler (d=4). The asymptotic behavior of (log) the number of triangulations of 3-spheres (and manifolds) with n vertices is still unknown.
5) The best known lower bounds for the number of polytopes for general d and n were obtained by Shemer based on a "sewing construction" discovered by him. (A closely related construction was discovered around the same time by Barnette.)
6) Bruckner (1909) enumerated all simplicial 4-polytopes with 8 vertices (this is the first case not falling under 2) and 3) ) and his work was completed by Grunbaum and Sridhatan. There are 37 combinatorial types and additional 2 triangulations of $S^3$ which dont come from polytopes.
7) Altshuler and Steinberg enumerated all 4-polytopes with 8 vertices - there are 1294 (and all of them are rational) and all 3-dimensional polyhedral spheres with 8 vertices which are not polytopal - there are 42 of those.
8) Altshuler and Steinberg also enumerated simplicial 3-spheres and manifolds with 9 vertices. There are 1297 combinatorial types of 3-manifolds with 9 vertices; all of them are spheres except one. Of those Altshuler and Steinberg showed that 1090 are polytopal, 142 are non-polytopal and the resy were not decided by them
9) Frank Lutz found that there are precisely 249015 triangulated 3-manifolds with 10 vertices. 247882 of those are spheres. Lutz and Sulanke showed that there are 172 638 650 triangulated 3-,anifolds with 11 vertices. (Again, most of them are spheres.)
10) It is known that the number of simplicial d-polytopes with n facets (equivalently the number of simple d-polytopes with n vertices) and even the number of shellable triangulations of the (d-1)-spheres is only exponential in n namely it is bounded from above by $C_d^n$. This is not known to be either true or false for triangulated spheres.
(It looks that understanding the case asked by Igor and even giving good estimates is beyond reach now. But this may depend on the precise motivation.)
I've got some information about a lower bound.
We know how many binary codes there are of length 5 on n words - http://oeis.org/A034190. Each corresponds to a subset of the vertices of a cube and thus a convex polytope. For length 5 with 16 words we get 169112, and a total of 1,226,525 up to symmetry.
I've computed the flag vectors for all such polytopes in dimension 5 - http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.4269. Including polars I get 688,298 flag vectors. (I did this for a good reason.)
From this calculation I can conclude that in dimension 5 with up to 32 vertices there are at least 344,149 such polytopes that are combinatorially distinct.

Garbo was good in 'Ninotchka', but I think Ina Claire steals the show in spades
Claire was excellent but Garbo more than held her own. The chief interest of their scenes together for me is the contrast between Claire's high theatrical style versus Garbo's made-for-the-camera technique, given spice by the fact that the women are playing rivals for the same man.
What to say about "Camille"? The performance of a lifetime and any lifetime I would say (the subject will come up later). Simply love her in one of her least known and neglected parts in "The painted veil" where she is divinely simple and compex at the same time. Nothing tragic, or femme fatale here, just a simple, torn woman who discovers the mysteries of life little by little. As played by Garbo this "ordinary" character becomes trully extraordinary. A pity also that "Woman fo Affairs" was not included in the DVD box wih Garbo. It was the first time that she adopted a modern look thanks to her collaboration with Adrian and this in my opinion is by far her greatest performance in her silent films and also among her very greatest (with "Camille").
Welcome to the board and the discussion, yiannisfrance! Hope to hear more from you. I too revere her performances in Camille and A Woman of Affairs. I've never seen The Painted Veil and it would be interesting to compare-contrast it to the recent version with Edward Norton and Naomi Watts (which itself made for interesting comparisons with the Maugham original).

Occasionally I have to spend some late nights working on projects. It is not a common occurrence, but sometimes projects just need an extra night or two to hit a deadline. Unfortunately I have found that after more than 10-12 hours of work, my brain shuts down and I become about 1/10th as efficient as during normal hours. I hope to work effectively for 16-20 hours (not consistently, occasionally) so I don't think my problem is sleep deprivation.
What techniques or practices should I do to remain more effective when working for long hours?

(WIBW) - The CBS news magazine 48 Hours again turns the spotlight on a Topeka double murder that had gone cold for its season premiere.
It was three years ago when the show first chronicled the cold case killings of Mike Sisco and Karen Garkness, who were found murdered in 2002. The show publicly named Sisco's ex-wife, Dana Chandler, as a suspect.
Since then, Chandler has been arrested and convicted. 48 Hours cameras were along when Chandler was taken into custody in Oklahoma.
Correspondent Richard Schlesinger says the show was chosen as the season premiere because it embodies what 48 Hours is about - shining light on a case that's in danger of being forgotten and bringing the criminals to justice. He says he believes that putting the spotlight on Chandler helped move the case forward.
Schlesinger calls Chandler and Sisco's two children, Hailey and Dustin, the true heroes in the case because they were put in the unenviable position of having to go against their mother in order to bring their father's killer to justice.
The original 2009 story was done by correspondent Harold Dow in what would be one of his final pieces for the show before his unexpected death in August 2010.
The 48 Hours season premiere, "My Father's Killer," airs at 9 pm Saturday, Sept. 29, on WIBW-TV.

October 16, 2013. Psychosis reflects disruptions in a complex, and only partly understood, set of brain circuits. One thing is well established, however—psychosis can be controlled with drugs that block the chemical messenger dopamine from interacting with one of its receptors, the D2 type. However, even when antipsychotic drugs completely quell psychosis, problems with thinking and motivation remain in people with schizophrenia. A new study published October 13 in Nature Neuroscience suggests a possible explanation—that these D2 receptors were overactive during childhood or early adolescence and reworked the usual brain-wiring diagram.
Zheng Li at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues found that D2 dopamine receptors in mice sculpt the shape of brain cells during this middle period of brain development, and that when they are overactive, they leave the cells with fewer places to receive messages from other cells. Consistent with this, and possibly relevant to schizophrenia, the researchers found that overactive D2 receptors during mouse "early adolescence" led to disrupted wiring and weakened memory in adulthood.

The loading capacity for low-ethane propane increases from the current rate of almost 4 million bbl/month to approximately 7.5 million bbl/month. The expanded facility also provides customers with improved access to export domestically-produced LPGs to growing international markets.
Enterprise Products has commenced operations at its expanded
export facility, increasing the partnerships capability
to load propane, butane and isobutane (LPG), the company said
on Thursday.
Located on the Houston Ship Channel, the marine terminal
complex is owned by Oiltanking Partners.
Enterprise also announced that it and Oiltanking have
expanded the scope of their long-term terminal service
agreement, which runs through 2026. This relationship dates
back to the early 1980s.
The expansion of Enterprises export facility increases
the partnerships capacity to load fully refrigerated
LPGs, the company said.
The loading capacity for low-ethane propane increases from the
current rate of almost 4 million bbl/month to approximately 7.5
million bbl/month. The expanded facility also provides
customers with improved access to export domestically-produced
LPGs to growing international markets, according to Enterprise
The amended terminal service agreement with Oiltanking also
gives Enterprise additional operating flexibility, the company
said, including an increase in the number of docks
available to load LPG export vessels. Access to these
additional docks would support further expansions of Enterprises LPG
export facility.
Enterprise said it is currently evaluating an additional expansion that would increase the
partnerships propane export capacity up to 10 million
bbl/month. It could be in service as soon as the beginning
of 2015.
We are pleased to complete the expansion of our LPG
export facility and to enhance our relationship with
Oiltanking, said A.J. Jim Teague, chief
operating officer of Enterprises general partner.
There is strong international demand for US propane and
we continue to receive strong indications of interest for
long-term commitments from customers that could underwrite
another expansion of the export facility.
The combination of the expanded LPG export facility and the
partnerships Mont Belvieu NGL fractionation and storage
complex to which it is connected, uniquely positions Enterprise
to address both the supply and demand side of the equation, the
company says.
Complementing the partnerships export dock initiative is
an expansion of the Panama Canal.
Scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter of 2015,
company officials say the project should provide Enterprise
customers with greater flexibility, including improved access
to Asian markets.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

BOSTON (CBS/AP) -- Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been transferred from Boston's Beth Israel Medical Center, where he'd been since his arrest a week ago, to a prison at Fort Devens, Mass., the U.S. Marshals Service said Friday.
The facility, about 40 miles west of Boston, is on the decommissioned Fort Devens U.S. Army base, and treats federal prisoners and detainees who require specialized long-term medical or mental health care.
The 19-year-old Tsarnaev is recovering from a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during his attempted getaway.
The word comes a day after New York officials said Tsarnaev and his older brother and fellow suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev planned to attack Times Square.
"The surviving attacker revealed that New York City was next on their list of targets," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said during an afternoon news conference. "He told the FBI, apparently, that he and his brother had intended to drive to New York and designate additional explosives in Times Square."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators from his hospital bed that he and his brother had decided spontaneously Thursday night to drive to New York and launch an attack with their five pipe bombs and a pressure-cooker bomb like the ones that blew up at the marathon.
Kelly said that the city was notified by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force Wednesday night about the intentions of Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev traveled to New York at least once last fall. There is a photo of the suspect in Times Square.

TEMPLE (November 4, 2012)--More than 60 firefighters from about five counties around Central Texas gathered in Temple for a training expo for the first time, focused on vehicle extrication.
Firefighters say extrication, the process of getting trapped people out of cars, is almost a daily task for them.
Capt. Leroy Vargas of Temple Fire & Rescue recalls one of the most devastating rescues he has ever assisted.
"A young man unfortunately was trapped within a drive shaft of an 18 wheeler that required partial amputation," Capt. Vargas said.
Firefighters also say the many different types of cars now available give buyers more options, but it also can create challenges when accidents happen.
Advancements in car safety features can be good for the passengers, but without the right tools, make it tougher for rescue workers, firefighters said.
"What was easy to cut with a basic tool in the past, we have to have a more advanced tool to get through the metal today because they're making the cars safer," said Capt. Ron Stewart of Temple Fire & Rescue.
"They're making the passenger compartments more difficult to penetrate when they're struck from outside."
The need for a better understanding and newer tools prompted local firefighters to use stronger cutting tools to get through the newest and strongest metals.
Battery-powered tools also help rescuers move around easier, compared to old tools with power cords and constraints.
There is even help on their smart phones in the form of an app firefighters can use to get specific details about the car they're about to cut into.
"We're constantly having to renew what we're learning. Being a fire fighter, it doesn't mean you go through fire school and then you're done," Capt. Stewart said.
Firefighters say no matter the technology, the priority stays the same.
"The faster we get them out of the car, the faster they can get medical attention," said Matt Robinson of Teague Volunteer Fire Department.

BP Faults Overseer of Gulf Oil-Spill Claims
Company Says Administrator Is Overpaying, Approving 'Fictitious Awards'; More Than 125 People Charged With Fraud
Almost as soon as BP BP 1.21 % PLC agreed to compensate people for damages from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the oil giant started raising concerns that people would try to defraud it, or the court-supervised fund it eventually set up to pay claims.
Now, BP is challenging the fund's process for handing out money, saying in court filings that the fund is approving "fictitious awards" to some businesses and overestimating the losses of many claimants. The fight is set to go before a federal judge in New Orleans on Friday.
The company is asking for an injunction against the fund's administrator—a court-appointed lawyer from Lafayette, La.—saying overpayments have pushed the costs of its legal settlement to $8.5 billion from $7.8 billion, and it could climb higher.
For example, BP said an unnamed rice mill in Louisiana shouldn't have received $21 million in payments for lost revenue because it earned more in 2010 than in each of the three previous years.
The fund administrator, Patrick Juneau, declined to comment. But in court filings, he said the claims assessment and payment process was rigorously reviewed and tested by BP and all the parties to the settlement, as well as approved by a judge.
Lawyers who represent businesses and individuals in the settlement defended the process. "Simply put, BP undervalued the settlement and underestimated the number of people and businesses that qualify," Steve Herman and Jim Roy, the two lead lawyers representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement.
But federal prosecutors have charged more than 125 people across the country with allegedly defrauding BP or the fund, and many defendants have entered guilty pleas. Many of the cases have involved hotel and restaurant workers who claimed they lost tens of thousands of dollars in wages when the spill ruined the 2010 Gulf Coast tourist season.
Some convictions have involved $1 million or more. Earlier this week, a Louisiana businessman was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for overcharging BP for the construction of helicopter landing pads and improperly trying to claim more than $1.4 million for use of a helicopter he leased. The businessman, Bay Ingram of Covington, La., had pleaded guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. His lawyer didn't respond to requests for comment.
BP said it has spent more than $24 billion on spill cleanup and claims made by individuals, businesses and governments related to the Deepwater Horizon accident, which killed 11 men. The company started compensating people and businesses more than a year before it reached the multibillion-dollar civil settlement with tens of thousands of individuals and businesses.
Individuals and businesses filed damage claims directly to BP until June 2010, when the company set up the Gulf Coast Claims Facility to review and pay out claims. In June 2012, that process was taken over by Mr. Juneau's firm as part of the legal settlement.
Ken Feinberg, who administered the presettlement fund, said fraudulent claims were only a tiny portion of the 1.2 million requests for payment he oversaw. About 4,000 claims were referred to the Justice Department for investigation, he said.
"In a program as large as this, you will get claims that are suspicious," said Mr. Feinberg, who has also overseen programs that compensate victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and Vietnam War veterans injured by Agent Orange. "It would be unfair to say it was endemic to the Gulf Coast."
A surge in fraudulent claims related to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 led the Justice Department to create a Disaster Fraud Task Force, which has been handling some of the BP-related cases.

The company has agreed to a 15-year deal with Range Resources to take Marcellus Shale ethane from the Marcus Hook facility in Pennsylvania, beginning in 2015.
INEOS Europe on Thursday said it completed supply and
infrastructure agreements that will secure a significant volume
of ethane feedstock from the US, for use in
its European cracker complexes.
The company has agreed to a long-term deal with US-based Range
Resources for the lifting of ethane from the Marcus Hook
facility in Pennsylvania, starting in 2015.
The Marcus Hook site was formerly a Sunoco refinery and is now being used as a
terminal, operated by Sunoco Logistics Partners.
The agreement is effective upon Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) approval of the Mariner East project.
The supply deal with Range Resources complements our
portfolio of feedstock agreements for our
European crackers and will strengthen our competitive position
as an ethylene producer in Europe for the foreseeable
future, said David Thompson, procurement and supply chain
director at INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe.
INEOS also finalized pipeline transportation services and
terminal services agreements for the shipping of ethane from
western Pennsylvania to Marcus Hook with subsidiaries of
The agreements will be valid for 15 years and will provide
INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe with significant supply
options for the future, according to the company.
It is expected that when completed, the Mariner East project will transport approximately
70,000 bpd of ethane and propane from Houston, Pennsylvania, to
the Marcus Hook terminal facilities.
Ethane will then be separated by fractionation and held in
storage ready for shipment to Europe. It is expected that
ethane from the Mariner East project will become available during
the first half of 2015.
INEOS can now position itself as an attractive
customer for upstream companies with interests in the
Marcellus, Utica and Upper Devonian gas formations, said
We will provide these companies with a credible option
to diversify sales and supply ethane into our downstream
cracker complexes in Europe.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Fort Dayton Excavation Hits Water – Archaeology in Central New York [VIDEO, PHOTOS]

This past spring, more than 100 prominent graduates joined family and friends at a Law School celebration honoring Professor Richard N. Gardner, who retired from teaching in 2012. The two-day, invitation-only event, titled "The Challenges We Face," featured panel discussions on various pressing international issues, including human rights and global trade.
In introducing Gardner, John H. Coatsworth, the Provost of Columbia University and former dean of Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, marveled at the breadth of the longtime professor's accomplishments.
"No one else I know has managed to be a scholar, lawyer, teacher, policymaker, economist, diplomat, institution builder, comedian, and raconteur—all without resorting to reincarnation," Coatsworth said.
Gardner first began teaching his renowned Law School seminar, Legal Aspects of U.S. Foreign Economic Policy, more than five decades ago. He is both a leading expert on international law and a skilled public servant. During his years at the Law School, Gardner took time away from teaching to serve as U.S. ambassador to Italy during the Carter administration, and President Bill Clinton later appointed him as U.S. ambassador to Spain.
During a lunchtime address, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter, praised Gardner's scholarly work for having "anticipated both the challenges of the emerging post-colonial and post-imperial world and the need for an enlightened response."
Gardner's wide-reaching legacy as a teacher became especially apparent during the event's panel discussions, as participants included former students who went on to successful careers in law, business, government, and the nonprofit sector.
During one discussion, Paul A. Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, praised Gardner for his commitment to teaching—and to his students.
"Year after year, he told me with great confidence that each successive Gardner seminar has attracted ever more capable students with ever more brilliant prospects," Volcker said during his presentation at the event. "That should be a source of confidence about the future of the world."

6 Scientific Reasons Your Girlfriend's Father Hates You
#3. He Instinctively Wants to Protect Her
You are, at the very least, thinking about boning his little girl, planning for it, and trying to make it happen as soon as humanly possible. The same little girl he has cherished and protected all her life. This one may seem a blinding flash of the obvious, but it is where the psychological aspects of the father/daughter relationship avert a sharp left turn into Gross Avenue.
As long as his hand stays on that couch everything is nice and PG.
Why You Can't Win
He is programmed to kill you.
Your girlfriend's dad is like the Terminator, and you're Sarah Connor. And the program that has been uploaded into this guy is called reverse sexual imprinting, or the Westermarck Effect, and once you find out what it is, you're going to be damn glad he has it.
Reverse sexual imprinting works like this: if two people are raised in close living quarters during the first few years of life for either or both members, they are somehow desensitized against sexual attraction to each other later in life. In other words, the Westermarck effect is the reason you don't want to bang your sister or your mom, and the reason that your girlfriend's dad doesn't see you as a sexual competitor.
Okay, not "the" only reason.
Instead, he sees you as the guy who is knowing his offspring carnally, and whatever sexual tension a nonrelative would feel after constant interaction with a hot girl in his house is now converted to an overwhelming sense of protection. Protection against you. The enemy. So tread carefully after that inevitable first fight with your sweetie, or you might find yourself on the business end of Daddy's shotgun. He's been itching for the chance to use it.
"You be careful, Ol' Zeke here gets excited when he smells urine."
#2. He Sees You as an Annoying Child
It doesn't matter if her dad grew up in the same town as you, went to the same schools as you did, or even works at the burger station alongside you. It doesn't matter if you're the valedictorian of an Ivy League school and have a six figure job waiting for you after graduation. You can do the right things, dress the right way and say everything that you think he wants to hear, but your girlfriend's dad is still going to hate you. It's the generation gap at work.
"If only your generation could have a couple of real wars. That'd take care of all this Twitter and Nickleback nonsense."
Now, usually when young dudes hear "generation gap" they think of a lame, befuddled old man who's too square for the new, awesome music and technology. But you have to look at yourself through his eyes. When he looks at you, he's going to see this:
That's Fred, he of the many many YouTube videos where he speeds up his voice and squeaks and squeals and gets millions of hits for it. He even got a movie deal, and everyone over the age of 13 wants to stab their own ears out when they hear his stupid voice and see his stupid face. He's just so stupid and annoying and immature and teenager-y.
To her dad, you are Fred.
Why You Can't Win
While you may want to punch Fred's stupid face...
Really, there's no "may" about it.
...millions of YouTube subscribers love him. Specifically, millions of children. How is it possible? How can they be so stupid and like something that so clearly sucks? You wouldn't know unless you were their age. They wouldn't understand why he's irritating unless they are yours. That gap cannot be bridged.
And that's exactly what your girlfriend's dad is going to struggle with the minute you walk in the door. The things you find funny, the way you talk, the way you wear your clothes and comb your hair aren't going to just be foreign, they're going grate on his nerves. Kind of like when you friend a young relative on Facebook and you end up blocking them for their constant unironic LOL talk and heart-filled statuses.
That's for that little joy, information age.
He will feel about you the way you feel about Fred. Only you now have to imagine Fred humping your little girl.
#1. You Make Him Look Bad to Her Mom
Young love is sweet. The passion, the excitement, the grand romantic gestures, the precious moments between the two of you. What you may not have noticed is that you have an audience, namely her mom. And she's watching carefully as you shower her daughter with attention, presents and affection, and whether she shows it or not, she's getting jealous.
She smiles while resentment devours her soul.
Guess who's going to bear the brunt of her envy? Your girlfriend's dad.
Why You Can't Win
It's another pheromone thing. Everybody knows about the supposed synchronization of menstrual cycles in women living together. So, in the same way that Mom can subconsciously pick up on her daughter's menstrual cycle, she can also sense those love pheromones that are getting sprayed around like sex-scented Febreze.
You can choose from "Vulva", "Taint Stink" and "Haitian Delight".
But even on a common sense, non-chemical level, it's going to be pretty hard for the lady to not resent your gifts of chocolates and overstuffed teddy bears and 18th century samurai swords that you keep bestowing on her daughter when the best she can hope for is an occasional "atta girl" and love handle pinch from her husband.
On the plus side? All the trashy romance novels you can read.
You can bet your bottom dollar he is going to feel that resentment, and channel it right back to you. This shit has a way of flowing downhill.

Medicaid and the conventions
The Democrats had their turn last week in the national spotlight. As with the Republican convention, there was no mention of Medicaid and its lack of fairness toward middle-class seniors and disabled Americans.
I was moved by a handful of speeches, most notably the one by first lady Michelle Obama, who, like Ann Romney, espoused family values and spoke effectively about her love for her family. Speeches like these give me hope that our message about Medicaid's negative effect on families will be heard.

Heart-Disease Gains Partly Elude Younger Adults
Rate of Avoidable Deaths Falls Sharply in Decade, but Mostly for Older People
Fewer people in the U.S. are succumbing to preventable death from cardiovascular disease, but most of the improvement in rates is among the elderly, rather than among younger adults who are also at risk, according to federal data released Tuesday.
The rate of so-called avoidable deaths from heart disease, stroke and hypertension declined 29% between 2001 and 2010 in people under age 75, thanks in part to healthier lifestyles and better cardiac care, according to an analysis of U.S. mortality data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the rates of decline were substantially slower among adults under age 65, the agency said. Rates also varied widely depending on where people lived and their race or ethnicity.
The disparities point to a need to more aggressively screen and treat younger adults for high blood pressure and other risk factors that lead to cardiovascular disease, CDC Director Thomas Frieden said on a conference call with reporters. About 64% of people over age 65 with high cholesterol were receiving treatment between 2005 and 2008, compared with only 48% of adults ages 40 to 64, according to CDC data. In addition, some 21.8% to 24% of younger adults smoked in 2009, compared with just 9.5% of the elderly.
"As a doctor, I find it really heartbreaking to know that the vast majority of people who are having a heart attack or stroke under the age of 65 in particular and dying from it didn't have to have that happen," Dr. Frieden said.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., linked to about 800,000 deaths a year. In 2010, the CDC analysis found, 200,070 of those deaths could have been avoided, including 112,329 deaths among people under 65.
One factor that might have kept some younger adults from screening or treatment was a lack of health insurance that would have covered it, while those over 65 can get it through Medicare, Dr. Frieden noted. That situation is expected to change soon as millions more people will be required to buy coverage under the new federal health-care law.
"We do expect that if people particularly in the 40-to-64-year-old age group get insured, get care, and get good care, we will see significant reductions in the rate of preventable heart attacks and strokes in that population," he said, adding that the CDC would study the impact of the expansion of health coverage.
Rates of avoidable death differed sharply by state and county, and were highest in the District of Columbia and the Southern states. "Your longevity may be more likely to be influenced by your zip code than your genetic code," Dr. Frieden said.
Blacks had nearly twice the rate of avoidable death as whites, making it "the single largest contributor" to differences in life expectancy, which at 75.1 years for blacks is 3.8 years below that of whites. The rate of avoidable death was highest among black men—about 80% higher than that of white men or black women. Blacks tend to have more risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and physical inactivity, the report said.
Progress against high blood pressure may account for at least some of the overall reduction in avoidable deaths from cardiovascular disease. For instance, at Kaiser Permanente's Northern California health plan, about 80% of more than 650,000 patients with high blood pressure had their levels under control in 2009, nearly double the percentage in 2001, according to a study published last month in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study, which nearly mirrored the time frame covered in the CDC report, reflects broader gains against hypertension, one of the most important risk factors for heart attacks and strokes.
Cardiologists say they are concerned and puzzled as to why rates of preventable deaths in younger adults aren't declining faster. "Our best possibility of saving lives is by averting premature deaths in younger patients," said Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at Yale University. "We need to hold ourselves accountable for these numbers and figure out what we're not doing well and do better."
He said that some preventive strategies might not be as effective as expected. "We're doing more of it [prevention] now than we were doing before," he said. "Why aren't see seeing progress? Maybe some of the strategies aren't working the way we hope."
Experts at the European Society of Cardiology meeting in Amsterdam said the large number of cases of avoidable heart-disease deaths underscores the importance of continuing efforts to educate and intervene early with patients.
"What we really need in this country, rather than event-driven health care, is prevent-driven health care," said Kim Allan Williams, vice president of the American College of Cardiology and a cardiologist at Wayne State University School of Medicine Harper Hospital in Detroit.

Design and the city – Flickr pic of the day
This photograph of a girl was photographed in the city centre with her designer handbag was taken by Ricardo on behalf our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member the WREN design.
Cape Town is full of people passionate about design and the WREN design is no different: "Behind the people, beside the customer and in front of them is the material with a story. Materials that inspire are those that have already had a life or ones that could not fulfill their original purpose. These bags, as material, have the potential to continue on: for you to share in their story or them in yours."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!
